lol its ok going fampai

I have the first screenshot of my game ready to post. There's a lot of room for improvement I can see right away. For instance, the lack of a background is a problem, and I think the hedges could be touched up a bit. I don't think I'd mind having something a little more on the ground either. I'm hoping to have a playable demo by the end of the month. What are your thoughts, Sup Forums?
Any feedback (Including and especially criticism) is more than welcome, I really appreciate input.

i too played paper mario

I want to make a 2d rpg, but I'm having trouble coming up with an original & innovative combat system.

What should I do?

pig disgusting

Yeah it's very derivative, which is something I feel a little conflicted on. I feel bad using someone else's idea, but at the same time Nintendo doesn't seem particularly interested in making a Paper Mario game similar to the more popular entries.

Play a few RPGs with really different combat systems and think of what makes them fun then combine them and derive them to make something engaging and refreshing.

A mix of Fire Emblem and Earthbound.

>but at the same time Nintendo doesn't seem particularly interested in making a Paper Mario game similar to the more popular entries.
probably because rpgmaker jrpg turn based combat is garbage that should have died with Blue Dragon

Trying to handle enemies with different kinds of attacks depending on how close the player is.

Why not make the gameplay a spiritual sequel to something people want a sequel to, but will never get? As an example swordcraft story is never getting a third game. Same for Mana Khemia.

How do you make your main character an anti-hero without seeming like an edgelord?

>dat spin kick animation

lmao looks fun tho

I don't really enjoy the simple turn based combat that many RPGs are known for either, I enjoy The Thousand Year Door's combat as much as I do largely because it's more than just pressing A and hoping to win, it feels like an actual video game. That's the type of combat feeling I want to capture. I wish I could explain myself better.

...

use rpg maker

You don't, those days are gone

Why the fuck is shit like this allowed?

give him sane reasons to do the things he does

i know that sanity is a foreign concept to americans, but with enough research you should be able to emulate it

Read up on RPG alignments. What you want is a chaotic good character. Robin Hood would be an example.

Depends on how "evil" your anti-hero is.

Is he still willing to do achieve an overall good goal by doing despicable and evil things? If so, look at Ozymandias from Watchmen and people like Punisher etc.

Progress boy's!!!

I know it's a meme, but think about Deathnote - the choices Light makes are rational and make sense to begin with, but it quickly spirals as he extrapolates his logic universally. Your main character should start off morally good but follows a path of small, rational decisions that takes him down a dark path

Not just "heh, sorry kiddo, I just want to watch the world burn"

this is horrible

Please Don't Post

i;m going to kill myself if i have to see this again

also important to acknowledge within the story itself that the character has become twisted.

google "Shadow the Hedgehog"

BAN HE

B A N
H E

this, or breaking bad, both are decent examples

do what Spec Ops the line did but make it actually a good game that has actually good gunplay and decent enemy/weapon variety and an actually decent narrative that doesn't blame the character for its own linearity and plot holes/meta-narrative problems

nastiest shit i ever did lay my eyes on

Dear god, how many people are making Paper Mario clones around here?

This is like the third i've seen recently.

Workin on a super sentai-like character design.
How do those japs do it?

they use generators

>people are upset by Source

y tho

Can i ask if you made the engine from scratch or if you used a pre-built one?

>y tho
IT LOOKS LIKE FUCKING SHIT

Just combine 2 and hope for the best. Do OSRS style combat with the switching, gear and such but make it an action non-target combat.

apollo.itch.io/sky-fallers-1982

I just finished this for a jam.

i'm doomed!

omfg STOP

kys nigger

I'm using the Unity engine but I'm not using anything from the asset store. I want it to feel like its own game, not a Unity game.

I'm currently learning C++.

Should I just use a pre-built engine and wing it or take a year or two to learn a coding language?

Counting him? Two

Wing it, at the very worst you'll learn.

The only ones I know of are the guy making the mspaint looking game, the bug rpg, and then this paper hobo guy I guess.

"Paper Hobo Guy" I like that haha, his name is Sal and he's a complete asshole.

Stop the bullying

Why the fuck would you post this? It looks horrible. WTF is your anti-aliasing set to?

>Dark lord is sealed by your father and the land is peaceful - beginning of the story
>You go to a village to wipe it out and after killing most of the people you find a little girl who you save from your fellow comrades
>You fight all your friends and beat sense into them and you learn that your father has been killing all the villages because hes evil
>You fight through the lands and your dads army with them joining your side when they're defeated
>You finally make it to your dad and fight him hes like a magical knight that was trained by a dragon
>In a moment of hesitation you strike him down but he breaks a curse on you revealing that the little girl was the dark lord all along
>All your friends and everyone are now undead slaves to this bitch and she wanted to have you as her puppet lover
>She kills your father and you fight her but you defeat her in that weakened form
>She then possesses your father and throws you out of the kingdom due to being so fucking powerful
>Oh your actually part dragon and that's not really your dad - fucking cheesy I know

...

I'm making a zombie survival game with a big focus on crafting.

If it's good no one will care that it's repetitive.

...

...

Pls no more

...

There is no way this many people hate the source engine this much. The guy's game looks like shit but it's definitely one or two people giving him yous, it isn't bad enough to derail the entire thread.

STOP FUCKING POSTING SOURCE ITS NOT GAME DEV

>The guy's game
What game? You see a game there? Lol. Keep samefagging your ""work"" nigger.

IM DYING HERE

>game

>How do you make your main character an anti-hero without seeming like an edgelord?

Anti-heroes only seem like edgelords if the edge is written to be the core of the character or all of the character. If you give your character reasonable motivations, relatable ethics and some redeeming/humanising personality features then you can't go wrong. e.g.

Robin hood the anti-hero:

Disgraced nobleman turned brigand who runs around in green tights and robs the rich with only as much violence as necessary, giving some of it to the poor and using the rest to get drunk off his tits. Highly irresponsible and flakey and has to be forced by Maid Marian to get off his arse and directly oppose King John with his band of merry men.

Robin hood the edgelord:

Disgraced nobleman who runs around the forest in black spikey armor and murders/totures/rapes any rich nobles or soldiers he finds. Burns the wealth he collects, because fuck the system man. Sneers at the plight of the peasant, because if you're too weak die on your feet, then you don't deserve aid and frankly he'd prefer to see the world burn, anyway.

>The guy's game looks like shit
hold on what game now wher is this game i see no games here

I don't usually check up on these threads so idk what it is if it's not a game but you guys are literally making a majority of the posts in this thread. You can't even hide that user because most of this thread is you people bitching about him.

Nice

>that user
>>>/r*ddit/

first post worst post

>22 unique posters
Guys
We get it
Source engine sucks
Stop. Bitching. Nobody cares.

nodevs have to be destroyed

Congratulations on ruining the thread you did it now he's dead thanks to all your sick memes he's finished.

What's high school like these days? I'm starting to miss it a little.

its full of nodevs dont go to high school just skip it like i do

>Underage

>implying Sup Forums isnt a shitpost fiesta by itself

Underage get out.

>Stop. Bitching. Nobody cares.

They've been doing this shit for years in /agdg/, if you're acknowledging them, then you're encouraging them.

>cant post in agdg cuz of pedos
>cant post on v cuz of literally insane shitposter

>Congratulations on ruining the thread
The sourcefag is the one to blame, seriously source should come in a bundle with a rope and a tree so brainlets cannot post their "games"

>agdg
God I hate that place. Is it any wonder the users from the offshore threads here started their own Discord?

Oh my fucking God no one cares. He made, what, three posts? Who fucking cares?

>love dwarf fortress
>Just want to make an adventure mode style roguelike set in a fallout setting
>No idea how to do procedural generation on the same level as dwarf fortress

>Who fucking cares?
every user who cared enough to reply and dont let the door hit you when you fuck off

>If it's good no one will care. It's repetitive.
FTFY

You are the only one who cares at all. The unique poster count never went up when you were spamming your dumb memes.

youtu.be/v8zwPdPvN10?t=9m15s

he made all the posts actually
he does this every day
he's literally insane

...

Keep samefagging about your """game""" retard. Source is garbage and so are you.

google "Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead"

me and the rest of agdg, we go out of that dickhole to chill and then BAM sourceposting, fucking cancer

Endless Tumblr level bitching is worse cancer than an engine you don't like.

progress

Today was good, I fixed the two bugs that were making my game crash, along with a bunch of other things that I thought were crashing my game. Now it runs silky smooth.

Next up is some exciting UI work

STOP

>tfw too much of a brainlet to figure out how to use blender or unity

go to youtube

look up tutorials
