I’m a bit younger that’s most devs but I have wanted to make a game for a long time and I’ve had many ideas for different games. However I don’t have a team to help me out.

Should I still try or not

I made a map a while back and I’ve been thinking about making a fantasy hyper reality type game, I have some ideas down but I want to involve you all kind of like how old Minecraft did and some other games. I’ll post the map and let you guys throw some ideas at it, thanks!

Hello people of this subreddit. I’m looking for a group or creating a one with individuals that want to start as a game makers with no experience. Everyone wants to achieve something in life, so why not make an amazing game together.

I've been creating maps on source for over a year. I'm nowhere near to mastering it now but I see if I keep trying I'll become really good at it. that being said I've begun to start wondering what I should do afterwards. I'm really into indie horror games such as scp containment breach and slender man. if anyone can help recommend and engine or some sort of plan that would be greatly appreciated. (note. this is my first reddit post and I'm not really sure how this goes.)

So I have always wanted to make a game that is a mix of minecraft 7days to die and stranded deep and I want it to have the terrain and structures of my home county but I don't know anything about coding or game making. If anyone could help me with anything i would appreciate it

Me and my friends are making a 2D adventure game....we don't have a lot of people, so anyone care to join?

I am subscribed to something called Scratch for kids where you can code. I am planning on making a fan-made version of Among Us but i need to somehow get the skeld map. But it cant be an image. I can make the wall and object barriers and stuff if i need to but all i need is like a player kind of map for a game production so that includes it being high-res and walkable on, if you know what i mean. I basically need a playable game map for game making. Thank you for your help

Hey I trying to learn to code games so I was hoping someone could tell me a good engine that is free

Hi Reddit! :)

So, I'm a person who wants to do alot of things in life, and making a game is one of them. Thing is, I know absolutely nothing about programming.

-The game I want to make would be made in 2D. -The game would be similar to the Sims 4, Tomodachi life, Stardew Valley, and Cult of the Lamb, with certain aspects I like about them combined basically.

I would love there to be SO many creative options. Such as the character creation section, and the world building. I basically want it so you can do almost anything you would like in the game.

This game would be perfect for those who have characters / OC's, you could watch them get up to all kinds of shenanigans, see how they interact with eachother, build cute little homes for them, and much-much more. It can be one of those games you can sit back and play after a long day.

There is so much I've already wrote down / drawn about this game, and I dream that one day I can share it with the world.

I guess what my main questions are, is:

-Should I learn how to program and do it by myself? Or should I save up some money and ask a company to help me out? -I know how to draw, and over the years Im confident to say I've gotten pretty good at it. I like doing digital art, so mabye if I go down the company route, I could work on a bunch of the art-y aspects of it mabye? (Becuase I don't want to just be known as the one who came up with the idea, I definitely would love to help out with my own creation.) -Should I build up a portfolio of everything about the game and then present it to the world to see who would like playing it?

I guess that's it, Thank you for reading, and have a great day!

Good day, Friends!

I am currently storyboarding and designing the core gameplay loop of a game project.
I want to combine a visual novel style game with a 2D Gameworld like Stardew Valley, where the character can choose where to go and depending on various parameters, different things can/will happen when interacting on certain places. Basically have different interactions with characters depending on the parameters.

Depending on the choices made during encounters, certain variables need to be saved for the user, so that these can be called upon to change future events and modifiers.
I also need a way to store simple items that then are usuable during VN encounters in order to change percentages of outcomes.
Think of it a little bit like a mix between Project Zomboid, a VN and a Stardew Valley/Pokemon like 2D Game.

I am currently reading up on various free to use engines that might offer what I need but I am so far unable to find a perfect fit. I am a novice to intermediate programmer so I am contemplating writing the entire thing on my own but that would take a lot of time from other parts of the story.

Maybe some of you can point me in the right direction.

I made a stupid game called monkey is tactical, just something I thought was funny. It was a simple shooting game made in pocket code. I used pngs of my 3d models and used it for graphics. Then I turned it into a game called Iron Casket, a slightly more story focused game I haven't finished. The characters are humans and are soldiers, If anyone would like to help code it I'll send the game when finished and the graphics And sound Fx. The best I can do is 10 bucks with cash app I'm kinda broke just comment if you want to help.

Hi, I am a person who has ideas!! I'd like to make/direct the creation of an indie horror game. I very much enjoy writing lore for things, and already have some very strong ideas.

This will be a personal passion project of mine, not something like the recent cash-grabs within the indie horror genre, and hopefully it won't end up as something targeted towards children. I hope to see this project to the end.

I'm looking for people that might be interested in helping me make this thing!

As for what the game's about, well, all I'll say for now is that it involves an "eternal" circus.

I don't wanna share too much just in case this project doesn't go anywhere!

Hop on over to Soundcloud and snag you some free game music/loops for all (most :P) assortment of levels and game types. Hundreds of free songs to choose from.

Soundcloud profiles: Free Game Music 1 or Free Game Music 2; (some songs in collab with Ogneram.)

Reach me on FrGaMu1:SCloud to ask for special requests if necessary. I just require you credit my name or profile, maybe show me the game when you're done. Let me know which songs you're using if you have time to so I know which styles to make more of.

I’m planning to make a game with the help of RPG maker, and I have no idea where to start. I’m 13, and have no idea how to get any needed licenses and definitely do not want to get into legal trouble. I have no idea where and how to start, and no prior experience. Help & tips?

The gameplay in a matchmaker game set in fantasy times where the ultimate goal is to destroy the kingdom because "love is the most powerful magic of all" could be quite unique and interesting. Here's a possible outline of how the game might work:

Storyline: The game would start with an introduction to the story, which would involve a powerful wizard or sorceress who believes that love is the ultimate power in the world. The wizard/sorceress wants to prove this to everyone by using their magical abilities to help people find their soulmates. However, the kingdom's ruling family doesn't believe in love and wants to suppress the wizard/sorceress's powers. The player takes on the role of the wizard/sorceress's apprentice, and the goal of the game is to help the wizard/sorceress prove the power of love by destroying the kingdom.

Matching gameplay: The core gameplay of the game would revolve around matchmaking. The player would need to match different characters based on their likes, dislikes, and personalities to help them find their true love. The player would need to pay attention to the characters' preferences, strengths, and weaknesses to make the right matches.

Magic spells: The player would have access to a range of magical spells that they could use to influence the characters' choices and behaviors. For example, the player could cast a spell that makes a character more attracted to another character or a spell that causes a character to break up with their current partner.

Resource management: The player would also need to manage their resources carefully. They would need to collect magical ingredients and resources to cast spells, and they would need to balance their budget to avoid running out of resources.

Mini-games: The game could also include mini-games that would test the player's skills in different areas. For example, the player might need to solve puzzles or engage in combat to protect their characters from the kingdom's soldiers.

Multiple endings: Depending on the player's choices and actions, the game could have multiple endings. If the player succeeds in matching the right characters and using their spells effectively, they could destroy the kingdom and prove the power of love. However, if the player fails to make the right matches or runs out of resources, they could be caught and punished by the kingdom's rulers.

So my cousin and I are looking into making a game based off of a story she wrote, but we're not sure what engine(s) we should learn and use for said project. The meat and potatoes of the game (As we have it planned) is going to be a Madou Monogatari-style dungeon crawler, but with top-down overworld travel and semi-isometric town/building interaction, all 2D and pixels by the way. Obviously that won't be the first game we make; we'll probably make a couple of smaller 'test' games first to get our feet wet and learn the engine before even attempting anything the scale we're looking at for this game. We need an idea of WHAT engine would be best for this type of game first, though. Cousin has a copy of Clickteam Fusion she got on deep discount a while back, but we're under the impression that that's an engine more meant for platformers? Sorry if I sound absolutely blind here, there's just so many engines out there now that we're not sure where to start.

So ive got a game designed rules the cards how piece move etc. I just dont know anything about how make a game. Im looking for someone or someones who knows how to build a game i can. Put up on steam to get our names out there ive got other games im working. On so this would be the test to see if. This is something i could continue to do going forward. It would most likley be a free game. To gain recognition but if i charged i would split all profits with anyone who helped. If younare intrested please dm me

Hey, in this video I talk about my simple steps to find the right game engine for you without even experimenting. If you don't really know what the advantages and disadvantages of an engine are I cover this aswell. Enjoy watching! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydTk-TvBTRM

Hey in my new video I talk about my strategies to stay motivated on a long term project. I used these for my own project which I've been working on for over 13 months. Hope they help you finishing your projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkwCzmXeHkY
