how's it going?
>>736927557I did some thinking today didn't write any of it down so it's gone now
>>736927557still waiting someone to steal my game idea so I can play it for real
>>7369279422/2
>>736927557working on this demon fella. It's the first boss I make so it's going to take a while, probably.
my highest priority task at the moment is to implement jiggle physics I'll post a progress update in one of these threads eventually
I've been developing for 2 years and don't have a title screen, settings, death screen, or any final art assets. Features and gameplay only.
>>736928298good luck with those jiggles anon
>try to 3d model>make over 10 vertices>it's hard to breathe and body tenses upit's over, my ADHD brain is working against me
Working on a total war clone. Custom engine and all. /v/ says devs should write their own engines yet it's fairly difficult, would not recommend for most devs.
In a yet non-existant game about scientists vs wizards would you rather play as scientists going from sciency locations towards wizardly locations or wizards doing the opposite?
I hate my life I want to kill myself I hate my wageslave job I'm tired of wageslaving I want to quit my job and work full-time on my game My game sucks I hate my game Nobody likes my game I haven't worked on my game in weeks I have zero faith in my game or my art or my programming I have zero faith in myself Nobody has faith in me Nobody likes me I hate everyone I hate everything I want to kill everyone I want to destroy everything in this world and then myself
>>736928894>try to 3d model>just need a basic zombie or whatever to have something to look at while inengine>make some sort of fat guy abomination insteadNot a single artistic bone in my body
>>736929024It's like building your own house. Really impressive if you pull it off but most people give up pretty early. No problems with Godot here. Does everything I need and I have the source code if I want to tweak anything else.
>>736929221>vertex shadingmy knees are bending on their own
>>736929221use references man. Grab some turnaround from the internet and put it on Blender, then model on top of that using the orthographic perspective
>>736929124ok
The only game I want to make is a Harvest Moon/Zelda hybrid.But once I get about halfway through mechanical aspects and start working on some form of early content (like a dungeon), I crash.I really should pick one or the other instead at the very least. SAVE ME SCOPE MAN.
>>736928658Same, my character can't die but I never get hit anyway in my progress videos because I don't want to look like a bad gamer.
>>736929417>Harvest Moon/Zelda hybridso rune factory...?
>>736929343Uhhh it's basic blender smooth shading option anon...
>>736929354but it's cheating
I reworked some old assets into a dark ice dragon girl and now I've scopecrept again into having more corrupted element dragon girls. Still trying to think of the general theme for the Earth one:>gem stones that tempt the enemy with riches>poison and decay, since Earth already has plants>oil and fossils with a necromancy vibe>>736929027Wizards are the better opponents since they can always surprise you with something totally crazy.
>>736929354I have that planned
>>736929520Yeah but 2D with bad but hopefully endearing pixel art and no waifus to bring into dungeons because I can't program that shit.
>>736929027Scientists because it makes a nice level progression from normal labs to wacky environments (like half life!)
>>736929568nah man, it's the way to go>>736929629nice! good luck then
>>736927806Literally this.
>>736929568That's literally what professionals do. Almost no one just models from nothing. Even people who draw put down a circle first to draw on top of for the head. He isn't saying to copy it. He is saying to use it as a reference for scaling.
>>736929881From one day to another I lost all creativity. Idk what to do.
>>736927557Trying not to project hop.Going to see if writing the concept + associated design stuff down will soothe the draw of it.If you're curious (I know you aren't) I had a cool idea for a VR horror PvZ style tower defense game.
>>736930204take a rest and don't try overdoing things. Creativity comes and goes, some days I stay until 3AM, other days I do fuck all
>>736929221I recommend that you find a low poly character modelling tutorial. If you ever want to animate the character, the topology around the joints has to be done right to avoid distortions
>>736928298Are you using Godot? I think they have a native jigglebone implementation .
>>736930506I just didn't connect limbs to the body, it's easier to animate and potentially explode into pieces I guess.
>>736930705joints include things like knees and elbows too, anon....
>>736930481It's now 8 months. I tried to see women, go out, don't go out, visit Japan, it's gone. I would've never thought it possible. Tried to Dj, to write prose, shit post online, don't go online, binge game, binge drink, lift and eat healthy. Nothing works. I just don't have any ideas anymore. Like none at all. >take a restGood advice and I'm certain I would've said the same back then.
>>736930787I'll bullshit my way out of this somehow
>>736930705you can explode armatures in Godot and it's no problem if the bones are connected to each other. What you have to keep separated are the mesh pieces ofc>I just don't have any ideas anymoredo you mean original ideas? I don't have a lot of those but that's not stopping me. Why not just think of two games you really like and mix them together?
>>736930841see >>736931102
>>736931102No ideas guy is not me.I have plenty, just no art skills.
>>736931198i dont got art skills either, that doesnt stop me
So if someone dosen't make a thread all of you losers just stop posting your so precious progress for some validation?U are a joke
>>736931280there's been a lot of seething at gamedevs as of late. Why are you so butthurt anon?
>>736927995>>736927942Best I can do is one big building and 3 npcs
>>736927557Nothing too huge since last time, but I got Lady Lordosis and Kalchas into the project, and I got the abilities system to work (not shown in the video since it just looks like attacking with an extra menu right now). I also noticed that all of my characters have their butts out.
>>736931416I also started working on the inventory system so the player can customize their chakra loadouts. Nora has two heart chakras in her boobies, being a healer and all.
>>736927557I've been on a detective and crime stuff binge and now I just want to jump completely to that sort of game. So far I've held my ground and just put those ideas on a document while grinding on the current project. Surprised how few games there seem to be currently that are mainly about interrogating the suspects and witnesses.>>736928168already aurafarming
>>736929221Why not just download one of the gorillion free models and modify that?
ive been pretty busy yeah. im working on a side project right now to make better NPC behavors, and right now Im making a pretty complex states machine for it, called stacked state machine or pushdown automata.ill probably have a webm for it in a week or two at the rate im going lol.
>>736927942>>736927995Just say "its' like watchdogs and cyberpunk". Obfuscating your inspirations with word salad is disrespectful to the reader's time.
>>736931492I already have a project with stolen models, I need to make something of my own eventually
working for AAA one of the testers was so demoralized by the slop he has to test he was slacking by playing solitaire
>>736927557I've been working on an RPG and I was at a good pace with it about a month ago, but I've really slowed down, disappointingly. I'm kind of unsure where to go with it because when i was working at a good pace it was when I was doing the combat system, but now I feel like I should either move on to something new - though I'm not sure what, or go back and re-work some parts of the systems adjacent to the combat system now that it's done, which would be kind of annoying. It's so much easier to set a task for yourself for a day when you're just working on one system and the steps to seeing it complete are more tangible.
>>736931572Just modify what you got to look like it was made by you lol
>>736931674You need to make a playable demo with what you've got right now.
>>736931280You are an ESL that uses "u" in place of "you". I laugh at you.
>>736931416>>736931467nice stylized proportions. very well balanced
fucking around with post-process shaders for the main collectable
earth double jumping
>>736932784dope
>>736932452crazy shit, I love it. For some reason STALKER and it's anomalies came to mind while watching the webm lol
fire double jumping>>736932821thanks
>>736932017I think it's a long way off of being in that state, but maybe it'd be a good idea to focus on that as a kind of mid-term goal. It's intimidating to think of the whole game.
water double jumpingkinda creates a minefield in the air too
>>736932452This definitely needs a warning label for epilepsy lmao. Looks kino.
>>736927557I'm having a hard time creating boundaries/skyboxes for my game that stretch outwards and not end abruptly
>>736932452>>736933108forgot to add: some kind of audio filter that fucks up the music as well would be really cool imo
>>736933108thank you. >>736933248really? i already turned it down a lot>>736933336i agree
>>736927557Fine. Just fine. Wasted a week in job interviews while I could've been working on the game. I've reworked the lighting and I think it's looking nice. Much better to look at than before. It's actually my first time posting real stuff from the game itself, besides an artwork and a couple of tracks in the latest devlog at https://multimaniacsteam.github.io/Kinda scared of showing stuff before it's ready, not because of criticism but because of people stealing stuff and AI bullshit going on.
>>736933848Flashing lights in any context deserves the warning label in vidya games for epilepsy things thoughbeit.
>>736927557Pretty good. I've released two sucessful indie games with full dynamic lighting and I'm close to finishing the third.
>>736933936i'll take note of this. thanks for the headsup
>>736934074No worries just think of the Porygon banned Pokémon episode whenever you design shit; If its repetitive flashing bright lights that can cause epilepsy just put a warning label on it otherwise its all good.
>>736933848>really? i already turned it down a lotIt's not that bad, definitely compared to actual epilepsy including shit japs used to do
>>736927557Working with C+Vulkan.I got done implementing the basics of gravity, friction, and collisions.
elemental evasion Fixed and added a bunch of stuff. Added animation canceling to all the moves so hopefully it doesn't feel as sluggish as beforehttps://dead-imagination.itch.io/dance-of-elementslooking for feedback if anyone has the time
>>736934146oh so it's less about it flashing and more about it flashing AND being repetitive like a strobe. i see>>736934147i agree, but i rather have my ass covered by adding a thing to the steam-page that says "epileptics begone" instead of getting sued
>>736931102Like any ideas at all, not talking original ideas. I had plenty a day, now 0.>mix two gamesI wouldn't be able to choose two. I'd choose the last two I played. Some doc suggested a terrible illness, still waiting for results.
>>736932170I lagh at yo tu
>>736931475Watched post mortem yesterday, still life today. Pm has a very good atmosphere, but wonky characters.
Looking at Indie games that have been successful, they all seem to have some level game loop extension that makes them longer / bigger than their base content would allow. For example crafting or roguelike mechanics that can recycle the same settings / assets with a twist to extend the gameplay beyond the bottleneck of indie dev asset pipeline. Or systemic / procedural games that sort of go on forever.Stardew Valley, Terraria, Minecraft, Binding of Isaac, Rimworld, Factorio, Valheim... none of the big success stories in the indie space seem to be single player linear games. Even the big story-based successes like Undertale are filled with so much choice and variation that they are designed for replay-ability beyond just trying different builds.Do you guys think there is something to the economy of certain gameplay systems that make them optimized for indie devs who cannot churn out the sheer content required for a typical 12 hour linear single player game? Do you think these systems are a necessity for indie success? You don't see anyone really breaking out with a linear action platformer or a narrative based linear FPS shooter.
>>736934479For sure, better that than defense of "but anon said it's fine"
>>736935017for the game of the year edition boxart quote."seizurific" - anon
>>736927557add ebiten to the list
>>736934917Cuphead? Basically every metroidvania (but hollow knight to name one)? A hat in time? Shovel knight?
I've been stuck on level design for 8 months.I literally do not even have a playable demonstrative level yet.I am going insane remodeling walls and doors tens of times.All this time I've been coping that it's going to "click" within the next 2 weeks. But if I keep this up the project's going to die. Everyone else makes it look effortless.
>>736934917There's a lot of generalization here. First of all, recycling content isn't exclusive to non-linear or multiplayer games. Indeed, I think recycling content is vital to have a healthy game dev loop. Not only you're optimizing in performance and size, but also in time and skills. It's also much MUCH more useful if you're monodev and the artist. You definitely don't need to have hundreds of tiles just for some platforms when nobody is going to even notice that. Trust me, people don't give a single fuck about it unless they're in bad faith or it's fairly obvious. Shit, you have games like Undertale when you have some tiles of the lowest effort ever put into a tileset but nobody cares. If anything, it adds to the charm. I think it's the same thing wrt gameplay, I mean, unless you're making a CRPG...?
>>736935131"this is what epilepsy looks like.", "epilepsy walking simulator GotY."
How does Godot handle skyboxes?
>>736935674>>736935131casuals can't even handle a little rapid flashing. fucking normies
>>736929124DENYYou are in control of your destiny
>>736935391Lol anon I'm there with you. I think I've now used the same amount of time on the level design than the entire project took before that.
>>736935674lol>>736935740epileptic shock? skill issue!
>>736935740I do enjoy my LSD-Epilepsy simulators thougheit.
>>736934917Because small teams can’t pump out graphical assets, they rely on maths based gameplay instead of visual spectacle. Use your brain ffs.
>>736936010Ding ding ding. My current project uses semi-random level design cause I can't be fucked to design the levels from scratch, makes devving much easier.
>>736936010lol sounds like an issue regarding ineptitude. XCom original was done by two people (art and music.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX0Cm3N_n6k
I spent a lot of time getting my debugger working, which will be well worth it whenever I have to chase a tricky segfault or the like. I added a new enemy, a siege engineer. They will prefer to work on an existing weapon, but if none exists they will place and try to build one, and then operate it. If it's destroyed, they'll flee and try again after some time. More engineers working on a siege weapon = faster build time and faster fire rate. My code for handling different enemy behaviors is a total mess, and definitely needs to be refactored though.>>736932452>>736933108This, it's very stalker-esque. Looks really cool with how crazy it gets and how things resolve when you collect it.>>736934469SIIIIIIICKI feel like it plays pretty well. I didn't have a ton of time to really dig into all the different elements and stuff, but I did have fun kicking the crap out of the computer. It did feel pretty easy to stunlock them with quick attacks but I'm sure another human would be able to respond a bit better.>>736934223Very neat, are you building towards something in particular or just getting something general working?
>>736936185thanks man. i guess i need to look at stalker. is the siege the thing that gets made in the topright?
>>736936145Exception that proves the rule
While debugging multiplayer, I made this cool render.>>736931416>>736931467I remember these. Good to see you still working on them.
"NODEVS could be here," he thought. "I've never been in this part of 4chan before. There could be NODEVS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his Unity license. "I HATE NODEVS," he thought. EDM reverberated through his gamedev PC, making it pulsate even as the energy drinks circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) frustration with people who talk about their ‘dream game’ but have never watched a single tutorial. "With a game engine, you can make anything you want," he said to himself, out loud.
Recently re-read The Art of Game Design for the first time in a decade or two and realized how culpable that book is in the shit state of modern games. Imagine designing a game to cater to the exact current tastes of a target demographic rather than trying to build something that you actually want to build.Anyways I got my modernized immediate presentation swap chain working in my MonoGame fork so I'm doing well. Back to the D3D11 mines as I round out my tonemapper and move my color grading into OKLCH
>>736935282Those are some good examples, thanks. Can't believe Hat in Time made $60MM!>>736935494Yeah definitely a generalization, there's always exceptions to the rule. Sometimes the games I want to make seem like dead-ends because I'm not interested in roguelike mechanics or crafting or procedural generation. So if I spend years making a 10 hour singe player game it feels like I'll be doomed.>>736936010I think it's beyond assets, I think the typical modern gamer expects an elevated amount of gameplay time and content that is really difficult to achieve for a solo dev without using some math based gameplay to get around content bottlenecks. Which then prioritizes indie game devs on certain genres and gameplay loops.
>>736937793It's a vicious loop, gamers expect more hours because modern gaming is so predatory that it keeps skimming for more money every turn. Like low nutrition food, people keep eating more because they're malnourished.

I added multiplayer to bingo betty! It has 1v1s, custom games, and tournaments for up to 64 players! It also has ranked matchmaking with a ranked prrogression! You can even host private tournaments for you and your friends!It's an entirely separate gameplay scheme that is basically like playing MTG or Yugioh, but you need to place your balls in the lines to actually get the effect out of them! Then you have a bunch of other shit that augments that so you can have burn, ramp, control, mill, you name it! or you can just unga bunga fill your deck with attack line balls and call it a day!It also has an entirely new progression system that is tracked separately from SP, where you can level up from 1-100 with XP, reincarnate up to 10 times to reset your XP to 1. It also has customizable loadouts that unlock more shit for you to use in them as you progress through levels!There are also a ton of customizable cosmetics that you unlock throughout your carreer in MP to style on your opponents! Every cosmetic is tied to a specific challenge so if you see someone with "Bingo God" you're fucked!I have also updated single player to reveal that betty has been in HELL this whole time!!! Battle against the demons and even some angels may come to test your strength! Features a cool mindbreaking sequence where it goes from 2D to 3D. I want to post webms for you guys but i can't seem to encode one that doesn't look like shit and conveys what i want to showTry it in the demo here! Make a lobby to face your fellow devanons!https://store.steampowered.com/app/4045170/Bingo_Betty/
been doing music and inventory stuff, not really worth showing offhowever, i (finally) implemented goblin-dev's suggestion of having particle emitters attached to multiple gibs, so they emit blood as they are blasted away from the player it's very good.thanks gobbodev>>736939937i'd play this
It's over for gamedev.
>>736940520I'm making a similar game (assuming this is a twin stick). Admire your shading and lighting. Looking good!
I want to get into Berserk but at the same time I don't because I want to make a dark fantasy game and I don't want to accidentally rip it off.
>>736940649mine'll be more akin to diablo, with a buncha stats, random item drops and modifiers and all thattry as i might i can't escape the loot autism
>>736940776Ripping off berserk is the least thing I would worry about. It's practically a requirement.
>>736931102Looks great as always, Gobbodev!I'm the guy with the frog character. Been making good progress with just free Claude the last couple of weeks. Thanks again for giving me the push to actually try.Will post one day, once I get all the animations to transition the way I want.PS. Might steal that gibbing
>>736933908This looks like if Pong got a gritty reboot.
>>736936524Yeah, it's supposed to be a catapult, or the best I could manage for my 8x8 sprite size. It throws rocks at the player's town outside of tower range.
>>736940506Idk how some of you manage to get your wembs to actually show what you're trying to show. This looks like absolute garbage compared to in-gameBut here's an "angel boss fight" entrance sequence. I made it to where a demon spawns in and you have a chance of encountering an angel instead, which are harder
>>736941572dope
>>736941830Well in this case the static is fucking things up lol if you understand what bitrate isToo much moving stuff = badAlso the limit is 4mb so you have a bit more room
>>736941572Ooops, forgot I scale by 4x. Let me try that again.
>>736940776The only way to accidentally rip off Bersek is if you don't know about it. It's better to study so you know what you like similar to it and what you'd do differently. That and Berserk itself is a mix of things Miura was inspired by, it's how this works.
>>736941927doper
>>736941923The entire GAME is moving shit LMAO, the earthbound backgrounds, the static, the particle effects, its like a bitrate murderer met a bitrate arsonist and decided to do the fusion dance
>>736941830>>736941923Oh yeah I should mention too, static fucking up the bitrate will also be a problem for streamers if you care about that, which you probably should, I know vinny vinesauce played your game.
>>736942184I do have a background mode that removes the animations from the backgrounds, plus that TV static effect only ever shows for a couple seconds for boss fights in round 4, so i think it will be okay. Besides I am kind of banking on the content creator / streamer side to enjoy the MP much more than SP.I do think you make a good point though, i'm definitely going to look into having a "streamer mode" option that does shit for both SP and MPMan it was absolutely crazy that vinny played it he's probably the only e-celeb i somewhat respect and care about, ill have to reach out to see if he wants to give the new updates a shot, it's changed a LOT since he played it last.Also managed to find out Leah played it LOL
>>736941830What the fug
>>736940883so just tower of kalemonvo with guns?
>>736927942>>736927995this is unbelievably gay
>>736940506The bounce effect to the score and chain text is too static. Needs more "oomph" to it.
>>736942928a bit.i'm hoping to apply all the lessons i've learned from tok into this and seeing what happensi'm a big arpg fan and since nobody is making the kind of arpgs id like to play, may as well do it myselfideally this one will only take a fraction as long as tok did though.
>>736943106If you are refering to in the trailer, i entirely agree. everything on that steam page is about to get entirely overhauled in the coming weeks, now that i actually have this fuckass huge "secret" update done i can actually shift gears back to marketing spam modeESPECIALLY that trailer i want to make a bombastic ass trailer good enough to get ign to post it on gametrailers

>>736943256Also, I really think you should redesign your capsule art. It looks not so great. You should definitely make something for it that leans more into the high def pixel art you got going on with the character portraits in game, or something that matches the art style for your announcements. I'm sure you've probably thought about this already.
>>736929221>download a skeleton>build your lowpoly character around it>???>profit
It's a horror game now
>>736943440The rock and hard place is that I want to move towards using that announcement art to be the cover art, but this new update made me want to make new capsule art entirely that features the whole "heaven vs hell" thing. I think i'm still going to try and move towards that new art because you're like the 3rd or so person to tell me that in the last week or so, its a sign,I can't get the vision of like the little angel and devil on the shoulder but they're both betty holding balls over her card out of my head, but as seen in original art i can't really draw for shit LMAO at least to make it look not so flat. I did put in a couple waifus/fujobait men so hopefully i can get some "artists" to do some of the imagining for me
>>736943547its a horror game for phones?? who tf is gonna get immersed enough to be scared

wake up covered in sweat, dreamt of goblins yet again. They almost get me this time, but I'm faster, I'm smarter.
Added a bunch of new character idle poses and animations for random NPCs; the last bit of station work before 1.0 launches, basically.

If it's destroyed, they'll flee and try again after some time. More engineers working on a siege weapon = faster build time and faster fire ratethat's clever, adds some variety.

I'll have to fix the AI more so they dodge more, been just working on making them attack right now.
>>736947241Yeah, I agree with this anon. Fuck that noise. I use basic colors to avoid that and I also split my shit up into parts to avoid vertex and bone weights. I am just a lazy schmuck who wants to avoid hard shit though, so don't be like me. Learn the craft.
Development wise fantastic, making the game is no longer the hardest part of gamedev.Selling wise quite poorly. Going to have to hobbydev for another year or 2 before I work out how I and the market align.
i spend like 3x more time playtesting than actually devving

And you play as jerry.(not literally).
>>736940776Don't accidentally rip it offINTENTIONALLY rip it offthat's how all great entertainment is made, just "what if I took these things I liked but made them exactly how I wanted them to be?" and a pinch of "man that thing could have been so good if they didn't fuck it up like that, I have to make that but better"
>>736947723>I think the siege weapon needs to be bigger though to make it more clear it's something you need to go after.That's a good point, especially in later waves it gets lost in the noise. I doubled the scale and changed it so it gets rendered in front of enemies, should do the trick.Honestly the AI felt pretty fun to fight. If that was the enemy logic for a bunch of weaker dudes I think that would be plenty.>>736948516Space mining game?>>736948740>You're Winnerkek, take pride in the fact that your project already looks like more of a game than Big Rigs. That sounds like a fun concept, so you just try to stay alive and get to the end?
>>736949093I guess I could take that mindset but apply it to my vidya as well.I wanted to make a game with a similar tactical feel to bloodborne (I really don't wanna use the term soulslike). But it seems like soulsborne games are sadly a dimeadozen these days. Even if I like them.But I figured... maybe it doesn't have to be just reskined dark souls. Nooo..... I want it to be legit scary. Like on your toes scary. I don't want the bosses to just sit there and wait for you. I Want them to COME to you whenever they feel like it. Also parkour n stuff to run away like scardy pants.>>736949583yeah basically. If you get shot once it's over. Especially since the sniper is tryna aim for the head. But if your body is shot you also die.
>>736932395>>736937458I wasn't planning on posting more in the thread since I'm feeling lazy today, but I didn't want to leave you guys hanging. Thanks for the kind words.Picrel is a sketch of the main city area. There's still much more to add.
>>736949583space mining, but up until now the terrain has been mostly flat. This is my first attempt of having the whole area be rocks in orbit, which has caused the most bugs that I've faced in months. but at least it looks cool
>>736947241> I hate unwrapping> I hate that all my materials that look good on a sphere immediately fuck up how they look on anything with mildly complex geometry> I hate how I think I'm doing good on tri count only to realize I'm about 5k more tris than I expected> I hate how mixamo animations don't stay on the origin> I hate how mixamo armatures don't inherently have a root boneand so on and so forth.

Some more progress, this time it's the first level of the Story Mode. I now have mid-gameplay cutscenes.After I finish setting up this level I'll do the second part of this VN episode and then jump onto other stuff.Keep at it laddies.

i killed another side project to move back to my main project.
>>736952426Oh shit, content.
Can you catch the fabled statuefish?
I'm low IQ barely graduated high school and dropped out of collage after one semester and am 32 years old never programmed a single line of code in my life.How do I make a game?
>>736955869think about your game and make itmake sure the art style is yours.
Been on a slump for a while starting and leaving small projects with no progress.Today I managed to get something going for a project, even if it was just movement. Feels good, lads.
>>736954548The smooth water coupled with the low-res pixel art looks jarring. Use a viewport.
>>736955869All AAA games are made by 74 IQ pajeets now so yes.If they can make game then so can you.
>>736952090>why the FUCK would I use godot...because you don't have to pay them a fucking dime if you earn money from your game?
>>736956382I feel like a pedant when pointing it out so this will be the one and only time but I strongly dislike seeing low res pixel art not aligned to a grid too, and there's quite a few games in those threads that do that.It feels like you're disrespecting the art form but also it really just looks cheap, and it's even worse when the game is seemingly pretending to be retro with consistent pixel sizes all around including the UI but you couldn't get this one extremely important aspect right.
>>736952090>what the FUCK is the point of baking jiggle physicsso that the game doesn't have to calculate all of the jiggle in realtime. Sometimes you got a whole lotta ass
>>736937458You should debug your face, you horrid faggot, I'd have a more pleasant time starind at a clogged toilet than your accuraed mug.

>>736958596is it bad ive been using AI to help my friend with a pet game he has in mind cuz he doesn't know how to code games and i don't care too much for his idea?
>>736959954what kind of pet
>>736959954nope, it's really good for spinning up ideas.also anti-AI push is mostly hate towards generative art, if you AI generate all your code then use human generated art assets no one will give a fuck.
>>736954548i didnt see that nigga til it happened
>>736959997The way he describes it a desktop pet game where Pokemon meets the Cube world toys (if you know what those are). Basically you have your own pet you spawn. You can train it. feed it, but it furniture and race/battle other monsters. Furthermore you can buy more rooms to build and expand it's habitat for it to run around in n stuff. >>736960061yeah I guess so. I guess my beef with it is I don't feel smart doing it, it's like my brain feels bad for being lazy and not exercising. I did an internship once where I was told to make an AI that sorts and manages company files. I was expected AI to do 90% of the coding. I managed to do it and do it well, but I felt SO BORED doing it. But that doesn't really excuse efficiency. Soo maybe i should just try what this guy is providing: >>736959686
>>736959997I forgot to mention the pets themselves are based on mythological creatures, like minotaurs, gorgons, phoenixes, etc.
this is gonna sound retarded but is there no way to "sculpt" in low poly?I like sculpting, I like texturing and painting, but I hate the box-extrude-fill workflow it's just so slow and unintuitive compared to just pulling shapes out of a blob of clay like I'm drawing or painting
>>736961241The problem is that you need a dense mesh to sculpt, anon. Try sculpting in blender with a low poly sphere, even by adding subdivisions it wont behave as you would like it to. Or better, the less polygons the mesh has, the less it will behave as you want it to while sculpting.I sometimes like to model lowpoly, then add subdivs and sculpt on the lowpoly a bit to refine some parts so baking is a bit easier later but thats just for refining.The other option is scultping on highpoly and then doing retopology
>>736960960>yeah I guess so. I guess my beef with it is I don't feel smart doing it, it's like my brain feels bad for being lazy and not exercising.It's not just you, all the software devs who love the process of coding are having existential crisis's now that their passion is being automated away, just look up AI fatigue, AI ruined coding on youtube.
>>736957459yeah good luck getting your shitty godot game that took you 20 years to make running on console (where the money is)
>>736957629if (You)'re PC can't handle jiggle physics on at least 10 (ten) big titty goth gfs on the screen then I don't know what to tell you anon
>>736927557I spent some time a couple days back drawing new backgrounds for the initial cutscene for my Dungeon Crawler. Now I'm writting the dialogue, party chats and stuff
Put this cool ring effect for when players join and leave mid-game. Prepping the game to be as polished as can be for the next NextFest in June.
>>736962289Neat. Good job, nice lighting.
>>736960960You're optimizing the fun out of what I imagine is essentially a hobby/passion project. Stop being dragged down by the efficience gremlim. If AI is sucking the fun out of something you're not straight up doing for money, stop using it. I'd honestly also suggest telling your friend how to use ai for coding himself and let go if you don't care that much for it, cause you most likely will get bored, leave him hanging and make him hold a bunch of code he has no idea how to parse.
>>736962338Thanks bro. Drawing backgrounds is fun, too bad it takes me a bit to finalize each of them
I've been fiddling with and reading up on SDL3 and a few other libraries, which has gone surprisingly smoothly so far. Certainly helped by me being a codemonkey and going for a very simple 2D design. But then again if I wasn't this kind of an autist, I wouldn't even know what is and isn't useless bloat in big fat engines. And since the basic abstractions are so clear, I get to design and optimize shit from the first principles, which means it's always MY WAY and never the HIGHWAY. GPU interactions and 3D rendering are still a bit too black magic-y for me, but thankfully text and image drawing is easy enough to steal.Really looking forward to read with the most awfully sardonic tone you can imagine problems that will inevitably arise once I'm past testbed toy projects. For now I am still coping that I know better, that robust design and sanitizers will catch the most egregious issues, but that's plain hubris.>tl;dr go into enginedev they are all lying to you to fill the pockets of big enterbrain it's never been easier
>>736962289looks cool
>>736962160what about 50? I really think performance should be gauged in how many big titty goth gfs can have jiggle physics simultaneously. It's a much better method of measurement.
>>736943352i like the holographic cyber palm tree growing from the road
>>736959874Nice work, your movement looks a lot better from the last time I've seen this
>>736943352Bit too colourful, tone done the red. Look at gta 6. They are doing it right. This is impossible to look at.
>>736940946thanks man! happy to read that you are making progress with your game, hope to see more of it soon! For the animation transitions, if you are in Godot checkout the AnimationTree, that makes it very easy to interpolate between animations and it looks real smooth!
>>736958596been using this at work and in the last 2 weeks I've completed 4 stories without typing a single line of code. My career is cooked, hope people like goblins>>736959874pretty nice! if you plan to add a "hurt" or a "falling" animation for the enemies you could recycle that for the "grabbed" and "thrown" animations. That's what I do and in most cases it looks nice
>out of claude messagesit's over for me.
>>736927557Got custom heightmap to work, but for some fucking reason I can't get my characters to smoothly change heights.Even with a basic 4 points bilinear interpolation it still has jarring "step" in height when moving around.
>>736964617love the little dogs. Good luck with that shit man
>>736934917games with crafting, simulation, or strategy mechanics perform better on PC than they do with consoles. AAA doesn't do it because they are difficult to test
>>736940998I guess "gritty" is a way you could describe this level, yeah. I didn't really put that much thought into drawing the pixel art for the light sources, so that comparison is fair lmao.

>>736965921>it won't let me post any goblinswhat the hell why?>>736966361I feel like the ornament + that light when you get close to the limit is enough. Good stuff!
>>736966471I'm not seeing any furfag designs in that?
>>736962959Based. Is it objectively slower than using something off the shelf? Absolutely. Will you want to tear your hair out sometimes? Definitely. But imo it's a lot more fun to do than to use an existing engine (at least for 2D). Probably the most fun I've ever had with gamedev.

This is what remains:>boss fight>bunch of NPC models for cutscenes>cutscenesI started working on the boss, currently setting up the collisions so instead of a single big capsule it has collisions per body part, so you can do stuff like going through the legs or stand on his arm after he delivers a jump, allowing you to do another jump to reach the head.>>736967124oh yeah 4chan's been all shitty today for me as well. Glad to see you can post gobbers again. How's the game going?
>>736967836>after he delivers a jumpafter he delivers a punch. What the fuck was I thinking there lol
>>736967836>boss fighti'll ask again next month
It's goin, working on pixel art. Currently the bad guys don't do anything to hurt you when you bump into them. I'm gonna give them a little punch or whatever so contact damage is a little cooler.
>>736967947kek, yeah it's going to take a while between enemy logic and scenario presentation>>736967990love all the effects, very cool! do you reload bullets one by one Outlaws style?
>>736967836Sick balrog dude. Game's going well, hopefully we'll have something to show soon. We decided on a 6 month development cycle, so it should be done in the summer. At least, my programming is on track, but we don't have many enemies modeled yet.
>>736963984I am using Godot and the AnimationTree, and for the most part i works well. I just struggle with figuring out how to call a basic attack combo that interrupts the walking/running state machine, without looping endlessly. But I'll wait for some more tokens and then discuss it some more with Claude, lol.

>>736929024>devs should write their own enginesThe best coder I know (self taught as a small child, been coding and gaming for 30+ years) has always meant to make a game but he fell down the engine rabbithole many years ago and all he does is constantly optimize and refine the engine to run on the most ancient of toasters. If you want to make a game you need to actually make a fucking game, the engine should only be a factor if nothing can do what you want it to do.

>>736980718Both you guys are what's ruining it with your tiresome feudIt's funny to make fun of an attentionwhore retard but it has its limits. That's when jannies need to come in with the banhammer to cool things off so it doesn't become habitposting
>>736981824You are absolutely right. We must ban everyone who does not have a game they made to show, starting with >>736981750.
>>736981892I accept your concession that you touch little boys.
>>736981824I wish jannies did anything about that yeah, thread was going pretty nice until the usual retards showed up
>>736982049At this point you're just throwing out libel in a desperate attempt to win a battle you lost long ago.Not a good look for you.
>>736981824Well unfortunately despite being permabanned at least once, constant, persistent avatarfagging, constant, persistent disruptive behavior, he never gets taken care of no matter how much he gets reported for the aboveAlso given that he's evading at least one permanent ban it likely wouldn't accomplish much as he'd probably evade those bans tooIgnoring him is no good either, he will just reply to himself until someone engages with him because 'they did it already'He knows he shits up threads with his presence, he enjoys shitting up threads with his presence, he is the text book example of a cancerous gimmick shitposter who lives only to fuck threads up for fun
>>736982172jannies could do so much to improve this site. I knew nothing about moderation going into web development and learned a lot about what they actually could do to clean up this derailment. It's one general that gets a lot of traction, if they have to ban and delete posts to keep the thread discussion from dying it's what's best for the site
>>736981460how is it different from using a regular algorithmic filter?The result will be the same except perhaps cleaner.>darth vader voice with pitch shift >:D>Dart vader voice with AI voice modulator>:((((((
>>736981824Mods got bored of banning rasko because he keeps dodging bans with help from his sharty friends.
>>736981824banning won't matter for fagoon since he knows how to ban evade and has boasted about it in the past. can't speak for his haters, but if they're real i'd imagine they pull similar shit.actually while we're on this topic, i don't believe fagoon has any real haters and most people are indifferent and ignore him, and it's him trolling himself to give himself a reason to act tough and possibly garner sympathy from other anons who aren't wise to his shit yet. Something about the way his haters all write feels like his writing style.
>>736982195>battleStupid nigger, you're the bonus game. There's as much battle in here as there's a battle batween me and the ants i may unknowingly step on in my way.
>>736976471>disable jiggle physics for big titty goth gfs that are further from the player's viewheresy
>>736961241i think substance painter has a thing that lets you paint normal details directly without sculpting geometrylike if you wanted to add a few creases to cloth without doing a high poly bake>>736976665grats, anonpost stats
I've just changed the gameplay loop yet again... Time to rethink all the systems.>>736977704Congrats, man. I still remember when the sprites were a bunch of shitpost pictures, hope it does well.
>>736980006that's what you get for using unreal engine anon
>>736980006>turn on all the graphically intensive features in a debug build>surprised when it's graphically intensiveYou'd probably get much better framerates if you were using a release build, but obviously turning on features will never give you more FPS.
>Guess I'll check out this Redot shit since Godot are being a bunch of psycho trannies>Lmao it's just a Godot fork with a red ui but whatever>2 months later>Okay I'm ready to go back to real Godot now>Turns out I've been using redot exclusive features that make it impossible to migrate my project backFuck guess I'm not gonna be able to use 4.7 when it comes out.
>>736983675that's really good, anonit's not big bux, but you are now ahead of like 80% of indie devs who don't even make a cent
>>736983085>post stats24 units sold, 91$ revenue, assuming steam is up to date.Honestly better then I expected, I was at 400 wishlists on release. I never expected tons of money from the project.>>736983097Thanks anon, those were the days. I need to put together a compilation of the progress from the first prototype.
>>736983387i dunno, my optimization goals are the 3060, the most popular gpu, running the game at 120+ fps at 1080. i can only approximate with my 3060 ti that i purposefully gimped to run like a 3060, and the results are the same on there, 60ish fps on max lumen quality tsr, then over 250 fps with baked lighting at native 1080p. obviously this is a gray box with nothing in it, but those are promising numbers, considering all of ue5s performance issues come from both the high tier settings being brutal on everything, and most people having ancient gpus still. abiotic factor on ue5 uses software lumen and the 3060 can do 70+ fps at 1440p high.>>736983537no, i'm shocked that a fucking gray box with a floor, a wall, and a small room craters a 5070 ti to 130 fps. those settings are what every aaa dev slams into their ue5 game, and then every single game is perceived as unoptimized, which, yeah. i feel epic was making all these developments and didn't foresee covid, the gpu apocalypse, the ai apocalypse, the ram apocalypse, all of the western world collapsing in on itself in a few short years, so basically nobody has up to date hardware, and epic has all these cool tech advancements available to nobody.>>736976665>>736983774i buyed boughted. don't let your dreams be memes.
>>736983736Redot has exclusive features?
>>736983774That's cool, you've come a long way from that proto.
>>736983871Thanks anon, let me know if you find any game breaking bugs! You're a real bro
>>736983904Redot has support for animated images which I use instead of sprite sheets because it saves on disk space and GPU memory and also make use of large 2048 pixel tall characters. I have entire custom class built on top of it that loads and unloads sprites asynchronously to manage VRAM usage and can animate them using a simple tag and group system without having to use Godot's buggy animation player node.
goblin bumpspent most of the afternoon away so barely any progress today. At least I was able to confirm that there's no problem on the player being able to stand atop big enemies, which is cool to do things like "boss throws a punch, you jump on his fist, then jump again and strike the head". Could be fun.also picrel is one year old...
