THIS DEMO DAY
Sunday plog entry #2Finished this: https://voca.ro/16VK9A40rWLcI think it turned out neat.Thanks for reading my plog (my progress blog.)
>>484187367now you've gained it
>>484187367Just fyi you can't use music to make up for bad level design
I can't tell whether my graphics are good or bad. They look good to me but no one compliments them and some aggies tell me they're shit. I'm not sure I can trust the latter group because of crabbing. It could be one guy who hates my game.I don't want to be oblivious but I also don't want to risk getting crabbed into over-investing in graphics at the expense of everything else.I guess I'll continue to live in ignorance.
>>484187760I've been practicing my level design skills a LOT. I still suck, and my DD level (if I make it to DD) will still suck, but I think there's been improvement. I'm excited to share it.
>>484187860Post your game graphics and find out. What you posted looks like a cute thing for a cutscene or map, but you need to put some 1920x1080 animated in-game visuals for anyone to give an actual gamedev opinion
>>484187860prompts?
Fat fuck 2.0. Tomorrow is mostly going to be a break day for most of it it seems while researching some code.
>>484188137mol'n

>>484188057>>484188073This is highest grade professional pixel art by https://www.deviantart.com/foolNo one here could get to that level of skill in 10 years of deliberate practice.
Opinions about the menu opening animation i did? It splits the screen open from an offset to the middle (offset because I thought it looked better when the character was fully on the screen still). Just wondering if it looks good.
>>484188878Lol buddy we can all spot AI slop when we see it. Relax
>>484189052Looks cool, unusual but cool. I like it
>>484189052Looks cool, but maybe impractical? If your camera is always over the right shoulder of the character, maybe it should slide from the right?
>>484188137Maybe I should make models with accessories in mind so they can be easily made and added onto them, or to make alternate versions of a model. But then again I am not sure the best way to handle an accessory system.
>>484186008I just worked on adding a simple "look at" system where the player's view focuses on objects of interest based on range and distancenow answer the question
Would you play as a spider?
>>484189052unique cool look
>>484189902spiders get the rope
>>484189052If you want to make some cash on the side, definitely consider putting these animations up on the asset store. There's a demand for these kind of animations since people want to make their own survival horror game.
>>484189786you stole this look at system from dingodev...
>>484191023uhmm... actually I stole it from mario odyssey
>>484191169>kannadev is a bocchiposterReally mudding those waters, but I know who is the no progressing poster now.

Can you really call yourself a video developer if you don't have Unity or Unreal certifications?

>>484189786A, so that was you.Currently I'm thinking about making a game like the coffin of andy and leyley but I have nothing to show.Yesterday I finished star driver and now I'm finishing my rewatch of shiki to drown my despair of failing to finish another game, after I'm done I'll start working on my new project.

>>484195041Fuck yeah, Riven.
>>484186235What is the controller equivalent of this in godot? Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_A):" for the left d pad? I can't find anything that works.
oh yeah? but can your game engine DO THIS???https://files.catbox.moe/m5yhdj.mp4
>>484196194no, it do this atm.I'm working on caves and caverns currently. Going to watch this video about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSa5O6knuwI
>>484195575wow, bummer. but thanks though, i'll just ignore it then.

Anyone know a way to make a character model appear to walk up smoothly while traveling up some stairs in 3rd person? Can't for the life of me figure it out bros...

>>484192472Thanks for reminding me of my desperate wish to make a Coffin clone that will never be fulfilled because I have no brilliant artist-writer wife to make it with. Kit9 is the luckiest bastard in the world.
>>484198330Kit9 didn't make the game, they're just the publisher. Nemlei did and she's solo.
>>484198612Kit9 contributes to coding and puzzle design on top of the publishing and community management, and the latest meme is to pretend they're married because it's hard to imagine Nemlei transferring the rights if that were not the case. Even if not true, it's the dream of most devs here, isn't it? Making games as code monkey for artist + writer wife?
>>484198960>Even if not true, it's the dream of most devs here, isn't it? Making games as code monkey for artist + writer wife?No. Literally half of my game ideas are only funny and cool to specifically me.

hey branno, i understand the need for a graphical makeover, but will people be able to toggle the old graphics?i personally find them appealing in their own unique way.
>>484199609sounds likehttps://vocaroo.com/14kyu3IOkUWD
>>484198237I don't think is applies to what I am trying to do...
>>484200113lmao
i dont want to work on my game anymore
>>484200952I don't want to work on my game in the sense I want to have already finished it and I hate that I have to go to work tomorrow taking away time from finishing my game.
>>484200952Look at it this way anon: Working on your game now lets your future version of yourself to take it easy from your game being a success.
>>484200952Open source it.
>>484201145im making it godot, it already is
I wish I had idea guy friends to come up with ideas for me
>>484201170I just decompiled it from your IP.
>>484201258ok tell me when its finished and i'll get the build up on our steam page

>>484202180I've never used OpenGL.
Okay, is the ultimate gmi making games that are shit then keep doing it? I just wanna get good so I can make a masterpiece, dip from the internet and work a normal job.
>>484198134Anyone...?
>>484202342scott cawthon made like 40 games before fnaf and basically no one ever played them and when they did they trashed them. If you have any halfway original ideas and keep working at it you will eventually get something
>>484198134>>484202526just make the stairs collision a straight ramp. easy.
I'm still making game. New NPC. :)
>>484203150For some reason just setting to a high value fixed it. Also for stairs I just use a function to teleport my character with raycasts
>>484162020>It's not perfect since sometimes I'll end up staring blankly at the screen trying to force myself to come up with stuff before finally giving up and switching off, but I try to make up for this over-counting by doing non-tracked work whenever I can.KEK! I've done this.
you should be able to do "Vector3(1,2,3) as Array" and "[1,2,3] as Vector3" but you can't and that's shit
>>484199609>TOMO8X>8Xgrim
Do any of you guys have this setting on?
>>484203702this is like 10 lines to add as a function if you need it.don't sully your code with natural language and hidden overloading crap, especially when it involves different reference types, where casting generates garbage for the collector
>>484203942I don't use the physics crutch and let my game instead be judged on real merits.
>>484203163Hey I remember you, god job! I don't like your game thoughever, clones repulse me
>>484204094it's one line for each direction
>>484186235if i had what i think is a really cool and relatively simple concept in mind for a game, is there anywhere i could pitch it that i might get a 5% cut of the profits or something? i don't have any dev expertise or art skills, unfortunately.
>>484204616Hate to break it to you friends but ideas are worth NOTHING(0)
>>484204616wouldnt that be the dream. anyone can come up with an idea, its all in the execution when it comes to art
>>484204616just learn some skill.
>>484204616Unfortunately for you, most gamedevs think they have enough good ideas, so your idea is worthless to them.Rather than trying to find that unicorn gamedev who's willing to consider other people's ideas, I'd suggest learning the basics of game development and making a bare bones prototype. With that it'll be much easier to attract collaborators and you can ask for a lot more than 5%.
Anyone using Unity? Currently trying to create the environment for my levels. How should I go about this? Should I create my 3d environment and assets in another software? or is unity good enough on its own to create assets?
>>484204935we do not support that engine here, sorry
>>484189786I worked on something like that not too long ago. A few things I learned:>Give your character an array of look-at targets.You're going to eventually run into situations where you have multiple overlaps going on. It's going to happen.Instead of directly setting the player's look-at target to the new overlapped entity, add it to an array. Have the player, on a quick timer, run through that array and find the closest valid (not behind a wall) target and set their look-at target to that. You don't have to do it on tick, but it should be pretty quick.>Use multiple overlap spheres of different size for enter/exit overlap.Rather than having one single sphere that toggles the head tracking on and off, use two. Have your regularly-sized sphere for when the payer enters and begins head tracking. Use a second, slightly larger sphere, for when they leave tracking distance. Depending on your setup you could probably automate this without having to set multiple sphere sizes yourself.This will prevent things like an idle animation or something similar from toggling the head tracking on and off while the player (and/or target) are standing still. It also makes things feel more polished in the same way a bit of camera lag makes a game feel less rigid.
>>484204935Unity has Terrain objects and Probuilder which can be useful for specific purposes, but for the most part you want to make modular assets on Blender and then place them in-engine.
>>484205027fuck you
>>484203150the actual question is how do you make the player slip down ramps in 2d
>>484203163keep it up yancydev
>>484204824>>484204841>>484204864>>484204853all very valid and reasonable points of view, i appreciate the responses bros. maybe i will look into seeing what it would take skill wise to put together a prototype. and if nothing else, i'd probably enjoy it if i can get it working half decent. lol
>>484205027he (male) ugly (looks like a tranny who abuses his child)
>>484205524thats the spirit
>>484186470implemented basic projectiles, stats are driven by the turret shooting them so I can easily have different kinds of projectiles, rates of fire, etc.
>>484195041
the pedophiles madodev, eric barone, froggygreen/frosch and horbror/horgrunt should kill themselves
>>484204517I know that YANCY is derivative, but I think there's a lot of unexplored design space in Zelda 1. The later titles just aren't as nonlinear or ruthless. I want to capture those elements, but with modern, tight action gameplay. >>484205486I will never die
>making platformer>movement is so versatile that the terrain cannot contain the playerHow do I stop this?
Fixing the UVs on all my spline paths was so much god damn work just so I can have the undersides a little darker, have all the textures facing the correct direction and put red arrows before jumps.Dealing with the consequences of my half assed asset creation but it's done now.
>>484207094Good work, but don't even bother with that stuff anymore. It's good enough to where you can just keep blocking out new content. The gameplay itself is looking polished enough to pass in a presentation and the only thing that would hold you back is lack of stuff to do as you zip around the map.
>>484206801Make it less versatile. There is a reason Mario 64 has remained the flagship 3D platformer despite countless slop platformers giving the player too much control and "modernizing" limitations away over the years.
>>484206801>>484207525In the same vein, gate some of that versatility behind player progression.
I want to make my own gacha game with cute girls, but mine would have actual gameplay
>>484206801three options>make player movement less crazy>make enemies and level geometry more crazy>let the player be a god
>>484207634It's easier than ever with AI, but don't fall for the gameplay trap. Gacha is about spreadsheets and meta.

>>484206504I'm actually a hebephile, rookie mistake
>>484207690>>484207628>>484207525I don't mean that theres too many options, just that if you know what you're doing with them you can basically scale any wall. The horizontal movement is pretty limited but the vertical movement isn't. Im making a goat-like.>make enemies and level geometry more crazy>let the player be a godI think ill try both
>tfw when you do 1-8 damage against 4 health vs 1000-8000 damage against 4000 health
I'm putting pronouns in my game
>>484208583It would be a far more creative endeavor to make a game with no pronouns.
>>484208583My game will have two genders. Dwarf and elf.
touched up my title screen
>>484207468Thanks but my level is already quite dense so right now I'm going for the polished vertical slice. Something I can use as a Kickstarter demo is the goal so the red arrows are very important because they give more warning that there's about to be a jump.
>>484208853nice and comfy in a way.
have gone through like 5 virus/malware checkers on my phone thanks to the b archive being riddled with sketchy stuff that activates the moment you click a post eg >>000000 or a pic/webm nothing found even though it downloaded two files i hit delete on. idk if they're in the trash since files deleted in that disappear just like webp files don't appear at all except they can't even be deleted in my experience. can't really do much else or even gamedev with my focus on that. nothing found but paranoid there's something on my phonewith that said how are you demo's coming along? too busy to work on them and forced to miss demo day or maybe you are ahead of schedule and it's good to go?
>ran find and replace on 7.7GB of textcomputer has been shitting and dying for hours now
>>484209862i feel the same way, looks like a nice place to catch some rest and read a book. probably a little cold but that's alright
>>484207094>>484209670Man first person view makes it feels huge and dense but this second overview pic makes it feel so small. Lel how perspective affects it.
>>484208853wow i love left it's such an improvement! jk i know right is the new. definitely much better feels cozy too but i might just be saying the cozy thing thanks to what the other anon said which i imagined
>>484207094movement looks fun but what's the context?Collectathon? Time attack? Seek and defeat enemies? Will other levels be linear, or have puzzles or somehow mix it up? Just a toybox game to move in?Open sonic-likes never feel like there's a purpose to the movement imo. Like there's always something missing or off about the whole thing somehow. Hopefully you can solve this and make the first good one.
>>484208853How do I make good logos like this? Is that just a font for text?
>>484209670I know you read my comment, but I don't think you really heard what I was saying.The red arrows are good. It's great you did that.Your level is dense. There are many ramps and platforms.What I don't see in your clip are things to do in your level. What does the player do while zipping around? What is their goal? Are there obstacles? Are there challenges?It's these things which elevate your demo level with a cool locomotion system to what feels more like a full-fledged game.
how do i stop being insecure about everything i make not being even slightly good
AAAAAHHHHH FUCK I WASTED THE WHOLE WEEKEND PLAYING GAMES INSTEAD OF DEVVING FUCK THIS STEAM SALE
>>484211618>How do I make good logos like this?idk I got an acquaintance to make the initial design for me, I just polished it from there. from what I saw, she gathered a shit ton of references and picked out what she liked most about them, maybe try that instead of trying to make something right off your imagination>is that just a font for textno, it's a custom drawn logo
>>484211910You drew it by hand? How so clean?
>>484211847It's good to take breaks, anon. It will prevent burnout.Maybe tomorrow you fix one tiny bug you've noticed so you keep the ball rolling?
>>484211981by knowing how to draw, silly. linework tools in the program I use (paint tool SAI) helped a lot

is node based state machine is good for 3d rpg controller in godot? any other alternatives?
I just corrupted 10 days of output, feels bad. Thought I had a backup, it only has a few randomly spaced pieces.
>>484211213All of the above except for puzzles.Mario Sunshine style where you jump into the level multiple times to clear different objectives.I think Sonic games are the best when you've played a level multiple times so you get a good feel for it and can really smash it.My level is actually just one section of a huge level. It was so big that on a first play through, it could take over an hour to beat! So I've split it up into three smaller levels and I'm going to make the giant combined level be an optional level that rewards multiple collectables that only unlocks after you've played each section on it's own.>>484211750Oh I see, yeah completely agree! I have been working towards that. Right now I've only got the basic objective to run to the end and grab the cube, but I'll work on some of the other objectives for demo day.>Destroy all enemies in a specific area>Collect the red coins(but not red coins)>Time attack>Reverse level>Destroy roaming enemyStuff like that.

What's the evolutionary reason for humans liking the smell of their own balls?
>>484218446
>>484214210which one?nortubel has like 3 black chicks and a feminine black shota >>484214887same except the shark girl instead
>>484218446Because by smelling them you evaluate their health and possibly take action in case there's a problem, since balls are essential for reproduction and passing your genes this exerts evolutionary pressure. What does this have to do with gamedev though?

>>484222646wrestler looks like he has his elbow in front of the alien face girl, but his hand is behind her head. Feels a bit strange. Imagine the scene in 3d, how each is posed in relationship with each other. having both characters arms at the same angle basically touching is causing that issue here.
It's summer. You could be at the beach with your girlfriend right now, but instead you're tinkering away in front of a glowing box in a dark room. Fo' shame aggy, fo shame.
pornhub plus I can just google pics of the beach if I want
>>484221157That's a problem that could easily be fixed by having the right girlfriend.
>>484215315Oh shit, he's the guy who made this back in the day. Talk about a comeback. More proof that slow and steady wins the race instead of trying to make muh billionaire game on your first try.
>>484214269It's called seeking for attention
>3 daysso it's safe to say if you arent done, you should just throw in the towel, right?
>>484224305No? It's possible to make an entire game in 3 days and there's extra days
Hello aggy.Today is monday, I dev.
>>484224305nigga you should be making entire games in 3 days
>>484223509Even if I had a girlfriend I have an assignment due tomorrow for class so we'd both just be at home doing the assignment in front of a glowing box in a dark room instead of going to the beach.
>>484215315Doubt?
>>484224785How many of these did you make? This one and Underspace, what else?
>>484224950That's it, I haven't had any other ideas. I plan on making one for Afterlife Gladiator whenever that releases, I really like the main character's design.
while you were out having premarital sex, I studied the engine.

>>484231419Much better
>>484186470So excited for demo day, i love demo day
>>484189052don't do the split. It looked bad when character was split (hand with gun). your project looks really cool
>>484232535Excited to see your progress too, stream again, but try to focus on the games and not other shit.
>>484233067I won't play pogo 3D with tiktok music full volume between every game this time surely

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

>>484234137same
>>484234137My game is too good for demo day
I don't have a demo ready. All I have been doing is implementing character states and fixing bugs.
>>484233579im fine with pirating games completely but if you are a streamer with any modicum of success and you are pirating games you are genuinely subhuman
Progress Posting TimeStarted working on the DD game, got the main menu, the hero selection and the intro walking animation doneI'll start with the monster encounter today and hopefully tomorrow I'll get to work on the combat part of the game.

>can't stop thinking about dicks
>>484239156>>can't stop thinking about dicks
>>484239051I'm need to juice it or lose it. Lord YouTube told me so. (Shake your phone while reading this for more fun.)
>>484186470Added money and the contract system to the game.
>>484239051Gameplay doesn't sell.
why didnt you assholes tell me that all that matters for sales is your capsule art... you... you... really why...?
>>484239718Capsule... Art...?The player character model?

>gamefeel niggas when a game from 2003 outsells their game during its release month (they forgot to add the gameplay)
>>484240292>>484240579Wait I like Rocket League for the physics, and their ability to be "felt".I'm entering a rabbit hole
>>484196529for me it was when "fog" over water was flat PNGs fading as you go through themI screamed laughing when in the ending of Obduction explosions are flat animationsabsolute joke devs eternally making the same game and getting funded by rich boomers who remember their old games fondly.They're 60 now, they only need to remake the other 3 myst games and it's easy cruise until death
>>484240426For the gamefeels
>>484240663what is gamefeel
>>484228294I fear neither, I fear only the man who has sold the same game 10,000 times.
>>484241073Such a man would be terrifying!
>>484240782when you hit an enemy and there is bing bing wahoo
>>484240663>gameplay is this easily forgottenMeanwhile gamefeel chads making unforgettable experiences

>>484241569You don't even know what a game is
>>484240808it's when you remember something embarrassing you did years ago while playing a game
>>484241514uhhh I think you misread that post backwards champ
>>484242348I think you forgot what that post said about gameplay but I don't blame you since gameplay is so easily forgotten.
And the furtive gameplay... so easily forgotten...
>>484242684>furtive gameplayStealthgamechads where we at?
Hang on, you're telling me I don't need anything more besides a title screen in my game to make it sellable?
>>484242784Ever since preorders were invented you don't even need that you just need to generate hype somehow
my game is the polar opposite of comfy and cozy, which is why i failed and losed
>>484242523are you retarded?

all the lasting indie hits of the last 8 years were pioneers of gameplay. Try to remember you're arguing with contrarians who don't believe a single word of what they're saying here

>>484243662this, Vampire Survivors, Brotato, you name it
YOUDo you have any secret messages in your game? No, I don't mean some moral take-away, but literally a coded/encrypted text somewhere in your environment.
>>484243852every singe one of those are successful because of the gamefeels, not because of the gameplay

The sole purpose of gameplay is to support the gamefeels. Without gamefeels, gameplay is pointless.
Happy new month anons. I wish you a lot of progress. I couldn't reach my milestone that I set for myself in june.

unreal bros, in inherit-chaining bad? if so, why exactlt? does it affect performance a lot? I'm doing a small slop project with 4 plugins that all want the playerpawn to inherit from their specific blueprint class. So I just made my pawn inherit from plugin bp class A, which inherits from bp class B, which inherits from bp class C, which inherits from bp class D, which inherits from Character(C++). It just works, almost too good. Im a bit confused rn.
*sigh*too bay demo day is all the way in two months. I really wanted to show off my game
>>484246456>*makes it despite your seething*
>>484213020>Mario Sunshine style where you jump into the level multiple times to clear different objectives.Smart. As an indie you'll only be able to make so many levels, so best squeeze as much value as possible out of each one.
>>484221421I'm making a CRPG (the one with pink placeholder main character), but for the last few days I've been working on "Core" (or back-end, business logic, whatever you want to call it), so nothing to post here.
progress.I have 3 days to try and make it possible to catch a fish.
>>484246485the bar for success is pretty low for me so based on that I'd say yes unless I completely fumble the release.
>>484247698imagine how productive you'd be if you didn't have to think about inheritance and object hierarchies
>over 100 joined on DDIs there a place like AGDG but less crowded?
>>484247698you'll see in time as the complexity grows. A class will need a specific field, this other final class only doesn't need X. You can put them all into a List for Y...except those two classes, you need to check if it's not one of them (...)things become an exception nightmare, it's better to separate those into smaller classes rather than inheriting
how many whodevs will show up this time around?
>452 Joinedit's over...
>>484248685Marnix's discord has a huge channel of like 300 people talking about entering, so I'd imagine quite a few.
so called free thinkers calling their bow ability "Aimed Shot"
>>484248685>>484248772Is Marnix really going to play every game there lol
>>484248772entering OUR DemoDay?Wtf, we can't allow this to happen. From now on if you're not posting progress on agdg AT LEAST solid two months before DD, then you're not allowed to enter
>>484248938actually thats my crossbow ability
>>484248938Good idea, will now add a skill called Aimed Shot
>>484248445The boat coming from the dirt spooked me.
>>484248938My game will have "Unaimed Shot"
>>484249259But I want to use DD like a jam and make 2 day games? It killed the actual AGDG jams so I have this right
>>484249867People with DD history are free to do it obviously, I'm talking about literal whodevs that didn't post anything here or another DD and their previous games weren't posted to older DD too.
>>484249867>It killed the actual AGDG jamsAnd that's a good thing. If I want to do a game jam I can just join the millions of other game jams. Plus game jams is for weak-minded people who lack vision and need a "theme" just so that they can call themselves "gamedev". DD actually lets you show off your long-term project that (You) wanted to make.
>>484199609I so miss tomo. I want to finish our volley ball game together but Tricky Madness has me to tied up anyways.
>>484250509Same, I wanted to make an Immersive 3D RPG with her. She disappeared after submitting to v3 back in May
>>484234073
>>484247997Im not seething, if you think gamefeel matters more than gameplay or vice verse you are ngmi
>>484250440Why is it a good thing given the existence of AGDG jams doesn't stop you from doing the things you mentioned and DDs don'g have money prizes like some AGDG jams had?
nigga you're about to inherit an ass whooping from yours truly
how likely is to make half of minimum wage with a mobile game?
>>484248562/gedg/ progress day
>>484251072There are two kinds of people who make video games. People who have a vision of what they want to make and grifters.Grifters come in two flavors, too. The first kind is the obvious one, who are in it for the money - either to shit out cheap shovelware phone games or have deranged dreams of being the next big hit and becoming a millionaire overnight.The other is the one that doesn't care about making something but wants to get into gamedev for the perceived social status. They are the retards you see all the time who are like "I want to get into gamedev what should I make? What engine should I use?". They are the ones who flock towards game jams because they tell you what to make (giving you a theme) and offer low commitment (few days to a week at most). This general is already infested with the first kind of grifter, it doesn't need a flock of the second.
What games are we most looking forward to in Demo Day 57?
>>484241650Great fucking work, looking forward to playing this again.
>>484251934what about the ones with a vision who are in it for the money?
>>484252157That's still fine. At the end of the day gamedev is work so it's not unreasonable that people want to get paid for their time. But there's a difference between "I want to make this thing that will bring in some money" and "I want to get money and I heard indie games can make it big"
>>484251934Nonsense. There's all sorts of different people that makes games for different reasons they don't all fit on your two stereotypes.
>>484252393Name them then.
>>484252086Not mine cause I ain't participatin'
the glowing pulsating RGB light on my new mouse is blinding me
>watching vocaloid godot tutorial in japanese (don't ask) >helltaker reference in the first minute Man, I don't event want to be rich, I just want my game to become an internet cultural phenomenon like that... Just imagine opening random videos and seeing people reference your game for a brief second in it.
>>484252650>buying gamer meme shityou deserve it. real devs use real pcs
>>484252485Impossible, there's too many. Some examples are people that make games for fun, people that make games as uni projects, people that make serious games to help other people etc
The numbers don't lie: I am NOT good enough.
>>484252650Cover it in duct tape?
>>484252839If it doesn't come with a cute Japanese fan gf I don't even want it.
>>484252839i imagined it. im sitting at my desk, the vtuber mentions my game and i go "huh" and move on. doesnt seem like a particularly appealing scenario to me.
>>484253614My opinion is worth as that of 10 000 men.
trying to make a game when the basics of your hierarchy of needs are not fulfilled is too taxing on the brain. I want to dev but all I think about is that I need money to pay bills and eat.

I'm working on a multiplayer securities trading game with a friend who is in finance. So far we've got a universe of 3000~ stocks, and eventually they'll have their own bonds and options as well. There is going to be some character building type stuff too. The idea is it's a grimy cyberpunk game with where you'll be in some corporate faction in a market that spans the solar system. You'll be able to start a firm, get leveraged from a bank, get margin called, etc.The server(s) are written in Clojure, and among other things, they emit ticker prices over a websocket that Godot clients connect to. I'm wondering if anybody has recommendations on one-to-many faucet-style connections and if I'd be better off using RPC on some other transport. I saw a video recommending SSE but I don't think Godot 4.x's HTTPClient fully implements HTTP/2

>>484270203I'm just gonna shill my game in all of the online lolicon circles
>ericinnature.png
I have two options for my Unreal based game. It's a procedurally generated action RPG.1) Have full procedural generation, use Lumen for my lighting and suffer the performance and hardware limitations of that. i.e. Only people who own a 2070+ will actually be able to play my game2) Procedurally generate a few hundred versions of my levels and bake lighting for them. The final game would just pick a version of the level at random. This would lower the hardware requirements and double performance at the cost of true proc gen levels.
>>484271876>What's the proper way to shill on those threads?you don't seem to get it. My game is just the type of game that would immediately get swarmed by fanatics of the genre. There's no "proper way". Some games are just made for it. You drop the game once and you're done.
>>484271876>Sounds expensive. They'd say you're benefiting from their fame.Possibly. I dunno. I have a feeling many of them would jump at the chance at being in a game and having some creative control over their characters. Especially the mid tier youtubers or people like Let Me Solo Her.
>>484271750Post something new
>>484271876>How will people find your account/posts?They will be recommended to people with interest in them based on the tags and other algorithm voodoo. That's the point of social media, right?

if only you guys knew the hardships and sacrifices I go through for my game. I know it will pay off and that keeps me going though thanks for sharing the struggles with me /agdg/
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>484272318>Post something new
>>4842720323) hand-craft modules that each have their own baked lighting which you then use to procgen some levels.
>>484239718That's not correct. Where capsule art matters is pulling in organic traffic in Steam. After that your game's trailer and screenshots need to be interesting enough that they'll stick around and go through them and hopefully that will turn it into a sale.The goal is to get as many eyes as possible on your Steam page and for that Steam page to be enticing enough to make sales. Of course you can get eyes on your Steam page from outside Steam, where capsule art doesn't matter much.
>>484272934I'd do that if Unreal supported it but their level instances don't have baked lighting implemented.
>>484272889wtf im straight and I want to have sexo with this person. that hair looks so soft
>>484272559>That's the point of social media, right?Yes, of course. But,1. How will/ why would the algorithm pick up on your post to recommend it?2. The volume of possible recommended tweets/posts is too high. And there are many devs that expect that to happen just like yourself. Your turn might never come to be picked up by the algorithm even if it picks your account/posts.
>>484273109Isn't baked lighting literally just vertex colors? You can do that in blender if you want.Maybe you should use a production ready engine like Godot
>>484272889
>>484273352You could bake the lighting externally but then dynamic objects wouldn't be affected by it and you wouldnt' get reflection support.

>>484273241I think it's a matter of making interesting posts that will get likes and follows. Even without making any interesting posts I already got 20 views on my last post.I imagine if I can make interesting post that will make some of those 20 people like my posts then it will start snowballing into more views due to the algorithm recommending the post to more people since it has likes and more users liking it due to the increased exposition to more users.As for the competition with other devs, there's no helping that. I have to make a better game than them.

>>484272032Depends how often the levels reset I suppose. If you had 1000 variations and the player played each variation for 5 minutes you already have more than 80 hours of gameplay without repeats. If the player only played for 10 hours it's unlikely they'd ever play the same level twice.

>>484279843He's still complaining about laptops. Why is he insisting on using a laptop for gamedev??? Am I missing something? This is what happens when you have too much money in your hands. And there IS a such thing as too much money for some people apparently. I remember posting something similar to this just yesterday. Many of these "successful" indie dev truly don't have any idea what to do with the money they have. They are good at what they do but in other aspects of life they are totally dumb.

I dev on a very shitty laptop. I do so because it forces me to optimize my game to run on low end hardware. If I make my game's performance so terrible that it cooks my laptop and forces me to buy a new one, well, that's just me having to pay for my own incompetence.
>>484281634He could literally just buy a top of the line macbook pro and run a windows or Linux vm with VMware, what a total retard
>>484275980This, my biggest moments of inspiration when I'm stinkmaxxing.
>>484285072O-oh ok that makes sense
>>484287178apart from the very basic convections for the language you're using if you ask five people on how to name things you get seven different answers
>>484287560I'm fine with that, hopefully I'll find some commonality between those answers
>>4842867263070 on a laptop has an 80-120 watt TDP, on desktop it's 220.
>>484287215Yea this is actually smart.It's part of the reason why I don't even care to upgrade my GPU.
>>484287215I dev on a desktop from 2016 (i7 6700 and a 1060) and I'm not planning on upgrades any time soon. My gamedev triumphs will be even greater, and my computer will be in a museum for centuries after I'm gone.
>>484286315Sure.Personally I'd name them StatusEffect and PoisonStatusEffect SlowStatusEffect and AttackBoostStatusEffect.
>>484288305Thanks, is there a reason you dont use underscores to seperate the name and the inheritance class?
>>484288395Underscores look retarded and amateur. Like a kid in his first programming 101 class
>>484287274is it pyossible to install windows on a mac? not vmware
acab on my twitter profile stands for all cops are based but nobody will ever know it
>>484288496Thanks, thats good to know
FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS
>>484288068i5 6600 and 970 here. My game runs at 60-100+fps so I'm guessing I don't have to optimize much
>>484288691This is where your Braid: Anniversary Edition money is going
>>484288509Ye look into dual booting
>>484288496Wrong. Using the way he is using is the norm in languages with no namespaces. Nothing wrong with that unless your team determines that as a rule.
>>484288691Where is he getting this money from anyways? Isn't he basically broke from the Braid rehash?
>>484288923>Isn't he basically broke from the Braid rehash?no? are you retarded?
>>484288496>Underscores look retarded and amateur. Like a kid in his first programming 101 class
>>484288923>Isn't he basically broke from the Braid rehashno that is an /agdg/ meme
>>484288798Oh cool it has a 75% discount for the steam sale. I'm guessing after many years of being released it's finally worth putting it on a heavy discount for people who waited to buy it.
>>484288550He/him stands for huge engorgement/huge inconvenient member
>>484215067Good call. Ignore anyone asking for the old art, or a toggle, or any retarded shit like that. Also, fix the name. The name is absolute poison nonsense right now. Sounds like a shitty free flash game from 2004.
>>484288395Because I use them as replacement for / when needed and it made it ambiguous when I had "Directory/A_File" and "Directory/A/File"
testing bigger shop interior
>>484283221I just use a stack of books. I wouldn't trust a flimsy box like that.
>>484289009>not even 2 months>already 75% offHe's desperate, very desperate. The irony that game's now adays are becoming more strict on discounts. Literally not a single one on my wishlist over 70% and it quickly drops below said number in less than 5 games. Iirc years back I'd see 80% and 90% or so I think.
>>484283221I just use a queue of books. I wouldn't trust a flimsy box like that.
Who is JBlows target audience anyways?
>>484288496That is not the reason and I do use underscores but on different contexts for instance when using Hungarian notation.
>>484289428>>484289428>>484289428
>>484289381me
>>484289009imagine having bought this game about a month ago and seeing this
>>484289538There is basically 0 reason to ever buy a game full price on steam. Steam sales and daily deals occur often enough that you can wait 2-3 months and get it for minimum 25% off.
>>484288550wtf....
>>481493927Development record, Day #822Apply new build hash script to gameBegun rewriting every single build scriptStarted effectively using project manager to track my gamedev workAbandoned development record scoring system since now I have more accurate metricsMaybe even the record itself is obsolete nowThis might be the final record
>>484287213>he doesn't understand the basics of capitalismYeah it unironically is your fault that you got scammed by a billion dollar corporation. They're out to scam you. That's their whole business model.
>>484286281>>484286627Why would I replace my whole computer retards? Also I don't have the money, that's whole point of my rant.>>484286281>A quality PSU will easily last a decade.Well it didn't you fucking idiot. It happens. Things break down.
>>484301441Poorfags are usually poor because they make poor decisions with their use of money.
