Even a small simple game requires so much coding it's insane.
>>726416751I started a few years ago and I'm not good but I'm "good enough" to make something for game dev
>>726413527I started my game Sunday. No one steal my design.
>>726418167This but assets instead of coding
>>726415098he means fagoon, aka lizard boy. aka the half russian chimera who is obsessed with alice in wonderland, wrestling, lizards, and most importantly gay sex.
>>726418167depends on what you consider small
I hate how none of 4chan's indie dev threads are comfy anymore. AGDG is toxic and dead, and not /v/ gamedev threads are the same. Even a few years ago in Tomo dev times it was mostly wholesome.
>>726418885did /agdg/ dox him too?This is why I'm fucking scared of schizos with too much free time...
>>726419075There's one more game dev thread you haven't mentioned that's still pretty comfy. Super slow, but 9 times out of 10 they're good threads.
>>726418167I find general scripting/coding the easiest part of game dev
>>726419075These threads can never reach those heights, but they can be decently comfy, but IF and only if:1. They're made after a long hiatus2. That drag-on faggot doesn't make it or post in it.Sadly both those conditions have already failed.
>>726419242no, he doxxed himself.
>>726418726i wouldn't even know what i was stealing. squares!?
i decided to support loading translations from a folder and learned that godot's translation systems are embarassingly brokentranslationserver is only available in the editor, gettext support is so broken that error messages tell you to use an unexposed class (TranslationPO, which funnily enough does show up in the autocomplete suggestions)wasn't even that much work making my own system, but as usual godot ships the easy parts and then gives up
>>726418167Programming a game with no engine has changed my definition of small. I used to think of anything you'd see on the SNES as small, now I think of small as Pong and early Atari games.
I'm too stupid for programming. Is vibe coding viable yet?
>>726419404mmm okay... I thought something had happened similar to that lewd vn guy.

Partway through a new portrait for my game, a winged lady. While on the kind side and flirty, her race has a very long lifespan so they get a bit superior feeling like elves do in many settings. Up to you whether you feel her finding your humanity quaint and endearing bothers you or not.
>>7264201420:07 gave me a spoop
>>726420750since she's a winged creature and not an angel. I would rape.
>>726419625yes
>>726420905Anon noooo
some faces for the dialogue box
>>726421923would rape her too
>>726418726very cool style anon, are you also making a kingdom hearts clone? That is what I am making.Here, I have attached a webm showcasing the early stages of the combat system. I think it looks pretty great so far!
Can anyone post some examples of recognizable character silhouettes?
>>726421993Somebody must stop this madman!
>>726422327
>>726419483Correct, no one else use squares>>726419679Not sure, never played that game.
>>726422340Sorry, she's cute but I'm not a kemonig... I wouldn't rape her.
too cold to work on my game I had to quit being a rat and turn ON heaters
Just like, join show. https://thev3expo.com/submit/
>>726419298Definitely not /gedg/ then
>>726420142Did you mean to post this on October, it's not too late. Anyway, I wish you'd add a key rebinding menu for the keyboard controls, shooting using the mouse really sucks.
I wanted to develop my own game part time because the job market is shit. How do I get started with this? I don't know how to code.
>>726430510Use gamemaker and look up a tutorial for what you want. If you want 3D, use Unity.
>>726430668Alright anything else? What about music? Do I just hire someone to make music?
Doing some tests with offset level loading. Should allow for a more interesting overall map. Not sure if the camera should move diagonally or stick to cardinal directions, moving in an L-shape
It keeps getting buried because I post too late, but I finally got the old people roguelite page up on steam, it's a bingo roguelite In the same vein as balatro.Still waiting on my FUCKING playtesters to give me enough gameplay footage for a trailerhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4045170/Bingo_Betty/It's crazy how much easier it is to test shit when you have testers doing it for you when you're too busy wageslaving
>>726430738Either do that or look up tutorials for a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). FL Studio is the most popular, Reaper and LMMS are good alternatives if you don't want to pirate, but you'll have to get instruments either way, usually .vst instruments. You can either look for free ones, or look for pirated ones.Alternatively, you can try Sunvox as a DAW and make your own instruments through generators and effects, you can try to look at the default ones it comes with to see how they work.
>>726431836Fucking dominating. Thanks dude.
>>726432327I gotta warn you that I probably made it sound easier than it actually is. But you can probably learn it regardless. I'd consider it on the level of learning to do 3D, and harder than learning to do 2D.
>>726431786Looks charming. You should post some .webms.
>>726430849Diagonal camera movements if you're going for true pixel perfect (as in rendering internally at a very low resolution) is a bitch because any movements that aren't at a value that's a multiple of your framerate can create jitter.We rendered natively at 320x240 for full visual authenticity, and the base player movement speed is 120 (walking) and 180 (running) px/second. I had to do some weird shit to reduce the jitter on diagonal movement since moving at those speeds diagonally creates vector components of ~85 and ~127 px/second, respectively. I had to snap those components to 90/120 px per second, since they're multiples of 30 at least so it's a little less jarring. That means diagonal walking is technically ~7px/sec faster and diagonal running is technically ~10px/sec slower, but you don't notice in gameplay. I also had to ensure that the subpixel components were rounded to the same half-value so the camera would actually move in a true diagonal instead of creating tiny L-shaped movements every few frames (see pic related, although it's an approximation), and it looked like shit.tl;dr be careful with your diagonals
>>726433061I am at wagecage so I will try to post a webm or two when I get back homeIt's kinda hard because this game DESTROYS bit rates with all the visual effects but I will try to encode something that is a little better than rancid feculence tier
>>726420750Consider the following
>>726434519God dammit anon, are you the same one who did something similar to my black haired knight girl months ago?

>>726419075>Tomo dev timesExactly what put the downward spiral in an overdrive - sucking off a German avatarfag. Fygoon, aliceposting, bocchiposting, all other cancer except cris? All rooted here.
>>726436050That's a tough situation. I feel similarly with my SRPG probably coming out next year and the new Fire Emblem's release is just some time in 2026. Hopefully you have some unique selling points to help stand out.

I don't usually post, but.What do you think about character proportions?This is about 6.5 heads tall figure, and realistic proportions is about 7.5. I started with this somewhat stylized figure but then thought about redoing it in normal proportions. For example Vagrant Story (best looking game of PS1) characters are 7.5 heads tall despite being a Japanese RPG game.
>>726439664As long as it’s consistent, then that's all that matters. Unless you're Nintendo: then you can mix realistic humans with stylized humans like Mario and Pauline and people will claim it's the best looking game of all time.
>>726413527working on a thiccness meter>>726431786based. i could see someone like northernlion playing this anon, only crit i'd have is the mixels on that shopping screen are crazy
Did I post these in an earlier thread? If I did I apologize. Also I've been playing a handful of games in just the last week alone, all of em are inspiring. Ooo and Elec Head, two puzzle platformers from the same dev team. Morsels, a chaotic action arcade top-down shooter. Windswept, the closest game to DKC I've seen from an indie but it's already doin enough to distinguish itself. And I still gotta play Neon Inferno which came out yesterday. Can barely keep up with it all.In any case, I'm bored and I want to challenge myself. Gimme a suggestion for something to sprite and the genre it's for, and I'll pick one and take a crack at it. An enemy, a monster, an art asset like a building, etc.
Finished the ultimate Frydarian Saga render featuring most of the characters you will see, from the past, present, and time yet to come.

Not going to let the thread die because of some filth, so here's a closer look at one of the creatures in the ultimate Frydarian Saga render: the Night Terror.
>>726451105Cute elf
Is the general that bad that we have these threads here regularly? Given I'm seeing some regulars here as well posting the shit same repeatedly.
Here is another creature who lurks in the background of the render: Sircam. A member of the Malvyr race, these insidious automatons crawl the regions of the WebWurlde in search of people of interest and provide photographs and audio recordings to their master, Novarg the Wyrm; Sircams fill the same niche as Agent.BTZ, in that they specialize in collecting and distributing sensitive information, but while Agent.BTZ is the best at the game, Sircams are more plentiful and can also be used as general surveillance devices. Furthermore, while Agent.BTZ is a wholly agentic entity, using his own repertoire of tools such as portal generators and insidious Autorun minions to collect information, Novarg the Wyrm can remotely control Sircams and turn them into walking turrets, much like the purpose-built Blasters; unlike Blasters, which are used more as artillery pieces by Novarg and his Siansis, Sircams use less lethal forms of attack (if you consider being shot by data as powerful as a bullet being less lethal than being blown to corrupted bits).
>>726413986You can do it, working on something and taking a risk is better than doing nothing at all like many others.
>>726420142Real 2010 flash game vibes here
>>726451105Do you do all your 3D modeling and textures? Looks like you're using a texture swap for the face for emotes. Elfu ears fantastic. I still need to make clothes for my demon NPC.
>>726454732Ew. /agdg/ is down the hall and to the left, scum:>>>/vg/
>>726454993I haven't gone there since 2020. What game you making?
>>726454732Great demon model.Yes, I make all of my character models including the textures. I animate the face by changing the material's UV coords.
>>726413986I am depressed TO!You are not ALONE!Make things that make you feel HAPPY!
Ok now what?
>>726455312oh nice to see progress on this, keep it up anon
>>726455286Keep it up. I do the same for my mouth textures but my eyes are based off Twilight Princess system. Its neat what tricks you can do to animate faces without modeling the whole thing.
>>726413527>gamebryo still listedmah nigga
>>726455528nta, but how does the Twilight Princess system work?

>>726455616https://www.benjones.us/twilight-princess-eyes-breakdown/This is a good article on how. Basically alpha cutouts. Wind Waker did something similar but the pupil was in front of the eye.
>>726449363This is so cool, I'm super disappointed you'll never do anything with all this hard work and skill.
>>726455516Thank you for the good vibes, anon!
>>726419392basically the only time you can have a comfy thread is if fagoon is banned and can't postsadly that seems to never happen anymore since he probably uses the proxy to dodge his multiple permanent ban evasion bans
>>726450097thanks>>726455843it's being coded
>>726456146I'll give you the benefit of the doubt if you can promise me you won't make a sequel years later in which all the stick men are ugly homer simpson abominations
>>726456146wait this is low key awesomehow did you do those effects?is it a fluid sim or just animated by hand?
>>726455807This is so much more useful than both the book I purchased on Shader dev AND the multiple video tutorials I watched on similar eye shader tech.He doesn't cover the eye jitter, but I know the exact math formula I'd need to do something similar nicely.My character doesn't have eyelids, I wonder if I could fake that improved blink effect by just using a modified pupil shape?
>>726456241I don't plan to make sequels of this one, just have ideas for this one version>>726456281animated by hand, I'm not smart enough to code fluid sim. It's just if/else statements and animations to fit the scenario
>>726455213Only the greatest game of all time.
>>726454732nice tummy
>>726456241Is that a dig at Nidhogg?
>>726455312I remember seeing your bug a while ago I think this past spring or summer and I also made a bug character too around that time, but the game idea didn't go through. I made quite a few animations for it but it's still largely unfinished, and I'm working on something else now. I'm glad you're still working on it. Also,>that shape key name
>>726419007Pretty much any 2D game.It looks like just player controller, some sprites, interaction thingies, text, quest log, etc.. at first but then you have to do saving and loading, inventory, pathfinding, enemy AI, all combat mechanics, day night cycle.. it just blows up when you realize how much stuff is there in the background you don't see.
>>726455631Oh, I haven't seen you in a while. Thanks for the cute art.
>>726453240Yes. I don't frequent these threads much but you'll at least get actual technical answers here. The general will just passively aggressively shitpost and schizo out over your question.
>>726442679I think i got it figured out, still kind of looks like oatmeal, but i think it's as good as I can ger.Either way, enjoy this webm of a "small" chain in Bingo Betty
>>726442679Great juice. But the salesman sprite looks terrible, he doesn't fit in at all, can't you make him realistic like the character portraits?
>>726458464Looks like something my grandmother would play.
>>726458487It will be the other way around eventually, I had other versions of the shopkeeper but they looked even worse. Plus this one has the talking and blinking shit already worked in. Eventually I will completely rework the playable character sprites and some other visuals (like that fucking shop background) and make the characters emote with actions in game but thats not something i'm going to let hold me back right now
>>726455312This looks a lot better. You could push it farther though. Looks like you don't really have any Z axis rotation. Your timing is also very even everything kind of happens at the same temporal spacing as everything else. Think of it like music. It would be kind of boring if it was just a bunch of quarter notes. Great progress though
I will make my creepy Pong/Breakout Metroidvania-lite with arcadey minigames and cathartic shmup sections if it's the last thing I do.
>>726455390Step 2. Find an autistic shader wizard to do the rest of that shit for you, because fuck shader writing for anything beyond the basics.
>>726455374Nice. New background looks great.
>>726455374I'm getting Ristar vibes with that colour scheme. Did you reference any games in particular for the aesthetic building?
At what point do you take a class and split it up into multiple other classes that inherit it for general objects? Say you have an on/off switch that can come in various kinds, like one that turns on permanently, one that auto-unsets after a time, one that's freely togglable between the states, one that requires a key, etc. You could fit all of that in one script easily and just assign a value to the object calling it to determining what kind of switch logic to use. If anything, the only one in this limited example I would split off as another class inheriting the base switch, is the switch requiring a timer, due to its reliance on another object (a timer) existing.It's usually only when Actors are involved where the splits become more obvious to make for me, when you got a base expectation of what characters in a scene need (eg. Display model, Health system), and then the specific shit either the Player, Enemy, or NPC needs on top that the others don't (Player - Controls. Enemy - AI systems. NPC - Dialog).
>>726413527>Peripeteia dev is getting review bombed by trannies because he shits on Signalis fans for being annoying and doesn't want them on his discord serverI wonder how other game devs handle the tranny problem with how insufferable they are.
>>726456062Shut the fuck up Alicefaggot.
>>726457763if its really small you can cut easily:-saving and loading (no need to come back to it if it's small)-questlog (keep a few objectives, show em in HUD)-pathfinding (already handled by most engines for you)-enemy ai (keep rudimentary as fuck - grug see, grug attack)-combat mechanics (same as above)-day night cyclethere you go, back to work
>>726418167If you're talking from scratch and having to write your own libraries/routines, yeah. If you're using Unity or Godot, the amount of scripting you need to do to have something usable is laughably small in comparison due to the engine doing the heavy lifting for you.

Daily reminder: Perfection is not attainableMake it good enough and release itDon't be like Bokudev and spend 10 years on a single game, in a foolish attempt to perfect it

>>726473591Looks like a fun character, just needs to up the speed a bit.
>>726473109my game might also take 10 years, not because I'm looking for perfection but because I got a job. I'm already 5 years in and less than 50% done

>>726473932speed will be for when you're floating on gas-streams
>>726473998the thing is I don't want to be a gamedev, I only want my dream game to be real and that's it, so I don't have any plans to continue when I'm done with this one
>>726474167Fair enough, but I have multiple dream games so making them all would be ideal, and that means being able to produce them in a reasonable timeframe. And I'm certain more dream games will come to me in time.
>>726473932like this
>>726444792Good, don't get involved with this hellhole. Maybe if a certain faggot chokes on his tongue in his sleep the quality of these threads would improve instantly.>>726453240It is bad.Firstly, generals are not allowed on this board whatsoever. No "whataboutism" excuses.Secondly, generals attract schizos, and we already have an annoying one.Thirdly, there is barely any tangible progress to report on having these threads made so frequently.Finally, these threads already fucking suck and aren't as great as they used to be.

I'm still pretty whether to use smooth shading or not in games/modeling. Is it just a matter of style in the end? Or does having square objects use flat shading a better option?
>>726468784I probably should yeah, although in this specific case I already know my bottleneck: it's the boid compute shader, more specifically having to scan all neighboring cells. It's like, 95% of the frametime.My current space partition is an array where each cell has a known offset and its inhabitant IDs are stored linearly there - I doubt there is a way to make something much faster to read than that.I can push to 400k by making the partition flat and not letting the boids fly, which is closer to how things are in UEBS2, but that's still one magnitude slower than I need.

>>726488956Thats smart anon thank you i didnt think of that
>>726413527>play real indie games from other anonsI absolutely refuse to believe an anon has made a game worth playing unless he's working at a "real" studio.
>>726489905I'm making one right now anonI have a feeling the real ones are gonna like it
>>726489664Of course. Anons are more than happy to network with people. Artists I recommend include Kujalla, PaintFag (yes, that is his alias), and Pogeaux.

which style looks best? It's two different implementations of a new fullscreen shader I'm working on. Far left is normal, no shader applied. Middle is ver1, right is ver2.They're really similar, but how they adjust the colors and handle outlines are slightly different. Middle is sobel outlines, independent from the final color outputs. Right uses a combination of dot product and some other maths to find where lines are, which means they're a bit more integrated with how the color output works. Prob a bad explanation, but that doesn't matter. Which looks better with how the lines interact w/ the scene and also how the color is changed from the source/original image?fwiw, the color grading isn't done on this one yet so the colors, brightness, etc. are a bit off. I'm going for a Moebius style because I think that game Sable did a bad job.

>>726494234enemy gains resistance to the last technique used
>>726494485hmmm katsup
>>726493408I'm not a game dev or a rocket scientist.There's a bit of funkyness on the right scene where I've circled. That's literally the only detail that comes to mind as being better/worse between them. Aside from color which is better on the left but you said you're not done with color.Things also look different in motion than stills so idk. Goodluck friend.
>>726494485ohhh dope. i feel like its a bit too much blood but its cool anyway. the bloody footsteps are a nice touch, id make them last longer so theyre easier to see though
>>726494234cooldowns, charges, mana, energy/stamina, build/spend cycles.
>>726493408v2 is far superior to v1 as far as outlines go. the outlines actually correlate with what we would consider objects in the scene whereas v1 put a shit ton of lines on the ground which is conceptually one object.why do you desaturate so much though? I don't like the original colors either but it seems you're asking your postprocessing to do too much heavy lifting if it has to turn something as garish as the scene on the left into something nice looking. up the saturation and then choose better colors on the materials imo.
>>726494485Osur you have an entire shitcord to do your self-fellating.
>>726495037thanks, on the right it creates a gradient to see how far smoothing will be, so there's some smearing, it's using a function I made in my previous kuwahara filters to kinda smooth kernels dependent on color difference>>726495225I'm doing muted colors, idk. the one on the far right converts to greyscale before reconstructing the colors, it gives me a lot of control over how things are colored. To be honest, for this one it doesn't matter at all what the initial colors are, just the values.I'll post 2 pics to show what I mean. This pic is of my kuwahara I've been working on, the top half is no filter, bottom half is second filter with colors reconstructed as close to the original as possibleIn my reply to this post I'll show how the control over colors can get neat results.
>>726496391>>726495225and this one, its the same scene, same object materials. The only change is in the color reconstruction pass of the shader. Yellows got messed up, but that one is also still a work in progress I just needed to take a break.basically for that type of shader, it doesn't matter the colors a ton. In my initial post of the moebius style, the middle one does need specific colors prior to the fullscreen shader is applied.
>>726496621kys
>>726495047yeah the aoe splash around the dead bodies is a bit too much. will tweak it depending on the distance. right now the only thing that scales is how covered the player will be - the particle splashes are always the same>>726495334you're upset over my progress posting in the progress posting thread?stay mad loser

>>726496862Uh oh Osur meltie
>>726495334Link it, he deserves another follower.
>>726493408>>726495037>>726495225also, for part of the outlines being a bit too much on the initial post, it's cus the surface shader for most objects in the scene is supposed to go with pic rel fullscreen shader.The initial post's 2 shader variants is supposed to only go with the surface shader that's on the bush thing with the spots right at the front.I've been turning into a crazy person mad scientist the past few weeks and have been staying up until 4am reading articles about shaders and then also making my own shaders. So if this sounds like ramblings of a crazy person, you're right!!
>>726496962Yes, you indeed can't

>>72646443110 hours late so you may not see this, but yeah, the update came out a little over two weeks ago. Way less bugs than usual but no new Steam reviews and abysmal sales.I'm doing a little bit of work to set up a mobile port and then MS is totally done. I've already started on my next project.
>>726497885Surprise, I saw your post. That sucks to hear, I was actually waiting for the update to buy it so I guess I ought to do that soon
>>726498039It is what it is. We're grateful to have gotten the reception that we did, especially after seeing that article about how many games don't even make back the $100 to get onto the storefront in the first place. I'm also a lot more comfortable working with the engine now. It'll be on sale in the winter sale on Dec 18th so you can wait to pick it up then if you want the discount.
>>726433450This is some great advice, thanks mirrordude. I'm rendering internally at GB-like resolution so this is all very relevant.

So much ego over such a simple looking, basic game
>>726500957
>>726500767Sorry but I'm too self conscious and refuse to believe I will ever get good enough to work on real project.
>>726501345Pussy. Post something you've made
>>726501405
>>726501702That's good, but not the style I have in mind. Are you flexible? Show me what else you got.
>>726501248I'm not envious, I'm just fucking tired of it. I've seen you shit up random threads constantly and I don't understand. Unless you're a fucking open world RPG with multiplayer, this level of glazing yourself isn't warranted.
>>726502536No you dummy, I'm describing fagtroon.He doesn't have any IQ to be aware of wisdom like that.
>>726502536>Unless you're a fucking open world RPG with multiplayerIronically underspace shills himself far less
made a little change to help with the outlines weights. Basically it takes the direction the camera is facing in relation to the "main" light, and adjust weights of the lines based on that. Webm is just me rotating the "main" light around in a circleone annoying thing I'm realizing is that it's maybe not a good idea to control surface shader passes with the rendering pipeline stack, but I'm not sure how else to perform multiple passes onto surfaces. For example, on my painting shader, the rendering feature will tell all surfaces shaders to do a triplanar sampling pass before their regular colors pass, this way i don't need to re-construct the normals, position, etc. inside the full screen shader and can adjust the triplanar settings for each object individually
Been working on a rough draft of a trailer, the first 15 seconds being this. The next 30-45 seconds would just be going through basic game mechanics and whatnot with some text on screen explaining what they're looking at a bit.Version with sound:https://files.catbox.moe/e777vi.webm
>>726504184dope
>>726504184intro is a really good hook into the captains' log which is a funny punchline
>>726494485Did you submit to the demo-day? I wanna play that.
>>726504184cuts smaller than 2 seconds are bad.start or end with breaking through the wormhole, the map navigation is a weaker scene.show combat before the map.
>>726494424Like right now it's too easy to just cheese it by spamming attack. You can redirect it back but it just causes a loop.
>>726497476An update literally dropped two weeks ago.
>>726505142For that one? Give it regenerating "ammo".
>>726505283thats the same as a mana bar though.
>>726505057yeah but its basically a room and some guns, about 3 mins of content. wait for the next one, i'll try and have a level done by then
>>726505142Have the character punish the player. In God of War, if you spam the Plume of Prometheus on a Minotaur, it will block every attack until Kratos begins to sweep the blades back to finish the combo at which point the Minotaur will ram into Kratos which stuns him just long enough for the Minotaur to begin his own powerful attack that, if not dodged, will do damage. Maybe you could do something like that. If you have a water-based elemental warrior, I recommend having him pull a Glacius and sink into a puddle only to move close and hit a gnarly uppercut on the player
>>726505142Just curious, you alternate between this and Reinbo to prevent burnout (heh) right?
>>726502536>>726502869>>726503030You can just say you're jelly of me. No need to hide behind the skirts of altruism.As they say: hate me, but do it honestly.
>>726505712that'll work for the AI, but not pvp stuff. >>726505927yup pretty much
>>726505987>he thinks I'm being altruisticYou're a fucking moron.
>>726505142Well generally in fighting games you'd have options like:- Jump over while blocking to get closer- Move forward and block/parry in-between projectiles- Use a move that moves/teleports you closer- Use your own projectile that avoids those projectiles, maybe a slower one that hits from the ground or breaks past the other projectiles- Use a super armor move that makes you take no damage- Use a dash that dodges projectiles
>>726505987Nobody is jealous of you fagoon. If I spent years working on the same project and it looked anything like frydarian tale, I'd quit immediately, not bombard threads with delusions of grandeur.
>>726505283Like a mana/ki bar
>>726505495Then a cooldown, make it so the attack won't trigger again for a few seconds after the combo or the combo window is over.
>>726506075The puddle uppercut could work for PvP because it's a great move in the original Killer Instinct arcade game, but that's just my suggestion. The Minotaur thing 100% is just an enemy AI thing, I must agree on that.
>>726506585mana/kiYou mean a monkey?
Anons shit on me for using AI voice acting but when I asked them to voice act in my game to replace it all, for some reason nobody respond. Strange.
>>726506152You always ree out at my presence saying something along the lines of:>Durrrr, da threds wuld be bedder if faggoon fagtroon din pos his dragun muhfugga Toemoe bix nood, etc.>>726506334The reason why you never post your game is because you never made one. Prove me wrong.
>>726508154People don't post their games because you then spend the next few threads seething at them like the spastic egomaniac you are.
>>726506334It's not even that it looks bad (though it sort of does). It just looks like a basic shitty game.I don't know why every egomaniac on 4chan always produces something that looks like a fucking deviantart page with zero actual ambition.
>>726508267No, people don't post games because losers like you do shit like this: >>726414197Quite a wonderfully upkept community you are making, what with encouraging people to tell developers to fuck off.
>>726508554>egomaniacGuess you finally picked up a dictionary and looked up the definition of a "psychopath", huh?
>>726508842Don't play the victim, I've seen you spam your shit in random threads.
>>726509116I'm not playing the victim, I’m just pointing out your fallacious logic: people are willing and have posted their games in these threads, but because of the brigading of fools like you, it's no wonder that many have left.By the way, any reason why you losers like to dox people? Kind of a fucked up thing to do, don't you think?
>>726505987
>>726503787interesting, it still looks pretty bad though
>>726509760You tell people to go to trash or agdg, things would be better if you were gone too desu. I thought you were going to behave for your daddy goblin Fagoon, what happened???? He's going to turn on you too if you keep this up!

Working on passing over a bunch of existing game mechanics and polishing them up a bit, or fixing them outright (like piracy, which apparently nobody ever used seeing as it was broken as fuck). Also redid missile code a bit to allow it missile launchers to be properly used by larger ships, and made the legendary enemies that use those stronger. Also starting to line up voice actors as things get closer to 1.0.

Our completely opposite forms of schizophrenia could make something interesting.
>>726515725Anon do you even have a game? Assuming your the same one whos posted shaders shit in the last year, where is your game??
Did some more boring ui stuff today, now I have a mostly functional options menu. Going to work on rebinding controls next, hopefully it's not annoying to do.
>>726517978>Why the fuck would I shill your game? I'm kind of fucking sick of making art to shill people's game just to get fucking b& and not even get a key in compensation.Dev posts his game in gamedev thread and first thing you do is sperg out and talk about yourself?
>>726518889looking really good
>>726518889Good luck. Too many devs neglect rebinding controls even though I think it's one of the most basic things you should implement from the get go. Some demos are nearly unplayable for me because of the hardset controls. And most of all, why the heck are people putting MOUSE BUTTONS as the action button in platformer games.
>>726519638>Since no one else is going to do itthen don't talk about me first if you're scared I might respond, bitch
>>726518340yeah but I dont post it that often. heres a super old webm
>>726518889I think the moon should be yellow but it looks good
>>726522660Interesting art style.
Reminder
>>726522903thanks, but that level doesn't look like that anymore. the most recent of the apartment area I have is webm rel, but it looks really dark cus I made this webm when I started branching away from unity's default lighting solution(s) in favor of fake lighting that's injected in a render pass. the lights in the dungeon at the end for the webm is the first time I got my fake lights working, now its a full blown volumetric lighting that can bake while the scene is loading.
>>726413527I have zero idea on how to make games and I'm too retarded to learn how to program and draw. I wish I could make my own games

>>726523926I dont care too much about sales for my game, I'm only making it to add to my portfolio when applying to jobs.

is this considered a coombait design or?
>>726525304why are you here anonyou don't have a game and you contribute nothing
>>726525554no
>>726525853thanks
>>726525554It's really refreshing to see someone in these dev threads that can actually design a competent character. Really appealing stuff, anon!
>>726526458cool beans
>>726523926> lifetime revenue $496I still feel like a failure though
>>726523926I'm already getting paid for developing the game so whatever.
>>726523926>60% of games make moneythis has unironically given me optimismthought there would be far more failed games
>>726526631been to /co/ once in a blue moon
>>726523926let's be honest anon if you sort through games released on any given day it's just piles of low effort shit that nobody has heard about.
>>726515725looks like a force field
I'm incapable of designing a game that's low scope
did anyone else here spent years learning gamedev and then quit? how did you feel?
>>72652392699.9% of those games barely have any effort put into them, most games posted here are leagues above them
>>726525554Yes, I'm cooming to that eyeshadow
>>726413986Same, I've been hoping the motivation will come back but I'm starting to think it's not going to.
>>726529262I feel this way now. I feel like my game would inevitably get buried by sheer numbers of indie cash grabs, and AI can make a game in a day...No matter how good I am, AI will get better. Already AI art is miles better than 90% of human artists. What's the point?
>>726529852make a game you will enjoy even if no one buys it. If I get far enough that I think I will release it, I will buy myself Steam Deck to verify it plays nice on it.
>>726529852lol ai art is dogshit. Way to fully suck down the propaganda. Let me give you a little linus tech tip. Giving up and being a faggot weiner baby is 100x worse than just failing. If you fail at least you can learn something. 90% of games that come out on Steam everyday are total garbage that are not technically good and have nothing greater to say and no gameplay innovations. Tighten up
>>726525554Breedy good sprite. I just want to say that maybe the portraits could benefit from a lil shading on the bangs and some other colour to make it not dissapear as much on the flustered one.
the AI can take shortcuts now... vid related is the AI playing
thinking about other minigames to put in
>>726530173looks great anon
>>726525554no. it's transcoded though. and I'm not going to tell you how to fix it because that would make it harder for me to dodge tranny games.

>>726530950Transcoded post
>>726530083my hand-drawn version isn't even close to as good as what ai made in 15 seconds.
A WIP of a mockup I'm makin for fun. Havin a hard time tryin to make sure I limit the palette but still get across the details.Also if anyone has any spriting requests I'd be happy to take a crack at it for practice. A monster, a tree, an object, whatever.
>>726531415looks like generic slop wish some nonsense details.
>>726530173smart
>>726531415That just looks like mass produced slop that's copying the Fallout posters.
>>726532147May be. But it's better than I can do. And it showed me that I need to get WAY better at painting texture
>>726532391>>726532147here's mine for comparison.I asked chatgpt to repaint this and it blows mine out of the fuckin' water. And I've been drawing for 20+ years.
>>726532408So just get better. Ai art is 0/10 because it's doesn't mean anything.
>>726532618That looks way better than what it slopped out.
>>726532678Look I'm on the same side as you. I'm not defending AI art. But will anything we do stop large companies from using AI art? Will we stop Hollywood or netflix from using AI for anything creative? Will that stop solo Indies from using AI to pump out games daily? It won't. And AI will only get better at mimicking real art to the point of being indiscernible. I'm obsolete. My game is obsolete. What's the point?
>>726532618i don't know what it is, anon, but yours looks "better" even though technically speaking it isn't. i guess because it was made by you and there it feels authentic, personal, and organic. like the AI one looks to me like a "yeah it's a skeleton with a scythe" and then i forget how it looked like, but yours left an impression.
>>726533015Why do people sell handmade things which can be mass produced?because people value human creationgrow the fuck up and stop doomposting if youre not here to contribute properly
>>726533015>Will that stop solo Indies from using AI to pump out games daily?I'd love to see what these ai games are that are just selling millions of copies. They don't exist anon. I've seen a massive pullback on ai art on Artstation and other platforms because nobody wants to see it. It doesn't mean anything because there is no person behind it conveying anything. >Look I'm on the same side as you. I'm not defending AI art. But will anything we do stop large companies from using AI art?you don't work for a big company so why do you care if fucking commercials are AI? Everyone under 40 can tell when stuff is ai slop and people will always seek out art made by a person. If you still want to give up then fine. Less competition for me. To hell with you
>>726533363Well if you look back I was answering questions posted in this thread, so I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way.
>>726413527I think you mean e33 shills and toby fox threads.
>>726532618I would take a look at a game with this in the capsule art>>726531415I would scroll past a game with this capsule art without a second thought
>>726533369I never said they're selling millions of copies but they are being spammed to the point of clogging up algorithms like steam and itch.io
>>726532618It sounds to me more like you're suffering from some other bullshit that has nothing to do with AI. Go see a therapist man, fuck.
>>726533581So... you admit that they're basically a bunch of spammed slop that doesn't sell anything, and you want to... join them?
>>726533015You're leavin out someone real important in your creative process as far as worryin who cares about it. You, motherfucker. Anything you do as far as art goes should be for you. Because you find it fun. And you make art because you were inspired by others, because if they never did their art, you wouldn't have wanted to make yours. My point being that when it comes to art, inspiring others is even more important than creating, there's that ripple effect of other people wanting to make stuff, too.When a computer does it, there's no inspiration, it's just "well that's what the computer spat out". And when you take out the process, I think people are put off by how opaque it becomes and don't feel like trying. And it's so important to, because there's been artists who put out their shitty work for the world to see, and it's only because they did so that they become better artists when others help them out and give advice. Those people usually go on to succeed because other people know that they exist. If you don't speak up and you don't do it because you find it fun, you'll find yourself in a vacuum and it's easy to feel like it's pointless.
Does this cutscene work better as:>a series of static images: https://litter.catbox.moe/lpx5w5.webmor>animated sprites: https://litter.catbox.moe/z1yh8w.webm?(try to ignore the ugly temporary art btw)
>>726533642I'm not making a game using AI art, no. But I think the sheer number of games being pumped out regularly with the help of AI will make mine impossible for anyone to find.>>726533740I'd love to keep doing art as a hobby. The idea of ever trying to live off of my art is a fantasy. I should just make games for myself and never sell them. Then I can go be a wage slave forever.
>>726534134>But I think the sheer number of games being pumped out regularly with the help of AI will make mine impossible for anyone to find.I don't know how to make it clear to you but you were never going to make your game successful through that queue in the first place. You have to market your game to actual people to begin with.
>>726534049keep the style, it's unique
>>726534769Well, I originally wanted my artist to just recreate the static images, but in a much nicer looking style. But she decided to make those animations instead. And at first, I was kinda opposed, but now they're starting to grow on me (she sent me some updated versions with color and better lining and whatnot, and it looks REALLY good). The problem is, I don't think I want EVERY cutscene to be like that. Not only would the code be a pain, but it'd also be insanely expensive (I don't exactly have an infinite budget).I was thinking of using her fancy animated style for some of the really important cutscenes, but sticking with the static images for the rest. It's in an entirely different league, but Bayonetta does something similar.
>>726413527maids be maidin
>>726535167i like the animations, since they're already there, just go with it for now. I agree, use the animations for important cutscenes. Another idea: use static imaged, but spice it up by nimating only important elements.
>>726532618this is better, it unironically has soul
>>726534049I would say refine the most important keyframe of the animatic, use that for the still image style cutscene.Then, as the end of the project is approaching, one of the first things I would do before release is polish and implement the animated variant of the cutscene.
>>726532884>>726533309>>726533575>>726535612i was trying to prove a point, not fish for compliments, but i really appreciate these...This gives me hope
>>726535557
this threads lacks goblins. Where's the anon with the 3D green ones? I liked those>>726535557hey! you should try putting the camera on third-person while doing the arrows/moe minigame, maybe showing the maid changing poses as the player presses the arrows.
>>726530173are the horizontal stripes on the road to sell the sense of speed or what?
working on cutscenes
Tried cooldowns and timing stuff but it felt off and changed the gameplay flow. Felt buggy doing attacks and not having the same effect too. Tried this method of having the redirected attack be stronger than others so if you deflect an attack it goes through all spam attacks. It works okayish. Thinking about having a perfect parry system for this too, normal parry just dissipates it, perfect reflects it.
>>726535557>Malkheh
>>726536741your game looks so good, it's making the rest of us look bad.
>>726532618You need to look at your monitor or something, all of your colors are washed out
>>726536543Whats with the jiggle physics? Don't get me wrong, I like them, but it feels weird looking at something that feels very PG and seeing the womens boobs bounce up and down while they move, it does not match the vibe the rest of this establishes.
>>726536919it wasn't supposed to be that noticeable but i don't feel like going back and changing it at this point. the other girl character doesn't have it like that.
>>726536036Hopefully working on their game and avoiding this dumpster fire of a place.
>>726537545>theirಠ_ಠ
>>726537545yeah hope so, game looked cool
>>726531324using it ironically only raises awareness, you are helping my cause so thank you.
>>726538624visuals are cool, kinda reminds me of jumping flash. is that what you're going for?
>>726538624your own engine?
>>726538878I just wanted something simple and haven't figured out how to do shadows yet.>>726539420Yes, about 3000 lines of C++
>>726536863Speak for yourself.
>>726533581So just perish
>mfw I ruin a dev's reputation by spamming porn of their characters on socials before their game even comes out so their game is associated more with porn than with them.
>>726539662that's cool are you using opengl or something else?
>>726511327I have said this so many times it feels good to see someone else post it.
>>726542978DirectX 11
>>726542661Can you do this for my game please?
>>726543946You don't have a game
>>726542661that's a good thing though
>>726531837holy shit, I was thinking about this game this weekI'm glad it's still coming along, I enjoyed your level diagrams you posted like a year ago
Nobody boughted my game on sale...Zero reviews - taunting me in shame...
>>726536036your game looks cool but i despise low poly with high rendering resolutions, especially if antialiasing is involved. i hope you'll have settings for aliasing and extreme downscaling, i'd like to check it out at like 320x180 blown up to 1080p
>>726547015Yeah but you'll get locked out of the lucrative 9-year olds market.
>>726548806Just a couple days ago, someone bought my game full price, installed it without actually playing, then refunded it. It doesn't have DRM, so they can keep a copy after refunding it. I wonder if that's what they did.
>>726548972>installed it without actually playinghow would you know? steamworks can't track individual installs, only pleytime.
>>726549420Not 100% sure, but if they had played more then the average, the average would have increased. But it didn't, so if they did play, it was a very short time.
>>726549501steamies tend to refund games quite quickly that's normal, it's likely the steamie got filtered early on and refunded itor it was a third worlder whose computer barely works and it couldn't launch your game.
>>726531837Are you taking only non-preexisting design requests or anything?
>>726535557can I play as a futa
>>726548806https://vocaroo.com/174ckLlg0qts
>>726550354Powerful...
>>726548806shouda made a better game that people want to play
Nothing is more terrifying than when the compiler stops compilingThank god I was able to reverse the code that did it, but wow that was scary
>>726553453Use git
>>726554074If only I wasn't retarded and lazy
>>726530173dope
So I found a youtubist with 1.2k subs and he seems to have an sort of audience. He doesn't review indie games but I'm not sure if that's on principle or he just hasn't gotten around to it yet.Should I send him of the Steme key for my game? Full disclosure my game flopped and nobody boughted it on release
>>726413527I've made the room transition field's transparency be based on the proximity of the player, so now getting close to it, it will be obvious when there is a door that can be gone into, without having to put a dent in the wall.I know that maybe I should have some sideways doors protruding from the wall, and maybe I do that too, but what if doors are closed for some reason for the time being? There are also positions where the street ends abruptly, and this will help players get a feel of where the end of a level is.
>>726525230this is somehow even more depressing.
I'm so bad at doing visual assets and making menus look good, I always get demoralized when I have to do it.
>>726555945You are a bastard bitch you know that?
>>726555450There are probably a billion youtubers who specialize in shitty niche games who constantly beg indie devs for keys and you picked a random dude who doesn't do indie games?
>>726556969>There are probably a billion youtubers who specialize in shitty niche games I can't find them. Can you name them? At least one.>who constantly beg indie devs for keysThose are scammers looking to resell your keys, they're not youtubers.
I'm not afraid of failure, I fail all the timeBut success? That's truly scary. Crawling out of my comfortable anonymity and becoming somebody. I wonder, will it motivate me even more or will it cause me to retreat?
>>726557253Sure, I don't know why I'm doing your legwork for you. Literally just youtube search a review of any random new itch.io or steam game and you'll find something.https://www.youtube.com/@bigrathole/videos
>>726557653Spoken like a true nodev retard. There's nothing worse than failing and nobody playing your game.
I don't know how to make music yet.But this is a very barebones prototype currently, I need to work on a lot of things. It's fun though, I just tackle each feature bit by bit.Right now I want to work a little more on the gameplay loop, it's still very barebones but I want to add a few more mechanics, right now enemies don't even interact with the player.
>>726557795I already have a few people playtesting my game, I'm not worried about that. They seem to like it, so I've already succeeded with that.But I'm seriously concerned with it picking up steam and people REALLY enjoying it
>>726555814Good to see this is still being worked on. I like the setting and the NPC dialogues, but the combat put me off when I played it.
>>726557793I'm not generally the audience for such youtubers so I'm not aware of how they go about calling their videos and shit. I can do my own research but I would know where exactly to start. Thankfully you are not a bastard bitch and actually gave me something to work with.
>>726557861I like the art direction and the mc is cute
>>726413527What's the best rpg maker version?
Hahaha YES successA good night's sleep is the best debuggerI spent hours on this new feature last night and I was so lost in the sauce that nothing I did was working and my solutions were just breaking shit even moreI woke up, took another look and noticed something obvious I was overlooking, which indeed was the source of all my issuesFeels good man
>>726557861assuming it's a placeholder but the mc reminds me of pic related from wariowarethe way they move is funny as fuck
>>726559625I think these dudes were originally from the old Game and Watch games? It's that same style at least
>>726559010>>726559625Thanks, I just quickly drawn it, a little bit inspired by the shop keeper from wario land 4, but it was just a quick placeholder I made to test out animations. (pic related)Now I think I want to keep a similar look because it's grown on me, but I will probably increase the resolution and give it some kind of contrast, maybe a thin white edge so he doesn't blend in with the background.
>>726536139yeah,
>>726413527I want to make an FPS with FTEQW but there's almost no good (and especially modern) resources to learn fromIt's so over
>>726560692You have to know Quake engine inside out if you want to use that...
>>726494485cont.didn't like how enemy death animations would clip into walls, so i added a ragdoll/gib mode for when the animation doesn't have enough room to play
>>726542661I have no characters
>>726547686Just a mockup I’m sorry to say, but I want to build up to the game being real. Part of that is practicing my sprite work cause this game is gonna have some very large assets like a trawler boat and so on.>>726550121Yeah, I’d prefer something not based on an existing property. Just throw something at me and I’ll see if can handle it. A horse, a car, a tree, a monster, a character, etc.
>>726550229>dick get milk and cream on it>whoops!!
Creating a game with a friend. I'm in charge of art but I'm bad at art. Trying to go for a low poly pixelated look (original, I know) but I don't like how photo textures look when downscaled so I'm handmaking everything in aseprite. Should I keep learning pixel art or just use photo textures? Character model is placeholder so ignore that.
>>726494485>>726561104I played it on a linux toaster, it was nice.Though I found aiming to feel a little ambiguous, it's not very clear where exactly the gun is aiming.And I took way too long to figure out how to open the inventory, I didn't see any explanation anywhere so I was just pressing all the keys.
>>726555814it looks like a decent solution>I know that maybe I should have some sideways doors protruding from the wall, and maybe I do that too, but what if doors are closed for some reason for the time being?they'd probably open inward so it doesn't really matter. you could have protruding door frames though, just a pixel or two in width, or residences could have doormats / plants out front, or just discolouration on the ground showing where traffic is concentrated.
>>726562445hey thanks!i'm thinking of approaching items/guns like you would in a diablo/arpg settingas in, the base gun doesn't have a red-dot optic, but a killed enemy will drop a Shotgun-with-optic or Shotgun with Expended Mag, or they drop the attachment itself which you can add to a gun. i think itemization like that would be fun. id like to have that and accuracy of a weapon be a stat, like some guns just rolled better grouping, etc.it's still up in the air, i'm devving this on a what i find to be fun at the moment basis
>>726561830What was your workflow with photo textures? You could just try different palettes out, tracing them, etc.
how to fix this?
>>726564558stop using your toaster LED to make games
>>726564558Getting a bigger monitor I guess?
Hey guys, would love some feedback.
>>726555450cut your losses. no game ever launches as a flop and then later becomes a success. you're wasting your time. if you're extremely in love with the concept then make a bigger and better sequel but only if you're confident that you know what you did wrong the first time around. the fact that you're worried about ADVERTISING tells me you DON'T know what went wrong. the problem is never that nobody saw your game. it's always that the people who did see your game didn't like what they saw.
>>726565356looks like you're tweaking movement mechanics. shouldn't you be making content? I thought you were close to release.
>>726555450>>726565359p.s. oh and of course I don't mean a sequel as in re-using the name. don't, absolutely don't, reuse the name of a flopped game. the name is burned.
>>726565356looks nice.
>>726565480I recently got some cash so I'm delaying a bit to tune things a little.
>>726548846yeah there's a resolution scale option, and you can disable AA as well. I might add some filters later on, but optional. webm made the downscaling looks like shit tho, but it's better in game>>726565356not a fan of the camera effect when boosting forward but the rest looks super cool
>>726565359>the fact that you're worried about ADVERTISING tells me you DON'T know what went wrong.If no one played the game how is the dev supposed to tell what went wrong? You need enough players to be able to notice the problems with your game by observing player behaviour because gamers are incapable of articulating their critiques, by and large.
>>726536919>>726536995There's no jiggle at all? The milktruck girl on the left has boltons while the girl on the right has them slightly moving but extremely difficult to notice.In my opinion (and as much as it hurts for me to say) I'd say reduce the breast size if you're going for a genuine children's game approach.What I'd strongly suggest otherwise, whether you keep the breast physics or not is to speed up their "bounce" when they talk and reduce its magnitude. As it is they bounce pretty slow and it's very annoying especially when they speak short sentences.
>>726530173this is really cool. sir, can I please join this project?
>>726565770Always wondered if anyone actually uses DS sliders.
>>726566113>DS slidersDS?
>>726565359>the problem is never that nobody saw your game. it's always that the people who did see your game didn't like what they saw.Tell me. Do you have a game on Steam? Or itch.io?
>>726565356I think it would make more sense for the camera to pull out when you boost forward, not zoom in. Zooming out makes it feel like it's going so fast the camera has to catch up with it.
>>726565356that looks dope
>>726565770That shield bash is really good
Which engine should i learn ?I want to make a old gen armored core style mech gameI can draw and model but no experience in coding
>>726566884thanks anon, took a while to tune the animation so it had enough weight. I'm thinking of making it so you can hold down the button to do a more powerful one, but I'm leaving that for later
>>726567093probably just unity
>>726567093yeah I was going to recommend Godot but I can imagine IK stuff being important in a robot game. If that's the case go with Unity. If you don't care about that and want to start with the simplest engine, check out Godot.There's an anon making a mecha game in agdg, maybe try and ask there
>>726567148can i get a pic of the red demon? i saw it on /3/ but lost it
>>726567381>red demona goblin? sure. I haven't made any demons yet
>>726413527E33 is made with an engine on your little indie list here
>>726561603I feel like I'm taking advantage of you by asking for anything too specific kek, how about seeing how you deal with a Christmas tree? You could probably use it somewhere in your game eventually as a seasonal easter-egg or something
>>726567746like most games nowadays yeah
>>726567093>UB-157mah nigga
I made a rain effect with droplets that only use every second pixel so they don't obscure gameplay. I would post a webm but it would be too big and the game doesn't look good downscaled, because the universe conspires to make my game unmarketable. Apparently they also dropped fullscreen support in windows 11 so fuck me I guess.
>>726567093unity but learn programming first
>>726569362I played this game, but I couldn't get very far because I never figured out where the jump button was. Could you put a tutorial next time? Also maybe an option to tone down the special effects.
>>726567836Okey dokey, Christmas tree it is. Next thread that pops up, whenever that is, I’ll post it there.
>>726569665Yeah, I'm in the middle of making things easier to understand and reducing jank, and after that I want to add a festival intro where you can walk around and play carnival games to get used to the controls. It seems to take people only half an hour to get used to it now, which is still terrible.I guess I could add an option to remove non-gameplay visuals but the game's pretty chaotic in general.
>>726570713Good luck.
>>726413527OY VEY HOW DO YOU DARE TELL OTHER ANONS TO PLAY AND MAKE THEIR OWN GAMES!!!
>>726565770Oof that scaling looks bad.
