You've all been very generous with your words, thank you!

I could ask you the same questions about Tower of the Unknown and I think your answers would be similar to mine I really want to play that game.

Pappenheimer - For the 2D RPG, that was just myself coding it with the resources I had, part time over a period of 4 months. Very little was spent on the game, around 600 US ish. Nope I don't make a living from what I do, it's all hobby work.

David hobbyist or not I among others admire your work! Everything looking very professional. Nice style and seems fun to play. OT that combat system, well what can I say the only problem with it was the navigation if objects where to complex. For the rest I can only dream of creating something like that in the future, although your movement contribution has put me a little in the right direction.

About that first (jail) game I think your mood/style has improved a great deal

these videos were amazing, the first one is my favorite. Everything looks so polished, so professional. I hope you continue them cause these are great.

BTW are you leaving 3d Gametudio or stopping game development or something? You sound like your leaving

This hasn't been an overnight transformation of my skills it's been hard work for several years.
My advice to anyone new to using gamestudio, if you post your work on this forum it will be criticised and there's nothing you can do about it. If your first project is the worst looking in the entire world then you have achieved and created something. There are two outlooks on one's work that I tend to see crop up, one is a blind sense of achievement, it's when some people really believe that the 'bad' work they've produced is God's gift to mankind, and the other is when you post your work and your first feedback is negative it's easy to feel like giving up, thinking that what you've achieved is worth the crits given to it.

In one breath you don't want to blindly believe that your work is great and really isn't, it really shows when someone believes that. On the other hand don't get down about the crits and what your work fails to be. It's about comparing your work, when you compare your first game project to commercial products out there it simply doesn't meet the standard. You got to realise that gaining the skills and experience to produce the level of quality you see in commercial games takes alot of time, frustration and hard work. Everytime you work on something new don't look at what it fails to be but look at what you've achieved and learnt, because as long as you keep trying and keep learning you will keep getting better and better and that is the path to success. You have to believe in yourself because it is highly unlikely the people around you will.




Great effort with excellent advice.I love it all David and thank you for sharing.

Nope, the 3DGS working from home trying to succeed game development process sometimes tires me and leaves me skeptical...that might be why.

Know what you are saying, I can make it happen for me only when I know what I am doing but I can't seem to keep my eyes open for long enough

The only other way for me to keep motivated is to make small casual games which I often over complicate and before too long, get stuck on scripting them.

So maybe its back to the old side scrollers and top scrollers again to get some feeling of completion happening

i remember the 2D rpg, which you showed me before, and i like it alot, i'd play the hell outta that game, the strategy game, not so much, the graphics are impressive, and the lightmaps look great, but it's not really my cup of tea

tell me when you have a playable version of the 2D one

btw dude, i really think you shouldn't quit working on the indie side of game dev, remember, some indie's talents are rewarded, and some become big name companies, before they became big they had to start somewhere
