Inventory System 2 Alpha 4 available

March 20, 2025

This release finally uses Godot Engine 4.4. It adds the GGCraftingSystem singleton and updates the GGInteractable2DStrategyCrafting class to use it. The crafting editor nodes now have prefixes, which makes it much easier to search for specific recipe or item nodes in larger crafting libraries.

Some syntactic sugar was added as well. You can now easily iterate over an GGInventory object to iterate over its contents:

var inventory: GGInventory = $GGInventory

for item: GGItemData in inventory:
    if not item: # skip nulls
      continue
    print(item)

The inventory addon now also includes an export plugin, which automatically excludes the editor addons from being included in exported games. This helps reduce the size of the .pck file.

To make interactions easier, the addon now includes a GGInteractable2DStrategyExpression class. This makes it easy to add one-off interaction integrations without having to create a new class.

For additional details, please see the alpha 4 changelog.

    When not all strings are Strings. Detect bugs in your GDscript more easily with static typing

    One of the benefits of working with Godot Engine is that GDScript allows one to operate high level. GDScript is dynamically typed, so not even variable types have to be specified, but I would strongly recommend using static typing wherever possible. It can help with performance but primarily adds clarity when trying to follow the …
