wish yall would stop replying to this dumbshit already, it's obvious all it's estimates are overblown given the minimum estimate is 1k or 1week like you couldnt make the bare minimum for a game within 2 hours.
although if you just click "Expertly designed and polished GOTY contender!" it estimates 2 months which is how long Whip the Vote took me so maybe it knows.

That's actually even worse.

Ok I talked about this last thread and need to come to a decision. My game has puzzles with boxes that either speed up or slow down objects when entered. Should it:
>immediately snap to new speed when it enters the box
>accelerate to new speed while in box

Please I need to decide before I start doing all the trig.

>>152988983
Accelerate only the part of the box that is in the area.

So if one corner gets sped up, the box spins

>>152993110
I was thinking of publishing my mobile games on Android Play Store for free but having to pay $25 for that kinda bugs me.

>>152993110
I just want people to enjoy it. Also, the game's based on modularity so having access to the Workshop to share content would be a huge boon. I've already sunk like two years into it that I could have been spending on something that'll make money so $100 more isn't so bad.

>>152993074
>>152993110
Is that a one-time payment per game, or?

>>152993110
I don't think someone who spends hundreds of hours making a free game would think that $100 is unacceptable, obviously they just want people to play it.

>>152993110
>building your rep and fan-base

Or just release it freemium and pump out skins every few weeks.

>>152993404
1 time per account.

Once you have it it's unlimited.

>>152993404
$100 to buy a greenlight pass or whatever it's called, then you can submit any number of games

>>152993008
There are many fun free to play games on Steam. My favorite is Floating point. I don't know how they get greenlit, tho.

>>152993404
One time payment for any number of games. The money doesn't even go to Valve, it gets donated. Basically a gate to make sure you're not publishing shovelware or making multiple accounts to spam greenlight with the same game.

Trying to make a simple platformer engine in sdl/c++, need some help brainstorming how to structure my code in a "clean" way. Well... it'll really just be an interface so I can program my game in Lua (like Love2d, but faster and more specialized).
I'm thinking about the systems involved, anyone care to help me out here?

So far I've got:
Window
Renderer: draws to the given window, for sprites, text and primitive shapes (for debugging)
Input: keeps the states of all input at the time, plus edge-triggered states (so: isHeld, wasPressed, wasReleased)
Assets: keeps a storage of all used assets, to avoid redundant memory useage
World: this is the most game-logic part of it, but I want some heavy lifting in C++ as opposed to Lua, so this will contain the game objects and systems which act on them (Movement, Collision, etc)
Timer: used to track game time and FPS, etc.

(I'll be leaving Audio and such for later)
What else do I need to account for or how can I split these up in a cleaner way?

>>152993467
>>152993484
>>152993548
Righto, thanks. I was curious if it was linked to the greenlight pass, or a separate thing of its own for free games. Kind of like to cover up hosting costs/warrant that the game stays on steam, or some such.

>>152992824
I only have gameplay, it's not even that good. I just hope I can get rid of the filthy "generic Unity project #40435" look before DD

>Basically a gate to make sure you're not publishing shovelware or making multiple accounts to spam greenlight with the same game.

Too bad it isn't working all that well.

>>152993649
If splitting something into different systems isn't obviously necessary, don't bother. Like, why do the Window and Renderer need to be separate? Why isn't "game time" part of World and why isn't FPS part of Renderer/Window? Also, having an independent asset system isn't useful. You can write generic code to be reused for asset management between the renderer and audio systems, for example, but don't try and treat all assets the same because there's zero benefit and a lot of potential drawbacks.

How much clashing styles are acceptable in a lewd game?

sprite is also layer based, paperdoll style, and could be dynamically recolored/recycled for NPCs

>>152996121
This is the most Unity thing I've ever seen.

>>152996042
Not really since it will be full of outsiders who were already making lewd games before so their will look better and be already known to people.

at least use a toon shader on the 3d part jeez

Working on an Open-Source Smash Bros engine with an easy-to-use character builder. Basically, a Smash MUGEN. It's still got a lot of problems, primarily a big lag issue I've got to figure out and a lack of AI or online play making it difficult to actually play it yet. Making good progress though.

Thanks to some helpful anons, I got the UI scaling to work with zoom. Ignore the blurring, recording video on my laptop with no video card makes everything blurry. It's pixel perfect on zooms, has
>mixels
for the UI.

Thanks you guys

I live to post progress, however small

>>152997157
It's a fully playable platform fighter. It's got all the Smash features you could imagine, and you'll be able to tweak the physics to play like whatever amalgamation of Smash rules you'd like. It's got options to individually tweak wavedashing, air dodge type, ledge trumps vs steals, etc.

There's also a buggy visual character builder that's still under construction, but is good enough to get you going. Been doing a weekly devblog if you want to see some of the other features: http://projecttussle.com/

Would something like this work better then? I have a lot of postproc effects at hand but not really any toon shaders that play nice with terrain system.

My art isn't very very good anyway so if it's washed out a bit by the postproc it's no loss.

I want to learn to make some game.

What engine is more suitable for a beginner?

How can I tell if stuttering in my game is because of my game, my shitbox computer, or both?

>>152997652
run your game on a better computer
collect detailed stats on processor usage and program performance

>>152997615
try an unlit shader or a toon shader maybe

>>152997636
If you are an ABSOLUTE beginner:

download GameMaker, do the tutorials, it'll get you started.

Move away from their dragNdrop style to the code based GML as quickly as you can. Use your time devving in GM to learn how to think about how to solve larger programming problems. Transition to learning a real language for your later games.

>>152996121
Needs to look something like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57SP1fkXwXs

>>152997468
Looks like you have all the basics there. Hoping to see more as you add to the game.

>>152997605
I was thinking of that.

Basically make the overworld the main gameplay. The idea is you WANT to avoid combat, but then have defenses you upgrade for the combat.

Then the length of the level or the number of enemies will be based on the danger / profitability of the mining location / trade route.

But is it really compelling watching your ship move and turrets shoot for a minute or two with no real interaction? I kind of don't actually think so even though to me it looks cool as shit.

I guess I could add some kind of buffing or targetting minigame but that's lame...

What kind of artist?

Me and a buddy who's an amazing programmer (i'm ok, we work well together though) are looking for an artist.

We're making space game

>>152997160
Isn't the easiest way to bring this about to have each dev make the sprites for their own character, and leave the balancing to the fighting game dev?

>>152998801
Oh cool, I've wanted an excuse to do some space related art. What language/engine?

>>152998795
it most certainly isn't

>>152998882
UE4 and C++.

We have a bunch of space assets already, so 2D art would be ideal, but we can use 3D shit too.

My buddy works almost entirely in C++ and I work almost entirely in BP, and it's a pretty great combo in UE4. Just lacking an artist.

>>152998883
well it's an easy fix anyway, i'm just trying to be lazy

>>152999030
Oh, well it sounds like a pretty interesting project, I'm not really interested in UE4 but good luck!

It doesn't look better, just different.

And google suggests that toon shading for the terrain looks like fucking garbage.

So I'll settle for some camera based postproc. I'll try a few different ones and see which makes it clash less.

Q: I am a writer and project manager who wants to help people make games. The only programming language I know well enough to do anything with is R. Is there any demand for writers/producers/business-y guys, or should I work more on programming (my art is not going to get better).

>>152999710
you should try to make a game with R
I'd like to see what that looks like
that being said, nobody knows they need a business guy, but everyone needs a business guy

Programming is usually the most desired trait among members of a game dev project. Writers aren't really important unless your making a game on an established book series and the author is calling the shots on what is and isn't ok.

Another R user! I thought about trying to make a game in R, have you ever considered it? like using plots somehow? shit would be bananas

>>152999710
1. There's basically a billion guys like you, you are an ideaguy. Nobody wants to work with you unless you have skills that contribute to the actual game, and no, "project manager" does not contribute to the actual game.

Same with writing unless you're actually very good at script writing, know how to do so in a way that takes into account game and level design, and you actually already have significant written content that isn't lore, but actual shit that'd be used in a game like dialogue, level ideas etc. Even then, this is borderline useless.

Not saying it to be a dick just the truth. Get some kind of skill

2. Your art WILL get better with time nomatter how shitty you are, that's just an excuse to not even try or practice. Wanting to do something else is fine though.
