godot-valet 

FOR GODOT DEVELOPERS ONLY

[v0.11.0] - Stable

An open source tool (written in Godot w/gdscript)

• Project Manager:
  • Acts as a project manager supporting 3.x, 4.x and all future releases in one place. 
    
• Package & Deploy:
  • Click a button to build & zip all your packages.
  • Click a button to upload your packages
• Obfuscation Options (Beta)
  • Functions 
  • Variables
  • Comments (removes)
  • Note: This feature is in early development. Currently designed to work with my projects/syntax. Will require substantial effort to get working with your projects. I'm working on improving handling of other projects/syntax as time allows. 
• File Explorer (Beta)
  • Quickly navigate and filter for images you want to import into a project.
  • Supports fast/seamless navigations through zip files
  • Provides quick view with panning and zooming
  • In general, it should speed things up when you want to go digging through your downloaded assets folder for things. This first iteration is primitive and only supports images and files but I plan to add sounds, file editing, videos and etc.
• LLM Integration with Claude (Beta/POC)
  • This is just a demo. I added a chat-like interface for interacting with Clause.API. You'll need a paid account to get an api key. I'm just playing around with ideas. I'm looking at a lot of AI offerings right now but I'm thinking about how we can integrate LLMs with gdscript/godot development. 

Installation Options:

• Source Options: 
• • Download the source from github and build/run. 
    • https://github.com/graydwarf/godot-valet
      
    • You won't get the spiffy godot-valet icon unless you configure/run gcedit when you build.
• Windows Users:
  • Download .zip, unpack and run. 
  • Recommend a taskbar shortcut.

Support for other platforms will come when someone feels like getting it working on those respective platforms.

Disclaimers:

• For optimal safety and certainty, we highly recommend users to download, review, and modify the source code directly. 
• Please use caution and assume full responsibility while utilizing this project. Be aware that during the export and publish phases, the software executes a significant number of read/write/delete operations that could potentially overwrite existing files both locally and on itch.io. In many situations, there are no warnings when overwriting files because it's the expected behavior.
