It was an undertale clone so I regret not finishing it and scooping up some fans, but I also don't regret it because I didn't get to have my actual voice heard through my own game ideas.

dropped my very first game which was meant to be multiplayer, way above my head even now

dropped a wallpaperjam game once because of lack of interest

dropped a 2D dark souls clone that I wanted to make despite never playing dark souls (lol), good call especially since 2D dark souls clones are super tired now

seeing as other than those I still actually made and released 6 games playable from start to finish and got some feedback on them, I only really feel bad about the multiplayer game. I still want to make it someday

but first I gotta finish the singleplayer one in the same universe

Don't be silly, it was my first game.
> You're implying that the failures, or learning trials and experiences along the way to a finished product are not anything.
No I am not. However what I meant is that finishing it, it's going to be a complete experience of the dev process. Failure is a kind experience that is not meant to be repeated.
Why do you need to repeat the experience of an incomplete game?
> I've canceled because I didn't like them
You don't need foresight to complete games. You need certitude and plans. If just you wanted to play around with an idea, that's fine, but if you thought that idea will give you a whole game, then you are wrong.

Don't mask failure as something that is not. Errors and mistakes are needed, but make them count.

>>181635896
Point and Click games are literally the easiest games to make. Even if you finish your point and click game you are not considered a real developer.

Every time I drop a project, I take it as a sign that I should refine my scope. I try to come up with projects that I think I'll be better able to finish, but that I'm still excited to make. Even if it's not the best game ever, I'll still get the experience of what it means to finish a game.

[repost from last thread]
Fishing for recommendations of games that either feature lots of conventional dungeon crawling, are slow paced side-scrolling adventure/platforming games, really-really good side-scrolling adventure/platforming games, or less conventional games that still technically qualify as "crawling," a "dungeon." Top-dollar fantasy RPGs may also apply.
-for research purposes.
The list (have/am going to play) currently includes:
Bauldur's Gate
Claustrophobia
Dark Souls
Darkest Dungeon
Delver**
The Elder Scrolls
EvilMaze
Hollow Knight
Legend of Grimrock
Magicite
Momodora
Rogue Legacy
Salt and Sanctuary
Shovel Knight
Sword of the Stars: The Pit
Volgarr the Viking

Not really looking to make a BG/Divinity situation, or a DS/ES situation, but like a slow, methodical, side-scrolling action/adventure game.

Back when I was trying to get my little brother into programming we worked on a small RPG, it wasn't anything special but it was fun to work on. This is probably from 2011-2012

>>181636979
Not yet, but developer is working on it. The most recent post they showed some of the music: https://soundcloud.com/user-812395050

Doing some tests with a state machine implementation, i made each state into a separate object/component, the parent object hold all states but only updates the current active one.
switching happen via signals to keep everything separated, a state never knows about other states and only need to receive a signal from the parent to activate and it can force it to send a signal, now i don't even need flags and tons of if statements to check for every little detail.
everything is clean now but turning what used to be a single object into an aggregation of objects would cut performance even by a small amount, well, i won't have to worry about it for a 2d game with few active enemies at once, but it really makes me think, is a clean and comfy code worth the the price of performance?

Zaamurets, pic related, meant to be a soviet-style train wallpaper for a game jam, artstyle inspired by this animation, first experiment with normal maps. reused in a skyjam game Grand Stratospheric, a fast-paced Transport Tycoon-like

the souls clone only got one one sprite before I dropped it, top right corner of pic related. it was meant to resemble Titanfall's Spyglass, but its camera-like head wound up looking more like a furry head with a nozzle, so I went for a furry robot-thing instead. might up putting him somewhere in Ye Olde Noir GTA as an NPC

>>181637540
Only in the beginning sequence of the game. In later parts they gave you fetch quests, tips, save points, or even attacked you.

Today I tried to implement follow mouse click movement in my 3D unity game.

>>181638048
You know what, I should rephrase my statement. Game dev is a continuous journey and there's always going to be something to learn/improve upon. What I meant by my original statement is that one should learn small individual things until their knowledge is substantial enough that they can create a full project. Once you've done that, then you can move on to the next game and repeat the process.

Of course, this is all pretty subjective. You might "not suck" at making a particular kind of game, but your knowledge/skill may be lacking in another genre. And either way, of course different people will have different views on your abilities. Just look at how different people view the same developer, for example.

So no, I can't name someone who has mastered all aspects of game dev/design, and I believe no one ever will truly master all aspects. But that doesn't mean that we can't git gud through deliberate, smart practice.

>>181639247

>>181638545
I think that's a fair point, but there's nothing inherently wrong with delaying a game if you feel you can make it better with time. Besides, I think most devs usually have multiple ideas anyway. If they're only focusing on one of them, does that make them a nodev because they're not working on the others at the same time?

no you dont get it.
a yesdev doesnt have dreamgames, they have projects and an ideas folder of potential projects.
nodevs are the only ones that have dreamgames and if they work on a dreamgame its their first project and if they finish their dreamgame it took them multiple years and was mediocre at best.
ideas you have before youre a yesdev are generic shit ideas that only a nodev would consider worth existing.

if you have a "dreamgame" still in your ideas folder go have a read of it and tell me it isnt the most generic trash in your entire ideas folder. proceed with deleting it.

Quick question...
How do "jumper games" (Doodle Jump-like) do it? Are the character and camera going up or everithing else going down?

I mean, shouldn't it need to load a ton fuck of objects and sprites and shit?

>>181643628
for one you're injecting your fetish, but mostly this game doesn't seem to have a clear focus. sounds like it wants to be persona, chrono trigger final fantasy and a dating sim.

>>181636947
The central row is a better mechanic. Dominion is about determining the correct build for a set of cards, then executing it with minimal interaction with everyone else at the table. It's almost a single player game. Ascension solved this with the central pile, adding both interaction with other players and shiftng strategy during the game. The cost is a little extra randomness.

>>181638324
Go full autism and make up an architectural vernacular based on a combination of real historical styles, technology levels, culture, climate, and locally available building materials.

Classic tudor medieval architecture does serve a role in videogames, however. It's a symbol that is immediately read as a house, so players spend no energy thinking about it and can focus on everything else that your game has to offer.

the camera and character are going up, platforms are stationary, the ones that you leave behind as you ascend get placed above so you don't have a shitton of objects in the game

the game essentially works like a train that tears off the track behind it and places it in front of itself, also known as a tank

no, you can just tile it, tear off the tiles that you leave behind, place them above

You can split it into several textures.
Most 'make your first shoot em up' tutorials advise making the background and enemies move around and keeping the camera static.

Anyone here familiar with GMS know the performance difference between making a collision event vs checking in the step event?

I know there's a timing difference, since step events occur before the collision events, but the engine is pretty much just calling place meeting every frame, right? I ask mostly because my collision events are acting wonky and not getting called for some reason. In GMS2.

If you're making this on a computer instead of with cardboard, you can control the randomness and ensure that a certain number of cards for each strategy always show up. There's also unexplored space where you have fixed piles like dominion but can affect them like in ascension. Or you could even have the piles on the table have some spatial gameplay too.

It comes down to what you want: more moment to moment tactical thinking of ascension, or the puzzle-like deck planning of dominion.

>not using an enum
kay.
>>181654170
I'll use a byte if I'm making a proper mask or something similar, but 90% of the time, you don't need to worry about it. Shorts are middle children, there's pretty much never a scenario where you need to waste time deciding if you should use it or a 32 bit integer. It's just an awkward case, and no one here is programming for the genesis, and no one here is a Blizzard dev with an honest concern for optimization and making sure their product has the broadest install base. Make your fucking game, stop hyper focusing on these microdecisions that don't make any honest difference and just give you more excuses to not make progress.

The server tells each player it's time to take a turn. The players choose their commands they want to happen, and when they end the turn those commands are sent to the server. The server then does those commands on the play field and determines what the outcomes are. All while sending the updates to the players so they can see what's happening. Then repeat.
