TileSets have proven to be super useful to break out in the Little Goblin level editor. The TileData custom data is super useful, and in this case I used it to automatically create object categories for sorting purposes. #Godot #GodotEngine

Good news! I got it working, relatively. It's not pulling the tiles correctly for the terrains, but I have a method of dynamically gathering the terrain sets, their terrains, and a tile example from them. Now just to fine-tune it. (Don't look at the blurry ass text i s2g)

Just finished A Feast of Putrid Delights by @styxteeth.bsky.social and it was such a fun horror story to read, y'all should pick it up if you can.

Had me going "Ohhh now you can't just go and do that" at the main character like a disapproving midwestern grandfather

Haven't shown any WIPs lately so here is our poor and bald NPC getting scared and fleeing to hide while on the job. Next is adding dialogue like I did with the guards! Lighting not enabled yet and the level isn't ready don't look too hard at it #LittleGoblin #Godot #GodotEngine #indiedev #gamedev

You ever feel like you programmed something and the entire system is holding itself together like a spring in the widow-maker, ready to blow up and kill you at any moment? That's how I feel returning to Little Goblin after like a month of not looking at it

We're making a little stealth game about a Little Goblin

We have updated the @studiorespite.com website!! We changed our host to nekoweb for reasons and Cheli drew a really cute banner for Little Goblin, so please go check it out to see the full thing!

This is very early so there's lots that I know needs to be changed and tweaked, but I got the underlying dialogue system up and running! The reason it moves so much is because you can hear conversations that are happening off-screen. I'm just happy that it will actually come together #godot #gamedev

I decided to add Visual Sounds™ to Little Goblin today for accessibility purposes. It'll probably be off by default and enabled by an option, but I wanted it to be there. I have some visual QoL changes like fading with distance, but do y'all have any ideas for how to improve it? #Godot #gamedev

I need to tune the guards' vision and hearing once I actually add lighting to the level, and it's a lil buggy, but I got the guards (and other NPCs) to fade in and out according to the status of the room(s) they're in. #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev #LittleGoblin #StudioRespite

Once again @glitcheli.bsky.social saves me from hours of stress by thinking of this. I really didn't like how the walls faded in and out as you traversed. Now the rooms are invisible until you get close enough to enter them. Feels much more focused and claustrophobic! #Godot #LittleGoblin #gamedev

This needs more fine-tuning and I need to adjust light occluders but I'm getting to a point where I'm happy with how the walls are fading. You do need to be able to see in a stealth game after all!

I love this app, bisky app

sometimes i hate game development #Godot

With the rate that I'm building out the sole level for Little Goblin, you can expect my #Godoctober game to come out some time in late February. That being said, @glitcheli.bsky.social created the sneaking animation, so here's our little freak sneaking around the test area! #Godot #GodotEngine

There's someone in the attic.
