is 600 impressions and 300 visits (50% click-thru rate) from most recent week traffic any good or is just the normal for steam games?
>>488713325I get a little more confident in my game every time I see those kinds of posts if I'm being honest, every time the games look abysmal by any standards.>Cheap looking gameplay with no weight or purpose>MS paint or developer debug tier UI>Ugly flat image textures with no attempt at cohesion>Graphics generally consist of store bought assets or things that just clash with each other badly, some games just have basic geometric shapes.>GOD. AWFUL. TRAILERS.>Incomplete steam page (if it has one)>Spelling mistakes, poor grammarSeriously its always the same, I saw some guy on /v/ shill a game sphere platformer that cost £10 with a two minute trailer that cut out to a black screen halfway through which committed every sin I just listed to boot. I bet most games would sell better if people spent more than 10 minutes on each piece of the steam page even if the games still sucked.

>>488764895Why not just ask ChatGPT why your character doesn't fall properly after walking off objects into thin air? You don't have to make it spit out code for you to copy paste, just tell it to suggest what you might have done it wrong so you can do the code yourself.
>>488764830it looks better than any game Ive seen posted here and looks about on par with similar party gamesthis is not a game where beauty is consideration, its a party gamefun is what matters hereIm a better judge of beauty than anyone in this thread, its just not a consideration here

I want a number to slowly decrease to zero, not going past zero. is there any better solution than if(number > 0) number = number -1if (1 > number > -1)number = 0seems like there should be a simpler way of decreasing a float and stopping at zero

>>488766287max min and clamp functions exist
>>4887666800.01 - 1 is less than 0
>>488766423i have actually seen most of van gogh's publicly displayed canvasesin person(in european and usa museums, along with three major touring exhibitions). i've actually stood in front of the paintings and examined their impact with my own eyes. i also understand how painting is done, and specifically how painting was done in the 19th century. i've read van gogh's letters in the unabridged collection. my summary judgment is that van gogh is a trainwreck marketed as a tragedy, and ineptitude marketed as innovation.certainly "feeling" is something art inspires in some people. but there is a difference between feeling inspired by sentimentality and an awesome reputation, and feeling inspired by intelligent taste and good culture. the only way you will know which is which is actually to see and study the paintings you want to talk about, rather than look at them online and read about them in books. that is a point that many other commenters here have missed as well.in fact, to understand perspective, van gogh built himself a little frame divided by wires, and copied clumsily, wire square by square, the framed landscape. read in the letters how he talks about color design with simple textbook concepts. consider that the finest praise he could make to theo about a drawing is "i finished it in under an hour." does that seem to you like a mind seeking "freedom of expression"? isn't that an excuse for a hand that simply couldn't feel sensual about paint? don't the little hatchmark brushstrokes feel more like embroidery than sonnetry?the deep issue with all of van gogh's work is that he is one of the first casualties of the modern art marketing juggernaut. i have to ask again, why is a tortured soul more interesting than a sublimely happy soul or a bodger artist more interesting than a master craftsman? aren't fretful souls and careless craftsmen really the most common and unremarkable people of all?
>booger artisttf this retard talking about
>>488766801Didn't see the float, add a max of 0 and the number to the first if then.
>>488766129Seriously, it's worth a shot. You don't have to have it spoonfeed you, there's a thousand different things that can go wrong with coding if even one letter is off, it's just trouble shooting. You can always look up other sources, too.
>>488766301yeah no don't do that
>>488766287LERP (google it for your engine)
>>488765997The most underrated Zelda game to date.

>>488768937sorry anon but it was just copypasta, but I guess someone had to write it first so it's still validpersonally I think van gogh has some bangers and a lot of forgettable stuff, goes to show the value of rapid iteration

you can't code an npc that walks to something and does a job and then goes to the next thing in godot
>>488765469this.>>488765864yeah and i did too when i was a wagie. that's still a low payout if it took 3 years full time gamedev. id rather just be a wagie than waste 3 years on that all while being uncertain of it's financial success which would add a lot more stress
>>488766801if you are using natural numbers you probably shouldn't assign them float typesalso,if x>0x -= 1else x=0
>>488772362Skill issue, I did that years ago.
>>488769289Im a little hesitant to list even 10, I grouped 19th and 20th together for a reason, namely I think painting really starts to die in the 20th century and is completely dead post ww2take this with a grain of salt, and the order is somewhat arbitrary and Im probably forgetting peopleCezanne*Degas*Giorgio de ChiricoMatisseMonet*James EnsorRenoir*TwomblyPicassoRothkoDali MagritteFranz Marc*technically 19th century but produced some works in the 20th century

>>488776728>godot gamedidn't happen
>>488776312NTA but I don't understand, a state machine is literally just "If X, then Y" repeated a lot and finetuned. Godot has an animation state machine node built into it as if to prove it can do them on a more advanced level what exactly are you struggling with?

>>488772709>TwomblyAs Twombly enters into a physical dialogue with the corporeal and unseen, myth is manifest as sensually tangible experience. Expressed through the violent metamorphosis of mutating, ever fateful identities and thoughts, the poetry and mythology of Classical antiquity - its sense of tragedy and transformation – emerge invigorated and renewed. With an incomparable surface and cascading sense of destabilized forms, the surface of Untitled pulsates with a frenzied sensuality that reaches beyond allegory to the absolute itself. Sumptuous in opposites and allusion, Untitled offers an allegorical appeal to form and its ongoing transformation.

Anyone using Unreal for a 2D game here? I heard games like Octopath are using it well.
>>488780486Count up to 3. When you reach three you say "cum" and cum. Then you open your project and continue devving.
>>488782297Octopath is a 3D game... but yes people make 2D games in unreal and succeed. Though idk any anon doing it here.
>>488778318You raise a good point. I started a new C++ project for fun and nostalgia really. Before starting, I planned to use an std::option<std::reference_wrapper<T>> and custom result<T, E> type everywhere in my new codebase. But that's silly. Just use a pointer

>>488764867make good small games that accumulate income and experience. work towards making bigger games.
>>488764867The one you like doing. I for one am working on a large single game since I enjoy the challenge and want to make the best game I can. That said, I learned first by making several small games that were never published. You could start immediately on a big game, but expect having to rewrite or else deal with poorly designed code down the road.
>>488780486>edgetards still haven't discovered the miracle of simply just cumming and getting on with their day
>>488788392AT least once a day release and then work and then reward for a day of work makes sense. I hate how retards think you cant goon at all or do nothing at all the concept of balance is lost on the majority of 90% of humans as they have become low IQ and retarded
I just learned what sleep margin is in Game Maker.My game's logic is locked to the framerate, which has always been fine, because it's so light weight. But to make a long story short, because my game's Sleep Margin was at the default of 1, it's actually been running inconsistently and slow this entire time.So I tried changing it to the recommended 10~ish. And now my game runs at the correct speed, but the correct speed is super fast. Way too fucking fast. All of my designs, all the timings are ruined. I have been in development for years.So now I either go back through the entire game rescaling every single temporal event to be a speed that I'm happy with (not feasible and in some cases due to the low resolution maybe not even possible) or set the game's framerate to 45~ (obviously awful)I want to cry.
>>488788392How will I ever finish my backlog like that?
>>488788880sad
>>488788528Stop misusing words. "Gooning" specifically means porn addiction fetishists edging, it implies no self control.
>>488786608why do people even pay publishers in this day and age?
>>488764867start smaller, no feedback for years kinda sucks. Once people liked one of my games at least I was motivated to improve it
>>488789920cargo cult mentality
>>488788880Just go with 45 fps, or ask game maker folks for help maybe you can solve this another way.
>>488788880>logic speed means timing is now off>[...] due to the low resolution maybe not even possiblehow does resolution effect that?
>Dev snacks editionI used to love playing the game Pizza Tycoon when I was a kid where you managed a pizzeria and designed pizzas to cater to various tastes.So yesterday I was at this faggoty donut place and I thought I could apply the same mechanics to designing pretty much any type of food that comes in great variety like pizzas, cakes and donuts. I could also make it a Factorio-like in that you can automate the entire process of production. Too bad I'm already working on 3 games (1 in content updates, 1 in production, 1 in pre-production) so if anyone needed an idea there you go.

Plog:I don't think I'll have a demo ready for this next demo day. I've been preoccupied with the steam art pieces these last few days. I was stuck on the small store page capsules. Was going to call it a day after finishing the last small one but decided to look at the next one, a bigger one. Finished it quickly without having to heavily ponder placement. Ended up doing a second one but didn't finish it or rather was left undecided. So long as there aren't anymore small capsules this shouldn't take me more than a day or two. I hate how little space there is for the small capsules! Takes way too long setting it up to actually look good. With that said I think I'm going to be missing this demo day, there's still a lot to do to actually making my game playable beyond tech tier demo quality. This is disappointing desu. So much dev work and still no demo. I've been working on and off for years now! Thanks for reading my plog.

I got really burnt out and barely touched my game since demo day, but this afternoon I finally went and figured out how to properly make some new gifs for the itch page.If any linux anons want to do it using just ffmpeg:ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vf "scale=347:-1,fps=30,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -loop -0 output.gif
>>488788880My condolences anon this is the kinda thing that would want to make me just throw the whole project in the trash and give up on gamedev. I've invested too much time to just start over. Sure my game is probably going to flop but having to just cancel that long into development? Yeah that probably an instant give up for me. Even though it just gave me the opportunity to jump onto devving a more likely gmi game.Just rest for a few days and think it through. Do you really have to update it or can you get away leaving it as is. Estimated time to fix it?
it's so fucking hard to make money

Could someone reply to this post?>>488759536What engine would you use if you were going to make a game like the one proposed there? Preferably open engines that don't have complex contracts or some shit.Thank you.
>>488797876you could prototype this in a day or two in unity.
I have a really cool horror game idea that requires>movement in space with inertia using fuel>inventory, combining, loot(slightry randomized)>simple ship assets>is first person>hiring VAI wonder if 3 months is a reasonable time estimate
>>488797801They're all too small in scope. No ambition. I'm going to fix this.
>>488798283Looking forward to playing your game in 7 years.
>>488797462NOOOO YOU HAVE TO HATE EVERYTHING
My game really is a stinker.
>>488798395you're a lil stinker x3
how do medium-game-fags reconcile with the fact that so many games come out so that only exceptional games have a shot at going viral.. and exceptional means not medium game?
>>488798338>only 7 yearsThink bigger.
>>488798272>I wonder if 3 months is a reasonable time estimateFor a bare bones prototype? Sure, if you already know how to make a game.
>>488798637make some medium money and get experience for the next one :)
>>488798637If my game can earn me $2k/month I could live like a king in exile from a country that abolished its monarchy and has to slowly sell all the crown jewels to avoid having to get a job.
My balls itch so fucking bad I woke up this morning and they're literally tomato red
>>488798929wash them you moron, you have fecal coliform bacteria colonizing your skin, I was going to say it before but I didn't want to feed into your behavior
>>488798637Yomi hustle was a medium game
>>488798714No, for a finished game.Assets are mechanical with similar textures and minimalistic. no smart AI is needed. dying creates replayability. game scale is one large screen. like 500 meters wide.the only problem I can spot is having your down axis be snapped is boring but allowing 4d movement means filtering retards by using a complex control scheme.
>>488797801There are many things. The most egregious and prevalent at the present day is perhaps tying in-game rewards to out-game activities e.g. purchasing in-game currency with real money or limited time events. Certainly it is an effective way to make profit but it's an anti-game.
>>488799419most of the game scale is space, the ship is broken down to pieces. I forgot to mention that.
>>488797462How long have you been making games for?
How do you get through those periods when you start to doubt your current project?
>>488799748About a month
>>488799834project hop
>>4887997482 and a half years
My game is high in time taken to develop it, but low in quality. One day I hope to get up to medium in quality, that's my goal!
>>488798637What is a medium game?
>>488800048A game that's not too big or not too small.
>>488799184>balls>fecesWhere do you think poop comes from anon?
>>488798929put hand sanitizer on them
>>488799918>>488799841Yeah that explains it. Most people you see here depressed are burnt out losers who took too long to finish their game (more than 5 years) and now suffer the consequences of their actions. It can be you in the future, so careful about procrastinating too much.

>>488800048I Googled "medium game" and got this mildly suggestive promo art for a game called Medium that released in 2021.
>>488800048they are talking about how good a game is, making an average game won't cut it and the bar is raising over time. Of course there are exceptions but they're mostly right.
How do you guys deal with negative progress? I work on my project every day and over the last seven months or so I have literally gone backwards - so many things that were working fine last year are broken now. I don't even make anything new anymore, just desperately try to fix bugs that just break fifty more things when I do...
>>48879974825 years. I've never release a game to the public. around 10 people have played my games.
>>488800217I can say a lot of things but since I'm about a year from finishing my game you're very likely to just reply with "see you in 5 years lmao" even though I actually am 1 year from the end
>>488799834I avoid thinking if at all possible. I outline what I need to make during pre-production and just concentrate on clearing the to-dos, following the schedule, and reaching the next milestone. I basically act as if I have a publisher. This helps me avoid thinking.It's worked so far.
My marketing plan? Hoping people are dumb enough to LOVE my game and then suddenly it gets popular for no reason.

>>488801164Sorry, I'm just being a cunt. Couldn't help it.I'm actually legit interested in how you're so confident but I'm pretty sure you won't actually show your game due to how annoying people here can be.
Working on upper back and arms. Anatomy hard :(
>>488801469Because I have a huge checklist of everything I need to do for my game, I already passed the halfway point of development, I did everything possible to make the process as smooth as possible, and the 1 year estimate is an overestimation to give myself a time buffer. The game might be in a finished state within2 months. From that point on it's just a question of how much more content I can jam into it.
>>488801716where are her organs
>>488801347>thinks years is a long time to get good at somethingAnd you can grind out self-contained parts of your "dream game" or make a retardedly simple version of it at first and then keep iterating and expanding. The point is don't try to build a cathedral when you haven't even built a shack. Modern game engines and inexperience collude in making newbies feel like they can do anything.
>>488801978in her boobs
I just want to fucking RELAX and start enjoing things again...
>>488802265calm down
>>488801990The people who put off making their dream game until they're ready "one day" will never make it. It's the ultimate crab trap, like people who put off writing a novel until they get that promotion, until they have kids, until the kids leave the house, and then you're an old man who ran out of time. You start your dream project and then learn as you go.
>>488802515I cant
>>488802632My dream game would take 1billion man hours to create.
>>488803040Instead of spending your weekend working on your game all alone in your room, have you tried meeting up with girls? Go to a bookstore or starbucks or something.
>>488803093Then you'd better get started :)
>>488803207No. I will dream a smaller game, pong survivors
>>488802094Holy shit, what if we bioengineered women to keep their lungs in their tits? Not only would they have smaller waisted, but their boobs would also be huge and puffy. Why isn't anyone researching this?

>>488803201I don't want an outgoing girl, I want to meet a hikkikomori girl on her 2am run to the conbini
>>488801347So let me offer different perspective here. I am making small games to prove to myself I can make a bigger game, but I also need to improve my skills and earn income over the years.I released my first game last year and it's on track to make about 10k$ in its first year. Not sustainable at all but it will help me get to the next. My next game will be out within a few months, I actually started it before releasing the other game I mentioned so this will be a couple years in the making. I would absolutely not call these projects shitty little projects I don't care about, they are going to be arguable best in class in their genre (at least in one specific direction or another) or close. I also don't know exactly what my "dream game" would entail exactly but at the very least it's probably something that would require future tech. Also future game design, which I probably will have to contribute to directly through some of my next projects, but I can only do that if I can gain financial stability from a shorter term project. If I never find success in my 1-3 year projects then I probably won't be able to pursue making a "dream" game but at least I'll still make great games.

I am loosing it. How the fuck to make a simple outline for text in Unity? Why such a simple functionality is so problematic? Am I missing something? There is no way I have to manually edit the font for such trivial and common usecase? I just want THICC outline but it gets caught pretty bad on any shader I try.

Made some more improvements to the AI. Basically now I have aggressive and passive mobs. Aggressive attack the player no matter what, while passive will wait to be hit by anything, then become aggressive on it. You can see this happening in the webm.I think that's all the basic AI I need for now. Think I'm going to work on adding new useful items, and maybe an equipment screen.

>>488807289or you could make a game
I realized something about agdg “devs”. You don’t want to create great games, you want to create meme games. The type that take about 10-15 minutes to play and have a chance of getting “memed” into virality. The reason for this is because making a great game, with technical skill and depth, that a player can enjoy for 100+ hours and is truly evergreen is very difficult. And deep down, despite the outward feigning of over-confidence you display online, you know you don’t have what it takes (skill, IQ, vision) to make a great game. So you settle for a meme game.
>>488807447Basically instead of copy and pasting state machine code around, I can just define one class with all my states, and have those states just call stub functions. Then I can just extend the base class, code the states I want and leave the rest as stubs, and it will work for every use case. For example, say I want two actors to act exactly the same, except one wanders around, and one stays put. I can just change the "passive" state function, leaving the rest exactly the same.

>>488809781
>>488809683If you genuinely believe it isn't possible to make something that people across generations can enjoy then you need to get off 4chan and give your brain some time to heal.Normal, functional people don't look at media and think "this is for zoomers, I can't enjoy this". There are plenty of millennials who enjoy stuff that's mainly popular with gen Z (games like Undertale or Omori). There are plenty of zoomers who enjoy stuff that came before their time and was made for millenials (the PS1 graphics trend for example). The majority of the population doesn't have the same contrarian brainrot dictating their decisions about what they're allowed to like and what they must hate. That mode of thinking is unique to this website (thank God).

I have this problem/bug in my game does anyone know a solution to it by any chance? Ive heard its called tunneling, basically I want the player to be able to prop themselves up with a separate collision box so I have that seperate collision box set the players velocity to 0 if its colliding with a tile, but if the player falls too fast the collision box sort of sinks into the tile and then I have to jump to the surface of it before I can jump normally, Ive also noticed that it does something similar in corners

what are your favorite types of random events / minigames that you have genuinely enjoyed? Interested in more novel gameplay mechanics to mix things upExamples like:-escort missions-capture a territory-etc
- improved explosion particles- added terminal to toggle platform movement- added blood splatter particles that collide with the world- solid blocks that don't break- reduced zoom a bit

>>488822560>>488822774A bit part of pixel art is that it's a restrictive art form where you want to represent objects with few pixels and want to be as deliberate as possible with every pixel. The higher the resolution of the objects, the further away the work is from pixel art.

>pixel artspeaking of boring things,what is the number one feature, that bores players out of their minds?>long, written tutorials without examples
>>488824121No, but a big part of it is the restriction (mostly of resolution). There's no official definiton but if your "pixel art" images have as much detail as normal illustrations, then it's just illustration sans antialiasing.
>>488824659now give it a walking animation, cris still hasn't been able to nail those

>>488825017Sorry, I don't play Chinese or African or Indian games. Pixel art is really a modern thing, just like boomer shooters. When pixel art was drawn that way because of technical limitations, that was just art.

>>488764170People underestimate how much money can be gotten from a game with small reviews. That game made 200-300k USD. But then again multiple people and a publisher was behind it, so the idea of profit is much different.
There honestly isn't a single good AGDG pixel artist

>>488826935That's an inner circle game albeit
PIXEL ART is art that is made with deliberate and controlled placement of pixelsit's often placing individual pixels, but lines and circles and fills are also okay, as long as the artist has FULL DELIBERATE CONTROL over where each pixel goesif you use tools and techniques that don't have pixel-level control (such as a normal photoshop brush which smears the colors and has a blurry burder) then you're not making pixel art (even though yes obviously every raster image on your computer is made of pixels)as a consequence (but not a required criterion) of this definition, most pixel art tends to be>low resolution>low color countbecause controlling a drawing to the level of a pixel takes a lot more time compared to other digital drawing methodsBut if you do take the hours, you can make a huge as fuck detailed high-rez drawing. And it still counts as pixel artHowever, because pixel art tends to be low resolution and low color palette, and its appeal is often seen as making clever use of the confined space and limited palettes, it stands to reason that making pixel art that results in an image with high resolution and an unlimited color count defeats the purpose, especially if it gets so big that you can't tell the pixel-level details without zooming inthis has nothing to do with nostalgia, art that "looks bad", laziness, low skill, or trannies

Almost done, need some plant I guess.
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
>>488827228also because of the "deliberate control" criterion, pixelizing a non-pixel-art image to achieve the "low-rez" look (like what Dead Cells does, by rendering 3D models as pixels) is also not called "pixel art"needless to say but i said it>>488827573booba
I think Horbro is unironically a better artist than 90% of the AGDG nodevs here.
>>488827573Very nice and interesting to see the processNot a fan of the colors in the final result. It could look so much prettier.
ya nah if it looks like pixel art ima call it pixel art
>>488826951The right is not retro, it's minimalist. There are different kinds of pixel art.
>>488827794What color do you suggest?
>>488826951Right is just Commode/Amiga style. Of course weebs wouldn't really know it.
Honestly, what I need to turn this render into a 2D art one.
>>488828062Add a tiny hat.
>>488827906There is no shading. I understand if that's an artistic choice but it looks like it was drawn by an artist but colored by a child like it was paint-by-numbers.
>>488827573I can't tell if the characters on the left are supposed to be physically standing there or if they are just painted on the wall.I assume it's the latter but if it's the former give them a drop shadow.
>>488828192I also had the same objection to the UI in the space launch orbit whatever game. Nice lines and illustration, bad colors. Maybe it's just me.
>>488828003Commodore was more like this
>>488827231Almost like SHARTformers are the second most cookie-cutter genre after vertical shmups.
>>488826935I miss her...
>>488826951I kinda miss this era when every other indie game looked like this and tried to shoehorn in some sort of "video games can be art!!!" message. It was a more sincere time.
>>488825446>When pixel art was drawn that way because of technical limitations, that was just art.Also modern """pixel artists""" would hate the fact that they'd photograph modeling clay or art, and what gave it that pixelized style was the shit hardware and codecs they had at the time
>>488821583He seems alright. He's got some encouraging philosophies about being a gamedev and creativity in general. I can see him influencing a lot of younger beginners.
>>488828192>There is no shading.It is because It is not done yet. I chose a pure black style for this project. Like pic related.>I also had the same objection to the UI in the space launch orbit whatever game. The ui is a placeholder until I decide to commit to a style for it.
>>488828628Eh? What is it now?
>>488827680they don't care, they just want to bring others down to feel better about their lack of art stills >>48882776990% yeah, "best pixel artist" no.
At what resolution does it stop being pixel art and becomes regular art?
>>488827680>pixelizing a non-pixel-art image to achieve the "low-rez" lookbut anon this is what most studios did back when pixel art was just called "art"They didn't mean to pixelize it, it's just the best computers could do
>>488828997when its bigger than 640, 480.
>>488824767>here is that key for the door all the way at the other end of the environment which you already passed
>>488828997anything bigger than 128x128 isn't pixel art
>>488827769I am the 10%
>>488825790>psx game>1280x720
oh man oh fuck. i put two of my 128x128 sprites next to eachother. it's not pixel art anymore.
>>488828997when individual pixels stop conveying a single element.
Is a singular square pixel art
>>488829304What counts as an element?
>>488828997There's no clear cut, but once your character sprites are well over a hundred pixels tall(especially if it's not a fighting game), it starts to look low-rez regular art.
>>488828997Pixel art is pixel art, no matter whether it's 720p of 8k
I am pondering if it would be worth it to do an animated isometric pixel art system where characters are split into 10 separate sprites and animated like skeletal 3d meshes, like picrel (a 1995 beta of the sims 1).It would certainly be easier to program for and make assets for than 3D, but there are some potential pitfalls, mainly storage/memory usage.Let's say each "sprite part" is a 32x32 sprite, and there are 10 "bones"/"parts" per character. Each part also, in addition to being moved and rotated, has alternate sprites for different directions the part is facing. Let's say 4. Let's also say the color depth is 4 bytes per pixel.Therefore 32x32x4x4x10=163KB per character "sprite model".Now let's compare this to 3D models --Let's say that the 3D model is 1024 triangles and 384 vertices. Each vertex is 64 bytes -- enough to hold a position, color, uv coordinate, normal value, bone joints, and bone weights. Each triangle is 3 integers -- 12 bytes per triangle. Also, there would be a 128x128 atlas texture, with 4bpp.So -- (1024*12)+(384*64)+(128*128*4)=102KB per model...
by the waywho's the dev that made this? Is he still around?
>>488829604that was me, and it was made by Dall-E
>>488829604Yeah, the game's called Project Landsword. He posted progress last week.
>>488828997It's not about resolution. It's about the process and the style resulting from it. This is why the character sprites of the old, low-res mortal kombat games were not pixel art while blazblue's are, despite being much higher resolution.
>>488829604We found out a few days ago that the pilot is canonically a male to female transgender (190cm and 100kg of pure testosterone built muscle)
>>488829745Insincere post.
>>488829604What prompt? Guessing not Dall-E or Midjourney. Must be stable diffusion.
>>488829058i knowmortal kombat is just real life people dressing up and photographing themit's not pixel art then, it's a technique to make work easier and faster BECAUSE pixel art by nature is tedious and costly
>>488830042Prompt is "A noose to hang myself with". Happy prompting
>>488829561...Actually, the sprite models could be smaller than 3d models hypothetically.If the sprites were color-indexed, i.e used a 256-color palette, then they could just have 1 byte per pixel. And if the sprites were 16x16, that would definitely cut things down. So even if there were like 16 bones,(16x16x4x16)=16KB per sprite model.
>>488764895Gobby, you had it already with jumpgob, why pretending that you have a problem with it when you solved it 4 months ago?
>>488829761Found it, thanks.

i am so sick of seeing this fucking turk
After reading learncpp while in tandem watching a beginner cpp course I am finally starting to understand coding. I didn't finish the course and stopped for a few weeks but I feel like I can look at a block of code and at least understand its structure and guess what some of it is doing now. I still need to put it to practice so maybe I'll follow along with some tuts on youtube for making crappy unreal engine games or gamedev.tv courses. All I can say so far is that I have a unquenchable desire to create something, being idle for weeks frustrates me, and that I want the game to pander to and satisfy me irregardless if it financially does well because I want something I can casually play repeatedly.Maybe Im at a point in my 20's where I desire purpose because even gooning pisses me off its so fruitless
will take basically another day to do the freestyle pass by hand.
>>488806635I use the same model of monitor that Notch used 12 years ago.

>>488834678Hello Cris if that really is you. You're quite an interesting person, I have heard a lot about you. I respect your dedication to creating things for 7 years. I have a background in 2D and 3D art so if you would like Critique I could offer you some to help your characters be more appealing. Godspeed on whatever it is you are doing.
>>488829604Hey, that's my game. It's called Landsword as the other guy said.>>488829949My idea was that Martians are usually taller than Earth-born people due to better genetics and nutrition on top of the lower gravity. All the male characters are probably going to be between 6'5" and 6'7" in height. also literally everyone on the base is either a steroid or cocaine addict
>>488835093I've been studying 2D and 3D for years.My issue is my lazyness, less a lack of theory.I want to see where I can push that athena, so I can make HD sprites.But likely I'm still lacking the freestyle pass, create the inner lines, do the face normal editing, and make texture alpha mask to have multimaterial meshes.Will take me around 2-3 days more of work before is finished.
It's over...
I pity those who just learn about cris and don't know how much of a broken record, dense attention whore he is.

>>488837304if you watch the clip you can see most other people are jacketed up too.
>>488815438milkshakes, red bull, hamburgers, steak, potatoes, fruit, fruit juice, ice cream, milk, eggs, oysters, liver
>>488837005May as well use the latest version, just be sure but keep in mind Unreal Engine shaders are kind of broken and need TAA to function. I think there are work arounds people are trying to make so if you care about optimization in any way it's worth looking into https://youtu.be/lJu_DgCHfx4?si=1ZhnPakS9UE0XyuC
>>488810747this is sad. hope you pick something and stop wasting time already
>6 hours gooning>30 minutes working on the gameHow do I fix this
>>488837482Never heard of that website but unreal engine has its own forums and community tutorials hosted in their own websiteCheck this guy out if you want to get started with blueprintshttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLziQlhUd357jEk5y77AHniPa2ywcMExlG&si=FZdNaQFalrEUwi0z
>>488819886people just use whatever is native to the engineIm using godot so I use gdscriptif I was using unity itd be C#
>>488834491>20sShitIm almost 35
>>488838192
>>488835150>not denying the tranny thingwtf
>>488838192goon faster
>>488838192Depending on your age its difficult I'm 26 struggling with gooning, very high libido but you just have to discipline yourself, force your concious to work and reject gooning. Take vitamins, go for a walk/jog, shower and thennsit down with the intention to learn try to stay away from the temptation of gooning
>>488838549He’s an agdg inner circle fag, being a tranny is a requirement. Why are you surprised
does anyone here make video games
Godot bros how would you handle detection of what the cursor is hovering over?>Cursor over an enemy: it will detect it's an enemy and display that. Clicking performs functions for this context (attacking, abilities)>Cursor over an item display its an item clicking will perform the pick up functionDo I give everything an area that detects when the cursor enters? Shoot a ray from the cursor at all times and check for collision?
>>488839618collisionobjects have a property and several signals that lets the mouse interact with them
>>488839618Give it a collision shape (ideally a square) and make it pickable.
>>488839503Me.
>>488839503I don't know, I just got here, it's kind of disappointing.
>>488839503I'm here to meet transwomen
>>488839503i only make engines
>>488838192I just dev while gooning.
>>488837309yeah its insaneat least I take solace in the fact that my competition is this stupid
>>488839503Yeah. Did good progress today with starting a little earlier.
Is it normal to have hundreds of await/yields in your code?
>>488838549>he just denied it by implication that the males are tallerAnon...shes 6'2.8"
>accidently ate an entire 32oz tub of yogurt
>>488788880>I just learned what sleep margin is in Game MakerHow is something so important left hidden? I looked it up and it seems to be important but how would I ever find something like this out just using the engine normally?
>>488839503i do but theyre reeeeeaaaallll bad
>>488839760Ah, so the collision node sends a signal when mouse enters (signal mouseOverItem or mouseOverEnemy for ex) and that signal will activate the contextMouseOverItem bool , running the functions to display the item and will effect the left clicking function, so it will run clickedItem or clickedEnemy instead of the regular click on empty ground.Am I on it or am I going off the rails here I have only made pong and mobile slop clones so far
>>488841191Ate a bag of granola last night while experiencing extreme anxiety and paranoia to the point of seeing shadows move
Why doesn't this speech bubble shrink to fit the text when I change its sprite? As far as I can tell both sprites are identical.
>>488841414sure, but you should use gdscript, not PeeShart
>>488841594I don't know, sorry.
What if you make your game free but put a tip jar button in the menu for people to send whatever amount of money and support they want to you
>>488841870itch.io has that feature. Except a very very low play/donation ratio.
>>488841870I don't think anyone would donate money to my game.
>>488841870nobody donates. Just have a deluxe edition with lewd costumes or something
>>488841191>>488841539
I told you branno was a cutie
>>488841191That's not that much yogurt, it's not even a liter.
I need to make a positive use of my lust for lgs by channeling into a creative medium such as game dev like Lewis Carroll did with his.
>>488839618you make the cursor a sprite and give it collision
And done, maybe rework it a little tomorrow.
>>488841952Does steam have anything against such a feature>>488842021Probably don't do it then>>488842116Hmmmm, no
>>488842351I did the math, it was only about 1200 calories. I don't feel as bad now.95 grams of fat though
>>488842427nta, how do you it so that eg a menu resolves a click and doesnt propagate to its child controls?
>>488842593>Does steam have anything against such a featureYes.
I'm sorry, I'm just this shit has been asked a trillion times, but I have no clue which engine to useI know there was a huge drama before with unity, are things good now or do I discard it?UE5 and Godot seem fun too, but man I have no fucking idea which one to actually learn
it's pronounced gah dough
>>488842865If you have to ask this question, it doesn't matter.
>>488842865Just pick one and do the fucking game. Unity is good enough.
>>488842865if you need to ask unity is your engine
>>488788880Post your game, anon. I'm a Game Maker user and I'm curious how it's set up. Depending on how complex the actual systems are it could be an easy fix using global variables.
>>488842578looks kind of weird and unfinished tbqh
No Tomo, no dev.Did I stutter?I said,>No Tomo, >No Dev.
>>488842983>>488842989>>488843025Thank you bros
why is it so hard to find tutorials for making game art?
>>488843090I miss Tomo but I will still dev.
>>488843090>>488843169I hope one day Tomo will return and make some Immersive Progress
>>488843154>>488772362making games is not for you
Give me good ideas for a game
>>488843393Skyrim but you are a dragon.
>>488843258I'm currently Immersing myself in Tomo. I'll let her know you've been missing her.
>>488843393dating sim but you're the girl being chased by guys and you have to put them down easy or you get murdered
can i just be on a team, i dont want to work alone anymorei hate it
>>488842865It doesnt really matter. You can do most same things in any engine but that depends on your knowledge and competence. godot isnt the best for 3D from what I heard so just use ue5 or unity if its a 3D game.
>>488843393You're playing a brain parasite and need to reshape the brain of your host so he can win the American election
Give me good idea for a detective/mystery game
>>488843802me to, i can do godot programming
>>488843802What game do you want to make anon? >>488843927Gives off the vibe of that gamecube game where youre a bee stinging people
>>488844023i can do godot modeling and animating... do you want to... maybe...>>488844043a detective game (3D)
>work on sex scene>add graphics>test functionality>instantly become hornyThis already feels better than the game I'm copying
>>488800452I hate how true this is. If only I could go back in time and release my game in the early 2010s. The bar was so low Id get hundreds of reviews easy
>>488808008>(skill, IQ, vision)You can have all of these but the biggest problem is time. Especially for the one man armies. If you want to make the evergreen you mention you are going to need a large team. If you do it yourself you're looking at years of non stop work. It can be done. People have done it. Look at Manor Lords. Most of it was built by a solo indy dev.>hur dur manor lords sucksthat's not the point. The point is that a single person had the skill to make all that. Now his, and our, biggest enemy is time. How much time do we allow ourselves to spend developing our dream game. How would the be different if we had a full team at our disposal. It's not a skill issue. It's a time issue. Don't reply to me you piece of shit.
>>488843954please respond
what's the perfect outline width in pixels for 2D art?
alert: my number went.up
>>488843750That's just Class of 09
>>488843954film noir city setting. rat crime boss and his goons are up to no good. You're a dog detective in a raincoat who has seen too much. you've been drinking too much when a dame steps into your office. She needs your help. You tell her to find someone else. She says you are the best, that someone told her to look you up. You ask her who. She says it's your brother who's been dead for 10 years.
>>488844545Yes.
>>488844081Ooh detective game sounds fun. I love watching murder mysteries and conspiracy shows. Mind Hunters, Law and Order SVU, Prisoners (Hugh Jackman movie), Law Abiding Citizen, A Few Good Men, etc. I'm pretty good at 2D and 3D art but I'm not entirely sold in working with strangers on 4chan
>>488843954crime scene simulator in the style of meme games like surgeon simulator. you have to lift fingerprints, take pics of the body, mark shit idk, whatever those csi guys do. you get points for accuracy and avoiding "accidents".
>>48884395a detective with the ability to mimic people, so you can manipulate people into sharing secrets
>>488844629Sounds like gay furry shit but I appreciate the response regardless.>>488844806Thanks, I like this one.
the older i get the more i realize it's not about having a great idea, not about making your dream game or any of that. it's just about treating it like a job and being consistent.stable job is the opposite of lottery.
>godot permanently turned my textures green because I used them as normal maps in blenderhahahahahaha.
>>488844720>I'm pretty good at 2D and 3D artpost your work?
>>488844720>Ooh
>>488844951the dame is a cat. she has green eyes and long blond hair and legs that go down forever until you see her sparkling gala shoes. they are partially covered in mud. she has been running. why was she running. you look back at her beautiful face and notice she's panting. she's out of breath. she drops and leaves a puddle of blood on your office floor. she's dead. The booze is fogging up your mind. Was this really happening? You walk up to the body. Such a shame. So young. She's still holding on to a piece of paper. You rip it from her hands. It's your brother's handwriting, you recognize it after all these years.
>>488845229The grass is always greener on Godot!
>>488841594I mean width changed when you dragged it in, but I'd have to fuck around with ui myself to figure out how to avoid that
>>488845373The booze, I should lay off the booze. You scold yourself as you reach for your glasses. Why did she have to bleed all over the persian. Why tonight. And why this note? You put your glasses on and unfold the paper for a second time. You carefully read your brother's note.It reads Detective Games are fucking lame

>>488849823CrabAlso>he thinks he can make a good game in only 2 monthsLol, lmaoNGMI
>>488850738I made a game in a week and another in a month and both have brought in thousands of dollars, how many released games are you sitting at chud?
>>488851764What games did you make? Post 'em.
>>488851921No thanks I've been on the internet long enough to know associating with this general brings zero value
>>488852183>He's afraid to show his rushed slopKek!
>>488852274Yeah you got me! I'm so worried about the opinions of "game devs" that haven't made a single cent off their years long projects! So I ask again, how many games have you released?
>>488852426Google "The Witness"
>>488852426>Still dodging the question>Projecting ngmi-ness onto othersGuess you're confirming your rushed slopdev allegations then, yes?
>>488852669>dodging the question>says the guy who didn't even answer my question after 3 postsSo what are you doing then
>>488852764Well, what are *you* doing?Besides, your "question" is the kind of pointless loaded question a disingenuous tard like you would ask, so it's pointless to answer such a question.
>>488852764I bet there are three other anons behind those posts, of which one has released something.
>>488853002>>488853015dodging questions, enjoy 10 dollars once your 30 year passion project comes out (a psx style indie horror depression game with earthbound references and pixel art sprites instead of 3d models)
>>488853015>1/3 non-rushers make a game>3/3 rushers make a game>0/3 rushers make a good gameHeh!>>488853156>More disingenuous projection/fallacyingJust post your game already so I can see how many people gave you negative reviews kekadoodle doo
>>488853156What game do (You) have? Mobileslop?
>>488853368I'll post it the second you post me a single completed project you released on the internet
>>488853954So you either don't actually have a game then and are just being a troll or all your games suck. Got it!
>>488854196>No you have to answer my question even though I never answered yours!!!11!!kys no game dev
>>488854881>
>>488854967
>>488855321>No response but "uhhh the games you make will be like this trust me! even though you don't want to make games like this! I win! Waaah"You lost.
>>488855526You will never release anything in your life, not even a demo. You will spend years without making a cent or impact on anyone or anything, and then you will look at yourself in the mirror and realize the game you have been making for 10+ years is a steaming pile of dog shit. Enjoy the thread though :3
>>488855794>more seethingYou have lost this argument. Ciao!
Working on this. Appreciate any feedback. Game will be free when it's done in a year.- Utsuro-Bune
>>488858409looks cool. any gameplay footage?
>>488858747For sure. I post some gameplay videos on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/6527kg).I plan on having a demo out sometime next month so I'll definitely submit to the next demo day
