The basics of vim are pretty easy t b h. When you start getting into commands and vundle n' shit the possibilities become endless which gets pretty crazy.

Personally I like pretty much anything by jetbrains, they make pretty good shit.

Is it viable to use RPG Maker if I just want to focus on the Sprite movement parts as an investigation game and make the "RPG" section into interrogations style?

You are aware that, you know, games are getting made, and they pretty much always have artists on their team, right?

>>385182460
>RPGMaker
Please, anything but that. You know why it's so easy to tell that a game is made in it? They're all the fucking same, it's an extremely restrictive engine.

If you must use an engine and if you're doing 2D, check out Godot. Godot 3's GDNative will fix all of the performance problems of using GDScript (TotallyNotPython). Unity isn't very well suited for 2D.

I want to get back to devving, but I just don't know what to make. All of my ideas amount to little more than 'its like X but with Y', and that makes it hard for me to really commit to anything.

Guess I'll just keep drawfagging until I come up with a fun concept.

Anon, if you really think that chances are you're mediocre talent.

Slowly. It's an otome game so I'm trying to write the script before I get in-depth with the coding and art and everything. The problem is that I can't decide if I should write the main plot or the boys' subplots first.

>>385182673

Nice recommendation I'll give it a shot

making a pixel shit game with my bro because neither of us give two shits about art or grafix

it has a killer soundtrack made in Famitracker, bonus stages + collectibles (sorta like sonic games with emeralds), a secret stage, sound test, boss rush, multiple difficulties, cheat codes

the one thing we're struggling with is color blind mode...color is a main game mechanic and we can't think of ways to not use it

hopefully going to release it in October with or without color blind mode

All i do for developing games is come up with an interesting sounding name for a game, come up with a story for it, and wrap it around some simple gameplay.

Anybody want to make a team project here and now?

I'm both an ideas guy and somewhat decent programmer

But i suck at organizing, priority decisions and other assets

Pretty good, I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks so I"ll be able to devote more time to it.

Not good. I haven't started, have no ideas, no real programming knowledge, no artistic skills, no musical skills.

>>385183391
Nice animations!
I would seriously suggest you stop caring about spoiling people and just post as much as you have. For your own good, really, the more eyes on something you have the more feedback you can get. Most people on /v/ don't check game dev threads, I can promise you there will be a ton of people that didn't see any of it once you're thinking of releasing it.

What's the best language to make a game in /v/?

C++? Java? Python?

>>385183391
Neat? What's the plot of your game? I'm very interested

>>385183964
C/C++ are industry standard because of efficiency, they're about as "close to the machine" as you can get while still having maintainable code.

Python? No. Python should never be used in such performance-critical areas like video games.

>>385184037
It's easier to pick up again if you have a goal in mind. Flipping through CS books is boring as shit, just start making cool shit and you'll have sufficient motivation.

Your art could really use some dithering techniques for shading and texture.

>>385184326
It really depends on the complexity of your game, ram is pretty fucking cheap these days. I'm no Python guru but I'm pretty sure there's gotta be some halfway decent graphics library you could make something simple with.

I actually think starting with some kind of higher level language is a great way to learn. Performance can wait until later definitely. If you get far enough into making a game that you need to worry about performance, you should have a much better idea of what you're doing so porting it to another language shouldn't be that bad.

If you can't get a job in CS in an age where everything is digitalized and CS is needed more than ever then you really fucked up, son.

>>385185382
>ram is pretty fucking cheap these days
That doesn't mean it's a signal to use more than what's necessary.

We use lots of RAM now because CPUs can handle multitasking far better than 20 years ago. If you're game developer, you're also a software developer, and that means not being an idiot with the consumer's system's resources.

>>385184037
any information you learned in school was useless anyway

go write a passion project and learn on your own.

This is why I'm glad I'm working with Ren'py.

So I am currently at a concept stage with only one model on a different computer.

A modern version of Berzerk

It's a stealth FPS with interconnected levels but mostly open with the linear trait of going from Point A to Point B to finish levels. What I am currently trying to do is think of levels that could tie into the overall gameplay and make sense for robots contracting a virus called "Berzerk" and taking over the world

>>385185745
I mean you're not wrong, but if you're just starting out learning how to program and develop games, optimizing performance shouldn't be your first concern. Learning good fundamentals is way more important, because you can actually make shit. Even if it runs poorly, you still have something to work with and then you can learn how to write better optimized code.

Trying to write well optimized code on your first try is like trying to learn to be a race car driver before you know how to operate a clutch.

Be honest, would you play Nene Quest?

Thinkinf about it right now. Have a good plot but want to get my experience by making some small simple games first. Problem is I have no fucking clue how to make any assets and only know the most basic forms of java language.
Could use some advice. Should I go to college and learn ho to make asset or should I just use use some online youtube tutorial or some shit? Got a REALLY good idea that I like for a game and I want to strive towards

>>385181530
Why SDL2 instead of SFML or whatever the correct acronym is?

>>385186386
think of an asset to make and make it

make a sprite of a stick figure. then make some trees or some shit

it's way more important to just try to make stuff than worrying about what courses to take or what books to read

Shallow but wide inheritance and STL make all the headaches C++ can bring very worthwhile in the end.
