    I guess I teach high school game development and design now

    Posted: 06 Aug 2019 06:44 PM PDT

    I applied for a photography teaching position. They asked me to list things I'm interested in during the interview. The principle pretty much told me to scrap all but one period of photo to teach game dev instead.

    My retro game engine written in C99

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 01:47 AM PDT

    So for a couple of months now, I have been working on a game engine written in C99.
    I wanted to show you some progress.

    Some fun facts:

    • I am using OpenGL to communicate with the graphics card.

    • I wrote my own programming language that is used to script behaviors of game objects (you can find the link to it further down in this post)

    Here comes a couple screenshots...

    ​

    The main menu:

    It has a built-in sprite editor:

    ​

    You can define game objects, or "actors" as I call them:

    You can also define "scenes" or "rooms":

    And of course, you can design the "scenes"/"rooms" using the scene designer:

    I have been streaming most of my work on twitch, here are a couple links to the projects:

    The GUI: https://github.com/sebbekarlsson/apollon
    The programming language: https://github.com/sebbekarlsson/hermes

    Left My Game Running for a Bit Too Long

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 09:50 AM PDT

    RAW the kickstarter game showed this as evidence the game is being worked on. It says the last modification was November 2018. Does this prove they are still working on the game?

    Is programming with gamemaker a disadvantage?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 05:17 AM PDT

    I've been developping all my games using gamemaker for a while. It's impressive how I love this engine. However, a while ago I realized that there are few (or none) gamemaker programmer oportunities on game development companies, once they rather to use unity/unreal for bigger and more complex projects. I do know how to use unity. But not as good as I know GM. Also, all my portfolio projects are made with gamemaker.

    What do you guys think about it? If I really want a game programming job, should I start making more projects on unity (It is the engine I'm most familiar after GM) ?

    Is there a list of common trademarked words in the videogame industry?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 11:34 AM PDT

    Was wondering if this resource exists. I know DOOM and Prey are trademarked, common words, but was wondering if there were any others.

    Question about DXDiag

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 05:56 AM PDT

    Hello r/gamedev

    ​

    I am hoping someone could help me out. I've noticed a lot of forums used for bug reporting will ask for the dxdiag output. I am wondering what data from this export is useful to game devs for debugging & how much of it is not useful.

    ​

    Are there any tools that studios use to collect this data to identify patterns for reported bugs? How can I best use this data to aid in debugging my games?

    ​

    Thanks for any feedback!

    Hey guys

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 06:53 AM PDT

    I know this is the wrong subreddit for this but I have no friends that are interested in game development.I mean,I've been trying even on reddit and real life and they're mostly interested in just playing games than making them.So my attempt at making friends here will be a failure,but here goes:

    I'm wanting to become a programmer(Learn any language),animator(2D/3D),Artist(Any style,2D/3D),Designer,2D/3D Modeller. Those are my things,and I've been thinking of doing a one man team but we'll see how it plays out.I HOPE that there are people who have the similar good skills that I want to become on this subreddit.DM me on discord:Cobra#2289.

    Questions about formalities when working with a composer

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 03:26 AM PDT

    I'm working with a composer to make a soundtrack for my game. We're both starting out so there isn't much money involved but we still want to make sure we have proper agreements to avoid future possible issues.

    I want the composer to be able to use his music however he wants outside of my game project but I don't want to have any issues in regards to me using the music aswell. So from my understanding I need non exclusive rights to the work.

    We're planning on using https://docontract.com/ as an agreement template. Do we need to also have some sort of license in place that allows me to use the soundtrack in perpetuity or is the contract enough?

    Basically I want to make sure it's not possible for my game to be taken down later, or that people making YouTube videos about my game get copyright struck. Do note that there aren't currently any problems in my relationship with the composer himself, just being extra cautious for the future.

    Would be great if you had some experience to share or if you're a lawyer that could help me. Thanks!

    Tips on engaging with, and forming a community around a game?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 09:11 AM PDT

    Hey /r/GameDev, I'm looking for pointers towards forming a community with the people who play my game. I'd be very grateful for any anecdotal experiences or ideas.

    The game in question is small, and very early in development, but gets around ~5 downloads a day on Itch.io. Every now and then people follow me, and a few have even decided it's worth paying for, which still blows my mind. My point is there are at least some people playing it, but I rarely if ever have any contact with them.

    Essentially, what I'd like to do is bring the players into the development of the game. I've made the game's Trello board public, inspired by UnknownWorlds on Subnautica, but am yet to display it anywhere. Something I'd love to somehow do, would be to let players suggest and vote on the features/fixes/content which they think should come next.

    I've dabbled with a dev log, but never really felt I was making it interesting, more just listing off features.

    If you have achieved anything like this, I'd really appreciate your advice.

    Cheers.

    Modifying position directly vs. via velocity

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 05:19 AM PDT

    Just out of curiosity. For games with simpler movements like 2D platformers or top-down perspective games, in what circumstances would it be better have a directional input directly modify a moving object's position versus having the input modify the velocity from which the position is calculated? Would there be a difference?

    Need advice for writing a cover letter for a Game Design position

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 10:51 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    Does anyone know of any good example cover letters, or can anyone provide any advice or insight into writing cover letters for Game Design positions?

    I've got over 4 years of experience and have worked on 2 released console games. So, I've got experience but, I'm very rusty with this sort of thing.

    I was planning on using this > http://www.lizengland.com/blog/2014/07/from-student-to-designer-part-3/ but I'm not sure if it's valid or not.

    Also, how should I talk about the company? Should I mention that I love their games? That I'm a huge fan?

    Any help would be amazing!

    Thank you.
