godot-proposals VS qodot-plugin

Godot was fine, for the most part, it's a good engine for small games. The main issue was around working together and resolving conflicts with git (Godot isn't really working and constantly kept changing IDs in resource files), and it kept losing data in scenes when the code changed so we had to rebuild things several times. On previous test games we also ran into huge performance issues in the editor when we wanted to do too much work in scenes, so we had to switch to doing most of the work in code.

The worst part was when I had to rip out a bunch of testing code that used @tool for release as it seemed to cause issues when doing a release build. The engine is generally not great when you want to follow clean software engineering (e.g. dependency injection is not possible, I opened a proposal to that end here[1]).

If we had a Mask2D, this would be super easy and straight forward.

So if that's what OP meant, clip_children property won't work. Instead OP needs to use a CanvasGroup parent and the Line2D (with CanvasItem Material in Subtract mode) and TextureRect as siblings, or any of the other methods explained here until we have a Mask2D node.

There is an open proposal to have a compile option for a LibGodot, as a Library https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/6267

Yes, there could be the option to open at least 2 tabs at the same time, when working with scripts. This has probably already been suggested in: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals

I cannot tell exactly where the jitter is from the video, but if it is what I'm thinking of, it is a known issue, see here. There is a proposal to fix this, with tons of discussion here. Try some of the workarounds mentioned in these two links. Game looks great by the way!

It's in the release notes. Here is a link to the pull request, based on this proposal.

I've had a lot of success with Qodot and TrenchBroom for blocking

I know basically nothing about this https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin but perhaps it may be helpful.

Like /u/mistermashu mentioned, check out Qodot + Trenchbroom

I personally use Qodot: https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin since my skill with Blender is just OK, it makes building low-poly interiors very easy, and my game has a retro low-poly look to it.

For reference, here's the add-on link: https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin

There's the Qodot plugin for godot, which lets you import quake maps. I think the workflow would be pretty similar to the of source. Might wanna check that out.

The yellow rectangles are just a Godot MeshInstance with a cube mesh applied and stretched with a yellow grid texture applied to it. The rest of the level was made in TrenchBroom, a Doom / ID engine level editor and then imported and compiled in Godot using Qodot with a gray grid texture applied

Nobody use qodot https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin ? I find it pretty simple. If you don't use it, tell me why and what are the pro of your alternative. Thanks.
