Is there any threads for GAME CREATION / Indie developers here?

[SteelMullet]

Just wondering. I know a few devs that are just starting out-- and a community of indie game creators where we can shoot the sh*t could help a lot.

Pool resources, knowledge etc.

For example: Pre-game dev stuff, like assets, game engines, funding etc. And post release, topics like places to advertise your new game(s), strategies, platforms.

For instance there is a new ad platform specially for art, games, and comics called https://www.comicad.net/. That's been a huge boon to comic and game creators for growing your audiences and getting games out there.

Also-- what about game engines? Any good engines for pixel games like Stardew or Shovel Knight? :0

Thx.

Does anyone know what the majority of new pixels games run on?

[Start_Running]

Nope.
VBut the better question you need to ask is which engine is the one that suits your feature needs and capabilities.

RPG Maker for example is very popular for Classing NES/SNes stle RPGs. Clickteam fusin is great for puzzle and action games, AppGame Kit can be used for anything, and then there's unity, etc.

I wonder if Unreal Engine 5 has a "2D Pixel" mode? Can you imagine? Wait...what does Octopath traveler run on?

Any game can handle 2D. Whether or not it's sprite based or model based is irrelevant. If it can handly 3d model aniomattions. it can likely handle sprite animations.

I would recommend Unity instead of Unreal Engine if you're working with 2d games as Unreals 2d possibilities are somewhat lacking in my eyes but they want to give the developers more tools.... one day! :P
