🎮 HEY I WANNA MAKE A GAME! 🎮

Yeah I getcha. I was once like you. Pure and naive. Great news. I AM STILL PURE AND NAIVE, GAME DEV IS FUN! But where to start?

To start, here are a couple of entry level softwares you can use! source: I just made a game called In Stars and Time and people are asking me how to start making vidy gaems. Now, without further ado:

SOFTWARES AND ENGINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE!!!

Ren'py (and also a link to it if you click here do it): THE visual novel software. Comic artists, look no further ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It has great documentation! It has a bunch of plugins and UI stuff and assets for you to buy! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) You can also port your game to a BUNCH of consoles! ✨Cons: None really <3 Some games to look at: Doki Doki Literature Club, Bad End Theater, Butterfly Soup

Twine: Great for text-based games! GREAT FOR WRITERS WHO DONT WANNA DRAW!!!!!!!!! (but you can draw if you want) ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's versatile! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) ✨Cons: You can add pictures, but it's a pain. Some games to look at: The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo, Queers In love At The End of The World, Escape Velocity

Bitsy: Little topdown games! ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's (somewhat) intuitive! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! You can make everything in it, from text to sprites to code! Those games sure are small! ✨Cons: Those games sure are small. This is to make THE simplest game. Barely any animation for your sprites, can barely fit a line of text in there. But honestly, the restrictions are refreshing! Some games to look at: honestly I haven't played that many bitsy games because i am a fake gamer. The picture above is from Under A Star Called Sun though and that looks so pretty

RPGMaker: To make RPGs! LIKE ME!!!!! NOTE: I recommend getting the latest version if you can, but all have their pros and cons. You can get a better idea by looking at this post. ✨Pros: Literally everything you need to make an RPG. Has a tutorial inside the software itself that will teach you the basics. Pretty simple to understand, even if you have no coding experience! Also I made a post helping you out with RPGMaker right here! ✨Cons: Some stuff can be hard to figure out. Also, the latest version is expensive. Get it on sale! Some games to look at: Ib, Hylics, In Stars and Time (hehe. I made it)

engine.lol: collage worlds! it is relatively new so I don't know much about it, but it seems fascinating. picture is from Garden! NOTE: There's a bunch of smaller engines to find out there. Just yesterday I found out there's an Idle Game Maker made by the Cookie Clicker creator. Isn't life wonderful?

✨more advice under the cut. this is Long ok✨

ENGINES I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND THEY SEEM HARD BUT ALSO GIVE IT A TRY I GUESS!!!! :

Unity and Unreal: I don't know anything about those! That looks hard to learn! But indie devs use them! It seems expensive! Follow your dreams though! Don't ask me how!

GameMaker: Wuh I just don't know anything about it either! I just know it's now free if your game is non-commercial (aka, you're not selling it), and Undertale was made on it! It seems good! You probably need some coding experience though!!!

Godot: Man I know even less about this one. Heard good things though!

BUNCHA RANDOM ADVICE!!!!

-Make something small first! Try making simple: a character is in a room, and exits the room. The character can look around, decide to take an item with them, can leave, and maybe the door is locked and you have to find the key. Figuring out how to code something like that, whether it is as a fully text-based game or as an RPGMaker map, should be a good start to figure out how your software of choice works!

-After that, if you have an idea, try first to make the simplest version of that idea. For my timeloop RPG, my simplest version was two rooms: first room you can walk in, second room with the King, where a cutscene automatically plays and the battle starts, you immediately die, and loop back to the first room, with the text from this point on reflecting this change. I think I also added a loop counter. This helped me figure out the most important thing: Can This Game Be Made? After that, the rest is just fun stuff. So if you want to make a dating sim, try and figure out how to add choices, and how to have affection points go up and down depending on your choices! If you want to make a platformer, figure out how to make your character move and jump and how to create a simple level! If you just want to make a kinetic visual novel with no choices, figure out how to add text, and how to add portraits! You'll be surprised at how powerful you'll feel after having figured even those simple things out.

-If you have a programming problem or just get confused, never underestimate the power of asking Google! You most likely won't be the only person asking this question, and you will learn some useful tips! If you are powerful enough, you can even… Ask people??? On forums??? Not me though.

-Yeah I know you probably want to make Your Big Idea RIGHT NOW but please. Make a smaller prototype first. You need to get that experience. Trust me.

-If you are not a womanthing of many skills like me, you might realize you need help. Maybe you need an artist, or a programmer. So! Game jams on itch.io are a great way to get to work and meet other game devs that have different strengths! Or ask around! Maybe your artist friend secretly always wanted to draw for a game. Ask! Collaborate! Have fun!!!

I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye

omfg im laughing so hard i fell asleep on my keyboard last night and i just found this

[gamecubist]

PAGE 1 OF 184

[pau1y]

One entire row of ‘f’s takes 10 seconds to type. There are 45 lines per page, so you take 450 seconds per page. You claim to have typed 184 pages, which would take a total of 82800 seconds, or exactly 23 hours. You are a liar

[mahnkee]

[victoriaringsinyourears]

You forgot that she was holding down the key. This accelerates the rate at which the f’s appear; once the ‘f’s appear at a rapid rate, it’s about 3.4 seconds per line. Also, 45 lines per page is generous - I counted and given that the page is Times New Roman, 12pt font, it’s about 41 lines. 

This means that it’s 139.4 seconds per page, times 184 is 25649.6 seconds, and that rounds out to about 7.1 hours, or 7 hours 7 minutes. 

It’s perfectly reasonable for her to have slept!

Braham propaganda

It really doesn't get more misunderstood than "Was rude to the protagonist once because he was grieving the death of his mother and as a result experienced almost a decade of hate and racism from the fandom that was so bad the writers had him turn into a giant monster so his haters could beat him multiple times and then made him too disabled to keep being a party member in a game with disabled heroes."

In terms of level of misunderstanding to actions done, it doesn't get more misunderstood than Braham.

[diamond-dangeresque]

i'm beating ur ass with hammers specifically

[coollizzylou]

Ok so a couple things.

1) the fact that this is unironic character hate on a misunderstood character poll? Very funny.

2) I wanted to go through the confrontation and pull out a couple snippets of the dialogue. Under the cut for length and for spoilers for story that came out in like 2016 (Has it really been that long????)

So. Do anyone who isn’t a gw2 player, some context. There are big dragons called elder dragons trying to end the world. At this point in the story, 2 elder dragons have been successfully killed by the military alliance (the Pact) that the player character (the pact commander, or just the commander) is the second in command of.

However, the attempt to kill the second elder dragon went very, very wrong. The vast majority of the Pact were destroyed, leading to a huge in story death toll including several major characters. This death toll includes the legendary hero, Eir Stegalkin, who is also Braham’s mother. Eir was the leader of a guild dedicated to killing the elder dragons, Destiny’s Edge.

Eir is a Norn. Norn society places a heavy emphasis on their legacies. Norn are expected to make names for themselves with notable deeds and legendary acts. Eir left Braham in the care of his father as an infant in order to accomplish these legendary acts. Braham had only just barely started to reconnect with Eir when she was murdered in front of him.

After Eir’s death and the wounding of two other key members, Destiny’s Edge is by and large considered over. A surviving member of the guild forms a new one with the player character. This happened at Eir’s funeral, which Braham did not attend because he was taking Eir’s death very hard.

Let’s look at the one and only time we get to talk to Braham after Eir’s Funeral. Quotes screenshot from the wiki and ID in alt.

There’s a lot that can be taken from this dialogue. But its’s pretty obvious that this is a young man facing a lot of pressure to live up to his mother’s legacy. He’s not even doing this for the glory of it all. He wants to save people from the same pain he’s feeling now. These are the exact same desires of the player character, because Braham is a foil to the commander.

Does he lash out? Yes. He does. Is what he says hurtful? Yes! But it makes sense for his character and I sincerely believe this does not warrant the hate he still gets years after the fact.

Which is why you should vote Braham.

YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users

Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers

[fangirltothefullest]

Jokes on them too, we know how to be petty bitches in reaponse to this. Sit through the fucking 5 second delay and continue to use adblock AND Firefox to spite them.

[forget-about-me2]

They realise that 5 seconds of waiting is still better than waiting for, what is it now, 30+ seconds of unskippable ads right?

Friendly reminder that you can add this to your ublock block list to get rid of the five second delay on firefox:
