I'll do it. I'll make a game. You'll see.
>>492047214I believe in you
>>492046003It begins and yet it's over. Make sure to check yourSales & activation reports > Packages > your game > Refund datawhere you can see listed reasons for refunds which sometimes include notes from players.
let's be realif marmo flops.... what chance do i have?it's over.
>>492047251the notes are usually retarded and people just feeling like they have to write something but maybe useful sometimes
>>492047214You can do it>>492047478You have a chance to learn from marmos mistakes.
>>492047497Aha, yet another avenue for crabbing...kekeke
>>492047478Ngl I don’t think any of the upcoming aggy games will sell more
>>492047478Marmo has already succeeded
>>492047669mine will get 10k+ reviews but no one will ever be able to trace it back to agdg so it doesn’t really matter
>>492047478Marmo has already flopped.>ten years
>>492047478Can't flop if you don't release. Smart. Just keep teasing it until you have people begging for it and then you won't flop. Thatswhatshesaid
>>492047728>spend 10 years to make $300>this is success according to the literal retard faggots on agdgGenuinely so grim
my reveal trailer has been ready since saturday and i'm still waiting for steam to approve my page...
>>492047805>10k+ reviewsI've made three games like this already and agdg will never know who my true identity is because my disdain for this place is so great I will never reveal myself...
>>492047859>>492047927Should the first 5 years really count when Marmo threw out all that work and started over from scratch? Also shave off another 3-4 years to account for the fact Marmo spent more of that time jerking off to vtubers than working.
>>492047927>pays the steam fee and enough leftover to make 2 more gamesSuccess.
>>492048023Same except 100k.
>>492047462He had performance issues apparently! At least it wasn't for the game being un-fun.
>>492047927he'll make it big when he releases out of early accesshe'll make it big when he adds a japanese localizationhe'll make it big when a big streamer picks him up>HERE'S HOW MARMO CAN STILL SUCCEED:
>>492047927You wouldn't get it, you're a jeetbrain who will never accomplish anything
>>492048049not my problem he's a fat depressed failure
>>492048016
>>492047927some guys are just mindlessly doing the "reviews*50" calculation and think marmo has over 800 sales>>492048049yesit's not like he can refund the lost time investment just because his vision for the game changed
>>492048159Y-yes, at least it wasn't for the game being unfun.
>>492048023I wish there was a way to filter out all of the turd worlders, pedos, and incels from agdg and post only with successful devs
>>492048147Ah my superior, I kneel. Mayhaps we shall meet again in a more dignified setting where we can discuss game development seriously and with gravitas...
>>492002446That article is pretty bad>ohhh they cranked out multiple games per year, why are you spending 4 years on 1?Literally states they'd get a flat fee back then when you are an indie, meaning you got paid $5k prematurely for it. Whether its a game made in 6 months with 1 hour of gameplay or a game made in 4 years with 5 hours of gameplay makes no difference. You taking longer than expected didn't mean the publisher was going to pay you more.>oh they'd crank it out in a week in the 2000s and make 30k tops!Goes on to say they had a deal with the websites hosting their games with performance based metrics. Combine that with the competition mostly churning out small quick games and yes there isn't much reason to go make a long game, it ends up boring and you might just make less than the rest making small games in a month.Terrible article. He seems to fail to see that the bar has risen. You can't just make a game in under a month and have people accept programmer art or even 2015's typical indie graphics quality level, 45 minutes of gameplay, and 0 replayability when they could just go download Fortnite for free. Unironically the reason you can't get away with churning out games like that is because you'd probably make less money than what those people in the past pulled off. Maybe if your game just happens to go FOTM or you already had a fanbase/stolen fanbase prior to its creation. I wish I could get away with that but look at one group doing it, Sokpop Collective. Ridiculously high amount of games churned out and it seems most of their money comes from patreon bux, not the actual games sales. $6k, 4 man team last I remember. The amount of effort required is more than the coomdevs here have to put in on a single game. Or how about that guy making at least 6 figures every single month a weg that of I heard right hasn't had an update for months?Missing middle, yeah no. This is the normal form of gamedev in the 2020s.
>>492047478is this the /agdg/ curse? Am I doomed for having posted progress here? Is it really over?
>>492048356>purchased by accident (2)
>>492048356forgive me friend...
>>492048721What is your Game?
I made a new theme song to prove you chuds wrong!https://vocaroo.com/18kHHA4bWI9D
Still alive and still working on the UI. Got basic functionality in now. Decided that for co-op split screen that the game will simply just pause and both players share 1 main UI rather than having 2 separate UI's with no pause.
>>492048721there's no curse, it's just statistics
>>492048826And risk getting it cursed more? Nice try, demon!
>>492048802How much of Marmo was bespoke and how much was store assets?
>>492049118>no gameThought so.
I'm collecting an army of schizos to catapult my game into the public consciousness through pure seethe, cope, and dilation (not necessarily in that order, thoughbeit)
>>492048979Very nice
>>492049131About 50/50 or so
>>492049230Cry about it more and also flip more assets while you're at it
>>492048721It's called self-selection, this place does not curse people but rather it draws the cursed to itThose afraid to post progress aren't less cursed, in fact that timid risk averse nature will likely prove to be a maladaptive feature
>>492049230not enough contrast
>>492047658not that you would know
>>492047105Still weighing if maps should be levels that the player navigates through, or something fast paced like a tower.
>>492048979Crazy to see the true power of enginedevs
Marmo was always going to fail. Very, very, VERY, few games are ever worth a 10 year wait.
I can't fix this bug, I'm such a failure.
>>492049230I can't believe you're shitting on Marmoreal when your game looks like this
>>492049393>>492049471Yes... haha yes...! Keep going my pretties
>>492048390us incel pedo successful devs will not stand for this discrimination
>>492049598spurdodev uses unity tho
I feel like the full potential for Dark And Darker has not been achieved. It seems like the game is dead, or at least pseudo dead. People arent really playing it, and back when streamers where, the thing went through all that controversy. Really nipped it in the bud.Ought to be easy enough to make a game that steals its thunder, and expands upon it. Maybe one where traps and Old School D&D Dungeon Diving is more emphasized? Like, traps could be more mind bending and dangerous and require more thinking.
>>492049616What about blunderdisgrace?
>>492048979Looks stylish and funky, is this a mercenaries-like?
>>492049654I have nothing against marmo, unlike you and all of my schizoid haters (probably just oneguy thoughbeit) he's a certified yesdev
>>492048979that UI is god tier, wow!
>>492049760Based nondiscriminatory devs.
>>492047280He's going through the five stages of grief rn
>>492049230Your game looks dreary and unappealing. It needs more contrast and color. I get that you may want it to look grimdark, so you should study visually appealing games with a similar atmosphere that you want to pull off.
>>492050068Rent free lmao
this schizo on schizo violence needs to stop!
>>492050159where'd you get this pic of me gooning to floor tiles
>>492048979very gucci
>>492050159>change your entire game's atmosphere and visual language completely because I said soRespectfully, no
Another arrogantdev is soon to pay the wages of his sin of pride.
>>492050352what atmospherewhat visual language
>>492049832Really don't understand this weird shill campaign for unity.You really think you could get this performance out of Unity? Look at the frame rate and it's obviously a bespoke engine built to order.
>>492050352dude you seem to have nothing.
>>492050159>>492049230if you wanna have a grimdark game, its gotta have an attitude and vibe in its design. It cant just be "Demons Soul everything is mud", you gotta crank that bitch to eleven.
>>492049313>>492049893>>492049898>>492050337Thanks!>>492049893It's pretty much going to be like Army of Two: 40th day in terms of gameplay.
>Sloth>Lust>Gluttony>Wrath>Pride>Envy>GreedWhich of the seven deadly gamedev sins is your downfall, anon?
>>492048517I think the guy makes up a lot of reasons for observations that are commonly wrong but there are still opportunities. Suika shapes was originally only a couple months and returned a few thousand in the first few months alone, but admittedly I was late to jump on the suika trend and the game wasn't as polished as I could make it now. It could have done a good amount better if I was more skilled. I am better equipped to recognize opportunities to make a fast follow game of these meme games now though, I think he wrote an article about this strategy before. Also I'm putting together a 1 month fruit mountain / holo mountain clone right now because I haven't shipped in a while. It might not do well but I have another game to release by end of year too (double flop incoming). Getting a couple small games out isn't so bad
>>492050352Not completely, but find a game with nice graphics that has the look you like and study what they did different. Other anons are right, your game looks like you slapped generic assets together and now you're hoping the fog and lighting will make it look good. And maybe it looks good to you but I'm telling you it looks dreary, like just looking at it drains me of enthusiasm for playing.

Is there an equivalent to DD somewhere that doesn't consistently have cuck porn on the top row? Meaning a regular "jam" where instead of posting shitty 3-day jam games you just post your project and get feedback
>>492051062yeh on reddit
>>492050887*fucking kills you*how's about that?
>>492050860noooooooooooooooooooooo think of the hecking non-quads

>>492049230>frenly discussion>NOOOOOO POST GAME YOU OFFTOPIC LOSER RUINING AGDG WHERE WE MUST ACT LIKE ITS STRICTLY BUSINESS>post game>NOOOOOOO ITS AN ASSET FLIPGive me a break, nice work anon. Idk who these people are but Im inclined to believe they have no game, are trying to demoralize anons, and or are using a divide and conquer tactic of making it feel like (you) have been singled out by the majority when it's likely just a few discord raiders doing this
>>492051207So lust/envy.
>>492051124reddit is full of cuckolds albeit
>>492051148>>492050860too bad you can still easily make quads
>>492047927So? It took scott 20 years of making and failing till he finally developed something that really worked. This guy can learn what worked with this project too and change and grow. Finishing even one game is already more than 99% of people will ever do here.

>>492051258holy newnigger
>>492051126Nuh uh I had temporary invincibility so actually it bounced off of me and killed you instead (sorry)>>492051258Thanks brother, I appreciate it
Time for walkies. Kind of a slow day today. At least in the last 7 minutes I was able to come up with a quest idea for the comfy village on the outskirts of Santa country. The village needs a source of mana to keep the fires burning since the shipments from the capitol aren't always reliable. Every quest needs at least a branch then another branch on each branch so I'm thinking take it/produce it themselves then for take it route you can force a snow fairy village to provide yearly sacrifices or something. Just need to ideaguy 35 and a half more towns worth of quests, ways for the towns to influence each other depending on their states, think about the dungeons and region quests, then I'll probably have enough of an outline to start thinking about gameplay.

>still no loli themed orblikeFine, I will do it myself.
With 3D you can easily re-use animations on different models, and 3D environmental models. Meanwhile good luck reusing animations on different 2D sprites, or re-using environmental assets when you slightly changed the resolution and need everything to be a couple of pixels bigger so the main character doesn't look like a dwarf/giant. If anyone ever goes back to 2018, tell my past self to NEVER touch a drawing tablet and just stick to modeling.
>>492052110So you're an artist, right?
I should be less prideful and will continue to humble myself, but that doesn't mean I'm going to start taking intentionally vague and misleading advice from schizos who hate me and my game. That would be really dumb
>>492052110Fine, I will do it myself.
>>492051062She's so pretty bro's, I wish I had this. What game to get a gf like this? Doomer esque game with dark themes?
>>492052125>If anyone ever goes back to 2018, tell my past self to NEVER touch a drawing tablet and just stick to modeling.that's not a lost skill. You can draw reference for your future models and also draw the textures for them too. Don't be so harsh on yourself.
I'm just gonna use ducktyping everywhere because gdscript's inheritance is shit

>>492052125>changed the resolution and need everything to be a couple of pixels bigger so the main character doesn't look like a dwarf/giant.Don't remind me, I might need to redo various environmental pieces and the creatures in my game. After 2 graphics updates to my characters they are now something like 2x the size they used to be. Those tree's that once felt tall now feel small by comparison. That one enemy that felt slightly shorter than the characters now feels way too small. I don't want to redo all that art! Idk how I'm going to handle stuff like tree's. They used to feel big but now they don't and making them any bigger means the tree tops may end up above the top of the screen.

>>492053260Only a few people here are stupid enough to link their game to their jackass behavior, you're one of them.
>>492052325When you post your game on Twitter, what's the ratio of likes to views it's getting? Is it getting reposts? Are you getting follows? Are randos asking you what the game is about?If the answers are low, no, no and no, that's not an accident but a sign your game is unappealing.

Progress is good, mostly getting past the filler content and doing a bunch of it at once. Starting back on stuff that's going to require a bit more effort soon enough, but overall it's not that bad.
>>492052110ToK but with lolis and orcs.
>>492053165There isn't a problem of that with the sizes here. The characters are simply taller than before as my art skill improved and I got better at fitting details. Everything else just feels smaller as they are the only ones who kept receiving improvements over the years.

>>492054717It's not fear of being "exposed," it's a (completely valid) fear of thread trolls fucking up your reputation because they think ruining other people's stuff for no reason is funny. Remember when Roody2D launched on Steam, some troll thought it'd be funny to destroy it's reputation by spamming its steam page everywhere.
>>492052110You won't do anything cause loliposters (pedophiles) have no games

>>492056342Survivorslikes are good for indie gamedevs because they're the kind of game where zoomers see their funny youtubeman play it, they think "I'm going to pay for this game and play it myself". Meanwhile, they see their youtubeman play a gay exploration game and they'll be content with just watching their youtubeman play it. If a game is all visuals and no gameplay, why would most people bother playing it themselves?

any advice to become a yesdev? and in general how to be a good solodev and make money?i tried "just do it", but i just end up in over-scoped projects, projects that are just a worse copy of existing games or projects that cant run at decent framerates.

I've been going through twitter and found some artists who make really amazing low poly stuff. Sadly for whatever reason, they are also not making any games with said models, and at best just posting images of it posed or a small loop animation.

>>492060604You could reach out to them and groom them into this gamedev boondoggle and ruin their life
>>492058838the dark (fully opaque) shadows from the smoke look strange and make things hard to "read" imo. is there any way to get semitransparent shadows in Unreal? I would look into that if I were you. it's not so bad on the smoke trails when you drift, although those really shouldn't be gray on sand. but the smoke of explosions is very transparent. if you can't get semitransparent shadows I would actually suggest just deactivating shadows on the explosion smoke. I bet that would look more fitting.
Bocchiposters lost.
>>492059976i agree so much but there are othjer things to do

>>492060848Show us your game, we'll give you a fair objective assessment of your chances
Today I am gonna add the HP damage to the GUI bars to the players lifebars.
>>492061127Can you compare it to something funny? Like "same chance as getting struck by lightning while taking a shit inside a submarine"?
>>492060138force yourself to make small scope projects that focus on one thing and one thing only.suck at making menus? make a small scope project that is just menus.suck at physics? make a small scope project that is just a few physics interactions.as you progress, start combining things so you make a small scope project with two or three aspects.so, for example, a platform game with physics that has a menu.that way, you can focus on one thing at a time, and incrementally learn how to scale projects as you start adding other things.as for being a solodev who makes money... for a solo dev, follow the advice above, submit your games to itch or demo day, and get feedback to find what does and does not work. or if not, have friends play the game and give feedback... you do have friends, right?for making money, be in the right place at the right time. if you try making whatever flavour of the month game is popular to try and cash in, you won't finish in time.by the time you finish, the next flavour of the month will be around, and your clone of last month's flavour will disappear.if you actually want to make money as a dev, become a specialist in one aspect of game development, build a portfolio, and get a job at a studio or do gig work. or sell assets.for that, you have to consider this... even a great indie game may not get many sales, since gamers won't always want to play whatever you make. on the flip side, there is a plethora of no-devs out there willing to spend their money on pre-made assets or hiring outside help
>>492060741hmm good catch, I can probably make it so that shadows use dithering as they get more transparent. I don't think you can make the shadow casting work on transparent materials
>>492060138You will have a much happier and more fulfilling life if you give up on gamedev entirely. Only idiots and/or masochists want to be yesdevs.
>>492061959i am a yesdev and i love my life and the fulfilling and beautiful art of independent game development
>>492053475>>492053683Twitter performance is a decent indicator of future success, but it's not perfect. Bug Fables was unknown before it launched and had weak social media numbers, yet it was still massively successful and went on to form a very strong and lasting fanbase.
>>492061959Gamedev is my last and only hope of living a happy and fulfilling life by getting two cute girlfriends.
>>492061959the thing is, i want to do something where i make products. because i'm chronically ill. i can't attend at workplaces, move to another town, socialize with people etc.i'd be open to become a backend php dev, but i don't see how you could make money with that if you just want to make products that you put on marketplaces.
>>492062289twitter isn't some homogenous mass and many devs have made the mistake of marketing only to other devs
Progressthrowing together a 3d suika shapes type game in under a month for sale (steam page soon). Gameplay is mostly together. There's a hololive game like this that's popular right now so I have to go fast, but honestly there isn't a huge market like there was for suika game. I've already done everything in 2d though so this is easy mode.I want this game to have a cleaner UI compared to suika shapes, and have all players be focused on a single gamemode to start. It'll be very cheap and hopefully I can cross-promote a bit and make a bundle sale. I also need to take this opportunity to get my boilerplate code a bit more polished (localization, controller support, rebinding) and increase the speed I can get games out (I have a year+ project almost done too though).

I've been researching genres to figure out what my first real game should be. I think adult games are by far the best. Want to build a city builder or farming management game? Slap some big tiddy girls to have sexu with once in a while and rake in the money. You can do this for any game btw. I don't know why people are talking about this genre as oftenThe only 18+ game I've played is sengoku rance and the sex scenes (just still pics) really added to the experience. Not a lot of assets, just a few quality sex scenes.Don't really have to focus on marketing (hornballs are on the prowl). No competition from AAA studios. Large market of horny men to sell to. Need to hire artists to make qt big tiddy girl assets and just use programmer art for the rest of the game, not like the audience is going to complain. Is this the new meta strat?
>>492060392pretty decent idea
>>492062897I don't really want to make an anthropomorphic game...
>>492063537just dropped a million dollars worth of market research for free because you're my bros

>>492063537Just make an account on f95 for free software testing and slap a patreon in there.
>>492063861Maybe I should actually make one town and it's quests in UE5 and the other baseline systems so I can get an idea of how long it will take to make x amount of towns before even designing all of them and the other indirectly related town and other stuff?

I hope marmo don't give upwhat tips would you give to marmo right now?
>>492057747yep, saving this for release day
best way to yesdev is having complete financial security and not spending a single thought on money.if you think about money you are too obsessed with making the perfect game and you are becoming too critical of every idea, also you become extremely impatient.and you cant do anything about it, because your instincts wont let you waste time on experiment when you need money right now.

He eventually had a meltdown about how one of Godot's big contributors is an ethnic Russian and they wouldn't get rid of him simply for being Russian, for which he got banned from all the major Godot contributor channels, like the rocketchat and github. After that, he goes on to make a bunch of anti-Godot propaganda out of spite.

>>492073945No, just worried about talking to people in general.It's related to marketing because I've noticed knowing the right people makes a huge difference and everyone is using Discord these days.I'm afraid people will figure out I have autism right away.
Just hypothetically, obviously this wouldn't happen, but just hypothetically, say your game was going to sell a million copies, had thousands of preorders and tons of hype with people looking up everything they can about your game, and that led them to here where you have a cool like, complete devlog with all your thoughts that went in to making the game that other aspiring devs could read for inspiration potentially. How much could that interfere with your release and sales? Of course the dev in question is a genuinely well meaning person that just wants everyone to be happy and never said anything mean or was obviously joking in his devlogs?
>>492074092>trolls trying to spread fud and make actual devs afraid to post their gamesnice try Rahjeet, I'm fearless

>>492074092It's not even that. No one ever responds to "post game" by posting a game because it doesn't get you anything. By the time any argument devolves into the "post game" stages, whatever anon you're arguing with isn't going to look at any game posted in good faith. Back when I was new to the thread, like a retard, I posted my game in response to "post game", and all they did was nitpick at anything they could. Plus, no one ever posts their own game along with the request to "post game".

>>492074723>and all they did was nitpick at anything they could.that's it?that's what i love about this place. When I show friends my game, they're afraid to offend and mostly just tell me that it's good. I come to /agdg/ for harsh, brutal honesty that you can only get from here. It's easy to know what's honest and needs to be fixed vs. who's shitposting. I post progress here because I WANT people to pick it apart. If you can't handle that you're afraid your game isn't perfect or flawless, you need to grow a backbone.
>>492075661Nice fan fiction. You have no game.
>>492075743only people with no game pull this "post game" shit
>>492075724You’re retarded and likely one of my victims. I am constantly giving insanely bad feedback that appears genuine and earnest so that the dev will spend a ton of time on a problem that doesn’t matter at all. Almost all agdg advice posters are doing this
>>492075661no one would ever play a game and associate it it with >"that dev from the nazi pedo website"that's the exact autistic paranoia i'm talking about.

>>492076164LMAO HE ACTUALLY ADDED IT HAHAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAGA
>>492075941people would absolutely refuse to buy a game because the dev is a controversial figure, you have to remember 90% of the indie game market is literal redditors
>>492076301>people would absolutely refuse to buy a game becauseit went woke and injected a bunch of sjw propaganda into the game.don't worry i'm keeping up with the times.
>>492075724>That's it?He doesn't mean that the nitpicking is horribly painful to him, he means that it doesn't progress the conversation at all. When someone disagrees with you and you post your shit they just nitpick your work to change the subject and believe they are superior despite not posting work of their own.
>>492075724I'm not afraid of feedback, good or bad, I'm afraid of some troll pretending to be me constantly spamming my steam page on /v/ to destroy my game's reputation.

>>492075670is this a sex game?
>>492076923You know, mentioning Roody2D just solved a mystery. I thought those were animations I kept encountering in the shorts but no, this is the same exact art style. It's Roody2D I kept seeing.
>>492076862On that subject, I'm genuinely curious what the actual impact was of that one impersonator who would constantly false-flag spam that itch.io game about a trans girl in an onsen. Did it help more or hurt more for that game?
Posting your game in /agdg/ is like making a food metaphor. Even if nothing bad comes of it, nothing good could come of it either - so why would you bother?
>>492076923>$15 for a low effort 2d game>early access>looks completely unremarkable>still positive reviewsi don't know if trolls had anything to do with it.
>>492047105In godot is there a way I can make a certain block in a tilemap a one way collision? I can see the option for normal collision shapes but cant for the tilemaps
>>492048721Erik Barone used to browse here so apparently there is some hope for /us/
Unfortunately most of the lower quality shitposting, crabbing and stalking is from a handful of scorned anons who couldn't take criticism and decided they'd turn this general into the hellish place they imagined in their heads and they spend a lot of time falseflagging, impersonating and being edgelords.This isn't really an /agdg/ specific issue though, it's a /vg/ issue. This place has been schizophenia containment for a long time.
I... give... up....
>>492077396The option is under the TileSet data, not the TileMap.

If your game isn't fun with the most hideous programmer art, it won't be fun later.
>>492077304I don't understand. Can you explain that to me using a food metaphor?
>>492077304>nothing good could come of itY'know, except I saw like 6 guys go buy Marmoreal and give their honest feedback about how to improve the game. 56 bucks and feedback sounds pretty good to me.

>>492078229again>not making games for yourselfishiggydiggyIf you are not the biggest fan of your game you are doing it wrong. if you make your games for numbers of players, I sincerely hope you fail.
>>492077715woah man $56 and a couple of replies from trannies??? damn sounds absolutely worth making thousands of posts in this general for
>>492078229if you wouldn't play it, then there's your answer.Make a game you want to play.
Making a game you want to play is basically 'treat others as you want to be treated'.You're seeing your customer as a Human being instead of a number.I don't care how much money the trends allude that a balatro-like would make. I don't play them, so I will not make them. This is why trend chasers get left in the dust. They're acting like businessmen instead of gamers.
>>492078437>thousands of posts???i've made maybe...ten? and i've gotten lots of good feedback that helped me realize what my game was missing. That's what I'm here for.
>>492074782thanks bud
>>492078636marmo has absolutely made thousands of posts in his 10 years here
Come to think of itHow are any of the weebs who would actually want to play Marmoreal supposed to find it, I don't think Steam promoted it much and lol advertising on r*dditThere's actually an audience for that brand of cringe rwbyesque pseudo animeshit and you're not going to find them in subreddits for grimdark ARPGs
Maaaybe I like interacting with the people here, did you think about that?What an ass hat...Anyways, I finally implemented collision. At the rate I'm going(the game's not going to be very complex,) I might actually be able to make the AGDG demo deadline. That said, basically none of the art would be finished by then... Ah well.The webm is scuffed, which is very annoying.
>>492077508I looked under the tilemap and the tileset data and I cant find it I think they removed it cousin

"Make a game you want to play" is possibly the most insidious advice you can get here. (You), yes you, the reader of this post, are likely one of two kinds of people.1. You are a 130+ IQ autist. You have the technical ability to make a fun game, but your sensibilities are too far from the norm. A game that you particularly enjoy isn't marketable.2. You are a sub-100 IQ delusional retard who's too stupid to realize how NGMI you are. Your sensibilities are normie enough, and a game you enjoy can be reasonably marketable. However, making and shipping a marketable game is one of the absolute hardest things you can do in life, and you are way too much of an underachiever to do that.If your want to make a game that will be enjoyed by a large audience, then your goal needs to be to "Make a game that your TARGET MARKET wants to play."
think this is the design i will use for the brother and sister pinecone people. names are placeholders. tomorrow i'll start with the 3d models
I made the game I wanted to play and enjoy playing it but the people who play it get lost unless I basically play for them.
>>492078229its all about perspective.even if it doesn't get many people playing, you still accomplished a lot.you made a game, you put in the work to finish it, and hopefully your skills as a dev improved.you now have an idea for what it takes to actually finish a game, so you can hopefully do better next time.not everything is an instant, overnight success. the only way for it to be "for nothing" is if you give up at the first bump in the road.it's all about perspective. if you're only in this for money, then yeah. a game that doesn't make many sales will be "for nothing"if you're in this because you like it, then who cares? if you truly like working on your game, and you truly think that the game is something you'd enjoy... then it's a given that there will at least be someone who likes it too.look, you're not that unique. so if you like something, then someone else will too. so the best way to actually enjoy this, is to make games that you'd wanna play. that's it.don't worry about money or anything. if you're relying on this for financial success, then build a portfolio as a specialist and get a job at a studio.again, if you're sincere, then right now you're just worried cus of self-esteem issues. that's fine, but that's more of a you problem.if you can learn to identify you problems, you can let them not control your life. because when they get in the way, then you won't accomplish anything.that's with game dev, and with life in general.tl;dr - take a look at pic related. that's you now. deal with it.
>>492074260What are they going to do? Run articles, make YouTube videos and post on reddit that the dev of popular upcoming game... is a 4chan incel.
>>492081334spoken like a true nodevthe single biggest motivator to actually make and finish a game is wanting to play it yourself
>>492081123Adults in the game are "a head" taller and are "stylized" to be a bit more "realistic".Nortubel barely has an "art style" to begin with, but there are some "rules" with how some characters are drawn.>>492081278At the start, she had pure black hair and the Decarde had pure orange hair.First I gave the Decarde green parts because of both the "Carrot/Orange" placeholder names at the time and then I gave Katrin blue just because I thought it could work.Here's another extremely old image from like 2018.
>>492081626that isn't true at all. almost no developer *likes* playing their game by the time it's done. your reward for making something is the joy during the process. you will NOT enjoy the end product. that's for others
>>492081626You're NGMI. Me? I'm a people pleaser, and I'm far more motivated by seeing other people enjoy my work.
>>492082046post your game.
>>492081918I can tell you i'm definitely a huge fan of my game. I'm so excited to play the final result of my game with my kids. They love it too, and that is more then enough fans for me :)also i'm very addicted to my own game. I probably spend more time playing it than actually devving.

need to figure out classes in godot, I've just been saving every separate thing as its own scene...
I will never make or design UI for my game ever again, to get a full professional looking UI with all assets and layouts costs around 1k - 1.5k meanwhile I have spent upwards of like 70+ hours on UI alone and it looks meh.
>>492083136I see no problem.
>>492083190anon...
>>492083416lmfaobut he did end up making a game tho
>>492083190OOP related tutorials for Godot are lacking, there's a ton for unity though. Seems like most people in godot dont give a shit about architecture and design patterns.https://youtu.be/oF9Gjs0ZxL4https://youtu.be/W8gYHTjDCichttps://youtu.be/74y6zWZfQKk
>>492082587thats a lot of words for saying that you're a coping crab
>>492083238>70 hours is a lot of timeGames often have a UI designer as a distinct role
>>492082967I think at some point, Carrie and Oscar could've been blonde.Like way before "Nortubel" as a name was thought out and they had no background at all.I'm glad I made them gingers instead.
>>49208370570 hours * 20 dollars an hour = 1400I could be flipping burgers and getting a better UI
>>492083649maybe thats cus us godot devs are with the times and dont objectify our games.first, dont objectify us. we're hot and valid. second, dont objectify our games.you fucking misogynists can keep your objectification-oriented games, us beacons for the future will do things our way.
Is it a good idea to make a Blue Archive-like?
>>492079726Thanks man!
>>492084353do you have several hundred million dollars?
>>492080071fix it nowotherwise, one of two things will happen. you'll either keep making your game, run into an issue, and then have to deal with fixing everything then. depending how far along that is, it'll be a way bigger pain in the ass compared to fixing it now... or, you'll slow down your progression, because anything new you add or anything you change you'll hesitate, thinking about how implementing that will only add to the inevitable code cleanup.or, you'll just have a spaghetti mess and somehow finish your game. or give up completely.so yeah, fix it now.
>>492082665I don't want an AIposter to play my game.
>>492081334Notch was a 130+ IQ autist, and he made the game he wanted to play.
Something I also remember I did with Nortubel long ago was the idea of Carrie being interested in fish and wanting to persue an area about it but she gave up.And I bring this up because of Sarah in DOJD, so it felt like a weird coincidence.This is also why I had her and Carrie interact in that one art.
>>492077742Cool but second the ships orbiting the station. Sitting nearby would be more realistic and a chill vibe.
>>492081334You can try to optimize for the mass market but fundamentally as a solo dev you can only rely on your own sense of taste which at its basest level can be roughly described as "make the game you want to play."All the jeet trend chasing in the world won't save you if its a game that doesn't appeal to you. This is also precisely why design-by-committee shit falls flat so often.
>>492085025Yeah, Wurm Online flopped pretty hard. After that, he made a game with broad appeal that toddlers and manchildren alike could enjoy.

I know i won't make it in the private sector. Regardless of what job i would get, i think i have to put gamedev off for a while lol perhaps for three years to learn basic social skills and bureaucracy.

Is everyone else here depressed too? I feel like that's always my excuse, but if this is my life then I can't say "I won't dev today, I'll do it when I feel better" because that day will never come.Gotta work regardless.
How do I make a game that kids would enjoy?
>>492088218I'm depressed and I tell myself "I won't dev today, I'll do it when I feel better" and then I just never dev. It's been 3 years of posting here and I still haven't started my game.
>>492087725I dunno man. I'm graduating in november and I picked up a software testing course and a webdev course to jog some memory. I did a 12 month of internship at some national bank at least.My bachelor thesis was about a terrain generator in unity using wave function collapse, and i paid someone to do the coding and diagram part while i work on the papers. I'm dumb as shit for real. If actually learned laravel during my internship back in 2023 and decide to make a laravel project too for my bachelor thesis while grinding leetcode, i would be more confident to jobhunt.

Why did Godot opt to make one unit equivalent to one meter instead of one centimeter? I get why Unity made that mistake given they were a student startup saddled with tech debt from early decisions but Godot had no reason to make the same mistake twice.

>>492088218>>492088501Every time you surrender to weakness, it creates a debt that must be paid. Every time you reject weakness and power on ahead, you pay off some debt and grow more powerful.The sooner you understand and harness this dynamic, the sooner you can staunch the bleeding. Because you are bleeding to death right now. You are facing unimaginable pain in the near future and you can either start microdosing yourself right now or get buttfucked by the lump sum later.
>>492089441I've watched this before. Save yourself an hour and google mindfulness.
>>492088218No I'm not depressed, my life is great. But I used to be depressed and I don't recommend trying to distract yourself from your problems through gamedev. That's why this field is full of troons. Gamedev is hard enough withoht carrying the millstone of depression around your neck while you try to do it. Develop yourself, not a videogame. Videogames will still be a thing you can come back to if you want to
>>492089460yeah but like... whatever man
Added combos, hitstun, walking cancels on hit, and animation reset on hit.:)Now is an almost professional combo.
>>492089552Save yourself more than just an hour and Google Jesus Christ instead of some cringe satanic self-worshipping eastern philosophy
Have you guys tried making a good game?Not a good game according to your Japanese cartoon addled autistic gaybrain, but an objectively good game that people want to play
>>492088501I did this for a while too. I watched a tutorial and made pong, then just sat around shitposting for 2 years because I didn't have the intrinsic motivation to start on a game. The secret is, you'll never feel better, you just feel worse and worse for putting it off. You need to just snap and tell yourself "fuck it, you NEED to work on this shit, you fucking retard". It's only short-term motivation, so you still need to force yourself into the habit of devving, but it's enough momentum to get you started.
>>492089846I've watched this before. Save yourself an hour and watch anime.

>>492089858yeah lots of yesdevs that are obviously anime goon brained
I've added a simple karaoke UI which highlights each syllable as the music progresses. All I need to do is to add the timings to the code and it should work nicely.Afterwards the final characters on the right need to sing and add a "Thanks for playing" / credits on the end.

>>492093970I grant you permission to continue talking shit about Cris
>>492091678>>492093915I feel like using a bezier curve with the center control point "height" set to something like 1/5th the distance between planets would work pretty well here, should also make everything consistent enough to just calculate the text angle

>>492096180pretty sure all of those were created just because their games are too dead to survive on /vg/it would be nice if all the mobile gachashit was exiled out of /vg/ to /vmg/ where it belongs though, rather than just the unpopular ones

>>492101363>>492101223>tfw the girls in Arcana Heart are generally not cute or funny enoughThey're borderline hags
>10 years>16 reviewsWhat can we learn from this?
>>492097930Also utterly obsessed with cute and beautiful things and repulsed by the ugly and grotesque. Over here it's the opposite.
>>492101223Illyasviel game but she's a thicc momma with giant booba
>>492101525don't build a game entirely around weaboo shit
>>492099849https://discord.gg/QgZE5xFh
>>492101525Don't waste time jerking off to vtubers and actually focus on shipping. If you were to tally up time spent working and time wasted jerking off, Marmoreal was something like 20-80.

>>492101780>focus on shippingoh believe me, I do
>>492101493You've got at least 4 true lolis, a shark loli and a bunch of hebes like Lilica. What more do you need?
>>492101525>You either buy a publisher, or you live long enough to see yourself become a flop
>>492100250>>492101223Okay but which dev are you and what's your game??????

>>492102761I'm not clicking on that shit fag
>>492103484gmi if you make that many progresses
>>492103525dw, it's just a loli. it's safe to click
>>492103484Is that Twitter? Because if you don't have thousands this number means nothing.t.Followed by 200 porn bots and rising.
>>492103565yeah buddy>>492103835yah its xitter. my goal for pre-release is to have 10k followers. I've noticed that most games that crack that do quite well on release
The true inner circle
I JUST HECKIN' FIGURED OUT A BUGGERINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>492103098She's tomboyish at worst
>>492089858Most people here can't even do anything without a youtube follow-along tutorial tab open
>>492106148at this point, Claude is barely helping. I'm in deep.I really see the flaws of Claude and ChatGPT when I'm in this deep.
Slowly making objects.

>>492077780He said so himself?
>>492090757t. codelet
>>492077780Lol to think that Johnathan Blow could be tracking my progress. To think that I may have bantered with Johnathan Blow.
>>492078229It's a fear of mine. I want lots of sales and lots of plays.
>>492069995love the hand cursor!
>>492107896thanks! :)
Keep moving forward!
>bled accepts my friend request>doesnt reply to my message
>>492108098*moves diagonally**backwards*watchu gon do whyteboi huh?
>>492082967Lol. What are the odds you'll get a fangirl 3d artist if you make it? Im sure there's plenty that'd be interest in joining a dev team but only after the fact it's proven itself. So how can we differentiate one like that from a genuine gf or someone just looking to get a job?>>492089059She's so pretty but I already know such a looker would never date me :(
I did mushrooms this week instead of devving. Worth it.
>>492108602Well, my strategy is to pray and believe.Mark 11:23-24.I think she'll message me as I release devlogs. It'd be quick to distinguish between employment and genuine gf by just refusing to pay her and instead date her.
>>492083416Kek that's based. It's the kinda weird solutions I use to get stuff doing what I want when I can't figure out how to code it.
>>492060104Really cool!
>>492108532ayo, we straight up makin' it up in here homeboy

>>492109170He only has one eye? Is that his weakness or his strength?
>>492109462thats a penis
>>492108098How long does it take to make an animation like this? Looks cute>>492089059>>492108602>pic related>looks like this without makeup>20 years oldWew imagine makeup didn't exist. The roles would be reversed, I wouldn't even be giving her multiple glances irl, she looks old, she'd probably be the one going out of her way to get a bf
>>492109462that's a vagina
>>492109170Horsecock enemy
>>492109462thats hermaphroditei wonder how those people feel with the rise of troon freaks
>>492109751NTA but idk man, you're a faggot, I would fuck her
>>492108458Oh, I didn't notice that. I just saw the friend request and didn't see any direct message notification. Sorry...
>>492109751she has a nice jaw.I love women with strong jaws.
My biggest fear is to make a popular game, yes, exactly that. I'm scared of my game being infested with TikTok zoomers or with weird people, like coomers and Twitter tumblerinas with the fucking watermelon emoji. The idea of being stalked and doxxed scares me.
>>492109526>>492109780>>492110030You guys are so lewd~Its obviously a cyclops, maybe you could call him the psyclops
>>492110397
>>492110397more like the psyslops lmao
>>492110105ok
>>492108098What was she going to say?
>>492110362Just don't make a game that appeals to those people.
>>492108602>She's so pretty but I already know such a looker would never date me :(Be confident and try to imagine, that she has a personality that you'd despise. You just flip the game in your mind, now she has to impress you, not the other way around, making you look more confident.
>>492110362Don't worry you would have to make something worth playing first and we both know that's never happening :)
>>492110467>>492109170sir, this is a blue board
>that marmo releasewhat the fuckwhat chance do the rest of us have?it's so fucking over, the demoralizationspammer was rightthe market is oversaturated, nobody gives a fuck about your "cute" game unless you can stand out among dozens of other daily releases one way or another
>>492110467Anon I think you should get some reference art for Cyclop's, they don't look like that. Then again creative expression does have some stuff like this designed noticeably differnt from game to game.>>492110053Ive seen much better looking girls with 0 makeup than her. Wew the girl who liled me back in high school was better looking than this. Seems makeup really pushes them up a lot.
>>492083416>I was only keeping track of things on post-it notes not actually variables in the gameI want to see his room
>>492110889What are you talking about? Marmoreal is doing very well for a game of its size.
>>492110467its clearly a penis
>>492110889Marmo needs to be a 30-40 hour game to succeed. I think he understands.
>>492110889or Marmoreal is just a shit unappealing video game
>>492111062Didn't Marmo say he include some sort of sandbox mode?
>>492109170>>492110467The Psyslops, near death it douses you in a white sticky fluid. Lowering your dex and mobility. It also neighs like a horse.
>>492111178He did. I tried it. It's fun in of itself, but it feels empty because you're grinding for gear when there's nothing to use that gear for.
>>492110889marmoreal flopping is because it doesnt have polishlook at that capsule art alone. People will get turned off by it.
>>492110889It's not even finished and the advertising was tepid to put it nicelyAll in all it's a learning experience for everyone involved and Marmo should be proud to have seen it through!
>>492108098
>>492111419Skyrim didn't have polish. Tell me why it flopped.
>>492110889Nigger
>>492106342>I really see the flaws of Claude and ChatGPT when I'm in this deep.Yeah, Claude still surprises me sometimes with it's ability but ChatGPT is worthless now
>>492110889have you even played it because it plays like shit. Why is there not an auto equip button for better gear? Why does every equipment type need it's own inventory? Why is character switching a thing at all when it's barely incentivized? And that's just from like 10 mins of playing. Also sound effects unappealing, environments/textures look like literal ass, character models look like ass, bland uninspired enemies and character designs, weird ass health system, ugly loading screens, useless minimap, the only thing I like are some of the spell particles everything else is complete garbage
wow thanks Timmy, you're a real G
>>492111507Absolute kino quote
>>492110889it's time to take the coomdev pill bros...
>>492111689Now give me all the assets from those games timmy, work out a deal.
>>492111021>a game its sizeA game that took ten years of its dev’s life to make?
>>492110889I've given up on ever being a great man in this world.
>>492111689thanks for reminding me, I've been wanting to try that DS clone for a while and I completely forgot they were giving it away
>>492111865time to hire coom artists to spam nsfw marmo 'fan' art on xitter
>>492112008I keep seeing this 10 year number get thrown around but I don't know where it's from. Is there like... a fucking public tracker for agdg projects or something?
>>492111689>From the creator of Dead Space...>...A game that has none of Dead Space's appeal and sucks too>also some random ASSFAGGOTS I've never heard ofThanks Timmy...Man how did Glen fuck that game up so badly, depressing.
>>492112395Yeah, it's called Demo Days.There are 6 per year and Marmo participated in Demo Days 1. Demo Days 58 is in less than 2 weeks. You do the math and consider that you need to work for at least a few months before you have a demo.
>>492112008are you being intentionally disingenuous? 10 years != 10 years of labor.My current hobby game started 7 years ago, but I only work on it 1-2 hours a day. are you gonna be all "7 years.. for THIS? pfft!"
>>492110397more like polyphimosis
>>492112395>>492112902www.indiedb.com/games/marmorealMarmo has actually been at it since 2013 (earliest date i could confirm) 2 years before demodays were even a thing
>>492112902Oh huh, I didn't realize it was just six a year.So, how "complete" should a game be before I post progress in the demo day anyways?I'm... considering chucking my barely-functional prototype with like 20 short levels into the next demo day.
>>492113103No, we're going to be like "10 years..for THIS? pfft!"It's important to hyberbolize when shitposting
>>492087248proud of you son
>>492113221SOVL overload
>>492113221Incredible...
>>492113405This sure looks like the exact Marmoreal game that was just released. Yup, definitely been working on the exact same game for 11 YEARS.
>>492113226Does it run?Have you posted in the thread so people will recognize you and try your game?That's all you really need to worry about.
>>492113564more like GrandfatherAndrew
Doom (2016) took over 24 years to make because a game of the same name started development in 1992.
>>492113267I can only hope.
>>492113708It does those things, and I've done that to... basically no acclaim because it's not exactly the most exciting game out there.
>>492113729>Last Online Apr 23 2013He passed away before he had a chance to see the game finally release...into Early AccessRip in pace old codger...
>>492113405Looks like more of a change of vision or ideas rather than just one game being worked on for that long.
>>492113267>It's important to merely pretend to be retarded>It's important to merely pretend to be retarded
>>492113607If I am perpetually reworking and tweaking my game because of indecisiveness the time investment doesn't get refundedPeople could already tell that Marmo was fucking around too much 11 years ago (>>492113564)
>>492113103>10 years != 10 years of labor.Be that as it may, that's still far too long for a game like Marmoreal. For comparison, Stardew Valley was made in 4 and a half years, and that's WITH Eric starting over and redoing everything. Marmo has spent 10 years in development only for the result to be a four hour long early access game. There's working at your own pace and then there's just wasting time.
>>492113405engine devs and timely releases, name a stronger rivalry.
someone start a new thread for me to post progress
>>492114345You can post progress now
>>492114298>Stardew Valley was made in 4 and a half yearwith a supportive wife cooking, cleaning and working full-time to support his dream. and he was making a clone, in 2d.
>>492114494i'm trying to maximize my ((you)) coefficient
>>492114576You should apply for govt funding from Norway
>>492113976Do you why?That is sort of what feedback is for. A lot of posters here are nice enough to try your game if you ask too.
>>492114156What skills did he learn during that time? Did he start out knowing how to program and do 3d art?>>492114298This is if you ignore the fact that Eric spent years learning various skills like programming, music, and art beforehand.https://youtu.be/oE1Rm7F7f20?si=jMeT5pVQLaf4yIiM&t=426
>>492114576Holy shit shaneequa thats pretty bad ass. Does fried chicken heal her?
>>492114683Yeah, I know why it's had no acclaim, in fact I kind of planned on it having no acclaim. It's literally a early 90s-styled maze game and my current prototype has absolutely 0 graphical polish. I basically only posted it to prove to myself I made progress today.
>>492114576that looks dope
>>492114661idgi, why would norway want to fund this
>>492114523Marmoreal is still not the top of game that should 10+ years to make. Even Cuphead took less time, and that game was traditionally animated and the devs were about to lose their house.>Cuphead: 4-5 years of development time>Marmoreal: 10 years and counting
>>49211469715,000 hours to make stardew valleyHere I am 7 years in at 5000 hours, I am wasting time. I'm so lazy...
>>492114964>Cuphead >Credits 251 people
>>492115158Marmoreal is still not the top of game that should take 10+ years to make.
Anyone reach the end of Marmoreal? Are you in the credits?
>>492115214You're assuming a highly-motivated industry-experienced highly-competent dev made it, which would be false.
>>492114964Cuphead, the 2d game with multiple devs and only needing about 1000 lines of code took 5 years?
>>492114523Eric is italian. He's 100% the cook. He's also home all day, so he would do the cleaning too. It's unfaithful to say he didn't have to struggle to make his game.
>>492115289It's too hard
>>492115289I finished all the story missions. There's no credits. The NPC dialogue alludes to future content.
>>492115289>Are you in the credits?I gave advice and did art paintovers but didn't contribute anything directly. maybe I'm there as special thanks Anon.
I wonder if Heroes for Hire dev already trademarked the name. I want to steal it. It's a good name
>>492115378If Cuphead only needed 1000 lines of code then post your Cuphead game
Heroines for Hire
>>492115591https://trademarks.justia.com/861/41/heroes-for-86141821.html>Marvel (Disney) owns the trademarknvm then
>>492115415>It's unfaithful to say he didn't have to struggle to make his game.>It's unfaithful to sayyeah. now apply that to marmo, is it faithful to say "Took 10 years for THIS?"?
>>4921159232 hours of kino, so yes.
I've been fighting battle with this bug . in the trenches.....
>>4921156211000 lines is hyperbole. it's a run and gun like contra in Unity. I'm sure it got bloated with code in the end.
Some mother fucker has already reserved AGDG day 100.Also, Blue9Fairy reserved up to 82... Which means that 83->99 aren't claimed. What the actual fuck is this coordination?
>>492115923SDV is grounded as a systems game, with content sprinkled on top. Marmoreal is too much of a content game and doesn't lean hard enough on its systems.
>>492115958Thank you
>>492116283>>492116283>>492116283
>>492116215The only coordinating that happened was agdg all trusted random people to gobble up future DDs like they didn't care.
>>492116216Marmo should have put a gambling mini game in. >yeah, it's a 40 hour game. yes I played diggydaggy poker for 35 hours of the playtime.
>>492116401marmoreal literally has a roguelite segment where you can play forever
>>492116486But, there's zero reason to play it.
>>492116530The game doesn't loop into higher difficulties like virtually every ARPG since Diablo 2? Yikes
>>492116486that's pretty cool
>mfw tunneling occurs in godot and I have to take solace in the fact that not a single solitary soul using the engine has figured out a way to stop that from occuring
>>492116661And that's a good thing. We hate Diablo 2 and its knock offs here.
>>492116661PoE doesn't :)
>>492116672My tunneling needs to be a feature at this point...
>>492117050Its gotten so bad that Ive considered it
>>492114576i missed you yatpig dev
>>492116672Testing a series of collisions on that path to leave no gap before a physics tick doesn't work?
>>492114576K I N OINO
>>492116672>>492117050>>492117287Jolt?
>>492117473what do If a collision is detected in the gap doe?
>>492119046Then reduce the speed so that the next physics tick hits there without tunneling.
Is tunneling the idea that you can go through a wall if your speed is fast enough?If so, just have an extra (cheap) check whether starting_x <= wall_x <= ending_x (and for the other coordinates) to see if you would go through a wall.For a triangle you can just do this with the 3d plane it generates.Works for my homegrown engine.
