You solved it though! It's never a graceful process realizing our own mistakes. A lot of head banging involved.

Spoop Cats @spoopcats.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

I've been there a couple times recently! I've learned to ask myself "Okay, what did I do wrong? It's probably the dumb human and not the computer that's just doing what I've told it to."

Did you buy Caves of Qud yet? 100% worth the price of admission. #gaming #gamer #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Agreed! Sometimes even just getting up for 15 minutes makes me realize a more obvious approach.

Spoop Cats @spoopcats.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

I booted up your game awhile back, saw new game modes, daily challenges, prebuilt characters, custom builds... seemed like an awful lot of ways you can play the game your way!

POV: Me every time I code for hours and I somehow manage to actually solve a problem. I'm still convinced the next coding problem will be the one that I get stuck on forever until I die. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Thanks for your reply. Ive used obsidian before and I'll consider using it again!

Lol oh no. I guess you can't make everyone happy. It's like hating platformers because you have to jump.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Any #gamedev tips on a diagramming software for mapping out your #godot games and how the systems work? E.g., this autoloaded script has a signal emited by this scene which then runs a function over here I'm just trying to avoid the spaghetti code syndrome. #godotengine #indiedev #coding

Both are nice, but the one on the left feels more authentic. However, just a matter of preference I'm sure!

Some game named Caves of Qud dropped and everyone loves it. Apparently the two devs that made it are pretty swell.

Nice! I'm on a similar path with Dialogue Manager at the moment.

Congratulations! You both should be immensely proud.

Buy. Caves. Of. Qud. It's one of the best traditional roguelikes ever made. It just hit 1.0 and has been a gem in the making for 17 years. Essential video game to try your hand at. Also, leave them a review if you already own the game.

Lol that has been recommended to me too. There is something wrong with us.

I can see how what you're saying is true. I don't envy anyone that had to design that system in the first place. Given its capabilities, it's very simple in terms of its base elements. I'm just not quite getting it yet!

@gapbite.bsky.social thank you for recommending it. Coincidentally, I watched it just 20 minutes ago without seeing your reply! It was very good!

I'm sure #godot has a great UI system, but I'm taking my lumps trying to learn it right now. Progress is never a straight line it seems. Especially, if you've managed to confuse yourself. 😕 Here's to hoping it all clicks soon. #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

So cool. That game is an excellent game. I'm terrible at it lol.

Burn bright, my simian friend. Burn bright... 🔥

Not to distract too much from Quds 1.0 (buy it if you're reading this)... but I recognized your profile pic as the Dungeons of Dreadmore artist's work right away!

Oh am I still on the list since I'm under 500? I am sorry I don't know how Bluesky starter packs totally work! 😅

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games. Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here. (reposts welcome to spread the word)

Omg the dog hack!!!!! If only real life love interests could be persuaded in this way...

Daaamn youre in the white heart zone now!

Karen is cool too because the berries and wine are easy to get if I remember. Great game. Thanks for taking me back to it for a minute ✌️

Hey stop talking to my wife! Her and I got married when I was... 12? Whenever the HarvestMoon 64 game came out lol. Is her name Anne? I can't remember now.

Thank you for explaining. And yeah this game was a hit right off the hop.

The game was already in a wonderful state ages ago. You two can be proud without reservation. It's a game in my top 10 easily.

020

Yeah they hit the sweet spot on this one!

I've been fishing for like 5hrs and I am flexing harder than anybody in this game. 100% skill to achieve what I've... er... achieved... Got the golden bass, got the golden ray, and I'm catching meteors like fly balls. #webfishing #godot #godotengine

A screenshot from webfishing, a video game. Shows a cat who just fished up a seal from a lake in a cartoonish style. He has a title above his head that shows he caught one of the rarest fish in the game.

Haha 'fully deformed' is how mine come in too.

Haha I seem similar to a lot of you. Gotta cook for a bit before it makes sense.

Do your game ideas come into your head fully formed? Or do you need to massage and workshop your ideas a lot? Asking for a friend... 👉👈 #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #godot #unity #unreal #itchio

It's too much and that sounds perfect lol. Maybe shorten to a week or something, work the timeline, etc.

Yes, this and so much more is possible in Caves of Qud. My story is very tame by this games standards. Endless possibilities.

Befriended a monkey. Gave the monkey a shotgun. The monkey and I get matching tattoos, which show a picture of him with his shotgun. Monkey goes apeshit with the gun, aggros everything (who saw this coming?). My monkey sadly succumbs to his wounds. I think about him to this day...
