Godot

So I know the Godot Asset Library links back to some other source like GitHub for the actual files. It also appears that it uses the "git archive" to create the zip file, because you can update .gitattributes to ignore everything but what is in the addons directory which is handy for a plugin.

But does it have any other metrics, like number of times an Asset is downloaded or used? I'm not sure that you can tell from the GitHub analytics if it is pulling it since that table seems to show "clones" and not "archive"s? Also it probably wouldn't look like a new user.

Anyway I was just curious enough to shoot out this question into the ether.

Hi everyone! Let's create a simple algorithm that allows us to remap the colors of our scene to a predefined palette. This effect can be useful if, for example, we want to simulate the screen of an older device that only supported, say, 256 colors, and similar scenarios.

Added the swords to have something else for a change than boxes in all ratios. And, well, every Bulletheaven game needs something to collect, right?

A few seconds longer and it would take off like a choppa

Wanted to have them orbiting while maintaining center alignment, didn't fully work out ¯_(ツ)_/¯ But I do kinda like it

Hi everybody. This is the second part of the tutorial, which explains the basics of a technology called ray marching for rendering a 3D scene using a shader. In the first part, we modeled a simple scene with a sphere, a cylinder, and a cube, and this time we will demonstrate how to properly light such a scene and calculate shadows.

So, I started working on a new project, and I'm thinking of how to license it. Specifically, how to make it as copyleft as possible without making it unusable.

By unusable I mean the license blocking the game (or in a more likely case, any later project that reuses the code) from being published on platforms like Steam. I know that steamshim exists, but I'm not sure if that can be a real solution. Linking against the SDK seems completely optional in Steam's case, but license compatibility is listed as a hard requirement regardless.

The game code consists entirely of a GDExtension written in Rust, so I think I can just neatly LGPL the GDExtension "library" without restricting the game executable itself. It sounds like it should work, but there are some things that I'm not sure of, like hardcoded references to assets.

I really don't enjoy thinking licenses so I usually slap on either GPL or something permissive and be done with it. Anyone notice any holes in my plan, or am I good to go?

I know I can use my own code however I please, but it gets more difficult once there are multiple people involved; I've had one person express vague interest so far.

Thanks.

I'm still figuring out the details but I have a working prototype and it uses (somewhat) accurate sail physics.

Hi everybody! Let's try something a little different today - an introduction to creating complete 3D scenes using shaders. Yes, I know - this technology, called ray marching, has been described many times in other tutorials, and it's hard to come up with something entirely new. Still, I think it wouldn't hurt to add such a video to our collection because I plan to expand on this topic in a new series, and it would be good to have a reference for the absolute basics.

Plug and play hands for FPS with animated weapons.
Feel free to contribute.

Was really excited to see this and was surprised to find it hadn't already been posted so I figured I'd share ☺️

Didn't see this posted anywhere. I realize there are a ton of free tutorials everywhere but this course bundle compiles it in a convenient format for those with no idea where to start.

Ends February 17.

Hi everyone! Let's use the Godot shading language to recreate an effect that falls into the category of a large number of small objects following a trajectory. It consists of simple elements, in this case, ellipses, that orbit along certain curves and together create interesting-looking patterns. So, let's get started.
