/agdg/ is DONE!
>>495466671I wasn't joking earlier but I do however know that this patenting purpose is partly done in the same manner with nations and nukes for the purpose of staving off others. They are protecting themselves from getting wrecked and thrown out of the video game industry. If they have no patents every other AAA company can just wipe out the competition with lawsuits. However the nefarious undertone of this means they can also collude and cement their reign at the top of the gaming industry by simply suing up and coming indie games. All it takes is them agreeing to not sue each other in secret while simultaneously going down the list of the most successful, non-triple AAA games and suing them into oblivion. And then after that, use the wealth to sue up and coming devs. In effect this would cause a massive die off in indie gaming leaving only triple A games coming out yearly while indie games would have to go anonymous to avoid being sued (but also incapable of making money unless they get paid in crypto). Unironically easiest way for them to cause PC gaming to die off and come back to consoles at least for Nintendo.
Level progress
Post game.
Unreal Engine 5.3Please help me, why do SOME of my items fall through the landscape SOMETIMES? Smaller objects do it more but I've thrown one of my lawn chairs at the house and had it clip through too. Collision all looks normal.
Reminder I am still working on story stuff. https://x.com/BokuDev/status/1837629487292314040
>>495471071turn up physics tick
>>495471000feels like somewhere between DXHR and Stalker. what's the gameplay going to be?
>>495471071Yeah the objects are phasing through each other because the mesh passes through faster than a tick can tell it that it’s colliding, ja feel?
>>495471190>>495470749do you like my cover image?it's you and the wife when Bokube gets released
>>495471027
>>495471071note in your webm that it did not phase through when falling slowly, but then did phase through when falling quickly. this combined with "it happens more with smaller objects" is your hint at what's going on.>>495471198bandaid fix. does Unreal really not offer a better solution? in Unity this bug is 100% preventable nowadays, without increasing tick rate.upping the tick rate will lead to longer frametimes and will not eliminate the problem, only move the threshold for the problem to even smaller or even faster objects.
>>495471251First person RPG with some immersive sim elements. Planescape Torment and Fallout New Vegas are main inspirations.
how bad is unreal compile times in comparison to unity?
>>495471607how many people are working on this? you can't make an immersive sim solo.
>>495471732I can and I will.
>>495471459Do you even work on your game anymore?
>>495471707absolutely awful
Progress:
>>495471071a certified godot moment in ue5
>>495471765no. but I admire your spirit and I'm sure you will learn a ton from this project.
>>495471071anon your lighting looks fucking ugly
>>495471732It's just me. I mentioned "some elements" for a reason - I focus on enabling creative solutions for problems, though mostly through in dialogue interactions, and not stacking boxes to get to a vent.
>>495472131Well give me advice for once I'm fucking with the lighting
>>495472009Nah godot's physics issues are of completely different kind
Everytime I abandon a project but don't have an idea I feel so lost without a purpose. I'm using gamedev as a coping mechanism.
>>495472135ventbros... I feel sick.
>>495472219it's too white and bright.If you were an expert 3d material dev you could write some crazy Subsurface Scattering shit for that grass so it actually absorbs the light
Any unreal engine enthusiasts here that can't into asset making that would like to learn blender in exchange for teaching me how to not suck ass at blueprints?>t. failed programming and my only cope method as a model monkey is to copy youtube tutorials
>working on my UI>realizing that I have no corners free for streamers to stick their facesfuck
>>495472669Oh the flashlight, yeah no that shit's getting toned down I thought you meant the scene in general
>>495472707It doesn't matter. Not your problem.
>>495472707This is the talk of someone who's gonna make it
the good thing about epic launcher and the ue editor each taking fifty years to launch, and a thousand years to compile a single-line change, is that it gives you time to reconsider whether you really want to use that crap
I've been deving everyday for weeks now, and I told myself that I'd send the weekend relaxing and playing games. My progress so far for the weekend: I opened up Steam, scrolled through my library of games that I've bought by never even installed, closed it, and opened Godot again...
Any recommendations for an engine if I specifically want to make shitty 2d flash games for uploading to sites like newgrounds? I would just use one of the python packages, since that's what I'm most familiar with, but the file has to be in html5 to upload to a flash game site.
Imagine the downfall mod for slay the spire as a full on game.
>>495473413pygame exports to html5
>>495473413godot can compile to webOtherwise pixi.js, I've made a vampire survivors clone in it and it worked pretty well for me
>>495462127https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1ff64wp/communitywide_alert_do_not_engage_with_p1_games/
I want to reach my artistic peak
Is it hard to make a model exactly like this and rigged? How much would I need to pay for this?
>>495474414i wouldnt pay more than 50 for the model plus animations
>>495474414I like sculpting monsters and could do it for ya potentially, depending how much you're willing to pay
>>495474414I want models of this quality too.
>>495474358Proof?
>>495474710>sculptingerm, sorry sis, but you will have to show your remesh and topology skills
bros, wtf.I just learned to texture with blender.WTF.lol
>game starts>you wake up in a strange decrepit house with no memory of who you are or how you got here>there's a stench of stagnation and sweat that permeates the house. rats, flies and other vermin infest the rotten walls, the shoddy floorboards creaks ominously as you carefully begin to take a look around>suddenly you hear a loud rumble of heavy footsteps dragging towards you, the whole house shaking with each step>the shadow of a titanic behemoth appears in the doorway, and takes another leaping step towards you>you wince, expecting the end, but open your eyes when hearing the sound of a pot carefully being placed on the table next to you>the unkempt man points to the pot and then looks at you solemnly>"You have to eat all the eggs."
Animating is difficult and it's looking real janky. Handy script can render my shitty animation into every direction I need though so now I'll plug them into Godot and see if I can't make him face the right direction while he marches around.
>>495474414Mixmaxo is a thing, but you have to rely on their free animations or editing them. I looked at the Killer7 models and they are actually more complex than I thought. The textures are simple, but they do have lots of details.
>>495475518retopology on sculpted objects? heh, not a problem
Spent today giving functionality to my player chest inventory. Tabs. Switching tabs while holding an item. Swapping items. One more Grid System to add and then I'll take a slight turn into a save system, which is already 99% done, and then I'll tackle the quest and dialog system.
>>495475518Or pay $100 for (or torrent) quad remesher
>>4954759533d anon, do you know anything about compositing? I'd like to limit the number of colors in my renders so the AA/transparency pixels around the edge become solid. I fucking hate GIMP so much it's unreal.
When are you going to start actually making a game and stop doing half-assed garbage to try and impress people on here?
4 down 1 to go
>>495476278Compositing is kinda finnicky atleast in blender, I'd honestly recommend watching a couple tutorials to really understand how it works.
>>495475842Even low poly models from ps1 era have better quality than the devs trying to emulate them decades later.
>>495475408Is more proof needed?
>>495477125Was this taken with a cellphone?
>>495476362I wish I had an game idea that's within scope and actually fun
>>495471071if colliders in unreal are anything like unity, you should be using primitives if you are not already (box colliders, sphere colliders, etc) rather than complex ones for random trash like this
>>495470749>progressacheesements are working with the Steam API now
>>495477285Perhaps.
>>495477363it helps if you start with prototypes that wouldn't even be satisfactory as a full game, because then you can still show something off and it lets you get a feel for how big the scope would end up being
My game actually has an unique never-done-before game mechanic. Should I patent it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxkLMYmmWAghate him
>>495471071phasmophobia 2?
>>495477896patents cost money to file and uphold btw
>>495477646I have this 3D game idea but do you think it's worth starting in 2D first to get things setup faster?
>>495477125>>495477641I now understand why you think communism pig girl cartoon is attractive
>>495477393Nta but why a box over say one of those polygon colliders? Using unity as well
>>495477896Do it.>>495478235>upholdThen why doesnt Nintendo sue each company that uses one?
I think I learned my lesson bros. I'm done with trying to make real time action games outside of bullet hell type enemies (those are just boring).I keep trying for years and I can never make it past the AI phase.Ever notice how indie games with action combat tend to rely on bullet hell? That's because it's cheaper/less time consuming to produce new attack patterns. I played some roboquest and all of the enemies are variants of enemy with a projectile and it's boring.In the meantime I'm going to try one of the le quirky game ideas just to do something.
>>495477125>Sausage fingersThere are enough low poly fags here to say that a literal cube is all you need for a hand
>>495478235Yeah I looked up the prices and I can afford it. The uphold fee is actually very small, at the beginning it's like $50 a year. The biggest expenses seems to be the lawyer you have to hire.
Just. Like. Make. Great. Games.
>>495478713>Then why doesnt Nintendo sue each company that uses one?Because giant companies aren't stupid enough to go full retard with that, or they'll start drawing government ire and bait reforms for flagrant abuse.Granted we could avoid all that with sane practices and laws around them, but that's not for our clown reality
Guys... I uh... I don't like it here.
I hate lateral raises
>>4954785232d vs 3d is different but in 2d complex colliders depending on their shape just get stuck inside each other, or start going crazy in many situations trying to depenetrate when they can't. I haven't used 3d as much but I've still had stupid issues with things going through the floor when they are non primitives. It's also cheaper to do primitives in a lot of cases I think. Test both though for whatever game you are doing
>>495479106I don't either. Lots of absolute retards really dragging down the quality. I use this place to motivate me to finish features. But really, I should probably just start listening to Indie devs who actually make money, rather than a bunch of Bozo's making games that will obviously flop.
>>495478740The Lieutenant hands are 100% integral and necessary.
>>495477092It's all very impressive stuff, they mostly took shortcuts due to the PS1 not having certain things for hardware
>>495477559Did you use a guide?That's on my to-do list.
>>495474710Your design is awesome, do you have any more? I'm looking for game assets not sculpts though.
>>495478286
>>495479393In my case fast projectiles need to be slowed to avoid having them go through solid stuff or have their collider/raycast made longer
>>495476401Nice progress.
>>495478724why do you complain so much just take a break
>>495480805he's right tho
>>495480805It keeps happening, I dont know how to break the cycle. I want to make an action game but always give up when I start making AI.
>>495481125just stay banned
just realized i hate video games
>>495481032Why not just make builds per level like star craft. Make the illusion of AI. One build might be, rush in. Another might be to surround. Seems super easy. Then just make 30 different little maps with assets from unity store. Add some dialog. Add a twist to make it your own and unique and to pull gamers in. Seems like a pretty easy genre to make if you have the combat down.
If gambling isn't degenerate enough, try your hand at volatile void market.Your actions and your teammates will influence the course, you can help each other or be a greedy asshole and crash the market and take all winnings for yourself.The last machine i'm adding. On to destructibles now.
>>495482113Fine, I hope all Slavs die. Is that better?
>>495480151Thanks! Sculpting is just part of a process to making assets in my workflow, it will always be retopolo'd etc before being turned into a game asset. I do it for a livingHere's a rough draft sculpt I'm working on for a game that I will never make (because I can't program). It's called a World Bearing Tree, holds up the entire world underground and there are hundreds of them.
>>495482231Yeah, that’ll work.I like Slavic culture though, I don’t see why you’re so vengeful against them.
>>495481705I dont think I can do it with this one unless I start from scratch. I need to start from the very basics in order to actually learn level design but I don't know what genre would be good for this. Maybe a walking sim?
>>495481284It was a warning but that’s still low.
>>495482573Holy kino.
>>495482573>a game that I will never make (because I can't program).Neither can I. Use a visual scripting method to start, it's easier than you think. It also helps pick up a couple of the basics and makes it feel less paralyzing to later dip your toe into code.
>>495482573I'm willing to make a game with you if you can make more like this >>495474710
>>495482573>world bearing tree>is a treelet
How do you keep the magic going?gamedev used to be fun, now it just feels like an endless, tedious chore. I no longer get dopamine from it, and feel great dread about having to add new features and stuff.
I'm making a game.
>>495483275>and feel great dread about having to add new features and stuff.I only felt the dread when I both didn't know how to add things or how to ask the right questions on search engines to figure out how I wanted to learn things. Since then it's been a steady plod.
>>495483028Unreal is filtering me, I need to find a mentor who will sit and wrangle my autistic ass because all I'm good for is being an art monkey.A big problem with unreal was trying to figure out a good method for importing an entire world for world partition. I made a prototype demo that is a LOT smaller than my huge ass 6+ year project world and so far it's going OK with a nice bridge plugin and finagling.
>>495483445kek, exact same here.
where are the aggie cuties(xx)? i know they are out there
>>495483275>Play games that inspired your project>Get motivated>Work on it a bit>Lose motivation because you can't make anything as good>Repeat
>>495483515
>>495483275"The magic" isn't going to get you to get you to ship a completed commercial game. It will be hard. It will be a chore. It will be work. You have to either find the discipline to push through, because you want the results hard enough, or you have to trick yourself into working.
>>495482882Those subhuman apes don't belong in this thread.
Dont put time in making a game that you don't care about!
>>495482901One more picture of KINO for the road, I think I did a good job adapting the dragonslayers texture properly.
How do I make a map that's flat work?
what if i put a jukebox in my game with recordings of my out of pitch poorly played covers ?
>>495483608too familiar...
>>495484381make sure to create a character for that jukebox
>>495483275the secret trick is to just stop doing it for a while stop doing anything related to it and come back later or don't odds are your gamedev battery recharges every couple months even a week might bring your gamedev battery back up to 80% but it takes longer to go from 80 to 100 than it does to go from 0 to 80 just stop doing anything take a vacation
>>495481989make sure the value can keep decreasing indefinitely closer and closer to 0, else you can just wait for it to go back up again.for example, every second there should be a 50/50 chance of increasing value by 10% or decreasing by 10%. so even if you are very close to 0, it can still decrease by 10% if you just bought super cheap.this way variance can make someone rich or poor depending on luck
>>495484708this is the sped up version but you definitely can lose everything I'm using a stock market simulator formula to simulate market volatility and fluctuation and in multiplayer players will affect it by selling or buying, potentially ruining your investment. Way too much math went into this little gambling box but hey it's funny.
>>495483194I'm not currently looking for a joint operation, but I'm willing to help with blender issues in exchange for unreal engine help>>495483216I promise you, these are NOT treelets.
How do you guys gets funding for your game?

>>495483745lollmao, mayhaps
>>495485990Ah so your work at mconalds
>>495485619I work as an industrial electrician on night shift. It pays reasonably well and I do my gamedev at work when I'm not busy (which is most of the time).
>>495485970>meanwhile in unreal>right click>create new pcg asset>spend 10 minutes configuring it>infinite boss rooms
>>495485970Holy shit this game has some SOUL dude.
>>495486191I'm formerly a research roboticist. I didn't manage to find a new job after my company went under right before covid, but I have enough savings to keep me going for several more years as I try to make it as an indie gamedev.
>>495486253Damn its that easy?

4 hours handpainting on blender and I only have the face done.Not gonna use that method.It's too expensive and ineficient.

>making a jewish kingdom in an area shaped like israel/palestine>name it "secret kingdom">few days later, realize that it could be taken as a nazi dogwhistle when I suddenly remember all the "jews secretly run everything" sayingsfuck. already bad enough that I made the entire disputed plot of land theirs. might as remove the entire area and just have jewish people roaming around other areas>w-why do you have jews in your ga-kabbalah, magic game
>>495485970nice
>>495482573>how to impress 3dlets with little skill and fancy brusheslmao
>>495478724If I'm understanding correctly, you are saying that the attack patterns are extremely limited in these types of games? If so yes, I too have noticed that specifically with my 2D sidescroller. The combat is extremely limited due to the view. The irony that I chose 2D sidescroller over 2D topdown for the game. The gameplay's intent wasn't changing back then it was simply a choice on the view. Oh how terrible a choice I made. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Past me, why didn't you pick topdown! It's too late to turn back, I probably have 1000+ hours sunk into this game.
>>495485970woah, the environment graphics finally look good, the character models even fit in with the environment. idk about the seam on that pillar to the left and right.
>>495487351There's some depth you can add with the use of gravity and jumping. I'm saying it's a budget choice to go with bullet hell styles because your animations have to be on point after determining how many iframes are given to the player during a dodge.
>>495487671Do you have a tutorial?
>>495487915Nope what I said is purely abstract
>>495485970that skelleton has powerfull braps
I ended up taking 6 hour nap by accident.
>>495487671The thing is I'm trapped because it's side view. 10 enemies show up and they could end up stacked up within each other. One projectile you see flying at you is just 10 of them launched at the same time. Potentially enough to go down to 0 HP. Which is a bogus reason to get wrecked by since it only looks like 1 projectile. Having them separated means the threat of normal enemies goes down hard since they'll literally stand in a line to get to you but the two up front block them from getting within attack range.
>>495488585Implement a token system and small colliders on each to make them automatically stop each other from stacking.
peg prediction ball thing
>>495475536Cris you could've learned this like 10 years ago
>>495489445The more I try to use AI to generate assets for a game, the more I realize is much more cheap to use my own cheap style I developed before AI.Both hand paint and AI are much more expensive methods to my cheap workflow.
>The more I [schizobabble]
>>495489549Whenever I feel down about my own gamedev abilities, all I do is remember you exist. Then I feel strong and powerful again.Thanks, Cris.
>>495490273I need to figure out a new workflow for cheap high quality texturing.
Dungeon Watchers dev here, asking for feedback on how much I should price the game for an early access launch, the content the game will have is:>Around 5 - 6 characters, each with unique abilities>15 enemies and 2 bosses.>2 maps each with their own set of monster and additional difficulties (norma/hard)>25 weapons/spells>50 different stats upgrades>Around 60 Steam achievementsRight now I'm thinking of 2.99$ base price with a launch discount of 15% for a final price of 2.55$, game will be in this October Steam Fest and I plan to launch on November on EA.
>>495490341what do you mean by "cheap"
>>495490645that I can finish in less than 90 minutes.
Bros this refactor was making me want to slam my head into my desk but now that it's working my code is so fucking clean and now there's way less stupid shit I have to remember and everything is nice and neat and easy to use in the editor and there's not a bunch of weird redundancies and edge cases that make new bugs nigh undiagnosable.I haven't worked on my game in over a year and now that I'm back at it I'm just dumping all the architecture change ideas I've thought up in the meantime.
>>495490632add another map and it sounds fine actually
>>495490632imo, a game at 2-3 bucks has a "low quality" connotation, but at the same time you might get more sales.perhaps pricing at 4 or 5 but putting it on 50% sales
>>4954906324.99 is mostly fair honestlysure it's a shameless vs ripoff but it has a lot of cute art and looks like lots of dopamine, some bosses, and if you promise on adding a 1.0 version with close to double the content, etc, it's more than justified I think putting it too low, 2.99 sounds good in practice, right? cheaper game = easier buy! the thing is, people see something cheap and they assume it's going to be worthlessso even if you don't believe your game to be a 4.99 price point, you should still because if you do, other people will too now i wouldn't say anything higher than that for sure, it's a fine line to tread, but just know that pricing your game too low can be detrimental in the long run
>>495490632Solid plan. IMO, you can go a bit higher to $5, same as VS/Brotato, and do without any launch discount. It makes for better looking big sales numbers (e.g. $0.99 at -80%)

>>495490632I would have thought 5... in my currency, so 3 does check out.
>>495490632I'd say 4.99. 5 bucks is not a difficult dip to the pocket to make and your game looks better than what you usually find at 3 bucks so go for 5.

I have productivity anxietyBasically whenever I'm about to get my life together and do something productive, I panic and procrastinate and before I know it it's *checks time* 8pm and nothing's been done
Can someone help me fix this?
>>495488439>>495491513kek
>>495492731There's a part of your brain (forgot the name) that's responsible for making you do things you don't want to do. The more you do things you don't want to do, the better that part of the brain becomes at doing thing you don't want to do (so basically discipline). The more you avoid doing those things, the weaker that part of the brain becomes which makes it harder to do things you don't want to do. That's why it's hard to "get your life together" because your brain is used to avoiding things you don't want to do. It's not just willpower; your brain is PHYSICALLY trained to avoid taking action.But the good news is that the more you do things you don't want to do, the easier it becomes to do more things you don't want to do. So you can "train your way up" to being disciplined and hard-working by starting small. Now I don't know how messed up your life is but for example, say you don't shower everyday. Getting into the habit of showering everyday is easier (for most people anyway) than learning to code or draw or whatever. So at least make sure you shower everyday, get into the habit of doing it. If you already do then something else, maybe you don't brush your teeth every day, then enforce that. Or maybe you stay in your underwear all day because you never go out, then you don't take out the garbage because you're not dressed; then get in the habit of getting dressed every morning. Then you can add more and more habits over time.

>>495472684I read a paper a few years ago where they did a simple transitivity test for programming variables on a few hundred university students. Something along the lines of x = 3, a = x, b = a -> what is the value of b? Essentially, those students who could answer these kinds of questions without programming experience went to do very well in their programming and maths studies, while many of those who couldn't, dropped out. I started an IT degree in 2005, but dropped out after a year because I just couldn't grasp coding. To this day, I can't array iteration and REALLY struggle with memory allocation / deallocation. I really wanted to make games and decided to knuckle down and do a computer science degree in 2019. I struggled with discrete math and programming, but through repeated effort and failure, I graduated. I'm not a natural programmer like some of my peers, but I'm pretty good now. When I look back at concepts that made no sense to me 4 years ago (abstraction, generic functions, interfaces, etc.), they are now perfectly clear to me now. I don't touch assembly or C, because I know I'm not good at it, but anything at the C# / Java level I've got minimal issues. I tried visual scripting in Unreal briefly, but it was way too inefficient to get anything done. My advice, don't give up. Some people just aren't wired for coding, but it doesn't mean you can't learn and rewire.Webm related, recently wrote a data driven event system for my game.
Progress:Integrated the crafting menu to work with the code that manages menu operations. Awww yeah one of my biggest assumed hurdles is nearing the finish line! Only have like 3 big hurdles left that terrify me.>>495490632I'd say the pricing depends on how much content you expect to have in the game when it full releases. If say you wanted the final price to be $9.99 and the amount of content is double what it is now, then you should up the early access price to be $4.99. A jump from $2.99 to $9.99 for only double the content will likely be received terribly.What's the price you want it to be at full release? Also how much more content do you plan on adding on top of what you already put in? Does it flopping or succeeding massively affect this quantity of content? The majority of current content is plentiful but the map quantity seems to be limiting you really hard which makes pricing it hard.That ending scene, is that part of the main menu opening sequence, it looks really cool!
>>495494795effort + talent beats your nigga ass
it's so easy and fun to come up with characters and make art of them when I am playing dnd with my friends but when it comes to gamedev and I sit with a completely blank paper and no world or pre-existing pieces it feels fucking impossible to make anything at all. it's not like I don't have ideas but every idea of how anything should be like feels fucking stupid and bad

roughly decided on the main character and proportions, as well as the weapon he'll use for the game so I replaced Spurdo and quickly made a very basic model with skeleton and gave him a running and shitty jump animation.

So, EA launch at 2.55 is like selling it at 50% discount of the 1.0v price.Also, another reason I want to keep the cost low it's because I want to make it accessible for countries with low purchasing power, which is the reason I focused in optimizing the game since I started, and thanks to that, for what I tested, this game runs in an old computer with no VGA.

>>495503728well get good then
>>495480087There is documentation on how to do this on Steamworks, but the implementation is very simple. Here are the main important parts, I'm not going to paste the code for it here because if you are a Steamworks dev you already have it.1. Initialize the Steam API2. Hook up 3 callbacks using boilerplate code Steam provides in their example3. Add the function to pump the Steam API callbacks to your main game loop somewhere4. Use the API RequestStats function when the game starts up and you have initialized the Steam API5. When a player unlocks an achievement, use the SetAchievement API function + the StoreStats API functionEverything you need to make Steam achievements work is available on Steamworks in the example game code that they provide for testing.Signing up for Steamworks is free, but putting a game in the system for testing is not. You get your submission fee back as soon as you make $1000 in sales.I hope that's enough info. If you reach the point in your project where you need help integrating the Steam API, reach out to other yesdevs in the Discord, in the Steamworks discussions, or through Steamworks support itself

What's a good genre to learn 3D level design? Walking sim? Horror?
>>495504369>There's no way Artic Eggs dev was like heck yeah I love heckin flipping eggs!

Added a PhysX backend to my new engine for a side project. Returns a nice Handle<RigidBody> type which makes it so easy to track all of them in the ECS world.I actually have a unique idea for this game, unlike my primary project.
>>495504526Weird question because obviously a platformer is different from a walking sim. The Witness is top tier 3D level design, but it's a puzzle game.
>>495504609I mean to get started in actually doing it myself.
>>495504732and that unique idea is?
>>495504753The final goal is making an a shooter but when combat is involved things get complicated, I kind of just want to practice making interesting structures and possibly looping paths.
>>495504925Not really. It depends on the combat. If it's a wave shooter, you can just have the enemies come from a void and the rest of the level is a circle. CoD zombie kind of stuff. DOOM is proof that shooter level design is basic enough to get started with and complex enough to spend a lifetime on.
>>495504824yeah, playing a lot of (hopefully competently made) games is the fastest way to get an understanding of how to do it correctlyyou have to actually look at how stuff works and dissect it, though. go play mario 64. go play spyro the dragon. go play halo 2. look at where the developers put things. think about what it would take to implement the things they do.play 2d games too. you can learn more about 3d design from playing Ori then you'd learn from watching other people play games. it has to come from your intuition about what makes the path to the objective fungo try bomberman 64. learn what feels good and what feels bad. ask yourself how the levels can be sequence-broken and whether or not the player experience is negatively impacted by that. examine how they link the levels together.go play conker's bad fur day if you want an example of anti-design for 3d. cbfd is the golden standard for doing it wrong, despite Berri's spectacular ass

>>495505298Is there a reason why you're mentioning really old games? I have hundreds of hours across games with great level design but even analyzing it I feel so lost when I actually start doing it. Mainly because I can't conceptualize blockouts.
>>495505745the limitations of older systems make understanding their implementations easier because the constraints forced developers to rely on simplicityif you want an exercise in 3d design, reimplement a short level from one of the games you enjoy, then improve it (or fix it)
>>495505745>is there a reason you're mentioning really old games?Because we live an evil world where the good guys lost and games have literally become worse over time

Is character customization too hard in Unreal?
>>495506081I started writing this engine last night. Maybe a game will come soon

>>495506992As a solodev, yeah. If you had a team, you could just have a code monkey make your C++ and tie them back to blueprints.
>have to make placeholders for placeholdersit's so over
>>495507053The issue I think I'm running into though is sorting C++ classes. Like in Morrowind when you create your own character class. All those skills are pure code but then in order to be able to click on them you need blueprints. Seems hard. Have any /agdg/ devs made RPGs?https://youtu.be/TlICY3rK3Ss?si=yP3u1RdYj4IMk35C
>>495491763Cris, by practicing to get better at something without shortcuts you also get faster. Experienced artists can draw really good stuff in just a few minutes. By doing what you're doing, you may be getting faster but you're not getting better, you could've used that time more productively.

Guys, here's I'm doing thing in Godot and got puzzled. So there are games like Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, Crosscode and Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II with a pseudo-3D platforming.Is there a near-perfect solution for such multilevel structure? Can I make like a heightmap-tileset which offsets the sprites of other tiles it covers?
>>495512019i don't know what you mean by godot supports tilemaps for easy z-indexing stufflayers and masks let you decide collisions for walking and whatever

>>495510071cyberbooba
>>495506696Both are true, being easy to understand doesn't mean there isn't any skill expression. Ow makes it really hard to play wrong, every corridor leads back to the main path which has set points of resistance where there aren't great flank paths (maybe extremely long, bad angle, or only some characters can access), but once the objective gets past that choke the options open up again for more dynamic positioning but generally still just lead to another angle in that area.Basically funneling everyone in the match to the objective from the correct direction. This combined with the most of the characters being designed to only be functional when "doing their job" makes the game very accessible and easy to start playing.

>>495519597the new CEO is going to write better code? the new CEO is going to completely eradicate Unity's culture of constantly shipping new bugs (and old bugs that they bring back from time to time)?
>>495507659>all these replies saying this looks worse than MarmoGenuinely can't tell if you guys are being toxic positive crabs or are really that deluded. This thread is nuts.
>>495517415>still not even close to UE from a technical pov>still not even close to godon't from a convenient/productivity pov>all the eye candy features are irrelevant to solodevs and indiesAll AA/AAA companies switched to UE, hobbyists and indies are switching to bugdot. Unity is still great for mobile shovelware and gacha since they have all the sdks and toolchains ready to scale.
>>495520498what's so convenient and productive about godot?
Whichever engine has the fastest compile times I will switch to. So far Unity 2019 is at 5 seconds.
>>495519302Yandex: The Looker
>>495507659....I wonder what would've happened if they released before Marmo. Same genre but I don't think it's fully in the same subgenre. This kind of stuff is scary, imagine putting your game but then one with a huge marketing budget takes any potential interest from yours by bombarding with ads of theirs.>>495518969You simply can't not easily at least, my solution, a time machine. Go back to 2012 with a copy of your game, the engine, and any other things you use for development. Enter Steam Greenlight, the games coming out back then, well lets put it this way I'm sure you'd get approved.
>>495520991gdscript is an interpreted language, so it doesn't need compiling
>>495520498>still not even close to UE from a technical povUnreal also has some technical downsides, especially in regards to anti-aliasing. Unity has kept MSAA alive and made it better in recent years. I don't use HDRP but in URP you can finally achieve essentially flawless MSAA that is NOT disturbed by real-time shadows any more. I don't know how they did it but MSAA is genuinely viable in a modern looking game and this is only true in Unity.and the elephant in the room is of course performance. you have to fight Unreal every step of the way if you want your game to not run like shit, stutter and have input delay. in Unity performance is perfect by default and you can then take steps to ruin it if you want to.>still not even close to godon't from a convenient/productivity povyes because godon't is still nowhere close to catching up.>all the eye candy features are irrelevant to solodevsUnity offers plenty of visual features Godot sorely lacks and being a solodev does not change that. in fact I would argue that being a solodev it's especially important for me that these things are there out of the box or easy to obtain as assets. unlike a big team I do not have the time and energy to do a ton of sidequests like investigating how to create a certain graphical effect. I can only justify that kind of work when the effect is critical to my game's visual identity, so to speak. any non-essential effects will be there only if the engine makes it very easy for me. Unity's post processing suite and lighting features are big arguments for a solodev to use Unity over Godot.
>>495519302Bing>Tiny Combat ArenaBing>Penguin HeistWahoo>Your Only Move is HustleI think these are all solodevs too
>>495521116Them releasing earlier wouldn't have changed a thing, Marmo flopped either way.
>>495507659how in the hell did this get millions of dollars

>>495518969I wonder if the two cakes thing will help you. Assuming it works here like it did with Vampire Survivor clones. Though idk if it's applicable here.>>495520412Sadly this. They have the budget, no need to feed him lies, that'd only make me feel bad especially when it's this obvious.>>495519471So you have a team right? Next you'll say>I'm built different
>>495521440That's enough for me to try it out and see for myself.
>>495521885btw i'm fairly certain that as your unity 2019 project grows larger and larger your compile time will get longer and longer with iti heard stories of people having to wait entire minutes for their 5 year old project to compile
>>495522025What does compile mean? Hitting the play button in the editor? Building it as an exe? My project has been around for quite sometime but it "compiles" quickly. Though I have a rather good CPU and GPU
>>495520412it looks better than marmo, but it doesnt look goodit looks like league of legends (a 15 year old game) but shittier
>>495522146In Unity, **compiling** refers to the process of converting your scripts (usually written in C#) into a form that can be executed by the game engine. There are two main stages where compilation happens:1. **Script Compilation in the Editor**: - When you write or modify C# scripts in Unity, they need to be compiled into bytecode that Unity's runtime can execute. This happens automatically whenever you save a script or make changes to the code. Unity does this in the background without you explicitly hitting a "compile" button. - If you have many scripts or complex code, the compile time can vary, but it typically happens quickly on powerful hardware (like yours). 2. **Building the Project (as an executable or other platform)**: - When you hit "Build" (or "Build and Run"), Unity compiles the entire project, including assets, scenes, and scripts, into a standalone executable or package for your target platform. This process is much more comprehensive and takes longer than script compilation.When you **hit the play button** in the Unity editor, Unity does not recompile your scripts unless there have been changes. It mostly just enters play mode, initializing your game based on the current state of your code and assets.Since your project compiles quickly, it is likely because:- You haven't made significant code changes that require recompilation.- Your CPU handles these tasks efficiently.The real test of build times would come when you create a standalone executable or deploy to a platform.
>>495522146compiled is when computer prebuilds the thing for you so it can runinterpreted is when the instructions are read on-the-fly by the game program like Lua
is boku still around?
I just downloaded Godot after using Unity for 5+ years. How good is the C# and will I have to deal with compiling after every change if I use this instead of GDscript?
>>495522536gdscript is godot's main strength.
>>495520641Nodes lead to blackboxing whatever you're trying to implement letting you prototype quickly and go lower level if needed with gdex, I first started using bugdot just for jams and now look at me.>>495521543Unity games are literally known to be poorly optimized, in fact having the unity splashscreen is a turnoff for many players on steam, they even had a curator that would call out unity games just because of perf, the rest is just delusion. The UE toolchain is just too good and lets you go above and beyond as a solodev/small team whereas unity brings you down if anything.It's not like unity has no redeeming qualities but you pretty much have to be relying on a specific sdk or ad network to use it for a new project in 2024.
>>495522949>and now look at mepost game?
>>495522536Godot wants C# to be its main language along with gdscript for scripting, however C# is in a weird state because of microsoft pajeets being retarded. They switched away from mono since it's getting deprecated but they switched too quickly as the newer versions are not ready for production especially when it comes to crossplatform.Gdscript as the main language is fine for small games and hobbyists who don't care about finishing a game like >>495522580 however you can use both and only use gdscript for very simple stuff or use cases where you need to have stuff on the editor, as long as you don't care about mobile and web current C# implementation is fine but it lacks documentation is many areas (networking especially) so you gonna have to follow a gdscript tutorial.
>>495523251The reason why I'm hesitant about using GDscript is that I'm taking courses for C++ and don't want to build bad habits. The convention for C++ and C# are similar enough that I'm fine with swapping between the two.
>>495499294cute game
>>495523410>I'm taking courses for C++then why not use unreal? I'm not being a shitter I genuinely don't understand, I thought c++ was the whole thing with unreal
a lot of people rag on c++ for being "too hard" or "too complicated" it gives you a ton of powerful tools and expects you to not be a retard in exchange for having access to everythingi've used c++ and c# in professional capacity and although c# is good for small projects and rapid prototyping - that has only ever been the case for windows development environmentsby contrast, in linux dev environments we usually used c++ with something like QT framework for handling ui boilerplate stuffpeople give c# too much credit because they often have some other babyproofed UI form designer solution alongside it to mask how much of a clunky piece of shit it isi recommend just using c++ and ignoring c# people unless you plan on scraping webpages as part of your game, since that's the only place where having something like .net framework is going to make your life actually easier
>>495523410It's fine, just think of gdscript as pseudocode that you can then translate to whatever if needed. The C++ bindings for godot are excellent btw
>>495523650Do you also recommend people to make their own engine?The type of person who should use C++ for their game, is not the person who would ask it online. If you HAVE to ask, you are 99.9999% of situations better off using the simpler option.I use C++ at work but I work on fucking 10 years old projects that are continuously updated by hundreds of programmers, we have our own implementations of shared pointers and other conveniences that come by default in C#. I wouldn't recommend it to someone for solo dev unless he knows exactly what he's doing, like the Factorio devs for example.
>>495507659This game looks nothing like Marmo, I don’t know what you guys are talking about. >Hurr all anime games look the same
>>495523842i do recommend you make your own engine, and i have been for the project i'm working onif you're not going to make your own engine though, there's still a lot of benefits to using c++ if you are actually competent with it
>>495523650you're retarded c# is great for gamedev because shartcrosoft works hard on it and it makes for highly performance moddable game, you sound like a /g/ enginetranny
I love c++I dont know how to think outside of it anymore.
>>495522294Ahh i see thanks for the info.>>495522301Uhhh you were kinda confusing desu i assume you mean lile the other anon where stuffs ready to go and i simply hit the play buttom/opening the game up
>>495524115do you love c++, or unreal's safety netted c++?
I told you guys that if you want easy money you should buy some 3D asset bundles and make "random obscure job simulator" shit. But nobody listens, and then they cry why am I poor, why don't I have the vision waah.
a lot of people rag on rust for being "too hard" or "too complicated"it gives you a ton of powerful tools and expects you to not be a retard in exchange for having access to everythingi've used rust and c++ in professional capacity and although c++ is good for small projects and rapid prototyping - that has only ever been the case for windows development environmentsby contrast, in linux dev environments we usually used rust for handling kernel stuffpeople give c++ too much credit because they often have some other babyproofed UI form designer solution alongside it to mask how much of a clunky piece of shit it isi recommend just using rust and ignoring c++ people unless you plan on scraping webpages as part of your game, since that's the only place where having something like c++ third party libraries is going to make your life actually easier
>>495523410godot itself was written natively with c++.gdextension allows you to create your own classes and nodes and stuff directly with c++c# was badly crammed on top of it to please unity refugeesuse gdscript for basic stuff, and c++ for performance heavy things
>>495524260both I actually didnt know where to begin when I first tried unreal c++ so I was using blueprints but they became too cancerI used to only code in c for years so i aint never scared
>>495524306Where's YOUR obscure job simulator game?

>>495527654I'm just a nobody buy won't he end up making a few million on this based on the current trajectory? I guess it depends on rev share deals they have if they went with a publisher. Seems like it did alright. This dude is a genius of level and architecture design, but the game itself looks boring. So it's kinda impressive how much it sold without a solid foundation.
>>495528369Same anon, just to add. When looking at the preview video, it barely shows what the game is. It seems like a lot of the presentation was like, hey look at us, we are like stardew but more refined. But you're kinda left wondering, what is the core mechanic of this game exactly? Like ok you're a chef, but very little chef game play is shown. I'm making a game similar to this but will make it very clear what's going on.
>>495528654>we are like stardewIt's very clearly not a harvest moon clone, not sure why you would namedrop one. The combat/gathering food to cook looks boring because it's just a random animal running at you instead of a proper hunt like in say monster hunter.
>>495527654>>495437207
>>495529606The vibe is clearly based on the comfy vibes set in place by Stardew. It shows off the player schedules, talks about building relationships with npcs, it's all very Stardew-ish. And even the art is Stardew art transformed by a professional. But yes, it is clearly not a clone, but that's why I mentioned it doesn't clearly display what it is. What are the chef mechanics. If I'm not planting food what am I doing? Of course I can fish (like stardew) and hunt (basically a stardew mechanic in spirit, like it would be completely at home in stardew), so what's going on in the kitchen?This is just a minor marketing complaint. I really respect that dev and have learned from him.

>>495530907Right, I can see why you'd say that. I think about it like this. If Stardew added a restaurant DLC, you know, a Warioware like mini game, to the overall game of Stardew valley, how similar to Chef RPG would it be. It would be the exact same game. The EXACT same game. Dating, npc schedules, a town, little areas to explore. It would be the same game. It would look the same, sound the same, feel the same.

>>495538273Well, that's just for max appeal. It's not NEEDED, it's just a cheat code.

L, RATIO, GOT NO BITCHES!" because being "le quirkly" is a clear substitute for counter arguement.This "ping pong" switch between "moralfagging" and "U MAD BRO" was prevelent even in KiwiFarms types.Wonder what happened to all of those "cool guys of the internet".

>>495537885Trying to reason with emotionally driven cattle is as big of a waste of time as complaining about anime on an anime imageboard, Just do your thing and work on your game and let them virtue signal if that's how they think they're batman.

>>495538551it is a certainty that spits in the face of scientific method while also upholding previous results which can be attributed to sciencealso you stupid simp, it is safer to always assume it is just men in here because i'm not a, as emil cosman would call it, a baboon
>>495538453>Putting "media literacy" retards and lolicons in the same groupNigger, "media literates" are the ones that bitch about sexuality unless it's "the good, queer friendly type" with fat bearded men and meme muscle girls."Media literacy" comes from Troll's Remorse havers overcompensating for treating games as escapism before they decided they care too much about politics.That's why every take about media literacy is "this anime from the 80's has the same views I picked up from Tumblr, you heckin chud!".Most lolicons nowadays are always guys on 4chan casually throwing "fag" as a suffix in various words.Internet lefties are all about "good PR image", why would they associate with loli, unlike reactionary rightwingers that still suck up to Metokur to this day?
>>495533216Cute
I'm so fucking sorry bros I was getting frustrated and I fed my code to a robot for debugging...
>>495538792didnt read, you care about fiction and thats that, mayo cracka troonie

I have Unity right in front of me. What do now?

E.g. being too weak to wear heavy armor makes it slow you down, but you still get the protection.>do not use hard tiers of equipment upgrades. Give different material tiers more of an identity through unique benefits and tradeoffs, and just have a general progression curve from good to bad. Higher tier heavy armor may not be immediately worthwhile if it impacts other stats
>>495542820how much you earn? i can pay for you to leave an hour early and show me
>>495541786>what is the *proper* way for codelets like me to start learning?You take a week, or some weeks, to just do non-visual programming. Pick a language, learn about Hello World, functions, types, recursion, etc. Then solve Project Euler challenges - not the math-heavy ones, just the easy ones in the start. Until you feel you understand how to approach an algorithmic problem with code and how to structure your approach.Then - if you must - move on to Unity. If your stick dude is 2D though, I would recommend using a lower level basis such as SDL2 or a python or js engine. You will learn much more that way, and it is plenty sufficient (even simpler) for a 2D jumpy thing.E.g. look at this entry from last DD made with SDL: https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-58/rate/2685956

>>495543583I was being sarcastic the 50 strength rock character sounds cool? Wait actually I guess they'd be diamond boulders because they'd have lower con as well. 60 points seems like a healthy amount to spread around 6 stats when starting out so 50 str 10 con 1 in everything else.

>>495543096Well, use the free one. Programming is basically just string, int, rarely float, dictionary, hashset if you're feeling spicy, sub classes to avoid tuples, and sometimes some basic inheritance. Like an itemBase class that all items inherit from. That's 95% of what you'll be doing if you're just making a game and not making your own engine. Use tutorials for most of this, ask chat questions along the way. I don't recommend random tutorials that teach one thing. Find a tutorial that makes an entire game in a genre you're interested in.

>>495545367a hobby is something you spend money on, did you?
>>495545367the best part of gamedev is that there's always a newer level to be reached, something unexpected to learn.It's trully the most dificult artform, but also is very rewarding.

It's kind of rich people crying about yesdevs and no devs when essentially all the games here are terrible. Like why don't any of you have a game anywhere near the level of Stardew. Or ChefRPG. What are any of you fucking doing.

>>495546189post game then
>>495546258>>>
getting 600 wishlists tomorrow would make me happy
>>495544610I think getting too granular with the equipment system is only worth your time if you're going to be giving players a paperdoll character, or if you're doing something like Diablo with RNG modified equipment and relying heavily on grinding over actual scenario/encounter design.
>>495546292Why. What does that benefit me.
>>495546189This, it's really pathetic lol seems like everyone here is sniffing their own farts jerking eachother off and meanwhile their "game" is 99%* ideas guy shit they are spouting, and not learning, and certainly not making
>>495546189Why are you upset about amateur hobbyists doing something they enjoy?
>>495546420I don't believe in game dev as a hobby. Unless you're already rich and just killing time.
>>495545123actually solid game, is pressing multiplayer supposed to crash the game though

>>495546189>What are any of you fucking doing.Most people here are still learning software and tools (assuming they're devving at all). People who have been devving for a few years move into other communities and take that higher-level, project-specific discussion with them.Yeah there are a bunch of useless faggots itt but this is still a good place to crowdsource lower level discussion and shop for answers to noob problems.
>>495546547thanks and yes i cut most of the game out this is just a demo
>>495546540Why do you think your opinion on what is/isn’t a valid hobby holds any weight at all?
