Believe it or not, one good way to improve on that is reading a lot and then mimicking stuff you liked.

I told you you can't do shit without arts.
Eli Sullivan
goals for this week, get animation implemented with some kind of time line, and get saving and loading to work
Dylan Fisher
Strong, well put together colors schemes already goes a long way.
Implement smart-ish lock-on, fix a couple of minor bugs, and make new sprites.
Wyatt Wright
Stop complaining. There's tons of money to be made with even abysmal art. You're just thinking of generic shit.
Adam Watson
>There's tons of money to be made with even abysmal art. And you also really need to stop telling shit like this. If you think that games like Dwarf fortress make **tons of money** then you're clearly delusional.
.gif related are the one making tons of money with barely any gameplay.

Let me give you the most basic example of dogshit art and success: Minecraft
Aaron Evans
>tfw need UI designer
Liam Ward
what about undertale
Nolan Richardson
Let me ask you 2 questions :
* Do you genuinely believe that Minecraft didn't just barely got away with that? If it wasn't for the heavy marketing and the old history people would not have bothered with the game. To this day there are still people not trying the game for the same reason.
* Do you genuinely believe that a game with such low graphics would get away today?
Undertale success happened only because of the Earthbound fanbase and the previous reddit pandering years. The same happened with Stardew Valley btw.
And on a personal note I sincerely hope that you have better standards than that.
Grayson Gray
Excuse me, Dwarf Fortress is beautiful art. It also makes around $8000 every month. And it has been consistently around that for years now. That is better than games that have one big spike of sales then drop to no profit after that.

Good thing is that you can learn how to art, just like anything else.
Benjamin Brown

My bad for taking the bait.
Christopher Nguyen
I'm still upset about that. Mojang hired an artist, they could have easily fixed all of the shitty noisy garbage Notch made. But no, they decided to just have him make advertising art instead of any in-game art.
Jonathan Bennett
>posting that modded garbage Get out of here. I'm talking about the vanilla art.
Thomas James
I wish I could draw cute girls
Zachary Morris
I wish I could kiss cute girls. a-and hold hands

I'm sure you can find a cute girl that will let you do that to her for the right price
Jordan Evans
Stop bumping the thread if you have no relevant dev post to make.

I know AGDG isn't the best place to ask that but I don't know where else to ask.. Is there a tutorial on how to right a good book of rule for a game?

New demo! justletit.be/~brum/GunMetal_Build_0-55-1121_WIN.zip Added a level purely for testing the new rocketjumping movement stuff without getting bugged by AI. It features a gap jumping test, an infinite circle loop and a hidden easter egg.
To use the new jump features, all you have to do is shoot in the opposite of your movement direction, especially while being in the air. Soft-bunnyhopping is also in the game, meaning that you can keep jumping about without holding any movement buttons, but only if you queue a jump before you land, by holding the jump button. Try the game first without messing with any of the debug values.
Hudson Gomez
Thanks
Sorry I don't know the english word for that and google can't translate it...

They're usually an indicator of pandering, which is usually an indicator that a game is bad
Owen Nguyen
>i wish i could draw the ugliest girls You mean uglier than your pic? It's physically impossible.
Isaac Butler
>They're usually an indicator of pandering, which is usually an indicator that a game is bad Not really. Otaku make what they like, not what makes them money.

Is there a program that has everything you need to make webms [that are Veeky Forums compatible {yes, with Veeky Forums compatible, I mean something that will allow you to strip the audio channel out of the webm}] in one easy to use application ?

if you're claiming the ugly aesthetic is an ironic aesthetic then let me put that out of your mind. ugliness has always been a desirable aesthetic to create. art would be emotionally one dimensional if we only aimed for beauty for future reference you should learn what irony is youtube.com/watch?v=GY_meT6x45w
Ayden Ortiz
Irony means you draw ugly girls and say they're cute.
Camden Ramirez
>AGDG is too stupid to realize that they're working off of 20/20 hindsight to know they're not a native English speaker No surprise there.

to better understand, compare and beauty and ugliness both bow to the whims of aesthetics so to claim anything like try to claim as irony is inherently false.
