/agdg/ - Amateur Game Developing General

2nd for feminine penis

No drama okay? Lets just ignore what happened in the past, water under the bridge, okay? :3

After carefully judging the situation over the years, for a successful AGDG collab, it would have to be something like this:

One mega powerhouse programmer (or Unity/Game Maker wizard) who will do EVERYTHING. As part of this classification, he has already finished/released one serious game.

Any amount of music fags.

And a game that would allow for all sorts of shitty art to piled in and it wouldn't even matter that it's piecemeal. The programmer/engine-wizard would have to handle the UI/connecting assets on his own.

AGDG would toss random shit at the project and it would mostly all get put in no matter how shitty.

No that's how you fail.

Can I create the designs of the collab game?
Here what I have in ind

>>136013430
> 4 really good programmers
Nope. They'll get in each other's way. Without a solid leader and some strong motivation (read: money), that wouldn't work at all.

Yo guys, I'm making a scifi game and I want to groups all be named after their own theme. I'll explain this with Dragon Ball terms.

In Dragon Ball, all children of King Piccolo are named after instruments. In Dragon Ball Z, all Saiyans are named after vegetables (Kakarot = Carrot; Raditz = Radish). There's tons of others.

Anyway, I was wondering what were some groups of things I can use. I thought about colors (which DB uses for the Red Ribbon Army). For example, in my game, the names of this particular group will all be named after a color.

Color -> Name

Red -> Reddo
Blue -> Buru
Green -> Gareen

Think of a group of similar objects other than food, instruments, vegetables, and colors and turn some of the objects from that group into names.

What makes you think wearing cute clothes while programming alone is deviancy?

>>136012714
what happened to rotate after he got bullied for his fuckboy tumblr whoring?

>>136013240
Making risky jokes is bad when you're targeting a minority or it's somehow "offensive" to a vulnerable group in general. Politics are usually fine. I think tumblr likes trump memes as much or more than 4chan, for instance.

>>136017224
Cuz ur a fag, homo

>>136017514
and?
trying to insult me won't make you a better programmer

>>136017370
Oh yeah, and the reddit audience will eat it up. Contrary to what people here believe, a lot of reddit is just a pale, less concentrated version of 4chan rather than a pale, less concentrated version of tumblr. The few times I've used the site it's been striking how many 4chan memes they use. They also tend to politically agree with /pol/, except they're a bit less extreme and mostly unironic.

>>136017884
And just like they conflate 4chan with /b/, you conflate the default subs with all of reddit. It's fitting somehow.

>>136017783
Wrong again, fuckboi

>>136018064
come on
pls
it's proven science

>>136018010
I don't know man I mostly go there for niche fetishes. Most my exposure to reddit that does not somehow involve jacking off is simply reading a few threads in the front page out of curiosity.

>>136016045
Changing the words is lame, use the real ones. But click some of them at random to find other words that don't end in -ite or -ith, like "Phenocryst", "Ultrabasic", "Pyroxene" etc

Should I jump back into refreshing myself on Unity since I've been out of the saddle for a while or pick up Lumberyard?

would you play a game where the nephew of Van Helsing's great great grand son hunting down Dracula and his cronies in 80's Miami?

Think castlevania mixed with hotline miami.

>>136016045
What a fascinating solution. I often wonder how big voxel terrains like those in Just Cause 3 work - transvoxel isn't a terrible algorithm but it can handle very few steps down in LOD before features begin to merge and vanish.

I've been out of the gamedev loop for a few years now, after life happening and just kinda losing interest. However, I just tried that flaming pile of crap Salt & Sanctuary and man the idea of it was my dream game, but it does everything so wrong and so badly that its inspired me to get back into things and start up a real project. What's my best bet if I'm comfortable with c# and xna? Monogame? That's literally xna isn't it? And unity can handle c# scripts can't it? Or is unity still no good for 2d?

Thinking the white might provide too much contrast. Amplitude of the waves on the waterfall edges might be a bit much too, but whatever. Got most of the effects I wanted, just needs tuning.

River edges look good, but I need to add some effects around the stone island and come up with a good way to handle the corners.

Trying to speed things up and figure out what I want for the locations in my daydream RPG. I figure since it's an isometric view, people will be looking at a LOT of fuckin grass, so what do you do first? Make the grass fun to look at. Anyone who's played older games probably gets some satisfaction when they see different colors, it can make you think you're making progress, at least that's how I feel. I've had an idea for the architecture of each country for a while, but now that this very basic step is out of the way, I can figure out how to color everything else to have an appropriate palette.

The average "gamer" won't be able to fully appreciate the following, but they'll certainly gain benefits from them and enjoy your game more than the average:
>Polish/Nuance
>Direction
>Creativity/Uniqueness/Originality
>Good Execution
And therefore, they are all aspects you should strive for if you want to make a magnum opus.

Agree/Disagree?

>>136025124
Give me one scientific study that says it isn't. You can't easily quantify talent because of the vast amount of variables that play into it, you'll never find a study proving or disproving what you said. I agree with you partially though, talent is only good alongside work.

I'm not even that anon, but its debatable whether theres evidence of inherited genetic advantage towards logic and reason or whether a logical "talent" is simply molded by the environment and activities during development and childhood. Maybe a kid just played with lego's a lot, maybe a kid looked at art books a lot as a kid. Neither of those are talents but you could definitely attach them to ambiently improving basic skills related to engineering and art respectively.

Whenever I here someone say "I'm just not good at writing" I can pretty much guarantee they don't read a lot.

This shit got me thinking. You guys know those cross shaped poles that technic legos have? I could always tell their length just by looking at them but my friends would compare them to the templates on the instructions to figure out which they were.

Though this probably has nothing to do with my programming skills or talent if there is any but maybe it has something to do with my ability of perceiving 3d space?

I do remember that math was always effortless to me even back in elementary school and once I got to studying programming I progressed so fast that I'd help my fellow students in class because I was so fucking bored.

>Art
>Writing
>Math
>Science
>Programming
>Language
>Stortelling
>ect

When all of those are man made constructs. You can't have a natural talent for football is football as a game is something created by man.

I guess you could have a natural talent for competition which makes football an ideal format for that to be a strength. Theres very little way to tell whether thats genetic, or a parental/role model trait thats learned though. I'm done trying to convince anon though, you can choose whatever ideals to live by.

I choose to believe that you can change nearly anything about yourself to accomplish your goals, including the environment that influences you.

I also choose to believe that you are responsible for your own state of mind, including depression, passion, addictive behavior, aggression, and obsession.

I also choose to believe that living for the sake of your own personal drive, and being proud of your achievements, is the highest form of happiness and moral health.

With the concept of "PONG with guns" being very simple, how would I add meat on the bone? I understand I won't turn this game into the next e-sport but I'd just want it to be fun enough for people to play it more than once before uninstalling.

My ideas so far are these game modes:
-Regular pong with guns (one kind of gun only, e-sport style rules to ensure fairness)
-Regular with skeletons running around the arena, shooting and killing them gives you new guns and powerups that add effects to the ball
-Dungeon mode: You spend 10 seconds between each round in a dungeon to go kill as many skeletons as you can for powerups that make your shotgun stronger and better during the next round (a little like Smash Run on the 3ds version of Smash). The guns would become crazy after a couple of rounds.
-Balancing board: The arena tilts depending on who has the ball on his side the longest (encourages faster play, get rid of it quick).
-Soul Bomb: The ball is a ticking timebomb, turning the game into a hot potato style pong, keep the ball on the other side (also, killing skeletons that are running around adds souls to the ball making it explode earlier)
-Different stage shapes (more vertical one with platforms, very wide one).

Also, since I have a working fps with enemies, I might as well add a "rape as many skeletons as you can" mode with waves and stuff. It wouldn't be too hard to code.

>>136038005
I like it

>>136038005
If you're going to create a game as simple as pong with guns, you're competing against the entire mobile market. Your best bet is to try and make something deep out of it.

Someone suggested on the gamedev thread on /v/ to add unlockables, which adds a lot of motivation to keep playing in many people.

I'm not sure how I'd fit an rpg element in there though. Maybe the dungeon mode I mentioned could be made to be both a fast-paced multiplayer match AND a more permanent, slower rpg.

Having cosmetic unlocks wouldn't be too time consuming to do. I know I wanted to have a "Death's gaze" weapon which would be a machine gun, of machine guns (so a bunch of barrels rotating, who each have a bunch of tiny rotating barrels). It'd be the very last unlock of course. You could just destroy absolutely everything with it.

>>136038469
I guess you're right.

>>136039472

>>136039854

>>136039606
Full time job will leave you too drained to finish your game in any sort of sane time frame.

Part time job will probably ensure you're too poor to properly live, and your game almost certainly won't make you enough money (odds of winning the gamedev lotto are low, even if your game is good).

I do it by doing freelance work two days a week... but good luck scoring a gig like that that can support you.

ALRIGHT YOU QUEBECOIS FUCK, TIME FOR ROUND TWO OF SUGGESTIONS

A sort of HORSE mode where you take turns and have to shoot the ball into a target or something in less shots than the other player

Everytime the ball is hit, it splits in 2, until it reaches the Xth generation. Whoever has the least amount of the balls in their goal wins, with larger balls being worth more.

Something like hot potato, maybe skeletons attack you while the ball is in your area, although this would be better with something like 4 players. Actually, it wouldn't be too hard to make this into a 4 player thing, but that's really enlarging the scope, so you probably shouldn't do that.

Cosmetics is a must like you mentioned, for guns and maybe the player too. You could even let players have little items or decals on their side of the arena

SHIT IDEA ZONE

Over time, parts of the floor could disappear

Cooperative modes, like having to keep the ball from touching the ground or hitting the walls while fighting some sort of boss

These ideas are dropping in quality quickly so I'll stop As always. good luck on your game and all that jazz.

Seems fairly popular so far, some 30k people have played the demo last I checked. Just have to see how it does when it's for sale, see if even a tenth of those people will want to support it.

>nobody will play
Did you see how many fucking hits he got from Demo Day? Sure, hate him for being a furry but don't make up lies, furries will play anything as long as it has porn they like.

>>136044540
>Furries
>Playing it
LOL, they only like it for the porn which they put on e621.net you ignorant idiot. It's too much of a challenge for too little of a payoff for them.

Also, again, I don't consider people who have shallow taste to be anyone but "nobody" because I don't look at videogames as a business. If you want to make a shallow game, go to the mobile market.

>>136044512
Like it if you want, the more you play games the less you will.

>>136044619
Project M had over 100k downloads but not over 100k people playing it. I can garauntee you the majority of people who were interested enough to download it probably found it to be too hard.

>>136044202
Are you dumb? He's smart to make a game. If you can make game and make porn, much less make furry porn game, you've basically Made It by default.

>Also, fun is an emotion, something you can manipulate.
Fun is just a buzzword

>>136044707
It's easy to learn how to make a game if you have the time to invest, what's difficult is to not be creatively bankrupt IE being a furry porn artist and making a shitty la-mulana clone.

>>136044728
Yeah sure point is "fun" is different for every person and the more shallow you are the more fun you'll have with garbage.

"Fun is just a buzzword" is just a meme

>People actually defending anubis in /agdg/
>People who don't understand what makes a good game in a thread for amateur game development.
First, GDC goes to shit.
Next, Tokyo Game Show goes to shit.
Now, /adgd/ goes to shit.
What's next, game jam going to shit? Will it ever end?
I just want to play good videogames.

None of you is gonna make it.
Even Hopoo is a failure now.
Indie games are over, John Blow was right.

So the mentally ill shitposters are gone now but replaced by furries and furryposting.

Fucking /agdg/, perpetually garbage. I'm dying lol

I can't keep going, something has to change. It all keeps going so fast, and there are no signs of slowing down.

Is it worth going to the UE4 version 4.11 preview or just stick with 4.10 for now?

>>136044990
You know what pisses me off about 4chan? The fact that everything moot has done has been in vein, the furries are as prevalent as ever and we've become, for lack of a better word, accepting of them. No longer will they yiff in hell, they yiff amongst us.

what other weapon types than spread shot/rapid shot/sniper shot

>I want to make a simple game.
The market is oversaturated with that and the mobile market exists purely for this. You will not succeed if you try this.
>I want to make a porn game.
Your games CG will be dumped onto exhentai and nobody will play it, the few that do pirated it.
>I want to make a popular game.
Don't learn how to make a game, learn how to market.

Can anyone with these ideologies just leave, because they're not real game developers?

The teeth thing is a good idea, and pretty doable.

The cross bandage is working better, but I think I may need to figure out more how to make it look right with the PM style. Tried to follow Koops' bandage, but it doesn't really look right.

Do you think I should keep trying for the tarnish thing or drop it?
