    Professional game devs, what are some tools/workflows/anything that make your life easier, that an indie might not think to make?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 10:18 AM PST

    Ive been working in software development for quite some time. I know across all the different projects ive worked on we have come up with numerous small tools to speed up workflows, automate common tasks, and anything that makes our lives easier. These are usually pretty project specific but the idea can carry over.

    One example was at an organization I've worked at in the past we had very large files for test data. These files were usually created with specific defects, or types of operations in mind. They were also very time consuming to create. After some time a few people had the idea to create a giant repo of them, and set up an internal site so that anyone could reach out, search, and download one they needed rather than recreate it from scratch.

    I was just curious from people with industry experience what type of things have you come up with, or used, that made life easier for you?

    5 Games for hobby developers to make

    5 First Games

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 04:41 AM PST

    What 5 games would/have you make/made in order to feel comfortable starting a "serious" project?

    I am newbie developer. I have tried and failed at making games several times before because I always bite off WAY more than I can chew. I found this sub and read through the Getting Started section and decided I wanted to give myself projects to actually complete before I even thought of an original, larger project.

    The Getting Started section mentions Pong and then Super Mario Bros. What would you add to that?

    Question regarding handling object collision based on object type

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 07:49 AM PST

    As you'd expect, every object in the game world has a bounding volume, but given that there could be dozens of different types of object in the game world, I wondered how you guys and girls implemented handling of collisions of all these different types of object.

    For example, say you have a level with the player and 15 different types of objects (walls, trampolines, oil slicks, gateways, whatever you like). Would you iterate through every object type one by one?

    • for each trampoline, if collision with player, do something
    • for each oil slick, if collision with player, do something else
    • for each gateway, if collision with player, do a different thing

    ... and so on for all 15 object types. But what if there are 30 different types of objects or 100? You'd have a gigantic set of "for each" conditions. Would you create a class for each different type of collision?

    Perhaps you might keep a map of all bounding volumes to all objects somewhere? If the player collides with any bounding volume then send a notification that a class handling the outcome of a collision will pick up, and it then has the bounding volume and the object it belongs to, to do that?

    Perhaps I'm way off the mark in both cases, but I'm trying to improve my game and the area of collision handling was pretty gross, so I'd like to learn from people who've successfully implemented a good method of handling collisions how you did it, and if you have any tips for a clown who wants to improve.

    Thanks!

    Poor visit to purchase conversion rate on Steam?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 11:35 AM PST

    Hi! I've released a game a few days ago and now I am trying to analyze the data.

    Of course, I am aware that calculations are going to be very rough because there is not enough time passed.

    As an example, the game page was visited 6260 times in one day. And 26 people had purchased it. So, basically it is 0.42% conversion rate. Is not it low? I must mention that my game is not expensive, just $10 and it is selling with a 20% release discount. The game's quality is average, there are a few positive reviews and one negative.

    What is a normal visit to purchase conversion rate for an indie game on Steam?

    Unity, GameMaker or RPG Maker?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 10:27 AM PST

    I'll keep it short. I'd like to make a 2D top-down game, something similar to Stardew Valley and I know Java/C# only. I've completed some Unity tutorials but it seems there's so many unnecessary things that I got to learn/do in orther to make a 2D game - but maybe it's just me tho. So, would it be the beest to stick to Unity or try with GameMaker or RPG, and if so which one?

    What would be the best way to go for a indie in terms of money, good PC game or good mobile game?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 08:45 AM PST

    First of all we are talking about a quality game (even on mobile), so quality first not money. I think the main problem is the marketing, mobile is a very saturated place and it costs a lot to be visible so that you can make decent money from IAP and ads, and I don't have the budget. On steam, it's easier to be visible because quality is more appreciated. On mobile you can have shit quality but good marketing and psychological impact so the people will buy in-game items/cash.

    With "quality" I mean actual good gameplay.

    Indie PC/Mac game postmortem - from prototype until launch/showcase

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 08:10 AM PST

    https://lopespm.github.io/2019/02/06/survival-ball-making-the-game.html

    I've finished this game about a year ago, and wrote a postmortem at the time detailing the development process from start to launch/showcase, with as much detail as I could.

    I enjoy reading these, so I thought that maybe this could be of interest to other devs.

    Disclose data analytics?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 07:42 AM PST

    Hello,

    I'm working on a little mobile app where players have to guess topics. I want the app to send me the topics that were skipped (And in how many seconds a topic was guessed) so I can figure out which topics are too hard and should be taken out.

    Do I need to disclose that the app is doing this to the player? Do the player's need to actively consent to this?

    No personal information would be collected.

    Thanks in advance for your help!
