Still working out all the kinks, but here is a beta of our new webpage!
https://tandlstudios.webflow.io/
Whatās the point of using a website to make a website if the website you make with it looks like it was made solely with html?
Like I said, Iām still working out the kinks. Iām new to this specific website, and am using a blank slate rather than a template. It will look better in the future, I can promise you that.
Cool! I know youāre still working out the kinks and all, so I wonāt judge the aesthetics or anything until itās finishedā¦
My question is: what is the purpose - āmission statementā or whatever, of T+L Studios? Making games? Selling games? Teaching people how to make games? I have a long term plan of making my own website for my own one person Indie game developer team, but Iām certainly open to collaborative projects with other designers as wellā¦
I know, I know, I have yet to prove my potential here, so feel free to ignore me right now. But I have a current demo project that is about 75% done and I think itās fairly decent. Certainly not up to the quality of the best games that others here have produced, but Iām still learning and working with free version. I will get better as time goes on.
We make games
Nah man itās okay if you admit that the graphics are crap. Itās kinda hard to do it in this specific software.
Why are you just using HTML? Your profile says youāre good at it and JavaScriptā¦
You make games for fun, or for profit? Or both?
(Iām personally looking to do both)
ADDITIONAL: I guess what Iām asking isā¦ the page is open for requests to be part of the crew. Is that just to make games for educational purposes? Or does your crew intend to sell games and share the profits? Iām just making free games myself right now, but my long term goal is to sell some.
Not for tons of money, Iām not making Skyrim or Call of Duty or anything like thatā¦ Iām thinking ādollarā games. Or even just something like free games with ads, or ādonationwareā type stuff.
Iām not using HTML. Iām using a site called WebFlow, it just uses a very HTML based formatā¦
But if you know how to use HTML, then use it, from scratch is better
Just to make any kind of games.
For the record, Iām not officially requesting to be a part of anything yet, Iām just keeping options open and wanting to connect with other experienced coders / developers here. If say T+L Studios creates a website and hosts games, and I create a website with my own studio name hosting my own games, we could share links to each otherās games to increase page views for bothā¦ mutually beneficial situation.
Long term, of course. Iāll have to upgrade to Indie, and make a dozen or so games first, before I can call myself a āstudioā.
Or get studio, lol.
I donāt actually know how to codeā¦
Iām a poser, using Flowlab to make games because without it, the best I could do is print out board games and card games. I can draw a sprite in MS Paint, but I donāt have the foggiest clue how to make it move with keyboard commands, or how to tell it that itās supposed to take damage when colliding with another sprite, etc. Flowlab is the only reason Iām able to make sprites do things. And Iām loving it.
Outside of this website, the most complicated thing Iām qualified to do is operate heavy machinery. And I donāt think that particular skill would be of much use to a game development company. Unless they had a huge warehouse full of game cartridges and needed someone to operate a forklift to load them onto trucksā¦ itās my understanding that games arenāt transported that way anymore, people mostly just download them from the internet.
