I want to make a game that I show to friends/for fun
I'm thinking like:
>stupid plot like a clickhole clickventure plot/ kramer's hentai adventure
>(hopefully) 3D movement like Doom using arrow keys
I've been learning to program as a hobby for 3 years
I'm fairly competent with Python and front-end web dev stuff (JavaScript)
Should I use a game engine? Which one?
Should I make it web-based?
Any advice would be appreciated
Jow Forums is the best board
Other urls found in this thread:

Any webbased games would be shit.
Use GoDot engine if needed
You need to know c# or c++ preferably to make a proper game
Use Unity or Godot. I believe Godot's scripting language is similar to Python. Unity uses C# and has better docs and tutorials. Don't know about Godot, but Unity also let's you make builds for the web.
Thanks for the advice
It doesn't have to be a good game, just virtual novel/point and click tier
Do you need to know how to program in the language the engine was written in to use that engine? Or do you download software that you design objects and stuff in?
You should check out Ren'Py if you're just interested in making a visual novel. It's an engine specifically for visual novels that's pretty easy to use and is written in Python. Both Godot and Unity are actually written in C++, but they use GDScript and C# respectively as their scripting languages. So, if you wanted to use Unity you'd need to learn C#. Same goes for Godot, but, in addition to GDScript, it also supports C# and C/C++ so knowing any of those would work.
Stop tricking retards into using godot, at least be reasonable and suggest JS if you want to fuck with idiots.
i want to FUCK this genderly nebulous human being.
it's apple from turbo kid
youtu.be
never heard of that movie, is it good?
looks like it could be fun.
it's a good watch
It looks like Elijah Wood.
not him, but ok
user you actually watch films recommended by 4channel??
The point of a general is to gather discussion that would happen in multiple thread into one "general" thread.
Discussion of game design is
1) not a subject suitable for Jow Forums, game programming might be
2) very rare on Jow Forums, thus it can not be a general
3) does already exist on another board
To make it short, delete your thread.
>23 MB/s
jesus christ, my connection is locked at 1.1 MB/s and it costs me 80 canadian loonies every month (no data cap).
you created this thread so I might as well make my post. I am working on something before I leave for work, it uses the Cafu engine.
My Little Pony worked out well, so why not?
damn that is pretty impressive grats user, good luck!
10Mbit down isn't bad. I could deal with it. As you can see my 10Mbit up is far in excess of my download. I only average 2.3Mbps in download and that's downloading little but Blu-rays.
>cafu engine
never heard of it, what is it?
Capeshit.
yeah i don't consider it a problem that much really.
the largest thing i download is maybe a 30 gb games like once every two months and it can be done overnight. it's ok for streaming.
i still feel i'm getting ripped off at that price though.
it's not capeshit at all
it's like the polar opposite of capeshit
it's a parody of 80s kids films with horror elements
Mike and Jay from RLM recommended it in a summer wrap up HITB like 3 years ago
Sorry what? 80% of the threads on this board are people shitposting about windows 10, linustechtips and asking for advice on buying a laptop for school... how is my thread not suitable??
1) it's a general because anyone can discuss any game they're making here
2) I specifically talked about programming in my post. I already program. I want to PROGRAM a game.
3) Who are you to tell me to delete my post?? If it was against board rules the mods would delete it.
Was it hard?
Looks a bit like the blood gulch map from halo CE
