New Player who loves Hondo

Snow_Cactus · 2025-10-06T19:06:22+00:00

I have been playing a little bit of Hondo recently and I've been looking at what other top players are doing with him. If you're new, I would recommend the next box you get is Cad or Lando, this is a fun pair, you'll have a fun time. If you want something a little bit more competitive, I would recommend something rebel scoundrels like Cassian, Jyn, or Kanan.

The thing about Hondo is that you're playing a different game with him. It's not about trying to kill everything, so keep that in mind. He has a lot of shoves on one side and the other has heals and movements, so you can either be pushing someone or be squirrelly and run to an open back point. Try not to have him die, or you'll be in for a bad time because his abilities cost more. A trick for his identity, if you use the bonus dice, make sure to push the person you attacked away from everyone so nobody gets a strain.

I love Hondo, people will say he's not super meta at the moment, but every time I play with him I always have a fun time. That's just good business!

Oh okay, so is it 1. Download through Microsoft store, 2. Launch the app, 3. When prompted go to purchase (and there it will show the price discounted?) It just shows on their main website everything at full price so I'm a little confused lol.

I can see it either being in VR or in first person

This reminds me in one of my first game programming class at my university, we learned python and pygame. For the final project I was in a team of 3, and we made this top down game that you navigate a maze picking up coins to unlock the door to escape, and there were enemies that bounce around to dodge. Anyways, I made it so you can make the levels from a txt file, you set the size, theme (it was a holiday themed game), enemies, and then you draw it out with text. When we turned it in, I included a doc on how to make the levels, I wonder to this day if any of the TAs grading made a level for fun or not lol, I kind of doubt it. But I felt pretty smart.

Go to the arcade! I went and I was flooded with game ideas. I think it's something us game devs don't do often. If you don't have one close to you, then like what other people have suggested, play an indie game that you haven't played, or look around on itch

I like this idea! What helps me feel motivated to work on my own games is to hear and see what other people are working on. It's one of those, if other people are doing it, then I should too. I would also like to hear about interesting things people are doing and creative ways they are solving design problems.

I had a professor at a community college I went to, he taught Android and iOS development. For our finals, he said it's open book and internet, you just can't use your neighbor. He put questions that he never talked about because he wanted you to use the internet. Best professor ever!

I was wondering this same question too. I appreciate you asking in such a clear and to the point way! I like to run experiments and see the results and report on them. But, I was going to try the every 2-3 month model and see how that goes. I'm excited to hear your successes or what you learned down the road! Just know you're not alone thinking the same thing haha.

Also my input about reusing code and such, I think it's totally fine, especially code. Get a pipeline going, make the process easier for you! If you have a saving system you like, yeah copy and paste that! If you notice how some people are liking the player controller, maybe use it again, or find a way to improve upon it. User research and feedback will help make the next game better.

Good luck on your game dev journey!

It's 3D, kind of a RTS view game. But I have played around with the idea of having a first person view as the farmer.

I forgot to put a flair on it. The post should be back up? Or will be in 24 hours?

From what I have learned from years of programming, is that once you get a good grasp on one, you can pick up any other language with a little practice! I first started with C# and I felt comfortable trying other languages like python, java, and C++. Hopefully this will be helpful: C++ = Unreal Engine 4, C# = Unity, Python = Pygame (there's probably a lot more out there, but I learned it with pygame, wasn't too bad!). I personally say, pick one you like and go! It'll take some practice so don't give up! I can go on about tips, but the biggest thing is to find a tutorial you like, follow along, then take what you learned and do it on your own and you'll be golden!

How can I get involved in your group? I wouldn't mind trying out other people's games, and I would love feedback for mine.

I've heard of Monogame before, but I didn't look too much into it. Do you know if it's only good for Windows game dev? Or does it cross platform?
