/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

Man, some people are hella talented

Is there an engine that I can easily make a fancy text adventure in?

Unity

Are you referring to something in particular?

send help

You forgot this, user-kun-senpai-family-bro.

itch.io/jam/agdg-loli-jam-2017

wut

I agree with Unity. What's wut about it?

Yes but do not trust multiline code without brackets, that's just asking for trouble.
Limit the first case to 1 statement at most.

he didn't forget anything you turd

>loli

well, that excludes half the people who can't draw

nth for KEYMASTER

What about the other half of the people who can't draw?

Godot

Yes, but the fact that you had to ask means you really should be using the clearer version.

...

What's wrong with Loli Jam?

Understandable tutorial agdg?

That's ok. I'd love to collab on a monstergirl game if you're interested.

You need to take an art class and learn the concept of flow, m8. And no, the prompts are awful and un-readable.

command prompt

What the fuck. I literally have 0 clue what any of the signs are even remotely supposed to mean. I honestly believe that a user would more quickly learn the game if there was nothing.

What games inspire you besides Nintendo stuff?

Just have been playing indie games for a month or so. Never actually played an indietitle before, I think. Lethal League, bunch of WadgetEye games, Stardew Valley, Undertale, Oxenfree, Don't Starve. I couldn't even imagine that small teams can pull off things like these.

I can code, I even work as a programmer, but watching indie scene made me sit in awe. Like, damn, how do I make something like this. Guess I'll try Ludum Dare

You must be 18 or older to browse this site.

Nothing but nintendo stuff inspires bokudev.

no

Cool!

Gay men inspire me thats why Bokube is so gay.

...

Make a game about a loli that can't draw and justify your bad art

But I thought you were an alt-right nazi.

clearly not the dev.

I just realized that long ago I implemented support for animations on wall destruction, but never really tested it. I made some simple particles and it's a lot better now. Stones need some friction though.

says who

jesus how tick are you.
if you going to rip off the Nintendo art style at least some some of their level design too, one of the best things about nintendo games is how they introduce new game mechanics in the form of the simplest possible version of the puzzle in a safe space. not a shit ton of enemies and mazes with giant billboards that has some scribbles on them

Those are some nice super missiles m8

Nice Terraria clone.

Sweet as always.

>failure option but no real danger
>removing the training wheels with danger

I'm your clone.

>no lewd stuff
Well, there goes three days of work

>implying you had anything in the first place

I've always wanted laser nipples

IMMA MAKE A HALO CLONE AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME

Loli is fucking disgusting but you know you don't have to host on itch?

>Loli is fucking disgusting

does anybody need some reasonably priced music in whatever style you want? and/or does anybody have any constructive criticism for my music?

>no webm section
fake and gay

What are your rates? I might need something like this soon, and your music is great.
Are you okay with having your work in an h-game?

Do you prefer it over arm-long laser dick?
I wish I had gif of that.

The aspergers in me doesn't like being looked at when he shoots upward

>egg catch
PETA won't be pleased about this

>Enemies can shoot me now.
Damn, I didn't realise they were so many before.

Is it bad practice to copy a sprite in general form, but make it your own? Different hair/clothes/everything.

I feel like it's kind of shitty and cheap, but at the same time there are only so many ways you can draw a small pixel art character.

Pic somewhat related, although not what I'm looking to copy. Just a similar size/style.

Bad form among developers or among potential customers? If the former, fuck yes. If the latter, it's a crapshoot.

That's how I ended up making my new character sprite initially. It isn't cheap if you understand the style enough to then make more sprites off of it.

>tracing a sprite meant for a 160 x 144 screen in 2017
just stop

I just noticed, does Red have tits?

really impressive

did you model those ships?

i was aiming for $30 for a single track of a few minutes, but all depends on what you'd like.

h-games are fine - it means i get to play some to get inspiration...

Developers. Say then you were making a game in a similar size/style to Pokemon (just to use the above character as an example). How would you go about making your character then? There are only so many pixels to work with.Would you make your character look worse for the sake of not being the same shape as Red there?

>h-game
POST YOUR PROGRESS!!

link to your porn game / dev blog

What if you use similar animation timing but redrawn images?

I like your stuff man

Gonna favorite you so I can get in touch later

how do i tap the undertale and homestuck communities where people will literally throw music at me? i dont want to pay someone.

be a part of those communities?
analyze and reverse engineer what hs and undertale did well and build your own cancerous fanbase?

so like the reverse of what gogem is doing

Hey guys I need help with GM1.4

I want a 2D sidescroller with a dash function like the megaman x series. Tap Dash button, dash for a while then stop automatically. But the alarm function isn´t working:

Here is my relevant code:

create event:grav=0.2;
hsp = 0;
vsp =0;
jumpspeed = 4;
movespeed = 4;
dashspeed = 10;
candash = false;
alarm[1] = room_speed*3;

step event:
key_right = keyboard_check(vk_right);
key_left = -keyboard_check(vk_left);
key_jump = keyboard_check(vk_space);
move = key_left + key_right;

if (keyboard_check_pressed(ord('A'))&&(candash==false))
{candash=true;}

if (candash == true)
{
grav=0.1;
movespeed=10;
if(vsp

who is gogem and why he is so bad and evil?

Toby was apart of the modding scene for a bit.
You need to acquire a fanbase.
and the shamelessly clone a niche but cult-loved game

his persona is intentionally contrarian and offensive
he has received more some minor success so shitposters are jealous

Holy christ this post. As though Red's sprite is some platonic ideal from which any deviation eschews perfection. If I wanted to make a game that looked the same as Pokemon Red but different then I would rip off Red's sprite, but I wouldn't set out with that initial goal because that's fucking stupid. It's one thing if you somehow coincidentally wind up with a sprite that's extremely similar to another due to limited dimensions, but it is entirely another thing to use that sprite as a reference and then claim that similarity was inevitable not because you were using it as a reference, but because of limited dimensions. If I'm a big fan of Frank Quietly or Sam Keith and some of their style inevitably ends up in my work because it inspired me then that's fine, but if I skip learning the fundamentals of illustration and anatomy and just pull up some of their illustrations to copy because "that's the style I want" then it's substantially less forgivable.

Develop your own style or come up with excuses for copying old GBC sprites, I really couldn't give less of a fuck because any with your attitude is unlikely to produce anything of value either way.

>minor success
so successful he makes less than min wage

pander shamelessly
>fan art
>casual references to community in-jokes and appropriate positive responses to similar trash
>an inoffensive internet persona
>reposting and reblogging community stuff (with a reference to your requests near the bottom etc)
>make sure your game falls into the 'zelda' 'mother' 'pokemon' or to a lesser extent 'Yume Nikki' group of videogames

basically don the mask of cancer until you are the cancer.
Expect this process to be draining on your creativity and crippling to deving and ultimately pointless as targeting fanbases doesn't really work in practice and its far more effective to just make game and then see what people offer

same user.

Here is the code on pastebin with syntax highlight:

pastebin.com/2xVAxizP

my problem is that after I press dash, the character just stays on dashspeed.

1. you never set your alarm ever again, it just runs once then never again
2. why would you want to stop your dash periodically like this, independently of key presses, making the player have to adapt to some kind of arbitrary global timer
you should read up on how alarms actually work because what's in your head right now is probably disconnected from reality

is there an infamous agdg dev wiki? i would like to read articles on gogem, rotatedev, gwendev, etc.

whatever happened to gwendev? they get chased off?

so successful that he is one of the known personalities here

i don't want to be part of the gogem defense team. i wouldn't trade places with him. he's gone down a pretty bad path. BUT! if you can't see the success he has here you are blind

>wikis
this is an oral tradition, friend

is gwendev gwyndev? diest is still around, posted last week. michaelvandiest.itch.io/

Decided to go with new tutorial UI that appear at the bottom of the screen to teach the player the controls during these first four tutorial levels instead of my shitty drawings.

but if I set my alarm in step doesn´t it just reload everytime I do something?

And for 2. I want my dash like this youtu.be/wd2NqblSmIY?t=13m51s

>new

nice meme

remember when gogem got into a huge fight over rng?

His detective game idea is still my favorite argument hole hes dug

screencaps?

favorite font?
