Can we have a laid back game dev thread where we share tips on software tools / artwork and whatnot?

Ya, I love steam. Do you use any game engines for your game dev :D

>>1118 Godot, I wish I had learnt something else instead :/ >subpar binary obfuscation >doing anything other than putting assets on the screen or moving the camera is a pain, follows an example Part of the reason why I made the thread is actually because i can't figure out how to modify the interpolation settings of a 2d sprite's scaling without getting a "this won't work in the export" warning message. Storing sprites as 32x32 and scaling them up is industry standard since pixel-perfect display was obsolete, yet.

I really liked playing with Unity, it is funny how a bad rep it got.

>>1120 Yeaaa, there's like a ton of controversies around it. The engine's pretty solid though. >>1119 It's still pretty early on in the engine's development. Gotta give it a few more years to hammer out the bugs ;-;

i really want to make a VN sometime but i haven't actually played that many before so i'm a bit weary of doing the genre wrong

>>1125 look into Ren'Py, a lot of VN's are written in Python using that engine. https://www.renpy.org/

this is so weird, i closed a tab that was talking about gamedev/agdg and someone had read an posters VN, and i cant find it now. i thought it was this thread but nope. >>1119 im too much of a noob to understand this post. do you mean "nearest" texture filter? or maybe look into subviewports for scaling i made this game using godot and blender last week. it was just a basic fetch quest for my friends birthday, but it was fun to make

I want to make a cyberpunk game but it is too complicated and undoable because I'm not a dev or a game creator, I've never done something like that before. my project will 'ever come to live unfortuneately. basically the game is just like neotokyo⁰ 2 but with a story mod. I don't know if I should make it a story driven game or a online game like neotokyo⁰. the game would take place in neo-tokyo, an artificial island inside the tokyo bay, japan.

>>1218 yeah this. it would likely be easier to mod Neotokyo and make a story mode that way.
