Thread 717090949

Hello folks, in this thread we're discussing game development. Whether you're with a large group or you're by yourself, post progress, ask for help or lurk.

>>717090949 (OP)
Oh yeah? Make me bitch

>>717090949 (OP)
Turns out making the framework was the easy part
Now I gotta like... fill it with stuff

>>717091063
yeh. while trying to not make it too difficult to play

im making a h-game battle-fuck. What would do better? female MC or male MC (bottom)?

>>717090949 (OP)
Is anyone working with plot-, key-, story- or emotional beats?

I like prototyping the basic systems of a game but I get skittish when I have to commit to anything concrete like choosing a theme, characters, etc.

How do you guys handle play testing? I feel like the hardest part of making a game is trying to balance after playing 1000s of hours yourself.

For my last game, I used early access and got a handful of really helpful people that saw my vision. But it's tough to keep public interest if people don't like your project at 90% completion.

Is it better now to make a full game (minus some features) and release a steam demo? Seems like it would get swept away on the crowd during a Next fest or something.

i made my player ragdoll when falling or get run over by a car

>>717092827
Based. Nothing sells a game like hilarious unintended ragdoll physics. Just don’t fix the bugs, make them features. That’s indie dev alchemy right there. Got cars launching people into orbit yet or still tweaking the launch angle?

>>717093915
nah they launch pretty normally now, it's just networked properly

fuck unwrapping

>>717094767
I'm never ever going to make my levels in Blender, shit looks painful. Trenchbroom and brushes for the win babe.

>>717094898
Fuck yeah trenchbroom

>>717094898
>>717094767
Modelling is a pain and there's a thousand things that can go wrong (a billion if you're using blender) so I don't blame people who buy game models.

Back on this thing after months of no motivation. Working keyboard controls for everything! I'm not using my mouse at any point here.

>>717091264
why do you want to make a getting raped simulator, make a normal rape one

>>717095318
based accessibilty chad

I am still playing around with Godot. Now the shape morphing happens on a toggle, and switching mid animation reverses it.

>>717095493
Thanks. It always bugs me how OS games almost never have good keyboard controls so I'm hoping to make a difference.

>>717091430
Guess not.

>>717092827
video

>>717095985
That's pretty funny. I think it's not too exaggerated to cause motion sickness or whatever, it's just the right amount of ragdolling.

>>717091264
male MC (top)

action game, you are using a curative but you get hit while the animation plays so the curative falls to the ground and breaks, losing it. Yes or no? I think it might be too frustrating.

For a complete newbie who has a lot of free time and no ambition to immediately shoot for releasing games, what's the best engine?
I'm currently fiddling around in UE5 and it's surprisingly good for a newfag but i wonder if godot and unity are better suited for a solo dev.

Quake has taught me that a single moving box collider can be a drawbridge, a moving platform, a door, a crusher or a trapdoor with basically no modifications to code. Literally all the same thing.

Every world now has a Nett Hier sticker in it. If you shoot them all, you get an achievement. We really, really fucking hate seeing those stupid things on every vacation we go.

>>717090949 (OP)
Thanks for actually putting a title, it's impossible to find these threads in the archive because the guy never names them anything.

Continuing where I left off last night, going to implement a score counter and rewards for taking out the trash.

I am making my game in Jai.

>>717097506
as a ue4 dev that was a noob when i started i'd say it doesn't matter which engine. unless there is a benefit for your specific game

>>717097506
Depends on really you I guess. I didnt know Unity had blueprints like unreal but I started with unreal 5.3 them moved 5.4.4.
Most have good tutorials on them. If you want to watch videos about syntax check Unreal University. If will keep you from doing stupid shit like casting every time you do 1 thing instead of setting an initiate event that runs at the beginning.
https://youtu.be/KE_8OwmHY-A?si=fsD337IzhYiIO5cP

I sometimes feel bad if my game is taking inspiration or stuff from games I like, for example Beyond Citadel or similar shooters. It just feels odd to me.

>>717098193
Fuck that is hilarious. I know it might not be intentional but it makes me think of the giants in Skyrim pre patched physics.

>>717097997
yeah but Duke Nukem taught me that you gotta be careful woth those assumptions or else your doors might crush the player

>>717098818
I mean it definitely explains instead death touching a door.

>>717098628
You really shouldn't give a shit, I am openly inspired by games I like because I wanna make games I myself would play. Great artists steal, nothing new under the sun, yada yada. I think at the very least you should give your game its own sense of identity though, give it something that people can point to and say "THIS is what it does different from the other games like it".

Just look at Yooka-Laylee for example. It came out really rough at launch and even now it's kind of a piece of shit. People would've been kinder to it if it did something original or innovative, but it didn't so the flaws stick out much more than they'd otherwise do because everything it does, Banjo-Kazooie (and Tooie) do better. That's the trap you could run into if you're too naked about your inspiration.

>>717098818
For the crusher, I am just going to duct tape a box collider to the end of it with a damage component on it. The others won't do any damage.

>>717091264
Male MC (Power bottom)

>>717090949 (OP)
What is this, a job presentation? Who's the fucking insufferable retard who started making these threads? Show me your game bitch.

I feel bad for mostly copying the shit i see in the tutorials but i see no other way to get into gamedev

>>717091002
>>717090949 (OP)
shut the fuck up fygoon

>>717091264
>battle fuck
Male protag. I understand it's a lot of work doing a lot of female enemies, but it's required so the player doesn't get bored. If you have a female protag, having the same girl get fucked over and over with generic scenes gets boring.

>>717099313
perfectly fine as long as you are trying to understand the code and not just copy&pasting with 0 care

>>717098387
Man blueprints are such an awesome system for a non-programmer, but i wonder if having no C++ knowledge will fuck me in the long run.
This system almost looks easy after nearly 3 years with comfyui

>>717099037
People would have been kinder to yookalele if the dev haven't joined in on the jontron bashing, agree or not with his words that was retarded, he directed his fanbase to the kickstarter and of course they were sharpening their knives to give scathing reviews over any flaw they may have forgiven otherwise.

Today is blender day. Started a new armor set of 3.

>>717099834
They are! And dont worry, the more dedication and discovery you make and stick with it, eventually you will run into hybrid c++ and BP tutorials.

>>717090949 (OP)
How do u make a 3D game in C without any emgine lol.

>>717100330
dope

>>717100330
Can you draw or how do you come up with designs?

>>717100530
you cant use unity?

>>717098081
Here's what it looks like if you destroy it, cause funny.

And with audio cause the background music is pretty dope:

>>717101236
Nice game, but have you ever visited Berlin?

What do you gamers think of my first game's steam page?
It's unfortunate I have to show the monster but that's what you need to get some interest flowing on steam apparently.
I think it's more potent as a surprise

>>717101473
No, and I never intend to go. I went to Cologne once for Gamescom and god was it depressing.

>>717101519
>Cologne
nice cathedral and some neat street art, but lots of junkies tho

Doing some code refactoring today in preparation for making child Combat classes with their own rules.

>>717100559
Usually via ai prompts for the image, then days upon days tweaking prompts in meshy, photoshop, blender, and unreal. Unreal has better modeling tools for my specific needs at times. Normally the prompts starts with dark fantasy and I usually add "games asset or "prop" so it generates a part like. Here is an example of my progress when I started vs how my character looks now.

I installed Unreal and been messing around with it and wanted to make some low poly assets in Blender. However exporting it to Unreal has been an absolute nightmare. .fbx files for some reason smooth my model, making it look like complete shit, and don't carry my texture with it. I guess I can go manually reapply it from an image but still.

.glb has the texture, even seems to preserve the material (although it's an instance material linked to some gltf plugin) and doesn't smooth the model but for some reason it fucks up the scale completely.

What's your workflow when it comes to this? I just started learning Blender as well so I know almost nothing about modelling and UVs and all that. I just wanted to mess around a bit in-engine with the basic shitty stuff I can already make. I'm retarded so I'd appreciate some advice.

>>717100559
>>717102408
Here is the full picture reference

>>717102649
Synthol, it seems. Goal of the game is to purge the Synthol and replace it with true lifting power.

>>717102514
shade flat

>>717098193
>Garbage man, Japan
:O

>>717102408
Did you use tutorials or were you born with the needed knowledge?

>>717098193
Make the bags jiggle.

>>717102514
>exporting it to Unreal has been an absolute nightmare
unity can be a mess too. its just one of those things we live with.

>>717103065
Experience of course lol. The prompts came with time, 99% of it is fucking garbage to work with. But honestly I've learned UE5 from going through tutorials. I'd advise against Gorka as he goes through many shortcuts to make a "game" and uses event ticks way more than necessary. Same for blender, ill watch tutorials when im stuck on something.

>>717101236
looking cool but I don't think that music fits that scenario

>>717104428
You mean the environment?

>>717104471
yeah, what else could I mean lol

>>717104576
Eh, it's near the end of the game in a top secret underwater base swarming with enemies and tough battles. I think it works fine when you go through it, this specific room is just a puzzle room.

>>717103971
That's how I approached coding at uni. Do first and look up if stuck. Do you have an eta?

I'm range banned, cant post files. Just added another gear piece that summons a little follower:

Motivation is fickle, cultivate discipline. Keep it up.

>>717095985
Looks nice, maybe some blood splats or some other juice could be added too?

>>717100330
Impressive, my blender skills are nowhere near that.

>>717106581
>>Motivation is fickle, cultivate discipline
Yeah, I know. I forced myself to work on it bit by bit until I got my motivation back proper and now I'm enjoying the process again even if I'm a codelet.

>>717090949 (OP)
I'm making the next Cry Engine

>>717105261
Not yet, but definitely want to get a demo out by December.

>>717106930
Next to impossible to run of current and future hardware?

>>717102514
When you import does unreal create a new folder with your textures on your desktop or in the folder where your model is?

>>717107403
Dw it will have multithreading and everything is done trough shaders, MSAA and a custom non-SS GI solution

>>717106581
>maybe some blood splats
huh yeah, haven't thought about that. i don't have blood decals at all

Working on boss animations

I get no views on reddit, doing marketing sucks, I hate it. I used to think if you make a good game, sales will come, but now I don't even have confidence in this game anymore. I'll still work on it for a while with hope but my soul has sort of resigned and accepted defeat with life.

>>717108117
It just puts the imported stuff in the project folder where I tell it. It seems to drag the entire scene with it. I also found the option that makes my flat objects smooth - it's when you choose to have it compute normals (the default) as opposed to importing them.

I found the official unreal plugin for importing from blender and it just werks, but unfortunately it's dead and it only works in blender 3.6. In any kind of recent version it's fucked

>>717108802
I have the same problem with plug-ins. Any features in the later version you would like to have?

Is the salt and sanctuary / sacrifice series using 2D skeletal animation or is that another technique altogether?

>>717108670
>I get no views on reddit, doing marketing sucks, I hate it. I used to think if you make a good game, sales will come, but now I don't even have confidence in this game anymore. I'll still work on it for a while with hope but my soul has sort of resigned and accepted defeat with life.
That's kind of how it is anymore. There's not even any hope of getting paid to make a game for someone else because so many people are willing to dev for free.

taking a sip

>>717108670
Don't let the faggotry of reddit pull you down anon.

>>717108670
Try #screenshotsaturday on twitter.
Also make sure you have an actually appealing game. You'd be surprised how many devs fail this basic step.

>>717109532
Wow good job dude! I have nothing to comment on it speaks for itself.

>>717109070
I'm too new at this whole thing to give you an informed reply unfortunately. In an ideal world I'd just want to click on my blender model and import it into unreal complete with UVs etc. That's what the official plugin already does, it's just outdated.

There's actually a plugin for unreal itself that makes it support .blend, and it's maintained and probably just werks, but it's also not free :^)

Before I lose my mind any further about this, I'll just forget about this whole thing and learn both more unreal and 3D modelling separately before trying to figure it out, I don't even know yet how to texture things properly

i tried to make a voxel engine in unity and it was not only very hard but ran like dogshit in the end

is this why people who make actual voxel games generally use custom engines?

>>717109532
put in canned fortnight dances

>>717109795
Haha you're fine man. I started off using assets and made the game framework (still wip) just copied my assets over once I was ready for the modeling portion because I didn't want to model without knowing a gamepad would actually work right.

>>717109718
thanks!
>>717110027
already in

>>717091264
before you decide on an MC, i think there's a different MC you need to ask.

>>717110205
I like this one and the on where they are watching TV.

>>717103119
>Make the bags jiggle.

That's the plan once I have the basic game prototype done.

Score counter is implemented.

>>717111503
will you add a mechanic that lets you run over people who litter for bonus points?

>>717111439
lol, glad someone liked that. I want to make more silly stuff, maybe when I have more enemy types.

>>717111801
No, litter makes you money. Your job will be to avoid running over people as you try to deliver the trash to the bin against a timer for.. reasons. Hitting people costs you money and hitting them too many times gets the police on your ass.

>>717112173
I hate people who litter and want to seem them punished

bump

>>717111832
It adds to their character for sure lol.

>>717112240
This is what I'm banking on, people will find it satisfying to clean up the trash and make it look nice.

I can't make it an obvious carmageddon, those kind of games are going to be banned next.

added an effect when combining items on the slot that holds the item that will result from the combination, hoping to add some more feedback to it. Next up I'll work on the tools, items you can craft to help you in combat, like items to stun enemies, throwing bombs, and that kind of stuff. The code to aim those should come in useful when I work on the bow later on.

>>717115660
Bonus for... capturing litterers on phone cam photo?

At the same time... you have to hide you're taking a picture because driving whilst using a phone is illegal?

>>717090949 (OP)
Just released a demo... Could really use some feedback.
https://landoringel.itch.io/city-of-spells

>>717096161
damn theres no way you did this by yourself

>>717090949 (OP)
Do games (rpg) have too much (boring or repetitive) text? If so, why? Cheap filler?

art is the hardest thing to do when you do badao gemu

>>717115887
I guess it wouldn't matter but would you make the effect different based on size of consumable? It doesn't really matter if the game shows your health increase.

>>717117607
I like it when NPCs change up their dialog depending on what main quest is active, or when you talk to them twice and they say something new.
Also flavor text for the surroundings and objects are also nice, major points for lore dumps readable via bookshelves

>>717117648
Just make your game 8 bit, ez graphics

>>717118027
sorry anon but I don't understand what you mean.

>>717118948
Totally. This is needed imho, else the world feel static. Implementing passage of time *kamala intensifies* is important to me. Small details here and there go a long way. Even if its only changing the npc location after a certain quest.

>>717119025
I hate the demake trend by indie game developpers

>>717100330
is that AI sloppa?

>>717119554
no

GUYS....

I need to make 1.8 million dollar real quick!

What game should I make?

>>717120005

cyberpunk game

>>717120241
isn't fantasy more popular?

>>717120421
huuh no look cyberpunk 2077

>>717120223
haha ok, I thought you were talking about combinations. Nah, for now the effect will be the same for every potion, but it's a cool idea and I'll write it down for later.

Still making my VN about twelve identical sisters. Planning to redraw blue, but I can't decide if I want to keep her face hidden or not. It makes it very difficult for her to emote.

>>717120725
Cool beans man :)

>>717108286
MMZ-like?

>>717120873
ended up just doing it since it was a small change. First potion emits 30 particles, then the second and smaller one emits 15. I think it's a neat little detail, ty anon.

>>717120687
yeah but is that cyberpunk as a setting or just cyberpunk 2077?

>>717121036
Subtle enough to not overdo it, but enough to know they're different, well done dude!

>>717121036
Oh cool, that does make a difference

>>717121213
I was thinking about a fps/tps (can switch) shooter where you can hack enemies to complete your missions

>>717121868
>>I was thinking about a fps/tps (can switch) shooter
So kinda like Cliax Codec

>>717091264
Its rape or be raped, Male MC female enemies

>>717121036
can i ask you how you do enemy navigation, im about to start that "adventure"...

>>717121213
What makes cyberpunk a thing? I feel it's neon + unhappy ending for the vast majority of fans.

>>717098193
The german race has fallen

>>717119554
yes

>>717119554
maybe

>>717121378
>>717121493
thanks anons, glad you like it!
>>717122036
the basics are setting up a navigation mesh for your enemies to traverse, and assigning a navigation agent node to each of them so they can interact with the mesh. I got started with this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-juhGgA076E
Thing is, the end result will be kinda shit. You'll notice how all the enemies pile together and form a beeline when following you. To make things more interesting, I recommend looking into boids and flock behaviors, so they can move like an unit, but respecting each other's distance. Good luck!

>>717122341
>I recommend looking into boids and flock behaviors,
I think the best way to make "lifelike" enemies interesting is to control them all at once rather than treat them as completely separate. Kind of like how in OOT, enemies would group up on you but stand back if you targeted a particular one. You'd probably need an enemy manager to handle that.

>>717122485
yeah, that's another way to do that. Thing is I wanted to make a beat'em'up where enemies are quite active and don't wait for others, plus I wanted to make it unpredictable. If you go with that approach you mention, you'll end up with predictable behaviors like the one you describe from OOT. Don't think one is better than the other, depends on how's the game you want to make.

>>717121948
no. more like cod and dead space (because I only playeed few games in my life, thats all I know as a references)

I hate the overwhelming sense of doom that comes with enjoying the process of game dev, but knowing that it's for the sake of creating an end product that is meant to entertain others, and how incredibly rare it is for people to actually give it the time of day, or how long into dev it takes for players and not fellow devs to show interest

>>717117571
i wish i wasnt doing this by myself

>>717123208
I try to focus on enjoying the journey, giving value to all the stuff I'm learning while making a game I want to play. And if the game ends up being a piece of shit, well, we can always make another one, right?

>>717122341
enemies are so complicated. good enemies that are fun to fight especially...

>>717123305
I'm impressed you did this all by yourself. especially the anime style which I wish I knew how to do it

Hello bros
I am starting to get the hand of the basic stuff in Blender, the learning with the Udemy courses is going well
If I'll keep going like this for the next month or so I believe I could actually start making some nice assets for my game. How long did it take you guys to get comfortable with Blender?

>>717124082
Nta but I'm working on a few things with AI. I finished a function in their behavior tree when im further away or out of the navmesh they go back to their idle tasks.

fucking around with spyro levels gives me more joy than i care to admit

>>717124452
"must have been the wind" dope stuff

I find very amusing how these dev threads have a lot more people showing their games than the AGDG threads

>>717124452
Looks great, the only thing that I'm not a fan of is the font and the emblem of the UI, I think that it does not fit the vibe that you are going for
Everything else is dope though!

Finished another weapon, took me 2 day to get this working properly. I´m sure if I weren´t so bad at coding things would be going a lot faster

>>717124631
Don't worry the autistic retard with his dumbfuck dragon is going to show up soon and ruin the thread.

Really? Where is he?

>>717124507
nothing like having some unproductive fun with your project
>>717124452
very cool! enemy behaviors can be complicated

>>717124684
I agree with the font, but the emblem at the top is a berserk meter. It changes based on what ability you have equipped, I just haven't fully implemented it. I appreciate your feedback though as i made the emblem quicker in photoshop than i should i should have.
Here's a very old version of the first cutscene I made foe the purpose of showing the abilities

>>717124452
Cool fantasy moonknight game anon. I´m dreading how close I am to finally having to start work on enemy AI

a word on flock behaviors: mind the precipices

>>717125541
Ack wrong one. I cant find it sorry anon.

>>717125727
This looks cool anon, I´m into any game that let´s me shield bash enemies into cliffs

>>717125541
can you move during this dialogue?

>>717125727
lemmings!

>>717125910
Simple input disable until it finishes. I added more enemies after I updated assets

>>717125727
you should add in a state where they stop moving and do the ledge tip toe arm waving leaning thing

>>717125653
It isn't too bad, behavior trees are fun at least to me. Im only struggling with a function that if the enemy doesn't see you and you attack they become aggro and start attacking. Getting them to stop was adding their location, my location, and a float range and an better behavior update function. When the range is met, it causes a "failure" response to combat and and failures reverts back to default root tree, for now it is an simple move to with a few random animations tied to it.

>>717125727
looks fun

>>717095258
For using them as a placeholder until the actual content is being made? Completely fine.
For using them as final art? Your game will get called out as an asset flip and rightfully so.
If you can't make 3D models, don't make 3D games.

Couple days ago, I finally got portraits to appear during my text events. Not only that, but I can also change them out, change emotions etc.

I skipped the battle to check for any bugs towards the end of the script. Also testing switching in and out characters. If you're wondering why they aren't facing towards each other at the end, their sprites are facing different directions, and I have to get them re-done anyways.

>>717129208

Cant post progress due to NDA but i can share one thing; it's easier when you have someone to bounce ideas with. Maybe some of you yougnsters have that passion to do it all on your own and plow through but if you are stuck find yourself someone you trust to talk about it. We could use the thead to do this but you know, it can turn to shit when that one faggot who also most definitely made this thread shows up.

HOLLY BASED

This doesn´t really look like a point and click at this point. Not that it doesn´t looks good, but looks like just an action game at this point

>>717135397
Damn giving off Nocturne vibes.

I rendered a triangle with vulkan and this how I feel and look

how! do i! come up with a cool story! with my characters! that isn't wacky lolrandom memeslop! without the story there is no context and without the context there is no game to be made! do i need to take acid? where is my epic toby fox fever dream!!!!!

>>717100330
Added the chest piece to the game to check against weird issues with the skeleton after import.

>>717090949 (OP)
why am i working on a saturday night

>>717136178
>work
Lol

>>717135994
Yeah theres just not alot of clickables yet, also you wont get anything full auto till the very end. The resource management is gonna keep it from just being rambo

It took 16 hours, but I finally upgraded one of the models to ARKIT facial blendshapes. I am so happy. Got my second hand Rokoko suit/gloves/facial mocap up and running. Got my NLA editor working the way I want. All I gotta do now is learn proper cinematography and start producing content.

>>717136241
what else would you call it

>>717136595
put a dig in her.

>>717136130
Added gloves. All in all they form ok, but they'll get put back into blender for more tweaks.

>>717136595
It looks like a botox patient. Are you recording your face with minor movements?

>>717136910

It's a he.

>>717137028

Yeah, just a small test. I built in a multiplier slider for each blendshape, but have not applied them yet. I still got some tweaking to do.

>>717137359
Ah I gotcha sorry. I forget nothing generally is ready to go out the gate. But mad impressive you bought that stuff to use it. I planned on using my phone lol

>>717137359
Make him a she and put a dig in her.

Learn how to program in OpenGL or some other graphics library. For OGL this site right here is a great place to learn:
https://learnopengl.com
Alternatively, if that's too hard, you can use Raylib. Also look up /gedg/ on /g/, they'll have more info on the details of "pure code" game development if you have questions.

>>717136595
What is this base mesh? It has the blendshapes built in?

>>717100530
write directly to /dev/fb0

>>717116920
Needs crotch kicking animation

>>717136076
>without the context there is no game to be made!
Excuse plots were the norm for most of the history of video games. If you have a good, fun game, any context is sufficient, no matter how simple.

>>717135935
Something on itch.io about dark fantasy, it doesn't start until September but the host says early work is okay because its for a spot in some bundle

>>717141336
Giving a try

>>717122113
I think so too

>>717140439
And almost none of those games are replayable nowadays because they didn't have that extra oomph to make you really give a shit about being in their world

>>717140439
What if I'm making an RPG

>>717144135
The plot can be random is progress means players aren't focued on it because they're engaged in other parts of the game.

>>717136130
>>717136960
Added the full armor set. Still need to tweak the arms and the helm piece is clipping through but it came out well.

>>717143049
Just the main menu so far but I've got the 3d software rendering working and can load the tracks. Should be in game soon.

>>717145252
>717145252
That's awesome, how challenging was this not do?

Good productive thread boys, have a great night im done for the day.

>>717145152
what's with that framerate

>>717147260
I'm using my dev computer. It isnt graphically fast like my desktop machine but has a faster cpu. Here is an older video running on my desktop.

not attacking anyone specific in this thread, but when I see an early build that's laggy as shit, I just want to tell the guy to give up or start over. I don't because I don't want to hurt the feeling of anyone directly, but if this is your game, take my advice. you aren't gonna make it run smoothly by "optimizing it later", you already fucked up big time.

>>717148130
not the anon above but i only have a weak laptop and have to record gameplay on top of shit performance, that's gotta do it sorry to trigger your autism

>>717148750
just for clarification, what made me write my post is stuff I've seen on the twitter algorithm today, has nothing to do with anything posted in this thread.

>>717131976
Well I'm not exactly a new user, I did Godot's 2D and 3D game tutorials like a year ago. My experience was okay, except for when I tried making the animation play in reverse, which was a headache. I asked an experienced Godot developer friend for a tip, and he recommended I instead use 2 animations which are opposites of each other, and that worked very well.

Phasmophobia-like MIB game where you find and neutralize illegal aliens among the human populace and minimize collateral damage and avoid being seen by civilians as you do it

>>717102760
kek

>>717148750
Same, my computer lags when running the game and record.

>>717150548
Like real ones or ones from outer space.

>>717153483
Ones from outer space but they may look like illegal aliens

Why was the last thread deleted? Jannies took it down before I got any (you)s for my progress poast

I had a idea'm for a game foday and I was thinking it's pikmin (warm itzler) but just 100000 seeds that generate levels and time trials and scoreboards. Such an easy concept, I'm gonna go for a quickie game.

are there any books you guys recommend?

>>717158475
For what?
Game Programming Patterns is probably nice to read, no matter your engine or role, albeit not sure a beginner would be able to grasp most of it.
Which frankly applies to most programming books. If you haven't coded a decent amount and suffered due to your own incompetence, most things written in books about programming techniques or clean code will fly over your head.

>>717123208
>or how long into dev it takes for players and not fellow devs to show interest
This is why you should listen to your inner child and craft the literal coolest game you can think of

>>717145152
Wtf, you constantly make progress. Neato!

>>717143807
Same goes for any punk aesthetic. It's just one or two characteristics with a certain aesthetic, like random clogs and wheels for steampunk. That wasn't always the case, considering jules vernes is pioneer of steampunk. It was about a certain spirit and the vision that technology elevates society and therefore civilisation itself.

Working on a game gave me a newfound appreciation for games. Every smallest detail is painstaking work, well unless it is an asset flip. Anyway I got a new obsession of photographing old walls and pavements so I can use them as baseline for creating tiles for my dungeon crawler. Hoping to have something to showcase for Anons soon, been mostly working on under the hood stuff, turn based battle especially was more challenging than I thought since I wanted a flexible system with chain reactions
