What games are you guys building today?

zeroexu

I'm thinking about getting back into game development, and I'm looking to find out if there are other developers here making games and if you're finishing them. It's really tough being a solo developer, and I was hoping to hear about the challenges you face every day.

hi zeroexu, I have been using gideros since 2018 and absolutely still in love today.

I try to write/update games made in gideros so I can somehow add them either to the wiki in the tutorials section or on GH.

I try to finish them but sometimes they are still rough around the edge 🙃.

I am a solo dev and I code whatever I need/want but mostly apps rather than games.

I don't have any specific issues except for the bugs in my code which can take days to fix 😢.

Tell us what you struggle with and we will try to help 😉

Thanks!

Right now I'm trying to take care of the art side of things. The problem is that I want to make certain things, but I can't find any artwork that fits what I want to do and matches the art quality I’m able to produce myself.

I've found plenty of GUI asset packs that would work fine, but I keep getting stuck when it comes to 2D assets for the actual in-game levels.

I was trying to figure out if this is a common problem, and how other people usually deal with it.

Thanks for replying.

I knew it 🙂
I made an app in Gideros that turns 3D to 2D, shameless self promotion warning https://mokatunprod.itch.io/3dpixel-obj

I use it for all my games and it helps me a lot. I use only cc0 3D assets so I don't have to worry about the license.

Please tell me more about the type of assets and the style and I may help you out with this 😉

PS: I am not good at UI stuff

I am currently working on a 3D block based game similar to a well known game I won't tell the name, but where you have to mine material and craft stuff with it.
It is an interesting and challenging project, but I doubt I'll ever publish it for various reasons. it is more of a hobby project right now.
What I have done so far: terrain generation, player interactions, day/night cycle, lighting, and yesterday I started adding mobs. What is left to do: crafting and inventory UI, mobs AI, and basically define the game rules or story.
