I agree with that... I am thinking about investing in Cardano, it looks really promising.

I am buying Shiba Inu coin. Right now is at $0.00002024 It has a big marketcap, it is being added to new exchanges very often... I think it can be the next big thing. Let's see what happens. What do you think about Safemoon? It is extremely cheap too but I see it has almost not exchanges, not sure what will happen with that one.

Yes, looks great... I didn't know you have a Facebook group. I see it is in your signature... Ok... I'll be there! :-)

I always wanted to create some simple video game. I am investigating Godot Engine and it seems very interesting. Just curious to know if there are others who like doing video games as a hobby or as a way of living. And sharing experiences about game engines and such! :-)

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/03/california-universal-basic-income-study I think this can be very good... I don't believe what people say that if you get an income, that would incentive people to get "free money" and don't work. This is a proof that it can help people to leave poverty and get real jobs. What do you think?

I remember that you posted about it, but reading it once more feels more powerful. Probably is because now I can see things I didn't before... hehehe... Thanks Leo!

Totally agree @DocWatts @aurum Excellent points! I agree is not going to solve everything but is a step in the right direction.

@Leo Gura @mmKay That's why I use Mail Chimp

The good thing is that it was done with studies and investigations, so we have interesting facts, like this: It is something that is proven to help the economy and the individuals. I thinks is a good thing.

Thanks for sharing! I will look for his videos on youtube!

I learn a lot about programming this week. I know now how to move a character in the screen, how to use gravity. I will post more things in the afternoon. I'm working right now.

Thanks @Dumivid I will definitely check that Discord Server and thanks again for the advice about the game jams, I think I still need to learn a bit more before getting into one of those, but I will have them in mind. I found a page that lists a lot of those events. I didn't know there were those kind of events! Really cool... this is the page. Probably you already knew about it. http://www.indiegamejams.com

@Willie I think they won't won this lawsuit, but let's see what happens! Buy pop corn!!! hahaha...

Everything is about me, because there’s only ONE.

Not knowing who you are is a mental health problem, so we are in the right forum. ?

Yeah, the most important thing is doing it with LOVE... that's going to raise any vibrations I am planning to check some of the games mentioned here, about High Consciousness video games to get some ideas about that. Anything that helps to raise collective consciousness will be great !!

@Dumivid I was checking your game in Steam and looks good! Nice that you are already publishing, that's great. And I see that you have a lot of game on itch.io So you have a lot of experience doing games. Nice! Thanks for your suggestions! I already subscribed to that youtube channel, looks good. I was just looking at the making of Celeste, that's a good game and it's a good resource that channel to know how to generate ideas for games, thanks a lot! @Leo Gura I will be installing Unity this weekend and I will try it definitely. Thanks for your recommendations! @Yahya @Hello from Russia @Superfluo I have the idea of placing some wisdom on those games, not sure if I will get to turquoise level hehehe but I will definitely will try to do a game like that... but first we need to learn to do games hehehe... thanks! @Chosendeer This is a great idea!!! I like it... but as you said when I mentioned Point and Click adventures, I think of it is a long term goal after we learn to develop some simple games. The problem with those Adventure games is that they need a lot of animation, and that's a lot of art work. I agree we have to try first with a simple game, and you were talking about Flappy Bird, Ok... I am now creating one clone of Flappy Bird to understand more about game programming... hehehe.. If you want I found some free classes at udemy that I think will help you to understand how games work. They also have Unity classes, not only Godot. But if you want to try with Godot first, here you have a good one about Godot fundamentals https://www.udemy.com/course/godot-101-game-engine-foundations/ I think the instructor is also an expert in Unity and other game engines, he has a website that has a lot of tutorials and they have an academy where they teach programming for games and for other kind of apps. https://godottutorials.pro/ I hope we can do that!!! I am working on the flappy bird clone! If you have any simple idea for a game, we can try that one! No problem!!! This is the tutorial, is also free in Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/flappy-bird-godot/ I will post more updates soon!!!

@nistake

@dharm4 Will do!!! hehehehe

I will definitely be checking Unity, thanks Leo! I knew about Unity but I as @p1xelm0nk just said I also heard that Unity was mostly aimed to 3D games and for a 2D games it maybe be using a lot of power on a computer, and Godot is a bit more "light" in that sense, but I know Unity is great. So I will be investigating that option too... Thanks Leo. Maybe someday you can do a video about your experiences in the game industry... hehehe... I never knew exactly what were you doing in the game industry? Are you a programmer? I am a graphic artist, I have done some characters for a guy who made a game for android, I think it is still in google play. I created the backgrounds, characters and all the elements in the game. I don't know if he continued doing upgrades to the game, it was in Beta when I made the assets for him. I just checked and he just took it out from Google, not sure why. Here he has it in his website, you can see the art I did in there. It was a kind of Tapper game ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapper_(video_game) ) but in a marijuana dispensary hehe... https://passajoint.com/budtender/ Yeah, I heard about that too... but I will try anyway. (Edit: I will do! Not try... @dharm4 made me remember what Yoda said! ) Thanks everyone for your comments and ideas! They were really helpful!!!

Cool BlackMaze! I will check that out! Unreal is awesome too!

Hi Chosendeer, Nice to know that you also want to make video games. It's also a dream of mine, I always admired the people who create those games, and making them is like magic in a sense hehehe... When I was a kid I fell in love with Space Invaders, there were no internet so I had to go to play in places where they had pinballs and arcade video games, I even didn't have a home console. A friend of mine had Atari and I went to his home to play with it. hehehe... yes I am old. :-P But now things have changed. My experience is very basic, I am also not a programmer. I studied graphic design and that's how I become used to work with computers. Because I began to do web design I began to learn some PHP, and other web programming languages. And one thing that I can tell you is that once you learn one programming language all the others work similarly, the only thing is you have to learn the sintaxis. How it is written it varies from different programming languages. I always had problems with programming, it was like I couldn't understand it. But, because it was something that I wanted to do I was in my free time always investigating. I learned (very basic things) in Python, Javascript, PHP, Actionscript (from Flash) and now I decided to try Godot. Godot is an engine to create games, you can do simple 2D games or more complex 3D games. You can download it from here: https://godotengine.org I began first investigating as I mentioned before GDevelop (a different game engine), because it is done in a way that you don't need too much programming, the problem that I see is that is more limited to what you can do, so I decided after doing some simple things with it, I decided to try Godot. And I must say that is not as complicated as I thought. If you are interested in try something with GDevelop here is the link: https://gdevelop-app.com But Godot has some advantages, I think... Godot works in Windows, Mac OSX and Linux, so in theory is possible to create games Multiplatform. Besides that it works on Web and Android and Iphones. But what I see is that GDevelop is more to do only 2D games and Godot you can also create 3D games. I am planning to begin only with 2D games, but once I learn more about game making, my idea is to try some 3D games. So if I learn Godot, I will have that covered too. What I am doing right now is learning from books and from youtube videos like this https://youtu.be/wETY5_9kFtA If you follow that video you will be able to create a character, make it move on the screen to right left and make it walk over a platform. And seems pretty good. But really my knowledge is really basic, I want to do some simple games to get the knack of it and from there begin to make more complicated games. I always liked to do a point and click adventure like The Curse of the Monkey Island by Lucas Arts or things like that. If you are a writer it could be great to have someone who can do the script or the idea for the game! And sounds are always needed so that's good to know that you are studying music. Cool. Yes, why not? Yes, I think that learning some programming would be good. If you investigate Godot you will see that it works with a programming language that is called "GScript". And there's a version that is still in Beta where you will be able to work with C# inside Godot, but is still in process, there's no complete support yet. But C# is a very popular language and is used to create other applications, not only for video games. I will continue sharing here my advances! Keep in touch and tell us if you begin to do something, we can share our experiences here and we see where all this take us to. Maybe we can do a game as you suggested! :-) Right now making games is like something I do as a side hobby, my main focus now is in creating comics and illustrations, but once I learn more about making videos I will definitely work more on that. I will post any new thing I discover here in this thread.
