40 to 60 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 350 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 50 games a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2024HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY

I was thinking...wouldn't it be a good strategy to make games based off of steam themed festivals? They announced them pretty far ahead. From their list you could look at it and pick 1, 2, or even 3 games that you could make based on the date of the festivals and the genres. Festivals pretty much grant you free visibility too.

nyah?
>>487737763Without explicitly planning for it, if your game does not fall under several fest categories, your game doesn't have broad appeal and you're NGMI.

Make your game cool and juicy. Stop worrying so much about depth. Make it short, cool, juicy, and give it a unique marketing hook. That's all you need kid
>>487735886It's fine anon. You could maybe do things more efficiently with only two loops.height = nloop 1 - iloop 2 - jAnd then something like If j < (n/2) - i or j == n / 2 then you print air, else you print a block. That's probably not correct but you'll figure it out.

Could go for a burrito right about now
I have a challenge for agdg. Here are the steps.1. Go look for the "WHY YOUR GAME WON'T SUCCEED" kind of video on YouTube2. Check if whoever runs the channel has any releases on Steam3. Take a shot if their latest release is one of the following: a side scrolling roguelike, a deck building game, or a vampire survivors clone4. Go to step 1
>>487743479my fog is just a per pixel shader, it doesnt interact with the world in any way just scrolls and evolves a bit. its multiplied with the light value so you only see the fog where theres light.it's very cheap, removing the fog my fps goes from 490 -> 520.it's done with two 2d fbm noise values, the first value is used as a input coordinate for the second. modulate the first coordinate with the elapsed time and you get it moving and evolving. there are a ton of fog examples on shadertoy you can look at

Why do mobile games succeed using micro transactions but console and pc games succeed using one time purchase? Why are consoomers like this?
Why are gamedevs so enamored with platformers? I don't think they're that easy when you start getting into grace frames, good feeling movement, and the volume of levels you have to make; they don't seem that popular on Steam either.
>>487744759Sorry, but I'd rather work on my game.

>>487745467It’s the lowest skill game you can make besides pong. Of course the average aggydaggy flocks to it
>>487745467I like platformers because they're fun.
>>487745467>I don't think they're that easy when you start getting into grace frames, good feeling movement, and the volume of levels you have to makeGrace frames are easy compared to a lot of other game dev things. Good feeling movement is more about tweaking and a lot of people don't have the patience for that, or don't want to appreciate that it's a process rather than just a thing you can do. The volume of levels you're right about, but that extends beyond just platformers. They're popular on steam in terms of number of games, but not in terms of sales, which is a really important thing to know if you want to make money.
>>487745509Good. Keep working unless your game is one of those I'd previously listed.
>>487744759I have a challenge for you anon1. Go look for the "How to do THING in X game engine or dcc software" kind of video on YouTube2. Check if whoever runs the channel has any releases on Steam or any game industry experience whatsoever3. Take a shot when they don't4. Go to step 1

It's simply astounding how people would endlessly humiliate themselves to defend archtower because it's part of the in-group but then those same people turn around and molest some of the best games in this general just because that's the current trend
>>487750019>some of the best games in this generalLike?
>>487750019I don't trust the judgment of devs who praise games like Archtower, Cult of Damascus, (A)woken, etc. It's just as simple as that.

>>487751104Yes, why not?
>>487751104No. Archtower doesn't interest me, but it's weird as fuck that you go out of your way to hate on it. "You wouldn't care if it wasn't agdg" applies to the Archtower haters just as much as the Archtower apologists.

>>487751104I can't buy anything, I'm saving so I can afford the Steam submission fee.
>>487751104yeah, I would
What's with these generic ass names? Archtower, really? What game even is that?
>>487752024So you bought it right? It’s in your steam library right now? You wouldn’t just say you’d buy something and then not buy it right? Oh wait..

>>4877454671) Platformer base mechanics are easy to code.2) Most devs grew up playing Nintendo consoles, which due to the above, had a disproportionate amount of platformers.
>>487752309It’s actually internally called cucktower, steam auto censored the name on release
>archtowerkiddies once again utterly humiliate themselves
>>487752358these good, where did you find them?
Game idea: detective game done in a top-down perspective like Hotline Miami. Basically a John Dickson Carr novel where you can see how the murder scenes are set up.
>>487752634So you bought it right? It’s in your steam library right now? You wouldn’t just say you’d buy something and then not buy it right? Oh wait..
>>487748016Was this in demoday? It doesn't ring a bell to me.
>>487752196Not sure if I played enough hours to say I like Archtower, but I really like it!
so those 70 reviews on archtower are just all the aggydaggies feeling bad for it?
>>487752845Just got back from the idea assessor shop, he said your game idea is worth: $0.00
>62645I'm not gonna make it bros...
>>487752926yep, for sure
>>487752845why does aggydaggy have like 120 new detective game ideas per week but only 1-2 actual detective games?
>>487745467They're the most dynamic type of video game. You can do simulation, rhythm, roleplay, action and immersion all in one if you want to. The other genres feel constrained to me by comparison. Also, 2D platformers in particular are admittedly the easiest way to get an immersive virtual world going on, most of what you can do in 3D can be backported to some extent, so it's not surprising indies tend to choose it over the 3D equivalents.
>>487752924>Vlad learns how to use inspect elementI’m very proud of you comrade, now make me some borscht
I hate how we have to teach players how to use a new mechanic every time we introduce one or else they have a melty. Especially when it's in combat and they can't stand losing a single time just to figure out how things work. how gay and retarded such a thing is.
POST YOUR GAME.I, the fair and noble anon, will judge your worthiness. This is not a request, nor a demand. It is an order.
>>487753156Because detective games are both hard to write and don't sell. That's why I'm trying to come up with a new spin on the genre.

>>487758141I like (a)woken. Egg chef wasn't really my cup of tea though.
>>487757912im doing flashlights different from other survival horrors by having it be a AI kinda like navi from zelda but you can command it on input to stay still when you dont want light and press the input again to have it follow you. Will admit unity is fucking annoying getting URP shadows on anything not a directional light idk why the engine is stopping me from having shadows on non-directional lights here bokube doesn't do that even with older unity verisons.

>>487758145Needs a trailer, even if it's a temp one. Second gif is a little weird with the wraith. People don't care about the collectables unless it's made to be like Banjo, show cool gameplay stuff for movement. The cover art's text needs a better background to show it off more, and maybe the MC in it somehow either as the normal model or a drawn art. Since the cover art right now doesn't showcase what game it is.
>finally have all the pieces for a semi-representative-of-the-final-product combat>was expecting ranged troops to be overpowered and need a bunch of mechanics specifically to make them less strong>melee absolutely crush them, even without cover and lower numbersFug.(Better version of webm related: https://files.catbox.moe/1nnilc.webm)This was 4000 ranged vs 2x400 melee. At equal number melee win with less than 1/4 losses.All units have the same health/damage/attack speed.Difference is purely on basic attacks (1m-radius AoE around the caster for melee, 0.25m-radius projectile for ranged)Main problem (I think) is that I decided against having murderballs, so units do body-block each others' shots. Meanwhile melee have a small cleave and even have enough "range" that someone in the second rank can hit something at the front through the first rank.I'm also pretty sure the chaos of the frontline on the melee side mean damages are actually spread more or less equally between everyone, while ranged at the frontline get picked one by one due to being static.I can make the slaughter slightly less one-sided by increasing the ranged's formation spacing, but they still lose by a lot - so the cleave isn't the sole culprit and reduced bodyblocking won't solve everything either.From quick testing the only easy "balance" is too increase everyone DPS to the point that most melee get killed before reaching their target. In that situation they still win if the fight start in melee range. This was kinda what I wanted for balance, but that mean having time-to-kill that are a magnitude faster than I wanted. My first guess would be to rewrite melee collisions to deal decreased damage on multiple target, maybe even going decrescendo based on distance order so that hitting "through" an ally already take away most of your damage. Or just embrace the situation and make ranged more of a fragile support thing.Fuck, I didn't expect to have significant balances issues this early.
>>487758850by cover you mean the small headers right
Nolgorb's Ordeal is seriously one of maybe 2-3 current games here which I can honestly call GMI-tier. He just really needs to learn marketing the poor fucker
>>487758909To be fair, your ranged units should be vulnerable, this necessitating keeping them safe with tanker units in front, no?
>>487759184>le marketingWhen will you people learn that marketing doesn't work for shit games?

>>487759686He is good at presentation and nothing else. That's not enough for a game to be successful.
Well gentlemen, after several attempts i have come to the conclusion that i am not capable to be a developer, i throw the towel, good luck to you all.

Enemies will hear gunshots from a configurable distance away (some guns are louder than others) and will go to investigate. Also added a slight timeout, so enemies must "see" the player for 500ms before they recognize the player. This prevents them from stopping at shooting halfway around the corner

>>487759439They should, but right now they are frankly useless. The combo "big squad + no murderball" mean their firepower is gutted way more than I expected (circumference vs surface) even against a target that's not fighting back/busy.That's honestly the biggest problem, them getting butt-raped by melee is a secondary concern. Maybe I should allow murderball and let shots pass through ally, dunno.>>487760551Meh, there must be a Total War mod that does that already.At worse the game does support hollow square formation so you can do some pike&shot style stuff, or long firing lines.Pretty sure I could jury-rig a vaguely decent Napoelonic-ish side mission by restricting which formation & units are available. Although all artillery is out-of-map and I don't really have cavalry beyond faster melee units, so that would be far from interesting.
>>487762474why would I play your game when I could be gooning instead?
>>487762315I like the silly artstyle.Please for the love of god don't do like the previous two FPS projects and crank up headbob & leaning to 11.

>>487761558thank you.The process is agonizing; I don't understand how career programmers do it.For me at least, I'm not trying to market any of my dev skills, it's all 100% for personal use. So the outside pressure isn't there

>>487775761heh, we could already do this a while back with ip-adapter, I guess the new technique is a little bit better thorecently I tested the 3D stuff and although they are not even close to usable, the multi-view pre-processing pass they require is more interesting, as you could draw/generate a single 2D view and get a maybe good or maybe shit 6 or more views.anyway biggest problem with every model I've tried to make textures can't make a proper diffuse textures for characters without baking in light/shadows etc which inevitably makes it obvious that it is AI + looks like shit
>>487774026>california is all leftists and ecoterrorists and liberals>yet they purposefully live in the middle of the desert to drain as much energy as possible cooling their homes and heating the streetsMost people here seem fine with the heat, and instead we have gas pipelines to fuel boilers that heat homes (which also prevents pipes from freezing and bursting) but for true iceage cavemen like myself, I fucking hate it here. I'm going to move further up north. The further north you go the less sun-darkened people you'll see, too, so that's a plus.
>>487776172Me too. Somewhere out of the city. Single house on a fairly large land with pool would be nice.>>487776907Also this. It needs maintenance and stuff like that.

>>487777801>>487775761I remember animators complaining using motion capture data because they have to do a lot of cleaning up, instead they could literally animate things realistically by hand. I think this ai stuff is going to be like that. Instead of prompting ai stuff to draw/model you can prompt it to the modeller/animator. They can use a store bought model as a starting point and edit it according to your desire.I understand this will remove the need to find a modeller/animator but this also requires so much computation power, I belive to the point where hiring someone might be even more cost effective.
this is boyos, what we implementing today?
>>487776172I love the idea of my game making it, of seeing YouTubers making guides about it, speedrunners break it and twitch streamers sucking at it, I wanna see a reddit page full of memes and the steam threads full of idiots arguing about nothing...

>>487784920This guy is clueless. He picks a game as an example and then works backward from what the developer is skilled at to what's needed for the game. Stardew Valley doesn't require maxxed out programming skills. Omori doesn't require a world class artist.What all the games he listed require is luck, as in the developer stumbling onto the right concept at the right time and getting viral traction, usually by luck as well. There is no method to making another Stardew Valley or Lethal Company tier success. Which is a good thing, otherwise big studios would be pumping out games like that every week.

>>487791431How much of the game is the artist/composer working on?If it's a small part of it, make them clear that you are using it for commercial purposes + pay them through an invoice. If they for some reason wanted to take legal action against you, it wouldn't be worth your time even if you could easily prove it.if it's a large part of your game, have a contract that outlines your usage more clearly. If them throwing a tantrum and trying to pull their work out of your game would make your game collapse under its feet then you're gonna have to be prepared to fight it with clear evidence that they understood what they were getting into.However, unless you need a NDA, you really don't need a long document to show it. If they're okay with signing a long-ass document from a template website then go for it, otherwise you could make a much shorter, simpler and concise form for them to sign.

>>487792397For a small indie like us, you should be paying them a lump sum, higher than they'd normally charge, but with no royalties. You could still find cheaper artists but I'm happy to pay more on artists for it being commercial work becauseA) It's tax deductible from my game's incomeB) It's annoying enough finding artists, if an artist likes the pay and sticks around that's great, artists don't cost much anywaySo there's no contract, but if you do hire someone full-time then usually you get the rights to their work by default without needing a contract.If you're making a contract, it would be because the artist wants to pay you in advance and you want to outline what they need to finish so they can't just half-ass it. I've never really had this been an issue, I've found I can just ask artists to invoice me over paypal, I pay them, they get the work done. The artists are already known figures on social media so they're beholden to do a good job or else they'll get shittalked, in which case you can search an artist and find out if they're a scammer.
added a little visualization of the number of stages on a level, and how far along you are on the current stagegonna work on a tool that lets the player preview targets on future stages, so they can plan out their movement before they start going...also a replay light ball, shows how you moved last attempt. it's always 0.25 seconds ahead, and it jumps ahead when you start a new stage...i wonder if i shouldnt have this light ball on more stages, like a pre-programmed path that the player can follow, maybe thats more fun than trying to solve the path yourself? it's hard for me to judge that since i always know the optimal path to solve a level since i designed it... maybe the pre-programmed path shows a path that might give you a silver medal, but if you want a gold medal you'd have to find a quicker path on your own...? (im asking you please design my game for me)

fuck artfagging
Say for a second you were suddenly a whodev. Now assume you've been posting for months and your game suddenly gained a lot of popularity and are now in the 300 most wishlisted games list. Would you post your game or would you remain a whodev? Socializing with 4chan frens vs just keeping to yourself, which would you pick?
>>487793438thanks...
>>487793654If you wanna keep to yourself after being famous then at least add me as a friend so we'd keep in touch you dork.
>>487793654I don't care.
>>487793565don't give up!
>>487793654I'm not a whodev but I get very little (You)s or useful feedback or anything from this place. I'm here because of shitposting mostly. So I'd just stop posting about my game but I'd still stay here because I got nothing else going on.
>>487792935I see. So your tip is do a contract for artists that will play a big role in the game. And an invoice + detailing this will be for a commercial game, is fine if they will be a minor artist. I guess I was just worried if an artist would backstab me later on and cause legal headache so I wanted to know what the right option is.
>pirate assets or take them from other games>change the shapes a bit in blender>put new textures on them, or change textures so much they're unrecognizable>take music>keep key changes>change melody enough to make it an homage if not unrecognizableIs there anything wrong with this? Surely this wouldn't bite me in the ass? I'm an artlet
>>487794439You can also use store assets that are pretty decent or at least won't be a bottleneck for your game's success
>>487794439worked for palworld
>>487793654I'd post my game even if I were famous.
>>487757507>>487758420So is this true? Didn't you guys get free wishlists just posting the page on here? I know some devs don't really mention there's but I assume some do and get wishlists. How are we so similar in wishlists while I've done even less promoting?
>>487793654I sometimes rarely get mentioned. That much is enough for me :)
>>487793250That’s the whole point. The actual gameplay is shit but he made it look pretty to farm wishlists before releasing to a 50% rating on steam kek

I have done 0 game dev today btw. Progress is slow.
>>487794408It's rare if it does happen. An artist backstabbed the developer of Breeding Season, but>the artist got a lot of flak for doing this from the community>it turns out the developer may not have been paying the artist properly? I'm not sure exactly, but it doesn't sound like they were treated wellif you're planning on posting extreme political shit constantly then maybe you need the extra protection, but cases of artists backstabbing developers is pretty damn rare.Instead, NDAs are the most common form of contract.You should have a record of all your payments anyway for tax purposes so having a record of payment is a very minimal amount of effort and it's really all you need most of the time.

actually, that's a good point, because I'm not published on steam and I'm speaking from coomdev point of view:how often does steam ask you to verify the ownership of your assets? what sorts of documents do they ask for to prove you aren't just copy-pasting shit from google? Do they only take action if someone files a complaint?
>>487795720I would rather find a hidden gem that no one else has gone to see, over popular garbage.
>>487795757Sorry pedo coomdevs are no longer welcome on steam, the biggest coomdev on agdg got perm banned from uploading his game to steam because of his questionable coomtent
>>487795757Nobody asks you to verify anything. How would they know if you made an asset or stole it from somewhere?

>>487810797He misses the factor of luck. You can make a game that's a viral hit in a few months (or weeks) but you can also work 10 years on a game that's "good" but doesn't even earn you the equivalent of a minimum wage.
>>487765746there's someting to dis low effort art style. leaves something to de imagination. quick too make. looks good by eetself. but it looks bad in game u should fix dat
>>487810949There's also a missing factor of the creator having taste. Just like in art or music, many people will never be able to put together a compelling game despite trying for decades, and some are naturally able to throw a quick jam game together that's much more interesting. I think skill has less to do with it than people think. Taste, luck, and timing the market are key. Unfortunate cause you can't really do anything to improve these.

>>487759184This game is terrible anon, good graphics and terrible gameplay, I bet the demo would have an median play time of a measly 5 minutes on Steam
>>487813278for me it's roboto mono
>>487814035you should google only up! and jump king some day. even pirate them and see how much better their "gameplay" is.
>>487815020Only Up has very negative reviews on steam. also, it doesn't look like this at all. Jump King is fine, but I don't think Nolgorb's Ordeal is a similar game. A 3D version of jump king would add so so many problems that the mechanic would work completely differently. This mechanic in 2d is 10 times easier and more fun to play - the third dimension and camera movement change it completely. I really don't think a player who likes Jump King would like this, the gameplay is completely different, even if conceptually it is very close.
>>487815872I said google. this is not the original only up! game. the dev pulled it out and someone hijacked the name. the original sold a fuckton in days thanks to streamers and was a buggy assetflip mess. the point is you may not like nolgorb's nolgorb ordeal(named after himself) but there's a good market for precision platformers.
>>487815872only up isnt on steam so people are upset they bought a fake ripoff of it. Only up was a slightly sad story because it was just assets thrown together with nothing unique at all really. Literal roblox obstacle course tier game
guys look how interesting, steam made a huge update for demos. i got inspired by it and re-activated the demo for my already launched game, just to see if it'd get some traffic. so, almost 300 people played today. You know how many bought the game? FUCKING ZERO! great, i feel so good!
>>487817109Demo units are bots. Show Lifetime unique users (or similar) or don't waste our time

>>487817960nice tomo-like
>>487817582unfortunately, steam doesnt show the lifetime unique users for specific periods, only for the total, but this is the total unique users (the ones who actually downloaded and played the game). life is hard

>>487820596Wrong anon, we must overthrow the delusion of journalists thinking that their time is worth money. That same money could be used to commission music from someone who truly worthwhile, someone whose creation continues to have value regardless of the years that pass. But the articles from journalists, they last for a day at most, eager to replace their writings about your game with the endless stream of coverage about remakes that don't even relay new information. Not only that, but the articles that they do write for indie developers withhold the truth about indie games, that there exists critical bugs that need to be patched before the game can fully release, all because the paid transaction that is a journalist review entails a shallow, positive review and nothing else. The developers who surrendered their money to these journalists, these developers who were so terrified of failure that they paid journalists, they deserve justice. And that justice can only be realized when no developer in this world pays for the services of journalists.

>>487819345Or noses either. Keep that shit simple to be more in line with the rest of the design, like a single triangle.
>simple VNs with cute girl are popularMaybe I just dive into that hole instead
>>487759840i partly wish i gave up when i barely started, sunk cost wasnt that strong back then. it's going to feel worse if 10 years later i still havent succeeded in gamedev. success here meaning a net profit of 50k for every year i dev'd>but anon even 300k is a lot for 10 yearsa lump sum of 300k is nice but neeting for that long im pretty much guaranteed im never having a wife and will have to find other avenues for income since i probably wont have an easy time getting many jobs
>>487766010>the face of the gamepost face, you have to meet a bare minimum threshold of attractiveness and a certain type of beauty as wellt. the guy asking tomo to be the face of my game
>>487822887>neeting for that long im pretty much guaranteed im never having a wife and will have to find other avenues for incomeI feel you, anon. Chasing a dream that was never meant to come true can often end in a really depressing outcome like this, and sad as it is not all of us can make the decision to stop at the right time. I just hope you won't end up a homeless bum, because I almost did. Shit sucks.
>releasing on a friday
>>487817109At least in the previous versions of demos, it looked like almost everybody who visited the page downloaded the demo.
>>487823692his steam page looks really bad
>>487819120I think/know my game will flop and I will make it anyway and it will be good regardless
>>487823692>hes crying on twitter about steam support not replying to him on a friday nightwhat a faggot, he might even get some pity sales out of it too
Hello sirsMy name is Radesh Bonrajji I am from india sirsWe in the Super Serious marketing agency have helped thousands of indie games reach their tru potensial and increase wishlist amauntsI saw your game and was very impressed, you are very GMI sirContact us and make millions of rupees!
>>487823692I'm pretty sure steam tells you not to do this lol
Gachafags always say how male characters will brick your game. What if I need to make male characters for my game because it's a milsim?
>>487822481Is there some list of tags somewhere? What tags exactly should I use to find you for example? I'm not super knowledgeable about music and couldn't pinpoint specific tags for it. Like the only things that would come to mind for my game would be "fantasy, relaxing, strategy" but dunno if those are music tags.
>>487823692Game looks like shit desu
>>487823692>>487824227Friday is objectively the best day to release for maximum exposure since no games are released on weekend, the "newly released page" will have your game for 3 whole days .
>>487824870A combination of #indiegamedev / #indiegame / #indiedev + #vgmcomposer / #gamecomposer should do fine, you can discuss the further details with a composer who might respond.
>>487823692what was the surgery the dev needed before he could continue work on this? twitters doesn't specify
would people still buy a relatively serious TacShooter/MilSim using non-humans that aren't furries like picrel?
>>487825857if the non humans are pigs, yes.
>>487826018why pigs?
>>487825857Why do you waste time asking these questions when you're never going to work on those games? Did you just want to post that pic?
>>487826174Cause pigs are great. You can eat every part of a pighttps://youtu.be/IWFWS9HfPDw?si=NVleX9S_nHmy-7Ax

>>487823692>set game as PG3>has boob and butt that need PG8 at least>make the change 5min before release date>reviewers need to do a full recheck, in case you also "forgot" about that one murder-gangbang scene in Act3>it's friday night>somehow this was totally unavoidable from your sideHow the fuck do you not hysterically check every minute detail 3 months in advance for something has big as finally launching your game.
I should have made an elf game.
>>487826478gonna wear a norb t-shirt and attempt to assassinate the president of earth?
ima make dreams but for pc
>>487823692lol what a retard
>watching some guy's indie dev story >met a guy with similar game and anime tastes on social media >started talking to each other>turns out one was an artist and the other was a programmer>got together to make a game Now I know my biggest problem: spending all my time on anonymous mongolian basket weaving forums for "safe" and low-risk interactions instead of connecting with people like a normal person.
>>487823692Who cares just release the game a few days later. It's early access anyway.
>>487827690There is no context where this scene was necessary
>>487823692Wasn't there a guy some years back that started crying on twitter about his game and then said "I'm Literally Going to Kill Gabe Newell" or something lmao
>>487757916the IK is definitely broken, holy shit. Both 2d and 3d. 3d works but is really limited and buggy when you get weird angles, and 2d, though having a more complete feature set the documentation is worse and it doesn't work at all. Both throw errors out the ass too.Looking at the bug report for 2d IK it seems that it's all because of technical debt started by Google Summer of Code LOL
>>487827583I'll buy it if it has sdf
>>487827902>watch art streamer>go into their discord>lots of artists>i share my games>not an artist but do share my games>become friends with one of those artists>"hey wanna make art for my game?">"yes that sounds fun!"That's how I did it. Long term investment though because I was in that community for like 4 years at that point.
>>487828367>i share my games>not an artist but do share my gamesShit I fucked up
my game is a sad pathetic jokejust like me
>>487828128yeah entirely sdf

Is your game based on what will sell well, or on what you think is fun?
>>487830303My game is based on what I think is fun which also happens to be what will sell well
>>487830249Couldn't he have tried to write his game's description a bit less insufferable?
>>487830303based on a place in my mind I wanted to visit, and invite others to visit.
>>487746709I'm always impressed with your progress, your game might be the most advanced mechanically game from heresdn4
>>487830498>rtfm!based
Added some early form of ladder climbing its super simple and a bit janky but il improve it later to be more polished but to have an earlier version of it will work for the alpha level designing I need to do.
>>487733087Genuinely disgusting. I hate when people ruin perfectly good food and drink.
>>487831212Calm down Mario.
>>487828951Looks cool, but also doesn't look like something people would be willing to pay 15$ for.
okay I have a game idea... a tower defense idea...
>>48775750752 now
>>487830303Neither.
>>487830303itæs based on what i thought i could make
>>487746709I like your game. Not enough to buy it because I hadly play any games, and the ones I do play are mine.I hope you're not falling for the crabbing
>>487748154Probably only one guy seething.
>>487750019Archtower is one of the best games in this general. And it's an RPG which is the best genre too.
>>487832558Do you even have a game in mind or are just enginedev'ing for the fun of it?
>>487832657Pretty much just for the fun of it but I would like to make something with it at some stage.
kek
>>487830902What is this game? What genre?
>>487832868bokudev souls slop dont bother
>>487831212Same...
Is it fine to have a level in my game (at the beginning) that is impossible to win just to teach the player that it's okay to lose occasionally in my game and they don't have to savescum/minmax?
>>487833001Yes, it's fine.
>>487833001Why wouldn't they want to savescum or minmax? That's just things some players enjoy. If you don't want them to do it, make it hard for them.
>>487833001Doesn't one of the dark souls games do that? The first boss just kills you then you re spawn somewhere completely different?(I might be wrong I haven't beaten any of the games they are too hard for me)
>>487833143demon souls you mean does this in the tutorial
Finally got all the blendshapes working in UE, took a lot longer than I thought it would.
>>487833001>to teach the player that it's okay to lose occasionallyIt's never okay, dumdumb.The best you can have are challenge that are clearly too hard for now and that the player should ignore until they level up / unlock abilities / etc.And people into savescumming will savescum even for trivial matter.A level you have to lose will piss off everyone and that's it. It won't teach anything, outside of "the dev is a faggot".>>487833143First boss in DS1 is *nearly* impossible the first time you encounter him ('cause you have only a shit weapon). You can still beat it if you are autistic enough tho."First" boss in Elden Ring (the Golden Knight outside) does the "come back later, bitch" job a bit better since you aren't forced into fighting him AND he is much easier to beat immediately if you really want.
>>487791159>Duke Nukem but actually goodwhat the fuck does that even mean?the doors not killing you?
>>487833607>It's never okay, dumdumb.But losing is* fun.*Can be fun.
>>487834339>>487833607Players lose all the time in multiplayer PvP.
>>487834339>>487834692Except the question was whether or not it was fine to have a mandatory loss, not if a game should be easy, or if PvP should handle participation trophy.
I broke it :(
>>487835067I already gave him permission so IDK what you're arguing about
it's impossible to code navigation regions and navigation agents in godot
>>487835171RIP, now you gotta restart back from that "drawing a triangle in OpenGL" step.
>>487833001Just do ruthless autosaving and don't allow manual saves if you want to hinder savescumming.
>>487835505:'(Nah I'm not that deep. I'm using a library for drawing.
>8 eggs and 300g sausages>I thought it would give me energy to dev until dinner but I'm already sleepyCan anyone here concentrate on gamedev when they're hungry? I found I have to balance between being hungry and being full but that means frequent meals which takes away from dev time.
>>487835067Right, I got confused by your quote>>to teach the player that it's okay to lose occasionally>It's never okay, dumdumb.I thought it's meant it's never okay to lose but I guess you meant it's never okay to give players an unwinnable level.
>>487835975>8 eggs + sausages>why am I sleepyNigga...
>>487835975you got the itis mate
>>487834339My experience in dwarf fortress>*builds atom smasher*>*pulverizes all enemy attacks with ease*>yawnLosing is fun, right? I guess I didn't have fun because I never lost

>>487837524Same...
>>487835975>8 eggs and sausages >I thought it would give me energy to dev until dinner but I'm already sleepyWhy are you following a miner's diet and schedule when you don't actually do a miner's work in the same conditions?

>>487837992I just got back from the gym before that meal.>>487838305It's like two meals, I did it as a time saving measure. I guess it's back to the drawing board.
>>487839198I'm just saying, miners ate one meal for the whole day because they didn't have access to a kitchen while working the mines. You got access to a kitchen, just eat small meals whenever you're hungry.
>>487839198I used to be on an OMAD diet thing because keeping track of calories multiple times a day is a pain in the ass and honestly you're gonna wanna go to bed after a big meal regardless of how much you've exhausted yourself through excercise, grazing little stuff throughout the day or leaving your big meal until the end of the day is probably your best bet
