You can let out what you've been holding in.

PHI, you're doing gods work!

Ideas guys, I’d like your help.

I’ve just got a new job, which means all that time in the evenings I had to spend on self improvement to get that job, is finally free! Now I can get on and do what I’ve wanted to do for ages, and make some vidya.

The idea I’ve had for a while, is to make a “sports management sim”-like game, akin to things like championship manager. But have it based around running a MMO-PvE guild. While setting up teams to do raid progress is the bulk of the focus, I plan to include a lot of bullshit and drama that you get from a guild. Dealing with lootwhores, the husband/wife combination of players where the wife is just TERRIBLE, but if you drop her, you’ll lose the husband.

So, I’ve got to come up with my own made-up MMO, and I’m looking for some ideas off you guys to add to my own.

Classes – I’d like to branch out a little from just the “Warrior/Mage/priest” types
Stats – Looking for stats not just for the “characters”, but the “person” playing the character. So shit like “persistence” and “initiative”
Traits – Traits are quirks that each of your guildies have, they can be both positive and negative. For instance “Female(Male)” has a chance to bring down the moral of a random Male guildie.

ok gogem

STOP

the board is still blue, cant change that.

...

so gogem, other than you who is participating your loli jam?

>your loli jam
whoa what? it's AGDGs loli jam.
and you can go check the archive if you want an answer, im busy with dev.

what a sad post
it's okay gogem, I understand

Alright, fuck that shit. After realizing that I don't really want a vulnerable web server running at home I made a twitch account like user recommended in the last thread, so here's my first pathetic little unity project (followed a tutorial, but added score handling myself). Could anybody give it a quick spin to check if it werks? Takes just a few sec. Thanks. Just curious if it runs on other systems, though there should be no reason why not.

rh73.itch.io/pongtest

it's not there. are you sure you published the page ?

didn't publish on purpose, thought the link would be enough.

That model reminds me of some 90s PC game, but I can't put my finger on it...

Nice work though.

Just a heads up that Amnesia Fortnight 2017 is happening now (at least the first part of it). I've personally really enjoyed seeing the videos they've put out in the past and getting a glimpse into some game dev process at Double Fine. If nothing else, they are at least very creative folks.

it works
the pure black and white is actually p aesthetic
pro strat is to hit the ball with the side of your paddle to trigger the scoring several times

How's your progress, user-kun? Did you do a lot of work lately?

It's working for me, but your scoring system is a little wonky if you manage to get the ball stuck between a paddle and a wall, or if you hit it from the side of your paddle.

Trying to find workflow for looking at what parts of a game i should work on. A big part of the game will be menues and management, but i figure ill start with combat since thats fun and where the work from management is supposed to culminate. Sort of.

Tried researching other answers. First results were by nodevs and zoe quinn... didnt she only ever make a overly simple text-based?

Can i get yesdev input on where to focus time or some articles from decent devs on it? Im using game maker

Current thought: movement, interaction, basic combat come first followed by intense menues

lol if you hit the ball from the side when its near an edge, you can knock it out of the game.

Thanks a lot for testing. And yeah I know, the scoring system is crap. You should only get points for hitting the other player's back wall, the respawn the ball and so on. Just started with getting into Unity 4.6 yesterday, and most of it is from a tutorial anyways. Right now I only wanted to test the workflow, get it online and verify that other people can run it.

Really? Didn't happen for me so far, and to be honest I have no clue what I should do about it (except for checking if the ball is out of bounds) - must be a fuckup of Unity's collision system, maybe the ball is getting too fast when you bounce it between paddle and your own back wall. Thanks for the heads up.

>he makes 3D games
Enjoying wasting 10years from your life in the end realising you've done a shitty messy nu3d game with muh-poly graphics?

Ultimately it's up to you how/where you want to spend your time. But it's pretty normal to start with the actual game elements and preliminary debug controls, then add "boring" stuff like menus, loading/saving maps etc later on, sometimes even shortly before releasing.

Enjoying wasting your time with shitposting, kiddo?

All this loli talk makes me wonder whatever happened to loli sim dev.

I assume he was arrested

>replying
guess who's the one wasting time

Waiting for a build to finish, I got time to waste.

...

Are my settings ok with this shit agdg?

>he doesn't use unity builds

>paying for unity services

>he doesn't know what a unity build is

It's a Unity feature, so it's either worthless or completely broken.

...

How can I find a game dev girlfriend agdg?

>gamedev girl
lol

...

it has nothing to do with the Unity engine you retard, it's a compilation strategy for C/C++ projects

does she have large breasts

no, quite the opposite

it's fascinating how nature is able to use bright pigmentation and skin markings to warn that a creature is highly venomous and should be avoided at all costs

do you have eyes, Jaden?

I meant gamedev girl not a shitty myspace tier text adventure making wanna be.

Seriously she doesn't make "games" they are always web page tier shit.

Just like my chinese cartoon nipples

Would a platformer with ASCII graphics work?

I was installing with yum and the little hash marks filling up the loading bar made me wonder if anything else than a rogue-like or a strictly tile based game would be possible.

I'm not related to will smith

but the thing is, that on her shirt in the red part it looks bulging, but on her chest, its like flat and no lines

so I'm thinking, maybe she has such modest breasts, and then is wearing an immodest shirt with it that girls dont normally do and that is what that look is or then again, maybe they really are big but then this part about the chest below the neckline is just the camera angle or a bodyfat thing?

>tfw still no dev to work with

guess ill try again tomorrow

what work you do?

Oh that work, sorry not interested

lolol you just got memed on i'm such an agdagger

it's possible but it'd take a lot of fine-tuning

the issue is that ascii games are effectively very low "resolution" since individual characters basically act as pixels, so you'd need to figure out strategies to deal with that

probably a padded (or stuffed, even) bra

the number of successful collaborations coming out of agdg is roughly zero, just work by yourself

relate it to gamedev - xtreme lingerie salesmen: estimate and guess bra sizes against the clock

its a waste of time, i learned game maker for 3 years only to drop it completely to do 3D games and learn unity but i dont have it in me to waste my team learning another engine when i should focus on art

i dont even care about getting compensated

yeah, make the character the @ symbol

and then when you fall down a hole its an @hole

you could have words be the objects like

so just stick with what you know, what's with the pointless engine-switching

So where's your portfolio?

Is there anything game maker can't do within the realm of 2D?

I already have a reasonable grasp of gamemaker. As my scope grows however and I'm looking into making more of an actual -game- rather than a few tutorials mashed together, the looming $100 price tag keeps inching closer.
I suppose $100 isn't a huge amount to expect to pay on a hobby

why pay? just use the free version

Reminder that gogem.pro thinks the term "loli" is inherently pornographic.

Don't work with an idiot.

> caring about irrelevant crap

No wonder you don't have a game.

Why'd you turn your name off? Too ashamed when people expose your idiocy?

...

post yfw your game gains 100 downloads

>tfw frankensteining code for 6 hours
A-as long as it works, right?

if gogem thinks that he isn't too far off the mark

is there non-pornographic loli art? sure
does it mean lolifags aren't creepy predators who deserve the rope? no

Is it possible to declare global constants in GMS 2.0? Or macros as I've seen them called before

Limited resources.

Turn your name back on, idiot.

...

ok fine. do you have any argument that proves loli isnt just porn?

What are these 'resources' ? Legit question.
t. nodev

is this porn?

that isnt loli

Post list of your thoughtcrimes, and we'll decide how many ropes you deserve. And yes, you DO have a list and you DO deserve the rope. Don't even try to deny it.

Fucking hell, i've been here for less than a month and i gotta say - never change man, you're making this board 10 times more enjoyable to read with how wrong you are all the time.

You can only have a max of 10 sprites, 20 objects, 2 scripts, 3 rooms, shit like that.
A resource is essentially a sprite/object/sound/background/font

>reddit-chan
>loli
hmmmm

Concentrated incartation of the loli term isn't loli now? Are you that much retarded?

but im not wrong, where's your argument? also where's your game?

LOWPOLY
MODELS

yoursuba is a loli
is this porn?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolicon
>The term lolicon is a portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex";[1] it describes an attraction to young or prepubescent girls, an individual with such an attraction, or lolicon manga or lolicon anime, a genre of manga and anime wherein childlike female characters are often depicted in an "erotic-cute" manner (also known as ero kawaii), in an art style reminiscent of the shōjo manga (girls' comics) style.

again, not loli. when will you learn?

>is this porn?
yes - just look at the way she's moving her body

again with this? you're never gonna learn anything

ok how about this, find me 5 (FIVE) instances where loli is used as an abbreviation of lolicon. Protip: you can't cite wikipedia

too bad, cause she's called a loli IN THE SAME FUCKING SHOW BY THE OTHER CHARACTERS
>b-but japanese mangaka don't know what a loli is, I do!!
get fucked gogem

>Lolicon
>people talking about lolis

You do realize it's not the same thing, right?

Reminder that people who obsess over namefags are the equivalent of people who buy and read these

Why should anyone care about what pedowiki says? Everyone use word "loli" in the meaning "little girl" and no one cares what mentally challenged think about it.

Will you pander your game to the SJW audience?

you seem to form strong opinions about things that you know very little about.

>when you overdose on stockholm syndrome

that's all he knows how to do
he also makes 'games' while boasting about not playing games

why do people try to pass off their bizarre obsession with little girls as just a benign appreciation of children's innocence or whatever? are they so incapable of self-reflection that they don't realize how obvious it is?

normal, healthy people don't collect gigabytes of drawings of little girls

>thoughtcrime
you're retarded, I'm talking about people who pose an actual threat to children (because pedophiles have proven numerous times that they are completely untrustworthy and that there is no such thing as a pedophile who would never harm a child). other kinds of weirdos are harmless by comparison so long as they keep it to themselves

This article is bait right?

finally got around to fix the chins on the female characters a bit and experiment with different haircuts
