I got the base geometry for my level done.
And I made a mine cart.

Now if only I knew how to texture so things don't just look like shit.

Making it in C

2D tile collision has been giving me problems, but other than that everything is working fine.

>>385467795
I have no idea what engine that is, but it may very well be a custom engine from how rough everything looks. Any engine be it Unity, Unreal, Cryengine, can make a game like that.

Do you think they need more edges to be able to smooth things out?
The environment is pretty low poly currently, so I could go back in and smooth things out/add more loops.

>>385468082
I tought about using unreal cause it's the one I feel the most confortable with, but it would make the game be really heavy on not so good computers, and tought a simpler engine might be better

>>385468359
That's not true at all, game performance depends on each game, the overhead that UE has is negligible. You could run a 2d game like that anywhere. If you don't believe me download any of their samples and play them on a toaster

Could I use some help? I want to make a 2d game using unreal, but want the game to be multilayered.
Something like castle crashers, where even being 2d, you can still move forward and backwards towards the screen. In a way where if I place a wall blocking the front part of the screen, occupying the first 3 front blocks (blocks being the areas where you can go forward and backwards towards the screen), you'll have a more linear corridor to walk. Am I talking understandably?

He's pretty good for his hobby and I'm tired of doing everything, but I'm concerned to start working with him. He'd at least be free.

I know I don't want to do super low poly, but I don't need very high poly or any strong realism for the designs I'm going to be going off of.

I guess I kinda want things smooth. Kinda like how they do Nintendo games. That weird softness they have. Not sure how exactly to achieve it at the moment though.

The issue I guess is that he's just now starting to attempt socializing and I'm afraid of him getting overly attached to it.

He's slightly younger than I am if I remember right.

The release is for 'when it's done' and I don't want him to get involved if that's the case.

his sister/my sister in law just passed away unexpectedly which adds to the confusion. I'm unsure if I'm just feeling guilty and wanting to be his friend and give him a project

Game dev here. Don't do it. Your team will make or break the game, vet everybody carefully. If you have doubts, ditch them immediately. You will be working together for the next 1 - 2 years. This is like picking a spouse.

Fair enough, probably won't concern me again.

The only real concern is how long it's going to take overall. I have real life to worry about, this is a hobby I've picked up. I know what I want to make, just not how long it will reasonably take me.

It's mostly due to guessing positioning coordinates, run the game, tiny changes, run the game, tiny changes, and so on. And if I forgot an element or need to include something than it's back to doing the same process.
Pain in the butt since it's all in code and not actual dragging around where I can easily make spacing adjustments.

Also doesn't help I'm using placeholder art so it looks moderately hideous.

Break up your task into small goals. Don't say "I'm going to work on my game today!", say "I'm going to work on my game for 20 minutes today."

>>385485243
You don't need either of those to create a game. Devs who rely solely on motivation are at risk of burning out. Lack of creativity is fine if your execution is good.

However if you're not motivated to make a game and not looking to fulfill a creative urge, why make a game at all?

>>385485780
that's a good question. I love programming and solving problems and I love playing games, so I thought I would like making games too, and I think I do like it, it's just that when I run into a problem I quickly give up and I often don't have good ideas.

I'm making a board game in Tabletop Simulator since my brother doesn't live close enough to just use cardboard and glue

I am a great artist.

my process is:
>get idea
>start developing it
>turns out I'm not a designer
>no idea where to go on and how to keep building on top of it
>end up dropping the project after weeks
>repeat for 2 years straight

I need a designer to fill the gap between my initial idea and an actual development document, I'm clearly unable to do it myself.

I don't know how to hire or find one though

>>385493398
I think the game is too dark, hard to see what is going on, it should be a bit brighter, unless it's supposed to be a dark level and the rest of the game isn't like that

>>385496512
take your idea. figure out ideas you like from games you enjoy, build using the experience of hundreds of other games that already exist.

art mimics art. no idea is original. so if you like jrpgs and turn based combat go oh okay what do i like about how they did that and how would i do it. that's all game design is, figuring out gameplay based on stuff you already like and twisting it to making your own thing out of it.

>>385496712
it doesn't work, I could write long paragraphs on why but it just doesn't

>>385496842
Then ur a fagget idea guy without any self control or ability to focus.
What else do you want here? A pity party?

>>385495568
Frankly, you can tell what the unit is at first glance since there isn't a fuckload of detail.
Simplistic but very clear - I like it

>>385496913
I want to hire a designer to fill the gap

>>385496915
The idea is for each unit to be readily available and readable just from the unit card, with some more descriptive stuff explaining it all on the back of the card.
Cards are just for reference actually, the unit themselves are just hexes. It's a tactics game. Kinda like if Battle for Wesnoth and Advance Wars had a baby.

I mean I could just do this? Give the cards some fancy borders or something.

I also think I might need to make the circles have a background to avoid clutter and potentially not being able to see the numbers that uh, well. they're supposed to be filled in with numbers of course but my numbers look a shit. I guess that would work to color the circles in based on the attack type rather than coloring the number itself like I had planned.

There's 5 different Types.
Normal
Unholy
Elemental (which divides into Water Fire Air for some differences, mainly you can't block elemental attacks without spells or passive unit abilities)
Mechanical (immune to magic spells is the only caveat here)
Holy (which is just an attack type, not a unit type)
So having the background colored in like that would work I guess. I was already going to give cards a border based on their unit type.

Here's the humans. These are the only two factions I feel like I've finished. Greenskins are, eh. I dunno if I wanna have them since I don't know if a Horde faction would work in a tactics game where you're only fielding about 6-8 units. I don't think it'd be fun.

Demons have huge mobility from flying and spells to fly over lines or destroy them. Lots of trash units or really strong units that are expensive.
Humans have a gradual buildup in power and focus on holding a strong line and then Hammer and Anvil with Cavalry flanks. And Wizard for being all magical and shit.

Then their subfactions I feel are super interesting. I'm not sure if I can make the other faction's subfactions half as interesting.
Dwarves can replace their gunners, strong ranged unit, with a repeating crossbow that is weaker but can make two attacks per turn, and another faction has gyrocopters instead of boar cavalry, but that's not quite as fun as the human subfactions get.

>>385499734

Some people in /agdg/ have been working on their game for a year or more. I've been working on my game since the start of July and it should be released on Steam by the end of next month.

The production time for a game is entirely decided by your scope. If you have little experience making games, you'll have poor ability to translate your scope into a production timeline. If that's your case, do what I did and choose a game with an extremely small scope, to the point of it being more of a fleshed out minigame.

Post your stuff, I love 3d shmup designs. I'm considering teaching myself 3d modeling with my next project so I can work on one myself one day.

I liked your minimalistic drawings better, just make cleaner lines and coloring and it's perfect.
Add at least a semi-transparent (if not opaque) background for the stats. Perhaps give a specific color for each attribute (red for attack, green for speed, etc).
As for the attack type and border - make the border a bit thinner, but color-code it with the attack type that it's tied to. OR, you could colour the drawing's background according to the attack type.
Up to you.

I can't post anything for next few weeks because i'm away from home. I'll will first try to make a simple mobile game and then try to make the 3D game. Thank for advice anon.

You can go ahead and make the 3D game first, but you'll have to compromise in terms of game mechanics. Take whatever is in your mind and distill it into the most condense form possible, with only four or five main mechanics. You'd also likely have to cut down on the amount of content.

If that doesn't sound appealing, then, yeah, I'd say to start with a small game to build up experience.

I'm stuck at naming my systems and stats for a SRPG.
Any suggestions? So far I have:
>A stat for all attack actions
>A stat for all buffs, debuffs and DoTs
>A stat for critical hits and item damage
>A stat for counter-attacks and shield points
>A stat for item and skill recovery

I could go with the basic STR, INT, DEX kind of stuff but what to call the last 2 ones?

This is mostly for gear to be meaningful. I found it easier to base it all on stats rather than creating specific bonuses.
For example some dagger you get makes counter-attacks stronger so why not just add a point to that stat.

>>385483395

>>385503941
str = damage
int = buffs/debuffs dots/magic
crit hits = crit
??? = items
dex = counter
def = shield
stam = recovery

or something like that. it doesn't matter what you call them as long as u explain to people what each does (like if you hover over the stats in the menu)

Worst comes to worst you can unparent the model from the bones if all you've done is automatically assign weights and haven't done manual weighting that you'd want to keep.

Its going ok, needs some optimization though.

girls don't do this right? honestly curious, I live in my mums basement so I've never seen a real girl

>>385506732
They do.
Theres tons of lonely guys because girls fight over few successful guys.
They're pretty crazy about it too.
They're basically a given if you make a semi-popular steam game.

Nice tumblr artstyle, bro!

even if its tumblr, it's clean, and very well animated. I'm impressed.

I know I'm just being a dick for fun

So, anyone knows about making music when all I can do is hum?
I kinda want it to sound like a Gameboy too.

Look into GB trackers its not like they are more complex than making sounds with my balls.
Ofc some basic terminology is required in order to know what you are doing so read up on that.

>>385507985
It's decent, but it's not progress. If you're using it as a displacement activity for getting something playable, then it's not healthy and it won't help.

>>385507853
it's ok anon. We are on /v/ after all.

>>385507907
listen to the Crash: Twinsanity soundtrack. Almost everything in that is some sort of voice yelling or making a noise. You could try for something like that.

I've just been playing around with yal's modding api for NTT recently. It takes plain GML for the most part and you can load the code as you edit it since it's interpreted on-the-fly as opposed to being compiled, so it's fun for prototyping.
>https://yal.cc/gamemaker-assets/#gmlive
A paid extension compatible with GMS1 and GMS2 is in the works, so anyone can use it with their stuff.

The truth is, I was working on something else, but I don't feel like making assets right now. I do Nuclear Throne modding to procrastinate since there's already a metric shitton of assets at my disposal.

Learning how to draw because I'm just going to make a shitty meme platformer in GMS after I get to a point where I can just shrink images into sprites ala the 2dwillneverdie guide.

>>385509260
Making low-res pixel art is more like painting than sketching. How big are the sprites you intend to make?

I know, I just need to learn how to actually draw a person first I think. Afterwards I'll be getting into actually learning lighting/shadows while learning to animate, then I'll just be following http://2dwillneverdie.com/tutorial/the-making-of-el-zombo/ and hoping I can make it work. 100-120ish pixels high by whatever width for the MC.

Also blogposting this eye because I'm sort of proud that it even came out looking like it did.

Well I was recently let go so I might as well put time into finishing my GDD and write some plot junk while I'm at it

I wrote an arcade ping pong in pure JS. Good thing I know trigonometry.

>>385507985
And this is why you will never finish anything. Documents are necessary if your game has a certain amount of complexity to it.

Fuck man, how do people settle on the final version of a level? I've been tweaking and remaking a single level for almost a year now, and still feel like there's a lot of unexplored territory when it comes to designing various encounters.

I just finished the unity Roll-a-Ball tutorial.
Am i a gamedev now?

working on my uni student project. It's going surprisingly well and we're on polish stage now.

Camera still behaves like ass, but we're working hard on that.

Yes, now you just need to make a zombie apocalypse survival game with crafting.

You only need to start making it. Finishing it isn't a priority

Ideas are seriously so fucking easy to have. The problem when making games is that you need so many talents, which means you need to either learn it all or somehow manage to get a group of people together to even start working on your portfolio.

>>385512797
Follow the rule of "how little do I need to add?". In order to make the kind of game/level whatever you want, how little do you need to add? Then polish it up to a good quality.

>>385513001
Just look for someone who can code then

>want to make pixel/sprite fighting game
>no idea where to start
>no idea how to start

>>385513123
I have no idea how people get ideas easily, I have a really hard time coming up with them.

>>385513296
just think about what you like in videogames

>>385511890
I've finished more games than you and I've never written a design document in my life

>>385513296
Take games you like, mash them together and see what works well together and what don't, learn.

>>385513907
if you're working by yourself this is fine, as soon as someone else is involved, it becomes necessary.

>tfw too stupid to program

I can follow tutorials fine but I have no fucking idea how they managed to figure out what they know by themselves in the first place just using the documentation.

Is this normal and am I just overthinking it?

>>385514169
assign yourself a problem with in your reach, don't read a tutorial and stick at it until you figuie it out
teach yourself to problem solve

>>385514169
It's pretty normal in the beginning, and google never stops being a primary resource.

You will eventually (if you stick with it) learn how to approach the problems using your own skills and knowledge.

I highly suggest looking into some general useful algorithms (search algorithms are pretty good to learn, spatial-algorithms).

>>385513172
lmao nobody wants to work for free

Every time I see one of these threads I ctrl+F for "Construct" and then get disappointed and leave.

Then constantly hear everyone bitching about having to take a year to learn coding or giving up.

Don't give up idiot, just use Construct 2. Babbies can use it and you can achieve the same results with zero coding.

>>385514358
many actually do

>>385514489
Don't recommend Construct to anyone who actually wants to finish and publish a game. Even MMF is better

>>385514489
name ONE good game made with Construct 2

>>385475642
>>385493480
Probably late to reply, but it's basically that.

I have no real idea how it ended up like this, it started out as a flat overhead 2D game and I thought it needed more depth.

Instead of redoing all of my artwork, I tried putting into 3D. Worked out I guess.

You're overthinking it more than likely, depending on what you're trying to accomplish.
