Where is the Linux build for Marmoreal?
>>491982165Are you too poor to afford windows?
>>491921151>>491921390>>491921719Doesn't it depend on how long game was on the steam store before being released?

This is about a porn game idea I have:Is there a way to include a large variety of clothing customization in a 2d game without having to draw sprites for every clothing and position variation? Or is this something only feasible through 3d models?I don't believe it's something very ambitious, I was planning on learning ren'py to do it.
I'm such a good gamedev, honestly.But it might not be enough.

Converter now exports material doublesidednessCleaned up code a bit, removing dead code replacing std::cout logging with proper logging and replacing obsolete Ogre 1.x accessors It's funny: Due to the way Ogre development has happened those accessors are obsolete for Ogre 1 but the same accessors were not obsolete for Ogre 2 which my code was originally written forFixed segfault on converter, it was simply about the destruction order of Ogre components.
I was bored and am autistic with stats so I decided to plug in the dates & number of reviews from the list of /agdg/ games into LibreOffice Calc to see if there is a correlation. There actually is one, which makes sense as newer games would have fewer reviews, but it feels like the numbers are also skewed due to a lot more lower-reviewed games in recent years.
im working on blood splatter in my game and its almost making me and dizzy faint because im a pussy abut blood...
>>491988253Why are you including something you don't like in your game?
>>491986297What's the problem?
>>491988332its call'ed "juice"
>>491988253Don't add blood splatter then? Doubt anyone will miss it unless you're making a Doomlike where extreme violence is key to the appeal

>>491990425what do Japanese dramas have to do with it?
>>491990505nothing.
>>491979936Congrats with a release, Marmo! Have great sells!
>>491990292no freaking way
With the recent revelation that Marmoreal has a mere 5:1 sales to review ratio, is it time to reassess the financial performance of other /agdg/ releases?
>>491990292>10% offhe missed out bigly. should've sold it for at least +50%
Cris' games remind me of the games I made when I was 13.We shouldn't bully him for being 13.
>>491988182Did you try offsetting by the total steam trends? Both for games having fewer reviews the newer they are, and the fact that there's more games coming out so (probably) less reviews per game (at the median, say), even accounting for its age.
>>491990292GMI!
>>491989810>>491988182Yes, get it right. Early access is at least half of the release.
>>491987290The environments look a lot nicer since I saw this last. How are more new models going?
>>491984432>the ones with a nice capsule have the most reviewsyou DO have a nice capsule, right Anons?
>>491991168>Asks for capsule>Tells you make it 462 x 174That's pretty disingenuous of Steam to force this onto the most important pic of the game...
>>491991168I don't even have bad capsule art.
>>491991168It's really strange seeing capsule art where there isn't a character's face clearly visible. You have to be genuinely retarded to not include this. I can't even fathom how little thought must be going through some poor stupid nigger's head as he uploads his capsule art after paying $100 just to be there and doesn't include a character's face. Do you want to fail? If you aren't already a well known IP then you need a hook to get people to even click on your game and the best way to do this is to simply include a face. But braindead stupid monkey nigger retards just decide to not for this for ???? Who knows why.
not a single game in my steam library has a character in the capsule except KSP
>>491988182Can you at least use a log scale, or publish the data?
>>491984432necrovale seems to be partly fulfilling the suspicions i had regarding his game. it's interesting how his game was performing eerily similar to my rivals game however i think it's fallen behind their game performance. but if it's anything like my rivals, full release will probably net him a 25%-33% boost but idk what the actual boost was
>>491992178>The logo is too small, you should upload another header and wait for 1-2 days
>>491988182just an idea, if you're willing to run it. reduce the current recent releases of say the last 4 years to the same quantity of games in the past. meaning remove the lowest performers and leave the biggest hits. what's the data say when we use only the best performers of the present and compare them to the all of the ones from the golden years?
>>491990292That's a whole bunch.
>>491992178Does this mean I have to have an octahedron on my capsule art?
Is Kickstarter worth trying? I'd only be looking for around €15k so I can quit my part time job and work on the game full time for a year
About to pop some 4f-mph and code on stims for the first time in my life. Let's see how much devving we can get done

>>491993069you've never written a line of code in your life zoomshit
Adding sound effects to your game is mind-numbing. Listening to several similar sounds over and over while thinking "Does this fit? Is it too harsh? Too long?" Ugh...
Lol if you buy Asesprite over their homepage it will use Humble Bumble as the seller; however Humble Bundle clearly has in their terms of service that you may not use any products of them for commercial purposes.It's why they don't give out tax receipts so you technically cannot deduct the purchase as tax expense.Meanwhile Asesprite says on their homepage that commercial use is allowed. Nobody cares about any of this besides perhaps my tax authorities but lol. Guess I should have just compiled it myself instead of supporting the devs.
>>491993931>he doesn't procedurally generate sound based on the materials of the objects in his game
>>491993018if you are selling something people want, it works
>>491994032The joys of Proprietary Software.
>>491994484I'm making a Black and White rip off
>>491991168Yes. I still need to edit parts of it though to improve it.>>491992178>include a character's faceI haven't uploaded the capsules but the majority of new one's do have their faces in there. I think it sells my game well since they are the focus of it and they really sell the theme well went put together.
>>491994032and that's why i bought it through steam.
>>491994032>however Humble Bundle clearly has in their terms of service that you may not use any products of them for commercial purposes.Huh? What do you mean? They sell plenty of stuff used for making games, that doesn't make sense. And it's just Steam keys, anyway. You mean you can't resell the keys, maybe, but why deos taht matter?
can somebody animate a humanoid character rolling in forward and both sideways and backwards animations for me... (in blender (for godot 4.3))
>>491994559Aseprite is open source, retard
>>491995364https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html>The terms “free software” and “open source” stand for almost the same range of programs. However, they say deeply different things about those programs, based on different values. The free software movement campaigns for freedom for the users of computing; it is a movement for freedom and justice. By contrast, the open source idea values mainly practical advantage and does not campaign for principles. This is why we do not agree with open source, and do not use that term.
Did you waste your time with gamedev?
>>491995495I don't give a shit what some washed up e-hippie thinks, dumb niggeraseprite is free and open source, literally the opposite of proprietary software
>>491995635You can ignore the truth but that doesn't make you right.
adding 23 ammo types to wodopom
>>491995698your own article says "We in the free software movement don't think of the open source camp as an enemy; the enemy is proprietary (nonfree) software" moron
>>491995617I'm an amateur not a professional, so I don't plan on making money
>>491995731That's too many.
Your pixels are traced. Your IRS knows what programs you've used to draw them. Better pay up soon.
>>491995905I didn't say being Open-Source was bad, but not every Open-Source software is Free Software and Aseprite is one of such cases.The Free Software fork of Aseprite is called LibreSprite (https://libresprite.github.io)
>>491995617even better way to waste years of your life:spend them making shitty "practice projects" and jamslop while refusing to work on a real game because you're completely incapable of actually doing anything creative instead of rote copies of 40 year old arcade games
>>491995617i don't plan on making money on what i'm dabbling with. it's mostly to pass time and learn something, and also try to make a game that i think i'd want to play
>>491995617How do I get game design skills?
>>491996180your claim was that aseprite is "proprietary software", which it is objectively not. you are being a stupid nigger, and even worse, listening to richard stallman.
>>491996330You spend 10 years at a AAA dev deciding where to put the orange paint splashes that denote climbable walls
>>491993931I dread this. I still haven't added audio. NPC's have been the most mind-numbing thing I had to work on. Hours upon hours of designing them and making minor changes for variety.
>>491996246what real games have you made with those unwasted years of your life?
>>491994032>non-commercial useUhhhhhh wait what about assets I bought through their "donate this much and get all this software" packages? Did I just get screwed with all the assets I've purchased via those big bundles? Or is this just for singular purchases?
>>491996346It is, Aseprite restricts your freedom to share software freely which is one of the freedoms necessary for a software to qualify as Free Software (See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html)>“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_software>Proprietary software is software that grants its creator, publisher, or other rightsholder or rightsholder partner a legal monopoly by modern copyright and intellectual property law to exclude the recipient from freely sharing the softwareEmphasis:>exclude the recipient from freely sharing the software
>>491994032>>491994559>>491994992>buy AsepriteRETARDS
>>491995617>Did you waste your time with gamedev?yes but ultimately no.>yesi gamedevved at a time mentally physically financially and situationally where i shouldn't have. there were other priorities and i didn't even give 100% to game devving anyways.>ultimately noi needed to fail like that to rise back up again. now i game dev but I'm not expecting to make money from it and i only do it in my free time which is better, more sustainable, and efficient then trying to give 100% only to burn out in 4 days and then stop for 2 weeks before repeating that
>>491996593I'd buy it if it was Free Software.
>>491984432suika shapes is the greatest action puzzle game since tetris featuring both co-operative and vs multiplayer!
>>491996675It is free
>>491994596https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/42bitsentertain/fata-deum-the-god-game-genre-is-backmaybe you can beat these guys to release
>>491996737It is Proprietary.
Why doesn't Marmoreal have a cool soundtrack like Suika Shapes?
>>491994596>>491996791molyneux is back for a new god game scam as wellhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3165650/Masters_of_Albion/
>>491995731>autismare they at least all unique ? if there are some(as in more then 6) that are better then others in all situations objectively ? then it's a shit system. also what the other anon said, it's fine if you want your game to be autistic that has it's own appeal but most fags well be overwhelmed with that many choices
>>491996850And free
>>491996972Proprietary Software is never fully Free.
>>491997081Nobody cares about your autistic made up arbitrary redefinition of the word free. It's free
>>491996791If they got €60,000 hopefully I could manage €15,000. The building system in my game is more like Black and White 2 and from what I can see of Fata Deum you can only build in specific places and the game is more about inspiring people to gain followers rather than building up a city and training a creature
>>491997231Objectively false.
>>491997337Objectively fat and stupid and shut up nobody cares nerd
>>491997336Who are you?
>>491993018The problem is that you have to be sure that you'll release the game by the end of that year or at least do it under a fake name
>>491990937yeah
>>491921719>I fucking TOLD you retards that it’s a 1% conversion rate of wishlists to sales but noooooo I was “crabbing” and the real number was supposedly 30%. Fucking give me a breakJust a heads up that Steam reports that the average wishlist conversion rate is around 16%. For my game which is an unappealing absolute disaster flop it's 12.5%
>>491998584>For my game which is an unappealing absolute disaster flopHow many sales you got?
i wonder how many neets spent their late teens/early 20s working on a flopit must be in the thousands
>>491997870Why?
>>491998693My whole life is a flop.
>>49199864295 in 18 months. I got one $100 check from Steam.
>>491998584What is conversion rate?The percentage of people that buy the game once released?
Gonna take 10 years to release YOUR game?-questions I ask myself
>>491998693What idiots! as for me, I worked on dozens of projects in my teens and early 20s and abandoned all of them. HOPPYOPPY
holy fuckafter >3 years working in Godot I've just discovered I can look at the scene tree while the game is running and manually inspect the properties of each node, instead of having to force every object to print its properties when I want to know themI've never actually seen my scene tree before
add Fishlike to the AGDG steam games list
>>491999085A 10 year version of my game would be pretty awesome... hmm.
>>491990292What marketing did you do that wasn't just to other agdg devs? And desperately shilling on reddit a few days ago?Also why are there no sex scenes in your game?
>>491998919It's the ratio of people who bought the game after wishlisting it. Note that just like not everybody who wishlisted it would buy it, neither are all purchases from wishlists. So you could have 1000 wishlists, 160 sales from those wishlists but also 3000 sales from people just seeing the game and buying it.
>>491999085I'm gonna take 20 years. My game will be the longest de cycle of AGDG for all time.If 4chan doesn't die before I release it.
my extroverted classmate got a bunch of T shirt from a popular store and an expensive water bottle by his team members at the end of our 12 months of unpaid software testing internshipmeanwhile i had to awkwardly and quietly ask my mentor to take a photo with him as a documentation for my campus. he only gave me the company calendar. seems like being an autistic social recluse who only talk about gamedev all day makes me very unlikeable.
>>491999357I see. Thank you for explaining it to me.
>>491999475>do thousands of dollarydoos worth of work>get a shirt instead
you know the industry is saturated when not even free games pass 10 reviews
>>491999682My game will be so good it will succeed despite any saturation that the industry might have.
>>491999893good luck
>>491999682just make a good game theninb4 what's a good game, one that gets a lot of positive reviews
>>491979936Im tryna make kind of a bounce when the player hits a wall so im doing this "velocity.x = velocity.x * -1" when the player hits the wall. Am I retarded/Is there a better method?
>>491999921Thanks, you too!
>>491999950does it look/feel good? then it's fine.
>>491999682free games are marketed less by steam, also they did some studies and found that people are less likely to play them in general i thinkjust give it a reasonable price
>>492000168it works if the player isnt pressing a direction key but not when they are but only if theres an if statement. I think my code might just happen to be absolute dogshit but it works for the most part
>>491995617>Keep adding scope to compensate for your lack of actual game design skills.Lots of people here are guilty of this.
>>491999682don't put your free games on steam lol. you have itch for that
>>491999656He took every opportunity to socialize and network despite it being unpaid. all i get from that internship was nothing except 4 hour of commute and getting yelled at by my father for still relying on his allowance.
>>492000464>pay 100 dollar for steamworks>put a free game out>$0.00 revenue>steam doesn't give you your 100$ back because you made no moneygeniusyou deleted 100 dollars and for what?anon's right, put it on itch (preferably as a webgl build so it's played in the browser)
My game is built twice every build for some reason but since the result is the same I'm just ignoring it.
>>491999950yes
>>492000584$100 is nothing. It's one day of flipping burgers. Just the experience of having a game on Steam is worth that much.
>>491998747You don't want people looking up your name and seeing "John McAgdg scammed us for 15k and ran with the money/released an unfinished game"
>>492000643So im retarded and theres a better method?
>>491998693Some people spent 8 years working on Concord and they weren't even neets
>>492000868wow fucking la-di-da mister first worlder
>>491999176How do i do this.I NEED better debugging

>>492000584release second game for another 100. free prologues are pretty normal these days.
>>491995251>You mean you can't resell the keys, maybe, but why deos taht matter?That's probably what they want but according to their ToS strictly speaking you cannot as a business buy a license from them.That's why they don't give out invoices.You also cannot deduct your expenses (technically) as business expenses.So if you earn 20 bucks and buy this for 20 bucks, you cannot deduct it as costs and still need to pay taxes on the full 20 bucks.Obviously doesn't matter in the big scheme since it's just a tiny bit of money but it sucks that they are doing it like this.>>491994032It technically applies to everything they sell.Note that this will never matter and is just legal technicality. Nobody will ever care.
>>492000897So don't use your real name. And it's not like anybody holds Kickstarters to deadlines they set, most are a lot late and it's kinda normalized as long as you're making progress.
>>491998693a huge amount, but then a huge amount of poeple work on other hobby projects which also fail, it's just that mass media entertainment is by definition much more visible, and so are its failures
>>492000967Even for third worlders, if you're releasing a game you're probably at least somewhat competent at programming, so $100 shouldn't be some crazy high amount for you.

>>492004468Marketing is one of the "lady sciences" like sociology or psychology. Why would it surprise you that no one knows anything? It's entirely vibes based and there's no science to it.
my game speaks for itself, it doesn't need marketing.
>>492006423Must explain why the troons here can't stop talking about it
>>492004616same problem here anon, however i am making progress, if extremely slowly.i noticed that setting aside time to dev works pretty well, as in "today i will spend an hour on dev"
>>492006097Never write or speak like that. Bad grammar reduces your IQ. I'm not joking
>>491995251This. How can they go selling literally commercial asset bundles and have the audacity of saying this? Idk if I should keep using them, I don't need legal issues down the line, then again I don't think any asset maker is going to closely inspect my game and go "Ah ha! You got this from humble bundle, I'm suing you for $1m in damages now hand over the gamedev riches you made while you my asset improperly!.

>>492005940>silenceI'll take that as a no
it's fucking overI have failed at yet another careermy problem is that I fail too slowly. whatever I try things start going well and I commit more and more and then everything starts deteriorating. 5% drop a year is enough to eventually end up in poverty. sometimes there's a temporary spike to keep me hopeful so I think maybe things will improve. and before I know it I'm 40 years old in a professional dead-end and I've been doing the wrong thing for too long.NEVER EVER QUIT YOUR JOBUNLESS YOU BECOME A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE and even then make sure you can live off of safe passive income indefinitely before quitting your job.
>>492008026most of agdg are neets who never had a job. mommy subsidizes their doomed games.
I lost.
Gamedev is my job.
>>492008026Lmao, loser.
>have a game >seems pretty solid as a proof of concept, 100% playable, extendable and maintainable codebase, just limited in scope>however, have a full time programming job outside game dev and thus limited time to work on it>therefore game looks, sounds and feels rough, and won't have time and/or skills for good audio, graphics or "polish"any thoughts or experiences on offering and acquiring a partnership with an existing dev studio that might have better means to help develop it? like we'd make a contract that they own the game and i'd get some royalty/equity deal out of it, and we'd work together to finish it. i don't really care that much about owning the IP, or deal with the risk of quitting my job, taking out a loan and starting a company of my own, i just want to dev the game and have it be the best game it can be.not sure this is the best place to ask this, but not sure where else i might find devs that have been in the same situation
>>492008026Huh? I make 6 figures at my remote tech job where I only work 1-2 hours a day of real work maximum and the work is actually mentally stimulating and enjoyable and I have good coworkers. Why would I ever quit?
>>492008026have you tried improving instead of deteriorating?
>>492008331>”hey guys I have this idea, someone else makes 100% of my game for me, but here’s the cool part right, even though someone else does all the work, I still get paid percentage royalties!”Good luck with that retard. Can’t believe you don’t already have 100’s of offers from dev studios begging to pay you infinitely to work for you for free
>>492008331use funds from your well paying job to hire Venezuelan artists to work on your rough looking game.
What do I do when I am totally useless at art and art is 70% of what sells your game (with a further 20% being music)?
>>492008557Cruelty Squad
>>492008331This is even worse than being an idea guy thougheverbeit
>>492008557Work with someone that is capable of making good art. Or learn.
>>492008026When are you going to make your "I REGRET QUITTING MY JOB TO BECOME INDIEDEV" youtube video?
>>492008418Improving doesn't lead to better outcomes. Believing that it does was one of my mistakes. Improving improves the chance of better outcomes but if the chance was 25% and it's now 50%, that's still a coin toss.

>>492008850cris, cabinet makers don't become millionaires. Any job where you exchange your time directly for money is very hard to scale, because you only have so much time. So the people telling your uncle that are retarded thirdworlders who don't know anything. But yes learn a trade, it's honest work, you aren't going to get replaced by AI, and the software development industry is bloated with indians.

It's been a slow start so really hoping the the workflow has been sorted out and they can start pumping them out.
>>492009231ok but what about art you can actually use for a game
>>491992178i don't have characters
>>492009231I WILL surpass you.
>>492009431the issue with proportions is because that drawing has the leg at special points in the composition.So the pose is forced to fit on the composition grid.

Can’t believe you don’t already have 100’s of offers from dev studios begging to pay you infinitely to work for you for freenot sure how you managed to misunderstand everything i said. let me clarify. they would own the game, so i'd be working for them, and not the other way around. i'd be paid in royalties relative to my contribution to the game, which means i won't even be getting paid unless the game comes out and actually sells. bigger question is whether they'd be incentivized to finish the game (that would probably have to be resolved with some kind of equity compensation for me)>>492008554i just said i dont want to be shuffled into a management position. i want to work on the game in a team, not manage people>>492008631refer to above. seems there is a bit of a theme of not actually reading the post and just assuming all sorts of things!

>>492006423
cris is a psyop
>>491995617I like randy, he's a funny guy. But he barely made any progress after all those years and then threw away his golden goose of a gamedev channel to waffle around. Now he's doing some sort of school thing and want money from mentorship... Poor guy has fallen off hard.
No real overworld map or tiles or anything. The player leaves town, a random map is generated, then if the player likes it for some reason like there's a dungeon entrance on it or a lot of land masses that increase the spawn rate of a specific monster are there then they can create a map to that tile and revisit it whenever. So the overworld map will only have the towns the player can visit on it and that's it, no overworld travel required. Scope reduced.
>>492009898I look at cris and think "this is me if I quit and start a new project", and it works. I will NEVER make a new game.
what would cris be doing if he wasn't gamedeving? leading a colombian death squad?
godot's gonna drive to me a full melty
>>492009898a psyop to keep us motivated to dev. When you feel down for not making progress and you go /agdg/ and see cris have jumped to yet another project, made absolute trash. You think that hey you're not that bad after all and get back to it. Thanks cris
>>492009231tiny ass leg
>>491996246I love how inexplicably mad some anons get when they get told the extremely common advice of "Practice". This is the only hobby I've seen where people expect to just jump right into it with no prior experience whatsoever.
Marmo would have 10 times as many reviews if he spent few bucks on better anime girl art
DAMN MY GAME!
>>492008557>What do I do when I am totally useless at art and art is 70% of what sells your game the first game ever had only two cubes and a ball>(with a further 20% being music)?the first game ever had only sound effects no music.just make game
>>492010154why does practice have to mean make some retarded trash game you are uninterested in? you can "practice" just as well by trying to make something you actually want to make and learning along the way
Hey guys just wondering how many hours should I spend working on my game each day? I have to dedicate about 1-2 hours of my day to work (remote tech job with only 1-2 real hours of work per day btw) so I’m curious how much I should dedicate to game dev to avoid burnout? I also spend 1-2 hours each day lifting weights, buying groceries, cooking/eating. So that really only leaves me with like 12-13 hours of free time. I don’t even know if I have enough time to spend the thousands of dollars I make each week sitting on my ass watching YouTube videos
>>492006423>lady science>vibesI just paid for games-stats pro access. I'm going to go do some in-depth market analysis with my healing crystals, while watching a romcom and crying over boys with my girlfriends on the phone and drinking a pumpkin spice latte. See you later you silly smelly boys!
>>492010323"games you actually want to make" are probably considerably less simple than old arcade games, plus they haven't been fully fleshed-out in advance for you
>>492010465however many you want>muh burnouttake a break
>>492002446This is useless advice. The whole argument behind the article is that making middle games can keep your head above waters in terms of revenue, but then you might as well just make projects that work towards the game you want to make in a non-commercial hobby setting and not release them as commercial projects.
>>492009560are you for realwhat kind of stupid excuse is thather left leg is tiny and her right wrist is deformed, this looks stupid
>>492010290>the first game ever had only two cubes and a ballthat game wouldn't sell today
>>492010507so? make an attempt, learn some things, give up and try something new if you get boredthat is also practice
>>492010465>buying groceries, cooking/do it in bulk on one day, meal prep bro
>>492010690I hate meal prepping, call me a retard if you want but the thought of eating the exact same refrigerated meal every day is suicide fuel. I will cook fresh meals each day, as God intended
>>492010660yeah
>>491982446You guys have phones, right?
>>492010323I agree with you. Making games that you're not interested in is too much of a slog for me, meanwhile working on an "harder" game but that I actually want to make is such a breeze to work on. I find the idea that first you need to make pong, then tictacto, then tetris, then a platformer like mario, then ..., and then finally you make the game you want to make. Is such a study waste of time.
>>492010323>why does practice have to mean make some retarded trash game you are uninterested in?Nobody ever said that. I don't know why people read "Make smaller projects/join game jams" as "Just make slop you don't care about one hundred times over". You can absolutely put your best foot forward towards a smaller game and maybe even later expand on it. Super Hexagon was a game jam game for example and that's still a classic.
>>492010480>in-depth market analysisseeing portents in entrailsalso>smelly boysI once made the mistake of entering the pilates room at the gym after a workout to get a few extra mats. it was fucking horrific.
>>4920104655 hours and 45 minutes everyday for a total of 40 hours and 15 minutes a week so you can tell people you are a full time software developer.
>>492010892>Nobody ever said thatpeople say it all the time retard>hurr durr you need to make 100 pong/breakout/space invader practice games before you can make a real game
>>492010974who are you quoting
>>492010974i practice in between making other gamesit's pretty instructive to study how existing games work in detail
>>492010974>"people say it all the time retard"And when you say "people", do you mean /agdg/ anons by any chance?
>>491987290so that I am not contributing to the hug box, I will say this again about your game.I do not see who this is for. If someone wants to play MMO healing, they'd be better off playing even a free to play MMO rather than a single player healing game.If you really want to make this game, and you'd play it, then alright.I am glad to see your progress in game dev, but I can't act like I think this is a good game idea.
>>492011147>the most useful aggy post I've seen so far
>>492010465a supposed developer asking how much time he should spend developing kek
Next I will figure out how to make the camera less jerky and cancel movement. Also it's already spaghetti because I need different classes for the character, selector, UI, etc. and they all have to communicate. I wish unreal had static events.
>>492010648Isn't funny how 99% of /agdg/ know less about drawing than me?the weird proportions are because of the composition.
>>492010480>>492010918>just gonna take a look at some mid-level successes and- sigh. Men.

>>492011705it's a tilde ~ which means 'approximately' since the site is guessing based on price and review count.
>>492011602wtf coom game is not actually a way to become a sextillionnaire?
>>492011421your "good composition" doesn't make the drawing any better, sorryalso this seems highy arbitrary since you could have had for example her left knee instead of her left foot on the spot and it would've been easier to fit the anatomy in, and some spots aren't even exactly on a particular featureI don't think you're focusing on the right stuff
>>492011421i think the proportions are correct, but the smaller leg and foot are drawn weird
>>492011884Well that explains it. Listen to retards, get retarded advice.
>>492011147what about if you like healing and healing strats, but not the stress of angering raid buds when you "let them die"?
>>492011813>>492011996>>492012014I don't think realism is something that concerns me.If I wanted professional realism, I could had posed a 3D model from an app like design doll and drew on top.I'm aware of the anatomy issues, but like I said, they are there because the composition forces them.Maybe I need a bit of more practice, who knows.
I'm horny all the time it's hard to focus

>>492012535relax
This is who you're arguing with.Jlmg.
I think I need to go back to 2012 and practice matte painting with my other skills.>>492012535correct proportions would have been made using a 3D reference.I simply wasn't so dedicated this time.Maybe I need to spent a few times doing some cgtalk style paintings.But that will require something like 2 weeks of practice.lol.
Is procgen soulless? (unless it's SUPPOSED to be soulless like in .hack where it's supposed to be a mmo and the keyword system is kino or your game is an actual roguelike) Should you use it anyway if you're 1ma and you need to pad out your game, as long as the game is say, at least 50% hand crafted stuff?
>>492012734Just find a different community to shit up
How is it possible to stagnate or even get worse after 12 years?
stop bullying cris and work on your game
>>492013045I'm not worse, lmao.doing elite art is simply very autistic to get it right.
>>492013023If there's a chance for something really neat to randomly generate then it's just as fun as gambling.
>>492012292The knee is not aligned to the composition grid you drew
>>492013253you're not forced to set up everything 100% aligned.
>>492012734>correct proportions would have been made using a 3D reference.>I simply wasn't so dedicated this time.my G imma be square with yougo download the simplest ai checkpoint, webui forge and that pose plugin, create a pose, render it and there's your reference.literally just get some reference my dude cause you have no idea what you're talking about. no amount of "yeah it's supposed to look like that" will make it good, because for one, it isn't supposed to look like that, and secondly - nobody gives a fuck, all people want to look at is good looking and well drawn anime girlsand this doesn't look fucking goood my dudeit looks like she has some fucked up leg disease or some shitit looks like somebody put a wrong wheel on a carit looks plain bad, that's it.
>>492013045obsession with trying to do things in as little time as possible due to a made up condition you psyopped yourself into having
>>492013023I wouldn't call procgen soulless but it can be a challenge to make it generate stuff that isn't too samey (looking at you bethesda).
>>492013375I understand, but getting a digital painting to be perfect literally can take weeks of work.Very hard to get it right in 2 hours.
imagine if you posted your game one day and some schizo mistook you for cris. with your game's reputation in tatters, you could never post it ever again without receiving constant cris allegations
>>492013023Depends, procgen won't save a soulless game but it can make a good game extremely replayable
>>492013587the style is kind of hard to be mistaken for
>>492013587I get mistaken for Cris all the time. That has never stopped me.
>>492013587>imagine not making a crislike ludokino game
>>492013552i hear you my G, but i'm not talking about how you're supposed to have a perfect drawing 2 hours ini'm talking how you're blaming some made up "coomposition" bullshit for what is essentially your own fuckup
>>492013587cris posted an idea I'd been thinking about as a game... That really knocked my confidence.
>>492013743i thought his lack of any consistency is a key part of the criticism he receives
>>492013839It was intentional.

Say you're making an RTS, how do you handle units "seeing" each others?Do you give each of them an area that they check for units every frame? Sounds like this could get heavy on performance once you have thousands of units on the field
Just eat an apple, you retards
>>492015181excess water goes into the bladder, unless he's a bird
I added ~1000 lines of tests. Because of it, I solved 2 bugs which were really annoying me for a while, and found one more which had been hiding.
>>492015220With so many units I'd make like cache table of which coordinates are visible from which coordinates. Just do a billion raycasts before the map loads and then instead of testing whether unit A sees unit B check whether the coordinates of unit B are visible from the coordinates of unit A
>>492015276>*looks around nervously*haha no, a b-bird on the internet? T-That'd be impossible h-haha
>>492015448amateur devs really do sleep on the power of unit tests.
>>492015220>thousands of unitsyou can't make a game with thousands of units all having individual complicated AIs simultaneously. it would fry your puter. at least i think so>t.programminglet
>>492015220https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/spatial-partition.html
>>492015220either handle multiple units (group them by distance) as one unit and look for neighboring ennemies.Or split your checks between frames. You don't need your units to react on the first frame they should have seeing the enemy.
>>492015725Ummm? Kingmakers has stated they have 100,000 unique AI enemies all processing simultaneously with 4k textures, full visual effects, all in unreal engine 5 and running at 120 fps on a 4k monitor with a bottom end pc from 10 years ago.. maybe you’re just talentless??
>>492015725what RTS does are to compute the entire map once, by taking into account the units as groups and then if a unit already is closer to another avoid to compute twice the path.Or they can also compute chunks and then units far away use the chunks of other units in their computation.
I POSTED THE ANSWER TO THE RTS PROBLEM YOU FUCKNUTS ITS RIGHT HERE>>492015846>>492015846>>492015846
I now wonder if you can prebake the paths in a RTS before the game into a lookup table and then simply do a basic check.Pretty sure that would eat disk like crazy, and could be some exponential shit if too detailed.Pretty sure you could optimize it by simply looking up paths towards the closest path spot and then optimize it by reducing the path lookup to other very few elements.But I am pretty sure I am just reinvented a quadtree look up table by that point.
>>492015220>>492015846This. Here's a relevant part of a video explaining how you might do this.https://youtu.be/rSKMYc1CQHE?si=LwCsqzL2HYJq7MPn&t=1326

>>492016079>Kingmakers has stated they have 100,000 unique AI enemies all processing simultaneouslyhow is this possible ? or is it """100,000""" as in ever 10,000 are one group and need one ai or code>maybe you’re just talentless??i literally said so>>492016294>by taking into account the units as groups and then if a unit already is closer to another avoid to compute twice the path.that makes it understandable
I need to start devving again.
>>492017313>not making video games to smash the fash
>>492017105>>492017313maybe you should use an easier style.
>>492017105Take the rayman pill
>>492017363It’s possible because they aren’t loser incels with zero talent. They are the chosen people and have 170 IQ’s and a strong work ethic and extremely high creative skill unlike disgusting goyim cattle
>>492017437>not making video games to own the libs
something tells me we are gonna go another year with cris not achieving anything
>>492017363once you have practice coding, you realize you can do a bunch of tricks to optimize.I'm not a PHD CS autismo, but I would do shit like computing on one frame a chunk of units paths, as single unit, then in another thread or frame I would compute the path of another chunk.Or do something like run the pathfinding at lower FPS than the rest of the game, since pathfinding doesn't need to run at 30-60 fps.Pretty sure I would use a godot timer and set it to half a second or one second intervals.
>>492017437>”hey can we not be legally mandated by our government to forcibly genitally mutilate children that don’t know any better?”>”YOU ARE A FASCIST!!!!

Every game is 2d if you think about it

Does anyone have any experience with 2D isometric games in Godot? I'm trying to rotate each tile on my tilemap layer by 90 degrees clockwise but I can't seem to get it to work. I can rotate a flat plane fine but when Godot projects it to an isometric view it gets fucked up.I feel like I'm close
>>492021168I LOVE WOMEN (I am not gay, unlike every incel posting here)
>>492020616I'm nothing if not retarded, but there is no one like that, anon.

OK, so how many reviews is the youtuber bonus worth for GMTK?400 free reviews? Then if he gets 1000, his game was genuinely good.
>>492021608are you single, cutie?
>>492021762its a good question... GMTK is probably close to 100% of the aspiring gamedev population? after the dust settles we'll know how many aspiring gamedevs actually want to play another puzzle platformer
>>492021330I think I understand what you mean. That would make it so that I would only need to rotate the quad to get my desired result, correct? It's not a bad idea, but I feel like I'm almost there with my current approach so I would ideally like to see what the fuck I'm doing wrong>>492021382pls no bully, I like Godot
You're a powerful shaman on the council of elders for a nomad camp in fantasy antarctica. A group of adventurers walks into your tent and stands in front of you. What epic thing do you tell them to go do?

>>492025247>1106.18 if the price is 13.49 How much of that are you going to blow on virtual women?
It doesn't make sense for a nomad camp to be a permanent town, they'd be moving frequently so they should be a random encounter. That just leaves Santa's Village and the Cloud Monastery/Library/Retreat for the frozen biome.
>>492025641babe....
>>492025781Anon, you’re not forgetting about steam’s 30% cut are you? And Swedish income tax, which is close to 50%, right?
if i got 16 more wishlits i would have 100 wishlists...
>>492025949>80 copies sold at $13 each>steam takes 30%, netting roughly $9 per game sold>80 * 9 = $720>swedish income tax near 50%>$720 / 2 = $360>$36 per year This is your future
>>492025737because i use the same collision shape on multiple bodies
>>492025247will you abandon the game or will you update it for the next decade marmo?
Not Santa's Village, Santa's City or nation even.
>>492025949>And Swedish income tax, which is close to 50%you can get around that by taking out profit into a company instead of privatelysurely marmo did this right?
>>492026158Try not living in a shithole like Sweden next time

>>492025949>331.854 to steam of 1106.18 and half to the government leaving you with 387.163.HOLY FUCKING MARMOVER
>>492026376if he pull out money from his corp to pay himself he would have to pay income tax on top of that.
>>492026204>you can get around that by taking out profit into a company instead of privatelynot marmo but when I looked into that it was so complicated it made me cry and go to bed.
>>492026264In eastern european countries, Program-based companies pay 0% taxes if your company makes less than 300k an year.
>>492025608are you the real bocchi>>492025641I don't think sales are going to stay like this, they'll taper off pretty quickly probably>>492025781Steam takes 30% and taxes take a big cut too, and I still have to pay Square for the models, so I'm currently still in the red>>492026182I'm gonna try to do some small asset-flippy side projects to fund the marmos
>>492026204Now is marmaskus smart enough to pull that?
>>492026514If you're the CEO/Treasurer of the company, you can just spend the company's money. Corporate tax rate in Sweden is 20.6% btw.
Santa's VillageSanta's CapitolCloud Monastery or maybe HogwartsThat sounds fun to explore for the Frozen area.
>>492023774Now it is time to pleasure myself anally with this suspicious branch
>>492026014What's your Game?
>>492026791That’s cosmic call dev, he’s in here crying about wishlists daily
>>492026695Wrong you can only spend the money for business expenses. And buying anime figurines is not a business expense.
>>492023774syntybros keep winning
>>492026929actually most of the posts whining were me (not saying who) and half the time the wishlists just havent updated yet
>>492026939It is though. It's "reference material". Pretty much the only thing you can't buy is a house for yourself, since that would belong to the company if you did.
>>492026275>get 0 wishlists cause I got no gameI should really make game
>>492027147Same....
>>492026772it's positioned right by the butt for a reason.>>492026994no synty assets in this project :^)
>>492027147At least you won't get negative wishlists then >>492017405
>>492027516Does the counter go up, if the same person keeps adding and deleting a game from his wishlist?
The last 10% is another 90% because it's a whole bunch of tweaking everything while wondering "is this good enough"
>>492020114the gameplay is so shallow that i'd even say it's one-dimensional.

I started the game solo. I'm thinking of hiring a 3rd world programmer to program while I'm working my day job. Anyone try this? I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it once I pay my vehicle off.
>>492028507you couldn't pay me to refactor a pajeets code, let alone pay them to code.
>>492015670No chance I'm adding unit tests. let me just go ahead and basically increase programming by 50%. I'll pass.
I better add base building.
>>492028718It wouldn't be Indian. I had enough interactions with Indians to have literally zero respect for them. They are a slave race and that is clear. But ya it would have to be month by month, so if they are disaster it would be found out pretty quick I'd think. Would have to do code reviews for sure.
>Why yes, I will be dumping a bunch of free steam keys to agdg, how could you tell?Thinking of uploading a build to Steam and releasing in early access beginning of next month

I am zonked
>>492031060well done bro gmi
skyrim is a shit game. ugly women. horrible combat. horrible loot. walking simulator. empty open world. horrible ui. horrible dialogue. depressing gray winter map. annoying vikings. level scaling. exploring the world is boring. there's no point looting dungeons. bethesda breaking mods with every update. janky input bugs with mouse on pc.fuck this game. it's one of those games you play because of the premise and the sense of "i might explore something cool" and then you quit because you never explore anything cool.
>>492030915>50%kekThey throw in all the taxes in a big pot and make up a plan that states where they pump money into.For example, if you pay tax for the roads, they can just decide to not spend anything on roads, but instead to give development aid to China, for example.That's currently happening in Germany, for example.
>>492023253it's heartbreaking thinking that even when you spend longer to make something higher quality, you are still going to dump the usual garbage retro filters on it at the end.

I've been tinkering with 3D models, the way you reuse animations between them is for them to share the same armature, right?So what I should do is have a "mannequin" model in blender which I use to make animations, then I can make "real" models by duplicating the blender file and using the mannequin as a rough guide, assign the bones to the new model, and once I export it I can load them in the engine and give them the mannequin animations via code, right?

>>492033738I haven't had that bug. Have you made sure that you've applied transforms before exporting?I follow CGDive's game rig animation baking process and haven't had any problems... Basically you generate your Rigify rig, then make another rig, copy all the deformation bones with a simple hierarchy that won't confuse Godot, constrain the gamerig to the Rigify rig so you can pose it with the fancy widgets, and then bake all the animations to the game rig frame by frame so there's no possibility of them fucking up. There's an addon that does most of it for youhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwz9aPdVoFg
>0 reviewsguess im just not inner circle enough...
Is this possible in Godot without shaders? Like some mask node or something?
>>492034636Nobody even knows you exist bro...
>>492034056>the way you reuse animations between them is for them to share the same armature, right?No, look up retargetting, a process where you use an animation library across multiple different rigs by basically telling the animation what the equivalent bone in the new rig is to the one they're expecting.
>>492031448>physics puzzle game with a loliI saw holo mountain's credits (same studio and basically same game) and there were like 20 different people that worked on it for reference. Their hololive version of the game (they literally just reskinned it with hololive) has like 35k sales based on scores on the leaderboard which isn't terrible but puts things in perspective

>>492036702has anyone made a black and white gigachad game? where you do gigachad things? madworld maybe
So I can give you tips on how to fix it, but if you've already made a bunch of animations, you're unfortunately going to lose them.1) In the outliner, delete all animation data2) Unparent your mesh from your rig and go to your meshes' vertex data. Delete all vertex groups.Then you can go ahead and re-rig your mesh and it should work. Also, make sure you're using blender 4.x, blender 3's gltf exporter caused all kinds of issues for me. And always put your rest pose at the top of the nla stack when exporting.
>>492036908>maskedTextureyou can delete that line
>>492036179this is an estrogen thread sweaty
>>492036917I have history turned off.
>>492036883I'm well aware of how low my chances are. But I'm a thirdie and I have very few choices because I can't find a job and all I know is C#, Unity and Blender (and Gimp and Inkscape and Audacity)
>>492037230
if there's smoke in a jrpg battle background, would you animate it?
>>492036873I didn't know I was retarded until I started making games.
>>492036832>indie game with no marketing budging relying entirely on word of mouth to spread>"omg it's day 2 and you haven't made millions"That's not how this works. Even Vampire Survivors was released in early December and only in January did people pick up on it and it started to blow.Obviously I'm not saying Marmo is the next VS, but all he needs is a couple of streamers to show interest and he can make a decent enough revenue over the next few months.
>>492034546CGDive's export process is an abomination. I tried it when I started with Godot, and you literally have to create a new rig and reimport the entire character from scratch if you want to add just a single new animation. It also doesn't solve common rig issues like he claims. Rig issues when exporting to godot are primarily caused by old animation data that needs to be cleared, old vertex groups that need to be cleared, using an older version of blender, and not keeping your rest animation at the top of the nla stack everytime you export. See my comment here >>492037060. With regards to that last point, if I need to add a single new animation to my character in godot, I will import my character to an import folder in godot with the rest pose at the top of the nla stack, and the new animation below it. Then in godot, I will open that imported .glb file, copy the animation from the animationplayer node, and then paste it into the animationplayer node in my character's main tscn file. If the rest pose isn't at the top of the stack, the animation may come out messed up when copy pasting the animation into your tscn file's animation player.

>>492034786>by basically telling the animation what the equivalent bone in the new rig is to the one they're expectingI see, but if I'm building them from scratch I might as well build them around the same armature to make the retargeting more precise, right?
>>492037976The original vtuber.
>>492037731>"omg it's day 2 and you haven't made millions"This (plus the impersonation spam) is pretty much why all serious devs have stopped announcing their releases on agdg.

Time to BTFO agdg.
>>492038458>I haven't had to recreate the whole rig when adding an animation, no idea what you're talking about.I don't mean you manually have to, but that the widget itself creates a brand new rig. That means that if you add a new animation to your main rig, you have to create a brand new rig again with the widget and reimport the whole thing over again instead of doing the copy/paste method I brought up before. This is a major time sink because reimport the entire thing means having to reapply custom materials in godot, and resetting custom method tracks and loops for every animation instead of just the reimported ones.

i'm making a racing game and sometimes the ai gets stuck(like, upside down or some other states). i'd like to have a reset function, so i made it so it checks if velocity is zero, but sometimes the car will hit a wall, try to steer and move extremely slowly to the side, so the speed is not zero. is there a clever way to like, average the speed or something to detect if the car is stuck? i'd appreciate input if anyone has any racing game experience

>>492039936Do you have events for physics collisions? Maybe there's data you can use inside like event.impactForce or something
>>492040297no, that's not what i was asking about, thanks though, you gave me one idea to try out
>>492040127Well let's do an experiment. Anons, go into your Steam library and count how many games you have that have less than 100 reviews, and don't lie. If you have less than 10 games within that criteria, you're a normalfag.
>>492039936In games I've played, the ai will decide if it hasn't moved very far in a handful of seconds to use its reset.So you could decide that amount of seconds, and every tick update a running speed measurement. If the running speed measurement is below some threshold then reset.
>>492040692I don't play video games, because I'm not a faggot
>>492040669yeah, maybe I couldn't properly reply to you.My answer was more how I would do a racing system.
>>492039936In my game the AI will check if it has moved enogh since the last check, if it hasn't if will add a stuck stack and at x amounts of stuck stack it will attempt unstucking.Reaching a waypoint, having no waypoints or moving a normal amount of distance will set the stuck stacks to 0.
>>492039890don't be silly, you just have to hand paint the textures
>>492040901>boomers cummed and farded in their pants over this
I'm a 2d artist/animator for a number of years and have been learning 3d. For levels, it seems like doing low poly seems like a really fun way to go, but for characters im still having a lot of doubts. Like in 2d, I can make rigs in toonboom on top of just drawing specific unique frames, but then I try to think about how it's gonna work if the character was a 3d model and things start to hurt my head fast. Like a slow motion ribcage getting blown off a character, I can draw the initial frames all by hand have so it's literally just 2 planes worth of animation.But for 3d, outside of having to model the chunks and internals, i can't even imagine how i'd make the actual explosion part happen that will look half decent. Blend shapes maybe?Same in regards to dismemberment and whatnot.

Is it the wrong process to develop the game around the story? What about giving both equal influence
>>492039936Never done racing games, but had to deal with similar situations with a basketball lol(in regards to checking if it got physically stuck, or caught in some kind of collisions loop, etc). You basically need to find every scenario that would cause the car to be in an immobile or barely moving state, and find a way to run checks through those first(i.e. car hit a barrier, got knocked into wall etc.). If one of those conditions is met, If those checks are cleared, then you can set conditions for resetting the car via whatever method you want or something like >>492040297. It's probably going to be tough and take a lot of experimentation to get it working right and to figure out how to detect when the care could potentially get stuck, but you'll get there. Just be creative with what you have; raycasts, speedchecks, timers, etc.

>>492041652I wouldn't go that far. I have found occasional random comments useful, and demo day is always useful for play-tests. But there really is no reason that agdg needs to know when your game is releasing, or even the real title of your game.
>>492041652I'm doing it because I was here back in that phase. Now, many abandoned projects later I'm much better, but I want to at least "graduate" with a game from here. The state of modern AGDG doesn't give me any pleasure however, but it'd be like abandoning an old friend just because he got cancer.

The more I try and make my own game, the more I realise I'm only really interested in the design and writing portions of creating. It's not a strictly gamedev question so it might not be the best place to ask, but how would I go about expanding on that? Design seems easy in the sense that you can post a bunch of stuff on social media, but writing seems way harder to actually break into. If only just because it's scrutinized way more now
