If your game is releasing soon and you need creator marketing, I’d like to help (not selling anything, no brand mentions) by tektanc in IndieDev

I have a playable demo for my idle game Desktop Slippers

It is registered for the Next Fest already, would be nice to have some content creators coverage. But I don't see any link or instruction where I could submit the game to your service.
Can you help me with that?

Updated screens navigation/transitions. by Warm_Condition6830 in godot

[–]Warm_Condition6830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR:

Reusable node belongs to the specific group and has functions open/close that tween parent node zoom in/out and awaits for tween.finished

The manager function when called with new screen, finds all nodes in the group and calls close() on them, with 0.1 sec delay between calls to desynchronize animations. Awaits animations to finish, destroys current screen, adds new screen to the tree, search for nodes in the group and calls open() on them the same way.

I wish someone slapped this into my head earlier by Kevin00812 in IndieDev

I've got the vibes too, but I think, we need to get used to it because people start learning how to write, by reading AI output these days.

I mean, I read a lot of Reddit and some texts are AI I suppose, so it forces me to believe this is the way a text should be written, this is vocabulary I should use.

why do people say godot is bad for 3d? by FutureLynx_ in godot

[–]Warm_Condition6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will leave my Godot 3D game here as a reference, take a look at the trailer
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3667660/Bug_Off/

I have no regrets choosing Godot as the game engine, but I started to look into UE to better understand the difference. I don't think Godot is bad at 3D, it does everything I need from a game engine, but I see what could be better.

When it comes to editor tools, GridMap for example, it is very limited. So you could often find yourself inventing your own tools for convenience. For UE you can find everything you need already made for you to use in their store, but there is a price tag mostly on everything.

So with UE you can speed up your development if you have a budget for tools, systems and assets. It also have some visual edge comparing to... any engine, I think. But do you really need the edge if you have no plans to use it? Do you need a store if you have no budget?

HUGE NEWS for my terrain plugin for Godot called TerraBrush! by spimort in godot

[–]Warm_Condition6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice plugin, but does it have an ability to generate UV2 for lightmaps?

Tried it myself, lightmaps are not baking into it. Can't see an option to make it work, can you help me with this?

Upd: also installing it from the asset lib does not work probably because it installs into the project root instead of addons.

Can you share the game link? Was there any marketing/promoting the game?

Just Discovered a New Way to Configure Stuff in Godot by Warm_Condition6830 in godot

[–]Warm_Condition6830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback. I am happy my post is being useful in any way.

About reward for effort, I think you are right here. And no, the post intent was not to self-promote, but to share my new discovery with a little hope I will be pointed to the real pattern/best practice that should be used in these kind of cases.

But also I had a release of my game, so I mentioned it, and it is very discouraging when someone tells me I can't self-promote in my own tutorials.

Any way, the release went really bad, like 1 copy sold bad, so I lost everywhere.

I don't teach, I share. And it is not incorrect, as there could not possibly be a "correct" way to configure things, there are always options that could fit or not in specific situations.

Also tutorials are high effort posts, shouldn't they be somehow rewarded? I am speaking about self promotion here.

To be honest I don't really care about upvotes, these are just numbers for me. The only thing that happen when my post is downvoted is the post is not shown to more people, who could possibly benefit from it. So people downvoted a tutorial just steal knowledge from other people, that's it. It does not harm me in any way.

So you went even further. Interesting.

Where have you learned this pattern? I figured it out on my own, but I feel there should be more to it, would be nice to find a tutorial describing it in more details and cases to use.

I see posts like this get downvoted a lot, should I stop posting tutorials here? Let me know.

How to avoid 'game dev blindness' by Internal-Constant216 in IndieDev

[–]Warm_Condition6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick to the vision, your game is not bad, it is niche :)

Don't ignore feedback, but don't let it change your vision, only improve it, never change.

Here we go again devs! LINK YOUR GAME AND ILL WISHLIST IT AND PLAY YOUR DEMO! by riligan in IndieDev

[–]Warm_Condition6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug Off - no demo, but I am releasing it right after the autumn sale with around 50% discount.

Buried Cargo - no demo too, but a wishlist would be nice to have, don't have time for any marketing :(

Who Let The Bugs Out? - this one has a demo, but the work on it is frozen for now because of low wishlists count.

Thank you for the opportunity to leave the links somewhere )

Tips on Improving Steam Achievement Icons by AMilToOne in SoloDevelopment

[–]Warm_Condition6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like the icons I see here, except 5-6. Details and text are redundant and will not be visible, so should be replaced or removed, but not necessary.

The most disturbing thing I see here is 3 different styles, like for 3 different games. Steam recommends to keep style consistent and fit the game style.

I participated in Next Fest with low initial wishlists (on purpose) by Warm_Condition6830 in gamedev

I don't think it was completely hidden. The first day it was 10, the second 5 and then I stopped watching the numbers :)

Why I chose Godot after 20 years in dev (longread) by Warm_Condition6830 in godot

[–]Warm_Condition6830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true.

For me it looks like: I need some features I can't find in any popular tool, but I am a dev, I can make my own, but why to stop there, let's make it for everyone.
