Encountering some errors.

Hello, IndieDB Members. Recently, we had quite a bad bug from one of the updates that Unity released. Luckily, we were able to fix it in just under 3 days. But sadly, this set us back. Sorry about that.

While we’re still working our best to bring you Quintence, Ravenex Studios has also been working more off the grid-ish, with other suprises that might catch your eye. While we can’t reveal anything yet, keep an eye on the Gamejolt Ravenex-Studios and the IndieDB Ravenex_Studios.

Just a quick update on how things are going.

Figured I might as well post this, as it appears to be spreading across Gamejolt. I posted this on my Website a couple days back, for those of you that follow it. Anyways, it's just a list of basic things to keep track of while creating a game. Here it is:

Game Ideas.

When you’re starting a new project for a game, the very basic idea is the most important part. Even if its just something like a FNAF clone. Game Ideas can come from any source of inspiration, rather it be some sort of inspiration from another or multiple games, to being a complete original idea.

Game Engines.

Knowing your Game Engine is like knowing the battlefield. If you don’t know how to traverse the basic parts of your Game Engine, how do you think you would do trying to make that game in the first place? For starters, try finding some videos explaining how to get started in your Engine.

Creating the Game.

Here's the tricky part. Your attention to how your game works is crucial. In most situations, depending on your game idea can affect the outcome of how your game looks and works. If its something rather story based, (RPG Games, Adventure Games, Horror Games, ETC). You would probably want to tell a stunning story with graphics. And while there are games that don’t really focus on Graphics, they are still pretty good depending on the type of story. Others are more technology-based games (Puzzle Games, Others I can’t think of for some reason, ETC.) These kind of games would rely more on the Scripting and how you use those Scripts. And while making Scripts for your game can be very hard, when you complete them they can be just as rewarding to you as they would be in game to a player.

Presenting This Game.

Now, presenting whatever kind of game you’ve created. (Or have a good example of what you want to create). Now, you would take some screenshots, maybe a video of a level you created, put down the base or finish idea for your story in detail or no detail, and list everything the way you need to list it. Now you’re done, you’ve successfully started your Game Development Journey.

Alright. That's the end of the list, thank you all for reading. If you want to check out my Website, click here:
