This game is amazing, good job!
I love the little touches like the juicy animation of appearing cards <3

www.amazon.pl/Godot-Game-D... also this book made me realize im ready to try on making a complete project on my own

youtu.be/nAh_Kx5Zh5Q?... thats the best ive found when it comes to teaching the overall code structure, most common patterns and basically what to do after you have familiarized yourself with basic coding

You could try setting up AnimatedTexture instead of a static one for the shader, then within the Animation Player, manipulate the frame param of the shader. It should work very similarly to how you animate a Sprite2D using Animation Player. I'm not sure about Animation Trees though...

Although I understand that this approach cuts off all of the other benefits of Sprite3D node 🙃
I guess that if what you need is basic animated sprite, you could adjust the shader to support that.

You can achieve that using MeshInstance3D with a QuadMesh.
Apply a Shader Material to the Quad Mesh, and write a simple shader which applies a texture to the Quad Mesh. I'm not sure if that will work with your project, but here's a simple demo I've set up - hope that helps 🤞

Oh my mistake with the link, Chris Bradfield did an updated book for Godot 4, just Google for it. For some reason my Google only finds an ebook to buy on a polish store, but i have a physical copy of the book and its great!

Also these 2 websites bsky.app/profile/wikt...

You can't go wrong with www.amazon.com/Godot-Engine...

It's not, but I can share the source files - DM me if you're interested.

bsky.app/profile/wikt... ;)

The next step will be to make it a list of dictionaries from which the level will pick a random layout, wish me luck 🤞

I've just checked and the layout feature in godot doesn't actually do the same thing as it's counterpart in Unity. Unity saves the whole setup (position on the screen(s), resolution of the windows and opened docks as well as their ratios) - godot only saves docks and their ratios 😅

Yeah... Can you play these dlc's or a big gaas update without a copy of the base game tho? 😎

I think so, yes. Keep in mind that what makes the overall experience are not just controls. On mobile you have to look for compromises. Try to find a set of actions available for the player, types of level design and camera scripts that would deliver the game's premise in the simplest way possible.

for what you want to achieve. But we would have to take a deeper look on what kind of experience you're trying to achieve so that it becomes clear what to keep/ change/ remove. I'd certainly look for a solution where swiping left/ right is always the same action but adjusts accordingly to situation.

Sure, why not, ping me when you've got something playable, i'll try to report some valuable feedback 😀
As for you problem... I don't think I will be able to help more via posts here as we have a pretty high level conversation. Surely there is a solution for intuitive and fun controls...
