I did struggle with the program crashing and locking up my system frequently. Though it took a bit of re-adjusting to the UI, overall some of the annoyances I had with Blender feel more or less resolved in the update. I did hit a snag because I was using Blender 2.7 and upgraded to 2.9, which has a huge set of changes (which I think were mostly introduced in 2.8).

I'm already familiar with Blender so it was a no-brainer to keep using that (I did take a brief look at picoCAD, which looks great).

The other big decision was what modeling software to use. Godot fortunately looks better after playing around with it a bit I feel somewhat confident that it's the right choice. When developing The Founder I initially used Unity, but had such a frustrating time with it that I ended up developing it as a web game. I was a little hesitant at first, based on my previous experience with this sort of game engine.

In the meantime they suggest Godot, which is well-supported, open source, and mature, something like to the game world what Blender is to the 3d modeling world. Unfortunately it's still in development, which would likely lead to a lot of headaches down the road. I initially was looking at Bevy, which is a Rust ECS (Entity-Component-System) framework that looks very promising. Probably the biggest starting decision is what game development framework to use. I'm really just putting together a custom authoring system for this particular game. Most of them time will be creating assets (modeling, processing textures, animating, etc) and writing the story and dialogue. Right now I'm thinking the core development pieces are relatively simple and robust once in place. Expressiveness: Ideally whatever I set up now is enough to cover whatever ideas I might come up with down the line, and to allow me to express them quickly and intuitively.Time: I have a job and other obligations, so anything that can smooth out workflows, minimize clicking and pausing and looking for the right folder and so on is ideal.There are two main fundamental and related constraints: I have a big dump of notes and memos to turn into something more coherent, but because the world, game mechanics/experience, and story are all going to be constrained by development considerations, I want to start getting that whole infrastructure and process in place before going any further.

Rivals of Aether Rollback open beta just released, and let's just say that it's physically impossible to test every possibility in complex game with countless interactions between game elements.For the past few months I've been sketching out the world and rough game mechanics/experience for a new game I'm working on called Fugue. That'd be nice, but you are not required to. Do I have to participate in the jam to use this discount?.

If you are one of the couple of people that bought GMLive during the last few days, you can either request a refund from itch and re-buy at discount, or pick one or a few other assets that add up to ~$7 and email me from your purchase address to get download keys for those. What if I just bought GMLive at regular price?.It is something I think about from time to time, but having a demo requires some form of DRM, which is hard to do and even harder to do in a way that will not eventually backfire on legitimate users.

Can you use GMLive with the free version of GameMaker?Īpparently, yes! Although the license comparison puts "extension access" in Indie tier, GMS2.3+ version of GMLive is technically a big pile of scripts (and some included files), which makes it exempt from this limitation.Ludum Dare 49 starts on Oct 01! To commemorate, I'm hosting a small sale for the extension that's widely considered essential for game jams.
