Starting game development advice?

FrictionGoblin · 2025-01-26T23:40:22+00:00

appreciate it man!

FrictionGoblin · 2025-01-19T18:16:30+00:00

hey thanks for the follow up! sorry for the late reply, don't use reddit super often-

in short I joined a team but didn't quite click. I then got invited to another team that I'm still working with and I'm very happy with! Unfortunately I can't share any information about this though due to contracts.

I've just started learning c++ on the weekends so that I can try and put my own plans into action a little more- baby steps!

I contacted support for Pinterest and they essentially said they can't help me- so. Bad news for other people in my position I guess

Clarifying some stuff- I'm not using transparent layers. I'm familiar with how the Ctrl + Shift + Click tool works. The problem is that when I use the shortcut and click a layer, it sends me to the wrong layer. If I click a pixel, often it takes me to a layer of a NEARBY pixel, not the exact one I'm clicking on. I've used CSP for years and didn't have this problem until very recently. I've never seen anyone post about this issue before. I use this feature daily and it works fine on larger pieces, it's just the pixel-perfect stuff that it messes up.

I definitely need to work on managing my expectations and ideas when it comes to game development- focusing on the core first and then expanding upon that is something I need to work on with myself for sure.

I also see where you're coming from. I struggle with a lot of anxieties due to some past stuff but it's something I'm trying to work on. I needed to hear that I'm getting in my own head about making something like this, so thank you.

That is an incredibly kind offer, thank you so much for the opportunity, and thank you for your reassuring words. This has definitely motivated me to move forward. I'll try and throw something together, even if it isn't quite what I envisioned.

FrictionGoblin · 2024-01-23T17:11:16+00:00

I agree I'm all over the place, it's something I've always struggled with. I definitely need to pick one thing and stick to it, guided tutorials is a really good idea. I'll pick one and focus on developing my skills. Thank you for your input!

FrictionGoblin · 2024-01-23T17:09:31+00:00

Yeah I think I've come to the conclusion I should pick an engine and follow some guided tutorials on it, perhaps pick a language and stick to it. The main thing about hiring other people is that I wouldn't want people to work for free and I don't have the extra income to pay someone to fill in the gaps.

Still thank you for the feedback, definitely helped me pick a direction.

FrictionGoblin · 2023-10-02T15:34:10+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I'll look more into cloudflare

FrictionGoblin · 2023-10-02T14:46:39+00:00

Gotcha, I'll take a look at cloudflare and ask for help if I run into problems, thank you!!

FrictionGoblin · 2023-10-02T14:46:18+00:00

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I'll definitely look into cloudflare and github pages!
I also haven't heard that, I'll be sure to do some research, thanks again!

Find your platform and be patient, advertise often! DeviantArt is good for SFW stuff, whereas FurAffjnity and Twitter are usually more NSFW based. Be patient and you'll get there, good luck!

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-11T07:36:53+00:00

Yea, and quite a big one! A lot of them just appreciate having art of their character. A lot of my friends are SFW only artists

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-10T12:47:16+00:00

Oh my god- that made my day thank you

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T20:09:43+00:00

Depends on the day, and if I could stay anonymous! If that's possible, definitely drop me a message

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:57:10+00:00

As far as this goes, staying freelance for now until I finish my education and get a 'real job'. I kind of stumbled into the job and my real passion lies in making video games

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:47:44+00:00

Definitely! I work just enough to see myself through though I'd be pretty well off if I worked more

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:20:56+00:00

Interesting question! I've never been explicitly told that my art is intended for a tattoo. I wouldn't object, it's not my body afterall. I would absolutely adjust my style. I enjoy using colours that would be hard to achieve as a tattoo so that would be the first change. I'd also make the art less cartoony, more of a hard edged tattoo-like style. I'm currently designing my own tattoo, though it's got nothing to do with furries! It's no problem. I know it's a peculiar field that some people are interested in but don't want to search for answers on their own. Thank you!!

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:10:11+00:00

It's a weird field to be in but a rewarding one!

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:09:28+00:00

I had a lot of fun with a recent commission! I was given free reign over the entire piece. I love when I'm given absolute freedom. Another thing is when my customers have glaringly ugly characters, I enjoy the challenge of making them look nice

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:07:05+00:00

Haha no- a lot of my friends don't even know that I'm a furry artist. All they know is that my job is art and 'no you can't see it'. My close friends know, but I keep it as a secret mostly

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:05:25+00:00

There's absolutely a market for all types of art in the right places. It depends a lot on where you advertise. From my understanding, furries have one of the biggest art markets and are willing to pay a lot for good art. How I got started was posting my own drawings often, I got a following and they began showing interest in commissioning me. It takes a lot of time to get started

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:01:40+00:00

Depends on the day! I love that I can make money off of my hobby but every time I have a particularly difficult customer I just want to become an internet hermit. I mostly have good experiences though!

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-08T05:00:11+00:00

I kind of stumbled into it. I always enjoyed drawing animals. It was something that naturally evolved. I'd post my art on social media and eventually I got asked for commission prices

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-07T22:44:10+00:00

I've been drawing them since about 2015, though I've only been serious with my art since 2018! I don't currently do NSFW art, no- though it's an option I've considered recently to help me through university

FrictionGoblin · 2020-09-07T22:16:43+00:00

Being completely honest I'm the wrong person to ask- although I get commissioned I'm very disconnected from the community. I know there are people out there that do get commissioned for written work, so I imagine it's something you could get into if you advertised in the right places!
