Demo Day 66 submissions begin in less than 24 hours, are we all ready?
Yes. been cookin up a pretty robust demo
>>729815894no idea what's going on here. too much screen shake and particle effects.
This is like the fifth thread you made in a row. Go away, you retard grifter.
Demo day? You mean that /agdg/ thing? Why are you posting this here instead of /agdg/?
>>729815894Indieslop has been a disaster for the medium and we will still be reeling with its consequences for years to come.
>>729815894If you were going for brainrot, you did a good job.
>>729815994I know. the webm compression makes it worse,Here's the full trailer:https://streamable.com/tv584v>>729816175>>729816473I thought'd it be fun making a Kirby's Dream Course meets Rocket Sword (only real aggys know) type of game. It's definitely dopa slop but it's not even my main project (webm related)
What can I use instead of a spell book in a futuristic setting? I was going to have each page be its own spell and when you switch between spells you flip the page. The problem is, I kind of hate fantasy that isn't extremely arcade-like. I want to take this concept and put it into a futuristic setting, but I don't know what weapon I'd use.

I put out a big ass update for Bingo Betty's Demo, And also added Mac support!https://store.steampowered.com/app/4045170/Bingo_Betty/I had a Redditor Reach out and do this art for me, so that was pretty fuckin cool to get my first ever piece of fan art.Play my demo!
>>729817773Fine, but only because you put in the extra effort to get it on Steam. Most people just dump it on itch and call it a day. Sad!
>>729817576usb drives that plug into some sort of wand or spell-casting device.
>>729817924>yes steamatoid, pay me $100 to put up your free demo when your game won't even make back the listing fee because we shadowbanned it
>>729818061>shadowbannedMeds schizo
>>729818887>he doesn't knowOh you sweet little summer steamatoid...
I want to add some background elements to this level, so it isn't just solid blue. But I'm worried adding anything would make it harder to see what's happening. I thought about clouds, but they would have to be the same color as the bullets. Any other ideas?
>>729818061>shadowbannedIronically this is more of an itchio thing. Every other day someone is complaining in the itchio forums that their game won’t get listed or indexed in the search after months of being in queue.
>>729818951Gaben wouldn’t do this… right?
>>729818061I can't wait for legislation to catch up to this shit and ban all storefronts from tying games you buy on them to their shitty as store forever.
>>729817332Rocket Sword was based. Made me respect the dev, then he went on to make YOMI Hustle/Your Only Move is Hustle and Evil Egg.
>>729819162Of course he wouldn't! He's our best friend!
>>729818061>did no marketing and sold nothingKWAB
>>729818959Could always outline enemies and their projectiles if clutter becomes an issueSolid palettes should stop that from turning into one though
>>729818959you can make it anything you want as long as it doesn't go heavy on red, green, peach/yellowish, or white.choose some complimentary colors and fill up the background with things using those colors. this way, the fairy and imps will still stand out and it wont be as boring as solid blue or clouds.
happy new year to /v/ devs. hope its a good year for everyone, even the crabs and haters.
>>729816103this is an agdg thread. You can tell by retarded posts such as >>729818061
>>729820825It doesn't have to be, if you just ignore small penis green lizard guy and other shitposters. like the one you gave attention to.
>>729821112>small penis green lizard guyDragon Kahn? That game looks sick.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H6EG2IVJ7E
>>729819784The imps don't really look right with outlines IMO.>>729820050This is kind of like what I originally had in mind, but yeah I guess it is kinda boring. But since the level takes place in the sky, what else would make sense?
>>729821503Definitely makes them look blobby but if you are going for visibility it should be a bright outline not darker
>>729821503
>>729821503another alternative
so my game has games inside of my game, for the games that have their own levels and aren't arcadey, which is better?1:>when the player starts the game, they start over from level 1, only thing that carries over are coins2:>player starts in a hub world, and can start from any level that they unlockedI only have two games that are like this, the rest are 100% arcadey so they don't need any real progression saved outside of hi-scores.
>>729822108what are coins and how long are those 2 non-arcadey games?
>>729821503put a crt filter on it it will look better
>>729815894>>729817332Too fast, I hate it
>>729821503not sure about this one but, point is, anything but a plain blue background
>>729822236>what are coinsyou can buy health potions or get new spells at the shop that loads in each level of the dungeon crawler>how long are those 2 non-arcadey games?one's 30 levels, they're short and are a shameless ripoff of a game called high hell. this one has no coins, but it has an elevator that'll take you from earlier levels to later levels.already decided on that set up a while agosecond one is 12 levels, kings field type dungeon crawler game. its 4 zones that are 3 levels long each, you unlock zones by beating the previous oneI'm kind of thinking about doing the hub, since its inspired from Kings Field, so I might turn the hub into a demon's souls reference.Might also drop the coins, since I have cauldrons that can change spells based on what you put inside of them. In that case, I'll make health potions more common.
>>729814673Gonna be submitting for the first time tomorrowI am prepared
Why is getting feedback so goddamn hardSo many people just play the game in silent isolation and dipDid they like it? Did they hate it? Did they not care at all? I have all these questions and no answers.
>>729822108So its like a minigame you can play at an arcade machine or something?Entirely depends on if the player is expected to actually finish the gamesIf its just a meaningless time waster who cares
>>729822379why did you post this
>>729824691your game's probably shit anon, otherwise people would want to be your friend
>>729824775Integrate feedback into the game or watch them play it I guess
>>729824836>>729824691
just fixed some bugs.
>>729824775yeah, most of them are in-game, meaning when you walk around there's either a mini-game or an arcade cabinetthen a few of them are their own levels/areas, separate from the main game. there's a game console at the player's apartment and interacting with that is how you enter those games.
hungover from newyears party. tomorrow i will cut a massive amount of corners to upload something. heppy newyear people
>>729817332do you have a screen shake fetish?
>>729827367do you have a game?
>3 dev threads in a row>autism, shit flinging >1 or 2 people trying to take it seriously. This is why no one comes here anymore. Or posts monthly.
>>729828052it's just aggyfags craving for attention
2025 progress
>>729827685Not being able to handle criticism bodes well.
Make a backup of your game.
>>729828558Not being able to post your game bodes well.
>>729829086>I won't accept criticism unless you post your own gameYou weren't ever going to get far anyway.
>>729829868anon, I'm not the dev of that game. But keep not posting your game, this is an agdg thread after all
>use godot 3d>hmm I want some reflective water, should be simple>ssr is garbage>okay I'll just make a mirror with a second camera like they did in older games>notice that fragments under the plane get reflected as well>google wtf to do>replies: um, just don't have stuff clipping in water?>not a real answer because stuff should be able to enter water>apparently other engines let you adjust the camera clipping plane to solve this>godot doesn't (of course)>will probably have to make some janky complicated setup with subviewports and stencilsgod damn it godot
>>729829951please don't bully the nodevs, they are fragile since their HRT isn't going so well
