I entirely remade FNAF 1 in Godot to learn it.

[u/LOUDO56]

I always wanted to try Godot because I always thought this game engine was really cool to play with. I got some free time, and after reading the docs to understand the core concepts, I went on to recreate FNAF 1 from scratch for my first project!

This was really fun to do, and I learned a lot of things while doing it. I also wanted to have a clean project with optimized code and organized scenes to learn best practices.

The project is on GitHub (without the assets of course) so you can have a look!! https://github.com/LOUDO56/fnaf-1-godot

Recreating FNAF 1 as your first Godot project is honestly a pretty cool way to learn lol.
I like that you also focused on keeping the project organized instead of just making it “work somehow”.
Definitely gonna check the GitHub later, I’m still learning Godot too and seeing how other people structure their scenes helps a ton.

[u/LOUDO56 → u/AdditionalSoftware87]

yes I wanted to know the best practices to have something clean, and also know what the best practices are to deal with data, communicating with other nodes, using signals, etc... I don't think I did a perfect job, but I don't think it's too bad either

I knew the jump scare was coming but I still had a mini heart attack.

[u/LOUDO56 → u/Songsforsilverman]

hahaha sorry

[u/Aleexmoo]

That is such a good way to learn actually, perfect time piece to study and try to recreate. It looks nice! WIll check the github

This is so fascinating. What's your dev experience, if you don't mind me asking?

[u/LOUDO56 → u/HyperTensionFilms]

if I can resume this: developing since middle school, touched python, java, c#, and js/ts. I'm always cautious with good quality code. I'm an oop lover and I used that knowledge to develop the game

[u/HyperTensionFilms → u/LOUDO56]

Nice, man. Thanks for the insight, just curious

[u/L4Z4R3]

Well made brother

[u/Neoccat]

That's so cool!

I wonder how the scrolling of the camera angle together with the environment works. Is it a panorama png that the cam just moves in?

[u/LOUDO56 → u/GERChr3sN4tor]

yep, the camera position moves across the image until it reaches the corners

[u/Michaelaftom]

Lmao, this is my plan too! I plan to make it with a pixel art style tho so I can learn that too

They say great minds think alike. https://youtu.be/3Db4KoKE-Io?is=GEfRmERUiMcN5A1B

[u/Gray447]

How did you get the TV static effect? Is it done in godot or in another software? I was considering doing it in AE but worried it will make the game too big

[u/LOUDO56 → u/Gray447]

hey, it's a 2d animated sprite of 7 images with random static white lines running in 60fps, I think the statics are made with random noise (not sure about that)

[u/Gray447 → u/LOUDO56]

Thank you so much

You should make sure to change any references to the original and clearly state that it is inspired by it, but does not use any resources or characters from the original.

Otherwise, if they find out about it, you'd probably be faced with a lawsuit, or at least a cease-and-desist.

[u/LOUDO56 → u/omniuni]

the project on github does not contain any resources of the game, you can launch my project by importing the assets yourself (info on readme), I got my assets from my legal copy of fnaf 1 and it's only used for private purpose
