    Im not sure if you have made a video like this already but it would definitely help me if you did your roadmap to learning godot. The resources, videos, which order and things like that which could help me and others learn what we need to learn in godot

    So can you make games with the Godot Web version because I only have an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil 2ndGen and the typecase and an iPhone, I model in Blockbench and Sprite in Pixquare. Godot’s web version looks to be the current version

      You(?) can, but size is very important for web. Godot's (4.0) default *empty* project for web is about ~10MB.

      @@ultimaxkom8728oh I see that’s what I wanted to understand. I wanted to understand what the limitations were compared to the actual app that people can download to a computer. OK well then looks like I’m going with Gdevelop which is made for the iPad, everyone talks about how great Godot is so I was hoping the web version would be just as usable, I wish they would make an app for the iPad already. I don’t know if that’s something in the works though.

    Have you tried Inkscape?
    And if so, did it lack features you could only get in Affinity?
    Also, enjoying chess survivors immensely!

      I have tried Inscape and I found it hard to use. That could be that I didn’t give it enough time, but for me Affinity Designer has an easier UI/UX to learn.

    This was a great video. Usually gamedev content creators recommended the same programs over and over (aseprite, GIMP, Inkspace, Krita) but you threw in a lot of interesting stuff there. Zapsplat and soundraw could be very good tools for me.

    i mean if you are working as a solo dev on a project there is way less use for the branching in git
    makes sense, still could be useful but only in specific things and no need for all the time

      I haven't heard anyone using SVN in a long time.
      I used it in the early 00s with a team of 4 people so we didn't step on toes but moved to git and branches as soon as it was available

    Let me save you all the biggest frustration with Godot. Unlike every other editor on the planet, every web browser, every spreadsheet, the tabs above the editor content pane DO NOT switch between the files being edited. Putting tabs above a content pane which do not affect that content pane is not just bad GUI design, it's malicious GUI design because it make the standard understanding of GUI design which we have learned from every other application we use now have a different purpose which guides us toward making mistakes.
    How to fix this? From the Godot Asset Lib get the addon Script -IDE. It adds back the tabs that control the edit pane. It also gives us the missing File, Edit, Search, and Debug menus which is standard with every other IDE. It also gives you a nice outline panel with filters so you can easily filter the export variable, the signals, the methods, etc.

      wait, what do you mean? what tabs? do you mean the ones right above the scripts? they do switch the files out, though? could you elaborate on what you mean? also, file, edit, search and debug are all present? are you talking about an older version of godot or am i missing something?

    • @Luc_ienn
      @Luc_ienn День тому

      Tabs are for separate scenes, and above that the next layer of tabs are workspaces. Their use is key to the functionality of Godot.
      You’re right though, if for some reason you’re unable to learn a new method of organization then you can get plugins for anything you need. But it having “malicious” design? Hardly.
      Idk what engine or programs you’re comparing to, but UI is a language. Shared app design can reduce the barrier of entry for a casual use app, but a full featured development engine has to find its own visual language. A program like Godot isnt necessarily meant to fit every standard of other apps, honestly to do so could potentially hamper its functionality.

    Since you are not using branches in github neither using the history (stuff, stuff....), that means you don't really need version control, just a disaster recovery tool.
    What stops you using Dropbox? You can recover deleted files for a period of time in case you need it. And avoid the need of using git.

      On a solo project there is very little benefit to branch strategies.

    • @jedimoose32
      @jedimoose32 2 дні тому +1

      @@TechAtScale This is absolutely correct. On a solo project pretty much the only reason to ever use branches is for experimental work that you are exploring on the side. This lets you continue with the principal work on your master/main/trunk branch while you are able to switch back and forth easily to working on the crazy side experiment on the other branch. If you're a solo dev using feature branches and constantly merging them back into master you are just wasting time/keystrokes.
