Sorry

22, Asexual, genderneutral, dabbling digital engraver, a negatively thinking person who tries their best at being positive. Suffering from major depression, so kinda away from here. I think I won't be active until I don't need meds. Also, if you are doing a DF lp, notify me, I love this game.

lets make a videogame how hard can it be

[slimetony]

nevermind you have to know shit about computers

[hthrthebear]

hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!! 

for starters, there’s Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (it’s what Crystal Warrior Ke$ha was made in so you KNOW it’s good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)

if you want a bit more involved experience there’s Inform 7 which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn

you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with Unity (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. there’s lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the community’s pretty dang friendly from what i’ve seen!

this is just a taste of what’s out there from what i’ve seen, but there’s so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, i’m around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!

I’m addin’ to this post because lowering the barrier to entry for making games is super important to me!!!! If y’all have any questions about making games, you’re welcome to come and ask! I made this list a while back with some friends, so it has some of the programs John already mentioned.

2D Editors:

GameMaker : Potential for pure drag-and-drop “programming”. It is recommended to read-up on the program’s functions to make good use of it. Good for prototyping. Uses its own language called Game Maker Language (GML) that is similar to a C language (e.g. C++ or C#). For both Mac and PC; free version available.

Construct2 : Drag and drop level editor that uses an “If-Then” event sheet structure for programming. Good for prototyping and for beginners. For PC; free version available.

GameSalad : Drag and drop with no code requirement. Good for programming. For both Mac and PC; free version available.

Solpeo : HTML5 based game engine for 2D and isometric game development. Some programming knowledge needed. Platforms supported: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 9+. Free version available.

Stencyl : Drag and Drop “programming,” templates you can edit the variables/values for.

Scratch : Lego-block-style coding platform by MIT; totally free and a great intro to thinking in code. Very kid-friendly and comes with a community site. Browser version available.

3D Editors:

Unity : 3D editor that creates 3D games. Can build games for browser, as an app, or for mobile devices (iOS and Android). For both Mac and PC; free version available.

UDK (Unreal Development Kit) : Full-fledged, highly advanced editor. Features a complete set of tools that go from level design to visual scripting to cut-scene creation. Uses it’s own programming language called Unreal Script that can be arranged with Kismet, a visual code editor. For Mac and PC; free.

2D Art/Animation Software:

GIMP : Free photo editing and digital painting software.

Easy Paint Tool SAI : Free digital painting software with a UI similar to Photoshop.

Mischief : Free digital painting software with an endless canvas.

3D Art/Animation Software:

Sculptris : From the company that created Zbrush, this free software is ideal for beginning 3D sculptors.

Maya : Animation, VFX, lighting, and rendering software.

Magical Voxel : Voxel Art (3D Pixel Art). Very intuitive and quick to pick up.

SketchUp :  Architectural modeling software, great for creating 3D environments and buildings. Free version available.

@slimetony how does it feel to have your shitpost be turned into a helpful resource

[slimetony]

It feels like a betrayal of every tenant of humor I subscribe to. Helping people is an alien concept to me. It makes me upset.

[luxilucis]

unfinished sketches that I will never finish. Hands are still killing me

[luxilucis]

told them, so far no raging dad, only mom blaming me for the fact that she over 10 years didn’t work. Still, I’m kinda scared. At least for a week I won’t touch my PC in front of him… I think he may actually be sad that I’m terrified of him. I expected him to hit me.

[luxilucis]

my mother controlling my every movement and screams if I’m doing something other that she wants me to do... no drawing today...

Why I feel like I'm watching gem porn?*joke*

[luxilucis]

wow, why there are so little posts with pinfire opals photos? It's a beautiful stone....

[opalauction]

Mosaic Opal, just like my life. Beautiful and made up of tiny precious pieces. #opal #mosaic #lovelife

[unearthedgemstones]

Boulder opal reminds me of a dragon trying to break out from the egg!

I have 69 followers... Jokes on me? But I do hope these few porn blogs will unfollow me. It's kinda strange and unnerving for us. I'm okay with people drawing porn (if they are good artists), but not photos. They are not good references for anything other than drawing porn. And I don't have any use for porn other than to verify if I'm still not interested in it. And I doubt they are going to get anything they are looking for at my blog. It's only sappy stuff, rare sketches and reblogs of funny and cute stuff.

Something to get mind of my vent

Aaaand I forgot to take my chill pill in time. Now I will wake up only at 1 pm, and won't sleep until later at night. Well, at least I remembered my generic password for every moment of life... I dunno if I should write something about my Four Seals project because it's too early to even think about writing comics. The weapons are kinda lame once I drew them. Also I realised that Bella's gauntlets are too simple, and even thought I drew them before SU and they were created under impression of Strength from Black Rock Shooter, they look too much like Garnets. And her Lunatic weapon looks stupid - lolipop shaped saw. I will add sketch to this post tomorrow. (sketches are on PC). Also I just love adding more Arcs to this story and dark twists. Currently there are 3 main arks with different main protagonists (with exception of some characters, Yoru is not called "rule breaker" for nothing), Paradox arc, Fantasica arc that consist of 3 arcs (Negative arc, Chronobreak arc, "Purple firepin emerald"). And tons of characters. I feel like that too much for me to handle at the same time. I lost count. I can think of at least fifty characters at any moment of story at different points of existence (because there is infinite numbers of universes in my story). The most difficult character is Yoru. According to my scenario, he had been training for near 300. years and studied lots of different offensive and defensive arts and made load of scientific notes and developed a whole study about energies. There is an infinity number of energies and even bigger number of rules that are coming up each moment. It's not like GF journals it's like a giant library full of notes. And everything is kept in my head. I can't remember most of elements names, but the mechanics, the ways of the souls, universal boarders in out of 3 dimensions and time and movement... And yeah, there are about 20 dimensions that I come up with (some are common, some are not) but about everything in story goes about infinite possibilities. I tried to make this story to be canonically possible to cross over with any story, and I never expected to feel like my brain is bleeding just thinking about Yoru's lecture...

Then it got even better?

[luxilucis]

Also I actually didn’t find my password, so I will be only on PC. PC = rare if my PC will survive the 24 of august. I formated my phone because he was acting dumb and lost every password.

[luxilucis]

I’m not so back, and not so fine

finally, got my password to work. I completely forgot it.

I won’t be really active(because my meds made me rather sleepy and every time I feel like writing anything something in the back of my mind is telling me “it won’t make a difference” and then I delete the written message... I stopped contacting people) and on 24 is the final day I’m telling my parents about the fact that I got kicked out of my university and redid the exams and entered a different one. I’m no longer studing chemistry. I chose zootechnic and I’m supposed to meet my group on 25 of august.

THIS IS A VERY DEPRESSIVE AND SAD LONGPOST WITH LOADS OF TRIGGERING THEMES ABOUT MY FAMILY, IT’S MOSTLY A VENT-OUT. PLEASE, STOP READING IF YOU ARE IN A WEAK STATE OF MIND, LIKE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION AND ARE EASELY AFFECTED BY OTHER’S PEOPLE PROBLEMS. I’M REALLY SCARED ABOUT EVENTS THAT ARE COMING IN CLOSE FUTURE, SO I MAY BE OVERREACTING, AND I HOPE I’N OVERREACTING. I HAD NOT WRITTEN MUCH BECAUSE OF REASON I NAMED EARLIER AND I’M FORCING MYSELF TO POST ONLINE. PLEASE, DON’T REBLOG.

I hope for a good outcome, but my gut feeling is telling me that I’m going to get beaten up, and I’m fearing that they’ll do something to my ferret or PC. If they break my PC, I won’t be able to study, and I will probably finally let my rage out on them and destroy every peace of technology in home... And if they do something to my ferret... I will no longer have any will to live. I’m not sure if I starve myself or attack them the moment they touch her in a fit of rage. I feel like my father will go in a fit of rage,I think like this about him because once I had a conflict with him when I was trying to fix the internet and he ripped all the cables off because it stopped working and he didn’t even think about resetting our modem. My first thought when I saw the cables was “he broke it” and I started crying, because I was working to fix it, all my work in the trashbin. I snapped and called him a bastard. Even thought he stopped, he did drop me on floor and I still have a scar on my knee. Just because I called him a bastard. You see where I’m coming from with my fears? He would’ve never hit his sister or mother or my cousin like that. He would’ve never broken anything that belonged to them. It’s hillarious that I have a father that chosen his sisters and mothers family over his own family. He didn’t even came to my aid when my grandma badmouthed my first ferret, a week after she died in my hand. I was crying because of her and he said that I wasn’t behaving well. I WASN’T BEHAVING WELL! Only after my mother started acting angry (she loved Ksusha too) he reminded his mother of the cat they had before. He was probably scared that she’ll kick him out for this. And the most funny thing? We rarely have “heart-to-heart” with mother(rarely, because she is very manipulative) and she talks about that there are loads of times she wants a divorce. And with all that Santa Barbara, my other grandpa is probably to die soon, and he is dying slowly, his brains are half-dead, he hardly understands what people are telling him and his speech is suffering greatly. And I’m sure my parents will as always discard my emotions. They always do. I’ve been crying every night for month? “He is sick, put him in asulum” (”sick” here have a meaning like “demented” as an offencive term), “shud up and stop crying”. Learned about me taking antipsychotics? “He imagined something againg” (oh yeah, and I was imagining that during my school years I was beaten up daily and my parents did nothing until I could hardly move my legs because someone loved to karate-kick me in butt? He thought it was funny, and noone gave a fuck untill one day I just fall to ground crying out of pain because every step, sitting and keeping myself perpendicular to ground was full of pain, not only my pelvis was bruised, but lower spine. now that “imagined”. or the time when my mom ignored me screaming for her when a bottle cup was halfway into my knee? I walked to her bleeding because she was to interested in talking to her friends, same when a branch snapped under me and I fell on top of a low fence. now that “it’s been so long, you are overthinking, you make me look bad”). And if everything is going wrong, I’m “the cause”... Oh look, there is a porn virus on PC we brought you for your birthday, thought you don’t know how to use internet and you may use it only 1 hour a day if dad and mom not using it for their own hobbies and if one of your parents near it and you are 10... YOU ARE WATHING PORN, YOU ARE PERVERT! YOU CAN’T USE PC FOR HALF A YEAR FOR GETTING A VIRUS. //moms get another porn virus, while PC is forbidden for me// that’s an accident, not her fault //PC is still forbidden for me and I’m still called a pervert//. Oh, the toilet is broken, THATS YOUR FAULT, YOUR HANDS GROW FROM YOUR ASS, YOU ARE USELESS PIECE OF SHIT! And if I try to talk and they are grouchy, and I’m just worried? More screaming that I’m annoying and verbally attacking me. And if I’m trying to tell their mistakes? DON’T TEACH ME!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE CHILD. I’m 22. My mom didn’t teach me anything valuable in life. I can’t cook (no, I didn’t try to cook I can follow instructions decently, but I’m too scared to break something or get something dirty), I can’t handle vacuum cleaner, I’m physically weak, I’m afraid to have a job since my parents forced me to quit my first job, and when I think about myself, my future, my purpose... I feel like Peri in “Catch and Release” when she realised that Steven can’t repair the wrap pad. Laughing at how miserable I am, and how hopeless I am. Yet I’m hoping for something better, knowing everything will be at it’s worst.

On a side note I somehow got better at drawing human figures in dynamic poses without practice... I haven’t drawn in months. I don’t feel anything about this achievement but I’ll try to finish this thing I promised tomorrow, or at least make a decent sketch. Good night.
