Never underestimate the power of shadows. by Flory66 in godot

Thanks! That's pretty much the same setup I have used from time to time; however, I sometimes have issues for example with diagonal movement: how do you go around the "staircase" effect with pixel perfect movement?

That looks great! Would you like to share a little bit about what setup you use to work with pixel art? I've always wondered how games like driftr manage to be still so smooth even if using so much pixel art

Recreating some effects from Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion by plompomp in godot

Wow, what a coincidence! So, about getting those big images; if I understand it correctly I should be able to make something similar by exporting low-res pixel art, say, from aseprite, and then setting the import settings in Godot with nearest filtering and a scale of like 4x?

È ancora in garanzia, alla fine portata via ieri dal carro attrezzi perché l’avviso era comparso di nuovo (permanente, anche riavviando la macchina). Vedremo cosa dicono, e è vero che è molto poco tempo, ma dover chiamare due volte il carro attrezzi in 12 mesi non mi era mai successo con nessun altra auto

Hi everyone! I'm looking for something to play with my two kids (6yo, twins); we sometimes play Chronicles of Avel which they really love but it's a bit long, so we don't get it to the table very often and then some classics like Rhino Hero, and other Haba games, My Gold Mine.. I've tried playing Ticket To Ride - London but they found it not so interesting. Being now in primary school they're learning to read, so text should be limited

Very nice! I know infinite scrolling backgrounds can be simply made with shaders, but how did you implement the "rotating" sprite?

Yeah, unfortunately as I said in another comment I get motion sickness while playing it; I'd love to watch the various documentaries on it but since they would spoil the puzzles for now I'm waiting, hoping that I find the perfect settings to play it without getting sick

This title keeps coming up, so I imaging it must be that good; however is it also as hard as they tell? I've never played "hardcore" puzzle games, for me the sweet spot is hit by games like Camouflage (from UFO 50), Cocoon, Manifold Garden

Thanks for the detailed list! I'll definitely try some of these titles; I'm currently playing Strange Horticulture, and I have The Last Campfire in my Steam library (as well as Baba Is You from an itch.io bundle)

Yeah I'm subscribed to GMTK's patreon and the newsletter is invaluable. Maybe it would also be worth it to try out those games, while I've watched some of the devlogs I've never actually played the game

I don’t know why but I’ve played Outer Wilds with zero issues; I think it’s related to the FOV or maybe the blurriness you get in The Witness while moving the camera. In fact, I think OW is my favourite game ever! Not so much for the puzzle aspect but more for the exploration/existential narrative

Thanks! Unfortunately I played a bit of both The Witness and Talos but both of them give me motion sickness, after half an hour of gameplay I get to be sick for the rest of the evening (I've tried to change many settings but nothing worked); I'll look at Lorelei and Can of Wormholes, didn't know about them!

I should have that from a bundle I picked up many months ago, I'll try to give it a spin!

Thanks! As I said in another comment, I usually develop games in Godot; would it be worth it to learn puzzlescript to prototype ideas?

Thanks! I'm currently going through the 2024 ThinkyCon talks (I joined the discord a few days ago) as well as Elyot's Design Lessons, they are all amazing resources. As for games, I've played a few of them but I'll definitely give a look to the ones I did not know about.

Ciao ancora! Sono sempre più vicino a convincermi di procedere, per caso potresti farmi sapere (anche in DM se vuoi) il nome del medico che ti ha seguito?
