/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

If you knew anything about mountains, you'd know that's exactly what climbing Everest is like.

First 10 or so for progress.

The last bit of level before the decent into the boss areas.

Do you have anything specific in mind?

whats ure oppinion on this\??

Don't fell for the bait, user.

Artists are more valuable than programmers in this current climate. Hardly bait.

it looks polished as fuck though. they're doing all the art themselves.

t. pure salt nodev

What graphics engines do you use?

Well he's not askign what engine im working in or whatever, so he cant pull that off.

You are right, but the original poster is just doing the usual "artist looking for programmer" baiting routine.

It goes like this:
- Artist looking for programmer
- Here I am! Do you have any reference/ideas?
- First please, tell me what tools do you use for game making
- I use GM/Löve/Unity/Unreal/Custom/Whatever
- Ah, I see, sorry, but not interested

For some reason OP forgot to include a link to the upcoming Jam.
itch.io/jam/agdg-loli-jam-2017

She looks like a Paula.

A layman wouldn't be able to tell R-type from Thunder Force either.

Thanks user! There's a couple placeholders that've stuck around but otherwise it's all original, even music and sfx.

Unironically doing that in reverse is what got this game going, so it's not all shitposting.

The OP is a no pedophile zone. Feel free to reply to the OP with that link.

Good for you, user. You've made me max jelly. Godspeed with your game.

What exactly can I do with just trial gamemaker?

Reminder agdg game jam is over in under 4 hours
itch.io/jam/agdggj01

You can check out the website to see its limitations!

>Lolis shall not be sexualized, so NO LEWD STUFF.
the fuck is this bullshit?

Next time make it a week long.

Changed the tile spawners so they're at the edge now + did some wacky material for now, added selection visuals (yellow) and fixed multiselection, deletion, and some other minor bugs + refined rings, connection and debugged the UI a bit.

Opinions are very welcome.

Does anyone here even us it, or do they just buy it out front

72 hours is long enough.

Next jam theme has already leaked though, so if you want to be a cheater you can get started on it early.

Not everyone can work on games over the weekend. Some of us only have time on weekdays to make game.

So many polys, and yet it's so fucking hideous.
user, pls-

Not everyone can work on games over the weekdays. Some of us only have time on weekends to make game.

GMS1 was extremely usable even with the free version limitations. I haven't looked into GMS2 because I will be using 1 until I finish my current project (AKA for the rest of my forseeable future).

Back to Discord you go!

this webm is racist.

The GM:S 2 trial is pretty shit but the 1.4 one is almost fully featured, I think it only lacks the export modules for platforms other than Windows.

friendly reminder that while these 72 hour jams are inclusive to all members of the agdg diaspora, they are organized in the discord. so if you would like a say in the length or the theme please post there.

>it was a logic circuit game
I wasn't expecting this.

That's exactly why I suggest making it a week long. So that we have a weekend, or two weekends depending on how you set it up, plus one week of weekdays to make a game.

Hue I made them spawn fire for testing but fire hurts everyone it touches, so they just keep doing this until they die.

Should I be using that instead?

I've been a longtime lurker on this general and I'm finally coming close to finishing my first game. It's a android app called Bricktionary where it's similar to Pictionary where one user is the artist and other players have to guess the word they are representing but rather than being able to draw, the artist has to manipulate randomly-chosen shapes as a fun challenging twist. How's it sound?

Pic is a demo of the game screen (though the UI isn't finalized and obviously the word will be hidden from non-artists)

But I don't want to verify my email

I'm sorry user, i try. I guess the border is the worst culprit?
Yeah, it's a mix of old and new.

LOOK UP THE FEATURES

How's this for a simplistic tree ? How could I make it less shit ?
asking again since last thread's going to dead and I didn't get any [jew]

I'd assume simplistic meant a proverbial brown cylinder and green sphere. Try adding some AO and random variety, right now it's a mirror image, which is not good on the eyes.

As a result of itch.io being unsatisfactory for facilitating the loli jam that AGDG decided on we are going to freeball this like it's 2012..

-Loli Jam takes place April 1-15
-Host it wherever the fuck you want and link it in the thread (someone will compile a list no doubt).
-Feel free to use the lrsp run irc for chatting irc://rizon.net/AGDC

>we

How do i make stuff not look like shit in vr?

So, fuck this front ironsight, that is all.

Unity marketplace? UE4 materials?

we

>we

we're drunk as shit and ready to roll

oui

I don't know what I'm looking at but its fascinating

clyp.it/5kpvpb4f

i agree with the other guy, too symmetrical

How do you into game ideas? I already know programming and working with SDL

clyp.it/qwkoaczk hire me

you can always make a throwaway gmail account you fucking dolt

i swear everyone in this godforsaken site is underage or retarded

it's a pastry

>I'd assume simplistic meant a proverbial brown cylinder and green sphere.
Not that simplistic but close. Just a simple trunk made out of a subdivided square and leaves are just a bunch of planes cobbled together.
No clue how AO works but I'll look into it.
Gonna re-do the texture again too, with more randomness. I'm sick of doing it again but I don't really have a choice. Probably going to make it look more like the first idea I had, on the left.
Thanks lads.

That's still verifying the email dumdum

I'm looking to make a fairly simple little RPG. Is Gamemaker 1 suitable for this?

Any good guides on using it, or do I not even need to bother with that since my idea is so bread and butter.
Also I'm not looking to sell it, just a fangame, so I'm not above just pirating whatever.

Oh uh, this is my combat model by the by.

RPGMaker is the ultimate in "just a fangame" "fairly simple little" RPGs. GM would be the next step up from that, which would require more work but give you more flexibility.

----[ Recap ]----
Game: A Smol RPG
Dev: polisummer
Tools: Blender, Unity, GIMP, Aseprite
Web: polisummer.itch.io/a-smol-rpg-demo-day-xiii-build
Progress:
+ added an x to indicate item counts
+ working on descriptions on hover for items
+ added another weapon
+ redoing magic effects
+ reducing screens needed to click through in battle

Just like make game.

Or hire an idea guy

>Combat Math
come back when you have math combat.

2 hours left in agdg 72 hour game jam. It's crunch time.

Sounds good then.
I kinda wanted to make it similar to Earthbound, and it will be anyways in design choice aside from the combat. I'd make the combat work the same way too, but I don't think GM or RPG Maker can emulate that can they?

I know more about EB's story than its combat, but I'm told it has some kind of timing mechanic involved? GM could manage that, RPGMaker I really have no clue (though there is a general specifically for RPGMaker that you could ask, should you decide to go that route).

I've been using unreal engine for a couple years now; is unity honestly easier to work with ?

either way i'm not gonna switch over because i only know c++.

Earthbound has a rolling HP Bar and yeah, there's the timing to the music to do more damage. I'm less interested in the latter, and more in the former. You can take fatal damage, but as long as you pop a healing item or spell, or end the combat before the HP rolls to 0, the damage will stop.

Where should I put my efforts if I can't art, learning vector art or pixel art?

It starts 9 days before itch's so there's time to make a game for each jam

testing out some passive reactive behaviour.

Bad pixel art usually has better reception. But please learn to art.

Uh
No?
Why do you think loli = porn?

>implying you're going to make 2 loli games
you're just going to make 1 and then put out a censored demo

There's three reasons I'd use Unity over Unreal:
C# - Blueprints are a pain
Enlighten - Semi-dynamic GI > Baked GI
Mobile - UE4 has huge file sizes and limited mobile support esp for 3d games

STOP BULLYING HIM
STOP IT

because he's a fucking retard
the jam page plainly states the submissions cannot be of sexual character

...

My question stands, gogem. Or do you trust UB more than Wikipedia?

>newfags unironinically responding to it
wew

hey what's that

Polish the fuck out of it and it has some potential.

wikipedia also points to lolicon

dumb kusoge downvote this scum away from my quality video game service

just kidding

wiki's page for Germany points to Hitler
Guess Germans are all nazis

the shit i put this guy through on a day to day basis he's probably going to get me for it.
