Introduce Yourselves!

impractical-programmer

I've been a long time user of the TGC Forums, which you folks may or may not know of. I am known there as Dark Java Dude 64. I originally joined those forums to seek support developing games with Dark Basic Professional, but within a few years lost general interest in programming and became, what I still am today, an off topic board dweller. I still write the occasional post about programming or whatever, but it's not too often.<br /><br />Anyway, yodamanjer (or whatever alias he goes by on these forums, he's a mod) invited me to come over and join these forums. I honestly don't know much about GoDot or its respective forums, but I'd be more than glad to become part of another online community! (the TGC one is sort of falling apart right now at best)

Ah, welcome my friend! Glad to see you got my link I sent you.  :) Indeed, the biggest reason I was attracted to Godot in the first place is because of how open the engine is, when compared to something such as DarkBASIC Pro. Juan is constantly adding new and amazing features that honestly rival even the Unreal Engine. Even though you may not do much game development anymore, I do highly encourage you to try out Godot if you ever feel that itch again in the future. Or, if it's a physical itch, perhaps you should consult your local dermatologist!This forum is still very new but is always expanding, and Kiori and toger5 do a great job of running things here. I also suggest checking out the projects board to see what Godot is capable of. There are some many, many promising things that these talented people are working on.

Greetings,i take the initiative from 'Impractical Programmer', and i'm coming to say hello  :-X.I'm an indie game developer and computer engineer.I always love draw and the video games and i tested a some engines (also construct2) and frameworks (the last one was love2d) and now i'm coming to use Godot, y read a lot of them and i like what i saw (including the community). I make some prototypes and now i pretend to made my first own game. I like draw, the photograph and the music and i love my cat haha, and of course programming My english isn't so good, but i put the effort  ;) !

[quote author=Noizy link=topic=15676.msg17307#msg17307 date=1470324212]welcome, and i have a question...What is TGS ?  :-X [/quote]It's actually TGC.  ;) And it stands for "The Game Creators", a company based in the UK that used to produce some nice game making products but as of 2010 haven't really outdone themselves yet. Also, I have gone ahead and merged the two introduction threads, as we really only need one.  8)

Welcome :). There's much to know regarding godot, considering of course you need such a solution. To be honest, at first glance I thought "Oh well, just another engine" but godot's been very useful and turned out to surprise me a lot due to it's cpp codebase and active community.<br>Enjoy your stay.<br>

hi! i'm working on a game called "The City of Scales". i showed my soundtrack in another thread; that's really the only public thing about my game so far.

i started off at Esenthel, and i was going to make my game 3d, but eventually realized that was not feasible for me, working alone. so i switched to Game Maker and 2d, which worked really well for awhile. i got my code i would say 2/3rds complete using GM. just a couple days ago though after getting stuck again due to Game Maker's problems i quit GM and now i'm here. i like the control Godot offers, instead of trying to compromise and adapt things to GM. so this is my third Game Engine. hopefully the GML code i have will be not too difficult to port over to Godot.

Hi. I am a full time game developer at a company in Berlin. In my last job I was part of the core tech team - I don't get to do much of that these days - and I am thinking something like the Godot engine is a good candidate to play with in my spare time.

Hi! I'm an ex Nintendo DS developer, ex Unity teacher and just made the switch to the lovely little Godot. Here's my first Godot game: FlowBalls

Hello! My name is Daniel and I'm a graphic designer and illustrator from Brazil!

I'm a game enthusiast and since I was little I dreamed of making games! I even worked for some time on a company that was making educational games on flash, some other time making comics, and now I have a regular day job, found out about Godot last week through Game Design Quest video and since then started learning python and reading Godot's documentation.

I have some prior experience with scripting, mostly related to web design work, PHP (mostly for wordpress themes), javascript (really basic) and jQuery.

I'm excited to be here and collaborate on projects as an artist as well as making my own projects on Godot, maybe! (I'm currently on the pong tutorial from the step by step on the documentation page)

I am a professional web application developer, but have always had an interest in game development. I have played around with a lot of 2D and 3D engines and I am very excited by Godot’s approach to game development. I have been going through the tutorials in docs and I am porting a game tutorial from another system to Godot to help me learn the engine. Looking forward to maybe meeting some follow game developers here.

Oops ... Sorry I meant to post this to the Introduce Yourselves! discussion. I see where I went wrong.

Hi, I'm an Italian with "short experience" in many subjects,from python to blender (yes,that head is made by me in blender after a week of trials). Since I'm on Linux,I wanted to try to find a way to achieve something in my life,so, I will try with this powerful application to make some 2d games :)

Hi everyone. I'm a writer and someone who likes free software. Although I have been programming for very long as a hobbyist, I started developing games not so long ago. I've done some simple games with LÖVE, which I like a lot. I want to try Godot now.

I'm mostly interested in making (and playing) 2D games, especially puzzle games. But that doesn't mean I won't make games in other genres. If you're interested, you can try my LÖVE games on itch.io.
