I decided the next game I want to make that is within my capabilities (hopefully) is a shump so I’ve been playing a bunch of shumps to get inspired for my own project. Of all the games I tried out so far (and there’s been a lot), I found Mushihimesama, Radiant Silvergun, and Zeroranger the most interesting ones to invest more time in.
No OpenBSD export in the default Godot as far as I can find. There’s a guide to making custom export templates that might work but it’s beyond me
Yeah! It’s honestly amazing how quickly I went from having to google every simple concept to just instinctually understanding how to make something work and then just… doing it
I knew a little JS before this but not very much. Just enough to supplement or make small changes to other people’s work. The basic concepts of GDscript I understood without problems, anything beyond that is a process
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Not too long. I started with Godot 3 a couple years ago, got distracted, and I’m only now getting back into Godot 4. So far I’ve only done like a handful of tutorials and made a few basic template games from that so maybe 4 or 5 weeks total. I’m also not very experienced with coding so it’s been a struggle. I have a vague idea of what needs to happen to make my game ideas work, like on a high level, but I have a really hard time figuring out how to piece it together and the tuts didn’t really help with that.
At least I’m much more confident in creating assets when I get to that part.
RPCS3 reqs are serious, I can’t even run it well on my desktop.
Your CPU meets the minimum single thread req for pcsx2 so I think it should work (possibly with tweaking).
How does Dolphin run? You can try the ishiiruka fork which is performance focused
No, unfortunately your clock speed is too slow for Citra and most modern emulators. Emulators are heavily dependent on CPU and you won’t be able to overcome that with software changes. More info on required specs per emulator
Mothership Zeta is usually considered the worst DLC so it’s only up from there
The nostalgia has long since worn off and I’m struck once again by how little content there is in FO3 compared to FNV. Getting antsy to travel to the Mojave but I want to clean up the DLC first so I don’t have a reason to come back
Thank you for the donation so far 
I got another donation elsewhere so I’m only about $5 short of my goal. If anyone can spot that I’d be very grateful
VATS made sense in 1 & 2 due to the third-person isometric design. It feels clunky and shoehorned in a first-person setting. The gunplay in vanilla is awful but mods fix that and make it a proper shooter in a way Bethesda can’t seem to manage.
I understand the philosophy of carry weights but fiddling with inventories in Beth games has never been engaging to me. And the mods add a lot of new stuff so it compound the problem. What’s the point of adding new stuff if you’re not picking it up?
That was my first project beyond very simple tutorial stuff so I’m honestly not too much further than complete beginner myself! I think you should just go for it! Engine-wise I chose Godot because it’s open-source and it’s pretty simple to get started for a hobbyist like me but Unity is also a good choice due to the sheer amount of support and resources available. I wouldn’t stress engine choice too much since many concepts will crossover so you’re not like starting from scratch if you decide to change.
I’m happy to help answer questions or give pointers or whatever to get you started if you ever want
