  • VS Code Implementation

    Godot’s built-in script editor gets the job done, but VS Code brings more features to the table—better autocomplete, debugging, and real-time collaboration. Now, all scripts open in VS Code by default, with full IntelliSense, LSP (Language Server Protocol) support, and remote pair programming.

    Pros of VS Code Migration:

    Smarter Autocomplete & Debugging – Better type hints, function suggestions, and inline documentation

    Pair Programming Support – Real-time collaboration for faster problem-solving

    More Control Over Extensions – Custom tools, themes, and workflows

    Cons & Trade-offs:

    Slower Iteration – Godot’s built-in editor updates the running instance instantly, while VS Code requires a full restart to apply changes

    No Drag-and-Drop for Nodes – The Godot editor lets you drag nodes directly into scripts; VS Code doesn’t

    Context Switching – Jumping between Godot and VS Code breaks some of the integrated workflow benefits

    For now, VS Code feels like the better tool for scripting, but if Godot’s built-in editor evolves, that could change. We’ll see if the advantages hold up over time or if the convenience of Godot’s native workflow pulls us back.

    Technical Challenges

    • Resolving pathing issues between VS Code and Godot
    • Fine-tuning LSP settings for best performance
    • Ensuring seamless debugging without breaking the workflow

    Next Steps

    • Expand remote collaboration tools
    • Automate VS Code extension setup for new environments

    Lore

    Nobody fights alone. In this conflict, teamwork can overcome individual skill. Whether in the field or the codebase, working together is the only way forward.


  • Secure Networking Implementation

    A key part of getting the build production-ready is secure multiplayer. With encrypted connections, authentication, and automated integrity checks, players can focus on the fight without worrying about outside interference. No man-in-the-middle attacks, no intercepted traffic, no malicious code sneaking in with your packets. Just a secure, stable battlefield.

    Reinforced Infrastructure

    • End-to-end encryption for all multiplayer traffic
    • SSL-secured connections for matchmaking and communication
    • Automated monitoring and integrity checks
    • Secure profile authentication for game and (future) companion app

    Data Protection

    • HTTPS ensures encrypted player data in transit
    • Continuous security updates and maintenance routines
    • Reinforced server-side access restriction

    Lore

    Advancements in planetary defense doesn’t only consist of armies of machines, arsenals of devastating weapons, and latticed shielding. The sub-orbital defense platforms represent walls of encrypted data, protecting our forces from sabotage before the first shot is even fired. Every layer of security fortifies operations and obscures the vision of our adversaries.
