>>503199638I'm adding to the scoring system. Once you reach a certain points threshold your belt (the one on the UI and the one your character is wearing) will change colour.white -> yellow ......... brown -> black etc.

I'M GONNA BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU
>>503198842where is Project Landsword?
Okay /agdg/, real talk now.When is using AI voice acting permissible?>When you have very little voicelines that are a collective 10 minutes worth of dialogue at mostOr>When you have over 2 hours worth of dialogue aloneThe "no voice acting/banjo kazoie" thing is not an option in this instance. What would you choose?
>>503201056AI is shit. Nothing else really changes that. It's just fucking garbage that's only good for the lols (memes). Doesn't matter if you hate artists, doesn't matter if you hate voice actors, doesn't matter if you think that AI will pull you out of your mom's basement. It doesn't change the reality that AI is garbage. If you're willing to live with that go for it, but you need a special kind of third worlder scammer brain to tolerate it for long.
>>503201056the correct answer is..I'll do whatever I want which the resources I have.
>>503201359This is just straight up seethe. If you have nothing worthwhile to add to the conversation, shut the fuck up or better yet die.
>>503201056>muh angry reviewthanks for the money retard
good morning
>>503201056Using AI voice acting as a placeholder for actual VA during development is good, because it makes for a comfortable stopgap.Using AI voice acting - using open source, freely available assets - to expand the variety of options you have for voice lines is acceptable.Using AI voice acting for localization is always permissable. That's already a headache.AIVO is one of the best uses of AI.
>>503201056AI is good when I use itAI is bad when you use itsimple asdon't care about other opinions
i genuinely believe music is the most important aspect of any game
>>503201876dummy
>>503198842all of them.
>>503198842My wives look so cute here>wivesYes I've claimed multiple;_; my game is probably not going to make it to demo day 60
>>503201359Always amusing to watch you out of touch people resist technology like in the 1990s teachers banning the internet in classrooms or 19th-century horse carriage drivers yelling at cars. You're not a smart person.
skipping DD60
>>503201056When you're making a meme game that is not meant to be taken seriously. When you have an android character.
Ugh another game found, it's close to an idea I've wanted to make. Seriously this gamedev scene popularity is making it really hard for me to make all my deeam games when literal whos are showing up out of nowhere with better skill and landing on the same type of game I want to make.
>>503201359Mental illness.
if you're struggling with stress or anxiety, listen to nature sounds
>>503201658>>503201990>>503202204you niggas ok?
There is an entire gaming sub-industry based on emotional manipulation, luring people into spending money for no gain.Where do I learn more about the mechanics of emotional manipulation?I want to make (or most likely copy) a game that will be genuinely fun to play, but I want to plant a seed into player's head so that at some point some "revelation" strikes them like a hammer. Just imagine that one moment you smile, enjoying the game, and a second later you suddenly feel that the world is a joyless place and you are wasting your time in front of a screen to numb yourself with no hope of ever achieving happiness — that's what I want to deliver.
>>503201056If you can make it sound good AI is fine otherwise contract someone or others. If your AI voice sounds like the typical AI voice found in some youtube videos than that is not a good idea.
>>503202148If someone made the game you want to make then your idea is complete shit. Nobody has ever come close to making a game I wanted to make. Even if they pick the same setting, same genre. Their game, and my game, are not even close at all. Why don't you have a unique vision that sets your game apart from others in the genre while following the rules of the overall genre.

>>503202349Post game.
>>503202383study evil skinnerbox type games like shartdew valley, balatro, luck be a landlord, slay the spire, diablo, gacha games, etc
>>503202383https://www.darkpattern.games/patterns.php
>>503202383Wow that's crazy.
It's fucking friday trannydevsisters! Gonna get some deving done this weekend for sure.
>>503201056Also ignore reviewers like that, they sound like voice actors who are simply butthurt. Makes it hard to tell if their complaint is legitimate or they got to the end credits, saw nothing for voices, and assumed it's AI and ran off to angrily type out that review. Just make sure if you use AI voice in your game that it sounds well and has the right emotion behind it. Unlike that one game Marnix played where the voices quickly became obvious on being AI with lack of emotion behind the talking.
>>503202526Retard.
>>503202383incremental games that give you easy progress until you're addicted, then slow the progress down to a halt until you spend a trivial amount of moneyrepeat this pattern, increasing the time skip cost at every slow phase of progress
>>503200163I really like the idea of visual feedback. Much like guitar heros combo feature. very nice.
im not feeling very good about my new project that i have written 2 lines of code for over the last 7 hours.
I miss the AGDG video game developer known as Tomo.
>>503202651>Unlike that one game Marnix played where the voices quickly became obvious on being AI with lack of emotion behind the talking.Game???????
>>503202630damn she looks tall, whats her @
Minecraft... Home
>>503201359>starts a long rantSo....you the voice actor in that review? As long as it looks good/sounds good I don't care. Just make sure it doesn't give the AI vibe and you should do well. Ive seen some with the AI vibe sell well regardless.>inb4 anon is also a hobby devWell at thst point your seethe makes no sense. It's a hobby in your view and if he's having fun or skipping stuff he doesn't want to do, what's the problem?>inb4 anon is a jobby devAnon is min maxxing his time to profit ratio while reducing potential AI cues to make it as natural sounding as possible, what's the problem?
>>503202630I need to add some characters like this to my game so beautiful people like that will cosplay them.
>>503201056This is Liar's Bar?Despite its sudden popularity, I didn't buy it or even wishlist it after the trailer. It just feels so soulless. The characters barely react and the voiceacting is so devoid of emotion.My biggest problem with Poker Night at the Inventory is that the characters often look devoid of emotion and just stare blankly at each other. However, by comparison, it is leagues ahead since when characters aren't just staring off into space, the voice acting carries it.

>>503202987at least it was until the world gen got all fucked up
>>503202435Burden of proof is on you, AItards. Show me your AI game that (You) made, not cherrypicking one of the ones that someone else already made, (You) made to show us that AI is worth it.

>>503204003Right, I'm sure it's multiple people freaking out about imaginary Indians every time AI is mentioned."Hey I kinda like AI for certain tasks"INDIAN! YOURE AN IDIAN HAHAHAHAYa thats' a rational mindset clearly shared by many. Fuck off

>blender isn't resetting the automatic weighting for the rig>even when I manually modify the vertices for each boneI learned a lot over this one week but I'm not gonna make it to the gamjam. Oh well. I'll just keep this pace moving forward. I think I'll be able to finish my main project if I keep this pace. For now I gotta rest, I was pulling an all nighter too.
>>503204895>what is a meme
>>503205007>i was acting retarded on purpose
Just make Caravaneer 3 you pretentious fucks. You don't even need to learn to draw anymore.

>>503180883How many "biomes" are you planning to add to your game? Think Ive only seen the city and the snow one being posted. Nice zoom effect though the inside of the mech feels empty. I think it needs more stuff btw.>>503204106Kek>>503204995Her nipples must be diamond hard and as strong as steel to not only pierce the concrete wall but to also hold her entire body weight even when she let go.

>>503206012But I want to learn to draw.

I need to make it so bad. I need enough money to make a new Total War series. That company has pissed me off for the last time with their shit mechanics. I can't stand how the series has gotten worse over a decade. Nothing is ever fixed, everything is made to be broken.

It used to be that every 5th or 6th post was an actual progress post, like TIGSources screenshot saturday thread, except it was everyday.Now it just seems like a hangout for the mentally ill, NGMI loser devs enshittifying what used to be a breeding ground for creativity. Moving forward I will only be posting 1 progress post a day because I have lost faith in this place. my 1 post will just be to keep myself honest and on track.Henceforth wishing upon all lolidevs insurmountable & irreversible negative vibes, reinforced with suicidal ideations.

should you pursue gamedev if you have a controversial past that people will inevitably dig up to cancel you?
>>503208958It's a dude (femboy).
>>503209438I don't know.
>>503204541>Eww whats with her skin?probably eats vegan or some dumb shit like that

>>503207634Ericschizo post. You're the absolute saddest and most pathetic person here, by the way.
>>503209438I have a youtube channel with 45k subs that I haven't touched in years. I'm tempted to turn into my devlog channel, but the problem is I used to upload webms I found on /wsg/ to it. A lot of those webms were extremely racist or antisemitic. They're all unlisted now, but I'm worried someone out there is going to remember if I ever associate myself with the channel. Some of them had 6 figure viewpoints, so that's a lot of people to worry about.
Wait... I hope you don't actually know who I am, /agdg/. Name my game, /agdg/, let's see if you know.
>>503210907I don't care about who you are that's why I browse ANONYMOUS communities
I have never wanted the week to be over this bad. My sleep has been fucked this week, I'm going to sleep as much as I can this weekend to catch up. Then it's back to the grind.

Hello. Is there any money to be made in the gaming landscape if I want to make a game that looks like Morrowind (aka complete shit, but 3d and first person)? The gameplay will also be complete shit (just like Morrowind) but the appeal is that its not about gameplay, its about being able to really affect the world on a big scale like Rimworld/Dwarf Fortress/etc
>>503198842The Great conclovince of Mithrithnogg. As soon as I get the hunger cannibalism system working.
>>503212408so essentially 3D Dwarf Fortress
>>503212408sorry, shit games (like Morrowind) don't sell anymore. try making a game like Balatro
I have only ever been treated as a punching bag or a tool. I hate everyone
>>503212673same
>>503212673i believe in youwith enough dedication and willpower you can do anything
>>503208101Ya, that's another whole issue that annoys me. Haven't played any of those games. I briefly looked into one, and one of the comments said something like if you pay for the full game you get less than a 3rd of the playable factions. I haven't verified that, but this franchise is fucked, so it wouldn't surprise me.>>503208958In my mind it's a woman. There are plenty of women who starved during their growth to have ribs like that. You see it in Asia.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2190150/The_Last_Humble_Bee/I expected this to get at least 10 reviews at launch
>>503213303what have you learned
>>503213303There's aspects about it I like. If I had to critique it I'd say it seems a bit confusing what the game actually is. Maybe it is to others. I don't know what a survivor like deck builder is that otherwise has real time combat. We basically only see one area in the preview. So I have no idea the scope, or really what it's about. But again I could just be old. Overall I mostly enjoy the art. I also wouldn't write "with heart" in the description. I the viewer, will determine if it has heart, you should not tell me that.
>>503213653That it's truly over for survivorlikes even if you try to innovate on the formula
>>503213303Your predictions on dungeon watchers?
>>503213918
>>503213918I was wrong on the bee's game because the demo was really fun but I'd say 30-40 reviews first month since he has a playerbase from newgrounds already and his tweets get some traction. It depends on the price, I hope it's 4.99$ max
>>503213303> cartoony survivors-like with a lot of heart> is literally soulless
>>503213303>action roguelike>deckbuilder>three upgrades in a row>pixelshit>manchild wholesome cartoony>survivorslike

Sorry for cobbe posting but I woke up 3 hours ago and this is my second cuppa already...
Anonches here told me that the reason I'm getting wishlists instead of sales is because my game is overpriced, and one Anonche said he's only buying stuff on the Autumn sale.My question is, should I hold out for the winter sale as I planned or should I enter the autumn sale? I can't enter both since you need to have a 30 day period with no discount after a discount.

suppose i need 30 unique enemy models for my game, is the only way to get that through "sweat of the brow"? I'm tired of looking for gimmicky shortcuts, but don't want to waste time if I don't have to.

zoomers literally CANNOT avoid bait. 99% of the the thread is replying to bait and avatarfags, who are literally 2% of the users of the general.
Should I work on two projects at the same time?
>>503228595no
>>503218854Okay, I have a serious question. Do you think I could get an artist to do the art for my game, UI, Backgrounds, character art, some animations etc for like $10,000?I'm planning on using mid journey to gen some more consistent art with a unified style and then pixelating it and removing the color with a simple sweep of a few filters. I'm going to need a lot of art so I definitely want an artist that can do quantity sketches over fiddling with each portrait for 80% more time investment.If I had to guess numbers I'd guess probably around 1500 portraits, 200 monsters, and idk how many display art scenes. I could up the money too but I think literally just completing the game with AI and then trying to get an artist on board might be a better option.
>>503228647looks kinda sharty
>>503228647Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
>>503228309Fygoon falseflag, last time he posted a screenshot with 1 star reviews and dirk wasn't there, also>fygoon>best dev>>503228068Why do you drag dirkdev into your schizoid episodes, faggoot?
Predict the dumpster fire. How bad will this one be?
>>503228292I make mediocre porn. No matter if I post it or not, you will make comments deriding me.Anyways, after spending so long studying the anatomy of naked women, that AI picture makes me think of a skinwalker.Hell, the "muscles" on either side of her body aren't even behaving consistently, in spite of being held within the same pose. Limb length is inconsistent too, one arm is longer than the other.

>>503229039I call that being based.
the issue isn't AI.the issue is faggots without art fundamentals pretending that AI default values can produce a better job than a human master.Is like me pretending I can BTFO spielberg if I buy an expensive camera.What will set apart your AI art from all the pajeet scammers and brazilians trying to scam gaymers by making showelware?
>>503229039>>503229104it was an april fools joke stupid chuds
>>503229039Someone not liking the game.
>>503228770I'll have to see i guess.>>503228838I know but maintaining a good art style is very important. Idk how much it's going to cost is the thing. I feel like most pixel artists favor cartoony stuff rather that AD&D style fantasy art. Ideally something like pic related would be great, though I think s limited color palette would be ideal.
>>503229139this. train a LORA on some public domain fantasy illustrations from the 1700s.
>>503218639What's wrong with 10 days? I wait 6 months for some things and that's fine because making a game takes years.As for whether that art is worth 1000-1500 euros... If it's commercial, sure. You could probably get it for cheaper but it's not much money in the first place.>>503228647You could reasonably ask $100 for 100 pieces = $10,000 as long as you don't expect them to be full illustrations. A->1700 pieces of work>$10,000So that's like $7 per image? For a COMMERCIAL work? You'd be paying your artist like $2 an hour. Unironically they'd rather be picking bananas or coffee.You can make it work if you heavily simplify the game's artstyle. Look at Baba is You, that could very easily fit within budget.
>>503228309>fagoon>best dev
>>503229139I'm definitely just trying to use it to make a game that is playable at all. I only want to make some money at all, my game isn't wide appeal enough to make a ton of money. I'd rather make a couple games quickly that are all unified in theme and style and then just find my small audience.
>>503201056anti-AI people are literal fucking NPCs man
>>503229427AI it is then. Because spending $100k on the game is a bad investment.
I always would have thought that Dirk and Fygoon would be on the same team
>>503201056Just use your own voice, you fucking pussy.
>>503229381>>503229531that's not what I mean.I mean, imagine you're a movie director, who has an entire movie budget and an entire studio to make what you want.The issue is that your ideas are based on pop media, you lack knowledge of tropes, of art history, of world history.Your ideas as an AI fag are garbage, because 100% sure AI fags only consume anime or comics goyslop.So your entire vision, ideas, concepts, are goyslop, and you can't even understand how to make it better than the default values an AI will give.Also, using a LORA doesn't help neither.Because you don't know how to go beyond the default values that AI has.

>>503229684That's the problem. You're better off choosing a simpler artstyle or scoping down your game than going with AI.
>>503229810>go beyond the default values that AI has.by using a LORA you get something outside the default. But I get what you mean, the issue remains since people won't even do that.
>>503230093Horbror actually likes my game. Can he say the same thing about your game? Oh wait...you don't even have a game.
wait a minute... is Marnix really farming this place for video material? Are we still the cutting edge of the industry?

Dirkdev is based. He simply makes game and posts progress and the game is soul. It might not look professional but it feels like someone earnestly tried to make it instead of just mashing a bunch of default 3D objects together and calling it a day.
Someone called me and asked if I'm still doing web dev because they need a website. I said no, I've been making games for the last 5 years. So I guess that makes me a full time gamedev? I should have accepted the webdev thing anyway, it would have been an easy $1000 or whatever prices are these days.
>>503228647>If I had to guess numbers I'd guess probably around 1500 portraits, 200 monsters, and idk how many display art scenesgo for AIif you have an RTX card you can even run it locally and not spend as much on MJlocal also allows you more flexibility with tons of plugins and LoRAsbest use of AI is not to generate directly but by using img2img to guide the image generation, like in pic related

>>503230509yes Dirk is a great game but what kind of a sicko would attack a fellow yesdev
>>503230509Kill yourself
>>503230570whoever drew that thing on the left, even if it's shoddy and lazy, looks like they have the potential to make artit's a shame they would use an AI tool to turn it into something Cris-tier like on the right.
>>503230480not me, I use AI all the time. but I laugh at people calling other people NPCs over the fact that they are mad they or their friends are losing their livelihoods
>>503229798Then retards like you would complain about "ESLs speaking english in disgusting esl accents".
Get real. Dirkdev is gone and she ain't coming back
>>503230868nta but I agree, the left is hiding his powerlevel. he could just use learn to use reference and could pull off some nice art.
Picking up, putting down and throwing now work. The object placement at the beginning of the pick up animation is fucked up, but other than that, works as intended. Now to make it so other players can be picked up.

>>503231297fygoondev
>>503230868Luddite detected. Right looks absolutely fine and you would agree if no one told you it was AI
>>503231079No, I actually do. People like you always complain about bad delivery and accents. You don't actually support those who can't pay for VAs and complain when they do something you don't like. There's no winning with your types.
>>503229524>storydoesn't matter>graphicsshit>internet personaabsolute dogshit1 star is not enough, you should be banned from using the internet altogether
>>503230875I can't find it. but the takeaway is how indiedevs think devlogs are marketing. if you are making a pirate game, show fun pirate stuff, don't show work in progress models or animations that don't show why people should want your game.appeal to the audience who is going to buy your game. if you are hoping for money that is, and not doing it for gamedev buddies.
>>503231393
>>503231434lol it's slop if you look at any detail for more that 1 second. making art is cool, if you can do it, it's rewarding.
>>503231297Shartgoon is a schizo but reviewbombing is subhuman behavior, death of the artist and all that. His game has nothing to do with his thread behavior, hell I don't like the fact that dirkdev is a reviewbomber but I wouldn't wish for his game to get reviewbombed, just cuntish twitter faggot behavior.
>>503231223is this a 3d body with a sprite head
>>503231802This. People who employ power bullying tactics like reviewbombing and reporting against regular hard working people are literal sociopathic parasites that would eat human flesh if it wasn't for the laws of human society
>>503231820Yes. The hair rotates kind of like Micky Mouse's ears, as well. It essentially, knowing what direction the head should be facing in 3D, swaps out the sprites to match, and rotates the head side to side to match as well. You can see the effect a little better in this .WEBM, showing off the attacks.
>>503231802>ShartgoonThat's a new one.
>>503231802Is your game reviewbombed? No? What makes you different from fygoon? Oh, you're not a toxic, annoying, avatarfagging commie with a megalomania complex? Maybe fygoon should just do that then?

>>503231652And how many voices can you do? 2, 3? Can you do a woman voices?
My game is going to have 410 different enemy encounters spread across like idk 4 to 6 different areas I think. And I guess I'll just recolor the enemies depending on their level.
NOT him but I can do 30+ voices (including some female)
>>503228594I agree they should be ignored. But they aren’t trolls. They are just unfunny retards. Every class in school had a kid who was cringe and annoyed everyone. They weren’t engaging in a troll. They just have poor taste, no humor, no redeeming qualities. Fucking losers.
>>503233063You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
>>503228647>yep I absolutely NEED 1500 portraits for my game, there's no way around it. No, I'm not going to make an open source game and have other people contribute. No I'm not going to release it in early access with only a couple and slowly build the game over the years.

>>503232531Well, I mean, you're not too far off. He is supposed to be a dumb idiot with a dopey expression. He is illiterate, as well, which means all the signs in the game will be "Uhh... I think this says 'Press B to yadda yadda yadda". Which will lead to some (hopefully) funny situations where you'll read something that you, the player, will be able to read, and what the character says upon interacting are two completely different things.

>>503234179portraits are not content if they are AI generated. what is made without effort is dismissed without effort.
>>503233812Sun Tzu said something like, a good general wins the war before even beginning to march his army. I feel a lot of indie devs should think about this. Pick a game to make that is fun, polished, with self contained fun game play. If your scope is so large that this becomes practically impossible you’ve lost the war before the first battle. So many games, even games here, never are able to be polished filled games. Because from the start there was no real plan. So we have a mish mash of features and awkward game play. Something simple and polished is better than feature rich and a total fucking mess.
>>503234179Are you the schizo who thinks "playtime" is the most important metric for a game? You think 1500 portraits are "content"? Lol.

>>503234832>pretending to be an American (thanksgiving) while posting with ESLismsrussobot confirmed
>>503234839Yeah, that's unironically some good inspiration. Some Hero Quest shit right there. Looks like Dungeon Quest even.It's unfortunately not easy to find artists because they're heavily in demand but paid prices below other professions, so the only people who become artists do it for the freedom it gives and out of passion and because it's a fucking pain trying to find artists to make exactly what you want.That's still not $7 of art but there'll be some Russian out there who's willing to at least try at that price. I've gotten art for about that price and had it been good, though that's non-commercial and there's no way the artist would do more than a few pieces at that price. If you can scope down the number of assets you need it's achievable.

>>503235183At the very least I can fill in AI art right now and then get a unified aesthetic and actually program out the game. I'm going to be taking copious notes as I go for the potential artist. I figure if I can lable files right, keep a strict set of rules for stuff, make sure I keep a doc of where every portrait is used and art so they can match region aesthetics and stuff. As well as a simple like three sentence description of each character. If I onboard an artist I want them to be able to literally know exactly what they need to know in order to just work and do everything.

>>503234832Imagine immigrating to another country for a better life just so your son grows up into this
>>503235873The main advantage of using placeholders here is that if you change the dimensions of the art, you don't then have to ask the artist to resize all of it, or account for extra changes (use of color being linked to card effects, art having icons above certain parts of it so it can't be seen, the artstyle in relation to UI and other stuff)You can make placeholders without AI but, sure, it doesn't matter what a game's alpha looks like. You sound a lot like Card Artisan dev who started out with AI but eventually hired some cheap artist. No idea how that went.The thing I'd say about AI art is that if you were the only person making a game with AI art, it'd sell superbly. The problem is everyone else is also doing that and now you're fighting to not look like 10,000 shitty soulless games that got bashed out in a third world country somewhere, so any artstyle at all will be an improvement, don't get comfy with the AI. The most powerful part of getting your own art will be consistency and the art actually fitting its purpose. If you have a card game and make a card that moves the character you can design a card that feels like that would be what it does just from its art. I have a horizontal movement card and I designed the art very horizontally, with colors related to the game's UI about movement, with related iconography.

>>503234537Why did indie devs suddenly need voice acting en-masse in their games after AI voice acting took off? They were just fine not having it not long ago.
>>503237129Because the standards keep rising higher and higher. Ten years ago you could release a 2d platformer and make it.

>>503237592yaaay
I regret releasing my game. I wasted $100 of cash and thousands of hours of time just to make the world a worse place.
>>503237223But you don't need voice acting if you're a zero-budget solo indie dev to make it.
>>503237592purchase page is weirdstill bought itcongrats!!
>>503234412I have a defined plan. I'm basically structuring the game in the same way I'd structure a tabletop campaign using the design principles outlined in the book Arbiter of Worlds. Though instead of a hex map I prefer point crawls. I feel like a lot of games do large scopes because they're unfocused like what you said. There's a reason I'm not including crafting, or fishing, or random mini games for skills like lickpicking and dialogue, or spellcrafting, or random generation, or anything like that. I'm actually going to use premade character selections instead of a character creation system as well even though that's pretty risky in my opinion.I'm entirely focused on a single player D&D sandbox that's isolated in a few adjacent regions, with several villains that operate on world clocks for their schemes. I'm staying within the 1-7 level range, and I'm leaning towards pregens so that the selected main character can have ties to the region and other characters that actually add diverse gameplay.

>>503239334what are you inspired by? >inb4 no response as usual
503239173Retarded fag loser
>>503239461I'm getting inspired by Cris
>>503239173
>>503227889That would make me very happy, yes.People would be understandably angry if a couple retards spent all day ranting about prehistoric amoebas in the blue archive general or something like that.This fucking general is almost always one of the first ones on this board but not because of actual gamedev activity, just because it's a cesspool. I'd take an actual amateur game dev general that is slow as fuck over this.I don't wish all the thread-ruining shitposters death or anything. I just wish they weren't allowed to be dickheads here and went somewhere else to do it.I've never ever seen a general that is this contaminated and unusable for this long. It's unbelievable. I WISH posts like mine chased away the annoying idiots, I wish that worked, but clearly it doesn't.The inevitable future in which all the actual amateur gamedevs spend their time in a discord server having a good time and helping each other while this general is only used by inhuman trash and cris does not make me happy in the slightest.

>>503239461Real life stuff.I've been trying lately to get into history.Looked a youtube playlist of the evolution of warfare.Then a bunch of mythology videos.Read the kylbablyon, the kabala and divine geometry by pacioli.My point is to go even before than XX century if you want the serious deal.XX century stuff is too corrupted by modern pop tropes and anime shit.You gotta seek like centuries old artists, novels, plays, music for fresh stuff.Look at art noveau, muncha is amazing and deserves more recognition.Grammar of ornament is an amazing book about stuff we have forgotten.Look at folk art, history, classical literature, philosophy, biology, botanics.That's the original fresh stuff your brain needs more than watching more tolkien rippoffs.
>>503239730Fret not, for the day in which I abandon this place for Discord shall never come.
>>503239429HE'S BACK
>>503239173Dingo is a bocchiposter too?
>>503233995Gotta say that despite the well made animations, this is the least appealing mc design I've ever seen from this place.Like negative appeal, as in I'd rather play as a grey placeholder cube.

>>503237592>>503239152>Definitely one of the best games herwoof
>>503240136and the result of this inspiration? cris you are in no place to lecture anons about inspirations.
>>503240136>cris studies "folk art, history, classical literature, philosophy, biology, botanics" (botany??)>learns absolutely nothing from any of it>in fact, he actually gets worse because his massive ego convinces him every stupid thing he does is AKSHUALLY just the same as fimblebert frungus from 1505
>>503233995I agree with this anon >>503240454Why did you choose to make your character look like Mario if he was a gay cartoon character from an early 2000s family channel show? Look at that stupid fucking haircut on him, it's the only notable feature and it sucks.
>>503240579Yeah, mods have really been making a positive impact on this thread lately.
>>503240579now we just need the lolinonces and the eric guy banned as well
>>503240136I said books. I didn't say which books. What makes you think I'm only reading fantasy and genre fiction? But I'll still say there's nothing wrong with actually inspired traditional fantasy. A lot of modern fantasy slop is just bad. It's a lack of experience and ideas, but it's also just heavily based on execution.The worst sort of games in my opinion tend to be inspired by other games. Pitches like "dwarf fortress but with rats." Or a tweaked oc version of a game people like, like dark souls or whatever instead of actually steming from design experience and having a vision. Also just a lack of iteration and refinement.
>>503240454Oh, you think my animations are well made? Thanks, anon!
>>503240454You sure about that?
>>503237592>>503238428brasileiro here, just bought the game with Pix. Proud to have left Dungeon Watchers feedback a few DDs ago, also
>>503241059I hope youre just rubberducking your doubts and not seriously replying to cris
>>503241112Looks like Phineas & Ferbs had a homosex baby, repulsive design. Smooth animation though.
>>503239429I like the mushroom discovering mechanic
To what extent are windows resource files used in gamedev? I'm guessing like, an embedded program icon would be about it.
>>503241624I think you can use it to embed assets into the executable to make a standalone but I'm not sure
>>503241790I'd probably just embed byte arrays in a header or something at that point.
>>503237592congrats bro
>>503241790i use them to do that
>>503233995B-but indiegames are supposed to be about depression and shit, man...
>>503241148I'm positive. Salaryman is similar to a grey cube. Lacking in appeal but I don't hate him. He doesn't look stupid and make me feel embarrassed.>>503241112Yes your skills are clear. Not happy to see it held back by bad character design but it looks like you've made up your mind.

>>503241112I'm gonna call John Kricfalusi on you.
>>503241320I haven't been here for a while and I don't know who Cris is. It looks like demo day 13 was when I was last here, it's been a bit.
-made every review as positive-soon will change the description format as most of games are not solodevs-updated list from the latest release on vercel websitecan the curator be added to the thread?https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39041835/
>>503240693You know, it's funny. Every time I post, either here on on /v/, inevitably, one anon will eventually post about how my design is bad, and then three minutes later, almost on the dot, someone else will insult it as well. I understand that my design is not for everyone, and there is probably more than one person out there who doesn't like it, but there appears to be one person, specifically, who REALLY doesn't like it, and likes to let people know over and over lol>>503242756Heh, that was a very clever way to say "same face". Yeah, John K. would probably not approve, but he would probably be too busy groping interns to care.
>>503198842I'm really trying to unshit my game, I'll be there if all goes well
>>503243068Cris has submit to most DDs since DD1
>>503243068Cris is our resident shitposter, not only is he talentless nodev, he's arrogant and rude. It's the latter two that make people hate him.
>>503237592>1 in-game after an hourIt's not looking good bros...
I wanna finally move from rpg maker to unity and I'm wondering if any of you know a good tutorial series I can watch on youtube to start?
>>503240136cris you're the poster with the most knowledge in /agdg/ but you need to finish something, just work on kaliina again
>>503243303>he would probably be too busy groping interns to carekekits very possible your game has a schizo, games on 4chan often have at least one
>>503243348I mainly remember googum and lolidev posting, maybe I just didn't know him though.

i did not worked on my game a whole week and i feel miserable now at least i'll work on it right now
>>503243662lolirapesim was literally just a enginedev troll he never intended to finish a game, not knowing cris is crazy he's been here since the beginning (no game)

>>503243959What're ya sellin'? stranger. why'd you put me in the game btw? you don't have permission to use my likeness
>>503244135No, they're a beef alternative (above meat instead of beyond meat)
Nodevs hate Cris because he's a talentless hack with a shitty personality just like they are. Subconsciously, they know that that's how they'll turn out if they ever made a serious attempt at JLMG, which is why they never will.
>>503244352whatever you say cris
>>503244231okay, and the plant material used is protien packed SUPERweed™ btw, google searching for "trademark text icon" caused my browser to have a seizure, I assume from the baked in AI search shit
>>503243851Lolidev wanted to release it initially but eventually got too burned out and started to shitpost with it.
>>503244562I didn't say plant based. I said beef alternativeit's cockroach meat
>>503243303No, schizo fag this is the first time I've posted about your design. I won't give your game any more engagement until you make a better character
>>503243552>with the most knowledge in /agdg/Anon, you need qualia to use "knowledge" and hylics lack it
>>503243959you know the 9mm tastes good because it's mm

>>503236495>new gameIt's the exact same game, just changed to work on Switch and other systems as well. (Game uses 4th wall breaking fuckery with Windows that don't work on other systems.)It's also only been one month.
>>503243363You are vastly underselling why we hate Cr*s. He's not only "arrogant and rude", he's an actually mentally ill lolcow who revels in negative attention, just like Chris-chan. He's not a shiposter, he means everything he posts and it's not funny at all.
>>503245424>he means everything he postssource on this?
>>503237592yay
>can't return two values from a single functionThanks godon't, I thought a high level language like gdscript would have that feature
>>503243851I've been here since 2015 and I haven't picked up on cris until at least 2019. Which makes sense, he was just another beginner back then, he didn't become the 10 years schizo of re-imagining workflows right away.
>>503243303It is still much better to receive honest criticism than being hugboxedI too think your design has negative appealAt the same time you have animator skill to surpass pizza towerYou just shoot yourself in the knee anon but its your choice after all
>>503245793return an arrayidk, I know GML only
That's it, I'm taking an art class. Anons in the last thread told me my art was holding my game back.
>>503237592breast expansion upgrade when? I need the flatty to get bigger tits as she pwns enemies, until she starts to slow down from how big they are....
>>503241059I admit I made a mistake by assuming you only read genre fiction, like 99% of fantasy fags.But you're correct in that a major issue with most people is that they never go beyond their niche.So their ideas never develop into original ones.
>>503245793Wrap it in a class(struct), dictionary, or array. Very very few languages support multiple returns.
>>503245424>he means everything he postsI'm not sure about that. I've seen him bait people into engaging with him by being coherent and then immediately reveal that he's cris by switching to incoherent nonsense after he gets a bite.
>>503245793I mean, you could put the values in an array, then return the array, and you would just reference the cell in the array that you want.Though that, I feel, is a workaround to a problem that shouldn't exist.
>>503245793dicts aren't typed so you could return a dict with the values you want mapped to like 1 and 2
>>503243959The auto cursor when looking at the screen is sick
>>503245424I don't hate Cris. Sure, he's an attention-seeking lost cause, but at least he works on games and gamedev adjacent skills. All his posts here are on-topic, which is much better than the vast majority of posters here.
>>503245793you can return a vector2, vector2i, vector3, vector3i, color8.
>>503246284How do you know when it's Cris? What is his game?
>>503245424Sure you do, Cris.
>>503245649>>503246130I don't think he'd be shitting up the place for years if it was just for shits and giggles, but it becomes even worse if that's the case. Actual psychopath behavior (ASPD), my dear my pear.>WAVY X

>>503247317okay Cris, I'll humor you.what workflow
it sucks being the only girl who posts here
>>503247136Sorry, i meant 2.5, i was thinking of kf1
>>503247504You need to get better at identifying Cris impostors. Cris never responds to bait or conversations about himself.
>>503245926It is, I agree. I also don't think I can do much better, art wise, and I am a solodev with a full time job, 3 kids and a mortgage, who works on this for about 2 hours a night.I am a good animator, but I cannot character designer, and I'm almost entirely self taught for drawing. I agree that it's not good to be hugboxed, but I also don't think I'm going to be able to do much about the issue.I will, though, include an editor for the face in the final build, where you can upload your own images to use into the game. So, if you so desire, you can make the character be Mario, Sonic, Laura Croft, a big ol' dick head, or whatever. The game is also going to be online, and I HOPEFULLY will have a way to share your heads online, so you can just download someone else's. I hope you'll consider my game, then.
>>503247242>no getters and settersoh no no nogodot sisters it's over

>>503247727only thing is wrong with this game is the ugly fonts
>>503247504I'm tracing photos of celebrities and learning their proportions so that my characters have broader appeal. I can use the proportions of the highest earners to increase the earnings of my own games and VNs.I'm not cris, I'm merely pretending as an example of how to identify cris.

>>503246851why are those spikes covered in fecal matter
>>503245756I always been curious when I see this sort of animation style. What causes the jittery line affect? Do you just draw the same imagine multiple times and the natural deviations in line quality causes it to look like it's moving? How many frames do you need to not make it look like a flickering mess?
>>503247727I don't mind the character, but don't love it. could you hire a character designer who makes characters people love? I know as a solo dev and artist it feels wrong to hire another artist but you've got kids to feed and a mortgage. it would be an investment into your game, giving it a better shot.
>>503247727Good thing you understand thatYou need to know that to gain initial audience including modders, you have to attract a critical mass firstAnd the character is the face of a 3d platformer and probably the morst important thing on pair with the movementSo by any mean get a new characters, if you need to spend a fucking month designing him DO IT, it will be the best time investment for your gameIterate on it and interact with the thread, local artchads will help you Im sure
>>503248875Normally you would redraw it to give the effect, about 3 times. It's called "line boil".But I cheated, and drew it with https://internet-janitor.itch.io/wigglypaint
>>503248875>I always been curious when I see this sort of animation style. What causes the jittery line affect? Do you just draw the same imagine multiple times and the natural deviations in line quality causes it to look like it's moving?NTA but, yep>How many frames do you need to not make it look like a flickering mess?depends on the framerate/total number of frames per second. Try something slower, like 24 fps but animated on 2s (each frame is held for 2 seconds, unless its an action frame or something)
>>503248918The major part of it is that I want to not spend money. The minor part of it that I could probably get over is that I want to make a video game. I want to make one that I would love, and I want to make it by myself. If I die a poor man or if it makes me rich, I don't know. I want to be able to say I made a video game, wholesale.I know that's foolish, but I dunno. It's "me.">>503249254I will probably redesign the head at some point, but the body is going to stay the same. I DO NOT want to reanimate it ha ha ha. Been throwing around an idea to give it a bigger 1930's cartoon appeal, taking queues from old Micky Mouse and Felix the Cat cartoons.
>>503249657>I want to be able to say I made a video game, wholesale.I know that's foolish, but I dunno. It's "me."I respect that. it's the same for me. it couldn't hurt to ask some pros for some design advice. the felix the cat idea is probably good though.

>>503250773>would you want to collab with Fortnite?Not really. I'd agree if they gave me money but it's really because I like money not because I like the idea of collabing with Fortnite.
>>503250773Not really. I'd agree if they gave me money but it's really because I like money not because I like the idea of collabing with Fortnite.

>>503250773Bro is coping hard. If Stardew had any iconic characters, then they would've been in Fortnite by now. But his character designs are simply too generic.
>>503251587Honest answer, I don't pay enough attention to threads to recognize schizos
What should I do if I know my game's art is bad but don't know exactly what's bad about it? Should I just copy the art from games with good art?

>>503253673
>>503253792*improve
>>503253865Just an observation. People seem to care more about devs than their games around these parts lately. It wasn't like this before.
>>503253587Shovelware has always been a thing and sturgeon's law applies
>>503253856You don't need to know video game history to make good games tho. Just like you don't need to know art history to make good art. All you need is the techniques, not information about who starved in what period.
>>503253856Newtonian physics is still relevant to today's physics models. The video game market from several decades ago is not at all relevant to the market today.
>>503253998devs didn't use to be this obnoxious, remember googum? he would just be an average poster now
>>503253856that was what I was thinking. wtf everybody know about that shit. the ET landfill etc
>>503254048What's the relevance of your comment? Guy says something retarded because he's ignorant, you go on to say "well it's okay he can still make games." He still speaks openly and confidently about things he's ignorant of, that makes him a jackass, and makes him look retarded, which he is.
Let's be real honest here: Eric Barone is a talentless nepobaby who's propped up by media outlets and Microsoft, he's the equivalent of an industry plant in music or Elon Musk in tech.Is it fine to be an Elon Musk fanboy? Is it fine to be a Kpop stan? Maybe, but you shouldn't piss your pants when you're reminded of what those people are in a thread for hobbyists, you have to remember that this thread is about creating SOVL, not industry behemoths making slop.I think we should focus on /agdg/ devs instead of looking at (almost) billionaire devs and whatever the fuck is going on with them, there are many /agdg/ games that could use your attention and feedback.
>>503254779goooood morning sir
>>503254779have you tried making a good game instead
Can hobbyropers please go make their own thread?
>>503252325>hateI'm just ignored now. The histrionic posters either blocked me or gave up on trying to chase me out.>>503228595No, but you'll probably do it anyway. It's a disease. Just remember to fight the urge when you can.>>503247590Congrats on the (you) farm.
>>503254641I was just pointing out that your analogy is flawed and why he is not considered a "fraud". Yes you can be ignorant of video game history or a total jackass and still make good games.
>>503255001>why are hobbyists posting in the amateur game development general

>>503255474You tell me.
>>503255148This guy makes games? I only know of him as an outspoken youtuber who knows nothing about the games industry who portrays himself as being fucking retarded.
>>503255198There is not a single "amateur" community for any "hobby" that actively discourages its members from improving. You are a lazy piece of shit and you are coping and gaslighting yourself into thinking you don't need to work harder and do better. You are not welcome here.
>>503255474He's literally yanderedev with a bit more talent
>>503255746this post makes zero sense
>>503255375if you didn't grow up hungry on a dirt floor then you're a nepobaby
>>503255148I made the analogy, not the anon you're replying to. Fine, maybe a better analogy would be a physicist who knows quantum mechanics but not the story of the quantum revolution in the 1920s. You still look like an idiot to claim to be an expert but not know the basic history.
>>503255375Nepotism is the act of hiring family and friends instead of other equally qualified or perhaps more qualified people. Nepobaby means he's accusing someone of being given an easy ride, insinuating that they haven't struggled or fought like other people.

How do I make a game that kids would enjoy?
>>503259067Punishment is how you discourage, dissuade, and hold back players. You want to force a pace and stop overextension, punish players for breaking pace and overextending. Simple shit like "delaying stamina recharge upon depletion" can have great effect on the player's mobility. Resource attrition, like making it difficult to pass an area without grabbing health packs along the way, and positioning the health packs in such a way that it limits the freedom the player has in progressing through the level. The "sit down" mechanic is a direct punishment for performance, like in Left4Dead where the director will spawn more zombies in more inconvenient places if you're moving quickly and not taking hits. Narrative pacing works for some games, won't fit everywhere, but forcing the player to engage in dialogue sequences and specific minor interactions (like the conversations in Elder Scrolls/Fallout/Mass Effect/etc) can help contain their ability to ignore, spam, and sprint their way through. Signposting can be helpful, something that informs the player that they're making it hard on themselves, like a shift in the music if they're moving through a level too quickly hinting that the enemy difficulty is increasing or whatever. You can also reward players for consistent and measured play, making it "worth it" to find all the extra items, look for the secret room, kill enemies rather than skipping by them, etc. Not gonna ignore the low-level baddies in Doom Eternal because killing them is how you heal, can't skip straight to the Elite Four because you MUST traverse the whole fucking map in a roundabout way first, can't just ignore your ammo in Resident Evil 4 and pretend it's all gonna be fine, and you won't get through Skyrim without "you're finally awake" and "so, you were at Helgen?"

stop deleting, gang stalkers
So why is it that you need to uyse delta time when modifying position and speed but not when setting either a specific value?Is it because say, setting a position, is an instantaneous teleportation?
>>503262191by the way, why does no one mention Bug Fables when talking about /agdg/ sucess stories?They posted constant progress when they were making it.That and Monolith/Star of Providence (The best roguelite around, don't argue with me)
>enjoy coding>hate testing>the longer I code without testing, the worse testing will beIt's all so tiresome
>>503262514Because they left this schizo den before release. Crazy stalkers like Eric schizo are driving yesdevs away.
>>503262595look at it this way: when you eventually test, you will find so many bugs that you will be able to code for a long time fixing them.
>>503262595automatic tests are a thing
>>503262156>cris claims to be improving and actually is improvingwho knew using the industry standard technique could work this well?
>>503253093memes aside, is it worth listening to at 2x speed?

>>503262925No, there's nothing of value there.

>>503264449>spend 2 hours studying how different armour pieces are attached and how they actually work>time spent modeling: 10 minutespeople vastly overestimate how easy yesdevving is.
>>503264449you need to learn the wonderful concept of corrective blend shapes.I eventually figure out I can basically rig the nose, and the cheeks to separate bones, and then create a profile animation and 3/4 animation on the face.Then just create a separate animation tree that blends those animations based on player angle towards the camera.Gotta be creative with your tools, anon.
>>503264449I studied breast bouncing frame data for a few hours to understand them better for my animations
Today I remind them.
>>503264449For future reference one easier way to do this is generally to add in blendshapes like this that shrink parts of the mesh, then conditionally activate them based on the item equipped.

Current project is going well, added a game over thing with win conditions. Basically what is left is:>Adding a limit to doing stuff at certain times instead of it being mostly unlimited>Adding some functionality for gaining gold per turn>Adding a way to spend gold with some UI>Replacing the main models with something better>Adding sound effects and music>Smaller effects for stuff like birds>Importing a massive amount of stuff from another project and changing some small things>Creating a custom main menu>LocalizationI'd say most of it is done at this point. Still a bit to go in my opinion, but a majority of the backend stuff with the debugging is done, it's more so adding some stuff and making sure it doesn't break what is already there
