game Game Developers Unite!

[Cobalt Phusion 17]

So, I'm sure we all love to play games, but sometimes we get bored of these games (not very often).

Have we any bronies who dare to take the first step into creating their very own game?

I'll start. Using Game Maker 8.1, I'm working on a platformer game involving Rainbow dash and a certain fanfiction.

So, if anypony has created something and would like to share/request feedback, please let me/us know!

Post a photo, link a video of you testing your game, or link your game for download and play for feedback.

Brony on!

I haven't seen that many game developers here and at any rate, most games don't finish and those that do usually take a very long time to finish. My coder and I have upgraded from gamemaker to Unity since gamemaker sucks majorly. It's not pony themed at all, but when we have something I guess I'll post it lol.

Not the latest update, but the latest I could record.

Since then I have added a whole ton of stuff, like mincers.

So, if you know how to make fraps record smoother for game maker, tell me. Cause I drop to 14 fps, and that doesnt work well.

This look pretty cool! I've only made games on flash so i don't think i can be much help! But make sure to tell me when the games out!

I've made a text adventure called Savior!

It's about a boy who saves the world and sacrifices himself to save it!

I made it using Javascript.

I've always wanted to attempt game development.

Unfortunately I'm one of those people who's imagination always exceeds my talent.

 

I might try and return to development this summer since I've got nothing but free time!

Actually, the game is the only thing it won't record. If you look at the other videos I have, thats on the same computer. Minecraft Far/Fancy 32 bit texture pack and skype running. I'm looking into it.

 

Also: An update (No video/photos right now)

I have a sprite team, and an audio team. SO.... work will go a whole lot faster.

Those games are also utilizing a lot more efficient coding and are compiled into more efficient languages (Java and C++). I forgot what language Gamemaker compiles into, but they are changing it to C compile in the gamemaker studio. Either way, Gamemaker isn't a very good engine and I encourage you to try a different engine such as unity because the longer you stay, the harder the transition will be when you finally want to make unique games.

Man, I wish I could show off my game I made for my art class, because I'm super proud of it, but I lost all the files when I formatted my netbook

 

I do have some ambient music I made for it and some background stuff that was going to be in the transition from immortal to mortal (the art project was to make a modernization of Adam and Eve)

Hay i love what you are doing, but i think you need to "level up" on game making. Stop using gamemaker. It makes the game to be super heavy for your processor, ram and video-card. Try to learn more complicated coding. I recommend c++ if you like to make 3D stuff, because most of the engines already made are coded with it. For web games i recommend java. Java is pretty popular, but it's losing it's fan-base, because people think it's too heavy. The reality is that it only uses more ram than c++ does. But it's great for 2D to 3D games.

 

To put long story short: Don't use gamemaker. Learn to code.

(Not trying to offend or anything, but gamemaker really sucks)

 

Oh and I'm in middle of making My Little Pony styled version of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon with java. Just copied the idea of dungeons and a town, but that's pretty much it. The idea was suggested from fellow brony on the topic i created.

The only problem is: I can't draw. Good thing one of my friend promised to help me on that, but still i don't want to put too much pressure on him so it might take a long time to finish.

 

The coding part is going alright. I had some trouble with transparency making the game super heavy for my video-card, but the problem is solved now and everything is going smoothly.

I know lua, and I use love2d for games.

Your game really looks more interesthing but i think there are some aspecs you can inprove; rainbbow dash heeds a K.O. animaton and the graphics you use are too simple maybe if you want i can help you in this aspects. If i do this is because i like the design of your game and i think it can have a lot of potencial (sorry for my bad english)

All credit will be given to those who respectfully need it when I release the game.

 

Here's the alpha/trial version.
