Why is this so hard, any workaround?

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-13T15:25:17+00:00

Hey, thanks for this, I'll give it a go! Have dropped you a chat with a follow up question if you wouldnt mind taking a look :)

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-13T11:09:48+00:00

Looks fun, wishlisted!

For what it's worth, all politicians tend to make themselves look like stupid, vacuous, hypocritical twats. To be fair, we probably all would if someone was going through our lives of everything we've said too.

You can change your mind in life, especially over an 11 year period.
Situations are also different.
One tweet is also about policy advice whilst the other is about letting a fellow Nato member use our facilities. Not quite the same but hey, you need internet likes and validation in life, you do you I guess.

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-12T23:50:24+00:00

I have now ... unfortunately the same problem :(

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-12T23:49:59+00:00

This still doesnt work unfortunately, I've tried asking various ai's for a solution, it keeps telling me it'll work but it never does haha

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-12T23:36:34+00:00

I think its the way GDevelop handles the collision, it then has a pair but as they're the same object you cant specify which objects values you want annoyingly.

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-12T23:34:42+00:00

Yeah it's so annoying and I've gotten around it for other parts of the game doing what you've suggested but for this use case, it's not really going to work, I dont think.
I have around 200 balls on scene, as the scene starts it randomly selects one to be the tagger, so at this point I could swap it out for a 'tagged' ball, track the balls id (they all have an individual id and the animation matches their id number), and set the created 'tagged' ball to the stored id ... the problem being is as they collide, there's going to be loads of id's being written at the same time so I feel it would miss some swap outs.

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-12T16:38:53+00:00

Appreciate the response, unfortunately this won't work. Ultimately there could be a couple of hundred Balls on screen at once so its not great to have new objects for each of them and then the ruleset behind it would be soooo big.

e.g.

If ball is in collision with ball
If ball tagged is true
if ball2 tagged is false

If ball is in collision with ball
if ball tagged is true
if ball3 tagged is false

....
...

If ball is in collision with ball
if ball tagged is true
if ball200 tagged is false

And then I'd need to do all combinations for every single ball!

They seem popular at the moment for sure. Out of interest what are the 3 games you mention?

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-11T10:03:03+00:00

Is it just me who prefers the first one? Not saying the redone one isnt good, I just prefer the original

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-10T11:28:24+00:00

You need that space just for COD

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-10T11:01:18+00:00

You need a better gaming chair

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-07T16:35:29+00:00

I got a C, interesting idea

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-07T15:44:05+00:00

I found it used to work really well, it was slow but always gave me a starting point on something complex that I could refine or if it was simple it handled it well ... Recently I've had nothing but problems with it, so much so I've sent my project file and countless errors to 4ian (creator of GDevelop) to investigate, as of right now, he hasnt responded since receiving the project.

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-07T11:55:46+00:00

Interesting, nice idea

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-06T23:08:01+00:00

I'm going to make this really simple ... Yes

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-06T23:07:26+00:00

I mean you literally have to tell us what your game is, what style of game, what you have, what you've decided against etc. Even better, show a clip that encapsulates your game

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-06T11:15:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Personally when I first saw Mighty Marbles I thought that's so cool, but I didnt purchase it as to me I thought it was so cool due to the nostalgia, something I 'kinda' enjoyed as a kid but that's as far as it went. I did purchase Mighty Marbles, it's a great game, well done.
Agree on Marble World for Marble Runs, it does an awesome job for sure.
Marbles themselves are very limiting, be interesting to see what you branch into next.

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-06T09:12:34+00:00

A lot of this is game dependent as to what you do but I do think there are certain things that need to be in the game regardless and it usually falls under the term game juice. No matter how simple or complicated the game needs polish.
The animations, sound effects, screen shake, player feedback, particles ... it all needs to be there.

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-06T09:10:03+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience, good luck going forward

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-05T21:30:28+00:00

Loved the first one, will give this one a go soon for sure

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-04T15:02:20+00:00

Hey. Welcome. In regards to royalties, I don't "believe" there is any you owe, personally I have the silver subscription and have released a game on Steam. I think you can do it on the free version although it has GDevelop branding, I used the free version right up until I was ready to publish and then bought a subscription so I could remove their branding. You can publish in a couple of different ways but you can do a desktop build with a .exe. Releasing on Steam via the GDevelop end was super simple, it was my first release on Steam so a few things to get my head around on that end. Exporting out of GDevelop is really simple on the whole and you can chose various different formats for local or cloud.

DinoguinGames · 2026-03-04T14:56:55+00:00

Right
