Yo this is a lot of progress for 6 months, well done! As a godot dev with 2+ years of experience, this is really impressive! there's just one thing i want to point out, if you want projectile-based weapons in your game, you don't have to sacrifice bullet speed. the reason why the bullet's don't properly collide is because they move a certain amount at the end of each frame. at very high speed, this can lead to the bullet just phasing through objects with colliders. This can be mitigated by using a raycast. what you can do is have a variable in the bullet called prev_pos which holds the position the bullet was last in. in the _ready() function, set prev_pos to be the bullet's global position. then, in process or physics_process, you cast a ray to prev_pos using code and check for collision. if there is any collision, then you move the bullet to the collision point and do any bullet collision logic. there's an inherent flaw with this, which is that if the bullet just went through 3 boxes in one frame, it will go to the box nearest to it, i.e. it won't go to the front of the row of boxes. you can mitigate this further by instead casting a ray from prev_pos to the bullet's global position, which should solve the issue. here's a link to a really good youtube tutorial on projectile-based weapons in godot: ruclips.net/video/Qt3OLcxlIBM/видео.html
Hey bro, here's a neat little trick for weapon thickness. You model a bullet the gun is chambered in. You can easily find blueprints for bullets. You model a mag for it. You then look up images of that mag with at least 2 bullets in it. You see how much the 2nd bullet sticks out underneath the first one, and then do the same thing using top view. Then you scale the mag to the bullets. And then you adjust the body of the weapon to the mag, and the rest of it to the body. Yes this is highly convoluted and annyoing, but it's something you can do to get a half decent result when you don't have real refference or dimensions.
This video was great, I was disappointed when i saw it came out a day ago and i couldn't watch a few more straight away. I've been learning blender for almost 2 years, I have unity and unreal installed but haven't launched them yet. I have 2-3 game ideas and i think i just have to pick one and go for it.
Good luck on your journey! Just a disclaimer, learning things take too long and sometimes you can feel like you aren't progressing. It feels like hell and this is normal. Just keep away from burnouts! If you feel like overwhelmed; stop it, do some other stuff, get your energy and motivation up and then proceed. Keep the good work! You can research production pipelines and workflows over internet. It will make your life much easier and give you sense that you are working more efficiently/fast. And please don't forget to organize your staff. Even tho people think solo developers don't need it, especially they are the ones who need it most. You can search project management tools and game design documents for that matter. There are plenty of sources. But don't over due anything. You will have chance to come back and rework that features always!
A friend shared this video with me, and now I see why. After a long break from watching gamedev videos on youtube, you may have convinced me to get into the rabbithole again. Beautiful and inspiring, you're very underrated and I can't wait to see what you have in store next :)
This is so cool, It's literally exactly how I began gamedev, always getting sidetracked on making some cool animations or getting more guns in the game. I wish you the best of luck, can't wait to see what else you make
Love the procedural anims! Tons of people overlook small details like weapon sway but it can drastically improve the game feel if you take the time to implement it
As someone who's been building little a 3d game in my spare time for nearly a year here's some advice: don't think you have to model everything yourself, especially things that have already been done over and over by other people. There are a lot of good free models available that you can then modify if need be. Otherwise in 10 years you'll still be working on this project.
Really good video from a small channel, it'll blow up in the next few months 100%. I'm a game dev too, and I'm trying to pivot my videos to game dev, I have some planned that i'll post soon. Can't wait to see more of your vids!
Watching this RUclips video was a turning point in my life, a serendipitous moment that reshaped my perspective and ignited a deep emotional transformation. The way the his words resonated with my own unspoken struggles and dreams was nothing short of miraculous. The journey of overcoming adversity and the poignant storytelling, coupled with stunning visuals and heartfelt music, created an immersive experience that moved me to tears and motivated me to pursue my passions with renewed vigor. It was more than just a video; it was a lifeline, a beacon of hope that continues to illuminate my path forward with beauty and purpose. Thank you, Crucible of Soup.
Nice work! A tip on 3D physics just in case you want to try having actual bullets again, if you haven't already, consider trying the jolt physics plugin. Very easy to add and then flip the engine over to jolt. It may get the physics based bullets to cooperate if you still have the code.
this is probably a really weird comment to read compared to all the others but i just wanna appreciate the lowering bitrate transitions cus they're rlly cool and i've never seen then before
Wow, this is a really good video; highly underrated! Great editing, great game, I honestly can't wait to see where it goes, best of luck with your adventures man :)
For physical projectiles, I've found it works best to do collision not by checking if both physics objects collide, but to do a small hitscan check in the direction of the projectile (you can also implement bullet drop and ricochet based on the returned normal of the hitscan)... I've been working on an engine for my applications and games and you just motivated me a little more to continue!
ur commitment is insane. i do game development myself and i cant for the life of me carry on making a single project. dont give up bro this looks really good, ur 3d skills are insane too. big props to you.
Im a very new game developer as well. Something important I learned was to set up GIT to have your project files backed up, when I saw the part where you lost all your blends I thought about how that wouldn't be a big deal with revision control. Could help to save you some time in the future and its very easy to set up!
Yo man, very nice work. I am also going to start my gaming journey yet again within two weeks once the uni is done for, you got me excited for both me and you
I'm really glad I watched your entire video, your closing thoughts at the end kept me motivated as I am suffering from the same. sometimes I feel like I am too slow for my simple project but slow is fine when you are learning. thankyou for this means a lot:)
I have had the same experience, I chose unity and tried to make something similar to karlson but eventually tried car sim, physics engine and map design and now I'm a modder for bonelab and I will be releasing 4 mods this week
I personally have ADHD so not touching a project for 5 weeks is what I could only dream of. I have multiple projects that haven't been touched for 4 years that I've been procrastinating on.
Hey dude, I'm trying my absolute best on my own godot project and I'm also around the 6 month mark. I was starting to feel a little down about my progress, but it's actually not far off from yours! I really appreciate you uploading as its given me a little more confidence in my self.
5:48 Being a 3D artist this. This is so infuriating. Most of the time when artists are making a gun model they guess the dimensions of something and build from there so its not always accurate.
I have started learning godot, day 2 right now and i watch brackeys tutorials and i keep forgetting most of the things that i have seen expect the easier ones, but seeing this video tells me that with practise and watching the tutorials few more times, i can actually learn more, and this video motivates me.
do you feel as though the accountability of recording and showing off your progress genuinely helps, or does the process of making a video explaining it all get in the way? I'm a dev but motivation is a mystery to me and I'm interested to see if u think it helped - especially after having posted the video and had people look at what you've made!
I think the pros of making a video outweigh the cons just a bit. It can be stressful and take time, but you get accountability, advice, and advertisement from making it
great video, solo developing too currently besides having a fulltime job and a family to take care of. Game Dev is hard especially scoping and really releasing somethin xD Keep Going!
This is epic I didn’t realize how much went into game development and I’m impressed with how in depth you’ve gotten into it just in this project. Can’t wait to play the games you develop one day🫡
Fun Fact: 3D models are all rendered as triangles in the GPU and will usually get converted by the game engine either during import or at runtime. A square is just two triangles anyway.
Hey mate, you've done a great job with this! I love how you've added physics to the bullets and different weight barrels. Also great job on the weapon modelling an animations. I've still yet to try to model or animate weapons. I'm making an FPS game. too but in Unreal and it's funny how I stumbled upon some of the same problems you had like the bullets being too small and to quick to actually register a hit and sometimes not do it. I realized I had to switch to ray casting (hit scan) as well. I learned that sometimes the most realistic way is not the best way for making a game. Games require some tricks to make it more fun and enjoyable experience for people and that sometimes means sacrificing some realisticity. Good luck with your project mate.
Your editing is great for such a small channel. I’m an aspiring RUclipsr too, and I want to get on your level editing-wise. What program do you use? How did you learn this high level of editing?
I appreciate the compliment! I use Davinci Resolve, it has a really robust free version. Ive been editing for 5+ years now. Getting better just takes time and the initiative to learn.
barely any games use physics based bullets but they actually use raycasting(hit scanning like you said in your video). they use a bullet trajectory formula to raycast step by step until a raycast hits something. also if the bullet did not hit anything and 5 seconds or more passed since the bullet was shot then the bullet is deleted so the bullet wont keep flying forever and create pointless lag
quads don't apply to game engines. Everything gets converted into triangles. So by modeling quads instead of triangles directly you're just letting the game engine do whatever conversion it wants, instead of controlling yourself how your quads get split. You could end up with very funky geometry on animations, especially if you're doing low poly.
badass, let me know if you need a gun nerd to help you with dimensions, also i recommend giving the sights more detail than the rest of the gun, even if it is a low poly artstyle, clear sights typically make the guns feel a lot better, and its better to skimp out on the actual gun instead of the sights if that makes sense
Unreal is free until you make $1 million a year with your game, after that they take 5%
thats what iwanted to comment too!
Eh, it’s still nice to have no strings attached
@@Lucky_Duckits nice to make good games
