Wanna make a vidya

Okay I'll give this a try. Starting from somewhere is better than not starting at all.

Is /agdg/ still a mess over there?

Friendly reminder that, like 2D girls vs. 3D girls, irl children don't act like their anime counterparts.

This. Write and/or draw your ideas first.

OP here. I appreciate the advice but I've already taken it, I have all my ideas down already. Can't draw though but, I'm slowly learning. I just want to learn to code but I have no idea how to teach myself how.

I want idol cunny

Give up

If only you had access to some sort of network where you could learn from other people that already know the skill you are after. Perhaps some sort of tutorial or maybe a video sharing website would work.

tfw watching logan and falling in love with the cunny again

just join a group and be the idea guy
EZ

I will but the urge to try again always comes back.

Just kinda wanna make text games desu

Has anyone ever actually learn to code from youtube videos.

>wanna look up Mami's skirt
>the camera is angle-restricted

what engine are you planning to use?
some have visual or block programming that allows people with zero experience to make stuff

Just learn nigga. Pick a language (I'd recommend python, c, or c#) and find a good book on it. Ask for recommendations, and then just go do it. Don't be afraid to fuck up, and don't worry about making your Magnum opus right now. Just make stuff and the skills will come.
Good luck. I'm pursuing the same journey as well.

>Been in the write/draw ideas phase for almost 2 years now
It's not as efficient as it seems. You eventually write up so much fucking shit that there's absolutely no chance in hell of even half of it being brought to life, and then you just keep putting off the hard part of making a game, as everyone does. I'd say it's better to put those ideas straight into an engine instead if you can. Just uselessly drafting for months and months won't get you anywhere.

naw but their cunny is tight

this honestly

It can also help if you learn a language that your engine of choice uses, like C++ for unreal

Is python or C better for development? I've heard that python is easier to learn but is it good for vidya.

stop posting your animes, thats a good start

>just wanna hug and take care of cunny
>don't wanna go to jail

Feels bad man

3D = PD no exceptions.

C++ is the game programming language for engines. Python is shit but you can probably find engines for every language. For just games you're good with c++.

Shitprogrammer here. Any shirtwriters or shitartists wanna team up to make a game? Porn or otherwise. You can bring your own ideas or we can come up with something, I don't care.

Says you incel.

I'm interested, but I don't do animeshit

>not making your own engine
I mean, if you want starting by already half-assing things and being lazy what's the point.

Depends. While C and it's direct derivatives are traditional for engine development, python is a great learning tool. It has a bunch of libraries and tools for game development available. But it depends on what your interest is.
Ask yourself this: Do you care about computer science and the "art" of engine dev? Or do you just want to make a game? If you're interested in comp sci then learn C, otherwise use python.
C doesn't hide a lot of technical stuff behind it's doors, while python does.
Honestly though, if you can't decide, flip a coin between the two. Mostly anywhere is a good starting point. Once you learn one language it's easy to pick another up really quickly, so don't stress it honestly.

This may sound ironic but it's not, I love when I get criticism without directly asking for it, thanks user. how to get good at gesture and dynamism?

Not always, some people legitimately dont even know how to start and let that embarrassment hold them down from asking, egos are a bane.

Draw stick figures and learn anatomy

Quickposes I think? I'm not going to pretend to be good at art but being able to quickly look at a pose and replicate the key points in a small amount of time will help. Using less straight lines will also help.

Yeah dummy. If you want to get better at something then start practicing. Talent will only get you so far.

Are you retarded? Yes "dude just get smart!" do you think those faggot kids at school got A's by not studying? Talentfags are so retarded they hold themselves back. How do you get good at an intrument if you don't practice said instrument dip shit.

Go to quickposes and practice getting the "flow" of the poses, dont focus on detail and just try to capture the essence of the pose for your gesture improvement

Sounds like you're just a sucker who ended up falling for a self-fulfilling prophecy. There are limits, but you damn well best know that a lot of that is self-imposed by mindset, which is malleable.

Your brain is a muscle. You can train it just like every other muscle in your body.

Try the Yea Forums draw thread. They'll shit on you but it's great practice.

It's a good mentality to have for self betterment, but please don't think it's realistic. The amount of effort needed to get A's varies greatly by person. The amount of time and energy they can afford to spend on getting A's varies by person and living situation. The world is not fair.

Draw? Find pics you enjoy, try to copy (not trace) them.
Find online art courses. Read a book. Or just plain put a slideshow of naked people and try to draw each one for 10 minutes. Personally I recommend going through Proko's fundamentals series.

Don't, developing games is the same as building a power plant, you'll get nowhere without years of experience with programming

Indulge yourself and make corrections as you go, who cares if it doesnt fit the setting if no onesl but you sees? You'll figure out what works/what you want.

Any tips on language? Starting point? I worked on Python and Java for a bit but I didn't see how either one would transition into what I wanted to make.

I'm fairly intelligent and my life is going great, but I don't think that is of my own doing. I got lucky.

>fairly intelligent

So why do you think not everyone makes it to the upper class? Did they just not watch enough motivational shounen anime about being able to do anything if you put your mind to it?

>no waifu
Get yourself one and draw her.

lack of effort. lack of motivation. being dumb and uneducated is a choice in the days of the internet. I said capability, not desire.

ROTE memorisation isn't all you need to be smart. How you use that information is also important and may be more about how your physical brain works than how you can mould it. I guarantee the people complaining about talent are nowhere near the point where this is important.

It's not that simple user, you can't just choose whatever. You only get one.

yes because "real" intelligence is some 4th dimension voodoo magic instead of pattern recognition and proper application of mechanics.

Stop watching anime, grab a fucking piece of paper and start writing down your ideas, you worthless, unproductive waste of space.

What about all the people at work who clearly put in more time and effort than I do, and are still worse programmers who make less money? They didn't watch 700+ anime like I did, they didn't spent their whole time at university playing obscure russian art games. Yet they are quantitatively worse at their job than me. Why?

Cant i just try to draw and explain everything and start a Kickstarter to get people or a company to program?

The world is physical user. In the same way you can't train your height to be taller you may not be able to change certain traits of your brain. Why are you excluding hard coded genetics from influencing the brain? Yes it has pl;plasticity but it isn't 100%.

start with the logo

Programming your own game is fun until you hit hurdles with even the most mundane things, like making a functional save/load system. That shit was brutal at first when I was learning. I had to scratch my entire project and start from zero when I realized that the way I was making my code wasn't efficient for compiling all the data I needed for a save file.

I can draw, have ideas, can do music but can't code for absolute shit. Life is like this sometimes.

that isn't how you should do it, starting from the start is bad practice.

Steal assets from all over the place and dick around in UE4 until you make a Frankenstein that you actually want to complete. Then start making your own assets.

Not being able to code is the best outcome nowadays. Before you needed to do it sometimes but now they have so many templates you can copy and paste your entire game together. If the art/music/story is good people will excuse that shit. Just look at all the indie side scrolling platformers "with a twist" that get by on story or art alone.

because you are obviously on some higher plane of existence and see yourself as the ubermencsh, no way it could've been from a more academic upbringing, better schooling or just simply thinking of things at a different angle. Could also be a lack of passion from your colleagues or perspective from you. Somewhere higher up there's some guy who thinks you're the brainlet who struggles at everything.
It's more of a psychological issue than anything. That's like saying developing depression in your teens means it stays with you your entire life. Yes, I agree that people may think differently but it's no excuse for a lack of intelligence.
Also keep in mind the affect that some drugs have on the brain. If repeated use of those things can so dangerously alter the brain, then "proper" stimuli can alter the brain as well. The naturally generated endorphin rush from solving problems may provide the same high as some hardcore drugs to some.

There's no wrong way to start as a beginner. You just do it, and see where you go from there.

Maybe because they didn't practice as much as they say they did? Maybe because you have other abilities they don't, like social skills? Maybe because they are shit at finding jobs? Maybe because they decided to have a job in the topic that is harder for them? Maybe because they are lazier than you and have less drive to better themselves? Who knows?
Talent is athing, as the other user said, but it's like top fighter players, when you have to master the inputs perfectly for other factors to start mattering first.

boredom is the soul of creativity

as a beginner especially you shouldn't start over. Having huge roadblocks that you have to overcome is good way to practice.

You clearly misunderstood the post, then. I said that I had to restart and create my code from scratch with a Save/Load system in mind, i.e streamline all the data so that it's easier to keep track of and compile into a file. It was far better to start over and make the thing more efficient than try to retool it at that point. It was the right call as it vastly improved my project.

If you have the ability to model a fictional society and world to that depth then programming should be easy peasy.
Here's a crash course on EVERYTHING most programming languages use
>ifs and elses
conditional stuff.
>for, while, do-while loops
do shit repeatedly until a certain condition is meant.
>functions
the part where you actually program stuff.
>variables
points in memory where data is stored. Think of it like the variables in math but can change depending on certain operations (functions). Can hold stuff like text data (strings), numbers (integers, floats/doubles (non-whole numbers)), single characters, even files. It's just a place to reference things memory.

There. That's most of what you need to understand programming in literally any language. The rest is mostly semantics within whatever language you start out with.

Attached: 1556907177673.jpg (900x2134, 438K)

Not that I have any experience, but I would say the best ideas to draw are level design ones. Even if you haven't gotten the actual gameplay programmed, if you've decided on the engine you can make visual assets and levels for your game. Then, much later, you'll have a lot on the cutting room floor to work with.

>paying him
This is why you fail

Nice engine you got there, fag.

There's literally no reason to make your own engine today unless you're making a game that is extremely specialized or you're looking to work with engines in the industry.

>because you are obviously on some higher plane of existence and see yourself as the ubermencsh
Just the opposite, and the reason is exactly as you stated. More academic upbringing, better schooling and a brain that happens to be good at thinking at a "different angle". Nothing to do with the effort I put in or my motivation.

>Somewhere higher up there's some guy who thinks you're the brainlet who struggles at everything.
I know a lot of people who are far smarter than I am. Don't worry about that.

You might notice that most of those maybes you post don't have anything to do with effort and motivation, and I agree they can all play a role. The only thing I'm arguing is that how your life turns out is to a very large degree up to chance. The amount of motivation and effort you can muster is also included.

Have you looked into godot? It looks pretty great from my inexperienced perspective.

>better schooling
There it is. You don't just ingest information like a sponge, you have to cooperate with it. You can't just sit in at the best school in the world and get smarter by simply showing up and not paying attention. Clearly there was some effort exerted to get to that point. Sure, you may use less effort, but it isn't like you just showed up and knew everything. You had to learn it. Everyone can get to the same point as you if they want to. You clearly did. No, not everyone is born equal, but everyone is equal in opportunity if they want to grasp it.

Wow I guess because I bothered to show up at my rich kids school simply because it's easier than having to deal with the punishment for not showing up, I am now equal to the kids that had to work to support their family and thus didn't have the time to do homework. Come on man, what are you even arguing? Following the path of least resistance that was laid out by my environment can hardly be called effort.
The issue here is that motivation and effort aren't some sort of magical lever in your brain that you can turn off and on again. You can't just choose to be motivated, it's something that, like every character trait, you develop from a combination of nature and nurture. Of course, I agree that telling someone to be motivated might be part of the nurture that causes them to be motivated, it's just that blaming someone for not being motivated enough if they had a shit childhood is really fucking toxic and unrealistic.

Attached: x.png (1078x601, 966K)

Some places have shitty contracts that say anything you make during employment belongs to them because they're giving you access to secret stuff that you may steal and make into a game first. Ideas are hard to protect so they just blanket everything you make in your free time.

Something something it would belong to the company instead of me.

Most of my maybes have to do with motivation, but it's true luck plays an important part in outlr life's, just not in the way you think. It's not nearly as much about genetics as you think, and a lot more to do with our environment. And intelligent kid that was born in a pot country that is currently at war have no real chance of becoming an important figure in game development, but a dumb kid with Rich parents that pay for special schooling, personal professors and tutors and give all the tools to him to become a game developer definitely have a better chance.

It still haves to do with motivation, but you can't do everything in life. I'm just comparing similar cases.

I wish I could write or draw that much. I have a decent set of logical skills, programming, lots of practical engine knowledge, good amount of networking but nothing about writing and very little drawing. I lose motivation instantly upon not being able to visualize exactly what I want on paper or on my screen.

I never said anything about the amount of nature vs nurture as I don't think I can know anything about it. I agree with you that it's largely environment, but I don't think you can choose your environment so I'd still call it luck/chance.

Doesn't mean they can't learn. Sure, it was easier for you, but everyone is capable of learning stuff, regardless of the amount of effort at play. Just because a guy with no legs can't play basketball as easy as everyone else doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to.
This shitty defeatist attitude is why so many faggots ITT whine about being an "ideas guy" with no skills. Blowing off your own skills because it was easy for you is like disregarding a baby's potential for intelligence simply because he learned to walk at 1.5 years instead of your 1 year.
Is it guaranteed to be easy? No! Is it a guarantee that one can learn what they want to learn given enough effort? Yes!
You are right about motivation, however. People can only learn if they want to learn. Why do you think so many people just casually claim "oh I'm so bad at math" and "my brain just doesn't do math LOL" when in reality they were the kids griping about never needing to know that stuff in school.

This, my coworker is making a shitty porn game and gets 1100$/month on patreon.
Now he only works part time and spends the rest of his week on the game.
Just pick some degenerate fetishes no one else has done and the people will come.

Looking at their current situation, going "wow this sucks" and wanting to improve it. Some people are fine with the life they have so they don't need to learn anything.
It can come from a myriad of other things, the competitive nature of males may lead to people getting smarter because they want to be better than anyone else. You clearly had motivation to learn because you had the threat from your school, some people may want to learn because their job is being replaced so they need to pivot to something else.

I wanna make a visual novel and i'm using ren'py so the scripting and stuff is easy to understand and I'm a pretty avid illustrator so I'm doing all the art myself and I dabble in writing so I've got that down pat too

I guess the biggest obstacle for me is... Figuring out what to do about music... I'm absolutely completely incompetent when it comes to music
I was thinking ahout bothering some artists on soundcloud because there's lots of lovely chiptune artists that hardly get any recognition but
i don't have the money to start oaying them either
and I don't wanna tell them to give me music for free either
god damn it

Use royalty free stuff. It doesn't have to be the Kevin Macleod stuff or anything.

You could try offering them a cut of the profits in exchange for the use of their already made songs.

loli cunny

>try making a game
>keep bumping into quirks of the compiler and language

would you play a worms clone with a xcom-style campaign?

>i really liked surviving mars so i'm gonna make an even worse copy of it.
Keep up the good work user.

Plenty have, many of my friends began coding through youtube tutorials

So you wanna learn how to code.

Good let's start.

Install Unreal Engine.

Write a game design document.

Why is your game fun, what mechanics.

STORY ISN'T A MECHANIC.

but what if it's an interactive story

If you're planning on being a one man dev team don't fucking do it you'll give yourself an aneurysm

start with what genre of game you want to make.

>but what if it's an interactive story
You've only describe a single mechanic there.

Interactive.

It's called visual novel, not a game

Learn to code first, retard

Even this isn't necessary, there are games out there that were made without writing a single line of code because of how simple some engines are getting.

It's obviously better to write your own engine, since you have complete control of everything, but if the goal is simply to just "make a video game" then using a pre-existing engine is fine.

Don’t. Coding is a boring drag. I’m pretty sure you have to be some sort of autist to even get good at it. Don’t think that your love for games means you should make them. Learn to code first. And find out if you even enjoy that shit.
