Tower of Kalemonvo will bomb
>>483948536blessed thread
>>483948536Holy cow. The more games that come out, the worse it gets. I really hope that these fuckers get what's coming, but AAA has a double set of standards, one for the Sneeds, and one for the Chucks. I suspect that the guilty includes a lot of "Sneeds."
>>483948753its not correct to ascribe the blame for this issue on a social divide between the public "chucks" and the establishment/aristocrats/elite etc "sneeds." many of those culpable are ordinary solicitors and contractors and not sneeds of the realm
>>483948640200-300 reviews in the first 2 months
>>483948640thanks pepe obvious
>>483948893If/when the accountability starts to become inevitable, AAA has lots of bus-fodder. One thing I've learned (and no one else, like you for example, seems to have learned), is Accountability begins and ends at the top. It doesn't matter if it was a "rogue Sneed." The top head is Responsible. That's (ostensibly) why they get paid the big bucks (or so I'm told... but never shown).
>>483949035so are you suggesting every time an employee of a video game company commits a crime to game development, the ceo should go to jail alongside them? every time a politician commits an offence the president or prime minister should go to prison? every time a student breaks the law, the principal of the school should be locked up? id suggest the reason you put so arrogantly 'no on else seems to have learned' is cuz its a fucking ridiculously retarded and impractical idea. should ceos (etc) be punished if they knowingly aid and abet shit games and/or cover it up? sure, i think most people are on board with that
>>483949270>so are you suggesting every time an employee of a video game company commits a crime to game development, the ceo should go to jail alongside them?Pretty much, yeah. Happens in Japan (not always, of course, but more common). The argument I always hear to justify the enormous pay differential between the CEO and their staff is that the CEO is ultimately responsible for everything. In practice, this is never the case.
>>483949407the reason for ceo pay is thats what it costs to hire a ceo
new pc parts = business expendaturereplacing mouse I broke in dota 2 ranked = business expendatureinstant coffee = business expandaturebeer = business expendaturenow... I just need to make some money I can not pay those taxes on... (I think thats how it works)
>>483949518I'm not complaining about the pay, but the ethical rot. I've always believed that leaders must be held to higher standards than anyone else, and if they want to cry about it, then they should distribute their pay to the Chucks who bear those standards, because their "Sneeders" won't.
i'm tired, boss
>>483949837finish the fucking game kid
>>483949607I have a family member who works at extremely high levels (My older brother and I are the redneck game devs, in my family), fighting corruption in the gaming industry. It's a really big problem. She's working on funding the game I'm working on with my brother, which she believes will be the biggest success in the world.
Why is using AI voice acting le bad?
>>483937807lul you got called out
>>483949595If you already have a job, even if you make no gamedev money, you still get a tax break by claiming losses from the business come tax season.
>>483950415because the good shit is paywalled and the only way too effectively use it is to generate a shit load of stuff and pick out the clips that sound like you want it to.also it useless voice ""actors"" are the most vocal whiners.
>>483950415>Why is AI bad?overhyped trend that's underperforming and mostly of interest to scammers and grifters
>>483950415AI VA is quite bland and has a lot of issues. I'd recommend learning to VA yourself (it's super easy if you "have the vision") and using an AI voice changer instead.
when you level design in blender you need to add colission shapes manually for everything in engine right?
>>483950415Thanks to AI, you will hear who you think is a "real person"... I remember when a scammer tried to get my wife to address an "urgent bank issue." What tipped her off was how incredibly good his "tech support" was.
>>483950612What if I have no problem with generating samples again and again till I get the delivery I want? I try my best to make it sound as good as I can.>>483950721Can't use voice changers because I am an ESL and have a nasty accent. Plus I fucking hate my voice.
>>483950721>I'd recommend learning to VA yourself (it's super easy if you "have the vision") and using an AI voice changer insteadThat's not a bad idea... What's a good AI voice changer?
>>483950987But I'm not using it to scam people. I'm not going to hide the fact that I use AI, because it's a question of money, not of principle for me. Is that wrong?
>>483950987AI fucked your wife?
>>483950987>to get my wifeI wish I had a wife...
>>483951052>https://github.com/w-okada/voice-changerThis is the one I use.>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KKKE7hoyGXMw-Lg0JWx16R8xz3OfxADjwEYJTqzDO1k/edit#heading=h.8vqd8m4fh76qThis is the one madodev uses.They both use the same kind of models. I assume the difference is just the interface.
Tomodev...
>>483951372Thanks dude, this really helps. I was thinking of having voices in our game, just some grunts and a few lines when beating levels, but even that's kinda expensive if there's quite a few characters
>>483950892add -col to the name of every object
>>483950892Only if your exporter/importer on the engine doesn't support adding collision shapes in Blender.
>>483948753>the worse it getsWhat in particular is getting worse, our odds of making it? Yeah definitely the bar keeps getting raised and kids are somehow meeting that bar. Somehow have time to do all that school work while mastering gamedev? Are you kidding me, not to mention all the people jumping on it like it's some sort new fad to be a gamedev.>>483929883This. These kids are just going straight to the money. Society shilled me a rip off investment. And my parents and I paid the price for it. I'm unemployed right now too, not like the degree helped me in getting a job that someone without one couldn't get.
How do you use inheritance with custom events?
var choice = [0,1,2].pick_random() ..if choice == last_lane: ....choice = (last_lane + 1) % 3 ..var newpos ..match choice: ....0: ...... newpos = Vector2(50, 300) ...... lane = LEFT_LANE ....1: ...... newpos = Vector2(480, 260) ...... lane = TOP_LANE ....2: ...... newpos = Vector2(910, 300) ...... lane = RIGHT_LANE ....last_lane = laneI like this code.
>>483952198>Society shilled me a rip off investment. And my parents and I paid the price for itIt used to be that the paper was actually worth something but these days they hand them to any retard as long as the university gets paid. The idea that "dude you need to go to college/university" is bullshit, particularly most people here work in or want to work in IT and as long as you got a decent resume and some connections you can get anywhere in that.
My art degree will prove very valuable when the grid goes down and I can use it as kindle
>>483951031>Can't use voice changers because I am an ESL and have a nasty accent. Plus I fucking hate my voice.there's AI for that. I forget which, but an ESL tutorial youtuber used it and got more views as a result.
>>483951120I mean, that sounds like you're scamming people.
Which vtuber do you want to play your game?
>>483952663I don't know any.
Starting to work on my own projects again. I just want to make a simple Tower Defense game and I'm used to working with Unreal. I haven't been in AGDG in a few years, is it still ok to post progress? Things that I've done a while ago:- Simplest gridMap manager. Tiles are just some platforms, with 4 types depending on ability to be walked on by AI, and ability to build on top. - Implemented A*- Added a guy that follows the path until the end.Recently: - Started working on waves. Just made the structs for now.Although I'm switching it to DataAssets. Progress is slow because I don't have enough time to work on it. Hopefully I'll get progress
>>483952409Wish I skipped college and just went into the wagecage while simultaneously learning gamedev. At least then I'd have had a solid chance of making due to the time period including the golden age of indie gamedev.>>483952530>use it as kindleKek. Do you really have an art degree?
>>483952663I dunno many, Nyanners I guess? Are there any vtubers who are big into weeb shmups (Touhou etc) and/or third person shooters?
>>483952530Are you the Paras anime girl poster? Question, was that your game that released back in May of this year? Not sure you ever posted your game but I found one that gives me the feeling it's you who made it.
>>483952928Why are you doxxing me? fuck you.
>>483952663The pirate because I heard she has a fat Japanese ass.
>>483952663Super popular ones that will enjoy my game which results in me getting tons of sales. For entertainment, this one dude and this one girl. Dude played a game I used to play and provided useful info but was entertaining to watch, pretty sure he is a 4channer as well. Also this one girl that seems fun to watch but isn't popular.
>>483925362I haven't watched the video but I've noticed the roguelite rot eroding my game ideas and design. Anything that's not otherwise a modern meta genre tends to make me think of turning it into a roguelite to make it more modern.
>>483941839Lucky
>>483953056based
>>483952981>doxxing;_; I wasn't there's just a lot with that game that gives me the feeling it's you, I had the demo and played it.
>>483952663Ones that will have gullible fans to buy my game. I don't need no viewer vtubers playing my game.
>>483952623You are a faggot-ass bitch. I'm going to rape your mouth tonight.
>>483952928I'm a paras anime girl poster, I do not claim exclusivity or any released games
>>483948536I'm going to ask again on how to improve the 4 niggas in a row Darkest Dungeon 1 style.After some research it appears that the whole formula is jank, is there really no way to make it better?>action economy is still a gigantic issue>boss powercreep through multiple actions only to invalidate the whole speed mechanic because a boss having multiple turns back to back can straight up TPK before the player gets a chance to mitigate it>the problem is bigger because enemy AI is designed to focus fire same as the player>speed is an underwhelming mechanic>stun is a broken mechanic>dodge is a broken mechanic>0 insensitive to not focus fire>bleed and blight are the same>few basic stats leading to trinkets to be either broken or useless depending on the developer's whim >same issue with quirks and diseasesThat's ignoring the town and party management problems. I guess only position dependent skills/classes are interesting, the rest is just jank.
it's over. im gonna fail marnix.
>>483953254Are you the real one? I assume there is only one of you who has posted in the past. Mind if I say the game's name that I believe is yours? Has so many references it feels like it was either you, some other 4channer, heavy twitch user, or a Chinese dev who's heavily influenced by 4chan meme's as I've seen this before
>>483953368it's not my game, that's for sure
>>483953353>it appears that the whole formula is jankyes
>>483952663Ui
>>483953423any bright ideas to fix some of its issue
>> ProgressDoctrine system is coming along. The code is a real clusterfuck which I'm probably going to have to rewrite, but we are getting there. I still need to write an algorithm that adds and removes nodes based on nearest neighbours, but most of the foundation is there.My mind has been wandering to possible side projects, but I keep pulling my focus back, working a few hours a day.Stay strong /agdg/, stay focused.
>>483953125so.....this moth design is actually trademarked/copyrighted or whatever right? or is it not eg like wojak?
Feels like elder abuse
>>483941839Why not just get a pet, then?
>agdg will never care as much about my game as they care about the parasposterFeels bad man
>>483953583She is from hentai manga
>>483953412Oh cause it features>steam capsule with a character striking the smug pepe pose>a pepe in a painting as background art in game>character banner for steam streams posed like basedjacks pointing to the stream>one of the publishers (i remember it being listed as developer but maybe i recall wrong) is named ParasGamesThere was just so many different things combined with "ParasGames" that I instantly thought it was possibly you
>>483953767they've got a xianxia game... kino
good night, hope you yesdevs makes good progress
>>483953727Even worse he will never buy for me
>>483953735What! I unironically have her as inspo material
>>483953571I hate how good the graphics are vs how lame card gameplay(can be) or makes me wary of a not-fun game.
>>483954162Literally nothing wrong with it layers of white
>>483952663Kazuna Ai comes back to play my game exclusively
>>483954370
>vtroonbers
>>483953571>>483954236Yeah I always feel like the most suited and fun gameplay could be like highfleet even without the construction partMassive ships and slow moving kinetic shells and rockets
>>483954367Strange tho I remember a vtuber that uses a moth girl model that looks awfully similar. Is the design not copyright? I'd probably use it, saves me the trouble drawing one myself.>>483954370I've watched her, she's definitely one I want playing my game.
It's so over agdg.https://www.gamesradar.com/platforms/nintendo/mario-and-zelda-legend-shigeru-miyamoto-says-nintendos-generational-handover-is-progressing-smoothly-with-developers-that-are-young-and-brilliant/

>>483954794>-developers-that-are-young-and-brilliantStop pushing this on me, I'm already heavily demoralized as it is. Seeing yet another thing where riches were within my grasp if I acted sooner only for them to flee before I could lay hold of them irritates me. So many times and I'm frequently just late by a small amount of time. I do not need this new added competition. I'm getting relegated to either having to copy FOTM or making something absurdly unique and hoping it takes off.>captcha: KASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>483954370>>483954987>OLDEST POST ON HER VID 9 MINUTES AGO>ANON POSTED 11 MINUTES AGONani are you Kazuna Ai please play my game!
>>483954370No Kazuna you should've waited a month so you could've premiered with my game at the front!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not ready ;_: bro's I'm 50% confident this is her!
>>483948536You know what I'm realising? Posting progress is only 50% for yourself, maybe even less.The focus of posting progress was never for yourself – it was for others. What they do with it? None of your business.If it invites to rage, their problem. Jealousy? their problem.But if you inspired them, made a cool post that helps make a good place. If you were at least funny, without even trying to be – that's what matters.No question of problems, it's just about riding the wave and not focusing on overly self destrucing attributes.It's like a cool gym for gym lads, but for people seeking fun and building for their own pleasure, but especially the pleasure of others.There's times where some crabs will be around, more or less, as they're everywhere. Maybe (You) will be the crab too at some point.But in the end, what matters is how you tried. Because even if you failed, what you left behind will be something to be proud of. Even more, you won't have to feel proud of it yourself, because it will catch you by itself, reminding you that even if pride is not with you, the important part is that there is no reason to feel shame.
>>483954370Anonette posted 21 minutes agoKizuna posted on her twitter 17 minutes ago. Anonette are you a secret aggy fren? Please play my game someday please ;_; If she ends up playing one of my game's I'll have no doubt this was her who posted or someone who works for her or something of that nature
>>483951031>What if I have no problem with generating samples again and again till I get the delivery I want? I try my best to make it sound as good as I can.because it takes ages. and theres no guarantee it will ever sound good. of course they also charge you depending on how much you generate too.
Any day now AI will die
Any day now cars will die
I think it's dumb to call it AI in the first place.
Any day now NFT's will die.

>>483956409They sell now. In a year? In two years? Think, stupid, think. You have to play ahead of the market or you're going to fall behind.
>>483956450tell me which genre will dominate the store in 2 years.better yet, buy future contracts for 2 years from now if you're so good at predicting.

My game will be like BerserkI'll die before I finish it
My hard work is really paying off
Blaster Master.
>>483955925That breaks the game, why have randomness at all if you can save scum before each roll? you just get "the best of X tries" or a normal distribution. If you allow saving before each combat or at the start of the mission then that only changes "how much time a player want to waste" and people will be even saltier. I've been playing Slice & Dice lately and I am a fan of Undo mechanic, the problem is that everybody I watched playing it (including myself) turned the game into a literal puzzle game, that's no different from fine-grained save scumming where the randomness is predetermined and set in stone. >>483956054I've never played it and didn't get the token system after reading about it, Darkest Dungeon 2 is not even the same game, such a shame. Did it even have a single good mechanic?>>483957962That might be the case, but the combat setup is charming, abstract 4 dudes in a row aka classic Final Fantasy style is just boring and has no substance, swing the other way and make the movement less abstract and you get a bad board game.

I'm on the brink of giving up
>>483960137my game improving is reward in itself.my skills improving is a rewardmy growth as a dev and as an artist is slow, but consistenti will never give up
>>483961262Well I'm on the up of giving BRINK ahhaha xd
>>483961484God this game was so fucking bad
>>483961484every one i knew growing up had this game but they never played it or talked about it
>>483948220>yeah umm id kill if the law didnt catch me>im also totally smartypants atheist who doesnt know how to comit crimes without doing them in broad daylightyeah i wont see you there
>>483960401play StarVaders if you're looking for ideas on an undo mechanic that isn't as free as Slice & Dice's
>>483961672Because it fucking sucked. The only reason people remember it is because the art direction was pretty good. In terms of gameplay it was a buggy, unbalanced mess. The escort missions in particular were pure suffering. Despite all of the cool armor (I liked the shoulder pads that were made out of tires) and theoretical customization there was nothing Brink did better than CoD or Battlefield or any of its other competitors.
>>483958172>>483958214(A)wokendev spotted
imagine wanting to make a game lol
>>483960137I know you might be just meme-ing JBlow for the lols, but this sentiment echoes deeply within me at the moment.I was always afraid of "thinking ahead" at what I would need for my project. Basically write down a long list of tasks/to-do's with what I need to do to finish the whole game, the features I need to implement, the art and sound assets I might need, etc. In part because you can't really think long-term and predict these kind of things, but in part because I didn't want to face the uncomfortable truth that it might take a lot longer than I wanted to complete it. So I always just focused on the next thing I need to implement, never thinking of the "whole", always avoiding thinking of what my finished project would need exactly. Today, in either a moment of clarity or a lapse in judgement, I decided to do exactly that. After 5 hours and 2 coffees I ended up with a list of 148 tasks. By my estimates this would take me 18 more months of working full time to complete. This is 3 times more than what I was originally hoping it would take. And these are only the things I could come up with now and reasonably predict, it's not even accounting for the unknown unknowns that will arise along the way.I already had a project in the past which I abandoned after 3 years. I've been working on this project for 1 year so far. The realization that I need to go for probably at least 2 more years, to a total of 6 years of hard work without even a drop of reward is crushing my spirit. All the passion I had before is lost and in its place: despair.
>>483961926You should get that gyno checked out man, have some bloodwork done. I'm serious.

Good morning /agdg/Reminder. If you aren't making a porn game don't even try it.
Ghosts and Goblins.
I'll do it. I'll make games for a living. You'll see.
>>483948536Working on lore for the next Act. I need your thoughts and opinion.We have 2 clans, player's clan, and rivals clan.Lowhanders is a third clan who disappeared because they were hired to settle things in the tower (30 years ago, or more), all that time tower were sealed.Lowhanders have master mind psychopathic leader, not sure if they all evil now, or just neutral (or maybe he betraied them for his goals and they all died).Earth elves were part of old Triumvirate (Fire elves, Water elves, Earth elves), and we'll find them later in DLCs.Yarhan people - might be optional human race with origin from outside, or even they a from the tower itself.Hard to focus on distinct rout of how to handle those elements.Here are some variations, but they are not strict to be like these structures:-Variation 1-There were Earth elves onlyEarth elves disapperedLowhanders were welcomed to replace themNow there are only LowhandersAfter first time beating their boss Lowhanders split in two faction (a-you can choose one, b-only one of them is friendly)-Variation 2-There were Earth elves, who were above tower people YarhanEarth elves disappered, Tower people went chaoticLowhanders were welcomed to rule themNow there are Lowhanders and Yarhanese peopleAfter first time beating their boss all them split in two/three factions-Variation 3-There were Earth elves onlyEarth elves disappered, years ago some people were welcomed to the tower to replace themTower people went chaotic/civil warLowhanders were welcomed to rule themNow there are Lowhanders and Yarhanese peopleAfter first time beating their boss all them split in two/three factions

Something really bad and nasty will happen if I don't make my game.
>>483952725I'm going to put this line into my game.
>>483962815This bit sucks, get new material.
>>483963229
>>483950415Well as long as you are just a hobbyist solo dev there's nothing le bad. Le bad things start when you will try to earn money and copyright your game(you can't). If you don't care about people just stealing your AI generated assets then it's ok, but you can still encounter some backlash and boycotting for using AI. Not a good press.
people playing my game are quitting in 5 minutes, before they even get to the gameso either:1. there's a crash on the main menu and no one's reporting it (not unprecedented) 2. something about my main menu is particularly offensive enough to get people to quit on the spot within a minute of starting the game3. you have to load the game for it to show up on your profile so theyre loading and quitting instantly just for that

>>483967364Imagine a Stalker game that actually had this atmosphere instead of being just another generic post-apocalyptic wasteland shooter.
I only enjoy action games but I remember a game developer say in an interview to not make them since you'll be compared to every other action game(there are alot of good ones). The guy made cozy mobile games.
>I only enjoy action games

Question:How does one make 2D isometric pixel art that's modular and animated?I.e, let's say there's customizable characters with many clothes parts and many animations that are like, 6 fps.Problem is, how does one do 4-directional isometric pixel art in this way? Only way I can think of is having each "character part" be a separate layer with its own individual frames for each animations, but that would be very time consuming and storage consuming depending on how many character parts and animations there are

>download app to learn Japanese to help add language support to my game>add profile picture of myself>in less than a week have half a dozen qt Japanese waifus that want to date me and meet me in Japan Have you guys considered just being handsome?
cris keeps winning.
>>483972525It will be insanely time consuming even if it's not pixel art. That's why 3D is superior.Picrel, my modular, non-animated, non-pixelart 2D characters and I'm thinking how to make them even simpler.
>>483973181I am handsome. What's the app called? I'm planning on going to Japan in late 2025 anyways.
>>483973181Thats just being white
>>483972129effort is not a mean to an end, it's the end in itself.i wish cris realized this
>>483972525them being separate is like the whole concept of it being modular. the only improvement i can see you making is running a quick load on each component and checking its visibility then compiling each frame into a single image for all 4 directions. it depends on the overhead of your engine but i really cant see a 2d pixel art isometric game running into hardware limitations unless you have a FUCKLOAD of layers and/or characters. i wouldnt bother desu just learn 3d modelling
>>483973181That's nothing, every day I see singles in my area that want to meet up.And I don't even need a profile picture.
>>483973736KEK>6 totally genuine profiles from one of the most conservafem countries totally want to bring over my gaijin ass from across the pacific
>>483972525That's exactly how it's done. Isometric only requires 2 views (side-up and side-down), so it's not so bad, but it's a lot of work, same as all pixelshit. Here's an example of modular characters in 3/4: https://sanderfrenken.github.io/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Generator/

We're all going to make it. I'm going to finish my game and release it in july. It's going to start bringing in enough monthly money to be optimistic about my future. Life is going to get better. Future will become brighter. And by august/september I will go on a vacation after 25 years.

How good is mod support for UE5 games?I'm considering making a game in UE5 and want potential players to be able to mod the game
>>483973181BRB need to install hellotalk
>>483976763I have not posted my game here. It's a casual mobile game so it does have potential to make money. Maybe not much but still has that potential. I have a side income but inflation is high so it's not enough anymore to be comfortable unfortunately. I just need enough money to keep going, maybe just cover my bills, or to be able to invest in my next game. Or just enough to hire an artist for a couple of months. So my next game will be better.

>>483978584I used to love trannies but now I hate them
>>483978520First a simple game, then something closer to the kind of game you'd want to make. Making a game takes such an insane amount of time that taking a month or two to investigate the tools should be done as a matter of course.

>>483979105Interesting. Best of luck.>>483979107Initially, it was about the importance of not forcefully imposing your values on a societal scale, if only because you're not going to be the only one trying that, and you're as likely to end up in their hell as in your heaven. Seeing that, people should seek coexistence, because taking the gambit is in no one's self-interest.Seeing the state of the world, the way various forces use the cover of tolerance to covertly grab for power, made that seem hollow. Yes, this is in no one's self-interest, but some bad actors are going to try, and there's no avoiding a confrontation with them. Sometimes it's do or die. Hell, sometimes you have to be the aggressor, or else everyone is going to be screwed later.It's a very unsatisfying conclusion.

If you give up on your vision, you’re committing spiritual suicide. You might as well just shoot heroin and die, since you already let your vision die.I will struggle to the end.

Does anyone else have a deep, secret desire to make cringekino? I'll admit it, I do. I wish I could make some sort of super angsty RPGMaker game with Toby Fox tier music and dialogue that's eye-rolling to anyone with a fully formed frontal cortex.

>>483988413This doesn't make any sense at all. Whether it's your first game or your 10th, Steam is taking the cut it takes. It's more that marketing is harder. It's more that you generally don't have a budget or skills to cover art, music, programming, writing. It's not that some entity is going to fuck you like Jewish record companies that would enslave great black artists and steal all their money. Steam does take WAY too much, but at least they aren't Jewish about it, they are upfront with the costs.

>>483988296Thank you, God bless.
>>483989264I don't understand how what you wrote is related to what I wrote or why mention Steam at all.
should I bother writing c# in godot or just stick with gdscript? I find gdscript incredibly easy but it's not really a transferable skill to a real job>webdev shitter that only knows js
what have i done...
>>483987975I don't think so. This game was never meant to be published like that, it's more like a part of my game dev studies and I'm still not sure if I like Godot or not.
>>483990164Ya, I didn't read what you were responding to. The level of bullshit here has jaded me and I just assumed you were crab 10,000 for the day. But ya, if you're dealing with publishers that makes more sense. They are going to feast on your flesh.
Any good gamedev/game-programming books from 1996-2001? I have a couple opengl1 books but that's about it
>>483990781Huh why 1996-2001?
>>483981593I want a fanbase like that but all attractive females, plain ones too. I can just imagime walking into that gaming convention and it's just female after female in a line to get my autograph on the tshirts I hand out.>he said "Hi" to meeeeeee *faints*>is that him???? hes so cute!!!!>do you have a girlfriendI need a fanbase like this>>483987413Kek this. Sounds like those people where a single speling eror in a sentnce is enoug make him not undersand wat was said. Idk if he is one of those but I've seen it before and they go "esl?" or "learn english!" Kek.>>483987829Game name?
>>483988395Yeah, especially if you live in the US or Canada. It might be harder for you to litigate disputes if you live elsewhere, and so you might get taken advantage off. I'd be more worried about making a non-shovelware game first.
>>483990961with me, it's going to be like the Squidward meme. The girls are going to say "Oh no, he's hot!"Because they didn't expect such a developer to be so hot.
>>483990961Game is called DeadEyeDanny
>>483990961>female
>>483990901I unironically want to code like it's the 90s for kicks.ANSI C (probably; C++98 and earlier is a hot mess for C++), OpenGL1, etc... Maybe I could adapt it to modern C++ though, just using the tricks and tips from the books.
>>483991136Something like this then?
>>483991089>Yeah"yes it's trustworthy" or "yes it's suspicious"?
>>483972393It'd be nice if I had a gf. I could finally go do stuff I don't because it'd be just me. Sure I could go alone but it'd be nice with a gf who'd eventually become my wife. Let's go hiking in the mountains, forest, play at the beach, or just plain ole sitting in my room playing video games.... It'd probably mostly just be us sitting at home desu. It would still be nice, me sitting there devving, while she plays a video game on my switch. The company would feel nice :(>>483969786Iirc some states let you set up a LLC anonymously
>>483977008>>483975248>>483973181Ask them how they would say "Winnie the Pooh" now that it's in the public domain and culturally relevant
>>483991532wrong country, it's china that gets uppity about pooh bear
Upgraded to 32gb ram, feels very good, especially for UE and having every program open at once
>>483972393I find girls in bob haircuts like that super fuckable
>>483991615Exactly. You will not face any consequences for mentioning the lovable bear icon Winnie the Pooh. Your account will not be banned because it's not China. You could even talk about Taiwan!Say it.

>>483990258My Swedish friend...
>>483991384It's not suspicious at all. They have way more to lose than you. All their games are pretty meh though, but I guess that means their standards are low enough that even agdg trash might get through.
>>483992419Ayehttps://rentry.org/gedgCheck the compendium there are links to free stuff and books (books which are often easy to find online even if they aren't free)
>>483991532>>483991615>>483991860You’re not going to actually offend anyone in China. The Pooh thing in China was that a bunch of chinks spammed Pooh to signal anti-government feelings until he became an anti-government meme and was banned. It’s only in the USA where it’s become an anti-chink hate symbol. In China they’d just think you’re a sympathizer who also wants to bitch about the government.
The d in agdg stands for delusional, once you realise that you understand the state of the thread.
>>483990457>part of my game dev studiesyeah, these tiny projects can teach a lot if you are begining, but eventually you ll need to learn how to make a bigger game. do you have plans for it ?
>>483991136If you're actually attractive, make sure to add a self-insert NPC like Shane in Stardew Valley. Your female fans with extend their romantic connection to that NPC to the real life you once they notice the resemblance.
>>483978056>12 games>on mobileHow long did it take you to make all 12 of those games? That sounds like a lot of work unless they're all very small games.>>483979205Kekd reminds me of when I used to catfish, personality means absolutely nothing. It is 100% looks. I could do different personalities and they'd still respond to me positively, including my own personality. Sympathy for women in absuive relationships is near 0 when they damn well walked into it and overlook it cause they find him attractice.
>>483992821I'm saying this because I read forum posts where, even if you're talking in a non-chinese language, you'll get banned for mentioning no-no words. Even slang.
>>483992676Admittedly I could stand to add more resources. I don't consume books like I used to ...>>483993168this guy gets it
>>483992985Good. If this place wasn't so delusional it wouldn't be any fun. If you want "realistic" gamedev, go to reddit or youtube where the only things people discuss are the most effective shilling strategies, or what trends are worth chasing, or how to optimize their workflow. It's the unfettered autism of /agdg/ that keeps me coming back to this place.
>>483992457>unbreedable man hipspass

>>483992985>>483993404So that's what my well thought out reasonably scoped game gets little attention here. I thought it was because it's just shit.
>>483993662Pretty sure Project Landsword is GameMaker.

>>483993834np. from what I gave you I'll self-shill and recommend this https://rentry.org/gedg-cbuilddepending on your skill level. I also like this book https://github.com/Exoskill/C-headfirst/blob/master/Mastering%20Algorithms%20with%20C%20-%20Kyle%20Loudon.pdf

>>483991654I get the feeling I went overkill with 64gb of ram. I couldve saved some money. Not to mention I dont know if my PC is working at max performance since the CPU ended up being shitty and I had to go into the BIOS to change a setting to prevent it from randomly slowing the whole PC to a crawl except for the mouse cursor which is odd. Seems to be entering an idle state but can't seem to work properly after entering it. From what I read it means the CPU I got ended up being low quality. Iirc the return period passed before I knew of this. I dont want to use warranty since they just ship you some other used CPU.No way I could risk devving on it if I couldnt make that fix that burns out its life at a quicker rate. Imagine being in the middle of a dev session and everything suddenly stops responding or responds super slow and bugs out. I'd be furious if I made lots of progress and didn't save after hours of work. Even if I hit save it'd probably take forveer for the save to go into effect and probably make no obvious indication for a good chunk of time. I doubt leaving the PC on in that state for 30 minutes is a good idea. The fix seems to work but I think I'm gonna have to activate the warranty and just switch it out. I hate building new PCs, component quality is terrible nowadays
>>4839955711. Also please layer the eyes underneath the hair. It looks really weird as is
another cuppa wont hurt me

Now I also want one. fu
>>483995571My vote goes for 1. 3 is the worst.
I've been experimenting with some gameplay changes, for instance your normal attack is now a ranged attack so you no longer have to whack things with your staff. I also added an elemental weakness system.I've been procrastinating too long on adding content so I started doing that but it's going at a glacial pace. Maybe one day my game will have more than 1 level haha
>>483996137No, it means you went on a tangent, something like>but I'm rambling, let me get back to the topic at hand
>>483996530Oh. Well, blame my autism.

>>484000568Narrative and aesthetics. I'm not smart enough to add unique mechanics.

Finishing stuff up mostly right now. I'm not sure what to do next, since I have two things I could do and have to study and learn, but I'll figure it out when I get there soon enough.
>>484000568Narrative. Too much of an artlet for aesthetics and I don't really like video games so I don't know good mechanics.
Chocolate represents that which is delightful. The haunted castle represents the allure of the unknown. The ghosts represent the imprint of the past. All of these things are important. However, don’t think for a moment that, because this game features ghosts in a haunted castle, it is an evil or negative game. On the contrary, I intend for this game to be positive, uplifting and life-affirming. However, if Stardew Valley mostly channeled the energy of the sun, Haunted Chocolatier channels the energy of the moon. Both are vital.

>>484004661Good idea. I'd like to do a rendition of orcs that's closer to Tolkien's ideas for them. I hate what Warcraft and Warhammer have turned orcs into.>>484004847I shouldn't have said monsters, creatures would have been a better word. Of course I'll have elves
>>484003024Well, actually your use case is a bit more dangerous. I mean I use it for this all the time but you have to check it. It's more useful for learning well documented processes. Especially if you're not starting at zero. Like you can fucking handle a flipped parameter without melting down, like most of AGDG. "WHAT THE FUCK IT GOT THE METHOD SIGNATURE SLIGHTLY WRONG WTF I CAN'T LEARN FROM THIS SHITTTTTT"
>>484005178> I'd like to do a rendition of orcs that's closer to Tolkien's ideas for themFor me it's the animated orcs
>>484005178Consider looking into old fairytales and stuff then.Most modern renditions are based on Tolkien's interpretation, including the ones you mentioned.The original orcs were probably based on Pict raiders.
>>483997776Unironically bought it at this price though so Blow swindled properly. I wanted to see if agdg was just trashing on this remaster and if the commentary was good.
I WORKED SO HARDFOR SUCH A DECENT AWARD
>>484006138you could have just pirated it. there's nothing particularly offensive about the remake, it's just pointless and a tremendous waste of resources. classic braid holds up just fine
>>484005678I love that movie. Bakshi's interpretation of Gandalf is my favorite. >>484005884I will definitely do that, that's my entire reason for wanting to make a game. My parents used to read me fairytales and buy me books on elves and gnomes and stuff when I was a kid. I genuinely believed elves were real until I was a teenager.
>>484006929Elves might be real actually.Granted, I'm Catholic so I think they are forest demons, but I think they might exist in some shape.It would explain why they are such assholes too. The Erlkönig is literally a child molester.

Some progress made this week:-created the final 'first' level, finishing the initial 3 you can go to from the start of the game. Wall geo and landscape is finished, needs the rest of the stuff.-a bunch of work on music and sounds, but that doesn't come through on webms here.-implemented a smoother, cooler battle transition, seen in the webm here. Needs a little fine-tuning.next on the block is finalizing the community quests / donations system, ensure said system levels up the various communes correctly, and deciding how I want to implement special building construction and upgrading.
>>484010501You will, but someone's gonna have to take your money
>>484010501that's an impersonal and 'min maxxer' way of dealing with this. These games should be about the characters in them. You should have to interact with the shopkeeper.

>>484011547now make it so that when you draw, it pings a server in Alaska and if your ping time is >150ms you lose the draw (you automatically lose if the server cannot be reached)
>all progress getting shit flung at it... except one person in particularhmm weird
>>484008621fall damage is unironically indispensable for soullikes to work.
>>484011896because it's not a serious game
>>484011761Make Pong into the game's subtitle so people know it's related to it.Ping: Pong.

>>484012075Bokudev is already a pariah. It's an open secret that everyone hates his and wants him to fail, so crabbing him achieves nothing. It's more productive to give reality checks to the assholes who think themselves untouchable
>single player boomer shooter>first person action RPG>multiplayer arena shooter>traditional 2d fighting gameWhich of these should I make? I can only realistically make one for foreseeable future.
>>483973227Need to go to busts like Battle Brothers.
>no cute girl that teases me while I work on my game
>>484012443i don't hate him. he clearly cares about his game, and wants it to become the best it can be.his efforts might be misguided and his tastes debatable, but bokube is clearly a labour of love. i can respect that
>>484012636Unfortunately I'll not help you, making you to atay stuck in decision hell forever.
>>484012435Fall damage doesn’t make sense under water
>>484008621the best games with fall damage give you ways to avoid it, and fall damage deaths aren't "I forgot there was fall damage" but "I slipped and didn't have a back-up"how do you make sure players don't forget that fall damage exists? who knowsif you're going to add fall damage it'll serve an additional challenge to you going forward that might not be worth it. If in that example you could get down by going to the lower platform first, that's fair. If that lower platform wasn't there then it'd mean your level was designed poorly because you forced the player to wait on the lift to get down.
>>484012443I don't hate Bokudev.
>>484012636none of the above, unless you want to fall flat on your facecaptch: NAH 2D
did you niggas forget the we initiated the Aegis Protocol because of the whole marnix situation? No, I'm not gonna elaborate because the newniggers might get wise
Unfortunately, my pc is old and can only handle an outdated version of Godot wich makes it terrible for coding and other stuff since i can't find proper tutorials.I just have to keep going for a few years and then i will be able to start.
Yeah I'll wait until the rotate discord isn't having a "revenge meltie" in the thread.
>>484012636make the one that you'd play.without any answer of feasibility or whatever, just answer it: "What would I play out of these choices?">>484012976just make your own engine.

>>484011758Nice crabbing
Discord Day is coming
>>484015425not participating
>>484014782You can afford to have some performance heavy elements in your game, after all today's gaming computers have at least 16 gb of RAM minimum.

I'm trying to encrypt my save file. In unity I'm trying to use Aes but something is not right. I have a key that I set, which is something like "1234...". It encrypts and saves but it cannot decrypt. There is another parameter for aes which is IV. Do I have to set that one myself also like the key?
>Asmongold
>>484017214whatever, I'll just die. I can't win at life.
>Laptop charger or battery just diedIf I dont find a replacement no Journey in Azur next DD.

>>484017492It's a white person problem. We also sometimes need white noise machines to sleep.
>>484017914I never played your game anyways
>>484017914I thought you were working on a different game now?

>>484018414I was taking a bath while updating the distro and then boom the whole pc shutdown, I got a led beeping, and from what I google, it is either the charger dead or the battery.
>>484017914Did you put your game's files somewhere safe?
>>484016242Stop with the drugs. You just have to pull an all nighter and then you can go to sleep at any time.No drugs. Stop. Immediately.
>>484016242Please slowly do what you can to get off of this mate. Any bit will count.

Fuck it, I'm going to start pretending this guy is a cute girl too. It's probably the best shot I'll have at a cute gamedev gf.

>>484020348Even better

>>484020680>Do you want to buy it?>Continue
>>484020680Is there anything unique about this game, or is it just a poor man's animal crossing?
Guys, please remember to take care of your bodies. I've been lying in bed all day because my back is fucked. I'm in so much pain It's 100% the fault of my terrible posture. Just remember to do some stretches or go to the gym or something while you're still young.
>>484020757i don't know why that button always appears, i have to check the docs>>484020802dating is planned, otherwise just a more streamlined game

>>484020347Nigga didn't learned about arrays yet.
>>484020347why do you idiots always want to duplicate code
>>484020347I use GLFW because GLFW gives floating point mouse coordinates.
>>484020347ask chatgpt
>>484021725>why do you do something that works instead of some arbitrary abstractions like me?! don't you care about the 0.00001% efficiency increase?!
>>484021839you definitely are the kinda nigga who never wrote nothing more complex than a hello world10 million "if it works it works" later and now you have an incomprehensible codebase that you can't debugthen you will crawl back to me cryingasking me to teach you how to abstract things nicely and avoid duplicationbut i will whisper "no"

I will never ever buy a video game but I expect millions to buy mine
>>484016827I'd shill his channel more than any other girl or media network. Its better to have a male gamer than a jew or a woman any day of the week to get your game or dev related news sorry faggot
>>484022201im already retarded but whatever that is my have just taken out the last few brain cells
>>484022364I don't really care if you don't buy them, I do care if you play them and understand why they're good. Basically what I'm saying is, none of you have any excuses to not have played indie games to learn from because you don't want to support the devs.
>>484022553I can't name a single good game released in the last 5 years
>>484022075Most "enginedevs" are first year compsci students with superiority complexes who want to prove how smart they are by making everything 1000x more needlessly complicated than it needs to be.
>>484022651Hello Kitty Island Adventure
>>484022243>enginedevs are Mandalorians...
>>484022653I want to make an engine that's simple to use though and not needlessly complicated like Unity, Unreal and Godot.
>>484022653I graduated from comp sci this past year and I'm making my own engine because I believe that Unity, Unreal, and Godot is the more complicated way to do things.I prefer starting from first principles, building exactly what I need, and understanding my codebase at a fundamental level.I think enginedev is the simpler way to go, that's why I'm doing it.
RPG Maker, but CRPG Maker.
>>484022653might have been true a decade ago, but zoomers are smart so it might be wrong now
>>484023123There already is a Chinese version of RPG Maker
>>484022653I was like that all throughout school until after about a year after I got my first real software job. Really, all it is was that I, as well as many other junior devs, get filtered by complex, higher-level abstractions, and think that lower level interfaces are easier, because that's all that's taught in school. There's still an inside joke within my friend group that goes "we should rewrite OpenCV". (I got filtered by and tried to rewrite OpenCV.) Case in point:>>484022850>>484023038

What the hell is the difference between "adventure" and "puzzle adventure" in games? Adventure does well, but puzzle adventure doesn't.
>>484023824Adventure game is the fun stuff. Puzzle adventure games are boring stuff like Myst and The Witness.
>>484023791The broom is a dirty old man transformed by the witch, and he'll be your funny companion for the game.

>>484024119NTA but most young men go through this superiority phase in their late teens/early 20s. What changes is your brain developing.
i seem to have figured it out
>>484024381yet you willing give yourself STDs, gross
my game isnt the BEST, but damn its close,.
>>484024307Na, I don't think it's this. I'm still superior to all of you.>>484024119I was forced to and therefore learned how to deal with complex libraries, frameworks, and APIs. Learning how to read the docs and learn an framework is a skill of itself that one must practice to get good at.
>>484024093Mmm I get it, thanks anon.
how do I make a puzzle that dearly pears who thoughtfully say 'Thoughever' and 'Thoughbeit' would carefully enjoy?
>>484021976solution: make small games.
My game has sold 700 copies. How many has yours sold?
>>484025293701
>>484025293sold?
>>484019402Have you tried putting your game in a zip file and hosting it on Mega or Drive or something?
I'll probably kms...
>>484025952noo don't do it
i should work on my game... but i will do that later
>>484025293I am keeping my game to myself. Gamers have lost that privilege.
>>484025952>Kills self>2 years later, sexbots are issued by the government to combat rising suicide rates
I personally learned starting engine dev with a generic engine is death, creating the logic and building on top is much better(I hope)

>>483955042You could've bought hundreds of bitcoin for nothing at one point in time. You're always gonna miss out on stuff. That's the way life is. The way forward is looking at what you can do now and in the near future to get where you wanna be in the future.
>>483994659I haven't actually managed to make a demo before, although other people have made art of the game before which was cool
