>>146985561
I'd pick yahtzee only because I have respect for him for making his own (shitty) games. He knows how much work this hobby is

>>146985462
I don't believe it works like that. For instance, Uematsu doesn't own the music for any of the FF games. It belongs to Square.

>>146985760
I meant more towards indie/free-lancers.
Working for the AAA is a little different and he pretty much has tenure so it's not a big deal.

>>146985956
I guess it's a matter of morality at that point. However, I spent quite a good chunk of money on it. I don't mind having him showcase his music for portfolio purposes, but I do want to keep ownership of that for exclusive use. Which is the point of getting a contract. I'll have that written up today.

>>146986172
Well it's not like anyone else is going to use it for a commercial project.
But yeah, I understand.

>>146985462
Musicians usually establish that from the start, so if someone doesn't like that idea they just go and look for another one.

>>146985760
That's because he signs a contract that transfers ownership over to Square.

>>146987443
It's no unity, it's an android game and I'm not using anything but java.

>>146987394
>on big screen devices.
Because mobile phones are dumb and don't have the proper scaled hardware vs screen resolution.
why are you killing yourself with mobile shit anyway?

>>146988987

they got a really good base, but it's just lacking too many basic features and whenever they add something new it's less flexible than the old

>>146989304

You could give the unity devs 10 years and it'll still be a mediocre engine only used because it's accessible, not because it's good.

And flooding the game industry with shit is not something great.

Not hating on Unity, but most people are just using it to make cheap game trying to make cheap money.

get the screen dimensions, scale your assets appropriately and create buffered versions of them at startup. You are probably resizing all the sprites at every frame, buffering the resized assets will solve that.

ok i guess, probably a little worse than the anon working on the 3d tactics games. i stay away from realistic proportions because its easier to pick apart and harder to animate. mostly looking to practice and if it helps someone else out along the way, even with mediocre placeholders, then all the better.

i cant see any advantages to writing every line by yourself for something basic when the code already exists elsewhere

You'll constantly be rewriting because you learn better and more efficient ways of doing things as you're making your game. I've revamped my game's movement/collision system at least 3 times since starting a year ago.

>Unity getting tilemaps, masks, and pallettes

Is this real life?

>>146993103
you actually don't need much code to implement an specific feature / mechanic other than rendering/sound-management/physics that are engine-provided for a very good reason.

>>146994663
"Roguelike" is defined by the Berlin Interpretation and anyone who disagrees is a fag.

>Arguing about roguelikes and indies at the same time
It's a continuum. At one end is the "pure" interpretation, but as the general public learns about it the definition becomes looser and looser. A term that originally pointed to a specific group of developers or games becomes more about broad aspects of those things that are imitated

It wasn't the central mechanic but Fez and Hyper Light Drifter already did that. For Fez at least you needed to learn the language or look up a guide in order to 100% it. Like the other anon said No Man's Sky is doing it as well.

Well, is okay if it's for something very tiny, like that black dot in the eyes, but for the other thinks you should use a darker tones than the color that is next to that line, you will get a more harmonic result with that.

I want good sound effects that are consistent in quality. Most indie games are all over the place with their SFX because they lift them from FreeSound.

What's a good resource for that? Paid or free.

Tbh I just started making stuff. I have some buddies that do 3d modelling, so I knew that bevel tool and extrude tool was very useful when making stuff from the ground up, so if you havent checked those out, I recommend you do that. I decided to make some rachet and clank style space shuttles just to try the tools out, and just experiment with other tools that I sumbled upon as well. Pic related was the first thing I made.

im not. you can have the best equipment there is and record all the sounds yourself and they're still not going to be consistent with your game because you stupidly think the audio source is more important than the audio processing because you haven't even done any sound design and think you know what's making other things sound bad from up on.... >>147001389

I have extensive experience with audio and I can tell that you are retarded.
Sure knowing sound design is important but you don't need to know it to keep things "consistent", if it's all terrible then it's consistently terrible.
You are simply arguing semantics, original anon was talking about consistency in quality between sounds and then you changed the subject to game-sound relationship which is barely relevant.

>>147000807 isnt inconsistent because of "quality" it's inconsistent because all the sounds were just been plopped in with zero processing and no thought to the sound design.

Don't.
Use as few colors and tones as you can, the way you're doing gives the sprite a dirty aspect.

>>147005241
No it fucking isn't. Your blue cumshot with a face thing has gradients and other colors that don't match at all, you can't just mix colors up like that. Read some color theory, and most importantly, copy color patterns similar to the ones you have in mind, that way you'll learn faster.

Not really. The only reasons I could think of where you'd do it is if someone like Devolver (or another well-known/reputable publisher) made you an offer and they're willing to help fund development, or if you just suck at marketing/promoting your game and they're capable of doing it for you.

Judging by some horror stories I've seen it seems like most people think they need a publisher when really you just need to make sure you try and get your game out there and network with the "influencers."
