Welcome to the Godot In Game Building System! This project is a comprehensive starter kit designed for creating building simulation games(or just games with building mechanic) in Godot 4. It includes both grid-based and free-form building features, making it versatile for different types of building gameplay. The system is equipped with a save/load functionality, basic UI for menus and building controls, and is ready to be expanded or customized for your own unique game.
To get started with Building System:
The BuildingSystem considers objects to have a pivot point at the center.
The best approach to importing assets is to create a scene for each imported model and create a Node3D parent. This way, you can easily position the object, adjust the scale, etc., without affecting the system.
Bonus! There is an import script
import_objects.gd
that will do just that and also create a resource for it.
For more detailed information about the classes and methods in the system, refer to the GodotInGameBuildingSystem.xml documentation file.
Why these features and where is that one? (and similar questions)
One of the most challenging aspects was determining the scope. I aimed to establish a common foundation applicable across multiple game types. Given that features would significantly diverge depending on the game type, I decided to stop at a point that I believe serves as a common ground.
Did you use AI (such as Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.)?
Yes, I utilized AI to correct grammar and spelling errors, as I am not a native English speaker. Additionally, I used it to generate an icon for the Asset Store. That's all.
Are there plans for a GDScript version?
Yes, I am currently working on developing a GDScript version.
Contributions are what make the open-source community such a fantastic place to learn, inspire, and create. Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated.
