Building a Tropical Paradise in a Brand New Game Dev Platform! 

Nice

lumbermill is 3d represented as 2d though with the isometric perspective

still in alpha btw

Well they don't officially say it's a game engine, it's more like you're making mods and maps for a game, so it's essentially like gmod, they even use lua as in gmod. You won't make any games that you can sell and you can't put "I made maps in core" onto your resume if you want to find a job in that area.

"Core is basically Roblox" was not a sentence I was expecting to read today, but it somehow makes sense

@@_lod Keep in mind that Roblox has been out for 14 years and Core not even one.

@Peter Lustig "oh great the next wave of game devs that have no clue what they are doing. sheeple.. if your not willing to learn programming maybe sell cars not games.. mediocre people wherever you look lol.." My god I don't think I have ever read something that dense from a programmer, and that's saying stuff knowing how toxic dev communities are to newer less knowledgeable people. Core isn't meant to be some top of the line engine that you could make professional games in, some people just want to create a game so their friends and families can have fun and they do not have the time, patience, energy to sink into learning something more sophisticated. Stop acting like an elitist.

Thank you! Lumbermill devlog this weekend!

For the emperor !

Uhh no it is like roblox you can not make app’s in core

You can create a fully functional game witch core without needing to code at all

Nah I'm drawing everything there 🙂

I'd recommend joining the Core discord server, there are loads of people there that can help with all kinds of scripting problems 🙂

You can indeed 👍 I started with the official Lua tutorial: www.lua.org/pil/1.html, then moved on to the core coding tutorials: docs.coregames.com/tutorials/lua_basics_helloworld/

console and mobile support is coming soon to core

Try Godot its a cool engine and only 70 mb or something

I'll be waiting for your reply. But can u please be quick because the deadline of this project is of tomorrow

I followed the tutorial on the Lua website, then the tutorials on the Core documentation website 😊

No, just Lua - it’s pretty easy to pick up though.

just start building anything. I recommend rebuilding old games or simplifications of other games you like. this will give you experience in building games but also give you a chance to understand how these games work behind the scenes and inderstand why they are fun. continuing to put your own twist of the gameplay trying to make it more unique and fun is a good way to try to get more into design. if you want to go indie just continue like that focussing on all 3 disciplines, art, design, and programming. if you want to try to get a job in the industry at a company you should start specializing in one of the disciplines. for design keep building small prototypes of games, you can use primitives and free assets and simple scripts (designers need to be able to script at least their own prototypes). for art start building scenes you can walk through, you can find character controllers online and just start making assets in blender or maya, composition in the engine also teaches you environment art. for programming just continue writing games you already know or try some of those features you thought of in your brain. program them yourself and maybe try to do more advanced things like networking or your own rendering effects. also features like game saving or even game state saving are good to work on. ofc pathfinding and ai as well.

as a designer it's also important to keep playing lots and lots of games, especially bad ones, or good ones that made no money. and understanding why they were bad or didn't make money. but ofc understanding why other games are good is also important. for art go on art station and have a look around for inspiration. for programming: find youtube channels like sebastian lague and bennybox and thinmatrix and threeblueonebrown and join some of their discord servers. there are always fellow programmers willing to help learning people
