Dev update:
- punchier hit VFX
- layering/masking fixes;
- ongoing progress in boss fight dev
- better enemy visibility in tree-heavy areas
- new group combat flow via manual "Kairos Charger"
Not 100% sure about Kairos, but it's starting to feel right

Oh no, it's the unbearable Interdimensional Karen: a floating head that pops in, blocks your view & demands “to talk to the manager!”. Hilarious yet infuriating, still deciding if she stays or gets yeeted back to her own dimension. #gamedev

Between interviews and life events, I finally pinned down the menu revamp! Sleeker UI, easier visual tweaks, and a hefty "under the hood" rewrite. Graphics/UI will still evolve, but now I’m shifting to fresh level challenges, new hazards & objectives beyond enemy mobs. Onward!

Not much new to show yet, but a few updates:
Reworked switching between bubbly messages and dialogue.
Started the story
Added a key character
Added a short speed boost
Forgot to remove audio, oddly, it fits
More redesign & gameplay tweaks coming soon

life hijacked my last 3 weeks, but I’m back in Godot 4 and knee-deep in 3D modeling the next biome. Update-bits soon again.

Just wrapped up my @reactvienna.com talk! My threejs live demo glitched 😅, so I recorded a quick recap starring my shader sidekick, GobGob—this time the ending actually renders. (A few shader effects are not shown in the video, but you’ll get the idea!)

The cover might fool you, but inside is an unexpected mystery. Every time I thought the story had revealed everything, it kept unfolding with more twists. In true Japanese fashion, it dives deep into details, here, picture composition...and only comes together at the final pages.

testing grass with movement in it
update:
.) simple box mesh grass (vs multi mesh grass, video below)
.) first iteration of a menu (probably will change completly)
.) change camera perspective to orthogonal instead of perspective

Give me all the features
Our first development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.5 has arrived!
The coming of Spring (in the Northern hemisphere) has thawed the thick cover of feature freeze which held many feature PRs in stasis.
With a first harvest of ca. 400 PRs, it's time to start testing!

Update:
Testing a lot of new things. barrels, environment stuff, invisible walls, flying swords for melee. a not yet working grid duality mesh system for better visuals. Probably moving back to load multiple level chunks in one instead of adding/removing them on the "go"
