as much as i adore shmups, i wish i had more time to work on a game at all. good luck tho!

messing around with sonic worlds delta 1.2

I got a boost thing in there. still incomplete and pretty buggy. i wish i could use the latest worlds engine but it crashes for some reason whenever i open the executable. (probably because i'm using a mac that has wine running my windows apps)

okay so like question

is there anyone who A) has a week or two to spare and B) wants to make a quick little shootemup. if not i'm gonna try out pico-8 again because im really interested in it as a platform and its different from what ive worked in before

I keep hearing about this legendary "free time" but unfortunately I have yet to acquire any of it. Like Jazz I'd love to work on this if I could but I'm just too busy with other things and wouldn't be able to work on it reliably.

Figured I'd quote this cross-thread just so you all could see it over here too.

For $15 you get GM:S Pro, the HTML5 module, and all three Mobile modules.
The normal price of all of these is over $1000.

If you ever wanted to try your hand at developing games, this is a deal you absolutely should not pass up.

I dunno if this goes here, but I'll post it.

Do you think your engine can be ported to tablets devices ?

If someone has the patience to do it, I won't stop him/her.

isometric animal crossing starring toad?

toadimal crossing?

[TomGuycott]

Nah, it's gonna be a Toad treasure hunting game on the Genesis.

Toadstalker.

Toad was just a conveniently sized iso placeholder.

Game will be original IP

Itll also play similar to the board game Runebound as far as stats and combat go

Cross-posting from the gamer lounge:

Really interesting article for both gamers and developers about pixels vs voxels, as well as vector vs raster and how they all relate. A bit long but it has lots of images and was worth it in my opinion.

spent like 2 hours implementing this

what's the 'right' way to make graphics for Mobile games?
My phone is a Galaxy Note 4 which has a resolution of 1440 × 2560, many phones have 1080 × 1920 and the iPhone 7 is an oddball 750 × 1334.
I realise I could just export multiple assets for different resolutions but it just feels so wrong and stupid. But even so, simply scaling stuff up/down will break fine details like regular grids or thin lines. Any best practices to follow?
