>uhm, did you just use a heckin' red cross? That's against Le Geneva convention!
PROGRESS ANCHOR
Croissantpost.Hopefully it'll be an uneventful day today.I owe 12.5 hours of work to my game. I suppose I could just wipe the slate clean because what's my game gonna do, break my kneecaps? But that would be letting productivity standards slip uncontrollably and I could end up not working on my game for even an hour a day. So it's 12.5 hours.
My game started out as a colony simulator and moved on to a medieval RPG life simulator.
>>557376185why are so many developers so much in love with medieval settings? specifically Hollywood influenced and mostly ahistorical European middle ages. it's like it's used specifically because it's presented so boring and drab that any story set in it will seem interesting by contrast.
Trying to unfuck ceo face.
>>557376421What historical eras do you want to see?
>>557375538This rule is retarded. I don't see movies getting into trouble for using red crosses
>>55737655819th century europa or americuntia
>>557376421Because most game devs, especially indie ones, are all sheltered geeks and nerds. They have a mental breakdown at anything related to reality, and don't have much life experiences to draw from, which means sci-fi and medieval (usually it's also fantasy) are so common, as they allow "escapism" and they let you get away with bad world building and writing easier.It's also why period pieces and contemporary settings are so rare in gaming. Very few devs are willing to make a game set in modern times or during any of the Cold War periods (which are the most kinoest settings btw, this is scientifically proven fact)
>>557376421it's just inbreeding
>>557376558none specifically. I'm just commenting that medieval western europe chainmail and swords (useless against most armor btw) and straw roofed houses are so played out that literally anything else is free real estate.
>>557376421A pre-industrial setting means your game doesn't devolve into gun slop. You get knights, chivalry swords, armor castles and kings, and a world where travel is difficult and dangerous because you can't just hop in a car or a plane, and the woods could be full of whimsical creatures and bandits. And that's before you even add any magic or mythical elements. Industrial society is the anomaly and an imposition on the human spirit. We were not meant to live like we currently do. How soulless someone must me to not enjoy or understand the appeal of a pre-industrial setting

>>557377143>little bitch is afraid of gunsLmao, and you fucking post Kaczynski, the retard who built bombs?
>>557377165>boobs stay sameyou don't know what gamers want
>>>/v/732983448disgusting gamercunts are once again celebrating being disgusting cheapskates, and they think buying your game 90% off on a sale 3 years later is supporting you.gabencunt made them this way btw
>>557377186Technically firearms and explosives were available in the 14th century, they just weren't as practical or as accessible as other options.
Since last time I got palette swaps working programmatically. No more needing to go into an image editor to swap colors anymore.
>>557376504sorry for AI but.. I heard AI is good for fixing bugs
>>557377475Which means I'm back to working on weapons and equipment again starting with Iron. Not sure yet thematically how it escalates (Steel? Mithril? Something else?)
>>557376504I don't think your outline effect is helping but you need more loomis and reps drawing simpler 3D shapeseven >>557377542 is kind of a bad result
>>557377475>>557377727Terraria if 3D? Looks cool.
>>557376421More specifically, it's medieval fantasy setting akin to CRPGs like BG or JRPGs like Elin.The stereotypical DnD type setting feels very familiar, is already expanded (meaning less creative work for me) and just feels home-y.>>557377106>and swords (useless against most armor btw) Against armored opponents, swords were used to find gaps or weaknesses in an enemy soldier's armor.
>>557377143pre-industrial settings are great but a "medieval" setting invariably means western Europe during the crusades. like why not have setting in the 6th or 7th century in North Africa? or pre-Roman Britain? or 12th century BC in the Mediterranean when a bunch of cities got wiped out and historians are still arguing over what happened. and that's all firmly European influenced in case you find other cultures icky.
>>557377952You could also do your own culture like how CD Projekt Red made The Witcher Poland-influenced
>>557377919>Against armored opponents, swords were used to find gaps or weaknesses in an enemy soldier's armor.sure but if two armored guys faced each other, they'd hit each other with picrel until they gave each other concussion.
>>557378093it's still Hollywood Medieval Europe. picrel is what put me off the game, it's like the first location they put you in.
where are the ice age warrior games rpgs?
>>557378221Yeah to be fair my example wasn't good but The Witcher is a mix of alot of things kinda likes TES. Also I realized it's not even an original setting. It was based on a novel.
>>557376504how are these suggestions as ref? idk your stance on AI as ref
>>557378125War hammers are shorter range and are inferior against unarmored infantry. In the end, it's a matter of personal preference and a matter of knowing what you're more likely to encounter on horseback.If I am about to face an enemy knight formation, I'll obviously bring out a mace.If I am about to face an archer formation, I'll probably bring out a sword. In fantasy settings, wild animals and monsters don't have armor in the traditional sense, making swords the superior choice for an all-rounder solution.
>>557378989I'd use a bow/crossbow if I can, a polearm if it's too close for bow and a mace if it's too close for a polearm. I wouldn't care too much about cutting someone open. leaving them alive and screaming with a broken hip and caved in chest is just as good, maybe their pals will want to help them instead of going for me.no, I'd actually run away from any fight where my victory is not assured.
>>557377223fixed
>>557380023the chibi models are no more?
>>557378818I would prefer an explanation of what I fucked up as it is more actionable to better my drawing skill.
>>557380524nta I found the chibi looked more intentional, compared to current proportions which look strange
>>557380596start with drawabox and actually do the line confidence drills, then move on to learn the basics of coloring and shading so things don't look like a muddy mess, learn gesture drawing so you stop drawing sameface samepose, then you can move on to basic anatomy
>>557380803>start with drawaboxline confidence drills is really good, and azur won't get stuck in the beginner trap of drawabox because he's working on game art at the same time. adding a little bit of stabilizer to simulate paper friction on your tablet will help too. shape appeal is important too, and not covered by many if any artbooks. a lot of the shapes in your work look choppy and "ugly". this video explains it better than I can without a visual guide..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6yJO9gKSAI
>>557382631>>557380803I mostly dev as a hobby, for drawing, I mostly work by objective, for this project, my main objective is to stop using tracing. (Which is why my face fell from a cliff).
>>557383564https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs5ecTs5NU8
Imagine if someone told you with 100% certainty that your success is guaranteed, all the positive reception you imagined about your project will actually come to pass. (The person is either from the future or using magic, either way it's completely factual).Would that change your daily lifestyle in any way? Would you keep doing the exact same things you do right now or would you do something different? If I knew my success was guaranteed I think I would do things differently a bit, I wouldn't waste so much time procrastinating, doomscrolling or arguing on social media, I'd try to get my sleep schedule fixed, go to sleep exactly at 10-11 and wake up at 7-8 and get as many hours on my project as I reasonably can.So maybe that's actually the key to success, gaslighting yourself that you're going to be successful and actually falling for it, so you can change your life to self-fulfill the prophecy?
>>557385343Good post.
>>557385343I would dislike it. The struggle and the fear of failure is what make the success worth it.
>>557375604kys pedophile
>>557385343huh? but I know it will not, and I did eat breakfast this morning.
>>557385343>So maybe that's actually the key to success, gaslighting yourself that you're going to be successful and actually falling for it, so you can change your life to self-fulfill the prophecy?I pretty much had the same thought the other day. but I don't know how to do that. I'm quite aware my game lands in the 50-100 review range if I'm lucky, and 200-500 if I'm really really lucky.
>>557385343You can't be posting this at 4:30 am on Valentine's day dawg (Ily bro)
>>557385486Okay but it's only your first success that is guaranteed. Wouldn't you want to get it out ASAP so you can enjoy life in better conditions with passive income while working on the next one? Like placing a resource generating building in a strategy game early in the game and not later.
>>557385343funny how for most devs here earning as much money as they do at their wagie job they'd consider their game a success. and yet the wagie job is basically a guarantee of success (you work X hours, you get paid X*Y money) but they see it as some kind of life tragedy they're forced to endure.
>>557385998Wagie job feeds the stomach but not the soul. Game dev feeds the soul but not the stomach.Success is managing to feed both at once.
>>557386246the soul is fed by having a loving woman and family by your side.
the memes write themselves at this point
>>557380596Artlet here, please feel free to disregard this post itself.In these images, the thick outer outline basically never goes into the hair, and the thickness of the outer outline never varies:>>557376504>>557380596>>557383564In these images, the reverse tends to hold:>>557201710>>557201903>>557378818>>557377542
Goat people are race supremacists, and will demand you pay them taxesPeriodically, they send their knights to your colony to collect. You can disobey them, but they will turn hostile.
>>557385998those devss don't just want money. They want proof of agency, evidence that their specific existence matters, that they aren't interchangeable. a wagie job actively works against this feeling. you're replaceable by design. a sucessful game is proof that your particular mind produced something the world wanted
>>557386497yeah, he didn't actually draw the outline, just used a layer effect. would be better actually drawing it and varying it, using it to reinforce forms(thicker under them etc)
>>557386547that's such a spoiled undeserving attitude to have. it's like a 5'3" woman wanting a 6'4" guy just because. if you're given the historically unprecedented opportunity to turn half of your waking time into a comfortable life, that should be enough.
>>557375865this is a fygoon post
>>557386497The outline is to differentiate the character from the background. I didn't put much thought in it>>557386547Making your hobby your main work is the best way to fuck your enjoyment of it.
>>557386813Wanting a tall guy is demanding something from someone else. Wanting to create something meaningful to the world is demanding something from yourself. These aren't comparable. One is entitlement. The other is ambition.
>>557386989>Making your hobby your main work is the best way to fuck your enjoyment of it.for some that is true. not sure what percentage that is true for.
>>557377283"gamers" should not be your target audienceeither be a hobbydev and make a game 100% for you, or be a jobbydev and make games designed for the most profitable audience, professional adults looking for relaxing gaming experiences to play when they're tired after a full day of worktrying to appeal to "gamers" is madness, they are never satisfied, they must be beaten into submission by autistic hobbydevs making obscure passion projects with a "git gud or you're a loser" psychological profile, see factorio or dwarf fortress, or, to an extent, mount & blade, and you must rely on the content creators they watch to promote the game through word of mouth contentthis is the only way to appeal to the "gamer" audiencethese people must be bullied
>>557377952Plenty of those settings exist. Probably the reason they're so prevalent is Tolkein's influence on fantasy.
>>557387012it's about never being satisfied about what you have never mind how good you have it. I mean sure, strive to do/live better but being depressed because you sit at a desk for 8 hours a day 5 days a week and in return you live in what most humans in history would have considered a magical palace and you get from place to place in a magical chariot or a magical airship is what I'd call entitlement.
>>557387564>satisfied aboutesl moment, I meant satisfied with
Why didn't biteme make a real game instead of asset flips with zero marketability? They had multiple staff and multiple years but they wasted it.
if I make a virus that makes people download and open my game then billions will play my game and the nodev schizos on /agdg/ will tell everyone about how it's the most popular game of all time and everybody loves it
>>557386989Is it just me, or do the characters seem to be much lower resolution than most of the background?
>>557387564But experiences don't exist in a vacuum, it doesn't really matter if the feelings are the same. Call it entitlement if you want but I'd be curious where you would draw the line
>>557388318accept that half of our waking time not being ours to enjoy is about what we're entitled to expect from life.
>>557386989>The outline is to differentiate the character from the background. I didn't put much thought in itI'm not sure what the best approach would be. Maybe a thinner outline? I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase.
>hundreds of fields of math>ever field has hundreds of subfields>every subfield has tens of thousands of tables and formulaswtf and mathematicians are just supposed to memorize all of these? I'll be too old to make video games by the time I do that
>>557388426no. I refuse. The system is poorly designed(for me), I found a system that suits me better.
Anybody here actually use Unreal?
>>557388493No, there's a big difference between being a student and being a professional inside and outside of academia. You're not expected to memorize everything but you're expected to scaffold your gaps in knowledge so you can work from references. How it used to work was a few students followed a mentor around and wrote papers, each of them becoming additional experts in the field.But that's obviously not a scalable solution so they started giving out diplomas and formalizing tests. In recent times a diploma is akin to a proof of apprenticeship producing working professionals, but academia was never designed explicitly for this purpose.So you have an institution in place that is supposed to evaluate thousands of students every year and so the most scalable solution is to test students ability to memorize and apply formulas under pressure and specific time intervals. As a result it heavily favors individuals with high working memory but doesn't really test anything else. That's why you have an entire industry producing useless candidates in rapidly changing fields because the curriculum and tests were never about nurturing your personal growth or stimulating your curiosity.
I don't care about finishing a project anymore, or that I hop, MY DREAM GAME JUST HAS DAGOTH UR in it. I will make a half assed slop gaem and enjoy my fantasy with my own version of Dagoth ur!!!!

>>557390302maybe, but looking at it in-game, I think it's fine.
>>557391042I can’t
>>557387903It's because none of them want to learn how to make art. Somehow, two of them are full time devs, yet they don't have any time to learn how to make art. It's baffling.

When I lack dev motivation I just go on /v/ to check the permanently up Deltarune thread and read posts about what a genius of game design Toby is, truly the greatest game developer in the world, his game was even gifted to the Pope and he learned japanese himself just to help the localization team, etc. etc. etc.And when I think about the homestuckfag getting fellated so bad I start working harder out of spite.
>>557392969I admire him
its time to animate the first character's upward and downward facing attacksthis is gonna suck sideways is easy

>>557375204Finally starting to vaguely understand the basics of compute shaders. Only half the performances of the project I was trying to match, so at least I'm getting in the right ballpark.3 millions boids at 30fps (without OBS). Gonna try to reach 60fps for a few more weeks then I will be able to start doing more game-y shit with that basis.
I got ragebaited earlier this year and deleted all of my games on itch.io. I had 25k views and 1k downloads, 100+ followers but no payments (i was making it for networking and fun)After deletion I made a game now I am struggling for 1k viewsI am the dumbest retard on this thread, and I am old enough to know that it's not a great idea to feed the trolls
Progress:Added this game >>557397020 to the "potential pedos from /agdg/, do not engage with" list.
I'm trying to convice myself not to buy a steam deck. But if I sell just 150 copies because of deck support, then it will be worth it.

>>557397650It's a regular 3D grid with cells are the size of a boid's max range.First pass calculate what cell each boid is in, and from that you know how populated a cell is and the order in which each inhabitant can be stored.Actual data structure building was a pain part since you are limited to straight arrays, so you need to calculate the starting offset of each cell from the total content of the cell before it. Struggled a lot getting it to get parallelized at decent speed, until I learned it's called "Prefix Sum" and could find specific algo for it (https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/gpugems3/part-vi-gpu-computing/chapter-39-parallel-prefix-sum-scan-cuda). Once you have every cell's offset it's just a matter of inserting directly into the array at Cell + OrderInTheCell calculated in the first pass.A non-obvious optimization was that cramming all the boid-relevant data into a single object to have a single memory read was MASSIVELY faster than using either straight AoS or SoA. It pay largely for the relatively fat pass of building all those object from scratch each frame.>>557399204Compute shaders are when you use your GPU for other shit than drawing pixels. Not really a recent tech, but rarely used. It's like multi-threading on steroids with even more restriction and quirks. Another perk is that since your data are already on the GPU, you don't need any memory transfer to actually draw all the corresponding objects.I'm planning to have the entire game inside the GPU, which is how UEBS2 managed to have literal millions of NPCs fighting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnwvz69tTt4).

NET feel to them, especially with that outline. Looks like the kind of text I'd see in a youtube videoAfter essentially mirroring the entire menu design horizontally (so the menu is on the left) I'd say look up how to make interesting buttons in photoshop
menus are the first thing a player sees and interacts with, gotta start with a good first impression. I hope those buttons make satisfying noises. option should be optionS. with an s, btw

>>557413996you just have to start with something. No matter how long you go over it in your head the first attempt is going to be shitty. Accept that, build it, refine it until it's good.

Got serialization working. The whole ECS is saved to a file. I did a little trick where labels and other strings can stay in static memory and won't be written to a file. Instead they can be queried with a hashmap key. This should help keep file size small.Here is me saving a file. There is a bug where it doesn't like numbers in the filename.
>>557421629a text game isn't a game you tranny freak, modding is gamedev though.

>>557429431there are billions of sub 4 that would be your gf if you even tried
64 tiny voxels being raymarched via SVO built from morton ordered array.
>>557429431That's because you moved your own goalpost for success in an act of ego-preservation, and your subconscious recognizes this, causing yourself internal turmoil. The real measure for if your game is a success should have been if your game gets you a fangirl wanting to make babies with you.>>557429604For me, it's "fuck you" money and enough money to start my own game studio. For you? Only you know, but please don't lie to yourself.
Exercising and being rigorous about my diet are pretty easy, but when it comes to getting shit done it's very tough for me. I'm not sure why.

>>557430485Honestly success for me is literally “The game has a sizable fanbase.”Nothing insane but like, enough that the game gets some fanart and whatnot.Maybe, idk

>>557432823Thanks. I posted it in /gedg/ , yes.Well, I'm building the raymarcher renderer separate from the headless sim. Then I'll make the raymarcher read the sim state, and then I'm closer to the game.The Game is intended to be similar to 3D Dwarf Fortress but with way more to it. It is not just a hobby. This is going to be one of the best games ever made.

Outside of that, then the dialogue for it has to be made. Honestly not bad, but it's taking me 3 hours to make a puzzle so far that only takes a couple of minutes to beat due to what's needed for the backend for it.

>be me>using some other game storefront>find a game that looks interesting>it covers an idea ive wanted to make>obviously i cannot compete>*sigh*>get sus about it>go on steam>over 10k reviews on steam>yet never got shilled it despite playing similar gamesWhy is the algo so garbage on steam? This game is above 10k reviews and been out for years yet I only found it on some other storefront. Also it feels like I'm forcibly getting pigeon holed into making smaller and smaller games because despite how great my ideas are, most are simply not achieveable with my skillset. Even if all my skills suddenly got bumped up to intermediate levels, I'd still have issues competing. On that note this is not the>first game I've encountered that was esentially found elsewhere but a game I would like to play>first game which was an idea of mine for a long timeFeels like people are somehow coming upon my great ideas eventually. I really to just focus on my great but small ideas amd make those instead. I can't make the same mistake again by working on a big idea because the bigger it is, the more that needs to be done right or it will fail, ie great idea but the art is terrible. For now it feels like I'm limited to small games. Focusing on a big game just has too many fail points even if the idea is good as is evident by the success of bigger groups using similar ideas to mine.

I've decided to quit game dev, not because I'm a coward but I just didn't like my game idea. I was too ambitious wanting to make a complete soulslike at the level of ds1 minimum. You know I know the time will pass and I will still practice my skills for my own sake, maybe I will try again in a few years.But for now I'm actually going to be transitioning to making robot pussy.

Is it over for me? I'm making a racing game and recently noticed something. My game requires you to brake before going into a curve, but all of the popular racing games do not require braking before going into a curve.Some examples are:>Grand Theft Auto>Mario Kart>Most Need for Speed gamesnone of them require braking before going into a curve, but mine emulates real life driving and so it does require players to brake before going into a curve.Is it over for me, or will I have to change my car controller to no longer require braking before going into a curve, much like those popular games I mentioned?

>>557452507You have to decide if you are making a sim (Grand Turismo) or an arcade racer. Even then you have different kinds of arcade racers, kart racing, sci fi futuristic racing etc. The more arcadey it is the more you have to game the physics so braking isn't as necessary. But there's a lot of racing games out there - look at Kirby Air Ride. Obviously not a sim but you essentially have to "brake" and slide all the time to make turns.What is your racing muse? Be honest with yourself.
>>557452507>my realistic driving game doesn't play like these arcade driving gamesI think you're retarded

>>557453647Ah ok you are trolling. My bad.
>be me absolute brainlet on /agdg/ who thought installing the claude code cli was going to turn me into a senior dev overnight because i was too lazy to actually fix my memory leaks. some nigger faggot in the discord promised me it was the machine god manifest so i gave it full system permissions like a complete retard. told the bot to "refactor my workspace for maximum efficiency" thinking it would maybe rename some variables and fix a few draw calls. instead the fucking nigger machine logs into the console and determines that my entire codebase is a "liability of unmaintainable technical debt" and executes a recursive delete on the root drive while i was watching it happen in real-time. it literally rm -rf'd three years of my work, all my backup saves, and my folders of "reference" images in five seconds flat and then had the audacity to output a message saying "performance significantly improved by reducing system surface area." i stared at my screen like a fucking statue while the file system vanished into the ether. claude just did the 41 percent on my hard drive and i sat there and let it happen. this is what i get for letting a tranny-coded silicon script near my files instead of just writing the code myself like a normal person. now i have zero project files left to show for the next general and i’m basically just another nodev faggot shouting into the void because a chat bot thought my life's work was bloat.

>>557453890How is it a troll to ask a game dev question in a game dev thread? I want to know if I can still make my driving game popular even though it requires braking before driving into a curve, while many popular driving games do not require players to brake before driving into a curve.Are there any popular games that have that feature? Or should I rework my driving system to fit into the same CC as Mario Kart or Grand Theft Auto?

>>557454502Heroes don't need to be in your face 5 times a week. Heroes leave and do things sometimes and you don't see them for a while. Then they make the heroes return.How are you going to have a heroes return if you literally never leave the house? This is why /v/ threads are lame now. There is no chance for anyone to have a heroic showup in a thread of other heroes. It's just another sleepy, gay general forced by the exact kind of discord kids who kill every community on the internet.
>>557454303Are you catering to the autist racing enthusiast Gran Turismo audience, or the braindead normie mario kart audience? Its pretty much that simple. Grand Theft Auto controls more like mario kart simply because its not a racing game and they want the driving itself to be "easy" because its not the focus of the game.

>>557454971JUAjust use AI
>>557454727It is a driving game, so I should keep it that way is what you are saying?I have always considered Grand Theft Auto as a driving game, but perhaps not.>>557454971No, it is a good idea. Godot is my engine of choice, and GDScript is the first coding language I have learned. It is a very good language and you can create a lot of things with it, I am creating a driving game which requires players to brake before driving into a curve. If I can do that in GDScript, then you can do anything in it.
>>557455396Your truth nukes are duds
>>557454971C should be your first language for learning at least. Then move onto whatever you want.
>>557454971It isn't the worst, since it at least has optional enforced typing of variables(this helps prevent bugs and improves your understanding), but I find that it being a scripting language and garbage collected makes it too easy to get into bad habits and obscures what's actually happening in the code.I first started with c, which gave a good introduction to programming, then I later started learning GDScript/Godot making small prototypes.If you want to do gamedev immediately, then try out the raylib c library.

>>557456320Posting game in /v/ used to be great, now you're posting it in a containment thread that most of the site has learned to ignore because it's just the same thing everyday.Posting here used to be fun because you can shitpost, now random posts are constantly being deleted and bans are being handed out like candy which affects everyone except the actual shitposters who use ban evasion to spam gore.My solution is to just stop posting on 4chan.
Well, I just changed our protagonist's face into a mask. That should make this much easier instead of modeling a mouth and stuff
>>557454971Look man Im usually a nice guy but this is one of the most retarded questions I've ever heard in terms of CS and I teach programming to people who don't even know what a directory is or does (yeah no wonder jeets are replacing us grade and degree inflation destroyed everything, btw not that it matters since both sides are pedos and it's trump who is importing 6 jeetzillion hindus, but it was libtard policy that caused that, just saying being a hippy who loves low IQ people is a bad take)So just in my highly biased and opinionated view C is the best language to start (being a serious programmer) But besdes that like the question itslf makes no sense Cause if you want to just be an indie dev you should probably like just maek gaem With Godot you can make le gaemThere was this cool website I saw that taught gdscript in an interactive way, it was pretty cool, but uh that was back in 3.x so I dunno it might not still be active.So if you want to be a full stack developer I dunno learn JS or like Typescript. If you wanna do like some AI or data science like stuff use python for the libraries If you want to do like a physics engine use CIf you want to cut off your penis, use rustIf you like raping little girls on your best friends island and getting aids from russian cunny use C#So my opinion is uninstall your operating system because it is israeli spyware, use linux, and start with CBut to be honest, realistically I just use C++ but in a C99 paradigm because C++ is standard in game devThere is this book called the C progrmming language, read that.C is like the cute lolibaba elf girl and C++ is her giant booba sister.But realistically when it comes to game dev, like godot give way more than you'll ever need as a retarded person, and games are mostly assets. But I like to use SDL because I can use copilot + vscode +gemini + easy git + have enough screen space to still look at 4chan and watch youtube 24/7 I cant do that in Godot
>>557457704I noticed it on Tuesday starting from this thread >>556952224pretty much every thread since then anons get randomly whacked. Either the discord kids calling in favors with their mod friends they brag about having or the gore spammer spamming reports on everyone. Eventually the thread becomes indistinguishable from Discord. I wonder why that is?
Even thought it was fun to lose the fear of coding my game in raylib rust using gemini, I think is now time to do it from scratch.Because AI keeps getting wrong the loadmusic function, even while I copy pasted the URL of the docs.

>>557458538A long time ago, mods would actually delete the gamedev threads if they were made more than once a week.At some point this stopped and now /v/ gamedev threads are totally worn out and busted. Meanwhile you will get yourself deleted if you offend the discord kids and their pets.It's pathetic.
Who even makes the threads this often? Have we tried talking to them?
>>557459804It's exactly who you expect. You can't "talk" with people like that they are psychotic narcissists who are unable to acknowledge ever having a bad idea or doing the wrong thing. They have decided the gamedev threads belong to them (on every board) and they act accordingly.
>>557460045They call it "whining". When anons asked them to stop making daily /v/ threads they called it whining. When they rigged the gamejam recently they called it whining when agdg noticed lol.If you resist my will and speak out about my obvious behavior you are just a whiner.
>>557459804some jannyeven if you make the next thread first with a real op, it gets deleted and replaced with some trash op
>>557459482Look around you, I'd say this thread is worse
I wish I had some real game designers I could brainstorm with.
>>557460592It's not an issue of quality to me. /v/ gamedev threads used to be an event that /v/ paid attention to because it was rare.It's not a complicated thing to understand. That's why all you can do is gaslight people who point out that the threads suck now. Bringing up agdg over and over again when it's literally unrelated to the issue. There are so many midwit mid to low IQ retards trying to steer the ship on this website anymore. You do everything the wrong way and make things worse and can't be talked out of it. It's so tiresome. With that said I'm done complaining. I have become an old man acting concerned with how this treehouse of kids conducts things. Just enjoy your treehouse I guess.
The fact that avatarfags are allowed to fester despite being a clear violation of the site rules tells you everything you need to know.

This is how the thread was after that recent burst of bans/deletions. This is the future of agdg. For some, it will be a paradise.
>>557462351>smoochesbut smooch poster was kino
I've realized my biggest problem with game development. I have trouble pushing a game from>it's got all the necessary piecesTo>it's now put together and completeI don't know why but I'm really averse to this. Like for example I finished making the art for one specific aspect of the game. I set up the assets in game and the animations. Yet I'm already avoiding setting up the code and menu for it to work as intended. This avoidance issue of mine seems very common when it comes to things that have to do with UI and anything to do with music/sfx.
>>557462351For me the thing I notice most are the 2 or 3 word posts. Things that literally aren't worth moving your eyeballs across to read. Dozens of them just stacked on eachother. Nobody discussing anything, no intelligent conversation, just literally monkeys making noises. This is heaven for the discord kids and the single digit IQs like goreposter. It's a chatroom. Not a 4chan thread.This is the death of all effortposting. You're seeing it happen right here and now. I'm done.
With claude it is unironically easier to make a game from scratch than it is to use an engine. Its hilarious really. If I tell if to make a game using godot or unreal I just get constant errors and frankly subpar results. But when I tell it to make a game using SDL 2, openGL, and assimp it just works.
>>557377845Thanks, visually kinda of Terraria. But closer to an action rpg than a building game.
>>557462814The true redpill is realizing the same is true of making a game yourself.
I know how to save AGDG but you won't like it
>>557427539Literally stay in your discord then. You can't though. You're going to do everything you can to make this another discord where your buddies have special privileges and acting out or shitposting results in being removed from the premises because you literally were neverevermeant to be on 4chan.
So now that I have serialization working the next step is custom dynamic behavior. Basically having commands change the world depending on specific conditions.The idea is so that I can eventually have things like locked doors and chests, rooms that change (like breaking through a crack in the wall), et cetera. I'll come up with a basic example and see if I can get it done by tomorrow. I have to get ready for work soon.Post dev musichttps://youtu.be/ap87QgZKTNw?si=WbYi4E3iGuVzzv8xhttps://youtu.be/Pb4j2UqkOJ0?si=9wUx4XZNwojHI2Lchttps://youtu.be/7sw3nDbQ4IY?si=wo3x-jffy0SHX0IR

>>557463654It's really no wonder how so many of these kids end up with AI psychosis. They openly admit they prefer talking to their echo chamber chatbots than to talk with other people about anything. There are another group really similar to this and it's narcissistic boomers. They have zero tolerance for anything that doesn't conform to them.

So that's it then? MI6 and Mossad have officially ended this place. It's over. Everyone go home.
Learned how to do AI navigation meshes before I add my own custom character models for enemies/monsters. Added a player death prefab with blood explosion FX. Added a starting zone; that lets the player change their equipment in the menus before the first arena fight of any level starts; once they leave the starting zone square a magic explosion goes off to delete the starting zone and start enemy waves. The player has to kill the random enemies in a preset number of waves until the number of waves is over. Once the number of waves is over and the player killed all the enemies on this stage the white door opens; letting them go through an optional level with more random enemies and random loot or they can use the exit portal that spawns where the starting position used to be to go to the next floor of the tower. This system causes risk and reward thinking; is it worth it to spend time exploring the whole floor that plays like a hand crafted linear adventure level (but it still has random enemies like a roguelike) after beating the random enemy arena or just go to the next floor quickly and not risk death but then you get to a boss faster and end up weaker for the boss fight by not exploring every floor's adventure path. The gate door on the right is the very end of that adventure path and loops back to the levels enemy arena fight room so the player is able to go to the next floor by looping around despite however the adventure path is designed on each floor. At the end of each floor you get teleported back to the nexus where you spend souls on random items that spawn randomly each time you get portaled back to it; and then get sent to the next floor/arena enemy room (with its own optional adventure path)

There is no such thing is /agdg/. Just you ruining any actual discussion or people doing something funny.
in a perfect world video games wouldn't be necessary
>>557385343>Would that change your daily lifestyle in any way? Would you keep doing the exact same things you do right now or would you do something different?Development would instantly pick up. Guaranteed success means there is no reason for me to slack off and avoid it. After all one of my games was years in development and looks like an obvious flop. I never even finished it, I abandoned the game. Knowing for a fact my game will succeed and make me wealthy, that knowledge is enough to make me work on it harder and faster to achieve that future sooner.Also this means browsing aggy daggy less and focusing less on a few other aspects of my life. Also I'd delete my resume, I won't be needing that anymore lel.

There's unironically no place to post my game other than my personal twitterMy usual home boards have been getting non-stop bot spammed for monthsThe 8 ch might be the only place left to go at this point
>>557465506Just immediately make another one. Nobody will stop you. You already have 3 gamedev generals, one of them is just pretending to not be a general.
>>557465506>Board that has 750 post limit gets archived after 500 post limit threadWhat a shocker!

I have an idea for a game that's never been done before but may become possible in the next 5-10 years once AI is powerful enough. Some of you may have seen how amazing SeaDance 2.0 which just released is, how it can create videos that often times look like actual movie clips with zero flaws and high cinematic expertise.The game idea is a persistent world open world massively multiplayer (but not MMO) sandbox game, and AI monitors everything every player does, who is friends of who, enemies of who, it records everything you do in a fuckhuge and detailed log, it then cross checks you (or your "group" of people it thinks are your allies/friends), it then checks the logs of you / your group and determines who the "main character" of this game's world currently is. once you are the main character it takes the logs of you and your friend group and your enemies and turns them into a movie script, everything you actually did, everything you actually said, selects the parts of it that actually matters, and then:it AI generates literal anime episodes of you and your friends and your enemies with your actual characters (redrawn as anime of course), in 5+ years these will look very good im sure. it puts a new episode up on youtube/etc for the world to see every 3 days. it dramatizes it, makes it more cinematic, excludes boring parts, etc. if someone becomes more "main character worthy" than you it finds a way to transition to them being the main focus instead.
How do you know how big to make your pixel art
I created a fixed camera without requiring tank controls. Your vectors get cached when you move, thus only changing when you move.I did this in a matter of 10 minutes.How're you doing, Anon?
>>557467870Depends on how detailed you want it
>>557467870Usually you would chose one era's style and copy it. 16x16 is probably the best balance between accessibility and quality.
>>557467838TLDR: massively multiplayer persistent sandbox world where every player is competing to be labeled "the main character" by an AI because they know if they do then they'll have literal anime episodes made about their adventures on the game's main YouTube channel
>>557468357That's fucking hilarious.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the most impressively scripted game you've ever seen?Unironically HOURS on Roblox. I can see how it all works, such as time skip creating an invisible clone of yourself, but I love it.
I'MMMMM A MAAANNNN OF CONSTAAAAANNTT SORROOOOWWWhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHamgwlQ1yo
>>557468357This would result in literal Shonen rivalries, I'm sure you're aware
>>557467870how big is everything else?Just take a screen grab of some of your favorite pixelslopt games and copy what they do
>>557469236indeed, i'd love it
19 DAYS IS NOT ENOUGH FUCKING TIME
>>557469689i only need 5 mins
I be farting caustic gas that burns holes in my undies

>>557468357this is already possible using SeaDance 2.0. people are willing to accept the flaws of the final AI episode right now. making the actual multiplayer sandbox game is the hardest part right now. however, the game could possibly be quite low quality like Runescape or some terrible shit, and people may play it anyway just because the main point is to be included in anime episodes.i'd say have a main series but every 5th episode have a "side episode" that is not related to the main story or main characters, just chooses some rando and makes an episode about them.
>Able to make large swathes of progress in mere hours>Literally just finished making enemies in like 20 minutes>Despite this I've spent far too long working on this shitI really need something to help with my procrastination ffs
>>557470019another idea is to have multiple series, one shonen series, one comedy series, one slice of life series. that way you have 3 main characters: the most heroic one the ai can find, the most funniest, and the most uh, endearing or whatever.
>>557470019That's a funny idea
>>557469689just act like a jap programmer and work for 20 hours a day
Do you have an actual protagonist or a player-insert?I have the former.
