Who else here is actually learning/trying to make a game, but suck at art and music and are too poor to afford to hire anyone who's good at either?
>>342986170
I'm sure the are forums where you can find amateur musicians and drawfags who are willing to help
>>342986170
There are various resources online that will help you learn anything you need to learn.
>>342986170
I know that feel bro.
My game was going along well until I had to let go of programmer art.
It's much easier to be an artist without knowing how to program than the opposite. You can just copy paste shit from stack-overflow.
I'm trying to improve on my art skills lately but I would have no idea where to start with making a game.
My friend has tossed out the idea that we make a fighting game using Mugen. Could be fun honestly but there's a lot that goes into it.

Learn 3D modeling, OP. Assuming you're a programmer, you're probably better at math than you are at art, and 3D modeling is a much more mathematically-inclined art form.

>>342986170
Finding a programmer, and good leader, are the two most difficult things. If you can build a decent prototype, and aren't a complete autismo with a lot of drive, then it's butt-easy to find artists. You just have to give them the promise that a project won't fail, and they'll come flocking to you. In order to do that, you only need to build a functional prototype.
Hell, if you could build a simple arrow key moving mechanic, then artists are ready to hop on.
These threads prove one thing, and that's literally anyone can make shitty pixel art with no effort. Fuck western indie games who still use that shit as a crutch.
>>342989696
I can't wait.
wait is this the pixel art bread or not cause i'm not seeing a whole lot of pixel art here
>>342989696
Nah, I'm bored of it already.
The cowgirl version sounded nice. So maybe. But not likely. Everyone else stopped drawing them.
>>342990283
Sure
>>342986170
I'm the opposite
I want to help indie game companies by drawing for them
but no one really is looking for artists on my end
they all cry for it in some of these threads, but when confronted, get scared and say they'd rather work for themselves, so there'd be less complications
also because there are shitty artists out there who have better connections but are actually terrible artists that don't do their job correctly which leads programmers to believe that artists aren't even worth looking for to try and work with at all
sucks
>>342990472
How do I game as an artfag?
every time people review my game, they praise everything but shit on the art.
I don't have enough money to comission my friend to do everything, but hopefully a full fledged and complete game with good gameplay can raise some KS bucks to finish it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNmbHkNFZ5Y
>>342990526
go to pixeljoint. They have a job offering section.
>>342990472
Neat
>>342990526
Nobody wants to have to PAY an artist or treat them as a person at all. They say all that thinking that they're sparing your feelings when it's clear that they're afraid you'll ask to be treated like a human being instead of a work mule.
>>342990749
The battle sprites look fine, but a little... I don't want to say Flash Game-y but, it looks flash gamey.
The UI could use a ton of work, especially the font for the HP/MP numbers. And the spell icons look like shit but I'm guessing they're placeholders.
Not a fan of the overworld graphics either.
Hopefully you get a successful kickstarter, your game looks like fun. Once it's up I'll at least spread it around on my social media.
>>342990749
You could fix it up a lot just by making sure all your outlines are the same (or at least a standardized) width. You might need to do this with shaders or something.

>>342990749
Your game looks like absolute dogshit. I draw like that when I was a child. Bright stupidly saturated colors everywhere. I would never play this, I don't care if it plays well. It looks like regurgitated ass. Game is so bad it looks like a joke, learn how to draw or get somebody who can.

>>342991634
Nice he kept my recoloring and learned from it!
>>342990832
I'd like to get treated like a real human bean anytime
the issue with this is that there are two things a project manager can ask you for
your vision, or your effort
vision would mean that an artist would have complete freedom over the project's design, and that everything would be laid out to look like so, while the latter would mean that the manager would want to have nothing to do with you other than your labor.
its a big grey area that really just slips into madness when neither the manager nor the artist really knows what the other one wants
I'd work for free because I'm alone and want to know how all of this works before I move on to paid work
>>342991236

you can tell I'm already blind to this kind of business
I can program a little, I don't know how to make sprite art too well, but it will come in time.

Fuck being edgy for the sake of edgy. And fuck the hugboxing too. These threads are about being constructive. And in doing so, you should reinforce the good, while highlighting the bad,k so it can be fixed.
Reinforcement is a part of the critical process, because often time, people will ruin the good parts, in their attempts to fix the bad parts. You have to make sure people know what not to fuck with.
>>342991869
Sir, are you aware of how mad you're going right now?worthless faggot
>>342991614
Because shitting on someone over their objectively inferior opinions is different from trying to give someone else legitimate criticism?
>>342990749
He's right, though, the game looks like ass. And the trailer is poorly designed. And I think I saw a fucking exposition dump at the start. I wish you well, but I can't offer any advice. Its aesthetic is just awful.

I got the art skills, gonna learn Gamemaker (RPGMaker VX Ace is shit) I just need a composer.
My real problem is I cant get criticism on any of my plots. What I want most is a compelling story. But I cant fix shit unless people tell me whats wrong, and they dont want to offend me. And my places to ask for help are limited without having the story stolen.
What do you guys use for background noise while working on your game?
>>342992896
3d world 2d characters and the opposite.
Since he wants something doom styled, he wants the former.

How the fuck do I draw, I failed art twice, I took acting instead to get my credit in high school.
>>342991971
Ahh. Hrm.
I actually tried to work with my roommate once on making a webcomic once and we really couldn't come to a decent middle ground on vision vs. effort... it wasn't so much that I disliked his art or anything, it just seemed like the wrong fit for what I'd been writing, and he felt my writing wasn't a fit for his art, so we both lost motivation and quit rather quickly.
>>342992492
I cant get up the motivation to learn that stuff.

That Anon Who Made This here
i'm working on a walking animation based on that of Alucard, since the castlevania style sort of stuck. It's basically done but the cape is still a bit janky
it's strangely fun to make this shit
>>342992492
I'm terrible at writing and making music but atleast I'm good at the two necessary things. I wish I was a competent writer, anon. It's never too late on learning programming and art!
>>342993185

Now go my son
>>342992492
>can't draw
didn't stop this guy
>>342991634
that was all in the span of like 2 week
>>342991138
Yeah, I get it all the time. First priority would be to get a good colorist, then backgrounds, hen finally better tilesets.
I'm making better spell icons right now, though, and I won't change the font anymore.
>>342991141
I was unfortunate with that screenshot, it showcases the most forcibly stretched out characters in both ways due to detail/size requirements.
in-game it doesn't look that jarring.
>>342991614
I take harsh criticism all the time, and I have no problems with it, but if it's just shitposting or telling me stuff I already know I simply disregard it.
You get better with criticism, and you get more motivated with hugboxes, we devs need these both and must learn how to deal with them accordingly.
>>342992481
i agree, I hate doing trailers, but I'll hold onto it until I get farther into development, maybe hire someone else to do it.
>>342990526
As a programmer who can't draw for shit, I would love an artist to take interest and help me with my project.
But the ones I talked too either wants me to tell them what to draw or they go do their own thing (which is similar to shit you find in the horrible corners of Deviant Art). Since I don't really have an idea of what I what I always let them design their own thing and it just turns out so awful I have to cut ties with them after telling them its not what I had in mind (to spare their feelings on how their ideas are garbage).
I'm just trying to make a SRPG in the style of Final Fantasy Tactics, but the last 2 artists I got into contact with, it didn't work out. One of them drew the stereotypical tumblr outlook (red swollen noses, multiple colored people without any consistency etc), and another basically drew a bunch of shitty sonic OC (granted the person knew their shit when it came to line-art and structure), when I asked if they could draw something else (I was okay with furry if it didn't look like fetish pandering), they refused.
I really don't know how to get artists, but it doesn't help that I provide little guidance other than what my game is. I think I need a writefag as well to make a setting
>>342993349
I'm glad you took my palette teachings to heart man. Good luck with what you're doing.
>>342991634
>>342993349

R u stuped anon?
>>342993337
this anons basically telling you that you need more shading and depth. Try more of a cel shading look.
>>342993337
I'm guessing a part of that is because I don't know anything about coloring and shading and mostly just rely on a ton reference images.
I also lazied out on parts of the body and mostly tried to put detail into the torso area.
For reference https://a.pomf.cat/mmaakc.png
>>342993770
I stated that it was a lie in my post, it was what I said to spare their feelings because while its true I don't know what I want, I know what don't want.

Why the fuck is this shitty fucking thread allowed to be here at all times
Go to fucking /agdg/ you shitlords
>>342993572
first, show examples of their work because I'm curious
the way you get artists on board is through connections. you know people, you post your own work through forums, and spread the word. you set yourself up for a lonely failure, and thats just what you're going to get.
also, if you and the artist don't know what to do, then its never going to work. the artist and a project manager need proper coordination or else one or the other are going to quit through lazy waiting. It happened to me with two other people. I worked with a guy on steam trying to get a game going in UE4 but he didn't know what his game was going to be about at all, and he didn't hire any other artists besides me since he didn't really know what he was doing. the game failed because it was a year since we took off and he pretty much gave up and stayed in his comfy gmod server which he modded constantly instead of making the game.
also post your progress and give links, I want to see.

Why does it look like garbage anon? is there something that looks off? Not the person that made the pixel art but I'm rather curious why it's garbage.
>>342994019
Always criticize anon, don't be afraid to hurt feelings it's the only way improve.
Also why didn't you checked their previous work to know what you were getting
>>342994371
I drew this
>>342993986
Looks pretty good to be honest, but it looks like the head's shading is off (or not there at all) compared to the rest of the body.
Maybe just needs a slightly lighter tone.

thats not bad, keep it up faggot

>>342994882
not that guy but here's a 3D house i made
would you use it in your game?
>>342995278
Try to set up a vase or any object and put it into a room with natural light and draw it and shade it. It sounds stupid but it can help. OR you can draw a sun where the lighting is coming from and continue from there.
>>342994458
Because I'm new, it was my first experiences, and now I understand better.
>>342994278
It's been a few years and I don't remember if I have their artwork on file. I don't remember the tumblr stereotype's profile and the when I checked the other person's DA a couple years ago it was gone. The project is long dead, I just wanted to talk about it and see what I can learn for the future when I start over again.
My plan was to make a Final Fantasy Tactics like game with a heavier emphasis on clan battles with other people than story. As you progressed through the game, the clans you would fight in random battles would be other players teams rather than pre-determined builds.
I had a lot of stuff planned like classes, skills, stats, formulas, tiles, weapon types. I had a functional grid with movement, tiles with status effects, very basic combat, very basic networking etc. I wasn't using Github, but a free repository system elsewhere that shut down so I can't access my code
>>342995285
Not me, I haven't talked to anyone over 4chan about working since that Sugar and Spite 3D platformer game that died (and I didn't even work on it, I just inquired about it)

Idea guys are anyone looking to offer unrealistic idea upon anything they don't know about. Being an artist makes you qualified to have ideas regarding art. Not game design.

>Here ya go boss

>Ya it's much better than a crate
>We need crates though, I told you we needed crates
>But this took more effort than crates did, boss. Why don't you appreciate that I put so much work into it?

I think indie games manipulated my tastes so much I actually find dumb2 pretty.
>>342996697
I'd play it
how do i maek tlisets?
>>342996697
looks fine to me stop being a whiny baby
>>342996697
no one's going to make a 3D model of a crate just because some faggot on /v/ asked them
>>342996697
Did you really expect for someone to take time out of their day to paint and model something for you? the best you're going to get in here are examples of peoples work if that.
>>342996438
No problem, they actually taught me that one in highschool. So it's a good way to start learning how to shade.
>>342996697
I chortled.

>All of these apologists
>>342996930
But it works for yandere dev. Now make me that crate faggot while I make videos whining about time
>>342996435
was planning on maybe moving the shading as the chest moves, perhaps that would help?
>>342996535
yeah the chest needs some work, but i'm not sure if i can do anything with the head besides a forward push every step, any pointers?
Gonna need a source on those pixel boobies.
>>342996430
It is, but 99.999% of everybody who wants to make a game doesn't know even that.
>>342996503
look at how our daughter has grown
so this thread is now "get people to work whit you in a video game"?
Thought about getting someone to do Mega Man-y music, but probably end up attempting it myself. Music just takes so long.
>>342996468
Hope you enjoy working on your project for the next five years.
>>342997276
fucking diaper fetishists
>>342996779he's pretty cute
>>342997276
ignoring the fact that your character is a literal diaper furry, it looks decent
>>342997276
please change the sprite a bit, the underwear makes me uncomfortable.
>>342997368
Anon sometimes it's hard to communicate your idea
So as someone who's working on his own game, where the fuck do I find art people?
I need someone who can draw cute grill and cute boys but /ic/ came up with nothing in the self posting threads. Even the anons in this thread who post art aren't giving contact details.
I feel so lost.
/ic/ didn't get me muc
>>342986170
I have an older brother who makes quite a bit of music. He might be busy, but I will ask if he wants to make the soundtrack for my current game.
>>342986170
i have ideas for games i will never use, no one wants an idea man, so there goes that.
i like to draw, but i've been trying to get better in the last 11 or so years and so far im slightly above DA tier.
>>342986702
this
but for me, im so shit, i'd have to pay YOU for wasting you time on my "art"
>>342997276
Why not give him a suit of power armour or something instead of the underwear?
Other than that it looks good.
>>342997531
>post prototype
>get artists interested
>???
>profit
>>342997276
FURFAGS GET OOOUUUUTTT
>>342996104
the problem is that there's a bunch of shit to draw. This is a full game, so there's characters, backgrounds, inventory items, etc. and while you can draw cute shit, not everything is going to be able to be cute, and you're gonna have to draw a shit ton, because I don't want a game with 1 well drawn character and a bunch of shitty looking stickmen that I drew. Also it's not necessarily pixel art but the image sizes are really small so you won't be able to draw detailedly. I mean, if you understand all that sure, post your email
>>342997531
DeviantArt has a job forum for posting that you need work done or people offering their talents. It's where I found one of my artists whos responsible for this. Alternatively you can message artists you like and venture to other forums
>>342996976
>they actually taught me that one in highschool
I'm still punching myself that I skipped draw classes back in middle and high school.
>>342997387
>>342997429
>>342997498
Briefs, they change color depending on what sub weapon is equipped. Like Mega Man's armor does.
>>342997602
Astroboy ran around in underwear and nobody batted an eye at that. Mega Man is practically underwear + armor pieces.
>>342997656
That was my next step, actually. Not at the demo point so I figured I'd take a shot here considering the thread topic and all.
>>342986170
It's the other way around for me. Great at art design and music, but I'd be so hopeless at actually trying to make a game myself.
>>342997757
Atom was a robot and had no "underwear"
>>342997757
they look like diapers
and even if they arent, it's still a furry character in underwear
>>342997531
i'm going to be real with you, you only have two options
one is to get money and just straight up hire someone, simple. find someone competent that has worked on games before.
second is to do it yourself, actually learn to draw.
that's it. collaborations don't work 99% of the time, especially if it's done online. people disappear on you, there's too many miscommunications, people lose motivation, etc. fact is no one else is ever going to be as passionate as you about your game.
>>342986170
Try learning game design first, 90% of the shit that comes out of /v/ or /agdg/ is uninteresting bland garbage. Often it's just people trying to re make a game they liked or from their favorite genre but without actually understanding how the gameplay systems works and without trying to make any kind of innovation. It's basically these mediocre clones of great games that you see on the app store, play any of these and it's clear the devs have no idea how to make good design, they're often code monkeys who think game design can be done directly into code.
>>342997757
I can see your logic now, anon, and i take back all my hurtful statements
you're a good boy
<3
>>342997276
When you say mega-many music, you mean songs that loop and are about 1 min per loop? I can do that
>>342997276
Nice! This is similar to what I'm working on! (With more character detail that is)
http://gamejolt.com/games/cat-weapon-early-prototype-version/160379
>>342997757
Can you just ignore them and stop trying to rationalize it?
We know you're making a furry bait game. You know it's completely different than MM.
Just keep posting progress.
>>342997757
put a banana hammock on him instead
>>342997757
Boxers would looks way less disgusting, I think.
>>342997076
Add shadow to the face that moves back and force to simulate head turn and have the hair line move slightly.
>>342997276
>That conflict where you want to simultaneously shit on the furry, but also help a promising dev.
The scale of the testing ground looks to be half the size of what it should be. The character looks like a giant. Also, I know you worked hard on the run animation. But considering the speed the sprite is actually moving, that run animation is way over exaggerated.
>>342997531
are you making a porn game? sign me up
>>342997715
sure
>>342996503
I'd like to see and extra evolution of the succubus version.
>>342997757
Just make them look like not diapers
>>342997931
>>342986170
Don't listen to these retards OP.
Participate frequently in game jams and you'll surely meet a bunch of people who can help you later.
>>342997746
STOP
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT INNOCENT WHACKA
>>342997757
if you just want to peddle this game to othe furries the design is fine
If you wanna get the game out to the public you should at least give him some proper clothes because the average person and below-average wierdo aint gonna wanna run around as a half-naked furry
>>342997757
>Astroboy ran around in underwear and nobody batted an eye at that. Mega Man is practically underwear + armor pieces
They weren't sexualised characters meant to cater to fetishists who are fucked up in the head.
>>342997993
Gotta see how long it takes me to try do something upbeat. If I can't manage it in anything resembling a timely manner I'll probably start hunting for someone.
>>342998089
>>342998049
Me and the programmer were joking that getting a new subweapon should change what underwear he's wearing completely. But, that takes a bit more effort than just a palette swap.
>>342998106
Yeah, that tile is just from another game project. The run speed has actually been sped up considerably since I made that GIF.

We're just as much poorfags as you guys and with like half the social skills so cut us a break. :(
>>342996697
You're a funny guy anon.
>>342997754
I'm sad I didn't end up staying after school so my teacher could of helped me make a portfolio. I've been drawing seriously since I was 8 but man, I wish I cared more about it at the time and being like well I've never be an artist for anyone ever. Keep trying and also ask >>>/ic/ for help. It's a good way of getting basic art class.
>>342997757
It doesn't work that wayand most fursuiters wear underwear on top of their fursuit to hid the sheath so it's even worse.
>>342995730
reminds me of this
>>342998295
Not the artist here-desu. But honestly you're being very whiny and contrary over nothing. Just because something features an anthropomorphic animal, doesn't mean it has to be furry shit. It makes you look like a real jackass, thinking everyone would be turned off by it, too. People within the public are not this autistic about animals. It's just a design, and a neat one at that in my opinion, the underwear makes it kind of humorous.
>>342998524
shirtless and pants is perfectly acceptable, just like shirt and pantsless
visible underwear and buck naked is perv shit
>>342997931
Don't worry, I'm not THAT delusional. I got about 500 saved up now and have been budgeting money each month for character art.
>>342997746
Thanks, I'll have to check it out. Deviantart does have some pretty good people aside from the autists.
>>342998108
Sorry, no porn planned. Just waifus and husbandos and ecchi things.
>>342998524
he's wearing pants and shoes, not just briefs
>>342998524
This is a cartoony animal character. Not furfag bait.
While you're on the topic of art what are your thoughts on giving an artist complete creative control over their level? From enemies to its boss
>>342998524
We both know that was a different era and Crash was not lewd at all.
>>342998524
yeah crash is a bit different because
A) he's not in his underwear, he's wearing actual pants
B) he's a clear cut cartoon character and not blatant furry bait
>>342994371
>taking advice from an amatuer that's been stagnating for 8+ years
>>342998635
Oh god, this bait is so tempting. 8/10
I'm awful at everything,but I do have some ideas I want to execute,even If I have the worst drawing skills I feel like I gotta improve,even more so now that I see how much all of you are giving In to your projects,I feel like I have the responsability to athleast execute a little something I could leave the net before I bite the dust. You guys are really an inspiration,but a stressful one, I have to say.Man,your skills scare me dev anons!
I'll try and improve my drawing every few here and there,try and make up my own artstyle(there's not all that much places to learn art except weebtown) and hopefully realise to execute something I could show /v/ In one of those threads,and they'll be like ''Wow,I wouldn't wipe my ass with It,ok job anon!''
I am.
I just don't let it stop me.
>>342998635
>doesn't mean it has to be furry shit.
It literally is, though.
>>342998524
He has pants, is cartoonish and you'd have to reach really far to say he's sexual.
He was also made in a time where furries were basically nonexistent.
>>342998861
Furries have been around since the 50's. Fuck, most 70's science fiction novels featured furry girls on the cover or in the textif only you knew how many of us there really are
>>342995905
Just make it ascii and your autistic community will make the art/tilesets for you

>>342998753
it should be leveled to what the original project manager wants it to be. preferably, I'd say it should fit in with a narrative or story that the main guy wants to show. art is a representation of a vision, after all.
>>342998125
me 2
>>342998829
For how shit your art is it's admirable you've kept working on this for so long.
