What things to avoid as much as posible when creating a game?

mlafta

Hi,

I am new to this and I am building my first game. I was wondering if someone can tell me from their experience about things to avoid to keep the game as small as possible and also maintain good performance. I know that spawning is the worse, that else?

Hey there, That is a great Question

here are just a few things

1) Make sure your art is the correct format. All your images should be png 8bit or 24bit at 72DPI. You need to make sure all your art is dividable by 2 and still be an even number. so say you have an image that is 50x40 well when divided by 2 that is 25x20 and 25 is an odd number so that is NO good. If its an off number you will get blurry images in your game.

2) Try not to use to many constrain behaviours or timers. There ok to use but if you use to many it will slow the performance down.

3) Dont start a big project. Make a nice small easy game to start. Get your feet wet first.

And watch ALL the videos in the gamesaladcookbook youtube channel first

cheers

Thank you for the answers! I will consider all this. I watched all the videos , they are short and precise and this is what I am looking for.

Thanks again!

tshirtbooth,

What is the accepted number of constraints in a game?

Heroin cuts down on productivity a little. Not as much as spawning though.
