I should do some pixel art
At least 5 progress posts didn't get any (You)s last thread.
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
>>488263065What the fuck are those symbols?
>>488263065That's some interesting advice.
>>488263248thats japanese text
I'll do it. I'll make a sustainable primary income from gamedev. You'll see.
Hey guys 6 figure remote tech job chad dev here, wondering how we’re all feeling this morning? I’m so annoyed that I have to do 1-2 real hours of work today before I can start working on my game but hey I guess that’s life. Gotta work hard to play hard as they say lol
I just need to make some crusty sound effects, but audacity effects don't give me the result I want
How nessecary is proper file organisation? I've been told about the improtance of Keeping a consistent standard but keeping track of MVC stuff feels like way more of a pain in the ass than having classes that mostly just cover their own remit, if that makes sense
Time to make some progress.
>>488263065I love this trick and abuse the fuck out of it to make my animation more juicy. You don't even need to draw new frames for it. You can just stretch the frames a little.
may you all have a nice day of progress.
added a scythe upgrade that makes you speedy when you get a super-effective kill, it's good for chaining kills. the sound effect is pretty sexo, webm with sound here >>>/wsg/5634835
>>488264312You should try changing the walking animation so that the characters moves up and down a bit.
>>488264312looks good. did you brighten stuff? it's easier to see things.
So I've been looking at supposed agdg games and other games those guys madeApart from the risk of rain guy, basically no one had any other successful game since.The real black pill of gamedev isn't just that it's insanely hard to make it, it's that having a successful game will not significantly increase your chances of having further successes.More skills, more money, existing fan base... it's only marginally helpful.
>>488264312Have you looked into procedural animations? Your movement and animations look so samey and static it’s kind of off putting as someone who is just seeing this for the first time.With procedural animations you could have one walking animation but based on the math/velocity of your character it would look like hundreds of different animations and really give life to your game whereas now it feels so stale and stagnate
>>488263735I don't see any trick. Both animations look identical to me. I'm ngmi
>>488264556>Apart from the risk of rain guy, basically no one had any other successful game since.how many of them released any game since?
>>488264556most dont release more than 1 game because dev is misery and they aren't desperate anymore
>>488264465he does move up and down a bit, it's just not noticeable with the top-down camera angle I guess. I'm likely going to overhaul the player animations later down the line>>488264534very perceptive, yes I did. an anon yelled at me for having bad visual clarity so I've been fiddling with stuff. do you think I should make the game even brighter/add more contrast?
>>488264556You don't have to stop at /agdg/, you can even see the reluctance in devs like Notch, Toby Fox, Eric Barone, to really fully push with bravado and full confidence their next game. They know there's a very significant chance that it will completely flop or just be mid and forgotten, revealing their original success to be a lucky pull of the slot machine.
>>488263634>>488263242SCHIZO FIGHTSCHIZO FIGHT
>>488263540>how we’re all feeling this morningFeeling like shit.Overslept, too exhausted to work and while I'm wanting to dev on my game I don't have energy for that either.Take this as a reminder to eat food every once in a while.
>>488264556Did the Bug Fables team do anything else? Also what the fuck, Umurangi was Agdg?
>>488264694The trick is one is harder to make(drawing an intermediate closing hand) but you can get away with just barely moving the pixels, then closing the hand and barely moving them again for the complete animation. End result looks the same or better, for less hassle drawing.
>>488264694are you looking at the (1, 1.5, 2) and (1, 1.1, 1.9, 2) parts my retard?
>>488264725off the top of my headcumball (third game in dev)pengiun working on 2nddeadbolt is RoR dev so it's one less in the list
>>488263634stop posting in this general or kill yourself
>>488264906>do you think I should make the game even brighter/add more contrast?seems pretty good. One issue is that some enemies are the same color as the floor. the colored light on spawn helps, but after that they blend in a little.
>>488264694See how the right one is smoother? All I did was have two inbetween frames which are slightly larger/smaller than their keyframe before/after that.
>>488265119>>488265393I get it now, thanks. It's too subtle for mee though.
>>488265334good point, I could add a rim light from underneath to help mitigate the blending. if it doesn't work, I can just change the enemy textures. thanks!
>>488264312Looks and sounds good. Only thought is maybe pitch shift it a bit each time.
>>488264694Fucking retard lmao
>>488265075>Umurangi was Agdg?I don't believe it. but, I wasn't here during covid so
>>488265502like a higher pitch for every consecutive application? that does sound cool, I'll try it
>>488262153>One of the 1.25%.>no one cares about my progress.No wonder no one posts progress?
40 to 60 tanks of propane are consumed by homes alone EACH DAY.About 350 tanks in the week around Christmas.Light a match? Gas or an electronic lighter, near your tank? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other fuels, but the entire battery of power systems the state owns. :)Take all the "propane explosion stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of customers in that time who have tried (again, 50 tanks a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "blowing up."Cables cut, lower CO2 emissions, no need for sunlight, tank recycling, AND to top it all off: Your personal cost decreases over time, so even if you hit this "alternate energy lottery" for one town you'd have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that propane and propane accessories can't provide a sustainable primary income in 2024HahahahahaB O B B YOBBY
For me it's most definitely Eric Barone
Made some adjustments, switched over to dialogic because I realized it does everything I need, and is way easier then doing it by scratch. It fit into my hand-built framework well.Also made hands update with the first inventory slot. Feels very like minecraft now. I think today I am going to work on some very basic gameplay, just to see how these systems are fitting together.
>>488266181Have you found the 3 item dupe bugs I was talking about before? Kek they’re like the simplest dupe bugs ever
>>488266420I don't care if players dupe in a single player game.
>>488266112Based. You love to see it.
decided my guy was going to be a space guy with a space gungot some basic ui done to switch projectiles
>>488266931Mogs my menu based game I worked on for 2 yearsIt's over
>>488266931nice terraria clone
>>488266691It brings me great joy to know someone got this severely butthurt over something on the internet.>>488266181>"want some apples?">"yay apples!">leaves without giving any applesKek
If you are feeling stressed about you're game, take a minute to watch a funny video and smile or think about a fun time you had once and smile.Here's one you might like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J---aiyznGQWell, take 'er easy! Bye.

>>488264639dumb, again
>>488268065I'm stressed about not knowing what to do with my life so I'm trying to keep myself busy. Gamedev is a part of that and is also a creative outlet which is nice.
>>488263242>40 to 60 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.One of them could be YOURS.
I think I should make my Yandere Simulator.

>>488270667ah, that's a bit disappointing but more power to you
great, now im depressed and i dont want to make games anymore
>>488270667Add the boob-toggle you had from your DD game and I'll buy 10 copies of your game
>>488270926in which direction though, like, you want them bigger?

>>488264556which of these got gamedev gfs?how many sales are needed to get one?

>>488270691The action log, she be alive me hearties
>>488272458so little reward...
is there a way to set up world UI in godot? or do i have to do some hacky work around with viewports?
>>488269754I understand what's wrong with your shader/materials, it's too glossy. looks like porcelain or the cover of a magazine.
>>488272561cause he's already making two games + the compiler and this was an attempt to get some of that cash money to keep them afloat. it wasn't a bad idea with jon's commentary, but no one really cares about that except for other gamedevs lol
>>488271910seems like an expensive effect
https://voca.ro/1chRklIc0LFrhttps://voca.ro/1cWGtHJJNcdP
>>488265393linear interpolation in motion always looks so bad, the right looks infinitely better
Say there was a "Learn game dev" bundle thing on humble bundle would that be decent enough for first steps? Also what modern engines would be good for a Drpg?
>>488273016updateyikes
>>488273415>ay there was a "Learn game dev" bundle thing on humble bundle would that be decent enough for first steps?Anything's good enough, i got started fiddling around with Adventure game studio, just like make game
So whatever happened to that whole Marnix roast thing? Everyone just forgot?
>>488272458lolI don't even feel bad, fuck this cunt
>>488264556I'm not here to succeed, I'm here because I like making games.I'm not chasing a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, sure a pot of gold would be nice, but I don't expect it to happen. I just want to make things that I think are interesting.
>>488273678He wishes. Nope. I'm not forgetting anything. :)TICK.TOCK.BELGIUM.WATCH.OUT. :)
>>488273415i would just recommend downloading an engine, making a small game and looking up tutorials as neededthose 7+ hr beginner tutorials always seemed like bike shedding to me.
>>488272458why would an obvious cash grab do well in sales?
I'm kind of curious if you guys are able to run this and if you think it runs well or not for what it is. Not mine obviously.https://wrobot.itch.io/jungledemo
>>488272458shocker...
>>488272458I'm sorry Jon... Not only I didn't buy first Braid as it was given to me by a friend who had some bundle keys from Steam, but I also didn't buy The Witness, as it was for free for PS4... And now... I won't buy Braid anniversary edition... because I don't believe in HD updates and anniversary editions...forgive me...
>>488273879objects close to the ground receive no indirect lighting from below whatsoever. pitch black. I wonder if this is an overzealous ambient occlusion effect at work or if there are perhaps faulty light probes placed underground in complete darkness and that's where this bizarre lighting is coming from.point being, I will never understand how people make tech demos / visual showpieces with obvious flaws like this. do they really not see it?
>>488272458remember when Blowfags itt were coping with the netflix deal? I feel vindicated
>Week 1Haha! C is fun! I can micromanage memory allocation!>Week 2>You have to subtract 0 to make your string an int
>>488274157The lighting isn't baked. It's screen space AO + godont's own realtime GI solution.
>>488274372what, there's no casting?
>>488274372your string? in C? anon...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jw6QVLuBpYHe once thought shipping braid anniversary edition would give him the will and the funds to build his own Operating System
>>488264556>PW wasn't a success
>>488273958I assume it's a radical attempt to improve steam marketabilitydeep discount a bunch of times, steam sees he sold some 100-200k copies, starts pushing it to more people at full pricehe's no newbie, it wouldn't make sense otherwise.
>>488274721I would buy my game on looks alone. I would not buy dragon sim, I already played lair.
>>488274157You're right, it looks more natural with that shit turned off.
why is vampire survivors so popular? i played it and it feels very bare bones. yes it's fun, but not special or more fun than other games. i think it also has horrible pacing and not really any fun upgrades.is it the usual fad of the month hype that makes everybody buy into it?
>>488274734so why does he choose to work on these small reward things?
>>4882739582 months and 75 off ? How do people who paid full price feel?
>>488274928If you don’t understand player psychology, you’re ngmi
>>488274721"""gameplay"""it's just random flying with a spastic "cinematic" camera that would prevent you from actually aiming at something to blow fire onto and such. this is a vague concept, not a game.
>>488274928Gambling. Dude was a casino game developer beforehand.
>>488274372You don't subtract 0, you subtract '0', i.e. 0x30
realtime lighting is impossible. i give up. i will make static worlds with pre-computed lighting.
>>488274872which feature was it? the SDF GI?
>>488274928its made by one of the companies that makes online casinos
>>488275174realistic, realtime, robust, pick two
>>488274849it's more that at that point from looking at the numbers he knew that the bulk of suckers who were willing to pay full price for it had already done it so this was a way to get the remaining people who wouldn't have bought it otherwise
>>488275223Yeah mainly the SDFGI was causing it to become black underneath leaves and shit. Doesn't really make sense to use it in outdoor scenes anyways. I think you'd get better results using post processing effects.
>>488275174I have come to the same observation but drew a very different conclusion: I'll just accept that lighting will kind of suck in my games because the world being dynamic is more important than realistic lighting. every game will have photorealistic lighting in about a decade so why rush in that direction NOW? why make static game worlds or 29 fps slop today when we will cross that threshold inevitably and then have realistic graphics forever, for free?I'm curious, what did you try?
>>488274935he was hoping for a big reward because once upon a time braid was a indie hit phenomenon
I hired voice actors for a few lines. $50 for all of it. Feels good man.
I think I'm bipolar
>>488275273>>488275158yeah, but there were always bullet hell games, why is especially this one so popular?
>>488276335I'd like to add:Visions of grandeurandAttention seeking behaviorto your diagnosis.
>>488274734Blow really pisses me off in a way that's hard to articulate

>>488274734it's outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KR5i98aCy0
>>488277306Yes. But crunching is a young man's game. Blow may just be getting too old for this.
I don't really like my game desu. The idea behind it is okay I guess, but I don't think I'm doing a very good job of implementing it. I was hoping this game could be sort of a "stepping stone" towards my dream game, but I'm slowly realizing that not only do I still not have the technical skills needed to make my dream game, I would most likely not be able to do it justice, and it would turn out really bad. There is literally nothing in this world that I want more than to create a good video game, but I just don't think I have the ability to do so.thanks for reading my blog
I will always respect Jonathan Blow for kickstarting the indie boom but objectively he's a retard and will never make another good game as long as he lives
>>488277782you're welcome branno
>>488277306>>488277770what do you mean by crunch?
I play my game, what do I think? "Damn, this is pretty good."Other people play my game, what do they think? "This is fucking awful, I hate the game, I hate the dev, I'm going to kill him."Yet, /agdg/ thinks they suffer more than me. The entire species is against me, I stand alone here.
>>488274734Jon Blow's Existential Nightmare
>>488277770>Blow may just be getting too old for this.How dare you? He's still gonna make his own programming language and build his own OS and release his game with a dev cycle of 20 years he will release in installments >In 2013, Blow began making a prototype for a single-player game that was not a puzzle game.In 2018, Blow said the game had 40–50 hours of playable content. He intends for Thekla to make the game using the game engine being developed for the Sokoban game, once it has matured. He plans to work on the game for 20 years, releasing it in installments. Each installment will make the game larger and more complex.
Is godot good yet?
>>488274734Why is this thread full of crabs now
>>488272458I don't like him but I appreciate his candor in this situation
>>488272458it's so jover for platformersnot even got a shoutout by souljaboi this time.
>>488278196he's like a less charming molyneux
>>488277926>You're wired to just take full advantage of the situation. You're like, you put everything into it. So when we say we worked 18 hour days, that's no exaggeration. Not at, not at all. I can edit all day. I can make, I can design all day.>I don't usually crunch real hard. I get it done in, like, I come in, I work, I go home. And a lot of people were living like, you know, really long hours, you know, the classic, we'll all come in at 1:00, and then goof around for a while, and then work late into the morn, you know, late at night
blow is an alternate reality of robert pelloni if bob's game was a success

>>488272458What happened to the blowtard that used to post the podcast where he talks about all the amazing projects he had lined up as proof that braid was doing well and we saying it wasn't selling were just fake memes?
Oh hell yeah, the new area is coming together really well. Level design is FUN.
Orblike chads will inherit the earth
>>488279571level design is hell. show it.
>>488272458I really don't see why you'd remake Braid, it feels insane to think that you'd make a decent chunk of change from this.
How do I innovate on the boomer shooter genre
>>488279330cris won
>>488274504can someone ban this retard
>>488272458You guys realize that his "terrible sales" is something like 20,000 sales, right? Most of you would kill to get sales that high. Braid Anniversary Edition is a failure because of Blow's expenses being too high relative to his income. In terms of raw numbers everyone here should be jealous of him.
>>488280331Fuck off crisEvery fucking board
>>488280223Drill it down to the core, quick movement, predictable enemy behaviour, emphasis on a varied toolset of weapons, then simply add juice, shake well and serve

>>488280341He's getting desperate with the mass replies
>>488280421Raw numbers don't mean that much if you're not making what you wanted to make, My game sold like dogshit because it was dogshit, but i released it at 17 and didn't have any expenses, Blow's got an entire company and numerous expensive projects on the backburner
where the FUCK are the Daggerfall-likes
>>488280223steal idea from doom mods after 30 years of people getting creative with the engine and the amount of shit not even mentioned in the cacowards.

>>488281023no you don't
>>488280690True, there's no denying Braid Anniversary was a failure, but the point is that it's ridiculous for people on agdg to gloat over the failure when they wouldn't ever get anywhere close to those raw numbers.

>>488282997the moth game? he gave up
whatever happened to pydev?
>>488281159It's not a contest, how hard is it to comprehend people derive enjoyment when a high profile person they dislike fails? It's human nature.If Haunted Chocolatier didn't sell(impossible ofc but lets pretend) people wouldn't be laughing about it in the same way because Eric is not a obnoxious insolent cunt like Jon.Reminder that once the witness came out and it was getting flack for how pretentious it is with people saying they don't get it he said that when someone does something revolutionary most people don't have the capacity to understand it and only centuries later people look back and recognize how genius something was. How much of a twat do you have to genuinely believe that's the case for your puzzle walking simulator? It's not just self indulgence, it's pure cope.
>>488283203You forgot to attach an image of a gay Japanese cartoon for gays to your post you big gay. How are people going to know you're a big gay who watches gay Japanese cartoons now?
>>488273127assuming you mean what I think you mean, look at the https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/129 2d in 3d demo project. It is a viewport thing, but it's officially supported as a thing you can do.
Today I will add roguelite mechanics to my game, with a dash of deck building.
>>488281938what publisher?
>>488283638sorry...
>>488282803He's making an anime game, dumb rightoid
Today I have so much stuff I need to do I can't decide where to even start
1. Japanese cartoons2. (You)3. gay sex4. Poke All Toads
>>488283584>he will ban you for mentioning The Looker
>>488280421It's ultimately untenable to run a gamedev business, that relies on real income, out of bubbleland California. 100k+/y minimum per head? For a product with sales that are ultimately completely location-independent? You are competing for workers with FAGMAN companies that will pay someone 400k to work for 2 hours a day. Meanwhile, you'd be overpaying at 50k/y even in developed countries in Europe and Asia. This is not a remotely stable arrangement. It can't survive the withdrawal of infinite free credit. I have been noticing that a lot of this "gaming industry recession" is really a reflection of a general bubble in Americans printing too much money to pour into their entertainment/propaganda industries as a whole, much more so than a general global games-specific bubble. You see the same pattern (jobs that are grossly overpaid on a global scale crumbling down) going on with movies, visual artists, writers, voice actors, etc. Notice how Nintendo (Japan) has been entirely unaffected by this "collapse".

"Corruption" is just how social structures work.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUUUUUCCKKKKK GODOT AND ITS EXTERNAL RESOURCE CANT EDIT BULLSHITJust fuck what a nightmare of shit when you end up with a spiderweb dependencies in materials and shaders that you can't change because of godots bullshit, and then you find that one workaround where you can change the imported material/shader code and it overwrites everything everywhere because of the spiderweb of dependencies. Fuck the GLB scene format. If you can't configure all of godots settings externally before import then you shouldn't lock the fucking file and design your retarded engine around using external prefab file formats.
>>488295118Sorry, I was watching the female artistic gymnastic Olympics instead of making progress.

>>488299987I didn't forget anything, godot has several traps built into the engine that aren't explained anywhere, making things unique is one of them where it bloats the fuck out of your file size and memory usage because like the name says, it's fucking unique. Every instance of it is unique.Another trap is that by default it saves everything as a .tres file which is a TEXT RESOURCE, it baloons your files by over 10x in size and makes load times a fucking nightmare as it parses the text instead of a binary which is the .res format.The decisions of how they designed this thing is based around some ideal world where the engine is complete and has full external tool support, meanwhile we're like 30 years away from that being viable.

>>488302843>clone repoFrom where, retard? It doesn't matter if you do it manually or let git do, you'll need to make a backup somewhere.
Finally ran into a godot but that effects me.https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/74918
>>488302025Why did you expect a resource made unique to still be linked to the original somehow? That's like being confused that ctrl+c ctrl+v'ing an image created a duplicate file which together take up double the space.Also you seem to be confusing "local to scene" and "make unique", they aren't the same thing. If you make something unique it'll still act like any regular resource that is shared between instances, local to scene will be making copies at runtime for each scene instance.From the looks of it you accidentally made texture files within materials unique instead of just the materials themselves which are pretty tiny since they're essentially just referencing a bunch of texture files and smashing them together, you can fix this by going into the texture and saving it as a proper file.

>>488303565I extended Qodot to do something like that automatically for me, it's kinda convoluted but I can give it an enum that is then automatically translated into a choice property with properly named options. It can also split overly long enums into several choice properties that are then merged back when importing the .map back to Godot.My honest advice is to just make things as much as possible within Godot and just use Qodot for the base layout because you'll always run across these weird edge cases with each thing you add.
>>488303829and you have no game. funny how that works, right?
>>488303972Don't project, anon
>>488303972I have like 10 games or more idk.
>>488304058let's see them! :)
>>488303492The very nature of git makes it so that you always have a local repository because that's the only way to push to remote to begin with.Git in itself is not a file backup but the concept of remotes effectively work as such, plus anyone who doesn't realize the value of being to review what changed and being able to revert anything is just a massive idiot, it's a huge boon to productivity and clarity.
>>488303925Yeah, that's what I think I am going to end up doing. I wanted to set locker contents based item paths in properties, but it seems difficult. I'll just define tags, then have those import different sets of items, maybe from random pools.
>>488303308I didn't do any of that shit. I somehow found a way to overwrite the default imported material of an inherited scene through the shader editor without using surface override and without making anything unique. This was half a year ago though so I don't remember what the hell I was doing back then.

>>488307991i got tweet from the new Mojito the Cat game on my timeline organically
Playtesting and debugging has finished for now. All of the general systems work as intended. There was one last thing that had to be changed with a variable being misspelled for one niche thing which was only visual and not for the backend (mostly bringing up a stock price), but it's fun.
Life is over for me. I've lost all my passion, desire, drive, excitement towards life, making games, building a life for myself. I feel exhausted and depleted.
>>488305101I didn't say I got a bloated file size, I said it will happen if I use make unique.I said I have a spiderweb of dependencies due to the fact that you can't edit anything without making them unique.Also see picture for what happens when you break inheritance to an imported scene, everything in the scene gets saved as a text resource in the scene file which makes file size 10x. Godot's core design philosophy is broken and anyone who doesn't do a deep dive like this will end up having to remake their game from falling into so many traps.
>>488304034>Don't projectEveryone here is making a project though
>>488308998everyone except the lolidevs
>>488309230I'm literally working on my project right now, arghhhh
i give up
>>488308883>I said I have a spiderweb of dependencies due to the fact that you can't edit anything without making them unique.the point of components is that you just stick in and use, editing them should be rare.You type like Awokendev, the engine has faults but you're a noob so a lot is your fault, you have to stop getting mad and instead realize what you're doing wrong.
>>488308883The scenes are bloated because you are saving them in the scenes themselves instead of their proper files, I already told you the quick solution but you insist on being stupid.Also you shouldn't be doing any of this to begin with, the model file import dialogue lets you specify if you want materials to be embedded or to be saved as separate files, and if you want to replace certain materials with external overrides in the Materials tab.The 3D workflow needs a lot of work which they acknowledge but you're running into basic bitch issues because you didn't look at the import dialogue, it's not the deep dive you think it is.
First "quest" working. This is going to be the main driver of my "vertical slice" I'm pushing for by DD. Next going to work on some mapping to hide the quest items in, then I'll move on to some better AI/combat.
>>488310124Godot fully supports editing individual materials for imported models but the workflow isn't very clear and the editor does lead newbies the wrong ways, which then go on to bitch about the engine being broken despite the functionality being there.
>>488309230That reminds me, I remember seeing a game called lolirapesim on /agdg/ since just before the 8ch split. Whatever happened to him? Granted, that was like 12 years ago so I assume the project is dead
I wrote a bunch of ideas down on paper. Does that count as progress?
>>488302843I have my main drive, and backup to 2 physical externals every week. Unlikely that all 3 of my drives would crash at the same time. I dont trust putting backups on the internet.
>>488310308They tell you outright in the documentation that saving materials as external saves them as text resources.
is this music up to your standards https://voca.ro/1fem5ncKHGN7
>>488310537I see we've got another dialogic chad in the room with us today
>>488310901woo oh yeah that sounds pretty good
>>488310593if this is the issue then the correct approach is to add the material from the file browser to every scene that needs it, thus user error.
>>488310901Hello toby fox
>>488310767Imported models have their textures extracted into proper filetypes but you can also tell the importer to keep them embedded. Materials stay embedded but you can use Actions... -> Extract Materials which will create editable material files and automatically override the imported model's materials. It's actually kinda hard to save texture files since the editor constantly complains about it belonging to another file so you have to get out of your way to do it.I think the main issue is that the editor simply doesn't tell you the importer window matters, you're far more likely to fiddle with the inspector because that's what you're conditioned to doing with most of the workflows, it's more a UI problem than anything.
>>488310537What are you making this in?Learning to make a drag and drop UI scares me
>>488312594>which will create editable material files and automatically override the imported model's materialsYeah and it will create them as text resource files > 10x increase in file size.I haven't tried it myself yet, that's what the documentation says.
>>488310710YES
>>488312870You are mixing up materials and textures, materials are tiny shader files, textures are separate files by default which the material only uses as a reference unless you intentionally make the texture a unique resource (which will then be in the import folder as a .ctex). You don't need to ever save a texture file as .tres unless you are doing the completely wrong solution of bruteforcing your way through 5 warning messages because you aren't aware of the proper workflow.
>>488292623Yeah it's the jews who are stopping a remake of a game from 2008 from selling gangbusters in 2024, i mean it had commentary! Clearly worth full price
>>488310710It's a start, if nothing else. Most idea guys don't even get that far.
>>488310901Sounds like a mix of Undertale and an anime opening.
>>488312863Godot. I used this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V79YabQZC1sIt's good but very dense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity_and_mental_health
>>488313619If breaking inheritance from a scene saves the whole thing as a text file then I would expect extracting materials to save everything they depend on, including the textures to get saved as text as well. It's not like godot can pick and choose which parts of a GLB to load.But I will try it and report back.
>>488314802>It's not like godot can pick and choose which parts of a GLB to load.You can pick and choose exactly what you want from the GLB in the import window by telling it to skip nodes. Each individual material and mesh can be saved to individual files in the import window and each material can be overridden with already existing materials in the project. Use the damnable import window.

How do I cope with not being good at anything? As I enter the later years of my life I'm having to come to terms with the fact that I wasted my youth playing video games when I could have been doing something productive and developing myself as a person. Nope, instead all I have to show for myself are tens of thousands of hours played across various games on my Steam library.I realize I can start today and try to improve, but even if I do I'm never going to be as good as someone who's been working since they were a child, constantly improving their abilities year after year. I feel like I've lost the race before it even began. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be "the best", but I'd like to at least be at a level where what I produce can be admired for its quality.

it's ovear.
>>488310124hey i'm watching the olympics actuallywe just got a gold earlierGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD
>>488318746The first 3 seconds of that trailer immediately killed all my interest in the game, shame since the rest of the trailer is pretty good.

>>488272458I always suspected Braid as being a piece of shit that was at the right place, at the right time, with the right cute gimmick. Even at the time nobody gave a fuck about the deep meaning it supposedly had and Jon was depressed about that even while the game sold extremely well. Now that people aren't impressed with gimmicky shit, at least old gimmicky shit, it didn't sell well. It's not a master piece that holds the test of time. I still respect Jon and think he does hold the key to success. Which is being super autistic and fill a niche that isn't being flooded. He was smart to ditch platforming. I have no clue how tough the puzzle genre is but would think his next game would sell decently well. But ya, Braid, Meatboy, Fez, all those games fucking piss me off. I mean I'm happy they all got rich. It's not jealousy, I'm happy for Jon Blow rants. The games were just shit. "No it's told out of order and you collect memories!" HOLY FUCK I'M FALLING ASLEEP JUST TYPING THAT
>>488322717It was other anon. I saw guy riding the moment I finished animating it. Because he's RIDING anyway. If you want to see dicks underneath - it's your choice, I don't really care and won't judge.

>>488322663Thanks cris, I appreciate you.
>>488323551Yeah I see ads for it all the time on mobile
>>488323551how did he ever decide that using full masks like that would ever be a good idea
>>488323551yeah, lifeless planet is like a decade old, wtf are the still marketing it???
>>488323451Ya, I disagree with a lot of Jon's decisions but I don't consider him a hack. And I consider almost everyone a hack. It's hard for me to judge puzzle games but I heard it's great. And it checked off all my boxes for success.
>>488323954I think GOG is running those ads based on what's popular
>>488323889You don't like masks?
>>488323889>don't have to do anything for lip sync>get the gas mask liking crowd inSeems like a smart move to me if you won't have hot girls at all.
game idea thats stuck in my head, a survival game thats set in a lucid dream> world has an abstract aesthetic to it, like a weird mishmash of colorful rooms and dark nature> gather resources and craft tools, but the tools don't work quite how you'd think because of dream logic. some tools dont even exist in real life and you have to figure out what they do> hunger, stamina etc aren't an issue, your sole task is to keep your character asleep and dreaming for as long as possiblei think it would be hell to develop but i think this concept has potential, anyone got any ideas to expand on this?
>>488323889I think it looks cool>>488324202Also this. Probably saved a ton of time.

when you give feedback do you make a distinction of whether the game is financially viable?can a game be good and fun but unlikely to succeed commercially?
>>488325504What a retarded question lmao
>>488325504I'm patronizing when the dev is retarded and knows itI'm aggressive when the dev is retarded and doesn't know itI'm aggressive when the dev is not retarded and knows itI'm patronizing when the dev is not retarded and doesn't know it
And that's it for progress. I see why most of my dev work is done during the hours others are asleep. I dislike being seen when I'm working on it, especially with what I'm currently working on. Just feels uncomfortable being walked in on when I'm drawing women. Anything else as well as I just don't like being watched specifically by my dad who will just stand there and watch in general situations which feels awkward.
>>488326405ok
>>488325504I'm in a gamedev marketing Discord server and you see that shitty games don't get any help, because people know it will be a waste of their time as the game is not gonna sell anyway.
How do you come up with original game ideas? All I do is playing games and then wanting to make a copy. But the motivation is usually low as I can just play existing games.

>>488325504no. i've actually thought about this in the past where i've given feedback for games that are clearly ngmi but never really mentioned that they should just make something else instead. if it's good and fun for enough people then it'd likely end up being a commercial success sooner or later. unless the dev puts it up for free. i don't feel most games on here are gmi at this point in time. sure a few show potential but most just don't look like they'll make it

>>488329098There's a lot more to a game than how commercially successful it can be, the experience gained making anything is invaluable and builds towards better things. The only ones I feel bad/mad about are the stagnant devs that have been around here forever with abysmal progress.

>>488331640This is true, I ironically coom post but I do it because it makes me giggle not to be malicious.

It's hard to believe that for almost a decade, the dominant combat system for JRPGs was ATB (the worst system designed by man). It's proof that nobody gave a shit about combat in these games.

Want an example of a terrible name ruining a game? Here you go. Despite being decently popular with youtubers, it's literally impossible to find this game (Dungeon Clawler) using search. All they had to do was call it "Dungeon Claw", but no, they had to be clever and make it unsearchable, unpronounceable, and unspellable. Absolute idiots.
>>488334420>I antagonizednot me and what he said wasn't offensive to you, merely stated the facts, you got defensive for no reason>they responded politelythat was passive aggressive thoughover.

Adding some random junk for my maintenance tunnels. Because I plan most of the game to be avoiding a spooky monster collecting items, this feels like it's going in the right direction. At first I was just making boring 1x1 hallways, but I realized that is really boring. So I'm making most parts 2x2 or bigger.
>>488336013It doesn't. Most published games are ones that got almost no feedback on demo day. The ones that do get feedback end up being worked on more in response to feedback instead of published.
>>488335315To demonstrate my process anon! I did it for you!!!I also find it's good to write out my ideas. It helps cement them and confirms that what I'm saying makes sense.Also making these gifs doesn't take very long.>>488336230Thank you :)

I don't believe in wishlist farming crap. A good game will sell itself. I'm going to put up a Steam page when my game has a shippable demo and then ship the full game when it's done.

>>488341353>Any recommendations on how to get playtesters?Not /agdg/ demo day that's for sure
>>488342301Not sure about submitting it to demo day because it's not a web game so people would have to download a 10GB exe and just trust that it's not malware. Possibly though
>>488298972So is this like the thing in Unity where I delete a spritesheet and drag and drop one with the exact same name in and it automatic gets referenced to whatever was it using before? Except in Godot it doesn't work?
>>488341237A pixie.
>>488334836You need to have the Chris Chan attitude where you just say "fuck it, I make what I want and people who don't like it are wrong". Unless you actually need a lot of sales.
>>488342860same thing as a fairy
>>488329313Not sure what I can say. I can describe what I did but it was quite a few years ago.I used LibreSprite/Aseprite, I drew it black and white then added 1 shade of gray. I usually draw the lines with a mouse by clicking and holding then clean up them pixel by pixel.I tried to keep simple and consistent round shapes for cuteness, so her face is a circle and the eyes are circles and the bangs and bandana tips try to have similar shapes with similar volumes.When I draw pixel art I usually draw on 1 frame then create a new duplicated frame and draw on that as if they were save states then I move back and forth between the frames to see if the changes I'm making are actually improving the drawingThe rest would be general art advice I think.
>>488341353HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA genuinely cant wait for you to publish this and get 3 sales HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I hate being so indecisive. It took me so long to select a style for my character. I'm still partly on the fence as there is a second style I also like. What a hard day of devving it's been. I want to rest but I have to keep devving.Past me why didn't you work harder on it!
>>488343312?
>>488344031It's normal to go over a bunch of concepts before settling on a design. You can always repurpose older stuff too so it's not a complete waste.
Changed my inventory ui to display in world space, would it make sense for it to always show, or only in a 'open inventory' screen?
>>488327976I just use the git command line interface locally"git init" inside a directory and commit/do other git operations normally but without pushing to some remote repository. Since I work alone it does the job.
>>488344817Unless you *always* need it visible for some reason, just half it be invisible by default, otherwise it'll inevitably block people's ability to see other things in game.

How do you guys get to the point you can make a game in 72 hours? I want to participate in game jams but I know I can't spit out a game that fast.
>was going to ask a question>thought you guys would shame me for asking a noob question>googled it more>found an answerthanks /agdg/
damn boyos, time for a break and coffee
>>488345923Jammers cheat and all use pre-built games they just reskinned to fit the particular theme
>>488345923I too would like to know this.
>>488343696Remember thatAseprite is FREEFREE IF YOU COMPILE IT WITH THE SOURCE CODEand that also if you're unable to do that, you're better off dropping the whole gamedev thing and starting a programming course instead because you're eating more than what you can chew
>>48834592372 hours? 10 minutes are enough for a game
>>488346050I've suspected many do this as well. They already have a bunch of stuff premade so all they need to do is combine it together. Then they all act like they did it in 3 days and are utter pro's that seemingly have 0 successes, curious
>>488346129Woah is that an attempt at black-pilling thinly disguised as overly-generalized, garbage advice? In agdg? Surely not.
>>488263540I know you are trying to illustrate a point, but I don't get it. there are multiple possible interpretations, so just speak the words
>>488345923Just participate on simple no commitment itch.io jams and get practice.I recommend using Godot for 2D games in jams.The most important thing rather than being able to dev fast is to be able to manage the scope of your game and to cut corners to meet the deadline.

Your game gets 10k reviews but in return every single game on the /agdg/ list that's in early access or released has there review count 0'd out and any profits the devs made 0'd out as well. Would you take such an offer?

>>488347356>going off-scriptI was just thinking how VtMB is a let down because it teases at giving you a ton of freedom and then makes you do really stupid shit as part of the plot. Almost all JRPGs, Zelda included, are Macguffin-fests where it boils down to " you gotta do thing because reasons "Megaman Legends manages to feel pretty natural and anime throughout which is impressive for a game. Something really hands-off like Fallout 1 or Diablo or King's Field also lends itself nicely to solo-gamers preferred play-styles

People who are serious about making games either made it or had to quit and do something else. It's like boiling a pot of water and leaving the scum behind.
Hi, everyone. Amateur game dev here. I wanted to share this trailer for a RPG I'm making. Hope you guys enjoy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14kFoSxsiBU

>>488352721I think you meant to say godot.
>>488265393>>488273368To me it seems similar to modeling, where you only add detail where you need it. The beginning and ends of an animation are more important than the middle.maybe that's schizophrenic though

>>488352379>If you've been here for more than a few years then you will have noticed that the quality of projects that get posted has been going down every single yearI'm new here, what are some old /agdg/ games that I should check out?

Rigging fun.
>>488353394>what are some old /agdg/ games that I should check out?Look at the steam games list in the OP. Although I really question if some of them came from here, I think it's a general 4chan list, not an agdg list.
>>488337930Yes.Yeeeeeees!t. sickos
>>488345923it's just a matter of unsurprisingly putting in more hours. Things that were once hard become automatic, low brain power tasks that you can string together efficiently. You don't get caught up much trying to figure things out and instead just make the game
>>488345923It's not that hard, think simple
I like playing my game more than devving it
>>488354547It's a general list
>>488355126>Things that were once hard become automaticI find this isn't true if you're a 1MA trying to do all aspects of game dev. Do art for a month or two and you don't remember shit about programming and the little quirks of how the engine works. Do programming and you forget the traps of asset creation and how to get around blender/substance painter etc.

When crabs tell you 3D is too hard, it's merely so that you don't make something like >>488337930They want you stuck in 2D pixelized hell. For a 2D game to look appealing, you need world class pixel art illustration skills. For a 3D game to look appealing you need basic 3D modelling skills and that's it.
>>488345923By having abysmally low scope like every other jam game
>>488352465seems cool
>>488346682game not required, you just have to be sociable and a little bit funny, also have self-respect, take care of your body (which is included in the self-respect part), and also have a profession that seems like you're progressing in it so she can feel safe or at least fantasize that you'll be rich in the future or something like that. it's easy! this is for both girls, humans are very very similar - it doesn't matter how they look, so aim in the hot one i guess.
>>488350450>>488350001i have no idea how games usually do them but i just raise the Y level of the floor for every pixel the character moves past them on the X axis if that makes senseif it doesnt make sense then just figure it out yourself like i did u mongrel

>>488356347I'm a solo dev and theres no situation where I'd ever stop programming for 1 month to do other things. I don't do much art but even then I still touch it more than once a month probably. I've never forgotten how to use paint.net, and illustrator I have stopped forgetting things because I've used it enough too. To me this sounds like "I'm not putting in enough hours", everyone has their own circumstances though.

You guys hate me but I love you all so much
>>488352465game looks good. battles remind me of Mirrored Soul, a game made by a guy here. never played it but the aesthetic for the fight layout graphics feels familiarish to it.got weird recommendations on the youtube sidebar though, videos about psychopath kills and videos about fags...... anon please tell me you're straight and anti fag. the game looks good, please don't be one of them
Is using readonly variables utterly useless for gamedev? I haven't been able to find a use for them..
>>488360603why
>>488360427the only point is that the first animation is intentionally bad and makes poor use of timing since a closing hand will naturally spend less time in the middle position and for some reason has one less frame to spendthis is such a common thing with these art quick tips they should start being shamed for it, where the "wrong" thing is wrong for completely different reasons than what the tutorial is trying to say because it's intentionally made worse
>>488355083>>488358559yeahhbudy>>488356553yeah just come and do 3d man, everyone should do it>>488359639brake lights are there, will add dirt and blast/bullet marks etc. car interior is coming too, I plan to add characters but its not a major priority.>>488360258sand worm (tremors) are planned and will hopefully be in the next dd release. also sandstorms would be dope
>>488361014Technically struct fields should always be readonly once created due to weird behaviors with GetHashCode once theyre indexed (eg non mutable)In practice, you want stuff to be inlined and mutable (if you have to make your own structs for perf reasons). Genrally if you have to ask when a language feature is useful, you wont need it
>>488361419Got it, thanks.
>>488361014It's the conclusion that if there are variables then there must be something that is constant as its counterpart. People have tried coming up with proper reasons for its existence but there are none, it's the programming equivalent of Luigi that must serve as the other guy implied by the word "bros".
It's not much progress, but it's my progress.After so much talk, this is my first real step. I feel pretty great right now!
>>488361225post your animation
we should have game engines generals instead of this general, it will be at least to some degree productive and helpful. /agdg/ is just a discord chat for trannies and furries.
I'm so tired. So, so tired. I can feel the exhaustion. Several days where I got ~5 hours sleep. Staying up to like 3:30am - 5:30am before going to bed some time after devving. All this extra devving so I can finally have a demo ready. Time and time again I set out to have a demo done but never get it done, it's been months since I attempted to have a demo made this year. Why does it feel so hard? Am I just being too much of a perfectionist? I have so much still to do and no idea on the difficulty of some of the tasks. I'm tried, I just want to sleep. The exhaustion has grown enough that I'm now tired before it's even midnight all while sitting in my chair. My sleep schedule seemingly getting worse while my tiredness has now arrived before I've even been awake for 12 hours. Why am I trying so hard? Do I really believe I'll get the opportunity of success I desire? What if I don't? I don't think my game is going to succeed anyways, it's just not good enough. I'm tired.
>>488362361wtf does "having a demo" even mean? you don't have your game in a constant state of reasonable playability? how does that even happen?
>>488362295uwu
>>488362361Finish demo and play it, then fix things that are shit or dont work.Thats how Ive planned on doing with my current project, else I lose interest and begin yet another project.
>>488347153>>488362361maybe stop attributing wishy-washy humblebrag words like "perfectionist" to yourself and you'll get something done with your sorry little gameseriously whenever I read this word the guy is making the complete opposite of perfection, who the fuck are you trying to fool
>>488362295is there VN dev general (renpy) on some board?
I turned the current save system into a multi-slot one so that the top level save could store long term progression, and each run in one file.
Haven't made progress in two weeks, what a disgrace. Please forgive me /agdg/...
>>488362954no, make todo list and finish one topic at time.
>>488361865no, post YOUR animation

>>488365515that's a studio game. I'm one person.My strength is gameplay, not writing.
>>488325504It just has to have an inaccessible element that can't be ignored, like being in some language nobody knows, or featuring extreme fetishes.
>>488365683Until you've shipped games, your strength is nothing.
I get a mini heart attack every time I see a game that at first glance looks even remotely analogous to mine. I need to stop being so insecure.
>>488364308its already posted there on top of the chain, 3 image animation is better than 4, both artistically and functionally, it's also more optimized and experienced pixel artist can save time by making less frames
I spent about two hours puttin this together, got a pitch to make, fellas.G-Man is a game that has both stealth and action. Your job is to go into the most dangerous situations and get the job done. First there's stealth mode. In each room, you'll have to sneak around enemies and find ammo packs to reload. You might also find things for bonus points like pieces of evidence and hostages to rescue. Watch out for death traps and other hazards! Once you're confident about the route you'll make within a room, it's time for action mode! Blast away all your enemies and shoot at props or devices to activate them to take down enemies for even more bonus points. Once you've reached the end of a stage, you'll need to escape, so make sure the route you want to take is clear. Jump down to safety in a getaway car and speed off into the night. Each stage would probably take between two to six minutes to clear, and there could probably be 20 stages total, cycling through five stages four times, with a different layout and tougher minimum requirements each time. Some hostages may not be gagged, which is dangerous because if they see you, they'll call out for help and blow your cover.You'll be going up against the usual - mobsters, robbers pulling off a heist, street gangs, cultists up to no good, even aliens. The government only wants the best of the best - do you have what it takes to be a G-Man?Thoughts? Questions? I'd like this to be my first game, I think it's simple enough to work.
>>488366162I was never a fan of the dick tracy mobster aesthetic, sorry but look for another publisher.
>>488365987lul ok, you don't have animations and you're pretending to be somebody else, sure kiddo, very nice
>>488366162Looks like a clone of those old cartoons, french or something
>>488366498Not claiming anything. You were the one (probably) claiming that image was bullshit, so it's you who should post proof that you can do better
>>488366524>zoomers think the word clone means evocative ofA game can only be a clone of another game
>>488366524My main inspirations were games Nintendo themselves actually developed, that art direction of theirs. The main character was partly inspired by Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle from The French Connection.Also I should have mentioned this, but you can see sprites of a flash from multiple directions. This is a split-second warning to the player of which direction a shot or hazard is about to come from. So for example if he flashes three times, two from the right and one from the left, that means two shots will zip from the right and then one from the left. I figure to make the game more exciting and tough that these projectiles would be FAST, so the character flash is stylish and provides necessary feedback to respond in time.
>>488364648>if it's piracy then it must be a free gamewhy the fuck are you making this assumptionhow did you reach this
I'm gonna say, I love this lifestyle!
>>488366953You mean you are making testers pay you instead of giving them paychecks?
I killed 79 fruit flies in my room and now there's only 1 or 2 left. I'm GMI.
>>488367398I had this problem once, I put them all in a film canister and put them outside
>>488366162That's quite cute. I'd buy

>>488368083>he doesn't rent a room instead of the whole housengmi
>>488367035yes?
>>488366738I'm claiming that any piece of work with extra effort can look better, so that's no brainer, the problem iss when you want to have consistent animations your workload increases dramatically. Show me your game with extra inbetweens. Oh, you don't have one? So it costs extra effort to make one? Color me surprised!
$2.99released 13 months agoPositive (16)
>>488367398stop leaving waste in your goddamn roomunless you're in a single room apartment with no outside disposal, maybe I'll forgive you then.
>>488368483you have 13 months to tell my why I should play this instead of Super Meat Boy or Celeste (not that I'd play either game anyway)
>>488368653it's shorter, and cheaper
>>488369017I know you're being ironic but this is a good lesson to learn.Nobody is going to say "this game is worse but cheaper, therefore I'll buy the cheaper game". Not unless we're talking AAA game price versus indie and even then, that's an awful selling point.If it's free? Maybe, depends on the platform. Not great for steam.
>>488368653It's not that your reasoning is wrong, it's that every game I've seen here is worse than some similar existing game.
>>488361225>>488359349>>488368456You seem confused.The art tip is saying that it's easier to edit keyframes into inbetweens than it is to draw inbetweens from scratch.It is not saying that using extra inbetweens will result in better animation.I hope this helps.
>>488368483>platformer where the levels aren't strongly tied to any sort of thematic design like Celeste's mountainclimbing, SMB's areas or VVVV's spaceshipThat's the conclusion I got from watching those 30 seconds. Shame too, because visually it's not too bad and sort of rseembles the End is Nigh
>>488368483>$2.99No one buys games with a sticker price lower than $10. If your game is worth $3 you're better off saying $10 and marking it down to $3 during sales.
>>488369567The game posted is so much more like meatboy/celeste/other platformers like that, that I wouldn't compare it to /agdg/ games. A lot of /agdg/ games differentiate themselves enough to at least trick someone into thinking it isn't derivative.
>>488369993retard
>>488368483>No genocide>Inexplainable double jumpI think I'll play Red Lil instead
>>488369250Yeah, pretty much. Never say anything remotely negative when describing your game on steam/trailer.
Day 8 of working on the same bug
>>488370234Shouldn't have created it to begin with.
>tfw the more juice you add the more fun your game isall of you anti-juicers were wrong
>>488370297Unsurprisingly, visuals matter to the game experience. Gameplay supremacy fags on suicide watch.
>>488370234make it a featureThen you've been working on a feature for 8 days
>>488370282>>488370603I'm just trying to recreate this drift effect in godot
>>488370850damn, chibi robo looks like THAT!?
>>488370850that looks horrible and obnoxious though
>>488370297>>488370453How do I add juice to a Victorian-era naval procurement and construction management game?
>>488370961maybe so but i want to implement that feel into this demo im working on.
Idea guys, what would be some fun physics based toy mini-games beyond stacking crates on top of each other or putting crates on a see-saw?
>>488370850Shouldn't this be straight forward? Just have a velocity Vector3, and instead of instantly changing it per frame you have to apply a change in force that 'turns' it.
>>488370850hello kids and welcome to game theorytoday, we analyze the plug shape on her tail to reveal that she lives in Indiathanks for watching
>>488371224That is the conclusion I came to. But the method of turning it? I have no idea which is the best/right way. I tried using Quaternions to rotate the velocity vector and that wasn't as smooth as liked though not sure if I was doing it wrong. My current approach is to use slerp with an easing function to scale the rate at which the velocity vector turns. The duration and feel of the drift depends on both the rotation speed and the duration of the drift (dependent on deceleration). I wish I had someone to help with this.
>>488369639The top animation is intentionally bad with bad timing and less frames and is therefore a dishonest comparison.
>>488370297Play any game on mute and you will realize why your "pure gameplay" game sucks.
>>488371602>intentionally bad with bad timingTHAT'S THE POINT
>>488371843I play all games on mute and 99% feel better when they're muted. Checkmate, audiofag
>>488371506Maybe this is completely off base, because I have no experience in drift mechanics, but my first thought would be to add this frame's movement vector to the running total vector, and average it. That way, it creates a natural turn where it fights against the current velocity. I imagine for game feel you would want to tweak it depending on some factors.
>>488371231>lives in indiaNot enough faecal matter
>>488371506>>488371224Wouldn't it be easier to just lerp the overall movement speed based on how much the player turns the character? Like when you turn - if the new direction is a certain number of degrees or more different from the original heading - it applies a delay before fully changing the velocity.
>>488371602It's bad, but it's also the exact kind of mistake an amateur animator would make."It's an in between, so obviously i should just draw a new frame precisely in the middle of the key frames, right?"The tip is advising against always doing that, and it's good advice.
>>488371506I'm being serious, you could try dming the dev on twitter and ask him directly. He seems like the type to respond to an honest question.
>>488371856The point is that it's intentionally bad and doesn't actually represent any sort improved workflow?
>>488371191Fit all the bodies in the mass grave.
>>488372253Even if the bottom animation only had 3 frames, or you timed the top animation differently, the bottom animation would still be better.
>no (You)s on agdg>no likes on Twitter>no matches on Tinder>no job>no moneyI fucking love my life!
>>488371843Actually, I don't add sound effects until everything else is juiced, so if something feels great without sound effects, I know it's about to feel that much better when I add them. But you're right, for some games, the sound design is 80% of the juice.
>>488372103Is there a video or something explaining this? I am not sure how I would apply this running total vector to my velocity>>488372130I'm not sure about lerp but it does look like there is a delay but I thought that was just based on an easing function making the character's turn rate ramp up quickly as their speed decreased.That said I don't understand both approaches but will look into them in a bit.>>488372241I messaged them on discord but they never responded, rip
>>488371506It will never feel good because it's a shit mechanic that inherently feels bad and the "dev" is just some twitterbait artist that doesn't put any thought into a game past the visuals.
>>488373048>>488373048>>488373048new thread
>>488372924>I am not sure how I would apply this running total vector to my velocityThat is your current velocity. Say it's Vector3.FORWARD with a max magnitude of 3. When you press left, say your speed is 1, it would be multiplied by delta then added to your velocity. I think that averaging would be incorrect, so instead you just need to limit the length of your vector to the max magnitude you want, in this case 3.
>>488296024Janky skeleton multiplayer sandbox.Concept would be, that there is an mostly empty world with shit laying around and there is no UI. You play as a skelly and left and right mousebuttons would stretch out each arm. Crafting is done by picking up items by touching/holding them, which then makes other items showing where you could "attach" held items. Some crafting requires two or more skellies to hold up items and attaching stuff at the same time.There is also no chat or names.
