It is that time again game devs. I asked for help and still did not get the right answer. I checked tutorials, only got indian slop that did not get me desired answers. Even asked chatgpt, nothing.It is times like this where I get giddy and smile to myself. I put on my thinking cap, put on my thinking flip flops and I head downstairs. From there I walk a circle in my kitchen whilst muttering to myself ideas and going step by step on how I can solve my problem and implement a viable solution while taking down notes on my phone. I enjoy being alive. I am happened, I am tired, I am fulfilled.
>>491555828Uh yeah sorry, I misclicked. I can give it back if you want.
>>491555828Wow that's gotta hurt. Is your game shit or something?
>>491555948You were 5 years old in 2010
My game is shit. I'm not good enough. I'm trying my hardest.
I pooped myself.

I found a fun thing I didn't plan for. The merchant can put up to four items in a sack. The worst items sell for five scrap. The sack which must contain at least one item sells for five scrap. The eggs are usually temporary minions but can be taken as flimsy permanent workers at the start menu. To prevent minion eggs from carrying items they spawn with dummy gear that is worthless and normally kills the egg when removed. The merchant can stuff the egg dummy gear in a sack and you can then sell the sack for five scrap. Each egg comes with four pieces of equipment, and you can take eight people at the start. Thus a merchant and seven eggs. All told it's a way to get more than enough to buy any single weapon at a shop in run mode, and leaves room at the start menu to take three weapon slots, and a drone slot on many ships.
if tripniggers are going to be making new threads before the old one hits page 10 again someone's going to have to start sniping them at bump limit

Someone convince me to not give up on making a video game and start making a comic instead. I'm seriously asking, I'm looking for a reason to keep going with this hobby.I just want to have something to serve as a creative outlet and share online for strangers to (hopefully) enjoy. I'm an artfag, not a particularly good one either, and I also can't code for shit. Having to fumble my way through even the most basic of game programming has proven to be a huge obstacle so far, and as a result I'm not making that much progress. It's very frustrating, because I really want to make something, but I don't have the ability required to make the thing I want to make happen at a meaningful pace.On the other hand I could start drawing comics like I used to over a decade ago when I was an autistic teenager. Comics wouldn't need any programming knowledge or other skills I don't currently possess, I'd just need to start drawing. Maybe I wouldn't feel as fulfilled since deep down I want to make a video game, or anything interactive really, but I'd still probably feel more fulfilled making a comic than making absolutely nothing like I am right now.>>491557432I played this a few demo days ago, it was very cool. Very Witness-esque.
>>491557882Just do something
>>491557882Be my art slut.
>>491557882no one cares about webcomics
>>491557120forgot your frog
>>491558345I might if I had ever seen a good one
>>491557882Just gonna be 100% real with you, I'm the same way in that I want a creative outlet. I want it to be video games because they've been my main passion in life. But I'm a retard and can't code.My solution? Just get Claude pro plan, 20 bucks a month and if you describe whatever you want to it, it can do it. It even has a projects thing now where you can upload your entire codebase so it knows how to add what you want to add. Just do that. No one will ever see the code, so it's not like using AI art. It's literally just making what you want to happen, happen. It's still your artistic vision.Do that. Or just make a comic and cope that that's what you wanted to do actually all along. But that's my advice. I don't even need AI anymore to code cause my game is more involved so I've had to actually learn from this approach how to code, but if you do this I guarantee it will work. You just need to be dedicated.
Does this qualify as a QTE? I kind of like it. It's like if you were playing Disco Elysium and suddenly have more choices available to you. Imagine Morrowind or Oblivion having secret reactions like this. It would add more depth to RPGs since the choices you see aren't all the choices you get.

>>491557790Post good Game?
>>491558670you can play it on Demo Day
>>491558585what the fuck is this
>>491558585fuck off back to /v/ faggot
>>491558249I don't want to make art for someone else mainly because I'm an extremely stubborn person who is insufferable to work with. I'd probably ghost you the moment things were no longer interesting to me. My art also isn't that good, you could find much better in this general willing to work with you. Sorry.>>491558465I don't want to use AI, I think it rewards retarded people who are too lazy to learn. If I was going to make a game I'd want to actually learn the basics of how to code and gain something useful from the experience. I don't expect to make a cent, may as well get something from it.>>491558643tbf I want to make narrative based comics, not weekly strips. That anon isn't wrong that people really don't care about that shit these days. I don't mind, it's not like I want to make a living out of this anyways.
>>491559050honestly i feel like its a lot harder to make a (somewhat) successful webcomic than it is to make a (somewhat) successful gamefor a game you can just copy other peoples ideas, a comic you need to actually have creativity and a sense of humorshitty unfunny comics are a diamond dozen
>>491558959/v/tards and reddit users are one and the same. This kid saw a shit game getting tons of 4chan upvotes on /v/ and he couldn't help himself, he had to post it here to get upvotes of his own.
>>491558465>I want it to be video games because they've been my main passion in lifeConsooming isn't a passion. Watching the whole MCU doesn't mean you're suddenly going to be interested in or at all good at filmmaking... Maybe for some people it'll spark an interest but they'll actually try making the thing instead of just mindlessly consooming it. Just because you've played games doesn't mean you can make them. And id say that most people who claim to be passionate about videogames don't know the difference between a passion and a coping mechanism for being unable to participate in normal life, and have in fact never actually had a passion. I started programming in Adobe Flash and submitting shitty games to Newgrounds, I think making videogames is an appropriate creative outlet for me because it's part of my personal history. >My solution? Just get Claude pro plan, 20 bucks a month and if you describe whatever you want to it, it can do itThis just highlights that we need to do more to gatekeep the shitters from this fine hobby.
Fuck Godot and fuck Juan. A few months ago there was some discussion on agdg about an old screenshot of Juan's twitter thread on instancing vs pooling with a few anons loudly criticizing Juan and calling him an idiot, which obviously led me to implement an object pooling system. Today I decided to remove object pooling and use instancing instead, and immediately saw massive performance gains. Fucking Godot, man. I hate this shit engine so much. I should have used Unity.
>>491559438Post your game.
>>491558585honestly is a cool mechanic. I imagine a game where you can level up or focus on aspects of your personality or viewpoints like Disco Elysium and these can reveal hidden QTE dialogue options. If your character is more emotionally volatile, you can get triggered by a minor insult and yell or start a fight. If you're more cool headed and intellectual maybe you can realize a flaw in an NPC's logic and call them out on it. If you're a horndog with high charisma, you can take hints and score.I guess even trash can have something to teach us.
>>491559621"faggot simulator" is not a game genre
>>491559438>Yeah seriously fuck Juan for making scene instantiation so efficient that it makes my retarded object pooling implementation look like shit.
>>491560114Yes it is, see concord as an example

Just discovered another improvement to my if statement set up. Yet I'm hesitant on reducing the amount of conditions in the statements.How much of an impact does it make when an if statement has 2 conditions with &&, versus simply one condition and thus not needing the && symbols?
>>491561067>posts the same png for monthsWe know you haven’t made any progress dumb little faggot
>>491561276ampersands kill performance, try to stick to nested ifs
>>491561172So true queen (male)
/agdg/, do I go too far with the cog in the ui?
>>491561276Dude ampersands are literally one of the biggest performance killers of anything in programming, do not use those unless you want constant crashes
>>491561276note listen to>>491561438They are compiled the same way.
>>491561438Yeah I realized that but I organized it so neatly that I don't want to delete my work just because it improves it, owari da I already know I have to though. It simplifies the process of detailing statements as well which helps readability.
>>491561615Looks fine.
>>491561690I doubt they kill performance as much as he seems to imply but it's multiple if/else if statements rather than 20 && in a single condition check. It's literally just condition 1 && condition 2. However I realized I could set it up to use only 1 condition per statement, maybe 2 for the first one as a safety net to catch bugs.
>>491561172and?
>>491561615Why does the page look like I peepee’d on it??
>>491559389I guarantee you I'm a better C# programmer and 100% a better musician/composer/3D modeler than you. Gatekeep all you want but I will make a game much better than your newgrounds trash, nigger.
Why don't indie devs try to make RPG or JRPG games? Why is everything pixelart 2D bullet-hell/survival/comfy/metroidvania?
>>491562087I am making an RPG thougheverbeit.
>>491561615the cogs..coggles... are different sizes. It would be more satisfying if the cogs actually looked like they fit together. they move a bit too fast?https://www.cgtk.co.uk/metalwork/calculators/gears
>>491562087Are you retarded
>>491561979why is this so funny?
ive been working on a animation serialization + replay mechanic for my online turn based strategy game for a couple of weekends, and today i ran it for the first time and it worked on first try (except for 1 boolean check that i forgot to add). feeling pretty good about myselffeels like a lot of the problematic design elements are going away as of this new coming update. having simultaneous turns in a turn based strategy/tactics game by separating the action to 2 different lanes feels like kind of a breakthrough>no more long turn times because you playing at the same time as your opponent>no more watching them twiddle their thumbs for 2 minutes to move their unit, you just see an instant replay of what they did on their turn and then you're immediately off to play>games are shorter overall because game speed is essentially doubled>managing multiple fronts feel more significant now that you have actual lanes instead of 1 big fuck-off field of battle, less room for musical chairs cheese shit
>>491562087I’m making a high fidelity 3D rpg and I post here all the time
>>491560114learn to abstract the mechanic from the game.I agree it's shit tier ugly propaganda and the fact that it's state funded shows that rulers hate whites. Though it's been a good repilling tool.
>he's not making a metroidbrania
>>491562087>RPG or JRPGToo much writing.>pixelart 2DEasy.>bullet-hell/survival/comfy/metroidvaniaBarely any writing needed.
>>491562767I am. Are you?
>>491560132Exactly. It's Juan's fault I'm retarded. If I were using Unity this wouldn't have happened.
>>491563889You're free to leave anytime moron
>>491562767It does sound appealing. It's like making a puzzle game on easy mode because you don't have to design a difficulty curve. Just make a bunch of puzzles, have them playtested, and throw the difficult ones into secret areas. Bam! The non-intuitive shit roadblock puzzles that would get your puzzle game negative reviews are now le deep artful ARG puzzles for your game's community to figure out and a positive feature.
>>491564052>too much of a low IQ incel to comprehend sarcasmYou will never touch a woman btw just a reminder I know you already knew that though
>>491562087That's what Ren'py and RPG Maker are for.The real question is where is the Fighter Creator Engine? Where the game is already made, you just have to plug in sprites and adjust the values, and you can change the combat system, but it's all very easy to do so with drag n' drop like GameMaker
>>491564534Excuse me, but I was not being sarcastic in my criticism of Godot for not protecting me from my own retardation. A good engine like Unity protects users from themselves. Juan is wrong to give users too much control.
>>491564651>Fighter Creator Engineactually golden idea that would probably make you much more money than any of the games being made here
making an engine for a fighting game out of all games is peak regarded dev thinking

Solo indie game dev is the most stressful "job" in existence. I don't sleep. I can't think about anything other than my game or I forget things and waste weeks. Everything is held together by toothpicks. When I think about all the work ahead of me I feel like I'm choking. I want to die.

>>491566932I'm never alone because you guys are my friends.
>>491566324From what I've seen and heard it's just an average boss rush game, "not great, not terrible" and so on.The only reason people won't shut up about it is because of how explosively popular it is, except 90% of the playerbase is chinese for obvious reasons, remove that and the numbers will look a lot more normal.The only thing to learn from this is that China is a pretty damn huge market, which is why AAA publishers love to suck chinese cock as much as possible at the west's expensive most of the time.

>>491569060Oh no, they’re only making hundreds of millions of dollars a year, however will they cope with an incel calling their game an asset flip? It’s so over for them!!
>>491569138You mean slotting gems into the skill tree?

- 1 Hour 23 minutes fixing path drawing logic to only work once and only on nodes that are connected to discovered nodes AWA some bug fixes.- 39 minutes tinkering with drawing paths.My first implementation of path drawing logic just iterated over the entire adjacency matrix and drew a path for each true value, which means every path was drawn twice.To fix this, I just iterate over the upper triangle of the adjacency matrix which gives all the edges of the undirected graph once.Also fixed some bugs in the building code that didn't account for land type.For the path drawing, I'm using a sprite2D, rotated toward the connected node, with region_rect set to a span the space and canvasItem.Texture.Repeat set to enabled. In less Godot-Centric terms: this just takes a texture and samples it for a certain region of the screen which is then transformed into position. I feel it's important to mention this because I've been working up my Love2D project in the background and aspire to do custom engineDev later.
>>491569256Yes, that’s why the average quality of agdg games is so high, right? The average person here totally isn’t making ms paint tier 2d pixel platformers, right? Since making a 200 person budget AAA game is so easy now I mean
>>491569393Thank you for proving my point (nice progress btw keep it up)
>>491569138PoE is literally the kind of game that only works if you have a lot of players. No way a guy who plays solo will ever figure out 90% of the builds on his own due to how long it takes to farm everything. That's the biggest flaw of having all those upgrades and items. If there's something to take from PoE, it's keeping your game fresh with rotating events.

My game fucking sucks, man.
>>491570575You only say this because you have nothing to show for your accomplishments.Begone.
>>491562271Let me see if I understand:- Turns in your game are atomic with respect to players, as in, players make multiple actions on their turn, but the other player doesn't do anything during that time. - There are multiple 'fronts', effectively sub-games that are independent of each other- The innovation is that you batch a turn in a replay and that you separate the battle into two independent parts so either player has less down time.That's interesting. How exactly do the lanes affect the game then? Can troops move between the lanes or is it like Artifact lanes where you have to win two out of three lanes to win the match?

>>491571863just jump directly into making your dream game and waste 4 years trying to develop it while you constantly redo it as you learn, until you finally release it to the grand total of 25 players.this is what anons actually do btw.
working on a boss monster
>>491572424It's easy to set up in the engine but how the FUCK do I set up a server that can actually talk to random people all over the world who are trying to play!?
>>491572531okay then, tell me what I should actually do for some moderate success (since you're obviously successful yourself)
>>491572648soul soul____
>>491572712That’s a master server. That’s different from a game server.
>>491572531;-; no one told me there was a camera in my room livestreaming the gamedev parts on twitch
>>491572531excuse me but i have 26 players
>>491572648nice
>>491571237Portal style portals are actually really hard to do right technically. During the development of Portal 2 they had one engineer spend almost the entirety of the development cycle just on getting Portals to work almost seamlessly.
he got a glowup!
>>491568353Marmo worries me because his game represents the top 10% (maybe higher) of the average game posted here, fairly high effort and polished despite being amateur workIf he fails it will hurt my morale and self-confidence in my own project plus I will feel sad for him given he's been somehow working on it for 10+ years
>>491573340It took 10 years but it's not 10 years worth of workThe market would be friendlier had it been done in a timely fashionYa'll need to hurry your asses up
My game will release after a 2.5 year development cycle, which is admittedly already 1.5 years too many, but still better than 10.
>>491573340I don't care how long you spent polishing your turd
>>491555636Sometimes I put cheats on and watch my game play itself and just sit back and marvel at masterpiece I've created.
>>491573615>The market would be friendlier had it been done in a timely fashionI can't tell you how much I wish I started doing this shit when I was 14.
honestly i'm considering dipping out of this general altogether. it's mostly just people who don't post their games shitposting with anime pictures, it's getting really tiresome. i wanna see people posting progress from their projects, not this shit.
>>491574049It would have been shit.>you got to learn java or learn c++>give up because programming is too hard with no one to teach you
>>491573846It's such a cool feeling seeing it just tick along.
>>491570521that poor fucking rock texture, what did it do to deserve that
Small progress but I got my rig mostly set up how I want for the big guy.His rig is just slightly more complex than the other robots cause he holds the gun with both hands.
>>491574208>give up because programming is too hard with no one to teach youThat's actually exactly what happened...
>>491574457It looks beautiful and oldschool.
>>491574208if you need someone to teach you, you are ngmi
m-maybe today i will make a bullet trail particle effect........
The boss fight is coming along.
>>491572804figure it out yourself, unless you want to try what has been proven to fail 99% of the time
one of these days the pain in my chest really will be my aorta tearing open and I'll finally be done working on my game
>>491576841lookin good
>>491577148Stretch more, moron. Muscles get tight if all you do is game dev.
Give me ideas for an unique or fun gimmick for my slopformer
>>491577376if my muscles want me to suffer that's their prerogative
>>491573306Nice work anon
>>491576841This actually does look pretty good.Like if Randall Munroe made a side scrolling platformer.
>>491577538The player can create a clone of himself. Design some puzzles based on the player's ability to control a second character
>>491576841Also, if the character sprites are going to be squigglevision. Might as well do the same with the walls, UI, and platforms if I'm going to be entirely honest.
>>491576841Thinking about taking this art style. Very inspirational.
I will just be honest, I haven't made a progress post in nearly a week! But I have been writing the combat and enemy code for all the enemies I had planned. Just like the inventory, it will materialize visually very quickly once they're modeled. I'm really excited for how fun my game will be. Have a good weekend friends.
>>491576841what happens if you say no
hope everyone made progress today i did it was pretty nice
>>491578895nice tits
>>491573306there are a lot of improvements but his face is questionable. before he had this heroic archetype look. after he looks like a goon. the eyes especially make him look like he's not to be trusted. is that intentional?
You guys catering to the woke crowd yet?
>>491581421>i will not play your game
>>491581421My game will cater only to my tastes and those of my friends and play testers.
>>491577538Tribal Hunter but instead of your belly growing it's your breasts
>>491581475I should put character creation in my game, and allow players to choose male and female, and change nothing about the character model that is a fucking octahedron.
>>491574725Looks awesome.
>>491577309>>491577831>>491578553I'm glad you like the art. More games should have stick figures. Though I'm finding it's a challenge to come up with distinct designs with such a minimalistic style.>>491578313I considered that, it's just low priority for me. Paralax layers, background objects, particle effects, and all the visual polish are last on the to do list.>>491578952I honestly have no idea. I don't even have much of an idea of who he is or why he wants to fight. The story for my game is a complete mystery to me, I should really get to work on writing it.
>>491581689Put a bow on the female
Good morning AGDG
>>491573673Mine after a 6.5 year development cycle, which is admittedly already 4.5-5.5 years too many.
>>491582312morning marmo
>>491582078>distinct designs with such a minimalistic stylegive them fancy pants
>>491582312You do have a stream for looping on your steam page right?

>>491555636>under the time pressure of a gamejam I'm able to deliver an MVP of something arcadyHow can I try to give me time pressure for regular projects? I ain't got any publisher deal to have such deadlines, so I have to rely on myself.Also, anyone wants to try the game?
Deadlines are a meme. Internal motivation is better.
>>491584250I have the motivation but I just can keep a consistent work flow over time
>>491581658Stop posting AI trash
>>491584403correcting really quick: a consistent work flow over time with just motivation alone. I need
man my game ideas are so fucking goodshame im too lazy to make any of them
>>491584031For my first game it was popular on itch and I just made a steam page and set the release to as soon as I possibly could at the time. I worked really hard for its release. Not a good strategy for optimizing sales but good for optimizing motiviation to work. Having active players you are trying to keep enjoying your game helps too
>VA friend wants to do dialogues>Sounds godlike so happily agree to the proposal>Send sample lines and character diorama>Radio silenceWhy are VA's so fucking difficult to deal with? It's just upsetting at this point, like it only shows you're not passionate about the project.
>>491581226>is that intentional?well it's an RTT game about commanding evil african animal militias so yeah i guess it is lol
guys... i ... i... I had a zero day...
>>491584587I think that would be an amazing idea. Although right now I'm doing a "non profit" meme project so I can warm up a more "complete game experience" before trying some serious titles. So I'm not sure if I want to invest 100usd in a meme title to be published on Steam.
>Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'float'absolutely fucking absurd that this still happens in current year
>>491585047wow that picture is very accurate of a zero day
>>491585936now it's two zero days...
>>491555636why is Unity SO much fucking harder to learn than Godot?in Godot I went from 0 game dev experience to a prototype up and running in 2-3 weekson my first day I was able to follow an excellent 10 min tutorial to make a first person player characterI try to find an analogous short tutorial for Unity, all the results are fucking multi video hours long series, I find this video: https://youtu.be/f473C43s8nE?si=frDM8A9vO18Iqb2lthe structure of the tutorial doesnt work and the PlayerMovement script is broken and I have no clue how to fix it so after like 3 hours of trying to figure it out I quitfor Unity I tried setting up VScode but the fucking C# linter doesnt work because it says I dont have .NET (even though I have visual studio), the Unity plugin also doesnt do anythingI switch to Visual Studio and install the Unity add on, it also doesnt fucking do anything or provide any highlighting/lintingMeanwhile the in engine code editor in Godot works like a charm, and learning all the attributes/methods of nodes is a breeze because I can just ctrl+click any of the object/class types in the text editor and it brings me directly to the documentation (locally, in editor)Unity UI is a fucking clusterfuck, the viewport is worse than Godot's, I get that its more full featured but the documentation is a fucking nightmare to navigate compared to godot>muh resourcesyeah fucking right, 99% of unity tutorials are fucking dog shitGodot tutorials in general are more focused and much higher qualityAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFUCK UNITYIVE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN THIS SHIT FOR A WEEK AND IVE GOTTEN NOWHEREI LEARNED GODOT IN ONE DAY (and Im making 3d mind you)
>>491586060>the structure of the tutorial doesnt work I meant to say:>the structure of the tutorial is all over the placeFUCK im so ANGRY
Why are godot cultists like this...
>>491586060Unity is an old ass engine that has old spaghetti code.Embrace the Godot reign, anon.
>>491586401how about you fucking reply to me directly you fucking pussy?I started from zero one month ago, Im not a fucking "cultist", especially considering Im SWITCHING to Unity FROM Godot because I can tell itll be better for my progress long term for this particular gameIm telling you, it is MUCH harder to get into Unity than GodotESPECIALLY when the FUCKING CODE HIGHLIGHTING DOESNT WORK
>>491585727>y-you want to just assume you want to use float?! l-like what if you need double though?!? I'll be removed as the compiler!
>>491583647I second this
>>491586060>I have no clue how to fix it so after like 3 hours of trying to figure it out I quitHow do you plan on developing a game for months, maybe even years when you quit after a few hours?
>>491586649Go back to Godot, anon. I'm pretty sure 4.3 can make almost anything except hyper realistic stuff like Unreal.Godo(es)t what Unity don't

>>491586060>why is Unity SO much fucking harder to learn than Godot?it's not, you just learned Godot first and locked your mind into a certain way of doing thingsI did the same thing with modeling, I've known CAD for years so trying to get into Blender was hellish simply because it wasn't CAD
>tell him to switch to unity>he actually does
Does your game appeal to zoomers?
>>491587162>I've known CAD for years so trying to get into Blender was hellish simply because it wasn't CADBlender is naturally hellish actually
>>491587293No, it appeals to millennials and gen xers from this platform and similar platforms.

>>491566073You need to relax and take a deep breathe.
>>491590025because i want to make money.why dont you make something else if you just want to make money?because i believe there's a better chance to get rich from game dev than from other jobs and i can do gamedev alone without an employer or team.why do you want to make it alone?because i can't see myself working with others, especially since i live rural and have chronic illness.so why dont you focus on moving and improving your health?because i havent found anything in over 10 years that fixed my health and also i want to live rural because i hate big cities.so why aren't you working on your game right now?because i feel lost. i dunno what specifically to work on.why dont you know what to work on?because gamedev is such a time and energy investment that starting without a good idea or good plan seems unreasonable.and when will you have that plan/idea?probably never.so why dont you find a better hobby?because i dunno what else to do. music is oversaturated and also requires touring and showbiz. webdev requires getting hired by big companies and moving there. everythings oversaturated.so gamedev seems like your only option?yes.what's holding you back right now?a) incapable of making high quality assetsb) uncertain about technical stuff like lighting and frameratesc) not totally sure what my dream game isso what are you doing all day then?nothing.

>>491590747>The Lord already loves youI just want to point out that without the context of religion, that sounds incredibly gay.
>>491590025It's the best thing I thought of. I think creating things in life is a good path. Gamedev will give me a lot of challenges to improve in many different ways. Gamedev has enough depth that I can create something very different from other people.
>>491590721luckily for me, my dream game and what sells 30 million copies don't align at all.

>>491592292Good to see you back boatdev. I thought you gave up.

>>491592292>ship game progressKino, anon, good job.I like how the ship shifts it's weight, when you turn. Does that affect the trajectory of the shots? It's not apparent to me.

What the fuck is the difference between a boat and a ship? You guys are ship devs. Not boat devs like that grifter.
boat 2d fighter
>>491592438Didn't give up, just took some time off>>491592686It affects where the shells start but not where they end up, there's no real physics behind them. How far they go is determined by the distance to the other ship, angling and leading shots is up to the player but rangefinding is automatic
>>491592813orblike boatlikeI'd play it
any thoughts on trying to make a competitive online multiplayer game? is it even viable for an indie dev? seeing as they live and die by whether they have enough players

>>491593686Making the game? Easy enough. Not harder than a single-player experience at least. Monetizing the game? Hard. Preventing cheating? Probably impossible for you if you're having to ask this.
>>491594319i wasnt worried about any of those things particularly, more about if its even possible to get a decent playerbase so that the game isnt DOA
>>491587293No, my game appeals to no one
>>491594368It is if you can't do the last one. This game was front page of itch consistently for a few weeks when it first come out, but the netcode is shit and I suspect rampant hacking killed it: https://pelicanparty.itch.io/narrow-one
>>491594313for reasons entirely unrelated to personal taste I must suggest wolfgirls
>>491594313lets see a webm of your game so far.
I've figured it out! It's not about the playtime, it's about the players not dropping your game.If you have 4 hours of playtime in your game (like for example Gone Home) and the average playtime is 3 hours, that's fine and means you've made a compelling game.If you have 40 hours of playtime but the player average is 5 hours, then you've made a worse game than the one where the playtime is 3 hours.So the goal isn't high playtime, it's players not quitting my game.Which is intimidating for me because, going through my Steam library:The Witcher 3 - playtime 2h 15mUndertale - playtime 14mCities Skylines - playtime 1h 45mFTL - playtime 24mShadow of Mordor - playtime 52mSatisfactory - playtime 38mProject Zomboid - playtime 21m (but this is because I'm a huge pussy)Vampire Survivors - playtime 11mXCOM - playtime 22mAll very successful games but I didn't find them interesting.
Step aside boat-like and ship-like losers. I'm gonna make a raft-like.>Gross revenue: $153.9m ($76.9m - $230.9m)
>>491590025It is my destiny.
>>491594375sounds like the russian singer that did GITSYour game is unpolished and lacks coherent direction. you chase new features to show off for dopamine hits but what makes for good marketing doesn't make for a good game.'wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle'
>>491594835My steam library:AoE2: 500 hours
>>491594732sure, hold on. it's all shitty placeholder scribble but i've written most of the story already
>>491590025I want basic income I can survive on.

>>491595245Not a classic by any stretch but it didn't get 12k reviews by random chance. It's a 90s kid nostalgia bait walking simulator, not attractive to zoomers.
>>491595578zoomers love the 90s, le epic neon retro throwback and woOOoo spooky VHS filter both sell better to zoomers than anyone else
>>491595245There are some examples.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1055540/A_Short_Hike/I think the point is games with short playtime can still work.
>>491593131Smart way of handling it.
>>491595578I'm a 90s kid and I never even heard of it until this thread. It came out in 2013? I was probably far too busy playing Path of Exile.
>>491593686client host party games where 1 person hosts the lobby seem doable for an indie (think lethal company)server client architecture is not viable since servers are expensive as fuckidk how "competitive" you mean but if you mean like an actual competitive shooter, remember that CoD and the like used to use client host architecture and would handle disconnects with host migrations, so you dont need servers even for a competitive shooter, its just really fucking hard to implement network code as sophisticated as what CoD had and prob too difficult for an indie unless youre an expert in network programming
>>491595720Gone Home goes deeper into the '90s than mere aesthetics. It just feels like 1995 through and through.
>>491594871>put a house on a floatation device of any sort>this is by definition a raft and not a boat or a ship

I've thought "Gone Home" was the game made by the gamer gate woman.

>>491596151that sucks broala
>>491596228Is it? That would make a lot of sense. At the very lease, there's a lot of nepo bullshit happening in the critic reviews.>“Gone Home is the greatest video game love story ever told.” The New York Times>“I never expected to see myself — or such a strong reflection of myself and my own life — in a video game.” 10/10 – Polygon>“Epic, personal and revelatory.” 5/5 – Giant Bomb>86 metacritic
>>491596516the big twist/reveal in the game is you are a lesbian
>>491596516>nepo babyAre the gone home developers the children of the New York Times critic?
>>491595578It's literally a steam classic because it's an indie success at the time. There's also a big joke about how the game looks like a horror walking simulator, but it's just lonely.
>>491596603It's the PC's sister is a lesbian. And it's not a big reveal, you find out like 10 minutes into the game.>>491596228>>491596516It wasn't made by the gamergate woman. It was primarily made by this guy, who got metoo'd without actually sexually harassing anyone.Anyway the game isn't worth this much discussion, it's a walking sim that a few influential '90s kids fell in love with and that's that.
>>491593950do we have to update this?
>>491596853>It's the PC's sister is a lesbianok, I admit I only skimmed the wiki and saw that she was "the protagonist">10 minutes into the gameso half way through...
>>491595720There were different aesthetics and eras of the 90s. The 90s were pretty dark and fucked up given the crime rates in America and everything else happening in the world around that time, I would like to see more games delve into that.
>>491596898>Anon still hasn't finished the DD57 fanartIt's over
>>491596853I'm not the one that keeps bringing these kinds of shitty games up. It was very heavily marketed, and won some YouTube lottery. It is not a good game that sells itself, and is therefore not the kind of game I strive to make.
>>491597248I think the point of that game being brought up is its success despite the short playtime. Who'd want to make a walking simulator? Like you walk around and can't shoot anything? What's even the point?
>>491597378Because they're technically simple to make, I assume there'll be some codelet anons who would want to try making one, since that's all that they feel like they can make, and then they try to rationalize how it's a viable product.

What's special about your game?If the answer is nothing and you don't have really pretty graphics, you should abort and work on another game.
>>491600127Just deleted my 5 year project, thanks anon.
>>491600127i have fun making it
>>491600175And how does that make you feel?
Don't trust gamalytic, my game had twice as many sales and players.
>>491600127Dodged a bullet with the pretty graphics
>>491600127>tell you whats special>you steal itnice try
>>491600127I have better rain than Arkham Knight
>>491600617Those will take you only so far.
>>491600127My game can send players to the hospital from dopamine overdose.
>>491600127Individually none of the elements stand out, but together I think they become greater than the sum of its parts and give an experience that you can't easily find elsewhere.That's what I like about games, if your art is bad you can compensate with programming, if your programming is bad you can compensate with art, etc. I don't have to compare myself with Carmack for programming or the best artists on Twitter for my art, I just need to find my niche.
Thoughts on Godot 4.3?
>>491601067Bretty gud.
Check your steam stats, someone just released a video on your game!
>>491601184As bad as those games might be, content """""creators""""" are talentless parasites who wish they could make games at all.
>>491601592I find those subhumans who upload full playthroughs of indie games to be the worst.>"I'm just promoting your game, bro."
>>491570926was asleep so not sure you'll get this>- Turns in your game are atomic with respect to players, as in, players make multiple actions on their turn, but the other player doesn't do anything during that time. not sure exactly what you mean. however players do make any number of actions on their turn and can make them in any order, and are only limited by their action resources. there is never a turn for a player where they are doing nothing, they're always playing on either lane 1 or lane 2. when a new turn begins, both players are assigned a new lane to play on and given a shared turn timer. when they finish, they watch a replay of what the other player did on the other lane. i originally had it so that you can outright watch what your opponent is doing on lane 2 while you play on lane 1, but i realized that was fundamentally flawed because your actions should be agnostic of what is happening on the other lane. also it was difficult to focus on your own turn with that in mind. so i added the replay system instead.>- There are multiple 'fronts', effectively sub-games that are independent of each otherthey are independent, in that it is impossible to directly affect lane 1 from lane 2 and vice versa. but you can do things like retreat units from lane 1 and later move them to lane 2 next turn, or generate air strikes on lane 1 to use on lane 2, and so on. but essentially all your resources, units and techs can be applied universally to any lanes, and they simply limit where you can exert direct control at a specific time.>- The innovation is that you batch a turn in a replay and that you separate the battle into two independent parts so either player has less down time.yeah pretty much. this is the only tactics-style game designed like this that i can think of. maybe autobattlers are a bit similar? but this is like a tactics game (which may or may not be good)cont.
>>491601859How petty do you have to be as a game developer to give a shit about that? Don't make story walking simulators next time, nobody watched Vampire Survivors, Balatro or Pseudoregalia playthroughs and decided "yeah I got my fill of this game I'm not gonna play that".
>>491602356>just don't make anything then you have no problems at all!
MY GAME'S A DANG HEX! CURSE THIS HEXED PIECE OF CRAP!
>>491570926>>491602281>How exactly do the lanes affect the game then? Can troops move between the lanes yes, there is a common "home" area for both players where they can be moving units at any time and any distance. this area is connected to the lanes by gates, which are only open to the lane that is currently active for that player. but preferably you don't want to move units between lanes too much because it takes time to retreat and redeploy them. factions manage multiple fronts/lanes in different ways. the dedicated spec ops larp faction can CASEVAC units and redeploy them anywhere using a mobile FOB robot, the tech-vampire faction just uses spawning pits to constantly harass you with zombies, while the cloners will essentially build a city somewhere and then try to figure out the other lane afterwards.>is it like Artifact lanes where you have to win two out of three lanes to win the match?i'm trying out 2 lanes currently. the way i did it for now is that the top lane has 2 objectives to capture (which produce victory points every turn), while the bottom lane has 3 times as many resource-generating territories but only 1 objective. so essentially there's some strategy which lane you want to focus on, at least early. it's possible 1 lane will end up objectively more important than the other in a lot of games, but you can allocate any amount of resources to either lane, so i don't see it as a problem. the main goal of it is allowing the simultaneous turn thing to work. plus you can look at the map and see that the top lane is itself essentially split into 2 areas, so there's logistics on both the micro and macro scale.
hello, i'm an advocate of Good Things, and i fight against Bad Things which have no place in the world. can you confirm that you support Good Things and condemn Bad Things by putting your game under the Good Thing Code of Conduct and donating 110% of your profits to the Good Thing Charity? this is entirely voluntary, and i am not responsible for any consequences of refusing or ignoring my request.
>>491603516i support Bad Thing
>>491603516https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbfGPqRNJzM
>>491602356Nah hes right even nintendo was considering dmca people posting vids. It can hurt sales
>i-it can hurt my hecking s-sales!>i-i could have got 10 sales instead of 9 you baka!
>>491602763>all anyone can make is walking simulatorsU-huh.
>>491603516Cope. Your game failed because it's bad, not because you didn't donate to Good Things and adopted their code of conduct.
>>491603869Relax.
>>491603737Nintendo is led by tech-illiterate boomers that love to pick fights with its fans
>>491603852Just don't make the other genres? That's your logic
>>491603957What is the leading console? Who produces the most high quality games out of all the companies? Exactly.
Watching video games is piracy. It's just like anudda torrent!
>>491603737Amazing how you could fit so many fallacies and dumb sentences in a one-line post. Appeal to authority "Nintendo wanted to do it so it must be true", complete lack of proof or studies done on whether it "hurts sales" or not, and you a PC indie dev comparing yourself to an AAA company selling games on their own in-house console as if what Nintendo's legal team does has any bearing on your own situation, as if Nintendo DMCA-ing fan games, fanart and songs means you as an indie developer should do the same. Enough AGDG for me, this place is dumber than usual in weekends.
Been working on a way of making sure Player knows I've given them a mission or completed a step.Function in, form to come later. One must pursue the development of the game, not the engine.
>>491604015I agree. I also think piracy is fine.
>>491574725i wish my art had half as much soul as this...
>>491574725Damn anon this is really good
>DUMB GOY I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE 3X MORE THAN YOU MADE JUST BY PLAYING YOUR GAME AND COLLECTING AD REVENUE, IM HELPING YOU GET SALES YOU SHMUCKNah.
>>491574725Wow... I'm humbled...
>>491586060>>491586209Unity user here. Yes the tutorials suck because of how frequently the engine is updated along with how frequently they discontinue stuff. Makes finding relevant tutorials hard. I just hope Gamemaker doesn't have this problem, and hopefully there's normal people making frequent tutorials for it rather than just the one troon. No way do I want to watch his video's, I don't want to go "Who taught me? Umm uhh that troon over there"
>>491604001You didn't counter any of the points listed.
>>491603978What the fuck are you even trying to say here? Several anons have stated that the only "genre" seriously hampered by full lets plays are walking simulators with little to no actual gameplay.
>>491604417You're a fucking moron then. Game devs and content creators are in a symbiotic relationship. They are nothing without me and we are nothing without them.
>>491604649They can always transition to general content creation with the audience they've amassed, like KiraTV did.
>>491604417This is a cope used by devs with bad games.
>>491602356No, you're arguing in bad faith, knowing that it doesn't apply to games where story is barely a focus and dismissing games where story is one of the main driving points, like in mystery, horror or even romance focused games.I think you're just a faggot who likes to argue.>>491604072>implies that playthrough videos of indie games on release doesn't hurt salesI'd much prefer if some fag wouldn't just spoil (indie) games on release, then turn around and tell you, that they did you a favor and cash out on their sponsorship/views or wherever they get their money from.>>491604649Yeah, the ones that don't show everything, like a demo. TotalBiscuit for example.
>>491604417>if those parasites didn't stream my game... I'd be a millionaire!
>>491604649Creating is too hard for these hacks, they'll just wait for some poor indie soul to create something for them, then they'll steal it, mock it, and collect the cash.
I unironically watch these playthroughs before I purchase a game. Got to know what I'm getting you know? Trailers are lies. Gameplay trailers are lies. First hours are lies. Tutorials are lies. I need to drop right into the middle of the game to see the true experience before making sure I'll be playing a good game. Not a game that only looked good. If I'm costing people sales, it's people who can't make good games and they deserve it.
>>491600127It cater to that niche of people that like space management, solar system exploration and furry.

>>491604887>No, you're arguing in bad faith, I think you're just a faggot who likes to argue.Nah I legitimately believe you are a pretentious fart-sniffing twat on the same tier as Phil Fish, except unlike him you probably have a bad game if you think youtube videos hurt your sales.As a small time developer, with no marketing budget and no huge following, people sharing your game through absolutely any channel possible is preferable to them not doing so. Any argument about losing sales could only be applied to AAA games who need to sell millions. Coffin of Andy and Leyley has 20k reviews at 10 dollars, even though it's a story driven game where you get the full game experience in a video. There's dozens such games and an entire industry of visual novels and RPGMaker games whose only redeeming factor is the story. You're no different than devs complaining about Steam letting players refund the game. Bad game havers problems, I really can't relate.

>>491605707The old one was better
>>491604629My point is that your proposed solution isn't a solution at all. Your post could be replaced by>I don't like walking simulatorsAnd it would have provided the same value.
>>491605075Nice try, CIAYou'll never catch me
>>491605780no
>>491605817No it wouldn't. I don't have anything perdonally against walking simulators. It's just one of the videogame genres that can be compressed into a videoform so that it limits sales. All you can do is throw insults and projections because you don't have an actual argument.
>>491606009Insincere post as evidenced by your use of quotes around "genre" in >>491604629
>>491605862vortigaunt
>>491605862https://youtu.be/OZtIiR4C1R4?si=FfRvyv4QGw8n5L_S
if youre so desperate to make a narrative focused walking sim, why not learn video editing instead and make a movie
>>491606127MedsI used quotes because it's a pseudo genre with no solid definition.
>>491606127NTA, but "genre" is correct as the tag Walking Simulator is commonly used as a derogatory term.>The name "walking simulator" has negative connotations, implying the gameplay is tedious and mundane. Critics of walking simulators contend that games must contain some kind of challenge, and walking sims would not qualify as "games" under this definition.[2] Early walking sims, often developed by female leads and featured LGBT themes, were attacked by Internet trolls tied to misogyny and homophobia, such as in the case of Gone Home. These attacks created further negative perception around walking sims.[1] The genre's emergence around the same time as Gamergate in 2014 also led to the name "walking simulator" being treated as a negative stigma.[3]
>>491606325then you proceeded to claim the genre has "little to no gameplay" which shows a complete disregard for the genre. You cannot fool me.
>>491606285probably because they grew up playing simulator games
>>491606285Those aren't even the same thing idiot.
>>491606569they basically are
>>491606394In that case the quotes should have been around "walking simulator" not "genre". Furthermore your quote describes the behavior displayed by him when saying walking simulators have "no actual gameplay"
>>491606483>gameplay = worthMeds immediately
You couldn't pay me enough for me to waste my time to play a game with the "Walking Simulator" tag.
>>491606636I have not said that. What I have said is that your disregard for the gameplay that "walking simulator" do have shows your contempt for the genre.
average playtime theory still stands no matter the genre or youtube videos
>>491606817That's is fine, you're not forced to like every type of video game.
walking sim "games" are an insult to the playerutterly pretentious

>>491607426I get real sick of the masses learning new words. It takes like a year for everyone to realize they are using the word wrong, and then they move on to the next dumbass word. You see this in politics too. Everyone becomes an expert in some topic they clearly know NOTHING about. Basically the internet has really exposed the NPC underclass. And they are REPULSIVE.
>>491608150It is meant to be use in combination with export tag for ease of deving. I mostly use it to create something that it is easy to use as @export.
>>491608329One of my most Moly-esque ideas was a literal walking simulator where you'd just go for a morning walk along a path in a cute little town. As you walk you'd encounter a few locals along the path, who you could choose to talk to or ignore. Talking to them would unlock future conversation options and impact their actions towards you in future days of walking. That's all the game would be, going for a walk morning after morning, gradually building up relationships with the people you meet and finding new endings based on your interactions.
>>491608150>resources are a hack or everyone is lying about themThat applies to everything in godot.Also resources are supposed to be like data containers from what I understand, why are you trying to turn them into active objects?
>>491608762That is my idea too. Damn.
>>491608762>has dialogue>has dialogue optionsnot a walking simulator
My game has stink lines emitting from it's body.
>>491608792Wanna team up? I can be in charge of coming up with ideas and you can do the art, programming, and marketing.
>>491608762You are describing a modern porn game.
>>491608762i can play this "game" with chatgpt, can you people make real games
>>491607134The problem begins when you try to pass your "entertainment" as advice to actual devs.
>>491607723>soulslikesI don't hate the idea of them, but the implementation, yes. I've never gotten too deep into one.>shitty nintendo platformersI'm not sure how this connects. I have fond memories of the ones I played in childhood, like Mario 64 and Sunshine, but I haven't played any since my younger days.>VNsVNs are good, but I've never paid for one before. I believe I'm even credited on one or two as a translator. I read (and translate) plenty of LNs, WNs, manga, etc. I would likely never pay list price for any of those though. Pure VNs are not "games".>AAAshartI also don't hate the idea of them. Witcher 3 great while playing it, but looking back, it had very poor gameplay and replay value. I bought RDR2 a while back and couldn't get more than 2 hours into it.The problem with a "Walking Simulator" is that it's simply less of a game. They're trying to take advantage of certain benefits consumers typically grant to video game content (e.g. lower graphical fidelity expectations because things need to be rendered in-engine) while not providing a what would typically be expected out of a game, which is gameplay.
>>491608125We did have walking sims, though. Example: https://store.steampowered.com/app/341540/TRIP_Steam_Edition/
My idea for a game is a realistic space combat simulator. You'd need to keep your emissions down, launch probes that ping space with radar, get enemy ship signatures from millions of miles away, launch missile platforms that launch missiles at the enemies, then send follow-up probes to analyze debris and see if you hit the enemy, all the while trying to hide from the enemy doing the same to you.But I'm making an RPG because I want to earn at least one dollar.
>>491608125I'm pretty sure it's nodev ideaguy codelets defending the idea of walking sims because they see it as one of the few viable game ideas they could potentially implement (although they will never try).
>>491608871You're thinking in close minded terms. It's not a walking sim in the traditional sense, it's a walking sim in the sense that it's intended to simulate going for a walk. It's provocative.
>>491609218There's already a game like this and it's as boring as you can imagine. You actually wait for your attacks to hit in sped up time, but long time.
I finally know what the start of my game should be. The protagonist is drunk after a night out and wants to go to McDonald's to get a burger when supernatural hijinks ensue
>>491609306no I mean why all the sudden hate for walking sims? It seems unprovoked and obsessive
>>491608983>I MUST HATE EVERYTHING I MUST BE CONTRARIAN EVERYTHING SUCKS I NEED TO FIT IN WITH THE COOL KIDS
>>491609394Walking sims are like horror games. Low average play time, but get high results. It's normal to hate them if you understand statistics. They can be as short as 1 hour or 2 hours.
>>491609394I think it started from this post >>491594835 thinking they could win the lottery by making a Gone Home like.

It's important for my game's data converter to run headlessly, because it's supposed to run on a headless server during builds.For Ogre-Next this was accomplished by using the NULL RenderSystem, but for OGRE 1.0 no such RenderSystem is provided, so I was temporarily relying on an empty window being created for the converter to run.Now I have implemented the functionality required to run the parts of OGRE I need without needing to initialize Ogre::Root and consequently bypassing the need for a RenderSystem. It was easier than I expected, just a matter of performing the steps Ogre::Root performs with the unnecessary parts omitted.Now the 1.x converter runs headlessly.

me posting helpful advice and faux-positive comments on reddit so that they do not flag me for advertising when i eventually promote my game
>>491614512Where do you post your helpful advice and faux-positive comments and where do you intend to post your game? I want to post my game on reddit too.
FUCK! WHY DIDN't ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT SYNTY!? THEY GOT ASSETS FOR EVERY THEME YOU CAN THINK OF!
>>491614654lmfao
>>491614654Because I don't want more people to make games using premade assets.
>>491614654using premade assets will stunt your growth as an artist and as a dev
>>491614654Sometimes I wonder how many anons here know about 3D kitbashing.
>>491614654What do you mean? We always shit on synty assets here, how didn't you know about it?
>>491614608these ones more or lessbut most people consider reddit to be borderline worthless for marketing
I always find funny how anons don't want to learn to draw.
>>491615064>but most people consider reddit to be borderline worthless for marketingDamn... Thanks for the information, nevertheless. I can have it be a plan B at least.
>>491615250What's so funny about it?
>>491615250why? Is it easier than people hype it up to be?
>>491615412
>>491615064those are gamedev subs, not gamer subs
>>491615064>advertising to your competitors What did you think would happen, retard?
>>491616537Relax.
>>491616601Projection.
>>491616692How so?
>>491614512That's good. Make sure to off-handedly mention in your comments, that you got laid off recently as well. This will be necessary when you eventually promote your game
>>491614654Don't listen to them, use Synty. There's nothing wrong with it.
>>491615412>>491615874drawing is easy, just get a cheap drawing tablet and draw.You niggas are too worried about artist that have 50 years drawing, to realize, just draw, you don't need to be good to have fun drawing.
vaporware? shovelware?no my good anons, I produce niggerware
>>491611528https://store.steampowered.com/app/866540/VR_Flush/
>>491616936I need other people to also have fun with my drawings, not just me.
>>491617297elite art can be made by AI.so why not simply focus on having fun, and develoiping your own style?
>>491617251Truly, the future is now.
how do you fix the rotation of bones?unlike faces/edges pressing R z z doesn't actually spin it in local Z, it's the same global Z.
>>491616318i'd say it's 100x harder to advertise in gamer subs without instantly getting flaggedin some of these you can't even make normal posts unless your account has 1000 karma plus tip and has been around for 2 years
>>491617395Because if I do just that there will be close to zero interest in my art, which will mean I will not have an audience, which means I will fail to reach any of the goals I have that require an audience.

>>491618189It rides on the back of widely popular media franchises, Pokemon and Sonic. I want to make something original so I cannot do the same.
>>491618320your mistake is that you desire to reach the destination fast, but you're not willing to pay the price to reach that place.Life doesn't work that way.You wont magically become one day by mere magic someone like the guys you admire, doing some neurallink BS.You gotta pay the price to reach the people you admire.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE1Lxw5ZyXkGlory only happens after 20 years of practice, my dear pear.Gotta enjoy the journey.

Should the evil scientist faction threated to open a portal through which otherworldy invaders will pour forth or create a contagion that transforms living creatures into monstrous beasts or neither because they're not unique? What's something a group of people could do in the name of discovery that would spell doom for everyone?
>>491619090Create Facebook.
>>491618923the point is not the amount of practice.But did you study the theory?Did you improve your workflow?Did you learned tricks that improve the quality of your art?The thing with art that most anons seem to miss is that you need to draw from imagination, but professionals artists all the time have a bunch of tricks to improve their art.They use photo reference, video reference.They do studies of the pose and shit like studies of the hands.They hire a model to pose for them.The thing /ic/ always said is that you need to learn first photorealism before doing anime.
>>491608762That's just Animal Crossing
>>491619515I was doing >>491617395
>>491619090Giant laser.
>>491619515Half of the fight is accepting your art will never perfect and be content with your output. The other half is actually trying.
>>491619043Good thing you didn’t get zero, you’d have to pretend you get matches
The better I get at this, the more I can see how shitty my first attempts were and now I keep going back to rework old stuff. And I can tell this looks like shit too, I don't want to come back and rework this again.
>>491619905oh you reminded me that i didn't play the updated galduen version. did you ever upload your fix? if so, i'll play it later tonight
>>491619905the thing most anons can't understand is that as long as they study from books and online courses, and put effort into practice the theory, they will improve.Sometimes your improvement can only be seen after 10 years.But most anons think that you will never master a skill because they only give 2 weeks of time to master the skill.
>>491620104Even if improving is guaranteed, reaching a level good enough for success is not.
>>491620362Nothing is guaranteed in this life.
>>491620362improvement is not guaranteed.You need to actually study the theory and practice it.
>>491620459Even if you study and practice success is not guaranteed.
>>491620518you can only control your own variables.sucess depends on factors you can't control.
>>491620450>>491620603Exactly.
>>491562087I'm making one in godot and not rpgmaker because i dont want to pay for it.
>>491586060if Godot was such a breeze why are you trying to switch?personally I think tutorials always absolutely suck regardless of engines and you probably just got really lucky with whatever Godot tutorials you followed, or you didn't stick around long enough to notice the flaws in what you copied from them.I'm currently in yet another huge version change, manually porting my project from Unity 2021.3 to 2019.4 because I encountered an unfixable bug in 2021.3. so I am quite sympathetic to complaints about Unity right now, but I tried Godot and it was even worse. unusable imo. so if there were all these great tutorials for Godot it wouldn't tip the scales at all. the engine is in such a rough state, nothing just works. and "it just works" is still my expectation. I will never give that up. so for now the only engine I find acceptable is Unity 2019 and I will stick to it for years to come, I've decided. I want to pump out games, not "find work-arounds".>>491587162>>491587314this kekbut also I get it.
All this just to justify not doing anything with your existence
> aerial combos> parkour> PS1 graphics> "Metroidvania"Has anyone else noticed these are really common atm? Nothing against them but find it interesting that it seems a lot of indie devs are converging on the same things.
>>491620060yes it should be playable (no promise are made)
nigga I just LOST IT

>>491621256Oh shit thanks.
>>491562087Making new content is time consuming.
>>491562087I'm not smart enough to make a game with numbers... I just have to make a game about a jumping kangaroo...
>>491621140Weird corrupted lands like in Terraria.
>>491620908I feel like a few different games with ps1 graphics got popular at the same time by coincidence and now a lot of people are getting inspired by that because it's a relatively easy to make style that still looks pretty good
>>491621140reuse the same assets but make them an evil alternate version and a holy version.like FFV.
>>491562087I don't think you realize what kind of an insane scope an RPG/JRPG actually is.
sigh..why is it distorting the mesh..
>>491621140Mediteraneen land.
anyone using runtime virtual textures in their unreal project?
>>491622038>a bunch of piddly little shrubs on ugly rocky outcroppings just next to the waterYou almost made me think I forgot about a cool unique landscape. I guess I could do ocean lands though maybe.
is it ok to dislike ik bones and just rotate everything manually?
>>491587293anon that's gen alpha
>>491621140There's quite a lot of variations on stuff like swamp, both arboreal swamp and mangrove forest could fit that, and evryething in between
>>491620908I wish the ps1 devs stopped forcing wobble and low resolution, and instead just made it crisp and sharp. The low res only worked on crts because it had dithering due to how CRtS worked, and it literally worked differently.
>>491622397No.
>>491622397If it works it works.

:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Thinking on making Uulga a "trade NPC" like Ricotto and Karoline. The idea being that she's on a pond and she asks the Player to find her towel. If found and given to her, she swims away, gets behind some large rock and shows up in her regular clothing.
>>491622009Probably the automatic weight assigned that area to one of the thigh bones and now that you've weighted it the combination of the thigh and hip is causing weird shit to happen.

>jon still trying to play wukonghe's so bad at action games it's hilarious (to watch his rage)
>>491623830Reaction speed goes down as you get older.
>>491623641Do a little of both. Why not have a jungle but it's always on fire and always raining at the same time and has lava lakes.
>>491623945I know a 40 year old which can play nioh2 and combo in DMCV way better than me.he's not good at action games.
>>491623945I feel like this is very overexaggerated
>>491622754Not to be one of those really faggy crt is better people but people are really missing out by not playing any game from gamecube/ps2/xbox era or before on crt/with a crt filter. I won't pretend like it adds a lot but it removes a lot of problems and weird stuff you would notice now which devs didn't intend for you to notice. Like a background in a fighting game being weirdly low res stands out a lot more when everyone now plays on a crisp high res hd screen, a lot of little things add up to make viewing games without a filter worse. And more devs should include filter options built in if they're gonna do a retro aesthetic.
Do musicians also call DJs parasites profiting off their work or is it only a game developer ego thing?
get on it chuds
>>491624459Syndicate was a comic book dystopia. What we actually have is more subtle.
>>491624248>But what about this person I know?Don't argue like a woman.>>491624330Kinda, it depends on what you are trying to do and what your base reaction speed was to begin with.
>>491624459is that guy stuck in the last century?
>>491624459Why would I listen to someone who has never released a good game on what will sell well. He was right place, right time, for Braid. His second game was super niche. And his future game looks awful.
>>491624459Molyneaux was a producer on Sindicate, maybe they can collab.
fans keep making fake world maps of my game. when I expand it and someone looks for maps, they'll find the fanfic maps and wonder why they're completely wrong.
>>491624459why doesnt jonathan blow make that game instead of prioritizing creating his own game engine, programming language, operation system, CPU chip and silicon mine first
>>491624686Yes, instincts get worse with age but it's not as bad if you continue to stimulate yourself.Daigo is still a pro SF player.you can't blame age alone.
>>491625153daaaaaamnnnnnn broooo that's so awfuuuuul aaaaaawwwww nooooooo nigga my fans keep engaging with my content waaaaaahhhhh
>>491624772Ackshually he's too advanced for our feeble minds to comprehend. I wish I had the clip but there was a time when he was talking about people not giving The Witness the recognition it deserves claiming that a lot of times when great art gets made, it takes centuries for people to evolve until they are finally able to look back and recognize a product of the past for how brilliant it was
>>491625340he is out of touch with what people buy and play right now on steam
>>491625153you have players stop complaining, I'd dream to even have tetris let alone real players.
I now have a personal notes repository and a personal digital library repository in which I will place any relevant books, both synchronized with my mobile telephone and server.So now when I have idle time I can turn it into useful time, no matter where I am at, by writing down ideas, doing research for my game and more.
>>491619430Download a perfectly simulated copy of everyone to their magical realm private intranet might not be a bad idea.
>>491624459>game about [current issues]That's a very easy way to make something that will age like rotten milk in less than a week.Devs really should stop trying to shove their political opinions in their games, nobody actually cares about what you have to say, either write an interesting story with interesting characters and situations or fuck off.
>>491625234Daigo is a beast.But yes, you are right. I'm not saying your reaction speed will drop to 0 given enough time. Also, using your brain has positive effects on neurological health (go figure).

>>491626087Left. The texture on the other two looks yucky.

>>491626087left is best. is the checker pattern supposed to emulate chainmail? it doesn't work imo. especially because it's on the head. if you can see chainmail on a person's head that means there's no helmet, but here we see a visor so there is a helmet and it's made of chainmail? makes no sense. the pattern itself looks sci fi or at least modern.and gold or bronze armor is just stupid. so left > middle > right
>>491624171I don't think you could see anything through the smoke in a place like that.
