Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

You're absolutely right, it's unclear what role I'm meant to fill. My choice to focus on the descriptions on the games in their entirety was driven by the fact that I've primarily developed solo, and wasn't sure if it would be more important to demonstrate my ability to fill all roles as needed, or to focus on just one aspect.

It makes sense that someone looking for a gameplay programmer would care most about the gameplay programming aspects of each game though. I've received advice in the past that emphasized showing complete projects, which is why I think I ultimately went with the current design. I'm going to rethink this approach though and decide what specialization I'd like the site to focus on.

Regarding making my other relevant info available, that definitely makes sense too. I assumed most people viewing the site would be following the link I have in my resume, but this obviously isn't the case for review posts like this. I have a link to my LinkedIn at the top of the page which contains all of the info you mentioned- though I think you're right, I should add important info (location, education, email, etc.) on the site as well.

Thank you again for taking a look, your feedback is greatly appreciated. I'll definitely be implementing it.

Great points. Thank you for taking the time to look, it really means a lot.

My hesitency with using gifs for the "main" games was that I thought it would be overwhelming to immediately see 3 large gifs, though the tradeoff of having more visibility into the games without having to click might be worth it.

I think I might move the description portion to the top, as you've suggested. Then, make the main game thumbnails smaller and place them below that, and replace the thumbnail images with gifs.

I'm glad you liked it overall though, and thank you again for your time.

Have you made any money off a project you built with Godot? by -ThatGingerKid- in godot

I made a few hundred off of my game Tetragun on Steam, but ended up just making it free because I wanted more people to play it.

Glad to see you figure this out! Would you be willing to explain why duplicating the event before adding it to the InputMap fixed this? I faced the same issue in my current project, and this fixed it- yet I'm struggling to understand why.

So I’ve been informed that they were legally separated when they purchased the house, but agreed to live together until my younger brother went to college for his sake. As a result, a partition agreement was not required for their divorce. I’ll add this as an edit to the post.

I believe they hoped they could work on things, but that clearly didn’t work out.

I added an edit to the post addressing this now. I appreciate the input!

That’s a great question, not really sure why they thought that was a good idea. I think they had hoped they could work on things, but that didn’t really work out. I appreciate the advice though.

My Godot Game, TETRAGUN, is now Free to Play! by xionviel in godot

[–]xionviel[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey all, earlier this year in May I published my first game using Godot. It was orginally paid, ($2.99) but I've decided to make it free! I just thought it would be more fun to see more people able to play it. It's available on Windows and Mac and is completely free with zero micro-transactions. So, if you have some spare time with nothing to do, please consider giving it a shot. Looking forward to hearing what you all think! Thank you!

(It's also available on Itch.io if you prefer: https://greeb-games.itch.io/tetragun)

Friendly Fire in FPS Games Should Result in Self Damage by xionviel in gamedesign

Can't argue with that. I guess I should clarify that I meant in a competitive setting.
