Well. That's...awesome.

I mean, sure, who doesn't love an awesome catastrophic failure every now and again?

=Article=


When I last closed the project, it closed just fine. Sure, I'd had a few issues during the actual working time, but who doesn't? It's not a dev session without at least a few bugs, and by the end, everything was working or on its way. *indicates previous, promising posts* I had also just spent several hours working on my 2D project without issue.

Open it up last night and get an error for a particular scene that some dependencies needed to be resolved. Okay, fine, Godot just being a little cranky, nothing I haven't dealt with before. Except, it's not getting mad about instantiated nodes, it's mad about everything. Literally everything. Every object, mesh, resource, material, image, font, everything. All of them listed as broken dependencies with no option to "Fix Dependencies" like normal.

Wtf?

Check project folder, yes, everything is there. Everything exists. I can create a new scene and drag in whatever I need, all perfectly functional.

Whatever. Step one, restart engine. No change.

Step two, delete that infernal .godot folder, force reimport everything. No change.

Curiosity strikes. Try to open a completely different scene. Same error pops up.

Open every scene, everything is broken, except, interestingly enough, the opening scene which is primarily 2D.

Open up my 2D project, afraid that it is going to be corrupted, too. Works perfectly fine, no issues, no errors, absolute perfection (also a lot simpler, so...).

Reopen this project, no change, still screwed.

So basically, this is a Godot problem. And I am not eager to go through and rebuild everything from scratch. I did manage to find a few scenes that were left unscathed like the player, the wolf, and a few small items. But I just don't understand what happened or why. Godot just decided to stop recognizing everything.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do at the moment. I expect that updates will be suspended until I do

Art day today. Did a little messing around with the cupboards and some furniture. Got a wine cellar, shower and tub and such. Probably redo appliances, spiff them up a bit Once I get all the major stuff in, then I'll go through and build the levels

Did some more work trying to fix up whatever went wrong and...yeah, let's just cut to the end where it didn't work

Started a new project, made some changes, derped around a little, made this cute little guy

Behold my beautiful canoe!

Our 2024 Advent Calendar has opened! Day 18: @Otis_Le_PoOtis is the Creator of Bondeeā€™s Barnyard and posts updates about their dev journey and their work on the sequel!) Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!

Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

Practicing a song?

Something else?

Tell us in the comments!

Today's accomplishments include a rather smooth state machine, a functioning opening cutscene, and name input. It's not pretty, but there aren't any bugs

Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient

@Miles_Games is a Jolter to Watch! They post great game dev updates about the holiday-themed platformer TEAM SLAY-BELLS! Follow them before the quest ends on December 24 and you'll get Coins!

Did some rough level work in the cave system. Got the long tunnel, and this one is the first puzzle place (if anyone is familiar with the four stairs/doors puzzle in Paper Mario 2, this is going to be very similar).
