Where can a nigga find a programmer for his awesome game if hes an artist/designer?

Hard mode, no tig-source or reddit.

>>161222737
Stop pushing your shitpost against bokudev you obnoxious jealous nodev.

>>161222737
look for work at different studios

or if you want to find a good business partner, that's really hard, you'd probably have to know someone irl, and you'll have to prove yourself, show off your artwork and such so programmers know what they can expect from you

>>161222431
i've no tolerance for no devs.

>>161222737
aren't you already programming this though?

finding a programmer willing to work on an existing game is difficult

>>161222886
As a programmer who used to work on a project, let me tell you that the artist contacting another programmer has to be the biggest fail of an idea.
Unless your programmer specifically states that he needs help or unless you really plan to dispose of him, don't do that.

>>161223013
Its for a different project than bokube am using bokube as an example of my art though.

>>161222886
So is any work on the game done other than art? Would the hired programmer be starting from scratch?

Why are people so against working with others?

Instead of 100 people making their own shit, if some of them worked together, one completed game might come out

I know there's issues with it, disagreements about everything, but no one even tries. They just waste their time.

It also teaches valuable skills. I don't get why people are so opposed to it.

>>161223472
I tried 4 times and only succeeded once.
Either there are disagreements or someone just disappears and stops replying.

Just reposting this since it was posted right before the thread went dead last time;

Looking for programmers for a pre-existing project I'm working on.
Would need to be able to program in GameMaker ideally, but other engines are fine too.

You'd be paid a portion of Patreon profits, which right now isn't much, but once the demo's out in February, the amount would swell up pretty quickly.
For an example of how large it would likely grow, http://www.patreon.com/futurefragments is another game I'm working on/heading.

Programmer would need to be able to work on the game full time, would need to be very skilled in their respective engine enough to do a solid variety of genres within the same game
(And before anyone says no good programmers are here, two of the people working on my games right now are from this board, and they're both great at their work, so I'm asking in hopes I can find a third person).

If you have examples of your work and/or feel you'd be a fit, please email me at [email protected] - 18+ only, as the game is an adult game.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?p=904213 and http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showpost.php?p=904595&postcount=14 explain a lot more about the game and how it works, as well as showing off a ton of assets for the game.

The picture attached is from the game too.

>>161223526
Are you a programmer? Il work with you if so and not abandon you anon.

>>161223472
Direct social interaction is painful

>>161223626
Yeah but if you meet on places like this, both of you should get it.

>>161223562
I'm 1MA but I tried collab'ing on some bigger projects (although they were just Jam games).
All in all, I'd rather have another programmer that's better than me because I can more or less manage with modeling but I'm not that good at coding. What's your skillset?

>>161223157
Just saw this now, so sorry for the double post, but the programmer would be starting from scratch, yep.

>>161223016
I'm not the artist, I'm the writer/character design/game designer.

Also, yes, if we can find someone reliable/skilled, we'll likely replace him just so he isn't stretched so thin, as he has other projects of his own that have recently come to light, and I'd really prefer him to not keep trying to do more than he's able to time-wise.

>>161223472
The only agdg artist that I trust in here is theonian because he's genuinely tried to collab with people.

No offense to bokube but I somehow don't trust him.

>>161223740
Never trust twinks

On the subject of working with others -

UE4 Programmer looking to dev space game of any genre (Anything from a 3D space combat game, to a Top Down 2.5 shooter, to some kind of tablet game. Can do VR as well)

Have tons of space assets, work put into world building a space pirate universe. Story done and adaptable to any genre.

I just hate working alone. I hate not having anyone to bounce ideas off of, and being unable to get feedback until way later when I finish something.

I have a portfolio as well.

Looking for anyone really, who have at least some skill or desire to learn (I can teach UE4 BP). Don't care what. 2D artist would be amazing for HUDS/UI but no one likes UI work so I'm not counting on it.

>>161223526
>disappears
they get burned out with the project but feel bad about it so instead of maning up and saying they quit they just avoid it and ignore the issue and pretend the project doesn't exist, i exited 2 collabs this way

>tfw I've done this 3 times

>>161224071
Wow what a faggot

>>161223848
If you are a programmer and have all the assets done then whats the problem? you don't need an artfag
99% of games here fail because they are made by programmerfags who can't art so their game look like shit and gain no attention

>>161224108
Everyone does this. Also it's more humane this way, because your collab partner thinks you maybe died in a car crash and that is why you aren't responding, instead of making him depressed by saying you simply quit.

>>161224184
Well, I don't have all assets done, just tons of shit like models and stuff I'd need. I lack effects. So effects would be good, but I mean I don't expect to find effects artists here.

Anyway I just much prefer collaborating. We can get a lot more done and it saves time / is helpful to share ideas.

Just a team player is all

>>161223946
He has been making his own game for a while and I don't see why he would need a programmer right now. Sounds like he's just memeing but I'm too lazy to check the discord for confirmation.

It's just a salty nodev. Don't worry.

>>161224353
If you're an artist just find one coder friend, if you're a coder just find a drawfag.

Having a team of more than 2 people is not worth it. You'll have to make unrealistic amounts of money to finance it.

I was wondering, /agdg/, how can an indie game be a huge hit? As I see it, it's pure chance and good timing. I mean, if Tetris would come out today, it would be just one of a dozen weird indie puzzle game. Same goes for Super Meatboy.

>>161224467
I dunno about business partnering, we could evaluate our progress and how well we work together and go from there if it's successful

But mostly I just want to do it for fun and experience. If it turns into something more, great. If not, no different from making a prototype that goes nowhere except it has a better chance of success.

>>161224495
make something that isn't complete shit. just make something that people would actually enjoy playing.

Is a speed stat needed in an ARPG? I mean, it seems useless to me because you either make the player move SANIC fast at high levels or what?

>>161224652
I noticed this as well. You can easily tell if the dev is in it for the money or not:
If they are just a money whore then they will stop making games after they get rich
If they are in it for the dev then they keep going and invest most of their riches into their next project, like the braid guy for example

>>161223848
Post some of your work.

The biggest thing with collaborating with strangers on the internet is that anyone who knows better will be looking for something to suggest that you're not only capable but also hard-working, and able to see projects to completion (i.e. you have already done so). Nobody wants to invest themselves into a project only to have that investment fall to pieces in the end because of someone else.

Doesn't look like a whole lot yet, but I've got support for passive and active turrets for my Top Down 2.5 Space Combat game.

Passive turrets have a cone of fire in front of them, if an enemy is in it, they track and fire.

Active turrets track the mouse and fire

Support for modular turrets to easily add more, different types, new ships etc.

At first I wanted to keep this relatively simple since it's a side project for fun, and have it just be kind of like a single player MOBA where you can buy progressively better ships/upgrades.

But now I'm considering making it just like a single player open-worldish game since a single player MOBA is a little.. yea. I'd still have moba elements (fleets launching fighters at each other, capitals working kind of like towers)

Opinions? Changing it from a moba will drastically increase the scope tho..

Some anon yesterday asked me "but where is the game, bruh", when I showed some UI progress.

Well, now it is kinda a game. Every time you push the "END TURN" button, people in your space colony eat food. At its current state, the game is about acceptance of the existencial threat of running out of food and not being able to get any more of it.

QUESTION: What do you think - how should they get more food? I currently think of implementing "Hunting&Gathering Expedition" mechanic which will produce fruits and dinosaur meats.

Anon you're mixing genres. Space colonies are usually designed to be self sufficient (ie have on board farms) or trade whatever resources they're harvesting for food

Odd unity editor bug.

When I wrote a scriptable object that's meant to hold a list of items for my game as an Item database.

However it doesn't atually load naturally. If i edit the editor script (just by adding or deleting comments) and recompile the object list will work as intended.

Or if I attach a script (any) to the scriptable object and then switch it to none it will work fine.

However if I don't do these things its jull null and my editor window won't load it

PRUGWESS!
The system for the magic is finally made!
Here's how it work:
By pressing up and down you have the menu (magic/save/load/quit) and by pressing left and right you have the spell. Right now it doesn't have spells, mostly because I just finished the casting menu...
The first two spells will be casting music and changing the direction you shoot in.

Also note that the "attack" isn't gonna be offensive as much as it's gonna be practical (for switches and all), mostly because I want my game to have as little violence as possible. Which is why it's a sleeping poison and not a real "attack".

This being said, my hand are finnaly healed!

>>161225149
actually, the story of this game is quite fitting for hunting and gathering

They are a first expedition outside our solar system. They arrive at Alpha Centauri and it turns out that the planet is experiencing Kessler Syndrome. This pretty much breaks their colony ship into pieces and the crew is forced to land on the planet with emergency pods. The leader manages to pilot one of the colony modules safely to the ground and that becomes their headquarters - the same colony that player controls.

Lots of equipment, food and people fell all around the planet. Player can explore the wilds to find the equipment, food and people that survived the fall.

However, it turns out that the planet is teeming with life - thick forests, fruits, water. And suprisingly, it turns out that the life on that planet is almost identical to earth's. And as player explores around, it turns out that the jungle is inhabited by nasty dinosaurs.

If I manage to finish everything else, I might just code in a story about unraveling the mystery about why that planet is so similar to earth.

>>161225895
I'm probably missing what you're saying, but this doesn't help my issue.

The only serialized asset would be the item class (which is necessary for obvious reasons)

I'm just looking for the function that's being called when these actions are being taken so I can include my own code to fix this issue

>>161226023
Hmm, I do make some bucks every month selling a genre starter kit for UE4. I could expand that to patreon instead of sellify/itch and **actually update it**

>>161225587
My guess would be you have a bug in your editor script where it is expecting the scriptable object variable to be set

>>161226062
>The only serialized asset
I'm stopping you right there. tldr incoming

When you start to use either editor scripting or scriptable object, you have to understand the C++ --- Scripting serialization process that Unity does under the hood to make sure that everything works.
Imo, how variables will appear or how the editor will decide to load and show the scriptable object depends on that.

This was just a suggestion, but I can make a wild guess and say that you scriptable object doesn't appear correctly in the editor precisely because it wasn't loaded properly from the C to Script transition I talked about.

Thanks for the help, but I ended up finding the issue.

My item database class has to be it's own script, can't be in a namspace even if everything is using that namespace. Probably something to do with core code handling more than it should, so using namepsaces in editor code doesn't actually matter

hmm i wonder what causes that shaking. it's not even my spaghetti code or anything, it's just a fast moving rigidbody in an empty scene and unity is kind of shitting itself... it's not even superfast, like 1k m/s approx. oh well i guess it's a feature now

it's not, because there is no script attached to annything, all that happens is that energy is applied to a rigidbody of the ship when the game starts

>>161232143
>>161232016

indeed, it is probably floating point precision problems

perhaps you could try making the world move around the player instead. other stuff slightly spazzing shouldn't be that apparent as is player cockpit spazzing

>>161232721
and you needed a WEEK to come up with that?
I mean, that whole concept is not really groundbreaking - probably most devs are using it without knowing that it has a name (NP complete and scales with progressive difficulty).

Try to implement something above normie tier next time.

>>161232016
regardless of whether you cap the speed you're going to run into problems if you allow the player to infinitely travel away from the center of the universe (0,0,0)

maybe you can try to ghetto recenter the whole world at the player after a certain distance

the space is limited, the player won't ventrue too far since there will be nothing there, so if he decided to fly one hours on the same direction it will be because he wants to bug the game on purpose and there is no point in trying to prevent him from causing intentional bugs when it's a single player game
the speed bug is annoying though, i expected that super speed would be a problem but not such low speeds as well i mean real life jets fly at those speeds

definitely a float precision problem

it's common in space type games where you travel relatively large distances

and unity is just extra shitty like seriously

but there are ways to work around it, i don't remember which game but like the devs of star citizen or something said how they solved it

>>161232016
>>161236728

>>161236728
>large distances
But that is just it, it's not really that far from the world center, it's only about 50 000 meters, or is that considered a large distance in unity? i thought a large distance would be like a million meters

>>161236853
single-precision floats only have just under 7 digits of precision (log(2^23-1)), and 50 000 meters would be 5 000 000 centimeters (7 digits), so yes you're losing a significant amount of precision if the code isn't doing extra work to deal with precision. typical game levels are maybe just a few hundred meters in size.

The funniest thing is that I'm pretty sure that the posts he uses to start the samefagging (like the floating point post, the various Source screenshots and all the other 'stupid' posts) are actually made by other people. He then pretends that sourcefam (aka himself) is behind them, and then samefags reply after reply, thread after thread.

Yes I could.
In, fact, if I had a project that needed shiny graphics I would go for UE4, since it is very close to being open source. You are 2 registrations away from it's source code (EPIC and Github).
Also EPIC has an awesome business model for it. Pay them what, 5% of your profits AFAIK, only after you made 3k burgereuros yourself.

I think that more people should go Godot for not-so-complex project and UE4 for everything else.

as in camera rotation?

I also have right-click-to-move-quickly thing implemented

i think im making this way more difficult than it should be

im trying to make moving platforms. the platforms move as the same speed as the player to avoid sub pixel movement (low res, 1 pixel per step). is there a way to make relative movement on the platform feel good when the camera is stationary?

if you move opposite of the platform, you appear to move in place since both movement speeds cancel each other out.

i can set the platform to move at half speed but then i need to deal with sub pixel jitter which isnt cool.

am i just being stupid?

MFDs work more or less properly now. Sound guy has done amazing work which'll make them feel real nice to use.

that's literally what clonedevs are doing. tracing and taking a really long time to do it.

there's no plot in Restricted-RPS, it's a competitive multiplayer game.

WHY do you make games?
What's the point?
We're all going to die and your game will be lost in time.

>>161244745
I'm pointless myself, why should my action have a point?

>>161244712
You didn't come up with the concept of Restricted RPS so you're just like any other clone dev.

Fuck you guys I'm going to /v/ dev thread. Those shills actually post progress sometimes.

>>161244843
i dont understand, explain further.

someone last thread said I should use WebmCam to post progress
I downloaded it and downloaded ffmpeg and set the path to it and it's not working, in the output it says "Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height"
I didn't fuck with the flags, I only set the path to ffmpeg
help?

Clone MTG, it is objectively the best.

please learn what these words mean.

>>161245236
Where did I say video game clone?

>>161245193
Yeah, I do prefer the Land mechanic to "get an automatic +1 Mana each turn!", since it allows for special Land cards, Land searching and other interesting ways to play your deck.

imagine how much shovelware googum could produce a year if he spent his time devving instead of baiting retards and getting himself baited as the outcome

>"If you don't invent a new genre every time, you're a clone dev who copypastes code from the internet." - Gogem

>>161245365
Uh oh my game is not completely abstract and you can run in it, am I a clonedev? Because you can run in real life and videos exist where people are running?

new to these threads, can someone explain to me who gogem is and why he namefags?

>>161245539
He's a person. For advertisement.

>>161245539
He's a failure like all of us, except he pretends he's not.
He namfeags because he's retarded.

>>161245415
ironic

>>161245525
if you "invent" a game and it's in a genre than you fucked up.

>>161245539
not a name, website.

>>161245690
So yeah, if your game can be classified in an existing genre, it's a clone. Got it.
We should compile an archive of Gogem quotes.

>>161245019
jesus christ that seems like a god awful "game"

>>161245690
show us how many copies of your ""games"" you've sold to shut us up, Ryan

>>161244924
Get OBS, get Webm for retards. Easy progress.

>>161245019
give the guy a break, being a cuck isn't easy,

>>161245060
OK I did that, it still shows the error
it turns out both versions did produce a file, but it's corrupt
bluh?

>>161245868
