Maybe you could dig into a few open-source clients to see how they work with it?
E.g. someone shared a basic lemmy viewer in godot the other day: https://github.com/sevonj/gdlm - it’s rough but probably not too much to read through. Was posted in /c/godot: https://programming.dev/post/48482
Cool! Thanks for open-sourcing it!
Makes me think maybe the fediverse jam could be a place to build fediverse-tools, not just games - or maybe there's a different opportunity for building fedi-tools similar to the Godot Addons Jam
Excellent to see your continued progress on this - thanks for sharing!
I'm curious about this even outside of a mlem perspective - do beehaw posts accumulate downvotes but just not display them, or are they accumulated and shown to downvote-enabled instances, or are they just thrown away?
excited for this one, thanks for putting it together! And thank you for not overlapping with the GMTK jam :D
reminds me of https://github.com/a-little-org-called-mario/a-little-game-called-mario
I don't think it's that crazy - and it'd be fun to collaborate on something low-key, and maybe it grows into something?
I should dig deeper into beat em up references in general - let me know if you know of any gems!
Outside of Streets of rage, some that I've played and enjoyed:
Some different ones that I've played a bit, but need to dig into more:
I've heard Fight 'n Rage is good too, but haven't actually played it yet
There are quite a few classic bundles out there too if you just want to dive into some of the old ones
excellent, ty for sharing - will check these out
Sounds great, let’s dooooo it!
I can’t finish anything without an external deadline. Otherwise i just keep refactoring and tweaking forever.
Game jams, a self-imposed deadline, promising other folks a demo on a certain day…
Sometimes i pick something as a reward, like playing some game (lately, TOTK) only after having delivered a new feature for whatever game idea.
Another thing that helps is setting smaller goals - a basic first version as 1.0, then small features to bump to 1.1, 1.2, etc. Bigger features can go in later versions! Don’t turn yourself off trying to do it all at once.
I think game dev is prototyping lots of ideas - then at some point you look back and decide one of them is worth a more serious time investment. In the mean time, keep prototyping!
Dang, this is very cool - would love to know more about how to build up to a look like this!
Aseprite for sure! It’s also open source.
there’s a nice godot-aseprite import addon that i now can’t live without: https://github.com/viniciusgerevini/godot-aseprite-wizard - it creates spriteFrames with animations based on your aseprite tags
