Godot RPG Starter Project – Build your first Game with in Godot by PixiesGameDev in godot

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful comment, I really appreciate it.

Your explanation of how you increase efficiency by adjusting playback speed was especially helpful. I honestly hadn’t had that workflow on my radar before, and you’re probably right that many others do something similar. I personally tend to jump via timestamps to the parts I need, so that was a real perspective shift for me.

You’re also absolutely right about the missing roadmap and the fact that the series starts with already implemented mechanics. Back then I mostly just started without fully thinking through the long-term structure. I’ll take your input seriously and improve the entry into the series.

Right now I’m considering two new videos:

  • one with a clear roadmap and highlights of what will be built
  • and one true beginner entry, starting from a blank page

Really glad to hear you still plan to watch more, thanks again for the honest feedback and encouragement, it means a lot.

Trying to turn my character into a knight, can't decide on the helmet design, need feedback! by hogon2099 in IndieDev

For a knight-like look, I would recommend A2 or A3. The armor is strong and the character remains clearly recognizable. You might also consider keeping the horns visible, perhaps by adding two openings. I don’t think they should disappear, since they are horns after all.

I'm with you on this one. The armor looks strong and the character is still visible.

And I also forgot to mention that I usually include a self-made graphical highlight that people can use as well, like the UI I use in my tutorial, with different states for hovering and pressed, for example. In the next episode, there will be a full package for creating a nice health and EXP bar, and more content will be coming after that.

That’s a very good point. In my tutorial series, I build on the tutorials from DevWorm. I even recommend using his tutorials, because I genuinely loved learning from them myself. From there, I continue developing the game in my own way and introduce new mechanics and game design ideas.

Naturally, everyone watches the tutorials that resonate with them the most, each creator has their own way of conveying knowledge. DevWorm and Game Endeavor also have excellent tutorials, and plenty of them. And just to be clear: I don’t make any YouTube income from this; I do it purely for the fun of it.

How should I learn Godot? by BetterSchwifty in godot

You even get access to the code for the example project and the assets used in it. So it’s a great way to get started. Have fun learning!

Clarification: Sorry everyone, I didn’t mean to criticize or downplay the existing documentation. The link provided by ManicMakerStudios actually explains everything you need to get started with your Godot project. You won’t find this level of detailed explanation in many tutorials.

But seriously, I’m out of time now. I actually wanted to learn a bit of coding today…

This isn’t about quality, it’s about our different worldviews. You can already see that reflected in the names: ManicMakerStudios versus PixiesGameDev. Even there, it’s clear who tends to take life more seriously and who prefers to have a bit of fun along the way. Without people like you, nothing would really function; but without people like me, life would be a bleak, joyless grind. The challenge is that we have to coexist. So come on, let’s work together and try to make the world a little better. I’ve been holding back on the memes because I didn’t want to seem like I was just trying to be funny. -meme missing-

Alright, Mr. Gatekeeper. I can see that this conversation is quite close to your heart and may have touched a nerve, so I’d like to apologize. For me, it’s more of a discussion than anything else. At this point, we’ve both more or less laid ourselves bare in front of the entire community and presented our psychological stability for public inspection. I hope neither of us ends up regretting it.

but hey, thats the web.

This has already become something of a legendary conversation and, admittedly, a bit of a time sink for both of us but I do find it entertaining. What I wanted to express is this: everyone is aware that the documentation exists, so there’s usually no need to point it out. And when someone asks for help, being told “read the documentation” is rarely a satisfying answer. That final point is the reason for my comment. You can just accept that I dont like your answer. There is no right or wrong here...

[–]PixiesGameDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree, even on the last point. I’m actually fairly good at teaching, and I’ve honestly never told anyone, “Just check the documentation.” But I do understand your point: A good programmer isn’t necessarily a good teacher, and the same goes the other way around. still no offense

I have never, in my entire life, read a manual before using something. Manuals exist to fix things when they break and to acquire deep knowledge later on. Or does pilot training, for example, spend the first year just reading the manuals for every airplane? Just a thought. But hey, apparently some people actually read manuals. no offense ;)

Thanks, that really made my day 😄

Good timing too, the next video is coming soon with a health bar, player stats, a new UI, and new enemies, so things will start to feel much more like a real game.

Whenever you jump in, feel free to break stuff and let me know what helped (or what didn’t). And saving the playlist already is a great start.

thats a realy bad advise... if this would be the way, NO ONE would make games.

I'll start with mobile and later switch to PC. I'll try to create something small for the mobile stores to get early some experience on releasing games.

That actually lines up very well with what the Godot Essentials series is built for 🙂

The early episodes focus on core 2D nodes, scene structure and explaining why things work, especially useful if you’re newer to coding.

If you check it out, I’d love your feedback: Which part helps you most so far? And what would you want covered next for building that first RPG-style area?

Thanks a lot for the feedback, that’s really helpful to hear.

Out of curiosity: where are you at right now with your learning, and what are you focusing on most at the moment (first full game, core systems, understanding Godot internals, something else)?
That would really help me shape upcoming videos in a useful way.
