Hopefully Vulkan 1.1 comes out soon. I would like to be able to work in multi-GPU and VR as early as possible.

If you are not working on progress to post in this thread, GET OUT.

How do you guys actually motivate yourselves to do/learn things? Just curious for reasons.

First for autism-deving a game that no one will play that's basically mental masturbation because you believe you know the "right way" to do stuff even though decades of development for a genre has slowly weeded out the things you think are "good".

No regrets.

>>167526163
The desire to know the thing I'm trying to learn

>>167526163
keep doing shit you like, until you get good at it.
then work on the stuff you don't like and get good at it.

posted in the previous thread but don't believe i got an answer

The OP website's tutorial link seems to be still under construction so I figured I'd ask you guys

I'm looking for a good tutorial series for GM, obviously for beginner level but hopefully I would like to move into more advanced lessons eventually. Video series preferred but I wouldn't mind reading as well

>>167526038
Comfy dev best dev, I put a pillow on the back of my chair, some ambiant, and took a shower so I feel fresh.

>>167526139
>progress to post in this thread
tweaking minor values is boring

>>167526163
curiosity, feelings of achievement once you produce something, interest in a field, and artistic expression
the last one is kinda bullshit I know

>>167526281
honestly the best way to learn GM is to just read the documentation. everything has decent examples of how to use each function.

>>167526165
Autismdeving best deving

Subscription based model is better.

>>167526339
One of my favorite things to do is take 45 minute sessions of code/gamedev and then reward myself at the end of each hour with a good stretch, something to drink and rolling around on the bed with fresh blankets from the wash that I've spritzed with clove essential oil

it makes me feel good so I just want to keep gamedev going and those warm blankets with fresh scent just wake me right up

I did a massive amount of work today. It feels fucking great. I burned the whole sunday on it though. It seems like the only way to make actually decent progress is by having zero social life and zero other hobbies.

>>167526480

>>167526480
Depends entirely on the game.

MMOs I don't mind that model, but I wouldn't want to pay a subscription for a singleplayer game that wasn't getting continuous content updates, something like Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, or World of Warcraft.

>>167526484
I haven't seen anything about your control scheme, how does it work ?

Fantasy Life for 3DS makes you hold the analog stick in a certain direction every few seconds, you could make something similar.

>>167526816
Yeah, youre probably right. I could maybe get away with 90 minute sessions with a ten minute break to get up, stretch, water, pissbreak, etc.

The trick is to find a good rhythm and just keep going with it.

>>167527020
just as a joke can you do a webm with that projectile but have a random one be a football instead? you know, since its SuperBowel sunday?

>>167526163
My motivation comes from having this great idea you want to see alive. Also you imagine how friends and others will play it. It's like looking into the future and then just filling the gaps.

Your motivation should be to make people more happy and their lives more fulfilled. But don't forget yourself, as only happy and fulfilled people can make other people feel happy and fulfilled.

If I just include it as an option for the male character and let them equip female items, do you think I could get away with it?

Okay listen up:

There is a NEW format for the -[Recap]- now:

If you would like your submissions to appear in the next Monday Night Recap then you must reply to THIS POST with the following format

//Recap
//Title:[your title]
//Dev:[your dev]
//Pf:[your platform]
//Genre:[your genre]
//Add:[any additions you made to the game]
//Sub:[any removals you made to the game]
//Comment:[Any comments you want to make]

You can now also include Webms as your image! It will automatically create a webm with all webms in it. When your webm finishes it will simply display the AGDG logo until the webm loops.

Do keep in mind that this software is completely experimental, I'm still working out BUGS

Sure, look into some foley sound packs and manipulate the shit out of them with an audio program. Another way to do it is to get a vst synth that you can generate the sounds you need with.
Audacity, with plugins, can be an extremely helpful audio manipulator.

That's clearly a gmod posing. that's clearly "flatgrass". you can even clearly see "flattywood" in the background, and those are all HL2 textures. NONE of this is a game, or game dev.

Same here, Javascript in Unity is really easy. There's a few standard rules missing in GML but for the most part everything is the same, look at JS tutorials.

That third point refers to Unity itself. The term "Software" is defined in an earlier paragraph as being the Unity software. In other words, if you use Unity to mod Unity, they still own Unity even if you modded it. That's standard shit.

Why, because you told me to? Are you even the person I replied to?

Is there anybody here who's actually good at turn-based RPGs, and thus knows where I've gone wrong?

I've always been terrible at them. Usually I just hit attack a whole bunch, and if it's a game with specific weaknesses like Persona, I obviously exploit that with lightning/poision/whatever. Now, being dumb, my gaem has fallen into this exact trap. You can basically just spam attack to win, and I'm genuinely not sure how to make it more complex than that other than by adding in very obvious multi-turn attacks you need to block, or adding timing elements like Paper Mario.
