Still hard at work on content for the Steam page 😅

Spent this week working on code mechanics and making cats for the demo. Almost done with the models, just 2.5 left to go

Can't show the full cast yet, but here are two fluffy freelancers based on concepts by a follower. They are working hard.. or at least pretending to, just like real cats 🐱💻

I'm working on networking.
Big brain energy needed. I've read and studied a lot about networking in FPS games throughout the years, but my own implementations so far have been rather unimpressive.

You think I can knock it out of he park this time around? I've been doing Liblast for 5 years now, this is the 4th from-the-ground-up iteration of the project. I hop I've learned my lesson by now...

Ever since Godot 4.0 pre-alpha the reflection probes are sometimes causing flashes when baking their internal cubemaps.

Years later this is still a problem I don;'t know how to solve.

For anyone who saw me experience a frustrating bug in my last stream at @wesley I have found a post about the issue from late last year:

I don’t have time to write up exactly how this relates to my problem, but iykyk. In the meantime I am trying to come up with a solution.

#GodotEngine #GameDev #GameMath

Adding an instantiated scene to the tree correctly creates a problem?

Well, it solves your problem. So… Yes! That being said, it’s still quite a bit of extra work to solve a (seemingly) trivial problem. So if I were you, I’d still open up an issue on GitHub in the hopes of this being avoidable altogether.

Also, if you didn’t know, I’ve been streaming ever so slightly more often on my #Owncast channel. So, stop by and say hey!
