Yeah, I think 'learn a game engine first' is pretty useful. Godot has been good to me. I started trying to learn to code first, and would get discouraged because I barely had a grasp on C++, then most engines used C#.

So ehm.. I'm posting here with you sinners because I also started to indie dev. I'm making the game I always wanted to play, and I'm advanced enough to envision finishing the project. Development will be long but I'll have something to show off pretty soon.
I'm coding in Python because I'm a scrub inside.

[eerr]

I keep overscoping my projects like a scrub. Currently I should be spending lots of time working.

I lose focus somewhat, and I'm not sure why. Need to get that particle effect for the flamethrower done...

I don't think people actually go through the 100 options for making a particle effect in unity, by hand.

I feel like overscoping is one of the most common problems with game dev. It's just so easy to fall into the trap of "thinking big" and envisioning a million cool systems and gameplay ideas

My main problem at the moment is that I finally kept the scope well manageable and in theory could finally start creating actual content based on my "engine", but I'm kinda in a "art-block" where I further keep polishing systems instead of building actual game content for people to play... I'm currently building a open source "Slay The Spire"-like deck builder that can actually be run in the terminal (but there is also a windowed version) and the engine is working really well so far but it lacks content (︶︹︶) I hope I can get my lazy ass to finally create some more game content soon

Currently woking on a sequel of a (decade old) 2D mech sim.

Re-using the first game to make it. Code from my n00b days, very brute force. Love it, fits the theme of huge mechs.

A little update on my dumb little project. My goal is to make a horizontal slice of the game, then stuffing it with more units / factions, equipment etc. There's a lot of work ahead.
(It's a party based, turn based dungeon crawler.)

Dungeon system. Walls are connecting to each others. Goblins have a rudimentary AI, but can strategize with weapons with differents characteristics.


Little animation when units attack each others. Combats are working but are very basic for now.

[delphonso]

I started working on a game, a roguelike, I guess. It feels good to touch gamedev again, but I'm not overly excited to find time to code. If I make something worth showing, I'll start posting about it.

[Cathar]

Two more units designed. Now humans can use spears, swords and bows
Also modular floor is coded, doors can be opened, all furniture support item containing and traps

Stabbity stab
Edit :

Added subtle health indicators, and in the process of adding portraits for turn order (functionnal but fugly)

[King Zultan]

That's looking pretty cool already.

[Cathar]

Thank you ! I the long term, I want to print little "faction flag" under the unit personal portrait so even if the unit personal colors are different, we can see which sides they are. Plus itll be prettier... But we're not there yet.
Current devlopment : a less ugly GUI

oο mate do you have a loicence for tha knoife

Now units can also be inspected. Need decide on what informations I'll provide here.

he didn't

Edit 19/04/2025 :
Traps coded, added a unit whose function it is to disarm them
