How's that game going, /v/?
Keep getting distracted By new games and anime, but it's going.
How do I get hired as an idea guy?
>>332803294
Well what's your Idea, Janet?
>>332803294

Well let's see your game if its so fucking good, TERESA
>>332803896
Tell me what have you've made, Teresa.
Whatever he's making seems like a decent game.
I made wheel skeletons

Thanks Wilfred!
>>332803859
Not bad. Could use a new font tho
made a new shader today. i'm still learning

I'm too confused to make my game.

That's no excuse Amanda
If you're not gonna contribute to the thread I'm gonna have to ask my Moderator friend to ban you
I couldn't seem to find it anywhere, but is there a script to convert an image into an array of color codes?
Feel like using this would make a very quick way to generate tile maps, you know, just open paint, create an image of lets say 100x100 px size and start painting mountains in gray, grass in green and etc. Each pixel would represent a single tile and depending on the color of the pixel you would spawn different types of tiles.
>>332803896
I think it looks nice. Care to offer a more constructive criticism?
>>332804825
My name's not Amanda, Minnie!
Especially not now.

Nearly all pixel "art" games are just cash grabs with little to no effort put in.
Any retard can throw pixels together, it takes no goddamn effort.

Look at this guy, why are you even in this thread when you don't know anything

And here's images if you don't know what the fuck is going on with the attacks.

Fucking wheeler shoving his uninformed opinions around the place
Go fuck off
>>332805807
Why don't you wheel on out of here?
>>332805807
So you're saying he should put all his effort and time into making slightly better looking art assets, which will appeal to only you and whiny bastards like you, instead of putting that effort into GOOD GAMEPLAY
Okay yeah, that makes sense
>>332805807
So why haven't you thrown any pixels together?
>>332805807
You've never worked on anything in your life, don't tell people who have what is and isn't easy.
Fuck off, Angle.
>>332805807
where is your game, Angel?
What would be the best language/tools to use to make an isometric RPG, something similar to FO2?
>>332806886
I'm pretty sure you could set up RPG maker to do it, but GameMaker still remains king of 2D so I'd go with that.

I'm well aware. I've just been having a hard time finding much on it.
>>332808796
>innocent blacks
Oxymoron
>>332808595
If you want to learn I recommend doing what I did which is following a single Unity video tutorial (2D ROGUELIKE TUTORIAL), code every single step and try to understand how it works. Then after you finish watching it try to recreate the exact same game, if you can't, watch again.
>>332808796
But his game only has gray people.
Excellent, I finished everything and i got greenlit in steam.
Some publishers I sent a demo to are interested in doing business with me, so life is good and everything is working out amazing.
Not only that,__________________april fools ;-;__________________________
>>332807310
Yeah, this.
>>332808985
it looks entirely too static, the weapons and combat lacks oomph. My coder has put a film grain over everything too, which is togglable, but I feel like it kinda obscures my shitty modeling/textures.
whenever i try to draw something i get so discouraged about the whole thing, i just want to drop the game making altogether. why must i be so shit at graphics? I can't even fucking draw a decent looking box.
>>332807310
What do you mean by this? Like QTEs for more damage?

Puzzle/platformer. That area focuses on the speed boost mechanic, stacking speed to navigate obstacles, and a jump boost youll combine with it.
After you navigate that area you can plant the "speed flowers" with a seed item you acquire as a reward. You'll use them to navigate areas previously inaccessible. Theres no story or anything, I'm trying to avoid all the cliché crap that everyone focuses on now and make interest purely motivated by visuals, mechanics, obstacles, item rewards, and the desire to explore more than some hamfisted story like "youre stuck in a computer/space base on mars, etc etc.
Id like it to be like games used to be in NES days and on, where the desire to explore and find the next mechanic are the main motivation as opposed to some "cinematic experience".
There will be a few different artstyles and areas differing from each other in aesthetic and mechanics to renew interest. Basic mechanics such as air dodging, speed/jump boosts, ground slam, and interacting with the environment to change it are in place but each area will teach them to you organically without any instructions or button prompts. Youll also get a weapon that turns you into a little bug that allows you to get into tiny areas that are inside the environment that you won't know are there until you get the weapon.
Here's video with sound.

You mean you've drawn as a kid, then a little bit of doodling in school, and then considered yourself "decent" and not practiced - until you got to the point where you're afraid to try because you know you can't live up to your own expectations.
Get over yourself, faggot.
>>332810828
I don't have any expectations.
>>332810296
Oh are you using unreal's weird ass system for using sprites? What kind of game are u working on?

C++, C# or Javascript. Doesn't matter what engine, I was planning on making it an external program which saves the array into a file

why do you assume the princess is pretty?

OpenCV with c++. it can read images and stores data in a matrix with each cell having rgb values. Look at their 'Mat' objecttype which is the matrix object they often use.
Look up the OpenCV documentations. I'm using it right now for a course for my compsci degree. It's a pretty fucking amazing framework for computer vision stuff. it can easily give you a 2d array of rgb values of a pic. Can't give it right now as I forgot the exact syntax and am on phone but you should find it easily on google

I'm making a shitty mech game so at least one person would like it due to the fact mechs are a ded genre.
Now of course I haven't done any work in 3 months so it's not looking good.
>>332816404
Thanks, man, I'll look into it.
>>332816447
This. I'm making my game because I want it. Hell, even if I sold it for $3 and made $102 and got my greenlight fee back I'd be a happy man.
>>332816471
No Helene, whatever you do you will be pretentious attention-grubbing indie trash. They will dig up every little juicy excuse to hate you, even perpetuating straight up falsities. This is the current state of /v/. The ironic shitposters will be joined by actual idiots thinking they're in good company. It took /v/ 3 mere days to condemn HLD to their fotm hate-fodder. Even Undertale got at least a few weeks. It's not just a meme anymore, it's real.
>>332816218
>would actually kill myself if i was hate-memed

>>332817191
You ever notice those are hyped up games with kickstarters that made them a decent sum of money right off the bat?
You're just insecure and care way too much about the opinions of these random people. Over 99% of indie games released don't even appear on /v/'s radar.
>>332810398
doing something a bunch doesn't actually help after a point if it's not focused practice
that's how you actually get better at things
read the /ic/ sticky
mind you, finding the motivation to really knuckle down and practice instead of just going back to the same old way you've been doing for ages is hard, but everyone and their mother would be an artist or musician or whatever if it was easy
>>332817570
If it's from a /agdg/ then it will be. You'll want it to be. If you're posting your game here you already can't help it. Let's face it, /v/ is actually a pretty good place to shill. If you can get /v/ to support your game you'll have a decent headstart. However it's like firing a wmd, you can't control the outcome, you can only aim it and pray it does the job without additional problems.
And we all know the one thing /v/ loves to hate more than anything else is itself.

added the main menu, and here's some work on the second boss
this is probably the most I've worked on the game in a while
>>332819206
Yes.
>>332819086
They do attack if you get close.
But all in all the balls are a workaround for the simple AI they have.
The player has so much mobility that enemies that just attack up close would either be completely harmless or impossible to avoid depending on their speed.
We can hopefully get more complex enemies working for the next demo.

>>332823272
If you're a drawfag, you probably have some characters or comics you've drawn. There has to be a game idea somewhere there.
I have to say I don't really understand why you want to make a game so bad if you don't have several ideas burning in your head
>>332823160
Just steal characters you like from other things
>>332823726
This. Ideas are a dime a dozen.
>>332823160
Just make a decent game and you won't have to care about the story.
>>332823160
Just take characters from other things, mix them with an idea of your own and possibly another character, and change their appearance.
Literally that's what people have been doing for centuries.
>>332823726
>I have to say I don't really understand why you want to make a game so bad if you don't have several ideas burning in your head

>>332824952

>>332825091
Yeah but I have a good idea for each genre and can code
>>332824952
I think you should do some kind of cyberpunk rpg.
>>332824952
The platformer is the only one you can get somewhat finished during the summer
>>332824952
Turn based games aren't my thing so I'm biased there and tacticool just sounds like a buzzword. And since third person sounds like a giant project, just go with 2D platformer.
>>332824952
make a horror shooter action rpg
