How's your game coming along, Yea Forums? You have worked on your bane today, haven't you?

I wanna make an open worldish monster catching RPG like Pokemon, but with level design inspired by Hollow Knight. The different areas connect and loop around in very intricate ways, and you can more or less go anywhere right from the start. In fact, like in HK I want the player to be able to reach late game areas relatively early, if they find some of those intricate connections early. The reason this works btw, is cause unlike Pokemon, there won’t be random encounters, but rather all the monsters roam the land and can be avoided (sort of, some may aggro you).

You’d still have abilities you can unlock to progress through the game and increase your movement options ofc, but you can more or less accessa huge chunk of the make rather early. I guess you’d say it opens in chunks, and since the areas are modular and generally self contained there’s no need to worry about staunching progression.

Anyway, the one question is in regard to world design. I’m not a writer, I’m an artfag, so idk how I’d build the world since I don’t have a narrative for it. I really liked the verticallity of games like Dark Souls, Xenoblade 1, and the aforementioned Hollow Knight, but I’m not overly sure how well that could work for a game like this. Any ideas?

Every fad diet is passed as the "one correct diet" by its proponents with religious zeal. Including a bunch of MDs and nutritionists.
Pro Pro tip: science has no clue what a healthy diet is. Listen to your healthiest grandparents.

All my grandparents are deathly ill or dead.

Reminder that your game is trash and you'll never succeed

I made a game where you roll a ball and try to stop it from falling off. Laugh all you want but it's more than what half of you here will ever make.

ask someone else's grandparents...

I made a manga that got a million hits, so...

You can do whatever you want if you set your mind to it. No need to come in and be condescending toward others.

Got sidetracked drawing mario royale oc, got featured by the dev tho so that's nice.

S'true.
I did like "The Vertical Diet" as purported by some hypochondriac, but that basically echoed your sentiment and was more about consultation for athletes than giving regular peeps non-retarded material to work with.

Don't eat too much or you'll get fat, lifting and getting /fit/ isn't as much of a time investment as it seems, so on.

making some shit in gb studio to make it as fast as possible
I would rather learn code but that takes time and I just want to pump out projects

I tried that once. Nothing you show for it

You'll never get anywhere shitting out projects. Just make one that's good and spend the correct amount of time on it.

Wanting results for minimum effort is a shit mindset to have.

nice bootleg game

What is bootleg about it, user?

>Nothing you show for it
I just have a long-ass text document to develop the story and programing tricks and ideas with the limitations, as well as indecipherable temp graphics

I stopped working on it to deal with other stuff.
I might go back to it soon but I don't know.
I might have to change engines all together.

>You'll never get anywhere shitting out projects. Just make one that's good and spend the correct amount of time on it.
this is what losers that never finish projects always say
I need experience and to make it better next time everytime. Finishing a project is always a number one priority

>can code
>smart enough to figure any engine out
>want to make a game
but
>no ideas
>indie market is already oversaturated with shovelware
Wat do?

Make whatever comes to mind, even something simple can be great if executed properly.

Look for people posting ideas online and steal them

Brainstorming new ideas is a skill. Improves with practice. Just creative problem-solving. Go practice.

Sure thing, bud. Good luck anyhow.

50 million Indians can code and build engines. You're a drop in the ocean

Find an artfag idea guy and collab with them.

make a porn game and get patreon bucks

god I just want to make a 2d game so badly. I have so many ideas I want to do.

Just sit down and sink some time into it. You're just 2d scripting. Any idiot can do it.

Is it a porn manga? Link?

I'm working hard on it, please be excited!

Eat meat and no sugar. Do something outside every day. Even if it is raining. Just like 1 hour or something. Lost 5kg that way.
