Working on this/others has actually made me a lot more comfortable with getting stuff knocked out quickly and neatly, though, and also I really enjoy it. Implementing it, not so much, but I'll get there eventually. Try Godot: http://www.godotengine.org/

The best thing about Unity for me is that it has Actual loving C# (2.0) under the hood. C# is not the best language, but it is feature-complete, so you won't struggle too hard implementing whatever algorithm you might need. Godot and Game Maker both use proprietary languages, which comes back to bite you in obscure ways. If you're not that into programming, though, you'll probably have less trouble. Unity and GM are both very good at simulating objects interacting in an environment, which is what most games amount to.

Rhopunzel posted:Unity's very much in vogue right now with indies for 2D stuff. Game maker is surprisingly versatile too. A lot of game makers that were interested/looking at Unity switched to Unreal when the new engine/terms of service for devving came out. It's got a way more documented codebase.

Cicadas! posted:What's the current go-to engine that everybody uses nowadays? Is unity good for 2D stuff now too, or what? Yeah you can do some fun poo poo with Unity, brah. I've heard Love2D cited, too. GameMaker has weird arbitrary limits and will poo poo the bed if the total size between all your assets exceeds somewhere around the neighborhood of 360MB. Nice for projects that you know you'll be keeping the size down on, though, either through good file management or just plain old scale.

If we're talking strictly a 2D project, maybe you'd run into the problem of right tool for the right job. Fur20 fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Apr 30, 2016 |

I remember when I first played Starbound. I picked a Floran character and discovered that I found their little inspection lines kind of charming, you know, being worried about the torches and poo poo. Then I built a sizeable house and flew around to various planets to look for plants. Ended up building a pretty large walled agricultural compound. Then I was like "Once this comes out it'll be so great, I'll be running a server with friends. I'll just farm a ton of food on the side for everyone." Probably 2013 or so? I can just never work up the enthusiasm for progression in my sandboxes. I just like building cool poo poo out of blocks. I never fought a Terraria boss. While my friends in Minecraft hosed around with enchanted gear and maybe went to kill the weird dragon boss, I dug giant caves or built megaprojects according to downloaded plans, or build really large rail tracks to ride. Sort of soothing tedium, I guess. My childhood had a lot of Lego and my dad's model trains in it, so building things from blocks and riding minecarts is nice to just chill?? Obviously, I am not the intended audience for Starbound's current design direction. I'm resistant to tedium, really, but I guess I just don't feel wanted  But hey, I had a lot of fun with Stardew Valley. I still get a little annoyed when I think of Spacebase DF-9, but I guess for Starbound I'm in the acceptance stage now  Also I keep getting Star Citizen emails, apparently I tossed them 5 bucks pretty early and then immediately forgot about it? I guess those are my big KS/EA 3 mistakes. Spending any amount of money on Star Citizen, getting SB DF-9 just because hey, it's Double Fine, and getting my hopes up for Starbound. On the other hand I got like 500 loving hours out of the 15 bucks I spent on Grim Dawn, so there is that.

I've only ever Kickstarted one game and it was because one of my friends nagged me into Kickstarting that Blackwake game because hey, collaborative ship combat looks cool. That was last year, and pretty much every update since has just been "HEY WE'RE PLAYING THIS AWESOME GAME WITH OUR FRIENDS AND YOU CAN"T NYAH NYAH NYAH" and I think one of the recent ones just casually mentioned they had to recode the whole game. It kind of pissed me off that they were making viral gameplay vids of it with popular Youtubers, giving the impression that it was at or close to alpha stage when apparently it wasn't even close, because if I'd have known that I'd never have backed it.

Croccers posted:fucklephilfish  Phil Fish is a weenie, but also I liked Fez a lot. It's one of those train wrecks that at least produced an enjoyable game. OTOH a lot of that sentiment comes from the chill as gently caress graphics and soundtrack. I'm not sure about the graphics, but I know the soundtrack was outsourced to Disasterpeace. If you can find it for free, because it's not very good, Indie Game: The Movie is worth watching to see how much of a shitshow Fez was behind the scenes, especially compared to Super Meat Boy, the other game that documentary covered.

Starbound 1.0 Patch Notes RELEASED! (Maybe!) "With the imminent release of Starbound 1.0, I would like to thank myself for doing such a great job with the game. Many of the Artist(Myself) did such a fantastic job. And now for the patch notes, since I have such a good eye for these things: -I found out that people had managed to have fun with the Beta. This has been fixed. There is no more fun in Starbound. Patch note Edit: Any ladies nearby the studio want me to give them a Tour and show them what releasing 1.0 means in this business?" grimcreaper fucked around with this message at 22:57 on May 5, 2016 |
