Godot Tactics RPG – 01. Intro & Setup

The Liquid Fire

link] [link] [link] [link] [link] Prerequisites Some knowledge of code is definitely going to help here. I’ll be writing most code in Godot’s Gdscript, so familiarity with that or Python will help. The first thing to download will be the sprites and textures from the original tutorial.

Dev snapshot: Godot 4.0 beta 16

Mircosoft Game Dev

Those typically shouldn’t add instability to the engine, but may require doing some changes in your scripts, scenes, and shaders if you were using the affected APIs. As a side-effect, projects that used StyleBoxTexture for controls that relied on the old center rect code, such as ScrollBars, will need readjustment.

GLES2 and GDNative, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

Since I want to be able to help out with more rendering related tasks in the future, in places where existing code could be re-used, I am rewriting those parts myself to get a better understanding of the code. implement basic texture loading. generate C++ classes for GLSL shaders at compile time. load meshes.

GLES2 and GDNative, progress report #3

Mircosoft Game Dev

mesh loading. basic mesh drawing. implement spatial shaders. The main bug that was keeping me busy for weeks was related to a shader bind that was not descriptive enough when blitting a viewport to the screen. This makes for nicer code for the programmer. Done February 2018. 2D rendering stabilized. NativeScript 1.1

GLES2 and GDNative, progress report #5

Mircosoft Game Dev

In order to deform the mesh according to the bone transforms, each vertex (generally "point of a triangle") can be influenced by up to 4 bones. The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In In rendering, textures are used for sooo many things.

Optimize Vegetation Generation

Mnenad

Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. Batching means to combine mesh objects that share the same material or that are marked as static in the Unity inspector. In my case I had terrible FPS with just some thousand mesh instances.

Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry.
