How's that game you are working on?
It has become a burden upon me
>>344851930
>>344851930
>tfw i suck at math
I'll start on it tomorrow.
>Start making a RPG Maker game
>Realize to accomplish my goal I would need to have like 50 different pages for every event and only so much could be copy pasted 12 hours in
this was harder then expected

I know some guys will scoff at me, but I have no knowledge of anything passed algebra. I don't think math is worth putting THAT much stock into unless it's essential for your career path. I mean, why does the average joe need to know how to do shit with imaginary numbers? I mean, I'm all for challenging students and showing different routes in problem solving, but how practical is that stuff in the average man's average day?
>>344851930
>How's that game you are working on?
I have about 8 different ideas for games and a very poor understanding of Game Maker's GML despite using the program for over 10 years (I was about 11 in 2004, that's when I first started using GM)
i'm always too lazy to do anything after my soul sucking job takes away all my energy, so i end up shitposting the entire night
I gave up a long time ago
>>344853430
this.
>>344853824
Stop fapping. That built up sexual energy will want a way out and you can channel it into creativity.
>>344854220
I still do creative things, just never enough of it to make a significant dent or amount of progress. I have been teaching myself traditional animation for the last couple of years and I could always work on drawing humans better. Anyway, best of luck to everyone
>>344854220
I tried that. All I end up doing is drawing porn instead of working on my game.
>>344851930
I made a game where you are a blue block shooting yellow blocks at red blocks. Probably the most I'll ever accomplish in my life.;_;
>>344857069
holy shit, GOTY
just call it shooting spree and watch the money roll in
>>344857069
>>344858029
Call it "Red Blocks Matter" and watch the dosh roll in
Working on animations for my necromancer game. Design documents are complete so I'm getting serious in Unreal Engine 4 now.
>>344858703
Block Lives Matter already exists.
>>344859748
Ah twizzledicks. Here I thought I was clever.
>>344857069
That's pretty good. Add a background (space background), and use sprites for the blue block and red blocks and you got yourself a base for a game. Don't forget to make the blocks you shoot round and smaller.
I had the stomach flu and missed almost a week of working on it
That's my excuse
What do the other three intersections correspond to? Green one is Architecture I guess, but what about the others?
>>344851930
>Math, Art, Masochism
>Not "Faggotry, More Faggotry, and Ultimate Faggotry"
shamefur dispray
>>344861480
But OP wanted to talk about game dev, not your sex life.
>>344861332
Math and Masochism is probably Linear Algebra. Art and Masochism is probably Animation.
>>344861668
>Linear Algebra
That's part of math though.
>>344861582
#REKT
>>344861480
>>344853591
You're not wrong at all. A big hoax from the last 20 years is you must have all these core skills that will never be used in your profession.
>>344861716
And masochism too.
>>344861480
it doesn't say "indie game dev of story focused games"
>>344861794
>oh yes master, I've been a bad boy, punish me, give me non-integer, nearly-singular matrices to invert
>>344853591
Maths should quit at basic formulae solving then offer a choice to dig deeper, stick with analytical stuff or do another subject entirely.
>>344851930
I'm currently wondering whether it is sensible or madness to drop WebGL and instead use Vulkan for a game.
>>344861979
>Vulkan
>for a game small enough to use WebGL
>>344861928
What you learn in primary and secondary IS basic maths.
>>344862078
Is Vulkan not lightweight?
I really don't know much about it.
>>344851930
I'm more of an idea guy.
>>344862226
Then why would you be wondering if you should use it?
>>344862226
It's lightweight in the sense that C or assembler is lightweight.
But you shouldn't use those unless you need performance and fine-tuned control.
>>344862180
And? Most concepts taught are fucking useless unless you do science-related stuff. I'm two years deep in a chemistry degree and haven't put into practice 90% of the stuff that was deemed "essential". I even picked Advanced Maths as my optional subject and the only thing it gave me was a headache, because it's fucking useless.
>>344862476
Study for something that's not a literal meme degree next time and maybe you'll understand.
>>344851930
Started on some opengl.
Found out SDL is a cpu muncher when using opengl so I've switched to win32 api.
>>344861894
Glad you got the point.
>>344862254
I've heard good things about it, and if it's not much harder to use I might use it.
>>344862323
I do need fine tuned control, particularly with the geometry and the shaders.
Althought that might be the same for both WebGL and Vulkan.
Performance too.
>>344862624
Every degree is a meme, at least I chose one that I enjoy.
>>344854220
>That built up sexual energy will want a way out and you can channel it into creativity.
this is such bullshit
>>344862746
I wasn't expecting this reply.
>>344851930
>entry-level algebra and calculus
>math
>>344862762
That's literally basic you stupid bitch.
>>344854220
Bullshit. If I can't release it, fapping is the only thing I end up thinking about. Needless to say this doesn't help one fucking bit.
>>344862818
Even pic related counts as maths.
>>344862746
Very true my nigga
>>344862862
*basic Freud
too much dyslexia and not enough coffee
>>344862805
Neither does anyone in my class, they all picked it because the pay is good and jobs are easy to land or are physics/maths rejects that dislike biology, but they all fucking hate it.
At least they're not wasting away in social/art studies.
>>344862993
Too bad Freud was wrong on almost everything.
>>344851930
Add the fuckin title to the thread!!!
>>344863113
>>344863147
Wrong, it's 0. Do you even PEMDAS?
>>344863267
Hold on...
>>344863113
>>344863147
>>344863267
Wrong in all aspects, it's 523, ya'll need some Common Core in your lives.

when its just add and sub, don't you just go from left-right?

hol up
Tell me more
>>344863169
Wasn't his answer to every problem basically "your mother" ?
>>344863376
You're an average guy living a shit life, you get a suspicious book possessed by some spirit that teaches you how to animate the dead. You eventually use said dead as workforce to build your secret hideout and slowly take over the land, expand your structures to be able to field more troops, equip them with advanced stuff until you can take over the land.
>>344863460
Sounds neat. What kind of game is it? Mount & Blade: Skellington edition?
>>344862862
>>344862993
doesn't stop it from being wrong
>>344863460
Any zombie sex?
>>344863512
Sort of. Def inspired of Mountain Blade and quite a bit of Dungeon Keeper with a lot of management options. Basically the gameplay loops from accomplishing missions => get resources to expand your hideout => unlock more troops/better equipment/new tech/skill specialisations => able to take on more ambitious objectives
>>344863459
Either "your mother" or "your penis", yeah.
But his most basic concepts (like the id/ego/superego) have been rejected by most modern scientists, and are only cited by people who are trying to sound smart. His biggest achievement was to rekindle study of the human psychology basically.
>>344863620
>id/ego/superego rejected
Really? There a link to this? Or perhaps you could tell me if you already know?
>>344851930
Slowly, because of finals ;_;
Began this tutorial series though (on request from some people here and /vg/AGDG):

It might not be awesome, but I hope some of you find it useful.
All I can do is draw animu girls, coding and music making are the hardest things to create. I just can't comprehend it.
Pls kill me
>>344863972
I'm not a primary English speaker and I couldn't cite you something in English but basically there is no evidence for most of Freud's concepts. Even in the field of psychoanalysis (which isn't exactly a science, even when compared to, say, psychology) there are many theories that contradict Freud.
>>344864736
Draw anime hentai girls and change it by music.
I can do music.
How hard would it be to start making an FPS, even if it was super basic?
>>344866098
>start UE4
>FPS is literally pre-made for you
pretty easy
>>344866098
Hard, because muh animation, muh configure weapons, etc...
>>344866098
you cant really say that, its depending on your own skill, for new programmers this will probably take quiet a long time because you have to read in your libraries if you want to use some (writing an own 3d game library will be super hard)
>>344853824
Take a caffeine pill when you're about to get off work
>>344866147
>>344866208

Fuck it. Might as well try.
Its not like spending all my time shitposting on /v/ achieved anything.

>tfw I suck at math
>and programming
>and art
I can only write, so I may as well make a shitty film instead.
>>344867381
Make a tumblr powerpoint like Depression Quest. Claim a girl has made the game making your game incriticable.
>>344867381
You could make a VN, you hardly need art for that and the programming is really simple.

For any programmers looking for ideas.
Here's my master plan.
>Get good at porn art
>Start drawing popular characters to make a name for myself
>Get decent at programming
>Make porn game
>Keep it in development hell while setting up a patreon
>????
>Profit
>>344863609
Sounds pretty great. I look forward to seeing stuff in these threads.
>>344851930
math + art = architecture designer
math + machoism = rocket scientist
art + machoism = artist who depends on comissions
is it possible to become a programmer without knowing a lot of math? please answer
>>344851930
What can i use to make a simple 2d game without using a preexisting game engine?
>>344870139
Yes
Giant patriot robot's animations are done for fall and landing. Tweaking effects atm, will post webm later
>>344870253
SDL, SFML, Monogame, Allegro.
im currenntly in the planning phase of making a sci fi rouge-lite platformer
im an art fag but since my current team is two people i handle the writing and creative process too
as for the music im going for vaporwave/future funk
y/n?
also where would i go about finding someone who knows how to do that style of music
>>344870371
Supreme Trump?
>>344866098
unity will get you there in a night if you follow one of their big tutorial projects (pajama shooter one).
You do have to power through and follow along a good 2-3 hours of tutorials though.
I'm currently just prototyping with free assets in Unreal, trying to see how feasible making a certain type of game is. From there, I'll start phasing in actual assets made from scratch.
Trying to find working gunless third person animations is a fuckin bitch though. A lot of the ones I've found so far have weird frame skipping issues when looping
>>344861582
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>344863460
how do you plan to do your pathfinding? How many units on screen at the same time are we talking? What's the ressource, souls? Bodies?
I'm trying to come up with concept art for characters and pretty much anything and some semblance of story.
I'm watching tutorials on 3D modeling andUnityat the same time.
I have accepted learning how to make a game is going to take a lot of time, but hey, I'm still young!
is unity a meme utility? should i learn c# or basic? i already know like a billion assembly languages but making games in assembly is too fucking tedious
>>344871965
there are times you'll think it's bullshit, that everything you do is shit, that you're not getting better
but you are, just keep going. Work smarter, not harder
procrastinating because gamedev is pure compressed pain
>>344872058
Thanks for the encouragement. I got into this last summer for the first time, since I had a bit more free time then, and went ahead and got some basics about C# down. But I think I am improving.
I hope I'll get to post some work in time.
>>344872193
Try contributing to an open source game first.
It's a good way to gain experience and ease self into the process.
Possibly also learn inner workings of an existing engine to understand how to start.
