cute
is it a puzzle platformer or are you just testing out a minor mechanic?
that is actually cute and i also apprechiate the simple sprite work.
<--- can't draw anything that isn't a basic shape
puzzle game or not, be sure to shill it to fuck here
>>319451153
I want to make a game actually but I'm not sure how to even work with these programs. and like how do you get sprite animation into the game? or 3d stuff either.
I want to make an action platformer , similar to gunstar heroes. then a racing game. then a racing game with guns like lucky and wild.

Puzzle Metroidvania, and testing a minor mechanic
you visit planets, find animals and swap bodies with them. each animal has its own attributes and some have special moves. you have to guide them back to the planet's teleporter.
>>319453071
Start looking at tutorials.
I would personally recommend Unity, only because GameMaker is a fucking hassle to work when it gets more complex, but GameMaker is a lot easier to understand.
Building shit in Unity just for fun (even when you don't know exactly what you're doing).

I'm making a fighter with some /v/irgins, that's all I'm going to say
I have an idea for a game if anyone would hear me out if it's a good idea.
Concept is an RPG inside an RPG, where day to day you go through a persona esque game where you make social links and what not, and later you play an RPG and that affects that.

Musician here. Our game is making really slow progress but here is one short track: https://clyp.it/y31qb2wr
Retro game is what I can say for now.

Do you think that perhaps it could use some more/louder percussions?

Just started on an experiment few weeks ago. I'm trying to make a simple isometric game in haskell. Man shit feels like I'm getting my brain fucked fast and furious. Fucking monads and shit, functional reactive programming, category theory. I feel like a fucking pleb and this shit here is for the royalty.

>>319456045
Yeah you are right. But I make my sounds from the ground up and I can't make a nice percussion. Maybe I should just use presets and make it work somehow.

So are there libraries that people use or what? Because anything beyond Pong-tier collision detection was too much.
2D platform game physics question: include or exclude friction? That is, should the player stop on a dime after releasing the left or right input?
all I wanted to do was make a small tanks clone, that's all
why is GML so shitty?
>>319458819
you can easily stretch a small game in some cases
look at harvest moon
shrink it down and the content is pretty much nonexistent because the content is stretched throughout 4 seasons of a year
>>319458819
Like just get something super basic going if you don't have the experience. You can always expand it, if you have trouble expanding you can learn from that, since it means your design was bad.
>>319458956
Depends on the feel you want. Either way, if you decide one or the other, you'll need to incorporate the levels with it in mind.
A more important question to ask might be if letting go of left or right while in the air in the middle of a jump should stop all forward momentum, (eg Megaman), or keep you going but slower
>>319456609
Please stop attempting mental suicide, anon, we're here for you.
Think of your backlog.
I wanted to do a westernized VC clone, never had the courage to make it real.
>>319458956
Depends on the difficulty you are aiming for, but stop on a dime is good.
>>319458819
most indie games start out as really simple arcade games you know. They all have a core that they can be boiled down to.
Look at "GOTY Undertale" for instance. Made entirely in Gamemaker, and all it is, is a bullet hell where a stationary sprite avoids dots and stripes, with an rpg overlay.
make something that works, and is fun. Once you have that basic mechanic down, build your game on it.
im trying to git gud in blender
shit keeps coming out different from what i draw on paper
i can never get the shoulder part to look good
any tips?
>>319459523
>Scan the picture
>Set is as the background in Blender
>Trace it
>>319458927
Dude that's highschool level math and a bit of thinking.
>>319459523
yes, dummy head
Import your drawings anc concept art into blender, and put them into the front and side ortho views via properties. Look it up, it takes like a minute to do.
also, it'd be a good idea to have 2 3d windows open, one being side and the other being front. I like to set the second screen to render and have an environment light, because blender's smooth shading is ugly as fuck.
>>319459713
I can't deal with float imprecision.

Nooo man this is like legit fun for mr. But it's a bit worrying that you are not the first person to suggest that I am hurting myself by doing this lol.

i got used without the tracing thing because i just alt+tab a lot
what i meant by:
>shit keeps coming out different from what i draw on paper
is that i end up making more edges, vertices or lines than i expected
heres my shitty doodle
>>319458819
Start small and focus moral on refining mechanics and stuff first rather than trying to blow your load creating a massive game. I'm sorta in the same boat but I'm having trouble JUST learning how to program. I can't imagine trying to create a game larger in scale than what I'm capable of.
>>319460297
easy fix, just uninstall LoL, dota 2, CSGO, TF2, and pretty much any time wasting distraction until you finish something.

I want friction, just having trouble with round off I think because the player it failing to trigger slope collision detection and won't "snap" to the top of a slope properly. It works fine using ints.
Making my engine in C++ from scratch. Might show a WebM if I can fix the slope issue.

Well it's more of an experiment to try and understand fp and frp better and see how well it works for vidya compared to objective aproach. I mean shit like paralellism is super easy in haskell so there are definitely some advantages.
>>319460517
well, yeah. your drawing is full of complex face shapes. Remember, you're modeling with triangles after all.
just remember that what you're seeing is mostly blender's ugly smooth view. You can try setting the view to render or textured, and also you'll want to apply smooth to the model (or just the faces/edges/vertices you want smooth)
>>319460545
*focus more
>>319460517
oh, and another thing. When you finish the main mesh, you should subdivide smooth or multiresolution it to remove the hard edges.
>>319460560
>rm -rf 4chan.org
>>319458819
Finish the small game even if it sucks. Then start over and try to make the bigger one or something, I dunno, but finishing your games is important, no matter if it sucks or not.

>>319460796
>Remember, you're modeling with triangles after all.
that actually makes sense
im on this mindset that im working with squares and cubes
should i just put edges on any squares so they end up as triangles?
>>319459854
>>319459854
It's a videogame not a simulation, no need to be precise. Make shit up. You can get away with a ton of bullshit in vidya graphics often improving performance as a result. Like you can just use integers and control the imprecision much easier.
>>319461391
Can't you just attach rectangles and balls and shit and make something semihumanoid?
>>319461391
Just take a month or two grinding art skills
Villppu Drawing Manual, look up character design with basic shapes, etc
>>319461391
Find a buddy who can art and wants to do vidya but can't code.

But muh autism.
>>319461675
Also, make an artist friend and have them give you the harshest critique possible.

>>319461391
You can make nice looking things with just circles and basic shapes as long as you go for the stylistic route.
>>319461487
it's a good idea. If you have lots of complex, 5-6 vertex faces, you'll run into problems when you get to the part where you make it more hi-def.
>>319461391

>>319461876
im not looking for high def currently
im aiming around the middle for now to get used to textures and what not
its why im drafting with less expected faces so i can get around the uv mapping thing more easily
but high def is still a long term goal
ive been looking to see if i can be good enough to make hats for tf2 or dota
I'm making a game that is a weird mixture of rts and tower defense.In space

>le funny shocking filename
I want to make a coop sci-fi game where you and your teammates run a deep space research station. The game would actually be less about doing your job and more about surviving workplace related hazards like invisible aliens, out-of-phase co-workers, fire, and corporate sabotage in order to keep the station up and running as long as humanly possible. Kind of like a slimmed down SS13 that focuses more on the antagonists roles.
Just making art to get a feel for sci-fi stuff at the moment.
>>319449321
Me and my friend are going to make a cyberpunk citybuilder
>>319462349
Yes actually. There might be some more improvements you can make as you make more stuff, but it sounds good to me.
>>319463345
Why would you want to slim down SS13?
If somebody wants to contact me for music, you can find me here.

I want to make a Megaman X(PS1-era) like game. /v/ do you prefer low-poly or sprites?
>tfw can code but have absolutely zero artistic talent and can't make a texture or model to save me fucking life
I hope you guys enjoy games where everything is textureless cubes and spheres
My plan was to make an RPG where the battle style was a hybrid of sorts of MMBN and Undertale.
HoweverClickteam Fusionis not being co-operative when it comes to making RPG-style text boxes and inventories.
Here's some shitty concept art of an RNG based boss for a game I'll probably never make cause I'm an ideas guy and I'm gonna kill myself sooner than later
>>319463852
Well, most games die the second they include 3D and SS13 in the same sentence. Realistically, recreating all the features of SS13 in 3D is a massive undertaking. Construction alone would be a game worth of content. I can think of a few "3D SS13" games that died during that very phase of development. The same goes for the jobs in SS13. They are basically separate mini-games that represent a large amount of content that would take a substantial amount of time to convert well into a 3D equivalent. Would I love to do both construction and all the jobs? Fuck yea, but if I tried, I would fail, no question.
So I'm aiming small, in the best way I can think of: Focus on a few core jobs, a few types of antagonists, and some interesting environmental hazards.
I keep telling myself I've figured out a great way to share a large part of what makes SS13 so fun with my casual bros but when it comes down to it, I have a hard time explaining it and making it sound fun. I might be retarded.
I'm in the process of designing mechanics for a first person fighting game with wide open movement mechanics across all three axes, complex Quake-style stages, and pickups. Combine an arena shooter and a fighting game. I realize that I'll probably fail, but I feel strongly about it being a worthy experiment if I ever come up with an alpha.
>>319449321
First time I messed with Unity, I made a simple game with it since it was just the free version and async level loading was locked behind the pro version.
I come back and now all of the newer SceneManagement functions that let you load levels asynchronously and additively are available for free.
>>319463686
Awesome! Thanks but now I actually mixed it(I hope):
https://clyp.it/14zko5hw
I work on stuff here and there, never finished anything.
I'm working on a sidescrolling RPG right now I guess. Its been through a couple style changes though.
>>319466931
Looks great! I like how you draw the characters.
Do you have animations yet? Or are you doing the static sprites first?
>>319449321
Refu/vg/s pls go.
>>319466931
looks like a meme game in the making
keep at it
>>319467415
Static sprites first. And I probably won't do much more for a while since I really should get more mechanical stuffs worked out first.
One of my problems as a dev is that I like to visualize things from the get-go, but its horrible for making actual progress, because its draining.I like making sprites in my downtime at work, don't tell nobody.
>>319466725
It feels like the audio quality went down from the second version when you play them side by side. The one here https://clyp.it/ldvid4nh
I'll be honest, in all the time I've spent making musics, I never fully understood mixing or compression, so I don't know if I could say anything about how to make it sound better, but I wanted to point it out.
>not making a hentai rpg game with rpg maker.

Shiiet nigga, if I make a porn game it will probably just be one of those shitty text ones.

>coc 2.0 without the furry shit
Ill fund it.
>>319470034
What makes you think it won't have furry shit? I'm an equal opportunity degenerate.Though yeah no actual fursona crap or anything like that would make it into any hypothetical game I made, not only is it disgusting, it's creative bankruptcy.
Is it really helpful to learn C# and C++ if I want to make games in Unity or UE4? Should I learn C++ before C#?
>>319469791
The synths are better than the third one, but now the drums are washed out.
I am now reminded of a time where I literally stacked four drum samples on top of each other one time to make a kick drum for a song a long time ago. Oy vey.
Also, how are you going to handle the way the song will loop? It is going to loop with that pause in the middle?
I just learned how to make sprites appear on Unity! Soon I'll be the western ZUN.
>>319449321
I don't think I can do it friends, the thought of pouring all of my hear and soul into a project for months on end and having nobody find out about it is too much
I'm supposed to be but lately I can't decide what project I should be working on. Heart is in one but mind is in another.

>tfw can't fix it
Guess I probably have to rewrite my slope collision checking if I can't fix this.
>>319470932
I think it loops just fine as it is so I won't change that. I am not giving up though. I've changed something yet again so I hope it's better:
