Who says you can't mix full-time jobs, families and game development? :cold_sweat:

We are a small diverse group of friends, following our dreams, and trying to build something to completion for a change! Can we do it? Lets find out!

EDIT3: i'm going to close this to new submissions since they've slowed to a trickle now

new to mastodon? do you make cool shit? if you've got under 100 followers, reply to this with 1-4 images of stuff you've made and i will boost you to my 5.8k followers, because i want people who do creative work to find a place on mastodon

please note i will be spacing out boosts to not spam my followers too much

EDIT2: if you're a composer (or do similar non-visual work) you should probably drop a link to where people can listen to your work. maybe add cover art if you have any

EDIT: if i miss your post it's likely you're on an instance mine has muted, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about that

Soooo.... here's a fun Fedi thing which is bad.

I've been getting notifications about this conversation since it started and I have no idea why.

Several people are talking about me, but seemingly nobody knows I can see this. I replied to somebody who was outlining why they don't watch my videos anymore (which - fine, but I felt they misunderstood my intention and wanted to clarify) and that caught them off guard.

@TechConnectify huh weird. I for one didn't care or understand the fediverse until I joined kbin and saw the actual power of the federated connections.

Data just being data regardless of source is sort of the dream of the internet isnt it?

@rose ya... Definitely followed this curve like exactly. Still have a django/wagtail site up, but the WordPress one just saved me so much setup time.

ironicaccount, to gamedev

while I barely get a chance to tinker on my platformer these days, for a while I've been considering attempting to unify wall sliding and sliding on steep angles, because I wanted to better handle curved surfaces and rotating colliders

this is my first proper attempt and I think it's going to work! I even get a little Akira slide when a slope becomes a floor

@Foxysen omg! In fairness that's pretty cool too!

Spent a lot of time on visuals but I'll go back to gameplay now. I like the overall look for now still some issue (flickering, tiling...) but I'll let that to future me !

Ok, I'm facing once more this specific license: https://github.com/katharostech/bevy_retrograde/blob/master/LICENSE.md

I was wondering if you could circumvent the ruling by declaring you'd follow some other god but it's a bit more precise on the ruling in the later parts of the license.

Also, "obscene", ah right, the blank card to forbid everything they don't like. Would that even have a standing in a lawsuit?

@Ronflaix man and I thought gpl was restrictive!

How do you stay motivated when your development gets tough? 😵‍💫

@LeoSandbox Market your game on the major platforms! That part is so tough, time consuming, draining, and demoralizing you'll beg and do anything to get back to the coding and art!

Who else spent countless hours playing this classic 90s game?

Starfox 1993 Snes

@LeoSandbox A starfox clone is definitely on my bucket list of 'projects I'd love to make someday'.

"Marketing Wisdom" seems to be these sort of games don't do well unless they are Starfox itself, so that just means I can go all in on a passion project.

Fellow community, we need to make official a new genre of games among gamers communities for games that resemble classic MMORPGs but aren't actually massive.

I hate to say I wanna make MMO and everyone thinks I'm saying I wanna make a new "World of Warcraft" when what I mean is a "micro-Ragnarok" or "bitsy-like Ultima Online" 😭

@cuca in GW 1, towns are shared spaces but the over world /missions are for your current group only.

Based on the rest of the conversations I don't think this is quite it!

For all my big talk about the ethics of software, I do have a fondness for TikTok because the vibe over there is all kinds of awesome EXCEPT there is something wrong with the beauty filters because when I use them nothing changes?!

@upmultimedia I... Kinda am the same way. I actually like content there and have it feeding me alot of cool and positive stuff.

That did take alot of work tho.

A standardized platform for playing games on the web could be great or terrible - the greatness would come from standardizing the web gaming experience. Would be great for the 2D projects I have in dev.

I saw a post on Lemmy the other day asking "What petty hill will you die on?" and I wasn't sure what to say at the time but I sure do now:

Fake/sample orchestral instruments are the worst. I hate them.

Less so in smaller budget projects but big budget projects have no excuse.

I've been playing Final Fantasy 16 and the abundance of canned orchestra samples is, frankly, embarrassing for a game with a bigger budget than the GDP of some countries.

Tearcell,
@Tearcell@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Woedenaz I dream of one day having the budget for a real orchestra in a game! It's astounding people wouldnt when they can.

Sound design

The team became smaller. Now I will have to deal with sound design. I have an example of two big scenes where many hours, many days were spent on sound design another team member... I have no experience in this, so it will take a long time. A lot of work!

For now, I plan to spend a month on it. But there are a lot of scenes and they are big.

But I planned to write code to handle the console API. This will affect the release date.

Tearcell,
@Tearcell@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@maxim and you can't skimp on sound... To important and cut corners are super obvious. Sucks that happened.
