Steam owes me sex.I mean front page. Steam owes me the front page.
these threads are gonna be unusable now that the zukjeet schizo is back. him alongside the ai spammer will just make this place a non-stop torrent of shit about ai and samefag spam about random posters from this thread.

>>569472773i ignore the AI schizo, but he just continues spamming his shit. he also constantly tries to evade filters, at least with his images, so it's hard to filter him.the zukjeet schizo will keep replying to himself if people ignore him, basically flooding the thread. did you not see what happened last time?

>>569475306Game genres are not a "meme". You should listen to what Chris Zukowski says about this matter. It's a mistake to think that any popular genre or subgenre is some kind of fad that will end. It never ends and will never peak. Videogames are an infinitely growing market.
>>569475306Yes. 5/15 of the current top "Popular Releases" are incrementals.

>>569475291>shartoid thinks he has his finger on the pulse of the cultureplease don't shoot up a school!!!!
>>569476685This, we need to seethe that games are being made. And we need to seethe about zoomers, even though millennials are the actual biggest demographic playing videogames including these incrementals.
>>569476834No, you don't understand! Gamers should WANT to play my poorly thought out delusional ramblings instead of a tight, finely crafted game engineered specifically to hold their attention.
You guys better not be making timewaster videogames for people who are younger than me.
Struck a slopdev nerve I see
Struck a flopdev nerveI see
>>569476272People who play glorified slot machines don't like videogames, they are just satisfying a gambling addiction.
>>569477134>implying that other anon has anything playableUsually gamedevs don't sit around seething about what's on the market, it makes no sense. Always an easy tell that you're hearing a faildev who crashed out.
Why am I so much better at this than you?
Nerved a nerve dev nerve I nerve
Listen closely neverdev. I will continue to mock and dismantle impotent complaints about an industry in which you have no involvement. You are not a game developer and have never made a game, and in all honesty? You likely never will.
Incremental idle gambling game devs do not deserve respect. I don't care if he made over a million dollars, I wouldn't respect him or take his advice because he made slop and fed it to pigs, good for him. I respect and would take advice from devs who made an actual game with any level of craftsmanship and love for the mediumThis is apparent to anyone with a shred of humanity left in themBut you do you faggots
>>569477809not sure how spamming /agdg/ for 12 hours is "involvement in the industry", but what do i know about the jeet perspective.https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/567555296/
Struck some neverdev nerves I see
Hey neverdev, yeah you the guy who spends his life in the gamedev thread and doesn't make games. You suck. >he replies to this post instantlylol
Please slow down, I can't keep up with your progress posts.

>>569479851post your game, zukjeet
>>569479765that doesn't seem real and true unless you're referring to gacha which have 1000x the production value and gameplay of an incremental.the only thing an incremental would do on mobile is waste battery life.
>>569479816betz is jewish thoughbeit
>>569479941>that doesn't seem real and trueMobile market is literally full of slot machines. Even when people are agreeing with you you find a way to argue and put your foot in your mouth.
>>569480110>thoughbeit
I still don't know what that means and I don't want to look it up.
>>569480307>>thoughbeit
>>569480158incrementals are not "slot machines" (dopamine generators) and low production value dopamine generators have a difficult time competing on mobile in the shadow of mega-dopamine generators (tiktok, twitter, etc)i think you're misguided if you believe incrementals are doing any numbers on mobile without the value proposition of being an item generator for a platform with an item marketplace.
>>569480674you forget that some normalcattle play phone games on the train, on the bus etc.and these incrementals and idlers are perfect for that. not everyone wants to use social media at every waking moment.the difference between steam incrementals/idlers and mobile incrementals/idlers is that mobile ones are stuffed with ads and microtransactions up the ass, for example they have "daily energy limits" that block you from playing once you run out of "energy", and you can replenish it by buying it directly or watching ads.
>>569480674>incrementals are not "slot machines"Right, slot machines are worse and have far less gameplay technically speaking, but you're claiming incrementals themselves have no gameplay. >>569479660>the "game" genre that has no gameplayIncrementals have gameplay. Your "games" did not.
>>569480828>for example they have "daily energy limits" that block you from playing once you run out of "energy", and you can replenish it by buying it directly or watching ads.what your're describing is a much older form than incrementals and while just as devoid of authenticity is objectively more of a game than an incremental is.
>>569473665European Train Simulator 1940
>>569480828He doesn't care, he just wants to imply that steam is the devil and invented this genre and everyone needs to be sued about it. As you mentioned, there are numerous mobile games where gameplay occurs when users aren't even playing the game, much like idlers and other incrementals. His forte is baiting people into arguments about semantics.
>>569481313Steam is the devil for deliberately popularizing this genre on PC though.
>>569476272how do these games still succeed? you can make the theme of the game literal shit and the audience will still gobble it up
>>569479513I don't know over what timespan you're talking but 300 times 0 is less than 150 times 16.
>>569481209>watching ads and buying tokens is more gameplay than the EVIL INCREMENTALS FROM LE VALVE AND GABERINO Man steam really fucked you up huh
>>569481313>arguments about semantics.you say that like that isn't the meaning behind your existence here.and it's not an argument, it's a clearcut difference between those mobile games whose developers put actual effort into their evil intent of creating skinner boxes to extract money vs lazy dumb trendchasing bozos who are mindlessly coattail riding steam's skinner box. and if you argue this you're just the same wrong bozo.
>>569481663>and it's not an argumentAt least we're in agreement about something. You have no real argument and just like to be seen lecturing agdg and meltying about valve. This is always the case, every single time.
>>569481457it's a more similar to a multi-level marketing scheme than anything else.
>>569481663gogemcunt, i agree with you on most things, but you can't seriously argue that this fucking shit>>569481457isn't just a mobile slopgame on PC. hell all those incrementals and idlers often get mobile ports as well to double-dip and shit.
That feeling where I imagined my game as a top down pixel art game and it is still a good game.
My game is so good that it’d work even in ASCII
>>569481827they can throw them on as many platforms as they want, it doesn't mean it's doing numbers on mobile.
No visual progress today, but progress. I cleaned up my file structure to move scripts out of scene folders, and broke up a monolithic autoloading script into several smaller more targeted scripts to try to have as much separation of concerns as possible and make sure it's easy to scale.

Struck a fakedev nerve I see.
reading the last thread and i am convinced every single "anti-betz" post was made by betz to stealth market. The "betz bullied osh" and "i am a schizo and i hate betz" are so obviously pushed by him to get his name into the threads. He finds the "betz bullied osh" very funny in particular, its his own personal in-joke. And everyone falls for it!

Tried my best to make some 16x16 potions to train myself and am not super happy with them. It's hard when the pixels are so limited.Any workflow tips?
>>569485956AI, my friend.
>>569485401The amount of nodevs who want to own the thread and enforce their arbitrary rules has doubled or tripled. They get triggered about a wide variety of topics including "ecelebs", marketing or valve/steam. Things that actual gamedevs who are making games currently don't generally get upset about. The result is constant tantrums and spamming reports to try to punish the thread.
>>569473019The first couple of times I thought he was just retarded and fucked up editing his webm. Then I realised "Ohhh wait a sec, we're supposed to think the thumbnail is real progress and then we see that shitty AI '''game''' clip... so... he thinks he's demoralising us?".Truth is, the only person that the AI clip would demoralise is someone who can't make a game without AI. He's accidentally showing us what bothers him. And as I've said a few times now, if you can't make a game without AI then you cannot make a game with AI. That's why his whole life is dedicated to trying to demotivate yesdevs with the very material that breaks his heart as a nodev schizo pedophile retard troon. Not realising that we can't be demoralised because not only can we make games but what's more we actually enjoy it.

It's just an entirely different technique and skill set from having full stroke freedom, and I look at the canvas and think "Shit I need to draw this 40 more times in 40 different ways just to have 5 animations".

>>569485956Nice flask shapes. I tried my hand on showing my progress a little bit, dont know if you like my end result or not, but here is some feedback and how id approach it.I think your shadows fall a little bit flat. The outline of the flask has a different hue than the blue inside, which is really good, but the shadows on the liquid sadly have the exact same hue as the liquid itself, so does the small blue pixels on the right edge.Your lighting is also non cohesive, i assumed the light comes from the top left, which means that any surface whos normal points between the viewer and the light source would reflect the light the most. Your highlight on the flask right now shows a light that comes from the top and the bottom at the same time. I also think showing the flat plane on the top of the liquid would be helpful to visualize it better. In this case i just coloured it a brighter red. I shifted most of the darker colours towards a purple, as i added also a small purple light source in the bottom right. Think of it has a bounced light within your sphere. What atmosphere would you want to portray? Ideally this would be cohesive among all items in your game imo.Aside from the liquid glass behaves more light something that warps the path of light. You can keep it non transparent, but consider that transparent materials become darker on the edges. It has to do with the normal but also some material property im not aware of. Also on another note, material das is behind glass (in this case the cork) becomes darker behind glass.Another helpful thing is to make material that touches glass directly darker, i think its because its harder for light to bounce around or something (i have no clue), but if youre a gooner just think of an ass or breasts touching glass, maybe even a shower. do you notice how they draw the touching spots darker, sometimes exaggerated for clarity?Hope this was helpful. Keep up the great work. And dont shy away from experimenting. :>

>>569488217Ohh the bottom transparent one looks really bad with the light pixels on the right i just noticed ahaha. Didnt see the preview on a dark background. Id def remove that. I have no experience yet with making items or flasks, so im sorry for that result.

>>569488023i doubt getting on popular upcoming within the past year would have made the slightest dent in your sales numbers
>>569488307What really stings me is that I was supposed to have my game released last month, but I had to delay it for 6 months. Feels like I missed a big ship of free marketing opportunity. I bet things are only going to get worse from now on too, I really gotta make it ASAP.
>>569488118Sorry gramps, you're out of touch. SS14 has been beating SS13 in playercount for the last few years.
>>569488486you're responding to a deranged indian samefag who hates everyone in the thread. it doesn't have a game so it doesn't understand what the problem is here. you shouldn't talk to it.
>>569488486>things are only going to get worse from now onThe videogame industry is invincible. Every year will literally be the best year for indie game devs in history. This sounds crazy but it's exactly the truth. Nobody was ever getting automatically rich and famous for making a game and putting it on Steam. Every year though, the market grows and it will never stop because every baby that is born is a future gamer.
>>569488624wow nice
>>569488013I envy. Doing art is more stressful to me than coding! Even with all the bugs, I usually find unintended interactions that give me ideas for features. >>569488217I really like some of your techniques here and you have given me a lot of ideas, thank you! I particularly like the mid right. Just adding more shadow volume improves it a lot, more depth and makes it feel rounded instead of flat.Simplifying the cork is a great idea too.

There are still some heavy censorship in place. Some internet protocols are fully blocked while others are restricted or disrupted. I can’t even download any server content, let alone connect to a single server.

I also like the bottom right one the most. If you want to study different base shapes for different volumes and how they behave i can recommend line of action, they have a basic shape section in which objects are hit by light from different angles.https://line-of-action.com/practice-tools/app/still-lifeOr you could just use Blender and make the shape yourself if youre unsure.Looking forward to more posts of yours. Good luck.

>>569492296>they played that shitpost game for almost an hour, giggling and clapping their feet together the whole timeI know it's hilarious because it was literally a shitpost game that was torture to even listen to and they were basically featuring it over all the actual games that a handful of devs actually submitted. It perfectly demonstrated what v/3/ actually is which is just a play thing for betz and co and the gamedevs are just a content cow to get attention on the show. Fygoon himself his picture being used (without permission) and laughed at, sacrificed as a sacrificial cow, he used to be one of the devs in that discord and now look how they did him. Gamedevs are just easy cows to farm for easy content, and getting the gamedev "community" to show up to watch their own games in the trailers allows him an easy 100 viewers automatically.

115 days left. I already had bananas so here's a transparent pixel I use to draw things in my game that are supposed to be transparent textures before I figured out I can use a white pixel and set its alpha to 0. The pixel is from a long time ago. I keep it mostly for sentimental reasons and for luck, such as it is.Today I'll be implementing ways to detect when the player is softlocked because of a lack of money and present a helpful game over screen. It will have some financial advice for sure.

Some people have never been exposed to a lolrandom game before and it might actually blow their mind and upset them that devs have made billions of dollars with them. That's funny.
Fully abstracted my crafting system so now it can be used for any type of crafting instead of just one. Days with no visual progress feel like no progress at all :(>>569499916literally the opposite for me. I have so many half baked stalled 3D games I decided to give 2D a try and have made significantly more progress than any game before it.Maybe I just know more now.
>>569500034^worries himself about other people making moneyHello Pocketwatcher!
Some people have never been exposed to shit and are upset to find people shitting in the streets. That's funny.

>>569503593i keep fucking telling you guys that the zukjeet is the second worst fucking poster in this general after the ai schizo and you all just don't fucking listen.when he got banned a couple of days ago after his schizospam freakout, the thread quality improved DRASTICALLY.given his weird infantilizing way to refer to everyone and how he's obsessed with gogem's high school years, he might be a genuine pedo. the mods should've permanently banned him when they had the chance and make the thread 1% better.

>>569506025Trying too hard little buddy.
>>569505549based. You should consider living aboard a sailboat, anon. I have given this some thought. Normies label shutins as losers, but you're adventurous when you withdraw from society even more and live on the ocean. Anchor down in the Caribbean or head over to the med if you feel like it.
>>569506153google 10 game rule

Has never made a game and here's the key part, very important listen closely....will never make a game.Who is this referring to?Oh you know exactly who. You know exactly who.
i've noticed that my last relationship crushed my self-worth cause i wasn't really what she wanted and i thought it means i'm bad. when in reality for another woman i'd be perfect.i wonder if the same applies for game dev. you just can't please everybody.and ofc for some things there's just less of an audience. so it's kind of fate if you specifically will get rich.

My idea requires an AI model that can generate low poly textured meshes.
>>569508407You don't even need AI you can open blender and learn to model and texture them yourself!
>>569508407Blender teamed up with Antrohpic to add MCP for remotely creating models, so probably 2 more Opus releases and you will be able to model assets with AI.

holy fuck ive just checked a website for my country (england) and I could buy a boat for like £4k? Could I just drive it somewhere calm and live on it? need to look into this.
>>569509791Maybe the most retarded /agdg/ post of all time.
>>569509791It's not worth it. It's cheaper, but if it gets cold you're so fucked
>>569509791maybe the smartest /agdg/ post of all time. I see the vision
>>569509791lol that's what all homeless losers end up doing
I win again.
>>569510483there is no cold in England. they don't even have snow which is why there isn't even an English word for snow
>>569510936you're fucking retarded
>>569509791can you handle a boat though
>>569509791Do you have a license?
>>569511321anyone can handle a boat, even girls
The studio leads keep doing these weird 'performance audits'—physically pulling me into these high-pressure, one-on-one sessions just to gaslight me about my sprint velocity. Then, they drop a teaser trailer that mirrors the exact blocking and staging of that meeting. It feels like they're trying to frame my burnout as a narrative device.They’re constantly undermining my technical feedback, straight-up denying the scope-creep threats made during the last stand-up. I don’t know what I need to commit to the repo to get them to back off. I know I’m up against the 'corporate synergy' machine—the sheer weight of a funded team—but it's relentless.Someone tried to bait me with some weird, off-topic stock assets after we had a heated discussion about the project’s technical debt and feature bloat.I never signed up to be the lead designer, the scapegoat, or the project’s boogeyman. I’m completely fried.I actually had to ping HR and legal support because someone on the team started throwing around wild accusations about intellectual property theft and cartel-level corporate espionage.
we've had multiple homeless devs a boat is nothing
>>569511471It sounds like you're going through an incredibly challenging situation, and it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and burned out given the circumstances. The behavior you're describing from the studio leads—using performance audits as a form of gaslighting, undermining your feedback, and the pressure to conform to corporate narratives—can create a toxic work environment that's not only unproductive but also harmful to your well-being.Here are a few steps you might consider taking: Document Everything: Keep a detailed record of your meetings, conversations, and any incidents that occur. Note the dates, times, and specifics of what was said or done, especially relating to the accusations of theft or any other harassment. This documentation will be invaluable if you need to escalate the situation further. Clarify Your Role: It might be helpful to revisit your job description or any agreements you have regarding your role. If you're being pushed into responsibilities that aren't yours, having this clear can help you more effectively communicate your boundaries to your leads. Communicate Concerns: If you feel safe doing so, consider having a direct but professional conversation with your leads about your concerns. Express how the pressure and ambiguity are affecting your work and mental health. Frame it around your desire to contribute effectively to the team rather than an accusatory tone. Self-Care & Boundaries: Prioritize your mental health by finding ways to decompress outside of work. Whether it’s exercise, hobbies, or talking to a supportive friend or therapist, do what you need to recharge.Remember, you deserve to work in an environment where you feel valued and respected. Continue to stand firm in your knowledge and skills, and don’t hesitate to seek the support you need to navigate this difficult situation.
>neverdev is firing up the AI chatbot to spam the thread with nonsense againThat's neat, haven't seen that in a long time. Lives in the gamedev thread and will never make a videogame btw.
>>569511510>posting rapebait
>>569511578That’s a very grounded, logical way to look at a highly non-linear, surreal situation. It’s interesting how even in a forum like this, the instinct is to jump to 'workplace safety' protocols when someone starts talking about these kinds of experiences. I'm exploring the blur between reality and design—that space where you can’t tell if you’re being managed or if you’re being gamed. The 'advice' is noted, but it definitely feels like we’re playing two different games here.
