Welcome to the programming.dev Godot community!
This is a place where you can discuss about anything relating to the Godot game engine. Feel free to ask questions, post tutorials, show off your godot game, etc.
Make sure to follow the Godot CoC while chatting
We have a matrix room that can be used for chatting with other members of the community here
We have a four strike system in this community where you get warned the first time you break a rule, then given a week ban, then given a year ban, then a permanent ban. Certain actions may bypass this and go straight to permanent ban if severe enough and done with malicious intent
At least you did not start with implementing your own homegrown game engine for your non-existing game.
A physics-based dragon MMO?
I was worried you stole my idea but you obviously haven’t considered the extensive breeding gameplay loop.
No, I'm constantly thinking about breeding dragons.
More like a cube-based dragon OpenGL rendering library. All the dragons were cubes.
I kind of want to play this cube-dragon game. A game that’s funny and well done in every other respect but the visuals sounds amusing.
What, you don't like cubes? You some sort of anti-cubist?
Cubes are great and render really fast, and you can even have cubes in different colors.
If you’ve got the hardware for different colours, sure. Most will see only greyscale cubes.
I've done this and I enjoyed it. I dunno why, but I love developing frameworks. Ended up writing two mini games for my engine (breakout and curveball) so that it could actually do something, at which point I discovered how difficult accurate collision detection is. Though it was about 20 years ago, I should rewrite the engine for DX12 and Vulcan (it's DirectX 8 iirc, needs to be more modern) and then see if I can do better with the collision detection.
Lol I could probably rewrite the games from scratch in Godot and have them finished in a few hours despite only being partially through the beginner's tutorials, just to give an idea of how basic the engine and games were.
But it was still pretty fun to make!
