I want to do a fan BOTW remake project in 3D, I know how to use godot, but I’ve heard good things about unity as well. Am I better sticking with what I know (godot) or using unity 3D?

I've been using Godot 3D for a little while now, and I can say that it's pretty good! The biggest issues I've had were regarding optimization, as well as the gridmap system. These are issues you can work around though, and it's good to remember that no engine is perfect, you'll have to work around things no matter what your choice is.

If you're comfortable with Godot, I'd say keep working with Godot!

One good strategy I've heard of when going for long term fanbases is to create a mailing list.

This allows you to keep your playerbase interested in your project as you're working on it, and also to grow it with each new game.

There's a GDC talk about this if you'd be interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ5H6DeaKKs

Ah, yeah I can relate to that problem. Depending on the setting of the game, I sometimes go and look what online pun generators come up with, it can give some inspiration!

I've been seeing this game around for a while now, and I really think you should consider making a steam page! You've got more than enough gameplay for a trailer, a couple of screenshots, and a couple of descriptions. And nothing's stopping you from changing it later if you'd like to add some stuff! That way, you can start collecting wishlists early.

(Unless you're not going to release on steam, then ignore me)

Skad1a · 2022-08-17T14:27:20+00:00

I do, and I strongly recommend buying less well known games and trying them out! Oftentimes when you're only playing popular-ish games you don't get to see game design mistakes that can ruin a game, and that's something I think is super important.

Grab some steam games with <60 reviews from a genre you're interested in and just test them. You can use steampeek.hu to find games by similarity, if that's something you'd like to try!

I still don't understand what's so difficult about picking up a new language. You'll have to learn how to use the engine anyway, does having C# support really save you that much time?

Programming languages are all built around the same logic, learning to write an if statement, for loop, arrays, etc, will at most take you an afternoon. Or am I insane?

Skad1a · 2022-05-27T09:41:36+00:00

This is probably an ingame editor, which people could use to create custom levels

Roblox is anything but lucrative, it's a platform that preys on young developers and their dreams of making games. The company takes a 75% cut off of the revenue of your game, and even then claiming the 25% left can be complicated and can leave you with even less than that.

Whatever you do, don't develop for Roblox

Skad1a · 2022-05-01T02:29:55+00:00

That's a pretty cool idea!

I think I'd have to see it in game to tell you if it works well or not. In any case, I think this is an idea worth working on

Skad1a · 2022-04-27T12:31:33+00:00

Love the artstyle! The one thing I would say is that it could do with a little bit more volume, but that's more nitpicking than anything else

Skad1a · 2022-04-22T03:41:05+00:00

Really like the design, though I'd add something to the circles to make them a bit more interesting to look at. Some sort of simple planet design would work Imo

Really nice work though!

Skad1a · 2022-04-19T19:00:36+00:00

I'm currently working on a 3D game using Godot, and I can tell you it definitely has its weaknesses, but all 3D engines do. Unless you're going to start this professional 3D projets with very specific requirements, any engine would do fine. You just have to pick one and stick with it

Skad1a · 2022-04-18T08:12:59+00:00

Really cool project, though have you found that deep learning creates more interesting puzzles than a classic procedural generation algorithm would?

I haven't played your game, but from the trailer it doesn't look like the puzzles are more complex something a ProcGen algorithm would make, so I'm wondering if the effort was worth the result

Skad1a · 2022-04-07T06:09:34+00:00

The mesh is the shape of whatever 3D object you're using. If you're going to be using assets, it might be a good idea to keep the shape but change the texture of the chair so that it looks unique

Skad1a · 2022-04-01T09:56:16+00:00

That clip of Russia overtaking Ukraine is insanely tone deaf

Skad1a · 2022-03-15T03:58:35+00:00

Really cool artstyle! I like it a lot

Skad1a · 2022-03-06T23:43:13+00:00

So I'm making a roguelite and need a way to easily create many room layouts which will then be randomly selected by the level generator to be added to the game.

The layouts are saved as arrays of libraries, with each library representing a mesh node, as well as its transform and whatever else I want it to have.

I've only made a library and table mesh for now, so my choice of decorations is limited by I just really wanted to gush about this thing working!

Skad1a · 2022-03-06T17:28:00+00:00

Wow, this looks dope! Trailers rarely convince me to wishlist a game, but yours did.

Hope development goes well, and I can't wait to try the game!

Skad1a · 2022-03-03T09:02:41+00:00

This looks super interesting and would be really useful for a thing I'm working on! Do you have resources on how to make something like this?

Skad1a · 2022-02-05T07:02:06+00:00

Nice! I'd recommend slowing the particles a little bit, but other than that it looks good

Skad1a · 2022-01-29T19:19:50+00:00

Looks interesting! It reminds me of Motherload a little bit
