Interesting. Once it’s ported to 4, I’ll take a look at this for sure.

I don’t know a lot about networking. I’ve only attempted and failed to make some small multiplayer games. But, I think that if you were in a position to actually have users with compromised systems, you’d also be in a position to hire an expert to close the breach. Maybe I’m wrong. But to me it seems like worrying about licensing fees. If you actually need to pay them, you’re doing way better than the average indie and probably have the means to take care of them.

I’ve been trying to focus on ones that have quests, so I have a clear path to follow. But it seems like, if there’s quests, there a bajillion quests which is also overwhelming. I’ve made some custom modpacks and those suffer even worse because I have no clear goals. After you’ve put a few thousand hours in a game, it gets hard to define any achievable goals that you’ve not done yet.

I switched over a few months ago. It works great! Not having to worry about the bill is very nice.

I have this with big Minecraft modpacks. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed with all the stuff to do, and I get none of it done. I wonder if it’s related to ADHD or autism. I’ve not been diagnosed with either because I avoid doctors like the plague but when you check literally every box for a disease… Welp.

It boggles the mind that the people being most judgemental about gaming are the self same people who sit for hours every night watching garbage shows on Netflix, and they see 0 comparison between that and gaming for hours.

I’ve gotten to fly it a little, hauling scrap for a Vulture pilot. It definitely seems like it’ll be a blast. Here’s hoping they can get things a little more stable in 3.20.

I bought a Reliant Kore game package a few years ago. I didn’t have enough PC horsepower to run it at the time so it just sat. Just before 3.18 came out, I got some upgrades and could actually run the game.

I had quite a bit of fun with it before 3.18 came out. Since then, it’s been too buggy to enjoy much gameplay unfortunately. So I’m back to waiting for more updates (and maybe more upgrades on the PC) before I jump back into it.

I did upgrade my Reliant Kore to a cutty black. So I’m looking forward to getting more use out of that ship in the near future.

I’m not a beginner and I got lost at the end of the section on C. Might give this python course a try and look at CS50 again on the other side of it.

Kind of in the same boat as you. Self taught when it comes to coding and I’ve dabbled in Rust a little. It’s way over my head, or was last time I messed with it. Strongest with C# (thanks Unity) for reference. Not saying not to do it but just giving a heads up from someone you might relate to.

Reddit who?

I’m not sure. That invite is the one from the welcome channel on the Godot discord. Maybe you can get their attention on the server?

Does this invite work?

I was wrong, it’s 100 servers. Here’s a video on how to get your server count without counting manually.

Are you at the free tier max of 200 servers?

A jam can be a good time to pick up new skills, or at least try them out.

Godot is fun to work in, IMO.

Being relatively new to Godot, I don’t have particularly good sense of what’s new or old but some of my favorite features of the engine are:

No. 1 above all else is how lightweight it is.

The fact that it’s totally open source and will never cost me a dime.

I really didn’t like GDScript in the beginning but after working with it for a while, I’ve come around to see how fast and easy it is to get things going.

I love that if you set a custom splash for your game, the editor gets the same splash. Makes it feel a lot more personal to your project.

Some of these are going to sound pretty inconsequential but I don’t think so. All of them remove startup friction and get you wanting to work on your game more.

∆V: Rings of Saturn was the game that made me go “okay, maybe I need to look at Godot again”.

I’ve joked that I could make a whole game in Godot while waiting for Unity to start up. Not far off reality, tbh.
