Does /jp/ still make games? This never got finished: https:

I think the only one still being worked on is the loli kidnapping simulator but I haven't been on the OC thread in a while.

>>15801905
>never got finished

That sounds like every project by western Touhou fans unfortunately.

I'm slowly working on three games. Only one is a true game, though: a mahjong client and server.
>>15801917
I see the squid game too.

>>15801917
>loli kidnapping simulator
Wait, what? Where is this?

>>15801917
I think there was some new danmaku thing on last drawthread also.

>>15801905
I'm surprised someone remembers this. It's gotten me to open it up and look at it again, but like before I wasn't going anywhere with it. Would be nice to pick it up again.

I hope the fan game dev thread makes a comeback. It was always nice seeing other /jp/sies doing stuff.

>>15801905
Nah, everyone lose motivation.
Maybe it's not worth it, especially on /jp/.

>>15805107
It's hard to keep motivation sometimes, when working out of the comfort zone almost daily. Strong vision, discipline and personal goals drives me to work with project even those "zero motivation days". Also inadequate feelings are often present, when making creative things. But all these things are kind of that you can learn to deal with. And one the biggest things about keeping motivation is that I have one /jp/'sie and few other like-minded people to share this workload and dream of the own video game. Together we can do it.

>>15801905
>never got finished
One of my personal goals of the project is to make sure that /jp/ gets shit done after all these failed projects. I strongly believe it's possible.

I have personal stigma against blatant advertising and blog posting on /jp/ and I feel little filthy doing it myself now. I will blend to the shadows and continue to take it easy from now on.

>>15805633
Waiting warmly for the demo. Ganbatte.

I know it hasn't been that long since the announcement, but good luck with it! I hope the development of that game goes well, because I'm honestly pretty eager already.

>>15811609
Is there going to be an extensive mahjong tutorial in-game?

>>15811609
Sweet, I'll be waiting for it, godspeed!

>>15811613
No, but there is a referee you can turn on and off. With the referee on, you can only follow the rules while you play, and the referee calculates scores. With it off, it is simply a mahjong table simulator, where you can improvise rules or cheat, as long as it still consists of basic tile actions.
Mahjong is pretty easy to learn, and interestingly enough, there are multiple well-written documents in English for it.
It accommodates every type of mahjong by using a file format (similar to rc if you use Unix) that lets you specify multiple facets and rules of gameplay. This means you can have multiple sorts of riichi and non-riichi mahjong.

>>15811637
I've tried to play mahjong in tabletop simulator before but the controls in that game are simply against you for something that requires a bit of finesse in maneuvering pieces.
I do hope you'll include bad table manners.

What would be a simple game to make?

I bought GameMaker today. All I've done is make a little bit blob move around a great featureless box and shoot a bunch of red bullets though.

I did have a pretty funny situation though, where I made a pretty decent reticle, and then fucked up the coding so that literally billions of them were spawned whenever I clicked the mouse.

Hey /jp/. A couple months ago I posted about my work in progress shmup in the OC thread, and according to the analytics at least 3 of you liked it.

I just released a big update for demo day 10 over at /vg/, it adds the 3rd of 5 levels, polishes up the old 2, and adds a new playable ship with unique abilities. I know this stuff is up some of your alleys, so please enjoy.
https://sinoc.itch.io/shmoop

>>15812183
Playing through the first level in the level select so far. Forgive me for giving feedback before exploring the full game. The SFX seem louder than the music, I wish they were a little closer together in volume.
But, the design is fun and the game is fun. I'm bad at shmups so I just eat up all my lives, but I enjoy it anyways. I'm also surprised to recognise many of the assets: I normally consider myself ignorant as for videogames.
Enjoying it so far.

>>15812183
I also feel that the only speed that works in this game is the fastest one.

>>15812183
It's fun but I don't see any use in the 3 speed system, I felt bosses had too much health but maybe that's because I'm really bad and always died before them. I'll play it more when I have some free time, maybe tomorrow.
It recognized my x360 controller right away.
>>15812623
You can change that in the settings.

the team is still stuck in regards to animators and its a big hangup

I've had less time to work on what I want because the college semester started, and I also still suck at sprites a lot.
I'm going to try doing a more simple game if possible.

Thanks for the humble bundle tipoff.

I'm still trying to get the audio balance right. I changed my method of ripping sounds half way though the project, so I had to have the two ways meet in the middle of volume.

I was thinking about bumping all the speeds up one frame movement (so that 2 would be the same as 3 is now) or adding a 4th speed.
>>15813581
When I finally implement the easier difficulties proper, regular enemies will have change to drop powerups and bosses will be less bullet spongy. Right now, the difficulty is somewhere between Hard and Extreme.

This boss isn't in the demo, but a taste of something to come with the full version in a few months.

>>15815804
I've been looking for an artist for a year. Of the 4 I've gotten into talks with,3 of them all droped of the project before making any usable resources, and one of them only ever made sprites for the main ship.
The latter later went to work on Sonic Mania, so imagine that art style with the game play it's got now

I'm that guy from the 2012~2013 IRC game creation project who was making that cyberpunk game with yogurt. I'm still making it.

Oh there was a guy who was doing or wanted to do a quiz game, I wonder if he's still at it.

>>15815831
>curvy lasers
It's like PC-98 touhou all over again! I'm excited. Also, as long as the game is free, using other assets is a nostalgic thing rather than a lazy thing. I disagree with the poster you reply to.

>>15816456
Can you post an image of it?
Also, do you have any links to that VN about a girl who needs to eat peanut butter in order to not get punched and turned into a door?

I have an eroge written up, programmed to run, and what not. I need an artist though. Can't seem to find anyone willing to draw for me though. Anyone? Been looking for a year or so.

rpg maker mv is also on sale on steam for 50% off

I wanna make an ero-ACT game because so few of them come out and too many of them are about yuri or monstergirls or bestiality, but I'm too lazy to make lewd animations and those cheap animations some games use with the marionette like movements, or worse the tween motion gifs, are bad in my eyes.

And in the end, it'll be played, fapped to, and forgotten. Even if it's the kinda fun game you can come back and play when you're bored, it won't have that fresh lewd feel.

That's why I want to create something that can generate characters of slightly different appearances and with different possible poses but that's even more effort and people will just complain they can't get the post they want.

A lot of animations also bother me when I analyze them enough. They look weird in some way just looping the same frames. That's why I don't like ero anime, but I think this only happens when the frames are too slow moving.

I also fear that westerners really cannot make actual cute and lewd characters, due to some subconscious influence. Western games always make characters that are "sexy" in a stereotypical sense and not in an actually sexy sense, or else they make things that are just symbolic (in the way that a lot of anime faces look like symbolic faces than actual faces). They also tend to include way, way too much gay shit.

Like Japanese games might have a female protagonist and then 1 or 2 futa characters or a yuri scene, or rarely if the protag is male they might have a trap character, if the protag isn't also a trap. But like in western games, you start off choosing whether you're male or female or futa and then the whole thing is full of nearly unavoidable gay and futa sex. (*note, I mean both yuri and yaoi when I say gay) They also tend to get mixed in with the furry crowd, who then proceed to want to fill the game with furries.

It feels hopeless.

Do people like short minigames for stat raising?

>>15818987
>want to make a princess maker game without having it be too much of a princess maker clone
>Do people like short minigames for stat raising?

Like what, Monster Rancher? I liked the dice minigame in Littlewitch Romanesque. iM@S used rythym minigames. I don't personally think they're bad, but don't make them too long.

>>15819069
I was thinking something along the lines of Monster Rancher and iM@S with short training minigames that would take less than a minute to complete. The minigames don't need to be anything complicated but they also shouldn't be easy enough that the player can just roll over their keyboard and win.

Character stats and other factors would affect the outcome of the minigame and stat gain. But most of all, player skill. The minigames would also get progressively more difficult the higher your stats are.

Lastly, the length of one run would be short enough so that the player doesn't get tired of playing the same minigames over and over. That's what I have in mind for now.

>>15819140
>The minigames don't need to be anything complicated but they also shouldn't be easy enough that the player can just roll over their keyboard and win.

I don't think people should be personally responsible for all their daughter's failings either, so I'd suggest not making them TOO difficult.

>>15819140
>Lastly, the length of one run would be short enough so that the player doesn't get tired of playing the same minigames over and over.
What about over time of replaying the game?

Is it going to be modern or castle times?

>>15817957
I thank you with all my heart.
Thank you.

>>15819230
Obviously I won't make them pain painstakingly hard since the fun in raising games comes from planning and stat raising. The minigames are just a small part of the process that act as something to differentiate the game from just a spreadsheet simulator with pretty graphics.

An option to turn off minigames for basic RNG controlled stat raising? The minigames won't be the only real gameplay component, but it'd definitely take a lot out of the playtime.

I think fantasy settings work the best for games like these. Who wants to take their daughter to cram school every day?

>>15818985
New game?

>>15821693
Yes, fantasy is best. Cool if there is some adventuring like in Princess Maker.

So I was thinking of working on a Maid Roguelike

Kinda like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, but instead "Master was kidnapped, go to the 23rd floor of the mansion and save him!"
You use cleaning skills instead of fighting to dust away Dustbunnies and Curry Slimes. What do you think?

Since Gamemaker seems to have a bunch of programming resources for making a roguelike, hopefully it won't be hard. I'll need to focus on art, which is my only strength.

Wish me luck!

Most people beyond complete nerds don't make or play roguelikes either. Especially not ones about moe moe meidos. It's not like you're capturing a wider audience here.

Anyway, have fun dude.

Does anyone have links to free sprites to use in games?

I know there are a bunch of Japanese ones out there, I've seen archives of random sprites for free use, but forgot where they were.

I'm pretty sure the original elona used a bunch of free sprites, so anyone know where they got them?

>>15835156
please kill me

also I don't have nightmare about the game itself, I have nightmares about how the community/people will be.

The concept of having a shitty migrant camp of people who came from RO demanding that the game is 1:1 to RO and that some mechanics are different whilist being flooded by bots and RMT'ers makes my stomach turn.

>>15835517

>>15836052
Tree of Savior and RO2 were understandably not even close to being a RO clone when it comes to the gameplay/the style of how you progress troughout the game.

>>15836431
JRPGs, SRPGs, and VNs.

>>15836431
I don't think I represent the majority by any margin, but I mostly play FPSes these days. Sometimes I play some flight sims and RPGs.

>>15836431
RPGs, VNs and anything cute basically.
I've also been playing a lot of Overwatch but that's an exception.

>all those meaningless Getters
The game sounds awesome but that code seriously triggers me.

>>15825639
Yours is the one I'm looking forward to the most.

>>15851661

What would your preference be? It's shorter to write getCost() than the code there, plus it provides read-only access (which you wouldn't always be getting normally, since you wouldn't necessarily have a const Item, as you might want to be able to use an item (which would modify the Item-specific state without allowing access to modifying the static info about an object's type, like the weight of a chocolate bar). Plus if I ever decide to change the implementation of that, it's easy to do that, whereas if you exposed the entire shared read-only-storage (say each Item having a const ref to the shared storage) you're coding against that there. What if I change that? What then? What if I say I don't want that, and instead want each object to have a modifiable weight, etc, etc. Or are you specifically against have multiple ones, and instead wanting some generic system like const Value& getAttribute(Attribute attribute) const; instead, whereas Value could be a bool, int, float, string, etc? If I had a lot more attributes I would possibly prefer that, but as it stands there's only so many attributes that an item could reasonably have, and the cost of adding an extra getter is not very high. I suppose one plus to that way is a way to generically select attributes to show in certain menus, then have Value have some sort of show() command to specify a to-string conversion for showing in menus, if I were to ever want the ability to show a big spread-sheet of items in the game. However, it would still be entirely possible to write that just using something like method pointers and some templated code to handle the conversion without much effort.

Or was it something else that you find troubling about it? It's not like I have some struct where it's literally POD but with a getter/setter for every field.

It's going to take a very, very long time to make my game. I hope when I release it someday, even just a few people will like it and understand the amount of work I have to put into this to make it a reality.

>>15851633
Do you plan to make it possible to amputate the loli's limbs to have living onaholes?

>>15851733

No, that is not currently planned. There are much more fundamental features to make before even thinking about such a thing.

Anyone have any ideas for a game? I've been meaning to try game development, but I don't really have any ideas (and I've never made a big project like that either...)

>>15851633
You should make a kickstarter and avoid mentioning any of the rape/loli stuff. You can advertise it as a stealth game.

>>15851743
I never thought a developer (or an aspiring one) would ask for ideas from idea guys. I guess anything can happen in /jp/.
The terrible joke aside, I actually have a whole bunch of ideas but they're all FPSes that'd require AAA budgets. Aside from that, there's an idea for a STALKER mod, I guess. I don't think this is the board for that though, and I don't think you (or anyone else, for that matter) would be interested in any of them.

>>15851802
Woah big words there, I'm not a developer, at most an aspiring one. I just like programming and I've been meaning to find something to dick around with. And I like games I guess.

>>15851773

I'm not making the game for money. Unless it was sufficient money that I could do it and have as much as I would working full time doing something else.

>>15851711
Can't tell from the screenshot, but you got me wondering how you manage your item data. What kind of OOP abomination hides behind data()? Why do auto-generated looking Getters like getValue() and getWeight() even exist in that code? Why can't you go with POD structs in your single developer heaven?

>>15851773
This. Present all the formulas and the genetic stuff from that math thread along with some evil genius plan, like adding TWEANN powered individual brains to the "NPC"s to make them behave more live like.

>>15851743
Why won't anybody make me a Japanese bird tamagotchi-type game?

>>15851832

data() was just something that returns a read-only shared reference to data about the type of the current object. Like the weight/value/base-name of a length of rope. It's very low-abstraction, just a POD that gets read via JSON and then stored in a stuct (with unique_ptrs for the optional fields). The abstraction comes in Item mostly. There are some non-shared stuff (ie not stuff in data()) like the things that can differentiate two items of the same type (like two toys might have different owners, or two chloroform bottles might have 3 and 2 uses left respectively). The way it is now is that the users (inventories, etc) don't need to know or care about which are shared and which are specific attributes.

>>15852368
You are not trying to tell me that one items specific attribute is somehow in another items shared data(), are you?

Every scarf's base name is "scarf", and every scarf would have other similar attributes that are the same across all scarfs like the base description, weight, etc. This would get stored in a read-only table that gets the item's element of returned by data(). There are specific attributes like owners and such that aren't though, and could vary between scarfs.

It's basically just there so I don't need to replicate the data that shouldn't vary between items of the same type across every instance, yet allowing that to change at a later date if I decide to allow to vary by not exposing that fact to code using Item.

tl;dr; Specific attributes are unique to each item, but attributes that are the same for all items of a given type are shared via read-only access in data()

The UI bugs have since been fixed there.

Sorry, my question was a bit unclear.
I just wanted to know if all Scarfs, or rather, all items have the same pool of specific attributes. Like Scarf obviously doesn't have a value in "Uses" but there is no item that has "Uses" or "Owner" as a static attribute, right?

If so
> users (inventories, etc) don't need to know or care about which are shared and which are specific attributes
is really a non issue, because that information doesn't change from one item to another.

When you eventually change Weight from shared to specific you just refactor data().weight to weight - no big deal.

Yeah, nothing has uses/owner as a static shared attribute. Those are stored per-item, it's just the shared attributes that are in data().

>When you eventually change Weight from shared to specific you just refactor data().weight to weight - no big deal.

Yeah, which was why I had those "useless getters" instead of directly exposing the data struct/etc.
