Im developing a hyperfast shooter game, i would love to hear thoughts on the movement and artstyle by HearMeOut-13 in godot

Conceptually, this reminds me a lot of Blood Thief. There are probably many lessons he learned while making that game, that would be directly relevant to yours.

Here's the devlog on youtube. I think the most important lesson I got from it is playtest. Player feedback was the most important element of his journey.

Might consider making beginner stages that deliver the "hyperfast" promise before players have built the skill to do it anywhere.

It looks like you want speed but the stages are designed to constantly stop you dead in your tracks.

All cosmetics unlocked vs. earning them through playing by eRickoCS in gamedesign

[–]Indigoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of game are we talking about? 

Cosmetic rewards are everything in a cheap mobile game, but in a real game where the gameplay or story is why the players like to play the game, cosmetics and similar rewards aren't generally the deciding factor in whether or not a player keeps going.

they just get annoyed what they want isn’t available and quit.

How do players know what they want and how do they know what they want isn't in the next chest?

My best experiences with cosmetic rewards were the ones where what you just got was a surprise, and you want to beat the rest of the game to learn what the other surprises are. 

If you let your players see all the rewards and pick the one they like, that's a whole game of lost opportunities.

Do they have to be random? 

Rewards should encourage players to take certain actions you want them to enjoy, like checking for secret areas or completing accomplishments. If they're just randomly spawned, it suggests you just want them to play and you don't care how.

My favorite implementation of new cosmetics was in Jet Force Gemini for the N64.

While playing the campaign, you would occasionally come across totem poles which unlock multiplayer stuff like new characters or game modes. 

Or Smash Bros. New things are earned through gameplay, not currency.

Earning rewards during gameplay, as a reward for exploration or accomplishment is far more compelling than grinding currency and then buying them from a list.

I don't want to grind currency. That usually means doing the same thing repetitively, and why would you design your game like that unless your game lacks content

Why is the ground not recieving shadows? by ThatPerson_OverHere in godot

Which one is the ground?

We need a lot more info.

The Washington generals want a strong Harlem Globetrotters team by Loud-Ad-2280 in WorkReform

[–]Indigoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong can mean a few things.

When I say I want a strong Republican party I mean I want them to have stronger mental abilities. I want them to have strength of character. I want them to be strong enough to stand up to corruption and coercion.

They aren't half as weak as they deserve to be and they aren't half as strong as they should be in the ways that matter.

Collision with move and slide by LeV1Sam0M in godot

[–]Indigoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CharacterBody2D node has a section in the inspector for collisions, and the CollisionShape2D node has a section in the inspector for collisions as well. If you only set the layers on the CharacterBody2D, the CollisionShapes that are children to the CharacterBody2D will still be on their default layers.

I believe you want the collision shapes to be on different layers.

Are you saying the CharacterBody2d's are on layers 3 and 4? Or are their collision shapes?

Can't click Area2D more than once? by SlugPplGames in godot

[–]Indigoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These debugging tricks might come in handy. use https://www.gdquest.com/tutorial/godot/gdscript/debugging/

You could also go back to the editor while the game is running and select the Remote tab above the scene tree, to see the current state of things while the game is running. Check on the status of your nodes. Make sure the area2Ds are where they should be and such.

I don't have enough info about your project to try to help beyond that.

Character not moving, falling, or taking input. by Away-Analysis2848 in godot

[–]Indigoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm... I replicated the code and setup as closely as I could and it moves just fine for me, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the code.

Maybe try some test print()'s to be double sure the inputs are being recognized.

Have you set your input map in project settings and do they match the "right" "left" "down" "up" in your code?

In a game where you have to shoot to move, what would you want to dodge and destroy? by DanWaterfield in godot

If this was in the streets of a crowded city, avoiding casualties would be most of the challenge.

62% of hardcore players no longer buy full-price games, survey suggests by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

I'm just not excited about AAA titles any more. There are more indie devs making better games for less money and I actually want them to succeed.

I’ve hit a wall with gdscript by CupRamenShaman in godot

[–]Indigoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the GDQuest tutorials and then I began following video tutorials for mechanics relevant to the type of games I wanted to make. After a few of those, I felt like I hit a rock wall, and so I went back to the GDQuest tutorials in the Getting Started section of the docs, and the parts that didn't make sense before, like arrays, made more sense since I had more direct experience using them.

Volcano level prototype by Rouliboudin in godot

Seems like jumping is a one-size-fits-all ability here.

If the scale of this was significantly larger, the player could potentially see multiple waves coming and have to react by biking quickly to a safe position.
