/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

tell him i said to get well soon

I hope he gets better. If he dies agdg will officially have 0 (zero) good looking games.

progress heals all wounds.

But... he's not doing the art.

moth

It takes two to make a game.

>lewd devs get all of the fan art
fuck kill me now.
this looks neat. don't dig the black background tho.

>using the illness of another dev to push your progress
Welcome to the blacklist.

moth is not a lewd dev though

>Dude let me in, I'm a fairy. Don't you believe in fairies.

make cute girl game get fanart

sh-sh-shaw

>mothgirl dev is weaver a steamchat fag who attacked gogem a fellow /agdg/ gamedev via reviews
Welcome to the blacklist.

what? how the fuck does that help push my progress?

Anybody know any good resources or books for developing games in JavaScript? I've read a few hundred page book on introduction to JavaScript. I'm really comfortable with HTML5 and CSS but those obviously are useless with developing games. I feel like the gap from knowing the fundamentals of JavaScript to creating a game are really big. I've read the Mozilla docs for game development and I know how to make a tile based map but that's about it. I'm looking to make a tile based 2D ARPG.

>Why use that shitty thing that every shitty games use that make people instantly think your game is a pile of shit?
Because you don't care what 1% of your playerbase thinks?

If you change your game to appease autistics you are probably autistic yourself. If you want an example of someone making a Unity game with the launcher who is going to make millions I can give you one. You won't like it or accept it.

Is agdg just full of this sort of highschool level dramaqueening? I was interested in being a part of it, but not if it's like this.

Start by not using JavaScript

that looks very fresh and interesting, something i thought i wouldn't ever think about a pixel game ever again

you are awarded:

MOST INTERESTING AGDG PIXEL GAME AUGUST 2016

Is this a mockup or is it actual ingame AI that works like this?

it looks like a mockup

>who attacked gogem a fellow /agdg/ gamedev via reviews

Sounds juicy. Link?

Autists make the best games.
Prove me wrong

I hope the LD theme is good, if not I'll keep working on my DDX demo

you can just ignore the parts you dont like
i ignore the progress posts!

YES. agdg is 90% drama 5% off topic images and 5% video game development

be the change user. This was a bad post you made but I'm sure you can do better. Good luck!

>Is agdg just full of this sort of highschool level dramaqueening?
Yes. You should ignore baseless posts like that, no one takes them seriously, not even the person who posted it.

>off topic imagery is equal to progress posts
wew lad, little off there?

>agdg is 90% drama
I fucking wish. agdg is boring as fuck. The danny days are over.

No, it's the real game jamesedsmith.itch.io/piken-shot

...

[bait post that everyone ignores because of the low quality of the bait but continues to be reposted each thread]

...

The default unity launcher makes the game look super unprofessional to me.

96% of the art in the game right now is his.

Ask googem he's the one who cared enough to save a screenshot of it.

But yeah basically steamchat faggots assaulted his game via the review section because he gave /agdg/ free keys once. They gave him negative reviews and shit on him. It was a lynching.

I literally hate googem but not as much as I hate steamchat. What they did was fucking raw and wrong and half of them are mods of steamchat now.

Word is they've migrated to discord chat. So be wary of discord now.

fucking RAW

rust had the launcher for a long time. I think it still does actually

How do we stop steamchat?

>spooky moth girl with glowing red eyes lurking outside your house at night

>"RUBBBB MYYYY TITSSSSSS"

Autism is a spectrum disorder. The example to use is Yanderedev. Using Unity Store Assets and the Unity Launcher but still not autistic enough to avoid using the launcher or assets because he's afraid of what autists might think.

He will be a multi-millionaire within the next 2-3 years.

>cared enough to save a screenshot of it.
it's in the steam reviews of RRPS forever, you can go grab a screenshot whenever you like without having to save it.

It's not a baseless accusation.

Go to the store page for Restricted RPS and scroll down for negative reviews. All the negative reviews are by /agdg/ devs who got free keys.

I thought googum was part of steamchat? So they just fuck over their own friend without any hesitation? Brutal.

Why are there so few moth games here?
Did the frogs eat all of them?

>I hope the LD theme is good, if not I'll keep working on my DDX demo
I hear you. I didn't do the last LD because I just couldn't be assed with the themes. But I saw the crop for this final voting round and it's safe to say I'm in no matter what.

games back in the day were pretty deep

I FUCKING LOVED TERRANIGMA
A+ INSIDE OUT WORLDBUILDING HELL FUCKING YES
>tfw never finished the game

>I thought googum was part of steamchat?
According to them he popped in a couple times and argued with them which means he's the devil and they hate him. But no he's not really in with steamchat.

He is a shit though, let's make no mistake about it. Gogem is a fakedev.

i went to steamchat a few times but m not part of it because i would need to be a regular and who the fuck has steams shitty client open all the time? nodevs that's who.

yeah I dont tolerate any kind of invasive DRM personally

it varies
there's always an undercurrent of it, mostly because you need to have some identity to participate here (giving unique and consistent content marks people out) and because Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums in particular is full of bitches who like to bitch and also force memes

Thanks, gonna play around with this and figure out what works

I only care about his artist.
Has he made any progress on his lewd game yet?

fuck off reddit

idk but see

>2pig2 OP pic
Disguising

unity just fucked my project
I thought it was just a meme
i thought I was safe
all my work is fucked
my game is fucked
its over

Steamchat has more yesdevs than (You) but they're still a bunch of shitters. They harbor the most infamous literally insane shitposter.

Personally I find this place quite civil and on-topic after my time in Homestuck General

>not keeping backups

I only like the 4%

>not having 14 backups over 4 different devices
step it up

>They harbor the most infamous literally insane shitposter.
vine?

You're welcome to that opinion. I'm not sure if you'd want to fap to the health bar though. Maybe you would; I won't judge.

What's a good program you recommend for backups?
Don't want that shit to happen to me too.

dropbox, onedrive.

>tfw to intelligent to gamedev

But not intelligent enough to stop posting this shitty meme

>risking syncing errors
he needs something with redundancy

>to
Not so fast there, friend

>tfw to intelligent
>to intelligent
>to

>two intelligent
>has feel like normal human bean
not buying it

you fuck off, I've been here for years
you're really going to tell me Veeky Forums doesn't like to bitch?

I'm just seeing if I can apply what I've learned with JavaScript. Is it really that bad? Just seeing if I can do this as a side project and maybe learn some more.

and not a single progress post was seen that day

no wait i get it. you only visit Veeky Forums to understand why people are so fucked up

>people on Veeky Forums like to 'bitch'
your criticism of Veeky Forums is retarded

...

Does someone have that comparison pic of games with prebuilt engines and those with engines people make themselves?

>please help me shitpost I cant do it own my own

Literally can't imagine how that would be playable.

>tfw no shitpost engine

The real game is a lot slower; I fucked up the speed on that gif.

Here's the link for the prototype so far jamesedsmith.itch.io/piken-shot

I'm working on the first boss right now.

How do you do color palettes
I thought I could use the DB32 palette in aseprite for my entire game but I'm not good enough at spriting to work with these restrictions. Using full-color sounds like a mess just waiting to happen.

why are they using pikes and crossbows when they have guns? what era is it meant to be?

From his itch.io
>where you controlled a formation of 16th century

Snaplock muskets were introduced in the Renaissance but doesn't mean it discontinued the use of pikes and crossbows.

Reminder that good artists steal

The pike and shot era, renaissance era, early modern, late medieval sorta period.

Early guns like hang gonnes and Arquebuses where limited in their capability and very awkward and slow firing due to their ignition system (burning match cord). As such, large bodies of cavalry or heavy infantry were still a threat on the battle field. Pikemen often used to protect them from people on horseback who could advance suddenly at them, and crossbows were basically just as effective as early guns. So it would be a little while before such things became outmoded.

>HTC is giving half a million dollars in prizes to 5 devs with vives.
Instead of giving another thousand devs a headset kit.
Kill me.
