Probably the last solo game I'm developing with Unity, I definitely want to join the Godot family next !

I'll keep it for ML-Agents and multiplayer games though :)

I REALLY should team up with an idea person for my next game jam. Figuring out a good scenario / idea is definitely NOT my strong suit πŸ’€

Just by curiosity (because I would never take the time to do it myself), what are the main things you dislike about current game engines, that would make you create your own ?

Looks great :D !

I feel like the question is : is it at a "big budget Amazon tv-show actors" level, or "cool cosplays portrayed by fans for a con" level ?

For the latter, looks great tho haha !

Hey there, don't be so hard on yourself :) we all started knowing absolutely nothing about game dev, it takes time sure, but you can produce a lot with how accessible the tools are !

I can recommend GameMaker, and overall visual scripting, so programming is out of the way at the start :) glhf !

Not necessarly ! I think you should try to discover a game engine, how it works, what are the main terms of it, and how you would use it as an illustrator :)

There are tons of them, but the most famous ones are : Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, GameMaker

I’d recommend Godot :) !

Game jams

Hey there ! I’d recommend trying your hand at a game jam, there are tons you can join here for instance :

itch.io/jams

It would give you a first experience, the opportunity to meet people, and creating a little game without much pressure :)

Good luck with your endeavors :D !

Update on my game jam entry !

A lot has changed, even tho the only thing that you can see is that ugly green square on the left, supposedly the health bar, that's not even working properly ;-;

Enjoy this little tutorial !

cleaning old Unity projects i'm not going to work on again.

it weights SO MUCH.
i should switch to #godot, at least for singleplayer games.

too in love with PurrNet to leave #unity.

I wish I understood properly how the YouTube algorithm works lmao :
- the devlog I was expecting to do well : does ok
- the devlog I was expecting to do ok : does great

At the end of the day, none of it really matters, but yeah, don't hire me for any social network content optimization πŸ’€ #gamedev
