StayAtHomeDev - Making Children of Kronos

What are we doing y'all? This constant push for fidelity and realism is going to destroy the industry. It can't be maintained and the returns are diminishing. Fidelity != Fun

The node based editor. The effects and workflow were impressive.

This is PopcornFX, a 3rd party VFX tool. Godot Engine plugin coming soon. - Custom plugin run, not tied to Godot particle system - Exposed parameters in engine - Works with Godot materials - Node based editor A whole new way to create particle effects for Godot.

There was also some hinting at supporting raytracing for some upcoming Godot games....

NVIDIA created a ray tracing fork of Godot. Hot off the presses. github.com/NVIDIA-RTX/god…

@BLAHBLEHBLAH_1 @corysimmons123 That was the idea...it's MIT so it can be used, copied, adjusted into a PR on its own

@corysimmons123 @StayAtHomeDev Because it makes no sense to force a bunch of untested features into an existing open source project from a large corporation when the maintainers could also easily deny them Once the features are fleshed out, it may be feasible to merge, or it may be preferable to be separate

@SubleBoom It's got a ton of changes to the renderer so they kept it separate I believe.

@StayAtHomeDev very cool! but why not make a pr on the original repo?

@buttface_9000 Yeah the dev pushed the repo like 4 hours ago.

@StayAtHomeDev Oh this is like HOT hot off the press, nice, ty!

@buttface_9000 My very poor one. But you can grab the fork and test

@StayAtHomeDev Any videos or screenshots?

Any guesses on how much it costs to buy one (1) banana at #GDC2026?

@dioyun I do too...

@StayAtHomeDev Get the feeling that custom nav mesh is in your future

Two early enemies in Children of Kronos, a fast mining spider with a leap attack and a stationary turret. Both utilize #GodotEngine recent IK feature improvements. The spiders move along the nav mesh and the legs animate procedurally. Should I have them walk on walls too?

Headed to GDC for the rest of the week. Missed the Godot roundtable but can't wait to dive in. Any other Godot people going?

@shadesofsilver We'll see what the AI wars bring. Lots of uncharted territory for sure

@StayAtHomeDev I really want the wider industry to adopt Godot the same way they did Unity 15 years ago. Not sure even Slay the Spire 2 is enough to make that happen though. They got all these little nitpicks & they have no idea what they're missing.

Hey AAA...

Let this sink in... A #GodotEngine game is the top selling game in the world right now.

I'm so happy I never have to open Adobe again #materialmaker
