As always, I'm not sure about the selection of #gamedev tools.
I want to make an action game with side-scrolling racing (like Excitebike), dodging obstacles and colliding with rivals, along with a parallax scrolling background.
There are two major options:
Game framework + animation
Minimize scale of the entire program
Need to create your own functional components to realize your idea
Low limit of expressiveness
Game engine + physics + limits camera viewpoints
Abundance of ready-made functional parts
High limit of expressiveness
Need to research, selection, and adjustment of functional components to realize ideas
Redundant scale of the entire program
However, since the idea needs to be proven before that, block programming in Scratch may be a good idea.
#WishlistWednesday time! Wishlisting a game tells Steam you and gamers like you might enjoy our game, so if #somnipathygame looks interesting to you, hit the wishlist button and it'll really help us out!
I was just doing my daily scroll through my collection of #gamedev tags and I saw a post from @queenofsquiggles and thought
> huh how did I miss that in my home feed?
only to realise that it was actually made by her #peertube account @queen_of_squiggles... which I can follow. No way in hell you could follow a #youtube channel from #twitter but you can here. I always knew it was possible but this is the first time I've encountered it naturally.
Hey #Fediverse I was thinking about having some kind of blog to document my #GameDev projects I'm working on and give myself some kind of motivation to finish them. What sites do you recommend to do this?
Also, I don't know if there's a #Federated blog site or some tool like that that can help me with this journey. Any #Feditips would be appreciated 😁
Introducing: the BEAR. I fixed Schifahren's vehicle collisions and focused on sth less relevant. Like everything here, the bear is also fully code-generated.
Been coding for ~15 years, here are my top 5 programming tips
-Get a good chair
-Get up and walk more often
-Drink more water
-Don’t sit hunched, raise your monitor/laptop monitor height
-Know when to stop for the day
