Welcome to another developer interview following the introduction of the Godot Showcase page ! Hi, I'm John, I'm a (mostly) solo game developer making games that I want to play. Game development is fantastic because it allows me to bring all of that together into a single project. Game development is hard, right?

First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Godot lightmapper works with one texture per mesh, so sharing UVs between meshes will not give you more optimization. In any case, Godot makes the process of generating unique UVs for each mesh easier for you. How do I use it? Generating UV2 Layer.

Currently, Godot is pretty comfortable for doing 2D cutout animation , with several games in development making use of this feature. A very common request, though, was the ability to do custom mesh deformation based on the same bones used to animate separate parts. Once open, go to the newly added Polygon section of he editor.
