Oh hey, I'm literally working on this as a game. A Mario 64/Sonic Adventure gameplay mashup 3D Collectathon platformer. It's real early alpha.

Hey, no shade thrown your way. This is not a slight on you. I realized in my rush to get something out the door, I put nothing there to signify that's the way up. No trail of collectables, no sight post with an arrow, no anything. That's a developer issue, not a player issue. It showed me what I need, so I am grateful for you for that.

Yeah, I did. I wanted to do more and do a lot of bugfixing, but I just ran out of time because I wanted to get a demo out for this Demo Day. It is what it is, though.
If anyone cares to try, it's here. https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-63/rate/3695345

>Can you share more?
My version of what you're asking is STUPIDLY complex, but I'll give you the simple version.
I have a Vector2 (we'll call is planeSpeed) and a Vector3 (we'll call it forwardVec). I have a couple Raycasts to determine the angle that forwardVec should be facing, and in the air, I just make it so that forwardVec.y = 0 and normalize the rest. I also have groundNormal that is always facing directly away from the face of the ground.
velocity = (planeSpeed.x * forwardVec)+(planeSpeed.y * groundNormal)
Because I am making a Sonic-like movement system, I ALSO have to account for converting ground speed to air speed, but that's a me thing. If you don't want to jump like that, and you ALWAYS want to jump straight up, you could just do
velocity = (planeSpeed.x * forwardVec)+(planeSpeed.y * Vector3.UP)
Keep in mind, you should manually adjust your speed/acceleration/deceleration depending on the angle of your forwardVec.

>what engine are you using
Godot
>what genre is it?
3d Platformer Collectathon
>how many hours have you sunk into it
I don't know, but I'm about 2 years into development, spending about 5-8 hours on it a week. So, I assume something like 600-700 hours so far? Still blocking out the first level, so it looks like shit, but it functions. Nothing is anywhere near done, yet. I still have a long way to go.
>Very rarely are their gamedev threads.

>Just started learning personally would love some advice.
You need to have passion about your game and a vision. If you cannot easily (and I mean easily) envision what your game is and will be, you need to make a Game Design Document. Everything takes time, and there will be days you want to quit. The only thing that will get you through those days are sheer determination.
>Shill your game too
Okay. I'm making a game people are probably sick of seeing by now. It plays like if Mario 64 and Sonic Adventure had a baby. Have a WebM of me speedrun-collecting three collectables in my game real quick.

Thank you! I put a lot of work into the gameplay itself. Took me nearly a year and a half to get right, and I'm still making adjustments constantly.

Working hard and being positive is the only way to make your dreams come true, my man. Keep on keeping on. Your game looks sick as hell.
