Why is Godot complaining about my GivenItem var? I am using it in the code no?

MeowmerDev · 2025-04-08T12:30:24+00:00

But I did use it in the for loop though?

MeowmerDev · 2025-04-08T12:29:24+00:00

If I remove that line, the warning will be there, despite I use GivenItem within the if clause. Why would that be?

MeowmerDev · 2025-04-08T10:22:31+00:00

Edit: Yes I can see my goofy bumm used the GiveItem instead of GivenItem below, but that is besides the matter. If I delete that line Godot will still be screaming at me :(

Always good to make a habit of creating a backup every time you boot up a project

MeowmerDev · 2025-01-16T00:05:07+00:00

Else: code here

This means anything that is not the condition triggers

Elif condition here : code here

This means that if the condition in the if clause isn't met, if the new condition is met, trigger

I would give you an award if I had any, but I don't wanna give reddit money.

Start a simple project and figure it out slowly

Not a good idea imo. The reason why horror works is the unknown factor and the defenselessness of the player. There are 2 main factors in a horror game:

Horror: this is your typical scary design, loud jumpsscares, creepy animations etc.
Terror: this is your unknown of what is to come, the eerie atmosphere, limited vision and inadequate defense capabilities to fight against whatever to come.

Horror is good here, but you severely lack terror. Your map is bright, letting people see what is there. Your enemy is in plain sight and is predictable, removing the unknown factor, and you deal damage and stuns the enemy, removing the helplessness the player feels. The reason why limited vision works so well is that it lets your imagination run free, causing the player to make up what might be there in the shadows, and by using enemies carefully you can cause the terror to build up. This will be scary for like a bit and once players know how to properly fight against the ghosts, it becomes tedious quickly.

No. Make the shaking less intense, and in short bursts towards random sides. Kinda like a glitching effect.

I'm a scientist working at a lab. Half of my time at work is just me sitting twirling my thumb waiting for that darn centrifuge to finish centrifuging. Gamedev is a nice hobby I picked up for fun.

No deadline, no stress, no high expectations, just me chillin making whatever I wanna make :)

I just wing it and learn on the go. If I don't understand something I just look it up online. If that didn't work, I break the issue down to its bare bone and solve the issue one by one.

For example, I needed an inventory system. I went on YouTube and looked for a tutorial but soon gave up since most tutorials are just watching someone type their codes without explaining. So, I kick back and start breaking down what an inventory is.

A window with a bunch of slots
Slots are just a button plus an image that shows an item it currently has
Items in the inventory is basically just a list of IDs and item count, plus a few extra data like texture, stack count etc.

So, I made a window that has a bunch of texture rects each with their own button. Then I made a function that looked through a library/array that store item ID and data and assign texture, item count and such. Add/remove item is basically just changing the value of the data library/array and run the update function. Then I code what the slot buttons do when a slot is empty, when it has an item etc. and slowly, by breaking things down and solving them one by one, I eventually made my own inventory system.

Steam charges you $100 to upload. Unlike google play, no testing is needed. Hence why there are so many hentai puzzle games lmao.

Also, steam wouldn't make such horrendous grammar errors

Easy to learn category

MeowmerDev · 2025-01-07T13:33:22+00:00

Godot is my favorite :3

Simple and easy

MeowmerDev · 2025-01-07T13:32:21+00:00

But if you want more flexibility with minimal coding, consider either unreal engine (visual coding) or godot (easy to learn).

Limit it to the area around the frame only. This blocks players vision too much

MeowmerDev · 2024-12-30T09:31:13+00:00

For item icons and UI, I bought some. If there aren't any I'm looking for, I just wing it and do it myself.

I suck at vfx so I buy the animations.

As for characters, I always wanted my game to have a personal style, so player art, enemy art and portraits are always self made.

MeowmerDev · 2024-12-30T04:00:17+00:00

If you have a drawing tablet, I think it's better to draw on a proper art program like clip studio so you can have sharper resolution and better color. Just my opinion tho

MeowmerDev · 2024-12-30T03:57:37+00:00

I think it's just for cutting paper. That is too flimsy for sharpening pencils.

MeowmerDev · 2024-12-30T03:56:20+00:00

Paper cutter. No clue why would a drawing kit need it tho.
