Game Devs!

does a stupid poker game count ?

No games but i have Unity and Game Maker

Do visual novels count? I am "working" on one.
Working as in I haven't touched it in months, of course.

hah. Thanks for the DLCs! I'm the only one who entered the ga right now! Was thinking to try GameGuru, trying to figure out this"engine"

I remember remade Pong in high school...

I've mucked about quite a bit years ago. Just got interested in it again after talking with a friend about it. I've been learning how to use GameMaker Studio and I've been working on a script.

I've made some super simple games as school projects (that I'm not proud of) and worked in an indie game company for a couple of months. I work on something in Unity now, but that's just to learn how to use it.

dont doed before but once maybe try

I've completed a few of those "Learn to code by making this simple game" tutorials and made a short renpy eroge for an ex once. Mostly I get started and distracted.

After rediscovering an old game I'd started over a decade ago I would like to finish it and turn it into a video game. It was a grid-based, free form TRPG. Unfortunately the transition from PnP to video game means it would lose a lot of the free form nature. I could still allow people to more or less craft their own class by purchasing stat progression, usable armour & weapon types, etc (something along the lines of D&D 2nd edition Skills & Powers), but the ability to make your own skills from various components (e.g. an Element component + an Area component could make a basic AoE fireball, or Element + Status could inflict a frozen status ailment) would be drastically limited. The best I could hope for would be to make a fairly comprehensive list and/or use a game engine that would allow players to modify the game and add their own skills.

I used to work with Unreal Engine 2, 3 and 4. I'm independent guy and I didn't release anything I am proud so far, but I made a lot of tutorials for UDK and I'm willing to help anyone with UE2,3,4. For some time I used to level design only, but at some point in my life I fallen in love with programming. I started from C# and UnrealScript (UDK). I was working on Postal 2: UDK as lead programmer but we failed (starting team was 5-6 person, at the end only me and one guy survived). I wish to work for Alawar or Artifex Mundi, as they're making HO games I really love and also they are coding the games in C# which I'm using extensively. I'm currently writing an scenario for adventure game I'd like to produce either on UE4 or MonoGame (code it by myself). I also spent hours with Cry Engine III and a bit less time with Unity (I'm a personal unity-hater). I did enjoy FPScreator or GameMaker also.

My the worst side when I'm starting the awesome project? I need the person that'd be shouting over my ear "DO THIS NOW, YOU HAVE A WORK TO DO, DON'T WATCH CUTE CATS ONLINE!", because over time I lose interest, and there are so many distractions.

Cheers!

I wrote my first adventure game on the Comodore 64 in BASIC when I was about 12 and then one day my tape got chewed up. I was devastated lol! A few years later I wrote a couple of puzzle games in C++ and then at Uni I wrote a very simple RPG maker type thing (only the beginnings) for my final year project.

But since Uni, my development has been commercial only, no more games :-( I'd like to get back into it again one day, but these days I spend more time playing games than programming and I don't really see that changing any time soon heh!

Right now I'm learning about game development, but I'm "screenwriter" so I need learn a lot about programing and this make me feel a little afraid but with time and discipline I will do.

I co-wrote my first game (or at least heavily modified a game from a magazine) on a ZX81 circa 1981/2 and wrote ZX Spectrum & BBC Micro games (including a poker game written in assembley code but abandonned pre-alpha) but all for my own enjoyment. I can remember letting my sister have my BBC micro when I got an Atari ST and after I asked her what she thought of it she did pick out one of my games out of all the commercial/magazine/my games as the best one :) Since I've worked I never seem to find the time to program any more despite working in computing for all (27 years) of my working life. I mainly manage now but still program a bit, mainly in Javascript & ASP classic with a little C# but nothing game related. I've been thinking about giving having a go again and always enter the game develpoment giveaways as actually getting the software will probably kick start me into giving it a go again, especially as my eldest is six years old and just starting to learn about computers in school so some game programming could actually be useful to teach him ...

You missed the voting option "I used to work for EA and working there cured me of game development so I went to business apps where I could make twice as much for half the hours." I still dabble on my own projects, though.

The thing

I have 2 games in progress without any tools, just C++ with SFML library. started them in Node.js but had to transfer to something else, chose c++

Ported and released Birth of the Empires to android.
Btw, I didn't knew that dev tools on steam give trading cards :D.

i created a couple in a rpg maker i dont think that counts haha anyway thanks for the GA

Where is "currently work in progress on RPG Maker, may or may never be released on SG as was originally planned"?
I'm sorry, I know that one or more of you are still waiting for it. ;_;

I somehow managed to get a job as a programmer using Unity. I've worked on a few mobile games, we currently have one game released on Steam, and another PC game currently in development.

I try to poke around with Unity in my spare time as well, but it feels too much like work now that that's literally what I do at work.

I made some RPGMaker games as assignments for school. Also I'm currently working on a team to make a game to help children with ASD.

I did some games like Grand Theft Auto, Half Life, Sonic, Doom, The Witcher, Fallout, Super Mario Bros... but I doubt anyone ever heard of them
