Do you intend to be in demo day 58? Does it look like you'll meet the deadline atm?

>>487545168No...Yes!
>look up my game in the archives>zero mentions
Dont quit your job
$1M game idea: top-down detective game using Darkwood's line-of-sight system. You see events as the detective does.
>be away from computer>everlasting motivation to just like make gaem>get to computer>stare blankly at screen>minimize editor 4 minutes later
>>487545257never had one to begin with
>>487545080Not much actual progress, but grenade launchers & target-rich environments tend to make it hard to focus on real work.
>>487545257Amateur gamedev is my jobby.
>>487545485Just dev without computer
>>487545474Not sure detective game would benefit much from it. You have all the time in the world to explore around, after all.Now bodyguard with that mechanic...
i'm fixing everything
How would you improve these graphics? It's a VN, so no 3D.
>>487546428I would redo the models entirely.
>>487546053But it doesn't Marnix. it just doesn't.
>>487546428Weird shadows
Any tips on drawing pixel icons? I find 24x24 really hard to work at, but I can't scale up
>>487546428>It's a VN, so no 3D.Weird because it looks like a screenshot from a 3D game
>>487545171Who is this tatar gentleman??
>>487546979You can render 3D models in 3D software.
I keep having game ideas that would require a gf to make
>>487547271just buy a gf
>>487547271Babies aren't games, Anon.At least not fun ones.
>>487547271this but just another guy to make the game with.
>>487547271Become your own GF :)
>>487547271I'll be your publisher and give you a girlfriend but I take 30% of her every month.
>>487548139cumulatively :^)
>>487548139>3 months later>GF consumed and gone
good morning devs, i wish you all a good day of progressme, i'm finally learning tweens
mid week progress, worked on some textures
>>487546053chat is this true?
>>487548293>>487548304I wonder if I can get her to build 30% of fat every month
>>487548791>>487548712>>487545876great stuff
Hey guys, wazzup?! Coming in from the Discord, it's real chill! No bots, no ecelebs, no spam, it's the bee's knees! See you all there!https://discord.gg/DSzZa9K
>>487549368Froggy and Cris are there, I passI'll just stay in the IC one
>>487549368No, thanks. That Discord officially endorses bullying.
my game is held together with scotch tape and faith
if i wanted a bitmap font, or a raw binary font like from a zx spectrum character set, where would i easily get one in a conventional format (not scalable)or do i need to make it myself
>>487549749I don't get it. Why not just google "bitmap font"?https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/fntgrp
>>487545876>>487548712>>487548791Hell yeah
>>487546053>dyel in the gym>nodev in game devI can't go on anymore...
abandoned my 3d tp shooter game cause shit was taking too long. hoping this is gonna go better
>>487550069that page didn't show up in my resultsand looking at it, it doesn't even have a conventional format.
>>487550552Works on my machine
>>487550262very neat
>>487550262>3rd person shooter>taking too longJust use Unreal you retard. There's a sample project that's basically a ready to ship multiplayer TPP shooter with data driven systems in place that are easy to adapt to whatever you need
>>487548943>look at GabeHmm.>look at NotchHmmm.>look at Toby, Hopoo, Blow, Lucas Pope I dunno bro, what do you think?
>>487546053
In godot what would be the best/simplest way to go about a tilemap having different properties, IE for something like a particular wall you can’t walljump on when you can for the others
>>487546053makes sense. mens sana in corpore sano. a healthy body is a pretequisite for a healthy mind
>>487551858He didn't say it was the only way to make gains in games.
Placeholders were a mistake. I should have just made the final asset as I need them
>>487552361It doesn't give any gains whatsoever to your game directly (unless you're making a gym game), just general health improvement, but that's like saying eating olive oil and garlic will lead to gains in your games.
>>487552662it takes like, 30 seconds to swap in and out a placeholder as long as you used empties to hold your animations and stuff.... you DO use empties to easily translate your animations to new models, right?
>>487551858>look at tynan sylveste-
I should have made a game with a rabbit character..
regret...
>>487552961>Alexa, bring up how Tynan Sylvester looked like BEFORE he got rich from Rimworld. Face it, you either gotta be skinny or fat to hit it big with games. Afterwards it doesn't really matter.
>>487553374>tfw both skinny AND fatI'm GMI
hope is fadinglife is drainingfuture dissipating
>>487553440Same...
>art fag is back from vacation>says he's itching to get started with somethingHope is growingLife is healingFuture bright
>>487553872what does Japanese cartoons have to do with that?
wish i had a gamedev partner
>>487552798Healthy body leads to healthy mindHealthy mind leads to healthy devingHealthy deving leads to gains
>>487554246Some games were made by a deranged minds, not healthy ones.Also Gym != Health. Gym does have some health benefits but it's not a strict equal relationship. People from Okinawa and Sardinia lead the healthiest lives and have the highest lifespans but they don't go to the gym, they just eat properly and go for walks.
>>487552219>even crabs have mating
>>487554031Same, except exclusively a gamedev partner (female) (gf)...
>>487554770i want a bro. like a legolas to my gimli
>>487554738Well, obviously. You can compensate health with pure unadultered autism, but for every such dev that succeeds there are hundreds who fail.
>>487555103>ask art bro for a handful of sprites>delivers a massive sprite sheet>"that still only counts as one!"and then we kiss
>>487555103It will probably be hard to find a lasting bond on anonymous thread. Why don't you try on the Discord or on Xwitter?
your options of fellow aggydaggy gamedevs to collab with areee *drumroll*:>Autistic skinny guy!>Autistic skinny-fat guy!>Autistic fat guy!
>>487555605Ehhh if they have the right kind of autism
>>487555605Why do you care about mans appearance?Are you a faggot?
Been working on some of the sprites today. Just a few pieces of artwork left.I made one where if you beat the 7th character she will applaud you.
>>487555605how about autistic roided guy?
I think I have most of the logic code setup for the goodies looting.Did not think yet of a duplicate mechanic though. I'm going to add a completion rate indicator.What format do you prefer your collectables?xxx/yyyorxx%
stair physics
>coomsroll pinterest>see this>immediately remembered bunniggerFucking assetflipper
>>487552820I spent 3 years with placeholders and still suck balls at blender now it feels like it's time to replace them. If I'd just started instead of waiting until I was sure what was staying, I'd have 3 years of practice making finished/good assets
>>487556650xxx/yyy
>>487534215based, i hope i'll get a lot too when my ero game comes outDid someone make a DD57 artwork btw
>>487555904This anon takes cocks up the butt
>>487556959>it keeps happeningThat's some soul right there, I love seeing shit in different degrees of destruction.
>>487557472Anon was working on a piece with devs sitting around a table, but I believe it's abandoned
need me a bpd asset artist fat girl to completely fuck over my game
>>487556959cute
>>487548712more like (E)wbroken
>>487557775grim if true
Marnix is a coward.
can i be your artist (not good at anything art related)
>>487557472only one I've seen was this.There is a sketch with the inner circle around a circular table but I haven't seen it complete.
>>487558481i'm stealing that, thanks
>>487558481yoooooooooooooo nigga got no chill bruh
>>487546770You can work natively at that resolution or you can use a multiple of it (so 96x96 for example) then scale it down (you can try different scaling algorithms, whatever your image editor provides, until you find the one that gives you the best result).Either way you'll want to go for the simplest composition possible for the icon, no fancy details, no complex shapes, and as few colors as possible.
>>487548712
>ObjectDB instances leaked at exitMy game is literally pissing itself.
>>487548712What are you using tweens for? I am not sure what is happening in this webm that requires tweens.
after months of working on my game, it has 3 minutes worth of gameplay
>>487531706piracy rates are 90~95%that's why you have to update faster than the pirates.
>>487560392That's pretty normal (assuming the game isn't incredibly basic) are those 3 minutes fun?
>>487560570I like it
finally a good patreon feature
after seconds of working on my game, it has 3 months worth of gameplay
>>487560392Halo had 30s of gameplay
>>487549467you can block latinx retard there unlike here
So if I want to put a bunch of colliders in a weirdly shaped empty area, do I just fill it with cubes and capsules or is making an invisible mesh with mesh collider a good idea?
>>487553926What do repeated SomethingAwful memes have to do with that?
>>487556063I left this place for 2 months and somehow this game looks worse than before. Sorry anon.
>>487552820elaborate
>>487559920smoothing the quick turni used to have an instantaneous 180 degrees snap
>>487558550Can I be your director, project manager and designer? (has never directed anything)
>>487561146this was my progress two months ago
>>487545876are those static meshes with texture anims or skeletal mesh? been wondering how to optimize horde stuff in my game
/agdg/ does not play games
>>487562814If you want thousands of complex moving enemies on screen at the same time you’ll have to look into vertex animations
>>487562871I play path of exile and it makes everyone here have a meltie when I mention it
>>487562871i make em!
>>487562871I play lots of games.
Whats your game design philosophy?Mine is strict adherence to the ABAP Principle.
>>487561313let's say you have weapon animations for your characterif you move those weapons after doing the animations, the position keyframes will still be the old ones, so the weapons will teleport all over the placenow let's say you have a "primaryWeapon" empty, or node3d, with the weapon as its childnow, when you move the empty, the animations will still work just fine, because the keyframes are relative to the parent in local spaceso you can just swap a new model in, change the root object of the animation player, move the empty with the weapons as children, and you have successfully recycled your animations without having to redo your keyframes
>>487562924>vertex animationsthat's basically texture anims no? i was thinking of using those but then my horde npcs got complex animation that can blend with each other and does some physics stuff on hit/kill dunno if that's even possible using it without skeletal mesh. was thinking of maybe only having the skeletal mesh on characters that are close to you, but i don't really know how to switch it seamlessly when you're running close to different horde npcs.
>>487563263so sad steve jobs died of ABAP
>>487563513Steve Jobs did WHAT?
what do you do when you have irl stuff that keeps you down but you want to keep on devving
>>487563483What you’re talking about is very complex to achieve in practice, and if it wasn’t then every 3D game would have thousands of enemies on the screen at once
>>4875632631. Games don't need to be fun2. The player doesn't need to understand the game3. Have at least one original thing in every game
>>487563706I dev unless it's another too sad to dev episode
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Brincaca architecture. A random Brincacian caught on camera near his house.
>>487563779i wasn't saying it isn't complex, i just didn't know if vertex animation/texture animation are the same thing. but eh anyway i probably won't even try dabbling into it. i guess i'll look into ecs shit for now.
does anybody have a sound effect of a big stone door opening I can borrow
>>487564141Brah is that the house from Blue’s Clues?
>>487564141I have no idea if this is genuine or not
>>487551404nah it’s not even that. programming tps stuff is relatively easy, its just 3d modeling and rigging models was a real pain probably since i was starting from basically zero there. prolly will just learn 3d more casually on side and tackle the tps project later when i understand wtf im doing
If anything the Nortubeldev imposters have shown that the level of quality of Nortubel takes effort and isn't trivial to reach.
>>487564286>does anybody haveyes :)>I can borrowno :)
If gun B does twice as much damage as gun A, but shoots about 66% as fast, should it cost more than A, or the same?
>>487564694I don't know.
>>487564570he has consistently improved over time.
I want to make Monochrome Fantasy clone.Strip girl minigame and some adventuring
>>487564320I'm glad you got the reference. It's a "fake homage" game after all.
>>487564694I mean it depends, how big is the magazine? How long is reload time? Just create a dummy with infinite health, shoot at it for a minute or so and write some function which calculates DPS, taking into account the reload time and whatnot. DPS will be a good indicator of value.
>>487564670rude...
sorry had to give the /v/ thread a crumb of progress instead of this one

Is there a music making program that will allow me to write and input sheet music? Everything I see requires a midi keyboard and I don’t know how to play the piano.
>>487565541i dont have an account on there
>>487562814Static mesh with texture animation, yes.>>487564161>i just didn't know if vertex animation/texture animation are the same thingI never look too much into proper nomenclature, but IIRC vertex animation also include stuff that's purely algorithmic - low poly bird's flapping or fish swimming can be vertex animated with raw math formula.Texture animation mean the animation was to complex and you had to actually store the "final" data. AFAIK, most texture animation directly store each vertices' position for each frame, because it's much simpler to handle and faster to compute - but it doesn't work well with "high" poly stuff because the texture become rapidly gigantic.What I'm using is "bone-based" texture animation, which stay compact no matter how many vertices the model has (it only scale with the number of bones in the skeleton)... but the counterpart is that you have to cram all the matrix madness about bindpose/boneweight into the shader to get where the fuck the vertex need to go.
I give up... I can't make a game. I lost my spark.
>>487566163Same, except I don't give up.
>>487565219>Very tempting.Makes me wonder what ever happened to the catgirl game on here.
>>487565972make one. use a burner email, that's what i did.
>>487566364>download some hot audio porn with my dev account>mfw it shows what you have downloaded publiclyWelp
I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
>>487566541>it shows what you have downloaded publiclyf-for real?
>>487566318I've already tried some things and I might be able to pull it off (mechanics). strip game is the hardest part, everything else would be easy.
>>487566541such minefields exist everywhere anon. Some nsfw artist likes one of my dev account tweets, look at their timeline, be very careful not to accidentally like or repost anything, especially because it was cringe
>Do everything correct as the tutorial states>Still fail miserabilyWhy is my life like this? I have always been told "you can't get always get what you want from life" but i never seem to get anything.
>>487566668I just checked and yes, every sound has a log of everybody that downloaded it rofl
>>487566973Same...
>>487566973I take solace in the fact that even though my game is very close to the bottom, it's not in last place.
most Indie devs give up after the first game
>>487566770Luckily I'm based enough that I don't mind.
>>487567154
These are some of the worst days of my life.
>>487567338I'm barely making my first game...
I'm gonna give up after my first game because it will sell 999999999999999999 copies
What's your version of Stealth Nodev™? "I don't feel like anything but let me still do some work"Mine is doing cutscenes and art
>>487567602Steam will rebrand to only selling your game
>>487566973Is the person who runs that kill?Why won't they add Tricky Madness to coming soon
>>487566973This will never happen, that page never gets updated, the dev who made it died. The other one gets updated.
Procrastinating by posting micro progress @144FPS.
>>487566716>I've already tried some thingsAnything worth showing? Sounds interesting.>strip game is the hardest partTo me it would seem that the strip game would be the easiest as it is pretty much a linear step progression kind of deal, but of course it depends on what minigame(s) you wish to go for.
>>487567846I....... What?
>>487567754We have a better one already tho
wtf
>>487567714I have a document where I write down all my thoughts about the game. Like, if I come up with a feature I write down how that feature would work. Or when I change my mind on something, I don't delete or change what I have already written down, but instead I write down "So I did some more thinking on that feature, and I think..." It currently has about 11,000 words.

Good morning aggydaggy Today I will finish my intro to unreal course and begin my first solo project.
>>487568108Pretty average /agdg/ release date.
>>487568108Hopefully it'll be worth the weight
>>487566149>"bone-based" texture animationi imagined you have this texture animation for some sort of a "stick man" vertex which gets translated/multiplied/extrapolated or whatever with shader magic into positions based on the mesh or something? can't really imagine how it calculates which part of the bone connects to which part of the vertices in the mesh.
>>487568206Works for me.
game ideas?
>>487567885No, just some placeholder images and buttons that change variables.
>>487567846sir, gaining items should make the game easier, not harder
>>487568725Yes!

>>487571390A Dragon's Lung.A big, bleeding sac organ with a spout on the end where it would have connected to the dragon's airway. When the player equips the Lung, he gives it a meaty slap as if to cock the weapon. He holds the spout with his off hand like the handguard of a rifle and the trigger hand holds the larger sac. To fire, the Lung is squeezed, firing a wad of napalm that explodes. The slow reload is the Lung reinflating before it can be squeezed again. For extra flavor, like pulling the trigger on an empty gun gives a Click, if you fire the Lung before it's reinflated/cool down is complete, it is squeezed and releases a harmless puff of smoke.

They don't lead to getting girlfriends either.

>>487572928>why would you want to do a revshare anyway?So far, 100% of the games I've worked on have been financial disasters. If the artist agreed to a revshare, I probably wouldn't have to pay her anything because the game would never make any money.
Conceptually, how does this framework sound>bullet hell>regular fire is a fan/cone attack for popcorn enemies>focus is a narrow laser>not holding the fire button quickly builds up a meter>charged regular shot is a wide, high damage beam>charged focus shot is handful of high-damage homing projectiles>there's a graze mechanic and grazing builds charge fasterThe idea is to give players a reason to not hold down Z the entire game. If focused, the player is probably micro-dodging a dense pattern, so firing off a couple homing shots at bosses or tougher regular enemies would be helpful.
>>487568398>can't really imagine how it calculates which part of the bone connects to which part of the vertices in the meshThat's what weight painting is in modelling. They call it BoneWeights in Unity tho.Each vertex store 4 bone IDs and 4 weights. This tell the vertex which bones to follow and by how much (weights must add to 1).A sword in your character hand would have [Palm's bone's ID: 100%] on all it's vertices (hard/mechanical stuff general follow a single bone)Meanwhile a vertex on the side of your character's boobs would have something like [Chest's bone's ID: 50%, Shoulder's bone's ID: 40%, Neck's bone's ID: 10%], with a gradient from vertices to vertices ensuring a smooth transition from one bone to another.>some sort of a "stick man" vertex which gets translated/multiplied/extrapolated or whatever with shader magic into positions based on the meshThat's what BindPoses do.Basically vertices don't use a bone's actual position&rotation, but by how much it moved compared to it's T-pose (since a vertex's "starting" position is the one it has in T-pose)A BindPose is the reverse of a bone's TRS matrix in its default position - sorry, no real way to clarify that one. What it mean is that a bone in Tpose multiplied by the bindpose equal 0, so multiplying by the boneweight also equal 0, and thus the vertex stay in its starting position when the skeleton is in T-pose.Once the bone move, multiplying by the bindpose *isn't* 0 anymore, and instead is equal to the "difference" of how much it moved - and multiplying the vertex by that (and the bone weight) mathemagically give you the vertex's new position.TLDR: Maths. Way too much maths. With poor documentation. Half of the shit I wrote is stuff I guessed, and might just be coincidentally correct.And then there is the matter of storing all of that in the mesh itself, 'cause those data are usually not sent to the GPU and kept CPU-side (I put them in the UV channels so the shader can read them).
>>487573760there is no culture in this shithole
>>487574007And this is why all but the most naive artists avoid rev-shares like the plague. "Fuck you, pay me."
Working in Godot I've got this scenario where I have a Timer under an owner and a ProgressBar somewhere under an adjacent owner, what's the best way to connect them?Currently I have the Timer Owner emit a signal on a "tick" (process tick or a custom tick time defined by an onready timer) that carries the Timer's time_left with it, PBar Owner has a function that is then connected to this signal and updates the progress bar. Is that the best way to go about it?
>>487573760That's not thread culture. That's nodev culture.
>>487572441I'm not good at names but I can recognize styles and a lot of the games posted in the last couple years.
>>487574251>forgot picrip my 99 years of hard work in drawio
>>487574237Artists will jump at rev shares if they think your game will make a lot of money, which is scammy and exploitative on their part. It’s just always best to pay cash
>>487572769You mean, your game is doing well?just means the artist is seven more vested in its success. The artist is doing the hard part anyway, unless your game design really is good.
>>487574498Yeah, signal is fine. You can also pass the ProgressBar a reference/NodePath to the Timer, or if this is a single encapsulated scene, you can use "Access by Unique Name"
I'm considering making jumping a stamina free action to make aerial enemies and traversal less of a nuisance
>>487574781Timer Owner and PBar Owner are two seperate scenes, so I guess signal is the best way to go about it.Great diagram too, thanks.
when you make a demo are you supposed to create a duplicate of your project (idk if you can do that with github) and rip out all the non demo stuff
>>487574498If it's all a UI system you put a script at the top level which all functions and signals connect to, that's how I do it.if you want it to interact with other systems my event manager does that.
>>487574064>bullet hellNot for me >>487575313Nah just set it to demo mode with a bool
>>487575432so I have to add an is_demo variable to all of my scripts... and all of their functions.
>>487574813For combat that would be weird if having to constantly jump didn't make combat harder.For traversal remember that there is always the option to have different stamina cost between "cruise" and "combat".I remember a few games making stuff like sprinting free when not in combat, so you could travel easily but without being able to kite forever.
I wish you a productive day
>>487574571Wanting some kind of remuneration and not just doing it for free is scammy and exploitative?? just lol
>>487575536Might as well. It's good practice for polymorphism
>>487575739Thank you!
>>487575861>”it’s best to pay cash”>”SO YOURE SAYING I SHOULD WORK FOR FREE???”Do you have a legitimate mental disability? Artfag retard
>>487570013get rid of the blink before entering aiming mode, it's very distracting.
>>487575618That would hurt my suspension of disbelief a little bit but so would the free jumping. I think I'll add more ladders in the game to cut down on the amount of costly "hops" that the player must make, so they can spend it bit more time sprinting, and out of exhaustion mode
>>487575861Its probably more opportunistic I guess. But if you've been working on a game for 3 years and then you engage an artist to polish it up and they're like 'yeh I want uh... half' then I can see why you wouldn't take kindly to that. Though if you haven't already got thousands of wishlists then the artfag might just be retarded.
>>487567850im sorry but i don't like itlooks like mobile game crossed with corporate powerpoint presentation
>>487571073Ugly
>>487576289For the modal indie game, revshare doesn't make sense. They should expect pocket change from that, and should prioritize getting paid up front.
>>487574813Warframe has it for free and the movement hasn't been topped yet.
i forgot how to upload a build to steam
>>487575313>>487575432>modder changes one (1) bool flag in your demo>gets the entire game for freeit's better to build from a new project that only has what the player should see

>>487578023Dammit.
>>487578023Crab.
>>487575432>Not for meI can understand that, but imo games with fewer, faster moving bullets are on average less fun than elaborate patterns of lots of slower moving bullets - and the stg industry moved in that direction for good reason, not because they were a bigger challenge.
>gf made steak again
>>487577875I set up a jenkins server to build and upload my game so I don't have to remember how to upload a build to steamYou can start here and read the docs to figure out how to upload to steamhttps://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk
>>487579472>tfw made a whole can of candy but no gf to share it with
>>487579641idk what that is, im just gonna have to do it the hard way every time.
>>487579840Basically, I only have to click those two play buttons to build and deploy to steam. Took me about 2 days to set up, but I'm used to using jenkins from my former day jobs. If you don't want to go to that effort (understandable) I'd recommend just writing down each of the steps you take as you take them so that you can simply follow your own instructions next time. You could also make a script to do it if you know how.
>>487580389the first step i should do is make a business steam account and figure out if i can transfer my game rights over to that...it logs me out of my personal account when i log into the SDK.
>>487579659One day, Anon. One day.
How many wishlists are good for you? Considering the demo
>>487580746i have 51 wishlist atm (after 2 or 3 unwishlists)

i've finally accepted that i make games for the fun of it, not for any delusion of monetary success. the fun comes from trying new things and exploring new ways of making games.this is why i am, and will always be a project hopper CHAD.
Making games is so tiring. And if I take a 2 or 3 days break I feel like my release date moves a whole month ahead.
>>487585015>t.
>GTA 3 but it's Mad Max
>>487572769>immediately regretted itWhy? Because then you wouldve gotten all the art for free instead of paying out of pocket? I'd likely never do revshare if I started off with contracting them. Not about slice up the pie further when I already have Steam and the government taking large chunks themselves >>487575861Anon they're getting paid and want to upgrade to revshare, if anything the artist is being scammy and exploitative (alternnatively opportunistic, which is the same as anon doing that to them when they suspect the game is going to be a flop) trying to increase their pay by tricking the dev into rev share. 10% rev share is better than $1000 for all the art if the game so much as gets $10,001 in revenue, which is equivalent to somewhere around 32 - 40 reviews on a $14.99 game. >>487576289This. Working on it for years, only to upgrade the art at the end and getting asked for a large cut feels like a slap in the face. Although idk why you'd tell the artist the wishlist count.
I'm sooooo tempted to ban USA so you trannoids won't play my game and turn my fanbase into communist, fauci-worshipping, freakazoids, but you guys have the most money compared to everyone else on earth. No other country has the same drive to throw away money like you niggers. Absolutely insane purchasing power.
>>487575313No github here but that's the plan. Copy and paste the folder to a safe location that has the whope game. Open up engine, manually remove all content to keep prying eyes/modders away from looking at unreleased content/playing with it. Easiest way imho >>487576030I wish a girl would look at me like this>>487583974Same but white Latina, eastern Euro, or Japanese/Korean
I revshare because I want the artist to enjoy all that money we will be making
>>487585829rent free thirdie
>>487574251stop using oop and you wont have these retarded problems ever again
I had a dream my game made 100k
>>487585943I revshare because it means I get practically free art for the games I sell (very cheaply) to my main publishing company.

I feel like the more time I spend improving/polishing my art skills, the more I forget what it takes to make a fun game. It's like somehow spending too much time absorbed in art changes my brain structure in a way that makes it less compatible with programming fun gameplay systems. Has anyone experienced something similar?
>>487592268>>487592268I'm starting to unironically get a little rush when I break everything and there's that pit in my stomach that I'll never fix it but you just have to hop over the pit like it's Prince of Persia and the answer is always just around the next corner
>>487592203it's fine for a first game, sheesh. imagine how crushing it is for omnigon to still be hanging below 10 review at his fourth game.
>>487589460I made this guy once upon a time, you better believe I'm good.
>>487592673Nope. Sorry.
>>487592673it's probably a combination of your mind actually adapting to an entirely different value and skill system for a seperate discipline which naturally puts a different eessence into the project but also the idea that you are permanenctly altering yourself is mere insecurity you just have to dive into puzzle, system, action design AGAIN after you improve your art skills, everything in your past effects your future but nothing in the future can't be changed
>>487592673No, when I program I get square-brained and the worse at art I get.

>>487594317Sounds like a skill issue. There's nothing wrong with using a base game with good mod support as an "engine" , lots of fantastic games have been made that way. If you want to learn to make things from the ground up, the classic way, you have to put in the time. It's a discipline. It's hard to make a pretty game, that's also a discipline.There's nothing wrong with using premade assets as long as its legal. Better yet if you can still process them and use filters, lighting, shaders, etc effectively
>>487595443I thought it was Dr. Mario at first, this is pretty cool. Is the 5th block guaranteed to be an eraser?

>>487597432No I'm no in US. Aren't they much more professional there? I called the certified service of the brand. It wasn't even a random business. The girl on the phone told me they can come either wednesday or thursday. I said I'm available on wednesday. No she said wednesday or thursday, I thought we were scheduling a day and time slot. She got angry that I didn't understand it lol. Luckily I was calm that day, didn't make a fuss about it. I thought they were more professional business. Who the fuck can wait for two days. Anyways, they didn't call and I didn't feel like calling them either. >the pc really heats up the room.Exactly what I'm going through. I tried moving the pc to the living room but it doesn't help. It gets too hot that I can't even think. Also it's too humid too. I can't even breathe. I bought a dehumidifier. Of course being the loser that I am, the device wasn't very effective. Because it gives the hot air back into the room. Now the humidity is lower but it's getting hotter. Also it's a small device so it's not very quick. Clearly it's meant for some other use. I wasted money on that too.Nothing is going well. I am severely depressed so sometimes I don't even act on fixing things in my life. But this time I did try multiple times and things just don't work out, the backlash becomes stronger. I literally couldn't get out of the bed today. I felt totally exhausted from the moment I woke up.

>>487597965when i was in high school, some of my teachers said something similar whenever i would fail a test. so then i started studying really really hard, going in early, and doing as much extra credit as i could, so that the next time there was a test, i would still fail.

Fuck it, I made a drawing in Paint.Anyone dealt with ballistic before and could help a mathlet? I need to find the proper gun elevation/angle, while knowing all other parameters (vertical distance, horizontal distance, projectile speed, gravity).Internet gave the formula for flat terrain easily, but I'm struggling with the one for non-null vertical distance. The trajectory became asymmetrical and it's fucking the simplicity of the situation hard.

>>487600562>I need to exclude the end point from calculationsI don't understand why you would do that, that means you have to work off assumptions and estimates. Lacking target elevation and distance just gimps you out of any ballistic targeting calculations I can reasonably think of.Your best bet is probably zeroing and let it be somewhat skill based. I don't know if that falls under your end point requirements as the target is an imaginary point x distance from the camera that the gun could aim towards.Or you could draw the expected trajectory directly from the muzzle of your gun, that way you don't have to bother too much with camera aim as long the camera sees the curve.Alternatively, shoot from the camera with graphic showing it shot from the gun.Thank you for reading my shower thought ramble.
>>487606471What’s cyan dev?

Why is mr. Blow quoting with meme arrows?
>>487606030but would doom have done as well if it didn't have him on the cover?
So for roguelites, obviously you need enough items for the player to think there's a variety, but not too many that it becomes diluted. What's a good target number then? 20? 40?
>>487606849Buy my game.
>>487606791he would get one if he made his gamewhat girl would wanna date a nodev
>>487606849He's an old man. Way back during the early days of the internet, the arrow was the universal method for defining quotation.
>>487605059This is a pretty common mechanics question iirc. Isn't it literally just this?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=bqYtNrhdDAY
>>487605421out of ten!!!
>he paid 1000$ + tax for a .jpeg
>>487606967Mechanical variety is more important than the number30 items that only differ in stats might as well be 1 item
>>487605057Wanna go to sleep together and report in the morning?
>>487607095> what girl would wanna date a nodevAll of them?
>>487606967As always it DEPENDS on the game. If you're diluting the pool of items with generic shit like +20% damage then you need more. With a small pool all items need to be unique, meaningful and potentially build defining.That recent game that was posted, Galaia, only had like 30 items and most of them were boring shit. That's an example of how NOT to do it.
>>487606967Diluted is irrelevant if you can tweak item rarity and spawn chance. Also item tiers that scale with how far along you are
>>487607141is this old man behavior? looks like something a 20 year old would say on /pol/
>>487607095We've been over this most top tier indie devs had a girlfriend before making their game. It's the opposite that's the exception.

>>487607580maybe he's just based. I know hard to comprehend in the troon-dominated game dev industry
>>487606967Look at Spelunky. There aren't a huge range of items in that game but most of them are pretty meaningful. Spelunky isn't supposed to be an overly complicated game and it's more about reaction time and skill than managing your items and build, so it makes sense.

I think all of you silly goons fail to realize what a remarkable thing it is to finish a good quality game.No, it doesn't matter how much it sells the first week or the first month or even the first year. After that game is done it's done. You are a completely different person now. This isn't like doing musician gigs or doing your third junior engineer internship. This is something that no one can take away from you ever again. You are a human with a finished good game. The game is yours forever. You can sell it forever. It will be good forever. This isn't an accomplishement that slowly drains away from you. This is an accomplishment that stays with you for life, because it's not something just anyone can do, and you should wear it as a badge of honour, because it shows your immense skill, determination, and vision - things that most people do not have and only dream of
>>487608185Identifying a problem is the first step towards solving it.
>>487607995I always go into these being prepared for Jon to say some dumbass shit, but then he actually just speaks the truth.If he accepts moving on from the golden age of indies and that shit is going to be harder now, maybe he can make a better game than his previous games.
Is opening the game by default on your main monitor and having windowed mode if you want to drag it fine behavior for multimonitor?
>>487607995>>487608674I'm pretty sure 2024 Jon would disagree with this sentiment. He said something recently about regretting working so hard for nothing.
>>487606687Because there is a huge leap when you dont pointing exactly at the target but near it if you use raycast as the endpoint and the gun as the start>Alternatively, shoot from the camera with graphic showing it shot from the gunThis is what Im thinking of but with some adjasments if the target is too close and faking it is too obvious
>>487608427Always knew that idea guys were the smartest ones here
>>487568725i had an idea recently of making a short anthology game adapting some of my childhood nightmares
>>487608837>what is shift+win+arrowkeysBut also a competent dev would have a selection in the settings. Though 99% of the time detecting the primary monitor is enough.
>>487609435bruh, 99% of indie devs don't have this support. those competent AAA devs have the time budget to implement random lowly settings I don't have.

>>487610391I'm not keen on implementing stuff I can't test.
>>487609152>Because there is a huge leapAh yeah that makes sense, then what about a targeting system? (autoaim)If the raycast precision is the issue there are better ways to solve it than make magic bullets that feel janky.

>>487611319Gabe was lean when he originally founded Valve. It was during the stress of developing Half-Life and Half-Life 2 that he a lot of gained weight.
>>487612813Actually it was because he installed a snack bar at their office full of addictive poison shaped like big pink cookies.
>>487597427I'm pretty sure I've seen this before but without the bending, it just aims towards whatever the first thing the crosshairs collides with. It would be cool if it was missiles, like commanding laser-guided missile launchers.
>>487611587If you wanna lose fat eat carnivore.
>>487612254I understand the hatred towards nodevs now. The fact that someone like this would have the audacity to call themselves a developer makes me actually seethe with hatred. Then I remember they will never actually release a game and I don’t care anymore
Marnix won't like having me as an enemy, but he should have thought twice about trying to use me. Oops. :)
>>487613307That's the spirit.
>>487613230Is dairy allowed on carnivore? Eggs? Cheese? Milk? Eating plain chicken and steak sounds miserable but I guess it’s better than dying early from obesity kek
>>487608427I live this quote. Not only it's attributed to several people, but it works the same as the dunning kruger effect.
>>487612593No offence fren just telling that autoaim is out of options>>487613046Already explained why it doesnt suit me here >>487609152 but missiles indeed could work like that
>>487613387I don't think you need to go THAT far but in general heavily limiting carb intake is the main squeeze Don't go and eat a ton of super buttery or greasy food either but carbs on carbs are the killer for a lot of people
>>487603685Agreed it's become so trendy to have a female mc that it's become a turn off. Only 1 out of my 4 characters is a woman, and her abilities are evasive not offensive, also she's slut
>>487613598>Already explained why it doesnt suit me hereBut developers do it anyway because usually bending bullets look even worse.
I'm heavily limiting crab intake right now
>>487603685I picked mosca and sarah cause their more recognizable imo but I won't deny I prefer drawing women
>>487613357Please have sex
>>487613387Proteins give you fullness and can give you energy if you need it. If you avoid carbs and sugar and focus on proteins then you get less fat, simple as. Lately I've been trying stuff like>chicken caesar salad>replacing any sort of chocolate or regular snacks with nuts>if you really do need sugar, just have fruit>vegetables can replace carbs, so if you eat rice you can have rice + peas insteadBiggest thing I've been cutting down on is bread and pastries. Other than that, just trying to put less rice in the rice cooker.I went on a diet once before where I went hard on just eating plates full of leaves and it left me weaker and actually getting ill for once, so I stopped. This time around I'm feeling much better.
I initially planned each world to have essentially limited gameplay where you conquer a dimension then you move on to the next but it feels like such a loss with some of them, I think I'll let players (and myself) revisit their favorite ones over and over but I still need to iron out the lack of determinism in the world seeds.
>>487613894And so my qustion is can I bend them without player noticing it and if so does someone already implemented it somewhere?
>>487613387No carbs. The strictest form of it is water, meat, eggs, salt and butter (ofc real butter none of that fake shit). Animal fat is great for cooking if you can get your hands on it. Spices can be used if you're not interested in testing if it can heal whatever health issues you have aside from being fat. I went into it hoping to heal my eczema that's a whole other topic that I won't go into here but lost 15kg in about 2 months. It's surprising but you actually get used to eating plain meat. It tasted really good when I was hungry and very quickly started tasting wrong when I had eaten enough. It resets your senses like that. Best thing is that you don't need to count calories or any of that shit. You eat until you don't want to eat more.I recommend slowly easing into the diet. You tend to get strong diarrhea if you go 0 to 100. Your body needs some time to adapt to the increased amount of protein. It might also help to divide it into multiple meals as that might help your body get used to it. Once you're used to it you mainly need to pay attention to how much fat you're eating. If you're shitting dry hard logs you need more fat. If it's too loose you need less fat. >>487613661It's much easier to cut out carbs entirely than restrict yourself to a low amount as they're to sort of thing you can just keep eating and you don't really feel sated until your stomach is so full it can't take any more. That's basically why people get fat. When you have no carbs in the house you can't eat any.
>>487614885Forgot to add that it's normal to take shits way less often once you're eating carnivore. Body uses up most of the meat you eat so there's just no need to go so often.
>>487614885>When you have no carbs in the house you can't eat any.Yeah, that's good advice.Despite giving such advice, I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum; 6'3 and 146lbs. I exercise fairly often and eat a relatively large amount of food, so my doctor says that since there's nothing actually wrong with me anywhere it's probably just the way I'm shaped. Still, I'd like to get it up a tiny bit, so I've been eating more protein than usual
>>487614504>essentially limited gameplay where you conquer a dimensionah yes, the most limited form of gameplay
>>487614736So far it doesn't seem like anyone's seen it, so try for yourself. It can't be too hard, just a bit of maths. I'd personally make its velocity towards the crosshair's firing vector lerp or diminish over time rather than have it be a sudden hard turn but you could try different methods.It may just be that it triggers AAA studios going for hyperrealism but it'd be cool on an indie.

I try to keep the code clean, but once again I had to do some bullshit to make this work properly.
>>487613230>>487613387>>487614448>>487614885This is a guaranteed way to feel like shit, did the protein and leaf thing b4 and it simply does not produce anywhere near the amount or rate of energy as eating carbs. Simply cut out sugar water and bread, that will fix like 90% of you americans.
>>487606886Doomguy was supposed to be a blank insert according to Romero.Only by 2016 did the series started to make a deal about the protagonist and it's because Doom fans are stills seething over Death Battle.
>>487615958Honestly you failing to gain weight could also be related to what you eat. Carnivore is great if you wanna build muscle.
I almost declined P4ND4's coloration, until I saw it fully shaded. Casual reminder to always let your artist complete their vision before you make a final decision on the matter!

I'm gonna be honest, every single post I've made in this general has been pure fiction hand crafted to make (YOU) seethe.

>>487616820Wow. Those 30 lines of code are impressive anon. And all of that in only one month? This is the right path, keep it up champ’.
>>487617473Same here
>>487616086Indeed it isnt hard and I will try it when will get a free time (in september maybe)Well ofcourse I will add some lerping but not too muchThe problem is manually adjusting the trajectory in tick would ruin performance dramatically for machineguns and similar so I need to make bullets to switch to flying on inertia only in not so much frames
>4chan simulator>different builds include incel,tranny,nazi,boomer,schizo>have to generate as many seethe points as possible in a thread

The grind continues...>>487616970Yeah. Also, since meat is pretty expensive, I've been awoken to beans. Have since brand every day now, all different kinds and they're awesome

>>487618981why do you guys want everyone to be a tranny soooo bad?
>>487619084Notes should be taken on pen and paper, anything you type onto a screen is useless garbage. You need a physical paper checklist and you need to physically check each thing off with a pen for your brain to reward you correctly
>>487618486>truste me bro xD Look at those two UI buttons I made :D:DI’d rather trust myself and my 20 000 lines of actual, working code.
Made a proof of concept for the interaction system "free" mode, hold E and you interact with the cursor instead of the screen center. Still need a way to hide the mouse cursor while keeping it clean like the system cursor movement

>>487616942you're saying basically what I just said anonI went hard on leaves before and felt like shitthis time I'm focusing mostly on cutting out sugar and carbs and putting in protein or fiber whereever possible>>487618119Unless you have a lot of combatants firing like this, or you're firing thousands a second, it shouldn't be a problem really. I can't imagine it being that bad at all.
Steam Demos can now have a dedicated store page, allowing separate reviews, trailers, and to appear on the front page. Demo release will also trigger wishlist notifications.
>>487617001based sexo
>>487606967For me, I'm having a variety of weapon types, such as daggers, axes, maces, etc. They would all have a certain characteristic, such as daggers being fast and dual wielding, maces having a chance to stun, that sort of thing. You might have 1h or 2h versions, or perhaps different materials.RLs are more about meaningful choices and have a distinct feeling compared to ARPGs dumping lots of random mods on items>>487607883I'd argue that Spelunky (classic) has very little to worry about reaction time. A lot of bad shit that happens is due to players moving too quickly or misjudging what they can do. If you move methodically you can almost never die (but that's no fun).
2nd cakebros... our work will be worth it, right?
>>487621848My cake is way better.
I'm moving a sprite from code in Godot by simple setting the Position vector, and instead of just moving slightly it goes completely ballistic and flies away. Setting it to a value once works well, but gradually setting the position bit by bit makes it fly. Is this something to do with physics or what the fuck is happening, I just want to move it to a specific point on screen
>>487621391Source? If true, I guess /agdg/ won't be able to complain about prologues being cheating anymore.It did feel weird how demos couldn't have reviews.
>>487622095>Is this something to do with physics or what the fuck is happeningYou're probably just doing it wrong, post your movement code
>>487619970So I will need some raycast check to prevent cornerscumming or give up before even trying...Do I need to read your Poe manga from right to left or not?

I can't imagine it being that bad at all.Shartreal gives me performance issues even with 500 ticking actors
>>487621749>If you move methodicallyThe ghost exists and a lot of enemies and traps force you to move fast. You can think ahead and determine that the monkey will jump at you and has a chance of knocking you unconscious above a spike pit but then you have to actually dodge it or jump over it or use your limited resources (and then actually hit with your limited resources) or find shit to throw and then once again, execution. It's fine that most enemies don't chase you all over the map, it somehow works really well in hopping between "carefully planning ahead" and "oh shit think fast"

>https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/4155211502162971562>Demos now behave more like free games and can appear in all the same sections and lists. For example, demos can now appear on the Steam homepage in charts such as the "New & Trending", on the "New on Steam" page, and on relevant tag and category pages. This means that launching a new free demo for your game will behave similarly as launching a free stand-alone game on Steam.NOOOOOOOOI now regret having released my demo page before this.
>>487621391>>487623689>have to get 7,000 wishlists before you release your demothank you gaben you are my greatest ally
I am going to buy and review every /agdg/ game and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop me.
>>487622512Just give the guys a bigger hitbox the camera can use to get a distance, jesus.
>>487623689>>487623864is that the same 100$ as your actual game page or is this that thing that everyone was already doing where they were paying the extra 100$ to publish their demos?
>>487623864Yeah, I'm not quite sure I'm getting this. What if your wishlists are evenly split between the demo and home page? Does that mean neither would end up in new and trending if the halved amount isn't enough?
>>487624097You basically get an additional page for free for your demo so you don't have to buy an extra page for "My Game: The Prologue" with the obvious benefit of having only 1 wishlist.
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: City tile stuff.
>>487624278doesn't wishlisting the demo just automatically redirect to wishlisting the actual game?
>>487622623Oh yes the ghost, forgot about that. I suppose people playing for score will run out the timer and try to convert all the gems into diamonds. Kind of a neat mechanic really.

hey boku, turn your demo into a steam page.... hehehe... i dare ya...
>>487623921Not a bad idea tbdesuThe problems are how big? Do I need to scale them woth player distance? And what would happen in line of sight overlaping cases?Or maybe I should go further and store an array of vectors to potential targets and compare them to camera direction?And here again we almost met the autoaim bullshitery its so over
If your demo doesn't have at least 200 reviews by now it's probably safe to say that throwing in the towel is optimal.

>>487625171We're in a highly competitive market right now where you're not competing based on quality as much as you are competing purely for the limited attention of people. If your game has minus 50 reviews that's still some good numbers
someone post the unlisted marnix youtube stream
>>487625491Is it possible to make in-game animated cutscenes that could also be taken out of the game and be combined into one good and cohesive episode?

its called your dream game because all the development happens when ya'll are sleeping!
Plog: made progress on E1M2 for Cult of Duty 4. It takes about 3 minutes to 100% right now, but I'm hoping to extend it a bit more and make it take about 5. I've been using a much smaller world space for this level in order to force myself to become more proactive about adding verticality to my levels, and I'm also trying to incorporate nonlinear paths a bit more.Thanks for reading my plog (my progress blog.)
>>487624694Right now it'd be:>A semi-open world, optionally multiplayer, settlement-builder based in the real world where you buy a plot of land and build a house, garden, pasture, workshop, etc, on it using realistic skill and resource requirements, so that players can live out their dream of quitting their job to start a commune with friends and family.Bonus points if it's realistic enough to teach basic homesteading skills, like how to get rid of aphids on your crops, how to build a water wheel, etc.
>>487624694Porn game but with gf
>>487626507>>487626584t-thanks
>>487627118So fucking true. After I release the 10 games I have planned to make before it, I would have made so much money that I would just be able to completely fund the game that I spent all that time designing during my rest hours. It's a home run!

My last hope is beating him to the release. It's possible his game might take another 2 years so I might have a fighting chance
>>487628663>He doesn’t get it.Maybe there are some things that make the best programmers productive, that they very often use, that you didn’t think about.
>>487629075you know multiple games that are similar can exist at the same time, right?
>>487627752My game is one line of code.
>>487629225Same because I don't use linebreaks
>>487629075Snooze ya loseBetter start working harder anon
>>487629217One of my game's greatest advantages was that the genre is as empty as a baby cradle in a millenial's apartment. I still have about 2-3 advantages but I can feel the fire getting closer
who else /ecs/ here
>>487627752Cherry picked examples, so tiresome. There is no correlation between loc and game quality
>>487627752Damn if only those games had twice as many lines of code, that would have made them twice as more goodlier
>>487629391If the game is good and you advertise I'm sure you'll be fine.
>>487570013this seems like a 1 week prototype, what are you talking about? essentially, you should be answering this, not us. what are your objectives with the design? what are you trying to produce? only knowing that will you be able to judge if you hit the target or not, and if you don't hit it, iterate on it. the design process is like that. how many iterations do you have? what problems have you fixed, and what are the ones you still get? we wouldn't be able to answer any of that... but you can.
Programming doesn’t matter. It is literally the least important part of making a game. Art and game design are far more important.
>>487629819we know
Puzzling out which part of your game is "least important" is a nodev's exercise in procrastination. You should pour your love into every aspect of your game.
Where do you guys hire your level designers?
>>487624694platformer with skimpy lolis
>>487630250I keep them in a cage.
>>487629469Of course there is. Most of the time games are bad in a "I can’t play that more than 10 hours" way is because of poor quality of code, which is often simply lack of lines of code and simplistic mechanics. Including (and more and more so) AAA games desu. Bad art or bad storyline isn’t the same kind of bad. I’m talking about games with actual gameplay mechanics, not VN or shit like that, no offense, it’s fine to do that kind of "games" and you can make money from it, just not my cup of tea.
>>487630165>just focus on everything bro>no, it's not a contradiction at all
>>487596303the time to write and test this code is almost the same it took to write the pseudocode, anon. just test it, you retarded lazy loser. and yes, there is a difference.
