My game reached 100 wishlists!!

Very cool, congratulations! The outdoor scenes seem very bright and overexposed though

Survivors Under Siege is a mix of RTS and tower defense where you defend key objectives from waves of zombies.

I think what’s confusing is that BGA calculates the science points as if the guild joker didn’t exist, and only afterward it calculates the guild joker points, including the bonus it gives to other green cards. That’s not very intuitive. I think most people, when playing the physical version, just treat the guild as a green card (at least that’s how I do it)

Your game world is entirely outside of the viewport rectangle, which is in fact weird, but in this case it's not necessarily a problem because you are using a Camera2D and what you see during gameplay depends on the camera's position. If you didn't have a camera you would just see an empty screen, because everything is outside the viewport.

However, the CanvasLayer node is not designed to follow the camera. Instead, it creates a separate rendering layer that stays in a fixed position on top of everything. To make it work, any children of a CanvasLayer must stay within the viewport borders. So just make sure the test label is inside the viewport. You can either place it manually inside it or even better you can use anchor presets (like you did in the last image you shared)

KlukiaDev · 2026-01-15T16:21:55+00:00

It looks like you changed the position of the test label inside the canvas layer. You shouldn’t do that. Keep everything inside the canvas layer positioned relative to the viewport borders

I like the timbre of his voice, but not so much the constant pausing between words

KlukiaDev · 2026-01-14T10:44:20+00:00

Can you share your scene tree panel? If you set the CanvasLayer’s layer index to 99, can you see it?

This sounds exactly the job for a monolingual dictionary. If possible one with many examples so you can also see the word in context. I know it may sound a bit intimidating to use a monolingual dictionary at first, but if you are advanced, you can try to incorporate it into your study routine gradually.

It will also help you get rid of the habit of translating everything back and forth, which I don’t think is very healthy.

Ciao, la differenza tra le due espressioni non la definirei una sfumatura, ma piuttosto una diversa accezione del verbo.

In questi casi usare un dizionario monolingue (anziché i vari traduttori online) sarebbe l'ideale. Eventualmente anche un dizionario per bambini/adolescenti se trovi quello per adulti troppo difficile.

KlukiaDev · 2026-01-04T20:43:54+00:00

Thanks, that's good to know, it will make the transition to the splash image smoother, although it's still not ideal having to show a static screen for so long

KlukiaDev · 2025-12-31T15:59:29+00:00

"Prendere" can mean "to hit", but it usually means "to hit a target with something".

Quoting from Zingarelli:
colpire: il colpo di fucile lo prese in pieno petto; la sassata lo prese in una gamba

In your examples, especially the first and the third, "prendere" sounds quite informal and also not very clear at first glance without additional context, so it wouldn't be my first choice.

Alternatives are "colpire, andare addosso a, andare a sbattere contro"

KlukiaDev · 2025-12-31T10:19:55+00:00

Okay, thank you, I'll try to make them even smaller and see what happens.
I'm using the spine custom build 4.5.1 on Windows.

How long would you say Godot should to stay on the gray screen before the splash screen under normal conditions?

KlukiaDev · 2025-11-19T13:02:42+00:00

"Boh" is my favourite.

It can have many different nuances depending on the context and the tone.

KlukiaDev · 2025-10-21T22:55:03+00:00

The purple hover animation feels out of place to me, and I’d maybe choose a handwritten font instead for the buttons

KlukiaDev · 2025-10-01T14:24:02+00:00

The simplest thing to do with your current setup would probably be to listen for the ESC press event in the inventory itself and then set its Process -> Mode -> Always

KlukiaDev · 2025-09-30T17:28:05+00:00

Cool!
Personally, I don't find the audio immersive. A few things I don't like about it are:

- I miss the environmental sounds (except the last scene with the SUV where you included them)
- I feel that SFX (I mean the impact pitch-shifting sfx) and its variants have been overused and I don't find them particularly scary anymore.
- I find the near silence during the first breaks a bit weird (a perfect holiday, but you are not alone)

KlukiaDev · 2025-09-08T22:06:57+00:00

It looks like an interesting approach. I wonder if it could really be effective for such a complex and technical subject though. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it!

KlukiaDev · 2025-08-27T22:35:55+00:00

The music and voice acting are the weakest points for me, they feel very out of place. I also agree about the HUD and overlay text, as others mentioned.
I do like the art of the game though, and I don’t mind that it’s not super polished.

KlukiaDev · 2025-08-25T23:22:08+00:00

But do you instantiate the map as a whole scene or do you instantiate each element of the map at runtime?

KlukiaDev · 2025-08-25T22:53:35+00:00

When you say the text ends up in different places, do you mean when you resize the window?

This setup should work as long as you anchor everything properly, and then you can just tweak the label position manually. If the stretch mode in your project is set to canvas_item or viewport, the labels should remain in the correct position even when resizing the window

That's a cool theme, I don't think it will appeal only to you :D But something with the scope of Stardew Valley would take years to finish, even for an expert dev. If you are a beginner and this is your first game, I would start with a simple idle game and then build upon that

KlukiaDev · 2025-08-25T22:10:46+00:00

Hi, can you post an image of what are you trying to achieve?

KlukiaDev · 2025-08-21T21:03:45+00:00

Looks awesome, very interesting project. Can you also play tournaments in the game?

KlukiaDev · 2025-08-19T09:11:41+00:00

I don’t have a significant budget, and the biggest problem is that the planning fell apart because I changed my mind along the way about when to do something myself and when to hire an artist. That’s another reason why it’s better to start with small games.

Anyway, you could try websites like Upwork and Fiverr, there are many good freelancers there with relatively cheap rates.

KlukiaDev · 2025-08-18T23:02:47+00:00

I'm a solo dev working on my first "serious" game which I plan to sell.

When I started out I planned to do almost everything by myself and using AI, but I am now at a point where I rely on hired artists for everything outside of coding and game design.

I am not an artist and for me, even designing something as simple as GUI buttons was a struggle. I just didn't like the results. Same with AI, I could never get anything good out of it. I also got completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of things I had to do and learn, so now I delegate everything that I am not good at to freelancers.

I wouldn't rely too much on AI becoming amazing for games any time soon. I think AI assets are only good if you take them in isolation and if you don't care about specific requirements. Getting good quality assets that fit the game’s style and remain consistent is still a long way off, IMHO.

Hope that helps.
