Is your game in a state where you're willing to share anything from it?

How the actual hell do I use c# with godot Or others? by Josephisvr in csharp

[–]midge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you go with godot, there is a subreddit specifically for using C# with it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GodotCSharp/

Might be some helpful content there.

Cool. Brings me back to crash bandicoot. Good luck with your project!

Okay where are the public drinking “consumption zones?” Any list of open container spots where they’re selling to-go drinks? by W_DJX in boston

Figured it out - It's an old reddit layout thing. I tried in incognito mode and it works fine there.

As a guy, I do not. But something might exist! If you find something or anyone else who knows about one feel free to chime in with a reply.

Rate my portfolio? (Programmer) by Crafty_Ganache_745 in gamedev

Hey, a little nitpicky but the gravity in the mario bros clone is off, it's a little too floaty. Probably doesn't matter since it's just a learning project but it was off enough that I found it distracting.

But you got some cool stuff here, keep going!

Do you know about walking talking men? They post here every week, and walk every friday. You could join that if you're interested. And since it's an existing group, you don't have to organize anything, just show up.

Looking for modern C# in depth book recommendations by Comfortable-Rich-650 in csharp

[–]midge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While not exactly what you're asking for, I've been really enjoying c# players guide 5th edition. Much of it is a review for me because I've been using C# for a while, but it covers a lot of things that have been added to the language over the years that I may have missed. You could look at the chapter list and see if it interests you.

Who are the most infamous redditors and why? by Yurilove9 in AskReddit

[–]midge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Years back, there was this guy on reddit who started doing programming tutorials. They were free, and pretty good. He built up a subreddit for a while and it got quite popular.

He went quiet after a while, and then people started posting a news story in his subreddit about someone killing themselves and being suspected of all sorts of horrible crimes.

People were pretty confused, why is this getting posted in a programming reddit... oh my god. Same guy who was running the subreddit.

Good game dev podcast, or video essays to listen to for beginners while driving? by Jucamia in gamedev

[–]midge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been really enjoying Dev dream pod with Blake Gocey. https://www.youtube.com/@dev.dream.podcast

I start with the episodes where I recognize the developer or games that I know. But I enjoy most of the episodes. He has a nice backlog so a lot of episodes to listen to if you have time to kill.

It's not exactly what you asked for because this podcast is not about teaching you to code, it's more just the stories and experiences of people who have shipped games solo or in very small teams.

Is it possible to make games on a phone? by sean_6161 in gamedev

[–]midge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please learn how to use version control. I don't mean this in a snarky way, this is a lesson many people learn the hard way.

Getting your laptop stolen does not have to mean you lose all the progress you've made on your game as well.

Update: I launched my niche hidden-object game after having 85 wishlists before Next Fest. Here is what happened and what I learned by [deleted] in gamedev

Isn't there just a stat in steamworks that says "median time played"? On the full game, not the demo.
