| How did the Mario Kart 64 developers accomplish the jumbotron effect in Wario Stadium? Posted: 18 Jun 2019 09:43 PM PDT In the level there is a livefeed jumbotron that shows your character as you pass by. I've read elsewhere that mirror images in games used to be accomplished by just rendering the environment twice. Is something similar going on? Are they duplicating the camera, or is it something else? [link] [comments]  |
| Long time learner, first time developer. Is this idea too difficult for a first ever project? Posted: 18 Jun 2019 08:52 PM PDT So I'm brainstorming a game that I could try to make as a first time designer/programmer/artist and I wanted to know if this would be too hard of an idea to pull off as a first project The idea is a 2d or (3d top-down) game about a space ship that has to navigate through an asteroid field/spaceship graveyard using a short range teleporter. The mechanics of this would be that there is a real ship on one side of the screen and a "ghost" ship on the other. At any point, you can instantly teleport or swap positions with the ghost ship. The ghost ship passes through solid obstacles, but is damaged by heat and electricity, whereas the normal ship is damaged by solid objects, but immune to heat and electricity. You can move both ships simultaneously and you must use teleportation and movement to get as far as possible for a high score. Difficulty ramps as time goes on. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 19 Jun 2019 11:17 AM PDT https://www.signaturesamples.co.uk/space-sounds-vol1-sound-effects-royalty-free-and-free-to-download There are some previews on the web page along with all other information. A collection of sounds that portray the lonely, empty feeling of space. Noises and tones that make the viewer feel a sense of loss and anguish. All royalty free and free to download. Hope you guys find them useful. :) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 18 Jun 2019 08:34 PM PDT "Chiptune" or "8-bit" is not the sound I'm looking for, I'm looking for a sound more along the lines of things like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-74T3bnYsaQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSsfjHCFosw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfzg2vuqia0 Or, does anyone know of any musicians which specialize in this sort of thing? I'm going to start working on a game emulating the style of early 90s shareware titles and I want to have that sort of sound as well. Most of the retro game-music musicians I know of focus on chiptune or emulating the sounds of old console hardware. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2019 07:44 AM PDT I've noticed some interesting behavior in myself recently. I've been working on my game for 3 months, and it's scheduled for release in a little over a month. The game is nearly complete. Polish, bug fixes and modifying a few weapons for balance are still required, but it's nearly a finished product. All that's necessary to have a complete game is to make the final level. I have it all planned out and it should only take me 2 days or so. I find myself coming up with excuses. Deciding that I need to fix other things first. Thinking that if I get that level done, I won't bother to fix the other issues. I'm assuming this is common behavior. I wanted to share my thoughts so that other devs could relate, or notice this behavior in themselves. I'm going to do my best to get the level done by the end of the week :) Good luck and happy game making everyone! [link] [comments]  |
| Postmortem of making a Kick Starter Retro PC Game Posted: 18 Jun 2019 10:07 PM PDT The 8-bit guy posted a pretty detailed postmostem of the making of his retro pc game 8086 DOS based 'Planet X3'. From from the gamut of dev decisions, music, to the exhausting task of making custom game boxes. Here's his 42 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCx32lrBSNQ [link] [comments]  |

| Custom DXR Maya renderer - Team Wisp Posted: 19 Jun 2019 03:23 AM PDT Hi /r/gamedev! We're a team of 10 students working on an open-source real-time ray-tracing rendering framework. The source code can be found on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license. Additionally, we're also working on a plug-in for Maya. It'll allow you to see the Arnold standard surface PBR materials in the viewport, as well as a ray-traced live preview of the scene (works best on RTX cards, but GTX1060 6GB and up will work as well). We'd love to know what you think of it! Our latest build can be found here: https://github.com/TeamWisp/WispForMaya/releases/tag/alpha-1-0 It's still fairly experimental, but we'd love some feedback! Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or suggestions.

| Embark: 3 months into Early Access sales figures Posted: 19 Jun 2019 10:28 AM PDT It's been almost 3 months since my last post on Embark. I've been meaning to post sales numbers since I've benefited from what others have shared, but haven't gotten around to it. Sales Numbers In the first week, Embark sold over 4000 copies on Steam. This is in addition to the 400 sold on itch.io before the Steam Early Access release. Thanks to Uncle Sam and Uncle Gabe, we'll be only seeing about half of the proceeds from those sales. Right now we're at 54k wishlists and around 8k in sales. Unfortunately, return rates have been high (almost 20%), QA has not been my strong point, and the game is more demanding than most graphically (voxels which have to be cut by Z level are expensive!). Marketing I have tried my hardest to follow the common advice, to try to market as much as possible during development. I even made a Unity asset to automatically post gifs to all our social media accounts. Apart from some exposure from our failed Kickstarter, as far as I can tell, my shitty marketing efforts have been close to useless. Compared to Steam, I am maybe responsible for maybe 1% of traffic to the Steam page. At the end of the day, the game was appealing enough to players that enough of them wishlisted/bought the game. Which led to whatever eldritch forces are behind Steam to decide to throw massive amounts of traffic towards the store page. This lead to a month of insane scrambling where I tried to fix the bugs which people encountered. I was crazy overconfident that my game was bug free before the huge influx of players proved that to be ridiculously wrong. Background When I started the game, I figured the only way around the issue of not getting noticed was to do one of three things. Either make a game with such amazing design that it stood out (games like Thomas was alone, undertale, etc.). Games with very appealing art. Or games which just required a lot of techical skill to pull off. At the risk of ending up in /r/iamverysmart, I think I'm rubbish at the first 2 options but do well at the third. As far as I can tell, I code quickly. This is the opposite of advice to start small, to start with something ridiculously ambitious which would do well if I kept at it simply because customers have no other options (mwahaha). Another idea I had was to keep overheads to a minimum. I don't require much money, so even if the game makes a couple hundred USD a month, it's enough for me to survive. I've contracted artists to do the art in the game, but otherwise have almost no costs. I would prefer to make much less being independent instead of making more working your standard corporate job. The game is developed in Unity, which I think has been an insanely good deal. Most of the game's logic is done outside of Unity and is fully multithreaded, yet the parts which do use Unity have been more than worthwile. I estimate that if not for Unity/C# I would have taken at least 4 times as long. Even then it has taken 4 years, 2 of which were full time. Going forward At least for the colony simulation genre, Early Access tends to be the default state for these games. I'm looking forward to many more sales as we get closer to the "greats" of the genre. Ask me anything, criticize, whatever! Oh, and the game is Embark, which I didn't want to include in the post, but I figure I might as well add since the bot has already scolded me for linking Thomas was alone. [link] [comments]  |
| Getting feedback on a prototype Posted: 18 Jun 2019 08:34 PM PDT Hi, So I've been working on a little game idea and I have a very rough prototype (text based, on the command consol) I would like to test and get feedback on. So my question is where do you go for that? I know some websites offer services where they play test your game but you have to pay for that... Do you know any free website or community that could give me free valuable feedback? [link] [comments]  |
| Shiruken Battle Trainer - Gesture Based VR Combat Posted: 19 Jun 2019 09:57 AM PDT So my buddies come over this past weekend to help me play test the game I'm developing. It's called Shiruken Battle Trainer. A single player training module for Shiruken Warriors, a multiplayer VR Brawler, where players are equipped with the power to control the elements. (Think Legend of Korra meets Street Fighter) Although I work full time for the Atlanta Braves, I've managed to squeeze in 1 year of development and the game is just starting to reach its potential. https://reddit.com/link/c2jjzz/video/m15py36xfc531/player Right now, I'm focused on developing the Gestures, AI, and Combat System for a solid single player experience. (Multiplayer comes later) The Locomotion System is called Ninja Run. An intuitive and nausea-free locomotion system that does not involve Teleporting or pointing the controller like a remote to move. If you've seen the "Ninja Run" from popular anime, like Naruto, then you already know how this works. Hold down both triggers and lean forward with your hands held back. The farther you lean the faster you will go. You are able to look around and still maintain your movement vector in the same direction. You simply need to move your body to steer. Turn your whole body or simply move your hands to travel in different directions. Ninja Run is just one part of the overall Gesture Based Combat System. https://reddit.com/link/c2jjzz/video/afq68pxyfc531/player Gestures are movements that the player can perform to execute locomotion and attacks during combat. Each attack is based on distance to enemy. If he's far away, use a Long Range Attack (Fireballs) and throw a 1-2 punch(or more) and get 'em before he gets to you. If there's a group of baddies closing in, use the Flame Thrower for a Mid Range Attack. If they all up in yo grill, squeeze and hold both grip controllers (Vive Wand/Knuckles), and go ham with Short Range Combustion Punches. And of course like any boxer or martial artist would, if you need to block, just cover your head or throw your fore arm up accordingly. Each element can block it's own. So Earth beats Fire in this fight. As mentioned, I've been working on this for over a year and I still have many additional features to add. My plan is to release a Free GitHub demo, for testing purposes, before I release it to the public. As an Indie developer, this game is very much a passion project, so I have to take my time and get it right. At the moment, this is slated for the HTC Vive / Valve Index, but hopefully I can port this to the Occulus Quest as well. I've haven't tried the headset yet, so I'm a lttle wary that Ninja Running will work. If you're interested in keeping tabs on this project you can follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, or check my Motion Design work here. Thanks for watching. [link] [comments]  |
| Start with a large project, or work on many smaller ones? Posted: 18 Jun 2019 07:21 PM PDT I have a game in my mind i really want to make, but it has many hurdles to successfully making it. For example, a huge one is i want it to be a multiplayer game and i am under no illusions how hard multiplayer is. I have never made a game myself before, but understand how much hard work and commitment it would take. Should i: 1 - Jump into this project immediately, breaking it up into many smaller tasks logically and learning how to do them one at a time as i implement them to tackle this large project over a long period of time or 2 - Start off by making smaller games that are much more limited in scope to gain knowledge and experience, before moving into the larger project with a lot more experience from the get-go I'm open towards 2 if it is genuinely a better idea than 1. my passion is for this game in particular though which makes me lean towards 1 though [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 19 Jun 2019 11:50 AM PDT I can draw out sprites for any games from 64-bit downwards. Payment won't be needed for small projects. [link] [comments]  |
| We made a fighting game and its super super hard! Posted: 19 Jun 2019 11:25 AM PDT It was 2016 when we decided to create a fighting game, we are casual fighting game players and we never expected how super deep this genre is. Totally respect this genre to a whole new level now. The technicalities like frame data, balancing, hitboxes etc. is beyond 2 game characters throwing punches at each other. We redid the game several times before reaching this point and now we're at 25%, not there yet but we are happy on what we made so far and on our future developments. The game is made using Unity and UFE so we initially thought that since we are using an engine it should be easy right???.... oh no its not! The struggle is real my friends. From this To this - after 3 years Cheers! [link] [comments]  |
| LF 2D graphic designer for Mars survival/Adventure game Posted: 19 Jun 2019 11:13 AM PDT Graphic design work is taking me an abnormally long time. I am working on a survival/adventure game that takes place on Mars. If there are any graphic designers that might be interested in collaborating together and would like to know more about the concept, PM me! I am also open to paying someone for some graphic design help but would love to team up with someone and work on the project together. [link] [comments]  |
