>>747566417>How's that game development going, anon? You ARE making your own game, right?I'm trying to make a little game for my senior project, just a prototype. The problem is that despite four years of learning about concepts of programming and having some experience with Java, it feels like the only thing they ever taught me was how to fuck with arrays. Every class was just "welcome to (programming thing) in this course i will teach you new ways you can fuck with arrays" so the most programming experience I have is fucking with arrays. It doesn't help that every single professor in the compsci department is some flavor of middle easterner or indian with severe english problems, with the rare asian professor. As you can imagine, the adian professors are probably the only ones I can confidently say actuslly know how to teach and understand what they're teaching. No other student has had anything nice to say about a non-asian professor, and I've asked quite a few in each class for their opinions. I don't even want to go into the tech sector, I fucking hate what it has become, and honestly speaking, they don't want me anyway. They want someone they can import from India for slave wages. As you can imagine, it's pretty hard to stay motivated knowing that this is all in service of a pointless degree and an eternity of waiting for employers to call me back about those totally real entry level positions they posted on Indeed that weren't filled by an Indian before they ever listed the job.
>>747566417so now that godot is FINALLY getting texture streaming, does it make it usable for large 3D games?
>>747567079Wow that's strange I learned to make actual functional applications within first month of starting programming studies. Now I have over 10 years of experience professionally.
I have the concept of a plan.

>>747566913Elder scrolls doesn't sell because it has good combat, it sells because it's a sandbox open world game with a medieval fantasy setting and no one else makes a D&D style first person RPG. Warhammer fantasy is just leaving money on the table, vermintide proved that people want first person fantasy action games. Tainted grail is the only thing I have seen that comes close, but it's not D&D style and you don't get to choose a race, however it is very enjoyable.

>>747572191if you use C# you might as well use AOT, Godot supports it from what I recall. Though it isn't 100% foolproof security, but if someone really wanted to they'd need to use a disassembler like IDA to get your code.

making a missile guy
I'm trying to make a good game, but got stuck in the first phase already. That is, trying to make the animations. It seems animation is the one thing AI can't even come close of doing it right yet, and it probably won't for a long time, not until visual analysis is significantly improved and inference speed is significantly faster. Don't see it happening until they get these new super fast inference chips like TAALAS, CEREBRAS or GROQ rolled out in large scale. This is the results I got from the METAHuman Animator Markerless Video to Mocap thing, with literally the clearest video example possible. The thing absolutely sucks for anything related to locomotion, despite what shills on youtube are saying. Maybe it can give reasonable results from completely static scenes where you barely move around, maybe even some karate kicks and other fighting moves, but as soon as you start to move around the place don't expect anything usable. Does anyone with any experience in this type of stuff could give me a tip or two? Currently I'm about to give up on doing my own animations for now, going to buy a few motion capture packs from the internet to move forward with the game. It's a bit disheartening because they won't be exactly what I want and the animations are the most important part of a videogame.
night vision goggles. >>747576161thats basically what super monkey ball is and those games were pretty fun when i was a kid

>>747575708How did you make the animations?
>>747573180yes, since you can't really do shit about the 3rd worlders who took your game and ported it to xbox, playstation, and/or switch for a quick buck.you can report them and hopefully they get removed, but they already got the money and can just start up a new shell studio to continue their grift like nothing happened.
>>747577346>good rpg>DnDBoy, I hope no one from /tg/ is lurking here because you will need to roll for pic related if they hear you say that.
>>747577636Pose-to-pose for the attacks, straight-ahead for the standing damage animations, and then normal real time ragdollsI'll do proper full-length tutorials when my YT gets bigger.
>>747574642ive applied a lot of attention on optimizing GI for dynamic fixtures, fast and low memory (less than one megabyte per furnished room), and should be able to hasten it further with sparse sampling and focused dense sampling. i also have some ideas for fast indirect bouncing of dynamic lights. it's actually deciding on hacks and tradeoffs in the direct lighting/shadowing that im least certain on and where that toy renderer eats most of its GPU time
>>747572191>>747571270Honestly as long as you modify godot to move the encryption key in a different address space and not having it be in plain text then you should be good.Basically as long as you can brick the Godot RE tools to work with your game you're cockblocking 99% of scriptkiddies.
How is godot for 2d games
>>747578150Great and easy
>>747577197There are supposed to be more enemies and weapons, including ranged. You get access to special attacks and using a lot of these gives you a buff and plays a sexy animation.There are some minigames and a bit of platforming if you want sexytime animations.It's not too complex.>>747577413Thanks, I'm working on it>>747577053Definitely, in demo
I'm making art and music for an rpg game like Octopath should I use godot or just use rpg maker? I'm not a fan of rpg maker because it makes very laggy games, but I don't know shit about coding besides a bit of javascript, tho I am willing to learn if it's not super hard

>>747577574You mean to use them as placeholder? Those would look pretty bad for a finished game in my opinion, while something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPeRp8FhR8c would almost be good enough for an isometric view game at least. What sort of cleanup do they need in your experience?
How is cursor for godot or unity and using ai slop to make a game
>>747576189Don't try to make animations >>747577079Or do try and tell me how you made it work. Everything else is probably fine. Just start.
I'm making a 3d game in a framework not normally suitable for games (but it will have anime girls!)ChatGPT helped me vibe code a .glb importer with skinning and animation support, good shit
>>747578602Friend of mine slopped up a quake 1 clone with a bazillion game modes, unlagged network, proximity voice chat, VRM model supports with full body tracking for VR users in like 3 days.Basically fire the slop canon long enough and you'll get useable shit. >>>/vg/580650631At first the prejudice was "Oh yeah there's not enough Godot project for the borg to feed itself so it won't be able to do shit" but oh boy were we wrong.
>>747577079Anon, the "first phase" of making any game is writing down your concept for it and then reading it on the next day.Animations are like 100th phase
>>747578497>What sort of cleanup do they need in your experience?Literally everything. The beginning/end is rarely correctly done, often it's the entire sequence with the wearer scratching his nose and stuff.Looping stuff need A LOT of manual adjustement because even "naturally cycling" stuff like walking never properly line up on itself.There is always at least one marker that just decide to not register and need to manually added. And one marker that does register but go fucking whack for one frame.Actual end position for feet/hand is rarely correct, often you actually get the ankle/wrist instead, and that offset everything.If that package already cleaned up everything then go for it.But at least back when I tried a few (was nearly a decade ago so things might have improved a lot, dunno) any pack titled "motion capture" was raw as fuck and not ready-to-use at all.
Game is showing particle effects for attacks and the enemies recoil in pain.

>>747576748I feel like that jump animation is way too overanimated. It'll get tiring for something that the player will be doing constantly
>>747577079Are you working in 2D?>motion capture packsGuess notCould you take videos of you acting your animation from front + side and use those as basis for your keyframes and/or feed them into your AI?e.g. https://youtu.be/uUfVidxYIsY
>>747566417yes im still working but its a twine game not a godot game
>>747580532>Could you take videos of you acting your animation from front + side and use those as basis for your keyframes and/or feed them into your AI?That's kinda what I'm trying to do, but instead of feeding the video to a LLM I feed it to this program called MetaHuman Animator which uses a specifically trained machine learning model to solve the 3d body positions in each frame from a 2d video. But it doesn't work right. I'll try to feed it directly to CODEX directly, but I don't think it will work. It would probably be too expensive too, these games with good animations have thousands of them, like in MGSV Ground Zeroes Big Boss has around 800 animations for locomotion with carefully authored transitions. Making a 2D video game would be a lot easier, you could basically just use the video itself.
>>747570650kino, how did you get the animated faces working?
>>747577703Alright what should I look into if I want to give people a good rpg? Other than rpg vidya.
I'm done posting here you guys are fags.
>>747582236Nobody liked seeing your posts anyway. How often do you post the same bullshit over and over again and STILL consider yourself a dev? Got old really fast. Good riddance.
>>747581637hey anon! the mouth has it's own material, and it's texture is an atlas with the different mouths the character uses. During dialog, I change the UV offset of that material to display one mouth or another. I do the same for the eyes to do the facial expressions.
>>747578969No the first phase is establishing what you can and can't do, then make a concept within that.Or are all your concepts just stolen from other games who did establish a realistic concept so that you don't feel you need to do this first?I remember Rare devs being super excited because they made a triangle appear, that was the first step.
>>747582236see you tomorrow :)
>>747582236Did I say something wrong?
>>747582146The first thing to understand is that there is no "better" RPG system, there are only RPG system designed to do something specific.A system designed to do slow, methodical investigation will probably be garbage if you want to do some high-octane post-apo trading.A system designed to do dungeon diving exclusively will probably be garbage if you want to do more classical adventures (DnD goes here).The aforementioned F.A.T.A.L system is objectively shit not because it's edgy, but because nothing fucking work for what it's trying to do (and it's trying to do everything).So the first lesson is to think really hard about what should matter in your game:Are the characters stats the main deciding factor?Is it gear instead?Does the situation or player creativity impact success a lot?Is it RNG heavy and managing risk is the true skill?Is RNG only there so the damage numbers aren't always the same?Is there resource management and how hard & long term is it?How large is the difference in power between a kid fresh out of his village and a veteran of an hundred adventure?How often does supernatural stuff happen? Is it just following standard "mundane" games rules or does it get special resolutions for everything?etcBasically, you need the "gameplay vibe" first. Then you can start looking for/brainstorming rules & formula that will actually achieve that feel.

>>747584563no...
>>747579998Hm, maybe I should make it faster. I don't think it's possible to make a high jump animation minimalistic. Do you have an example?
>>747566417>2D card gameAt that point why don't you just design cards?
>>747584789It's not the speed, it's the complexity of it.Either you make a ton of alternative animations with the same complexity, each one being randomly chosen at each jump, or you just make it simpler.It's too complex a movement for an action that gets performed once every 2 seconds>Do you have an example?Any good 3D platformer

Decided to remake the player character from scratch to streamline the momentum logic.Just got hung up for 30 minutes though because I was using super() to use a previous version of the function that returns a new state but super() itself doesn't actually return anything and instead just runs the function. 30 minutes of testing and scratching my head just for it to be some basic concept I never learned...Not even upset, honestly really love debugging and learning. But yeah, hoping to get some custom sprites soon, so hopefully will have something to post in these threads soon.

>>747577096(you)ing myselfbut does anyone know why transforms in blender might not work how I'd think they should when imported into Unity?I made a lens cover diaphragm thing for the night vision goggles that works well in Blender, did all of the apply rotation/transforms, and set the origin so it should rotate.... but in Unity it'll shift in world space as it rotates :(not a huge deal since it cant be seen very well in-game anyway, but I wanna figure it out since I have ~20 more gadget models to make and 12 of them have animations like the goggles do.
I got the basic mechanics for the battle system mostly figured out, so the next thing I started working on was the behavior of the enemy units. Once I get that finished, the game should be "playable".
>>747589501And the other thing which I can't remember if I've posted in a gamedev thread is the game in exploration mode. Obviously both of these sides of the game could still use a lot of work, but I love seeing everything fall into place.

You only need one piece of good-looking artwork and you don't need it to animate or look good from multiple angles. Hiring an artist for that would just be misguided moralfagging at this point. If you truly can't get over yourself, then just git gud at photo editing. It would be stone cold retarded to drop thousands of dollars on .pngs that probably won't even end up how you want that you could instead just gen over and over as many times as you need for free

>>747590128Game is completed. It is more like a beta a week before full release. A week of people pointing out extra things to fix. If anybody even plays.Nobody wanted to play the game with me irl, so I made my own singleplayer version. Then added multiplayer as well.
It's going well! I am finally finished with editing the entire script for Cliax Codec, so now the creator is busy implementing the final chapter's cutscenes with all the words and sounds and unique events. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that I'm finally done with it. He thinks the ending in particular is a big improvement, which I'm happy to hear.Also here's a pointless but fun change: when you fall into a pit in space levels, the PC starts to burn up. Kinda tricky to take a screenshot of that though but you get the point.
>>747589501that feels like too much menuing, no way to streamline that?
would it be possible to make an isometric rpg (real time combat) if I know nothing about coding and can't make assets and art
>>747591787no
>>747591837ok then
im working on a degrees-of-lewdity type game in twine (but with real imagery). Any feature suggestions? i can pretty much make anything but im horribly uncreative. What i have now is pretty much like any other generic twine porn game.
ChatGPT, make Football Manager, but themed around a D&D adventure guild instead of a football theme. Make no mistakes.
>>747591787Yes, just use AI
>>747592091That sounds like it could be fun. As long as it is not written by millennials.
Progress, but nothing terribly exciting.Modeled a new treasure chest for one of the zones.Finally got around to adding the ability to choose items within dialogues, went a little easier than I though it would once I got my head around it. Dialogue system was one of the first systems I wrote, so it's got a few bad / confusing code flows in it. Also wrote up the relevant behavior tree tasks to go along with it, mostly to check if player has items of type and remove selected items once used.Also added a new system that automatically sets up traps on chests using a generic chest actor, so I don't have to make 6x of them for each zone. Added a new item that lets the player auto-succeed at disarming traps.Additionally added some extra code to the weather management system that sends some flavor update text when the weather changes, both to set the mood and give players a warning of what the new weather is without having to check manually.Next up is a few rounds of playtesting to catch bugs in all the new stuff I added, and get the wrinkles ironed out.
>>747589754Huh, I saw a project on Github with the exact same name. Is this related to that?
>>747577072someone said you were a local when bombun was in next fest but I've never seen you around. I guess he was right.
>>747591685Yeah, the UI and controls in general are really clunky at the moment. I want to get to that eventually, but right now I just want the actual game to work.
>>747587909a lot, mtg pays 500 dollars per card art to no names. realistically you'd be paying whatever an artist's rendered illustration price is, which can range from 20 to 200 dollars depending on the artist. >>747588113any artist taking commissions will advertise it quite openly on their socials
>>747570650Thats sick, goblin dev is gonna make it
>>747591787 I think the effect is generally prettier with 2D art than with 3D models, but if you go for true 2D it's a lot of assets to create. Basically every sprite is going to require a minimum of 5 alternates if you want a character to face 8 directions. Plus you also have to deal with technical questions like how to handle occlusion since rendering order isn't as straight forward as with other perspectives, and things can get especially difficult if you want to add verticality. If you're looking for a reference of what your project could look like I saw this recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29I27vQM15o . He gives some good explanations of how set up a tile-based world with verticality although it's a bit cookie cutter and the dev's been working on it for like 3 years now without much of a game to show.I also have a similar project but it has even less content
>>747585570Sad you're wasting all this skill on someone's IP when you could be starting your own legend instead. You could be the next sweetheart dev everyone aspires to be
>>747593804Kind of agree with this anon, thats too much to waste on a fan game, switch out some sprites and backgrounds and Kickstart the next part of your life homedawg
>>747593514thanks anon. So far it's been very fun to make those. This one's still wip but have a look
>>747566417Two months ago I did a bunch of blender models & godot stuff but I realized the whole project was directionless. Wanted a basic ass 3d dungeon crawler with 2d monster sprites existing on the map itself instead of random encounters. Probably a bad idea that won't work, still want to try.One endless chain of txt files later, I think I have a proper setting that makes all the other stuff have a reason to exist. 300 more steps and I'll have a screenshot to post in the thread.
>>747593804>>747594238Not that anon but the point of a fangame is to have a lot of "free exposure". Many artists make fan art only to get bigger audiences easily. My most seen pic in deviantart is a Captain America fantart
>>747594438>doesn't even give the dude a chancewhere is the player agency bro??
>>747594795this isn't an SMT game dude
>>747566417give into despair and diey/n?
>>747566417What's the point of learning to do any of this when AI can do it for you?
>>747595219it canta shitty sphagetti coded demo of minecraft =/= minecraft
>>747566417Why don't you just ask Claude to make it for you?
>>747595219To learn how to get AI to make it for you, dumbass. You can't just prompt "make a game for me" yet, you ask for features or exact functions and you need to be able to prompt for things explicitly and troubleshoot intelligently. You can't do that if you know literally nothing.
>>747566417It's going great.
>>747566417how's this engine going? how's the performance compared to unity? how useful is compared to the other ones?
>>747596381they are just about to add texture streaming in the next major updateit works for simpler 3D games but if you want open world you either mess with the internals of the engine yourself or just wait longer for the tools to be built in in however many years
>>747596315>ponut tech
>>747566417Spent last night making road platforms and street props for the city sections
>>747596651
>>747596785How many blur filter are you running dude wth
>>747596651>>747596785In game
>>747596315this anon's going places
>>747596947theres just one lol, the depth of field is pretty shallow when not in game because it calculates the focal distance based on a ray trace from the player camera
>>747597079do you have some TAA running as well? it's way too soft in the foreground I thinkwtf do I know i'm an angry boomer anyway all the new kids love dlss and shit
>Every 5 hours you get to increase productivity 100x for like 40 minutesfeelsbad but also good.
>>747596315nice
>>747597213only FXAA to smooth out the outlines on everything, it does make the image less crisp but the outlines are crazy jagged without it
does goblindev have a steam page yet?
I feel bad for anyone making a networked game in Godot unless you're a pro at hardening your code, since everyone will have access to the source to exploit.
>>747570650very nice goblino, i also have been messing around with face rigs, I trying to see if I can get away with just a few expressions and mouth shapes instead of the crazy 58 blend key rigs people use now
>>747597786nice! should be fine as long as you can interpolate between those poses
how do I use ai slop for graphics and level designis unity or godot better?I don't mind paying the 200 or 300 a month
>>747597427not yet! I'm waiting until I have more content (and a proper title) to make a proper anouncement with a cool trailer and a fresh Steam page. My idea is to release both the trailer and the steam page at the same time so the steam page gets visits the moment is created, which I guess must be good fot the algorithm
>>747597223i wish it was as frequent as 5 hours
>>747597942Just call it "The Goblin Game", if you market right with big colorful fonts and shit i think that would hit
the other day discovered this guy making a couple of feminisation porn games in godotcool stuff
>>747597786>instead of the crazy 58 blend key rigs people use nowIt only takes a couple hours to do that via sculpting, since half of it is just mirrored variants or can be blended+tweaked from another shape/morph to save some work. I wouldn't wish to do it on everything though, just the main character and anything prominent in a cutscene. It's actually crazy what all we can do for facial capture these days on a hobbyist budget and a single half-decent webcam due to the software advancements in image matching.
>>747598046yee but im cheating and just using the facial poses from fuse and combining them as blendspaces
>>747577072ok its working, I need to figure out a couple things for polish but its good already.
>>747597942I'm going to be mean but it's really to be nice. Stop being so fucking dumb. Make the page. You're missing out on free wishlists. Get some nice screenshots, get some gifs, make your steam page and let it start accumulating. You're better off dropping your trailer when you've got 300 wishlists than when you have 0. Your title should absolutely be reminiscent of Dragon's Dogma too. Some fucking Goblin's Gambit type shit.
>>747598158Is there going to be a general sprint so I'm not playing it like a spazz jump boosting everywhere for faster movement?
My main issue is the animation work, or more than that is the rigging. When I was animating shit 1' years ago the rigging was a real pain in the ass.My animations were shit but I at least could animate if the rigging was complete. I've been meaning to work on my project all this time but I just keep postponing it.
>>747598180>I'm going to be meanno worries anon, I appreciate the honesty. Thing is to make a cool looking Steam page I need to have more content. If I'd make it now, all I'd be able to show is the demo scenario and a few enemies, which isn't much. I know I'm missing on some wishlists but that doesn't worry me, it's not like I'm releasing the game next year nor probably the next one, so the Steam page can wait a few more months (but not many, promise)
>>747597942you should keep (project goblin) at the end if you change the itch title.
>>747598314>If I'd make it now, all I'd be able to show is the demo scenario and a few enemiesSo? Here's a wakeup call.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4366780/Maskborne/One 45 second teaser that consists of 5 shots of running from left to right, one scene of dialogue and one story hook moment at the very end. No gifs. 7 screenshots. About 8 lines of text explaining the game. 30,000 wishlists in 7 days.
I'm taking a break from game dev this weekend to make some loli models after crunching to get my demo presentable for SAGE.My Steam page is also awaiting approval and it should be up some time this coming week.
>>747598618nta but wishlists for indie games mean nothingMost indies get over 500x the amount of wishlists compared to buys
>>747596315just replace it with a mosaic like those horrible nipponese devs
>>747598301there is a charged dash you can extend, and speed pads.
>>747597223Is that how quickly you bust claude's 5 hour limits?
>>747596172This isn't going to age well
>>747598698>wishlists for indie games mean nothingutter nonsense. Numbers increase numbers. That's a known fact. Every single time you tweet out a "WE SOLD 1000 COPIES" your sales get a bump. Same applies to wishlists. People love milestones and feeling like they're part of them. And even if you did get 500x wishlists over buys, that's 60 more buys you wouldn't have had if you didn't put out the steam page when you did. If you're committed to releasing the game, the steam page should go up early as fuck.
>>747598694Waiting to wishlist it
>>747598618appreciate it, but really, I'm not in a rush
>>747598926My apologies for using realityI will let you continue hopemaxing
>>747599038You have never released a game. You don't know what reality is. Hopemaxxing IS reality.
>>747596470and for 2d games? how good is compared to unity and game maker?
It's been 5 weeks, going pretty smooth so far. It's much easier than I expected and I'm not losing interest, which I was worried about before starting.
>>747598618plenty of epic go viral games that flop.there's SOME demand for hollow knight likes but the market is saturated. getting 30k in a week is NOT the average result someone should expect.
>>747574817There are two ways to do C++ in Godot.You can make a module that you compile directly into the engine, or you can use GDExtension to make a DLL.The advantage of GDExtension is you can make code changes without restarting the editor, but I've found it fiddly, and it's not much faster than GDScript in typical usage, since every call across the DLL boundary has significant overhead to resolve methods using the same mechanism as the scripting.I'd recommend prototyping in GDScript, and porting anything compute-intensive to a module once you've found it impacts performance.
>>747599919>corrupt or unplayable videoWell, fuck you too, Mr. 4chan Anonymous.
>>747598618it's because it looks like that other gay game that was successful. soulfagg or something.
1 more day to submit to itch.io showcase
>>747600321Beat (((em))) up
https://store.steampowered.com/app/939360/Pixel_FX_Designer/thinkin about buying this. anyone use it or have experience with similar programs? I've found that I really don't like doing pixel art much and I get hung up on it a lot. I've considered swapping the entire project to 3D since I have some minor experience modeling/texturing (from modding stuff) but it's a whole other skillset to learn and 3D asset packs seem a lot more expensive than 2D stuff.
>>747600532kekI was just testing out blend shapes this way.
>>747600569Only go for 2D if you really, really like the artstyle and think it is important for the game. 3D mogs it in every way
>>747596483careful with that word usage here anon, you dont wanna attract barneyfag here do you
>>747599361it isn't as bloated as unity and more powerful than gamemaker so IMO it is better than both at 2D
>>747577072>>747598158>>747598797your character movement looks so smooth, did you follow a tutorial?
>>747600321I can see the original video, you're good.>>747600667>textures>shader base/filters/masks3d requires 2d too.>>747600569Someone once shared those with me, contains this app plus othershttps://files.catbox.moe/u9c5y2.zip
>>747590959i thought this game already came out?
I was doing ok until I started learning Blender for 3d modelling + animation. Now, I don't know if I wanna keep learning or just hire someone to do it for me
>>747600714the cannon feels really nice. goog gob anon
>>747601279Nope, it's coming out in early October. There IS a demo on Steam thobeit
>>747596651>>747596785>>747596957looks gorgeousany chance to add more stealth kill animations?
>>747601505Yeah i've got like a ridiculous amount of animation packs for the unreal skeleton, just gotta get around to actually implementing them
>>747601373thanks anon
>>747601136hey, thanks
>>747601136>3d requires 2d too.Yes but you only need to texture it once in 3D. Unless you are going to make a card game or a turn based RPG with static sprites or something like that, 3D is an huge time saver. But I wouldn't blame you if you wanted 2D for the style and not because you think it will be faster.
>>747598797Is this going to be like a sequel
>>747597341I could use this in my game, I even have an icon for it.
>>747600569is this just a particle system that exports to a spritesheet with a pixel filter over it? blender can do that for free, hell you could just set this up on godot with the default particle nodes and a pixel filter screen shader and just record the screen
>>747602249>Yes but you only need to texture it once in 3D. Unless you are going to make a card game or a turn based RPG with static sprites or something like that, 3D is an huge time saver.This is basically my problem. There's a shitzillion cheap, good looking 2d assets available for the world, but animating a character is a giant pain in the ass. Rigging is kind of annoying but you only have to do it once per character and adjusting animations isnt as bad, but I'd have to actually model every little doodad or whatever that goes in the world, since buying them would quickly get prohibitively expensive.
For someone who's been in tutorial hell for programming for the last 3 years, what do you recommend to actually get into videogame programming?
>>747601105no, not for movement. I'm making shit up as I go.
>>747603372Your dream game and use AI to guide you when you get stuck
>>747568249Based and presidential pilled. Keep it up.
>>747602456yes
>>747603609Thanks.
>>747596470what constitutes simpler? is it enough to make something like mario 64
anybody knows where I can get some outer space seamless skyboxes?
>>747605378https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHPzrbGyiYM
Im making a game
>>747605661Keep it up, anon!
>>747605629thanks anon. Already found a bunch that suits my needs but I'm saving that video in case I need more later on
godot or unity for someone getting into it
>>747607263godot is simpler and less padded with shit
>>747607263Wokot is trash and owned by commie retards
>>747604478probably anything up to PS3 tier graphics can be done without many issues in it, if you want more/ultra realism might have to look into unity or unreal
I'm learning to make a game
>>747588985>>747587982>>747589864
any idea on how this miniboss transition and the scene it takes place on could be improved?
>>747595219>>747598924>>747595587>
>>747608430Hi R*ddit ;)
>>747596470>if you want open world you either mess with the internals of the engine yourself or just wait longer for the tools to be built in inYou(An individual) are not going to make an open world game that doesn't run like shit even if you use Unreal, Unity.This has always been the most fucking stupid argument against Godot.No shit it is impossible/inefficient to do something that you shouldn't even do in the first place because it is far beyond the scope of a single~sub 20 development team unless you're that guy that ported his temu STALKER project from Unity to Godot.
>>747609015internet said I'm not allowed to like amogus guy because he's a nazi
>>747608430Trannies hate AI thoughbeit because elon musk likes it
>>747609335You can't even do proper closed world games because the engine doesn't have the tools for it, you have to use janky addons that were last updated years ago or roll your own. The engine needs a proper foliage/scatter system that bypasses all the node/scene tree bullshit.Still it's fine for small scope games. I wish they would work on proper content authoring tools or a proper visual node system that you can build on to script events and drive NPC behavior. Trying to do behavior trees via code is a fucking nightmare and the addons just spam the scene tree full of bullshit.
>>747595219there are people those who possess excess soul and those who possess excess melanin.
>>747566417i cant decide on a fucking engine>godot is jeetware>unity is jeetware++ plus fees>not even going to bother with unreal>dont want to waste time making my own SDL/opengl engine garbagewhat the fuck to do at this point
>>747611708>>godot is jeetwareI'd have believed you if you said troonware, but if it works it works, just use it and never interact with the community
>>747608598faster zoom out + radial blur and (very slight) screen shake. No idea how to accomplish these in 3d. When Cultist-san waves his arms out you want the crash zoom to happen and complete pretty much instantaneously, shake + blur linger for a beat longer.
>>747608598Holy fuck that's cool...Maybe you could make the cosmos orb inside out, and scale it up while it fades out to see if you can make the transition more seamless. But it does look really good already so maybe just move on?
>>747612383>>747612440thanks anons! Those are some pretty cool ideas. No idea how to do the blur either lol, but I'll try
>>747612153i dont understand why they insist on their shitty izzat wannabe javascript language instead of just using standard javascript or another real fucking language
>>747612153>if it works it worksyeah, this is what sane people think
>>747611576why do you have excess melanin?
>>747612601Sunk cost, and Godot's "devs" aren't paid to make their engine better, they are paid to continue existingThe engine is open source so anybody could've made Godot in fucking OCaml or whatever the fuck they desire but haven't. Because1. They aren't paid to2. They are using their hobby made engine already.3. Despite how many fuckers cry about its inefficiency that stem from interpretation layers like the post by a redditor(or it was github. same shit) that used to get spammed on /v/ which was complaining about GDScript over an intentionally made shitty scenario that people will borderline never create except bullet hells at best, nobody fucking cares.
>>747612601at least there is the option to use other langs even if the focus on gdscript does cripple a lot of the potential of the engine
>make ai music>boooo faggot you suck!>ok>split instrument tracks >export each track to an ai sheet music generator >import into fl studio>make 1 tweak>no more ai music, fully copyright capable. Fuck you fags.
>>747615076do any of the generators actually produce separate instrument tracks yet? Always seemed weird to me that they aren't just genning midi files.
>>747615234Yes
>>747566417i moved my game stuff to a new project folder and it broke everything so i have to fix it
>>747615076>use ai to generate a tile-able asphalt texture because all of the ones currently available look like shit and I could spend that minute working on literally anything else>"T-The entire project is compromised now. Your game is slop."Happy as a clam to see that more companies that made their favorite game of the week admit that they used AI. People bitching and moaning about how people generated a fucking leaf, or generate text that was never meant to be read like Lorem Ipsum, deserve to be grouped with the fucking morons that is Sony's playtesters or QA that demanded Insomniac to remake New York and add reflections to puddles despite the fact that nobody fucking cares except dipshits that subscribe to Crowbcat.
>>747615891It is a great feeling always mentioning this. I cant wait for my game to succeed because of it.
It's so unusual how AI dudes LOVE to tell everyone how easy it is to use it and be successful. You would think they would prefer to keep the secrets to their success to themselves, we're so lucky that they're so selfless!
