What happened to space jam? It seemed like it just fizzled out. Even waifu jam had a bigger impact. Did it even get any fan art?

Are we doomed to only be interested in degenerate jams like waifu/lewd from now on?

>>151778369
>its not a secret
That wasn't the point. Gogem thinks knowing obscure ass /vg/ memes are something that makes him belong, and people who don't know them should leave so he can have his secret club to himself. This is why he cloisters himself away in his chatroom. He's a prissy cunt.

Shitty VN dev here.

I need advice, what, in your opinion, is the right amount of gameplay for a VN? Enough to foster character ineraction while not bogging it down. I'm thinking Sengoku Rance as a good example with its turn based combat. Va-11 Hall-A was gameplay light, but still had it. Rewrite was extremely gameplay light but had game elements throughout.

What is a good balance?

piggie is gonna squee squee SQUEEEEAL all the way to the slammer when we're done with him.

anime lesbian visual novels anon

there's nothing to them, you just write dumb "cute" girls with mild relateable like being unsatisfied with your job, not having enough money, unsure about your career goals wrapped around some thin narrative like a road trip, a vacation, going to school, a new job, etc and meeting new people with the idea that women are just naturally closer and physically affectionate with each other.

Eventually they have unsatisfying naked cuddling maybe with one of them looking matronly and the other lightly crying while smiling or hiding her face in the other's chest while a light synth piano plays a few chords

VA-11 Hall-A has literally the perfect amount of gameplay. It keeps you involved and paying attention to the characters dialogue and aware of their personality while also giving you some amount of choice other than "Comfort Misha y/n"

Yes, I can see that. I personally was thinking something higher stakes. You are a medical student, I was thinking of forcing you to attend to the wounds of terrorists back from missions. Your interactions change if/when they are injured, and how severely (along with a bit of resource management). You are able to recruit people into the organization through the game, both generic and unique story based folks. Their death means their story arcs end there, unfinished.

Also, principally one has to never force a death, a perfect game has no deaths.

>>151779692
That sounds like less of a VN and more like a choice driven management game.

Also terrorists? I wouldn't try do something with a dark story unless you're being audacious or your writing is very good.

What your describing sounds like trauma center/team + a management game + a branching path VN. Pretty deep waters you're getting yourself into even with a small team.

I would suggest scaling it back quite a bit and make a prologue of sorts and add more later if you think you can handle it.

The plan right now is to make a MVP prologue to gauge the team's ability.

>Also terrorists? I wouldn't try do something with a dark story unless you're being audacious or your writing is very good.
It's cyberpunk, the terrorists are the good guys when compared to megacorps. I will admit I am not the best writer, but I have been doing it for years, I think I will be able to pull off some level of base competency.

Because the others are also neat.

>>151781714
Which I am sad about because I the idea was originally birthed before playing Va-11 Hall-A, but playing that changed the concept. I need to set it apart from the others.

Honest Va-11 Hall-A doesn't actually delve into terrorism or transhumanism as themes, merely sliding along the surface in order to deliver waifus. The themes they touch on are of oppressive police states and media control. Which I do like as themes, but do not want to tackle here.

It's the coffee shop that link them together, being a service clerk. I want to take it out, but also very much do not. I am unsure what to do.

People who don't understand game development at all are tired of seeing it crop up in indie games. They think most people who make games with pixel art are trying to cash in on nostalgia, when in reality a lot of independent developers use it because it is relatively easy compared to other ways of doing graphics, and when you're independent, especially if you're the full blown 1MA, you can't really afford to spend a ton of time doing graphics.

liking these graphics but you really should increase the range of that melee attack. seems like it would be really annoying to try and hit anything with that

In Game Maker, how can I attach an object to my player object? I want to give the player two small orbs floating on its site which he can shoot with, kinda like the options from Gradius or R-Type.

I know how to attach such options to a boss creature, but not how to do it on the player. On the boss creature there is a piece of code with "b_radius", which refers to the radus of the boss, but I don't know what to write there for the player object instead.

There just is function or however it's called which has b_radius (where "b" stands for "boss"), and I don't know how to replace this for the player instead.

>then why does 99% of it look like abject shit?
assuming you're referring to the more recent indie pixels and not the ones during the NES/SNES/Genesis era, I think that's because the good pixel creators during the NES/SNES/Genesis era already had a strong/professional-level foundation in art outside of pixels.

Nowadays, anyone can make their own game at a significantly lower budget, but that also means there are a lot of amateurs/crap out there... There's still great pixel artists out there though, like the guy working on the game Jack the Reaper, in pic-related.

In the end, art is still art: pixel art is just another medium of it, but skill in any art (or music) is shown through experience.

I think this boss might be a little on the hard side.

Still looking for artists

Remember to take breaks, this boss was the result of a night of intense programing after two days of rest following a bunch of failed level hooks.

Holy shit, is that placeholder art or did you make that? (Background looks kind of strange given the kind of boss you're fighting, but whatever)

Also the HUD looks super tiny in a bad way: could you make it larger so it's easier to read? Maybe even put it on the bottom of the screen so it's more easily accessible in the middle of firing. (Maybe even move it depending on if the player is on the top half or bottom half of the screen, but that could probably get distracting if not done carefully...)

The general flow of levels, and gimmicks within. For example, one of the things I tried was having a part of a level take place in between a fight between two different enemy forces, so they would be aiming at each other and not the player. It looked kinda cool but it wasn't very fun.

>>151784529
It's all placeholder. The boss is Shaft from Rondo of Blood, the background is a palllate edited one from Sonic 3's Multiplayer, and the ship is form Thunder Force 3. That said, if I can't find an artist by the time I'm done with the game (it's at around 65% content completion now) I'll release it with the placeholders for free.

As for the hud, I wanted it to detract as little screen space from the game as possible, to squeeze as many of the 480 vertical lines I get. An option to put it on the bottom would would break a lot.

>>151784598
That's the hard part about balancing a deliberately difficult game. I think I went a little overboard with some of the stuff in the old demo, and I've been meaning to take a look back at it.

Nothing wrong with making a niche thing more accessible: It could eventually lead to more interest in the genre so it's not as niche as it is.

... But anyway, anons, make the kind of game YOU want to make. Don't think about the money, but think about what would bring people/yourself the most fun.
