"Today, I'll squash some bugs!"
A few moments later …
"Now I have more bugs, and squashed my title screen 🤷"

A screenshot of Kofoin title screen with text menu correctly scaled, showing in the background the hive and some bees with the terrain, but they are all squashed, because of an issue with the resolution.

I just discovered that Godot 4.5 have a "View > Preview Translation" button, in the top toolbar of the viewport.

Super nice to check if everything fits in the box, for right-to-left and non-latin character languages!

Godot 4.5 screenshot with the View > Preview Translation menu open. There is nothing fancy to see except the two button highlighted so other people could find the menu.

I started Kofoin because:
- I like Tower Defense genre
- I wanted to make a game in Basque language

Now with 350+ wishlists & soon releasing in Early Access on Steam, I feel proud, amazed and terrified all at once 😅

To everyone supporting me, you are awesome, milesker! 🫶

Trying some Life/Experience gauge in Kofoin.

It's mostly an hexagon SDF, a some voronoi noise, and some math with polar/radial UV projections.

In Kofoin, units are pre-rendered as spritesheet using a python script in Blender 🐜

Gamedev in a nutshell
Two playmobil face to face in a 4 panel: - Both playmobil are visible, the one of the left as the label "runs the code" - Then only showing the right one with "1 error" - Focus on the left playmobil with "fixes the error" - Focus on the right one saying "6 errors, 12 warnings"

The image is a screenshot from Steam developper website where it show the text after submitting a game page to review. It reads as: "Your app is in the review queue. The review typically takes 3-5 days and we will e-mail you with feedback or approval. No further action is required until the review is complete."

Working on game's UI really feels like fine-tunning a very small clock, but it is really satisfying when everything fits together!

#indiegame #gamedev #madewithgodot #screenshotsaturday
A screenshot of Godot editor with the game in the center(it is a Tower Defense with bees) on which UI elements are visible: On the top left corner the Polllen resource indicator, top center show a countdown and next wave of enemies, top right is a gear/cog icon. Bottom left displays the Hive life, and the rest of the bottom is filled with hexagonal icons for actions, spells and available flowers to built.

What is a Tower Defense where you manage your swarm of Bees?

A small Godot tip if you want to have nodes (ex: debug button) that only exists when the game runs in the editor (ex: by pressing F5), use:
✅ OS.has_feature("editor")

❌ Engine .is_editor_hint()
Is for "@ tool" scripts inside editor.

#godotengine #indiedev #gamedevtips
A screenshot of Visual Studio Code showing two panels: On the left, a Godot node hierarchy with as root a Control, with a Button child. On the right, the following code: ``` extends Control func _enter_tree() -> void: if not OS.has_feature("editor"): $Button.queue_free() ``` This is useful to check if the game is currently running inside the editor itself, and in the exemple given, will delete the child button from the hierarchy, preventing it from being usable in non-editor game.

A very nice tip from a friend was to store my game data in a google sheet, and then use some code to download and integrate it automatically:
Using Godot, it's quite easy, with curl through HTTPRequest to Google Sheet API 👍

Link to code below ⬇️

Making a small Tower Defense with Bees!
Also, what you see is what happens when you have no artist, only programmers.

#madewithgodot #screenshotsaturday
A screenshot of a work in progress game: it is a Tower Defense based on a hexagonal tiled map. You must protect your Hive by managing your bees. Ant enemies are shown spawning from edge of the map.

One zone is selected, showing some user interface display + and - button for "gather" and "defend" icons, used to control the bee behaviour.

Making a game with a custom engine is a lot of fun but sometimes you just want to add a simple thing, and then realise how many other simple (or not!) things need to be made before...

But at least (thanks to emscripten) I now have a working Web (internal) demo working! 😉

Time to learn a bit of Blender!
A first for me so I have *a lot* to learn, exploring low poly style for now.

Garaia da Blender ikasteko!
Nirentzat lehenengoa da, low poly estiloarekin joango naiz oraingoz, espero dut ez denik zailegi izango!

When done, we will create a script that use the `keyboard_get_keycode_from_physical` and the `get_keycode_string` to retrieve the layout-dependant key, get our texture resource path and format the rich label with it.

And tada!
A screenshot of a GDScript extending RichTextLabel. It defines a list of PNG resources associated with lowercase letter (ex: "keyboard_a.png" for the 'a' letter). Then it retrieve the physical keycode for the letter Q, convert it to lowercase string, use the key to retrieve the asset path, and format the RichTextLabel with the path, effectively display the corresponding texture.

First we will need some assets for letters, I highly recommand @kenney.bsky.social 's https://kenney.nl/assets/input-prompts ( thank you! 🙏 ).

Then we have to setup a RichTextLabel, enable the BBCode and use the [img] tag with a {texture} variable that will be formated by script.

I have a little thing I wanted to share for Godot users.

Not all people have "qwerty" keyboard (azerty, qwertz, and so on), and let's say we want to display "Press [key]" in some UI that follow the player keyboard layout.

Let's see how to do this:🧵👇
