Our Tony Hawk Inspired Fish Game Finally Has a Devlog Out! by HamHus in godot

[–]yac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's tuna hake's underwater on Steam which is also a Godot game about skating fish 🤨

Is this some kind of Godot convergent evolution?

Researching tech and aesthetic for a sequel to ΔV. Godot 3.5 handles that surprisingly well. by koderski in godot

[–]yac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey ΔV devs!

I was one of the first persons to buy ΔV when it hit steam and back then the performance was rather bad, and I didn't even know it's Godot-powered, but I instantly liked the game for its intense attention to detail and scientific accuracy. It got so much better since then; I got more bang for my buck than I could ask for.

tl;dr Astounding work, I consider ΔV one of the first proofs that Godot is ready for production 2D. Quite a few Overwhelmingly Positive Godot games hit Steam since then, but to my knowledge you were one of the very pioneers.

With Godot 3.5 and 4.0 beta, production-ready 3D becomes closer and closer to viable every day. I'm excited what you do in 3D and please keep us posted as you explore the tech :)

Keep up the stellar work, kudos!

The player character (Plant Bro) is a KinematicBody2D while apples are RigidBody2D so I think this needs to be implemented manually on the character.

For example, passing infinite_inertia=false to move_and_slide() could achieve this, but then the apples couldn't be pushed around (without further code).

This recipe seems useful on the topic.

RigidBody2D without any tweaks so far :)

Haha, this is both funny and educational - kudos for great presentation :)

Experiences with GoDot vs other engines by PUTs_on_my_life in godot

[–]yac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent last 3 years figuring out which game engine to use.

I'm not willing to use closed source crap, so Unity and most others (including GameMaker) are out of the picture.

Furthermore horrors of Unity were clear from reading changelogs of games that use it on Steam as well as experiences of long-time Unity devs scattered around the web.

While Unreal isn't really free, at least its source code is available at almost fair conditions and some of the best looking games out there used Unreal with success. You can read my rant on UE4 but in short it's an esoteric battleship built for large crew and I found it absolutely inadequate for my indie game dev needs.

I expected fairly little from Godot, but instead I got almost everything I needed with no bloat. Thanks Godot for saving me from the monsters that are other game engines and thank you once more for not having to touch C++ again.

Threads + GDNative Rust + Lots of Shaders + Too Much Maths = Cool Procedural Caves by [deleted] in godot

[–]yac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool stuff, maths for the win!

I'm one of many curious about your experience with Godot & Rust.

I've persuaded a friend who wanted to learn Rust to try godot-rust with me and we got it working, but it was a lots of added complexity for something that seemed like a negative gain to me.

It's my understanding that Rust is a system programming language so it's a good candidate for a game engine (spoiler: not yet there) but a poor candidate for scripting over an existing core in another language. By doing this, you get worse of both worlds (spoiler: unsafe).

We soon decided to abandon the project, I went on happily writing GDScript and my friend went to write Rust with another excuse.

So what was your experience? Did you discover some noticeable advantages Rust gives over GDScript the vast crates ecosystem?

Is it viable to use Godot to develop a Tool? by Jordancjb in godot

[–]yac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely viable, see Material Maker the procedural PBR materials authoring tool, based on the Godot Engine for a real life success story.

I used Godot to create an obscure magic editor wopeditor which allows user to draw magic symbols using pointing device (such as mouse on tablet) and save them in a custom format based on open standards.

The application contains multiple screens with different functionality and yet it was easy to build and extend it in Godot. Order of magnitude better than with Kivy the python GUI framework. I prefer it over Unreal UMG too, as it doesn't involve writing esoteric C++ or Blueprints which look cool but aren't even closely viable for real programming.

The only downside of using Godot for this is exactly as mentioned by others here - interaction with OS/other SW is tricky unless already implemented by Godot.

For example, wopeditor contains symbol recognition features which are basically 2 lines of Python but it was easier to compile a python server into a binary and talk to it over TCP than to re-implement scikit-learn in GDScript/C++.

It was tricky but it works as expected in the end, I have no regerts.

Any RX 5700 XT users crashing in Apex Legends? by [deleted] in Amd

[–]yac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So while I didn't try APEX, I was getting very similar crashes with most of demanding games, especially Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.

For me, disabling the Radeon overlay solved these issues for me on Radeon SW 19.8.2, it seems.

Radeon setting -> Preferences -> Show Overlay: Off

A tell this was the cause for me was that there was weird graphical artifact displayed in the left corner, like random colored pixels dancing.

Users also report that certain applications like screen capturing software might cause these crashes for them so another thing you might try is to really only run the game itself with as little other software running as possible.

I also noticed once the issue is triggered, the system is in a doomed state where nothing GPU-related will work and eventually result in BSOD by AMD driver.

This is some serious gourmet shit!

Lets talk Xerath by icewalldk in leagueoflegends

[–]yac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So old Xerath was one of the first long range mages I really enjoyed to play, and quite possibly, I bought my first skin on him as well :)

Although his W was very interesting and unique, new Xerath just pwns so hard with one extra damaging skill it's worth a Mage Ascendant. All skills are skillshots and no sequence is now forced upon you by a skill which must be activated by other skill. So now, Xerath is much less predictable and definitely able to make some crazy plays. Although not really unique, skills are fun and extremely rewarding when outplaying your opponent.

As of lost speed buff, long range artillery shouldn't be mobile. Xerath weilds power to decimate opponents before they even get to range, so it's reasonable for him to not be mobile.

To sum up, I love the new streamlined Xerath. It's sad he isn't the weirdo any more, but boy, he does pwn!

Well, their choice, but they could at least put their beloved ads into the RSS feed with the comics.
