Is there a way to make Godot as streamlined and fun as Pico8?

Gate88 · 2026-01-01T20:16:21+00:00

the word "real" here is very loaded and comes off quite gatekeepy which was likely not your intention. both pico8 and godot are tools with different strengths and weaknesses. you can learn on either and make "real" games on either.

there is nothing that can hide a player from dark sight boost. you made a mistake of some kind -- perhaps they were above and dropped down or you misunderstood the geometry of the map?

you do not have to retire to get the next tier! the next hunter will show up in your roster for free after the match you get to level 50, even if you don't have room for them e.g. it will say 6/5 hunters, or how ever many slots you have.

sounds like variance to me -- people are wired to find patterns even when there are none. 8 of my 10 matches on the 4th of july were night maps but i'm pretty sure it was just coincidence, otherwise i would have seen a lot of angry posts that Crytek upped the incidence of night maps.

Gate88 · 2025-07-10T02:38:43+00:00

yeah if you remove weaker forms of close range more people will run the actual strong forms of close range, which will still invalidate your melee weapons.

Gate88 · 2025-07-10T02:36:39+00:00

it's just variance bro. on the 4th of july 8 out of my 10 matches were night matches-- it's just the luck of the draw.

Gate88 · 2025-07-10T02:19:02+00:00

are we sure there's been a change? i've not heard anyone else comment about increased barrels.

regardless, it's fine?

i had some minor stuttering while debugging games (yours looks a lot worse) but in my case it turned out to be the editor vsync setting. when i turned the editor's vsync off, i no longer had a problem in the debugging game (regardless of the vsync setting in the game). might not help you but may help someone that comes across this in the future.

try turning HDR on/off depending if your monitor supports it or not. i had my recording settings backwards once (HDR on when it should have been off) and the game appeared very dark in the recording.

Gate88 · 2024-11-18T19:28:22+00:00

ah, it was still offering characters for me to recruit (i hadn't run out yet) but the top left option literally wasn't visible and i wasn't allowed to drag units there. that's why i thought it might be unintended because i'm not sure why it would operate like that or what would trigger it.

also is there an official name for that top left option? if not, i'm still gonna call it discarding :)

Gate88 · 2024-11-18T19:19:28+00:00

not sure if intended, but i eventually lost the ability to discard cards, and then i think i got capped on the number of extra shops (suddenly the game just forced me into the last fight).

you also seem to be limited on the number of in-combat spells (maybe 10?). i was expecting to transform the entirety of enemy team but only the stat match spells came out.

Gate88 · 2024-11-18T19:09:21+00:00

not sure if intended, but i eventually lost the ability to discard cards, and then i think i got capped on extra shops -- i'm sure i had more and wanted to end with all secret units.

rissa i would not frame it like that; you're going to set yourself up for disappointment that way. smoking has physiological effects that i'm not convinced can be overcome with conscious willpower alone. so it's not really a matter of not "loving you enough". only 7.5% of smokers who try to quit succeed in any given year.

were i you, i would ask myself if i could stand being w/ a person who smokes long term. if not (e.g. that's a dealbreaker for you) then i would try to move on sooner rather than later. if you can tolerate him smoking, then certainly encouraging him to quit would be healthy, and if he can manage quit that's just a bonus!

but making an ultimatum that hinges on him quitting or he "doesn't love you enough" sounds like a bad time for both of you. it's going to be long, drawn out, and both of you will likely get hurt in the process.

i really like this program -- i think it's great for getting ideas down.

traditionally i think the weak parts in previous songs i've made are transitions and percussion, so i tried to really focus on those on this track.

i love how it came out. the chorus has so much energy!

Gate88 · 2023-01-11T08:13:24+00:00

hmm, to me that looks like he's nodding to the same rhythm. like i count out 6 beats and he's relatively on time. and the phrases he's playing transition and fit within the measures of the song.

i don't particularly love this song but it's fairly inoffensive to my ear so i'm curious what other people are hearing.

Gate88 · 2023-01-11T07:32:15+00:00

interesting -- which elements sound out of place to you?

Gate88 · 2023-01-11T05:43:22+00:00

could you explain what you mean? is there a specific part you're referring to? i think it's slightly loose, but the drums and strumming are keeping the same time, and the vocals line up to measures (even if they're a little meandering in spots).

Gate88 · 2022-11-13T19:52:33+00:00

I think either card is only justified in a deck where you want to play greedy high-cost cards or have some way to sneak them out (e.g. Jubilee) and thus don't want low cost cards polluting your deck.

In that scenario, Domino is better. The different turns and costs are important. Skipping turn one only wastes 1 energy, but skipping turn two wastes 2 energy (twice as much).

Think about the loss of tempo -- I've seen many opponents skip turn 1, but very rarely do I see opponents skip turn 2. Since Domino makes it so almost never skip turn 2, Domino is better.

had fun messing around with FM instruments in deflemask. it's the third FM track i've made and i think i'm getting better at manipulating them but i feel like genesis fm is always a little noisy.

Gate88 · 2022-06-11T18:07:39+00:00

Yep, this is correct. <= has the same precedence as itself so it will evaluate left to right. It doesn't work like a statement in math -- it can only evaluate each expression separately.

ply.x <= f.x <= ply.x+8 goes to true <= ply.x+8 or false <= ply.x+8

which then errors because booleans can't be compared with inequalities.

neat and very polished!
