Motivation
I got some motivation to start making a new game. This time Im starting without real idea what I want to do but rather just going with the flow. From all games I made in the past I never tried making a 3D platformer. I think there’s lots of cool things that are possible to do within this genre. I’ll kinda go loose, we will see what eventually comes out of that or dont?
Learning
I’m a very hands-on learner, as much as I love reading books I dont transfer that knowledge too well into practice. Everything I’ve learned in my life was by fucking around and finding out. I learned photoshop, premiere pro and ableton that way and I’m super confident with my skills within those programs.
With code it’s hard for me to get started on something, but I do find myself working very well with established codebases and started projects. I mentioned before that recently I started learning godot. Its been quite a journey since then and I feel like I didn’t learn too much from it, but I found something that helped me.
I realised that I can decompile games I like made in godot and learn from that. Theres something about looking into others people code and learning from it, I feel like I’ve learned so much more by just decompiling one game than from hours spent on reading books and watching tutorials. It is just a way I absorb the information the best.
