>>487917748right there you fucking retard.
>>487917748That's the neat thing about visual novels. I don't need to make any gameplay.
Using the DnD stats (str, dex, con, etc) feels cringe and overused. But doing something different just for the sake of it also feels dumb, especially since the DnD ones feel pretty decent in how it splits things up.I am at a real impasse on this.

Is it ok to make my protagonist outright evil? Not in an antihero way, I mean like evil. Not even a little bit good, and with no redemption arc.
>>487918040you don't need them
>>487919225No, make a game deserving of (you)s or suck my dick.

how much of a song that I don't have the rights to can I put in a game before I get into trouble? Like let's say that I put a distorted 10 second snippet of a part of that song that makes it almost impossible to know it's even that specific song. There's no way they're getting me, right?
>>487923547Ask your lawyer. >I can't afford onethen don't do it, retard.
>>487923547you won't get in trouble because you'll never make a game cris
>>487923705>>487923707okay, let's make it even more interesting: a snippet of the instrumental of a song. Most songs are unrecgnizeable once you reduce them to an instrumental. It's the perfect crime. Who's gonna catch me?
is it normal to have this mild constant felling of wanting to sudoku after getting a jobby ?
>>487919649https://classical-inquiries.chs.harvard.edu/seven-greek-tragedies-seven-simple-overviews/look up shakespears villains, some of them are basically what you mention, literally monsters.Sade stories are so controversial and edgy they are still banned in a lot of countries after 300 years.So you could simply take a Story from Sade and make it a videogame.Googum games are also about villain school shooters that caused national outrage from normies calling for him to be jailed.FFVI also has a villain as major plot points, causing the events the hero's react to.In a sense kefka story is about him.Frankestein story is basically about the monster.The joker movie is a film classic about also a villain with no redeemable characteristics.Horror movies are built on literal monsters being the agents of the plot.Silence of the lambs is a masterpiece in film history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iB21hsprAQCrossed is a very edgy zombie survival genre that happens to be about complete sadistic psychopaths instead of slower dumb zombies.Raping of little sussy is literally also an edgy core about a sadistic scene of rape and torture of a little girl. (core /b/ pastas from 2006).So there's already examples of villain stories.

Going to do now the synthorial app course.It's like 120 interactive sound design classes.But I will be able to do magic with an oscillator after that.
Spent about 3-4 hours today doing a trenchbroom/godot tutorial. Pretty happy with what I've learned, seems like a decent workflow for what I want to do. We will see what happens when I start trying to add more complex stuff.
>>487924837What judge? Who is gonna detect it? Even if a person detects it why would he care? Even if he cares is he really going to tell the artist? If my game is popular enough that this is a real hazard at that point I would have the money to just license a bunch of songs and get rid of the mashed up ones. WHERE IS THE FLAW?

>>487926001sorry I only read "threnchbroom" and I was like "damn this nigga is running a game in trenchbroom? Wtf"
Hi everyone I just released my game trailer today :)https://youtu.be/14kFoSxsiBU?si=4Hlnx98LEhXkyMWZ
>damn this nigga is running a game in trenchbroom?
>>487926335I know it's a meme, but the tutorial was more about setting up your project so you can do 90% of the level editing in trenchbroom, then in godot all you have to do is press build and it "just works". For instance, the naked guys and lights are trenchbroom entities I placed on the map, not in godot. It's a pretty robust framework.

You know I had a thought, that instead of working on a game for a year or two, why not make a small vertical slice of it in 2 months, just a small area, doesn't have to include every damn mechanic you have planned, release a steam page with a trailer, and put up that vertical slice as a demo during a steam festival, and see how much attention it gets, and based on how much attention it gets, you can either ditch the project, or be invigorated by how much positive attention it gets?
>>487927480Is that really your game? Are you a woman or something? Are you expecting praise for making a gay undertale ripoff? Have you tried being original?
>>487924315why even bother now that asset stores are a thing? is there a particular asset you can't find an appropriate equivalent of?

>>487918407Looks yummy but why milk with it?

>Make windows only release, since the engine only supports windows>People who are on mac only buy it without seeing it it has mac supportI guess they thought proton was going to be helpful? Lost 80 dollars because of it, but it could have been worse.
>>487930217It's super weird. Milk is a food for baby cows.
>>487927905Well, they are a decent indicator. Plus with Steams change of allowing a full on separate steam page for a demo along with reviews, this may become to new meta for game dev. Quickly build up and release a small demo, gauge the feedback, and based on that, the devs will either stick with the project, or dump it for another. Money wise, it makes sense to do that.
>>487929785no you are not
>>487923547Possibly fine, a popular indie game Ive played and some song has the same music for like a combined 5 seconds. Side by side it sounded like the music group copied the indie games music. I've also seem Clash of Clans copy a few that sound way too similar eg two of the maps that comes with different music, one sounds exactly like Terraria and another sounds like music from an anime I watched. If a company that big is doing it brazenly then idk if you'd even get in trouble.
>>487930297I just like milk. Simple as.
>>487929519I don't like the idea of parading my "gimmicks" despite them existing. It would just be annoying to other people
>>487930297Its literally one of the most nutrient-complete foods there is. You can live just off of milk for a very very long time. I drink close to 1L of milk a day myself. Love it. I eat lots of yogourt and cheese too.
>>487930297Everything on this earth is for me specifically. The cow's milk is mine, and so is it's meat. It's bones will adorn my wall and it's skin will adorn my body
>>487925302>Even if a person detects it why would he care? Even if he cares is he really going to tell the artist?Yes. Haven't you seen the fanboys time and time again go rabid at any single game that so much as has a similar concept? A downright 1 to 1 copy is definitely going to get their attention. Now wherher the company does something is a different story as I mentioned Clash of Clan's copying Terraria close enough that it sounds like they just ripped part of the track and pasted it in theirs. Where I can tell where the music is going even before it hits that note
>>487930674Same here. Gamers don't need to know about my dwarfism and eyepatch.

>>487923252now this is real dungeoneering
>>487920128The problem is that """devs""" in this thread are so trash that if you have an actually impressive game (like I do), with thousands lines of math-heavy coding, innovative game design, etc. as soon as you'd post some pictures it'd generate seething, envy and generally unpleasant reactions. So you're forced to just not share your game progress or post about some very """crappy""" game or find a less shit place to share the progress of your good game.

>>487930370fuck... he mogs me both with his body and by having a game
>>487921131>It's crabbing to say that a game has lacking moving mechanics and that this globally affects the experience of the levels
>>487927584That's not how it works, genius. Coding the mechanics, UI, etc. of the game is a very big chunk and sometimes most of the work there is to be done, depending on the genre.
>>487932392But you don't need to code all the mechanics unless you happen to have all the mechanics available from the get-go and have no progression. UI? Yeah. But you can probably whip something up fairly quickly.
https://youtu.be/Ps_qntle64Q?si=1vk8-6mNi6NT1gb6&t=2913>Some people ask me: "How do you get into indie games? How do you succeed? How do you release games that people want to play? How do you design them well?">And the answer to all those questions is you just stop being a crab.>If you stop being a crab, you will have success in life.This stream is also fucking hilarious. It's 2 hours of JBlow muttering "I know how to do this" over the other guy's shoulder as he tries to play the game in peace.
>>487932742Imagine you dev a city building game. You'd have to have all the UI displaying the info about income, immigration, the construction menu and construction mechanics, this and that. Plenty of buttons for different map displays and it would be weird to lock too many of them. Basically most of the work should be done already. Maybe in a very linear RPG game I could imagine what you said but for some genres it just doesn't work unless I'm mistaken.

Some of the new icon style for the spaceship's component.
>>487935274Is it supposed to be apparent what they represent?
>>487934021I've literally never had any issues with digesting milk. Not only that, but often when people have trouble digesting it, it's because of the cow. Milk used to come from a completely different cow than the kind we get milk from now. A person should try A2 milk if they have problems with regular milk (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5593102/ ). That guy also mentioned broccoli for calcium, but no mention of how the calcium in broccoli is less bio available than the calcium in milk because milk also contains potassium, Vitamin D, as well as K2 MK-4, all of which help shuffle calcium to the bones. I literally just gamedev and study nutrition (since what you put into your mouth is one of the few things you have complete control over in your life that provides real benefits for not that much effort).Anyway I'll stop talking about how great milk is since it's not relevant.
Procedural ruins using randomized game of life rules, they need some post-processing so the interiors have proper corridors and rooms but I think there's potential.
>>487930297>t. equatorial chef who only knows how to chop vegetables and spitroast meat>>487936000interesting, though it'll surely converge on certain repeated patterns
>>487935740No. They are color coded (red->reactor, orange->fuel, green->mission control) but the icon may be a little abstract at time.
>>487918040The only reason rpgs have character stats is because they were originally actively trying to copy D&D. Maybe look at some other ttrpg systems for inspiration. Or make an fps and don't bother with character stats.
>>487929519I'm gonna be the first dev from agdg to make a game
And more progress on the research ui.
>>487918040Do stats for non combat stuff or use alternate names.

>>487937360My team is me and a guy who likes to think he's contributing but doesn't actually get any of his ideas put into the game because he doesnt actually contribute anything of value.

>>487937360There's a D in indie, too. It stands for Different, which is how I'm built. Heh.

>>487921835>doesnt know how to use silverware>countersignaling milk>not only that but doing so on the single most appropriate pairing of milk and food, implying he doesnt drink milkyou are literally brown
>>487933029it perfectly complements it. Pasta sauce and meat are acidic, milk is basic. Tomato is "sharp" and lean, milk is "round" and fatty.That's why vodka sauce (marinara + cream) works so well.Milk also goes well with many foods because it has more of the animo acids most vegetables don't. It makes complete proteins out of your beans or peanut butter. Also just tastes great and is the most satiating food.

Given the shift in theme from vague post-apoc to vague psychedelia I think it's only right to rename my game to something more appropriate.The current premise is that an event caused every single thing in the universe to gain a soul, every thing thinks and dreams. Not only physical things but also the ideas and dreams in an infinitely recursive pattern of dreamed things dreaming things. This is meant to tie in with the gameplay concept that every object might be a portal to another world, or more accurately a portal to the psyche of the object and how it interprets reality.I'll be wrapping this into a more coherent narrative but I think the base concept is good enough so I've been thinking up some new names, I let them marinate for a few days but I still have no idea what to pick.>The Seeing Storm>Robotic Reverie>Life’s Labyrinth>Perceptron>Consciousness Circuit>Neural Nexus>Dream Nexusideaguys welcome

Should I try to make my world "interconnected"? I think I'm just gonna do the classic thing like Demon's Souls did and have a few separate worlds that are linear, giving the player some choice on which to do and when. The illusion of non-linearity.Level design without thinking about connecting stuff is already making my head hurt, and world partitioning is also a pain in the ass.I think trying to make something that's spiderweb-like is edging into scope creep territory, and is gonna be on the chopping block as a result.

Anons with shops in their game. Do you have a singular script that handles all shops in your game or do you have a monobehavior for each one? If it's the latter, when a shop is opened/enters the scene how does it subscribe to the other data such as the players inventory or gold?

>>487950219If that's something you're worried about, you can lower its treble in the mix a touch once the other instruments come in. You should try that, and see if you like the sound better.Complaints like that are usually in the mixing, not the composition. Continue making adjustments and experimenting with levels, you might stumble across a sound you really like.

>>487938101>>487939039depends on the aesthetic. Both are retro in their own right so this all comes down to the character's look so as long as they match no one will bat an eye.gives strong DS vibes, maybe old PC Point and Click ones too if thats what you're going for. If you're making a WEG with poorly lit 3D models stick with the top lol
>>487953783everyone knows the most productive hours to work on your game is when you're procrastinating from work
>>487954146Damn I loved that Sims 2 game on DS, super weird but it was fun.It's for a survival horror game, going for a sort of eerie 90s CG aesthetic. Here's one of the characters. But I think I like the second one in the original post best. The color band getting crushed looks cool to me.
Why hasnt anyone made a janky horror game where you control the player character with voice commands like Lifeline? That would make a great streamer bait game.

>>487927584It's a potential option. Buy a bunch of app id's and just plop all your games in during next fest. Idk if there is any issue for regular festivals and just using 1 steam app id where if the game looks like a flop you change its name and the gameshown.

Are there no 3D platformers in Godot because it is hard as shit to make in this engine?
>Canvas>CanvasRenderer>CanvasScaler>CanvasRaycasterWhy does every canvas need like 4 components in Unity man.
>>487957903what makes you say that? Would another engine be better?t. baby nodev who's planning on a 3D platformer in Godot as his first real game
>>487957578It is a concern indeed but the jolt addon handles it better.
>>487958058Just a lot more templates in stuff like Unity and Unreal. I feel like I have to scrutinize over every detail.
>>487957578You should use convex shapes as colliders. If you give a game engine a non-convex shape it'll break it up for you, I'm not sure of the performance cost of that, if it's ongoing or a one-off.You should ask this question to a community that actually makes games instead of one that pretends to make games.

Good night /agdg/ I had a super productive day. Hoping to roll it into tomorrow with some basic level dressings and some item/inventory basics.
>>487960409Is this meant to be a full Space Station 13 thing in 3D or just a jokey Doom clone?
I notice in a lot of 3D platformers, the devs always set the direction of velocity vector before applying acceleration to it thus causing an effect like pic related when trying to make a 180 degree turn in the opposite direction. Is that way so many games do a "break animation" when trying to do that?

Damn I really underestimated how difficult and time-consuming making puzzles is. Because I already start with the answer in my head I have no idea how to accurately judge its difficulty. This must be like the one genre that needs the most outside testing and that's something I don't have easily available. When I was making a beat-em up roguelite it was a hell lot easier to adjust difficulty just by playing it myself.

If right clicking on an item in the inventory equips an item. Should it stay the same when the shop window is open? At the moment, it stays the same so the player has to drag the item to the shop window to sell items.

>>487936747I thought this was a skill tree, wasn't it... so what is it? How does the gameplay work around it?
>>487927584> I'm just going to make a small vertical slice> Three years later Good luck.
I didn't even realize the mechwarrior like games were two distinct ones
what does aggydaggy think of exhibiting your game at an expo? (provided its professional and polished enough to warrant that)would probably need to register an LLC to exhibit at PAX, but its probably good to register an LLC anyway for legal/tax purposeshas anyone here done this? and/or registered an LLC for their game/game company?
I give up. I really do.
>>487966051>provided its professional and polished enough to warrant thatlike everything else, if you're game is good, it's a good thing to do, if you're game is shit, total waste of time
>>487966051Do expos to connect with other devs, and to feel good about seeing people play your game irl, but not for marketing purposes.
>>487965658Yeah people really underestimate how long it takes to make even a small, fun, playable demo. Vampire Survivors took 3 months to make in its early access state. If you don't already have several projects from which to recycle and frankestein together base systems (like Pseudoregalia dev did), good fucking luck.
>>487927584>"Let me just waste my own time!"
>>487960736Compute the output vector separately, then lerp progressively?
>>487964313Like how many hours per day did you crunch numbers during these 2 or 3 weeks?
What kind of game should I make if I'm:- good at programming- useless at 2D art- not terrible at 3D art- good at writing funny stuff?
>>487964313So you had no playtesting and feedback? If showed it to us and uploaded it to demo day, we could've told you if it looks like shit.
>>487953783/agdg/ picks up when people aren't working on their games. it only follows that it's less active on weekends, and more active during the week when people are doing such things as shitting on company time or posting from their laptop in the middle of a class
>>487966501Depends on the game and the novelty. Pseudoregalia is just a 3d platformer, it doesn't bring any new mechanics to the table. Vampire Survivor is the same situation, it's just a wave survivor with a refined way of displaying rewards. My game has unique novel mechanics that have never been done before. They are also relatively complex. Even without asset creation, it would have taken years to create a vertical slice. That's just the price you need to pay to differentiate yourself from the market. Manor Lords took 7 years to get to EA. Falling Frontiers has been in development for over a decade. Valheim took 5 years to get a demo. Quality takes time, no need to rush.
>>487964313post game?
>>487967857>If showed it to us and uploaded it to demo day, we could've told you if it looks like shit.Explain how this happened then? Games uploaded to DemoDay.
I want to make a 3D third-person mech game where your mech transforms automatically depending on the terrain it's on - wheels on flat ground, tank treads on loose gravel, becomes a submersible in water, etc. - and to have different movement variables and movesets in each of these forms.Seems like I would make a state machine in the player code and then use the state variable of that to control an animation tree.Is there a way to do this without a state tree or even worse spaghetti code? I'm getting a headache just thinking of all the state transitions I need to code seeing as each mech type would have it's own idle, moving, jumping, etc. states.
>>487968075This is bait, right? Uploading your game to demo day doesn't instantly make it a guaranteed success.
>>487968391A state machine (very stupid name for that thing) is useful when there are no clear delineations of states, like when you need to combine a character bouncing on a dick and potentially sucking another dick on either side. If you have a transformer like Blitzwing or Astrotrain, those are clear states that you can just switch between without having to deal with previous states.
>>487968075nta but there could be many reasons>It's a learning project so I'm fine if it doesn't do amazing. The game is capped by my original skills, reworking it is not worth it>having something to my name has value to it even if it tanks>I already spent the steam credits and chose the game name(steam has a problem with repurposing your store page) so I might as well
>>487968391Procedural animation. They are mechs, not humans.
>>487968075The bottom of the list is full of bottom tier games? How could this be?
Someone asked why all games people post about in /agdg/ are shit. I’m currently in the making of a great game, with detailed and innovative mechanics and outbreaking game design, a monument I’ve been making for several years that I’m 100% positive will be a immediate huge success on release. Something on a par with (in reality better on so many levels) AA or even AAA games. Alone, I a single game dev on NEETbucks, produced work of better value than studios of 10 or even 100 overpaid professional "devs". The problem is that """game devs""" here get so envious and bitter when I post some pictures of my progress or even just allude to it that I’ve just stopped altogether to avoid the bad reactions of jealousy. """Devs""" in this shit general don’t want to hear about games with more than 100 lines of code, or even to hear about programming altogether, and they will shit on your work if you didn’t make it with RPGmaker or if it’s not some VN. The shittier your game, the best reactions you get. If your game has potential to be bought say, over 10 times, """dev""" losers here basically want to murder you. So I’ve fallen down to finding some random pics of very crappy """games""" that nobody liked or cared about and pretend it’s mine to get (you)’s and positive reactions while working on my groundbreaking gem of a game on the side. I suspect one or two other guys are doing the same and that’d explain why "games" posted in this thread are such crap.

>>487969704that thing is probably a zoomer.they also take periods as aggressive and oppressive and refuse to use question marks due to laziness.
>>487927859To be fair, this would be the original creator revisiting a project they know have lot of issues and untapped potential.Most remakes are gay because they're based on things that are already timeless, don't bring back the original creator and don't even realize some of the potential the original version wanted to achieve.Some even make worse changes.

>>487968674so I'd literally just use if statements and change my player script movement options based on what terrain the player's on in something like a switch statement? Sorry I'm a codelet. I remember hearing somewhere that people use FSMs for character controllers and animation, but this is not useful?>>487968717seems like a lot of work. Wouldn't it be easier to make animations and loop them? I don't need it to perfectly conform to terrain, not making a AAA thing here.
>>487966334if you have a small lobby multiplayer game (whether that be coop or ~4 player party game) I think it would be a good way to bootstrap organic growth if you give out free keys to everyone who visits the boothunconditional free steam keys, no bullshitpeople go to PAX with their friends, you give a whole friend group the steam key, they play your game with eachother, if they like it theyll invite other friends to play in their lobbies and those people will have to pay for it, etcI was at PAX when ultimate chicken horse was there and playing it at the booth with my friends was a blast, like we went back multiple times to play itits basically the only game I remember from that expolooking at steamcharts player count doubled just weeks after the 2016 expo when they first showcased itso theres thatof course you can argue that any game that good would take off anyway, but Im sure the expo helps
>>487970180>so I'd literally just use if statements and change my player script movement options based on what terrain the player's on in something like a switch statement? Sorry I'm a codelet. I remember hearing somewhere that people use FSMs for character controllers and animation, but this is not useful?State machines are useful when you have to juggle multiple states at once (bouncing on dick and sucking dick) and which part of the skeleton does what and in what amount.In your case, as soon as you hit a new terrain, tell the model to play the animation to another model.But more importantly and fundamentally, if this is not something you could trivially figure out on your own, you need more practice. Do tutorials, make tutorial games, expand the games, spend like 3-4 months just doing that. Your skills need to cook more.
>Healed To DeathJust making boss fights at the moment. 13/24 done. I added the mechanic to stun enemies. It will need an animation and some visual effects but the mechanics are all there. Hoping to get the game 'content complete' by September so I can spend the next 5-6 months purely on polishing and making the game look prettier.
>>487968978Yeah, but it’s not "pasta" or whatever.>>487969704Reddit spacing? No thx.
>>487970943how many wishlists?
>>487966051Like the other guy said, use IRL expo's for networking but not marketingIRL expo's are outdated when it comes to marketing because most people don't care for them anymore (like how nobody cares E3 is gone even though the game fest manages to be worse than E3). If you manage to get your game at a booth, you're competing with all the AAA and AA booths (in terms of trying to make people remember your game) and since your booth will be in the indie section, you'll see other "indie" games that have funding from big publishers like MicrosoftThe only hope you'd have of going to a booth would be to self-fund your way in, with hoping to get picked up by an actual publisher much like what happened to the Cuphead devs but that was the mid 2010s not mid 2020sOnline expo's are infinitely better for exposure/marketing/attention and is what people mainly care about nowadays so enter those instead. When you enter, you should also ideally have a demo already made that you advertise with the game
>>487970806You will never be a woman, your parents will bury you with your given name, etc
>>487970943i can't tell which one is the boss because they all look the same
>>487970806Thanks for the help. Yes I am a codelet and at the beginner tutorial stage. >tell the model to play the animation to another modeldon't know why you and the other guy think this is my problem, animation at least seems easy in godot with the animation tree node and it referencing variables to change animations. I'm moreso asking about how you handle the player movement script, as controls, movement variables/feel and player actions will be different in different modes.>if this is not something you could trivially figure out on your ownSo does my suggestion of if statements and a terrain variable work? btw isn't this the same thing as a FSM basically, just changes what chunk of code (state) we're following for player movement based on the terrian variable?

>>487973424Relax.
>>487972907It's just a culture shift as the old gaming culture from the 90s - 00s is gone and there's now the culture that's been going on since the mid 2010sE3 was one of the last things from the old gaming culture but in it's last years it got continually worse and worse and had less views as more people just went directly to the trailers instead. More people were watching E3's streams and the uploaded game trailers than being physically thereCovid era also influenced the shift to focus more on online expos because more people were indoorsEven if a dev has an indie game that has good reception and has slowly been climbing his way up into getting his game featured in the more popular expos to the point he makes it into the curated ones like PC Gamer for example, that entire submission process is done onlineMost views and attention that come from expos isn't the people playing the games at the booths, it's the people seeing your game trailer uploaded on curated gaming news media channels or watching the expo streams that see your game's trailer and then: google your game, or look up a game's various social medias and then share it, or artists using the popularity of your game to make fanart which works as an indirect advertisement for your game, or search the game on steam to play the demo etcIt's why I mentioned that if there was any time for an indie dev to take the 'physical booth at an expo' route it would've been in the 2010s like what happened to the Cuphead devs but that route would be a bad idea to go for in the 2020s as online gets way more exposure
>>487974548PC Gaming Show for example, that entire submission process is done online and your game will be shown off in an online stream*
>>487974548>online exposwhat are some of these online expos you speak of?
>>487974548maybe its bad for marketing but Im sure its still a good opportunity to network with devs

>>487960826NO! PLEASE! WE AREN'T... READY YET!!!
I like that agdg has died. That means my competition has given up. Under 1000 games released on Steam in 2025.
I'm working on my game.
>>4879370913me and two of my kids as playtesters
>>487976880nice. my mom played my games I made as a kid.
>>487974879My vertical slice isn't ready and I'm working on it for about 6 months already
>>487968006>Quality takes time, no need to rush.Yeah that actually depends, I've taken far too long and the quality is definitely not all that high.>>487968075Feed already got 2 reviews. I expected it to do better desu
>>487917504not bad! one thing I'd like to see is more of a connection between the paper dolls in the game and the dialog in the foreground. While it's obvious they're the same characters, animating the paper dolls while they're "speaking" would give more life to the abstractly drawn dolls.
>>487977551I'm not sure why you call them paper dolls, but yes I plan to have the characters move along with the dialogue.
>>487976678>That means my competition has given up.you have the right idea bujt you're way off on timing.Yes, the game biz won't recover until enough people "give up", but the fact you're still here and there are still companies with multiple headcount trying to make it on 5000 DAU fortnite islands means there's a long long way to go. People think they only need to last until 2026, but guess what, everything is thinking the same thing. Probably not 2028 or so until people finally get in their stupid fucking heads that it's a shitty business they should stay away from.
>>487974679For the paid big names? Basically every big name expo has a stream where they show off games online. You can also submit to expos going on in your country/state as they will also have streams for online showcasingFor free ones? Just submit to expos that are popular and people actually talk about, easy example is SAGE or Indie Live Expo>>487974774Yeah networking is what I said in my last post
I don't know if I can meet my personal deadline for having a demo ready. I still need so much done and I haven't even finished one of the several categories worth of stuff I need to do. This feels bad, even with this extra effort I'm not confident about being done in time.
started making a pixelshit platfagger in godot as practice. i'm just gonna keep adding features and juice and improving bits of it every day to level up my skills. already having fun throwing grenades and rolling them down the hill. gonna try to figure out destructible terrain next.
>>487977778>>487977667>I'm not sure why you call them paper dolls, sorry, industry term, at least where I worked. refers to the visual depiction of the character. It gets confusing with "character", "person", like do you mean the internal stats? design? the character in the story? they're paper dolls because you put them up and "dress them" (graphically) however you like.
>>487977778>2028Heh with how much it's ramping up and not slowing down it'll probably be in the 2030s at the earliest. Only way it happens sooner is if we get something like the Great Depression on a global scale. Indie devs will quickly realize most people aren't going buy much games. Inevitably a crash on indie gaming as the few who buy games will likely stick to AAA or succesful indies from the past.
What is a better way to get smooth acceleration going? My current approach is just to use lerp to set the direction of the velocity vector and then multiply that by an ever increase speed value. This cause wemb related. I though about using lerp to interpolate both the direction and magnitude of the velocity but then that ends up causing my character to slide around unless I have the weight high which then causes my character to accelerate too fast.
>>487977982>slopesalready better than my game
>>487917243Hello friends! I found this thread because of some WoW private server thread on VG lol. I've been working on a game for sooo many years uggg, a dang MMORPG. I'm not sure if other gamedev projects feel this way but it feels like the work neeeever ends. Always some missing feature or tech to work on. I hope everyone's having luck on their projects lately. I'm coding away still at 6am here, been up all night hehe.
>>487978969How do I learn how to make an MMORPG?
>>487978612anyone...?
>>487979019Weeeell you're best off asking someone who has shipped one, which I haven't, but my approach has been to study and reverse engineering some of the more popular ones. My favorites were World of Warcraft, Runescape and Phantasy Star Online. Although, if you're going to go that route I think reverse engineering WoW is your best bet as the other two either are technically dated and many of the awesome things that did don't have much value on modern hardware/limitations oooor were fundmentally technically flawed in a networking sense (such as PSO).It is tough to find good resources I think for how to create something so complex otherwise. I've tried to consume as many resources as I could from sources that verifiably shipped one that worked but there are so few I've seen over the years =(.But in the end it's an enormous amount of technical and networking work. Then you gotta make all the content =( which there has to be a lot of. Anyway, probably a strange recommendation but I do think studying how WoW worked on a technical level is a good "book" for how you might make a decent MMO.
>>487979340Damn, I was hoping there was some secret "How to make an MMORPG" book, but I guess the hard way is the only way so it can't be helped.Thank you for your reply.

>>487980776it's just a signal how well things have been going. only way to get over it is to just pile up small successes in a row. it doesn't really matter what it is, just that your brain is getting the perception "oh wow things are working out" and it rewards you with a dopamine hit to keep doing what you're doing. so get active and do something other than "thinking". clean up your room or cook a meal that requires several steps or go take a walk with a specific goal in mind.

If my game has no chance of success, is my dev progress even progress?
>>487986325>>487986325My main issue was the rotation of the velocity vector and the magnitude. The approach shown in the video was me trying to first set my velocity vector's direction and then apply speed to it. This had the effect shown in the video where the vector would rotate when trying to move in a direction completely opposite of the current direction.Your proposed approach and the one I am just currently using right now, which is similar, is just to use lerp to interpolate both the magnitude and direction of the velocity vector. I can't seem to figure out a way to decouple these as I would like to have my direction to be set at a rather high speed and accelerate at a different speed.

Do you think there's a market for the video game equivalent of sports anime? Watching the olympics gave me this idea. Most sports games fall into one of two categories:>management sims>the sport itself as a video gameBasically you're either looking at stats and building a team of NPCs or playing a virtual version of the sport.Are there any games that take a different route more similar to an RPG? This is what I mean by "the video game equivalent of sports anime". I want a game that has actual named characters, character development, dialogue, player rivalries, and all the same stuff you'd find in something like Haikyu. AFAIK there aren't any sports games that are doing that. I feel like the RPG element could attract people who would otherwise never play a sports game, much like how the story element of sports animes attracts people who would otherwise never be interested in sports.

>>487991435What worked for me was using a chastity cage. I brought my masturbation problems up with my gf and she suggested locking me while she's at work so I don't just goon the whole day at home. First 1-2 weeks were super uncomfortable cause I was very horny, but at some point your body just "learns" that it's physically impossible to masturbate while the cage is on, so it stops giving you erections and you stop craving masturbation when it's on. If you have a gf you can try it with her, and if not I think there's some special keys/locks that can be set to only open up at an hour in the evening.
>>487992552I'm jealous of your innocence, blissfully ignorant to how the gachatard mind works.If you don't ban general on any video game board it will quickly devolve into gachaslop thread warring. That's the entire reason why /vg/ exists, gacha threads were taking over /v/ and making it unusable (not that anything of value would be lost). People would make threads with their "best" girl and all the fans of that girl would go to that thread. You'd have 4-5 threads for a single game.It's a lot like how /mu/ has devolved into over a dozen kpop threads in the catalog at any given time because fans of certain groups/performers want their own thread.
Don't know why the particles stop working, seems they need time to reset or something.
I'm working on this game where you play as a boy who is forced to go through a girls' school naked.

The new jon blow sokoban game will have sub 1k reviews I fear. Braid was a fluke and the witness gets tedious real fast, but is in fp so it baits normies. The audience for the new sokoban game are just zachtronics autists.Honestly watching his last few streams and hearing him talking about the bomb that was the braid remaster is really depressing. Will sokoban game be his last game ever? I just think the spark is gone. He might just be able to get a teaching job at some fake gamedev uni.

I'll check to see if any of the argument signatures match what you're looking for.>If they do match, I'll compare the signaled value to the one you want.And then I'll reply,>Thank you, dear Function.>You're a good friend, despite what the others say.post gamedev pets
>>487925068Based trenchad bro, if you need help implementing anything just let me knowbut are you using qodot or func_godot? the latter is newer and as far as I understand qodot will stop being maintained >>487941290as the other anon mentioned, either you would move the stuff outside of the TB map node in godot or setup custom entities you need in the FGD files.for performance I don't mind the extra geometry from brushes since I am making closed levels and I can use the builtin occlusion culling node from godot
>>487993315Nah, the fact that it's connected to JBlow is enough to make it a success. You clearly aren't familiar with the level of influence he has in the puzzle gaming scene. People will literally reccomend games by introducing them with "Jonathan Blow liked it" or something like that.You're right that it might not have much normie appeal since it's a hardcore puzzler, but the puzzle gaming audience is still fairly large, and by virtue of being made by JBlow it will sell a lot of copies.

>>487993860Unreal's geometry brushes aren't intended to be used in finished levels, Trenchbroom is. You're supposed to block out levels with Unreal's brushes and then replace them with finalized assets. It'd be like constructing levels in Godot using only CSG boxes
>>487993603Insane cope, you must live in a bubble, SSR has under 1.2k reviews and it is hailed as a holy grail in puzzle circles, jons game doesnt have a cool gimmick like baba is you to appeal to the general public. Also remember the budget for his game is 20m dollars so he needs minimum of 20k reviews,If he was a true visionary, he would have made anything other than a boring puzzle game, he is a one trick pony, but the pony died, because most of the puzzle autists are trains now and he is against them :(
I'm upset that people pirated my game. Not for financial reasons, but because I want to know what people think of my game after they play it, and obviously no one leaves reviews for games that they pirated.

>>487994754Same... Even though I should....
>>487978578>Heh with how much it's ramping up and not slowing downthat's true. Every time there's a layoff at some AAA or a AA shuts down, everyone there immediately makes a go at creating their own studio. It's still possible to raise funding if you have the right resume, which gives those companies a few years of runway before they throw in the towel. Assume this year's crop of companies have 2 years at the minimum, so you'll see them start going under in 2026, with some lasting maybe until 2028. Fortunately at that point the principals involved will no longer have a decent game dev resume and will need to exist the biz for a real job.

>>487991040>I feel like the RPG element could attract people who would otherwise never play a sports game, much like how the story element of sports animes attracts people who would otherwise never be interested in sports.that's actually an interesting idea. It'd be hard to define the right audience for that in the west. Story games draw a female audience, but that's obviously not a core sports demo. The biggest issue is that if your studio is able to make a good story game then there's much bigger audiences in the west for plots other than sports, so why not do that? Japan has sports animes as you mention but there's not really anything similar in the west that proves there's an appetite for it.Maybe a women's soccer league or WNBA themed title though. You'd certainly get write-ups in Kotaku if you made a a black lesbian basketball themed RPG. >plot line: you want to get pregnant. You pick the sperm donor from a gacha box.

Are you expecting the velocity vector to flip to pointing 180 degrees without rotating?Webm related was what I was trying to do.>what's "accelerate at a different speed" mean?What I meant was increasing the magnitude of the velocity vector gradually.Step one, I would set the direction the velocity vector.Step two, I would then gradually increase the magnitude of the velocity vector.Though to get the effect in the webm related here, I would have to interpolate both direction and magnitude and would not be able to decouple them.Ideally I would like to have my direction be set almost instantly and then have my velocity's magnitude increase slowly, the only way this could be done would be by decoupling but then I get the issue in the previous webm. I am not sure if there is anyway around this so I was just wondering what have others done.

>>487993315It'll make money, but Jon B is pretty open about setting all his cash on fire. The question is, can it make enough to fuel another 10 years of autistically making a boring game for a niche group of people who probably just steal his game anyway. In some ways I'm glad braid bombed. I watched that Indie Game Dev Doc and it sickened me the arrogance of Meat Boy devs. They really believe that was a good game. All those guys made just awful fucking games. Even at the time I was like what the fuck is this shit, are people brain dead retards? Who is enjoying this slop? And in time, I was correct. People just wanted Indie games to be quality to make AAA look bad, so lapped up slop and ranked Indie games 5/5 in reviews. Despite being worse than super mario world.
>>487995250You need to get bigger bucks. I got huge bucks (1.5 years of unemployment) after behaving like a total asshole to everyone at my job.

i can come up with gameplay ideas pretty easy and i can come up with story ideas easy, but they both feel separate from another. the best ideas i've come up with are those that harmoniously combine at the birthpoint of the idea.

I'm skipping 4D and instead, I'm making a 5D game. Lol, ya'll are still suck making 2D games?
>>488000758I don't hate him, I just think he let himself be infected with some poor ideas. He places money at the bottom. But as a business owner this is simply a mistake. I get his concept that money follows quality, but he also has no problem not appealing to anyone. So it's like ok, you exist on the fringe, that's fine. But fringe companies need to be light, and not burn cash. But hey, maybe he's right like you mentioned and he just has rich people throwing cash at him. And maybe he's fine crashing and burning because then he can be a persecuted/misunderstood genius and spends his remaining days talking about how dumb everyone is for not appreciating him.
>>488000954Post Game?
>>488000279You never understood because you’re a moron who probably coded neither in 2D nor in 3D. Rotations in 2D are easy to compute with complex numbers, in 3D they’re computed with quaternions which less than 0.1 % programmers understand let alone /agdg/ loser devs, no offense.
>>488000000based and soilitairepilled
After making games for 8 years as a solo dev where I've learned to do everything myself, I've come to the realization that designing a great game is the hardest and most challenging part of gamedev. Unfortunately that's the part I'm bad at.
/agdg/ games need more traps
>>488001107You're a genuine nodev retard if you think this>multiply quaternions to rotate objects>use libraries to rotate on a global/local axis at a specific degree (something literally any engine handles for you)Woooooow so difficult
>>488001369I will now add traps to my game.
Added some dialogue in the game and in time, I will add the whole lore into the game!
>>488001369this better be the next fetish added to nortubel
>>488001369Gamdev itself is a trap!
>>488001369My game has 4 kinds of stationary traps.
I fucking hate working with other people. When you work alone, you can just give up at any time for any reason, but when you work with other people, you have to keep going. Fucking bullshit.
>>488001669those world texture seams lol
>>488001224I'll design your game for you codemonkey anon
>>488000279>I never understood this whole "3d is more difficult" memeI have 3 different types of rigs, a metarig which generates a rigify rig which has fancy IK controls and constraints on it, then the deformation bones of that rig are cloned into a separate game-ready rig with a simplified hierarchy because game engines don't tend to like convoluted bone hierarchies. That game-rig is then is constrained to the control rig in blender so that I can use the control rig to animate using the fancy widgets and inverse kinematics. Then I use an addon to bake animations to the game-rig frame-by-frame to minimize the chances that godot will shit the bed when I import or re-import the model. And then there's a bunch of different animations and poses I need that I haven't even started yet and I'm learning to animate those as I go so they're going to look pretty basic even if I try my best. This is all after easy parts like weight painting which I did a hack job of because I have no idea how to set up a rig so that a wizard robe actually looks good so it just follows the legs loosely. I experimented with a cloth simulation but I don't know how it'll export or if it'll loop cleanly. The thing isn't even UV unwrapped and textured yet. and it doesn't even really do anything in the game yet other than me experimenting with a very basic animation blend tree.This has all taken a long time and is very complicated, comparatively I think making a sprite sheet is far less technical.If you're making a space game with non-animated spaceships that just fly around, you'll probably have an easier time, but rigged and animated 3d characters are a lot of work.

>>488001627What I said is that very few programmers, let alone /agdg/ loser devs, understand how quaternion multiplication works and how it relates to rotation in the space. You’re a nodev if you think you can use things without understanding them. It might work once, it will much less likely work twice, and less even thrice. If you had worked on large projects for a long time and not dedicated your time to ass-sniffing maybe you’d realized that using assets and shit that you didn’t code yourself from A to Z is a bad idea. Quaternions is just a notion among others that people are generally illiterate in, linear algebra is another.
Market to boomers by having slow gameplay (simulators)Market to genx with nostalgia bait (adventure games)Market to millennials with le quirky quippy sarcasm because that's what they see as a replacement for not having a personality (capeshit)Market to zoomers by causing drama quickly in the format of a tiktok video (anything so long as pronouns, body type b and aposematism hair is involved)It really is that simple

Unreal devs, do you organize your variables by rainbow colors?
>>488002192I hate it too but for the exact opposite reasons. You don’t need to wait for them, you can work 12 hours a day and you don’t need to put fucking comments every ten lines of code for Shaquina (or the average femoid or Pajeet retard) to understand (which she will not understand, anyway, but you both have to pretend.) This is one big strength small studios and in particular solo devs have, amongst many weaknesses.
>>488003236ok
I've been getting filtered hard by Alien Soldier lately, and it made me wonder whether I should be making a game at all. I wanted my game to be challenging, but apparently the only type of challenge I can deal with is the modern type. These classic treasure games are literally eviscerating me through my asshole. Idk, I guess maybe back in the day the idea was that you'd spend a lot of time replaying the games, for hours on end. I feel like a retarded baby holding a controller for the first time./blog
>>488000000
>>487923252>Those fucking stats It's like when I see "walker" instead of "zombie".
>>487918040if you're making a game with a stat screen you're already in cringe territory anyway.
>>488003969play this game.https://ca3studio.itch.io/raul-misionMy point is, that is very hard, but is a dificulty that is fair.What I am trying to say is that our brains are biologically stupid when trying to do multitasking.So the key is not to make each enemy super smart or super dificult.But more of having the enemies having options to deal with the player.Something like the AI of a fighting game.
I spent this month unable to fix not a single thing in my life and no devving. The whole month just flew by in the blink of an eye.
>>488003637Organizing variables?
>>488003576> It's literally applying one rotation after the otherYou do not understand quaternion multiplication. Pathetic.
>>488002965My wizard isn't good 3d though, it's bare-minimum, low-poly untextured, badly animated and experimental, and it's still a complicated workflow.>>488002790Silence, I will respond to bait just to get away from Blender for a bit.>>488002735Unfortunately I am not making an assetflip

>>488005323Older games drink a lot from arcade gameplay.Arcade games are like 20 minutes, but they use the technique of making their games be unfair so the player dropped quarters a lot.Losing lives is a good challenge because you wanted your coin to last longer, but the arcade owner wanted you to lost fast.It's a diferent philosophy from modern games, which relly more on telling a story.
3d niggas when they meet 4d enthusiasts https://youtu.be/KhbUvoxjxIgAlso I think this game sucked back when it was actually being made, cool tech but the dev clearly has no idea how to turn it into compelling gameplay, he's far more interested in the academic side of things and needed an ideaguy
>>487923252>>488004172>those stat names
>>488006145>they use the technique of making their games be unfair so the player dropped quarters a lot.this is not true. if an arcade game was unfair, the player would just feel cheated and not drop any more quarters. those games maybe existed, but they're the arcade games that died quickly. also, this game I. particular was a mega drive game.
>>488005837Player character, actually. :^) Best part? Most of those variables aren't even being used anymore.
>>488006601metal slug only is fair the frist two levels.
>>488006621Edit->Delete Unused Variables
>>488000000VVITNESSED
>>488006695I guess metal slug is shit then. but I think the best part of the arcade game design was that it incentivized developers to make games challenging, but also fair. after all you want the player to drop another quarter when they die, not decide that the game is bullshit and then tell their friends to avoid it.
>>488006776Whoa, hey now, wouldn't want people to think I know what the fuck I'm doing.
>>488006695Metal Slug is giga-fair they give you tanks that can take multiple hits before being destroyed and can even recover their health by picking up fuel. In shmups you usually die in one hit.

>>488010020same
>>487997563yeah don't worry too much about switching to func_godot. it is mostly the same dev loop. func is a lot less opinionated and gives you the bare minimum, for instance you are probably using the qodot func_move for the door? in func you will need to make it yourself (or just take the example one from one of the project's repos). I would say the only major feature (imo) that is missing in qodot and func_godot, which will eventually be added in func but I am not sure if it will be ported to qodot, is the "phong" attribute. It is used to smoothen geometry normals. right now it is "broken" as it works on a per brush basis and not per mesh.
>>488003637>>488004814use categories you fucking niggers.

>>488011550looking at their docs page its mainly that first thing I mentioned about it being "less opinionated", which would indeed have a few breaking changes. but I am also unsure if it really required a whole new plugin but whatever, the new one being as barebones as it is works great for me

If the first thing a player experiences in your game is a series of tutorial messages then you're just conditioning them to see the game as that tutorial and not what it's actually supposed to be.
>>488016894yeah we all know that, faggot. go play super metroid and see how a tutorial is supposed to be
>>488014929>>488016005There's a strangely high amount of artists that don't seem to grasp what PPI even means and they only know the term because it's Photoshop's default unit of measurement for canvases. They weren't kidding about zoomers being tech illiterates.

And this is after I did all the usual troubleshooting tips you find online, like using the gles2 renderer, use viewport scaling, not using the a procedural sky environment, etc. I'm perfectly willing to admit that it might still be me doing something retarded, but if so, it's not any of the usual mistakes.
From now on I'm gonna write down the negative thoughts I get, and force myself to write a counter for those thoughts.
