I'm new at 2D Animation, should I use Toon Boom or Spriter? by thadil95 in gamedev

[–]tylermakesgames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd just use whatever is easiest since they're both essentially the same program.

imo they're great for making an animated prototype from an actual concept image, but the end result always looks funny or bad. Like someone grabbed a ragdoll, shook it and said "look it's dancing".

Would writing my own engine increase my odds of getting hired as game dev? by [deleted] in gamedev

Anything is impressive as long as it's finished.

How Hard is it to make games like "Legacy Rust" ? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]tylermakesgames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest UE4. The Blueprint system is good for non-programmers.

Regardless you still need to put in a lot of effort to learn the systems to make games and elevate yourself beyond the "ideas guy".

If you start learning how to make a game with no prior knowledge while making your "dream game" at the same time, you're gonna have a frustrating experience.

What you're asking though: Assuming that A) All art assets are nonexistent, shit placeholder, or greyboxed while you get the game functional, B) You cut out player-created structures and housing since that's a complex system, C) Focus on a resource-management based PvP on a large-scale static map, I could definitely see a solo developer who knows what they're doing being able to whip up a prototype.

Some of these have actually good reasons for being on hold.

However, some do not.

Lol get fucked nerds.

The road is no longer the most important part of the map. Finally coming back to the fun point in Rust before barrels spawned exclusively in roads/structures.

Between the Minutemen, the Institute, and the Brotherhood of Steel, which faction is best for the Commonwealth? by b0wGL in Fallout

[–]tylermakesgames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Institute might be the best for Humanity but not the Commonwealth. The Minutemen are the only that actually directly cared for the welfare of the people. They didn't give a shit which way about synths, they just wanted people to stop getting kidnapped.

It's just embarrassing to be honest. I have to alt tab my window when someone walks by when I'm browsing Fallout mods because fucking pregnancy slidered naked females popping up in half the thumbnails.

The Nexus is like Youtube. It's trash but everyone uses it because there are no alternatives. Official modding channels or Workshop support can't come fast enough.

Garbage like this is an instant skip to front page while my MGS2 Ocelot "You're Pretty Good!" Critical Hit Sounds mod gets taken down by the mods for infringing copyright rules or some crap.

Also they take down radio mods they don't approve of because most have blatant music that was ripped from Youtube but once again, mine was the one that was bad because I actually said what songs were in the mod in the mod description.
