In this devlog, Iāll cover the creation of the main menu, and more specifically, how i made the game title. Menu Buttons First off, we have to add a few buttons that the user can press to start and quit the game . Godot makes this easy with the Button node. All we have to do is add a few of these nodes inside a VBoxContainer and optionally, create a theme for them. For this project, I decided to create a very simple theme that uses the BetterVCR font and highlights the button if itās hovered/focused. The last thing that I did was make the buttons ārecoilā when theyāre pressed. This can be done by scaling the button down when itās pressed and adding a tween to scale it back up when itās released: var tween : Tween button . button_down . connect ( func () -> void : # Scale the button down button . offset_transform_scale = Vector2 ( 0.95 , 0.95 ) ) button . button_up . connect ( func () -> void : tween = get_tree (). create_tween () # Tween the button's scale to its original value tween . tween_property ( button , \" offset_transform_scale \" , Vector2 ( 1 , 1 ), 1 ) The Game Title Instead of using a simple label for the game title in the main menu, I decided to create a construct one from multiple ColorRect nodes. I was inspired by this image i found online. To implement this, we first have to describe the shape of each letter. I decided to do this with nested arrays like so, where 0 represents an empty cell and 1 represents the opposite. # Example for the letter B const B : Array [ Array ] = [ [ 1 , 1 , 0 ], [ 1 , 0 , 1 ], [ 1 , 1 , 0 ], [ 1 , 0 , 1 ], [ 1 , 1 , 0 ] ] We can then store each letter in another array. The cells in the reference picture change colors each row, so we also have to define those colors in another array: const letters : Array = [ B , R , E , A , K , O , U , T ] const colors : Array [ Color ] = [ Color . ORANGE , Color . BLUE , Color . GREEN , Color . YELLOW , Color . RED ] Finally, we just have to iterate through the letters array and instantiate a ColorRect when letter[row] [col] == 1 : for i : int in range ( 0 , letters . size ()): var letter : Array [ Array ] = letters [ i ] for row : int in range ( 0 , letter . size ()): for col : int in range ( 0 , letter [ row ]. size ()): if letter [ row ][ col ] == 1 : # Instantiate the colorRect and modify its position based on the selected cell size and the distance between each letter The end result can be seen in the uploaded picture Other New Features: Hereās all the other noteworthy features Iāve added since the last devlog: Added a proper way of switching levels when the player has destroyed all the blocksAdded a hit effect to the blocks when theyāre hit by the ball Until next Time!"}, {"post_id": 69968, "ts": "2026-09-18T04:25:26Z", "hours": 10.0681, "text": "Devlog #3: Transitions! Hi again! The game finally has a transition system to make scene-switching look nicer. This was done by creating a shader thatās applied to a ColorRect node. The first shader i made took in a progress variable ranging from 0 to 1, which tells it how far along the transition itās supposed to be. For a very simple slide transition, we only have to make the ColorRect black if the pixelās UVās x component is smaller than progress : void fragment () { if ( UV . x < progress ) { COLOR = vec4 ( 0 , 0 , 0 , 1 ); } } However, since I didnāt want to create a separate shader to end the Transition, I decided to include two progress variables: startProgress and endProgress , which can then be used to apply the shader to a section of the ColorRect like so: void fragment () { if ( UV . x < startProgress && UV . x > endProgress ) { COLOR = vec4 ( 0 , 0 , 0 , 1 ); } else { COLOR = vec4 ( 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 ); } } The timing of the transition itself is handled using Godotās tweens in a singleton.

The result can be seen in the attached file. Other new features The game now has a very simple main menu The player has the ability to restart the game when the they lose. Until next time!
Devlog 4: Adding a Main Menu Hello again! In this devlog, Iāll cover the creation of the main menu, and more specifically, how i made the game title. Menu Buttons First off, we have to add a few buttons that the user can press to start and quit the game . Godot makes this easy with the Button node. All we have to do is add a few of these nodes inside a VBoxContainer and optionally, create a theme for them. For this project, I decided to create a very simple theme that uses the BetterVCR font and highlights the button if itās hovered/focused. The last thing that I did was make the buttons ārecoilā when theyāre pressed. This can be done by scaling the button down when itās pressed and adding a tween to scale it back up when itās released: var tween : Tween button . button_down . connect ( func () -> void : # Scale the button down button . offset_transform_scale = Vector2 ( 0.95 , 0.95 ) ) button . button_up . connect ( func () -> void : tween = get_tree (). create_tween () # Tween the button's scale to its original value tween . tween_property ( button , " offset_transform_scale " , Vector2 ( 1 , 1 ), 1 ) The Game Title Instead of using a simple label for the game title in the main menu, I decided to create a construct one from multiple ColorRect nodes. I was inspired by this image i found online. To implement this, we first have to describe the shape of each letter. I decided to do this with nested arrays like so, where 0 represents an empty cell and 1 represents the opposite. # Example for the letter B const B : Array [ Array ] = [ [ 1 , 1 , 0 ], [ 1 , 0 , 1 ], [ 1 , 1 , 0 ], [ 1 , 0 , 1 ], [ 1 , 1 , 0 ] ] We can then store each letter in another array. The cells in the reference picture change colors each row, so we also have to define those colors in another array: const letters : Array = [ B , R , E , A , K , O , U , T ] const colors : Array [ Color ] = [ Color . ORANGE , Color . BLUE , Color . GREEN , Color . YELLOW , Color . RED ] Finally, we just have to iterate through the letters array and instantiate a ColorRect when letter[row] [col] == 1 : for i : int in range ( 0 , letters . size ()): var letter : Array [ Array ] = letters [ i ] for row : int in range ( 0 , letter . size ()): for col : int in range ( 0 , letter [ row ]. size ()): if letter [ row ][ col ] == 1 : # Instantiate the colorRect and modify its position based on the selected cell size and the distance between each letter The end result can be seen in the uploaded picture Other New Features: Hereās all the other noteworthy features Iāve added since the last devlog: Added a proper way of switching levels when the player has destroyed all the blocksAdded a hit effect to the blocks when theyāre hit by the ball Until next Time!...

DevLog #1 Iām making a selfhostable system that is able to generate custom matches of Counter Strike 2 in docker containers. The idea is to make a fully fledged web UI to interact with the servers, similar to XPlay. At the moment iāve made a python file that is able to interact with the docker containers and FastAPI. Next time i should probably start with documenting the code and ReadMeās, start the webUI and make the variable names more consistant.
Dev Log #2 Small log, made a better README, normalized all the important code to english and documented every function and API endpoint
DevLog #3 I refactored the code, removed some unused scripts and files, also started the web UI (heavily vibecoded, I really hate web design) to start and delete servers, it also shows the statuses of the matches, i should probably add more of the match insight, that will be interesting given that Steam nor the server give any API endpoint so i will have to parse everything from the console. I also encountered some problems with the game updating awfully slow, I should test using SteamCMD with an account and not with anonymous.

Final Additions: I finished up the last three applications: the music player, notes, and gallery.

I realized I didnāt enjoy it as much as Iād hoped, and I found myself working on other projects instead. I think it was mainly my lack of creativity and the repetitiveness of the site, and realizing I didnāt have enough prior coding knowledge to achieve some of the things I wanted to build. School was also a huge factor, as I hadnāt anticipated getting so busy in just a few weeks. I kind of underestimated how much free time Iād have to work on side projects in the first place.

Itās not completely unusable, but I donāt ever see myself using it in an urgent situation (lol) Challenges: I mentioned it before on a previous devlog, but I was running out of motivation to continue with this project near the end. I realized I didnāt enjoy it as much as Iād hoped, and I found myself working on other projects instead. I think it was mainly my lack of creativity and the repetitiveness of the site, and realizing I didnāt have enough prior coding knowledge to achieve some of the things I wanted to build. School was also a huge factor, as I hadnāt anticipated getting so busy in just a few weeks. I kind of underestimated how much free time Iād have to work on side projects in the first place. In conclusion, Iām glad that my biggest project for Stardance is finally complete, and I can get my certificate for 30 hours of approved work!

What I made: HOLLOW is a short first-person survival horror game in Godot 4, inspired by Puppet Combo games and Granny. Youāre stuck in a house with a monster wandering the halls, and you have to explore, find items, and solve a chain of puzzles to escape. No weapons, so your only options are hiding and running. What was challenging: the enemy AI, by far. For a long time it ignored me completely, even when I stood right in front of it. It turned out my playerās camera and body were offset 115 units from where the game thought I was, so the monster was staring at an empty spot across the room. I also fought navigation meshes floating above the floor, imported 3D models launching themselves into the sky because of hidden built-in colliders, and getting the web build under itch.ioās size limit (527 MB to 465 MB by shrinking textures). What Iām proud of: the monster actually feels like itās hunting you. It wanders, chases you when it spots you, keeps following you around corners, and searches the area after it loses you. I also built one reusable puzzle system that runs almost every puzzle in the game, plus a caged creature that asks you for things and reacts with its own animations. Tho it still looks kinda silly sometimes because it spins a bit or is kinda dumb. but thats good for the player!! Lol. How to test it: play in the browser or download for Windows/Mac. WASD move Ā· Shift sprint Ā· C crouch Ā· E interact / pick up / use Ā· V toggle the VHS filter Look at objects to get hints, and press E while holding the right item to use it. You get 5 hits per life and 3 lives. Downloads arenāt code-signed. On Windows click More info > Run anyway; on Mac right-click > Open. Happy Halloween, and I hope you enjoy it!!!", "repo": "https://github.com/magnolia345/StarDance-Hallow", "demo": "https://magnoliaggogog.itch.io/hallow"}]...

For example, this cabinet opens, but Iām planning on adding different puzzles which isnāt as simple as opening a drawer. Issues: Since the hitbox (or CollisionShape3D in Godot) is over the whole cabinet, it opens all the drawers. I guess that makes it easier for the player lmao. But if I wanted to make it over each drawer, then I wouldāve had to make smaller hitboxes and arranged them properly. I accidentally made this cabinet TOO TALL T-T. So I wonder how the player will get up thereā¦ (totally on purpose haha) It limits which models I could take from online.

Uhhh which door is which againā¦. absolute monstrosity right nowā¦ Credit for sofa below: ātrashy backyard sofaā ( https://skfb.ly/pHVBH ) by Schmoldt5000 is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

Hallow Continued - MECHANICS ~ Whatās been going on Still working on decorating. Aesthetics are important oookkk? Been working on mechanics, such as interacting. Since these models are from online, I have to resize everything and also make a function so they can be interacted with. How it works: basically you just have to be close enough to some object, then press āEā to interact with the object, which then causes some change. For example, this cabinet opens, but Iām planning on adding different puzzles which isnāt as simple as opening a drawer. Issues: Since the hitbox (or CollisionShape3D in Godot) is over the whole cabinet, it opens all the drawers. I guess that makes it easier for the player lmao. But if I wanted to make it over each drawer, then I wouldāve had to make smaller hitboxes and arranged them properly. I accidentally made this cabinet TOO TALL T-T. So I wonder how the player will get up thereā¦ (totally on purpose haha) It limits which models I could take from online. A lot of models are not separated into parts (eg drawer1 is attached permanently to drawer2), meaning they canāt actually open. I realized this half way thru scavenging. :( Also started on the enemy AI stuff, but itās not that done yet. ~ Plan Continue decorating, making them interactable. I have also made a whole map of the layout and the fun puzzles Iām planning to put in. I would share it but spoilersā¦ :) Credit for cabinet below: Bedside table: āBedside table oldā ( https://skfb.ly/owuAQ ) by Nollien is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ ).

** PARKOUR ** Still decorating. but im so proud of myself for making this little parkour. the ladder was so hard to get the player to actually get on T-T
Still decoratingā¦ Sometimes the things you look the hardest forā¦ Is just in plain sightā¦ I also added in the enemy. Dw it wonāt be a cubicle forever.
PLAYGROUND - and pick up I added this cool playground into the game, where you can actually go inside and even slide down the slide. Peak childhood nostalgia :) You can also now pick up items and drop them realistically, affected by gravity. Iām holding a hammer in this image! I think the game is coming along well. Slowlyā¦ AHhhh gotta pick up the pace.
WE GOT CABINETS ~ Happy Spooky-Season!! HORROR SEASON + whats up Player can finally open doors- nope not doors, those are harder to implement than cabinets. But then isnāt a door literally just a big cabinet? #showerthoughts Implementation Basically, interact āEā asks whether the raycast, or the āimaginary lineā shot out the player though the red dot in the center, hits the object. If the player is standing close enough and they press E, it turns the door 90 degrees about the side aixs. It took a bit to implement bc I kept MESSING UP what the raycast would collid with. Plus this cabinet is like A MILLION different pieces. it legit takes 10 seconds to scroll through everything. I mean ig bro. Future Do this to like all the other cabinets (T-T), fix enemy (idk why its glitching), implement puzzles. AND ADD HALLOWEEN EASTER EGGS! (or are they called Halloween Eggs bc its not rlly easterā¦ #showerthoughtsagainā¦ haha)
GUMBALLS ~ whats up FINALLY finished decorating?? Okay, so I got the enemy to work - FOR LIKE 5 SECONDS - before i broke it again T-T. IDEK what I did bruh. Implementation So I baked a navigationmesh which is all the places the enemy can go (eg mostly where the player can go mostly) and then successfully (for a while at least) made it move randomly and chase the player when it crossed its line of view. It would even hit the player and make a bloody screen show up. BUT NOW IT DOESNāT WORK. HUhhh?? It doesnāt even move at all. So comes debugging: I integrated each step one by one instead of working on the code for like 5 hours and then testing it. Hopefully I can get this thing to work ugh. (My desc are lwk bad here but its because Im raging) Future PUZZLES. OMG I have so many ideas and so little timeeee. anyway, hereās this gumball machine which might be my favorite thing ever. toodles
FAV ROOM + glow in the dark pumpkins?? ~ whats up so i got the enemy to work. thank god. PLUS I GOT MY FAVORITE-ST ROOM EVER MADE!! Implementation/fix for enemy Looping btw 2 rooms: wander code picked farthest random point, so movement was lwk sporadic and weird. So we switched to getting the first valid point randomly generated instead. Walked off into the void: bc the navigationmesh or where it can roam WAS PARTIALLY OUTSIDE. bruh. so just resized the NM Never saw me or chased: LMAO this was so funny. So apparently my body was like 115 WHOLE-STINKING units away from where the code thought I was.. so easy fix, but bruh. Lost me at corners when i sharp turned: chase_memory now is for keeping track of position even after losing sight. Also added the hit screen, which is like a little bit of blood, for funsies THE ROOM OMGGOGMG - this was so heavily inspired (not copiedā¦ cuz yk i got crates here) by that one bunker room in Stay Out of the House by PUPPETCOMBO (omg peakkk). itās a maze in there. check out the 2nd image! Future PUZZLES. OMG (still) I have so many ideas and so little timeeee. PS: wanted to fit all images in one frame. (yea okay syre bvro)
puzzles? how cool is this? ~ whats up started puzzles, hopefully gonna finish very soon? implementation Most of my puzzles involve doing something, then something else happens (eg appearing vs disappearing). So I just made a script and attached it to certain places where objects are supposed to be inter-actable with. more detailed desc later Future finish the puzzles oof
ALMOST DONENNE ~ whats up DONE WITH ALL PUZZLES. LETTS GOOO implementation SO continuation from previous post - implementation of the puzzles Lots of puzzles, eg the lock to the exit, use the same mechanic, and I attach the same script where I input different things in the Inspector. Each Object X which takes Object Y leads to Event Z happening. Explaining the below image: I can attach the same script of code to different things. So obviously, Object X (where i attach the script) is the door in this case; Object Y is the key; and Event Z is the lock hiding. Sometimes the Event is something like dropping loot, which is making something visible and the mode switches from disabled to inherit at the bottom in Process. Future LITERALLY SO CLOSE TO SHIPPING FEFHEFR. maybe tonightā¦ Just last decorations, death screen (oh yea, the enemy is so peakkkkkā¦ reveal later) See you soon!
Literally done. Finished decorating; adding end screens; making itch.io page Lazy lmaoā¦ but i js spent like 5 hours straight doing stuff (besides coding like making the readme actually read-ABLE lmao) BRUH ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
Ships:
HOLLOW - 3D, 1st POV Retro (optional) Horror Game!! What I made: HOLLOW is a short first-person survival horror game in Godot 4, inspired by Puppet Combo games and Granny. Youāre stuck in a house with a monster wandering the halls, and you have to explore, find items, and solve a chain of puzzles to escape. No weapons, so your only options are hiding and running. What was challenging: the enemy AI, by far. For a long time it ignored me completely, even when I stood right in front of it. It turned out my playerās camera and body were offset 115 units from where the game thought I was, so the monster was staring at an empty spot across the room. I also fought navigation meshes floating above the floor, imported 3D models launching themselves into the sky because of hidden built-in colliders, and getting the web build under itch.ioās size limit (527 MB to 465 MB by shrinking textures). What Iām proud of: the monster actually feels like itās hunting you. It wanders, chases you when it spots you, keeps following you around corners, and searches the area after it loses you. I also built one reusable puzzle system that runs almost every puzzle in the game, plus a caged creature that asks you for things and reacts with its own animations. Tho it still looks kinda silly sometimes because it spins a bit or is kinda dumb. but thats good for the player!! Lol. How to test it: play in the browser or download for Windows/Mac. WASD move Ā· Shift sprint Ā· C crouch Ā· E interact / pick up / use Ā· V toggle the VHS filter Look at objects to get hints, and press E while holding the right item to use it. You get 5 hits per life and 3 lives. Downloads arenāt code-signed. On Windows click More info > Run anyway; on Mac right-click > Open. Happy Halloween, and I hope you enjoy it!!!...
