In #GodotEngine, you can add new animations on top of imported animations. Here I add some juice to the crab's death animation by animating a couple of GPUParticle3D and a push back movement.

I finally updated my starter kit to 4.5 🚀Go check it out on Github!
github.com/Nodragem/top...
I also corrected a long standing bug 🪲where picking up the toygun would not work properly. #GodotEngine

Working on tutorials that explain the color-based puzzle/combat system: mark enemies of same color, shoot enemies of opposite color. #gamedev #godotengine #indiegame
Have a look behind the scene below ⬇️

In John Space, players will have to work together to defeat enemies. Here one player is marking the crabs so that the other can shoot them. #gamedev #godotengine

I often see VFX tutorial for #GodotEngine using an Animation Player to rotate the particles around an axis. I found that we can also do it with Orbit Velocity in the particle system. Just need to make sure you add a XYZCurve and only keep the Y Curve.

Breaking rubbish together is always fun! plus, breaking enough rubbish will earn you an healthkit #GodotEngine #Gamedev

⛏️I wanted to carve my levels from the rocky background ⛏️using connected spheres of adjustable width.

😶Turns out you can do something very similar with #Blender3d by mixing its Skin modifier, Solid modifier and Boolean modifier. Makes me want to translate this workflow to #GodotEngine even more.

🚀Added even more juice to the Shooter (Large Weapon):
- enemies are projected away on death with smoke particles
- bits of crabs/stone are projected on death
- dissolve effect on the projectile impact vfx
😶‍🌫️I am basically reusing a lot of my Starter Kit's tricks 😶‍🌫️

😅I will stop adding juice when the player can't stop shooting and don't know why 🚀🚀! #GodotEngine #gamedev

🎵Sound ON 🔊I digged out this "prototype" I've made 8 years ago in #phaser.io because I remembered the sound of the gun was satisfying.

There is no game in that game, and yet, you just want to keep shooting 🧐 This is what I would like to replicate in John Space (my current project).

I don't know if that happens just to me, but my aiming animation and my running animation are conflicting on the root spine bone.

My solution is to create a RotationModifier node from SkeletonModifier3D, so I can override the rotation of the spine bone when aiming. #GodotEngine

🕹️Playtest 2 of #JohnSpace🕹️ Ok, this game starts to be fun! 😱🚀!!

Main changes were to:
- make the marking temporary so that Player 1 always has something to do
- health counter and death, so now there is a real risk to lose the encounter

Time to stop making tools and pretty stuffs 👀, and time to start making a game 🚀😅! #GodotEngine

Here I am playtesting a game mechanic where one player has to mark enemies while the other can only shoot enemies when they have been marked.

📽️🦀Little crabs in action in #GodotEngine!
I also start experimenting with film grain and scattering rocks/flora to hide the transition between Rock and Sand.

😅When you're trying to do a quick level prototype and get ropped into making a polished enemy model, with its animations and state machine 🚀🚀
#gamedev #GodotEngine

Getting started with the animations of the little crab, should have him ready to import in #GodotEngine soon.

These little buggers only just took a day and a half to bake from high poly to low poly... But I think it was worth it!
