Fighting With Godot — (Making A Video Game — Part III — “Augmented Reality Test”)
After initial experimentation with Godot 4.0, it seemed as if the “Hedging” game could be created with the open source software. However, there is one feature that makes this project particularly challenging — Augmented Reality.
AR is the main reason for choosing to make an adorable farming game. The vision is that this game could be played in the backyard, or at least across flat surfaces within the home. That feature makes the game extra special, which is is critical in standing out in the ultra saturated gaming market.
That's why this video looks at the implementation of this next-generation feature of gaming. Can “Hedging” be played in AR? To determine the feasibility of the game's design, a simple task is presented in this video. Can a virtual tree be planted in a real backyard? That is the basic gameplay of the game.
