Tasty Humans is the latest, and in my opinion, the greatest creation of Pangea Games. It’s a tile-placement, puzzle-solving board game for 1-4 players about villagers attacking monsters. Except it’s from the monsters’ point of view! The Tasty Humans Kickstarter went on to raise $20,536 and then several thousand more on BackerKit for a total of $28,000 and counting.

Camera code is really hard. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Writing camera code that is technically correct is easy. Writing camera code that feels right is really hard. You will spend the entire duration of your project tweaking your camera code to make it feel right. You will never be happy with it.

Expecting a Vulkan progress report? Not this month! As Godot 3.2 was released by the end of January, February was purely dedicated to do large core refactoring in preparation for Godot 4.0. This is required to unblock other contributors and their areas. Core refactoring? Godot 3.0 was released more than two years ago. With it, the amount of Godot users kept growing quickly and steadily.

Hey, more Steampunk! I’ve got a story in the fourth “Mormon Steampunk” anthology, A Mighty Fortress , which releases on February 18th and is available for pre-order now. We’ve got some short video trailers for some of the stories. This one is for my story, “The Tunnel.” The Tunnel is loosely inspired by a legend circulating around Britain and parts of Europe from the late 1800s (but surviving until at least the middle of the 20th century) about the “Morm

When I was a neophyte game developer, I found an excellent article by Wizards of the Coast, creators of Magic: the Gathering , called Ten Things Every Game Needs. It was written almost five years ago, but the wisdom within the article is still very relevant. This two-part article was so influential in my initial design of War Co. that I actually quoted it in my business plan.

Godot communities keep growing steadily around the world. As a result, in the past years, many local groups related to Godot usage and development have started to appear in different continents, countries and cities. Each of them usually has their own model and activities, but often suffer of visibility problems, as it is difficult for Godot users in those regions to know such groups exist and what they do.

Most projects you will create in Unity are probably intended to be interactive. They should be able to respond to mouse clicks and drags, keyboard, touch, or other forms of user input. This tutorial will cover a variety of options by which you can manage these types of events. MonoBehaviour Events. Tip – the methods we will examine here are very quick and easy to use, but I consider them to be “legacy” code.

Just under two years ago, I wrote about how we run fire drills (incident management role play scenarios) in the Core tribe. The post covered the mechanics of planning and running the drills, but also talked a bit about the tools that we were using. Since then, a lot has changed in how our fire drills work, and this post will cover the “what” and “why” of those changes.

Hello Godotters, as part of my November work (sponsored, as always, by Mozilla ) I've been working on finalizing DTLS support I wrote about in a previous report , and implementing a custom ENet socket layer that uses it. This allows for optional, transparent, easy-to-use encryption of the high level Multiplayer API when using the ENet peer ( NetworkedMultiplayerENet ).

This is the last of four articles in the Failure Recovery series on Start to Finish. My own recent failure to launch a board game in 2018 , Highways & Byways , is what inspired this detour from the originally planned articles. I think that a frank discussion of failure – what it looks like, the consequences, and moving forward – is really important for new creators to learn.

Godot 3.2 was released a few weeks ago as a major update to our free and open source engine, bringing close to one year of development to our users. Since then, work has begun in Godot's master branch to merge the preliminary Vulkan support and start the rework of the engine internals that we had planned over the past two years. All this work is for our future Godot 4.0 and will not be included in maintenance 3.2.x releases to preserve compatibility and stability.

Godot 4.0 features start to land in the development branch, and I'm pleased to introduce you the new NavigationServer and NavigationServer2D interfaces. In previous Godot versions, we didn't have a Navigation server and everything was done through the use of the Navigation node.

In many Git-based development workflows, the default master branch is where most of the development happens. It can be from well-defined feature branches (or in our situation Pull Requests) that are merged into master once ready, or with development work happening directly on this branch. Whatever the workflow, the master branch will rarely be meant for use in production, and end users are only encouraged to use it if they want to help with day-to-day testing, not if they want to get some work d
