Is anyone here making puzzle games?
Donuts are still 40% off. I hope they go back to regular price because I'm not supposed to be eating them but they make the value proposition irresistible.I'm now working on updates to my existing games. They're making barely any money now but maybe I can use them for cross-promotion. I hope so because I have no other avenues. My game is getting no attention on social media or Youtube or Tiktok so my existing players are my best bet to get the dented half melted ping pong ball rolling. There I go being a doomer again. Disallowed.141 days left. I owe 15 hours to my game.>>566484772The biggest puzzle is why am I doing this at all.
>>566484550do you got more info on how to achieve that?
>>566484772Puzzles only sell on phones
Haven't done gamedev in 3 years, how is godot 3D these days?
>>566485150No
>make some slopshit>add bobs and vagene (optionally make it tranime)>go viral on social media with it>profitso this is indie gamedev now, huh.
>>566485545Same as before
>Old me>Face a problem>Come to /agdg/ for help, people here are retarded>Go online for solution>Indian tutorial is shit>New me>Face a problem>Go to AI for help>It even writes me the codes and tell me how it works>Learnt something new and also get functioning features
>>566486076I should do this.
Is 3D art easier than 2D? I would be satisfied with my skills if I was able to model and rig OSRS tier graphics

>>566486076Hot women has more than a century of marketing research that sex sells anon.
>>566486076motor slice looked good, but the goon stuff put me off, so no buy, might have sold better without it.
>>566486289>might have sold better without it.it entered the "le obscure hidden gem" category for steamies, it arguably sold better than it should've
is there any character asset packs with characters with similar artstyle to Final fantasy from 10 to 15 or korean mmorpgs? i'm searching and finding nothing but cartoon or generic anime>but FF is animei don't know i like FF style but can't stand the bandai namco style or the genshin gacha style shit
>>566484225>Since I'm making a movement game now, do I have to start taking estrogen?You people are just making up stereotypes now
im making a boomer shooter do i have time to start beating my wife?
im making a zoomer shooterdo i have time to troon out?
>>566486232>Is 3D art easier than 2D?No. It actually adds extra layers of unexpected difficulty. With 2D art you always make it look better by rendering a little more, pushing colors furthers etc. In 3D it's indirect and done through million formulas, so the result is hard to predict unless you've made a lot 3D art before.People only put up with it because animating 3D is a lot more efficient.
>>566487504Depends, do you dress more like Romero or more like Carmack?
>china can single handedly put you on steams top sellers
>>566487814romeroi dont want a succubus wife bros...

Should i make a dark and serious game or a whimsical goofy game
yikes
>>566488090Dark and serious.
>>566488090this is not the time for goofing. dark and serious.

the eurotards all died.... /agdg/ is dead again................
>>566486232>>5664878093d has this weird side of it that it's a lot more manageable to someone who doesn't have an artistic background. It's much easier to make passable 3d art imo. The problems come when you're trying to make a full 3d game and the amount of assets and polish it needs to look good.
>>566486409Isn't this the one where the dev is like "you can parry a nuclear bomb". A bunch of their posts went viral on twitter
>>566486232it OSRS is your goal, you will be there after <1 month of practice
>>566491318no. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2063390/VA_Proxy/
china isn't picking up the news that my game existshow do I attract their attention? I don't care if they review bomb me later
>>566486529not many from what I've seenmaybe there might be some hidden away in some obscure japanese or korean asset stores but I don't know where to even begin looking for thosethere is this artist/sellerhttps://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/fantasy-character/mmorpg-advanced-warrior-medieval-fantasy-modular-character which might be good if the modularity extends across their other character packs but I'm not sure and they're expensive
>>566491117>to make passable 3d artYou mean to make crap... or things like realistic 3D pillar, SUV or ironically distorted Sanic. You still need to understand art to make even Quake 1 level texture from 1996.
>>566487814You can tell Romero was one of those weird coolkid nerd hybrids while the others were just nerds.
>>566491661There's a lot of ways to improvize and stylize when it comes to 3d art. You can get away with flat colors, gradients or you can use programs like substance painter and even turn that into pixelized textures. With 2d you got one path and that's to make good art. There's no way around it.
>>566491969>With 2d you got one path and that's to make good art. There's no way around it.You have 40 years of game art to imitate. Just put down basic shape of your game object, put down layer of neutral color, put down layer of shadows, add some highlights where light hits and if it still looks a little flat, overlay a texture of material or draw a reflection. 2D art is a method, you don't need to be DaVinci.

>>566493082idk depends how much he spent on it and how long it took to dev but it's not doing terribly
>>566493735pretty sure running ads on two platforms for a year would run you 20k, that's before considering production costs.

beating the claude estimates for art development time, which is greatbut the coder is slower than claude estimates, which is not so great
how do I find a coder? Im fine doing everything else except the coding. Its too frustrating to me.t. artfag
>>566495464just pick something that uses JS or Python so you have infinite examples to copy
>>566495596>ask to find a coder>just do it yourselfgreat advice, now read the question
>>566495652have fun being completely helpless and dependent then(But an actual answer is joining a discord and networking + local meetups)
>>566495464I'd do it i was making a moba but I'm getting sick
Are the gamedev jews trying to sabotage marnie?
>>566496182we're making a roguelite but its 2D digitally drawn. everything is fleshed out already in the development document its just that the current coder is extremely slow
>>566495464artfag here. just use AI. they used AI to steal your art, use AI to steal their code it's only fair.
>>566494609oh.. rip
>>566495759thanks
when picking fonts for your game do you guys just pick the first fitting one you see or do you browse fonts for 5 hours like a fucking retard
>>566496230Iranian drone wants to know his location
>>566495464>>566496287AI coding is great if you can grasp the code and are smart enough to define the prompts to get good resultsI wish I were an artfag so I could handle that side better and easymode the code through AI
>>566496331I asked claude to suggest 10 fonts that would fit and to show them with my games colors/bg etc in a grid. I just used a google font
>>566496230He's buying a game but wanted a curator? What the fuck does that even mean? What was he expecting and how did he miss that it's an incremental game?>>566496331I pick the first one that fits and then I keep browsing for 5 hours trying to find a better one and then go with the first one.
>>566496414that's true, I sometimes forget that I am and artfag and ex-coder(unityanwers copypaster), I have experience handling spaghetti and making it work
>>566496562>An incremental game where you go from small-scale MMO development studio up to global market domination. if you don't know the 'incremental' genre, this just reads as kind of general description for any kind of studio tycoon game
>>566496230>the devs must've accidently made the game in the wrong genre!holy lmaoly
>>566485150>make a basic room based dungeon generator>throw it at opus 4.7>tell it to make the results not retarded
>>566497084just gamer things
>>566496331>when picking fonts for your game do you guys just pick the first fitting one you see or do you browse fonts for 5 hours like a fucking retardMy game supports TTF, if player wants another font he can change it.

>>566498282no it's getting off the internet and grinding on your game without distractions.
>>566484772I am making a puzzle game of sorts, why do you ask, friend?
>>566486409>>566486289https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5EZarsaNK8I hate gamers.
>>566491613yeah i know about this artist, but too asian looking and mostly females and feel a little cartoony, i wish there's a course for the chinese korean semi realistic style searched coloso and it's either anime gacha style or women nothing about male characters except photorealism
>>566498704too asian looking when you were after modern ff style or korean mmorpgs?
>>566496230>probably unintentionallymy keks are in orbit
>>566498921yeah i want the style with clean skin and similar proportions just not the asian features
>>566498684>hmm that's not so bad>10 seconds later>[*sniff sniff*]he's laughing his way to the bank I guess.
>>566494416Exactly, you don't root for golden spoon babies with industry connections. you root for the underdog brazilian who made a game while dodging bullets in xer favella.
you shouldn't make games on genres you're not already a fan and heavy player off.
>>566499743I know this is solid advice but>missing out on friendslop buxx>missing out on incremental/gambleslop buxx>action game player(make subpar mimic and take 4 years to do so)
>>566499889Nta, u should build your codebase game to game in a way that if some new current year popular slop comes around and it's close to what you like, you can build something in no time.For example people with code for an Isaac-like could make a survivor-like pretty easely
>>566499074when you get too specific the only option you have is to make it yourself
>>566491739or maybe that cool/nerd dichotomy wasn't what it usually gets simplified to in movies and tv shows
If you want to try it, it's finally on the play store. Ios by 2027 i hopeOnly One Tower - Idle Defense
>>566498282>is this really the secret to success?it's more of a consequence of being destined for success. there's every case playing out with so many people in the world, but typically if you're the kind of person who's going to make it, you're also the kind of person who people will love and support, and vice versa
Some guy made a game with a concept I've always dreamed. Meanwhile I haven't even completed my demo yet. I feel completely steamrolled. Like a little blood pulp typing this right now.
>>566500812good luck anon, looks polisheddid you do the pre-registration thing?did you do any marketing?
>>566500829I'm sure all the forever alone faggots that pass every night on discord are not rustled at all by that information
>>566499743Why not?
>>566501327Thank you. No, i released in open beta and applied for the early testing thing, i'll see in the following days if it makes the cut or not.0 marketing for now, i need to see if the game works out. If yes, in 2-3 months i can start dropping $500 in ads each month
>>566502107Early testing -> i meant Early Access
>>566501284cool, now you can move on to another idea
expected the tranny having a melty over his art in the discord to come back, hopefully he roped
>>566486076always has been>>>/wsg/6145119
>>566499653This is a red flag
Holy shit
>>566500313>finishing a game isn't hard enough, now you need to make it extendable for FOTM opportunitiesthat's completely unrealistic pie in the sky thinking
>>566499743everyone should make a mech game, especially if you are not a fan, that way we will get more unique takes instead of mechwarrior and armored core being the only ones allowed. pls make mech games
>>566502781either zero self awareness or zero shamein either case I wish I had some of that

>>566503042didn't even sound like him
>>566503298yeah it's probably fake
>>566503250fuck it I'd take all the praise I can get
>>566502921I don't wanna bust your balls, but if you are already making a driving game, and by chance a meme new type of driving game becomes popular, shouldn't be easier for you to build a meme-prototype than the rest of us that has never done anything related to driving?I'm taking car handling, ui for the speed and shit like thatHow do you think most of 2d platformer pivoted to roguelites that fast some years ago? And why all card games where slay the spire likes, and now they are balatro likes>those people don't have a soul and trust in their own ideaProbably.
>>566503710ideally yes. in practice you haven't even finished ONE game so don't give advice that makes it even harder to finish a game. in fact, don't give advice. finish and publish at least one game and then give advice even though you still wouldn't be qualified but whatever
>>566503872Totally agree.But imo these kind of feedback on mindset can be useful like playing other dev's demo on dd. Of course I'm also talking in theory, and I would probably don't put my project away because a new meme genre has raised and it's time to search for gold on Klondike's mountains. Also this is an amateur thread, not a "I've released at least a game" thread.At that point let's make "I've made a game that sold something" thread and "I'm a full time dev" thread
my current game is so easily converted into an incremental.. maybe i'd be stupid not to try
>>566504762*post release as a new game I mean, I'm seeing this one through
Does anyone want make a world of warcraft clone with me we need coder and artistRune Warden ā Heavy tank who carves magical runes into armor and weapons for buffs and crowd control.Blightcaller ā Dark caster that spreads disease, summons insects, and drains enemies over time.Storm Dancer ā Agile melee fighter using lightning-fast spear attacks mixed with wind magic.Spirit Binder ā Support/healer who channels ancestral spirits for healing, shields, and temporary summons.Iron Alchemist ā Hybrid ranged class using explosives, potions, and mechanical gadgets in combat.I have more ideas also but dont steal the above just showing you what i can offer
>>566501284either you git gud or you lose
>>566505161I need a good tutorial before I can code an MMORPG like wow
hell yeah, over 300 errors
>>566505161>we need coder and artistyou and everyone else faggiolito get outta here
why would anyone want to clone the most dull MMO ever made
are there any slopcrement with friends games?
>>566505161>we need coder and artistSo, you make the music I assume? Your not Just the ideaguy, right? >>566505470Most wow players have never played anything else, so its all they know>we should make a boss baby-like movie, says guy who only watched boss baby
Here is the trailer
>>566503002I've had this autobattler tactics mech idea for a long time but I can't model good looking mechs so it's been sitting in my idea folder. Figuring out the behavior logic is pretty intimidating too. I should prototype it at some point.

>>566506163use AI
>>566505161stale bait
>>566505470It has all the elements to make a good MMO
Everybody wants to make the next WoW but nobody wants to make the next Warcraft. Think about that for a second
>>566506169the difference is that the gamedev responds to market dynamics and demands, whilst the gamer forms it.someone on here once compared devving games to dating, where gamers are the foids. maybe that analogy will explain things to you.
is E+Q for block and dodge okay? shift, space, ctrl , right click are already taken
>>566505824>Your not Just the ideaguy, right?not at all. I am a freelance game designer, you will never have to worry about our game failing because I know what players wantim willing to take you under my wing if you are a coder or artist.
>>566506937no
>>566506956what about scroll wheel for dodging? or i should just copy dmc and have dodge behind lock on but i think people hate that
>>566506937A and D for dodging
>>566506903So it's just an issue of economics and a bunch of political think tanks farming easy votes?
>>566506937maybe middle mouse button?
>>566507457>right click are already taken
>>566486232thats like asking "is drawing or coding harder", it heavily depends on where your talents and skills lie and what level you're aiming for.
Should i use unity or godot
>>566507236What?>>566507330clicking the middle mouse always feel like shit at least with my cheap mouses maybe scrollng for dodge?>>566507457why are you pretending to be me?
which is the best place to learn programming and with AI is that even necessary still?
>>566507587Press A to dodge left and D to dodge right
should i make a fps game like fortnite or valorant. which will have more players
>>566507669WASD is already taken for movement
>>566506946>I am a freelance game designerNah I dont work with mercenaries. I'm already a professional Interactive Medium Architect
Why aren't more people making indie soulslikes? I want to start making one but the lack of them is concerning
>>566507872I can't make a Soulslike because Souls games don't go down in price so I can't afford them so I can't play them so I don't know what Souls games are like so I can't make a game like them.
>>566507751Fortnite is genuinely better than Valorant because at least Fortnite lets you have fun instead of sitting in a corner for 40 minutes listening to someone yell ārotate Bā before getting one-tapped by a guy named DemonSlayer#8472 In Fortnite you can crank 90s, hit the griddy as Peter Griffin, drive a shopping cart into a firefight, and survive by drinking glowing blue Gatorade, while Valorant players act like every ranked match is a military operation just to lose to a Jett with 400 hours and no sunlight

>>566507751I think Fortnite isn't an FPS at all...

its happened again, could not post here all day because my mom is now cutting the internet off until 5pm. Says I need to be out of the house, at least this bitch doesnt have the balls to go into my room. I have no idea how im going to finish my game now.
>>566508620We need to get our equivalent of Dew and Doritos advertised on /v/3What about Onions and Man Cereal

>>566509052already am, I work on my game all day and she doesn't see this as real work. she legit just thinks im gaming all day.
>>566508905You don't have internet on your phone?
>>566508847like anybody who became anything, by winning a lottery. refer to the OP pic
>>566508847his parents were c-suite at IMAX and high ranking members of the academy. He is not just 'some guy'. The thought of being 'some guy' that worked really hard and became an industry chief is a myth that's been sold to you. Even if somehow your game becomes a breakaway success, you'll either A. Be cancelled (a la notch) or B. Get pozzed by your astroturfed fandom into becoming an annoying faggot. If you don't have any kind of boomer root you'll never find true success.
>>566509247a phone for what man, i dont even go out and dont have friends. literally no reason to have one.
>>566509259>>566509308you guys need some positivity
>>566506169you could spend 5x longer to serve something that gets you the same returnsso why would you do that instead of serving slop to gamercattle?
Game development is actually so magical bro. One minute youāre fixing a bug caused by a single missing semicolon and the next youāre questioning your entire existence at 3AM because the player somehow clipped through the floor and launched into orbit. People think game dev is āmaking gamesā but itās really drinking caffeine, prompting like no tomorrow, and saying āit worked yesterdayā while your code actively fights back. But honestlyā¦ seeing one person say āthis game is funā makes the 700 mental breakdowns worth it
>>566483960How do people go about making money from fan games, like obviously you cant sell them, do they always have them behind paywalls and such?
>>566509634500+ Reviews
>>566509782feet pics
>>566509782You can sell Touhou and Hololive fangames. That's why there are so many of them compared to anything else.
I've made some number changes to the fighter. They now get "power attack" dealing 20 damage and pushing an enemy backwards, it costs 2 actions to do.Its interesting how just cranking the numbers immediatley adds personality.I've also added status effects to the game and a two turn slow to the rangers attack. I wont lie it feels a bit too boring right now so i will probably look for somthing more interesting like pierce or somthing.I've learned a lot about rpg design in this game, I wasn't planning on adding initative but attacking first is such a huge advantage that I feel like I have to.My idea is if your watchtower is a higher level than your enemy you attack first>>566484869

>>566509782patreon donations (and other similar services). usurping the fans from the fangame for their own original project (basically think of fangames as a publicity stunt)
>>566509440Wtf even without friends how do you not have a phone in 2026? Do you take your actual PC to the toilet?
>>566509782>like obviously you cant sell themSure you can, just create a legally distinct IP if the IP holders don't agree with you
>>566509726for me those technical issues are just bumps along the way. the real questioning-your-entire-existence moment is when you made the game you want to make and no one gives a shit and it gets 15 positive reviews and gets forgotten in a week
>>566509726this is bait
Mario Kart DS like? I feel everyone here should make a clone of their childhood games or at least attempt it. That's where the soul of gamedev really is it's in the heart.
>>566509726>seeing one person say āthis game is funā makes the 700 mental breakdowns worth itGratz anon. Though for me, simple going from bashing your head in trying to solve a glitch to it suddenly working is such a rush of euphoria that that high alone is worth it all. In that fraction of a moment I can suddenly relate to how the pharos and god-kings of old must have felt when they believed themselves to be living gods. Humility comes crashing back in pretty fast, but still, that moment is nice

Try again!">Turns out twitter email verification is fucked and doesn't work>Only option is to send a support ticket and hope the automated system picks it upSo fucking retarded.

Learning a little about materials and turns out masking out the wall so you can see your character is really easy
>>566512412this is what's going to happen to ALL members of the gabencunt society.
>>566513126shovelware is always someone else's game, never your own
I'm a luddite
>>566513825I release several new piles of shovelware onto itch each year where they belong. I'm not so delusional to believe anyone would want to pay money for them on Steam. After all, you already know just how much I love this H O B B Y.
>>566514260>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE HECKIN LUDDITERINOS NOOOOOOO DON'T EVEN DARE TO KEEP WORKING ON YOUR GAME!!!!!!!>YOU LOST>YOU LOST>YOU LOST
>>566514465I will explain why i am
>>566514332you're releasing unfinished projects and jamslop
>>566513126stop coping, it doesn't matter if its shovelware or not the fact is there's too much supply. Gamedev is dead. Software development in general is dead.
>>566514332hello zukjeetcare to post those itch games of yours then?
>>566514531AKA shovelware. You just don't want to admit to yourself that your trash is no better.
>>566514693until you release a finished game, you're beneath me
>>566514907Projects are never finished. Only released. It really doesn't matter how much time you waste polishing a turd.
I like making jamslop, it's fun
>>566515081>>566514693zukjeet, are you gonna post your own games or not? you talk so much of them, i'd like to finally see them>i don't want to associate-nuh-huh. you don't get that. nuns and guns dev posted here quite openly and nobody gives a shit. so there's no reason for you not to post your "shovelware", as you yourself put it
I know how to make a visually appealing game already but how do I make a game that's actually fun to play
>>566515284it's just not possible, if you don't find them fun to play then you can't make fun games.
>>566515081>didn't finish a game yetyou're like a virgin talking about sex to a sexhaver. you have nothing to contribute on the subject
>>566515254Guns and Nuns dev is one person. "Zukjeet" is a dozen different anons, many of whom have conflicting opinions, and yet you're still too low-IQ to figure out who's who. I am content to remain anonymous.
>>566515284fun is an outdated concept

>>566515081you got roasted hard homie, time to call it the day
>>566515756That doesn't bother me. I've had more sex than both of you combined.
>>566515915you are coping hard dude
>>566515942>That doesn't bother me.sure it doesn't. it's why you keep coming to this dying website and this dying general to convince everyone that you are totally a gamedev and a sex-haver.
>>566515942
ok that's enough leave the sex god alone, before this general ends up on a suicide note.
>>566516279hey buddy shut the FUCK upok?
>>566515727I don't think you're ready to have this conversation
>>566516046I'm just an anonymous whodev. I'm not here to convince anyone anything about myself. Facts are facts regardless of who says it.I'm here to convince you to make better games and have sex.
>>566516481We don't do the sex thing anymore boomer. It's ick.
>>566515081>Projects are never finished. Only released.Hard disagree. Shoving as much shit as you can into a game is its own sort of perfection, but only if you really lean into it as a defining quality of your game imo
>>566516561I'm not asking.
I am content with my jamslop for the moment
>>566369010I tried using AI for multiplayer, it.....ehhh.....I was looking at potentially months of learning how to do multiplayer so....idk how useful AI could even be in that state. I don't get where all these friendslop devs are learning multiplayer. I tried using relevant youtube tutorial vids but they clearly aren't of quality. In fact one of the tutorials was made by a girl, Samyam iirc, who later admitted she had trouble with multiplayer in a game she released! Where am I supposed to learn this stuff???? It's not easy or straightforward!!! I've looked at the relevant docs, they're as obtuse as Unity's docs to where a youtube tutorial would be needed or simply brute forcing the code until it works. Aieeeeeee!!!!
>>566516990multiplayer is not for anime brainrottershave you considered detoxing and regaining your brain cells?
>>566516990I'm working on a multiplayer game with Claude right now actually. It suggested breaking it apart into steps so I'm just on the making a single player prototype phase. We will see how fucked it is when trying to do multiplayer. But AI feels like one of tools where it only helps if you already know what your doing. "Make me MMO" will fail, but if you give it a functional game and ask it to split your code it into an authoritative server and a client for player visuals and inputs that communicate with each other, and then ask it to handle multiple clients it after that works, it Might work out?
>>566496230Theres that one guy suspected of doing this. He'd show up to their streams and just whine and complain>I am going to tell Valve you are tellings subs to buy your game and leave a positive review!!!!Dude is ugly btw and I suspect he is jealous of Marnix's looks kek. He is the guy that worked with Aarimous to make A Game About Feeding A Blackhole. Quite a stark difference when you look at Aarimous and then look at the ugly guy. Both Marnix and Aarimous mog this guy hard. I woupd kot be surprised if he hated Code Monkey for looking like Giga Chad.

>>566516990>I don't get where all these friendslop devs are learning multiplayer.Any CS or engineering degree teaches networking. Stay in school, kids.
>>566517721Is it even against the rules to ask your subscribers to buy your game?
>>566516990of course you don't you tranime spamming freak
>>566516481>whodevit's really funny how you use this word without understanding what it means at all. so much for all the "high iq" posting>I'm here to convince you to make better gamesi'm not sure how saying "actually u suck lol" any time someone voices (valid) concerns over the modern games market, and how all of that is supposed to turn them into better devs, but then again i don't understand many other things about indian culture.

How do you get rid of this pit of misery burning in my chest
>>566518453embrace it because shit only gets more intense from here
>>566517710I've noticed you already need knowledge for it and then having to guide it in small steps. But that means already having a decent knowledge base on the overall flow. Having to learn this when there is no easy source to learn from?

There is almost zero overlap between the type of game I like working on and the type of game I like to play. Does that suggest I should pursue a different endeavor altogether?

They don't know it but I bear their burden of getting rich. I must make it but damn am I fucking seething super hard. 2 months ago I made the trade of a lifetime.....and I fucked it up on 2 fronts.>I didnt go all in>I didn't hold long enoughAn all in and I'd be a millionaire right now. I could get my siblings out of the wagecage. As for myself I could finally dev without this sense of pressure. Am I making the right game? Will this game even succeed? What if it flops after 2 years of development? What if I get stuck on something that I can't code well? So many issues with gamedev that make so unsure if I am capable of making certain games. There is so much uncertainty in gamedev!!!! One single gamble could've removed this uncertainy and I failed to pull it off. Now I must continue devving. Can I make it before times up and I have to accept being a wagie? Or might I succeed and potentially make games for decades to come, maybe even open up my own studio???
Can you faggots stop flooding steam or anywhere in general with garbage please, most of the games you guys make are so shit it hurts to look at them, thank you.
>>566520415Goymers love slop, nice try, crab.

>>566510304how the fuck are you gonna compete with mario kart? cloning childhood games only works when that type of game doesn't really exist anymore
>>566514536then why are you trying to make games and posting in a game development general? fuck off
>>566520732Unlikely for Gabe to do it though, he makes a lot from all those app fees. If we assume 1m app ids are registed in a year and each one is for a new game, not a demo or dlc or something like that, then that is $100m made on the app fee alone. If he raises it to $10k he needs 10,000 app ids registered in a year to make the same amount.>1m app ids in a yearImagine how funny it will be when 100,000 games release on steam in a single year only for ~500 games to succeed yet many, many gamedevs think they'll beat the statistic and get rich.

It doesnāt helpā¦
>>566520415My game will be too good for steam
>>566517174you can't detox anime brainrot
>>566521257And where do you plan on releasing it then? Newgrounds, playstore? or perhaps here or some hentai game forum?
>>566510610>less than 1000>let you gamedev full timeHow? Did it require a monthly subscription?
>>566521194oh yeah you are absolutely right about that though I do think an mmorpg can work without an existing world of lore you just gotta work harder to get the lore hit for playersin fact taking a setting like lotr and trying to turn it into an mmorpg is quite shitty because it comes with a bunch of expectations and it's really hard for the game to live up to thatthough it would be interesting to see some studio take the path of building a fantasy world with non-mmo games and then going on to make an mmorpg with it
The fact that there's a non zero chance toonsouls is in /v/3 has me rolling. I know Betz said he was getting outside submissions sent to him but I might cough up a lung laughing if they just randomly air one of his trailers.
>>566520392>going all in>for a tradeThat is retarded and you know it. You can't think back on your trades like that. You got a win and hopefully you stuck to your plan like it was any other trade. It could have been a losing trade and if you had gone all in you would have lost it all. Think about that instead. Trade with discipline.

The one place were zoomers with money and poor impulse control congregate, built right into the Robinhood app (the investing app).I jest, but it would be the the ultimate win condition.

>>566516990networking is one of the things that I'm not even considering to learn because of that, I did a couple of things in the past such as sending data from a beaglebone to a server periodically, but that's itI would recommend you to see how open source projects are doing what you want to do, like this one for examplehttps://otland.net/https://docs.otland.net/ots-guidehttps://github.com/otland/forgottenserverhttps://github.com/opentibiabr/canary

>>566523887you can't recreate kino retro graphics while giving it modern look. the kino is the retro
>>566522764Nah >>566521189 got a point. Making the 10000$ entry would be the best way to control the slop. >third worldies btfoed cause can't afford entry>AI flippers btfoed cause they can't afford entry>less games released means more attention given to those who do release and less likely to be overshadowed by mountain of slop>more attention means your game is under more scrutiny as more people pay attention to your game>single dev niggers forced to pool money together and form actual fucking companies and working with each other on games people want instead of making another copy of some other popular indie hoping they become next millionaire.>higher entry fee means only people who are 100% committed would consider releasing games and would consequently actually put real effort instead of going through 5+ year early access purgatory with like 1/3 chance of abandoning the game entirely.And top it all of itch still exists so fags who want to make modern version of flash games can fuck off there.
>>566524440Thatās a terrible idea
>>566523887Why are you treating this place like a discord server with an off-topic channel? It's a general about MAKING games, we're not your buddies you can talk about anything /v/ related with, what does the movie adaptation of an AAA game have to do with this thread's topic?
>>566524575>t. guy who never used a toilet
>>566525024Because what about people who have good games but no money
>>566521189the fatfuck will never do it for more reasons that>nobody's going to take out a fucking car loan to publish a game on steam, so the amount of games will drop DRASTICALLY, including the good ones, meaning the fatfuck's 30% revenue margins will drop as well>the 30% argument will become a much more significant issue for valve at that point, common argument becoming "if we pay so much to enter, why is the cut so high?" (and valve will NEVER lower the cut)>the absolutely dogshit backend of steamworks and the horrid support devs get with reviewing games, or support with issues, will also become MUCH more apparentincreasing the fee at all to any amount is already very risky and can lead to all of the above either way, but while i can see an increase to $500, $1000 and even $10000 is too much, and valve will never do that.
>>566524440You don't have to go for 10k, even 1000 would be enough to filter 90% of slop today, but it's never going to happen for 2 reasons. 1. It would make Steam less money. Think about it, if every game is a lottery ticket and even shit games can blow up with the right streamer, it's in Steam's best interest to have as many lottery tickets as possible because they get 30% of their success. 2. Paradoxically, even though they'd make LESS money, EVERY single subhuman developer and gamer would think Steam is actually being GREEDY by asking for more money for the entrance fee, even though it would really be in the customer's best interest to raise the fee. In this world of social media optics are super important, and I doubt that's a can Steam wants to open. They even backed down from the "pay for mods" thingy because people raised a storm, even though personally I think it would have led to much higher quality mods but whatever. So yeah, it's a lose-lose scenario for Valve no matter how you look at it. The enshittification must go on.
>>566524607how is that off topic? he's a gamedev legend and nintendo clearly gave him the shaft
>>566524440>>566525024maybe you ought to actually READ the posts you're quoting, hindujeet
>>566520392An all in and I'd be a millionaire right now. I could get my siblings out of the wagecageLmao dude, lmao.The best releases in 5 or so years didn't even get to 150k of revenue.Unless you live in a shithole country you can't support a family, open up a studio or nothing.The success stories of the last few years are people that live alone eating ramen. And in the next 3-5 years they need another success or they are fucked.You can't bet on dev for escaping from nothing. Don't be like that moron that sold his house to make his game, please have some sense.
>>566525220Streamers controlling who becomes successful or not needs to end
if you build a level that's supposed to be difficult how many times should you the creator fail before you complete it?
>>566525370streamers aren't independent
>>566525370streamers don't decide who becomes successful, not anymore. tiktok and youtube algorithms do.if your game goes viral on social media and you manage to ride the viral wave successfully, that's what makes your game successful. streamers usually follow the algorithm hype wave, the other way around is an uncommon occoruence nowadays
>>566525365People need hope to cope with this shithole society and the hope is getting harder to come by.
>>566525227Yes, an ex-AAA game developer made a comment on twitter about a movie adaptation's design of his Nintendo game character, how is that off-topic to the amateur game dev thread I wonder? Guess I just jumped the shark, sorry for my comment bro. Anyway did you hear what Kamiya had to say about Bayonetta? Very interesting stuff.

>>566525220>EVERY single subhuman developer and gamer would think Steam is actually being GREEDY by asking for more money for the entrance fee, even though it would really be in the customer's best interest to raise the fee. In this world of social media optics are super important, and I doubt that's a can Steam wants to open.this would also make itch.io and gog much more preferable for indie devs overnight, and this would divert a significant traffic of game revenue and players away from steam and straight to gabencunt's competition. it would be a suicide move for valve.
>>566525828If someone asked to convert my game to a hollywitz movie I'd shoot them in the face.
>>566522764>>566525263I just got back from making lunch and for the record, neither of those posters are me. Like I said earlier, there are about a dozen different anons you like to accuse of being "zukjeet" and your IQ is far to low to be able to tell. $10k anon is right though, and I've argued the same many times. It's curious how it's always "jeets" who are willing and able to spend that kind of money, isn't it?
>>566525604>streamers don't decide who becomes successful, not anymore. tiktok and youtube algorithms do.This is important to learn. Even if you don't do tiktok or shorts, a good chain of tubers making videos of your demo and/or your launch version is a huge boon to your visibility and sales. If your game's videos perform well on youtube more tubers will hop on and some might make multiple videos.
>>566526010you'd shoot them in the face with your arri camera right?
Why do I see incremental games mentioned semi often here? Are they actually popular? Or is it just that they're easy to slop?
>>566525940he teaches because he's washed out and can't make games anymore and that tweet has no relation to this general if he drops some gamedev tips then yeah sure post them but I doubt there's anything magic insight that we haven't heard before and some of it might be outright misleading because he doesn't know the current market
>>566525828I already got the titles for mine>Anondev: A Raise Star>Anondev: Hubris>Anondev: Final Days
>>566526251it's a bit of both but to make a good one you still need to get what makes a popular incremental game
>>566526251>Are they actually popular?Yes. They are currently the most GMI small-scope genre. There has pretty much always been at least a few sitting on N&T at any given time for the last year or so. Here are the current ones.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3868320/Forage_Wizard/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4201710/Meow_My_Crop/
>>566526251for whatever reason zoomdevs are all in on making whatever they happen to think other people want them to make, usually influenced by whatever youtube/tokslop they are watching
>>566526251Proper Indie game genre like roguelites. Big companies wont bother (for the most part), reasonable scope for a indie dev, and the nature of the game is one where you might have fun playing it yourself even when you know how everything works
>>566526590>literal google play tier slopi suppose these must be the concequences of the ipad generation growing up and obtaining purchasing power. i'm afraid to imagine what kind of horrid slop awaits us when the current roblox generation grows up.

if u think about it warcraft amd starcraft are incremental games
how do we handle this felllow tra- I mean game artists
I asked GPT 5.5 to implement a new feature through the API and it cost $10.5. Ai bros I think the show is over.
>>566528704>>566529259You can track the total amount of stuff in a dictionary but if you use an inventory that has items occupy slots or space then you have to track that separately. For example you could have the dict<itemname,itemdef> and itemdef has a list<itemloc> and for ease of use you have a itemstack[invsize] and itemstack holds how many in the stack (even if max 1) and the itemname or itemdef or whatever. It is helpful to be able to track the total amount of stuff and as always there's a bunch of ways to go about it.

>>566531073You need to wrap your itemdef up with an item instance class either way, which contains data like the number of items in that stack.

Remember, if you wanna out a nodev just ask to post his game
Success or failure is a matter of /v/ posts
>>566536520basically you ludlost if you aren't gooning to AI porn
>>566537120post game

Let's be real, no one has ever asked for a game to be posted in good faith. It was always so you can make an enemy of that dev and drag his name through the mud if he slighted you enough.
If you post your game, you lose the game.
>>566539818This is the thing.. 90% its some schizo asking you to dev "dox" yourself so he can seethe at you forever, it aint worth it
>>566539682How did you do it so fast
>>566538428Did you make the pixel art yourself or commission it? I've been wondering how much would it cost. I need about 10-20 generic fantasy monsters with 3 direction sprites(up,down,side) and a simple moving animation for each direction. Let's say 24x24, 32x32 or 64x64.

>>566539818Whenever I say "post game" I would respect anon's decision to post game and back down, but that never happens because I only say "post game" to nodevs.

gamedev is this weird space where you socialize with 1000s of devs who never make money from gamedev, yet they all seem so serious and busy and productive. yet the ones who make it are never in any social community.it's like a collective denial.
>>566540517I've been in 'indie game dev' for like a decade and a half, I have never released a game. By day I am software engineer so I'm sure that contributes somewhat to game dev experience
>>566541224Why did you share this in the most sketchy way imaginable? Got any pics of what the gameplay looks like?>all those moan sfx embedded directly into the text file
>>566540864>But u need a thick skin, if you can't endure some shitposting you need to thoughen upThe problem isn't what they say to you, the problem is what they do knowing your identity. I've seen anons pretend to be other devs while having a meltdown in this thread. I've seen anons spam some other anons games on random /v/ threads just to drag their name through the mud. And I've seen anons stalk the developer on discord servers and screenshot whenever they said "tranny" then compile everything and send it to some guy on twitter with a lot of followers to expose it. All in all I don't see it being worth it giving terminally online losers any kind of ammo to use against you.

>>566542091I'd also rather avoid the risk of doxing or other IRL shenanigans from the spergs tbqh
>>566542091I get you, but you and any other dev has the same plausible denyability while posting here. Since we are all anons.On discord is different. but since the early facebook days everything you write up in public you must imagine it written on some newspaper. And think twice before writing.
I quit working on my game because I'm bored of sprites and polygons. We need something new before I come back.
>>566543378Voxels and shaded solid colors.
>>566541689why would any successful dev hang around with a bunch of failuresyou are not supposed to surround yourself with people lesser than you

How many times do the characters in my game have to use liberal, faggot and retard as insults before people get mad and advertise my game for free? How many times before Gabe advertises my game for free by banning me off Steam?

After abandoning my rpg due to realizing I just can't do it I've thought hard about what games I could actually make. I've come to the conclusion that I could probably make either a rougelike/lite or a incremental management type game where you run a town or tavern or something. Which of these do you think is generally a better idea for someone to make in terms of feasibility for finishing it?
>>566544638>>566544828 thisgive them the option to do all the woke liberal stuff, but whenever they do it something awful happens and you're called a faggot
>>566544828>make a race slider like that south park game, white to black>black is easier>in a gta-like where you get no stars for raping a pillaging>watermelons and fried chicken gives you super powers
>>566541602Gaza doesn't stand a chance against this Golem!
>>566545034>>566544638Honestly, its probably enough for your game to open up with a professor oak asking your sex type thing, but intread have the character ask you if you support the one state or two state solution. Doesn't even need to have an impact on the rest of the game.
>>566545097post the RPG game lets see how far you've got, its abandoned now so shouldn't be an issue.
>>566545339fucking kek, stealing this
>>566545339>no matter what you say he looks at you disapprovingly
>>566545097Incremental > roguelike atm, but both are viable, especially action roguelikes, which have gotten very state.
>>566518960I think I found a good way to get decent melodies out of ai music.Find a recording of someone playing an old traditional tune with no copyright you like, and then tell the AI to cover it in a different style. I used this and told it to do a JRPG style.https://vocaroo.com/1mCtyYl3RsAMDoes it sound ok or am I just a retard with no taste?
An incremental where you can actually do things.Revolutionary, isn't it?
>>566491525Make a post that blows up on weibo or bilibili
>>566547265Are you talking about a game that you play with a video apparatus?
>>566545339add a third option that says>"I'm a streamer / Prefer not to answer"that the streamers will panic click, then make it so clicking it shows porn and gore on screen
>>566542091Stop saying "Anon" you weird little ESL freak nobody has used that in about a decade
it's impossible to give feedback nowadays without a horde of fanboys defending the game lol."can you pls fix this 4 year old bug?""noooooo, the devs are busy, they are working so hard, 8 hours each day, 4 years isn't nearly enough to fix a bug that crashes the game, why would you ever expect that? you already bought the game, you aren't entitled to life-long updates noooo"
>>566547921easier said than done, when I can't even make an account on either

>>566549296nta but anon is cute. I like being called it
maybe it isn't about having the having an idea that is well-scoped, but about having the ability to take your idea and make a version of it that's doable. cause scoped ideas are all slop, but allowing your idea and finding ways to make it possible in a scoped way is actually genius.
>>566549296lmao everyone still uses anon fag

how would you explain why people who are into gamedev for a longer time are more likely to give up? is it too much awareness of how high the mountain is that they have to climb? you don't have to deal with that type of psychology, when you are just naive and delusional.

My dad has abandoned my family and honestly its because my game didn't become successful, if I made it before he left he would have stuck around we wouldn't have had money problems and everything would have been fine.I am not even allowed to visit his new family and never met his children (my half brother and half sister)
>>566553579Why did your dad have money problems with your family and not the new one?
i know why fake it till you make it works. because the brain is associative and not logical.e.g. as a kid i didn't want to become a superstar, i roleplayed as a superstar. it's a very important difference.and what do you do when you roleplay as christiano ronaldo? you play soccer all day long, pretending to be christiano ronaldo.guess what happened? i got really really good at soccer.why don't we do this as adults, even if it's so effective? i dunno, but my guess would be bullying or people thinking you didn't grow up or you are mentally handicapped.again, this is about how the brain works. it doesn't think like "i can possibly learn soccer if i train hard for 20 years and play every day" and then you start doing stuff. actually the opposite happens, those thoughts actually discourage action.you gotta pretend you are already a successful gamedev, you have to lie, you have to make up stories, you have to pretend you are eric barone. you have to roleplay being a gamedev. and what does that roleplay look like? you dev all day. what happens when you dev all day? you become good at it.
>>566553763Because his new son is a successful dev.
>>566553763He got my mom pregnant when they were teenagers, he matured and moved on, what a sad life I live.
>>566554078You should do the same to another woman and continue his legacy.
>>566553530>tell me you are alive>I am alivewhoa.
>>566554078wish i was that young again and would immediately visit a therapist (deep psychology - like freud&jung, not behavioral psychology).but make sure it's an old man with a lifetime of experience and not a 30 yo woman.but well, it'll probably take your 20 more years until you realize why i'm right. let's not talk about time wasted... we all waste time... but it could have spared you a bunch of failed relationships and misery if you had listened to me... but your brain probably has too strong associations with therapists to trust me.but well, you are in good company, there are enough coping chuds here to spend time with you and pretend they know what they are doing, in their echo chamber of misery.
>>566554078Sounds like your dad's just a cunt
did eric barone watch tutorials?

>>566554548Okay but it's kinda scary or rather i guess the accurate word is uncanny when a machine talks and explain it's reasoning with human language even if it's a glorified autocomplete having communication like that is really something wild.

maybe lack of success is just the consequence of not listening enough to intelligent people or not having enough access to intelligent people.it's always fascinating how mainstream culture intuitively notices things like that and creates memes for that, we call it brainrot now.

What's up with modern game / gamers?Why do they feel the need to constantly have references in the game?Either it's references of a similar genre, similar game, real life event, celebrity or TV show.
the reason it's hard to have success, is because you have never been taught it by somebody who had success.actually one time i had a situation where i would spend hours trying to understand a math task, then the teacher came and explained it to me and i actually understood it, and suddenly i could instantly solve every task. that's the power of teaching. it can take years trying to assume something, that someone with the knowledge about it could tell you in a minute.the fucked up thing is, we all chose to do something that is so young that we can't even define what a good gamedev teacher would be.

the problem with filtering for "relevant knowledge" to your goal, is that you don't know which knowledge is relevant, before you reached your goal.the problem with someone who never reached a goal is that they don't have the ability yet to filter for the relevant knowledge. that's why curiosity is very important, because it encourages learning everything.

accessibility is everything in gamedev.is the art style accessible?the controls?the gameplay?does it have too many choices? -> avoid decision paralaysis to make it more accessible.do you understand your role in the game?do you understand the environment?do the sounds make sense?do you understand what the goal is easily?do you easily understand how to improve your skill in the game?even the idea itself is part of accessibility. "zombie shooter" or "medieval rpg" is more accessible than "genome analysis lab simulator"
feels good to keep improving, chuds.
A game about doing nothing with your life.
I noticed, that most people in life are emotional, impulsive and mentally retarded. They can barely grasp ideas, much less to think them up. They don't observe life and walk around like automatons.

Alright, let's try make this a little more productive c:Those of you working on your "anon's cool game", what do you do to pick it back up when it's been slow for months?It kind of feels like when you play an RPG after months and you can't remember where to go, haha!
>>566569138I keep a task list.
>>566569138Just drop it and start fresh. If you can't remember, then it wasn't meant to be.
maybe having a goal is a bad thing, because it overwhelms you. maybe it's all just about making a bunch of irreversible decisions.maybe you could even roll a dice.like start with 2D or 3D. pick one, decision made, irreversible.camera perspective? choice made.do you control a character, a group, a vehicle etc? choice madedo it have day night cycle? choice made.although this makes me wonder if that only works with a functioning hierarchy, where choices increasingly are affected by the already chosen context.
>>566569275What's overwhelming you isn't the goal. It's too much freedom and a lack of constraints. Rolling a dice is creates an artificial constraint.

Is solo gamedev much easier if you're an artist? Seems hopeless as a codemonkey.

Assuming I made a high-effort masterpiece where I meticulously made sure the game works, would it even matter?People say that good games advertise themselves, but IDK if that's the case.
>>566573765in music & film, you have masterpieces that nobody discovers until 20 years laterthat doesn't happen in games. there's no such thing as a 9/10+ game that doesn't become popular until years later. earthbound is the closest to an exception
>>566573765Good looking games advertise themselves.Good games are a crap shoot.
>>566572521This happened to me. I did all the art, he was a cs guy. it was his idea in the first place.(Long before AI) We could have been one of those early indie duos. One burned twice shy, I never wanted to work with anyone again , so learned programming myself
>>566573765>People say that good games advertise themselvesthis is copeim probably the only one in the thread that owns kirby air riders
>>566573765Good (i.e. high quality and effort) isn't enough. You have to make a good fun game that people want to play.
>>566573890Games haven't been a medium long enough for this. There are shitty old games with gems of ideas though, steal those.
>>566574101I remember when my guy was talking about our game, he was like, "Do we need a 3rd person on this project?"I was thinking wtf do you mean 3rd person? What did you add to the project today? Oh right nothing. You put max 15 hr per week into the project and you're not even employed. But yes sure we need a 3rd person apparently

>>566575419Here is 2027.
>>566576420bokube on the ps3
>>566576039Soonish. Im busying going through old jokes and censoring myself because I already offended people with the current BOKUBE demo on steam because im retarded and too autistic. The /v3/ guys are getting an early complete game build (but i might delay that from the 15th of this month to uh...the 30th who knows just so I can perfect the games story before they play it who knows) >>566576078runs at 100 fps on my shitty 1060gtx labtop. I am gonna finnally upgrade to a steam machine when that comes out so my next game will be optimized for those better specs
>>566576420there will be a resurgence in microsoft paint slop style in 2028
>>566563929It's early access indie. There's a reason why Chris Zukowski tells people to not do early access, it's basically a "real" launch but without any of the hype of an actual launch, which lowers the sales and popularity for when you actually do release the game.Clips of that game constantly go viral on twitter, tho, so when he does release his game he will 100% be successful, not as much as he would have been if he hadn't done early access tho.
>>566574620this isn't AI
>>566576830oh no trans sisters.. boku hates us
>le raise entry price to bazillionGuys from ID software used to make games for publishers for around few thousand per game, it was stuff like Commander Keen.There are games that are not big productions, but also aren't scams, you know? Isn't Steam cucking small games already?
>>566576830do you still have 'git gud!'?
when people were talking about incremental games i thought they meant melvor idleturns out everyone is copying nodebustersi guess melvor idle-likes aren't trendy?
>>566576830>The /v3/ guyskek everyone was shit talking them but seems like most the yesdevs are doing it
>>566577082Melvor Idle-likes are really fucking hard to make compared to Nodebuster-likes, but there are some. Rocky Idle was a recent one.
i love commander keen. the world would have been a better place if he was THE platform guy, instead of that fat mustached italian
>>566576830>runs at 100 fps on my shitty 1060gtx labtop. I am gonna finnally upgrade to a steam machine when that comes out yeah the jump from a gtx 1060 to a gtx 1080 is pretty huge

runescape players are poor hillbillies the first of americas brainrotted children every single time a dev says they played runescape their game has awful floaty gay combat
Got my first hero attack setup - barbarian slams down his sword, spawning an area-of-effect on his target, dealing moderate damage
>>566577070No, but that wasn't removed because I give a shit about offending people, that was removed so the time to get back into the game after death is faster. Before I had to wait to reset the level until the GET GOOD finished coming up on the screen fully; but now I just restart pretty quickly after death. >>566577430There is no way a steam machine is only going to be a gtx 1080 that wouldn't be able to run like 80% of games on steam like valve says it will
>>566572521>Started building game with CS friend>Stable diffusion releases>He becomes obsessed with AI and doesn't want to do anything without using AI (and this is back when AI was actually dogshit) But get this - he didn't want to use stable diffusion - he wanted to make his OWN image generator using c++>Drops the game immediately when I said I don't think that's worth it>Loses all interest in game development, just wants to do shit with AI>To this day he's working on that AIIt can gen black and white 64x64 pictures now

>>566578958>>566577468You're thinking of https://store.steampowered.com/app/4298880/Timber_Rush/It's not a Melvor-like. It's a Nodebuster-like. You can think of it more like Digseum, but woodcutting instead of mining.

>>566580729are you sure? I saw webms of development posted here all the time a few months ago
>>566580724I gotta ask.How do you actually keep working on a game for this long, what's the daily like, how have you not quit
>>566573765>People say that good games advertise themselves, but IDK if that's the case.it's not. the retards who spam this take are either from /v/ or /v/ adjacent comunities. that alone should be very telling of the quality of this take.
>>566581175The client is always right idiot
>>566580854If you love what you do time doesn't matter. I will say like I said in the last /v3/ interview tho huamanity itself makes me more sick of Bokube than working on Bokube itself since the negative energy of people themselves constantly attacking me both online and offline about Bokube makes working on it harder; (not that i'd ever be some kind of faggot and give up) but just more annoying that im probably going to have a better mood to work on bokube 30 minutes a day forever; after it releases on steam in a 1.0 version and keep updating it forever until its perfect than right now as im trying to rush it into a 1.0 state and get it on steam for sale in a good enough 1.0 version to make annoying people stfu Similar to how I updated the steam demo 40+ times based on feedback the main game will have the same thing; il just read steam reviews and update the game forever based on steam review feedback. (il probably do something where I work on bokube 15-30 minutes everyday forever after release and my next game 10+ hours a day)

>>566581175That's a bitch and a half isn't it
>>566581921i pity you
>>566581992I pity YOU, slopper.
>>566581729
>>566581992Why? I've been casually devving for almost 15 years because I enjoy it. And no, I don't have any games to show for it. But I enjoy the learning process
>>566581659Real gooners work while gooning. I gooned all day yesterday, didn't cum because I was focused on work but had porn up on my other monitor, then gooned today until I came so hard I nearly passed out after fixing a bug.
>>566581647maybe; but the goal of a good 6-9 hour game that is worth playing through with good level design, a decent story, and good art is more important than money right now; and im happy bokube is getting close to finishing development meeting those goals even if it doesn't sell well due to lack of marketing theres a reason im selling it for $4.99 to get into the hands of as many people (at the low amount of people who find it); will find it easy to buy it. Even the goal of my next game isn't copies sold but I want to make a game that breaks modern design conventions; i think its better to have design goals you set yourself rather than money because a lot of bad games sell a lot these days; and I rather make good video game master pieces (and get better at the formula of making good games over time with each new game) than make a ton of a money. The niche of people that will like Bokube and their steam reviews will be more important than copies sold to me.
>>566582052fuck you, does this look like slop >>566542793 ?now shut your trap
>>566582134I started edging until im near climax then taking a shot of espresso and writing code
>>566582185Aryan activities
Seeing a game succeed with buggy features I could easily fix and art so low quality that I could do speaks volumes. Released in 2018, has over 1500 reviews, and sells for over $10. I would be in such a good position in life right now if I just started devving much sooner. I've noticed that the 2010's were a great time of opportunity while the 2020's are rather lacking by comparison and far more competitive. Almost as if everyone that's not already wealthy wants out of the wagecage and is looking for any slight gain.>gamedevMake decent games where graphics weren't too important, complexity wasn't in high demand, dopamine-maxxing a game wasn't required, churning out slop unneeded.>cryptoLiterally buy and hold any big name crypto, no extra effort.>stocksThe same as crypto, just buy and hold.>various self starter businessesDropshipping and microgreen farming for example.I missed out because I was occupied going to college and then finding a good job. What a waste of time that was. Worst part was I had a dream earlier that basically hit me hard when I woke up, the realization that I failed. I failed at gamedev, I failed getting a good job, and I failed at getting a wife. This blows. All I had to do was just not go to college, focus on gamedev and waging at some grocery store. Invest that money later and continue devving. How different my life could've been........
