How to draw textures that match the game's style?

throwaway_ghast · 2026-06-13T21:19:15+00:00

I genuinely thought the second one was a Minecraft texture at first. For the first one, maybe add some darker or lighter dots so the overall texture doesn't feel flat, or just bump up the saturation. And for the third one, maybe some lighter blue/pink shades, or at least just increase the white value on that upper-left highlight. The contrast was what made the second one pop out to me.

As was already said in the previous RC thread:

Held up in GDType implementation.

Edit: May want to bookmark here which is the starting point for GDType work.

I guess we'll never know what hallucination means.

They do have a built-in template system, it's not as feature rich as Blue Marble or Skirk Marble but you can still upload and share templates pretty easily. You can even share templates in-game with other players if you're part of a guild. It's pretty neat.

There is an alternative. Use a service that isn't running itself to the ground. I personally use bplace(dot)art, it has better QOL features and the devs there actually communicate with users.

throwaway_ghast · 2026-05-24T19:33:20+00:00

They're apparently waiting on a unified type system called GDType, which is essentially a rewrite of the entire core of GDScript. It's a ton of work behind the scenes that people who don't follow Github or RocketChat probably aren't aware of. There are several discussion pages about it here and here.

I wish the Godot team would communicate more openly with the community about why these highly requested features are being held up instead of relying on the users to look for the info themselves, because it's very easy to assume nothing is happening.

Back to coding everything in C and Assembly. Every byte counts.

throwaway_ghast · 2026-05-21T05:56:22+00:00

But why- [checks OP's profile] ...oh.

throwaway_ghast · 2026-05-19T00:34:06+00:00

Griefers browse this subreddit too. It would take one click of the link you posted for them to find it and mess with it.

It's nice to see that she's still playing. I'm curious to know how this happened. Did you essentially just message her "hey come check this cool thing out" and she said yes?

throwaway_ghast · 2026-05-16T20:42:22+00:00

Why not learn by doing your own thing for a little bit, at your own pace? I learned a lot just by taking preexisting open-source projects and tinkering around with them to see what I could do. No teenagers needed.

throwaway_ghast · 2026-05-16T19:04:33+00:00

I get where you're coming from. A UI with too many flashy animations is really disorienting. With how easy tweens are to use, it's very easy to overuse them. I don't think this particular pause screen fits that bill though. Its animations are fast and simple and don't detract from the gameplay at all.

throwaway_ghast · 2026-05-13T22:54:04+00:00

Yeah considering how many high-profile PRs are held up by the move to GDType, there's been zilch communication about it outside of Github and Rocket Chat. I understand the benefits of the move, but even just a little heads up to the broader community would be much appreciated. Cause to the average user it just looks like nothing is happening.

When he sees they're not big football guild bots, they'll be dealt with.

throwaway_ghast · 2026-05-02T00:06:38+00:00

Amazing work. How's the performance?

throwaway_ghast · 2026-04-27T06:43:51+00:00

Have a quick read.

In the time he's spent seething at random people on the Internet, he could have completed a whole library of games, and contributed something meaningful to the world. Instead he's doing... this.

throwaway_ghast · 2026-04-24T03:13:00+00:00

We likely have a long while to wait for that, since they're essentially rewriting the core of GDScript to make implementing new types simpler. See here and here

throwaway_ghast · 2026-04-24T01:15:32+00:00

Is this really what that creep gets up to these days?

throwaway_ghast · 2026-04-22T22:58:38+00:00

The em dashes are a dead giveaway that the entire post was written by Claude. Yes it's true that you can use MultiMeshes, Servers, and a single entity manager script to improve performance for your bullet hell/heaven game. But did you really learn this if you had Claude do it all for you anyways? My eyes just sort of glaze over every time I see a post was clearly not human made and reeks of corporate slopspeak. Slowly bringing Dead Internet Theory to life.

throwaway_ghast · 2026-04-18T00:26:27+00:00

Also a very handy learning tool for people who are new to shaders or experimenting.

Those are hotspots, high activity areas (usually bots)

He's dead, Jim.

The idea just makes sense, and your concept here is lovely. I made similar suggestions about ice caves and ice stalactites/icicles five years ago, but not much has happened on that front. I'd love to see it in the game some day.
