  I’ve been waiting on this one for a while, Godot 2.0 has finally been released in beta form. Never one for …  lengthy release notes, this release is not exception: After a long, long time in development Godot 2.0 is now in beta! Godot 2.0 Beta features a new interface , and huge amounts […]

  This tutorial came about as a result of a question on my YouTube channel, although it is one of those things that you are going to need to know before long in 3D game programming, so I have made the answer part of the official Godot Engine tutorial series.  The question was: I am […]

  Building on the previous 3D Godot Engine tutorial, today we are going to look at dealing with static meshes in Godot.  That is, meshes that don’t change and do not contain animations.  We will look first at loading a 3D model in OBJ format, apply a texture, then finally look at programmatic mesh creation.  […]

  Now that we have covered 3D basics and loading and creating static meshes now it’s time to move on to loading and using animated models.  Godot currently supports animation only in COLLADA format, which is supported with varying degrees of success in all popular 3D modelling applications.  If you are exporting from Blender, consider […]

  While on vacation I have been looking at the process of extending the Godot Game engine using C++.  Due to the vacation, this isn’t a proper tutorial, I may do one later on when I have access to video, etc…  There is pretty solid documentation of the process in this post on the Godot […]

  In this part we are going to explore using Particles in the Godot Engine.  Particles are generally sprites, either provided by you or generated programmatically, that are controlled by a unified system.  Think of a rain storm, each drop of rain would represent a particle, but the entire storm itself would be the particle […]

  So I decided to take a look at the process of extending the Godot Engine, and to my horror I discovered there is no solution file!  UGH…  Yeah, you can compile from the command line, but that’s not that pleasant of a development experience to an IDE warrior like myself.  I thought I found […]

  Now we are going to talk about two important concepts in AI development in 2D games, path following and navigation meshes.  Path following is exactly what you think it is, you create paths and follow them.  This is useful for creating predefined paths in your game.  When you are looking for a bit more […]

  As mentioned recently, I am in the process of compiling the Godot Game Engine Tutorial Series into an e-book format.  Today I just published the 10 chapter, 150 page first draft of the Godot Engine book.   It can currently be downloaded by Patreon backers right here.   It is currently available in the […]
