The path into game development really depends on where you're starting from. Some people start with an idea or thing they want to see in a game and learn skills as they go. Others master art or programing first and either find a counterpart or eventually branch out into the other discipline while working on different…
my bad. I reread the thread. You're asking for insight into the perspective of a hypothetical game developer (one that only makes gambling games) what their thoughts are on joining a roblox-like platform for building gambling games, and that your friend is working on building this platform/system. Personally I'd think game…
I am back again =) Guess what! I decided to join the project B) Still can't share much details but want to ask your opinion on one thing. This platform/engine will offer to the small (could be not small actually it doesn't matter) dev teams or solo devs or even persons with no previous dev experience all the necessary…
I mean it just sounds like a really niche target audience. Maybe expand it to allow the inclusion of X-rated games as well? Recently payment processors have overstepped their powers; https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mastercard-responds-to-censorship-allegations-after-forcing-storefronts-to-remove-adult-games/1100-6533641/…
Awesome, good luck! Before diving in, try out a few game engines and see which one clicks for you: * https://godotengine.org/ * https://unity.com/ * https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US Start really small. A 2D sidescroller or top-down game is perfect. Just make a tiny bit of a level, then park it and try something…
Good news everyone! We’re about to run a closed test of the platform we discussed here aimed at solo developers and small teams. Right now I’m inviting 4-5 devs to try it in test mode You’re building games solo or in a small team and enjoy experimenting you are welcome to try it among the first ones. If this sounds…
"[...] Back to the main thing - I met an old friend of mine a while ago and he shared with me the project he is working on. I am not able to share the details but long story short it is kind of a game engine (not something revolutionary new I get it) but the thing that caught my attention wasn’t the tech itself, but the…
First of all thank you all for sharing your experience and thoughts. To make my perspective a bit clearer, I’ll share some background. The thing I believe matters is that I am not a dev of any kind
As far as I am now 40yo my more then 20 years professional experience lies into business development, account management etc…
it sounds like you're an ideas guy and in gamedev purely to make money, which is the no.1 reason why thousands of devs were laid off in recent years. Your plan is to go the path of Roblox; which has a predatory developer platform, but you also want to add gambling to the mix too. Add in some tasty developer drama to the…
