I had a setup with nested CanvasLayer nodes. Toggling the visibility of the root CanvasLayer doesn’t hide any nested CanvasLayer nodes. My solution was to listen to the visibility_changed signal, find any CanvasLayer child nodes, and apply the same visibility to them.

In this 2018 GDC session, Spry Fox‘s Daniel Cook explains how to keep human beings from being treated as interchangeable, disposable, or abusable when designing multiplayer games. If you’re developing, or thinking about developing a multiplayer game, this is a great talk to better understand the challenges of designing multiplayer interactions that result in more …
Just a couple of days ago, Godot 4.0 alpha 17 was announced. Today, Godot Engine 4.0 beta 1 was released. Be sure to check out the announcement. There are lots of improvements across the board; rendering, lighting, physics and navigation, animation, and scripting.
We’re excited about this release, which includes a range of quality-of-life additions and refinements. Drag-and-drop support has been improved with a second strategy: Click-and-release: Simply clicking (and releasing) an item will pick it up. This leverages Godot’s force-drag functionality and approximates the drag-and-drop behavior that games like Valheim and Palworld use in their inventory items. …
