| 6 Types of SPAM/SOLICITATIONS to expect after listing your indie game Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:15 AM PDT So you've announced your indie game - EXPECT THE FOLLOWING SOLICITATIONS / SPAM:
"River Legends: A Fly Fishing Adventure has been selected to be our App of the Day and be promoted on Android without any cost for you. Would you be interested? Basically, act now, this won't last! I received all of those, and more, after listing my indie game on Steam, iTunes, and Google Play, and getting featured on various review websites. Often these came right after a Press Release or other publication, probably automated. What unsolicited contacts and promotions have you been hounded by with your game dev work?

| Can a Physicist have a future in a game development career? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 12:40 AM PDT Hey there. So, I'm a physicist with experience programming in c++ , Fortran and python but for scientific purposes (ie physical simulations, data analysis, scientific animations, etc). So while I'm certainly familiar with programming, I'm assuming programming for games must be a different story. If I wanted to pursue a career in game development, what extra skills would I need to develop? Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How do you balance a game with many variables? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 04:28 AM PDT I'm working on a rougelike game and the more items get in the game, the more I have to think about balance. Sometimes I realise an item is useless and I never take it, or I take another instead of it 100%. How do you balance it out? I want to keep progression so items should be better than items from a previous dungeon, but is there any technique for this? [link] [comments]  | ||
| What single book would you most recommend to another game developer? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:15 AM PDT This is going to be a real challenge to pick just one, but go for it! Doesn't matter if it is about programming, art, design or something else, just what book would you recommend, and why? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How difficult would it be to remake Silent Hill (Ps1)? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 05:23 AM PDT Let me first off just say that I love the Silent Hill series (at least the first 3). Ever since I was young it has always fascinated me. I've always wanted to see more of that universe with the vision of the first 3 games. I've always wanted to honor it in some way with a fan artwork that captures my love and respect for it. So I've been recently thinking what the game would look like if it was remade with modern graphics. So I come here with questions seeking advice on how to accomplish this project. Is it possible for one person to do this? I know that the game is not as complex as modern games so does this make things easier? Legally, how is this project possible? I know I wouldn't be able to sell the work. This does not matter to me. It would be a labor of love. To finish it would be a reward in and of itself but I worry about the legal ramifications. I wouldn't mind finding other people to work as a team member on this project and if I do, how many people do you think I would need to work with to finish this? What length of time do you think we would be looking at for making this happen? Is this just a pipe dream? Thank you. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Burnout and Lack of motivation Posted: 26 Apr 2021 11:40 AM PDT Hello all here, I've been lurking on this community for quite a while here and I just wanted to share my expierence so far as a dev. Im a single dev on a passion game I've been working on for close to a year now and my god is it just difficult. Not just physically, having to push myself to sculpt and draw and teach myself new things is hard, but also mentally. I go through such times of just not wanting to do anything on it even though I really want to get it done. Just grates on me, ya know? Sorry for the small rant, just feeling down.

| Making interchangeable equipment sets in a 2D sprite game Posted: 26 Apr 2021 09:13 AM PDT Has anybody crossed this bridge of making 2D equipment assets? I'm working on a game in python using pygame, and I want to be able to add equipment to the game. The way I see it, I have two options. 1.) Draw a ton of images with different weapons and actions (A crap ton of work) 2.) Draw a ton of images doing actions without armor, swords, etc. And have separate image actions for each set of equipment, swords and whatever else I intend to add. This would add complications to how I animate stuff though. Has anybody done anything like this before? Am I missing something, either way it seems like I'm looking at a metric ton of work to accomplish this since I've never done it before. Am I missing anything in my thinking on how to do this? I really would like this to be a simpler task, but I can't think of a way to do it. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 26 Apr 2021 08:40 AM PDT I'm not a coder, but I've got a proven track record in putting teams together, setting goals, managing those teams efficiently and creating a positive work space with open communication to deliver results in the software industry. I've always wanted to project manage the development of a game, but think since I lack coding experience that's not possible. Is this true? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 26 Apr 2021 01:00 AM PDT Hi! Do you have your favorite devlogs? Not only those, which are connected with your favorite games, but also those, which - in your opinion - are written very well. Searching for some inspirations :) [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 26 Apr 2021 12:01 PM PDT I basically need to make a dumbed down 3D modelling software (map editor) I will build something like crocotile but different (more dumbed down than crocotile) I know a ton of game engines already but maybe someone knows something that i'm not aware of and suits my needs better Heaps.io crashes on my graphics card so i will avoid it for now My target platforms are: Linux, MacOS (in the future) and Windows For stable i mean that i hate driver crashes and i may need to render big scenes I don't really care about the programming language as long as is fast enough (therefore Python is banned, java C# C++ and some other are probably a good option in my opinion, i'd like to be able to use kotlin instead of java for java game engines) I'd also love to have a good documentation if possible (ogre3D has a very bad one in my opinion, or i'm just dumb, if i'm dumb give me an easy to use Graphic engine please) I don't need a UI or being too much cuddled, i'm asking this question just to avoid to build it myself using opengl and discovering that there was something that good already available (and i also fear to have to debug problems that do not exist on my graphic card) [link] [comments]  | ||
| What's the most enjoyable aspect of game dev for you? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 04:29 AM PDT I was just reminiscing about growing up with Klik & Play and RPG Maker. I had a lot of fun with them just as a kind of creative toolbox. I think what I most enjoyed about it at the time was just the feeling of creating a world and seeing it come together. They taught me the basics of scripting but I am more of a traditional artist than a programmer. I wanted to just ask you all a few questions:

| Posted: 26 Apr 2021 11:38 AM PDT Is there a way to enable multithreading with python, and/or optimize it even further? If so will there be any difference in behaviour? I've tried multiple programming languages, and python makes the most sense to me, but I've read it has some issues with the performance, how could I solve this? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 26 Apr 2021 11:18 AM PDT How would I get a job in game dev? What are the requirements to be hired? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Mobile Game, Portrait or Landscape Posted: 26 Apr 2021 11:17 AM PDT Hey I've been trying to make a small game on and off in my spare time, for sometime. Its one of those airplane games that you shoot things in a 2D, top-down scroller fashion (ie. Raptor, Galaga). I'm giving it a directional pad instead of finger to screen moving, because i like seeing the plane instead of it being hidden under my finger. I'm asking whether or not it would be best to keep developing it as a portrait orientation, landscape orientation, or make allow it to be played in both? [link] [comments]  | ||
| What chances of getting a job without citizenship? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 10:58 AM PDT I guess my question is rather stupid, but I'm a bit of caveman so forgive me pls. Long story short game industry in city I live… doesn't exist, and overall it's not much better in other regions of country (pretty much only mobile games). So I tried applying to Larian, but it appeared they doesn't hire without citizenship. Is it common rule for industry or is it more about specific country laws? Would appreciate any information.

| How difficult is it to "succeed" as a solo dev? Posted: 25 Apr 2021 01:11 PM PDT I heard from someone that the average earnings for a game after 4 years in development is 1000 usd, which is a skewed number when you think about how AAA companies push this number up. So in summary this seems to be a horrible way to make a living, probably better of picking bottles on the street. From what I gather you should only be doing this is you have a genuine passion, or treat it as a hobby. Otherwise it would be a fool's errand? Ps. Ive put "succeed" in quotation since I know people will have different opinions about what it means to succeed [link] [comments]  | ||
| Design feasibility for beginner developer. Posted: 26 Apr 2021 02:43 AM PDT I am just getting into game development (learning game maker studio to begin with, as it fits what I'm wanting to do for now), but have a few questions about the actual design process before I decide on what I want to try to make first. I understand the design process is long and difficult, and since I'm doing this solo and brand new, i expect it to be even more challenging. That being said, I do have three different stylistic choices for what I want to eventually work towards as a game. The first is a side scrolling action game, in a metroidvania style, with possible rpg elements. The second is a sort of stealth action/puzzle platformer game with a heavy narrative focus. The third is a isometric rpg (along the lines of the older final fantasy games). I know each is different, and have their own challenges. I don't want to dive too deep over my head and end up losing the motivation to create by picking a game design that's just too complex for a beginner, so I'm hoping you all can maybe shed some light on which of the three would be the most realistic for a beginner game developer to make. I do intend to make all three in time, assuming I can conquer the process of making the first. (Just some asides, all three would be done in pixel art, which I am also creating. I'm not particularly worried about design/creation time, as this is mostly being done as a passion project. And finally, I am also going through other game development forums and articles to learn more about how to make a good game and things I need to think about for level design, game play loops, and the like.)

| When should you do discounts/humble bundle? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 06:25 AM PDT I've heard that if you do a bundle/discount early, the normal sales drop dramatically. Should you wait a few months? Years? Or some strategic timing such as the release of your next game. What about big annual sales like the steam summer sale? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Rotate PS4 Rotation axis counter clockwise. Posted: 26 Apr 2021 09:29 AM PDT Rotate my Analog input -20 Degrees. Okay so I've been trying to figure this out and haven't been able to. It's kinda hard to explain as well. The way I hold my controller by habit makes me use my analog stick slightly counter clockwise. When I want to push straight forward for whatever reason, I push my analog stick in a left diagonal position, when trying to input a forward action. I don't know if it's possible, but is there anyway could shift my rotational axis by -20? Seems to be a topic I can't find anywhere, so wondering if anyone here would know since I play Rocket League on pc, but I use DS4. Any information would be extremely helpful. [link] [comments]  |
