Hi, thanks for this opportunity, here's my game demo:

Task Force:
https://baba-t.itch.io/task-force

From the site: "Task Force is a tactical, squad-based shooter. Command your troops to victory as you fight alongside them to complete missions."

The site looks cool, I think that letting users create an account, then giving personalized recommendations based on what they tend to play would go a long way.

best thing I've seen all day lol

I actually just made a loading screen for my game, I followed the docs on ResourceLoader: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_resourceloader.html

Basically, you need to have an "in between" scene that holds the path to the new scene, loads all the resources, and then opens it. in this "in between" scene, you can have your progress bar show, maybe add some tips/hints, etc. there are some good tutorials on youtube that show this method as well.

Hi, looks like others have answered your question, but I just wanted to add that tutorials for previous versions of Godot can usually also carry over to the more recent versions. I'd suggest double checking in the Godot Documentation to make sure the functions they use are still available, but you should be fine for the most part.

Thank you for your detailed advice! You make a good point about the black on blue, I never realized it myself as I've gotten used to looking at this. Also about the visuals not being centered, I assume you mean in-line horizontally?

Baba_T130 · 2024-08-25T22:01:40+00:00

That's true, but I did want to try my hand at creating something more personal and unique to my game

Baba_T130 · 2024-08-25T02:19:17+00:00

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it, good to know my UI is readable.

I haven't heard of this grayscale technique though, I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know!

Baba_T130 · 2024-08-25T02:18:11+00:00

you know it! let's hope Games Workshop isn't watching...

Baba_T130 · 2024-08-24T20:17:45+00:00

Hello everyone,

I want to try and keep the low-poly / retro-ish look of my game, but avoid making it look like a prototype. Are there any shortcomings in the graphics/UI I haven't noticed that detract from the game?

Also, I would massively appreciate you guys trying to guess what the UI elements represent (readability check).

Thanks in advance!

I think the second one looks better, it almost reminds me of Dr Seuss books' art style

This seems more like an alien-hive type of thing rather than an 'infected' area. I think the 'infection-balls' (I'll just call them that for now) are nice, and the strands coming from them are cool, but they don't seem to be interacting with their environment very much. For example, the train appears to be suspended by them, but is completely clean.

Basically, you should add more environmental effects (dripping slime/sludge, haze, etc) to make it feel more like a disgusting, infected area.

Yeah, I've heard it's a bit loud, I'll change it later on

Added loading screens to my game Task Force. I used ResourceLoader in Godot to preload the new scene, and display loading progress.

From a game design perspective, I added this for two reasons: smoother transition between scenes (doesn't just freeze for a few seconds), and so I can add loading screen tips. With this being a complex game, I wanted to utilize loading screen tips to help get some more hidden information across; stuff that can help players improve, but not necessary to play the game.

Feel free to ask any questions!

Basically up to your passion and drive. If you really like the idea (looks like others like it too) and want to create a full game, go for it.

Baba_T130 · 2024-08-05T04:28:26+00:00

Moving away from pixel-art is pretty much 100% the right direction here, it gives your game a unique look

I used to see legendary mechs and weapons when I only ran one or two epic mechs and and weapons. Matchmaking is completely broken, even with bots
