/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

What? There's a helpful sticky there.

...

Oh. Welp.

Sorry for being a retarded dick.

GIFs are objectively inferior to webm due to their shitty filesize and inability to scrub, and lack of export by webmforretards

Hey you

Post spooky game ideas

Body horror game where you can look down at yourself, and throughout your body morphs and significantly altars how you have to interact with the world.

This would be so fucking creepy to play in VR

>fap - lose motivation
>don't fap - too lonely to dev

>tfw need to ruin sleep schedule
This is it; I'm finally going to make progress

stand up at your desk and do it.

um no im not a freak?

Gifs are superior for pixel art where accurate color reproduction is important

>156138942
never reply to me again.

>tfw ruined my sleep schedule and can't dev anymore because I'm tired all the time.

well the colors are a tiny bit better

at this point I'll probably just leave it. it'd probably be better to just let the players pick random colors when the game starts rather than me trying to figure it out

>it'd probably be better to just let the players pick random colors
I love when games do this.

go fapcoding

One day I'll be rich enought to pay a girl to give me a blowjob while I'm coding.

Trying to think of a way to turn my evolution algorithm into a game.

A minimalist RTS.

evoluter.io

make spore but not shit

+ with some possible puzzle elements

>read latest volume of muh loli manga
>best girl barely appears in this issue
>too lonely to dev

What manga?

Fucking genius. Not sure about putting this guys in a top-down world, but it might work.

Will it be considered rape if one player's creature force mates with another's?
Pls say yes.

Is that even possible?
Oooh, you mean never leaving single cell stage?

Considering the evolution is out of player's hands, I wonder how that would work out.

Thanks, guys. These are some awesome ideas.
For the most part I'm just mulling over what player will have control over.
So far I was thinking something along the lines of:
player setting creature's nodes and muscles,
letting game generate about 10000 of such creatures (with slight mutations),
testing them in level-specific obstacle course,
evolving until they reach a course they can't get past
and then letting the player design a new one.

if you want to get rich just combine the simple rts and evoluter.io suggestions. massively mutiplayer never goes wrong

How do I hire an artist or musician for a set amount of pictures or tracks? Like I'm fine contacting them and discussing price but after that? I assume I need a contract, is a lawyer obligatory, does it work differently if me and the artist are in different countries? Are there websites explaining all this kind of stuff?

yes, you should find a lawyer to help you draft a contract for anything involving hiring people to create content for you

No need to bother, I mean when's the last time you saw an artist jew up someone? Waste of time IMO

I made it so time actually advances when you rest for 8 hours. Coincidentally the lighting for evening and night look basically the same so it kind looked like nothing changes, but you can see the clock updating and status effects wearing off.

Maybe some day I'll add a fade to black or something. Who knows.

You should make it tick in hour segments like waiting in an elder scrolls game, even if you don't have to.

Makes it feel more weighty.

>"What are you gonna do, sue me?"
>-Quote from man sued

At some point I may have a wait/camp screen where you say "wait for x hours" and it ticks up 1 minute at a time (really quickly) with a button you can press to stop early. The tavern will probably stay instant though.

Nice Oblivion clone

it's a might and magic clone

l-lol?

Are there any fantasy shooters other than Heretic? I would like to try out some for inspiration.

Serialized classes behave like structs, if you want serialize by reference (and be able to do nulling) you need to use scriptableobjects.

>clickteam fusion humble bundle

What's /agdg/'s opinion?

Fuck humble bundle

>$15 for the only useful exporters and an editor executable

Very (((humble))) of them

>No need to bother, I mean when's the last time you saw an artist jew up someone? Waste of time IMO
A certain furry porn game comes to mind

>class with instances of itself

What retarded language is this?

have you ever heard of lists or trees?

Yeah but in any sensible language doing this wouldn't be allowed as it would create an infinite number of instances.

Doesn't clickteam fusion assfuck you royally when you start selling your game?

Do you think Dark Messiah of Might and Magic counts? Or is that rather an RPG but in first person like the ES games?

You're on the upslope of mount stupid

Hexen?

Can you give me an example of a language that allows this while maintaining logical consistency?

C++, C#, Java, JavaScript

You're asking for a language that lets you declare a field on a class that is the same type as that class?

And maintains logical consistency.

Static doesn't count.

So like 2 weeks ago my ear hurt really bad for few days, since then I had this weird sensation like there was something inside and I felt strange snapping down the ear canal while chewing food

Just now I yawned really deep and I think something popped inside and some liquid came out of it

Lol what is that, ear cancer? How much time do I have doc

No clue what's that got to do with gamedev, but you might be having problems with the joint on your jaw.

They look alive

My game and I are officially in a long-term committed relationship. This is true bliss.

Post game

...

That's a picture of a game. I said "Post game"

That fucking kike nose.

Take a look at the games included pretty sure they're all made with it. That alone should make it clear to stay as far away from it as possible.

Doesn't the money go to charity?

Fuck charity

Fuck you

Charities are literally communism.

Go fuck yourself fucking kike

40% goes to humble bundle, 50% goes to clickteam fusion, 10% goes to charity.

So you better buy a lot if you want to help those kids goy!

Source on this? The website says: "Choose exactly how your purchase is divided between the developers, charity and even the Humble tip jar."

Yeah you can choose how to split them, but iirc last time I bought something from humble bundle that's their default way of spreading. Or at least close to that.

For a non-sexual VN on steam, I'm planning on making it episodic and see the success, or lack of success, after the first episode, then continuing with it or not.

What price should the episode be? how short is too short?

google is your friend.

I personally used the boiler plate from here.

Any time I get anything from HB I put it all to them.

Now that lewd jam is finally fucking over.
Artist here looking to collab for spooky jam. Heres my work.

Lets talk about your project.
Send me an email [email protected]

Nevermind dude, good luck. Not interested.

10-20 dollars depending on your asset quality.

Browse through popular VNs and see how their time is defined. "Medium" length VNs are 10-30 hours.

Sorry she's not really interested. We're going to make breakfast now and get right to deving :)

>from committed relationship to not interested in 3 posts flat

>merc_wip

thank you!

You NEED a contract. And you NEED to put in that contract that whichever art they make for the game is yours forever, including the idea, the characters, everything.
Or else, they can come for you when the game is out and demand a big part of the benefits.

modelling complex figures is hard
