that moment when you get ahead of yourself and start texturing before you finish making the environment... #indiedev #gamedev #godot

@henningsanden godot. takes maybe 3 seconds to load everything. unity and unreal have you waiting hours for them to compile

How is unity vs Godot for 3d games these days?

HDD + git + regular manual backups not that difficult

diffuse texture only

@gembia2 but there's so many ways you can change all of that lol. maybe youre just playing stuff from people who didnt pay enough attention to detail

really hate how when you can tell how a game was made in godot because of how Bad the buttons system is and how Terrible the fonts look and how Abhorrent everything in general is

@smokingcatsdev thats huuuge. congrats!!

4500 wishlists in a week?! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #godot

kicking is looking great #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

@FearMongrel i get that because for me obsession and passion bring a lot of progress. i always notice after a long enough period i need social connection and those breaks give me renewed energy and motivation tho.

@MrbiggsDEV that's true.. its hard to balance the passion and be able to turn your brain off, but it can definitely be worth it to take those breaks. and connection is the most important thing you can have. connections are everything for a human

I've put so much effort into so many projects over the years aha. scrolling my media tab for a couple minutes and I wonder why it feels like I'm still right where I started. broke and sad and confused. I devote so much time to my work that I push friends away, and for what.

@GamesByNoori really fits the game dev philosophy of "just make it exist first, then make it pretty." amazing progress

It’s been 1.5 years since we started working on FARSIGHT we have come a longggg way

like seriously. trust me, you want other people to create the games you never knew you needed.

@BaelEnix i appreciate it hahaha. ill make something dope 🙏

@MrbiggsDEV Oh so this is how it feels to talk with someone that knows ball. I will follow step after step the process, sign me as already preordering the pre-order

uncovering artifacts instead of just finding them (very early dig mechanic) #gamedev #indiedev #godot

i absolutely agree. i did specify its very early. i made it the way it is because its a modular script i can apply to anything on a site. i thought it through and im going to create fragments of artifacts too. also, in archaeology you'd use a small brush or trowel NEVER a big shovel for things like this lol.

@MrbiggsDEV So at this point why I'm not taking the entire piece of ground with the object in it and cleaning it later so it doesn't crumble. Like I get it but it's 2000 years old, try to dig it out and something will crack because of any piece of ground that isn't soft and can be digged

@BaelEnix i would love to make similar archaeological sites for the game tbh

@MrbiggsDEV It has the same vibes as the catacombs under Paris

@InfoRosebrock @LifeArtStudios its not a very helpful reply tbh. i make games because i genuinely enjoy making them. i was only asking because i was torn between two ideas i actually liked equally.

@LifeArtStudios @MrbiggsDEV there is a difference between making something for yourself and making a product to make a living from. None of us know the purpose of the game.

I need YOUR honest opinion: with this interaction system, would you rather play a game around archaeology? or a game that takes place in ancient times? #gamedev #indiedev #godot

@InfoRosebrock i whole heartedly agree. i toyed around with the idea of a narrative based fps in ancient greece but nothing would stick. i study archaeology so to me, its a very natural fit. although, i wouldnt make it as advanced as real archaeological work lol

@MrbiggsDEV I'd probably play the first idea because it's more unique. A game 'set in ancient times' sounds pretty generic and much less specific.

@jacekwozn14k ill definitely check it out. im currently prototyping, but also writing what blend sounds best. i super appreciate the suggestions btw 🙏

@MrbiggsDEV what about mixing both of them? motives from: ex: Darkest of Days ex: Serious Sam Shtick of timetravel that both enables being the archaeology and ancient sim. But those as I said, may both be pricy (time-consuming) to make.

@jacekwozn14k i have an idea for both thats why i ask. im an archaeology student too.

@MrbiggsDEV Make game you want to make first and foremost. As for rest, I dunno, would be nice but question that if you have enough resource and knowledge to pull it off or at least wanting to obtain those... that's why I wrote that first sentence. Seems fun idea, someone will play it imo.

@Solestia_JRPG thank you i will 🙏

@MrbiggsDEV Love it man keep cooking
