>>1318>>1316>WELL IT'LL BE DOGSHIT IF YOU DON'T DO THIS THIS AND THIS RIGHT NOW ACCORDING TO MY PLANS, BECAUSE I'M SO WISE AND KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THISThat's a gross misinterpretation of what I said, what I mean is just that it's likely to be bad because most first games are, that is why I said "and that's fine", when I made a game for the first time(and up to the fourth time actually) it was absolute crap, and I don't feel bad about it, cuz it's normal, you're bad at something when you do it the first time, try playing the guitar now.(assuming you don't already do it)
It's healthy for you to not have great expectations for your first time becauase it prevents you from falling into a cycle of perpetual planning and perfectionism which is extremely common in this, I want you to get somewhere with this, and in the end if you exceed those low expectations it will feel great and you'll be able to build something bigger from those foundations.
>and yes, i have downloaded gamemaker and am checking things outThat's awesome to hear, hey, you've already done more than 99% of the people who say they wanna make a game, keep it up.
>also, why do i owe some retard a game? why can i not, if i want to, just show off some drawings? please, enlighten me.I thought you owed this to yourself, you told me earlier:
>I think I sort of HAVE to make it. I can't let the game die with me. I'm definitely not a talented artist, so the most I could promise is Touhou equivalent graphics.
>why can i not, if i want to, just show off some drawings? please, enlighten me.You're in the gamedev board and you implied that you absolutely need to make this into a game, I could make the argument that you are just larping for attention and don't actually wanna put the work, that would be toxic, saying that your expectations should be those of the average newbie and moving accordingly will help you is not.
I don't mean to insult you, I am not on some mighty high horse but you stated to be an absolute newbie, and these common things to avoid perfectionism, the excessive planning, the focus on just drawing your OCs before even knowing what you need to produce, because for all we know you'll absolutely hate Gamemaker and will end up making this in RPGM VX Ace or Godot.
Like I said, newbies making a demo gets a lot of respect from me(and every other dev), no matter how bad the demo is, because its the first step into something bigger.
I'm not forcing you though, feel free to disregard this whole thing, for all you know, I am larping myself and I have no clue of what I'm talking about.
