>make Stardew clone>become a millionaireBro, is it really that easy?
>>492299458No, I doubt it I could become a millionaire by making a Stardew Valley clone.
>>492299458Sure.

>>492299696just use chatgtp lol
>>492299458This took 5 years to make thoughever. but, if you can make a game that appeals to girls, yeah, women are the biggest consumers.
>>492299696It's rpg dialog. Just use chatgpt. "Hello!" "It's been nice talking." Goodbye then."
me watching my game's numbers stay the same because its dead
I have been doing some tutorial art, I need to embrace this art style a bit more. I'm also working on sound effects and it is a pain.
i will succeed

Godotbros how do I implement a simple fog of war into my 2d game? I copied this:https://github.com/87PizzaStudios/godot_light_fow?tab=readme-ov-fileInto my project and added a light to my character, but it only works when I turn "persistent reveal" off for some reason. When I turn it on the entire FoW disappears completely. What am I doing wrong?

>>492300050Same!
>>492299791I tried this but dialog is obviously AI once you get used to it. even with creative prompting. maybe mixing AIs like Claude Grok and ChatGPT you could throw off the scent>First Meeting: “Oh, hello there. I… I don’t think I’ve seen you around before. I’m Harold. This is my store. It’s not much, but it’s home. Times have been… difficult lately.”>After Learning About the Robbery: “You’re back. Um, I suppose you might have heard… my store was robbed recently. They took almost everything. It’s been… hard to keep things going since then. I… I hope you’re just here to shop.”

>>492301397Stardew Valley I'm not going to say is easy. There's a lot of work to do. Especially making your own art and music. But it's not complicated. It would probably be fun to program. Very little is interconnected actually. Keeping it bug free and enjoyable to write.

Harvest Moon hasn't had a good game since 2003. You had more than enough time to make a clone. Why didn't you?
Hey mobile devfound your game but successful on pchttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1016600/Devil_Slayer__Raksasi/
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/945859Made a mini version of Dungeon Watchers for newgrounds, in this version you can only play with the witch and the bomber elf. Hopely I can get some feedback and see if the people like the way I'm making the game. I tested the game runs well even on an old pc with no gpu I have, with just small lag spikes when having many enemies at the end of the game.
>>492303118Because all farming games are shit and boring. Yes, that includes Harvest Moon. Yes that includes Stardew Valley. Yes that includes Fields of Mistria.
Why did marmo not participate in Steam's Anime Game Festival?
>>492303378>survivors cloneLook man we already have a survivors clone schizo, we don’t need another one
THAT BUG BEEN EATIN OUR LUNCH OUT THERE!GET OUT THERE!AND SHOW THAT BUG WHO'S BOSS!!!!!!!-team screams and yells with motivation-
>>492303378I think you should make a character with big tits next. As big as you can. Thanks.
maybe i can make it to demo day this time
>>492300593Congratulations on the release! Truly the gameplay is a blast from the past. I beat it mostly by doing the 3 hit combo, the special moves always got punished for me.I lost at the final boss. I wont spend 2 minutes on the final level waiting to try again though.
>>492303904Kludge looks like it can be a quirky portal-like game.
its turning into an im-sim i guess
>>492303551Stardew Valley has very little farming. It's all about users having freedom to create. Find a way to make users have fun being creative and you've got gold. You can't just give a blank canvas, that's overwhelming. Stardew and Minecraft both found ways.
>>492300593>>492303378Lots of people trying to spread malware and keyloggers today, be careful out there anons
>>492304207You have the ground work for a cult classic, you will now need to spend a couple years adding puzzles, levels, new enemies, new mechanics etc. but this is a successful proof of concept
>>492303118Didn't think anyone other than me liked it.
>>492302845what does it do?
Game idea:Munch's Odyssey.... but how you imagined it in your head as a kid.uh oh, think I just struck gold.
>>492303749If Marmo was in 1 less Demo Day, the game might have aligned with that.Also there's no server or newsletter that said there would be a festival.
>>492304698sorry I don't know that game, I only know super mario odyssey, and abe's odyssey, and enslaved: odyssey to the west, and homer's odyssey
YouTube Zoomer Shooter Devlog"So guys, I added a bit of 'juice'!" "Now you can slide, wall run, and grapple!"
>>492304698Never heard of that game but I always thought Oddworld was a bad game because the character on the cover is ugly.
>>492300593Good stuff. I don't remember my account credentials from 20 years ago though, so I can't rate it unfortunately.
>>492304129its going to be kind of like like blast corps, the goal is to cause as much property damage as possible before security robots kill you. im adding more interactivity but its just there for sandbox purposes the gameloop will be fairly simple
>>492300593>>492305215Nevermind, turns out I still have the same email account. Wrote good feedback for you & rated.
>>492304387yea the temptation to add shit has already extended the demo launch by quite a bit i just need to polish what i have or i'll never get it out. i thought it would be funny to have all the bots in the game be unlockable to play no matter how shitty they are.
>>492305179So basically you also keep getting Blood Thief and Project Feline videos in your recommended.
>>492304207This is the most promising game in Aggy daggy
>>492300593Congrats, I really like your artstyle.
>>492299458Why call it a Stardew clone when Stardew was also a clone?
>>492304654combo punches, so like, backfist twice, then three rapid backfist. POW.. POW.. PAH-PAH-POW!!!!
I miss her...
>>492306696Because Stardew brought innovations that Mistria (and others) directly copy. There are tons of direct Stardew clones. There are near zero direct Harvest Moon clones.
>>492306853I wish I had a gf like her
>>492303378Cute art.
>>492303378I played it.My thoughts:starts out decent. then the variety dried up kinda fast. picking abilities didn't seem to matter. Sometimes I'd be dropping bombs and then accidentally click an ability when the screen popped up.The summoner at the end died I think, but I was spamming bombs and then a menu popped up for "return" and "restart" and I hit restart by accident because of the aforementioned bomb./click spam. I recorded my last 3 minutes if you are interested. the bomb girl is fun, I didn't try the other one. I wish it had more to picking abilities mostly. You should play path of achra for ideas, not a VS but I think it might help you come up with unique abilities and passive effects/combos etc
Making 3d characters is hard...
>>492306853a blast from the past... month

Demo Day in One Week.Will (You) Be Ready?
Why do people keep calling Stardew Valley a Harvest Moon clone when it's obviously a Rune Factory clone?
>>492303850>I think you should make a character with big tits next.I already have one, maybe I will another one.>>492307528Thanks>>492307531>I recorded my last 3 minutes if you are interested.Yes I am, I always value seeing someone else playing the game because I'm alone testing the game most of the time.
>>492299458Further proof that art > everythingThis game took 5 years and is optimized and bugged as fuck
>>492308449My game is too embarrassing. You'd find out my real name and my criminal record. it was an accident I swear!
>>492300084Made this work by only sending out the light moved signal once every 3 physics frames. Not sure why this works exactly, but anything more often than that immediately disables the entire fog for some reason.
>>492308567There's actually good reason to believe Eric has never played Rune Factory. The only mechanic he took from RF was the quest boards, which could have been inspired by other games.
>>492299458>>492299821>>492308630I imagine more than one person worked on this as well.
>>492308449noi give up
>>492308449no. too much to do yet before the slop is presentable. it will have to wait til DD59.
>>492308595Boobs wayyy too small
>>492308449No I'll be skipping this one 85%
>>492308595https://streamable.com/5669olforgot to mention, There was no summoner at first, or maybe he as chasing me and I didn't see him. so I kinda wandered around an empty map for a while. I thought he'd be at the summoning circle but he didn't show up there til later. And "Rise your bullts size by 50%"should be "Raise your bullets size by 50%"
>>492308956>fantasy setting>combat>expansive crafting systemIt has more in common with RF than HM.
>>492303378Overall, not bad, but I don't think it's competitive in the current VS-clone scene.The lightning strike VFX lingers for too long. Maybe make the particles fade out faster.Bullets from the eyeballs are not prominent enough. Give enemy projectiles their own unique color not used by any player VFX. Right now, it clashes too much with the lighting VFX, making lightning a terrible pick simply for visual clarity reasons.Game continues to run after the game over screen, including firing bullets, picking up exp, and the level up screen.Some particle emitters continue to emit while the level screen is up, leading to a dense build-up.Towards the end-game, the level-up pop-ups become meaningless and therefore annoying, since I already have all the power that I need. You need limits to the power-ups.Certain powerups are way too OP, like the +50% exp.Too few powerup options. Very shallow gameplay.The BGM loop is too short and gets tedious very quickly.
Alright, its harvest moon same cozy atmosphere but its set on Titan. Theres a backdrop of Saturn in the background as you look up in the sky. Your love interests include becky, stacy, and a cute green alien farmer girl. Theres alien sex and alien half breeds.
>>492309567The combat, setting, and crafting are nothing like Rune Factory's. You're shitposting and haven't played any of these games.
>>492303378Also, I don't know why you decided to make it twin-stick controls, but IMO, it detracts from the gameplay. Fireball girl sucks because you have to aim, while Bomber girl is OP because you can just click and hold LMB, but why would you make me hold LMB when there's no meaning to it? There's never a situation where I wouldn't want to continuously fire.
>>492309557*first 12 seconds are blank because I didn't realize Kdenlive had scrolled to the right when I pasted the file in.
>>492309587>Bullets from the eyeballs are not prominent enough.Yeah I noticed this too. They should be shooting out flaming/bleeding eyeballs or something. not small fireworks particles like you have.
>>492306731it kidna does like that, if a punch connects you can do a 4 string attack
>>492309943I've played RF4, RF1 and FoMT and I find it feels a lot more like Rune Factory than HM. That being said, I'm willing to accept that the coincidences might just be a natural consequence of adding RPG elements to a farming sim.
One day Godot will will make inverse kinematics functional. One day...

>>492308449Maybe...
>>492308449sklime will return for this demo day
Everything I want for the technical demo of Galduen of the void is done. This week will be mostly art nicety I guess.New shader for for planet shadows.
>>492310850Great job
>>492310643go on…
>>492310546Harvest Moon was a fantasy setting (see the Goddess, the Witch, Kappa). Rune Factory is much higher fantasy. HM also had simple combat that functioned like Stardew's (see HM:DS). RF is famous for its crafting autism, which Stardew borrowed nothing from. There's no way somebody who played Rune Factory would come up with combat/crafting this dull. Like I said, the only Stardew mechanic that bares any similarity to Rune Factory's is the quest board. Eric clearly never played it.
>>492311213>Harvest Moon was a fantasy settingok but the aliens..
>>492311213Did any of the Harvest Moons have any combat at all?
>>492310002After reading your comment, I think I will add a auto aim mode, so everybody is happy.>>492309587Thank you for pointing all that stuff, I will work on that and keep polishing the game.>>492307531I will fix some of those issues later, thank you for testing.
>all those game ideasbut who's gonna make the art thou
>>492311447
>>492311649>who's gonna make the game art thouYes.
>>492308449of coursh!
Should a strategy/colony building game include non violent missions? I would like to have the option for the player to perform their autism in peace, but when I'm making the game include violence (defending your stuff from enemies or building enough to seek and destroy the enemy on the map) I'm having a hard time thinking of how a non violent mission could be engaging. How do you design non violent gameplay?
>>492308449If I can put this mess together I haven't touched in over a month yesOtherwise no
When people do these contrast value checks, do they just apply a normal grayscale or some special one specifically for this?

>>492313052Is saying "I don't know what you're talking about" too humiliating for you or what?
Is having an item guessing puzzle where you have to figure out what presents the townsfolk want so they'll sign a bill reducing domestic mana expenditure too cynical lets say for a final fantasy game or is that just the right amount of silliness for such a title?
>>492313585Oops image didn't upload. Talk about being humiliated.
>>492313585I've been making a living from my games since 2016 and I never heard of contrast value checks so it must be something you made up or something so obscure that only left handed trans technical artists do.
Is there a godot equivalent for music making without music
>>492308449yes
>>492314028Because it's not really something most game developers care about, it's more of an art thing, but it crops up occasionally in discussions about games.My question was clearly aimed at the people who do know about it, you don't have to respond to everything friend, it's okay to admit you don't know something, it's fine to just observe and learn.
>>492314028>since 2016hello kiririn
>>492273385Cryengine is still alive?
>>492312771So more contrast = more soul? Am I qualified art guy now? Seriously though what is the deal with all new games being washed out eye sores?
>>492312771Can I ask what the point of one of these "contrast value checks" is?
>>492314673Fine I'll learn about contrast value checks. Always learn this practice that implement this refactor that, this jobby is fucking bullshit
Thinking about my "game" makes me nauseous.
>>492312607those are pretty much different genres.Do you know of indie FPS (with guns) with a grappling hook and platforming as a big mechanic? or just doom eternal?>>492313806gamers of non-puzzle games tend to be pretty dumb. just make sure it's not hard. and it sounds like a power struggle, not silly. silly is if you don't get it right you'll have to serve them for a day.

I'm peeing my pants right now
Want a free idea? Here you go. Copy Ys I/II's bump combat system. I'm already using something similar for my game.
>>492314673so, uh, how do you know if you've past the contrast check?
Want a free idea? Just remake Super Mario Bros 3. That'll be 15 dollars, I came up with this idea all on my own.
>>492315130It's an aesthetic choice really but it makes the game look more bold and punchy, as opposed to foggy and hazy. I'll post some pics after this.
My ideas aren't free, piss off.
I don't mean new game ideas I already know I'm making an RPG but I mean ideas for the world and style

If the player presses EXIT GAME on the main menu, should they be asked "Are you sure you want to exit the game? {YES, NO}", or should it just instantly exit the game?
Is your RPG better than Kingdom Come Deliverance at $3?This is going to happen with every game. In a few years new indie games will compete with AAA from 2020 at the same prices.It's over boyos...
>>492318779>my game will get 11 downloadsIf you are willing to pay 11 people money to play your game, then yes that is possible
>>492319054The extra prompt is only acceptable as an "Unsaved progress will be lost" reminder. If your game autosaves or is not the kind of game that needs saving, then just exit.
>>492318595You have to make a good game. appealing game. followers will come on their own.you can't force popularity. that's how 20k followers 20 reviews games are made.
>>492318108Made in game maker so the dev was able to put in tons of small little minigames and little things that aren't possible to do in RPG maker.
>>492319185You are wrong though, 99.99% of people who wanted to play or buy this game already did. People don’t base their purchasing decisions on relative cost to games they don’t want to play, that’s retarded
HOLY FUCK, i didn't realize how longwinded and annoying it is to make sprite sheet particle effects in photoshop to unity. so many freaking steps
>>492282801Yeah I think what eeally helped that game is that the dev used the obviously decent looking female as the fsce of the company. The sign was there when it was just her and her coming off as if it was solodev. But then the sign, if you paid attention, had her reveal that code was someone elses, a males. Oh but it's just an insignificant detail, someone's open source code. Not soon after she reveals a "new" team member, as if equals too but idk. Now who goes from solodev and the first person they hire gets a 50% stake? Not like she revealed that but man it sure feels that way. The guy's smart in using her as the face. Pretty, but not so pretty to feel out of the league of most 1st world males of today.I just need some busty Latina to be the spokesperson for my game and I'm sure I can gather the simp crowd and with enough time the normal crowd where I won't even need her to maintain momentum

>>492299458You're still whining about this? You seem to wait and post about it near the start of the thread every single time I've seen you post it, and far apart throughout the day to get it in at least 2 threads too, almost like you're just astroturfing it for sales. Anonette, you know this isn't the place for sales, right? Or is your goal insidious, push develoment in this genre so it gets ssturated and all the new ones fail and thus push the popular ones further up as the masses just can't be bothered to sift through the new and just fall back on the one's that sold well?

I think brush smoothing works well on normal art for me, but it is actually terrible for pixel art. You need precision and every pixel must be in the right place for pixel art to work. There's too few pixels for it to work.Now what do I use, Krita or Aseprite? I already have both installed, Aseprite through compiling it. I think I'll stick with Aseprite since it was made specifically for pixel art and comes with stuff for animations and (probably) tilesets. I didn't like pixelorama.

>>492319357This. You think I thought carefully when I saw a game I wanted? No I just bought it. You think I waited for someone to tell me "this game has 5 hours, 10 hours, 100 hours or gameplay" to decide? Kek no. If the game is good I'm dropping that $15 even if its just a 2 hour game. Only if I want it bad enough otherwise I wait for a discount like 50%>>492319680Kek! He got a banger that's for sure. Plain, decent face, and skinny body.

>>492279039>he acts as if it's impossible when there are literal teams (not solo indie devs with 1 hour of free time a day) cloning gamesYou know sometimes I wonder if there non agdg-ers here solely scoping out for ideas to copy with the way some of you talk and act like ideas are worthless but then most games out looking like something Id never play. Perhaps most just cope and say ideas are worthless because they cant think of a good idea. I've got at least three in my notebook. One of them has been proven to be solely from seeing a dev show good interest in his with art so low quality you wouldn't expect that level of interest. Meaning the concept, the IDEA, is good enough regardless of execution. But once such a market is saturated? The bar only goes up.>no it doesntThat's a lie and you know it otherwise make pong and sit back as you build a video game development empire on pong, pacman, and tetris alone. Now stop pretending clones fail>Trove (cube world clone in my eyes)>20 seconds until dawn (vampire survivors clone)>deep rock rogue (vampire survivors clone via succesful indie teams game)>wall world (dome keeper clone that appeared while the original was still in early access)As if I need some indie team with millions of dollars deciding to just clone my game.

>>492321650It's little things like how McDonalds meat patties are not made-to-order. They're precooked and stay in a warming bin, but you're only supposed to leave it in the warmer for 15 minutes (there's a timer you're supposed to start when you put it in there). There's nothing to stop the employee from completely ignoring that timer if orders are slow and they don't want to have to grill one or two fresh patties for your order. Just use the ones that have been sitting there lukewarm for 2+ hours.

>>492319510afaik, Anastasia Opara is actually legit as a technical artist. She did some really cool talks on procedural trees, and contributed significantly to a texture synthesis technique they published.And she has released courses on procedural architectural arthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7J_9Xf_h_U>The guy's smart in using her as the face.I don't really think that's what's happening, the project is totally within her artistic wheelhouse, and might have started as a prototype in Houdini.Of course, a game of that quality wouldn't be possible without a good 3d programmer on board, and it probably is smart for him to stay in the background for pr purposes.

>>492315130The point of it is that new artist tend to rely too much on color. It’s a huge reason programmer games look like ass.By checking grayscale, you remove color and so you now have to actually look at the Saturation and Value and how the scene reads.For example take a game that is infamous for its use of color - Mirror’s Edge. The specific colors they chose were determined not just based on Hue but on saturation and value. Notice that the red in grayscale is the darkest object in the scene? Followed by the blue wall running objects. And how the roof tops you can run on stand out from the sides of the buildings because they have a higher value?
>>492325189My problem is that my mind doesn't shut up. Constant flow of thoughts is annoying espiaclly when it veers into stuff you don't want to think about, like when getting told irl "now imagine that granny naked" aaaaaa!!! Very distracting when Im devving, makes it hard to focus on working
>>492324936An artist with technical knowledge. Mainly it means that they fully comprehend the pipeline from "art program" to "finished game", so they know their way around the game engine to get their shit working in an actual game, know how to write their own shaders, and so on. Whereas a typical "non-technical artist" might be like "here's your concept art and/or .blend file, good luck"
>>492326048>Mirror's Edge>red means go here>everything else not redit's not that complicated
>>492303840who?
>>492324936They're generally good 3D artists that became very skilled in engine tooling/shader programming, or vice versa. They commonly write custom shaders, setup art pipelines, create procedural Houdini tools, etc. In general just helping bridge the gap on what the art team is trying to do and then making it work and perform in the engine and target platform (some stuff may get too deep though and then get sent off to engine devs to implement).
dogshit webm quality, but making progress on my game. >Skelly bros will now die after a certain amount of time outside of a building>Added a visual indicator for them once they have less than 25% of their life remaining>Added really bad controller support that will need refiningNext I am working on the building upgrade system, which will give your skelly bros abilities like extended life, boosted speed, weapons to defend against enemies, turrets on buildings, etc. Then it will be on to the enemies.
>>492326048I see. Thanks, I think I need to update muh game.
>>492325056I definitely plan to include verticality, I love the sensation of height in fps games.>>492324936Basically an artist who knows some math and how 3d games work, e.g., they know what vertices are, how they're represented, how they're shaded, what data can be stored in them. They can handle technical details.Someone who can work on procedural content, and won't create a rock with 1 million polys.Usually they don't code much, but they can use stuff like Houdini or Blender's geometry nodes.
>>492324936A guy who makes the shaders and video effects and the tools and the art pipeline. Like a bridge between programmers and artists.
>>492326048Mirror's edge is infamous for its use of color? I thought it looked great.
>>492326048You say all that but I cant really make out much in the color lacking pic in terms of "oh thats why they did this." Just feels lile a black and white photo
>got a pax pass for friday>eric is there on sundaywhoops ;(
>>492326048Can you show an example of game art (even programmer art) that fails the grayscale test, and what that looks like?

I'm going to start adding achievements tomorrow. Then it's going to be the start of doing a lot in Unreal engine.>>492299458It's mostly art that means a lot, and it's part of the appeal which is also tied with game mechanics. The appeal that people see/hear in the first 10 seconds of the cover art and trailer matters the most. But making a farming sim type game with those elements isn't a bad idea. Maybe in the future.
>>492330473Looks neatDid you steal the waypoint post from project arcane?
>>492299213I didn't realize it was this bad, it seems only 4 reviews or so are actual normal customers. You don't think aggy daggy ruined his chances by tripping the algo with that many reviews, do ya? Besides that, this feels unusually low, don't know if I was expecting a set amount of reviews for Marmoreal but, it feels so low, why is it so low?
>>492329306
>>492330735That's normal. it's 1 in 30 people who buy through steam leave a review. Sometimes it's 1 in 50.
>>492330156No my girlfriend is here with me (she has huge tits btw)
>>492329306I think he revealed the game too early.>>492329558Crab dead or you just flipped him upsode down for the pic? Are crabs even safe to touch? I mean the bacteria and stuff. I know turtles are dangerous due to what they have, kek at people wanting to take them as pets with all those warnings petstores have
>>492330473I couldn't even watch more than 15 seconds of the trailer, I'm not going to read all that. I think you were a bit premature with your website.
My game will have its own lego set one day, you'll see
>>492327568Just look at bloomer shooters, the Gears of War era wasn’t just a lack of color but a complete lack of contrast. For example, the most prominent part of the enemy is their arm rather than their head. The background of the scene is all very similar greys. The characters are largely just blobs without a defining silhouette.Programmer art tends to look flat because they don’t use any shading or highlighting, much less with purpose. They rely almost entirely on color to distinguish objects and characters.
>>492302471I can only think of mirror's edge where that was fun vs all the 3rd person action games.why'd you make this pov choice?
>>492331180nigga it's fuckin legos just build that shit yourself
>>492331180My game will have a playmobile set one day, you'll see.

>>492331002The crab was already dead. I wouldn't flip over a living crab, that's mean.
>>492331002>I think he revealed the game too early.He had too because most people and news outlets were running with the story that "the creators of stardew valley(Chucklefish) are working on the new magic school game Witchbrook!"
>>492329306>makes a game using microshart proprietary garbage>it's hell to port to other platforms>surprised_pika.jpg
>>492328205Because the artist lit the level on purpose in such a way to do that.Guess what they did for their night levels? They added lights specifically to highlight the rooftops.
>>492330473Looks like an interesting project that might appeal to a niche audience of history nerds. But an 8 minute long trailer & webpage gushing about your terrain, foliage, and historical accuracy isn't going to win over any sort of general audience. The environment does look nice but the only substantial thing we see is a default Unreal character with default rigging and animations wandering around an environment. If the game is going to be anything more than an interactive history lesson / walking simulator, it's not apparent at all.Could be a neat project eventually but right now I think it's a couple years of work out from being in a state where it'll actually gain any interest.
>>492331454this is exactly the sort of thing you should just be making yourself instead of hunting around for. should take less than half an hour to make even for a beginner, you'll spend more time than that digging through a dozen asset packs.
>>492329306I will send him healing energy when he sends me $500 000(chump change to him)
>>492331454I would assume those kinds of assets would have extremely onerous, even sadistic licensing requirements

>>492326048There's more than one way to grayscale an image. I think Value is closest to how bright I perceive the colors in the scene.

>>492332645Can you grayscale my game and give me improvement suggestions?
>>492332007>>492332617Eric's funds are better spent on more noble endeavors. It's not like he had a patron giving him hundreds of thousands yet he still got his game made
>>492328605>>492329009Is that the transition now, developer to tutorial maker?
>>492332645The best one to use nowadays is OKHSL's Luminance.
>>492332795Yes, unless it's a 2010's anime.

>>492333431it's not polished at all
>>492333314its not.... when you all make it.... dont forget me....
>>492332645What always bothered me about Mirror's Edge is the lack of effort on the branding and logos in the game. Here compared to Dishonored.
>>492333145he did have a patron. it's called a GF.
>>492333458no, it was free. then again it brought the number of players to new records so its not like he didnt profit from it
>>492333570Plenty of anons have said that your game is ugly/muddy. I tried to defend it by saying that you're just drawing focus to the VFX. kek
>>492329306The correct choice of action would have been to hire somebody to do maintenance updates and expansions for the game while he works on other projects (see: Binding of Isaac). Stardew still still has a lot of money to be milked.
>make low poly model>mark seams, unwrap >find 1k seamless texture off ambientcg>apply materials with triplanar mapping >bake out texture to diffuse at low res >apply vertex colorsidk how retarded this workflow is but it seems to Just Work™.

So this is an RPG, which is fine, I don't really see it as that but that's fine.As my "idea guys", I want to run this past you.

>>492334329What is complicated about it?An array is pretty much a contiguous block of data, where elements can be accessed by index.Dictionaries are associative and map arbitrary keys to values
>>492333584nigga it's a speedrun game not an IMMERSIVE sim
>>492334703uh the one i built i guess
>>492334329Array is a list of stuff where every item's "address" is a number.Dictionary is a list of stuff where every item's address is a word.
>>492334708uhh.. umm... haha.. have you ever heard of concord?
>>492334698It's just vertex painting. You can easily sample VS or heck make AI backgrounds. Alternatively you could just do megaman legends.
>>492334329Dictionaries are simple, just a 1 to 1 reference between a key and a value Arrays aren't that bad either, you can get into some arcane shit with them but you shouldn't really have to if you're working within an engine. I still personally prefer lists fors most things because iterating through one axis feels cleaner than through two.
>>492334749You spend time in elevators. The displays also have text. You're not going to be zooming past those.
>>492334573it's a minimalist ad for a minimalist dystopian city what the fuck else do you want
>>492334725>>492334801Retards who don't understand the topic at all and just mindlessly regurgitate what they saw online>>492334593Literal genius who understands how to explain complex topics to people who aren't experts, thereby proving mastery of a topic
>>492334767No wonder. Just give up and use a real engine.
>>492329306Yes I'm sure the millionaire with a trad girlfriend really needs our help to get through life. He's not your friend dumbass, stop jacking him off.
>>492334989Art style choice. Simple as.
>>492334172What's retarded is the way you're handling the camera/rendering and pixelsBe serious, what the fuck are you expecting someone to tell you when you post the most bland featureless webm of a sprite walking.OOOH YOU'RE ADDING STATS TO AN RPG, DAmn DUDE. Not even crabbing, fuck off and come when you have something that's not generic pixel guy walking you put up after a couple of youtube tutorials holy shit lmao
>>492334417that looks so good>>492334573>>492333584You're right, these look really amateurish. Maybe they were instructed to make them minimalistic to fit with the art style. But in that case, something about the serifs bothers me
>>492333584>>492334573I'm with you, seeing shitty, blatantly phoned-in ads takes me out of a game just as much as if any other asset looks shit.Fallout just stole designs from actual ads, which works fine in most cases
>>492326714Looks good, also what genre?
>>492308449no, someone will steal my idea and beat me to the finish line
>>492333570Isn't this just the default scene for an empty project in unreal engine 4?
>>492333969>Looked it up>There's a video on it>Looked it up even further>There's a tweet from May 1st 2023 straight up saying itChrist. I used to be subscribed to that clown.
Dictionaries are a handy way of mapping one value to another, picrel converting "true" and "false" to something more context-sensitive to help with debugging
>>492335123>>492335182Great, thanks for posting.
>>492333584I think that's part of the worldbuilding. Glass hosts a handful of megacorporations with over-optimized logos that don't stand out so as to not offend. Poster boards, handwritten notes and the like aren't tolerated. This is happening IRL, sometimes it's called refinement culture: https://lindynewsletter.beehiiv.com/p/refinement-culture>>492333940You should add some baked AO (shade the parts where the handle intersects with the blade darker).
>>492335258Honestly vertex color can make even shitty texture combos really work.
>>492335115>don't understand the topic at all and just mindlessly regurgitate what they saw onlineThat's delusional. And I learned to program from books btw (and looking at the assembly code generated from my c++)Sorry I didn't pretend to answer the question for a literal 5 y/o
>>492335115Retard who didn't earn more than a million dollars (and counting) from programmer salary.
>>492335493Grim, I know.
