How is your game idea coming along anon? You are working on it, right?
I'll get to it as soon as OP changes the sprites to something original and not based off of CodeMonkeys
>>342817412
These sprites aren't final. They're due to change later.
>>342817317
Looks like the orange cat needs to shave his pubes
>>342817317
Is he whipping his black dick out behind that kitten?
>>342817317
I have an idea that I think would sell a lot but I don't know how to code
>>342817469
>>342817514
It doesn't look clear to you, but that is a gun in a gun holder around his waist.
this is not thick
this is not thick at all
where is the jail girl
>captcha is select all the trees
>one of them has a dude hanging from a noose
this sums up this thread perfectly
>>342817553

>>342817645
I'm trying to make character designs that are suitable for all ages.
>>342817553
I wish I could code too. Guess my ideas are in my head for now.
>>342817692

>>342817806
It would be gay if I made them thick.

if they're dudes, then yes it would
why are they dudes anon

>>342817317
lmao furfaggot
This thread is one big roast. Don't listen to them, OP. Keep working on it.
>>342818084
Thank you anon.
This game is going to be a 2D platformer btw.
>>342818143
Any footage or screenshots?
>>342818228
it's just concept for now. The world, chaarcters, enemies, story, music and level design are still being thought up.
>>342817692
>a gun
>Suitable for all ages
lol
>>342817317
Ooga booga where the lewd sprites at
>>342818665
The game has no blood in it, or at least no red blood. The game is about surviving against monsters, so blood will probably be green, blue or grey.
>>342817317
>cool cat game
>>342818898
This game has nothing to do with Cool Cat Saves The Kids or IHE.
>Tfw you can draw and play music well, but can't code
I guess I'm content making art or music for other peoples games instead
>>342818819
>Blood or Violence
>in any way shape or form
>suitable for all ages
double lol you obviously have no idea how anal or sensitive certain people can be when it comes to all age stuff.
>>342819092
This is what I'm planning to do.
>>342819185
I could perhaps make this game E 10+/PEGI 12. That doesn't mean I'm going to add any unnecessary sexual character designs or character traits.
>>342819279
Thats what i was thinking you would do.
E 10+ or PEGI 12 is your best bet but it wouldnt get passed as an all ages game.
They really only accept stuff like edutainment and puzzle games for the all ages catagory
>>342817317
So you get to fuck the girl cat right? People will shit on it here but if you're making a furry porn game with sprites instead of ugly deviantart shit then I'm all for it.
>>342819442
When I meant all ages, I was mainly talking about E for everyone. Things like Mario and Sonic games. E 10+ though is my best bet.
>>342819598
This is a 2D platformer aiming for a E 10+/PEGI 12 rating. Did you read any posts before replying?
>>342819674
Nope, saw the cat and was hoping for cat loli pussy.
Unless you have a really charming final art style enjoy being forgettable garbage.
but if you put your game on mobile as a paid app I will shill for you forever because I want more phone games that aren't f2p shit
ha ha reskins
>>342819883
Don't know if I will do a mobile version, but if it were to get popular enough on Steam I would consider a 3DS version.
>>342817317
Cute characters, made me open the thread.
But nobody else is contributing.
Here have a trailer for what I'm working on.
There still isn't any animation on the smaller monsters, and z-fighting is still a bitch, but it's all coming along.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihxn0I7peyM
>>342820597
Very interesting looking game with nice art style, I like it. I can't wait to see more of it as it develops into a full game. Keep up the good work. :0
>>342820791
Thanks, it'll hopefully be done around Christmas.
>making my own point and click adventure
>tfw thinking about all the sprites I have to draw
Shit dude. I'm also planning to make give it some strange camera angles etc. so that it won't be just some regular rooms shaped like boxes. Maybe a "ceiling camera" for bathroom etc.
>>342820352
I'm not a big game marketer guy, but I feel like the market for those sorts of games is far more difficult on Steam than on mobile or 3DS.
Like, if you release your game and it's a solid platformer then that's great, but there's a million solid platformers on Steam and you might not have anything that will make it stand out. I don't even wanna play just a normal platformer on my gaymen PC unless it looks really stylish or has polish or some gimmick that makes it worth looking at. Kids don't play on gaming laptops on steam as much as they do on their phones nowadays.
Now, put it out on 3DS, there's much fewer platformers to compete with so you stand less of a chance of being washed by the masses. You're targeting a somewhat smaller but potentially more willing to purchase audience.
On mobile there are shitloads of apps and they're all garbage, but there do exist people that are desperate for good mobile games that aren't f2p ad infested shit, and if you advertise on the right places you might get their attention. There's lots of platformers on the app store, few of them are good. You might be able to get away with just being good and not stand-out. I was just the other day posting in a thread on one such forum about a guy who released a game which was a mobile open-world dog game with a comic book art style and a bunch of people bought the game and gave feedback. It was very shitty but people on mobile have much lower standards than on steam. People in the thread actually liked it, but if I played it on Steam it would be completely unacceptable levels of jank and bullshit.
I'm just saying, consider doing ports to platforms with different consumer bases if it's not too much trouble (how difficult porting is probably depends on what you're making it in).
>>342821243
You can cheat your way around a lot of it, mang. Choose the appropriate art style, animation style, and perspectives.
The classic PnCs were done by full teams of traditional animators, so don't force yourself to compete.

>>342821319
3DS and Mobile (maybe Vita?) are a good place for this kind of game, and maybe as well as Wii U or a free PS+ title on PS4.
The reason why I decided on Steam first then handheld was just that I would be building the game on PC of course, and I can release it on Steam just to test the waters first, then if it gets mostly positive reviews I port it over to handhelds and possibly a console.
>>342821671
Vita maybe but I feel like the people who actually give a shit about the vita just want to play weeb shit (source: me and my vita). Nobody has a WiiU and people didn't buy their next-gen 1080p/60 HD console to play a kiddy indie sprite based platformer. Well, they might anyway but only if it had something special.
Sounds like a decent game plan. Just letting you know that even if you don't get the reception you wanted on Steam, a different market might yield a different response and the mobile market is probably the best one to dip your feet into (even before 3DS, especially since it's been hacked the fuck open, everyone pirates shit on Android but iOS is full of buyfags because no jailbreak for current OS and not many people crack and dump .ipa files anymore).
Yeah. It will be released on Friday.

Just finished my first semester learning to do basic programming at uni.
Aced it, had a lot of people hanging off my dick for help to get through assignments. I never touched programming before, but I've done shit like used memory editors on PSP/PC/mobile games to hack games and hooking method calls. It's all about being able to think the right way I find, the syntax is secondary.

Alright then, how IS your game coming along other than the sprites?
>>342825475
I mentioned earlier that the game is still being planned, and development will start when I have everything planned out.
>>342825578
so you've got a bunch of crap sprites, an "idea" (literally everybody has one of those) and no programming?

I'm not working on it because I just can't get the hang of WebGL, and people who do understand it are few and far between.
It's so weird, because there's functions that I can use on a variable that will alter the variable without me making an assign statement, as well as functions that do god-knows-what.

>>342828996
Is that from some kind of thickening rpg? Asking for a friend.

If you want to draw pixel art you just make the resolution to size ratio 1:1. How hard is that to figure out?
>>342829223

Its basically gonna be a clone. The battles themselves are gonna be a mix of mario and luigi and paper mario so you can do things to dodge enemies attacks and counter attack during their turns, or block by pressing at the right time with a few new features I wanted to try adding.

Personally I'm sick of hearing proc gen, but that doesn't mean I have a problem with it in principle. Depending on the game, a well designed level can be a whole lot more fun than dozens of randomly generated ones. As such, you typically have to spend a lot of time tweaking different variables to have acceptable randomized level layouts.
Spelunky is a good example of this, where there are a lot of hand-made presets that the randomization touches upon to create the different levels.
However, as a programming exercise or thought experiment, proc gen can be fun to figure out.
>>342837672
>However, as a programming exercise or thought experiment, proc gen can be fun to figure out.
That's a lot of what's interesting about it to me, it's fun to design systems that generate stuff with enough variety for it to feel fresh and exciting but still balanced and designed well.
Diablo/bordermemes-style procedural loot generation is my favorite

How do I git gud at pixel art?
>>342838192
you git gud at regular art.
>>342838141
Oh, don't be like that.
If I had to be honest, my drawing skills outside of smaller scale pixel art is pretty mediocre to average; most of my "experience" is just animating stuff since 2003 but never sitting down and learning how anatomy or any of that sort works.
I started doing pixel art some two-three years ago, and simply kept doing different animations (not for this game, but just in general) on a semi-weekly basis up until I learned enough tricks to do it comfortably.
Hell, here's an old sprite of the same character in that gif from the start of 2014.
i have no ideas so i'm just fixing bugs
>>342838192
Getting good at traditional art helps a lot.
Also learn color theory and don't be afraid to use a ton of contrast, most amateur sprites can be improved by a massive margin with a tiny bit of hue shifting on the shading and with a lot more contrast and darker colors.
>>342838537

Here's a challenge make the sprites look futuristic.
Why is coding first person shooter player mechanics from scratch so fucking hard? I really have no idea how to do things like leaning, crouching, etc. while having the third person player model (that other players see) perfectly line up with the first person camera and viewmodels.
I'm trying to make something with a lot of peeking and leaning and really tight play and it doesn't feel possible to get it all lined up without just shoving a camera on the third person player model's face and changing nothing but lods.

dont listen to the thickfags. It's fine.
OP here. Cat Weapon has pretty much just began development. Off to a good start. This game isn't going to be full of heavy code, so it should take me less than a week to finish it.
Art assets might add more time onto development, and I can't compose so I will commission people to make music for the game when the art is done.

One person is a driver and the other is mounted on top of the vehicle with weapons to stop pursuers/break open paths for the driver
>>342849462
Sounds like a good idea for a boss fight.
>>342849620
Hecks yeah
Wait hold up, after the boss fight you could fight mini-versions of them which are their children.Or maybe a later boss fight which is a wolf-dog hybrid

>>342849404
Would you design the levels and mechanics with our support?
>>342849750
I was thinking perhaps when you go into the room after the fight and before the end room of the stage, there's a room full of puppies which you can pretty much gun down.
>>342850067
By that, do you mean that I come up with ideas of how the mechanics work and how level designs will be like, etc?
>>342850159
Maybe have a bioshock moment where you can murderfuck them for an item or spare them. Idk if sparing them would give you an item or maybe make them into an optional boss fight later on that gives you an even better item.
>>342850271
I don't know if I will be able to add later consequences for the player's actions, as I'm not really a programmer. I'm just using an open source 2D platformer base (with permission and credit) then adding enemies (which I can add from past experience)
Sounds like a cool idea though.
>>342850516
Well good luck with your game! It's looking alright.
How do you design your 3D characters? You can't really trial-and-error in 3d in the same way you can with pixel art, but I can't draw so I cant concept art.
>>342850260
Yes, we'd also give our input on more specific things, but I meant design in general. The idea is okay but needs to be more explicit.
Is there a story? What are the enemies? Do you move through levels like Mario? Are there puzzles? If there, these need to be designed too.

It actually works if you have the self discipline. If you can't motivate yourself to put your nose on the grindstone for a few hours a day then go to school. Even if you look at most CS jobs on the market they say that a degree is optional. Hiring teams are much more interested in what you have done. You need to build a portfolio of programs you created that you can use to prove your skills. A degree is more so icing on the cake.
>>342850880
You learn to draw, and then you do concept art
>>342850881
I haven't really thought of any story, but from when I first thought up of the game I remember thinking about the bird character avoiding turrets firing at them whilst they were in the sky. The story will have something to do with an evil empire or army.
On ground, the enviroments are laid out similar to Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie, but you traverse he big levels similar to 3D Selda games and XenoBlade Chronicles.
In the sky however, the gameplay is similar to that of Nights Into Dreams/Star Fox/Panzer Dragoon.
The enemies are most likely going to be soldiers of the evil empire/army that I thought of.
There will also be indoor tombs that lead up to boss fights that give you limited amount of flight inside of, that is where most of the puzzles will be.
Boss battles however do require a lot of flight, and a bit of ground movement here and there.

I use FL Studio for my work station. I know it's entry level but I've been using it for years and it's really easy. For the instruments I use various East West instruments. Mainly their Hollywood orchestra.
>>342848094
I think what he meant is that people usually play paintball to simulate a gunfight without all the danger. If you are already playing a computer game, playing one with actual guns makes more sense, since computer games already wont hurt you like real guns do.
>>342853514
It's a lot more simple than a majority of programs. With just the basic prefab codes, you can make a very simplistic game.
>>342853860
I just really want more shooters with gravity-affected projectile weapons anon
>>342853789
I see, yeah, that's what I was planning on using for my project too, once I get a little closer to the musical part of my project, anyway. Good to hear that it's pretty easy, I have very little music making experience.
>>342854075
Yeah I think the game idea is fine, I was just trying to make sense of what the other guy said.
>>342852631
Pretty good, like a soundtrack for a jrpg is what came to mind.
>>342854115
It is a bit tough at first. Like if you don't have any music experience than it's like a foreign language. I've been teaching myself with FL Studio for like almost 10 years. But compared to the other work stations FL Studio is pretty easy.
>>342854360
That's what I was going for. Thanks.

It's going OK. Working on a Snatcher-esq VN as there needs to be more cyberpunk. I'm making a demo/prologue showing the mechanics.

>Producing anything of value requires time and effort.
Well fuck that then, just going to go jerk off again
Going to be making a game with a Build engine esque aesthetic.
Having trouble deciding weather or not I want to push for billboarded sprites or models with constraints and animations ( IE visually snapping between 8 different angles ).
Making them models will allow me to do things like have ragdolling, armor and attachments being much easier ( Just attaching it to the skeleton vs. having to redraw a sword from several different angles )
Not to mention giving the models 3d depth will allow for them to physically connect with the player in a way that billboarded graphics don't really allow.
I think I could still have billboarded graphics at the least for objects half the size of the player character, things like mice and table decorations.
>>342861014
Not as much as game design.
>>342861154
Wanking actually ruined my education. Every time I would sit down to study I would end up having a fap.
What engine would be good to make a 2D platform shooter?

>>342856887
I'm in the same spot myself. I recently did a year in Uni for CS and I enjoyed the computer courses, however they force you to take a bunch of classes that I wasn't particularly interested in, so I dropped out. Now I find it almost impossible to work on things without someone expecting something from me. At the end of the day I need to stop making excuses to not work on devving. My biggest one being: 'I can't art so I have no sprites/models to make a game around.' Which is an awful excuse, but that's how unmotivated I am.

different anon here, are you me? Cause I was talking about bird persons last night. She was gonna be a main character, it was gonna be like a banjo game.
I want to make a Ghosts and Goblins clone where you play as a geeky high school girl trying to avoid bullies as she makes her way to her next class. If you get hit once, you get pantsed. If you get hit while you're in your pantsu, the enemies give you a wedgie. Everything in the game dies in 1-2 hits but I want it to be an insanely difficult platformer.
How easy would this be to code?
>>342862551
>you play as a geeky high school girl
>the enemies give you a wedgie
I'll kickstart this.
>How easy would this be to code?
Sprites = [ Pants, Panstsu, Wedgie ]

if Hit is True and Status < 3:
....Status += 1

You don't need to. Secret to coding is that you just google what you want to do and find the stack overflow link
fuck if I even know what I'm doing

I can't code.

>>342866662
>How long would it take me to learn enough to start making a game
Not long. You just need to know basic concepts like variables, flow control (if statements), loops (while statements), basic data structures (arrays, linked lists, objects)
After that it's just syntax, which you can use google to look up when you need to.
>>342855941

Cloth like that has weight, more so than said boner.
The cloth holds it down, but it still strains against it.

What program do you use to make that art style/paper mario art style? What are the resolution of your assets? Do you just copy and paste and recolor from a template somewhere or do you use vector image editing software or what?
Just got a physics engine implemented into my game engine.
Still very buggy right now, but it's coming along. Webm's gamma is looking very blown out to me.
How do I become a decent sprite artist?
>>342869562
you become a decent artist first
>>342869562
there's no point in being a great sprite artist
people who want to see super detailed 2D art would rather see it looked digitally painted
and when people want to see sprite art they're fine seeing simplistic sprite art
for the niche that wants to see HD sprites its far to small to justify the time and cost to make such stuff
>>342869685
what if i'm a decent artist already but still can't into small sprites?
>>342869685
There has to be an easier way
>>342869850
yougit gud.
>>342869850
Pick nice, contrasting colors but also try to limit your use of them. Don't just pick new colors willy nilly, and try to make them count for something. You'll get more cohesive looking pieces this way.
Here's also a good set of tutorials to learn from: http://nexgensprites.com/threads/pixel-logic.50/
>>342869850
do what you've done to become a decent artist already
look at good sprite art and study from that
its a little harder than something like going from oil to water though, there's really not known techniques for being a sprite artist since its such a niche thing
but i'd recommend setting a palette for yourself first, and using those colors to create something so you're not working with a million colors not knowing which one to use
>>342837591
post mimiga
>>342869970
You pay a decent artist to make your art. It doesn't get much easier than that.
>>342869850
then you're full of shit, obviously
study your loomis
>>342870840
is loomis /ic/'s best meme?
>>342871060
loomis is legit though
>>342871060
>>342871458
only scrubs think loomis isn't legit, and if this guy thinks he can draw but nothing he's learnt applies to low res pixel art
well, he may very well be a bitch ass scrub
>>342871458
I know that's why he's legitimately /ic/'s best meme.
>>342871649
To be fair, pixel art at smaller scales is more about abstraction ("how can I make the eyes look good with this many pixels?"), where as traditionally something like that usually isn't an issue.
Doesn't mean that you can't learn from traditional art, but some things need to be approached differently.
>>342869850
got any examples?
Got into a SS13 spriter team yesterday. Rate my nyarlatofasdfsd thing
>>342867716
What I meant is that it looks like it's going down instead of up.
>>342869850
Then make HD sprites. Like Skullgirls, Dust: an Elysian Tail, Dustforce, and Indivisible.
Is using SDL enough to make any 2D game, or will I need to transition into using OpenGL at some point?
>>342869350
There's no feedback from the ground in that webm. Whenever you push something, that thing pushes back, no matter what it is.
ie if those boxes are falling to the ground, they won't just stand perfectly still upon falling, as the force made by the ground would cause them to move a bit when landing
>>342872894
SDL is fine for most everything, yeah.
>>342873180
What if he doesn't need realistic physics?
>>342828996
Wasn't there one that went even bigger?
>>342873348
then he doesn't need to apply what I just said. I'm just pointing out something that happens in actual physics, but a tetris fall can still be neat for creative level creation, if not more accurate for puzzles
I just finished the early version of Cat Weapon. Only 8 levels and one boss fight so far, as well as placeholder enemies and ending.
I also implemented a cheat code for a level select.
>>342869331
I have an artist who draws them for me so i'm not best suited to answer that question but I make basic changes to the sprites inphotoshopsuch as thicker outlines using strokes and stuff like that but for the most part they aren't recolored from a template. We used this as a base for our own
>>342872749

Then you are probably having difficulty thinking about how to fool people into thinking a small array of colored dots represents something specific.
Go back and look at some games you are interested in and see how they do it. Or, you could always do larger sprites/painted sprites. People like hand drawn animation especially if it's good, and if it is good your game is pretty much guaranteed to get some kind of recognition.
>>342869331
