making a game / devlog #01

I finally grew the balls to start making a game. why tho? when I tried making a compiler from scratch and it didn’t fucking work, maybe im stupid. then I tried coding a game from scratch (c++ and opengl), also didn’t work. I was depressed for some time, tried reading /gegd/ for some clues and found out about godot (thx godot anon). so I gave it a shot. In one week of jus testing the program, I already have a “functioning game” (using the term game pretty loosely here), with good movement, though some mechanics will be added in the future, a gun and a basic enemy ai. I’m trying to keep the project organized since the start, and I think I’m doing a pretty good job at it.

for the weapons, I’m using a system similar to gmod’s, where you have a base weapon class and then can branch off from there.

here are some screenshots for yall:

thas pretty much it for rn, im cooking up a vlog (EPIC XDDDD) to show more stuff when the game is slightly more presentable.
