/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

I can guarantee you 100% that I am more interested in loli jam than in playing video games

i figured

The poultry's right.

*flies into your IDE tonight and makes a mess of your function declarations*

What do you mean by big? Playtime? World size/level count? Depth of story? Filesize?

load times

he meant to type cock instead of game and made this mistake twice

A game where the loading screen is the real game

Reminder to sit up straight

patenting this

girth

A handsome video game developer? That's a first.

the man behind lisa was praised by /v/ as a handsome aryan half god half man who 1mas games and is a certified martial fighter, then they found out he was sjw

more stuff.

You're all a bunch of niggers

>Keep building in a blank wasteland because why not

So should I take some textures off the unity asset store, slap em on, and call it a day? Cause that's what i'm gonna do

If its 3d slap some free stuff in. If 2d rip out sprites as replacement.

Proof of concept is a thing for a reason.

Your artists are shit, find someone else or 1MA it.

what happens if you're standing on the changeable tiles when the switch is hit?

Artist here, I could be interested. What engine?

epic

Sorry, I don't collab with devs using Epic Games' engine.

What became of the official AGDG collab project?

impractically large for a one man project

you take damage. you can walk through switch tiles while damaged (same applies to moveblocks if you get crushed against the wall)

Step 0 of game development:
Establish an LLC to protect your personal assets from being seized in costly patent litigation

cull some shit

Thanks for all the games

you forgot to wish him good luck in all his future endeavors, shitter

It should spin just a bit whenever it's hit, and then do a full turn after the damage treshold is reached.

post character design

...

jesus christ what a beautiful trainwreck

patreon please

Don't you dare touch my UFUNTION macros.

In other news, the login system to my "mmo" style sandbox game is up and running, character data is persisting, glory is upon us.

Combat mechanics next.

Rate these asssssssssssets kkthx

I like that you didn't violate the geneva conventions. That's what I like msot.

Also they look good. I'm not sure 100% what the top four are supposed to be though I'm afraid. A pill top right? A floppy disc top left?

Thanks for the free assets

If you're going for a green cross, it shouldn't be embossed, it's reads like some sort of poorly drawn orb instead of a cross.

thought they were mostly asssssss/assets

they're bullet casings that get ejected from the players gun. including the pill. eh. needs work.

np bro. id be really upset if you showed your game with these assets in it.

i guess.

Hi. I know nothing about being a gamedev. Next year i'm gonna get in a uni and i want to know something beforehand. What should i learn before getting in there?

Learn to meditate.

You'll need to be able to focus your thoughts, self reflect and look at your inner self after the soulcrushing experience that is university.

Also practice safe sex.

You're not gonna cut it and give up on your vidya dev dreams right now while you still got your sensibilities intact

noooo

Learn programming. Best case you make your first year a lot easier. Worst case you learn programming isn't for you without wasting a year.

Get Java Headfirst, read through it in a week or two, go to projecteuler and solve some simple problems.

13 is bad luck

>implying people wouldn't hype up lolijam over any demoday

It feels like Jams get more attention than Demo Days to me in general, but maybe I'm wrong.

no fuck off gogem

hold on a sec

Stardew works on Linux? Somebody told me that xna is shit because microsoft

Microsoft had a change of heart when Nadella took the wheel. It's run by engineers now. They want their code to work, instead of wanting it to not work. It's refreshing.

you can't expect people to be excited every time for something that happens every 2 months. just look at how uninspired the demo day 13 page is

i blame steamchat/discord clique giving up on demodays and 2-3 people obsessed with anime girls taking steer of the thread and jam related stuff

>just look at how uninspired the demo day 13 page is
I want another DD9 ;__;

Anyone else get significantly less game dev work done for the day when they visit agdg?
It's like a curse or something...

It's almost like fucking around instead of working is unproductive.

YOU'RE MAKING A 2D GAME IN UNITY

UH, UH - SHOULDA USED GAME MAKER

what did he mean by this

What's the verdict on Scirra construct?

what did he mean by this?

Stop screwing around

>you're demo

guys i want to dev but i don't have any money

how do i make money without actually working

you don't need money to dev

man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

What do you need money for?

...Yes, the stork did it.

Yes.

I've been in a uni, i had the experience. Meditating would be really helpful but for now i have some meds.
>Also practice safe sex
>practice sex
Funny.
You could say something like that about everything.
I have some experience with matlab... i know how the logic behind programming works but i will read that. Noted.
That was interesting but the message at the end was kinda funny tho.
Pic related.

Become a hooker?

If you don't know programming and don't have money to pay programmers, you will not make a successful game.
It will take you years to learn programming well enough to make a good game. There are some extremely rare exceptions to this, but based on your post you aren't going to be one of them.
If you're prepared to spend actual years learning and practicing, then by all means. Otherwise, just stop.

>i blame(...)2-3 people obsessed with anime girls
Anime did nothing wrong

What if you're a good enough artist that you may be able to attract coders based on the art alone? (To work pro bono of course)

hahah god

> mfw I realize I can't even animate a simple running stickman, let alone make it do anything else without it looking like a spastic mess

wew lad this is actually harder than I thought

>but based on your post you aren't going to be one of them
Is that based on my english? If yes, this is not my first language, sorry about that.

Work from references. A lot.

i gotta eat, and i need a roof over my computer

a man's gotta dev

i'm not a cute fuccboi, so that's out

that feels like cheating man I don't want to copy or plagiarize other people's hard work

Friendly reminder that you'll never be a successful dev if you're not a social butterfly. Going to parties, networking and having engaging conversations with industry connections is how you become successful, not by silently working hard on some stupid video game.

You guys aren't introverted, right? I would suggest giving up on game dev if you are.

Work during the day
Dev during the night
Sleep for 5 hours.

If you work for 8 hours plus 2 hours travel time you still have 9 hours a day for dev. Stop being a lazy faggot.

I don't need nobody but myself. That's how i've gone through life so far and it's how i will life my life.

What's the logic behind corners being sharp or rounded?
