>>126479868
Programmers make even worse games. That's what game designers are for.

I hope you're taking a break from game dev over Christmas

It's not healthy to feel like you should always be working.
Lazy breaks aren't the same as planned breaks.

Monty Python. Terry Gilliam used to make animations to string sketches together, by essentially cutting up stuff from magazines and doing silly stop motion stuff with it:

There's also some of his own drawings, I think.

nice!

First person to post progress + steam id gets a free game off of http://www.homph.com/steam/
it doesn't have to be new progress

looks like he's convinced himself that the rest of the game is "bonus"

i dont have the game but does it just end without resolution?

>>126479084
Thanks. Demoday I hope.

Also what are easy to write speaking gimmicks. Currently have overuse of caps, mixing caps/noncaps, lots of sssss and word repetition.

>>126480416
The Steam reviews still seem overwhelmingly good - I'm actually considering giving it a try, now. Ten dollars for an unfinished game is still too much, though, and it just isn't honest to not outright state it.

But hey, I'm kinda glad that it's not *completely* ruining the reception it gets. It seems like a kind of panic-induced, idiotic commercial move, like when you dream about having to present a project for college except you have done absolutely nothing, except here it's kinda real.

You mean it could have. What we're looking at now is fraud. Once a person has proven themselves to be dishonest there's no reason to give them a second chance.

>>126480975
The last 20% is the hardest.

It's amazing looking at indie game reviews on Steam and seeing how many are complaining about:
>performance issues in a game that has no business running poorly
>bugs
>missing basic but boring features that every game should have like a graphics menu

A few of those can tip the average to negative, and that can't be good.

Why is it that when I type AGDG into the Steam search box the ONLY game that comes up is Risk of Rain? Is there a reason other devs don't want to associate with the community or was this just a tag added by someone other than Hopoo?

What's a good way to tell the player an object is about to disappear without showing any timers such as a number counting down or some bar filling up? It can't be too distracting like having it flash either.

>>126482549
You might have tagged it yourself?
you can always just use the steamgroup list

>>126482816
It shows up for me too

Make little particles start "evaporating" from the object, gradually faster until it disappears.

>>126482834
Apparently steam tags are case sensitive.

>>126482928
Meant to reply to >>126482816

>>126482928
I also forgot to mention you can't use any space outside of the object except for a few pixels.

>>126482816
>It can't be too distracting like having it flash either.
Isn't the entire point of it to BE distracting so the player is drawn to it and realises they might need it?

Could make it fade in and out instead of flashing

>>126482816
depends on your game

show me your game

>>126482816
Lower the alpha at a steady rate.

>>126483073
Make the item shrink in size gradually until it disappears.

If that's not OK either then I'm all out of ideas.

>>126482816
have katy perry ring the players door and then tell him that he should get off of the platform he's standing on because it's about to disappear

>>126482834
I just looked it up on 3 different devices (second PC, tablet, phone) none of which are connected to my account, have steam installed or have ever logged into it before in any capacity and I found RoR using just the lowercase agdg tag on all of them.

>>126482816
if item drop, fading away, maybe some particle effects

if platforms, cracks appearing, wobbling, etc

You can actually fully remove games now, you have to go through their support page (doesn't require human contact/verification of any sort).

No but seriously :
- if you want better animation controls, turns out that you need to expand and roll your own in Unity
- if you want better collisions, turns out that you need to expand and roll your own in Unity
- if you want better editing, turns out that you need to expand and roll your own in Unity
- you spend 90% of your fucking time rewriting shit because the default UnityTM functions are either incomplete, useless or buggy.
- only to have at the end a game that won't run 100% performance because of the engine black magic

At this point, the engine itself is getting useless.

water dynamics are by definition expensive to execute, just bake streams/lakes into the map

>>126488496
more like not working on a snail pace and actually do what im good at while still making a game

>>126488691
This.
If you want water that raises dynamically based on rainfall basically just make your rivers and lakes into the map at the highest level possible, then place them under the ground and have them raise up slowly depending on the level you want.

If you think collaboration will stop a project from moving at a snails pace I got news for you. You're only as good as your weakest link. You could end up getting a programmer to make the game for you and he'll start dragging his ass until 9 months of your life have gone by and there isn't even a playable alpha ready. Then what? Now you as an artist have to consider how much of that time you spent waiting could have been spent making the game yourself.

Just to inform the general populace. The 'mobile dev' is just another character that everyone's favorite dev has just come up with. This is evident by the various samefag responses, the fact that he started repetitively posting about bull animals right before it started happening, the wild claims with no proof, the reference to /biz/, the reference to /r9k/ and all the "salty", "weak" and "beta" responses.

It's cool that you've decided to drop PP again and make a mobile game, but there are better ways to tell everyone and you don't need to make things up to validate it.

I switched from a relatively high-end Android phone to an iPhone and I never looked back. These devices are supposed to be supplementary to your laptop and desktop--they're not supposed to be general-purpose pocket computers which aren't good at anything in particular. That's the key difference in design philosophies between Android and iOS. iOS is very, very good at doing exactly what a phone is supposed to do. There's a reason wealthy people and engineers tend to use iPhones while poor people with blue collar backgrounds tend to use Android. Android is cheap and it works but it is not particularly high quality.

Enjoy having to reformat your phone every few months if you want to maintain speed and fluidity. (Or having to upgrade every six months. I'd rather keep my phone for a couple of years and then sell it for a huge return on the original price... meanwhile, Android phones are often worth close to nothing not long after launch.)

You probably also can't afford anything better, so I honestly don't judge you, but don't act like your opinion is the only opinion worth considering, bud.

I suggest learning basic programming logic like how a compiler works, what a conditional is, how a switch statement works, etc. Then, move on to important structural knowledge like different data structures (lists, trees, etc) and algorithms (node traversal). After that, learn Object Oriented principals (Polymorphism, inheritance, encapsulation..).

You can do this most easily by learning assembly, then learning C, then learning C++.

Learn Python on Codecademy to get an idea how how programming actually works, like what functions are, what variables are, how things work together, etc. And then learn an engine from the OP, please note that they wont use Python as a language, so you will learn a new language, but learning a new language will be easier when you actually know the basics, which Python will teach you. Unity and Gamemaker are pretty standard beginner choices. Follow tutorials about the engine you choose.

Pick one concept and shoehorn the other two as minigames into it.

Problem solved.

Wong.

Does one of the concepts have mecha?
Choose that one.

If none of them have mecha then none of them are worth making.

Slipstream is already a comfy driving game.
However I would like customizable vehicles especially if those vehicles are mecha.
