Why aren't you making a game, Yea Forums?

blueprints

Can't code, can't art

I'm not sure if I even like to make games. I've made a game before but I think that the really gamey stuff is something that I just don't have much creativity for. I like drawing and stuff like that so I'll probably just stick to that in the future.

because i dont want to

you can learn

I am but it's mobile and does not contain waifus so Yea Forums wouldn't like it.

how do i get better at art

I have some electives to fill in Uni. I took a coding course, I was pretty good at it but it was super basic stuff and I don't have much of a math background. I can't risk my GPA pursuing it. I might take a 3D modeling class though, it looks fun and I need a creative outlet. 90% of the offered electives are
>History of woman and Islam
>Learning the Rich Culture of Africa
>Politics, Immigration, and Police Brutality
So just taking random shit to learn the basics of a skill is pretty alright.

I have zero ideas, zero skill related to developing a game, and zero artistic skills.

because I haven't met someone with similar goals and interests to make my furry VR sex sim

I played through Cave Story on hard last weekend and it really got me in the mood to pick up game dev again and just hammer out some neat jumping and shooting physics, play around with it a bit and take it from there without any grand plans in mind.

I get spammed on twitter on the regular with various amateur VA or music composers.

Just filter by indiedev hashtag and spread the word.

2d retro wankery sells pretty damn well

But 2 chords song is real music then.
Because music anybody wants to listen is 2-3 chord crap.

Nice shrooms user

Pandering to lowers common denominator is nothing to be proud of.

I remember seeing the untextured version and the absurd tri count, what kind of game is this gonna be for ?

Sucking big companies' dicks is nothing to be proud of either

Neither is sitting on a high horse pretending you're better than others

should i learn to code before i make a game or is it something I can learn while I make the game?

Agreed but its still better than making Retro Inspired 16 bit game number 31654156123 for 15 dollars now on sale for 5 on steam.

is there something 100% coding based like monogame but slightly higher level and less annoying? I hate unity and I'm looking for something new

Actually no, if that's your passion in life, go for it. Far better than jerking off and shitposting on Yea Forums. Plus you actually have a chance to produce a solid game eventually - every artist is shitty at first

Get some basics so you're not gonna do dumb shit.

I'd advice you to stick to Monogame/XNA/FNA (they are all the same anyway) since it's the perfect level of letting you do shit on your own while taking care of the low-level stuff, but if you insist, maybe try out one of the JavaScript frameworks (or vanilla JS)?

They dont sell their practice art tho.

Just started with Godot here, how can I make a sprite (let's call it sprite_01) move to the left when I press the left key? Using GDScript btw

Oh please
Our of the thousands of 8bit 2d indieshit platformers hitting the steam store, how many make the dev actual money?

Now how many make so much that the dude who made it earned at least about 10 dollars per hour spent developing it?

Do you even RJ?

I fucking around in Unity because I don't know what to do, I am thinking about a waifu dressing game because my gf can draw the art for me but I don't really like that kind of games

The free tutorial is absolute dogshit

Lack of documentation is the only significant issue I see brought up.

That's a pretty big issue

And the documentation they have is not that good as well

I need some ideas for a game. I am a full time application developer and I have experience with unity back during college. I have a 2D artist to help so I am limited to 2D stuff.

Nothing. But there's absolutely nothing that it does that isn't done better than by other engines.

its only 200k before its optimized. VR mech sim.

I'll try it later, thx. btw, does this "animate" in a smooth way? Like, if I hold down the key, it's only a constant movement without acceleration?

So, it's not bad for someone learning gamedev?

holy fuck, adds in reply window now? fuck you 4channel im out u pieces of shit

Here's the thing user, you don't have to know everything. Renaissance men like Pixel are super rare. Most solo devs have a good vision and then do their best to realize it. If no one can see how shit your codebase is it doesn't matter

If you're strictly choosing an engine based on the learning materials, you don't pick some obscure engine with no games

game with permadeath where you start fully clothed but the further through the game you the lewder it gets. if you're good enough to beat the final boss you get an H-scene

Yeah it is.
It took me way too long to figure out how to import a textured cube from blender.

It has it's own code language which is shitter level at best. You won't know how to work on anything else outside of it as you would with another language such as C++.

Some day

I like coding and can sort of art... I've always wanted to design games or animate but had to choose a different major recently so I could secure a living

Is it possible to do it as a hobby?

The games I wanted to make have already been done by others.

Like you, you fat nerd.

it's just a bunch of hitboxes and animations

One of the artists I use actually does some lewd and hentai stuff. I have considered making a game like that, but I don’t really want that to lead back to me.

>I like coding
It's called programming kiddo and no you don't.

Attached: 1313.png (594x422, 207K)

In this case yes, since you're adding a fixed ammount to the sprite's position.x value with each frame, the end result is a linear function.
Iw you wanted to do acceleration you can either replace += speed with a quadratic function or have your input add to a speed variable which is then added to the sprite's location.
You should read a little on linear algebra, it will make shit like this easier

No skills, no ideas, no ambition and no reason to.

anybody want skullgirls + dlc on steam? i can just post it here or give me an email

Because I'm too autistic and want to make my own engine but then get pretty overwhelmed when I start making my own engine.

Can't you use other 2 languages for the scripting part? I'm pretty sure I saw the option to use C# in the UI

Your game looks great.

that's what im doing now but there's a whole bunch of cool shit like anim cancels and abusing certain things like how dante in DMC4 can do a shoyuken and hitting DT in the right frame buffs his attack by alot
Ive been watching MikeZ's vids on how he did Skull Girls so it kinda gives me an idea

Not creative enough.
I worked on an RPG Maker game for about 3 years, on and off, and then my hard drive crashed. Lost all my shit, so I gave up.

You'll never make a AAA game working on it in your spare time as a hobby. But with a realistic scope, it's absolutely possible to produce something. Eventually.

That sounds pretty cool I will look into that! Thanks user!

M8 who the fuck wants to use C++ to write game scripts? The point of Godot is that you DON'T have to program your own engine in a low level language and can focus on scripting. Also it has experimental C# support.

My issue with anything is my disability to turn my ideas into actual things.

I see fantastic paintings in my head for example. I just can't transfer them from my mind to a sheet of paper.
Same thing with games. I sure don't lack ideas. I just don't know how to make them.

RPG Maker for WRPGs.

Thx a lot, I'll try to make an application just to test the values before using in the engine

Ideas are nothing if you can't create something out of them. If you're desperate you can pay someone to work on the the concepts you have in mind

unreal engine you dingus, its node-based programming. So instead of writing code, you are using node objects to connect and modify your objects.

I want to make the game because there's nothing like it that I could already play. I have a patreon because I want to work on it full time someday.

gamemaker studio is probably one of the better game creating software thats easy to get into.

though if you cant even understand that then just dont bother with anything else because youre too dumb.

finished product isn't practice. it may not be great but it's not just practice. and artist sell their not so great art too. solo dev rewrites code thousand of times and artist doodles thousand of times. and no one is great right of the bat.

Small on top and it's only currently on Patreon that I started in late December so it's still pretty early in development

Thanks anons i'll give it a try, why the fuck not if i ever actually make a game i'll put you in the credits as user#50 and #Anon13

I have no real usable skills in neither coding or modeling, or writing. I absolutely refuse to just be an idea guy and even if I wanted to be one, my ideas are too obscure and too degenerate that I'd ever find the right people to work for me without a proper foundation to lure them in with.

So I'm gonna learn modeling, and maybe try to pick up on some basic coding when I have modeling down, and then start something in Unity. If I manage to get the foundation for at least one of my ideas down to a solid proof of concept I can show people, I'm sure I could find the right people who'd want to help me work on it.

I've been doing a bunch of beginner models using blender and been enjoying it. I hope I can learn to do a warehouse kinda game.

why not. i felt like fighting game for some time now

Want to make a roguelike that uses a tetris inventory system. Playing with Godot and learning how it works, but I'm wondering if it'll be the best choice for it. I'm a brainlet, so a tetris inventory system seems like a good challenge for me to try and do.

>want to make my own game
>instantly turned off by the knowledge that at best I'd some day be able to create another 8bit retro platformer.

I loathe 8bit platfotmers. I understand why so many indie games are like that, obviously, but still.

licensing

Everyone has to start somewhere. It's still a good starting point if you're learning the engine you're using and getting a understanding how it works and interacts since you're focused on implementing one or two real mechanics.
You could also go with something like a SHUMP or a Roguelike if you really don't want to make a platformer.

That is interesting

start learning 3D modeling then

Gamemaker Studio 2 is great but don't get lured into DnD system (drag and drop). GM has it's "own" language GML that's easy enough to get into if you have some programming experience and with that you can have more control over your code. I'd recommend playing with Python first just to understand how programming actually works.
Both Python and GM have big communities with a lot of tutorials so it's very easy to find solutions to a lot of problems when you get stuck. And good luck.

as opposed to what, a walking sim?

because why would i make a game when i can get ur dumb ass to do it for me. I'm not gonna enjoy playing a game that i made myself.

Real reason is because I don't have an audience to enjoy it.
The closest I came to creating a full game is some very large Neverwinter Nights custom modules that include a lot of custom scripting etc. I've found that creating games requires a personality that enjoys the process of making games and not necessary the praise of making that game. There's also the fact that as you increase the complexity of the project to reach what you imagine the game should be, you need so many more resources.

More sound design, more assets, more scripts, custom art. Reworking a game engine to start doing things it was never designed to do. It's simply easier to make D&D 5e or Pathfinder campaigns with the same amount of effort and way more payoff.

I'm doing a 16-bit action platformer instead of a 8-bit platformer or puzzle-platformer for my first project. Something more like Megaman X/Zero rather than Mario. I believe it's a way less tired market, even if the genres appear similar at first glance.

Does anyone know when the next source engine comes to light?

I'm working on my art.

It's already out.

Because the last thing this world needs is another mediocre guy making a shitty game on Unity.

We could probably use more

a lot of "I want to" for so little "I am doing"

But only on their terms isn't it? You can't download the SDK and make games with it.

You have to start somewhere. Atm I'm making game inspired by MGS: Ghost Babel but after maybe 3 more projects I want to make X-COM like game. I just know that i don't have enough knowledge and experience now so I make something easier to get practice. But then again I pour everything into it. I want to make games that I'd like to play and not just some cashgrabbers.

I don't have even the most basic ideas on how to draw anything. How can I create assets for my game then? Any sort of programs for complete fucking retards to help them shit out something at least proper?

Learn to draw.

You should learn some basic event driven program in python/java because the concepts are universal. Don't waste your time with data structures and memory management as a beginner it will take to long to learn.

kronbits.itch.io/pixatool
it's a nice lil program that will save you a lot of time

Yeah I'm making a game and it's going great but the last two times I posted it here people started shitting on it, so I don't think I'll post it anymore

draw worlds, draw characters, draw just anything with different styles maybe you can become a concept artist or level designer

Post some art you made

well some data structures are really helpful and in most cases essential
it's late into the thread so most of lazy fucks went on to shit somewhere else. post it

The only type of game I'm interested in making is text adventure porn like CoC, but even that is beyond my ability.

I honestly don't think it's going to happen now. Either they revamp it and it's already source 2.5, or they just stop doing it for the public.

They missed a huge modding possibility by not including blueprint-like system into Source 2 and letting it loose with some template assets.

you gotta get used to people shitting on it, be able to extract actual relevant criticism amongst the crapshoot and improve from it, or else you'll at best be one of those devs that go on twitter meltdowns after releasing their game. At worst your game will be actual shit and no one will even bother to talk about it.

The best day to start cultivating a thick skin is today

That's because your game is shit, you should probably fuck off too.

I'm making a Megaman classic + X-like game called Alphaman. Honestly, it started as a way to learn Godot and make a baby's first platformer, but it's feeling pretty fun. Going to go with 4 robot masters and a hand full of "Wily" levels before moving on to a more true "X-like" with more originality.

To be honest, I thought that's what they are working for the whole time. To counter the Unreal Engine and tackle the epic store shenanigans.

Not enough features to compete with most other engines.
Poor language support.
Poor documentation.

Lowest common denominator is AAA shit you absolute blithering retard.

you don't, just set a default resolution and work at that.

Are you fucking blind?

I recognize that crying kobold eye!

>be able to extract actual relevant criticism
What if it's never actual criticism and just "it's shit"? That's what I'm talking about. Every time I post it a lot of people will say it looks good, but then there's always someone that shit on it without giving me any reason why

No, it's well liked on other sites

Don't get into engine-dev. Just spend time experimenting with engines and pick the best one for your needs.

This right here. Indie and AA games are leagues ahead of shitty, focus tested, heavily marketed, AAA tripe. The amount of retards on Yea Forums who conflate every single indie game with shit like Gone Home now, while praising AAA fecal movements, just shows how full of dumbass normalfags this place has become.

How hard would it be for me to make a game that looks at least like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate?

I'm working on a Mirror's Edge inspired game where a colorblind girl does parkour but I still don't have the story of why she's running and probably won't keep the color blind aspect. Maybe

Because instead of posting your game, you're bloggin about your feelings.

Even some enginedev copypasta is more welcoming that whining.

I can program and have ideas but absolutely 0 artistic aptitude. It really dampens the motivation when you realize you can't make your game look like anything, and have no way to pay other people to make assets

ok sorry

UE4 is free and I think they only take a 5% royalty from your game's revenue.

I make mods for Doom from time to time, but it's more like an idea I get and then execute and then forget about for a year or so until I get the next idea.

So far I made a bowl of piranhas that eat enemies, a mod that lets you pet Cacodemons (which somebody else improved), an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard skin, the judge's Lawgiver and did a shitty port of level 1-1 of Turok 2.

Pro Artist here, your environments are pretty nice! Your strongest piece there is the lilypad one.
You could use some more color variation on the cave one but it still looks nice.
Your character art needs a ton of work though.
It screams "I have no fundamentals if you were to ask me to draw a real human face I'd fall apart" vibe.
Which is a massive red flag for anybody looking to hire you.

What is pic related? I wanna work on something like that.

Sounds retarded

I'm learning how! I'm gonna make some pixelshit 2D Zelda clone and shit it out with Unity! I can't draw well so pixelshit helps me make sure my character's left eye looks like her right eye. C# isn't too hard to learn either.

Really, I'm just really inspired by the game design of Hyper Light Drifter.

>your environments are pretty nice!
Not with that perspective and lack of value control.

He does have a point to be honest. Yea Forums is the place to go if you want raw unfiltered feedback. A lot of those posts are indeed gonna be "It's shit", but most of the time if people just say it's shit without prodividing feedback it just means they aren't interested in your type of game at its core. They are not your audience, so just ignore them.

Now if absolutely everyone is saying it's shit, then you need to ask why it's shit. Chances are you might be doing some basic mistake, your game just doesn't look appealing, or maybe your game is lacking in creativity. Asking what people dislike about it is then a good way to figure out what people want from your game

But if all you want to hear is positivity, then literally just go to reddit and read the most upboated posts.

They're mobile-game tier, which means he's actually hire-able.
The Faux-isometric look is good enough for most games of that kind.

There are a handful (LISA, Corpse Party, To the Moon, Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, etc). A few of them are pretty great, but that's mostly in spite of the gameplay and not really because of it. Then there's the thousands of hgames made with RPG Maker, which has the same problem of shit gameplay just used as an obstacle to get to the h-scenes.

Honestly, if anyone in this thread is serious about making an RPG (turn based or otherwise), I'd recommend learning to program and using a real engine instead of RPG Maker. It's really not that difficult to make a turn based battle system, and you can easily get much better gameplay out of your own system than you would from RPG Maker.

Just because it's passable for a mobile trashgame doesn't make them nice.

Would unity be good for an rpg?

That is fair I suppose.
I'm not expecting anything higher than that here, so I judge accordingly.

I think they are nicem

I bought rpg maker 2000 like a year or two ago because it's apparently the easiest version to use (I had pirated vx ace I think it was before that but didn't do anything with it and deleted once I got 2000 because that is apparently easier) and requires the least coding, but even then, why put in all that effort to make what will probably be "just another shitty rpg maker game" (note I like rpg maker games, I just don't know what I could do that wouldn't have been done before, so it would probably be a boring and generic game to me and everyone who might play it) I've also though about learning unity, which might result in something more interesting, and I do own a specific pixel art program because I want to get good at that, whether just to make art ot make assets for games

I'm learning the basics of C# right now. How much do I need to know before I can start making a game on Unity?

Had a lot of reworking to do, the introduction to most of the games mechanics wasnt smooth enough, but the people that got it were very into it. After plenty of tweaking to how the player learns about them I got a much better response from newer players. Now they all seem to enjoy and not get frustrated. For example, i didnt out a tutorial pop-in for double jumping since it is even present in the intro video, but people were getting stuck at the first jump even before getting a weapon (the gap is long enough that the player really needs to double jump, to force him to know that its a feature, but plenty would get stuck of not told that yes, you can indeed doublejump).
I think it has a lot to do with expectations, for a new player the game is a white canvas and I have to teach them what and what doesnt exist.

Long blog ass post, but hey, i think its a bit of cool dev stuff to talk about

I don't know about making a whole game, but I'd kind of like to make a Freespace 2 campaign. I hate the flight suits the pilots are wearing in those little message animations, though. Is there some kind of character creator program where I can customize a face, put them in a flight suit and helmet that looks something like pic related, and record a close-up video where they're just sort of moving their head around so it looks like they're talking? Preferably a free program?

Basic flow control, types, classes and a decent understanding of vector maths.

It seems like a lot of work for little reward. I could write a book or compose an album in like a hundredth of the time and at least the people who'd indulge my efforts wouldn't be kids on Steam with anime avatars.

Thanks I currently taking an environment art class rn and holy shit you're so right about the part that im really really shitty at drawing anatomy and shit lol. That's why i said i needed more time to practice art stuff

>tfw really good at 3d modeling and texture painting

>Now if absolutely everyone is saying it's shit
Thankfully no, it's usually just one user, and if I ask what I can do to improve it, I never get proper feedback, and other anons will say it's fine. I almost never get constructive criticism from here, it happened a few times but not on this board.

>Basic flow control, types, classes and a decent understanding of vector maths.

This is all for scripting right?

RPG Maker has pre-made turn-based battle systems created by some people in the community. It's just that few people have decided to use them.

Yes, it would be. Really, you could make an RPG in Unity, GM, Unreal, Godot, Love2D; the engine itself doesn't matter too much, just your proficiency with it. So just pick one and stick with it.

Did you make those assets yourself? I love "old-style" isometric graphics

Main problem with RPG Maker is that almost everyone use the default assets. You have to customize everything to stand out

Do some of the beginning unity tutorials then use that to see if you know enough C# or not. There are lots of unity specific functions you will need to learn and reading about generic C# will just be taking up time.

Why not take the Africa one? You could make an interesting game world out of it.

very cool. what engine? is it multiplayer?

to add to my post, would romhacking be a good segway into gave dev?

Depends on how complicated a game you want it to be. If you are looking to make a 2D platformer or something I imagine there are libraries out there you could probably just use right now with barely any understanding and cobble together a game. You are going to need a little more knowledge of hundreds of systems if you are trying to make your a science-based 100% dragon MMO all on your own.

There are a lot of asset packs out there, too, though I wish there was more stuff that was suitable for making a WRPG.

just do the basic unity tutorials

I've already made my own characters and rigged them. A good starting place is to just make a character that can use the ethan rig as a test before you go and make custom rigs with helpers and all of that.

>steal model and change hair color

ebin

I use maya, 2d drawing is only needed when you import image planes and use them as references. Textures can be done through Mudbox/Zbrush and photoshop.

can i even make games if am bad a math? curious

blender is a good place to start, because it's free
if you can get your hands on zbrush and substance painter you're gonna have an easier time making your work look professional but they are not required

What do you mean by "math'?

I want to make a third person cover shooter with cartoony looking characters.

For 90% of the things you'll be doing you only need to know how to use math. Most of the exceptions are lower level things like winding meshes or shaderfagging.

no it's really my own original model.

I'm working on pixelshit right now because I've never touched 3D modelling before; is it difficult to learn 3D modelling? I can't even draw humans and humanoids well onto a 2 dimensional canvas so the idea of dealing with a 3 dimensional model scares me, but I'd very much like to work with 3d graphics someday.

How hard would it be to learn how to make mobile games well enough to the point where I have a dozen or so on the app store and make say 500+ a month from cash shops

Attached: .jpg (209x207, 7K)

you really need spacial awareness. Like when I model I'll be rotating throughout the 4 windows correcting verticies and tightening up the polys to make sure the mesh looks correct at all angles. Emulating 2d stuff in 3d is harder because you need to go for 3/4ths perspective a lot to make sure the contours of the face are properly smooth.

I on't have a working machine. Just semi-broken old iMac with Linux Mint on it. No modern 3d game engine seems to work.

Thanks for the encouragement fampai, I'll definitely give it a look-see.

Yes. From their mortal coil.

There is literally nothing wrong with the current version of Godot as it's basically a better version of gamemaker, the only thing is that nobody has made any real noteworthy games on it yet.
Most people saying it's shit are basing that on old versions of the engine where a lot of the features where still WIP.

Also, it says 2D, but those look more like voxels, not pixels.

You mind sharing user? I know it doesnt really answer you question but im curious

Yeah it's just an NPC head. I keep it low poly because I can always turn it up to a higher poly count. Hero heads will usually have more shit attached to them like eyebrows, eyelashes, and teeth and whatever mouth stuff is required. For NPC heads a ton of stuff also gets deleted because it's hidden, which is why everything above the forehead is lacking edgeloops, that gets deleted because it's usually covered by hair or hats.

I kinda want to make a spiritual successor to U.N. Squadron, but I just get the feeling that there's so many shmups that there's probably already something that accomplishes that goal better than I could ever make.

It's comfy, I'm not overloaded with useless options and the engine starts up in like a few seconds instead of minutes like unreal.

The important thing is not learning the syntax and rules of a programming language, but to think about logic in an imperative and declarative way. The logical concepts of how a game loop flows.

I don't know how to do any of it and wouldn't know where to start. All of my ideas would be shit anyway.

Is it a bad idea to make a 2d sidescolling Metroidvania/dark souls game?

ADHD prevents me from doing anything after the initial phase of starting out where everything I learn is interesting because it's something new. As soon as I have to sit down and grind out code/practice a skill/study a useful but dull topic it suddenly becomes 20x harder to focus as I have to remind myself several times every single minute to stop letting my mind wander off about spaceships and superheroes and whatever.

I maked visual nowel years ago and i still have money from it

Depends on your take on it, I guess. It might make it in the ocean of similar indie games if you make it stand out somehow.

Checklists might help. At most just try and code one thing a day. Any progress is still progress so if you manage to make a new weapon one day then maybe some items the next it's all good.

How is Godot?

I feel like the majority of that stuff is very pixel art influenced. Also most of them feel kind of dark and gritty.

I make games for a living and I'm fucking exhausted

What kind of game play?

Do you work for a big company?

What does a day of work consist of?

30 man team. I'm the Producer. It's knackering.

I'd like to see one with an oil-painting aesthetic. Would probably demand a great deal more effort than the usual retro pixel art styles though.

Are there any good resources on game design? Not programming, modeling, or writing, but design

its hard

so you're not an actual developer

I want children to leave

i dont want to

Oil painting would be pretty interesting

YESSSSSS

What kind of games do you make?

answer me you fucks
why is native development with godot such a pain in the ass

Production is a valid track and we catch endless shit for just making sure the thing gets made. If the game fails it's our fault, if the game succeeds, it's not our win, it's the team's.

what do you do in production?

Drive the project. Ensure it is completed to spec, in time, in budget, and make sure all stakeholders are pleased with the result while the team remain unfucked by crunch or deadlines. Staff and project management.

I am but I don't know if I'll get around to finishing it. I got asked to show it in a software engineering interview since I stuck it on my CV and they gave me a fucking job so I suppose it's already served a purpose.

For a good example of this try playing liar princess and blind prince, it's all hand drawn and it looks amazing

because I'm a wagecuck who spends most of his free time trying not to kill myself due to crippling depression and no medical help.

>muh depression
Oh yes, here they come.

I want to make a Wario World/Crash Bandicoot esque 3d platformer with Abe's Odysse/Heart of Darkness level of gruesome ways to get yourself and others killed.

I want a sort of cartoony and cute chubby round jiggly and shiny artstyle, with a large focus on gore. I want to make my characters have several layers of flesh, skeleton and intestines that all interact heavily with the world when you die and determines what happens to you. I also want to rely heavily on scripting for dynamic movement and also dismemberment mechanics and short post death trigger post dismemberment dynamic movement before the character dies.

What skills do I need to procure before any of this is feasible, what engine would be best suited for me?

did you make it from scratch or use an engine? I made a simple engine I made from scratch but imo it's too much work actually doing stuff with it, it's decent to talk about in interviews but no good for actually making a game.

Alright, I can respect that. It is very good to have someone holding people together

Because i'm programming it from scratch instead of using an engine.

It looks beautiful. I think I'm going to use watercolor, because it is the most cheap paint out there.

It's necessary work, but constant stress

I kinda want to make a wrestling game engine, every one of those games after Day of Reckoning 2 always felt loose and poor and less impactful to play.

I'm surprised there's no common open source one other than Wrestling Mpire which is a very... special and retracted codebase.

Using an engine since it wasn't originally my intention to use it as a portfolio showpiece and I just wanted to make something playable in a reasonable timeframe.

I work in a call center, my insurance requires a 5k deductible before it'll cover very limited medical. So yeah.

Nothing, just lost most of it when the altcoin bubble burst in 2017 and the site was being ddosed during ripple pump & dumps causing everyone to not get their sell orders in. The rest I lost to foolish leveraged bitmex trading. I made poloniex about 6 BTC in trading fees but they refuse to even give me back 0.1 BTC out of compassion, I know exchanges obviously don't do refunds (not a total idiot) but I figured earning them so much would maybe buy an iota of sympathy or maybe the hopes that I would earn them more in fees (I've come back from 0.3 and turned it into 3.3 once but that was just the sheer blind luck of the altcoin boom, it was literally a market of buy any coin, sell it higher, repeat). I just lost my nerve, used to sleep like a baby on risky trades because I had S/L but once you discover S/L aren't worth shit and don't trigger when you need them most then all bets are off and you can't stop looking at prices for 30 secs to bathroom break and your life just becomes 24/7/365 eleventh circle of hell. Spoilered names because nobody in their right mind should ever go there and trust any guarantee, you're just a degenerate gambler to them and it's their job to escort you out of the casino once u're broke. U can get lucky and risk 1-100% of your money to make insane gains, but once you lose that initial 50% it's too tempting to try and make it back esp. if you've done it before. Knowing "quit while you're ahead" doesn't mean shit when you don't know when you're ahead (if u have even just 1 BTC you're ahead and you should quit).

Also mtgox is supposed to pay out creditors this year but it's a total clusterfuck and nobody knows whether we'll get 5% or 20% or 90% because there have been recoveries in the US and Russia but what I had there was squat.

>or lolis that are clearly meant to be attractive?
>implying this isn't all over Steam

why don't you two work together, i can help if you'd like

Download UE4 and get started with their weekly 2-hour tutorials on yt/twitch, you can even ask questions if you're live when they stream. You're the only one who can turn what's in your head into what's on the screen, nobody is going to do it for you and nobody will hire you without skill or talent. You can actually do it without learning programming using blueprints but it helps immensely to get the basics down and know the difference between floats and integers and vectors and arrays at least.

i´m sorry to ask but how do you get that kind of shading, i put my models in unity and they look like shit lighting wise :c, i really like this kind of asethetic

You laugh, but Devotion was removed from Steam for reason related to a winnie the pooh joke.

China must be stopped at all costs.

They have notably been heavily cracking down on loli games. I doubt I'll make a full fledged porn game with lolis anytime soon, but I am a weeb and I definitely do want to make a WWII themed kart racer with lolis some day.

i can search for you, how can i help

I'm a brainlet with zero (0) programming skills and not enough money to hire a team, let alone to stay in a place coordinated working together. I can write, draw, sculpt and model, but good God I just can't into computers beyond mapping.
I'll either wait until I get enough money to hire programmers or let the dreams be dreams.

this, I remember telling all my friends I didn't want to buy pubg because I knew it would get cucked by a better BR game that doesn't have a bunch of gameplay artifacts from arma nobody likes and the overall low quality. lo and behold as soon as other options hit the market it petered out, and they're still basically in early access.

not a unity fag but pretty sure you should just be able to swap/edit the shader file or something like that if it's similar to opengl

I was making a game but have too many commitments with people come up that I can't really devote the time. It was a porn game, so it's not like I can just work on it with friends.

I've never looked at UE4, is the complete package actually free or is it some shit demo like the old Gamemakers?

As far as I see it's an unlit shader, I can't remember if Unity comes packaged with any but it probably does.

>tfw almost same case but there's a huge company maintening the monopoly by just shitting out soulless trash at it's fanbase
>fear said company finally wakes up and makes a good game so my game will look pale in comparison

Unity has a built-in unlit shader, I think there's an "unlit" section in the shader pulldown. If you want hard pixel edges on the textures (like PS1 games) you can set the filtering to "point" on the texture file in the inspector.

I'm not sure where to start, I guess just another person or group that want to create a game and have the patience to deal with a amateur coder would be nice.

make a Yea Forums engine, share it with all the dev bros

Thank you for the help ;__;

There is no fucking point to making a game anymore. If you make a game this is what happens to 99% of all indy devs, excluding the 1% who hit gold and make money.
>Spend god knows how much of your free time making this game
>Finally think it's good enough to be called a finished product
>You're extremely proud of what you've done, release it for the world to see
At this point one of two things happen:
>Your game becomes drowned out in the sea of worthless garbage released alongside it, nobody plays it and all of your work is basically for nothing.
or
>Your game becomes well known but everyone immediately trashes it and calls it shit. Dozens of people make hundreds of thousands of dollars making youtube videos with 100x less effort than it took to make the game trashing it for their viewers. Eventually a big name like Pewdiepie plays it for fix minutes and makes literally millions of dollars while the collective internet laughs at how terrible of a dev you are.

Wow sure sounds worth it!

What kind of gameplay would you put into a story-heavy dungeon crawler / adventure? Preset maps, not a huge gameworld. Asking for a friend.

don't make
1. shitty pixel games
2. abstract artsy fartsy garbage
3. walking simulators
4. minecraft clones
and have the game have some semblance of replayabillity

let's plays are for games that you would rather watch someone else play than play yourself, like if it's any of the former

Free and the source code is available. They take 5% the profits and less if you break some crazy threshold.

Interesting and good to know, will check it out when I get off work.
Does it come with 3d assets to mess around with or would I have to use something akin to Blender or whatever it's called?

There's basic stuff enough to make a prototype and a number of templates ready.
Plus they dumped a ton of free assets on the Marketplace, you can make a full game out of those. It'll be obvious that you "stole" them all, but nonetheless.

It really is. I used to love this job because we had low call volumes and it wasn't uncommon for me to take maybe 5-6 calls averaging 7 minutes long over a 8 hour shift. And then corporate axed a bunch of our call centers to save money which hiked call flow up through the ass. Now we take 50+ calls a day minimum, and because my company is absolute dogshit when it comes to line repair frontier, all we get are a bunch of screeching dickwipes 24/7, especially when it rains.

These past two days have been even more terrible due to 70+mph winds in WV taking down lines across multiple states and we've had over 150 people in our call queue at any given time since about 5am this morning, just to this call center alone. It's just the same shit over and over again and it's taken it's toll on me. I had chronic depression to begin with, and this makes it worse.

On the bright side, the company axed ALL us based call centers a few weeks ago and is shipping all calls overseas to taiwan and the phillipines, so I won't be tech support anymore. On the downside, they're moving all of us to cold call sales in like two weeks, and they're doing this because they plan to give near impossible sales quotas so that most of the workforce (who aren't trained in sales) fail to meet quota, are put on probation, and then fired for not meeting quota. And since it was a "valid" firing caused by the employee being unable to meet a sales goal, anyone fired can't file for unemployment for wrongful termination.

Because I cant code
And the only idea I have thats worth anything would likely be a lot of work to figure out how to make it work
I'd have to figure out terrain generation, terraforming dynamically, how to make things happen depending on how the terrain is amongst other things
Then code ai, and whatever else
So much work. I can barely get the motivation to get out of bed, how am I supposed to learn a programming language then how to script a game.

I have a concept for a game that I actually managed to test out by essentially modding an existing game just to see if the idea would work (it's a puzzle game with a gimmick that's a bit difficult to explain); people liked the idea, but it worked best in co-op and I have no clue how to code an actual game myself, let alone one that supports co-op multiplayer. I also have no idea what visual style or story it'd have, and I can't into art at all (although I could do a decent soundtrack I think)

I'm not the best at anything besides considering all things possible at the same time. Turns out that's good for games so I'm doing that. Hopefully people actually want game design to evolve because that's what interests me. Superior gameplay iteration combined with unique non-gimmick systems in a well written attractive setting. We can do low poly stylized assets and keep a narrow scope so the gameplay is perfect. Hopefully close to done in a year. Love you user

Probably would have to forget making money off the game and release it for free.
Ethnic Cleansing sold a few thousand copies for $15, but that was back in the early 2000s

Yea Forums? What's that?

>Because I cant code

Yeah, the lowIQ brain damage center is that way.

This goes beyond goalpost moving, this is like claiming after the other team scores that they were supposed to be going for the OTHER goalpost

That would be fine if I wanted to make a game completely devoid of music, story and voice acting. Since I will not be able to do any of those things, and sure as fuck won't pay other people to do for me if I can't make back my money somehow.

I wpuld love to help out, got any social media where we can discuss this

Would*

If you have a discord I'd add you.

We need anonymous or the hacker formerly known as Yea Forums right about now, if we don't put a stop and make the regime fall right fucking now when the world still has the upper hand over the CPC we don't stand a chance make our time before the next financial crash. Time to dust off mIRC and get in touch with mainland.

Yeah i have discord

then post it

I second-guess all my creative ideas so I figure I'm more productive at reverse engineering existing games and making utilities for them than trying to make an original game

The shit muddy placeholder visuals in my game demotivate me so currently working on graphics and animations but I want to be doing real dev stuff so its demotivating me further.

What's the #number? Can't add you without it.

Sorry, forgot about that, it's 3011

Keep at it, user. I've felt the same way, but you just gotta press through the feeling. It's a lot more important to have a solid foundation for the game itself before you work on making the graphics better, no matter just how terrible it feels to look at.

Just use ScriptableObjects and you will be fine.

I am since today, a fighting game.
I'm planning to get some Yea Forums collabaration going and put an open source license on the game. Made a /g/ thread about it, probably should also post on here.
webm related.
github is here
github.com/NEET-FEET/That-Fight-When
and /g/ thread here:
Anyone like the idea of a fighting game with the character roster consisting of Yea Forums memes? (boomer, zoomer, pepe, apu, wojak, virgin, chad, redpill guy, greenpill guy, etc, etc,)

I'm currently making the assets for it
in the mean time i might make a visual novel while learning to draw since they seem simple enough
also how the fuck do i make rigging limbs work
it's my biggest problem so far

LibGDX son. I have no idea if it's any good, I just know it exists

Wait a second, this is just budget Titanfall

As with every engine complaint, random performance limitations the majority of people complaining about arent even experienced enough to make something that even encounters it.

"x language is better than y" bench mark racers are the biggest failures I've ever met.

every now and then i spent a few hours in rpg maker and waste all my motivation on creating one pretty outside area / house only to get bored as fuck after a while and just delete everything again

Godot is free as in freedom
Pretty easy and everybodies custom engines end up using open source libraries anyway. People use game engines because there is no point reinventing the wheel, it has the environment and tons of little features you may never need, setup for you already.
