Neonic Complex - Recoil control system

Weapon recoil is independent of each arm. Your arms part influence how much recoil is suppressed, and how quickly it dissipates.

Stronger weapons have higher recoil. If they're very powerful, you'll need good overall stability to keep your boosters from getting stunned.

Carrot Caliber - Parts Resource System

This is a very early look at Bio Mech loadout in Carrot Caliber.

To achieve this level of character customization, I used Godot's resource system to build a data structure that my parts can use.

Every part inherits from the same resource. The characters have a PartsManager node that reads in this data, and applies their appropriate stats and models.

Being able to iterate not only on new weapons in the editor, but bullets, and even movement models (such as weight curves, booster acceleration, etc) enables me to make new parts in a matter of minutes.

Baked Lightmaps Test

Ever since I started making levels for games like TF2 and Garry's Mod, I've always had an appreciation for pre-baked lighting calculations. During the early stages of Spirit Ocean's development, I looked into baked lighting as it'd be the most efficient (and authentic) way to light my scenes. There was just one problem, though.

The light baking in Godot 3.5 was... slow. Not because of the engine itself, but because of how I had my levels set up.

The way baked lightmaps work basically involves layering a new texture on top of the existing level geometry. If the level geometry's texture is too big (caused by parts of the level being too big), the lightmap can't calculate properly. What Qodot (the map file parser) is expecting is for each map piece to be separated into its own layer, so each room/object is its own mesh that can be lit individually.

After figuring that out, its just a matter of lighting entities. Currently I'm using Godot 4's SDFGI exclusively on entities, but I'm reading it can cause a drastic performance hit. Its a real time calculation, and ideally I'd use the prebaked lightmaps instead, but I can't seem to get that working. The water shader is a completely different story.

Prototype of a new level

A test level for Task Force Rabbit.

Added a minigun. I know this isn't how the brrrt works, but its cool.

I also added an arm cannon which will act as a secondary weapon. You can customize its ammo with whatever you'd like.
