Good thread
Huh, so it really is an endurance run
there's nothing wrong with making porn games
>>487126402Wonder how profitable those one man shovelware firms actually are.
I've started baking fresh bread for breakfast every morning. It's pretty nice.
>>487126487i never understood the point. why not just straight up watch porn instead of being cucked by a computer to do random tasks till you get rewarded with mediocre anime porn?
>>487126402the chart for twitter views/followers is probably the inverse of this
>give feedback to game>"I am such a good game designer">someone else gives feedback to game>"smart-ass thinks he's the know-it-all"Why am I like this?
>>487126738You'll grow out of it. Recognizing the behavior is the first step to bettering yourself.
>>487125919why do pajeets love spamming their trash games in random game jams on itch iolike, what's the point, nobody is clicking that shit anyway
>>487126487
Today is Monday.I drive back to the office.My soul dies slowly.
>>487126546Did you ever notice how it's always other people's games that are shovelware?
>>487127613runescape looking nigga
>>487126676Based. Having a lean body does absolutely nothing, it's a huge waste of willpower that can be better used elsewhere.
>>487127531What else you call someone who releases a new assetflip every other week?
>>487127613Kinda hard to tell what I'm looking at but maybe it'll look better in game. It's a guy wearing a cloak over a hat, right?
>>487126690gooner games straight up hit different desu
>>487127668A figment of your imagination
>>487127816kinda looks like walking toilet
>>487127897No, those guys actually exist, crab-kun. Afaik they have some complicated deal with keyseller site bundles or other similiar schemes based on how the Steam operates atm.
>>487125919Literally me....
>>487127648Are you implying I'm fat because I like baking bread
How would you handle different damage types?1. Each damage type has it's own function call2. There's a single damage function that requires the damage type as a parameter and handles it then internally2 feels "cleaner" but the damage function could get messy and complicated while 1 has every different type compartmentalized
>>487128381i would make all attacks an array of damage types and all defenses an array of defense types
>>487128381>Each damage type has it's own function call
>>487125919it's a hobby.you're supposed to have regular 9-5 and work on you game 3 hours a day everynight.
>>487126690The interactivity adds a greater level of storytelling and immersion that simply watching something can't compare to.
>>487128381Use 2. check damage type and call the appropriate damage function.
>>487128623No, thanks. I'd rather work on my game 9-11 and watch anime for 3 hours a day everynight.
>>487128841Holy based
Can any music guys here explain to me in layman's terms what "mastering" is? The guy working for me sent the first track which sounds decent already but he said it's still not yet done and needs mastering. I tried looking up what that is but the explanations were full of composition terminology and stuff that I didn't understand.In general, I assume mastering is gonna make a track "better", but how exactly?
>>487129436I don't know, sorry
>>487128659i guess some niggas just like to work for it
It's over getting started
>>487129436Basically it's doing final tweaks to levels and timings and shit to make the song sound as good as it possibly can. Like taking a sketch to a finished drawing.
>>487129436>Mastering is the final stage of audio production—the process of putting the finishing touches on a song by enhancing the overall sound, creating consistency across the album, and preparing it for distribution.What did you search to not get this clear of an answer?>how exactlyProbably filters and shit, I don't know I'm not a musician.
>>487129720>I don't know I'm not a musician.If you don't know shit why would you even say anything you dumb ape? God, can you just tell me your address straight up so I can cut your eyes out and feed you your own balls?
>start my game on linux>the performance is much worse>godot spews out constant errors saying vulkan device lostAnd that's it for the linux release
>>487129436Isn't that just balancing? So that the bass isn't too loud or that the soundeffects of the game itself aren't obfuscated by similiar sounding tunes of the backtrack.
Playing with PCG, I thought it might be nice to generate blocks that rotate away from the center but I didn't really get what I was expecting, which is buildings aligned with where the road might be
>>487129436Not a musician but I assume it's adjusting how loud certain elements of the music are and whether they're played on the left or right ear and stuff like that to highlight the good parts and make them clearer.
>>487129436He's scamming you. Cut all contact and report him to the appropriate channels.
>>487129978Proton will save it, r-right?
>>487129962Sure, yell at the guy who gave an answer that the idiot easily could have found himself.
Not having a linux release will form part of my game's marketing strategy
>>487129962chill out you unhinged negroid ape
>>487129436He's only an apprentice and has to take the track to the master to finish
>>487130475this
my game is completely broken.i will spend the rest of today trying to fix it
my game is completely fixed.i will spend the rest of today trying to break it
my game is completely non-existenti will spend the rest of today trying to make it
>>487130740>>487130862>>487130961all your game are belong to us
>>487130961This is me
>>487131085You are on the way to destruction
>>487126487>>487127827Here we see why making porn games is wrong. Your target audience consists of porn addicts, men who have an unhealthy relationship with their sexuality. Same as if you made a gatcha game your target audience would consist of gambling addicts. Your success depends on feeding an unhealthy addiction, wheras regular videogames can be just a normal form of entertainment.If you were good at either making games or drawing porn, you wouldn't need to combine them to get by.
>>487131249It's possible to enjoy something without being addicted to it.
A porn horror (porror) game about working as QA at a living sex doll factory, but the dolls are just lobotomized clones or whatever with their limbs amputated.Then one day one of the sex dolls is not properly lobotomized and she tries to bite your dick off! Ooo scary!
>>487131473>t. addict
>>487131630>projecting
>>487131501That doesn't sound very sexy to me
>>487131501no matter how good an idea is, the moment you say that it's porn or horror it immediately becomes slop
i could fix my game, but there's actually no reason to even bother
Gonna make an phorrorn game, lads.
>>487131473
>check calendar>notice i won't be able to participate in next dd since will be away from a computer all weekend>all motivation to dev flies out the window
>>487128381Definitely 2. Easier to scale if you add more types. Also easier to find where things are, or call them.
>>487132219>projecting
>>487132219Anyone who writes "masturbate" as "masterbate" should be castrated
>>487132418Am I still allowed to write it as "masterbait"?
Anyone who overreacts on the internet should be mildly reprimanded
>>487132220that sucks. get rid of those friends, family or gf as soon as possible.
If I see one more mispelling or unecesary exxaggeration on the internet I'm going to literally explode
>>487131249>Your target audience consists of porn addicts, men who have an unhealthy relationship with their sexuality.Should these people reproduce? Are we not doing humanity a favor? Personally I think of myself as the owner of Heart Attack Grill. He hates fat people, so he's running a fastfood restaurant with cheap prices. Also people over 350 lbs get to eat for free. On every wall, every table, there's warnings about how unhealthy the food is for people and that they might die (4 people died so far in his store), but people still come to eat.
>>487132504Yes because that's funny.
>>487132532Typical 4chan contrarian unpromptedly making unnecessarily reasonable posts when we're trying to start an argument.
Hey guys! Another day another dollar! Going to spend 1-2 hours of work on my 6 figure remote tech job and then about 8 hours working on my game! I love this work life balance, how is everyone else’s work life balance going?
>>487133395same but without being a faggot about it
i dont know how to code my feateure, i dont even know how i want it to work
is godot the best for 3d are the other engines jewish
>>487133562What feature? Rubber ducking might help you figure out.
if only you knew what I'm cooking right now, you would shit your pants in excitement
>>487133935Godot is literally the worst for 3D. It goes unreal > unity > godot
Any guides out there on recreating SM64 or at least how its physics/movement works in depth??
>>487132802>He hates fat people>4 people died so far in his storeI'm no lawyer but that sounds like a crime of some description
>>487026797>foreskin animationbased
>>487134195Just look at the source
>>487134046may i ask why? i’m just curious
>>487134046>unreal90% of indie project don't need the functionalities of unreal and beacuse they also don't have the time/capabilities to properly use it end up with the same "NINTEDO HIRE THIS MAN" UE look
>>487134838>admitting to getting IQ filteredAll good brotha
I hired Sweet Baby inc for consulting
i want to like godot but it's so janky and i hate the "everything is a node" workflow
>>487134342Nope. I mean they literally died of a heart attack, it's not like they were found with bullet shots. He is 100% transparent about the effects of the food he serves but people still choose to eat there, thus he is completely immune to lawsuits. He even claims that he's the only one in the industry honest about it, and that big name companies kill a lot more than he does, just outside their stores.
>>487135234How are you supposed to eat a burger that tall?
>>487135089>having no reading comprehension
>>487135315Very carefully.
I should have made a porn game. I'm so fucking stupid....
>>487135638It's too late to change your ways
At least we used to admit to porn as a vice. Now we have actual porn apologists??>>487132802>evil man thinks being openly evil absolves himIt doesn't>Are we not doing humanity a favor?Ok edgelord, let's see you follow suit and plaster your porn game with warnings about how the mental, physical, and societal damage your players are doing by playing your game. And be sure to frequently remind them that you intend to cull them from the population
>>487135782I know... I'm just gonna have to finish my game and deal with the consequences.
>>487135460She is cute...
oooohhhhh noooooooooooooooo
getting the movement right in 3d platformers is hard.
>>487135638Finish your game, Anon. Then add porn as optional minigames.
>>487134046You mean for realism. 3D =/= realism.
>>487136394I can't fit a footjob scene into my game, the lore just isn't there to support it.
>>487136360>the year is 2024>somewherre, a mentally retarded guy is still trying his hardest to make a shitty unplayable platfaggerA tale as old as time

>>487135983>we used to admit to porn as a vice#not my culture
>>487135983>Ok edgelord, let's see you follow suit and plaster your porn game with warningsYeah that's the plan. I'm not sure why your response is filled with so much anger and bitterness though. I don't see you boycotting cigar companies.
I start to feel that board games is where agdg should look for inspiration and not videogames.
>>487136653You>inspired by this thing or that thingMe>inspired by all the thingsWe are not the same.
i have statistically the worst game on steam
>>487137228Lucky.... My game isn't even on Steam....
>>487137228Where is this? I wanna post mine, I think it's even worse.
>>487137548lifetime play stats on the financials page
>>487131249Here we see why making games is wrong.Your target audience consists of social outcasters, men who have an unhealthy relationship with society. Same as if you made a gatcha game and your target audience would consist of gambling addicts. Your success depends on feeding an unhealthy addiction, whereas telling them to go outside and get a job is normal.>what if drawing porn is more ethical than making porn games??? huh have you ever considered that???
>>487137228I wish I had this...
>>487137228>>487137651But mine's been available for 9 months so... mine is the worst.
>>487134790I dont understand it
>>487135234>fries cooked in pure lardBased, probably healthier than canola oil
>>487131249Okay King of Nothing, go back to selling used cars
>>487107186Maybe that's why I struggle to get engaged with games these days. The knowledge that they're trying to extract more money from me turns me off. I'd rather play something that doesn't have that.
>>487138560I'd rather be king of nothing than a king of coom
when do you guys think adobe will pull the plug on mixamo?
>>487127648Being fat makes you lethargic. The fact that you think it's a waste means that you haven't been healthy in ages. When you're healthy you have energy in excess. You feel so much better that you don't truly appreciate it before you get there and see the contrast of how it used to be. Unfuck your life. It will help you dev better.
How do we feel about games that involve math? I've seen some games that give the player some numbers and they have to pick the operation that makes the statement correct. Is that a bad idea?
>>487139168look up puzzle games for inspiration.
>>487129436Mastering is the varnishing of music.CompositionIt's where you make the stuff. You go get your woods, your tools, and you cut, nail, you build the little boat.MixingYou have all of the matter and objects, now you need to fit them together. What's the point of having the cabin upside down? What's the point of having the motors in the front?You assemble and make the whole cohesive.MasteringThe boat is done, it floats, it is functionnal. But maybe a nice polish can be made so it floats faster? A coat of paint so it looks more MEAN?Those steps can interfere more or less between eachothers but are usually trying to to interfere too much. Each spots as its meaning and expectations.Ssome people do the 2 first steps while having the plugins setup already for mastering.Some people will do drastic change of arrangements while mastering.As of all creative processes, you are free to do what you want to reach your vision, but the terms are important when you want to communicate with other people, hence why in that regarde the terms must not derivate too much from their original definion.
He's right. Porn is evil. Simple as that.
>>487132220ngmi
>top 2 current agdg games are porn (SKA by Auradev and Ero Dungeons by Madodev)>suddenly crabs switch to a "porn is le bad" narrativeReally makes you think
>>487132802>Should these people reproduce? Are we not doing humanity a favor?no because you should be helping those people instead of causing them more harmonly a fraction of them are sexpests who need to be rid of, most are normal men who went down that road because of how sick our modern society is
>>487139524the top 2-3 games have been porn for at least a few years now, newnigger tourist
>>487139624Last years top game is Yomi Hustle newfriend
>>487139693you have no fucking idea what this game is gonna be do you?
>>487139715I was here for the entirety of last year and was involved in every single demo day. Yomi Hustle is not an /agdg/ game. He barely even posted. Keep trying to gaslight the general see where it gets you
>>487139767its a jumping kangaroo game where you can trade your toys for items with a wizard to halp you exape the dungeon
>>487139693Schizophrenia simulator
>>487139767Umm, it's clearly retro-mascot-platformer-horror-porn-adventure game with rouguelike-RPG elements.
>>487139693Nolgorb more like Whoreflop
>>487139693I really like your art but I have no idea what's going on here
>>487139854LMAO anyone can see it in the OP list of AGDG games which you'd know about if you took 10 minutes to lurk instead of spewing your newfaggotry everywhereI myself got a free key to it that got posted in the thread by the dev when he released the game
>>487139854>He barely even postedthat means he did post
>>487139050I've been fit most of my life, 30 pull-ups fit but now I can do 15. Maybe I had more "energy", but I spent literally hours every day thinking about food. It was harder to work and concentrate.
>>487132802>>487135234If you give somebody a poisoned apple, you murdered that person, if you put up a sign saying you are selling poisoned apples, then whoever bought one killed themselves. By declaring what you are doing it absolves you of responsibility for doing that thing. At least that's what satanists believe.
>>487136614You're right, I shouldn't be so bitter.What I don't understand is how you can articulate the issues your game may cause so well and then still invest the the time in making it. Is it about the money or is it an artistic expression that you just must put out there?
>patreon coomer VN is highly anticipated>>>/v/683387630
>>487140059>>487140069Disingenuous insincere posters. I don't remember how much I browsed /agdg/ over 3 years ago but I'm about 1000% sure that over 2022 and 2023 I was practically here every day of every week, no matter if I was at work, working on a game, or just watching movies. I never saw Yomihustle ONCE. Which means he was absolutely definitely barely here if he even did post. I don't even remember seeing any posts discussing the game until after it released. If I missed it then it's irrelevant
>>487140643>”hehe I tricked God!! The omnipotent creator of the universe was Le tricked!!! By me!!”Satanists are the cringiest faggots to ever exist
I don't even know what Yomi is or what it looks like
>>487140784Sure everyone believes that when you didn't even know about the AGDG steam games list.
>>487141065where is he, cause I sure don't see him
>>487141065There's an old list that doesn't get updated because the dev died, and a new list which maybe gets updated if you complain enough or use the form on the website itself
>>487135234based>>487140643>oh, you say this apple is poisoned and will kill me? wow sure I will totally eat it and increase your K/D ratio satan thank you :) there is nowhere else in the world that has poison for me to eat
>>487141219Keep going, keep showing us how new you are
>>487141065>>487141219the new list doesn't even have Cosmic Call on it which means it's unofficial!
>>48714143244 wishlists btw
>>487139856don't make me trade in Carmelita Fox
>>487141219one day my game will be on the top of this list.
>>487141320>ummm actually you're new because you are used to the old list and still use that one
I'm going to have to brainstorm a bit because it feels like whatever solution I got going is retarded complex for the problem.The problem is this, given a set of X,Y tile (the red tiles), find the perimeter tiles (the orange tiles).Currently my solution is to iterate through every red tile and then check every tile in the box from coord+(1,1) to coord-(1,1) if that tile is either:1. A red tile which we then ignore or2. Is not a tile we've seen before, in which case it's an orange tile and we save itBut it feels like that makes it needlessly complicated since for every tile I have to check effectively 8 other tiles, which can quickly get out of hand. Even dumber if a red tile is only surrounded by other red tiles.It feels like someone has already solved this problem but I can't put the correct words into google to spit out a better solution.
>>487126690>why not just straight up watch pornBecause what guys really want is the chase which is 1000x hotter than porn, good VN's try to simulate it with long drawn out interactions and slowly dripping you increasing levels of lewdness as if you were actually dating the character. The best ones get you emotionally invested, until the payoff anyways at which point the chase is over and they have to introduce new girls to start the cycle over again.
>>487141620carmelita fox is no longer represented in nolgorb's ordeal for copyrightual reasons
>>487136653I was inspired by the game dominion. sadly for me so was Meg Crit
>>487141508Where's your Game (0 wishlists btw)

>>487141660>damage controlKeep going newfag
>>487141740>Because what guys really want is the chase which is 1000x hotter than pornWhy not pursue real woman rather than a shallow simulation?
>>487142070>ummmm actually you're underage because you're still using Win7 instead of Win11 like me :)
>>487141708It will be much cleaner in a functional style. Something like:function neighbors(tile) => // return the 8 neighborsorange_tiles = red_tiles.map(tile => neighbors(tile)).flatten().unique()
Why the fuck are some of you autists that upset when someone doesn't know the thread lore by heart? >UUH, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE FART OF 2019!

any beginner resources for blender?
>>487142305the worst part is that the retards who obsess over this stuff are more often zoomers who arrived in 2022 trying to flex their "2 years on anime gamedev forum" status and not users from 2016-2020 who don't even care about this stuff anymore
>>487142305If you're new here just say you're new here, no need to get so worked up over it
>NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO you were supposed to be here for the exact thread and the exact minute when yomidev posted his spread prostate before the jannies deleted it otherwise you're not a true aggydagger!!!!!!!

what are the chance i get sued if i sell my game and the code is from paid course or youtube?
Been away for a while except the last few threads. Just wanna say I love you guys and I think the anon predicting some /agdg/ big hitters this year is right
>>487142792>the list is in every op since several months ago but it was impossible for me to see it I swear!!!!
>>487140307I might have falsely assumed you to be a fatty. Do realize that most people here will be fatties and you making comments like before they will hear as endorsement for their awful lifestyle.You don't have to be roided out fit with 1% bodyfat but you shouldn't be fat either.
>>487142819Even if it runs every frame it shouldn't be an issue unless you have thousands of red tiles
>>487142994I haven't looked at the OP in years. Do you know why? I can just type steam in the browser bar and it's the top result, stupid zoomer newfaggot
What do you guys think of my cool new game?
IvySly did his success interview shortly after I discovered this general. It gave me the impression that this was a really cool thread with cool successful devs. Sadly, that turned out to not be the case.
>>487143210compsci has ruined my mind to believe that if it isn't O(n) it's TRASH
>>487143458if only you knew that he's not a resident dev at all
>>487142709Just because someone doesn't commit every piece of gossip to memory doesn't mean they're neccessarily new.
>>487143265>doesn't even know the OP of the thread let alone which devs post in itNewfag tourist
>>487132802following that logic, where predators like yourself are free to predate on the vulnerable and profit from their vulnerability, predators like you should be enslaved and profited from as well. Put you in a slave collar, castrate you, lobotomize you, work you hard until you're dead. After all, you failed to resist the lure to make a profit from deeply manipulative porn games. If you didn't earn any profit from this, maybe your claimed motives could have been taken more seriously. But you clearly do earn a profit. It's especially bad, for other people that like to predate on the vulnerable, include pedophiles. How do we know that you only predate on vulnerable adults, when you're unable to resist the lure of profit from predating on the vulnerable? When you're driven by profit, and couldn't resist the lure to make a profit from predating on the vulnerable, what else are you unable to resist the lure of? Should society ever want predators like you that are unable to resist the lure of profiting from the vulnerable?and if society doesn't protect people from predators like you, what social contract is there?of course, you might be indoctrinating these people as well, for your own purposes, shaping and teaching them, and your claimed motives thus would be half-truths at bestwhat are your thoughts on Ero Dungeons?if you fail to answer, I must assume that you are willing to predate on others than adults
>>487142872I remember an anon ranting on about the crazy taxi arrow
>>487143831Deranged hambeast you have literally no retort. I don't think you even understand just how much I would have needed to visit that page to have it show up at the top of the results considering that I'm a game developer and it means I go through the same steam game pages hundreds of times and my browser history is completely flooded with other links which contain the word "steam"lmaoing @ (You)

I'LL RELOAD YOUR SCRIPT ASSEMBLIES, BITCH!
>>487144264Everyone believes you're the authority on which games are AGDG and which aren't and the fact you admit you don't even read the OP of the thread proves this. Why don't you believe it when I say this? Retard newfag LMAO
>wake up>open agdg>nodevs are arguing about thread lore>close agdgYup. Today shall be a productive day.
>>487144745How do you make posts with AGDG closed???
>>487132802>>487143861and another issue is that if you earn a profit from predating on the vulnerable, you have an economic interest in creating more vulnerable people thus that more people pay you, and lowering the proportion of people in society that aren't vulnerable. This profit motive creates some extremely problematic incentives, which could possibly be highly damaging for society
>>487144593why is it that I constantly run into all the devs which are widely known and accepted to be "agdg devs" but I have never once encountered this "Yomi hustle" character that you insist exists? You sit around here enough you encounter all the devs eventually, but you seem to be insisting that there's this mythical developer that hung around here for a week and didn't even post that much and that makes him an official /agdg/ made man? Get the fuck outta here
>>487142180>Why not pursue real woman>play a passive game on my phoneor>go through endless humiliation rituals>become a jester for some one else's amusement>fork over my hard earned but worthless money to try and impress them>give up control of my life to some one else's whims>deal with a narcissistic personality 24/7 and try to meet their increasing list of demands>get fucked in the end anyways when they get boredAnd that's if you're outgoing and skilled in interacting with them. Women are the only things that go up in price as their market value goes down.

Get a life
Slopcrabs will insist every top AGDG game isn't AGDG because they know getting them removed is the only way they will ever get a chance on the ranking.
How much freedom does Ren'Py give you? Can you add minigames? Could you customize the visual novel so that you can click stuff in the background while the visual novel part is happening?
>>487143497This is why compsci grads can’t get jobs meanwhile self taught dropouts are getting 6 figure remote tech jobs constantly lmao
>>487145732>I've personally not seen this dev so that means he's not AGDG, not that I'm a newfag tourist that doesn't even read the OP even if the rest of the thread knows him and he even posted keys to his game hereLMAO
>>487145732even fucking peripeteia which shows up maybe once every two months is more prominent and noticeable. You can't just claim that someone who was here for a week is a local developer
>>487145850isn't it open source? it's python, as long as you don't care about performance you can do whatever i wantthere was some guy making a pokemon clone in renpybut ask yourself: do you WANT to?
>>487145850If you add any of that stuff, it would need to be done in python, which means you'd only be able to run it on PC platforms that ship with a python interpreter, or you'd have to make your own custom ren'py build for all the other platforms you want.
>Blobber Progress Week 5:I am pretty excited, thought it would take me six months to get to this point but it has only taken me five weeks. +Need to use a utility art now to be able to climb on to ceiling and levitate up pitfalls.+Can collect abilities from treasure chests.+Added more to the ability system such as mana cost, cooldowns, and cast times.+Started work on the battle system at this point, it is 65% completed. Can damage enemies with attacks and use items.Still need to work on EoTs (effects over time) and allow the enemy to perform their own attacks. I will also have to add in a player death state. I am very close to having all of the major game systems getting done, may be a few more weeks at my current pace. Can't wait to finally be in alpha and be able to fully focus on art.

>>487145691>you should play elden ring>you keep dying?>git gud>still keep playing though stupid goymNo I don't think I will. It'll cost me a couple of million dollars less and I'll retire at 40 instead.
>>487145972>>487145972Seethe crabs. You will not get true AGDG games removed from their rightful place in the rankings by posting slander. You can't UNPOST their games in the thread. You cannot change history.
>>487146085>but ask yourself: do you WANT to?Yeah, that's why I'm asking. Chatgpt won't give me honest answers because it wants to say anything is possible even if it's not realistic.
>noooooo vallhalla isn't an agdg game because you have to spend a decade posting daily minimal progress and submit the same demo over and over again to 50 demo days or else you're not an agdg dev>you can't just like make game in two months and release a successful game

I have some text files that I use for dialogue.Within them, after certain lines, I want to be able to write something like:>await_property PlayerCharacter velocity.length() >= 4such that the scene will then listen for when that condition is met before advancing to the next dialogue line.Is it stupid to do it this way? I can't help but feel like there's a better way.I guess I'm just dreading having to write a bunch of regex to parse out how the scene should process that line.
>>487146375would have been enough to submit to 1 demo day
>>487146375I can’t wait to make it and have anons here argue about whether I was really an agdg dev when all I did was post like 4 webms of my game that only got a few (you)’s each
I wound up buying a Trenchbroom importer from the asset store because Scopa's a pain in the ass to work with (although I think it would be excellent if I wasn't a brainlet) and Qunity isn't quite usable just yet ime. Took me a few hours to troubleshoot some issues but it seems to be working perfectly now. Hopefully this'll be the last time I have to switch importers, because the whole process is starting to give me some serious mental trauma. Hopefully next demon day I'll have 3 or 4 levels to share instead of one (1.)Thanks for reading my plog (my progress blog.)
>>487146403As I said before, it is a porn game so I thought, why not?
>>487146554Less than a half of the top 20 agdg games have submitted to any demo days.
>>487146375This is what's really happening here. When a dev makes a game too fast and successfully it's not recognized as AGDG simply because the dev didn't spend years posting it, meanwhile devs who take years and don't even release a game are widely known as AGDG.
>>487146675time to remove them then
>>487146351it is possible and realistic, but it's not what the engine was designed forit's a suboptimal experience
>>487146620I seeI can save the "this would be a good game if you have a special gimmick" because coom is that gimmick and you're gmi
The reality is that none of your games are true /agdg/ since the real /agdg/ is on zzzchan.Besides nortubel who is a menace you see everywhere.
>>487146307>horde your money, retire early and die childless like a good goyOk
>>487140784>>487139854This guy is right, he posted Rocket Sword but never Yomi Hustle in the threads, I assume because of his new twitter/tumblr friends. You can claim ivy is an agdg dev, but Yomi Hustle is not really an AGDG game, else by that logic Risk of Rain 2 is also one.

I just realized a board version of Kaliina, inspired by Chess, Xianqui and tetris would be too KINO for agdg to understand.
>>487147121>like a good goyLol no, good goys keep working. They don't need your money, it's fake paper that they pull out of thin air. They need you to keep working, they need you to believe in the system, they need you to think you still have a chance. Keep chasing that tail thinking some day your life will not be fucked. I'm 35 already, it's over for me and I don't have the patience for bullshit anymore. Going to retire early and get the fuck out of this place if I can manage it, this society is sick and old and will collapse under it's own weight.
>>487147279>He literally even posted free keys yomi hereWhat the hell does that have to do with anything? Show me his progress webms posted in the thread. There is only one rule to be an AGDG game and that is to post it during development here, not after it was finished.
>>487146597Same. I rarely post my game here, and even when I do, I try to make it not identifiable as the same game I posted last time. IDGAF if nodevs think my game is /agdg/ or not.
>>487147859>this society is sick and old and will collapse under it's own weight.Oh if you're talking about the US then sure it's fucked. I have hope it will turn around but by all means go somewhere the society is not sick and make the best life for yourself there. If you're leaving the US you have no excuse not to find a good wife
are there any other gated gamedev communities like this one where I can just walzt in last second with a finished game and pretend was always a member? Sadly I'm already known here so I can't pull it off in agdg
>>487140701> Is it about the money or is it an artistic expression that you just must put out there?It's half about artistic expression and half about sending a message. And what is the best place to put a message targeted at coomers if not in a porn game? No one likes being preached to though, so if you really want them to listen, you need to either be radical about it or subtle enough so it's not annoying and in your face.>>487143861It seems to me like you believe everyone is vulnerable and "taken advantage of" and no one is responsible for their own actions. I can't argue with you from this position. The only way to stop being vulnerable is to get hurt. Not so bad that you'd get crippled, but not so lightly that you don't flinch from pain. >and if society doesn't protect people from predators like you, what social contract is there?Now you're asking the right questions. Society has plenty of other more dangerous predators, like billionaires paying 0 taxes through loopholes and exploits, Disney and large companies changing laws as they see fit with their money, seed oil industry, Nestle draining fresh water and whatnot. I'm glad porn games are making you aware of the state of society.
>>487148782>gated gamedev communities>agdg>filled with mostly nodevs
>>487148051>t. newfag that doesn't know the AGDG tradition of posting free keys on release
>>487148616>Oh if you're talking about the USWorse, canada. Our male population increased by 10% in 3 years thanks to the government filling the country with indians. The average price of a house in one of our cities (the only place you can find work) is about 1.4 million dollars, it takes two people making over $200k each to afford to buy a house, a literal fortune on top if you want kids. Then you have the massively fragmented demographics which make it impossible to relate to most people you meet, you'll be lucky if you even speak the same language.Find a woman he says.
>>487149582I've been here since Hopoo was posting his necromancer game. Posting keys has nothing to do with whether your game is AGDG or not, why are you repeatedly missing the point? Be honest with me how old are you?It's not a tradition anyway since a lot of people didn't do it, like for example Underspace. And I don't remember Project Wingman, Fight Knight and Bug Fables doing it either, but maybe I missed them. Devs do it if they want to, and not if they don't, it has no bearing on AGDG status.
keke who the fuck is this newfag calling everyone a newfag
Does the pain state look annoying?When you get hit you enter a pain animation that disables movement/aiming until it ends.I want it for some enemies but i'm debating if it should be the default state when you get hit.But the alternative is that the character doesn't react at all outside of a grunt sound.

>>487152123>That's what you want isn't it?What I want doesn't exist, that's what I'm angry about. Society lies to us from the day we are born to the day we die about what women are and their true nature. I'm angry at the men around me that figure it out, but refuse to acknowledge it and keep furthering the lie. I'm angry that people see how far the standards for decency have fallen and turn a blind eye to it and keep saying you'll find x one day because inside they hope they will find x one day. I know guys that have gone through or are going through the divorce wringer and they still keep trying hoping that reality will change. I know guys that did everything right back in the day 40 years ago and had society change on them and are now going to be paying alimony until they die... and they still keep trying keeping this sick system going.Anyways that's enough about that, it's time to get back to game dev. It'll at least be a good distraction until they start drafting us to die in WWIII.

>>487131249you know that 99.9% of games are played for 3-5 hours and that's it, right? no one needs people to be addicts to their game to be successful. also, not every game that keeps players for a longer time means they are addicting machines. you can enjoy tv for thousands of hours without being addicted to it; games are the same thing. if you don't actively try to create mechanics that keep your players playing 24/7, you're on the good side, and it's not less moral than any type of entertainment out there.

Paid content updates only make business sense if you're so massive (or deluded enough to think you're so massive) that you've already hit market saturation and can't get new buyers, and for context, remember that even Valve doesn't think it's big enough for that and always uses free content updates.But, you, know, the wholesome solodev meme or whatever.

>>487158351What the fuck that post doesn't exist
>>487158302The recent big free update got the stardew max number of players to a record all time high yes, but it's also true that Eric could very easily squeeze so much more money from his audience and they would be happy to pay
>>487139693The trader is hot, hope to see porn of him
>>487158941As big as Eric's audience may be, especially compared to the 0-100 audience types like us, it's nowhere near big enough for Eric to make more from squeezing the existing audience than from growing the audience. Unless you think Eric is somehow bigger than fucking Valve.

>>48715936830+ million copies isn't big enough?

Get yourself a Shabbos goy who will do all the work on your game for you.
>>487157241i don't get why godot doesn't have get_children_in_group
>>487159915pogookian please go, your smear campaign didnt work
>>487159561No. Team Fortress 2 has an estimated +80 million sold, and never once had a paid content update, because it was always more profitable to get new buyers.
>>487159368>>487158302If Stardew Valley had a big paid expansion pack that would make me think "woah there's a lot of new content, it's an entire expansion, I should try that!"if it's just a free update, it doesn't feel that substantial.
>>487160107Only SceneTree maintains a group dictionary lookup. Individual nodes need to iteratively check for their children's groups.
>>487160230>he doesn't understand the virtual hat economy and the insane profits it generates
>>487159368Was just going to post about this >>487159863Tynan milks the fuck out of his players
>>487149318>It seems to me like you believe everyone is vulnerable and "taken advantage of" and no one is responsible for their own actions. I can't argue with you from this position. The only way to stop being vulnerable is to get hurt. Not so bad that you'd get crippled, but not so lightly that you don't flinch from pain.>>and if society doesn't protect people from predators like you, what social contract is there?>Now you're asking the right questions. Society has plenty of other more dangerous predators, like billionaires paying 0 taxes through loopholes and exploits, Disney and large companies changing laws as they see fit with their money, seed oil industry, Nestle draining fresh water and whatnot. I'm glad porn games are making you aware of the state of society.and now you admit to lying and manipulating and being utterly evil. You have no honesty, and you love both doing evil and profiting from evil. You help the same entities you point out and distract with, and are well aware of it. Since you evaded the question, the conclusion is that you yourself is a child molester or someone that protects child molesters
>>487160540The point is free content updates are a common and well-known business strategy that loads of businesses use, but Ericschizos will find any excuse to suck him off.
>>487159915wow he's just like us frfr
>>487160697Forgot pic
sneed oils always attract the best schizos
>>487160931need more sports cars please understand
>>487160873The point is that you could get more players out of paid content than free content.
There are other advantages to the free content update business model than just audience growth, but no point getting into that here when most of us don't even have a product shipped yet.

Yall are really misguided if you think Eric is some greedy mastermind using his free update model to generate maximum profit. He just likes making people happy and feels genuinely grateful to the stardew community and wants to give back by continuing to delight them
>>487162771I will also be this way.I want to delight people with my Rogue-like which uses a lives based system.
>>487162583Kek well I guess that’s what I get for critiquing a man’s body
How many steam reviews do I need to get a gf that look like this?
>>487162771he just needs to be honest about his sports car collection and huge private lake.
>>4871630210. You just need to not be repulsive.
>>487157705those games have been released before steamslop existed
>>487162771And you're misguided if you think Eric is somehow special for using a free update model when loads of other businesses do it.
>>487163021Chad has ZERO games and has a gf that looks like that.
>>487163021looks like a normal girl, I prefer more of a fox-like face from my women. I basically want a gigantic tall Amazonian red haired woman with a wolf-like face.The woman you linked is too much of a pipsqueak.
>>487163198if I release on my own site, would my game be cracked and then just hosted on some file site?I'd have to basically do a Minecraft where I make people authenticate via an account right? It just has to be that way right?
i think the best way to cure perfectionism is just treating something as a job. in a job you are just supposed to put in some work each day, consistently. it doesn't matter so much if what you do is perfect, it just matters that you do your job and that it just werks.perfectionism is when you sit in your room all day waiting for the perfect idea, the perfect moment, trying to make the perfect product (and then getting mad when nobody is asking for it)
Losers stay mad while I keep collecting checks, slaying poon and driving sports cars
>>487162771true, but also don't just ignore the fact that eric made 200 million dollars with his game and when you're in a dreamlike-perfect situation it's way easy to have impeccable morals

Is there something like RPG Maker, with simple to use map/character/database editors, but with actual code for scripting logic instead of using menus? Like, say, RPG in a Box for Godot, except with old-school sprite system instead of voxels? Or would the only real choice be building something like that on my own on top of Godot/SDL/libGDX/whatever? Which I don't fancy due to the time investment required, but if that's the only choice...
peripeteia seems to have found a bug in the matrix, why the fuck is this game so popular, I've never seen a followers graph with such constant climb

>>487165760>why is an immersive sim Deus Ex clone so popular even tho Deus Ex is still the greatest game of all timeretard
>>487165976Yeah, I guess I'll have to find one myself. If people are still posting here it's because they haven't found another place.
>>487165669The biggest gain out of RPGM is the character creator, and unfortunately that's only licensed to be used with RPGM. You can piecewise assemble all the other main features of RPGM into Godot or whatever.
>>487164869>v0.9balmost v1.0!
>>487126487There is though. Unlike a game wuth a beautiful women where a coomer might just go out of his way to lust after her, a coom game is intended on causing one to lust and therefore sin. Therefore I cannot make a coom game, doesn't matter how rich I could get off it.
>writes zesty black male characterswhy does eric hate black men?
>>487166195i especially come here when i want to say negative or toxic things or when i want to vent. so i can behave well in the discords.
>>487166195I know it's popular and quirky / edgy to down this place for many, but I love it here.Discord is a big shit heap. This is nice. I've never stuck around with any discords for game dev, only stuck around here, and I intend keep this place close.

>>487165867Yeah, you can certainly do that, but it's an O(n) call, while SceneTree.get_nodes_in_group() is an O(1) call, since it's just a dictionary lookup. It doesn't matter if you're calling it in a place where you know it'll won't have too many children, but the SceneTree is meant to handle tens or even hundreds of thousands of nodes.

>>487167886People don't play Rimworld for the graphics, it's basically the same crowd that plays Dwarf Fortress, obsessed simulator fans.

>>487167335>>487167906Kek just like my plans of having my game done by early or mid 2022.......it was nowhere near completion. Still isn't done......

>>487167886whoa, wtf, this game costs 35 bucks without expansion packs? A glorified flash game for that kind of money? Ooof, someone bought it? For real brother, who buys games that don't respect their players, like I guess it's ok to charge 5 bucks for it but it has no appeal. If a game costs that much it should AT LEAST respect players by hiring some real artists that prepare nice graphics. This is lousy, very lousy. Is tynan that cheap? Can't he hire one malnourished artist to make his game look better? That guy drives a ferrari? >116 bucks with all expansionsI'm truly out of words

Going to make a variant of tic tac toe in godot.I aint making gay movie shit like JayPIgGys or FPS or zelda clones and waste months on something that nobody gives a shit.
If I do 'combinable DLC' would it be pretty good?Like , every expansion is standalone, and they also all combine.I'm thinking of something here but damn is it risky and scary.
Anons here don't like Tynan he notoriously doesn't understand why his game is a success, but tries to peddle his game design book anyways. Rimworld has two primary audiences: lower IQ women and children who play it like the "story generator" that Tynan wants his game to be and higher IQ gamers who try to play it like a simulation game, with the later being the larger audience, but Tynan himself primarily caters to the former while actively working against the later. Anons on agdg almost exclusively fall into the later category.
Took a surprisingly long time to get it so examining potions shows their properties, mostly because I didn't realize I needed to enable "fit content" on the richtextlabel in the vbox. Fucking why do I need to do that, otherwise the size is 0.0001 nanometers The code is a nightmare at this point, but considering I won't be working on this for more than 2 more months at max, the time I spend making my horrible code work is probably less than the time I would spend rewriting things to make them better. Anyway, potions are now working, both the brewing and the selling / examining them in inventory. Maybe a waifu who asks you to brew a specific potion as a quest would be fun.blorb it up
Have I ever told you about my amazing game design book?
>>487170218>he doesnt have a bunch of people gossiping about his personal lifelucky guy
>>487170648>play it like the "story generator" that Tynan wants his game to be This is the thing that genuinely confounds me.>copy dwarf fortress, a game that is truly a story generator, where it's not about winning or losing but generating a story>turn it into a game where it IS about winning or losing, and the game forces you to play in a specific way if you want to have any story other than "there were a lot of guys who attacked the colony, they killed the colonists">repeatedly market your game as a story generator, even though 90% of the game's systems are more suitable for a gameplay focused game rather than a story generator

>9,498 backers pledged CA$ 268,132 to help bring this project to life. https://youtu.be/AVJx_t2TvTE?feature=shared&t=163>Why Kickstarter? The game needs things that I can't do, that means audio and art.So considering Rimworld still has the same type of absolute garbage art from his prototypes does that mean he spent $270,000 on a musician?
>>487172393If I even said the 2 games I am combining, it'd basically be a mass rush of people in /agdg/ scrambling to make the game.I know I really have something unique on my hands. It's breaking my heart a bit thinking about just how beautiful this game is.
>>487172123The right way is to create an Area3D node with a sphere CollisionShape3D, but if you really must form a direct query, you have to do it through PhysicsDirectSpaceState3D.intersect_shape, which I strongly recommend against doing unless you really know what you're doing.

>>487171974Who cares if he copied DF? It would be better if he actually did. The game is more like The Sims, but in space and with organ harvesting.The problem with the game is that the recommended "storyteller" actively punishes players for playing well, and actively rewards players for playing poorly. This is great for bad, careless players, but to simulation game players, it turns into "Wow you managed to handle that really hard raid without any casualties? That wasn't supposed to happen. Well, I guess your entire town is going to have to suffer from a spontaneous incurable disease for the next 2 months."
>>487173774Your game is about cooking?

It looks non existent and solely to keep the player on his toes.

Pretty sure the class advice of making your steam page as soon as possible is outdated and detrimental now. I keep encountering stories of two things that lead me to this conclusion:1)Stories of people who did this, got a ton of traffic to their page after putting it up, but very few wishlists because their game was too early in development to look good. So it looks like steam is giving a substantial marketing push to new pages, and if your game page isn't firing on all cylinders, that free marketing will be completely wasted2) This leads to the second point, that steam reviewers seem to be pushing for a more complete page before publishing. I've seen more and more accounts of steam reviewers pushing for a trailer to be made or for a developer to polish up aspects of their page before publishing it. This leads me to believe that if a steam reviewer thinks your game has monetary potential, they'll push you to make your page look really good before publishing because they plan to push a lot of traffic your way.
>>487174819Everything has a front a back.
>>487174490You could go in the wild and survive off off these books. The experience should be inspiring.
>>487172405Technically your own salary counts towards the funds. Which is why I don't understand why some people don't ask for more. $10k, $30k, $50k, all too little. If I'm going to dev on this game for 2 years that cost is going to include a salary for myself, costs for the game, and some profit. Considering taxes and kickstarters cut I'd have to request at least $150k. Increase that by 75k for each additional year I expect for development.

>>487173698No you're not.I'm going to be among the /agdg/ devs here who literally become huge names in the Indie space during the Indie Renaissance.

Should I work on my game or goon again
>>487174254I'm working on the idea.One of the games is Dwarf Fortress.It's more than 2 games, and if I tell you the others it's going to explode this general probably.It's such a unique idea.
I don't know where to ask but /agdg/ sounds like the right place.I would like to make a small game that would have some few thousands entities in a 2D map ala CDDA. With a focus on performance but with a not cancer GUI. What libraries are recommended?I was thinking of bashing together something with SDL and imGUI or SMFL.
>>487176407He never said he had any of that

>>487159863>>487160697Kek. I want to milk my playerbase of their money too. Why leave that money on the table? I'd rather have that then a few seconds of them praising me for free content updates only to go buy a bunch of DLC in another game and praise it as well.
alright guys, need some advice here.I don't want to be releasing a bunch of paid expansions, but I like the idea of "Categorized and separate content packs"So maybe I just have my game be early access and have each major update be very themed?
>>487176432it's an italian thing, white "people" wouldn't understand
>>487176698Why do you need infinite money? Wouldn't you prefer your game to be accessible to as many people as possible once you're set for life? Isn't that everyone's goal?
How do you design open world maps without every map just becoming a big oval?

>>487176984Ive seen what the typical gamer is like. Id rather just take their money seeing how stubborn and demanding they are. Once I have the golden apple tree each apple will be dangled in front, for a price. Sure there are few who genuinely love the game but many are just the demanding type who screech over every little thing while demanding a low price. Now that the tables have turned I can make the demands of how much they pay to get the DLC or if they get it for free.
Noticed GOG Galaxy has a 2.0 coming out soon which puts its features a bit closer to Valve parity, but it's still far off in many ways. It makes me wonder why, having historically offered so much less to the developer/publisher than Valve, they haven't offered a marginally better profit share instead of matching Valve's 30% take like they do. What's the incentive for any party to prefer GOG over Steam?2.0 legitimately looks like its worth using as a consumer, but I'm still directed to storefronts by where the games are prioritized—which will still be Steam because it still offers more to devs. This would be the perfect time to adjust their take to 25%—it's not like CDPR is destitute or anything, they can take the upfront losses to incentivize long-term growth, right?
>>487177838He looks like he licks hands afterwards
>>487176985look up geometric patterns from shit like arabic art and sacred geomety.
Yesterday people were wondering why Galaia failed, well i'm doing my research out here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oah1cKtExbs)It seems the reasons are:very repetitive rooms,very repetitive enemies (they're all the same really)in a 30-minute run, you unlock 50% of relics (pathetic)the screen where you choose your new abilities is so annoying; in 5 minutes, you realize that you'll see the same old crap over and over again - megashot, damage, fire rate, range, that's about it, wow, exciting!!!In a genre where replayability is king, they seem to have ignored the quality of their replayabilitybasically, they got a genre where it's easier to create content for, but didn't create the content, the experience is very underwhelming, and anyone with a brain would detect that, i guess the devs are art monkeysanything else to add?
>>487177691I'm pretty sure the last time I went to my dealer they put in an old air filter into my cabin and they sent me pictures of my engine filter which looked fine except for one thumb sized black grease smudge from the tech touching it with his dirty hands and then told me I needed them changed. The engine filter is rated for 50,000km and my car was barely at 30.
>>487178482>What's the incentive for any party to prefer GOG over Steam?you actually owning the game
>>487178928typicaleveryone tries to fuck you one way or another
>>487178870Yeah. I can see, it's looking pretty repetitive already. So it's a lack of content.More content = more sales. You could say:>Originality/Novelty/Marketableconcept * Content = SalesWouldn't be surprised if they're using unreal assets and they can't easily get more of the same theme.
>>487178870lottery
>>487179239but as a dev you don't gain anything extrasteam at least has regional pricingGOG has much worse offers for me
>>487178870not shocking, pricing a game that looks like that only 5 dollars signals that it has barely any content
>>487179512it's not like your game has to be exclusive to either platform
>>487177708Pokemon but you make the pokemon fuck instead of fight and/or you fuck them outside of fights. I'm surprised it hasn't been done before, there's money waiting to be made.
Gamedev is insane. I hate it.Desire to an hero growing with each passing day of frustration and failure.

>>487180143
>>487179629GOG! 25% or I won't put it there! Your loss (time is ticking)
>>487178870Watching the video makes me feel like anything I choose have no impact at all, that slay the spire screen gives that feel, the ability screen also, the enemies having the exact same AI which is basically just spawning their pattern of bullets. I think for this kind of game, it would probably be better not to promote, because people would see the videos be 100% sure to ignore it, saying the game has underwhelming gameplay is an understatement>>487179584Such a shame, beautiful assets wasted with terrible gameplay
>>487179239Steamworks DRM is entirely optional, you can have DRM free games on Steam.
>>487178870this summary page is neatshame that there seems to be a lot of jank /readability issues. have to wonder why a game like necrovale makes it decent but this doesn't, perhaps necrovale is just more readable and looks a bit more aesthetically distinct (even if I hound the dev to add more art detail)
>>487180507>beautiful assetsthey look like your typical unity asset flip 101
>>487179239Most people don't care about that when there's so much platform investment already. For many people friends being on Steam and the features around that is important. The family-sharing and remote-play options are huge draws. Few people in the grand scheme think about the benefit of DRM-free when shopping places like Steam—proven by their historic lack of audience pull with that as their main, unique selling feature over Steam.And, importantly, as I've noted, if I'm an indie dev why the FUCK would I be looking at GOG when Steam's reach and platform support for early development dwarfs it? Early in 1.0 launch, why would I ever risk my game more quickly going up on pirate sites? As a publisher, why would I want that lack of DRM either?
>>487180917You disgust me
>>487180737Into the Necrovale>Average playtime: 9.3hGalaia>Average playtime: 1.5hGee I wonder why. Complete mystery. Some retards might even all it a>lottery
How the fuck do I design an engaging roguelite
>>487180737Into the Necrovale looks obviously better than Galaia. Damn, this must really just be some sort of sense that you have to develop if you don't see it.Galalia looks boring and lifeless.
>>487181434Synergies
>>487177170Right now, my Dream Game™ is to make a spiritual successor to an old dungeon crawler called Mordor: the Depths of Dejenol and also expand it and add additional mechanics beyond the dungeon. Other inspirations include any roguelike and a game called Sorcerer's Cave. Early on, you'd make whatever minmax/meme character/party you want, explore the dungeon, gain strength, level up, great. Because crawlers tend to be grindy, I would like to have a way to easily automate party AI (think FF12 gambits). So then once you've established yourself, you can make a party that explores and grinds automatically; it's now shifted from micromanaging the party to scaling up your resources.At this point, you could configure a second party to farm the upper floors automatically (since you know what to expect/optimize for) while your main one continues manual exploration. Maybe you'll visit other dungeons or regions with your main party at this point. From here, it would start to have mild 4X elements, with simulated economies and regions. My thought is that you could tag different nodes within a dungeon that produce X special resource per week, which you could then use to upgrade towns, eg better guild halls (more xp% or raised level caps) or faster healing, better trade ranges, more goods, more products for supply/demand, that sort of thing.>>487179317>everyone tries to fuck you one way or anotherIt's not that they're trying to fuck you over per se, it's more that they're looking out for their own best interests. If they can cut corners, they can. After all, it's their own wellbeing over your own.
>>487181434Make a roguelike instead
guys, I'm making a rogue-like with lives.
>>487181893I can't, it's an FPS at its base. And no I'm not cosmic call dev.
>>487181956VS has lives
>>487181215noooooooooooo it's pure RNG how long players spend on your grindfest!!
>>487182076I'm making a way different game than VS
Alright, you're right. I can't do it. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time.
>>487181956Cube Chaos has livesIsaac has livesChimera King has livesBalatro has Mr. Bones
>>487182363Ok but I'm making a completely different game than all of those games.
>>487182006Why would being an FPS stop a game from being a rougelike? And why would a roguelite be so different?
>>487181172Why? I'm just laying-out market realities. This doesn't reflect my view; I'm working on a passionate project that I'm going to put up on itch because I hate money apparently :^)
>>487182480Roguelikes are turn-based.
>>487178928Yeah I assume the same of dealerships but I also assume theyre more likely to paly it right. Shame they are now not alllwing 10+ year old cars. Kek they really want you to buy the newer stuff while leaving you cars too heavily integrates with tech that likely makes it hard to find a mechanic that can fix it.>>487180453This. Why put more effort for less customers? Im not porting to Linux so why would I trouble myself over managing another storefront page? I'd probably still do it since it's probably more sales than even Linux would giveme on Steam kek.>>487180609But doesnt Steam forcibly launch itself open to even just play the game unless you go on offline mode but then it needs to eventually connect iirc
>>487182323Apology accepted. See you tomorrow.
Going well outside a weird bug or two. I decided to do stuff like change the light intensity for some stuff which makes things look a lot better and more horror like. Not sure if I will keep one setting or not or I will change it, but sometimes enemies will only appear half way in the light or will actively hide in the darkness, when it is suppose to be almost right in front of the player.
>>487182554oh I'm making a non turn based rogue-like.
>>487182556>But doesnt Steam forcibly launch itself open to even just play the game unless you go on offline mode but then it needs to eventually connect iircOnly if the game itself is setup to require Steam. Developers have the option to just let the executable run without Steam.

>>487135460Glorifying obesity is a quintessentially American phenomenon. Almost as American as glorifying niggers.
>>487181956That's nice. Now make it tie into other mechanics: perhaps it lowers your sanity or stats permanently, or increases corruption or something, so you have a strong incentive to not use it, but still interact with other mechanics

>>487183198Keep writing more game design documents, go back to the drawing board. Sketch out and outline all possible options, think about all of the pros and cons. Spend a long time doing this, really just iron everything out and leave no stone unturned. Basically what I’m saying is you should do anything besides just, like, making game. That’s the best way to make a game, by actually not making it at all
game about a baby anthro cat man in a suit who is overworked and keeps saying " I think I'm gonna keel over soon... " thank me later.

>>487184154>>487184351uhhhh>https://sengami.itch.io/ash-the-cat>>487185331golden eyed big titty gf wen!
>>487126402You're misunderstanding the graph. 38,065 game developers' first game was so successful they never had to work on another game ever.
>>487181847One other thing I want to elaborate on. Sorcerer's Cave was originally a card/board game, so it has certain interactions. An encounter there has several creatures and treasures. For example, Lotus Powder immediately puts an enemy unit to sleep, effectively killing them before combat even happens. That's the sort of thing I want to have, precombat interactions, and multiple ways to achieve the same goals.You could play some kind of build where you poison enemies; in combat, you could go with a rogue or assassin that applies DoT effects with skills or attacks. Maybe it's an item-based build that poisons them with diplomatic interactions. How do you get your poisons? Perhaps you have a foraging skill that lets you acquire herbs yourself. Maybe you help develop the nearest town (light woodland) so that it has a hedge-wizard or apothecary that you can buy some mixtures cheaply. Maybe it's a coastal town with a good import network and you have access to expensive, exotic poisons (which requires more money, which means you'll be finding more creative ways to afford it). Based on your build choices and how you approach things, this can drive how you interact and develop the game world/economy.It's not going to be simulated like Dwarf Fortress, but I want to create multiple play styles and pathways to get the same thing done.And speaking of precombat things, encounters would have a "reaction" modifier. For example, goblins might have a +30 hostile reaction to females (predatory), or solo characters (easy prey), and have a -30 hostility to certain religious symbols (their war gods) or same race. In this way, even though the mechanics would be hidden from the player, certain encounters would have a certain "feel" to them, and they might be surprised when they approach things slightly differently.Building on that theme, the skill system would be more freeform. You're an archer that dabbled in fire magic? Cool, you probably know how to cast Fire Arrow now.

>>487176582>xananax [he/him]>that messageI am baffled. Years ago it would have been extreme satire. I'm stunned not because of this dude, but because somewhere it means a formula exists making any extreme satire a certain future.It's contemplating the fact that thoughts, no matter how extreme, can have a place on this earth if you live long enough.
I fixed tic tac toe, my niggas.:)
I'm making a game about crafting and I have a nice mechanic thought out for the crafting part, but how do I make the ingredient gathering any fun? I was planning not to add any combat, it would just be you picking the ingredients from around the map, but the more I think about it I start to think that it's just going to feel like a chore if there's nothing else to it
>>487186636I could release 10 games with that much money
>>487185852As for how I'd approach skills, it'd probably be implemented with a sort of tag/attribute system tied to a knowledge system. Fire Arrow would require something like 20 Archery and 20 Fire knowledge. The skill itself would add to your Evocation/Conjuring or general magic knowledge. Some mechanism would allow you to transfer that knowledge into other areas (if you're really good at Fire magic, you probably understand the basics of Ice magic too, if you can conjure things, you can probably teleport or make things fuck off well too, etc). The overall goal would be to have your character(s) grow organically based on your choices. This may or may not be compatible with the scaling up and automation I described aboveI also like the idea of displaying less information and making the player work for it. Things like specific HP levels would require some kind of anatomy/diagnosis skill, or divination magic, that sort of thing.I know a lot of this sounds like ideaguy bait (and it mostly is), but I think it's a good idea to have specific and tangible ideas to work towards. Posting this here has forced me to consolidate and streamline a few ideas so I can express them betterThank you for coming to my TED Talk
>>487186820ok make the game you want to make

>you can return 2 values directly in pythonWOW
>>487187413Just wait until you discover Rust
>>487187413can do it in C as well
>>487187413Uhhhh?
>>487187552in Rust you can't do that xDwell you can return a tuple i guess, same thing
>>487187413In Python, it's soft typed so it's really easy to pass tuples around. You can also do this in C# with the Tuple<T1, T2, ...> structure, but it's more cumbersome. Although, if you have to return multiple values, you may want to rethink how your code is structured.>>487187558Unions, right?
>>487182554That's traditional roguelikes, roguelikes are just games with proc-gen and permadeath, and roguelites are roguelikes with metaprogression.Traditional roguelike fans tried to claim back their genre name but failed, and the mainstream has settled on these definitions.
>>487187413Syntactic sugar for tuples, you can do it in any language
>>487187930>>487182554Is Crypt of the Necrodancer a traditional roguelike? You're forced to take a turn every N seconds. Some purists would argue it's not, because you should have as much time as you want to take a turn. However, you could argue that it IS a traditional RL, it just has a gimmick attached to it.Modern action Roguelites are turn based as well. It's just that you're forced to take a turn 60 times a second.
>no (You)s>no likes>no appeal>no money>no job>no girlfriend>no chancebut I'm pushing on because what the fuck else am I gonna do?
>>487188097tfw GDScript has no tuples so you have to use a dict

I don't make the game while trying to be faithful to any sort of genre convention or style.I just mercilessly take what I think is cool from wherever I want and add it.mid poly with modern lighting.Rogue-like with lives and not turn-based.

how in the heck is someone supposed to incorporate Table top dice rolls into a 1st person melee game without it having the Morrowind problem?I guess just base hit chance off of if the player reacts well enough to hit and then roll almost everything else?So if you hit, then it rolls for DMG.
>>487188205Traditional roguelikes should probably be determined with the Berlin Interpretation.I don't care for the definition of "traditional roguelike", because I think a genre shouldn't have an extremely strict and complex definition, at that point you may as well call them "rogue clones" or "games heavily inspired by rogue". The suffix "-like" has come to mean "having the core characteristics of that game that sets it apart from other games".
>>487189723this is a good point lol at some point you can say "It's not a Super Mario-like because it doesn't have a char with a red hat."

>>487190045Rogue-lites are characterized by a meta-progression system. Every run makes subsequent runs easier.
>>487190779no
>>487189013that's damn truei love Rust
>>487190045In the past, yeah, maybe. They tried to give that label to any game that's not similar enough to rogue, but times change.
>>487189901i know one spanish dev that's making a serious professional game around tic-tac-toe. i'm just saying you could still make a proper game out of it, but you do have to think outside the box and just expanding the playing space is pretty boring.
Plog: progged.Thanks for reading my plog (my progress blog.)
>>487190779Classic Rogue has a meta progression system, because you learn more even though the game doesn't change.
>>487190779meta-progression includes harder difficulty modifiers
someone asked why i called Solitaire Battle a Balatro-like and not a roguelite and this is why

I summon runaschizo to bless our upcoming OP
>>487192140I know I can grill.
>>487191976anyone got the other one where he takes off the mask and puts on the hat
>>487189457On a hidden miss roll, have the enemy dodge or counter the instant the sword would collide
>>487191293Even with all the knowledge in the knowledge in the world, you cannot beat a game like Rogue Legacy, Hades, or VS on the first run. You must lose, send points on power, and use that power to eventually win.
Lesson learned today bros. Clear out your model's vertex data before parenting your rig with automatic weights, otherwise your export to godot could get fucked up.
>>487193417good thing I'm not using troondot
gamedev is so hard

Please use a previous op as a template, baker. This one's broken.>captcha: NGMTVT
>>487192929this may actually solve enemy AI with involved sword play. thanks
>>487193997>NGMTVT>Never Gonna Make That Vidya, Trevor
>>487194063you definitely want enemy to detect when an attack would hit ahead of time. if he starts dodging when you hit him and the dodge works that'd feel like bs.
>>487194314trevor bros...

Maybe I'm not perfect after all, and I have some flaws. Yeah, that's right, my flaw is when I listen to little worms like you, trying to make my game worse on purpose with your little shit "feedback". Oops, guess I'm naive in expecting everyone to be as good and pure as I am.
>>487193743thanks anon
frog fractions but actually about fractions
>>487171145>Some imagine game development as a path that we follow toward ourdestination. I disagree with this image. I think it’s more like a dark forestfull of stinging monsters, waiting to inject you with anesthetic poison.Each time you bump into one, it stings you and the poison makes youfeel warm and content. But under the surface, the stings are stealing yourvigor, dissolving you from the inside. It’s only later, as your strength runslow and the moon clouds over, that you might realize that the pleasantfeeling you’ve enjoyed all this time wasn’t progress. It was death.He knows us so well
