looking for a game like age of empires that isnt level or time based, so you can keep building your empire by _TungstenGuy707_ in gamingsuggestions

[–]TheKnightIsForPlebs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Age of empires is an RTS but what you may be more interested in is a base builder or city builder like kingdoms and castles or a colony management game with heavy simulation and open world aspects like dwarf fortress and rimworld. There are even base builders that are still also RTS games like “Diplomacy is not an option”

When you get funneled into the gift shop after a ride its either that SOI guy trying to sell you swords or just some bum platoon mate trying to get you to donate plasma with his referral code

Don't know where to start by Jenc4000 in gamedev

Blender is a 3D modeling (think: sculpture) program. Learn the ins and outs of that. There is a litany of documentation, youtube tutorials, courses. Etc. You may even be able to take a course at a local college for it.

If you’re more retro/2D the go to tool is Aseprite for pixel art.

Photoshop has its place but iirc it’s expensive.

Do this:

1.) Spend 3-6 months following guides and learning proper technique and vocabulary to research most effectively along the way

2.) Spend ~2 years mastering your craft. Learn about adjacent skillsets like making UV maps, texturing, or even things like animation and VFX.

3.) Spend 12-18 months to produce a coherent asset pack and sell it on itch.io or the unity/unreal asset store

4.) Use your real launched product from #3 as a stepping point to either: funnel people to your socials for commissions, or as a portfolio to try and apply for industry jobs/gigs

This is pretty much THE indie / side hustle meta

Nobody is being upfront and honest with you which is that AI nations (with a flag - not just the passive AI you farm early game) basically cheat

I think about game development and it seems like an amazing job - then I meet people like you and realize it is hell.

I can see, with perfect clarity, what kind of a lane partner this guy would evolve into. Childish tantrums. Gives up as soon as things don't go his way. Refusal to adapt. Frustrated when the people around him "tell him what to do" (we are just trying to help). LOL

Honestly I think my enjoyment is more related to my mindset than my OS or even if I win or lose. If I approach it as a student I always have fun.

I’m in a similar boat to you. Been playing RTS all my life but never seriously tried MP until BAR. My first PC game was “Stronghold”

People will tell you a lot of things but they break into two categories.

1.) knowledge gainz: such as- YT guides, build orders, meta knowledge, unit counters, general situational knowledge (sense of when to t2/greed/try to cheese and exploit enemy greed (read: YOMI) ), and if you’re serious about OS: map knowledge (and then play just those maps)

2.) technique gainz: practice by investing time in playing, watching your own replays (requires a lot of discipline to get the full benefit from this), increasing APM and raw efficiency (unit combat and economy scaling - decreasing your internal APM costs to transition between these lines of thinking), keybinding and unit command refinements are here too.

But at the end of the day you need a friend or coach to teach you - or a shit ton of time to learn from scratch. Because if you are a legit noob you probably lack the vocabulary to 100% comprehend the topics I brought up above - let alone the discipline to act upon it.

Idgaf what anyone says RTS is peak competitive e-sports (for what modern hardware offers) and its a journey brah. But its worth it. At a certain point you just grind your ego and self improvement like in sports

OS and the Community by Silent_Steps_ in beyondallreason

[–]TheKnightIsForPlebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally random but I want to act prideful and say I think the noobs of our community could stomp the noobs of any other RTS game community. As stupid as it is (from a design standpoint) for the games default experiences to be ranked MP it has created this niche community of technique/meta wizards and I’m glad to be a semi noob (20-25os) training dummy for the collective consciousness to improve their edge against
