What an entrance! I started by making a ship building game yesterday, of course it was overscoped and I burned out like 10 hours ago, then I ate lunch and rested a while and came up with this little game, it is simple to make thanks to Godot's recent IK update but the rigidbody lowkey bugs and I had to do a lot to make it happen good night everybody~ 😴
Quick science lecture! If you really don't know this old tech, here's a random video I just found on youtube https://youtu.be/lwgKSHF6X1A?si=VOhKqaGo_BBGGCJp
Incandescent light bulbs are simply just resistors, which turns electricity into pure heat, when heat goes so high it emits light (almost like how fire works but slower).
It burns so they melt eventually, making them shorter and slimmer, a reconnection will however, lit it up again.
非常有意思的设计，开始在不知道需要做什么的时候确实有点茫然，但当发现摇晃它可以使灯丝以一种巧妙的平衡搭在另一头上时，又有种非常奇特的感受，看着灯光逐渐亮起照亮一切，不过最后它有些过于亮了，就像在近距离盯着一个真实的灯泡一样
peak gaming
@pankun 再等一会灯泡会因为太亮再次坏掉
This is cool but I was confused for a bit lol is there an end game? I was able to get the coil on but it just kept falling off
@n8tus there is a semi "end game" if the coil stayed still for a while
found myself reparing broken lightbulb for 15 minutes straight. Now thats an expirience! Still couldn't get it to work properly, but I think I'll keep trying.
I always preferred that warm orange glow from this type of lightbulb, modern ones just don't hit the same :'(
@alexey-kuzovkov haha I actually downs the difficulty everytime you connected, maybe next time try release the mouse after swaying and wait a bit
@indigowolf so true, the old ones generate not only light but also a nice warm heatwave, that experience had long gone... People really should use warmer colored leds more, the cold ones feels depressed
haha, cool idea :) sadly it's so short to play!
this is such a tactile little idea, bringing a dead incandescent bulb back by physically swaying it and trying to balance the filament is weirdly satisfying. the moment the light slowly comes on is genuinely lovely, and the whole thing fits the old tech theme perfectly. how did you tune the filament motion so it feels fiddly but still fair? really nice experimental piece.
@perrarancino appreciated! About the motion, the filament is an ik bone, it tracks a invisibal rigidball, which is free to move inside a circle ( circle's center is the connected side of the filament). Basicly the ball gives it a random-ish end position and ik gives it the vivid reactions
God it scared me the first time it connected Really conceptual piece, nice job
I'm gonna go and buy you a new bulb...
this is some true old tech while I'm even more curious on what excatly is the newspaper about haha, kinda bring me back to some old days. Pretty short but works surprisingly good xD
