>>486836171>yes? advertise on twitch, 4chan, reddit, discordsI could try that, except for 4chan because thats against the rules>?For instance anon provided some alternatives >>486833161>paypal>venmo>patreon>kickstarter>kofiBut which is the best? It probably wouldn't be a good idea to use all of them as I think that would only confuse possible donators so I need to decide the best one for me to use so I was asking for recommendations.So far kofi seems the best but I have to read the terms stillHas anyone here used it? Anon last thread said he got banned on it but didn't elaborate when I asked

Other than donations and sales what are some ways to make money with your games?Has anyone here tried having paid ads on their game? Is it effective?
powerful
It's kinda weird for me to make a visual novel esque game as someone who doesn't play visual novels, and often doesn't care for the story in games. It makes me hesitant to add more story, because to me more story = a lower gameplay/story ratio = worse game. But to the target audience more story = more content = better game.
>>4868379691000% truth tho
>>486837969blue guy is about to walk off his failcase and fucking break his neck
>>486837398retard
>>486837963make a game and use it as a platform to direct people to your OnlyDevs. oh i guess that still is donations.
>>486837221>>486837003
>>486837810>Good luck lil broThanks!
Naming spells is fucking hard, it all sounds like I'm copying from Final Fantasy fuck>>486837384>>486837535Damn this looks cool, good job
>>486838064
>>486838131I think that wouldn't be a good idea because OnlyFans is usually associated with selling real life pornography of the account owner. Though I have to admit I'm entirely sure if this is the only purpose of the platform because the actual name seems quite innocent to me, as a fan club sort of deal but it has that stigma associated to it nevertheless from what I can tell.
>>486837969I can't help to notice how neither of those two characters have any "SUCCESS" blocks
>>486838675In the time you’ve spent here asking retarded questions you could’ve sucked 10 dicks for $10 each and had enough to post your “totally incredible and profitable game” to steam. What’s stopping you?
Blorb is now is a trilogy. The ending of the previous game is what happens after blorb gets shot by his rival in the castle, and the cutscene is what he sees as he sinks into a coma as his body is dumped in the river. He washes up in a new magical land, where he has to find and sell mushrooms and potions to survive and find his way back home.Brewing mechanic is 90% done now, just need to make the potions actually show up in the inventory and make them sellable. I've had a great idea, there is going to be a little town you can walk around in with shops and the museum where you put your mushrooms.
>>486839065I don't want to do that. I want to make money from making my own video games.
>>48683905699% of nodevs quit right before they are gonna make it
>>486839351I can show you 100 demoday games that got abandoned LONG before they were "gonna make it".Also your post implies that 99% of people would have made it if they just finished, but looking at released AGDG games, 90% of them fail to get 3 digit review count.
>>486839657None of the people you're talking about are nodevs tho
>>486839657>actual autism
between earning 200$ off your game and getting 4 reviews and earning 20$ (donations?) but getting 25 reviews, which is better?
>>486838290>Naming spells is fucking hardyeah
>>486839985I'd prefer getting 200$ because I'd be able to afford the steam fee for not one, but two games.
>>486839960Autism website. Autism board. Autism thread. Statistics are not meant to be used in hyperboles stop doing that, it triggers me.
>>486840127I look like this.
>>486836893I think I'm burned out and I'm trying to get better but even after taking a few days to clear up my mind I'm still unable to produce results. It's like I forgot how to do things.
>>486840269The idea with choosing the second is that you might be able to get a 100 people discord / 200 fans total(some follow on twitter/ dev page on steam instead)
>>486804258Is this a downgrade or upgrade?
>blames self for worldSeriously tho, what is this supposed to mean? Isn't the saying 'blame yourself for your own problems'? How do you blame yourself for the world?
Is Unreal the safest engine to use? Obviously using Godot screams to the world "I'M A FAGGOT/TRANNY" and is out the question, but I don't want to use Unity either since it's run by greedy kikes.Are there any "perception" issues about using Unreal I need to be worried about?
put your heart and soul into your game
>>486841016You are critiquing an image created by an Indian
>>486841016If, for example, you go to a weekly community meet-up where everyone does volunteer work to help the community, you'll find yourself in the company of other people who are very kind-hearted and supportive.If, instead, you steal all day and treat others like shit, you'll also find yourself being treated like shit by others.If you find you're not in a good place right now, move to somewhere better. You might have to work hard to afford it but that's just life. It costs money to live where the good people are.
Fixed the state machine for game sequences which had in fact no involment in my gamebreaking bug.Ended up refactoring and clarifying stuff when the problem was just a string variable being initiated with the wrong name.Next, I'll go back to my Collectibles Screen. And I'm also going to post this to the Discord. Are they cool over there?
>>486840667I guess it would depend on the type of dev you are. If you want to make many different smallish games then 200$ is better but if you want to make 1 large game and keep improving it then the 25 reviews is better
>>486841016>I'm not good enough.>I need to do better.>I need to work harder.>I can fix her.
>>486837398>So now I sit alone in my bedroom on a basket weaving forum to try and find meaning through gavedev.One day I'll make it too and I'll use whatever remaining time I have to enlightenment myself. I'm an artist and I'm naturally inclined to seek out ways to express myself.Without the burden of recurring bills, or the threat of homelessness, or all the shitty stuff that comes with being poor, I bet I could come up with some dope art projects. None of you shitters will get it and it'll probably make negative bucks, but it won't matter because it will be art forged with the soul of a true artist.One day. For now, I'm stuck with making interactive entertainment software designed to amuse the laymen.
You have to be like an anime protagonist if you wanna be a hobbyist gamedev. Give it your all in this life.
>>486841183You can create an incredible game and everyone here will just call it asset slop, 3D slop, unrealslop, etc. They will grab out of spite and jealousy any time you post progress. They will nitpick small details never even considered for other lower quality gamesThe flip side is that you will get more sales than any of the unitroons or godotrannies though, because actual gamers don’t care about that stuff if the game is very fun
>>486840895I prefer the original in all aspects.
>jewish kikes complaining about money
>>486841183Godot is the only one of the those engines where you can plaster "I HATE FAGGOTS AND TRANNIES" all over your game without being banned from using the engine.
Managed to implement xbrz but it doesn't support alpha so I just replace pink. Looks kinda bad at the edges but it might be the best I can do

Gotta say, after my first month of unreal, i'm really not feeling how it's supposed to be any "harder" than unity
>>486836893pretty good bro, finally have time to work on my projects again. how about you?
>>486841470I crab every unreal engine game I see because I know I could never make anything that looks that good. All unreal devs should be banned from posting here it’s bullshit
>>486842009You're doing something really wrong because I feel nothing watching this.
>>486842472Congrats on passing the unreal IQ filter. Many here have not and will never pass it and are doomed to eternally crab every ue game that’s posted here
How do you keep a straight posture while devving?
>>486842656Works for me, derailed my dev into a fap session.
>>486842743Good chair

>>486842743big screens + recline
>>486842656>>486842009It's pretty good with the animations but the main problem is really a lack of expressiveness from the girl. Especially in today's day and age where soulless AI garbage is shipped out, expressiveness is pretty damn important.Still, in the context of a game that sort of animation can matter a lot more. It's different beating a girl and fucking them compared to just seeing a .webm.
>>486842656Could it be because she's lacking facial expressions at the moment?
>>486842703I don't understand what exactly is supposed to be more difficult.Yes, C++ is harder to use than C#, but unreal also has1. Blueprints2. A million systems built directly into the engine that you'd either have to make from scratch in unity or find some deprecated version of in the asset store from 2018

>>486842996IMO, Unreal is the easiest of the 3 engines to pick up if you have little to no programming experience going into it, but you'll eventually hit a wall when you need to make any custom gameplay systems. This is why so many UE games release as walking sims. The UE architecture has its own unique way that it forces uses to structure things. Unity is more flexible in how you can structure things (and Godot even more so, which is why experienced software engineers gravitate towards Godot).
>>486838290Hi!It appears you're new here! Let's put you up to speed as fast as possible.Namefagging is a no-go. It's a sureway to get yourself a dedicated haters. It's 4chan obviously and anonymity is very important!But! How can people recognize that you are you? It's very simple - by posting progress! It's a great way to avoid rampant faggotry while also supplying thread with important content. Without progress we're just shitposters, right?You want a collab? That's a great idea! We have plenty of dedicated devs that will surely help you, but you just have to prove to them you're not an ideafag. A working prototype is usually enough.What tool is the best? I'm happy to inform you that they're all trash/great and it doesn't matter which engine you want to use, they'll all prove to be a big pain in the ass/wonderful journey into programming.You want fast results? Unreal has you covered. It comes with an empty plane with a model that has basic movement prepared for you. It's so great you already feel accomplished by just turning it on!Not everybody wants to play with spaghetti code or C++, so for those I can recommed Unity. It's a great engine that is being used by a lot of people here, including Underspacedev or Bokubedev, that both are working on their games for more than 5 years already!But what if you don't want to fall into the trap of corporate greed and spending thousands of dollars on asset store? Well! We have Godot! There are plenty of people working with it and with whole 3 successful games on Steam I'm sure this year will finally be a year of G! You can even download other godot games and decompile them! Ripping assets and looking through other people's code was never so simple!Whichever way you go, I'm happy to welcome you into our agdg family! And remember: JUST LIKE MAKE GAME

>>486847708i say this whenever I change something minor in my game tho
Say you have node a.var b = aqueue_free(b)This will result in both a and b being deleted, right? How do I make it so only b is deleted, and have b be a copy of a instead of a reference to it?
>>486847760There's nothing that indicates being slightly higher is any better than being where he's at.
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
>>486848259thanks for keeping me grounded

>>486848259Thanks for reminding me how crazy it is that I'm a yesdev. Nodevs wouldn't understand.
>>486848402Thanks, that works. But also if anyone has an answer, why do programming languages work like this? When you type x = 5, you aren't making it so that 5 becomes x, you are just setting the value of x to equal 5, right? So why do objects work differently in most (all?) programming languages? Wouldn't having assignment work more consistently (from what I can tell) make more sense?
>>486840895Slight upgrade.Face now looks more cohesive with the rest of the body but colors are too saturated now. Tone down the saturation and increase the gamma to balance darks or learn 3-point lighting to better present your model (you need fill lighting to brighten up dark areas and a rim light to distinguish one part from another, see hair vs dress vs hands) You really need to fix her knee.

>>486849436rent-seeking is just parasitism. Pure and simple. Every landlord is a fat juicy tick sucking wealth away from society while providing absolutely nothing in return.
>>486849723I might "enjoy" it if they put any of that money back into the apartment.The dishwasher drain is backed up full of water that smells like rotting fish. I've been here for 2 weeks and I've already seen two mice in the kitchen and can hear them in the ceiling. Doing laundry costs money and there's only one washer and dryer, and the other tenants are constantly leaving their clothes in there for hours.>>486849974I've seen this sentiment before I moved out and I kinda get where these people are coming from now.
>99% done with project>about to hit release>see another 2d puzzle platformer>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO he stole my idea!>delete project
>>486850242Even doing basic repairs or fixing up (on their own property, remember) doesn't come near offsetting the leeching they're doing from you.At the end of 10 years of renting, what do you have? Zilch. You burned 10 years of rent. What do they have? Their mortgage paid off. Btw, some young people might not realize, but a monthly mortgage payment is almost always VASTLY cheaper than rent. I have a 4-bedroom house, attic, basement, 2 floors, etc and it's about 600/mo.
>>486850452Insincere post.
>>486842009I am interested.Also, does your modeler take commissions? Been looking for a handful of monstergirl models (not for porn tho) and it's absurdly fucking hard to find models that are "just right" like this.
>>486849974My first landlord was kinda based. Someone broke a window once on a saturday night and he had that window fixed the same night. Didn't take shit from the niggas putting socks on the fire alarms and hotboxing. Seems he specializes more in business properties but still has the house because it was his first property.Gave me an earful because I used the agency when I could've spent less by payng him directly.Hired cleaners to clean up the place so we didn't have to.Reasonable prices, sorta classy place for its cost.Second landlord I had was mostly just absent but then nothing really went wrong either, nothing to say. I guess it's parasitism but no moreso than the fact old people get paid more and college graduates struggle to find a job.
>>486850881>thanking the bull this hardwow

>>486850242>The dishwasher drain is backed up full of water that smells like rotting fish.You should be cleaning the filter in your dishwasher once a month at least. That goes for everyone. If you've never pulled that out and cleaned it, I'm sorry about what you're going to find.

This sounds dumb, but how do I draw a "subtle" spacetime rift? Specifically, the edges around the entrance to another dimension. I need to have one on screen for quite some time and I don't want it to steal the show from the enemies while it's on screen.

Ever since I dedicated my life and my game to Jesus Christ every obstacle has just melted away. Problems that initially make me think “this might ruin everything” are solved within an hour.

>>486856736NTA. I generally also appreciate landlords, but I'm also experienced enough to figure out who's a good landlord and who's a corporate jew. $600/mo 30-year mortgage is a ~$100k property and $100k 4/2s only exist as hundred year old builds or cardboard prefabs in rustbelt niggervilles, where no one wants to live. If you put that $600/mo into an index fund instead, you'd have a ~$700k account instead by the end of the 30 years, but your (((banker))) convinced you that your home was a better investment.

>>486859345The equity doesn't mean that much. $5-10k plot of land that you can't sell because the rust belt is never going to recover with a dilapidated building that no one wants to live in on top.

>>486856967Yes, I don't have much personal experience with that but it seems the way the world is going.Remember those horror stories where someone would literally just break into your house and then say "I'm a tenant, you can't evict me"?If someone simply refuses to pay rent you can't just wave a magic wand and make them disappear.I wouldn't want to be a landlord if I could afford property, so I can understand why some of the few people who get up there are moneygrubbing parasites. I wouldn't assume they're all like that.At the very least, the tax money is (probably) going to your own country instead of being dodged and shipped offshore, like you know Google and every other tech corporation is doing.>>486859197Turns out, coding is surprisingly easy for autists. Non-autists fear our power and get CS degrees to mimic even a fraction of that power, only to end up making awfully coded slop.If I can get my game working fine on old android devices with minimal effort and little prior IT experience then these people should do better.

>>486857165no, this muddies the point. the point of the original drawing is that the failures ELEVATE the guy on the right. he becomes more likely to succeed because he learns from his failures.in this edit he spontaneously produces a "success" step instead of another failure step. why? how have his failures helped him do this? thanks to his failures he is higher up but the act of spontaneously producing a "success" box instead of a failure box has nothing to do with his height. the metaphor falls completely flat. it seems just as likely that the guy on the left will suddenly pull a "success" box out of his ass. why couldn't he? he's clearly prolific at creating these boxes just like the guy on the right, and it took the guy on the right a bunch of attempts, too.GOING UP THE STAIRCASE MUST MEAN SOMETHING OR YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. There must be a reason for "successful people" to be the ones reaching height, using their failures, while "unsuccessful people" stay on the ground.plebbitors, I kneel. you were right about media literacy after all.

>>486866402Consumed by the Darkness of God.>>486868208They are literately made with a button click and a paid unity asset for item drop support. All it does it take items from an item drop which has to be made with Steam and then calls it even 3 hours as long as there is a click (which is a switch that is reset every check and turns on from a single click). The Banana game doesn't even have support for changing your Banana. It's extremely simple, but the legality on it with Steam is still mixed due to fears of developers manipulating it.

>been experimenting with different ways to implement period-correct currency in a game>decided that the easiest way would be to just abstract all money into a single integer value anyway>money is represented mechanically as an equivalent quantity of the smallest denomination (farthings, measuring one quarter of a penny each), and a function converts this for display with some quick math>done in this way, it would be trivial to include a setting that will just display it in its original simplified format insteadMy head tells me to include this as an accessibility option, but my heart tells me that anyone who can't do the elementary school-tier math required for a system people used from the 8th century to 1970s should just git gud.What are your thoughts, /agdg/?

Not just because of that, but also because you felt the need to come here and post about how strongly you identify with a washed up old man who bitches on Twitter all day, when you could be working on your game.If you're willing to take time out of your schedule to post such trivial tripe, you're not gonna make it.Be like me, and only browse while shitting.

>>486879358
>>486879945transcode some bitches
>>486875163what do you mean by 'ideas for games'? aren't ideas for games essentially just game loops? are you lumping story elements in with 'ideas for games'?if all you want is a solid game loop, just copy from other games. those loops are already proven and well-tested. being a real game designer is freaking hard, and coming up with a new, good game loop is a nightmare on both the creative and playtesting fronts. you can waste months testing something, only to realize it's just not going to work. so, you're probably better off copying a classic game loop and slapping it onto your game. 99.9% of games do that, and people love it, so why not?but if you're dead set on creating something new, i think the best way to do it is to clear your mind of other games entirely. try to forget about them. don't think about games when creating something new – it just doesn't work. to make something truly new, you need to think about a 'pillar' – what you want the player to feel – and start building from first principles.for example, you could say, 'i want my game to have the most complex and deep simulation of caves.' then, you start listing things that contribute to that. or, 'i want my game to be about betrayal.' then, think about situations where the player feels betrayed or has to betray others. it's much easier to come up with mechanics that way. the problem is, you need to test with players a lot, and that's really hard.

>>486881187crab logicpeople finish games and then want to play more games. new games are always in demand
>>486881187indie, AA, and AAA games are just rehashing the same old game loops from the past. Can you think of a mechanic that is new?. its been a long time since i've seen one
>>48688118780% of games released in 2010 have 0 daily active players, meaning people don't buy them anymore.People don't bother checking old games unless they're absolutely exceptional and get recommended by someone, but they will play a game released today even if it's identical to something from 10 years ago, simply because now it comes on their radar.
>>486881845wow, 20% still sell, that's amazing! much more than I thought would be
I added rotation to my tiles. Some tiles, such as doors, need to be facing the correct direction, so I added a direction editor feature to my editor.>leftDoor facing default direction (up)>rightDoor facing correct direction (right)

>>486874050That's the direction I'd been leaning towards.>>486879595I'm not a fan of it either, but it occurred to me that people only used to base 10 might struggle adjusting.On the other hand, after some more consideration, learning about the setting is meant to be a core part of the game; anyone unwilling (or unable) to apply even that much brainpower is going to struggle no matter how far I go to accommodate them, short of just adding a "press X to win" button.I'll add a tooltip explaining that £1 = 20s and 1s = 12d, and accept that anyone who gets filtered was a lost cause anyway.

>>486888302Don't do this. This might be interesting the first time you see it, but I guarantee it will become annoying and unfun.
>>486874267Yeah ive had that reaction thoughbeit, but I wasnt unemployed at the time
>>486867271Kekd. Everytime I saw your games title I couldnt help but think of Amazon
>>486888648thanks anon>>486888669eh they dont always dodge (if randf() <= 0.5) and can still be hit. it gives the player more reasons to carry other weapons like lasers or aoe weapons to counter this shit.. if it turns out too annoying in gameplay ill tweak it tho
>>486889343instead of MP40, which that gun looks like, considered tweaking it to look more like the sexy ww2 sten mk2???(Or just put the sten mk2 as an alt gun, its a fun gun because it looks unique and has a horizontal magazine)
>>48688470625 is young, but a 25 year old is just a bit too late to have a PS1I'm 28 but I came in just after the PS1 was going out of fashion along with the N64. Still played some games on those consoles but soon the game cube and PS2 would come in and dominate the conscious part of my childhood.also, in this day and age, not being able to move out of your parents house at 25 is hardly surprising. Everyone is expected to go to University and at that point you not only have no money, you're in serious debt. And what, you're expected to buy a house with $0 and a huge debt? Get a mortage with no credit history? yeah right. I'm lucky gamedev worked out for me but many more aren't going to be that lucky. cap is 30 for men and less for women before you become a feminist/maninist
>>486887315>just be attractive broI failed that check on birth. My grandfather was the ugliest, baldest, most goblin looking motherfucker you'd find, but he lived in a remote countryside village with more women than men, so he still managed to make kids, mostly daughters, who were beautiful enough. One of them moved to the city, met my father who was a handsome, tall guy and made kids together, the first one being me. Did I end up looking like my father? No. I'm the spitting image of my grandfather, down to the non-existent hairline, but I'm placed in a much worse environment for attracting partners.Moral of the story is, don't marry your girlfriend until you meet her parents, unless you want to end up with resentful bitter children like me. Did you know the genes for male pattern baldness (alopecia) are carried in the X chromosome only, meaning it's impossible for a man to pass this to his son, and it only goes from father to daughter, and then mother to son?
>>486889937Yeah I knew that. My grandfather only started losing his hair after 50
>>486887761Is your dream to make it big and escape from Chiraq? Whatever it takes?Honestly, turning Chicago into something decent would be better overall. But that's wishful thinking
>>486889937My grandpa from my mom's side was shaved bald, so idk what his hairline looks like, but I assume not great if he's shaving it. I'm 32 and still have all my hair though.
I miss trainwiz
>>486889937Oh, thanks for telling me that anon. It's my father's side that's balding. My uncle seems to be fine enough. I can finally stop worrying about if I'll go bald.

Which type(s) of magic does your game have anon?
>>4868907241, 2, and 6
>>486868208i'm still mad they got away with this. it's likely only third worlders playing it and likely using one of those programs that logs thousands of hours of gametime when you've really only played for like 24 hours. makes me want to make a similar game if they keep letting stuff like this succeed. may as well get rich like this. although i wouldn't tie the game with my regular games, probably.>>486837528but anon that cat doesn't have everything he wants, he likely got neutered and is /stockholm'd/ to live within the confines of his cage (owners home and surrounding area). he might be comfy and have it easy but he will never have true freedom.

>>486891429High concept game means a game that, if you were to explain the concept to someone, they are already sold. https://youtu.be/WezMZrk32M4?t=740>>486891836 This Youtube video is like a conference talk. I think those Steam reviews are on hold for this year.>>486892473https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WezMZrk32M4

>>486892671describing a game like that makes almost every game even an asset flip sound like a high concept game until you see the actual graphics/gameplay
How do I make control nodes ignore mousewheel completely in godot? There's nothing in the docs about this and google is only giving me retarded reddit posts.
>>486892915I don't think so. Games that can be described like>you try to survive during the zombie apocalypseor>you become a hero in a medieval fantasy worldor>you're a special forces soldier in a waror>you fly a space shiparen't high concept any more.
>>486890724>I'm an amateur modeller solo devving a 3D game, so lowpoly by necessity>depends on your definition of high concept>would get boring too quickly to be worth implementing, especially when I could be doing other dev work instead>I sure hope so (it'll be unique if nothing else)>depends on your definition of deep>my audience is literally just myself; if anyone else happens to enjoy it too then that's merely a happy accident
>>4868907241, 6, maybe 4 depending on how I execute the rest of the game
>>486891831Graphics are subjective. Just because you personally don't think some low budget graphics look incredibly beautiful doesn't mean the game's target audience thinks the same way.
>>486889937Women don't give a fuck about what guys look like in terms of facial features etc, they have a very colored view of reality. If you're outgoing, charismatic, know how to have fun and look big, which can mean tall, fat, bearmode whatever, they will fall for you. It's more about being fun and physically imposing looking. If you're not physically imposing looking then you need the pretty boy features to compensate for your lankyness.

>>486894860>using oof in le current yearLiteral Reddit tranny lmao, get back to work on your 2d pixel shart platfagger
>>486894891The point of high concept is that it's something that can be sold in a few words. If you need 50 words to sell it, then it's not high concept. It doesn't mean it's bad or that it won't be successful.
>>486894496are you counting RoR? because the only reason that sold well was it was released in the golden age of steam with co-op, the game is shitRoRR, which isn't pixelshit but much better pixelart, is an actually enjoyable game but not just because they upgraded the artgood luck finding a time machine to go back in time to compete with all the indie pixel art releases, you're competing with DAVE THE DIVER now, that's what indie pixel art is now
>>486895052>Every opinion is subjective but some opinions tend to be almost universal.An almost universal agreement isn't needed to have a successful game tho so who cares

Supposing 1k/mo, rentcucks have to come up with an additional 12,000 per year to keep up with chads that live at home. And all that money's just burned, wow... That has got to feel just awful compared to paying off a home and owning a valuable asset that will likely only appreciate. Like, usually when you pay for something, you get something in return... all rentcucks get is to "not be arrested for being homeless" or not dying from the elements. And when so much of any income you might have has to go to your landbull, there's almost no way to ever save up enough for a downpayment on an actual Home. Holy shit, that's bleak... I could not dev like that.
>>486895394>how many words can you use to describe a game?I can spend 20 minutes talking about my game and still feel like I haven’t adequately explained it
>>486895284Even if you ignore RoR if you check the list you will see a game that surpassed every single 3D AGDG game in review count and was released last year and also happens to be a 2D pixel gameAlso the guy I'm talking to didn't say "pixel shit" he said "pixel" so I'd include pixel art in that.
all /agdg/ games are shit because anyone with the capability of making a good game wouldn't post here
>>486895821>tfw I own my own houseThe never ending battle between incels that live with their parents and rent cucks that live with strangers is fascinating to watch. Not sure which existence is more miserable and soulless. Anyway gonna go for a stroll in the woods and pick some home grown produce

>>486895821I could find a place for half that.When you compare it to the cut that a site like Steam takes off your profits, it's nothing. The real cucking is what Steam is doing to you, but you don't seem to be complaining about them?Even though Steam does jack shit other than maintain their existing infastructure? Instead of giving you PHYSICAL SPACE to live in?The main value of renting is that you can easily move to anywhere you want, whenever you want, while you find a place to settle. No hot MILFs in your area? Move and find some. If you feel like being a shitlord you can also ensure your landlord loses money by not following your contract agreement, making a mess more than the value of your deposit and otherwise being a deranged monkey, but that's only if you wish for the downfall of civilization.Get back to devving.
>>486896146Except for me, because I get bored and like to shitpost anonymously in between working on my game and working for my 6 figure remote tech job that only requires 1-2 hours of work per day
>>486895394>how many words can you use to describe a game?You can describe it in however many words you want, but if you need more than a few then it's not a high concept game. High concept means it can be sold on its concept, the more succinct the better.Undertale is not a high concept game. Stardew Valley isn't one either. What makes them special are the details and the execution, not the concept.
>>486895956>Dad bods aren't a thingYou are absolutely wrong friendit's insane how much pussy I pull, dudes in their 20s and 30s can't even compete

>>486896874You are one of the following:fat, skinny-fat, scrawny, manlet, overcompensating "swole"
>>486895982Yes, RoRR is an example of a game that someone who has already made RoR and RoR2 and has the backing of a publisher who has bought him out.If you are in that position, you can proudly say you are 1. on the chart.Pixel games:>Deadbolt2016>VA-11 Hall-A2016>Risk of Rain2013>World of Horror (early access)2020>Dreaming Sarah (haven't heard of it but I'll list it)2015>Vagante (also haven't heard of it but it's there)2018>Lethal League2014>Fight Knight20212D games non-pixelart:>Bug Fables2019>Aviary Attorney20153D games:>Project Wingman2020>The Greatest Penguin Heist of All Time2021 (early access)>Tiny Combat2022 (early access)>Tracks2019Those are the top 15 games on the agdg list. There's not an intensely strong pattern there but you can see a bit of a pattern, right?
>>486897508Why can’t you freak incels just fuck off somewhere else and stop bringing your pathetic sad self-destructive depression into unrelated topics and threads about unrelated hobbies? I want to talk about game dev and post progress, not hear about how some loser doesn’t know how to talk to women and blames his failures on things outside of his own control rather than admitting it’s all his fault
>>486897548Sorry, missed one.Pixel games appendum:>Star of Providence2017
>>486897548But what proportion of aggy games that get made are 2D? If 90% of agdg games are 2D but 25% of best selling are 3D...?
>>486896532oh, sorry, I forgot you aren't actually earning enough to be concerned about Steam's 30% cut, so the landlord's $1000/mo cut is actually larger than Steam's 30% cut for you (which for any developer earning even a basic wage is more than $1000/mo).
>>486897548You can’t compare total number, that’s disingenuous. If you want an unbiased comparison you look at that games created vs games that are successful. If 100 2d pixel games get created on agdg for each 3d game then mathematically more 2d pixel games will succeed than 3d ones. You have to show rate of success to get an accurate picture
>>486898306You're rejected because you have no games. Make a game you fat fucking loser or shut up.
>>486898176>With steam: 30% cut of sales>Without steam: no sales at allWow it’s a tough one, I wonder which is worse

How similar do two games have to be for one to be considered a rip-off?I'm a newbie dev and I've been working on my first game since 2022. It's very similar in gameplay, tone, characters and story to The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, minus the incest. I feel like people will inevitably compare the two and accuse mine of being a rip-off and I don't want that at all.I figure that maybe changing up the gameplay a bit away from being near identical to the former would help but I also can't see anything I could change/add, I feel like it's perfect for what it is, a mix between being a VN and light Yume-Nikki style exploration. But of course I can't have it all. Any suggestions?
I hit a roadblock. It's over
Your game?How old was your mom when she had you?Are you ngmi?
>>486899428There's no way around it, you gotta scrap your clone and start anew.
>>486895603Stop treating /agdg/ like your father and start thinking for yourself. And why do you think you're low IQ?
>>486899573I've been thinking of that but it sucks, I've been working on it longer than Coffin came out. My fault for being so slow with it, but life has been busy this past year and a bit. I'm not sure what I'd re-purpose it as, I don't want it to be a bog-standard VN.
>>486899382If your actions are causing you to stay up later, why don't you just not do those things when getting close to your desired sleep time? If you must use a screen, use a color filter to reduce the blue, that's the main part that tricks your brain into preventing melatonin build up. There's the "flux" program for desktop, and I'm sure you can find an equivalent app for a phone.
>>486898501>with landlord: a home>without landlord: homelessWow it’s a tough one, I wonder which is worse
>>486899439I've felt like this before. What helped me was specifically asking God to give me a solution.Mark 11:23-24.
>>486900276remember to tip your landbull
>>486899428I think the most important part is the art style being different. If these games used different art styles then they would have been fine, but now they are blatant rip-offs.https://youtu.be/9OUmg-oa4Wo?t=16https://youtu.be/KEgUXjdwei8?t=29I barely know about The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, but I'm sure my game would also be compared to it from what I've seen. I would be surprised if anyone would call it a rip-off though.
>>486900276Yes? I agree it would be better to pay rent than be homeless, did you think this was some epic “gotcha”? Lmao
>>4868998021. You're being crabbed.2. No one who matters (paying customers) will cares if your game is similar to another. In fact, they like that.3. Just like make your game.

>>486900518My art is pretty similar to Nemlei's. Not identical, but still has that look where it's a bit more cartoony than most anime art. >>486900698Thanks.>>486901072True, I just feel like since the gameplay is identical and the themes and general aesthetic of the game is so similar it's going to be called a rip-off regardless. Plus, it's the same dynamic of bouncy sister and reserved brother. Should've been faster I suppose.

>>486904680So it is a bad idea to use lerp for movement?
in the last few months these threads have been just getting more and more Great!
>>486902481It's common practice to make the systems and a fully playable game with placeholder assets (pre-production), and then replace the assets with real assets later (production). Why don't you make an RPGMaker game if you hate coding so much?
How can Steam be so stupid? What are they taking the $100 + 30% of sales for again?
>>486905858Relax.
>>486904272I'm sorry, I didn't see that you were concedingI didn't reply to the other anon because he's just a baitposterI'd like to throw this out here while I'm wasting post space: How much money has Marnix made out of Forge Industry?How much money has Gaben made out of Forge Industry?I don't know the exact figures but as far as I understand it, Marnix hasn't gotten anything in his pocket from Forge Industry whilst Gaben must've earned about $5000~$7500 from it. Gaben definitely makes more money from Forge Industry than its own developer does.
>>486905778my issue is getting my brain ready to switch to the artfag mode.
>>486905471It's a bad idea to use lerp inside of a periodic function like _process/_physics_process unless you really know what you're doing. Use move_toward instead.
>>486905778How are you supposed to market your game during production if it's all placeholder assets?
>>486889343>>486889719If you need some goofy gun ideas it would be a good idea to look into the early self-loading and machinegun era like pic rel.
>>486905885Space games on Steam are so mistagged it's not even funny.
>>486906073Marketing material doesn't need to be gameplay footage. Make and market a vertical slice if you want to. (but, IMO this is a trap for some indies because then you'll be so caught up marketing and making your game look good that you'll never release a complete game)
>>486906049I see but my issue is that I am trying to let my character maintain their speed if they were for example traveling faster than the walking speed after getting launched by a speed pad if that makes sense.
>>486905858
Gonna stop working on gameplay and dedicate full time to marketing. It was foolish of me to try to make a game before having an audience to play it.

I just realized that I enjoy art and gamedev, but I need to separate both gamedev and art sections, because It takes me a while to get into the art mental mode, and making a fast switch to code, is burnout territory for the brain.

>>486909834Knowing C# is pointless.

Besides, if I want resumes, I can get 50 resumes of guys who do have a CS degree every day on my desk, why would I even bother wasting my time interviewing the one retard out of that stack who doesn't have a CS degree?
>>486910548mobileslop cash grabs can't be soulfulif you want to make a soulful mobile game it needs to be one time purchase and actually a good game designed with gameplay that suits touch screen like Lara Croft GO
>>486910323The reason I suggested making it more punishing is because in various games with a "took too long" punishment, it's actually a lot of fun.>ghost in spelunky>the army showing up in some zombie horde-controlling gameIt's a punishment, but if you're already doing well, it's not actually that bad and it just keeps the pace up, so putting the player in more danger with the teleport sounds fun.Then again, players might decide they don't need to go to the exit if they don't care about the punishment. I don't even know if being teleported straight near the boss is a punsihment, it just feels more organic like "the boss is attacking because you're romping around his dungeon"anyway I should stop rambling and go work on my own game, it's late so it's hard to concentrate

Anyone have experience making 3D platformers?
I'm thinking of adding self-harm to the game. Like actually have the player cut in their arm. I think it would be interesting to confront players with something like that, but maybe it will make people dislike my game and ruin my sales, but then on the other hand I should make the game I want to make, but I do like money, but Doki Doki did it and even succeeded because of its shenanigans, so maybe it's all fine.
>>486917469Yes.
>>486917469yeah I'm making one right now
>>486917371
>>486917590I should clarify that the player has to make the character they're playing cut themself. But linking an arduino to the players arm so that they can act it out in real life would be hardcore.
>>486917389what if I told you that information and positivity change nothing?you could know everything that's possible to learn about gamedev and be super confident and upbeat and you'd still most likely fail.what will make you or break you in this hobby is luck. luck of stumbling onto a concept that you can execute well enough to catch the attention of some streamer or the algorithm. this is not as blackpilling as it sounds though. luck can work both ways, and you increase your chances by trying more times. just make sure not to fuck up your life by dropping out of the work force or ruining your health.

>>486918953>>486918972I am trying to figure out how to nail down proper movement. I was naively using lerp() to get my character to move smoothly and this was working for a while but after adding more movement options like dashing, sliding, and "boost pads" this has been limiting. What my game currently does is takes my current velocity and lerps it towards a precalculated velocity whenever I am holding down a movement direction. The issue is that if I were to say, touch a boost pad and get flung to a high speed, touching any input direction would cause me to slow down. I was wondering is the best approaching to implementing player movement?
