Hows your game coming along?
>>324346665
Not well, since I've gotten a job I haven't had much time to work on it.
>>324346665
Cant start the game until I start getting art sorted
Art is fucking hard
>>324346665
Pretty good, I'm about to finish roughing out the basic movement animations for the main character. That's still only half of the total animations, but I just need to know more or less what it looks like in-game.
>>324347104
Just make some placeholder graphics and work from there. It's what I'm doing until I figure out what I am going to do about the art because I can't draw. Everything right now is a bunch of rectangles.
Pretty great.
I just need to dupe some artbro into making graphics for me
And I'm looking into tech for the upcoming /agdg/ jam

>>324349503
I have friends but they're completely disinterested in me so this should be easy.
I keep telling myself I'll pick my game back up but I just can't find the motivation anymore. Too big in scope for a first project probably.

>>324346665
We've been discussing for a long time what engine to use and devote our time too, we finally decided to use UE4 for mobile game development, most likely a 2D top down or sidescroller.
>>324356692
>Mobile
Sigh
>>324356307
Choosing to produce a game in proprietary software like game maker means that you accept that your project is essentialy held hostage by the company that makes the sfotware. You're accepting that you shouldn't have the right to be able to access the source code of your own game and the software that was used to compile it.
My Partner have Discussed making it for months and we have more Minibosses, Gods, Cultures,Lore, and Types of Magic than we have a grasp on the Introduction, the Skill Trees, and Gameplay. So yeah I'd be good for a secession of DnD than a game.
>>324355160
>>324355862
>shitposting in a proprietary board
>>324356902
It's not healthy to have that much planned out before you make a game. It's a possibility that when you start prototyping some of those ideas they'll feel bad. And you'll be throwing away a lot of work and time.
>>324356832
That's where the money is. You telling me you don't want to make thousands of burger bucks off of a bunch of drooling normie fucks and their iphones? For shame.

>>324357225
That's the beauty, anon. Develop on mobile first, get experience, use it as a money cow, then use that money to develop an actual game on PC.
>>324357374
Yes. Look it up.
>>324357093

>on mobile
you're about 4 years too late. Nobody is making serious money off mobile now unless they're either insanely lucky, or spending millions in user acquisition.
>>324357982

Its just numbers
>>324358289
It's never too late.
>>324356841
except I have the source code for my game, I wrote it. And I can access it at any time.
are you just retarded?
>>324356841
>sfotware
>>324358359
No, it really is in this case. only the top 0.1% of mobile games are making any significant money at all, and those are all well-established companies throwing tons of money into making sure they stay well-established and at the top of the appstore. You can't compete with Tencent, nigga.
I mean, if you honestly want to make a great game for the mobile platform, then go ahead. But don't think you can just shit out a flappy bird clone and roll in the dosh.
I figured out that you have to use the joystick controls to use a PS4 controller with game maker, for some reason. So I got that working, at least. Gonna make a shmup where you control two ships at once, one with each stick, and fire with the triggers.
>>324358659
That sounds hard as fuck
How do you shoot? Triggers?
Progress is slow but it's getting there.

>>324346665
I was meant to teach game maker to some high school kids last week
taught them unity instead, they actually learnt shit instead of drag and drop
>>324357386
Has good ideas but lacks and real concept of polish, the latter of which gamemaker is a significant contributing factor to
I made a ton of progress yesterday but now I'm at a point where I'm like "what do I do next?"
Does anyone else keep a schedule or plan out what they're going to do in the future or anything?
>>324365289
If I don't schedule work I usually slack off and can't make progress.
The one thing really keeping me back is art
How bad can a game look before it's actually considered a problem? It's taking me hours to make just simple sprites resembling SNES rpgs and I'm wondering if I should even downgrade from that to pure shit like 1-pixel wide noodle people
>>324365289
I write out a massive bigass list of every feature/level of the game, and then break each of those down into what needs to be done to accomplish those parts
Then all work is just a matter of chipping away at the big list
It's a very useful method for keeping an idea of the grand scale of everything that needs to be done, but it does require organisation
>think of kinda cool idea for a game world
>keep adding flavor details to the world and culture
>soon I have pages on pages of sperging about my fictional world and the species that live there
>have barely done any work on the actual game
>>324365380
You can use shit art to represent what you want while developing it, and actually draw it for real later.
Or you can just pull a Notch and leave it that way
>>324365380
>if I should even downgrade from that to pure shit like 1-pixel wide noodle people
whatever you do, not this
try designing your game in 1/2 or even 1/4 of its final resolution and then enlarge it
here's Crypt of the Necrodancer, it looks like it's 1920x1080 but it's actually drawn at a much more manageable 480x270 and enlarged 4x.
>>324365751
anon that's kind of inherently how pixel art works
>>324365879
I used to draw pixel art at 1920x1080
needless to say, I was in way over my head

>>324367247
Ooohhh what did you make this in?
List your programs
>>324367301
I think he just used Gamemaker studio
It's chugging along pretty well I think. It's a traditional JRPG along the lines of FFIV and FFVI where the characters have set classes. It takes place in a land where magic is highly frowned upon due to the misuse of it in the last great war. The protagonist is a rogue Mage with PTSD from the war who's only goal is to find out if his sister perished during said war.
Eventually things blow out of proportion as he's swept away into a rebellion against the tyranical king Achus.
>>324346665
I'm mad, I almost finished drawing a sprite and then I realized it was in the wrong resolution when I was about to add shades and shit.
Whats the best program to make a 2D game?

I dont know how to code 3 repetition and 5 one rules, 50 step and 75 ones on zillion of games and so the development of my chess variant stalled, and no I wont make the bullshit stuff game companies do and release a game without those rules.
>>324368453
Do you have to upsize it or downsize it?
how hard is gamemaker
>>324368745
Downsize it, I tried and it gets super deformed.
>>324368514
It's all about preference anon, but one of the following:
>Construct 2
>Game Maker
>LÖVE
>Unity
Ordered from easy to difficult, though I don't think everyone will agree with my order.
>>324368807
Not as bad as upsizing. Scaling it to exactly half of the current resolution should serve as a rough outline if you don't want it deformed.
>>324367247
very cute anon, you seem to have nailed how to give satisfying feedback on attacking things
>find us on reddit
a-anon...
>>324368795
Game maker is mostly about the logic - aka when A is down move left, when D is down move right, when the player collides with an enemy do this, etc etc
Then again all programming is like that, but GM lets you work in a very handholdy (albeit severely inefficient if you understand programming) way
>>324370030
Looking at the showcases It seems Game Maker is the most popular one

Pic related. Never quite got past testy test shit.
>>324372943
What about your first>
>>324373118
It was a platforming shooter. Nothing too special about it besides the horrifically huge amount of precision platforming.
The sprite work was terribly ugly, and it had no real story until I had just about finished it. I do like the fiction I built around it, though.
For some reason I drew the protagonist without pants, too. Pic related, her sprite.
>>324346665
Actually recently just got started. I've not even started to learn GameMaker yet, just downloaded it. I'm currently working on setting up a plan on how the finished game is going to look and what features it's going to have.
>>324373360
And an in-game screenshot to show off the wonderful graphics. So beautiful.

The engine software agreements are really only there for if/when you end up going commercial release. Most software comes with around a 25% cut on each sale, but this varies depending on a multitude of finance options and sales figures not to mention platform and region of release

Have you thought about adding a bit of inertia to the camera while in flying mode? I think it would make it a bit smoother.
>>324374439
I love the art. Do you have any more?
>>324374439
What did you use to make this fine Pixel art?
I was interested in making an undertail styled rpg based on the yurope novels but the other guys in my production team are bitches and think the game media would boycott us so they want to make a game based on memes instead' I will likely leave this group soon

>>324374842
photoshop and autism
>>324375481
Photoshop?
Really?
>>324375556
yea. use the pencil tool and change the interpolation settings bicubic to nearest neighbor so that when you rotate or scale the pixels don't get anti-aliased.
Also, in case you're not aware, there's a timeline window in photoshop for animating.
>>324375438
I think he means that the camera will lag behind/ahead of the flight
as in it has a speed related to the ship, but not the same
not sure if you've used it, but similar to the camera arm in unreal engine 4
It makes it a lot smoother because there's no sudden movements, it's all smoothed out
>>324375795
Ive been thinking about getting into some Pixel art animation, but never had the tools to do it
Do you draw the whole sprite as one image?
What size do you use?
I'd want it to be very fine and crisp
>>324376043
>what size do you use
depends on how large I want the pixels to look I guess
>Do you draw the whole sprite as one image?
yes but in some cases I need to separate some parts in other layers
>>324375438
>>324375970 explained pretty well. Basically the camera would take a small amount of time to match the direction the ship is going (so the ship wouldn't be always in the very center of the screen, but would sway a bit depending on the flight direction). It would be somewhat similar with how the gun models work in half-life2 (and many other modern FPS).
It's just a quick idea though, not much of a game-changer. Your game looks pretty cool as it is. If you have a devblog around somewhere, I'd love to know about.
>>324377394
>>324375438
IIRC you give the camera a velocity, then you adapt the velocity each tick based on it's position to the ship, so that it tries to center the ship
>>324377394
I'll make a devlog someday soon. And I'll try the camera thing out.
>>324377394
>>324377861

>That one squad you get once in a while that feels like the best squad ever

Yeah, pretty much this. You're pretty based anon.
Also, are you using a pre-made engine like gamemaker or are you doing everything from scratch?
>>324379969
I use LÖVE
https://www.love2d.org/
So it's not what I'd call completely from scratch, but I wouldn't call it premade either.
It's a great tool and I plan on making tutorial vids about it someday.
>>324375481
Reminds me of dick tracy
>>324380149
Love2d is so great. I learned Lua specifically for this a couple hours or so and 3 days later I had a functional online multiplayer card game (of course it was a bit barebones until 2 weeks or so).
A super useful starting toolset for Love2d is HUMP which allows to use gamestates and ezpz camera control.
Just got back to working on it again after new years and my birthday
there's stil la lot to be done though
We should work together to achieve something than do nothing by ourselves.

Maybe you should try writing. Not mocking you, I'm serious.
>>324388650
How does what work? I've got on paper that I've got autism, ADD and social anxiety, so when I signed in to my countries "job service" and handed them my school papers and the papers from my doctor. They basically gave me a free pass and gave me the max amount of money I could've gotten without ever having a job. If I would've had a job I would have gotten like 1500-2000.
Sweden. Even I don't understand the process since I pretty much just gave them the doctors paper and that was it.

Many Euro countries have welfare services for those without employment. Many US states have similar services, but not all states of course. If you're interested in them, research it for your appropriate state.

You can just do placeholder art and work the development around it. If then you actually manage to produce something solid but with shitty art it's time to either get your artistic skills together if you're not completely hopeless, or find an artist otherwise.

i have too much fun writing my game than programming it so i decided to first make it work in a pen and paper setting before creating something that would rival the depth morrowind's worldbuilding had. i'm aware that it's way too ambitious but at least creating it as a working tabletop rpg would help me set a great foundation to work on the game with.
>>324392351
Learn perspective and contour
>>324394851
You can get help from /tg/ for the tabletop part. I hear they're into that sort of thing.
>>324392892
They have Turotials on Unity
But there's also this guy on YouTube "thenewboston" who has great tutorials and gives great explanations
Whatever you do, don't watch the hack videos of "LEARN ____ IN AN HOUR/30MINUTES" unless your able to replicate everything they do while watching
Could I get the help of a few of you real quick by answering these polls for me? It's for my game. What I need you to tell me is the following.
Your favorite candy/candies (choose as many as you'd like):

thank you very much

i have occasionally and it's always helped when i'm in need of advice. hard not to ramble on and reveal every aspect of my plans when i get started
Is there a game entirely based off of grappling hooks? I'd like to make a fun platformer involving them
>be one of those "le epic retro graphics" shitposters
>try spriting for one of my games and fail miserably, can't even achieve retraux graphics
Sweet irony, guess I'll just kill myself

Spiderman 2?
>>324395768
>draw like shit
>have to make sprite graphics, which aren't visually pleasing
>recently start learning 3d animation to use a rig for animation and reference for my sprites
Hopefully I'll get results
>>324395768
you should go for something more crude looking like the sprites of Space Station 13. i'm a sucker for that stuff and would allow for easier community modding
>>324395776
wasn't that just full of QTEs and the like
>>324395768
Just create a meme game where the graphics are horrible "on purpose".
>>324395709
Go look at the Attack on Titans online fangame.
>>324356841
>You're accepting that you shouldn't have the right to be able to access the source code of your own game
But I wrote the source code of the game.
>and the software that was used to compile it
Why would I want/need the source code of the software?
Where is your sauce for this stuff?
>>324395709
There is a little 2d game called Big Fun where you play as a spider and pretty much you hook all over the place
>>324395768
seriously just take a 2D game you like and alter the graphics
nobody will ever know or really care, unless you're fucking with Nintendo
look at fucking terraria, the devs are probably billionaires
Working on a dmeo thingy. I dunno
>>324396108
not that i can remember but it was released more than ten years ago. it had amazing platforming where your web was always attached to something in the world instead
it's still so insanely popular and regarded as one of few movie games that are actually good, the team that created the physics of it are making a game of their own last i checked. may have been kickstarted
>>324395709
2D? Bionic Commando Rearmed has great grapple mechanics.
3D? Spider-man 2 when you have all the upgrades is really good.
They're complicated but when you get good you have a shit ton of control.
>>324395405
>taffy ranked that low
what the fuck
>pretty decent illustrator

No. It's the one based on the movie with Doc Ock.

>tfw I've started many projects before but eventually lost interest.
I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and make a small casual game with sprite art and try to get it on android and iOS so I can at least have something to my name. It may not sell but at the least it'll be a portfolio piece.
>>324395405
Is spicy really a flavor?
>>324395405
Now I'm intrigued about where this is going.

I'm doing the same, a rig for reference really helps. I've also used action figure photos for reference, it can be faster than making a rig sometimes.
>>324346665
summonstrike.com reporting in. We've just implemented some UI changes as well as added 5 new Fighters and Spells.
>>324397017
I don't have action figures so I'll have to do with with animation rigs. They automatically transition between positions, that's handy and more fluid, but of course not as fast
>>324346665
I'm at this point.

If you seriously can't figure out any other way then get good at pixel stuff. There's no shame in it as long as you do it well. Take this course and follow its advice to the letter

I've been trying for a few months and haven't got anywhere. I'm bad at math, bad at drawing, never made music before, and have no help so I might as well just quit and find a job or something. I wish you all good luck with your games.
Could I modify Unreal Tournament 4 into something else and sell it as my own game?
>>324399967
I really doubt you could modify such a complex engine, but you can add thigns to it.
>>324399967
you'd have to modify so much you're better off making your own game
>>324399504
If you build a decent game, you can probably find people on the internet to do the drawing and music.
>>324400720
people who are bad at math are usually bad at programming too
>>324399967
I wouldn't know, but if you want something with a lot of premade code try neoaxis3d. It wouldn't be much harder at all than modding a game. It comes with a really basic FPS/TPS already set up.
>>324346665
Pretty good.
I mean, I haven't started coding it yet, because I don't know how to program and besides I don't know what program to use. I also haven't planned out the story, or the gameplay... but it's all going well!
>>324360581

why not just vector graphics?

Come on nigga, that is clearly meryl and it even has those exclamation marks.
>>324360581
Is there going to be any kind of indication of what creatures are allies and what are enemies? They all just look like monsters
>That feel when everything looks like wow ripoff in nowadays
This makes me so crazy that I want to make own indie game with oldschool artstyle
>>324400246
>unreal engine
>complex and hard to modify
Choose 1
>>324400460
Nah, they already have all the hard shit done like making a functioning first person shooter. After that it's just changing variables and adding new rules, they already have the movement and shooting and a lot of score mechanics already in the game.
>>324348889
>That pic
Rule 34 when?
>>324361402
I visit /r9k/ on mondays just for the wagecuck threads
>>324402584
score is extremely simple
shooting and movement is also extremely simple
you wouldn't be allowed to use any of the models or weapons directly, which are the hardest parts
>>324402525
Hey, that's unfair. They ripped off three games, not just wow.
Sorry if you've seen this one a thousand times before!
Was working on updating my animations to my new character design over the weekend. Some of them still need work, but overall I'm happy with the progress I'm making.
Here's a link to a few more that I did on Saturday, if anyone is interested. Did a few more on Sunday but didn't .gif them.
http://imgur.com/a/XzSnX
And here's what I was previously doing. As you can see, I'm still by no means "great", but I'm certainly making progress! (I'm out of the "Programmer art" stage anyway...)

>which are the hardest parts
I'm a modeler, not a coder. I was planning on making new stuff already.
Would it be okay to still use the maps from UT4 though? I'm planning on mostly recreating the maps from the Halo series in addition to making my own, but it would be fun to have some of the UT maps, like that one castle themed CTF map in UT4.
>>324403309
no
remember this is all fine if it's a free game
but if you want to sell it everything has to be your own
I think you also have to pay unreal if you sell a game using their engine
>>324403308
The low resolution sprite were pretty good too.
>>324403747
Awh, thanks! It definitely needed a change though. I found that I couldn't make the character as expressive as I wanted with such a small canvas, and I just wanted him to be more distinct anyway, rather than just a blob with some eyes and feet.

Nothing stopping you from converting the UT4 maps to work with your game then releasing them as an unofficial "fan made" map pack that's not packaged with the actual game you sell.
And you don't need to pay anything, Epic Games just take 5% of your profits made over $50k
>>324404020
Yeah, I suppose it'd be hard to make a wide range of expressions.
What are some good tutorials for Blender? My ability to make a game is crippled by having no models.
How long would it take to be able to learn enough modeling skills and coding skills to be able to make a game?
>>324404562
Here you go anon.
>>324404562
Start here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y__uzGKmxt8
Do every single tutorial you can find after all of this uploader's
At least until you can competently make your own stuff without help, which will take quite a while.
>>324404562
very basic models are EXTREMELY easy to learn
Basic models are still pretty easy to make, you just start working in more complex ways and need to have more attention to detail & knowledge of how things work
if you want rigged characters and such there's a HUGE spike in difficulty
this is speaking from 3ds max, never used blender
