It seems to me like the stars abruptly end and there is just a wide stripe of different dark colour. Maybe that's just how it looks on my monitor or something. Maybe try ending stars at less uniform heights?

I think the night sky in the middle of the nowhere should look a lot more interesting than that.

>It was a tremendous learning experience. I still think it's the best idea I ever had, and the worst executed. A lot of times as a leader you think, "They don't get it; they don't see my vision."

>called me a wagecuck while I was out earning more in a day than he does in a week

Hey spoogem tell me again how being proud of earning $12 is preferable to earning thousands of dollars a month in disposable income?

Do you have any idea how great it is to be employed doing something you like and have enough money to do whatever you want?

I mean you clearly don't like games, and you'd make more money begging on the street. (Bums routinely bring home $100 a day).

Is it because you're over 30 and have literally nothing for a resume because you've been leeching off your grandparents for a decade and know nobody will ever consider hiring you?

They make enough to get a hotel room for about $50 every night and they can do whatever they want with the other $50.

Let's say a bum does this for a week and only spends $20 a day besides the $50 for a room. Maybe $20 just for food (which is a good amount). He then saves the other $30.

After a week, the bum has saved $210 dollars and gogem has made $24. Gogem actually thinks he's outsmarting the world by avoiding work and living with this grandparents but the numbers just don't add up.

Poorfag. The point is that being self sufficient is objectively better than being a pathetic leech who hides behind gamedev as if it's their profession.

I'm starting a 60K job next month.

>I'm trolling right now
Poorly.

Anyway, money being paper doesn't change the fact that you can buy things with objective value with money. So when you get a job or make money it's so you can afford things and be a not-pathetic human being. It's not about holding onto pieces of paper.

This is something gogem doesn't understand. If he wants to buy something he just guilts his grandparents into digging into their retirement funds.

>>149005931
You don't "get paid" by making $24 a week at 31. You're at a net deficit in worth. You cost your grandparents and the world more than $24 a week.

If you want to tell people you "get paid" doing something you need to go beyond pickings-coins-out-of-the-couch income levels.

>>149006052
when are you gonna work on a normal game though

>>149006063
How about actually tracking your annual expenses for that year to be sure, and maybe working for 2 years or more to have some backup funds and so you dont look like a fucker who can't keep a job if you ever try to get another job somewhere.

>>149006264

>>149006063
It depends on your abilities. Do you already have years of experience with coding, gamedev, art, etc?
1.5 years is pretty tight to make a game, unless the game is small or you're a professional programmer with years of experience.

If I were you I'd work for a few years, save as much as you can, practice gamedev on weekends, and then give yourself 3~ years to work on a game. Maybe you will finish the game in 1.5 years, but it's better not to risk running out of money.

You'd be giving up 1.5 years of guaranteed money and running the risk of ending up with little to no profit at the end of it. If this doesn't bother you, go for it.

Actually in the original snake, the majority of the body didn't move. The head moved forward one space, then the end segment of the tail was placed in the gap created by the head. The rest of the body did not move at all, but the player couldn't tell since all the segments looked the same.

>>149007284
Only do percentage if you are a poorfag with a shitty game that has no chance of being popular.

>>149004775
>>149007070
no i didn't ever try it, i only did some research and it's really difficult to get anything decent looking out of it. But i like to see other people try it and come up with a working solution.
But for now i guess it's better to go with procedural animation like wolfire if you want to do something special.

Yeah they'll either get paid by you as a commission, wage or they'll get royalties.
At least the money will go towards someone who will actually help the game. Worse things have happened like people conned by Black Shell Media.
But with royalties you have to convince the artist and musician that the game is worth working on so I hope you have a demo!

Saying it's like rotoscoping is actually a pretty big insult, because rotoscoping creates god awful uncanny valley shit. Good animation follows a different set of rules, because you can create a lot more feeling when you break the laws of physics a bit.

Hurrah! The map now properly shows rooms as hidden, explored, and cleared. For this recording I cheated and revealed the entire map. Rooms will be considered cleared as soon as you kill the last remaining enemy. You'll get a little notification telling you its cleared, and enemies won't respawn next time you enter.

How is smelling sulphur a meme? Like I said the fields smell like that sometimes due to what I assume to be fertilization.

What fucks me in the head is the sounds, the higher parts of the squealing could easily have been rabbits, but some of the louder noises sounded more like a deer in size but it wasn't the normal calls, it just kept on going and going. (Lived close to a forest and lake in my home town, so used to animal sounds, and man do deer/rabbits sound fucked).

Each dungeon is procedurally generated and different each play through, and once you exit that dungeon, you're done with it and you move on. Its more akin to Binding or Spelunky than a Souls game. Some rooms are a pain to backtrack through if enemies are still alive, so players can choose to keep enemies alive to farm money, or they can clear them out to make exploring/secret room scrubbing easier.

dont make my mistake anon

i didnt think my button system through properly at the start and so had to specify the type of button by making like 20 different ones

instead just make one obj_button object with at least parameters for type name and etc and tie it into a menu system.

that way you can then later make menus as easily as

> new_menu = menu_create(x,y,miscelanous_extra_parameters);
button_add(new_menu, type, name[language], etc)

At least on the bright side if i optimize my games to run smoothly on my box i will know that i made the most efficient code for other toasters to run

there's literally nothing of value to get staying here.

you are better off, 99% of the time, to move on to twitter/tumblr/facebook once your game doesn't look like garbage and start raising awareness

Man, Shantae has really been proving herself with her new games. So proud of her.

fucking frogposter stop posting anytime

So what do I do when my programmer constantly tells me he's gonna do this and this when I see him

but whenever I meet back with him he says some bullshit along the lines of "i didnt get any work done, but i organized and thought about a lot of things"

like clearly this project has no hope because it's been a month since he even bothered coding something.

i just dont know what to do about me being so stupid that I stuck around this long.

After years of being out of town for college I came back and got a wagecuck job in my hometown. Saw a girl from highschool walk by as I was working. I was helping an old lady to her car so I couldn't stop and chat. I just said hi as we passed and she just chuckled. That stung desu. She wasn't even a crush really - just kind of a friend I thought was cute but it still hurt.

He's probably terrible at coding and is afraid to admit it.

>>149015730
show him the svn logs for the past month

>>149015845
DESU I'm not even sure he knows how considering his solution to everything is "lemme check on the unity store for something like that"

>>149015772
What reason is there to stay here once you have a fanbase

>>149015976
Fans can't replace FAMILY.

>>149014754

you can do better than that anon
keep the progress up

HAHA. No, he has no idea how to program. You could probably learn better than him in a few days. He took one C# course in college and got a C-.

He's not a programmer. He will slow you down and stop your progress with his bullshit excuses. He's like the programmer equivalent of a nodev.

A nogrammer.

She dropped out of our high school out of social anxiety. We were friends up until then, but I never had any contacts with her outside of school, so when she was gone it was all over. Apparently she opened up again and went to college with some close friends, but I never saw her again.

My goal is to get the entire game to a presentable state and then polish it from there.

I finally started thinking about ideas, instead of playing videogames and saying I don't have any ideas, like I have for the last year.

It's shit progress, but you said now.
