For a lot of anons its a day-to-day struggle between depression and passion. Whichever is stronger that day wins out.

Good for you user, keep on trucking. Hope to play your game someday.

I'm modding a mod right now. Taking an shit right now so no screenshots. But essentially I'm taking the Gunslinger 2.0 mod for Doom and adding manual lever actions and stuff. Give me a sec and I'll post a work in progress thing.

There's zero guarantee that you'll get accepted on epic store.

hey guys, i have a question. i want my main character to be a black girl, but there's no political reasoning, i just want a cute brown girl with mannerisms closer to link, or a typical nintendo kids game silent protag. she's not going to be a tough as nails badass chick, or WOKE, or anything like that. literally just link, but a cute brown girl. is this a good idea? i'm afraid she'll get stuck in the whole SJW shit storm.

not an option
too ugly

Could be better. I can do art, writing, game design and the music is being taking care of but the programming is what gets me. I really need to get better but I'm really not made out for it. Blagh.

As long as she's cute and doesn't have another fucking afro, no one will care.

i want her to have an afro (because i happen to get big boners from black girls with big 70s fros) as an optional hair style. her dafault would probably be braids, or dreadlocks, done in a feminine way.

still learning the basics of programming
id say its coming along pretty good

Well if she has an afro, she isn't cute.
Sorry to break it to you, your taste is trash.

Haven't begun anything yet other than early conceptual of the gameplay and story. I've got a team of one artist, 2 programmers (me and one other guy), and a producer/ideas guy/writer

Sorry for the shit quality. As you can see, using the lever action ejects a shell regardless if a shot has been shot, and ejects nothing if the gun is empty.
It's the best kind of political inclusion in my eyes.

I keep meaning to, but I'm terrible at sticking to projects. I keep jumping off them for something else before I get anywhere with it. For example, I somehow got into my head the desire to learn to knit, so I've dropped what I was working on and starting hammering out test squares of garter stitch and such. I wish I could manage to keep myself on one thing long enough to see it through.

It's good to indulge in multiple hobbies or crafts, but you also need to learn mental discipline and focus. It can be learned, you've just gotta work at it.

not really understanding the question, in Unreal its not incredibly hard to setup an AI like the one in this game, I dont demand much from them. They have different behaviours for each class but the default concept is getting close first then at a decent distance to strafe around. They dont use cover so that made things simpler, they might strafe into one but its not a rule since I didnt want the player to be chasing enemies that would frequently hide.

Don't listen to Afros on gal are still cute if done right it's just a bit overused

Yeah, but, if you are making a 2D game, using sprites, there is no reason to have a 3D environment, it's unnecessary, and like , lacks pixel perfect, it requires work around to make things fit on screen correctly, I regret making a 2D game on Unity.

That looks pretty good, user. Keep up the fine work.

unity has a pixel perfect camera though. i literally just read about it.

If your game gets complete and its game play is centered around this, then I wouldn't mind paying $5 -10.

i don't trust games with prices that low. hollow knight was $15. personally, i think indies should start charging $20, and justifying the price. hollow knight was massively underpriced.

And some other stuff that I'm forgetting.

Yeah. I don't discredit that but at the end of the day people will do whats best for their own game. Not saying that Lumberyard will see success but I think that stigma less relevant than we think.

unity has said not to upgrade if you're balls deep in a project for like 10 years.

thank me when the game is out.

You do know that you don't upgrade existing projects unless it's completely necessary? Right?

Isn't there some study that shows people should avoid doing this? The idea being that once you get a taste of praise or respect, you end up already satisfied, as if you didn't need to actually complete the project. Like all those people that say "I'm going to write a book" but never do because they feel satisfied once they get the "Wow, I wish I could do that." type comments.

Alright, today I'm going to learn normal-mapping.

>>always keep a queue with bite-size tasks you can do in a single session ("add doors", "improve boss ai", "add shops" etc). never let this queue go empty - you can use notepad or Trello of you want to feel fancy
just to clarify this better because it's most important bullet - the idea is that you start with a list of 5-6 tasks that takes an hour or two tops, and every session you complete one or two tasks. at the end of every completion think of a new task to replace it. stick to the list.

If you're making a game solely for the approval of randoms on social media then you've already failed.

haven't heard it, personally I feel like it's helping me, but now that you mention it I'll check it out, sounds interesting

this only applies to people who are used to mediocrity and haven't received an ounce of praise for any creative work in their lives

Ugh, don't even talk to me. I've been working on this system to convert std::strings to bit field IDs to avoid slow string compares and this Actor class is a god damned bloated nightmare.

when i receive praise, it just tells my brain to keep going, because i'm on the right track. if you're only doing it for approval, you'll fail.

ofc you don't, but the idea is getting constant feedback on things, feel the market, and have eyes looking at you and pressure to progress and finish.

I'll try to find it.
Not that I disagree but I think the study wasn't just "mediocre people just want approval while the great ones want more". It had more to do with your brain getting its share of dopamines from the attention and basically being satisfied, without having to put in the extra hard work for the final thing, while if you keep it to yourself, you'll only get the dopamines at the end.

i'm an addictive person, though, so it might not apply to me. if i get praise for doing something cool, i'll keep trying to one-up myself to get even more praise, and i already have it in the back of my head that the ultimate praise, and ultimate hit of dopamine will be making a successful game that gets memed all over the place.

you should do something with flour or paint you pour on the floor and see footsteps walking on it when ghost pass, this could be quite spooky

I believe you're gonna to have to parent it to the forklift, which ended up being awkward enough in my project that I just scrapped the idea.

Although I'm not making a game, would a multi-phase boss fight be an interesting way to tell a character's backstory? And perhaps give light on why they've got some issues?

For example, if it were in an RPG:
>Enter some sort of trippy arena within the character's mind, like maybe the main character has access to the ability to go through dreams and defeat nightmares.
>Only problem is the main character suffers from horrible nightmares himself.
>Eventually he has to awaken his weapon used to explore dreams, but he must face the nightmares within himself or something.
>Fight starts with monstrous caricatures of, say, the character's abusive parents, and the names of their attacks shed light on their treatment of him and eachother (They sometimes attack eachother, the mother has a near-constant fake smile, the father's attack names are... questionable, ect.) The main character feels like he was the cause of their constant anger.
>Then maybe after beating the parents, you fight a horrific physical representation of something else traumatizing, like a fire, and a small child-like figure that causes status effects. The child-like figure died from the fire and is the reason the character is so terrified of fire. The arena also looks like it's on fire and the firey beast attacks the child-like figure occasionally.
>Finally you face a distorted abomination, a physical representation of the character's own self-doubt that's been plaguing him and has been especially notable after a really bad story event, or something.
>Afterwards, although the main character isn't 100% better, he has a notable change of behavior and becomes a pretty rad leader as a result.

I dunno, you could totally be more creative than a text dump or a really long cutscene or something.

There are retards selling the same game dozens of times with slight alterations. Of course this would dilute the averages

>come up with a game idea

I can't find the study, maybe it was just an article I read way back and got imprinted in me. It was mostly towards writing, with some authors saying they never talk about their ideas until their books are finished.
Either way, having been in that position myself, the issue would be that you get the praise whether or not you made advancements. You can just say "yes, I'm working on it" and people will praise it.
But it obviously does come down to each person. I had several finished projects, never having talked to anyone about them. Then I decided to break the pattern and talked about it, went into a slump that pretty much killed all my momentum. Still trying to get out of it actually.

No offense but this is nothing new. Most phases in From Software titles are how the boss starts one way, then the second phase shows a new side that adds to the lore.
Just look at Soul of Cinder.

My game and I are in a tight spot to be honest. I'm broke as fuck and already failing to pay my bills. But I need to pay a programmer to help me out with getting the game finished. I'm thinking about selling my car or moving back in with my parents just so I can continue development for a few more months. I want to quit my job so I can focus on game development 100%, but I can't afford to do that for at least awhile.

I started a patreon and might do a kickstarter still. Kind of shameless but anything that can help fund the game means a better game in the end, so I'll do what I must in order to deliver the best product possible.

I'm going to be spending most of my free time shaping up the Patreon page so people can get a fair grasp of what I'm making. (I don't really want to scam anyone... or drag it out for more than 12 months.) Which ultimately means even less time for real game development progress. Pretty exhausting but stopping was never an option.

>I started a patreon and might do a kickstarter still
remember to actually follow through if it succeeds, or else you're just destroying your golden ticket by being lazy.

Had a intersting dream few months ago. Strangely, it was about me making a horror game.
It took place in a simple, but large openworld city, which was completely empty. Very little ambient sound, empty clean streets with nicely parked cars. The goal of the game was to simply survive as long as posible.
The thing is, there was a lone monster / ghost in the city. It always knows where the player is and it is comming for him. Sooner or later it will catch up to him, Sometimes It makes loud noises which can be heard over large distance. Game had all the survival things like day / night cycle, hunger and thirst an so on. There were other things but I can't remember those.

What do you think. Could this be made into a realy thing?

Too cliche, user. You could make a game and have a ton of people follow you like earthbound if done right, but in the end this feels way too overused. Main characters with no memories of what happened to them is just shit

Why not make the game start as you, the main character, with your father giving you a bath? Why not expand with the mother being pissed off at you because you cost too much to live? Why not actually just do the scenes that traumatized the main character instead of just letting them in the open for people to discover?

I'm getting really bored with programming for the time being. Would it be a waste of time to learn some art stuff on the side? Might as well make my own walking simulator, as long as its pretty. Getting really bored with Unity primitives.

It's laughable how many devs say this. It takes years to make something that will actually impress people.

Try me

i need a theme for my 16 player racing game, im just gonna make it low poly with lots of different modes instead of it just being a vanilla racing game

You right. It seems really easy to let your Patreon or Kickstarter become a monument of shame. And even successful crowd funding is a lot of extra work if you do it right.

I kind of fucking dread it to be honest, because I just want to make video juegos, but like I said, I'll do what I got to do.

i think he's using his own library or something

It's fine. Remember that one of the most popular games from the past few years was even less than that.

so software rendering?

It would take fucking forever to animate that, especially the banner.

there's so many cocksuckers that use patreon and kickstarter and deliver nothing. if you simply show progress updates every once in a while, and actually interact, you'll have no problems at all.

What superfluous features do you want in your vidya?

For me, it's a vocal track for the main theme or credits. I wouldn't know where to start with hiring a lyrics writer and a singer.

Not the best idea. You need more to keep players around. Even something like Alien Isolation added the Working Joe's as a sort of appetizer for the main event. And if the gameplay loop is just survive, you'd need a lot more.

dynamic jazz music where the big band kicks in when you're aggressive, and falls back to drum and bass when you're running away, or too far from the boss.

Yeah. Making it real would require a lot of work, but I really like the basic idea. Had similiar nightmares as a kid all the time. Being in a familiar place, but nobody was there and something was just not right. And then there was something stalking me. Both faster and stronger than me. Could make nice little horror game. Or I could think of more things and make it into something slightly bigger and more complex. Maybe one day.

My game yielded me about 10k in 1 year. If I lived in a civilized country, I would probably be starving. But in my shithole that's a LOT of money.

new grass looks a lot better. the dirt needs a bit of detail.

Exactly. I doubt the user thinks he'd be some sort of Yoji Shinkawa in a week. Or just look at someone like Lucas Pope, who apparently is incapable of being bad at anything.

How did you monetize? Mobileshit?

Is this legal?

Isn't that Ape Out?

What gaem

sorta, but i mean more big band like "rush" from cowboy bebop.

Nigga automating shit is what programmers do. Several accountants have been replaced with a bash script.

I've showed progress on a project on Yea Forums in the past. Praise helps motivate me and kills feelings of "I'm wasting my time with this" and "this is a waste of time nobody is ever going to use this." I guess it depends on you. I've heard that telling people you're going to do something makes a mental checkbox that you've already done it and demotivates you from actually doing it, but when I tell someone I'll do something I feel compelled to do it because I owe them it, so I make it.

It does take forever

Most of them are already animated though so there's no going back now

Oh, you wrote bots? I was thinking you hired a pajeet to do your work for you.

Well, I fully support it. I want more big band, jazzy soundtracks in gaming. TF2 remains one of my favorite OST's. You just can't beat that energy.

seeing how much work this takes and knowing i could animate it in a few minutes in 3d makes me really respect good pixel art. also, i love your art style.

No, not the original person, but many IT jobs are just automating routines and fucking around all day while pretending to be busy.

Aren't you afraid that once your boss realizes you've automated your job that you aren't needed anymore?

I don't think you realize how little most bosses at your average shitter office know about tech

not him, but you never fully automate for this exact reason. just enough that it would fall apart without you.

thanks man

Thanks, I'll work on the dirt next!

Yeah, like I said in another post, it does come down to each person. Some are motivated by it, others feel satisfied by the praise and quit while they're ahead, or just endlessly delay actually working on it.
Makes me regret not studying programming.
I have heard stories before of people doing this. Making systems purposely obtuse just so the boss keeps you around because teaching someone else how the system works would be too much of a pain.

Toby already had experience with homestuck and making his own earthbound hack. He also knew people jacked off to characters he drew for shit and giggles so he had everything set for himself

This. Use Hopoo instead, a good boy who kept posting progress on /agdg/ and never shitting up threads. Transitioned from 2D to surprisingly well developed 3D. Toby is an autist who just made some more MS paint dots and slapped them in game maker for his "sequel".

then what are other good free alternatives for an engine that can support 3d

Meh. That's life though. 98% of everything is shit, including people. Most people are motivated by passing whimsy and have no self-awareness whatsoever. None of that is any reason to just give up on finding that group of people you resonate well with, like did.

The benefits of finding that group vastly outweigh the bullshit you have to wade through before you find it. Imagine if you found some people you liked, shared tastes with to enough of an extent to get along with them, and you came up with a vision that united everyone as a team and let them be creative (while of course having to make some compromises, but such is REALITY, which is about making compromises to get anywhere, all the time) so you could make a game that you were proud of in a reasonable amount of time. And maybe you'll even start up a company with that group, and continue making games with them, if your game turns out successful. Sounds like the dream to me.

I'm prettty autistic I guess but I already have 3 games planned, the whole story, scenario, character motivations, color palettes, backgrounds, mechanics, core gameplay, level design. Pretty much everything is on paper, just coding and graphics are needed. I learned a bit of code and did Unity tutorials but then kinda got bored

If it's the first time you've ever attempted to make a game ever then what tool you use barely matters. You're not going to make much of a game that is worth playing.

Making a game isn't just about learning to code, there is a ton of shit you need to know. The tool you want to use is just one of them.

What you're saying right now is basically like saying "I'm a sperm that just got shot out of my daddies nuts, if I watch a youtube video will I be able to win the tour de france?".
Of course not, there is a thousand steps between where you are and where you want to be and you can't skip any of them.

Have you tried adding a bit of shadow under the characters? I think it'd help a bit to make them more grounded.

With Open GL and stuff is quite easy as hell.
But well, you can have fun with 2x2 matrices and scanline stuff.

i'd play this bro

Hmmmm, that would work and In that case I could also ask my sister to help because she loves shitty RPGs maker horror games and has said before that she'd like to make her own.

Yeah, ground shadows are on the to do list. Also at fault is the fact that right now the AI shuffling is pretty floaty

Should I even bother working on my grand idea for a game I'd like to sell someday, or should I just work on janky prototypes?

Here's some low poly for ya!

just don't make it one consistent spooks galore. make it a couple spooks galore with a couple of spoopy areas so it can be replayed for all eternity.

is it even a good idea?

hot

So which one is better for animating arms/legs?

i would kill myself playing this

I don't even know, I just know its a lot of work. I have a few ideas. One's a grid-based wargame like Advance Wars. Another is a small open-world game about collecting things without getting killed.

Working on these ideas probably means nothing if I fuck them up.

making a story is like making a song basically mix mash everything you like into one thing that you know can be consistent, and try your best to articulate a story in your game if you use any at all.

well boy you gonna show me your neg hole

Being ugly is a requirement.

I used to be very inspired about making games, then I had 1 year off of developing anything... then 2 years off coding anything... now I get so overwhelmed just starting things up again that I never actually making anything

where's Godot

I made some graphics for the waterfall blocks, I'm testing out several speeds to see what looks best, I'll probably stick with 0.25.

That is the most sensual box I have ever seen.

I dunno man, I don't even have a story for either of my games. Just a sort of "game feel" that I don't see enough in other games out there.

very well, we have most of our character abilities in, gonna work on the overworld

>game where you play as mincraft slime

Not much done on the programming side. I got my grandpa's keyboard recently though. Been learning how to play it and stuff. Other than that writing scenarios for my text adventure.

Maybe you don't like making games, you'd just like for those games to exist so that you can play them.

I had one week to clone Pacman.
I started doing it just 2 days ago.
Cloning Pacman was harder than I thought, especially because I did the whole "Grid" way. And the fucking ghosts have way too many rules and shit.

the one on the right

Maybe you're right. Maybe I should just learn to like making games even if they're shit.

Yep. This will probably happen with any game you try to clone.

yeah, the ghost ai is probably the hardest thing about pacman

i have the main concept of the game and made some enemy designs, not any actual progress tough
should i get my notebooks and show the designs here?

I wanna make a game. I can do the animation and music, but I have no idea how to program. Guess I can learn.

Where's a good place to learn how to code?

Attached: Cv3VjUnUIAI4uUR.jpg (1536x2048, 351K)

Simply wanting a game to exist is a good motivator to create it.

can you post more art? can you do pixel art?

The code ended up being a complete shitshow, I really gotta start working on Coding Architecture and shit. Every time I have to start something from scratch I end up having to redo 60% of it by the end, because shit doesn't fit.

Also again, FUCK the ghosts AI. I implemented a super basic A* pathfinding shit, but I still have no idea how to make it so they don't suddenly change directions, as the Ghosts aren't supposed to do so.

Sure, can pixel art. But I'm curious to know how to approach coding. Never bothered researching how, but was hoping to get a kick in the right direction.

I'm willing to learn, got the time and always wanted to make a game.

Pretty good drawing.

The big meme is Khan Academy. It won't make you an expert but it can teach you some basic shit. And its free. Once you learn very basic shit just download a free game engine and follow tutorials on youtube.

If you have money and free time but lack willpower then go to a school I guess.

id say do what other are suggesting, download unity, take some time to youtube tuts. that said i was asking because im making a game with a bunch of dudes and we need another artist

I've studied college algebra with Khan Academy. I found him really helpful. Never dove much into his other sections after I stopped taking math classes. Wasn't aware he taught programming.

Thanks for the info, user!

Godot is great (for 2D, not sure how it is with 3D)! I'm using it myself. Be confident in any engine choice you make. The last thing you want is to be hopping from engine to engine not actually getting anything done. I learned it by just starting to make my project, think of an aspect of your game you know you need to make that's simple (for my game it was the dialogue box) and implement that, then move on to the next thing you feel you can do confidently. There's lots of good resources for troubleshooting since Godot has a big community to it similar to blender.

I see.
Unfortunately, I'm working on my portfolio for a different project so I'll be unavailable for other work. But I thank you for your interests.

So it sounds grabbing Unity and following Tutorials all the while studying under Khan Academy as I trial and error numerous times creating my "game" is the idea. It isn't gonna be a full blown game, I just wanna get hands wet in a personal project and see what comes of it.

l-l-lewd

can i use unity for 2d

Reading this thread makes me depressed about me never starting my game development.
Right now I have time but once I get a full time job that's gone forever and my chances of ever learning how to make my dreams come true will be next to none, unless I somehow keep myself motivated for 10 years or something, at which point I will probably move on from vidya altogether anyway. I already kind of am.

looks great, can't wait for multiplayer beta

I'm not sure about you, but the lads who made Hollow Knight certainly could.

Don't bother learning code, the redpilled approach is to focus on your talents and find a partner that can code for you

Yes although it's usually not advisable since it's an engine that focuses on 3D. But yes. Hollow Knight or Ori and the Blind Forest are Unity for example.

That's some bitch ass pussy shit attitude right there, user. How about you stop being a bitch and get your ass back to programming!

Attached: enMb3hy.jpg (1234x569, 267K)

that would actually make a really fucking scary game

>I never started boohoo

Only got yourself to blame. Making a video game is easier than it's ever been. Simple google search will find you a whole range of software of all skill levels to use and another simple google search will find you enough learning material to last several lifetimes.

Everything you want is 10 seconds away, if that. The fact that you never even took this initial, tiny starting step is entirely on you and if we're being honest, if you couldn't even do this, you'd have never made anything remotely resembling a game.

making games is fun desu but doesn't pay unless you're great at it. either live in the cheapest possible neighborhood working part time living off rice and lentils to be able to make your game or find something else you enjoy doing for money. (yes I learnt this the hard way)

Stop SENDING me EMAILS

nice, very nice

>the namebadge says ouch

First time I noticed

gamemaker has really low amount of tutorials despite its age... well, there are a lot of tutorials that go through the same basic shit, but only few of them actually do something more complex

It needs an end goal, every survival game needs one, otherwise you have the full experience the moment you lose for the first time. Surviving by itself is not particularly compelling unless you're surviving for a goal.

Started to dive in to Unity ECS. It is fun, but not as easy as normal Unity.

No but i already got it approved by people actually in the industry as a thing i should put in my portfolio. Faggot.

Have you seen Steam? People try to sell less.
But I mostly asked cause these sort of "user created content" platforms usually have people all excited only to be quickly backstabed by the company if they see something they like. EA had that coding contest that said EA had full control over all the code, even if you didn't win. Facebook is trying to launch some patreon like thing that says Facebook has full rights over anything posted. Expected to see the same from Sony.
Even though you said yourself that you don't have any experience in any of the areas that takes to make a game?

>Even though you said yourself that you don't have any experience in any of the areas that takes to make a game?
No experience with programming. But that doesn't mean i don't understand how the mechanics should work logically.

I put this together in a couple days. I haven't worked on it in a few weeks though. I'm just so inexperienced with programming and game making that I literally don't know what to do or where to go. This is my first game. I wish I could collaborate with some other game dev newbies. I'll probably miss this AGDG demo day, because I really only want to show it off when I have something fun.

That looks incredible

I mean sure but rocket jumping isn't a complex mechanic to understand. I never touched Dreams so I don't know how easy/hard it is to make what you make, I'm just trying to understand what value this would have in a portofolio. If you did it in Unity or Unreal from scratch, I'd understand. I'll have to look into Dreams since I honestly forgot it even exists.

disregard that user, i think the brightness you had is fine

But i said it was from scratch.

I'm not saying that I willl never try to collab with anyone on here again, but much like the other guy said, getting a winning team is going to be an exception and down to good luck. I would love to work with someone that's just as motivated.

In Dreams. Again, I'll have to look more into it since I don't know if it's as complex as an actual game engine.

You have to make everything logically. There are no presets.

She's right though. Make a good porn game VN, set up a patreon that drip feeds updates and you're set for life.

Not even for the animations? That would be much more impressive, I'll admit.
Either way, I wasn't trying to discredit you. If anything, I wanted to make sure you didn't spend a year working on a dream game only for Sony to fuck you by taking it away from you without even giving you proper credit.
