Wow this game looks great! Defenitly gonna buy it when it comes out❤

I was the 800th subscriber! I just made my channel today

The death loop in programming works really well with snippets of projects, a complex function not working the way it's supposed to for example in this case it's good because you refresh your logic and try things a different way with the intention of making the current project better. Quitting the entire project will only make you repeat the steps you already know.

First video I've seen. This video is great. I'll be checking out the rest of your stuff !

That inventory seems like its designed out of lack of knowledge rather than needing too, people are gonna HATE the inability to drag and drop.

Me in my protoss voice "Not Enough Minerals!!!"

This is some real content. You sound like a level-headed and self-aware gamer. As a fellow game dev, I appreciate the insightful commentary (I also restarted).

I wanted to build my system on the paradigms of persistence. So, the backend concept is very similar to what I wanted to do. Basically an invisible simulation of everything is always happening, but the player pops in to just see a small scope of it rendered in front of them. Then again, I also want the full simulation route for my game. So need/want based decisions are apart of that. I feel it's more necessary for that method of design, because if persistence matters, the players interaction with the world shouldn't break the persistence of simulation. They have to integrate seamlessly to be convincing and constructive. But, I love to see how other people have handled these things, and love to see their differing solutions. Knowing what you need to achieve is half the goal it seems sometimes. lol.

I would consider giving items you can pick up a floating animation with a shadow. This would make it easier to distinguish items from terrain decoration.

Hey there, this game looks super cute! If you're looking to work with a composer to write the soundtrack I'd definitely be interested in discussing that with you. Let me know!

dude, you know im not gonna use brilliant, just cause their service doesnt intrest me, but the fact that they are supporting someone with less then 1k subs? i just gained a lot of respect for brilliant. also new sub!

I always like games with clockwork-mechanics, where NPCs behave like cogs in a complex machine (similar to real life, but obviously smaller). GOAP is a great way to do this. Hope to find some NPC-NPC interaction events soon ;) Reminds me of Zelda: Majora's Mask every time... ^^

I am making my own game, but in Unity. I too am just getting to the point of wanting/needing to add NPC scheduling. You went with a very similar method as I did. I have a custom script for "waypoint" which currently consists of a time (just the hour) to leave the current waypoint and a vector3 for the location. On the NPC script I have an index and a List<Waypoint> and if the time matches the current index's time, the counter goes up and updates the target position. I was really hoping for more .. insight.. as to how you were going to approach the zoning of the NPCs as well as what your approach to having them do something besides go to the next location. For me, (using you to bounce ideas / check high level logic) I am thinking of having an enum with different states that can get set once they reach their target position and then some kind of check for which state they are in and have an AI function/loop based on their state. As for the different areas/rooms/zones/scenes... honestly mine is still just the one area because I haven't had the mental fortitude to tackle zoning properly yet.

I just hash time, use the hash as index in the schedule, then lerp between spot, and apply the hash of the lerp value to a list of points that encode the path between spot, spot has an animation tag for context emotes. No simulation as the map areas hold reference to possible npc relative to time, npc position is a stateless function. Random schedule entry for variations, deterministic with a seed, abuse determinism to query were a character would be at all time, useful for a pseudo simulation of knowledge without storing anything.

Wait, what's the game again? I lost the plot!

This is a cool logical way to make NPCs feel more alive! Sadly, I don’t have any NPCs in my game so I can’t steal your idea 😁 Overall, cool concept and cool video! Thank you.

Good job! 👏 I really like what you did, tho i think they shouldnt come to a full stop for so long

bro 666 subscribers XD!

I agree with your inventory system!

just finish the game and relase it as test game and let it be a discuss around gamer, then start other project instead stuck in the same game over and over. There is Milion game out there, look at Five night at Freddy Game creator how many game he have until he made the legendary Five Night series. It's not the tools you have, but how you use them and Hard work always finds a way to pay off, even if it takes time.

I really like the animations.

Great vid man, trying to get a game started myself but struggling. I have some feedback tho. I noticed the hammer swing animation at the start, and it looks kinda sluggish. I'm guessing the hammer is quite heavy, but something doesn't look quite right. I think the animation could be sped up in general just a little, but maybe go slower while he's lifting the hammer, and then faster as the hammer swings down. Don't have to take it if you don't agree, but that's just something that I noticed. :)

tip dont use that font in thumbnails it might be missleading

Really interesting video! Though I'd suggest you some corrections on how you're handling the quests: Making duplicates is not ideal if you're going to repeat the quests, as it would cause an increase in memory use. If you're not handling that many quests, it's not a big deal, but it's important to make sure the "old" resource is not in use anymore. To make things simpler I would have used the move_quest_to_pool() method to remove it from the completed pool, making it easier to reuse the same resource and avoid duplicates. That said, an optional setting to allow starting already completed quests is surely something to add to the plugin. Again, nice video! ⭐

This is awesome, All the best for journey, I want to also start game Dev in godot. Can you give me any lead? I make games in Unity and Pygame for now.

Nice video

wow, it must be good if you only have 500 subs and are getting sponsored lol! Good Job

Weird question but how did you score a sponsorship being a relatively smaller channel? I don’t mean to sound condescending, I’m simply curious

Thanks for the shoutout - much appreciated. ❤

:)

your such a good gamedev yt your so underrated it makes me mad

tbh everytime im not liking something im doing i restart and it AWAYS ends up better than before. never tried it with a game, but like, songs, Drawing, animation, it aways worked

me also a big dum dum 0:50

Are those placeholder sprites? Or are you the same guy that worked on "The Way Home) mobile game?

I hope you enjoy the game yourself as much as the process of making it! I recently tried remaking a game but i realized i wasnt having fun so now im making one that feels great everytime i finish a feature.

Loved the video, Quick question. how the hell are you sponsored as a 400 sub youtuber!

I was writing a personal finance tracker and first changed from text-based Java to Windows Forms C#, full restart. I worked on that on and off for two years and then my hard drive got corrupted. Another full restart, no backups. I rewrote the whole program in four months way better than the previous two attempts. Sometimes a step backwards helps you see a better path, sometimes it lets you implement new knowledge. I like where your at and I'm glad the tangent helped you come back to what you want to do with fresh energy!

This game looks like so much fun! Hope to see you continue it!!!

i don't know why but in your videos I can't watch the video 480p it's very important for me because I'm in a dorm room and the internet makes the videos hard to watch

To be honest i think restarting games is a good idea as long as there is actually something to fix/change

Just found this video, the game mechanics sounds really cool! I'd say that would be better to have more than one stack in the inventory if reaching 99 is something that could happen easily. Anyway thanks for the shout out with Quest System! (also, yeah you pronounced the name correctly)

good story telling and smart editing, just do the game now

Been there, done that. I've kinda of wasted my time before becoming a father, now I don't have the energy with two kids (which, when you are putting in the effort as a parent, is project management hell itself!) I've started various endeavours (Voice acting, (pixel) art / animation, recently "thought" about feasible game ideas in terms of scope), but I cannot bring myself to keep going after an initial attempt. At least programming will be no issue, being a programmer. Might be just that for now. Working, after work it's pretty much more work and chores until 9pm, when you just want to slump down.

Having an art backgroud made it easier for me to think of game ideas, because i knew how to apply the ideas i had artistically. Programming is my 2° biggest issue, my first is making music wich i'm still bad at.

Funny how outsourcing and finding free stuff on the internet into a game can be so simple and so alluring. But when trying make everything by yourself, it becomes a colossal task, especially when it comes to 3D development. Learning 3D game logic, modeling 3D asset, 3D sound design. I swear, the human mind is not capable of being a solo game developer unless you're super efficient and talented, not for the mentally weak, I mean.

5 things I suck at when it comes to game dev: - Everything - I'm so bad at everything - Please help me - Why do I like this - How do I enjoy this

neat - good to be honest with your self.
