Man, by "now I can stop thinking about it" I didn't intend that to be "totally forget this idea." I still feel like there's something here, but man I've got 0 ideas on how to make this into a fun idea.

I've learned so many new concepts in the years I've been studying and still feel like I know nothing. I feel there's a great disconnect between experienced and inexperienced game devs. Like adults forgetting what childhood is like, then failing to see why a child doesn't understand life.

Average #gamedev learner thread: Learner: I don't know what kind of game dev concepts would go into this feature. How would I make something like this? Agents of chaos: However you want! 🥰 Evil creatures: RTFM this is your problem Actual heroes: Study these helpful gamedev concepts: X, Y, Z

Do you ever have this wild rush of inspiration for the loose concept of an idea, spend hours cranking out code for it, only to realize you have completely forgotten what the original idea even is because you spent so much time building a feature? The world exists, but for what?

Finally felt a surge of motivation to make some 3D assets. Basic dungeon tiles made with lazy textures/normal maps. #Godot #gamedev #3D

Using simple scaling and/or shear operations, you can achieve so many effects *without* modifying meshes at all. The ceiling light here is being aimed by editing a single component of its basis, and the treasure light is just being squashed vertically. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

I do want to add to this that Gnomes is a 10/10 tower defense game. Best I've played in a while. Loved TD's since the flash era but this is the first truly refreshing change of pace the genre has needed. There's so much more strategy and planning required, yet it's still a simple game.

I just need to stick with my Godot projects since I already know it, but something compels me to learn Rust and try using it for game development. I've been resisting the urge, but seeing 'Gnomes' was made with Rust has totally reignited that spark of desire.

Godot's matrix system makes the flattening effect simple to achieve, for those who are wondering. No render textures or nested nodes required - just one line of code: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/cl...

Anyone more skilled in colors, I'm so open to suggestions here. I used the "Berry Nebula" palette from lospec. It's nice but the more I look at the main color the less I like it. lospec.com/palette-list...

It's taken so long but I finally feel like I have a real asset on my hands. I've redone this one so many times over the last couple weeks trying to get it right. Asset is being made for a game loosely inspired by the gameplay loop of Kingdom: Two Crowns. #gamedev #godot #gameart #pixelart #aseprite

Exactly! Absolutely no pressure, just have fun with it. Don't be afraid to make something held together with duct tape and cardboard, as long as you acknowledge your methods and focus on improvement in the future. Whatever helps lay that foundation.

It's not for everyone, but game jams got me to break through. Sure, I didn't come right out with a triple A hit, but I cannot stress how much jams helped me push myself through the barrier I kept hitting. For me, I think it was the deadline pushing me to get something done. bsky.app/profile/soup...

Two weeks until #BossRushJam2025 starts with a $4000 prize pool! If you are struggling to learn game dev I will always suggest a game jam. It may not help everyone, but it helped me. Pushing myself in my first jam caused so many things to "click" in both #gamedev & #godot itch.io/jam/boss-rus...

Daily Godot Tip #19: print_tree when called in a node prints out the node and all of its children to the console. print_tree_pretty does the same but makes it look more like a graphical representation to make it cleaner docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/cl... #godot #gamedev #godottips

Not doubting you but I'm still not seeing how that would simplify the task. If you have enum State {WALKING, RUNNING}, you're only calling 0 and 1, right? There's no additional data vs a dict where the each key stores the animation, move speed, etc. You still have to define that elsewhere.

100

Soup Wizard @soup-wizard.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

I guess I just have yet to find any reason why I'd need to bother going through typing out 50 variables only to enum through them just to assign int values 0 - 49 to them. Not only does that just seem like bad code, it just doesn't seem more useful than using a for loop to create a dict.

220

Soup Wizard @soup-wizard.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Example: I had to set up a dict where each entry was an array. I set up the dict keys to just be 0 up to the final index of another array for simplicity. I tried it as an enum at first before realizing they only assign a consecutive int value to your dict keys. Why would I not use a for loop?

110

Soup Wizard @soup-wizard.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Genuine question: What is a realistic use-case for enums in gdscript or in general? Try as I might, I can never find a good use for them in any way that simplifies my code or workflow. #godot #gamedev

To blend between textures you could use the "attenuation" variable, which has the shadow value (but not only)

If you specifically want to learn low poly: youtube.com/@imphenzia?s... Also side suggestion: Blockbench works well for basic low poly models, very user friendly but lacks some features that Blender has.
