    This is the best scope management I think I've seen for a game jam, super smart with the horizontal slice goal. The game turned out amazing!

    • @mokasips
      @mokasips  4 месяца назад +7

      Thank you! Honestly, I think learning how to scope properly has been the number one factor to my games improving rather than actually growing more skilled as a programmer or an artist. I’m not perfect yet, but it’s so much more satisfying to have a short, really fun game than 4-5 hours of something I think is mediocre. Thank you for your kind words!!

    fellow Godot UI enjoyer!! it's honestly so fun to make UIs in Godot once you get the hang of it, it's unbelievable
    also WOW congrats on the super polished game! that's crazy you were able to make something so well made in such a short time :0

      Thank you so much! Godot UI definitely took me a hot second to figure out, but it’s just so useful… I really like it!
      Thank you for the kind comment!

    Scrolling through RUclips video thumbnails... wait, I recognize that dragon! 😀 Congrats on the game! It was really cute and fun.
    One thing I found a bit odd about the ending though: if you fail to navigate the game's challenges, when the dragon is presented to the king, a hound comes into the throneroom and the dragon panics and attacks it, disgracing itself... but if you do better, the hound doesn't appear at all. I would have preferred it if the hound appears regardless (since whether it comes in or not doesn't really depend on anything you've done previously), but the dragon behaves better and gets to move on to a successful ending and epilogue.
    Anyway, it was a very minor thing. Congrats again!

      Hehe, thank you!
      Noted on the dog thing! If we ever decide to poke at the game, that’s definitely something we’d like to tweak; we got a lot of feedback with regards to people also noting that they felt it out of character for their dragon if they had raised their dragon to be particularly empathetic.
      Anyhow, thanks for the kind comment! And for playing the game even before you watched the video! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

    3:28 I wouldn't say im a godot *expert* per say, but I've used the engine a lot so I suppose I qualify.
    Pretty much, whenever I plan on using something more than once, I'll make a scene and export any important variables so that I can edit the variables in each instance of the scene.
    I also usually make a scene for any particularly complex/important thing, like the player character for example, because then you can edit it in it's own tab without anything else getting in the way.
    But thats about it.

      Thank you so much! This is incredibly flattering to hear; I'll continue to try my best! ^_^
      Time management is definitely a skill that is really hard for making games... it's a weird crossroads of artistic and technological endeavors that require a good grasp on understanding how long it takes to do one or the other to scope well, and I'm still so bad at it! Even with a ton of practice professionals overestimate themselves, hence why you hear about 5 billion delays in gamedev all the time. It's something you get better at with time for sure, and something I really strive to improve at as well..!
      Thank you again for your kind comment! :]

    Loved the art style 🦭
    About when to modulate components I think the best way to approach it is to analyze whether you will reuse that component more than once. I think any component you'll use more than 2 times is worth making a scene. A perfect example would be item slots in an inventory. Basically any time you found yourself repeating the creation of the same component.

    • @mokasips
      @mokasips  4 месяца назад +2

      Thank you for the kind words! Noted on the modulation bit... one of the next games I'm working on has item slots so this is actually perfect timing to hear this. Thank you!

    been thinking about making my own game, lets see how far I get. I know C, Cpp and go and rn I am contemplating if I should use a engine or just program it in Cpp with a graphics api. Godot looks like a good option for 2d though

    • @mokasips

      If you've never made your own game before, definitely start out with something small and with an engine! It'll give you invaluable experience :>

      @@mokasips you are absolutely right, but I know of no engine that will let me use c++ that's not unreal. So, I feel like teaching myself gamedev instead of engine and a new programming language and being fairly honest, I can't do art so that will be the hardest part of it all
