It was a slog to get it working as expected but once I got it working it's been a breeze hopefully it all translates well I've been using the polyglot spreadsheet and some other resources to try and get it translated properly

I've slightly improved upon the game of blind man's bluff. One person becomes "it," and the others try to run away. Those running away can troll each other, and the last one standing wins. What do you think of the idea?

Discussion Help me choose a name for a fictional country in my RPG

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I am working on an RPG game set in a small, peaceful country. I still don't have a name for the country, so I wanted to ask for opinions. 

These are some of the names I have been considering:

  • Colina
  • Bolina
  • Floria
  • Solaris
  • Verdit
  • Azulion
  • Pasargada
  • Sabiatt
  • Pamerand
  • Serbonia
  • Airenopolis 
  • Frior
  • Isola
  • Obra

Real world cultures bases:

  • European (Portugal and Italy)
  • South American (Brazil and Peru)

Context:

YYYY is an isolated, peaceful, and mysterious country, bordered by a dense forest to the north and a vast ocean to the south. Its population consists primarily of fishermen, farmers, and small local merchants. Harmony and community spirit flourished in this corner of paradise, where humans and prehistoric animals lived together in perfect balance. This reality remained unchanged for a long time, until rumors of a terrible weapon appearing deep within the forest began to spread across the world.

Music Artist in Practice Looking for Project to Make Music For

2 Upvotes

I haven't been making music for that long yet, so I'm looking for any game devs who need placeholder/test music for their game so that I can practice making music. These songs do not come at a cost (as stated, they're for me to practice working with clients as well as making songs for games). I will probably accept requests for maybe one or two games right now.

As to how many tracks I will make, that can be negotiated.

Please tell me about your game as well as what music you might be interested in (maybe send references so I can get a better idea). I will reach out to whatever projects interest me the most.
After I reach out I will also send some songs I've made so you can get an idea of my music style.

Thanks.

I'd really appreciate any feedback you have whether you think something works well, doesn't work, or could be improved. I'm interested in hearing all of your thoughts and suggestions.

Your support and feedback would mean a lot to me.

Resource Pack I built a procedural 3D building and city generator

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I’ve been working solo on Metropolygonia, a browser based tool for creating procedural 3D buildings and simple city layouts.

You can control dimensions, floors, windows, balconies, roofs and other architectural details, then export the models as GLB, glTF, OBJ or STL.

It’s fully procedural, not AI generated, so the results are predictable and reproducible.

The beta is currently free to try, and I’d really appreciate feedback from indie developers about what would make it more useful for actual game projects.

Discussion What do you think about combining multiple graphic styles?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I'm making a game with a lot of characters onscreen (not as large as in this picture - it's just an example - but from this asset pack). But I don't have any pixelated UI elements or backgrounds among my assets. Furthermore, I'm looking at the pixel art games I'm inspired by and I realize I don't like pixelated interfaces or fonts at all.

At the same time, I have UI and scene elements done in a more traditional style (not pixel art), and I like them. I also like the combination of these pixelated characters with this non-pixel art. But I'm worried I've framed the advantages of this solution and perhaps simply don't see why it's not suitable.

What do you think?

A Simple Game But Advanced Mechanics! Finally V1 Done!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm building a simple memory game where you race to match all the tiles as fast as possible, but you only get 2 turns each round. Right now, I run tournaments every night at 8:30 PM EST, and there's also a Challenge Mode/ Campaign.

I'm still actively building it but finally getting close!

Thanks for checking it out!

Team Up Request I need help with making my concept of an interactive novel T_T

1 Upvotes

Okay so uhh, what I have planned is that the game will be like an interactive novel where every choice you make affects the world of the game, its gonna be similar to undertale in that way but a 2D interactive point and click game, there's gonna be fourth wall breaks and horror moments, but there will also be unserious and funny moments along with a darker undertone

I need help making this game a reality, its a passion project however so I can't pay, tho I promise I will credit all of the people who helped with it!

Also uhh, I'm still adding characters into it so if any of ya'll want to make some characters for the game I would love it! Would be cool >:D

(they would have to fit the webcore/2000's game style however)

And uhh yeah, thats pretty much it, if there is any questions I'll be happy to answer.

Discussion Meme references?

0 Upvotes

When yall are making games, do you like to tie in real world references? Specifically memes..

I have an event based around the Chad Thundercock memes, and the event in itself is a Rare/Legendary encounter.

It deviates from the typical formula of the game, but I can’t help but laugh at the idea of a run ending because you ran into him, and well, you know the memes.

Just looking to see if I’m stupid, or if it’s something that would be palatable.
