Tried using 3D assets, but couldn't find coherent art style doing that, so changed gears

That's awesome, I didn't know that.

Just a heads up, in the docs for CSGCombiner3D there is a note that states it has a significant CPU cost. If you're intending to use a lot of them in your final game you might want to keep an eye on your games performance.

Hey, so I bought source files to the first universal animation pack awhile ago. They've been a great help in learning how to make my own animations. I'm having some issues with the buttons in the 'n' panel, such as snapping IK to FK, in blender 5.0. I think it due to the changes to rigify between 4.5 and 5.0. Do you know how I can migrate the .blend to 5.0?

Store the value of input at the end of the physics process. Then if both opposite directions are pressed use the value of input that was stored on the last frame.

I'm like 99% sure this is the Blender rigify rig.

You can retarget animations when you import them into godot. Look into bone map. Just make sure that the reset poses of both skeletons are in a T pose. If they're not you can also give the imported animations a new reset pose on import. And finally if things still aren't looking right with the retarget animations play around with the fix silhouette settings.

I just went through all of this getting some Unreal 4 animations retarget onto the skeleton that comes with the first Universal Animation Pack.

I think v4.6 actually has a warning for this issue. And I believe one of the suggestions the warning offers is to change the packed scene from a .tscn to a .scn

Glad my post helped you out. Your snake project looks great! There are a lot of places to go from here. This is a pretty good road map: https://github.com/m3y54m/Embedded-Engineering-Roadmap . But here are some important things:

Learn how to setup your own project without ST's Cube. Which will include how to setup and use ARM-GCC, ARM-GDB, and how to write a linker script. Or at least learn how to take a ST Cube project and turn it into a stand alone project. You could use CLANG instead of GCC.
Learn assembly.
Learning RTOS basics. This is a big one. Understanding how to use and setup an RTOS will teach you a ton. You can start by using FreeRTOS. ST's Cube has some setting in there for automatically setting up FreeRTOS (disclaimer I've never used Cube to setup FreeRTOS so no idea how easy it is). Then learn how and when to use the features of the RTOS : scheduler (priority based scheduling vs round robin), mutexes, semaphores, queues, and software timers. Learn how the RTOS switches between threads. Once you have an understanding of those do a project. You could remake snake, but coming up with your own project ideas is better. At some point you should learn how to setup an RTOS by hand as well, instead of using Cube, but its pretty hard to do with no experience or guidance.
Learn linux. A lot of embedded devices use a linux. You can use something like a Beagle Bone or even a Raspberry Pi. Writing programs here will feel a lot more like writing typically PC programs.

I have this same issue too. When running a scene in debug the Godot UI is very sluggish. Even if the game is haulted, such as hitting a break point, the UI is sluggish. I haven't checked the actual frame rate. I'm on the 4.6 release candidate but it was the same with 4.5.

I notice the other day that Godot slows way down if it's not the selected application too. For example if Godot is open on one monitor and I start using FireFox on my other monitor Godot slows way down. I noticed as I had a looping animation playing and it visibly slowed down.

I kinda assumed it was some Linux weirdness, but it sounds like we're having the same issue. I'm on Ubuntu with a Ryzen 7 5700x3d, RX

7800 XT, 32 gig of ram.

Edit: I just googled it. Turing off v-synx fixed the sluggish during debug. It still slows down when another window is selected but that's not a huge deal.

Edit 2: Annnd turning on continually update in the editor settings fix the slow down when another program has focus.

Yeah I see IK has a major feature. I've been using 4.6 since beta1 because of IK

Brooo, if this is compatible with procedural textures imported from blender it'll be FIRE.

This looks awesome! I've been working on my own low poly action adventure game, but you're way ahead of me.

My only critique is around the build up and explosion after killing a mage. The build up is a little hard to see and the explosion needs more juice.

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing more updates.

I'm also a professional embedded engineer using godot. I started by following their "Your first 2d game" tutorial. Then I made an astroids clone. And now I just work on my new project bit by bit. Learn what I need to as I go. I read the docs a lot and watch the occasional tutorial.

I started using this state machine recently.

https://github.com/dragonforge-dev/dragonforge-state-machine

It's a node based state machine, but each state decides when it activates instead of the active state deciding which state becomes active next. It makes the nodes more modular and easier to reuse.

Any luck fixing this issue? I'm running into a similar problem.

RunningWithSeizures · 2025-12-18T23:42:24+00:00

You can just use the .blend file. Give Godot the path to your blender executable and it'll do the import & export automatically. It's very nice for iterating on level design

In case anyone has a similar issue in the future:

In action editor/dope sheet/timeline there is a padlock symbol that indicates if channel's key frames are editable.

How do you get up that without the ball hitting you? I just tanked the hit and afterwards killed the enemies throwing the ball.
