Coming soon on this #Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev #Solodev - stop player rotating when stationary, add a gun that follows the mouse

Still ill but had some energy to #Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev Decided to stay in 2D but go out of my comfort zone and try a Vampire Survivors type game in #Godot4 inspired by a video - have had to figure out a couple of things myself but am happy with results

Uh oh

#Godot #GodotEngine #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieDev Quite intense today as I’ve hurt my finger but decided to Godot anyway. This gamedev.tv course by Kaan Alpar is awesome because it breaks down GDScript in a much easier way for me. Also another small game (Metroidvania)

#Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev update! Decided I need to follow advice and make more 2D tiny games to really get good at Godot. Originally had written off this course but have come back to it to get better at scripting. Really enjoying understanding more. Here is Speedy Saucer!

So I thought id be clever and copy the Godot 3 project and then upgrade it to Godot 4 and that didn’t work either, argh #GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #SoloDev

#Godot #GodotEngine #Solodev #IndieDev #GameDev Been doing an FPS, and I did a little of it in Godot 3 and I *really* liked the crunchy psx pixel aesthetic. I’ve tried to do a similar thing in Godot 4, and notice it doesn’t look as good. Any ideas what I should do to change this?

#Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev Finished Frogger as part of this #Udemy course, have also branched out to another course purely for curiosity’s sake - learning some new stuff, which I think will work for #StarAllVampires I love the lighting effects!

Funny thing I find about #Godot #GodotEngine is I actively look forwards to being able to work on it, mess around on it, watch tutorials in my spare time when I don’t have access to a pc - I never got any of this with Unreal Engine

#Godot #GodotEngine #SoloDev #IndieDev #GameDev Making more progress, Frogger game is actually somewhat playable and I’m getting the hang of signals and layers. Have even messed around with another course about Godot 3, solely because I’m a bit of a completionist sort. More soon!

Another #SoloDev #IndieDev #Gamedev update using #Godot #GodotEngine for a #Udemy course Player is now animated and you get a congratulations message in the debug when you get to the goal. I’m also working hard to try and do the challenges - failing a lot, but always learning!

#IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev #Godot #GodotEngine Annoyed at projects where I’ve realised that I may have jumped too far in complexity (where I’m blindly copying code rather than understanding it) I’m understanding #GDScript better in smaller games such as this WiP Frogger 🚧 🐸 🚧 in this Udemy course

This year’s pumpkin carving #kpopdemonhunters #pumpkin #halloween #pumpkincarving

I would make my dream ImSim that combines elements of Postal 2, Cruelty Squad, Vampire Hunter D, and things from folklore and fairy tales

#GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine I’ve tried to make a weapon handler script similar to what I’ve done before, however both guns are still visible (only weapon_1, the pistol, should be visible). Both weapons have canvas layers - what is the correction? Any ideas?

#Godot #GodotEngine update #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev We have a working shotgun now. I have a lot of other things I wish to add, it’s been a learning experience about tutorials, best practice, and solving errors. All part of the journey eh?

100% this advice. First add the core systems and make them work. Then polish them.

You ever get stuck in the #gamedev “this has to be perfect” rather than go for “I’ll make it workable and fix it later” #indiedev #solodev #godot #godotengine

#SoloDev #IndieDev #Gamedev update using #Godot #GodotEngine Inspired by “don’t try to be perfect, just make it work first” I’ve adapted an online Godot 3 tutorial for Godot 4 a bit, we now have a muzzle flash, the gun animates when firing, and the enemy has an animation upon dying

#Godot #GodotEngine question: does anyone have a link to either a tutorial or message board where they address how to make a 2D sprite change from various player points of view (just like in Doom) but -also- uses AnimationPlayer and AnimationTree? I ask because the sprites I have aren’t in a sheet

I’ve signed up to makeship solely for this

#Gamedev #SoloDev #IndieDev update using #Godot #GodotEngine Enjoying the challenge of doing this. Have replaced player guns with the 90s fingerless gloves. Enemy disappears once he runs out of health from you shooting him. Will add more animations and other things soon!

I crocheted a bear. Isn’t he adorable?!

Embrace your shitty MS Paint skills and stop using AI for your placeholders.

#Godot #GodotEngine update! We now have an animated enemy that walks towards us, and the player has a gun (doesn’t fire - yet). I see some of the textures I’ve been using load nicely and look nice on some parts of the 3D but bad in some others - any ideas? #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

#Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDev #SoloDev #Gamedev It’s been a while, and I’ve flip-flopped a bit, but I think I’m finally coming out of #TutorialHell

Big opportunity at the Godot subreddit 👀 #GodotEngine #indiedev #StopTheIdeasGuy

Anyone else still using Godot 3? I kind of missed out on switching to 4 a few years ago when I was still learning Godot, and by now 3 just feels so cozy and perfect to work with for me. Knowing that it will also still be supported in the future is cool too #gamedev #GodotEngine

Is having difficulty deciding what game engine to use, and which version of said game engine to use, and difficulty finding correct types of tutorials, all a normal part of the hobbyist game development process? #Gamedev #Solodev #IndieDev #Godot

Anyone still using Godot 3 #Godot #GodotEngine just curious

#Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDev #SoloDev #Gamedev update! Having had some half-hearted experiences recently I decided to plunge into an FPS relying a bit on a tutorial but then adding my own spin on it. I think a 2.5D FPS will be more realistic to put together. Using assets from Duke Nukem 3D

After what happened when Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas broke, and now #Godot doesn’t display properly unless you select compatibility mode, does anyone else regret ever buying #AMD ? #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

AMD Drivers Go Brrrrr #Godot #GameDev

Nothing quite like settling down to do some #Godot and then seeing the latest essential update from either Windows or AMD has made mesh instances invisible and causes stupid colour problems on a 3D scene in older versions of Godot

Finally deactivated my old twitter account and deleted the app! Here to stay, love the support I get with #Godot and chat I get about #Gamedev #IndieDev #Solodev

I was liking the idea of using a Duke Nukem 3D sprite sheets for a #2.5D FPS but all the sprite sheets online I’ve found are a bit all over the place - am I better getting a #pixelartist to make a new set of new ones? Weapons would be similar #Gamedev #Solodev #IndieDev

Random #gamedev #indiedev #solodev musing - I think my initial want to make a 3D game in #Godot was too great in scope. Then it just hit me - why not do a #2.5D game? Could use crunchy pixel graphics and come up with something fun. Keeping it small in these early days though 😼😼😼

Another #Gamedev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine update: Enjoying this tutorial though it is a little rough around the edges in places. Really getting into Godot, and appreciating its simplicity. Character has a death animation, and can break the crate with his lil sword.

Found the old FPS tutorial in the #Godot documents for Godot 3.3 - it was the type of thing I have always wanted to make with those types of features but aarghhh they stopped providing things like this in the documents 😿😿😿

#GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev update using #Godot #GodotEngine Decided to start clearing through some #Udemy stuff. I like this one so far as it’s showing me a slightly different way of doing 2D compared to what I’m used to. Getting quite into 2D gamedev right now!

#Gamedev #IndieDev #SoloDev update using #Godot #GodotEngine Having watched a lot of @juniperdev.bsky.social videos the other day I was inspired to make smaller games, such as this 2D one by @brackeys.com , and I see where my GDScript weaknesses are. Expect more updates like this!

Went to A&E last night but I’m still alive! Can’t train or weight life for 10 days so extra time for #Godot might even give that new #UE5 course a shot from gamedev.tv as it’s apparently better than the last one I couldn’t finish?

Been making a hack and slash platformer game in #Godot #GodotEngine and I’m having a lot of fun, realising I know more about #Godot than I think I do. Our player character is fully animated and what level he is on determines whether he has a sword equipped.

Using a template in #Godot - good idea or bad idea? I was under the impression it would be a good idea, as engines like UE5 have templates (which I think are great for beginners), but I see some people don’t rate using templates in #Godot that much? What do you think?

Downloaded and have started crunching through the #GDQuest #LearnGDScript app and I’m really learning a lot - have hit a plateau and think a concepts-based learning approach will benefit me a lot #Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

I went to both Manchester #ComicCon and #MegaCon last weekend. I’ll probably just do #Megacon (both days) next year - was good to see that some of the indie developers who had stalls are people who already follow me. Maybe next year I’ll have a chat about #GameEngines etc

I was inspired by “Masters of Doom” to become like John Romero. I wanted to learn how to code and it led me to a gamedev.tv course for Unreal Engine. I had little success with Unreal Engine and crossed to #Godot. Now I do #GameDev with Godot aiming to make my own game
