so?

There, one line.
>I need to be a master chef to complain that I was served a bowl of diarrhea
I think a better one would be:
>Is utterly obsessed with vidya, always buys collector's editions and 100%s many games
>Talks about game design principles online constantly
>Doesn't know the first thing about programming and has not applied these lessons in any way, just likes jerking his opinions off onto the internet

I don't need programming to be a game designer, all I need is my creative ideas.
Most 2D games can be made without programming.
>>332818206
Name ONE good game that has been made using this.
>>332818265
Spelunky
I can program though and it has nothing to do with appreciating the gameplay. The only thing I have more respect for because I learned programming is the graphics of modern games.
>>332818359
Simply incorrect
>>332815424
>/v/ is filled with ideas guys who are either underage or talentless (or both)
Are you surprised? Hell, most people don't even know what makes a good game, they just parrot whatever someone else says.

Hotline Miami
>>332818543
The ideas are borderline ok, the implementation in terms of the engine is complete dogshit.
>>332818642
Same, but the gameplay is good enough that it doesn't matter.
>>332818445
There's sonic time attacked but that's a Multimedia Fusion game. I assume they're about the same level of difficulty to make platformers in though.
>>332818605

>Not using a language that allows for uninitialized variables
>>332815424
as dunban said, you can eat bread without knowing how to make it
that said, I remember when I played one of those guitar hero pc games, and some songs didn't had the star power in them, so I went into the code and added that shit in, so fuck you I can complain if I want

They wouldn't be better games if they were made in Unity or UE4 or CryEngine.

>>332818919
Hi sis. What are you doing on 4chan?
>>332818919
You can use this argument to justify using the shittiest of engines
>>332819156
No because some games do require a better engine. Between Unity, UE4 and CE the difference is smaller, but obviously you're not going to be making FPS, TPS, etc. games in Gamemaker. But with games like Spelunky, HLM, ROR, etc. what reason is there to go to a bigger, more complex 3D engine? They have nothing to gain except maybe some performance, but even that's arguable since AFAIK when you make a 2D game in Unity it's still doing everything the exact same as in 3D except you're just using a bunch of quads so you get slightly lower polygon counts.
>>332819607
>Pixelshit that looks jank as fuck couldn't be improved upon with a better engine
Whatever you say, dude.
>>332819716
Your assets don't suddenly stop being pixelshit because you change engine, retard.
>>332819758
Have you ever made a game?
>>332818794
>python
>>332819945
Yes, and I know for a fact that the sprites in HLM would look the exact same in any engine.
>>332820015
Post it. Let me guess, it's pixelshit.
>>332818794
>>332820108
How is that relevant at all? Why don't you post some proof to back up your implication that fucking sprites look different in different engines?
>>332815424
>complain about trump

>>332815424
Shut up, I made a game in Visual Basic once.

Case closed.

Indeed
>>332820234
More like:
>complain about trump
>literally doesn't know anything about politics or trump's policies, just thinks he's a big meanie
>>332820234
I ran for president and got one vote once so I'm qualified
>>332818794

>Make statement contributing to thread
>Autist starts bragging about his indieshit mess
>Wow there lad, why don't you enlighten us about your game instead of just using it to justify your omniscience about vidya programming? If you know this much it must be good right?
>NO! I will NOT show you my game. This conversation is about how you are STUPID, not me.
>Then why did you interrupt me in the first place, nigger?
>>332820803
Forced initialization of variables can eat up precious cycles if you don't plan on ever using those variables.
>>332820803
But it doesn't really affect anything.
>>332820850
>Make statement contributing to thread
A completely false statement that didn't contribute anything to the thread except your complete ignorance on the subject.

What is it with /v/ and food analogies?
>>332821009
I get it, you want to keep greentexting back and forth until you ejaculate from inflated ego. Have one last you and be on your way, kid.
>>332819716
>the image files suddenly stop being pixelated if you use a different engine
wow what engine are you referring to
>>332821256
What you saw here is the masterful combination of /v/'s obsession with food analogies and shit analogies. Anything good is a delicious meal, anything bad is literally shit.
It's almost as if people on /v/ have a daily routine that mostly involves eating and shitting...
>>332821256
Food and feces are what we all understand.
>>332821429
You are literally retarded.
>>332820957
Maybe if you're using a compiler from the 70s, that ship would be stripped away
>>332821536
???
>>332821590
You heard me. You're one of those people who greentext a post and then fill in whatever dumb strawman comment you want to rant against.
I see you.
>>332821775
explain what was wrong in my original post
>>332821854
I never said that the engine would take shitty assets and make them beautiful.
>>332821958
then how would any of the games be improved by being in a different engine? how would they not be pixelshit that look jank as fuck any more?
>>332822009
I'm saying game maker is bad because of limited options, not that a different engine would magically alter assets. Please stop strawmanning me.
>>332822195
but you literally did say the games would be improved by a different engine and specifically noted that the games look like shit as if that would change
>>332822323
It would be improved by not limiting yourself to what is capable on a shitty engine. Do you understand yet?
>>332822464
no because the devs accomplished everything they wanted with those games so they didn't need any more options
>>332822323
Dude, you're being super aggressive.
>>332822567
>the devs accomplished everything they wanted with those games
According to whom? Those games are so clearly limited by being on game maker this statement is borderline retarded.
