Currently developing a game about a little dragon girl in Godot

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

Here's my first Pikmin animation, It's called Left Behind
Was a fun little outlet for me, I hope you like it! 😌

HD Version is on youtube! I'll link it in the replies

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

I wonder what kind of treasures lie hidden here...

@FringersPond Thank you! I'll be making it a habit to show more more often

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

The grass do be swayin' though

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@Jarfdrzaly LOL isn't she though?

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@hector_channel Thank you! Right now they're flat planes, but I plan to add a little more detail to them later with extra individual leaves n' whatnot

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@Greensilk5559 I understand, and can relate to that

I've only just started this project a few months ago, I'm completely new to gamedev, but I have the unique privilege of being able to work on my game as much as I want, whenever I want

All I'll say is watch me

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@RHawku I've always loosely known what ICO is, but I've never looked into it until your reply

I ABSOLUTELY see it you are 100% correct LOL, I should play this

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@reidhannaford Thank you! That's something I've been concerned about since the beginning, the current plan is just to hide repetitive textures on large objects with a lot of smaller objects lol

Unless you mean there being a difference in pixel sizes, in which case I may be loosy goosy with 🤔

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

The castle is shaping up quite nicely I'd say!

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@Greensilk5559 What should I make in your opinion?

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@PlayIndignum Thank yooouuu! It's definitely coming along slowly but surely 🙏

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@RealTankTheta Thank you very much!

I'm brand new to gamedev, so I'm just mucking along, but the way I've been doing level design has been blocking out the entire thing with CSGboxes in Godot, exporting the entire scene, importing to blender, and then just building proper assets on top of that

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@stellagelatoni You can't see much of the play area from this clip alone, and I am extraordinarily inspired by Fromsoftware and that will be plainly evident throughout the entirety of my game.

That being said, I'm not stealing designs or layouts, that'd be tremendously boring and stupid.

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@SleepyEngi I didn't make it or anything unfortunately, I just so happened to be listening to this song from Pikmin when recording this haha https://t.co/KrGtadKfq6

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@Josh2115weski Very interesting... I wonder if you'd feel that way seeing the entire area 🤫

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@shocking_boring Ayyy thank you, glad you like the look of it already

I'm gonna be feeling out the gameplay for a good while, but the world design itself is built with the blood of Fromsoft coursing through its veins, and the core philosophy of the game has exploration as the main focus

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@RegularStudio_ AYYY thank you! Looking forward to showing more soon!

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@immolationworks I'm really looking forward to showing people the whole thing eventually

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@Tabot_00 I'm glad you like Lil' D! I'll be showing more of her soon

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@Abm67dih4 It's a really exciting thing, even just getting the bare minimum character controller set up and being able to walk around LOL

How I've avoided getting overwhelmed so far has just been about looking up tutorials for exactly what I need, and doing my best to truly understand it

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@Abm67dih4 NEARLY as hard as I was led to believe! It took me around a month to reaaalllyy start understanding coding and how it worked in general, and I got REALLY mad more than a few times, but honestly?

Not too bad. and if my dumbass can learn it, I fully believe anyone can lol

[Ardy @ArodoraaLP]

@Abm67dih4 Honestly? TLDR, went my entire life believing it was IMPOSSIBLE to learn how to code for games

the other month I was like screw it man, opened godot, looked up tutorials for exactly what I needed, and managed to get things up and running within a couple of months.

It's not(1/2)
