don't use an engine, use a framework

soul, just watch it will look like shit but the story will end up being kino and somehow longer than most AAA rpgs.

Draw your focus, then draw yourself fucking it. Whenever you slow down, look at that drawing, and remember who got you to draw it. That's the kind of sucker that's going to buy your game.

>Draw your focus, then draw yourself fucking it
Stupidest advice I've ever got.

I'm working on a game, but my question is whats the best way to viral your game?

Please give me some ideas on how to share what 'm working on

I mean, just from the looks of it, it's not any better or worse than undertale.

And what is a framework?

>seems pretty soulful to me
Unironically this. Main character is cute, would play. If only it wasn't an RPG but like WarioWare styled craziness.

unironically twitter, make sure to use #GameDev #MadeWithXEngine and other similar tags, hopefully some small accounts with 10-20k followers retweets and from there it all goes downhill by itself

i feel targeted

Where do I even go for learning art fundamentals

Had to put the development on hiatus for 2 weeks now. Will proceed tomorrow and next week. I plan to do complete about 10 level for my 2D puzzle game.

This is only said by people who intuitively get how to code. In my experience you can either draw or you can code, but rarely both. Both skillsets require completely different mindsets.

MonoGame, Löve2D and LibGdx are the most well known

It can load and unload objects quite well now, after a hilarious bug where a buffer overflow rewrote part of the code to create a code that rewrote another part of the code, and this caused some completely non-sense sprite object glitches.

Everyone says to start small, but fuck that. I'm starting big with an action game, I'm not gonna make some teeny pixel indie game with some faggot bois of soi on dicksword.
I'm currently writing the first draft of the story and design document. It's been pretty haphazard and rough since this is my first time doing something like this, but it's also been pretty fun. I intend to slowly work on it over the next few years and when I'm ready, I'll try pitching it to publishers and shit first because crowdfunding is cancer and unwieldy.
I just hope by the time I'm done, no one will have already made it.

Hang on, that scrolling... is this a motherfucking msx game?
That's fucking dope, how hard is it to code for that kind of hardware?

You're completely fucked.
Unless you will somehow miraculously find a programmer, you should try to make small shit just for yourself, just to gain level.
Because if you from "never did nothing" to "bigass program", you WILL get yourself fucked

>bothering with any engine other than Unity
Unity is easy as fuck and you can do pretty much anything with it in both 2D and 3D games.

MSX 2,yes.
It's harder than the NES, but not sega saturn hard.
You just have a shitton of memory and gotta use it well.

Ah, to be young

frameworks are hard as balls to use,while engines do a lot of work for you and pretty much hold your hand, frameworks only give you the basics to work with, I use monogame and it's a fucking bitch to use compared to anything else, it just gives you a update/draw function, a couple structs like vector2, rectangles and some classes like drawables
you wanna make the game load a level? you have to code the whole system yourself, you want to make a menu? you have to code EVERYTHING in it yourself, same with physics and movement and pretty much any gameplay related thing

computer science and programming retards are just ultra jealous of gamedevs because gamedevs actually enjoy what they do and aren't souless drones

I don't have an idea.

I'm trying to do an inventory system in UE4, but every bit of information out there assumes you're making one of those open world survival games with limited slots. Is it better to have a set number of slots or just add them as more items are collected akin to RPGs like Pokemon?

If you can't even do a simple google search then I doubt gamedev is for you

So which engine should I use to try making something/learn?

I'm basically down to unity or unreal. I know C programming to a certain extent. I've made some drivers and programmed microcontrollers and so on but never done any real games.

The reason people say start small is so that you've done one whole game cycle, so you have experience if the whole thing, letting others play it, getting feedback and putting out updates. You don't get any of that if you skip this stage.
Its fine, you don't NEED to, there just are benefits to doing it, and I know that when I go most of a year without a release, there are some quality of life things missing because I didn't get more eyes on it.

Fixed number if grid system, add more if string list.

While somewhat true, if you bite the bullet and make even the simplest of things using a framework, then when switching over to an engine he'll have a better idea of how everything works under the hood and be grateful of how much the engine does for you

If that is too balls hard, is it possible that a script could exist where you control your character and actions with your mouse and have things similar in RPG Maker?

I love the ideas I have, but once I start seeing them solidify I start losing interest. It's hard because you want to make a game for yourself, yet you know absolutely everything there is to know about your game so once it starts taking shape the mystery and intrigue is gone.

Who else here /rpgmaker/?
Most soulful engine there is, and if you learn JS you can do anything you want.

Attached: 747jIcC.jpg (960x540, 122K)

IIRC original fallouts were just still images with zones drawn on top delimiting where the player could and could not walk.

Rpg maker mv has mouse control built on, yeah. It's possible to make something like fallout with it, but youd need to learn to code to do it right.

Hm, i never tried out MV before, but i have used a crack of VX Ace for years. I sort of want to make a fun little comical game where its turn based and you can control your movement/selections with your mouse cursor, how is MV compared to Ace?

the assets, besides the jelly girl and the mushroom things, look like temporary programmer art

looks great, the snap when grabbing a ladder is kind of jarring though.

the look reminds me of Chameleon Twist.

I use it but for the opposite reason. It is braindead simple and focused on one single genre: traditional turn-based JRPGs. So if I that's what I want to make I already have 80% of the job done, and as luck would have it I want to make one. It's funny though how the biggest fucking community in RPG Maker seems to be focused around story-driven horror games with 0 turn based battles, since the engine was clearly not built for that and there are better alternatives. Also whatever the fuck this is.

Attached: QueenIsBestLogo.png (400x360, 49K)

NES have many things over the MSX 2 such as flipping sprites, having a much simpler sprite system overall, a better standard audio system, but the memory is just tiny, and the background color tile is annoying, specially if you're trying to make a scroller.

I know, when i get a good idea i fix it.
Also still need to implement the whole "bent on the top of the stairs", and shooting from the stairs.

I don't fucking care about nerd shit like the programming, I wanna be the director, designer, art director, and writer. I'll find the geeks needed to handle the technical side when I get funded, if that ever happens. I'm entirely not a retard, I'm not thinking I can rush this document out to a publisher get it made right fucking now. I said I would be working on this in my own time, over several years, for fun. I'm working on other skills such as graphic design, illustration, and music to add onto the design document. The shit that is visible and actually interesting.
My game probably won't get made, but even if it doesn't, it's still fun to dream and write and imagine in my spare time. I'm not banking on this game being my main thing. I'm not banking on game making at all like some of these other self hating nerds wasting time on boring shit and trying to do it all themselves right here right now.
As for making small things, maybe in the future I'll find eggheads that aren't insufferable, don't despise themselves, and I can stand to be around and collaborate with them for fun. But I'm not doing the programming because that shit's for nerds.
And at least I'm writing SOMETHING, thats one step above the stupid fucking "ideas guy" that does absolutely nothing, expecting to walk right into fucking EA headquarters and say "I HAVE A REALLY GOOD IDEA THATS LIKE UHHH ZELDA BUT WITH GUNS N SHIT HIRE ME!"

tr;dr (too retarded;didnt read): Programming is for nerds. I'm just writing a big dream game document on my spare time for funsies. Not really expecting it to get made RIGHT NOW or ever, nor am I banking on it and game making for a career and money. Fine, might try to find find some people to make a little game with that I can write for and grab some experience with the process.

VX games will run on a toaster, have a small footprint, but MV will run on pc, mac, Linux and smartphones.
Its basically pimped out chrome, runs on JS. It goes on sale a few times a year for very little. I recommend it, I've used it for about 3000 hours in the last 3 years, really come to like it, but I've never used the inbuilt battle system or anything.
The battle system you mention is totally possible, but youd likely need to program it yourself.

Looks like an old newgrounds flash game, it certainly has some charm. I am not an artist either so sorry I can't provide any comments on how to improve, but if you "compacted" your scenes a little so there wasn't so much empty space I would gladly play a game that looked like this.

If you're starting your game by the story and graphics, you're doing it wrong.
This is an interactive media, and as such, the FIRST THING IN YOUR MIND should be the gameplay.
But for that you don't need to become the next john carmack.
You can literally be the cancer UE4 blueprint guy that use it to test around and get a proof of concept, THEN the nerds implement your proof of concept better.

Looks kinda boring

what if the gameplay is literally X clone?

That's because I'm just flying somewhere.

lol, fuck The Onion

Then get a X level editor at least, because your art will have to fit the level design and vice versa.

Seconding, also +1 on the compacting part, the restaurant could be much smaller than it is and get the same idea across. Its a common newfriend mapping trend, just bring it in a bit, make the room more distinctive and have less dead space. I like the signs and things everywhere, they're cute and funny

Thanks, I love those ald newgrounds games so maybe that`s why it looks like that. I need to make the maps more compact but they also seem so empty because they`re all unfinished and I`m a lazy fuck.

show not flying

can MV do 360 movement or has rpg maker never gotten to that yet in its latest installments?

>And at least I'm writing SOMETHING, thats one step above the stupid fucking "ideas guy"
You think idea guys don't write anything down? Or that they don't draw out simple visual mockups? Or that they don't create prototypes of their game with placeholder assets?

Sometimes simple art is enough, but you are correct that getting a proper artist goes a LONG way.

Honestly, just learning how to do it is kind of fun if you have a passing interest in game design. Look up some beginner tutorials and follow along, then try to work things out and change things to suit your preferences. Do it as a little personal project instead of thinking how you can make the next big thing that everybody wants. Nobody even has to play it.

You just make it. What exactly is the problem here? If you're asking about funding then you either need to make it while working part time, talk to a publisher, or go on kickstarter

Actually set a road map on your features with definite dates and times and actually finish the goals.

>I'm not sure why you're getting all of this hate ITT.
Because space doesn't work that way.

Focus on the core gameplay loop without worrying about art, music, or writing. Only start working on and finalizing those as your prototype gets fleshed out, or if you're a super visual person and need the game to not look like ass before you can judge its merits. Unfortunately, it's not easy to start a game unless you're already a programmer or have access to one.

Establish and meet your deadlines. Make it clear to everyone who needs to know them, be it Kickstarter/Indiegogo/Fig backers or publishers or investors. And this doesn't mean work yourself rotten, it means set yourself on a clear and obvious timeline so that way you know when things should be happening.

How would you go about making money on a porn game patreon wouldn't allow?

Lol, if you're any good then absolutely. For every actually skilled artist there are 5 devs who need them. Learning to code is a fuckton easier than learning to art

I don't code anymore but if I did I'd jizz if someone said this.

That's probably the easiest out of the things that are absolutely necessary. Learning art as a programmer or programming as an artist is the real fucking hard part.

I would definitely make an HD Akka Arrh remaster if I had any of the autistic talents and know-how like coding or art design necessary to do so.

On first.

Rapid prototype, if not fun drop it and move on. Check out rimworld devs blogs about it.

You should fairly quickly know a game is fun, and it should excite you to implement ideas.

If it's neither, drop it... At least for now.

nah, can't code or draw for shit and I don't have the patience to start learning. Good luck with your projects, anons

Ouch.

AND and bitshift are your best friends.
bitshift (>> in this case) allow you to divide the point you want to test to get to the tile level without using a heavy as fuck divide.
And AND allow you to see WHERE in the tile the point is.
like, if it's 8x8, you do xpos=xtest & 7; This will give you the position in the tile, to allow to do shit like testing if your test point is hitting the top or bottom of the tile etc..

How do I learn to code? What language should I learn specifically and where/how do I learn it?

Attached: strength.jpg (960x1280, 135K)

That's spancy. Good tip

Stupid specific question here, but when working on a larger game where organization of code and objects is very important, how do you actually handle the logic that tells your Renderer module to actually render something? I keep all graphics logic out my game objects.

For example if your player shoots a gun, and your Player (p) shoots, triggering p.shoot(), how does the renderer get that information in an organized way so that when Renderer.render(game) renders the next frame, it knows to render a shooting animation, all in an organized way. Obviously I can do this easily by mixing game logic and render code, but I don't want to do that.

i was supposed to be done this 2 years ago

What is the best way to do collision detection diagonally?

>this question
Think of an idea and Google the language to make it. Don't learn a language and then think of a project. Languages are tools, not all jobs need hammers.

Now that's cute the other one wasn't bad, I'm just not a furfag myself
what kind of game did you have in mind?

Who's on second?

Here's what you do user. Download Reaper (free DAW, you need DAWs to make music), look up some good free synths (I recommend Synth1) and free plugins for reverb, chorus, distortion, etc. and download them, and just learn how to approximate sounds you hear in music all the time. It will seem almost impossible at first, but in reality it will take less than a month for the basics and after that you're good. It won't be great music (that requires investment in professional hardware like monitors and learning the subtleties of EQ and compression and shit), but it will be good enough to pass. Mixing will be the second big obstacle for you, but they have excellent resources for this in the /prod/ sticky on Yea Forums so check those out and you'll be good.

That sounds complex as hell, but once you get it it's like tying your shoes, so don't get anxious about it. One more thing: If you're not averse to pirating, you can skip using free software and just download Ableton and the best software money can buy, since this will improve your sound tenfold with barely any effort. This is what all bedroom producers starting out do now because paying $500 for some plugin is a meme and only richfags spend real money on them. I suggest this then if pirating is no issue. That should be good enough to get you started.

Maybe RPG stuff where I'm more confident with 2D arts, with fantasy settings?

No, because you will inevitably become the person in the OP and even if you do make something that is clever and has good gameplay, it will be a disaster because single-man projects never work out and always lack on something that is their downfall.

Do what I do and take up writing.

cool, you got a discord of something?

I know absolutely nothing about programming, so I have a few questions.
If I want to make something like a 2D platformer, what engine or framework do I use? I downloaded LOVE already, maybe that's enough?
Where should I get my fundamentals for coding from?
Are there dedicated programs to make music and art for the games I want to make or are things like that included in engines/frameworks?
That's all, for now.

I was so focused on art, sprites, and music that I haven't been doing a lot of programming and I really need to crack down on it. I didn't realize how much time doing eight directional sprites would take for top down minish-cap styled aesthetics.

Cage#7742

I like it, the running speed is a bit slow even though I can clearly see it's taken from Mega Man. The problem is that Mega Man stages are smaller and thus he doesn't have as far to run.

What if nobody else will make it though? I wanted an 8 player online coop shmup to exist, but just couldn't find one. So I had to make it. Definitely don't wan't to ever do a 1 man project again though after this. So much work haha

Attached: 7.jpg (1920x1080, 233K)

Unity will have the most examples, tutorials, youtube videos, to get you going. Lots of people hate on Unity, but it's popular for a reason. Unity has demo projects with in depth tutorials explaining how/why they made what they made. I would suggest doing 1 or more of those to get jumpstarted right into gamedev.

This looks interesting. Did you code this from scratch?

Shmups are fine and you'll probably do pretty good for yourself.
Unique ideas are usually the exception to the rule because there are others like yourself out there that want to experience it.

I didn't exactly designed the level very well.
Both the tiles and level design were a bit of "lemme just do this quick thing" instead of spending some hours.
Also it might be some few frames slower than megaman because the sprite upload engine combined with the sprite setup engine and background engine etc end up causing some missed frames.
But its a matter of optimizing the thing.

No physical, no buy. Steam code obviously doesn't count.

I just started on one a short time ago. So far I have basic physics and controls, and a static character sprite. Learning everything else has gone pretty smoothly thus far, but figuring out how to make any sort of decent music proved a bit overwhelming. I'll probably end up just using some free assets rather than banging my head against that particular wall.

Physical is like my endgame, I'll try

Once you're ready to upgrade minor things, I think some more simple animations or indications would go a long way, like in that first clip when you're absorbing the green goop or when you're picking up the mushroom bros projectiles to fling back. There could just be more of an oomph or at least make it a little more obvious that that's what's going on.

Ideally, you create a separate "attribute map" with the collision data aligning up with the real tiles.
0 for free air, 1 for block, 2 for block you can jump thru, 3 for ramp.. you know.

One tiny thing is that transition from the stage to the food menu in the restaurant is pretty fast and jarring, but again that's just another polishing detail.

Use an existing game engine.

Looks really cool. Is there a site for custom maps like this? How do you get others to play your map?

I think that my problem is that I need closely related names, for class advancement. So if I'm having a class that branches off from "warrior" into "vampiric warrior", I need a few names for that category. your list is pretty good but there's several that I can't use due to different focus in culture.

Or if you're a good developer who finds art really difficult.
And has been down the game dev road (for years and years) and knows for certain there are less good artists than good developers .
And don't project your insecurities onto an non board.

When you've been doing this for a bit and realise it's like anything else you get a bit more humble.

Yo, I've had real game dev jobs for 4 years, on top of 15 years of hobbyist shite. It doesn't work this way. By all means, keep the dream alive- but always remember it's just a dream. Don't stake your life or your happiness on it. You will gain skills and save money and make valuable connections. Unfortunately, creative success requires so much more. To start with, consider that all those connections have dream games of their own.

My new job is at a studio made by former AAA devs. We do almost entirely contract work. Nothing sexy, but I can respect the realism.

>nobody wants to work their whole lives on someone else's dream
Why? It's easier and in the end we're both irrelevant. He made more money I had more time for my daughter. Fair.

Not all of us want to be "something". Some of us want to be Dads, have a respectable house and a few cars.

I remember some devs I knew who were all about yachts and making their own companies. Not a single one of them has done anything. I wonder how many people would have done great as a service to others and not to themselves. Money and power. Sure fire way to lose yourself and what else might matter.

If you're a game designer of a popular game and you actually own your IP you can certainly afford it

damn dude I thought we could connect... :(

>I remember some devs I knew who were all about yachts and making their own companies. Not a single one of them has done anything
Does that mean they're unsuccessful or that they're successful without doing any work?

>My new job is at a studio made by former AAA devs. We do almost entirely contract work. Nothing sexy, but I can respect the realism.

That sounds nice.

The mentality of the "special" who think they're better than their job and "know" they'll run their own company. I wonder if they actually worked hard with some humility for someone else how much more likely that pipe dream would have been.

>don't have sound or art abilities

They still work for other people. Doing pretty much the same things. Probably just a lot more depressed with themselves.

It's ok to dream big but not to the detriment of what you already have. They didn't work hard because they knew they were better than that. So not such a surprise when they're not even senior devs yet, nearly 9 years later.

Yeah well there's dreams and then there's fantasies
You can say you dream of being super-rich but unless you take it seriously and put the effort in it's just a fantasy

No, I'm not.

I can get behind that a bit, but it seems these days so many entitled dreamers think this way it's almost a better idea to lay it down as the law of nature rather than a possibility.

There is a very very high chance your big dreams will not come true. It's better to live life knowing that with the determination to get through it then to belittle everything you currently do because you know your big dream is coming.

Slippery slope. Probably better to tell people the truth; you probably ain't shit. So "probably" that I can probably take "probably" out of the sentence.

I just want their money.

Mostly correct. Some people are lucky, lucky cunts.

no shit, faggot. you're not saying anything profound, you're just saying it to be a cunt because you're one of the cunts who didn't make it

Loads of people are lucky lucky cunts. I'd say very few truly earn all of their wealth.

My dream is similar, and it's working great. Life's pretty good.

Let me guess, you made it.
No? Shocker.

I want to make a Thief spiritual successor.

basically everything in your post has already been figured out by everyone else. you've reached the same conclusion everyone else has, including me. the odds of success are weighed against everybody. but the fact that you're bringing it up like it's some sage advice is just an insufferable thing i see so many losers on their way down try to do. what you've said has no value because it's already common knowledge, and it's not going to stop anybody from pursuing their dream. the truth is that the people who "make it" are just as naive as the people who fail, the difference is mostly luck, timing, and persistence.

You're dead right; I really ought to know better than to try to give a kid with his MMOFPSRTSRPG dream game a reality check.

Oh so you think that your contrarian pov is profound. I see. You truly are sage. No one has thought to question my common man stance. Wow. Truly wisdom. Such think. Plato.

>made it farther than you :^)
I really don't believe that's true. But maybe.

Your loss. I grab all of my torrents from there and ruTracker and haven't any issues in years. I don't use any anti-virus either.

What other wild animals have you played with and why are you playing with wild animals?

>I don't use any anti-virus either.
Duh, I thought that's what the 7 proxies were for. Good luck to them.

You never try to befriend and play with wild animals?

Ducks, Capybara, Emu, Kangaroo. I love animals. Birds will fly onto my hand and eat the feed.

Played with a Capybara in Canada once. He was so chill, just let me pet him. In Australia I pet a few wild kangaroos, which was pretty scary. An Emu once. Oh and I nearly got to pet a deer but my friend purposely scared it right before contact cause he's a cunt.

Do I have to do a Kickstarter/Patreon? I don't want people to think I'm a scammer/cheapskate.

Maybe only Yea Forums thinks like that. All the normies either don't care or actually like it.

Holy fucking shit user, your game is giving me the chills, that is basically a recurring dream I've been having for years as slightly different dreams involving giant structures, space and flying atmospheric lifeforms/jellyfish.
I need a demo, please don't give up on your game.

Your market is normies. Yea Forums doesn't even like or play games.

do you already have at least 5k combined followers on social media? If not then start using those #

Wow. I'd play that.

>the truth is that the people who "make it" are just as naive as the people who fail, the difference is mostly luck, timing, and persistence.
Persistence is a given- it's practically a given that you can't ship a game product without that. Luck and timing (same thing) are certainly necessary for dream games to take off in a crowded market. But you're missing other more controllable factors like prudence, realism, research etc. Watch this dude's talk:
youtube.com/watch?v=LlAc5sBtGkc

At the end of the day, being an ignoramus dreamer is a choice. You really can lead a virtuous and full life regardless of which circle of dev hell your dream game lives in at the moment.

Like I said, I plan for a demo sometime this month. All I've got left for that is a few demo quests.

depends on your audience

just finished doing some sprites today

I want to eventually do my own project, but for now I'm trying to get practice working on other people's games.

You do you own graphics?

He's a profound visionary, you just don't get it.

>frameworks are hard as balls to use
HAHAHAHAHA
I really am on Yea Forums
Please, use a library.
Frameworks are bloat. Engines are not to be thought of.

>Frameworks are bloat
most game frameworks are fairly simple and unbloated honestly

recommend any?

I know what that is. I have to keep the shading in order of what's already been done for the project, though.

Here's some other examples.

that's alot better, but using your darkest shading tone for your outline still makes it look a bit pillow shaded

SDL2 is pretty much the GOAT multimedia framework if you aren't after loads of bloat, its basically one step above opengl and provides cross platform windowing and input. It's a good starting point for both 2D and 3D if you want to avoid using an engine and feel like writing almost everything yourself.

If you try to use sdl2 for a 3d game you will never make and release a fucking game.

yep that's the main pitfall of attempting such a thing

Notch literally posted his pre-pre-alpha shit on Yea Forums

and where is he now? a fat loser who spends all day whining on twitter
nobody here will ever make it

Art is too good. Need to make it look like shit so people go in with zero expectations only to be pleasantly dabbed on by dank memes and wacky characters.

>tfw you do all of your coding in gamemaker but no one respects what you do because people just assume you use shortcuts to make your games

>a fat loser who spends all day whining on twitter
Who is also worth two billion dollars.

The only people who respect code are other programmers and other programmers are all jealous crabs in a bucket who will find any reason to feel superior to someone else

If you don't use shortcuts why are you using gamemaker?

Its what I started with when I was younger and it just feels comfy to fire it up, I've been tempted to learn a "real" language, but I only really make 2D games anyway and Gamemaker feels plenty versatile for the dumb little projects I make

Not even me.

As for notch he was just a lightweight java game library bottom feeder. A large percentage of his personal posts were fanboyism of other people's work. He did little of his own and crossposted lots of code. Notch was more of a guy that just loved to read books which is why Twitter is a good choice for him in general.

As for Minecraft, I'm old so I found no appeal because in my youth I played blockland which was a better concept based on Lego but the novelty ran out fast. As for Microsoft with the advent of windows 10 and preinstalled bloatware. Minecraft was purchased for those purposes.

So you're saying a producer of bloatware posted his alpha content on Yea Forums. Sounds about right because there are more bots posting messages than people.

t. Boohoo le lazy genius
Just fucking learn. If you actually wanted to you already would have. Cut your Yea Forums shitposting time in half and fucking LEARN

what the fuck are you talking about

God damn this is crabs in a bucket x1000

Fucking hell

you actually need to delete this i am contacting the moderation team

Someone said that notch used to post here so they were told that's no big deal nor the money Microsoft spent to acquire Minecraft as they business model revolves around preinstallatiion of games on their operating system as spam which was then correlated directly to the bots that post to Yea Forums to self promote and make the site appear more active based on the archive kept to analyse trends.

Take this thread for example and how it has been made over a hundred times.

Money doesn't equal success.
Notch doesn't control the economy.

do you have schizophrenia

You have no idea what you were talking about, it was Notch himself talking to people, not bots.

kek how the fuck will OP ever recover
post your game on the general more often btw

>i'm not the only person who does this

Welp, so much for being a special snowflake.

You seem to of not understood that the user was referring to notches posts as spam.

I got hired by EA, starting this September.
From a shitty 3rd world country to this feels weird man.

Hey guys, should I try to create a patreon? How hard would it be to get noticed?
How would you go about keeping people subscribed to vidya development?

Bullshit.

Do you have schizophrenia?

This threads a joke.

kek have you moved to a real country already? what does infrastructure taste like to a starving man?

Do you have a bachelor?

Idiot.

only if you have fans willing to pay you

Idiot because?

Are you the schizo who made those threads about his shitty open source game and called everyone 'white man'

Not even kidding. I've worked on a few local game development companies, then as they died had to deal with backend shit. Saw earlier this year they were hiring and sent them my CV. Bunch of interviews and tests got an offer last Thursday .
I never left my mom's home, how the fuck will I live in another country?

Still in my shitty country, they said they'll fly me in when it's closer to the starting date.

You're moving to California yeah? It should be interesting. I have no idea what "third world" is for you (guessing you're from South America) but it shouldn't be that bad, life in the U.S. is very peaceful despite what it can look like online. I dunno if I'd be excited working for EA of all people but perhaps you can work your way into a comfy spot in the industry with some experience.

You're poor shut the fuck up.

Go back to /x/ with your mentally ill posting

I'd recommend Python for learning basic coding principles and syntax. It's very intuitive, and the programmer doesn't interact with the hardware on a low level like in C++.

mac, linux, windows, gamecube, psp, etc.. you can unironically run it on printers and shit. If you're planning on porting to consoles you'll likely need to rewrite your graphics and audio using the consoles chosen api as i've heard that most of them don't provide opengl or dx. The built in software renderer is pretty good as a fallback from what i've seen, although i've used it very little myself.

Are you just trying to sound stupid now?

Crippling depression and existential crisis have reached the point where absolutely nothing feels worth doing anymore, so now I came back to my project since I find it to be the most fun thing I can do with my free time.

So yeah it will probably start to pick up soon.

I really like C#. All the fun of Java without having to be verbose as fuck. Python was a bit too loose for me.

this, don't really get why people feel the need to move to other engines if all you want to do is make simple 2d games.

Python looks like spaghetti

Mentally ill posting in a thread full of homosexuals discussing how to earn a dollar the fastest. Yeah right as if even possible. This threads a amateur circlejerk that needs a new board dedicated for it. /jobs/ because you all lack one.

Thanks user. They're paying 75k, which I have absolutely no idea if it's any good.

No?

That's about 55k USD, yeah that's good. No clue how housing is in Montreal but that's a decent starting wage.

Notch shilled the fuck out of minecraft here on Yea Forums when he was making it. Some semi popular guy found it and posted it on YouTube. You never know who go in these threads.

As a rule of thumb, if you're getting imported from a third world country like brazil, someone of equal qualifications from the country you're moving to would be getting paid more. They wouldn't go through the trouble of importing you if you weren't a bargain. It's only "any good" if you want to get out of your home country and stay out, or amass wealth in a foreign country before heading home.

It is because 2D is a hassle to deal with. 3D makes a lot of things simpler. Especially in unreal engine
