I have been using AI to make some promotional art. Am I scum for doing so? >>720115513Where have you been, OP? I have been waiting all weekend for this thread. It's monday morning now and I have to work for my day job. :(
>>720116271doesn't look too much like AI slop, so I'd say it's fine.>>720116271working on my game, instead of playing vidya like I promised myself to do lol. I need a rest but I also want to push forward to be able to have a demo before the end of the year.>>720116136Good luck with that man. I tried but ended up going for separated limbs.
>>720116457That's not my work, it was somebody's demonstration of how to do the shoulder area so that it bends realistically in every direction with minimal weight painting. But I can't wrap my head around the loops.
done a lot recently, added a basic pet system
>>720116271slop
Also been trying Rodin for image to 3D. Here is my first iteration on the left and the second iteration, a lot better on the right. No eyeball geometry, though, so nothing to animate. That is a big disadvantage to this workflow, if you ask me.>>720116457Thanks man>>720117169Slop, yes. But saves me the cost of hiring an artist.
>>720118214Looks cool, although I'd rather make the models on my own for the sake of consistency. Plus they are fun to make.
>>720118214AYO TEACHER THIS NIGGA USING AI GENERATED MODELS FOR NON STATIC MODELS. AN' HE WHIPPIN OUT THAT DECIMATOR MODIFIER
none of these are "games"you stupid fucks
posted a demo on demoday. there was an endless-loop-bug in my game on top of a lot of other issues. my ego is bruised and i'm now humbled
>>720120206i noticed this, but i still enjoyed the gamei broke out of this bug by spamming q/roar and movement inputs at the same timethe visual style is great, the movement felt fun, and the music heavily benefitted the atmospheregood job so far, keep posting progressi'll be excited to play a more refined form of your game in the future
>>720120398thank you very much for playing! the next blockout will (hopefully) blow minds
>>720120576take your time, but be sure to let us know when it's readyi assume you post on the vg agdg general as well? i don't normally view these v threads
>>720120647i have never posted in agdg. i lurked there a couple of times, but i never really returned since i found the amount of progress-posting lacking. i will consider since the demoday experience was really dope, all the devs are nice and leave great and honest feedback
>>720120826i'll check out these threads more often thengood luck with development
>>720120826>agdgno, stay out of that miserable shithole
>>720120904damn that's some dedication. thank you
>>720120206didn't know it was demoday. They used to shill those on /v/ but not anymore I guess, or maybe I missed it
>>720121108i've heard this as well. i guess i'll find out for myself. wish me luck>>720121801yeh i only knew because another dev asked me if i was joining. so i hastily and sloppily made an itch.io page and a demo
Weapon enchantments.>>720118973Give it a few years and everybody will be doing it. >>720120206Very cool. Got a link to the demo?
>>720121108the thread is shit, but the devs are fine. Thing is I believe the devs dont post there anymore and migrated to discord

>>720115513Installed UE4 yesterday, will force myself to work at least an hour a day on it until there is a complete product.

>>720122974>whats the discord?dunno. They told me to join but I'd rather not, got too much distractions already. Go ask over there.>ive been lurking those threads too and they arent really worth following t b hHey sometimes we got cool threads with lots of feedback and sharing tips and shit.
>>720123162>Hey sometimes we got cool threads with lots of feedback and sharing tips and shit.how often does that happen?for better or worse the threads on /v/ seem to be more on topic and civilized i actually look forward to whenever they pop up hereits probably the only threads worth peeking into and discussing
in godot how do you unload an object that's no longer on the screen from memory? like instead of just unloading vram i want to unload system memory too and just reread from disc after a certain point. i don't want to put the whole game into ram that would be too much.
>>720123367oh sorry, I was talking about the /v/ threads as well
>>720123583Godot has a garbage collector. It'll get wiped as long as the object is no longer on the scene and your code doesn't hold any references to it.
>>720123367>for better or worse the threads on /v/ seem to be more on topic and civilizedonly when certain conditions are met
>>720123885oh nice. is there a timeframe or does it just instantly free itself when there are no references to it?
A thousand light sources, and the Steam Deck is still pulling ~150 fps (not pictured, picrel is from my main PC). I don't think I can optimize this further, and it's not like there would ever be that many lights in a single area.
webm from late last week, I'm too lazy to make new ones.on the dungeons area, I started:>level layouts - 10 levels for this dungeon. handmade, but slight randomizing for levels 2-9>2 more enemies - zombie guy and wizard>some music for this arearight now also working on the hover bike races, in a 50/50 debate to just have either>Place: 1st, 2nd, etcor>map of the track w/ icons to show which position you're inprob gonna just say what place you're in for the races, cus thats easier and I'm lazy. Idk why I decided to make a game that contains multiple genres in it with how lazy I am...
>>720115513Nobody wants to be your friend, L. Rasca.
>>720124232NTA and dont use godot but all(?) GCs are run in batches so not instant. Many languages let you manually trigger GC. I think Unreal also does.
>>720125863those are some mindboggling effects
Made a new build for the latest Demo Day that adds in an explorable Fortress Fygoon, swappable armor sets (seen in the picture), new weapon characteristics, a tutorial when you begin a new game, and improved character AI. Xbox controller support has also been added for Mac OS X players; beware Windows players, as abnnr (this awesome guy: >>720120206) found that Xinput works differently between Windows and Mac OS X.Play it here on the official website:https://fygoon.com/game.htmlOr play it on the official itch.io page:https://nrasko.itch.io/the-frydarian-tale
I want to build a qt game like stardew valley but without farming. But instead with fishing as your main activity. Worth a go? I'm afraid that fishing is just a dead boring mechanic.
>>720126413something like that could be worth making, even if you end up scrapping it and migrating the fishing system into a larger game. I think, generally, if you're considering a game that focuses on one mechanic, that you should make it super tiny in terms of scale. That way you can focus on the design side of things, and hopefully program it in such a way that it's easy to frankenstein into other game projects. Like iterative building, I guess.there's that game web fishing which was pretty popular, and people seem to really like when fishing is added to games, so I don't think it's a dead or boring mechanic.
>>720126647thanks anon
>>720126413could be cool. Check out Fantasy Life i, it's a comfy game with farming but it also works 100% without it.>>720126402cool! I'll check it out later

>>720128950calling pokemon fans toxic and defending body type slop>"lmao bro, why do you care? it's only at the beginning of the game bro, lmao, grow up">>720129029nah
>>720129827This is why Kameo is superior. The fans are the least controversial people on the planet.
>>720129884the pokemon fanbase has every reason to be "toxic" in current year, the newest games blow ass and they deserve all the criticism they get
>>720129967That's what happens when you set a precedent of releasing a game every year. We're still waiting for Kameo's sequel after 20 years.
>>720129827>why do you carespoken like a woman. You need a new artist.
>>720129884>>720130119sorry Fygoon, but Vela and her short skirt go first
>>720130147yeah, fortunately he contributed very little so far, only a character portrait and some text boxes/fonts, which I intended to replace eventually since the portrait looked wonky and the text boxes weren't what I was looking for, so they were always placeholders

>>720130661what crimes did you commit?
>>720130661fangame? copyrighted assets?
>>720130661if you're making obviously copyright infringing stuff STOP TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT IT UNTIL YOU'RE DONE. fucking retards with their mario and zelda projects, every damn time. shut up about it and finish it, then release it. once it's out there nobody can stop it. they can C&D you and you can take your site down and wash your hands. you're not distributing it, you're not in trouble. but it's still out there and people know you made it. mission accomplished.STOP GIVING COMPANIES AN EARLY WARNING WHEN YOU ARE INFRINGING ON THEIR COPYRIGHTS.

>>720115513so, about the godot thing, outside of the community being what it is, how much of it's backlash against engine is due people trying to forcefully use it outside of it's intended purpose such as being an unity replacement and how much of it is due to the engine being actually sucks?
>>720131970It has some questionable decisions but it's not like Unity is without those either.t. Unitard

>>720132663>trannyobsessed
how complicated should my character rigs be? i'm going slightly autistic with this idea of doing claymation, and i've added well over 100 control points so i can warp and deform everything and i'm worried about performance as a result.
Windows decided to basically stop working but turns out Unity works surprisingly well on Linux, which was surprising. Just dragged all the assets and project files into a new project and things just worked. Granted I haven't tried the collab features yet.I miss Visual Studio more than I thought however. It's a bloated dumpster fire and I never used any of it's features, but I've gotten so used to the look and feel over the years that Rider or VSC just messes with my brain, hope I get used to it soon.
>>720132453that was a fair thing to give them shit for since they were massive shitheads, but the CM is gone and they didn't double down on the retardation since then so who cares
I'm developing an id Tech 4 SRPG.Imagine being a low IQ tranny working with godot or unity.

>>720133179what the hell is this anoncool kiwi btw
>>720133274It's a safe working teleporter
>>720131814Are you going to specify what it is or not?
>>720132871Your engine will probably only take like the top 4 active morph targets for each frame, normalize the weights, and discard the rest. The total number of morph targets should really affect performance too much though
>>720133437sure but where's the loli
>>720131865RetardEra and Bluesky's two blocks down, buddy.
>>720132967>but the CM is gonesouce?
>>720133970Currently busy leading the rebellion against laser machines
>>720132873Unity on linux is great, there are a few quirks but generally speaking I barely noticed when I made the switch to ubuntuif you use Rider, you can set it up so it acts like Visual Studio.
>>720134494I do use the same editor theme and hotkeys. It's more the overall look that's fucking with me. I never realized how much the visual consistency was such an important thing for my brain when it comes to scripting. It's weird.
>>720134730Yeah I dunno what it is but trying to edit scripts in notepad++ is so much harder, even if it's tweaking values with no need for autocomplete.
>>720132810please tell me there are other solutions
>>720134730I get that. it took me around a month of using rider every day to finally get used to it, and then another few weeks before I felt familiar with everything.my dumbass paid for it right away, so thats prob why I was really consistent w/ using it. I shouldve just done the free version cus I havent released anything yet
>>720130484You're saying this as if I haven't been a Jet Force Gemini fan since I was a teenager.
>>720131865>tfw I actually want the racist audienceI don't want the pedo audience BUT, the main characters in the game are teenagers and I'm 100% fine with them being sexualized and there's canon heavily implied /ss/, so...
>>720127838Thanks. I already got 18 or so downloads and I'd appreciate more feedback.
>my artist is a prominent porn artist with 50k followers>game itself has no lewd and characters are well clotheddo you think it'll affect my target audience?
>>720132967>>720134158seems like a bluff. high likelihood the discords and reddits related to godot are still in the hands of insane jannies with dyed hair, just waiting for another opportunity to push The Message. and the woman who actually worked for godot for money (?) is probably still around as well, so what if it's in a different position?
>>720137340Maybe
>>720137340No it won't. Porn artists and voice actors work on tons of stuff
Had a recent multiplayer session with some other devs from here yesterday. Got a lot of good incite from it. We were playing my game's online Tag mode, so I took a little bit of time to make a fully functioning Treasure Trove Cove map, complete with 6 Goals. Obviously it won't be in the final, but it was important to play on a smaller map than my sprawling original level I made. Also, in playing it in my engine, it's given me a couple ideas for my own levels. Now to work on blocking out my second level. it's a snowy forest with a Haunted House in it. Oy maybe I'll make Ellie first. I don't know. One of those two.>>720120206I played it. I had to find the right controller to get it to play, but beyond that, it's a really neat concept. I do wish there was some way to correct your jump arch while in the air, but beyond that, it's very solid. Player controller is really neat with how much you can do. I can definitely see what you're going for, and the love you put into it is clearly visible. The art direction is really cool, as well.>>720125053As I learned the hard way recently, optimization is KING. I had to do a LOT of optimization recently after I realized the computer I test with is very powerful, and I would like my game to run on toasters. Looks great.>>720126402I'll play your demo tonight. As someone who grew up with Reboot and other 90's CG stuff, I dig your art style.>>720133179No, God, no.

>>720138937damn seeing this little guy run around treasure trove cove is really nice. use this for viral socialmedia-posting. also thank you for trying my game. the air-control slider is set to max so i'll see what i can do
>>720139736he just drops the club?
>>720132967Godot is still neck-deep in the LGBTQ+ politics, but the whole appeal is that its license lets you ignore them freely.
>Get this every time the game launches after adding Godotsteam plugin from the Steam.run_callbacks call within the plugin's code>It doesn't actually cause anything to break but it's fucking annoying
>>720139856filename implies being staggered I think? but yeah I think he could be more obviously staggered if so, maybe fall on his butt

>>720140140ah that makes sense. disretard my regardation
>>720139856>>720140140yea it's the staggered so that the execution moves can properly line up instead of attacking his penis.
>>720131916>Are you using Unity? What kind of techniques are you using to optimize lighting?It's GameMaker. Basically, if we assume that every light is a sphere and doesn't have to respect the line of sight, then we can just draw a quad and interpolate the light from the center. This is a lot quicker than submitting a vertex buffer for every light, like I have done before.>>720138937>I would like my game to run on toastersI'm also testing on an extremely shitty laptop in addition to the Deck. Obviously it can't handle the 1000 lights test, it drops below 30 fps, but if I can at least achieve 60 fps on that thing during normal gameplay, then I know my game is well optimized.
Got save and load almost set up, with encryption and all that jazz. It's fine and pretty straight forward. All that's left is to restore the world state and think about using checkpoints or savepoints or neither. Nothing interesting really so have the usual goblin pic.>>720138937damn that's cool. Where do you get those levels from?>>720138965>full width text-box on a 16:9 screenstop doing that please, put some margins there
>>720140389hey that's how i beat gwyn from DS1
>>720140451I find them on different websites, like Spriter's Resource, or SketchFab, or stuff like that. Any place where people upload models, there are bound to be models from preexisting video games.
>>720140423are you reconstructing the world space position of each pixel from the depth buffer, then applying lighting based on that world position? so it's like a post effect that doesn't respect any material attributes?
>>720140670>so it's like a post effect that doesn't respect any material attributes?That's right, but I don't have to worry about that because of the simple artstyle.
>>720139412Don't talk to me, faggot.
>>720140808cool. I've used this approach to create light sources of shapes Unity doesn't offer natively, like capsules and boxes. dirt cheap. I think the effect should really be a standard known as something like "fake lights" or "post lights". it should be super common. instead it seems to be niche.
With all the stuff lately, Ive had some thoughts about my game being too horny..not in a fanservice or porn way, just thats the way it is. Problem or not?
>>720141382Not every facet of life needs to have coom in it, anon.
>>720140843Boo.
Is Unreal 4.27.2 good to use?
>>720141626Its not for coom either, think more fashion magazine stuff
>>720141723Oh. I mean, that seems like it would be fine. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has HEAVE influence from fashion and stuff like that, and it is a worldwide phenomena. I don't see any issues with that. I think people would actually like that. Do you have any examples?
>>720120206I got this bug and softlocked right before reaching the goal. 10/10 gg
Want to learn c# because gdscript is dogshit slow, but goddamn i hate microsoft and oop and net, cringe every time i create a script and garbage boilerplate that does nothing takes up half the screen already.
>>720115513Can anyone other 3D anons tell me a solution for a problem I just thought of? My rig is nearly done, I'm working on setting up drivers and small shapekey tweaks.But what do you do while animating using your IK based skeleton when you need to swap to your FK and vice versa? None of the FK bones are going to have the same transforms to start, and while you can copy that info from the IK and move them to the correct location, I don't think you can do the inverse for swapping from an IK rig to an FK rig, because of how the IK rig is driven by the modifier?Neither of my FK or IK rigs influence the mesh directly(in case it matters), they just control the base deformation based rig that the animations will be baked to for exporting to the game engine.
>>720142228You can modify unity's script templates to delete everything from them.

How difficult is it to make ui colors change based on certain factors in Godot?I'm just now learning about it, and it feels kinda daunting
>>720145762Sweet, then I will keep your comment and the comment from abnnr in mind when making the Xinput for Windows. As I said in my comment to abnnr, I never had the opportunity to test my game with an Xbox controller on a Windows machine and the only time I ever tested controller compatibility was on a ROG Ally store kiosk at my local Best Buy, where I discovered it was fucked and opted to make a note where controller support is only available on Mac OS X devices. Next time I compile a Windows build I ought to let you guys know if controller support works properly as I only have a Mac and, thus, can only comment for that platform - only God knows how bad controller support must be on Linux devices.>>720146128Think I'll rip off Kameo and Soul Reaver next for my next Fygooniverse project. I'll call it something cool, like, MORPH (registered trademark, patent pending.)Thoughts?

>>720146884You should only make one if you're sharing it with others.But I do have one myself, it's in the form of a notepad file where I write things to do, ideas, design considerations, and potential improvements. It's not pretty but it gets the job done.
>>720131626everytime i see new stuff about this game it looks like a different type of genre
>>720140084>GodotSteam pluginDid you make a custom version of the engine? Just download the prebuilt version.
>>720132453I also find it funny that GameMaker does the LGBT shit way more than what Godot does yet nobody says anything about that. Not to mention that two of the gayest indie games ever (Undertale and Deltarune) are made using GameMaker.
Engine warriors are even sadder than console warriors.
>>720146884Anon here's an honest to God opinion: Don't waste your time making one. I spent a whole year "working" on it with nothing to show.Just open an engine and add shit as you go. There is no "format" unless you are a AAA company.
>>720146884do it in a notebook, and get some of those post-it note things that stick off the edge of the page to help you organize it better.GDD is more about setting constraints for yourself. It's a general idea for what the game is and what the game is not.The ones you'll see game devs bring up like the Bioshock DD, GTA1 DD, etc. are more thorough due to the fact that they had large teams working on the games.Literally just have a few things about your general ideas for the game, followed by how you want your gameplay to be, how you want it to look, etc.Mine's in sections>general outline>gameplay mechanics>foundational code, managers - what they are and how they interact with each other>list of songs/music that I want to use as inspiration for in-game music>list of movies, paintings, artists, etc. that I want to use as inspiration for how the game looksif you overthink it, you'll just get lost in an analysis paralysis. So really keep it simple and don't worry about it, treat it as a general outline for what you want rather than strict rules. It's more like a reference than a strict "this is how the game will be" type of thing

>>720148036>>720150663I plan on outsourcing some work to people. Wouldn't it be wise to have some information in place?
>>720126413Webfishing already exists.
>>720154754Bragging about 18 downloads is like you bragging about not looking like something that should have stayed in your mom's used tampons when someone turns out the lights, you're as ugly as your personality, if you were a book i could judge by the cover you would be the necronomicon.

>>720157212Who's George Troonie?>>720157220What can I say? Homosexuals hate the fact I go against their worldview.

>>720123367>>720124145As you can see, such certain conditions have been failed. Thread will be shit until it bumps off the catalog.It fact it failed just within an hour after you posted that.
>>720156169Yeah sure but that depends on what kind of work you're going to outsource.Send them only what is necessary to get the job done, don't spend time making the entire GDD with all its framework and shit.

>>720158508You're a faggot, rasko. No amount of text walls will change that.
>>720158738Nice projecting. Now why don't you go on a rant about how I'm a "psychopath" who is "breaking the law" or some retarded shit like that.
I’m gay
>>720115513I'm a platformer/horror faggot so for me its Metroid, Chilla's Arts, etc...Trying to come up with a idea for a platformer or horror game that hasn't been already done 10000 times is impossible
i have decided to commit myself into making a coomer variant of angry birds
>>720158208I remember the before times, back when things were good.

>>720159150Fagoon, he proudly display his name and fuck ugly mug in his page.
>>720159628idk. I think the guy is an oddball but he has heart, I'll give him that. His website reeks of gmi energy, I can see his game getting a really strong cult following, even tho it's heavily in a niche
>>720159919>but he has heartGolems have no heart or soul, they are cursed jew constructs.
>>720159919You would be wise to stop talking to that loser. He has nothing of worth to add to any conversation.
>>720140451I just wanted to say that surprisingly that obnoxious shill with goblins isn't here and here you are.
>>720160054yeah idk why you have so many haters, you're pretty consistent with making your game so its prob that. just jealousy or whatever
>>720160054Did you make your own engine goonergod?
>>720160252Could be because I hate creeps that prey on children and I refuse to play into their delusions; because they are losers, they simply have nothing better to do than shit on people like me and people who are aligned with me.
>>720160054Rasko wanna cry?
>>720160171>obnoxiousyou shouldn't step into gamedev threads if gamedevs make you seethe that hard
>>720160386No, I've been tinkering with the Unity engine since 2016. Before that it was AgentCubes.
>>720160441>I hate creeps that prey on childrenSays the creepo that hangs out with kiwifarms children, sucked any underaged dick lately?
I'm gonna use the recently released and taken down VibeVoice to generate voices for my VN that I've been developing for the last year or soThis model that Microsoft released and instantly regretted and took down let's me clone pretty much any voice from a 50 second sample and get instant professional VA level results, I'm addicted to this shit
>>720160643Damn, the projection is so unreal, you could make an engine based on it.
>>720160651Oh and it's 100% local, most important part
I'm looking for inspiration for jumpsuits, like major kusanagi or samus, any ideas where I should look?
>>720160740Link?
Where would I go to find someone who could model horror monsters well?
>>720160727What's wrong, rasko? Did i hit too close to home?
>>720160904Nvm found it
>>720115513WTF are you guys doing for music?I don't have a single musical bone on my body. I've been ignoring it but I'll have to address it eventually
>>720161004sorry anon, the thread is in peak schizo hours. Try in like 10 hours, if the thread's still up it'll be much better than now.
>>720161004Plenty of websites with freelance animators and sculptors.neber saw anything good, really. Look at aaa, all looks like shit. Why not make it yourself and let someone finetune your monster?
>>720161171musescore 3, i never touched music either but i took to it pretty quick
>>720161171I bought a humble pack with Ovani music. Some of it is kinda cool but I dunno, using music that might already be present in another game feels kinda crap.>>720160171I'm here bud. Here, have some gobos, it's on the house.
>>720161173>schizo hoursLike midnight and gremlins?
>>720161267I can't into partitures. Is there anything that's more like guitar tablatures? That makes more sense to me.
>>720161171pic rel, Polyend Tracker and Electron Digitone.kinda pricey (around $1100usd to get both, not sure how much they are cost now), but I owned both of them before getting into gamedev (I have music background and was playing piano since age 5... Not saying "I'm good with music" just I have experience with it.)
>>720161350nta, I'm >>720161559 and the polyend (or any tracker, just look up "Tracker DAW" on google) has a nice workflow for people who dont like standard notations.Its not quite like guitar, only thing like it is guitar itself. Still nice and is more oriented towards programmer.
>>720161916how much of an expense could one of those be?
>>720161004how much are you putting on the table ?
My game is most likely going to be a flop. At this stage, I don't give a shit. I'm fucking done with gamedev anyway, I'm releasing this game and that's it. Fuck this shit, it's not worth it.
Remember to playtest your game anons, talk to other people to play your game
>>720162254Several thousand if your work isn't shit.
>>720162359Based quitter chud
>>720162359https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYzMYcUty6s>>720162507They tried it. They said the hitstop felt very nice.
>>720162134tracker DAWs can be found for free, one's called renoise which I like. The polyend tracker (alternative - dirtywave m8), is anywhere from $250usd thru $800usd depend on if you will buy it used vs new, old model vs new model.I like to use the hardware because I can sit on my bed and use it, or take it to my backyard with a USB power hub and use it that way. Nice for chiptune style, but is capable of much more.Still would suggest finding a free tracker-base DAW or pirate before spend $$ on the hardware. In case you don't like that style, it will save you a headache of return or reselling.Also, Bitwig Studio has a nice nodes workflow. I used that a long time, it's very easy to pirate too. Its not a tracker based, but is not quite like the other DAWs either (think of it as in between "loops" like FL or Ableton, and Composition like CakeWalk or Logic)
>>720158435So are you working on both Reinbo and the Avatar game at the same time, or just jumping to one when you get bored of another.
>>720162868>>720162134one thing to note, and I do not see many talk about this.. But the daw, hardware, whatever else you use, itself is like an instrument to learn.Similar to how your game engine is an "instrument" but for making games. You can't magically buy a tool and think it will make you a better creative person. Still need to learn the capabilities and limitation of what you will end up using. Once you know that, and can "dance" around the limitation, is when you find greatness
>>720162868thanks anon. I'm going to copy & paste your post and check it out when it's time to make some music, which might be sooner rather than later.>>720163032thanks for the advice!
>>720161065You missed.
>>720161171Use existing free, buy existing not free, buy someone else to make itDon't make music yourself unless you're willing to sink hundreds of hours
>>720163101music is a fun hobby, I make a habit where my first hour of the day is spent making a song. Not always good sounding stuff, but it is a good way to start each day.
>>720161171Here's what I do:1. Get a keyboard (or GarageBand for iOS with a virtual keyboard or GarageBand for Mac with Musical Typing)2. Hit some keys until you get something that works3. Go to BeepBox4. Create a midi based on what you were randomly hitting5. Export your midi and import it into a digital audio workstation of your choice (I use GarageBand for most instruments and LMMS if I want a specific soundfont)6. Export as a final songThat's more or less how I do it.>>720161271Why entertain such a moron?
>>720163403do you have any music you could share with us? I'm curious to listen to something an anon has produced.>>720163509I could ask the same to you lol. We both should stop replying to retards, for the sake of the thread.
>>720163275My issue is that I don't know how to even direct itLike say I commission someone for a track, how tf do I tell him what I want?>this needs more blorp, and some blaarps herelike idfkIt's easy with art. I just make a character sheet or even a basic sketch then send it to them to finish. If there's any adjustments I can draw over it
>>720163582you could send them other music as reference, stuff that sounds like the stuff you want.
>>720163575You are right. Meddling in the affairs of retards could do us no good.
>>720163509>Here's what I dowait, the music in your game is yours? Because I actually liked some tracks, like the one in the dog slum
>>720163582You should know what you want. Then you just need to learn to describe it. If you don't know what you want - describe what you do know.You don't need knowledge of the instruments, you just need the right outcome. Video game music is a vibe - at the end of the day it either fits what you're going for or doesn't.
I´m making new sprites for the turret enemies before starting on moving enemies. Still nothing final, just something to stop looking at boxes all the time
>>720162359This was me like a year ago. I now regret releasing. I should have just quietly quit without releasing. The world would have been a better place for it.
>>720163209Nah, i hit the nail on the head while you're giving head to those kiwi little shits.
Unsure if I make land enemies or go straight to flying ones, though I suppose grounded ones are easier to implement, maybe?
>>720163792Yep, everything in my game was made by me (aside from the voice lines for Alois Ratatosky and Balthazar Lux, which were done by my two best friends). Here's the Iron Ghetto's project file in GarageBand (for iOS, no less).
>>720163972>>720164054is this anything like Bangai-O? Nice progress but you need to add some juice to that game feel.
>>720164054Make that which serves the purpose of the game>>720163998Did you not like what you made, or did you not like how it was received?
>>720163716>Meddling in the affairs of retards could do us no good.You're a retard though so you're fucked
>>720162516Are you aiming for AAA quality models ?
>>720164173I haven´t played bangai-O, so I wouldn´t know. I´ll check it out, could give me good ideas. And I´m aware about the juice. I removed the screenshake and hitstop I had because the code I did was horrible and was breaking all the time, so I´ll be remaking it later>>720164176Indeed. Honestly the grounded enemies will serve their purpose just fine, I´m just really ancious to make a bossfight instead of basic enemies, but I gotta learn my way up there
>>720163575sure, heres a few Ive shared either to these threads or /agdg/ in the pasthttps://vocaroo.com/1louhBgxhVfbhttps://vocaroo.com/1219wXJwlSJUhttps://vocaroo.com/1kYS4k2eFtBkI like this one best, most fitting for the vibe I want from my game's musichttps://vocaroo.com/1bZI47ESUNxsthis one has guitar, but I cannot rely on guitar after breaking my fretting hand a few years ago. Still like to play but it hurts mehttps://vocaroo.com/12OrCBLOn4rpsome are processed in Unity cus they allow for tracker data files, some are just direct off from the tracker + digitone. Not really sure which is which right now, I scrapped doing the audio inside of Unity and will just do mp3 now.
>>720163792I'd also like to add that a selection of my game's soundtrack are available on my game's official website:https://fygoon.com/art/music/the-frydarian-tale-original-soundtrack.htmlWhen I finally complete this damn game, I'm definitely going to sell the soundtrack as a CD or something, in addition to other pieces of merchandise like Fygoon plush toys, t-shirts featuring the Emblem of the Fygoon Clan, assorted magnets, posters featuring my renders, and other assorted junk that would make even George Lucas blush.>>720163972>>720164054You know what game you should take a look at? Thexder. That's a great game that has this Transformer-like robot running around and flying around shooting shit.
>>720164418No, just something around the level of Choo Choo Charles' or Poppy's Playtime fidelity for a few horror monsters.
>>720164489>I´ll check it out, could give me good ideas.I bet it will. That game came to mind the very moment Insaw yours, they look and play very similar. Plus they are very cool games on their own.>>720164580damn anon, I wish I had your talent for music. But I'll try, why not? worse case scenario I'll have some fun making fart sounds.
>>720164598I might not play your game but I'd definetly get a fyplush. Would take pictures of it and post them in agdg every single day.
>>720164858thanks anon. its worth it, if you stay consistent you can get very nice results after a short period. just have no expectations to be great right away and you'll enjoy it.not music composing, but search on youtube "Tomo Fujita" he is mostly about guitar, but his outlook and theory on music is very nice. He's a really refreshing and positive outlook on creating things. He was my piano teacher's teacher at college, so I hope that you find things that can help you from his videos, even if his focus is with guitar music.
>>720165186will do! And thanks again anon, you are very kind and helpful
>>720164858Ok checked it out, it really does feel like what I´m trying to do, only more bullet-hell style. I don´t I´ll have all that stuff on screen at the same time, but basic mechanics do seem similar. I´ll make sure to play it to study enemy behavior and level desing, thanks for the suggestion.>>720164598Checked it out too. Damn I´d really have liked to grow up playing this, why did I just find out about this game now? The biggest inspiration I had for my project was a sidescrolling mecha game for the snes that only played once oh so many years ago. I don´t even know it´s name, a friend of mine rented it and bought to my house to play. I barely remember it but I had a blast with that thing
Are you ready for yet another open-world survival crafting game?The building schema's state is replicated - all of this is coop ready
>>720164598soul
>>720164768>Choo Choo Charles' or Poppy's PlaytimeSeems like quite a high bar actually. My game is mostly monsters as well so I'm used to model/animate unusual shapes. It really depends on all the goofyness you have in mind for your own monsters
>>720165926looks cool, I like how the gatling is also a hand. What game?
>>720162970jumping around. Avatar game I think I can finish in a few months though.
>>720164598Merch? I thought you were gay, ugly and conceited but not to that degree.
>>720165926>Seems like quite a high bar actuallyThats why I've got a budget.
>>720141658It's fine, assuming you are trying to avoid UE5 for whatever reason.
>>720161004>Spending money for a suboptimal gameWhat an oxymoron. If you’re investing cash into a game then it should fill out entire threads and YouTube reviews. Anything less and you’re just these schmucks, exploited and with less pocket change.
>>720166339I'm not here to make the game you'll never finish, I'm here to make something sloplike.
>>720166339not everyone's gonna make it? damn...
>>720165383I only learned of Thexder because of Lazy Game Reviews making a passing mention of it on the Tandy 1000. I'm into old technology (which is why I think Lenina Huxley from Demolition Man is, in my eyes, the perfect woman ever made in media, but that's another story) and because of my fascination with past technology I was introduced to a variety of niche games like Turrican and Ecstatica.>>720165850Thanks, dude. I have done all of the soundtracks for my games, some of them are great, others are complete trash.>>720166070You look like the kind of guy who """invests""" in LEGO Star Wars sets and comic books, if we are taking your consumption of anime as a benchmark.

>>720171915physical modelling of orchestral instruments. i use it because it's super clean and flexible compared to sample libraries. it's also really small, like a couple hundred megabytes compared to 100gb for some kontakt string libraries, so i can store it alongside other libraries fine.

>>720171814>Around 230. I already made 150ish.Woah, that's quite a lot. Very good progress too. Don't spread yourself too thin, though. I know monsters themselves are bread and butter of this kind of genre, but don't skip on gameplay and mechanics. Hope that amount of monsters won't bog you down with balancing and stuff.

A few months ago I thought of a new character that inhabits Frydar Island: a Dragon who, despite the Elvarians hating their kind, lives in DarkWood Forest. At last I finally modeled her: this is Ariel the Apothecary. As the name suggests, she is, in layman's terms, a Frydarian pharmacist. While there are a variety of apothecaries that litter Frydar Island, Ariel's work in the field of natural pharmaceuticals is second to none, as everyone, no matter the race, seeks her guidance if a disease grows too malignant. In her earlier years, Ariel married an Elvarian, Adalwin the Alchemist, and the two were faced with attempts on their life by mobs of both parties. Eventually, this culminated in an Elvarian mob gouging out her right eye and, in response to this hate crime, a Dragon mob lynched Adalwin the Alchemist. Since then, Ariel has mixed feelings with both races, as their racism had torn her world asunder; despite this, she continues to provide her services to anyone, as both Basileus Fygoon and Vicereine Iris are considered acquaintances of hers - though neither of them care to listen to her prattle on about "the dangers of bigotry" nor "the foolishness of racism".
>>720181169maybe. it's not that hard
>>720161171Was using RPG Maker for a bit, used a mix of free stuff and paid music you can get from the DLC store, on top of the default BGMs included with the editor. Eventually started making some stuff in LMMS. Eventually I'd like to do my own music for everything. I don't know much about it though, but I'm happy that I was able to make some of it myself.
From what I'm seeing making 3D games seems like a giant pain in the ass. Any advantage to going 3D over 2D?
>>720182135the art is a pain, the other stuff is generally easier
>>720182135I found 3D games easier to make than 2D because actually moving things in a 2D space in a grid fashion is a total cunt.
>>720182508I figured physics in a 3D plane would be more annoying, no?

>>720182135>Any advantage to going 3D over 2D?Reusing animations, including retargeting and blending them
Anyone here started with Unreal?I'm more familiar with it thanks to my dayjob making architecure cinematics so I kinda feel like I should stick to it...Never made a game in it though.
>>720182587>physicswhutif you want physics you turn it on, if you don't you can just bake it into animations.e.g. I have an NPC with a robe, he doesn't move much but I baked all the robe/sleeve movements into his anims because it can spaz out in retarded ways with physics.The player can equip stuff with dangly bits, those dangly bits have physics on their bone.
>>720182587Not in my experience. Then again, my only experience with 2D games always have their own physics system that just doesn't work with a more realistic system seen with Unity. Don't even get me started on how the hell falling block puzzle games even work - now that is pure wizardry to me.
>>720182664Why do I sense furfag miasma?
>>720183745I started with Unreal because it had all the resources and tutorials I needed for a complete noob + the guarantee of being able to handle anything I could make because AAA's use it too
>>720183745Remake culture will drive Unreal into the ground. Everything is homogenized to look like the Last of Us so people will hate the look as soon as the indie does it.
>>720181746This gay nigger just copypasted the gay dragon and made it a troon dragon
>>720115513added at least 4000 words of concepts/story/content yesterday into my notes
>>720115513I made a lot of QoL improvements, added new interactions, music tracks, animations, also audio settings actually do something now. If you're interested how RPG elements coud be mixed with adventure game, you can playtest it herehttps://madness-inside.itch.io/dirk-the-adventurerAlso feedback is greatly appreciated.
>>720116136you have to plan out your critical loops first. Don't just start with one polygon and mindlessly go on from there
>>720185674Honestly, my inspo is all PS2-Wii tier 3DAt that point I don't think it matters between UE and Unity for visuals.>>720188806nta but I've made several models with beautiful, full quad loops in convenient places but I'm genuinely questioning if it's even worth the effort when I go and study actual models from games.
>>720189127you don't have to worry about it if it doesn't affect anything. If you're happy with you're deformations then don't worry about it
>>720189127very nice pic, comfy
>>720131626>>720145752I love Mongol even if Agrippa thinks he's a loathsome insect
>>720183745>Trying to make a non-standard UI in Unrealuuuuuuhhhhh killl meeeee
>>720167023But I wouldn't?
>>720117098Are you introducing backyard breeding?
>>720165807Are you planing on letting people play multiplayer without having to rely on official servers?
