gamedev monday
Don't forget Cris! >>740008614
Major stalling on sourcing, editing and mixing sfx. god damn I don't enjoy this. downloaded reaper because the audacity effects workflow clicking through menus is fucking annoying.
About to finally release a demo for my game. Very excited, hope to get some people to play it.
Supposed to be an "archdruid". In order to evoke the whole tree-wizard aesthetic for an experimental-model-prototype robot, he's got "roots" made of pipes and tubes and "branches" made of antennas and receiver dishes. I'm not entirely sure the branch-antler-antennas is working, it feels sort of busy and part of me feels like I'm just redesigning Siren Head. After it's textured/painted I may tone that down or cut it back to just the antlers. I feel like aesthetically the antlers are cooler on their own but it just doesn't make any sense functionally.Mechanically, this is a boss encounter that does phase 1 rooted to the ground spamming projectiles, then phase 2 it breaks off of its "roots" and can fly around.
Working on cave gen. Still not 100% sure how I want resource gathering to work
>>740010642Whatever you say fagoon
>>740010642Great news ;)You should have a place to follow you when you announce the demo, best is a steam page, then twitter/youtube. I don't think itch alone is great.
the hardest part of being a dev is youre not allowed to call your userbase fucking retarded or they throw a fit
>>740010853I think the antlertennas are a bit too much. Love the bottom part tho, all those tubes almost look like tentacles which gives it an eldritch vibe.>>740012539Looks neato. How are you generating that level layout?>>740013831Thanks anon. And yeah so far getting a following on itch has been really hard, I think people just don't use it a lot. I have an X account (https://x.com/tinto_gamedev) and I plan to create a Steam page if the demo feedback is good and promising enough.
>>740014118It worked for the Mouthwashing guy.
>>740010642nice, congrats anon. are you doing itch + steam for the demo/eventual full release?>>740012539thats a big mapim not doing game stuff right now. im making a fake lighting thing. pic rel is fake lighting without any other context :)
>>740015354ty!>are you doing itch + steam for the demo/eventual full release?yes! for now it's just itch, but later on I might open a Steam page if there's enough interest in the game>fake lightinghow does that work? just vertex painting and then slapping a texture on top of it?
I've finally picked up my game again after almost a year of doing nothing with it. Let's see if it'll stick this time.
It has taken me almost two months to make one stage that's like five minutes of gameplay. I wish I didn't have to work so I could dev full time.
i did fucking nothing
remember to add volumetric gas to your games
oh forgot to mention that this weeked I had a real playtest thanks to a relative that was visiting me. It was cool to see someone else play the game live, figuring out stuff and killing goblins. I'm quite happy because there were barely any bugs (all fixed now) and feedback was positive, specially regarding difficulty: I was fearing the game could be too easy but it seemed to be "just fine" until the final part of the demo which seemed quite hard, but that's fine since that was my intention
>>740016151glad your mom played your game
>>740015990I add it in blender for my renders all the time. Especially glowing sprites and stuff.
>once user pointed it out last thread I can notice his posting consistency IS exactly the sameDamn, that was some fine detective work whoever figured that out.
>>740015990thats just bloom lmao>>740015832>how does that work? just vertex painting and then slapping a texture on top of it?nahh its basically unity's APVtheres a bit (a lot lol) more to it, but basically that. i dont wanna explain it too much until i figure it out a bit more, ive read through the API documentations 3 times already and still dont understand it completelybut the goal is to create a system that can cache realtime lights and fake "bake" them so it can have more lights on lower settings. in that pic rel, all the realtime lights are turned off but they're still lighting the scene close-ish to how it'd look if they were enabled.
>>740016691**it wont look like sherbert ice cream when it gets composited. at least i hope not i havent composited it yet lol since this will be passed through my fog and bloom first.
What's with everyone saying goblin anon and fygoon are the same person?
abandoned sketch for steam capsule art
>>740017163His fairy model or whatever is like a 1:1 of what fagoon does.
>>740017163some attention-seeking retard with desire to create drama
>>740017542Honestly there's a modicrum of truth to it possibly. It make me retroactively think back on threads and there's a lot of data to back it up. He showed up as a poster after fagoon got ousted and they have similar posting hours.
>>740017335Maybe this kind of split.>>740017163You'd do well to learn about the concept of samefagging.
>>740017696Oh and fagoon started these /v/ threads to try to restore his image and one of the first posts is always goblins...
animating
>>740017703the problem with something like that is that not every character gets to show face, but maybe i shouldn't try to have my cake and eat it too
>>740017703Doesn't Fygoon use Unity for The Frydarian Tale? I'm quite certain that the goblin dev is using Godot for his game dev endeavors.
>>740016691>but the goal is to create a system that can cache realtime lights and fake "bake" them so it can have more lights on lower settings.>in that pic rel, all the realtime lights are turned off but they're still lighting the scene close-ish to how it'd look if they were enabled.might be a silly question but since I don't know about Unity there it goes: isn't what you are describing basically the same as baking a lightmap? In Godot that doesn't look anything like what you posted>>740018361we are not the same person lmao. Do you think someone like Fagoon, who's capable of writting whole essays about his lore, would have a project running for a year and a half without giving it a proper name?
>>740018361That would honestly be some good pottery if true because fagoon also made it a note to really harp on how much he hates godot and how godot is terrible and people should only use unity. Easily carving out the narrative defense that he couldn't be goblin dev.
>oh shit, he even avatarfags like him with the same filename styling when making snarky replies
>>740017163Who tf is fygoon? I just joined these threads the other week
put in the start for a voting system, i have to make the Ui that shows the votes, but overall most of the pain will be with having the complex emotional system used for the voting system which will most liekly be done with applying all of the results into a wheel and spinning it with creating bias.
>>740019143
>>740019143Who's Fygoon?>A physical powerhouse>A street fighter>A weapons expert>He's whatever the situation demands
>>740010642But of course.THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEEEEEEEEEE
You know, a fag.
>>740019835basedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XBlBPtQW6g
>>740019910and goblin-pilled!
Now I can't unsee it. Holy shit haha
if you were about to make a yume nikki style game but in the Alice in wonderland universe, howd you do it? I need ideas, please
>>740019998
how many of you will be on /v/3 showcase?
>>740010209Amazing what a difference a few decent sfx can make to gamefeel.>>740019998The most overused setting in media. fucking read another book. hell, the first thing I thought about was the little prince and it has a hallucination wandering section built in.
>>740010209Save music production and sound fx work for people who actually know what they're doing. It's fucking cheap to outsource people like us.
>>740020134have you ever read alice in wonderland and through the looking glass?
>>740020282no I'm not a pedophile
>>740020187How does a profit share deal sound sweety?
>>740020335I can produce for you for $100 a minute.
>>740020082According to the lineup in the other thread, 70 devs
>>740020282I have and it is incredibly mid. Make a game based on Captain Vrungel, I want to gamble my money away for a rare Brazilian Banditto or a legendary Aboriginal-Disguised Kusaki.
Added directional dodge animations and reworked the attack animation to make it hopefully more satisfying.>>740010642I'm playing it for sure anon. Where are you releasing it?
>>740018854>might be a silly question but since I don't know about Unity there it goes: isn't what you are describing basically the same as baking a lightmap? In Godot that doesn't look anything like what you postedits kinda like baking, but not really. basically it'll take the realtime lights then cache them into a buffer, and only recalculate once every X frames, when there's a dynamic object entering into its probe volumes, when lights disabled, etc.and its pretty fast cus light calculations doesnt have to be on the surface shader at all, all the surface shader needs to do is sample a texture or since it uses APV it can be pushed onto objects with a post process.its basically jumping through a ton of hoops to make deferred lights lmao. except instead of lighting happening near the end, i can inject the lighting before or during post processing.
My job is giving me free Claude training and I'm wondering if this thing is actually good at coding Unity shit.I used it to process spreadsheets and make scripts in the training but idk how good this thing would be with an actual code base.
>>740017163its fagoon trying to get the thread to talk about him, just ignore it
>>740021084cant he just post progress like the rest of us lol.
Someone took down the LGBT question thread, so I'm just gonna dump my answer here:>>740018560There used to be this feeling that there's a lot of white dudeness and only straight people in everything, and many straights were actually even calling for it themselves to also sometimes show gay characters or be less generic.What happened since then is that it became sort of "popular" to associate yourself either with being a woke LGBT supporter (virtue signaling) or to be narcissistic about pretending you're a woman but actually aren't.I personally don't believe that real transgenders exist. I do believe some men are born with enough femininity, either in their voice, or their thought patterns where they just can't help themselves, and they might be very authentically womanlike, and people might accept their delusion that they're women. But it isn't how this went.Especially with Gen Z, it became propagandized so much that it's now a new form of peer pressure, for teenagers -- instead of deciding to be the most skilled sports jock, the coolest pop idiot, or the most contrarian emo in the room -- they are now calling attention to themselves by turning to the LGBT environment.These are not people who would die if they couldn't become women, or would feel discriminated if they can't suck other men off. It's normal fucking idiots who are PRETENDING they're snowflakes who have these needs, because there is a social contagion that has regurgitated and repeated these ideas, exactly like propaganda, and peer pressure always works so if a few people do something, others will either want to show support, or try to one-up them by doing it better.The question is then, "why can't we do this? Why can't that just be culture". Well, perhaps if we started with being honest about that, we could go from there, but everyone, especially those who don't buy into these ideas, have to LIE TO OURSELVES about things that are false.
>>740021146he devs once every 3 months
>>740021084No it's not. Seeing as how I'm not fagoon and most of this is making sense. >>740021201I ain't reading all that but you sound like a fag
>>740021146He's been posting here for literal years and hasn't made any progress in 2 of them. There's posters that have showed up and recreated his game in minutes just to insult him and he can't finish his game.
It's a music day.Wanted to diversify the music in my game from '1 track that plays for all of single player' to ' a track for each of the seven stages/worlds/zones whatever you wanna call it"so i'm making 6 new songs, one for each stage of the game. I think it will add a good bit of variety.Heres a couple of the new tracks:This one's called cowboy trash:https://voca.ro/1jmzedSHJ8AFThis one's called cafe trash:https://vocaroo.com/1dP8ds74EHEQ
>>740020304do you browse /pol/?
>>740021507Nope.
i'm making a mount for saints row 2 to render the map in another engine, extremely hard getting it to run smoothly though, probably why the original game ran like shit on pc too
>>740020658no I want to make a game based on Alice
>>740021496>making new songs>its just AI
>>740021575ok
>>740020705very neat progress anon. I believe the player's trail could look better with more after-images in place but not sure. Also loving the boss animations, dude has a lot of style. Is there any hitstop implemented? I believe that could help in making the hits feel more meaty>I'm playing it for sure anon. Where are you releasing it?nice! It'll be released on my game's itch page and I will spam the board left and right once it's released>https://tintodev.itch.io/project-goblin>>740020978damn, that sounds complicated lol. Thanks for the explanation anon! I don't know if there's anything like that for Godot but I'll check it out. Best of luck with it! Seems like a nice way of optimizing the game>>740020282never read it and didn't even like the movie. Why not make a game based on something cool instead like Dragonlance or The Dark Tower? I'd play the shit out of that
>>740021658I mean if you can get a better sound than i can using actual DAWs be my guest, but i like making melodies and harmonies and throwing it into ais to get stems to use that are better instrumented versions of the notes. I woudln't trust it to just "make a song" but if you know music theory you can end up with something a little better than just shitty plugins and instruments you have to tweak.
>>740021810Of course I can get a better sound. I also don't need AI to write and play the parts lmao.
>>740021928You post a lot of words but no sounds, i hear music not read it off of a post on /v/, I also just use it for voicings and write the actual music/notes myself but your kind is only interested in shitflinging
>>740021787>damn, that sounds complicated lol. Thanks for the explanation anon! I don't know if there's anything like that for Godot but I'll check it out. Best of luck with it! Seems like a nice way of optimizing the gameim hoping to someday recreate something like Splinter Cell or Hitman Blood Money one day, so the little raccoon game i'm making is a nice start even if its super inspired by Untitled Goose Game as well as regular stealthbasically doing a small tech demo of the raccoon, then i'll either go back to my weird dreamy game again, or start the stealth splinter cell one. prob the stealth one since thats my fav genre for games anywayi miss my old project but it was so bloated with all of the mini games inside of it i had to stop lol.
>>740022037Here's the current scratch track for a song being worked on https://vocaroo.com/1nLJQNFpWclj you can count it as my progress post for the day.
>>740020082me
>>740022129damn I'm dumb, didn't realize it was you all along lol. Did you get to release the minigames one? I remember talking with you about it and that you could release it in it's current form to maybe revisit it in the future. The racoon game looks super cool, even more since you told me it'll have beavers too. Good luck with it man!
no real progress because ambitions got left unchecked and anxiety crept in. only managed to talk myself back down to my original scope (small) with the help of a friend recently but perfectionism is still clouding some decisions
>>740022219Look i'm actually not going to shit on you I acutally quite like the chorus effect you put on the guitar, I'm mainly a guitar player myself so that's kind of where i base everything off of. I like the overall like sound of it but i can tell you definitely need to add like a melody or some other hook to carry over the chords and strumming, which i'm not sure if you are intending to do or not.Also i guess it totally depends on the game you're putting it in. Just a lot of mud when that chorus kicks in
>>740022530I'm the producer/engineer of the track so I didn't write the main chords, it's a vocal song so the vocal melody is what carries the track and I won't have at that done until the vocalist comes over tonight after work. I wrote the bass line and added the secondary guitar octave riff to the chorus as well as notes on the direction of the drumming. I think I used the TAL Chorus free VST for that chorus effect on the guitar and then a bunch of processing eq and stuff afterwards, it also was recorded through a sansamp RBI. This track of course isn't for a video game but for a vinyl record release bonus track. The original song is just acoustic and vocals from a previous EP. Although I have done video game tracks.
>>740022353>Did you get to release the minigames one? I remember talking with you about it and that you could release it in it's current form to maybe revisit it in the futurenahh i ended up deleting a bunch from that project, now its a skeleton of its former selfi had an idea for redoing loading into new areas/levels based off of this webm rel i had made, but doing that would've forced me to completely restart everything, cus all of the saving, levels themselves, and a few other things would need drastic changesi still have the core parts of it, so if i were to restart it'd be possible, but idk. A lot of the game didn't feel focused and it was all over the place, so it'd be a ton of half-baked ideas put together.
>>740021787because I want to make a game based on Alice in wonderland
>>740022924Okay thats why it sounded so much more like a "song" song cool yeah i'm sure this one will turn out great then anonI usually only produce or listen to instrumental music so thats why it sounded like that to me
>>740023052Yeah, I think one of the last times I did any sort of video game-esque track specifically it was probably this one late last year and I never finished it I just kind of jammed it out one night while chillin. https://vocaroo.com/1dUUtC4uBeEn
>>740022976the transition is a bit jarring but everything else looks amazing. Whatever you dev next I hope you keep doing your shader magic, love it man>>740023008Can't argue with that lel. Good luck with the game anon! Hope to see your progress soon
>>740023201Pretty cool, i'd use this in the intro to a metroid-vania or a futuristic stealth action game
>>740023474Thanks, yeah I tend to gravitate towards a sort of industrial cyber sound when doing video game stuff and I start blending synths and distorted guitar (which somehow always turns into feedback and pinch/regular harmonics). I don't know if that's just the "everything is crab" outcome of blending those things or if it's just my 90s childhood. When I do other types of music like RPG songs or something I always limit myself to a more narrow synth scope.
>>740023474>>740023827Oh here we go, found another one from awhile ago https://vocaroo.com/1ohyLNSn42Vs This one is called The Bog
>>740023827My thing is that i always try to approach each song from a completely different genre angle, I try not to make any two songs that sound super similar. The only real through line with a lot of my work is that i pretty much exlusively use the minor key>>740023990Very much a "you just fell intoa hole to a forest/swamp/stomach in an RPG and have to find your way out"Here's one for my other project that i'm not making until I have a budget to make it great:https://vocaroo.com/1YcyeUGMcvLf
>>740023464thanks if you have some ideas tell me
>>740024223would love to but I haven't played Yume Nikki nor am that familiar with Alice stuff, sorry
>>740009987I bought SRPG Studio as it is on sale for $30
>>740024307ok thx anyway
>>740024197Pretty neat, reminds me of some recent FF or other Japanese action game type stuff. It reminds me of shredders suite from TMNT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mVTf-ppd2s
>>740023464>the transition is a bit jarring but everything else looks amazing. Whatever you dev next I hope you keep doing your shader magic, love it manthanks goblin broyeah its kind of a bummer but i realized a lot of my shaders do not work in a first person POV without really specific framing + levels layoutsthe raccoon game/tech demo thing will be a more fixed top-down perspective, so im hoping it'll let me get away with a few more rendering tricks since i wont have to keep in consideration the camera rotating or being able to get super close to objects.
up
I want to make a game where you are stuck in a casino. Everyone, including you, cheats in there. What games would you like to see in a game like this? So far I decided on blackjack, slots, roulette and poker (exclusive for the final boss)
>>740028035Do you know how to move a character in an engine? ;)
>>740028184Not yet.. I mostly fucked around with pygame and SFML (I made a few simpler 2D projects)
>>740028035There was a point and click game I played a long time ago where you have to play several card games against a character, I remember one was High or Low, and then the last one was Three Card Monte, which he always cheats in and the only way to win is to cheat back (you have to make him turn his head and then mark the right card, then you can see that he snuck it back onto the deck and it shows the mark on it while he's shuffling idly)
>>740028445do you remember the name of that game? Sounds cool
>>740028387Start with pong. forget about any 'dream game' until at least 2 years from now.
>>740028567It was called Octavia in The Underworld's Cello.I neglected to mention that it's a pony game. Also it never got finished I think, but it was a neat homage to Uninvited, down to the death music being a remix.
>>740028658I made that already. So far I made pong in C, blackjack, half of a chess simulator (I gave up when I realized how many edge cases there are, it was also my 2nd project so it didn't help lol) in C++, a pokemon gen 1 battle simulator in python and I'm currently making roulette also in python
>>740028917wow I should have read what I wrote, this is barely legible>>740028826not my thing, but thanks anyway
>>740028917Nobody uses pygame, you won't be able to get assistance or learning resources. why not switch to godot or unity?
when was the v3 again?
>>740029071I wanted to switch to godot for this project
Making music in FL makes me want to die. I know there's some bias here because I don't ever listen to other people's first attempts, but everything I make is the worst thing I've ever heard
why is outsourcing so ridiculously expensive? I just want some sound effects engineered and these creatures want like 8 weeks of my paychecks' worth for like 6 sounds. even the cheap ones.
>>740029315Do the following two things:>do a cover of a song you like, if it has a MIDI file available, use it>find a song you like where all of its instruments are known, then make a new song using only those same instrumentsIf the first song sucks, you're bad at picking instruments/mixing, focus on thatIf the second song sucks, you're bad at composing melodies/chords/rhythms, focus on that
>>740029397I thought game dev talent was all broke and homeless from the AI apocalypse? apparently not, because they think their time is worth more than doctors and lawyers still
>>740029397>8 weeks of my paychecks' worth for like 6 sounds.I should've gone into sound engineering when I had the chance. Fuck me
progress on light movement. Boosting up, side, jumping and also charging mana
Made a system to label and grab control icons depending on what control scheme you're using and a small hint for the minigame you're playing.
Im tired of working on my game I don't like it anymoreTalk me out of making a 3 niggas in a row game with magical girls
>>740029143the 6th, 7PM eastern time
>>740017163They're simple the two sides of the same coin
>>740030859whenever I don't like my game taking a break with a side project helpswork on main game til I hate it, hop to side game til I hate it, and by then I like my main game again, repeatsometimes you need a break so you can return with a fresh mindsetso go ahead, make your 3 niggas in a row game with magical girls until you cannot stand the sight of it
>>740009987May Devlog is out at https://multimaniacsteam.github.io/ and honestly I'm pretty pumped. This June I'll put a lot of work into all the systems, which are actually already pretty laid out and ready to be used, I just have to smoothe some of the roughest edges this media has ever seen.
>>740031510I don't recommend this. I suggest everyone follows a dev path rooted in love, not hate.
>want to make super bloons monkey shooter for mobile>market is oversaturated>want to make beat 'em up>market is oversaturated>Want to make fun platformer>market is oversaturated>want to make Zelda like >market is oversaturatedI just want to make a fun 2d game
>>740032836My dev path is fueled by spite and disappointment I had at the missed potential of other games
>>740033052Just make a game you want to play instead anon, a game you wish existedIf you are making a game just for profit then you won't have a good time
>>740031187arigatoo sensei
>>740033052here's a good action you need to take: start making a game. Things to consider next: "how to make it fun?", "what things at minimum i need for the game to be fun?"
FuuuuuckNeed to learn to code to do ps1 RE1-style game
How much do you charge for your game?
>>740034271I'm thinking somewhere in the $20-30 mark, but I am very far from release so it's not something I think about much.
>>74003427110$ or 15$
>>740021604Why doesn't it run smoothly? Because there is no different LODs? Otherwise isn't it all dependant than in post processing and how your game optimizes distant geometry?
>>740034271$7-8>always in under $10>dont need to do a huge discount to get into under $5
I made a system that loads areas based on the HTML image map I made for the Zmeian Compendium. At the moment it is able to recognize where the player is located in each region, but it's still a little buggy. With the information I gathered from this exercise, I feel like I can improve the existing trigger-based system to be less buggy.
How the fuck is literally everything in here worse than literal hobbyist level models and animations seen on X or Youtube? Are you all brown or something?
>>740035559
>>740021787 >Is there any hitstop implemented?I have a pretty scuffed implementation of it, but that's one of the next things on the chopping block, since I'm focusing on improving game feel now.>>740022976The watercolor shader is insanely cool>>740029752Hard to tell just based on the webm, but light seems like the most fun one to control so far
>>740035559>Calls others brown while posting Dragon Ball picturesCalm down, Jose.
>>740035559the ones you see on youtube/X are from people with clout. we don't have clout. you think the algo isn't spoonfeeding you that shit?
>>740029752what characters do you have so far?
>>740034617way too muchIs $4.99 too little?
>>740035845careful with asking for too little, people might think the game is shit or that it barely has any content
>>740035734That's still no excuse for (You) being outright shit.>>740035698Nice deflection, now answer the actual statement Habib.
>ask claude to fix physics collider problem i cant figure out (something with queries/states)>effort: max>spends 16 minutes working on a response and runs out of tokens instantly>implements change>it didn't workAI cultists, what happened? I thought this shit was supposed to fix coding?
>>740035882>ask claudefound the bug in your game
>>740035559The people who lurk these threads with good stuff aren't going to post it here to be associated with fucking fagoon and his ilk. Ever seen a supercar displayed in a junkyard? That's what people who put thousands of hours into learning how to make a proper model think. No, not me, my art looks like a preschooler's doodles.
>>740035882Never will. AI will only be good for generating art assets. You will still need an actual human with actual coding/programming knowledge for your game.
Diesel Souls "daily" update, got the tire/arm mesh and rig working almost as intended, wings and elytra tomorrow probably, unless I focus on making some roads to drive on instead of the empty desert template in unreal. Need to adjust the demo boss size/shape, finding the gap between its wheels a little too narrow, car keeps catching too often.If I can produce all the necessary basic models during this week, I could focus on scripting the actual fight next week.
>>740035949So basically there's no reason for actual human beings-- whether they be other creators or otherwise-- to ever look in this thread and is just a bunch of junkyard monkeys chattering amongst each other?
>>740035610looks nice so far but enemies should have more reaction to getting hit. >Hard to tell just based on the webm, but light seems like the most fun one to control so farThanks, it's just kinda zipping around. A little OP but it's the boss so it should be fine if unbalanced>>740035830It's just 1 character that can use 4 elements. plus some variations within them.
>>740035882Unironically just use Grok for shit like thisClaude isn't aimed at solo or small companies. It only works on enterprise tier
>>740035876You're the one deflecting from showing us what you made, Paco.
>>740035875how much content do you need to charge $5 to $10?
>>740035957not really, I have been making my game purely on Ai. I simply wont post it because i dont want you faggots knowing im steamrolling
>>740035559The ones on youtube aren't making a game. They don't have to worry about the economy of time in completing a full project. Scope is irrelevant to them.
>>740036079>jeet actually believes this>>740036117Neither do you, you're a nobody with no team and no actual deadline, you work on it on the side for free. You're just bad and couldn't compete with said people in terms of quality even if you tried.
>>740036028Well there's no reason for them to post a lot here, it's not a good place for publicity due to the average quality. This isn't a dig at people here, but it's just the truth, that's how these things work. Hopoo, the Project Wingman dude, etc stopped posting progress pretty quickly, though I'm sure they still post anonymously.That said there are people making stuff that looks good and not just my first Godot project, like >>740029752.
>>740036187>Neither do youOf course I do. I have to scope aggressively BECAUSE it's something I do on the side. Otherwise it would take me 40 years to finish a game. You're just not very smart, nor are you even white lol
>>740036187>jeet actually believes thisone day i will drop my game and you will say i am a tourist whos just shilling his game.
>>740036261>>740036276Whatever cope helps you sleep at night, swarthy.
>>740036210What if i like to lurk and post gamede/v/ threads precicely because they are low profile, its a good way to get that "i need to tell someone what im working on" out without completely spilling the beans and having to have a record of it all
>>740035882i'll use ai sometimes to quickly find info on unreal blueprint stuff; needed to figure out some camera shenanigans that gemini couldn't understand, claude gave me a confident long winded answer that didn't work either, grok ended up being the one that gave a working wiring scheme. i hope you aren't paying for sub lol, just switch between their free models and see which one works.
how the fuck do I even get started in godot
>>740036350if you dont know how to usa Ai to your advantage you are not gonna make it. Yes you need to know game design which you probably dont which is why you have issues with Ai.>claude please made me a gamethats not how Ai works jeet
>>740036073depends on the quality of the content. Silksong and Mina both are 20$ bucks, so there's that as a point of reference
>>740034948because it requires tens of thousands of drawcalls, i have no idea how an xbox 360 did it, not even counting lods
>>740036527I started with the Getting Started section in their docs:>https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/introduction/index.htmlafter that you could mess around to get the hang of it or just start with your dreamgame. Good luck anon
>>740036187>>740036350stop replying to people like him, you're never going to win. they swarm around every board taunting you over a mythical AI game that doesn't exist and will continue to do so until the heat death of the universe. you're literally getting into "my girlfriend goes to another school" tier playground shenanigans
>>740035882works quite well for me, yes
>>740035957AI art assets look the absolute worst though, just adds to the pile of generic AI art games.
>The /agdg/ regulars have arrivedOh well, it was fun while it lasted.
>>740035882Claude got really retarded recently. Went back to using ChatGPT
>>740036647I've read all the documentation, even did the 2D example projectthe main problem I have is I've got no idea how to get off the ground in godot, what to start working on first, how to organize nodes, what all the good organization/optimization practices are so I don't fuck myself hours into development, etc.
>>740036945what kind of game do you want to make?
>>740036757I agree. Even if it's better than what I can draw, something about it just cheapens the look of the game. I have a bunch of AI placeholders and it makes me hate it. I am learning how to draw now to replace them. >>740036808Went there for the first time yesterday. They don't seems so bad. Lots of cock stroking and some guy spamming AI shit but other than that it doesn't seem much worse than /v/.
>>740036970I'm hoping to make one of those 3D top down horde shooters, just some simple AI to start off with and hopefully build from there
>>740037458alright>what to start working on firstI would start with a square level and making the player controller. First the movement, then the camera following you and then shooting and whatever else. Once you have that, the enemies.>how to organize nodesnot complicated and even less so for a game like yours. Your player will be a CharacterBody3D, and it will contain the armature + mesh, the animation player, the animation tree, a colbox and not much else. Just throw the nodes in there.>what all the good organization/optimization practices areat the start I would advise to just apply common sense when it comes to the code, building a solid foundation so you don't end up with a ton of copy&pasted code nor a lot of if - else chains. Code it thinking in the future and making it as scalable and maintanable as possible. You could worry about particles and shaders pre-caching but it's fine to leave that for later on
crouching for light
>>740037759solid plan, thanks anongonna be my first time really making a game in godot
>>740038743np! good luck anon, and anything you need don't hesistate to ask. Shit can be daunting at first but once you get your footing and start making fast progress you'll be hooked to it

I wish I knew how to do everything myself because relying on other people kinda sucksWe all got our specialties but the anxiousness of waiting to see if a team mate delivers is not funAND I'm out of cigarettesAND I'm out of moneyle sigh

How do I make a game about relationships if I’ve never been in a relationship?
>>740034271$10 but I discount it pretty deep these days so realistically the game is like $3.
Does this character look too much like the gigachad meme? The story is a parody of JRPGs, so I figured I'd make the healer a buff, handsome guy instead of a cute, timid girl. He's not supposed to be Gigachad himself.Technically, the character's name is Chad, but I wouldn't be opposed to changing it if necessary.
>>740043046the left doesn't invoke gigachad a lot, but with beard it becomes very blatant
>>740043046It's fine without the beard, but he doesn't look all that buff with that huge head. Consider making his body larger.>The story is a parody of JRPGsGay, but you do you.
>>740043046use the one on the left, make the jaw more square, and name him Chet
>>740042729how often and how long can you put it on discount for?
>>740043046the beard makes it extremely obvious
>>740043679Sales and whenever I get into an event so I think that'll be 8 times this year.

>>740046760Oh hey I remember seeing that on v3 this Saturday
progress on the transformation, still need to add screens shake and some camera zoom. Thinking it needs max mana on all elements, plus this long animation. If a player manages to pull it off he gets an op transformation. Not really viable in completive play unless the opponent is a retard and it's more just for fun. If the opponent interrupts he can steal the philospher's stone and do the transformation himself.
>>740009987No visual update this week.Have been struggling with>NPC patrolling system (with marker nodes and named routes)>scenario script parser>animation and camera controls in dialogue script parser>new friendly NPC companion AI (Plink)Will soon be able to show him off in-game. You'll be able to pick him up and throw him, and he can pick items, crates, pots and gems for you.Eventually I want to make him a "little brother" coop character. He can't die, and will respawn just outside of view if he falls off a cliff. Can't attack, but can run around, jump, pick up stuff.Oh, and he'll carry your inventory, so you need to talk to him to open your inventory. Just pray your enemies don't pick him up and throw him out of reach when you need a potion.
>>740047349Really happy with how the patrolling system is coming together, by the way.>Just slap down nodes called R_A1, R_A2, etc. anywhere>snaps to surface>Give full command over each NPC instance through scenario script>Go to nearest point on Route A, continue until point 3, wait 3 seconds while turning left/right, then hurry to point 5, loop back to 3 and then go to nearest point on route B, etc.It's simple, but so neat
>>740041259You just start, pussy. While I make dorganzillions off of my game with my shitty graphics, you with all of your gifts will languish in obscurity.
>>740039374There's something off about your characters.Take a look at Samurai Gunn, 0Space, Anamaton, Spelunky (OG), Cave Story (OG), etc. Fancy animations are nice, but the characters themself lack appeal.
I wish I didn't have to do art.
>download unity>download free asset tps control>camera doesn't follow the characterDo yall beleive in curses?
>>740046732Its sad that you're so narrow minded, i would never take a car ride only horses for me thanks. my empathy towards your/ooting of your success tho
Holy shit they really do post the same. It really might be him.
>>740048326Why would I take your advice? You're a lolcow with the shittiest turd looking game nobody wants to play. I see you every single thread with the same retarded crap, shitting the threads instantly.
Was originally going to go for an old desktop look for the computer console but anything not abstract looks out of place, so I just decided to put a few rotating donuts in a cylinder and call it a day. During playtesting I had an issue where people were skipping the computer console entirely so they didn't read the story text logs they unlocked after each level, but I finally came up with a possible solution: force players to interact with it to unlock the doors to the next levels.>>740048852I feel you buddy.
>>740048974
>>740048974if you dragged/dropped into the base sample scene, then it'll most likely have a non cinemachine camera in the scene, which will override the one on the controller.>>740015354this turnd out super neat. i might not even need a lit materials anymore since the post processes can just sample that same texture array instead of doing it on the surface shader. all it needs is some information from the APV and spherical harmonics thing, which is super easy to access and my volume fog/lights reads from it alreadythe brushes are a little blurry on the raccoon but thats an easy fix, the painty shaders not using the regular data pass cus thats on my surface shader. in pic rel it's just Unity's default unlit shader.
>>740049394AI art doesn't introduce anything new. It's technology for creating mediocre stock photos and audio on the fly. The only thing that matter with AI art is more efficient expression of ideas, it is not beautiful, just like how stockslop is.
>>740050586Don't argue with pajeets.
>>740048642Characters aren't the main focus, the elements are the main thing. Also will take too long to redesign everything.
Stop making 2D games. 3D games are for high IQ chads.
Also: Pixel art is gay.

Go to bed goblin dev
>Go to bed, Fygo…wait I mean Gobli…no wait I mean…REEEEEEEEEEE!!!
>>740055783fagoon and goblin dev show similar behaviors i cannot blame the retarded spammer for getting them confused
>>740054623Kof 99 has less than 10 stages total, there are barely any other genres where you can get away with using a few static places where you can just pour all your resources into
Only thing to show this time.A cool background because I have no idea what to do with the background.Right now working on the foundation of the game so there will be a main loop when I'm done.Hopefully will get the build out this week so I can get some playtests going and decide on the next goal.Also there will be a chance for showcasing the demo in a local event on July.Think I'm gonna join that and get some playtests & exposures too.
If i added goblins to my game they would be based on mtg.
>>740055813Wait, which one is the retarded spammed and what are they spamming?
>>740019741>>740036808>>740048326Kill yourself rasko
>fagoon is actually a schizo with two personalities Funniest shit I've ever seen
>>740048326Don't you have to release a game for it make money? You can't even make progress, let alone ship a finished product.
>>740055981my goblins will just be a stand-in for jews.that's what they already are anyway
>>740035957>AI will only be good for generating art assetsAI is great for animation tweening. just check out cascadeur
>>740035957It's literally quite the opposite
>>740056663I think you still need a programmer but current AI is indeed really good at coding, and parsing through documentation.
>>740056885If you know enough about your software/code it makes some things a breeze, especially for initial layout of stuff. "I have this node tree with this, I need to attach a script to this that does this" you attach a picture of your node tree with the names of everything and it knows exactly what to name things in the code. Then you tweak from there.Things that used to take hours or reading documentation or googling replaced by a 30 second prompt.
>>740057065Yeah, often times you know what to write but actually laying down the code may take hours.The best use for AI is getting rid of tedious tasks such as these, and if art-centric AI tools did something similar for artists I think they would be more accepted.
>>740056238Wait what?
>>740057184AI tools can do things like that or can be used like that in art, but the issue is that authentic expression of the entire thing is kind of the point of it in the first place.also at least for music (the art I know the best) any work that could be stripped away, I don't want to be stripped away as there would be something missing in the creative process, which will change the outcome invariably.the only applicability I could see is having tools that help or automate production, mixing and mastering tasks. I personally don't care too much about that beyond making stuff not sound muddy or thin and having no instrument unnecessarily overpower the other.and such tools already exist.
more progress on transformation
>>740057184I make ai do dumb shit like build me a data table, i will fix the rows to my liking but do the mundane stuff for me.
>>740057308And i find arranging notes and melodies to be far more fun and rewarding than tweaking VST parameters and synths to get a perfect sound, thanks AI. If you know how to work with it you can get it to preserve your actual intent/feeling behind the track without raping it
>>740035559Everyone half decent has moved onto X and YouTube, nobody wants to be associated with this piss stain of a website. Plus, marketing wise, it's fucking horrendous posting here.
>>740057663i guess that can work. arranging and writing is my favourite part too. Though I also like looking for and tweaking the right sound at times.it's really up to if you want to be in control of your work fully or not, I suppose.although I haven't heard an AI generated part that wasn't spottable immediately. and for that alone (aside from my other reasons) I'd never even consider using these. what good is my writing, if people can immediately hear it's AI and dismiss it all, yknow?
>>740057843Us oldfags are all that remains of old 4chan, and that has to be worth something because websites don't leave ruins for future archaeologists.The /v/3 Steam event starts tomorrow so be there, or be square.
>>740057184I'm sure it could speed up something like UVs/textures which dont matter as much for art. Or animation rigging.
>>740058101Personally I think that texturing can be more than opening Substance Painter, especially for more stylized art styles.Rigging is a better example as most people rely on automatic weights and dislike weight painting.
>>740057307One of the anons noticed that fagoon and goblin dev do the exact same shit and post the same hours and everything. Also look who always posts first in these threads it's always either fagoon or goblin dev. Once you see it you can't unsee it.
>>740058234Yeah texturing can be more if you need it to be, especially a stylized game but for some stuff you can already get away with "x texture" google search results or simple things within blender etc. So going to AI and getting a unique texture and slapping it on something or having it do UV unwrap or something could save time I'm sure.
>>740058372Not to mention was the only one rasko wasn't lashing out at during his melty.
>>740058548I just figured he pinballed between people during his fits.
Any good Unity tutorials? I found myself having a lot of free time recently and I want to give gamedev a shot.
>>740058605Yeah he usually only targets 1 or 2 during his melties but specifically it's who he glazes when he's not having a meltie. Which is what I noticed in this thread as a similarity myself. When fagoon is being "friendly" to another dev and having a "normal response conversation" his tone is the exact same fake ass tone that goblin dev is using doing the same things. Avatar and everything...
>>740058640Just look up what you plan on wanting to do and go to youtube and the documentation and search how to do it in unity. There's no best practice way to do anything, just dip your toes in and get to work.
>>740058640catlike coding, a bit outdated in some places, but it's still a solid foundation.
Honestly, I'm trying to think back to when goblin dev showed up in threads and I'm pretty sure it is right on the money of when fagoon had his first big crash out lmfao. I'm wayyy too lazy and don't actually care enough to find out but if one of you autistic fuckers could go look in archives and confirm that'd be cool.
Ok which devs are fagoon so I know who to stop replying to?
>>740058438I mean it's not really unique but the fight about stolen assets was lost a long time ago.You could also ask the AI to give you a procedural texture instead using shaders. AI is ok at vibecoding shaders.
>>740058957It's a fight that never made sense. Textures are pretty much universal like, a brick is gonna be a brick, dirt is gonna be dirt. There's ways to differentiate what you're doing and the output can change as well with how you are actually using the final assets but a random base line png isn't really important. In fact, multiple times I've used pictures I've taken in real life as the start for a texture because it's just fucking easier. Having AI morph a unique new "tree bark" or whatever isn't a bad thing it's just saving time.
>>740059032I don't know about that, I appreciate texture autism. Some people see some dirt while walking around and think "this is the perfect dirt for my 4K texture pack".It's like sound effect autism. There are people out there who find a broken mop and a bucket and think "this would make a great slicing meat sound".
>>740058953The goblin guy, same attention whoring style rasko uses.
>>740059423k?

>>740059335Why would he make up an entirely different persona and even make a fake game with it
>>740059754Is the persona really that different? They do the exact same shit. Same with the game, it's the same shit.
>>740059956I dont buy it.
>>740059754>Why would he make up an entirely different persona and even make a fake game with itYou may have noticed he barely does any work with the balloon animal game since he realized he fucked up by making enemies out of everyone.
>>740060209shut up fagoon
>>740060251I dont pay much attention to the devs from here to be honest.
>>740060251This. He hasn't actually made progress on the game in over a year. He just avatarfags with it.
>>740059335Really? This shit again?Having talked with both in private, they are definitely not the same guy. If you think otherwise, you're an idiot. Can we now stop gossiping like /agdg/?
>>740060623The more attention you give to the singular agdg shitposter pushing this, the longer it will remain around. the truth doesn't matter to it.
>>740060623...why would you talk with either in private? And how does that make it not the same person?
>>740060756I've been on private servers where either are members, I mean.>how does that make it not the same personCause they don't act alike at all?
>>740060785>being on private servers outside of 4changrim>Cause they don't act alike at all?Not what I'm seeing when I compare their posts.
>>740060785Doubt it. You're probably fagoon too.
>>740061141He loves to do damage control as other fake anons so I wouldn't be surprised.

>>740063473well if you have no friends or connections then yeah you kinda dostill didn't stop 13 year old me from making stopmotion movies with lego
>>740063473>at and get others to handle the rest?yeah, or just use free assets
>>740047140Looks good but the moment the stone falls which starts the transformation is way way too understated, I even missed it the first time watching it. I get that since it's interruptible and the stone is not part of a single animation but rather its own separate entity it falls with gravity, but maybe it should only do so if you're interrupted, while if not it could follow a more "explosive" sequence. That goes for the actual transformation too, it's a 5 second build-up but when it actually happens it's pretty subdued, making it more explosive would feel like a better payoff to the 5 seconds you just risked. It could even do actual damage/knockback, then at least you know that you invest 5 seconds but if you do manage to pull it off you get some breathing room.Also this almost certainly looks better when actually playing than in a shitty compressed 4mb webm (hiromoot is a fag) but 80% of the visual is taken up by the rocks, I can see the water, fire, and some air going into it but maybe they should be more prominent so it really looks like it's 4 elements merging.>>740048642>>740051594The characters remind me of the shadows from Heart of Darkness a bit. Not having detail on them is fine, but that makes the elements even more important. I think your main problem is visual clarity with the background, which looks great but bright as it is makes it hard to see some things, especially some elemental effects. I was going to say that the highlighted area in pic could have darker details BUT your characters are black shapes with outlines so that might make things worse (though it would make light elements like fire, air, and even water pop way more).
>>740035559You're looking at the actual amateur level of gamedev, the type of thing you'd see on old forums dedicated to the hobby. The algorithm-centric shitholes you're comparing this to highlight the more skilled/experienced devs, often with teams, or working full-time, or with years of experience behind their belt or any combination of above.
