never started
STOP YELLING AT ME I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT PAC-MAN GAME I WAS MAKING IN GAMEMAKER IN 2008
Not yet.
can't into art
even making shitty placeholder assets takes it out of me
>>334734457
this
trying making a face again today after having the flu for a while
I started but kind of stopped 2 weeks in.
The game I have in mind is way too large and I'd probably be working on it for 7+ years which is really disheartening.
I haven't completely given up on it yet though.
>>334733806
Oh fuck you OP. I constantly think about settings or worlds that could work for a game along with game mechanics before I realize that I can't code or draw for shit and that I'm merely a filthy idea guy who can't do shit.
>>334734735
are you making a hentai game by chance?
I planned to make classic platformer game with antropomorfical protagonist and evil scientist as antagonist
Too cliche, people would not like it
>>334735121
why not just spill all of your ideas in this thread?
At worse, we will mock and laugh at you for your childish garbage ideas we heard in various forms over nine thousand times.
At best, we will adapt some of your ideas into our own games and you can enjoy it.
>>334733806

Getting there.
my game is a roguelite which has no definitive end to its dev. it started out so simple but i just keep adding more.. i dont know when its right to say its done
>>334734403
demo for this yet?
>>334735128
no but i was trying an anime style
not sure if i'm keeping it that way, but might as well practice my modeling until i find something that sticks
>>334735210

Is this autism test?
>>334735560
why you so mean?
I got a job working for vidya gams so my own projects are going to be on hold for a while
Not yet, but put some work into it!
UI work! I managed to put in the pitch/yaw indicator I wanted to, and it was much easier than I expected!
On the other fronts, we have the hotbar in (drag and dropping into it is coming next) and a radial menu for interacting with machines.
Speaking of which, machines are 90% complete now.
Fun stuff!
Here's today's video (still processing): https://youtu.be/Ynhhn4Vzovs
>>334735210
>actually believe the neckbeard meme that settings and story ever meant anything in games.
how well your execution, gameplay feel like is and how fun it is is the most important things in games.
that will decide if your game is a million copies breaker or yet another shitty indie turd that sell only a few hundred copies where the devs whine in twitter complaining that nobody appreciate their genius.
>>334735783
I know it's the worst (you) possible you can get, but song?
>>334733806
Nope. I'm disappointed too since I was working on something for Ludum Dare but kinda just lost interest and stopped.
>>334735401

>>334733806
Looking to start with UE4, what are some good tutorials for it?
>>334736214
your sprites are really good.any tumblr or deviant art?
>>334733806
it's a dead project and I'm never back to it
gamedev sucks dick
Allegro sucks and I'm too lazy to learn SDL and convert over so it's on the backburner for now
>>334733806
Nope, but slowly moving foward. Decided to make some simple mobile shit for first game. I'm rubbish at coding, but I learned how to transform things with and that's the only thing I did with it for now.
>>334736336Honestly I just created a tumblr 5 minutes and this picture is the only thing that's there, so there's no reason to follow me atm
Coding is hard to learn and tedious as fuck when you do learn it so I'm fucked.
>le art and idea guy face
>>334736319
Just download it and watch the videos related to the GUI.
From then try to build something fun, every idea you have in mind just check google how to do it and slowly learn to use the engine.
I've been using it a while now and yesterday I learned a way to make boobs more jiggly than normal. Feels good man
>>334736584
well I look forward to your future art works if those sprite design is any indication of your skills
It's alright
>>334736153
how are you handling the madness IP? have you contacted krinkels, is this going to be free?
you doing the modelling and code?
is it story/mission based?
looks great btw. fellow unityfag here
>>334736780
Well the good news is I'm a better programmer than I am an artist so the future is bright I hope.
>>334736669
I see, just going to ask since I don't have much experience with coding, is it possible to use blueprint for a complete game or is that a bad idea? I've seen people make RE clones with just blueprint is the thing.
>>334733806
Well, I'm slowly coming to terms that I have to start working on audio as the rest like plot, graphics and programming goes on -somewhat-.
Any protips to actually start doing Musak from the very base? I'm not going to need a lot, just some techno sounding beepboops to have ambience while walking/fighting.
>>334735983
Brain Reaction by Break Sciencet-thanks for the (you)...
>>334736950
Yup, and from when I tried to get into UE (gave up in the end), most of tutorials are for blueprints.
>>334736950
It's possible to make games using only blueprints, but you still need to understand coding principles.
I only have concept drawings; it's pretty ambitious so I don't know if I'll even end up making it, but it's called Luckysevens.
What I have in mind is a third-person hack-n-slash that's kind of a throwback to hidden gems on the PS1; it doesn't look as simple as Mega Man Legends, but it's simpler than FFIX. It's set in a casino called "Luckysevens", 30 minutes before Y2K, and you play as the CEO of the casino trying to defeat various technologies gone haywire and the source of the chaos. The two smaller characters are the singer at the casino and an android waiterthat is for some reason not affected by Y2K i'm still fixing that plothole.
Here's some concept drawings I've done for two bosses and the logo for the game.
>>334736293
First one.
>>334737070
music degree.
>>334735273
Well alright since I have nothing else better to do.
I feel as if a game about archaeology or simply exploring desolate and ancient lands could be interesting. It doesn't need to be a real life ancient period or landscape, but it could be a fantastical realm in a fantasy or sci-fi setting. I don't know if this appeals to most people though, since I only like the idea because I enjoy being immersed in a world. Gameplay could be just finding out what the hell happened there in the years past, but instead of being a walking simulator there could also be remnants of the previous civilization to serve as enemies or something. Maybe the fall of their empire was their own undoing etc.
I also think that a hunting game has potential, especially if it doesn't give more importance to the kill, but also to the act of tracking. Maybe in a game where a hunter explores a land with fantastical creatures that he has to slay by slowly tracking them down one by one in any order. If every creature had to be tracked down and defeated in a different way then the game would be more interesting and the player would feel more satisfied in his victory as a result.
In the end I think that player satisfaction is crucial in making him like the game, since it makes the hours that he invested in it feel worth it.
>inb4 anon your ideas are fucking shit
>>334737070
or maybe go to r/gamedev and go look for unlicensed generic techno
ocassionally, there are audio people there who dump an incredible amount of work which is free to use with no to little strings attached

Give it a try senpai, I'm not very intelligent but I can find my why. Takes about 5 hours to get the hang of the software.
You can get free assets in the store with examples. I just created some fetish shit with stolen assets and models imported from MMD.
>>334737331
Those guys post way to many anime reactions
I'm trying to get a demo ready for demo day 8.
I can't even count how many times I changed the art style cause it didn't work or it was too hard for me to do.
Art is so much work, I just want to code and have pretty graphics.
I also want to finish my magical girl game from last summer.

>>334737496
Ok, more serious. In the past I pirated fl studio and never managed do something even avarage.
Even I kinda manage to understand how program works, putting melody from my brain into program was impossible. Like drawing that awesome images from your mind without painting skills.

That's the work of our lord and saviour
Are you unsatisfied?
>>334736848
I'm squeezing as much life out of the IP as humanly possible. It's going to be retail, 15~ bucks or so. I'm the modeler, texturer, armature animator, stage builder... really anything that doesn't involve the code directly I am doing.
We're aiming for multiple game modes, right now we have arena mode nailed down (stuck in a map, dudes swarm you, kill dudes, get money, XP to level up your skills, ect). We've worked on the story mode but until the engine is working to my coders expectations we're holding off on cementing anything down past stage models/designs.
And thanks! Unity ain't bad.
>>334736153
No shadows?
Slightly updated I guess. I'll work on it again after I'm done with persona

Barely fucking started. The only things that motivate me to slog through it are
A) showing off for (you)'s on /v/.

B) seeing something that took forever to make finally work right.

It's just another anime RPG. I'm still scanning stuff to put in it.
I'm currently trying to make the decision on whether or not I should make the jump to 3d. My current project would benefit from it, but I'm concerned about dev time and work load.
Anybody with experience working on both mind sharing their insight?
>tfw started like four fucking projects
help me
mostly started this just to fuck around with GM's physics engine, but ended up deciding that maybe I'll expand it into a metroidvania style game
out of my projects, this one is likely to be the lowest priority, especially since I'll need to actually make art for it, god
you can run up/down walls to accelerate really quickly
when you go fast, you can damage things and you become invincible
this also fills up your attack gauge, which lets you replicate the effect of going fast while standing still/moving slowly
kind of want to make something where I'm focusing doing actual level design, all of my other projects have a minimal level design component, more enemy design than anything else (and then there's that puzzle game I still need to finish the basics with)
>>334738910
What kind of game? That's pretty important when answering this sort of question.
>>334738215
What engine?
>>334737375
>killa byte is tall
Nigga make him a manlet, it'll be cuter
>>334738910
You spend a lot of time changing gears to learn 3d. It took me well over a year of working with blender and unity before I got to a solid, basic level of all around competence. I'm not a quick learner though so chances are you'll catch on faster. I like 3d for the versatility, personally. The more I learn about creating in the 3d environment the more I'm committed to staying here.
>>334739109game art made in 3DS Maxwishful dreaming of making cinematics for a game
>>334739509
Ah, well it's looking good
Get it into an engine though, I dunno how 3DSMax does but I would only use Maya to get all the animations and models in order.
>>334735921
Explain Undertale
How much would it cost me to hire an artist for a whole 2d metroidvania game?
I need to make a game in GameMaker for uni. The class is a complete joke, but I don't think I can just buy the YoYo RPG thing. If anyone would like to send me a half-decent, semi-complete project, I could make it worth your while.

What if I have savings to blow
>>334741112
Do you have any footage/screenshots of it?
>>334741225
I can't even give you an estimate, depends on the scale of your game. You'd probably need to hire someone full time to do all the work, maybe multiple people if one can't do all the art by himself.
Go on art/gamedev forums like pixeljoin and ask for rates.

Ongoing pet project with incremental updates.
It's a first-person multiplayer arena game with no guns, just melee and a growing inventory of different sticky grenades.
Right now it's controllers only.. I decided to do this because it's offline split-screen but I'm adding online game hosting right now. the soundtrack kicks ass tho

Might wanna archive.is this page so you can sue if he makes it big.

Setting is horror styled RPG with a high tech underground facility that has been air sealed for a long time. Civilization outside of this is regular farm village stuff with greenery and mountains.
>>334743693
Personally that interface turns me off so much I'd rather learn Blender, but different strokes for different folks I suppose.
>>334742071
th-this is great___
haven't worked on any new game since my Alien homage, I'll probably will when I get some free time.
>>334746078
ayy lmao
>>334739057
It's kind of a relaxing game with a focus on navigation and very loose survival mechanics. 3d would have more impact on the player when discovering new areas and I could utilize more visual cues as hints for finding them. Though I'd likely need a team to make truly awe inspiring landscapes. Even with low poly.
>tfw started like four fucking projects
I've been bouncing around 3 for quite some time. This is number 4.Make it stop.
>>334739273
>I like 3d for the versatility, personally. The more I learn about creating in the 3d environment the more I'm committed to staying here.
I believe I'd feel the same way. There have been a few games in these threads that have made think about the freedom 3d allows for.
>>334737773
Fuck I remember this from sometime ago, while you had a bit worse textures on your interface I think. Starting to look really great really itching to play it desu. Keep it up.
>>334746558
Thanks man, I'm really hoping the combat will be fun and I'm excited to get feedback.
>>334733806
Video games are preventing me from working on making video games, and other things, so progress is back to more of a crawl. Mostly did a bunch of adjustments to attack speed [increased on basically everything], so things feel smoother, and hitbox adjustment so some moves feel a bit more worth it. Also more things can be canceled with the dash now. Still trying to figure out how I want MP regeneration to work outside of hitting things.
>>334744680
Sounds like you're adding too much stuff, it will end up being over the top. Also walking without feet would be incredibly awkward
God said let there be combat and now there is combat.
There's a combat state (player phase, enemy phase [do enemy behavior], attack phase, resolution phase [did you win/lose?])
Speed stat determines turn order.
Enemy has behavior (right now a simple 75% chance to attack and 25% to fireball).
Each enemy can have it's own individual behavior.
>>334748713
Copying your no-art approach got me actually started on making something
I still suck at coding, but things are happening
Thanks m8
>>334749414
The funny thing is, I copied it from someone else too. When I first started out I was very confused and didn't know where to start with placeholders.
>>334748986
Ah, thank you for the input. The monster was designed before the thread and I was describing it to an anon. We decided to give it a pickaxe or mechanical grappler.
Tbqh, I was probably going to remove the device from the back. The monster essentially looks like a rather unkempt human that is always leaning forward with a mouth on the back of it's head.

That sounds better. You don't have to scrap those ideas, just don't throw them all into a single enemy. If you add 1 or 2 features per enemy they'll be unique enough without falling into silly territory
I have not drawn any additional kobolds because of Dark Souls 3. We'll return to your regularly scheduled kobolds by next week probably.

what's the point of making a puzzle game that was already done to death? i mean, you don't even have a gimmick or anything to make it stand out in the crowd.
>>334736813
looks like a meme mobile game.
>>334750402
>what's the point of making a puzzle game that was already done to death?
Because the Anon wants to program their own game and doesn't care if you'd buy it.
So far I'm only in planning and brainstorming for concepts and ideas. I can code so that's no problem.
The problem is I can't art or music. Honestly I don't know how to start either.
Soon™
>>334750724
Look up basic music and art theory.
it's simplistic, but it helps
I can into music, but I don't know where to find people that need it.

Art in particular is a problem since I don't really know what I'm going for yet. 3D doesn't seem to really benefit what I'm leaning toward but I don't want generic pixelshit #2982894 either. That and Metal Slug tier sprite art would take forever.

Has anything that could be considered functional been shown? I don't have to hate him but any time I've seen anything from him it's been Idea Guy things and meme pictures, even if I get a chuckle out of something like the MC being a spic if you pirate it.
Meanwhile other people post some decent ideas, ask for feedback, webms of functional gameplay, talking about where they want to go with it, and no one cares or acknowledges them because they aren't accompanied with memebait or something to stick a dick into.
Is there a way to make money from my game without my real name being known to every fucker in the world?

>>334737070
You really need to have a basic grasp of chord structures, chord progression, and music theory. And that's not even counting if you want to learn cool stuff like fancy rhythms, key changes, chord inversions, etc.
Also if you want the sound quality to be any decent, you will need to either
>download high quality VSTs
>learn how frequency balancing works
>download decent EQ/compression plug-ins and learn how to use them
good luck anon, this is why I don't understand people who want to be solo game devs. Just to be good at one aspect of it (sound design/music) you need extensive knowledge, tools, and a bit of experience with the programs. **This is why I try and focus mainly on music/sound above other things, I can't into art/haven't attempted modeling and I only have basic programming logic down**

Nice
Planning on starting it next month. I want to make a CRPG, but what I have in mind is kinda big. I'm going to start with different starting areas depending on the class you pick with people meeting up all over the world. Everyone you can recruit will have their own playable beginning as well as side quests. No MMO collect 10 hear butt quests either, just story and atmosphere driven.
I've written so many D&D campaigns I'm going to just start with that and try to expand them into a huge overarching storyline.
Ambitious for a starting project, but that is why I'm starting with smaller areas first and if I like it then move into the bigger stuff.
In a top down shooter, what's a random idea for an enemy?
>>334755219
sound way too ambitious for a beginner project.
try something smaller first, like pong to understand how much work is required for even the smallest thing.
and how much work is required for polishing gameplay.
after that, you will understand just how much you can actually realistically do.

>artstyle
That's not my art style, it's a place holder art from a friend. I just need a visual reference so I can test stuff.
>>334753445
You're not going to be copying me just because you're making a game in the same genre. If I create very specific mechanics and they show up in your webm on the other hand. It's gonna start getting suspect.
That said I'm excited other people are making dungeon crawlers. I fucking love dungeon crawlers and I'll happily play your game if it ever reaches demo/release.
>>334754519
I too have a project in vx ace I was working on but I kinda stopped. I have so many ideas it's insane but I'm not good enough to implement them. I might pick it up again to finish it just for the sake of finishing.
>>334755662
absolutely, start very small and learn what you can and can't do. Even simple projects take a lot of time and work to make not total shit, and the more ambitious the project becomes, the worse it gets to work with, especially if you don't know what you're getting into. Something like a paddle game is a better starting point to make sure you can even make something.
>>334749857
What's wrong with it?
>>334754529
soloing it is fun and you don't have to deal with working with other people
but it's a lot of work and you really won't be able to put all the polish you'd like into every aspect
I can vaguely put a tune together quickly and I can do game logic, and I've completely dropped the idea of having actual graphics (and I'm unwilling to do crappy pixel art, just about everything is just colorful shapes that I'm attempting to pass of as an "art style").
and really, you can solo making huge portions of the game just fine if you can code, and then try to hire artists/musicians to provide assets for the semi-finished game
>>334756238

Breakout hell more like it. That said breakout was my first game too. I think everyone should make breakout as a first game, it's an amazing first game.
>>334756238
I'd recommend making the paddles angular; the rounded edges make it hard to tell where it will bounce
>>334756752
It really is a good starting point. A simple base and you can add a lot of features to it to try things out for practice.
>>334756823
This is just a webm of a flash project a few years back. I figured it would be a good example of the kinds of things someone should start out with. If I were to go back to something like it I would certainly change a number of things like that.
Trying to advance from being an idea guy and I'm constantly reaching dilemmas about how I want to make this thing.
I'm going to attempt to do literally everything by myself. I feel that I'll do okay with music and sound design because I have experience with working with audio (I even have a competent field recorder for SFX) however I've also been learning my way around Unity and taking the first steps of modelling and animation... As you can see from pic related it's pretty horrific. I've always *wanted* to focus on low poly but now I'm having second thoughts. Would it be feasible to abstain from high poly modelling and try to make a realistic environment with reliance on textures/shaders/lighting? Or would everything just end up looking like PS2 graphics? Am I trying to take on something too large as a single dev?
>>334758139
Also disregard the anime shit. Not really looking to emulate it, just used it for dicking around in modelling and rigging practice
>>334755760
>place holder art from a friend
So your friend sent you fur bait as a placeholder and you decided to use that instead of using a circle or square or something.
I'm working with the new gpu enabled as3. Shit is the fucking bomb. Loaders done, controls 90%, art 90%, music 90%. Just have to finish those and the map maker tools before I start cranking out the actual storyline.
>>334758139
Dude, low-poly works best with an artstyle, go for that instead of realism. Honestly, that character isn't that bad.
can someone draw me a pixelart of a depressed hipster with a necktie as a placeholder for my game?
tfw the depression sets in and your game sits in purgatory for months
>>334759105
>you decided to use it instead of squares and circles
because it's placeholders. It's convenient. Squares or that fire cub thing and Isabelle are identical in respect of what I want to do. Yeah I could've made a square with a mark to note orientation but it's something I didn't consider cause I didn't need to.
You should see the other placeholder sprites, they look even worse.

Thanks, but the edges you can't see are several kinds of fucked up and don't allow for very clean skin deformities, because I started the model when I didn't know what non-manifold geometry was. I have joint limits set so the skeleton might be okay, but a lot of extreme poses aren't possible without it looking nasty. Some of the longer parts on the model can look stretched out and awkward sometimes, especially the forearms.
I'd love to focus on low poly but the problem with that is I'm not an artist, I'm inexperienced with making textures and whatnot, so I'm learning everything as I go. I'm influenced by tons of things but I don't have an artstyle to put to use. Have any suggestions for low-poly work to look at for inspiration?
>>334761468
you need more loops at the joints and set up the weights correctly
low-poly models will never deform 100% correctly, just find something that works good enough

Delaware has super lax corporation tax laws. It takes about an hour to found a company in Delaware and they have more companies registered there than citizens. A quarter of the state's budget comes from tax money collected from their 1million+ corporations, both local and foreign.

>>334771141
>im always updating my code for fucking efficiency
Beginner's mistake. I used to always have the urge to refactor my code constantly and I'd never finish anything. Make it a habit to wait until a project is complete before refactoring. Remember to always include good comments and documentation though.
Getting better at coding is realizing you could spend forever improving your code but it isn't productive. You just have to deal with the fact that everybody writes spaghetti code and maybe one day you'll fix it.

anon, this is exactly the kind of game i want to make, so i gotta ask:
what engine?
how'd you start?
any tips?
I want to make a browser game but I'm a self-taught coder so I don't know where to start on something like that. I have a lot of the code written in socket-based java classes and I can run it locally but I have no idea how to host a webpage or deploy server-side code.
>>334772724
there is.
a random float between 0 and 1.
>>334772809
Unreal Engine's blueprint system is actually pretty decent. Most things can be programed easily with it. Theoretically, everything could be programed with blueprints but as someone with coding experience it can be frustrating to try and use blueprints for more complicated logic.
Movement would only take a few nodes to program with blueprints.
where do i learn coding
what language does gamemaker use
>>334772724
There probably is but that is what I have for now. I think another thing that I'm sure there is probably an infinite better solution is my attacks for enemies:
Each enemy gets an attack generated by my above script. When it's time for X to attack, it uses a switch on name to look for the attack name and runs the event associated with it.
I don't think switch on name is the best solution because assuming I have 100 attacks it is literally gonna be a switch with 100 execution points which is just silly.
>>334772809
It's pretty easy, only issue I had is wrapping my head around timelines for rotations because that wasn't immediately obvious.
>>334773306
It uses gamemaker language
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUtKzyIe0aB2HjpmBhnsHpK7ig0z7ohWw
>>334773306
GML, it's not a very difficult language to learn, but it'll have no application outside of gamemaker. You'll learn a lot of general coding knowledge and concepts, but not much in the way of proper formatting.
>>334773306
>where do i learn coding
Google, Stackoverflow, Youtube
>what language does gamemaker use
Never used it, but google says Gamemaker uses a drag and drop system as well as "gamemaker language". I'm guessing it'll be similar to python or ruby.

>>334773468
>When it's time for X to attack, it uses a switch on name to look for the attack name and runs the event associated with it.
I'm not 100% certain what you're trying to do, but it sounds like every enemy has a random attack associated with them and when they go to attack the game uses a switch statement to check which attack it's using and executes the relevant code for that attack.
Sounds like you want to add a method (specific attack function) to a class (generic enemy) dynamically. I'm not sure how that would be done in C++ but here's a stackoverflow thread about doing just hat in Python

>>334771141
>>334771552
every decent programmer refactors all the time. the only reason you wouldn't be doing so is if your project is simple, near completion or you're being forced on a schedule and don't have time. you never want to be in the latter position because it will fuck you over later.

>>334774309
>Where'd you learn coding?
Self taught, went through tutorials online and some books. I learned to use a few different languages like Java/C#, then moved on to C and C++ because I wanted to learn more. When I was using Java and C# I was playing around with Slick2D and XNA at the time. Then I just stuck to C++ since I liked it and got used to it.
>How'd you start making your own engine? Like what did you do?
I'm only making 2D games so it's nowhere near anything like someone making a 3D game engine since there's much less to implement. I started easy with SFML that already does a lot of things for you to draw images on the screen, then I moved on to learning graphics programming with OpenGL. Then finally I learned DirectX (I wanted to learn it) and it's what I used to write my engine.
Even though it's a 2D game, everything these days uses GPUs to render.
>How long have you been coding?
Over 5 years.
>What tips/info do you have for someone who is an absolute beginner at coding?
If you just want to make a game easily and ASAP, I'd recommend using an engine like GM or Unity.
But if you want to learn programming start with something like python or c#/java to get the basics, then I highly recommend you learn to use C just to understand how things like memory work. You don't need to use C later on to make games, just know what's happening behind the scenes. If you want to understand even more learn assembly. By then everything will make sense.
Keep in mind there is no real benefit to writing your own engine these days with everything available, I did it because it's fun and I learned a lot
>>334775774
Not only are you posting a reddit meme, you're posting a terrible one.
>>334775854
Thanks alot anon. One more question.
DO you need to be a good at math for coding? Like, very good?
>>334776015
At the very least you need high school level math. If you learn linear algebra it will also be very useful. I'm no math expert but I learned enough to make the kind of games I want to make.
For anything complex there's already physics engines and math libraries out there for you to use.
>>334776015
It's more like if you're good at math, you'll probably be good at coding. The logic skills required by both are similar.
>>334776282
Hmmm... ok.
Thanks for answering all my questions anon. I really appreciate it. I wish you great success with your game!
>>334776423
Thanks anon, good luck
And this guy is right >>334776375
Programming is all logic, whether you use Blueprints or write code yourself you need logic to make it work.
Just learn bit by bit and keep at it.
>>334775854
Good for you anon, it takes motivation and dedication to do that stuff. I've been coding longer than 5 years but I'd still prefer to use an engine like Unity or Unreal (but not all the premade shit) over starting from scratch, and based on what you've said you really have gone deeper than necessary, just because you felt like it. I felt the same way a couple years ago.
It almost makes me feel bad to have been slopping around in Unity for a 2D game for my current project. I feel like I really should get back into C++ and doing more stuff myself again when I read things like this.
>>334775854
Not these anons but I have learned python to some extent but now I don't really know what to do with it that's not games.
Like I wanted to try and make my life easier with programming but now that I kind of know how (or at least I'm in a good position to learn how to get better and make cool things) I don't know what to apply it to.
>>334737410
I like the not-walking simulator idea anon, the other one doesn't appeal to me as much though the tracking could be a fun mechanic (sounds hard to implement and possibly wasted on a hunting game though, the monster hunter-ish thing sounds better). Go for it?
>>334776768
Thanks anon, just do what you need.
If your goal is just to make a game then there's nothing wrong with using an Unity or whatnot, I'd be doing the exact same since what I'm doing right now takes more time than necessary.
My goal is to make a game but also have as much fun as I can with the programming part since it's what I enjoy the most.
>>334777052
Anon I feel the same, if it wasn't for making games I'd have literally nothing to do with.
Even right now I can't think of any normal programs I'd want to make.
I finished designing the thing on paper, found an art style that works and that I can actually manage to pull off, now I'm deciding on an engine. Unity and Unreal seem like overkill for a 2d game, but there's more documentation and support behind them than Cocos2d and Godot, so I think I'm going with one of the overkills.

That's because everything that would be useful in your life was already written, and it was written by someone who did it better than you could have.
When someone has a new idea, they spend months or years developing it. It's not some quick thing you hammer out in a week.
So if you're looking for stuff to make, abandon the idea that you'll make something that's useful to your personal life. Either devote the time to an idea or find a job or do contract work or something to put your skills to use.

NO, YOU FUCKER, BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME TO MAKE A GAME.
Don't you worry though, I was working on it last night and will be putting some more hours into it tonight.
I use monogame
I like it
Threw out my back, so didn't feel comfortable drawing or programming, but at least i got caught up on sprite sheets.

this is, at best, a mediocre mod with a very small audience. it has a lot of overlap with something like the culling, because eventually it just boils down to a FPS with bows and spears
the traitor thing will never work
the rest could be fun for a couple rounds

Think Less culling more Farcry
I hope Homer is ok
Here's some concept art for bosses. I don't have anything webm worthy this early in development. I guess you can tell me how to improve my characters to make them more unique. Please excuse my crappy ms paint drawing skills. They will look better in game, because they will be pixelshit and pixelshit is easy.
Progress has been good. It's going to be out this summer.

Those are all terrible. What kind of game are you making?
>>334780484
like a top down fast paced rpg thing. You can shoot and shit and its top down basically.

Im not sure yet. Just a thing so far, everything is pretty abstract and not based around and story, just exploration and gameplay. Thought about making it a mass of tentacles
>>334780484
how can I make them better?
