    After years of being a quitter, I'm finally on the verge of releasing my first Android game. I'm just very excited right now, even though it's just a very simple idea, and I would like to hear your stories! What helped you go from, perhaps being like me and just quitting, to actually release a game?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 06:16 AM PDT

    As the title said, for the first time I'm actually on the verge of releasing my first ever Android Game (made in Unity). I've had that typical on and off relationship with Unity for the past, perhaps, 5 years. I've usually just started working on some idea of mine trying to learn as I went along and doing it with no planning really. I just jumped head first into something that I would never finish and which resulted in me often having to relearn things. I will add to it that for the past couple of years I've had a full time job while at the same time studying in my spare time (25-50%) so that didn't really help the game development.

    At the end of last year, however, I decided that my latest prototype, a very simple idea, would be the first game that I would release to Google Play. This time I did what I never really did before, I planned what I wanted to do with the game, what I had to do and things that would be interesting to explore. From that I started splitting up everything into small tasks and putting everything in a Trello board. Now I'm at that point where all my tasks, for what I envisioned version one of the game to be like, are implemented. I've had friends and family do some play testing and tweaked and improved the game on their feedback. Now, this game is very simple though I myself think that it's actually a bit of fun and since I got this far I would also like to try to promote it somewhat before I actually check off that life goal of creating and releasing a game.

    Now to the reason I'm writing my first post on Reddit. I'm so happy that I'm actually about to release my first game and even though it's just a very small and simple game I'm just glad that I didn't quit this time and I just want to hear your stories! Have you released a game? Have you been in the same situation and what helped you to get out of it? I plan on continuing developing games after this one so it would be interesting to just learn of tools, software, different ways of working and whatever really that helped you achieve your goals in game development.

    Also, I'd love to get some tips for how to promote a game. I have a youtube video ready to be published, the Google Play page set up and ready and a simple website that I made. Now I'm trying to just figure out where to post and how to promote the game before I press that release button and once it's out I will make the youtube video public, write to my friends and family on Facebook and perhaps somewhere on Reddit. What did you guys do to promote your games? Mine is just a simple and casual game for anyone that has a few minutes to spare and I plan on releasing all the marketing material at the same time as Google has accepted and published the game. Would you have done the same or would you have tried to promote the game in advance? Again it's just a very small game for mobile, I'm not able to do a lot of cool videos with different scenery because it's only the one scene.

    That was all from me, sorry for the long post but I tried to keep it down. All though, as I've mentioned... it's a small and simple game I'm experiencing a lot of emotions just by having got passed those initial hurdles that I usually stop on. I appreciate any replies and not just those ones that help me answer my questions for promoting the game but also the ones where you just tell me your story.

    I will translate your game in Italian for free

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 07:02 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I am a Languages for Business bachelor who also completed a three-year course in game design. While studying for my game design course, I was fortunate enough to translate South Park: The Fractured But Whole in Italian (I did the base game in a team and then the DLCs by myself). In the last months, I have decided to restart my game translation career. I have already entered a collaboration with Localsoft, a big game translation company in Spain. However, there is a problem: when translating South Park I never needed to use a Computer-Assisted Translation tool (or CAT tool for short), and now I HAVE to use it. I have learned the basics of it (SLD Trados to be specific), but I am simply not getting enough work right now, so all might be for nothing since I am not practicing with this tool and I cannot solidify what I have learned.

    So here's the deal: If you have a PUBLISHED game on Steam or any mobile platform that contains less than 3000 words of text, I will translate it into Italian for you for free. I will only accept one game per company, and I will only be doing this for two weeks, starting from today up until April 4th.

    Shrinking/Expanding 3D Models & Anatomies?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:49 AM PDT

    Hi!

    I'm interested in building a 3d model for a video game complete with a skeletal, muscular and nervous system. I've found a pre-made model on turbosquid which is also pre-rigged, here: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/rigged-complete-male-female-3d-model/1010457

    My question is, I've seen games with character customization where character bodies can be expanded, shrunk, made taller, etc. I'm wondering, how is this done, and can it be done with a model with that many layers?

    Thank you!

    Composer looking for projects

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:04 AM PDT

    Hello all. I am a composer and I have been trying to work on indie games for a couple of years. I have been a part of three games so far that I joined at or very near the beginning of the game, and all three fell apart. If there are any groups looking for music for their games, I would love a message to see if we are compatible, especially projects that are a little further along and actually ready or nearly ready for music. Some samples of my style can be found at https://soundcloud.com/user-338213451/sets/samples or you can email me at mitchellk96@gmail.com for some. I am happy to write a short sample as well in a specific style (a minute or so of an sketch) as well. I love to write so I am also happy to write for low pay or a small percent of the finished game. Hope to work with some of you. Thanks.

    Unreal engine C++ A.I question

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 08:43 AM PDT

    It seems that tutorial on coding A.I in C++ is very limited online. That or I didn't search hard enough or searched the wrong area. I understand unreal lets you use blueprint to create basic functions for A.I. I wanted to code an A.I that's abit complex for e.g a routine. Wake up eat , interact with object, reacting to enemies etc. Is there a place where I can find more info and tutorials like this?

    How can I make the translation process easier?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:57 AM PDT

    I'm developing a small indie game in Unity. I've heard that foreign language translations are a good way to expand your potential market, and beyond that it would be incredibly cool to say, "My game was translated into six different languages". I've got a lot to learn about how to get a game translated (costs, fonts, localization issues, etc.), but I figure I can deal with most of that stuff later on.

    I'm more concerned that I'm doing something now, early in the development process, that will be very painful (and expensive, either in time or money) to deal with later. Here are some things I'm doing, just from guessing at what will help:

    -- All text that shows up on the screen comes from a text file

    -- My basic font supports the Latin-1 character set (i.e., letters with diacretics é ñ ã etc)

    -- Trying to avoid pun-based humor (good lord, it's hard)

    -- Dialog boxes show short snippets of text at a time, instead of huge blocky paragraphs.

    What are some best practices to make translation easier?

    Help understanding the forgotten steering behaviour: Unaligned collision avoidance

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 05:56 AM PDT

    Recently I've became interested in implementing steering behaviours for my game. For the most part, they have been relatively trivial to implement, and when I get stuck there's always surplus of resources available online.

    Surprisingly, there's one which I cannot seem to find any resources on: Unaligned collision avoidance. On Craig Reynolds site, he provides a description:

    Collision avoidance is obtained for a vehicle by considering each of the other vehicles, and determining (based on current velocities) when and where the two will make their nearest approach. A potential for collision exists if that nearest approach is in the future, and if the distance between the vehicles at nearest approach is small enough. The nearest of these potential collisions, if any, is determined. The vehicle then steers to avoid the site of the predicted collision. The vehicle will steer laterally to turn away from the potential collision. It will also accelerate forward or decelerate backwards to get to the indicate site before or after the predicted collision.

    This behaviour seems to be really useful, so I would expect there to be at least some resources on implementing it. It seems everyone is just using the separation steering behaviour as a substitute, but I feel that it doesn't work as well.

    Has anyone else found any resources on this? Also, could someone explain to me in simpler terms how this behaviour could be implemented?

    Should I make the AI a little bit stupid to make the player's life easier?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:46 AM PDT

    Hello! I am currently in a process of creating an AI for a turn-based RPG game, and I am not quite sure about how "logical" the AI should be.

    Should It always try to attack the easiest target (one of the team members with the lowest health) or should it be more randomized to let the player "breathe"?

    Considering that i've created several behaviour patterns for the AI (attacker, buffer, caster, medic, etc), should it always stick to its role or should it do some "irrational" things?

    In my current build I have to balance enemies very carefully, as I am, creator of the game, win a 4x4 fight against the enemies with the equal capabilities only 6.5 out of 10 trials on average. I may make the AI more stupid, but I fear that players will notice it. Any suggestions?

    Hero Glitch - How can I make it look better ??

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:56 AM PDT

    Why can’t I make indie games? I really want to.

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:53 AM PDT

    I really want to make indie games – I have ideas, and I've followed tutorials to try and grasp Unity, but I can't seem to learn enough about it to completely plan and build my own game from the ground up.

    The tutorials that I've followed all seem to be very specific, so I feel lost and never know where to start when creating something for myself. I run into error after error, or have no idea how to tackle a particular pattern.

    Does anyone have any advice for this, or any processes that I can follow to start making my own games?

    Thanks!

    How feasible would a "fake 2D" 3D Style be, for a RPG?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:42 AM PDT

    Hey,

    I'm interested in a "fake 2D" style as shown on this twitter, bunch of other NPR Blender Artists and also ArcSys work(GuiltyGear, FighterZ, Granblue). Is there any reason why it would work for a RPG? Why is this style not more common?

    Before I'm going down the rabbit hole of hiring someone, I would prefer to have someones opinion on that.
