Looks like shit, you should stop while you're ahead. Acutally just off yourself, this will save you a lot of trouble.

Might not work too well. They are indeed cheap but me and the other dev live in countries where mostly everyone speaks English with a heavy accent.

This is me. I went to school for computer science and mathematics but fuck me do I hate working on code.

I took a programming course and did learn a lot, teachers were great and were helpful but I just couldn't enjoy doing it constantly. Once I was done, I just stopped programming because I didn't enjoy it. At least it's a income share agreement so I only have to pay them if I get a job in a tech related field which I doubt now, it's been like 3 months since I last touched code and I lost interest.

First off, voice acting in a small scale indie game is a bad idea. It'll sound like shit and no one will care if it's absent. Not to suck toby fox's dick too hard but the way undertale uses little cut up voice samples as characters talk is a good way of getting the idea of their voice into people's heads without the standard indie dev thing of "coder's sister disinterestedly reading their lines through a 12 dollar mic".

I can get games as a optional project to do because they're actually fairly challenging to make and is a good test of your skill.

Every time I come up with an idea something in the back of my head says “that’s already been done before” or “that won’t be fun”
I don’t want to just ape other things or sell out and make some shit mobile game but I’ve been creatively bankrupt and it’s driving me off the edge. Every time I want to start working on something that voice just tells me “no one will want to play it, why bother?” The self-doubt is crippling.
I also suck ass at spritework and making music so I can’t even bide time doing that and it just exacerbates the problem because it just brings back in the cycle of “why bother”.
I don’t have any like friends or really who are interested in mentoring me or know of any places where I can chat with other people who could help. r/gamemaker is the blind leading the blind and good YouTube tutorials are either old as shit and invalid, made by a 10 year old, just stops halfway through, or gets paywalled on patreon.

B-but GUI is the best part? The clean separation of presentation and business logic just fills you with satisfaction. I cannot even create a button without the whole MVVM(C) just for the joy of it.

Unity I guess, you'll use C# for both anyway

Nah, art is definitely harder than coding
The amount of time you need to become a good programmer is much shorter than the time you need to become a good artist

>imagine if your brain wasn't so broken by television and video games that you can't consider something a hobby or r&r if it's productive

That noise fucks up the bitrate

Becoming a good enough artist is easier than becoming a good enough coder, but I'll grant you becoming a great artist is probably harder.

thinking about putting any more effort than writing into my idea makes my chest feel really constricted. more than usual when just trying to write things out. i dont believe i was meant for anything remotely creative

For me it's easier than having to sit all day looking for the fucking comma I missed

I'd rather sit and animate 1,000 keyframes than even touch one line of code

Coding is fucking chaos filled with conflicting bullshit

Attached: at risk.png (923x655, 87K)

Guy who’s learned 3D modeling 2D art rigging and texturing over the last 4 years here. Rigging was the most confusing but took the least amount of time to learn. Art was frustrating at first but now it’s an incredibly slow but easy learning process. It’s very strange. You just don’t “get” something you really do have to continue to do 1000 drills until it’s apart of you.

This is why
A) you treat the project as a hobby
B) do as much of the work yourself as possible
C) do commisions instead of straight up hiring people; you're some random normalfag, not some AAA company with years of product and money it can live off when times get tough
And the in the case that you can't do B), then maybe consider limiting your project to something more text based, or just finding something better to do. Or if you're really obsessed about the thing then just find some random game company to invest in instead.

>Coding is fucking chaos filled with conflicting bullshit
it's the exact opposite. unless you're doing some heavy design architecture , coding is logical and precise. it follows rules.
art is difficult because it requires creativity, and it is much more difficult to be creative than to follow a set of instructions

I'm trying to get started on that, just not to fall into the perpetual worldbuilding trap. Once I've sorted out places of nations, a general gestalt on the religions, I am going to go ahead and get started and do the actual writing. Getting into the weeds of pedantic shit may be entertaining for one worldbuilding for worldbuilding's sake but it will suffocate your time in actually writing.

Problem is I've been reading more nonfiction than fiction so my brain is rich and fertile for scene-setting but I'm going to need to bigthink.png when I want to tell the story.

You might have too much freedom and that paralyzes you. You are trying to be rational and choose the best path. Try imposing yourself some bullshit rules to force your hand into bad outcomes. Like never erase anything, even typos. The more bullshit the rule is, the lower your mental bar gets. You cannot win, but you can still play.

>There's no point making 3d walking animation models if you're a solo man team
You can literally get animations online for free. As long as your model is human-like/bipedal they will work flawlessly with just minor adjustments. There's also stuff that makes rigging and animation making faster and easier.

what game

What kind of game are you trying to make?

You can easily prototype 2D games in C# using GDI+ just to get the hang of stuff like game loops, accepting input, multi-threading, etc...

Then you can use something with hardware acceleration to make the final product

Speaking of the nintendo switch, there is a gamedev software for it that just came out. It's in japanese but it looks pretty cool.

That NVidia API is a lot better than DirectX for that hardware. Compare for example the memory model and admire the nv.

>scratch

get game maker or something and start working at that, tons of fucking documentation.

Making a fighting game. Got the roster sorted out. It's gonna have 8 characters rn and they're in the planning (I.e designs, moves etc.) We need to think of better names for them so we need help with that

You didn't actually send them the entire novel, right user? Just a query letter. The issue comes from writing an enticing query letter and selling yourself from the first sentence. It's like applying for a job, except worse because you're competing with millions instead of several hundred. Can you sell your book in a sentence? If not, you're gonna have a rough time.

like what names? just generic ones? do any of them have gimmicks that you want to name them based off of?

It’s fine. I don’t care if I release or not. I don’t even like or play video games.

I do it because it helps me be creative and use my imagination. It seems to be really healthy and helps my brain improve. Gives purpose to things I learn which makes me want to learn more.

Math, English, History, Art, etc. all apply. Some good stuff. Then again making video games is not the same as playing them where you’re just a gamer but for games.

You need to write a new renderer, but that should be pretty straightforward. Not a small task, but straightforward. You have only one target HW, and when it works, it works.

OpenGL doesn't have bad performance until you try to submit very large amount of drawcalls. But the API(s) sucks ass.

Yes, Vulkan is pain in the ass since it was constructed by combining all graphics hardware features on the market and putting them behind optional flags. Avoid if possible.

Yes yes I'm well aware that most popular porn "games" are lazy cash grabs reusing the same 3d assets (or rarely extremely poorly made 2d art) in comic book format (click to advance panel and text with zero game). If someone wants to actually put in effort to make a real game with porn then let them. Anyone doing it for the money either gets to get very lucky now or do furry porn so it doesn't if it's another lazy rehash that's been done 500 times or an actual attempt.

We have a character with the code name "Asteroid" who's like your typically biker character with an orange Mohawk who has explosive and fire based powers

Except I'm trying to make it for PC, Xbox and Switch (no PS4 cause the devkits are crazy expensive and I'm just making this for fun and maybe earn a few bucks on the side).

I might just work on making the assets until I'm not so mad about the code

Yeah. Class was kinda an after-thought. It was taught by one of the business teachers who didn't really want to do it. He had me and a buddy teach most of the lessons because we actually knew what we were doing.

I want to see this same post after you did a dev time for a full year with no other income coming in

Is gamer really censored, or am I now forced to use cummybrain?

I'm just wondering, do you think a game that has two different broad play-styles would be too jarring to actually play?

Why would I dev full time if I'm not getting income? Everyone one of those scammers you fellate started off working part time and as they milked you more and more moved over to "full time" (working maybe an hour a week) development

One day you'll finish that 3rd person handhold tutorial for unreal.

Great attitude for making games these days, i'm making mine with the same mindset. I just want to make a game that satisfies my obsessive desire for great balance and customization, if other people play it that will be cool. Plan on wandering around some online forums giving it out for free to anyone who will give feedback once It's ready to be beta tested.

Personally I'm not a fan of the meta irony stuff as a premise.

Unless you're going for a comedy, no.

People are going to assume a game released for free is low quality. You'd unironically be better of selling it on Steam or something.

I'm sure he already closed the thread and pretended it never happened.

You could try learning VB.NET
It compiles to the same thing as C# but without the tricky syntax

There are even websites that can convert code between VB.NET and C#

That's why there was the layoffs. Too much money spent on ink cartridges.

He didn't even do that, he would've figured out the joke otherwise.

Damn I dont give a fuck about all this arguing I just want to know if I should go for Unity or Game Maker for my hentai games.

What kind of a programmer are you?

follow your heart

But, if you had a patreon for it, you could still take it at your own pace, if not slower... isn't that how patreon works? Produce the absolute bare minimum so people keep giving you free money?

if you're doing 3D at all do Unity, otherwise Game Maker is an easier starting point IMO

2d? Godot

Start with the gameplay, my boy. Setting, story, and characters will come later.

is RPG maker really the shittiest software to make games? I was planning on using it

too lazy to bother making one

Pretty good, I'm learning to do art so I can draw girls for my pixelshit rpg game, and I'm really enjoying it.
After a few days I'm making low resolution wifes I'm happy with.
Its maybe not good enough yet to convince anybody to try my game but it's getting better the more time I spend on it.
This is just the best project I've ever had, I really love it, it's like 5 rewarding hobbies in one and at the end I get to show people.

RPG Maker is fine. The issue is that it's so easy to use that there's a metric fuckton of no-effort shit made in it, which skews public perception of games made using it.
On the other hand, the same people that bitch about "RPG Maker games" also don't know how to tell what games are made in RPG Maker; you'll frequently find people bitching about them in threads here, only to have it pointed out that the game was actually made in Game Maker or something instead.
Just don't use the default assets and you'll be fine.

RPGMaker MV is kino tier and if you can use javascript you can do a shit ton of stuff.
It has a pretty great interface too, very quick for prototyping. The engine just gets a bad rep because its the chuuni idiots weapon of choice, and because it doesn't stand in your way if you want to use it for low effort garbage, many people do that and then the engine gets blamed.
On any other engine people would call out the asset flip dev but with this one, the engine and surrounding community catch it in the ass.
Its fun, I've got 2000+ hours and recommend getting on it next time it's on sale for under 30 bucks,which is about 8 times a year

thanks bros, I think I'll keep on using it then
I'm making literally everything from scratch, from music, to graphics, sound effects and even menus

If you're going to make a basic turn based RPG then it's alright.
It's biggest problem is it's graphical assets and it's limitations.
Unless you want to have 3D rendering, action combat or fluid movement in the overworld(running offgrid, jumping and stuff), it's just fine. If you want any of that you might as well use another tool.

Man after my own heart, doing the same, I love it.
Got a dev blog? I'll follow progress of anybody here, don't even have to follow me back or nothing

nah, maybe next thread. I have stuff to do now.

If it's not published, you still can't say that. That's like calling myself esquire because I watch judge judy.

Not him, but post yours and I'll follow it. I think following other people doing similar work shames you into doing more.

RPG maker is only really useful if you want to make turn based JRPG's, and turn based JRPG's made in RPG maker have next to no demand and insanely high supply.

It'd be pretty funny if this actually was real and the user simply didn't believe it.

I'm back where I've always been, nowhere.
It's that time of the year again when I dig up some of my old ideas and realize that I've never learned how to code or make art, and barely did shit in terms of music.
But hey, if you want a fresh idea that you won't pull off because it's too bothersome to realize, here's one.
Rhytm-based beat-em up with Jet Set Radio aesthetics.
I'd make a design doc for that one, since I've pretty much had most stuff planned out, but I'll just shelf it anyway like all the previous ones.

Not being published doesn't nullify the fact that someone wrote a book. It's a good idea to preface that statement with "I wrote an unpublished book" but still.

Sure
okochox.blogspot.com
It IS a lewd game, but I post progress.

it's obviously made for JRPGs and that it gives you all you need outta the box to start making specifically a turn based JRPG, but it's nodeJS and chrome under the hood, so if you want, you can disregard whole swathes of the inbuilt systems and just never use them. You can program your own or use community plugins that ape popular games to make hybrid systems, it's really neat.
I don't use any of the inbuilt battle, inventory, menu, none of that, maybe I'd feel differently if I did but I think it's a great little engine that more people ought to give a chance.

>action combat
Will take some effort, but is doable depending on how complex you want it. There are a few plugins that do Zelda-like combat already, and some guy even made a Touhou action-platformer back in RPG Maker VX, so it's definitely doable in MV.
>fluid movement in the overworld(running offgrid, jumping and stuff)
There are a ton of free-use plugins for pixel-based movement out there, and jumping can be done in Events already, though you'll probably want to code something more precise if you're also using pixel movement.

And I'm an unbarred lawyer.

I use Jordan Peterson's AI voice as placeholder.

>removed

>graphical assets
I remain convinced that nobody is actually intended to release a game with the inbuilt assets, they just package in some battlers, sprites, music and sound so that you have zero excuses not to get going on your game.
Think about it, you can't be blocked in any area if they give you these prefabs to get you started.
There's really no excuse for releasing with stock assets, but guys always try to find one. The popular one is:
"Yeah, but my world has X and Y, so I think it can still be popular even with the default assets"
And if they really believe that, I guess at a certain point you just need to let them go at it.

Being a lawyer actually takes some licenses to exercise it. Being a writer/musician/painter/dev/etc doesn't. Obviously if you're going to mention that you do some of these things, it's good to point out that it's not on a professional, aka someone actually paying you for your creation, level, but it doesn't nullify the fact that you did in fact write a book/wrote a song/made a game, yada yada yada.

Attached: Gx0jHfn.png (740x509, 114K)

The stuff is possible, but you'll need to go trough such weird ass loops and unecessarily complicated shit to get mediocre results.
You might as well use another tool at that point.

And I practice law for myself. Just like you write for yourself.

You can call yourself a lawyer but have nothing to back it up, he calls himself a writer and has a book to show for it.

If you learn all about the law for your own uses, you still did that whether you have a piece of paper proving it, or not.
The guy can write a book and say confidently that he wrote a book. He can't, however, say that he wrote a bestseller, just like you can't say that you are practicing law.

You can actually practice law without being a lawyer in some countries. We have in England "Mckenzie Friends" who are not legally qualified assistants who can help people who are representing themselves in court.

Are you being obtuse on purpose?

Sounds like youre a big fat fucking liar

I've provided several hours of legal counsel explaining terms of service and user agreements to myself and niggers on 4chin. Nice book homo.

Well in that case that would be the equivalent of an unpublished writer/indie dev on Yea Forums

Releasing commercial RPGMaker made games is an aftertought. It's supposed to be a hobby tool but it lets you sell your finished products.
Those assets are for people that don't want into art and still make their little adventures a reality.
Commercial games using those assets just means the dev couldn't make art or didn't think it would be worth drawing new tiles just for the overworld, etc.
There's even DLC for more stock assets.

I remain convinced.
Nah, I totally get what you're saying. It's just the out-loud reasoning and cope you encounter within the community, people with aspergers who really want it to be accepted for them to use inbuilt stuff, so they reason it in circles at great length until everybody else gives up and they continue believing what they were gonna, anyway, which is
>people WILL play my 7 dragon crystals adventure about angels vs demons called "Song of Alia Sorrows: Chapter 1: Melody's Blood Oath and Reckoning" and the story will be so revolutionary that it's okay for me to use the same hero character as 90% of other games!
The ones that really get me are the lewd games where they don't bother with new sprites, they just commission artists to draw what amounts to lewds of the default RPGMaker character sprites.

Crazy shit.

>114 pages in

What are you doing user?

How proper is it to cold-call a dev and say "I like your demo and if you want music I would team up"?
If the dev is still early on of course.

>I WORKED X HOURS INSTEAD OF PLAYING VIDYAGAYMES
>BOOMERS OWE ME MY MILLION NOW

It'd be pretty wired especially since they wouldn't even know what your stuff is like

I used to do this all the time, 10 years ago. If they're looking for somebody and you have a portfolio, go for it, worst case you'll have a bunch of emails from developers who went on to get bigger.
If you really want to work on a particular game, come pre-cocked with music you whipped up for their demo, played over footage of it or whatever.

Likely just a first draft.

best of luck bro, don't give up. I don't have a blog yet, I think I'll start a journal once I finish all the character sprites, but yeah, I'm loving the process

Even if you just snag a placeholder blogger page before this 404s, I'll happily follow your progress, even webring if our games are similar and you're into that whole gay as fuck web 1.0 thing.
If it's not to be, that's cool- best of luck to you, too!

Not too bad, although they might already have a musician. Make sure you have a portfolio for them to check out, like a soundcloud page. If nothing else, they might keep your contact for any future projects or maybe to help out if their project grows.

So I am at level 7 now.
I want to figure out how to make better boss ai since I want to have 5 bosses in total.
How does this sound?
>first boss is just a kid
>second is a faster clone with lunges and a sword
>third is a biker with a shotgun with a sniper support
>fourth is the sniper but he uses the background elements as support.
>fifth is a priest that uses magic attacks only
>the final boss uses elements from every boss before hand and can only be defeated when he asks the player to give up.

Yeah, I worked on a few projects already that have some press buzz so I'm not a total unknown (wouldn't dream of cold-calling without a 'portfolio' myself). I'm just tired of waiting around for someone to say "I need music!" and fight the other 500 people rushing in.

I think making a few demo tracks over their demo is what I was going to do. Thanks for the perspective.

Not necessarily but myself and lots of other people automatically ignore anything made with it.

Its not a bad program but its totally understandable that people avoid stuff made with it because people can, and do, easily use it to make low effort dogshit.

Not being some random guy online is usually one of the roughest parts to overcome. After that you can pretty much contact whoever you want. It can sound desperate but that's just part of the game. The demo track over their demo is a great way. Good luck.

Pardon?

>It's supposed to be a hobby tool
RPGmaker devs treat it like one, sadly. And that's still better than they treat Pixel Game Maker MV, which released in Early Access without machine-translated tutorials. Did you see the "contest" Kadokawa is holding for it? "The winner will be published on the Switch!" ... Except the contest states that all royalties go to Kadolawa, LMAO.

right now? keep the paint art. later sexy version of all the monsters

How do you even achieve some modicum of popularity?
Developing is one thing, but actually making your game known seems like a completely different beast.
Especially considering the amount of garbage found on Steam that has soured people's perception of the indie scene.

There's tons of great, charming indie games that I have never seen being discussed here or anywhere else aside from the rare namedrop in hidden gem threads, almost as if they were destined to forever perish in total obscurity.

Attached: 1527641379547.jpg (1062x1062, 180K)

I also wonder this but since I'll never finish a game I don't think too hard on it.

Luck can be a big part. Getting the right person in the right place to notice you which snowballs the whole thing. But more often than not, good games, even janky but charming games, manage to break through the masses. It just needs the right hook. Risk of Rain for example, as far as I know, had zero marketing. Hobbo started out in /adgc/ threads, had the right hook, now he's in the big leagues.

Thankfully my game will have furshit so I aim to ride the honry autist wave by posting some updates on furry sites
