How's your project coming along /v/?

I've gotten a pretty good start these past few days
The programming part is turning out to be pretty easy, but I'm dreading having to open blender

>>717961675 (OP)
are they still following
>please look forward to this completely random feature that we merged because it wasn't too much effort to integrate
school of development milestones?

>>717961675 (OP)
I've accepted that i simply don't have the patience, discipline, and persistence required to develop a game. I've tried many times, but i never get far. It's a shame. I know everyone says this but i legitimately have some really good ideas for good, unique games.
Go on without me bros.

its going fine but its getting so close to the part where i make the entire soundtrack that im starting to get scared, inspiration can be a bitch
>>717962363
dont give up u sunnovabich, giving up is fucking gay

Wokring on a little arcade project in Godot, had some fun making little characters

>>717962937
>>717962748
very cool
>>717962363
very gay

godot is so bloated now it's easier to make your own game using a framework instead

>>717961962
No it's more like:
>i merged this completely random feature that breaks this critical thing that real games need that 99% of our userbase won't notice because my tranny project needs to proc gen in real time and write lock the main thread and no one reviewed it before merging because the one guy that looked at it is a tranny too and gave the green light without actually testing for regressions

>>717961675 (OP)
>using pozzed godot
Shameful.

>>717965769
Assuming I don't waste my life on Twitter, how can I tell that Godot is pozzed?

>>717961675 (OP)
Came to the conclusion that I have autism, and only like the coding part of gamedev. Need to find myself a good ideas guy.

>Can't say, under NDA and stuff.

Are you the top or bottom?

I have grown a new level of respect for all game developers. This shit is hard. I feel like giving up too, but I want to push this shit as far as I can before I pay someone to take over

>>717961675 (OP)
I am still
fucking
rigging

Also debating on redoing some elements of my characters model - some of the stuff I tried to do turned out to be the incorrect approach (I made a shape key to modify a characters body part to take on a certain size and shape, when I should have just modified the size via the scale of the limbs base bone and used the shape key for the general form of the limb)
To be fair, I expected to just use the shape key value in-engine and didn't realize it would cause issues with animations not working seamlessly across the various states of the limb.

>>717961675 (OP)
Unity fights me a lot with playing animations for certain actions.
The fact that the animations in Cuphead play properly is an impressive feat to me.

>>717961675 (OP)
trying out raylib, it's pretty neat with hot reload. using placeholder wireframes to build with atm. just made the player inventory system and hooked up purchasing things, now to do selling :p

wokot is a meme game engine

REMINDER
We now know who the true mastermind is now for the payment processor pressure campaign against anime, violent games and porn. The conservative christian run group Collective Shout is just a cover for Russ Vought, a co-writer for Project 2025, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget, AND Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

This man has already publicly stated his desire to have pornographic content, violent video games, and other types of content "harmful to children", banned from the internet.

In a two minute clip posted on YouTube by The Intercept the following transcript, highlighted in yellow, shows his intended starting point (start with children), and then he cuts himself off from explaining the next part of the plan, of violent video games, etc, as that route had failed twice already in the past few decades.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0noIS9lmR0Y [Embed]

Now, in his position in the CFPB, Russ Vought has ultimate authority over payment providers and banks, and he has likely been abusing this power to strong-arm changes in these privately owned businesses regarding content he specifically had shown his distaste and hatred towards previously. All clearly telegraphed before hand, many years ago.

Don't for for Russ Vought's shills trying to do anything in their power to deflect from the fact, he is the one in charge of Visa and Mastercard and they are trying to crack down on porn and video games by attacking American companies now under his direction.
He has the motive, means and opportunity to do all this.

>>717961675 (OP)
AI has taken my job, now it's taking my hobby.

Show us your trannydot games!

I can now animate property curves over time on my camera, such as bokeh and sharpen. Got multi cam setup with multiple post processing volumes. Got my facial expressions on a track. Animations on a track. cam switching on a track. Signals to various other triggers (such as play teardrop, change wind parameter, etc.) on a track.

Only thing that remains is dolly tracks and then nothing is stopping me from making cutscenes. I got the following potential systems to help me with this: Cinemachine, Game creator 2 animation paths, Animation Curve Modifiers with Easing plus Camera Control (by BNB), TimeFlow. Of course, I can also make my own system. The trouble is the overlay cams and multiple volumes I am using now. I suspect a lot of these systems cannot deal with that.

I am also starting a Unity asset store page. I developed several things in the past month that no one else bothered to put on there (maybe with good reason). Things like a teardrop controller that you can just set the waypoints for and put in the teardrop prefab and you are good to go.

>>717967960

There's another fork that's supposed to be anti-woke, that has even less games made in it.

>>717961675 (OP)
Slow because I can't code.
It will have to be a... VN.
Maybe one day I will be able to post progress art of sexy orc girls, goblin girls, and centaur girls alongside storyboard backgrounds after the writing is finished, and maybe prospective coders will want to bring a world where you fuck such beings into being.

>>717973854
Zooms not the issue, was using CTRL+Middle Mouse Button for precise zoom for a while - but you use the middle mouse button for panning and rotation as well.
Luckily it looks like there's a Mouse 3 Button emulation mode that lets you use Alt+Left to simulate middle mouse. Built for Mac mouses probably but works for my junk shit.

This is the thread, ya?

I'm using shape keys as body morph sliders for character creation customization. This is going fine, but I'm wondering how I translate this to different outfits. Especially if the parameters of how everything is shaped isnt known until the player sets it all in-game.

If I've got a base mesh with shape keys controlling, say, the bust size, and I've got another mesh thats a Tshirt that fits over the "default" body, how do I morph it to account for the shape keys changing? Particularly if I want to make new clothes later without redoing everything in the base mesh? Do I just gotta bring those shape keys over to every clothing article (somehow) and put them in about the right spots, and (somehow) have Godot do the adjusts for me by extracting the keys from the base and applying them to the outfit?

Having a hard time finding the keywords to google this with, so appreciate any tips/docs anyone might have

>>717961675 (OP)
Really wish I didnt sleep on learning Blender for so long, its surprising how easy and fun it is. Especially compared to how unfun the cycle in Godot of finding a stale ticket for a basic no-brainer feature that's basically WONTFIXED cuz Godot is run by idiots. Honestly if not for a new found desire to actually see the assets used, I might just live in /3/ instead of /agdg/.

>>717972271
Yeah, and literally all they do is copy Godot's commits. They didn't even finish removing all of Godot's branding. Useless.

>>717976253
Blazium and Jenova are the only forks worth looking into.

>>717976601
>even less active than Redot
Just use Godot nigga.

>>717961962
No, they're just denying commits from competent devs that don't make using Godot their personality, who don't suck Juan's dick and who is doing something that the foundation should be doing.

It's funny because the retarded Redox fork finally got performance increases despite it only being worked on by an autistic Irish man. It took a while but Godot would have had them if 1 the Irish wasn't mentally retarded and 2 they didn't care about personal politics of developers.

>>717961675 (OP)
I normally just make simple dialogue focused porn games, but I've recently wanted to give an earnest try to a turn based experience. I have been told Godot isn't really useful for either text heavy or turn based experiences, but I do not want to use RPGM.

Do I just keep making porn? Make a SFW game that's not eroge? God forbid, blend the two and do neither well?

>>717975819
So as I understand things, clothing that rests on top of a character usually ends up being an identical copy of the topology underneath, so it can 1-1 match the deformations and avoid clipping.
Because of this, if you are "making" clothing after you're done establishing shape keys, you can copy the original model, delete everything you don't need, clean up your "shirt" mesh, and the shape keys should still exist on the copy- they may need some amount of tweaking to look right. Should also transfer over weight painting
Otherwise I have no clue how you would do it and have it look good.

Godot tutorials are trash. I tried Game Maker Studio around 10 years ago and got further than when I tried Godot recently. Sure I dropped both times, but those GMS tutorials felt like teached me more in less time.

>>717977081
>tutorials
That's like watching a video on cutting a tree branch with a saw and expecting to be able to put up a basic fence with just what the tutorial teaches you.
Tutorials are a trap if you're using them for anything more than a reference point or to hear about new topics for you to look into.

>>717976956
>I have been told Godot isn't really useful for either text heavy or turn based experiences
Not off the bat, you'll have to program and build your own codebase for it. There are pre-existing addons, but I know the Dialogue ones are poor quality, only really useful for simple games.
Best bet would be to find a Good Unity tutorial - which there are more of- and try to translate it to Godot.
Lots of turnbased content and tutorials out there, of various quality.

>>717961774
That's funny, I'm enjoying learning blender. Can't say I care much for programming.

>>717976927
Is Juan working on another lighting system again, or is there something else retarded going on in the background I haven't heard about.

I just published a new demo but I don't really feel like advertising it because there's so much half finished and broken I just don't want to deal with people pointing out stuff I already know about

I don't care about my furry game anymore. I'm learning Python and Javascript and frameworks like Django and React so I can get a tech job and enventually takeover the world.

>>717965940
If you stick to stackoverflow and github, you can't. The pozzed part is the community.

>>717977017
Alright, yeah thats makes sense. Mostly I just want to have new outfits in the future, but still respect any character customization. It doesn't (and prolly shouldn't) just be overtop the body since that's a waste of tris, but I could dupe the torso and try to reshape it to be whatever new thing I want it to be. Although that sounds horrible to work with, now that I'm really thinking ahead, since I can't add new verts due to it having shape keys. I think outfits are more important/fun than body sliders, so maybe I should give up on this pursuit for now desu.

Maybe there's some thing I can do with bones instead? I'll have to do some more experimenting tomorrow

>>717966408
I'm the one with a paycheck at the end of the month so you know, it's in my best interest to not reveal anything until we're finished.

>>717977502
Are you that dude who was making those low poly furry bitches and a Crash clone?

the other day i was working on a "getting in and out of the mech" mechanic, but now i have to actually think of a level design reason to go along with it

>>717976956
Like other anon said, it's not useful in the sense of "it's not useful by default". RPG Maker has that default setup but it's shoddy and too basic for anything ambitious anyway.
Turn based stuff varies in difficulty, but the less complex you make it, the easier. A 1v1 turn based fight is super simple, for example, since every attack/skill/item can only have one valid target.

>>717977824
Well, there are various tried and true things you could do - from brief horror sections that change the games tone by making the player vulnerable without the mech, to solving puzzles in between combat progressions to improve pacing (ala HL2), or even just letting the player harass regular NPC'S face-to-face.

>>717976956
>I have been told Godot isn't really useful for either text heavy or turn based experiences
I mean nothing is, outside of maybe specific code blocks sold on Unity maybe, but that's like saying nothing is really useful for Match 3 games - true, but who cares, you could make that shit in HTML.

2D in general doesn't matter unless you're making an automation, grand strategy or RTS game. Definitely doesn't matter for simplistic RPGs. Most of the work is going to be dialogue display lol.

as your game progresses in complexity you will extremely quickly reach the point where the main challenge is your own brain rather than the engine you are using

Started a fresh project last night after a whole year of not doing anything.
I seem to have forgotten everything, but that shouldn't be an issue after a bit of practice.

Doing a billiards kind of game so it shouldn't be too difficult to finish.
also using Redot cause they focus on working on the engine

>>717979239
You just have to allow yourself like a 4-5 hour grace period to shake the rust off instead of getting immediately frustrated and yeah, it's no problem.

>>717961675 (OP)
It's still in the early stages, aka I still don't know how to program, do art or haven't even downloaded godot, but I have some vague ideas that I will never get to because I'm a lazy motherfucker with no passion.

>>717977824
Enemy air (or space) cover that deletes your mech from high altitude or orbit, so you have to go around on foot until it passes or help secure a place for anti air cover.

I'm hardcoding everything in C++ and nobody can stop me.

>>717961675 (OP)
i have no idea about coding, like 0, nothing, zero, nada and i want to make a videogame, where and how do i start?
my idea is an adventure kind of game where you start with a single weapon but as you progress and spend EXP on the weapon it will evolve and branch into different paths to better suit your gameplay style

>>717977381
Yeah well, see you when your entire game's programmed and now you have to make all the assets

Still building my assets, and then dealing with the headache of setting my pipeline requirements for each model so I do overboard on the rendering budget.

>>717979239

Has the dev team finally gotten their shit together?
I've been using Blazium instead since Redot just felt like a reskin of Godot.

Blazium has actually developed new Nodes and shit.
Even made a multiplayer lobby node.

Hanger section before a mission obviously, no way in fuck should you let them exit during a mission because now you just increased scope by 1000x.

>>717971746
Good progress, although I must inform you your talents are probably being wasted on whatever anime rpg you're trying to make.

>>717980692
shouldn't you pick a programming language to learn first?

Been working on my combat system, ironing out the issues to make things work smoothly. Still a ways to go.

>>717981191
Eh, nah, learning how to use a game engine will give you enough of whatever scripting language it uses. You're not trying to be a softwaredev, you're trying to be a gamedev, you want to learn how to slap shit together and start making physics calls asaps and shouldn't give a shit about IDEs beyond whatever the engine gives you.
"Refactoring" is code for "procrastinating" and "tests" are what you do to make sure you didn't forget to put a collider somewhere. "Best practices" means remembering to see if something works before pushing it to master and that's about it.

Consequently gamedevs typically make for extremely bad softwaredevs. Vice versa too, mind. Just go out there and start setting up some if/else trees and leave the rest to later.

When I playtested with other people the last couple times, the main complaint about the gameplay of my game was that it was very easy to slip off of platforms, so I implemented a couple things. First, I added "Coyote time". For roughly 10 frames after running off a platform, you can still jump.

Secondly, I made it so that if your Left Stick is in a Neutral position (as in, if you're not pressing a direction) and you're under a certain speed, you'll just stop at a ledge. It looks abrupt right now, but I made a new animation for it, I just haven't implemented it.

>>717981256
Clearly your game is early on, but it already looks impressive. I really like your chomping enemy guy

>>717977824
Your game looks badass.

>>717962748
I dig your game's style.

>>717961675 (OP)
Finishing off all the game mechanics that are needed for the demo version so I can start properly play-testing. Then it's back to grinding character sprites.
Too lazy to make a video small enough to post here: https://files.catbox.moe/3no5lg.mp4

>>717980583
I will not participate in the de-soul-ification of the world.

>>717982183
Are you against AI 100% or are you against just code generated from AI? Because if you're only against the code portion, you could just simply ask it questions. "If I was trying to do XYZ what would be the best way to go about doing that? Please do not generate any code, just teach"

>>717981775
Thanks bro. The chomper turned out better than expected, I had to pull some experimental moves to make the jump work but the result is pretty cool. Enemies use unity's nav mesh agents to move around, but they can't be physics objects at the same time, so when he jumps it switches off navigation and uses the physics systems instead. It's still very wonky if there are other enemies or objects around they tend to collide mid-air in unintended ways.

Your platformer there is coming along very nicely too, looks like a lot of fun.

>>717981775
No deceleration at all on the movement?

>>717982634
Well, there is deceleration normally on the movement, but the deceleration was making it so that smaller platforms were harder to land on. So, like I said, your movement stops if you get to a ledge and you are not pressing a direction. It's not finalized, but an animation like this will play when it happens.

>>717966024
this. i have more fun building my own framework and the gameplay is more like a placeholder. which sucks because i really love playing games and have a general idea of the kind of the game i want to make but the moment i start actually writing it i lose all motivation to actually design the game

>>717961675 (OP)
did an animation for opening doors that are locked with a key

>>717962748
ever considered hiring someone for the music?

>>717983230
Nice work, looks slick. Is there something lurking in the darkness on the other side?

i can't code

>>717983230
I'm taking it each door object has a default camera position offset for both sides, to cut to on the room transition, so you're not manually creating one for both sides of every door? Short of manually tweaking edge cases if it's a cramp room or something.

>>717983230
Your door transitions are really smooth looking. Great work!

>>717983230
> Background textured.
> Character model and hair not textured.
lol. You got some fixing to do.
>>717982154
Aren't those 3D models? Sprites usually only refer to 2D models. Also why the Magical Aptitude when everything else is one word? Why couldn't it be Aptitude or just Magic? Not very consistent.

>>717983230
Nice.
The lighting looks really good btw, are you setting large parts of the game in dim environments?

>>717961675 (OP)
Not as good as I want it to be, but the deadline is coming close.

I never thought I'd go from working on jam games to being paid by Nexon making shitty phone roblox games in the span of a year.

>>717983679
>> Background textured.
>> Character model and hair not textured.
>lol. You got some fixing to do.
Are you fucking retarded? Do you know how game development works or how placeholder shit works?

>>717983804
Good luck gayboy.

>>717983841
> Rages from that little ouchie.
It just looks jarring to look at when looking at the rest of the game.

>>717981256
Its going to be a rollslop isn't it?

>>717984261
>Go into game development thread
>DUDE LOL YOUR GAME LOOKS UNFINISHED
You should have been a blowjob

>>717984357
> Its this retarded lol.

>>717983679
If you think those are 3D models I guess that means I'm better at symmetry and foreshortening than I thought.

>>717984767
I've seen some Games use similar looking 3D models with cel-shading tech, not bad anon. It looks drawn over a 3D model type of shit legit.

>>717984324
There is a dodge move involved, yes. Among plenty other options. I am trying to make sure the player can choose their own method of approaching situations, so I'm trying to include a lot of moves in a tight package. Been working on combining inputs to create a flexible control system.
Trust me, I want to avoid falling for the rollslop trap here.

>>717984873
Okay if you make the parrying a possibility then consider it doing quarter attack damage to stamina and once you are out of stamina it would be dealing a half of the attack to your health. Or make it more reflex based so either one is optional and perfect frame parries/dodges allow you to strike harder/reward you for that gameplay feature. Those are the two routes.

>>717985068
Exactly this kind of stuff I planned yeah. Currently the parry is pretty basic, and only really works to try to reflect projectiles. If you parry other types of attacks it just causes a stun on the enemy, just as a proof of concept.
I actually don't have stamina, I have other resources you use, as well as a stun meter that goes up when you get hit, block or parry.

>>717980581
NTA but it's reasonable to demand parity with basic features that other engines have especially when they had it 4 years ago but broke it.
(and Ik kinda worked for me)

>>717985356
Ah, okay that's cool. You can always add in a combo feature I suppose if its more hack and slash then with the perfect frame dodging/parrying.

>>717985448
If you want decent IK at all in Unity you're stuck paying for solution on their marketplace. A shame Godot's community downloadable shit is still in its infancy, but who wants to maintain crap for it with how frequently that software package gets updated these days.

>>717962748
Good to see you're not dead. keep going

>>717983329
thanks! there's always something lurkong there lol
>>717983405
yes, doors have a default position and rotation for the transition, but I also have those vectors exposed on the editor in case I want to change it for a particular door
>>717983601
ty :)
>>717983679
wy mean? Character is textured, only thing left is the face. Might add more detail to the hair, I think it's way too subtle
>>717983703
yeah! Already have a few planned for the demo

>>717986737
The armor and weapon kit is a bit too untextured for being metal as well.

>>717981775
I don't think Coyote Time is necessary but that other mechanic is interesting. I think SA2 did something very similar where if you tried to walk off an edge that's over a bottomless pit, Sonic would stop in place and do a fumble animation. I don't think that happens if he's going fast or if it happens above ground.

>>717961675 (OP)
Fine. I had a few dozen hours in Godot then realized my project was just better suited for RPG Maker so I swapped to that.
The assets I'm making will work in Godot and I'll probably use that for a sequel but I need to get something concrete down first. Trying to copy the database system of RPG Maker into Godot is just too time consuming right now. I'd rather build out combat ideas, create more assets, and learn how to create music rather than be in a constant coding nightmare.
I'm still going to dedicating a few hours a week to work with the engine despite it not being for my main project.
Here's a chest that I had made. It animates pretty well honestly.
I'm trying to make the entire game using the Monokai color palette.

>>717986886
nah I think they are fine. Might be that the webmblacls some detail... I'm not at home, can send you a direct screenshot later on.

>>717987042
Alright, just consider how steel usually has a texture to it when its armor form since most of the steel wasn't polished and shiny back in those days. Steel should be rough and reflective surface. Pic related.

>>717981775
Coyote is a platformer standard, but precise platforming and speed focused gameplay just don't mesh and that sounds like the problem. 3D Sonic games have racetrack maps and huge blocks for platforming parts for a reason.

>>717987252
thanks for the feedback anon, I'll look into that. Will probably check how older games did armor textures, since I don't want it to have too much detail.

>>717987468
Classic example.

>>717980339
Really? 200 hours to make that?

>>717987359
I believe you're correct in that the speed focused gameplay and precision platforming don't mix, hence why I have two different modes. When you hold run, you control far closer to Sonic Adventure Sonic, and when you aren't, you control closer to Mario 64.

The real, true trick of it all is that a game like this already exists. Banjo Kazooie. In Banjo Kazooie, Kazooie was a pain in the ass to platform with, which is why for precision platform parts in a first-time run through, Banjo was the preferred option. For the casual player, Banjo was the slower option who had more movement options, and Kazooie was the fast option with less movement options, but she could go up steep slopes. That's exactly like my game. The basic idea exists in another game and it plays very well. I just have to fine-tune it.

Unironically, A.I will assist you in finding your issues.
You are one guy, and you don't want to waste your time trawling through forums on google for the answer.

>>717986886
Yeah I get that, it's that weird middle ground where it's "textured" but it doesn't feel like it has weight or material definition. Might need to crank up the roughness variation or throw a subtle normal map pass on it to catch the light right-right now it kinda reads like plastic more than forged steel. Maybe even go look at Souls-style armor textures, they really nailed grimy, convincing metals without overdetailing.

>>717989224
i do use ai, but remember the fact that i am retarded and thus do not know if i can trust what the ai is telling me. some solutions it gives me may work for now, but be completely harmful later down the line, and i have no way of knowing this as a tard. does that make sense?

>>717989524
Oh aye, you don't check with one A.I, you check with several. ChatGPT, Grok, Deepseek, etc, they all have slightly different ways of doing things.

>>717989594
that's good advice, but at that point i'm still back to spending a lot of my time researching and not really doing anything. just replace endless forum scrolling for endless ai asking.

>>717988842
Time to actually look up the methods and properties of what classes you're using to know what you're doing instead of blindly copying code and asking stackoverflow/reddit or googling it.
Congrats, if you can get over this hump, you can now solve novel problems and you're no longer easily replaced by a pajeet with ai access and nothing but time. Yippee.

>>717990289
>you could rewrite it again
this should be taken with a massive grain of salt
one skill to learn early is making things work first but also making things refactor friendly
this pays huge dividends down the line when you inevitably do refactor
usually it just means separating things by responsibility (e.g. dont make one giant Enemy class), or gracefully handling things being missing/broken

>>717993052
looking good tho

>>717989890
I'm sure the only thing standing between you and success is the node system

I like the idea of gamedev and I like coding in general, but I've never managed to actually make a full game. I don't really have any ideas I absolutely have to see implemented, nor stories that absolutely have to be told, and I am not disciplined enough to make it just by fucking around. It was over for me before it even began. I still had fun fucking around with various engines and frameworks though, that's all that matters right?

>>717993440
you can always team up with someone

There we go, dolly tracks, camera switching, beautify settings (e.g. bokeh on the camera) and other signal emitters on a timeline, facial expression controller, look animator, eyes animator, body animation, teardrop controller, seperated background and foreground with each their own post processing volume, everything you need to make a proper cutscene.

Busy making a tool so that I can preview the camera movements in editor mode, so I don't have to go in runtime all the time.

All I need now is a decent storyboard/shot list.

>>717980995

Thanks, but you overestimate me.

>>717993853
it's hard to think of a bigger waste of time

>>717993853
Because I'm not as good as him, but I will make an equally impressive thing with a preexisting engine.

>>717993938
At least you're honest, I can appreciate that. Good luck.

>>717993853
My game isn't special enough to need that.

>>717993472

>>717992918
This is for a 2D game btw

>>717989524
This is why I'm excited to see how fucked the future of software development is, for this reason alone.

>>717992918
AI

>>717994337
Alright.

>>717993853
But I am. I was originally using GameMaker, but I couldn't do online the way I wanted in that engine, so I switched to SDL2 and C. It's been very fun, if you're making a 2D game and are a decent programmer, there's no reason not to do it without an engine.

>>717993853
What were the advantages of building an engine in this case? Genuinely interested.

I've been watching tutorials on how to do certain things and so long as you actually pay attention and check what the code means after the fact I think they can be pretty helpful to understand what kind of things you can do

>>717994715
Thanks Ranjeet.

>>717994712
No bloat.

>>717994760
What's the alternative then? Not pay attention and don't check what the code means?

>>717995761
Some tards think that documentation is holy gospel and if you can't make it with just that you should flip burgers.

>>717993853
Don't see any advantages just more work.
Also, why reinvent the wheel when I can already get one with full source code and the rights to do whatever I want with it?

>>717993532
thanks! you are making some cool progress there as well. Specially that part about being able to preview the camera while planning a cutscene sounds super useful. What engine are you working with?

>>717996831

Thanks. Working with Unity. You have several camera systems which can make camera's move along a bezier curve. The trick is accessing the bezier curve data or approximating it if you cannot access it. I do the latter. Here, the light blue line is my preview and the dark blue line is the bezier curve of Game creator 2, which camera system I am using. It's a one to one copy with straight lines and smaller curves. Here is a big loop where the approximation is decent enough to work with.

>>717993853
what did he do with his custom engine that he couldnt do with an off the shelf one?

>>717961675 (OP)
I'm just trying to remake Final Fantasy I in Godot as a stepping stone before I make my own RPG. It's surprisingly hard to get the menus and stuff working, I thought that kind of thing would be a solved problem.

Ahem,

Monsters raping boys, post your work.
NOW!

>>717999920
we've gone through this already

well...

>>717999802
How is it hard?

>>718000368
NTA but it is quite tricky to set it up. Plus it doesn't advance your "gameplay" or fun factor in general, which makes it a pain to work through.

>>718000368
It's not any one thing, I've just found it surprisingly difficult to have a controller-compatible menu that behaves consistently across each menu in the game. Sometimes it's struggling with the cursor not behaving how I want it, sometimes it's trouble with setting aside one menu for a new one to come in, it can be a lot of things.

I'm definitely unskilled enough that I would chalk most my issues up to user error, but it's still something that has caused more trouble than expected for me. Just for comparison, I thought an inventory system would be a more complicated thing to implement at first, but then it turned out the only thing that was actually difficult about it was building the menu systems to access that inventory.

>>717980581
I've tried multiple FABRIK implementations but neither worked because of how the skeleton update stack works (and because for some reason C# is loaded after GDscript, and I really wish I didn't need to do that in GDscript
Though 4.5 has a PR that should make it possible to update bones before the IK does, so I will try again the FABRIK code then, and I doubt you will, but if you could share your implementation or at least give me some pointers I'd appreciate it

>>717980581
ahhh the classic godotfag prayer
>if its not in the engine, you dont need it
>if you do need it, do yourself

>>717999367
Make a good game.

>>718001147
but some of the best games were made with off the shelf engines...

>>718000563
Doesn't Godot have a whole inventory system going on that makes it easy using menus?

>>718001256
No..? Not built-in, at least, there might be a public project out there.

I asked over on /3/, but any of you game dev anons know how to bulk enable/disable modifiers?
I want to swap between IK/FK on my characters hands, for example, with just a single action, rather than manually toggling all my modifiers while animating things.

There is zero reason to use Unity or Godot over Unreal

>>718002746
Unreal is bloated - I don't want to download 100GB+ of shit just to open the editor for my game and import my 500mb of low poly models.

>>718002746
unity is much, much easier to do any kind of custom rendering/shaders with
also msaa

I love using Godot, but sometimes it's overwhelming how little it advocates for any specific structure.

With Unreal it's very clear that you are mean to use inheritance following it's own pattern of actor > pawn > character, and then bolt on components for additional functionality. It has a very clear structure and way of passing data between actors with a mix of structs, interfaces and casting. So there is a fairly rigid structure, but the experience of using these interconnected systems is so menu based and obnoxious. I hate having to hunt around through blueprint components to remember where a certain function is stored.

With Godot it's just nodes and scipts and you are free to implement whatever architecture you want. It's very freeing! But then what is the best way to manage your game architecture? Who knows! Half the tutorials out there are just Unity devs trying to port their Unity prefab style approach over to Godot. Then there are the guys obsessed with modularity and instead of having a simple player controller with one or two scripts, you've got 16 scripts and component nodes that you've got to track the behavior and interconnected references of! Do I really need a component to capture mouse input and then propogate it into a camera controller component which then passes the camera rotation up to the player to orient their transform? Is all this separation really helping anyone? All because we don't want to have too big of a script?

I'm so confused half the time thinking about how to optimially organize my code between inheritence, nodes, custom classes, child classes, and where to reference versus signal versus use a singleton that I'm spending very little time coding the actual game!

Is anyone here interested in making a Disco Elysium-like? I already have the story outline, but am too busy on my main project to program it.

Why? That's the Special collectable of the game. Pretty much every Collectathon type game does this for the main collectable. Banjo Kazooie, every 3D Mario, Donkey Kong Bananza/64, Kiwi 64, a Hat in Time. It's a staple of the genre. It's the fanfare for collecting "the thing," whatever that thing may be.

>>718004070
ayo what happened with animal crossin i aint been around fo a minute

made this visual effect, per-object motion trails. It's a work in progress right now. I already have a few ideas for how I'll use it for my current game as well as in my next game

current game, won't say how, it's a secret. Next game, it'll be as a power up aura or something along those lines (the effect has a lot more flexibility and parameters than what is shown in the webm)

>>718003090
I'm a Godot dev, and this is actually a big problem. I had to develop my own hierarchy philosophy because the engine does not endorse any. Currently I settled on using static C# functions whenever a node needs to call a parent and making sure those nodes are singletons. I wish I knew this when starting my previous projects.

Finishing games is really easy. Most of the people don't know how to start small. Eventually you start to realise your own strong points and for example hook up with someone who wants to write dialogue or lore for a small game and go from there.

>>718004830
button is working. Way they are done is that they expect to receive a Node3D and a function name, and when pressed they call that function on that Node3D, so I can use buttons with doors, moving platforms, traps or whatever. I also made it so it's not instantly pressed but you have to stay on top for a very brief moment, think it feels better that way. Next up is making the button release again once the player leaves it or even after a timer has run out. Also want to look into moving the camera elsewhere when the button's pressed so the player can see what is being activated.

>>718004539
The approach I've sort of fallen into is this:

An EventBus singleton and a Globals singleton for managing key references / signals

A blend of inheritance and composition. I make base classes for things like Character, Player, Enemy, NPC, inheriting key things that are shared between them. For instance, if I have a base Character Class that Player, Enemy and NPC inherit from, and I decide I want all characters to have a Sensory Component later in development, I can quickly add one to the Character class and now all my classes can "see / hear" other entities and hold the proper references / functions needed to use the component.

I try to use the "call down / signal up" pattern, but find myself trying to avoid situations where I have to tie up too many signals. I do use singals more with the EventBus.

Within this structure you can really still get too convoluted. A lot of people swear by Resources as the data glue between all these entities, but it can get overboard too... like having a Hitbox component that checks for Attack collisions, then then have a custom AttackData resource that gets generated by a WeaponClass that is managed by a WeaponManager, that injects AttackData Resource into the Weapon which is passed to the Hitbox via collision which then signals up to the StatsManager of the receiving entity which removes health! It's crazy!

Lots of good indie dev's have posted here - most just stop actively posting gamedev stuff AFTER having achieved some level of success.

Yeah I imagine a lot of those guys are still here but stopped posting. They see pretty much everything you write about them. Hell, I'm not a very well known dev but I still see people bring me up sometimes. Usually it's some schizo on aggy seething about something stupid but still.

Well since you asked. I updated animancer and it broke some lower body animations unfortunately, I will try to fix soon. The combat system is based on mordhau rather than rollslop. Also armors are procedural

I tried to do an offshoot of my game but with porn and it turns out the porn game was more fun than my main project in every regard... What do you know.

>>718018976
you need to either blend the attack and walk animations, or lock the player in place when attacking (I prefer this one, gives more weight and meaning to the attacks). Aside from that, holy damn dude that looks pretty nice.

>>718019378
it used to work but I updated unity version and animancer and it broke

>>718003090
>you are free to implement whatever architecture you want
Not really - you are still stuck with an OOP paradigm where your nodes carry both code and data. It's messy.
If you want to do data-driven shit, then you need to throw out most of the node+scenes ssytems and use something like an ECS framework and have your system interacting directly with Godot servers. And at this point, you are better off with something else than Godot.

It's a great engine for small-scale projects, prototyping, and indies devs who want an alternative from Unity, but it's far from being the killer game engine to kill all the other game engines.

>>717980289
Treat it as a phase. You learning Godot now. Than when you feel like, completely switch to blender and just learn it without touching Godot. I felt like I have no choose so I just yolo'd it. It will help settle and think about all what you'v learned in Godot too. Than when you feeling confidant you just can juggle both as you wish.

WHEEEEEEEL OF TIMEEEEEEEEE

>>718020038
I hope you can develop better than you write in English.
In any case, programming is not the same as making assets. I'll leave you to find out on your own.

>>717961675 (OP)
Not very good. Had medical issues and real life get in the way of all my hobbies so had to put game making away. I was going to try to make it 3D but I decided to do 2D so I don't have to learn rigging/weight paiting atm. Also ran in the issue that I don't really know who the main character for the game should. I want to make a game where you interact with furry waifus but was not sure if should try to make a human protag or use a fox or just say fuck it and have a furry waifu chasing after the other furry waifus

>>718019454
animancer is so good

>>717993853
Animal Well could have been made in Unity or Godot without issue. No reason to do all the extra lifting unless you're legitimately just interested in the act of programming an engine which is fine.

>>718021872
>Animal Well could have been made in Unity or Godot without issue
lol no

>>718021872
>>718022031
Now that I think of it yeah, having its own engine prevented datamining which other schizocore games suffer from.

>>718022031
lol yes

>>717980289
>see you when your entire game's programmed and now you have to make all the assets
It's always been the polar opposite for me.
I end up doing tons of sprites / models / backdrops, even looking up sweet audio effects and music pieces, and always crash when it comes time to actually start coding anything.

>>718023254
>>717980289
Meanwhile I'm the third position. I bounce back and forth between assets and code, always making placeholders and partially completed systems.
Polishing something to it's final version is my nightmare.

>>718022031
I dont know about Godot, but in Unity you can build your own engine/framework inside of it and ignore almost all of their standard packages.
Obviously at that point you might as well make your own engine, but it's possible.

hey everyone, so I'm working on the steam page trailer right now. Is vid rel decent enough to give the idea that driving/racing on a hover kart is a thing in the game??
Most of the trailer is taken from actual gameplay, but the racing system still needs work. And I don't wanna explicitly show all of the side stuff and mini games in the trailer

>>718005976
I'll post my shaders whenever I want to, thanks.

>>718026364
>I'm working on the steam page trailer
>the racing system still needs work
I think you should check your priorities. Why make a trailer when there are still improvements to be made? Don't rush!

>>718026364
Might want to show at least a little bit of an actual race from the player's perspective, racing against opponents, a goal in sight, that kind of thing. Without any other context this could just be a cutscene in some other kind of game.
Looks pretty good though

>>718026364
>Is vid rel decent enough to give the idea that driving/racing on a hover kart is a thing in the game??
yes... cause that's the only thing you are showing in that video... Do you have more maps or modes? if not then don't bother making a steam page yet

>>718021608
should have catbox'd it
>I want to make a game where you interact with furry waifus but was not sure if should try to make a human protag or use a fox or just say fuck it and have a furry waifu chasing after the other furry waifus

if you want furry cash, furry char

>>718026602
the racing system needs work in the sense that I don't have UI yet.
>>718026647
thanks, but one of the things I don't wanna do is explicitly show all of the side content (so far, three playable arcade machines, racing, an explorable FPS dungeon, an FPS shooting section, whack a mole, puzzles, and more)
>>718026668
more maps and models? yeah. the video I posted is something I threw together a few hours ago explicitly for the trailer.

webm related is old, btw. like 3 months. everything in it has improved since then

>>718026945
hope you've fixed the jank on that word wrapping during dialogue. Aside from that, I love the look of your game man, quite cool.

>>718026945
If you don't want to show all the minigames, you might want to show that other minigames exist. For example, if the trailer has you looking around the arcade where you can see other arcade machines, you can pick one to focus on.

>>718026945
oh its you. yeah showcase your game entirely in your trailer, avoid taking screenshot in the same scene twice.
also your game looks like you are in a dream, pretty cool

>>718027056
thanks. dialogue is on the backburner right now since there isn't a ton of it. wrapping is cus I stupidly did the "align center" thing with text. Kinda debating spending $$$ on an asset, but I want all of the code in the game to be mine. Right now, the only thing I didn't make are all of the models, where I'm about 66% purchased, 33% made by me in blender.
>>718027107
I'll try that, thanks.
>>718027238
thanks. I'm trying to find a balance of surreal and dreamy, and somewhat grounded in reality
but yeah, I'll try showing a bit more in the trailer, but I'd still like for there to be some surprises

buttons are done! we got:
>normal button
>button that releases the moment the player leaves it
>button that releases on a timer
>option to lock the camera on whatever happens when you press the button, either instantaneously or with a tween
that sure took a while, only problem was with the timer, as I had to make sure it stops when interacting with any other entity (npcs, chests) and that it's destroyed when interacting with the element it's tied on: for example, removing the timer when crossing a door which is open on a timer. Cool thing is that the code ended up quite nice plus I can reuse all this stuff for the levers, which I'll be working on up next.
>>718027841
I have the wrapping sorted out on my game. Was as simple as manually breaking the lines with \n before the typewritting starts, taking into account font-size, spacings and available space.

>>718021608

>I have the wrapping sorted out on my game. Was as simple as manually breaking the lines with \n before the typewritting starts, taking into account font-size, spacings and available space.
thanks, I'll try something like that when I get around to reworking dialogue. Right now it's just whatever font size TMPro is set to, and then it does the type effect.
Only "big" thing it has is it'll ignore tags like < and > for changing text color

aw shit, first I hear about that. Are they also going to attack conventional gambling? Bet they won't, the cowards.

>>718032067
There's a kernel of truth to it.
You don't need to know how to code before getting into this as a hobby. If you learn as you go and actually make things, you'll retain all that stuff a lot better than just reading a book that you don't understand from practical standpoint.

However unless you're making a small Just learn the basic basics (variables, if/elses, loops), use that to make some stuff, then once you feel sufficiently proficient, is a good time to study up a bit more to iron out gaps in your knowledge.

another day of opening the project in the morning, and closing it at midnight, with zero changes made inbetween

>are you from agdg?
I was very active there around 2023 (DD50) but not anymore. I believe that place has gone to shit since then, so I don't post there anymore. Never was into Discord, I used it for some time and noticed it was taking a lot of my time.
>did you code your own inventory system?
yeah! It helped me to learn about custom Resources in Godot. Working on it was a little bit boring, but I was happy to be able to add a spinning 3D model which imho every game should have.
>did you code your own inventory system?
lol that's an oddly cute little fella. Have you made the model? It's great! Love that texturing work.

>>718012732

No. It looks cute, but I need to see gameplay first. My steam wishlist is bloated enough as it is.

>>718033321
the agdg discord is chill and people are super helpful, i think most active agdgers moved there since shitposters and nodevs ruined the threads.
i made guglielmo a few years ago when the voices were particulary loud. the model has been sitting there since because i didnt make him any animations and im focusing on low fantasy assets rn

yeah, probably the most sane option. would dictate some of the quality parameters.

>>718034139
>would be much more fun too if you had to do a tiny minigame where you held down to pour and didn't have an accurate reading of how much it was
lol, I like that. You would be forced to measure with cups and glasses until you are able to afford one of picrel. But if it were me I'd leave that for last, once all the other systems related to this are in place.
>>718034267

>id love to have you too on discord but i understand that its very distracting

In any case I hope you keep dropping around here, you sound like a fine anon and your game looks neat.

>>718034483
quite cheap to buy one of those, but even with a measuring jug you'll never be able to be 100% accurate, the quality would always be slightly different which could be interesting

>>718034595
>the quality would always be slightly different which could be interesting
agree. Recipe systems are prone to be victims of the game's wiki page, but adding in the fact that you won't be able to make it perfect will make it more interesting.

i considered it, but the threads are mostly spam unrelated to gamedev by now, and with the massive 4chan limitations on webms its hard to post progress regularly. as far as i know what remains of the agdg community moved to discord years ago so its the main place to be in touch with everyone. anyway i dont want to force you to do anything but you seem like a cool and dedicated anon so good luck with your game

satisfying sounds and mixed sounds like water and wind. so many devs just throw two sounds together that dont harmonise well. some ideas
heels on stone, a looping sliding sound (like apex slide down hill), ice crackling, an arrow hitting wood, a swinging sign, stepping in mud, skeleton walking, wind chimes, and distant thunder.

His models are currently bad in a way that is so bad it's charming, they have an innocence and purity to them, like very early CGI or what a little kid would make out of clay. Actually, he really needs to make the girl's head/face a perfect circle instead of having those weird dimples in it.

>I'd maybe lean more into the precision elements with separate, bonafide sonic speed segments and not mix the two as much
I designed the first level with very few segments that require running. There are 6 times you momentarily need running to 100% the level (4 if you're willing to cheese two spots). As proof, here is me getting the same three Goals as in >>717988462 except this time I don't run at all. The WebM cuts off slightly early on this one to keep it under 4MB, but you get the point. I feel people are mistaken that this is a Sonic type game where you do acrobatics, but I'm designing it with the mindset of a Mario type game where you can run on walls. The running is just another ability in the character's utility belt, it is not the default state for a reason. I understand that people want "go fast" though, so I am trying to give certain safe guards to allow easier access to speed, but it's similar to the old Sonic games. The speed is there, but you have to be good to keep it.

As for the bonafide Sonic Speed segments you suggested, I do plan on similar things in other levels.

I kinda like how the lighting looks.

with portal 2.0 in BF6 being based on Godot allowing a certain level of map editing/manipulation.

Who is a decent source of basic intro courses/videos so I can remake Strike at Karkand using a Seige of Cairo assets week 1.

also if it turns out shit I've been interesting in learning this stuff anyway cause I need a creative hobby

>>718045915
Thanks

>>717961675 (OP)
I don't use godot, but I did finally start programming for my game today. I can move a circle around on the screen. Next step if figuring out how to draw bitmaps so I can move a character around on a background.

>>718045596
What engine are you using?

alright i wanna make a simple card game to boost my resume's project section, how fast can i get it done assuming i dont have coding knowledge at all?

>>718046424
that's a start.

>>718047158
>developing a game for any reason besides passion
You're not gonna make it.
But if you really want to try, Unreal and Gamemaker are the most codelet-friendly engines.

>>718046486
Unity.

>>718047350
ok thanks but ill see if i can get a hang of godot, i prefer to use open source shit

>>717961675 (OP)
Eternal ideaguy as usual

I made a gamejam game over 4 days, stayed up late for it.
Man, realised how FUCKED I am. I make shit so fucking slow and get distracted all the time. I have so many goddamn ideas too I never want to do one thing.
I'm currently concepting ideas for 3 different games at the same time, at this rate these are NEVER coming out :(
I abandoned the GBstudio games atleast...
The most wise decision would be to maybe make a spin-off of my most developed project with what I currently have made.
Ah but then I want to study Anatomy and Animation and 3D Modelling and Music Composition and FUCK
Man, maybe if I wasn't a solo dev and my team members put some sense into me...

>>718048110
That's why it's good to make multiple games, so you can quickly strip code from one project to another, menu system from one, shaders from another, recycling is key.

>>718048110
BOOBA!
3D ain't that hard, just keep at it and it might just click.

I've got a very early start on a 3d game in godot, but it's my first game ever.
Should I put it on the backburner and make something easier like a shitty platformer? I always hear that you shouldn't start with your best idea because you'll probably fuck it up but I don't really want to make anything simpler. I don't feel like I could do an entire game for "practice" and push through the boredom that that would entail

>>718048110
don't get discouraged dude! I started working on a game and then had to stop cause of health issues and plan to get back to it this weekend. Never give!

You can now select armor sets in the main menu of my game (once you found the keys needed to unlock each onec of course).

>>718048476
I tried making a 3D model in the beggining of the year but I couldn't get the weight paint/

>>718049318
You should look into Auto-Rig Pro, makes rigging way less tedious if that's what's holding you back.

finally came back to godot, this time with proper mindset, instead of blindly following up tutorials i found course where guy explains every step, explain why he does that, makes you do chellenges etc, and i must say, proggress in terms of things done is much slower but my understanding and ability to do that by myself is much greater. I also added to that things like: different names for functions or vars so i have to keep track what is what instead of blindly typing from tutorial, and adding extra things on top of what guy from tutorial says. After few weeks i can make some kind of simple mobile slop without following tutorial, last time i tried godot i couldnt do even simplest things by myself so im pretty happy

>>717982154
The blonde one is my wife now, thanks

>>718049727
Thanks dude. I think it was a mix of everything, I took my vacation week and used it to make a 3d model from scratch in Blender, UV unwrap, rig, weight paint and export it to Unity and I kind of managed to do all of that but I commited mistakes in each of the steps that slowly became a snowball at the end. The model was still usable but it was low quality.

>>717962748
Any name for the game?

>BF6 was made in Godot
so what's your fucking excuse noDevs?

>>718050253
MOUSE SEXOOOOOO. If she's in 3D, not just rendered images, in the game I'd buy your untitled game

>all these creative and cool games
>meanwhile I'm just cranking out enough effort to toss out a generic porn game

I always had the ability to do it just never bothered to start, the thing that drove me over the edge was seeing someone making like 2,000$ on jewtreon monthly for some mediocre hentai game and I was like "huh. I can do this. Like...with not much effort besides just putting in time"

And it's coming along fine. Give it to me straight, anons, what is my roadblock here? A part of me thinks this is too good to be true. If I shit out my porn game and keep people hooked with the usual monthly updates am I just going to rake in easy $$$$? because it sure seems that's what others are doing and I have the skills to do it too.

I kinda fear my stopping point will not be the game itself but exposure. Like how do I get people to even notice my patreon once its up and start tossing $$ at me? Not like I can spam /v/ threads to give it attention and it's not like I have a way to beam a message right into everyone's head about it. I'm worried how I'll be able to spread the word. Right now I'm not starting shit up money wise until I have a long enough build to get people hooked on it.

>>718050459
Thanks. I was thinking of making a 2D game first because I found hard to made a 3D model that I would think it's fapable. I do 2D animation and stuff so it's not impossible, just hard work.
If I could make a rig on the level of MSplashDoggy's work I would male a 3D game first.

>>718012732
>the cum thing and sex was just a joke
I will no longer play your game

>>718050808
The secret is to not make a porn game. Have the waifus, have the coombait, but don't make it explicit. That's how Helltaker succeeded.

>>718050885
just the "gameplay" videos, me wanting to have sex with her was never a joke

>>718051092
very nice pic, while I can appreciate your lust for bun, it's still a shame the sexo gameplay won't be present. I prefer my sexo to be merged with gaming. Best of both worlds combined.

just pull a harmarist and make it an optional patch

I spent my vacation time doing fuck all and just lazing around playing Vidya. I'm more productive on my game when i'm at work since no one's ever at the office and I have no work left so I feel guilty and start working on my game out of a sense of duty. I feel like I should get a streaming setup just to force myself into working on it since it would make me feel guilty for not working on it on stream, something like that.

I fucking hate making cutscenes so much but I love the end product of them, it's a complicated dilemma. Have some filler footage.

>>718012732
>3d platformer
>big empty world
im tired of caring about the genre.

>>718051174
Honestly, this is pretty cool. It reminds me of Gunbound but in 3D and with more details.

>>718051172
no, then the sex is just ducktaped and has no effect on the game.
I already have a game planed for later that will have bunny sexo but I needed to learn godot first.

>>718051319
its so fucking joever bros... not like this

>>718051664
>additional accessories
like a fucking controller? just say controller

>grind out 40 tutorials for Gamemaker, RPGMaker, etc
>realize i still don't know how to tackle the thing I grinded tutorials for

>>718051852
that makes no sense

>>718051852
just make things and ask an AI for help when you get stuck.

its much faster than trying to find the right tutorial or reading smug smelly redditor comments that don't even help.

>>718051092
My desire to cum on this rabbit is immense. Too bad the game isn't porn, might still be worth playing for a half chub

>>718051938
>and ask an AI for help when you get stuck.
which AI would actually help with an overly specific question? just drop it into google and ask gemini?

>>718052010
dont ask ai, try to fix it by yourself, look into godot docs, try to find something on leddit etc, it teaches you something instead of giving straight answer from bot

>>718052010
I use gpt grok and gemini, if one gives you a retarded answer just try with another one.
dont ask it to code directly tho,
ask things like, what method in gamemaker does x thing? or whats the correct sintax for this thing, shit like that, its much faster than trying to find the answer in google or the documentation.

>>718052127
>try to find something on leddit
ew thats the worst part, thats why I switched to asking AI, half of the answers are just uuruurrmmm why would you wanna do that??????? I fucking hate redditors

>every guide I view for specific coding always goes hyper autistic on organization and documentation
>I just unga bunga everything and let it become spaghetti code
Not my problem. Code runs fine, everything works. future me can fuck off

>>717961675 (OP)
I haven't made any significant in 2 weeks, just some minor bugfixes and improvements.
I need to get back on the grind.

>>718052207
i found that if i fuck around internet or docs in search of answer, try few different thing or maybe try different aproach i will remember something, also it helps with overall abilities of solving problems. For me straight answer is missing the point, so when im learning something im trying to avoid temptation of using ai

>>718052613
I try to solve as much as I can without it but sometimes you just gotta write shit in a specific way cuz thats what the engine wants, and Godot documentation was awful, it was a mix of godot 3 and 4 code, instead of banging my head agaisnt the desk I just asked AI what the proper sintax was for conecting signals for example.
