My First Month (or so) of Learning Godot

Hey all, this is what I've been working on for a minute now. I figured I'd talk not just about the main project, but a little bit about how I approach game development and how I approach learning new stuff, as well as what motivates me to keep going.

Yay I got a heart🥰

[@collinvisser7108]

Neat well done - keep going

[@HenleyBailey]

yeah, giving yourself time constraints especially with game design is a recipe for stress I've found. :D
It always takes at least twice as long as expected in my experience, usually 4x
Your project looks cool, good luck with it!!! :)
I've just started dabbling with Godot after about 10 years not making games. Kind of excited for it. :P

Dang dude, I didn't know you did the 3D animation to your sprites. looks pretty cool and was a clever way to make it

[@jakartacardiana1750]

Question for you: what is your experience programming games? How long did it take you to become competent in making a game?

[@StayBricked]

The only game I've ever technically finished is a super basic text-based turn based combat game against the computer, played in the console, written in Python. I am very new to programming. I wouldn't say I'm competent at game making at all (yet). Outside being new to programming, it's as I said in the video: dabbling with Blender and Unreal a number of times over the years but not really getting anything done.

@@StayBricked As a beginner aspiring to learn game dev, it is so incredibly refreshing to see your progress and beginning journey as well. Out of all of the game dev videos I've watched, I can confidently say that this one is one of the ones that has actually made me want to go straight back into making my game--it can be really overwhelming to try and watch videos that are for beginners, yet are obviously made by experts with expert-level game examples. Thank you for posting this.

Don't give up dude! Take your time with it. Give yourself a chance.
