#core-mechanics-challenge is around the corner. Get ready :D You can submit your theme, features and other suggestions here, my stream, discord.. anywhere! Theme voting will begin around Wednesday. itch.io/jam/core-mec...

Making CCG #game using #godot. Went for Event Sourcing. After talking to GPT, it suggested having RuleEngine that returns Array[Event]. Then you just apply those events. After some struggles and more questions I went for RuleEngine.on_event(event, game_state) -> Event. And how you do it, #gamedev?

A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

Found one issue with general event sourcing: I can not pick a card from a deck, then shuffle, then pick more as it requires actually to apply "DeckShuffled" event before. Will make it "reactive" and apply events one by one so it could produce more events if needed.

Today I wrapped up the core phase loop for my robot CCG: Init → Draw → Planning → Aftermath → Upkeep → Draw All powered by event sourcing — super flexible and already paying off. Adding and tweaking phases is fast and painless. Really satisfying to see the architecture decisions click this early 🚀

Starter Kit Racing for @godotengine.org has been updated! Now includes support for motorcycles, dynamic zoom, collision sounds & optimization and overall script improvements and project clean-up! github.com/KenneyNL/Sta... (MIT License, assets CC0)

Dino complaining again! - @godotengine.org decides to change the UID on some files, fails! Now nothing works and some classes can not be found! - Dino struggles for 10 minutes! 😠 Then reloads the #godot. - Godot finishes changing the UIDs and now everything works! I love Godot, but sometimes ... 😱

New #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam page is up and already indexed! itch.io/jam/core-mec... Please share and join! TODO: need to improve on the page! Any suggestions?

Now I need to replay it! Think I have one on GoG.

I wana! Don't know why yet and where would I use it, but I wana!

I've just found my new best favorite feature in #Godot Finally, can put FileSystem and see EVERYTHING 😈

I think ChatGPT is very helpful to build nice architecture! And also very nice in worsening your scope creep! Especially with suggestion it does in the end like: "If you'd like, I can also show you one of the most useful patterns for turn-based multiplayer games" ...

Lexispell (Free Demo): Strategy meets physics, in this roguelike word game, where you combine spelling with cool upgrades to score high mreliptik.itch.io/lexispell

The more I talk to LLM the more I think of them as a rubber duck! I just produce architectural ideas and raise my concerns and then figure and rate them out. Helps to structure thoughts in your head. Now I see clearer how I want my game code to be.

Participated at @jackiecodes.bsky.social game-jam with Overkane. By the results of it it looks like we took 2nd place on Gameplay/Fun category (along with 6 other participants), which is the most important category! You can try it here: dinocrys.itch.io/signal-exter... It's multiplayer

New Starter Kits for @godotengine.org are coming! Once the two new ones are released I'll start updating older ones from Godot 4.5 to 4.6! ✨ #gamedev kenney.nl/starter-kits

#core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam is over! If you have any feedback or comments please share them! I would be happy to hear all of them (here, discord, pm etc.)! Also, there is communities topic for it: itch.io/jam/core-mec...

Very good advice for when you really wanna do a thing, but are afraid. <3

Made a short video with a simplified explanation for my new freeze effect. nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #godotengine #gamedev #shaders #pixelart

#core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam is OVER! The winner is: trickylady.itch.io/pondemonium Just pretend that fish is a tank 😉 (somehow game obeys all the requirements! 😱)

Playing and judging #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam games! And how are you doing? 👋

We would love to welcome @mikeklubnika.bsky.social, developer of Buckshot Roulette and s.p.l.i.t, as a new development fund member, joining as a Corporate Platinum sponsor 💙 This is a major contribution and it helps us to continue developing the Godot Engine for everyone. Thank you!

Quick preview of the modular sci-fi kit which will release on Sunday, for free. It's the first time I've included a texture (for the floor) in my 3D #gameassets and it really makes a difference, it'll be integrated in the colormap - so it's still all 1 material/texture! 🎉

#core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam submission closed! We had 9 submissions and 50+ joiners (absolute record)! One submission was spam - I disqualified it and reported 😱 You can check and vote on submissions now: itch.io/jam/core-mec... At the last day of voting I will be counting final score!

#core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam is ending. Less then 1 hour left! I've updated judging criteria. Hope now they are more simple and shorter. Good luck! (I did not finish 😭, but will try to make nice AI state machine)

After FINAL vote on discord for #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam extending it again for 24h! But this is final! Please try to submit whatever you have now and just use this time for bug fixes and polishing! Good luck! (I guess I will be able to finish some AI for my version ...)

#core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam got extended for 24 hours per community vote. Tomorrow voting again, but for the last time 😅

As per tradition 😅 #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam vote for extending it by 2 or 24 hours is in progress in discord! (I know that some would want to extend by 1 week 😆, but that is too much!) And don't forget to git commit, push and make your repo public!

Learned today godot NavigationServer3D and managed to make it work for #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam With navigation path and after also made it move! Maybe I will even finish game this time :)

And the last optional feature for #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam is: (medium) Have 3+ mechanically different power ups! Don't forget to git commit! Good luck! P.S. I have no power ups in my game yet :(

Final optional feature voting for #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam just started! This, likely, will be the final vote for an optional feature like that! Next time, will try to think something else! More fun and more random!

Small update to my fonts! Added kerning for Characters T and F as the gaps were sticking out a bit too much. nojoule.itch.io/font-pack #pixelart #fonts #gamdev

New optional feature for #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam is: Pausing With State Freeze (medium difficulty). Note to my future self: think something better of optional feature game jam mechanic (voting does not feel any good)

Today will be voting for new Optional Additional Feature for #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam. Those are not mandatory, but can provide you with extra points. Initial goal of them is to make you change your code, adapt, learn and have fun!

Sharing my Battle City #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam progress. Looks funny. Enemy moves completely random 😆

I'm continuing my Battle City version today! You also can join and create your own for #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam

After long voting #gamejam theme for #core-mechanics-challenge was decided: Battle City - Top-down tank combat! Good luck to all! And remember... Commit early, commit often!

Selecting #gamejam theme for #core-mechanics-challenge Voting as soon as first pack is ready! This should be FUN! (still sick 🤒 )

Just a reminder: #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam is starting in a week! We already have 22 participants! HUGE! 😍 We will vote on the Game to make shortly before the jam starts! (still did not make description of it very nice, sorry! 😭) Meantime - new game! Board Game about building robots!

New #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam announced! This time, theme AND optional features will be voted by community! Also, will try to improve overall description to make it less confusing (less text - more pictures). Please join! itch.io/jam/core-mec...

#core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam submission time is over! Now the voting begins! (I'm scared!)

There is a vote happening in discord if #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam should be increased by X amount of hours :) But in any case, try to create a project on itch.io and submit now. You can update your game infinite amount of times until submission period ends.

As per usual, "tradition" #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam will be extended! This time it is 24h to polish and fix whatever you have left, figure out how to build and upload your game to itch.io, prepare and make your git public. Good luck to all and to me (I have not finished my game too :))

Managed to watch Veritasium video about batteries. It has an ad about Code Reviews. Like developers now code faster with new tools and AI, but code reviews slow the process. Now I'm wondering will AI actually help with it? Especially when code is written with AIs help? 19th minute of the video.

Final optional feature arrived for #core-mechanics-challenge #gameJam. It's "More levels" for x3 points. I'm working on it too, btw. Flexible abilities are always the pain :) You can join me: twitch.tv/dinocrys
