you can also use if is_equal_approx(0, interpolated_quat.angle_to(quat_box.quaternion)): at line 78 in quinternion_demo it will check for mild over and under shoot

I don't understand how someone may lock the rotation using this method, if possible. Assuming you start using quaternions for a players camera for some reason... If you want to lock it to 30 degrees from the top and bottom so the player doesn't start flipping when going to far. I assume euler would fit this purpose better?

First video that gives the intuition of quaternion real fast.

I’ll do it! 😅

@SDGGames so i have an idea for a free christmas amusement park game we might could finish by christmas, it just needs a bunch of different minigames for carnival booth's and a high score save system for each one, then the player can walk around an amusement park and interact with mini games, the only revenue could be to continue the minigames after you die by watching an ad, and just darts and baloon popping or like a test your strength based on clicks per sec and give them 5-10 seconds and make up like 20 different levels for the reward like how it would usually be wimp to super strength or something plus ring toss, would be an eventful mobile friendly game for everyone with multiple game choices and a thematic park

Enjoying this resource. It would be cool if there was a specific section to share results or even an official hashtag.

Sorry to hear about your struggles. Praying for you <3

The menu side of godot has always been a mystery to me, this really helped!

Congratulations on the upcoming release of your game on Steam! The anticipation surrounding your project is a testament to the incredible creativity and hard work you’ve poured into it. As a specialist in gaming, I highly encourage you to leverage the wishlist feature. It’s a powerful tool that allows players to express their excitement and ensures they won’t miss out on your launch. Engaging with your community through updates can further boost interest.

I found your channel by chance when I clicked on the link the creator of the "20 Game Challenge" put at the end of their introductory video. Let me tell you the rest of the story. I started a discipleship group with a friend about 3 months ago, and a month in, we restarted the d-group to add a third person. The whole point of a d-group is to follow in the path that Jesus laid out for us: 1.) Learn from others (Jesus ministered while his disciples watched) 2.) Jesus then allowed the disciples to assist Him in ministry, 3.) The disciples ministered, and Jesus assisted them, 4.) Jesus observed as the disciples ministered, and this can be generalized as a three-part methodology of "Go, Baptize, Teach" (Robby Gallaty, Growing Up). In this journey thus far, I've been learning that God wants us to use our skills and abilities to reach others. I've always bound myself to the ideology that to reach others I must talk to every person I meet and ask them "if you were to die tonight, are you confident in where you will spend eternity?", which, in some aspects can be a great model, but only for the yappers as my kids call them, or those with the gift of gab as I say. I am neither. I don't have a desire to talk to random strangers, I'm not shy and reserved, but yet, I still have no desire to talk to people, it's just not my thing. Four days ago, I was scrolling through Steam, trying to find a new game to play and I was just sick of all the games out there. Then I saw Baldur's Gate 3, and I thought, "I bet it won't be that bad, and I could ignore a lot of stuff, it's just a game." Then I opted to do some research on it (and was SHOCKED at some of the content). I read some reviews from Christian perspectives, and I was also shocked at how people justified it with the mentality of; "it's just a game, overlook the bad stuff" which was also my first instinct until I did my research. Then I had this overwhelming sense that, if I had to ask myself or anyone else about their perspective on a game, then I'm answering the question already. I 100% should not allow myself to change my moral code because, someone who did, thinks it's no big deal to overlook sexual immorality and Satan worship to name a couple of things this game portrays. This led me to this idea. You see, I just graduated two months ago with a degree in IT with an emphasis on software development. It's not a CS degree, but I have enough experience with it, that I could get started. It formed this question: Why can't we have a Christian game, that is just as fun as BG3, or WoW, or enter any other mainstream title, but yet, it stresses good morals and values? I think BG3 looks like the 'funnest' game ever, if you'll allow me to invent words. There are so many people that want something different and new. I include myself in that category. Sometimes, it just takes a willingness to step out and go all-in on your ideas. For me, I'm not a game developer yet, which is what landed me on this page, writing this comment to begin with. But three days ago, I said a prayer. I said, "Lord, if this is your idea, then I ask you to put people in my life that have a passion for this sort of thing and can help with the things I'm not good at (music and art mainly)". I don't think for one second that this is a coincidence. Maybe you're not an artist or musician, but you're someone with a similar mentality and passion. I stopped watching your first video because I didn't want the spoilers for how you did it in Godot. I plan to get started on that project immediately. I was, however, intrigued by your series so I was just perusing your video timeline and found your first update video and was pleasantly surprised to hear you say you wanted to make Christian games, then you spoke of how you almost forgot how to code which also spoke to me. Then I saw this video and I didn't even finish it before I started typing. I don't know what your plans are, you're farther along this journey than I am, but I do know that I am excited to see what God is doing in my life and your video further solidifies that I am on the right track. This is how God works. I will pray for you, that God gives you new ideas, and that he gives you favor in your endeavors. I will join your Discord now as I want to see how your progress! Thanks for the great video, and thank you for being a light in a oft-times dark world :)

Too bad it breaks in search so easily.

Yeah you finally were able to make me understand. All other explanations tried to explain quats as some four dimensional object. its just a vector and a rotation value

Thank you so much!! I really need it

the explanation of the concept of quaternions is very helpful but your code example in godot is very confusing as you don't explain much of the godot specific syntax, as well as having several variables that aren't explained

Dying to learn more and see your journey. I'm genuinely interested in seeing all of the videos showcased in 3:09 - especially the secular art conversation. The reason why is because I truly believe to make a game profitiable, you need three key factors: 1. + 2. Appeal / Peak Character Design --> This does the marketing and sales of your game. (Character design doesn't have to pertain to humans, but the source of action itself) 3. Replay Value --> Naturally enforces the best marketing tactic of all time because this generates 'word of mouth.' You absoulety can achieve this without making 'disrespectful' or 'secular' art - although it tends to use a different approach, so I'm interested in hearing your take on it - especially with christian values in the forefront of your approach. Good luck on your journey!

impressive.. i wonder how they did physics in the original

what if I have array of Vector3 points - whith I want rotate around... center of mass?

Looks really cool btw. Very nostalgic.

In some areas it might be beneficial to not actually use a physics interaction, but to directly apply a force to the ball through code (for example with the pickers). That might make certain interactions more reliable.

The game story looks fun, i dont think I understand the gameplay from the trailer, so maybe that's an area to improve, but since I'm an artist I maybe could give you some feedback in the discord later

Hard painted level? That seems rough for replayability and scaling =O

Hi! its amazing to see your proccess of creating a game , and i wish you luck on your first game 😊 And also , i bleve some time limitations make a game much better You cab use a color pallate and a simppler textur for your dirt tiles And also , smoth straght edgest doesnt suit a mining game , make some dedormations on the edges of rhe tile map so it doesnt look this smooth Hope you succeed1

Nifty

you best

Fun fact Scott Cawthon the creator of the Five Night at Freddy Video games is a Christian game creator so who says Christians don't make games.

कॅडोट

That's bold move - I'm christian myself, I dont really see how this may work - in general christians are against most games(violence or other improper content). So i guess you can only focus on some point and click/puzzle/logic games. Anyway I didnt see any "buddist"/"muslim" or any other religions based games - imo its bc no one wants to hurt feelings or something, dunno... Anyway does game like "Constantine"(ye this one based on movie with same title) - could be threated as christian game? - it have some elements in it... Please dont feel offended - that was not my point - just tryin to understand how it will work or whats your plan about it

Good luck!

As someone who struggles to define the scope of my own projects, I really like the idea of this format. I just need to get better at prototyping and making all sorts of different games. I like that the goals are clearly defined and I don't have to think about it as much. I think this is something I can actually work on when I have the time, rather than hyper focusing on one project and burning out. Definitely going to give this a shot. Thank you!

Absolutely stellar video. I don't think you could have explained every control node any better or more succinctly if you tried. I've been focusing a lot on projects that are almost entirely control node based for a while now, and I really wish I'd seen this video when I started.

hey, I am also always wondering why we do not have good Christian games or even movies. I'm with you on that, may Jesus bless you and more people with the same feeling and desire to create Christian content. I'm gonna join your discord and follow your work. Congrats on your decision, I believe everything is gonna work, and all the Glory to our Lord! 🙏🏽

A TH-cam video with the title Every Control Node Explained AND it's not in "Five Minutes"??? What's going on here??? 🤔

And if you posted Google Play on your game, yours?

How to make a game on Minecraft this year?

(laughs in virtualbox drag and drop)

Great vídeo! One thing that is not clear to me in the your code: How are you obtaining this ijk value? Are you using local or global basis?

For some reason my original comment didn‘t go through but I wish you the best of luck my friend, and we‘ll stay in touch all the way through.

I hope creating video/games (pun intended) gives as much fun as it does to me. The performance video of minecraft was awesome

Some of the posts in your game are absolutely hilarious! It really made me smile. But mostly I'm writing to thank you for making this video - I'm working on my own clicker game (my first game!) and it was great to hear your thoughts about making it.

So I do I apply this to godot trash animation playernso it shuts up and leaves me alone

Interesting. What time period are you thinking of? I am curious what Christian SciFi would look like.

Excited to see you go full steam ahead!

Oh wow, can I help make games with you, I work in unreal engine, I know HTML, Java, css, SQL, all c languages, and am pretty proficient in blueprints but not as much as I'd like to be - I'm Christian and I've been making games part time I've finished and am releasing one, I am excellent at level design and I love this idea, and anyway I can help id be happy to help any way I can, god bless you and I pray for your success, I'm gonna try to see if I can get the same type of grant and maybe we could collaborate honestly I've just wanted to make sure I am set for that long to do my game dev full time

Christian game developers are not common because their audience is often limited to a specific demographic. However, if your goal is to use game development as a form of missionary work, this limitation may not be a concern. You could potentially find a good balance between profitability and outreach. I understand the struggle of reconciling the creation of games-a medium that can seem hedonistic-with the greater purpose of life. As a Moslem, my current solution to this existential dilemma is to apply what I've learned from game development to create apps that help people reflect on the creation of Allah. Good luck to you and May god grant us Guidance Amen.

Cool!

If you promote creationism you're an evil human.

I'm a Muslim and i think the courage to choose this path considering how toxic some online trolls can get is admirable . Good luck!

Glory be to God! Continue to walk and develop with the lord, brother ❤

Neat - good luck

I was using godot to make games now I use it to make my own tool. But I'm catholic ,) I'm not fulltime developer though so good luck ❤
