Free: Godot 4 Game Feel Checklist (playable)

Free scene transition shaders for Godot 4: four smooth screen transitions. The full pack is Screen Transitions. Animated transition shaders for Godot 4 animation and scene changes.

Four scene transitions for Godot 4, written as plain canvas_item shaders and driven by one small autoload. No textures, no screen-texture reads: each effect is computed from math, so there are no image files to import.

Transitions.change_scene("res://level_2.tscn", "circle_wipe", 0.6)

What you get

• 4 shaders: circle wipe, iris, linear wipe (any angle), pixel dissolve
• Transitions.gd autoload: change_scene(), awaitable play_out() / play_in(), shader uniforms via a dictionary, a global cover colour, and an enabled switch for reduced-motion options
• Demo project with a button per shader
• README with install steps, API and uniform table
• Each shader also works on its own on a ColorRect, with no autoload

Want more? The full pack has 16 shaders (adds noise burn, glitch cut, spiral, halftone dots, ink bleed, curtain, blinds, diamond, checker, wave wipe, radial clock, page curl lite) with the same autoload and API: https://inkharbor.itch.io/screen-transitions

Good to know

• Transitions cover the screen with a solid colour and reveal it again. They do not blur or distort the old scene.
• Built for Godot 4.3+ with the GL Compatibility renderer in mind.
• Licence: free for personal and commercial use in your own projects, including games you sell. Do not redistribute the source as a standalone asset.

Tested

The four transitions were checked on screen and in scene changes through the autoload in Godot 4.7 (GL Compatibility). Not checked: Web export, macOS and Linux. Bug reports in the comments are welcome.
