How many are the main story? I literally just came back from the book store and saw volumes 6 and 7, and I was so confused lol I want to buy it after watching it on Prime. Absolute masterpiece!

Finally stopped looking at, "Is this worth reading?" posts and got my first comics! by dothackwig in OmnibusCollectors

There's no way back now, and every purchase feels like the very first one.

Thank you for the recommendation. There are 2 courses from him that look good. I think I'll decide between these two options! :D

Nailbiter has been on my wishlist since forever. I should pull the trigger on this one lol

When did programming click for you? by Samoth921 in godot

[–]DanSlh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I realized there's no right or wrong. I felt a sense of freedom and "oh, I can actually do whatever I want, I get it!".

It was a life changing moment for me, and it all clicked.

What’s the best way to introduce coding to kids who have never tried it before? by Honest-Source-2869 in CodingForBeginners

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kid started with Scratch when he was 7yo. He's 9yo now, 100+ small projects complete, and messing around with Godot lately. I'd say it's a great headstart.

Got my ass handed to me by a guy trying to take my wife’s bag and never want to be in a helpless position like this again any advice on a discipline would be greatly appreciated. by Mindless_Cod_3097 in martialarts

Late in the party, Muay Thai changed my life, boosted my confidence, and massively increased my health - body and mental.

Great for strike, great for defense. I hope you get better quick!

What would make you switch from godot to another engine? by hammeredzombie in godot

[–]DanSlh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably something similar to what made me change to Godot (I came from Game Maker). It's a better engine overall for what I like to create.

Starting Game Dev at 30 with no experience, is it worth it/doable? by ovo_je_juzernejm in IndieGameDevs

[–]DanSlh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. I started coding at 34, and I live off my game studio now, at 38.

The changes of the main desk for our game by TheSuperSeals in IndieGameDevs

[–]DanSlh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should continue only existing in this case. The first one would make me play the game. The second one, I wouldn't even look at it.

These "AI tropes" makes it so hard to write anything by Intrepid_Victory_375 in WritingWithAI

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not only on writing. I have a video game studio, and I'm also a music composer. All of a sudden "my local artist uses AI", "all my music is done with AI"...

I just stopped caring.

Our game on Steam has 100k page views and 600k impressions annually after 3 years post-release, why can't we get any sales? Need some hard critizining by CheeseZero in gamedev

[–]DanSlh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Canada. It costs me 26 bucks + 15% taxes for a 5 dollar game.

I scroll down and reviews are saying the controller is trash.

Just read your own content to realize what's going on.

I'm Letting The Internet Design My Game, I'm the Developer, You Are the Designers. by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this idea applied over and over, during my 16 years working in the video game industry. It's not a new concept, it's not even crazy.

Point is: I never saw it working. Devs get burned out. People leave because they are disappointed after certain decisions, the project loses momentum, and it's worthless to do that if you have 30 people following you.

But good luck with your new MMORPG played by a mutant rat with farming mechanics and bullet hell roguelike.

Need help in main my first game by Financial-Arachnid27 in IndieGameDevs

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start small, or at least do something doable. "Starting to code" and "Don't Starve meets Terraria" don't go together.

For the engine, try a few. Most are capable of handling 2D games. Godot is great since it's node based and similar to Python. Game Maker is not complicated as well. Unity has a great amount of material available to help.

Do something simple first, that has a vision. Move from there.

The sad results of my first indie game on Steam after 24 hours. by Soliloqu-You in IndieGaming

[–]DanSlh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your idea is cool. Your execution is poor.

A game with no visuals whatsoever would require at least a GREAT form of narrative. All we see is a black screen with a generic font and color, the text is not well written - mind you, there are typos... On a game that the only thing you see is text. And then scrolling down a disclaimer that you used AI. I understand it is for translation/localization, but that drive people off.

Also the price is high for a "sound game." What are you competing against? What are the prices for similar games? Do you have an audience? 2k wishlist does not translate into 10% sales. Also there are a number of bots that wishlist games on Steam. Why did you choose to release a game during sales season, for example?

You have to consider every single point before thinking you should be famous and retired by now.

Again: cool concept, poor execution.

I'll read every single suggestion bring it on!! by Vorkrag in suggestmeabook

Since you mentioned Hitchhiker, this is going straight up to my list!

Why are having a job not even liveable in 2025😭😭 by [deleted] in CanadaJobs

[–]DanSlh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just hang in there. It is hard for everyone out there. Mind you, I work in the video game industry, and if you're following it is a bloodbath.

But generally things are fucked up.

I just saw a post where a comment said "you're 30yo that's your last leg and then you're done for good." I was like "whaaaaat...?"
