gamedev

Hi, so, not really sure what rules if any @NoxiousPluK has in mind for this community. But just delete this thread if it's against them, no worries....

This one goes out to the hobbyists and the solo devs, as I’d guess anyone employed in the industry is already using such basics....

If you work alone did you ever think about working together with others and if so why aren't you doing so now?

Hi all,...

Hi all! Posting from my alt account on lemmy.blahaj.zone because it’s been brought to my attention that we have users here from Beehaw and of course they can’t see anything I’m posting with my main account @TeaHands....

Since it's Throwback Thursday and all (and since I'm waiting on a driver install and need something to do for about three minutes), I thought it might be fun to look back at our first ever games!...

Hey, everyone! So, I’m new here and I’ve been checking out all the super helpful posts in this group. After reading about it being beginner-friendly (totally makes sense with that name, right?), I decided to join the My First Game Jam!...

A game jam for the fediverse community from July 14th to July 23rd! Anyone is welcome to join and all of the main communication about the jam will be taking place within the fediverse...

TL;DR New moderator, so please do report any problematic posts or comments. What sort of content would you like to see here? Post-mortems? AMAs? And a reminder that we allow self-promo here but only if it adds value from a gamedev perspective....

Ok so I watch a lot of devlog videos, and talk to a lot of wannabe devs on Discord (definitely not using "wannabe" as an insult there, it applies to me too!) and there's this concept of a dream game that keeps coming up....

Some background info. I have like no experience with programming. I know basic Linux and that’s about it. I also want to start game development....

The page was just made so not a lot of sign ups, but last year was a great success and I hope lots of people join this year!...

Plus switching from the subscription model to a one-time fee for commercial PC-only license. Nice....

Usually coats $19.95....

Since Lemmy is a terrible influence, I’ve been convinced to give RSS another go as a means to get at the news that interests me interesting stuff that I’d otherwise miss. It’s actually working surprisingly well, so I thought I’d share some gamedev-specific resources that I’ve subscribed to so far....

Feel free to link relevant communities here! When I think they're relevant enough I'll add them to this opening post....

Many games support both keyboard/mouse and controller input. Many users (myself included) may wish to switch their input method mid-game, but what is the best way of handling this?...

Hi all,...

For me, I recently had to revamp something because I was taught to use PlayerPrefs for saving all game data and had to move everything to a JSON in order to make cloud saves work or even just transfering save files to other devices.

This was a fun game to make, it’s short, and you’ll probably finish it in an hour or so. I think it’s good some good scares and tricky puzzles! If you try it out, let me know!

I’ll start....

I was wondering if there were some good resources for the concepts of a FPS inventory. My current idea to to just have a JSON file with every item having a “name” “type” “weight” and “count” propertys. I was thinking this would have the added benefit of using a single list that can be used for multiple menus(ie:...

I have finally finished made my website. Its not perfect but its decent at best to get my devlogs out there. So for the mean time i will be posting there instead of lemmy unless its for stuff like getting people to try out builds n such. But ill be posting links to my website when a new one comes.
