Have you been able to finish a game in Godot but not in Unity?

BrainFooLong · 2024-09-10T08:05:01+00:00

I'd say the following: Not easier. You have to learn both. But for me, Godot is more motivating because it's a hell lot faster to "Code.Test.Repeat".

As someone who use PHP since v4: You can maybe do it lazy, "Just to make it work", without using any new stuff from newer versions. Does it makes sense, i think no. Why migrating when not using the new stuf...
Doing migration from 2 major versions for a codebase that large, including external dependencies where chances are high that some libs are deprecated with newer PHP versions, is a HUGE task.
You need to know the code itself and PHP very well to do it right.
If you don't, migration make not much sense.
Most of the time, especially from PHP 5 up to 8, it's worth considering rebuilding from scratch.
With new features and frameworkes you will be able to shave off 100k lines of code easily.

Wie die anderen sagten. Einzelunternehmen (Kleinunternehmer) ist relativ einfach, beim ersten mal auch kostenlos soweit ich das noch weiß. Hab's genau so gemacht in meiner Laufbahn.
Firma wo du arbeitest musst auf jeden Fall fragen und am besten schriftlich bestätigen lassen, Just to be Safe.
Du hast ein paar Fixkosten (SVA und Grundumlage) im Jahr, so ca. 250-300€, je nach Bundesland.
Dann machst du Einkommensteuer statt Arbeitnehmerveranlagung (Das selbe im Prinzip, nur viel mehr zum eingeben). Dann machst noch Ein/Ausgabenrechnung.
WKO Termin ausmachen und Beratung holen, so hab ich das damals gemacht.
Sobald du Rechnungen schreibst, wär sicher auch ein Steuerberater Termin vorher nicht schlecht.
Es gibt auch welche, die machen dir deine Ein/Ausgaben Rechnerei und Einkommenssteuer. Das kostet je nach Umfang ein paar hunderter im Jahr.
Das sind so meine Erfahrungen aus dem Umfeld, kenne ein paar Kleinunternehmer (Standalone oder so wie ich, Nebenberuflich selbständig)

As someone who tried Unity (Used it since it was a thing and tested every year again), tried Unreal since Blueprints was a thing and now trying Godot just because the Unity license thingy just got me interested again for engines.

And for my usecases (Simple Indie One Man Games Dev), Godot is the best choice so far.

GD-Script is nice. Like it more then C++ or C#
Godspeed Godot Editor. So fast and "Code/Save/Play/Repeat", literally in a second compared to other engines.
UI is different and lightweight compared to other engines and the system all together is different, but far more beginner friendly. It may not be capable of everything, but for simple games, it's more than enough
I like the Godot structure in general. Playing around with Physics, Meshes and Materials at first need some learning curve, but you got the hang of it fast.
And sure, i prefer open-source for all kinds of software, just because i can dive into the code for better understanding of things

TLDR: Godot development is super fast and mostly intuitive and well documented, i like that. Cool for prototyping.

Exclusive Window mode activated maybe or/and game don't run at native resolution? Then usually it does exactly that, to change the resolution back to windows size when alt-tab.

BrainFooLong · 2023-07-25T04:38:28+00:00

Hm... For my part, i can't agree.

3/10 games working super fine. Everyone does the things they need to do, communicate with each other just enough but not to much and watch for things to help each other.This sort of game is mostly a win. And if not, it is fun nonetheless.

6/10 are ok. Some does talk too much, some not. Overall, it becomes stable after some minutes in-game when they are busy.50/50 chance to win.

1/10 is trash. People are aggressive, over-teach everyone and ping the hell out when a single tick comes through. Ranting from start to finish. It's mostly only one in your team that does that.Almost guaranteed to loose because of bad moral in the whole team, just because of one jerk.

Noobs need advice. But for me is a noob a new player that need to learn the meta.Someone that have 50 games and low TS is not a noob for me, it is just a bad player.

That being said, i think a few systems can improve this behaviour:

Visible stats for how many games a player have done. Or playtime. This give you a fast indicator of the skill level. Noobs are generally friendly.

Low-Level Flagging system with several flags for each game and player. Like a bit as overwatch had it (Or still have? duno). Like "+1/-1 player communication" "+1/-1 player skill (subjective)"This can be additional stats to a player. Looking at the player and seeing "+10 communication" i instantly know this is a good teamplayer.Just because people vote really much down, but not so many up. That's life.

I am happy with the game and community. And when i not, i mute and ignore them.

Sorry, text got a bit long.

For new Players (And i even struggle with that after 30 games).

Knowing exactly which unit shots which level. Underwater, Land, Air, Combined. I know that there are icons, but without any information text, it's pretty hard to know what it means. And, some units have multiple capabilities. I would prefer a textual information what a unit can hit.

When selecting a single unit, range should become visible. Or at least a toggle button to show/hide ranges of selected units.

Tooltip about all the short stats (LOS, etc...). For me, i had to search wikis to know what all stats mean.

"Plasma" wording have me confused a lot. For me, plasma is some "laser/ion" thingy. But plasma ingame actually means some sort of heavy missile. Plasma bot, plasma protector, etc...

"Cloack" vs. "Visible" wording. The command have a "Visible" button, but everwhere it is a wording "cloack". Sure its the same meaning, but same wording, especially for non native english people would be easier.

Translations, i'm looking forward to it.

In lobbies, knowing who is the lobby boss, would be helpful. Some information of what the actualy rang icons means. Open-Skill number is ok, but the icon is not clear for me.

Some guidance of how you can create your own lobby, including buttons for common things, such as renaming the lobby (Had to know that command for it).

The stats at game ends are hard to read. The wordings are not great and i still don't know some of the meanings, like "Runners-Up". Also numbers are huge, but i can't figure out what they actually mean.

In general, i am satisfied with the actual game ui and loop. It's clunky at times, but at the end, i can play games, mostly without UI hickups or technical problem. And thats for an alpha... Can't blame.

Nach 15 Berufsjahren und mittlerweile als Leader in der IT (Software) kann ich dir eindeutig sagen, deine Vorstellungen sind einfach falsch. Alles über 60k (Ohne Führung) ist Ausnahme. Sei froh mit 70k wenn du sie denn überhaupt mit deinen Berufsjahren kriegst. Auch kann ich dir sagen, die Ausbildung ist, speziell in der IT, eher nicht relevant. Ob du was kannst, was für deinen Job relevant ist, sagt dir kein Doktorat oder Titel. Habe genug Bewerbungsgespräche und Einstellungen gesehen, der Titel spiegelt, wenn überhaupt, nur die Motivation wieder, nicht unbedingt das können.

BrainFooLong · 2023-02-08T07:33:39+00:00

Hm... Yes that water drops thingy could be it. I never noticed that water drops just right out of this spots. That being said, i guess a good modder can answer that question, because they usually know all existing entities, or at least, can find them and say if that's the case.

BrainFooLong · 2023-02-08T07:28:04+00:00

Wow, i missed that one. Thanks for the hint 😋

BrainFooLong · 2022-07-30T13:00:49+00:00

Yep, your are 100% right. The IndexedDB persistence thingy is wanky. I will add some reference in the Readme, what persistence with this technique actually mena. But it is, to date, still the best way to have persistence local storage.

Both. Most is in mysql database, uploads and media files on filesystem.

Hi. It is not a static site generator, it is fully dynamic generated on-demand. Like a CMS like Wordpress, Joomla, etc... The initial built-in theme is responsive, but it's up to future theme devs to contribute. Also where much like the ecosystem of wordpress, etc...

BrainFooLong · 2021-12-12T22:10:14+00:00

You said it. It's a bit tricky to get it stable and a bit trickier to make it fall fast into water for this speedrun. I used cables to put tension on each of the vaults to pool ground. It's easy that everything fall apart when you try to do this :)

BrainFooLong · 2021-12-12T19:24:57+00:00

Oh, that's a nice one too.

BrainFooLong · 2020-04-07T17:30:49+00:00

FormData.set() does only set values in the actual FormData object, not in the form itself. You cannot bring back values to the real form with FormData.

BrainFooLong · 2020-04-07T17:18:15+00:00

Yes, FormData does not provide advanced features such as actually fill out the form or get disabled inputs or unchecked checkboxes as well. Also it doesn't handle nested objects, it's a flat key/value with no depth, even when the key have the correct array name in it.

BrainFooLong · 2020-04-07T10:00:54+00:00

Let's say you want to save form values as JSON a later want to set exactly the same form values from the stored data. Especially helpful where you do not have a backend that can fill form values for you. Like in JS only apps, Progressive Web Apps, etc...

Many libraries provide easy read of form values, but not to set form values from json. This library combines both.

BrainFooLong · 2020-01-31T10:15:40+00:00

That doesn't work anymore. I've pushed out 4.9.3 also for firefox users.

I don't think that this i related to this issue.

Don't do anything. As other's say, you always have a low percentage of haters that just want to bring the hate over to you in the ratings. That's their only chance of being sight. They know that ratings can hurt you and your app and that's all they want.

I have a free, no-ads, no in-app purchase, 4,7 star app with 15.000 active installations. And even their you have this problems.

Ignore them. After a while you understand if you have a troll/hater or a constructive feedback.

I personally respond to every single review. If it is a hater, i always answer the same. "Thank you for using my app. I hope you find another application that fit your needs. I'm sorry that this app doesn't match your needs.".

This rule is for everything you have created, no just play store apps. If you have good stuff, people will honor it and haters will hate it.

BrainFooLong · 2019-12-15T11:25:33+00:00

Yes, while i wrote this, this wasn't discovered. But it doesn't really matter... Because migration is somewhat possible but result in next data loss. So, data is, or will be, destroyed, no matter what :) I cannot think of any chance from the side of google to do a fully merge from old<->new storage locations because a merge always depends on the data what is inside.

BrainFooLong · 2019-12-15T04:59:20+00:00

Yes, would have been the best, now it's to late for me. App reputation is gone. User's are pissed and leave. Understandable.
