    I created an animation retargeting utility. Its pretty general purpose but I made it for handling facial motion capture. I just released it on github, any feedback or ideas appreciated!

    The Second Historically Accurate Game Jam

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 07:36 AM PDT

    The second Historically Accurate Game jam is starting in 10 days! The jam is a week long, and should really help you get through lockdown.

    The past is a really interesting thing, and games allow us to portray it in a way traditional media simply doesn't let you. Games allow you to interact openly and fluidly with the past, engaging you in an easily accessible way books, films and even podcasts (my art form of choice) fail to fully provide.

    This game jam is hosted by me, Henry. I'm the creator of the History of the British Isles podcast and fan of game development, as well as playing games. I want to encourage people to make something unique and help immerse people in the past, and try to help spur a further consideration of history within the games industry. Not to mention, history-themed game development blends my two main passions together: history and coding.

    I hope you'll join us: https://itch.io/jam/historically-accurate-game-jam-2

    Why aren't semi-sequels more of a thing?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:58 AM PDT

    While I am a software professional, I don't have any first hand experience in the game industry, so please excuse my ignorance and lack of knowledge of terminology.

    By semi-sequel, I mean a game like "Borderlands the Pre-Sequel" or "GTA: San Andreas" which more or less reused the engine of a previous game, while providing completely new content.

    "GTA: San Andreas" ranks among the most acclaimed games of its era, all without the added cost having to start from scratch when it comes to software engineering.

    From an organizational point of view, having code be written can be seen as very risky. Devs can often code themselves into corners making software brittle. Budget overruns, and outright failure to meet technical objectives are by no means uncommon.

    Furthermore, great software is not created, it evolves with user feedback and time for developer reflection.

    Additionally, many graphical assets could be reutilized as well saving, budget in that area.

    Some* reuse of game engines and assets seems like it would be a win for both the developers and the players. The makers of the game save time, money, risk, and are making a game on an engine they have experience with. The players don't have to wait nearly as long between releases of their favorite games and enjoy a more polished experience.

    Making semi-sequel seems like a no brainer to me; what am I missing?

    \ = I do not mean to suggest they use the same engine over and over, but maybe two or three times*

    Subscription Service for Sounds - what is the best one for Game Dev

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 12:55 PM PDT

    Hi! I'm looking for a good subscription service that offers high quality sounds, specifically for a melee combat action game. I'm also looking for potential GUI effects. I saw soundsnap, but not much else. It seems decent from the price, but looking through some of the sound samples I'm not too sure it's got what I need. There's not enough sword swing sounds and stuff, it's all a bit jumbled, random and kinda reminds me of many of the free offerings. Appreciate any input!

    FORECAST - DevLog 01: 3D Environment Workflow

    How would you go about creating a battle system where you change from exploration to battle scene?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 12:17 PM PDT

    Similar to JRPGS where you explore on an overworld and then a random battle occurs? How would you transition your characters stats to a completely different control scheme and when the battle ends, how would you update health and obtained items to your current characters? How would you determine the enemy and troops you're up against?

    Visualizing Game Combat from GoW 2018: Is this something game designers want to see?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 08:18 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, I am a designer and I visualize information, specifically data. I am exploring new directions with my work and recently delved into game design as a possibility. I watched GMTK on combat design and it inspired me to show the Leviathan Axe's ranged attacks from GoW 2018. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Z_U4YBDPn/. I made this to test out my idea and want to explore it further. Is there potential for something like this to be a reference for game designers? I know there's a gap in the books and tools available to teach game design. I know this is why a lot of folks supplement their education with YouTube.

    I am looking for ideas and validation on what game designers want to use. I imagine taking the next step of creating a small booklet showing all the different attacks in GoW, but not sure if this is something game designers would use.

    When I made the piece on Instagram, I manually counted each frame! It was very laborious. If there's a better way to count frames, please let me know!

    Where to publish my game

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 11:24 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, I am currently working on a game with controller input. Every works fine, but I had one question. Because ps4 is very hard to publish your game on, I thought I should publish it on windows. I saw a lot of youtubers struggling with Steam, but I want to publish on it. Can someone tell if Steam is a fine platform to publish your game on and or there other good platform to publish your game on? Already thanks! (I am btw a small developer who works on his own)

    Game teacher seeks recs

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 10:42 AM PDT

    I teach high school game art design and my students are suddenly working in vastly different settings with access to different levels of tech. We have a video conference everyday. I've been covering basic concepts like mechanics and things from Schell, but I'm losing them.

    I need to know if there's an online game engine or modeling tools that are collaborative. I know about PlayCanvas, but it looks like a solo tool. Tinkercad is collaborative and good for low-poly, but not much else.

    Everyone should have a chrome book and internet access. 75% have PCs. Most have some flavor of gaming console. I tried playing hordes.io with everyone on Friday, but didn't get much buy in.

    What would you do?

    Newsletter signup to get the demo

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 10:16 AM PDT

    Hello!

    It's our first game experience. We setup our website for the game, we have a demo available and now trying to get people to signup to our newsletter so they know when we release. We have some unique material to give them when they do sign up.

    The idea came to have the demo-link given only after signing up for the newsletter. How good or how bad is that idea? In a marketing point of view it's nice, but as a gamer it's less cool. What do you guys think?

    Help Needed With A Mobile Game Idea

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:51 AM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    So, to be completely blunt, I've never had any experience with coding, nor creating my own video game. Although, I have an idea that I'm interested in making into a mobile game.

    Basically, the game I've created in my head and on paper is also semi-simple card game (never created before) that you can play irl using a regular deck of playing cards. I thought it would be neat to also be able to make this irl card game into a mobile card game as well.

    I am curious about the tools I would need to do so, any advice or support available, and even possibly partnering offers?

    I'm not looking to make money, its going to be completely f2p - I mostly want to get this card game out there!

    Any help is truly appreciated!! Thank you all! c:
