Godot sucks. nodev 05/18/2025 (Sun) 01:36:24 Id: 7e6005 No. 38 [Reply]

I beginning to regret ever choosing the godot to make my game. I feel like I've gotten to a point where all of the issues with the godot engine is hitting me like a goddamn semi truck. The engine feels unprofessional and messy. You have to basically jury-rig everything, some of the ways you implement basic features feel like you're doing something that was never actually intended. The godot engine tricks you into using it because of the hype around it and it being easy and simple, but you don't realize all of the downsides to the easiness until your midway through. Once you realize how shit the engine is, it holds you hostage because you don't wanna have to completely redo your whole game in another engine and start back at square one when your midway through with it. After I'm finished with the game I'm currently working on, I'm gonna move to unreal.

Don't worry bro it'll get better once Slay the Spire 2 comes out bro just have a little faith bro, after that game comes out Godot will finally have the support it needs ||In all seriousness, you could try the Redot fork, that's supposed to have actual needed features||

>>40 ive been using redot, but in its current state, its just godot with a different coat of paint and i cant wait till they fix shit, but i still have high hopes for redot and ill keep supporting them

>>10 >>9 It's also somewhat risky to use the site/board as a means of archival what with the deplatforming and such. The wiki is probably the best thing to use

Not a question but a tip, if you use Blender here's a thing I found for making it easier for putting in real measurements faster than having to hit a key to go into advanced input bullshit like second pic related. It's useful for doing architectural in imperial and so forth for me.

Not an /agdg/ specific question, but asking about programming in general. So I'm clearing out things out of the basement and off my shelves, with the intention of "starting things fresh", and just want to keep (Preferably) one book on each programming subject so that I can learn from it and reference later when I need to. The books you see in the images attached are where I have multiple books covering the "same" topic. Yes, I know books are "redundant" because of how everything is "one search away" on the net, but I'm increasingly distrustful of web searches given how much of everything (Especially related to tech today) seems to be controlled and biased. Including Jewtube video recommendations. So I want to have something that is actually concrete and doesn't change with the year, which is what books provide. So which of these books regarding C++, Java, and VB 2010 is probably worth keeping (Or better suited I should say) for the purposes of learning to program and utilizing their appropriate language and tool sets?

Cool effect when doing communications. This is a side project, so I'm going slow with it so more time can go to the main project.

How to monetize? nodev 05/21/2020 (Thu) 15:44:55 Id: 4dc834 No. 11 [Reply] >>13

I hope to launch my game in about a year, and haven't yet added any monetisation. The game-design aspects of it (what to sell, etc.) are a separate question, but the more important issue is: how do I do it, mechanically? How do I sell digital goods or modify a player account in exchange for real money? Do I need to make a deal with a credit-card provider or bank? Are there open-source libraries I can use?

>>13 *Otherwise, I've been curious about this too. Is there any platform that isn't completely ass? What's the best out there? Quite frankly I do not give a shit that GOG are a bunch of "SJWs" (reminder that the word gets thrown around so much it's not entirely accurate anymore; are they really SJWs or just removed some "nazi" content?) as long as they won't molest my game.

nodev 07/25/2020 (Sat) 21:25:44 Id: 3dc637 No. 16

I actually do want to maximize profit to fund more of my projects, so I don't see anything morally wrong with penny and diming the goys EA style at every step if necessary, but honestly it's just inconvenient as fuck for people to pay for digital content in 2020 and most people will pirate it anyway. I will probably make money through donations, because I really do believe that people will give me shitloads of free money if I give them a genuinely good game, because these are a rare commodity these days, and true art speaks to the soul. I also think it's more profitable to monetize shit related to the game instead of the game itself, eg: t-shirts and merch, events, royalties from corporate partnership, etc...
