It's over...
My code is literally impeccable. There's just one issue. It uses so many nested trees of nodes to the point that while it technically lets you do everything that you want to do in the most convenient way possible, you can't actually use it because it's so slow.
>>488846416Those are very contradicting statements.
I wish I could share my soup with all my devfriends. One day when I'm a rich and famous game developer I'll invite you guys over to my mansion to have a big party.
hit me up if you wan to make a 3d detective game in godot (i will be the 3d artist + some pgoramming + game design + ideas guy)

>>488846758*hits you*
>>488847354Cris please fix the arms, hands, and face. I want to see you succeed but those are the areas lacking the most in appeal.
Guys, I'm pretty sure this is the worst /agdg/ yet
>cris discovered toon shaders
>>488847562I agree. I have progress to post. I don't even have a game. I'm what you might call, a nodev...
>>488846758bruh, this is a terrible place to find a team, go on discord and join some game dev communities
>>488847701>I agree. I have progress to post.had me in the first half
>>488847514I need now to make first the textures.
>cris is unironically producing shit that's better than what I can makeyeah... I don't know about this whole game dev thing, fellas
>>488847731i have avoidant personality disorder, i only feel comfortable socializing through 4chan, and playing pretend. basiclally roleplaying like im going to team up with someone and make games togehter (which will never happen, but for a moment it fills me with endorphings)
>>488847639It's a normal shader only with specular and shadows hand painted on the texture.toon shaders simply give that cheap toon shader look, and to fix that is easier to draw everything by hand on the texture.
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.
>>488846516>>488846830It's a joke.The code is exactly what I set out to make. It's generic and reusable. There's no spaghetti. Every feature lets you compose functionality. Make a bullet with a CharacterBody2D/Sprite2D/CollisionShape2D and you just slap nodes onto it to make it do whatever you want like damaging things, applying status effects, spawning aoes, whatever.I just know in advance that every time I turn something into a node instead of a data-oriented structure, the amount of stuff that the game can do at the same time plummets.
>>488848345I don't know, sorry.
Idea for a superhero game>suicide man>"Halt! In the name of the law!">PRESS F>suicideman shoots his magical rope onto the ceiling.>"I will deliver justice to you evildoers!">PRESS E>suicideman ties a noose and puts it around his neck>"SUPER SUICIDE ACTIVATE!">PRESS SPACEBAR (hold to struggle)>suicideman jumps in the air, the noose snaps his neck.That's all I have for now
>>488848417when you say "nodes", are you talking about those horrible blueprints from unreal engine?
>>488848519Sounds more like a youtube skit than a game.
>>488848621Godot's nodes. But really I'm just talking about heap-allocated objects.
My art is figuratively flawed. There's no issues at all. It avoids few flat leaves of connections to the point that although it conceptually prevents you from doing nothing that you dislike doing in the least inconvenient manner impossible, you can effortlessly misuse it because it's so ugly.
>>488848695even as an idea guy, I suck
>>488848621>godotard tries to insult unreal and accidentally shits on his own engineKek
>>488848345When you swap sprites the Image Type changes from Tiled to Sliced.
post porn games progress
>>488848417Something that "does everything" is by definition underdeveloped as it doesn't actually have a purpose. The sooner you realize how worthless abstraction layers are the best.What you seem to be doing is a trait/interface system which can be done far more simply and should be limited to common behavior that can't be inherited.
>>488848990I've never touched both engines. Actually I'm a master race Unity dev. The only nodes I care about are those found in datastructures. But you nodelets wouldn't understand.
Should I have a publisher publish my game or YOLO it and do all the publishing shit myself?
Suicide man //Take 2>Super hero>immortal>he kill himself and his enemies mimic him.>His super duper ultimate ability is actual suiciah fuck this fucking dude sucks shit
>>488849480You literally couldn’t find a publisher to touch your game if you spent the next 10 years trying lol
cleverly avoiding the tactics curse by virtue of making an RPG
>>488849984The rain is full of soul
>>488848345I tried to replicate this, but I can't. Width just follows child TMP text
>>488849719suicide man's real power is that everytime he kills himself, he comes back as someone else.
>>488849719how old are you
>>488850292398why?
>>488849719I think it could be interesting if you made it so his targets have super powers and are only vulnerable to specific things. Otherwise he could kill anyone by shooting himself or jumping into a wood chipper.Alternatively, take away his immortality. He can make others mirror his actions in some way but he also needs to find a way to survive the damage so the challenge is twofold: assassinate the target and find a way to survive the assassination. I think it would create an interesting dynamic where his plans always need to have a way to beat them.The problem is that making this game would be like making Hitman twice over so perhaps a little too ambitious.
Sigh.. I don't think I can make my 3d shitpost game until I do some tutorials..It's back to the basics, knowing the engine for 2d use isn't like knowing it for 3d..
>>488850292you can really just tell when some posters are summerfags

>>488850553Hmm another shitpost game dev, I've got competition
>>488850683>i'm swastika years oldand the weather is heil hitler today
>>488850467Clever.Personally, I didn't even think of it as an assassination game. More of an action game. Which clearly wouldn't work.>>488850683Hey dude, don't make fun of me. I gave you my age in months, you gave me Hakenkreuz.Your superhero sounds cool tho. Can we add another g? Niggod?
>>488850975>Can we add another g? Niggod?Niggod's power is that whatever you imagine about him is true, so yeah it's already happened.
>>488851159Isn't that a massive weakness?His enemies can just think him out of existence.
>>488851331No, I already imagined that he keeps coming back because he can fit between existences
>>488847354is this cris's redemption arc ?
>>488851159I'm imagining Niggod as a transwoman named Alice.
are we doing it ?
>>488851734Thats fine, I'm basically Niggod's phylactery. He can't be defeated without killing me or at least making me braindead.
>>488851764post'em then big guy

godot wild jam is in 6 days... maybe we could team up and make a little game together...?
workin' on the next levels. this one will have balconies connecting chunks of the level together. i gotta figure how to model it nicely but it's progressing.
>>488846169I like python, its my favorite language for quick scripts/tools I make outside of game dev, but why the fuck did Godot decide it was a good language to emulate for use in a game engine?python is notoriously slow, its about the only major flaw that makes it unsuitable for certain high level applications, including games Id imaginethe dynamic typing in practice isnt the problem haters make it out to be, but for a game you want to have every possible safeguard against errors and static strong typing seems like itd be a mustdoesnt make sense to me

post a random pic from your inspo folder
>>488852042gdscript has static typing and you can make it as strict as you want and the syntax has nothing to do with the language's speedwhy do people feel the need to criticize things they never used
>>488852989I don't have an "inspo folder" so I'll just pick a random pic from my pictures folder
I got it to pixel perfect collisions where I never get stuck in walls or corners and everything is smooth and great EXCEPT the character slips less than a fraction of a pixel into the floor. And if I fix that, the collisions stop being perfect. Ree
>>488852989
My game randomly crashes sometimes and I can't fix them because I don't even understand what's causing them because the shitty engine I use fucking sucks... It's over for me, isn't it?
>>488852989ok
i cant do it
>>488853724yes you can!!!!!
>>488848519>>488848695Reminds me of Burnt Face Man

>>488853339Inspiration for the game I'm currently working on (pic related) or generic inspiration?
modeled and rigged this thing, not sure if I'm happy with the proportions or not, I might make it wider.
>>488852989https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/27517all of these
>>488852293gdscript is interpreted which inherently makes it slower than a good compiled langmakes it faster to prototype because you dont have to wait for it to compile I think a language that can be both interpreted and compiled would be ideal
>>488853862Also today was a "let's take a stroll through a minefield" kind of day.(Better video: https://files.catbox.moe/a7srft.mp4)

Reminder that if you add an attractive female character with a memorable design to your game women will willingly dress up as her at conventions assuming you make it.
>>488854514Yeah, ok, but what if they're ugly?
>>488854514I have no idea which are women. Far too dangerous
>>488854514That's great and all, but I don't want women anywhere near my game. They don't have taste and would only ruin it with their stupid woman stuff.
Are udemy tutorials any good?
>>488854734That's alright, send them over to me.
>>488854709The more popular your game becomes the higher the incentive for top tier ewhores and cosplayers to dress up as your character to capitalize on internet attention.>>488854721Fair enough, that's a legitimate concern.
my head hurts
Well, I'm not sure about that one desu. But it will appears in a small ui so good enough.
>>488854892Is there, perhaps, a chance that they'd be admiring me, too?>>488855119No need, I can smell you from here, Schwein.
>>488854514why do so many guys here give a shit about cosplayers? my second game had one female cosplayer that I know of (she emailed me a few pics after Halloween) and I thought it was kinda weird. my games are for playing and giving me money, not for dressing up or writing fanfic
>>488849063that isn't the cause>>488850112can you screenshot your settings?
>>488855595Lmao gay ass nigga
>>488854656>6 toes>drawn by alphonse
>>488855595you had a dream gamedev gf pass you by and you just thought it was weird? how fucking gay are you
>>488852989Saved a lot of weird shit back when I was working on a Pokémon-but-old-World-of-Darkness-style project.Might get back to it one day, but the conclusions of all that research was that I would need AAA budget to credibly make it, no way to make it on the cheap & dirty.
>>488855595Larp or gay
>>488855958I think gay people post stuff like this as some sort of humiliation fetish hoping other people tell them how gay they are.
Just trying to wrap my head around this >if I move an object one unit per frame at 60 fps, it moves 60 units per second >Time.deltaTime gives the elapsed time in seconds since the last frame, meaning if update runs at 60fps, deltaTime will be 1/60th (of a second)>multiplying an object moving one unit per frame at 60 frames per second by deltaTime means it will now moves at one unit per *second* This means acceleration *also* needs to be multiplied by deltaTime though, right? Given acceleration is units per second squared.If you want speed to increase by one unit/second every second, you'd have to increment by 1 unit * deltaTime every frame. Otherwise your acceleration would depend on framerate.
>>488855659I deleted it from my canvas already, but I pretty much copied everything I could from webm
>>488856308All I know is, you have to multiply by deltatime if you want whatever you are trying to achieve to be frame rate independent.
>>488853142gdscript only recently added static typing and its not true static typing, its more like flags for the interpreter so that it doesnt have to infer types>you can make it as strict as you want and the syntax has nothing to do with the language's speedfirst of all inferring types does affect speed, but if you had actually read my post I was clearing saying the potential problem with dynamic typing is errors not speed>why do people feel the need to criticize things they never usedyoure literally describing yourselfGodot is the main engine I use
>>488855595honestly if some woman dressed up as one of my game's characters I'd assume it's just some e-whore trying to market herself to suckers. at least it'd mean my game was successful enough to garner enough horny male fans to be worth advertising to.
>>488855749>>488855862>>488855958for one, she was on another continentand it wasn't a sexy coombait outfit eitherbut I've alsways found cosplayers and other fandom annoying. it's like that comic where a girl joins some hobby group and disrupts it by making herself the center of attention. and you know they don't care about the game/movie, they just use costumes as bait to draw attention from the work to themselves.
>make competitive shooter gaem>make everything frame rate dependent>force different framerates on different maps>add shitty, unoptimized particle effects on certain parts of the map>best skins, most unoptimized>inconsistent enough to make aimbots uselessgod fucking damn, I'm a fucking genius.

Friend told me to drop the full black shadow. /agdg/, is he right?
>>488854427you've explained to me multiple times how this works, but i still can't figure it out. i tried setting up entities and burst and i couldn't get anything to spawn. it did bring my game up to 1000FPS tho'ever
>>488857252Looks like ass in the first pic, looks ok in the second one
>>488857252yes, but you went too far I think, layer them halfway
>>488857252ah, it's you
>>488854427How does this not destroy your CPU? Are they all following the same AI behavior tree? This many individual ticking skeletal meshes would absolutely nuke any top of the line pc
>>488857252Left looks good for the second scene but right looks better on the first. Left kinda works for the third but the terrain is hard to visually grasp anyways, looks like you have shadows coming from multiple directions.
>>488856632Over 5 years ago is not "recently" and I have no idea what your issue is since you can make static typing mandatory in your project.And again, python-like syntax has nothing do to with how typed or not it is and syntax has nothing to do with speed.

>>488856308moving rigidbodies should happen in fixedupdate (add a force, use RigidBody.MovePosition to move with interpolation settings, or set position directly to teleport, maybe slight differences between 2d/3d physics). Calculate the speed change in units per second then multiply by Time.fixedDeltaTime. You can adjust how many physics updates happen per frame. You can see how many times per second fixedupdate runs by going to Edit > Project Settings > Time > Fixed Timestep then calculating 1 / (that value). The default is 50 physics updates per second.

>>488857589you are so fucking stupid and functionally illiterateI never criticized the syntax I clearly said python is my favorite language and thats in large part due to the syntaxI said that interpreted languages and dynamic typing make for a slower language than a compiled strong statically typed languagethis is empirically true with gdscript, which even if you use type flags everywhere you can, still underperforms C#>you can make static typing mandatory in your project.how? is there a setting in the editor/interpreter? or do you just mean that you can make it "mandatory" as a matter of practice?
>>488788880I'm the anon who found out last night that my game has had a fucked up framerate for three years due to arcane Game Maker Studio bullshit.I decided to run the game with the original sleep margin of 1 and collect a sample of the average delta time, hoping that it averages to a common framerate on consoles like 40. If it does, then I can just change the game to run at that framerate, and still be able to port to Switch without any issues. Turns out it rounds to roughly .02 seconds. Which is 50 fps. It's technically closer to 49, but for obvious reasons I'd rather the game run at a clean 50 than 49.I made a fucking PAL game on accident.
>>488859515thats a man
I know nothing about Godot, but from what I know about Python, since it's a script, all the code should be human readable when you run it as opposed to a compiled binary you'd have to reverse engineer.So does that mean all Godot games release their source code too?

>>488857252No, but your artwork only has full black shading whereas anything else I can think of like Etrian Odyssey or Darkest Dungeon have the full black shading in addition to normal shading. Same with something like 1940's Batman. Etrian Odyssey in particular also has a lot of glossy metal, latex, or hair that I think full black shading looks particularly good on because glossy materials can look like that naturally. It fits in Darkest Dungeon too because everything is lit by your one torch.

>>488861153Yes, absolutely. Here's a pretty recent example:>ex-Hearthstone player/streamer (pic related) put out a big announcement that he's making a digital card game to compete with Hearthstone.>He put out some videos of him playtesting a very early pen-and-paper prototype of the game.>This guy has a ton of money so there was actual hype from card game players that something playable would come out of this.>Then a bit further into development he announced the game would no longer be constructed like Hearthstone, instead it would be a deckbuilder>People were a bit confused by the shift in direction but still pretty positive.>Then even further into development, after he had already taken Kickstarter funding for the deckbuilder from retards like me, he announced that the game was going to be some sort of autobattler shit>By now he had completely ostracized the game from his card game audience that had been following since the initial announcement>The game is finally releasing pretty soon after years of development with literally no hype since all the fans fucked offLong story short you will almost certainly make major changes to your game's direction between the initial prototyping and release. Marketing a very early build opens yourself up to people becoming attached to content or mechanics that may not ever end up in the final game. Look at Edengrall, that game started out as something completely different than what it is now.

>>488863220I know what you mean, I've seen many examples of what you're describing. The difference with this guy is that he actually seemed to understand that you need a game to be fun and appeal to casuals if you ever want to have an actual audience. He wasn't like one of those ex-pro Magic spergs who tries to "fix Magic" with his own game that ends up being some clunky hypercompetitive shit that no casual player wants to touch with a ten foot pole. He has some videos early on in the game's development where he talks about game feel and class identity and what the average player finds appealing, something no competitive nerd even thinks about.

>>488864383There are only 5 gamedev skillsWritingProgrammingSoundArtDesignWriting means actual work like dialogue, narration, flavor text. If you do not do those things then any ideas you have for writing are worthless.Design means actual work like level design, not ideaguying. Only real developers who do real work are capable of having good ideas.

>>488865071Then how do you keep large volumes of information organized?Spreadsheets are essential for this.
>>488865325Cris shut up.
>>488864657it actually was him guys
>>488865516>it was actually this guy switching from wanting to make a detective game to wanting to make a 6 player horde co-op in a matter of hoursI'm surprised it's legit, but at the same time I don't think I'd want to work with someone who's showing signs of terminal idea guy syndrome. His models are nice at least.
>>488865139Make something that looks good to gamers and dont give a shit about amatuer art dev fags The problem with tring to make appealing art for artdev agdg fags is they are so negative they say something looks bad even if it looks good because they are jealous they didn't make it or release a game with it. The toxic crab curse has effected most indie devs and it would be the same on every social media if all of them weren't moderated and anonymous like here is. Its the same on reddit only they are lying to you with positivity while saying out loud to themselves its dogshit while hoping you fail like they did.Its even more hilarious if you make custom assets for everything and not even use AI but everybody who is a dev will claim you used AI or bought assets as a quick way to destroy others from looking at your work SO instead people look at their work and value their work instead of yours.The only thing that matters is gamers. These communities with other devs are only good for picking part some value out of the 100 piles of shitposts you'll get; you will get 1 diamond of feedback.

>>488852989Which one? Lol jk I only have two for a specific future game and those are off limits due to how fierce competition appears to be. The rest of my pics that kinda count as inspo are just scattered about and some don't even have pics eg the dream I had today.With that said I have one pic that should sell the idea of one of my future desired dream games. My dream of making a true exploration game with heavy exploration requires a much higher skill level than I currently have, I need something on par with Skyrim's graphic's alternatively this other game with a different style but it'll sell the game differently. It's the easiest way to describe what kind of graphics I want for it. Nothing higher as more modern triple A looks too realistic and doesn't fit the style I'm going for. I could make a 2D one but it just won't have the same impact that 3D can give, the sense of awe and wonder.>>488854426What game is this? I like the graphics.
>>488865913The air was cold. the streets empty. The note had said "105 central". I suppose it meant grand central station. Then again, it could mean anything. But a lead is a lead, and I've g ot nothing better to do. In the distance the echo of the L-track filled the abondonned city. The darkness was occasionally pierced by a dim street light. For a second I thought I saw someone leaning against the entrance of an alley. When I had looked a second time there was nobody there. 105 Central, I'd better get on with this. I take another sip from the bottle but find it is empty. Guess I'll have to face the music sober tonight, just like 10 years ago. What a night that was. And what a night this turned out to be...
>>488865913I wouldn't trust them either. Very clearly skilled at 2d and 3d but most of their work appear to be sketches and unfinished models. 100% the type of artist to suddenly flake on you as soon as they lose a little interest
>>488866472Niggas will read 0 books their entire life and then try to write on their own lmao
>>488865139If you can't make good looking art, make stylistic art. e.g. draw on paper, take a picture of that paper and us that drawing as your player character.Besides that there are all kind of small things that can improve the look of your game, like shadows and partciles.
>>488866486Just don't make a bad game.
>>488866143it didn't make a bajillion bux and that's what i'm aiming for thoughever
>>488866486There's a lot of these types of people on twitter/tumblr. Very talented artists who want to make game but don't actually have any useful skills for game development outside of being able to draw nice static images or at most make basic 3D models. Always looking for someone to come and somehow magically turn their ideas and existing art into a game that looks exactly how they want it to look.
Even more rigging fun.

>>488866646Who was she anyway. And why had she come to me. And what did she say again about my brother? But that was impossible. He's been dead for years. I try to recall how she put it; "someone told me to look you up". Someone... my brother.... it couldn't have been. Then I remember the note in his handwriting. It WAS his handwriting. But he could have written that years ago and this dame might have been up to no good. To hell with this foolishness, I'm going home. As I turn I spot the dark figure leaning against a wall near the alley again...
>>488866472There's no truth to be found in streets so cold that even the rats have full confidence they're better off hiding in the holes where it's warm. The only thing I'm like to find is God's own scornful wrath, and that's if I'm lucky.

The movement was quick and deliberate. Without much thought I jump to the pavement as a bullet ricochets just above my head against a lamp post. Goddammit, this doesn't look good. I hasten to get my gun unholstered but its stuck. The gunman dissapears into the dark alley. "Consider this a warning!", he screams as he disappears for good. A warning for what?...

>>488871346>>488871346I've seen this sort of hype before and it never ends well for the game. The average person sees something that reminds them of something else they like (in this case probably BOTW). They immediately form a mental connection in their head that this game is going to be like BOTW when it releases. When the game eventually does release it's nothing like the game people thought it would be like, because the game people thought it would be was made by dozens of professional developers and this is an amateur project. It's empty, repetitive, and gets mediocre to bad reviews.I'm kinda worried this is going to happen to Road to Vostok.>>488871883>I don't like this artstyle!

How does building the world map for an open-world game work (in Unity)? Do I just drag shit into the scene? Or have a list of all the game objects somewhere that loads them all in at a designated place? How does distance-based culling work?

Ok, I thought a lot about it. Terraformed and habitable place will have a less harsh shadow than space. It should create a nice contract between space and earth-like place. Maybe a cool effect about shadow becoming less harsh as you terraform a planet.

>>488876120I think the shadow of the large pillar is too long. If you look at the angle of the balustrade's shadow, especially the farthest section, the sun appears to be high up in the sky. Also the shadow of the bridge falling onto the terrain below it seems to be in a different angel than the one of the pillar.

whats the action/verb called when sea animals throw their prey up into the air out of the water to play with it
>>488886575Torture
>>488886575The action you're describing is often referred to as "breaching." In the context of sea animals, particularly in marine mammals like dolphins and some large fish, breaching involves leaping out of the water and sometimes tossing prey into the air. This behavior can serve multiple purposes, including play, communication, and hunting. For example, dolphins are known to engage in this behavior with their prey as a form of play or to disorient their catch.

>>488887835big streamers have business emails for that sort of thing
This is it. Every single core system has been coded and works perfectly except for the biggest system that can singlehandedly break every single other thing. Time to work on other stuff for several weeks and avoid this problem as long as possible.
>>488887935i was thinking of subbing for a long time and then tricking Soda into playing my game. Tricking seems more realistic than just throwing a key at him and praying.
>>488869017It varies, typically 0 hours - 5 hours. It's picking up to the low middle/higher end lately. 4+ years of development, idk actual hours worked.
>>488886329It's WIP.I'm planning on having a flat shaded model and just paint everything on the difusse texture.
I wonder if people will be able to tell I listened to Buttercup by Jack Stauber like 50 times during development.
>>488888251I'm pretty sure streamers prefer getting a business email instead of getting a guilt tripping begging sub message.

>>488889117Harsh, but fair.
>>488871346This unironically covers the concept of a future game I want to make but don't intend on doing anytime soon due to the difficultly of it as a solodev. I have neither pixelgold/amazing 3D tier art skills. I could make do with my coding skill level as I learn along with contracting for audio, but to get the art to that level? Yeah I doubt that'd happen in the next 3 years unless you paid me $50k a year to just stay home and learn art 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. I don't think I'm gonna share my broad ideas anymore. I thought it'd be difficult for any random amatuer dev to copy my broadest ideas so I assumed there'd be near 0 danger of sharing such. Lo and behold this literal 2 man team is far too close to said idea, if they can make that without me even mentioning my idea, then what is the risk in sharing my idea and someone trying to duplicate it as well? Gamedev is truly saturated that team's this small appear out of nowhere and are capable of that. Not the first time I've seen such a skilled indie team.

Maybe big streamers have a few hundered posters whose messages they read for the appearance of a connection with the streamerThe only streamer to ever read my comments was cohhcarnage

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

- 65 minutes work UI This is a menu game, not a parkour one.- 108 minutes work on initial turn implementation. Spent more time diagraming/brainstorming on things I want to implement then I did writing the actual implementation.- 47 minutes on animation- 13 minutes spent on getting a pause menu up- 7 minutes solving some bugsSort of solved my icon size consistency issue by putting the same square behind each icon at 1% opacity so things are trimmed to consistent sizes. I don't like it and it's actually not really useful for UI icons which are scaled to a consistent size anyway, but I can use it for buildings later I guess.Tomorrow I'll probably work on more sensible edge generation, building taking a turn instead of being instant as well as costing money, and population, food consumption, starvation.Also have to start composing some music sooner rather then later if I want anything good by the end of the month

I feel physically sick at the thought of advertising on Twitter, Reddit, and Tiktok. Can I just make a good game and simply market it on:>youtube>steam>itch.ioAnd call it a day? There is just something about going on there that repulses me, like being amongst people I don't even want anywhere near me. Sorta like a job interview where the disgusting interviewer just came out of the restroom and didn't wash his hands but is clearly coming in for a handshake. I can market if I have the right material but I simply do not want to be on any of those 3 platforms to shill my game.

>>488895108>Twitter, Reddit, and TiktokThese are useless anyways, the only people who'll ever see your game are other gamedevs. A good steam page and getting youtubers to play your game will get you far more reach

>>488895108I unironically made several twitter accounts some time ago when I was unsure on what dev name I wanted for myself. I tried signing into one of the accounts without using my home IP at one point.>this account has been suspended for breaking ToSA website where I set up an account and proceeded to do no posting with it. Their logic is probably making fake accounts but how would they know considering, iirc, I IP hopped while creating some of these accounts to avoid the literal joke of a suspicious activity check google and other social media sites do on new account accounts that feel like datamining. I can't even delete it because apparently when you are suspended you're not allowed to delete it and must request unsuspension before deleting. Don't think I ever gave them my real name, address, or birthdate.Not even sure how to go about advertising on twitter. Feels a lot easier just making youtube videos and uploading gameplay. Much easier marketing too since the people going there are probably intrigued by it rather than just some gamedevs or random twitter users just looking for a dopamine hit that never even buy games. If the game is good it in my opinion should have an easy time getting a following, whether you post it on youtube or twitter. I'd rather post on youtube in such a scenario. Feels like theirs a bigger audience of actual gamers that may actually buy your game unlike twitter.

When you get right down to it, all gameplay boils down to waiting for the right time to do the right thing. That's why rhythm games are the best genre.
>>488895908>best community base place, they really distribute your video when you post frequently, i strongly recommend itBut PAT dev did this and look at him.

Hey frens I released an update to my cute AI robot waifu game today.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGHLj5cFGWU
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
I think I'm missing whatever other people have that makes them feel a sense of accomplishment when finishing tasks. I have zero motivation to finish things because I never get any satisfaction from it, it's just a bunch of awful tedious work then it's over then there's a dozen more things to do.
>>488900054Thanks, I figured it out. It doesn't show it if it didn't happen in whatever timeframe is set.
>>488900129did you mocap yourself for those animations?
>>488900245to make a game from start to finish you have to do at least 1000 to 5000 individual tasks if your game is small scope, each new feature add hundred of tasks

>>488900469we're not meant to do this alone, we're supposed to have a gamedev partner.
>>488900850I'm not. I can do everything myself. Or with paid associates. I accept partners only on the ground floor, but there were none so my eventual and inevitable triumph will be my own.
>>488900245Have you considered that maybe you don't actually want to make a game? It's perfectly fine if you don't. For some reason there seems to be a strange social pressure to "be a gamedev" in modern times, which has been pushing a lot of people who don't actually want to make games to waste their own time doing something they don't enjoy.
how do I lock the viewport camera to a certain axis in the 3D editor in godot? Im trying to place my camera node in the perfect position/angle and I use the set rotation and position shortcuts to move the node to the exact angle and position of my viewport viewI use the number pad to move the view (currently I go 7-5-2-2), but I want an angle thats between the set angles of the numpad shortcutsis there a way to more precisely control the viewport view? or do I have to fiddle with the camera node by manually tweaking values in the side panel?
>>488900850I'm supposed to have a gf blowing me under the desk while I dev but sometimes we just have to do everything ourselves.
>>488901349I don't want to make a game, I know that perfectly well. Making a game fucking sucks. I want to *have* a game. Same way plowing a field sucks, but having fresh crops is nice.Nothing to do with "social pressure", I do want to see the things I'm imagining made real, I just hate the process of doing it.

Do Americans know that they're rich? Like not just as a country but as individuals the average American is richer than almost 90% of the world. You can work some bullshit retail job and be able to hire competent artists or programmers to help you with gamedev.Meanwhile I'm barely eking out a living from gamedev and I have to do everything myself because I can't afford to hire even thirdies because I'm a thirdie myself.
>>488902231>You can work some bullshit retail job and be able to hire competent artists or programmersI worked at walmart a year back and couldn't even afford to shop at walmart
>>488902231It's fake wealth. The paycheck has a nominally big number on it, but in reality we're living in borderline poverty.

>>488902458Nah, it's also in purchasing power parity. Other countries have the same problem.I think the problem is a lot of people think they're average or "middle class" when they're in fact poor. It's hard to face the fact that they don't measure up to the standards in their country and they cope they're somewhere around the middle when in fact they're in the bottom 15%.The average American can hire two competent Albanians to work full time remotely.

My suspicions were confirmed when I saw artists from Indonesia going from >$2000 a piece to <$500 between the peak of the Corona market and the bottom last year or so. I can only imagine how art might actually be affordable when the line is finally allowed to go down.

TSL unironically looks like a comfy shader language. WebGPU and TSL + Havok's WASM port is going to make building games with web technology real comfy soon.https://x.com/bruno_simon/status/1818236399633506677/video/2
I think he's starting to give me boss vibes.
why do people talk about state machines as if they're some sort of advanced technique for improving your game? ALL games are state machines, inherently. you can't make a game that ISN'T just a bunch of state machines. but I constantly see redditors see the dumbest shit, "you should learn about state machines, it'll blow your mind", "you should try using a state machine for that", so on. it's like telling a footballer to try kicking the ball.

>>488902231>and be able to hire competent artists or programmers to help you with gamedev.I partly doubt this, maybes it for select countries where the prices tanked. I've seen the price 3rd worlders are asking. It's as much as 1st worlders. It's annoying, I was told they'd be cheaper but I have to pay 1st world rates. Why even hire them then? There's a language barrier that makes it harder to communicate. I may as well just hire some english speaker that's in a 1st world country for the same price.>>488903489I haven't seen the prices come down at all. And now with AI in the way I have to sift even harder so I don't just get both a high price and AI art. If they're going to hand me AI art, I'd rather just train up an AI and do it myself so I can get close to what I want.
>>488857252i think hes right. The darkness makes the colors around it very saturated which hurts my eyes.

>>488907076Yes. It's a very old observed phenomenon. Another way of phrasing it is that in life you can either choose to "do something" or "be someone," and the vast majority of people always choose "be someone."

>>488907386GPT is one of the few things I use Regex for. It's good at it.
>>488907294damn, really 8 hours , that's a lot. I just record a video of 2-3 minutes playing the mechanic I want to rip off, then analyze what's happening, take those elements and put them in the game. Even made a python program that tears it down into frames, so I can count how much time a given action takes to complete.

>>488908761easy to have no tutorial with platformers. making a card game so a tutorial is essential.
>>488907820For a while I was considering including a diegetic tutorial level like Thief's training level or Half-Life's hazard course level, but now I think I'm going pure "learn as you go"/"hidden tutorial" where mechanics are naturally introduced in the first few levels.
>>488909078Yeah games with a lot of complex rules is hard. But it's not just platformers, puzzle games and RPGs teach you the mechanics over time (Golden Sun was very good at this) and the puzzles got harder, there's shooter games where you learn over time what to do because you used a mechanic from a previous stage, etc.I'd generally avoid tutorials unless need be. Let the player figure shit out on their own.

https://ulucode.com/random/webgputests/linked/https://x.com/mrdoob/status/1819231842777944204I believe WebGPU+TSL are going to win a lot of people over from Unity to Three.js as the major indie dev engine. Especially when someone writes a full wrapper for Babylon's Havok.wasm physics for three.js.
I was on the bus today and some kids were talking about how some tv shows use Unreal Engine and one of them really hated it because "it's a game engine not a movie engine!". Idk how the conversation went beyond that but got me thinking about it. Anyone got arguments as to why UE is a bad "movie engine" or vice versa?
>>488889336>I thought it'd be difficult for any random amatuer dev to copy my broadest ideas so I assumed there'd be near 0 danger of sharing such. Lo and behold this literal 2 man team is far too close to said idea, if they can make that without me even mentioning my idea, then what is the risk in sharing my idea and someone trying to duplicate it as well?Nigga it's just a character moving in an empty terrain, that's not a fucking game idea.
>>488911760None of that happened.
>>488911716>Especially when someone writes a full wrapper for Babylon's Havok.wasm physics for three.jsWhat about when someone decompiles the wasm and makes this MIT licensed version of Havok available in other languages like C++? Then it will be an extension for Unity/Godot

Analyze your videos data and improve>reply with videoson tiktok you can reply comments with videos it helps to increase your reachalso see other gamedev channels to learn. what i like the most is how videos are distributed there, you see live the numbers going up until it stops, so you have to post another one to gain more visibility, after 100+ followers all videos start to get views organically, just keep the consistency

>>488913697I want to hear it from Jon's mouth. I want him to acknowledge it.It's not to say I don't respect him, what I don't respect is not understanding how much easier the market was back then. It's like old people saying "young people have it so much easier why don't they have a house they own yet and a whole farm?"
>>488914915hes literally saying people have it harder today, its the opposite of that analogyare you stupid?
>>488914915I was significantly harder to make a competently made indie game back then. But as a result of things getting easier to bar has risen. I think blow has verbally acknowledged this.
>>488913697I've said this time and time again but when shitty XBLA games made using XNA were enough to churn out a shit ton of money and even kick start some studios (looking at you SKA Studios although Dishwasher was fucking awesome), it's pretty apparent that "golden age of indie" devs merely profited from the lack of semi-decent quality competition. If everyone's favorite 'Limbo' released today it would be a G2A random bundle key. Same with Braid. Yume Nikki would probably get a couple /v/ threads and that's it. QWOP wouldn't even trigger the algorithm. VVVVV? 50 cent Fanatical game. It's hard to take a stance against nostalgia but in your heart you know it's true.
>>488915119I'm sorry that I was not aware that apparently, this is Jon Blow's post, and that I cannot identify Jon Blow from the lower 5% of his profile image and writing style.I'm clearly stupid.

>>488915615the window of opportunity was so small. Why can't golden ages last a little longer...
>>488915473It's been piss-easy to make a 2D platformer for like 40 years at this point. Super Mario for the NES was made by 2 programmers in like 6 months and they did that shit in 6502 assembly. Making a 2D platformer for Xbox with XNA in 2008 is hardly the herculean task people make it out to be. All it comes down to is "indie games" not being something anyone had thought of yet, hence no competition.
Do you people actually work on a game, or just come here to speculate on sales of random games? It's so weird, there's like 680 replies and there's only couple of games. Most of the posts are just speculation, or a mixture of frustration and rage due to inability to make a game which is even weirder.
>>488915615>>488915473nobody can deny that it was "harder" to make a game between 2000 and 2015 than it is now, but if you were in a position and with the skills and means necessary to develop and put a game out on Xbox Live in 2008, do it it was just luck: genetics + environmentliterally the boomers of indie development

>>488917843>And Jon still insists on doing everything the hard way, spending millions of dollars for the privilegeHonestly, when Jon first entered the industry most available game engines were probably garbage, at least compared to just making your engine yourself. So I can see why he got stuck with that mentality. Now he's just an old dog who can't learn new tricks and the times are leaving him behind.

What do you do between game dev time? In those times when you don't have any energy to work or play games but it's not yet time to sleep.I watch videos of places I'll never go to, with people eating foods I'll never get to taste, living lives I'll never get to experience.

The fundamental problem with searching for a dev team on /agdg/ is almost every anon here has their own idea of what they want to make or have already started and are unwilling to compromise or start on a new idea entirely. Unless you are paying money for a team, it is unwise to hold so tightly to an idea.
>>488933412Parameters are inherently local variables. They get popped off the stack once the function completes. You should learn your terminology, so you don't get confused when talking to fellow programmers.
>>488906996i don't drink alcohol. tried various sorts of drinks, they all taste like shit and make me feel uncomfortable. can't imagine why people willingly ingest that crap.
>>488933160personally I only use self. to grab a property that is inherent to the node that the script is attached to, not to refer to something that is in the script itself. Something like fall() or slide() would just by that by itself, I'd only do self.fall() if fall was a function built into the node.
>>488933472I would gladly work on a game with someone completely from scratch where we both come up with an idea together and compromise, but I don't consider myself worthy unless I finish something all by myself. There's also the issue of filtering for people with similar tastes in games as me, or with similar dedication. So I think the easiest way would be for me to release my game, get 10 to 100 reviews, and then team up with another anon who also released a game with 10 to 100 reviews.
