If i wanted to become an amateur dev, where i should start?
If i wanted to create, say, a minecraft clone, or terraria clone, or whatever (for practice), what should i start at?

how do i deal with this feel

just like make game

good music good art good designs good games
git gud some of them anyway

Those aren't starter practice games.
Pong is.

Remember: practice
Grayson Bell
Just realized WJ has been out of the OP for a few threads. Sorry about not noticing until now. itch.io/jam/wj2016
Cooper Robinson
My dev team is sleeping on the job again. How am I supposed to do all this work myself?
Unrelated, I finally got priests and shopkeepers to sell separate items, and they now properly roll for random inventories rather than just having all of the everything.
Carson Thomas
Why aren't they? And if so, how do i start at pong then?
Brandon Lewis

Levi Kelly
It's because the OP is hates anything related to anime and changes it as soon as the thread gets close to 750 posts.
OP meme fags don't even bother realizing that something is missing and just copy and paste the old OP and change the title or "Edition" just for the sake of getting some "lulz!"
David Cox
not him, but on my guesss you can probably find tutorials to make tetris or pong games on youtube
Camden Wright
Do you know how to code? >Yes, I do Then start with the basic, one paddle that moves up and down when you press the up and down keys on your keyboard. >No, I don't. Learn.
Luis Williams
Any of you lads streaming gamedev?

To the user who called me fat in the last thread: fuck you don't act like you don't know I know where you live, finish your game or I will walk to your house and kill you in person

I spent all day crafting the ultimate devving playlist.
Feels good desu
Juan Morgan
It really is amazing (in a horrible way) how much of a subculture there is in AGDG.
Owen Morales
i guess it's hard. it takes a lot of time just to get minimal things working. you can get away with not knowing much of the math by relying on libraries, like i do. the buffers and shaders and how to draw a basic triangle i can understand, but i often need to look at examples to remind myself of the code.
Camden Cruz
Anti-anime autists are the weirdest vocal minority on Veeky Forums.
Juan White
>but i often need to look at examples to remind myself of the code. Thats a given for a library as big as openGL, even more so if you just use it once in a project and after that only tweak little parts of your opengl code.

Christopher Sullivan
My english is bad, but your reader comp seems worse. My point was the waifu-jam is game jam that's going on. Having an anime OP picture doesn't matter to me either. No OP image should really matter, it's just a fucking picture, nobody cares but you. Though removing an AGDG event is completely wrong just because of the word "waifu".
Dominic Wood
Mannequins/suits of armor/armor stands that move slightly when you leave the room and come back.
Head turns towards the door you entered from, objects nudged slightly to one side, etc.
Parker Thompson
Oh then actually we're in agreement. Leaving out the jam is wrong and it doesn't matter anime pic or not. I misread as thinking people were not using anime OPs just for lulz, like the default is anime OPs
Zachary Rodriguez
Fully rigged death. I'm going to try and animate the 3 little skulls coming out of the big skull's mouth and see how spoopy it is.
Caleb Hill
Let's imagine for a moment that all devs and artists here agree on something for the first time, and make a collab-lke game. What would it be about?
Parker Gomez
sourcefam/danny/reek/whatever. They have put so much time into agdg I think it's only fair.
Gabriel Howard
You're a spooky guy
Alexander Gutierrez
How the fuck do I trick an artist into working for me for free and then also becoming my gf?
Joshua White
Thoughts on colors?
Alexander Johnson
woo her with your extensive knowledge of anime and imageboard culture
Carter Baker
Okay but not ver interesting
Logan Martinez
flat
Benjamin Jones
I plan to make textures more detailed with hand painting. just didn't know if the base colors worked well together. I'm not super good with color theory.
Xavier Walker
very generic not bad but generic
Caleb Harris
They work incredibly well together, which is why they've been done a million times, as said
Wyatt Harris
Basically this It's like I've seen that combination many times before, they're not bad colours.
Connor Clark
I guess generic Isn't bad for a first rough draft/placeholder. Ill use it while working on the mechanics and change him up to be more interesting later
Chase Baker
how many faces is too many faces?
I can't model for shit so i'm going for the ZUN way, add random shit till it kinda looks good.
is 1.5k too many?
Blake Perry
normally you would just have one face
Jaxson Wright
1 if normal, 2 if ogre?
Josiah Johnson
It depends
But no, 1.5k isn't a lot on modern hardware.
Noah Bell
Over 9000 hours of physics baking.
Carson Harris
The (what appears to be) high air resistance makes it look like paper, not gibs.
Tyler Davis
It's way too saturated, and all the colors are too basic. It's like drawing green grass, blue sky, etc. That's now how color works outside of the 3rd grade.
tl;dr: try using the saturation slider
Here's my 5 second in mspaint edit that doesn't really have much to do with what I just said. I made it a lot darker overall, which is probably not what you're going for with the general artstyle/character.
Charles Morgan
How does my model look? Anyone's waifu ;););)?
Blake Cook
Like a Runescape crack whore.

Looks like RunEscape
For the record this looks mostly terrible still. The head seems passable though.

how do i improve it? what are the most glaring flaws?
Liam Gomez
coming from a person who never modeled anything arms and legs are too fat rest is ok
Zachary Cox
>not just being smart yourself
David King
I'd like to see it just slump off the body into a pile on the floor.
Anthony Lewis
looks like down syndrome daenerys
Brandon Taylor
holy hell that looks pretty damn nice and I really like the pants you gave him. Im going to rework the colors to be a bit more like you show
Connor Nguyen
Did you mean ? :L
Austin Nguyen
While in combat any attack will have a green, red, or blue special effect. These effects show you what you are draining. Attacks (though not all) can drain health, Stamina, or mana.
If the attack or event drains over 50% of your mana or stamina a colored explosion happens. (example here being the dodge).
Joseph Evans
When will the stamina bar meme end?
Jaxson Richardson
...
Juan Williams
no, I was replying to who gave me color critique on my character
Michael Bailey
>meme end
Sorry you only like games with simple overly simple combat mechanics. If I remove the stamina bar will it be casual enough for you then?
Jayden Barnes
i like it and would be proud of myself if i have created that
Julian Lopez
Bars in general are lazy af
>hurr I can't imagine anything other than an int/float range of 0 to full because that's just how games are done
Aiden Bennett
Alright ideas guy, come up with something better.
Gabriel Smith
I don't even know where to begin. I guess the shoulders especially are just wonky as fuck. They have to definition, it looks like a play-doh man.
The legs look like furniture.
You need to do some basic study of anatomy.
Nathaniel Martinez
Do you want someone to create a stamina mechanic using hash tables of complex numbers?
Logan Phillips
>int/float range of 0 to full
Its only that way because this is a prototype, I have not worked out balancing yet, though since you are an idea's guy you probably wouldn't know anything about that.
Carter Ramirez
>Thinking I'm casual just because I hate the influence souls series had on "specific Knightdevs"
I'm not going to respond to "lol get gud" souls fanboy go to argument. But I will note that "Clarent" A game being developed here is very complex and obviously has a castlevania/souls inspiration without adding an obnoxious green stamina bar.
Jason Wilson
>What would it be about? it would be about being a deliveryman who died, and now has to deliver furniture and packaged mail in hell to demons. Trying to get luxurious couches and shit through too-small doors and obstacle-laden front and backyards, while bitchy demon wives deride you as you struggle to get that washer-dryer combo past the fence and to the back patio doors
Luke Stewart
you use heavy attack! your stamina quaternion rotates 0.4 radians about an axis of (0.71, 0, 0.71)!
Gavin Peterson

Joseph Ramirez
well consider what a bar is. It's a plot, a bar graph. There are a lot of different kinds of graphs. Violin plots, ternary plots, tons. So really the problem is that the underlying data structure is simplistic as fuck.
If it came with good display, sure. The Complex plane has some properties that could make it interesting as a health model I bet.
