| Best way to spend money for advertising an indie game? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 08:29 AM PST Hello Reddit! Does some of you have any experience with paid advertisement or else for promoting an indie game (on steam) ? Let say we between 500$ and 1500$ available, what would you say is the most efficient way of spending it? As most of game dev are strugling with money, there is not much information available on this topic and I can't really find some fresh data. Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 24 Feb 2020 07:23 AM PST Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm a professor teaching a Maya to Unity workflow as an art class. About half my students are CS and half are Fine Art. It's a higher level art elective and many of them are seniors starting to look at the job market. My background is in Fine Arts (think interactive sculpture) and I've never pursued a career path in animation or game dev. This week, several of my students were commiserating with each other about the hours they're sinking into so-called "art tests" trying to get an interview. When I first heard about this it sounded like a scam, but looking into it it appears to be legit for many studios. I guess I'm wondering what the deal is? How difficult are the tests? How long should they take? Can an applicant request a different way to prove their skills? What is it showing that a portfolio doesn't show? I'm concerned that this favors students from wealthier backgrounds who aren't working while they're in school, and I'm considering an optional "double dip" option to accept the results of a test as an assignment. Any thoughts would be valued. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Studio asking me to lower my prices? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 09:32 AM PST (Posting for a friend who doesn't have a reddit) Hello, I'm a freelance illustrator and animator. I've been creating for about 7+ years now and have a degree in animation and business. I decided to begin freelancing this year and I've been applying to game studios for any art/animation positions and recently come across a client asking me to lower my prices. They said that they "spoke to their colleagues" and stated I was charging 5 times what a normal freelancer would charge. I really don't think this is correct as this would be literally $20 for a fully rendered 2D character (for a studio that already sells games.) He also claimed that he has a client who's been in the industry for 40+ years who creates concept art for $150. Are they correct? Should I lower my prices and try to get the job anyways? I value myself and my work but I'm also fairly new to this and unsure if my livable wage for work is too much. Either way, this company seems fairly rude to their artists so I would avoid them at all costs. (PM if you want to know the studio) [link] [comments]  | ||

| What are the main struggles of an indie game developer? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 10:27 AM PST Most GameDev that i know complain about the indie game world being too much crowded where there are too much games for the people willing to play them. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Anyone know a good discord or something for upcoming developers? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 10:33 AM PST I've been a gaming addict for over a decade now and have decided to up and away with the Xbox. I went from 10 hour days on Xbox to working full time and game development and learning fast. I'm wanting a small community that is interactive and helps one another and possibly works on projects together. Does anyone know of any I could join? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Online mode in a non-deterministic, ragdoll physics based fighting game - possible? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 01:24 AM PST I'm developing a 1vs1 fighting game, where characters are basically ragdolls, hits are literally ragdoll collisions. So it's not like Street Fighter, where if I stand 1m from enemy I will always hit his hitbox with 40 damage. In my game, I might not, because some inertia moves ragdolls a bit differently, or collision force decides it was 34.9 damage. The game is non-deterministic, meaning, if I press "punch" 6 times in one duel, and I will press "punch" 6 times in another duel, I will get a different result - depending on physics, collision point, animation time, inertia etc. At the same time, the game is very, very fast and twitchy, characters take whole screen, and you clearly see where something hit - precision is the core of the game (as in "you missed by 1 inch and my attack landed on your wrist"). I don't want to cover it up with a giant particle, that would defeat the purpose. Is it even possible to have a (playable) online mode in this (with Ping 100 for example)? I'm starting to think "no", but maybe I don't know of some magic netcode or something? (I know that's not how hardcore competetive e-sport fighting games work. I'm not trying to make one) [link] [comments]  | ||
| Research Project: Causes of Crunch in Videogame Development Posted: 24 Feb 2020 10:41 AM PST Hi All, I am looking for individuals with game development experience who might be willing to assist me with an academic research project. I am hoping to establish by means of surveys and interviews the causes of crunch and how they might be better managed industry-wide. If you would be willing to assist or have any recommendations for groups or individuals who might then please get in touch. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 24 Feb 2020 09:58 AM PST My game is having a beta test, and will be released via Steam Early Access at some point. I don't have any gameplay videos created for it yet, and a YouTube channel made a long (27 minutes) really great gameplay video featuring it. They did such a good job that I probably would make a worse video if I did it myself. How do I leverage this, apart from being grateful? I assume I can't or shouldn't directly add the video to my game's YouTube channel, right? Is there some way for me to try and ensure potential players find and view the video, or do I need to make my own gameplay video from scratch? In terms of marketing, I assume it's fine to link to the video in posts on Facebook and Twitter. I could probably link to it on the game's website (I'd mention the YouTube channel, to try and give them credit and exposure). Anything else I should do marketing-wise in response to the video having been made? I don't want to do anything unethical or offend the great people who made the video, but of course I want to steer some people toward the video so that they can check out the gameplay.

| I am a freelance developer and I think I screwed up Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:38 PM PST So, last week I got my first gig. Really didn't know how much to charge, so I charged $250 for a full 2d game, almost 2 weeks of work. The thing is, I applied for another gig (a full-time one) as a junior developer. I stated I wanted $1200 per month and they hired me. After looking up hourly rates, I really think I seriously underpriced myself. Anyway, the contract for the full-time gig is for a test month only, so I think I could turn that one down after the month. Now I am afraid of getting stuck in this underpaid full time job. When freelancing, is it better to do "short" projects yourself, of getting hired kind of full time? Any advice is appreciated hahahah Btw, I am a junior developer. Got a few projects completed and some courses, but no more than that. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Making a game you wouldn't play/are bad at? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 03:50 AM PST This might be a stupid question, but hear me out. I'm a newbie Dev who is very much still learning and practicing. I've been wondering about the first few games I should make, which are re-creations of pong, asteroids, etc., the most complicated of which would be a Super Mario clone. My only concern with making a platformer is that I am bad at them. I don't play them. I don't have the patience for them. I could probably make one, but I also probably wouldn't be able to test it well or beat it. Do any of you make games that you suck at or from genres you don't enjoy? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Resources for learning data structures (ideally) in a game context? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 12:24 PM PST Hey all, I've been tinkering away at an attempt at a simple ARPG/loot grinder as a nice challenge to come back to now and again. This and my research into the development of PoE, Torchlight, Grim Dawn etc etc has brought a number of programming questions that I would love to tackle like packaging damage calculations per projectile or proper item inventory storage for flexible sorting options. Currently I have some kind of answer for most of these hurdles but I'm confident there are more optimized ways to approach them, and as with most calculation intensive games every millisecond counts! So anyone here know of some good resources to use to help me learn my way around some more advanced data structure methods? I don't expect many (or any, really) to be specifically gamedev related so anything for a good start will do. Thanks guys. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Procedural vs Handcrafted Worlds? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 11:27 AM PST Hi, I am new to this subreddit, soo don't expect anything huge :P I have myself enjoyed both procedurally generated and handcrafted worlds. My go-to choice would be procedurally generated worlds, as there is always something new to explore. With handcrafted worlds once you've been everywhere, it's basically just wandering around not really knowing what to because you already know everything. In games which have procedurally generated worlds you can just click a few buttons to have a brand new world with brand new stuff to explore, although.. it isn't really brand new. You've seen it before, just in another shape or order, but I still love being able to explore something new that I haven't explored yet So my question here is, which one do you prefer? Procedurally generated or handcrafted worlds? Please also specify why you would go with your choice! Thanks you all, I think I am going to have a great time exploring this subreddit!

| Posted: 24 Feb 2020 11:18 AM PST Hey everyone I need to interview a developer for a school science project of mine and I have a few questions if anyone could help :). Thanks in advance! How often do you work on fixing bugs over actually making progress? What's the longest time you've spent on a small section of code due to bug fixing and script errors. How's the office really like, from media perspectives you have an awesome workspace with lots of cool things to do during break. Once a game that you've developed hits the market do you play it at home or does it feel like a chore? Many people say video games cause violence, what's your take on this? [link] [comments]  |
