the new grey background sucks

I listened to /v/ and decided that pixel art is shit so I decided to learn how to draw.

I went on /ic/ and now I'm drawing boxes and lines eight hours a day. Did I get memed?

I finally started working on my game late last night. It was just a rotating death cube and a character controller before I fell asleep, but it felt nice to start.

Just make two cameras and disable one and enable the other when you press the button.

Not really vidya dev but I'm trying to write a dynamic dialogue file for SDT. Makes my faps that much more meaningful when she can react in a more believable manner rather then just a few coughs and tears.

because browsing 4chan takes no effort

making a game requires me to learn art, programming, music, etc.

I want to but every time I start I give up after two hours and I fucking hate myself for being such a lazy easily frustrated fuckup

>>386641541
/v/ told me using C# made me a whodev so I now have to handcode pure assembly libraries into Notepad+.

Top left is Cryengine. Godot is that anoying friend with the black-rimmed Buddy Holly glasses that keeps telling you to listen to Neutral Milk Hotel then blames you for listening to it incorrectly just because you may not like it.

Someone told me to change the smoke,
so this is what i have now.

what do you think?
does it look like smoke to you??

The indie craze is on its way out. Don't count on your game being a success.

>>386645160
looks like a human furnace

>>386645196
there never was an indie craze, there were simply a few good indie games.
we've had a survival/arena/fps craze for years now

>>386641541

pretty much yea. you're not going to become a competent artist without years of work, you should focus more on what you enjoy most (design, programming, whatever) and then find artists to work with you.

So I need a way to show my MC swinging his sword and I've been thinking about using Inverse Kinematics. Gonna add constrains to polish the example up later, but am I way off base thinking this will work/look passable in the end?

>>386645773
Figure out which game engine you would use, source, unreal, unity

making games is a good way to never play games ever again, you should make games because you want to make games.

if you're making a meme game,
it's way more than passable.
the weird funky look will increase points to your game definitely.

if you're making a serious game, no, it's not good enough.
you need to restrict how much they can move/rotate too so it won't go into a weird position which no human can do.

Did some more work on this side of the map. The playable area is about 170 x 130 meters. Getting 80-100 fps on a midrange PC and 40-60 fps with the high definition shadows turned on.

>>386645009
I've used GMS extensively, nigga. It really is just a piece of shit and Yoyo Games is full of lazy assholes. If you want to make use of anything more advanced than loops in GMS, you're going to run into problems and you can't rely on Yoyo to fix their shitty program. HTML5 and phone support is still completely fucked for one.

Just use anything else and you should be fine.

I want to make a game, I really dom but with my Dyspraxia (thats DYSPRAXIA, not dyslexia), bad co-ordination and lack of skill, I can't make the game I wanted to.

It would've revolved around a plague that turned people into grotesque clown zombies too, with the big red nose being their central nervous system...

>>386645214
what does that mean?
anybody else can tell me if >>386645160 looks like smoke to you?

>>386646123
make sure you have pole targets, anon. otherwise, you will run into rotation problems down the road.

Unity or Game Maker? Only those two choices.

>>386646554
looks fine, mate.

>>386646286
It's true that -since beginning my game dev hobby- I've had almost no time to play games. That being said, I still make time (one has to take a break, from everything, *sometime*) and I enjoy it no less.

A lot of people are going to say its trash but as long as you stay far away from default assets then I think its fine

where is your game? nodev,

My feeling depend on the game, if you can make a good game in RPG Maker go for it

Compared to what? So far I've worked with RPG Maker, Unity and Unreal Engine. I like them all but I want to make a 2d top down shooter and Unity is horrible to work with, Unreal is overkill and RPG Maker is a bitch to add own modules + can't really compile the game for android

>>386648184
Why the fuck would I need to show anything? I'm just warning the nigga that spending hundreds of dollars on a broken program is a waste of fucking time and money. Just look at Yoyo's bug tracker and how lazy they are about fixing bugs, or look up all the complaints about their shitty export modules, look up how shittily arrays and enums are handled in Game Maker (hint: any game engine that can't handle more than two-dimensional arrays is a waste of your time).

Yoyo's a bunch of greedy lazy Jews, and I would not even waste a dime on any of their shit programs. Use an engine whose creators actually respect their customers instead of fucking them over.

>>386648654
Making a top down shooter's a piece of piss in GMS, definitely get it if that's what you want. It's more user friendly than Unity, especially for 2D games and isn't limited like RPG Maker. It's like a dollar anyway.

>>386648791
>What's the catch?
You get a shitload of shovelware source code

stop posting these threads every day and shilling your discord in the op
the reason why these threads are usually so good compared to /agdg/ is that they're supposed to be rare
>>386648791
the catch is that the version in the bundle is the one that isn't supported anymore

>>386648791
The modules are shit

>>386648931
Yeah but they still sell the unsupported version for fuckbillion.

>>386648867
Oh that sounds nice, I guess I'll give it a shot. It's not a bad thing to hoard developing licenses anyway.
Thanks anon

>>386648931
I'm pretty sure they returned to supporting 1.4 seeing as GMS2 is literally unusable.

Explain

pretty sure this is the last chance to get a new legal license of gm:s1, the only one you can buy outside of the bundle is 2

>>386649254
I've heard a lot of shit about GMS2 from people who actually bought it. I'm not sure about all the details, but I do know simple shit like compiling to iOS simply didn't work.

Considering YoYo has actually gone back to support GMS1.4, it doesn't seem like they're even that confident in GMS2 themselves.

GMS2 is OK but lacks the vast support base of like 1.4. It's good but considered unfinished and should be used by indies and projects and learning rather than complete games.

>>386649578
>>386649931

I love it, but your chain link spots kill the momentum. If you could make it to where you would continue moving in the direction of the grab slightly if you let go early, it would allow for more freedom.

liking vidya doesn't qualify me to make vidya. i have a low IQ.

i planned on learning C via this tutorial:

but i have a low IQ and i know it will get me nowhere.

GMS1 was intended to be supported for a full year after GMS2 was released. There's still minor bugfixes they're ironing out with GMS1, and they're returning (have returned?) variable_instance_ functions (They were added in a closed beta a few months back, and returned in GMS2)

Can you use voxel art in GMS?

>>386653140
you better don't

>>386653669

why?

>>386653140
2d and 3d voxel art are possible, yes. It looks gaudy as hell and I wouldn't recommend it, though.

>>386648187
>>386648509

Wanna make a 2d, sprite based game? It is *the* best option on the market outside of building your own engine.

And building your own engine comes with the extra cost of time. GM is great for rapid prototyping ideas.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you its limited. You can make just about any kind of 2d game you want in it, if you know what you're doing.
