>>315323934
The thing is I just don't know what they meant by code block. I tried asking around and getting a similar response. Fuck me, right?
>>315323503
I'm mocking stuff up for an exploration game I'll never flesh out.
one step at a time boys
it's a lsd dream emulator knock off walking simulator type game with no objective and no storyline and no gameplay
>>315324079
that's because it's basic af and should be covered by every tutorial ever, but lemme lend you a hand
when you try to move the paddle, check if it would go offscreen, if it would, don't move it
or
regularly (for example in step event) check if the paddle is offscreen, if it is, bring it back onscreen

I'm awriteron an upcoming advanced games project.
It's a moba that blends in fighting game mechanics. Sorta dynasty-warriors meets dota.
>tfw you have the capacity to make a shitty game but you don't because you know it will end up shitty.
Shit was so simple back in the day. You'd just fire up Game Maker and dick around with stuff. Nowadays I make like one or two sprites, some code, and some objects and just give up.I think my depression has finally overwhelmed me.Even simple shit seems daunting to me these days.
Anyone know the best way to get back on the horse? So to speak.
I'm making an SRPG, so far I just have a rough engine and a bunch of concept art
Here's a mock-up of the final boss

>>315324079
The simplest way of doing this is to make a collision event with the edge of the screen that stops you from moving off of it.

>>315325010
o-oh
your reaction is gonna suck but by "engine" I basically just mean "character physics"
I'm not making software or anything
I'm such a fucking lazy programmer. I just build upon shit someone already wrote until it's a whole new thing.
Fuck reinventing the wheel.
>>315324731
Kirby/10
>>315323503
I'm making one. It's called Game dev simulator, in it you have to put together some crude pixel art or choose to pay for a real designer, the problem is your game will release on steam in early access and you have no budget so it's a series of decisions you have to make to create a game, such as: do I learn a real engine like UE4 or stick to unity. Of course unity takes a fraction of the time and your a no name developer so steam sales and bad buying decisions is all you can go on anyway.
>>315325390
UE4's not that hard to use in my limited experience.
I'm working on a dungeon-crawler/zelda-like for fun this winter since its a comfy genre to work on.
Got basic movement and some basic enemy collison and stuff finished up, using placeholder art until I decide on a theme/era and style to go with.
Any suggestions? I'm writing up a list and sort of making head-stories and seeing which I like most.
>>315324283
I dig this.
>>315324307
will it be free? No one is gonna pay for that, it's just a tech demo at best.
Reposting.
>>315320734
That sounds helpful. Logic isn't my issue but the language would be a show stopper.
Thanks anon. I really appreciate it.
Any advice for a novice?
>>315324283
You got talent man. A lot of 3D artists have no art direction but you have been blessed with both.
Make that shit happen.

>>315325613
I was in that thread
I did kinda butcher it, I think my rough draft for it looked a bit cooler
>>315324705
Use your depression and emotions to make an game that helps you come to terms with those feelings like silent hill 2 or bioshock
>>315325791
Looks even more like O2 without the color.
What happened to that guy making the quiz game here? He said it would be done by Halloween but I wasn't on here much last week.
>>315325791
That one's too over designed.

Give her a feminine dick and then argue with sperglords about how progressive it is and then remove it at the last moment to give yourself tons of press coverage.
Yeah, I'm supposed to be contributing to one. Currently I'm looking into ways to streamline pre-production of large quantities of fairly complex, semi-generative dialogue and text-based events.
The thing is, I kinda accidentally ended up as an "idea guy living the dream", my idea caught up with some competent people, and that made my life living hell, because compared to the rest of the team, I feel utterly unproductive and generally worthless. I literally don't know shit about shit in the videogame production process. I'm literally contributing by ideas, and occasionally some small odd-jobs, ruleset drafts, basic economy modeling and stuff like that. Eventually I guess I'll write quite a lot, right now I'm doing my part on the lore and backstory research, but still that is very little.
A lot of the game will lay in dialogues and text-based events, and I thought I'd make myself a bit useful by starting to lay down the foundations of those - now I'm trying to figure out some way to make efficient dialogue flow-charts or even basic scripted drafts... It's depressing. I don't know where to start.

are these 3d models? because damn, looks pretty good
>>315324283
you breddy gid
>>315326204
I have literally no clue what has anything of what I said to do with Phil Fish.
I'm a programmer that's slowly working on a game that is halfway between 'Settlers Of Catan' and 'Magic The Gathering'.
Seems to be going alright though, will be a digital only game though cause the amount of shit you'd need for it would be absurd. Also unlike blizzard I intend on taking advantage of being able to change cards post release.
>>315326151
Lisa the painfull was pretty cool though
>>315326334
They're not 3d models, but I do use an interesting method to sprite: first, I hand-draw the character, then I scan it into the computer, then I vectorize it, download the vectorized image, color it in, scale it down to sprite-size, and apply the finishing touches.
The end result is a (usually) decent-looking sprite.
I've fucked about with Game Maker for a while before, following youtube tutorials, but recently I've moved to RPG Maker and find it to be pretty fun to work with.
So far I've made a little house with my two IRL cats in it and they both ask you to do quests for them. One wants his favourite toy (a pink mouse, I even added the sprite in) and the other wants five fish you have to find on the map.
It's fun going in with absolutely zero gamemaking knowledge/programming skills/etc.
>>315326826
Mightaswell put it on early access.
>>315325286
Take this ingenuity, make a pokemon ripoff that doesn't suck and make bank. It's like you took pokemon, splashed in some castle crashers aesthetics, and made them original.

Haven't tried since, that was a year's worth of game work that I did by myself on my first attempt at making a game. I mean, I got WAY ahead of myself, and I fucked up, but still. That really killed my interest and drive.
I've wanted to make a side scrolling action game though. That, or a top down shooter or side scrolling shooter, like Gradius or Twinbee. Coding is something that goes over my head though.
>>315323503
I'm making one but I think my composer bailed on me. For the time being, I'm just gonna make my game and just get the assets after I finish the game. Or make them myself.
All I can do is program and make basic graphics, and even then the most graphical stuff I've ever programmed is GUIs for generic programs.
I can't make nice art or music nor am I socially competent enough to ask someone else to help.

First time I've gotten that. People always say "pokemon", and if I'm lucky I'll get a "kingdom hearts" or "digimon".
Dude I fucking love Castle Crashers. That's a huge compliment for me.
im an ideas guy!
I have some basic programming skills in Python, java and C. Where do I start if I want to create a simple game?
>>315327139
Well keep working on it, shits great. If ya got more stuff you should post it.
Which genre space is more oversaturated, indie platformers or RPGs?
It really sucks that the types of games I really want to make are also the most cliche ones. I really shouldn't care what other people think but on the other hand I want people to actually play my games instead of dismissing them for being another uninspired babbys first indie game.
>>315327430
I have a ton more stuff. Concept sheets and character portraits inbound!
>>315327345
For python, look at pygame
For C/C++, look at Allegro, SDL, or SFML
>>315327268
Are the same idea guy that's trying to make a model or there two of you that love using that 2hu?
>>315327518
>>315327345
If you know some C, expand to C++, as C++ is really just C with more stuff. After that, look online for tutorials and libraries (such as allegro for 2d games, typically platformers)
>>315327503
At the moment I'd say RPGs.
Loooooots of big Earthbound-esque indie RPGs lately.
Whereas a lot of indie platformers have been falling under the radar.
You'd probably have better chances with an RPG though.
>>315326625
that's a pretty interesting approach, they genuinely looked like 3D models to me (sorta reminds me of Ittle Dew 2's models).
are they animated as well?
>>315327612
both
>>315327617
>>315324705
I used to be able to work 12+ hour days with no qualms or hesitation. Nowadays even when I don't have my IDE orUnityopen I can't help but obsess over how terrible everything is and how it's never going to get any better.And it's all getting worse week by week.

T-THANKS
chiming in to say that unity is an alright engine, hidden behind a mediocre api, hobbled by sub-par documentation and an abysmal runtime
if you don't know shit about programming, this is dangerous, because unity's garbage collector will actively try to murder you in your sleep and operations that do one thing in c# magically do something else the moment they're applied to a unity object
but only very rarely
you will only learn of this *after* something exploded and you googled the exception verbatim, because 90% of the documentation is cryptic forum posts about older versions of unity so they might not apply any more????? better spend a few hours to figure it out bro

This happened to me too. I had got VX years ago and got to about 3 hours of pretty okay gameplay. My pc killed itself along with all my files and I said fuck it. I found all the notes I had wrote and /v/ said to get to making one. Now I'm using MV along with Dropbox linked with my Surface and Laptop. Hope to have a somewhat challenging game with plenty of endings and shit. Plan to sell it for like $4-5 bucks. I want all the neets to enjoy/shit on my game.
I am working on a multiplayer RPG with platformer elements. Just about a year and a half in and still have about that long to go, but it's going well.
>>315328982
also for the love of got resist writing an engine, that is the best way to make sure you will never write a game

Kind of like streets of rage mixed with fire emblem or final fantasy tactics.

Oh and no dice rolling because I want to see if it's possible.
>>315328898
when i look at this, all I can think of is
>what if they actually made some low-poly enemies and a low-poly protagonist and turned it into an action/adventure game?
but instead we get a ball rolling around.
Don't make your dream game your first game, make a couple of small games that test things you want to achieve in your dream game at a small scale.
I think most people fuck themselves over by not learning what their language/engine can do and how they can achieve the results and not being able to plan ahead because of that lack of familiarity. Planning is the essential part of development that you NEED to do, if you don't then you'll get stuck trying to fix things or add shit on that is outside of your original scope and never be finished.
Learning some design patterns and principles would help a lot of you as well. Patterns can be applied to functionality you want your game to have and you can essentially use them as templates to create solutions. Principles are the dos and don'ts to creating efficient code (one of the main principles is to create future-proof code which you can add on to without having to do a ton of rewrites).

>How do you go into writing music?
I - I honestly don't know.
The best advice I can give you is my own story:
Ever since I've been playing video games (which was a very young age), I've had a natural fascination and ear for game music. I always wanted to make a video game, and I'd think of tunes in my head to accompany every moment. I'd play 'em on my synthesizer all throughout my childhood, and record them on my video camera.
Then a few years ago, I decided to start putting my acquired knack to the test. I downloaded a MIDI notation program called Aria Maestosa, and composed some game tunes in MIDI. I realized they sounded better than ever before.
A year ago, I downloaded Logic Pro, which is basically the same thing as Aria, but with much better sound quality. The ones you hear on my soundcloud are made in Logic Pro, although if you scroll far enough down you'll hear some of my Aria songs. (You'll be able to recognize the difference - the Aria songs are much quieter.)
I guess the best advice I can give you is to pay attention to music. Passion and motivation isn't enough in this case - you need to have a veritable "Education". It doesn't come naturally - of this, I'm sure - it's acquired over a lifetime. I've seen my friends try to use Aria to make music, and it's baffling to see just how hard of a time they have. It seems natural to me, but that's just because I guess I have years behind me. I wasn't trying to become good ad making music - I wasn't really trying for anything - I was just enjoying myself, having fun.
So, here's my advice: in order to reach the destination, enjoy the ride. Good luck kiddo.

Seriously, there is nothing else I can do at this point. I've learned the material, made some few shitty games for practice, but I simply can't come up with a good idea.

Been working on a generic platformer + turn-based rpg, but you play as a mimic. When you engage an enemy, you can choose to flee, intimidate, or try and trick em to get a strong attack for free. Rookie adventurers, veterans, and monsters react to your mimicry differently and require different tactics and inputs when tricking, attacking and defending. Plus you can invest exp towards upgrades that visually change your chest shell or inner monster. The point of each stage is to find all the gold, bring it back to your cave, and defend it from adventurers. Then you move onto the next area to get more loot.Halfway through the game it pulls a Bravely Default by revealing the caves were mimics and you have to revisit newly designed sections of old areas to get your shit back, doubling its actual length.

How the fuck do you do it with one person? I have no artist and no music.
It's going to take me forever to learn these things and by the time I do, I'll have spent more time on that than making my game.

Step 1: Download an engine, any of the big ones will do
Step 2: hit buttons and google tutorials until you know what you're doing.
>>315332254
Just to differentiate between characters and the world, it looks nicer with the outlines in my opinion. I might remove them later.

Having threads go 24/7 and have to fight each other for survival or get bumped off the page kills discussion.

plus the game was shit
i haven't tried much since and started writing a tabletop instead until something new comes upi did start a project with a friend where i did the art and she coded it but i never got around to work on it like a decent teammate
Any UE4 devs in here?

Music is usually hit or miss, but I've found in a lot of cases people who think they can't do art have only tried traditional methods like raster graphics and stuff you'd learn in high school art class. Then when they give more math-oriented (not sure how to describe this) forms of art like vector graphics and 3D modeling they're much more at home.
Will I get in trouble for calling my final boss The Grimace? I'm perfectly prepared for any associations to a purple retard.

Very nice aesthetic, but it feels like it's a bit lacking in screen estate. Not much space to move around.
>>315333165
That actually looks really cool. Has a unique feel to it insteadfof being a clone of some arcade games, too. Some bullet variety wouldn't hurt, though.
I'm making an action platformer rpg inspired by kirby games in gamemaker, currently stuck on trying to figure out how to make my character get knocked back when touching an enemy but then returning to normal a few frames after landing back on the ground (like megaman does).
Anyone have an idea/have coded something for this before? I'm a scrub with big dreams and little prior coding experience
>>315333165
well you did get the retro arcade feel right, it kinda reminds me of Magic Sword (in terms of graphics and feel, not gameplay)

>>315333617
You can dig through certain things, like these amber blocks, certain enemies can only be hurt by them, and they deal damage much faster than anything else
Not very interesting, but a fun weapon to use I think
Making some sort of bullet hell I think. Making the audio part of the engine and doing effects is slowing progress but it's still coming along.

What's giving you problems, the invincibility frames or the knock back animation?

anon how did you get rid of the lines in you texture in paint? and what resolution was your unwrap?
>>315323503
Just working on building content in other games while trying to figure out how to build a top-down action-adventure game. I've been playing Bomberman games and all the Zelda games I missed (DS games and Oracle games). I'm currently stuck in thought about whether or not such a game would really need anything but "dungeons," (does it need an overworld, does it need smaller chunks of overworld, etc.) and also whether or not every dungeon needs to introduce a brand new gadget.
construct 2 any good?
>>315323862
If you want an especially friendly tutorial, I'd recommend Tom Francis' tutorial series for GM.

Waaagh. You show a lot of promise, but your mixing needs SERIOUS work. Like, major major work. The levels are all over the place, things are too loud, things are too soft, things are too high. I took a listen to Great Basin, and the first thing I noticed about it melody-wise was that the bass was trying to go way too fast. Bro needs to chill out for what it's trying to pull off - either slow down the song entirely or let your bass part relax a bit. I'd be happy to offer any advice or help that you may need, since I've been at this for, what... 7 years now?
>>315330072
If covering is what you do best, I'd recommend taking a song you have copied, then start rearranging notes until it sounds significantly different, but still good. You'll start to get a grip on what makes a song sound nice by itself.
I started to learn C++ one week ago. I'm currently learning functions.
Shit's hard yo. I just want to make a mobile game to get normiebucks.
>>315323503
It's an RPG. It was initially inspired after I started playing SMT III, but other than keeping the idea of having a wide range of options for party members and combat it's changed drastically, minigames are a central part of it among other things

You'll need a variable that turns on when he takes damage. While the variable is on, he cant do any actions. So for example heres some shitty example code. You'll also need another variable for invincibilty frames
if collision(enemy){
is_hit=1
health -= niggers
sprite_index= hit animation
}
then what I like to do is give control back after the animation is over. So make an animation end event and do something like
if sprite_index= hit animation{
is_hit=0
invincible = 1
alarm[whatever] = 60 (or the amount of frames to be invincible
}
then in that alarm turn off invincible
