[Poll] How Much “Planning” Or “Prepping” Do You Do Before Starting Your Game(s)?

I'm not going to vote, because it's all over the board for me. Really, it's entirely dependent on how important the project is to me, and how finessed I want it to turn out.

I've been working on and off on NL for like 12 years now, for example. (Even though it's only gotten super serious in the last 3 years or so). A lot of our main projects that we're really excited about producing are about 2 or 3 years old. Then on the other end of the spectrum you have stuff like Pencil Perfect, which I spent like 2 days thinking about before I started putting stuff together.

So the short answer is that my/our projects can be anywhere from 2 days to 12 years old, with them being "planned" in various ways and concepts that entire time.

Why isn’t this a useable weapon in a game yet?

One of the main characters in the several RPGs that I have outlined uses bats as a weapon. No reason he couldn't pick up a cricket bat.

Hiring Graphic Artists for Last Dream II, RPG Maker VX Ace

Keep it down Pizza! The backers shouldn't know that! D: In all seriousness though, it is common along kickstarters to use easily/cheap implemented features to entice more donations.


It's also immoral, and disgusting.

And insulting as a developer.

Apparently it costs 2000$ to add a character class? That's fucking hilarious. Most of the games around here are worth tens of thousands of dollars if that's the case. Also, Synthesis isn't 2250$, it's a freeware script.

People like you make me sick.

If you're looking to practice pixel art then I don't know if I'd recommend starting off with bigger things like monsters. At least, that's not how I did it. I made tiles, then character sets, and only now have I started making monsters. When I did I started with something easy, like this:



This is just the circle tool in paint pretty much. I got it into the shape I wanted, then cleaned it up, applied the colour and finished up all the lines. Alterego's method of tracing a hand drawn image also works, that's what I did for this portrait, for example:



Drawing the pixels by hand in a rough shape is a valid way to do it, so long as you take the time to clean it up later. It's just like sketching a picture.

Trans-Pacific Partnership (A.K.A. It's back again)

I think what worries me the most is that me and my teammate are going to have to make a business online eventually. I don't like the implications behind making using the internet so dangerous and let's be honest, scary, with companies and government goons breathing down your neck all the time. Part of me thinks that this shit could be really prone to spiraling out of control if they even get a small foothold with it.

https://openmedia.org/censorship?deserves=report

There hasn't been a topic here about this here yet, so I figured I'd post it. This isn't like the last censorship thing that went up here, as it affects both the US and Canada, so everybody's signatures actually matter this time.

I don't really have much to say about it, just seems like another bullshit censorship bill being passed at the last second. Discuss.

[Poll] All Hallows' Event II: Theme Poll

I chose ghost stories. But I'd be down to have an open theme like you did last time, since I wasn't participating back then.

...So what exactly do you do in, you know, your project? Save for the writing. Why exactly did your last sprite artist leave you?

Just a fair warning, people don't really respond well to completely new users asking for teams of like, 4-6 people. Especially when those users haven't really shown any work at all on the site.

What's with all the trolls lately?

I think you mean "What's with the troll lately?".

As far as I can tell it was just that one guy with the dangerous anger management problems.
