Hello anons, I've been working on a JRPG/eroge game. I have a question and I wonder if anyone went through something similar.
I can handle the coding fine but it's obviously the art who's my biggest bottleneck. The dream would be to hire artists do the assets for the project. I was thinking about going monk mode for a year or two, saving as much as possible and then look for artists. I'm studying art at the same time on the side but I highly doubt I would be able to make CGs good enough for the genre by myself.

Do you guys feel like this is reasonable plan? Anyone who went through something similar?

That looks fun. I got to the point where I added NPCs into my game, and was just controlling them around in the console too, wondering if I could make a game out of it. I guess the answer was yes.

can your indie game reach success if it's carried by characters and worldbuilding even if the game itself is nothing new or spectacular
it's the only cope I have left

Keep your world building and story secret. Just give them a tiny window into it, leave them with more questions than answers. PRIMARILY MAKE THE GAME FUN TO PLAY.

I worked on my pong templates last night and a few small bug fixes on Donald. More Donald today, then I need to set up my brothers PC so he can bug report and test for me. I'm logging his hours in game, and deducting $15 an hour from what he owes me.

>>549555131
He'd do it for free though, he's already trying to get the high score, and called me a "cheater" at my own game when I showed him what the optimal score pattern is based on the current scoring logic.

>>549548446
I am what you are trying to do, but two years later.

I made money and have been developing my own game for two years (i have money for other year).

My biggest piece of advice is to make the game as simple as possible.

In my case, I made the mistake of assuming that player statistics, different bullets, different enemies, creating a drag-and-drop system, a store, saving money, etc. were “basic” things for my game.

It's been two years, and I think it's going to be a complete failure.
I'm continuing because I hope to recover something, but I don't have high expectations.

And no, I have no idea how to make the art look good.
At least I've stopped feeling that my game has a remarkable visual appearance.

How do you even get started on trying to make music? Music theory is arcane and all the software is expensive and confusing.
What software do you use? FL, tracker software, garageband?

music theory is 99% shit you don't know.

Just learn how chords sound next to each other in the circle of fifths, and learn how intervals and modes sound.

Then learn basic EDM sound types like what is the bass, the drum kit, the lead, the SFX, the ambient and pad and pluck.

And then learn that you need to put 4 voices, 1 drum kit, 1 ambient / pad, 1 main lead, 1 counter lead, 1 chord, 1 pluck.

And then learn song structures, like what is an intro, what is a coda, what is a verse, bridge and chorus and solo.

The rest is just copy a lot the songs you like using some free MIDI.

And then compose a lot.

Just make something that sounds good to you. Just pirate FL and some synths that has the sound you want and you're good to go.

Pirated FL studio. Then essentially just downloaded a retarded amount of instruments and began by trying to recreate (by ear) some ancient game tracks, then did small spins on those, and ultimately a couple of bad original tracks.
Ended up making 5 decent tracks for my demo (no one complained about their inclusion, at least). Didn't spend a single second learning the fundamentals/theory.
>>
>>549556543
Literally all you need is a slip of paper to go above the keys. These charts look more complex than they need, but it's just the same finger positions moving up and down the keyboard. I saw someone demonstrate it on a Youtube short, I should have saved it.

I've played bass for 20 years, I compose the song in my head, it's faster for me to map all the instruments on a keyboard. I just use my PC keyboard.

>>549557297
Hey at least my full game has a drag-n-drop that accepts .mp3, .flac, .opus etc to replace the individual tracks with some shitty optional ambient/combat blending.
Just like put your own music into the game.

>>549554612
But unity is just as easy. I decompile unity games all the time.

I came up with the bass line and melody part of some of my songs in the shower. Got out, wrote them down, and moved on with my day. Just like programming, everything is easier when you know the basics.
>>
>>549557661
That is an acceptable compromise. I'm doing the same thing with tracker files (.xm, .mod, etc) in my demo because I'm not using any of my music.
