I am attempting to export the game so that I can send it to my friend for playtesting
and I am having issues
one of which seems to be that to export an ios runnable game you have to be working on a mac???? and I am on windows so does that mean I just can't do that at all???? I thought the point of the export functions was so that you could build the game on one machine and be able to make it runnable on any other!
frustrated. putting it down for now.

What program are you using to make the art?
- nonbinary-coder
HI!
Most of the time I use an app called Pixel Studio.
It's neat because I can use it on pc and android. I really like the workflow in this one, but when I plan to animate something I use libresprite (which is basically aseprite but free?). You can animate in Pixel Studio, but I use a paperdoll system for my character sprites. I have extra layers for hair, arms, faces, clothing, legs etc. And libresprite gives you better control over layers and frames.
Pixel Studio, however, has a cool export feature that lets you directly upscale the image. I usually post my sprites here in 4x.
I use good old GIMP for a few simple touchups or some mirroring and stuff. But that's basically because the other two programs are still opened with some projects I don't want to close. I'm lazy.
When I do animations I just mirror the frames, but you have to do it frame by frame. In GIMP my selection tool is capped to 32x48 (the size of my sprites) and snaps to the grid (which is also 32x48). To be fair, I could just mirror the frame in godot, but that scares me somehow?
If you want to know anything else, I'm happy to talk about all this stuff, because I have no one in person who can relate 🫠
what if. I make the point and click game gt. Just mix my various special interests together.
Just... what kind of gt thing? What story, what goals?
Borrowers, perhaps? Borrowers would certainly fit right in with the Weird Solutions vibe of most p&c games
Gullivered? the various goals could be doing random convoluted favors for Lilliputians. And it already comes with a pre-existing Smaller Starting Puzzle: get them to let you wander loose. Maybe you play as a Lilliputian sometimes?
Or perhaps a game where you're a scientist working on a shrink ray, only for it to explode, shrinking you and scattering pieces all over your lab. You have to retrieve them and rebuild the device to return to normal size. (maybe after you fix it there are more puzzles which require sizeshifting)
man, I really don't like subscriptions in video games. used to see "any purchase comes with permanent ad removal" everywhere, but now more and more games have ad removal as a separate purchase, and often as a subscription. and so many other perks as subscriptions too
so here is my promise, as an indie game developer:
I am not going to put any subscriptions in my games. If you buy something, it is yours. If I include anything in my game which may be purchased for real money, it is yours to keep. Indefinitely. Anything which is only a temporary bonus will be purchasable with in game currency, not real money.
I wanna make a point and click game
I wonder if I can find some guides for doing that
like. both in the "how do I code this in godot" way and the "how does one go about planning this kind of game anyway" way
I don't particularly have a theme or storyline or anything in mind, it's just that I recently replayed one I loved as a kid and it reminded me how much I like this kind of game, and I'd like to make one myself.

Tada, a fully functional game! :D
Now all that remains is to make it look cooler and add the bonus features and customization options I wanted
I wanted to post a longer recording that included the game over screen, but tumblr kinda just stalled out on trying to post it. And the mp4 to gif converter I found only let me do 30 seconds at a time. So... one minute of gameplay across 2 gifs.
showed my partner what I've made. They enjoyed filling the screen with bubbles in the unfinished Bubble Drop game, and then have been happily playing Dodge the Creeps for a while
It is a very very nice feeling to have someone I love absolutely enjoying a thing I made. Even if it was via a tutorial, I made that, and they're playing it and having fun! :D
(also they like the modifications I made to the original instructions, like the high score. And that is also an excellent feeling.)
hello
welcome to my blog
I like to play mobile games, but a lot of them are user-unfriendly in one way or another (often including the oversaturation of advertisment), so I want to make my own games.
I will be posting about game development stuff, and also the finished games when they're done and available to be played by other people.
