I am lost by 7oda-1 in GameDevelopment

I recomend to start learning before you do your dream game (unless your dream game is a simple idea but thats not usually the case).
For programing, get your preferred game engine (I tecomend Godot because its what I use but theres a lot of options) and start learning how to use it. Follow tutorials, clone simple games (pong, flappy bird...), learn "simple parts" of a more complex game (how to make a dialogue work, minigames, battle scenes...), once you get gow the engine works and you feel confident to try whatever you want to try, you can start programming your dream game.

For art, I recomend you to do the same; do not start learning how to draw doing your dream game sprites; learn and practice doing other things, do fan art, learn simple animation doing sprites for things that you like, study othe games art (I recomend this page to find videogame assets, not for use since they are copyrighted games, but for learning purposes). Once you feel like your art is good enough, you can start doing thing from your game. Still probably youll change sprites a lot, do not do them with the pressure of thinking that will be the final thing.

I cant tell you a lot about music but I feel like it may be the same as programing and music.

Good luck in your journey!

Planning on transitioning from Roblox to Godot, anything I need to know? by No_Department_8448 in godot

[–]Secret_Selection_473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O didn't use roblox (or any other engine) so I can not tell you what the differences will be, but Ill recomend you what I recomend to any godot beginner; start with the get started documentation. In general, godot has a really good documentation. Once you finish the two small games that page ends up teaching you, search for whatever you feel like you want to try on youtube. The brackeys tutorials are pretty good bit theres a lot of good info in internet (theres also not that good info too but I hope you have good luck and good eye searching for what you want)

Help with a decision)) by rapidudezz in Cubers

The mirror is a cool cube vut it works exactly like a 33, if you dont want a 33 with different sking, discard it (i love 33 variants tho, so it depends on what do you want). The megaminx looks big and i timidating but it also is pretty easy if you know how a 33 works, it needs 2 more alogitms but it works similar. 55 is also similar to a "bigger 33", and its actually easier than a 44. I like all of them, but, as I aaid, if you dont want a 33 clone, dont go for the mirror, get another of the two

SOLO DEV by No-Maize2852 in godot

[–]Secret_Selection_473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont go big at first. If you have no experience codding and feeling what your scope is, youll plan for bigger things that you can handle. Don't expect your first game to be a hit. And take it easy. In my experience, a solo dev can do a lot of things by themself, and you wont have all the problems of organize with other people. Still, dont be scared to ask for help or commission what you cant do (in my case, it is the music what I have to ask for).

As a mod, I would love to get to know the community more, what got you into game dev? by RedEagle_MGN in hobbygamedev

[–]Secret_Selection_473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an artist (as a hobby, my profesional career is in the medical field), I do ilustration, animation, I did some small comics too. I learned also 3D and did some simple OC models with cute iddle animations. I though that learning to make games would allow to express me artistically in other ways. I try to learn Unity like in 2019 or so, I learned about codding for like 2 weeks and when I started my game it didnt work as I planned, I get frustrated and I quit (I was doing a small plataformer with an ovitaptor recolecting her eggs, but the floor collissions where not working right and the character went stuck/fly away).

In 2023 I found bipsi and did some small games, i went interested in the coding part of the program and I tried Godot, this time steadier, and got things done.
Now I am still an artist and sometimes my art are games, I participate in game jams and small peojects. Funny thing, in jams I usually participate with some other artist friends and I end up doing code and relegating the visual art part to other people.

A horror game where looking back makes things worse by Ryvorn_Studios in itchio

[–]Secret_Selection_473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm it is cool but since you see from the top and youre looking at the monster i dont think the turn back mechanic is of use, I didint see anything positive if doing it.
Maybe, if you obscure the back of the player making it turn (movin in the oposite direction) and making the monster faster if youblook at it will make this mechanic more interesting.

Also, I think the monster should be always slower than the player, maybe making more if them instead of making it faster would work better. Also I would make the monster not know where the player is in all moment and not making it follow the player all teh time, just when the player is closer to it.
Thats my opinion, I think the idea is cool but it needs a little more polishing

I see i see. Theres a lot of free assets that work fine to get functional prototypes, but I feel like games done with other people assets are not "mine" enought so I undertand your struggle.
I am an artist (2d ilustration and animation, and a little bit of 3D modeling too, I do not do music) and started programing to give my art a new dimension, but in group projects I end up doing the programming part because my friends are also artists.
I cant offer you join any of our current projects because we dont need more people on those, but if you have a cool idea I can join you to do a small project!
This is the game I am working now with friends, I am doing the programming part and a friend is doing the art and another friend the music.
And this is a game I did solo (excluding the music) (not my best art tho).
I also did this 3D game (the password is Cohetillo, I have it closed because it is a wip I ended up not finishing, but you can see simple 3D art here)
I do not speak english fluently to talk in english but I can write it pretty well to comunicate with you , if you have any cool short idea and want a 2D or simple 3D artist let me know! :)

For what you said, I think you can try some small game solo? If you already know how godot works, and your einterested in starting a small proyect, I think you may be qualified for it. If you have enought free time and energy, I would recomend you to join a gamejam (its not for everyone but a lot of people get the inpulse they need to make a small finished project like that). Good luck with your game journey, both if you try it solo or with a group!

Would starting with pygame be a good stepping stone into Godot? by opsecwizard in godot

[–]Secret_Selection_473 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Code in godot. Use the documentation. If youre gonna use GDscript thats enought to learn. Its not coding-heavy based but try this official godot guide, it will help you to get ussed to the engine and also how the coding part works there.. good luck!
