Main projects, side stuff, game dev, art, music, crafts, whatever. Got anything cool that you’re working on and would like to share? Or even something in the works that you’re hoping to get off the ground.

    Exams rn 😭 (or at least trying… but ending up procrastinating all day long 💀)… Otherwise, I have some game ideas in working on, mainly this don’t starve-like adventure game with a procedural world and focus on exploration, potion-making, crafting, and magic (still figuring it out), I also want it to have quite a complex story. For this, I’m also using Godot (tho I modded it quite a bit to suit my needs… packed arrays are a bit neglected in the base version…). Also learning zig lang :) I love and hate zig at the same time

      Oh I love potion making, it keeps coming back to me for game ideas I just don’t end up finishing it. I will someday though! It’s probably a good small project for me to do as I learn godot.

      Ah! I struggle with procedural generation. It took me a lot longer than I care to admit to start grasping map generation! I’m still uncomfortable with it.

        Yea, I feel ya :)) I have a pretty decent understanding of full map generators, but functional generating, where you give a function the coords and the seed and it always outputs the same thing is still a bit tricky 😵‍💫


        One of my first attempts at generating biomes

        The most fun part for me was optimizing save files for some reason… even got to patch godot a bit cuz of the lack of methods on packed byte arrays

        😵‍💫

          That’s awesome! I haven’t had to go into the guts of the engine yet and thankfully haven’t had to compile since the XR changes came out with 4.0.
