Are you taking the day off from game makin' for Christmas, Anon? You are making a game, right?
>>321406936
Still in planning stage.
I'm fleshing out the world for now.
I do have an idea of how it will play, though.
>>321406936
Reminder that the indie game craze is over and the market is over-saturated thanks to Greenlight
>>321407281
You can still make money if you have enough money from the get-go to make a convincing demo for a Kickstarter campaign.
>>321407180
pretty much at the same stage as this guy.
I will most likely be working on Tribes RPG later today, there's a client update coming in just a few days.
>>321407391
How long before the Kickstarter goes up should you put the demo up?
>>321407462
Whatchu plannan to make, anon?
No game satisfies me lately. I want to make my own power fantasy games with land conquering and rape
>>321407832
Sengoku Rance?
>any kind of game engine to try
>first one is always a porn
I apologize for nothing

Its kind of a mix between smash bros in the way of knocking your opponent off the sides and the top but also like Street Fighter in the way there isnt ledges and platforms and shit like smash. the more I think of it the more it sounds like sumo wrestling: the game. But I guess that Sumo wrestling with long combos would be cool to see.
Im pretty shit at drawing, but pic related is one of the keyframes for one of the characters jabs.
I plan on refining it, it looks really bad IMO.
I'm learning to use AGS and I think I'm getting the idea. Good thing I got wacom tablet for christmas so now my art is going to be extra crisp, I have drawn for all my life but there's no way in hell I'm going to hand draw everything and scan that shit.
If my game is good enough I might try to sell it on steam for couple of buckaroos, otherwise it's going to be a little fun freebie indie game for all to enjoy.
It's going to be something like Monkey Island 3 with my kind of humor, original music, and voice acting.
>>321408729
I just noticed how obvious the MS paint is.
Yes I used MS paint, I havent yet gotten any other drawing software on this new computer.
>>321408829
looks fine bro, and if youre looking for an upgrade to paint get paint.net
>>321408729
>Its kind of a mix between smash bros in the way of knocking your opponent off the sides and the top but also like Street Fighter in the way there isnt ledges and platforms and shit like smash.
Smash with Walkoff stages?
>>321409008
Thanks for the advice man. I appreciate it.
I'm making a dungeon crawler with "quirky" humor to appeal to the reddit/tumblr audience. I'm coding the demo myself just by looking up tutorials on how to do certain things and then I'm just paying some guys to do the art/music. I'll release the demo a month ahead of the Kickstarter and spend that entire month doing nothing but shilling it online. That way when the Kickstarter is up we already have people lined up to pay.I refuse to be a wakecuck.
>>321409012
I guess, but with a less percentage based knockback system, so it takes more to get the opponent offstage.
Pic Related is another Character I have planned.
yes. most of the work right now is simply writing because i want the game to function as a tabletop setting before using it in my game.
>>321408787
don't bother with voice acting, especially if you're not using professional voice actors.
>>321409325
Well good luck with it, man.
Make sure to make it so combos are possible.
>>321406936
Of course it's the holidays so I finally have time to actually work on something. At the moment I'm working on a farm system. Features at the moment are custom seeds to plant, being able to move the plant location, time it takes to grow, to harvest and to carry.
Features I want to add at the moment are a water system, where the ground below will have a water value that will be detracted by the plants so that by overpopulating an area with plants you can dry out the land. The water value will be replenished by rain and nearby masses of water.
I also want to add so that the size of the farm can change, at the moment it only supports 3x3 but I want to be able to support up to 20x20 areas.
>>321409517
Rightmost cube is mai waifu
Yeah I'm making a game. It's a less shit version of the multiplayer from pic related, which had a lot of potential. Basically, there's a team of ghosts, and a team of humans. The ghosts have to possess the humans and get them to kill themselves by walking them into various death traps placed around the stage. The humans have ghost hunting gear. The original mode has balancing issues, bad maps, no online, etc but it's pretty fun so me and a friend are remaking it in UE4
>>321407281
>doing it for the money
>not doing it because you want to make a game
I haven't worked on mine in a long-ass time.
>>321406936
I make wads for doom every now and then
>Game maker
Might aswell play mario maker lmao
>>321407281
Joke's on you, I'm doing it because I just wanna make a game.
>>321409997
I'm doing it for money.
eye am the cyclops yamabiko of videogame eyedeas
what are your video game eyedeas?
>>321410236
your game will be shit then
>>321410472
There is a videogame.
You play it.
>>321410510
I'm making an alright game and using the art and music I commission to turn it into a great game.
Just started working on this again
Not gonna post anything about the gameplay becauseI don't have anything to show off for now
Using some random sprites and tilesets for everything until I decide on the settingI like Unity more than gamemaker and some things I want to do with the game aren't possible in gamemaker from what I know
Wish me luck, anons
What are some good tutorials for Unity? I have a bunch of subscribed channels but its a bit hard to tell if they're any decent based off skimming through their vids. Thanks.
>>321409997
>doing it for the money
Not the anon you replied to, but I hope to eventually do it as my sole source of income. I've grown to hate my current job (manual trade for over 13 years/wrong turn in life, etc.) and am willing to sacrifice all my off-time into my game. That said, I'm at the character modeling stage.
I have so many ideas for a games that I don't know where to start
>>321407281
It's still possible to potentially release a game that could get popular. Just because the market is oversaturated, doesnt mean nothing will get noticed.
>>321410143
Undertale is made in Game Maker and it's making millions.why live
>>321409085
or download/torrent paint.sai
>>321411902
The market is oversaturated with shitty-looking games. Which means a game with good presentation and a demo like this:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/discordgames/chasm/description
Can easy get funded.
>>321412202
Games like this will also get more press coverage because they give the impression they are made by professionals.
I'm coding a mobile game with a group of 4 others for a client who's letting us use his brand. 2 other members are doing actual work, while the other 2 do fuck all and try to make it sound like they're doing a lot. For exmaple, us three talk about actual mechanics and design elements, and every now and then this faggot cuts in with an edgy one liner to sum it all up like "Hmm... We seem to be making good progress I see". This is a guy who actively practice's his Naruto movements in public. God fucking help us.
>>321411901
Start with the most simple.
It's going alright.
>>321412445
>This is a guy who actively practice's his Naruto movements in public.
In what hellhole are you working?
some animal swapping
>>321412865
I'm not sure I understand how this works.
Is anyone developing something with Sword of the Moonlight?
>>321413341
With what now
>>321412165
looks like shit
>>321406936
I just finished running a game jam for AGDG. Taking a break for a little bit over the holidays.
>>321412776
We did agame dev courseand everyone but three of us are attention seeking socially inept autistic retards.
>>321412983
you can switch bodies with an animal if you touch it. then you take control of it and your previous body reverts back to AI (or dead)
and each animal has it's own abilities and stats. in the webm, you can see that turtles can go underwater. rabbits will get hurt if they try
>>321415358
>did a game dev course
that makes you an inept autistic retard
>>321406936
After finishing my Jam game I'm taking a break from my game to learns some more stuff.
So I'm back to following tutorials, mainly on map generation and related algorithms.
I'll never understand why people take game design courses.
You can learn all that shit yourself much faster and probably more efficiently
>>321412613
Looks awesome.
>>321416578
T-thanks
>>321412613
Looks really smooth andfun
Is it going to be a platformer or are you including some fighting/RPG/etc elements, too, maybe
![ninja_gaiden_2_japan_cover_by_myroboto-d4l6efm[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7leoXLH.jpg "ninja_gaiden_2_japan_cover_by_myroboto-d4l6efm[1].jpg")
>>321417651
It's my first solo project so I'm keeping it mostly simple.
I'm taking inspiration from old action games like Strider, Ninja Gaiden, Genocide 2, Shinobi, Chakan and all sorts of shit.
Just a fast paced action game with a small moveset to help with platforming while also remaining offensive.
>>321418552
For a first solo project, simple is the best
And what you have so far is more than enough to make a game as it is, in my opinion, so good luck with expanding on it
>>321412613
the movement looks pretty solid so far. looking forward to see enemy and level designs
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/MbzQGHp.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
>>321418761
Yeah, there really isn't much more I want to expand on. The rest is going to come down to designing enemies and level layouts.
I'm just fine tuning it now. There's like one or two moves I want to do but that's about it.
My main problem is collision detection. Sometimes my character will just outright refuse to grapple.I'm using Construct 2. My friend tells me its collision detection is shitI'm pretty stupid. I can't even figure out Game Maker.
>>321413597
From Software released a Dev Kit for their King's Field games called Sword of the Moonlight. Check it out, there are some neat games.
>>321419276I feel you, I gave up on GameMaker because I dislike it but I'm working in Unity on a2D turn based RPG
I can only wish you luck, anon

It's still buggy but I've been squashing them as I learn C2 some more.
WASD to move, Up Arrow to jump.
Down + Jump to slide.
Wall Jump is somewhat similar to Mega Man X, except you can't climb the same wall
Grapple a ceiling by holding up. Not guaranteed to work all the time. Sorry.
For some sweet moon walking, slide and then immediately press the opposite direction and jump
![102738_front[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ZwkDcWu.jpg "102738_front[1].jpg")
>>321419934
Also, I apologize for the key mappings for anyone not on a QWERT
I prefer movement on the left. Implementing custom key mappings is probably next on my list since it's one of my vidya pet peeves if games don't have them.
>>321419909
>using unity for a 2D TBRPG
I thought GMS was better for that.Which is why I'm using it to make a 2D tales-like game
>>321409853
Wish there was a less shit version of Geist in general. Talk about wasted potential.
>>321419934
The gameplay feels great
Also managed to find a bug fairly easily, you might want to try and work this one out
If you jump while sliding, you can get stuck in these walls here
>>321420221
I just really dislike using GameMaker and I know C#
I know it's not the most optimal way to goGood luck with your game
I am indeed taking the day off. I should spent an hour, 2 hours top on the internet today. Boxing Day is when I start getting back into the rhythm of gamedev.
I set up an array/class like system for ansi c for my game
I did that instead of trying to figure out how to make entities work with lua
>>321420495
I forgot about that. Thanks.
I forgot to disable jumps if there's an object above you while sliding. I'll take care of that when I get home.
I update that page constantly too so I'm always adding new stuff or fixing bugs (or adding new ones).
>>321419934
>http://fightanvidya.com/dump/ShitGame/
Wall jumping is extremely clunky
Got basic networking to work in GMS today. I feel like a fucking magician connecting clients together, feels great.
>>321420708
No problem, as I said, looking great so far.
Do you have some kind of homepage or a codename/finished title for the game
I'd love to play this in the future and at least provide some feedback if possible
This is from the map "Avenue". has a subway area under the main street, and a bank and parking garage
Ignore the projectile spawn location and lack of collision/. Im working on models now . this gun will have a secondary function that is more like a burst/fan spray
>>321420980
looks cool. keep up
I want to make a cutesy 100 player cap mmo that's 2D and with 1000 floors of enemies. Each floor consisting of 10 stages that can be traveled to each. Could I do this with gamemaker? Or something else?
Sup /agdg/
Reposting a question: is it possible to make framerate and game speed independant in Game Maker?
>>321420856
Not the first time I heard it. Care to go into details? Is it a design issue or a technical issue?
>>321420917
No homepage. I only post on here and sometimes onTumblr, but mostly here.

Thanks, man.
I really oughta learn C#, that book has been sitting on my shelf for a few years now.
All I know so far is C, Java, Python and MATLAB if that counts.
>>321422390
All I know is C# and I'm too lazy to learn anything other than that
>>321422835
Python is so simple it might as well be called Babby's first programming language.
It's also widely spread, so I'd advise you to learn it.
Java is, well, Java.
I hate it with a passion but you gotta know it.
C is simple as fuck if you already learned C#.
MATLAB is mostly used for easy graphs, control simulation and machine learning, so it wouldn't be worth it for you.
>>321423282
I might get to learning Python but I don't think I have any use for it, at least for now
Thanks for the advice, anon
>>321423589
Watch some videos on YouTube or take some courses on coursera, they have Python courses all year long for free.
You don't get a certificate but at least you learn.

Doing an Undertale mockup/mod? in GMS, in last three days reworked timelines for attacks to pass dimensions of area with implemented handling multiple sources, and handling a useless case when there's different dimensions called on the same turn with a nice zoom effect, changed walls to actually handle different sizes, fixed hitbox movement in regards to walls, and automated changing rooms for walking which will make shit much easier when/ifI finally get my ass up to do more than proof of work consisting of two rooms.
