Trying out some more theming for UI stuff in #godot
Trying to emulate the old AD&D Stone UI look from the original Baldur's Gate 1 (Not EE). I'm starting to see a resemblance.
Let me know what you think!

Did more decluttering, and scaling on my Unit/Inventory Screen. So far I'm happy with the way it scales. at 720p/1080p.
Need to try at home for 1440p.

Finally, I buckled and signed up for a different front end for Bluesky after my State was blocked.
Either way, today is a good day so we'll share some fun videos of Prototypes.
An Inventory System I've been working on in #godot

Cleaned up my Spell Creator so far, and added (De)Serialization for spells to JSON, so you can share spells created with friends easier.
Still a lot of work needs to be done, but it's progress!

#godot Tip! You can change the Text Editor Colors. Both Manually, and Import them from File!
I use a lot of Languages at my job that isn't GDScript, I tend to prefer VS Code's Default Dark Theme Colors. It's not fully 1:1, but it's pretty close.
Get the Theme Here:

If you haven't already seen, #godot 4.5 is getting more SVG support.
Was able to load the entire game-icons.net catalogue in less than 2s. While dropping 25ish mb of storage space.
There does seem to be some delay on drawing though. I'll take it though!

A big game changer was makeing a generic stat class to handle mathing modifiers and adjustments. (Vitality to Max HP, etc)
Which naturally leads into an equipment system...then items to grant stats...it never ends.
Functionally it works! Pretty it's not. :)

Alrighty, show off time. I took some time from my primary project to work a little bit on my own personal project.
It's amazing what you can learn in a year, and how much better you get with practice.

Oh might as well show some visuals.
Ended up using a ShapeCast3D for melee weapons, and saving preset shapes for different melee weapons.
This is example of a "wide arc" where you have a massive cleave area. I also have a generic slash, and stabbing ones too.

In these screenshot examples, Our SaveManager is a Singleton, which is always loaded first
Our PlayerStats has a health variable
When our player script is ready, it gets a reference to the resource and then adds 100 health
The next time we save, our save file will have the player's health at 1100

Here's my example you can copy:
1. Define file_name, and save_data
2. On Ready, Load file_name and put it into save_data
2a. We check if file exists, if not we create a new one
3. When we call save game, we flush the Resource to disk using the same file_name

We simply write variables like any other script, but make sure you include the keyword @export.
You can see my screenshot for added context.
My save file is serializing:
Resource called PlayerStats
Resource called Inventory
Dictionary for Level Objects
Dictionary for Keys (Color, Collected, etc)

Today's progress has been writing a spell targeting system to be as open as possible. Selecting Single targets, Multiple Targets, a specific cell in a grid (for AoE effects)
If you squint you can see I successfully console logged targeting Jim. :)

I keep seeing other people recoloring their #godot editors. Anyone else want to share their color choices? :)
My personal color choices:
Base 070707
Accent ff004e
Also in case you haven't seen you can change the font of the editor, so you can use www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/

Enjoying showing my prototypes. At the beginning of the year I got a Steam Deck and I wanted to try running #godot projects on it. So I made a 2D Zelda-Like, akin to Link's Awakening. Turns out It run very well. Also super happy with the strafing/backpedaling feature too. Forgot I did that.

Played a lot of Stolen Realm with Friends, and got inspired to make my own Hex Grid. (With help from www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexago...)
