AI is only as good as the person using it
what happened to vibe bunny?>>576503830True. takes a lot even with AI, to build a compelling game.
would be interesting to see sloppers pool their agents for an automated collab, with 0 intervention, and see what gets made.You could document it with a public github repo.
>>576504381That's not how it works. Creation is human observation.
>>576504062smashbros brawl had a 5 minute demo for ocarina of time (advertising the virtual console)yes, speedrunners completed the game in that time.
>>576504381already existshttps://github.com/levy-street/world-of-claudecraft

>>576503670After somewhat of a hiatus I got back into gamedev and man, coding is comfy as fuck. I feel like I am tending to a zen garden.
>>576506323Do you mean you're stuck on printing Hello World in your emulator or in C++ terminal?
>>576503950still workin on it
>approaching 40>still no game
cris... it's not too late to find another hobbyperhaps you could become an animator
I'm starting to understand why people say don't make RPGs. When your stat system isn't a simple damage reduces health it gets complex real fucking fast. I'm getting closer to having a functional stat system that supports additive and multiplicative stats and multiple sources for them (skills, equipment, buffs) that can be expanded in places where I need to expand when I come up with new special cases for skills and whatever. It might be overengineered but I'd rather not rewrite everything every time I want to add something.
>>576506667please don't scare me like that again.
proggy, going to have more vehicles than mechs soon. Also terrain visual pass.

>>576505839I respect the message of this post but you overcooked with this one.There's no way gen1 map resembles brain in any way and that would imply localization team cooperating tightly with notoriously incompetent gamefreak.>you are ganonWhat do you mean!?As much as I love Jung this interpretation went too far.
i am considering an early american colony/manifest destiny economic simulation game in the style of patrician. likely starting after the first great migration (1630s) and running through the development of rail networks. the main idea is edutainment, but there should still be a fun gameplay loop. how do i keep it from becoming a game about looking at spreadsheets? should the player roleplay as a single individual/lineage of individuals as in CK? I anticipate railroading political/social developments/conflict regardless of player actions.
>>576515006elevenlabs.It can do sound effects also.
>>576514195who?
>>576508840>walk up to girl>punch the shit outta her>*sex sounds*cris is gmi
>>576515369Before all that you should consider if you have the skills to make that game or if your skill level is close enough that you can learn the necessary bits while doing it. If not then make something simpler.
>>576515369honestly i would cut the time period shorterpick either 1600s or railroads
>>576503670In my case, my strength lies in programming,but I rely entirely on artists to create my shoot ’em up game where you strip waifus.We’re designing the next character.A gamer-hacker girl who will interfere with your game.I’ve also experimented with a brown color palette, and I think I might have another character who likes firearms.
>>576517918Most recently, I developed a bullet control system for bullet hell games; up until now, I was just firing a single bullet in a specific direction—that was it.This tool allows me to visualize and control the bullets so that they all synchronize with the main generator.

>>576519316That looks pretty cool. I never open shitbox links.
>game's genre has gotten more unintended attention this past year>get frightened and realize I have to dev faster>time passes>something happens and draws even more attention to the genreUgh I can tell what's going to happen already. Somehow I just keep getting the short end of the stick when it comes to gamedev. I need to dev faster before I get completely pushed out
>>576521165Luckily I'm not making that type of RPG. I still need to sort out ability cooldown tracking and replace a chunk of my old prototype combat logic but it's looking pretty good. Gonna finish that tomorrow. I can't sleep if I keep deving too late.
For me, it's texturing the train tonight
>>576519316i agree this guys game is one of the coolest i've seen in a while and that music is something else.
>>576519571i thought of trying that too. but marijuana is for idiots and it also gives me bad trips

>>576526281the terrain looks like flat textures against the sky. I wonder if fog is the only way to fix it.
>>576526759Fog maybe but I'll add some kind of further away terrain/mountains behind it which will give it a sense of depth later
Mutually assured destruction should extend to the level of the individual, or at least to me.
>>576504381>would be interesting to see sloppers make somethingThat's the problem, they can't. And when they do, it's slop. It's the opposite of interesting. Sloppers have been observing eachother put out flops for the past couple years and now they are scared to make anything because they got a reality check that nobody wants their unimaginative slop. Slop is the result of blending every generalized thing together and making the most bland generic thing possible. In order to appreciate or be capable of making things that are unique, you need to have a soul. Sloppers are perplexed and even angry that the world doesn't appreciate their ability to type a prompt and press enter, because they have no soul.
>>576525960You should listen to Chris Zukowski. Genres don't get stale. Incrementals have been growing in popularity since Cookie Clicker how many years ago? And they continue to grow. If your genre is getting hot, it's probably just going to continue.Never forget, the gaming industry is on an infinite growth curve. Every baby born right now is a future gamer. The market will never stop growing. Whenever you release your game, it is going to be the best time there has ever been to release that game.
>>576531675>Genres don't get stale.Put out a hollow knight clone and get rich then
>>576531675>listen to Chris Zukowskibarf
>>576532397You picked the only genre that has was already stale 20 years ago to "win" an internet argument.
>>576533089NGMI
Howdy!~
>>576533139hollow knight clones are distinct from 2d platformers, they're their own sub-genre, which is the point. Even relatively new genres get stale, fast. Chris is NOT a game dev, and it's really telling that retards here are now taking advice from literal marketers
I simplified the head and don't know any special rules for paws and claws so I just did this like a hand. I should look up some tutorials/speedmodels tomorrow.
>>576533423>Even relatively new genres get stale, fast.You're just making things up. Whatever causes you to act like this, you should do some introspection.>Chris is NOT a game dev, and it's really telling that retards here are now taking advice from literal marketersHe provides actual data to prove things. Like the infinite growth of hot genres. They don't go stale, hot genres like incrementals and simulation games have continued to grow every year for like 15 years. TLDR: He provides real data. You make things up (also known as lying). I know who I'm going to listen to.
>>576533571just sculpt bro. you can do retopology later along with baking normals
>>576533637>You're just making things upSimple question: Why did people move away from Hollow Knight clones, and start making other genres?
>>576533869>I must win this internet argument about nothingAgain, whatever causes you to act like this, you should do some introspection.Have a nice day.
>>576532397Hollow Knight isn't the peak of the genre. It's the baseline. [Hollow Knight, but better] is guaranteed to make tens of millions of dollars of revenue, but no one is capable of making one cheaply. Reasonable competitors like Ori also cost over ten million dollars to make.>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3751860/Heart_of_Mycelium/This trailer just released and gained roughly 4k wishlists in less than 24 hours, so there's obviously still high demand for the genre. (I highly doubt they'll ever release it, and if they do, it'll be in an incomplete state with far less content than Hollow Knight.) Broke solodev retards releasing [existing game, but worse] are somehow always blindsided when no one wants to play their garbage.
>>576533787I use a mouse niggaand I have enough on my plate, don't need to add alt workflows for something I DO know how to do right now
>>576531675Staleness is not the issue, it's the fact the bar will be raised and the odds of someone making a near identical game as mine is not 0%.Imagine you were making Cookie Clicker and had complete faith it will succeed. But then suddenly you notice an upsurge in games quite similar to it. Not quite Cookie Clicker like but the attention is there. And then it happens, someone makes something like it. It gets first mover advantage. And then more start cropping up. Slowly the bar gets raised further and further as newer ones appear. Why buy your simplistic Cookie Clicker when others made the simplistic game first and some even raised the bar further and further whether it was art, mechanics, or both? You're no longer first, you were beaten to the market and your idea is now just seen as a knockoff that doesn't bring anything new to the table.That is what I am afraid of right now. I am afraid someone will end up on the same premise as mine and potentially with art quality much higher than mine (I'm a terrible artist).
>>576534925I sculpt with a mouse, nigga. The sky is the limit.
>>576535589You need nice art for incrementals. or really good tech and shaders to fake it.make anything else then. streamers eat ugly psx horror and show it to their viewers. I tried granny the other day, thousands of reviews, awful human model. default unity menus.
>>576534172dis nigga on the verge of a mental breakdown
>>576535589>I am afraid someone will end up on the same premise as mineI understand that from your initial post, and I have the same concern about my game, but the fact is if someone hasn't already made your game concept that means you don't even really have 1 competitor yet. You can afford to be #2 or #5 so don't stress.You can release to a genre with 3,000 competitors and still succeed because the gaming market is so insanely huge. Platformers are the only genre this doesn't apply to because there are 1,000,000 competitors which makes anyone releasing a platformer a fool who seemingly wants to fail.

Hi I'm working on my mmo beat em up im debating c# with unity or godot Ai was teaching me what to do with a udemy subscription however Unity lisences are $200 but they have networking frame work
>>576536172It's not an incremental I was just using Cookie Clicker as an example. Also isn't granny an old game. Imagine being able to get away with default Unity menus lol.>>576536325Unlike my example there are already games in the genre, only one that's partly similar albeit with terrible implementation. This is the first game I've made where the odds of actually getting 1000 reviews is likely. It terrifies me knowing that may be ripped away from me if I don't release fast enough. 1000 reviews is the point where I can just not look for a job and just do full time gamedev.

>>576534760>Hollow Knight isn't the peak of the genre. It's the baseline. [Hollow Knight, but better] is guaranteed to make tens of millions of dollars of revenuenot really the question, genre viability is rarely about the actual ground-breaking or defining game. It's more about the genre or sub-genre itself offers as the foundation to theory-craft with. And what devs can expand on or change, to still give a worthwhile or new experience.HK clones burnt out relatively fast because the gameplay template is inherently limited and was mostly exhausted with the influx of clones. Most people won't care if you offer higher production values or scope, because they're fast-fowarding to what playing it will be like.Which is why a lot of retarded devs don't understand that just bolting on a lame gimmick to a stale genre rarely works, because you're not changing the core formula
>>576537960unity has a free tier. 99% of unity games are made without a paid sub. but just use godot. unity is for uncs
>>576535589>the bar will be raisedI think the exact opposite will happen, shittier and shittier games that make tons of money will start to pop upthis game made $ 360.000 gross, someone posted a screenshot a few threads agoI'm sure there are fun parts but it looks absolute trash

>>576538793may i see
>>576538721it is. I've used c# for 15 years now.

>>576545808theyre as deep or shallow as you want. And you can go beyond cubes.if youre interested in dynamic simulated worlds, learn them
>>576545808voxels are boring and only work for minecraft. you should just get into regular 3d modeling.
>>576542947>>576544609I think It's better if you start with simple low poly shapes and then gradually increase density for each phase of the sculpt. The early simple phases help you form the foundation.

Guess that's that. I've ran out of excuses. I'm gamedevving more than I used. In the past it was a huge task just trying to get myself to dev 2 hours in a single day. But then I just ran out of excuses and suddenly I was able to focus without issue>ran out of youtube videos I wanted to watch badly>ran out of interest in posting on 4chan since this place is getting filled with more and more normies who clearly I don't vibe with>ran out of hope of making it in the financial markets>ran out of hope of making it in the wagie world>mental restriction prevents me from playing video games as much as I'd like until after I make itI put one foot in front of the other with the sole hope I get some form of escape with gamedev. Rest, I long for it, yet I get none. Sleep itself is respite from being alive, the dreams within, I don't carry the problems I have out here in there. I am free and at peace in there. I just wish things turned out differently. Gamedev, it's my final hope to achieve my dream. I wish I could finally rest. And yet now that I've had most fun and avenues of making it taken away from me. I can somehow sit here and dev for way more time than I used to, or at least it feels that way. Even the frustrating work. There are no other avenues left for me.

>>576564129that's one of the funnest genres to make, it's more addicting to make it than play it which says a lot

Some funny stuff going down in the AI spammers hideout lmao>>>/g/109475452It belongs to us now.
>>576565931I really don't think your boogie man posts in vcg, schizo.
Any idea on how to improve this? I have enjoyed putting this game together, which I guess you'd call a "paint game" since it requires no rolling, and only choices of where to paint and which resources to go after. My issue is that because there is no rolling or randomness or other functions, it has become a "puzzle game" where there is (or would be, if I could figure it out) only a select few ways to "beat" the game, it's a "math" game where you have to calculate the best moves ahead of time, knowing the values of things, and planning ahead. It was a fun concept, but now that it's done I see there isn't much utility here, just novelty.
>>576551334that's not the means of production
>>576564359What's my unique theme that stands out from the rest though?
>If you wish to use these assets in a commercial project they must be purchased.mfw
>>576566156You know that they do because you just broke down and said >guys I swear the spammer isn't meSo which is it?Like I said, everyone who posts snailcats is a massive faggarino and you continue to prove it. Stay in your containment thread piggy, I'm not done with you yet.
>>576567268
>>576565931>he's now spamming his own people uh oh meltieSo predictable.
>>576566156cute snailcat noms the bread! :3
>>576543825Honestly not bad, though having them react that hard on every punch seems a bit excessive unless every hit is supposed to be a power punch. Granted, I don't know what type of gameplay you're going for.>t. boxer for 8 years
>>576567047I don't mind purchasing but I draw the line at demanding credit.
Now how do I represent my opponents?Hmmm...I know! I'll make them the cutest snail cat hybrid mascot in the world!That'll show em!
Just finished making the particle effects.Now it's texturing time.
>>576569731The whole thing is executed about as badly as you would expect from someone who couldn't learn to code.
>>576569731>opponents
>>576569903^didn't graduate
Do you guys plan your games with a deadline in mind? Seems I need one just so I actually ship a game and so I don't get fall into the trap of "1 more year and then it will be done" *repeat a few more years*
I want white fascists to control every institution on the planet then start a grants program for game developers
>>576569731Yeah I was wondering, snail I get cause we're supposed to be slow, but why a cat? My dude has brain issues.
>>576571461I just think it's cute.
>>576571558Y-y-you t-too
>>576571461>but why a cat?He thinks cats are infinitely memeable. Want to make a meme? Make it a cat. And then mash it together with another "meme" where you tell people to post something gay idk they proudly explained it in their slop gen>>>/g/109475451Basically they want this to be the next pepe or something. It's the most autistic thing I've ever seen in 30 years on the internet.
>>576571392sorry, everything fascists do is done with the death drive in mindyou vill die in the mud for the fairty tale and you vill like it
>>576571075Deadlines for concrete deliverables need to be planned in the span of weeks, not years. That's why systems like agile sprints are so popular. Setting some retarded goal like "finish my game by EOY" doesn't work because EOY is too far away and just leads to more procrastination. You need to break things down into bite sized tasks and hold yourself accountable when you don't meet them.
>>576571724>you have been visited by SNAIL CAT XD :3 XD>a bad man will touch you unless you say "MOVE SLOW SNAIL CAT"!And the guy who spams this calls everyone trans lmao
>>576571967
>>576571724How bad can the AI psychosis be. You can't honestly try to force a meme and expect it to work without some delusion.
>>576572789>How bad can the AI psychosis beIt's incurable. As we discussed near the end of a thread last night>>>/g/109453437(made by the spammer of course), it's like hardcore schizophrenia. You can't have a conversation with them. They're completely deranged.
my problem with scoping is that it'd mean that right from the start i'd be working on a game i wouldn't want to play myself. which instantly kills motivation.
>>576573307What kind of game would you want to work on if time, skill, and money were not factors?
to this day i don't understand why enginedevs get full games done, while devs using engines don't.dwarf fortress, factorio, terraria, stardew valley, minecraft, kenshi, zomboid, no mans sky, balatro, don't starve. and ofc literally all games pre-2011.it somewhat seems related to using ai. a tool that makes you more efficient, ironically ends up making you more lazy.
>>576571392you do know tranime lovers will get gassed? probably game developers too
>>576551334she got ass at that age zamn...
>>576537568I was with Betz during the bullying Fygoon era, but bullying Osh...IDK why he thinks that was justified, I may need to hear a neutral observer's take.
it's easier than ever before to build a house, yet less people than ever before are able to build one.
>>576574071>IDK why he thinks that was justifiedBecause he was holding court in his discord. He had Osh cornered in front of everyone and dressed him down. He was probably pestering him about the 2D sprite head on a 3D body for ages in the gamedev threads but couldn't get Osh to cave. So he just straight up embarrassed him in the discord. Shortly after, OSH literally defaced his own main character and ruined it's original design. Because Betz got in his head. Because Betz sees game developers as pets that he can collect and train and control and then put on a circus during his expo where he runs advertisement for Stake gambling. It's insane.
>>576574242>Because Betz sees game developers as pets that he can collect and train and control and then put on a circusEven after kicking them out, like he did with Fygoon. Kicked him out and then put his picture in that troll game of the jam. He sees Fygoon as his toy to play with even after banning him from the discord and v3.
>>576574242>He was probably pestering him about the 2D sprite head on a 3D body for ages in the gamedev threads but couldn't get Osh to cave.okay that's genuinely evil behavior but you put the word 'probably' in there which makes me doubt that slightly
>>576574347Fygoon is a genuine evil piece of shit bully who deserves to get bullied in return. You probably weren't here when he was attacking other gamedevs left and right ITT.What happened to Osh does implicate Betz, however.
I never know what shit you retards are talking about
>>576574552>game dev
>>576574465>fygoon bad thoughHe's just a kid though. You don't take someones real life picture and plaster it on youtube and cackle at it. You don't doxx them. These actions show that Betz isn't fit to have any kind of control or influence over anyone. He definitely isn't worth handing your game trailer over to so he can plaster it with gambling ads.
>>576574552yeah there's some pretty fucked up shizos in this thread who live in their own world
jon blow was able to make a game alone, writing his own engine, why aren't you?alone as in "we hired 4 people to write the shaders, i barely touched any shaders".alone as in "we hired a bunch of artists".alone as in "i had over 1 million budget from my last games".
proggy
>>576574598and DEFINITELY should not be making you change your main character. This is the problem with Discord. Anyone can gather a group of people in there and suddenly they appear to have power and can easily bully a nice person like Osho.
>>576574098>he doesn't know about building codes and zoning laws
>>576574838these kids these days with their pfortnightcraftubg
>>576573772>>576574824We're not joining you in enginedev hell, demon. be gone
>>576574598It's a bad showing of character on Betz's side, but again, I don't care what happens to bullies.His interactions with Osh is what's more important to me.
>>576574838oddly compelling. LODE RUNNER:VOID PROTOCOL ALPHA
>>576574838Looking at this hurts my eyes but I never knew I wanted a minecraft shooter.
>>576571839So what then? Write down everything the game needs and start adding up potential time frames for it all?
>>576574592
>>576571075I did, and I made so much progress. even though I missed the deadline I worked so hard to be ready by(last nextfest), so, I've ended up in a funny spot where my small game is basically done, but I didn't get a nextfest. I signed up for the next one. feels too far away though
>>576574071>>576574983It's seared into my mind.Betz: Hey Osh your character has a 2D head on the 3D body?Osh: Umm yeah...Betz: Why
>>576575446yeah that was the most autistic powertrip ever
>>576575492It was cartoonish. Betz gaslit everyone later here acting like it was nothing and Osh already having changed his character insisted he wasn't bullied but yeah. Anyone can see what happened there. Osh should have just said "Because I like it like that and it's original" but the discord cult powers are too much for some people.Betz has basically never admitted to a single wrongdoing and the list just continued to grow. I gave up on him a long time ago.
>>576575061If you can't complete a fully working prototype with all the major features for your game within a few weeks at most, then you probably shouldn't be working on that game. You should instead be working on making yourself a better game developer. The retards who spend years on the same NGMI garbage project are really spending 90%+ of their time learning gamedev and less than 10% actually productively working on their game.
>>576575697>spend years on the same NGMI garbage project are really spending 90%+ of their time learning gamedevIt's gotta happen sometime. Better to learn those things with small gamejam games though I would say. But a strong dev will have usually dropped multiple long term projects by the time they become fully capable.
>>576539784>roblox is a public company, they can't surviveand this is why no gaming related company should go public
I've even seen los posting in the /v/3 cord if you don't believe betz is the mastermind behind all of /agdg/'s problems you might be retarded.
>>576575697>The retards who spend years on the same NGMI garbage project are really spending 90%+ of their time learning gamedevThe thing is, they're learning at a glacial pace because they're not gaining new perspectives. They should be working on throwaway projects instead.
>>576576186That would require Betz to be affiliated with the ai spammer.
>>576557626>green dragon>it's clearly a knight of some sort
>>576576186>I've even seen los posting in the /v/3 cordI don't know what this is supposed to mean.
>>576576363He is 100% a slopper. I see the same retarded meme pics in the slop threads that he used to post in discord. He used to promote claude in his discord too.
>Hey anon, I heard you're making a game without ClaudeUmm yeah... >Why. - Not even a game dev
>>576576850and why tho? why won't you let claude into your life? SINNER!
>>576576967because im married to my one first lovegemini
>I'm so glad I can just use AI now and don't have to actually learn to code/draw/model/animate/market/design >makes nothing ever>still feels like they "belong" to the AI as some kind of movement and need to be all about itIt's so sad. This is happening to so many people but let's be real. They were never going to make it anyway.
>>576576850Anthropic's astroturfed marketing campaign is going to haunt game developers for a long time.
>>576577150I learned all of it. and now AI does it for me and life is good, I can just focus on the hard part(puzzle design)
>get dependent on AI to make some kind of sloppy prototype>AI prices massively increase as the bubble pops (as predicted)>your project is now dead in the waterIn actuality though, and I can say this from observation, sloppers aren't even getting that far. They can't even put together a prototype. That's what amazes me. But the bubble popping will be the definitive end of gamedev dreams for millions of people because there is no way they will muster the nerve to actually buckle down and learn to do it.And all those devs who already shoveled slop onto steam? That will be the end of their output. Only big companies with money will afford to slop it up anymore.
>>576577340cris has AI running on his laptop building his dream game
>>576577150>>576577340For the record though cris actually did make something. Officially he is the only actual vibecoder dev to make at least a prototype of game on 4chan in the past year. And the reason for that is because he was actually doing the work to learn to be a gamedev long before AI took off. Good for him.
Never forget Joshua and Pedro. Couldn't even make a prototype and took out their frustration on the thread with horrific spam attacks. The AI spammer (if it's not them) joins this pantheon. AI sloppers are truly the most wicked creatures to ever crawl the web.
>>576577481Small local AI models are actually alright at oneshotting small games but good luck getting them to change anything after.
Im a struggling veteran (rank: Fleet Admirlal in Pinball Space Cadet) and i messaged 5 strategy youtubers to cover my wargame i worked on for 2 years.. and finally!! a very kind-hearted creator put it on his top 10 list and asked for a build.I just wanna give some of you hope. good things can happen if you just sacrifice health and mental well-being.

Useless self indulgent blog post follows, filter "days left" to never see one of these again.I hate summer so much. I hate summer even when I'm clearing snow from the driveway and slip on the ice and then a dump truck drives by and splashes me with muddy frozen mulch, I think to myself at least it's not summer. The heat itself is not the problem. It's the sweat, the stickiness, and having to take two showers a day or stay under the AC the whole time.Didn't buy sweets or bananas today, so that's sort of a victory. Got to take whatever victories you can. I celebrated this victory with a big chicken sandwich. There's melted cheese in there too.Yesterday I worked on a prototype for another game. Playing it is a lot of fun (for me, no one else's played it) and I feel like it will be take less time to make than to finish my current game and have more mass appeal too. I'm too old hand at this to fall for it... again. That new project smell is so alluring but it's trickery. Besides, I got only 85 days left until my money runs out and if my gamedev career is going to come to an end, I'd prefer my current game to be the monument. And if it somehow makes it, then I'll make the other game a bit later.

i had the idea of a waterpark game in my head for like 8 years, and now its trending.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3293260/Waterpark_Simulator/maybe your shitty simple ideas are worth more than you think.that's why i think being too serious about gamedev can backfire. often those irrational stupid ideas that seems "pointless" are exactly where the fun is at.but we are conditioned that making money is all about making serious products and making very serious good decisions. which isn't how the entertainment industry works though.

one thing i noticed about popular things is that they often suck and have obvious flaws, but they have one core thing that attracts people.imagine a youtube video where the voice is too quiet, the music is way too loud and also annoying, the editing is horrible, it's only uploaded in 360p, yet it still has 10 million views because something happens in it that people want to see.

i feel like gamedev is about accepting what you can make. with flaticon.com i could literally make every game i could imagine. but it'll always be 2D with ugly icon art. and ofc no animations other than shakes/rotations/scaling.it's like accepting that you can date a 4/10 girl, rather than waiting 20 years hoping you can date the 9/10 one.maybe this is also fomo related. "while i'm making this abstract icon art game, i could be making my dream game". when in reality your dream game isn't in reach at all.actually climbing your way up with simple games first to get budget (or trust for a kickstarter) is much more realistic.

oh no! 6 months down the drain!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4k7yDfYx24thankfully that could never happen to me, someone who's never made a game, because I'm too smart and divinely inspired.

>>576590252I'm making incremental slop
>>576597941its so exhausting to listen to someone who constantly tries to figure out what others might find fun, what others might enjoy, what might sell.it'd be much more coherent and relaxed if he'd just share his OWN OPINION.i know it's a lot to ask for to have an own opinion on something, but damn. do YOU find the game fun? do YOU want to play it? do YOU care?it's almost like shifting all the responsibility to the audience so you don't have to be responsible for any choices you make.
it's a good thing i keep meeting cool people that are Hispanic or black or i'd be racist because their cultures are kinda shitty.
>>576598728#1 goal of gamedev is making a game players would find fun. making a game (You) find fun is a fallback for those who can't figure out how to appeal to an audience.this is the entertainment business. we're in entertainment. the goal is entertaining gamers, not yourself.
>>576598969uuurg shit opinion alarm
The spammer is trying to organize a raid on agdg after killing it by linking it in the OP of their slop hideout now >>>/g/109476795>Related generals>/bant/agdg/ — schizo-resistant temporary (?) hideout>/vg/agdg/
>>576598728Jonas needs others to tardwrangle him. His game ideas on his own are always shit or mid at best. Case in point, Will you Snail
I suggest a new name for the kind of game people are calling "roguelike" "deckbuilder"Arcade Deckbuilder.But I still feel like this isn't adequate.The main point is that these things evolved beyond roguelikes, so it's not suitable to call them that.Any suggestions?Also, any devs here making such a game can help by using the new name.
>>576598969The only correct opinion.
>>576599293i should finally make my zombie survival game where you are stuck in a commie block and all you do is loot hundreds of apartments in the massive commie block, cause you can't go outside. and you find all sorts of personal belongings and go through their stories (finding family photos, diaries etc.)and in some apartments you find survivors and you have to manage their well-being so they don't eat each other.
>>576597941Watching this video I just realized that some incremental game ripped off this idea and now there's a couple of them. I'm not sure which one came first but I'm fairly sure whichever it was took it from Jonas' videos.

>>576600083stop calling me he
>>576598728Yeah I agree with this. I don't know when the shift happened but its a big problem in the industry right now. It's like no one has vision of their own they want to share.
>>576599705because of his youtube audience.
would it be a good idea to make an MMO that takes place entirely in a universe where everything is made of shit. the planet is a giant shitball, you wear shit armor, wield shit swords, shoot shit balls for magic powers, etc. it is a horrible, dystopian nightmare world and it being made of shit is just the start, there are giant tapeworms roaming around and giant shit flies and dung beetles, etc. it is horrifying.
>>576600315
>>576599723wait a second I was in the last two v3s. I didn't sign up to have my game associated with this.
>nodev, japan
>>576600343giving internet to india was a mistake
>>576599293I feel like will you snail was a result of him going down the rabbithole to see what he could make in that moment by himself>no art skills>relatively new to programming and game designSo many devs take the shitty platformer route in that situation. They are easy to make comparatively.Him ending up with that game is the equivalent of Branno making Platform Gun as his first solo project. It's a game absolutely nobody asked for with a shitty fantasy and shitty gameplay and shitty art. He made it because it was what he could make. This sort of desperation leads to bad decisions and bad games. If that shit is all you can make you should work on your skills, not on shipping a game.
>>576600514> I didn't sign up to have my game associated with this.Did you sign up to have your game trailer placed in an advertisement for STAKE and BET365 and DRAFT KINGS gambling websites? V3 does what they want and you can't stop them.https://youtu.be/k6XxBTHZBhA&t=646
>>576600820Uh no I didn't?? What the fuck can I do at this point...
>>576600308I think vision devs are a small subset of the whole. You gotta have a certain type of dedication and confidence to dev like that. They seem rarer than they are because they tend to dedicate themselves to multi-year projects that take forever to finish. Our own include troonwiz, Monomythdev and Boku. These are people who know what they're making though Boku doesn't have the skill to make what he wants to make so he's never gonna finish. I think vision devs are also at larger risk of getting lost in the sea of shit. They're more likely to be the type of dev who just put their game into the internet and hoping people play it and like it enough to tell other people about it.
>>576601192Thank them. They showed your game to literally tens of hundreds of people. You think you're going to get that kind of exposure making posts on the internet? Stop whining you bum.
>>576600703Nah. Just make and ship a shitty game. The experience of launching titles is important.You think you're going to get arrested or something? You think you're going to be famous and everyone will point and laugh at your bad game that you put on steam? Being precious about your games and only wanting to launch something perfect and cool for your first game is cringe and guarantees you are NGMI
>game basically ready>can't be fucked making a trailer for the steam page
>anons who can't get a dozen people to play their game on itch arguing whether a $250k grossing 2000 review overwhelmingly positive game is good enough for a first project
>>576597941>discussing gamedevs with youtubesREEEEE ECELEBS>>5765987282:35 he clearly says what he finds fun. Found that just clicking around the video btw
>>576601636>The experience of launching titles is important.I agree and obviously it worked out for Jonas because of his youtube channel. Still I think that you need to reach a certain level of skill before there's really any point in trying to commercialize your games. Obviously striving for too much perfection isn't good either. There's a middle ground there where the game is good enough to have an audience of some sort. Taking a game to where it's ready for a Steam release is a lot of extra effort and so is preparing for the actual Steam launch. I don't think it's worth going through all that unless the game's got something going for it. Of course every dev has to make that decision themself and sometimes that leads to games like Surface Breaker where everyone else but the dev knew how it would go.
>>576600703Platform Gun was kino. And it helped him build experience to launch Healed to Death which was great.>>576603485Surface Breaker was literally good.
For Branno?I Stanno
>>576603846surface breaker looks like shit but branno is kinda cute
Branno turned into an arrogant flopdev
So rotate just basically posts his opinions and pictures of himself these days huh
>>576604139He misses his gook agdg bf
>>576604134Never happened. Anyone seething about ecelebs is usually just an ugly quiet person who seethes about anyone who is willing to talk on a camera.
I cannot make a game because I do not enjoy video games. I cannot improve on that fact I do not enjoy them because I am too stupid to articulate why I hated the games I "love."I am stupid because I have rotted my brain from being a gooner.I am a gooner because I do not enjoy life.I am intelligent enough to know I would enjoy life even more as a rich GMI goonercel because I could afford more goonish shit.Though I have realize that I cannot act because I am NOT a suffering genius/artist. I'm just a miserable cunt who chooses to be miserable because it's a faster dopamine cycle.I'm basically a retarded animal cursed/burdened with the fact I was born human.
>>576604513Projection
>>576604397>Singleton flannel dog dot jpeg
>>576605365I like gamedev youtubers. I like Branno. He's not arrogant or a flopdev. He made Healed To Death. He's honest and candid about his games that do flop. I'm not an ugly quiet person who seethes about people who do talk on camera.So no, no projection. You should learn how to use that word properly.

To be human is to ask questions, stop taking everything your subconscious says about you as fact.
so why do I need to pay someone to make generic assets like this compared to getting ai to do it, why will some redditor scream at me for it

PHYSIOGNOMY CHECKwhy do luddites look like this?
>>576609098You have a tiny head and beady eyes. Your wrists are very thin.
you cannot cure terminal goonerism with self volition because it's basically a prion disease, you completely lost self volition because it is a feature of your brain which you completely damaged and injured by using AI and gooning so much.You have brain damage, I'm not even kidding, and that's where you're from: your brain. Fuck all the gay philosophy muh heart muh god shit, keep your personal schizo babble to yourself, what's happened is a fundamental and simple neurological issue.You cannot help yourself intentionally. You lack all forms of self determination now, you cannot even control your preferred fetish anymore, you are a programmable slug now.If you're lucky someone might take pity on you and cut off your dick and ball and turn you into a tranny, but then you'll just shove things up your ass for a prostate orgasm because of how much you are a degenerate.Someone needs to tie you up and torture the hell out of you to reprogram you. That's how it works with all addicts and most addict fail even when they are forced to stop, sometimes they die from even trying.Basically it's over, and you can appeal to whatever anecdotes and therapy bullshit you want but you cannot cure brain damage.You are a NEVERGMI, you are a gooner hollow.There is no hope.

>>576609294>>576613061What anti AI retards fail to understand is that the AI generated assets aren't the product, they're just components. If I ask for an AI to produce sprites for a 2D top down game (which I don't btw, I only use it for coding) then that just means that the visual art isn't the product. The story, level design, mechanics, and general idea are what I'm making. That's different from a slopper who just tells Claude "build a metroidvania, make no mistakes" and doesn't iterate or build tools to refine the experience.
>>576613902>What anti AI retards fail to understand is that the AI generated assets aren't the product, they're just components.Use them then. Stop crying. TF is wrong with you. What is the problem, please help us to understand. What can we do to make you feel better about using AI?

I need to punish the internet because some people don't respect me using a certain tool. If everyone doesn't love me and congratulate me for using this tool, everyone needs to suffer.
I voiced my opinion and am now seething because others are voicing their opinion
>African slaves are useful tools too.we can make arguments about how all public llms are spiritually plagiarism machinesbut unfortunately that ship has sailed because they're not going to restrict generative ai in any significant way, anymore, so we might as well use it abstaining from it morally does not serve an impactful function@902my post literally covered everything you just said its like you travelled back in time to make the same argument i was addressing, you're 2 posts behindplease use chatgpt to parse my post if you feel like you cant keep up
>>576614262Use AI. Literally use it. Just stop crying to everyone everyday about it. It's not difficult. You can make a game and release it you know. You don't have to campaign on 4chan for years trying to change the world. The problem is you can't make a videogame. You're not capable even with AI. To hide from this, you have become a social justice warrior. You are the troon. Always have been. Always will be.
someone should make an ai that scans the contents of a post and decides if it's worth reading or hides itthat would be a good use of ai tbqh
>>576597941When I saw the name dodo derby a few months ago I knew it was going to be a hard sell.

>>576615569>I lose but how about [ad hominem]umm ok, I've literally been making games since I was 6 not that it mattersalso this>>576615808
>>576616071Nta what did you make game in at 6? I was using klik &play around that age
you fags still using that pedophile engine or did you finally grow up
>>576616457No I switched to Roblox
>>576616457I will not apologize for using RPGMaker
>>576616457im sold, what's the name of the engine?
>>576616709Pedot
>>576616932zamn im already using that, guess you were right with ur claim
>>576615808>cries louderlolYou don't even want to make videogames. You just like crying.
Should the following groups of people be more worried by AI than game devs?1. Onlyfans whores2. Music composers3. Radiologists4. Youtubers/streamers5. Novelists
claude just referred to my game as 'our game'.
>>576617871oooh, when are you moving in together?
>>576617871well yeah, he owns all your codedid you not read the fine print?
>>576616420rpgmaker
>>576617771Nobody is worried about AI. It's a joke. That's what happens when you tell people they're going to be replaced or left behind year after year and nothing happens.Youtube is even preparing to pull all slop content from their platform soon. It's over.
>>576618026I told claude to never sign a commit again after I caught it doing that. sneaky bastard
Reminder to destroy anime tranny freaks whenever they reveal themselves.
>>576618264>Youtube is even preparing to pull all slop content from their platform soon. It's over.already doing it and catching real creators. kurzgesagt or however the fuck that's spelt got taken down for looking like the slop clones of himself
>>576618890how come youtube is too retarded to double-check large pre-AI-established channels
>>576619231they didn't delete the channel, just shadow banned their latest video
>>576618890Gotta break some eggs to make an omelet. Next stop, itch.io and steam, spotify probably as well. Meta platforms like facebook and instagram will probably be the last to pull the rug, they are still training their AI. But everyone else is ready to give sloppers the boot.Gonna be a great quarter to roast smores over the slop fire. Next year will be even better.
>>576619440*but looks like they got in touch and unbanned
what a wild ride this last year has been and will befrom AI is garbage at code, to AI is good at code, to AI is too good at code and you didn't make your game if you used AI at all in the process.
>>576620104^ still has no gameYep. So much has changed.
>>576620104*and should be hung, drawn and quartered if you even glanced at AI for help instead of scouring the internet and finding a solution to a problem in an obscure forum post from 2007
>>576620335you lost that bet, but the odds were in your favor, I get it.
you were caught stealing reddit screencaps to pretend they were yours lol
>>576620572>used AI^still has no gameyou didn't make your game
>>576620104The way things are going code should be the least of their concerns, especially if they work in 3D.
>>576620675I remember that lol. Slopper screencapped someone elses steam sales page. Keep in mind, a slopper has no dignity or morals. Pulling stunts like that is trivial.
>>576620865nice try no-dev. >>576620675I'm not the AI spammer. I don't use AI for anything but code. I've been programming for 15 years.
I wish Steam would stop signing me out of Steamworks every week, it takes me an extra 3 minutes to check my sales
at least you admit that you do spam, even if indirectly
>you didn't make your game if you used AI Yes, people do say that. >AI is too good at codeNobody says that.The slop has already infected your mind. RIP
>>576621505>Nobody says that.I say that.
>>576621762and you're a nobody
