nigga i am about to
I am sad and bad at making game. But at least I have one.
>>495591106That's the spirit.
What's the point of downloading books to learn game development when the publishers don't even upload the example code?
>>495591106grats
>>495591106It is better to have no game than to have a bad game.
>>>/int/202568202Cris do your part as mi parce and bump my thread.
>>495590946better to have no game than twitter screenshot.
>>495591194It's easier to have a good game once you have a bad game.
Compile times in Unity can vary widely depending on various factors like the project size, complexity, and the specific code used. However, generally speaking: Unity 2017 is often cited as having faster compile times compared to later versions due to fewer features and optimizations that were introduced in subsequent releases. Unity 2018 and 2019 introduced more features and improvements, which sometimes led to longer compile times.That said, newer versions (like Unity 2020 and beyond) have made significant efforts to optimize compile times through improvements in the scripting backend and other enhancements. If you're concerned about compile times, it’s best to test with your specific project, as performance can vary widely based on your setup.For the fastest experience, consider keeping your Unity version updated, as optimizations are continuously made.
>>495591334Shit, you got me there.I suppose once you have made a bad game you become obligated to make a good one.
>>495591194making a bad game could be a step in the road to someday make a good game. No game means you're nowhere closer to eventually having a good game.
Other than derek lieu, what are good trailer making resources?
>>495591194>>495591334Some people will actually play a bad game over no game.
Do not use other people's assets if you want to make good games
max cheesemax gore
My game is only bad relative to other games. it's quite good compared to getting beaten with a stick.
Lolidevs are not devs until they release something. How long has Kannadev been tinkering with the exact same model?
>>495591771https://store.steampowered.com/app/2406770/Bodycam/This whole game is an asset
>>495591812pulling a cosmic call I see
>>495591875I said if you want to make *good* games dumbass
>p-polish is bad because it just is okay?! you have to constantly be adding new systems like me a coder! no I-I don't care that they're not finished! it doesn't matter!
>>495591827DD59 trust the plan.
This date with the Bocchi's is going well but one is stuck in the sliding tube at the McDonald's play place. Me in the front left btw.
>>495590946>AI will soon be advanced enough to allow hordes of Indians and Nigerians to start flooding the market with their prompted games, irreversibly damaging the indie scene
>>495591539Yes, you must atone your sins
>>495592339We've been saying this since gpt3...
More riveting trash collection gameplay for those so inclined. I know this may be retarded and small to those of you who know what you're doing but going from nothing to this is very satisfying to me. I managed to figure how to set it up so that you could, if you WANT to carry the full garbage bag mid screen like all other physics objects but if you want it out of the way you can carry it "equipped" in the other hand. Still keeps the function of the other carrying method too, can't run while hefting it and it won't let you pick up other stuff.
>>495592592Finally the garbage game I've always wanted.

>>495592726House Party Clean Up Simulator 2024The germans will love it.
Is having too many hobbies considered Multitasking (writting, drawing, game deving, etc)? Or multitasking is doing two or more things At the same time?
where is that aggie cutie that likes milkers ?
bocchi general
When making your game, remember to follow your passion. This is what pic related did (filled his work with every single passion and deranged fetish he had) and people love him for it.
>>495593060Isn't he super slow on updating the manga though?
>>495593060this anime good ? started watching it but got kinda bored
>>495593143It's good if you like to sexualized children.
>>495591329Dark Souls and Getting Over It are not hostile to the player the same way F&H is. In Dark Souls, if you know what you're doing you will win every single time. Same thing with GOI. In F&H, even if you know the game like the back of your hand, you can still get fucked over with literally no fault of your own because you got unlucky.
>>495592890Won't they dislike the idea of having to clean up the mess of others who had a party while they didn't get to enjoy it? Wait a sec, do Germans even "party?">>495592909I think various anons here like big milkers. As for which ones are cute.....>inb4 anons referring to the femanon that's not homo but thinks big tits are great
>>495592568Ye, it's the same as with books. Publishing platforms are forced to adapt to the flood of slop and filter out the trash. My bet is that Steam Direct will see some changes in the coming years.
>>495593135That's because he's dying of hypertension. Considering how detailed his art is, the slowness makes sense.
I think I might have sleep apnea. I've never experienced fatigue like this before in my life and it's been getting worse day after day. I've been trying to increase my sleep to counter it, but now I'm sleeping 10 hours a night and I'm still exhausted during the day. Anyone here had to deal with this? What can I even do?
>>495593543Buy a CPAP machine, and lose weight.
>>495592892the latter
>>495593543Get more fresh air. Also see a doctor.
1. No it won't. AI fags think everything will improve at the same pace forever and that's stupid.2. Thirdies have been doing this for like a decade because asset stores exist and they just flood steam with asset flips.>>495593432Filtering out the flood of slop is already what steam does, no matter how many tens of thousands of games get submitted to steam, steam only ever promotes or recommends 600 of those games.
>>495593543sleep on your side
>>495593672>and lose weightThat's why I think it's sleep apnea. I'm in perfectly fine health and exercise regularly. I've never been overweight before in my life.Jesus Christ I thought I posted this on /fit/, not here. The brainfog is insane, every waking hour feels like running in a dream.
>>495593543You're stressed. Stop making a game.
>>495593908Steam just burying unpopular games is not enough.
>>495594062It literally is tho.
>>495594062Yes, it is. If you think otherwise you're showing your lack of confidence in your own game. Make something of high enough quality to get past the filter.
>>495592275It's not over yet Marmo, even if you worked for 10+ years just to have the government and steam take most of your money, you can still goon like you always do, but playing a mentally ill bitch won't cut it, just like make game man.
How do I into No Man's Sky world gen?
>uhh vector graphics can't be fast because uhh securitywhy post anything if you don't know?
>>495593506why not hire people to do it?
>>495594518explain better then retard
>>495592339If you're afraid of losing to Poojeet proompt slop then your game isn't very good to begin with.
>>495594518proof anon was wrong?
>>495594715i made it up
>>495594675Post game then
Creating a 2D vector-based graphics renderer would actually be a justification a custom engine. Engine devs, where are you?
>>495594939Feeling called out?
>>495594654>>495594715the premise that vector graphics is too slow to be used is bullshitthe premise that flash was fast because it had vulnerabilities is also bullshitwhat is there to discuss?
>>495595224>uhhh he is wrong mkay?!retarded monkey explain how he is wrong or shut the fuck up
>>495595224You refuted nothing.
>>495595172Feeling gameless?
>>495595505Nope. Not only do I have a game, but my game > your game because it's not losing to literal slop.
>>495595606Then post it you coward.
>>495592339>>495593432I don't say this out of fear of certain people lurking this general but I have unironically considered buying multiple steam app ids incase they revert back to the steam greenlight process but with a stricter set of requirements>eliminating how many indie games can be approved by the process eg 10 a month max>so many indie devs now that the only one's getting approved show signs of generating at least $1m worth of profit for steam otherwise rejected$5000 worth of app ids is nothing once the deluge of gamedevs is suddenly filtered by a move like this.
>>495595425what do you want?
>>495593060that style looks a lot like UI-dev's style.
>what do you want?
I have decided that Pacifica combat style is taekwondo, which fits her personality perfectly.Gotta look up Rosa, but pretty sure she would have to have a dancing style instead.
>>495594957I tried to do this like 10 years ago. It was a "line art engine" following illustration techniques. It doesn't really make sense to do anymore, now that I know much more about VFX and shader programming, since you can get roughly the same visual results with traditional textures and polygon models.
>>495595946a list of games that have vector graphics? is that what you want?
i don't like girls, what's the best engine for people like me?
>>495596137Unreal Engine.
>>495594957just use sdfs
>>495595696>steam spends years developing automated process for filtering and recommending games, based on tags, wishlists, external traffic etc...>yeh let's just scrap that whole algorithm thing and go back to a manual process for no reason at allretard
I don't like game development (But I love talking about it and making endless devlogs), what's the best engine for me?
>>495593254what exactly do you mean by a game being hostile to the player? idk if simple rng counts as being hostile since i was imagining something more like design purposefully made to simply annoy the player and screw them over. not something where it's rng that makes gameplay more random while also padding it, provided it's well done.>>495593506>That's because he's dying of hypertension.literally?>>495593543get checked with a doc before going the cpap route. i checked and sleeping on your side can help with sleep apnea but your back and belly are not as good. i guess sleeping on the belly gets in the way of the chest/diaphragm having an easier time moving? i've suspected sleep apnea for myself considering the times i've woken up gasping for air but i have a ton of anxiety that literally affects the manner in how i wake up. so i have to calm myself before falling asleep lest i wake up in a worst state. almost as if my anxiety has a festering effect on my physical wellbeing just because i fell asleep in an anxious state.

>>495597448>want to make low poly model...whyYou can ape the aesthetic without imposing those ridiculous hard limits on yourself3D modelers in the old days wanted to model individual fingers, lips, deliciously round asses etc. They weren't leaving them off just to strike a certain vibe.
Didn't get to working in blenduh but I started working on a test reference sheet for my JRPG classes. Should be less busy this week so hopefully I'll be able to chuck some of them into Blender and do some basic prototype modeling/texturing.
>>495598374I hate descriptions like that because realistically the smell of shit would overpower everything else. But you know the dev had to throw in semen for the edginess.
>>495599098sometimes, omitting details makes something more interesting
>>495597448Nigga wtf are you doing? Post model?Anyways low-poly is more of an aesthetic nowadays than an actual hardware constraint so it doesn't really matter if your polycount gets a bit high.

Damn forgot to take my lactose pills and now my farts are so foul its hard to focus on my game, goddamit.
>>495597286the most important mistakeno appeal
>you now realize no one has ever ripped out marmoreal's models to see how round the asses are
>>495599637Well the whole idea with lowpoly is you use the texture work to create or imply the details you didn't have the polygon budget to actually model.Post your model I actually want to see where all those tris are coming from. I mean I imagine its the face.
>>495599202You sound like an expert on the smell of shit mixed with semen>>495599642I'm lactose intolerant and I'm gleefully slurping down a Sonic's Cheesecake Shake (Large)It's gonna be a wild night
>>495597286the 5th hidden mistake is : Don't buy his course and dive head on starting your own indie studio by mortgaging your house and quitting your dayjob, drag your wife along and try to make a living out of your youtube channel because not only your games are crap, but you can't even finish them or even consistently hit your own self imposed deadlines.

Saw this and thought of you guys.

>>495600959Parent the switch to the door, alternatively you could cast to a specific instance but I've been told that's processor heavy and I'm too new to know the difference. Either way though, parenting might be the way to go. Worked for a similar problem for me.

More surprising than the people trying to "correct" writing are the people getting weirdly defensive over someone else's work. Don't you have a game to develop?
Is there any reason to NOT make everything in the game respect physics other than it being unnecessary?
>>495605126Where's your game? Why don't you little faggots ever present your own game first huh? We all know why.
>>495605150Realism != fun
>>495605150Nope, integrating fiction into realism is the highest form of fiction. Not EVERYTHING needs to be realistic but watching characters pull power out of their ass with the power of friendship and flimsy writing gets tiring fast.

>>495605649Nigga you need to be using balls and cylinders for organic meshes. Subdivide a mesh cube once to make a decent mesh sphere for your head and use low vertex count cylinders (6-8 is usually the minimum that will work well) for your torso and limbs.I still can't tell why your tri count should be so high for that simple of a model but good topology and workflow practices will make your organic/deforming models work a lot better.

dear fags, is it still worth posting on TIGSource?
>>495608168No. Everything dev internet related is dead as everyone slowly figures out youtube devlogs is the most successful way to make money and market your game and everything else is a waste of time.
Gamedev is actually not rewarding at all
>>495608264It is thougheverbeit.
Shut up Bokudev
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj7hYxXcFP8Pretty good video
>>495608258>free longform video content is the best way to gather an audience for your niche autistic hobby or tradeAre people still figuring this out just now?
>>495608264>>495608264>>495608264>>495608264
>>495608582
>>495608582yes, waste 30 minutes watching someone monitezing your dream retarded
>>495608598I'd prefer if you sent me a monthly magazine.
everyone and their granny is a gamedev now
>>495609389>anon can't even make a better game than random grandma #8390
>>495608264It's a sense of accomplishment.
>>495609389except for me of course
>>495597286I enjoy him talking to other devs. But I wouldn't take him too seriously. He focuses more on selling courses and youtube to fuel sales of said courses, than gaming. His games aren't good. BUT he did publish so it's not totally offensive like some youtubers who completely fucking fail and offer advice.
does this nigga even make good games?
>>495609389Isn’t it weird how none of the boomer devs passed on their game dev abilities to their children?
>>495609914I mean, he's a Youtube devlogger so talking out their ass while having almost nothing to show is par for the course.
>>495605331>>495605378>>495605671I was actually just asking about giving enemies and bullets physics instead of like a bullet hits them and they get "knocked back" via code. The game would behave the same
>>495610116Had anyone ever told you that you are bad at asking questions?
Incompetent whodevs giving off advice isn't just a Youtube thing. I decided to look at some Xitter gamedevs and was pretty apalled.>Dude talking smack about sloppers, apparently he's a CG professional>Game is generic pastel mobile city builder>Other game is described as """cozy""", can't tell what you do with it even looking at a trailerThese are the people with thousands of followers telling others what to do. They're also your competition, so take comfort in that.
>>495608258the frustrating thing about sharing game dev things on youtube is that 99% of people are retarded noobs who know nothing and just talk shit. they're useful for marketing gauges, but if you need dev feedback, it's not great. this is also true for 99% of game dev communities everywhere. basically, game dev is the subject with the highest potential to attract retarded noob types, which makes every place pure trash. anyone know decent enough places outside 4chan where one can find people who actually develop games and have at least some success with it? ===>What about creating a discord that only allows people who publish at least one game on steam or something similar? then we could have a score system of some sort that filters people out of groups based on each one's game popularity (sure, there are problems with that approach, but maybe it's better than staying in communities full of useless opinions...). what we think about that?
>>495609914>like some youtubers who completely fucking fail and offer advice.I know that's you Thomas. It's time to let Marnix go.
>>495607243
>>495610387great!
>>495610435I will now play your game.
>>495610116I'm with the other anon, you could've just asked a direct question instead of making a super vague non question that sort of relates to the topic. Anyway, physics based knockback can work well for ragdolls. Outside of that, you'd need to work with procedural animation in which animating things by hand might be easier.
>>495610435Don't give Youmu an axe she's tarded.
remember, a bad game can succeed or fail based on factors you're likely too dumb to comprehendbut a good game won't fail.
Brush's videos attract the worst type of people. They all revolve around:>Making millions of your first game without any experience>How to make games that will make millions>Quitting your 9-5 and making millions
>>495611247It motivates me. He's got some bozo on now who made some idiotic 2d side scroller and the guy made like 500k. His channel has me convinced becoming a millionaire is easy.
>>495611217There were games that I thought were DOA but ended up doing pretty well like Children of the Sun.
>>495611534This guy gets it.
>>495611534To me that's looking through meh games on Steam and plugging them into the revenue calculator.>See basic ass game>Plug numbers>"Wow these fuckers made 200K after deductions with THIS?!">Motivated againNow I just need to replicate a fraction of that success...
Serious question, who actually buys games that virtually have 0 exposure or reviews? There are tons of games with 5-20 reviews on Steam. You'd be better off spending that money on a well known game off the occasional deep discount.
>>495612058Before I would nobody, but youtubers do it now. Usually to make fun of the games.
When you start thinking about money alot of your le quirky ideas are no longer worth the risk.
>>495612204that’s why you don’t think about money
Thinking about money first and foremost is how you end up neutering your own game
>>495612419shhhhhh grifters never learn
>>495612419And they deserve it
>>495612056I just try and hold myself to the standard of games that sold like 150 million, like Stardew or Hades. I figure if I try my best to make a game of that quality, that I can at least make a couple million. I can't match the combat of Hades, but I just mean, overall look, lots of content, stand out in the genre I'm in.
To me it isn't a question of money vs sovl, I know my game will sell regardless.
Make 2 Million from your game (Eastshade) but be troondev wife?
>>495612824It will sell at least 1 copy because I'll support you
>>495610413>>495608258benefits:* opinions from people who know what they're talking about aren't buried by other useless messages.* a good place to give and get useful feedback.* built-in retarded filter* people in the group are probably more serious about game development and don't have questions about how to rotate a cube etc...will this work? any objection?
>>495612992/agdg/ stands together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saFPv7fJjNoFinished an hour documentary for kids about ballet dancing fundamentals.Now I realize that videogame movements should follow the same rules of dancing.And the attacks of a videogame character should follow the same rules as martials arts.Both martial arts and dancing should govern the language of motion in a videogame.
>>495613575you don't make magic with ice anymore cirs?
Yes Cris, I'm sure watching an hour of little girls dancing is all you needed to make good animations.
>Removed 30 minutes of gaming time to make assets>ended up making everything I need for tomorrownice
>>495613958already got what I wanted doing that.I already proved to me that magic is real.>>495613986Dacing is a language that is nothing more than memorizing the movements, which make the vocabulary of each dialect of it.Same shit with martials arts.It's about memorizing the vocabulary of each dialect.
I stopped making assets completely for the last couple of years. I used to make assets first and do half and half until I realized it's not worth doing unless you have a fun prototype.
>>495613986also, animating is easy when you have reference.

>>495614173>Dacing is a language that is nothing more than memorizing the movements, which make the vocabulary of each dialect of it.Congratulations, you discovered keyframes and tried to overcomplicate it.
>>495614709dancing is more than keyframes, is about expresing the vocabulary of the language in a similar way to poetrhy and music.
I just tested out a theory I've had, which I'm sure has been discussed before but it seems to work. If I convert all the png files in my game to pixel data, I can write the images as a buffer into the canvas pixel data, and instead of drawing a large number of small images, I can batch them into a single large draw call and save quite a bit of processing on drawing. It seems to save somewhere between 40% to 50% of the processing time when stress tested, but theoretically it would be even better because I can use a quad tree to strategically re-write only the parts of the buffer that need it.>captcha YPNGMY
Some AGDG'er randomly responded saying something like "That's cool, but have you listened to Falling In Reverse - Prequelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX0lhueeib8&list=RDEMfirC-sYS2rK49ZuNJqoj8Q&index=3I've never heard of this band.

>>495614264I'm dealing with that problem right now. How do I make my prototype fun? I feel like I'll never get to assets. Can a prototype be fun without assets?
>>495616668I don't give a shit about 4chan typos, lmao.
>>495608264the reward comes when its done and sells well or at least the sense that it simply is done and you can move on at least for me
>>495616981Thats what placeholders are for but this is one of the reasons why the 2 man artist + programmer combo is so good vs solo
>>495612056do you at least take into account the year it was released? a 1990s tier 2D platformer in early 2010s not only made a lot of money but even got Timmy to offer him being featured in the free games to download daily or weekly can't recall which.>game?VVVVV (yes thats the name)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVILaXvspcUI just realized that movement in videogames is less related to dancing and martial arts, but is closer to parkour.
>>495615184How much does it bloat up your game size though?
>>495615184why would it make a difference?
I need to get a job and be a wagecuck again. Ever since going NEET I switch projects so quickly and have have high expectations for everything.I think being a wagecuck again will help me understand what people want to play after they come home from their jobs. I'm too comfy right now or maybe I'm just getting older.
>>495617741just relax what the fuck is your problem
>>495617312I mostly look at games made 5 or so years ago, and usually not at the ultra basic games you could get away with 15 years ago. Something like Braid was successful in 2008 because the indie dev scene was practically nonexistent (Not counting the first gamedevs who practially worked from their garage like the Doom devs or japanese doujin devs) and making a platformer was the epitome of coding, same with Shovel Knight. Not that they're not good platformers but they would sink if released today. What I'm talking about is basic simulation or building games in the $15-20 and 250-750 review range.
>>495617646If I store the pixel data as jsons, which would be easy for access and modification, then it would probably add 50-100MB. But I could maybe get rid of the image files, and that would put it more or less neutral, maybe 20MB up. >>495617686I'm not entirely sure, but I think the number of GPU calls with a bunch of small drawings is somehow more expensive than one call to the GPU if I composite on the CPU in advance.

I just spent what feels like a few hours gathering many, many fonts and organizing a not-excel sheet with info on them. I'm not even done. I may have overdone it since how many of these will I use? But then what are the odds they suddenly disappear from the internet? Better to have them saved just in case I do want one that I currently am unaware of being something I'd want.I need to go work on my game before I break my streak of working on it without a single day off.

Did Thomas ever mentioned why his Tower game is an FPS? It's quite different from his older titles.
>>495625254kek the fuck? I just did that too.
>>495625402>can I still be an indie developer?nope, that's basically all you choose from. sorry nerd.
>>495625751I was going through a guy's patreon downloading all the free one's. It'd be easier if I wasn't cataloging the details but he's got repeat font's where additions/fixes were made. Found a few that fit other genre's but this is really slow. I had to separate by year to avoid the issue I got the last time I went through his patreon. Partly doing this as I've reached the phase where I should change out the font's to make sure some of my hopefully done for good UI doesn't need to be altered further.Well gotta go. I need to eat.
>>495625254>>495626339Just looked at the files! I spent about 4 hours on this. Sure I got up a bit but I think majority of the time was spent on this! I gotta take a break.
>>495625456Yeah was looking for one of the very limited good couch co-op game to play with my bro and I found CQ3. It was decent. Dialogue was fun, the little sound effects some NPC's made were cute, combat was pretty basic but still enjoyable and varied. Pretty short though, we 100% it after 8 hours. Solid game for the genre

Ok, so I can get the parent actor just fine and get the key to only open the door it's parented to, but going the other way seems more convoluted? I want to have a generalized "Door" object that checks what kind of children it has and use that to determine what will open it. That way I can set the door as the parent of a key or a switch or whatever else and have it just werk.I have this setup. the loop prints when it's done, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I actually want it to do, which is check if the child actors are a key or switch etc. I'm not getting any "true" output for the key that is the child of the door. Any ideas where I fucked up?

For each boss: Finished Boss Character Model - 160 hours Modelling, rigging, texturing Boss Animations, 15 attacks - 180 hours 8-24h per animation depending on complexity Boss Character AI - 160 hours Tons of designer iteration time, gameplay testing, "find the fun". Usually requires the time of multiple people. Audio design and rigging - 40 hours I'm not as confident on this estimate, but a week seems like the minimum time to do a quality job based on what I've seenDark souls had 13 bosses, so you'd be looking at 7500 hours worth of work just to get the bosses up and running - that doesn't even account for the conceptual stage for design and art to come up with the ideas in the first place - it also doesn't get you a player character to run around with, or a level to fight in.

I think I want to do something where the player can create things, though, not just watch NPCs interact. more along the lines of dwarf fortress, which is really the only game I know that combines strategy, simulation, and creativity in a way I like. Only problem is that due to its 2d nature, its hard to build truly cool looking things that you can actually see the way you can in a 3d "creativity" game such as Minecraft.I've been stuck on this idea for a while now and I know its well beyond my abilities, but I cant move on from it.

so i'm starting from nothing so obligatory faggot post but im using godot and doing that learn gdscript github course and so far i can make a 2d point and click slideshow with buttons for one days work, ultimately though i want to do 3d and i tried to follow the same steps but obviously there is just alot more that needs to go into 3d so should i just dive into 3d or continue to try and learn more about 2d?also for 3d stuff do i need software other than godot to model objects or can i do that in the editor? using the latest godot from the site, im going to get AI to texture the models but obviously i need to model by hand (lol) so how do i do that? for example i want to model some small huts for a test but i have no idea where to start with that using godot

Genuinely please help me understand why I dislike 3D action games.I want to like 3D action combat games but I just cannot. They're really no different from mindless beat 'em ups where you just move around and whack the enemy until they die... Souls-like, Sekiro, Kingdom Hearts, DMC, Genshit Impact, Elden Ring, Ninja Gaiden, God Hand, etc etc.They may have some additional mechanics or difficulties but effectively if you simplified it, you just press the same attack button until the enemy dies. It's so boring. There's no replay value. I beat the game once or maybe 2-3 times and that's that.I want to make a game that I myself can replay infinitely. So I'm drawn more towards roguelike like Slay the Spire, or even things like Deep Rock Galactic or Minecraft/Terraria.However, I look at 3D action combat and they look really, really cool. Like watch a Bayonetta combo video, it's super flashy and cool. It's just they suck ass to actually play.Why is this? Am I the only one that feels this way?
>>495631184>You don't really do that in an engine unless it's like a primitive shapeYes i just want to add a long rectangle for placeholder walls and also i want flat rectangles for floors, how do i do that in godot
>>495631378I don't get it. DRG, Minecraft and Terraria are all keep firing games.
>>495628835Ok but as a 1 man indie you're not doing that anyway so what you say is irrelevant. What you should be aiming for as an indie is:For each boss:Finished Boss Character Model - 24 hoursModelling, rigging, texturingBoss Animations, 4/5 attacks - 24 hours1-2hr per animation depending on complexityBoss Character AI - 24 hoursAudio design and rigging - 8 hours
>>495628835>Boss Character AI - 160 hourslol no
>>495631459Godot has CSGs for greybox prototyping.
Unity has killed an entire generation of indie games by making them switch to godot...
>>495631484I guess DRG is a very bad example since it has co-op. Co-op games are always fun.Minecraft/Terraria are definitely different because you build with your imagination. So way more creative. Although their combat is pretty bad.
>>495631737oh wow much easier than blender, thanks guy
>>495631776You didn't have it in your either way. Leave already.

making a game is too much effort, i think i'll just graduate to a nodev shitposter instead

>>495631776godon't will build by trial of fire the next generation of gamedevs.instead of having ready made plugins and asset stores people will be forced to make everything themselves. most will fail, but the ones who will learn will become better devs in the process
>>495592339Don't worry, the AI is also going to replace the Indian and Nigerian proompters. They've been collecting prompt data since the beginning. You'll be leeching welfare out of your first-world government, with its AI driven economy, and the shitholes will finally starve.
how do I into ui?I got an idea for a fun little game that's just based UI based but setting things up in Godot is fucking arcane, I have no idea what half the options do and changing something makes the whole root menu offset out of the screen size bounds so I need to go and manually reset it. Making a 3d game is way easier than this
>>495632381we're really down here in the trenches with an editor that isn't good for anything, and a bunch of features that suck fetid balls and are due for their third rewrite
>>495632236There is a game sitting at #11 on Steam top wishlists called Unrecorded with no release date. Instead, 2 kids cloned it in a few months entirely with UE store assets and advertised it as if it was the same game. Braindamaged realistic shooter cumsumers bought that shit up.

>>495632509Just make your UI using 3D meshes.
>>495632651Huh. Well, I gotta say I respect the hustle.
how does networking work with godot? any godot multiplayer games i can look at and copy their netcode? what node even handles netcode

>>495631867Don't use them, they're shit. They give unpredictable physics results.
One day someone will leak japanese action game AI. I'm convinced they all use the same framework to produce the perfect kungfu circle.
>>495632780ask bing AI
>>495631378I feel that way about hack and slash spectacle fighters because the enemies are just a moving Smash sandbag. Not with souls games though.But most video games are boiled down to just hit it until it dies
>>495633103Their game looks like soulless shit doe.
What I'm trying to do in my game has already been done and done better in 1998. I have no hope. But somehow I find that freeing. There's no point in fearing failure when you've already failed.

>>495600905I found it funny anon.
>>495617741Do what you think you must.Being a wageslave made me want to make roguelites with easy drop-in drop-out gameplay without a lot of story or exposition.
>>495633507You know physics is calculated on the collision meshes and not the renderer right
Modeling is pretty fun and easy if it's simple shapes.

>>495635687I know that you don't know what Constructive Solid Geometry means.
>>495635687TBF, It's Godot fault for having a such a pervasive noobie gotcha in not being able to handle transform scaling for physics objects. They warn you for certain things, but I don't think the warning is there for CSGs.
We are so back after taking a break for a day, we got a dope ass game idea.

>>495633741Exactly how I feel.Even Sekiro combat eventually becomes this when you get good enough and memorize all the boss patterns. Souls-like as well.Their first playthrough might be fun, maybe the second. But after that it becomes boring.As someone that wants to create a dream game where you can replay infinitely yourself, this is not a good thing. Especially if you created all the animations and know exactly how the behavior of enemies will be.Don't get me wrong.. watching Sekiro and Souls-like combat is incredible. But playing it is too boring (especially after NG+).
>>495636561Even a game like Shadow Warrior that found its humor directed at Asians had names Zilla Enterprises.
>>495637945It just sounds like you want to roll dice
>>495638051I don't know.I WANT to like 3D action combat games like DMC and Sekiro, because they just look SO, SO cool. But they just play SO boring.I was just wanting to know if anyone else shares the same feeling.
>>495637694Just look at Quake. It's all you need. They're extremely well done.
>>495638331No, I don't feel the same way at all. You must lack a soul.

>>495639258Extremely toxic community that spends more time sucking each other off than using the engine and prevents progress by refusing to acknowledge the engines problems. Their usual response to pointing out a serious flaw in the engine is either 1. make it yourself or 2. you're doing it wrong, without ever stating what the correct way is, because there isn't one and they just want to deflect criticism. They will straight up lie about the engines capabilities.
>>495633426yeah iktf for the most part. not being rich is getting in the way of my life. the amount the wage cage weights me down is tremendous
>>495633426The real life is already happening now, bro. Do today what you can, there is no tomorrow.
>>495630245Yes. I've done this. If anyone rips my game apart seeking social clout they'll realize you don't need to be some expert math guy or coder. The deluge of new devs swarming the field will grow evermore as the barrier to entry, in their minds, begins to collapse on a worldwide scale.>>495630925>>495633103Doesn't surprise me. More devs = more chances for an idea to come out the same.
>>495640187>why won't you handhold me>why won't you spoonfeed me>you're so toxic waaaaaI've had nothing but good experiences asking for help with Godot. Maybe, you're the one that's being toxic?

>>495640187>>495640415>>495640490>having to ask>not just reading the documentationlol, lmao
>have no plot or story to game so just end up working on random things
>>495640490I'm a professional software engineer and someone who "knows how to ask questions", so that helps a lot. I used to answer questions in the Godot Discord, but there's too many retarded kids there. Here isn't much better, but at least I can call you a retard if you're being a retard.
>>495627031it's very nice! thank you anon
>>495641076>Here isn't much better,I enjoy being called a retarded faggot if I deserve it. The honesty is refreshing.
>>495641076The problem with Godot is that because it advertises itself being so approachable (and because of GDScript) retards flock to it who don't know what they're doing in mass.It's the Unity splash screen problem but on steroids
>>495640971gameplay loop is more important
>>495641247It has a very low barrier to entry, but it's honestly not particularly beginner-friendly. One huge problem is that Godot tries to be "very flexible" and doesn't enforce "one way to do things", which is great for experienced coders, but terrible for beginners.
>>495641515what engine or even programming language does things in one way and only one way
>>495641578he means the nodes not the code you dumbfuck
>>495633874no textures = no soul
>>495641578Unreal is very "do things our way", and "our way" doesn't follow common software engineering standards, and so it takes a lot of headache to glue UE to anything external. Unity is better, but not as flexible as Godot. (i.e. There are set ways to structure scenes and prefabs, whereas Godot tells you to make up your own structure.) I haven't used other engines like GMS2 or RPGM, but I assume those are even more structured.
>>495602635These Bazz animations are the best thing to come from Concord holy kek!

>want to make a unique fps where aim does not equal cameras center>basically would be DoA because aiming with the center of the camera and the cross hair never moving from that spot is a convenience that shooter players are so used to that not doing it will actually just mean it's bad>when my dream is to make a slow fps game where you actually feel like you could fumble your shots as the enemy walks towards you and you can panic and miss like irlthe biggest joke of it all is that there actually is an accepted way of handling inaccuracy when aiming that is just adding random bullet spread unless you hold the aim position for like 2 seconds (like focus aim in re4 remake) but that's a fucking dogshit solution and I can't believe that's the accepted one simply because it doesn't destroy the notion of the cross hair always being the center of the screenlook at original re4 for comparison (I know, not an fps) where Leon's guns are always 100% accurate but instead the aiming reticle is decoupled from center camera position.anyway just /rant on a game i will never be able to make

There are no notable events that occur, no dialogue, nothing ever goes wrong except for smelly customers come in sometimes that you can spray with disinfectant so they don't offend your other clientele.As of right now the game is a manually operated cookie clicker where the only thing thats changing are numbers which grow exponentially and the look of items on your shelves changes every few hours I guess.What I'm trying to say is as of right now in the games development, the mechanics of the game by your 2nd or 3rd hour are all that therenis, it's the entire scope of the game.
why does /agdg/ get so mad about generative ai content?
>>495642979we need a nigger store simulator where you as a white man try to manage a store in a nigger areacrackheads will come in and steal, niggers will come in and steal aggressively, robbers will come and try intimidate the staff to get at the vault
>>495642693Isn't that literally how CSGO works?
>>495643094except irl white owners just let a jeet do that instead while he collects the profits
>>495642743coding games is just about the hardest programming task. its ui + java enterprise oop (if you use C#) or C + math + shaders (basically no programmer knows fuck all about shaders) + os dev + art.some buttons on a screen is like 99% of mobile dev / webdev, and that's the segment that employs the vast majority of devs, but when you compare that to gamedev, that's like only 5% the features a game should have.either you can get a jeet that'll steal some boilerplate and repackage it for you, or you can learn it yourself, or pay 250,000$ to get an actual competent programmer to do it (might not actually be competent)
>>495643232I know shaders. It's really not that hard once pull out enough hair.
>>495643232wait a second you are right, why the fuck am i not doing mobile games for money
>>495643150what? that aiming equals camera center? yes that's how every fps works, that's my point. it has lead to absolutely insane narrow-mindedness. if you're talking about bullet spread, csgo works the other direction where your first shot is accurate but then it increasingly spreads more and more so the ideal hold duration is 0.317 seconds and whatnot
>>495643308I'm not saying it's hard, i'm just saying only a tiny sliver of programmers know about them
>>495642693Halo's crosshair was below center.

>>495647443I do not care about the series at all.I find fromsoft games boring because there just nothing there but combat.You just go through a corridor clearing enemies and occassionally stronger bigger enemies and... thats it.
I laff at tards getting filtered by simple algo questionsKeep grinding that pointless shit. Once you stop shitting yourself at CS101 questions - I'm gonna start filtering you with database and OS questions every interviewYou're never gonna get a coding job as long as I have any say in it.

We're entering a new Indie renaissance of the likes of the first 'hipster quirky chiptune' age of Indie.It's going to be massive.Sure, we've had some hits in the interim age, but I'm talking Minecrafts and Stardews coming out. I'm talking new e-celebs being made.There are people here who will be named among Notch and Eric Barone.
Which icon do you think is best for a resource?
I have 9 years of professional experience in webdev and good on you. Keep the shitters out of my profession. I'm so sick of these "learn to code" retards trying to hop on the gravy train and diluting my wages. Indians are bad enough, now ChatGPT-dependent zoomers want to get in?

>more game devs is bad because it just is okay?! no i don't care that there's more good games every year! that has nothing to do with there being more game devs even if more game devs means more good game devs!
>>495649317Depends, what's the context of the UI?
>be nodev>have no game>not sure how to be someone>"hello guys, I have a unique sexual identity that is only shared with 50% of other gamedevs"
>>495649636It's a factory/automation/production game in space.
>>495644579It's hilarious because juan spends most of his time implementing shitty versions of flashy features unreal has so his evangelists can spread the word that godot can 'keep up with the big boys'.>unreal has automatic LOD>here's juan LOD, it reduces the polycount a tiny bit while making the object look like shit so it only kicks in when the object is too far away to matter>so I still need to make regular LODs...>unreal has global illumination>here's juan GI, it cuts performance by 200%, introduces all sorts of visual artifacts, makes shaded areas look pitch black and is unstable as hell>so you can't actually use it in a game...>unreal has multiplatform support>here's W4 games, it drains all the funding of godot and gives us something to do since we no longer actually work on the engine, the community does it for free so this is as good as godot is ever going to get>unreal has nanite virtual geometry>ACK, DESU you don't need that, godot is better staying in it's current state forever
>>495649736Godot doesn't try to keep up though? Godot has its own proposals already. They simply get filled over time. Some have been in the making for years.
>>495649736I played an unreal game yesterdayyou could never imagine that a game that's a single fucking room could use so much of the computer's resources
>>495648664Learning programming with a GUI interface can be useful. You could use unity for it. Unity has textboxes and whatever you can use to test. Or ya, just do this guys video and take it seriously. He covers pretty much everything you need to get started making a game. Maybe after finishing ask chat GPT to clear up the areas you're hazy on.
i'm deeply meditating on my intentions. i try to think of something to do that truly benefits me. i cannot come up with anything other than things that'd actually harm me. basically time wasters, distractions. games that make you worse.so i tried thinking of something that serves other people. but those think also seem vain. because everything exists already. you aren't really helping people with their needs anymore, because they are all met. you are just helping them with their selfish needs.it's almost like we life in hell and all there is too do is create harmful things. like we are all just drug dealers forced to make money by ripping people off.or hell in terms of everything being entertainment now and you have to whore yourself out to meet peoples perverted fantasies.you could create an ai robot that exceeds human capabilities. and then? what will it be used for? it'll just be used to make us more lazy, to fuck it into its simulated flesh hole and other disgusting things.maybe i need to realize that humans are filthy pigs and embrace that whatever i make is supposed to meet their selfish desires. there's no "good", we just live in hell and everything needs to be some guilty pleasure or it'll be discarded.
>>495649535Well yes webdev is a shitshow, mostly because the foundations are so bad that we've spent the last 25 years trying to abstract them away. However for as bad as it is to take a system designed to exchange text documents and turn it into an all-purpose application delivery platform that runs our entire economy, it is now still required to run the economy, so there's a lot more jobs going in webdev than in say gamedev.Gamedev is also bad for the same reasons you said, nobody knows what they're doing, that's why AAA companies can't release a game that is actually stable or functions, but the customer base are such braindead consoomers they realized they can usually get away with it, but it also pays worse and the working conditions are worse.
>>495650157just wait for npc AI that is human like and nervegear level tech and then you can play vidya 24/7 while hooked up to a feeding tube and catheter
>>495649872Juan specifically picks low hanging fruit that will advance advertisement of the engine while ignoring the meat of a modern game engine which is the development tools. Godot is just barely starting to catch up with early versions of unreal 3, still nowhere close to being on par with UDK before it was sunsetted. And a lot of functionality is community made plugins that get abandoned left and right, as soon as the jolt guy stops working on his project or gets hit by a bus we'll be back to juan physics.

Don't start off trying to do extremely lifelike high poly stuff you need a whole second sculpting skillset to do that well.>can't hand draw textures because I don't have 5 years of drawing experience.Photobashing and just making materials in node editor is far superior to hand-drawing if you don't have that art skill.

>>495653902I wouldn't make a crpg. They just aren't fun at the end of the day. I'm not against rpgs, I think it can be done if you really figure out how to limit scope. I'm not even sure there exists a good crpg.

>>495654402>t. 80 iq zoomer with adhd
>>495654040That's a retarded opinion and not even zoomers believe it, BG3 just sold nonsensical amounts for how complex of a system the game is emulating. Not that zoomers bought it for the complex DnD simulation, but you could make something MUCH simpler and still sell it on the aesthetics. That's how Fallout 1 and 2 work, relatively simple system with really strong aesthetics and fun writing.If I were to make this game it'd essentially be a Star Wars/Dune/Ursula LeGuin CRPG and I think that there's a huge market for that at least aesthetically.

god I hate when I can't do simple things and spend hours trying to debug something that I'll know in the future I'll just look at the code again and figure it out in 1 minute because there is some very silly mistake
>>495659647take a break for 10 minutes and come back to it, you'll probably magically think of the solution while youre doing something else
>>495659647Use breakpoints if you don't. Throw code into ChatGPT, take pics and show chat the inspector/heirarchy. I know this is basic and doesn't solve all. Just saying breakpoints are everything. I avoid code that isn't able to be debugged with breakpoints if I can.

Often reframing it like this, you'll think of another test you can run to figure out the issue.
