So how is your game going anons?

How many years did it take you so far?

Programmin is no problem but my drawings are still bad. I'll grind the shit out of drawing this year and maybe I'll be gud soon.

So what will you do with your engine?

Pushing the MSX quite hard on this one (but to be honest, i managed to optimize this thing more and now it mostly don't slowdown)

Attached: dslow.webm (320x240, 299K)

looks pretty good regardless

Yep. I didn't wanted to go full "blowing balls" because i have some weird intentions with this game.
And interestingly, its not the physics that slow it down, but the part where every bit is animated.
The sprite tile memory is quite "short" on the MSX 2, so i have to use the CPU to copy the frames from the main memory, and that's a bit slow.
I mostly eliminated the slowdown by making the parts only animate every 8 frames, with one taking each turn.

how do i improve my wipeout clone bros?

Post some webm first, kinda hard to tell you what's wrong with it otherwise.

sure here you go

There is still enough room for h-games even though there are so many out there. See:
patreon.com/user/overview?u=19439140
The game is new and it's pretty bad in terms of game design. The art isn't very good either but apparently enough for the thirsty supporters. Also Rpg Maker.
And yet it manages to get 1k in a short amount of time.

I ADMIT IT

I WAS THINKING IT WON'T BE SO BAD PLAYING EU4 AGAIN

AND BEFORE I KNOW IT IT'S ALREADY 1 MONTH

Is Armory 3D a good alternative to Godot if I want a single program for both 3D models and game mechanics?

>needs 250 patreons to commission a custom tileset

Right. There are redflags everywhere yet it still manages to reach 1k easily as long as you hit the right audience.

>everything paywalled

Don’t put all your motivation eggs in one sit down basket. Just watch some tut videos every day with one engine and play around with it next week. Don’t make your game, make something like a block moving. Just keep it up, and use communities like itch.io for resources and support. You’re not alone, and you can do it. It will take time, but every day you don’t start is just adding to that timer.

No, alot of people are really thirsty and retarded devs don't realize this is a goldmine.

I was working on a turn based game but it's hard to keep the story in order. Gonna work on a more basic story and focus on the gameplay and hopefully it'll work.

youtube.com/watch?v=zjQik7uwLIQ

Yes. It's fairly light, easy to use, is pretty great for 2D and fairly competent for visually simple 3D games, plus it's one of those projects that gets great updates pretty regularly.
Honestly its biggest problem right now is that it has no "big" popular game made with it. The Godot devs should take a cue from the Blender guys with their Open Movies project, and try to get a team to make a really impressive game, something to show what the engine is really capable of.

Steam for indie games, thy have a discord and the community is very open source. People make assets for free and share the love with free games. They openly help sew devs make shit. It’s great to help you start out given how supportive they are

Make a depressing game.

I am brand new to both game dev and coding and I've been learning and building small projects in game maker studio 2 for the last week or so. Before I am married to gms are there any legitimate reasons b I'd be better off working through Godot instead?

It's unlikely I'll ever go 3d, but I like the idea of having the option. I'll probably be mostly making 2d action/platformers (ninja gaiden, castlevania) and RPGs no more graphically intense than final fantasy 6.

With that being the absolute high end I ever plan to go for technically, is there any reason gms wouldn't be just as good as godot?

Art is the analysis of emotion with the execution of that analysis into a product. Analyzing a positive emotion generally leads to the end off that emotion, depression however leads to more depression. Write some shit down and use it.

It's going shit but I'm using the quake 1 engine and not godot. Because I don't know how to use godot or unity. I hate myself and I want to die.

Why does this dumb meme still make me chuckle? Only other thing is probably Toddposting.

godot is pretty easy to learn

Who gives a shit, I have never seen a successful game made in godot, and unity is such a bloated mess I don't even want to look at it. Let me make my goddamn quake maps in peace, you rapist.

how many successfull games got made with the quake engine? thats what i thought

How do I get started into using the quake engine? I've always wanted to give it a go but there doesn't seem to be much learning material geared towards using it as a game engine for a new game - most of it is just tutorials on modding or mapping for it which is useful but I want to know the shit that I can change about the engine.

>unity is such a bloated mess
Oh god, are you one of those autist who care about a game size not being under 100Mo in an era when even the poorest third-worlder can afford a 500Go SSD ?

Isn't Half-Life based on an heavily modified Quake engine ?

I'd suggest starting with quake maps, using hammer or quark, whichever you find more comfortable. You probably want a copy of quake or quake 2. Then start scripting small events like doors and triggers, and go from there.

>theres space there so i MUST fill it up

as much as I genuinely hate how everyone pounced on the model, patreon does serve as a useful tool. Anyone with a brain gets the games for free and people with to many fetishes and too much money fund the development.

it fucking sucks

Just like I filled up your mom.
Your disks are just lower on the list.

> Anyone with a brain gets the games for free
Provided one of those retarded money pits gives it to you

if the game is worth playing it'll get leaked.

It's called optimization, a concept that people nowadays have completely lost. I love Dusk, for example, it's fast and furious and is made in unity, so games like the ones I'd like to make are possible in it. I don't want to learn the engine and try to transfer all my assets and scripts to there.
You don't need to get sentimental about it, use whatever is more convenient for you, I'm talking about my specific case.

The fuck is Godot? I thought he was that guy from Ace Attorney

He is the guy that never shows up in his namesake play.

its a totally free game enigne that you dont need to pay any royalties too, only downside is that it cant make 3D games that go beyond arcade PS1 games, the 2D is quite good

That's very nice, user. What are you using to sequence your tracks?

To sequence? Sorry, my producer/music terminology is a bit non-existent. If you're asking what program i use, it's FL Studio 11, but only to basically use VSTs and soundfonts for midi stuff. Nothing special any other program doesn't use.

yeah, it would be perfect for that or any other low poly game you could think of

yes, they are going to add better 3D support in the future with the updates, and features that arent present in the current build

Godot can go quite far beyond "PS1" now.
It has a modern material based renderer and can support skinned animations and all that stuff.

What it lacks is shit like terrain generators.

Are doom-esque 2.5D games possible using godot, or would they have to go full 3D?

they are possible

I have so many ideas but it just seems so daunting. I have an idea for an art style but i cant draw for shit. Programming languages seem needlessly convoluted (to be fair, I've never programmed on an engine before but it loos much more arbitrary then programming in a CS class). Also i never have time to dedicate myself completely. I'm still trying but its hard

docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/tutorials/networking/high_level_multiplayer.html?highlight=multiplayer

I imagine that there's no much of a difference.

Is there an actual demand for gottagofast games or was Tribes Ascend just a meme gone by?
I was wondering if it makes sense to make one that would be singleplayer/co-op so I don't need servers.

there are plenty of engines that saves you time as a solo developer so you don't have to reinvent the wheel (coding basic map systems, editors, animation systems etc) like gamemaker studio or unity. you should try them out, they're still pretty good in terms of what you can do and how much freedom you're allowed

I have an idea for a 3D game that's essentially a clone of an obscure 90s shooter. It's comforting to know that available game engines take a load off the work but im still paralyzed by the amount of work and choices ahead of me. How do I even BEGIN such a project? How do I create the foundation for this?

Chose an engine/programming language you feel confortable with, preferably with lots of resources available to learn at your pace.
Disregard paid assets, they will never help you learn anything.
Be patient, and godspeed

That looks really barebones.

>How do I even BEGIN such a project?
get the basic game mechanics working with placeholder assets, if its an FPS with loads of different weapons and enemies, get the movement down first, then work on the inventory system and ammo, then work on the weapon functions,etc
you gotta do it bit by bit in a way that makes sense to you, many people just start out with blocks and solid color to represent things, you can always go back later and add in the asthetics/animations, but its much better to get the core of your game fully working before anything else
something like this
youtube.com/watch?v=0IJMXW0_dcU

Yeah I've been fucking around with some tutorials in little sandboxes I've constructed. I feel like I really could make some kind of game even if it takes me well over a year. What intimidates me is making a wrong move early in development that hamstrings my progress later.

Alright, I might do that. So I need to start with movement, camera, a basic common enemy, and handling levels/enviros.
In my head it seems like my game is going to take only a couple weeks to implement the above, but it'll take months for me to get the art done. Is that how it usually goes?

There are no wrong moves as long as you always learn, especially from your own mistakes. has sound advices

Yeah. Focus on the art last, the mechanics need to be perfected before you do any final assets for your game

yeah, you can get the core gameplay done pretty quick but art usually takes many revisions untill you are happy with it

once you get the core gameplay down you cant go wrong, just make sure you have everything you want to be able to do in the game at the begging

holy fuck that's a banger

Also a good thing to make something different and unique in term of game design is adding a completely different game concept to another one.
Something like F-Zero/Wipeout + DoDonPachi (Bullet Hell/Manic shooter) for example.
So you have a high speed racing game with bullet hell to dodge or shoot, you can even add a mechanic from another game like Ikaruga with the red/blue shield.

Huh, I'm impressed. Didn't know Godot's runtime was so small.

There is also the C++ modules you can create, if you need some a specific feature.

Poor performance, huge memory usage, limited scope of where it can be used without shit like electron.
Using something like C I can code on many more platform going back to the 80s even, and using something modern like C# still enables me to code across many more platforms over JS but with the benefits of memory safety, etc.
JS has it's place, but it's scope is limited. Seriously, learn something like C#, you can do more, get better performance, and IMO is even easier to write then JS.

Unity can do most things when it comes to basic game design, it just can't do them very well.
The problem is Unity has certain graphic limitations where it literally can't do certain things because the engine will just die. If you wanna just learn, Unity can cover the bases, but if you want a solid, polished and maybe even sellable title, pick something like Unreal already and just dive head on.

sounds good, the bassline/progression stays the same through the entire thing though. try to have some kind of mid-segment with a different bassline. it's hard and i struggle with this too

I've been using unity, and you're right it has a lot of conveniences already implements in the engine like animation trees, which let me specify all the parameters I need rather easily. However the coding is still quite a hurdle, because while i understand coding logic, engine coding still has quite a learning curve.
For example:
player = gameObject.transform.parent.gameObject;
Even though I know how to program, I would have had no clue that that is how you refer to the player. Its just a lot of learning the specifics which is a pain in the ass

Joke aside, modelling characters is a shitton of work. Not sure what miracle answer you can expect outside of "go watch a 6hours tutorial on Youtube so you can do a decent potato".

look at how other games modeled characters and then get a reference image of a humanoid in t-pose and have a go at it

It's alright. If you know c++ you should be familiar with basics of coding. Godot uses either C# or python as script language. There are some things that you need to learn but it shouldnt take long.

Tempo seems real slow for it also the samples you're using sound like a dying clarinet the snare is real weak also. Tweak it a little and try some different samples and you're onto something.

What program did you use for this?! And is there a demo we can use for to learn?

Godot

holy shit

isnt this the game stealth was working on?

Actually the problem is not the guy who has the good ideas, but the fact that 99% of the "good ideas" when implemented in a game actually turn out to be a shitty feature.

You'd be surprised how many people got their start this way.

Nah. I made an app game on godot and trust me I've been preferring GMS 2 way more.

I like Godot way more than GMS, get at me

Michael Jackson would call his producer in the middle of the night and hum and beatbox to him over the phone some new beats he dreamed of. His car also caught on fire because he was too busy trying to get the melody for Billy Jean just right before he noticed his engine was overheating.

Idea guys should be doing the same thing honestly. Seriously they get a bad rap but what I hate the most about them is that they have no teeth for the process. Let a IG actually get wet and be involved and show him what this shit takes. If he actually has any passion he'll pick something up besides idea fagging, even if its organization skills, using Trello, contacting people, setting a website, etc. Coming up with ideas is easy, acting on them is hard. Even if you're just chilling with your bro spitballing a concept, thats work. Its a start at any rate.

i can't decide between c# and c++
i already know some c# but i heard c++ is better for games

>still shilling Godot

Use Unity you fucks.
If anyone here actually uses Godot then post whatever game you are making on it.

you cant shill something thats FREE :^)

>i already know some c# but i heard c++ is better for games
you've been memed on. its """better""" because its more archaic and gives you more control at the system level but its a fucking hassle promoted by boomers who think everyone should have it as hard as they did. Unless you're doing sysops, don't use C++.

Please tell me you god those assets from somewhere and that you can post me the link. I will love you forever!

well ok
does godot use c# or is unity currently the only big engine with c# support?

docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/getting_started/scripting/c_sharp/

Godot has a python type custom language, but it does support C#. I've been using the GScript just to learn it though. Coding in python is fun. Its not efficient, but its a video game so who gives a shit. Having a single texture already fucks any kind hope you had at having a "light" product.

learn the basics cuck. If you actually care about music, the basics will give you greater freedom to flesh out your ideas.

If you know how to make an inventory then you should have the ability to instance TYPES of inventory. Start the player with an inventory that has starting gear.

unity for zoomers

Things are actually going pretty good. Launched on Steam, Xbox One Dev Kits are on the way. Filling out paperwork for the PS4 and Switch dev kits now.

>not just installing Unity and using youtube videos to learn the basics in like 3 days

I learned it and I'm not using it anymore cuz drawing assets for 2D games takes too long.

Renpy and RPG maker are stupid easy to learn. Tyrano builder costs money but its even easier to learn than other stuff

I wanna start an Unreal Game. I got the course on getting into it on Udemy for 10 bucks. I wanna make a giant monster fighting game a la Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee and Godzilla Save the Earth.

It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid.

Do it. I know you can.

I hope so. The big problem I foresee is animations, since fighting games obviously need a lot of them. I mean, there's like 15 animations on the face button attacks to begin with. Is there an easy way to commission animations for models online?

Models yeah. Animations are notoriously the most hard to acquire asset in gaming. It requires a lot of technical knowledge and experience. You can't just dive in, or simply buy some from a person and drop em into the game. My advice? Do all the mechancis that you can withotu worrying about the visuals at all. The visuals should mold to the movement. I know that sucks to hear but this is game dev. You have to go years without "seeing" your game. But trust me, its worth it. When you go from beta assets to some more finished stuff, AND your game is working as intended, its a feeling that cannot be described.

>Animations are notoriously the most hard to acquire asset in gaming. You can't just simply buy some from a person and drop em into the game
depending on the engine you can totally do that

And by Twine, I mean SugarCube because base twine sucks and you can't do fun shit with it.

I find it surprising that no one talks about Unity in these threads.
Its easy to learn, got a lot of built in useful stuff like physics, and you can make pretty much any game genre with it.
Feels like it should be the engine to end all others and I'm not sure why it isnt.

nobody wants to pay that upfront license fee.

I really like it but theres not much to say. Its ubiquitous.
What fee? You can start devving right the fuck now and even release. You don't have to pay a cent until your earn more than like 2grand a year or some shit.

No one here is making over 100k a year

no you don't. Unity cost $1500 to release your game or $75 per month. UE4 is the one that starts charging royalty when your game generates profit.

For you I'd say Godot or Unity
Unity if you want to learn something relevant and be able to expand more heavily into 3d in the future, the downside being the subscription fee and potential ToS changes in the future
Godot if you think you'll be sticking to mostly 2d and you don't mind that the programming you learn there is mostly non-transferable, also it's totally free and you 100% own everything you make

Working on porn game here. Yes. Ad revenue, patreon money, and just selling the game itself. Porn community is pretty chill. THey understand you need cash to do more and theres plenty of whales out there. Also, artists tend to have lots of money to pay programmers since they get buku bucks from commissions.

The trick is to make a porn game patreon and milk it as long as possible.

Asking where you should start is a very common question. Let me tell you, it literally doesn't matter. All that matters is that you PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

First of all you are clearly doing it the wrong way.
Heres how I did it: bought myself a drawing tablet, pirated some drawing softwares till I found the best one for me(CSP and Photoshop), got used to just daily drawing horrible anime girls as practice, meanwhile I would put youtube tutorial videos to help me learn the basics, downloaded and studied a lot of arts from artists that I liked, then eventually got good enough that people started praising me for my work and paying for it.
Replacing your mouse for your pen and tablet to do unrelated stuff on your PC also helps.
Honestly I could go on and on about this but I'm not a genius and I believe with enough willpower anyone can git gud at drawing.

Thats fine. In that case its fine to get better drawing on a paper, but I recommend going digital at some point. Lots of good things you can only do when using software for digital drawing.

I'd recommend going digital ASAP. It has a learning curve too and let's be honest, if you're doing games, you want to spend all your skill points in digital techniques.

It's going okay. Working on the levels and the bosses is a pain though. I wanna try to implement a online multiplayer mode, but I have no experience with that kind of stuff, and the tests I've done all were complete shit.

i just wanted to make a game man.
then i found out all the engines are shit.

Nigga the finishing part should be obvious.
The whole thing about Patreon scams is that they never finish the games exactly so people will keep throwing money in the hope that the progress gets better, which it never does.
My intention is to make a game, update it till I complete it, then I start a new one.
Or work at more than one at the same time if I can manage. The point is, I have full intention to finish the games I start and jump to the next one.
Unless I get supporters telling me to create more content to a game that I planned on wrapping up. Thats a possibility I guess.

How do they justify all the additional work?

...user theres hardly even any math on that page

Coding is easy. Math is easy too. You gotta believe it.

I don't know what the fuck any of that is. I really hate coursework for programming. They teach you all this stupid shit instead of best habits. It literally doesn't matter what language you use if you dont understand the concepts behind OOP and SOLID. It turns people off and its like, unless you're doing sysops none of that shit fucking matters. Its so retarded.

None of that matters 99% of the time. Just know that if you want signs you lose size.

>don't even know what I want, so I have to try doing it myself so I can even begin to describe what I want

The rest of you have it easy, at least you have a vision

yeah sorry, if you can't memorize all of that you'll never be a programmer

Yeah I agree actually.
Personally I hated drawing on paper.
The only reason I ever got into drawing at all is because digital drawing turned out to be a million times more entertaining to me.
Especially considering I had some experience with Photoshop already so I could add some cool effects to my art and stuff.

Topkek m8. You don't need to know or use every single data type or know every single math function.

The best thing you can learn is basic OOP logic, then worry about looking up cheat sheets and guides for functions, best-use cases for data types/logic, etc. You're overloading yourself with information and it's causing you to freak out.

It's an investment, use it as motivation. If you're not gonna get a tablet don't bother learning drawing, get someone else to do it.

I've done art for commerical games using only the mouse

We need more porn games, keep it going

do not learn OOP
you can learn it later if you feel like it, but you will learn a thousand times faster and better if you ignore all the conceptual bloat and abstraction it's brought, besides it isn't even very good for making games.

Programming is by far the easiest part of making games. You can pick up the general gist of programming knowledge needed in something like Unity within a month

Art on the other hand is a fucking nightmare. As someone with no artistic talent, actually making a game seems completely insurmountable. And unlike programming, drawing alone takes fucking years to be any decent at it, and that's not even touching on music

Programming takes years to be decent at, you just don't realize how bad you are because you haven't made anything yet

out of Chrono Trigger's discount cousin

I'm making a visual novel and it's frustrating me how long it's taking me to revise the script. For every week of writing I have to spend 2 weeks revising.

It's much easier to make a good game with unoptimized programming than it is to make one with shitty art and music. Well, depending on the genre anyway. As long as a game runs the player isn't affected by your mediocre programming skills where as ahit visuals are in their face the whole time

For my very first attempt at music I'll take that as a compliment

it's scientifically impossible to be worse than yandev and he's making his game fine
if he reigned in his autism and feature creep he'd have a perfectly playable game three years ago and nobody would be the wiser about it being one giant function with variables named vector5 and integer36 and that has ifs nested 400 levels deep

I was trying to make a harvest moon clone.
I downloaded gamemaker studio free version and was following a tutorial on jewtube.
I dropped it after I got my main character to walk and run.
Is Godot good for that kind of thing? Should I learn C++ first

You don't need to be good at programming to maek gaem though
A poorly programmed game can still be good and fun, especially on the common indie dev level where your average target hardware is 100x what your minimum requirements will be. Obviously it's still possible to fuck up too hard, but it's not uncommon for a person's first real game project to be perfectly playable and working after a month or two of following tutorials and copying code from the internet. Basically, you can just bullshit your way through and brute force solutions until it works and then you're done.
With art, there's no real cheating or shortcuts. If you want your game to have good art, you need to be/have a good artist. There's no way around it.

You don't need to be good at art to make a game either
There's plenty of cheats and shortcuts
Look at Rimworld for example

>variables named vector5 and integer36
the variables aren't actually called that, their names are stripped because it's decompiled
many programmers are as mediocre as he is, you just don't see it because you can't see their code

>trust me bro
k

Several C# games have been decompiled, the local variables are all called num1 or numarray2 or whatever
Terraria aswell for example

>look up a Godot tutorial
>get through part 2 and already twitchy and tired
And the cycle continues.

That's because variable names aren't included when the code gets compiled. The decompiler is what generates those names.

yeah that's my point

Google "Scientific Notation" and stop panicking

>unless you're doing sysops none of that shit fucking matters.
Found the programmer that lets stats roll over past max to mix. Or -1 gold becoming max unsigned int gold.

>want to make a board game

I mean I can prototype it myself, but having it digitally prototyped for people to playtest worldwide would be better.

This looks amazing, keep up the good work!

I feel you. Changing all of the cards in Photoshop and putting it in to TTS Deck Editor's annoying. Good luck with it and the video game adaptation

Nobody fucking memories the exact max value of any of these, and nobody will test you on it unless you're going to some pajjeet 3rd world school where all they do for course work is copy books verbatim.
But even then, if this shitty ass table is daunting to you, what are you doing trying to learn any technical subject at all?

how do I make game

This is true as long as your project is relatively simple. I once made a game with procedual generation, upgrading, action segments, inventory, trading all managed through a clusterfuck of functions that juggled values in a bunch of arrays. It worked most of the time, but I really should have gone the OOP route.
