Are there any enginedevs left or are we all dead

I'd like to make a roguelite game, I have some basic ideas for it typed out, but not a clue how to start anything.
Any anons got some ideas as to where to start?
What engine would be good to use as a complete beginner?
Unity vs Unreal? Either of those VS something else?

I think Engine being the bigger word in the logo is kinda weird, it looks like a game engine rather than a game.

Default, naming characters isn't fun or enjoyable unless you're 8 years and name everybody poop.

>>181291993
>embraces OOP

>>181291883
Either way, I like the name, keep it up!

>>181291848
Default names, because personalized names are stupid if the game has a main story in which you are the protag.

>>181291848
Anyone who prefers the latter is a badwrongfun faggot because nothing is stopping them from leaving the default names in if they don't want them changed.

I can't imagine how huge a bitch you'd have to be in order to be annoyed by a naming prompt. Your false equivalency is great, too. I have no control over anything that happens in a story; I have control over what happens in a game. If someone wants to make an all Black Belt party and name their characters after Fist of the North Star, more power to them because there's no reason for me to be offended by that.

How the heck do I even set realistic deadlines? I have zero idea of how long it takes to finish a game or learn a new skill.

>>181294176
Then don't.

>>181294306
But I want to.

>>181294176
Set a deadline and learn all about the pleasure of having to cancel half your game to meet it.

>>181294436
Sounds like a good motivation to procrastinate less.

>>181294176
The hardest part is that no boss is going to yell at you for failing to meet it. Future-You has no accountability with Past-You, unfortunately. And the more you practice forgiving yourself for slacking, the more you'll find it acceptable. So once you have more clear ideas of realistic deadlines, then do not disrespect your own goals and timeframes.
But for starting with no idea, just set something. If you fail the deadline, take an honest look at whether the deadline was unrealistic or if you slacked. Pick something that you think might take a week, and give yourself a week, then assess how that week went and if you failed, whether it was slack vs unrealistic.

do u guys use outline or not in pixel arts??
i feel like it looks much better without outline,
but with outline, it will have a clearer image and stand out more.

or it doesn't matter at all?

>>181294693
No outline is harder but can look better if you manage to isolate the characters from the background with good sense of colors and brightness.

>>181294693
depends a lot on the background and the contrast

>>181294693
There are other ways to make things stand out. Also god that fucking shit on the bottom left, what the fuck, erase it please. The other three look great though. The vehicle is better without outline. Not sure if it's your work but if it isn't oh well.

>>181294693
you can do half outlines

>>181294693
Really depends on your environment. Most of the time +outline is preferable though for readability. -outline works great for non-interactables/background.

>>181294176
First come up with a detailed list of tasks and throw down a rough estimate. Put your list here and we'll comment/critique it.

One thing to keep in mind is scope creep. For your first game, a finished game is more important than continually adding features or make your game 'perfect'.

Because /dpt/ is just theoryfagging and pointless wankery, the code here is actually put into practice and games tend to be the most demanding programs.

If the game is only functional in fullscreen, and windowed is basically the same thing as fullscreen, then the game is basically functional in windowed. What's the problem?

Also, it doesn't matter, plenty of games are meant to be played fullscreen.

In windowed mode, you can't click and drag the game window. And at lower resolutions, the window is automatically resizing to fit the screen. In fullscreen mode, everything is working perfectly though.
I'm trying to think of reasons why anybody would rather play in window over fullscreen. I don't know if streamers need that or not. I'm using GM2 and the camera system is fucked so it took me several days to get to this point. So I don't wanna unravel that mess if possible.

You can't possible conceive of all the niche situations that crop up that could cause someone to want to run in a window. I practically never do it myself, but every now and then something just comes up and it's convenient for whatever reason.

It's something your game should be able to manage and if you're planning on selling your game then expect people to bitch about it. If you're just making a free project then people don't have much right to complain and you can get away with pretty much anything.

I think if I use the skills I learned from making bokube I could do it, it would just need a year of dev time $5000 worth of programming code from a freelancer, and I cant of course now because I can only focus on one project and bokube isnt finished yet not to mention I have another game already planned out to make right after bokube. (I'm trying to make and finish a game every year now).

I'm honestly going to return to knight game in 2019 and will more than likely be able to pull it off after Bokube and CT3.

Finally some actual gameplay. So the idea is: the encounters are done with a cardgame, nothing new here. However the player shouldn't have to do a card match against everything, specifically weaker beings.

So there's some possibilities:
a) A simple "strife" (pic related) which consist of flipping cards from a small deck against each-other. The cards and strategies are simple. The rewards are a bit lower. If you lose the strife then an encounter happen.
b) An encounter start a proper card match in another area designed for that (still working on that). You can expect a real card game with proper mechanics and even the use of abilities. I've shown some pics of that last week I think.
c) Some npcs specifically like to strife and do '2 out of 3s' with you for example.

It's also possible to sabotage your own strife deck to have weaker cards and start encounters against weaker beings (why not).

So for now the strife works, the card library is done, I still need some tweaking on the shuffling and adding some juice to the ui. The ui is up to some redesign but at least its functional. I've added some loading screen pics even if things are loading fast enough atm that I either print-screen 0% or 100%. I know this is a long post but I thought I'd explain a bit since I've been posting mostly isometric stuff for the past weeks but from now it should be more varied.

>with injected telemetry functions

that was a pretty absurd bit of moral panic. all they did was log program entry and exit for event tracing. event tracing is something the dev needs to set up for it to do anything. nothing is being sent to microsoft, the logged events are something you might receive if you set up a telemetry system for your users and by default they do nothing at all. it's completely innocuous and they removed it anyway because insane people on reddit were comparing it to literally being raped.

please don't base your development choices on the opinions of insane people.
