Kobold Generator
A downloadable project for Windows and Android
This little toy can be used to generate kobolds! There are a good variety of parts to choose and you can color them in many different ways! They are also a desktop pet, you can have them run around inside the program or on your desktop. There's also an android version!
Kobolds are simple creatures, currently. They run around the desktop and yip at random! They'll sometimes sit down, usually in groups, and if they get sleepy, they will retreat to the bottom corners of the screen to sleep. Sleep and awake times are configurable in the options menu.
Kobolds on the desktop will block mouse input! If a kobold is in the way, simply right click on them to make them move away. Also you can pet kobolds by holding left click on their head.
You can set saved kobolds to be autoloaded when the program is run by checking Active or Desktop in the saved kobolds list. Active will make them load into the program, while Desktop will load them onto the desktop.
While the amount of options have expanded from the last version, your old kobold codes will still work! You can access the code entry in the kobold list.
Controls (Desktop only)
WASD - Move the currently edited kobold

Made in Godot 4.2 | Font in the cover art is Ruler Gold, in-game font is Friendly Scribbles

can't see entire map of kobold at one time :( i feel like that should be a thing (also having black box issues)
This is so cute oh my god, I love it. I love the sounds the kobold make!
Same black box issue. Using an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT.
The black box issue come from the renderer they used for the project. Godot Forward+ has issues rendering transparencies for higher end computers. They would need to switch it to compatibility rendering to remove the black boxes.

Hey, this is pretty nice, though I've found myself also running into an issue with the kobolds having black boxes like some other people have been. Hope you're able to find a fix soon though.
Sorry about that! It's been a bit of a mystery to me, unfortunately. Could you tell me what graphics card you're using? I have a hunch it might be because some GPUs might not agree with the Vulkan renderer Godot uses. I'm gonna see if I can upload a version without it.
It's a nvidia geforce mx150 I believe? I'm absolutely clueless with computers, sorry.
This is adorable! Any possibility of a Linux version? It does run under WINE, but the color picker doesn't work and I always find myself less willing to run non-native software.
Thank you! I believe I can export it to Linux, although I won't be able to test it myself. I'll try and have it uploaded tonight or tomorrow for you though!
I'm happy to test it for you if you'd like!
This is so good. I hope you keep updating it. I wish I could pick them up and that they had more interactions. I wish I could put clothes on them. Ect ect; But what it is rn is still really cute and nice
Thank you! I'm gonna be taking some time off this (especially since I want to participate in a game jam this month), but I do plan on poking at this more! Especially with more interactions! I still have plenty of ideas I wanted to do, but ended up cutting to meet my self imposed deadline.
why are there big black boxes around my kobolds pls help :(
Hmm, I'm honestly not sure. I had someone else report this issue, but I have very little idea what could be causing it. My best guess is your computer may not agree with Godot's renderer. I'll have to look into it... sorry about that.
its okie i still love this program
I really hope your able to figure out what is causing the black boxes as Im having them as well
can make a version for gles3 o port to godot 3.5?, my hardware is old and cant play
My kobold looks so lonely by itself can you make it so we can make multiple kobolds so it'll have a nice little group? I know it might not be a small task but damn it i want my 'bold to have friends ;;;
I can't say when the next update for this will be, since I've been splitting my focus between this project and another... but I have been working on that very feature! :)
It's lovely, I love all the creatures you can make here! One small suggestion I would make would be to add an option to change the outline colour, as it can blend in with certain body colours - but other than that, I adore everything about it!
Thank you! I hadn't thought of that, either! if I do another update, I'll def add in outline colors
