Making games is so hard when you don't know what you're doing

I have now implemented the MOST important feature into my game, opening and closing bathroom stalls:

Your hourly portion of Israeli war crimes. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've just built now the very basic scraps of the overworld arcade, scene transitions, y-sort, movement, music, etc. into my game. I'm decently content with how it looks and feel myself learning well.

I’ve started to wake up early before work and do my game dev stuff in the morning, but what has happened now is if I don’t find a good spot to end I just refuse to stop working. So currently I am 30 minutes late to work today, I gotta start setting limits on myself lol.

I got the tileset established, and the player animation/movement in place, next up is collision and making extra screens :)

I spent forever looking for a free top-down 2D arcade tilesets, and I really couldn’t find anything. But in my head I always envisioned it looking Pokemon-esque, soooo I just ripped a tilemap someone made online of the Celadon Game Corner in HGSS and I think this will do the job.

I finished my first 2D Game tutorial in Godot! I myself added the near miss mechanics cause I thought it'd make the game a little more interesting. I also adjust the hitboxes cause they were a bit unforgiving I feel.

I'm starting to get pissed off at the Problem Sets in the CS50x class I'm taking. They're starting to give us like 90% of the code, and just asking us to make some functions here and there and a lot of the time just completely disregarding what the actual lecture that given week was on. Like for...

I’ve decided to start working on my first project alongside my learning of Godot. I figure that unless I have a “homework” assignment to apply my lessons too I won’t retain much or find utility in the tutorials I do.

Just finished this GDScript intro course, I’m 3 weeks from finishing CS50x, progress is being made 😌 Before I know it I’ll have some BS on itch.io, who knows.

Just received my APWOT books, can’t wait to read them.

You won't have to bide your time much longer... #StrayChildren is coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam in just FIVE more days! Wishlist it on Steam right now! 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3649490/...

I’ve been doing this GDScript tutorial by GDQuest called “GDScript from zero”. It’s like an in-browser app made from Godot that teaches basics of its scripting language. I’m about done with it though and I honestly feel like I’ve barely learned anything useful or novel about GDscript. So maybe…

​BREAKING: Today, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum opened all 1.56 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s Coastal Plain to oil and gas leasing. These lands are sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, home to irreplaceable wildlife and wilderness, and have never seen industrialization.

In regard to why I decided to do this? One of my earliest fondest memories as a kid is when I got a Gamecube with Mario Party for Christmas when I was 4. Following that I think most of the most memorable moments of my childhood were always defined by games. Even as a kid all the time I'd dream...

This is a list of all the resources I've found so far that I've put together. Currently I'm going through CS50, the Godot Manual, and GDScript. I went to college for Electrical Engineering but I never really picked up good programming foundational skills and I think having those are going to be...

I've started, as of September 29th, learning programming and Godot to fulfill my dream of becoming a game designer. I wanted to track my journey here as a bit of a live journal.

New post from Togashi on Twitter / X

My last run was so scrumptious. New PB!

The Boy in Angel's Egg I think is an all time design for me. This dude just looks so drippy...

Togashi… where are you… we miss you…

There needs to be a study done on the correlation between it raining in NYC and there being dog poop in the middle of the sidewalk, cause I swear it exists.

Any FFXIV-ers on the bsky have any takes on Dawntrail patches? Ima tap in to 7.1/.2 this weekend and I’m curious what the vibes are like.

There’s this thing in the Deltarune trailer and new press images that indicate that Chapter 4 is going to take place in the Church, and I couldn’t be more excited for this.

I came to a realization the other night while replaying MH4U Low Rank that this is probably one of the best games ever. So Ima do this for now, I feel this is right.

I’ve been addicted to the Deltarune Ch 3/4 trailer for the past week… Toby… ARIGATOOOOO

TOBY I KNOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING FOR ME!!!!!!

Pretty sure the Switch 2 Direct was probably like one of the best gaming showcases in the past couple year, probably even the best one this decade wow.

SILKSONG IS REAAALLLLL

Looks like Nintendo is taking all that Super Mario Wonder energy into everything they’re making now. Love to see such focus on creativity!

The developer commentary in Sly Cooper is one of the best little rewards I’ve seen in a game for 100%-ing it.

I’ve been replaying Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and I just beat the final boss of Low Rank last night, and I am amazed at how well this game holds up.

This game man... it's special...

ENA: Dream BBQ store.steampowered.com/app/2134320/... Do you like simply walking around a surreal world and seeing the best and most insane animation you've ever seen in your life. I do. I was smiling ear to ear playing this game. Also it's free. Enjoy.

This is such a testament to like the beauty of art period. I only barely was able to comprehend a few things of what this may have all meant, but what you're here for is not some grand meaning but an exhibition and display of sheer skill and talent in the craft of creation.

Bluesky, I just started END Dream BBQ, and this is better than I could ever possibly imagine.

Gente, miren esta hostia cósmica

Everything is just so wonderful

My toxic take is that I don’t want to hear MHWilds opinions from anyone who hasn’t at least played MH4U and MHWorld Iceborne.

TobyFox should totally capitalize and release a C3/4 trailer for Deltarune in like the next week or two haha lol 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

I be waking up lately just thinking “I wish I was a game designer…”

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Y’shtola being the XIV rep in this picture is SOOOOO sauceless. I’m pretty sure this is from Dissidia but I need them to eventually just start putting the Meteor on here dawg.

UNDERTALE is on sale for $1. If you're a bluesky user who hasn't played this game - now is the best time to join the other 99% of people on this website and pick it up. store.steampowered.com/app/391540/U...
