How's your game development going, /v/?

It's going good. I'm on the look for a musician right now, but other than that I've added in the basic concepts to the unique idea I had in mind that I'm not posting so I'm not associated with you people.

I need help thinking of ideas for levels. So far, I have:
>Viking
>Bug
>Origami
>Sky Islands
>Digital
>Pirate
>Puppet
>Crypt
>Magic School
>Mecha
>Retro Space

>>372245484
Pyramid.

>>372245593
Shit, I already have that. Gonna be Iron Maiden themed.

>>372245824
Something snowy? Maybe Soviet?

>>372245924
Actually, I could probably do a snowy mountain for the antler rapier... good shit, anon.

I kinda have a level like this. It's based on the cover art of the Ayreon album with the song "River of Time" on it.

>>372246705
I'm already trying to think of making a level involving slaughtering a convention of furries. As much as I like the idea, I don't want to overdo it on the edge.

>>372246926

>>372247150

Game has a general setting with a variety of levels that can work within it.

Got no clue how to make a game, so haven't bothered, despite having an idea for one.

>>372247161
Yeah, I'm really considering having a music or disco themed level with the final boss being a cross between Miror B. And Michael Jackson. You can beat him without fighting if you beat him at DDR and there will be an achievement for doing this on the hardest difficulty

My biggest problem is making a sword that shows that it's from the music level.

>>372247150
Post art then

>>372247403
No, they're gonna be the easiest enemies to kill in the game, and I'm gonna make the player ENJOY killing them.

>>372247370

but having certain animations and calculations on damage and crits with action combat is different than making the trash you made in high school.

>>372247739
You had my curiosity

now you have my attention.

>>372247498
It's not so much of a singular setting, really. Each level ends when you get the sword from that level, and you tear open a portal to the next world using that sword. You can't go back once you step through the portal though.

Wasted the whole day on a memory leak.
Friendly reminder to use source control

>>372247794
>but having certain animations and calculations on damage and crits with action combat is different than making the trash you made in high school.
I made a 2D earthbound ripoff when I was a freshman for some game development competition and I won. Having a dice roll to calculate crits isn't rocket science.

This is a humble reminder that learning how to develop your game from scratch (that is, not relaying in game engines such as unity and GMS) will take you closer to deploying a game and beat your competitors.

Because games and game development are so popular, and you are competing against other games for attention, it is in your interest to use more performant tools that allow you to program your game without cutting any feature or depending on closed software.

If you are interested in defeating your main oponents (those using game engines, like the ones listed in the op poster), here are some tips:

- Use efficient and performant programming languages, such as c++, rust or nim.
* cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
* doc.rust-lang.org/book/
* nim-by-example.github.io

- Learn algorithms:
* coursera.org/specializations/algorithms

- Learn maths and physics:
* khanacademy.org/math
* khanacademy.org/science/physics

- Learn how to get the most out of your cpu:
* dataorienteddesign.com/dodmain/
* learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/79-the-stack-and-the-heap
* fgiesen.wordpress.com/2016/08/07/why-do-cpus-have-multiple-cache-levels/

- Learn how to do graphics:
* opengl-tutorial.org/beginners-tutorials/

Good luck.

I might include a furfag that pisses in the ball pit and jumps in. The idea is that they all have you doing one big fetch quest doing the most stupid shit like "Get me a bunch of bottles of water from that vending machine" (This is the guy that pisses in the pit after the quest) until the player snaps and kills them all.

Think about it in this way: understanding how your computer work might not secure you success, yet it gives you a huge advantage in this race.

You might say that the latest famous indie game done in unity didn't put any effort into engineering at all, but this is only illusory. You cannot see how many hours, days and months the developers behind successful unity (and GMS) games had to put to work around its inherent limitations.

You can say to yourself "I don't need anything else, i'll relay in my luck" or think wisely and increase the likelihood of being success by expending some time learning more about computers.
Everything depends on you.

I don't know a single person that reloads a bolt-action rifle overhand like that. Everyone does it underhand because it just feels more satisfying.

If you want to get into 3D, hook yourself up with:

and you will have an advantage over 90% of the indie competition.

currently learning opengl/glsl at uni, along with C++. Feel like I'm hitting a ceiling with my C++ knowledge and I'm struggling to progress. Logically I'm sound and I'd like to think my problem solving is good, it's getting the most out of the nuances in the language I'm missing.

1st year we were taught python (scripting in maya) moved to a paint program written in C. Any advice on tackling the wall of complexity which is C++ - or is just reading through the documentation the best way to go?

>>372248335

Rotate that hand 90 degrees so the palm is underneath the ball part of the handle of the bolt.

>>372246827
A vaporwave sword is a slightly outdated sword from another context that has been slowed down, painted hot pink with a chessboard pattern blade and the handguard is one of those curly wires landline phones have.

>>372248595
Best bakes.

>>372248713
That's the idea. Not sure what the sword at the end of the level would look like though.

>>372248218
so far I've seen it has the same features including mesh deformation, image slots and other things. I don't know if it has inverse kinematics yet because I haven't delved that far into it.

I'm not a developer just an artfag so I really can't answer the technical questions you want to know, but for making art this has been as good as spine for me so far

Despite the fact that the game will have you slaughtering people, I'm not using blood because I'd like to keep some semblance of kid friendliness to the game. If I could figure out how to make a pixel blur on an object in GM, I'd totally do that though.

>>372249518
Crack photoshop, use the free CS2 version or use smaller programs like GIMP

>>372249313
I grew up shooting rifles/hunting and I've never seen anyone in real life actually charge a bolt action like that, only in video games. It's extremely uncomfortable and unnatural to me.

Well hot damn, thanks for telling me about this. I was considering just buying Spine since I guy I worked with in the past used it, but this version seems to be just as good and free.

>>372249518
Don't listen to this retard >>372249632 if you're ambitious and want to make money.

If you're too poor, then you have to make do with Blender and Gimp/Krita.

Photoshop is absolutely viable if you're working with Blender, especially with Quixel, because even though Blender is free, it's still an excellent piece of software with more than enough flexibility you will need. You don't need a $1500 Maya subscription just because you're working with Photoshop.

Blender Baker.

>>372255989
One's a toy, the other's a tool.

Sculptris is a very nifty program but also very limited and trying to fit it into a studio pipeline would be cumbersome because of its lack of features. Before Zbrush introduced Dynamesh, Sculptris was used by few to sketch out quick creature concepts which were then taken into a more powerful program (Zbrush or Mudbox or even 3D Coat) and finalized there.

Now with the introduction of Dynamesh in ZBrush , sculptris isn't used anymore except by hobbyists if that.

ZBrush is a "proper" sculpting program. It can be a bit of a headache navigating through it to begin with (which sculptris isn´t), but it's power and capabilities are immense. There's a reason ZBrush and Mudbox are industry standars while Sculptris isn't.

Honestly you don't even really need Sculptris at this point. After the latest update, even Blender's sculpting is probably better.

>>372256502
probably

>>372257086
Delete that screenshot. This kid will feel accomplished that his quote got documented and spread. Even if it's a meme.

I'm currently thinking about reinventing a cutscene scripting language sort of thing for UE4. You'd basically be able to create a list of objects that are executed in order (when one finishes, the next one starts). So there'd be SwitchCameraScript, ShowTextScript, PlayAudioScript, AskYesNoScript, etc. and you combine them together to zoom in on an item, display a description, then ask the user if they want to pick it up and play a sound.

I'm not really sure if anything like this already exists or what exactly you can do in Unreal's cutscene editor (there would probably be a CutsceneScript too). But the big thing is I need interactivity in the middle of the scripts so I don't think the default cutscene stuff will work for that.

>>372256861
Alright, thanks, good to know. To be honest I don't even know what sculpting is useful for in gamedev. Is it to add details that are baked onto a normal map for a lower poly model?

>>372257494
No. It'll come out worse than it originally was knowing the worth of the people of 4chan. I don't even know why any of us are putting ourselves through development hell for something we will probably end up canceling or abandoning.

No. C++ is better than C#, it would be a wasted education considering he knows C++ (even if it's a basic understanding).

>>372257721
Probably JavaScript. It is best for details that you just are too damn lazy to accomplish in C++. Like, say you need subtitles for your game, make the strings in JavaScript and just reference them in your C++ code. I get a weird feeling when I make strings in C++ because of how most programming editors don't highlight it with a color. It makes me feel like I didn't do it right.

First of all, this isn't /agdg/, so kindly go there and stay gone if you come from that place. Second, Python is a. the prototyping language of choice of most programmers, and b. an extremely useful tool for writing plugins and scripts for most 3d packages.

Dude thank you so much i didn't know this shit could happen. Just in time before i started doing anything serious.

>>372270060
Oh yeah, forgot to describe it.

It's basically meant to be a zelda rip-off. Although it's inspired more by the first game where you're given almost no info and you can basically explore on your own.

The idea is to just survive at first, by being resourceful. You can pick up rocks from the ground and tear off branches from trees to use as makeshift weapons, and they break after some use. (basically a 2D BotW but with none of the physics stuff)

The plan is to have a story that players "discover" as they play through the game. I want to make it so you can come across towns and do quests to help people out. And eventually you end up on a more major quest to beat the big villain, it's just that you wouldn't know about that from the very start.

>>372272936
Cool, that sounds rad! Keep us updated, please.
When you say it's "meant to be a zelda rip-off," do you mean it's a parody/pastiche, or you intend to make it Zelda-like?

>>372273056
It's a zelda-like. You start as a nameless character who has to adventure. The gameplay would very likely involve zelda dungeons and enemies/bosses and everything. The differences would be in some of the play-style of it, and hopefully to have some character work/story in it.

Again this is really just an idea right now, but I plan to have it be more on the "real adventure" and slightly-serious at points side of things than any kind of send-up.

Decent, been collaborating with a designer and two coders. It's been fun building the levels my map designer sketches out in 3D and importing them into Unity to playtest and revise. Just gotta figure out what would make for a enjoyable linear story arc and if/how to implement branching paths within it.

>>372275274
It works super well. I would look into GMS1 instead of 2 since its still kinda in beta.

Look up tutorials and the rest will be history.

>>372274086
Nothing is original. But this is something that I'm hoping has a unique set-up of mechanics that makes it different enough than its sources. Kinda like how Shovel Knight "steals" gameplay aspects from different games, but it's unique because no other game does all those things at the same time.

That said, this is also meant to be more simplistic for me so that I can actually have something smaller to work towards. I'm trying not to idea-guy it into oblivion, for once. I have other bigger ideas on the back-burner anyway.

>>372275323

I had my luck IRL. I personally feel like advertising yourself online is gonna get a scattershot result. Been burned in the past for that. That, and I think the only other people here are also working solo, so they might not wanna jump ship.

Honestly, it was the high-end concept pitch I gave them all that convinced them. I think they were otherwise all looking to do solo projects, but my game had enough meat for everyone to chip in and work on. The key was also making sure everyone knew it wasn't THEM making MY GAME it was all of us completely building it together and figuring out what we wanted. I'm more than happy to compromise, and I think that attracted them to it.

The designer was a guy I'd sent a message to a few years ago after originally finding his music work online and then got to know since and found out he was a beast with RPGMaker. We both hit an impasse recently on other projects and decided to work together, using his map making skills to provide a quick and easy design tool for me to build levels off of.

The coders are two university students about to graduate that I know through friends. They can't actually commit to any work for another few weeks until their dissertations are done, but you can tell they're desperate to do something non-university related. Not too difficult to find these sorts of people to work with as long as you look around the right circles. DnD clubs are pretty good for finding people who're good at committing to the long haul.

Not the best advice, but it's how it's worked for me. Gotta put yourself out there in person more than online. Plus actually working together IRL is super productive. Less distractions.

If you're looking to attract people to collab here, I wouldn't bother showing much off unless you've got unique functions at least designed in spreadsheets if not in-engine (beyond kit stuff). I think people are mainly looking for competency. Prove you can handle your own and people will take notice.
