I'm a writer who grew up with 'The Secret of Monkey Island', 'Loom' and 'Master of Magic', and am finally giving creating my own games a try. I've made a short one already and like the idea of participating in jams to get my experience up. I tend to hand draw for 2D games and that'll probably become my signature. Coding is my weakness and I'll greatly appreciate any future advice!

Yep youll do fine!

I was always sad I never played those old adventures when they were new. I know you can get the remasters or on emulators, but it's not the same as if you played them at the time. I really loved Sam & Max though, that was one of my favorite games. And I played Full Throttle, I think that was made by some of the same developers at LucasArts.

I know what you mean - graphics have moved on and a lot of the games today were built on the winning aspects of these precursors, while (hopefully) also improving on their flaws. That being said, I still like the old Monkey Island over the voiced remastered version - and I don't think it's just down to nostalgia. Sometimes changing the original formula loses some of its magic.

Hello, @Tyr! Welcome to the forums.

And this community here has been nothing but excellent whenever I have questions. If you need anything, just ask. =)

Hello everyone. My story is an old one =) I started coding when I was 14 years old (I will be 51, this year) and some of my early programs where graphic related. That includes 3D stuff, back in the days when there were almost no 3D applications and we had to code everything from scratch. I graduated as a graphic designer but I mainly do 3D, photo-retouching, infographics animation, and coding (graphic stuff, mainly scripts and plug-ins). I mainly use Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo, Photoshop, After Effects and Cinema 4D. But I also got curious into trying Blender. And, since I had a few personal projects brewing for quite a while now, I started looking into some game engines. Looked at Unreal, but my machine just can't cope with it (and I want to keep it, as long as it is working fine). Downloaded Unity and it looked fine. But after downloading Godot, I kind of liked it better. Mainly because I'm inlove with Python and GDScript is very pythonesque :) So, in my (not many) spare times, I decided to start dealing with Godot. That means that I will have lots of questions. So, bare with me ;)

Welcome to the forums! And never feel afraid to ask questions. If you can't ask questions, basically it means you can't learn. The people here are willing to help you in the process. =)

Welcome! From your description I really think Godot is right up your alley =D Graphics are pretty good right now in Godot but they will be even better when Godot 4.0 comes out pretty soon. I definitely recommend trying blender out, it's a great program.

I'm not really good enough to answer most questions here, but I ask a lot and from my experience everyone is really friendly and asking a lot shouldn't be a problem at all. If you want to chat about random stuff with everyone here, check out the Talk About Anything Post.

(also a tip, if you ask a more technical question here and we have trouble giving an answer you can also put it on the Godot Q&A where I think a lot of more technical godot-ers hang out (I could be wrong, lol)

Anyways welcome to the forumns! =D

Hey hey and welcome. I studied computer art is school and used about all the popular apps. Graphic design, video editing, sound, 3D modeling, the works. I used Blender now and I love it. It really is the best, but it takes a second to get used to. I also use GIMP now. I realize it is not as good as Photoshop, but it is free and works on Linux and it's good enough for most stuff. Lots of great open source apps you can use if you spend some time to learn them. And Godot is the best.

Slava

Hello everyone, my name is Slava. I'm new to the gamedev field, so I decided to visit this forum. I'm working on my project alone (at least for now). I hope that I will be able to get more knowledge and some help here.

Hello everyone, name's Joseph. I've been a programmer professionally for some time, but I wanted to crack open the old hobbyist work and start a project with Godot. That little sprite there is a winged sausage character from a game I did open source a while back called Bwock, and I'm thinking he's making a comeback =)

So far I really enjoy the engine. My only gripes haven't been any different than the ones I had trying to use Unity, since I'm a troublemaker who always seems to attempt bizarre mechanics outside of the expectations of these engines. But I didn't exactly feel going from scratch either, so here we are. Hope everyone is doing good.

By the way, the rules link vanished after I confirmed my email, anyone care to point me to it so I don't get myself in trouble somehow? <3

Welcome to the forums @JosephAustin! I like Bwock there. The only real rule here is to try not to talk at great length about things far outside game dev. =)
