>>492229680Here are five tiers of gloves with increasing rarity and power, designed according to your system:Tier 1: Wool GlovesDescription: Basic gloves made from wool, offering minimal protection and warmth. Commonly found and used by novice adventurers.Tier 2: Linen MittsDescription: Simple but sturdy mitts crafted from linen, providing slightly better protection and flexibility compared to wool.Tier 3: Silk HandwrapsDescription: Luxurious handwraps made from fine silk, offering increased dexterity and moderate magical resistance.Tier 4: Arcane GripsDescription: Gloves infused with arcane energy, enhancing spellcasting abilities and offering significant protection against magical and physical threats.Tier 5: Eldritch GauntletsDescription: Legendary gauntlets woven from otherworldly materials, granting unmatched power, protection, and mastery over arcane forces.These tiers can roll with qualities like "Ragged Wool Gloves," "Solid Linen Mitts," or "Elegant Eldritch Gauntlets," allowing for a variety of item combinations that reflect both the quality and power level of the gear.
>>492229971stay low poly. People will use their imagination.
>>492230116fuck off Faggy
>>492230116If you make your game high poly faggots like this will crab you and call you a soulless asset flipper
>>492230318Are there even any high poly agdg games?
Can we talk weird tips or habits that are positive?I have two PCs, one in my room, and one in my front room. Coding on one in the morning and modelling on the other really helps me break monotony and get in the right mindset to do each job.
met a qt3.14 today at work, all i could say was 'good morning'its over
I'm still alive. I'm adding a running slash attack to the sword. Might make some sort of move for after a dodge too. I also added a better indicator for hunger when the stamina cap gets to half or lower. I also also greatly optimized the foliage, doubling frame rates in foliage dense areas.
>>492230430Yeah poe2 got posted last thread guess you missed it
give a me a cool idea for a high poly character and i'll make a nice looking sculpt fast.
>>492230552I either have modern game fatigue or autism but I really want to play a cRPG with a simple art style like this, especially just short and sweet text on a plain background.
>>492230461Nigga when do you actually work? How do you make money? >inb4 mommy buys me everything Lmaooo
>>492230763Same, anon, same. I pray everyday for one.
>>492229971Do more with less
>>492230635This one >>492214984 ?Oh yeah, I did miss it. Looks great.
>>492230461I recently acquired an office and it's helped my productivity a lot I think. I knew getting a $1000 gaming dev laptop was a good idea.
>>492222898I wonder how many retards here didn't pay attention in school because "I'll never need to use math in real life!!!!" only to take up programming and not even knowing what the fuck sin and cos does. jfc this general is doomed
>>492230635Adding it to the vercel list
>>492230657Picrel, if you please.
>>492230814I have enough money to take a year or two off to try this out. I own my house and I don't have expensive habits.>>492230910Office located away from your home?
>>492231068You don't get to real motion with sin and cos unless you go into calculus which isn't a requirement in the states. Math in programming is also different than math problems because it's like using a calculator that trips over itself since the variable comes from some other data and isn't a random value.
>>492231278And calculus is basically required for any college degree which if you don't have a degree in the states that's basically like failing elementary school
>>492231068I wonder how many retards here paid attention in school because "I'll need to calculate projectile movement in a real time physical simulation all by myself without googling anything!!!!" only to end up 30 year old kissless virgins
we appreciate non-college graduates here sirno need for your elitismyall suck at game dev the same as them
>>492231481Yes because finding a romantic partner and paying attention in a class you are forced to attend are mutually exclusive
>>492231589more like inversely proportional
tfw I paid attention in school, got an engineering degree, and had sex with several different girls during my time at college.
>>492231385No? I'm sure it's a requirement for a lot of STEM, but STEM is like what, 10% of degrees? There's all other kinds of degrees from history, literature, philosophy, etc. Arguably, statistics is more important to learn than calculus.
>>492231156BLUE BOARD FFS!
>>492231068i dont remember what sin and cos do but i know its simple enough i can google it and find out quickly if i need it
>>492231068How would they know they would become game devs thougheverbeit?
i'm dropping my project i fucking hate low poly modeling I want to sculpt detailed pretty characters not blocks but that won't work for this idea
Ugh I just want to make a game where you play in a doomed world populated by right triangles but I just can't figure out how to get them just right.
It's crazy that I have to redo every single thing I do like fifty times. At some point as a solodev you just have to accept that what you're doing is shit and go with it, I guess. Even if it's your 30th attempt and it needs a 31st, you just have to accept it's piss forever.
>>492231754more like gaping turdcutters (male)
>>492232050>someone has the same idea as youit's over
I can't make a game.It's beyond my means.I'm gonna focus on my slideshow novel idea.
work on your shutting up idea
>>492232046Why?
>>492231156Thats not the proper way to perform the heimlich maneuver.
I hate 3D dev so much. Why is placing down assets so annoying? You click on the wrong thing, your hierarchy spazzes out and goes to the item which isn't even close to the item you want to click so scrolling the hierarchy full of hundreds of items is useless. Who the hell actually places rocks, plants, trees and all these small things by hand? This is so time consuming and I have to do it so things look different with rotations, scaling and combining models. Then you still have to walk around and see how it looks from all angles and if it didn't break anything with physics. I just want to make a game, not be a horticulturist.
>>492232081Iterate faster. Instead of going 2, 3, 4, 5, go 2, 4, 8, 16, 15, 14. Good. Learn how to optimize your workflow.If it's a design issue, I often see anon's here saying "How do you know if your game is fun?"You'll know if you're having fun playing it. You should be having the most fun playing your game, because when you implement a cool idea, you know every cool direction you can take it is a potential future. If that isn't happening, you need to keep iterating, try some wack stuff out.
>>492232527lmao he's not using a foliage scattering tool. retard
>>492232527Why would you place objects manually? Just instantiate them via code.
>>492232527>placing rocks by handHey bud procedural foliage generation has existed for like, 10 years
>>492232527do Godotards really?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pedFWUYgdTA
>>492232527Even Skyrim placed its shit procedurally
>>492232302>back to the e-book ideaYou cycle back to this idea every month or so. Does this mean you're on or off meds?
- 1h 40m working on implementing scenarios- 20m spent on drawing some scenario art.My scheme for making objectives is working well. Was able to add a new 'population growth' objective in minimal time and since objectives objects are created in the editor, I can tweak them for scenarios.Scenarios being a set of objectives completed in some sequence.I tried apply a screen(blending mode, not screen-reading) shader to the objective window for the eye-catcher when the objective changes, but this was a bad idea since the material would be applied per-node element, so I just use a color rect on top of everything that I tweak the color to white.It did cause me to experiment a little with Godot's text rendering and apply shaders to it and discover that the TEXTURE data doesn't have the font outline color, instead it just seems to be the font color so I guess that's applied later in the pipeline. Might have to look into this more later because I may want to add some custom text effects like fading text in.Also, I recorded myself devving and it cause me to focus in way more then I have been recently. The recording is from a bad angle so I don't think I'll learn much from it, but I'll try again tomorrow and see what I look like while programming. I got the idea from watching videos about people talking about how to improve at lifting.I kind of want to start lifting now, but I'm afraid to go to the gym.
>>492232724>>492232803The tool is terrible. It only works on a large scale, anything small and it looks ridiculous. It also treats your objects separately as a group instead of individuals. Scattering doesn't even work with multiple objects, so I don't know what you guys are on. It works with one object. The instant you try to do two or three, they'll start overlapping in a bad way. >>492232787There's no way people actually instantiate the entire world from code. This is abnormal. It's understandable in a heavy procgen game, but a normal 3D map? Maybe if you're instantiating to get data then saving it to load back up.
reminder that using assets absolutely detracts from your game's quality"but this game uses assets and sold 1 bochillion copies" if you're in this for the money you have the wrong hobby
>>492233386*jobby
>>492233151I'm depressed.
>>492233281>Also, I recorded myself devving and it cause me to focus in way more then I have been recently. The recording is from a bad angle so I don't think I'll learn much from it, but I'll try again tomorrow and see what I look like while programming. I got the idea from watching videos about people talking about how to improve at lifting.
>>492233379>The toolIf your engine only has 1 tool, you might have chosen the wrong engine.
>>492233474You're probably bipolar. In another 2-3 weeks you'll be calling us chuds and telling us how you're the next Zun
>>492233379Oh you’re using poonity, yeah no I guess you don’t have access to AAA tools like procedural foliage which solved every problem you just complained about 10 years ago. Oh well!
>>492233386>this thing is bad>ignore all of these examples of me being wrong because I want to be right
>>492231795>degrees from history, literature, philosophy, etc.I think he meant useful degrees.
>>492233761I'm delusional.
>>492233105All the retards are using unity now.
>>492233603I recorded myself once, made me realize what an autistic sperg I was and why most people avoid me.
>>492233386I avoid using assets because it undermines my skills. When I showed my games to family and friends they didn't think much of it and don't see the hard work I've poured into coding, animating and other things behind the scenes, they only see the assets.
>>492234069no, everyone sounds dumb when recorded because of the "recording" voice
>>492233386I use sound assets because I'm not going to go buy an expensive mic and rustle some paper bags or bang some pans together to get sounds for my game.
boss make doller I make a dimethats why im devvinon company time
>>492232527I encountered some of those problems with one of my abandoned 3D projects.What I tried to do is use a grid to place things, which sucked because placing things like lines of objects was awkward and never seemed to work right because it would be on the wrong plane or I had to hold down weird key combos to do anything.When I come back to 3D, here's what I'll try:- Use another level design tool that can export map data, like Hammer(is Hammer 2 available yet? I would write an exporter for that shit if it's not already popping out OpenUSD in a heartbeat) or Trenchbroom. - Just write my own editor because nobody will use abstractions I'm comfortable with. Might not be able to do full-on brush-based stuff without years of effort, but can definitely make something that'll allow me to place prefabs how I want.I'm not familiar with Unity, but it can import OpenUSD, so you could probably use any sort of 3D editor to make maps, if not a dedicated map editor. >>492233603Is it really that weird? The Hawthorne Effect(your performance improves when you're being watched) is a known quality and people record other performance arts so they can analyze and improve their performance.Maybe programming isn't a performance art(drawing definitely is), but I theorize that seeing myself work is a good way to look at my challenges objectively.
>>492234238>normal non game devs didn’t appreciate the coding or mechanical nuance, they only cared about the assets and what it looked likeYou are so close to figuring it out, but you sadly never will. Shame
>>492234889idgaf whatever secret autistic realization you have. I'm better off not thinking like you.

Do your loot drops spark joy?
>>492235369passion doesnt matter when I can't compete with an entire AAA studio.
>>492233386Don't worry, every asset in my game will be custom made.
>>492235393What game?
>>492234238Why do you care what non-gamers think about your game? They're never going to buy and play it regardless. Your family and friends care way more about the number in your bank account.

>>492236215What game are you talking about?
>>492236215what the fuck are you talking about
>>492236063trying to be different just to be different is retarded autistic behavior
>>492235802because I have validation-seeking behavior especially from people close to me. Sucks but can't change that about me I've tried, gamedev is lonely.
>>492236321>>492236349This >>492235821 and half of the last thread.
>>492236368Game dev is indeed lonely I agree. It’s why I continue posting here>>492236520It’s a pretty well known meme here to call anything that looks good slop. Some retards probably take it seriously but, why argue with retards? Bad for your mental, just laugh and enjoy the bantz

>>492236215It's funny how the vast majority of actually great and highly successful indie games are enginedev games. Not every single one, but most of them by far. And then dumb retards go "making your own engine is a mistake, use [unity/godot/etc]!!!!!!!"Using a premade engine is the safe and mediocre choice. A man who starts on the path of mediocrity will only ever find himself arriving at mediocrity. Enginedev is the difficult but great choice. A man who starts on the path of greatness has a shot at arriving at greatness.
>>492237361It comes on quite heavy. You're overusing the crash. IMO, strip out an instrument and use softer percussions in the 0:00-0:16 and 0:44-1:08 sections. The roll and drop at 1:26-1:33 feels out of place. If you want to do that, IMO, use it leading into the section at 1:08, and use a breakdown going into 1:33.
>>492238157Most successful indie enginedevs also invested hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars into their game and had a sizable team.
>>492238086>>492238206thanks
should there be UI sounds for everything?like, everything?
>>492238157Name 35 enginedev games that were made by one person. Not by a team, not by two people, not by three people. One person. Singular.

>>492237425Ask Claude to teach you
>>492238349I'm a solodev who has invested nearly $300,000 into building an engine on top of the Godot framework

>>492238857>35Weird bar to set considering you can't name 35 commercial-engine indie games that had anywhere near the financial success of enginedev games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, etc.

Please help me I'm horrifically retarded, I'm following tutorials and I made a line trace interact function that works great on some objects but not this door. It goes right through. Other objects it registers a hit and I copy and pasted the door opening blueprints from the door into one of the other objects and it rotated like I was trying to get the door to do. There is something with the door that makes it not register line traces and I feel like if I just ignore this and work on other shit I'll have a horrible problem later somewhere. If anyone knows why the line trace wouldn't be registering on the door any guidance is like mana from heaven. Google has thus far not helped and I've spent 45 minutes digging through similar but not quite my problems.

Thinking about it, what is the 3D enginedev success ratio? Has anyone other than notch even done such a thing? 3D engindev may have the highest success ratio for indies
>>492244779it's probably very low, unless you only count released games, in which case it might be reasonable.But I think the vast majority of the time, the engine is never truly finished and it's essentially a toy for the programmer, no game emerges from the process
>>492244779>highestI think you mean the lowest. Anyone besides Notch? He has a spectacular understanding of lighting that none of the retards here do.
roughing out the Wands suit. Going for sort of an elemental aztec steampunk look but we'll see how many visual motifs I can echo as I clean these up
>>492244779if they actually make a game, yeah it would be higher. lots of engindevs burn out before they get to get to the game, and only 0.0001% finish the game if they get to that stage. but those that do, legendary.
>>492244918>unless you only count released games, in which case it might be reasonable.Ya, thats what I meant. I think if you actually force yourself through the hell that is 3D enginedeving to the point of having a releasable game you are guaranteed success (statistically speaking). Also beside minecraft I somehow forgot about The Witness as another example
>>492237361nice try but this is obviously some professional composer material that you're using to bait crabs into embarrassing themselves
who tf would be an engine dev? Spending countless hours figuring out low-level APIs just to make a cube rotate after one hundred lines of code. You niggers aren't terry davis, stop wasting time and go make games.

Sound design is so hard.All sound effects are random shit. People who come up with them are insane. Their perception is on another level.
>>492246239see? see? we music/sound people aren't useless
>>492246442Music people are useless. Sound design somehow always ends up getting delegated to a programmer because musicians are too retarded for adaptive audio, SFX, and spatial audio.
>>492245428I'm flattered

>>492247104People praise Undertale's music. No one praises its sound design. Even a game like SDV gets far more praise for the sound design.
>>492247459all of these look incredibly autistic
>>492248029>these look incredibly autistic>multi-year-long agdg gamesMy point exactly.
>>492247968>People praise Undertale's musicalmost as if music isn't useless
real niggas use ambiance with sound effects for atmospheric enrichment
>>492248224Anon was whining about sound design. Undertale has 101 tracks for a 7 hour long game, an extreme outlier.
>>492245428actually no, you can tell from the relatively unprocessed amen break which isn't cohesively mixed into the track.To my ears, it overwhelms the mix a bit and detracts from the impact, could use some EQ
>>492246649Thief/SS2 had sound design and music by Eric Brosius (among others), and he imbued many of the ambient sounds with a musicality that a random programmer probably wouldn't have achieved
>>492247459Damn, what the fuck. I feel demoralized look at these kino games.
>>492237361this sounds kino
>>492249548thanks
>>492248954Sounds like he was a skilled sound designer, and not a pure composer like 99%+ of indie "musician" hacks. Maybe that's why he could get a real job while most musicians wait tables.
Sound design is the literal last thing you should be worried about in a game and it's easy as shit anyways Just toss in some door creaking or sword clashing or whatever sounds from some free library and be done with it, literally no one will ever care SFX only really matters if you're making gachashit and need to hook people on the gambling experience
>>492250086>guy who doesn’t understand juice
>>492230509Sirs...
What are some AGDG games that have good sound design? People talk a lot about art and gameplay here, but sound seems to be pretty neglected
>>492250165Juice is 90% visual, so long as you actually have a sound effect no one will ever know or care that it's just Chest_Open_002 from some decade-old SFX library
>Sukuna died before I could finish my gameIt's so fucking over.
>>492240941How.MV crash when it exceed 10k pixels
>>492250401alright thanks for the spoiler
>>492250316I brought up the topic precisely because I'm shit at it.We have a few musicians, but I don't know about general sound design.
>>492247459That is sad to see, most of those have a reasonable amount of polish and appeal.LANDNAV looked cool, maybe failed because it's too novel, there's no existing market for land navigation simsNeural_Shock looked competently made, idk the tower defense genre well enough to understand why it would sell so poorly.Neoproxima really looked awesome, with professional art. Sad that it failed.Sift Heads Cartels desu looks like a mobile game, or something Silver Dollar Games would have made bank with back in 2014 or something.Konkwest doesn't look compelling and lacks professional art and appeal, understandable it didn't sell.
>>492247459how do i get on this level of polish instead of being an agdg turd polisher
>>492250086Good sound design can make a mid game feel good and a good game feel amazing. Obviously for small things like doors opening and background sounds it doesn't matter much but on big things like attacks it can upgrade that gamefeel
a lot of music concepts carry over to sound design. things like ADSR, basic sample manipulation, and a general understanding of waveform types is definitely to your advantage if you want to create your own sounds.
>>492244459If I recall correctly that door mesh doesn't have any collision by default.Go into the mesh asset and do Collision -> Add BoxIf it still doesn't work then the collision profile is set correctly on your blueprint
Got two new moves with the leiomano. A running slash and a lunge forward after a dodge. You can see me to the lunge when I dodge away from his grab.
>>492251205>idk the tower defense genre well enough to understand why it would sell so poorlyall tower defense sells poorly, it's a deader genre than shmups only people who even touch it these days are schoolkids playing Bloons and shit during class
>>492251958then check the collision profile is set correctly on your blueprint*
>>492247459All of these look mid to bad other than Neoproxima. Sad to see that one didn't get many reviews.
>>492251205I specifically picked out Konkwest because we have a grand strategy game dev that just made his steam page, but his looks way worse than Konkwest. No one cares about the visual appeal for this kind of genre though. It's all about whether the systems are interesting, fun, and replayable. Reading through the reviews, I suspect what happened is that there were numerous systems that the developer made that players chose simply not to engage with because simpler strategies were more meta.>The gameplay is quite simple, but the tutorial has 68 FRIKKIN PAGES! It should have like 10 pages maximum. Just tell me what does conquer/fortify and develop do and I am good to go.
>>492252050I thought you were dead like Dead Engine dev
>>492252401>No one cares about the visual appeal for this kind of genre though.pff
>>492252149Neoproxima suffers from the usual problem.>Price: $12.99>Average playtime: 3h
>>492252401I play grand strategy and I absolutely care about visuals
>>492252449If only. Nah I'm just always busy it feels. Lots of house work, looking after my grandmother, running a Pathfinder game. I still work on Moku here and there though.
>>492252401I will read all 68 pages. That game is good.
>>492252149>Neoproxima is a text-based adventure game that combines exploration and simple RPG and survival mechanics.Sounds fun, and by fun I mean not fun
>>492252931I especially love that game. I want to make a game like that. It's exactly what I want to play. The most fun of fun. There just needs to be more content.
>>492247459>LN with no waifubait>Getting lost in the forest simulator with a 10 minute long trailer>Top down horde defense but the trailer only shows enemies that do nothing but walk forwards>A literal Flash game. No seriously, I'm pretty sure I played this back in grade school on the library computer (And it was FREE)>Why the FUCK would you try to compete with HoI4 as an indie? It's a niche market as is and players of these games aren't exactly clamoring for indie alternativesOf those, only Neural Shock has some sort of potential. Very few reviews, sure, but it seems like most people bothered to play more than 10 hours which is a good sign. He could probably make sequels of that until he strikes gold.
hi agdg, how i make my rotating projectile rotate/face the direction it is rotating?
>>492251958Thank you, I did eventually figure that out. Seems a weird choice to not have collision by default on a door but hey, maybe now I'll remember to check.
that's nothing. yesterday i saw somebody on /v/ who did not recognize puzzle bobble.
>>492253298Get a vector pointing to the guy. Rotate projectile until top is pointing to that vector.
>>492253493So that's what that game is called. I couldn't remember for the life of me.
>>492251205>there's no existing market for land navigation simsKojimbo was supposed to save us from this problem..
>>492253669How can one man be so creative? I need to know.
>>492250417MZ doesn't crash. Instead it crops it which works great actually. since I can have the viewport extend just enough to give the depth that I totally didn't stop working on the edges of the map
>>492253201Some literal flash games can make it. That's probably not why it flopped.>West of Loathing>Gross revenue (base game): $2.8m ($1.4m - $4.2m)>Super Fancy Pants Adventure>Gross revenue: $397.1k ($198.5k - $595.6k)Neural Shock goes on my list of <$1/hr games that flopped.>Price: $5.99>Average playtime: 19.8hI guess tower defense is just that dead of a genre. It's interesting to note that 61.1% of purchases were from Finland. Their marketing was probably too narrow. This could still be a sleeper success, since it's only been out for 2 months.
>>492253298find the vector between last frame's location and this frame's location, then align the projectile along that vector
>>492253669Too bad kojimbo failed because he turned it into a shittier stealth action game than metal gear and then he wanted to make it about co-oping with players to build stuff and DS became a bad version of all of those
>>492252524Interesting, I didn't consider that.Do you think higher playtime is enough to boost a game from a 30 review flop to a few hundred (or more)?Are there good theories on why high playtime would be important, or if there's a cutoff point where it stops mattering?
>>492253201>Why the FUCK would you try to compete with HoI4 as an indie? It's a niche market as is and players of these games aren't exactly clamoring for indie alternativesLiterally everyone playing paradox games is begging for alternatives. They proceed to never play or talk about said alternative, but they are in theory looking for other companies to break their monopoly on selling infinity dlcs. I think the issue indie devs will run into with these kind of game is they by their nature have a steep initial learning curve which is hard to players to commit to struggling through just to see if the game is actually fun or not. No idea how you fix that
4 hours of playtime or less for a linear story-based game means it's short enough that anyone under 30 will just watch a streamer/youtuber play it instead of buying and playing it themselves. If you want to make a story-focused game for the modern market it needs either fun gameplay, meaningful choices, or to be 15 hours long.
>>492247459LANDNAV isn't even finished apparently, seems it was supposed to be EA but there were issues. There's only one map right now and they've said there's supposed to be a big content update in August but it's the 28th...
>>492247459>text based space rpg>Hunter: Call of the Wild without the hunting>tower defense for people with really really good eyesight>flash game>map clicking autism
>>492254339Just DMCA the longplays
>>492254339You contradict yourself in your own post. If a streamer/youtuber is under 30 they play the game because it's a good short game. Besides, there's games that are worth playing rather than watching. You wouldn't get it unless you liked video games. Playing is more than watching. It's why video games =/= movies. Death Stranding feels like a trek because it is one. It's not watching a movie of a guy making a trek, you make the trek yourself.
>>492252524Konkwest seems to counter the hour dollar/hour ratio theory. The one review with 725 hours alone almost you passed the dollar threasholdWhat now agdg?
>>492254261>Literally everyone playing paradox games is begging for alternativesI've never seen this once. Even when the game is shit, the common complaint is "Paradox please fix Vicky 3's shit war mechanics" not "someone please make an indie alternative to Vicky 3". I hardly see complaints about DLC costs at all, most 4X/GS autists have money to burn because they don't play any other games, and EU4 has a $5 a month all-DLC subscription that's been pretty popular. They'd have to really, SEVERELY fuck up EU5 for anyone to be interested in switching from an established and generally good AAA game to some janky unknown indie shit with awful graphics
I've been giving raylib a spin and it's alright but at every turn it gives me the finger. I thought it would be a little bit more flexible than it is but there are a lot of weird design decisions
>>492254082Average playtime is an amalgamation of several factors like player retention rate and total quantity of quality content. Ultimately, players are consumers and do care for the value of a product. High playtime = high organic visibility = a game that sells itself.
A dollar per hour of playtime SIMPLE AS
>>492254506>there's games that are worth playing rather than watchingyes, those are games with either fun gameplay or meaningful choices, maybe read posts before replying to them you retard
>>492254769What more do you need than to be able to draw a thing on the screen and interact through controls? Camera works well too.
>>492253298angle = atan2(linear_velocity_y, linear_velocity_x)
>>492254854Bevyrraria looking as kino as ever.
>>492254261i've been toying about the idea, after im done with my current project, of a stellaris clone set in a post ww2 world where admiral byrd leads an expedition to antartica you leave the earth to explore the flat earth.the game map will be procedurally generated like stellaris and its just stellaris with cold war naval ships and planes.
>>492255027stealing this
>>492229680I thought this said ADHG and almost pulled my cock out in excitement
>>492255027I want to make a ship-like too. It would be an orb-like where you find things to augment your ships.
>>492255089there could be a race of grey aliens, a race of "ascended" energy beings, etc. basically look into ufo literature and crap.
>>492242190very nice
Stellaris but with a better tech tree.
STOP MAKING BOAT GAMES!!!!
today's progress, i forgot godot didn't had autosave and it crashed, lost an hour of putting cubes together. i hope to make it playable by the weekend
>>492255330but it's required for my future fishing game...
>>492255027What's the difference between the Abyssal Ocean and a regular ocean? Is there a sun out there beyond the ice wall?
>>492255401>i hope to make it playable by the weekendfor who?
>>492255470the abyssal ocean is where cthulu and many lovecraftian elder gods dwell.
>>492255431YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE A FISHING GAME!!!!! STOP!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!!
>>492255330Boat game is very much on my bucket list. Consider the following: city builder, but it's a big ass boat. Doesn't it sound fun?
>>492255725Taking this.
>>492255725>Doesn't it sound fun?only if you have to defend the boat city from kaijus from time to time
>>492255725sounds difficultyou should do it if youre capableotherwise dont bother
>>492255725you can do this one that's fine
>>492255725Isn't this the series with tanks?
>>492255725I also may also look into making a Raft-like set in a "Suisei no Gargantia" world. (In the future, after I release my current project.)Raft is such a god awful buggy, unpolished game, but it has no competitors.>Gross revenue: $154.2m ($77.1m - $231.3m)
>>492254849The process is as follows:>oh cool I can DrawRectangle with a custom fragment shader>oh but UV's are fucked and the default texture is weird>yeah w/e I can DrawTexture instead but i'd prefer to not have to create a texture when one really isn't needed...>ok i can use rlgl, perfect. vec3, use the last component for arbitrary payload>rlNormal normalizes the input as some kind of weird noob failsafe so it's useless for that purpose>rlColor converts to bytes for storage in some internal intermediate state so you're limited to what you can repurpose the alpha channel for>enter the mesh api>now you don't get the batching..at that point I can just write plain ol' gl instead...
>>492255851City builder isn't that difficult, and putting it on a boat is just cosmetic Main issue is creating interesting enough mechanics to convince anyone to play it, traffic autists already have Skylines and production chain chads have Anno
>>492255330I want to make a naval combat RPG at some point.
>>492255675you'll like my fishing game I promise
>>492256042How to make interesting naval combat mechanics for an RPG?
>>492256001thats retardedI thought you meant actually building up parts of a giant cargo ship like your picrel, not just a reskindont bother
>>492255725this is a great idea anon! really genius you should totally make it :)
>>492255837If you take your city boat beyond the ice wall out into the abyssal ocean you may have to
>>492255851Hey man, that's why it's in my bucket list. Alongside 2 other city builder ideas. They're very much a "one day, if I may" more than "I'm gonna make it NOW".>>492255904One and only. It also has these giant floating cities shaped like WW2 carriers for absolutely no reason and they fascinate me.
>>492255725it sounds like i'll get to build with blocks that snap to a grid while simultaneously being eyeraped by shapes I can never have
I stopped cooming every day and just do it once a week but I still feel like a piece of shit afterwards
>>492256119I have a few ideas, but it will have to wait because I have another project I want to do first.
>>492239621kek
>>492256128Hey, that's not me. I'm autistic enough that I'd make it where you have to build the whole thing in layers and blocks. Throw some factory autism into it too. Ahhhhhhhhh I love ideasguying I'M THIIIIIINKEEEEEEEEN
Personally? I don't get the appeal of city builders. There's no goals. Just upgrading on a set road you can already see.
Man I just tried to record some test footage with Godot's movie maker mode and the resulting video comes out so much darker and higher contrast than the actual game, wtf is there some weird color space shenanigans happening that I'm not aware of
>>492239621I'm working on SDF circle 2 right now!
>>492256479You gotta have vision. My autism is transport and public transit more than city building, but you can't have public transit without people to feed into it. So to me it's a game of getting to as big of a population as possible without american tier traffic.
>>492256375being an ideas guy apparently puts you above 95% of agdgI used to think no one likes an ideas guy but these days every thread has someone asking for ideasthe competition has never been more retarded
>No game where you manage the entire traffic of an entire country like AmericaGame dev was meant for dreaming.
>>492256621I dunno, ideasguying used to be a lot more common and the ideas used to be pretty mundane or too outlandish. I like to believe my ideas are (Or will be) well within my scope as a solo. There are some that absolutely aren't but I don't talk about them.
you can spot a European because they'll see one picture of the LA interstate at rush hour and think "damn, every American lives like that"
thanks to all the orbit tips, i did this >>492253914 and it just worked. just had to flip the sprite horizontally
>>492256580>darker and higher contrastThat sounds like a different tonemap. Maybe it's using Filmic? Do you not have a WorldEnviornment?
>>492256621Ideas are useless and people that don't have ideas of their own aren't people, they're just lesser. If you're an "ideas guy", you're useless. If you *need* an ideas guy, you're not even worth describing. The time it takes to find a word for that isn't worth the effort. Dirt has a purpose, vacuum has multiple useful applications, parasites are also food.
>>492256812>ideasguying used to be a lot more common and the ideas used to be pretty mundane or too outlandishI know, thats what Im sayingnow we have people who cant even come up with ideas because the internet is full of brown third worlders who think this is another way to escape their slum
>>492256945I do have one, I'm using ACES and it looks fine in editor and in game, just the recording is weird
Nodev ideaguys are hated because your ideas always come out some variety of retarded. All good ideas come from yesdevs who understand systems, tooling, limitations, and feasibility.
>>492256621Idea guying is like writing. Everybody thinks they're good at it because everyone can write/come up with an idea, but actually good writing/ideas is way harder and way rarer than everyone thinks.
>>492229680>day 600>tunneling still occurs in godo>no way to increase tick speed for physicsdefend this godotsisters because I can no longer

>>492257168
>>492256996>the internet is full of brown third worlders who think this is another way to escape their slumI'd know a thing or two about that. The appeal is there, people think making games is easier than it is and way underestimate how hard it is to gain success on Steam. A 1000 review, $10 game would literally make you a millionaire here so people look at it and think "I should do that". Great when you have folks like the Sukeban Games guys, terrible when you have Cr*s.

>>492258239Deez nuts
"move and slide" sounds so fucking gay, like something you'd say to kindergartners why is godot so infantilizing
I now better understand Jon Blow's hatred of engines. I used move_and_slide in order to quickly prototype, but now that I've expanded into a full game I'm too afraid to change move_and_slide out of fear it might break something. I should have just invested in a solid solution from the very beginning.
>>492258246Yes doing multiple collision checks per frame is a good practice, just make sure you update your delta appropriately

GOOD EVENING AGGY DAGGERS
thanks google, I needed to hear that
>>492263035>2k reviews in 7 daysJesus. Looks like they built up a fanbase from all their previous games tho
>>492263035that's not synty
>>492263932what is synty
>>492263035Tom Francis is popular. 90k followers on xitter, and his previous games were both big hits. I've had breach wizards on my wishlist for years
>>492254854very comfy lighting
>>492264045low poly asset maker, the models are popular among young game devs shitting out stuff onto steam. every day 30 games with synty assets hit steam. they have no textures just color. which is a smart/cheap way to make an indie artstyle. but it's associated with slop now. so being similar, breach wizards is called synty by retards now and again.
untextured low-poly will always look shit not a single actual old console game did it except Starfox and that shit had like 8 polygons total
we love vertex colors here mate
>50 new games are released on steam every day>you release your game it gets buried by 1,500 other games in 1 monththere's no money in this, its just a hobby. I accepted that and am happier for it.

>>492264863there are like a dozen arcade games that use untextured polygons from the brief period before people figured out how to put textures onto arcade roms and they're all forgotten garbage for a reason

>>492265548I went to the world's biggest science fiction convention. Mostly writers, lots of hobbyists, all sorts of people who could absolutely use AI and are all about progressiveness and all this future tech stuff.So, yeah. No AI companies sponsored it, there was no AI shilling, there were a few panels but then there were a thousand things going on and many weirdly niche topics had just as many panels.That's all AI was, a niche curiosity that isn't used but is maybe talked about. The only people that care about it are investors and tech news outlets.
>>492265825Damn that sounds fun.
>>492265757I wasn't posing an argument, just reminded of the game because of the zaxxon screenshot.
>>492247031By default, Unreal has two colliders on meshes, a simple one and a complex one. Your door is probably missing a simple collider. Actually it looks like you're using the door from unreal default assets, that one specifically doesn't have a simple collider: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/setting-up-collisions-with-static-meshes-in-unreal-engine>>492253950If you didn't use the dropkick you didn't play the game right.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASo much inspiration. I have to succeed, I cannot fail at gamedev. I must get rich so I can realize my grandest of ideas. I must make those games a reality but to do that I must first make other games to make me rich enough to get them within my grasp!

I managed to reduce the time spent in the initial SDF pass for the lighting part of my game by around 17.5x. It runs so much better now. Implementing this has been such a pain point.

>>492268723Awesome. Next pain point, fluid sim?
>>492230829Who is more memorable?
I used to consult on mobile gamedev, anyone have questions about optimization especially on mobile?This was an interesting case where the game was running around 25fps even though the number of characters onscreen was relatively small (<50). Notice how we're dropping/skipping frames even though the render pipeline isn't very full. Turns out my client was calculating their physics and animations on the GPU with models that were probably much larger than they needed. On PC this probably wouldn't be an issue but mobile SoCs have different performance bottlenecks, especially with memory, and trying to get tricky can bite your ass. Unfortunately I never found out exactly what they were doing because the lead programmer got butthurt and wouldn't let me look at their animation code.
>IT'S MUSIC BUT IT'S FROM HECKIN JAPAN, THE COUNTRY WHERE ALL MY FAVORITE JAPANESE CARTOONS COME FROM!!!!! SUGOI ARIGATO BANZAI NAMCO !!!
>>492269663based, but unfortunately mobile devs ready to optimize their game would be a vanishingly small minority 'round these parts

do people actually want more threads? or is it just shitpostingthis one seems good enough

>>492269663"premature optimization is bad"so I've left optimizing to the end, post release. hahaha
>>492268723what is this game like? i think i've seen you posting it in these threads before. is it like terraria? i've been itching for something similar to it and just something that looks just as fun. looks cool either way.

I need to make money.

>>492269973i know agdg is just afraid hgdg will make better games
the reason i don't play vidya anymore is because there's nothing really new/exciting released anymore.when i was a kid i played driver on psx and it was the first open world experience. i played fifa and it was the first sports game. i played command and conquer and it was the first rts/building experience. i played settlers because it was the first colony sim. i played digimon world 3 because it was the first open world fantasy rpg. then on pc mmorpgs and competitive shooters around 2005. then minecraft the first full sandbox experience.every time i got excited it was because something was a new experience.but when i look at the market right now, nothing seems like a new experience. just altered versions of what exists already. and always it's actually a worse version of what exists already.i do not care about quality, i do not care about content, art style, genre or whatever. i care about something being new and exciting. something that hasn't been possible before.i've noticed the same with music. people just copy rock standards, trap beats, 80s beats, 90s beats, edm shit. everything is just a copy now. nobody revolutionizes anything anymore.
>>492270459make games, monetizePlayers engage, profits growIndie dev success
>>492270937and do you revolutionize anything? are you making the game you want to see change the world? or are you just here to blabber about things we want to see change?

>>492271041No one here should gloat over Marmoreal. No one here has progressposted a much more appealing game. In fact almost all are less appealing, with the exception of the car battle guy and the Expanselike dev guy.

>>492270937There is a limited number of appealing interesting things that can be turned into a game. As the medium matures, it's harder to be a pioneer. How many truly innovative movies and books are coming out?Sometimes you're late and all the opportunities are gone.

>>492269867>a vanishingly small minority 'round these partsProbably more than you think, and smaller PC form factors (where most of /agdg/'s games probably have the best fit) the same constraints as mobile devices. The steamdeck's AMD GPU has memory bandwidth roughly about that of a mobile GPU while a discrete nvidia gpu has 10x more. Maybe some will find it relevant.>>492269882>the amateur gacha dev thread is two posts down.ah, yes, the one with anons showing off their new cars, big apartments, and hot girlfriends
>>492271352>How many truly innovative movies and books are coming out?Some every year. Avatar, Inside Out 2, and Dune 2. Even in books, there's Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, God of the Woods, and The Ministry of Time.

>>492271520I don't like those pillars.the rest however is extremely cozy, winner artstyle. very mushishi.
>>492269663How do high quality games like Genshin Impact and Fortnite run so well?
I've come down a fork in the woods and both choices can screw me over hard.>option 1:Follow the plan and reveal my game to potentially thousands of people. The game is just about in the right state. This will help marketing wise. Time is far too short to do all that I want, so some corners will need to be cut.>option 2:Pass on this opportunity.Now you might say option 1 is the best choice but there is one problem. The moment I reveal my game, the idea behind what it can be, is the point where it becomes a race against time for me. With so many gamedevs nowadays, there's bound to be some gamedevs watching l, some potentially looking to clone promising ideas to beat to market on. That right there is a large worry. Although the game is barely reaching the state of being easy to market, release state quality is likely over a year away. That's enough time for a cloner team to copy my game and surpass me.As much as I'd like to show off my game for marketing, it feels like a bad idea. One where the wrong group seeing it could spell the end of my game's potential success.
>>492271764You are racing against no one, moron. Stop making up imaginary enemies in your mind. No one is going to steal your game idea.
>>492271334I'm sure you can find the last "hoopoo version of RoR2" and download it. the game wasn't stolen from you if you prefer an earlier patch, lol. (it may have been stolen for console plebs tho)

People will copy it because the only people who are watching devlogs are other devs. Only share generic games nobody is gonna imitate like the billionth iteration of Zelda or snowboarding or whatever.there's a lot of games that pioneered a genre like Dota, Worms, MarioKart, Rogue, Rhythm heaven to name some. If you got something like that, keep it to yourself.

>>492273248This is just a tracked bike, which is cool but the double tracks is pointless just like how quad tracks are on tanks.
>>492273321Yes, gearbox made the console port of ror2 which was a complete mess but people don't really care about console so whatever.But with the new dlc they decided it would be perfect to "unify" the console and pc versions so to say, essentially they downgraded the pc version to be as shit as the console version instead of fixing the shit console version like any sane person thought they meant.

I kneel for aid again with a problem google can't solve or I can't google well enough to find an answer for. I set this up using tutorials to throw a physics object that I'm holding, it works great but if you continue holding the throw button it will just continue adding force until the object either leaves the stratosphere or smacks into something. It might be a dumb question but I'm a dumb person so what would you guys do to stop applying force once its got the base amount I wanted and out of reach? I don't know what to use. I've tried a few retarded ideas I had and none worked.
>>492274053multiplayer
>>492271736>How do high quality games like Genshin Impact and Fortnite run so well?A few things:1. Lower the resolution- this is the simplest way to get performance on a mobile device. There's no reason to render at native (device) resolution, I think even Fortnite's "epic" resolution on mobile is 1400x720 or so. 2. pay close attention to device specs and upscale/degrade your game as necessary. Shadows are a classic example of a feature that is fine on some devices and a frame-rate killer on others.3. Optimize your textures! Texture resolution and size is something that is less important on PC but makes a big difference on mobile because of memory bandwidth. And this can be hard to find, I worked with some former-AAA PC devs making their first mobile game and I pointed out that their skybox texture was 100MB. 4. Only use as many polys as needed, and no more. Most people go WAY OVERBOARD on the number of polys in their model. Even basic optimization that any 3D modeler can do can make a big difference and a lot of devs don't do it at all. If your unit is only 5mm large on screen, you don't need 3000 polys for it.Genshin Impact and Fortnite aren't doing anything technically unique (they're just using the same engines as anyone else) but they're just really good at all of these things.
>>492274310Set grabbing object to false.
>>492271764Developers reveal their games years in advance because they know no one is looking to steal their idea. And they don't.All the obvious good ideas have been turned into reality already. The non-obvious ones need to prove themselves before they get copied.But marketing is overrated too. What you gain in early wishlists/followers you'll lose in momentum later so it probably doesn't matter what you do either way.

>>492276224>my amazingly creative game idea is an ultra-realistic first person shooter>noooo it's been ripped off!
Is framerate independence a bad idea in general for games that are focused on skills?> muh csgo/valorantThey run on a fixed framerate internally, and inserts duplicate frames for different refresh rates.Even if we consider discrete framerate options, like 60/120/144 using a fixed timestep, the designer tuned/balanced the game around 60fps, and switching to 120 (smoother experience) might affect the gameplay experience.Final question, why doesn't competitive shooters lock your display framerate to say 60 fps? A guy playing on a 144Hz display has a massive advantage over a guy playing on a 60fps display.
>>492277319>Is framerate independence a bad idea in general for games that are focused on skills?why would it be? you decouple your game loop from rendering

>>492278208The angle is a Vector2 global_position.direction_to(get_global_mouse_position())So rotating that vector by 90 degrees (PI/2) and adding it to the position makes the projectile move in a wave perpendicular to the player.If the vector wasn't rotated, it would just move away from the player and then back a little bit, then further away. Depending on the projectile speed of course.
>>492278452you add the sine to your current position, and since the bullet always moves forward, you can just use its movement for graph progression
>>492278579>>492278610huh... i see... (i dont get it)

>>492278518>bright orange, bright purple, bright bluesunsets
>>492278518Bright orange foods are high in many vitamins and minerals. Same of blue/purple in the case of some fruits. That said there's also Aposematism in animals so maybe it sets off the part of your brain going "PAY ATTENTION" somehow. There's also the possibility that it could be conditioning, for years and years anyone who played WoW and many that used the same color schemes see blues, purples and oranges as better than usual drops.

>>492277202Comparing Jerry Seinfeld to Helldivers. Sad. Very Sad. Low IQ Take.
>>492272825Just feels bad not being able to get free advertising. I could advertise it without showcasing the updates. A small modest amount of interest and likely no devs seriously considering it. Wheras showcasing it with updated stuff is likely to draw a large crowd along with devs looking for an easy clone
>>492278706I feel the same. I basically want a demo, and a reveal video, before I post too much here. Hopefully I can reveal my game at some event in the genre I'm making it in. Reveal there, launch on steam shortly after.

Post game to prove me wrong (you have no game)
>>492280509You never made castles with lego?
>write a big todo list of shit I have to do for tomorrow>wake up all excited to work on it>look at the todo list>i dont want to do any of thiswelp guess its a goon haze sorta day
>>492280992>write a todo list your worst mistake
i've been on hiatus for 8 months.can AI finally make game assets?i'm just waiting for this i'm not an artist.
>>492278998bevychads we're so bevack
>buildings generate resources on their own at a predetermined tick rate (ex: +10 gold every 5 seconds)>workers must path to a resource node, display a working animation, then return to a designated drop-off building to redeem (ex: $10 google gift card after chopping a tree and carrying it back to town center)>workers must path to a resource and then generate resources so long as their working animation is playing (ex +10 wood per minute for each worker chopping the tree)How do you prefer to gather your resources, anons? I think Im going with option 1 for the simplicity and because outside of a medieval setting it's strange to see men chopping trees to fuel an advanced war machine
>>492281184Start drawing assets on your own, they will look shit at first, practice sketching and your game will have its own identity.
>>492281540>"Joining the military and dying to protect women of your race is the highest calling."Fuck off, Heinlein
>>492281184It's not quite there. placeholder assets though, or jank style, sure. 3d AI has made big jumps recently.
>>492280898Well, as far as I know there aren't even any games in my genre that will even attempt what I'm doing. Now you used a key word here called "noteworthy", I'm not sure what you consider noteworthy. I'll find some event to shill my game when the time comes.Here's a partial shot of the inventory, I cut off the bottom, had some items that would potentially spoil the game I'm making. Also the boxes are out of place, this is just a concept. Haven't actually imported this and made it perfect yet. But it shows I have something in the works.
>>492281184stuff like anime faces or generic backgrounds that look distictively ai? suretextures, 3d models or good art? fuck no
i just remembered that i wanted to make an rts-lite
>>492281540>engineer and naval officer>writes sci-fi works about...engineering and armiesSounds like he specialized quite a bit himself. I am more of a follower of Hippocrates. Ars longa, vita brevis.
>>492282136Sounds cool Anon. I hope you will be able to finish it and pioneer a new genre.
>Array is actually a real word from 1200 that means soldiers in orderinteresting
>>492282417Thanks anon. So far whenever I drop a pic or describe my game people are always excited and supportive. I'm just chugging away adding in the necessities. I'm on the cusp of finally adding some fun features, but still a few months off at least.
>>492282136Oh you’re the 2d geometric orblike guy who always talks about being a MENSA member lmao
>>492282627Sounds great where’s the gameplay?
>>492282634False. I'm also not sure entirely what an orblike is.
>>492278998It's insane to me how people can be so hyped about a "cozy" very limited building game like this and say shit like picrel.Like what kind of creative energy are you fucking talking about bitch IT'S ALL THE SAME TINY CASTLE/VILLAGE SHIT IT'S THE SAME FUCKING ARCHITECTURE EVERY TIME
>>492282734The gameplay worth showing isn't in yet. Right now I just have basic movement. Once it's in, I'll make a release video. Find some event to show it at. Make a steam page.
>>492282801the major mass of consumers do not want a challenge they want soma
>>492282801>tfw you have so little creative energy that it all gets released by clicking the “make window” button inside of your cookie cutter castle builder gameThat’s genuinely grim. NPCs are real
>>492282930Lmao

>>492283207Timmy gives out free assets every month. By this point I have so many its a struggle to actually navigate them.
>>492283207you know we can make assets for you for free... if we get to join your project...
hot or inappropriate?

>>492284116Cum Stain
>>492283943I’m jealous of your non existent game and your delusions of grandeur? I think no but please keep coping, I’ve gotten some good laughs out of the new lolcow already
>>492284116At art, yeah, above the average pro. but all my other gamedev skills are average or below.
It's a super comfy magical snowy village where everything seems magic sugar plums and gumdrops, that's perfect to contrast with and foment a devious cult, the theming works here and will suck the unwitting player into a frightful forecast.
>>492284116Statistically, no. I'm "Well Below Average" in fact.
>>492284090lvl1 toaster aiming for lvl10,000 adamantium goddess
>>492284945Same...
>>492283107This bodes extremely well for me & my game
Actually there are three different cults.
>>492283832that was the point of the asset jam?
Four I guess including not Christianity.
if you have an opportunity to submit your game to those random steam fests, do it. it's free marketing.
I haven't gone all out in a long time. can I still do it? hold my bevy
>>492285858i do not have the opportunity to do that
A game, but it looks like this.
>>492285858Aren't you only able to go to one per game?You just wasted your opportunity to multiply your wishlists.
>>492283431>Timmywho/what's this?
>>492285389I have some basic plant growing mechanics in my game, each with different days to sprout etc, now I'm wondering if I should make anything you plant just sprout immediately with fun little animations and balance the resources again.
>>492286043Tried looking for something similar for 1 year. couldn't find anything. Good luck to you.
>>492286123that's for nextfest, this is just a random genre themed fest. you can only do nextfest once, and that's the one that matters most.
>>492282801Not to make it political but it's like the "Joy" thing. This is people on SSRIs, they aren't parsing their feelings correctly and they can't be trusted about what's interesting to unmedicated people.
>rework system>it works>delete a gorillion lines of old code

>>492286993Same!
>>492283431>>492286198
>>492264506You guys say this shit like every game that fails doesn't obviously have massive flaws
>>492286204Depends on whether or not the waiting time matters for gameplay. If the wait is completely arbitrary, then they might as well just sprout. If the game is about caring for or protecting the plants and the meat of the game is in the micromanagement of watering them etc then yeah keep the growth time.>t. I don't garden
>>492284116Yes!
>>492287223Didn't the hypothetical Timmy ended up shooting this guy irl when he harassed his gf in public
This shit cost $25 in 1980Try to tell me boomers didn't have it easy
>>492287298Everybody's game here has massive flaws. Yours would to if you had a game, which you don't.
>>492287581that's a big "tail" on that gobo
AI is a scam
>>492284116This'll be a great rant coming from a guy who was on a team that made a great game 30 years ago and never since.
>>492287581someone make aggychan liek this
>>492287583very harsh, that was uncalled for
Uh, gamedev kinda sucks.
>spends 5 years in the military and 5 years learning game development skills before working on his passion military game project >wants to be the only thing he'll work on for his whole life Certified 100% finnish autism. This is what a real "passion"/"dream game" project looks like, not those posers on youtube making hollow knight clones in 2 years or shit.
>>492287704The last game he made in 2019 was his most successful. Over 200M in revenue, multi-award winning.
>>492287583I've been living on game money for a decade, but it was a fair shot at a cold read on your part given the level of discourse I'm seeing in here
>>49226450649.9 of those games are Marmorealesque
>>492287684its a gnoglin, and yes they have tails in my universe (because im a unique and original individual)
>>492287524Yes the black died and the White guy got off without any jail time lmfao
>>492264789I think it's difficult to understand.
>>492287863Lol my bad, I legit confused him with the Duke Nukem guy
>>492287836This too, but with different results.
>>492287964where's the goblin girls at?
>>492288040bigger hit than 99% of aggyshit
>>492288040I genuinely hate that heinous color palette
>>492287968Ok so you’re just openly racist then?
>>492288117That's not a high bar to clear, but she's been working on that game for more than 10 years.
>>492287754Isn't there already a model of her
>>492264789I think AI is like a siren song that will lure you down a path that leads to mediocre results as well as not having a skill base to build on to produce better work
>>492288208there is?
>>492288209It's just a tool. People over complicate everything.
>>492288362I'm speaking as an expert in at least one domain, which is art. I've also actually used AI quite a bit, unlike most artists. So that's not news to me.
>>492288362>it's just a tooljust like you
>>492287359they were meant as a set and forget while you adventure away from your hub, then you come back days later and harvest then make potions etc.
>>492288102there's no goblin girls, they use elf girls for that
>>492233105how's your country u ukrainian shithead? juan still lives rent free in your head? don't give up, i bet someone will pity you on unity discord server
>>492288489I'm disappointed but accept your concession.
>>492288306Squaredev made one they even use her head for the AGDG soccer team
>>492288439Your IQ is low.
>>492288741ugh... fine i will model a female goblin
>>492288747wait and it's low poly like that >>492287581 ?why isn't there an agdg game with her already??
>>492288797thank you!
>>492288897Dunno. I think most devs are busy working on their own projects to work on AGDG-related projects.
didn't Marmoflop teach you gays anything?
>>492287863you mean the game his subordinates made
>>492288432Ya, and I somewhat agree with you. It's all about the use case and your own abilities. If someone wants to get great at making art then they should do it the traditional way. But many people don't care about getting good at art, and have situations where AI art far surpasses their needs. But similar to the Siren song it often lures people in with false promises. It's not easy for most situations. It's not user friendly. It takes time and effort. And the skills you build might all be erased in the next update that changes everything.
>>492289268hire good marketing people. Don't just post on reddit. Hell, bokube doing a ny square ad was kinda cool. Doing that and then sharing it on reddit would probably get more visibility than "hey guys I made a game with no notable hook".
Just bought Marmoreal because I noticed it has titty jiggle.
>>492289464There have been like 10 absurdly cunty and stupid posts made here today. I wonder if it's the same anon.
>>492289464Yes, and that goes for every gamedev who's not working solo.
>>492287578imagine trying to code that in 1980 with 1980s knowledgeI wouldn't even know where to begin
>>492289268I'm not gay so I learned nothing from it.
>>492289686it's ok newfag you'll settle in soon don't worry
>>492289863Fuck off retard.
When will AI be able to do stuff in different styles and not just the one "style" it currently has? Got to say though it seems really useful if you have a vague idea and want a quick half bake idea of what it could look like.
>>492289926relax newfag
>>492289941It already does. It doesn't just have one style. Just download stable diffusion and use it. Add the style you want it to make in the description.
>>492289941??
>>492290036Imagine being an old fag in a gavedev thread. Are you proud that you're a long term failure?
>want to be special and not use any of the mainstream game engines>try to make my own engine but find out i'm not cut out for it>almost start using source but realize i do NOT want to be clumped together with the absolute fucking jank that is non-valve source games>also just don't want anything to do with valve/source fans in general>find godot, a fledgling open source game engine project>start using godot, it's just endless pain and i barely get anything done and most time is spent figuring out the engine but it satisfies my autism>godot becomes popular, FUCK>start looking for other engines>find an obscure open source game engine called Stride that's basically like unity except the code interfaces are completely half-baked, nonsensical and complete AIDS to use>perfect>goddamnit, the editor doesn't run on linux>pick the obvious path and start trying to single handedly make this obscure game engine editor work on linuxI sure love game development, it is my passion! I'm sure I'll eventually manage to make this thing work and then I'll DEFINITELY and FINALLY work on my fucking game projects.
>>492290463if you don't like it here you can go back newfag
Maybe I'm not totally retarded and uselessjumping finally works in my jump clone, now I just add some mechanics, build a level and (fuck i forgot about sfx and music) anyhow should be a simple game to ship.
>>492290463>I know, I'll come into an established community and shit on the rug, haharelax
>>492289757Are you going to release your models for people to make porn with them? Kek
>>492290536sound like you should have just sticked to enginedevvin
So in my game you'll be able to talk to NPCs and fight random turn based rpg battles. How do I make 72 different quests that challenge the player all in different ways from those?
>>492291139just make 72 "get x wolf pelts" quests.
>>492291139It starts with one
>>4922911391. NPC thinks you cant beat this beast without using and items2. NPC is cursed to be naked and if you use armor in this quest you will take constant damageetc.
>>492290563Ok loser.>>492290791Oh is that what happened faggot? Why don't you be fucking honest instead of being a little bitch. Fuck you. I wish I could find a place where people were on my level.
>>492290536nothing you described was game development
>>492291139You can do the Ubislop approach where you quantify every factor in a battle, whether it makes the battle harder or easier, then make a spreadsheet of all the different possible assemblies of those, and then make those encountersOr you can do the soul approach and wing it by raw feel and intuitionProbably succeed or fail either way
>>492291518kek RELAXELAXkiddo
>>492291518here's your (You) now fuck off
>>492290536Just use Unity, asshole. What the fuck is the matter with you people. If you're a capable dev with someone supporting you, make your own engine. If you are more on the idea guy side and driven by a passion for ideas and gameplay, just fucking use a simple engine. Insanity.
>>492290536I remember going through your phase 15 years ago, I wanted to use only tech that was for edgelords and I had to tell everyone about it too. Stop wasting time and learn to build things.
>>492264789hasn't produced any good gamesencourages devs to cut corners, get lazy and never learn new skillsits inconsistency makes it a very poor choice for fields like game development where the technical aspects of the art are far more important than the quality of the art.it's useful for scams and spam.it's astroturfed to hell and back because there's huge investment money but somehow, with every day since AI became a big thing, it becomes less and less scary to artfags.
>>492291139"random" and "72 different quests" don't feel like they go togetheryou either have carefully crafted puzzles that showcases 72 different mechanics, or you have a roguelike.
Wasting 5-10 years of your life trying to make an engine is oddly common. Considering Godot will not take any of your money and is as accessible off-the-shelf as Unity, requiring near zero setup, you'd have to be out of your mind as a kid to waste that time the same way millenial devs did.
>>492292259Idk what you mean by hasn't produced any good games. I'm sure it's been in plenty of games now that steam allows it.
>>492292471but my idea is every pixel is an emotion
>>492290536>want to build a house>start building it up brick by brick>realize your neighbour also has a brick house>FUCK>tear it all down>start making house out of bamboo>realize nobody sells bamboo here>ultimately, have no house
>>492292471Don't care, still doing it.
>>492292728Good luck. It seems to work well for the people it works well for. It wastes a lot of time for everyone else.
>>492292495>I'm sure it's been in plenty of games now that steam allows it.yeah? let's see where these 'good' games are then. What're you gonna say, "Wishlist My Femboy Roommate on steam"?
>>492292838>people it works well forname 3
>>492292986If you're expecting an entire game to be made with AI I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of 99.9% of use cases for AI art. But ya, sure, I'm not aware of a "good" game to use it. But I'd be shocked if there's not a chair or something in some game made with AI.
fuck it link me the best ai available tool to make assets i'll try myself
I like visual studio
>>492293189I most commonly see it used for posters in cheap trashy horror games and I hear some people using it for 3D prop textureswhatever the use case, it's used for "things that nobody should be looking at anyway"
>>492284945>>492285160whats that screenshot from
>>492293425How is visual code not better in every way?
>>492293454>it's used for "things that nobody should be looking at anyway"like games with AI art
>>492288186yeah, problem?
Anyone play around with the whiteboard feature in new windows? Any of those things useful for anything at all?

>>492293528I don't like vs code
>>492293527Steam dev analytics show you a more detailed distribution of play times.
>>492293915I see no reason to use vs code over Visual Studio.
>>492292428Well I could hard code certain monsters for certain battles of course. >showcase 72 different mechanicsI like the sound of that.
