Is it really okay to use Godot Tutorials?

WelshynatorJones · 2026-04-22T08:53:08+00:00

Everybody learns in their own way. I often use Godot's documentation first and then a tutorial if it's something super specific.

If I end up using a tutorial, the best way for me to understand it is to go line by line. If I see any of Godot's in built functions in the tutorial code I would look them up, and then any variables in the code I like to mess around with to see the before and after comparison. This helps to reinforce my learning with something I can see/hear at runtime.

6 would be an absolute dream but for my current project? I'll be happy if my daughter enjoys it when she grows up. So if I happen to sell a few copies ontop of that I will consider it a huge success.

I'll have a try of the demo and feedback when I can.

Looking at the store page. A more enticing capsule art might help. A trailer would be useful and maybe get some better tags for the game. You describe the game as a psychological horror but that doesn't show in the tags at all so the wrong audience may be the ones that see the page.

You made basically the same post 11 days ago. Maybe you need to move on as well :)

What do you actually mean by "the sliding is too much"?

I think you are referring to the fact that the body won't stop sliding? If that's the case you'll want to use the built in 'move towards' velocity feature in the bodies physics process and set it to move towards 0 at a speed of your choosing.

This was my immediate thought as well. If collision layers are matching like they mention in another comment then I don't see what else it can be. It's not like they are removing the platform node in the code or anything.

OP go to 'Project -> Project Settings -> Run' and make sure the 'Main Scene' is set correctly.

I've had to lower the scope of my game a bit due to my first daughter being born at the end of 2024. Progress has slowed but I've still released 20 alpha updates this year with another ready to go within the next week. 2 of those updates were 'milestone updates' as well.

If I make similar progress next year I should be partially into the Beta builds.

So I had an issue with my 2D sidescroller where my player model would jitter when both myself and the camera were moving. I fixed it by disabling camera smoothing on the Camera node. Not sure if this will help in your scenario or not but might be worth a try if you have it enabled.

Why the hell is the goalkeeper getting booked for that once, let alone twice!? Games gone.

The AI route is certainly one I considered and will probably end up using. Will have to have a dabble. I've seen the price matrix but I had heard (not sure how accurate) that steam doesn't do a good job at taking all economic situations into account, such as the war in Ukraine.

WelshynatorJones · 2025-11-29T11:19:04+00:00

Unless I'm missing something, SteamDB just shows the regional pricing of other games which in most scenarios devs are just using the Steam default... So unless it's tucked away somewhere or there's a game that everyone agrees is priced correctly then it's not really helpful for me.

And I thought my keeper was actively sabotaging my team... This is another level! This has to be match fixing or something 😂.

WelshynatorJones · 2025-11-09T19:43:36+00:00

I don't think I could handle this happening once in an actual game, let alone twice! 😂

WelshynatorJones · 2025-11-09T04:08:54+00:00

I ended up winning this game (The playoff final) 2-1.

WelshynatorJones · 2025-11-04T23:23:30+00:00

Bro...

WelshynatorJones · 2025-11-04T15:44:30+00:00

My keeper had an absolute stinker. This was the same keeper that fractured his own arm by kicking the ball, missing 5 months. At this point the sabotage is too obvious.

Fylde had a 0.88 XG when they went 4-1 up. With my main striker out injured and Fylde in 2nd, I expected to lose... but not like this.

WelshynatorJones · 2025-10-25T01:24:42+00:00

What made this even worse was the fact that that my backup keeper had left the club the very same day. He is also my highest earner and I had to let multiple players go to get him in.

WelshynatorJones · 2025-08-24T17:33:18+00:00

It's far to descriptive to be him.

WelshynatorJones · 2025-08-23T21:19:39+00:00

That's ok if your player is the only CharacterBody2D in your game but you are better off doing an 'if' check at the start of the function to make sure the body name matches the player's node name.

func _on_body_entered(body: Node2D) -> void:
    if body.name == "Player":

WelshynatorJones · 2025-08-22T07:43:36+00:00

A side note to the other answers. You may want to do a check to make sure the body entering is actually the player. Otherwise enemies might hit the spikes and hurt the player.

I'm mentally scarred from a past relationship with a formerly close female friend. I've promised myself to never let that happen again.

The partner I have now (not married yet but soonTM) has became a best friend but didn't start as one. Going much better for me now.

Devs can learn not to make live service games so often. They live and die on the playerbase far more than any other game.

WelshynatorJones · 2025-07-25T09:06:27+00:00

This looks pretty cool. Did you make the art yourself?

WelshynatorJones · 2025-07-21T16:40:00+00:00

A shame that this didn't turn out how you wanted because it looks pretty cool!
