COGITO presence at Reboot Develop Blue 2024

[Phazorknight]

Hey everyone,
I'm going to be at the Reboot Develop Blue Conference in Dubrovnik end of April.

I'll be mostly presenting my in-development game, but will also show Cogito to anyone interested.
So I wanted to ask y'all:

How did you find Cogito? and what made you interested in using it/improving it?
I'd love to hear more about what people are looking for in the Godot Dev scene and/or how
Cogito helps people out.

This helps me present Cogito better to other devs.

On a related note: Next week till about May 1st, I won't be as active here / with the development of Cogito as I'll be travelling / on the conference. Answers to questions, feedback, PR reviews and so on will be delayed during this time. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Sorry I didn't get to answering you sooner.

How did you find Cogito?

COGITO was kind of hard to find, but eventually I found a video on youtube from PhazorKnight showcasing features.

What made you interested in using it/improving it?

It saves time in my development to use prebuilt systems instead of making so many things from scratch. Why reinvent the wheel?
By contributing I encourage others to also contribute, and this means I get to use even more bug fixes, improvements, and features, that I didn't have to do myself.

what people are looking for in the Godot Dev scene

I really want modular systems I can couple together. Cogito fits the bill and is being updated to decouple things even more.

I noticed that YouTube actually drives quite a bit of traffic over here. Once I'm back I'm planning to make more video tutorials that will also have the effect of spreading the word.

Have fun !

I searched on github for a godot template and Cogito was the most recent updated that already had many good things included 😅

I wish we have a bigger true game ready solid asset lib, since the unity incident it is growing fast and got this year its first (very cute) 3D Chars. 👍

Also we need basic things in a game engine that you would expect, so godot users/devs need a Template like Cogito that already solved at first common issues (e.g. gun clipping) and second brings features like interaction, health, stamina, etc, that you can hook into / expand further or build onto :>

How did you find Cogito? and what made you interested in using it/improving it?

Discovered Cogito via YouTube recommendations a week ago while I was in initial stages of working on very similar systems. Decided to give it a try, and now I'm looking for ways to improve it while getting more familiar with the codebase.

I'd love to hear more about what people are looking for in the Godot Dev scene and/or how
Cogito helps people out.

One great thing about Cogito for people working on a game with similar systems, is that they can get started on their prototype immediately, and participate in the development of the core systems if they find areas of improvement, thus benefiting future projects as well.

Hey everyone, I returned from Reboot Develop Blue 2024 yesterday. Had a great time chatting to developers and game dev people.
I got the impression that a lot of devs want to at least dabble with Godot. Having templates or projects available that shows off what kind of games can be made (and how to make these) is very valuable for this and quite a few Unity devs also asked me a little bit about how COGITO is set up etc.

Also had the chance to show COGITO to Emi from the Godot Foundation and chat a bit, so that was very nice as well.
