Multiplayer Tip:
If you want to run two Godot projects at the same time, one as a Server and the second as a Client, to work on your multiplayer game,
then in one of the projects (Server or Client) go to Editor -> Settings -> Network -> Debug and change Remote Port to be different than in a second project.
Now you can just run the Server project and the Client project at the same time and make your game. Enjoy! :)

Thank you for the shoutout! You will find your previous yield timer trick in Dialogic's source code. Thanks for that as well :)

WOW! The "get_node_or_null" made my jaw drop.

The blackhole looks insane! So stoked to seeing that tutorial. And these baby swans are too cute learning to grab food from the ground :3

Thanks for the shout out!! This series is absolute gold by the way

Starting with godot (old unity engine user since 2012) and you channel is awesome. Great and informative! Keep on!

[Zephilwroxt]

Thank you. I'm new to Godot creating my first game. These tips are gold!

[PlayWithFurcifer]

What is something about Godot that you discovered? Let us know here so we can make this series ridicoulisly long!

Much thanks to your team for the shares. Learn a lot of great stuff in these tips. Being aware of all the little nuissances saves time for sure.

Wow, the particles emission shape from a mask and the curves are so cool! I need to try it, thanks a lot for the video :)

[dfa]

Well done!
Nice videos and nice to see you both so passionate about game dev and game design.

Will definitely try and revisit the day/night shading using curves instead of fully coding the function myself like you suggested! Great video as always

[dolphin-sd]

Thanks for sharing, especially the curves came in pretty handy in my case!

[NevoskiStudios]

This is a super helpful series, there's always something new to learn!

[prcs]

Wow, I'm not an expert but I have used the godot editor for a while now and this video STILL showed a bunch of items that I didn't know existed, thank you! Can't think of any specific tips other than if you use the Animation/AnimationPlayer to design a particular effect/scene it can be nearly impossible to get the content of that scene 'out' of the animation. ie: if you try to capture the content of the state of the animation player and say save the state of the animation to a texture or back to a sprite it can be really difficult, maybe even impossible if you use shaders in your animation player.

really liked this video. it was good and informative and really well made! keep it up :)

[Obeah]

I always love the videos! Looking forward to the destined "13 Things We Wish We Knew Earlier"!

0:37 - I could slap myself in the face, when I find a cool tool in the center bar, because I've almost certainly at some point wasted hours searching for exactly that thing in the Inspector (on the right) instead.
