Hey! firstly congrats for the plugin, it looks very good! I'm about to do a mobile point and click game, how could this plugin help me for? I tried to simple use it but the character moving not worked when testing the apk :c thanks a lot
Hey! Thanks for your kind words and your purchase.
I haven’t tested the plugin on mobile devices yet, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to make it recognize input for movement. However, enabling the inventory and settings menu might require some work.
I’ll see if I can allocate some time to work on it, or if a team member can handle it.
I've been looking for something like this for a while, it looks like a great alternative to Escoria, which I struggled with quite a bit. Could I ask for an update on how the port to Godot 4.0 is going?
About version 2.0 (which is the one that works in Godot 4) all the features from version 1 are functioning, but we haven’t yet tested all possible scenarios, so there might be issues we haven’t encountered yet.
One of the contributors is enhancing the Aseprite Importer to not only import character animations but also rooms, which will automatically create Props. There will also be an improvement for importing inventory items.
I’ll start working on enhancing the game’s graphical interface today, making it easier to create from scratch or choose from various templates: a 7-verb template, a verb-coin template, the default BASS template the plugin uses, and a Sierra-style template. Hopefully, that will be operational by next week.
Furthermore, today I’ll be adding an enhancement that allows multiple characters to move simultaneously.

Great plugin! Altough I'm an experienced programmer, I'm new to Godot and GDScript and this plugin is an excelent way to understand the engine and how how to structure a game. I was interested in developing a Point&Click game, so that's a big plus.
I see you are porting the add-on to Godot 4.0. Do you recommend Gotod 4.0 for Popochiu to a begginer or 3.5 is still recommended ?
Thanks for your comment. I’m happy to know you think the plugin is great.
For an experienced beginner I recommend using Godot 4.0 because it has great improvements in scripting in comparisson with Godot 3. Buuuut, it is still in beta and you can experience some bugs (like losing textures). If you are just experimenting, then it will be fine if you start with Godot 4.0.
Most of the plugin is already working in Godot 4.0. I hope to release the first beta next week!
I was thinking the same way... to embrace the new features and differences in language, instead of learning the "old way" and adapting later to it. Thanks!
Glad to know that. I'm working on some tutorials for the plugin, hope they will be ready next weekend. And if you are interested in learning Godot, this YouTube channels could be helpful: GDQuest, HeartBeast, PigDev. Also, the GDQuest team made a great Web app to leard GDScript: Learn GDScript from ZERO.

My game is in the list! Incredible!
Of course it had to be
When is Popochiu 2.0 full version for Godot 4.0 coming out?
Probably in two weeks. But we’ll try to make it last shorter.

Very promising. Look forward to v2.0 and Godot 4 support!
Checked out Escoria at all? https://docs.escoria-framework.org/en/devel/general/what_is_escoria.html
Yup. At the moment I started building Popochiu I didn’t like the workflow of Escoria, but I didn’t experiment much with it.
It's nice to have two cakes!

Fun fact: I was watching your tutorial videos and realized I wasn't using the subtitles. I'm portuguese, so it's not hard do understand it :-D
I want to use it for my next game, but i need more help, tutorials, code snippet... I'm trying to learn Godot scripting but it's pretty hard...

English subs. by the moment, but I'll upload a version with English voices soon.
This is SO exciting! I love PQ but dig Godot more than Unity! Can't wait to try this out!
I'm glad you are excited about it. And I hope you can make something with it.
Any Discord server or bb I can join to follow this engine development?
I have similar feeling. PQ is great but for me, as ex AGS user, Unity is much much too heavy. I love Godot and Popochiu for its speed and explicitness
