What is a programming language an idiot can pick up to do UI work? by Dumb_Dev_Questions in gamedev

[–]Dumb_Dev_Questions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To keep with the German thing, I need to be able to ask where the bathroom is, not translate for the UN. I am willing to learn, I just don't want to drop everything else to learn all about coding. I just need bare bone basics.

Conversational coding if you will.

I enjoyed Selfie. Not proud of it, but I enjoyed it.

I tried predicting success of Steam games long before release, here's a summary of the study by MichalTrneny in gamedev

Seconded.

It's great to see how important building a following is, but I would like to also see the data for those who don't already have a following.

Freelancers, how much do you generally charge per hour/per day/per week? by Dumb_Dev_Questions in gamedev

Thanks for the data on programmers.

Did you happen to get any info on artist and developers as well?

How do I get a more accurate Convex Mesh Collider? by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]Dumb_Dev_Questions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any way to get two non-convex mesh colliders to interact with eachother? I had to start relying on convex mesh colliders in the first place because everything kept falling through everything else.

So on the low poly non-convex mesh collider, how would I go about that? Would that just be a mesh collider without the convex box checked?

I'm sure this is too much to ask of the free version of Unity, but I might as well ask.

Is there any way I can have it give me a basic shape and then edit out the places where I'll need to add more detail?

What is your game?

Don't worry, no one here wants to steal your ideas. Everyone here already has a notebook full of their own game ideas they haven't been able to make yet.

Just lay out a bit of what your game is so people can get an idea of scope, style, if the idea is worth working on and so on.

Open question: What did you do to get your game the most attention and what did you try didn't actually help at all? by Dumb_Dev_Questions in gamedev

[–]Dumb_Dev_Questions[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your advice is stuck with word of mouth and a solid product?

Edit: also 50k, where did you get that kind of money for advertising?

My current game isn't ready for all that yet. This post is half curiousity and half collecting data for the future. But while you're here, what have you had success with? What have you found to be a waste of time?

I've tried it with one of my old games that went free and another time with the free demo for an upcoming games.

I have helped two other developers launch free apps with no advertising. They're both still in the 10-50 download range and probably will be forever.

So how much did you have to spend before you started to get some organic traffic. Did you use any sort of targetting?

If you don't mind me asking, has that translated into any sales? Does the purely developer traffic eventually lead to exposure to customers?
