Thanks! Perfect; I plan to use it ASAP!
I've started https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/gamedev (!gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone) and it had a much larger influx of members already than I expected. Very nice :)
and horror is a very comforting genre
We are very different people 😀
I do all of my games as open source projects under the GPL 3 license
That is so amazing, thank you. Really cool
Hoping I can publish on Steam
I have not published something on Steam myself yet, but I've paid the publishing fee ($100) for a game I'm working on yet, so I can test all the Steam API integration and easily update the game for the few people that help me test. The process seems very straight-forward.
Haha my bad. It is also still quite vague in some parts, and I don't want to pin myself too hard yet :D
But I'm very inspired by games like RimWorld, Factorio and the Shadowrun Returns series, but also games like Hacknet, Sheltered, Zachtronics games and even elements from Rust and Vampire Survivors lol.
Listing them like that makes zero sense, but from some games it's the specific artstyle or a GUI component, from others its the interaction or gameplay loop. I hope I can mix it together to something unique that will stand out as its own thing.
Thread is totally fine! Thanks! :D
I'm currently writing my own semi-engineless game (I don’t want to say that I’m building my own engine, but I do have some reusability for my own sake) while figuring out SDL2. Not enough defined of the game yet since I'm still learning where to go while working on the tech stack, but I have some ideas inspired by various games to create an unique mix. Will absolutely show it off when I have something to share.
!gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone now with proper link :) Tried linking it on mobile using the new Mlem iOS app and managed to crash it. :D
I figured with how splintered a federated service can become, it might be essential to start a list like this. Feel free to suggest any others you find relevant!
