Can't try GM out, in the middle of a project, but next game jam I could give it a shot. I always confused it with the Unity Game Maker, never realized it was its own engine.

Hahaha, I love this! I am on this very journey! It's not a 1 month journey, though. 😅 month two already. I had a huge laugh at your slopes portion because I felt that exact pain! I tried probably five separate times before I finally got it to work. I think I tried move and collide twice but could never get it. I am at the point of trying to figure out how to rotate the sprite based on the slope angle :) Love the video! Your humor is top notch

@samyam 2 ай бұрын

Thanks you! I calculate the slope with raycasts then change the image angle, I also reset the image_angle each frame because I found it messes with my calculations.

@dibaterman 4 ай бұрын

Yep, doing a 3d project in godot, I intend to get it done sooner or later, a friend may or may not join in so I spent a good chunk of the last few days cleaning up the code base, killing bugs and handling... errors that are not errors... Seriously GODOT throws so many exceptions and warnings... I get it delta is not being used... Today I FINALLY GOT THE ANIMATOR TO WORK...The fact is Godots Animation Player is putrid for me, mainly because they do not share a visual debug like Unity did so it is absolutely painful. Still I got it to work swimmingly with my code base... So my e friend does stuff, says he's like 8 out of 10 gonna do game dev but has to make time, I'm desperate now if only to have someone to work with on this project that I can sort of work with like a co-worker. It's not even about the project but more about bouncing ideas off someone who can speak in the same jargon. Regardless the project is coming along now and the animation feels good, so when he joins (if) it will be in a good place... hopefully,

I wish there were better, higher requirements to list games on Steam. Because of stuff like this is why 15k games are being uploaded to Steam every year compared to 4k 4 years ago. This cluttering of the platform makes it really difficult for great indi games to have a fair shot on release. At this point, one could make a business just offering to promote games. Since that's the key factor that'll make the game find success. Stop making games and be a publisher and help great indi games be seen amongst the thousands and thousands of disposable, low effort games taking space on the platform.

You aren't trying to make money making games, you are trying to make money making KZfaq videos. Here is my bet. You will make 10x as much money on the sponsorship from gamemaker than you will make on sales of this game. Nothing wrong with this at all, but be more honest.

@@checkedshorts she said the video is sponsored by gamemaker. if you want to make a game in 30 days and see how much money you can make, do you really start off with a video about the basics of a new game engine you are learning for the first time? Or do you use a game engine you have used for 5 years and have been a teacher with? This video is all about the sponsorship and nothing to do with the title.
