yeah this is cool

This is kinda cool

Cool vibe. I got soft locked at the very beginning when it told me I could pick up the lantern. I couldn't move forward or backward. 

Hey! For some reason I'm not seeing it. Share your handle?

Hi, I'm a first time developer working on a puzzle/platformer. The basic idea is that you're a miniature crab that scientists have given super intelligence and abilities to. You are trying to pass their tests to gain the powers you need to escape the tank. I'm programming it, but definitely need an artist for the sprites/animations/tilemaps. Willing to pay for professional quality work/responsiveness.

Hey, this sounds like a perfect fit. I sent a friend request to you on discord. @milpool 

hey! sounds cool, messaged you on discord @milpool

Hey I reached out on discord. Working on a puzzle/platformer where you're a crab escaping from a tank where humans are doing animal intelligence experiments on you. 

Hey, great timing! I just came on here to look for an artist for a project. Messaged you on Discord. @milpool

This is beautiful. Beginner question: how do I work with the white background? When I slice it's keeping the background white but that doesn't match the color of my scene's background? What is the right way to handle that?

Very cool

Super fun game. Hooked me right away. Great work. 

Super interesting. Really enjoyed it

Extremely cool game. 

Thanks for the tip CurioShade and being patient with someone learning the ropes. Updating the post now. 

Hey, I'm trying to do something similar. I'm not sure if I'd be able to help much since I'm uber beginner, but would be curious to hear about your progress if there's a server open. I clicked the link but it seems to be timed out.

Hi all, new to the community. Seems like an awesome space. I'm quitting my job and want to learn game development. I think my engine of choice is Godot. Have been learning it last couple weeks and running into some blocks. I'm pretty brand new to coding, but I have a lot of drive and will have a lot of time on my hands. 

I'm looking for someone available 1-2 hours a week for weekly hour-long coaching sessions, and sporadic question answering over email. I'll pay $100/hr for the coaching, and pay $1 / min for random zoom tech support questions during the week. 

About the game: I'm still conceiving of it and am choosing between really simple overhead perspective for navigation through a variety of rooms, or even more simply, each scene is just a flat layer with minimal background and a portrait of the character you're interacting with. Gameplay will consist of navigating dialogue trees while attempting not to lose morale (a la Disco Elysium), interspersed with mini-games that symbolize various mental processes (e.g. "pushing away intrusive thoughts"). 

Ideal coach is experienced building 2D games in Godot. At this point I'm trying to learn the basics by just diving into designing and building the fairly simple mini-games. But will need a lot of help with the main game where they are all connected, with a variety of dialogue tree-based scenes, with a basic inventory, health bar, etc...Would also be very cool if someone can shine a bit of a light onto how I would conceive of the assets needed and how to partner with this community to invite paid and volunteer collaborators for animation especially.

Would be a huge plus if you're also a nice person who's into the idea of helping someone realize their dream.
