Hey I'm Walter Massenhove, I've been making games with Unreal Engine for 4 years and really enjoy creating games, also worked on a VR project but it's not what I prefer.
I've released a game named A Maze In on itch.io and I hope you will like it : https://oualt.itch.io/amazein

What I really love is playing with procedural generation, I like not knowing what the levels I've coded will look like !

Hello!!

Hey I'm James I'm brand new to game dev I've never made anything before but I'm excited to give it a try. If anyone has any advice on 1st games I'd love to hear about it!

(+1)

Huh, I never realized that the Itch app actually had a forum. Expect me to be active here.


That said, my name is Nëïgsëndöïg Cöcülës (Neeg-sen-doyg Ko-kyu-uhls). I'm a gamer with almost 18 years of experience, and essentially a jack-of-all-trades in terms of gaming. I'm a user of Linux and Open-Source software, and plan on doing this for the rest of my life (mainly due to my threat model being relatively low, but I won't get there). I don't just game, as I also play music, write, create content on YouTube (CoculesNation for those interested), and mainly whatever I can get my hands on.

In terms of Game Dev, I did take a class in 12 grade US, but never got to code for those purposes. I was thinking of using an open-source engine with C++ as my language of choice. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Which distro do you use? I tried a few in a VM and settled on Mint, but had used Zorin for a while. I love the choice. Elementary OS tempted me as well. :-)

I currently use Nobara Project by GloirousEggroll, but I have used Mint, Manjaro, and Garuda.

Ah, I rememebr Garuda, very colourful. :-) Nobara is new to me, I'll have a look, thanks.

(+1)

Say you take Fedora, but fix up a lot of different aspects to make it point and click, but also high performing for gamers and content creators. That's what GloriousEggroll did with Nobara. If you go to nobaraproject.org, you'll find what he did for this project, with no affiliation to Fedora, despite being a Fedora engineer himself.

I'm Mike,


I've been playing video games since the Nintendo days. I love JRPGS and Adventure games. I love Final Fantasy Games as well shooters. Music is a major component for me in any game I play. It can literally make or break a game for me.

A year ago I got into composing music for fun. I've learned a lot in the past year and still have much more to learn but I've had fun creating music. I hope to get better and better with time. I'll be post projects from time to time.


See you out there!

I think you'd enjoy rhythm games. I happened to play a few myself.

You're probably right!

What do you recommend?

If you're into VSRG's, I'd recommend OutFox (New StepMania), osu!mania, Etterna (Keyboard StepMania) or Quaver. If not, then I play osu! std. (Standard).

(+1)

They're definitely challenging lol. I think the closest thing I to a VSRG was guitar hero and DDR. I was ok at guitar hero, not so much at DDR though.

DDR is a VSRG, but with feet essentially. GH is more of a different class of rhythm game as far as I know

One things for sure, my hand eye speed needs a lot of work lol. I was trying out Etternia and learned the hard way.

Who am I? I ask myself that a lot. A cat-owned reclusive author probably sums me up. Oh, and a game player. I started with an Atari 2600, then Atari 600XL, C64, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, then a 486. Various PCs with Windows, now moved on to Linux (Mint Cinnamon) for my new PC. Though I still play C64, Amiga and Spectrum games. :-) I recently redid my website to focus just on my books: https://karldrinkwater.uk/

I'm best known for space opera - my Lost Solace books (long-awaited book three out this month!). Oh, and all my books are reduced to 0.99 this week only as my summer sale. https://books2read.com/ap/xr55B8/Karl-Drinkwater

One day I'd like to investigate game jams or ways to licence people to create stuff based on my Lost Solace books.

Hello everyone! 

I'm Giorgos, an aspiring game developer with almost 2 years of  Unity experience, and am somewhat of a 2D artist, mainly drawing pixel art. I've been on a road to finishing a single game project recently, but it's been a non-stop flood of ideas and too many implementations of them, which led to all of my projects being abandoned. 

A few months back, I started a fan project, which I was sure I could finish, and even decided to make a dev-vlog about it. It was a boss-battle platformer, based on the manga "Chainsaw Man", and after grueling months of set-up for the game (making the code, the assets, etc...), I was demotivated to the point where I decided to move on from it, finding it difficult to both program and make the assets for the game.

Right now, I'm recuperating from game dev, and potentially finding an art partner for future projects, in case either of us will need to motivate the other to finish our project(s)  :)

My video game experience started with Space Wars and Pong. I got an Atari 2600 when it came out. I've casually played games on different consoles throughout my life. However, at the arcade, if there wasn't a Space Duel, I put my quarters into pinball and pool. My money went a lot further that way.

I learned a bit about programming teaching myself on my high school's TRS-80 Model IIIs. The staff had no idea what to do with them, so they let the few of us who were interested figure it out. My 1st home computer was a Sinclair ZX81. I did very little with the membrane keyboard. I moved up to an Atari 1200XL. I mostly programmed graphics and music. In college, I once sat in the library avoiding learning spreadsheets by writing a code breaking game in QBasic on a TRS-80 so I could sit there and play it. That's my only game so far.

I've been making many styles of art, craft, and music with various analog and digital devices most my life. I walked away from 2 computer graphics jobs in the 80's. I have a natural desire to create, but I was out of place among the business people who requested my services. So, I've been creating home décor, analog games, and gifts. My music has never been in demand. People would say my stuff sounds like video game music. I'm about to put that apparently natural ability to use. About a year ago, I started looking into making 2D video games.

About 5 years ago, I had a desire to put my dreams, which for me are eerie warnings of false realities in my waking state, into a 3D game. I got Blender's shortcuts down and learned things like parallax occlusion mapping in Unreal. I used Camel Audio's Alchemy to make unnerving new age music. Having spent most my life studying and working in the horror industry, the project was pretty frightening. I then had a revelation that frightening everyone wasn't going to fix anything. I got rid of my gaming rig I had acquired just for this purpose and got a laptop which I still use. I also got rid of my electric guitar and got a classical.

By the summer of 2020, my digital creativity was mostly with Arduino. Then, I watched V for Vendetta play out in real life. The Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality introduced me to itch.io. I was awed by the amount of mental exploration and discovery before me. I saw multiple pasts and paths. I found similarities and patterns. I found people who seemed to want to progress no matter what. The place felt unflappable. I experienced gaming in new ways and realized a lot about myself through the expressions of others. I am unable to give back monetarily at this point in my life, but I want to contribute through sharing. Through rigorous experimentation with games on itch, I've come to enjoy 2D pixel platform games the most. I've also come to appreciate the ease and unfolding complexity of Godot. My 2D platformer will always be free. I will enable the donation option, with 10% to itch, as I have been in debt with no income.

I'm having a good time being part of the many avenues of expression here. I appreciate all of you.

I'm Jawi, I've been messing with gamedev for about 6 years now and finally released my first game about a week ago.

I work with Unity, mainly 2d for now but i hope to make 3d games in the nearish future too.

I like lizards and cute horror stuff

Hey! I'm new here! Happy to join this community :)
