Where is your game you piece of shit?
It's being released on the 21st of December.
I have no confidence in my abilities, and am currently stagnating.
Still in development, and is actually due in 5 days with expected results.
It is on Kickstarter. for the low low price of $25 you can get a thank you note written by my pet squirrel. For the even lower price of $79.95, you can get a perma-early access copy of my game featuring twitter meltdown about how gamers are all entitled babies!
I fixed one bug today
Then I went back to 4chan
it's already on steam go get it you queer
>>320094724
Well, where is it faggot?
unity character controller is annoying to use in 2D
Is unity any good for third person 3D games? good as in easy to set up atleast.
I just started today
I'm keeping it extremely simple. Complexity is what sequels are for.
I hope I get farI won't
Can't decide which game to make, each one has different kind of opportunities. I'm fucking sick of just doing game jams, I want to make something relatively big.
>>320096696
What games are on your mind anon?
>>320097537
I have many more, but I'll try to explain the ones I'm the most hesitated to make as short as I can.
>a game with NES graphics (actual NES limitations and graphics; no rotating pixels, no million colors or typical indie bullshit)
>spacemen picking stuff and throwing it to enemies to earn points and proceed to the next level
>stages feel like a mixture of Bomberman/Pac-Man
I already got the 60% of it done, but didn't get any attention, mostly because it was from a jam. I concepted the characters for like, literally 2 years. I'm trying to make it as accurate as if the game was made in the '82 but still stand as an original thing of its own (AKA no references from other games or shit from the 80's). If people like it I would like to make a SNES-like sequel. The problem is that its demographic is retardedly low.

>you're the sidekick of a hero
>the game is a drag-n-droppy mobile game where you have to find stuff from a stash to give it to the hero
>gameplay is really simple, yet can get very difficult
Mechanic is already done, but needs more thinking plot and stage-wise. I think this could be a good move to test the waters of the mobile market, since this is one of the easier games to make.
>imagine Boost 2 but with action RPG elements and pseudo bullet hell
>game is set on a prison (you need to escape)
>each stage introduces a new enemy as a boss, then it becomes a normal enemy
This is the game I've already tought EVERYTHING and I already know how I want everything to be. Focused on mobile but can be ported to PC and even consoles easily. This one could take about one year to produce.
>>320093897
>unity
I'm just an ideas guy, me piece of shit.
>>320098697

Castlevania 3?

Currently finishing up a shitty rhythm game in a shitty engine required by my class for our first project. Going to start on a fighting game in January in Unity.
who /math/ here?
I have a circle that I know the center coord and radius of. I also know a position (let's call it A) on the circumference of the circle
I want to move an object at A 'x' units along the circumference of the circle, to a new position B
Is there an easy formula for this?
I'm working on a 2D pixel platformer in GameMaker because I'm original like that. I want to have a demo done soon and hopefully it won't be long until the whole thing's done because I've been working on it forfuckingever because college is keeping me busy (and I'm a bit of a lazy fucker)
After I'm done with it I'd like to move onto a top down hack-n-slash type game that would be part of a collaboration with a friend of mine.
Making good progress on my monkey ball clone

>After I'm done with it I'd like to move onto a top down hack-n-slash type game that would be part of a collaboration with a friend of mine.
Can I offer some advice?
Play Beyond Oasis for the SEGA Genesis. Read up on some of the knife moves.
>>320100495
Looks interesting, I'll have to give it a try sometime. I haven't even finished Terranigma yet, though.
>>320101131
Terranigma is a must play so finish that
Beyond Oasis is criminally overlooked by even SEGA fans. It's made by the same team that made Streets of Rage so you can imagine some of the neat stuff they did in terms of combat.
Not all of it was executed well but it should give you an idea of how to spice up the combat system in your game so that isn't just mash a to win.
are you an eyedeas guy /v/?
It's being released 2 or 10 years after I learn how to program in C#.
I procrastinate a lot. It's why 95% of my projects never get finished/released.
>>320093897
It's coming but I can't sprite with a mouse so I'm waiting on a tablet.
I'm making a game like commandos in gamemaker. No gameplay yet though.
>>320101302
Sounds nice, thanks for the recommendation.
It'll probably have more RPG elements but some action can definitely help it from being a tedious grind fest.
>>320101707
There's some RPG elements in Beyond Oasis too. You can level up Ali's stats and strengthen up the partners he can summons. It's a short game so you should be able to blast through it.
Another good hack and slash game you can check out for inspiration is Crusader of Centy, also on the SEGA Genesis.
>>320101665
I loved Commandos. God speed anon.
>>320102326
Neat. I only ever played platformers on the Genesis so I guess I missed out on a few things.
>>320093991
Well, Anon, what's the name?
>>320096668
Well, if you add in something important everyday, you'll have a decent game in no time.
currently learning to 3D model, while my brother learns how to use Unreal
i don't have much experience with 3D but i know how to draw
he doesn't know how to code but he's a math major
those will help out right?
I want to make a fun 2D game but I dont know what to make. Once I have enough experience working with unity I'll think about doing some 3D shit but for now I wanna take it slow.
>>320103119
not really but since he's a math major, programming might be not mind numbing for him.
>>320103119
both of those things will be useful to an extent, maths particularly if you want to do complex math smart things
The best thing you can do with your drawing skill is to draw front/side/top views for whatever model you want to make
>>320093897
Shut up, leave me alone so that I can wallow in my self pity!
>>320100283
>>320102758
Oh, and just so I have some progress to show here's a thing I was just working on spriting.
>>320102758
A lot of Genesis games got drowned in the Sonic marketing.
>>320103119
>he doesn't know how to code but he's a math major
those will help out right?
Being good at one doesn't necessarily imply you're good at the other, but there's a lot of overlap between the two in terms of applying logic to problem solving.
>>320103558
that's what i'm thinking. i mean i have no experience with 3D modeling, but i understand basic construction, proportions, and perspective. and the more i learn it seems easy enough, for at least what i intend to make
>>320102386
Thanks man, I hope I can create something worthwhile. Have a webm of me doing anything but adding gameplay to my game.

That's a HUD thread on /vr/ if you guys need any ideas.
I've been browsing it to see what I can steal.
>>320100041
You mean like x=x0+r*cos(angle)?
>had a great idea

Jesus Christ /v/ I am still working on my VR Action RPG. Thanks for asking asshole!
>>320105981
Needs to move forward a little bit more.
I wanted to try making a fire emblem clone since I noticed the lack of any decent turn based tactics game on steam. But now that I think about it, is that something people would even want?
>>320093897
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=551525979
It's going great. Currently working on cutscenes. The game is otherwise near-complete. The cutscenes are entirely hand-drawn and voiced, so they're taking more time than I anticipated. A few are done so far.
I spent a solid amount of time on this single still, and it's only getting a few seconds of screentime, or zero if you skip the scene entirely! The game is otherwise an FPS about changing the direction of gravity constantly, with the whole thing structured like an old collectathon platformer. It's a strange game, but I don't care. It's the one I wanted to make for a long time.
>>320098846
this guy again.
>>320106098
Do you mean my Knight during the stab attack? Or the games development status in general? Both are [WIP]. I want the player to stand still during sword swings (besides special attacks) so combat with Enemies is more engaging with decisions if you want to block, dodge, or attack (with 5 attacks you can do with each weapon)
I am a useless piece of shit that keep procrastinating
>>320093897
On hold until i fix character shaders and designs.
It´s a solo project, so i better not get too demanding.
>>320106465
The animation.
You can have him stand in the same spot, but there's barely any motion to his stab so it just looks weak. He leans back slightly and then just slightly moves forward. His arm doesn't seem to be doing much either. There's no weight to it.
I'd rig up an animation example but I'm about to head to bed. All I can offer is some shit I quickly googled. Maybe it can give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
Because I am fucking retarded and cant program for shit. My dream of a new front mission esque game will never come to fruit
I'm working on it but I'm shit at modeling and illustration, that's taking by far the longest to learn.
>>320106869
I will keep that in mind thanks Anon! I'm thinking about having the player launch forward (like the blue magic during the stab rockets the player forward a bit).
Here is an environment iv been working on! Started on it about 2 hours ago, but its the opening small town for the game, before the player tackles the first temple. Looking around with an Oculus Rift and leaning in and out with body/positional tracking in VR is awesome.
>went back to my game a couple of days ago
>decided to rework how I spawn my terrain
>make a square grid of land lots with a for loop inside another for loop
>the same thing I used for another game
>for some reason Unity freezes when I hit play
I
I just don't get it.
>tfw decent at programming but shit at art and audio
>>320108342
Audio is pretty easy to learn the basics of. You can learn to make placeholder music at the very least.
Drawing is probably the most difficult
>>320108342
Make a majority of your game with place holders or assets from other games.
Shop it to competent artist later.
>>320108179
>for loop inside another for loop
>Unity freezes
I've never seen Unity freeze
Did you accidently make an infinite loop? Check your for loops
>>320108179
>>320108636
This, make sure you check them. Most common issue of this I found is that your inner loop is using the variables from the outer loop (i.e you forgot to replace the i's with j's)
>>320108179
Learn to use a debugger. Just set a break point at the for loop and take a look at what's happening.
>>320108685
>>320108636
Actually now that you mention it, I did fix that. Yeah, I remember I used x++ in the inner loop instead of y++.
I completely forgot.
Well, I'll go back to it today and see why I left it alone.
I'm still working, no worries.
Although I'm still stuck trying to figure out how to make the reapers that you can choose as your Protags look beyond their basic categories of "Older brother, younger brother, older sister, younger sister"
Kinda want to go for a bit of Loligoth for the younger girl choice, though.
>>320109173
Gameplay WHEN
You've been posting moths ago saying you were going to remake the game in another engine. Where is it?
>>320109173
CUTE GHOST
>>320093897
Fuck you. It's coming.
>>320093897
Would you pay $19.99 for my game, anon-kun?
It has dinosaurs in it.
>>320109328
>mixels
no
>>320109238
Nigga modeling is fucking hard.
That comes first, gameplay second.
>>320109247
Thanks man
>>320109373
Say that to my face fucker and not online and see what happens.
>>320096469
3rd person is cancer.
1st person shits on all genres
>>320109375
Weren't you going to use RPGmaker or Gamemaker and make a lite version?
Also
>what are placeholders?
>>320109375
>Nigga modeling is fucking hard.
>That comes first, gameplay second.
>>320109431
Did you steal that from Google Chromes 404 screen?
>>320109439
>customize your character
>nothing changes
>can't see your feet
No thanks.
>>320109495
That dinosaur there is actually part of a hidden game you cam play when you 404 in Chrome.
I remade the game as training to improve my skills.
>>320109447
I'm still working on Haunted Mansion, yeah, but I mucked around a bit and decided that I want to change the way the mapping works.
Before I had it simple top down stuff.
I kind of want to change it to castlevania-y side scrolling while one the field.
>>320109645
So you're never going to make a game. Okay, good to know.
>>320105981
>>320106465
>>320107543
Fuckin looks good anon keep it up, shit would be a cash mobile game
>>320109692
Wow anon, you're totally right.
I'll just scrap everything and kill myself because game creation takes a while and I'm shit at creative process!
>>320110131
No need to off yourself. Just pick another hobby because obviously gamedev is not for you.
>change engine every time
>change genre
>modeling comes before gameplay
>keep posting artwork and no gameplay in months
>90% of the info about the game are story/setting related and not gameplay related
I mean, I don't want to bully, but come on.
>>320110274
Genre isn't changed you nancy. I want to make it side-scrolling while on the field for the Lite version is all.
And the gameplay is "turn based RPG"
What the fuck new is there to bring to the table?
Each of the spooks has their own gimmick, from Tokugiest's stances to the skelleton's entire movelist changing depending on what instrument you slap him with, to the Reaper's timed hits.
You can't really change the formula beyond adding shit like that, and that's entirely figured out as is. But turn based RPGs don't gain interest because of battle mechanics, they gain it from the art and story.
I run a recording studio and I've always wanted to make a rhythm game where activating a score multiplier adds more elements to the music so the higher your score the more badass the track... but me not know bout programming.
Should I just give away my game for free and hope people like my work enough for donations or have it at some low cheap ass price from $1-$5.
I ain't expecting this to replace my day job or some gay shit, but some type of return for the work I put into it would be nice.
I think the monetary subject would be nice to discuss among you lot and your own personal projects.
What are you expecting? Or are you just doing it for free?
>>320110835
Do what I'm doing.
Make the game free but have a donation jar.
>>320110835
I do it FOR FUN_
Of course if somebody else plays it and likes it it would make it better.
>>320110835
or price it at like 1.99 on steam
better yet, include steam trading cards just throw together some art for them
then your game will sell
>>320109848
Thanks anon. Not sure what you mean by Mobile game unless you mean the Oculus GEAR VR, since Dream Knights is made for PC non VR and PC Oculus rift VR. I think if you mean mobile devices by themselves and not VR the touch controls would be gross.
I do have a mobile game side project in the works that is for both the GEAR VR and non-VR mobile devices that is a puzzle game called Bokube. You play as a Bunny cube that has to solve 250+ puzzle levels.
Currently working on the plot for my vidya. Why the fuck do I punish myself with a branching storyline? I currently have the camera and environment scripts set up (walls/objects fade out similar to Diablo if the player is blocked by them), so story and assets are next, then comes the actual putting it together and testing.If all goes to plan, I'd like to have a demo available before June.
>>320110572
I think the main reason people like the SMT games is the great battle mechanics, althogh the art and story also play a big role.
>>320112252
What program is that?
>>320112265
>press turn
>great mechanics
Nigga they just make the game easier.
Strange journey is regarded as one of the bests by people who played it for a reason.
Would people like the older girl reaper to be a sporty redhead with her hair up? Or should I go for a more sexy approach with her?
>get idea
>want to make it
>start making it
>get stuck

It's pretty much Microsoft Visio online. I needed something to make massive flowcharts that was easy as fuck to use and sure enough this fit the bill perfectly. I've pretty much just used text boxes and assigned a fill colour to them to get what you see. Make sure that you tie whatever you use it for to a Google drive account. I lost a good hour and a half of work yesterday when Firefox threw a shitfit and crashed.

What should I do to level up? Not fussed about language or engine, I just wanna become competent.
>>320112960
Just go do a shitload of Unity tutorials. Coding in Unity C# is a fucking joke. I picked up that shit after a few weeks of casual attempts at their stuff. Google "unity <what you're trying to do>" and chances are you'll find someone else who has done the same thing and asked for help. There are loads of code snippets that I've copied and modified to fit what I'm doing.
Comment everything you do to explain it and you'll learn what things do easily enough.
I made this.

Where do you fuckers go for 2D animation? Do you use a dedicated program for this, or just the app inside Unity that lets you key frames and shit.
I finished laying out the game, interconnectivity, random generated dungeons and pathfinding AI in less than 500 clock cycles and the artists in the team have no idea how to animate anything, so I was wondering where do you usually start?
How difficult is it in terms of timeframes?
>>320114105
Armstrong outfit DLC when?
>>320093897
>tfw you have ideas you think are great but know you don't have the talent nor skill to properly execute them
>>320114194
The higher-ups really like Armstrong and I can assure you that he'll make a few cameo appearances in the new pachinko machines coming out next year.
>>320114473
>idea guy....
>>320114473
Write them down. Once they're written down start working on simple as fuck art. Get better at art and eventually move onto programming. By the time you're 60 you might have enough talent and skill to make a game.
