Found the source code for my pong. at least i'll have something to post for demo day.
Is it possible to include blood and gore in a pixel art game that doesn't have a super sharp, high-res art style? Does anyone have any examples of this? Games like Slain are always relatively detailed and relatively higher res than the "cutesy" pixel art games. Is there a balance that works?

That's cool if you're learning but no one would really play that, try to make something more personal for your next game because I want to encourage you but have to be honest too.

Just depends on how large your tiles are, and what detail your art's like.
>>121611123
Thanks, of course I made it only to learn. I just realized that with my limited knowledge I could still code all the main features of copter so I gave it a try. I put this together in 2-3 days.
I'm already working on a bigger and more personal game but that's still in the initial stage.
None of you are gonna make it, sorry.
The only way to success is leaving this shithole.

Sorry but devs are still posting here.
>>121611461
agdg is good if you are making ur first game, you can get quick responses here
but if ur a veteren and working with professionals its best to stay away from the nitpickers
>>121610773
what are you trying to do here?
what tech are you using?
None of this makes a difference. Nothing would be different if hopoo never posted here. In fact, it'd probably be better because there wouldn't be people who are only here in hopes of making money and it'd be just a bunch of losers who love making games.
>>121612568
how did he make that gorgeous webm in under 3mb?
captcha is fucking insufferable today
drawing is so hard......
>>121612929
Just make your engine draw for you
Is spritework necessary, or are MS Paint drawings acceptable?
Also how do you even come up with a name for your game? I still haven't managed to come up with one.
>>121609298
Progress: Player movement
Things to do - Change sprite depending on general direction, friction, figure out what this game will be.

>>121612659
It's just that I finally made the visualizer for engine power and torque curves appear in-game. I've had it for editors since the beginning but for some reason didn't get around to having it in the shopping menus.

I'm guessing because the background is static a lot of the time.
If only small parts of an image change each frame, each takes up less space and you can fit more in.

>>121616345
You call that excessive?
hmmm hmm

that screenshot is a poor example of excessive blood, i was just showing that it was there
>crusader kings 2 meets dragon commander meets victoria 2 meets king of dragon pass meets civilization
>>121617208
what is that, just a simple overlay? how od you determine where blood lands and is drawn?
>>121616668
I think google A.I. does that deliberately to learn from users. Basically we teach it how to recognize things.
>>121613262
Progress: player icon faces towards direction of movement, friction in place but no speed limit - Up for debate
Probably gonna go for bullet hell or asteroids clone
Things to do - Make the screen center on the player, make sure the player can't leave the room, add something to do.
Throw ideas
>>121617304
it's pasted into the background on the exact frame it's destroyed. splatters move in random directions at random speeds out of a certain range and then are picked/destroyed on random frames.

I think you mistaken this for tumblr desu.
writing shaders is a skill like any other and you can get pretty good results after you learn abit. it just has a way harder start than any other gamedev related skill i think so far, but after you get past this start the results can be pretty amazing

Progress: Player stays in center of viewscreen, if the player reaches the border of the room it loops them back round, reached warpspeed, so speed limit soon unless somebody justifies why not
Things to do - Add speed limitand increased speed powerup/ability, experiment with powerups, make screen size custom scalable.

Any time I don't post progress for a fair amount of time I run out of steam. Fourth project, want it to come to fruition rather than be kill.

desu most amateurs/small indies are used to trade localization with other devs, usually on tig or other forums
i would find something else to do on top of localization, like marketing/PR.
Can I add a year's salary to mykickstarterand use it to fund my lifestyle while doing my dev work? Is that considered legit there?
>>121620654
If you're asking a question like that maybe you shouldn't be running a Kickstarter campaign
>>121620654
What the fuck do you think a kickstarter is for?
>>121620526
True anon, but you don't see Portuguese localization anywhere (besides big companies that will jew you for a low quality work), and Brazil has a big vidya market
>>121620654
only if you have enough previews
you also have to make good goals

i always just assumed that people picked arbitrary amounts of money that they wanted to steal and then produced half-assed projects that kinda sorta checked all of the boxes they set for themselves and then spent so long doing it that most people forgot about the money they lost so the project creators would get to keep most of it
This took me half a year. I am very proud of it, I really expect you to like it

I only ask because Cavern Kings only raised like $10k or $15k and there's no way I could survive on that for a fucking year. It we were talking $30k it'd be doable and $50k would be ideal
but I'm not gonna sell everything I own and live like a college kid to make some shitty video game
did he even have any demo when he first launched the kickstarter?
>>121615627
That doesn't look that terrible, its pretty clear whats going on
>>121623406
>but I'm not gonna sell everything I own and live like a college kid to make some shitty video game
Not going to make it, sorry. step aside
>>121623494
yeah, it is going on some "It needs temporal variables"
>>121623406
unless you hire someone to produce previews for you, there is a slim chance for raising 30k
>>121623797
how'd hopoo raise 30k? can't I just post a bunch of teaser videos of what I've got already?
I'm trying to fund a port of mymobile gameto steam
>>121623406
If you're already making 30-50k why are you trying to break into indie videogames?
>>121623406
It all depends on your game. If you show us your game we'll tell you how much you might be able to get.
>>121623993
because i like it?
>>121623970
No one wants to play mobile games on their PC
>>121623970
no you have to do a really baller page
real life interviews make the project more believable
>you will never make a game as good as Bloodborne
Why even dev?
>>121617292
you left out the eye of the dragon
bonus cookie points for even knowing about dragon commander
>>121624223
But I am, flam...
>>121624197

>>121624149
So do it as a hobby?
>>121624149
But not enough to commit to it. Step it up.
>>121624223
but bloodborne took a whole team a shitton of time to make
>>121624223
What did you like about it so much?
as an indie dev it's important that you allocate your limited time and resources effectively
:)
>>121624348
just go through kickstarter videos
>>121624691
>shitton of time
Wasn't it like half a year?
>>121622114
beaks aren't made of jelly
>>121624959
Started development in 2012.
>>121624789
My life is pointless, I may as well perfect this control scheme
>>121624959
Development of Bloodborne began as development was being completed on the Prepare to Die edition of Dark Souls, released in August 2012. Sony Computer Entertainment approached FromSoftware concerning cooperative development on a title, and director Hidetaka Miyazaki asked about the possibility of developing a game for eighth-generation consoles. The concept of Bloodborne developed from there. There were no connections to FromSoftware's previous titles, even though Miyazaki conceded that it "carries the DNA of Demon's Souls and its very specific level design".[47] Development ran parallel to that of Dark Souls II.[48]
straight from wiki
>>121625074
I could make BB ripoff in a month
>>121624719
Setting, combat, music, enemies and especially level design. It has a few flaws but it's almost a perfect game imo

>>121624197
>>121624163
>>121624116
ok say this is my game and i want to make a sequel or something with double the features
how much are we talking kickstarter-wise
>>121625421
it lacks replayablility bigtime
>>121625541
50k TOP
>>121625541
its gonna be hard, that game got big because its multiplayer not because it looks particularly good. but if your art is this good right now id say you can get 15k id say. compare to this game for instance https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ericsmack/doko-roko, which was shilled by all indies alive right now and went up at the right time to do kickstarter. your game probably looks worse than this and wont be shilled by all indies in the universe, so you'll just get less
>>121625561
replayability has no bearing on the quality of the game whatsoever
>>121625879
i should just kill myself
Been fucking busy with this shit to be able to pump this out when demo day 5 starts.
I'll make it.
r8 my new level up effect.
>somebody tries to help me
>they use a bunch of technical terms that I don't know the meaning of
>too afraid to ask what they're talking about
>only way out is to quit posting for a while
>>121626087
you should have realistic expectations about your game. if your game doesnt look amazing you shouldnt do a kickstarter anymore. that ship has sailed, it isnt viable if your game doesnt look very passable. if you showed me a screenshot i could tell you if it does or doesnt
I just realized my idea to have different rates at which objects calculated their physics wont work that way I was doing it in Unity so I need to scrap a shit ton of ideas I had
>>121626159
I like this effect the best of all the ones I've seen, but the time freeze should probably be more like 1/10th of a second. Not one second.
>>121626087
just make a good production
don't be like those indies that just post gameplay and make white on black text in between
even make in engine cutscenes just for that thing alone
>>121626329
>tfw more beta online even more than in real life
I know how you feel, man
>>121626337
so what's the new in thing?
like I said above my game'sa mobile gameso I'd have to rig up my capture card or use theios simulator :^)but it looks at least as good as hammerwatch even though i'm only like 10% finished
but what do you even mean by "looks good"? visuals only?
>>121626701
>so what's the new in thing?
stop. the only way you'll make a good game is if you're passionate about the genre
>>121626701
yes visuals only. also, the new thing is making a good, solid game and creative game that gives people something they cant play elsewhere. you do this through effort, hard work, good taste and creativity.
>>121625916
it failed where des, das and even lesser das2 succeeded.
it also comes out as way too edgy
levels/textures and combat are sex, gehrman fight is sex, but it just has something lacking compared to other games. guess they come off more realistic with the light and the dark while bloodborne is just dark n edgy. I guess I can't call it a flaw since the whole game in the end suggests you where dreaming the whole thing and thus the edgy fits in like a glove.Or at least that's my take on it, no need to start a theory war here.
>>121626159
make the outline grow and expand outwards or something, or flicker, make everything except the level up effects freeze. otherwise it looks like you are just lagging.
>>121626891
your posts suck

Progress: Scalable viewport by the player (Took a bit of poking to remove the letterboxing), added in speed limit (starts at 25 speeds), added in speed limit increaser powerup (adds 5 speeds to speed limit), added in helpful pointy-towards-powerup arrow
Known bugs: helpful pointy-towards-powerup-arrow doesn't want to be helpful
Things to do - Fix bugs, add more powerups, fiddle with hitboxes to make powerup collection easier.
Should I make it so it's just on proximity rather than on collision?
>>121620008
In GM there's 2 pre-made events for it ( I did it via add event, other, outside room (Move, jump, wrap screen, both directions), but codewise you could do thisCan't easily format in reply boxes, send help
rx1 = 0
ry1 = 0
rx2 = (room maximum width)
ry2 = (room maximum height)
if x<rx1{
x=rx2-1
}
if x>rx2{
x=rx1+1
}
if y>ry1{
y=ry2-1
}
if y<ry2{
y=ry2+1
}Kinda did that off the top of my head. If it don't work then sorry.
>>121620118
If I go for speeds, I gotta have some content for speeds, and may alienate those who can't handle fast. Now it's up to the player if they want to go fast.
Next image reply is next background. Will code ideas for contents.

Yes! CotM is great. It's like classic castlevania games but with open world. Kinda like CV2, but not shitty.

Looks pretty cool. Too much bloom going on though.
Post your best "_____ except it's multiplayer" ideas.
Quick! Someone convince me not to make a turn-based multiplayer browser game using wildly inappropriate technology!

Cool effect. A good sound to go with it is important.

was Cavern Kings ready before the kickstarter?
>Come back to game after 3 months no-dev period
>Look at the code
>See the problem I had before I no-devved
>Realize why I gave up
Should I try to fix this problem or should I just delete everything to do with it and write new code from scratch?
>>121630139
Cavern Kings had a demo with barely anything in it . Yet it was still addicting to play.
Then the kick starter happened. Northernlion covered it on his streams with a good outlook.
>>121629890
How old game Slain even is? I've been working on this over year now.
>>121630139
It was pretty much feature complete with little content.
>>121630491
>>121630443
And now it's dead in the water with less than 10k players and $1k in actual revenue. Thus is the fate of the very best and brightest that /agdg/ has to offer.
Never forget it.
pugdev here starting another project, wonder how long this one will keep my attention.
should I learn c++ for UE4 or is the pseudocode template learnable enough?
>>121630290
Problem solving is a skill. Restarting from scratch is for faildevs.
>>121631067
pugdev? what is your game pugdev?
>>121631067
I thought you found a programmer for lemmings thing
>>121631067
I hope this is satire, I hope this is not pugdev dropping yet another game

>>121631067
Aw, I liked that lemmings game.
>>121631067
how did you get from uncles to this art-wise?
>>121631213
i did for about a week then he decided he wanted to focus on schoolwork (he is a student at digipen) then I decided I wanted to remain a 1MA
>>121631220
i know, funny stuff amirite?
>>121624353
Not him, but is it even possible to game dev as a hobby?
I barely have time for vidya itself when I get back from work, do I have to stop playing altogether so I can dev?
>>121631067
RIP lemmings
>>121631596
I love you pugdev my man
>>121631067
I'm going to kick your ass m8
Now this right here is some serious motherfucking progress
Holy shit I can't believe it actually worked

If you want to do it as a hobby it becomes the only thing you do in your free time.
You don't play video games anymore, you don't watch movies anymore, you just dev on your game. You don't have weekends where you rest anymore, you have weekends where you work even harder than at your job.

>>121631378
me too but i really dont have time to learn 2 program and make it and art it all at the same time. Plus i didnt quite like how it played, if i return to it later i have some ideas on how to make it work (tip: i wont return to it later)
>>121631537
i can do different arts, its my main strength i think. After voice acting, thats my #1 talent as agdg will agree.
