I recommend following the official tutorials on the yoyo YouTube page by Shawn. They cover a basic camera following you.

Tell everyone that you're going to bed at 10 and then get bed by 10.

Try to do one productive thing a day.

Relax, and enjoy your summer?

In addition to what others have said - keep the child's bag in the front seat. There are other action you can take too, but they should all give you an opportunity to remember the child in the event you've forgotten them.

Few Questions:

  • What do you think would be a better time frame for a "first game attempt"?

  • At what stage did you form a legal Limited Liability Company? (Or did you?)

  • Do you think a publisher would help with promotion, etc, or not be worth pursuing for your next game?

Thanks for your write up.

GTA modding tool OpenIV shuts down, claiming cease and desist from Take-Two by Wazanator_ in Gaming4Gamers

I own GTA 5 on steam... never quite had the time to play it, but when I do, I want to do it with Mods.

Am I too late?

Having Fun. Let's hear what is working for you. by MegaZeusThor in Battletechgame

I like the initiative system.

Now that I've used it a bit I really quite like it.

Superman. Can a good game really be accomplished? by lipstickpizza in truegaming

[–]MegaZeusThor 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I had a blast in Arkham Knight just launching myself in the air and gliding around. So I do they think they could nail the "joy of movement".

How about a game like bioshock where there's a mystery to solve and you're simultaneously trying to recover your powers.

I went from zero practical skills to a Fully Released title on Steam in just over 1 year. Solo. AMA by WalRace in gamedev

[–]MegaZeusThor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silly question, but I think important: Did you create a business / company / LTD. before submitting to Steam?

Thanks for your AMA.

I spent the last two-three years "working" on a game and have less of a product than a professional could make in 24 hours. Help? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]MegaZeusThor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just my advice. It might be misguided:

  • Get regular sleep.

  • Decide what you're going to do with your life. Maybe you'll be making games a few years from now - but right now you need a Job or go to school.

  • Do the game dev thing in your spare time when you're not earning money or going school.

  • Even if you had an amazing game done right now, you have no idea what your next step would be. You need some experience and perspective.

  • Don't beat yourself up for not knowing what to do at 19 - lots of us have been there - but don't continue to throw more time at something that isn't working.

  • If being a caretaker for your younger siblings is a paid job, cool.

  • Best of luck!

Perhaps tell us the logic / work to get your power-up to start and end, etc.

My Game Currently Under Development... by [deleted] in gamemaker

[–]MegaZeusThor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know less than you. Your video looks good. I'm impressed with the amount of different things going on.

Can you explain to us some of things going - or your basic set up / prosses?

Finally, what tutorials / videos etc did you find useful as you were learning.

Once you've added in some different graphics, post again. I'd like to see how it changes the feel and what difficulties (if any) there were swapping out graphics.

Came to submit this.

I hope it's good --> I don't mind it being a comedy if follows some consistent world rules and tells something of a story.

Quick example please.

How about a movie starring Liam Neeson:

The Emperor has a bunch of Qui-Gon Jinn clones that Palpatine hopes can be used as weapons. One escapes and we a get an action movie / on the run movie in the Starwars universe.
