/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

Nice try

IDEAS ARE NOT PREMISES

DAILY REMINDER

IF YOUR NOTES AMOUNT TO "X thing where Y thing happens while Z", you do not have ideas. You have fuzzy feelings.

IDEAS can easily take up hundreds of pages. From your IDEAS a person would need to be capable of walking through the entire game mentally.
If they can't, you aren't even an ideas guy. You are just a fucking retard who never put any thought into a game ever. You are a pleb of the lowest level who will probably be surprised that sprinting is an ability that requires programming.
You are so shit that you wouldn't be able to use a coffee machine. Because a coffee machine needs more steps to use than are included in the scope of your "idea manifesto".

You are a worthless waste of space that has no concept of anything vidja and should just self-terminate. We do not need you.

...

12th for more LEWD content.

>I'm not that good at programming myself otherwise I would have.
Neither am I.
But what you described is trivial as all shit and I wish I had your problems.

Creepy.

Then mention it next time. This art looks pretty cute, you should post some more.

What kind of dev are you looking for? Any engine in mind?

Why not offer your art for a programmer? there are several platformers with shitawful art in this thread. You could be concept artist and make the sprites, and the programmer doesn't have to ababndon their project.

>IDEAS can easily take up hundreds of pages.
'no'

Not even overly complicated/retarded games like MGS need design docs longer than 20-30 pages

1st for Java

scary 4 ever
Now i need the strongest potion to be successful in gaming dev.

More tetris progress!

> tfw 50% done

- Added shape gen
- Better rng for colors
- A lot of testing

ideaguy is saying "X thing where Y thing happens while Z"

game designer can make a hundred page design doc, and is not worthless

Kek

kind of a shit show to be desu

So you are doing three-dimensional Tetris where each color has its own layer?

PREMISES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN VIDEO GAMES

IF YOU DONT HAVE A GOOD PREMISE YOU CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF

NOBODY WILL HAVE PLAY YOUR PREMISELESS GAME

...

Here's a character. I drew up the concept and commissioned someone else to make it look competent.

Thanks I suppose.

I'm just looking for anyone with some experience in programming. It can be done in anything, doesn't really matter to me, but if it could be done in an engine that can be ported to anything that'd be a bonus.

Even if I decided to code it on my own, I'd want the project to be programmed competently and take less than five years to finish. I can't do both of those on my own.

Sprite-wise I can only do tilesets, really. I can't animate worth a shit.

Plus I like the idea too much for that. It's not innovative or ground-breaking but the style and execution combined with my level design skills could at the very least make something really fun and memorable I'm sure.

My strongest potions would kill a dragon, let alone a codemonkey.

How make enemies fight each other?

IF PREMISE IS THE ONLY THING YOU ARE LITERALLY WORTHLESS

IF YOU CANNOT SUM IT UP AS A PREMISE, YOUR GAME IS WORTHLESS

"LIKE X MEETS Y" IS NOT A PREMISE

exactly what has you so hell bent on making a generic-ass 2D pixel platformer?

literally why? apply your professional ideaguy skills on some actually interesting ideas instead

>So you are doing three-dimensional Tetris where each color has its own layer?

user, thats the best idea i didn't have!

Imma give you credit when i'm done implementing it

any recording software that works on a toaster running winxp? literally anything will do

Did you buy a single asset?

Write me down as Autismguns.

"X MEETS Y" IS A PREMISE

LITERALLY

YOU NEED TO LEARN ENGLISH BRO

Avid tetris player here.
Look into TGM series for inspiration.

That's a really cute design, hope you find someone who can help you.

Potion Seller, I'm telling you I need your strongest potions. I'm going into dev night I need your strongest potions!

That user isn't me

if you really want to credit me, just say "DragonReaper"

Also read up on this.
Some of the modes are funny and there is ton of gameplay for all of them online.
There is even TGM 4 plans so look that up too.

The issue is that this kind of premise is just pure unreflected sperg most of the time, and also not specific enough. "Metroid meets Stalker" can mean dozens of different things without clarification.
When you read that kind of premise, you should be careful.

Sure thing, nigger.

Not that I really care. Seriously, it's a fucking amateur game on a Mongolian shitposting tapestry.

I do wonder why your entire existence seems dedicated to shitposting.

user, you can pick up Game Maker right now and go from nodev to having finished your platformer in less than two years. Maybe even less if you use a GM base like Grandma Engine.

Obviously GM wants your cash before it'll port your game, but it's still a good choice. Hell, I'll personally help you get started if you'd like.

So is exhausting the computer's ram the win condition?

no capper works so fuck it
i shat out some basic platforms and implemented the angry birds style movement
the game is gonna be turn based, launching mechs and using their moves midair for combat. rpg-style progression and party making
i basically ripped off the idea from tobihime interbreed (minus the porn), and i'm gonna try to add depth to the gameplay

Main character controll and the loops work pretty okay now.

whats lacking ? collision detection ? i never programmed tetris. do it even use collision check ?

You can't if they don't want to user

the plot twist is the playing field is actually an image file that is updated every tetromino, so the RAM usage never increases

But why

At this stage, it may well be user

This is looking pretty good.

thanks

I love this

Let them use the same behavior they use for fighting the player, but allow other enemies as targets.

I love how it spins in the air. Don't like the camera giving sanix a colonoscopy on the loops.

patent this

>SSDs mandatory

Imagine if some kind of abstract painting was created depending on how you shape the playfield.
It grows bigger and bigger and and becomes more elaborate with fractal shapes and shit.

locking the camera behind sanix while his feet are touching terrain would be better i think, it's hard to see where you're going on the loop when you can't even see sanix

what the hell..

totally proves it was you

That, block states or lines states

I've been thinking on that shit for a while

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO

literally 1.5 minutes in mspaint

I unironically want to play this

I already wrote out why.

And I really like platformers man I dunno what to tell you. Always have. I'd just really like to make my own with my own ideas, characters and style.

Yes, I already had some music tracks and sound effects made. They'll have to be redone a bit though

thx m80

The proof is the fact that you know that you aren't me.

I do wonder why we have so many dedicated juvenile shitposters here, though.

I'm going to make demo day. I'm going to focus and I'm going to make it. Feel the motivation, feel the power to dev. Let's DO IT.

ur a juvenile shitposter

...

Yes the camera setup is not working that good, especially in the loops. With i"it works relatively okay now" I mean that the loops don't break the whole character controller or Sanix gets ejected from the loops at the speed of light.

It might be the first good Sonic game.
Keep it up.

>or Sanix gets ejected from the loops at the speed of light
should have kept it as a Feature(TM)

-- "From the user at /AGDG/ in this image"

make the camera like this.

All you really need is this though.

Thanks, will do.

Sorry for including you in the name shitpost

A clone of allegiance(2000) in ue4

I will never finish it.

That's stupid. I'd personally recommend the camera to work on splines like Sonic Generations did.

You have 45 seconds t

You swim in poison, you get poisoned.

That's a good game mechanic, thanks, gonna add it to my game!

>still no fanarts of your game
life is suffering

You have just the right amount of health to get to the other side, stall even once and you're dead.

only if you have any cuts for it to enter your bloodstream.

100% HP == immune to poison

>still no game
life is suffering

Here just drew this up. I think it fits your game really nicely

here you go

How did the devs even stay sane doing the entire game like this?

I thought of something like this yes.

I dont know how that looks like, the only 3d Sonic games I have played are Sonic Adventure 1/2 and Sonic Heroes.

Being an ideaguy is strictly a drawback if looking for collab, everyone wants to work on their own idea. An artist offers art, a musician offers music, ideaguy just demands you abandon your own game and work on his.

They get paid up front.

Well with splines you can just put the camera on any path you want it to take.

they were yapanese

Anyone have the image from this?
