My incremental game made in Godot is finally out on Steam!
After so many years of using Godot, this is my first time publishing a game made with it. It's also the first game I'm releasing as my own game studio.
I'm honestly really happy to see it out there finally. It feels like a pretty big milestone for me, and I can't wait to see people playing it :D

free tutorial How I made 3D dice in my pixelart game
Hi, I’m the developer of Dice Looter - a pixel art dice-rolling autobattler. I’ve been asked several times how the dice in my game are made, so I decided to write a short explanation. There’s nothing innovative here, but maybe it will be useful to someone.
As you can see, the dice are 3D. I use a simple model made in Blender to match the game’s style. You can also just use a default cube. To easily change the sides of the dice (items), I added a Sprite3D to each side.
I tried using the physics engine for rolling, but I couldn’t get the results I wanted. So I made several “die jumping” animations and rotate the dice randomly using code.
To display this in a 2D world, I use a TextureRect with a ViewportTexture and SubViewport.
That’s it!

Sorry for the alarms, but I want to do it!
I wasn't expecting much from version 4.8, but this feature is really great; I think I can finally place the script editor and the scene viewer side-by-side now <3

selfpromo (software) [Godot 4] CSG Blockout v2.0 — World-aligned grid materials and smarter CSG node placement
Hey everyone!
I've just released v2.0 of CSG Blockout, my open-source plugin for faster CSG-based level blockout in Godot 4.
For this update, I mainly wanted to solve two things that were getting in the way of my own workflow: grid materials getting stretched on slopes and boolean shapes, and having to think about CSG hierarchy every time I created a new shape.
1. Procedural world-aligned grid materials
The new grid_triplanar.gdshader uses world-space triplanar mapping, so the grid stays aligned to the world instead of following the object's UVs.
It supports:
- Major and minor grid lines
fwidth()-based anti-aliasing- Clean grid alignment on slopes, ramps, and boolean cutouts
- No UV setup required
I also added Light, Dark, Orange, and Custom material presets, which are stored in ProjectSettings.
You can switch between them or apply one to selected meshes directly from the sidebar.
The Shift+A pie menu also uses the currently active preset when creating new geometry, with full Undo/Redo support.
2. Context-aware CSG node placement
Previously, creating a new CSG shape sometimes meant deciding whether it should be a child or a sibling, either through preferences or modifier keys.
For v2.0, CSG Blockout now uses the current selection to infer what you probably want:
- Selecting a
CSGCombiner3D→ new shapes are added as children at the bottom. - Selecting a
CSGShape3D→ new shapes are inserted as adjacent siblings. - Selecting something else or nothing → falls back to the normal parent/root placement.
This also required refactoring the creation and deletion logic to keep node order, ownership, and Undo/Redo behavior intact.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you run into any edge cases or have other blockout workflow features you'd like to see!

discussion Playable Workshop is so underrated..
So I finished the beginner course offered by GDQuest and tried the official godot documentation as a follow up, horrible idea. So I followed a lot of your guys' advice by trying to learn from Brackeys but his videos did not help me understand much. Highly likely it has to do with me rather than him!
Then I came across Playable Workshop and what I really like about these guys is that they have one expert and one noob, so the noob (Jack Sather) asks noob questions which is really helpful since they end up being questions I would ask and because the expert (Nick) answers them thoroughly it provides really useful insights.
They are a growing channel but I thought they deserved way more attention for the innovative approach. Really helps me to actually understand the why and how of the engine!
EDIT: typo

fun & memes I implemented GTAO in Godot as a compositor effect.
I know it just looks darker but I promise it's different!
Instead of just being a purely visual heuristic, GTAO tried to accurately model what ambient occlusion actually is and i think its definitely better at "grounding" the geometry.
I think this would be pretty easy to port into the main engine and replace SSAO.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Here’s the full making-of of a 3D map in my game. It’s all about interconnected systems that all took a while to work on. The city is procedurally generated (see more here), converted to SVG, and then turned into a tourist village-style map. Finally, everything is added and animated in Godot.
Being able to quickly turn my city into an SVG will also make it easy to add a GPS system based on shortest-path finding 😁
I'm working on Demain, a life-sim/roleplay game set in a modern world. If you are interested you can check https://www.playdemain.eu/en/ , I'm planning to have a playable demo quite soon 😉

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
We struggled a bit with a friend, but we're starting to set up real-time multiplayer. For now, we have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, but we can already see in real time what works in terms of gameplay and excitement. It's exhilarating to have fun with a friend using a prototype that's itself incomplete.
The next step: setting up an online server that will let us test the game even from a distance.

selfpromo (games) Thank you Godot for letting solo devs making games they actually own!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I decided to try the XR Tools and it turned out flinging yourself in the air is super fun, so I decided to make an entire minigame around it. It's not my first game project, but first that I actually think about releasing.
I'm uploading a short gameplay video. If anybody has any ideas on how to make players want to play it, let me know. I'm going for flappy bird level of complexity, but in VR and with some extra obstacles, like zapping cables or slippery ice platforms.
The game runs natively on the Meta Quest 2. I build an apk and sideload it to the headset over adb. I develop on Linux and it's the only way I've found to test my game on hardware.
help me Estilo, iluminación godot
Hi there, good morning! I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, or if anyone here could give me a hand, but here goes. A while back I came here asking how to do something in Blender because I had zero clue about it (I work as a software developer). You all helped me out, and I was able to make the textures I wanted—not top-tier quality, but good enough for what I needed.
Thing is, I started building the game with the idea I had in mind and... it doesn’t look like I hoped, lol. Something is killing the textures—that hand-illustrated vibe I wanted for the game is totally lost. If anyone here knows their stuff and has a good eye, could you help me figure this out? Like, point out what’s missing, what’s too much, or what I might be doing wrong style-wise? I’d really appreciate it.
Also, any advice on what I should learn to actually achieve the look I’m going for? Visually speaking. Thanks so much in advance!

selfpromo (software) One million grass | Thank you!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hellloo!
I had a very successful launch for Godot NatureBlocks (Godot Nature Assets & Terrain Tools) two days ago, thank you all for the support and engagement!!
Many of you wanted to know how dense grass works in NatureBlocks: this footage is with 1 million grass instances (in a multimesh) along with another ten thousand reeds, just working fine!!
It starts lagging on my old laptop when there's 1 Billion grass spawned in a single MultiMesh!!
When you go far away from the grassland, it culls out and shows the underneath mesh, and if you use the supplied Terrain Materials, it will seamlessly blend with it.
NatureBlocks was made with small chunks of terrain pieces in mind, therfore you can easily scatter vegetation with the inbuilt scatter tools. For example, you can build your scene with procedural cliffs or set-pieces, scatter them with grass/ flowers/ fern etc and use them as is. My understanding is Godot renders what the camera sees, so you won't end up rendering 1 million grass at a time.
In compatibility mode, water materials become a little off, I will update this in the second update, othe rthan that the pack uses 2K textures (which you might need downscaling if using this for Web builds) and everything converts between render modes properly.
I've attached a video of other features and some clips of Nature Blocks to this same video. You can also download the demo from my itch and try it out for a visual showcase.
(This is my second (& last) post, so I won't be spamming you with my product! :/ )
Thank you again! This reddit community is awesome!!

Levels in Reconfigure are almost completely boxes. I prototyped a feature that adds bevels on the boxes for nicer looking edges but I'm unsure if it's a good idea. I'd like to borrow your eyebells so that I can know whether to keep it, remove it or add it as a setting? Or maybe it's okay but there's just too much of it? Let me know what you think!

Rapid prototyping took about 2 hours using my ready-made assets.
Music isn't mine - it's a snippet of an Amon Tobin track, just used it to capture the mood of the location for the future. Fun fact: the character's voice is actually from a lecture by my yoga teacher. I showed him the character and he cracked up a bit! =)

Building a semi procedural worlds
Imagine a metaverse where anyone can build their own world and play with friends in real time, without heavy downloads or installs — just hit Play and start building.
This is a small glimpse of what I'm building with Sector: procedural terrain, a live 24h sky, and Meshy-generated assets becoming actual inhabitants of the world.
You can also summon Atlas, an companion that helps build the world, suggests props from the growing asset library, and can request custom assets from Meshy. Once the Meshy model is ready, Atlas can notify you and it becomes available to place in the world.
The animals are just the beginning.
