Game dev on Friday. Post what you got.
___________________________________________No.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
>>722340167when was the last time you even worked, or did literally anything productive at allstalking other actual devs isn't productive, its destructive by the way
>>722340321What did you do today? Oh, right: nothing.
damn... long enough you cant even remember...guess your mind just subconsciously gave up lol, whats new
>>722339901Erm... I'm not devving on a friday night
>>722340951>>722341017Looks great. So the boss will be able to throw crow shurikens?
>>722340167I swear to god I will have a severe schizo conversation with myself so hard right now if I don't actually post progress..
>>722341190yea tracking shurikens, you'll have to deflect them all
>>722339901making a game that's even halfway entertaining sounds excruciatingly difficult. I don't think you'll find many gamedevs on /v/, where posting is very low effort.
>>722341530Neat. I look forward to seeing that in the next update.
/v/, please help me. My game is almost done (like 99% done). When should I release it? Sometime in october or november?
>super interested in gamedev>spent better part of youth learning and trying to make games>turn 28>now doing gamedev is like pulling teeththe lesson is, release your game before you get too old, because once you do you won't want to do gamedev.
Wow is it already time for fagoon to talk to himself all day/night while pretending to be 4 different people?
>>722342236Fuck you bitch. I'm not fygoon. I just wanted to ask for help because /agdg/ is unusable but you decided to be a bitch.
Spent yesterday making a bunch of NPCs for towns
>>722342316Weird, I see no posts in this thread asking for help. Nor have you posted where you asked for help on agdg and had no response.
>>722342461How about this anon literally saying "please help me" >>722342095
>>722341564The good game devs don't post anymore because one retard annoyed them all by spamming the threads.
>>722339901Don't use this basedshit in the picture. C and Raylib.
>>722342576That's not a question anyone can answer.
>>722342662I just need opinions of people to weigh my options.
>>722342737>I'm 99% finished taking a shit>when should I wipe my ass?
>>722339901>Post what you got.I got a game selling idea...
>>722342662Moving the goalposts huh? Stop your shitposting with that other guy then.
>>722342845There is no goalpost movement retard. That's a stupid question.
>>722342448wholesome
>>722342448Looking good anon
>>722343035>>722342786Kill yourself fygoon
God, I detest fygoon so much...
>>722343487I'm not fagoon dipshit
>have to explain texturing and shading to a guy AGAINNever collaborating again, this guy has made me explain the same thing 5 times now.
>>722344083what, the core concept or some specific scenario?
>>722343943Sure you aren't faggot
>>722344145The core concept, doesn't understand how shadows work, how to bake lighting. That's fine since I do all that for him but he doesn't get how to assemble the texture set layers.
>>722344342
>>722342448looks pretty nice.
>>722342448would
>>722344661
>>722344814Imagine if you left and never came back how much better this place would be.
patreon or kickstarter for funding?
>>722345049Get a job hippie
>>722339901Just an advice, if you're making an action game make sure to include the Izuna Drop. It'll make your game a 10/10.
>>722340167Dangerously based
>>722345049Patreon feels scammy and kickstarter is more for marketing but can work if you're particularly good at getting attention

Spent the past two days editing the script for chapter 1 and two. But that's not fun to show off and spoiler heavy so here's a screenshot of Vanessa platforming in outer space.Cliax Codec is getting very close to done, which is pretty exciting.

>>722346816I could care less. It's more hilarious that you were butthurt enough that you had to do that as unlike me we know it's a challenge for you to do anything in 3D. Clearly you care more about shitposting spam nonstop then actually finishing your game.
>>722347404>I could care lessThat means you do care, and you do a whole lot.
>>722346373>Trailers must be 1440x1080Most retarded decision you've made, no offense. Why would you do this? What if the game is designed around 16:9 aspect ratios? This either rules out a lot of games or will lead to very ugly and/or incomprehensible trailers.
>spend 5 minutes making a shitpost insulting your posts and terrible game design>you spend a week making a responseWho really actually cares? Lmfao
track has new parts. doing my own squarewave compression crashed my daw, so no bass yet.https://voca.ro/1eTCFAMFsgcQ
>>722340951>>722341017>>722343556cool shit conceptually and in execution
>>722344365Think of it as a chance to practice a good soft skill for your professional life
>>722339901I'm doing Heartbeast godot tutorials and another random GDS one rn, after making pong and arkanoid in LOVE. I feel very stupid man, differences between godot 3 and 4 make me confused.What are good places to talk about game design and post progress or at least lurk?
Gotta update our games on Steam cause of the RCE. Thanks Unity.
>>722347658This is the requirement for the spin-off show which I do not run. The other organizer records the show onto a VHS and then rips the playback to have an authentic VHS stream so that's why he requires it to be in 4x3
>>722349294Didn't they provide some hook to modify the exe/dll? I feel like Steam could use it to update every game themselves.
>>722349510They did and we're testing if nothing broke right now. I can't imagine Valve has the manpower to fix and test every game, they already patched Steam to try to stop any shenanigans. I don't think they even have a way of knowing which Unity games are affected.
>>722349646>I don't think they even have a way of knowing which Unity games are affected.They do because Unity stores the version in plaintext.
shouldn't have been made on a friday, i guess
Just trying to get some feedback on my game at the moment...
>>722342623more like pee and gaylib
>>722351574i dunno it looks cool
what about a game killing commies?
>>722351913i once put a shitpost game together where you shoot liberals and it pissed off the community i was in at the time. so go for it, could be funny
Goddamn, I always try to hold out hope for these threads but they invariably turn into nodev spam.
>>722339901When you hire freelance devs or work online with devs, how to make sure they don't rip your source code?
>>722353507why would they have access to my source code
>>722353507transfer of ownership over the code they write
>>722353507Meh it's all AI generated anyways.
>>722346959looking cool + nice cutie you have there
>>722358105Thanks! We try
thinking about making a MMO simulatorlike Lineage 2 but single player with streamlined grind and shieeet
you guys make these threads way too often
>>722351913"Wolfenstein but with commies" seems like it's an untapped market. And if you're going for an exaggerated theme, you can have big dudes who literally fight wielding hammers and sickles.
>>722358694Commies are a protected class
>>722358694>"Wolfenstein but with commies" seems like it's an untapped marketwasn't Singularity about commies? can't remember
>>722348345thanks
>>722358846love the transition, but isn't the slash a bit too slow?
>>722359296I'll speed it up in game, but more frames makes it easier for players to see it to parry.
>>722358694what about antifa? will they sue for copyright infringement or something?
>>722359786theyre not an organization so they cant sue right :)
>>722339901The absolute state of FOSSTARDS
>>722360081who?
>>722339901Since i was reconstructing the skeleton before moving on with animations i added 3 cohesive armor sets into the game. I came up with a less creative but vastly more streamlined way of mixing and matching the various meshes. Im also changing the default set to something simpler as well.
>>722361792love the colors and design of that armor set! good job man
>>722361884Thanks man, I really hate blender so much lol. I ended up using the same chainmail pants for all sets with different materials for each. That way I keep 1 in blender and attach boots to it lined up correctly. The gauntlets and chestpiece are easy enough but this way everything stop clipping. I also changed the style of armor to rest naturally at an a pose as I noticed t pose models were getting badly deformed.
on my side, I've integrated the facial expressions inside Godot. Was quite simple by just adjusting the material's UV offset like some anon suggested.Also for some reason my dude's face reminds me of Robot Chicken, but I might just be going insane.>>722362132I don't want to imagine how hard it must be to make a lot of armor pieces be compatible with a custom character. You are making great progress man, keep it up!
>>722362298and here's how it's setup: I made a new type of node named FacialExpressions. I feed it with the meshInstance3D and the dimensions of the texture sheet for facial expressions, then set them by doing calls like the one on the left, first parameter being the surface (eyes or mouth) and the second one, the index of the expression. This allows me to use facial expressions on the player, npcs and any enemies that might require them with 0 copy&pasted code. I'll probably just map those to some constant so I don't have to write a call for each animation.
>>722360081Looks like the openfront guy was just trying to cash in on free labour, what a dumbass
>>722362298Trying to merge verticies can sometime be more of a headache so i will at times rely on weight paint and small overlap to keep things clean. It is a bit cheaty but it works. The facial expression rocks! Really cool using uv offset in that way too.
>>722362819yeah, but instead someone else cashed in on his free labour. Btw should I add some kind of license shit to my game's page, or is it implied that my shit is mine unless stated otherwise?
>>722363458As long as you dont accept an open source license you can consider it private. But you also need to consider whatever you use to make anything, like any software, what their license includes for you.
>>722363458The basics are that you have automatic copyright and licensing is to give rights to *others* so you don't need to put one if you have no intention of letting others use your work. Of course do a little of your own research, no reason to take some anon at their word.
>>722363810>>722363908thanks anons>Of course do a little of your own research, no reason to take some anon at their wordsounds like the right thing to do yeah, I'll look into it. And I mean actually looking into it, not asking some IA and taking it's answer like an absolute truth like some retards do.
I'm cobbling together what's left of the changes for probably the last meaningful update. I set up some optional onscreen controls to make the game more playable on vertical touchscreens for maybe a mobile port. I'm worried that the buttons aren't big enough or that the black space will look like shit on a phone screen, but I'll get there when I actually set up a testing environment for that.
>>722363995Yes AI would probably give you a tard answer. It also depends on what your goals are. If you want the full game studio name, trademarks, the works, you can get pretty lost in the weeds with llcs, registered trademarks, but it gives you privileges like enhanced lawsuit power over your own shit and protecting your personal assets by separating you, the person, from the game.
>>722364026cool for android. will it then be playable on chinkheld?
>>722364026that's very cool anon. Also I love the little screwdriver on the side of the options panel.
>>722364329You mean those steam deck adjacent emulation devices? Don't those normally run Linux? It already runs on Linux natively, but this should make it playable for anything running on android or without actual buttons on the device.>>722364340thanks gamer, that's very kind
>>722364649no, i meant those android-based emulation devices. judging by your answer it's probably fine
>>722364026Please for the love of God make an android port. I need that shit like, yesterday.
>>722339901Even if I had the talent and resources, nobody would care.It's over.
>>722365237this nigga gave up before even starting
>>722361884These guys are giving big Totem Pole vibes
>>722365409lol. I thought about making them an enemy, but it would be way too goofy.
>>722360081That guy is a retard but the other guy is TECHNICALLY breaking the rules of the GPL by not disclosing the source which is a requirement as per the The GNU Affero General Public License, and I don't see the source available anywhere on diep.io
>>722365334Why do these anons come in here just to say this stuff? Did MegaBonk mind breaking people for real?
>>722367998I think sadposting is just people that are bored and what to get some attention
>>722368109>and whatand want*
>>722367998He's right that it's really hard to get people to care even if you have something that's pretty "good." ("good" in quotes because there's so much subjectivity, perhaps you have something great but it's a genre with few people interested) But it's not impossible and giving up is a bitch move.
I added a search function to the transcribed nodes.
I'm going to sleep. Good luck with your games dudes
I've been following a tutorial series for coding a VN. I'm about 60 hours in and I'm still clueless about everything. How long until it clicked for you guys.
>>722370636
in case any 3D artist here is interested in collabing: >>>/3/1019308
>>722370636VN is the easiest thing to code, just start fucking around with it and figure it out as you go along
>>722370636Bro stop reinventing the wheel and just use renpy
i really wish that I didn't stop development, I had a good prototype going. I had collision down, movement, room changing, enemies, spells, mana, health, bullets, charged bullets, etc. The big holdup for me was making a kind of map editor so that I could manually place/delete blocks on maps, save them down, and use it at runtime. Also, I wanted to have smooth animation and pixel art, but I have zero artistic skills. Still, I got pretty far. At that time there were some other anons on /v/ making some AMAZING 2d art that I really wanted to emulate for my game.
>>722346959Looks good, I'd like to see a webm of this.
>>722339901How do I get into making skyboxes?
>>722373274That looks cute and fun. Level editors are always worth it in my opinion, even if they take some time to finish. It makes the eventual level making process a lot more enjoyable.
>>722374578Go outside and take a picture.
>>722374679>Level editors are always worth it in my opinionfor sure, 100%. I could just never quite wrap my head around writing and reading everything from jsons in c++. I think the art and the animation problem would have been much easier to solve, if only I had overcome the json issues
>>722351574This is what I thought from the trailer. On phone so can't play demo.>ZamN cloneSeems too grounded but not gritty. Nor is it cartoony for a ZamN clone.Doesn't look distinct enough, all the monsters are just dull green and one bright green.The park area looks too open. Add more obstacles and the ability for you and monsters to vault over them. Make the guns more unique. Cram real prototype guns together like a gyrojet plus something and change the sounds up.Listen to the FTL game soundtrack(or something else you like) and add one sound from the hostile sectors to each song.
>>722374773>jsonYou could also use a plain text file. Being able to read the data like this is also very useful and whatever performance penalties will likely not matter with modern hardware.
>>722342448Built for omo
>>722374916>json or txtwouldn't they both be pretty functionally similar? The main issue for me was always targeting the file to read relative to the executable. With AI being so much more popular and powerful now it would probably be way easier to find solutions, but back then I was asking on /g/ where people were pretty unhelpful (or worse than I at coding)
>>722369693Good night, thanks for keeping these threads bumped.
>>722374773>tiled levels>jsonwtf, why. just store the room data in a 2D array.
>>722375912I was thinking of storing it like this
>>722375120I could tell you if you're using electron, but yeah AI can do it too I bet.
>>722376372again, if you intend to do tiled levels with no overlaps, the simplest approach is storing all tiles in a 2D array of IDs where each ID can be mapped to blocks of different textures, enemies and so on.storing that shit is then super simple because you can just write the entire array as raw data (if you have variable room sizes, store two ints for lengths).the overworld can be yet another 2d arr where you store the offsets for each room.for even simpler storing, make em 1D arrays and just imagine the splits between each lane.
>>722377919so rather than having the three different arrays for blocks, enemies, and entrances, just have it be an x/y coordinate, and then an identifying number for what to spawn? so like 1 block, 2 ghost, 3 entrance, 0 for empty, etc, and then fill it into the relevant array for the runtime? ie blocks for collision detection, enemies for moving around, etc
>>722378253yup. also makes the editor braindead simple cuz it's just paint with tiles.
>>722378253You don't need to store an x/y coordinate. Just the width and height of your map, and width*height tile type IDs (numbers). It's fine to make the map dense, because you're hand making it, anything you hand make will be small enough to not matter when it comes to file size in this context. If the size does seem to big, you can just zip it up and it will compress extremely well.
I've been keeping this character a secret for a long time! This is Fygoon's Horrible Ex who left him for General Grex! She's a tramp (but you can see why Joey would go for her, look at that body!). Her mission in Chapter 20 of the Frydarian Tale is a tale of distraction as she tries to blind you to your mission at hand. Find out more next DD! PS She's only 6 in Frydarian Years for all my CHADgooners out there!
>>722378979It's hard to make out her appearance here. Needs a clearer pose.
>>722346959>Full team of guys>No active TwitterWhat gives? If a solodev is nihilistic and thinks Twitter is pointless, that’s one thing but there’s no way 10 whole guys feel that way.
>kickstarter goes on strikewelp
Remember that low enemy variety is a genuine complaint and indies cannot get away with it
>>722358846How many sprites?
>>722379713but what if I just do simple recolors of my enemies?
Made this drawing of the nun doing this pose, which I gonna use for the result screen.
>>722379789its appealing
>>722379785The game in question already did that with 2 of the same Enemy.
>>722379789What a silly goose
New sloppa just dropped, now you can make transparent animations with alphas which makes PrOOPting animated sprites even easier.
>>722381180amazing
>>722381180AI is only good for furry porn
>>722339901Looked into how to set up a camera that tracks a player within a box. Also got the looping level look working out.
>>72237975840 frames for that one
You gooners better stay away from Princess Jezzabelle, hands off!
>>722379925seems like he redrew that which takes a little more effort
Cheshire design... retouching the crap out of it... ai is good for starters but man there's a lot of retouching
>>722382000It's also really good at animating characters shitting for some reason, don't ask me how I know.
>>722381180reeee my comfyui doesn't have that final node in the setup. Is it apart of some random pack? I couldn't find it in the manager. savepngzip_and_preview_RGBA_AnimatedWebp
>>722382259>>722358846>>722340951see if I had this talent I would make coom sprites for my vidya. I can program but I can't draw for the fucking life of me, and it's a problem because I REALLY respect and love good animation and good sprite work. I would play the shittiest game as long as the sprites were animated well.
>>722341017Good stuff
>>722339901I got annoyed at my test pawn just floating like a lifeless barbie while being moved and couldn't be arsed to find animations, so I set up leg animators and arm IK to give some semblance of movement. Need to finish the arms, Irish dancing mode for now.
>>722374773Straight up store the data as bytes in a .bin file, much more efficient than json and doesn't need any conversion to and back.
does anyone actually understand how silent hills camera movement actually work? how do you move based on where the camera is but still make it dynamically face whatever orientation both objects are?
>>722382260Ugly face
>>722382260Holy shit fagoon, just give up already
>>722386482Movement is relative to the player not the camera.
Is it bad to have bad voice acting? And when does bad voice acting become so bad it's good/funny?SF64 had horrid voice work yet is still one of the most memorable and quotable games in history. Then you have games like Resident Evil and the 5th gen Mega Man games, among many others, all enjoyable despite being bad. Then you have awful ones like FFX, Hogwarts Legacy, that one NBA game, that are just awful with almost nothing worth noting. Where's the line? I ask because my game is going to have lots of voice acting, but I don't want to shell out tons of money for "professionals" when I get to that point.
>>722348903Here if you're lucky and people see and care to reply to your post. Other than that maybe a discord
>>722373274>>722342185I feel that there can be a lot of factors that go into quitting game devving. Age is likely low on that list, you have guys like Air Strip Angel work on a game in his 30s. But having a strong drive might be needed or people encouraging you
>>722379789>yeah I cucked you, whatchu gon' do 'bout it?
I envy people with an active passion project they've been working on for months/yearsI can't find mine. I have (hopefully) commercial projects but I know that you simply can't go for a deep down game without a team. it's doomed to be extremely lackluster.No matter how much I learn and improve the dream remains elusive and only money can change that.
>>722391169>you simply can't go for a deep down game without a teamif you ignore all the one man projects, sure
>>722391265My obvious intention is that a proper deep down game requires budget, otherwise it's not a deep down game.also name 5 OMA deep down games. hell, name 2.
it's wild to me how much my game has evolved over a year
>>722390363I think the age of the game plays a bit part to it. Also goes if you're trying to ape the style of games of that era. If you're going for something more modern you might need to ease people into the bad acting, if anything at least make the audio sound good.
>>722391169i have both, use my extra incom on the big one
>>722391376The question is what are your expectations?if you're thinking of 3D physics based combat there's We Who Are About To Die.
>>722391376>>722391169>deep down gameAre you talking about that game Capcom never finished?

>fygoon and the other literally who are still fightingWHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR ISSUESJannies should just delete this thread on sight, it's devolved into old SFT territory and there's no way any new gamedevs see these threads at this point and think "hmm I should basically take the risk of doxxing myself to post in here"

>>722393976Early Access game with a description that is short and literally says "very bare bones" isn't really representative. Dude didn't even try to market it yet it seems if he couldn't even get a friend to drop a review for him
>>722392946Yes, I take deep down to be a dungeon crawler action game with heavy strategic focus, meaningful items, limbic damage, directional attacking/blocking. But I haven't watched the actual gameplay in years so maybe my perception of it is different from what it actually was. that's the feling I got from the main trailer though.>>722391815Not quite what I have in mind but it is an impressive game for 1ma.
>>722394378>Dude why you give up like a bitch? Just make the game so I can shit on it because I'm a worthless loser who has never made anything of value himself, for me it's the only way I can feel good about myself!

And I guess if you want to be very pedantic, we collaborated with someone for some additional musical work. That's not exactly a huge full-time team.
>>722393976Do not make it obvious you're a third world developer. Hide any traces of chinese or SEA. Only Japs can be proud to show they're Japs, Korean's are trying too and it's working (for some) but I filter those anyway.

>>722396357why does the camera not follow vertically when jumping? is it jank lerp or on purpose?
>>722397443 The creator has autism and doesn't know how to see the world from his own perspective
>>722397443It only follows vertically when you land or move more than a certain amount, I believe. All our games have lazy cameras, we feel it's easier on the eyes. The levels are designed around it so we haven't had anyone complain yet.>>722397492please have patience
Not on my home PC, but I managed to write a save/load script that saves player's stats and units in his army, then loads a new scene and repopulates it with player's army and scripts required for AI to work. I'm really proud of it.
>>722397523some lerp is fine but imo having the characters head go beyond the screen looks kinda wrong
>>722397523 Why do I need to have patience? I'm not the retard's father

Almost recovered from the flu, I'm gonna try to do some dev today.>can't remember what I was last doing
>>722397621That normally doesn't really happen but the space environments have lower gravity. Could look into tweaking it so it doesn't happen though.>>722397624It's a reference.
>>722397152Genokids made all the social media things and that’s 2 guys. I’m not gonna ask for a Spotify and a Discord, but filling up this part of the Steam page is 10x more effort than most anons who just want to release and forget.
>>722397734Yeah but an autist wouldn't be able to make a gameThat would require understanding another's brain apple
>>722364026I love this game's interface.
>>722393976I don't want to play as women (neither do women unless it's sims)
>>722339901No progress for Wagie Run yet, because now im currently updating my checkpoint mechanics. But crisp checkpoint mechanics, requires good checkpoint gate design. And since i already said i want to buy asset from asset store, i stumble upon this 3D Cyberpunk-ish environment bundle:https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/hypernova-bundle-9-packs-310001Like, kek wtf why is it so cheap? I cant just see that and not buyed lmao
>>722393330Better, but crows are hard to distinguish from bats
>>722400867No they're not. They got very different wing and head shapes. What?
Does anyone know what happened to Mongol dev? His Youtube channel with his progress is completely gone alongside his Mongol 2 trailer
>>722396357camera sucks
>>722401004Not in a fast animation with other shit happening on screen
>>722402527Is this about the camera's vertical movement? I posted before that we'll look into it, we probably should have realized we need to tweak it to move earlier with low gravity.
>>722401251Again? Another nervous breakdown. He was almost there, damn.Are there any cool metroidvania upcoming? Crow, maharachi and mio seem great, rest is copy paste of basket content.
>>72239948Fuck off asshole.
>make gameplay prototype work using primitives, combat log and one sound>just play it every day and dread the amount of work that needs to be done to make the rest of the game
Are there any up-to-date tutorials for Gamemaker 2? I think Heartbeast's can be a bit outdated now.
>>722405738Anything specific or do you just watch tutorials with no goal in mind?
>>722405738You really don't need a tutorial. Just think of what you want to do, think of steps you might need to take (e.g. to move a character you need to check if a button is pressed, and change position if so), and if you don't know how to do a particular step you google how to do it.
Irrlicht is a comfy engine. If you're aiming for late-90s/early-2000s graphics and are thinking about enginedevving, consider modifying Irrlicht instead of starting from scratch.>C++>just a small-medium sized library, not a behemoth that takes over your entire codebase and build system>importers for Quake maps and various model formats of that era>look around the forums and you'll find third-party loaders for other formats like GLTF>basic collision detection and convenient related features e.g. efficient triangle picking>lots of examples>built around fixed-function pipelines, but some support for shadersKeep in mind, it's more-or-less a dead project. There's one guy still adding to it (using SVN of all things) but he doesn't really have enough time. You should assume that the codebase you fetch from 1.9 trunk is all you'll get. It still uses SDL1 and D3D9, and only recently dropped Windows 98 support.But because it's relatively small and simple, this isn't really a problem in the same way it would be for a bigger engine. It's feasible to fork and maintain it and most projects do that. Some of these forks (like minetest) are open source and can be used for reference.Realistically you should expect to need to heavily modify it. So far I've>stripped out all its makefiles and replaced them with CMake>reorganised the codebase a bit>updated the SDL1 "driver" (irrlicht's term for platform backend) to SDL3>removed all the other non-SDL backends>fixed some issues with windowed mouselook>removed the DX9 renderer, leaving only the OpenGL 2.x oneMy next step will be to write a new renderer using a modern graphics RHI. bgfx and Diligent Engine are contenders but I'll probably go with SDL GPU, because I've played with it before and I'm already using SDL3. When that's done, I should be able to build for Windows+Mac+Linux+iOS+Android. There are also NDA console backends for SDL3+SDLGPU which would be useful if I later want to do a Switch port or something.
>>722406221Whole series would be nice as refresher, but I would like something about saving and loading specifically. Heartbeast's tutorial didn't work for me and ended up making a hacked up solution using .txt file.>>722406407There are plenty of little things and tricks that I could miss if I were to do everything by myself.
>>722394378People drink the social media kool-aid and genuinely believe marketing and presentation is a sham. Most never get far enough to see they're wrong, but I feel bad for those who learn the hard way they fell for a meme.
>>722403579He's done this before then? I hope he comes back soon and is well. At least his steam page is still up, I'm hoping it won't get taken down
>>722393976Not even a trailer, just screenshots. I can't see the gameplay. So guessing they just used a game engine to let them place things on the screen, but nothing else is done beyond that (many such cases)
Nearing done with this weapon. It's weird to think how close I'm getting to asset-completeness on all of the enemy combatants in the game.
>>722407304Marketing feels scummy at the best of times. The output of creative effort is something you can be proud of, you work hard to accomplish something cool and you feel good about that. Shilling what you have created makes you feel like an asshole. People generally don't like doing it, no matter how essential it is to success.
>>722407304>>722409315There's levels to it, but seeing indie devs desperately spam post their game on every twitter dev # trend is sad though.
>>722409315A lot of indies hate marketing, and I do too, but it is absolutely necessary. Good games don't sell themselves anymore and it's naive to think so.
>>722409315>>722409583The only marketing anyone needs is /v/. Twitter became a crater after the election and the idea of it being a serious non-bot website is laughable.
>>722409583>Good games don't sell themselves anymore and it's naive to think so.Go tell that to /agdg/.
>>722409702I haven't posted progress on aggy in years because of that kind of shit. Too much gossip and crab bucket mentality.
>>722393976Looks like Marmoreal garbagewhy the fuck does it even have an fps counter? No trailer. Looks barebones. Early access
Are there any games with LOD that take into account the object count?Like, if there are 20 characters, LOD1 start at 20m, but if there are 200, LOD1 start at 5m - something like this. Dynamic LOD settings.I'm curious if there are an public algo for it, at least from game that made good use of the idea.
>>722379785i think thats fine as long as they get new moves too
>>722395860I'm blocking traffic in the road and there is nothing you can do about it
>>722411231Yeah I feel like what it takes to make a new enemy is>enough visual distinction that you can recognize it's separate from a thing you've seen before>it has different properties and behaviorsI don't think you need dozens and dozens of fundamentally distinct designs, what makes enemy variety meaningful is that encounters play out differently depending on the different threats you encounter.At least, I'm hoping and praying that's the case, because I'm leaning on it extremely hard.
>>722395860>>722411346Question: When I play is it multiplayer? Will I see other players? Does my traffic blocking even matter?
The month to work on spooky stuff
>>722411473Take a look at Monster Hunter. They've got a pretty good spread from "literally just a color change" to new creatures that are just barely related, and it actually adds to the fantasy because all the creatures obviously place on an evolutionary tree.There's also various other cheap tricks you can employ, color is just the one that's been available for the longest time. Different textures, sizes, sounds, putting on various extra bits like horns or armor. You could even get the player to like that the enemies are reused by making that an active part of gameplay. The obvious thing would be "+5% damage to goblins", but maybe instead your goblins carry around bombs that the player can use, or special golden version of enemies that drop a lot more gold then usual.
>>722411473People are expecting 235 now. Pack it up if you think 10 enemies and 5 recolors is anywhere close to adequate.
I spent the whole week trying to make some tiles that look good and failing miserably. I´ts clear to me having some skill in character design doesn´t translate that well into environment design>>722391737This is cool. Great progress
>>722412301Even Silksong is full of recolors though. You've got all the different variants of pilgrims, which are so similar that there's a quest that involves stealing their cloaks, which swaps one sprite for another, since the cloak is the only difference. And honestly a lot of Silksong enemies are the worst kind of "enemy variant" where it's a completely redrawn sprite that has no behavioral differences from any other sprites that match it. How many>it just sort of flies toward youenemies are there in the game, 10? 11? You've got two separate enemies that are literally nothing but a pit hazard with some context given if you throw a bomb into it.Don't get me wrong, Silksong is awesome, but the enemy variety in Silksong is just an aesthetic flex. It's a way of making areas feel unique by giving them unique inhabitants. Mechanically it only has like 5 or 6 actual enemy types. Notwithstanding the bosses of course.
>>722411519It's not actually multiplayer but there's a lot of stuff happening to sync the city up between players, including daily price/market multipliers for different things and the gang territories behaving according to the state of the gang war meter which is online and synced for everybody (if you're playing with an internet connection)Btw seriously HUGE thanks for playing dude
>>722410741You could do it with sweep and prune method probably. You sweep through objects and start pruning once you hit the desired limit of detailed ones...
>>722412670That’s still a triple digit number. If goblin game over there recycled enemies, we’d have 8 goblin types, 5 other things and that would get all the monotony complaints.
>>722412301Side note, why is the Fayforn on there? It doesn't get a hunter's journal entry, it isn't even an enemy, it's an NPC.
>>722396357Wow that jump animation....
>>722348195figured out *sinewave compression. enjoy some wubs.https://voca.ro/1hAViNB3cTBy
>>722412904Meanwhile this is the entire non-boss enemy decepticon roster in Transformers Devastation and they all just recycle player attack animations. I choose this for my benchmark.
>>722413992This is cool, but if you're gonna wub (and I barely call this wubbing) you should really do some sidechaining of those kicks so they can be bigger without fighting the sub.
>>722413337What's wrong with it
>>722414196good point. i'm on it
>>722414015Uh huh
>>722409690>The only marketing anyone needs is /v/Imagine believing this.
>>722411914Can pick them up and toss them now
>>722414213Honestly here? Nothing. If it was aaa studio, it isnt one at all. It looks like the character is getting launched up then gently floats down. If we are going by outerspace rules, the gentle float makes sense. Normally with locomotion states you have a beginning, apex, land, then recover. So you break up your jump animation 4 times, so if you fall you don't just freeze but there is an animation happening until you collide with the ground.
>>722414509>complaining about how the gear system makes all of the player characters feel like functionally the same character>game is still 93% positive on Steam
>>722414798You can also get very good results using a linear blend with an axis that tracks vertical speed. At max upward speed you have "start jump", at zero you have "peak jump", and at max downward speed you have "fall pose". Because jumping naturally follows a parabolic arc under all conditions (assuming you aren't doing super weird shit) the pose will never be static, at least until the player reaches terminal velocity (and if this is something that can realistically happen in your game, you can use loops rather than poses in the blend so that your character has some motion during long falls)
>>722342448awesome, post more
>>722415073There’s another repetitive enemy complaint so it’s not hard to find these>But the game did good so everything it does is right!The brand and the company did good. Indies are when the customer suddenly decides to be honest and critical about games.
>>722415669>But the game did good so everything it does is right!Disingenuous, basically every game that exists would benefit from more content. You can point to literally any game anywhere, ever, and say>it would be objectively better with more levels/weapons/enemies/missions/charactersand it will always be true. More of a good thing is always better. I haven't met the game yet that made me go "this would be so fucking awesome if it just had less stuff in it".When evaluating complaints of sameness, the question becomes "when does the limited pool of assets hurt the quality of the game in such a way that it detracts from the enjoyment of what else is there". A game with Too Few enemies/levels/etc doesn't get a chance to shine mechanically because there are too few unique problems to solve with the tools at the player's disposal. When the limited pool of assets actively DETRACTS from the core experience, rather than simply not giving the player yet another serving of it, that's when the line has been crossed IMO.TFD has just enough enemies that it can create a broad variety of encounters that are interesting. Most of the "samey-ness" complaints about the game have to do with the extremely limited map, because a big part of wandering around in a large game is seeing the sights and when you always see the same sights, wandering loses its charm. TFD was "open world" but the world was small and highly similar so it never really felt like it.
>>722415984>More of a good thing is always betterNo. Even a very long game filled with good content will get exhausting.
>>722415984>I haven't met the game yet that made me go "this would be so fucking awesome if it just had less stuff in it"There are lots of games that drag on and overstay their welcome. RPGs can suffer from this a lot. One example I can remember were the terrible new sidequests in Chrono Trigger DS.
>>722416526Maybe it’s a function of the types of games I play but I equate “overstayed its welcome” with being repetitive. When it’s not NEW content, it’s the same stuff I’ve already seen and done, but I’m doing it for the 20th time, and its detracting from the enjoyment that I got from my earlier experience as a result.
woke up and it was 16:45 already. The fuck.
what game inspired you to gamedev?
>>722407023I tried looking into irrlicht and idk what the point is. Seems like a third-party add-on nightmare. I don't even think it natively supports shadowmapping. And I gave up when I tried to use some gltf add-on and it didn't support mesh-skinning / animation. I'm too stupid to do these things myself and I feel like there are better modern options. Sure irrlicht is lightweight, but that's because it does almost nothing. It's more like a scene handler with barebones rendering.Also is gltf the only option for skeleton animation? There is fbx but it's some licensed autodesk proprietary garbage. Idk how they animated back before skeletons with just .obj and .x but it seems archaic.And like you say it uses SDL1. Not even SDL2. What a nightmare. This thing is way too old. I think it would be easier to start from scratch instead of learning someone else's code.
>>722417850Looks like you're coding in the moonlight tonight.
>>722419743like always my friend
>>722418729I can't really argue with that, it's a fair description. But there's a scale from>blank slate, gotta write everything from scratch, thousands of lines before you have a moving triangleto>massive full-featured engine like Godot, too big to maintain a fork of, would take a long time to learn the internalsand I liked the idea of starting from somewhere in between.Out of the box, Irrlicht is clunky and old fashioned. But it's functional (can load a Quake level, add some meshes, move around with WASD+mouselook) and it's compact enough that I can just rip and tear away at it to turn it into what I need.>And like you say it uses SDL1. Not even SDL2. What a nightmareI found a slightly outdated patch on the forum which adds SDL2, applied that, then updated it to SDL3 myself. Now everything is SDL3 with no trace of 1/2. Took about an evening.
>>722416502>>722397669>>722374848I appreciate the feedback. I'm not trying to clone ZAMN, just inspired by it, the monsters are basic, I'll admit, but there are bossfights that will stand out. Hopefully. I understand the park is a bit open, will definitely go in and add some more detail / obstacles there.As for gun variety, I'm only showing the tip of the iceberg ;) guns will be the main part of this game.

I'm starting to get REALLY impatient. My compocist is taking SO FUCKING LONG with his music it's INSANE!!!!!!!
>>722424264you have to be very selective over art and music fagsthey'll have one bad day over the smallest thing and delay your comission 6 months
>>722418384Uplink waas the first time a game really immersed me and inspired me to look up more about its development. Lucky for me the developer of that did some interviews and released some design documents and other stuff for the game and his writings made me wanna make my own games.
>>722423461>do i have to code fbx importers and animation tools by handYes, in the sense that the stock engine can only import obsolete formats and has very minimal mesh animation support.No, in the sense that you probably wouldn't be coding them completely from scratch. More likely you'd find an outdated and buggy fbx importer someone wrote 10 years ago and fix/update/adapt it to do what you need.It's not an alternative to Godot/Unity. It's an alternative to starting from scratch.In my case my game will mostly involve exploring a static world in first person while interacting with either static objects, objects with basic rigid animations like doors, or physics objects. I do need character animation but it's not a priority and it's OK for it to be basic/janky. So my priorities are probably different from someone making a third person character action game.
>>722425495i was hoping it was at minimum to goldsource level so it looks like ill have to pivot to goldsource
>>722409583Good marketing can sell absolute shit games too. See Dark Deity, worst fucking SRPG I've ever played but whoever worked marketing did a fantastic job because it sold very, very well. If a bad game can do that well, imagine what it could do for an anon's good game.
>>722379789NTR coded
>>722423294careful bro, roguelikes can be harder to make than they seem to.
>>722425838I haven't used goldsource so don't really know what level we're talking here. What features and formats do you need?Irrlicht supports vertex animation and basic skeletal animation. It can actually import goldsrc MDL files directly (CHalflifeMDLMeshFileLoader.cpp). Since I haven't looked into character animation much yet, I'm not sure where exactly the limits are.Out of curiosity are you planning to use goldsrc without source code access, or use leaked source?
Your intelligent thoughts on how to go about sex simulation?I'll go full autism with the realistic cell physics and stretching despite the programming side not requiring more than a location and said location detecting how much % the object is covering the location, not even accounting for inertia for the thrust, let alone the blood and lube required for stretching the epithelial cells, let alone the clit and neurology involved. That's the interaction part that porn games never attempt, also because I want different shaped objects to react automatically and intuitively with what goes inside it rather than having to program every single 1%, 0.5%, 0.1%, 5% you get the idea, that shit should be automatic.Any thoughts on the simulation of it, anons? SDT did it simple with the locations, no physics simulation beyond the spit and cum hanging out which I think was already precoded and preavailable in flash.The next problem though is the limited audio & visuals. You can give any person endless pleasure, but if said person sits there like a dead-eyed fish you don't even know if its alive or not then it's no fun. You need endless exciting reactions and interactions with said person to make an interesting and entertaining simulation. You can use AI, but again if you're a perfectionist like me you'll waste time creating masks and layers for everything to add lipstick coloration, skin colors, hair color, eyeshadow color, tattoos and AI can't even do layers atm, that's why everyone is absolutely correct that it's useless, especially if you have to yell at it 20x times "Just do it" instead of IT understanding what it has to do and coming back to it 20 minutes later with all your

I used some time yesterday to design these creatures. An ancient race of crustacean-like beasts, the Goranthym of Dosornar Island are familiar with the Frydarians.
>>722429273They are most familiar with Jezzabelle who likes to dance on the poles on Dosomar Island
>>722418384Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, but not in good way. I really like the character building/exploration/interactive story loop of CRPGs, but hate basically everything else. The actual combat design, the D&D settings, the bloat of repeated encounters, how hard you are punished for not having the whole party planned out before you even start, etc. A first playthrough is 100% hours and maybe 20% of the game, but to get the rest you have to sit through some multi hour tutorial, where somehow you feel like making zero relevant forces but you can still screw up some obscure trigger and miss entire characters and quest lines.I want to get the cool parts without relying on the player being a live-long player of D&D or trivializing the game through difficulty settings.Please tell me you're stealing the Alchemist from DDON, I need more.>>722427830>Your intelligent thoughts on how to go about sex simulation?Don't. I've seen too many amateur game devs loose any chance of ever finishing their games because they waste all their time balancing the pleasure damage penalty from skin irritation of adamantium nipple piercings in arid climates above 2000m elevation, or similar pointless details. No one other than the one patreon with that specific fetish gives a shit and you're just turning your game into ERP with a changelog.
no one gives me a straight answer about this so im starting to think godot is just pure shitin ue, if you want to play back the animation you made at the framerate it was made it you just switch it from linear to stepthats it, its 0 workin godot google tells you to bake the anims, some weird glb export, reimport in godot explicitly with the framerate you specifiedif you stop there then nothing happens the anim keeps playing fully interpolated linearlyso logically you then toggle all the animation curves to nearestexcept this fucking breaks the anim lmao piece of shit engine
this state machine I made for an enemy has become one big mess and I only have four states at the momenttime to revise and hopefully sort out the state switching logic

>>722429790> I've seen too many amateur game devs lose any chance of ever finishing their games because they waste all their time Which games? Aside from the text-based only ones? >inb4 that's the only ones.I'm interested to see LIVE how redundancy in games is a bad thing and a mediocre thing. Most people go gaga over "Holy shit you shot him in the foot and now he's limping!!! holy shit you shot the weapon straight out of his hand!!!" like in Perfect Dark.There was this cube tank building indie game that actually came out and had players. You could build your own tank out of blocks, but in practice it was mediocre as shit since the way you built your tank didn't matter 100% , the weapons you fought against destroyed through your carefully crafted blocks in less than a second ... instead the weight and drone helicopter blades balancing was interesting, but you either got "tank flips upside down constantly" to "flying tank finally works acceptably" but never the 1337 elite speed hax combo build you'd think when you design such a game with "endless" customization.

>>722432513it looks better than your animation bro ngl
>>722432621True. After all, I have much more cool critters to make.
>>722432513Finish this fucking trash already. If you don't listen to devs, maybe 1 week post release will make you realize, that your game looks like gay shit
>>722432738Sweet fuck the tits on that lady.
>>722432820he should make a paper mario styled RPG with the drawing style he has. Those look very cool and better than his 3D stuff.
Made a kawaii window for my game, working on modular pieces.
>>722432841That's Laura Redwood, a mythical Human and Fygoon's partner while he was in exile.>>722432882That would be a very strange Paper Mario game.
>>722433365>That would be a very strange Paper Mario game.I don't mean with all the charm and wholesomeness lol. Just a 2D sidescrolling RPG, I think your drawings could fit that style. Kinda like bug fables, but frydarian.
>>722433365>partnersounds woke ngl
>>722433365I would look into hiring a 3d artist. I can get the wipe you are going for from that drawing but it doesn't really translate well into 3d here>>722432513
>>722432165Are you willing to share at least your pseudo-code?I can't think of an elegant way to do this: either it require multiple passes, or need a ton of arbitrary values.
>>722433695I would say the 2D drawing matches the 3D mode very nicely
>>722433821would like to add that it probably helps that it's a bug-like creature, so the segmented body made of spheres makes sense here more than in other of his designs
>tfw all the goblins are fucking deadspent some time today assigning eye and mouth expressions to this dude, so his face changes when attacking, jumping, falling, getting hurt or whatever. With this, the face stuff is done... well I still need to make him look older but the game will start with him looking younger (prologue takes place in the past) so for now I'd say it's fine.tomorrow and next week will be spend with sound design. Then, enemy refactor with some fixes and additions and fucking finally making the demo content.
>>722433482Well she'll be the lone computer-controlled ally, especially since, unlike Alois and Balthazar, she can be given commands by the player. Sure, she becomes Fygoon's Queen and all that by the time the story concludes, but that's in the distant future.>>722433440If I'm making a 2D side-scrolling RPG, I'd rather go for a style similar to Zelda II or Wonderboy in Monster World. Then again, I cannot, for the life of me, understand how 2D games work.
>>722434593>I cannot, for the life of me, understand how 2D games work.dude what. Same as 3D but with only 2 dimensions to take care of instead of 3.
>>722412797Gotcha. I ran around on a rampage. Got sent to prison a few times. I couldn't get the sleep on the bed to work? Do you just passively stand on the bed maybe?
>>722432513Not sure why you're in this thread pretending to be me, fuck off
>>722430017You could just like ..make the music yourself
>>722434663The character controller is what's iffy for me. I have various projects set in a 2D world but they never go anywhere because of how terribly the player character moves. Don't even get me started on animating: 3D is bad enough, but 2D is just too much for me.
>>722435173you could make 2D sprites out of 3D renders, DK style
>>722430017>I need this game out YESTERDAY!!! [the music] is the ONLY thing slowing me downKind of sounds like you left the music to the last minute as an afterthought and have no backup plan if the deliverables turn out not to fit the vibe or get bad reactions in testing.
>>722431073does she actually have a body under the dress or is it just empty aside from the legs.
Wish i could show you, it's looking great.
>>722433365Fygoon isn't a virgin? Some hero..
>>722435752Of course not, have you seen his ex Princess Jezzabelle? What a hussy!
smells like Discord in here...
>>722435628Show what?
>>722435752His anal integrity has been compromised by ukranian dragons
>>722436331Pay no mind to them.
>>722432513>>722434943It took less than 30 minutes for someone to mock you. That is fucking hilarious.
>>722436390The game.
>>722410741Modern GPU architecture wouldn’t really benefit from it, so probably not. Typically the main reason for employing LODs is to reduce overdraw by eliminating subquad triangles (GPUs can only parallelize rasterization of 2x2 pixel quads, if two or more tris occupy the same quad they must be processed in series which is a bottleneck). That’s a function of triangle density vs size on screen, it doesn’t matter whether the entire screen is a perfectly carpeted sheet of triangles or two massive triangles forming a screen-size quad.Why do you want an algo to do this? Because the only time total vertex count really starts to be an issue on its own is computing bone transforms and there ARE algos for scaling down by number of rigs rendered on screen, IIRC.
>>722436605Fuck I lost
>>722436605lost again...
>>722436679>>722436694No, not THAT game, my game.
Will Fygoon get a movie or TV show in the future? I think it'd do really great as an HBO movie series.
>>722436940They already have one in production
hey guys i drew some fanart of your stuff, keep up the good work!squill from v3https://files.catbox.moe/10tnxf.pngvanessa from cliax codechttps://files.catbox.moe/h4xbyl.pngfygoon from the frydarian talehttps://files.catbox.moe/gvyd3p.png
>>722436940Netflix takes all the zero quality gay shit, they would green light it right now if rasko pitches it to them.
>>722435548Listen men the game didn't do so well and I don't have much money left anyways so I just wanna release it and never think about it ever again. At this point I don't give a shitt, I just want shitt done men
>>722436890What game?
>>722435361I could. Or…I could make sprites that look like this.
How come there isn't a Fygoon web comic? I'd read every issue and then some!
>>722437075
>>722437458you dont like it? im not a great artist i admit but i tried
>>722437490It's all pornography.
>>722437587yes, yes it is
>>722437075sure was better off not clicking on that last one
>>722437963i dont know what you were expecting lol
>>722437186Can't legally tell until release or they cut my funding.
>>722437998kek yeah, morbid curiosity I guess
>>722437421There's one in progress actually! I plan on having some of it in the game manual I'm making for my game. That's right, my game is going to have a manual! After that a lot of lore drops will happen through the webcomic you can follow along with the game.
>>722438536Looking good Fygoon! I love manuals.
>>722437075/v/3guy here. Appreciate the Squil art! That's now our second NSFW drawing of her! >>722438536I have a webcomic as well. Want to crossover? Need any help? Reach out if you're interested!
>>722438536This looks great, dude! Keep up the good work!
put some extra work on face in the consume item animations
>>722439763>Appreciate the Squil art! That's now our second NSFW drawing of her!hurray :D
>>722438536This is awesome fygoon
>>722429249This looks a bit too crazy tbdesu
>>722438536Pure soul
>>722418384The /v/orld threads helped a lot. Making things is fun.
>>722432738I really wish he wore pants
>>722440760>Making things is funI see you are one of the good ones
>>722438034You talking about your nda is already a violation.
>>722430282so that link is the issue im getting, but none of the responses have any impact to the animation whatsoeverthe video is only for a whole object, the issue is my mesh is hooked up to an animplayer and animtree and of course if the moment you take off animtree from IDLE to manually drive it then it shatters into pieces and refuses to transition statesso overall its requiring about hundreds of lines of code to reproduce a very fucking simple thing which is just the damn step interval playback for godot
>>722441587What is the software in your screenshot?
>>722441587>so overall its requiring about hundreds of lines of codeSo get to coding, you could be done by now.
>>722441921its ue4 dude>>722442062lmao yes i forgot that godot forces you to every damn thing by hand instead of being an actual game engine
>>722442479Which version of godot are you using? Interpolation was added in 4.4 and improved in 4.5.
>>722442479>i forgot that godot forces you to every damn thing by hand instead of being an actual game engineSounds like you're a nodev if you can't do shit yourself desu senpai. Let me guess, in UE you use blueprints and run away from actual C++ code?
>>722440020Looks good, but I think it'd fit him better if the eyelid didn't get flipped.
I have serious issues with starting things and keeping on working.Hell, even without distractions I just end up daydreaming.Anyone of you dealt with that shit?
>>722442949I know that feeling. It is called growing up. Some people do. Not all, but some.
>>722442751I'll try that and see, ty
loli games doko?
>>722443665Begone.
>>722444238Hey fygoon, someone ripped off your render. I know this couldn't possibly be you since you caught a 30-day.
>>722443665What game?
>>722444238no
>>722444812It's Zenless Zone Zero.
>>722445052Thanks. If nothing else, this game is very pleasing to look at.
I'm using SDL2's built in drawRect functions here and there to draw some simple rectangles. Is that a bad idea? Should I switch to .png images instead?
>wanted to make cool ai music>made dragonforce but instrumental. I mean it isn't bad I guess....
>>722445583If only there was a way to make music exactly how you wanted it... maybe technology will be there one day...
>>722436665I handle crowds. Very large ones. Overdraw is going to be very high and culling nearly impossible if the player just jump or is on any slight uphill.>computing bone transforms I handle that directly shader side, but lower LOD use simpler calculation (less bones / no interpolation / etc) so that's all the more reasons to be able to reduce LOD as much as possible when the crowd get larger.
>>722379713stop killing your enemies and players will stop having an issue with encountering the same enemy.
>abstained from visiting these spammy dogshit threads>more productive than ever beforeDamn I didn't know it was that easy.
>>722448280Show what you did with that productivity
>>722445354What?
As someone who has 5 years of experience being a C# webdev and wants to make a zelda:botw like which engine should i pick?
>>722441419No it ain't as i haven't revealed the name, mechanics, characters, music composer and so on.
>>722420698I guess it's better than nothing. I never actually looked too deep into the source code but it's neatly organized. And they have lots of examples. Still, I struggle a lot when I have to refactor someone else's code, and I would have to add a lot of stuff to irrlicht.I prefer Raylib because it's like the same thing but more modern. And supports very basic gltf animation (one skeleton structure, linear interpolation only).The lack of good animation support is a dealbreaker in a lot of my searches. I might need to consider a separate library. Haven't done enough research but ozz-animation looks good. Even calculates IK.
>>722444873This brat needs plap correction.
>>722443665>>722444873Sexo TuT
>>722448662Torque3D
>>722445354Haven't used SDL2 but I've used similar frameworks. It's doing what it's supposed to, you're just drawing plain rectangles. If you just want to draw rectangles, why not? But when you want actual graphics, yeah, you won't be using drawRect. Why do you feel there may be a problem?
>>722449174i don't know anon it doesn't seem like a viable option...
>>722448662Genshin Impact was made with Unity
>>722449660Wachy Wheels is based though?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vVIiKp6xMs
>>722449620I've heard that using vectors (which is what drawRect and fillRect do) are much slower than using .pngs.
>>722442574I'll take your silence as you being dumb.
>>722450007Where did you read that? Drawing basic things like shapes should be incredibly performant for a framework like that. I think you may be worrying prematurely.
>>722448280He says while posting nothing but goonslop.
>>722450921Cope, seethe and dilate, rasko.
>>722449726So Unreal Engine gotcha.

Anybody working on any cool space games?
>>722448934But you're talking about it. Tsk tsk tism-kun.
>>722457279You can tell this is the real one because it looks better.
>>722457345Classes or jobs? Is it a traditional medieval setting or something more exotic?
>>722458957No I'm not.
>>722457279Soul
>>722459346Classes, I'm still working on the engine... But all the different parts are named after alchemical processes or terms
>>722446804I know, if only I copied others and pretended it was own work because I imported it into software.
>>722458946No, no space, only sex.
>>722459829All great artists steal, but music is easy as fuck because all the rules are the same as programming. Just learn all the chords, the way they can move (1 to 5 to 7), learn the keys and modes etc. and boom you can create anything you want.
>>722458946Cool? No. There's a guy working on a space game but it looks horrible (like middle school tier mspaint art) and it's all furry gay shit. Like a mentally ill tranny is working on it.
>>722445583>>722460006it's weird because AI music is actually awful compared to images and text, even though you'd think it'd be the easiest to make.
>>722460123Yep, it plays it way too safe for some reason, meanwhile video/photo has no issues with being weird and freaky which is most necessary for music to be real.
>>722460123not as much demand, it probably could be good but the chinese have no reason to work on that
>>722457216>>722456818Too lazy to pixelate their default clothes for testing. A bikini will do for now, but I should think up something spooky to put her in.
>>722457279So this is what you are reduced to? What happened to your MMO?
>>722459620Very creative naming convention.>engineDon't tell me you are creating a custom engine?>>722460123Disagree
>>722460667>Don't tell me you are creating a custom engine?I thought with AI it would be easy but I'm still reading and fixing every line of code it makes
>>722460813Silly. Consumer ai has little memory and is prone to mistakes and sometimes straight hallucinates.Unfortunately / luckily vibe coding never gets me far.

>>722461657Balthazar, CHUD
>>722461610Good for you. I wouldn't even know how to start to create an engine and even less what to do with a new engine. What's so fun about it?
I want to make a game, but can only program a little and can't do the other things like art, writing, music and such. Is there anything I can do to actual make a game?
Making an engine for a tactics game in C++. Like XCom/Pathfinder but good. Save this post for a free copy when it releases in 20 years
>>722461876He's been posting about this "game" for over 2 years now. We're never gonna be free from this insanity.
>>722461881Wrong, it was Caspar Al-Wasq, as can be seen below:> The discovery of the Lynxstone begins during just after the discovery of Frydar Island. As the members of the Dragons’ Alliance began to chart the new land, a group of Felids under the Order of the Claw happened upon a then undiscovered cave in the Saidros Tundra region. One of the Felids on this mission was Caspar Al-Wasq, a Lynx assassin with a penchant for gemstones. While Al-Wasq and the Felids charted the cave, the Lynx tripped and fell. Surprised by the commotion, the other Felids rushed to their teammate’s aid deep in the cave. Upon finding Al-Wasq, the Felids found him surveying something peculiar in his hand: a shadow with seemingly no object casting it. Al-Wasq explained to the other Felids that this was a gemstone that, when in close proximity to an object with magical energy (such as the magic lanterns the Golems had lent them), the stone almost completely disappears. Skeptical of such a story, the Felids led Al-Wasq out of the cave as they believed he suffered from a concussion from his fall; however, once they reached the outside and closed their lanterns, an amber stone faded into existence in the hand of the Lynx. Awestruck at such a momentous discovery, the Felids named this stone the Gem of Al-Wasq in honor of its discoverer, with the name Lynxstone being used to describe similar specimens.Only the first question and you're already fucking up, huh? Now answer this:What did Menahem Pratemus, the Dragon founder of Pratemus Village, like to collect?
>>722461940Use placeholders for everything. People use bought/free assets in their games all the time anyways, there's no reason you can't start off the same
>>722461917It's fun designing everything and having complete controlFeels like making a tiny universe
>>722461631I actually find this shit hilarious. It took him 30 minutes to recreate a fagoon model that he just finished and it looks better lmao The grix dude or whatever that he made made fagoon seethe so much he spent a week creating a response picture. He's literally causing him to freak out so much he's not even working on his game anymore.
>>722462182You do design a universe, literally : godspeed.
Well, I'm waiting…
>>722462041His game that he would rather work novels for than actually work on is the worst part. Why doesn't he just make a book and show it off at /lit/? It's clear he's not actually interested in making his game and is more interested in just talking about his worldbuilding that everyone ignores
>>722461876I stopped caring about him because lolcows are pretty funny once you stop taking them seriously, I have fun seeing him make a clown out of himself every now and then.
>>722462214that's great but we have two fygoons

>>722463091stop posting fake Fygoon, I'm waiting for the actual Fygoon to progress post more.
>>722462539You're not wrong on both counts, one look at his writing and "game" and eyes are bound to glaze over. His autism locks him into never improving and never reflecting, so even if he were to progress in his game or any other spin-off, it'll always be poorly written and looking garbage. It reminds me of Chris-Chan and other autists, where they never want to actually improve and are satisfied where they are, forever
fygoon lore has to be the cringiest shit I've ever read, it's pure cirs-chan tier autism
>>722463310it's really kids story pilledwhat makes it pathetic is that a 22 year old man is describing it as "cool", "dope" and "badass"
>>722463091You'll never fool the true CHADGOON PLATOONERS POSER!
Is the fygoon game just some scaley fetish thing?
>>722463310You think that's bad, you should read the comic the v3 originizer does
>>722463184The dude that he freaked out over and calls everyone called him out over his shit like a year ago. In one year he hasn't improved at all or done anything new to the point an imposter has come in and the only reason you can even tell it's not him is because it looks better lol.It is 100% chris chan sonichu type shit, inb4 this kid is on the news for doing something horrific.
