    Getting into old school programming

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 06:51 AM PST

    For personal and educational use, I would like to get into old school programming. I haven't coded in over 20 years but would like to learn to make a game that would specifically work on the Sega Master System or NES (via emulator, or actual ROM "printing"). I did some digging and saw that one would need to program on the z80. I downloaded a book and I have no idea what is going on. Any suggestions on where I should start before I get into z80. Or if I am going to jump into the z80, how would I go about programming for that on a Mac.

    I've recently had a surgery and didn't touch my computer for more than a week. I wonder if this little break made me lose all motivation... sigh.

    How do I learn Pixel Art ?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 02:19 AM PST

    How do I learn Pixel Art ?

    I have no art background. But I recently started building games in GoLang (Go programming language) for fun. Im a professional Javascript developer(10yrs) at day, and at home I make games as hobby. Im mentioning this just to give you an idea about myself, if I can do this.

    And I found that making games is really interesting. Im able to do programming needed for my 2D game, but I always download free background and pixel characters from itch or google.

    ​

    2D RPG game in GO - CombatState

    As you can see above, my background and characters aspect ratio is not matching. Im using free 16x16 characters on 480x800 background.

    ​

    I really want to know if I can learn pixel art, should start directly practicing with tools such as Aseprite ? or learn basic drawing first.

    I can use Photoshop and flash, as I have used them before for personal purpose.

    Please advice :)

    How can I change creating pixel art from nightmarish chore to something at least far less tedious?

    Tips for making a simple art style look good and appealing

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 11:46 AM PST

    I'm working on a top down shooter that uses 3D assets. Right now the player is a cube and all the enemies are different polyhedrons.

    Right now it looks bland and boring, besides particals , color design and changing the art style all together what are somethings I might be over looking that'll give my game an appealing look

    Cheers

    What continuous integration do people run?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 10:54 AM PST

    I work on Compass the build system for call of duty. What other systems are people using to build games with? I am interested to see the pros and cons of other solutions so I can improve Compass.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OVFbLnIFR4 - ~1hr video on compass

    https://www.activision.com/cdn/research/compass_digital_dragons_external.pdf - same thing in pdf

    tldr: Compass is a build system that is custom made for video game compilation. Compiled Call of Duty Modern Warefare is over 100gb. We build things on a server farm.

    --something this is my views only not those of activision, take nothing I say as factual

    Exposing Debug info/tweakables to scripts for debugging?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:58 AM PST

    I know larger game companies have a TON of their internal variables tweakable through external scripts, for debugging. I think it would be extremely helpful to be able to set the state of objects and variables externally to test features on the fly.

    Im just making my own rendering engine right now to test visual effects, but I was wondering how to make this possible? I am using C++, and DX12.

    ​

    Some ideas I had:

    Make a macro that 'registers' my variable in an external DLL, then hook into that DLL with the script to set values, and have the rendering engine use those values as an override.

    ​

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    How do assembly lines for modern day game consoles work?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 01:50 AM PST

    https://www.usgamer.net/articles/nintendo-switch-delays-from-the-coronavirus-could-affect-the-us

    ​

    The company told Bloomberg News that it would consider shipping hardware from a manufacturing site in Vietnam to Japan instead, but only if the situation in China worsened. This Vietnam-based manufacturing site currently sends the vast majority of its stock to the US market.

    ​

    This is an Elementary school level question, but this article got me curious as how assembly lines work for consoles.

    Is my assumption correct for the below:

    Change for assembly lines from US market to Japan:

    1. Change the settings for Bios/Language set into the chip-set on the device level
    2. Inserts and box art are manufactured at the same place? Change the settings for these to the Japanese Language Box Art to be printed?

    And that is about it?

    How to Localize Indie Games for Non-Latin Alphabets

    How many fan games were succesfully released without developer facing major charges?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 10:34 AM PST

    In theory someone can work on it in secrecy then upload it to some server through TOR + VPN then somebody puts it on torrent tracker. Voila full anonymity no lawsuit

    Are there any major examples of it? Pokemon Uranium?

    How do you get users to rate your game?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 10:25 AM PST

    In order for the user to rate the app, they would have to go back to the app store listing, which seems unlikely to me. How do apps get ratings?

    Which advertising platform would work best for an Indie Moba with low funds?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:35 AM PST

    Which paid advertising platform (Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, or maybe even specific influencers) would be the best choice for Indie Moba game advertising, having considerably low funds? I'm sure that using all of them (or at least several of them) would undeniably be much more effective, but, as startup'ers, we don't have too many choices.

    Maybe you guys have some thoughts or experiences to share?

    Revit in game design?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:00 AM PST

    I've been an unregistered architect for a few years and used revit for over 10. Is there a way to use revit in gaming to create more believable interiors? I notice in many games how the interiors feel improperly proportioned and from my understanding the time it takes to make a building in revit is significantly quicker and easier than other 3D tools. I genuinely enjoy using the software but architecture itself has very little opportunity for design buildings anymore. It seems like most firms either do documentation for other designers or have exclusive design teams. I miss being creative and have thought many times how I'd like to be in game design as I have so many ideas. Unfortunately have very little knowledge of coding. I mostly understand general logic (if/then ect and created one app in Visual Basic once for windows phone but outside of that I've got little experience.

    I really like architecture and game design and it would be really cool if I could be part of both. I think there's still a lot of room for innovation in games! I wonder if having revit models of buildings could be useful for keeping a backlog of architecture for games to reuse assets (if they don't already with other 3D software). Since I don't think there's a position in game for just coming up with ideas and planning them without being a dev, I'm just curious what I could offer.
