I don't want to make a one man indie shitshow. I want to make a large game that competes with AAA titles. Like slavs do with small teams on a shoe string budget. How do they do it?

Unity is shit cant even handle more than 50000 game objects moving at once without dropping to 20 fps.
How should my economy-war-nation-simulation work with that shitty engine?!

Vodka and squatting
I have no idea how to transition from developing desktop apps (WPF MVVM) and web apps (ASP.NET MVC) to developing games. Since my most known language is C# (7 years) it seems Unity would be the go to SDK, but I've watched a few tutorials and left cringing at their content for various reasons...
Are there any good resources for learning Unity for people who are already programmers?
The other day I had a burst of inspiration to try starting to make a game and now it's gone. So the game's not coming along very well.
>>321260971
Just download the editor for free and get going.
Its not like its complicated or something. You can attach C# scripts to game objects and shit. Easy Peasy.

Yeah I felt the same way that's why I'm using mono games instead of unity 3d.

obligatory "How do I muster up the motivation to learn" post.But seriously, how? I'd like to do make a game and have a few ideas in mind but can never motivate myself to learn to code, or even use the simple tools. I just feel dead and uncaring. How do I light my fire?
I helped make a shoddy educational game as part of a uni project and that was taking up my time/attention. Now that I'm done I'm planning to start my own thing but I wanted to let myself relax for at least the first week of winter break.
>>321265098
Most code revolves around setting up defenitions and if, else, while. Anything else just requires logic and simple math.
Check out code academy, it's a free online coding seminar.

It's coming along slowly, but it's christmas now so I can work without having to worry about the job. So I expect some really good progress the coming days.

Here's a dumb question: how does UE4 handle 2D games? I'm not necessarily concerned if it's the "best" choice, just whether it will be adequate and not get in the way.
I ask because I'm kind of interested in learning UE4 (I have some experience with other engines already), but I'm not really feeling like doing a 3D game right now. If it handles 2D decently I might just start doing something with that just for the learning experience.

>>321258438
The game is done, after about a year in development. I may not have hit my deadline if not for these types of threads reminding me to work on it, so I put credit where credit is due.
The game is somewhat Christmas-themed, so I made the game "Pay what you want" until after Christmas is over. If you're interested you can download it now and try it out for yourself.

It's only a simple clone though. Nothing complicated.
Refining my wall jumping at the moment. Also gotta nerf the fuck out of slide.
Working on the pause menu right now. I have the shop menu mostly done, but I should probably completely redo its layout because I realize I don't have space for some bits of information.
>>321266046
I'm making a slightly different game then Banished where combat will be involved.
At the moment I'm working on a survival gameplay mod where you will attempt to survive, not only from your own incompetence but also enemies and quests that will attempt to strecth you tin. And the buildings won't have any randomness to their collecting, so you will always be able to plan too perfection.
But to avoid people finding "perfect" layouts builings will have a upgrade path and passive upgrades. So it will always depend on other circumstances.

Messed around with game maker a bit, been over a year since I last touched something, I've got a game design book I was suggested before but haven't finished yet.
What are people using now? Unity for putting it everywhere?
Anyone got any suggestions for jumping in? (Resources or something)
I'm looking to try my hand at a mobile game and want to fuck around and get comfortable in something I can transition to that in, almost exclusively plan to do 2D stuff.
>>321270037
In the survival mod there will be factions that will attempt to establish themselves and they will either be neutral, allies or enemies. And there will be an evil presence that will attack anyone
>>321268545
That's really cool anon, I once attempted to do something like that in 3D but gave up on it due to performance reasons.
>>321272541
Gamemaker studio is pretty solid for 2d shit now and you can buy all those export modules separately. Just follow some tutorials to get started check /agdg/ at /vg/.
Most people at /agdg/ just tell you to make remake old games in gamemaker like pong and shit.
these things, they take time.
I'd rather git gud than make some shit game in babby's first game making suite.
>>321272892
Ah, remaking actually sounds like a pretty good idea, lets me have something to work to until I can feel comfortable in fucking around all by myself to my own goal.

I want to make a Erotic VN. I can write decent lewd, and my art's coming along. It's the technical aspect that prevents me from starting right now.
All I need to figure out is a standard VN setup and a little platforming minigame feature.
I FUCKING HATE HANDLING PHYSICS. You write tons of code to handle every possible exception, and there's still hundreds of possible fuckup points. Will I be a faggot for using curves to stabilize this shit?
I've been distracted by fuckparty quotes and Baneposting.
how hard is it to make a game if i have no knowledge in computers whatsoever and studied philosophy?
also which is the easiest of these 3 programs?
>>321273984
Learn how computers handle math, take some free courses on coding and write some basic stuff. Start with either C++ or C#. GameMaker is pretty simple, but very limited. Unreal eats newbies on breakfast. Unity isn't that good, but friendly enough. Depending on how willing to learn you are, and if you're not one of those faggots who piss themselves when they hear the words "Calculate the X" and "Basic Function", in several months you should be able to make some simple logic game. And it will be quite satisfying to make.
>>321273984
>philosophy
You've probably learnt about ontology and OWL, and that's quite similar to object oriented programming.
>easiest

>>321275998
>Panel de Pon?
Similar. It's like Bejeweled with a full screen of gems, only you're able to swap gems positioned anywhere on the grid and set off chains of gems manually. The timer for each turn increases in speed the higher level you are, until the timer reaches a threshold and resets.
>>321275942
>Any tips/good resources for a newbie trying to make one of his own?
If you have Game Maker there's a series of video tutorials that starts here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mu3PQqbQBM
If you have Construct 2 you can start here with a series of text/image tutorials - http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/make-a-match-3-game-in-construct-2-the-basics--gamedev-8071
As for Unity I haven't used it in-depth but this helped me out, although you can still google "unity match 3 tutorial" if you're having trouble - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5jPdiwOKKQ
Any of these will let you create a Bejeweled-style game, which you can use as the base for your own style of puzzle game.

You go on menuclicking dates based on the guy's personality and interests and seduce the boys to have them generate love energy for your weapon so you can shoot other champions of lewdness and desire.
I'm using Unrealbecause it sounded cool, I know the basics of C++ so I hope picking that engine was a decent choice. I'm just starting out with a 2D platformer just to get to grips with this clusterfuck of a UI. Is Unreal considered a decent engine to start with or am I out of my depth?

Got some bad news for you anon.
I recently just found out how easy Game Maker is and came up with this plan:
>write game with earthbound-type humor and cutesy designs
>code intro and hub area with a little tutorial area with programmer art as placeholders
>use money saved up to hire pixel artist to make the game look pretty as well as make logos etc.
>hire musician known for making catchy tunes to create a few songs for the game so far as well
>code basic website with html skills
>find out how much it'll cost to get pixel art and music done for the whole game
>launch a Kickstarter asking for the combination of the two quotes plus barely enough to live for two years
>use family's viral marketing company to make the kickstarter known
>release what you have so far as a demo to increase credibility
>research what press sites usually cover pixelshit games of this nature and send them press kits
>then send press kits to the more mainstream ones
>slowly log onto the 10+ reddit accounts that i have been posting on for three months ahead of the kickstarter and use them to further market the game
>make sure to make rewards non-physical so i don't have to deal with that shit
>once kickstarter succeeds immediately pay out the pixel artist and sound guy to start on the stuff
>already have most shit coded from demo so all have to do is create the areas, cutscenes, and moves
>use family marketing company again when the game releases and rake in dosh

Literally just started today. I planned all my shit out on paper. Story, characters, setting etc. It's not all but a basic overview. Only thing is I know fuck all in how to start. What do I work on first? Character models or the world? Google gives me nothing. Also need to find a good tool to make said characters and setting with not to steep a learning curve. All I've found from Google is blender but I can't into it.

>what do I work on first
View, then Controller, then Model.
Work on your world World first. Character models will need to fit the world. Setting is decided by the world.
Then hash up a controller with stubs, (this would be where your setting comes in) and a basic model. (this is where your story comes in.) Build up both and you're done.
