Are you using the real world as an inspiration for your characters? For example, one of the villains in my game is inspired by this very wise jewish man.

>>503213303Only 4 reviews while being this high effort. This is the kinda game where the dev typically gives up right? Who would pour this much effort in and go>hahaha it's just a hobby I'm not sad, the goal was 1 person to play my 5 years in development hobby project where I ended up quitting my job a year ago because I sure love this hobby! It sure is amazing someone out there is playing my game!This is very grim. The bar is simply too high now. It saddens me since I'm almost always too late or if I'm early, then something happens that screws me over. I could've been rich off crypto but nope, I got screwed over by KYC laws. I could've been rich off stocks but nope, I was still a novice at handling success and failure at the time. I could've been rich off gamedev but nope, I threw the thought out 20 years ago and didn't try until late 2010 when the bar was still low but by the time I'd have something done it had exponentially rose to levels requiring 2000-2010 AAA standards outside of the outliers. *long sigh* I'm so, so tired. When do I catch a break to be free of the wagecage? I was hoping to make a few more games after my current game is done but now I'm not sure how many I'd even consider should I reach that point. I screwed up again. There goes several years of my life, again. I just want to be able to sit back and relax. Pick up a video game and not be worried that I should be developing a game to escape the wagecage. Knowing I have to be in that cage 4 or 5 days a week for potentially decades puts a big damper on my mood and prevents being able to relax and just have fun.

By the way Jonathan Blow is bullshitting on how it's though time for indie games. No. He's projecting his own failure. There are tons of successful indie games being released. He started a massive project and he needs lots of money. When he can't find that kind of money he thinks times are hard. No bitch, you're not an indie anymore, you're running a big project with a well paid team. He's become delusional.
>>503337884The fact that this are release day numbers is fucking grim, this is our future
>>503338382
>>503337884>>503338382No you stupid niggers. This is YOUR future. No one forced you to make mobile-tier slop. You were warned about this but you didn't listen over the sound of a bunch of retarded out of touch morons jerking you off during demo day. You should have been making games with substance. You didn't. Now you get what you fucking deserve

>>503338382Yeah that very bad. In all likelihood this would be a massive humiliation. Spending years on a game where you put in a lot of effort only to get less than a week enduring the Walmart dance at a state where you get paid well enough.

>>503339828I've been trying shit for ages now. pic related is my work the one area I struggle with still is doing creatures, people etc that require actual texture work more complicated than a tree or a rock since I can't draw or make my own textures, I have to rely on ones that already exist or photobash, but certain stuff I just can't find good textures for. finding textures for a pigeon or a cat is doable, but it's not as easy for something that doesn't exist

over the course of making my game I have kind of come to hate gamers. obviously, when you make a game it should be the kind of game you want to play, but of course you want others to appreciate it too. but things like "quality of life" have fried gamer brains to the extent that they're mostly ignorant about everything these days. for example, stalker 2 has an encumbrance mechanic, and it doesn't just exist for the sake of realism, it also balances the game, makes it so the economy remains mostly harsh throughout your playthrough and you can't just lootgoblin yourself to riches in a short time by just picking up everything. but we live in a time now where none of these things are being considered by most people, when they judge games. instead this is simply considered an "outdated mechanic" today. ironically, but gamers are also mindless cattle so depending on the framing, they don't even notice when certain inventory restrictions work in the same way, but actually have less of a purpose. for example the inventory systems of arpgs. except in those games these systems don't serve any function, so people gloss over it since it doesn't really create friction (which just makes it even more meaningless btw, so that should be the instance in which people question a mechanic, not when it actually creates friction), since you can just tp back to town whenever.whatever /blog
>>503342326>>503342502it's the fact that I need to find a texture spread out like this. using AI it's hard enough to get it to just put out a decent forward-facing close-up texture without also looking like shit
>>503339645AI is basically just a search engine but with sloppified results. If you can't find it via google search then AI isn't going to give it to you either.

Hello aggies, I hope you are all doing fine.Last weekend it was the first time I showed my game at a local game convention/fest and I wanted to share some of my experience. I've got to say it was really nice for me.My game performed quite well with people of all ages, surprisingly for me, many little kids and women enjoyed the game a lot, many playing it more than once and telling me it's addictive. Some even liking the game so much that they would play it around in the morning and then come back later during the day to play it again, their parents would say something like "My son loved your game! So he wanted to play it again!" which was super nice to hear.The kid playing in pic related for example got obsessed with the game so much that he became the top KKD player at the venue, reaching above level 40 with practice.Aside from that, my OCs brought me a lot of attention, I got a ton of positive comments about the art and characters alone, some people even asked me if the standees were on sale or if there were any other merch for sale.One fun anecdote is that on the first day (the event lasted 3 days) a japanese lady was walking around the expo and saw my game and was absolutely impressed with the whole project. We talked for a while and she told me to contact her so she could help me out with the project as it looked very marketeable.>game: japan>basedjak.pngIt's a lot of work to show your game IRL like this, but at least for me the playtesting and the networking you get out of it is worth it. Met some publishers as well so we'll see how that goes.Now I'm back to real devvin' again. Keep at it laddies.
>>503347007How would you react if someone called you a brainrotted gooner pedophile IRL? I'm surprised no one did.
What the hell is happening, I've gotten a regular night of sleep but suddenly I've closed my eyes for a moment and the fallen asleep for like 2 hours on my desk twice today already, that's never happened even once in my life before
>>503347007There's so much GMI energy radiating from this post that for a brief moment I was convinced I too can make it. Seeing people enjoy your game so much that they keep coming back to play it again must be such a great feeling. I'm glad you had a good time, I hope that Japanese lady helps you out.
>>503347380Welcome to the 30's.

Gonna make my breakfast and coffee. I think I'm going to have eggs but I don't have any bread to go with it, which is a shame. I like to have toast with my eggs. I'm getting groceries today though so I'll have bread for tomorrow.
>>503348359I'm not sure, on one hand being thanked for being born is pretty good, on the other that was just an online message whereas his interaction was in person. Maybe we can get cute Japanese girls to thank us for our games in person somehow.

I'm not sure what is the technical term, but anyone have any good resources on "whisker-based" navigation for AI to handle obstacles and other agents? as opposed for traditional pathfinding
>>503348886I understand your point and I agree to be honest. But the fact is you don't want to listen to the feedback, you watch the reactions and what they do with your game. If people come back to play it again that's a positive, if someone plays the game non-stop until they become an "expert" at it that is a positive as well.
>>503348886Sure the guy that played nonstop until he reached level 40 did so just "to be nice" LMAO

>>503349524I have no experience in this field sadly.
>>503348886You're not being honest. You're a generic dead end who's too lazy to even come up with realistic bait posts, so instead you just spam the same 4 buzzwords (reddit, tranny, slop, soulless) and provide nothing or substance because you lack the attention span to write something more convincing. Here's another (You) to feed your dopamine addiction to ensure you keep wasting your time in these threads, making failed attempts to crab actual devs when you should be working on your game that doesn't and will never exist.

>>503350016yes, angle plus distance defines a 'cone' with a round end like this c>
I bought this game because the author posted on 4chan from time to time, but unfortunately it's kind of bad.Holy shit, there's some potential, it could be a good game, but there are so many little things wrong with it that make the experience unenjoyable. From the bad sound effects to the level design that doesn't decide whether it wants to be a traditional experience or a “kaizo”, everything gets on your nerves as you play.The suitcase powers are all pretty bad to use and the explosive suitcase having to be manually canceled before it can be used again makes using it totally awful. The tricks with the suitcases are all slow and bad too, they should be items that add an element of technique and excitement to the gameplay but they're just bad.The 4 bosses I've faced so far are all awful and should be severely reworked.The checkpoint system doesn't work, every modern Mario World romhack removes all the pointless waiting that Nintendo loves to put in its games, but this game made from scratch has a lot of slow transitions and a checkpoint system that isn't in tune with what the game is demanding of the player.The theme doesn't make any sense. You're a salaried worker who has to go to work every day, but you're basically in Super Mario universe without any reference to anything in the real world most of the time, except for fax machines that for some reason are there for you to enter inside them. And why does the main character look like a caricature of Iwata? Is the game trying to tell me that this is the imagination of a game designer when he goes to work? And the idea of taking the bus is a bit retarded, this guy has to make 4 transfers to get to work.I wanted to recommend this game on Steam to help the dev, but I can't. This game needs to go back to the drawing board and be largely redone, have the sound effects replaced with ones that sound better to the ears, have all the level design redone, have all the bosses reworked, etc.
>>503350178where does the round end come into this
>>503350239that's crazy
Finished my eggs, but the coffee's still way too hot to drink. I made a kinda fucked up attempt at an omelet with 4 eggs and butter. It tasted good but had zero eye appeal.
>>503350083Then why shouldn't I talk about the Japanese lady?
>>503350246because distance defines a sphere, then angle defines a piece of the sphere the based of the comes is round
>>503350347but an angle is a single number, a cone has two sides, thats two angles
>>503350239you have been obsessed about this game for weeks and the dev isn't even an aggy dagger. keep your drama to /v/
>>503350239that's all every nice, but you forgot that game's lynchpin:Shi (死) Means death.You've been defeated.

>>503350515Lol, this is the first time I've posted about the game, which I played for the first time yesterday. I posted it here instead of on Steam in the hope that the dev will read it and understand some of the game's problems, because if I post this on Steam I'll end up hindering its sales.>keep your drama to /v/If you think this kind of thing is “drama”, never release your game and stay in your bubble with your friends sucking each other's balls because you're simply not prepared to have your work judged by others.

>>503352168ESL-kun... Please do the needful and redeem the Duolingo until you at least have the reading comprehension of a fourth grader.I'm saying these people are quick to adopt any trend as long as they think it's some sort of obscure, niche interest. Unbeknownst to them it's already widely popular, they just haven't encountered anyone else who likes said trend because they've only just discovered it.

I am once again asking for recommendations for third world countries I could move to and live off of my meager game dev income. My current top picks:>TurkeyProbably the best option, but I've heard the cost of living numbers you'll see online are misleading. Apparently living in any of the urban areas is actually pretty expensive and the national average income/monthly expenses stats are brought down by widespread poverty in the east. Still, it's less than living in America and seems relatively safe.>BrazilCons are obviously how unsafe it is, plus I'd have to learn Portuguese. Ideally I'd like to move somewhere where I can get by with only English as I gradually learn the local language, but in Brazil it seems like if you don't speak Portuguese you're going to have a bad time. I'm also white so the chances of me sticking out in a crowd and getting targeted by robbers is very high. Still, it seems like a nice place if you can manage to acclimate yourself.>PolandAgain, I'd probably need to learn a new language. Google says 30-50% of Poles speak English, but from my experiences going to Spain and Portugal those fluency numbers are never true. From what I've read online most of the cities if Poland seem pretty safe, plus I'd be in eastern Europe so it would be easy to take a train somewhere else for a day whenever I'm seeking an escape from Poland (which will likely be quite often).>SingaporeNot a huge fan, but I've heard it's possible to live very cheaply here if you try. Plus the obvious benefit of being able to speak English. It gets hot and humid as fuck though in the summer, which I'm not a big fan of.Any other recommendations?
>>503354802not gamedev
>>503354802what's your game?
>>503354351Alright. That definitely sounds like more of an option. Right now my plans are>Use one of the styles to make placeholder art and get demo ready for demo day>Print out the art so each square fits in 3 inch by 3 inch squares.>Trace the art using a light box using consistent micron pens and following a style guide to keep things more consistent >Scan and upload>Darken and filter them again to see if that improves things since then they're all using the same strokes/widths etc

>>503352743Oh.Well yeah, normalfags fucking suck. they literally do nothing besides flooding/spamming low quality posts. That's all they do. Spam bad takes and derail any real discussion with their need for validation. It didn't occur to you that contrarians like games but hate normies? Unsurprising.As a rule, contrarians generally think, if normies like it, there's something wrong with it. Also keep in mind contrarians generally have refined tastes compared to normies, not "better" taste, but tastes refined through years of social ostracization, social aversion, reflection, introspection, etc. Normies cannot think for themselves, at all.It only makes sense a hyperfixated no-life media autist to be frustrated with a surface-level dabbler normal person who has alternative sources of satisfaction, like, being a happy-go-lucky normalfag. when normies don't know something or don't get what they want they behave like disgruntled customers and expect everyone around them to service them. They lack initiative, and the ability to act autonomously.>this game is normie bait must be something wrong with it, let's find it.>*hundreds of arbitrary nitpicks later*It's like flies and moldy/rotten food. Don't eat that. It's not the game's fault, it's the impending normalfag incursion going to make any discussion completely and utterly retarded.>*spams ecelebgrifter opinions*>spoonfeed me! stop gatekeeping!>*spams porn and ERP and LGBTgrifter slop*

It doesn't make sense to spend considerably more time drawing way worse results. You're getting literal stick figures otherwise.
Any slavoids ITT right now? How would you feel about an American making a game set in an environment that takes most of it's design queues from the urban hell that is Russian/post-Soviet cities? The game wouldn't actually be set in eastern Europe, it would just closely resemble it. Sort of like what Half Life 2 did with City 17. Would you feel like your culture is being appropriated by someone who's never experienced what it's like to live in such a place?

>>503356062By the way, if you're a US citizen, realize that the IRS will be on your ass forever. You owe an expat tax even if you don't live in the US (no other relevant country does this to their citizens). This is on top of any local taxes. What is exactly the plan? You get a foreign bank account and file for bankruptcy in the US? You don't have a car or anything?

>>503354802Protip: You're never going to integrate properly into any country you move to. They're always going to think of you as an outsider whether you speak the language or not.

>>503360315You can for a very small tech demo sized game, but there aren't enough good assets to fill out the massive game that is PoE, not to mention the manhours needed to assemble all those assets into levels. PoE2 is supposed to release with 6 acts, with probably 15-20 maps each = ~100 different environment sets.
>>503360882transcoded post
>>503360132I think it would have been a lot cooler if they had managed to do it as a PoE1 update like they originally said they would. PoE2 was an escape hatch where they couldn't fix all the broken shit that piled up over time. And the fact that they couldn't come up with any new mechanics in time for release is kind of embarrassing. But it is impressive that even as a generator-spender rollslop game, it's undeniably going to be better than Diablo 4. I think GGG only looks so good because Blizzard fucks up so much with so many more resources.

>>503360315>t. brainrotYeah you can assemble a generic fantasy camp and a few zones with assets. What you can't have with assets are the dozens of unique monsters and bosses, hundreds of animations, all character models with equippable item graphics, visual effects, sound effects, voice acting, cutscenes, writing, custom realtime global illumination, various procedural generation algorithms and probably a bunch of stuff I'm not thinking of right now.So yeah you could make 1% of PoE2 in Unreal assets.

Considering that my game completely failed and nobody (and I really mean nobody) knows about it.... I could literally stealing any copyrighted song and put it in my game and fucking nobody would notice. Valve doesn't check updates so they don't give a shit either.
never project hop, it's a complete waste of time. if you're a solodev it's really best to stick to one thing and slowly improve it>t. former chronic project hopper.
>>503363245then you will make money, and then you will lose it all once they see you made money.
>>503363281You first have to discover that project worth holding onto tho.
>>503363104Well this looks extremely unappealing, I am officially not a pedophile I was always scared to one day become one, this and randomly becoming schizophrenic or getting dementia are things I fear a lot. I hope I keep working on games till I die without losing cognition.
>>503362643Because 1) Lumen offers faster iteration time with realtime lighting2) Lumen has realtime reflections which are cool3) Baking takes forever4) Baking lighting for a large open world map with time of day is impossible
>>503363281You say that because you haven't project hopped enough yet, and you're expecting to be able to produced a commercially viable game in a much smaller timeframe than what is actually reasonable.
>>503363380My game is a total failure, nobody bought it. How will they find out if nobody cares?

The gamedev renaissance hasnt happened yet and here's why.Remember when gamedev doubters would say that you'd be better off being a code monkey than a gamedev if you cared about money? Well where are those code monkeys now? That's right they're outsourced and out of a job.AI taking over means that there'll be more people with time on their hands for better or worse. These people need to be stimulated and to escape the harsh reality that they live in.This is where the gamedev renaissance era starts. The demand for that stimulation only provided through porn and games (or both) will increase exponentially. The ones who stuck out and honed their GAMEDEV SKILLS will be rewarded handsomely. You have to think about this LONG TERM and never give up!

>>503367514If there's one thing I've learned from the real pros, it's that there are only 4 races in videogames. Look at the NPCs in the Hitman series, they've got Indians, Mexicans, Portuguese, Arabs, Pakistanis, Americans, French, British, Dutch, Germans, Swedes, Slavs, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, how many character models? 8 NPC character models, male and female variants of White, Black, Brown, and Asian. Every non-unique NPC in the whole series is either White, Black, Brown, or Asian. The Mexicans, Arabs, Indians, etc, all the same "NPC_BROWN_MALE" or "NPC_BROWN_FEMALE". All that changes is clothes and the voice acting.

Ok, my decision to be a gamedev full time is undoubtedly a stupid idea but it looks like steady employment isn't such a safe option as it once was.All any of us need to do is make one good game, because good games don't flop. After your game makes it, don't be a Jblow and instead invest the money in something safe that will generate passive income. Fuck wageslaving for ungrateful employers.

Tricky madness just reached 100 reviews, still in top 3k selling which is really not bad. (1.5 sold copies according to my tracker)Dungeon Watchers only got 6 reviews day 1, started in top 8k which is pretty bad.Afterlife Gladiator had the worst launch of all three of them with 4 reviews, around 100 copies sold according to my tracker.

>>503377645I'm not saying he failed moron. I'm saying that in order to have even a modicum of "success" you need to invest shitloads of money into it. It's no wonder no aggy tried to market. Shit's more expensive than a car.

I regret releasing my game. It turned out bad. Worst of all recent agdg games even. But on the other hand, you can't actually know if a game is good or not until after it releases.
>work really hard on game for months>finish it finally>feel sense of accomplishment>that feeling fades after a few weeks>don't really care if anyone plays it>in fact i hope they don't, since it's not that great>don't want to bother shilling it or releasing it on steam, i doubt anyone would really buy it anyway>it will probably end up just another forgotten demo on itch with less than 50 downloads >the emptiness inside is too profound to expressThere is an idea of a Yesdev. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can reply to my post and get a (You) from me, and maybe you can even sense our mindsets are probably comparable, I simply am not there.

>>503378838oh okays
>>503377301I'm making a game I know is not marketable outside of the art.
>>503378806I had a weird experience where I hated my game until I played it again a few years later and realized it wasn't as bad as what I thought it was.

>>503378620Thanks, anon! My artist is currently working on producing the rough animations for the update.>>503376932No.
>>503378937Developers cannot accurately judge the quality of their own games. Usually this is pointed out with the case of absolutely delusional devs thinking their terrible games are good, but if you look at genuinely great games you find that developers terrified that their great games are in fact terrible.You can see this in the making-of documentaries of Half-Life from last year and of Half-Life 2 from last week. The lead on Half-Life shared an anecdote of when he was taking a shower after the game released where his wife asked him if the game was any good, and his honest answer was "I don't know." On Half-Life 2 the team was terrified going into the first public unveiling at E3 2003 and were completely blindsided by the sheer awe of the audience.

If we can't find the press kit for your game, or worse it doesn't actually exist, we're not going to make videos about it, it's not going in an IGN column, it's not getting featured on GameRant, Gamespot won't run an article, Polygon won't mention it, no professional organization will touch it. If you don't want to market your game or don't know how, get help, don't throw your effort in the garbage. When someone actually uses professionals to help we get a nice website with a big fat "Press Kit" link at the top. I'd challenge anyone to find an example of a successful game, indie or otherwise, made in the last decade, that doesn't have a readily accessible Press Kit. It's the bare minimum, it defaults you into articles and blog posts, free publicity. Y'all are like farmers watching their potato harvest rot in storage, crying "why is nobody buying my spuds" while you sit there staring at them, alone, telling nobody of their existence, and refusing to call the local potato buyer that buys potatoes at a perfectly fair price because "I CAN'T DO IT I JUST CAN'T".

I think a lot of people don't realize that your number one goal as a dev of a narrative-focused game should be to make me, the player of your game, think that you aren't stupider than me. It's the same thing with books. Movies and shows can get away with being stupid, or seeming like they're by stupid people, but indie games and books can't. Whatever layers of irony you have to hide behind, lay them on thick, because the second something identifiably retarded happens it's over. This is why like 90% of narrative games on Steam are unmarketable garbage; they make no effort to hide the fact that their developers are vapid morons who have nothing interesting to say.
>>503380490You're just sabotaging yourself with that kind of black & white thinking.

you guys are worried about too much marketing. the game is speaking. do not give too much information. information should be earned not given freely. i think streamers sabotage indie games as much as they can help them. all those horror games that Markiplier played those devs didn't get anything much out of it and in fact it hurt the game more. why would someone buy a game they already saw the ending too? nintendo was right about streamers. they are dogs

The important part is it's all in one place, and easily accessible.

Steam Page -> Website -> "Press Kit", that's perfectly normal. Google [Game]+Press, should be in the top 3 results. Put a link in the description of your Youtube devlog videos. Put a link to it in your tweet announcing the release date.

>>503384785So it takes you less time to draw a sprite with all its movement, attacking animations, etc. than it takes to make a 3d model and rig it?
>>503378806imagine being mindbroken this bad after making a floppa
>>5033845262D is easy, 3D is easy and has good mileage.

>>503384895more time to do 2d with animations etc, but I am perfectly happy doing that, I get into the zone very easily. 3d is like pulling teeth, but I already greyboxed my whole game, I can't back down now.

Spent some time optimizing and refining the grub enemies to work in city levels. There's a bit of jank with having so many interacting with objects at the same time, but it's pretty fun to see them causing destruction.>>503376810There's plenty of good games on AGDG - Peripeteia, Busted Metal, PAT, just to name a few. It comes down mostly to personal taste on what you actually like though, and those three games for example are all vastly different.I think devs should just make the game they want to play, even if on paper it won't sell. I started working on my game because it was something I wanted to create, any hypothetical revenue from Steam sales weren't a factor on starting on it. Really the same goes for creating art in general, make it because it's something you want to make or else you'll start churning out soulless things like NFTs...
>>503387269Fuck off retard.
>>503387303>devs should just make the game they want to play>no one else besides you enjoys it
I decided to look into that "Keymailer" thing and I'm not too sold on it. A lot of it seem to be scammers and freeloaders, and most content creators only want keys from games that are already known.
>>503385635>wants unrestricted access to pornography>calls other people troonFree speech is an important right because it makes all other rights possible, but all rights have limits and responsibilities attached to them. You being able to freely depict and publish a futanari dragon pegging you into a coma while shitting in your mouth isn't necessary for the continuation of western civilisation. Kids are already brain damaged enough from the shit they see online, exposure to pornography indeed being a contributing factor to them trooning out. So I'm happy for you disgusting animals to be driven back into the dark places of the internet where you belong.Remember when Tumblr banned porn and then all the worst people in the world flocked to twitter, why don't you do that but to Mastodon or bsky or some other alternate platform that suddenly has to deal with tens of thousands of CP reports as soon as the coomers and leftoids decided to move in?Anyway I fucking hate coom devs, and their suffering makes me happy.

>>503387834Just fucking parent them, you lazy faggot.Same argument with videogame violence.Also, nice one bring up Tumblr as if their effect on Twitter didn't also involve the anti porn purists, who also happen to be lefty as fuck.Zoomers got their morals from Tumblr refugees.The Zoomer "porn obsession" isn't about the ones that like porn, it's also showcased in the ones that hate it.That's why they want every fictional character to be a vague blob with no gender specific traits because they think anytime a female character happens to have breasts in a cartoon is "coomer shit", even if it's not done in a sexual context.Porn on Tumblr was already a ticking bomb because the stie was essentialyl SJW headquarters at the time.It also didn't help that the people that bitched about anime titties were into ugly people being fetishized and even weirder fetishes.That's where "Bidoof's Law" comes from.
>>503388361>hired architects to make buildings "realistic"sounds like something cris would do if he had money
>>503388757I hope that's someone pretending to be you and not you being actually delusional
>>503386917this game did so much better than I thought it would
>>503384526It depends on the game.I think 2D art is easier for the most part but if your game has a lot of animations and such then 3D becomes easier.
>>503388291>no one else besides you enjoys it???
>>503388361He's obsessed with stroking his own ego, I can tell you that much.>>hired architects to make buildings "realistic"Case in point. I've never understood why normies have this glorified vision of architects as being geniuses. I'm an architect (ok, not fully since I'm not licensed yet, but I work at an architecture firm dealing with construction drawings and shit like that) and a lot of my coworkers are dumb as bricks.If I had to guess why people perceive us like this, it's probably because people outside of architecture fall for the fantastical version of the field that famous architects like to spin at TED Talks or in books. Blow, wanting people to think he's smart, essentially paid these architects to give his game the "Smart Person's Stamp of Approval" just so he could gloat about it (like he did here).

>>503387303The advice "make the game you want to play" is very bad advice. People here have no taste, or they have colossal self-sabotaging tendencies that have manifested as them being failures for their whole lives, ultimately turning to gamedev is a last-ditch effort for them to turn their lives around without actually doing something that might make them too uncomfortable and cause them to actually grow as a person.>>503387558The small niche of people who inhabit this board seem to have tastes so far gone that as a community we just keep producing flop after flop. And there are enough butthurt crabs here that will trash anything competent or appealing as "slop", agdg is allergic to success and the things that lead to it. If they weren't then this thread wouldn't be full of neets, troons and permavirgins but well-adjusted adults who have normal lives and also just so happen to think gamedev is fun.

>>503389361They still taught hand drafting at my school. It filtered a lot of the "I want to be an architect!!" rich girls going to college on daddy's money. 3 girls dropped out of my program because of it.I'd argue that AutoCAD required a brain too. All it did was get rid of a lot of the mind numbing repetitive tasks and eliminated the need to go back through every sheet whenever a wall is moved. You still had to draw every line, so each one meant something. Revit is the true tard program, and unfortunately that's what my firm has transitioned to. For every part of the process it claims to speed up it massively slows down anything that requires any custom work. Any building that isn't just a gabled box with all right angles and generic windows is a pain in the ass. It's a program designed for churning out slop.

thoughts on r/gameDevClassifieds for finding work or a team?
>>503382757same bro, same. ironic that if your game is good enough they'll do an article regardless of the press kit's existence since it's easy clicks to write an article on a popular game. wouldn't surprise me if they just look up let's play and summarize what they saw in there>>503383173but you'll throw a tantrum and cry when news agencies drop your 60k salary in favor of the ai generated articles, who even read's these articles anyways? i doubt most gamer's looking through them will read the whole thing about your game. if anything they'd probably skim it, easy enough for ai to be hidden when the whole thing isn't read. a lot of financial news when it comes to stocks already sounds ai generated but i think it's been like that for years now
>>503389924Rotate the block so that the edges are at the front and sides of the legs rather than the faces. It will make it appear more rounded without adding any additional polygons.
>>503389418Those three games I listed are all the product of that advice, though. BigguyDev said he wanted to make a classic car combat game like Twisted Metal, Peripeteia started iirc as just a few devs on 4chan trying to make an FPS/immersive sim, and Poke All Toads from what I can tell didn't start as just some project to make as much money as possible.I just think that some people here focus so much on whether or not their game is going to generate revenue that they forget to actually make a game that they want to play.>>503387558What he said -> >>503389521

What does this mean for adult content devs? Will they leave patreon if this happens there too? It'll probably hurt patreon's profits massively.
Should I even bother with a game that essentially requires the player to have read a classic work of literature in order to fully grasp the meaning and enjoy their experience? I get the sense that the overlap between people who play video games and people who read books isn't particularly high.
Is it cheap to have Rogue or Rogues in your game's title? The game is a roguelite.
while looking for 2d artists to work with i noticed that similar soulless painting style. i decided to do pickup art on my own. sovl is sorely lacking and i will be the one to bring it.

Anything that can only be experienced once you're immediately losing sales the moment anyone decides to watch someone play it instead of buying it.

Those sorts of games make the viewers want to play them instead of simply being content watching someone else play.

You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.

>>503393521>People here make the game they want to makeCorrection; they make an inferior version of the game they want to make because they do not have the skills to make it as good as they'd want to.

I think I'll stay in this thread, it's more comfy than the new one
