- Hello fellow gamedevs, this is my latest game: NOX, an over 2 year side project, while making other games. (More infos in the comments)
- I started my first solo indie gamedev project: a 2d platformer staring a rubber ducky. First week's progress.
- Programmed a simple dialogue system for our adventure game
- We developed Pajak the Spider for a game jam, and now ported/released it to Android!
- "The King" - A boss type character I'm working on
- I'm working on a turn-based strategy game where all units move simultaneously
- My new Beat 'em up 'Meltdown battles' just finished, after scaping a full years development
- Console Gaming's *tiny* problem | Game Accessibility and Text Size
- Working on this game with procedural beat maps
- I made a sokoban-like game about Santa with gift packing mechanics
- I trained an AI to generate unique (but mostly horrible) video game ideas
- Anyone else obsessive about code (not performance) optimization?
- Free Material Pack: Sexy Leather
- I finally realease my new game after 1+ year of work. It's made of 100% lovely pixels. You can try it for free (info in the comments)
- Gonna add a God of Wealth character to my game for the upcoming Lunar New Year!
- I created a simple multiplayer mode for my getting over it clone in UE4
- I made an indie mobile game about post-apocalyptic space.
- My Solo* 2 year full-time C++/JS HTML5 project, an Action RPG SHMUP hybrid (Mobile/Desktop Browser Alpha Demo)
- [Show&Tell] The Idle Planet Exploration game I'm working on
- Father is really worried my code will get stolen. How important is it really to copywrite game code and what is the recommended approach?
- This is a game I've been working on for 3 years now: The True Slime King - A Hardcore Puzzle Platformer
- In this 2019 we've opened our English YT channel! We really enjoy making videos about gamedev and games analysisl. This is one of our lastes videos. What you think about it?

I trained an AI to generate unique (but mostly horrible) video game ideas Posted: 29 Dec 2019 05:58 AM PST I scraped about 15,000 or so posts from /r/gameideas and used it to train a GPT-2 model to learn how to write original game concepts. You can get it to generate something from scratch, or give it a starting prompt. They are mostly horrible ideas, and if you enter a dark and twisted prompt, you'll probably get something 5x dark and twisted back (it's great!). You can try it out for yourself here: https://aideas.oscerlot.com/ It's still learning (and it's the first time I've tried to do this) so there will be some hiccups and boring ideas, but give it a try, tell me what you think and please post any insane, awful ideas you get here! Here's a fantastic idea I just got from it (with the bold text being my starting prompt) I know this is a very large game and would cost upwards of 100 grand at today's insane prices, but it is an idea!

Anyone else obsessive about code (not performance) optimization? Posted: 29 Dec 2019 08:30 AM PST NOTE: this question deals with code "cleanliness" and not necessarily performance optimization. Currently I'm working on what should be a relatively simple mobile game as a first major project, and at some point I decided to make some big changes to its code (Unity C#). I spent some time refactoring and whatnot, and at some point there was a part that I wasn't sure how to simplify further, so I decided to leave it at that and continue working on the game itself as that process has taken some time. But the fact that I couldn't optimize that part of code further constantly nagged at my head to the point where I felt like I couldn't move on with my project before I tackle this problem head on. It was probably the highest level of "OCD" that I've ever dealt with. I finally found a solution to my dilemma, which I'm currently working on right now, but this whole business, coupled with my slacking habit, has cost me quite a lot of time. Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, how do you ignore the urge to be a perfectionist and move on with your project? [link] [comments] | ||

Posted: 29 Dec 2019 10:01 AM PST I've been working on a game for over a year now - whether it is massively successful or sells 3 copies doesn't matter in this case. The main issue for me in this question is that my father, who runs a successful business himself and has been burnt a couple of times by others in the past, has been increasingly worried about my code being stolen. Before anything else, I want to emphasize this isn't an issue of him intervening in my work more than he should be as much as I just want him to relax and not worry too much on my behalf. For a long time, he thought my work in game dev was a hobby but as my team grew in size and my project was noticed by a series of investors and publishers, he's suddenly begun really urging me into somehow finding a way to copywrite my code, so much that his fear about it comes up every conversation about how my work is going. I've been under the belief that the issue of my code being stolen at this point is pretty unlikely and always told him that I understand his worry and that I can handle whatever comes up. But saying things along the lines of "don't worry about it" hasn't been cutting it the last few times we talked and he now wants me to find some advice. At this point, I myself am beginning to wonder if I'm overlooking something more important than I currently perceive it to be. I continue to be under the, possibly misguided, belief that the code is in good hands and there are bigger things to worry about. I at the very least want to reassure my dad, who I'm just glad is supportive and takes my work seriously now (lol); and not simply ignore his advice. Is there anything I can tell him or things I should concretely do to ensure some level of security? I'm afraid of spending a good chunk of money hiring a lawyer and finding out that what I can do isn't financially feasible or that what I can do might be a waste of time - just so I can get my father to stop worrying. Telling him it's not an issue or not as big of one does not work. So are his fears valid and what have you guys done to add your own insurance to your code? To clarify I'm speaking specifically about actual code, I understand that game ideas and overall concepts can be copied or coincidentally the same. What would you recommend as steps I can take that, at the very least, someone can't just copy the source code and pastes it somewhere else either to publish the game itself or just use the systems me and my team have been working on since its inception?
