Post your most recent progress on your game anon.
>>722698196reposting cause the last thread died right away and nobody saw my webm lolJust got done implementing this new enemy type. I like it, it's a bit of a pain to fight but not overly so. I also got a subtype that shoots so that should be fun.
>>722698196I already posted this on aggy, but here we go again. The next wagie run progress i made is an upgrade to the checkpoint mechanicI made the checkpoint as 2 speedbumps, with nearby surveillance camera looking at the player. It will take a snap when the player cross the checkpoint, and change it's spotlight from yellow to blue.
Spy Kids 3 > Spy Kids > Sharkboy And Lavagirl > Spy Kids 2
>>722698421I think in a way there are markets for a hard game like this. High speed shooters does looks great to play
>>722698434i loved pepsi man but the checkpoint text floating above the speedbump seems unnecessary
Virus Brain finally has a Steam page!!https://store.steampowered.com/app/4059830/Virus_Brain/
>>722698434Make him collect mountain dew cans because I like mountain dew and I prefer it to your coke knockoff
>>722698550That floating checkpoint text is just a placeholder for future design. Im not an artists lol, so i dont know whats good to be placed there. Maybe like a green street sign, or a "slow down" monitor, but with "checkpoint" text on it?
>>722698683Thats actually my first plan. The goal is "canned unhealthy caffeinated drinks", so its either energy drink or cola soda, and i happen to find a 3D cola can first, instead energy drink can, in unity asset store. So i used it instead kek
>>722698546All of the games I've worked on have been hard so yeah I think so. It just depends how you handle it, most players can accept hard games as long as it's fair and they aren't overly punishing.I haven't implemented game overs yet, but I think it'll just be a simple mechanic where you get unlimited continues but your score gets cut by 25% or something.
>>722698609good luck to ya m8, but i aint gonna touch any horror games kek. Im weak to horror stuff
>>722698196nothing I can show, but I can tell you about it: I added support for 3D audio and with that my audio manager is done. I've made a list of all the sounds I need and am slowly integrating them into the game. I'm also a bit sick (sudden weather changes always fuck me in the ass) so progress has been slowed down>>722698421I want to try your game man. Ever since you started posting I've been curious about the diagonal-only shooting, seems weird but could be cool>>722698434>wagie runlmaolooks cool anon>>722698884>canned unhealthy caffeinated drinksyou include non-home made coffee as well. That stuff they sell at starbucks has more sugar than coffee>>722698609good luck!
You see stories like Eric Barone, who essentially learned gamedev from /vg/ and I think, "Maybe I should do that." Then I see some of the abysmal dogshit that other anons post on 4chan, and I realize I shouldn't bother, because that's far more likely what I'd end up making.
>>722699075>Ever since you started posting I've been curious about the diagonal-only shooting, seems weird but could be coolHey thanks! It shouldn't take too long still, hope to get it done this year or so.
>>722699075>you includeyou could include*
>>722699075>lmao>looks cool anonEyy thanks m8
>>722699118nice! can't wait to try italso, love your enemy design. They look cute and charismatic
All warbonds unlocked, 7 left to complete.
>>722699075>you include non-home made coffee as well. That stuff they sell at starbucks has more sugar than coffeeThe game was set in a pre-dystopian era, where the world are JUST starting to transform into a sad modern reality. The mechanic is, health heal happens with 10 soda cans or 1 cup of coffee. The premise is, at that setting, "real" coffee is a luxury product
>>722699018>>722699075Thanks, you-you too!
>>722699461Well, it IS a progress lmao
>>722698196Beat the fuck out of Okatsu, fucking bitch was playing Ninja Gaiden while I'm stuck on Dark Souls+.
working on tilesets. that's all i've been doing today, really. i've neglected environment design this whole time, so i think the process of making these will be a bit bumpy.
>>722699549>The game was set in a pre-dystopian era, where the world are JUST starting to transform into a sad modern realitySo, late 00s to early 10s?
yeah I guess the thread OP is a bit confusing lmao
>>722699075OH you mean use plastic industrialized starbuck ahh coffee cups, instead of cans?Yea yea, thats actually a good idea. Thank you, ill note it
>>722698196Yeah...
>>722699659No, 2030 ish
>>722698196I managed to make my guy do a walk cycle. Unfortunately, I also found out I have to manually set the color palette on Windows Vista, 7, and 8. So now I have to figure out how to do that. I also still have yet to work out a way to do display scaling for GPUs that don't support low res screen modes. And on top of all that, I don't have a way to record demo footage since my system is too slow to screen record and I can't capture with fraps due to it not using Directx or Opengl.
>>722698196after a great ordeal of headaches i finally got the NPC rider working
>>722698609>edutainmentthat shit's an industry on it's own and your game could open you some doors
>>722699739It's to keep certain people who skim the catalogue from finding and ruining the thread too quick
>>722698884Has v3guy asked you to put his forced meme pissweed in yet?
>>722700265it's working and I appreciate the effort. I'll do the same when I make one of those threads, already deleted the image with the engines.
>>722699957tbf it's more of a marketing ploy lolthe subtitle "a postmodern edutainment game" I got from YIIK: a postmodern RPGyou can definitely learn kanji playing the game, but the game has an equal amount of horror, platforming and other types of puzzles

>>722701064it's just a joke trust me bro
>>722699645I see what you're going for, but you should probably practice more.
>>722701609anything i should improve on? admittedly just one of the sprites are temporary, and i'm aware of the sprite in the upper right corner looking kind of strange.
>>722701996It's just a bit bland. Could use more texture or something.
>>722700391the fuck is pissweed?
>>722702108i understand. i'll keep that in mind. i try to keep my style simple, but i do fear i may make it too simple in some cases. thanks.
>>722701064god luck trying to make money with my game lmao
>>722702465It's an inside joke that the organizer begs everyone to put into their game like a fag.
>another year, another /v3/ where I did not update my gameIt ain't easy being utterly depressed
>>722702465It's a joke for the upcoming /v3/. Some anons here are fucking sticks in the mud.
>>722702725I've had those years too anonit can get better
>>722702725It's ok anon. There's still next June that's supposedly going to a be a huge shakeup.
I beat Danganronpa ultra despair girls. It was pretty good. 6/10. Gonna try playing some of the fan games now but who knows where I will go next . Maybe I'll play Arkham origins instead and let my downloads rot for a while before I suddenly decide on a whim to play them. That's how I clear my backlog anyways. I literally played through half of silent hill 2 before dropping it for a solid 2 years and then finally finished it last month.
>>722702721>>722702802Thanks for the info i guess
>>722699645What's your game about?
Does anybody know the dev behind webm related? It gets posted alot in SOVL threads but nobody knows the sauce
This is one step closer in shaking up the video game industry for sure!
>>722703197you play as an anti-virus going inside a computer world to stop a virus from completely annihilating the computer. the gameplay's a mix of bullet hell and typing games. i thought that idea was kind of strange at first but as i prototyped the game it started to grow on me, so i stuck with it.
>>722702465Holy shit you should add that in I remember when that was the meme.
>>722698196replayed the original GTA SA again for the second time this year

>>722699645>cute 8-legged spider-girl MCi will now buy your game>>722705082define troonslop
>>722705082how the fuck does that look like "troonslop", it's clearly just a shitpost game
>>722704796This has Thing-Thing's legacy written all over it.
>>722698196got legend rank in all roles in overwatch 2's stadiumnow, I have no ideamaybe I should get a steam 'eck, I cant force myself to play indie/singleplayer in a huge desktop
>>722698483Machete is in the same movieverse btw
still messing with this gun in space game ideamade a quick shotgun
>>722704796Ngl I hate the shitpost angle but it does look fun also like a game I had in mind superficially
I'm not chasing it, but there's an achievement for a score of 800. I'm not good at these games, but I appreciate a modern game being a true arcade game which is very rare in my experience.
this thread is making me realize that many anons just post a reply without reading a single post
>>722706724I make my post then read others. I don't care to share what's in my mind like "That's great, I miss that game" or "I remember that game" or "Never seen this before, looks interesting". Keep such to myself.
Titties
im reaching insane speeds, my speeds are incredible>>722699893 this is cool
wtf there are actual talented devs itt
>>722707758gratis amicidoes your game take place underwater or am i way off? if so it might be cool to have some kind of water pressure sim that changes in different areas and affects the physics
>>722701064See you in court, lewis.
>>722709168You're surprised?
>>722711554You're not?
About halfway done through writing news stories and blurbs for every single space station and planet. Too fucking many of them, still got several hundred to go. But then I'll never have to do this much writing ever again, so whatever.
>>722701001sites down
>>722711896How much did you sign away to your publisher with underspace? Do they own your game forever?
>>722711996nvr mind it just didn't load on my browser
>>722712084No. That's a dipshit thing. The only thing my publisher gets is right of first negotiation for any spinoffs related to the main game. I've got full rights to the IP otherwise.
>>722709168Everyone except rasko and his gay dragon.
Just made a new progress video in facthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvoiQTRjt88
>>722709779the art style for this is so good, the black background makes me nostalgic for DOS, while also being reminiscent of mosaics/textilesyou pilot a nanomachine through someone's appendix so I could add something like that explained thru different terms. Right now there are some parts you can add that make you glide/slide more, and a boss that has corrosive goo
>>722711896>Still several hundred stories to goWhat if I told you there was a tool that was really good with text generation that would save you a ton of time.
>>722698196I can't post a screenshot for obvious reasons but I just finished modeling my character's septate hymen.
Don't mind if I do.
>>722714832also I need people to play this and tell me what they think, it's called Nanima https://precism.itch.io/nanimademopw: gummy>>722715101no shit but do you know how bad of a look that is? if it even approaches sounding like gpt people will pick up on it. Outside of anything you could say about how shallow of a creative process that is
>>722714806>IS_LINUX
>>722716137Runs on macs too. Though I didn't bother implementing CD drive music functionality on mac since they haven't had them in forever. Mac users will have to use the ripped CD audio from the installer. Which is the better way anyway, no spin up time.
I still haven't started working on an actual game, but I'm making another character. She's mostly finished, but her rig and weights still need a lot of work. I also started going through Richard Williams' animation book.
>>722704796That's exactly the art style I was going for in my gameWell guess it's suicide for me
>>722717047I remember you. Looks good.
>>722698196I just started playing amnesia the bunker, but I’m not enjoying it at all because it’s too scary
>>722718337oops I misunderstood this threadgood luck anons
>>722718523It's never to late to start anon.
i'm afraid my game is too narrative heavy and people won't like it :(
Just bought my waifu
>>722698421Can I ask how much work you put in to get this far? This looks like an actual functioning vertical slice of a game which is more than what I usually see in these threads.
>>722698434Impressed you got so far! Besides the placeholder stuff the fact that it looks like everything is working as intended is neat. I also like the sun going behind the building.That being said, Pepsiman has a ton of humor, moments to break up the gameplay, catchy music and a bright and fun color palette to keep it engaging. For how simple the core gameplay is, it actually seems like a really complicated thing for 1 person development if Pepsiman is what you're going for.
>>722706114>>722719398Two niggas on the reading comprehension floor
>>722698683Even better, have a folder where people can upload images of their own labels that way anyone can mod whatever can they want into the game.
>>722698196I find the fact that this turned into a multi-topic thread to be interesting
>>722718245Thanks Fygoon. I also like seeing your projects, they have a lot of whimsy to them.
Once my indie game that I worked on for three years comes out on Steam, everything will be alright.
>>722722362>DAS WAR EIN BEFEHL
>>722698196Playan Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front right now. Pretty fun and unique game, but much shorter than I expected, so I have to pace myself.
Jesus this really is schrodinger's thread.
Started KIngdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning and Gears of War: Judgment recently. Kingdoms of Amalur feels like a 6/10 game that could have been something much more. The combat is pretty fun, but enemy variety, lack of RP options and MMO-tier sidequests are ruining it for me. To be honest, I only keep playing for my elven waifu Alyn Shir.Gears of War: Judgment is pretty good, not much worse than the og trilogy so far.
>>722723376I thought this was a game development thread.
>>722724834It is, at least I think it is.
>>722726285You would think that, but I guess the memo never went through.
>>722699893Nice.
I'm still working on some basic stuff before I get to the game per se. Fun fact, this is using an old trick where the sliding animation is done by drawing on a framebuffer without clearing, just so it doesn't need to draw the ui two times, it saves a significant bit of performance.
>>722703956Thanks>>722719734Like a month of work, though I've been working on other stuff on the side.
bump
>>722711896Points for effort. That's pretty hardcore.
In my deep unhappiness traversing these musky halls, filled to the brim with the piercing whistles of steam valves long rusted over, I pondered briefly to myself: what is it that drives humankind to embrace such infatuation with these...block puzzles? These overly abundant cube-based riddles posed a severe cognito hazard even to a vampiric wraith such as I who could punt them around with ease, let alone a mortal man (who would struggle even with generous assistance), to shove even a single one. Perhaps this was all a part of Kain's great design to break my will and spirit alike, that it was he who placed them here, so that I may grow so enervated that my desire for justice and knowledge simply fades along with my mental acuity...
hard to demo features
>>722734423I wish I could make my own chat/draw room that works over webrtc too, but it's beyond me
>>722698196Playing Fallout DUST, I've cleared Novac from cannibals, crafted a bunch of stuff and eaten a lot of dogs.All good so far.

>>722735857DUST sounds like my kinda game to me but actually playing it, it makes me miserable.
>>722737893And then people get made everyone decides to just say FUCK IT and make it web based.
>>722698196Finally played and completed Last us Us 1... Liked it more than I expected.
>>722737562This has genuinely been the most on topic thread I've seen in a long time
>>722698196I'm at the last chapter in Bayonetta. This shit is hard.
>>722698421Late reply, but add a spooky looking pickup that makes the gun more powerful at the cost of being damaged if you get hit by your own ricochets
>>722739617Hmmm, that could be funny
I sent my faction leader, faction heir and two of my oldest generals to go fight the mongols in my Total War Medieval 2 campaign. They all died, it was so fucking glorious, we killed hundreds of 'em. I'm fine with all four of them dying because they all had the max number of children, plus we slowed the mongols down a bit. Also, what better way for your characters to die than by fighting against the end-game threat? Rest of the map is conquered so its all good.
>>722739685I just love weapons so dangerous you can hurt yourself with them. Not as easter eggs, but actual mechanics. I think it's why Bomberman is so timeless. Super Crate Box is a shitty game but I'll never forget that buzzsaw you can use to cut yourself in half
Why didn't I start on my game ever since I became unemployed 3 years ago...
>>722740192No such thing as too late m8
>>722740192the best time to start was yesterday, the second best time is today
>>722703906Absolutely based
Bump.
>>722698196I streamlined the player input validation proccess
>>722742397Congrats. Someone else dealing with that pain besides me.
>>722737893Hope you had fun at least. 3D enginedev is the most challenging type of enginedev.
>>722704796Way too much screenshake, I hope you can turn it off.
>>722744051Yeh its fun I just wish I could get what I want out of a framework for once. XNA was the only decent one I've used. I know if I made one tho it would just be another half assed framework floating around for another me to find and be frustrated by
>>722743976thanks, but i very much doubt we're dealing with similar issuesstill, i wish you good luck with it
>>722744318
I have a souls-like framework built.Making a full souls-like as an indie seems like a dumb idea.So my thoughts were either:>Turn it into a multiplayer dungeon crawler with randomly generated dungeonsor>Turn it into a Risk of Rain 2 style game with multiple worlds you jump between while difficulty is constantly increasingBoth lean into the rogue-like element to give me the ability to focus on adding more enemies, bosses and weapons instead of spending a ton of time on level design.
>>722748227post webm
>>722748227Getting your procgen levels to generate nicely is just as hard as manually making levels if not more so.
it's die
>>722752930Not yet.
Dang I posted in the other thread, looks like this is the real oneBeen working on improving enemy AI in my game. Enemies can now dodge and block the player's attacks and can tell if the player is turned towards them, and will try to circle the player if so.It's jank as fuck but it's getting there.
I'm 25 dollars away from finishing my game.
NextFest into release day, and yet here we are waiting 3 years minimum for the /v/ exclusives...
>>722748227>>Turn it into a Risk of Rain 2 style game with multiple worlds you jump between while difficulty is constantly increasingthis is a good idea. also RoR2 doesnt have randomly generated terrains, I think its the same level every time you play but things like the gates to the next level get randomized.
Working on server event queue stuff. Also I was messing with random shaders, modified this one I found on shadertoy
>>722756165I’m too much of a brainlet for shaders I always admire them in every game I play and just go “wow”
Is this what these threads are gonna be called now? I hesitated to enter it because I thought it wasn't GAMEDEV related....
Been working on getting co-op campaign running in time for animal fest, gonna release a steam demo then I think>>722756165look really good man gj
>>722756165Wow, looks great.
>>722759372shit, i misinterpreted op lmao
>>722757701Looks really awesome, man
>>722756165name of shader for the background? it looks cool and i wanna use it for a non-game thing im working on
>>722759559Enjoy https://pastebin.com/gaY7uJje
>>722745676thx you too
>>722757623The gamedev threads should probably get a name change every once in a while anyways to make it harder for the schizos to find
>>722757623Honestly I don't even waste time posting updates or if I do im posting bullshit I fixed in 10 seconds. Why bother curating updates when I could just program the game and ignore this place.
>>722761763I agree. It's actually very nice here without the freaks.
>>722764317It's quiet... too quiet.
>>722760420thanks anon
>>722766361Appreciate it while it lasts.
made a tiktok video, got subtitles, downloaded it and posted in on xI'm gaining chromosomes https://x.com/vianite_/status/1975983391721062483
>>722767169God I hate subtitles like this. Is it a tiktok thing? Game looks nice though.
>>722767620yeah it's a tiktok thingthere's not a single video there without some text on itI barely know what I'm doing, just trying out stuff
>>722768004At least the subtitles aren't the type that only shows one word at a time, but they bounce when they appear. I feel assaulted when seeing them. Hurts my brain. I'm sure this is just the modern thing, don't worry about me. Just makes me feel like an old fart.
>>722768376no worriesI don't take this social media posting too seriously and just like to try random thingsif I end up becoming a hot influencer I will hand out free clout for my /v/ devs
>>722764317It is. Now if we can get them to happen once a month or every once in a while..
>>722704796Based BigMouthBassbro
I have a million ideas bouncing around in my head for games, but can't seem to actually sit down and try to make one. How do game devs do it?
>>722770317You pick one and try. You probably fail to get anywhere several times, but you keep trying. Over time, you get used to the method, and make more, better progress.I had the same feeling as you for many years. One thing that helped me was to work on gameplay and very general things at first, such that I could switch projects and copy my old work. Like that I kept making progress even though I often changed focus.Most importantly, stop being an idea guy and actually work on something.
What exactly is your blocker? Just start. Do NOT lie in bed staring at the ceiling thinking about making games (i did this) JUST START
>>722699893Looks fun>>722770317For me its pure grit
>>722770317Pick one that you believe you can make in a reasonable time period and focus on that. It's odd how ideas become rarer and rarer the closer you get to finishing your project.
Updates. Mostly polish but it is hard to show that.-----overhauls----->Built final unified skeleton across all player meshes.>decided to use the same leggings with add-ons for specific armor sets to make leaderpose components more steamlined.-----Bug Fixes----->Widgets>fixed a bug that removed the interaction widget after picking up an item but still within collision range of others.>fixed main menu button focus to properly land on either continue or new game button depending on if save files exist.>fixed button focus when leaving save/load slot selection widget.>deleting all saves correctly animates both continue and load buttons correctly. >touching the screen or clicking with the mouse focuses new game or continue (will update to reflect current active button)>added b button cancel functionality to confirmation widget and will land on the same save/load file upon pressing the b button.
>>722770845Uh anon, I think you shared a professional game. Please send a picture of your game.
Made a few strides. >corrected several visual issues with sprites (about 30 of them)>made some movesets for about 20 monster girls>revamped the entire buff/debuff/effect systemThat last one was quite the change!I used to have effects as an enum with stock values until I ran into having too many of the same effects but different parameters.Like +25% damage for 2 turns as opposed to +50% damage for 3 turns and so on...So I revamped the entire system to use a string with parameters.So now you map it as>Attack+>".25,2"And the enum will get switched to read the parameter string properly.A function within a function.Otherwise there are too many different variations to keep track of...Next:>buff/debuff signatures>buff/debuff stacking>seasonal sprite variationsSee picrel
>>722770317Remember with enough persistence even a goblin may be king one day
happy to see this thread is up and full of progress posting. I'm a bit sick but will try to add footstep sounds today. I also fixed an issue I had since I updated my Trenchbroom and func_godot setup.>>722754667amazing man, can't wait to see them in action!>>722756165that's some cool visual stuff anon. What's the game about?>>722757701remember to announce the Steam demo around here please, I want to try it>>722770845a fuckton of progress as always! Damn, I'm jealous lol. I like the look of the armors in your games, the sheen reminds me of Dark Souls.
>>722772997kek nice. I have a goblin king planned for my game, but he's a fat fuck
>>722773161Excellent, a fat fuck goblin king tends to work great. Reminds me of Arx Fatalis. The goblin king I have planned has more of a Theoden with Grima Wormtongue deal going on.
>>722773606fat goblins became popular after the hobbit got released. Even Dragon's Dogma Online had it's goblin enclave with some retard sitting in the throne>Theoden with Grima Wormtongue damn that sounds kino already anon
>>722772452what is your game
>>722773962sex with monsters
>>722698196yeah buddy
honestly I love this dichotomy, it's fun and keeps the thread alive
>>722773086You might have seen it, this is just the login screen for it. Open-world mmo sandbox with a lot of secret sauce that you wouldn't believe until its tangibly in your hands. Webm is my game but not demonstrative of said secret sauce.
>>722774671man I've been seeing this for quite a while now>a lot of secret sauce that you wouldn't believe until its tangibly in your handssounds fun, I love sandbox shit. Do you have Magicka-like elemental combinations and stuff like that?also fuck I love your enemy sprites.
O3DEchads... we were too cocky...
Kudos to anyone making their own games, however good or bad they may end up being. It shows we don’t need to kowtow to these dark times in the gaming industry where we suffer from terrible games with outrageous budgets and monetization practices. I’m a bum who just makes sprites for fun, here’s an example of some I did for Super Mario Bros Remastered, where you can add your own customized graphics through resource packs.
>>722775278lovely stuff anon, good work
>>722698196Nothing to actually post a pic off.I have recently learned some more about optimization, and decided to redo my engine.Old objective was 100k soldiers on the battlefield, now I'm starting a different approach and hopefully reach 1 or 2 millions like the guy from UEBS2 did.
>>722775278Fun spritework at least. I'd hire you if I could.
>>722775535What kinds game are you making? Tell me more. Cause at this point I’m willing to work for free just to be a part of something.
>>722775857This is my current project: >>722698421I'm also helping out a friend with his 3D game but I don't think that can use any spritework.
>>722775961Well I think having an unlockable retro skin based off of a pixelated game would be cool! You should consider it anon! I'm sure you could make it work.
>>722776214I know that's you Betz, we're not gonna add that.
>>722775961Let’s get in touch. I’m ultra_aka_ross on X and Png4489 on Discord. I’m interested. I’ll be available in about an hour and a half to and for the next five hours.
>>722776429Alright sent. If you see a guy with an avatar of an worried looking Asian guy, it's me.
>>722775278>>722775857Very nice.
>>722774126is that the name
>>722722327Thank you. Again, I apologize for the late reply - as I have learned just now, not only is posing many characters and getting the background time consuming, but missing out on particle systems is annoying.Anyway, here's a cool render. I based its staging on the first concept painting I did for this game.
>>722776267
i got so frustrated looking at that new tokyo xtreme racer game's camera in webms that i just had to make a better camera for my own game that isn't a fully fixed one.half an hour later and that's looking pretty good
What's the progress of Panic Floor Anon's game?
I don't have a Steam Deck to test my game on...
>>722778169I have a steam deck
>>722773086Thanks goblinbro, working while sick sucks been there before, hope you feel better soon.
>>722778316Would you mind trying it out?
>>722774802Thanks anon, the (default) magic system I was thinking this:- There is a semi-binding slot for a magical item, which may be a: codex, grimoire, scroll, sigil, other trinkets- You "fill" pages with the n-spells, which makes you also want to not fill them with useless or less powerful spells, or consider your combinations more wisely- A boss might drop a codex with a greater number of empty pages, or a powerful/rare spellOther than that I was thinking I would expose a {key:value} definition for the server host to do take the available spells and do something similar to runescape with a magic level and required runestones per cast
>>722778435Sure. DM me on discord. v3_guy
I hate sound design. Adjusting the pitch and db for each sfx is going to take a while... any tips?>>722778475the filling pages with spells remind me of old CRPGs where the mages had to memorize a bunch of their available spells before being able to use them. Could be cool! Sure sounds better than the usual mana system.
How do you get over the feeling of "i bet i am doing this so fucking wrong and losing out on so much performance and time"Or is it just typical as they say for most games to kinda be held together by duct tape?Should i just look through a lot of tutorials first that teaches "best practices" of how you're supposed to do everything?
>>722779678you remind me of the anon that made the thread a few days ago about "why wouldn't I start working on my dream game right away"? Anon if you already feel your game is falling apart then no, man that's not normal nor something that's expected to happen. Learn about proper management of a code base, SOLID principles and all that jazz and then come back.
This is an OLD webm but what do we think about connecting NPCs up to LLMs and allowing players to harrass them, maybe even threatening to put them in a potato sack if they don't spill the secrets of the puzzle (example).>>722779191I was thinking of how pokemon has the limited slots when I was a child and enjoyed that. I don't show the UI elements often in my current demos, but I have the book and all that in place. Also now going to do some research on this magicka.
>>722779782Makes sense and i am looking at guides and following what they teach, just seems difficult to find good guides out there sometimes when there are so many jeet ones
>>722779678>"best practices"99% of those are retarded, mostly because they try to be a one size fit all solution in fucking engineering.>How do you get over You time that part of the code.If the optimization is garbage but it's still only accounting for nothing out of your total frame time, you shouldn't care about optimizing it.Can't remember which book about C++ optimization tricks had a line from Carmack saying that it's better to make the code that account for 90% of execution time faster by 10%, than making the code that account for 0.1% faster by a million times.
>>722773962I am going to finish a demo first before I post the name. Afterall, the name is the last thing.Until demo is done, not gonna say much.>>722774126Not me ^ but yes
>>722779678make something that works first and optimize later.better yet, make a basic game, learn the ropes and optimize the next game.I made 3 game jams and a proto-game before I made my own game that was super heavily optimized to the point that you needed less than 800 mb of space and less than 300 mb of RAM to run a fully 3D game. In 2024 no less.And no, no pixelshit or bad graphics, 2k graphics.
more sprites, really wanted to capture the personality in that skid at the end
>>722781292>800 mb of space and less than 300 mb of RAM>super heavily optimized
>>722782659that's funny
>>722782876thanks, I like seeing your game's progress too
>>722780117Dont get racist over tutorials you cant wrap your brain around. One Indian had a tutorial with the code you needed at the beginning so you didn't even need to watch it.
Made a new trailer and updated the playtest buildhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x69L0iryYs
>>722783290Looks great.
>>722783278goblin together strong
Well can't be assed to keep working today. Bit bored, and decided to update my old game to a new version of Unity (it's been bitching about a security thing) so I figured I'd show what I made last year. It's technically "finished" but lacking a bit of polish here and there.
>>722785390>racing game>shows only 5 seconds of "racing"dude you blueballed me
>>722785502Kek. I was worried about file size when I recorded it, turned out to be smaller than I thought. I can make another webm so you can see more in a sec
>>722785656sure! that'd be great.Also, if you use Webm For Retards like me, that program lets you set the target size, so you never go above 4MB
>>722783290way too weeb for me, but it sure looks nice
>>722777250did some adjusting
>>722785878I use webm for lazys, guess it's the same. Good to know you can do this.I can't believe I actually lost this race. Should've purchased booster fuel in the start. My machine learning AI figured that out fast. This is the start of the career mode, so all the stats are at minimum, gets pretty silly later.
Should I implement multiple save slots? I feel like most people don't use more than one, especially for a long game with a progressing little story, like say Cave Story. I also had a little idea about having the title screen change depending on your progress, which is not possible with multiple saves. What do you think?
>>722786605i find them handy for rpgs
managed to bring a custom entity property from Trenchbroom and include it as metadata of the generated nodes. This is great because it will let me determine which footstep sound to play when walking over different brush entities. Sad part is that I had to make a small modification in func_godot's code, so if I ever update it I will lose it but it's just 2 lines of code so no biggie I guess. It's late, but tomorrow I plan on finishing the footstep sounds plus checking out if there might be a clearner (and decoupled from func_godot) way of doing this>>722786164I'm not an expert in racing games but that camera looks great to me>>722786203>machine learning AIinteresting. So the enemy AI learns about how you drive and comes with ways of fucking you up or what?in any case it sounds like a cool game. The idea of improving your vehicle stats reminds of Star Wars Ep1 Racer, which I loved>>722786605people got mad at Dragon's Dogma for not having multiple save slots, and that's a modern single player game. If it's not too much hassle I would add them
>>722786605also you can change it depending on the most recently used save, not very hard to arrange
>>722786605>having the title screen change depending on your progress, which is not possible with multiple savesI'm doing that for my game too and as the other anon said, you could just show the title screen that corresponds to the last saved you used
>>722786929>tomorrow I plan on finishing the footstep soundsthe future is now!https://files.catbox.moe/7md3t0.mp4sounds are kina shit but hey, it works
>>722786605>I also had a little idea about having the title screen change depending on your progress, which is not possible with multiple saves.Silksong does that and it has multiple save slots.
>>722786895>>722786929>>722786964I see. I already went through the trouble of getting a save and load function done anyway, I guess I should just get it done with. Thanks.
>>722786929>machine learning AINah, it doesn't learn while you're playing, it's just a pre-trained model. I just made it race against itself to learn. I looked into doing something that can learn while you're playing but man that went way over my paygrade. Would have to gather tons of data while playing and include it in the model. Not really feasible in a racing game, as far as I can tell. Plus, this project had a set deadline, I finished it in about 4 months.I was going to add a ship inspired by pod racers too.I could link my itch page if anyone wants to try it and hear my awful music
Here's a look at one of the characters in my most recent render: Scalefeather. This flying serpent is a monster that appears during Fygoon's adventures in exile, guarding the Realm Gem of Air. As you can see, this character has existed for some time, and though I have art concerning this beast in a more modern, realistic style, I realized while modeling him that his massive, frog-like maw is important (even if, like all of the boss characters Fygoon finds in exile, are modeled after the visage of a certain Dinosaur).Just thought I'd share this.
>>722788030>soulmost soul soulless
>>722788502There's no beating the OG art, but the story I have in mind would clash too much with these characters and it would end up as silly and melodramatic as a Sonic game that tries to be edgy
I miss Osh and that other dude that was messing around with AI to produce anime, where are them?
>>722789842They got them
>>722789927noooooo
>>722789354Gwimbly ass looking Joey Fygoon. You should've stuck with this.
>>722789842Who?
>>722790891>Who?Osh and that other dude that was messing around with AI to produce anime
>>722791007bruh...
>>722791048I'm not your brother, think you might be mistaking me for someone else
>>722698196im almost at the point were you get the zeus magic in gow1 (ps3 version)3rd playthrough
I am an absolute brainlet with 0 coding knowledge or experience. Is bruteforce learning c++ and using godot engine actually viable or am I wasting my time? pic is concept art I did
>>722791590Try some tutorials, see if you can get anywhere. It will be very challenging, but will be very rewarding if you stick with it. Mind you it will likely take years before you get confident in actually coding yourself. You have nothing to lose by trying.I've been at it for about 12 years and I still look up tutorials.
>>722791590I mean it is a bit cliche, le spooky hallway with unseen big smelly? Eh..
>>722791590That's neat concept art anon! Wish I could draw, the art side of game development is important and seems like a real struggle if you don't have the talent for it and can't afford to hire someone.
>>722791007The thread OP pic is misleading so they probably missed coming here. I'm sure they will be back :)
>>722698196Just finished it. 23% of people have gotten the rarest achievement, so if you're looking for a little drive around, management and collectable hunt game then this might do it.The dialogue is fucking endless though
>>722792412Oh, just got the point of the thread. Eh, fuck it
Anybody know where I can find more tutorials like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLps8bgIeJ4
>>722791962thanks, I just want the most objective trvtnvk so that I dont get some unreasonable high expectations just because Im a glorified ideasguy>>722792027it's a REALLY big smelly tho...>>722792067thanks, I wish I could meaningfuly contribute to anything but I guess with dedication we're all gonna make it
>>722791590>Is bruteforce learning c++ and using godot engine wasting my time?Yes. Godot is designed around GDScript and made it really easy so use that instead. You can add C++ extensions to clear code performance bottlenecks but that's never where the bottleneck is unless you're making Dwarf Fortress
>>722793141Use Jenovah for C++ in Godot
It's so depressing seeing random people on /v/ be so much more talented than me
>>722795993Literally just learn how to do whatever they are doingSpend a night doing it
I just got to the Junk Dealer who shows videos of his autistic girlfriend in Death Stranding
>>722795585Is this a drug reference?
>>722796374I want to make a game like Death Stranding where character has to balance their center of mass but with more platforming elements and tighter level design instead of a huge open world.
>>722795993I feel the same way but I only have myself to blame because I don't put time into acquiring these skills
>>722795993Did you try making a game before whining on the internet about your inferiority?
>>722799486Fygoonman
>>722800554Just thought I'd ask. Whining doesn't get you anywhere when it comes to making games.
>>722789842I'm here.
>>722800883lmao is this for some sort of tentacle hentai game
>>722802263Even better: an action-adventure game. That's a boss character known as the Gremlord.Besides the only tentacle-bearing creatures are the Arganite and the Delvew's Whip.
>>722802882that looks retarded
>>722803074It's fun.
>>722796374whole fuck you made death stranding
>>722802882Don't listen to that other anon; your game looks great. He...actually that poster is probably a xe/xir, is obviously jealous of you and your game. Don't let it get to you, people are always jealous of others who work hard to achieve their dreams.
We need more games with wild and zany art styles. Trying to make games look realistic has made triple a games bland. People are willing to pay for games that look like vomit like cruelty squad.
>>722803221I've grown used to it by this point. In my experience, most haters usually fizzle out over the course of a few weeks.>>722803354Hey.
>>722803537That looks sick, what's the game about and is it on steam yet? Glad to see some devs are making unique styles instead of yet another run of the mill le realistic game
>>722803537The vomit remark was meant for cruelty squad only.
>>722803537This doesn't look wild and zany, it looks like shit and I can do better without even trying.
>>722804054>Glad to see some devs are making unique styles instead of yet another run of the mill le realistic gameAh yes, indie games, a bastion of LE EPIC REALISM
Farting Brap Queen for NES
>>722804054The game's plot concerns the young Dragon and the player's character, Joseph Fygoon. When he turned ten, this young Dragon was crowned the Basileus (or king) of Frydar Island after his father passed; in the five years since, the Dragon had become obsessed with his family's history, as his ancestors all went on extravagant adventures to defend the island kingdom from both domestic and international threats (for instance: Joseph's dad, Basileus Daniel Fygoon, drove away the Banana Lord Mons when he attempted to destroy Frydar Island over "transgressions against the Banana Republic"). Consequently, young Joseph Fygoon, seeking to emulate his forefathers, desires an adventure of his own and takes his friends Alois Ratatosky (the Squirrel) and Balthazar Lux (the Lynx) as his personal army; since there hasn't been any real threat since the Banana Crisis, Fygoon elects to start his own adventures, pitting himself against his own subjects in a vain attempt to forge his own legacy. Of course, this makes him very unpopular with the people (you wouldn't be very fond of someone cutting your best friend to bits, would you?), and so the animosity between Fygoon and his people grows with each "adventure"; not only that, but Fygoon's insistence on going on these quests causes Fygoon's advisor and father figure, Minister Shen, to take the brunt of these misgivings at the hands of the Viceroys that should be answering to the young Dragon.While on one such adventure that you get to play (Fygoon plans to steal a religious artifact from the spiritual Golems), a conspiracy begins to form between an unknown force from beyond the horizon; with help from the disgruntled Viceroys, this menacing beast seeks to overthrow Fygoon and claim the Kingdom of Frydar Island, and ultimately the planet, for himself. It is up to Fygoon to finish his silly adventure and try to stop the conspiracy before it is too late.You can learn more here:https://fygoon.com/game.html

>>722805247not going to your fetish site, sorry
>>722803537>I know what I'll do! I'll just keep adding a UV sphere! Look ma, I'm a modeler!Holy shit this looks terrible
>>722805247DO NOT go to his website btw, he IP tracks everyone that goes to his site looking for other devs to harass.
>>722805435Your argument's entire premise hinges on a since debunked claim that VirusTotal flagged my site.
>>722805372>UV sphereIt's icospheres, you philistine.
I took a break from these threads for months and I can't believe that the crabs are STILL harassing fygoon. Get a life, work on your game. You do have a game, right? So work on it!!Maybe you nodevs can learn a thing or two from fygoon instead of trying to bring him down to your level all the time
Gonna mess with Twine soon for some simple text base branching story stuff. I intend to use stick figures and other simple drawings first since I'm not an artist. Maybe someday I can hire one.
I took a break from these threads for months and I can't believe that Fagoon is STILL shitting up every gamedev thread. Get a life, stop replying to your own posts. Your game is shit, stop shilling it!Maybe you devs can learn a thing or two from Fagoon and just work on your game instead of trying to become a thread personality/antagonist/waste of fucking life
Been hammering away at a massive and growing to-do list. I'm planning too many features that will set me back like 3 months buuuuuuut... they'd make the game 1000x better.
>>722806272ported it to my mobile device and have been testing it whenever I'm not at my pc.
>>722806334updated the demo on steam with a ridiculous amount of content and bugfixes.
>>722698483>not referring to it as Spy Kids 3-D Game Over
>>722791590You can learn c++ ez with https://www.learncpp.com/ if you actually read and follow it, combined with your favourite ai to further explain any questions that you have. For learning program it’s best to write some very simple games or programs first, until you’re at the point where you’re comfortable with the syntax and control structures available in c++. Such a great language, plus you get to learn all the same pointer math you might see in C. Do it anon
>>722803537This game is TOO SOULFUL fygoon please tone down the sovl
>>722805606That's even worse
>>722805951You do know people like >>722806145 don't have anything worth showing, right? Why else would they dedicate their entire lives to being whiny losers?>>722806612Sorry, it's non-negotiable.
>>722805951I can replicate fagoons "game" in 30 minutes.
>>722806272I don't know if this matters to anyone, but i got to get this off my chest. This is my first attempt at a game. and i don't mean "my first real attempt". that prototype was the first thing I've ever programmed and have been adding to it ever since. Some people start with a tetris clone or pong, i started with Monster Freaks!.
>>722806917Neat. The first game I made was a really crappy adventure game featuring Joey Fygoon and it was done in the AgentCubes engine. You couldn't jump, you couldn't attack, all you could do is walk and turn like Bubsy in Bubsy 3D and talk to NPCs who all speak in a robotic voice. I made this in the sixth grade, so while it looks crap, it has a special place in my heart.
>>722806730All you can make is a poor facsimile.
>>722806272Reminds me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Looks cool. How long you been drawing for?
>>722807298>poor
>>722807414'Sup Grextard. Still putting up the facade of seething over my game (even though I know you like it)?I'd like to see you try to remake this:>>722776967
>>722807318I've always been drawing, wanted to make comics growing up, but when i played doom, it blew my mind and i immediately knew i wanted to make games. Before i could program, i was trying to do concept art and then started 3d modelling.
>>722807663That's awesome man. I never knew what I wanted - still don't - always been a consumer of video games instead of a dreamer. I'll look out for your game.
>>722807651>gameYou've been posting still shots for 2 years. You have no game.
>>722807749>You have no game.Ahem:https://fygoon.com/game.htmlBy the way, I made that render earlier today. Just say you are unable to remake that cool render and that I am superior.
>>722807815No one is clicking that link. I see nothing on steam. No game.
>>722807716i appreciate it anon, and honestly, just do what makes you happy, as long a it doesn't hurt you or anyone else.
>>722807884i clicked it lol.honestly, I'm as surprised there's a game as you are. I also thought that game was just a collection of 80s style 3d renders
>>722805247
>>722808136
i have an honest question for fygoon dev:are you taking any considerations into optimization and how many polygons in an average character? May we see a wireframe?
>>722808260You honestly think he knows how to retopo or optimize models? LMAO
>>722808260Here's the base Fygoon model, open at your own risk. Some models have been simplified when used in game compared to the renders seen online. For example, the Steam Armor's neckline is made up of a bunch of toruses while, in game, it's a more simple shape made from a lone torus.>>722808329Hey Grextard.
>>722808080Yep, it's a game. It began as a project I had shelved only to bring up as a shitpost, but when people showed interest, I made it into something more.
>>722808583>but when people showed interestNo one has ever shown interest in your game retard

>>722809806I already did in a previous thread
>>722810243No you didn't. Unless you consider a single crude model your "game".
Yeah that's what I thought.To the actual game developers here, please continue to work on your games.
>>722810282You have no game though
>>722811720Are you calling him a PS3
>>722698683This and also make the game play the 'MOM GET THE CAMERA' soundbite and 'OH BABY A TRIPLE' after every 3rd checkpoint, the cans should also give you +420 points and make the cod hit sound when you pick them up. Oh and don't forget to turn the clock back 10 years

>>722824406Too real bro. Nice work though.
Tore through my dev plan for the day faster than expected. >Made a system for enemies' stun animations to respect direction of attacks. >Player's attack can rebound if hitting an enemy who is blocking.>Added an attitude system to make enemies more aggressive or more cowardly, which controls how eager they are to attack versus dodge, block and circle aroundNow what? Sun is shining, autumn colors are lovely. Guess I'll go for a walk and figure out next steps.
>>722828375Very good! I am finishing up the targeting system, cleaning up more ui bugs, and finally getting to attack and animation locomotion. I'm glad I save the fun stuff for later. Ha I remember shiny blue mushrooms, keep up the progress!
>>722829071Good stuff my dude. Targeting systems can be hard to deal with. Mine was working perfectly when I made it, but at some point it broke and keeps dropping the target.I've been saving the less fun stuff for later lol, gonna have to deal with UI at some point. But not today.
>>722828375based walking anon
>>722830687Mine refuses to clear the array of an enemy it is so annoying but im definitely getting close. I build my stuff with like 1 working function I need to stop doing this. I have to multitask or i go crazy doing just 1 thing. At least the creepy mystery target is finally gone...I hope.UI stuff is such a pain, I tried widget switchers but ended up calling the widget directly as references weren't passing correctly. One thing I learned in unreal is to build a parent reference on the child widget that is a self parent reference when creating the child widget via the parent, so I can directly manipulate 4 levels down if I need to. This is how I was able to fix the animation transition when leaving the load menu because I referenced the continue and new game buttons and animations from the child selection widget. Sorry if I rambled a bit there. I have mkre fun talking about the backend than showing fun graphics lol.
If I could recover my old game from a damaged hard drive I would be sooo happy...
>>722833164A valuable lesson in version control and redundancy
>>722833480Absolutely. I lost thousands of hours of work because I stupidly didn't want to use any cloud storage, and my piece of shit USB drive killed itself.Trying once more to recover the data but it's probably hopeless.
>>722833480Nta but I wish I kept my first working project just to show you guys how far I have come. I have a few test demo areas with borrowed assets in my current project list but not fleshed out with functions. I could probably recreate it but it wouldnt have the same janky charm.
>>722806145kek this, nobody wants to post their game progress and become associated with that freakI'm leaving all these game dev generals until he ropes
>>722806145>>722833974>omg like im so popular and important xP my game requires attention to only thise worthyNo one with autism cares about game dev or caring not to post or post their game here.
Oh is this a progress thread?Last distinct enemy weapon, this shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. (Technically I have a couple of enemy classes left to design which have the weapon as a built-in component of the enemy itself, but the full enemy roster's assets are nearly done).
>>722834228ESL
>>722834380Samurai robo-waifus? I'm in.
>>722834380looks good, are you the dev making that game w/ the blue robot who fights outside of a bunch of asian style architecture?
>>722834479A couple. It's not the full enemy set, just one class.
>>722834395>ESLSorry to hear about your non english-speaking retardation let me say it in another way you might understand. No one cares about you blogposting. It comes off a bit desperate.
>>722834639Well looks good, keep it up
>>722834613I really need to set up another test level for new webms if that single asian-themed map has become my brand identity or whatever. But yes.
>>722834647>No one cares about you blogpostingAre you retarded?
>>722834380cool
Freedom could be yours if you simply worked on the game
>>722834380>>722834639I remember you. Good to see you are still working on your game.
>>722834909Yes, no one cares about you, as in you, the esl retard, and blogposting. You are crying about shit no one cares about. Anon if you don't understand me at this point I don't know how else to help.
>>722835868Don't bother. He'll just call you "fagoon" and furiously shit all over the thread, making things worse for everyone.
>>722836376Why do i even bother man
>>722836605No need to. Just report the hypocritical ban dodger.https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/541931086/#q541966321
>>722826376Thanks man!
>>722837235nobody is ban evading this is what we all think when we see you in the thread
>>722698196Not a game, but who cares.
>>722834380>>722834639those look very cool! if you don't the question, how long has your game been in development?
>>722698196I'm replaying RE4 in VR. I'm on the lake, getting the keys to release Ashley.
>>722805435When you say retard shit like this it means I will never listen to a word out of your mouth
>>722838178You could make a LHX-like game with that model.>>722838334Why trust the lies from his vile cockholster when you can trust facts:https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/93934ac374ebb150fd80487343e2c3b80e71d1e8f82897c5ae4b63b0a4ff570d
>>722698196>At work>Want to clean my room>Do my finances>Shave>Organize my clothe cabinet>Cook some tasty meal>Get home>Spend the next 8 hours playing sprocket trying to not make another panzer 3 wannabe tank>End up eating raw ramen and going to bed 2am still wearing work clothes.
>>722838509A little uncomfortable to go to sleep in a suit and tie, don't you think? Also I can never go a few days without shaving or else I feel like a neanderthal.
>>722698196Not mine but some dudes been making a really neat little fan game for the webcomic OOPs and it looks like he's almost done and I felt someone should know about it outside the update threads.
>>722838307Entirely too goddamn long, anon. Entirely too goddamn long. My earliest notes for the current build (which was started from scratch) go back to 2021. But webm related is from a separate build which I abandoned for a few years and then eventually restarted from scratch; the first work on the FIRST build of the game is from 2014 IIRC.On the other hand I never devoted myself to the project, I've had a full time job the entire time, this is a spare-time hobby project for me. So it's not like it's actual Silksong levels of labor invested into it.
>>722838591At that point I'm half asleep and hyper aware that I might get maybe 4 hours of sleep before having to get up again so I smack down and force myself to sleep.
>>722838508The entire circumstance here is retarded. A virustotal link means nothing here. If I am doing an HTTP Get request to your web server, of course my IP Address is exposed. That said seeing an random IP Address assigned by my ISP that changes regularly means literally nothing.
>>722838665thanks for making me feel better about myself not reelasing a demo after 9 months of dev. Also, your game looks cool as fuck, keep at it man.
>>722838804>That said seeing an random IP Address assigned by my ISP that changes regularly means literally nothingYeah exactly. If he wants I'll tell him in which city I live so he can come over and I can tell him his game is shit to his face.
>>722838959They wouldn't even have context to know if that is a residential vpn or not so no
>>722838665I don't know what to tell you anon. Genokids is at 81 reviews and I doubt that releasing it but without the Early Access part would drastically change the outcome.
>>722838804I know it's absurd, but that guy's entire argument hinged on how a fabricated VirusTotal report said my website was unsafe or something. Even after showing him how, in fact, my website is considered safe on VT, he continues to scream like a rabid baboon about it.>>722838665I never knew you were working on that game idea for so long; most of my own games have been ideas that were being iterated on and scrapped (just look at Impulsehazard) so it's completely understandable. Looks great, though.
>>722839093>Genokids is at 81 reviewsis that good or bad
>>722838858>thanks for making me feel better about myself not reelasing a demo after 9 months of dev9 months is nothing, ESPECIALLY if you're not doing it as a full-time job and the game has any kind of meaningful ambition (i.e. not a simple breakout clone to teach yourself how gamedev works).My benchmark for productivity as a person with a job and a family doing shit for fun for a few hours a day in my bedroom is Pixel. It took him 5 years of free-time work as a bored salaryman to make Cave Story. Granted he didn't start with an engine and tools (as I did) but he also made a mechanically simple 2D sprite-based game where most of the labor invested was just cranking out art assets. And his job was as a programmer, because he studied it in college; I run a grocery store, I taught myself programming for the project (along with 3D modeling and animation).Making video games takes a long time. Just do the work and don't stress about how long it takes. I'm 37 now, even if I release the game when I'm 45 I'll still be younger than Miyazaki and Kamiya were when they released some of their best action games to date and I'm sure my reflexes won't be so dull I can't enjoy it.
>>722839194Sounds decent, that's like 2000 to 4000 copies or so
>>722698196been polishing my recent demo.https://dmcaguy.itch.io/fish
>>722839194Very bad. Unlike most anons, they weren't slacking with the Twitter posts and the Events & Announcement posts so that wishlist number must have been high.
>>722839093Aztez was a masterpiece and peaked at like 2000 players. All Day Dying went free just because the anon who made it figured "I've sold as many copies as I possibly can, this is the only way to get more players and I want people to play it".I'm not doing this for money. I'm doing this because I have a game inside me that needs to get out. If I make enough money to pay for the fees to put the shit on Steam I'll consider it a financial success. I really just want people to play it and love it. My dearest, sincerest hope for the game is that it can develop a tiny community of dedicated modders, so that I can experience the joy of playing the game without knowing everything about it, because I can experience it through the lens of content I didn't build and thus know inside and out. This is not my job. I have a job. I don't aspire to work as a game developer.
>>722839128Fair enough, it was his fabricated fantasy after all
>>722839392i cant speak for everyone, but when I wishlist a game and its released into EA I'll usually hold off on buying for at least a few months.
>>722839583Genokids is on my wishlist but I'm not buying it until it releases. I made that mistake with Ultrakill, the game is fun and all but I don't want to enjoy it in installments.
>>722839381Neat. I'd give it a try but it's only for Windows so I cannot play it. Keep at it, though, the mixed media look is great.>>722839573Like I said, the best thing you can do is to report him for ban evasion.>>722839583>>722839691This is why I'm fine with making my game first before releasing it on Steam.
>>722839691same. For me, it was M&B Bannerlord. Haven't bought anything on EA ever since.
>>722840328Bannerlord isn't even too bad. It's biggest flaw is it doesn't have Pendor. Things could be worse. I bought Starforge by the company Codehatch. Please laugh at me.
>>722839583Remove EA and that’s an extra 30 reviews. Remove the anime and maybe that’s 40 more reviews. But I’m convinced that journos only like Character Action because of mocap and graphics so anons games are fucked either way.
>>722839259thanks anon, your words are encouraging. For all my previous projects I was able to put out a demo way faster, but they were also way simpler games. Also, it doesn't help that I've always been quite bad at estimating effort and times, not just in gamedev hobby but in my professional life>even if I release the game when I'm 45 I'll still be younger than Miyazaki and Kamiya were when they released some of their best action games to datethat's something to keep in mind, it's never too late!>>722840602Fucking Bannerlord on release needed a mod to have banners... in a game called Bannerlord. What the fuck was that?>Starforgedamn, my condolences man>>722840674>Remove the anime and maybe that’s 40 more reviewsnot sure but I'd say there's a lot of overlap between anime fans and char-action fans
s-sorry for killing the thread
>>722841520Thread keeps on slipping.
>>722842472....into the fuuuutuurrreeeee
>>722840674>Remove the anime and maybe that’s 40 more reviewsdoubt it. people love games in that style. look at bomb rush cyberfunk, it has 10k reviews and is a $40 jet set radio clone in a style similar to genokids.>>722841520you didnt kill it, the threads at 400+ posts already so its kinda at the end anyway
>>722806145I stopped posting here a long time ago and it was for the best: Great strides in progress.
Huge props to everyone for keeping the thread on track and actually discussing games. Please, keep this momentum for future threads. Which if you see one pop up tomorrow, WILL NOT be one made for anything except drama farming. I'll make a new one here at some point but it won't be tomorrow.
>>722843645Great. I will look forward to your thread and hopefully have something new to show.
>>722843645>it's only trannyspam if I say so!!You dramafags should stop making threads.
>>722840674I think the biggest problem with the Genokids EA is that what makes Genokids unique and interesting is the tag system. Outside of that, it’s maybe a good game, but not a fresh game. Action games are making a comeback and there are some very strong offerings either out or arriving soon that can entertain genre fans. People will still get value out of Genokids, but that’s because it has a unique gimmick that sets it apart.The problem is, the EA hides that gimmick. Only having 2 of 4 main characters playable means you don’t really even get to experience what makes the gameplay special in the first place, which is experimenting with the tag system. You have this awareness that whatever you DO play, you’re just gonna end up playing it again as new functionality is added. You aren’t going to progress through the EA in episodic fashion, getting chunk after chunk of a linear experience. The experience you ARE presented isn’t even feature/content complete.I think that works against it. EA works better for fully complete vertical slices that add “later” parts of the game. I don’t think Genokids has a complete vertical slice yet. Maybe that isn’t true, maybe the game adds characters as the levels advance, but that isn’t really the sense I get.
my progress? i made it to the literal very end of No Man's Sky. sauce: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3583546228>pic rel is the planet
>>722840750>>722842621*Remove the Persona kind of anime and replace it with a 1900s anime like GundamIf you wanted a more specific thing.
>>722844368I say just scrap the game completely.
Finally got around to figuring out how to use animation blend layers, so I can have a character move and attack at the same time.Realized I have to split all my animations into top and bottom halves, bit of work but not too bad.>Open animator>See this>CryI think perhaps tomorrow I'll scrap this shit, start over, and not use the transitions in animator, like people are saying this days. This is just impossible

So is this how dev threads will be moving forward?

I'm beginning on the process of replacing some of the placeholder assets. For instance, here are the see-saw platforms that I had before. They were always meant to be Solar Panels, as the entire theme of the level is energy generation (hence the windmill and the geothermal plant).>>722789842>>722792313Yeah, it's not the normal OP, which is fine. I miss you, too, random anon!>>722800883Actually sick as fuck.>>722828375Fuck yeah. Love that little goblin, Fairy-game-anon.>>722840750The combat looks so satisfying. Excellent progress, duder.
>>722847758Coming together very nicely there, good to see you moving away from placeholders. Do you have a lot of levels planned already?
>>722847758Thanks. Your game is looking great, too.
>>722847758Dang, that's the good stuff. I think you ought to fake a reflection of Osh in there but it's still looking nice with those clouds reflecting in it.
>>722848058So, my design philosophy is that I want two level themes in every level. Like, in this level it's grassy plains, then you go into the Geothermal plant and it's lava. So, my current planned ones are:-Icy Woods with a Haunted house in it-Top of a Castle where if you go high enough, you launch into Cloud land.-Desert with a watery oasis in it, where the Oasis leads to an underwater city.>>722848162>>722848365Thanks! I might TRY for actual reflections, but I'm also trying to attempt to make it Dreamcast levels of graphics and I don't think the Dreamcast would have proper reflections. I'm also lazy lol.
>>722848480conker on n64 had a reflection if you jump over water, that's what i was thinking of. i think it's a pretty cheap effect
Does anybody else take pictures of random locations in their daily life that look like they would be cool video games setpieces
>>722848831Mental pictures, yeah all the time. I get tons of inspiration from nature.
Nearly ruined my dinner compositing this
>>722849317What genre is this?
>>722851326Zeldasoulsvania action platforming, I guess. Fight goblins, navigate forests and caves, solve a mystery.
Took me 3 days but I have finally finished my complex cutscene manager. Now I can enable/disable cutscenes depending on anything I like, including having certain item in the inventory, having active/completed/failed quest, state of other cutscenes etc.In this example the last cutscene only shows when the second cutscene is finished. You can see how I tried to activate it before the second cutscene, and it's just not available.
>>722848480That’s still this image and its tepidness>Oh but my areas have 2 themes in 1 worldYes and Mario Odyssey has Japan fire world, but that doesn’t change how it’s fire world.
>>722851581Neat. Guess the aesthetic is on point.
>>722851709Cool. I know coordinating between game modes like this is pretty painful. What engine is this?
>>722833865>>722833712>>722833480>>722833164These kind of things worry me. What's the best way to handle technicals of development like this? I'm hoping Godot and similar dev environments have built in source control. Otherwise what, setup Git locally? What do you use for Cloud storage, something like DropBox?
>>722846626Neat. But you should adjust the viewport before making a... Wait a second, I didn't know 4chan accepted .mp4
>>722853047It's Godot. >>722853212I just made private repo on github and upload my commits to it from time to time.
>>722853212I use git to do daily backups ever since that hard drive broke. Gets the job done perfectly, can store everything there.
>>722852653Well, I could explain it as "My game's entire premise is that it's two well known gameplay styles mashed together, so my levels are two well known level themes mashed together," but realistically, you're right. It'll probably come across as "babby's first Mario ripoff". I just don't care.
>>722839435God that's so discouraging. Aztez looks better than anything I could make. I wouldn't really be doing gamedev for money (though money would be nice) but I would at least want people to play the game. Putting so much work into something just for no one to notice is petrifying.
>>722845051Blends are generally terrible for attack animations, because attack animations aren’t “states” they’re “actions”.A good rule of thumb, IMO, is if the character isn’t going to remain in an animation loop for an indeterminate period of time, it shouldn’t be a state. It should be an animation asset you play once via reference. In UE this is done with montages; IDK how it works in Unity (is that Unity?) but a similar system exists. That way you can keep a large table of anim references, and go>play [sword_heavy_4]And not have to worry about managing transition logic. State machines are for handling>you can be running>or falling>or swimming>or crouching>or climbingAnd the logic and transitions between those.
>>722848831nope, but started following some accounts on X that post art like picrel
>>722853212You should build some sort of revision control. While I have a 2tb sd card and back up my game source when I make major changes, im not exactly cataloging my exact changes that revision control can check. Or I password protect zipped source and then upload to Google drive. You guys reminded me to make a solid backup i hadn't done one since September 20th
>>722854094>It'll probably come across as "babby's first Mario ripoff". I just don't care.noooo you have to make what aggy thinks is successful you cant just make a mario clone noooooooo
>>722856162Hey there, Salaryman Shi dev.
>>722855080That's a good rule of thumb, gonna save your advice and look it over tomorrow. My problem is I didn't plan any of it out, I just made an animation, put it in Unity's animator, made it transition from say Idle to Walk and back based on a bool. Then I kept adding more and more animations and connecting them with transitions, until it became that abomination you see there. Now it's too complicated to manage.Been designing the new system today, shouldn't be too much of a hassle to implement.
>>722856278hello
>>722856781If Unity can (it probably can) it would behoove you to nest state machines. I.e. a state machine handles the transition between being grounded and airborne, and within the grounded state is a separate state machine that handles the transition between standing, walking and running. That sort of thing. Especially if you find that you’re getting exponential connection issues (every state you add now needs a connection to every OTHER state, even though it doesn’t have any special transition relationship with those states)
>>722857162>exponential connection issues Yeah, pretty much. It's not quite that bad, because I have a few "connector" states, like a combat idle pose, which connects to all combat states, plus you can allow transitions to be interrupted by a later state, so it can skip a few steps here and there. For example if you do a melee attack it will return to combat idle when it's done and can then go to casting spells, so you don't need to connect attacks and spells directly, and this multi-step transition is instant. Overall it's still not manageable, and I would need even more states to accomplish what I want to.Also, Unity has an annoying feature when you are playing the game and have the animator open, it will focus the animator window on the currently active state, so it becomes hard to analyze problems with transitions, since it keeps jumping around.
>>722770845Still working on targeting but here are my last updates for a bit. >----Targeting----<>set an initial target check to see if the array of target actors has more than 1 to move widget to new target, otherwise ignore switching. This in turn fixed a weird target widget popping up off in the distance when switching targets. >target switching now has a float cool down that compares game time to the last target float to stop rapid target switching without using delay nodes that would cause latency.>dead enemies are now properly removed from the array pool and switching targets checks each time it is ran to refrain from targeting dead ones.>camera transitions between switching targets has been cushioned to stop immediately jerking between targets.>camera movement fully disabled to prevent jiggle with switching targets.>distance float configured to keep enemies too far away from getting added to the array.
>>722847758Hey good to see you man!
>>722835348/v/ made these games?
>>722755464wtf is ctesiphon finally done? you worked on it for like a decade
>>722771721it's AI sloppa models
>>722795993talent is a memeput in the work to git gud and stop being jealous of people who did put in the work
>>722855080Unity has exit times for stuff that doesn't loop but it is a nightmare to handle in a complex animator tree. It can be simplified a bit by having transitions to and from any state but that won't always make sense.
>>722854094>>722856162It’s not even about success. Pass Sonic Heroes over to the kids and they’ll ask why Osh doesn’t have a single area that’s as interesting as Air Fleet.
>>722861013Wow, I honestly don't care with models that convincing.
>>722861778it's only got a single area so far retard-kun-sama.
>>722862016it will end up like any asset flip made by an amateurat a glance the graphics look good but once you see some video it is immediately obvious that it's a low effort game
>>722862142Eh I have seen much worse.
>>722862045We were given a list. I don’t need to see the full game to know that collectathons can’t have the setpieces and camera angles of a linear game.
