Once again messing with shaders and playing with color remapping.
Maybe I need to add some kind of color correcting since there's too many situations where the lighting goes too extreme. I want a softer saturated look, and my characters will have strong black outlines.

Yoink! Although I'm gonna see how intuitive it feels in a dual hand layout to support action buttons (roll, attack, etc). As much as I love portrait, I can't figure out good UX that handle action buttons well 😕
P.S: Game looks great on my Pixel Fold! (Main Menu scaled a bit weird though)

While working on my debug tool, it seems to uncover some strange oddities about the #GodotEditor .
My tool is essentially just a parser for Node.get_orphan_node_ids(), and when ran inside of a tool script it seems to show orphans in #godot itself.
I'm assuming these are orphaned for caching?

I had an idea about a co-op horror game (think REPO and Lethal Company), but focused around deep cave diving...

Discovered a nasty orphan node memory leak and still haven't quite found the source.
While working on a fix, I created a neat little debugger plugin to view orphan nodes.
Also added some alerts so errors are pushed as soon as orphan node leaks are introduced.

Tested it out and got promising results, thanks!
I don't want it to zoom in my game subviewport too, but I'm thinking I can probably offset that by dividing the camera zoom by the content view scale or something.

Unfortunately this will be my *real* speeds, since I always keep my router connected to a Mullvad VPN. Would love to figure out how to boost these VPN speeds. Also would love to know if I could dynamically change Wireguard servers based off of speeds...

Nice, got a WiFi 7 router and it was a massive speed boost. Finally hitting my 1Gbps advertised speeds.
I picked up the Flint 3 from GL.iNet for like $180 (free shipping) and definitely recommend it. I mostly went with this specific company since their firmware is open-source and built on openWRT.

Posting a quick recording of the extremely basic procedural map generation I've been working on. Also some very basic GUI. Haven't uploaded some gameplay in a little bit so getting this out before I rush out to work!

#Gamedev Pro Tip:
Bad at math like me? Just create debug tools to visualize everything so you can brute force the solution!

Showing off some #ScreenshotSaturday progress on my dither #shader effect!
It correctly dithers the way I want it to. Still tweaking it, might want the effect a bit more pronounced, and having it just dither the lighting has been a bit meh. Also some music 😊

Nice, had me try this game and basically got the same score! Even chose the same ending lol. Honestly was really easy to remain consistent overall, I didn't even look at the metrics the game was trying to use.

Not a ton to showoff this #ScreenshotSaturday , so here are some random test maps I have showing off other tilesets. One more GBC old school, the other more modern.
This is my in-development game called Quintessence.

The newest console is my Ayaneo Micro that I got yesterday, it's really sweet. Man I wish I still had my first and original N64 😭
