>>370788469
Not entirely. Same thing as first person, just more bones.

>>370787927
>yeah but what can i improve
Short answer; add more shit

Long answer; try to think of what the location and it's history is. Who lived there, what was it there for, what happened, why is it in ruins? How long ago has it been there, what would happen over time, have there been other forms of life (e.g. plants)? You can come up with a lot of interesting ideas that way and make it more believable. It can also help you guide your level design.

Right now that looks like a storage room of failed pillars and walls, and a floor built by some unfinished neural network.

>>370788261
You can make a game with placeholder/programmer graphics and get an artist later on. Or you can use placeholders while you also learn how to asset by yourself on the side. Or you can do Unity tutorials on the side while learning to make assets is your main task. There are numerous approaches.

Telling yourself "I won't do X until I've gotten good at Y" is a surefire way to find yourself in the nodev trap. I won't program anything until I'm great at graphics! Oops, now I've spent 2-3 years learning art fundamentals, 2D graphics, 3D modelling and I still haven't learned to program pong. Oh but I now I know how to art, I shouldn't start the programming until I've learned to compose! Music is important after all. Etc. etc. Ad nauseum.

But of course I suspect you know all that and are intentionally trying to shitpost people into nodeving.

One man army is a meme, mostly.

I'm working in a team with two other people besides myself. All three of us are programmers, I do the graphics, one of the other guys does sound/music and me and the sound/music guy collaborate on the overall game/level design while the third guy is basically our hardcore techie and tester.

One man armies rarely succeed. Even if you're doing the bulk of the work and you think you can handle that (protip: you probably can't), I kind of feel like you need a second person on-board just to keep you sane. Obviously if they can take the load off for the creative duties like 3D modelling, that's good too

We remade our quest system from scratch and are almost finished with it. Then basic gameplay is done, will add graphics next. First alpha is in two weeks.

>It's like /agdg/ but without shitposting and circlejerking

The key to not having shitposting and circlejerking is not having the threads every single day. Keep it to like once every 3 days minimum, that's enough time to let people make some progress and not have the threads stagnate into shitposting and circlejerking

For writing used to ERP for 10 years every day and reading books. Went from writing out a couple sentences to being able to shitpool pages of text on demand and cutting out bad writing fat. Though the key to this like a lot of things is developing good taste over time so you aren't writing your super donut OC naruto story. So that means studying people that better than you.

A reminder that, if you cannot make your own game engine and you rely on managed memory programming languages (such as C#, Java, etc) you are not gonna make it. Great games requires thinking out of the box and full power of your computer, and you cannot obtain neither of those by using unity or GMS

>Most people come at data-oriented design from object-oriented design, and have heard of it only because of people claiming that object-oriented design is bad, or wrong, or simply not the only way of doing things. This may be the case for large scale software, and though object-oriented code does have its place (as we shall discuss in chapter [*]), it has been the cause of much wasted time and effort during its relatively short life in our passionate industry of software development and games development in particular.

How hard is programming to learn? I just want to make a shooter game

>>370787598
why would anyone ever do this...

>>370797394
It depends a lot on you. I learned to program in less than a week, that's all it took to get me independently experimenting and building game-related stuff and learning that way. Some people can't seem to wrap their heads around it at all.

Do game engines typically have controller support?

One thing I remember from the Trials Fusion track editor on the PS4 was being able to move with the left stick and rotate with the right. This was extremely useful for things like camera control, and isn't nearly as easy with a mouse.

>>370796667
>>370797621
As long as the end result looks like pixel art and follows the rules/restrictions of pixel art (size restraints, palette restraints, classical pixel art techniques) I really don't see why it matters HOW it gets done. You don't get a trophy for knowing your way around Aseprite.

>>370797641

I'm guessing it's like a logic algorithim or something? Modeling and artistic design is something I don't have any problem with, I'm pretty creative, the more technical parts of making a game are intimidating

>>370797873
I'm an artist first, but I'm in general a fast learner I guess. For example I learned my way around Blender in a day with no prior 3D experience, but I've heard people have trouble using it.

I find programming is mostly creative problem solving. You have a certain set of logical ways to handle data and show things on screen, and you must come up with ways to make it do the things you want.

>>370798686
>muh art
we're not making art we're making assets. Nobody cares what program it was made in when they're actually playing the game.

So when it comes to 3D modeling for games, do you model exclusively in quads before triangulating the entire model then importing, or do you need to do some work modeling the triangles?

Also, what's the absolute maximum number of vertices a character model should have? What should I be aiming for here?

If they did it exactly like in that tutorial, sure.

No, you can use 3D as a designers tool AND of course to author assets. Just be open to experiment in the blocking phase and don't be afraid to iterate. A strong 2D background does help inform your 3D work/design though.

Unreal doesnt require coding only logics, Unity requires only basic script writing skills

>>370800968
It is a good source tho. If you create things from scratch and know how to make performant games, you will be able to make what others cannot.

Now, if you limit yourself to a framework that gives you the work done in spite of performance and limiting the features of your game, your game will end up being another unity clone. And you can see good examples on this thread.

But well, some people doesn't want to innovate. Might not be as happy once they discover there are people that made the same thing but better.

>>370800918
You can use unity+playmaker if you just want to jump right in. Just make prototypes/game jam shit, don't try and make an opus out the gate.

>>370800994
Unreal's memory management is shit though. Your game will likely lag like crazy and you won't know what to do about it.

>>370801239
You're full of shit. There are quite a lot of 2-3 man teams who have made successful games with Unity and Game Maker, and so scant few who made their own engine.

To run on a modern operating system, you would need to learn opengl at least. After that, you would need to stop drawing 2D objects and start drawing 3D objects. Then you would have to start importing textures and models and start working on lighting. Then you would go from there. It would take several weeks of steady work at least.

>enginedevving for a visual novel
There is no reason whatsoever to make your own VN engine, Ren'Py can do pretty much anything you'd want out of a VN and is available for mobile as well. That's especially stupid if he's the writer as well since writing is where most of the work lies.

>>370801239
Retard, by enginedevving you are just recreating the exact same stuff but in a crappier, slower way.

You aren't better at making an engine than hundreds of professionals who worked on their engines for years, you should only enginedev if your game is some crazy beast that needs all the performance it can get and can afford to have a stripped down and less polished graphics engine.

>>370801720
>mixed pixel sizes
I sure hope those are placeholders

>>370801315
That's usually only when the dev has mediocre C++ coding practices. Plus you can literally tweak the engine itself if you spot a bug that causes a memory leak or something. It's not the tool, it's the user, unless the tool is poor, which it isn't. UE4 is up to a professional standard and several studios in my area even hire for it. I myself have never experienced any memory issues that weren't directly my own fault for coding like a chimp. You can take the most basic batch program and fry your memory with it if you code shittily.

>>370801437

Yes, because there are thousands of losers too.

Most of them work for AAA titles, after all they have to squeeze your cpu. And if you see not many of them being indie, that's because the indie scene is plagged with people who barely knows how to programme.

Computers are not magical machines. It depends on you whether you want to limit yourself and release an inferior game in order to not learning more complex stuff, or actually putting the time and effort to do something great.

Your idealistic (and unrealistic) preaching means nothing without some personal examples.
You just sound like a "coding enthusiast" that doesn't understand how fucking long it takes and how fucking much you have to learn to make a game even with an engine.
I don't have anything against enginedevving mind you, but if you want to complete a game in a realistic timeframe then you will have to cut corners.

The only well-rounded "indie" enginedev game I can think of right now is The Witness and that took a fucklong time to dev even with a fairly large team.

>>370802895
But i don't want to complete a game. There are literally thousands of games completed already. And this is only getting better.

I want to compete against a thousand of crap. And you can't compete with the same weapons. Why would i want to simply make my game fast if it will look and play like any other game? I'd rather try and fail that fail from the beggining.

And let me tell you, making stuff from scratch is actually simpler that learning how to use a different lib that actually imposes you a lot of feature-performance tolls.

But they literally are. One need only look at all of our fallen comrades in /v/ gamedev and /agdg/ who started enginedeving and disappeared into obscurity without ever making anything of worth.

But also, yes, a big company is obviously much more likely to make their own engines than a two man team, you moron. I'm done here unless you're going to show us your game/engine (you won't, as you have neither).

>>370803229
>But i don't want to complete a game
Enginedevs, folks.

You also seem utterly ignorant of how engines work, there's nothing in GM that dictates how your game should look and behave, like I said before the only reason why you would want to enginedev is for performance and even then your shitty amateur engine will be slower unless you are a coding wiz with plenty of experience.

If you don't even have a game then stop telling other people how to make games.

The only indie devs I respect are those who actually try knowing their limits and ship a game.

What engineautist anon is failing to realize is that to even get to a point where you're comfortable enough to make an engine, you need two MAJOR things
>An indepth knowledge of programming, like maybe C# or C++ for example
>An indepth knowledge of what an engine should have, what other engines lack, what's good about the commerical engines and their workflow, what could make your engine unique
As I see it, making smaller games in existing engines helps towards both of these goals. Nobody ever went from zero to engine, but I think engine anon knows that and he's just really really thirsty for (You)'s.

>>370803487
You are an idiot.

>>370803531
At least you admit what takes you closer to be successful.

>>370803563
>If you don't even have a game then stop telling other people how to make games.

I'm not telling other people to stop making games. I'm telling them to employ their time in actually learning how to make things from scratch if they want a higher chance of being successful. If you don't mind it, you can program in unity/GMS just as another hobby.

From this conversation i expect to kind of outcomes:
- "M-muh complete the game!" <- You got mad because you don't want to accept it. You want to think there is no relation between being free of framework chains and shipping a superior game

- "Mm that seems interesting, i want to know more" <- you come to the conclusion that computers are bound to physical laws and are willing to spend some time to know how they work and make a better game.

>>370804771

>>370803582
We would want the ability to have looping animated sequences, and Ren'Py seemed to have very awkward and limited support for animations. Also the ability to carry over save data as the game is updated seemed like it would've been terrible to try to implement in Ren'Py.

In the end, though it'd probably be easier to start making something in Ren'Py it would also end up being a lot less flexible and would require dealing with the terrible documentation it has.

Putting together a basic visual novel engine that has the capabilities that we want wouldn't be too much work for the programmer anyhow, especially compared to all the game programming junk that they've done before.

You have neither a game nor an engine and here you are thinking you understand the inner workings of game development.
Dunning-Kruger at its best.

Learning to make your own engine won't increase your chances of success in the same way learning to manufacture your own paint won't make you a better or famous painter.
It all comes down to the game, not what is behind it, and incompetent devs will make bad games in both premade engines and their own engine, it's just that the enginedevving bar is set higher so you never see all the failed enginedevs since they never had anything presentable before giving up.

I don't program generic engines anymore. I used to do that to learn. I know program the barebones from scratch depending on the game.

If I wanted to make an online, lobby based multiplayer game with gameplay like Space Station 13, what program would be the best to use?

They don't follow the law, so that means you don't have to. It's self-defense.

Especially in Western Australia. ;^)

Why are you retards using pre-made engines for your game?

Write the engine yourself you fucking babies.

It is ok on the other hand. You don't want to facilitate any advantage to your competitors. I just wish there were actual programmers to discuss here about game ideas.

>>370809410
Because Unity is the ONLY way to make a game.

The gap between assembly and other low levels but acceptable languages for gamedev is quite low. Now, the gap between scripting in GMS or doing anything in Unity and say, using c++ is big enough to justify writting your own engine.

Is there a way I can make a shooter game on an engine without having to code though? Is there an engine that I can just drag and drop assets that I make into it?

Right here.

I made a game by copying tutorial code and replacing sprites.

For some fucked up reason, getting a game object react on mouse click doesn't work in my main project but I can get it to work on new project.

Drives me fucking insane.

>>370810008
This is a falseflag. I'm not this post.

Doesn't change the fact that you guys are genuinely pathetic if you can't write your game from scratch.

Actually, most of the art in games of the golden generation, like fighting games in general, beat-em-ups, metal slug, etc. that had stunning-looking pixel art were made with similar approaches by "pixelizing" hand-drawn assets to fit the scale of the screens and not actually drawn pixel by pixel as you might call "pure" pixel art. Pure pixel art was dropped by the start of the fourth generation of vidya, so the tutorial is actually more on par with traditional methods than you think.

That's not true, people here only want to attract attention from their games. No one here is interested in actually discussing game dev.

Next time you could create a thread and avoid making any refrence about the state of the game or else you get these blog posts.

This. The only way to make proper pixel art is one rectangular 8x12 block of color at a time, on a bitmap editing program like Krita or Inkscape.

But I did that, I saved I know it will immediately know it's from pixiv from the filename and that 4chan X will instantly link to the source upon posting it (because of the filename)

Literally haven't touched it since like 2015. It's hard to continue coding.

Does anyone know when Greenlight shuts down?

I'm getting kinda worried I wont be able to get this thing on steam anymore. Establishing a business at this point is way too expensive, but I heard this is one future requirement.

I am currently polishing a couple of things for a trailer, but I also don't really know what to put on the greenlight page to grab peoples attention.

Also I don't have a company name

you can suggest one if you like anon

wasnt that only brought in with AWDS and DoR, which had touchscreen support anyway? I remember it being unpleasant to use, but then again, my DS is old as fuck and its touchscreen makes crunching noises/sensations sometimes.

Also AWBW is all mouse-driven, afaik.

the middleground between "computers subscribe to physics" and "functional GUI-driven application" is incredibly wide

t. did electrical enginering for a bit

low level computing is actually trivially easy compared to, say, learning ASM. It's interesting stuff and could potentially help you design higher-level applications, but more in the grand design sense of having clean logic and such rather than in the actual coding efficiency/efficacy sense

I think this looks pretty cool, what's wrong with 2D pixel art? It's what I think I need to start getting more of a handle on
>>370784225
I'm an artist, about all I can really do right now is concept art. My concepts are about finished, but I don't want to do them since I'd really like to practice first. Or, if that sounds bad, I'd go right into the concepts, but I have no real footing on how to 'begin' anything in game design.
I want to aim for platformers, or sorta weird single-screen novelty games, I don't want to get too complicated. I probably will use Game Maker Studio. Is there some recommended crash course or run down of basics? Everyone says to just start, but I see the default screen of the studio and my mind just freezes every time.
