Are there any Game Devs out there? Most of the posts I see are web and app developers!

I do both, game dev with UE4

@Lyniven game dev is my creative outlet! Regular development just gets monotonous

Yeah, we are not many.

I make stuff in the Godot Engine

What about embedded?

@Agred looks like it yea, what your engine of choice?

@nurox I'm simple. Unity.

@Agred Unity is great, used to be a favourite of mine for 3D work

Whoop whoop!

AHEM

I like to mess around making stuff in Qt. I would like to make an old school pseudo text based game with 2D and 3D elements.

@Demolishun a text based adventure game?

@nurox More nethack/rogue style. But possibly with text descriptions of what is happening.

@Demolishun actually I'm working on an a 2D adventure game, haven't had this much fun in quite some time

@nurox I was thinking about making a Dragon Warrior clone. The engine would be fun to write. I know someone who could do artwork too.

@Demolishun ahh you've brought up the most difficult part, finding good artists to work with! The engine part is usually the fun part!

@dmoa Ahem indeed

Just starting now.

@Nanos I got a book about procedurally generated content. I think with tech now this could be done for graphics in games. Like subscribe to a database of content that can assemble new artwork. I am not sure how they do it, but I have seen face generators that look life like.

@Demolishun Sounds Like generative model for me

I work on boring city builders to earn my daily bread.

@OneOfSimpleMind like SimCity? Those can be fun. Can crime break out? LOL, make a city builder game where people can log in and play GTA style in the city you are managing! Holy shit, that is a cool idea for a game. Can you imagine playing your game and you can watch other players causing GTA events all over town?

@Demolishun Lol no. More like doll-house city builders were you just build and stare at what you did. You can also stare at other player's creations but that's it. Super sad. I'm a simple employee and those games bring in a steady stream of income so I think they'll stay nice and boring for a while.

@Nanos yea, I start off that way as well, have crude graphics, once most of the game is done I end up hiring someone to create everything I need

I used to make in unity, now switched to ue4
