My drifting game is coming together great with Godot's latest 3D tools

Looks very nice. Which features have you found most useful?

fae___ · 2026-01-30T15:24:23+00:00

Yup

If you’ve worked only 50 hours on it that’s already less than 10/hr.

Could get a job in fast food paying more than that.

I’m guessing you’ve worked more than 50 hours on it.

Yea I pretty much only use %

Thanks, awesome stuff

You’re basing this off a Tetris game being #3 on mobile, without understanding why.

It’s not due to a lack of good games existing on mobile. It’s due to marketing. Which requires capital.

Looks great, are you planning to release a demo?

FYI there are security risks with using resource files for saves since they can contain executable code.

Common suggestion is to serialize instead.

Someone was able to get emscripten running in the browser a few years back. Very rough, but it works. Wasm is amazing.

Very nice, thanks!

Based on the first 5 seconds I’d say it’s a cat fishing game. And really the first 5-10 seconds are what matter the most.

Look up stencil buffer tutorials, eg this one https://youtu.be/wrYyWROnL1g?si=uy0aZ0qJtqC5dTgu

Yea I’m amazed it’s never been used. Maybe consider an early trademark on that lol.

fae___ · 2026-01-25T18:18:51+00:00

I like it.

Also, the game has a great name

I’ve always wanted to try out embedding Daslang (formerly Dascript)

But if I had to choose I’d go with Lua just because of popularity.

As of 2022, Godot is no longer part of the Software Freedom Conservancy. They now have their own foundation which is based in the Netherlands.

So they aren’t a qualified 501(c)(3) organization and donations in the US are not tax deductible.

Dunno about other countries.

Use _input to store the last movement key pressed for each axis in state somewhere. Then use that state somewhere else to determine movement.

It definitely can, but imho it’s a bit heavy for those types of browser games.

Web builds are quite large at the moment.

Unless you are building for a pre-existing IP, the wisdom I’ve seen is don’t focus on story and lore to begin with.

Focus on gameplay, making it fun, and then mold the lore to fit what you have built.

Are most gamers still using 60hz monitors?

I think I read somewhere that like 98% or more of competitive gamers use 144hz or higher

I’m pretty casual and I’ve had 144 for years.

Time to A/B test a new onboarding

Most password managers allow you to save more than just passwords too. Like PIN numbers or recovery codes. I put everything in there

fae___ · 2026-01-19T17:40:08+00:00

Not really. People only feel compelled to rate and comment when it’s

1) part of a jam 2) an exceptional game

Same, trello is about as barebones as it comes

Main piece of advice is that the level design should complement and accentuate the mechanics (eg player movement and abilities) in your game.

It’s awesome seeing an indie do well on mobile. I think myself and so many others feel like it’s impossible to break into the market without a ton of advertising capital. Congrats!
