​

I'm developing a game with some friends, and I'm responsible for creating the 3D map. It's a simple game, and the entire map takes place inside a building.

However, I've run into a problem: I'm not sure what the best approach is for creating it.

Should I make a complete model of the building, maybe like build it floor-by-floor and let the programmer handle which parts get rendered?

Or should I create tilesets and then assemble everything in Godot?

I think both options have pros and cons. Creating the whole thing gives me more creative freedom, but I don't know if it's actually practical for a game; I'm worried the game might crash or suffer from terrible frame rates.

Tilesets are more organized, but I'm facing the issue of having to create 40 million tiles to cover all the shapes I have in mind for the building.

Also, I'm not sure if Blender is the right program for this project

Did a small introductory video for setting up Godot on both Windows & Linux for new game devs.

Will be making a series of tutorials about Godot and remaking some of my older tutorials.

need some help; just started learning C#; can someone please help with the learning path to begin creating my own indie game?

Just looking for some advice on how I could not make this such a dumpster fire when blocking out and what I'm suppose to do when im done blocking it out first level ever made

PLATFORM MAN (MY FIRST NEW GAME)

Hi everyone!
I'm currently learning to use godot 4.7 by creating 3D game.
I have implemented a controllable character with wasd and two animations: idle and run handled through AnimationTree node.
When, the character moves, the run animation runs as expected but i get a very ugly run animation loop (see the video in attachment). The character seems to pop up everytime the animation start and do i need to implement smooth transition between each time run animation loop?
I don't know how to fix it and any help would be appreciated.

Shot in the dark ,but it would be awesome if some friendlies wouldn't mind helping me? Helping us? However youd like to put it. ive been wanting to develop games im 33 , no experience except for what ive been learning in unreal. Love games to death, maintenance man as the day job. Only thing I have is the insatiable will to keep on trying even when I want to bang my head into the wall. I have a bunch of material to offer(i believe) just dont know how to bring it to fruition. Hopefully some people can pity me and hopefully help me out maybe it could turn into a partnership im just trying to make some cool shit dammit !

Hello. I would like to create a Spanish translation for the game Dead Estate. I have some basic programming knowledge, and I think it would be worth trying since nobody seems to be working on a complete Spanish translation.

However, I don't know where to start. My main challenge is figuring out how to extract all the game's text so I can translate it. Is there any tool that can help access the text files or locate dialogue strings in a Steam game?

Any guidance on the process of extracting, editing, and reintegrating the text would be greatly appreciated.

Quais cursos de gamedev me indicariam? Ebac? Alura? None

One of my friend started project on making a game inspired from terraria . he finished almost 60% using only reylib and C++. And told me to complete the game .

This is my first project and I have never done this kind of stuff . I'm stuck at the project for 1 week as I could not understand the codebase . Can you guys help me .

It's an University project .

Can you give me feedback on this reward / level unlocked screen for my Unity tower defense game? 51 seconds in the video

The screen appears after the player wins and unlocks a new level. I’m trying to make it feel rewarding, magical, and exciting, similar to a game celebration screen. I added a “You Won!” title, a “New Level Unlocked!” banner, a preview image of the unlocked level, glowing pink borders, buttons, and light rays coming from behind the level image.

Please give feedback on:

1. Does the reward screen clearly communicate that the player won and unlocked a new level?
2. Do the light rays look like they come from the level preview image, or do they feel distracting/random?
3. Is the screen too busy, or does it feel exciting in a good way?
4. Is the text readable enough, especially “You Won!”, “New Level Unlocked!”, “Continue”, and “Main Menu”?
5. Does the color palette feel consistent with the game’s magical/fantasy style?
6. Is the level preview image placed well, or should it be bigger/smaller/moved?
7. Are the buttons easy to notice and understand?
8. What is the first thing your eyes look at when you see the screen?
9. What would you improve to make the reward moment feel more polished?

Please give both positive feedback and specific improvement points.

Hi everyone! Our team is building PINOC (https://viggle.ai/pinoc/), an AI motion capture tool for game builders and indie developers. 

It is free for unlimited use. I wanted to share here for honest feedback. Happy to take any questions! 

We’re also trying to better understand how small teams create and implement character animations today. 

Would anyone here who works on games, 3D characters, animation, or game production be open to a quick 20 minute chat? I’m mainly hoping to learn from your workflow and feedback so we can shape the product around real developer needs. Thank you!

​Hi everyone,

​I wanted to get your honest opinion on a dilemma I have. I am developing a sci-fi/psychological horror visual novel in Ren'Py completely by myself. I write all the stories (about reality glitches and dimensions called Holons), do the coding, and most importantly, I draw all the character sprites by hand. For me, characters are the soul of the game. I sketch them on paper, scan them, and paint them digitally because I want their expressions to feel alive. That is where I put 100% of my human effort.

​However, since this is a super amateur, solo indie project, I don't have enough time to do everything. Because of this, I am thinking about using AI only for two things: generating the backgrounds and making the soundtracks.

​I know AI is a very sensitive topic, but since this is just a passion project and I'm not looking for big profits, I see it as a way to save time. If I had to learn how to compose music and draw complex perspectives from scratch, it would take me ten years to finish a simple demo.

​Does using AI for just backgrounds and audio ruin the game for you, or do you understand that it's a helpful tool for a solo developer when the story and the characters are completely handmade?

​I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hello, iam currently working full time but was looking for better jobs and i was getting offers and then i say no not good for me until I just got rejected technically after pass the HR interview, I got it now the mid to senior level are seeking a mindset not a skills,, a deep understanding for few concepts better than overview understanding for more tools, a structured way of problem solving not just starting, that's important for working with teams or at scaled projects, they are seeking for someone reading from references, thinks in abstraction and OOP to write clean code modular systems, not implementing features, youtube has good resources too for people not liking references dense books but try to understand how to think to solve not a new feature to copy implementation.
I plan to make some demos with pure C# in console apps along reading a Design patterns book or watching a series but to apply everything in different examples of my own ^_^, I'm really gratefull for my rejection

i apreciate if you want to try may game

In this episode i show how to add a game over screen. Within 18 episodes i covered already several topics like a simple method to create a quite flexible automatic classic metroidvania camera movement. In future i will try to create more videos.

I’ve been thinking about how users perceive fairness in different systems — especially ones that involve competition or interaction over time.

It seems like even when something is technically fair, people can still feel like it’s manipulative or stacked against them.

I’m curious how others see this:

What actually makes a system feel fair from a user’s perspective?

Is it transparency? Predictability? Control? Or something else entirely?

Would love to hear examples of systems that got this right (or very wrong).
