I'm somehow getting worse at coding.

Redoing old shit is synonymous with game development

How do I get noticed on twitter? It's always frustrating seeing other devs with 10k+ followers while I barely have 1000

Release a successful game.

But the other devs I was talking about still haven't released their games

Don't turn into a phil fish. Just focus on vidya.

So how do you even release a game, do you need to make a company and get a publisher and shit?

so release something people want to see. If your audience of people that want to see your shit is only 1000 than you should be happy. Don't diss your niche.

you're right, thank you

It's indefinitely in the planning stage while I try to design something not shit but is actually feasible in terms of execution. Thanks for asking.

I like it but slow down the flicker lighting from the candle. The pulse is too fast.

Was sick for the past month, haven't done shit.

Might as well start a new project fresh. Now to figure out what to do.. something VR

This looks comfy but at the same time too unityish

Most days i just fiddle with it a bit, i do something that would take 2 minutes if i could apply myself, and tab in and out on the window, stretching it over the entire day.
Even if i just make an inch of progress a day, i stave off the shitty feeling of wasting my life. I really hope someone can enjoy this when its all done in 2030.

That seems pretty clearly Unreal to me.

this, what is that, a nightclub candle?

I don't know the lighting feels like Unity, but then again it's just pretty generic I guess.

perhaps watching videos of candle flickers was foolish.

From my understanding, game developers gain attention and followers from posting their work on social media, but arent game devs afraid of others possibly stealing their ideas? Is this a thing to be concerned about as a indie dev?

Nothing for now, just finishing my first C++ game with Udemy for the course of Unreal.

I do it for fun only, haven't planned to work or anything, but maybe just try to make a first-person dungeon crawler.

Basically I don't really care where it will carry me, I am doing this for fun even if C++ or Unreal are maybe not the best choices.

>stealing their ideas
Don't sweat it. It's not about ideas, it's about execution. Anyone can think of an "awesome game idea", but only a small fraction of those actual go out and make it. So the trade off of getting new followers for the tiny possibility of getting your idea stolen and shipped before you is totally worth it.

Yeah good luck trying to replicate my work

I agree, it almost has a Wind Waker vive.

No, it would be idiotic to steal someones idea after they've already publically posted it. They have rights to the IP at that point.
Also i find it hard to believe an indie game developer would have to steal an idea.

ideas are literally worthless

FUCK IT I FUCKING QUIT I AM SO SICK OF THIS BULLSHIT

Considering that by nature, everything on social media can be time stamped, you should have no problem proving to people that your idea was stolen if you promoted it from the beginning.
Social Media in this day and age is a valuable marketing tool. If you aren't using it to promote not only your game, but yourself, then you're missing out on a valuable tool. Just don't do anything stupid like share your fucking political views.

but goyim how will i make money if you aren't telling everyone to vote for me and my party?

Have you ever done art or programming before?

99% of indie games arent really original enough to bother stealing the idea and if youre working on some subversive genre defining masterpiece its going to be VERY obvious if someone steals it

Making webms is not making a game, user. Posting actual video formats to things like youtube or twitter will do much more your game than posting in this trash heap.

Took me two months but I finally found the motivation to do something in Spine. Now I need the motivation to finish the animation I started. Hopefully by end of April it should be finished.

Excuses excuses. I'm beginning to think you don't actually have a game beyond some basic bullshots.

Best place to learn to code?

Attached: 1533672894341m.jpg (1024x1003, 93K)

Your computer
Pick a language, start a project, learn as you go, don't get attached to anything

looks pretty cool user

learnyouahaskell.com/

which engine should i pick if i want to make Silent Hill/Resident Evil clone?

First, get a standard calculus text and dive in. You should also get linear algebra and discrete math books as well; make sure the discrete text is proof based.

Once you're a couple chapters in to your discrete book (you will want to have covered basic proposition and higher order logic, and basic proofs), you may begin learning programming and computer architecture. As a litmus test, if you don't know what this statement is

∀P((0∈P∧∀i(i∈P-->i+1∈P))-->∀n(n∈P))

you aren't ready to take the reins of a computer.

Now, forget what you do know about computer programming:

First, you learn boolean logic operations
then, you learn transistor logic
then, you learn how to build functional units from logic gates
then, you learn CPU design
then, and only then, you learn assembly language
then, after you have mastered assembly language (not dabbled, but mastered it), you learn C
then, after you have mastered C, you may learn the higher-level languages of your choice, but you will always use C and assembly as your primary languages because everything else is unnecessary bloat.

By this time you should be finished with your first wave of math and ready for the next: abstract algebra, analysis, multivariate and vector calculus, and, after you have progressed a way in those, topology.

Finally, you become familiar with topoi, and study the internal logic of categories
then familiarize yourself with (general) type theory, and its applications to programming. I also recommend studying how to reformulate mathematics in terms of globular categories for use in automatic theorem proving, because there is an inherent programming-like 'feel' to it.

I have a feeling you mean some specific person in mind, in which case you are mistaken. I do like (relatively) strong typing, however.

find a simple, easy to learn game engine out there. you don't need anything as complex as unreal engine to make a card game. then all the code you will have to learn is just logic stuff, not domain specific graphics programming or anything like that.

actually, now that i think about it, Game Maker would probably, unironically, be a good fit.

Also I REALLY need help, while watching some videos on youtube I got an idea for a game, which is relatively simple, it cashes in on a current trend, but with a very original spin, in fact it's on a completely different genre from said trend, and I KNOW it's the perfect mix for it to be very successful. Here's the problem, I'm not passionately interested in making such project, it's not why I got into studying the process of developing games, it's not what I want to do, but I know that it's such a winner idea that if i did I would earn actual millions from it, and now I'm torn.

user,

This. Maybe Godot?

Once you pick an engine, google the name of the engine + State Machine. A state machine is all you need to move through your game phases and turn order. It's the same for all turn based games actually. The big secret is that coding is pretty easy as long as your not try to do some crazy shit that has never been done before.

Guess I'm gonna do some research. Wish me luck, boys.

I don't really care about foundational autism. Set theory is most certainly broken, though.

Attached: 1503599370741.gif (944x720, 1.66M)

I like the aesthetic.

the genre of the game I want to play is pretty niche, top down shooter/rpg with a focus on sandbox elements, on a sci-fi/fantasy setting. Think of it as Helldivers, made from ground up for kmb controls, with better developed game systems, and a faster gameplay since I'm also taking some good inspiration from Furi. At it's best I can imagine selling a 100k copies if I invest a few good years of development in it after the game is finished, like Terraria did. It's a niche genre, there's no way around it. But *I* want to play this, it's why I got into game development, there's nothing like it, and if I want to scratch this itch I'll have to make the damn thing myself.

The idea I got though, it's that kind of thing that's somewhat on the background of people's mind and you don't realize just how natural the progression (from a current trend) into it is, until the idea finally clicks. I can see it selling a shitload, but like I said I have zero interest on the trends this concept cashes in. The problem is that I obviously want money, and the idea of legitimately becoming rich is obviously tempting, even if I know I'll have to put a lot of effort in it. Money doesn't make you happy, but it prevents you from being miserable due to not being able to do things you want to.

I'm torn between what I should do. The game I want to play or the game that will make me rich?

coming along fine, just have to do a little more to enter beta stage and then go over to polishing some things, moving and testing it on iOS devices (primarily used Android for development & testing) and prepare for release after that.

If you can't trust a team to make the game it's going to take 4-6 years of solo dev work, by which point you will have missed the window that you think you have.

>by which point you will have missed the window that you think you have
It's a "trend", but it's not one that's going away any time soon unfortunately. Did zombie shooters ever go away? Nope, dying light is still making a lot of success despite being released after the "peak" of the genre. Honestly I actually wish you were right that said trend would die, but I don't see it happening.

At this point, I think I'm going to make one off short games just to burn through my character ideas. Sort of like how Konjak did with Legend of Princess. I just don't have time to make one huge game, but I got so many characters I want use for a variety of them.

because devs have ideas too dumbass, and when you get into the nitty gritty of implementing every detail then you start to find out just how shitty your vague idea is.

People are going to hate whatever you make regardless, so make what you want.

And what's up with people saying you need to have a company or LLC or whatever to avoid being sued to dead?

Then you'll never get anything done.

Do anthropomorphic creatures always have to carry the stigma of just being useful for only furry porn?

Have you ever dealt with a rich person on a daily basis? Do you know what that amount of money does to a person? How it isolates them? Any sort of mental issues, which actually everyone has, gets amplified too. Yeah money is amazing because it gives you power, but it also in itself creates more problems than it solves.

Yes. Your game will forever be nothing more than furry porn bait.

But how does one manage to keep themselves confident enough to become more productive with the idea that they won't abandon it several minutes later? I don't want to be lethargic about doing this because making a game was always my passion project. However, in the same time, my brain just rejects the idea and slowly just procrastinates and prevents me from even trying.

Only to those who masturbate to such things on a daily basis. You'll have to ask another place for a legitimate answer.

Uh, excuse me, designers are the most important role in game development. Design is nothing more than ideas. Without ideas, you'd have nothing.

Never thought of that, but ok.

Design is ideas made tangible.

>I'm mad I spent time and money going to school for game "design"
bull shit. modern game designers are self congratulating fuck ups. Programming, Art and Music/Sound is way more important than some egotists ideas. Game directors are way more important than designers, and they basically do the same job. design can be done by any person thats spent more than 5 minutes playing a game

They're going to steal it anyways

Ideas are the seed of everything good. I won't let anyone steal my seed.

Yeah and without my designs you'd be living in some backwater slum with no running water. 5 minutes of gameplay doesn't give you the skills to come up with game ideas, you have to WORK for those skills. Ideas are precious.

dont think of it as 36 parts to texture, its only 6 characters. ez.
how detailed is everything going to be?

Yeah, project settings are always on, even if you changed the post processing volumes settings or camera settings. Hate it.

Babylon is used by indians. Three is what you want.

The player is supposed to build his own mech, so it's 36 parts that can mixed and matched and thus need their own textures.

>how detailed is everything going to be?
Ehh it's going to be really simple, most armor plates will stay white so the player can color them. Also, I use some texture-creator tool for Unity. So it's not a lot of work. I just don't have whole lot of time these days and I tend to rework things endlessly until I like them.

Yea Forums what would you recommend as someone with experience in Maya but 0 programming experience.

Unreal and C++
or Unity and C#?

Unreal and blueprints.

Danke

Unreal C++ is a meme. Just open Unreal once and you see the engine just pushing blueprints into your face like C++ is a secondary option you shouldn't bother using

There is no real difference for people at the amateur level. Unreal uses blueprints which is useful for people who can't code, Unity has a giant asset store with some really stuff in it(save system, AI, etc). So it's really up to you.

kind of reminds me of those chest enemies from treasure trove cove in Banjo-Kazooie.

Hey I'm going to use this for my porn game I hope you don't mind

It would, I'm making a game with that kind of aesthetic (not the paper, but 2D on 3D) in GMS right now. You just need to understand the limits of the engine.

I think I have missed the battle royale boat

Honestly Blueprints is a gamechanger. It lets laymen dive into programming and actually making something, and for more experienced people it makes some things like quick prototyping of an idea much easier.

I don't know a lick of programming and I've already roughly replicated most of the basic core gameplay systems of a Souls game. That's fucking crazy. If Unity implemented something as robust as Blueprints, you would very much likely see another huge indie boom like earlier in the decade, if not bigger.

should i focus on getting better at drawing or modeling? i'm pretty shit at both.

Would Yea Forums play another "monster pet simulator" game? What would they add or change to the genre?

Depends on how cute the monster is and how much depth/complexity it has

Depends on what your actual goal is.

How do I gamefeel, just add a bunch of screenshake and sfx when you do anything?

i wanna make an ape escape clone.

Make your walking feel good.

Start by doing that. Then revise, experiment, adjust. It's something you should probably always be thinking about in the background, but don't try to set aside a day to do it. It should be done over the course of development

>bunch of screenshake (...) when you do anything?
terrible, screenshake should be used sparingly

Programming/coding and modeling. Drawing is a good base skill, but it's not going to be very applicable to something like that. Maybe for some texture work, but that's not really drawing unless you're going for a hand-painted kind of aesthetic.

Still having problems figuring out how to implement driving controls on the keyboard.

While for analogue it's pretty easy since I can tie the turnrate to value of the analogue stick and cap it at something, for keyboard I feel like something like Lotus III had it right but I can't for the love of me figure how they did it so good where holding the joy after a while would give a hard turn and just tapping it soft turns.

I know it also tied to X and Y speeds since turning when accelerator was pressed didn't produce such tight turns. It's a really good system that is easy to learn and hard to master but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

How many DWORDs do you use?

Yes, but at that point you're writing your own scripts for everything so you'd just be better off switching to something like SDL/glfw/SFML and regular OpenGL.

>DWORD
WINAPI go away

Depends
if action game/action RPG, take the Monster Hunter approach and tie hitstop/screenshake to the amount of damage being done. It's a great, very visceral indicator of dealing a good strong hit and makes the player FEEL powerful.

additionally screenshake is a good way to make the player FEEL how big or heavy something or some action is.

I rarely play phone games, but intentionally leaving out one of the basic features of video games is lazy and a bad idea. Even if people don't listen to sound (headphones are a thing, btw) the fact that your game doesn't have any will, if nothing else, make it appear super amateur.

does anyone have a working copy of Intrinsic?

I read somewhere that only half of mobile players play with game sound on, they just listen to their own music. Hell, many roguelikes and Dwarf Fortress don't even have sound, and I don't think people consider them amateurish.

>wanting to alienate half of your playerbase
I mean, I'm not gonna judge your journey but that isn't a decision I would make. You asked for input and my input is that it's a poor choice.

you should at least put basic sfx in, for example I like listening to pew pew noises in a tower defense game with my own music playing in the background

whats the best software to make this kind of 2D sprites?

At this point I just gotta figure out if it's worth it to add sound support. I'd either have to work with OpenAL within the NDK or actually write some shitty Java that I can JNI into. It's a ton of work for a relatively minor roguelike feature.

I'm surprised, no one really noticed my post. That's okay.

Dont use Unet, it sucks and is deprecated anyways. Look into Forge Networking Remastered.

it's good

I'm making some cutscene art for the game I'm working on art for.

Just redrawing all my backgrounds for my point and click game in HD.
goddamn it takes ages to do! I can only imagine how much longer it'd take if I was doing them in colour.

It's coming along alrighty.
I'm slowly running out of small things to fix.

Might actually still add stealth to the alpha. Had it in place but deactivated it at one point. I could imagine equipping enemies with lamps to look for you in the dark.

Looks great, user. What is it gonna be about?

oh it's you, looking forward for it, keep it up

I remember that game!

That means you’re progressing and about to trascend grok state. Keep pushing forward, user.

I have no idea what that is does it use C sharp? is it related to Unity somehow? why shouldn't I use Unity?

Has anyone here continued a game from a game jam after a long time? How did you move from the game jam prototype to actual game?

>prototyping it in vb.net
>2% CPU usage so far
going well

How should I make low-poly terrains in Unity? I want to make areas of a level that have a natural-looking landscape but without screwing with heightmaps or whatever.

Should I just make my cliffs and hills as models in blender or something?

Forgot to mention the player is meant to walk and play on them as any other part of the level, they're not intended as background pieces.

>precisely because of the parkour mechanics and the incredibly based devs who refuse to let the game die with free content
So you're saying that as long as a game is well made and has a differential it will do well, even if the market is saturated. Who could have thought?
>dead right now
No, Re2make just came out.
>innovate
Precisely why I know it's a jackpot idea.

It's about a girl who rebuilds robots getting embroiled in a murder/mystery/conspiracy plot after she discovers unwiped data hidden on a droid.
Problem is, game starts the day after she got blackout drunk, so she has to piece shit together whilst dealing with a hangover.

how's the Hormone Replacement going?

Thanks BTW.
At the mo everything is hideous and low res as fuck scribbles, but getting there slowly.

Your MC is a bit boring imo.
Generic anime hair and needlessly mahoosive eyebrows

Looks really cool. You got a blog or something?

Finally got the basis of my battle system working.
Also there's a bridge now.

It depends on how ambitious you are. The out-of-the-box networking stuff of unity seemed rather mediocre to me, based on what I've seen. If you want something competitive or nicely looking you'll likely have to put in quite a bit of work. Also, I'd be surprised if a battle royale style game with large maps and lots of players wouldn't come with special constraints of its own, requiring further optimisation in order to make it run properly. That being said, I'd be surprised if the out-of-the-box solutions of other engines were that much better since depending on the game you may need a different system. e.g. FPS usually unlag gameplay by predicting client input locally and interpolating entities between the most recent snapshots, meaning that the player is always 'in the past' whereas a flight simulator or anything physics-based with predictable movement might work better by locally predicting movement based on current data. And as far as I know for melee combat based games, nobody has yet found the ideal solution. Even games heralded as having good combat, e.g. Souls, are from a netcode perspective rather suboptimal as their entire system seems to be animation-based, which is why a lot of weapons have those long-ass charging animations so the player is less likely to notice the lag involved. And other games, e.g. Overwatch, don't synchronise the actual melee attack but rather have huge-swinging animations that simply cause damage within a certain vicinity, regardless if the actual weapon connected or not.

remove this part, sounds like something a teenager would come up with

Thanks! Well I got a twitter: twitter.com/FuzzyGameStudio

Besides heightmaps you could also look into volume based terrain, e.g. using marching cubes variants. You could easily find code examples on how to implement that, but in terms of effort it would likely surpass the heightmap approach.
Modelling everything yourself has the theoretical potential to look the best but if you need a lot of content it will also take a lot of effort, possibly surpassing the former, depending on your expertise with modelling and your requirements.
Depending on how low-poly you want things to be you could also work with a discrete height-map approach, where you work with tiles, e.g. think something like Starcraft maps but in 3d. But you'd obviously have to model the tiles and make a script which builds the map from some input grid, which you also may want to edit, requiring some kind of editor script to control the elevation.

Hey I know the guy who made that personally. He fucking hates GMS and would never recommend using it, even for small projects or prototypes. He also made a 3D Mario Kart fangame and told me programming it was awful.

volume based terrain uses way too much memory unless you're making Minecraft or something

Looks nice, ZoE combat pls

It depends on how large your grid is. The triangulated surface itself shouldn't be too big. Also, you might not need all of it loaded all the time. It may be possible to separate it into chunks and load them on demand. Also, systems these days tend to have a lot of memory.

I'll probably have to stick with modelling everything myself then, thanks. I'll have to figure out how to make modular parts by experimenting. I mainly need things like cliffsides, some hilly bumps/dunes, dried-up rivers etc. I'd use Unity's own terrain tools but I need things like caves/other kinds of overhanging geometry.

I guess if it's that simple, the biggest question is how do I integrate a model I made into unity as a terrain item? I'll need to paint and decorate it with different textures and things like rocks and trees.

normally games have holes in the terrain where there's a cave and the cave meshes are inserted over it

And I'd assume the caves are made in an external modelling program? I remember that Bethesda made Skyrim's caves by building tunnel and corner/curve segments, then fitting them in like puzzle pieces and adding props in-engine.

>And I'd assume the caves are made in an external modelling program?
yes
make cave/cliff pieces in a modelling program and lay them over the terrain
it's really easy to see the seams in games that use terrains, World of Warcraft for example

yeah thats it, there is nothing to think about

any idiot could make a 3d game in c

>no rpg maker

Can I get held by Larry

I ain't got shit.
I've got a basic character concept down in paint and an extensive plan on what mechanics I want a core concept of what I want the story to be about. I plan to start learning blender soon, but depression keeps hitting me like a brick wall.

but yeah, currently I'm just in ideaguy stage

>basically a reskin of a existing game
Why bother?

Babylon is better in pretty much every way, three just had the benefit of coming first so there are more resources on it.

No one appreciates or plays RPG Maker gamus.

Is there somewhere I can follow development? This looks rad.

Probably stolen assets from somewhere they just slapped it together they didn’t make anything idort

>using the default assets
>only OC is muh waifus
>that cringy text
I don’t know what else to use rpg maker is difficult enough as it is and anything I want to make almost always requires some kinda plugin
