You meant to say "Boob too small edition", right Anon?
>>486669779how to get a gamedev wife who looks like this and accomplishes my boobhat dream? i can dev and when i'm thinking really hard on how to fix some issue or draw an enemy she can lay them on my head while i think
Post progress, or else.
>>486669991My progress is too weird to post.
if you want to make porn, just make porn. no point in trying to shoehorn it into a game unless you have the reach to build a patreon paypig following
Minesweeper, but you're a dwarf cleaning company.
>>486669991I added sound effects to my game.
>>486670223those sound like ass
>>486669991I nodeved for 12 hours then nodeved for 4 hours.After such a hard day, I'm now gonna sleep for 8 hours.
>very successful indie RPG>no RPG tag
>>486669943>how to get a gamedev wife who looks like thisI wish I knew so I could have her provide voice acting
>>486670274RPG tag is meaningless.
>>486670253But you haven't heard them.
hehehe, i created a new plane.
>>486670274>atmospheric>minimalist
>>486669991new weapons(thunder glove isnt that good against fast enemies)
>>486670434Nta, I like them, and I like how you sound like Morgan Freeman.
Animal crossing repetitive path placement BTFO
Got a meeting with someone at Xbox in a few hours.If you never see me again I was either promoted to PGDG (later losers!!) or I was killed and they stole my game (avenge me).
Is it possible to find tilesets/textures for a topdown that uses static sprites of this quality? Picture something like Diablo 2 but a bit higher in fidelity.
>>486670848I don't have the resources to fight Microsoft mercenaries, you are asking too much of me.
>>486670223If your game is small scale enough this is fine. I instead use a global sound player queue system to reduce the total amount of nodes needed, and I like how it lets me play any sound from anywhere.
>>486669991this is the freshiest thing I have
>>486670938iirc Diablo1/2 Starcraft, and pretty much all 2D stuff from that era simply had 3D models and took pics of them under all needed angles.You can probably get it running it in an afternoon by grabbing a super HD model of your choice but displaying only with Impostors.
>>486670671That probably requires a simple shader which someone else has already written.
>>486671003>I instead use a global sound player queue systemDidnt know this was a thing.
>>486670845Looking good. New Horizons was a UX disaster
>>486670680>fast enemiesthat nigga moved like a metre from where you cast it
>>486669779Lord, why must you tempt me with such beautiful women while I have work to do?
>>486669943Make an otome game, you'll get rabid female fans like this.
>>486671604Be thankful for temptation because only now you can defeat it.
>>486671667make a princess maker esque game but with a male NEET. So you can fix him.
>>486669991I've been revamping my animation pipeline for a week, so I have jackshit to show for progress since I'm just trying to land back were I was but more cleanly.Getting into the last stretch tho, should be able to start getting *some* benefits from all that headache soon.
>>486671346Here's the article I copied initially, it's pretty straight forward.https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/4.x/audio/audio_manager/index.htmlOver time it has evolved for my game, it's worth it I think.
>>486671065If thats the case I could just try out the idea with actual 3D models in a topdown view first, thanks. It might look ridiculous using a static image with no animation though.
>>486671667>1 reviewshe must reaaally love love love the game to write her first review on it
>>486648457>>486654610I use a shader to curve and shift the content on the page. Because the animation of the page turn has a set number of frames, I don't need to make a smooth animation for the content. Instead, I check on which frame the page turn animation is, and change the shader parameters based on that.
>>486670848i WILL avenge you.
>>486671515It's so sad because it's like a 30 minute implementation
>>486671872>It might look ridiculous using a static image with no animation though.A 2D animation is just a static image you swap once in a while.You will probably have to make a custom system to take pic of every animation step, and then make a custom vertical billboard shader that can both pick the proper angle (or have a different billboard per angle) AND iterate among the frames of the current animation. Look into "AnimationMode.StartAnimationMode/BeginSampling/SampleAnimationClip", at worst.
>>486671667>gigglesqueak noisesthat's a fujo, right?
>>486671992>I use a shader to curve and shift the content on the pageOne day, I too will unlock this power.
>>486671667Fuck, I need to learn how to make an otome game.
>>486671667that's a tranny albeit
ive started to go over all enemies, weapons, items and polish them instead of adding new stuff, there should be enough content for now.for the enemies i have thought about adding new attacks based on the current chaos level, i could reuse them later that way and it adds alot more to "lategame" runs
>>486667939nice try newfagif you weren't such a newfag you would have known that game has been in development for nearly 5 years already
>decide to be a good boy and use Unity's ScriptableObject to store game data instead of sticking them in a prefab>List<string> inside it get reset to null every time I close/open the project... wtf.
>>486670848I'd hate to see you go, bunposter...
>>486673654you'd be the only one then, hate that faggot redditor
>>486673134So what if they are, chud?
>>486673470Changed values at runtime maybe?
>>486674056Yeah, I fill those values with an [ExecuteInEditMode] script.Is that not allowed for scriptable object, do I need to call a specific thing other than AssetDatabase.SaveAssets?'cause outside of the whole "not saved between session", it's working perfectly fine and without errors, which is why I'm confused.
>>486673654Same, he's the only guy that talks about Asian culture with me here
>>486670848>Meeting someone at a sinking ship
>>486674283ExecuteInEditMode is the problem probably.
>>486664804Id team up with some devs here, depending on the game the team would vary>>486667939>Do that and you'll find success;_; I don't think it'll be easy. Some are simply stuff in an already existing genre. I'd team up woth you but for a non-coom game but definitely appealing game, alas I'm not good at gamedev so I doubt you or most anyone here would team up with me :(
why don't we just have a github for our communal project
Is it just me or has youtube devlogging become a very prostitution-like acivity. It's like these people desperately share their personal lives with a bunch of strangers in a vague hope to keep them hooked and engaged. It's not even predatory because these fucks are doing it out of their own volition. It's preyatory as fuck
>>486674517I'll team up but only if I can code monkey and have input on art, sfx, music, etc.
>>486674651>preyatory as fuck*Laughing nose noises since its the wee hours of the morning in the US and my sleep schedule is screwed*I think its just them trying to lure the crowd in to build a connection rather than actual friendship.....like the friendship i have with some on aggy daggy
>>486674705not him but can we make a tower defense game?
>>486674890Never reply to my posts again you fucking faggot
the hard decision of cutting the dev cycle on my current game and jumping into a game with more /gmi/ chances is increasing! i have to make it, i just have to! but i cant just project hop.
>>486675031you're not me. He can reply as much as he wants
>>486674651post an example
>>486675058Nice try faggot.
>>486674609We have a communal project?
>>486674972In 2D or 3D?
>>486675270Taking over the world by getting all the bitches thanks to dev fame and thus ensuring the entire next generation will be nothing but our sons?

>>486675031But anon how else was I supposed to mention it made me laugh with my nose?>inb4 the problem is me befriending anons on aggy daggy
How do I make looping sound effects? I don't know what I am doing bros...
>>4866752813D of course! in Godot no less.
>>486675375I'm the guy who made the original post and I thought your post was cool beans. Always reply to my posts again you fucking legend
>>486675375The problem is being an insufferable cocksucking redditnigger
>>486664068>think about making successful big hit game>nodev for years>someone else makes successful big hit game first>cry
>>486675410Okay sure. What would you want to do when we team up? Just art and assets?
who's this newnigger replying to every single post in the previous thread?
>>486675401
>>486675541There's literally nothing wrong with replying to posts from previous threads
>>486675512I can do art and assets... but I want to do coding too.
>>486675632there's very much something wrong with being autistic enough to read through an entire archived general
>>486674705Yamero! I'm worse at art than I am at code. It's over!!!
>>486675674but I have to be up to date on the agdg newsreel so I can keep up with all the new drama and memeys!
>>486675751kill yourself
>>486675674There isn't, and furthermore the previous thread isn't even archived. It's not even on page 10.Back in the day we used to stay in AGDG threads at least until page 10 before making a new thread but now people make a new one as soon as the bump limit is met so they can choose the meme for the OP.
>>486675671All I personally can do is code monkey and create some okayish sound effects. I wouldn't mind having someone else help develop though.>>486675746If you are decent at art, that is good enough for me.
So who is this "Niggerdev"?
>>486675243If you are gonna photoshop the (you)'s behind it then at least make sure it's pixel perfect so people don't notice.You could've spend that time to work on your game,The state of this board man
>>486675987Board would be nicer without reddit spacing touhouniggers Go ahead and point out the off pixels btw
gizmos more like jizzhose
>>486674483>>486673470So apparently ScriptableObject need to have "SetDirty" called otherwise they aren't saved correctly by the database, unlike every other object.
>>486675850>decentI've barely touched 3D and my 2D is at best like pic related
>>486675576This will do...
>>486675887It's an anon who devs while dressed in full nazi regalia. Tales say he lives in Europe and is 100% white. He supposedly made ot off gamedev but has kept it a well guarded secret somehow aggy daggy is unaware of his success.>>486676201Kek
just ate a whole bag of chips for breakfast
>Animation pipeline revamp finally done>All assets re-baked with new system>Press run for first in-game test>Webm related*sigh*
>>486676598fuck off
>>486676632What the fuck
>>486675401>>486675576Nta but thanks this looks useful, should I touch sfx that i keep putting off.
>>486676565you're fun and good natured. I don't think you belong in this cesspit of grumpy old farts
>>486676632>slaps together a dozen free unity assets >shocked when it doesn't work
You can hear my fan in the background if you listen closely to my sound effects.
>>486676632Whys the hair not staying attached? Did you ever mention this games name btw?
>>486676286>2D is at best like one of the best selling games of all timepost your own work, faggot
>>486676923relax negroid
>>486676286>I've barely touched 3D and my 2D is at best like pic relatedLow poly or pixel characters will do then. Just make sure they look cute or cool.
>>486676923Just because they sold well doesnt mean everyone else with that style will sell well. That style is not difficult to achieve. Anyways I'm on my phone, I'm not running off to get a pic of it off the pc lel
ancient aggy project fallen leaf released this week on steam
>post your work >"heh, (fle funny 4chan meme word)"you'd think nodevs would at least fake a couple screenshots so they could convincingly pretend to have a game
>>486674651It's not that I like the activity you're describing but fuck off with trying to throw around sjw buzzwords like ''predatory''. It's fine to just dislike thkngs without engaging in mental gymnastics to make the people doing it look like Hitler.
>>486676957>>486677120>That style is not difficult to achieve.>i've never done pixel art myself, but i'm sure i can make terraria-quality sprites on my first trykys nodev dunning kruger niggers
>>486677180I don't have to fake screenshots because I already have the real deal
>>486677120You do not have a game
>>486677253>troon trying to police my speechjust don't be predatory you faggot
>>486677164actually looks goodshame its a 2d platformer though
>I have a game, you just can't see it because I left it on my other computer very convincing, nigger
>>486677164>12 years in development>pixelshit platformerwhy?
>>486677117Anything you might want me to draw so I can post it hours later? Just for fun. It's probably gonna look bad tho
ok lets group up and make our tower defense
>>486674651But does it work? I'm tired of nobody caring
>>486677253>word is sjw because... it just is OKretard mental midget are you gonna throw away the whole dictionary just because it contains words that faggots use? Problematic and toxic are also excellent words that are used to explain things. The only thing making them political is your underdeveloped brain.Here, I'll give you some example:>This nigger is really problematic at work.>My addiction to heroin cultivated a toxic mindset which is why my life is whacked.>Advertisement campaigns for unhealthy products are predatory towards mentally feeble people.
>>486677432she goes to another school
>>486677489I hate tower defense but good luck to your guys.
>>486677260yeah like games releasing 2024 with terraria graphics will be 1m reviews too. its so easyyy why dont you copy the graphics of terraria for an easy 1m reivews?
>>486677486I don't know your art style but draw a cute anime girl.
>>486677609NTA but saying shit like "toxic mindset" is inarguably retarded therapyspeak for twitter faggots you absolutely would not have seen that phrase anywhere but a shitty self-help book 20 years ago
>>486677489tower defense except you climb the tower
>>486677253>Descriptive word is a buzzword actually so you're not allowed to use itI hate zoomers so much it's not even comprehensible
>>486677489>>486677486How will we group up? Discord?
Anybody here had any experience with designing bullet hell stuffs?I am currently making a few types of spawns like a burst, a spread and so on as scriptableObjects and letting them be customized to an extent with simple variables, but it feels like it is awfully time consuming to create all of those
>>486677758but toxic mindsets and toxic habits and toxic environmens are real things and you plugging your ears and having a tantrum isn't gonna change that. The moment you identify something it no longer has any power over you/agdg/ is a toxic environment because it bends your brain pathways
>>486677724>cute anime girlI'm screwed kek. The artstyle is kinda Terraria/Starbound like but worse. I'm not even sure I can draw her in anime style while using that graphic style. I'll try giving it a try later.>>486677857Idk I haven't really thought of a game idea, idk about tower defense. Maybe a small game so it's something that could be achieved quickly? I still don't think I'm good enough at this to even team up with other anons.
>>486671862>>486670223notice that the system should only be used for nodes that might be removed before the sound can finish playingit is good practice to put sound directly on the nodes that make the sound otherwise
>>486677873you've been thoroughly brainrotten by modern "I must psychoanalyze absolutely everything" bullshit
>>486678250You've been thoroughly brainrotten by "I must emotionalize and moralize everything and I refuse to pragmatically adopt new tools to deal with understanding and dealing with the hellscape of modernity"
>>486677692listen here you retarded underaged nodev nigger. you're not getting what we're saying at all. you've never tried to make pixel art before, but it looks low res enough that your retarded monkey brain thinks "this MUST be easy to make". well it's not. try it yourself (you won't). you can't even come close to making terraria level graphics without a shitton of practice. practice that you've never put in. terraria's team didn't even make terraria's sprites without a dozen iterations and updates
>>486678386>emotionalize and moralize everythingthe natural state of human beings >pragmatically adopt new tools to deal with understanding and dealing with the hellscape of modernityshit to make soulless postmodern bugmen into more obedient slaves
>>486678386>>486678584>>486678538Relax.
>>486678167Make one of those cute plant people then. Believe in yourself anon.
>kissless>hugless>joblessObviously the only reasonable course of action is to go all-in on gamedev.
>>486679015Same...
>>486679015Same.
If I made some music for my game and put it in, should I be storing it as some loseless shit, even considering it's already pretty low quality?I don't know about musicfag shit
>dreamt about having my own PAX table with booth babes>they were cosplaying Rei and Asuka for some reason, this was apparently related to my game>everyone I met was super nice and exited about my game>didn't even get to see what the game looked like
>>486671861How many billions of animations you got on the screen to justify the bake animation craziness ?
>>486679450just use .ogg, no one is using lossless audio for games
>>486679481Lucky... I dreamt a young woman was trying to stab me with a screwdriver
>>486679714that's not the point, it'll be something like .ogg but outside of the game I'm gonna want to back up my shit and I don't know if I'm expected to store it in some funny way.
>>486674651Avoiding a miserable path towards innevatable death, &, receiving attention from the most contradictory creature of this earth – the humanmonkey.Here I am, having finished my week of labor, working out a bit, getting out of my disabled situation bit by bit against odds. Oh these girls they look at me, but would they come to my small and not clean enough condo?Oh they could.But me, could I truly engage them with a "heyyou're cute I want to have you for a night"?Oh yes I could.But here I am, avoiding the risks. I want the attention of someone sharing pleasure, I want the object to apply the sharing. But is that object safe? I don't know. Can I take the risk of appearing for what I am, and even more be punished for what I am, truly.Beyond the screen... there I am safe. Only pixels of words, LED colors and people so easy to be judged as worse than me. Here I am alone, focusing on my dreams until they become real, losing my mind in a blissful manner days after days.What is the point of knowing the code, when manipulating it just reveals the machinery of the humanmonkey? What inner good will come towards me without me having to create it?Something in me always wanted to be a god, but now that I'm becoming one, I realise this is still not it.What is the missing piece. Does it even exist? Or is that something not missing – but overly present.Here I am, living, wanting things, when I do not even remember asking to be born.So I search, I work, I try... All of that for these girls. But the truth is I fell for my own illusions: the ideas of girls.The binarity of Being and God, when I'm not even religious. One creating the other, in an endless loop. I can't wait for this to end, yet in the best moment I know I will miss it.Tell me, Creator of the beginning: Why do you give me things I need to give up?Creator. I will do my best, whatever the goal is. But I will ask this, again and again from you: can I be what I want when it's over?

>>486670979>>486672065>>486673654>>486674350last time he posted about this months ago(I have incredible memory) he said it's a meeting with the cripple gibs department to see if they can give him a game dev mentor, it's not like he's getting a gamepass deal.
>>486679935imagine how much work you could've done on your game instead of typing all this gay shit
>>486675365Grim.

>>486679867Save the DAW projects, of course, for if you ever want to go back and update it. Export a FLAC version if you think you'll ever sell a soundtrack, but less than 1% of users will care.
>>486679935HOLY FUCKING BASED
>>486680284the problem is then I should clean up the DAW projects so that it can always export exactly the music track, because a couple have gotten a bit messed up with experiments.

>>486680382>replying to your own post Bro...
>>486680484I think it's funny that they assume other people don't notice it/can't tell when they do it. I used to to do this back when I was new to 4chan too.
>>486678386Sometimes it's important to realise instead of getting new tools to adapt the world, it's best balancing the current state of affairs instead of creating yourself the shitty reasons that will require new tools.Also if you decide to deal with understanding and dealing the hellscape of modernity, that does not mean everybody should follow that.
>>486680468Now you know what kind of screws are loose on you.
hey fagsi’m doing a surreal non-linear side-scroller SHMUP with yume nikki level design (levels within levels)what is the likelihood zoom zooms will make it popular
>>4866812988 of those released on steam just this morning
>>486670274the success of that game doesn't come from randomly appearing in discover queues for people that have played Fallout 4 or Final Fantasy XVI
>>486681394yeah but do they have slippery mario 64 ice controls and schizo lore that contradicts itself attached to it
>>486680484And as he climbed the way, they tried to keep him there. "No! You cannot get what we did not!"And he still stopped to look at them, to watch them. And thus he asked "Creator, you gave me compassion and understanding, and you also gave me refusal and destruction. These humanmonkeys, like my life, I did not ask for them. And yet, like the pleasures this life can give me, these things are dragging all the positive in me."And then he tought of this: "I will appreciate turning my head an losing time, as one day surely I won't be able to do it anymore. The sacrifice I made today of looking at them, will be another step to what I can get. None of us asked, and yet, that was their decision. Mine will be to pursue, to forgive, and to build a place where such acts are not possible anymore. I am not asking, in the same way nobody asked to be here – I am doing until I'll be".
>>486677482reminds me of this guy who used to post here long ago, Kevin Trainwiz I think his name was, who spent 10 years and countless thousands of dollars on a side project to fund his dream game
>>486680484nigga you know there's more than one person in this thread right?
>>486680484This guy is really cool and based. Please listen to anon.

>>486675243Damn :/
>>486679481Even in his wildest dreams he has no game
>>486679935>>486681575the amount of seething vitriol these posts attract is sort of indicative of the larger agdg culture which acts hostile towards quality games while encouraging low-effort meme games
>>486680930:)
>>486682325Is that why Edengrall, Awoken, Kalemnovo and Cosmic Call are getting crabbed?
>>486682325It's indicative that agdg hates faggot redditors. both faggot redditor posts like above and faggot redditor games like platformers
>>486682568none of those games are good
>>486682689So why are Anons acting hostile towards them?
>>486676686>>486676879Random stuff not being updated correctly resulting in old & new animation pipeline colliding for funky results:ScriptableObject problems resulted in the master table reverting to old version and sending wrong animation & bone ID to new meshes ("Idle" for running, "Falling" for walking, "Melee Swipe" for idle, etc.)And accessories like haircurts/glasses/etc not using the new meshes and thus playing the "correct" animation but not the same one than new meshes.Fixed everything properly now.>Did you ever mention this games name btw?In my head it's "Warfare Club", since it's about high-school anime girls doing war things as after-school club activities.Not really put much thoughts into it yet, marketing is way down on the ToDo list for now.>>4866767501) Some of those aren't even free.2) It actually worked perfectly fine before I put my greasy fingers in the machinery.>>48667970750k characters is the current workload, with 2 to 5 animated mesh per characters (well, 0 for the furthest LOD).There are a bunch of CPU-side optimizations I have yet to do AND raw polycount is a limiting factor, so I have some hope to hit 100k in the final product.
>>486682568>awoken >quality games
>>486681857>>486682570And as he spoke, in a second, a work that initially required 1000 seconds was born.Was it the secret? When abandonning the idea of wanting, things would spawn by themselves. The next step would not be, but naturally just "be" to have these things be what was once desired.It was just another step towards a place accessible for all, yet accessible for none. Contradictory, just like the humanmonkey, the code was to be contradictory too. Treat magical things as magic and they'll be, treat something bad as bad and he'll be, don't treat something and he'll disappear.And then he understood this: "Oh Creator, if I knew (You), and you were there, they'd surely act the same with you. Despite all the blame I have for (You), I do not wish to act the same.If you are invisible, Creator, it's not only to protect (You)rself, but also protect (Me). As by not being there for me, these humanmonkeys won't turn on me."The more he was letting the desire of attention behind him, the more attention would come to him. So as he learned the humanmonkey code, he said."Oh nodevs and crabs, I am very interested in your opinions, I want them, I crave them. Answer to (Me), in all of your Glory. I will always be there to read you, and I will always be present. Your posts are of absolute importance, and I am so very so influenced by them."

Post your lore
>>486685620Sorry, but you will have to play my game to experience my lore.
>lore peak ngmi shit at most you should have writing, lore is for sequels
>>486685951My story is experienced through the loading screen hints.>Did you know the west desert crater was formed from the impact of a giant egg?

>>486686668And he went away, listening tho those who were not dragging him down. And he made this statement: "I shall disappear in this form, for my goal is to someday, in this world or another, offer to those who helped me, the same pleasure that I acquired in dignity.I'll be invisible for most of the time, because that's how I will be able to help you the same way (You) did".Since then, his name took many forms, and his actions became the source of many divergences and discord. But for those who saw the invisible, a trace of what's to come was secure in them. An eternal reminder of what can exist, and what is worth silence".
had the dream where the feature I added fixed everything again! unfortunately i woke up then realized thats a pipe dream thatll NEVER HAPPEN and therefore, im throwing in the towel

is there something fundamentally bad about using GameObject.Find in Unity ? Just asking to be sure
>>486688468>WAOOWEEWAH! THIS CODE IS SO LEWD, UWU EROTIC CODEBASE OOOHHHHOO!! PLEASE LET ME TURN YOUR 2D PLATFORMER INTO A MILLION DOLLAR CASH COW!!

IM G-GONNA COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!Yeah I can see it
Porn game, but for women
>>486688441keep seething brownoid
>>486688852Just write a test where you spawn N objects and then use GameObject.Find and see if it lags or not.
>>486688852bad in update. seems fine if you are just using it on one frame.
>>486688706I don't need a pro, I just need someone who's been doing 3d for the same time I've been doing gamedev(2y) and can do low-mid poly and create nice nude humans.>>486688943It's not a 2d platformer retard and most porn games are VN/shitty gameplay 2d.Now I'm not saying mine will have revolutionary gameplay but free movement in 3d, exploration of buildings or beaches, ability to sex anyone and context based actions for sex positions could be big.
>>486688952horse games already exist
>>486689126well I am forced to use it in a very rare case which the game will probably have to resort to only once in over 15 minutes but I don't see any other clean way to do it
You either nodev or dev long enough to come to hate your game
>>486689212>most porn games are VN/shitty gameplay 2dbecause that's what people want, retard. no one wants involved 3D gameplay in their porn game, and the people that do will just play modded skyrim.
>>486670274it would be cool if we compiled a full list of games that are terribly ugly but have amazing gameplay
>>486687572She’s like 25 and already bogged her lips

>>486688852Doesn't work for disabled objects and is pretty laggy to use it for every frame. Fine otherwise.Remember that /agdg/ consists of some of the MOST retarded posters here (see: cumball, cris, etc) and will always try to tell you not to use tools at all instead of trying to teach you when to use those tools
>>486689469people do that in koikatsu, record their own videos/pics and jerk to them.. I guess?I can deliver a fantasy which a user builds up in 3d then they can stop playing and jerk off to a sex scene playing itself

>>486682823did you test the gameplay? I mean it's hard to imagine the effect of 50k characters on the screen for a third-person game. My first guess is that this is completely useless for a game like that, or even hurts the gameplay. Are you doing that just because it seems cool at first glance or does it actually serve the gameplay?
>>486689984you think that was a joke ?
why does it take so long tho?

My house is filthy, is it worth hiring a weekly cleaning service?
i'm starting to feel like admitting i'm a degenerate who does nothing but browsing 4chan all day is better than spending another 10 years trying to change my life and still ending up in the same place. guilt-tripping just doesn't work. if i can't find better alternatives, maybe it's just how life is.maybe changing your life only works if you want something, "not wanting something" feels kinda like a suicide-like strat.
>>486679935nice take, mongoldev

One nice thing about a 6 figure remote tech job is that I work maybe 1-2 hours per day and spend the rest of my time working on game or shitposting on 4chan. It’s like collecting government benefits but 10x the salary for barely any extra work
>>486687572bonjeur
>>486692659i'd argue with you, but i made a decision this year to not argue with anybody using buzzwords.
Is it weird to put special thanks to a dev that inspired you even if they've never replied to your emails, steam reviews, or youtube comments?
>>4866925262 years give or take. The game's core is pretty much done and I'm planning to be done one year from now so it's all good
>>486691916Everything is porn if you are horny enough, although I'm more aiming for something like K-On or Girl Und Panzer, than Queen's Blade.Best you will get are pantyshots and cosplay-as-unit's-uniform (and yes, the one amphibious unit will get school swimsuits) - and maybe ripped clothing as damage indicator if I bother making a shader for it.I will leave the actual R34 to eventual fanarts.
>>486692865The absolute brain rot of thinking the word atheist and/or nihilist are buzzwords kek. 2nd grade reading level words filters out a lot of 4chan chudcels
>>486690781fog color has to match horizon color, almost black in this video
>>486692903Nah it’s fine just seems a little pathetic and cucked, also people will assume you have a real relationship and when it comes out that you’re just a creepy little freak it might be off putting to some
>>486687572oh shit, Feline Fortress, poor soul, she will be so disappointed on release day.ok annons here is my experience. as a noob developer you are not used to getting attention, and when you receive it you end up getting too excited and over estimating what the award really means, this is a shit thing that happened to me, after a few projects that didn't receive any attention, I ended up winning a fucking award and that was terrible for me. In these shitty awards shows you are not competing with the market, but with other shitty games that will also fail in the market. Because of this I dedicated 2 years to a shitty project, which after being launched gave me a miserable 3 thousand dollars, I feel deeply recent about this shit, I felt betrayed, awards don't fucking matter, ignore 100% of it, just trust the market, It's the only place where people will be 100% honest with feedback, people say the trust only when they spend money to play your thing, before that it's all worthless praise
>>486692903yes
>>486692932Wow you either stacked a lot or live in a very low COL area, either way nice job and good luck on the release
>>486692903yes boku you can mention mojito in your credits

>>486693142>fell for the award memeWhen I am nominated (and inevitably win) indie game of the year, I will hire 10-15 morbidly obese black women off of Craigslist to pretend to be my dev team. We will all walk onto the stage together, and I will take up at least 5 minutes of event time slowly and painstakingly introducing each member and their contribution >”and here we have LaShawnDreekwa, the lead internal database designer and backend programmer, without her this game wouldn’t be possible”
why majority white devs decide to ruin their careers with dei flops?
>>486693553Aw sweet I love games where I literally can’t see anything at all! That’s the best!
>>486693605why can't I hang out in a place like this and make games...
>>486693104>>486693147How is it creepy? The game is out of this time and the dev is clearly an auteur. It seems important to mention
>>486693605They’ve been brainwashed their entire lives to think they are guilty for being White. The ones that don’t feel guilt for being White generally don’t go into game development
>>486693376>tower defense with boring towers and only "innovation" being you can fight tooThis won't put a dent into Bloon 6's numbers, and will be several magnitudes less fun than Sanctum 2.

once i realized i'll never land a good dev job i lost all motivation to improve anymore. what the fuck is the point at being good at something if it doesn't benefit you in any way?
>>486693914As long as they look angry sassy and homeless my job will be done. I do expect at least one of them to try and fight me for the mic to promote themselves but if it eats up more event time and puts the organizers in a moral dilemma where they’re afraid to look racist by cutting the black women off, it’s still a win for me
>>486694190You little pussy
>>486693376What a great award, they sure know what people want to play! It's probably one of those "GIVING VOICES" to creators awards.
>>486694190Have you tried getting a remote 6 figure tech job that only requires 1-2 hours of work per day? It’s really easy I applied to like 3 places and got offers from each after a week or two of interviews
>>486694315Even funnier that it has a publisher meanwhile actual great games with potential that get posted here can’t get any type of recognition
>>486693679A day is 50 minutes. You won't spend more than, well you start midday, and the night is only, I guess half of both sides, well, if my math adds up, you shouldn't be spending more than 10 or 20 minutes in the dark. And there will be torches.

>>486695010He's a fairly new dev. He arrived after me for Christsakes
>>486694193Ah the classic 'don't call me out on my shitty behavior or else you'll be racist card' - such a good move. Good laughs here, but now I'm going to go make some progress on my pixel art platformer about depression, gender equality, and the oppression of the patriarchy

>>486687572it's basically female marnix.
>>486693376What the hell are steam followers and who "follows" games? (And how do you do it?) I've never interacted with that feature in my life and I have a 15 years old steam account.
I was lied to... there is no Marnix DD stream...
>>486698896You're following any game you have in your library (any game you buy or download the demo for).
>>486697916Imagine spending all day playing Broodwar, the most competitive videogame of all time where you twig out on 300+ APM, while you get harassed by a robotic voice droning on about about Bowser fucking Mario's ass while Peach gets beaten to death by Koopas, from the perspective of Luigi who is watching out of horror but can't help but to masturbate. And then it plays again, and again, and again.Your child is crying in the other room, but you need to hit 2k MMR.I actually live close to Artosis and its crazy to imagine someone living out here living such an absurd and tortured life.
>>486698340I'm gonna boxe their ex-s....!!
is taking half a year off after finishing my masters to make a game a stupid idea? I feel like I can never fully focus on gamedev when I have to study & work as well
working on animations, jumping + landing

>>486699154Rumor has it he's still trying to beat SKA
Is getting Frontpaged on Newgrounds considered an accomplishment, or that just the baseline experience of any regular devs making HTML5 games nowadays? Has anyone else been Frontpaged?
You are using one of the main three, right anon?
>>486699545I just love getting lectured and "taught" by people who have been making games for longer than me yet are much worse than me at it
>>486699324>half a year offThat's not long enough. Yes, if you're looking to make a commercial game, you will most likely have to dedicate your full time to it. There are next to none successful games made by someone while working another job. You should (or should have) spend your last semester getting your degrees grinding job interviews. That's the whole point of getting that degree. It's worthless otherwise.
>>486699545Yeah but not to make my game.
Solo indie game successes aren't real, it's just a ploy by the government to keep autists preoccupied and in a harmless state for years until they kill themselves from stress and/or failure. Notch? JBlow? All paid actors. Think about it, does it make sense for one person to spend years learning 4 or 5 different professions just to make some bing bing wahoo toy that will make him a millionaire? The whole concept is completely deranged, they have played us for fools.
>>486699484I'd say getting frontpaged on Newgrounds is actually a good indicator of not being shit anymore. When you start out you make shit games, but if you get that NG frontpage it means you made something that's not shit.
>>486699370The landing is smooth as fuck but the "jump up" part is goofy as hell.
>>486699484Oh to answer your question: I have been frontpaged and I wouldn't consider it hard. Though I have also uploaded a game once that I expected to be frontpaged but it didn't make it. You also need a bit of luck that there aren't many other good games at that moment.
>>486690781Looking good. Whats the gameplay loop gonna look like ?
>>486699168Now tell me how is solo gamedev for donations any different, you're doing the most difficult job on the planet for the most brain rotten audience that has ever lived.
>>486700526Fight monsters, collect loot, level up, fight bosses, read dialogue. Finish game. Also', it's going to be coop with proximity voice chat. Free on steam once I get the monsters's ai working. Basically an arpg. :D
>>486699754half a year full time might just be enough time to make a marketable demo and get enough traction to justify further development though
I'm noticing myself doing an increasing amount of gamedev inside my head without touching any actual gamedev. Entire games go by in my imagination.
>>486699370Nice game, I think I'm going to watch this project closely.Once you gain a following and do successful market research, I will use my superior resources to release a better version before you make it to the finish line. The remainder will be used to pay for shills to harass you 24/7 and invent drama so that you give up and leave the entire space to me. Nobody will even remember you or your effort.You don't have a problem with that, I hope?
>>486698896fucking hell new fag, are you serious? It's common knowledge that the number of followers can give a rough idea of wishlists. take the number of followers and multiply by 16. But also keep in mind that there are many bots on steam that follow games. so, I'd say that between 0 and 20 followers could very well be just bots. this suggests that the game is pretty awful and not appealing to the steam audience at all. It's likely to be a massive failure.
>>486699545pussy, ass, mouth? yeah
>>486698896I used to follow games that were not worth of entering my wishlist. But the category is so painful to access on Steam (profile->games->followed) that now I only follow games I'm really found of or play regularly, while all the others are wishlisted.Now my wishlist is more of "to try" list, with the top 20 being games I'd like to get (usualy top 10 is sufficient).Steam really should add the "Follow" thing to the library, so you can follow games in "getting there"' states, so that the wishlist could keep its intended role.
>>486699545who is this and does she have a nice voice?
>>486690781>>486692171you nibbas need to learn texture filtering

>>486701465>you nibbas need to learn texture filteringWdym? I'm using Point no fillter.>>486701687No. Photos.
>>486698896>>486701279It is common knowledge that the conversion rate from wishlists to purchases is around 20%. So, if a game have 1000 followers, it probably has around 16000 wishlists. This means it would sell around 3k copies in the first month (more or less 700 reviews) and around 3 to 4 times that number in the next 11 months. The second year would likely be around half the amount of the first year. everyone knows this.

>>486703425As a rule of thumb: NEVER seek equality with floats.They are not designated for it, and even formula that should mathematically give the same value might result in slightly different values.Always calculate a delta, and rule that delta as "same thing" if it's under a threshold.

>>486703249My /agdg/ game got pirated by /agdg/ people after years of crabbing
>>486703590>>486704280Don't worry I just fixed it by having it count the distance between the points rather than check the coordinates against each other. I have no idea what a delta is. Goodbye
>>486703249I bought Little Locked Rooms. Got filtered by nearly every puzzle but was an enjoyable experience.
>>486703249There's not a single /agdg/ game, past or present, that I would buy on Steam if I saw it organically.
>>486705161my game's release is going to change that then :)
>>486705257I hope so.
>>486705161What kind of games have you bought?
>>486702160i'll check it out too
this one turned out cool
>>486705161Same, but I refuse to buy games on Steam on principle
>>486706324This webm LOOKS like it SOUNDS good
>>486705575All the big, popular games that everyone's played. The closest thing to an /agdg/ game I have in my library is RoR2. The only "current" /agdg/ games that are maybe worth considering are Roody:2d and Edengrall, but they both still severely lack content and polish. I have Marmoreal and Shimapanzer wishlisted, but neither of those will ever release, so it's meaningless.
>>486706427Sounds like arse mate>”muh 8bit sound effects le heccin sovl kinooooo!”Your taste is shite
>>486706725none of my sounds are 8 bitthey are all ripped from freesound.org and edited
I have pirated every single /agdg/ game ever released
I woke up an did an invasion in elden ring just to get myself as angry and bitter as possible before working on my gameIt helps me remind myself what I'm working towards
>>486706725>>486706894Taste are relatives, your divination skills on the other hand or factually mediocre
how do I make it impossible to pirate my game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hW485x4_20&ab_channel=Micha%C5%82Gumny
>>486706918Insincere post.
>>486707148Run it on a server and receive played input through the network and stream the graphics and sound back to them so their machine never has access to the actual game code.
>>486707379Frick yes I love games with 300ms input delay !!
>>486699370cool and good, wgmi
>>486707148Kill any player that tries to exit it after he has conscience of its existence.
>>486707148Make the total file size big enough to crash a fitgirl repack.
>>486707052the bot broke
>>486707537Just use a distributed system that runs the game on servers close to the player.
>>486708121>>486707537>>486707379Wow it really must be that onlive and streaming games platforms will kill piracy afterall maybe it wasnt so bad
Agdg’s tastes are bizarre to me. None of the games it regularly praises appeal to me, while the games I find interesting are literally never mentioned in the threads.
>>486695559pooling isn't a thing in engines without horrible memory management
>>486708520Which games do you find interesting?
>>486707148itll cost you magnitudes more to try and prevent it than you'll lose from piracy
>>486703425floating points are basically impossible to ever be identical, what I'm surprised is that you somehow relied on such rickety logic for something else and it worked
Why do you guys always say making a game is so hard? I only started 4 months ago and my game already looks and plays way better than 99% of the school project trash in demo day.
Stuck between a wall of positive crabs and a wall of negative crabs. Can't fucking trust anyone in this fucking damned hell of a jobby.

>>486709032most people here basically never heard of rapid iteration and prototyping, they waste years on dead end projects that will never be fun
>>486709032but you haven't surpassed me yet so shut your fucking mouth
>>486708308Just use generative adversarial networks trained on your game's graphical frames running on the player GPU to predict the next frames based on the player input on the client during the delay before receiving the actual frame data from the server.

trying to find a godot library for hqx/xbrz pixel art upscaling but i'm coming up empty aside from shaders which won't work for this use case
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>486709778just set filtering to linear
>>486708617pooling is besides the point. what i'm drawing attention to is that queue, queue_2d and queue_3d may grow faster than consumed, and there's no limit imposed, so they may grow until the game runs out of memory.
>>486709201The transcended crab
>>486709880It's on bilinear. It looks ugly.

>>486709032I know this is a troll post, but I'm sure there are a lot of delusional overconfident newbies out there who think their terrible stuff is actually really good. I was too back when I was only 4 months in, but thankfully I was smart enough even back then to not try to brag about it. I think it took about a year before I realized that my stuff was actually pretty terrible.
>>486710847no i want it to be upscaled with an hq algorithm
>>486710195set to nearest in sprite3d, works on my machine
Great news: I've reached 80% on my game's development. I'll be done with coding the last of the mechanics within one week
>>486711064except i don't want it nearest neighbour. can't change decal filtering anyway without changing it for the entire game
>>486711030No one who uploads art will want it ruined by some crapshoot filter unless it's something funny like an AI drawing generator, work on actually important things MY MAN
>>486711030Oh. Why would you want to do that with a runtime filter? That's a huge waste of compute. Just draw them as regular non-pixel-art textures to begin with, or preprocess and save the upscaled textures.
>>486711352this is a very specific scenario>>486711365>or preprocess and save the upscaled textures.that's what i want to do
>>486710975It is what it is.
>>486711503Then it doesn't have to be Godot-specific tool. Any random one will work. e.g. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/pixel-art-upscaler/
There is never a need to brag. If your work is actually good, it will inspire others to show it off for you.

>>486656982>>486660991Tried the demo for this, for 24 minutes. It looks good, the music sounds like some royalty free synthwave stuff, and I just booted it up to check the credits and it is exactly that, WhiteBatAudio.It has a pretty good tutorial but I didn't find the combat particularly engaging, hard to say what its trying to be, awkwardly sandwiched between a metroidvania and a bullet-hell, with bosses mostly just being predictable patterns of slow moving energy balls that you have to step between or jump over while the object that you have to shoot is invulnerable in the background until it eventually lets you shoot at it for a bit. It's more like a bullet-limboIt has potential but I get the impression the dev is a big artfag because I didn't find the gameplay had any kind of hook and wasn't particularly gripping, but it also isn't very easy, especially if I'm trying to aim with a controller analog stick. The game says 'a controller is recommended' and then has you aiming with the right stick and it instantly becomes 5x easier if you just ignore that advice and use your mouse and keyboard.Seems like it might have succeeded if the gameplay was easier, like Ori and the Blind Forest, that game is just pure art and then combat consists of pressing X if you're in the same area of the screen as an enemy and you'll kill it even through walls. It's a game designed for journos, that should have been the aim of this game if it wanted to coast on art. And commission some actual music because that Karl Casy shit is everywhere.
>>486712057i've looked through the source code, it's thousands of lines long
>>486712257arksync more like shartstink
Would it be obnoxious to put a "this game is best played with a mouse and keyboard" screen in my game?
>>486712440It's still better than 95% of whats submitted to demoday, it'd be in the top row in demoday
>>486712385the link I just posted is like 50 lines and it's clearly explained
>>486694328What kind of credentials do you have to be able to get something like that? I thought tech was fucked.
>>486712798I'm having a real hard time reading that code, not only is it abbreviated but there are no comments and I suck at math
>>486712586my game is a bottom tier demo day game yet it will make 100 times the money arksync ever does. Explain that
>>486712946Anon is trolling you. Tech is fucked and they're clamping down hard on remote workers. Every remote worker on the team I work for was laid off last week, and I only escaped the purge due to being a temp contractor that's going to be gone in a few weeks anyways.
>>486712257So many people just delusional about their own game. Any negative feedback and it's "crabbing". Everything you're saying about his game right now, that dev has most certainly heard it over a dozen times, but chose not to listen, for it would damage his ego.
Is this texture better?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhVNu54_T8seven this guy who had years of experience in the industry fyi
lil niggas when are you gonna learn that all you have to do is make a unique game that people want to play and just like that you've completely cornered a market
>playtesting>notice obvious bug that there's no way I would have missed before>dont think if I somehow introduced it despite not touching the part of the game that's bugged or if it was always there
>>486712527https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/414282723788831681215% of steam sessions are played with a controller and it's only trending up specially with stuff like steam deck, unless your game has some seriously bad compromises to make there's no reason not to have solid controller support.
>>486713696So comfy remote jobs are dead? That was the only way I could tolerate work.
>>486713882>Kalemongo>unique
>controller supportDID THE SIMS HAVE CONTROLLER SUPPORT IN 2000? DID ROME TOTAL WAR HAVE CONTROLLER SUPPORT IN 2004? DID RIMWORLD HAVE CONTROLLER SUPPORT IN 2018?Kill yourself. NOW
>>486713882making a unique game that lasts at least 5+ hours is difficult, you can make a unique scene thats fun for an hour but then people will just watch their favorite youtuber play or refund your game before the 2 hour window
>>486714285boo hoo nigga grow up
Just realized that if I make something unique that no one else can provide, it doesn't matter how rough my art is.
>>486713808yes but it doesnt fit the ground you should use it for the mountains and blend it to a more groundy texture
>>486714472RimWorld does, yes. It plays great on Steam Deck.The Sims had console ports too but PC gamepads were naturally not as common back then.
>>486713820I like that he talks about his emotional reaction to the success. I feel like other gamedev success stories barely mention that.
>>486714285Not necessarily completely dead, just harder to get, especially for full time jobs. I'm personally gambling on temp contracts possibly escaping the clamp down due to it not being included in the employee metrics crap the executives all look at. It's a pain in the ass to have to find new work every 6-18 months but with how regular layoffs are getting, I doubt the full time employees actually have that much of a longer lifespan, and knowing for sure my time is limited by a scheduled ax forces me to constantly be ready to interview whereas a full time employee might get complacent and caught off guard by a surprise ax.
no mans sky is so silly... all that octree tech just to fast travel between minecraft worlds
>>486714917Rimworld did not have controller support on release stupid newfag zoomer. They only added it after the fact when the game was already getting traction
>>486715148And why did they add it?
>>486712946No credentials, I’m a college dropout>>486713696Yeah don’t listen to this guy, I’m not trolling and there are more remote tech jobs than ever. Obviously if you’re a zero experience entry level retard you’re not going to find anything good>>486714285Not dead, you’re getting IQ filtered by 4chan incels who live in their mom’s basement and shower once a month>>486714653Also an acceptable answer

What compels someone to get all pissy and elistist about gamepads in particular? Do you also get mad when someone asks for a Windows port?
>>486714285There's plenty of companies doing remote work. But it pretty much depends on the disposition and arbitrary whims of management.Some are happy to waste money paying for office space because "collaboration" or some bullshit. Others don't care as long as work is done. It's weird, over the years they introduce plenty of shit that's terrible for productivity, like email, but if employees actually like it like they do with WFH they're suspicious and see it as something to eliminate
>>486715262Steameme Wreck came out
>>486682823What engine? Godont would chug at trying to do pathfinding for a fraction of that many characters.
>>486714472Are you developing a game in 2000, 2004 or 2018?
>>486715352What kind of jobs are you getting offered? The only ones remote jobs I can find that I'm qualified for are cold calling sales jobs on indeed. The job that I managed to hold onto for 3-4 years isnt even on there anymore.
>>486715689the PC is the only game system that will never diein 30 years you won't be able to play anything from your broken ass library except on an emulator on a PCMe? I'm still gonna be playing Warcraft 3 I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>486715781Not gonna dox, tech is a broad field and if you’re a smart fella I’m sure you can figure it out. Also I’d rather kill myself than work anything even close to a sales job lol
>>486715431Probably ai generated both of them grinded it out while doing their day job, moral of the story is dont quit your day job right away.
>>486715618It's not your job to be a control scheme warrior and your gatekeeping is only keeping people away from your game, if that's your thing then fine but don't encourage others to self-sabotage.I think it's funny just how many indie games come out with nothing but the developer's own input of choice and only after release do they scramble to add more, as if they never cognized that people have a variety of input hardware. I like to think someone shouldn't need a publisher and QA team to figure this out but apparently a lot of people do.
>>486715082I'm building an oct tree on the GPU right now actually.
>>486715858Anon controllers can be plugged in to PCs
>>486716232what gatekeeping? No subhuman willing to submit himself to the humiliating act of using a cuntroller is someone who should be in your target audience in the first place. Maybe you should add mobile control support too while you're at it, brainrotten little zoom zoom
>>486715082Octrees are one of the oldest and simplest ways to optimize data, I implemented it once for my overly large JRPG prototype.
>>486715939What I'm noticing is that I'm meeting most of the requirements needed besides some type of software I've never used or heard of before.I'm guessing the best thing to do is to get the software cert for the one that shows up on the most job openings.
>>486716448If I bothered with a mobile port then yes I would obviously add touch controls as the vast majority of players wouldn't be using an external controller with a phone. It's not me who decides what people should use when I can just give them choices instead.

>>486717228Sorry anon, that's just gamedev but with no gimicks that you can use to cover your shitty game mechanics
>>486717226Idk, seems like a lot of work to add controller support for potentially very little gain. All of my UI widgets really on click events/left click right click etc, and I foresee a lot of annoyance mapping everything to controller input. I also don’t even have an Xbox controller to test on, so you’re saying I should be expected to buy one just to test? Seems weird

"oh no, your game has those generic weapons like swords and daggers, not gonna play it!"
If your game doesn't have a meaty shotgun that is actually effective at range then I won't play your game.

>>486692351I'm neither of those and my progress is ignored too, I think I'll just pretend to be comically incompetent and tasteless so people rage-reply to me, that's a winning strat.
>>486718425Norgorbnigga is a genius....
>>486694190Same happened to me with wagecuckery. Constant lies of "opportutnity" at the interviews and their websites but once you're working there it's gone. I've given up and simply look for a low end job while I keep trying gamedev in hopes I get rich off that. Gamedev is one of very few ways to achieve better for myself. Am I taking a big gamble? Not really, if I focus on just waging the outcome will likely be the same of me working jobs that will likely never move me up the ladder. Why waste time on that when gamedev gives me greater odds of achieving some form of success? Even a 500 review game shows me more promise for my future than some job where the employer shills "opportunity" that never seems to come unless you're there for years on end. No thanks, I'll take my chances with gamedev and calculated gambling on stocks and crypto
>>486717483Depends on the game. But even if its a UI heavy game then the same work that adds controller support might also add accessibility options, ensuring that game-hungry cripples can play. I think adding accessibility and localisation gives you a boost in the steam algorithm and ensures that the maximum number of people can play your game.
Progress:- Merged the 2 different main screens, so now it's only 1 Title Screen and a "Global Menu"- I have a Scene for my Collectibles, but it's not functional- Change how I manage my HUDs- Can't play the game anymore because I broke the "State Machine" code
>>486718846A giant corpo conglomerate is the wrong place to look for opportunity if you aren't chad + skilled. Work for the government + a unionized job and you'll rake in the dough while being a nobody.
>>486713820where's the dude seething about how nobody can make it in this market without a publisher or millions of dollars in marketing
>>486693376Wow thats almost as bad as the follower count of some devs here and yet she has a youtube and "markets" must feel terrible to throw in the extra effort of youtube and still be doing about on par as someone who does none of that >>486715352>just have a bunch of experience already...
>>486719284Getting deck-verified is a massive boost and they use manual reviews to judge things like text legibility and default controls, but these are things you should already consider anyway and if you think that's some unreasonable request then you just suck at gamedev lol.

>>486719718The other side of this is that most male gamers who buy a steam deck lose interest in lose interest before long and give it to their wife/gf who then play use it to play stardew valley. So it might give you an algo boost but I'm skeptical of how many players will actually play on the deck unless your game is popular with cumdumpsters. Though any algorithm boost is still probably worth it
Occasionally I get a flash of inspiration out of nowhere that solves a whole bunch of problems on my game. I can only assume those are gifts from god and pray to give thanks for that.

>>486721239Retard, actually
>>486722878It's godot and the idiot is probably using load() to get each scene off the disk at that instant instead of preload()
>>486722878There is nothing in those projectiles that justify the slightest lag spike on instantiation in any engine.Probably some godawful script he wrote.>>486723151Can't be Godot, object pooling is forbidden by their Pope.
>>486723290It's obviously godot since the performance graph is godot's and it's tagged as godot, it's not something that needs pooling either way.load() is slow because it's loading the files off the disk every time you use it, it's not related to object instantiation.
>>486673893xey should commit seppuku
>>486722878why arent the sprites just cached or something, surely this dude's pixel game isnt like 8gb of textures
>>484293597 It begins (again)
I honestly now want to dev usign SDL.
>>486669779who is this whore
>>486723550Relax.
>>486723871better than using an off the shelf game engine
>>486723871It's not a very good idea unless you can learn to spend more than a couple months on a project.
>>486723913That's called a 3d model
>>486724190>Making NES mario take months on SDL
>>486724453Making NES mario on SDL is a good idea to you?
>>486724453it has been like a decade and you still didn't make a single gamewhy am I even replying to cris
>>486724564Mario NES is still a better game than 99.9% modern games.
>>486724772Does that make making it on SDL is a good idea?
>>486724925people used to code game in a month in literal Atari 2600 ASM.
>>486725036Does this make doing that a good idea?
>>486725124Is going to the gym a good idea?
>>486725036people as in experienced and smart software engineers, not you the brown schizo
>>486725221What does that have to do with game development?
>>486725393going to the gym helps with gamedev.
>>486699545No. I am learning way more using libraries instead of using a pre-built engine. Forego convenience, attain more knowledge.
the pedophiles madodev (develops pedophilic Ero Dungeon), eric barone, froggygreen/frosch and horbror/horgrunt (develops Dreams of Joy Departed) should kill themselves
>>486725606How so?
>>486699545I'm using Vulkan.It's simpler to make your own engine.I look at that bloat GUI mess and I just see complexity.Just open code, set up Vulkan, and implement exactly what your game needs.
>>486722878>doesn't know about object pooling>a standard practice in gamedev in any engine Your nodev is showing.
>well-received indie game in a popular genre>with a publisher behind them>even got shilled by a semi-popular youtuber when it came out>5k reviewsyou'd think with all of that it would've blown up morewhat choice does the guy have who doesn't have access to the above
>>486726021helps with learning discipline, hard work and helps with your body.
I'm gonna make it for Demo DaY!
>>486726021Exercise is good for the brain. Increases blood flow, and dopamine, and helps you think more clearly.
>>486682568>kalemonvo>crabbedit's literally ONE schizo doing it.
>>486725606Going to the gym helps with every single aspect of a person’s life, but good luck convincing the average 4chan incel chud that. They’re literally porn addicted gooners living in mama’s basement
>>486726897Based Blowie!!!
>>486725606>>486726779It really doesn't. Running in the morning is much better. Going to the gym requires 2 hours for 3 days a week, and eating a LOT more for your gains which actively impacts productivity since your brain uses energy to digest the huge amount of food. I've made a lot more progress on my game since I switched to light cardio.I'm gonna resume going to the gym once I finish my game, because I like posting pics of my body when I'm in arguments with people on /fit/, but objectively speaking, going to the gym properly lowers productivity.
My next game will make 5 million dollaroos gross profit
>>486726274It's only a "standard" in unity due to its horrible memory management and if you ask about it in any other environment you'll just get weird looks and snickering, it has never been a thing elsewhere.
>>486727140>your body uses energy*
>>486727318No retard, object pooling is used everywhere. Even in C++ or Rust with manual memory management.
>>486724453it takes infinite time for cris to do anything
>>486726289>>486726659Does that make it a good idea?
This is how I am making a GPU Oct Tree and avoiding dynamic array resizing.I will make sure that I'm processing batches of 8 nodes in a level order traversal method so that I know exactly how many nodes I need for the next level.
ok implementing xbrz for scaling or any other algorithm for that matter in c# godot seems nigh impossible unless i translate an entire c++ project. i'm gonna have to accept bilinear shit
>>486727664Use your critical thinking for two seconds instead of asking everyone else for their opinions. If it's good for your brain, what do you think?
>>486726897Who cares? Maybe obsessing over these meaningless details is why the only game he ever made was a fucking awful 2d pixel shart platfagger that didn’t even break even. And he has the audacity to critique games that outsold him by several orders of magnitude? Kek, blind leading the blind as always
>>486727742If you have a C++ library, you could build it as a GDExtension.
The Witness is one of the greatest and most awe-inspiring puzzle games of all time
>>486727742This looks really clean. I wouldn't worry about it.
>>486727848Actually someone mentioned that going to the gym is hard and will require discipline therefore it’s a bad idea and I’d rather be a fat ugly slob with no self control or desire to improve myself
>>486727318>it has never been a thing elsewhereNigga, re-using memory spots to avoid having to find free memory somewhere and cut down on re-initialization cost has been a thing since fucking forever.Did you learn coding from a pajeet university or something?
>>486727950it's not a library, just c++ source files. i have no idea how to work with c++, only c#>>486728026it won't look the same as in animal crossing when you import your designs
>>486728075kek
>>486728018Yahoo "The Looker"
>>486727848Does being good for the brain mean something is a good idea irrespective of any other factors?
>>486727482Pooling in properly developed engines is used for things like particle effects, what unity shitters usually mean by pooling is better described and implemented as the flyweight pattern. It's ironic that unishit's faulty memory manager forces developers to make their own memory management to get around it.Also the guy in the video is retarded but it's a pattern that Godot itself spends no effort trying to correct and even misleads users in the manual.A common pattern you'll see is load("file").instantiate() to create new scenes, except this is loading the PackedScene every time you do it, you instead want to use @export var scene_to_load: PackedScene, which will keep the scene loaded to instantiate(), which is a far lesser performance bottleneck than the load() part. There's also preload() but that comes with its own host of issues and needlessly loads and keeps the file loaded the entire time which is often wasteful but not really a problem for pixelshit.
My porn game will surpass Aura and Mado combined, and I mean it, I'm going to make a porn game and not just goon this time.
>>486728480Also no engine gives you low enough level control over memory usage to ever make memory locality a thing you can account for even if you wanted to, especially unishit. Pooling is used in unishit because of its garbage collector sweeps that cause stutters which is not something that happens in other engines.
>>486726287Make a good gameJewtubers want content, if your game looks good they will play it. Publishers will approach you.
>>486728956It's not even hard to do depending on what you mean by surpass.
well, maybe one goon sesh wouldn't hurt to get some porn game ideas I suppose>>486729118>you mean by surpass.20K a month at least.
>>486728956Good luck
I'm going to get accused of being a gurofag for showing girls get killed in extremely brutal ways in my game.
>>486729287That's very easy
>>486729310Mado's game is better gameplay and content wise, but I'm surprised it's surpassed Aura, since it looks worse.
>>486729323and that's a good thing
>>486729323What is your game?
>>486729310>10k a monthholy fucking shit, in 5 months that's more than what Trainwiz made with Underspace so far.
>>486729651I think aura is more niche since it's about NTR and stuff and Ero Dungeons is browser playable but you need to download SKA
>>486689521That's not ugly at all, just dated (purposefully).
>>486730000I'm still unsure if I will add NTR, but browser playable isn't hard to add. Do you think that is really a large factor? I think mobile playable is a larger factor for porn games.
>working on game>steam notif>catfish profile friend request>add friend>send gore>unfriend and block>back to workIt's the little things in life that give me joy. Chances are it wasn't a real person, but if it was, hoo boy.
>>486730000Aura's porn is convoluted as fuck to get, it's more about corruption than NTR. Plain NTR games sell like hotcakes. (See Scars of Summer or the momNTR guy) Also just personal preference but I think the art is kinda ugly, has that western anime look.
>>486730532I don't know, but it's the reason I have played Ero Dungeons and not Start Knightess Aura, at least.
>>486729323no, people accuse you of being a fag cause you post pics of animeslop silly.
>>486730964>Also just personal preference but I think the art is kinda ugly, has that western anime look.But is it worse than Ero Dungeons?
Could any oldfags here tell me what agdg2 was like? Did it actually end up having any users or was it dead on arrival
You ARE switching to Linux after what happened today, right anons? Last thing you want is to lose months of work because of a gay Windows update.

Why do AGDG posters constantly post that they're making the kind of game I like but when I ask for them to tell me which game it is they're making so I can play they don't reply?
>>486732932>Why do AGDG posters constantly post that they're making the kind of game I like but when I ask for them to tell me which game it is they're making so I can play they don't reply?can you split that up into two sentences? I can't tell what you mean in the first half
>>486732853Learn design fundamentals study fashion and figure drawing
>>486732932The game only exists in their mind.
>>486732853There are books on the topic and people on Youtube who summarize those books for you.
>>486732932Posting a game in the threads is too dangerous. Just check demo day submissions.
>>486733218Can you summarize those summaries for me?
>>486732932Because they are nodevs fishing for (You)s. Same exact posters who whine about not getting feedback on demo day and then vanish when someone asks what their game is
>>486733060>can you split that up into two sentences? I can't tell what you mean in the first halfretard (actual)
>>486733465PICK UP A PENCIL AND DRAW UNTIL YOU DON'T SUCK
>>486731193Hard to compare. Ero Dungeons has small sprites while Aura has full body illustrations. They're about on the same level of appeal to me, so I guess Ero Dungeons has more money because it's not as niche and convoluted as Aura which relies more on the writing and scenarios? I dunno content wise neither appeals to me, I like monstergirls.
>>486733060This happens all the time:>AGDG posters say they're making a game of the kind I like>I ask them: "Tell me which game is yours so I can play it">they don't reply
sorry for not answering when you ask me a question, the simple and honest truth is this: i am a massive retarded sperg, sorry im so so sorry im sorry, do you forgive me yet?

>>486739037Why? Everybody will ignore it just like they ignored it in DD 57.
>>486736437how can you outsell a game that isnt even being sold
I thought "play test trades" would be a neat way to get more play testers, but as it turns out a lot of devs on agdg care so little about their own games that they still consider it a bad deal.
>>486739305YOU WILL MAKE IT BETTER AND THEY WILL FEEL HUMILATED AND SEETHE AT YOUR PERSEVERANCE AGAINST INSURMOUNTABLE ODDS
I don't need playtesters. If something in my game is difficult or obtuse, that's the player's fault for being too stupid to play it right.
>>486735528He said his first monthly payment was 53k
>>486735212So it really is trainwiz/trainwiz's wife doing these posts. Kek, lol even.
>>486739503I would take that deal if my game was further along in development but right now I have no need for it. Are you willing to trade about 1 or 2 months down the line?
>>486739656you have to be 18 to post here
>>486739883Sure. I'll ask around again in 1 month.

>>486740220>I'm confident that number is a lie nowIt's not crumble, trainwiz doesn't seem to lie about his numbers. even his kickstarter got exactly what he said he'd estimate it to get.
>>486740220A master volume slider is fine but I don't get games that let you change every single channel's volume, that's like letting you change the brightness of individual materials, it makes no artistic sense.
I wish to be done with my game alreadyJUST TO MAKE A NEW ONE. IM TIRED OF THIS GAME, BUT I MUST FINISH.
>>486740413He's said before his review ratio is something like 60-100 sales pre review and that it was really high.
test
if crumble really wants fans like trainwiz does why doesn't he just become a more likeable person?
>>486739806His review count didn't change that much ever since that post. Ero Dungeons objectively outsold it no matter how you spin it. Which is not a bad thing, Ero Dungeons outsold most AGDG games.
>>486741104I don't think either of them likeable for different reasons.
>>486730000Don't forget that Ero Dungeons has access to a large portion of the Darkest Dungeon audience.
>only system in the entire game which I programmed with a "wait" action type are the NPCs>don't want to add that feature to any other system because it would create more unnecessary systems that will need to be coded and tracked and saved and loaded>just use NPCs hidden under the level geometry to take care of all sequences that have any kind of delay between eventsyup, I'm the best dev here
>>486741170Looks like it went up about 30 reviews, so around 3k sales. So 3k sales a month, maybe more. At $20 and assuming cuts, that's over 10k a month.l
>>486741274trainwiz is likeable enough to get to hang out with todd and be in E3 videos. Crumble can't even get non-bots to like him without paying through the nose.
>>486741104insincere twitter postinsincere 4chan post referencing it
I'm not making much progress but my room is clean and tidy now
>>486740648Kek i think he was that poster saying 60-100 sales per review is average and 40 is bullshit and getting all angry about it even with multiple anons confirming it to be much lower like 30-32.
>>486741104>running on a 3DSHow? Even a base Unity game seems too bloated for that
>>486741716I don't consider E3 videos to be a metric of likeability. It's more his constant self-assured inability to take criticism well but my hate is not overt.Crumble was just a retarded annoying spammer.
>>486741513versatility in systems is very important for this reasonif your npc system can fulfill that purpose in a timely and performant manner, there is no reason to make something new
Somehow being slightly less unlikeable than the least likeable personality to ever plague this cesspool is an accomplishment.

>>4867424943000 is a number pulled out of your ass though? And it's not like steam sales are consistent every month the way Patreon payment is. I'm a game developer so I know when to call bullshit. Just check Gamalytics or other similar sites if you want a close figure of his income.
