Gamedev is a real challenge... writing 2500+ lines of code per script? Yeah, I'm UP FOR THE CHALLENGE, BRING IT ON!
>>492777670Hey guys, what do you think of this tutorial i made for making video games?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQThZV67USE
>>492776890This. I rarely ask for help on here.t. Whodev
>4 days
guys... it's over...
I'm modeling (Blender style)
just a few more months until the marnix suicide stream!
Im making a game. r8
Has anyone run the stats on whether gamedev youtubers produce few succesful devs? I see so many vids pushed on me yet where are the successful ones. No not vids of devs who uploaded after the fact, nor vids of devs who basically just uploaded a video like once every 6 months showing off gameplay before scurrying off for months. I'm talking about those who post about it like it some sort of glamorous lifestyle.>>492777670So like if I make a successful game, then I can get a titcow like the one in the op?
make a game about pissing in a toilet
>>492778646Anon this image is almost 10 years old
>>492778646I would fuck all of them. Not your art though.
>>492778646sexo with all of the ones that have big tits
>>492778646is this a monclone?
>>492778646not your game albeit
>>49277864678 pixels tall on top right, how difficult is it animating all of this?
Impersonation baiting somehow managed to ruin agdg even more than the pedos did
>>492778912I miss the monclone era. I have nostalgia for it
>>492778814Obviously, 'devs' on youtube who post regularly aren't devs, they're bloggers who use dev as a gimmick while they talk about the aquarium in their 400k house, etc.
>>492777670Is it Viable to have someone on upwork or other similar sites make a 3D model for you based on concept/discription of what you want the model to look like? How much would it cost for a game ready model(unreal or unity) ? doesnt need to be AAA btw. Ive seen porn artist do pic related models for free just because its coom.
Ahahahaha imagine spending 10 hours on the PERFECT piece of pixel art. Truly pixel gold quality! But now you want to use it in a game. You can’t just rig it with a skeleton and have easy to create animations.No.You chose pixel art.You must manually draw every single frame of animation by hand. Sword attack? New animation. Jump? New animation? Literally just idle? New animationAND don’t even think about adding equipable items and weapons. You will have to re-do EVERY single animation frame to include the itemITS SO OVER FOR PIXEL SHARTERS HAHAHAHHAHA
Toilet Pisseryou are put in charge of several toilet visits, some are just normal soft pees, but sometimes you are peeing uncontrollable and the ray is very fast and straight and you have to keep hitting the toilet. ofc peeing often comes with being drunk so you have to deal with the uncontrollable body movements and still aim correctly.
>>492779132>t. Cries about everything
>>492778518>implemented new mechanic>not ready for the public
>>492778086anon, this is by far the worst tutorial ever created. are you cris?
>>492779297the raw and unfiltered truth. there are no good pixel artists on AGDG
>>492779297>You can’t just rig it2D Skeletons to the rescue.>but rixels!!!doesn't matter, it's my style
>>492778991freetouse tho so technically its for everyone.
>>492779297Animation is basically just tracing over your own drawing with slight modifications, not every frame is entirely unique, and stuff can be copy-pasted.>You will have to re-do EVERY single animation frame to include the itemI hope you're joking.
two people bought my game today :steamhappy:
you literally can't name a single good game released in the last 3 yearsthe just make a good game spammers were right
>>492769942>his game engine isn't a 100MB executable that can be deleted and downloaded again in 30 seconds>his game engine alters itself and opens itself up to corruption instead of saving settings in the project file like a sane person would doYou better reinstall windows just to be safe.
>>492779297>AND don’t even think about adding equipable items and weapons. You will have to re-do EVERY single animation frame to include the itemI did tho. Scrapped the ability system for the weapons system. I have an animation for each weapon and for each character as well. But due to the various forms of movement the sprite sheets are split up and layered in game. And yes I do have rixels and mixels.
i have so much red goat energy lately and i have no idea what to do about it

>>492780236Marmoreal
>>492778646Where monsterboy?
>>492780542Aren't like 75% of his reviews just /agdg/? I wonder how much it hurt his game's potential compared to /agdg/ not buying it for a few says ans letting it just gain natural attention rather than a potential semi-blacklisting on suspicions of "bought reviews"
My demo is almost ready, we are gmi.
>>492780236https://store.steampowered.com/app/2696050/Yarimono/
>>492779375Cris could never finish a project
>>492780542I wanted to like it, but it's not particularly fun even for someone who likes bullet hell games. I'm not even sure what the problem is exactly, maybe it gets better couple hours in or something.
>>492780871tits too big
Automondev made it, vividlopedev made it, penguindev made it. Underspace made it (although he got fucked by his publisher).Quit being so negative just because marmo failed.bokube gonna make it too
Marmo, what the fuck does this mean
>>492781550penis bounce
>>492781428So where's boku at currently?haven't been in /aggy/ in a while
>>492781550Boob bounce is my guess
Marmo, whats next after that big failure than you concocted for 10 years? Quit deving or planning new game?
>>492781550thats the tit jiggle button
>>492781428I thought his game was cute. I'm happy for him that his finally finished it. I hope he will still enter his next project into demo day.
>>492781428Does bokube have a release date or year yet? I think I remember it being revealed.
>>492781701been making bokube look even more like shit, mostly
>>492781701>>492781906https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlK67jy2GV0
What's a random thing you can add to a game for juice?
>>492781806>Marmo, whats next after that big failure than you concocted for 10 years? Quit deving or planning new game?
>>492782048Hot women
>>492781806obviously he's gonna work on his next new game
I used deltatime in my game even though its going to be turn based. Sometimes I am not very smart..
is this credits song good for my meme game?https://voca.ro/16Ksts4Vs8Ms (wip)
>>492782009rough.
>>492782009wait, didnt this trailer get 1k views? why does it show 500 on my end, boku?
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Adding some placeholder images because Github hates empty folders. Also preparing for cutscene work.
This thread reeks of underage retard summerfags today
the only one on that list who did well, but didnt make it as none their did, is penguindev, you just put him in with a lot of flops to make the list look good. Its a lot of money sure but unless you're from some poor 3rd world country this isnt retirement tier.>2 devs who some anons who view them negatively for how they left/acted.kek bait. you slapped better viewed devs to make the list not look so bad.it's so obvious too since you didnt include the devs of Necrovale, Sipho, Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum, or devil spire. And all the other ones from 400 to 2000 reviews since 2022
>>492781930Bokube at least has a game. I still remember that one gameless swede guy that used to host Demo Day that used to shit on his game everytime.Bokube is still polishing his game. That guy, we havent seen him, any of his streams, or any of his games for like 2 years now. Probably doesnt evne browse this place anymore
>>492782406Summer ended however
>>492782009>Coming SoonSo does he take title for currently longest unreleased (early access release counts). Or does that belong to Heroes Gain or Ctesiphon dev?
>>492782048screenshakehitstopthat thing where you get a yelllow healthbar that decreases slowly when you take a hitthat thing where the counter updates 1 by 1 making bling bling bling bling instead of going straight to the updated valueuniquely-shaped particle effects (this is a big one)
thankfully i have no expectations so when my game flops no one will notice
>>492782494>Bokube is still polishing his game.>Estimated delivery: Nov 2017he needs to absolutely release before the 10 year anniversary
10 years is 10% of a lifetime, just saying. If it takes you 10 years go make a game, you will only have made 10 games assuming you started deving as soon as you popped out of your moms vag and you lived to see 100 years old.
>>492782406Shes so heckin cute.>>492782494Who? The guy with German or fake Germam last name (Jewish)?
>>492782718He and others like him could have released their game and 5 sequels instead of remaking the thing over and over again
>>492782734praying for quasi-immortality in the coming decades so i can /agdg/ for a few more centuries
What games are you awaiting for next DD?>Tower of Kelemvo>Svern>A(w)oken>The eastern flower>Plundercraft
Marmo did not actually spend 10 years working on Marmoreal. He spent 2 years actually working and 8 years jerking to vtubers.
>>492782326yeah other anon here it was at 1k when I last checked it too which means someone was unironically viewbotting this fucking trailer and then YT took those views away
>>492782734in Marmo's case it's 30% of a lifetime (I'm killing him soon)
>>492782734Average male age is assumed to be 80. So 12.5% of a lifetime. However reality is males on average live to like 76 years and 4 months. So its actually about 13% In the USA that is based on 2021 data
>>492782916That russian strategy game, I want to use my literal 1000s of hours playing such games to nitpick all the glitches and balance issues I can find in it
>>492782916And my game
why are people in here so sensitive, never make fun of something, never joke around? why makes a space that is completely free such a pain in the ass?
>>492782009Do you guys think Bokube would sue me if I stole him trailer music and put it on my game? I mean Im gonna release my game before he does.
>>492782916the loli games
>>492783058Tfw Ive devved 6.5% of my lifetime on a game that's probably going to flop ;_;
>>492783292Sunk cost.
>>492783058In other words, everyone here should stop wasting their precious limited lives on making games no one will play.
>>492783292Marmo did that with like 30% of his lifetime.
in 10 years I will have released 5 games
>>492782734>83.16 years for males in swedenThat's assuming Marmo is there. So about 12%, still a rather large amount. Now assume he's in EA for another year and thats 13%. Now assume he screws up and takes another 11 years for a full release game, 26.5% of a lifetime. 1/4, One fourth. AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!Marmo pls make something smaller after this!
>>492783471I'm compelled to create things.It makes me slightly less miserable.
bokudev put his heart and soul into this game and even gave agdg a shoutout and THIS is how you repay him?
doesn't matter when this could be your game and then it all becomes worth it.you already know which one this is too without even knowing the release date.do not stray from your path.
Why release a game when you know it’s bad? There is no way you could ever convince me that marmo really believed his game would be a hit. Maybe it’s the case of staring at something for so long you fail to see it for what it really is?
>>492783471I literally have no choice, the gods had ordained I shall gamedev and whenever I dont I feel a creeping sense of doom approach me
>>492783869;_; i know it, it's my 20 years in development games that I kept secret for 19.75 year to avoid cloners and then in the last 3 months of development I reveal it to large amounts of interest
>4 daysWhat games are you looking forward to this Demo Day?
>>492783946Because I made it and it’s finished. One sale is better than 0 and one person enjoying it is better than no one.
>>492784073>>492782916
>>492783946>Maybe it’s the case of staring at something for so long you fail to see it for what it really is?It's this. Demo day was supposed to solve this by making sure to give everyone outside opinions, but Marmoreal has been around for so long that people stopped giving it feedback on demo day.
>>492783869What was it's price when it came out? It's 5.99 now.
>>492784141I never played Marmogame as the aesthetic never clicked for me. Always thought is was placeholder.
>>492783946Real men finish what they start, not matter the consequences. Its not something you would understand
>>492783946marmo's problem was that his scope was out of control and instead of just cutting stuff out and polishing what he had, he left everything half made for the early access release
>>492784353Real men know when to cut their losses
>>492784353real men dont make video games
>>492784442still one of the best looking games of all time
>>492784442Ehh looks like any other generic 3D asset flip, everything is so gray and muddy and washed out, I would spend at least two weeks trying to add more vibrancy and contrast and color before posting again
>>492784442>third person over the shoulderew
>>492784446What would he even do to polish it though? All new 3D models for everything? New textures? New animations? I mean you’re talking about a whole new game, not polish
>>492784623literally how, vanilla beth games are always ugly
>>492775547What video?
>>492784353An entire generation of men with absentee fathers raised by their favorite Japanese children’s cartoons
>>492784753that one is the huge gigantic colossal exception.I have no idea how they did it. It just is
Bokube is a retard. He made an engine that could mimic pretty much all old retro games that use tile based movement and recreate theim in his game. Like he could make levels based Frogger. He could make levels based on PACMAN. He could make levels based on Qbert. He could make levels based on Soukoban. Etc.I hope he reads this and improves his shit game with my superior knowledge in game dev.
>>492784753
>>492785183He didn't make his own engine, right?
>>492782048Have your explosion's collision mask turned off when it's created and wait one or two frames to turn it on. This is an easy way to do nice chain reactions when you have a bunch of exploding objects together.
>>492785347Poonity
>>492784629>I would spend at least two weeks trying to add more vibrancy and contrast and color before posting againHmm. Does it look better now?
almost thereonly the secondary attacks left for railgun and chainsaw, and the demo guns might be finished.still probably months away from a demo. at least the gameplay feels and plays right ,could say more than the games I'm ripping off, got an adrenaline rush yesterday for the first time playing it which is funny. Have to get rid off the greenish barf filter probably.oh so much to do so little time will see.cheers fellow devers and shclockmeisters.
>>492785443That's what I thought
>>492785158I think the decade+ of mods have muddied your memory a bit.vanilla skyrim on the 360 was not pretty.
>>492785449is this death stranding
>>492785393Ehh looks like any other generic 2D asset flip, everything is so gray and muddy and washed out, I would spend at least two weeks trying to add more vibrancy and contrast and color before posting again
>>492783946These dev still think this is the 2010s where indie dev was a new thing and stram indie market was really fresh.the bar was really low back then.These devs think they are going to be the next Tobyfox or Zun by making shitty looking games and cultivate a huge fanbase behind it.AI is only going to ruin indie ecosystem even harder.I think the problem was that he released his game 10 years too late
>>492785569You stupid miscarried dipshit. I have never played skyrim with a single mod and I have always only played it on PC. Holy shit I fucking hate lying cumstains like you so much
>>492785846This looks like shit though, honestly
>>492785846That looks like shit.
>>492785917>>492786004name the reasons and expose yourself
>>492785616Its from death stranding 2, I am currently thinking of giving it a more cartoony look than 1 had.If serious, its the witness.
>>492786015How about you convince us why this looks "good"?
>>492784108>it's finishedIt's in early access
>>492785846I think you're conflating overall atmosphere with technical art.>still one of the best looking games of all timewould be something like mirror's edge, which still scales amazingly into 4k.but skyrim's holes start becoming apparent even at 1080 with the low res wood textures
https://gamaverse.com/punch-monkey-game/Is your game good enough to steal anon?
>>492785846>this is what agdg actually thinks looks goodamazing
Skyrim looked really good in 2011.
>>492784141Went back and checked, and Marmoreal actually still gets load of feedback, way more than some other games.So the question is: were any of these issues addressed before Marmoreal's release?>the tutorial is a bit too front-loaded>there is too much time spent walking between enemy clusters>the world map is a bit confusing with too much insufficiently coded information.>At first I didn't understand why I couldn't pick up the red pills on the ground.>I still think you should have an option to auto-equip stronger items of the same type. Often there's no choice to make, it's a direct upgrade so spending time in the menu prevents you from enjoying the gameplay. Alternatively have less items of the same type.>An enemy got stuck outside the level and I got softlocked.>During the forest level with the ambush, you can barely hear the music.>It's hard to tell how long the shield ability of Vanaia lasts because you're looking at the character and not the HUD.>The trees in this level could use shadows that are less dark.
>>492786603it looked like shit on day 1 when i played it but i still had lots of fun.Halo 4 however, being a shit game, was a marvel in everything else, only releasing a year later
>shitting on skyrim's art yeah this is 100% a underage retard summerfag thread school can't start soon enough
>>492785393Looks cool but this is starting to break my suspension of disbelief.Like sure, she is special forces or something like that, hence the Ghost in the Shell mech. Also, some police departments in real life field tanks and tankettes. Also, she's got military grade gear because she is responding to rogue paramilitaries and such. Alright.But now she has incendiary cluster bombs that can level an entire block? I guess the Geneva convention doesn't apply to civilian matters but holy shit that's crazy.
cheers to the guy that just played my demo for like an hour and made the average go up
>>492786803defending bethesda, and especially skyrim, is ironically, as peak zoomer/summerfag as you can get
>>492786781Maybe on your shitbox, on the PC Skyrim looked great.
>>492786426>le 4k resolution le texturesOHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD
>>492786015Not them, and skyrim looks fine for what it is imo, but realism always ages poorly and is kind of the bland "default" style to go for. More stylised art will age better and be more soulful.
Skyrim was stylized
>>492786972seeing someone praise a game and immediately seething about "heh defending le corpo" is something only retard teenagers from reddit and /v/ do
new crab standard: your game must be better than skyrim or its a flop, btw skyrim flopped too
>>492786972>Nooo you can't be defending Bethesda by objectively judging Skyrim's graphics by 2011 standards

>>492788002holy newfag, kys zoomshit
Skyrim's graphics were more than the sum of its parts. The scale, the atmosphere, the set pieces, they all worked together and made it look pretty good. This was true for Oblivion and Morrowind too.
Which part of gamedev are you best at? Is it programming, game design, art/graphics, or audio? For me its coding that comes the easiest for the type of games I make
Thoughts?
>>492781428>Underspace made it (although he got fucked by his publisher).Source? Was this another bug fables sich?
>>492788369give it lipstick and make it pink
>>492788421We told him multiple times letting his brother be his lawyer was retarded, but you can't be logical with retards.

Think about all the time you waste working on polygons your models don't actually need.That's why we choose low poly. Because it's clean, efficient, time-respecting.
>>492782106Will the next one take 10 years also?
>>492788217Coding and mid on everything else.
>>492788421No, it's a schizo retard who got mad at him for it.
>>492788675I don't believe a single one of those is a real person and not chatgpt
>>492782734let's be honest. It was not 10 years on the game.that 10 years was probably made up of changing idea ( moving between projects ) , waging, and procrasination.
>>492788796Nobody ever got mad at Transwiz.
>>492788763I don't think so.

Oh, crumble got unbanned again?
Made a new opening song. Can I have some feedback? https://vocaroo.com/14HXozeBukor
>>492779087Of course difficulty is relative to your skill level, but my sprites are around that tall, and it doesn't take that much longer than smaller sprites. Although it also depends on how much detail you're putting into those sprites. Simpler designs take less time to animate since you're mostly painting big flat shapes.

Realistically, how hard are those artsy fartsy exploration games to make? I have the urge to try it for whatever reason

Are there any good guides on more ornate UI designs, or is that something that'll just come after 5000 hours in Illustrator or something
>>492791331Fast. There's a reason why this is a specialized field in the world of professional game development. Following a tutorial to make something generic isn't too bad, but when it comes time to try and make something extremely specific from scratch it's hell.

I'm sure you can find at least one other person interested in gamedev.
>>492792874its 2024 gramps, gym and clubs are all free even outside uni, and most software has a free indie license.
Been forcing myself to take the pixel art pill. Complete beginner. Made this small scene for my game recently.
>>492792096>>492792874+1. Don't fuck around, it's now or never to make it. I wasted way too much time during college and am quite a bit behind in life because of it. Dev for all you're worth, use college resources if possible even if it doesn't seem worth at times
>>492793027not your art
What's the best tool for VFX would you say? And can I pirate it
>>492793181Blenda
>>492792874making social connections is fucking impossible, I've given up on that. People just hurt or use you
Would you dev on a single game for 20 years if you were guaranteed this many reviews in release year? >>492783869
>>492792874One of my greatest regrets. Meet people, seek groups, whatever.
>>492793027poser
>>492785846Same, played it on PS4. No mods at all, screw making an account to download the. Was quite enjoyable, I typically plays games in vanilla mode only eg Stalker series.
>>492793350That's the entire point. It's extremely hard to make social connections once you've left an environment where you're surrounded by people who are your exact age and likely share similar interests, ie. college. I don't care how hard you think it is to meet friends in college (assuming you've even tried), it's a million times harder once you're out and working.
>>492792782>Gender: Non-binary
>>492793173>>492793665Ok then smart ass, whose art is it?
>>492793791>likely share similar interestsI went to uni and people were only ever interested in getting drunk and being retarded or gay nerd shit like anime
>>492777670Say I had a strength stat and multiple characters, how would I assign a diffferent value for each character? Do I have to give them all their own strength variable? C++ is the language
Bug status: Obliterated.
>>492792874Ironically not making any friends in uni is like the one thing I dont regret about that whole shitshow part of my life. That said I doubt I am usual in that regard. Now if only I actually committed to a single game project back then..
>>492781806Whats your game?
>>492794074children do not look like this
>>492793791>It's extremely hard to make social connections once you've left an environment where you're surrounded by people who are your exact age and likely share similar interests, ie. college.it's literally not, if my spazzy self can do it with the zoomers at my work, you can too.
No demo for next demo day.Demo day 59 for sure.
>>492794292>Be time traveller>Still late for demo dayAt least it makes me feel better about also missing the deadline
>>492794292but anon... you made this post before last demo day
>>492792874>access to expensive software in the computer labsLike Photoshop? Illustrator? Painter? lmao first worlders.
I swear to god there is something wrong with the weather.
Holy shit >>>/g/egdg mogs you all so bad
>>492794798they are all coders, not visionaries
>>492794759Too hot or too cold?
>>492794254Proof?
>>492794607I went to a private college with a big 3D art department so I had access to professional 3D software, literally ever Adobe program you could think of, video editing software, you name it. Never used any of it because I wanted to sit in my dorm playing video games all day instead.
>>492794607My elementary, middle and high schools had access to expensive software, heh. In my 30s, Adobe software is old
>>492794880It's cool but too humid. I'm sweating and can't breathe, the window is open all the way. I swear to god there is something else happening. Maybe the composition of the air is a bit different or something. It's 22C degrees humidity is at 90-99%.

>>492785519so how is your game different from ultrakill
>>492794939check the pragmata thread
>>492782734I was a project hopper until my latest, I have 50+ unfinished games. I'm thinking in 20 years time, I can prompt ai to finish my old games. then I'll have 50+ finished games.
>>492795201>22C is coolSpoiled kid.t.8C outside.
>>492783869Is this terraria?

I just went from having a fit of stress and despair to genuinely believing I can get my game ready in a month
>>492796990go ask any meme learning entity how many 'r' characters are in the word "Strawberry".This is what you're trusting to supply you coherent and intelligent code btw
>>492795762With every passing day I become greater than the last
Hi guys. Been a while since I posted here but this is a small bit of navigation footage. A while back someone said it would be hard for me to make RPGmaker MZ into something isometric. They were right it was pretty hard. I think I got it working with lighting but its still a bit jank and the collisions need some work. Working on a big castle now.(everything was made in clip studio except the player sprite which is a placeholder from a demo project)
>>492795762I was having fun then my project got really big and there's a lot more friction when adding new mechanics or modifying old ones. I shouldn't have learned programming from unity tutorials but I didn't know what I didn't know, frick.
>>492797227Normalize diagonal movement.
>>492797248learn composition
>>492787458Yeah because they will keep rereleasing it
>>492795863Like bro why do you wage?
>>492796990Skill issue. Use claude
>>492797356Yeah that's the plan. There's a speed setting I forgot to check before taking a video
>>492788217im the ideas guy
Just rike 2 more months.
>>492797227The biggest reason you would use RPGM is to use its assets and character creator, but if you're not going to do that, then why bother?
>>4927960570.1% fun and 99.9% misery for me. The real fun is releasing it and it selling well. Yes I want a game, not make a game. Two different things, I hate the actual process of making it for the most part.>>492797227Hey I remember this. Goal of the game, like genre?
>>492797367I'm too old to learn new things now and I have ingrained bad coding habits. It's over. I have heard of composition but I don't remember things anymore
>>492797227Is the diagonal speed just a sum of the horizontal and vertical speeds? It should be clamped so the speed is the same in all directions.
>>492797609I don't know how to code so I just made everything else myself. The gameplay is turn based but I haven't had a chance to work on it much. I got the UI functional and it doesn't look toooooo much like RPGmaker.>>492797657Turn based dark fantasy RPG because I am original>>492797725Basically. Like I said there's a setting to normalize it I didn't click
>>492797692ChatGPT
>>492797227Looks cool, keep it up>>492797609>The biggest reason you would use RPGM is to use its assets and character creatorMaybe if you want your game to look like an RPGMaker game
>>492797908chatgpt is useful for building small slices of functionality, not for building a large well written project
>>492797692stop being a pussy, design patterns take practice. It's preferable to learn it then write spaghetti code forever.

>>492802475The spaceship game I made in a couple of hours in Raylib back in April. The spaceships are represented by advanced high level abstractions, called "quads".>>492802650I know you are joking with me. I fucking know you are. But the idea that you are actually misinformed and not fucking me is forcing me to respond. Git is GPL-licensed software that is also free of charge. It was instrumental in the development of the Linux kernel and a multitude of different software since then. Github is a web front end by Microsoft, where people host their repos.

>>492802246you are just another tourist to /agdg/ who's an overly ambitious beginner that doesn't understand how complicated making an RPG game is.Try to make Pong first then come back.
Hot take: Making an RPG isn’t difficult.
>>492803221where's yours?
it is for /agdg/ retard>wahhh assets are hard>wah writing is hard>wahh balance is hard>wahh my story sucks
>>492803221Really hot take: Gamedev in general isnt hard. Just very time consuming
Making an rpg is easy. Making a GOOD rpg is incredibly difficult, because they're very content heavy and your audience will have strict and particular standards. There's a lot of rpgs out there considered something of a gold standard you'll have to compete with.

>>492802541You know, I've heard this advice before but what else are you supposed to make to work your way up to an RPG?It's too late for me, but perhaps you can save the others.
>>492801601this is a sequel to my first game, which i made about two years ago. just try keep improving. :)>>492804578>>Scarce amount of rolling soundsthat's funny because someone told me it's too much.>>MC does not react differently to rolling faster or falling downthat's because the model and anims aren't exactly finished yet. i anticipate her to be closer to done by demo day.
>>492804776work your way up gaming history (which is also scope) and figure out how to slowly make larger and larger games until you feel confident enough to tackle an RPG.Typically the advice is for people who have barely Hello World'd, and are looking to make their own Chrono Trigger now

>>492805505>YWNGM>These are stories that only happen to other, never you.
>>492805201Thanks! Will try to watch these later. Although I think I've heard some criticism of nu-monkey ball's rolling sounds before. In terms of what I was going for here, while I can hear the resemblance it's not really modeled after nu-monkey ball but rather. Lamu's walking/flying sound effects. https://youtu.be/ugt5Uwtoyuk?feature=sharedhttps://youtu.be/kyRvy5NHhXU?feature=sharedAlthough, I do understand the desire for a satisfying roll sound effect. I will take this into consideration.

>>492797227I need you guys to give me a contrast check. I only got my phone and a 72% display tablet + 7 year old laptop to do color checking.Does the enemy sprite stand out enough (the character sprite is a placeholder)
>lose weight and work out so i got rock hard abs but no girl to touch themfeels fucking bad bros
>>492805995>multiple scooters parked in the street what thirdie shithole is this
>>492806182Looks good. Not a part of the contrast, the smooth shaded UI style clashes with the dithers of the game screen.
>>492806182I can tell he's the enemy, and I don't know anything.
>>492806276well we first world countries have those hireable electric scooters thrown about literally everywhere on the street so it's not THAT different
>>492806182It's a little subtle, like he's standing in the scene. There is enough contrast for me to tell he is an enemy, but if he was a little brighter, or the background more washed out, then I could see that as an improovement.
>>492806276>not being able to use other modes of transportation is a thirdie shitholeare you happy getting stuck in your shitbox anon?
Security camera.
>>492806602firsties can afford comfy spacious cars with AC and rain protection, only poors have subject themselves to the elements to go buy groceries
>>492806276Daytime right now + scooters = SEA. Americanized grass lawns and McMansions hints at Philippines.
>>492806683wtf is up with the top middle seam? almost looks like sparkles from z-fighting
>>492806602nta but my third world shithole has scooters too, they are dirt cheap and made in China. Also, they don't require a license.
>>492806382Thanks. The UI is very much a first draft (I haven't fixed it since the last thread I posted in). It needs a bunch of detail and dithering. I had a hard time making the inside look urban so I used clip studio's half tone tools. The good news is it looks okay ish to me. The bad news is means the UI needs a lot more work than I expected.>>492806460Thanks>>492806517Yeah I'm not sure how to fix it without washing out the scene too much. A lot of these sprites are already in multiple areas so the values are difficult to balance. I'm basically relying entirely on silhouette + tiny details
>>492806782>pedophile expat in the philippines yeah checks out
>>492806805Pixelation effect is weird with textures when certain objects are close to each other.
im going to make an html canvas (porn) game. for interactivity i am going to get the coordinates of the mouse click then use logic to figure out what to do. it will be a visual novel and point and click adventure type of thing. will i run into performance issues if i am checking the user's mouse position every frame or something like that?
>>492806872>Yeah I'm not sure how to fix it without washing out the scene too much.There's a couple I think of. You could do a post FX outline shader on the enemy, but that may look a bit iffy on pixel art. Another on that comes to mind is giving enemies in combat a background 'aura', like a purple mist, that would definitely make them pop.
>>492806182looks good, some light animation could help
>>492807157>enginedev, but in the browserretard
>>492807157yes, you'll want to predict when the user may be about to click and start checking mouse position then.
>492807157Daring today, aren't we?

I think I will make a walking simulator. Not enough of those in the world.
>>492807498i dont know anything about rpgmaker, cant you use animated sprites? i only meant a really basic idle animation of him "breathing" or whatever, slight movement against a static background
>>492807637Walking simulator metroidvania?
>>492807686Is it a metroidvania if you open doors with things you find? That's like a walking simulator staple.
A running simulator.
>>492807637Walking simulator, under the ocean. You explore shipwrecks and giant whale bones.

procrastination simulator
what the hell happened here
>>492808545a game based off the old tard wrangler stories could be kino
>>492808372You might as well call SDL2 and raylib an engine at that level. They're not. Browsers support a shitton of features like mouse events for DOM elements, but you're too retarded to use that, so you're trying to rewrite that shit yourself, hence enginedev.
the real shit thing about freelance art is time and availability, any good artist probably has commissions backed up meaning you need to compensate them more or wait wayyyy too long to get all the art you need. That's the real reason you will. never see a large scale freelance project, it would take 10 years or 100 thousand dollars. You basically have to own an artist
i wouldn't procrastinate if I knew what the fuck to make
how much money did marmo make?
>>492809478I need to hurry up and find a hiki neet japanese artist gf
just ditch artwork and minmax on graphic design like rez or whatever
ouch...
>>492809225People found out around DD50 that anyone could make one so DDs 51-57 were made by randos
>>492777670Vindicated. So much rage! I deleted my game and loaded up a backup. Get paranoid near the start after noticing something saved that shouldn't be there. Meaning this is something saved separately from a project and in Unity itself. Don't want to redo the last 30 minutes of work. May have been paranoid it'll screw me over. Something like additonal 1.5 hours later along with new stuff now. Everything is working fine. So it's time to set up a character due to his new design. About 1 hour later I'm done. Hit play. One of his sprites is missing. Instantly suspicious I'm about to get screwed hard. Exit, look at his prefab, it's there. Go back in, not there, test if its the layering still not there. Jump, his sprite goes -10x in size.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Why didn't I listen to my paranoia? So many vindications in the past, why don't I learn? Why don't I just listen to it?>3 hours of work destroyed>an additional 3 hours of work destroyed because the engine itseld is corrupted (about 1.5 hours redoing the previous work, and 1.5 hours doing new work)I am so mad right now and have a headache too!
>>49281027183-99 are still unclaimed if anyone wants one
>>492810379This is the guy who had the power outage happen to him (me) btw. Well seems from now on nit only will I delete my game but also delete Unity and fully reinstall one and pull a former backup of the game. My head hurts.
>>492809225Liq only made DD jams up to DD50 on itch, so for a while there were multiple claimant DDs by randos, including a troll DD53, until BlueFairy made a new series up to 82 I think.

>>492813180That's too long, make a prototype instead.
>>492799515Actually amazing. Keep up the good work.
- 54 minutes working on objective art.This weekend has been a mess. Need to lock in for the next four days to get ready for demo day.
I don't think posting progress or demo days is actually a good idea if your game is a good idea. Seems all too easy for someone with more time/money than you to just steal the idea and beat you to market. Since my game is pretty unique (I've never seen any game do this idea ever even though it seems fun) I can't post it
>>492805505>These are stories that only happen to other, never you.Yea, because the "other" has talent
Did Marmo get any fanart?
>>492814349definitely. iirc there's an anon from long ago who's game was cloned let me see if i can find it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEEVJ4PeeS8there it is, game was cloned from an a 4channers game. the 4channers game is higher quality btw. idk if he was an agdg anon or not thought. guy who is pretty sure his steam page was scoured by a chinese dev team
>tfw actual schizo hours
>>492814767yeah, check the 'cord
My game is starting to get scary. It scared me!
starting to get real ticked off at all the people buying my game and playing it, but not reviewing it *my 500 game steam library with 3 reviews is juxtaposed over my shoulder behind me comically like a punchline*
>>492815615I forgot I added random lightning strikes and got a fright
>>492814349don't share it, all the people who disagree are uncreative people working on generic platformers, generic visual novels or the billionth iteration of a roguelike or zelda.

>>492805505If you look at what rittz did, AGDG would call him a NGMI. >makes a 3D platformer prototype copying Mario 64 >really just focuses on the movement mechanics and speedrun potential >then he abandons it and makes another prototype building further on the same movement mechanics>then he does a game jam, another 3D platformer with the exact same mechanics + the game theme>then does another game jam, another 3D platformer with the same mechanics + the game theme>then does another game jam, another 3D platformer with the same mechanics + the game theme (this is pseudoregalia) >sees it's pretty popular, packs the jam game up in a couple of months, releases it, becomes millionaire At so many points AGDG would have told him he's wasting his time and to give up, but he just kept on trucking doing what he thought was fun.
>>492816019chinese cloner? or just multiplayer vs chinese?
>>492816019the bottom game is garish, boring, mobile slop and i'd say hardly in direct competition or cloning (even though i saw the top game clip in their video).If you get beat by slop, you deserved to fail 2bphwy(desu)
>>492816019told you guys pixelshit don't sell
I wish I had some gamedev friends
>>492816019Ideas are worthless. Execution is all that matters. There were dozens of these inventory management RPGs for LD54: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/gamesMeanwhile Kickstarter with>Estimated delivery Mar 2019and no delivery to this date = failed to execute.

>>492816510I'm right here, fuck you.
>>492816019I don't think he minds anymore, that anon died before the clone was released
>>492816201you forgot>has 3 music friends to make music for him for free (the only criteria for making it is having good, original music)
>>492816542>"Our Son, Alex Sian, passed away on January 17, 2024 after battling cancer the past 16 months. Alex was just 28 years old.>Many in the indie video game dev community will remember him as ShoutScion or Bushido. Those who knew him will say that Alex had immense passion for video game dev, and often helped others in their journey as game developers."yeah about that...
Why is numbers go up not fun?
>>492816795seeing numbers, despite borderlands, is not fun.stop showing players backend-numbers
>>492816749That's the easiest hurdle ever to overcome. Do you have any idea how many composers are desperate to have their music featured in a game? Especially if you are willing to pay them a moderate amount of money.And if the amateurs/enthusiasts aren't good enough for you, you can hire the services of a professional composer for a few $K.
>>492816730Considering he passed away this year, no. He would have saw it because it was playable last year.
>>492816510Same except gamedev girl friend
>>492816019tranny art vs browserslop art, I'd take the bottom
>>492816776F
>>492810379Great news! A few mistakes were made and after adjusting stuff the character works fine. Still paranoid something might be broken within Unity itself mainly because a preset that was made in the project folder I deleted appeared within the backup so idk if any corruption occurred to the engine itself.>>492816019Hey that style looks like gameboy advance anons game. You know the one with the girl in the reflectoin.
>>492817048Ryan...
>>492817085>I'd take the bottom
>>492816201you're telling me he just kept copying and pasting the same code but with different skins on top until one got attention?
>>492817763this is genius what the fuckagdg has never once said this workflow
>>492810379I lost 3 months of work once
>>492814349You can wait until you are closer to release and know that you can get it to market fast. Absolute worst case scenario you need to wait 2 weeks to release on steam so cloners are limited by that assuming they don't abuse the system
>>492817085the bottom is the actual tranny game thoughever
>>492817925Their Godot tutorials are great though.
Making a sprite styled like old fighting games didn't take as much time as I thought it would. I mean, it's not pro level, but it gives me an idea.
>>492817890I think 3 months is plenty of time to market your game if it's actually good. Shouldn't have to worry too much about cloners in that span.
>>492818052>haven't made tutorials since successit's so over
>>492816019i would die mad
>>492816878What do I show then?
>>492817001Most indie composers are absolute fucking garbage though. All they can manage is bland derivative "video game music" slop. Only indies with decent music are ones where the dev himself is a good composer, a la Toby Fox. Your average amateurs commission-work composer could never manage something this good: https://youtu.be/pIOPZXV7I9w?si=vpUxZgACVGptjrYT&t=70
>artist makes a sprite>charges me about $45 for it>a few days later>she says she miscalculated the price and it should actually have been $57
>>492818561>she this nigga hiring trannies! lmaoooo
>>492818058lolivania dev?
>>492818121This. Imho I should've kept my page private until I was for sure no more than 6 months to a year out from either early access or full release. I'd say it heavily depends on the game though. The more difficult it is to clone, the more time you have. For example say the following games were all solodevs>Kenshi>Witcher 3>Terraria (in the state it released years ago)Which do you think would be the easiest to clone if the dev posted it 2 years prior to release? Terraria of course, that one stands the most to lose by posting that early while something like Kenshi or Witcher 3 are just far too unique to easily copy within a short time span. Not to mention 3D gives an extra barrier that prevents cloners from easily getting away with it.
>>49281856145 for a single goddamn sprite?
>>492818674clearly anon got a giant parallax map
>>492818674it was animated, it has like 12 frames.
>>492818630ye
>>492818561You didn't settle the price with a contract beforehand? if not you don't have to pay more
>>492818340You just communicate changes effectively with the tools games innately have>art / VFX >sound>gameplay >enemy feedbackNumbers are a bad crutch for communication, when there's so many better options that make your game instantly better, and players appreciate it substantially more.
>>492818860she has some formula she uses to determine how much a sprite should cost. the sprite in question contained a palette swap, which she hadn't taken into consideration before. apparently she just did some research and realized she was supposed to charge more for it.
>>492818446>Only indies with decent music are ones where the dev himself is a good composerNot true. Even aside from the example in the post I was replying to, I know a dev who routinely paid for professionally composed music for his games, even some free gamejam games before he made it (and become a multi millionaire).He would shell out a few thousand dollars and get pro-level music, and it improved his games a lot.
>>492818885this is why VS is so popular, it cranks up everything instead of just 'ooh I got +5 to att'
>>492818970A different palette isn't worth $12
>>492818824welcome back, king
>>492818970>apparently she just did some research and realized she was supposed to charge more for it.So it wasn't part of the formula at the time of sale? Don't let her backcharge you, it's her mistake she didn't set the right price the first time.
>>492818970uhhh sounds like she shouldn't be able to get away with this, didn't you agree on price before the commission rather than after?
>try to make subtle idle animation with pixel art >character looks like it's dancing + having a seizure

are lists meaningfully slower than arrays?
>>492818970I'm a pixel artist and if I made a mistake like that I would just eat the cost. happy customers are repeat customers. and $12 is nothing.
>>492819595If you have to iterate over the entire thing in a loop, yes because arrays have cache locality(better performance for cpus). However, if you only grab one at a time every once in a while, then it doesn't really matter.
>>492818970she's rightyou're wrongsimple as
>>492819692>If you have to iterate over the entire thing in a loopthat's what I've been using them for...
>>492819679>charge the a higher price the next time>uh but last time you did the same amount of work, why is it more expensive now?>am I getting scammed?>I won't be back then
>>492819548If I'm going to make a failure I might as well make the game I want to make.
>>492819409subpixel animation is your friend in that case. worth experimenting with. https://youtu.be/Wqd6epIWo6E?t=39
>>492818561I cant imagine reaching out to a client multiple days later for an extra $12..Western artist? Based off what anons here say they generally seem unprofessional and insane compared to asian ones unfortunately>>492819826You just explain upfront on the next commission that, "heads up, I accidentally undercharged in the past so it will be X dollars going forward"
wtf i have nothing left in my to do listi am FREE.
>>492819826I'd work out a deal, admit the mistake but not screw over the customer. something like I'd do x sprites at the reduced rate.
>>492819829>If I'm going to make a failure I might as well make the game I want to make.so the last several games were things you didn't want to make? uhhhh
>>492820078>todo>playtestsyou are never free

What happens if my female protagonist in my noncoomer game is a bubbly slut? What kind of blowback can I expect?
>>492823438overt canon slut or just a tease?
>>492823426>()is that taco for me?
>>492823524overt canon slut. Like implied she's slept with each of the 3 other male protagonists and cuddly sexual scenes with one of them
>>492823709If she's likable (an honorary bro) or attractive, it shouldn't matter then.Just as long as either1. no male protags simp2. any simps rightfully get ridiculed by her &/ others
>>492823438how old is she?
>>492823438why would anyone want to play as a slutty woman in anything other than a porn game?
>>492824197agp
>>492823894No simps, they all represent different aspects of masculinity. And a possible implication she uses their semen to fuel her magic running ability. But she's likeable and sweet, I'm writing all the cutscenes to be very slice-of-life because that's what I like.>>492823943around 28-32>>492824197Because her gameplay is pretty fucking cool so far.
>>492824350>And a possible implication she uses their semen to fuel her magic running ability.
>>492824350>she uses their semen to fuel her magic running abilityJust make a porn game, you clearly want to and there's plenty of money in it
>>492816510what kinda person says this when literally bunch of game devs in this very thread?
>>492822661>autistically wears the same fucking thing all the timewow he just like me
>>492788719hot.
>>492824473> you clearly want toI don't, and I'm pretty far into my game already, I'm just gonna have some fanservice of her. Just think it's strange that writers can get away with adding mature sexual themes, but the perception of it is completely different with videogames.
>>492824761there's a difference between a poorly-lit implied sex scene between the leads in a romance movie and having a main character who sleeps with everyone else in the game and has cum-based superpowers."fanservice" is putting a female character in a skimpy outfit, not whatever the hell you're doing
>>492819595No, in the context of making games in 2024 on a commercial engine, lists are not meaningfully slow compared to arrays no matter what premature ejaculators in this thread will tell you. If your game slows down then you are 99% more likely to get meaningful gains from optimizing elsewhere, not switching between lists and arrays. If your game absolutely needed the gains you'd get from using arrays instead of lists, you'd be making your own engine instead, since there's a lot more msecs overhead commercial engines add than List usage does.
>>492819595Depends on how much data you have to iterate through when you have a list.
>>492825137but it's only implied sleeping with 2 of them, one of them more overt.>has cum-based superpowersJust hidden lore, doesn't need to be stated in an obvious manner>"fanservice" is putting a female character in a skimpy outfitYeah I'll be doing that too
>>492824350>And a possible implication she uses their semen to fuel her magic running ability.>Porn game lore but not porn gaem
I started building out a quest system and journal UI. I have so many competing UI widgets, just haven't discovered a cohesive design language I'm happy with yet
>>492823438>>492824350if you want to pull an Andy and Leyley thing and appeal to weird internet degens this is fine, but female MCs are hard sell to the (mostly male) gaming audience in general, let alone ones who fuck other characters in-game

how do i convince an aggydaggy fren to code my game?i do the art, animating, story writing etcjust need a coder
>>492836339Would help, but I'm already with an art fren. People are quite skitish around here, so if you actually want serious responses you should put your email/discord id in your post and hope someone dms you. Of course, I'd recommend using a burner instead of your main.
texturing is the brown eyes of 3d asset creation
>>492835380I was going to post this example of making it darker, HOWEVERGo to the itch.io page and look at the game trailer.You're wrong. The game DOES have contrast. The game has a scrolling background. The game dynamically changes the background's brightness to emphasise actions the character is taking. Don't make assumptions based on a screenshot.

Im planning to not focus too much on the main story and just put all my attention into the side quests.(but you still need to complete the main story to progress time to make new side quests appear and old ones disapear also some of the side quests will be tied to the previous one so they will not appear if you didnt complete the previous one before completing your next main mission moving time forwards you will be locked out of that quest chain)You would be able to get new companions,equipment,new classes(The class of the main character will be changable in town) etc. from completing these side quests and some might even change the ending.

Is it okay if I release my game in Early Access but it has a few bugs and rare crashes in it?
>>492837165im honestly shit but its okay I dont think Id have the trust to collab with complete strangers from a taiwanese pottery forum anyway even if they were satisfied with my level of art/writing>>492837551its a top down RPGso a lot of workI got the story all completed. right now im working with one guy whose learning coding specifically for the purpose of creating this game so..
>>492784237> What video?Look for "giant arrows in USA"
heres some morethe slimes were quite well liked last time i posted them
>>492837826Early Access has lower standards, but when people pay they want a game that works. At least fix the crashes and game breaking bugs, at least the ones you know.
>>492837826those bugs and crashes are going to happen more often than you thinkand this will lead to negative reviews which will kill your gamebut yeah, go ahead and release it in early access
>>492825978Engine?
>>492837828>its a top down RPG>so a lot of workAny reason you wouldn't want to use some kind of RPG template? And what classes of assets are you using for graffics?
>>492838180i wouldnt mind working with a templatewhats templates are available or how can I find this myself? or do you just mean RPGmakerassets for grafics?Im using spine to animate right now but Im thinking of switching.
>>492837964>At least fix the crashes and game breaking bugsI'm unable to (no coding skill). And my friend helping me out is away due to some IRL shit for now.
>>492822967I'm gonna try to do some smaller side projects to hopefully fund my game
>>492838304Also, the remaining bugs aren't game breaking. They're more like minor annoyances rather than something serious.
Nolgorb fix the bugs
>>492838545Well in that case I'd say it's, relatively, fine to release. Just try to fix what you can. That said, releasing without your main programmer at hand sounds risky, there could be a glut of issues at launch that you can't fix.
Am I shooting myself in the foot by not making every system generic between the player and other NPC's?It's a pain in the ass to do
>>492838710Depends on the systems.
>>492838284>assets for grafics?things like but not necessarily limited to sprite sheets and tilesets, not sure if your game is meant to be 2d or 3d or what
RPGMaker is the best tool for non-programmers to make it. It made several amateurs into millionaires.
>>492838902its 2dyou got any info on where to find templates?
>>492838695Well the game is systems-based kind of like an immersive sim, so shit can go wrong even if we fix all the bugs we found. It's actually what's been giving me restless nights for the past couple of weeks. I've released a linear game before, and I was mortified to see how people managed to break that game and get lost in it, even though it was basic as shit and Call of Duty tier linear. With this game, even though I've played through it myself countless times, and let quite a fair bit a few other people play it on their machiens without much problems, I still dread everything going absolutely wrong for players.
>>492838710That can always come later. Really, don't overthink design too much. Experiment with different approaches in different parts of your game to get a feel for the approach you like best.
>>492839067Ill use that then, thanks ladsprotag is a loli by the way
>>492839107afraid not, but I'd look into rpgmaker or gamemaker in general
FUck my asshole I hate this shit
>>492839529just use quaternions bro
>>492839231>protag is a loli by the wayWtf why didn't you say that earlier? I'll join.
Mom just hit me with a "babe you're not gonna make it".
>>492839067And why not Unreal?
>>492839745tell her she's a nodev crab
>>492839827
>>492835380How did you grayscale this? My software made it look different.
game idea: FPS set in the medieval time period except its not shit like every other attempt at an FPS with bows
>>492840231Doom: Dark Ages
>>492839745why does your mum call you babe mate
>>492840231I had a game idea that was basically just Advance Wars from the GBA, except it was actual real world countries and armies.Could be cool.
I use `trans' a lot of times in my projectgrep -Rw trans src | wc -l 22
a game where instead of shooting your enemies, you shoot your friends
>>492840815persona 3 comes to mind
>>492840815TF2 medic already exists.
>>492836652>don't judge my game at a glance!>why didn't anyone buy my game???Nigga no one is going to bother even looking for longer than 3 seconds if your still picture can't pull them in. There are multiple 'at a glance' tests that you have to pass. Your capsule has to stand out amongst a sea of capsules, out of a 1000 people who scrolls over your capsule maybe 15 will actually click on it, then they'll scroll down for like 2 seconds and if they aren't drawn in instantly they're going to hit the back button. It's like having a tinder profile.
>>492839745nobody believes I'll make it either, my mom told me to go apply at a store and she said I'm smart enough to quickly become a manager.that is how much she thinks my life can amount to, being a fucking manager at a supermarket.
>>492841294Well yeah, most people are losers.
whats that one comp sci book's name?
>>492841161>Your capsule has to stand out amongst a sea of capsulesB U L L S H I Tcapsule art is only relevant in that it shows the name of the game
i will be adding singleplayer to my game, but only as a way to get people into the multiplayer (which is my pride and joy)
>>492841617multiplayer is very hard to code I wouldn't bother.
>>492839920Desaturate in GIMP. Doesn't matter how you do it, the problem is glaringly obvious to anyone not huffing their own shit. Look at a real gameboy game using those bright pastel colors, anything that's important is highlighted from the noise in the background with solid black outlines and shading. This is a fundamental failure of understanding how people see things.
>>492841736i already have multiplayer implementednetcode isnt hard for me, since it's just a matter of logical engineering. however designing and creating something enjoyable in a singleplayer setting IS difficult because there's no guaranteed process to it. plus it's harder to scale up without going the cheap procgen routei never managed to make singleplayer something i could personally enjoy in my last game, which is why i wanted to focus on multiplayer for this game
>>492841736my game already has functioning multiplayer, thoughbeit it needs to be updated for all of the new features I've added
>>492841575Does your game have marketing? No? So no one will know about it other than when they stumble upon the capsule when they search for games under x category. Why the fuck would they bother clicking on your extra special game when there's a literal sea of others to choose from?>because my game is a special little boy!>no one realizes how special he is!Go to itch.io, click on a category, here let me help you. https://itch.io/games/tag-horrorFind me an interesting game, how many capsules did you scroll over and how long did you look at them? I scrolled over like 60, you know which one caught my eye? The baby in yellow, I don't even know what the rest of them are because they got washed out in the noise, didn't even register to me.
>>492842000>This is a fundamental failure of understanding how people see things.It looks fine you big baby. The important and interactable stuff (items) are fucking huge in pixel size and there's nothing to confuse them with over the dull blue gray background. The sprites above (which aren't even interactable) have thick black outlines followed also by another layer of white outline which makes it stand out from the background. The visuals are pleasant as fuck to look at and the game didn't "fail" because of them, the developer just got cancer and died.
Submissions have opened for our fall show on November 30th, you got till midnight on October 31st to add your game! Submission trailer coming in a few weeks https://itch.io/jam/the-verdict-1-fall-2024-
>>492820370And you still deny you aren't just Cris but with a knack for appeal.
made a lil fella
>>492843061for some reason I really want to beat this guy off
>>492842693They are the same in tone, dull colours over a gray background = confusion as everything blends together. The items and characters need to be brighter in color and have black shading. But whatever, believe whatever you want, I get nothing from trying to help you people. Like trying to tell azurdev that his gameplay doesn't make sense to anyone.
>>492842609That's not how I look at games. If there's a list on Steam, I'll check every game in that list by mouseovering every capsule. I don't even register what's on the capsule unless it's the name of the game.Maybe it's different for feminine-brained people who are interested in games that scare them or make them feel emotions or whatever. For me, a thoroughly masculine and logical gym-going hetero guy, what matters the systems the game has and how fun it would be to beat them or optimize them or whatever. And that's not apparent on capsule art.
>>492842609i think you have a case of the "agdg brain" where you assume the very quirky views on how you evaluate games are universali generally think people who look for random games to play catalogue-style are in a pretty few and far between. they definitely exist, but most people are just too busy or too caught up in whatever else they are playing to go randomly browsing like that. i think the way most games are spread among people (in a way that they'd actually try it) are>see a friend playing the game on steam friends>get recommended the game by a trustworthy person (streamer or friend)>stumble upon video of gameplay (streamer, youtube video or friend)even if a game's glance value is shit, it has no trouble spreading through people's recommendations if it merits that. undertale looked and played like shit when it came out, but it was signal boosted by toby's existing fanbase and it spread like wildfire after that. that said i do think if you're just putting games out on itch and steam hoping that people just pick them up based on a glance, then it does need to have very glance value. but there's no rule that you need to rely on that to get your game out.
>>492843035Nice!

>>492841161anon, it got 37000 on kickstarter.
>>492843223beat him up not off
>>492841294>that is how much she thinks my life can amount to, being a fucking manager at a supermarketWomen see the world differently, being a manager of people while making like 10cents an hour more than the workers is a bigger deal than being a manager of no one and making 20 dollars an hour more than the manager. They're still not going to give you anything for being some one who is holding society together though other than nice words. Their entire existence revolves around tricking men into doing work in exchange for nothing but nice words, and when you don't bite holy fuck are you dead to them. Some guys are starting to catch on. They'll fuck the thug while trying to get the nice guys to run society for free.
>>492844104bro how are you "holding society together"
>>492843627Yes, 95% of people will go based on what they see other people playing. If you don't have marketing that works then your only avenue of exposure is the 5% that browse the store and hopefully converting them to players so they will market for you. You have no hope of your attitude to that is 'it doesn't matter'.Look at how marmoreal flopped. No one even knows the game exists.
>>492844057Does the fate of Marmoreal give you any concerns about your game? Or do you think your game is a lot better?
Had the dream where my game became a sudden smash viral hit again...
>>492843035I'll never watch this dumb shit again
>>492844489i don't expect much of any success to begin with so I haven't given it any thought, I just wanna maek gaem
>>492841294>>492844104Can confirm. When I tell girls I'm a gamedev they ask if I work at a company.vWhen I tell them I run my own studio, they ask how many employees I have. For some reason it's really important to them that you have authority over other people.
>>492844579Don't worry. I will watch it for you.
>>492844247I work in the electricity generation industry, did supervisory work for a little bit before realizing that I was doing 100% more work for 10% more pay ( which actually becomes 5% after taxes ) thanks to the unionized environment and management not holding workers accountable for anything. The girls did flirt a bit more, but that's all you get, nice words and looks.
>>492844104>Women see the world differently, being a manager of people while making like 10cents an hour more than the workers is a bigger deal than being a manager of no one and making 20 dollars an hour more than the manager.Yes, because a manager is at the head of a social hierarchy, which is what women, being subhumans, are attracted to.
>>492844825you fags are so annoying
>>492845514Why?
next thread post progress of porn games onlythanks
>>492845891My porn game failed. I deleted it.
>>492845891oops forgot to specifygay porn games preferred thanks
>>492846003Based gay pride dev.
>>492799515already better than bokube
Trips and I delete my nearly complete game forever.

>>492799515>fall down>ball breaks on the lower-floor>girl is bloodied and clothes are torn>a bunch of goblins come around her>cut to black>cut to passionate rape scene
does your game have a self-insert character?
>>492835380I saw this image without reading the contextand I found the top part with the characters to look very aesthetically pleasing.
>>492848312Yes but she is also her own character to an extent.
>>492848430>she>her
>>492799515very cute keep it up
>>492848470Yes she identifies as female.
>>492848214>porn game>rewards losing with sex sceneI hate this shit, horrible game design. I hope none of you are doing this.
>>492848818I'm doing that. I like it.
>>492848634and how big is her penis?
>>492848634ywnbaw
>>492848868>>492848870Sorry, she doesn't have a penis. There are no planned canonically futanari characters at the moment.
>>492843362The desaturated pastel colors gives the game a unique look. You do not need to adhere to the same limitations and guidelines as a GBA game made for a 200x300 pixels screen, when you have a shitload more screen resolution. Link related is a shit game but it stands out because of the art https://store.steampowered.com/app/1585220/Melatonin/
>>492849150I should mention though that otherwise I agree generally that making interactable elements have higher contrast is good game sense, but it's not a hard law. If you know the rules, you can break them to achieve certain effects, and I think it worked for him because his game is more pleasant to look at than the chinese mobile vomit that copied it.
/agdg/ sucks and is evil.
>>492849150>a shit game>Overwhelmingly Positive (5,519 reviews) just like make shit game, should be easier than a good game right?
>>492849732How so?
>porn game>just look-up the porn scenes on the average porn websitesPhew, time and money well saved.
>>492847379whats the context here?
>>492848818Well I like my females submissive. would you have her amazon mount someone as the victor of a level? if she's submissive it has to mean a loss is involved.>no, she masterfully dodges and wins, then lays on the bed for some mook to take her
>>492820062>I cant imagine reaching out to a client multiple days later for an extra $12..That $12 is probably a few days worth of food to an Indian on fiverr.
>>492849806They bully me all the time for no reason.
>>492849935Make the MC a guy and his enemies women that become submissive after you beat them. The political discourse is shifting and this would probably be almost acceptable now.
>>492850039Valid concern.
>/agdg/ - women hatred general
good morning AGDG! Let's make some progress today :D
>>492850039There is a reason. You just choose to act like it's our fault that your game sucks.
>>492850039You probably want it. I'll make some update post and people will start talking shit. "Oh you think you're fucking better than me cause you have zzz!...." And then I have to sit there are break them down til I appear to the bully. When I was just defending myself.Lesser people only understand power and being smashed down. And the only people they like are the bullies who do just that. Some people exist to be abused.
>>492777670Felt like an etremely slow thread, why
>>492850354>>492850354>>492850354
>>492850376Monday.
>>492850039show agdg up by making a good game or making progress, gaining skills, don't let the bullies win. but don't let spite be your main motivation, just use it to get a little boost.
>>492818446>Most indie composers are absolute fucking garbage though. All they can manage is bland derivative "video game music" slop.I am going to guess you only know about "video game music slop" indie composers cause you mostly listen to video game music slop yourself. If you get autistic about a music genre you will start finding more and more obscure artist in said genre, who while maybe not quite as good as the big names, will likely be more than happy to have anyone pay them to make music, especially if you are okay with them still getting to sell said music as an album. Pretty sure this is how disco elysium got its music for example, I heard he reached out to some small obscure band the dev already liked.For reference here are the 631489 released on discogs in the "not on label" section. And this isnt counting released from band on some small litteral who label who would still happily take your money for work.https://www.discogs.com/label/1818-Not-On-Label?sort=year&sort_order=desc
