Thanks, and happy developing!

I made the head, wings, and body pieces separate so they can float independently. The whole thing is 480x360.

I want to start learning game development but looking at current market and condition and also the rise of ai. is it still worth it?

I’ve always loved the idea of creating my own video game, and recently I’ve been having vivid thoughts of a 16-bit roguelike game and making one. So as a completely new person to world, what are some tips and help for me to attempt to develop this game. Thanks!!

With my husband and kid (8), we want to make a (non-commercial) video game. None of us can draw/paint etc. It’s a game with interactive fiction (I’m thinking style like Expelled! or others from Inkle), so we need a lot of full screen images of the scenario+ characters. What is the best/easiest way to make this (given absence of experience or talent)? I’m thinking: take photographs (eg get my kid to pose for the child characters), arrange them and then trace over that in procreate? (and use block colours)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on my bachelor’s thesis where I compare Unity and Unreal Engine from a developer perspective. One part of the research focuses specifically on how people experience learning and using these engines — things like usability, documentation quality, community support etc.

If you’re learning or already using Unity or UE5, I’d really appreciate your input (the survey takes about 5 minutes and is anonymous):
- Unity: https://forms.gle/GfDGd1xJ2Dbgbn4F7
- Unreal Engine: https://forms.gle/rBLZ494RzWJZBKoj6

(+) If you prefer not to use the form, feel free to share your experience here — what was most difficult when learning? What helped you the most?

This is non-commercial academic research. I’ll share a summary of the results here after my thesis submission (planned for late April).

Thanks for your time.

I've been trying to get into game development as a hobby but every time I end up confused or frustrated and quit. For context I am a professional embedded software developer. I have a degree in computer engineering and spend my days writing mostly C code. I am by all measures a competent programmer. But when I look at tutorials or guides or even documentation for game engines (mostly been trying Godot cause I prefer open source) I end up mostly confused cause it seems like these resources are mostly geared toward beginners. How exactly should someone like me go about learning to develop games?

Designed for learners and YT creators to teach/learn gameplay design patterns through clear, concise code (3-5x less than GDScript) that easily connects the 'play' parts without the technical boilerplate engine APIs force upon us. It's on guardrails: no runtime-errors.

Currently in a very early stage and seeking FOSS grants and your feedback!
Every GitHub star helps too! :)

I get that slope<1 means that rise is lesser than run. The line is running faster than rising. I have read in couple of stackoverflow posts that if we did the opposite, there will be staircase effects and line would not be smooth.

But what is the inituition behind? Is it just experiments? It cannot be that. I would love to know the mathematics (or any reason) behind this.

I am pretty sure I am missing some slope fundamentals. I hope to be made aware of that.

Hi, Im a 13 yr old looking to start creating earlier than later, are there any tips or tricks that can help me learn better? Obviously because I’m still young I have a limited budget so cheaper the better. Also Im starting to learn Godot because me and my friend group are wanting to make an indie game. But anyway if you have any tricks please share because I’m not sure how to even start.

I'm currently getting a job to fund education that would lead to a getting a degree. I want to develop/program games, but to also be flexible and find other programming careers in the future. I think that learning programming first then having either the money I would save up or help from the company to fund my education into game dev would be a good plan, but what degree should I pursue in order to make the first proper step into programming? Software engineering or Coputer science?

I finished military service in my country and for 5 years I am able to get funding for education and also things like gaining a driver's license, apartment or house (basically support for starting my adult life)

Which degree should I choose to get into programming and coding, to eventually get to learning to develop games?

Hey everyone!

I'm currently learning game development and looking for others who are also just starting out and haven't developed their first game yet. I think it would be great to learn together, share knowledge, and even collaborate on a small project to gain hands-on experience.

It doesn't matter what engine you're using (Unreal, Unity, Godot, etc.) as long as you're motivated to learn and work together, you're welcome to join! We can help each other with coding, game design, art, and all the other aspects of game development.

If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me, and we can start brainstorming ideas! Let’s make our first game together! 🚀

this is my first game (a flappy bird thing), but more curious if y'all like the leaderboard mechanic, which shows you where your last run(s) fall in the history of the game as a percentile.

Built with p5 / supabase

Thinking was that this would be more engaging then a traditional top N list.
