Post what gamedev skills you have

I know how to make a computer do things I want it to do

I know how to make computers talk to eachother.

I code poorly I draw poorly and I make music poorly

I know this is a meme, but I genuinely have really good ideas that I know could be really successful games if I were able to hire people to make them for me.

You weren't lying about it being crappy.

I'm good at lying and enjoy acting like an idiot moron on the internet.

I think I have two (2) good narrative ideas that could fly and two (2) gameplay ideas that could fly. Although both narratives are very similar and probably work better combined into one and one of the gameplay ideas belongs nowhere near the other nor the narrative. But I can see how the proper combination of those two and some really inspired level design combined with adequate shilling on /v/ could create a niche indie hit.
I also know about spreadsheets and a tiny bit about keeping people motivated for a project.

>>384737905
>How come no one posts their ideas?
I assume most of us are saving them, and a few are too long to explain.
Mine for instance is a combination of Smash Bros gameplay with the regular fighting game playstyle. Less emphasis on platforms and combos, and more on movement options and knocking your opponent all over the place.

Reminder that fantasizing about ideas and making games gives you endorphins and lowers the drive to actually be productive.

So knock it off.

The less-important part would be proficiency within these branches and bonuses based on what your main / minor focus is:

> A hunter + hunter will be fully streamlined for hunting and gathering (best hunting stats + more mats per gather)
> A hunter + craftsmen will be able to craft things with higher stats.
> A hunter + merchant will be capable of acquiring rarer materials more easily
> A craftsmen + craftsmen will be capable of specializing in multiple branches (up to 3) while using less materials for crafting
> A craftsmen + hunter will be able to craft things with unique effects
> A craftsmen + merchant will be capable of making items that sell way above their normal worth
> A merchant + hunter will be capable of selling their wares at a (significantly) higher price during haggling
> A merchant + craftsmen would be capable of buying items or raw materials from other merchants for a (significantly) cheaper price
> A merchant + merchant essentially becomes a mayor -- townbuilding and managing multiple shops while dealing with public requests (boosts popularity when completed which means more revenue)

> There will be subsets for hunters (Sword and Shield / Glaive / Gauntlets / Spear / Lance / Axe / Bows / etc.)
> There will be specializing for craftsmen (Weapons / Armors / Clothing / Shields / Accessories / Houses / Decorations / etc.)
> There will be various types of merchants focusing on specific items (Traveling Merchant / Specialized Armory Merchant / Armor Store / Supermarket / etc.)

Stop posting in this thread if you're an idea guy with relatively little gamedev skill
You're just flooding the thread, and skillless idea guys tend to have crap ideas

There will be a medium-sized skill-pool for each type of character depending on their major / minor job focus as well as what their specialized type within that branch would be. Each combo gets their own unique skillset which makes them shine in a particular aspect. Craftsmen who specialize in something can eventually create the best items in that branch, while merchants who specialize in something make the most money selling those types of items (and garner a specific clientele that uses those items).

> A HxC would be capable of making weapons with higher base stats
> A CxH would be capable of making weapons with specialized effects (Poison / Sleep / +XX% damage towards Y)

etc.

And the characters created underneath this family name will be NPCs doing their own thing until you switch to them (without spending money / messing with stats) while also raising their proficiency (at a significantly lower rate) so it feels like you're dipping in and out of each person's perspective without abandoning them or being forced to farm them all up entirely.

All with the capability of being super cute lolis the entire time.
Also cute lewd costumes too.

Forgive me, I'm a bit experienced but still got much to learn but what do you mean by this?

>>384738527
If you think something like what OP proposed is going to come out of a thread on /v/ then you've got another thing coming. It's a shitposting thread, no two ways about it. At least I'm fully accepting my role as the "delusional idea guy" and running with it. You just have autism, my boy.

>>384739023
Different anon, here. Something that is running in an engine, versus a single screenshot from Maya or 3DS Max. You need to show that you can make things that run well.

Anyone want to make this idea into an actual project?

The core idea is to simulate a war until one side loses, rewind time back to the start, then put the player on the side that's going to lose. The scale of the war is immense, and the player's score is based on how much better the war turns out from their contribution.
The player may be one unit in thousands or even millions, but they do actually stand a chance of turning the tide of the war: Because they can review how the war played out without them. They can save their army from major defeats by preventing the battles from occuring in the first place.

I'm not just an idea guy looking for free work, I just don't fully cover the range of skills needed.

>>384739023
Art that can be rendered in realtime. The definition changes with hardware but rn we're at a couple hundred thousand polys a scene for triple A

I'm making a game right now, it's shit so far since I haven't coded at all since I failed out of uni about 2 years ago but I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's a short dungeons and dragony type game, a dungeon crawler with dice.

>>384739413
Having something to complain about is a great way to filter out the deadweights.

>>384739208
No one?
I at least want to know what people think of this idea.

I'm a pretty gud artist skilled at traditional aswell as digital art + graphics design. I'm interested in learning some 3D modelling. Doesn't seem like I can go and play around without tutorials though.

>>384739937
It doesn't sound like it would be entertaining for long. It also sounds like a pain in the ass to make.

But you don't want to hear that, you just want to be validated for your efforts coming up with an "idea" with no substance.

>>384739937
You'll have to scale it back unless you keep the graphics dorf-tier and even then that might be stretching

Plus I don't think a single guy will make a difference in a battle of a couple thousand, clairvoyance or not unless he can issue orders like in M&B

This sounds like something you could prototype in a weekend using Processing or some other low tech shit like that, why don't you give it a try?

>>384739937
Doesn't seem like a very unique game idea to me, and it sounds potentially really big and easy to get carried away with. If anything I think it might make for an interesting story, so you could turn it into a comic book

>>384737905
>How come no one posts their ideas?
Because contrary to /v/'s idea that idea guys are completely useless, good ideas are actually few and far between. If anyone has an interest in a creative career and even just one idea that they really think is decent and original then they're only doing themselves a disservice by sharing with too many people.

>>384739937
Sounds like a pain in the ass to make if you are going to have the wars be randomly generated. You could end up with wars where the player killing a couple NPCs turns the tide or games where killing thousands of NPCs won't be enough, making the difficulty be all over the place

The scale of the game is probably too big for a little indie production

>>384740712
A single guy won't make a difference in a huge battle, but in a huge war, they'll have plenty of time to make a difference.
The butterfly effect applies here, and it's even more significant since instead of acting randomly the player knows what critical events they should meddle with.

So, what's Processing?

>>384740875
How is it not unique?
Name a single similar game, and remember to say how it's similar so I don't have to spend 5 minutes trying to see how it's similar.

>>384740471
You should try it, 3D is really fun

Start with zbrush (it's easier for 2d artists to adapt) then learn a more polygon oriented suite when you're pretty good

>>384739208
The problem is this is either an impossibly big idea or a very shallow one. Also it sounds like something that could probably already be done in as a total war or mountain blade mod.

>>384737936
Almost literally Typing of the Dead

>>384739208
I'm pretty sure Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator is basically that, just without the scoring and comparison between simulated and singleplayer modes.

>>384741293
Processing is basically modified Java with its own IDE and libraries, great for beginner coders or when you need to test out ideas quickly

>>384741293
>Name a single similar game, and remember to say how it's similar so I don't have to spend 5 minutes trying to see how it's similar.
Any RTS war game with a save feature. Maybe the specific idea hasn't been done before, but isn't it essentially just an RTS where you are told ahead of time what the AI is planning to do?

>>384741250
That's why the game isn't about winning or losing so much as making a change for the better.
Winning is supposed to be a major achievement that requires very careful descisions, but even without winning you can have achievements like saving thousands of lives or delaying defeat.

>>384741315
>impossibly big
There's a reason why space games are so common; modelling 50 different spaceships is literally a thousand times easier than modelling and animated lots of characters and vehicles.
So this can be made easy to make by being a space game.

>>384737270
I'm a 1MA when it comes to 2d dev. Never managed to get gud enough at Blender to make passable 3d models (or even bad 3d models). I have extreme depression and can't dev when I'm depressed, so progress comes in bursts much like your wife.

>>384741861
So basically an RTS you're really good at and play with a handicap

>>384741313
Trying won't be good enough once I get into it. Then I become pretty obsessed in learning.

I'm a pro vector artist aswell, it's all 2D in the end though. What's the difference with zbrush and any idea if the above is of any use to make a possibly more fitting start?

>>384741861
No, because you're not the commander.
The challenge is that you have to make a huge difference while being so small; that is, be the butterfly of the Butterfly Effect.

>>384742014
Vector experience could help with NURBs modeling but no one uses that anymore. It's still useful if you use it as a basis for polygonal models though.

Zbrush it's more a digital sculpting tool rather than a modelling tool. It's more like using chisels and stuff on clay than the CAD style crap typically associated with 3D

You'll get along great with it if you're that obstinate. Im the same, went from being a zero at 3D to above average and working in the industry within a year

>>384742172
The problem with doing something like this is it will be either too easy or literally impossible. If the teams are even, whichever team the player is on will win by default because you'll be able to exploit the AI. If the teams are unbalanced, the unfavourable side will literally always lose because the winning side will have easier target picking.

>>384741898
How would you handle the enemy AI mid war? If the player stops the enemy from winning a battle in an area that is somewhat important for how the war was simulated, it would either start doing completely stupid or even impossible decisions or it would have to actually have AI and change what it does on the fly at which point you wouldn't know what would happen in the war anymore

Focusing on getting better at art for now, though I do want to make more games in the near future.

>>384742632
I've been thinking of making one too. Probably in Unity because that's what I'm familiar with and it's easy to mix 2d and 3d in it these days.

>>384742172
It really sounds like something that could make an interesting story, I'm just not seeing the gameplay potential

>>384737270
Not until I figure out character texturing in Substance to make a realistic Rat from Redwall. Without a realistic humanoid rat to mesh with a realistic environment, it'll just be an environment with the gay ass default mannequin.

>>384742812
Yeah it would be a decent story, sort of like Dune with a 100% prescient protagonist but more focused on the actual war rather than political intrigue.

I have extremely minimal experience, I've only ever ran a vendor booth at a convention. The business end of it was all fine, the artist just sucked and didn't wanna do the work despite it being his idea.
I'm also going to college for a business degree and HR degree, and took a couple classes in game development when I first started out.
Ultimately I believe I can run a business if given the chance.

I also feel I should mention I'm not the original anon you replied to.

It's a JRPG-style turn-based combat system with a focus on summoning.

The field contains 1 slot for the player and 4 slots for summoned creatures per side. The player-owned ones begin empty, but enemies can begin the battle pre-spawned.
Each turn, the player has the choice of creating an elemental "star" - an orb of magic that can be used at a later time - or casting a spell with any stars that they already have. The more stars they use, the stronger the spell.
However, they can opt to use their own health to power the spell as well, which will change the effect of the spell from a traditional spell into a summoning spell, which will create an ally in one of the spots on your side of the field.
Any summoned allies have a separate action from the player character - they can attack, use abilities, defend or be recalled, which will restore the remainder of their health to the summoner.
The battle ends when the leader on one side dies, or all monsters are defeated in the case of random battles.

As the player progresses, they collect rings which allow them to begin battles with pre-created stars. This reduces the setup time in the later part of the game and minimises the amount of free damage pre-spawned enemies can deal.

>>384743127
For a Platform Fighter/Classic Fighting game mix- Every character has a unique defensive option
>Block
Stuns for the first frame, perfect block for next 3, regular breakable block with chipping for as long as you hold it down. It takes 10 frames to end the block, during which you are vulnerable
>Magic Guard
Blocks physical attacks for first 4 frames, reflects projectiles for first 10 frames, afterwards blocks projectiles for as long as you hold it down. You can move freely while blocking.
>Dodge
Invulnerability for the first 2 frames, you get stunned if you're hit during the next 10, you take regular damage for the rest of the dodge (about 10 frames). You're moving the whole time.
>Counter
Counters any attack during first 3 frames, you get stunned but take no damage for next 6, you're completely vulnerable for 15 frames after that.
>Hardnening
Invulnerability for first frame, you're slowed down for 40 frames but take no knockback from attacks. Cooldown of 10 frames after.

>>384744168
Thought of 3 more.
>Dash
Invulnerability for 6 frames, but you're vulnerable for 12 frames after. If used on the ground you can cover a lot of distance, in the air it's shorter and you only have 1 use available to you. If you dash into the ground you keep the speed and wavedash, you can also take any action at this point, but there is still an 18 frame cooldown so you can't dash again immediately after.
>Body Block
Someone jumps out in front of you to take a hit. You're invulnerable for 5 frames, but there's a 30 frame cooldown that gets tripled if your guy gets KO'd.
>Afterimage
You leave behind a copy of yourself to take the damage for you. If it's attacked during the first 5 frames the opponent is also stunned. You're invulnerable for the first 3 frames, first 10 vs projectiles, then left wide open for the next 20 after the first 3, but you can move away in any direction you want after leaving the clone behind.

I'm working on a pokemon-like game aimed at more adult audiences similar to SMT but less casual.

I'm an amateur programmer but I understand logistics just fine and I'm a decent artist and animator. I'm also good with creative design, sound design, and special effects.

I want to polish up my programming though, I can only handle basic shit inside of other people's engines. I'll probably have to get someone more experienced than me to help with the game's equivalent of IVs and contingents but I haven't gotten to that point yet so who knows it may be easy.

I've often found that a lot of the things that seem hard when programming are the easiest things and the things that should be simple are fucking monsters to deal with.

>>384745098
It's possible I'm pretty sure, I just don't know enough about coding to make it a reality.
I want to make it clear that I know how autistic and cringy this is gonna sound but I still think it'd be fun.

>The base premise is that you're going to a convention
>Theres three modes: Staff, Troublemaker, regular attendee
>All modes start with some form of planning
>Staff has to plan the convention, they have a certain budget, not sure how I'd want to determine the amount and options available yet, but I want it to be randomized to a point
>Can purchase things like size of convention, amount of guests, a real security team, stuff like that
>Can choose the type of convention (horror, comic, furry, other stuff), and name it whatever they want
>Their main goal is to make sure the attendees have fun
>Their obstacle is the troublemaker, hence the security team and such
>After planning, you can explore the con in 3D space, interact with attendees to some extent (dialogue, photos of cosplayers, etc)
>Troublemaker causes trouble, sabotages equipment, things like that
>The core of the gameplay is stopping them while doing very minor side quests to improve attendee happiness
>Stopping them is like an investigation, you have to find clues, talk to attendees that saw something, determine what really happened
>Increased security can help you in different ways, don't know what yet

Basically the staff member is a noir PI game with some minor side quests to boost score. I'll explain more in another post.

>also similar to attendee you can choose a class i.e. what kind of trouble you want to cause such as perving on attendees, sabotaging technical equipment, stealing shit from around the con
>basically one big stealth mission

I personally think the biggest draw would be how much you can customize the experience each time, and the different styles of gameplay for each. It would take a shit ton of work though and I doubt anybody would want to put that in for a game like this, and I just don't have the skills for it.

I've never heard of it til now but I wouldn't want it to be top-down like that. I've always envisioned it being similar to Postal 2 in terms of graphics. I'd also like to poke fun at conventions and fandoms while still enjoying them. I doubt anybody would be interested in a game based around attending a con though.

Honestly? I thought that if there was any chance that that poster needed someone with that kind of experience I'd be able to help. I'm always looking for ways to contribute to the community, but I don't have enough skills in creative fields to do much else other than encourage people.

Do not lewd the cat

I write performant C++ code for satellite modems. If you want to support always-online DRM for John Muir living innawoods and your game works with upwards of 1000 ping, I'm your man.
