You think my lock's company would sponsor a replacement if I shared in social media how the thief gave up 3/4th of the way cutting through and went for the cable lock on the bike next to mine instead?

Just saw that the #godot Road Generator passed 800 stars on github right after the v0.8.0 update... I guess should hurry up with v0.9.0 to hit 900 then!

Another one bites the dust, this one has really hampered the ability to make procedural placements along roads. No longer!

Officially at the stage of tutorial-driven-development for QoL improvements. Meaning, as I check how tutorial-worthy the current code is, I find and stamp out the awkward steps. Just here, a tweak to make it much easier to make bridge sections on the fly #godot #road #bridges

Dang this took me awhile, but was an important issue to fix before the official release of the Terrain3D support for the #godot Road Generator addon.

Final result: Roads can now have UV'd undersides, useful for bridges. Fully interpolates between individual RoadPoints, including to an "off" mode, but defaults to parents so you can assign for the parent road container or overall system.

Working on seamless UV mapping for for the new manifold thickness feature a community member recently worked on. Super handy being able to tweak in the viewport and live edit the code without restarting the scene/editor.
Also just now saw I need to flip the direction on the reverse wall ha whoops

The silliest bug that makes me chuckle each time: I can pick up calls on my browser thanks to my carrier. But the ringing sound ... is just a background media player I guess?
So pressing pause (aka resume my system music player after a call) then "plays" the ringer again till I press pause
