Why aren't there any Persona clones? It takes fucking years for a new Persona game to come out so there's free money to make one for those who likes these kind of games. Is the social links system patented or something?

New Gamedev thread. This is thread is only for people who have deved something. Don't post in this thread if you're just an idea bro who has never deved anything in their life.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.

Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.

So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

I just beat this game, I remember seeing another discussion thread about this game but I can't find it, but I want to talk about the game, full spoilers.

I love DE but fucking hate ZA/UM does anyone have a similar case where they hate the company but love the game. what they did to the devs was dirty and unfair, i wanna like the game again but the suits are making me hate it

Legitimately, who does this trailer appeal to? Who is their target audience? I know that there's rightoids who are mad at it, but I saw the trailer and the biggest thing that hit me is that I have no idea who was supposed to see this trailer about a plain, bald lady in a Porche RV spaceship with anime playing in it being kind of annoying and rude to another lady while insisting that she wants to go to some planet to look for some guy that you've never heard of.

I can accept when I'm not the target demographic. Like, I tried the demo of Life is Strange and it really hit me while I was playing it that it wasn't really a bad game, I just wasn't the target demographic. I look at this and I really don't know who they're trying to sell this to.

I’m playing far cry 2 with redux+ realism and I’m amazed by the level of immersion and sense of control I have over my time with it. The mod fully disables all in-game features to assist the players availing to navigate the map meaning your paper map and some screens showcasing your location is all you get to figure out where to go. I’ve navigated my way through several missions off my own accord, having to learn to be patient with outposts, run the fuck away from anything that looks like trouble and fight with barely any ammo is such a unique experience you can’t create in so many games. The world itself even without mods is beautiful and every hour I spend playing makes me feel like I’m genuinely apart of it, something you wouldn’t typically get from a non roleplaying game.

Admittedly don't know much about horse racing myself so if you got more links feel free to share.

Wizards: elemental spells, summons, soul manipulation, portal creation, shape shifting, conjuring, necromancy, healing, and regeneration powers (maybe silent casting).
Superheroes: usually one signature ability (flight may be included as a secondary ability) followed by generally high base physical prowess
Espers: teleportation, telekinesis, telepathy, mind control, barrier creation, force blasts, flight, reality manipulation, extra dimensional attacks and movement options, instant reflexes, full battlefield awareness, intelligence usually at or just slightly shy of a wizard/magic user at base or functionally boundless at best, future sight

I was kind of intending this thread to be a storehouse of replies for

<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?

where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.

For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.

Then there's also Tamriel Reborn that seems like it isn't just a remake of the original, but actually expands on the original Morrowind, I guess to add back in all of the content that had to be cut. Apparently they've been going at it since 2001.

Then there's DOOM, which has just had an insane amount of work done on it and with it since it was released. It's actually pretty amazing to see what people are capable of doing with it after so long.
