Oh I'm not denying it's power or utility. I've seen AMAZING projects made with Godot. Everything from 2d metroidvanias to actual trenchbroom level having Quake clones
But first I learned Unity's API. Then Unreal's. If I'm gonna have to learn a 3rd it's gonna be my own

I want to achieve a retro game so I'll use trenchbroom but I need vertex colours and I can't do that in there so oops.

I can use trenchbroom for Godot??
I may have to give that a shot, though lighting is still going to be difficult.
(Every time I've tried lighting simple indoor meshes in unity it was DISASTROUS and I doubt godot has much better lighting)

UZDoom can work for Build style, Scythe for Unreal looks promising, Trenchbroom for Quake (and Godot) is great
and that's about it for modern options

Lastly, I was trying out some movement mechanics. Stamina, ledge grabbing, wall climbing, etc. It was feeling good to traverse a vertically design space. Throughout all of these I used TrenchBroom through the Qodot plugin for easy level design.

Yeah, interactive stuff and moving props all happen in godot, things that don't move and are effectively "part of the map" are left in the Trenchbroom. I'm gonna have to figure something out, this is a nightmare.

…shit, if I can find a friend who can do 3D models/can learn some basic blender rigging to do it myself I might do that. Seems fun, and I already know Trenchbroom
Any requests? I immediately thought of 5732 as “what anomaly could be in the worst possible taste for this game” for some reason

Also helps that Quake source ports are getting more accessible SDKs to work with (Quake Brutalist Jam AFAIK is built on the "Copper" mod/SDK base, and I'm hearing interesting things coming out of the still WIP Nuclide SDK), and how good map tools like Trenchbroom are getting.

Hold up Trenchbroom is working on Ubuntu ok? 👀 This is big news to me

finding out all my game dev stuff works in ubuntu flawlessly makes me want to get back into working on this stuff. block bench, trenchbroom, godot, and even vroid works in here perfectly
I really want to get back into making games. I felt genuinely creative for the first time in so long

I think I just had the most evil idea for a Quake map ever, both towards myself and others (making realistic terrain in Trenchbroom is a ton of work) (but god I want to make a scary fucking cave)

#Val'tyFPS maps from Trenchbroom to #Godot (Func_Godot).
I just need to learn how to optimize my maps in Trenchbroom, but I'm liking the results and how straightfoward it is to import/update in godot.

The year is 1996, you're making a level using brushes in the .map file format for Quake using WorldCraft.
The year is 2026, you're making a level using brushes in the .map file format for the Godot Engine using Trenchbroom.

I tend to just make my maps out of null and then go back through and apply textures to only visible faces.
Also, on blender -> .map i used that to get like a block out before i learned trenchbroom existed back when i was working on Ascension

Back in TrenchBroom with a renewed zeal, but also it's so late that it's early, so I'm going to go to bed

Feeling a bit destructive. Should I take up on a third fps game project simultaneously, so I can get nothing done? Sounds like a perfect deal.
There are only 2 things in my life and those are Trenchbroom and wasting time.
