Hello! I'm trying tpo make my first game in an rpg sort of style. I've started working on the sprites and graphics today, but the only programming language I am at least mediochre in is python. Should I work on using a different language? If so, what resources should I use to go about learning it?

FEEDBACK FRIDAY #425

Well it's Friday here so lets play each others games, be nice and constructive and have fun! keep up with devs on twitter and get involved!

Post your games/demos/builds and give each other feedback!

Feedback Friday Rules:

Suggestion: As a generally courtesy, you should try to check out a person's game if they have left feedback on your game. If you are leaving feedback on another person's game, it may be helpful to leave a link to your post (if you have posted your game for feedback) at the end of your comment so they can easily find your game.

-Post a link to a playable version of your game or demo

-Do NOT link to screenshots or videos! The emphasis of FF is on testing and feedback, not on graphics! Screenshot Saturday is the better choice for your awesome screenshots and videos!

-Promote good feedback! Try to avoid posting one line responses like "I liked it!" because that is NOT feedback!

-Upvote those who provide good feedback!

-Comments using URL shorteners may get auto-removed by reddit, so we recommend not using them.

Previous Weeks: All

Testing services: Roast My Game (Web and Computer Games, feedback from developers and players)

iBetaTest (iOS)

Promotional services: Alpha Beta Gamer (All platforms)

Building my dream game - but stuck on the final detail regarding future updates to it

Posted: 01 Jan 2021 08:08 AM PST

Happy New Year Devs!

Long-story short... I have a 3/4-year game idea that Im trying to bring to fruition this year and I'm stuck on one last detail:

A) do I make it a continually updated/patched game (events/heroes/etc) B) do I spend more time working in everything ahead of time that I want to add to avoid bumps down the road in the updating/patching process

I'm using GameMaker and looking to release for PC/Mac through the Steam store.

Ideally, I would like to continuously add content to my game after it releases (i.e. new characters, adventures/events, items, etc.) - but I cannot find a solution to my main concern on moving forward:

If a player downloads and plays my game on Steam with the unlocked Red/Blue characters, and then I want to now add a new "Yellow" character with cool new skills in an update, am I able to do that without the player having to start the game over? Essentially, how would I maintain their save data from patch to patch when adding new content? (Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but I've googled to no avail for a solution!)

I love FTP server-based games that have updates and events/dungeons and new "heroes" released from time-to-time, but as a solo-dev I can't seem to find a way - or - know of a solution on how to patch games users are already playing - or, if it's an impossible feat without a studio or a dev team's assistance.

I'm hoping someone may be able to help explain how patching an existing game on steam works, or if building a server-based game as a solo-dev is something that's even needed/doable.

I appreciate all/any insight on this topic, or even any links to similar q&a threads.

Hope everyone has a great start to their year!

Withhold Rate - Royalty Copyright and Royalty Film

Posted: 01 Jan 2021 03:08 AM PST

Hello, I am planning on putting a game on steam but I am not a US citizen nor I have a business in the US and I wonder what is this Royalty Film withhold rate and royalty copyright. Will I have to pay the full 30%?

Help Needed w/ Steam Upload

Posted: 01 Jan 2021 08:57 AM PST

Okay, so, I'm trying to upload my game to Steam while on Mac, which is probably a dumb idea in itself. And because of that, I'm running into the following error:

Steam>run_app_build /Users/(name)/Downloads/sdk/tools/ContentBuilder/scripts/app_build_1513120.sh

KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got NULL key in file appbuild [offset: 544]

appbuild, depots,

src/tier1/KeyValues.cpp (3000) : Assertion Failed: Error while parsing text KeyValues for resource appbuild

[2021-01-01 11:52:22]: ERROR! App build file has invalid format: /Users/(name)/Downloads/sdk/tools/ContentBuilder/scripts/app_build_1513120.sh.

If anybody experienced with this could point out what's going wrong/how to fix it, I'd be hugely appreciative.
