Slaveannexer Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Hello I am a guy with programming experience and a very good idea for a management and turnbased sexual adult game. The game will primarily be text based, however it will contain a lot of pictures/gifs so its at least alive in some way. (This might change if I find an animator or designer in the future) I am however not very experienced in What kind of programmes or engines I should download that would make creating games in general. My question is: Does anyone have any recommendations of programs I could use? I have most experience with Java, But also a bit HTML, CSS and JS. I wont detail my idea yet, as its still only a thought. If it becomes a reality then I will make a new post for the game itself Thanks in advance.
Toxic_Elmo Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 If you gonna build a 2D game Unity is the best game Engine for that. But the engine is free/paid with means the free version you are not allow to make more the $100K per year and when you start the game it will show "Is made by Unity". If you gonna make the game free this is not really a problem. The engine uses C# that is quite similar to javascript only more structured. It has a great community and you can find easy tutorials on the internet. Keep in mind, making a game will take some time. Most of that time is non game related stuff like making Save system, Menu manager, Audio manager and other stuff. So whatever you are going to make. It's gonna take you a few months dependent on complexity of the game.

I’m aware it will take some time. Thats also why I at the moment dont wanna speak up about the idea itself yet. Only if it’s gonna be guaranteed and I’m actually hooked on making the game. I’m not planning for a great scale game. At least not for the first game I’m planning to make. But Maybe in the future, not at all guaranteed though. Thank you again for your suggestion.
Toxic_Elmo Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Making a Text based game you can use pretty much any programming languages by simply building a console application. But I'm expecting that you are more creative than that ? I use Unity on daily basis and I make a living out of it. So even if you fail making the game it's good Engine to have on your porfolio. Here are some good plugins for your Unity game to start with: Text mesh pro (Better text then the default text in Unity) DoTween (Has a options to Tween your text)

uXa Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 It sounds like you're making a Visual Novel. Most are created in Ren'Py, or RPG Maker, There's no need for a entire car factory (i.e., Unity), if you're trying to make a bike. Godot is just a free version of Unity without the fancy shaders and asset store.
Khaahan Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Hi there. Personally I'm not a fan of most adult games out there and considering there are plenty of tools available today I believe some "courage" should be considered. Personally I would rather go with the Unreal Engine for a bunch of very good reasons. The most important one is the face that, as far as I could see there are several ready-made templates where all you have to do is creating the characters, personalize the UI/GUI design with your graphics and focus on the creation of the story and the quests. All that with better graphics, especially if you want to do something particularly realistic. I read you would like to make a turns-based game and last month they offered a ready-made template based on that mechanics for free. Again, I'm not a fan of that either but you might check that... is called "Turn-Based jRPG Template" > https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/turn-based-jrpg-template <, just in case you would like to give a look. It has quite a good documentation and a sample project and a playable demo either. I have it already so I dunno how much it costs now. I have a couple of ideas for an adult game, an action RPG in 3rd person, and I 'm actually looking for other people to create a team and a programmer is definitely the person I need most, together with an animations' maker, while I focus on creating the story and to design and create environment, interiors and props. If you're interested we can have a talk. PS: Whoever said ain't an easy journey is perfectly right but it's also worth facing the challenge.
