🎮 HEY I WANNA MAKE A GAME! 🎮

Yeah I getcha. I was once like you. Pure and naive. Great news. I AM STILL PURE AND NAIVE, GAME DEV IS FUN! But where to start?

To start, here are a couple of entry level softwares you can use! source: I just made a game called In Stars and Time and people are asking me how to start making vidy gaems. Now, without further ado:

SOFTWARES AND ENGINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE!!!

Ren'py (and also a link to it if you click here do it): THE visual novel software. Comic artists, look no further ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It has great documentation! It has a bunch of plugins and UI stuff and assets for you to buy! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) You can also port your game to a BUNCH of consoles! ✨Cons: None really <3 Some games to look at: Doki Doki Literature Club, Bad End Theater, Butterfly Soup

Twine: Great for text-based games! GREAT FOR WRITERS WHO DONT WANNA DRAW!!!!!!!!! (but you can draw if you want) ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's versatile! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) ✨Cons: You can add pictures, but it's a pain. Some games to look at: The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo, Queers In love At The End of The World, Escape Velocity

Bitsy: Little topdown games! ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's (somewhat) intuitive! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! You can make everything in it, from text to sprites to code! Those games sure are small! ✨Cons: Those games sure are small. This is to make THE simplest game. Barely any animation for your sprites, can barely fit a line of text in there. But honestly, the restrictions are refreshing! Some games to look at: honestly I haven't played that many bitsy games because i am a fake gamer. The picture above is from Under A Star Called Sun though and that looks so pretty

RPGMaker: To make RPGs! LIKE ME!!!!! NOTE: I recommend getting the latest version if you can, but all have their pros and cons. You can get a better idea by looking at this post. ✨Pros: Literally everything you need to make an RPG. Has a tutorial inside the software itself that will teach you the basics. Pretty simple to understand, even if you have no coding experience! Also I made a post helping you out with RPGMaker right here! ✨Cons: Some stuff can be hard to figure out. Also, the latest version is expensive. Get it on sale! Some games to look at: Yume Nikki, Hylics, In Stars and Time (hehe. I made it)

engine.lol: collage worlds! it is relatively new so I don't know much about it, but it seems fascinating. picture is from Garden! NOTE: There's a bunch of smaller engines to find out there. Just yesterday I found out there's an Idle Game Maker made by the Cookie Clicker creator. Isn't life wonderful?

✨more advice under the cut. this is Long ok✨

ENGINES I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND THEY SEEM HARD BUT ALSO GIVE IT A TRY I GUESS!!!! :

Unity and Unreal: I don't know anything about those! That looks hard to learn! But indie devs use them! It seems expensive! Follow your dreams though! Don't ask me how!

GameMaker: Wuh I just don't know anything about it either! I just know it's now free if your game is non-commercial (aka, you're not selling it), and Undertale was made on it! It seems good! You probably need some coding experience though!!!

Godot: Man I know even less about this one. Heard good things though!

BUNCHA RANDOM ADVICE!!!!

-Make something small first! Try making simple: a character is in a room, and exits the room. The character can look around, decide to take an item with them, can leave, and maybe the door is locked and you have to find the key. Figuring out how to code something like that, whether it is as a fully text-based game or as an RPGMaker map, should be a good start to figure out how your software of choice works!

-After that, if you have an idea, try first to make the simplest version of that idea. For my timeloop RPG, my simplest version was two rooms: first room you can walk in, second room with the King, where a cutscene automatically plays and the battle starts, you immediately die, and loop back to the first room, with the text from this point on reflecting this change. I think I also added a loop counter. This helped me figure out the most important thing: Can This Game Be Made? After that, the rest is just fun stuff. So if you want to make a dating sim, try and figure out how to add choices, and how to have affection points go up and down depending on your choices! If you want to make a platformer, figure out how to make your character move and jump and how to create a simple level! If you just want to make a kinetic visual novel with no choices, figure out how to add text, and how to add portraits! You'll be surprised at how powerful you'll feel after having figured even those simple things out.

-If you have a programming problem or just get confused, never underestimate the power of asking Google! You most likely won't be the only person asking this question, and you will learn some useful tips! If you are powerful enough, you can even… Ask people??? On forums??? Not me though.

-Yeah I know you probably want to make Your Big Idea RIGHT NOW but please. Make a smaller prototype first. You need to get that experience. Trust me.

-If you are not a womanthing of many skills like me, you might realize you need help. Maybe you need an artist, or a programmer. So! Game jams on itch.io are a great way to get to work and meet other game devs that have different strengths! Or ask around! Maybe your artist friend secretly always wanted to draw for a game. Ask! Collaborate! Have fun!!!

I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye

Alright, I think I figured out what the boys wished for in my AU (thank you to hrtst4r and Issacvalley for helping me come up with wish ideas)

-Emilio

Emilio was first but he was running solo for a long time and so nobody knew he was a magical girl until later, His wish was for his sister to be safe.

-Rudy

Rudy was second but he thinks he’s the first until Emilio shows up, his wish was to save a dead cat.

-Tobias

Tobias was the third, Rudy was the one to introduce Tobias to Kyubey. Tobias was very hesitant to make a wish with Kyubey at first due to the whole process sounding very satanic in nature, but after a particularly bad beating from his dad he was desperate enough to make a wish. He wished that his dad loved him.

-Carmelo

Carmelo was the last one to become a magical girl, he accidentally ended up in a labyrinth when Rudy and Tobias showed up to kick ass. After that he follows them into labyrinths despite Tobias not wanting him to come with them. He doesn’t make a wish until Rudy and Tobias encounter a particularly strong witch and Rudy nearly dies. His wish was the power to protect Rudy.

Anyways, here’s some art of their soul gems and grief seeds

Holy Shit! Carmelo ponysona

Uhhhh I forgot to post this but here’s a little something I made for Carmelo’s birthday

What’s so funny to me is that even though the ‘canon’ (ehhhhhhh yk what I mean) ships are tobimilio and rudymelo, like half the fandom loves tobimelo instead. Like even though Carmelo is on the verge of pepper spraying Tobias next time they talk the fandom is just like “AWHHHH THEIR IN LOVE!!”

my friend took in a stray and she’s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like we’re roleplaying as the US military

og under the cut lol

Maybe he only attempted to his Mattias, but failed.

I GOT IDEAS FOR MY AU!!!

This is half baked and I’m lowkey jst writing as I think

So like everyone has normal eyes, the gems eyes are the way they are only when their transformed BUT tobias, Tobias always had these freaky blue eyes ever since he murdered his brother (here he did that all on his own no demon’s influence) those eyes were the voice’s (who will be referred to as angle from here on out) doing. You see everyone who has them crazy ass eyes becomes the next gem but if you have them all the time it means angel has put a protection spell typa shit on em (also what happened to odd and Silas, I’ll develop their story later though) the reason angel put a protection spell and made Tobias a magical girl was too protect him from lady kiraba and mr edburt who are demons (idk man) who prey on people who are very vulnerable and have loads of negative emotions like Tobias! Also angels real name is not angel, that’s a name Tobias gave it as a child since at first bc thought it was god. Also also angel hasn’t told Tobias about the protection spell, he just said he was the chosen one.
