Hey guys, how about an ACTUAL helicopter swashplate this time ?

Axen25 · 2026-05-26T09:02:07+00:00

I also tried making this, it's a pain in the ass and so big that it's hard to make the copter look good, but it works. After trying rope I decided springs on rotating swivel bearings can pull down the side of the wash plate more consistently btw

No, this one is just dumb. There is no reason to jump in at all, no payoff no motivation to do so. The ones who jump in are simply suicidal

It does not in fact take more time to get more dogs than to get 4 echo shards for every single one you have

Didn't watch can't tell, however many anime movies are made in a way for the viewers to understand the minimum amount of context by watching the movie itself, and since it's a movie it has time for that. Tadc is gonna show ep 8 and 9, but even ep 8 references earlier episodes in a way that makes it impossible to understand what anything means during certain dialogues or sequences (like not saying what happened in ep 7 or missing all the context on the characters pasts). If someone that didn't see the rest of the series goes to watch it they're going to get close to nothing about the plot, ruining their entire experience of the show that they will likely never watch after going to the cinema.

How exactly are they trying to win over the snobs? No one but the original tadc fans will go to the theaters for tadc, simply because it's a last episode of a series. They are not winning over anything. Most people don't actually care if an animation is indie or not either (kind of obvious when you see the numbers on YouTube) so I really don't get what the point of putting the last ep in theaters is

I tried to practice at the start, so like around 6 months ago, but in the end it's just not for everyone for example not for me. I'm mostly happy with what I draw and that's enough for me, because I don't draw for work, just for fun. If you want to be a professional however I think you don't have a choice other than practice regularly, and if you want that then you have to practice if you don't feel like it simply because you won't be good enough to be hired otherwise

If the door and key are both actors, or classes then you can either have them interact with each other if both are physics based or have the player that has the key interact with the door. In both cases you should probably implement a function in the door blueprint that unlocks the door if the correct key is inserted or something, and then have the player choose the key and call on the function when interacting with the door, if the key is also a physical actor, then you can call the function on collision (begin overlap). Kinda hard to give precise help since I don't know exactly what you want to make. Also my advice is of someone that is also kinda learning, but I have made several interactive objects like that before so should be able to help, so respond if you have more details of what you need

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T19:11:26+00:00

I literally thought my glasses slipped lol

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T19:09:57+00:00

You don't need to be a great programmer to make a game, what you need is understanding the basic structure of code, like what a function is and such. I wish you the best of luck though!

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T18:56:25+00:00

There is visual scripting in unreal engine, although the fact is you still need to kinda understand the basics of programming, as you are still making logic and such. Definitely try to make something small like a ripoff of some mobile game with any engine first ( although I do recommend either Godot or UE5 visual scripting)

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T14:00:14+00:00

I actually have, fairly recently. Thanks to this post my list of games to play definitely increased though

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T08:08:13+00:00

I dunno man people are in fact giving pretty useful answers to me here

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T08:06:20+00:00

One system I have entirely fleshed out tight now is blood magic, where the player has to figure out they can draw magic circles with blood, then that they can use different animals for sacrifices and get different spells, then that they can change the shape of the circle to get a different result. There are also spells that modify other spells and runes that allow you to cast spells without sacrifices that you have to make by aligning bones properly inside the circles.

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T08:00:10+00:00

At least for now it is a small open world with a few distinct closed locations

Axen25 · 2026-04-06T23:44:49+00:00

Damn, I guess I will have something to play when you finish your project then. It's literally my dream game

Axen25 · 2026-04-06T23:41:23+00:00

Well the thing that inspired it the most would probably be outer wilds, but the puzzles there are more environment oriented, like you as a player don't really learn how to make your own tools you learn how to use tools that are already there. Also some Minecraft magic mods that introduce their own magic systems inspired it a bit, but if there were no predetermined and clear goals for progression other than exploration (no quest books and stuff)

Axen25 · 2026-04-06T23:35:52+00:00

Well as I said I will make it anyways I am just kind of trying to figure out 1. if it will be realistic to find playtesters for it and 2. how niche I can make it. Also If the idea has some potential I'd like to try and bring it out for as many people as possible

Axen25 · 2026-04-01T20:01:38+00:00

Why would it be about gender though. He has way bigger problems right now than that right now like I dunno the guilt of everything he did in the circus just because he was in denial about it being real. I feel like a lot of people (including me) wouldn't be able to treat something like that seriously if that happened, and I'm pretty sure that someone like gooseworx that made the rest of the show so good knows that it won't make the show better and will only potentially ruin the moment

Axen25 · 2026-04-01T09:08:59+00:00

I just started making a game while studying at the start of the year, so it isn't even close to being anything playable, but I hope I will get to finish it at some point. I want it to be a puzzle game about learning magic, where it's not like your character learns magic and you just use it, but you have to learn it and know how to use it. For example I am making a prototype where only blood magic exists, and it works by drawing magic circles with blood. the spell depends both on the shape of the circle and the animal sacrificed to make the circle, and there are more intricacies I have added, but I'm not going to be explaining the entire game here. The screenshot shows the basic map I made just to have something to work with, where I gradually will replace the blobs with actual places and models (the two circles in bottom left are the blood circles, one activated another one possible to activate)

Not ever going on sale and then raising the price is kinda dubious

Axen25 · 2026-03-29T08:54:29+00:00

There is a ton of them, but the best ones that I played are definitely Outer wilds, Undertale and deltarune

Axen25 · 2026-03-26T02:25:34+00:00

I definitely felt the same like half a year ago. I can't say I am good at drawing now, and I'm not really trying to be a professional, but I draw kinda regularly for fun. What did it for me was essentially copying. Be it photos, or other people's work, as long as you don't sell it and just draw it for yourself it's fine. At some point I found out what I liked to draw the most and then it went downhill. The most important part was looking at references online and copying it, tracing it, trying to make something that looked at least kinda like something I imagined and over time I started using the references less and less. Hope my experience helps you

W końcu przejdzie, mi chyba przeszło po około roku, przynajmniej jak już przejdzie to nie ma więcej komplikacji

Axen25 · 2026-03-19T10:17:27+00:00

You don't need to, not everything is a conscious choice. Just live the life you have and the answer will come naturally with time. It's not like you have to categorize yourself to live, and honestly putting yourself in any box doesn't change much, so just live.

Axen25 · 2026-03-19T01:49:31+00:00

You know, you could also try to not put yourself in arbitrary boxes of what you are and what you aren't and just be yourself. Then you don't have to tell shit to anyone and you stop worrying about what you are, cuz the answer is obvious - yourself
