>tfw don't subscribe to the notion that video games are art but want to make arthouse games
This is really conflicting for me
Elijah Gomez
So what? Just make the game you want to make. If it's art or if it's not art, who cares?
Aiden Collins
>tfw don't subscribe to the notion that reposting is good but want to repost my retarded statement from the last thread
This is really conflicting for me
Ethan Davis
it's not that video games aren't art, it's that art isn't for video games: if you want to make a game for artistic purposes, it probably isn't going to be good.

Okay, say that to Shadow of the Colossus, killer7, MGS2, and the countless number of arthouse games that are good.
Christopher Richardson
Reminder that you are sharing this thread with a straight up wacko who's making a game about raping children. Now stop asking yourself why no one wants to be associated with /agdg/
Caleb White
here's an aesthetics question
let's say I want to have a 'mygameopedia', which would basically just be a big document the player could navigate to find information about in-game terms and such. I'm thinking like how the Civ games have their little encyclopedia, or how Mount and Blade has one for all the characters/locations and such in the game.
Would it be better to put this somewhere out of the way, like in the esc menu, or to make it obvious by providing buttons everywhere that would send you to the relevant page? Having extra buttons everywhere that can open extra screens sounds really cluttery, but a lot of games I liked used it so I'm tempted to go that route.
Luis Thomas
Good damn, wyg
Jason Morales
Dedicate a button to opening your encyclopedia when you want to know something about an object/an npc/an animal etc.
Owen Allen
Here.
Happy now?
Oliver Cooper
a pokedex?
Jeremiah Ortiz
The people that defend him disturb me a lot more. I doubt any actual devs defend him but still.
Julian Moore
Sorta, yeah.
Thomas Lewis
No one cares. No one cares that you post on Veeky Forums. No one cares that a pedophile posts on Veeky Forums. You're not going to become a pedophile because a pedophile posts on Veeky Forums.
Stop obsessing over this retarded shit and just like make your game.
Hudson Ward
I got away with posting progress here since I've only been using placeholders but now my game is identifiable. Where should I post my progress now if I want to avoid being associated with /agdg/ but still want feedback?
Ian Anderson
You can't anymore, your career is already over. Game over man. Game over.
Jaxson Allen
>You're not going to become a pedophile because a pedophile posts on Veeky Forums. That's not the issue, it's that these things come to bite you in the ass if you ever come close to making it, especially since the thread is full of obsessive shitposters
Lucas King
What game?
Isaac Campbell
>avoid being associated with /agdg/ you shouldn't browse or post here if your iq is this low
Juan Jones
Never happened ever.
Grayson Watson
No, the issue is that the pedodev should go see a psychiatrist for his potentially dangerous mental disorder instead of shitting up /agdg/ with his deviancy.
Jackson Young
Why doesn't the risk of rain dev post here anymore?
Nicholas Long
Oh yeah. I forgot that Risk of Rain completely flopped and literally no one bought it because they posted on Veeky Forums.
Also remember that time "Good Night Knight" got a super popular post on Reddit? It was on the front page. Someone was spamming the thread saying the dev is from Veeky Forums and he's a racist. He was downvoted to hell and everyone told him to post proof or fuck off.
No one cares.

Give the egg some geometry, add an edge loop in the soup. That way you can get jiggle physics.

Owen Bailey
What is that?
Cameron Nguyen
why the fuck would you put fried egg on top of soup
You already got your answer Oh wait, you didn't actually want an answer did you? You just wanted to start a shitposting train?
Jose Thomas
Depends on the type of game
Chase Rivera
whichever one allows for actual gameplay
Austin Lee
I care because I could be using my resources to tell my story in a medium that's recognized as art.
William Kelly
For what purpose?
Aaron Brooks
i'm an auteur
Blake Morales
What the fuck are you talking about? You're the one creating the story. You decide which medium is best suited for the story you want to tell.
Colton Torres
Translator's note: auteur means faggot
Jace Lopez
Tab target is a boring compromise between turn based and real time that feels like a limitation of both.
Oliver Miller
Those games weren't made for the sake of being artistic though, they were made to be games.
Alexander Sanders
shhhh, artfags are the superior beings so they know exactly every intention that was at the origin of everything ever produced

I need to release my game as open soars, but i need a license that limits it as much as possible, basically "look but don't touch" (legally anyway) what license is the best one here?
Jose Bailey
beerware license
Landon Torres
Release the source without any licensing?
Oliver Hernandez
>I need to release my game as open soars hello, what meme is this?
Isaiah Peterson
I want the player to have the choice between a decent amount of units but they have to select a small party with different strengths vs what they're up against, with positioning being a part of the combat. Trouble is there's multiple ways you can go with that and I keep finding myself comparing to other games. If I make it turn based I think of darkest dungeon, so then I feel forced to add in other stuff to make sure what im doing is different to that, which is how I end up like this with no ideas because i'm scared anything I do is too close to someone elses idea.
Of course that's irrelevant because it only really matters if your game makes it big, yet here we are.
Chase Mitchell
tldrlegal.com/ find one you like, but I wouldn't call what you are doing 'open source' since there's connotations there.
Jaxon Miller
he's been getting more annoying about it too. more and more he just comes here now trying to promote/justify his disorder. I'm so sick of him.

Everything humans do is art. An 'artist' is just an human consciously creating. No one is fit to play gatekeeper here. No one gets to say what is art and what is not.
Jaxson Rogers
modern art and everything you just said was a mistake
Easton Wilson
This is exactly my own definition of art. Thank you for posting it.
Ayden Gomez

William James
He's right though
Benjamin Mitchell
I just wanna learn 2D should I ditch unity ?
Levi Ortiz
The basic meaning of art aka artificial is that mother nature didn't manage to come up with it on her own.
John Lee
just go to /ic/ and make a horny VN
Angel Jackson
God is the one who invented art when He created us, so it's not like art is just an arbitrary thing. I think video games can be art depending on the effort and intent put into it by the maker.
Joshua Bell
Unity is perfectly suitable for 2D. If you want less overhead, try XNA or Löve.
James White
There is no God here today.
Asher Martinez

this, the classical definition of art is basically just "skilled trade". baking bread was a art, trolling was a art, etc
it referring only to namby pamby bullshit is a modern change

Is it common for companies to hire modders? Sometimes I think that it's best to just make a mod, since building a game with any engine will require you to make all the mechanics from scratch. Plus, companies will probably benefits from having people that know their in-house technologies.
Joshua Flores
Modding is not game dev. Companies obviously know this. No one has ever been hired from the modding """"community"""". Just like make game.
Wyatt Bennett
>Is it common for companies to hire modders? Yes, if you're good.
t. worked in the industry for years.

You're so wrong that I wonder if you're retarded or just trolling. Popular modders get hired all the time.
Just to name one recent example, the guy who is the lead programmer for Terraria's Otherworld was one of the most popular Terraria modder.
Aiden Nguyen
do you really want to work for someone who would hire modders?
