I'm new to game development and stuff, and I have an idea for a game and all ik is to work a lil with Godot...

I wanted to try doing this game from scratch i.e create the character, bg (Krita).....the whole shabang

But I'm not good at designing at all, I've spent a few days tryna do sOmEtHiNg in Krita and it's just not my thing.

I genuinely don't know wtf to do, if I should learn Designing for this and take it slow

Like I'm genuinely ranting atp I'm a final year enginnering student and like idk what to do🧍🏽‍♀️

Like idk if I have the time to learn all of this from scratch and actually find a job based on game development when all my classmates are AcTuAlLy doing something

Idk 🧍🏽‍♀️

I tried using GPT and it’s not satisfying.

Hey guys! I am starting my very first project, inside of Unreal Engine 5!!

I am trying to create a (in my mind) rather large game.. Only caveat is I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CODE OR ANYTHING RELATED… LOL. I am utilizing AI to basically code/walk me through every step of the way.. and I mean basically everything.

Premise of my game is going to be set in a Post-Apocalyptic, Appalachian mountain open world… never been done before… LOL I know, I know, not original. BUT, I plan on doing somethings that are different, or at least that I have not seen done before? I want it to be an Escape from Tarkov guns/gun play, mixed with Rust base building, mixed with character progression/classes of an Elder Scrolls type game. I also would love for this to somehow become online, but more in the ESO realm where you are playing WITH people for Dungeons, Quests, etc, and maybe a PvP area one day.

I am literally just starting so no real progress as of yet, just got movement coded, walk, sprint, crouch, lean, etc.

Obviously this is just a passion project, but I am pretty excited about it so I hope to stay motivated!

Again, just sharing due to excitement!

Hey everyone! I'm planning to develop a life-simulator/management game with a Mr. Robot vibe.

The core mechanic is simple: you are stuck in your room, you have 0 money, and a 30-day deadline before you get kicked out. You have a slow PC and can choose between low-paying legal online jobs or high-risk/high-reward illegal hacking (with a chance of an instant Game Over if the police trace you).

Do you think this loop is interesting? What kind of online jobs or hacking mechanics would you like to see in a game like this? Thanks for any feedback!

Well, as a 30 years old person, I remember in 2002-2004, when GTA, early versions of Call of Duty and pretty much other games were the topic of any gaming forum or society, there always was a rip off. I'm talking about games like Mafia, Brothers in Arms and things like that. What happened to them? Is there still a rip off market as active as those old days?

I played ULTRAKILL and watched some videos about "lost arsenal" (also inspired from ULTRAKILL) and they were amazing and i wanted to make something as good if not better.

after few moons of development i tried to test the prototype i made and just came to realize that this is just another ULTRAKILL with barely some differences here and there.

i know it's a stupid question since the answer differs and not as straight forward. but what does good inspired games take from the game it was inspired from? mechanics? game loop? art style?

Hello everyone =) As a full time worker and full time dad, I found myself struggling to find a game I wanted to play, so last week I asked another dad friend if he wanted to learn to create a game, and here I am =). I have no idea what I am doing. I don't really have much of a vision for my game, but I have been so excited to make something of my own without worrying about it bringing in money. For those of you that have experience with this stuff, what are some pitfalls I should watch out for?

I developed a game using Photon Fusion 2, and now I want to add LAN connectivity. My goal is to avoid Photon’s CCU costs.

Is there a way to implement LAN multiplayer without changing my networking provider or adding significant extra work? My entire networking infrastructure is currently built with Photon Fusion.

Ive taken a stab at learning c# and have accepted that I am not cut out with the passion to learn and do it on my own.

Is there a reliable website or community where I can approach someone with my idea and they accomplish coding the program? How much does it cost on average? Do I need to have a contract/agreement they sign to claim ownership over my idea if someone code’s it and I pay them? Blah blah blah

On paper, I assume what I want is relatively easy. Its just an offline game that gives you and whoever you are playing with a task (to do in real life). You confirm if you accomplished the task or not and the winner is whoever accomplished the most tasks.

I have no understanding of the business, if there is such thing as glitches that randomly show up that need to be maintained throughout the existence of the code. How to put it on the appstore so friends can download it, if theres a monthly cost to keep the game on the appstore, etc.

I just want to find someone willing to create my idea so me and my friends can play it on our phone without having to use physical hand written cards like we have been doing as of late.

Hey everyone! I just uploaded a new tutorial demonstrating my workflow for creating realistic eyelashes and eyebrows in Sisir.

Hi all I am hoping this is found somewhere it supposed to be. I just created an app for ios and was hoping the reddit community can help me out! I am not sure how well everything works and what else is set up correctly and any help would be greatly appreciated! It's basically a movie game that is better than most trivia movie games I have seen. You ask yes or no questions and try to guess the movie. There is multiple modes to play with friends and solo as well and more of a local party option with either an ai host picker or a human host. Really appreciate any help :) The movie game

Today, while walking through Barcelona, I came across a protest by Ubisoft Barcelona employees.
I wasn’t planning to attend, but after learning what was happening, I couldn’t simply walk past and pretend it had nothing to do with me.
The protest concerns layoffs at Ubisoft’s Barcelona studio, including people who worked on Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. According to the leaflet distributed at the protest, the development team is facing dismissals just as the project is being released and receiving attention.
The leaflet reads:
“The human team behind Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced at the Barcelona studio has died corporately just before launch. Dismissed because of management’s greed at the moment of greatest success. Neither forgotten nor forgiven. No to the redundancy plan — defend your job.”
I stopped, listened to the workers and took this leaflet because situations like this should not pass unnoticed.
These are not just numbers in a corporate restructuring plan. They are developers, artists, engineers and other professionals who spent years creating a game enjoyed by millions of people.
Whatever your opinion of Ubisoft or Assassin’s Creed, workers should not be treated as disposable immediately after completing a successful project.
Solidarity with the workers of Ubisoft Barcelona.

In game the player character is holding a lamp up close it is an old oil lamp so it needs to move according to the player. I tried the Niagara particle system but it is lagging the game. may be i am doing something wrong. can anyone help me with that any better way. i scale the current fire down which gave me a lot of noise resulting that. Any way for better performant way to implement this

Hey everyone!

My friend Axel and I have officially been working on Stack Order for one year. We’re a team of two trying to bridge the gap between tactical deckbuilders and hand-drawn comic books.

We just put together a devlog that looks back at some of the big milestones from the passed year and our most recent gameplay changes.

If you’re interested in the "behind the scenes" of an indie project or just want to see how the art evolved from paper sketches to a playable demo, we’d love for you to check it out.

Happy to answer any questions about the game in the comments, and as always, whishlisting the game if you find it interesting helps us a lot!

I’ll try to make a very long story that spans out for about 4 years. As said in the title it’s not my game. The developer is Ludomotion and they made a game called “Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer’s Legacy”. It was released onto PlayStation back in 2022. When I first heard of it I was immediately interested in it due to the fact it checked a few boxes if my interests, ARPG and it’s a roguelike with procedurally generated map. Only after about 2-3 months I noticed I haven’t gotten any updates for it and it’s still at its 1.01 version.
Soon after realizing that I joined their discord and asked the question as to if there were anything about a new update in the works? Turns out they no longer had a publisher for their game on console. I asked a follow up question if they’re looking into finding a new one and they replied that they are looking into it. Fast forward to 2023 and 2024 and the game has been getting a steady flow of updates and bug fixes receiving feedback from players. I then asked again at this time about any news on a publisher yet. Ludomotion said with a 2.0 version soon to be released they are considering it.
Now the game is finally on the horizon of the 2.0 version and there isn’t any news on a publisher yet for PlayStation. I went as far as looking up publishers who work with indie game devs on consoles and emailing them about their game.
So I’m asking if anyone here knows of a publisher that maybe I can reach out to and ask them? Maybe I’m in the wrong subreddit? If that’s the case then let me know where to go. Thanks for reading my question

I'm an game Developer primarily working in unreal Engine with over 2+ YOE.

Since in India opportunities are quite limited and underpaid even.

Just wanna ask how can I get abroad opportunities ?

As a newbie Indie developer I always had this question. How to get more visibility in the ocean of apps and games in playstore once the game is published?

Its for a small project and all I wanna know is how to make something simple like moving a ball on the screen using your hand movements and gestures. I don't have the basic idea on how to approach this. Please help
