Game Engine Questions and Considerations

I noticed that there are many game engines available on Github. The large game engines such as Unity and Unreal have made a name for themselves and their use is very clear. However, there are many smaller engines available in github. For C++, I've searched and about 26k results showed up. This leads...

Re: Hi - I'd like to share my hobby project

Hi. Your game sounds interesting. I don't have much time, but I can help you port your game to Windows and Linux if you decide to use SDL and C++. I can mostly just answer questions and test for you. Just send me a private message on this forum. I have also heard very good things about raylib and it...

Re: Surrealism in Video Games

I think this is the real challenge. It seems relatively easy to come up with surreal elements. But making surreal mechanics or gameplay is what really turns it into a surreal game. That camera one I think does it right. Surreal and it's the core of the gameplay, it's pretty much the sole mechanic. ...

Re: Surrealism in Video Games

I would say that PaRapper The Rapper is a surreal video game since music can be considered a logical pattern and unexpected beats breaks the logic of it. That sounds like a very interesting game with huge potential. It would be the opposite of the movie "A Quiet Place". A game mechanic for...

Re: Surrealism in Video Games

Yes, Portal would be considered surreal. That is a great example of a game mechanic being surreal! I like your idea of the world changing size depending on the arch and player. It reminds me of Super Mario 64 world where Mario can get become huge depending on the pipe he goes through. I'm curious to...

Re: Surrealism in Video Games

I would say that is surreal. I was thinking of surreal referring to defying laws of physics or generally something that goes against how we experience the reality we live in. I guess what is surreal can be much more broad in its definition. A better question would be what can make a video game very ...

Surrealism in Video Games

I just want to talk about surrealness in video games in general.

In brief, Surreal = against logic or rules.

What can make a video game surreal?

What are good examples of surrealness in video games?

I haven't really seen many newer video games after the 1990s be very surreal. I miss that.
