https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B1rSn-4Wv8Also, here's the trailer for Project Nortubel with a song composed by Horbror.It's what's used on /v/3.Originally, the trailer was longer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdbjeENF354 and had no music, but Horbror made a cool song and I ended up editing the trailer based on it.But as of now, the game itself has no music because I want to think about that more later on.
>>483215431studio ghibli =/= weebcrap
>>483215492Positively delightful trailer.
40 to 60 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 350 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 50 games a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2024HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY
>>483215492why the delightful women? is it to reflect portugal's demographic?
>>483215549Wrong
>>483215492>and had no music, but Horbror made a cool song and I ended up editing the trailer based on it. good thing you changed it otherwise the organizer might have put that Dr fauci remix over your actual trailer

>>483215723Nortubel's cast is the way it is because I just felt like adding different kinds of things I liked, in different ways.And I did have influences from different areas too.>>483215910The skit "animation" (More of a slideshow) was just done because I had a basic idea for a comedic short.Had no music and even said he could've put anything he wanted, since it was a less serious thingIt was animated in Godot, like the main game's cutscenes but it wasn't done inside the main game.Rather a much more personal project and one too autistic that only one trustworthy friend knows about.

>>483217418>Crab mentality, often referred to as "crabs in a bucket" syndrome, is a metaphor for the behavior where individuals pull down or undermine others who are succeeding or progressing, out of envy, jealousy, or insecurity.

>want to make cozy co-op space ship factory game>flying for any reasonable amount of time in a straight line results in unbearable floating point jitters>unable to use double precision for this without being an enginedevand every other solution I've tried have tradeoffs I'm not willing to concede. I finally got something working with multiplayer flying over large distances only to discover that I've completely broken the built in particle system, so I'll have to make my own. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is there some magic solution I'm missing? My current approach (based on stuff I have read online from Kerbal & similar devs) is to include an integer vec3 "index" with each transform that effectively chunks everything and moves stuff relative to the focus point index (player), but it seems like every system I make is just more workarounds to keep things working.

Beyblade + Prince of Qin
>>483218535normie locust swarm, they typically leave stragglers behind. i hope i can lure this swarm to my game. no intent of updating it much as once they're gone they'll likely never come back and i'd rather work on a new game now. get rich off their dopamine social clout chasing behavior to kick back and relaxingly neet dev and advance my gamedev skills knowing i never have to wage again

>>483221680nta but most succesful people are at the cusp of massive success by that age and have a track record suggesting that will happen before they even hit theur mid 30s. if you're in your 20s without that obvious trail of success it feels impossible to pull a gmi gamedev success or company creation
>>483222649I don't think anyone here has the vision or soul to pull a good VN. This is from 1999 VN btw
>>483207980>>483208742I just tested this out, and I don't think it's gonna work honestly. The player has very little time to react when a W or S note appears. I guess I could make them smaller, but I don't think that would make it much better. Plus, maybe I'm just too used to everything being horizontal, but this has completely changed the way the game feels. It doesn't really feel like you're hitting notes to the music anymore; it just feels like you're pressing random buttons.
>>483221727>Shitposting in /agdg/ is my favorite pass time...basedshe's so prettier, why can't i have a gf like this but with long hair? where's her ponytail?

>>483224845Chet is completely right about "gamedev" youtubers being youtubers and not real gamedevs, but his "I shipped a game in a year" is a bad example. L4D2 was able to ship in a year because Valve already had L4D as a base to rewrite/build off of, and a ~40 person team that grew to ~80 for crunch time.

In godot what would be the simplest way to keep the players air momentum while a variable is true? Ive noticed that if I set my velocity.x to something fast as shit in the left axis it only applies to the character while they’re moving left and not in general, Ive worked around it by manually having the code press the left or right key in places but this seems to have bitten me in the ass. This is the only remaining hurdle I have please saars help

Alright, here it is vertically using ASJK instead of WASD. Same song, same notes, etc. Only difference is the layout and controls. I'll probably include both versions the submission for DD57, so more people can play them and decide which one is best.https://litter.catbox.moe/o05lin.webm

>>483226309He said use Godot if you want to "dabble and have fun". Not a ringing endorsement! Surely, he would have said to use Unity for SERIOUS game development.
>>483229298what engine did anacrusis use? UE?
>>483229121This is why you have to be so careful about naming your game. An oversight like this could cost you everything. Some joker comes along and points out that your game title sounds like something else, especially if it has a swear or body parts in it, and it's completely over for you.Yikes. RIP Damaskus or should I say, "Damn Ass Kiss."
>>483226282>alve already had L4D as a base to rewrite/build off ofYeah, the Freedom Planet guys had their first game to work off of, and still took like 8 years to finish the sequel because the main dev was a mentally ill tranny. Indie devs can reuse work too

The result is that "users generally prefer systems similar to those they learned on and dislike unfamiliar systems".[22] The issue may present itself relatively early in a computer user's experience, and it has been observed to impede education of students in new software systems or user interfaces.[23]

Man looking at this data....it's just abysmal. All these players but most don't even seem to buy new stuff at all. Assuming I'm reading this right. Feels like most just stick to the same triple A/popular indie games that are free and just play tens of thousands of hours on it.Funnily enough looking through the data my amount of gaming time seems to be going down enough that Roody 2D is somehow in the top 5 most played games of last year for me. At least on Steam that is. I never even bought it, I only played the demo. Most of the games I played that year were solely being used for some sort of reference purpose. But what excuse do the normies have for playing so much yet sinking it into the same game and almost never touching anything else? Team Fortress 2 isn't that fun or CS Go or Rust. Just how the heck do you rip these people off these games to play your stuff? Besides being triple A, company with lots of funding, triple I, or some other established company/dev with a fanbase, how do you even pull a crowd nowadays? 15 years ago? Easy. 10 years ago? Still easy. 5 years ago? Okay now it's moderate difficulty. Now? Feels impossible.

>>483242706That’s my point. Making a Doom clone makes sense because Doom hasn’t been made obsolete by another game. Wolf3D however is completely obsolete, because Doom made it obsolete, so it makes no sense to make a Wolf3D clone when you could make a Doom clone instead.

Dispite AI getting massively better each year and month to the point where no solo dev should go without it, every single persons public opioin is AI sucks but the usage is something like 60% of all devs are using it from indie to AAA and not telling anyone.

>>483248379I've used it to generate some model ideas for the game, and some music track concepts. But for actual full game dev it's still pretty hands on human. Not sure about the coding side since while I can see it doing smaller stuff code wise, i cant imagine it can string together a fully working engine to do X/Y/Z.

I was the "helper," so naturally I got all the shit work. At minimum wage too. He kept jerking off, paying fractions of what he owed me, then "forgetting" how much was left, etc. I think I ended up only getting about a quarter what I was owed. This was a "friend" (note the quotes). I can only imagine what happens with the dumbass bitch contractors who hire laborers from the side of the road, local Hispanic district. Those Sneeds don't have any recourse (kek if you don't count the local MS-13 chapter). I hear fuckers tell me about the "wait to clock in" gig. Many "help themselves" to their employers' assets. I don't condone that, but I also don't condone getting ripped off. Large-scale, white-collar employers reap fucking billions from stolen wages. My first job was hourly and I made money over my standard wages (an honest employer - defense contractor, audited with a proctoscope). But yeah during my exempt career I encountered all kinds of nickel-and-dime behavior. Those nickels and dimes add up to new Porsches in the driveways of Sneed managers.
>>483253758Getting shafted for your first jobs isnt too uncommon but your friend does sound like a piece of shit. Those people tend to get ahead though because they have no sense of guilt are morals.I got shafted too for my first jobs and boomer response was 'ya gotta start somewhere'. Honestly, I always get impressed how tthose illegal mexicans manage to save money to start their own businesses eventually while being ripped off by laborers.

>>483255083I'm sure that there's a bunch of video game CEOs, drooling over the thought of firing all their artists, engineers, etc. and doing everything with AI. That may actually work. For a year or two. Then, those who learn to leverage AI and add their own skills will knock those CEOs into the skip. It seems like Cris is currently having a difficult time integrating AI stuff into his work; but that's more because the stuff he does, and the platforms he uses, are currently not a particularly rich AI substrate. I suspect that will rapidly change, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.

>>483256649Frankly, career is a spook. You just do things you get paid for. Maybe the stuff you've been doing falls out of grace, and you need to adapt. Maybe you just find something you'll be paid for better.AI is going to destroy my field in the next few years, or the very least reduce my department of a half a dozen guys to one. It is no big loss for humanity, but I know that personally I will have to adapt.

a friend told me my game lacked texture, so I literally downloaded textures online, made them monochrome, and applied them to the wall and ground. should I make the whole game like that crabsisters?
>>483257615At the very least it will lead to less people being able to do the more work in the same amount of time, which will still mean lots of people losing their jobs
>>483257839
>>483257615Yes, I don't think "replace" is the right word. More like making fewer people more efficient, so they don't have to employ that many people and department. The bright is that individuals might also be able to get more thing sdone, that they would have needed a whole team for, a decade ago.
>>483257615I disagree, as the tools become easier to use and more powerful there will come a point when the mainstream, currently clueless masses will be able to just generate amazing quality stuff on their phones, leaving the artists in an even worse spot. The only thing I can see as a silverlining is that as more AI content is generated, it will start getting trained on itself and things could get pretty fucking stale after a while without new human input to feed on.
>>483255351>Then, those who learn to leverage AI and add their own skills will knock those CEOs into the skip.Pretty much, having the money to throw hundreds of specialists at a game is the only thing AAA studios have going for them, that's their moat, if AI weren't just a meme and could put hundreds of people out of work then their moat is gone and they have nothing to offer. >It seems like Cris is currently having a difficult time integrating AI stuff into his workEven if cris weren't retarded AI seems hard to integrate into gamedev. Like I hope you only want one character portrait and no other poses because if you do that character will look slightly different and probably be wearing different clothes.

I think the odds of makong it off gamedev will be abysmally low before we even hit 2030.>>483257357>dropshippingUnironically naming one of the things the normie locusts invaded prior to the gamedev invasion. If you were early enough you probably got rich off that.
>>483257956Your assumption is that improvement on what you see now will be exponential or even linear, because you probably missed the last 10 years of developments in machine learning and from your perspective LLMs just apeared out of nowhere and seem set to take over, well they're not going to. What you see now is pretty close to the peak, all improvement from this point on requires exponentially more data, and all potential sources of training data are currently being rapidly contaminated by last generation's LLMs like an Indian river being shit in and then used for cooking and drinking water.AI doomers pipe down
>>483258303my game is an orblike if that helps
>>483258352not even open source like unity and unreal
>>483258286how would that work? if you put out 1 light, the light behind it should vanish, if you have a lightmap, the whole area is usually baked, not individual walls. this could get messy. if you manually put 'lit' walls behind each candle, it's kind of a pain if you want to move a candle.
>>483258343>Ai voice acting that is indistinguishable from real human voice and has sliders you can move around to change the tone of each word is what I really wantIt's almost like AI is always just 2 more weeks away from being actually useful...Well it's easier for you to get a job and pay for voice acting than it is to wait for some AI startup to develop the tool you want and then give it to you for free forever.
>>483258352I enjoy GMS2. But I also decided from the beginning that my game is going to be a 2D one, where all the graphic is just different sprites, and I will never do even an inch of modelling, texturing, rigging.I also would never recommend for anything that makes heavy use of UI elements. That shit is a pain to program on this engine.
>>483254742Wow your parents unironically were terrible, why do I get the feeling yours might not even give you an inheritance? Mine are disappointed that all I keep getting are shit jobs and that my degree is useless. They and I were sold on the idea it guarenteed success by society. Now look at all those college grads working those min wage jobs they were threatened to be stuck in for life, heh. Now Im unemployed and gamedevving. Gamedev is unironically my best chance of not being a failure when it comes to money.
>>483259068Damn, you go, king! Keep on winning!
>>483258352Because it's a dinosaur engine. No reason to use it in 2024 when better options exist.
>>483253524>worked securityI keep hearing this shilled by /biz/, how hard is this as a skeleton? Not like my degree is of any use, just worried about confrontation when I dont look physically threatening besides that "im dead inside look". Would be nice to come in with a laptop and gamedev for hours with minute looks at the security cams.>inb4 I get screwed and thieves show up while Im devving
>>483259068>They and I were sold on the idea it guarenteed success by society.Same here really. Now I just realize they were as clueless as I was, on how to succeed in society. Going for the most marketed path, of sending their kid for higher education.
>>483258736>multiple light sourcesdidn't account for that, sorry. I was assuming that you only had 1 light source for the room.it doesn't work, or is too tedious, if there are multiple
>>483258191A programming language cannot be soul, soul is what the person makes with the technology, not the technology itself
>>483259295I have a friend who works security, in the EU though, so it might be different in the US. Obviously depends on where you work and who do you work for. Most of the times though, it is about just dealing with people. Maybe helping out someone who is lost. Remember, you are a security guard, not a bouncer. If shit goes down, you are to call the police, not play a hero, or corporate military.
>>483259418>Synty>programming language ?
i’ll be reali’m a huge fucking brainlet and i can’t understand godot’s node system
>>483259625>monch monch :)
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Making sure of something before cutscene work.
>>483259784>nodes are easy to understand bro :)
>>483257956>>483257956You're talking about an AI tool so powerful that it will make dumb people smart, and artlets artisic. That sort of tech is so far away. Only slopheads addicted to the dopamine cycle of proompting cope that the tech as of now has any value besides being a toy. I've easily spent over a hundred hours gooning using AI chatbots, and its already starting to lose its appeal, just like games do when you start getting a feel of how they "work under the hood". The drive to learn, understand and refine that "stuff under the hood" is what seperates consumers from artists/developers, and the more people delegate their thinking process to chatGPT, the more need there will be for people capable of original thought.As of right now, the only two potential uses for ""AI"" are voice acting, and generating sloppy smut literature for a cheeky cum.
>>483259784Nodes are literally just a class. You use nodes as objects.
another zero progress day
>>483259991If you think visual scripting is even comparable to nodes then I don't think you're smart enough to make games
>>483259784theyre just scripts
>>483259991I am kinda curious how viable it is to actually make a game like this. Is the performance of such a game even viable after its all said and done?
What do you guys use to create levels in Godot?
>>483258352it's ok for what it is but limited in scopeif you are making a mario clone, surebut if you use unity or godot, you will be able to recycle those skills to make larger, more ambitious projects later
>>483260292blender
>>483260248it's pretty much psychologically unmanageablevisual scripting is a noob trap
>>483260248supposedly a game made entirely in unreal blueprints will have about 10%-20% less fps than c++
>>483259625Engine language you know what I meant you obese fucking cat>>483259784I understand the system but theres like 600 of them so I don’t know what 90% of them do
>>483260501you don't need all of themi just use area3ds for everything
/v/3 inspired me to start working on a game. Trying to get a game made for the next year's show is a nice goal to have.
>>483259313Yep same deal here. Certain specialized degrees give better odds, but those are few so unless you already know at 18 you'll probably fail at picking one of those. The majority of degrees seem to require you to either be female or someone with some form if connections/social standing for it to be of much use. Nothing more than a piece of paper for a checklist. *sigh* idk what I will do but I'm really hoping a few scenarios play out to maximize my chances of getting financially wealthy. But the next several decades are starting to look rather grim for me. Just one successful game and I can be free of the wagecage
>>483260408>>483260457The guy who made pseudoregallia did it in unreal blueprints so there's that:https://80.lv/articles/developer-reimagines-celeste-as-a-3d-platformer-in-unreal-engine/

>>483260669being possible doesn't make it pleasant
>>483257839The textures are really noisy and make the image too busy and unclear. That said, I think you can salvage those walls. You can leave the black floor, and the contrast can be used to differentiate the walkable area.In any case, take into account that with that dithering in the walls you are basically adding extra shades to your 1 bit game. You probably should look at other 1 bit games and see how they solved their graphics.

Anyone tried composing on android tablets? I cant be sitting on daw trying to come up with ideas, i rather be doing other crap like graphics or code, whenever i have idea im nowhere near pcAny apps anon would recommend?I would ask mu but they know fuck shit about music
>>483261291>>483260589Im not complaining about godot, Im a solid 60% done my game and ive basically only used characterbody2ds, collisions and area2ds
>>483260008AI music is shockingly good while at the same time being almost completely unusable due to it being difficult to manually correct. Human musicians sampling from AI generated music is going to be a really questionable legal situation in the very near future.

>>483261959https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B496Qv0CuOQthis but AI... kino
>>483260745I can't find a single game that tried going the full dithering-texture route for a game like this, it's always minimalism Minit style, which is the one that inspired me in the first place, in my opinion this noisy artistic direction is harder to pull off so I need to keep training my art skills
>>483224845Had a super long post but doubt most would read it so all I want to say is, I hate gamedev grifters. I blame them for turning gamedev youtubers into gamedev grifting youtubers and for causing a tsunami of gamedevs to appear all clout chasing because some youtube grifter popularized it for self serving puporses
>>483262625Is the guy a grifter or the people he's talking about?
>>483262697Chet is not a grifter.
>>483262091it's supposed to be a prison cell with 2 mattresses bro I need to level up my sprites if you see a roof it means I'm cooked
>>483262697I didn't watch much, I was talking about the grifters in general, not him. He seems to be calling them what they are. Although in my rage I msy have exaggerated the part about gamedev teachers turning into gamedev grifters as I havent really watched much in the way of tutorials after I became competent enough. Still, sad seeing the useful ones not getting much traction, wouldnt surprise me if most quit or become grifters with a dash of teaching every now and then. I did seedevs who taught at one point get an audience but I get the feeling some became grifters. Code monkey now just feels like a grifter. He's no different than Marnix but at least Marnix seems entertaining as he's clearly just flopping about trying to succeed at gamedev. Code monkey just became like that Blackthornprod guy grifting clickbait for views. And yes even that Jonas Tyroller or whatever his name is with the Snail game is a grifter. Doesnt even do tutorials just acts like hes some gamedev genius even before succeeding. Had he not had that audience, I doubt his game wouldve succeeded.Yes Im full of anger at what the grifters did to gamedev. Hobby or jobby, they ruined it for us
AGDGers I need your help.Here's the dealio:I'm looking for a remote job with very minimal hours while doing gamedev on the side. At this point I dont care about the pay just looking to fill in the employment gap. Like a job for stay at home moms. I worked a wagie 9-5 for a few years prior to lay offs. My main focus is making games and using that to get into the industry to get insider info and improve as a dev and eventually make my own studio.
>>483263430This pic might be better quality. This is what it feels like happened to gamedev
>>483259068Same down to a fucking T. Sometimes I think back to my Uni days with pride. Other times I wish I never went, did something else, a safer bachelors perhaps like geology, got a job working in an Australian mine company and earning 6 figures. But no, didn't work out that way at all. Didn't help I graduated literally 3 months before covid hit. It's been almost 5 years now and I still don't have a job that uses my degree. Signed up to be a simple librarian a couple weeks ago and if I don't get it I might just cry.
>>483263542just like make game
>>483263145Ohh, I see now, if that is how it is then floors thend to get smoother where people walk over, maybe something like this https://files.catbox.moe/v96fu7.png

Time to go to the gym, workout, then gamedev
>>483264598If this actually worked neets wouldnt exist
>>483264832Working out is a scam that makes you age faster.
>>483264861Xer's larpingYou need to invest into marketing and shilling your junk productalso dropshipping meme was popular for 6+ years so it's oversaturated af.
>>483263542Sorry, the agdg inner circle does not hire people at the moment.
>>483263610Where I'm from you need a masters in library science to even have a chance for a librarian job. They pay 6 figures here for that job too. Graduated almost a decade ago, I am a shameful failure. Best use I got out of it was a girl acting hyped at me at a wagie job for having the same degree she wanted. Idk how she didnt connect how useless it was when I was waging the same job as her degreeless self. I think she got a degree eventually and is now a.....hairdresser iiirc.I cant give up on gamedev now, going back to the wagecage means I'll probably be stuck waging into my 60s. I can just keep gamedevving instead and hope I pull of some good enough success so that I can just keep gamedevving instead of needing a job

Suppose you have an animation which holds the first frame for a dynamic amount of time, then proceeds to the rest of the frames and ends.would you write code to stop the animation mid-run or create anim_entry(looping) and anim_finish?

>>483266257No Tomo, no DD.
Do you think in a first person game its important for an accurate hitbox on a weapon swing, or is it better to make it simple and hit a larger area? For comparison, Skyrim just does a linetrace like 10 meters in front of you.
>>483266528I exaggerated
>>483266528lmfaobro you've been at this stage of prototyping for half a year?Just move on. roll with it. make game.
>>483264991I didn't write it properly, it was a customer service role at a library but it's a small-ish local one so I assume they'd get the employee to do library shit on the side regardless if they had a masters in "library science" (for real, what the fuck even is it? It exists in my country too). I've been in that same situation too lel, when I was a waiter the really hot Russian new hire started doing the same degree I graduated in, although she wised up pretty quickly, quit the degree and became an OF model. Sadly never found her account but she's doing VERY well off so good on her. If this gamedev stuff doesn't work out I'm probably eating buckshot, I'm not even joking at this point.
>>483266528I think it is important. Maybe extend it slightly so you don't have get up the enemy's ass. Making sure that the combat is more than striking in the enemy's general direction though, is important for me personally.
>>483266673I don't know why but it stopped working, recreating it
>progressWell its been 2 hard weeks but I managed to get a basic combat working, right now the only feedback to what's going on are the hp bars and the text messages. When I finish the back-end I'll start with animations and more visual feedback. After that I'm missing:>Cutscene SystemI've done a crappy one and I need to remake it to be able to do more scenes.>Dungeon SystemIts basically maps but with a couple more things going on.>Milestone systemTo check how the player progresses and which areas are unlockedThese are going to be another month, once these systems are done I'll be able to go forward with level design and asset design.Hopefully full Demo for the end of the year?
>>483246923I love this webm
Calling all smart devs: >>483264470
>>483266257same, had to go back to work a couple weeks early so progress halted completely. Next DD for sure.
>>483267205unplug controller
>>483266903When I was messing around with first person fist fighting combat I found if I made the hit distance accurate it felt like it was falling short. Best to extend it a little bit, set it up so it's easy to change so if play testers point it out
I have a state machine for my player movement, should I have a state machine for animations as well or is this dumb and overcomplicating things?
>>483266528>>483266641Do you think one day, for absolutely no reason, Todd went up to the lead programmer and said "you know about that sword hitbox you're about to implement? Make the impact point exactly 1.4 meters farther."No anon, they made this change as a result of testing and seeing that "accurate" sword impact didn't feel satisfying enough in first person, and that it was probably frustrating trying to hit stuff. So implement whatever core mechanics you need to have and then see how it feels and which you like better. Games aren't like architecture where you plan every single detail on a blueprint before you start working on the building, and then follow the recipe exactly to the millimeter, they're more organic in nature and grow through various pushes and pulls along the way.
In godot, when should I use physics_process and when should I just use process? My understanding is to use physics_process when I am moving entities (players, enemies, physics objects) but when should I just use process?
>>483268180I use process to handle user input.
>>483266528First person melee is usually extended because it's hard to gauge melee range in first person games.I'd say have an extended melee range unless you have a specific reason to not have it.Another tool to make melee easier and more intuitive is the Halo Energy Sword lunge.Could have it check if the enemy is out of range and if they are, your character will simply lunge or step forward a small amount to make sure the attack lands.
>>483268180I don’t know ive just been using the physics process like a tick counter kinda deal, basically for everything and only make other processes to include in the physics process. Probably not what you’re supposed to do but it works for me

I would like to again thank the anons who posted stuff about finishing a game in its shittiest state possible.It led me to a video from the dev of Thronefall and Islanders about his way of launching into a project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5K0uqhxgsEAll of that with some thoughts unlocked some ways for me to get back on Treasure Seeker and finish it somehow. I'll take Tetris as an inspiration to make it the simplest I can, scraping tons of stuff, and turn it as a little Arcade game instead of something more roguelite/RPG. Worked on it last time in Febuary but I did not make any WIP webm in 8 months.I'll try to jump on the ship again to publish something for Demo Day. Are there still streamers playing some stuff on DD?
Dear /agdg/,Due to unforeseen complications in my renderer, my engine will not be ready for this Demo Day 57. Alas! But there is always next time!I will keep you posted!Love,AnonP.S. poopoo peepee
>> Progress UpdateChanged the colours and started implementing the doctrine cards.
>>483269698This looks well made.

>>483269698will never even have a demo
I think I'll be skipping the next Demo Day as well
>>483270154Why?
I sure hope you're not making a conventional game that can't compete on graphics OR mechanics OR niche appeal.If you're a small indie, weirdness is your best bet for success.
>>483262395instead of textures, use the dithering to emphasize light/shade.there's also Return of the Obra Dinn if you need a 3D example of a detailed 1-bit game
>>483270517i dont enjoy playing wierd games though and i ngmi

>>483268065Anyone...?
>>483268065quit gamedev and become a firefighter
>>483268065That's how I did it really. But I also am using a 2D game and animation is just the switching of sprites instead moving the models.
How do piercing lasers in games like POE actually work?From what I can gather, despite the graphics and vfxs. There's a set tick rate so even if the graphic makes contact with the enemy it wont trigger until the tick actviates. Otherwise players can just abuse it by flicking the laser in and out of colliders

>>483272850>replying to an 11 hour old bait postare you retarded?
>>483272442I think you don't realise how successful aura and mado are, the majority of porn games make no money.
>>483271112I made a good game, but it's not good enough for modern audiences. it would have been a hit in 1997
>>483272965Maybe, but AGDG porn devs keep getting extremely successful time and time again. I'm also AGDG so maybe I have a chance.
>>483269546with that type of rework you might as well start fresh. nothing wrong with abandoning a project(unless you do this chronically)
>>483266724Dont do the buckshot anon, that's a stupid idea and you know it. Just cause it's rough doesn't mean you should end it. If you're that close to ending it drop the gamedev and get some help rather than making an irreversible mistake. Please anon dont do it. Talk to family, pick up the Holy Bible, just don't end it.

>>483273918He never tried joining the real discord
>>483273440What actually 'is' the best way to learn Godot (and other engines for that matter)?Like I keep picking up a Godot or UE5 tutorial video on YouTube and thinking "Is this guy even good at programming or is he spit balling?".
>>483263542I just got a 6 figure remote tech job, 1-2 hours of real work per day. Not bad
>tfw enginedev>tfw automatically superior to others using commercial engines:3>but where's your GAME;-)
>>483268180>process?Anything that's cosmetic, visual or GUI related. If the player has 120 FPS, visuals won't be as smooth if you put them in _physics_process. For me, physics is for "logic" and process is for "visuals". I handle collision detection and set the entity's "position" in _physics, but the sprite is actually moved in normal _process and always tries to match the _physics position.
>>483266936looks cool
>>483268065>state machine for movement, another statemachine for animationExactly how I did it. It works, but adding more stuff to it is pain, because I spaghettified it too much.
>>483273998osur's discord is cozy
>>483273220I abandoned too much. Finishing this even in a state that will displease me will actually help me beating perfectionism.I completed a hundred of musics and some EPs before, some shit some less shit, yet for a dev project the feel is something else. I can't let this corpse rot rent free in my head, I'll get it out no matter the state or it'll kill every dev stems in me.

>>483274304>Anything that's cosmetic, visual or GUI relatedAdvice I was given earlier was to also put input in there as well since I guess you would want the player's input to be as responsive as possible.Also what would you consider cosmetic? Currently, I have it so certain animations during certain movement states like pic related where my character lands. Would this be considered cosmetic?>>483274341I will try giving this a try really quick to see how it works.
There is a piece of information I'd like to communicate through color alone. Is that fine if I also let the user change the colors in the options menu?
fuck I appreciate you dawgs thanks for being alive. This timeline would be awful without you
>>483275801I think giving the user that kind of freedom would be somewhat troublesome. It would be difficult for people to share information on how to play the game. Say what if red text means something and blue text means something else, what happens if the player changes OG red text blue and viceversa?
>>483270140Actually, I found some obfuscation and encryption software the other day. When I integrate it into the build I'll prep a demo for /agdg/. Probably not for the coming DD, but the one after if I get the upgrade and transition systems implemented.
>>483275882Thanks, Anon!
>>483275617no, becoming a builder is less shameful than becoming a yesdev or staying a nodev
>>483275882love you anon, i might anonymously call you a nigger but i really do just want you to make it

>>483275460>ValhallaHow to spot a newfag tourist.
My first game thanks to which I moved out of my parents house and got a girlfriend (now fiancee)
>>483274320Thanks anon, glad you like it.
>>483275801I grappled with this problem for a long time. NEVER only use colour to communicate something. Always use at least a silhouette or movement.I have a background in evolutionary cognitive behaviour and I've recently been greenlit for a PhD in motivation and engagement. For UI, appeal to the basest evolutionary human behaviours. Our earliest ancestors, when hunting, relied on movement of prey or the general outline or silhouette, many animals had coats and colours for camouflage to either hunt prey or escape predators, so colour isn't as strongly correlated to distinguishing different features. This is why strong silhouettes are such a critical aspect of UI design and character design. Pic related. Bad design. Grey scale it and you can't tell what is what.
>>483236786This is actually spot on, it’s why nortubel gets praise and everyone spams his posts with “sovl”, because they know his stuff is shit and they aren’t intimidated.Make your game so good that the talentless hacks here seethe and cope every time you post
>>483276094LOL
>>483275882Thanks anon. Sorry if we are not always nice with you, or just productive, but I am glad you're there.
>>483236786>>483276613this is probably wrong, no one calls bokube soul
>>483276094Who was destroyed in AS ~1000, the Union survey vessel or the Al'Makhtar? Because>were summarily destroyedimplies it was not the vessel because it's in singular, but if it was the "humanoid Star Nation" that was destroyed by a single vessel, why give them such a memorable name?
>>483276792That’s because he’s developed a bad reputation here and the posters here hate him personally. If he was a nameless faceless anon he’d get 10+ sovl replies every post
>>483276438still countseven if he only lurked and barely interacted with the thread, it's still an /agdg/ game
oh my gamedev music of choice?loop this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvjhZ5uqIok
>>483276806Good pickup. I'll need to get a second pair of eyes on this lore document.Thanks for the feedback. Payment enclosed.
>>483276094Nice, your game and ToK have the highest potential to make it next imo.
>>483276490I wish I got a girlfriend (now fiancee)
>>483276936someone should test that theory by posting bokube screenshots or vids somewhere else, in some game developer gathering. post results if you do
>>483277235That would be interesting to see, but I think non 4chan gamedev communities would dial up the hugbox vibe even higher
not many shmup devs here
>>483277094LOL, both will fail
>>483276961He pumped and dumped the thread and you're still simping, never came back never even dropped keys. Big cringe
>>483276792It's not bad enough for me to call it soul. Remember, it's a kickstarter success. How many AGDG games can say that?
>>483277498>kickstarter successI've seen the kind of shit that gets funded by kickstarter, I'm not surprised.
>>483277094>amateur opinion
>>483277094but what about my game?
>>483277325what are there beyond this shithole? basedboy reddit? discord private communities? fucking twitter?
even with death of the author bokushart looks like a mobile game from 2016, objectively horrendous
>>483277679I assume mostly discord, I cant imagine any are actually useful. This place might not be useful either but at least it’s entertaining
>>483277498are you seriously intimidated by bokube?? lmao
>>483277545Yet other AGDG cubelikes have failed like Cube and Me
>>483273998
>>483277653I have released 2 games on steam and made enough to work on a third so not really, more like "mediocre success opinion"
>>483277815hmm so the bar is that low...

>>483277802Yes? He has the eyes of a murdercube.
>>483277802He's gonna shoot a school or suicide by cops at some point so we have to make sure the thread was hostile to him before the inevitable chimpout.
>>483277901Yes. Just make a successful couple grand kickstarter for your game I promise I will not call it soul if you succeed on that. You might find it to be harder than you expected though.
>>483277959>>483278082the game, not the developer, you dumb retards
>>483278164You're really hyping him for making 10k with kicksharter in 2016? Don't start spamming gore now

>>483278637sick comeback, retard
>>483278701Nah, I know where his successful 10k kickstarter game is.

Goodnight AGDG...I mean its not night but im so sleepy i think im going to take a nap zzz
My 2D pixel art platformer isn't just a 2D pixel art platformer. It's an innovator. It's got mechanics. It's got a real, breathing world. This ain't your grandad's kinda platformer, son. It's Skyrim with jumping.

I love Mondays!Went to the gym, went grocery shopping, cleaned my room, cleaned my girlfriend's bedroom, vacuumed the entire house, took a shower, had a high protein breakfast and now I'm ready to gamedev, finally!

>>483281413Anon do you create unique object classes for the same type of object? Its not efficient code.
talk me out of adding a y axis to my grid based pathfinding.
>>483281949Will it enhance the player experience more than working on something else?If not, then why are you doing it instead of that other something?
>>483281628>goblin resort game>bokubeNot released.>that space game undersomething$$$$$$$$$$$Not enough according to some.
>>483281527Because it's novel and actually good diversity
>>483278973https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/obfuscator-pro-89589#descriptionMakes code unreadable. Yeah they can unpack it or look at your scripts, but makes figuring out how everything works impossible. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/mfuscator-il2cpp-encryption-256631Works with the above. Converts C# to C++ and then to binary.Using both makes unpacking and figuring out projects too much effort.
>>483282227>Will it enhance the player experienceit would be cool, but it would involve rewriting so much of the games code i don't think the labour required is proportional to the payout
>>483281949become a plumber instead
>>483282445but why?
>>483243295Start a gamedev studio and hire them, there's so many desperate corpodevs out there right now.
>>483282445Sex with 王艾達!
>>483282445too busy cooming instead of developing, that's why you don't have a demo ....
>>483276094>obfuscation and encryption softwareBut doesn't that hurt performance?
>>483281628Goblin Resort still hasn't added porn yet afaik.Bokube is currently remaking the graphics of his levels.Underspace released in early access with a publisher.
>>483282808Yes it also makes it so you can’t patch your game (meaning if you made small changes to a few assets and pushed the update to team, players will need to download the entire game again)
I know it's called DEMO DAY, but can I have my full release during a Demo Day and submit it to the jam?
>>483284320Depends. Are you a whodev?

Mostly some detail work this week.Currently focusing on giving side characters minor corruption progressions.
Solo dev was a mistake.
>>483287336I wish I had an Aura gf...
Solo Dev is tough but I'm motivated
>>483287569I've managed to force myself to learn 3D and make textures and sound effects and music but marketing just seems so foreign to me and I have absolutely zero respect for marketing professionals.>>483287648The duality of man
>>483285107>>483284514Can it mean they bought it and removed from their wishlist?
>>483286919Underspace's music, Marmoreal's music, and, dare I say it, Bokube's music are way better than yours. Contractors can do a damn good job.
>>483287648gmi, a noetic>>483287569ngmi, a hylic
>>483287569>>483287648>>483287730I collaborated with an artist like 8 years ago and had finished a game in a month or two. Now I'm working on a almost similar sized game and it has been years. Lots of time has passed without realizing. I feel so bad.
>>483287840Yeah my guy, I have no opinion on this. Have not heard a lot of the underspace or bokube soundtracks, the marmoreal one is good for sure. Musical taste is as varied as it is personal. One of these days I need to fully engage in Bokube. Last deep dive I did was the russian catboy/aka order roaddev games. Bokube has always seemed fun to me, a lot of the criticisms around it seem to have to do with its difficulty level. That is a feature in my book. Underspace seems cool as fuck, when I have more time I want to dive into that too.
whoever makes next thread just compile all the progress screenshot into an image and repeat the process each thread if there isn't a new funny agdg meme to show
>>483287840Underspace’s music is shit and also very mismatched with the setting. Sounds like it’s from a nineties hallmark christmas movie. Ruins immersion.
>>483288259>One of these days I need to fully engage in Bokube.Oh my god, why? Just listen to his fucking twitter vids, don't fucking torture yourself by playing his game.
>gets featured on the cover of PC Gamer >that only yields three (3) new reviewsUndersisters…
>>483288647It sounds like the harry potter soundtrack which keeps in line with the fantasy theme
>>483287786No because it's not released yet
>>483288647>Underspace’s music is shitNo taste.>also very mismatched with the setting.Trueeee.
>>483285167DOS era EGA or bust
>>483288657Tricky, convoluted, strangely dark lore, full of weird and quirky design-choices? I think it may be right up my alley actually. I enjoy a lot of games that give the player some big hurdles to enjoy them, many would argue I am making one myself.
>>483287786>>483288902Actually more importantly, unwishlisted is a separate metric from wishlist->purchase conversions
>>483288259>Underspace seems cool as fuck, when I have more time I want to dive into that too.You'll never have time, Underspace takes 20 hours to complete, if you rush it. And he keeps adding shit.
>>483284487>she decided to pretend it never happened>yet she's talking about itnobody cares that Bill Gates was an awkward autist, nobody cancelled him
>>483288894>still climbing up in reviews while you don't even have a game releasedBig oof
>>483289084>And he keeps adding shit.It's an early access game, no?
>>483289245>>483289245>>483289245
>>483289084I spent 120 hours in Labyrinth of Galleria, hundreds in Binding of Isaac, 20 is not that much. Still, I hardly play anything outside of demodays now. Gamedev and regular work take all my time. Working 100% over the summer now too, it is fucking taxing.
>>483289053I wouldn't know, I'm not a big boy yet to dev for pc :(
>>483288894>hanging out with todd and getting articles next to elden ringSounds like the actual metrics for success are going great
>>483288934Fucking hell, you crazy bastard. Do us all a favor, and either just don't fuck yourself by playing it, or else record or stream the insanity, such that no one else will have to sit through it. I'm almost willing to bet you're the only one that'd stream it.Or just play for 1.5 hours, refund, and tell us what you found.
>>483289087You and me, complete strangers or people buying Microsoft products don't care yeah.But people in his personal life probably do.
>>483289552how many times you gonna make this post about him "hanging out" with some aaa dev? it's weird
>>483288260retard
>>483288894>gets featured on the cover of PC Gamer>>483289552>>hanging out with todd and getting articles next to elden ringHow does this happen?
>>483289585I really want to stream a bunch of agdg-games, fantaswat for instance for sure. Got a new laptop in february, but it is still too shitty for streaming. Can barely record long videos of DOJD. I am saving up for a good stationary computer. I would for sure, at some point, stream bokube.
being realistic brought me $115k from gamedev in 5 years. now I'd like to know what being unrealistic would have brought in, but I can't go back in time.
If you want to collab with an artist understand that they have the upper hand. Artists are more sought after than coders. So there might be times where you have to be okay with making THEIR dream game. Its like theyre the hot one in the relationship.
>>483290226my gamedev is doing technically simple games but putting a lot of work in the content. basically I'm going low on innovation and high in drudgery
>>483290226what would you have done differently?
>>483290507the opposite of >>483290459actually I'd have tried harder to get a jobbut if I had to gamedev, I'd try to make technically more impressive games and not lean so much on content/story
>>483289894Fucker, you'll never have any time if you begin to stream games, just skip streaming. Or play actually fun games if you barely have time.Is your laptop too weak for OBS Studio?
>>483290627Do you have any interest in working in the game industry now that you have released games? You can use that as leverage to get in
>>483290459Hey, that's also kinda me
>>483289729imagine getting so popular that people start talking about the time you talked to them once and awkwardly invited them out for dinner>omg lol what a creep!!if anything it makes Bill Gates somewhat relatable when usually he just seems like a ghost
>>483289876>How does this happen?Make a good game
Today is an easy day, we will add accumulative camera shake and floating text to juice up our geimu
>>483290679I do use OBS, for longer videos even my rpgmakerslop starts stuttering. I tried recording a video of cult of damaskus once, it did not work at all. I need to get a good rig, will probably be able to do so in a month or two. Working this summer will for sure help. When it comes to time I am hoping I may get some patreons one beautiful day when chapter 1 is completed so I can work less and focus more on gamedev and doing some agdg community stuff, such as streaming.
>>483240923Pepe no!
I present to you all, marching cubes.
>>483249071>>483249262it's good
>>483249071>>483249262prompt?
>>483255083Great video, a friend told me there's an AI that can also rig a skeleton in a 3D model (not just humanoid but spiders/bugs as well).And the AI can even give animations for that rigged skeleton.Do you know what he talked about? I've asked him but I think he's offline at the moment.
>>483290780I'd love to and I tried but my games didn't get me any interviews. Maybe if they were technically impressive.>>483290795That way we increase our chances of small/moderate success but make sure our games never become viral hits.
>>483291118Swedes earn tons of money, shouldn't have a single problem making lots of dough quick to pay for a good rig. Your employer is scamming you.
>>483287336is corruption and ntr optional?
>>483293064>That way we increase our chances of small/moderate success but make sure our games never become viral hits.I'm a solo dev and almost don't have any to put into my project. I can buy a few assets like music tracks but I'm not in a situation where I can fire people. And I think yo need a bit more money (also time and skill) than that to make a "viral" game. I'm literally making a game that is on mobile market already but adding new game modes to it. I just need some money to get myself up. Also maybe if it does a bit well with install counts it might be beneficial to me like being able to find investment etc. But yes I too realized that I haven't improved myself technically. I'm solo and didn't get the chance to dive deeper. That's not good to find jobs unfortunately.
>>483294491>have any to put into my project*money
>>483294491viral games often have low production values or at least their production values are unrelated to their virality
do people care more about potential playtime/content of a game or the novelty of a game?outside of roguelites, a unique idea and hook seems to trump depth/playttime.
>>483254742don't talk about your parents that way
>>483256082here's an AI tool for texturing 3Dhttps://stableprojectorz.com/
>>483296789thats pretty fucking neat, i hope it can do ps2 style textures
>>483296402Playtime correlates pretty strongly with sales but novelty is also a big multiplier.So if you're lacking in either, it'll be terrible. You need to achieve a decent amount in both.
