Godot

You play as a test subject escaping from an underground lab. You have two phase abilities - phase-dash and phase-wave. Phase-dash is a forward semi-teleport which also damages enemies and negates damage while active. Phase-wave is a projectile attack. As the game progresses, more defences will spawn in each room, including laser tripwires, mines, turrets and drones - and, of course, there's always the omnipresent laser grid advancing from behind, getting ever faster. The goal is to reach room 100, beat a final wave of defences, and escape.

Now pretty much all the core mechanics are in place, I thought I'd share some footage and ask the community for your thoughts on the look of the game as it is. You know how it is: you stare at your own project so long, you lose sight of what might be glaring issues to an outside observer.

So, Godot lemmy - what do you think? 😅

EDIT: we've decided to share a build with you guys, if you're interested in testing it out. We have Windows, Linux and Mac builds. Have fun! https://irmoz.itch.io/phase-killer

The Godot Engine team recently posted about more issues with "AI slop", including various pull requests that have become a big drain on resources.

You've likely seen other projects talking about this across the net, because AI agents and people who use various generative AI tools are generating code and submitting it to lots of projects to pump up their numbers - often while having no clue what the code does and not even testing it. This is becoming a bigger problem as time goes on.

Nous sommes en train de préparer une installation pour la #NuitBlanche de #Montreal, en utilisant le moteur de jeu @godot et les contrôleurs midi de chez Intech Studio. C'est la première fois qu'on utilise leur matériel #OpenHardware et on a beaucoup de fun. On a hâte de vous montrer ça !

Hi everyone! We have another effect on the agenda whose code fits on a single line. This time it will be a simple edge detection, which we can also use as an original way to fade out a scene, for example, after finishing a level in our game. So let’s go ahead and program that one line.

Hi everyone! We’ve already covered several shaders that simulate fog, but they were mostly side effects of technologies that aren’t primarily designed for fog. This time, we’ll finally create a true fog shader and take a look at what options Godot 4 offers for this type of effect.

I'd like to contribute what i can to this sub, but not beeing able to post gif showcasing my things isn't really helpful, any idea why it doesn't work ?

With the stability gained over the past five releases, it's time for polish and quality of life improvements for everyday development.

Hello, everyone! This is a continuation of the previous tutorial, in which we created a simple dithering effect that can be used to simulate, for example, low-quality film or interference in a TV signal on an old screen. And as I promised, this time we’ll finish the topic by programming a shader for classic dithering with a regular structure.

Last Wednesday saw the release of our first Release Candidate build of Godot 4.6. As a reminder, we release RC builds once we think the engine has stabilized and is ready for release. It is your last chance to report critical regressions before we release the stable version.

Today, we’re excited to produce our second snapshot, which addresses the handful of critical regressions that cropped up in testing since then. Unless reports of any show-stopping regressions come from the changes made in RC 1 or RC 2, a stable release is just around the corner.

Please consider supporting the project financially, if you are able. Godot is maintained by the efforts of volunteers and a small team of paid contributors. Your donations go towards sponsoring their work and ensuring they can dedicate their undivided attention to the needs of the project.

Hi everyone! Let’s continue programming shaders whose code fits on a single line. This time, we’ll create an effect called dithering, which in this case means rendering an image using a heavily limited color palette.

Hopefully we can get 4.6 by the end of the month!

Hello, everyone! The effect I’ll be creating in this video falls into the category of image distortion—that is, a simulation of an imperfect display or external interference. As we can see, this interference resembles frequency modulation of a signal and is based on a similar principle. So, let’s take a look at how this algorithm works.

I'm assuming I am allowed questions here? Haven't posted much on lemmy.

I'm wanting to make a small project with support for both playing on a desktop with mouse and keyboard as well as playing on oculus quest 2. Since the project settings include a checkbox for OpenXr I'm wondering if that needs to be turned off for building for nonvr, if its fine to leave enabled or if there is some export preset stuff I can do?

Unrelated question but are there any lemmy communities for showing off games we make from game jams? Did see a game jam community that had links to game jams themselves that hasnt been active in a while

Hi everyone! This is the first video I’ve published in 2026, and since I wouldn’t like to start the new year with something extremely complicated, this tutorial will be easy and quick. We’ll show how we can simulate a view through something like small glass blocks using a shader whose code fits on a single line.

Hi everyone! There are only a few days left until the end of 2025, so I’ll release one more video tutorial this year. Once again, it will be a contribution to the category of scene transitions. And I would say that the rotating vertical tiles look quite impressive. So let’s go ahead and program it.
