TIL #GodotEngine has built-in support for following focused child nodes. Neat!

Oh, and working on rebindable controls ⌨️

Been pretty quiet around here lately, but that's because I've been hard at work on Unto Deepest Depths during the closed playtesting and I look forward to sharing the updated game with you soon!

Making this plugin was already worth it for creating units earlier on in the dev cycle, but even now, in the beta stage, it's been saving me a lot of time to quickly iterate on tweaks to existing units.

Definitely doing more plugins for future projects!

Here's something a little different for #ScreenshotSaturday, a quick look at my custom #GodotEngine plugin for managing unit actions, with the mage as an example.

Left column are the relative cells to attack, right is the cell to click to activate, and above is the rule for when it's valid.

Working on letting you see where enemies could attack if other units move out of the way (hatched area) to help with turn planning.

Fixed a bug on teleporting units so that they can now properly pass through walls to reach their destination!
