I've gotten to the point in developing my shooter game template where I need to start making gameplay and design decisions.

This is mostly a project I'm doing to learn the engine and brush up on coding so I'm not aiming for a masterpiece, but a prototype to build from would be cool!

Hope I can be a Godot wizard like this one day! This looks crazy useful!

If you're an EU citizen and a gamer who cares about the legacy of the art-form, this petition is probably your kind of thing!

Played a good chunk of this and can highly recommend.
Really under-appreciated little gem!

Killing some time in Blender, trying to get a mood-piece or 2 done for my first-person shooter game.

Always liked the imposing and monolithic vibes of brutalist architecture and should also be a style that helps keep geometry simple for the game.

My enemy character now goes into attack-mode when he spots the player and chases after them when they loose sight. Need to work out some other states and behaviours to keep this interesting, but can almost call this a game now!

#GameDev #GameAI #Godot #Solodev #Indiedev

Working some more on my enemy state machine and I've gotten an attack state to trigger where the enemy fires bullets at the player. Need to work out some raycasts to find out when the player escapes their view and what to do next, but it's something!

Been following this project for a while and I think it turned out really well! Especially the music and world-building does it for me!

Thank you! Appreciate it!

These are self-made in Blender :)

Orcs Must Die style traps and Returnal?
This one knows what's good!

Ignore his knees bending the wrong way 😅 Should be an easy fix

Finally got his ragdoll to behave a little more!
Seems the issue was a combination of rogue vertex groups and constraints needing to get baked in Blender before exporting to Godot.

DAKKA DAKKA

Spending the day trying to bake this guy's animations and IK constraints since I believe they are the reason his hands and feet fall off when he ragdolls in Godot.

Ignore accidental music recording 😅

Just a placeholder gun I threw together fast and random, but it does look like an AA12 :D

GRENADE OUT!

Working on an armed NPC placeholder character for my little first-person shooter project. Gonna need quite a few animations for him but I'll keep them simple for now since he's just a placeholder.

One thing I love about game dev is the variety. Didn't feel like coding today, so I'm working on a new version of my NPC placeholder. This time with gun 🤘

The laws of physics demand it

Looks interesting

I imagine there's a lot to think about for more complex UI's. I'm going to aim for simplicity with this game's mechanics, so that might save me from the worst of it I hope.

Looking especially forward to getting a working options menu and direction indicators for when player takes hits.

Spent some time fixing some bugs with my shotguns reloading and trying to lay out a little options menu. Not much to show for it yet, but I'm learning at least!

Spending today's game dev efforts on getting some work done on my main menu. I heard some more experienced devs say that UI development can really creep up on you and mess up your deadlines, so I'd rather get some of that out the way sooner rather than later.

#Godot #UI #GameDev

Worked out a simple solution on how to do a main menu with a fade transition.

Looks fun!

Having an issue with my ragdoll's feet. They seem to just fall off for some reason and I can't work out why 🤔

#Godot #Gamedev

Thanks to @feles-machina.bsky.social for the tip about using the physicalbone3d nodes as hitboxes. I now apply a force on the killing blow to knock the ragdoll in the direction of the attack.

Stagger state now also works, but just freezes his animation for a set amount of time.

#Gamedev #Godot

Gonna have to fight the urge of trying to implement to many things and end up as a victim of scopecreep 😂 Been daydreaming a little much.

Main goal is to finish with a playable shooter in November with one or 2 levels, no more complex than OG 90's Doom.

#gamedev #solodev #scopecreep

You're selling this idea really well :D Gonna experiment with this when I have time to spend on the game again!

Thanks for the input! :D
