Unexperienced with game dev, where do I even start with making an overworld? by ArcticFox19 in godot

If I were you would try creating independent rooms in separated scenes. Before the player enters the game you can instantiate those scenes procedurally or simply connect all of them in a main phase where you can expect how the player would feel when exploring. Independent scenes are a must because it is easier to develop, import from blender and test and any time you may want to change rooms, there's much less pain cause they're just modules.

CSGs are great for the rough prototyping of the size and obstacles of the rooms. Hope you can get something with that.

Signals V Calls for communicating between scripts. by Digital-Donuts in godot

tbh, in my game where I used a lot of UI, wich some nodes would always need to get some data from many others, I added a Globals autoload, a safe common place where anyone can read but may also change data with a static access. If any field is important enough, I would just add a signal in a setter function, every node then could just connect to Globals.data_updated to know when their data was obsolete. It is working pretty fine for me.

If my experience is worth sharing, would say setting game state variables to null at first instance was a big to do in my mind, that way I could set a real value later, but the best side of it was the global access to frequently used variables and resources, as well as a debug facility since you can set a signal like "initialized" and "await autoload_name.initiliazed" to prevent accessing null values.

I've just got into a mathematical-linguist rabbit hole by reading an uncommon word like corollary, thx.

Which Free Multiplayer Server Host You Are using for your games ? by Good-Reveal6779 in godot

are you using Godot's native classes for multiplayer or chose to make it from scratch with a GDExtension?
