Trainatic is my THIRD game built with Godot on Steam and won't be my last! I'm using the C# version of the 4.4 release.

It's been exciting watching the growth of this community and seeing the many games, prototypes, and tech demos here always encourages me to keep building games!

help me (solved) Anyone got any ideas for making the player stay with the ship and not fly out?

Basically the title, I'd like the player to stay with the ship and be able to walk around inside it even if it's moving, instead of getting left behind while the ship flies on. Any help is appreciated!!

selfpromo (games) My game got a noticeable bump in sales/wishlists/demo plays once I hit 10 review

Thumbnail

125 Upvotes

Before launch on September 3rd I had ~750 wishlists (could have been much higher but it's my first game and I did a lot of things wrong leading up to launch) the main big spike at the is from streamer coverage, that vast majority of which came from one major Youtuber (ImCade <3). And the second big spike, though more-so in wishlists came once my game hit 10 reviews (it probably also helps that they are 100% positive). That's the critical point at which steam starts showing blue text on the reviews summary.

Sadly a number of my friends had some big life things happening (just after labour day doesn't seem to be a great time of year for that) or don't have steam, so was only able to get 1 review from them so far.

Spent the first few days after launch watching/engaging with every bit of content that was made by people about my game, and incorporating that feedback into the first and soon second update. It was a big help getting a couple of reviews from them, though some were streamers that were given keys to cover the game so their reviews don't count towards the score, but still helpful social proof and I feel it encourages others to leave a review.

Right now 1/4 of my reviews are not in English, so I'm definitely thankful that I localized my game as those reviews count towards the score too.

So if you're an indie developer, do what you can to get people to put those reviews in early as it definitely helps with visibility! Has anyone else seen similar bumps at 10, 50, 500 reviews? Also best of luck with all your launches!

Think smoky grilled pork chop, broken rice, a bit of pickled veggies, and that signature sweet–savory fish sauce drizzle… all packed into the vibe of the map.

selfpromo (games) I used Godot's web export to create a hybrid Tower Defense + Action RPG

59 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm the solo developer of "Minimalist Tower Defence" and I'm incredibly excited (and a little nervous!) to share my first finished Godot project with you all today.

▶️ Play the game here on itch.io! (PC & Mobile Browser)

The core idea was to build a tower defense game where you're not just a spectator. You control a hero who can fight directly alongside the towers you build, earning gold and protecting them from being overwhelmed.


The Godot Experience

This has been a huge learning project for me. As a developer, I was really impressed with a few things in Godot:

  • Signals: I learned a ton about using signals to keep the code decoupled. The system for enemies emitting a died signal that the player (and scoreboard) could listen to for gold and points felt so clean to implement.
  • The Scene System: Being able to build the enemy, the player, and each tower in its own self-contained scene made managing the project so much easier than I expected.
  • Web Export: I knew I wanted this to be a browser game from the start, and I was genuinely surprised at how straightforward and powerful the web export was. Getting it running on itch.io was a breeze.

Credits

Of course, I couldn't have done it without the amazing assets from the community. A huge thank you to Pixel Frog for the wonderful "Tiny Swords" asset pack.


I'd absolutely love to hear any feedback you have, especially from a developer's perspective. If you notice any performance issues, bugs, or have thoughts on the game feel, please let me know.

Thanks so much for checking it out!

discussion Whats your dream game you have always wanted to create?

40 Upvotes

As I continue to build my skills as a game developer and game development instructor for Godot I think im finally getting close to being capable to create me dream game.

Since I have always enjoyed indie games and games that do not require a vast amount of compute power all my games I have made fit into those categories. My dream game however will more then likely be a bit more than what im used to but I am finally going to start working on it.

The game I have in mind is a slasher first person battle game. You play as a type of medieval soldier such as a knight, axe man, archer, pikemen etc. But the catch is you spawn in with your own handful of troops that follow you around giving the player the illusion you are in a massive battle only with about only 7 actual human players. This idea I have would still allow me to create a game at an indie level and still not use up too much compute power hopefully 😅

What has been your dream game to create?

selfpromo (games) Would you use a plugin that created procedurally generated objects for your game

40 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been working on some scripts that'll create procedurally generated objects for my game. The scripts I have so far can create Fences, Walls, Trees and Rocks!

I've been thinking about tidying up the code and bundling them together into a plugin. I guess my questions are:

  • What are other objects you'd like to have procedurally generated for your game?
  • Would you use a plugin like this? Why? Why not?

Hello everyone,

I've been developing a game inspired by the mechanics of Papers, Please for five months now. I thought it would be interesting to post a before/after visual here. Three months separate these two versions of the game.

Still a long way to go, but it’s motivating to look back at the progress.

help me any way to make a shapecast not detect walls, or anything on the other side?

38 Upvotes

In my project, I wanted the player to be able to pull small objects towards them (like ammo, health, whatever). Unfortunately, since the first collision layer is the only thing the shapecast can detect, it's possible to pull things to you from the other side of things, pulling them through the wall/floor from the other side, even if the player can't see them.

Is there any way to make the shape cast ignore the walls without making the shape cast ignore anything that isn't assigned in a dedicated group? I plan to add occlusion culling later on that won't render anything the player can't see, which may fix my issue, but in the meantime, are there any other options?

(Also I apologize if this is a stupid question, this is my first Godot project)

Hi again! After going through your comments, I’ve updated the skill and here’s the improved version:

Changes:

  • Single cast is direct, no randomness.
  • Leaves a ghostly trail.
  • Accelerates and opens when an enemy is near.
  • Adds a freezing effect.
  • Multiple casts spread in a fan pattern.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this iteration. Thanks for all the feedback.

selfpromo (games) The desert boss of my game now dies in style

17 Upvotes

The final boss of Desert map felt a bit anticlimactic for a while. You'd defeat it and... poof. It was gone. So I decided to give it the proper send-off it deserved.

Now, a detailed sequence kicks in. The camera slowly locks onto the boss, the UI fades, and the boss starts to shake and bleed. All the while, white particles begin to float in the air, spreading from the boss until they envelop the entire screen. When everything goes white, the victory screen appears. It’s a small change, but it makes the victory feel so much bigger and more impactful.

Let me know what you think. Do you prefer big, flashy boss deaths or something more subtle? I’m curious to hear your opinions.

You can try the Vault Survivors on itch or steam.
