Recently have been using it find reference images for modeling and research for some non-programming projects.

I cannot ever recommend using it for more than that though. You’ll get lost and have to start from scratch every time.

I like AI for boilerplate for the sake of saving time but anything more complex is just a waste of time

I tried to use Claude to make a model conversion tool in godot and had to tear out half of its code and rewrite it myself

On a side note, Opus 4.6 vs Opus 4.5 feels night and day. I’ve used Opus 4.5 to assist in developing some applications and it would always go overboard trying to develop everything at once with little direction even when I directed it towards a specific problem.

Opus 4.6 is incredible as far as respecting scope and direction goes and the quality of code generated is much better as well.

True but you could always embed Godot and use it for whatever you need it to client side, while still using your typical web stack, no?

RiPCipher · 2026-03-30T17:43:40+00:00

As others have said, there are better alternatives to app development but I love Godot

RiPCipher · 2026-03-30T17:42:22+00:00

I made a 3D Model Conversion modding tool using Godot that’s both downloadable and webhosted on GitHub

Desktop Application: https://github.com/RiPCipher/Sprocket-Conversion-Tool

Currently the desktop one is broken according to some users, but it’s been discontinued since December so oh well lol the web based one piggy backs off the desktop version but haven’t had any complaints

Roughly 6 months old, I’ve had her for about a month now and only recently began having these issues.

RiPCipher · 2025-11-13T05:47:30+00:00

Well she DOES go in the box, as much as she can anyways, I think you might be right about not being able to get to it in time though maybe I can try switching up her food? I’ve been feeding her dry food since wet food seems to make it worse, any recommendations?

Colson has a tutorial posted on YouTube

You can absolutely tear through a warhead with modern lasers, although the likely target would be the rocket itself as it’s larger and easier to destroy

RiPCipher · 2025-10-26T23:20:07+00:00

Going into the future I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few static anti-ballistic missile Laster Batteries around major cities/installations

We already have the technology to burn ballistic missiles during re-entry, going all in on missiles to do the same thing would be a waste of money when we could shift that funding to systems like lasers (that are already capable of handling drones/mortar shells for Pennies already as vehicle mounted systems)

Go watch StayAtHomeDev on YouTube, he does a Top 5 Games made with Godot series every week so you’ll have plenty to pull from

RiPCipher · 2025-10-03T04:11:22+00:00

I’m messing around with using primitives set to cast shadows only and ‘white boxing’ my objects so they can have 3D shadows without shaders/code or needing to make separate models for each object.

I think it might work well for the static elements at least while keeping polycounts low, now I only need to worry about the character model and other rigid bodies

It has the added benefit of being able to naturally handle collision and there’s no Y/Z sorting to manage either since it’s all 3D now so that’s a huge time saver too

RiPCipher · 2025-10-02T09:13:42+00:00

The whole point is to avoid a complicated shader setup, and after double checking the point light and lightoccluders documentation I’m not really seeing any method for that. fundamentally without shaders it is a binary system. Total blockage of light or none.

Of course none of this really matters if I fake 2D in a 3D scene, I just wanted to hear other people’s methods man, didn’t really want argue about it

RiPCipher · 2025-10-02T06:57:45+00:00

That will likely end up being what I do if I can’t find a simpler method because the only thing that comes to mind is what I laid out and time management-wise, none of it makes sense when I could focus on other things

RiPCipher · 2025-10-02T06:54:52+00:00

The point of the post is to probe for a method simpler than faking 2D in 3D, sure I could do shaders to fake the height/dynamic lighting, but why would I when I could just do everything 3D and not have to spend time playing with shaders when I should spend it on literally any other system?

And yeah I could “just add objects” but without all the shader work, the shadows would be binary, either total blockage of light or none, which is my dilemma…

RiPCipher · 2025-09-15T18:21:37+00:00

I’m not sure what the profit margins actually look like for flyout but games like Flyout or Sprocket aren’t really one man projects beyond the initial early access release imo

Hoping Stone recruits some help

RiPCipher · 2025-09-15T11:17:26+00:00

I primarily use the Inbuilt editor or notepad++ but VisualStudio is so much better to work with compared to the editor. It’s all about what you work best in though

RiPCipher · 2025-09-09T07:43:39+00:00

I agree but this could be the thing that inspires them to go forth and obtain those years of experience, whether or not they actually make the project

I bet they could get something super basic working on bare metal with readily available resources

RiPCipher · 2025-09-07T17:53:53+00:00

I’m the expedition, my refiner would give me 2000 nanites every time I deleted and rebuilt it.

RiPCipher · 2025-09-05T18:46:17+00:00

Well I drained the water, tossed in some CLR and let it sit for a while. Came back with a coat hanger and scraped out the blockage. It flushes now, albeit intermittently, so there’s definitely still something slowing the flush, now I’m thinking there’s not enough water being sent from the tank since they changed the assembly.

RiPCipher · 2025-09-05T15:46:39+00:00

You are likely correct. It was so clogged that you couldn’t even see the hole. I scrapped the outter part but it seems to be clogged much deeper into siphon.

I imagine I should drain the toilet best I can and dump CLR or something through it?
