| I'm releasing the last two years' worth of music I've written for you to use in your games for free! Posted: 12 Sep 2021 07:51 AM PDT This has been my pet project for a long time. I want game dev to be accessible to as many people as possible, and getting high quality music can be a major roadblock. That's why I'm releasing my work for you to use in your games for free! https://soundcloud.com/user-411047148/sets/the-hero-approaches You can download songs from here directly, and they're all designed to loop so you don't have to do any editing unless you want to. The last time I did this I got a great response, but my favorite thing about the entire process was seeing the games people made that used my music. So if you wind up finding this useful, please send me your games! All I ask for is attribution in your work. This album is released under Creative Commons BY 4.0. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What "leveled you up" as a game developer or accelerated your learning? Posted: 11 Sep 2021 09:54 PM PDT I'm curious what things have made you become a better game developer, or a better student of game development. I have a fair amount of Unity experience and am in the process of learning Unreal which is somewhat slow going due to the intimidating/overwhelming nature of it's functionality. The common threads I see a lot are "make more games" (which becomes easy when those games are small) and "play" with the engine/your tools instead of only strictly following the tutorials. Things that have worked for me:

| Posted: 12 Sep 2021 09:00 AM PDT As you advance in the world of game dev, intermediate concepts get rarer and rarer. See this as an opportunity to share knowledge. Weird / Not popular concepts are very welcome. For example, I just found out about S. O. L. I. D code. You can find more information on how it's used in Unity here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB5_EOMkLx_WjcjrsGUXq9wpTib3NCuqg [link] [comments]  | ||
| Triangle sphere collision detection Posted: 12 Sep 2021 03:46 AM PDT Ive been following the tutorial at https://wickedengine.net/2020/04/26/capsule-collision-detection/ but I cant get the code to work properly. if anyone has an idea what I could be doing wrong or maybe have a simpler solution I would really appreciate it. https://gist.github.com/TarrierHoney61/c492e38201e9dca23b99c2a69ac37dde [link] [comments]  | ||
| Lost in thinking and afraid of writing actual code Posted: 12 Sep 2021 04:20 AM PDT Hi, I´have learned programming a few years ago and started my first professional job as a backend developer at the beginning of this year (java). I once enjoyed writing code in my free time but now I do only the minimum to get stuff done. Most of the time I`m overwhelmed with things like:
There also seems to be a holy war for every possible paradigm most notably OOP. If you think you understand something there is a blog post or a video or a conference which bashes your understanding and beliefes in the ground. I´m completly unsure how good code should look like and how I can write good code myself. It was way more fun to program without "knowing" things. Now its a real pain and I dont know how to clear my mind and get things done. Do you have any tips or similar experience ? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 12 Sep 2021 10:56 AM PDT Hello everyone! I'm looking to start my game dev journey, and I'm downloading the necessary software before I start so I have everything. I already decided on Unreal Engine (I like the visual scripting), a genre (roguelike/lite), and a camera perspective (first person). I'm stuck on 3D modeling software for weapons. I want pretty unique weapons since I was inspired by Painkiller (2004). That brings me to my question, what 3D modeling program works best with Unreal? I'd like seamless export/import so I don't need to jump through a ton of hoops. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Where/how to animate what body parts Posted: 12 Sep 2021 06:14 AM PDT I have made a humanoid character model in Blender, and want to import it into UE4. However, I'm not sure what to do about animations. My goal is to be able to control the arms with the mouse using Inverse Kinematics (kinda like VR hands), and I might also want some IK animations for the legs for a smoother look. This is where I'm stuck, because I don't know where to start really. I guess any IK animations has to be done in UE4 (as they'll be influenced by the environment), but should I do animations in blender for the rest of the body only, or just override the animations for the arms/legs with IK in UE4? Any suggestions would be helpful! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Revenue share between team members on steam? Posted: 12 Sep 2021 05:51 AM PDT Hi, I'm wondering how to make a revenue share between team members after releasing a game since apparently steam doesn't have this function integrated. If I understand correctly, steam makes the payment on the 30th of every month, so I'm supposed to make the share myself? Every single month? For the rest of my life? Is there a way to automate this? I'm sure there must be a way. Sorry if this is a really dumb question, I have never released a game on steam and I'm kinda lost here. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Are frameworks/libraries a viable/productive way to learn a new programming language? Posted: 12 Sep 2021 06:40 AM PDT Like the title asks, are frameworks/libraries a viable/productive way to learn a new programming language? Such as using SFML to learn C++ or Monogame to learn C#. Is it just more optimal to learn using an engine such as Unity, Godot or Unreal? Sorry if this is a redundant question. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 12 Sep 2021 11:53 AM PDT so i have a question i used to be on the fence of game dev, and software dev, but i decided on software. I have some ideas i created mainly only 1 i think is worth selling, and its an mmo idea, but im not really sure if theres a way to sell the idea to a company naturally i imagine a project proposal? or is there like a competition of sorts to sell ideas and the best one would get the right to production?

| Do I let a player see of what's coming up when it comes to new building types? Posted: 12 Sep 2021 05:21 AM PDT So basically im working on a building system for my game and the player basically has this book, like in the game The Forest, where he can select something to build, but my question is, do I let the player see future buildings and make them "Locked" or do I only show them once the player unlocks them? I think the first one? Because it could sort of excite the player and incentivize them work for something? Let me know. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 12 Sep 2021 11:12 AM PDT how do I make my inventory system look like the one from resident evil 4. i know there's a way to make it I just can't find any that talks about it. nor can i figure out how to make it look similar to the re4 inventory system [link] [comments]  | ||

| Top open source project founder mentoring session Posted: 12 Sep 2021 11:02 AM PDT The founder of the open source project Veloren is doing a mentorship session with our community and I thought I would invite you to come join in: https://discord.gg/6yyhbRF8Jy [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 12 Sep 2021 05:01 AM PDT Good Evening everyone, I am a current game art student who is looking to further develop their skills in Maya, Photoshop, time management and team work. Do you think these skills are important to focus on improving? (Basic yes/no answers are welcome) Thankyou :) [link] [comments]  | ||
| How would a solo developer go about creating car engine sounds? Posted: 11 Sep 2021 07:24 PM PDT Im trying to create an arcade racer but figuring out how to do the vehicle sounds are a nightmare. Is there some sort of sound effect synthesizer where I could create something that resembles an engine at different rpms? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Best Place to Make a Pixel Horror Game Posted: 12 Sep 2021 10:09 AM PDT Title basically. Have some experience programming and familiarity with Unity and GameMaker. Was planning on using Unity for this project, but had great difficulty with importing art and creating cutscenes. What is the best game engine to make a pixel top down style horror game? If unity is the best, is there any good tutorial on importing artwork into unity and cutscenes using 2d sprites? Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||

| UI, HP bars and magic pixel scenario Posted: 12 Sep 2021 09:39 AM PDT There are many instance of video games that have combat, and characters have health points shows presented to the player using HP bars. Inevitably, there will be a scenario where a character has the bare minimum amount of HP to stay alive (by the game's design), which I'll refer to as "magic pixel". The game's UI might not be designed in a way that transmits this clearly to the player, and what's displayed is an empty HP bar (or a 1 pixel wide vertical line). What strategies would you adopt to prevent this situation form happening? Would you tilt damage values (for example, if a character has 30 HP, and takes 29 HP of damage, adjust the damage value to 30 points)? Or would you adjust the way this information is portrayed in the UI (maybe show a different graphic when a character is 1 HP away from death)? [link] [comments]  |
