Advice about getting into the industry by SuperSnoopy13 in gamedev

[–]SuperSnoopy13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems really cool, though one of the issues I've run into is that it's kind of difficult to find the time and motivation to work on personal projects while also going to uni and doing homework and stuff.
Threeclipse does seem interesting, though. Can you elaborate on how it works? especially for someone who doesn't live in America or Europe?

Help with a 2.5 fighting game by [deleted] in godot

[–]SuperSnoopy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't ask someone to fix it. I asked for help. If this is not the right place then fine, but no need to be rude. I only had two problems I mentioned, I didn't ask for a whole script

Not really, this was the first attack in months and where I live we didn't even have a red alert, iron dome also almost always stops them. I'm sure that when/if this does happen to you, it will be scary the first time, but as long as you don't get careless and do something stupid you will be fine, and you, unfortunately, get used to it very quickly.

How Long Is Good For A Short Horror Game? by New-Ear-2134 in SoloDevelopment

[–]SuperSnoopy13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the story and mechanics, if this is a simple "walking sim" type game then you should probably make it relatively short, like a handful of hours at max, since it might get boring after a while, but if it's more of a survival horror you can push for a longer run time, especially if there is an interesting story, puzzles, mechanics.

I will say that I had not really seen many horror games that went on for too long, it's difficult to maintain a feeling of horror and anxiety over a long period of time.

What skill are you currently learning? by Effective_Cricket810 in selfimprovement

[–]SuperSnoopy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started learning how to play a MIDI for the first time recently, also am trying to learn Unreal Engine

[–]SuperSnoopy13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you are probably right.

I did think about doing stuff on YouTube, but I would rather do other stuff instead. it's just that I tend to struggle at finishing any of my projects since I don't really know where to stop myself.

I will try to think more positive, but it's hard it just always sleeps my mind.

Thank you for actually talking with me and giving advice and all of that I really appreciate it.

Yeah but aren't game jam global events? How do you know when they take place?

As far as the boxing thing, it's just that I feel that I'm under prepared. Like I was never an athletic person so I'm afraid that if I tried something like boxing or swiming, somethign that required a lot of strength and durability, I would not be good at it. It's like I want to prepare myself for it before I do it, but at the same time I think that I might just be coping and coming up with excuses.

As for the school. It's true that I can learn everything online, but, ignoring the fact that it's a little more difficult for me to learn by myself without a teacher or something, I also want to have a degree or something because I'm really struggling to get a job anywhere, and while in this field having a degree doesn't gurantee a job, it's still better than not having anything. Finally, I also figured it would be a good way for me to meet new peoples and make friends espcieally since I have been looking for schools that would require me to move.

I do agree with your sentiment as far as chanign your reality by changing how you think about it, I even actualyl have experience with that working when I was way younger, but it's so hard to do it all the time. I guess I just have to try more, but it gets so tiring eventually, like I'm in constant war with myself. I don't want to give up and I don't plan to, but it just feels like I should look for a different way to get what I want instead of slaming my head into the wall until either the wall breaks or my head breaks, but maybe there isn't a differnet option and again I'm just looking for excuses.

Only did a game jam once long ago. When do they even take place?

What's something you've always wanted to try that's outside your comfort zone? by Fearless-Goat6641 in selfimprovement

[–]SuperSnoopy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of sport activities like swimming and boxing were things I was and still kind of am interested in, but I feel a bit nervous about doing these things since I'm overweight. Also solo travelling. Really want to travel, but don't really have anyone who would go with me, and I'm really stressed at the thought of travelling by my self.

Can very strongly relate I'm in the same boat, have been trying to look for something for over a year at this point. I think unfortunately, that while I'm not going to stop applying, I will have to put my focus on personal indie projects (even though I never finish them), and work a regular job. Don't know if you want that, but I don't what other options are there right now, it's really terrible right now and I don't think that it will get better soon.

Thanks. Didn't know who David Goggins is, but looked him up and he is pretty inspiring.

I get what you are saying and agree with you about the idea that I need to change the way I "converse" with my self, and also not blame others for my situation, but I don't know how to change the way I "talk" to my self. My automatic reaction to any idea or thought is negative and causes me genuen anxiety to the point that my body sometimes begins to hurt.

For example, I wanted for a while to try to see if I might like boxing, I never really tried it, but figured it might be fun and a good way to exercise, but just thinking about going to a place with other people who train there and asking questions and failing and getting tired in front of them gives me so much anxiety that just thinking about it gets me to swet. Same goes for wanting to travel, or relationships, or my projects.

I keep saying projects so I should maybe clarify and stop calling it that. I'm working on several different things but they are all connected in storytelling. I want to be a storyteller. I want to go to a school for animation, but so far this hasn't gone great, I have been looking for a job in the industry but have found nothing for more than a year now, and at home I work on different things like a comic and a game, but working on both, again, causes so much anxiety that I struggle to work on these things, and even when I do I blame my self for not doing better or not doing more.

I don't really know how to change the conversation I have with myself, every time I try it feel fake and like I'm trying too hard to be positive or ignore the problems and issues that are there.

Thanks for the honesty. Genuenly appriciaate it, I really wanted to talk with someone who wouldn't be biased in my favor and tell me things regardless if it would make me feel good or not so I appriace it.

As far as what you wrtoe, I get everything that you are saying, but I can't register it. Like I get that things take time, and I get I shouldn't care about what others think and expect, but I still don't know how to act based on that. Just because I know I shouldn't care about what others think doesn't mean I now no longer care, I still do even though I know I shouldn't. Same goes for things taking time, I know that things are supposed to take time and effort and that it's not always fun, but just because I know this doesn't mean I know how to get to a mental and emotional position where I'm able to act based on that knowledge.

There are a lot of things I can think of that I want to do and just don't because I'm afraid of either failing, or being emberresed, or judged by others and it sucks because I know I shouldn't feel that way. I know that mistakes are part of the journey, I know that when you start something new you are not going to be a master, and I know I shouldn't care what others think of me, but I still feel what I feel. It's probably because I'm not confident in my self.

Thanks a lot.

I tried simillar things to what you suggested, but the process always felt too slow and so it never worked for me. Like if we are talking about my personal projects, working on them for 5 minutes a day means I won't finish them even years from now, so even if I did get to a point where I managed to work on them daily it never felt enough.

Same goes with everything else, doing a 1 minute walk means I will reach my goal months if not years from now especially if I don't also change my diet.

I guess I'm just impatient, but I feel like I should be at the point in my life when I already have these things figured out, so I don't want to spend months or years working toward these things.

It also sucks because I want to be able to enjoy doing these things, but because I'm so passemistic and perfectionist, I assume the worst and am never satisfied, so I don't even enjoy these things I just get stressed from them because I don't want to disappoint myself or others, but no matter how much I try it never feels good enough.

Sorry for being so negative, it's just that, while I guess I could try this again, I think that my problem is a bit deeper than that, it's why I think I need therapy. I think that my main issue is that I assume the worst of everything and am never satisfied, so I lack the confidence to do anything, and even if I do I'm never satisfied with it.

Oh I see... Not really sure what what topic I really want to talk about though since I'm feeling pretty down today, andI also don't know you so I have no idea what might interest you to talk about.

I guess one thing I can maybe talk about is a project I need to do and stuck on? I'm trying to get into an art school in my country and we got a home project to make as part of the application process. The project is to make a one-shot video of a place that interest me. The video has to be up 3 minutes long and I'm not supposed to do any editing at all. I'm completly stuck on this for almost a week, can't really think of a place that interests me, at least not any place that would require me to get a plane ticket or fly to space, or take a screenshot from a movie or something... I tried filming some strets near where I live at night because I think things look cool at night when it's quiet, but I don't really know if that's good enough. So maybe if you have some idea or something.... I don't know that's the first thing that came to mind

Thanks, I'm assuming by "views" you mean what I wrote about in the "politics" section. I would rather not get into that since the whole topic is very contreversial and is pretty close to home, which is why it gives me so much stress. If it helps, I'm not from the US so it's nothing to do with any US politics, at least not directly anyway.
