Post processing effects really do make a huge difference in the aesthetic of the game. Talented dev, cool games and awesome videos, easy one of my favorite content creators on youtube!
nice to see youtube game devs actually refactoring their code instead of letting the pile grow astronomically high and then dropping the game, good work!
Now for anyone here, this might look like a pretty good game. But from a somewhat experienced game dev, I can tell you that this looks REALLY F***ING GOOD. Keep up the great work!
I'm pursuing a major in Interactive Narrative rn (used to be Game Design, but I swapped majors when I realized how much I sucked at coding), and I can absolutely imagine how much anxiety and sunk cost fallacy would be looming over your head at the thought of completely refactoring your project. Kudos for seeing it through, and I'm glad that you're becoming satisfied with the results of your work! It can be boggling to see how much progress you've made over time, especially when you're redoing what you did earlier in your creative career. Excited for the next devlog
I was freaking out from the title, glad you went with the heavy refactor route. I've been at the "restart" or "refactor" stage before, and I'll just say that if it is salvageable do it. Otherwise, work on another project for a while, then come back to the original. You'll see all of the glaring issues, and clearly see the next steps.
If I hadn't cultivated a "You have to finish it" mindset, I'd have probably started over or given up on my current novel. Fortunately, we writers have a little thing we like to call, "Fix it in the edit."
Sadly I started my college classes again and i've been severely slacking. I'm trying not to completely abandoned it because i spent so much time learning godot. Great video
Start using version control / git. That way you can just delete code and still have the history in case you need to restore or look it up some time later
One tip I would give for future projects is, it’s not enough to just become a better programmer. Infact as you learn more you may reach this new sense of overwhelming ideas for implementation that make it difficult to even begin something. Always plan out systems in the design phase. Before I implement anything I always have a docs open doing a system write up , this will help iron out any potential future conflicts you may run into and keep the codebase much cleaner.
on everything I love, I NEED you to make a tutorial on how u set up your lighting nodes to get the post-processing effects, or im going to crash out. There is exclusively simplistic tutorials on Godot lighting, and you clearly learned more advanced techniques. I feel like you're really missing out on the niche that is advanced Godot tutorials.
If it's as heavy as you're describing, playing a video will be lighter and ensure good frames on lower-end hardware. Having said that it can be a bit tricky if you're supporting multiple screen resolutions to provide multiple video files without bloating out the game's file size. Feel free to ask more specific questions if you want, I've been working professionally on games for 10+ years and did do a stint on optimisation (for VR games).
Something which completely changed the way we do our startup is getting an experienced dev to help us with architecture. Spent 2 months refactoring and was so worth it. Now we all understand how to do proper architecture even without input from that experienced dev. Moral of the story is code with people who have been doing it much longer than you every now and then. You could save yourself months by spending weeks or even days.
While it may seem like going back to simplifying code or improving systems you've built in the past is a step backwards or a waste of time, it's really a good step forward for implementing new content in future versions. Keep up the good work!
Great job making the decision to refactor dude, that's honestly one of the hardest moves to make lol I feel like lots of us want to just bulldoze through the funk and hope for the best 😂 alright now for me to restart my game for the third time
Hey man first video I've seen from you. Just want to say your game looks really good. I really like the animation of the shop rolling up and the overall look of the game. Keep up the good work
Things that *really* help with that "I might need this later" urge: Source control. Even as a solo-dev it's incredibly useful to have a useful backup of your game, it allows you to delete code without worry since the source control system can help you restore it properly if you realise you needed it later. It's especially useful when you get to release when you need access to the released version, a test version for bug fixing, and potentially a vNext for DLC.
The visuals of this game always looked very coll. I have only one suggestion: enemies' feedback when they take a hit should be more evident, like a sort of falsh or something
A few tips from a mostly-programmy dev here, unsolicited but hey you don't have to read it: 1. Messy code always exists, and can always be refactored/optimized. If "fixing" it doesn't affect player experience nor your dev experience, then it's not worth it. All that matters is if the end result looks and plays nice, and is not hell to develop later on. Any jankiness under the hood doesn't really* matter as long as it functions fine with few bugs. I think you did a good job with that here, just be aware for the future. 2. Restarting your game is always tempting, especially after learning so much. Been there, done that, not worth it usually if you want to make this into a commercial release unless it legit runs at 10 FPS and looks like it was made in MS Paint. Granted this does depend on the project and your budget/timeframe etc., but I think refactoring here was the right choice. 3. If you really need to optimize code for performance or whatever, do it last in the project scope, as doing it too early (i.e. anytime before you're 95% done with the game) could very well result in you optimizing code that never even makes it to the final release, i.e. if you were to have optimized the melee-attack code. 4. In Godot, the Marker2D node is perfect for designating a position in the world that the dev can see/control, but is invisible to the player and doesn't contain much other overhead compared to some nodes. Perfect for setting those spawn positions! 5. When implementing something you're not sure about, or don't know if you really want that clutter, i.e. a new wacky gun that doesn't really fit your vision, I recommend not spending much time on art for it. See how it feels to use, and see if you'd like it in the game, then make good art for it if it feels like a good permanent addition. This will save you valuable time in the dev phases and, like with code optimization, should be done later to avoid deleting hard work and wasting that time. That all being said, this game looks amazing and I hope it's much cleaner for you as a dev. Sometimes we gotta cut corners as you mentioned, and "good enough" is way more achievable, and gives just as good of a result compared to "perfect"
Great video and it's excellent to see you realise a restart was needed. It's looking awesome and I hope it goes well. Also you mentioned you used to always comment out code that you no longer need. Are you using source control because if you are then all those changes would be saved in the history and you can delete until your hearts content.
The gamedev urge to restart your project... But seriously man, you gotta use version control, at least for the code. Learn you some basic Git, so you don't have to keep commented code laying around. It also makes refactoring easier, because you can just go back if something goes wrong. And the project looks really cool, it's got that vibe!
Did you add your project to a source control like Git yet? It really helps when removing stuff, because you know you can always go back to older versions of the project and reapply the removed code. Also it's a nice backup in case your PC corrupts, breaks or gets stolen.
How did you learn to do post processing so well the atmosphere looks so good I’m making a 2d top down game and I’m trying to make it look good and it still looks so bad 😂
Honesty I don’t think there’s anything wrong with restarting the project. As long as the person’s still working on it, I’ve always seen it as a good sign.
If you're refactoring anyway, might I recommend declaring variable types and static typing instead of dynamic typing? You'll get performance benefits and easy bug-fixing like this!
Not sure if you use version control, I'm only two minutes in. When you mentioned leaving in commented code because you're scared to delete it - that's one of the benefits of git. As long as that code existed in one of the commits in your history, you'll always be able to find it again
@@mz_eth I am pretty sure there is a cap on the amount of 2D lights you can in a scene (at least I can't have more than 16, and people seem to say the same online). Are you perhaps making the game with 3D lights? :o
@@mz_eth Well it's a relief to know that is possible to make a game with lights like yours without it causing troubles! :D I guess you only have few lights in one scene at a time then? Like the major lights in the room? Do you then just use a shader for all of the smaller lights (bullets and particles), or do you just set them to glow via the environment node? Also sorry for the flood of questions, I really like the content you create and the lighting in your game just looks so satisfying! ^^
@ I utilize real and fake lights, so early on I put a light2d on a bullet and discovered I’d rather have more chaotic game play than really flashy bullets. Shooting fast with light2ds on bullets slowed performance quite a bit. Instead what I do is put a shader material on the bullet sprite and set it to unshaded so it is unaffected by lights. Usually in any given scene I’m only using around 5 -10 lights
The mixing of light and shadow is super inconsistent 😅 why does the fire throw a long shadow for you but not the lamp you are holding? The lamp isn’t even lightning up anything…. The dynamic shadow looks good but it inconsistent then it looks bad like why only this emits shadows but not other light sources…..
@@FortbloxNET utilizing shadows is a big performance hit, so I use it sparingly for important elements. Nothing will be perfect, I think the lamp not having a shadow is fine, if anything I push for less shadows
@ naaaah I had a project similar to this. With top down. And shadows everywhere. It depends on the implementation. Not everything muss be a performance killer, it’s 2d and not 3d RTX whatever 😅 if that’s your artistic art style then do it as you wish.
@ the shader that makes fog mixed with shadows absolutely has performance hits. Don’t you use unity? Also your games don’t have much lighting or effects at all it seems? Also are you testing in 4K or ultra wide?
@ yes unity. My mentioned game is not on my RUclips channel 😊 I don’t test with 4K or wide support. Why would I? If the game is made for 16:9 1080p that means it zooms in on 4K. You don’t get more stuff to see. Don’t know if I explained well. And my game has chunks. I render shadows only for the part what you see and not somewhere offscreen. It should not matter how much shadows you use if you show 2d shadow only on screen. It should not really matter if you have one shadow emitting objects or 100. it should all be rendered on one kind of shadow layer that you display. Why can you zoom out on terraria in 4k like hell and every tile has its shadow „theoretically“ and your pc doesn’t explode?
Yeah 100% main characters in my type of games never really need them. In the beginning I did it because everyone suggested it, but after experiencing both, state machines make more sense for enemies

Did you ever hear of GIT? :P -- So you can just DELETE code you don't need, give it a nice comment so you know what you deleted and commit. And if EVER you decide you need it, just recover the code.
I keep seeing people restarting their games and it bugs me so much. Are you trying to create something or are you trying to be an amazing programmer? There is ALWAYS going to be bad code and if you spend all your time trying to fix your ugly code, you'll never release anything. Thats not to say that you shouldn't strive for cleaner code, but projects have a life span and its already all too easy to end up in development hell. Don't make it harder for yourself. I commend you for not just throwing the project out, at the very least.

I keep seeing people restarting their games and it bugs me so much. Are you trying to create something or are you trying to be an amazing programmer? There is ALWAYS going to be bad code and if you spend all your time trying to fix your ugly code, you'll never release anything. Thats not to say that you shouldn't strive for cleaner code, but projects have a life span and its already all too easy to end up in development hell. Don't make it harder for yourself.
I commend you for not just throwing the project out, at the very least.
cool
