That should be doable in 3 months. What's stopping you?

Trying to discuss game dev on /v/ is useless, fags here will just bitch about a random game engine being "woke" or genuinely believe you should make your very own engine before you even learn the basics of game dev and get some experience.

Just use a modern game engine like game maker or unity man. You'll have an easier time. Yeah it's obviously bloat but at least everything is as streamlined and documented as possible for the needs of a solodev.

There's no reason aside from nostalgia bait or technological curiosity to use antiquated console engines. One could argue to use certain parts, like the colour palette or some parallax techniques. Fringe cases ignored, there is literally 0 reason.

Yeah the citadel games are fucking classic billboard sprite shooters but in unreal engine for whatever reason. No one honestly gives a fuck, you do what you want so you can ship a game if it's easier.

should've said "maybe" it's overkill, but it's a good engine so it doesn't matter

I'd say the only reasons to care is if you're aiming for very small filesize and don't want your NES game to have 80MB of dll bloat, want it to run on super old hardware, or something along those lines.

>>740153501
I mean if you care about it, from artistic perspective. For example if your assets are less than 4MB in total, then maybe you do care about keeping the entire exe around that size.

How come game development takes so much time? Like how are devs able to do a game so quickly in a game jam compared to normal devs? Wouldn't it be possible to reduce normal dev time with the same strategies?

>>740153786
Also, asset reuse. Jammers will often have premade drag-and-drop assets such as a main menu, state controllers, dialogue box backend, etc etc. It's a lot easier to make a game in 3 days if you've done a hundred of them before and know what you can reuse.

>>740154273
It really is. Never even considered 3D desu. Has anyone ever made a 3D game with it?

>>740154569 (Me)
and professional companies will just buy assets to achieve the same goal

Also, jam games are usually very simple and repetitive, while proper games are expected to have more width to them. You don't expect 20 fleshed out levels out of a jam game, or five different character classes, or 10 different guns.
They'll spend one day getting the mechanics right (again, experience helps nailing it faster), and then whatever time's left is spent on churning out content, a tutorial, and tying things together.

>>740153786
Making systems is easy. 90% of the time goes into assets and design.

>>740153586
Sure. Fringe cases. I toyed a little with actual(?) snes engines and must say it's not worth the effort if you just want to make a good retro game. Cases as prior excluded.

Because it's the content that takes the longest.

Ideally code wise it's an investment, the more you do the more you have. I personally have a repo filled with useful systems that are well made and close to drag and drop.

I've got turn based systems, state machines, grid movement in 2d/3d, questing, grid based inventory, enemy ai that does melee, enemy ai that does ranged attacks, dev tooling and a lot of niche stuff that are just nice to have.
All of it made by me, I know how it all works and it takes me no effort to put together.

In a couple of hours, I could put together a 3d game with enemy wizards that spawn skeleton archers with a quest to kill 3 skeletons, purely from my repo. That's how you do stuff fast in game jams, you have a library of tools that you can literally just drop in, no need to think about or debug the overlying systems it relies on.


Whereas a normal game involves thinking about what systems you need, writing it (and making it fairly reusable personally), figuring out how it fits all together. And then the biggest time sink, content creation.

Art, music, levels and balancing them is what takes the most time. It's why game jams are completely unbalanced, have little content/relies on rng content and use asset packs. The real time sinks are the content.

>>740156556
Oh so you cheat

>>740156621

>>740156621
It's not cheating unless the game jam says you have to write all the code for the jam, in which case I just wouldn't join it because it's clearly badly run. Making people rewrite code they've already wrote is retarded.
If you're making a game jam and you're limiting everything created to the timeframe you're asking for half of the jams time to just be spent remaking existing work, and that's under the assumption that everyone is telling the truth or not. You're going to get a bunch of horrible sounds, music, art and or gameplay as the result. It's a waste of your time hosting it.

>>740157059
I've wrote all of mine, personally I think this route is better since I know what it can and can't do without having to figure out someone else's solution, on top of having to trust it works properly.

For me I just pick a game and start making a replication of it's systems.
Take Alien Hominid, you have a character which can be used to made a state machine, enemies with their own state machine and basic ai, enemy spawners, vehicles, platforms you can jump up/down through and boss fights. These are pretty independent systems where you can write them to be basically drag and drop, with that you can easily adapt it to make a Mario like game, Super Meat Boy and so on.

It's a time investment but it's one that compounds and it really helps with getting prototypes setup for concepts.

>>740153786
>Wouldn't it be possible to reduce normal dev time with the same strategies?
A lot of people have said content and this is true. But a lot of systems need proper architecture to scale. Let's say i have a game with 3 different enemies. I can very easily just have 3 unique scripts to handle all of their behaviors. If i scale this up it will eventually become an unmanageable mess. If i need to make a fundamental change then I need to change x number of scripts.

This is why writing maintainable code is so important. It's probably one of the most important things to keep in mind when coding in my opinion, besides DRY and performance.

In my typical day job as web developer, I've met both morons and smart people who would rather rush out code than take the time to do it proper despite the amount of minutes saved typically being low, even assuming you will never have to touch the code again, which is rare. One of my least favorite quirks to deal with at work, tbqh, cause it almost always comes to bite you in the ass later.

At my last job the other front-end dev just rushed through everything because of constant pressure, actually, while I just took it a bit easier which I believe is part of the reason why they let me go. The boss once got upset with me because I was "taking too long" to make a site when the fucking marketers never told me how many hours they charged the fucking client for. Of course the site had a custom design made by a professional designer, not one of our templates, and needed a lot of custom functionality to implement all the features we promised them, so if they had just *asked* I would've told them I'd charge the client for 60 hours rather than 30. You gotta make it quick, but also make it in a specific, inconvenient way in WordPress with a shitty theme and don't forget to give it a lot of spit and polish because the client is important and we need to keep their business. God, the fucking IT industry sometimes.

You mf. That's exactly how it should be done. Skipping optimization and proper content you can make games in weeks. Will do that. When going for this it's also easier to create actual clones
M. If I want to make a game that feels like sm2 and sm yoshis island, I'll just clone them and during documentation I'll get an intimate knowledge of their mechanics and systems. Reminds me of the making of streets of rage 4. They played sor 4 and sor 1 together so that they can make final adjustments. Clever mf.

>>740162047
I don't skip over optimisation, I actually focus optimisation when I'm making my systems so that when I make a project, I know that the shit I brought over are already as optimised as I can get them. My workflow is making it work, making it work generalised, making sure there's no bugs and then optimising it. I also have a bunch of testing tools for performance and checking compatibility when I update the engine so that I can see what's failing and why making it easier to port to new updates.
If I have optimisation problems, I want to know if it's because I've put too much shit in, I've used the shit wrong or it's the new shit. By optimising what I bring to different projects I cut down where I have to look for problems.

>Pays off eventually
It's also a good way to pay off projects you want to abandon. I have a grid based combat system from a game I gave up on because instead of wasting all that time I decided to take and save whatever I could.

It was more a modding platform. The point of it was going to be that you create a ruleset, easily create custom boards, units, scenarios, campaigns and you can mix and match them. So you could make a medieval mod and fight against a Warhammer 40k team from a mod.
An online platform for tabletop gaming essentially.

Quit it because the engine Godot can be easily used to upload viruses through mods since mods can call Engine, OS and HTTP calls. It didn't feel right centring a modding platform around something that can easily be manipulated. A simple unit mod could easily include code to download something from a random server and use my games permissions to run it. Just felt uneasy about it.

Still useful for myself. All that custom tooling can be used to make a game from. Just not interested in making content for it.

Guy-working-on-a-GBC-zelda-clone here.
To go with the theme of being a wandering sage, I thought about adding some method of helping NPCs that you encounter in various areas.
I kind of thought about it like how Minish Cap has you collect the Kinstone parts to unlock new stuff, mainly in the main village. For my purposes, it would be collecting ingredients from certain areas and enemies to create collectables like nonusable potions to give to NPCs to heal ailments or to unblock paths. Say a guy has a tummy ache, and you need to kill some mandrakes and sandworms or cut grass somewhere. Or there's some thicc as fucc vines that need a plant killer potion to unblock a path. Perhaps also need to defeat certain bosses first (and thus collect a permanent trophy that is needed for certain potions).
But people would probably hate this kind of grind, right?

>>740173252
Is it sidequest shit or will it block actual progression? I'd also try to avoid making actually useful potions like the plant killer one because people will wish they had it for when they encounter plant enemies or a tree they think is hiding a path etc.

>>740173252
You will need 50 years, maybe more. Mina took 100 years, meaning you will need 20000 years, maybe more.

>>740173419
Sidequest, no blocking story progression. That'd all be tied to the usual tool progression.
And yeah that is true... that is true...

>>740171175
The best workaround would be to make a custom build that doesn't accept HTTP, OS and Engine calls from loaded scenes. But that comes with the side effect of needing to provide my own export templates and compiling the engine myself.
Which is doable, but it's retarded that Godot by default allows that.

If I want custom units, boards, musics, environments and everything I can't stop people from attaching scripts to their scenes or people stealing mods, attaching scripts to them and reuploading them. It's not really my fault if that happens but it's not a good feeling to know that your game could be used to spread viruses.
I've tested it myself before I shelved it and it's very easy to do this, it takes less than 20 lines of code.

It's a decent idea though. Was going to sell for cheap, include some definitely not Warhammer characters, ruleset and campaigns.
If Godot changed the default behaviour today I'd start working on it again.

>But people would probably hate this kind of grind, right?
I know I would, that kind of mission design feels like bloat to me. How about, instead of "kill X mandrakes", there's a special kind of mandrake somewhere that gives you the item you need? You could even have it show up in your inventory (like how in Zelda LA you have items that you have to deliver to some NPCs) or even have the "tamed mandrake" follow you until you reach the NPC that needs it. I believe that last option would have a lot of soul.

>>740173852
Can't you make it with another engine? Maybe some older or niche ones?

>>740173875
Okay, so rolling with that, perhaps interacting with the NPC for instance would trigger a unique monster (even if its just a palette swap with a slightly altered attack rotation/speed/whatever) spawning somewhere specific? "I heard there was some kind of blue screaming plant in the swamps."
Maybe even have it appear as a marker on the map. Hrmm. I'll jot this down either way.

>>740174280
I believe that's way more interesting, even feeling like a small "sub-adventrue" of sorts. Good luck with it anon, your game looks cool.

>>740174126
I could yeah the systems and everything are mostly thought out so it's just translating code at that point. Probably have to rewrite the multiplayer but that was basic since it's a "don't play with friends that cheat" idea.

But Godot is lightweight, quick to launch and my tooling was designed to be easy to use. Any other engine I use would have to be easy for people to use. Battlefield 6 using Godot as their visual editor for map modding goes to show that it's a good engine for non devs to handle.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think for a platform like that you need something very easy to setup and use for non devs. An easy way for someone who's making models to just import them and get them playable with minimal engine overhead.

With how much steam v3 seems to be picking up this year, I'm a bit anxious to how people will respond to our trailer. Put a lot of love, sweat and cum into it, but admittedly the game itself is a bit jank and I think you can tell.

Ah well, we all did our best with it and the song is great at least.

>outlines look better than before. Have you considered adding a P1 and P2 indicators like smash bros does? could help with keeping track of characters (subpicrel), specially after zooming out and even more so if the character can be yellow against a white background
thanks, yea a P1/P2 indicator would help. Have to make it a toggle thing later.

Here's a little bug that I decided to implement as a feature cause it amused me, explosive deaths were a bit bugged but I didn't figure out how to fix the issue until I made the final level that dumps the explosive shot powerup constantly on you and I decided to look into it properly. I think that's the third bug that I decided to implement, along with enemy animation speeds being way too fast sometimes and [EXPUNGED]. Bugs are fun sometimes!

I'm slowly inching near the fucking end with this damn game, thank God. I might be able to release it this month even. Here's hoping...

>>740176229
At the very least it helps get some anons into the marketing mindset and figuring out how to present their game rather than unceremoniously drop it on steam after working in isolation for who knows how long

>>740176998
You'll have better luck doing that then being Sandwiched in-between "le 4chan humor" with "ooga booba sexy girls" presenting. /v3 is a failed experiment and Betz feeds off of his own false hype.

It's a steam event, and he's mega-smalltime. Valve is cute for letting small guys like betz and indie devs to just do whatever because they have 0.1% to become a whale earner later, but don't fool yourself into thinking it'll show on the front page. there's dozens of those events that don't go on the front page.

>mismatching stat bars width
are the boarmen textures fully aislop?

>>740177772
The bars are like that on purpose. Only the initial pass outside of photoshop changes yes. Then I enhance parts after baking the uv map then exporting back in. So it helps unsloppable the slop.

>>740177958
Why did you pick different width? seems bizzare.

nta but that's not uncommon in vidya nor UI design. You have a primary thing (life) that's more important than the other thing (stamina) so you give them different width to signal the difference in importance

>>740178251
wtf, I'm a fake dd fan..
It does seem a lot less weird when there's spacing, or the elements are smaller. or the flat color scheme. there are a few differences that elevate this use, I can't point out the devisice factor.

Sadism is telling someone to spend 3-5 years suffering with a pre-made engine that fights you decisions and is often a black box acting outside of your control or knowledge.

tomorrow I WILL start making a game

Rasko killing himself would bring down ram prices because they're wasting it on rendering his ugly ass face all the time in the simulation.

>>740185313
You can still start today. Gamedev isn't just about coding. You need an idea, and you can start that idea right now.

>>740185393
I've already got a full GDD for the game. It's just one of those little desktop companion style games so it's not overly complex or anything.

>>740185105
Have fun trying to dig down into a project like Unreal Engine with its several millions LoC to understand why some edge case is causing issues in your code so far downstream you can't even see the shape of it. Forget trying to change it, maintaining your own branch is a huge amount of work for little gain. Unity doesn't even allow you access to the source code unless you have the enterprise deal.

Yeah you can use Godot which is simpler but you also get a lot less, and what you get is not higher quality than you could write yourself thanks to knowing exactly what you need and being able to laser focus that.

Which one is your preferred way to hide secret areas in a platformer?

>>740186087
Not only does enginedevving greatly reduce the time spent procrastinating and nodevving due to dreading dealing with shit you have little knowledge of and control over, but it will also make you a better programmer so your game won't run at double digit FPS while looking like a PS1 game.

>>740186169
out of those, I'd go 3

>>740186210
>reduce the time spent procrastinating and nodevving due to dreading dealing with shit you have little knowledge of and control over
Amateur devs already have knowledge, learning struggles understanding basics like behavior trees and shaders, you are asking them to ramp up the difficulty 50x while promising that the procrastination and feeling of dread is lower.
lol. lmao.

>>740186520
Because almost all the dread (which causes procrastination) stems from a lack of knowledge, which results in a lack of control. Yeah it's harder, but you also learn 50x faster while doing it, gaining more knowledge and control which greatly improves your confidence and you stop dreading your own project.
