For the gun sounds, you can just change the audio pitch and fix it very fast.

I'd love to see the comedic effect of enemies flying away when killed but with added ragdoll on top, so that they might crash into things while flying away

I look forward to when (if) you open up the development to community contributions. I'm a 3D artist and would love to pitch in with a model or two :)

Looking forward to trying the demo, but I hope this 'strategy' pans out for you. Personally, I'm of the mindset of 'delay it til it's ready.' Still, glad that you're making progress!

you are like me we procrastinate everything

I can't wait for the demo, keep up the good work!

For my projects, I like to have things separated in lists like this: "Now" for what needs to be done for my current goal/milestone, "Next" for what is not that important to accomplish that goal and "Backlog" for writing new ideas that I still need to validate or would be cool to implement some day. When I finish the current milestone, I move the items from "Next" to "Now" and I see what I would also like to implement from the "Backlog" or if I want to remove anything at all from the list.

From now on in TF2, I'll call Jarate "I'll fix it later."

"I'll fix it later..." has a funny way of turning into "Shit... I gotta fix that now" at midnight.

The flying bodies mechanism is not only funny as hell, but also kinda ingenious! You give away your approximate position with every kill, so it's something players will need to strategize around.

You can proceduraly generate the sound based on weapon characteristics - ammo caliber, barrel length, ammo energy at barrel exit, etc. Just the first thing you need is to compare your SPLs (sound pressure level of gunshot sounds) to already known values (everywhere on the internet)

Ammo pick ups can drastically change how a game is played from my fps experience so you might want to give that some dev time. good luck on the demo and keep making these awesome down to earth dev logs!

Im even more excited now to try it out tbh ❤️ great work so far! keep up the good work! 😁 as much as I love the different reloading animations and the very cool outlandish insane Gmod ones, as much as I know how incredibly difficult it is to make 😅 so I understand

Love to see how far this project and your channel has come! Can't wait to give it a try. If you need any audio files, voice acting etc. I am here to help! Keep rocking on.

The "I will fix it later" mentality in the corporate world is called MVP.

"Ill leave it for future me" moment

i think the game itself should be called "i'll fix it later" and just run with the meme. Keep up with the awesome work

love the content you have been doing, im an artist myself so i understand the i will do it later strat lol. would love to see the game in action, and if you need someone to do character designing/concept art, im here!

Um. About the “gun sfx.” I’m very invested in watching this game be built from the ground up (can’t wait for the demo!). I own many of guns (different types and calibers ranging from bolt actions, revolvers, lever actions, pump actions, and simi auto hand guns and rifles of different calibers) and have a good RØDE mic and a quiet place outdoors that I could catch some sound samples of whatever you need? Brass hitting the ground? Got it. Actions cycling? Mhm! Gun shots of 5.56, 9mm, 12ga, 7.62, .308 and the likes? Yup! Edit: no. I wouldn’t charge a cent. I go shooting every weekend. I’d just have to bring a laptop and a mic with me lol. Edit 2: I can get reloading sounds of all of these as well! Anything else, just ask! I’m sure I forgot some stuff here. 😅

"I have to make models of bullets" litterally shows a model of a bullet in blender

i think you should add ammo boxes in the demo, just make it a red cube, because needing to find ammo affects gameplay a lot

"i'll fix it later" is a perfectly valid design principle. Sometimes you just need something functional in place in order to move on to something else.

Omg I was waiting so i could give a suggestion so here Add a meat tenderizer / mallet so we can beat the 🍖 ☺️

Bro literally adopted the modern professional game dev practice

looks good, and im glad youre keeping the flying enemy deaths that shit is hilarious

Ah, thinking like a triple a multi million dollar studio already. I'm so proud

This is looking great man, love the progress

Another way you could avoid ragdoll difficulties is to just make the ragdoll have no collision with the environment - so when you kill them, you blast them in a big arc through the walls and floor! Perhaps you could even calculate where they went through and carve a Wile E Coyote style silhouette through the surface. Like superheroes punching each other through walls!

This Video does serve as an important lesson on project scope and minimum viable products. Thank you for keeping us up to date with the development

I love when your development updates pop up in my feed, I'll definitely have to try Booty Blastin' when there is a demo :)

i literally cannot wait for this demo, i've been following this since the first devlog and i can't express how excited i am :))

Always been watching your progress, and always been waiting for you ❤️

"i'll fix it later" story of my life

for the sound design just grab old recordings into audacity and change pitch a little as a better placeholder and also could you make the weapon's move a little more when walking?

Ah... Becoming more and more like a AAA developer I see

I love the piss jar. Definitely my favorite weapon.

i think you should implement the limited ammo mechanic in the demo, to make it work as a minimal viable product. otherwise it wont be as interesting with unlimited ammo

the "ill fix it later" strategy is a very good one. More and more triple a developers are using it nowadays.

i really like the textures for the bullets and guns its just nice!

Hey man, game is looking good! Ill be here from the start. Can't wait!

Ayo the procedural run cycle looks great! 👍

Love the ragdoll to space aspect as well.

Can't wait for the demo

dont know why but im in love with your content keep up!

For ammo and items, you could take the metal gear solid strategy and just have boxes with labels

Been lovin the vids excited for the demo

""Il fix it later" sounds like something every game dev would say

Just remember not to be a lot of AAA companies, or it’ll be “I’ll fix it never” 😂

It's coming along good

This is called "The AAA strategy".

cant wait for the release

"I'll fix it later" is basically every AAA company currently

For the gun animation I have an idea to make the sway. You can make the sway customizable by adding factors like gun weight and comfortable-ness. You can make a script and just edit the values for each gun and boom And btw That means u should use procedural animations

i'm so ready for this

Game looks great! Any hints at what the multiplayer networking architecture will be based on?

for ammo pick ups, you could try making a simple ammo box, maybe akin to the medium ammo box from team fortress 2, and change the decal or colour depending on the ammo type (maybe make the box more yellow for pistol and smg bullets and make it more orange or red for bigger bullets?)

I absolutely love the flinging deaths

Best rule of a project: make it work, then make it work well

Make sure to make a to-do list and then rearrange it to an order you think makes the most sense for how you develop, for me it's small goals like adding a new item or fixing something that went wrong with a few additional goals beyond them just in case I complete them before whatever my self imposed deadline is, toy around and you'll figure out the system that works for you! :) If you do ever get around to making a second demo that will focus more on the gameplay loop and stuff do make sure to make the ammo crates and stuff but don't be afraid to also have an infinite ammo version and see how that feels to play in comparison as well, could be some real interesting feedback revolving around x vs y and such.

Glad to see you kept the death animations, they're too good 💀

Lets gooo!!!! Demo!!!! Man dont give up ur doing great job!!!!

You underestimate the power of procrastination, later can always come… later

Best death animation ever 😂 wondering what happens on the other player's screen lol

You're gonna regret this method when "later" comes around and you have to fix all these different things. Maybe it works for you, but I'd pull my hair out.

Very happy to hear the flying bodies are staying indefinitely

As a game dev, my best advice is focus on getting the gameplay just right. First focus on making first and foremost a thing that's fun to play AND that provides something new, something unique to your game. A reason for people to choose your game over CoD or Rainbow Six Siege or Ready or Not or whatever. All of the minutia of sounds and animations can come AFTER you've nailed the gameplay aspects.

i think this is just a good example of prioritizing, not procrastinating!

I'll watch it later...

really cool to see Godot getting the love it deserves

A quick way to vary each weapon animation is by multiplying the weight of it with a curve. Each curve can be created relatively quickly. I'm not sure if GODOT has a built in curve data type, but it could be helpful. Just a thought :)

you can get alot of mileage out of messing with the pitch, speed, and volume of a gunshot sound; generally louder/deeper makes it sound like a bigger gun, with softer/higher fits smaller guns better. the speed of the clip can make it sound more or less snappy which doesn't really correspond in as tangible of a way, but playing with it by ear can give you a little extra variety out of the same sound files. these values can be adjusted using code, at least in unity 3d so presumably godot has a similar feature.

Can’t wait for the demo. Looks really good.

Thank u garbaj

i like the new textures , less classic but cleaner

My procrastination has been answered

for a reload anim, you could make a mag go up and give it physics (with the gun down and out of view) so you know thats the reload button

i really like watching u and i m learning also, have luck

The thembnail perfectly tells us how creative and genius garbage is and also he knows how to get more views

I too use this unique development strategy. I’ll fix it later is the way.

as long as you pick the right things and set a specific time (like after releasing the demo) to be "later" and sstop doing it after that point it sounds good to me! its easy to fall into the trap of "later" never happening though, so be careful

I am using this "I'll fix it later" feature quite a lot in my prototype. In fact, I am taking it one step further and doing a feature called "I'll add it later". In my feature, I do not add any extra minor or major feature unless and until either it's needed or base functionality is working.

Great strategy my guy, I gotta use it too to be honost other wise my game will be ready next few years XD

will be waiting for the demo, can't wait to actually have some fun in an fps

I think it would be pretty cool to see weapons that create that fling away effect among other weapons that produce comedic or just cool looking effects

Ah godot. Music to my ears

" Models for bullets " ... * shows rounds *

Now: "I'll fix it later". Later: "It's a feature, not a bug".

I would love it if this game were some hyper realistic tactical shooter with the added piss jars and mega ragdolls. Looking forward to this!

I honestly agree with everything but at 1:10 ... That mechanic seems like something you'd want to test because it'd be integral to the core gameplay loop, making sure it still feels fine and flows well when you have to find ammo in the world. Other than that though I love this philosophy lol. The game looks great!

GL man

love the stuff

I like you leaving in funny things. Please do that more often.

The game has a bug if you jump it will crash Garbaj: I'll fix it later.

Would love to play the beta even if I'm a bit laggy (I live in south America)

You should make it like since roads saints row two and if somebody makes it out of bounds having ai spawn that if it catches you it crashes there game

It's very similar to the YAGNI (You aren't gonna need it) approach, and I think it's the best way to do it when you're trying to launch something.

this person so humble making a game for low spec computers

it would be nice for the colours to be a lot more brighter and appealing, i feel that would suit this game alot but just a reccomendation ofc

This is me tryna do my homework 😔

The ragdoll is just a different type of funny ragdoll
