If indie games are so easy to make, then why aren't you cashing in on your own pixelshit game?
Have you tried making your own game? What was it?
Or are you just an idea guy? What's your idea then?

Some guy just posted the first girl and asked if it was decent pixel art for his game, then everyone started editing it
>>
>>342622415
it doesn't. the original was posted by some dude asking /v/ for their opinions on the character you see on the far left. people built on it and now there's a ton of variants around
>>
>>342622415
It's a platformer. You run and you jump. You change forms for different abilities.

I offered a legit topic though. You got any game ideas, my man?

Easy doesn't mean that it won't take a shitload of time to make.
If you want to sell it, you gotta spend a lot of time and money as well(if not in the game, than in the artwork and shit like that for advertising purposes).

But you're not actually doing anything. With game development, you're actually futzing with the engine, drawing, scripting, and all that. You're actually doing something that takes time. If it were so easy, then why aren't you making games instead of browsing /v/?

probably too many sprites, plus most people are too lazy for that, it's easier to pop out a ff clone (or any other mainstream franchise that's strongly influenced indie games) than it is to make something more intuitive.
>>
>>342623776
Yeah, but this guy is talking about making tales of games, and sidescrolling combo battle systems. Seems to me that it would require the same amount of work.

It's just a generic RPG idea, all I have is characters
>>
>>342624842
That's an interesting lot. The party members are already less generic than 90% of RPGs out there.
So it's just the standard top-down RPG game with turn based battles, or what?
>>
>>342625045
In my head it's kinda like paper mario, with the action commands and stuff
>>
>>342625231
So basically, it's riding on about 70% charm. I hope you can write some jokes.
What's stopping you from making this? Just get some game making software and get after it.
>>
>>342625774
It'd probably be kinda short, I dunno how good I am at writing and I wouldn't want to push it. I also have no idea how to code, so it will likely remain an idea forever

Yeesh, that could use some work. But it's not a bad start. Assuming you didn't copy or trace it. If you just knew some key skills, then you could clean that up real nice.

I program but its harder to show in these kinds of threads.

Artfags and Writefags can contribute with sprites/fics they've written. I guess I could show bots I've written and stuff

I had a feeling... Well tracing is a way of learning too. Just know the difference between your practice work, and your personal work.
>>
>>342626757
I wouldn't know programming stuff. But if you have like, the results of your programming to display, then that might get some notice.

>>342626934
I'm perplexed as to where programmers go. Because it seems like there are a billion ideas out there, and no one to program them. But perhaps the programmers are too busy making their own games?
I feel like Tyrion from ASOIAF. He has this phrase, "where do whores go?" which he asks people.

I am making a game over on /agdg/, store manager type game basically like Recettear.

Not that good at the pixel art though, I'll get there with practice.
>>
>>342627274
I've done that before, I've shown platformers I've done in the amateur game dev threads but because I'm not a draw/art fag they look like boxes and poorly drawn images and nobody was interested. I could of just taken assets from other shit and thrown it in I suppose but it wouldn't look like how I'd wanted it to.

Also programmers are everywhere, they don't stay in one board.
You could try /trash/ because there's a shitty meme that most Computer Science students are furfags. But then Computer Science students aren't the best programmers

>>342627865
Doesn't really fit my tastes. But still, godspeed. I hope you're better at modelling than you are at drawing.
I know a couple people who would be into that. Though, they would prefer a female/futa slave owner.
>>
>>342627983
Not bad looking thus far. Certainly serviceable. I can see the want to improve it. But it's readable and clean with colors that aren't a sore to the eyes.
>>
>>342621739

I would love to make a game, but I can't code, draw, or compose music, and being realistic my writing abilities are mediocre at best.

So since I have absolutely no talent, I'll simply not make a game.

It's called being realistic.
>>
>>342621739
Pixelshit is overdone, and I can't draw anything for shit.

I do have a number of ideas, one for a platformer and one for an RPG. I'm trying to teach myself Java right now so I can actually make something, and hopefully shove it onto App Stores or Steam.
