I agree, there are a lot of people looking for help to get started, not many people trying to find someone to implement and finish.

You can checkout the prototypes I started on this reply

Anyone else unable to post attachments to @bsky.app I keep getting "InternalServerError" for EVERYTHING (images / video)

I'd post a screenshot of my error but I can't attach it 🀬

I could use help with making unique models, rigging, and animations (we can use Autorig Pro / Animation packs for #2/3 though)

Your art looks great! I posted about my projects in this reply: bsky.app/profile/bear...

Wow! This looks incredible (also 6-pack armor 🀣)

I have two 3D projects cooking, a Dark Souls inspired exploration game, and a MMORPG similar to Everquest 1. I recorded a quick demo showing them off (VERY EARLY / WIP)

Incredible! Glad that worked out for you, maybe i'll give it another shot when I get further along with the latest prototype (but wouldn't hurt to find someone sooner)

I've never had much luck with r/INAT, did you end up finding anyone? (I'm also looking for a 3D Artist to work with on a project)

What is the best way to do object pooling? πŸ‘€ Reply From: Zylann Pooling in gameplay code is a concept, so it depends on what you want to pool, so there is no β€œbest” way in general, but it’s often common sense on a per case basis: Pooling s...

Of course! The quickest change was going from Godot physics -> Rapier Physics. Then I implemented Object Pooling for enemies. add/remove_child() are expensive calls, so I store enemies off screen until spawn and move them back off screen at death.
