How do we reinvent 2d platformers?
Same gob, new sprite
So the default character movement component in Unreal would be equivalent to Rigidbody3d in Godot??
Honestly though, it's all up from here.
how do i do that thing where something moves really fast but then gets slower and slower as it gets to its destination>>488576186don't i already did, so stop stealing my idea
>>488576246how old are you? this is sad
Ok which one of you dweebs did this?
time for another round1-5 art6-0 code
i have oop fatigue but i can't fight the engine
>>488574469That works, thanks.>>488575443Some days. Progress is always slow and this general gets particularly rancid when no one is posting any, so yknow.>>488575560I don't see how it would.>>488575916>>488576246The Character Movement Component is a single part of the Character Actor. The CMC is more analogous to the Character Controller in Unity, which no one really uses because it's not good and a custom controller that uses Rigidbody is just better.The CMC is packed to the GILLS with functionality, unlike the Unity Character Controller.
Show me Godot's greatest game
>>488576436What's stopping you from implementing top?
>>488576574We’re still waiting for Godot.

>>488576682i'd be fighting the engine
>>488576186You play the goons trying to stop "The Mario"
>>488576730this joke will never get old
>>488576772Just make your own engine?
>>488576532So is it equivalent to rigid body in Godot? I have never used unity or unreal before so I don't understand how it relates to the character controller in Unity.
>>488576772How so?
I have too much progress
>>488576746>unless I get killedHex has been placed.
>>488576976>He thinks making an engine excludes you from struggling with it.My sweet summer child
>>488576746>unless I get killedThe CIA is going to get him, calling it now.
>>488577105Genuinely, I have no idea how Godot works or what's inside it, so I can't help you much.As best as I can explain it as a beginner, and Actor is a bucket in the game that carries functionality inside it in the form of Components. Actors inherit functionality from other Actors above them in the hierarchy, as well.The Character Movement Component is a peice of functionality inside the Character Actor that gives it qualities such as friction, move speed and acceleration, jumping, walking, flying, and falling states, jumping functionality, gravity, custom movement events, et cetera et cetera.

Are there any engines made specifically for tile based games?
>>488577205>>488577695Skill issue.
Progress. Removed the period joke. Characters in the background moving along with the dialogue is still on the todo-list. Bonus phobia included.

>>488577815There are a couple. Depends on what kind of game you want.
>>488576436oop isn't real. what you're complaining about is just programming.
refactoring the entire game from scratch has made me go completely insane. the upside though is that i'll have a much better game by the end of the month.
My game is getting too political.
>>488564783 #Kek sounds like hes coping and malding to me. Those profits from the game didnt yield enough to make up for the cost, unless of course he's talking about the netflix deal which seems to have probably been more substantial considering his whining about sales.

>>488578542But it's just a funny emote...
>>488578542My game is getting a little too appealing
Hey aggies, I hope you are all doing great.Here's some small progress. I'm including some adaptive UI support for the menus on mobile devices, tested in landscape mode, 4:3 resolutions and portrait mode (it's a WIP of course, I still need to fix some the UI decorations). I had little progress last month so I hope to pick up the pace now hehe and move onto the more important stuff. Keep at it lads, one step at a time.
im in an abusive relationship with agdg i need to cut you toxic people out of my life but i'm developing stockholm syndrome

>>488581716You're not going to get any value out of a vote. Just pick something and make the game. Literally every option sucks and you will want to kill yourself because of it, or worse, think that switching will be better. (it won't)
>>488582207>neighbordo you mean room mate? if your neighbor just enters your house uninvited that would be worrying.
>>488581716The biggest ones are in Unreal or machine code.
Some of what I did today, learning with godot:>at runtime, script scans a specific folder in game directory for resource files>each file is loaded into a dictionary, and keyed by its filename (after the extension is trimmed off)>options list is populated with these keys for the player to select from>when one is selected, the script arranges the given name/family name fields in the proper order for that language (determined by a boolean in the resource)>script then generates a name in that language, by drawing randomly from PackedStringArrays for given and family names in the selected resource>by keeping it all modular with each language contained to its own resource file, the hypothetical user can pick and choose which ones they want to feature (or make new ones to mod in, only requiring a regular text editor)This is my first time dabbling in finding/loading resources automatically via script instead of manually specifying them in the editor, so I'd like to imagine I'm making progress.By the way, what's the function to check the class name of a resource in gdscript? Since I'm learning how to do this in a mod-friendly way, I'd like to get it to skip resources of the wrong class so that they don't get imported where they shouldn't and break stuff.
>hey, I remember doing some ground work some time ago, it's in my external it was only a few yea->2015 time is a cruel mistress
I'm an indie game developer, actually! Been doing it for a few years now! My game? Well it's... heh, it's a bit... well it's currently... I'm err, working on it, alright? When's release? Uh... it'll be out when I'm ready, I guess. Soon though! I swear!

>>488582864>the function to check the class name of a resourceitem is ClassNameAlso be wary that res:// only grabs files within the .pck file on exported builds, user files would be treated differently than just putting something in the project folder.
>>488583546still better than blow sokoban
>>488583357If you have appeal, you can go to Publishers who might pay upfront. Publishers have major demands, even more than what is expected of the 1% unless it's very niche

>>488584245I'm still using 3.6 so I literally do not care if Juan dies tomorrow and Godot gets wiped off the internet, I have everything I need for the next 10 years.
>>488584245The main reason why they even made their own foundation is to monetize assets since SFC doesn't allow it. I wonder what's taking so long, probably just waiting for the right lull in engine drama.
>>488584245Riccitiello chuds don't want you to know this but you can actually just use un*ty assets in godot or unreal (provided they're not made BY un*ty)
>>488578103>>684352816
>>488584540No one sells engine-independent assets only on unity's store, if you see a model you like it's most likely somewhere else too for cheaper since unity arbitrarily sets its own prices without consent.
>>488564340It would be authentically retro, and you'd be able to market that to the emulator audience. There are still people who would rather play NES games than new indie games, maybe they'd buy your game.
>>488579213Cheap + multiplayer + designed to produce funny moments
>>488584307Whoa blast from the past, I haven't been here in awhile, working on a sequel to that rolling cube game? how did release go?

>>488585461what will this game be about
>>488585461>feet are clipping and hovering at the same time>it's doesn't fuck up on slopes
>>488576436I don't get this, I don't get how the top is supposed to work. The bottom makes perfect sense, a heirarcy of classes doing handshakes to choreograph a complex animation interaction in a given context; it's logical and just boils down to looking for overlapping sets of conditions. And while the animation is playing each class locks itself out so other objects can't try and interact with it.The top, I don't know what the fuck it's supposed to be. Does the player class spawn a chair when it plays the sitting animation? If the chair isn't an object then what stops some one else from sitting on it at the same time?
>>488585628I'm making a game called ASTER, that's gonna be an action rpg. I want to do a demon's souls thing, of a few linear levels you can do in any order to give the illusion of non-linearity, because actually making a large, interconnected world is way beyond my scope or ability.>>488585729The IK is a little jank, but the movement itself is fine. What I mean is, when walking down a slope it doesn't go airborne for a split second and take away turning control, nor does that dash misbehave and go short going up, down, on, or off the slope. All good things! Still need an animation for the dash.
>>488585126>All assets are engine independentLicenses aren't. If you're going to do that then you might as well outright steal them.
>>488585729>have a 2d pixel shit platfagger game that looks like it was drawn by a retarded 6 year old>criticize a 3d game clearly early in development because they haven’t set skeletal IK in the feet bones yet (something you wouldn’t even know how to do if I paid you $100,000 to do it)lol, lmao even
https://godotengine.org/article/release-candidate-godot-4-3-rc-2/it's up
>>488585729that's pretty much how it looks in some AAA gamesElden Ring has a lot of foot clipping on stairs and the like, which no one notices because it's really minor and doesn't affect gameplay at all
>>488583843>>488584037Thanks for the heads up about the file path! That's going to save a future headache.Sorry for being retarded, but how do I use ClassName here? Just a regular "if [resource].ClassName == [class_name]" got rejected, and get_class()/is_class() only look at the base class (Resource) and not the custom class name I'm using.Should go without saying, but I have been searching this and only coming up empty so far.
>>488585461gameplay?

>>488586343Ghost simulator where you haunt people
>>4885862803D games (especially unreal) get nitpicked here harder than any AAA game because of seething talentless 2D pixel shit faggots who got IQ filtered by unreal and are forced to use godot lmfao
>>488586292it's literally just "object is Class"object.get_script() == other.get_script() might work too but not with built-in typesI think there are ways to stringify class names too but they're janky and you're probably better off using object.get_script().resource_path at that point

I'm making an ARPG because I like them and I've played them a lot, so I have a good idea of what I want to do. Pick your favorite genre and make a game in that line>>488586719Now be nice, a little bit of nitpicking isn't a terrible sin. At worst you can just ignore it and at best there's some valid criticism within.
>>488586892Post ARPG?
>>4885867193D games get nitpicked here because the 3D game developers here hyper fixate on shit so pointless that even AAA developers don't do it, let alone have it be the first thing that they do.

>>488587057You do understand the developer said nothing about foot IK until it was nitpicked by 2d pixel faggot retards like you? Right? How can you even use the internet if your IQ is sub 60? It’s a modern marvel you are even able to find the power button for your PC
>>488586343Buckshot Roulette but you're playing chess against Death in a medieval setting. You don't actually play a full game of chess, you only have some 3 pawns and one each of the big pieces, but they all represent someone important to the PC, like a family member, their girlfriend, their comrades in arms in the crusades. Losing the piece will show them visibly getting killed, and the ending will be different depending on which pieces you're left with at the end of the game.

>>488587405>You do understand the developer said nothing about foot IKnever said he did. try again.
>How do I make my game funIt's simple, actually, if you learn board game design stuff.You need a goal, something to strive for.Good ideas are the same as board games.Reach sooner a place.Get bigger score.Kill more enemies.Collect treasure.Survive something.Defeat an oponent.That's it.That's the goal your game should strive for.But beside that, you need an oposite force that will try to stop the player at any cost.Waitufs, traps, monster girls, lolis, black people, etc.Besides this, and this is the core secret nintendo sauce.Your game needs to be elegant.Few rules to memorize, but maximum output of results.Like chess.And later but not least.Your game need to have some kind of dexterity goal, something that keeps the low skill players from doing what the best players can do.Seems counter intuititve, but having dificult skills to perform, becuase of luck, or because of dexterity, like a fighting game combo, is a major aspect of why some videogames survive the test of time.

>>488591709Why? Basic rule of thumb is to never change major versions, up or down, after you've started your project. I mean if you have src control and backups then no harm in trying, but it'll probably be a clusterfuck for any existing non-trivial sized project

How is a GOAP system not just a giant fucking nested if statement? The weighting of your preconditions and 'goals' just determines the order of the ifs and elses. Why do these programmer faggots parrot this shit as if jesus is walking on water in front of them when they don't see the pane of glass he's standing on? Just because you obfuscate the hierarchy from yourself using classes doesn't mean it's not there; the behavior isn't emergent, it's rigid and following a predetermined sequence every time, it's just that you choose to stay ignorant of what that sequence is.

So unless there's a trend towards "reviving" an aesthetic, there's a ceiling that's useless to go over.The ceiling for a Braid remaster was not big, and it would have been important to start working on it knowing that increasing marketing funds was an exponential loss."

I need a physical console release. If I can release my game on some sort of cartridge, then I'll have made it. In 50 years no one will give a shit about the 30 gorillion no-name indieshit slopformers buried on steam, but there's always someone collecting and emulating old console games. Even the most obscure garbage shovelware on the Atari will have some guy making a youtube video about it, and every console library has a bunch of obsessed autists digging up "hidden gems". If I can just get my game on a console, it'll never be completely forgotten.

Would/do you guys use AI during game dev? For art, I wouldn't. I'd prefer to have pretty precise control of how my textures and whatnot turn out, and also, simply put, using it is bad PR, at least right now. That said, I'm not above using it for help coding

Depression is a choice. All you have to do is stop being sad.
>>488602890It depends on the nature of your suffering. I presume yours is psychological in nature, and is most likely a direct result of your social environment.Most people are sufficiently well adapted to their social environment that constant suffering isn't a feature of their lives.

If you want to stand out it's going to have to be with the details of your setting, not the general theme. Instead of "dwarves" do "dwarves who take trains everywhere" or "dwarves who farm giant mushrooms instead of mining" or "dwarves who're especially obsessed with magic and alchemy" or some shit like that.

Can I get a realistic prognosis for my idea? I want to build a milsim first person shooter that streamlines much of the mechanics in games like Arma 3 and Escape from Tarkov's with elements more commonly found in tactical shooters, while adding advanced reload mechanics like Receiver. Overall I wanted to aim for an N64+ level of graphical fidelity to make things easier on myself (think player models like Pseudoregalia, or The Big Catch), and an extremely focused set of a few weapons for MVP/Demo and a small area to prove concepts work. I already started working on some models for guns and whiteboxing a level, as well as sketching out rough drafts for the character model ref sheets.

>>488603983The iddea seems good, but that is alot of fucking work even with the lower quality models.Mostly in terms of testing and what not. But if you can do it, it's a good idea.However you're going to really need to lean into strong appeal to make this work, especially if you lower your model quality. There's alot of gun nuts and other like players who'd play your game, but if you lower the visual quality you need to either make the enemy AI extremely competent and interesting for them, or have really solid setpieces and gunplay.And the type of AI matters. Sounds more like you want to do FEAR AI rather than like Tarkov or something. Because you're making levels, not "zones">>488603603Give it some cool visuals then. Though desu why the actual fuck are you doing this in Renpy? Just go to like Godot or Unreal or something and you'd probably have a better time with performance and coding.

>>488603983So far it sounds incredibly generic. If your question is if that idea alone can somehow carry the game, no, you'll need more. If your question is if that idea is worth working on, yeah, sure, if you want. Always need a generic foundation to build on top of.

>>488605510Cool enemy, but that punch is the slowest shit interpolated shit this side of sunday.Why not make the guy float around and shoot like beams outta the screen or some shit.>>488605668I could probably learn a thing or two about marketing by checking that shit out.Though I bet it's probably typical dev stall out clickbait shit.
>2.3M viewsThis is what marketing is btw.Spending 100k, releasing podcasts, adding hours of commentaries etc. That's just content. All you need to do is say just one attention grabbing sentence that will look good in the title of a news article.I wonder if it will have an effect on the sales. We'll have to keep an eye on the review counts on steam starting july 31. There is a peak at july 31 but you can argue that it may not count. Altough speaking negatively about your own game might deter people from checking out your game. They'll say "If it sold like dogshit it must be bad so I don't have to check it out.".
>>488605668>Road to VostokI tried that demo years ago!>But clearly it's a grift, he's putting out tiny demo levels that have no gameplay and is somehow getting streamers to gobble it up.Well, it's not a grift if he ships, I guess.

>>488605850Left is Godot, Right is Blender Eevee. I don't mind shadows being a bit heavy but right now as is alot of the shadows are really harsh. Been a notable issue for a while. Then again it's not a big deal for my game, I do want to use a lot of shadow anyway.But still. Raising ambient lighting too high effectively would kill any chance of a nice dark zone in the game. So really I gotta be careful about how I use shit.The other notable issue is the fog. The fog really is apart of the charm .I'm going for machessemo horror mixed with American McGee's Alice style wise.
>>488606369...It does get better.
>>488606515Wishlist'd.
>>488598119I want one on physical copy too, think I've wanted it for a long time too. I like having them like that versus just some 0's and 1's on a computer. I can likely make my own version by buying a duplicate Switch game case, removing the cover, photoshopping the necessary things, and adding my art onto it. The whole thing would look professional too.

Finally found a way for enemies to interact with the farming system. Kicking enemies into crops deals damage, which is quite fun.
>>488606212Oh, fair enough. >>488606309Braid itself isn't bad, it's just okay.But bro tried to resell effectively the same fucking game twice, when it was just okay.Idk what he was thinking.>>488606603This is actually kinda cool. Give your enemies a bit more telegraphing and make ghosty boy a little bit less skitzo movement wise and I think you're set with stuff like that. Do you intend to give the player himself more movement options? Cause this shit's fast compared to a normal zelda like. So if the player had some extra movement tools too this would be peak.Or just some cool weapons/abilties.
>>488607079that makes no sense
>>488607204Yeah, but it's fun. This is gameplay first, lore/story second. It's easy to make up reasons as to why it works.
>>488607079Eh, doesn't make sense and it sounds annoying that crops can get destroyed that way. Pushing them into a wall for extra damage seems more apt.
>>488602890Almost the same and even when I'm not, I'm not even at true relaxed levels. Only time I was every free of it was one dream from years ago. Super realistic dream, everything was high detail like real life except what felt like a fantasy world or at least a location that doesn't exist on Earth. Just a big beautiful vista without a worry in the world. I enjoyed my time in that place. I could close my eyes and feel the sensation of the cold breeze hitting me on my face. It was wonderful. ;_; I never got that dream again.

>>488607079Cool mechanical idea of kicking enemies through shit in order to deal more damage. I assume enemies would hoard together so kicking one to death is cool.But man, this game's artstyle needs some polish.Refer to Castle Crashers for how to do flash stuff right.
>>488607480They don't get destroyed. They enter a "dead" state that gets refreshed every morning, like doors.
>>488606524Ok so you don't know anything about graphics and are criticizing Godot for what is a limitation of all game engines because what you are looking for is a real time lighting system which no game engine had until ray tracing. Godot does have one, but it's not as good as ray tracing. Go into your environment settings and turn on SDFGI, also while you're at it turn on SSR.What games traditionally did to get around not having real time lights is use shaders to simulate rim lights and such or the ambient light like you said. You're going to get the same issues in unreal or unity.
>>488607651Okay then.
>>488607645I tried the flash style but didn't like it. I'm currently using pseudo-pixelart style, which looks quite nice when colored/shaded. The color balance is admittedly messed right now, but I'm saving sprite redos for later.

>>488602890I experience constant suffering all the time.But, I choose to be happy. I choose to aim for better things. To strive for that time in the sun. To find things to live for. To find beauty in the world. Hell, it's often the little things I appreciate a bit. Ever seen a murder of ravens enjoying some chips you got them? It's great.
>>488607461Might need to keep that in mind with sprites as well. Maybe these are postapocalyptic tomato cultivates with spikes etc.
>>488607978i really cant understand the feeling of liking thingsit makes no sense when people talk about it
>>488608258You are a gay faggot
>>488606016If you tried it years ago it was in Unity. He received a lot of attention by porting it to Godot while that big Unity fee controversy was going on last year
>>488607131I didn't want to rely on stuff like dodge rolls, because I find that people used to dodge rolls are automatically good at every game that has them. But there is a big variety of different weapons with cool, gameplay relevant effects >:)And that ghost enemy is intentionally really strong and troublesome, they don't show up under regular circumstances. I don't want to say too much. I should have a demo on my Steam... soon-ish.
of all the things I could have possibly become addicted to, why did it have to be porn and Hearthstone
FUCK! It's so easy to fool myself into thinking i'm working, but in reality i'm just going around in circles and making ZERO progress towards a real goal. When I actually have a deadline to deliver (when it's imposed by someone who's going to give me money to do it), my productivity easily skyrockets. I wish I could enforce these deadlines as effectively for my personal projects. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?
>>488608629Easy access? Both are free and can be obtained remotely. You normally have to leave your house to get addicted to something else.
>>488607801I literally don't have raytracing. It's volumetric Fog. And Real Time Lighting, uh yeah fucking Unreal has that. Fucking Unity has that. We don't live in the stone age. But those are different from Raytracing (We're not simularing every beam of fucking light here)Godot does too, it's just their lighting model is a bit wack in terms of shading contrasts and what not. Not the biggest issue in the worldBut I'm criticizing Godot for a known issue that like half the fucking fags here have coped about for a while now. Anyway, SDFGI and SSR? Give me more details on those. I'm interested.>>488608258Idk, have you tried finding something to enjoy? Surely you got at least something. Or once did. Why not go out and find some new hobbies?>>488608584Nah not dodgerolls, iframe abuse sucks ass when every game does it.I was more thinking like quicksteps, or like movements that allowed you to get outta the way. But if you got a nice collection of weapons, just go fucking nuts with it all.Ah, evil time out ghost, got it hehehe. Based. Goodluck with getting the demo on steam soon mate.
>>488608707Write out a list of immediate things to implement and hang that list next to your computer, cross them off as you implement them to see your progress.
>>488608707Just use of of those project management software like Jira or Trello.
>>488608258actual retard lmao
>>488608985Cool frankenstein! Great 3D! Thank you for liking my game and good luck to you too!
>>488608985>Anyway, SDFGI and SSR?>Give me more details on those. I'm interested.You are a faggot, I don't know where you came from but you need to go back and stop spamming your ignorance here. Switch to unreal and go reddit them up.
Whelp. I posted my progress. So I'm fucking out.>>488606058>https://recap.agdg.appIt seems it's the right link. Well, thanks anyway.>>488604651Sorry, I didn't see your answer. I will try to be brief, but I tried Unreal and I didn't make progress in a very long time. I believe it's a combination of factors:- Blueprints are not an easily transferable skill. Coding in Python is. So it's easier to get motivation to do the later.- Coding in Python is easier than Blueprints, since I can actually check code examples, copy paste stuff, etc. With blueprints you need images, which is slower.- Being able to work on a train. With Unreal I need to be at home, with my big boy computer.- I find it easier to back up and version control a smaller project. So I know I won't lose progress, which motivates me further.That being said, I will be happy to leave Renpy for a more appropriate engine once I outgrow it. I just want to get the ball rolling, form the habit and make a game.Yours looks nice, btw. See you on DD!
>>488609212Where the fuck are you queers coming from? Are we being raided???
>>488608707I only do things that instantly improve the game.
>>488609484I have been on AGDG and posting pure optimism and positivity for fucking years! Like ten fucking years! Suck my dick!

>>488609602Based.
>>488609602>thread suddenly turns to guys jacking off each other through reddit speakNo I don't think so. This gayness is too coordinated to be a conincidence.
>>488608985>Anyway, SDFGI and SSR?Dude... those are one of the first things a lighting tutorial for godot will tell you about. Just mess with the editor settings for a WorldEnvironment node, or use google.

>>488609882I remember when Risk of Rain was called Space Game 2012. I am not a tourist. Post your game instead of stirring shit lmao
>>488608629I got addicted to gwent, legends of runeterra and backpack battles.It's rough. recognizing your addiction is good. recognize why it's agonizing you. is it not fun? is it taking time that you want to use in other ways?replace it with other games. uninstall it however many times you need, break in and reinstall, uninstall again. it happened to me.for porn, just cum. it takes minutes to jerk off then you don't feel like it anymore. (not talking about le mental damage)
>>488609992Guy is a retard, I'm amazed he managed to import animated models into the engine and get them working.
Found a hacky method to render two outlines with only one shader using two passes instead of relying on two separate materials. I also made a more performant double outline shader that doesn't require the use of multiple stencil buffers.
>>488610801no player will EVER care about this
>>488610801what does Japanese cartoons have to do with your hacky method to render two outlines with only one shader using two passes instead of relying on two separate materials and your more performant double outline shader that doesn't require the use of multiple stencil buffers?
>>488609882>schizo /pol/tard is a nodevWow! I'm shocked. Get off the couch and phone bank for Trump. He's fucking cooked.
>>488610935They'll care about better performance
>>488610935I do because it got rid of an annoying depth rendering bug.
>>488605510Please put a jump scare warning for the AI slop. I don't want to see AI art in agdg, it actively is making the artform worse.
>>488610801Could you share an image of this? I can't imagine why you want two outlines simultaneously...
I wish more fantasy worlds were based on bronze age Eurasia rather than early medieval Europe.
>>488600246>Also, it's kind of fun when you get compliments and know that your art has passed for handmade heheI know that feel, hon.
>>488611463sorry im not a historian i get all my fantasy inspiration from dungeons and dragons (5th edition)
>>488611651fair enough, do whatever you like

I just made a bunch of shill posts on ledditI never wanna go back
>>488533432I dislike him. All his takes are just pandering to the masses / populism and as others have pointed out he is a streamer first, game developer second.>What's that, Patreon is fucking you? USE KO-FI! (they both use Paypal as the main payment processor, he neglects to mention this) (I doubt he has any proof that it's a better idea either, all this to get around an already minimal fee)>Piracy? Yeah, it's good, because I don't make money from my game anyway. Woo piracy it's not a problem that in certain parts of the market, people would sooner use a pirate site than ever dare browse games on a legitimate website. It's perfectly fine to convert normal consumers into more pirates who won't buy anything!He sounds very knowledgable and sure all the time but that means he's just saying shit even when he doesn't have experience with it. He has a limited viewpoint and he oversteps the boundaries of what he knows. He's the game developer equivalent of a clown, a very rich clown at that. There's no problem if he wants to talk about his experience at blizzard but he needs to humble himself about other topics.
>>488611259dork alert
>>488611879hope it was worth the whole 2 wishlists, if that
>>488611851I can't into 3D, I wouldn't be able to do it justice. A Morrowlike would probably be the best way to show off such a world.
>>488611185what does Japanese cartoons have to do with your annoying depth rendering bug?>>488611879what does Japanese cartoons have to do with a bunch of shill posts on reddit?
remember like last week when I said I would start learning to make a game based off my dream?well this is pretty close to what my dream was about (like 60%)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crxh3pSwS0U funny how coincidences work, but this has not dissuaded me in the slightest, I believe I can make a game based off of my spooky dream and add in the interesting parts as welland it will only take around 5 (6 or 7) years to finish
>>488611879oh god you actually weren't kiddingI'm sorry you had to do that, but I hope it's worth it for you in the end.
>>488612094And what do cat pics have to do with this >>488612040
>feel exhausted after working 5 hours on game>"I'll just take a short half-hour break">it's now 2 hours laterFuck
>>488604201What's the lack of appeal? >>488604514Is this a thing here? Also for the record hilariously I'm not using normal human characters, and no they're no furry or anime.>>488604651Part of the idea was using that style as a form of developer art until I can get some help later on after I've got a solid MVP and demo, so I can focus more effort on making the AI challenging and feel "right". Though it's technically pseudo-open world just in an small environment to facilitate the gameplay concepts I wanted. Best I can describe it as is the distilled gameplay concepts of Arma 3 Antistasi but as a police procedural game streamlined to play a bit better with some lower fidelity graphics to lower development time for the time being until I can add polish.>>488604703Bullet drop, random weapon spread, Red Orchestra 1/2 hip fire dead zone, no aiming reticle non-ADS unless pointing at an interactive object or item, realistic mechanically detailed 3D models (albeit low poly), Mars gravity physics, stance mechanics, advanced reload mechanics ala Receiver 1/2, dynamic missions to support the police procedural concept.>>488604968No, not really. I'm just asking about the challenge. I have some experience making games, just nothing I've finished or was happy with because I lacked something I was interested in without being "dream game" tier. This seems to fall in that sweet spot of being interesting while not mechanically too hard at my skill level. Though based on the above, and the fact I wanted to take some inspiration from NeoTokyo and Ghost in the Shell (1995) I don't think it's /too/ generic.
>>488612271huh?
>>488612395please don't post any picture of neotokyo,I have to listen to the full ost every time someone does
>>488612395>Red Orchestra 1/2 hip fire dead zoneOk, nice. What's this mechanic? I never played those.
>>488611463are you fucking high or fucking retarded? 99% of fantasy is based on LATE medieval Europe + post WWII society
>>488612670relax
no one has downloaded my game in over 3 months
>>488611289I am not that anon, but pic related is an example that uses two outlines
>>488612928Shit like this reminds me of when I wasn't yet desensitized to porn and even the mildest fetish art made me recoil with confusion and disgust.
>>488613059it is a bit unappealing and grotesque, I found it on /3/
>>488592561He realizes his game came out in a period of time where there was much less competition, right? Look at the absolute garbage that made bank in early 2010's. Sorry Mr. Blow but the market now is much different than back then.
>>488612051dorks use AI, just look at any AI art community for confirmation.
we need to organize a purge of this hobby. It's getting unbearable
Anyone know how someone can make back 20 million quickly? It's urgent for my game.
We need to organize a purge of this hobby. It's getting unbearable!
i think my right wrist is starting to hurt now tooits so fucking over
>>488613839Blow didn't lose 20 million all at once, he burned it on salaries and office overhead over the course of 9 years. He probably also doesn't need another 20 million or 9 years to finish his game, unless he's somehow less than halfway done.
>>488613839Release a remastered version of your 16 year old game.
>>488576746Is this Jai(walk)Ja(va) (a)ior yai?
I'm feeling really unnerved and daunted because I'm starting to realize that this entire situation is like a hell on earth. Why are there so many games being made today? Do you realize that there might have been hundreds of games that were dropped by their developers over the last 4 years because the climate convinced them that their game is not worth making?I want to give Jon Blow a hug and tell him everything will be alright, because what we're going though right now is not normal. It's possible your game is good but it gets lost in all the noise of our sick and dying society. There are so so many great games that get buried under mountains of literal shit made by grifters like marnix. Truly we are in the end times.
>>488599434i think like this unironically
>>488614415ok
>>488614415That just means the supply is much higher than the demand. People don't want all these dime a dozen throwaway games. Braid is a mediocre game in 2024, and that ain't good enough.
Had to go to work, get groceries, and pay rent today. Now I have to cook dinner but I just want to play video games then go to bed. Ugh, I hate adulting!
>>488614415gay shizo
>>488614626if you arrived here anywhere in the last 3-4 years chances are you don't belong here and this isn't the hobby for you. You're doing this just to do something with your limited and fading time. I'm convinced that only about 5% of agdg devs actually care about what they are doing (which is still a much higher percentage than the average)This is why I have intense respect for people like marmo and bokudev and trainwiz - because I know that they belong here and have sunk years of their lives into it. They are dedicated to the craft. They didn't just show up when it got trendy. They live and breathe this artform. It's time for you clowns to start leaving
>>488613839apologize for past misogynistic behavior, actually convince resetera you've turned a new leaf. People see braid fail and say "good"
>>488614918Invidious redditspeak
>>488614415>Truly we are in the end times.I feel that too, Hayao, but how long until it's over? why not fight over scraps while we still can? this could be drawn out for a decade or more.

>>488615019proud of you for learning a new word sir
>>488614415Do you think this is something like the peak of a cycle, or will games just remain oversaturated from here on out, potentially accelerating to an AI-slop singularity where games have 0 value?
>>488614415>Why are there so many games being made today?The third world got access to internet, about 2 billion new people came online over the last 10 years. And with currency conversion rates it's like a gold rush for them, Gooner patreon bucks can have them living like a king.
>>488614415if you're making a game solely for the chance of it being the next "undertale" and you swimming in dosh, you already fucked upmake the game you want to make solely because you want to make it, if money is your #1 priority, making an indie game is the worst fucking move you can makeyour main occupation should NOT be being an indie game developer, unless you have a very good passive income and are able to sit a pile of cash for a long while
>>488615192why are you asking this question to a nigga posting frogs on 4chan lmaoooo
>>488615308I don't want money, I want my game to not be lost in a sea of brown noise. I would be willing to distribute my games for free if it gave me a guarantee that I'm free from having to compete in this clown race of deranged clout chasers
>>488608707Make a hard deadline for yourself for a critical goal.I did, managed to keep me real fucking productive. Made alot of these animations and models in the last month or so.>>488609212Oh thanks.>>488609430Sounds more like Godot would be a better fit. Coding is similar to Python.But, regardless, go for it mate. Create to your hearts content.>>488609295You say this shit as you start talking about fucking ray tracing as if all real time lighting is raytracing.Do a flip. >>488609992It's one of the last things I hadn't gotten around to. I was asking what they were, not where they are. I'd like to know how they actually function. That's all.>>488612040Yeah I mean I just frankly don't like his game at all. It looks like effectively Undertale but worse in every way. Which makes it a bit hard to take his takes on games seriously.>>488612395I see. Eh, it could work I reckon. Try it out, see if people like it enough and build from there.>>488613438The other issue is he's literally selling the same fucking game people already own. 100k of marketing (uh I don't believe that, gonna be honest) ain't going to overcome that fundamental issue.>>488614415I feel bad for the guy but he's made a critical error. Shit happens. I hope he gets motivated to make a serious game and learn from this disaster.
Froggy I'm not a fan of your new gimmick can you give it a rest please
>>488614415The stock market might be near the top today. Not a good day on the markets
>>488615351just curious about his intuition on the situation>Why are there so many games being made today?> because what we're going though right now is not normalthese might be compatible with an interpretation of our gamedev glut as a temporary condition>gets lost in all the noise of our sick and dying society>Truly we are in the end times.these suggest the oversaturation of gamedev may be related to a civilizational terminus from which there will be no recovery
Seriously most of you need to leave. Start doing woodwork or take up photography. Game development will filter you eventually anyways because it's an endurance test and you don't have the endurance and you know it
>>488614952Most of those devs left tho
If oversaturation scares you then you shouldn't be making a game to begin with. Anyone with that mindset is only capable of creating derivative slop. Leave game dev to the people who get enjoyment out of the act of creating something and seeing their hard work materialize into something playable on the screen. It's sad that so many people ITT will never experience that feeling.
>>488615150I'm not sure 'redditspeak' even is a real word, but thank you
what was blow even thinkingwho would buy a remaster of a puzzle platformer? you know the solutions and the twist already"damn ive never played braid before but instead of getting for 25 cents off a bundle, ive waited this whole time to buy it for 20 dollars!" - a person joesph bloward actually thinks exists

>>488615841I get enjoyment both from creating things and from showing off those things to others. If the brown noise of the world has made it impossible for others to recognize the existence of my work then yes I will be righteously infuriated.

>>488621242copy pasting this from another thread where I gave nutrition advice(this is thread related because your productivity as a game dev depends on it):nutrition (ideally):as little pufa (polyunsaturated fat) as possible, vitamin d+k supplementation (10k iu a day for a few weeks to get start then lower to 5-8k), supplement thiamine, b3, b7, folate, zinc, magnesiumyour diet should include dairy as a staple (glass of milk with every meal, cheese, butter, ice cream, etc)potatoes, fruit/juice, sugar are preferable carb sources but regardless of the source carbs should comprise *at least* 60% of your calorieseat ruminant meats and avoid eating too much pork or chicken because their fat is mostly pufaeat eggs every day, the yolk in particular is a crucial source of vitAeat liver (or liver pate/foi gras) at least once every couple weeks, oysters too if you canfish once or twice per weekif you cant get liver try to eat more eggsspinach and chocolate are great magnesium sources but its generally good to supplement mag glycinatesalt your foods to tasteuse coconut oil or butter for cookingcut out fried foods completely
>>488620864haha good thing the guy trying to copy my game is currently in analysis paralysis.
>>488622090damn nigga that shit look like ass fr
why the fuck do you stupid rodents come here to the only game development thread on this website just to talk about everything else besides making games? Where are people supposed to go if they are interested in talking about the games they are making?
>>488622292no one is interested in hearing about your pixelslop shartformer
>>488622090This one is a little tough to look at, and I’m generally very supportive
marmorealdev why do all the mages in your game marmoreal have such huge tits?
>>488622292I mostly use this place to blow off steam whenever I need to consciously take a break and wait for "back room me" to magically pull ideas or solutions out of the ether. I don't talk about the game I'm making because no one here is interested in hit.
>>488622292None of the games in agdg are interesting to talk about and none of the people have anything interesting to say because even if they did they're anonymous.
>>488622491>>488622569but my game is interesting to talk about. Why are your games not interesting to talk about? Why did you start this hobby if you aren't even interested enough to talk about it?
>>488622292vast majority of posters are gaymers who just want to gossip
>>488622657>i think my game is interestingthanks captain obvious. no one else does.
>>488622292and just like that you explained why this place has been shit for the last 4 years
>>488622657It's not about MY interest, it's about the thread's interest (or lack thereof). It's bad form to ramble about stuff you're interested in when no one else around you is interested in it.
>>488621242same...
You WILL use s&box for your next game and you WILL appreciate how much it blows Unity and Godot out of the water. Just a little longer for standalone exporting to be finished.
can we start a general where people can talk about the games they are making? What should I call it?
How do I graduate to the big /pgdg/ in the sky?
>>488622996It wouldn't be allowed because it'd be against global rules forbidding advertising.
>>488622996That's actually not a bad idea. I wonder why no one has done it until now.

what if we formed some sort of brotherhood of individuals sharing a mutual interest of gamedev. A closed society of some sort. And 'inner circle', if you will
>About 20 minutes on art.>140 minutes on camera controls, fog of war shader, throwing in some random edge drawing.Trying to do fog of war so that only settlements and their neighbors are visible. I thought I had a solution, but it breaks when zooming in or out.The approach is to pass a series of world coordinates to the shader along with the camera position and zoom, then do the fiddling to get it into something UV sensible. Translating things by camera position and scaling it down by the target screen resolution works, but I'm not sure how to factor in zoom, which is a vector2 value describing how the screen is scaled, probably just need to think on it more.I'm also unsure if this is the right approach, since there's some funkiness with Godot's Camera2D position that causes things to be "tugged" in the direction of the camera move, even when using 'get_screen_center()', and the UV for the color rect is obviously warped, which I'm ignoring for now.
>>488622996>>488623614You think you're being clever, but this has already been addressed numerous times: gamedevs are not interested in other gamedevs' games. Anyone constantly going on about their own game is going to be mocked and ostracized, or if they're luckier, just completely ignored.
>>488623669I'm interested in you guys' games and I would be a lot more interested if someone got rid of all the fluff that keeps shitting up the thread and drowning out the progress posting
>>488623992I would be happier if you weren't interested in my game, thanks.
>>488624071But anon I love you!
>gamedevs are not interested in other gamedevs' games>the only people who will follow your gamedev account on social media are other gamedevsthe crabs need to get together and sort out their narratives, this is just embarrassing.
Indian/Australian hours are truly the worst time to be on this website.
>>488623992>I'm interested in you guys' gamesDon't patronize me. I got 3 comments on my last demo day submission, 1 of which only because I explicitly begged for feedback in the threads. I'm content enough with chasing my own artistic vision to be okay with agdg not liking my game, just so long as they're honest about it. What I don't like is liars feigning interest.
I care about every single game here!Except for the tranny games, the anime games, the tranime games, the blatant clone games, the asset flip games, the AAA wannabe games, the trend chasing games, the school project games, the bad on purpose games, the attention seeker games, the
>>488624408He's interested in scrolling through progress posts like it's his tiktok feed, not giving you advice.
>>488624226They follow each other because they think they're boosting each other in socia media algorithms, not out of genuine interest.And if this is crabbing, it's the "realistic crabbing" where I'm pulling because I don't know any better (real crabs pull each other down because pulling on each other is how they help each other in the wild; they're too stupid to realize pulling becomes harmful when inside a bucket). I'm speaking from personal experience, and would absolutely love to be proven wrong. Please prove to me that I am an idiot and that the gamedevs here are genuinely interested in each other's games.
>>488624408Heroesforhiredev I swear I was going to play your Game and leave feedback but I am undergoing a very severe psychosis that has convinced me that I need to work on my game every hour of every day otherwise it won't be good enough. But I was going to play heroes for hire. You have to believe me
>>488624408If your game is a niche, you can't expect lots of feedback.
>>488624892I don't, which is exactly why I don't post about it here. It'd be rude to go on about something the thread isn't interested in.
Your demo would be getting a lot more feedback if we exterminated four fifths of the agdg roster and only kept the devs that care about this hobby. Just saying
>>488625018how do you determine who cares about this hobby?

>>488625626marmo you have to stop fucking things you have an addiction
>>488625626I am going insane myself, I have a multiply color blend shader that used to work, and now it just doesn't anymore...
Did some grunt work, and now I can replace a few things with different models. Should help with adding some color. I can also look into adding some posters or some shit, but I'm too tired. Today was a big one.
This made me genuinely laugh. I just wanted to share it with you -- my friends
Older tank but with lots of turrets. I like the filter done to make the camo instead of the solid colors, but it does require me to make lighter colors at the start beforehand since it makes it darker automatically later.
I'm going to be honest. I used to reply to a lot more progress posts until I realized no one replies to mine. If you don't look at my progress chances are you aren't reading what I'm replying to you either, so why bother
>>488625924I like your tanks, they're cute.How are you designing the textures?

What's the fucking point of still using this general? You guys have no souls. You have no thought, no mind. It's like trying to make conversation with a production line of flesh automatons. The existence of most of you serves no purpose
I wish anime was real.
>>488626206I make solid color textures for what colors I want where and then I import them into GIMP to apply filters before reapplying them after exporting. There is also some software that can better limit colors to fit a certain style.

>>488627225>Where can I go if I just want to have a conversation with another human being. Hi...
>>488628080Recently I've begun to think that one of the main reasons why I make games is because I believe it will give me something that is actually impossible to get. I think that if I make a game that's good enough somehow it will cut through all the noise and allow me to have real communication with people. Everyone seems so stuck in their own autistic world
>>488625924War thunder player here, what's your game about?
>>488628248even low poly has hundreds of faces.maybw you need to project from view for EVERY set of faces directed at a different angle. otherwise the rounding of the shape creates rixels.there has to be a good tutorial for low poly, I just didn't find it.

You should clip out the section of the biteme stream where the boys are voice acting and laughing and post that to reddit. where they yeet that girl and have a "peak story telling" moment. The title of the post can make or break it. needs to be redditor bait.
>>488628831Fine, just a bit tired of working on shaders.
I'm getting real tired of getting disrespected every single Demo Day.
>>488628790I'm mostly focused on another project at the moment, but current plans is a retro war game to learn Unreal better. Not sure how viable/difficult it is to make a simple RTS over a tank arcade style game or an FPS in the engine yet.
>>488613438I wish I released a game back then. I'd probably be rich now. A few of the people who made it back then or got set up on the path of making it due to making games back then are now smug asf acting like it was pure skill even when their games wouldn't stand a chance if their competition were today's games. 2D or 3D for that matter.
It's like everyone is treating my game as if it's some second rate trash that doesn't deserve even a second glance even though I poured my entire soul into it and made sure that it's a nice experience for players.
>>488611879grim
>>488615685I wish this mindset pervaded the normie grifters on youtube. But it seems it is not. If only the refugee hordes of normans looking for social clout never came here, we'd have been better off in terms of making it.

I don't think I'll ever advertise on there just so they'll never get the satisfaction of having their existence acknowledged by me. Would be more satisfying if I get rich. Well maybe I'll advertise, idk but I doubt it's all that much useful when it comes to selling a game there.
>>488629423It's all about framing really, if you are begging for playtesters somewhere then people will shit on your game but make it respectable and people will be a lot more tolerant of issues.

Any C#fags in here use LINQ? A lot of people on Stackoverflow like to shill it. It's "okay". I've used it a few times here and there.
New skill level reached, chuddies.
>>488634132sorry, I'm straight
>>488634132LINQ is nice for easily manipulating and grabbing data, I prefer the lambda "dot syntax" over the sql-like syntax. But I don't think I'd use it for gamedev, what you gain in code density & readability you lose in performance, memory allocation, and garbage collection

>>488633690Sorry, it's really not feasible. I will try to minimize the damage for next week
>>488634705That's why modern fighting games have longer hitstops, larger input buffers and shorter inputs.Only dirty spics and chinese play old kof.
>>488634705you can cancel a DP in kof with half the super movement.usually half circle movement or another down forward or down backward.once you understand those shortcuts, is very easy to cancel.>>488634757It's a miniskirt with boxers.

>>488628080>harming the overall emotional IQ of peopleThis is a contraindication to the rotting of manhood, we're returning to a time where deformed babies were thrown off cliffs and children were taught how to use swords, and if they should die while wielding it, then so be it. Emotions are for women, only the strong will survive.

I'd say I'm in the end-game now of Necrovale. Most of whats left is balancing and end-game modes. It's been about 6 months since EA launch, and I'm quite happy with how things have turned out. My "mediocre performance" target for 1 year of release was about 12k units, and it's already at almost 19k, far exceeding my expectations. Really excited to start the next project, I feel that I've learned as much as I have from this project as I did from Frauki. Hopefully that knowledge will make an impact on the performance of the next game, too.
>>488635872I'm glad to hear that. It's quite a glowup from Frauki.
>>488635872Nice! Hope to see your next project around.
>>488635685Lol, no. You stop crying once you objectively analyze women and realize what they are and what you are to them. It's because so many of us are doing that that societies 'emotional iq' is going down.

>>488584419fbx is a proprietary format, so any engine with an open source license will have that "problem". on the other hand, if the 2 minutes it takes to set the importer are enough to make you cry and shit yourself, no engine will be enough for you to make a game.

I need to write a VN but I have never written anything.Will just writing some stories over and over make me better at writing like it how it works for art or do I have to do I absolutely have to do boring things like reading books and getting people to read what I write and give me their opinion?
>>488637102If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't do boring things like reading books and getting feedback.Just skim a couple of vns to get a general feel and ask chatgpt to write a draft for you
>>488624559Fortunately you would say my game isn't anime because it's not made by a Japanese person, therefore none of what you said applies to my game.Thank god for that!
>>488637102Reading books will help expand your vocabulary.Practicing every day does help. Try to aim for a certain amount of words a day and just write about anything. Personally, I keep a dream journal.You should also learn theory, basic rules like "show don't tell" and traditional story structures are extremely useful.I'm not sure at what stage you should be looking for feedback.
>>488637102read robert mckee the story and lajos egri dramatic writing and the hero's journey.also TV tropes wiki has some pages on how to write certain genres, and good shit like character bands.Learning the grammar of storytelling will make it easier to understand why an anime is boring or the story sucks.

Had an epiphany: agdg devs aren't interested in each other's games, but they might be interested in similar inspirations and influences? What if instead of talking about your own games, you talked about the games that inspired you and the things you're trying to build upon?
