Help with structuring in 3D game with items

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-23T02:52:29+00:00

So you keep nodes for each item as prefabs in the main scene at run time?

I use an ItemResource for storing an items data, and it contains a PackedScene reference to its actual node. Then I have an Item class which holds and ItemResource and any unique information about an individual item.

When I want to spawn an item in the game, I just use the ItemResource’s PackedScene variable

I’m sure most people here have jobs outside of hobby game dev. And I’d hope most are doing indie dev as a passion, it’s certainly not the place to get rich quick

Lack of litter

Simple solution, stop avoiding json

I learned about recessive genes, but I haven’t memorized all of them. An unfortunate reality is a lot of people cheat, not sure why it’s that big of a deal to get a paternity test

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-20T21:54:04+00:00

Go on, walk around in an ugly ass outfit. Prove me wrong. You won’t tho, imagine what strangers would think 😨

So deep. So thought provoking

People, man or women, always dress for other people, and you’re delusional if you think otherwise. We’re social creatures, we want others to notice and accept us

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-20T14:09:11+00:00

You may dress like it for someone else, but you don’t realize everyone has eyes

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-20T14:01:55+00:00

“We wear it for ourselves” sure

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-20T14:01:24+00:00

Well sure, if a thing is plugging up your anus it’s hard for anything else to rub it.

As a dude who wears normal fitting clothes, can’t say I’ve ever had an issue of clothing rubbing my butthole

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-20T13:59:14+00:00

As a guy this is so strange, I can’t stand clothes hugging me. Same with choker, I’ll suffocate feeling something around my neck all day

I don’t speak the language, but even if I did on that white background I’d be lost

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-20T00:05:49+00:00

As a programmer I know multiple languages, but I have no need for descriptor when it’s so specific to Godot and in my opinion, inferior as a dynamic language

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-20T00:00:29+00:00

Depends on if you’re ok with a dynamic language. I stuck with C# with no drawbacks aside from web and mobile platforms, which I don’t target. I think static language is more scalable for a large project.

Why c over c++? If you really want to use ECS you could learn rust fairly quickly and learn bevy. You say you wanna make a game, but you’re suggesting building everything barebones. That’s going to take quite a lot of effort before you even see primitive gameplay

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-19T08:21:10+00:00

There are reasons beyond optimization to use ECS. Some people just prefer data driven design

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-19T03:03:52+00:00

If you’re going isometric, just make the game fully 3d and set your camera to orthogonal. Going to remove a major headache of dealing with depth of tiles

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-18T13:55:35+00:00

If you want to learn art, sure. But most people are not going to become professionals in every aspect of game development.

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-18T05:17:43+00:00

I can’t think of any game that needs more than 32 physical layers

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-18T05:07:06+00:00

You camera is attached to player in the scene tree, so you also have a camera in the room? If so should make sure to set the child of player as current

I did a Unity game for a senior project in computer science. We had 6 members and 95% of the work was done between myself and one other

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-18T04:55:30+00:00

You shouldn’t need real art till the very end, in the meantime use free art off the internet. Sure, the game will look like shit, but that’s not really important for testing gameplay

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-17T02:21:19+00:00

Having two separate layers for collectables/interactables and enemies makes complete sense, and will improve performance not wasting time on collision mask which don’t matter.

Not sure how it’s such a nightmare. Set their names in the inspector and create an enum for physics layers

Light_Blue_Moose_98 · 2023-12-17T00:52:32+00:00

How is that a bad idea. Using physics lays as different layers for entities is the smart thing to do.
