This post is somehow related with the post of last year. One thing is annoying when you edit a large amount of resources (typically the case when you make a RPG): Every time you add an enum to an autoload, you have to reload the project so it reload the definition. This can get pretty grating after a while. Similarly you had no way to add entries to a dynamic database and this being reflected within Godot Editor.

I often see people asking online how to load resources or scenes that are not already loaded by the main scene or the script you’re running. The first answer I see is dumping everything in an autoload. This works and it’s fine. It’s a valid approach. However you will always have whatever you put in your autoload in memory at all times, and maybe you don’t want that. What I usually do, is defining a loader per type of resources or scene that I need to be shared across my codebase.

I’m working on a small game called Goblin Dungeon. The environment will be 3D with 2D billboarded sprites, like Paper Mario. There should have been a video here but your browser does not seem to support it. Unlike most tile-based dungeon crawlers, I will have elevation. That means you will be able to take stairs, fall, jump, fly, and of course fall into pits. To make the level design more interesting, I wanted the player to be able to fall great distances without breaking their knees.

Overworked during his life, he takes it easy in the afterlife. There should have been a video here but your browser does not seem to support it. I have a sort of nice pipeline to draw my assets: I drew it using Clip Studio Paint.

I spend most of time lately programming my games, but lately, in preparation for a trip to Japan, I started learning Japanese. There is this set of videos about Japan grammar that are well thought and presented, however, it’s creator passed away recently. Now, I am not sure what will happens to the videos. There is this saying that once something is on internet, it never dissapear, but it’s simply untrue.
