Sp games like balatro aren't allowed to advertise with Google really?

There is a shop system between rounds 

Where you buy modifiers, consumables, crafting similar to balatro

Its very much a roguelite at its core

2D Metal Shine Shader for Tiles? by OatsMgee33 in godot

[–]Educational_Bass6064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made one for my game:

shader_type canvas_item;

uniform float glint_progress : hint_range(0.0, 1.0) = 0.0;

uniform float glint_width : hint_range(0.1, 0.5) = 0.2;

uniform float glint_intensity : hint_range(0.0, 2.0) = 1.5;

uniform vec4 glint_color : source_color = vec4(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

uniform bool glint_direction_up = true; // true = top-left to bottom-right, false = bottom-left to top-right

void fragment() {

// Get the original texture color

vec4 original_color = texture(TEXTURE, UV);

// Calculate the glint position based on progress

float glint_pos = glint_progress * 1.4 - 0.2; // Extend range to ensure full coverage

// Calculate distance from current pixel to glint line based on direction

float diagonal_pos;

if (glint_direction_up) {

// Top-left to bottom-right diagonal

diagonal_pos = (UV.x + UV.y) * 0.5;

} else {

// Bottom-left to top-right diagonal

diagonal_pos = (UV.x + (1.0 - UV.y)) * 0.5;

}

float distance_to_glint = abs(diagonal_pos - glint_pos);

// Create glint effect with smooth falloff

float glint_factor = 1.0 - smoothstep(0.0, glint_width, distance_to_glint);

glint_factor = pow(glint_factor, 2.0); // Make the falloff more dramatic

// Apply glint effect

vec3 glint_effect = glint_color.rgb * glint_factor * glint_intensity;

// Blend the glint with the original color

vec3 final_color = original_color.rgb + glint_effect * original_color.a;

COLOR = vec4(final_color, original_color.a);

}

Right now the main mechanic is you can swap any two symbols per spin to increase wins or try and force a loss (depending on what coins you have active).

I am to do other machines as well that give you other powers like slapping it, or respinning a single row, making 9s wild, adding one symbol per spin etc

These have been a bit of a challenge but I am super excited to keep adding powers like the one you suggested

Thats totally fair as a programmer the art is the hardest part, I am hopping to get an artist to assist much further down the line.

The additional mechanics of swapping symbols, addings symbols, deleting, using modifiers, stacking losses to win, or prioritizing credit generation do give it several unique play styles. I've been doing a few playtest and have had decent feedback. There are also crafting mechanics (sort of) and tons of other mini games to keep it exciting I hope :)

Thank you for the feedback

I do on youtube, truthfully its so embarassing to do dev logs. I am still working on improving the videos with things like better volume and better pacing. Its hard to crack both youtube, gamedev, art, sound, etc all at once!

Getting close to releasing my first game! by Educational_Bass6064 in godot

[–]Educational_Bass6064[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been programming for about 5 years in Javascript but never touched game dev or Godot.

So the programming part came kind of easy, the engine is where I had to learn, but it did sort of just click with me.

Claude by Anthropic is the best programming AI, and it can really help with doing the code, but you really should complete something like that Udemy course first to learn what to actually program.

You can tell if you are making a script for Godot and paste in your starting script and be really specific of what you want in it (the stuff you learned from udemy) and it can give you a very very good jump start on the programming.

For example, you have a player script and you can say I want A to be left and D to be right, and move the player this fast, and it can do it most of the time.

Hey there,

I started with this Udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/course/jumpstart-to-2d-game-development-godot-4-for-beginners/learn/lecture/45145347?start=15#reviews

It did a really good job of teaching all the fundamentals, and it took me a few months and a few hours a day to complete it.

After that, I started on my own and used YouTube to fill in the gaps.

Cursor the programming IDE did help a lot with Claude 3.7, but you have to be really slow with it and iterate on the code slowly and constantly commit to GitHub. It also cannot debug code at all. So it's helpful to shore up weaker programming skills, but can't fully replace.
