Hello everyone. Been using this site to get assets and am finally ready to do an actual release of, as I call it "GB 0.01", game. Look forward to getting feedback, and hopefully rent money, in the near future.
Welcome DiddlerGames! Good luck with your release and hope that you're doing it because you like developing and not just the cash I mean the cash helps of course but have to have the right reasons for starting
Welcome in the Community !!! I underline the same words that Walg used in the previous post ; if you want to have more success and you wish that people follow you and you work , you need to make thinks with love and to participate to this forum , showing that you are really want to be part of it !!
I am making it with 3 goals in mind. 1 is out of a desire to create a game, 2 is to get more skill so can make commercial games, and 3 is money, which is only because of expenses and such so I can become a full time developer.
I wish you luck with your project. That being said though, pretty much every developer I have seen who said the above line, has ended.... less than optimally. I think almost all new developers I see have "going full time" as their end goal, and with the exception of Runey, I don't recall a single of them who hasn't crashed and burned.
If you are passionate about your project, and make it because you truly desire to do so, then it will show in the result and then the rest will come on its own. Hopefully everything works out for you. Welcome aboard!
I know how to manage my expectations. Even the first thing I have right now. It looks like shit. And I know that. The UI is going to be overhauled, the way things display is going to be overhauled, and how thing progress will be overhauled. The thing you guys won't see is the code I already have written. Everything is set up so I can add in new sprites and content and only need to change a handful of lines. I wanted a very simple base product to show the concept before reworking it. As for time till "full time programming", I have patience. I do things that have 0 return or feedback because I enjoy it. This is just the beginning, and I have many ideas for porn games, and commercial games alike. Time is all I need.
