im settling in this thread because op isn't a streamerbait sellout
I just watched Angel Egg in imax (it looked like a bad cheap upscale)What game should I make?
>>547177578Well this was first and isn't fygoon or nortusmell, so it's fine
>>547177692>anime imaxwtf?that doesn't work unless you re-render from the original frames/film.Also make a JRPG
are you guys winning?
Does this exist here?(I can write and my compositions are quarter-decent enough to get the idea across)
_gui_input is bizarrely powerful.
>>547178728Me on the left
Ahem?
>>547178982I'd rather use Gemini.
>>547179092AI Chads just keep winning
>>547179160I meant I'd rather use Gemini to make my own engine instead of use fucking troonity
Today I added a main menu to the game, added the ability to craft logs and mushrooms into potions which you can then sell for coins to buy upgrades. Fixed the bug where you would get more than the intended amount of items per harvest and also changed the dirt sprites and grass to be on a singular sprite sheet instead of being individual sprites.

I don't know why but seeing the little elf girl get bonked on the head with a broken sword over and over again feels so satisfying for some reason.
Oi, picture this, yeah? Yer not some bleedin’ emperor or space-wizard, yer a grimy little punk band scrapin’ out tunes in mouldy basements, tryin’ to nick territory gig by gig. It’s a proper 4X, mate: expand yer fanbase, exploit dodgy promoters, exterminate rival bands with louder amps, and explore every back-alley venue from Camden to some dive that smells like old chips and despair.You level up by survivin’ bar fights, DIY-patchin’ yer gear, and convincin’ drunk locals you’re “the next big fing.” And the final boss? Some sell-out label exec tryin’ to turn you into radio-friendly mush innit
how do i get good at character design
>>547180169posse...
holy shit, I got the mistery. They're basically clones, the island is like a post apocalyptic island where they're are produced. This would explain why they have the ability to feel each other. They're like telepathic clones. The mistery is that they are produced once per every 3 years, and only if there's the number of 9.
>professor chudnovsky that can't be true because if it was something would happen within two weeks! such a small but cohencidentially powerful group of people couldn't do that!? You need evidence!Professor chud here, another reminder that steam hates you so much that not only do they take 30% but they refuse to help market your game meaning they'd rather see a goyveloper like you lose than see themselves richer.

>>547181432>cry every single day about steam taking 30%>balks at the mere suggestion of not using SteamLmao if you're not willing to say no to something you are weak and have no negotiating power. If you were willing to set up your own website and sell your game (which probably doesn't exist) I'd at least respect that, it'd show you have some kind of principles, but you don't. So shut up and pay the 30% and then thank gaben for letting you sell on his platform.
>>547183140It's just (You) farming he doesn't have a game. /v/ is calling him out in all his steamie melt threads too. It's obvious he spends his life ragebaiting with steamie and AI melties. Whenever he slows down here you can usually find him in another board carrying on.

Is there any market for my game genre? It will be an Immersive Sim that looks graphically like Gloomwood: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kYj46WGfo0M (with the exception that some environments are bright and beautiful because there's good parts of the world too) but it's Massively Multiplayer. yes don't tell me massively multiplayer is too hard I've already made two 100+ players per server multiplayer games, it's not hard to me anymore because the hard part was learning how and i already learned how.
>>547188443TLDR: Immersive Sim but Massively Multiplayer (but with ZERO similarity to an "MMORPG" (fuck those))
>>547188443I would play it.I would play it even harder if it was in a Deus Ex cyberpunk world tho.
>>547187725He was already getting views on youtube shorts not surprising. Another dev that gore spammer likes pocketwatching.
>>547188443Start with Pong.
I think I want the big mistery of the island to have that lost mystery, but I want to make it simple and even lame, but emotionally charged. Like the older girl knows the secret of the island, but she doesn't want to tell it. So she creates a legend to explain it. The younger girls learn it when they're younger and believes in it. The teens assume is just something that may not be real. The 23 old assumes is not real. The 35 old conspiracy assumes is the key to escaping that island. So she gets into a fight with her 45 year older one. The secret is the 2 tombs, she goes to visit. The younger ones are told those are the tombs of her parents. But, they're the door to open a sci fi lab, where the conspiracy one learns they're clones with hivemind that are the lost remmains of a lost civilization. The only thing the technology exist is to make them survive, but stay at a low number. This secret mentally breaks the conspiracy to become like the crone, because she realizes that nobody will come to save them. The crone just replied, I did not want to share the truth, because It will break you. The conspiracy one realizes that moment that there's not escape, they are the same person, but will make the same mistakes, over and over again. She realizes that the crone wasn't part of a big conspiracy, she was just trying to protect her from the truth.

Advanced game dev here (self labeled i guess lol). You should make your game as a series of libraries (or packages as Unity calls them), as opposed to a monolithic codebase representing "the entire game". Each with their own github repo (private not public unless you want that for some reason). Examples are your Input Library, your Physics Library (this is assuming you need to code physics yourself because you're not using a game engine, these are examples, but even if you're using something like Unity which covers this, you should make a package that wraps theirs, that adds your own functionality on top of it). Each of your libraries has it's implementation and a public API that makes it as easy to use for you as possible. Your game is then composed of each of your libraries, and these libraries are reusable for future games that's the biggest advantage. The advantage for composing your first game out of these libraries is the public API they provide is easier to deal with than interacting directly with the implementation after you've established what that implementation is.TLDR: compose your game out of a series of your own stand-alone libraries covering every aspect of your game
>>547191168examples: inventory library. combat library. item creation library. physics library. input library. netcode library. literally anything that can be compartmentalized into a stand alone library

Can I use a modular character asset to make my characters and not have it look like an asset flop? I can make armor and accessories in blender, but I don't have a knack for character modelling.

>>547194279yes but it's pretty sophisticated, you'll probably need to do something cheaper like lower poly, just a few shape keys, swapping face textures.That's already a lot of work for an amateur, and it isn't that modular/procedural nor is it very impressive.
Watched the vid, pretty inspirational. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0RcaCpIazc
im scared to make a game. it takes so long and i have bills to pay and a job. it would take at least 2 months to have a demo people would be interested in. 2 months is 1/480th of my remaining life (40 years). completing the game would take 6 months which is 1/160th of my remaining life. doing updates after release will surely make the game take up >1% of my remaining lifespan
>>547196339oh shit i fucked up the math its actually even worse. 2 months is 1/240ths of my life and 6 months is 1/80th (1.25%!) and doing updates after release will exceed 2% of my remaining lifespan
>>547196314Forge Industries really cost $100,000 to make?
>Have a path forward and everything>Just so fucking tiredHelppppp
do you guys think there's anyone online who would hire me for only $12/hour to help dev their game? i'm really good at coding. my only requirement is they need to be a team of 5+ people already. the benefit for them is i'll work for $12/hour for the first month then either let me help for a normal salary or fire me.
>>547196339damn thats crazy

Guys what does this announcement even mean? "Port Unity Games to Fortnite"? THE FUCK? I don't play Fortnite so this makes no sense to me. You play other games in Fortnite?
>>547193264I'll throw all my old game onto the fortnight store if it's free
>>547198526fortnite is basicaly roblox/gmod. There's a big server browser for a bunch of different shitty multiplayer minigames
>>547198526fortnight is the metaverse. roblox will follow suit
>>547198332I know you're retarded but if you were to actually ask any anon about your "schizo" they'd have no idea who you're talking about. Anons believe that the anti-Steam threads are made by Epic shills, CS:GO gamblers or other trolls.But I suppose your hindu IQ is too low to comprehend that a board with a bigger amount of users will have more trolls using Steam to bait people than a single general would. Sad!
>>547198526Epic wants to compete with steam, but nobody wants to download their shitty store, so now they are trying to force everyone to add their games to fortnite and turn that into a storefront.
chatgpt 5.1 is borderline unuseable for coding and i worry that 4o might be removed one day as previous versions werei'm thinking of switching to gemini, or any other modelit's hard to describe how terrible 5.1 is, response quality for code is the worst it's ever been
>>547198716I think this is less about EGS and more about maintaining the Fortnite gravy train. Fortnite has been losing to Roblox quite a lot as of recently, so I suppose Timmy Tim wants to save Fortnite by doing this and continue the money flow.
Bokube in Fortnite when?
>>547196758i have this issue as well, just take breaks, plan a schedule, eat healthy, get good sleep, and drink lots of wateryour biological health is a limiting factor in this manner
If only it were possible for a solo person to create a non-greedy game platform to compete with Steam/Epic/etc that takes like 5% from devs instead of 30% and uses that 5% for advertising the platform to gain new gamers

Why are gamers so hostile to AI assets? I am going to -need- to use AI Voice Acting in my game. Otherwise my game -CAN NOT BE MADE- because zero budget.
>>547178982>with AI you can achieve pretty much the same as a 8 year old Timmy on roblox
>>547199373Because you're not a big-budget AAA studio charging $40 for there games

I'm here to tell you that getting attention on the internet is harder than its ever been. I remember how easy it was for me to get 25,000 followers in 2011. I was (semi) famous once. No I won't tell any of you who I am. Only 1 in 200 of you would know anyway. I then made a shitty game and made $600,000 on steam. It was all SO FUCKING EASY BACK THEN.Seeing what a dystopian wasteland the modern internet is is depressing
Remember anon, gamers want slop. They CRAVE slop. If you're thinking about making a gourmet game stop right now!
>>547201223But I also think modern social sites are gatekeeping my audience away from me because every social site requires you to tell them how old you are and then tries to force you into only seeing content "other people your age liked" and interacting with other people your age. My audience is teens and early 20s and I'm late 30s. It literally won't let me reach my audience because of the gay ass algorithm. It won't show my account to the right audience because of the age gap.
>>547201257This but unironically
>>547198980Roblox runs on those $30 smartphones you can get at the dollar store. Fortnite is never going to attract those people unless they employ some serious tech wizardry.
>>547196836What about working with anon on a really small game for free, but the final game is paid (cheap for the sake of getting your name out there) and you split the revenue, and then go from there?
>>547199582>The shitposting will intensify and continue until you buy and review my game.sent ;^)
I'M SLOPPING
>>547201223>getting attention on the internet is harder than its ever been>No I won't tell any of you who I amHuh....
Game Platforms like Roblox, Fortnite, Garry's Mod, and whatever others idk, try to make it so "anyone can make a game" with "no code" on their platform thingy. But this is a mistake. Someone should make a Roblox/Garry's Mode/Fortnite type highly moddable "make your own games here" platform thingy, but you NEED TO CODE IT LIKE A PROFESSIONAL. The benefits of this are two fold:>Games will be fewer but they'll be better>???I forgot. Back off the to mental institution for me.
>>547201532i wish you luck but my primary motivation is to make enough money to survive on while not leaving my room, while also not being qualified for any work from home job. not any real passion for game dev
>>547201625They have these; they're called game engines
>>547179370
>>547201625Also any corporation should be banned from making games on the platform. Individuals only. Gamers would love that. Roblox is being -destroyed- by corporations making games there now and taking opportunities from all the little kids. It's insane.
>>547202215It wasn't always like this. I used to play roblox in 2013-2016 and back then any shmuck could still make a game and get famous. I managed to get 400k plays with 0 effort on one of my games.Before me it was even easier, I wager.

>>547202363Yeah. I was there. I believe now if you aren't a corporation/company, you are NOT making a popular game on Roblox. I very much believe most of the alleged "regular people" making games on there are secretly corporations.

I have an idea for a new sport game. Zero G Tennis. It's not actually tennis at all as far as the rules go but it's 200 years in the future and it's played inside a giant spherical force field 4 players vs 4 other players (online) and they fly around wacking the ball and whoever wacks it outside the force field without the other team wacking it again before it leaves the force field, scores a point.Also there's random wolves in jetpacks that just attack anyone

>>547207542>they'll destroy your game's potential and review bomb it etcThey'll also buy your game and make you successful though.Peripeteia and Metal Garden are case in point.

>>547208347bro puts more effort generating slop than working on his game
>>547207865alright. Mirrors not horrible it'll do the job but FishNet and PurrNet are objective upgrades.
Rate my idea. It's barely a game, but it's a gambling game. I make a website, it streams NPC vs NPC fights from various popular fighting games. You bet on which character will win. You get the money of the side who was wrong. You bet using solana. crypto gambling website. is it likely to make me $1000/month profit? that's the amount i need to never leave my room again
And daylight version done
>>547208772btw there was once a highly successful website that did nearly this exact same thing called saltybet and it only let you bet with fake money. its lost 99% of its popularity now though
>watching from the sideline Randy Pitchford fuck your life's workTrue cuck behavior
>>547208874also saltybet still made millions of real dollars for the dev by selling $5/month subscriptions that give you analytics/etc so you can bet more accurately with your fake money. none of it makes any sense to me yet it worked.
made a youtube channel for my indie game dev studio, time to build an audience
>>547209057I'm sure hopoo is real sad about it, sitting on piles of cash and "working" (read: do nothing) at Valve.I'd sell my game to Gearbox in a heartbeat if it meant getting enough to retire.
>>547209097Just hire an e-girl with massive boobs and pretend she's the dev
>>547208842I'm a little confused about the orientation here, get the feeling that I am looking up in this view.
>>547209153Sure if you're completely broke it would make sense. Hopoo was already rich. Imagine selling your life's work to THIS retard
it made me a cap kek that feature is kind of pointless though.
>>547177578>>547178265heh, thank you. i used to make threads like this a few years ago, i hope to try to catch some more in the future if i can to showcase some more agdg progress videos
My game is not about killing people. Everyone you kill will have a name and a face and will die in gruesome and uncanny ways which evoke feelings of horror. The combat will be terrible and unenjoyable. You'll grow to hate killing and war. The only solace you will find is talking and making connections with your NPC allies
>>547209294>Sure if you're completely broke it would make sense. Hopoo was already rich. Imagine selling your life's work to THIS retardMoney is money, it doesn't smell. If you have a chance to enrich yourself always take it.

>>547211261>Be honest with me, does this look too hard for first level's obstacle? Should i tone down the cars?having done many years of play testing, it is likely the case. Try and use the super mario 1-1 method. Introduce mechanic in a fail safe way, then allow the player to over come a challenge in the most simple way possible and then after that you can add challenge.
>>547211590I never use hastag on twatter in my entire life. Hell, my twatter was originally for surfing and lurking vtuber fan arts only, and it was made a year ago.The only open social media i ever use is unironically this site

>>547213345the gulf between $0 and $1 is bigger than between $1 and $10.but I don't see this as streamerbait because it looks and plays very conventional.
So let me get this straight. First, Schizo Betz puts a footnote at the bottom of his site saying that he now owns every game that is submitted to his shitty show, next he tries to scam everybody here by promising free comet browser, and now he's saying you have to PAY to be in his no views show????I think it's time we finally ask the question, what is the final solution to the Betz problem?

Game development is all about the satisfaction of seeing somebody genuinely enjoy your gameIt's a real confidence booster
https://streamable.com/fgxjxbhere's how my game sounds so far, I stole the sounds from gamebanana
>>547209153Nta but hopoo was already rich. I dont see much reason to selling your ip once rich. I wouldnt be surprised if notch seethes about minecraft being sold off. Look at him clamor to "im making a game!" Nah bruh, go back to your mansion of loneliness, he tossed his creation to the side for the excuse of "im sick of working on it!" Sound familiar? It should hopoo used a similar excuse. Like they never heard of the concept of putting something aside for later.

Expanding your financial safety net through ANY means necessary is always a good idea. And incel soys being mad about you not working on a game on the internet is not worth worrying about
>>547217393It's still more popular than your game will ever be.
>>547216534>>547217393FUUUUCK it looks too similar to one of my ideas
>>547225035My game exists in the immaculate mind-palace of my sublime imagination. Untrammeled and uncompromised by the compromises of implementation. It is the purest form of game. For the next 100,000 years my descendants will be able to play my game through their Aryan genetic memory. Where will your game be then?
Do people care about western made VNs that aren't lewd? Thinking I wanna lean into that route since I'm a better artist than coder or musician.
>>547202629depends on how many instances of the bush you gonna have...its fine to have higher poly near the camera
>>547225552Sure... if you can make it look like Dispatch or Disco Elysium. As previously covered western anime is a death sentence.
>>547225552Google Doki Doki Literature Club, Slay the Princess and The Coffin of Andy and Leyley.
>>547216534This game is pretty good. I expect mild success once word of mouth and final version go around

Is Gemini 3 the best for coding now?
>>547226921what about the success of anime gachaslop?i think the issue is animedevs suck at marketing
>>547216534>"good art"wooow i wonder why nobody bought iti wonder why gamers don't like my chibi kawaii ugu desu japcrap sugoi baka gaijin pearl harbor little gyarus, oh no fucking uhhh ohhh ganbatte Gaben-san...
>>547227163The best for coding is that thing inbetween your ears.I think they call it a brain.
>>547227163yes, it's also free
>>547227104but they wont fail because of looks or gameplaythey will fail for the lack of marketing
>>547227194gachaslop is bought by gachasloppers. i. e. sick people with gambling addiction. not normal gamers. Normal gamers make fun of gacha/anime all day longalso they have 1000 times bigger budget for anime and marketingthis appears to be an actual video game, it's just that every character is a discount Ramlethal in safe horny clothingis it fun to play, also? that's an important part, art can't carry a game unless it's at least mediocre in terms of fun
Anime styled games can be successful but it must be done right. Pic related. I'd make an anime game but I need a lot more skill than I have.
>>547227228wow did you think this up all by yourself? impressive use of your brain! clearly a high IQ too
>>547226654Fair enough, but I don't have enough game to sell it yet so I'm releasing a free demo for nowHopefully that gets people on board for the paid full release later
>>547226890Too many...
>>547227459Almost as intelligent as someone asking agdg for tool recommendations instead of researching it themselves.

how do you go from indie game dev to a monster, unstoppable AA studio?
>>547227449That's an AAA gacha game made by an AAA studio, are you ragebaiting or just retarded?
>>547227758Do what Hollow Knight and Hades did I guess?
>>547227758you cant, gabencunt kneecaps your income so you can never justify a loan to start a studio back in the 90s one successful game would make you enough to start a studio for a few years, even a shitty unknown eurojank game was enough to fund thatnow all that money goes to fatfuck gabencunt's yacht fund, the entire thing is so fucking jewish
>>547226325Anime drawn by a westerner. Instantly recognizable because it sucks, most shit looks like it was made by someone who spends 90% of their time drawing porn commissions like >>547216534.>>547227449Yes anime styled games CAN be successful. Posting an example of ones made by actual japanese/chinese professional artists and has AAA marketing probably isn't making the case that agdg should attempt it.

>>547227979I don't mind this. I don't mind people benefitting from my labor. I enjoy working. Working hard feels good. Being productive feels good. It feels much better than sitting around doing nothing. If it possible for Jews to enjoy leisure as a result of my labor, I don't see an issue. I hope my work can help as many people as possible. It is the mark of a man to struggle for others. Hopefully the Jews can provide assistance in other ways. Maybe handling logistics, or doing mental work. Give me a hammer and an object to destroy. I am the machine. Am I a golem? Maybe. Regardless, I exist. I will make use of my existence.

>>547217393I disagree, if you look at DD sure there are a few tranime coomers (it was bound to happen being on /vg/) but majority of games ares till just jank or boomercore. You're taking the unemployed bocchi troon shitposts too seriously instead of looking at actual /agdg/ games.

>Literally not even one game in history from agdg has had any success ever.You would have to be a dullard to take advice from any post here seriously. You would be 10x more successful doing the exact opposite of what any post here says. Rule of thumb always do the opposite of what agdg says. If agdg says its bad, its actually good.

>>547228868Probably.

>>547228720
I woke up.I have now an amazing rpg maker story.The story is that you're plank from ed, edd and eddy and is the POV of the story, but is a wood plank.Then, you're created by 3 young girls.The story is basically a family sit com like malcom.But they're clones of the same girl, who are a hivemind emotionally and can feel each other pain and pleasure.There's 6 batches of 3 girls at diferent ages, who do diferent shit like rick and morty.Eventually the story is about one of the older ones, becoming schizo.She start getting information about the island, and why they're the same girl, with shared emotion and pain.This schizo girl will get into a fight with the older crones that govern the land.The big plot twist is that they're clones made by the island factory of a long lost ancient technology.The ending is she realizing nobody will come to save them, so she just becomes mentally a crone.The ending is basically the older crones tell her, they tried to keep that secret because it will shatter their little society apart, so keeping that secret is a huge part of becoming a crone.So the conspiracy girl realizes that all this time they were protecting her, but also she knows that they also were at some point also conspiracy ones.She also understand they all commit the same mistakes, so is just a cycle they all have been doing since forgotten times.There's not escape, they all will be doing the same story for ever, in a big cycle.That's the secret of the island.

>>547229576too much effort, just hide games with low revenue so the quirk slop doesn't accidentally pick of hype
>>547229530Makes sense judging from the post quality lmaoMost people here seem to be shitposting nodevs who have no game or skills to make a gameMakes sense they'd want to tear down the devs who actually make good gamesI still post here so there is one more reasonable person in these generals
>>547229613obviously, they never stopped existing, they just got drowned out by the slop masslearn marketing and you can reach these people and sell real video games to them
I find it funny how gamers shit on this guy for being a retard who can't understand games yet 90% of them are exactly like him, refund and say the game is shit because they couldn't figure out the controls (which are in the options menu)
>>547229921make a better game
>>547229689>too much effortGod forbid the multibillion dollar corporation does any real work.
>>547217049Is that really your take away? People don't like nazi aesthetic? That's why aniwars...didn't sell well? People do like it. It's baddass. You don't have to be a nazi to like fashion. Loser.
>>547230053from their perspective, it was much more efficient to just hide games that don't make enough moneyif you want exposure on steam, convince people to buy your game firstthey don't give free money to russian scammers any morehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/776340/Gay_World/shit like this was flooding the store, they fixed it very easily
>>547228660Anime games in general have a tendency to underperform despite being well-received by the small number of people who like that shithttps://youtu.be/g4lhQp245dw?si=TkEQrC7IEsUJf_y6&t=348at this timestamp he investigates the highly rated but under-performing games and it's just exactly the type of shit agdg likes. He even explicitly mentions an actual (non-anime) agdg game Fight Knight randomly a minute later when talking about 'games that look like shit'It is a damning video.
>>547229836I don't think it's obvious at all that a game as ugly as that, which looks more like a config file, would sell as well as it did.
im surprisingly motivated todayi think i unironically have bpd, my emotions dont make sense sometimesi dont wanna get it confirmed cause i wouldnt get any benefit (male) out of it
>>547230195They could've simply raised the fee to $500 without screwing over indie development and causing the market to go full cancer.
>>547230302but out of the five billion people who use the internet on a daily basis, i'm not surprised there are enough people who would find that sort of game interesting if it had an effective marketing strategymost devs here seem to severely underestimate the power of proper marketing efforts
>>547230217It looks like low budget slop with premade assets. Which usually screams uninteresting mechanics, gameplay, and art. Like if someone took all the assets of Final Fantasy tactics, remade it, but made it way heckin harder and challenging, I wouldn't give a shit and assume it's trash. That might just be me but when I see uninspired anime slop I assume the game is uninspired.
>>547230474what effective marketing did that game have?
>>547230381that wouldn't work>>547230646you go figure it out
>>547230217Yeah we know that, troons and homos are 1% of the total population yet make a lot of noise. But I don't think /agdg/ makes anime game, it comes from tourists and the schizos posting that pink haired girl with cringe posts every single day here that might skew your perception.
>>547230742>you go figure it outExactly, you have no idea. Marketing is extremely overrated, especially for games that look like this. I seriously doubt they ran any marketing campaign to dress up that garbage looking game play. It likely sold because word of mouth spread that it had badass game play logic and served an underserved autistic market.
>>547228749There is a paradox at work here, where the people who persist in arguing in the thread are exactly the ones you shouldn't listen to.Consider this: do you think Hopoo or YOMIHustle dev actually spend their time arguing with anons here about what makes a good game or what sells? No, it's a waste of time for them, they already have proof that their methods work by being rich as fuck. Hopoo especially had repeat successes which shows it wasn't just a one time luck thing. Then who's left arguing in the thread? The people with no successes to their name, who are not actually trying to convince you, they're trying to convince themselves, they're deeply insecure and the only way to cover that is to drown any other opinion other than theirs and get the last word. They need some form of validation that they're on the right track, and it starts with convincing everyone else first. So yeah don't take what anyone says here seriously, not even me.
>>547177228Guys gemini has a $300 in credits campaign if you're from a first world country and sign up for an API account without paying anything right now, idk how long it's gonna be there.
>>547230814What do you mean? I agree that's why I'm not working on an anime game
>>547231019or just use AIstudio for $0
>>547231016i only have no idea because i haven't looked into it, but the reliable trend is that successful games that lack mass appeal were successfully promoted to viable audiencesgo do research on this example to see if you can find anything at all about this game online
>>547230814>But I don't think /agdg/ makes anime game, it comes from touristsPretty sure Marmo was posting here before your newfag ass was.
I'm attempting to get powersliding to work. I'm not really convinced.
>>54723038110k fee imo. Would immediately make all the devs second guess putting their game on there. Imagine the post mortems from devs who thought they were built different and gave 10k only to get <10 reviews.
>>547230304BPD is more about your relationships with others than your emotions. Like it does have a component of overreacting to (perceived) rejection and feeling a bit shitty about yourself but if you're doing something by yourself and you're feeling huge mood swings then it's probably not BPD.And yes BPD is treatable with DBT and just maintaining positive relationships with others. Most people in my experience grow out of BPD as they get older and the ones who don't usually have a comorbidity like bipolar/schizophrenia/NPD ontop.
>>547231384>how to kill inde dev completely
>>547231016Nta but this is likely the main way it sold word of mouth. Probably shared on obscure forums
Small progress again, enemies move around a little bit more now. Besides that I made it so the whole map can be drawn in an image with enemies, start/exit point and decals. It's not perfect but for now it's good enough. I may want the enemy entities more fleshed out later.Also, not really sure how to keep the mp4 size small enough without scaling down more and more, but I can't be arsed to find a better solution.
the more i use ue5 the more im convinced triple a devs are doing something retarded, nanite and lumen seem to run perfectly fine in my scenes on my midrange gpu (4070) without upscaling. is it because they just download 8k quixel textures for everything or some shit?
>>547231613>midrange gpu (4070)
>>547231462Good then I shall succeed solely because I can afford to pay $10k. The huge marketing boost from not compering against so many games would be worth it. You still need a decent enough game tho but at least not as great when there are so many more games.
>>547231665thirdie?
>>547231342it just looks like you're turning normally tbdesu. maybe try lowering the "friction" of your movement a bit?
>>547231278Nobody's undervaluing marketing here, dumbass. Everybody here was saying for years that "marketing is the only thing that matters because with it you can even sell a shit game" when retards like you began spouting that only good games automatically sell. The problem with marketing is that it's not a solved problem. Not even the biggest corporations in the world like McDonalds or Apple have it figured out, that's why the continue to spend billions on it. Marketing is heavily skewed towards those with a budget, and if you are a solodev, with no (meaningful for marketing) connections or money it's a crapshoot for you. That's what's bothering everyone, not that you have to market at all, and that's why some just give up on it entirely.
>>547231305Then you'd be wrong. I remember when zerb started posting here, you call him marmo now btw.
>>547231526https://nws-online.proboards.com/board/35/rule-waves-3it seems to have a pretty strong presence on a naval warfare simulation forum, that could explain the community it appealed to
>>547231665i mean i spent 500 on it 2 years ago. its more than entry level stuff but its not exactly top of the line. granted ive also spent the last few weeks actually looking into how to properly use nanite and lumen which i dont think a lot of triple a has actually done. lumens surface cache is a very important optimization factor
>>547231695>Good then I shall succeed solely because I can afford to pay $10k.
>>547231768skill issue, just learn virality
>>547230304you're prototyping cosmic call 2?
>>547231964When theres less than 400 games releasing every year on steam that gives great visibility on the store front. Like the other anon said, with so many people there are bound to be those who like it. Then it becomes word of mouth marketing.
>>547231236That sounds horrific, I use my mic to tell AI what to do from my IDE, I only use AIstudio for my side hustle (tts).

Is it common for people to "underestimate" games made by a nobody? Like, in a mainstream game people will spend time looking at a lot of flavor text. But they just assume there won't be flavor text there so they don't even try to look?

>>547232229>shorts
>>547231768I undervalue marketing unless your game has really good art, or really good game play. If you are relying on autistic gameplay I don't see what marketing is going to do. "Oh boy I want to spend 100 hours learning to build a fleet, can't wait, that commercial got me hyped!"
>>547232358https://youtu.be/0049T4RB-xghere's a video you'll find relatable in 5 years when your attempt at a gamedev career failed because you were too ignorant to take advice from successful people
>>547232358He's also posting e-celebs astroturfed by the same talent agency, which just simply directly bribes YouTube to push their shit. He's clearly not the smartest one around, but that's expected of steamies.
>>547232492
>>547232275Kind of.When I play an indie game (especially a non VN one) I assume from the get go that the story and writing is going to be garbage.I expect utilitarian writing at best.And I don't think that's necessarily an unfair assumption either. Like if you're talented enough to program a game and make all the visuals etc etc then it's pretty unlikely that you also had the time to get good at writing.
>>547232275They might. I usually cringe when I see a trailer and they mention it was made by a single dev. The only way that works is if your game is literally genius. And then people will think you're a genius and then your genius becomes a marketing thing. But if your game is just a good game but nothing ground breaking, then I would just say it's indie and let it be, or don't mention it at all. Just my nobody opinion.
>>547232507you mean recruited by talent agencies after achieving organic success through stringent A/B testing, going from 1m views per video to 100myou're just ignorant and want to do things you way, which is fine, but don't expect to be successful
>>547232492you just want to post ecelebs cause you mentally ill, you have no game your a nodev and indian
>>547231815Oh cool, then you also remember Nakama Online, Catmouth Island and other anime devs from those time right?I even saved pic related from AGDG in 2013 or 2014, so why play the fool?
>>547232492>>547232746kek retard
>>547232746>stringent A/B testing, going from 1m views per video to 100mThe famous a/b testing from mr beast who went viral because the algorithm randomly picked up his "counting to 100k" video. Clearly lots of thought was put into it.Funny how you also immediately shift the focus to e-celebs like Ludwig or Mr. Beast, who have nothing to do with gamedev either way.
>>547232610Interesting... That's gotta be something I ask playtesters about. I know some of em think the writing is humorous, but is it "good"? I'm doin my best here>>547232627Yeah that makes sense, if you're going to make it as a solo dev then your name becomes known, and your name becomes the marketing. Like Tony Fox.
