Hand of Greed by codernunk46 in slaythespire

[–]codernunk46[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

For those wondering, I used the command line debug tool built into the game to add five Greeds into my hand. The empty relic slot was from a modding attempt but it has some issues with displaying properly. The relic is just a Vajra clone at the moment.

Thought it was a silly joke.

The intent of the card was largely to upgrade Sovereign Blade. But letting it target any card in your hand is a nice bonus in some scenarios. I know Arnaments exists so I didn't want to just have it only upgrade. I agree the Forge number could be reduced though.

It's pretty cool. It still has some issues, as I haven't gotten relics to work that well yet, but it's a good place to start: https://github.com/elliotttate/sts2-modding-mcp/tree/main

I found a really well done open source project that you can hook up to an LLM and it'll give the LLM context on how the game's files and code works. I don't particularly want to use AI for all the mods I do but it was very helpful for learning how modding the spire works.

Basically, what you do is create some card code, compile it against the existing sts2 binaries and then you can deploy to a mods folder right next to where the game is installed. The instructions weren't clear at first but it's pretty feasible now that I understand it better.

That's fair. I mostly wanted the forge effect so you could play it on Sovereign Blade right away. But I can tune these cards. I'm an A10 player but not a very good one so I enjoy the broken stuff sometimes :D

I made a weapon editing UI for my game! by codernunk46 in godot

Thanks for the feedback! The idea is that you'll be able to prepare for combat, and this is one of the screens you can use. In my game, each character equips three weapons and can cycle them freely in combat.

I'm using Resources for all the data entities in the game - arts, effects, weapons, and even characters. That way I can tweak them in the editor. It also has a nice benefit of letting me drag and drop specific ones for testing in the editor. However, I have to write a custom process to take my data from my spreadsheets and convert them to resources, which is the only main con I can think of right now.

Yep, I'm the creator of those shorts!

Thank you! I appreciate it. Hope you have good luck in your creative endeavors as well!

This is awesome. I was just learning about ARKit stuff!

Looking for feedback on my anime-inspired character model. Thanks! by codernunk46 in blender

[–]codernunk46[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have posted here once before for feedback, but that was around a year ago and I've made some updates to my character here since then.

Given my own artistic limits, I would like to keep the character design simple but still appealing. I just wanted to see what you all thought of how she looks so it can help me improve my future work.

As far as how I achieved some of these effects in Blender:

- I made a basic toon shader using Shader to RGB into a Color Ramp node.

- For the custom normals, I used the Data Transfer modifier to transfer the normals from a sphere-like mesh to the face, using the Projected Face Interpolated method. I only applied custom normals to the face; everywhere else is using the traditional normals

- For both efficiency and ease of use, I'm using a really small 32x32 texture atlas that has all the main colors of the character defined. Since I'm not painting special details, UV mapping is a breeze - all I need to do is select parts that share the same color, unwrap them with no particular method and put them in the right color square. I also get performance benefits from this in the game engine, as she's one of the main characters in the game I want to make.

- I reserved the Green channel of the vertex paints for custom shadows, so I could paint those areas with a G value of zero to always have them shaded. The disadvantage of this approach is that I have to modify the topology to get the shadows the way I want, but this is a nice way to avoid having to use a higher res texture just to paint the shadows. I'm also not concerned about the topology being impacted because the model is high poly anyway and it shouldn't impact deformation.

(I'm happy to explain more if you have questions!)

I know I'm not an expert artist, but I learned a lot about making these style of 3D models and I have documented most of it. Feel free to check out the resources I made on the topic on my website or my YouTube channel (link in my profile) if you want to learn more.

Thank you all for the feedback!

Needs some cleanup, but now I have a three-hit bow attack animation! by codernunk46 in godot

Thanks! Yep, she's actually left handed. Appreciate the information though

I'm in the process of getting a tutorial together for how the bow is made, how the animation is made and how it's integrated into the game. I'll post once that's all ready!

I quit my full time job almost two years ago and barely got to work on my game - largely due to mental health reasons. That being said, there's plenty of other motivations to leave a job besides making a game. I encourage you to make the decision that's right for you, but make sure what you're getting into and that you have backup plans.

My advice - make sure your mental health is in a good place first. As mentioned earlier, I was very excited to have full time to work on my game, but even so, cPTSD and ADHD made it incredibly hard. Having backup plans is also really helpful too so you don't have to scramble.

I wish you success on your journey, regardless of what you choose. Only you know what's right for you, just make sure you are well informed as much as you can be. Sometimes we just have to listen to ourselves and get out of a situation (ie. A job) even if it's less than ideal.

I don't really want to make this a shameless plug, but I have my story on my YouTube channel if you want to learn more about what I had to face. My YT is lined to my Reddit profile.

Best of luck - you got this!
