Hello everyone! I'm so happy to be here

In short, I'm a generalist game modder & developer, doing a little bit of everything, but mostly focusing on programming (mainly game programming in C++ and C#) and level design.

I've been modding Half-Life 1 since late 2014, in just about every aspect except programming (which changed in 2018), which is how everything started. I got into actual game development in early 2019 with idTech 4 (Doom 3 engine), after my IT teacher told me about a local gamedev competition. Right now, I'm using idTech 3 (Quake 3 engine) for a project, and when I'm not working on it, I'm experimenting with Godot and learning it.

I've spent a significant amount of time with engines like Unity, Unreal Engine 4, Unigine, CryEngine etc. only to find out they didn't fit my needs, or there was a certain part of the workflow that I absolutely did not like. TBH some of them were even overkill for the type of games I want to make, i.e. retro shooters and immersive sims. For that, I believe Godot is a solid engine. I also just love how small and fast it is!

I'll hopefully learn some stuff here, in what looks like a helpful and welcoming community.

A very fine day to you all.

I’m no one important, currently living out in the middle of nowhere (literally) in New Mexico USA, with my wife and daughter and our four (five) dogs (one’s not technically ours, but he thinks he is most of the time) and three bearded dragons. The occasional clusters of nopales and sage brush say 'hi'.

I’ve been a fuel-station attendant/manager, an in-home warranty appliance repairman, a middle and high school teacher, and a stay-at-home dad, and wasted too many years programming computers but not getting paid to do it. Got a BS in that last one. Now I’m too old for anyone to care. (Age discrimination is real, yo.)

Aaaanyway...

I’ve been developing a simple puzzle game I intend to sell for $1.50 (no in-game ads! <gasp>) on Google Play (and, once that’s working, on the App Store for iOS).

I will say that it is a fairly unique sudoku variant, and everyone my wife talks to has expressed abnormal amounts of interest in what she has shown them, LOL, and eagerly await beta testing, so I have hopes that it will do pretty well for itself. Those three or four of you with google-fu (or who otherwise recognize me) may remember my 2016 design mockup in Tcl over at cplusplus.com. (I haven’t been actively developing it all that time, LOL, life gets in the way.) The final design is gorgeous in comparison, BTW.

I admit I am rather nervous about posting anything more specific about it online, including screenshots, until I release it. I’ve been doing it all by myself. I’m struggling a little with final sound design and overwhelmed by leaderboards and publishing. Hopefully, though, I can figure it all out within the next few months. This thing’s gonna feed my family for a short while.

Hello all. I'm Nate!

I just jumped into Godot. So far it feels like a breath of fresh air. GDScript seems like a breeze to work with. I'm chipping away at the basics currently, but expect to live here for awhile.

I've worked on a number of hobby projects in Unity and Unreal, and some HL2 mapping/modding a decade back. Got one old Unity project up on early access, but ran away when I realized I'd need to market it (a common story, I'm told). Quixotic ambitions of returning to that game idea SOMEDAY, but I'm likely just doing this stuff in a hobbyist/moonlighting capacity going forward, because a day-job seems more tenable. Trying to find a better gamedev/life balance.

I've dodged all community engagement with past engines, but trying to change that -- maybe this time will be different! Or maybe I'll post this and then hide in shadows ... But know that I am here. Watching. Waiting. Bahahahaha...

Hello Guys! My name is Slawek and I recently discovered Godot as a great way to learn a little bit of programming. I am working on a few super simple 2D games for our family to get everyone involved in some home-grown fun! I hope I can learn a little bit and get to know some great people around!

Oh hey I didn't realize there was an introductions thread! Anyway, I've been active here for a few weeks, so might as well formally say hello :joy: .

I'm a professional software developer who's lately gotten into gamedev as a hobby. Like many I've long harbored ideas about the dream game I would write "one day" aka "never actually." But then recently I became inspired to actually try my hand at some things by a combination of Yahtzee Croshaw's "Dev Diary" video series and the releases of the ulta-retro RPGs "Nox Archaist" and "Realms of Antiquity".

I picked up Godot because it seems designed for actually making games as easily as possible, and is open source. I decided that I want to make actual games, so I wanted something opinionated and with tooling for helping make content, but I'm not interested in the arbitrary technical limitations imposed by something like the PICO-8. And open source is important to me because I always want to have the option to answer questions by reading the code. So far on both fronts Godot has been great!

Hello hm, my name is Alain, and i'm french and sorry if my english is not perfect :3 I discovered Godot few months ago. My project is a "remake" of Landstalker on Megadrive, a game of 1993 in isometric 2d. I began this project there 1 month and... it's very cool to do it. i practiced blender valve hammer editor, eduke32, udk, ... i tried sometimes Ue4 and i think that Godot is perfect for me : i can do plate-former (like sonic), 2d isometric game (like landstalker) and 3d game (like duke nukem 3D), so... i will try to make funny things with it =)

I just noticed this thread now. So... Hi everyone!

I wanted to make a simple 3D game for a long time, but didn't like the AAA engines nor going too low level. I learned about Godot in a Blender chat or forum or video or... I don't remember but was Blender related. I don't know if I'll ever be able to make a complete game, but it sounds fun to try. I wouldn't mind working in a team, but I have very specific taste in games so I guess I'll be going solo for a while. If I get anywhere I'll post it here!

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty late to this thread, since I'm using Godot since 2019 and I've been posting here, in the sub-Reddit and in the QA Godot website. But somehow I've missed this thread.

My name is Marcos, I'm 34 and I'm from São Paulo, Brazil. I'm a geologist and I've been working with engineering infrastructure projects like highways and railways since 2013. Besides practicing sports, playing guitar and reading, playing video games and trying to make games have been my hobbies in the last years.

Being a fan of video games since I was a child, I've always wanted to do something related to it. I've started playing with Blender in 2005, and started learning Python in 2010. Since then, I've played with many game engines, like Unity, Unreal, Pandas3D and Blender Game Engine.

It was only with Godot, around the end of 2019, that I've decided to do something serious with game dev. To force myself to actually finish something, I've realized the best way would be to publish a game, so that there would be no turning back after it is in the web.

Right now I'm making a 3D racing game, and it has been a lot of fun, and it's the longest project I've been working as a hobbie (maybe not only hobbie if it proves commercially viable?), since it's been 1,5 year right now, began in january 2020. So I think it's going all right. And Godot is a key factor in this.
