>>376135948
Too late, I've already been learning and building an engine for about 5-6 years. I've ended up dumping everything and re-writing the engine from scratch many, many times. For me, it's worth it. I love the low-level programming, and there are some things that I want to try that simply aren't possible in Unreal or Unity.

The amount of freedom you have when you can custom-design all your data formats, all your exporters from 3d programs, for a specific purpose is fucking awesome.

There are some things that I want to try that I'm surprised no-one has done in video games before. (For example, it seems entirely possible to custom-compress pre-computed water sim data, then play it back in-engine as a way to avoid crappy video-game water)

Also, most animation systems in game engines suck balls. I'm really interested to see what's possible with an animation system that works at much higher framerates than what the game runs at, so you could effectively get sub-frame motion blur on certain objects.(Think an oscillating doorstop, or getting natural motion blur on badly-balanced helicopter blades)

If one went with a older graphics style, like what you see in Devil Daggers or something like that, there are all kinds of neat stylistic rendering tricks you could get away with that you can't if you're trying to render in native HD.

>>376137402
Working at the rate I've been going it should take about 7-9 months of work and 1-2 months of beta testing.
But it depends on how much time I can work on it every day.
I want to release it on Steam if I finish it but I don't even know how to do that.

>>376138720
Stats will be explained in-game and I might change their names depending on player feedback. But they both do entirely different things so merging them is not really possible.

>>376136060
those sprites are too small for those eyes
maybe you should take some inspiration from Starbounds spritework

>>376138774
The difference is largely meaningless, as agility is a meaningless stat to begin with. Agility merely indicates a possible range of movement, dexterity stands for control and strength stands for the amount of force you're able to allocate to specific movements.

Having something like high dexterity already comes with the prerogative that you have the agility to be dexterous, high agility with low dexterity just implies someone is absurdly clumsy, with a wide range of movement options not controlled through dexterity, but this is better represented through a modifier or trait combined with low dexterity.

>>376138774
most people will definitely be confused, since both are generally used for proffiency in smaller/longer weapons
which would force people to look up what it actually does in terms of mechanics

>>376138549

>>376139605
This is how it works in this game:
Agility makes you attack faster and increases hit evasion.
Dexterity raises your hit and crit chance.

Outside of combat, agility together with strength allows you to use shortucts like climbing rocks and so on.
Dexterity is used for picking locks, creating jewelery and generaly doing things that require precision.

>>376140503
There is no need to google anything. Those things will be nicely explained at the begining of the game. Like in every other RPG in the existence.

I've got a rough idea for a game but desu it's more in the range of AA or most likely AAA range.

Firstly I'm torn between either studying game programing and design or pharmacist.

>>376140354
Thing is, climbing is pure dexterity, and I say this as someone who has done that shit for years. You need a baseline of strength to lift your own weight and being stronger can compensate for a lack in dexterity, but your ability to contort yourself and maintain control in all sorts of awkward positions matters a damn lot more, even when simply scaling a straightforward cliff, since you'll be shifting your weight around a whole damn lot.

Agility as a whole does fuck all without having the dexterity to maintain control.

In combat, this would translate to high strength meaning hitting harder, high agility meaning flailing around like a fish on land and high dexterity meaning you actually have the fine muscle control to properly aim and control finer movements of your weapons. Speed would actually be more related to strength, as it's determined by the amount of force you can put into your movements, modified by dexterity (merely being strong could mean you lack the control to quickly return to neutral after a swing, and might put too much force into any given attack which would just throw you off balance and slow you down) and if you must give that it's own stat, just call it "speed" and be done with it, no need to complicate things with pointlessly frivolous stat names.

Yeah. That shit pisses me off too. Nothing worse than game with large number of stats where few of them can mean basicaly the same thing and not explaining them. I know DEX and AGI can be interpreted as a same thing, but thats why I'm going to explain all of this at the begining of the game.

>>376141367
While you are not wrong, these words can mean multiple things. When you say dexterity in RPG, most people think of "skill and ease in using the hands." When you say agility, people think "the power of moving quickly and easily." And then you have similiar words like finesse, nimbleness, swiftness, cunning and many other that could technicaly replace both AGI and DEX. As I said, I could replace these words in the future if people find them confusing. Finnesse instead of dex, nimbleness for agi an so on, but these are not very common words for basic stats like these and I dont like using fancy words just for the sake of looking original.

This game fucking sucks.

-performance issues
-placeholder sprites
-placeholder story
-level editor sucks
-menu sucks
-nothing is explained

Constructive feedback would be very appreciated

You have to exit the starting area from the door, and then go north and listen to some bullshit to get your first weapon

Controls:
wasd - move
left mouse - attack/interact
space - boost (will let you pass over holes in the ground, first ~0.5sec of boost you are invulnerable and will absorb hp/ep)
shift - reverse boost
esc - menu

I can't link to source code because 4chan thinks my past is spam, but you can have it if you want it.

the dash sound and the game play concept seems decent, everything else is pre-pre - alpha-tier
the blurring is trash
the loading screens which fucking LoZ doesn't even have is a disgrace
most sound effects are lackluster
the bubble people are cute but have shitty animation
the text boxes are pixel horror game-tier in style and it's sound effect

making dungeoneer game with rpg elements in the levels might be over ambitious unless you want to make a repetitive game

Very likely gonna turn it into some form of erotic game when I get the base mechanics working. Making it in Construct 2 just for fun, gonna release it for free if I ever get that far. Which is unlikely.

Thanks for the feedback.

The areas have randomized regions, which can be created with a broken in-game level editor and would be uploaded to a webserver and downloaded to other players on the load screens. This was handled with Photon originally but probably needs to be rewritten in nodejs because there's no reason to use Photon for filesharing.

This was made in XNA, do you think I should improve the assets or would I be better off scrapping it to implement the gameplay concept in Unity?

>>376151075

Looks like MMBN3D is focusing on just being a fan game. My focus is on online PvP and I am using the BN art just as placeholder art.

But yeah, so far there is almost no complexity. I've focused on just getting the main systems in place. I can already host a server and match up players together, so the hard part is done and now I can just focus on doing the easy gameplay stuff. No clue how many matches it can support though.


>>376152330

good point. I just kinda took it straight from the regular, not destroyed tileset but I'll edit it soon enough.

>>376159919
It's a clone, yeah. The main thing to set it apart is the fact that the classes your party members use affect npc interactions. For example in that dungeon you'll be able to find a person ensnared in the tree who's still alive. If you have a mage you can use their magic to burn the tree and free them for a reward.

I didn't want to do anything particularly ambitious since I'm 1 manning and my main skill is art, plus I really love Dragon Quest 3 and want to make something in that vein.

>2D turn-based RPG

If you're not looking to make a complex battle system and are going for the standard JRPG formula, RPG Maker should fit your goal nicely. I'm making pic related on it.

There are many scripts available to give you more freedom, which means you don't *need* to know how to code, but it's still rather limiting. Gifs are not supported, screen resolution is limited (which can mess up your pixel art) and other restrictive stuff.

If your game is mechanically complex (grid-based combat, strategy, combo attacks, etc) then use Game Maker or Unity.

Start here teaching yourself art and for the coding, follow the tutorials on your respective engines. You don't need a vast amount of knowledge to make a game. Also have in mind, talent is: 10% being born with it, 90% constancy.

I'm polishing my action VS puzzle game. There are porn scenes to attend several fetishes, depending on the enemies defeated.

I may not be right on the controls but it cannot hurt to try it out. If you are aiming for a starfox like feel, you should definitely take a very, very close look at how the ship controls in 64 and how it alters when you spin, get it, break a wing, everything. I am not saying it should be exactly the same, but if you are not finalized on the controls, the earlier you do finalize them the better.

I played it and beat it. It was ok for what it was and I do think you're heading in the right direction. Only had one fall through the floor and one crash after killing a dude. Animations are a little wonky and the flame sword effect is overdone but cool meaning save it for special times.

Making the game will get a lot easier and quicker as you get acquainted with the engine. You should probably think really hard about what you want to do to make your game interesting or unique for both you to develop and for people to play and start building the game around that. It'll give you direction and a reason to continue development.

>Is there any name or anything it can or will be identified with?
Nothing yet, I'm more interested in making the gameplay acceptable at the moment. I usually post webms in these threads when I have something new to show, that would be the best way to stay in tune with it for now.

It just wouldn't feel right if it didn't. You can also bait some enemies to jump into pits

thanks
i use gm:s1, okay for 2d without a big lot of things going on at once but wouldn't recommend it for 3d
if you haven't chosen your engine yet i'd say look at unity or ue, probably unity if you're not into programming yet
if you're just getting started, start with small 70's-tier games like pong or space invaders and before you sit down to anything bigger make sure you can code things you want to code (gameplay features like weapon handling, physics, enemies, etc.) without making it into complete workaround spaghetti - good planning is very important
when you get the core of the gameplay down make sure to tweak it well to make it feel just right - in case of action games movement speed, timing, animations, perhaps input buffering, etc. all matters

more or less i guess

Considering dropping gamedeving and building some software solution that can be marketed to businesses.

Games are more fun, but I could see an easy 100K-1M from building a solid piece of business software

>>376166339

did you do all this yourself? this is pretty fucking impressive.

I would adore to work on a game or even more specifically make a game out of the gameplay concepts in my head. Shame that my only talent is drawing.

>>376166591
Post drawings, come up with one that could be used in a game. If you need an idea, try creating an icon.

>>376166591
>my only talent is drawing
My only talent is programming. Let me implement your ideas if your art and ideas are good.

>>376166501
Making business software can also be fun though. Or at least intriguing.

I'd wager that vidya dev is one of the hardest and frustrating areas in programming. I mean it's ridiculously complex when you think about it.

>>376166857
Didn't mean to imply it wouldn't be fun.
And yeah, the complexity vs rate of return is pitiful.

I'll keep deving and decide later on. Solutions are always needed and waiting longer just means it'll use more up to date tech.

I want to make Pressure in Unreal but the hardest part is the assets

>>376165934
Thanks anon.

I had never animated or modeled anything in my life. Spent almost 100 hours in Blender for this piece of poop, probably didn't reach 20 hours in UE4.

>>376167581
Original character?

>>376166491
Thanks for the advice anon!
I got Unity a week ago but have no idea where to start. Only have the ideas in my head and like I said very similar to yours.
I'll do what you say and start with making those smaller games. This is actually really great advice

What's the name of your game btw?

>>376166339
What's going to set this apart from Ace Combat? The new one's coming out on PC

Is it worth buying asset packs?

I think I'm better of spending $50 buying this:

Than spending hundreds of hours learning how to make something 1/4 as good

>>376167839
C'mon anon, you're going to make dev anon lose motivation. There's enough room in this world for Ace Combat and indie Ace Combat.

Nice gif.

>>376168042
It's worth it. Make barebones environments and then pretty them up with the correct assetpacks.

I've been looking for a company or individuals that make music for my RO clone but I'm fucking stumped, every single company is just electro and rock.
what the fuck

>>376168251
Alright yeah I'll probably do that.

I asked the same questions on /agdg/ a few weeks ago and got shit on for some reason.

Working on a boss fight for my dumb Metroid game. I want to do more secondary work like adding in additional sound effects, but I really should focus on making the player take damage.

>>376152862
The shadows are ugly.

>>376168042
Anon these assets are not very good and are actually subpar. Spending 44$ for this when you can learn it and create everything yourself with more intuitive and more complex materials would be a wise decision. That or just find someone who can create assets for you - The only thing that I would buy this for is to learn how it was done, and it seems pretty simplistic, especially for 44$.

>>376168042
You'll probably regret buying them if you don't end up using them. I wouldn't advise you to get them unless you've got something already going on

>Is it worth buying asset packs?
Asset packs do have the problem that if you need something that isn't in the pack you will have a hard time making it yourself so make sure it has everything you need. You should probably check if the person who made the pack is available to commission the perfect foot stool or whatever for your game if needed or if you can find somebody else to do it. But yeah, if its all you need then certainly go for it.

Adventure game studio is by far the best

you can

>easily draw the entire scene without idiotic tiles
>quickly map the interactive parts
>add sprite based animation or whatever
>create spatial puzzles and dialogue

What more do you want?

Really disappointed by unreal 4. They gave into Nvidia gimpworks. Wish idtech 6 or frostbite 3 were available for devolpers. Infinitely better at utilizing hardware.

>>376168913
Why are they subpar?

I like this one a lot as well

I swear I saw him mention he was going to put kaiju battles into the game once he'd finished everything up. But it's been a while since then.

>>376167839
I have quite a lot of plans regarding the gameplay aspect of the game. I've always thought the over reliance of the short range standard missiles in Ace Combat made the game somewhat dull, so what I plan in the future is introduce all sorts of enemy types from long range anti air emplacements that you have to take out using long range weapons (or risk getting shot down using short range weapons) to AI that can dispense jamming countermeasures that affect your targeting for a certain time.

There is also a mechanic I plan to implement which gives particular jet roles special abilities that allow them to do things other aircraft roles wont be able to do that is determined by their characteristic (BRRT, Thrust Vectoring, etc) The framework is more or less ready for stuff like that but I'd like to keep it basic for now.
