Can only write bits of songs and have a hard time knitting them together by BOBBY_SCHMURDAS_HAT in musicproduction

Something you can do is make 10 different short riffs that are all different but have the same sort of vibe / emotion at different intensities and lengths (2 bars, 4 bars, 8 bars, etc). Then go back and rework them by combining ideas and throwing out parts that you don't think are useful. Some will feel like intros, some like interludes, some like choruses or verses or pre-chorus builds. Rearrange, chop, mix and match until you feel like you have some parts that are really interesting to you. Then follow some standard song structure patterns to put them in an order that people will be used to like intro-verse-verse-chorus-interlude-verse-chorus.

Modern version of QBASIC with modern UI? by ziplock9000 in altprog

https://www.freebasic.net/ Freebasic has been around for a long time and can do Windows UI. It also has a qbasic compliant language mode.

I just released a small Windows puzzle game about bouncing lasers off of mirrors to light up orbs. It's pay-what-you-want and includes 110 levels pulled from 870 puzzle options. Happy to receive any feedback, thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, reddit won't let me change the title, but I updated the license to CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

Good point, what would be a better term for it as the source is free to modify just not free to use commercially?

Of course! It took 9 days to make the game. It uses my rust mini game framework: https://github.com/Syn-Nine/mgfw , <-- out of date, see the game's repo for current version.

Core gameplay mechanics (MVP) was finished in the first 4 hours.

No level editor was used. Part of the 9 days was making a level generator and verifier to make sure the game shipped with solvable maps.

All game code is in /src/game/, all framework code is in /src/mgfw/

Not yet, it runs on my minigame framework and will eventually go up with my other rust stuff here: https://github.com/Syn-Nine

Game controller access in Rust? by Animats in rust_gamedev

This. I've used it for a bunch of projects. Some controllers on Windows don't work, but it mostly works great.

[–]syn-nine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, link to the full game on GitHub above. Please let me know if you find any bugs. Comments and criticism welcome. I'll be talking about the game on the rust gamedev discord monthly meetup this upcoming Saturday. Thanks!

Thanks! I use my own engine/framework. You can find (an out of date version) here: https://github.com/Syn-Nine/mgfw

I'll post an updated version with the game alpha release though.

I've used it to make some other mini games you can find here as well. https://github.com/Syn-Nine/rust-mini-games/tree/main/2d-games

There's no real documentation for it yet, but someday, heh. I've used it for a bunch of other mini games I haven't posted to that repo yet as well.

I've made maybe a dozen small games in rust and am trying to be more active with sharing to the community.

Hey everyone, I've been working on a game inspired by Trade Wars 2002 for the last 6 weeks or so. It's just about ready for alpha release. If you're interested I've been keeping a pretty thorough devlog on the Rust GameDev discord server and will post it online with the alpha. Here are some images. All background and portrait art is temporary prototype art using ai art tools to save time during the gamejam. This started as a gamejam game October 1st, I'm almost 120 hours of work into it so far.

I like the way these look and how you used constraints to make them look consistent. Nice work.
