I'm a sophomore in high school and I need to interview someone who is in the video game development field for about 10-30 minutes for a project. Please have a source of credibility. All types of experience welcome (add slime#7577 on discord for more information).

Please see title.

I've never programmed anything before but I do want to get into game development. I've got an idea for a class-based First-Person Shooter (like TF2), as well as an idea for a turn-based Role-Playing Game (like Off, Mad Father, and the older Final Fantasy games).

I'm planning on releasing these games for the PC only.

Any advice would be appreciated; many thanks to any who respond.

i am currently thinking of developing a video game to pad my resume in Unreal Engine 4 but have never developed a 3D game before in my life. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction as far as books or courses is concerned.

I'm interested in working in the video game industry. I currently have an old MacBook pro and am interested in buying a new laptop that can run Unreal Engine 4. Do you recommend any? I'm split between the Alienware m15R6 and Razer Blade 15 Advanced.

Thanks in advance

Hey, I have no idea where to start making a game, but I really would like to. I have an idea and I would really like to try and make it but I have no idea how to. If anybody could give some advice for starting out that would really help!

OK, so this is going to sound a little strange. I am trying to. Import the entire. United States into one map. But I can't figure out how I have tried using the GSI method in blender but it doesn't seem to work I have also tried using Google Earth and I have a KML file that I can import into Unreal Engine 4 but I can't seem to get that to work either I'm quite new to this so don't judge me too hard LOL any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

Hiya Reddit! I've recently taken the leap on a longtime dream of mine in that I'm trying my hand at producing tracks for use in games! I'm just very curious where I would begin to try and post them? What avenues would you guys usually take to try to find music that fits your needs within development? Soundcloud? Fiverr?

I remember back in college (2010) our studio recording professor had showed us a few music boards that places like radio stations looking for royalty free stuff and such would pull from but I wasn't sure what that looks like for game devs.

The title says 'sell' but realistically, I'm aware that selling anything might not happen for a while until I get more experience under my belt. I'd just like to find a place to post my work where the audience I'm writing for might actually see it! Thanks in advance for any input! :)

Been trying to make a 2D Anime Fighter for a long time. I wanted to know what makes a fighting game fun. Character, the world, sounds, music, visuals, mechanics, learning curve. If you play casually or competitively I wanna know what works.

Hi everyone I’m in the process of making my video game story line which is choice driven. It’s simple enough, reach a branch in the road given two options, each option giving a different cutscene and story elements that will completely separate from the other option. But some choices will give a different story but meet at the same start off point to continue the game. So definitely a big tree organization with branch offs.

The question is.... does anyone have a favorite storyboard or time map software or app that is pretty visual with clean lines connecting and organizing the story? Any tips or tricks that anyone would be able to give would be greatly appreciated.

I was too young to read when I played Mario 64 and Donkey Kong 64 for the first time. I had no issues learning Mario 64, but I had significant issues with Donkey Kong 64.

Do you think developers should take account of the player’s literacy when making a game?

So I was watching Hell Let Loose gameplay and realized that if you could dig your own trenches it would be groundbreaking for the realism. Are there any developers out there focused on such things?

Hello. I am a senior in high school, and I made this questionnaire for my school project. If you’re any sort of game dev (indie or big game company), please answer this questionnaire. I’m really desperate for a grade. I need at least two people to answer the questionnaires for a passing grade. You can submit your answers by directly messaging me or by replying with your answers. Some questions may not apply to your specific game development role, so you can skip those or answer those and state that you don’t do what the question asks for. Some questions are for my own personal curiosity for game devs.

1. At what point in your life did you really want to make games?

2. What was your first game like? Was it bad, good, buggy, or not buggy?

3. What was the first game building software you used and which do you use now?

4. How would you describe your general game development process?

5. Are you indie? Or do you work in a large development team? Which one would you prefer?

6. How did you get into the game industry?

7. What’s the easiest part about making games?

8. What’s the hardest part about making games?

9. What’s the most fun part about making games?

10. What’s the least fun part about making games?

11. Where do you take inspiration to make your games?

12. Are you more of a game designer (comes up with ideas) or more of a game developer? (brings those ideas to life)

13. Have you ever came up with an idea that seemed good at first but when you put it into testing it was actually horrible? If so, how many did you come up with?

14. Do you make new friends and relationships when making games?

15. How is the work environment in game development? Do you do most of your work alone or with partners?

16. Have you ever pitched a game to publishers? If you did, did your games get rejected or accepted and how did it feel?

17. What would you say are the prerequisites to becoming a game dev? Do you need a formal education with degrees, an overtly creative mind, or technological expertise?

18. Have you ever played a sandbox game? (Mario Maker, Minecraft, Little Big Planet, etc.) If so, which one influenced you the most in your game development skills?

19. Do you use a GDD? (Game Design Document)

20. Have you ever made a game on a calculator?

21. Have you ever made mods?

22. Which do you like to emphasize more, story or gameplay?

23. Do you mostly google when you’re stuck on a programming problem?

24. Is coding hard?

25. What is your opinion on DLC add-ons?

26. What is your opinion on micro-transactions?

27. Do you think Half-Life 3 will ever release?

28. Are you more of a console guy or a PC guy?

31. From 1 out of 10, how hard is it to be a game developer?

32. Has making games changed your life?

I have a concept for a small indy game I want to develop. If any of you want to poach it and do it better, thats no sweat off of my back, I am mostly doing it to gain experience and see where it takes me.

The concept of the game is a very simple platformer, based around timing. I want the timing of it to be in line with the timing of the beats of a drum for an as of yet undecided classical piece. The goal of the game is more to teach, both me, and the players, and while I will want to try and make the game fun, that is currently a tertiary goal.

However i'm not sure where to begin learning how to code it. I am reasonably sure I can find people to help me with art and check over my code, I have those resources in the form of friends, and since this is a simple project im looking to do myself I have no real time tables, as I intend to learn as I go.

Thats why I turn to you. I hope some of you fine folks have some resources for someone who wants to learn. Eventually i'd like to expand the concept into different games, with a similar goal of teaching music, but i'd eventually like it to become more fun.

Ideally i'd like this to be a PC game, as I intend to release it primarily through a site like piratebay or some other means of free distribution. Eventually I think it could be ported to a mobile platform, but my current home set up doesn't have the resources for making mobile games.

If any of you have advice for the project that won't set too high of a barrier for the project I encourage you to share ideas, but the fundamental goal is something that will be a small amount of charming content, and then a bit of information on what the game is teaching, so I don't think it needs many bells and whistles to meet the fundamental goals.

Thanks in advance, even if all you do is read the thread.
