/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

Why?

The programmer doesn't "own" the game if other people worked on it

If it's your art in the game that art still belongs to you unless he/she pays for the rights of it. In the same sense the programing belongs to the programmer unless you paid for it.

I can't draw or write

Some up-ice fixes that needed to be done before more boss work. Now it works on slopes and one-way platforms, and doesn't do silly things when you use it next to a wall.

If you can program you can still make something lewd

That's really good

It just works™

>He actually said that.

Later I told my buddies who had done some gayboy gamedev course at Uni and they asked "Was that Spaniardguy? Yeah he's a huge cunt".

Turns out he didnt even contact the artist to ask where the work was, and he hadn't actually paid him yet, despite the agreement stating that 75% of the funds would be paid up front.

>75% of the funds would be paid up front
A lot of loyalty for a highered artiest

>gamemaker tutorial tells you to use an entirely wrong action that just doesn't work in one section
>the next section that gives you the code that you would have ended up with from the last section has the right action

ree etc

>the devs pronounce it "go dot"
what the fug

how else would you pronounce it?

Apologies, I got it backwards. 25% up front, 75% after work was received.

It wasnt even a lot of money, either. It was effectively for some background art and some cover art.

I pronounce it "gaw-dawt", dunno about that other user though.

is there somewhere I can get a free model for like... a giant cavernous room?

That sounds like a fair deal

like the play, not "go ."

"god oh" or "guh dough"

They pronounce it "go dot" because the program logo is a "ro bot"

>lewd starts in a day
>still no good small scope but fun idea

That's stupid

Godot is stupid. Did you miss the trump meme?

should be 50/50. at 25% people still scam and go away with the lineart.

oh, u mean you wanted to work with someone that has a game.
I thought you're the one that have the game and are finding for programmer that doesn't give up within 2 weeks.

Well, in this case, work for free.
there's plenty of people require art work for free.
I need an artist that can work for free too~

I've heard it pronounced "go dough"

>Did you miss the trump meme?
What are you talking about?

>watched every YouTube video I could find on Blender
>still not good at 3D modeling

because you have to actually practice. you only really need to know some basic tools for most modelling.

rigging and animating is a different nightmare beast

alright so I have this... thing. it looks marginally better from inside it, but still looks pretty bad

there's a hole in the ground and you'll drop down, get some item, and then come back up through the staircase (which will have a button to open the door so you can't open it from the main room)

just gotta practice
force yourself to make a different thing every day even if it turns out shit you you will improve

>read a book on C++
>still don't have the skills to program videogames
I give up

>watched every bob ross videos
>still not good at drawing

that's how retarded you sound like

people who tell you that 100% of good artist just repeated forever tend to avoid to discuss about the 99% of people for whom it didn't work.

>watched youtube videos

you are an actual idiot

en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro

someone add this shit to the op because I'm tired of posting it every single time some shitter has trouble with blender

He CAN'T keep getting away with it!

the 99% for whom it didn't work aren't just poor bastards who had no luck. Repeating things forever mindlessly is not going to work, obviously. You have to apply yourself and practice in a manner that actually advances your skills.

I always thought it's a reference to the Samuel Beckett play.

>the 99% for whom it didn't work aren't just poor bastards who had no luck
>tfw not lucky enough to have talent
>tfw I'll never make it

me too user, me too. feels bad to be born without talent ill never make it. its not fucking fair

tackling the interface bloat. worked over ammo and bomb counter.

T-Thanks wiki

see? you go with the belief I just explained. you only see the 1% and pretend it's a "everybody can do it".

Ah I think I got inspired now

I second this so much. Every time someone asks for help in Belnder, they get directed to the official guide (which is not free), or occasionally get some good video tutorials.

I believe that you have posted that link before, but I have never seen it, so thanks for posting it again!

>want to make a shitty freemium game for mobile
>have no ideas
>never gonna rake in normie dosh
Dang.

Well, let's say that I go by what I know to be true. And I know that *I* can do pretty much anything as long as I put time and effort into it. If you can't do that then it's not my problem.

>watched porn for 15 years
>I'm still not a cute girl who loves to suck dick
Why do I keep living?

>shitty freemium game for mobile
even if u make a high quality freemium game now, you won't make money.
the market is so over saturated that you are basically buying lottery to make big bucks on mobile market.

>not using RPi Zeros to build standalone Tiger handheld-style games

Get with the times. Clunky is in.

at least the second part came true you fucking faggot

make some cutesy dumb weeb rpg shit
idiots eat that shit up like candy

'Talent' is the biggest, worst meme humanity has given birth to in its whole existance

talent doesn't exist and faggots who fall for the talent meme are retarded

>talent doesn't exist
i can taste your jealousy through the monitor screen

Should probably not be licking your monitor, user. That's weird.

That's right, god created us all equal, anyone who is smarter or advantaged got it by oppressing poor minorities and making them less smart giving them less advantages

>super thinly veiled pedo thread
okay

This whole site is a thinly veiled pedo image board.

Has this been updated recently? I remember it didn't even teach cycles and had terrible mapping/texturing tutorials that would discourage any beginner because of how shit they looked.

>Old English talente, talentan (as a unit of weight), from Latin talenta, plural of talentum ‘weight, sum of money,’ from Greek talanton
>the value of a talent was about twenty years of labour, by an ordinary person
it's not a bad analogy if you keep the original meaning.

you're thinking of ∞_chan

I wonder when the use of talent for inherent skill meme began

jesus was purposefully vague with this bullshit so the joos wouldn't understand

just raise your kid (when you have one) to be super into drawing things on paper and you will have a kid who would be a candidate for blender art when they get older, i find its because i grew up drawing crazy insane shit when i was like 7 years old that made me an insane artist type. now i just need to mindlessly practice blender and watch a billion and a half youtube tutorials like you guys have been doing, i can make good shit but not when i dont know this crazy complex program interface

>live in brazil
>didn't join police force
It's like you don't want to be a god of life and death

Wait, is this another horror card game? I knew I couldn't be the only one. Shit.

post yours, friend

he gets to actually make decent money doing art since 100 american dollars is like 300 bucks in brazil, meanwhile we gotta deal with inflation and california tax and california rent prices here and somehow survive on a freelancer's wage while flipping burgers or something

That's what makes english language so fucking messed up. Nobody knows how to pronounce anything. And then we complain when foreigners can't pronounce shit properly.

>make a small fortune drawing furry porn
>get robbed by a biker with a gun
such is life in brazil

Mine is going to follow a TCG format, somewhere between all the games I played as a kid. I only have test shots right now as I'm a massive procrastinator.

If you made a successful game you could be.

I'm going to make a videogame and there's nothing you can do about it.

good luck with that, I'm hoping to play the demo soon

I really need to git gud at coding. My rpg design beliefs are finely honed from decades of playing rpgs.

Here's how I'd do it.

Instead of being hard locked into classes. I'd have a system where you buy
Skills
Traits
Attributes

Classes would be like purchasing a skillpath that unlock a group of traits that required a prerequisite of Skills, Traits, and Attributes.

For example the "Paladin" might be a hidden class requiring these prerequisites
- A melee combat weapon skill at rank 6
- heavy armor proficiency
- shield proficiency
- a charisma of 15
- a constitution of 14
- a strength of 14
- a wisdom of 12
- a intelligence of 12
- A set amount of lawful and good acts (recorded from decisions during dialogue and quests)
- A set amount of piety, gained from praying, doing deeds for a church, reading holy texts etc
- A hidden "Selfless Act of Heroism" These could be tagged for certain quest choices. Performing a selfless act of heroism would unhide the class so you could see the other prerequisites

The paladin class could be bought for an amount of exp and then you could buy paladin only traits like
- Hit Dice d10 rank 1 - 20
- Aura of Courage ranks 1 - 10
- Lay on Hands ranks 1 -10
- Divine Health [disease]
- Divine Health [poison]
- Divine Health [corruption]

Some traits are flat, others have scaling ranks. But the class itself would never force abilities on you that you don't want, not even a classes hp.

Same to you, user. I'll be keeping an eye out for progress. (screen is me trying out screen layout and stuff)

Kinda progress. Setting up my actor parents and children for easy use in both setting up the bases and no fuss when players are constructing them. I still feel I could make this thing tighter.

Pic is the lightswitch. Spawns amounts of lights as defined when dragged into the level and the necessary variables are public so that my room BP can update them if a player adds or destroys a light. Will replace the transform and spawn with a mesh to match so that even if they are deactivated in the event graph player still see where they are.

Come on, it's not too hard to teach someone how to use a scanner.

Or better, buy him a tablet and pirate photoshop or Aesprite for him (that's still yours if he gives up). Shit's super easy.

Veeky Forums turned into reddit-lite normie central years ago. Me saying that is literally a bannable offense because the rules legitimately say that you're not allowed to complain about Veeky Forums.

>ideaguying

Make it dependent on a quest with prerequisite attributes to add some role to your roll and you got yourself a pretty good system.

gr8 job monodev, looking sleek

>Your game don't have multiplayer online

Sad every time

>rpg gameplay mechanics are hard to code

If you were talking about "I'm going to have an action RPG with hundreds of weapon styles and animations for each society and race" that would be ideaguying.

The stuff I was talking about you could literally just have like, a dictionary object with

the trait class could be as simple as
int currentRank
int maxRank
string name

gameplay would just involve checking the list in player for if he had a trait or not.

;_; it makes me sad every time since thats not easy to do when your just starting out making stuff

On that topic, what parts do you keep serverside and what parts do you have clientside? There is so much cheating potential here but I don't want to burn down homes of server owners.

>if my game doesn't have online I get shat on by all the loners
Fuckin hell.
