Aghast August: augh, make a game already!

We’re three weeks into May, and I’m not any further on the thing I was going to do. On the other hand, this was just an evolution of a project I’d been working on in January, and that’s half-finished, rather than barely started. So today I worked on that. Anybody else still making progress?

i’m working on something but it won’t be ready for a long time and it’s also a secret?? also it’s not strictly an original game.

hm.

why am i posting it here then

It’s June, this thread needs an update

The adult game I’ve been working on since the end of 2017 is sooo close to completion. It’s a small game but it took so long because I’m a fuck up and I stop working on it for months on end and only continue when I get a burst of energy. These bursts have been coming faster though because of new medication.

I’ve got three (3!) points left on my to do list!

It’s been a real struggle to get this far.

My advice for fellow struggling artists is never give up unless you kinda feel like it and always come back after you gave up unless you don’t feel like it

This month it’s a tiny porn game. In a few years time it will be triple A tribble X games

I’m done, I’m done! Hands off, it’s going gold!

Do videogames still go gold in this day and age? I mean things are still being pressed onto golden CDs and bluesnews is still reporting about it, right?

I’m building the distribution files and then I’ll test it out once more. On my girlfriend’s laptop and on my android phone. These are the only devices I can really test on but I think I should be fine. Kinda worried that I’m not trying it out on a 4k monitor but ren’py should resize just fine… Maybe I’ll hook my PC up to our TV. I did that before for Monster Hunter World and it went up to 4k.

The coming days are all about making pretty store pages. And then finally settling it. I swear I will just let it go live and then not check sales or anything for a week because I really don’t want to know. I don’t want to know about bugs or user reviews or money. Just… Nothing. I want nothing for a week.

No, it’s too hot! No one makes games in July and no one releases games in July, it’s a videogames rule

Seriously though, what do you want to make?

videogames, with jumping (the time honored art)

That’s cool! I hope it will have a double jump

double jump but it takes actual forethought to pull off and will instantly plummet you down if you fail the timing

That takes away half the use of a double jump. One use being to jump higher/farther and the other being saving your ass when you mess up the initial jump.

I like the idea!

now i’m trying to imagine how a classicvania would have implemented double jumps. though i suppose the damage boosts work a bit like that, intentional or not

Like Ghosts 'n Goblins probably. Or was it Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

The timing of the double jump being (too) tight would be the perfect thing for streamers to complain about

Always gotta think about the streamers nowadays

Shinobi 3 has a notoriously finnicky double jump.
