what went wrong?
codelet here, is it alright to people controller script to use it in your game without crediting the one who write it?
>>486919837>LE HECCIN FACTS AND SCIENCE!!!!OMG yes sister!!! This reminds me of my favorite Neil Degrasse Tyson video where he’s talking about how science and math shows that God is a silly made up magical sky fairy and how the vaccine is totally proven by science and truth to be 100% safe and effective!!

>>486920086Depends on the license.
>>486919959Not enough content variety.>Do you like games like FE, FFT, Ogre Battles or Symphony of War? Good, go replay those instead. I was willing to look passed the terrible use of the retro style in promise of deep customization etc of your heroes and dynamic combat. It is not these things. At best, it is a $20 gimmick to try and get access to the reemerging tactics market that's been expanding over the last few years. Dull game play and a boring soundtrack. The random map generation does nothing to make the levels feel any different. I'm not sure I have anything good to say about this game except that it does let you find out real fast it's not fun to play so you can return it before it's too late.>Far too minimal. Perhaps there is more to this game that I am missing, but the fact that there's only 3 starting characters (and 3 slots) makes every run feel similar.>Eh. Grindy and punishing, and not really in a fun way IMO. I'm not sure that there are even good outcomes to shrines, every one has been devastating to my party and led to quick losses.

>>486920301>>486920446Have you posted your games here in the past 3 months? Because I haven't seen any game in development that's likely to have even 1k reviews.
>>486920763your taste is notoriously bad, unbelieverposter
I decided to draw some characters, one similar to my current style and another in chibi style. All while not referencing my current style at all but still pixel art. They came out better than the current art in my game, significantly better. I tried at least copying the color palette onto my current game's character design and she was coming out terrible before I even finished! I started just fixing her design while keeping the majority of the overall shape. She came out good. I don't want to go through another character art overhaul! This time there is a bigger problem, I have to redo the countless NPC's I've already made. That's 10's of hours of work that was mostly for naught! Do you know how boring it was to do that months ago? I was literally losing focus and feeling like I was about to fall asleep!Aggy daggy why must this be so hard!!!
>>486920763>some retarded incel on 4chan with no job who lives in his mom’s basement is the ultimate taste maker and has omniscient astral projection abilities allowing him to know how every game will perform on steam before it is even finished The internet is an amazing place!!!
>>48692076330,000 sales isn't actually all that much. I'm pretty sure around 3-5 of the top 10 most popular last demo day could manage that.
>>486920653what?
>>486920763my game is guaranteed a pretty easy 1kthe actual question is just how far beyond that am I able to keep going
>>486920734Yes. If it's CC-BY you can credit them by having a a web page with hundreds of assets listed and linking to it at the bottom of your game credits.
>>486920734Yes. CC0 is equivalent to public domain.It's still good manners to credit them.
>>486920301Here are some games that came out recently and look decent with 10 or fewer reviews.10 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3055780/PERMUTER/3 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1829310/Corsairs_Madness/4 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2696660/Kiopioke/0 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2560020/A_Walk_in_the_Park/6 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1625930/Galaia/Good luck anon!
40 to 60 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 350 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 50 games a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2024HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY
>>486920951>>486921106How many wishlists are you getting? How many likes on social media? What are you basing your estimates on except optimism?
>>486921127If you think cosmicalligger is selling more than 100 copies you’re coping
You could post the Into the Breach storepage with the reviews altered and "what went wrong" and retards here would say the same thing.
>>486921353Every single one of those looks like complete dogshit, you didn’t seriously think this was some type of own did you? It just shows how low your own expectations are for your own work output. Truly grim, I’m sorry for you
>>486921486Cosmic Call has never reached top 10 of any demo day
>>486921276>>486921324ah alright, thanks
>>486921609Each of these games look better than 99% of all Demo Day entries. It is not an 'own', it is a wakeup call that your pretty graphics won't automatically give you the sales. But post your game if you think yours looks better.
>>486920212You are a contrarian retard.
>>486921609Almost all games posted here look like complete dogshit except the space ship game and ToK, but even they are probably going to be in the low hundreds of reviews.
>>486921945Demo day 57 had 101 entries, and the top 10 all look better than those games, so your "99%" is already proven wrong.
>>486922112Lurk more, I can tell you haven’t seen my game lmao>>486921945>pretty graphics>he exclusively linked 2d pixel shart, puzzle games, and platfaggersI’ll be ok don’t worry, thanks for the concern trolling though it was very valuable!!
>>486922112Aura and Ero both already have thousands coming in monthly on Patreon. Getting ~30,000 sales will be trivial for them. Ctesiphon, Landsword, Archtower etc. all have production level art already in and could probably hit 30,000 lifetime sales. Some of the other ones could probably as well once they hit production art too.
>>486922376>Lurk more, I can tell you haven’t seen my game lmaook, but... >>486921470
>>486922112The spaceship game will never release and ToK will have a rough time passing 100. It would depend heavily on how much marketing effort his publisher puts in, because there's no way that game will sell itself.
>>486919359Lol is there a more dedicated shitposter than ericschizo?
>>486919837is that a loli?
>>486922409>Archtowerwill not reach 500 reviews ever. It's had 73 reviews in 18 months and there's a formula to calculate EA vs 1.0the other two games I'd be very surprised if they reach 500 reviews never mind 1000 or 5000 as that original confident anon suggested.
If you don't add "1" to the end of your game's title, then you're a pussy ass bitch who's too insecure to assume that your game WILL have a sequel.
>>486923263If you add a number to your game, then you don't have an ounce of creativity or confidence that your game will stand on its own merits.

>>486935893dumb dotard
Are there any youtube guides that actually teach how to build a game from the ground up? Not some "I made pong in 7 minutes" viewbait shit that teaches you to copy their implementation of pong and nothing else, but a proper guide that lays out basic coding, engine features and functions you'll need, and how to structure a full-sized project.
>>486935376females should never be MC's.Girls can only be sexy or cute. Not badass or cool.Stop. As soon as I see game with female MC, I pass on it. Instant pass.
>>486936380a real Baby Maximillian moment if I've ever seen one
>>486937071Guides can teach you how to make something, but your only proper teacher is to remake crappy games until your brain magically understand how shit is made.And there's not shortcut over that.Just making hundreds of crappy games over 10 years.There's still some books like clean code and clean architecture that deals with the top down view of software.And no.No tutorial will teach you fucking CS, except those boring MIT lectures that are university shit about boring CS topics like software design.
Anons, do you ever feel like video games are punching below their weight, so to speak? Or that they could evolve into a medium much greater in scope than any game today?>>486914889Take Tynan. From his blog and GDC talks you can tell he has a deep understanding of game design. He created a game that's played by millions of people for millions of man hours. People love his game. By all measures he's a success and one to aspire to. But can we do better?For ex: There are elements of sports, tabletop games, and outdoor rec/exploration that blow video games out of the water. Basically anything games try to simulate can be much richer at peak moments than the condensed and neutered video game form.
>>486937412yeah yeah this old bullshit the best way to learn is by doing, but that only works once you've got a foundation to build on. people only learn to drive by driving because they've got 16 years of cultural context and interaction with cars to build on. you know the pedals make it go, the wheel makes it turn, you stay between the lines, and so on. you show some uncontacted tribesman from darkest peru a car and he's going to be fucking clueless. you can't toss him into the street and expect him to learn that shit by doing, he needs someone to explain what the hell a car even is. no one can learn to make a game by opening unity and pressing buttons. it's simply not possible without some sort of explanation. coding even more so, trying to code without being taught is like trying to write in a foreign language with neither a dictionary or a grammar handbook. just stare at the blank page until you figure something out.

>>486927481Just create a max speed. In my experience you just have to fuck with the player movement and tinker around until it feels like how you want it to feel

>>486937071>Not some "I made pong in 7 minutes" viewbait shit that teaches you to copy their implementation of pong and nothing elseCan you make pong?If your answer is anything other than yes, then that clickbait youtuber is a more knowledgable game developer than you, and you might just learn something from watching their video.If you can make pong, then just learn how to make other games the same way you learned to make pong.
I really wish English had a more natural gender-neutral third person pronoun than they/them. The fact that they/them is used for plural third person as well makes it sound awkward as fuck. And yes, I have to use a gender-neutral third person. The ambiguity of the player character's gender is a plot point.
Trying to determine the best workflow for building levels. The advantage of landscape splines is it conforms the terrain to match. The disadvantage is that's the only advantage.
>>486941173english also lacks separate versions of "we" that include or exclude the one being spoken to, unlike some other languages
>>486941259this is really begging for a giant ball to come rolling down
the dawn of Erlang KINO is upon us bros
>>486941173The natural gender-neutral pronoun in English is he. Fuck feminists and everyone who said he isn't good enough it has to be HE OR SHE and then THEY instead
>>486941464What is this game and was it actually programmed in erlang
>>486919959The game is made by a guy responsible for Sigma Finite Dungeon, and it was a game I've spent more than 50 hours. It was a small scale masterpiece with amazing progression system paired with Into The Breach style combat and procedurally generated dungeons. Granted, I bought it because it was -80% off and the story is non-existent but I had a blast. I genuinely believe Crawl Tactics is just as good or better and all he needed was more exposition.
>>486939000There isn't any time travel game that can surpass the ones that already exist in terms of storytelling quality.
>>486941540Fun fact: The word man is gender neutral. Originally there was a masculine word to refer to an adult male human (wehrman or wereman) alongside the feminine woman and neutral man, but it fell into disuse and about the only place it's still present in English today is in the word werewolf (wolf MAN)

>>486942814Forgot to attach picrel.
>>486941173>gender>ambiguous
>>486941173just use male pronoun as the neutral.A woman should not be offended for being called a he or him due to gender neutral pronoun usage.A man is right to be offended for being called a she though.Everyone knows this to be intuitively true.
>>486942589everything in Erlang is a process. Processes run independently and communicate via message passing. So you avoid lots of pain around multi-threaded programming. It all runs on a very optimized and lightweight VM that manages the process initialization and scheduling, You can group processes under supervision trees and get free logging/monitoring/error isolation. And then it supports hot reloading so you can drop live updates to the server logic without any service loss.
>>486938735
>>486942262It's not, but you're free to think that.
>>486943368
>>486937071Games are just a collection of systems.There are plenty of tutorials for each system, but since every game has different systems, you have to learn them separately. Character controller, camera, menus, enemies, stats, physics, generation, shaders, particles, etc.Learning what systems exist is just a matter of looking at other games and dissecting them.

>>486943176It's the same reason we can say mankind or "guys" to mean the group of people you are with.
>>486943734-combining systems is a task in itself-systems like a character controller are easy to find tutorials for. something like setting up a worldspace is very much not. everyone wants to teach how to make the guy jump, no one wants to teach decent methods for adding gameworld terrain.

>>486938616>Play passage.Ok, I played it. Not sure I'm fully getting it but I see what you mean. I feel the same way about Baba Is You. So I guess the rule of thumb should be: only make games that need to be made. i.e. if it's already been done, do something new & if it can be better expressed in writing/film/etc don't force it to be a game. Make something that must be interactive to be properly expressed
>>486945021What the fuck is this. It is hideous. Model is cute but the bending is very unsettling. Good for a horror game I guess.
>>486945509sure it's not, frogposter. was it high school? middle school? something extracurricular like a music school? there's a million things that could be going on there. plus, you as a third party also has no idea if "we" is inclusive or exclusive there.
>>486945637yeah.There's better mediums to tell stories than games.Even manga is a better medium than games to tell a story.
>>486945371Thanks but no luck unfortunately. It even tells me 'unreachable code' detected. I'll just name it something else for now.

>>486945707>was it high school? middle school? something extracurricular like a music school?how the fuck is any of that relevant to your point? regardless of what kind of school it is, friend 1 already knows if he went there. if he did, the "we" is you and friend 1. if he didn't, the "we" is you and friend 2. if you, friend 1, and friend 2 all went there, then the "we" includes all 3 of you.

>>486945940say, friend 1 and I only went to the same middle school, but friend 2 and I only went to the same high school.Again, you came up with multiple possibilities as well, showing its ambiguity.
>>486946131I could but its just extra code that isn't used.Its fine, i could just be more explicit with the variables.
>>486946460in that bizarre edge case then it'd be made immediately obvious like 2 seconds later when you show him the article and it says the name of the school, if voice tone indicators didn't make it clear already

>>486946219>advanced tactics games aka the nopest of all amateur gamedevYou don't need to have very advanced gameplay.
I think I'm going to miss my next deadline. Deadline was to have my game be demo ready by the end of August. I set out on this maybe late last month. About 2.5 months on that deadline and almost 50% of the time has already passed! Most of my dev time was spent handling stuff not so important to making a demo. Sure a little was done towards fixing some important stuff but the amount of stuff I still need just seems unfeasible.I don't think I can make it in time. Some of you might think this would be quick if you knew what I need to do but I just feel so all over the place and anything on the art side results in me spending hours just trying to get it right. Anything on the code side I end up dreading but it ends up being a coin flip of <1 hour to do or multiple days of trying to get a simple looking thing functioning as intended with 0 bugs. The worst is anything with UI that ties in with interactivity. Also I need to add music and sfx.It's over!
>>486946720But it is ambiguous. Were there inclusive and exclusives versions of "we", it would be immediately clear.Again, not really a huge deal, but there are some languages that have two version of "we". See this article for more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clusivity

If you went to multiple schools you'd most certainly say which specific school you're talking about, regardless of if you need to use "we" or "our".I'm sure there's a better example out there but this isn't it, having two forms of "we" would not help in this case.Not to mention, you can emphasise the "we" or "our" if you have to show that it's not talking about the subject.>friend 2 sent me an article about, OUR, school.without adding "we went to" because that would confuse things.

>>486950357I should've also added that you can change the subject to be Friend 1.>You remember the school we went to? Friend 2 send me an article about itThere's a lot of shit on that wikipedia page and I don't know if any of it is useful, but this is actually relevant to gamedev. It's important not to introduce characters and then disregard them, because the player's mind will still be focused on the character you've just shown. Apparently there's some rule in writing that Shakespeare might have followed where you don't have 4 characters talking at once, either. Controlling the subject matter is important if players are skimming the text (you know they will)
>>486950806Yeah you gotta be very careful with the pronoun game if you're telling a story. I've read many books or dialogue in games where they play "he said she said" with 4 characters or more and it's impossible to follow.

Getting precise melee collision working was surprisingly easy once I figured out the trick.For anyone trying to do this kind of thing in Godot, keep track of the hitbox's transform in the previous frame and then interpolate another Transform3D (I used a duplicate dummy hitbox) to it according to the distance, casting a shape up the length each time. Do this after every frame during an attack.
>>486950025any reason for not moving the green radar thing on the left down onto the left "physical" screen?also, there's such a thing as multi use screens. for instance if you wanna have character portraits for when your commander is talking to you or whatever, you can have lets say an overhead map on the bottom left screen, and simply switch it over to the character portrait while communications is going on etc.looking good otherwise.

>>486954146If you're early on its time to figure out what the issue is and learn why you're getting the error before the project gets to big.If i remember correctly, this is usually because yore referencing in code something that doesn't exist in the scene.Chances are you're referencing a deleted object, you're spawning multiples in a row and the code not referencing it correctly, or something like this.What is the goal of the tutorial? what are you trying to do?
>>486952473that does not look right, anon. Old method had only one of such triangle per concave mesh

>>486954696And now that it's stagnant you have the opportunity to be making games and learning before the second golden age
>>486954961If there was a golden age for indie devs it was 2010 to 2015. You had less competition than today but you also had Unity and Unreal.

Do the people lamenting about the "golden age of indies" and crying how "it used to be easier" even understand that even during 2015-2017 the MAJORITY of the games that would get 20-50 reviews today used to get 200-500 reviews at most. You don't want to be making the kind of game that would only make 200-500 reviews in the first place. Raise your standards a littlea game that would have made 6000 reviews in 2015 can easily make 6000 reviews today (albeit a little slower)
nvm, i get the error again, start over from making the bullet and script, when i save that and move back to unity, i get NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object, i already add rigidbody2D and drag rigidbody2D to the RB

>>486956124Yes, we just need to decide to make appealing games. I can't believe how many devs skip that step.
>>486956392fuck off Faggy
>>486956338because it sits snugly at the beginning of the "stupid games which appeal to brain damaged morons with ADHD" trend. Trendsetter games and outliers aren't important here. We need to focus on averages

>>486956338>Let's look at the exceptions and not the rules!
>>486956505>>486956839but isn't the point that in the "golden age" you could release a simple game like Hotline Miami and succeed just because you were first? whereas you can release a similar game today and you're lucky to hit double figures
>>486923263My game is designed to have no sequels.
>>486957159Hotline Miami is not a "simple game".
>>486957279why not?
I feel like I'm very close to having a working state machine I can be happy with, one that is dynamic enough to use on everything.I'm sure it will fall apart when I actually implement it though.
>>486957159originallikes that spawn and entire wave of clones of themselves cannot be evaluated like the average game. If you want recent equivalents to hotline miami the answer is vampire survivors and balatro, not hotline miami clone #428

>>486957510>Has multiple chapters >Has multiple endings >Distinct art style >A large soundtrack that lasts over an hour >Deep story with lore (real lore too, not fake lore)A "simple game" would be like Super Mario Bros or Tetris. Hotline Miami might look simple on the surface but the average person could have not made that game, evident by the fact that nobody's been able to make something like it since.
I feel like I should be using rigid body for what I am trying to accomplish....
>nooooooooo I added 80s music and depression to a SNES game!!! I'm a genius and it had nothing to do with favorable market circumstances
>>486958165Post game.
>>486958165what SNES game are you talking about?
>>486958053Loaded (1995)
the reason why hotline miami (like all other games) got picked up by the mainstream is the presentation. You can say that's luck or whatever. But the reason why it got to 80 000 is because is has substance. This is something you can't fake. If your game has no substance then it has no legs, and even if you go viral it will never lead to something long-term
>>486958313>no one shot kills>no weapon pickups>no executions
>>486958313so there was a niche vacuum close to 20 years long? No wonder it was a hit

>>486958610>yes there isbro you can see the health bar on the top corner

Switched from URP to HDRP.
>>486958880why?
>>486957930Hotline Miami would be as bad as every other 80s nostalgia bait game if it weren't for its finely honed mechanics. Playing levels feels very different from something like >>486958313 because you have free range to play it like a stealth game or a run n gun and either extreme will fuck you up real gud. It's actually amazing how distinct and fresh it feels for such an overused theme
>>486958909Volumetric fog and lights. Plus, it's optimized so you're getting decent fps.
>>486958880Mongol if he soulless
>>486958998pretty sure URP is way faster and lighweight than HDRP

>>486959206sure it is just walk past the zombies and exit the level there's your stealth lmaoHotline Miami succeeded because of it's cool aesthetic and an indie game boom not because it wasn't a simple game with derivative mechanics
i'll never get the type of autism minecraft attracts. the game is so fucking boring after a while. yet even after a decade they still make those dumbass youtube videos and get millions of views.YO IAM BUSTING THOSE 10 MINECRAFT MYTHSholy shit it's fucking empty game, everybody knows every detail about minecraft. why do millions of people care about "minecraft myths", there are no myths in that game. holy shit man i dont understand this world. fucking clown world. its probably best to dumb yourself down and think like an 8 year old on mood boosting drugs, thats the perfect mental state to make content that people actually want.
>>486959549stupid 8 year olds who weren't alive back in the day watch those videos tho
>>486959774minecraft is really a money printing machine.meanwhile some devs try really hard and can't even make a living.life is really just a gamble.
>>486957949>never gets played or talked about again but also make 1 million dollars off it!!!Yes. People should forget the things I make and only remember them as pleasant memories that they never bring up. Also I want to make a lot of money.

>>486959475>sure it is just walk past the zombies and exit the level there's your stealth lmaoNo, my point was that you CAN play stealthily but it's suboptimal. Same for run n gun. When you play with the optimal balance of stealth and haste it all gels so well, especially with the soundtrack.
life is a mindfuck.you need money. but there is no promise of earning money. so you avoid doing anything that doesn't 100% get you money, because, you need to survive, right? yet when you have that mindset, you almost do nothing, because you need to try things to see what works. which means you cannot care about money, or you'll never try. because you need money, so you can't just fuck around. but you need to fuck around, because you need to dig random holes in order to (hopefully) find some rare ores.but when you are poor you can't just dig random holes, you need money now. but if you need money now you think short-term, and there is no short-term money. everything requires specialized knowledge. and also luck. and trying a lot.holy shit man sometimes i can understand homeless people. it's like some existential suicide, but "letting go" might at least prevent you from getting cancer from all that existential stress.

>>486960843it's just, that you have no control over "getting the right idea". it's basically just destiny. you can explain in detail why minecraft is so successful. you can make a list: "it has this and that"but ok, then use that list and make a game and sell it, see if that list works. if it doesn't work, what does that mean? it means that it's pure destiny to have the right idea at the right time.and you can't just make 100 games, because even making 1 game takes a long time.it's like having to work 3-4 years for getting a lottery ticket that has a 0.001% chance of winning. it's just a mindfuck.

>>486956124only like 50 indies a year get that many reviews.you're suggesting people to lock in 5 years of their life on a gamble. getting 20 reviews after 5 years is also possible.Aftre some time watching marketing people it seems that people who've had a gem on their hands knew it from the prototype stage by reactions of people. so just prototype and gauge reactions until you get something worth pursuing.
>>486961591I can do it in two years. Sounds like a skill issue on your part
>trying to make good game>afraid it won’t get popular unless i add some meme worthy moment into itFUCK
>>486957949At this point it's worth considering ways to clamp down on your game's popularity so it doesn't burn out so quickly. Minecraft was lucky to grow organically over like 3 years until it hit its peak, before youtube was ubiquitous. Release something with as much potential as minecraft today and youtube, tiktok, twitch, twitter and and all the other vultures will descend on it instantly and tear it to shreds, squeezing every bit of life out of it.Just imagine if you could place an embargo on all obnoxious coverage of your game. Then we could go back to a time when these were the kinds of videos people madehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnjSWPxJxNs

>>486940930eyp... great game
how big is your team guys? development of my game started a few days ago and i already got like 6 programmers, one musician, and one artist/animator (me)
>>486961794think of it like music. people don't want to go to a museum and appreciate finest art.they want to go to a theme park and vomit from being shaken around.people don't want to appreciate hard excellent work, they want to enjoy fun stupid things.same with music, same with food. people want distractions and fun, they don't want excellence.
>>486962050it’s actually 4 programmers now
>>486962050Just me and a art friend. It's rough. I wish I had 1 other programmer with me, preferably one that was a lot smarter than me, so I can get help from them.
>>486955596i still have to do the walking animation, then i will actually start creating my boss fight script
>>486962009Nope. being a wagie is stable income. choosing other "hobbies" as a side job is more stable and profitable(on average).
>>4869620503. Godette, Jesus and I.
>>486961794Don't worry anon. When you make something actually good and players tell you so, you'll forget all about trying to make pic related. And don't listen to >>486962086

I can't make an animation loop in the animator in Unity. The animation has loop time and loop pose activated but refuses to loop unless I feed it commands to start the animation over and over

you guys pay way too much attention to genres and niches99.999% of players don't give a shit, they just want to play a cool video game that makes their monke brain feel good
>>486921353The real problem is they're likely not mobile games.
I'm boutta skrrrt and hit the dab like WIZ KHALIFA
I think this is too dark and muted.
i could literally finish my game in 24 hours if i had any semblance of a work ethic and passion
>>486965657quit 4chan and social media. do it for yourself. it'll never get better. you have to make the hard decision to quit. the internet is holding you back. in 10 years you'll still come here, still have achieved nothing.
no hate or anythingbutif you search "unders" on steam you get some onahole software before underspace
>>486965036>cool video game that makes their monke brain feel goodwe know but how do you find these cool games in the infinite search space of shit ideas. most people start with genres that already work and then try to find their way to something unique that hasn't already been made and its kind of doable as a solodev.
getting into gamedev was the worst decision of my life. it ruined gaming for me. yet at the same time i'm also tired of gamedev too. so basically went one step forward and the two steps backwards.
>>486965915i've been here for 14 years already

>>486965920>game by one of the biggest porn artists shows up before an anonwow who could have seen this coming
>>486966436It doesn't even have a name, characters, story, or a single implemented quest. So I'd say at least 6 months for a bare bones "prologue".
>>486966328gaming is for childrengamedev is foreveri WILL have a game on steamand i WILL boast about it until the day i diesimple as
>>486965920Do you think most people have adult content enabled?
>>486962843 Software is used for SERIOUS BSNS by professionals so they need to obtain it legally or risk being fired or sued and lose a lot of money but games are just stuff consume for their own personal enjoyment it's not feasible to just go around sueing every player as it is suing companies so if you try to charge $500 they will just pirate your game just like they would the $500 software if they could do it without consequences
>>486966610bro...
>>486965036My game is cool and feels good to me but that's not helpful if no one else feels that way. Genres allow targetting groups of people more easily.

>>486962843It's comparing a TOOL to a CONSUMABLE broadly speaking
>>486972184if your game has a vision to begin with you would never find yourself in this situation. Games with vision find their way to being good eventually
>>486972482I'm not going to make it because I have no vision.
>>486924546the simplest way is to use a timer1st input -> can_double_tap = true -> start 0.25s timeron_timer_end -> can_double_tap = false2nd input -> can_double_tap? if true, double tap, if not, start timer...obviously your code wouldn't be split like this, it would look more like>if !can_double_tap:> some_timer.start()> can_double_tap = true>else:>can_double_tap = false>do_double_tap_thing()>>func on_timer_end():>can_double_tap = false

>Ground physics:>If above speed cap, decelerate down to speed cap>If below speed cap, accelerate up to speed cap>If no input, decelerate to zero>If in air, don't apply acceleration/decelerationWould this be the right way to go if I have moves in my platformer that increase my speed?

I stayed up late last night working on a new aesthetic (from rendered billboard sprites to 3d models) and it looks like shit. I put together a 3d first person rig with my weapon model and it looked so bad that I just went to bed. It actually looked better when I was going to great lengths to make it look shitty and low res than when I tried to make it look nice.
I'm a fucking retardwe're back
>>486984305Same...
>>486984305Embracing being a retard is the only way to live on this bitch of an earth. Anyone who's actually smart and talented knows it from a young age, the rest of us just have to live with ourselves.
>>486954023Looks nice, I had something like this in my main project. But for the weapon cast are you using a hitbox or raycasting? I used to have a few martker3d nodes along the blade and keep track of their last position during swing animation, then check if I hit anything from 1 frame to the next. More or less you are doing the same thing, right?
what makes devs arrive at 90% finished game and call it quits, just chill and barely update/push to release?looking at you the gun is good

>>486983537There is no "right way". Everyone makes up their own way. The better games with more complicated controllers with cases for every situation.
>>486984831Finishing a game, as in polishing it to a state that you believe is worthy of putting out into the world and asking people to pay money for, is the hardest and most arduous part of game development. As an example, IIRC Eric finished the base gameplay of Stardew in something like 6 months and then spent the next 4 years adding extra content, polishing existing content, changing the art, and all the other stuff that comes with getting a game ready for release.If you've never had to deal with finishing a game then it's hard to explain the feeling that comes with it. It's not like finishing a project for a college class, because that actually has a strict deadline and you'll receive a grade in return for your efforts. As an amateur game dev you have no deadlines. You have to know when to tell yourself "enough is enough" and try to ignore the thoughts telling you "but wouldn't it be cool to add this" or "but couldn't this thing be a little bit better if you spent more time on it". It's hard.
weekend progress> player controller with stair stepping (mostly code from previous project)> learning trenchbroom + func_godot workflow> added axe animations> made pistol model + textures + basic animationprobably won't add a first person rig as it is meant to be a short game anyway
Every single system I have implemented this far has been more or less as airtight as reasonably possibleand now we get to animations, and everything is just one huge diarrhea spaghetti bowl that's threatening to collapse in on itself at any moment

>>486986419It was very slow going in the beginning for Tricky Madness. Just keep improving the game and posting on social medias and hope you'll start getting traction.
>>486984653Godot provides shapecasting, which has identical features to a raycast, but uses a collision shape.The key feature here is being able to calculate collisions from multiple positions within one frame.So the shapecast node mimics the "main" hitbox, and interpolates between the transform from just after the last frame's main position to just before the current main position..

>>486992945getting addicted to playing your own game is a huge trap. you'll end up thinking it's fun and good , and start ignoring all the things that are wrong with it. plus you'll waste tons of time that could otherwise be spent improving it. don't do this

>>486998642There's nothing wrong with overscoping as long as you're actually devving. The "problem" I often see people run into with overscoping is that they plan too much before they even get started prototyping. They look at the mountain of ideas they wrote down, get overwhelmed, and give up. I put problem in quotations because these people are nodevs and their experiences are mostly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.In the architecture business we often present a client with a concept that we know is going to exceed their budget, then work with them to keep the things they like while removing extra expenses they deem unnecessary or can't afford. Try to approach your game like that. Come up with your maximum scope, then as you dev think of what features are actually necessary and remove the ones that aren't. Who knows, you may find that you have the time and energy to include things you thought could be cut. You don't know until you try.>>486999135>lowpoly norwaylmao

>>487000117stayathomedev does some pretty good tutorials
>>487000329I was in Iceland in early June and I was very surprised by how big the Icelandic female butt is.Usually the stereotype is that ultra white women got flat butts.

>>486998974Sorry I'd do it but I really really REALLY want to move to Japan instead.
if I moved to Japan I'd have to start adding black censor bars to everythingthat'd suck
>>487000872Blubber storage for the harsh winters
>>487001426Yes, I wish they'd get rid of those laws. But on the bright side you can sell your stuff at doujin conventions.
>>487001426Moving to Japan is fucking meme if you're not incredibly wealthy (rich enough to the point that you never have to work again). Everything is so god damn expensive and commuting to and from work is hell on earth, especially in the summertime.The restaurants are great, it's very safe, and Japanese people are friendly for the most part, but that's all stuff you could just as easily experience on a vacation (which I'd reccomend). To actually live there is a totally different story.>t. had to live in Japan for 6 months as a company rep
>>487002045Ideally I'd work make a living with my video games rather than working for a company.
>Neighbors arguing again>In the middle of the street this timeWhy are nodevs like this
>>487002045Not a problem. All I need is a hundred year old countryside house with an internet connection and a cute small town girl to make babies with.
>>487002576Same....
>>486995698>oh look a game loopSo your game will be walking 100 feet and killing 3 enemies while walking? That’s the gameplay loop you’re aiming for? Pretty grim thoughbeit
>>487002547An idle brain is the devil's workshop.
>>487002547Mexicans I presume?
>>487002576>cute small town girlThis is the only thing I’m missing, most of them move away from their small town because they grow up dreaming of living in the big city. The ones that don’t move generally get married at 18 or 19 to their high school sweethearts and live happily ever after

I don't care so much about the specific country but I want to live around polite and friendly people.
>>486961045why_boner.jpg
>>487003483I'm going to move to Ireland and marry a beautiful red haired Irish girl with green eyes and pump her full of babies to save the declining redhead birthrates. I want to be remembered as the Ghengis Khan of gingers.
>>487003483Norway and Finland are gonna have problems when Sweden inevitably crumbles.
>>487004039Ireland is more cucked than Britain, I also dream of this but the girls you’re imagining don’t exist. They’re like turbo whore tiktok addicted roasties in the US just with an Irish accent
>>487003964in my experience, polite and friendly rarely coexist
I'm going to be like Genghis Khan toward red haired 3D artist women who tap their chin with a finger and say "Thoughever", "Thougheverbeit", "Thoughforeverbeit", and "Thoughevertheless" when thinking of a problem.

>>487004613I was just thinking about these posts. I taught my girlfriend a couple of these words after reading this is the past few threads. Now she won't fucking stop saying it. It's become annoying already and I wish I'd never had this stupid idea. Be grateful of what you don't have.

>>487004936>annoyed by a girl saying thougheverbeitShe must be ugly, in my experience I found that the better looking a girl is the more retarded stuff she could do without me caring or getting annoyed
>>487004832I did use KH as a bit of reference for Nortubel like the world titles.But the idea of a "fake crossover" means I want to do more games to the point they look/play/feel different from each other, like they're different series somehow under the same "series".This also means that ideally, there can't really be a "fandom culture" where someone gets to love everything because of how different I want some things to feel.

>>487006510>Meifumado's devs were scammed by the man who was supposed to deliver them the money they got off of the kickstarter.

Almost all those reviews are most likely from keys given to the kickstarter backers, and so they made almost no money from those 85 reviews.

>>487007352>>487007670>>487008376>>487008790Anon be honest here. Are you some some 20yo toddler with no prior experience in any of this and no foundation to stand on and no past of impressive work ethic or are you actually coming in here with the qualifications to make it convincing that you're up to this? I've been in your place years ago but even then I was probably mountains above where you are now and I still wasn't equipped to do it
>>487009132The original question was>How hard would making a morrowind clone in unity be?>How did they make their assets and textures?If this is the stuff you're stuck on, ie. actually making a game, then focus on figuring that out first. Starting with lore before you even know if you can make the game you want to make is how you fall into the idea guy pit. I know writing and worldbuilding is fun, but don't let it become a distraction from the important stuff.
>>487009351I'm actually 28 years old and I'm a tad delusional at times. Idk man. I just like want to make game that's all.
>>487008493custom engine is going to always be more sovl than an off the shelf.
>>487009351literally an elder crab in the flesh. He's even using the 'kid' archetype in his speaking.Do not be crabbed. The elder crab probably started crabbing in the indie space.Make the fucking Morrowind game and don't listen to crabs.
>>487009621I was 23 when I landed here with my big ambitions but I had already become an emotionally numbed productivity machine and I had 10 years of technical and graphical software experience and most importantly a world that had 9 years of high quality work poured into it to stand on. What are you coming in here with?
>>487010041Rpg maker street cred D: and an awful work ethic.
>>487010041>>487009621Anon, don't let this guy's doubt transfer to you.You can do more with less experience. This isn't an RPG where a lvl 10 is always going to fail against a lvl 30. Stop getting tricked into this crab's crafted world.Make the Morrowind. Do not ask for permission.
>>487010041so what's your game?
>>487010240>>487009957>>487010240>>487010298Please do not lie to the anon. Skills can be learned and work ethic can be cultivated. I'm not denying that, but it's more difficult the older you are and even more difficult if you don't have at least some prior experience to draw from.But he doesn't even have any work put into the setting. Making a good world takes years. Even longer if you're not good at it. Morrowind had dozens of people working on it. If you don't at least have the world already figured out then yeah it's gonna be pretty much impossible

>>487010693no. there haven't been many agdg releases lately so the crabs have turned to crabbing random indie steam releases
>>487010934okay then why bring it up?
>>487009957Telling someone they're currently ill-equipped to do a job is not "crabbing". It's called being honest about the reality of the situation.
>>487010674I'm mongoldev, albeit some people might call me a shitter, I did legitimately wrote 6k pages of lore and did work on a few failed prototypes. I just want to make a Morrowind like game, that's all.
>>487009621I used to think like this too when I was first getting into gamedev. I'm sorry, but what you want to do is virtually impossible as a complete beginner. It might seem like it's possible when you see similar games made by a single person, or devlogs for similar games popping up on Youtube, but it really only seems that way from your perspective because of your shallow understanding of how games are made. I'm not trying to be rude, just stating the reality.Making a game like Morrowind (or any 3D game of the sort) is so much more than figuring out how to model and texture and make a character move with animations. For example, no beginner ever worries about having to figure out something like collisions because they don't even know what that is. This is the sort of stuff that filters even experienced programmers. On top of that, it's not just figuring out how to implement these things, but also possessing the knowledge to fix them when stuff goes wrong (and stuff will go wrong). Again, this is enough to filter experienced programmers, forget total beginners.>I'm a tad delusional at timesJust don't be delusional enough to think you're special and somehow capable of magically overcoming your inexperience. I can assure you that you aren't the first person to jump into game dev with those thoughts and you won't be the first one to fail either. I'm not going to tell you to give up completely, and I'm not going to tell you to make some basic shit like Pong either. Please just try to find a game that you can realistically make on your own with your current knowledge. Otherwise you're going to get frustrated and give up without ever producing anything.
>>487010795It's not a limiting belief. It's the harsh reality that this is an enormous amount of work and he can only do it in the perfect outcome where his learning process is the smoothest it can possibly; he dedicates every single hour of his waking life for the next 3 years to this just to get the foundation up; and he someone tricks 1-2 other people to help him out on it. It's not impossible just unrealistic. If I was him I would figure out some way to make a crapton of money first and then just pay other people to help me out on it
>>487007352Why not just make a mod for Morrowind? That's more doable than making the entire thing from scratch.
>>487011113I bend reality with Mark 11:23-24.
>>487011134>I did legitimately wrote 6k pages of loreAnd what lore it is.
>>487011270I went through a short "neo nazi" phase, but that's long over and way behind.
>>487011145You're talking to a retard who thinks he can make daggerfall dwarf fortress, but hasn't been able to produce what you'd get from a basic terrain tutorial after half a year of work.
Why are yall such downers? We should be supportive of each other. And like encourage one another to like make game.
>>487011270This is written at a 1st grade reading level. This wasn’t an adult right? Surely it can’t be
>>487011749Being too supportive is how we get absolute stinkers releasing here. If you really loved somebody you would tell them when they're failing.
>>487011749Honesty is better than hugbox. That being said I don’t support telling someone to give up or to not even try, that’s cringe. But I won’t tell someone their game is good if it isn’t, I will always encourage nodevs to become yesdevs though
>>487011504And who also spams the general constantly, every single day, with his retarded fantasies of having a red haired gf that says thoughever. And one single bible verse from Mark. Yellow cube anon is a blight on this thread and he should be rangebanned just like Fygoonigger.
>>487011749We strongly encourage people to try to make games, but we strongly discourage people from talking about wanting to make some game, and then never trying actually make it, because deep down, they know they can't make the game in their imagination and don't want to confront that reality with actual effort.
>>487011134Mongoldev I want to see you succeed and that's why I'm telling you: don't try making any kind of Morrowind games until you get Mongol into any kind of presentable playable state. You have already started a game. For some people that's the hardest part. If you can't make anything decent out of it then you are not ready
>>487011901>>487011410>>487011270>>487011134You generated 6K pages of AIslop, that's not the same as writing actual lore.

>>487012396I wrote them since 2015 and 16, and I have the original pdfs saved on Google drive with their respective dates, so keep seething nigger.
>>486999680bingo. Just like make game and do that through rapid prototyping. Make the most basic sloppy version of a feature you can and test it in game. Pretend you're doing a game jam limit yourself to, say, 48h per potential new feature. Overscoping is not that much of a problem if you're honest with yourself in answering "does this new feature add or subtract from my game?" Rapid prototyping will help prune bad ideas and polish the core concept of your game.
I am a perfectionist and will spend 3 days max trying to perfectly implement my ideal system.
>>487012619You know quality is better than quantity right? 6k pages of trash is still trash. Try starting fresh and keeping it under 5 pages but this time above a 1st grade reading level
>>487013101I am a successful dev so I will spend 2-3 hours implementing my system, knowing intuitively the pros and cons and tradeoffs of each method, and avoiding analysis paralysis that grinds most devs to a halt, and prevents them from ever releasing a game
>>487013114>quantityI'm all fairness, that was an older piece. I've got better stuff.

>>487015324>>487015445I've yet to implement it, I'm just writing down the general idea first and planning before implementation so I don't end up having to trial and error man than I should while also getting any insight from others.

>>487015693>>487016882oh nevermind.yeah, anon, you need to just write this code in 1-2 hours so you can test if it works. planning makes sense for things that take many days or weeks, not for things you can prototype in one day.

>>487016882>my gut tells me it's overengineeredIt probably is but my last implementation was like that but worked and then I was able to trim the unneeded fat from it and simplify it.>>487017118Yeah my implementation I threw together on a whim worked until when i decided to do a code/game review I noticed it was not behaving in a way that I wanted so here I am reworking it.>>487016914I'm sure by the time I get to all of that you will still be here crabbing and nodeving.
