/og/ - Other Games

Ironically, I don’t like games (films, books, and whatever also) with time travel as its main theme.
But nothing can fit to everybody’s taste. Trying to create a game based around other people’s liking isn’t a very productive way of creating games, >>3705 is right in that you should create a game to your liking, following your own interests, and then some people will like it while others won’t.
I advise you to plan the story, characters, environments and everything else, at least to a basic level, before actually starting to create the game. If you’re thinking of working on the game right away and that the planning will occur to you as you go along then you’re going for a harsh surprise, and chances are you’re going to give up on the game before even completing half of it.

A few things I learned from trying to make an RPGmaker game with a friend, none of us having any experience:

*You have to start by making boring unfulfilling games for practice before trying to make better stuff, trying to start with an idea you are in love with will only get you frustrated

*You have to be wary of keeping it real too, it's very easy to fall in love with the new idea you supposedly made for practice, always remember yourself your first games are going to be SHITTY

*Unless you learn how to code you will have to stick to programs like RPG maker like most of people on this board

*Don't be foolish enough to believe you will find anyone who will do all the technical stuff for you while you just sit back and just be the ideas guy, it's pretty much impossible

*Even if you do find someone that situation can only end up badly, he will end up either butting too much into your creative process, try to hijack the project or get tired of it, there needs to be an ambiance of mutual effort for it to work

*If you don't want to be a programmer at least learn to do some helpful stuff like drawing, spriting, sound effects or music making, it will make it much easier for you to find people willing to help you

Thanks for the really helpful advice! I'll be sure to keep all that in mind. I also wouldn't mind doing art for someone's game since that'd give me good experience, I think.

Can you make a game where you can design your own house and garden? And maybe setup a cafe or something that you open every other day because you'd be too busy arranging your house and garden.

Unless you have a fairly exact vision of what you want i can guarantee you that you will not get past the alpha stage.

Making a game is much tougher than it looks, you will have great problems with motivation very quickly.

pretty neat, after checking out a handful of houses and all the generated paintings+soundclips I walked into the sea and got lost hoping there was something beyond

I like the auto-run mechanic when outside of a building. More exploration games should have something like that.

It's a pretty good game.. shame the mods never got translated like was talked about.

I would be if I had people to play with. I've wanted to get into it for years, the most I've ever done is play half a session of DnD with two other people, one of whom got incredibly pissed by us not going by his exact plans for us and did the tabletop game equivalent of throwing the board over.

>I would be if I had people to play with.

That's what I hear from everyone but really how is this possible on the internet? There is http://roll20.net/ or just skype or whatever, it's so strange that we can't make a group to play something.

It's of course nothing like some irl ("table-top") gaming but still viable.

Oh, the kickstarter for the new Wraith edition: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/deluxe-wraith-the-oblivion-20th-anniversary-editio

You can show me your garden layout + stuff.

Also, Viva Pinata: TIP Camera photos are very welcome on this thread, please drop by.

If you turn on the Fashion SLR in your Garden other than the Demo Garden, it gets activated, doesn't explain to you what Piñata Vision is and how it works unlike the demo.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxJs_R7Ssyk is part of my sheriffbullock creepypasta/ARC, but it's not part of this thread.

(The reason I placed this was because I didn't feel like putting out a full link (creepypasta-wise). I will post up a new thread regarding Viva Pinata Garden Designs very soon)

I haven't been playing a lot of newer games, but if we're talking past, I really loved Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2, Lunar Silver Star Story, Descent, Odyssey: The Legend of Nemesis, most of the 2D Zelda franchise, and maybe a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting. I'd probably say that Dark Cloud 2 could be my favorite game in memory.

Been playing a lot of Professor Layton recently since I bought Miracle Mask but I started playing LoZ: Spirit Tracks because my sister let me borrow it.

I play like a ton of series mainly those from PS1/2 and DS/3DS (Final Fantasy, SMT games, Vanillaware games, Pokemon, Mario and Luigi RPGs, DMC, Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank, Elite Beat Agents ect ect)

Funny coincidence, I started replaying Cave Story tonigh–
>besides indie games
fuck

My favorite games are probably Earthbound, Mother 3 and Chrono Trigger. I also love the Ace Attorney series (though I haven't played either of the two newest installments since I don't have a 3DS and can't read moon-runes), Hotel Dusk (I actually got the sequel for my last birthday but I lost my old DS… after getting a new charger for it so I could play it), Pikmin and Pikmin 2 (haven't played 3 due to, again, not having a newfangled console for it) and also some strategy stuff like Galactic Civilizations 2 and World In Conflict. Max Payne is also great. Yoshi's Island has a special place in my heart as the first game I ever beat on my own.

Well, some of my favorite (non indie) games are:
Catherine
Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy X
Persona 3 and Persona 4
Journey
Bioshock 2
The Last Of Us
Dragon Quest VIII
Kingdom Hearts (the first one)
Aaaaand I'd list all the game I have, but my older sister hid them all after an argument we had so I'm currently on a scavenger hunt for them, and my anime collection. Which reminds me that I haven't checked the attic yet…
Well, wish me luck.

Viva Piñata above all else!

There was a translation group called Shangrila Team that was going to release an English at some point. They haven't made any updates in months and it seems that their website is down, at least for now.

Thanks. I was wondering why the site was down.

Probably not gonna play that since it looks jap-text heavy.

looks pretty interesting but yeah, fucking moonrunes

Lesson here: learn to read tags.

I won't give the answer right away, because I think it's instructive for you to learn something here. It's in the tags somewhere.

I have encountered ones where tags indicating the game are absent, due to too many games being present. I'd be inclined to give the answer if it was extra difficult like that. This one, though, does have all the tags.

The purple-haired girl is from a game called 点滴ファイター (Tenteki Faitaa), which translates to (IV) Drip Fighter. I'm not sure if there has ever been a translation of the game, but the official Japanese site has stopped distribution of the game. From what I can gather it's not allowed to distribute, modify, make videos containing game footage, stream the game, etc., so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Please note that I am not in any way fluent in Japanese and simply tried to make sense of what Google Translate gave me. If there's any errors in what I just said, then my apologies. I tried.
