Fucking finally. Didn't expect that shit to take so long.

Is there any general for shitty choose-your-own-adventure Fighting Fantasy style games? 'Cause this looks like it's for way better stuff (i.e. actual games).

Also added a few things like making stuff scrollable.

I don't think so. I was at the start, then I left when it became [certain players] worship (also coincidentally after the elfs dropped), then I came back when I was starved of a group and needed my fix. And then I left again because it was still shit. I was Synapse, who then became Uplink or some shit. Who were you?

The process is enjoyable. Learning, failing and bugfixing is the most stressful part. And once your mechanics are completely done, the most exhausting part is creating 2d/3dcontent to fill your game with.

Is there a game to talk about game design rather than gamedev?
I want to brainstorm shit with random people on the internet, not post my slow as fuck progress, see others' slow as fuck progress and bicker about the game industry.

You can talk about game design here. This is a safe space.

Sure! Not sure where you want to start anon. Personally with my own Puzzle game I think a puzzle game that has enemies, traps, and a time-limit on every level all at once will be interesting! I hoping the player will enjoy the challenge. I'm also having to go through everything and add 3D worldspace UI since I'm adding optional VR support.

Do you have a project anon?

Is designing a story literally around "The Man Who Sold The World" and second hand Metal Gear memes too pleb tier?

cRPG. I wanted to talk about different takes, like buffing magic items while nerfing character progression.

Magic is versatile as fuck if you try to think of all the possible effects instead of just DPS, like in Worm >>127565405

I paid $500 for a vector 2d character with 6 animations (idle, jump up, jump down, walk, push and fall), a ~30 tile tileset with a bunch of transition tiles, 12 props, a full screen background, main menu and preloader

It made over $10,000 in 2013, the height of Flash games

>>127578282
Even if it's to be your first "real project", start off with simpler stuff first.

Reason being that you will probably come to hate your idea if you have to keep redoing it or if you struggle really hard on it.

Well I have made some basic stuff, platformer with moving enemies some that fall of ledges some that turn back and when I jump on them they get destroyed. I have tried a pacman kind of game where the enemies chase me and I collect pills from the ground for points etc. Really basic stuff but I'm loving this and want to make my first game that I can show my friends. Maybe not a diablo clone but would be really happy If Id manage to make 2 waves of enemies charge at me like they do in Hero siege. So maybe more of a hero siege clone?...

How come every "weird" indie game is either a platformer or a rpglite/top-down walking simulator? Why are they devoid of gameplay? Is it because the weirdness is enough to sell the game by itself?
