You gonna work on your game today, anon?
Yes I'm making a game where you click the left or right mouse button in order to progress the story.
i'm trying to motivate myself to do something, but i'm pretty tired.
maybe i'll take a nap and then do some work, who knows.
I've been procrastinating the shit out of this. I have access to all three of these and I haven't bothered to actually fire them up and do something.
God, I'm a loser.
I can program, but I can't do it good.
I can draw, but I can't do it good.
I can write, but I can't do it good.
Honestly I'm so mediocre in every way the only joy I have in life is that I can avoid facing this truth every day by not trying.
>>331421876
No I'm programming a ray tracer. Wish I could use it for vidya but I fear it's not quite fast enough.
>>331421876
Some time ago I decided to try make a game. Some simple mobile shit for ads income.
I learned some basics with c++ in past, so unreal was the choice. In the end, I could say unreal was just desktop icon and nothing more. Few days ago I unistalled it and got unity. Oh my, is much simpler and faster. I never touched c# before but in few hours I made more in it than in unreal in few days. And is much better with tutorials because for unreal most of them are for these awful blueprints.
>>331422340
I'm mostly in the situation you're in right now, anon, so let me tell you; Start. Just go. Make some game, cus shit takes years, and in a few years of training yourself with making sprites/assets and coding, you'll be good. Maybe not amazing, but good.
>>331422340
If you are medicore try doing something fucking weird and different. (not lol how random different) You may never know what you excel at.
>>331422523
Oh, it's just gonna take some optimizations and all that. I'm sure it'll run grea-
>0.159 fps
>>331421876
Yes I'm planning to add in the projectiles for ranged attacks. The bow archers are going to have 2 attack stances, high and low arc. High arc is going to be meant for assaulting bases and such, giving them a longer range and higher damage but sacrificing accuracy. And low arc is going to be the opposite.
>>331422796
I could probably get something interactive when I move the rendering to the GPU and limit the scenes to a low amount of polygons.
I have an acceleration structure that already cuts back a ton on the number of intersection tests, and that's not even an optimal structure by far (BVH built using binning and a surface area heuristic).
Probably gonna turn it into a path tracer soon so it will give much more realistic lighting, at the expense of being a bit grainy until you let it sit for a while to converge to a full image. I think that would be easier to port to the gpu though, so who knows, maybe I will try to make a game with it eventually.
For now it's just a university project that has certain requirements.
yeah. Working on turning the essential Heroscape units into more manageable expys so I can use them in my game without risk. Big ups to you if you know who this originally was, not like I'm really obfuscating it much.
I can't. My most recent build is at school.
My game is about mandarin-girls.
2D Unity
I constantly have to abandon my projects because some time into it I realize a fatal flaw that would require a rework of too much. So, now I decided to create a design document first.
![fpherocutie[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/PkygtMW.png "fpherocutie[1].png")
>>331423338
>want to publish my game on google play store
>they want my full address that anyone can see when they go to the game page.
why is this allowed?
>>331423438
>Make design document
>Design document is flawed and you have to abandon the project
Probably, although it's hard to classify it as working on a game at the moment. More like staring at youtube videos and combining concepts i learn until I can make the thing I thought of six months ago. On the plus side I can make pong now and brick breaker now.
isn't it high time you've updated that image, op?
put all the possible engines in it.
>>331422089
if you are working with unreal, then use this to motivate you, knowing that this gif is what unreal can make
>>331423945
... but that looks awful.
>>331423945
Thank you for inspiring me to use unity.
>>331423945
there's nothing unique to Unreal in that image, it's just a single walk animation that you could use in any 3D engine.
>>331423658
this is less likely to happen for me IMO
i like to start projects that are different from mainstream. if I were to do a platformer, I would have ample resources on the internet to help me out as I go.
But doing smth new doesn't lend itself to thinking and doing on the go. Far too often I find ways to implement existing features better than I already did.
I'm an animator who wants to make my own VN game, just remmebered that i had a copy of game maker studio pro from humble bundle that i got, so trying it out.
Gotta say, never made any games before but im having a lot of fun following a tutorial and making stuff "work" in front of my eyes, it's sorta like animating but with code!
>>331424202
But anon,VNs don't have any animations
>>331424274
nekopara has a few animations
>>331423945
i'm not using unreal, or any premade engine actually.
thanks for trying though regardless, i'm going to work for at least an hour before taking a nap now.
>>331424274
VN world isn't limited to cashcow anime date sims
>>331424274
You say that like they're not allowed to have them.
>>331424274
Fair critique, but the game i want is sorta like VN and sorta like not.
It's like akaburs game in terms of map, with "events". I want to have small mini games for cash jobs, events with the waifus and the porn (which i animate and export out via a png sequence).
just a little bit
Probably, OP. Probably.
Trying to make the map/sprite display work for my Settlers 1/2 re-imagining.
>>331424629
that poor megaman zero enemy
>>331424629
I recognize that effect, you showed it off by itself a few days ago, right? Either way, you might wanna make it a bit thinner and fade out quicker, cus the screen got pretty busy when you slashed more than once, and the soft look is a bit jarring when put over sprites for more than a few frames.
The only game I want to work on is fixing the stupid fucking bugs on Risk of Rain's multiplayer
Fucking devs havent updated anything in almost a year
Construct 2 anyone?
>>331425047
How many times does it need to be said
Risk of Rain's code is fucked. Trying to fix anything will fuck it more

I'm willing to try and fix itfor freeso long as they allow it.
>>331425202

not mine, but anon from a previous thread posted these webms of a game his team is making with that engine

I will.
Gotta head out somewhere for now, but i'll see if I can contact this guy.
>>331425784
Ok, but I could make that in game maker. What's so good about yours?

No idea, i've been trying to figure out whether to use construct 2 or gamemaker for 2d game dev but there's no clear answer.
I'm coming from flash where it was a lot of visual development.
>>331421876
Nah I start my first day at a new job, will Dev tomorrow, or maybe tonight if i still have energy, the whole Hulk Vs Gawker thing has made me develop more though
>>331426030
the clear answer is always to go with the proven tool, in this case gamemaker
>>331425371
>>331425852
It's not about what you do, it's about how easy it is to do it. The FNAF games, for example, used this engine. You think it's a coincidence that the dude managed to get 4 of these fucking games out in less than a year? no, he managed to get them out so fast because it's literally easy as fuck to make them so quickly with Fusion 2.5™do i get my shilling badge now?
>>331426020
i know. I am the coder though.
The 3d artist guy is taking care of that.
Of course :^)
>>331425913
>that mirroring
>that stretching
>those shading artifacts
Do you even 3d bro?
>>331425202
mmf is garbage, clickteam is garbage, now that gamemaker exists nobody should ever use it, using it to program is so unstable and unstructured it's only viable for the simplest of games
>>331426065
sounds good. i have no idea why but since i started my job ive been so much more productive making my game than when i was a NEET
>>331426135
You've done nothing to convince me that it's any faster than anything. And FNaF getting its 3 expansion packs pumped out isn't a good example either.
No. I have a Philosophy paper to write.
>>331425202
>clickteam
first thing when I got internet was looking on how to make vidya and I found some community around clickteam. I think the game factory was their only released program at the time and I got so much fun with it.
>>331426204
honestly no. Someone else is taking care of things looking nice. I just get a placeholder to work with till the graphics are done.
If there would be an easy way to make a kinda "complex" enemy AI maybe i would.
I would like to make enemies ala Dark Souls style.
But i dont know how the fuck i can do something besides walking and following the player.
About to be done.
And created a trailer/ad video to put on pages and playstore that took hours to render.
Hope i get it ready to send it to Apple for the iphone version check tomorrow.
But will probably release it a little later if everything goes well.
probably early april.
>>331426867
what happens if you walk out of the puzzle area? does he fall?
>>331426867
Its gonna flop.
I am already saying it just so you prepare.
>>331426980
yes he falls, you get a "try again" message and the level restarts.
Made my first sprite ever the other day
Didn't even bother shading the piece of shit
Fuck video games
>>331427050
I'm used to that already. Everything i did flopped so far. But the other stuff had lower quality.
So i hope it won't flop as hard at least.
>>331426867
>direction buttons instead of direct touch controls.
>>331426867
>clicking arrows
>not using touch control
Are you a retard anon?
>>331426867
How long did you work on this?
>>331427176
>direct touch controls
what do you mean by direct touch controls?
swiping?
was afraid a swipe might be slightly off and send you in a wrong direction you didn't want to go and fuck you over.
>>331427168
Show your other stuff.
>>331427303
yea, that happens. but people would still prefer using it over buttons.
>>331427265
i started the beginning of december last year.
But technically i had 2d prototypes with XNA in 2011 and another eary attempt in unity.
>>331426867
Alright I'm an expert /v/ guy so I'm gonna help you out
first of all if you want to make a cat puzzle game you NEED to put in cat memes. Would it fucking killing you to change the boring "Got through" for "that was CAT-TASTIC" or "CATTERIFIC"
You're also gonna want some particles flying out. Bunch of cat shit maybe even actual cats. Make the cat start flexing or some shit.
I don't want to buy this game it looks like it belongs in the educational genre. ADD MEMES
>>331427168
>I'm used to that already. Everything i did flopped so far
Oh so its not your first project?
How much shekels did you get off your games
>>331427365
Had an endless tunnel flying game (1/3)
actually first released mobile game.
>>331427564
only a few euros from all of them in total.
Not enough to live from yet.
But i won't give up even if it's going to kill me.
>>331427850
a minigolf game where you could build own courses.
You were able to upload them and other could download them but because no one played it i disabled the online functionality so i don't have to keep an eye on it anymore. (2/3)
>>331427978
And an endless 'runner' where you have a star that you shoot from cannon to cannon. While those cannons rotate.
But since i used the free version of unity 5 it gave me some performance issues on android.
But i couldn't afford an iOS license.
(3/3)
>>331427056
do you hear the cat screaming when he falls?
>>331427550
in the menu where you see your pet close up it does some stuff, but you can also switch to a puppy if you like.
So i couldn't make it too cat focused.
>>331428349
Didn't wanna add that to leave it somewhat friendly.
That's why i didn't add fire, spikes or stuff like that.
But it does some random meows occasionally when you send it off in a direction.
>>331427978
Golf looks the best for me, even compared to your new game. I know you said they flopped, but how many downloads on which platform you got?
>>331427850
>>331427978
>>331428123
Can you give us an about estimate on how much you made this is very important to me. ALso how much did you charge for each game.
>>331428526
this is a world of warcraft animation
where are your videogame eyedeas /v/?
>>331428809
had a free version with some objects less to choose from in the editor, that got 940 downloads on Android, the only platform. (less than 100 active installs)
and a $1 version with online features at release and some more objects in the editor.
45 downloads and less than 10 active installs.
released mid 2013.
>>331429014
noice info this is so juicy
Alright I have another question. Did you advertise for any of your games at all or did you release it and wait?
>>331428946
probably around 30€ (very rough estimate) with these games.
only the golf game with online features was an actual paid one.
the others had ads.. and ads bring like nothing...
That's why this time i'm trying in app purchases for more pets and puzzle packs.
>>331429234
You must return when you do to give us the info on how you did
Cat dev best poster
>>331429185
think made a post on the unity forums and posts on twitter and facebook, but other than that not much.
This time i'm coming prepared with a landing page, trailer video, gonna post on twitter unity forums and facebook, ask firends on facebook to actually share it and.. that'll probably be it.. maybe.. just maybe set up an ad banner for a few euros and see how much it helps.
>>331428998
A game where you murder every single weeb in the planet
>>331429351
>Cat dev best poster
I guess because he is the only one who released something in this thread.
>>331429389
Okay how about average dev time on each of those games?
>>331429542
tunnel game a month.
golf, can't really remember, some time longer.
cannon game was an attempt to finish a game in a week, think i about made it.
this puzzle game is now about 4 months.
Oh i remember i also had an ouya game.. because i was used to android.. but i don't think i wanna talk about that...
>>331429509
id play it
>>331429668
We're all gonna make it guys :)
>>331429668
do these games have pc versions?
Nope, feel too much like dying today. Maybe tomorrow.
>>331430558
No, because i tried to finance them with ads, and pc versions don't support that. I could have made kongegate versions.. but no idea if it would've been worth it and keeping all of them up to date with later fixes and stuff.
If I wanted to make a dungeon crawler in the vein of wizardry/elminage/etrian odyssey what engine should I use?
I hear unity is probably the most user friendly but is also more suited for 3d action or shooters.
>Downloaded Game Maker
>need an account to access the program
>make an account
>"activate your account with the email we sent you"
>email never came
>it's been weeks
welp, i guess that engine is out of the question.
I want to make a rpg maker kind of game and the obvious choice would be to use rpg maker, but how flexible is it when it comes to game mechanics?
>>331430813
make your mobile games have some sort of limitation (like 5 lives before you need to wait to "recharge" them) and make it so anyone who buys a paid version will also get an exclusive 'unlimited' pc version of the game to practice on.
>>331431004
LISA was made in RPG Maker
That's all I know
>>331431027
crossplatform purchases is a very hard thing to do.
but i have a long list of other games i plan on creating and some fit really well for extra life purchase systems.
>>331430853
>more suited for 3d action or school shooters
nah its the best 2d user friendly thing out there. You can do way more and if UE4 currently had it's 2d support up I would say do that instead. Right now the best 2D/3D is Unity. UE if you don't give a shit about 2d.
>>331431198
it's not technically a "crossplatform purchase"
just anyone who buys the game gets an email with a link to the pc version. (doesn't have to be connected to steam or anything)
>>331431679
but then the link could be made public by someone and you wouldn't need to purchase the game to play the pc version.
>>331430897
Try Godot then, it's open source.
>>331431802
pc games will get pirated, sure, but you'd be surprised by how many people still buy stuff even when a stolen version is right in front of them.
>>331431004
MV is supposedly pretty flexible.
There's some scripting for VX as well I believe.
>>331422523
>>331422796
Maybe in a few decades
>>331431932
I'm not sure if sharing a public accessable link could even be considered pirating.
But yeah i've read numerous times that putting to much time and effort into protection just isn't worth it.
Some who really want it will always get it.
You should just keep away the masses from doing it to save the time dealing with the masses later on.
>>331425202
Is this thing still a thing? I used it like 15 years ago, but moved to making my own engines since that's not too hard for 2D.
>>331431420
makes sense, they don't have a music guy
I'm gonna work on mycommissionstoday.
Are there really people who are willing to use royalty free music or "sprite packs" made by other people in their games? It seems like such a silly concept to me.
>>331433449
I'd use them for trivial stuff like trees or rocks, nothing more than that though.
>>331433971
In a 3d game, I can see that, same with royalty free sound effects or something, but some game devs I follow occasionally release tile sets or character sprite sheets for some amounts of money, advertising that they are ready to be used in a game.
>>331433449
I use royalty free for ambience, but ambience rarely comes around in my game so I hardly rely on it.
>>331434164
They can still be useful as placeholder art I guess.

if you ever ended up working on a vn or something with that kind of art style i'd probably love the art style.
No game but I've made some models.

I'm sorry, but I consider the work I do to be very limited and inconsistent in quality. Also I'm not really working on anything right now, just drawing random requests for the drawthread. Should really work on my weak areas.
Like >>331439925 asked, I hardly do anything besides drawing animu girls.
Here's the last render I did just for practicing color.
>>331440645

Hey, /v/, this isn't quite serious business game creation, but you guys seem like my best bet.
I want to code a 'battle calculator' / character creation app for a pen and paper RPG I'm going to run, reason being that I've got a bad case of the dyscalcula so numbers aren't my friends. I've made the main part of it in excel, but I know nothing about programming, has anyone got any advice on which programming language would be the best or any advice on compilers?
TL;DR: Just want to make a nice character creation / battle calculator app for android. Real basic calculation stuff. Possibly save characters as files.
4chan's having a fit about my link, so I'll post up what I've got in a second
How do I take the first step

I am avoiding that shit for now. Bad enough I gotta do all this other stuff, can't be bothered to learn to compose music at the moment.
>>331441405
Can I ask how old are you?
>>331441514
Just do something simple. Do you want to do 3d? Make a house from a few blocks. Programming? Read up some stuff online and try doing the exercises .
>>331426260
Not him, but yes it is. Do you think it's easy to just like make game even if you use the same concept?
GameMaker is almost as easy though, but no coding is required for Fusion 2.5
>>331421876
I will be. Got this done last time, gonna add a character now.
>>331425885
Tell me more about it
>>331428526
I like your game but you really should get better art. For instance the style of the HUD buttons is totally different than the actual game..

>>331440581
The one on the left looks more natural, and the difference in the way the inner row is drawn gives it a bit more texture. I also like the extra wingspan. But the feathers, especially the inner ones, are so fluffy and scribbly that it looks a bit cartoonish, like the wing of an upset chicken.
The right one is cleaner and more consistent, and I wouldn't bat an eye if it were in a professional game. More fitting for a serious, non-chicken boss. But the solid, uniform outlines on each feather make it kind of generic and flat.
Either one is fine but if you could either give the right a hint of the fluffiness from the left (possibly by erasing a little bit of the outlines and dislodging a feather or two) or clean up the feathers on the right (especially the wild inner ones) I think it'd be ideal
How do you guys make low poly explosion effects? Spheres with add shaders? Particles? Billboards?
>>331431420
perfect
>>331426867
The way the text and stars pop into view doesn't feel exciting at all. The interface stuff also feels really generic and soulless. Give some charm to your game.

I kinda like both styles, just choose the one you prefer the most
>>331442609most of the art is actually cheap asset store stuff
Tittle more gem-like because it should grab players attention, behind this button they can buy more pets to chose from.
As is the "get more puzzle packs" button.
>>331442985
I can see what you're saying.
And admit it's kinda valid.
Yet i did not want to make it too flashy and keep it sort of a relaxed game, to lean back and enjoy while comfily trying to solve some puzzles.
So is anybody working on a VN? I'm hesitant to join anything because I would feel safer just doing my own thing and not let anyone down.
However I'm no writer, and can't really create scenes or storys.
How do I start making games?
It's been a long time dream of mine to make a game that's along the lines of a combination and refinement of the Halo series from 1 to 3, a sort of spiritual successor to the true feeling of the series back when Bungie was in charge.
I want to mainly focus on multiplayer, and stuff like Forge mode and custom games are essential. Absolutely must be included.
I don't care how long it takes to make, I just want to make it some day.
>>331443349
>Tittle more gem-like because
what did i write?! How did that happen?
this button is more gem-like because...
>>331442726
So meet in the middle, I'll work on that, thanks.

How well does Fusion work on Android? I'm working on a little tamagotchi clone, but with my basic knowledge of Java and the Android Studio, I'm not making much headway.

I feel bad for encouraging you to rework something that you already have not one but two decent versions of

In my 30s. Age really doesn't enter into it tho, it is just finding the thing you are passionate about.
>>331443463
You're starting too large.
"How do I build a house? I want to make an entire city."
>>331443650
I have a family, this usually tends to be a factor. Hence the question.
Best of luck to you on your passion.

Rome wasn't built in a day, but they had to start with a single building.
>>331443443
>However I'm no writer, and can't really create scenes or storys.
Just do it. Then rewrite. The truest shit ever is that "Writing is rewriting." VNs are easy to make, so just use abbreviated place holder text (talking about sad feelings) (Asking who you prefer) to rough out the game then go back and flesh it out later. Making cute animu art is half the battle and that is solidly in the "good enough" camp.
>>331443463
Huge scale but it's nice to have a goal. Look up a tutorial on building a simple FPS in Unreal engine. If you like that, keep going.
>>331443972
They started by figuring out how stones go together to make the house. Try making some smaller games and test things out. Look up what engines can do what the best and try to figure out what fits your needs. I understand the over looming desire to make your "dream game" will always be there, but if you set yourself up too large in the beginning, you're doomed to fail.
>Want to make something with 2D vector graphics in C#.
>Have to make everything out of triangles manually as XNA/MonoGame doesn't have support for anything more complex.
I'm kind of surprised, as WPF had support for all kinds of curves and complex polygons.
>>331443619
That's what improvement is all about. Just do shit over and over and learn along the way.
Unity is hard
>>331425202
Reminder Scott Cawthon got rich using this engine.
>>331424461
welp, four hours later and i've just finished writing around a thousand words towards the interactive objects in the first room of my text adventure.
thanks again for the motivation anon, if i hadn't gave myself that boot in the ass earlier i'd still probably be trying to put it off.
>>331444506
I feel bad because the wings are already fine and if he's making a game there's inevitably a shitload of other taxing stuff he has to do
>>331444369
>>331444382
Like I said, I don't care how long it takes me to make, I just want to get it made, it could take half a decade and I'd still keep at it.
I think it's criminal that no other modern games ever offer custom game modes or an in game map editor that's as easy to use well as Forge is.
If I ever get completely serious about this I'd totally go out and try to find help for it.
What skills do you really need before you start getting into any sort of FPS dev? I figure making the game look nice is important, but I'd rather have it all functioning well before I put any priority to graphics.
>been doing IT and programming, and still studying system & network engineering for a general base in IT knowledge with the intention of going into videogames
>Later find out I actually like drawing and making 3-D models more
>mfw
While I do like it I'm still absolute shit at both, and running an internship right now for school is leaving me with even less time. I've been following the /ic/ sticky to learn drawing a bit more proper, but loomis just aint doing it for me
>>331439910
Depends.
If you gonna use real planes, camo, upgrades and setup is as far as I would go. If plane gonna be fictional, model changes like in your pic wouldn't hurt.
>>331444981
Try Unreal engine. It's free and you don't need programming knowledge to get started. To start getting into it download the engine and look up a tutorial on making a basic FPS using Unreal. If it seems too daunting do smaller tutorials first. You learn the skills needed for gamedev by developing games.
>>331444204
I guess that would work, but I find it hard to make OC Donut Steel characters. Never had to do it before, but I guess I'll have to.
I'm really into Kotaro Uchikoshi's work both material he writes and the artists he hires for the artwork.
If I were to make something, it would have lots of mystery and space exploration, with space waifus.
I need some opinions.
Just implemented a flutter jump for my character (like Yoshi). Would it be better to have it reach a set height, or go on for a set number of frames?
>>331444679
that's why there are wars
>>331443349
>Yet i did not want to make it too flashy and keep it sort of a relaxed game, to lean back and enjoy while comfily trying to solve some puzzles.
Well, that doesn't mean that particle effects shouldn't be added or that some of the animation couldn't be more bouncy or whatever. Also, if you want it to be "comfy", the flashy, gem-like buttons aren't helping. I don't know about you, but when I think of something "comfy", I think of stuff like fabric and/or wooden materials. I think your UI would look a lot "comfier" if it looked like that.
>want to mess around in Unreal Engine dev kit but the Epic Games launcher has been stuck on "PLEASE WAIT" for 10 minutes now

The thing can take a really long time to load, wait a little longer.

>tfw you're the guy who's been basically writing towards just that for the past few hours

That's the tile menu.
Waiting on Kozilek to get back from GDC, he's supposed to deliver the demo track to me some time this week.
I should probably work on some parts of the kickstarter video (IE assets) and record some of the shit, but I'm lazy and am playing Fallout 4 instead.

This is pretty much the only thing I've made all week.
Someone give me some level detail ideas for a space station. Just background shit to put on the walls/against the walls and in corners to levels seem less drab.
Still working on art-style
>>331446852
oh god that's the one with the fucked up welding visor, too.
>>331445290
You don't need programming knowledge to use UE? How does that work? I thought it used C++
I cant because programming is artificial difficulty
>>331446915
>>331447014
They have a "blueprint" system that's basically drag and drop programming. Emphasis on "getting started"- eventually you'll need to learn how to write your own code to make the engine do exactly what you want.
>>331446069
>>331446202
I don't know, man, it all just feels really generic. Like, what does a scroll have to do with pets? What do gem-like buttons with a slightly medieval motif have to do with pets? Why are the puzzle pack images so realistic (and what do those things have to do with pets)? It just feels disconnected to the fact that you're playing as cute animals and looks like the usual mobileshit.
Top-tier studio name, though.
>>331445675
>>331446018 guy again.
fuck it, early stages or not. do you have a way for me to contact you if you'd perhaps want to work on/talk about the project i've been doing for a few weeks now?
it's mostly going to be what you said you would make, but with lewd. lots of lewd.
>>331447186
What are you using for the outlines? Screen-space edge detection?
If so, why are most lines 100% opaque, but some (base of the rampm right above the ramp, and far to the right) are not?
>>331447247
had to take what i can get from the asset store since i'm generally a medicore art guy.
But the fruit icons are for the puzzle packs color scheme.
apple is green.
cacao is brown like in this webm >>331426867
orange
etc.
>>331421876
No, because I have 0 imagination, 0 motivation, and too much laziness to actually do something.
>>331424191
Incase you're still around you're missing a key point about indie dev. It's not about efficiency. If you shit works, move on. It's more important to finish something than stop because you're too autistic to continue.
Finally finished the UV, now working the texture.
>>331447247
>and what do those things have to do with pets
if you go that way very few games would make sense.

What can you do with coding that blueprints don't?
UE does use C++ right?
>>331447630

Some mobiles die when AA is enabled.
Some other mobiles can/will automatically force AA and it's fine.
>>331446915
>>331447186
this art-style genuinely disturbs me, like its out of a creepypasta.exe game
>>331447589
100% opaque lines are just static cubes with unlit color shader, other lines are standart edge detection post-effect. Also I use Toon Outline shader for complex meshes (not on screenshots).
Performance-wise this is a pretty fast effects and kinda good looking.
>>331448037
It would make more sense to prerender those graphix.
>>331445694
Any thoughts guys?
>>331448014
99% of the things you want can be done with blueprints and that 1% will just take a little more effort to figure out and jury rig with blueprint stuff. Blueprints might negatively impact your games performance when compared to real code though.

No because she'll never love me, despite me being a fairly decent option for her
Why must we love? Why can't we just be robots making games?
How do you make a good artstyle? For a first person 3d game.
Can you make a pseudo-photorealistic artstyle? Something that looks almost real but isn't, like an oil painting in a way, it looks close enough to realistic to portray the idea of realism.
It takes a lot of work to make photoreal shit, and it's going to look bad compared to other photoreal stuff released in a few years, while set artstyles going after a specific design seem to age a lot better, and if you have good art direction can look better than a game going for the realistic look.
