• Star Generation Revisited
  August 16, 2025 by Wandering Door Games#Godot

  One last thing we wanted to experiment with for Satellite Bash was Godot's MultiMeshInstance2D node. Under the right circumstances Godot's MultiMesh system could drastically speed up rendering. So we... Continue reading

  
• Spawn Exclusion Zones
  August 09, 2025 by Wandering Door Games#Godot, #FOSS, #Open-Source

  Previously, we had setup an Area2D to take care of our asteroid and star spawning. We just set up an area we want things to spawn in, pick a random point within that area, and spawn a thing at that po... Continue reading

• Satellite Bash - Out Now!
  July 08, 2025 by Wandering Door Games#Release, #FOSS, #Godot, #Open-Source

  July 08, 2025 by Wandering Door Games#Godot, #Open-Source, #FOSS

  We have random planet generation! Not bad looking for a sphere and a bunch of stretchy ovals. It's basically just picking a random colour for the planet base, a random colour for the planet's land, an... Continue reading
