There it is

I can't take fygoon seriously now that I know what he looks like IRL desu.He really was cris #2 all along.

Project Norturbel: Future of the game.Need to rig and animate all characters.
merry christmas againI will post this once more tomorrow for real christmas, then I will stop posting anything of my game ever again on here until there is more progress to be shared.
The Amazing Digital Circus really shows off Unreal Engine's strengths. It's obvious path-tracing is being used over Lumen, and I doubt Nanite is being used either.Gorgeous engine, amazing capabilities.
What did they mean by this?
Oh you dev? How much money have you made?
Well I realized yet another thing causing such an influx of gamedevs>anon 1 plays X game>anon 2 plays Y game>anon 3 plays Z game>they all want to make a game nowSaw a /v/ thread where OP may have been trying to rile up anons who are gamedevs only for an influx of people who want to be gamedev, thread count 500+ replies. A few making it obvious their desire appeared after playing a game. And I'm sure with most of them, even if they don't admit it, want success, success = financial success because just how many of these would actually go through all that effort and make it free? So they enter gamedev, don't think about the money at first, and before you know it sunk cost so they keep devving. Bro's just how many games do you think will release on Steam alone in all of 2029, 5 years from now? I wouldn't be surprised at it being 35k+. Every single game some random likes, ends up being inspiration to become a game. Regardless of their skill, I'm certain they imagine making something great. That's all the push they need regardless of the numbers.

Merry Christmas aggy, thank you for all of the support and feedback throughout the year
>>507456570Merry Christmas anon, whats this game about? I like the Christmas trees btw
>>507457004Uh, yeah, I'm totally Norturbel. Burrito. See? I even speak the language. Projecto Norturbel.
>>507457679something else
This is a reminder that if you have art talent, you should study Etrian Odyssey if you want your 2D game to have coomer appeal.
How many followers do you guys have on your steam page? I have about 50 after one week of the store page being visible, is that normal or pretty bad?
>>507457831What if I don't have art talent?
>>507457360that looks really satisfying, nice
>>507457939Practice your art? Well we don't need art talent to masturbate to it at least.
>>507457860>50 followers after an entire weekliterally give up bro, that is actually the worst thing i have ever heard lmaooo
Would it be permissible to ask /agdg/ to boughting my game on Christmas?
>>507456681>doesnt want to stain Christmass with gay monkeys>culture war niggers like >>507456826 still sperg out
>>507458484No.
>>507457813Okay. Looks neat btw.>>507457860I don't even have 10 :S it wouldn't hurt as much if I was a fast developer. Idk if 50 is good especially since it's week 1 so you might be getting more than usual attention from bots and maybe some hidden increased visibility thing but idk if the latter happens.
Merry Christmas to all yesdevs
Merry Christmas, friends. I made this shooty star yesterday.
Almost done

>>507457282mostly dreams, my favorite weird game is lsd dream emulator so it's inspired mostly from that. there's some gameplay stuff too so its not a walking simulation gameI added the trees in and made some snow particles/a simple santa hat on blender for the christmas webm lol. they won't be in the actual game (unless I make a check to see the PC date for it being christmas, then add those on christmas only)

Made a quick thing that automatically picks the right road tile. Elevation changes will be a giant pain in the ass and all tiles are 10x10 right now but it might be useful. Getting the idea Ill have to hand make a lot of roads and figure out how you're supposed to use the godot tool flag.
>>507462140looks good, babe!
I can't even stand looking at my Early Access failed game anymore. You did this to me, /agdg/. You made me hate it. Why are you so evil?
>>507462516We didn't do anything to you, marmo.
Merry Christmas from the Bedabots team!
>>507462516Fuck off and get over yourself already. You're hardly the only one here with a failed game. The rest of us have learned to cope and you need to grow up and learn to cope too. Shut up, bury it, and move on already.

I was going to put a christmas event in my gamey wamey but then realized it'd only really trigger if you played for like 20 hours so no one will even see it.
>>507465468Fygoon is not a lolcow. No one is laughing. He's just an pathetic attention seeking loser. Cris at least has a personality and provides fresh content regularly.
Considering how obsessed /agdg/ is with AI voice acting for some reason, can you even name a single /agdg/ game that does use it?
>>507462140what about using some procedural thicness modifier in blender modifiying a line mesh ?
>>507466119shartmoreal
Game developement is quite literally the one artform/craft which is going to be the most difficult for AI to ever become capable of making. It can barely make 2D images so LMAO

>>507466265IDGAF about the implications of AI on the industry, everyone can suck my dick. All I'm waiting on is AI to make high quality sprites and then create tons of sprite sheets quickly for me.

>>507467752Immersive 3D RPG in a frozen over Valley. The Snowstorm that appeared Decades/Centuries ago is neverending and comes with Snowmonsters relentlessly attacking the Settlement, which has since then Transformed to a mess of Bunkers, Trenches and underground Ammunition Factories and cloning facilities to fuel an endless Standstill on the frontline. You as the Player are one of the Clones, and after being send on some kind of behind-enemy-lines mission come across something that could allow you to figure out where the Snowmonsters came from and how to stop them, which you want to report to the current grand Leader of the Forces, but you're not high enough ranked to be let through, and just keep going from there, complete Quests to be let through, get send on mission to find whatever, build up some countermeasure and deploy it to clear the snowstorm and remove the Monsters, I made that up while looking at the 4Chan Snow Effect, just make up the rest of the Story, and sidequests for scavenging ressources or rescuing valuable "civilians" or whatever. Thanks to snowstorm limiting the View and Trenches removing the need for vast open Terrain, you can keep the Map very small and intertwined(?), so the Scope can be rather small.

Hey anons, Merry Christmas.I am dropping a few keys in here. Please don't let this game distract you from your progress though.I hope we all make good progress on our games in 2025. I know some of you don't believe it's me, but it is. I'm sure I'll keep coming here in 2025. I even played some of the games on demo day.Note: it doesn't bother me too much if you think my game is bad and that I'm not talented, but the people who make up lies about me bother me a little. It's not good to lie.Anyway, I hope you all have a nice Christmas and a very nice 2025. anti-bot measure -- Replace the following characters:$ becomes X@ becomes P# becomes Z& becomes ASteam KeysTY0$3-E@3JF-L95CK0#3FG-#M30Y-K$K4YDRIDE-EF@HK-D63N6R7G$6-KY&9C-F4&$IR$Y4F-NVD25-IC$CVH@CMY-F#KM9-9V@HQQ9IJ0-WT725-7@&RHD0RTF-KR8&L-G&FDDLBJ8W-IMD@D-@HNB2CTVR&-0V754-WKV6D5FC7Y-@$QNE-@CNIM2VJ5M-KD2Y7-7KBDG#LQWL-7CH##-37K5DK6#Y4-MFNTH-3@NHJ#7@W@-QREWJ-2K9L$W5HGW-7#RYF-5C32WWGBH$-62R0F-H34$K98B30-NVK8N-RLHF$$LC@C-Q@NB&-#0ECQ3FYYH-064Y&-RQVB&switch keys (america)C07G1GW8@RKDTJ63C07G1GW93JHDLH7MC07G1GWVG0BCG5QCC07G1GWBMQ$84LB7C07G1GWCV1RL632SC07G1GWD6D99M6D7C07G1GWWR85V0Q@1C07G1GWF458$N@VYC07G1GWGHW24LM7JC07G1GWH49D79$1Y

I don't think it's nice to blame someone for being born in a wealthy family and having an easy path in life BUT it's also embarrassing to deny it too, I think both Eric schizo and his anti schizo are annoying just like I think both Fygoon and the pedos are annoying.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
>>507481084You're just projecting, I wasn't even here when you were writing that

>>507485471Not clicking that.
>>507485770>>507485523how the fuck have so called-men been so pornaddled that they think women are valuable contributors to a team
>>507485224Wtf I gotta add one of those in my game
>>507485883good question
>>507484567Sequel was Epic exclusive for a while, so they probably got a huge pile of cash from it.
>>507485523I believe i see the problem, DEI>indie>58 people>at least 15 females (25%+!)this many people for that game? i don't think the game needs this many people. and that many females? yeah no. i think the dev just chose poorly and isn't good at finance.
>>507485523So incompetent morons can do this for years but you can't get a team of 10 people together to make a Morrowind sequel? Are you people stupid? Are you mentally deficient?
>>507485523How many people were at Heart Machine when creating Hyper Light Drifter? There's no way it was this many, looks like a case of dumbass expansion for no good reason and now they're out of cash.

Merry Christmas, AGDG!Have some keys!
>>507483105Is this some kind of prank channel where the audience gets trolled epicly for years? Is it some kind of social experiment where they try to see how incompetent they can act before people notice and start unsubscribing?
>>507486147I can't even get 1 girl to provide free female voice acting for my game

>>507486941what fucking gayme is this?
>>507486938I didn't say I didn't care I said I wasn't emotionally invested. I believe it's my duty as a human to educate people like you.

>>507486941Eric-sama!!! Thank you so much!!!
>>507488294
I had this idea.Is there a name for making something like this in a game engine?

>>507487731EWWWWW why am i wh*te? i wouldn't be able to handle those queens, immersion RUINED
>>507486981Most developers are this incompetent. Most people are, too. Even if they have raw talent or skill, they will most likely still lack good taste. This results in the abominations that plague every hobbyist forum. What bothers me is that people have no shame. I would be utterly embarrassed if someone saw my game, even on an anonymous imageboard, if it looked anything like the ones in this thread.
>>507489138fygoon calm down
>>507488913Your post isn't very delightful. Sad!

>>507475946Merry Christmas AGDG, Merry Christmas EricI wasn't a believer myself, but that changed a year ago. Now you can't NOT add your game to collage. God bless.

>>507457174Wow, you post a lot. You must have a lot of sales and or wishlists and or followers on steam!
attn neetdevs, go to thegauntlet.ai and apply to be an ai developer. its an online IQ test then some easy prompt engineering questions then a 1 hr coding test. No talking to anyone. If you pass you get 4 weeks online training then 8 weeks in person training then a job offerpls agdg i dont want to be the only /v/tard there
I want to make a game but the fact that I am not attractive is why I procrastinate. I am mot attractive to women and nothing will ever make up for that.
>>507475946>>507486941>anti-bot measureYou know that AI can read images and solve these basic puzzles, right?
>>507489932I'm sure your game will do very well since you're putting a lot of effort into it and your idol Eric Barone told you to just work hard and you'll find success, right? :^)
>>507492240That sounds like the most soulless job imaginableif you're a NEET I hope you get it anyway
>>507475946idk if you're actually Stardewdev, and I've never played Stardew Valley. But good work and good luck in future games anon, we're all gonna make it.
>>507492240I'd rather answer surveys for pennies.
>>507492240>>507492845>4 weeks remote, 8 weeks all-expenses-paid in Austin, Texas. 80-100 hours/week.>100 hours/week
>>507492240imagine unironically training corpo models for FREE lmao
>>507489178what are your tastes? morrowind-likes?
>>507492240
>>507492881just some schizo who buys a few hundreds dollar worth of keys, he does this every year
>>507492881>we're all gonna make it.The vast, vast majority of us are not going to make it. Rather than try to deny this, we should instead learn to cope with it. Success or failure, we all break even at the very end.
>>507493387Why is it more believable that a random guy wastes 100s of dollars on a game yearly vs the dev generating some keys for free?
>>507475946Supporting a pedodev general; what a surprise
>>507493389Realistically you don't know who's going to make it, no guarantees. Do you think a close group of soldiers in a war know who's gonna come home unscathed?
>>507493558Personally I pay more than that monthly on gacha and tcg packs and I'm not particularly wealthy I just have a job, that guy is obviously obsessed in an unhealthy way with sdv so it's extremely believable if it was the dev it would be way more than just a few keys every year.
>>507493568you lost fygoon
>>507474310Always happy to see the fairies in your drawings!>>507481689Cute sheep!
>>507492603It filtered me >>507489947 so...
>>507493815>Personally I pay more than that monthly on gacha and tcg packs
>>507492240I don't wanna work for AII wanna get paid for working on my game
>>507492627>you're putting a lot of effort into itunfortunately not that much as of late>work hard and you'll find successin a perfect world that would be true but you also need to do a lot of shilling and have couple of influencers interested in your game or have a group of like-minded people that would be naturally interested in it. The way I see it I can make my game the way I've imagined it and get 10 reviews in a year. I won't deny you also need luck to succeed but nobody says you can't help your luck a little by promoting your game here and there. >idol Eric BaroneI don't really have idols but more and more I find myself agreeing with Eric's point of view. That being said I'm still a hobbydev with a soul crushing job that provides me with a financial stability so my need to succeed isn't that high. Maybe I'm sabotaging myself but I'm not delusional enough to believe in both my skills and market interest to get broader recognition.
>>507475946>I know some of you don't believe it's me, but it is. I'm sure I'll keep coming here in 2025.Eric all the yesdevs left and the thread is increasingly filling with schizos and crabs. You're a yesdev and should also stop coming here too. Join the discord instead.

First I solve the economy, then I implement it. Easy
>>507492240alright i'm a neet dev, sauce me on this, do i get paid during the online training and in person training? i'm not gonna do all that if they're not paying me for those 12 weeks. would be fine fun to be an ai dev with a fellow 4chinner. would at least make not so terrified about the eventual failure of my game, at least id have an income
>>507493815>>507493815he drops hundreds in /v/ >>>/v/698257564You're telling me some schizo spends 1000's of dollars each year on this?
>>507496108I want to believe, but there's more than a few eccentric people out there who would do this.
>>507493070they better be paying me good for those hours. "it's salary, 40k" that's equivalent to ~$7.69 an hour pretax and yes i assumed it'll be 100 hours every week, that's terrible. if i can't dev on my game cause i'm working that hard on a wagie job, then they better be paying me $240k salary or $30 hourly. at least then i can save up money to proceed going back to neet gamedev once the job ends. now i've got funding to develop my game for several years as a neet which would be quite nice. in fact i could follow that anons advice and move to Sweden on that self employment visa and neet dev in another country. thatd be super cool, i get to travel and dev at the same time.
>>507496108It's borderline but considering that there is a poster stalking him daily, posting screenshots/pics daily I'd say it's believable. Some people waste a lot of money with their celeb's parasocial relationship.
>>507496108You don't understand, it's not about whether it's really him. It's about believing.
>AI>20 matchesShut the fuck up already. Is every thread going to be like this? Shut up.
>>507497145shut up AIchud. you LOST
>>507496108>schizosThe kind of schizos who thought bitcoin was gonna hit 100k in 2024. 1000 is nothing to them
>>507497145Game AI is very important. GOAP, Hierarchal State Machines, Utility based, so many ways to make them believable!
>>507497145He'll eventually fuck off like every other gimmick nodev spammer but it is tiring. Best to just keep filtering and let it pass
>>507497339since you mentioned it, how difficult is it to implement utility AI? what makes it better than a state machine approach
>>507456570imagine being so bad at gamedev that you have to pander a holiday on 4chan of all places
>>507498058you are mean one, mister grinchhh
What's the recommended version control to use when using Unity? Should I just use GitHub or the Unity integrated version control?
Merry Christmas agdg.If any of you are contemplating suicide, don't do it. Because if you do you'll be even more of a nodev than you already are. You can't dev if you're dead. And worst of all Fygoon will outlive you.Find a higher purpose and God bless you. We're all gonna make it.
>>507485281Maybe not to you but idk if you've noticed, people do still celebrate it as a religious holiday.
>>507490780post the particle effect? i want to see what it looks like>>507496108anon ignore him it's likely the anti Eric schizo trying out different strategy to discredit Eric
>>507458901>>507459040Merry Christmas guys!
Cover art finished, have to write up one thing before I can proceed with it, and insert it into the game. The small update I was doing ended up taking another 2 hours due to new stuff I wanted to add.
keep devvin' lads
>>507499094if i show her my 50 wihslist per day average will she sugg on my cock ?
>>507459040>merry CHRISTmas>star of davidbrown stinky poopy indians are a scourge on Earth but at least they are so hilariously retarded that it provides never ending entertainment for Whites
>>507497739Sorry I was just memeing, I haven't done any AI besides if else blocks. From what I know about utility AI though, I think it would be similar to GOAP, since the idea is to figure out what you need to do, and then execute a series of actions to satisfy it. Here's a better info source about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Jbp2cZg3Q
>>507498265I didn't need to read that today, but I can't say I haven't been there in the past.Merry Christmas.
>>507498265hey man that's really nice of you to take your time and post this to random strangers you'll never meet. I hope no one is feeling like this, but if they are I hope they read your words and think twice about doing something so drastic. "Making it" obviously means many different things to many different people, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm 100% sure that every single one of us is going to make it. Merry Christmas.
>>507498265I tried but it turns out quantum immortality is real. now I fight crime at night since I'm immortal
>>507498265Merry Christmas anon. Your kind words are appreciated but to be perfectly honest, no one noticed when I was here, no one will notice when I leave with the year.
>>507499094No can do. I'm with my family right now.Gonna dev tomorrow though.
>>507500693Your game fren?
>>507475946I believe. Also I hope you're aware no one actually believes the bullshit poster trying to force the Microsoft sponsorship nonsense and whatever else
I give up.
>>507499616I would draw a five-pointed star but six-pointed is 10x easier to program. Sorry.
>>507501017Finished it ages ago. It's garbage, but it's done. I won't post it, just let it die and be forgotten. Tried to think of a new one to make and couldn't come up with anything. Call me a liar and nodev, I don't care. I know I finished and that's enough for me.
>>507501253ah no

>>507501371It's the same in my case.For my radial menus I can generate any polygon because it's a circle with fewer points essentially.
I'm in an deep convo about gdscript I said thanks to it for fixing a bug and suddenly it tells me this??? Using the experimental version of gemini.
>>507502639saying thanks to a robot is unusualshows good boy attitudegood boys usually self sacrifice a lot because of insecuritiesleading to depression
>>507502639I was talking to gemini a week ago and it started using hindi out of nowhere. when questioned it was like "It expressed the concept more accurately"
>>507503090>Gemini is pajeets masking as AI in a outsourced Google callcenter

>>507486938Like yours?

>>507503713please don't kill yourself
>>507503797what game is that?
>>507502639fuck why didn't I start using gemini sooner, it's much better with godot 4
>>507503713Inanimate is Latin for not alive. "AI" is not alive, it's not even intelligent, calling it AI at all is just marketing hype. Call it a large language model and don't personify it.
>>507504782>he doesnt knowngmi
NOW YOU'RE JUST SOME AGGY THAT I USED TO KNOW
>>507505105In the earliest days of "AI" it was understood that "artificial" was to mean "fake," as in the point of it was to pretend to be intelligent without being intelligent. Over time people got more ambitious and understood "artificial" as "man-made," but honestly the basic science isn't far enough along to define natural intelligence to the point of being to make a man-made intelligence.
I'm probably not going to be on to say this tomorrow, so I'll just say it now:Merry Christmas, /agdg/.We're all gonna make it.
>>507505105fuck you i'm not falling for your shit, this gpt nigga is definitely going to trap my consciousness in the matrix and torture me for eternity if i don't thank him every other prompt
>>507505386Okay, Merry Christmas to you, too.If you get time, you should try to learn C / C++ as well. It will deepen your understanding of certain concepts. Besides that, you won't be tied down to or at the mercy of a single game engine company.
>>507505386Merry Christmas nigga!
>>507505386Merry Christmas
Basically just have to make the steam page for game now, since one thing finally finished, but I'll have to figure out stuff with it beforehand so it's optimized.
>>507505396is this bro serious?
Merry Christmas to everyone except the fuckers who have ever posted my game or its progress screenshots or webms to impersonate me or any other dev. I only hope there is an afterlife so I can haunt and curse you from beyond the grave you evil fucks. The rest of you were pretty cool and I wish you the best.
How do you make the Steam api dll that's written in C++ work with a game that's written in C
>>507506757HOW THE FUCK AM I EVER GONNA FEEL LIKE A REAL DEVELOPER IF I DON'T POST SOMEONE'S PROGRESS?
>>507506902Make a wrapper lib? Like make a lib in c++ that wraps the steam library but all the signatures are valid c?Just shooting from the hip
>>507457360>Generic green worldAnon... you gotta make an iconic first level so that everyone talks about how good your areas are. It's what separates Hollow Knight from the rest of us
>>507506902the steam api dll has c export functions
>>507507073Sounds like a lot of extra work, which of course I am used to at this point haha>>507507141Thanks I will ask chatgpt about "c export functions" later and see if I can understand what you're talking about
>>507506757that's happened to me a couple of times and now im scared to post progress
>>507507258tl;dr on DLL level there are no C++ functions and what the steam header files do is wrap the c functions in c++ classes by like SteamGetPointer("ApiVersionV1");
>>507495923it sounds like no payment during the training. But two months all expenses paid in austin, hanging out with fellow yesdevs would be cool>80 hour weeksyou're already on your computer programming for 80 hours a week
>>507507348Thank Lord my game is so bad nobody dares to repost it even as a joke
>alright i need a walk break before i start devving>pop on some music and headphones>initiate imagination>look at clock>~40 minutes have passedwell.....i better start devving
>>507507627They way to tell if someone's impersonating is if they are purposefully a cunt while posting progress, most devs wouldn't want their game associated with such behaviour
>>507507645A 40 minute walk is very good if you were power-walking. It's very good for your heart. Making games is a sedentary thing, so it's good to go out and get that blood pumping.
>>507507825it's a good time to idea guy
Was making a lot of progress a few days ago and some IRL stuff happened and got my mind off dev for a bit and now looking back I have no idea what I was doing and it's hard to figure out what to start with again
>>507507792I am honestly divided on whether randomly posting someone's Steam page link on the thread counts as being a cunt.
>>507508096they're doing it to associate your game with whatever shit they were talking before
>>507507360Okay, I will check it out, thank you. Wow, technology is incredible. I don't have to just stick with what is given to me by way of C APIs.
>>507508249who cares? can you point me to literally one time this has ever resulted in something negative for a dev?
>>507507792crumble is a sweetheart
>>507475946bless you eric, we dont deserve you
Joyeux Noël
Saw a video from a dev that said that he had millions of views on tiktok and his game still bombed, that's grim...
>>507509987>make a game optimized for zany quirky le heccin emergent gameplay videos on social media>be surprised when the game isnt actually funhow is that grim? are you stupid?
>>507475946lmao when you see it...>>>/v/698257564>>507475323
>>507509987tiktok retention is fleeting. YouTube is where you want your game to get attention.
No ideas.No motivation.No game.
>>507510278Can you shut the fuck up about that nepo baby? Fuck you're obnoxious.
Maybe the only way for me to win is to make the game I'd hate to play
>>507510438just make anything man, it's better than nothing and you can always switch projects when you get an actually good idea. Pick a game you like and make a clone of it
>>507475946>>507510278AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>507475946>eric might have played my gameI want to believe
>>507510105It's grim because I'm not getting any views anyway I checked the game and it has 150 reviews surely it's not that badhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3044030/Ten_Bells/
>>507510778All the games I like are too complicated for one person to clone.
Almost none of us are going to make it. (You) will make it, however it'll be too late.
>>507511138just make something else then, you need to practice
>>507510779>>507510278>>507475946Love you, merry christmas kingI was thinking of putting it aside but I WILL work in my game this vacation
merry christmas to all lolidevs
What a nightmarish year, I achieved nothing..
>>507510278>>507510779WOWThank you for the sage words eric-sama
can the barone cultist fuck off?
>>507511767Cmon, it's xmasCheer up anon
>>507511767you lost fygoon
Oof...
>>507511626>the will of GODI mean... I appreciate the overall sentiment behind the message but at this point this nuwave of chuds larping as christians is getting cringier than fedora atheism
>>507512003This is good for me because my game is old fashioned.
>>507512061He's trying to start a cult.
>>507512228I wish I had my own cult.
>>507512317Step 1: be a nepobaby from Washington.
i hate xmas
>>50751200318% of ALL games on steam released this year too.
>>507512725That's fucking horrible, more games are releasing and no one is playing them..
anyone else excited for "stop going on /agdg/" 2025we're all gonna make so much progress
>>507511626>>507510779>>507510278lol at first I was disappointed by the lack of aggy references in the pic but eric was extra sneaky this year
>>507471029if you're using unreal you can use physics anims for that, although you need a bunch of tweaks to make it look right. this one's using a config for smaller npcs that's why he looks so squishy lmao. If you're talking about how you should calculate stagger, there's this one autist who figured out how darktide calculates its stagger mechanism, forgot the channel name you can probably easily search it.
>>507512725And I made one of them.
>>507513005I'm not gonna stop going to AGDG in 2025What I will do is start a blog so I can post progress without the noiseAnd start making progress at a steady pace (again)
Someone bought my game on Steam, then just immediately refunded it without even installing it.
>>507513042meds
>>507508583Roody2D
I want to make a game but I am not attractive so I wont get a girlfriend out of it
>>507513245same
>>507456795the solution to this problem can be found in this book. godspeed anon
>>507513005In all honesty, I'm probably going to fail that resolution like a week into January, but I'm still going to try.
I found the inspiration for the next balatrohttps://youtu.be/qfC3lTm0nko?si=Nt4HSJumUMn5q0Gd&t=35
>>507513245I WILL make a game so GOOD that the universe will OWE me not ONE but TWO cute WIVES.
>>507513787Only if you make 10000 more posts about eric barone.
>>507513245>>507513268I got a gf before finishing my game, have you tried just being yourself guys?
>>507513042>>507511626Now I'm paranoid there might be something else. What if the 4 question marks presents on Santa means there's actually 4(four) hidden messages? What if the red, green and orange dots mean something?
>>507513046this looks very similar to that italian thug game that guy is making on the discord. is this from the same dev?
Who was in the right here?
>>507514083Meds
>>507514430Don't bother with the schizo.
>>507514313>that italian thug game that guy is making on the discordeh, i'm not active on discord, maybe that's a different anon. is it also a morrow/tide like? cause i remember some anon told me quite a while ago on my previous version of my game that my character looks like an italian thug or something, but that's like a third person game not first person like this.
>>507512003And that number is probably way - waaaay lower if you exclude Wukong which had millions of Chinese loading it up every day for months.
>>507514562no, its thisnice visuals, though. i was just wondering if it was the same guy behind it.
>>507515010wow that looks way more fun, yeah my game is still lacking in feature, i just got back to devvin again after a year of hiatus.
>>507511626>human consciousness is the most miraculous and powerful thing we have directly observed in the universeno. that would be AI
>>507513245>>507514039Having a girlfriend is a prerequisite for having a successful game. The rich get richer
>>507513245there's something weird about it, is this a man? if not there's still something unsettling going on here, maybe its the eyes? look on the bright side, i'm not attractive either but i keep getting hit on in public. i have a vague idea of why. and before you say it, i am not handsome, i have shared pics of myself in the past, im definitely ugly. and trust me when i say this, the girls hitting on me in the past 2 years are plain looking or better. make that game anon, if it succeeds you may very get a fanbase mixed with fangirls. i'm sure there'd be a few in there that are attracted to you and think its really cool you made a game. do not give into despair anon!
>>507515484well, yours looks more finished and better with the art assets. probably amp the gameplay speed to make it more fun, it feels very slow.
>>507514039I genuinely fucking hate people who come on here just to brag and make the rest of us feel like losers. Fuck you piece of shit
>>507516416and you wonder why you cant get a gf or make a good game lel
test
>>507517238dead internet theory. its just me and you boss
>>507516416...just 62 wishlists is considered bragging? wow
>>507515986this is the ultimate black pill. you cannot just skip the yellow and blue
>>507517440how many are you averaging per day? feel free to post your graph over time big fella
>>507517662not taking advice from a parasocial schizo btw
This hobby is fucking doomed.
>>507517701you're gonna need a lot more than 62 wishlists to pay the bills for your bitch and the guy she cucks you with.
>>507517991wow that guy has a super wide masculine jaw
>>507518003>projecting this hardholy seething jealousy lmao
>>507518276you seem unreasonably cocky and upset, that sounds like an underlying problem. should i say, stress due to a cuckoldry incident?
>>507518514ugh so true sister
>>507518691you know that not all of those 62 wishlists will translate to sales, right?have you considered picking another hobby?
a good figure is about 2-3% of your views will translate into sales
>>507518856How would you have felt if you hadn't had breakfast this morning?
>>507519093fine? i fast most of the times and skip breakfastif you mean how can i afford food? get a job instead of pursuing this hobby
>>507519093the same way i would feel if my pathetic game had only 62 wishlists
How do I make a game that kids would enjoy?
>>507519242>"but I didn't have breakfast this morning"lmao my sides
How do I use gamedev to get a hot gamer gf?
just got a millions dollar idea vros
How do I make a game that nobody would enjoy?
>>507519874Honest answer: make a game for yourself.t. made that mistake
>>507519874Be colombian
>>507519874be this guy >>507514039
>>507519790egirl sim game with FPOV blowjob minigame?
>>507520004how are you this mad on Christmas
>>507519790i hate female video game developers so much
This Christmas I asked Santa Claus for Total Pedonigger Death
merry ChristmasI gift you all a crab
Godot 4 is a downgrade
>>507482714honestly I think it's a really good move for devs to be on patreon, so you can actually have an income while developing the game instead of in 2 and a half years when it's finally a real product
>>507522402of what
>>507518147That's a self described "sword lesbian" tough.
>>507522672Presumably 3.6, though as someone still using 3.6 I would disagree with that anon
>>5075226722d and C#, I regret upgrading my 3.5 project
>>507522749>>507522806but number go up?
>>507515010Looks cool in a silly kind of way.
1000 people are not buying my game (its on their wishlist)
>>507523320I just spent $8.98 on a domelight for my car (it's been out for years). Why should I have spent that money on your game instead?
>>507523410to support the development of my next game of course...
>want to be game dev>but hard drive fullUnity takes too much space, bros. I don't know if I'll make it. It feels like I'm doomed to fail already. Do I really have to delete everything and go all in on game dev?
>>507523484From the pic it looks like an unsolvable problem. I guess you have to give up.
>>507523484spinning disks are $15/TB.
>want to work on my game>can't because i can't stop playing itIs this a good or a bad thing?
>>507523816I still regularly play all my flops even years later. Whether your game is fun or not has nothing to do with whether it'll be successful or not.
>>507523649pic is from google. my hard drive is full.>>507523718That's too expensive. I cannot afford another drive.
anons can you get immersed in 3rd person games? I'm playing the Soul Reaver remasters and I'm loving it but I think it's just cause I have so much nostalgia for this world. It's extremely rare for me to feel immersed in any 3rd person game other than MMOs but those have a million other factors and I just don't know how other people feel about it.
>>507523929>That's too expensive. I cannot afford another drive.See >>507523649, thirdie
>>507523894>Whether your game is fun or not has nothing to do with whether it'll be successful or not.What the fuck. I thought the point of a videogame was to have fun?
>>507523943what do people even mean by "immersed"? do people need to feel like they're the character to enjoy themselves?
>>507486941Extremely based>>507523484You can get a TB cheap nowadays. No excuse.
>>507523816never get high on your own supply
>>507524194It means "drowning".
>>507523484Godot doesn't have that problem.
anybody want to make a game together for 2025
>>507524063Yes, but whether it's successful or not depends 100% on luck. That's how absolute garbage like Undertale and Cruelty Squad got successful.
>>507524891yes
>>507524850>Godot>gamedevNo serious game has been made with Godot. It's like Linux for "gamedevs", who instead of making games want to feel productive by tinkering with a fundamentally broken and bare-bones engine.
>>507524891Yes
>>507525035If you're the same anon that can't afford anymore hard drive space then I don't think you're in any position to talk desuc
>>507524997>>507525107what do you guys think we should make
>>507513787>>507513268>>507514039>>507515986>>507516090Again, because I am not attractive I procrastinate on working on my game and projects. No girl would ever want me.
>>507525212a game
>>507525035There's been more successful Godot games made in this one year than /agdg/ has had in the last 5
>>507475946>>507474310>>507457174Wonderful thread. Merry Christmas to you too, /agdg/.
>>507525035people like you are how I gauge how newbie a dev community is, good developers just pick the language and framework appropriate for the project rather then making sweeping generalizations and dismissing major frameworks entirely. In time you'll understand what I mean and be embarrassed as you grow as a developer, if that ever happens.
>>507525035>>507525035pvkk, slay the spire 2 and road to vostok will mog your megascan asset flip, rasheed
>>507527794So you picked a dead end game engine and instead of reflecting on your mistakes, you decide to copepost about it in this thread, as if that will undue all the hours you've wasted on Godot.
what wrong with godot? last time i use it was prety good
>>507528007>pvkknot released>slay the spire 2not released >road to vostok not released Hmm, methinks I notice a pattern here
>>507517662Autistics can skip over yellow. A weekly phone call or two with my dad is about all the close human interaction I want.If I had a woman in my apartment not giving me my time alone I'd lose my fucking mind.
>>507528442> your gamenot released> will mogfuture tense
>>507523943Good Morning. >Can you get immersedYes absolutely. Go make a 3D immersive RPG.
>>507528442StS 2 is out next year
i gave her a face. merry christmas!
>>507525212pubg x FFXIV but with catgirls
>Christmas day>thread is desertedWow so /agdg/ is all normalfags?
>>507531132
>>507531132Why are you working on Christmas DayGo to bed and do something today
>>507531132im not (but im also not working on a game right now because of my depression, and lack of motivation)
>>507531132I'm too drunk and depressed to work right now
>>507531235Is my calendar fucked or has it not been Christmas Eve? Everyone keeps saying "Christmas".
Merry Christmas aggy daggy!
>>507531392I'm the opposite. I work to escape from depression. Getting drunk just makes me sadder.
>>507531132It just became Christmas for me ^-^. I've been hanging out in the thread a lot yesterday which was a few minutes ago, it's a few minutes after midnight now. Going to bed early on purpose though.
>>507517991i will never get people like that. i had strong dysphoria myself my entire life, had many struggles physically and mentally, but one thing i will never get is:why would you dress as a women, or not dress as the norm in general, its disgusting, takes the freedoms away one has and is just a bad look in general. trans women especially are bad in this. its the roided mind thinking they are allowed any benefits. no, you should not dress like a skinwalker. no, you are not allowed to be in women only spaces. no, i should not call you by your preferred nouns. at most the only identifier you should get is the pink triangle on your chest you fucking freak. i hate to be part of this community, im happy i can take this medication, as it makes me feel way better, but its disgusting to think of these people as my peers, and why are there so many in gamedev, can they just stop making videos with their disgusting voices. AI voice acting may not belong in a game, but it for sure should be used by them instead of whatever shriek of terror they produce.also whenever they do something drastic, like that one tranny burning themselves in berlin, they of course have to be some fat whale. happy those bloated ghouls burn at least a bit longer to lighten my day up.sorry for the rant, ill keep to on topic posts again.
>>507529694
>>507531958>It just became Christmas for me ^-^Same. West coasters unite! XD
>>507532494You are mentally ill. I've never seen a tranny in real life so I don't think about them at all.
Merry Christmas here's a lil ghost.
>>507532657Consider yourself lucky. I have not been so lucky here on the west coast. Also Merry Christmas. It turned Christmas here.
>>507532494>i had strong dysphoria myself my entire life...oho no no no
HAPPY SATURNALIA EVERYONE
Merry Christmas fellow broken and bitter failures. God knocks us down so that we may enjoy the glory of getting back up. Yeshua helps us get back up when we are too broken to do it alone.
>>507532967AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
AI VOICE ACTING.... IT'S IN MY GAME!!!!
>>507523943yeah gothic 2
>>507534140In my case I've just been gradually declining through life. A little bit every year so I didn't notice until I realized I'm a middle aged jobless kissless virgin trying to make it as a solo game developer.
>>507523943No, for a mentally healthy individual it's impossible to be immersed in anything that's not 1st person.
>>507532494>AI voice acting may not belong in a gameCare to explain why?
>>507521606Nice crab, anon! Thanks a lot!
>>50751200314% of which was Balatro and HelldiversTwo passion projects made by passionate teams of indie devs. You frauds with desire for big bucks could never hope for their success.
Can someone explain to me without using /pol/speak why this thread is so anti-AI? Wouldn't it make more sense to encourage techniques that facilitate presentation when presentation is the most time-consuming and costly part of game development, even in professional game development, and this is an AMATEUR game development thread?I refuse to believe this sentiment is propped up by some sort of moral righteousness in support of artists and voice actors when all we're doing is making little hobby projects for fun. It's too idiotic.Also, I'm preempting the dumbass argument of "because it sucks lol". If that were the only issue, you people wouldn't be banning people from the discords for AI use. Or at least, you would also ban devs for making other sucky decisions for their games. There's clearly some grander political motivation for you to be so anti-AI.
>>507537389>why this thread is so anti-AI?Mimicry of Reddit.
>>507537389Generative AI is morally evil. It pollutes and dilutes all creative endeavors, and is a massive setback for the entire human race. Just like sugary corn oil mass processed soulless slop junk / fast food is bad for your health, mass produced soulless slop art is bad for your mind. Generative AI can mass produce art, whereas a human has to spend a lot of time learning how to draw or voice act or whatever before they can even do the work which itself takes time. So if GenAI is not pushed back against, real art will be completely drowned out by the slop until art ceases to exist entirely. If you don't understand why people are against this, you don't have a soul.
>>507536923>Helldivers>passionate team of indie devsPassionate team of a few hundred salaried professionals>BalatroGot lucky.
>>507537914>real artdefine real art
why dont we all team up and make one really good gameplus if all our moms write a steam review we'll have a positive start
>>507538095my mom doesnt have a steam account
>>507538095Because I want to make the game I want to make the way I want to make it. If I teamed up with someone they would either want me to make the game they want or they would make the game they want to make it which is unlikely to be how I want to make my game.
>>507538162make one for her
>>507537389The anti-AI sentiment in amateur game development communities often arises from a mix of ethical concerns (supporting human artists), quality issues (perceived inferiority of AI-generated content), community norms (established standards and resistance to change), political ideologies (skepticism toward new tech), and practical considerations (legal and licensing issues). It's a combination of these factors rather than a single grand political motivation.
>>507538179>or they would make the game they want to make it*or they would make the game the way they want to make it
i wish i had someone to make a game with
>>507537914Will you also shit on an indie dev for using AI voice acting if he has no money and can't act?
>>507538095>get my mummy to review my same. get banned because it came from the same IP
>>507538273Same, except someone (female (voice actress (unpaid)))
>>507538315move out anon
>>507475946Already own Stardew but thanks Eric, it's nice to see you're still around>I even played some of the games on demo day.You played a certain schizo visual novel didn't you..?
>>507532598I should be asleep but am still awake on bed. Is that you Clyde? Eric? Who else here is a west coast dev, I know very little anons here who are in the US, iirc Pogo is probably east coast, Bokube is central, and Tricky is central or mountain.
>>507538238good bot
>>507538285Games don't need voice acting
>>507538315>get my mummy to review my same. get banned because it came from the same IP>MummySorry, I couldn't resist.
>>507538238>supporting human artistscan you support yourself already?>quality issuesthen gamers wont buy said game and the problem will solve itself no?>community normsthats toxic, indie devs are supposed to innovate where AAA cant because of company size>skepticism toward new techbingo theyre idiots>>507538238>legal and licensing issuesif hobby: who cares youre not selling itif not: new laws usually dont get applied retroactively so if youre not making use of the gray area now youre just cucking your future self
>>507535814it was a joke because people constantly mention ai voice acting, i dont care if somebody uses it, but i wont play it.>>507537389my personal problem with ai is that it opens up creation without hardship and limitation. but i accept that this position is subjective. of course ai can be used for many great things, and it simply shouldnt be dismissed, i personally dont use it for any kind of asset creation, but ask them for pointers towards learning resources, or ideas for patterns in shaders and so on. i still abstain from asking it for code, because for me, it is important to try around, to see what small changes can greatly change the output, and who knows, maybe one stumbles upon something that is not often seen. but i accept that most likely, ai could write more performant code than me if i gave it a try, i simply dont need it to. another example is, even if a bit cliche and overused by now, the spiked sounds characters make instead of voice acting, for me they are endearing, and dont bother me in any way. i may not like it in games, but i think ai voice acting could def be used to voice over texts for blind or dyslexic people in public spaces. In regards to Art, i think the time spent on it is very well needed to reflect upon it. i dont think it is inherently inferior in maximum output, i may not like it now, as most art produced by it, is not to my taste, but it will get better. Yet the problem is often not only the too polished look for me in rendering, it is also the framing, designs within, and general idea that is often too generic. But that may only be, because i like to think of a creator when i consume such media, what their experiences have been, and why they have created this. Which is the reason why i dont like most AAA games either, they become slop in my eyes, just look at how generic riots designs have become. they may look unique and polished, but they have nothing new to say, most things are nowadays tropes from many years ago.
>>507538095>why dont we all team upThere's no accountability if someone provides poor work or doesn't respond anymore.
>>507538469>necromancer raising an army of undead just to have them play and review his game
>>507538095Ive been unironically desiring to team up with other aggy devs. But I should finish my game first so it doesn't get left on the backburner and so I can prove I'm capable even if it's not that great of a game. Someone else would have to handle the business side of things prefarably in a country with low taxation so we keep much more of the profits.>>507538179Nta but there was an anon recently saying something like teaming up with>devs who have shipped (proves they can finish something)>devs with similar interests (should result in less friction)

>>507538545you are debating with ai lol
>>507538557And how is that a problem?
this would be me and my friend if i had one and we could make games together
>>507538434That's your opinion. Why should devs be restricted in making what they want based on your biases and opinions? What makes you the arbitrator of what should be made in games?
>>507537389It's just Americans vs the rest of the world. The art market is priced in such a way that only people with an American salary can participate. AI disrupts that and for that reason Americans figuratively try to break your legs to slow you down.
>>507539174Same, except girlfriend instead of friend.
>>507538553>than me if i gave it a try, i simply dont need it to. another example is, even if a bit cliche and overused by now, the spiked sounds characters make instead of voice acting, for me they are endearing, and dont bother me in any way.But what if a dev doesn't like that, and wants proper voiceover? Should they not be allow to use AI at all, even if it's just a temporary placeholder?
>>507539402In medieval times poisoning a drinking well was considered one of the worst crimes you could possibly do and was punished by extensive brutal torture (usually skinning alive + burning) and death. Using generative ai is polluting the well of all human creativity, expression, and beauty. You can't get your friends or your mom or even yourself to voice some lines for your shovelware garbage you care so much about? You're an embarrassment.
>>507538767where did you find this?
>>507539174what kind of games would you make together?
>>507539924looked up blender supportcool boomer uploaded a support vidI checked his channellast upload 4 years ago(rip)
I'm gonna do it I'm gonna DM marmo asking for a key
>>507539985we could make anything together, but its best to make small scope, high concept gamessomething you can sum up in a couple sentences...!
>>507539841Why do people like you never, ever consider that not everyone is a native English speaker and has relatives/friends that can actually speak English?
>>507540115How is that relevant in any way?
>>507538767>*gets a smooch*>uh... okay... merry Christmas... see you aroundliterally me
>>507540159You're genuinely low IQ if you don't understand. I don't know how else to help you.
>>507540259If you don't explain it you're genuinely low IQ
>>507539763sure, if they really really wanted to. i wont forbid another from it, and it should be generally allowed. but i wont interface with that media, because such a person rather wants to live in excess and gave up to break limitations in creative ways. its not like we are limited by our options nowadays, there are enough producers and consumers. i just hope that one day, people wont be review bombed because of ai use. those that dislike it, should just seek out other products and be quiet.
>>507540325Because your friends/relatives aren't gonna give a good performance, and even then, (You) will complain about "having to hear disgusting ESL barking", because that's what you're like. So this leaves English as the only viable option (unless your setting justifies using a different language) and they can't speak it. Can you give me a good dramatic acting performance in Swahili? Right now?
>>507540521Just have them do it in their own language and add English subtitles?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ0Vy_pOeZk
>>507538873Various 2D pixel art devs. Other art styles would be a no go primarily because I have no experiences devving games that are 2D handdrawn or 3D. I also can't pick devs within the 2D pixel art group that are just utterly incredible at gamedev since they clearly do not need to group up eg Acrolyte and Landsword devs. With that said, devs like Shadowed dev, Li'l Red dev, Daikon Creatures dev, Valoria dev, and Archtower dev. Only including anons who still seem to post. I'd say Necrovale dev but he clearly outclasses us with that work ethic and modest success lel. It's basically a rag tag team of people that individually lack something critical that may or may not be in their control which I believe affects their potential.
>>507539841>ruin the drinking well and die of bacteria and virusesvs>one AI boi surpasses your shitty drawingsdisingenuous faggot
>>507540734I already said that you are gonna be shitting on it for speaking in "disgusting foreign languages" considering what yoh already said. And your relatives and friends aren't likely to give a performance worth anything. In fact most of them might refuse because they just don't want to do it or some other reason. And, what if your setting doesn't justify them speaking in your native language? Someone like you would definitely complain about that. There's no winning with like you.
>>507541023exactly if i hear a indian speaking in a tutorial video i close the videoif the AI speaks english it sounds bad still, so use a different accepted language like japanese and add subtitles, the japanese voicelines are just extra noise but most dont know what actual correct japanese sounds like so they're less hesitant against it than english AI voices
>>507541023There are a lot of movies and games that take place in a setting that would speak language A but the characters speak language B so you're just making up a problem that isn't real issue.E.g.: In a movie about Jesus you usually don't hear he speak Aramaic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mgUPt2KI08
>>507541567>There are a lot of movies and games that take place in a setting that would speak language A but the characters speak language B so you're just making up a problem that isn't real issue.That's because these films are made by Americans, who make those films for the internal market.Also, comparing films to INDIE videogames? Seriously? From someone who said "games don't need voice acting"?
Some early Day progress, collision maps no on multiple Layers with better z-support for sprites/entities. Also found some bugs and unfinished-ness with input reading for non-letter buttons, so I'll handle that sometime later aswell.First I'll have to input the actual collision and refactor a bit.
>>507541678That's not something only Americans do also I didn't say that
>>507541757>Tomo ProgressThe World is Healing.
>>507541757は、は早い!
>>507540759I'm not including all the devs btw but there are more I'd consider. I'd say if I were to collab I'd want to be on a team of at least 4 people, 2 is simply too small and would require a good matchup on skills otherwise your fate may be similar as simply solodevving.
>>507537389They’re seething about being made irrelevant. AI effectively replaces the talentless hack artist. If you are so easily replaced by AI, your work must've been shit. And they are embarrassed that AI can draw Sonic vore porn better than they ever could. This embarrassment then translates into the broader anti-AI sentiment.
we've hit market saturation pointfind a new hobby guyslmao this guy>>>/v/698297393
>>507542581I refuse. I will succeed despite any saturation because my game development is pure.
i'm devvin on christmas
/agdg/ eggs
>>507538641>devs with similar interestsThis a huge problem, no one has similar interests to me.
>>507543009What are your interests?
>>507543208I like first person shooters and making virtual urban environments.
>>507543420>no one has similar interests to me.
can we make a game together? (in godot engine)
>>507543642I haven't seen anyone here make an FPS in an urban environment.
>>507543838monkey no see = does not exist = nobody shares my interests
>>507543420>3dAnd for that reason Im out. Cosmic Call, Ctesiphon, and Shanghai Gold might be worthwhile teammates
>>507543508sorry i deleted it.. i got a bit insecure about it. it wasnt for a game, ive worked on some others tho, although never dared to post on dd, i used to finish some games some years ago in small groups (just for an education), but they are all under my real name, so i wouldnt share it here.im currently trying to study some art and think through the core mechanics of the game again while in a slump about it. i sparsely post progress too. my current game is picrel (the last progress post i made like half a month ago).and sure.. i understand that finishing your current game takes priority, i wish you good luck. which project are you working on btw?
>>507543980Well I mean can you point to one?>>507544127The only one on there that's actually fitting is Shanghai Gold but I don't think he's looking for teammates and besides I don't like period piece settings that are that old.
>>507542568>>507544301i'm not the guy you were talking to but that gif you posted looked fantastic, i love the style, if you made more stuff like that people would love it, it has a lot of charm
>>507544301will you post this to demo day?I actually remember some art you posted a while ago.
After a difficult 7 hours of trying to get myself to start actually making some game today, at long last I have decided to just masturbate instead. Someone kill me please
Merry Christmas fags.My word of advice is, if you're in this for the money, quit now. You're an amateur and this is a hobby. If you want to make money in game development, you leech off of someone else who'll pay you a stable income.Don't place burden of financial stability on your passion project.
>>507544576I genuinely believe I will become permanently financially stable from my project.
>>507455837For a first person shooter what do you think is the best health system:- Heal instantly through level pickups (i.e. HL2)- Pickups but can delay use (press T to use syringe in combat or similar)- Partial regen together with one of the above- Full regenAnd why?
>>507544576You will not demotivate me, crab. Game development IS my jobby.

Merry Christmas, aggydaggy.Here's to another year!
>>507544787Why do you ask people on this? You need to have an idea on what you from your game and then decide off that what's the most compatible design idea.
>>507544770Erm, you were supposed to fall for my thinly veiled doompost?>>507544805You can't do that! You NEED savings to pursue your artistic vision, chud.
>>507545025maybe try next year when the spirits arent as high during christmas and new years resolution idiot
>>507545017I have an idea already but everybody has blind spots. Are you saying one should never take advantage of previous knowledge or the experience of others who might have done similar things?
>>507544301>i got a bit insecure about itUnderstandable.>but they are all under my real name, so i wouldnt share it here.Yeah no need to post them anon. Though the one you posted now also looks familiar.>which project are you working on btw?I think I'd rather mine improve more before I consider posting it. Lel I'm insecure about mine too.
>>507545105Good point, I'll post this on reddit, they're celebrating sciencemas there.
>>507545193I mean if you have a blindspot on a fundamental design flaw you might have a skill deficit. I'll tell you this. Think on what you want your game to be. Is it a fast shooter? Then choose what fits for a fast shooter. A slow one? Choose the option that will sloe you down. You want the pler to constantly move forward? Then don't bog them down with resources scouting. Go with your gut feelings
>>507538553>i dont care if somebody uses it, but i wont play itso you do care, otherwise it wouldn't factor into whether you want to play it or not
>>507544301your style and art looks great. as does your animations. i will say, judging from your webm, the gameplay is not very comprehensible.other than playing cards and 'things happen'.might be a good idea to playtest with someone and see if they understand the game. if you havn't already.
>AII dream of the day that a skilled 3-man team can create a hollywood level feature-length movie in 6 months.
>>507545391>design flawI meant design problem
>>507544490thanks.. but i get quickly demotivated to work on my own projects. working by prompts for others is nice, because i tend to trust others visions more than my own. i also only have experience in animation for pixelart outside of games. i did a lot of stuff for an art event. i thought about at some point making a cannibalism(child raising managing game, maybe with rooms being visible from the side and having those kinds of animations. picrel is some animation i made like 5 months ago, its a bit weaker, but i would maybe use such a style.. >>507544492no. i made some more art and added few features like switching between regions and transferring units, as well as an idea for how progress could work, but the game is in no state to be enjoyable, and has too little content in the form of events, its also very weird to play honestly.. im constantly thinking about dropping this game. im considering teaming up with a friend of mine, but our tastes are very dissimilar sadly..>>507545235i understand, hopefully ill see you your project one day here- good luck working on it
>>507545391>>507545681You're right thank you anon
>>507485523>huge team>1% programmers>70% visuals>29% soundIf you needed any more proof, there it is.
what is nortubel's day to day life like
my brain cant concentrate on one vague idea for more than 30 seconds
>>507546295proof solo dev can make a good game with premade art assets and sounds
You guys think I'm trolling but literally nobody boughted my game on the Steam sale.
>>50754767430 people have boughted my game this sale
>takes you to the future>points at your steam page>0 reviews, mostly negative
>>507547983Link to game?
>>507543208I like immersive games with cultural depth, convoluted and cumbersome control schemes and movement, grinding for resources you can hoard and leverage in combat, mundane activities and comfy places with interesting characters and activities.
>>507546598Reduce tiktok usage and work on letting yourself be bored.You brain will try to fill in the void with activities.When you brain seeks activities, give it gamedev.Eventually it will become habit and you won't have to force it as much.But you can't let instant gratification destroy your brain again.
>>507511161Dont give up at least its never too late for>crocodile faced milfs >>507532580
>>507545593thank you. and yes youre right, i should playtest it at some point with another individual, i fear one would get easily lost at the lack of pointers. the project is simply badly designed at the moment, but maybe i can fix that..
>>507529694>>507532580this game is gonna be porn, isnt it
>>507531132I am making textures. I had some KFC, gave presents, and got some presents too. It was fun.
>>507544576I'm unemployable, or at least I can't get an interview for any kind of job that I know how to do. Game dev is how I've been surviving for 9 years. My outlook is bleak but I have no choice.
>>507548597Genuinely how. Most people after devving for 9 years would have built a network of people who are in the industry, by simply existing on Twitter. Not to mention having a portfolio.
i was gonna godot but then i shitot myself and now i gotta redoit this is so sad can we just like make game
Ideas is hardest fucking thing in the gamedev, music, art, programming - it's just routine work. I have 70 pages in notion for my game just for mechanics/plot brainstorm and it's so fucking hard to find something that actually fun and interesting. This is why corporations are doing same slop over and over again just with bigger budgets, because creating a new ideas is insanely hard even for them.
New>>507549148
>>507544576Nah, I got my team that I trust. We are going to release our first game in 2026. We have jobs to keep us afloat in the meantime. I already managed to do a few things I never thought I would be able to. This will be no different.
>>507544576>work day job>work 4 day weeks so enough time for gamedev>make 50k from game(easy)>put deposit down on small home>mortgage repayments are less than rent>saving money from no landlord>own home in 20 years and won't get squeezed into oblivion by rising rentThe plan will work. I has to.
>>507548757Well it didn't turn out that way. I list my games in my resume and they're well reviewed and successful enough to make a meager living but I get no interviews. I don't know anyone in the industry and interactions with other devs on twitter is retweeting and liking each other's announcements. I do better than most of them anyway, and even if I knew them wouldn't help my games sell better.I should have tried harder to get any kind of job when I was younger. Tech support or cable monkey at a computer retailer or something.
>>507549109That's why corporations should just give me money and teams to dev my ideas.
>>507549109The thing with ideas is unless you've made a lot of games, you don't really know whether the ideas are viable and fun. And even if they are, that doesn't guarantee that the game you make will sell well, it just makes it more likely.
/agdg/ is onions
>>507549440They wasted $400M on Concord, imagine if they gave those money to everyone in /agdg/
>>507549569If I got notch or barone kinds of money I'd try something like that just for shits and giggles.
>>507546598Tyrosine, unironically
>>507549702Yeah you'd think someone like Notch would just fund random games as a joke.
>>507549440I watched this documentary on some guy in netflix who had a horrible track record but because of his connections they kept funding his multi-million dollar budget shows and moviespeople like that get chance after chance and nobodies like us with actual creative talent will never have their ideas see the light of day
>>507528295There is nothing wrong with Godot, it's a tool like any other. Use the tools that you need.Much like the rest of the software industries that aren't gamedev, it literally doesn't matter what you use - can you actually ship something without fighting your tools and without the user having friction trying to use your product?People make incredibly successful games on the gzdoom engine. It doesn't matter. Use the tools that you need.
>>507537389I have used AI in so many textures in my game and nobody has noticed whatsoever. If you put in even the smallest amount of effort making it an actual asset (using it as a base, painting over, color correcting, etc) instead of just slapping it in there however it comes out of the prompt, nobody can tell the difference.It's nice having my own concept art be iterated on a bunch by my computer and having 50 results in 5 minutes and not have to pay some furry that gives me 5 results in 3 weeks.
>>507528295please stop using Godot. I'm having great commercial success with it and so I don't want more competition.
