How to make a game.

How to make a game for indie developers.

 in order to make a game that people like , u need to start thinking differently.
here are some steps that may help you achieve your goal !

  1. Start thinking of an idea :

  • What should your game be like
  • How should the gameplay be like  
  • What type of a game should it be.......RPG , FPS.......ETC.
  • How will you be able to Finish the game.
  • Pick the appropriate programs for your game type.

     2. Organize your thoughts

  • Organize the Gameplay and the Game modes
  •  Organize the aspects of the game
  • think of how will the user be able to enjoy his time
  • there's nothing wrong with picking some ideas from other successful games
  • but remember DON'T COPY OTHER PEOPLE WORK

    3. Putting ideas

  • (if u could) , CO-OP or Multiplayer is much better than playing alone ( for some type of games of course )
  • Make a storyline or an objective or even a challenge for the user
  • Spend some time on the GUI or the interface , people always like the "Cool" / "Weird" animations in the interface
  • Don't expect to success , there always gonna be these moments when you fail in writing a script or modeling.....ETC , just dont give up.

   4. Building , Compiling and Designing.

  • Organize your work time , never work too much that's always bad you might even delete your whole project just out of that.
  • Build  the basics first , World > Lights > the Hero > Enemies > then the world's details  ( im sure you got the point ).
  • Don't make a useless scripts or models , that may slow down the performance or even cause glitches and bugs in the final build.
  • Its always a good idea to start publishing Beta's and testing builds.
  • Always try the game on other computers to make sure the game is working smoothly (unless if you are building a game for a council or a mobile devices )
  • Spend some times on the "Environment art" and the textures of the objects the game , also make sure to really take care of lighting and colors
  • Always optimize the performance of the game and find a better programing solutions
