How's your game coming along, anon?
I was literally just thinking about starting a new project, but then i remembered my video card just fried.
im working on characters, is so hard when you suck so much at drawing
Trying to figure out a way to calculate 3D fractals in real time so I can make a game that looks like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E91yxk_pT_A
I don't think it's possible though.
Any good software on Steam that'll help with animation?
>>342527269
What kinda animation? and why only steam?

Hey it could be worse, you could be a Dreamworks artist.
I just opened up GameMaker after not doing shit since March. Gonna try making a super simple shump for /agdg/'s Space Jam.

Better than nothing
fine
Posting a tutorial maybe this will help others with sprite making.
what's the best engine to make a platformer? talking about what engine is more easy to understand and code for that type of game?
Any good tutorials on 2D drawing?
No. Today the person who gives me programming lessons told me that I'm not able to extract and analyse things about programming.
I feel like shit actually and I'm pretty demotivated.
>>342531195
it looks charming
>>342527162
Good luck anon, you're gonna need to wait about 50 years for anybody to be able to run it though.
>>342535201
I mean, he told me to forget about programming and find another thing to do.
Feels like shit.

If you're interested in making a 2D platformer I suggest you take a look at the Frogatto Engine. It's basically Mario Maker on steroids and is open source.

not to pat you on the back or hug you but everyone learns at their own pace. That guy might be right about you right now or he might be an asshole. Take what you've learned and keep going. I never had anyone tutor me, I've learned it mostly on my own from the internet.
>>342535201
Then maybe he's not teaching you the way you need it to be tought. Try someone else that actually gives two shits about your learning style or try online tutorials

Pretty much this, but I know the basics of almost everything except coding. Just not enough to actually do anything with it.

You make up your own kickstarter rules, just ask for money for the specified purpose and nothing else.
Just creating a bunch of classes for state/animation/attack/frame data. A system where every state knows what states it can cancel into, under what conditions.
I just want to make a 2D Metroidvania with Devil May Cry / fightan game combat.
The gimmick is that you can set different weapons for your light, medium, and heavy attacks, and dashes/dodges. So you could use the light attacks from a low-damage fast weapon, and the heavy attacks from a beeg sward. And some weapons might have additional attacks instead of dashes, so you could give up your safety dodges for even more damaging combos.
I don't think any sort of PVP is a good idea to try.
Honestly, I just wish I was better at art.
>>342531195
This looks cute as fuck
>>342527162
Why would you want to, though? It gets boring after ten minutes.
>>342535201
Very few people have the skills/temperament to become true programmers. Fortunately for you, you don't need to be anywhere close to that level to make most games, and pretty much all indie-level games.

Mighty No. 9 was so terrible that me and the programmer buddy are gonna try knock out a Megaman game.
Started on all the main character assets, programmer is altering the engine of our other game to support more Megaman sorta gameplay.
>>342540935
>just state machines
Yes.
The interesting part is figuring out what data each state needs to define, and a somewhat efficient way of governing what states can change to other states and under what conditions.
Although they're both finite state machines, something like this and the state machine for an AI would contain very different sets of data.
I recently finished a shitty RPG Maker project with barely any original assets to share with friends for shits and giggles.
I know fuck all about coding, but making games seems really fun. Even trying to fix big problems was fun for me, and that's something that barely happens. If I had more free time I'd definitely give game making a real shot.
Good luck to those of you making really cool shit.
Practicing parallax mapping in maker MV and map making in general
Pretty good! Workin on the boss fight again.
Close-range shot attack is more or less functional, though I want the "dropped" Grunt grenades to spawn touhou projectiles since it's unlikely they'll actually hit you.
Maybe I'll just drop touhou traps instead. IDK. Point is, the animation is there.
Also, Big Jim can now walk across the arena, and turn around at the other end. Which is nice, makes him feel more dynamic.
Still to come: a stomp attack I've animated for "medium range" melee, which spawns huge radial waves when Jim is in the center of the arena and the player is hiding at the edges.
I'd have stayed busier, but I'm just rewatching Nier Automata footage over and over again.
Also: Retuned movement mechanics to give the player some inertia (and a little slide-stop animation), also added Free Slay mode and started working on trainer mechanics.

>>342539357
My main focus is to fix the artstyle, unfortunately, that'll have to wait until I get some money.
But inconsistent? How so? It only uses zoomed out pixels and drawn sprites. Maybe it's the filtered backgrounds that break it? I though they would be a fine inbetween the other two styles.
>>342541115
>Mighty No. 9 was so terrible
Mighty No. 9 isn't terrible. Far from it. It's just not really good.
>>342542130
I would've enjoyed it more if it was so bad that it was possible to laugh at it. Instead it was just so terribly boring, basically having everything that made me stop playing MMX games but with incredibly banal level design on top of it all.
Mechanics all set and first two rooms more or less finished.

Went from Gamemaker to Love2d and now am trying out Godot. Rather liking the node system but am still figuring shit out. Luckily I just want to make a game as an occasional hobby after work and am not in any hurry, but it does get annoying starting over as I hit limitations. Also I fucking hate trying to setup custom screen resolutions, seems like every time something goes haywire long after I think it's solid and I can move on.
Gamemaker is great for quick demos, but as your project gets bigger it gets fucking hard as hell to keep organized or remember where you had to put some bits of code. Also felt rather restricting since you have no direct control over overall code flow and have to deal with begin step, step, and end step instead of just making one a line higher.
Love2d is actually pretty good, just most of the libraries and examples are 3-4 years old and no longer work as is. And Lua is so flexible that I have a hard time reading some of the high level code that is just in a different format from what I have been learning. Also apparently making an exe and packaging a game is kind of a pain in the ass I hear.My 2 cents for anyone looking into these I guess.
>>342553119
what about Godot? Or have you not tried that enough yet?
>>342542027
The item pictures are too high-detailed, it's jarring. You have a pixel style for the characters going that seems slightly too tall for their width. My recommendation is to pixelate the pictures and change the resolution, like this.

Not really because most furries have out of place colours and usually wear clothes. That's just a bipedal normal coloured dog, yet Rare had constant animals that walk around.
>>342539825
hey m8, what's yo address?
i'm coming over for dinner
>>342553009
Not him but I think a big part of it is the style.
It's sort of hard to define but furries seem much more Japan/anime inspired while most non-furry characters seem more western/American cartoon inspired.
>>342553245
Just done a tutorial video on how to make a breakout clone so far, waiting for this weekend to sink my teeth into it. Seems like it has potential, I really like the node idea and has very flexible file structuring.
Need to mess with it some more really since one thing he did in the 3rd video I can't figure out if it was just an example or if he had a specific reason for it (instancing the ball), but coding in it is a python offshoot and the code editor itself seems pretty good.
Bad.
I have no idea on what to do. I recently started studying C++ but I just feel I am getting nowhere.
What method do you guys used (for those who self studied) to get the most out of your study time?
>>342553119
>making an exe and packaging a game is kind of a pain in the ass I hear.
What? It's absolutely trivial. You just shove all the code and assets into a .zip file and attach it to the back of the Love executable like it says on the wiki.
>>342553009
It looks like a fucking alien
>>342553704
Do you realise that most of the furry fanbase is Western? Japanese style makes them less furry looking.
>>342551595
I remember being genuinely amazed with that game when it came out, like I couldn't believe such a thing could be a flash game
where's a good place to hire an artist?
>>342553642
Rare's animals (really just Banjo, though he's the closest) look much less like furries than the gif. I'd say half of all furry stuff has out of place colors and clothes. The other half are normal colored, typically orange or grey foxes/wolves with large cartoon/anime eyes, and no clothes at all, being "nude" despite the fur which is what the gif looks like, despite apparently being a shiba.
I'll give the game the benefit of the doubt though, it looks like a furry to me, but that may not be what the developer intended. They were probably thinking more like a disney antho animal or something.
>>342553815
I need HELP! guys
W-why ignore baka!
>>342554432
dunno what kind of artist you're looking for, but Pixeljoint is a good place for pixel artists.
>>342554635
so are you saying if the dog wears a pair of pants it would look less furry? The dev was probably intending to be like rare's animals.
>>342553991
Actually, I take it back, they're more like Balto or Lion King inspired.
>>342525624

>>342553948
I just googled it and didn't look very hard since I'm nowhere near that stage. However doesn't everyone get full access to your code that way? That was the way I understood most of the methods I came across anyways.
>>342555208
The dev is a known furry and has plagued /agdg/ for a long time.
>>342554635
I added underwear, I hope that helps you and your sensibilities.
Programmer and I were thinking that his underwear would change color / type depending on what subweapon you had equipped. Could be cute.
I have no motivation to go on since I started UI
>>342555208
But Rare's anthropomorphic animals do wear clothes.
It really is a stylistic thing though, it's not so much about whether the character wears clothes or not, it's just how it looks in general. It's kind of hard to explain specifically, but Banjo looks more like a "cartoonish bear" than it does a "humanized bear." The character in the gif literally looks like a person running in a furry suit, complete with typical large head and all. Banjo really isn't much different from that, but I think he has more exaggerated bear-like features that make him seem more animal-like.
I can almost imagine Banjo running on all fours, whereas I can't imagine that with the character in the gif.

Asked this last time, nobody answered it but I'm a faggot so I'll ask it again.
Is RPG Maker okay for babby's first RPG or are there other engines that can do it better with just about as much inexperience in coding
>>342535201
There's nothing special about any skill, people with a long time invested in one reflexively say this sort of thing to protect their perceived investment's value, but obviously no one starts with more ability to do anything.
Motivation precedes learning, thinking anyone can or should learn 'abstractly for learning's sake' is a hilarious mindtrick of a meme, you won't remember that which doesn't include a reason to be committed to memory.
>>342541687
Where are those assets from? They're pretty cool.
>>342558305
If you want to learn, make a text RPG in your language of choice (Python is a good pick if you're starting). If you just want to make a game, RPG Maker will let you shit out a generic JRPG provided you're smart enough to follow instructions

i wanted to make a RPG, based around dwarves being assholes and dragons being innocent.
The game takes place entirely without a colossal mountain. The Player plays as a husband-wife couple of dwarves, a shield maiden and a dragon poacher (remember dragons are people)
Plot is that the dwarves stole the foot of a thunder god and that pissed the god off, the god began rampaging and destroying everything but the dwarves have been running away with the thunderfoot still in their possession, the dwarves come across the dragon mountain and try to ask for refuge, the dragons refuse, the dwarves break in, killing dragons and escaping the gods wrath as it destroys the countryside in an orgy of lightning and fire. now theyre stuck inside this mountain with these dragons.
Wanted to have a 4-character party, turn based RPG with grids for placement and movement in battle.

Everything I've read has stated that too many objects leads to poor performance. Although as far as I'm aware, that's only true when the objects are given code to execute. I'm worried just about performance in the long run. Placing objects over every "wall" tile is also tedious and time consuming.
>>342557770
I have no idea how to program either, anon. You just have to give it a shot. No one will take you seriously if you won't put in the effort to actually make a game. Just try to create your idea using an engine of your choosing and get your game into a playable state, even if your code is shit. As long as it works, you can show it around to try to get others on board.
>>342562785
As long as you're not spawning a bunch of stuff it should be fine, remember to deactivate objects outside the view and check for collisions on the moving objects instead of the walls.

come on guys, 15 year old PCs can render the mandelbrot set in 2D. Adding a 3rd dimension doesn't suddenly make it impossible, you just have to cluster small geometry the same way you'd only show a single pixel in 2D.

i have only had experience writing game systems for tabletop games and pen n paper RPGs, but i think making something close to a JRPG in regards to gameplay, but a CRPG with mechanics and dice rolls might be interesting.

Working on the beginning area as it is on my todo list in preparation for demo day. Trying to have multiple ways to go through areas. Wallkicking will always be known but it won't be required for anything non-optional.Also you can walljump off a single wall by attack canceling the walljump, but I think I'll just keep it.

It's good to know that I'm doing the right thing. However, I'm currently using a tile map for a height mechanic using tile layers, so I figured I may as well use it for collisions as well.

Well yes, but placing wall objects over them is twice the work.

Open world SRPG. You roam a grid-based overworld and choose when to engage enemies. Then the immediate area turns into a battlefield and you place your units and battle ensues. The open world less allows the player to choose the ideal situation for any encounter. Flank enemies and gain the high ground before engaging for a tactical advantage, choose to engage near a corridor for kiting, or fight with your backs against the wall for no back attacks. As you roam the overworld, there is an "engagement" ring around you and enemies. When the two overlaps, you can choose to engage in battle. Weather and other conditions affect visibility, so if you choose to walk through a foggy wood, you might be ambushed by a pack of wolves. Battle revolves around a similar "engagement" system, where classes gain bonuses based on how many enemies are targeting them or vice versa. For example, warriors gain a defensive bonus for every enemy engaging them in combat, and posses a skill to force nearby enemies to target them. Rogues, gain an immense attack bonus for attacking enemies not engaged with them and posses a skill to make enemies break target from them, and etc.

Indie teams generally don't have room for ideaguys. There's so little money to be made that you can't afford more than a couple dudes and usually everyone has to bring some talent (programming/some sort of art/music).

I tried doing this just for an exercise and it ended up being more complicated than I anticipated. Is there any reason you'd ever want to avoid using an operator or is it just a brain teaser?
>>342567935
uh... do you know what a loop is?
>>342567935

It can be done in a single for/while/repeat loop. It can also be done recursively

>>342568072
I didn't say I didn't know how to solve it. All I asked was if there was a reason for it.

I'll take it you don't know the answer to my question... Thanks/
>>342568240
The point is to weed out people who can't think for themselves.
If you can't do a simple multiply without the * then you can't program on your own. So you won't be hired.
>>342568551
the answer is no for basic operations like + and *, and maybe for advanced operations like sqrt or pow (which are technically functions and not operators)
>>342568551

You should never do that recursively. You'll blow the stack very quickly.

Code duplication is awful, you should kill yourself. Even if it's for such a simple example, you're setting yourself for acceptance for such garbage. If you know it's negative then just mult the result by -1 before returning.

>>342571006
That doesn't work with negative numbers, anon.
>if(b >= 0)
Means it doesn't run if it's a negative. If you want that shit, you have do something like
function mult(a,b){
var answer = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < abs(b); i++){
if (b > 0){
answer += a;
}
else {
answer -= a;

In small situations like this, code duplication isn't really that big of an issue. I typically avoid using the ? : syntax entirely because it is confusing to look at to most other programmers. Plus, doing a Math.abs may be slower than just doing a branch. Although, branches are typically pretty slow so I'm not certain with this case. Also, I don't use javascript so it may vary language to language.

No brace with the statement on a new line is horrible practice that just causes problems when things get changed of if you're throwing in print statements, but if the "if" and its statement are on the same line it can be a good way to keep things short

In general though I'd just really like to be able to draw, but I've just never made any serious progress in doing so cause I get bored of the basic tutorials too easily.
>Art isn't something you can just buckle down for a week or month and be able to make professional quality. Shit's excruciating.

You'll probably burn yourself out on drawing if you just bunker down and only do that, especially in the beginning stages of learning. I think you are better off working on your game while improving your art. Allot like 30 min - an hour a day just focusing on fundamentals, then maybe doodling or drawing things you like for 30 minutes or whenever you have a minute when you're away from your computer.
Being satisfied with your work might never happen. The more you draw, the better you get (provided you don't practice bad habits). And if you are waiting until you can reach your own standards before you begin to dev, you may never begin. You can always redraw or modify assets later.

If you want to make a game, you have 3 options.
1. Make it yourself by coding.
2. Find someone else's game and contribute to it with good art and music.
3. Pay someone to make it for you.
Video games run on computers, so learning code and understanding how computers work is the first step to making them.

How many of you see this >>342576365 as furry but not these >>342579993 >>342580309 ? I think it has something to do with the designs but that's how it is for me.
Pretty good homies. Posted this before. Spent yesterday doing hitboxes and gore. When your hp drops below -1 you explode in guts and body pieces that bounce everywhere. I honestly press my test death suicide button constantly because its so damn fun. Doing enemy animations today.
>>342580346
Threads for anyone, you're not the fucking boss
>>342580342
It don't matter. That happens all the time. Even in AAA. It actually makes me think there's some high level corporate espionage going on stealing gameplay ideas.
>>342580476
Like I said before, its down to proportions. If proportionally it looks like a guy in a suit then its furry.
>>342580307
modelled it all myself. textures are for the most part ripped from images and tiled or taken straight from sites that offer tilable textures.
either way, just dont have time to do it anymore unfortunately. would have loved to get the mats looking more realistic
>>342580551
>>342580476
They're all furry honestly anon, Got a snout? Kick it out. Or a beak, or a muzzle.
It's just that >>342576365 has greater emphasis on the big dog nose, so it looks "furrier".
>>342580472
Like a lack of discipline and a inability to learn something that doesn't reward you instantly?
>>342580501
>How's your game coming along, anon?
>it's another "Idea guy thinks his idea is the hottest shit and posts about it but actually doesn't even have a decent idea" episode
>>342525624
I'm actually programming a role-playing game in Java right now. I haven't started the game yet, still working on the engine. The hardest part is asset development
>>342580657
I kinda wished people like you just died. You're worse than the fucking furries. Just like fags and SJW's you only needed to ignore them for them to stop mattering.
Now we can't have fucking games with animals because people like you cry furry all the time. Fuck furries but fuck you specially.
>>342580681
>Like a lack of discipline and a inability to learn something that doesn't reward you instantly?
No, like having an actual job and lack of time to learn four things at once. That, and I live in Russia - you don't get a lot of distractions here.
Fuck, man, I didn't even say that my idea is that hot or anything, I'm just trying to justify my incredibly slow progress.
I'd pay for someone to do coding and art, but I don't think there's a lot of honest anons here, especially taking in account the fact that I wanted my game to be free.
>>342580309
Scale back the concept to 2D, express it through basic pixel art of your own creation or free assets you find online, and just hop into a game engine. Learn coding as you go along, it's honestly not as hard as you're setting it up to be in your head. I'm sure you could do it. Maybe the first project wouldn't get done optimally, but you'd learn a lot.
>>342580779
>I'm actually programming a role-playing game in Java right now
>I haven't started the game yet, still working on the engine
Enginedevs everyone.
>>342580875
Well it's hard to make a game when there aren't any good isometric engines in my opinion. I want to create a roleplaying system more realistic than any computer RPG, even the Infinity Engine ones.
>>342571803
Stop erasing them. Save them and you'll probably involuntarily think up ways to improve them.
>>342579262
You don't need classes. Just get some good e-books and go to town on them. You can pretty much solve all your problems with google.
>>342580842
>like having an actual job and lack of time to learn four things at once
That's why you pick one thing and learn it. Flooding yourself with so much knowledge will only slow your progress and hold you back.
If you really want to make a game, like really, really want to make a game, then you definitely shouldn't be getting better at music AND art. Start coding and stick to it, forget music and art for the time being, learn how to actually make a game yourself so you can make the game you want.
>I'm just trying to justify my incredibly slow progress
>can't art
>can't code
>progress
>>342581081
THAT'S RIGHT I DON'T NEED GLASSES
>>342532391
venezeulens made it
>>342581102
Not everybody has their brain wired towards coding, anon. I am absolutely inept in that area, all I can do is music and story. These things don't make a game by themselves, and honestly, I don't want to learn coding just because I have one idea that I want to see realized. Frankly, I don't give half a damn about scripts and programming languages, let alone animation rigging or creating models, because I consider them to be boring and mind-numbing, but I'm sure someone out there does. And I respect that. Because people tend to have talent in some areas, not in everything at once.
Maybe one day I'll find that person, or group of people.
But it sure as shit isn't going to come soon.
Alright, gonna post some more music and fuck off now, I'm just waiting on my coffee break to end so I could get back to working. Peace be upon you, anon.

I've just written an awesome game in unity. It's basically just a pretty, static screen. I would put more in but I have no ideas and I would get discouraged but I have been led to believe that 'ideas' are not important.
Where is the best to publish it? Steam or GOG?
>>342581552
>I'm just trying to justify my incredibly slow progress
>Doesn't even want to try make progress
>Doesn't even want to make a game, just wants others to take his idea and do it all for him so he can fuck around making music
Okay, your idea is either going to have to be amazing or you're going to have to be content sitting in your music corner having no other involvement with the game outside of the OST.
>>342580681
Who is this thread for, Mr Threadmaster Sir, It's not for ideas guys, apparently and it's definatly not for coders; I know this because I posted a code example and was told 'this thread is not for you'. Is it just for you? Is it? Are you lonely and you just need some human interraction.
I pity you, here, have a treat.
I know that you're not supposed to feed the trolls but this one is so danrned cute.
I got a story I want to make so badly but I've had a lot of trouble coming up with a story for the characters to fit into that hasn't been done before.
Yes Undertale inspired.
>>342581854
>someone actually wrote this whole post
>all because he's assblasted someone called his code shit
The other guy admitted his idea was nothing special and then went on to say he doesn't want anything to do with actually making a game so idctbhfam
>>342582041
No, I'm assblasted by negative pieces of shit like you. You should kill yourself, no one likes you.
Sorry, I'm all out of scooby snacks.
>>342581686
Didnt't say ideas aren't important. We said they're worthless. Air is inportant but nobody is interested in yours because they have their own and yours probably isnt much better.
>>342582001
>Yes Undertale inspired.
>>342579506
As in engine?
Gaymaker.
Graphically, Aseprite.
>>342582114
Sorry, I forgot this is meant to be a hugbox where we tell everyone they have the best idea and that they're going to get their dream game made by doing literally nothing.
>>342582652
You talk big, but you don't seem like a person who ever bothered with anything aside from shittalking. Are you sure you're in a right place?
Sure, not everyone is a good game dev, but at least some people here are trying to follow their dreams. Perhaps in their own, clumsy way, but at they're trying.
>>342525624
Hey, right now I'm making a visual novel and in future I want to expand to something like persona 3/4 but without combat, basically a dating sim.
Is gamemaker enough to do that? What are it's limits? I'm slowly learning programming but I can't see the bigger picture at all.
I've been working on my game's main menu. Just finished the controls screen.
Next up is getting saving/loading to work.
(and continuing to think of alternative less generic sounding game names)
>>342582823
>Is gamemaker enough to do that?
More than enough for the VN, and is alright-ish for the expanded version of your idea.
>What are it's limits?
As your project gets bigger, be prepared to experience slowdowns. It's also quite limited for 3D and shit, but it's fine for 2D-based games.
If you're thinking of doing a basic dating sim that isn't 3D, go Game Maker. At the very least, you can prototype it out to see how it'll play etc. (which Game Maker is incredibly good for)
>>342582823
>Is gamemaker enough to do that? What are it's limits?
If it's going to be 2D then yeah it should be. I think it CAN do 3D but it's a lot more difficult to do it in Game Maker than it would be in Unity or Unreal.

Try it out yourself. "Dega Madness" on Android. It's free.
Currently working on a first person space shooter now.

wha wha what is that anon kun
>>342581686
>It's basically just a pretty, static screen.
Sounds like it's not a game at all. More like a screen saver.
>Where is the best to publish it? Steam or GOG?
I don't think people will pay for screen savers.
Just put in a new bomber model for a demo day that's coming up.
>>342557276
now your thinking with portals
>>342583550
Looks like it would be fun on VR
>>342525624
i dont make games because im not delusional
truth is without millions of dollars and hundreds of developers your game will probably be bad
you know how many games made by 1 or 2 people turned out great
0
you know how many games made by few people and a limited budget turned out great
demons souls
i dont wanna play some stupid pixel indie shit i want to play something good
if youre a "indie dev" youre a fucking loser end yourself
>>342577627
Thanks friend.
>>342577635
I love both genres, but so far the strategy project seems to be winning.
>>342578651
I've actually been thinking about taking the climbing and stealth code and add it to the strategy project for a fun little "cheat" mode.
>>342558762
thanks bud, thats exactly what im aiming for.
these are the only threads worth a damn on /v/
Making a rpg text adventure in Java, so there's no view of your surrounding, only text.
Might include ascii art for item visualization, stuff like that.
Need to choose a specific artstyle though. Should I go with vector graphics or pixel shit?
Showing progress would not be interesting though, the UI is shit, and the shit I learned in HCI course isn't applied.
>>342583707
>your game will probably be bad
so what?
>i dont wanna play some stupid pixel indie shit i want to play something good
so you're just a graphics whore I get it, there are games out there for you go play those and let us be
>>342583707
>LISA
>bad
lmfao
>>342583707
But look at all the games made by hundreds of people backed by millions of dollars and still turned out terrible. The biggest difference between a terrible AAA game and a terrible indie game is advertisement budget and high profile voice acting.
>>342556297
That filthy anthro deviant is trying to tempt me with its body.
>>342583550
Looks dope. Bring back the old psx-era Ace Combat playstyle.
>>342566420
Have you formalised the rules in any way? It might be a good idea to try and make a table top board game. That way you can define the systems then playtest and iterate based on the feedback. It might also help you get others interested in working on your project. Although I can't really imagine anyone would be willing to split profits with an ideas guy on a nonexistent IP.
You could just give up games and make board games if you lack the technical skills for jeugos. There's a pretty thriving community for that, apparently.
bump
>>342539939
game looks fun, but what the fuck were they thinking with that art style?

I got my company registered so i can sign docs with with the ID@Xbox program (actually pretty nerve-racking, legal stuff is totally out of my experience)
Finally getting new artwork from artists as well-
imma make me a total war lite one of these days.

Dwarf Fortress.
I have been on the fence about going 2D or 3D
I have some skill at 2D, but theres only so much I could do with 2D time span
Then theres 3D which I have not touched besides making the cup in Blender Tutorial
I think I should just make a 2D platformer right now
What are good ones of late?
>>342589687
Don't go 3D unless you're skilled at it.
>>342588560
>Would you play a game where you play a cool job, but in Space
Who the fuck wouldnt?
Ran a successful multiplayer test, progress towards the next major beta build is on schedule. No screenshot todaynot like anybody ever replies anyway
guyse
pls help
I want to make a game, pixel stuff, but I have no idea what language to chose
I tried in pygame but for some weird reasons it lags like fuck
c++ looks nice but complicated and I'm kinda affraid it will lag there too
I want something where I write all my shit without drag & drop tiles from a menu to make a map or something like that
>>342589989
>Who the fuck wouldnt?
alot of People
>>342590250
Pick any 2D framework and stick to it, what you pick doesn't matter nearly as much as how skilled with it you are.

wtf is everyone on about? besides should fractals be pretty simple when it's basically the same shit applied again and again as needed?
When's the next demo day exactly? I don't want to rush anything, but I'd like to get something playable out for feedback.
>>342588560
Yes. I love point and click adventures.
need to get off my ass and work on it more
>>342555318
Hah. Congrats
>>342591064
>Yes. I love point and click adventures.
No no, it's not a point and click, you're a 2D skeleton in a 3D world
>>342592263
Well that wouldn't necessarily stop it from being a point and click. How else would you do it? visual novel? beat-em-up where you have to beat the shit out of witnesses to get testimonies?
>>342592330
>where you have to beat the shit out of witnesses to get testimonies?
i already have that planned as a option, but it's like a freeroam for the area your in giving you options with about everything
>>342590489
what would you suggest?
I've no idea how to code. Can a kind anon point me in the right direction on how to get started?
>>342592925
