Working more shaders for abilities, this time for Pindrop, grants some shields and damage, but now has a neat vfx.

Working on new shader effects for my mana-drain ability that converts mana -> health, this is a fun one. It's still a work in progress, but I like where it's going #shader #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame

Some characters and monsters can have multiple colors they are aligned with, the top right little squares weren't super obvious, so I made the panel have a sweeping shader with the different combinations, should hopefully be a little more obvious now #screenshotsaturday #godot #shader #indiegame

While not visually impressive for a screenshot Saturday, this little network indicator, allows the game to sync fallen players into the pvp pool, for future battles against other players. Wrote a python / fastapi backend for my game.

Playing around with shaders again created a trippy wavy effect. Also worked quite a bit with godotsteam.com this week, trying to integrate some basic steamworks functionality. So much learning to be done...

Playing around with transition screens, with the help of this fantastic project: github.com/cashew-oldde... It's got some very good documentation and is well put together, was very easy to use and modify.

Oh rotation, and resolution swap. How I thought it would be so easy, only to realize that popup, tooltip, drag previews don't get rotate due to be rendered with subviewport... Anyways the bulk of the work is done now for play-ability on #steamdeck.
