A promotional image for the Women's Day Sale on Steam. In the top left corner is an image of the Adaptory logo on an illustration of explorers working in a cave. The majority of the rest of the image is a gorgeous illustration of an adventurer in a mystical location, a glint in their hand interacting with a beautiful entity or possibly statue. The text on the image reads "Women's Day Sale; games by women-led studios. Hosted on Steam. March 6th to 15th. Organized by Wings."

Would love more organizational tools, colors, folder tags, file filters, better search etc. (JetBrains-like file tree)

To give one specific example, one minor annoyance is the inconsistent coloring of folders.

Attached is two "Open a File" modals, one with colors, one without. πŸ™ƒ

Recently I got invited to join the new Godot UX team. When I have time I will be helping testing editor PRs and make Godot more usable for everyone.

What are some of the most annoying things about Godot UI/UX that you think need attention?

In #Godot you can use the Line2D node as a quick in-editor tool.

Physics method intersect_point() fails detections when the node is inside the CanvasLayer Β· Issue #108711 Β· godotengine/godot Tested versions Godot v4.4.stable.official[4c311cb] System information Windows 10 - Godot v4.4.stable.official[4c311cb] Issue description When attempt to use intersect_point() to detect a collision...

Current conclusion:

It's a very unexpected behavior with Godot's physics point intersections in relation to subviewports. Making it a 2x2 shape query fixed the issue.

This is the most bizarre bug I have ever experienced.

Regardless of what blocking item is placed, the player phases through without issue.

Kinda love it though.

Made a penguin staff twirling motor task. Most of the time, the staff is actually in free spin, and not being held (see slow-mo segment). It's also not animated - it uses real physics (see end). 🐧
