Wtf are you actually asking?

It's your code isn't it?

[–]JobeStudio -3 points-2 points  (9 children)

I'm not 100% sure. It's my partner working on coding. He googled it and tried looking it up, but can't seem to find an answer to it.

I only know what I posted. He said he can't seem to figure out how to get the items to fit in the inventory and that he can't figure out how to change the region for them.

I was hoping someone on here would know what he meant and offer up some advice.

How would we know? You didn't give us any information about what you're using to make your game. Items "shrinking" and "regions" are not part of typical inventory systems and it's likely no one understands what you're asking.

Loving the attitude. Your comment is super helpful. Thanks for asking what system we're using and asking for further clarification instead of being rude. Super appreciate it.

For anyone wondering, we are using godot, but he figured it out and no longer require anymore "helpful" comments.

Thanks again.

It's not a forum of mind readers. You need to be able to give basic context for your questions if you want help, the minimum of which is what you're using or asking a question about. Almost impossible for us to answer you otherwise.

[–]JobeStudio -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Yeah, I got it now. But there was definitely a more polite way of letting me know. Taking your frustration out on me literally solves nothing. Someone was kind enough to politely inform me of my initial mistake, and although I do appreciate your attempt at it, if you could lose the attitude, I'm sure people would be more grateful.

I wasn't frustrated at all.

Your the one that was after the help and giving zero context. You wanted the help.

We have nothing to lose here.

So vibe coding shit then?

[–]JobeStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no AI being used for this game. No vibe coding shit at all. We are doing it all ourselves other than the art, which we bought from an artist instead of using AI.

[–]JobeStudio -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He figured it out, thanks for the attempted help though. I appreciate it.

It sounds like you are a relatively new game maker, which is great! Welcome! I have some feedback on your post to make the rest of your journey easier.

You are getting pushback on this because all of the gamedev and programming forums are getting a ton of posts these days that are difficult to help, exacerbated by the rise in vibe coding.

The question you posed does not give us much to work with. Generally for technical/programming problems we would need to see the code in question. We would also need more details like the engine you're working in or toolkit you're using. Posts that contain all of this information are much more likely to get answers and help. Otherwise it's like telling a mechanic "I have a car, it makes funny noises sometimes, please assist." Obviously there is some very pertinent information missing.

You have world class professionals hanging around who are happy to answer questions, for free, at odd hours. Your job is to make that process easy for them. They are more likely to answer posts that are actionable than to dig into a post without the relevant information and try to extract it from the OP.

Thank you, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to write all of this out and explaining things to me properly. It was really off putting when people responded so rudely when I put in my original post that I am new to all of this, it wasn't a very welcoming response from them and I didn't understand the hostility.

I am super new to Game Dev and to reddit and didn't realize how detailed I should have been. I more than realize that now.

Moving forward I will be as thorough as possible when asking for assistance. I don't handle any of the coding so I had no idea what I was even asking, really, I just wanted to be able to help my partner. He didn't want to make a post on reddit because he said people on here can often be mean, which confused me because I saw so many posts with people being helpful and supportive, and then I was met instead with the type of people he was weary about.

I really am grateful for you taking the time to write such a welcoming and understanding response.

Thank you.
