I finally got kicked out of the discord server of the indie studio I was an intern at like half a year ago 😂
#gamedev

Guess why I haven't posted anything recently: That's right! Because buisy-ness doesn't allow me to make video games at the time!

Spoiler: I didn't. 😅

But what about my platformer? Shouldn't I at least finish that one before? I don't know. I'm still deciding on what project is worth more persuading at the time. Aarrggh! 😫
Maybe I just shrink the scope of the platformer way down to a microscopic level just to finally finish a game?

Do you know the game #NeighboursBackFromHell (Neighbours from Hell in the original)? Probably not. But oh boy, I do. The original devs went bankrupt, so there will probably never be another sequel. Do you see where I'm getting at? Yes, I had the idea to make a similar game like it in modern times.

I'm suddenly really drawn to the idea of boldly making use of a controller's full range of features. 😮

Too bad you had to abandon it. I don't usually play shooters, but this looks very appealing. And the gyro controls are really impressive and innovative for the genre!

Unfortunately, I couldn't attend #GMTK2025 because I was traveling. 😶‍🌫️ Well, at least I have time for the upcoming Brackeys.

unfortunately, I don't have the (working) version without it anymore. But I wonder if it even was the right decision in the first place...

back to my platformer project: Is it just me or should I've just gone with the "janky" player movement code rather than trying to make it "clean" with state machine logic? I mean there are like only 3 different movements and once I'll have the player movement I like never have to extent it again. 🤔

Tomorrow's my first day as a Level Design intern. 👀

I've got a game dev internship for next week. 😎

I have to try this myself, looks amazing

what makes it frustrating to get working on my game project again is that I now have to restore everything like it was before with the new code system...
Well, that's what you call revamping.🫠
#gamedev #godot

not only did you make me get into git, but also made me switch to Linux on my secondary device. 👍

Ew

Maybe I have to learn it the hard way some day. 😅

love it

Thanks, that really helps!

One of my long term dreams is to someday make a Nintendo exclusive. Financially illogical? I know. Cool nonetheless.

I just see some problems with it. It's definitely mandatory if you're making a fighting game with lots of attacks and combinations, but for my 2d platformer it could be a bit... over the top? It also gets a bit janky if functionality of multiple states "stacks".

That's one way to do it

Let's see if I'll learn from my mistakes. 😅
As for now the state machine version isn't really that much cleaner to work with in my case. Maybe It's going to be a long term payoff.

Do you sometimes (or systematically) delete old backups?

I'm curious: How often do you backup your game project? Like every day?
I haven't really backed mine up at all for now, but I'm a bit worried to shed many tears when I'll make more progress and bugs happen more frequently. 😬
#gamedev #godot

two-mice? This would probably work great on Switch 2!

I made a prototype with already a fair amount of functionality, just to scrap the whole player movement and rewrite it with state machine logic.
That feeling kinda sucks tbh. ☹️

I'm currently prototyping and haven't really done much concept either, because there's a lot of other stuff for me to do... in life. In August I'll probably get to work more on it.

I don't have much to say about my game yet, besides that it's made in #godot and is about a cool duck in an eggshell. Oh yeah, did I mention already it's a 2d platformer? 🤔
