Upcoming TF game jam!
3 years ago
General
If you have any interest in creating a transformation-themed game, there's a TF game jam happening for the duration of next month! Game jams are tons of fun, I'd really encourage you to give it a try, even if you've never made a game before.
https://itch.io/jam/tf22
If you've never made a game before, here are a variety of resources that you could consider learning, all of which are free and well-suited to people who have never programmed before!
For text-based stuff, I really like Twine, which is very similar to using FurAffinity’s text formatting tools to add italics or links to comments.
Another TF artist made what is, in my option, the single best tutorial for writing interactive stories in Twine: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36277631/
From just the first tutorial you can make a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style story, and with all of them combined, you can start making fairly complex games and stories!
Bitsy is similar to RPGMaker in a lot of ways, but stripped down to just the bare essentials for telling a story. It's incredibly restrictive, especially in terms of art though. It's used to make games like this: https://dreamingamaris.itch.io/get-sword-kill-dragon-save-princess, and doesn't require --or support-- coding!
GB Studio is a tool for making simple games that run on real GameBoy and GameBoy Color hardware! It's pretty well put together and easy to use with the help of a tutorial or two.
Renpy is specifically for visual novels, but it definitely does those well!
(You could also make a tabletop game, or use something out of the ordinary like PowerPoint
(Also, in regards to my previous journal, I've closed the form, thanks for all the responses! I was only planning on drawing the winning combination, but some of the suggestions were neat enough sounding that I think I'll try to draw more than just that one.)
