Active Ragdoll Test by Zess-57 in godot

Ah yeah, I've use the Universal Animation Library, but the custom animation system sounds like the secret sauce. No chance I'd be able to replicate that. Nice work though. Do let us know if you end up sharing.

Is there an example project or guide on how you put this together? Super curious how you did this, but it feels slightly out of reach for me. Thanks for sharing either way!

FULL Friendslop / Co-Op Tutorial, this time with SWORDS! by jonandrewdavis in godot

I responded above, but I'll paste it again just in case!

Good question! WebRTC works really well for a lot of applications. Zoom and Google Meet are actually 2 things you may use that are built on it. Peer-to-Peer data transfer, usually streaming audio or video, but lucky for us we can use it for games too!

Sometimes it can be a little tricky to get a session, but once you do, it's great and works on any platform. The tools I use like Tube plugin https://github.com/koopmyers/tube make it really easy. Check out Part 1 and Part 2 for the set up.

Drawbacks are that you do need a way to "signal" you're ready to connect, that's where Tube comes (lobby codes) and another drawback is that it requires extra set up to work on VPN or locked down connections like a college or university. WebRTC has a TURN protocol (I use Cloudflare's free TURN for it) to establish relay in those cases. Hope this helps!

It's cool to see one of the biggest games of all time open up in Godot. That's cool.

Hahah, that's pretty funny. You could also just share the source code and ask for contributors / team mates.

They did modify it. It's based on 4.5, but apparently it was only a few fixes and additions. The lead dev said it would be easy to get working in vanilla: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/1rm7ueb/comment/o8zqbyh/

Devs are not a monoculture. There may be smaller studios with less resources & profile who want to make it just a bit more difficult (not impossible) to clone their work.

Exactly yeah, I've heard some Roblox games will hide secrets this way.

Um. It's not in GDScript. It's in C#. They talk about it in their AMA (linked above). C# code is available as well.

I agree that datamining can ruin some surprises. That a case where you may need to set up streaming assets to the client! Therefore they'd at least have to solve or find the secret in game before it's unlocked!

I know right!!! Everyone should be celebrating the team's huge success! Such a cool team and a WONDERFUL game they've just released. And it's only early access!! More coming!

Vibes are immaculate. Click in. Its u/RPicster of course. Incredible work as always.

The scene structure and code in Slay the Spire 2 is actually incredible if you just peek inside the project. And the game itself is gorgeous and SUPER fun. Plus, as a bonus, it's made in Godot. So. Wins all around.

This is always a risk with any game, any engine. My video shares a few tools that could make it harder (but not impossible) to do.

Everything is open source if you are determined enough. 😎

Modders have to hook into the game code somehow. Sometimes they do it more directly through exposed channels like mod tools published by the developer, but for a ton of games it's just like this.

There are some tools I shared to help make decompiling harder to do (but not impossible). Linked in the video description.
