All cool things Godot Engine
Started as a VehicleBody node test, ended up a full F-Zero-style cyberpunk racer -- neon city streets, glowing laser-grid roads, reflective surfaces. Comments: "Please give us the next F-Zero."
Auto-displays the right icon for your defined action, auto-swaps between controller and keyboard, premade pop animations, No Man's Sky style hold prompts, multiple style presets, and full Theme System support. AI-free, clean & commented code with docs. blessedsleepseeker.itch.io/simple-inputs-prompts
Free (CC0) spatial shader for Godot that creates glowing jet engine thrust effects on a cylinder mesh. Noise scrolling, configurable core/edge colors, fresnel edge fading, and vertical fade. godotshaders.com/shader/jet-engine-thrustler-shader/
A shader that manually emits particles within the particle shader itself -- no GDScript required, zero trail gaps even at high velocity. Just parent the node to anything that moves. Code + scene file at godotshaders.com/shader/zero-gap-particle-trail/
Free Godot 4 3D status effects (CC0) by binbun3: aura, light streaks, and particle effects with overlay materials for your models. Noise texture-based, customizable in the inspector. Full version: 18 presets + 18 overlays. Free tier includes all shaders and scripts. binbun3d.itch.io/status-fx
Using nodes for everything in Godot can cause serious performance problems in some situations. The RenderingServer API lets you do a lot more, a lot faster. Firebelley shows a 12x speedup for instantiating and rendering 100+ items within a single frame in this Alchemortis devlog.
Ocean water shader WIP in Godot: Gerstner waves + a looping displacement map baked in Houdini for smaller waves and foam. CPU buoyancy synced by duplicating the get_wave_height() calculation in GDScript -- same parameters, same result. Single grid follows the player; LOD planned next.
Full-body biped foot IK + grounding system for a Godot 4.6 Souls-like. Multi-raycast ground sampling, foot rotation to slope, pelvis compensation with separate up/down weights, spine bending on inclines, and an animation fix-up pass. All via a custom SkeletonModifier3D -- no base Godot IK nodes used.
SpriteStacker V0.3: new integrated drawing tool with palette loading and alignment guides, a slice editor, a full 3D Voxel Editor with glTF export (Blender-ready), and smooth normal shading for renders and spritestacks. ~1 week of dev total. Mostly feature-complete; V1.0 will be a UI cleanup pass. Free at berlinnights.itch.io/sprite-stacker
GoZen -- an open-source minimalist video editor built with Godot (GDScript + C++ via FFmpeg) -- just released v0.9.2-alpha. After 3 years in development, creator Voylin switched from KdenLive 3 weeks ago. Godot News YouTube episodes are now fully edited in GoZen. Smooth playback, fast rendering, keyframes, GPL v3.
