The latest version includes a few new enhancements, and an experiment: The sequencer demo uses inventory instances to hold music notes, which can be played back. This was inspired by music trackers that were popular in the 90s, such as Scream Tracker and Impulse Tracker. The sequencer isn’t meant to be a production-ready digital audio workstation replacement. It’s a proof of concept, but it does show off the flexibility of the inventory system.
I’ve transcribed a track I created in Ableton Live about a decade ago. This is included in the Inventory System demo project:

Of course, we also have bug fixes:
Expiration extension handles scenes without an owner (such as dynamically assembled scenes)
Inventory allows setting the scroll container’s custom minimum size
The Inventory UI correctly selects the configured view upon start
The Inventory System Deep Dive and Architecture Guide helps game developers implement advanced multiplayer inventories using Godot Engine. The PDF Guide contains over 500 pages of code walkthroughs, diagrams, and explains concepts related to inventories, items, and more.

The goal behavior is to show/hide the appropriate displays for the players, depending on how many players there are. Initially, the code to update the UI was very simple, because I started with two players. In that case, you …

In addition, this release now includes character damage and …
