>>495850096the gruesome realism is one of the best part of his writing. We all get diarrhea, but almost no one writes about it. More writers should write about the mundane daily minutia of our lives that we try to pretend doesn't exist

>not even 1k reviews in a dayIt's so over for 2D pixel artists.
0 to 60 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 350 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 50 games a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2024HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY
>>495850343This is what makes Rick and Morty one of the best shows of the last decade.
>>495850000Checked. Blessed thread. I was going to shitpost but quints demand progress.You must post progress NOW
turn cris frames into pixel art, and use them in your game.
>>495850493Rick and Morty is in no way shape or form about daily minutia and the importance of the mundane. It's about stupid pop culture retardation and atheism
>>495850493that shit show was forgotten already
Have you posted a webm of your game in the /v/ thread yet? >>>/v/689807584
>>495850543>captura de pantalla
>>495850601It talks about mundane things other shows wont talk about like being toilet shy like the fact Rick has a separate toilet only he can use because when he poops where everyone else poops he gets shy and cant do it.Its actually very deep and if you got filtered by the pop culture referances then you probably have low iq.

>>495850683Nobody in this thread has a game that can hang with those webms, except maybe Cosmic Call or Landsword.That thread is a showcase of games that do well on reddit and twitter, hence why the people in /v/ know about them.If your game looks good then you'll do well on reddit, twitter and tiktok. If not then you need a demo that people play because it's fun. Very few games here look good.
>>495850970>>495851704you need real bravery to publish stuff like this. That's what you don't understand. It's the fact that George obviously values his world really really deeply and despite that will still put something like this in there. What does this tell you? That he does not do it as some kind of self-parody or edgy joke. He does it because he believes with all his heart that his work would be incomplete without it. Everyone who has ever mocked that paragraph is a braindead dumbass
>>495850683>>>/v/689810784>What if Landsword but good?

I will not give up.
>>495853550You and me both, anon.
I have done literally fucking nothing at the office this week. To pass the time I've been making little doodles on the "free" pads of sticky notes I took from the supply closet. I went through an entire pad today. No one is giving me any work no matter how many times I ask, it's like they don't even want to acknowledge I'm there. I'm 100% getting fired soon.
I will (make you) give up
>>495853372If it was a indie game then sure but it was made by a studio of 400 people.
>>495851524indeed, its in the face tho, a butterbody otherwise>>495852148it helps that this guy already succeeded so he will obviously have an easier time selling more copies than someone without having a big name to back the game with
>>495853808just bring a notebook or book and salvage something constructive out of it desu
>>495853884They can shit out a dozen of those games a year though.
So what if my game isn't realistic?
>>495853979Most days I'm just listening to audiobooks while pretending to look busy. I don't have balls to blatantly crack open a book at my desk when I'm supposed to be "working".

I hate making the tuto so much.
>>495853819Never gonna give (you) upNever gonna let (you) down Never gonna crab around, and hurt you>>495852898I like chicks with tattoos and piercings. I can be a bit picky about them, but still.

I love that this thread >>495855126makes cris obvious samefagging tactics here>>495850543even more obvious.
>gameplay loop
>>495855957i hate the term 'gameplay loop'.I just value good design, communication, and the power of diegetic elements.

Finally you can now farm in the farming game
>>495856489I just remembered how terrible Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 will be.
>>495856872collab bros, we won
>>495856489You're not wrong, but like the other guy said people these days are simply too retarded and don't have the attention span to learn things without being led by the hand. You could design an absolutely perfect, seemless tutorial that never feels like it's even trying to be a tutorial, but it's still going to filter the majority of morons out there. Since tutorials are at the very beginning of the game it's become essential to make sure even the most brainless dribbler can learn from them or else they're just going to refund your game.
>>495856872Holy ludo.
>>495854883you mf are making another game with weird gameplay again aren't you?
>>495856872Now that's cozy. Just me and my lamp and mini-farm within a worn out house.

>>495859751yeah, nolgorb starved to death from nobody buying his game...
>>495854883Did you ever think to make your games comprehensible to human beings? Take an existing and change 1-2 things about it. Don't reinvent the wheel.
>>495854883MY GAME WILL NOT HAVE TUTORIALS
>>495854883Did you pivot out of guro erogame? This is the azure something game except yellow now right?
>>495860880> Take an existing and change 1-2 things about it. Don't reinvent the wheel.I really disagree with this, although I think it's good advice if you're trying to make as much money as possible.
>>495856872>the reasson i will never share my game here againhi anon
>>495860880> Take an existing and change 1-2 things about it. Don't reinvent the wheel.I'm mostly dev as an hobby anon. Making slope is just boring.
>>495861552Players get scared if a game is too innovative. You have to strike a balance between making something original and derivative.
>>495861502I stopped Journey as I was drowning in bad decision. It is a new project.
>>495861703my game will be too innovative and i will frighten agdg
>>495861853>I stopped Journey as I was drowning in bad decision.Yeah...
I told myself I was either going to work on my game or work out when I got home and all I've done for the past 3 hours is jerk off and get into arguments with strangers on 4chan
>>495860650ThanksI don't really see bringing anyone else on right now. I have an idea of what I want it to be and everything in the current scope I know I can make myself, it's just a question of how long it will take.
>>495861870kek>>495861657eye-opening to see how an anon implementing extremely basic mechanics in a 2d game in a few days spooked half of agdg. No one would react like that in the enginedev general
Just learned all the autismo that this shit can do on combat, bros.
I WILL NOT SHARE MY GAMESIMPLE AS
>>495856872There's no way this isn't the guy that started the collab and he had actually already worked on it for a while so when the project predictably collapsed he's just revealing what he made to demoralize others by showing how fast and easy ideas get stolen?

>>495862590>eye-opening to see how an anon implementing extremely basic mechanics in a 2d game in a few days spooked half of agdgmaybe you should channel all that seething into actually making a game (you dont have one)
>>495863035I have been a NEET for 6 years now i think?Still havent made a game.
as a neet the 12 hours of daily dev time feels like cheating
im a neet and it takes me 12+ days to just build up the motivation and initiative to work on my game
>>495863295>>495863308>>495863445gmi
>this amount of NEETs lurkingpost progress anons
>>495862850That would honestly be really funny
I'm taking a break as one anon suggested and I try to think of games I would want to play but couldnt come up with anything. I'm too worried about school and getting my life in order now to even consider playing video games.
>>495864142seriously imagine if they all posted progress every single daythis thread would be heaven
when I finish Amazoom I will do an aggy collab project and drag some of these nerds across the finish line on a smaller projectmost people aren't cut out for small / indie gamedev though, like, i'm not even saying that to be insulting - it just requires wearing a lot of different hats and being willing to take risks and make mistakes and iterateso many people are so afraid of failing that they never get the work that needs to be done finished, or startedindie gamedev by yourself is one of the hardest things you can do because you have to do everything. there are some benefits to learning to do everything yourself, but i feel a better training space for most people is to be a cog at a bigger company where you can be assigned a single specialized role and meaningfully contributeidonnojust like make game though, fuck crabs
>>495864142I dont have any progress.I spent the entire day watching youtube videos.
>>495858225But I got recommended some fighting game and the AoT osts I want my game to be cool now not silly.>Zell in ff8 threw all those things around and that game was still pretty coolThis is cool to you? https://youtu.be/pZhH4xEbAIg?si=kx7tKL4aEUrCkEVy&t=7Alright fine it's still pretty cool maybe I can make it work.
>>495864142Neets don't have time to make games, they are too busy numbing themselves with videogames, porn and anime. Any time not spent distracting themselves results in crushing existential dread and emotional collapse. Also due to a severe lack of work ethic they only work on a game when the urge takes thrm and they only feel like it around 4am after 18 hours of consooming content and are about to crawl into their bed that hasn't had the sheets changed in 6 months to pass out.I was neet, I know how lazy and unproductive neets are
This is annoying. Tried to get a cursor appear while hovering over objects, except it doesn't work the asset I imported from Blender.I'll see if there is another way.
>>495855889Humble bundle too
>>495864562If a bunch of neets were busy making progress free from the burden of wage slavery and posting it here I would probably get demoralized really fast
>>495864917*cursor to appear*doesn't work on the asset
>>495864904>Also due to a severe lack of work ethic they only work on a game when the urge takes thrm and they only feel like it around 4am after 18 hours of consooming content and are about to crawl into their bed that hasn't had the sheets changed in 6 months to pass out.this is literally me
>>495864731>This is cool to you?
>>495864670what kind of game?
>>495864142I'm doing audio right now can't. Also playstation accepted me to their dev program
>>495864904This is a lie to lull you into a false sense of security. As a neet I'm putting 12 hours a day into my game.
how do I protect my pixel art assets from being copy and pasted if I post them as progress here
If I have a property of my player character exposed, is there a way I can edit that thru the player start position? For example if I want the player to be a different color on level start, I want to be able to set that color in the editor
>>495864562I was a neet posting here every day for over a year and a half after I graduated university and I never once even started working on a game. Still haven't, but at least now I'm employed full time so I have an excuse.

>>495864904>holy projectingbut also me
you know you're going to see something useful and cool when there's a (1-x) term in a formula
>I do not make gamesWhat are you doing in the gamedev subreddit then? o.O
>>495857974>>495864731Yeah suplexing a dragon is stupid... It's far more sensible for a 17 year old kid to kill God with a sword the size of a railway sleeper.Instead of throws on enemies that are too big to throw, maybe have a different class of special attack like a pressure point attack that paralyzes them or something
>>495865604Wow cool, you'll have no trouble posting some progress then
>>495865812I don't get it.
>>495865383probably a 2d puzzle game of some kindi have been kicking this idea around for awhile for a game where you control a small fluffy critter of some kind and the gimmick is that you sniff flowers to force yourself to sneeze which is how you activate switches or open doorssorta like offspring fling but less motherhood and more sneezes
I'm going to be working on my game very day for at least 5 hours and 45 minutes with my new strat. Going to set an alarm for every morning and after I get ready I'm going to start my day with an hour long walk so when I get back I'll be up an at 'em instead of possibly getting back in bed. Can't post progress for a while though still in the design phase and my concept is too obvious/good/simple that someone will surely steal it. Give me two weeks.
blessings to you all. i’m going to quit gamedev and become a hare krishnahttps://youtu.be/9PMGeQCr-aU?si=mamP-_K-p8vvWxu2
>>495866193Maybe I can just make sure all the throw animations are repurposable like if I have a grab where you pick up the enemy with a bear hug then slam them on the ground with you on top of them and start punching them I could just play the first half, the hugging animation so it just looks like you're climbing the big enemy then cut to the character being somewhere on top of it and punching it. I was thinking I'd also have a trip throw though not sure how you trip throw a dragon.

>>495864142fixing a bug. Seems to be some sort of problem with CPU to GPU data transfer.
>>495866503Not sure specifically what he's referring to, but that does show up in lerping code, which is useful everywhere.If x is a value in 0-1 range, you can lerp from a to b witha+(b-a)x= a-ax + bx= (1-x)a + bxAlso common in other contexts with a 0-1 range, e.g. 1-(1-x)*(1-x) to get a curve from 0-1 that starts out quickly and levels out slowly.
is it just me or did games lose their magic since I started making them
>>495869053There's only been a couple cases where I was disappointed knowing how the sausage is made. A lot of the time I like looking closer at meshes and textures and stuff now. Fun to see how people did it(better than me).
>>495869053You now know the tricks behind the curtain.
>>495869053what actually happened is you realized why the game credits were so big
Progress: prototype salvaging mechanic for cutting stuff out of wrecksInspired by a certain mining minigame
>>495869384then why were games better when the credits were 30 people long?
>>495869468i remember similar things from starbound
Don't get why I'm getting this error.It works as intended and changes the color of the player and box when they overlap but for some reason it keeps giving me this gay ass runtime error
>>495869468Peak creativity.
>>495862850He's the guy who generously gave them a mockup for what I assume was recruitment purposes. Regardless he has me spooked. He's done in 1 week day what took me months of serious effort. Just one, a whopping ONE, of the things he showed in that webm/gif the yesterday took me maybe a month to fully implement. And no this wasn't me working on it a whopping 2 hours per week.No thanks I don't need anymore, all it takes is one talented guy that doesn't care if he steps on others to get rich and him picking my game of all games to clone, I'd literally and unironically be screwed over. I've been screwed over too many times in other aspects in life. I am not about to give the world another opportunity to screw me over. Sitting bummed out isn't going to turn my life around either, trust me it hurts getting screwed over with absolutely 0 way to regain whatever it was you were screwed on. No, just no. Seeing someone else clone my game and make million would unironically send me into a rage before the depression sets in. Probably worse than my last one over a different matter.
>>495869556There are many, many, many, many games from that era which were dogshitbut i am not here to pick fights with you right now. that would be bad dandoriwe have WORK to do
>>495867809Nice art, do you usually hand sketch out each one first?>>495869657I was thinking the underground from some of the DS pokemon games, maybe nintendo's got a patent somewhere for it
>>495869825>Just one, a whopping ONE, of the things he showed in that webm/gif the yesterday took me maybe a month to fully implement. Is it because you're an artlet, a codelet, or both? Taking a month to implement plants growing using pixel-art sprites, or cutting down a tree and collecting the wood, is not normal, you can't be a professional gamedev if that's the level you operate at
>>495869825If somebody else can make your game, then you're doing it wrong. You should make a game that only you are able to.
>>495850000Based Quads>>495731760Day002WIP adding a small stick. The unity input system makes things easier, but i kinda like the "do it for yourself" Godot approach
>>495869825The talentless need to band together to defeat the solodev menace.
>>495869707Please just code.
>>495862407Well there's the reason you barely work on your game, you work. You literally have maybe 4 hours max of free time after work. But other duties instantly take that free time, eg gotta eat, gotta shower, gotta do some minor chores otherwise you'll have it stack for the weekend, gotta.... Next thing you know you have 1-1.5 hours of free time. You've had close to 0 time to doing something that doesn't feel like work. Will you now spend 1.5 hours working on your game or playing videos game/goofing off on 4chan? No wonder the wagecage takes a solid chunk of time, it limits your avenues of escaping so there's a steady supply of workers. Who wants to work 93% of a day and only have 7% to truly do whatever you want only to use that 7% on another form of work. Wew what are you a machine? I still do not understand those who somehow are always living life on a highlight reel even with a job. They pay others? Just eat out always?Making it off gamedev while waging seems unironically far, far more difficult than a lazy neet.
>>495870219I don’t want to be a professional game dev. I want to finish my game and be rich.
>>495869053the magic of knowing how the sausage is made is that you can appreciate a truly good sausage, much like your mum.
>>495870279Nice progress.
>>495869825>all it takes is one talented guy that doesn't care if he steps on others to get rich and him picking my game of all games to cloneThe collab game was a stardew valley/harvest moon clone based on an anime.Presumably your game's systems, mechanics, and aesthetic are 100% novel and original, and thus harder to clone.Your game isn't a clone of something that already exists, is it?
>>495870482Why?Its functionally the same. I know how to code already, but this is way faster than typing out everything and cross checking lines of text. Why would I pick the slower option? just so I can be part of the cool club? Does it matter if I'm making something unlike NoDevs?who the fuck cares?
>>495869468very cool, but the glow makes it hard to read
>>495870812> and thus harder to cloneNot really, most basic systems can be cloned once you see how they work, unless they are really complex like Tiny Glade's procedural generation.Most novel ideas people put in their games can be cloned trivially.
>>495869053And that’s a good thing. Most games are shit and now you know the truth. That games like Death Stranding are ludo. Why Bethesda reigns supreme.
the great news about my game is that it's impossible to clonethe thing is that my game's entire value is in the content and level design, which requires truckloads of creative work day in and day out to even so much as outline a single levelmeanwhile, the people who develop games at lightning speed are typically autistic - not the creative type. They know how to code like robots for 1 months straight but they don't have the creative spark to making anything worthy out of itI am safe
>>495870846Well if you understood the code you were writing instead of being an unreal spaghettinigger then you wouldn't be sitting here begging us for help.
>>495869825>Seeing someone else clone my gameIt's not "your game". You have no game. Only vague notions of a game.
I'm literally a genius, none of you could clone my game even if I posted it. No, I won't show my work, some fuckhead will try to steal it anyway
>>495867471Why do you have to have giant enemies? If the game is meant to be about hand to hand combat then make the enemies appropriate for that paradigm of fightingThe examples I can think of fighting a giant enemy is probably the Cronos boss fight in God of War 3, or Shadow of the Collosus. So a lot of climbing and hitting weak points, killing adds, avoiding big slow attacks, and quicktime events
>>495871430>some fuckhead will try to steal it anywayWhy would you care if you truly believed it was uncloneable?
How do you guys handle run once statements in looping code? I've been using flags, but now I'm running into mental flag overload and weird behavior because I try to re-use flags in places or forget to reset them.Now I'm thinking of using mini state machines with individual states for run once statements which immediately transition to the next state, but I can see this ballooning pretty quickly as well.
>>495870846>Why?For one thing, it limits the number of people who'll help you to those willing to untangle your mess.For another, code can easily be retyped, copy pasted, and edited.So that's two reasons.
>>495871131this most game's have systems that are individually easy enough to clone. you're going to need to do something far more complex to be difficult to get copied on and at that point youre just going "creative" for the sake of avoiding cloners, is the game even fun? imagine being the vampire survivors dev and making the mistake of showing it off too early and being bad at coding. seeing 50 clones come out and steal your thunder along with 1 getting 100k reviews would be suicide fuel
>>495871752Vampire Survivors was already a conscious clone of Magic Survival.
>>495867732>some anons see this in their feed and click itits over
>>495871905VS actually has a lot of clever design under the hood that isn't obvious from just looking at it. That is the reason why so few clones are good.
>>495871245You too? Feels good.
>>495871905That was a fun game, wonder if only being on mobile prevented it from exploding like vs did
>>495872004I would simply not click on such a video, and click 'do not recommend'
>>495872034just gambling related or something more?
>>495872124Apparently the Magic Survival dev keeps reworking base mechanics and is ruining it.
>>495871419Ideas are everything, moron.
>>495872205The way enemies spawns, the RNG used to select items, etc.
>>495871131yep. only way to make it difficult is by it being something complex enough that they can't simply reverse engineer just by seeing it. you'd need the dev to release their game and crack open the game to look at the code. but its too late the dev escaped the cloner horde. unlike say bodycam cloning unrecord or trove whomst i believe were cloning cube world but no obvious proof besides being the only other game with a suspiciously similar style appearing suddenly with cube worlds sudden popularity. you don't need their specific code since both of those were banking off the artstyle.>>495871419>clones pokemon>erm why is nintendo suing me?
What are games with infinite replayability?Why spend all your time making your dream game if you can only play it once or twice before getting bored of it yourself?I know of the usual suspects:>Slay the Spire (roguelike deckbuilder)>Minecraft/Terraria (crafting building)However note: these next games are NOT infinitely replayable despite what people say:>SkyrimExcellent game but eventually you do everything in it, even with mods. And especially if you yourself are the one making the game>Binding of IssacShitty gameplay, edgy and pretentious, looks like shit>Civilization and other 4X gamesToo boring and complex>Fighting gamesToo difficult and not fun>HadesWoke and looks like a worse Diablo-clone>Path of Exile and other Diablo-clonesGets really boring near endgame>Elden Ring and SoulslikeMemorize enemy behavior and it gets really boring>MMOsGrind-festYou do all this work to make a game, but it has no replay value so you play it once or twice and then you get bored.Just imagine you created something like Portal or Phoenix Wright. Fun games. But once you play through it once you can't really play through it again.If I'm spending a lot of effort and time into making a game, I'd want to be able to play it over and over.
>>495872234This is further that VS wasn’t a chance success.
Why do I keep making shooters? I don't play any outside of Overwatch. Am I just a fucking hack?
does anyone else think that it's about time that we started separating games into more accurate categories? Why are all games placed under the same umbrella?Look at movies for example. No one is going to try and tell you that a tv show is a movie or that a youtube video is a movie. They are clearly different things, so why aren't we doing the same with "games"When some people say "games" they mean interactive moviesWhen some people say "games" they mean computer gamesWhen some people say "games" they mean console gamesWhen some people say "games" they mean mobile gamesthose are all completely different things
>>495871131Is Tiny Glade’s system actually complex though? It’s probably more asset work than number crunching.
Vampire Survivors has a lot of similarities with Risk of Rain.
Can someone here please make a Darkwood clone? Thanks.
>>495872034The dev didn’t that smart but maybe it does.
>>495873047Darkwood is much more than its gameplay
>>495872321Designs are everything.>>495872443Nintendo has patents and you can only patent designs, not ideas of designs. If you could articulate your ideas in enough detail that you could file a patent, you would also have a game.
Thoughts on making a game just to learn JUICE?
>>495863308i can't even get 4 hours in a day......i get stuck frequently panic and wander off to do something else. also it gets annoying to dev since my anxiety ramps up and i suddenly need to pee very frequently.
>>495873048The dev is a professional programmer. His workflow consists of designing/implementing everything himself in Javascript, and then has a team port it over to Unity.
>>495873214It’s called making a survivors like.
>>495871470I'm making a final fantasy clone with all sorts of cool monsters. Maybe I can just have two animations for throws one for humanoids and one for big monsters where your character just like jumps on them and start whacking them but they're the same attack.
>>495864904Projecting, neetdom pushes you to ship games. Shipping another soon
I'm working on a yuri VN and can't into menu button design at all. Anybody got any good resources related to UI design?
>"NOOOOOO you cant just progress on your game while working a 6 figure remote tech job and maintaining a healthy social life with family, friends and a gf!!!!!"
>>495873693Neetdom made me realize how delusional I was when while I was wagecucking. I was trying to make a StS clone and another Souls/No more heroes like.
>>495874109who are you quoting?
>when your low effort shitpost makes some guy seether
>>495871627if f != null {f(); f = null;}

>>495874234What’s wrong with that?
>he is actually making an RTS>in big 2024LOLOLOL KEKEKKE HAHAHAHA LAMOOOO
>>495872034>>495872234>>495872512And it's also another reason that Vampire Survivors wouldn't need to have feared being cloned by an early reveal. If the dev had done an early reveal on agdg, everybody would have gone: "why the fuck would you want to clone Magic Survival? That would be a guaranteed flop."
where are da loligaems?
I don't want to keep living this pointless life
>>495875249Game dev is your point, now point.
>>495874876It was randomly thought out. My StS clone besides some new mechanics and classes had dungeon crawling/equipment system added to it. It misses the whole point of roguelite deckbuilders where the focal point should be combat and decision making, dungeon crawling would just slow it down.Other than aesthetics and a perfect hit system my Souls clone does nothing new. The idea were hacky as fuck and poorly thought out.
>>495871627>loop>run once>start>same loop again >goto start
>>495874969i bet someone will soon come up with a weird and addictive innovation on RTS and all the alphoomers will flock to it. and we'll all be saying WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT??
can your game get hundreds of likes?if not, kill it. you don't have years to work on an unappealing game
>>495875504>can your game get hundreds of likes?>if not, kill it. you don't have years to work on an unappealing game
i have hired a team to clone one of aggy daggys game's. who you may ask, you'll just have to wait until i post it once anon is nearing release.
too much testing can be a bad thing for some games especially if you're autistically detemined to achieve a very specific difficulty level for your game. This is something which was observed with some RTS in the esports era and with Dark Souls games now - they completely optimized their games with only the pro players in mind. They wanted to give a challenge to the biggest metagaming autists in existence and completely stopped caring about everything else
>>495875491It’s simple. RTS with 3 upgrades and deck builder mechanics.
yep, time to close my browser so i can launch UE
>>495875504it would if I showed it.
>>495875284I hate people, why would I want to make entertainment for them
>>495875504no one is buying this trash
>>495875780You see game dev as a means to an end as opposed to the end itself. You are your problem.
>>495875491lol look up kingmaker, you are going to get giga mogged and skullfucked by a random dude and his brother. 100k+ skeletal meshes with damage and health, and a third person player character dropped in to command the armies and also shoot enemy troops with m16's and grenade launchers. top wishlisted game on steam.UE5 bros literally cannot stop winning btw. no other engine could do that. None
>>495872687I haven't looked at it in detail, but the developer/artist lady knows what she's doing, and probably the programmer is quite good too.If you are good enough with 3d programming and math to implement a moderate subset of houdini procgen tools (probably some sdf and vdb voxel stuff, and more prosaic tools to extrude, skew, orient, and align geometry) then yeah, it would come down to a ton of asset and shader work... and likely a few clever ideas to get certain features working
>>495858008I don't know what you are making but with that character you have all my attention
>>495875723if you thought so, you'd be showing it>>495875828likes = game appealmatches = sex appealit's literally the only thing that matters

>>495876123>it's literally the only thing that mattersstupid autistic zoomer
>>495876182>UE5 runs like shit>random dudes made a game that has 100k+ full skeletal mesh enemies, billions of particles, effects, projectiles, etc and it ran on a pc from 10 years ago above 200fps 4k resolutionLMAOmethinks its a skill issue on your part, silly little virgin incel neet

>>495876834oh wow it actually released already?>it costs as much as marmorealLAMO
If you saw 5 seconds of gameplay from my game, you would kill yourselves.
>>495877139marmo was a dumb greedy faggot tranny and he still hasnt made a net gain due to taxes, steam cut, and owing all of the profits to the guy who made all of his ugly ass 3d models.
>>495877164My life is as worthless as a summer ant so there's no harm in it.
>>495877139im tired of this. feels like non gamers entering the gamedev scene because of all the clout there is to gain. even if they knew about the money, if social clout was gone for it ie no social media to get fanboys praising you, they'd probably not even bother devving.
>>495877504kek, imagine seething that clout chasers can make better games than you. Get over yourself.
>>495858008>>495876095Oh I see it's a spaceship shooter game, right? consider adding the face of the pilot in a corner in the screen and make it animated when it go fast, iddle, shoots or get's shot... I know it's extra work but it gives extra personality and it's nice to see a cute anthro face while you play, if not the it will feel like another generic spaceship shooter game, you can make her wink to the player when the stage is completed
>>495877332having a little melty there anon? marmoreal release hurt too close to home?
>>495877645>two man team outcompetes a guy who's probably been neeting for a decadeit's annoying this group just seems to purposefully be trained on the exact things needed for making a graphically good game and what appeals to the masses. where the heck were these teachings back when i was a kid? you have zoomers that haven't even graduated high school mogging the heck out of this thread because lol he's doing it for the likes on twitter
How do I set myself apart from other shooter games, agdg?
let's come back in a week and see what the average playtime on tiny glade is and what the current player count is
>>495874109Surely, with all that confidence and “healthy” ego, you’re more than willing to tell us what game you’re making.Well, what is it, well adjusted anon? Since you’re so happy and well adjusted, you’ll be proud to share it with us poor benighted neets… right?
>>495877907Nobody told Marmonigger that he had to make one shitty game for 10 years
>>495877818yesssssss! how am i supposed to make it if marmo didn't! why didn't they buy his game! aaaaaaaaaa how am i supposed to escape this wagecage if his game is that good and still failed to hit even just 50 reviews!
What happened to marmo anyways? he goons all day now or what? no marmoreal 2?
someone turn this into a spritesheet pls.

>>495878742I will now play your game.
yes piss filter or no piss filter
>>495878742Can you explain how you did this?
>>495879462Eewwwwwww
>>495878918All me.
>>495879462Piss filter on.
>>495879462Piss filters are meant to show heat, but you don't have it high enough.
>>495879242>>495878116The wall is cruel
>>495879445Thank you Annon. Next agdg is arround the corner>>495879518Basically, I put one ray from the character, to each of the corners of the camera. Then if the ray is colliding, I use the funcion distance_to(), from the player position, to the colision point, and pass the value to an array. Then I use the method array.min() to get the smaller value from the array, and I feed that to another function that I did, that positions the camera.
>>495879462Will this be a jak and daxter like with 3d platforming, engaging combat, upgrades, and puzzle solving? Oh no let me guess. You shoot stuff. Then it dies. How daring!
>>495879242dam cris used to be a chad
Yeah I'm going to be lazy for the excuse of "simplicity." Also nobody checked the OP's numbers. So >>495850000, checking.
>>495879462No. You only use the piss filter to signify it's Mexico.
>>495880080That's pretty smart, what I usually do is just send a single ray from the center to the camera.
>>495880216it's an RTT. you're not even gonna be the one who's shooting at stuff until it dies. what a borefest!
I was going to ask what variation I should use, but I think I can easily merge it to be a loop and it will be fine.
Will your game please the masses whos fantasies will never be quenched?
>>495880663Thank you, I was doing that first. Just a single ray. But then the camera would clip like in >>495878961. Doing 4 rays works surprisingly well
>>495880887Shit. completely missed state of play. Explain this meme to me.
>>495880887My game is for like minded individuals. of which there are about 10. So I'm pricing my game at $10,000.
>>495880887Asmonbald shits on overpaid AAAA studios who keep sharting out flops, not amateur indie devs. He plays a ton of indie games and has probably inadvertently helped make several indie devs rich. If he plays your game on stream you literally made it

>>495878961>>495878742This is the kind of autism that makes me feel like /agdg/tards are NGMI. Why waste your time fixing basic shit that none of your players are going to care about? I'm playing Satisfactory with some friends right now, and it does this all the time, but who gives a fuck. They're probably using the UE default FPS template. The game's made over $100m.

>>495881580He ONLY plays indies that are already popular is what i meant.
>>495881793Players might complain about jank, but the absence of jank is not what makes players buy a game. Focus on what matters.
>>495882072It's not like it took him that long to figure out the camera.
>>495879462no piss filter, it pisses me off also isn't that dood a little little for that ak? what are you making a fps or a rts? you can look to African guerrillas and conflicts, they also decorate their AK with colorful straps and warpaints, could be cool to add that to your game
>>495882327 see >>495880756
>>495882423thanks, any female anthro or only dudes? any other species? you could add some cartoony effects like in the ps2 game XIII

>>495882210One time isn't much, but it adds up if you're doing it with every little janky thing that pops up. I'm watching LODs pop in and out in this $100m+ game, realizing that I spent way too much time making LOD transitions as unnoticeable as possible in my game.

Why is no one on AGDG developing a FNAF fan game? There's literally a dedicated section on Itch.io, people make fanart of your characters, horror streamers will play it and promote it, and you get theory videos which will perpetually keep your game around for years. It's literally free money.
Some of you are actually really good at texture painting low poly models. People would pay at least 50-75 bones per model.
I don't want bones. I want your money, idiot.

The thing about "don't reinvent the wheel" is that it really means "don't reinvent things that already exist", but the way it's used is like "don't improve anything ". We have wagon wheels, bike wheels, car wheels, desk chair wheels and they all had to be invented. They were all improving an existing thing for a purpose. This is an important thing to be able to do. Furthermore, the phrase is telling people that they shouldn't, or can't, improve any existing thing. This is a really dangerous mentality for society and a sad mentality for an individual. Everyone who made something great was "reinventing" a wheel. Stardew Valley was reinventing the farming game wheel. Minecraft invented its own engine. Endless examples of this. Don't be afraid to incrementally improve upon things that exist.

It's awfully depressing how a guy posting simple progress in a 2d sprite game is sparking rumors of cheating, prefab, etc. This is... a normal amount of progress for someone who knows their tools. Is it actually surprising to so many of you..?

>>495890418Incremental improvements are very difficult and time consuming. The point of that advice here is to say that you have better things you could be spending your time on. It's advice typically given to the retarded enginedevs, who are all 20-25 year olds with CS degrees with their head up too far their ass to realize that the people who wrote the libraries, frameworks, and engines that they could be already using are way smarter than they are.“If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.”― Isaac Newton

>>495890418the problem is that most of you retards are like "what if wheel but square"you shouldn't need to try that to know its dumb and theres a reason its not done
>>495869707It's crazy the lengths morons will go to not learn programming
>>495888972Roguelikes are the cancer of the industry. I want to play a game and be done with it, not deal with your meme RNG, meme gameplay, and meme builds over and over again like an autist in your empty meme game. Want bloat because 30 minutes is too short? Go text-heavy with your schizo fanfics, make it harder, go insane with the level design, do literally anything. Every time I see something cool and read 'roguelike,' I just skip it and go find something else.Why would I play a game where 80% of everything will be just the same if I already beat it once? Lazy design.
>>495891175
>>495891175That's a good analogy. It makes me realize that most of my ideas are just aesthetic. Like thomas brush example of a game idea is 'metroidvania but with bugs' is equivalent to a 'wheel but with a different color'
wheel but 3D
Looking for 2D artists to collab with
>>495891337quick question, do you play cards?
>>495891348>interprets an idiom literally>can only see form, and not functionAnon, you are actually retarded. No would ever refer to a spinning blade as a "wheel".
>>495891645Post design doc.
>>495872490Procedural puzzle gen
I settled on a way to add story. No cutscenes or comic panels in the loading screens, that would take too long.But some DX/MGSV-style dialogs in the middle of the game, that's doable.>>495891136A function with switches, develop it further only when you have to.>>495890978It's not about who's smarter. UE, Godot, and Unity are engineered for popularity, not for making (You)r game. Not saying this means everyone should engine-dev, but some stuff can be much simpler if you do it yourself because you only have to write it for your game, not every possible game.
>>495891337>i want to play more movieslop>stop making systems games with enough interactions that can keep players entertained for dozens of hours
>>495891863Nice linework, how did you do it? By hand in PS?
>>495891815Post art and I will make YOUR idea
>>495891337who the fuck cares what you want as a player? you're irrelevant. this is a gamedev gamedev general and you need to put your gamedev hat on.
I hate god
>>495891984Thanks, by hand but with the line tool and pixel brush in Krita.
>>495875504Lol. If that thing got 360 likes, my game would get tens of thousands
>>495890418see also: "premature optimization is the root of all evil," the other wisdom nugget that gets regurgitated nearly every time someone considers the performance of anything>>495890978so you're saying don't create anything because existing projects exist
>>495892095wanna collab on killing god?
>>495892127What size did you go for, 5? How did you go about deciding on just the right one?
>>495891863>A function with switches, develop it further only when you have to.I tried that a few times but I always ended up with huge serialized fields in the inspector.
Alright, all the invites should be sent by now for this year's meet-up. If you didn't get a notification, there is either no clear way to contact you or your game just isn't complete or compelling enough.As always accomodations will be provided for the week, but if you have financial difficulty with travel costs, there are instructions in the email for what assistance is available. Looking forward to seeing you all again and some of you for the first time :)-N
>>495891968You can create long gameplay-heavy games without making people lose all their progress for dying or turning it into a shitty civ strategy simulator. Just look at Disgaea.
>>495892185Gamedev is an insanely time consuming endeavor. The only way you're going to get things done and ship a game is to choose your battles.
>>495892151>empty blustertry it
>>495883576You have it reversed. One jank isn't much, but a lot of jank adds up to a flop. You have to fix the low hanging jank when you can. The really hard to fix jank can remain if it's the only jank left.
Game is alright, thought it would be more "action packed". Felt like im just running around collecting acorns and sometimes shooting bad guys. puzzles are clever. i think the other reviews are blowing it up a bit more then it should. id give like a 5/10
>>495892195Gott ist tot
>>495880891you are gonna lose your mind when you find out about shapecasting
>>495892867Counterexample: any Bethesda game
>>495892347>What size did you go for, 5? How did you go about deciding on just the right one?Well for the frame edges that's just size 1, it's a 1 pixel brush. The backgrounds I made years ago so I just rectangle select and copy paste them around, but they were just squares covered in scanlines and a feathered+inverted rectangle select to add a gradient at the edges.>>495892367Well that's just mixing up the in-game data with what you save to disk, that's the fault of whatever engine you picked. I'm an engine dev so I have to implement all my reading/writing myself anyway and don't have to think about it up front. Coincidentally, a good example of what I said about engines above.
>>495890978This is exactly what I'm talking about. The belief that, if it could be improved, some faceless smarter person would have done it already. That's a mentality of a pathetic person who cannot achieve anything. Frameworks and libraries often suck cock. A good developer CAN improve them. If it would help his productivity overall, he should. And sometimes having a bespoke implementation will help you get from 95 to 100% much faster than the shelf solution with the showstopper bug you encounter too late.
>>495893068Counterpoint: 100 million dollars in marketing
Bought a new chair.Does that count as progress?
>>495893905was it a herman miller?
>>495855889Oh you're rightI used to get ads for it on my phone for gog
>>495892613doing some programming to reduce friction from tools and libraries that you might well be using for decades may be worth it. no one needs to justify it, either.>>495893339i think casey muratori demonstrated this nicely a while ago. he complained about windows terminal's glyph rendering being extremely slow and causing problems, got a dismissive response saying it would be equivalent to a full-blown phd project to write anything faster, so he did it himself in a weekend. those faceless smarter people got humiliated by some random fag who was not too intimidated to (shock horror) do some programming.
>>495893339If you wanted to get into F1 racing as a total beginner, would your first step be to open a material sciences lab to research a better material to use for the tires, or should you assemble a racecar with off-the-shelf parts and try participating in a few races first to get a better grasp of what needs to be improved upon? Too many retarded gamedevs opt for the former, without having a concrete understanding of all the parts that make up a vehicle to begin with.
darn, doing low poly and staying below 1k tris is so hard
>>495894253Muratori, Blow, et al are an uncommon breed of person who have competence, believe they have it, and have the motivation to utilize it. The results are good programs.
>>495894607Who said anything about a total beginner? The wheel rhetoric is pervasive at all levels. People say that about Blow about making his own Witness engine, and he's been, literally, professionally programming games for 30 years.
>>495893735how do hundreds of millions of dollars in marketing get players to play Oblivion or Skyrim for years?
>>495872543anon, you can't force language to be correct or accurate or add something new. it ONLY changes naturallythat's why there's so many misnomers that do no get fixed, everyou stumbled into one of them
>>495894661bro why does she have no brain?
>>495895059The same way retards have been listening to the same vapid top 40 for years, I imagine
In code, do you use the name projectile, shot, or bullet?
>>49585040810%~ of players review games.Even if they only hit 1000 in sales, which I am sure they will eventually, that's still like 22,000 usd.A modest success is still a modest success, can put that on your resume and get hired by most studios. Hell, invest what they make here into furthering their studio.
>>495894990Nothing Blow has made has been an "improvement". It's all autistic masturbation. He's a terrible businessman and a lottery winner who blew all his earnings and will soon blow his brains out. Follow your leader if that's what you want.
The way I'm working on my game is to emphasize developer productivity. Rather than make it the fastest, make it extremely easy to add tools to make the game quickly. This has been working, and I've found optimizing subsequently very easy - because the code is pretty slim anyway. The amount of gains you can get focusing on only the worst stuff is insane. I had my frames drop from being 8 ms to 5 ms - nearly half the cost - by changing two lines in a function.The most important thing is data structures. Most of the time when people are talking about optimization they're doing stuff that literally does not matter. It's far more common for me to get huge speed increases by changing around the order of the program a little, than it is to change some minute detail. And then you can get into caching stuff, which is another big speed increase.
>>495894661Forget about low poly. Just don't subdiv.

nodev here, progress is being made towards the great work
The AA studio I work at likes to hire from employee reference, it's a pretty chill and fun place to work. Anyhow I'm told we're about to start putting ads up looking for some positions, specifically Lead Game Design. Main office on the west coast but a number of guys work remotely. I'm assuming US only but I could check into that.Also don't be put off by the title, it's essentially "idea guy" lol. Thought I'd mention here as a way of giving back to the community that's helped me get where I am today. Competitive wage, pretty good benefits and some employer matching thing I don't use, etc. Hit me with a couple of your best ideas and I'll let you know if it seems like it would be worth your time to pursue.
I’m starting to think AAA games are good games.

>>495899621You know what? I will.
>>495899621My dream game got made by someone else :( and I didn't care for it
>>495899841yall dream so smallit's patheticam i even with the right people here?
>>495899621I don't have a dream game. Probably for the best since even without having a dream my current project is crushingly ambitious for a solodev.
If your dream game is possible to make with no budget and no team, then your dream is tiny and game is garbage.
>>495899621I have no dreams tho
I'm making my nightmare game.
what do i do? do i just resubmit it for review with the comment asking for a region lock or something?
>>495900053Is your dream game just an open world game with good graphics?
>>495899946small? It was made by a big team.
>Now, do you have anything that you could tell the people out there that really want to follow their dreams?>Well, I'd probably say... don't let anyone ever tell you that your dreams are cliché. You are unique, all right? So you get out there, and you chase after the vague concept of a dream for however long it may take. Be a gamedev! you need to be a gamedev! Become a fucking gamedev!

I will make progress today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXu5bIvz6-IThis is the FPS i wanted to make and holy shit they got away with a boss that has only 1 attack.
>>495909292>they got away with a boss that has only 1 attack.i hate how others can get away with stuff like this but i try it, 1 review, negative>what kind of boss design is this! 1 attack? lol refunded
>>495906715Future millionaire indie game dev anon from 4chan, future millionaire indie game dev anon from 4chan, can we get your opinion on the lolidevs and what order you would rank the races, gun to your head?
>>495909004It's like duct tape for realism. If you turned them off a lot of the 3D objects would look blocky, cel-shaded, any sort of 'artistic' rather than 'realistic'. The soft gradients from bloom and fog break up the sharp edges and lackluster textures. You'll notice it most greatly in the shot where it starts very close up, because there's not a lot of bloom or fog in the way of what you're looking at. It reminds me of AoE2's opening CG.It makes it great for a cinematic with a lot of depth but for a game? You can tell me if that looks like a game or just a cinematic.
>>495909292I had my eye on this game, but didn't realize it released already. It looks good visually. That boss has like three attacks though. The leap, the summon and the dip.
>>495908741From the graphic it looks kinda bad(who leans over an edge like that?), but maybe better in practice. That said, most games I know of will instead play a 'teeter' animation when close to a ledge.
>>495909538Summons are necessary in these type of games unless the boss uses projectiles themselves
>>495909292>rogueslopThis is your dream FPS? Come on, anon. You're a joke.

>>495909870if you ever stopped using it then no. sorry faggot.
>was revamping buggy and unoptimized line of sight checks>got sidetracked with raycasting>>495909870Yes, 'cause it doesn't show the unity logo anymore so you can pretend you are using something else.

>>495909990Explain this magic to me. How are you rendering thousands of enemies on the screen and shooting them?
Level scaling is quite literally the most boring possible way to do difficulty in any videogame, especially if it's an RPG. What is the point of leveling up if enemies just level up with you?
>>495909496That is just a cinematic in unreal. I made it for my university introductory course to 3d rendering
>>495910328It's about the journey, not the destination.
>>495910172Oh okay, in that context I could imagine it being alright. Good luck with it.
>>495910328I think Genshin Impact did it right and single player games should learn from Genshin.Yes its chinesse and yes its a gacha but it has many great ideas.
>>495910328introducing deadlier enemy types good, making shitmobs deadlier bad
>>495910195Those are static meshes sent in a single batch to the GPU, and animations are done directly on the GPU in the shader. Exact API used is Unity's BatchRendererGroup.As for shooting them, it's a fully home-made physics engine (which is why I had to write raycasting myself) that is entirely multi-threaded, cut every possible corner that won't be needed for an RTS and use Unity's Burst compiler to bring code performance on par with very good C++. Also some light ECS way of handling objects... and some very, very harsh LOD settings - the "fade to faction color" effect is half to keep things readable when the camera is zoomed out, half to smooth the far LOD transitions.

>>495912473Was funny watching the interview where they talk a bit about their engine and yeah, we have pretty much the same tech/constraints/solutions.That said, Kingmaker is going all in on making shit as nice as possible in FPS mode, while I'm mostly focusing on the RTS side - FPS mode is mostly there for shit and giggle and a bad idea to use if you actually want to win.I'm closer to "Total War with Dungeon Keeper's possession spell" than a Kingmaker clone.... maybe I should stop doing so many video in FPS mode. It's just that stuff tend to be more impressive from the ground than from above.

>>495921754Can I be your friend?
Something that /agdg/ never brings up but is worth discussing is how much money you make after release.I'll take Undertale for example. According to games-stats it made about 41 million USD in it's lifetime, which is almost ten years. The bulk of that money was most likely made in 2015-2017, obviously. My question is, how much money do you people think Undertale brings Toby Fox nowadays?
I just gotta say it guys.....I LOVE THIS HOBBY!!!!!!!
>>495922728sir this is /agdg//pgdg/ is down the hall to the right
>>495922728I don't have time to worry about how much money I will make after release I need to make game.
because 2 people asked for it, im adding controller support to my game (out now on steam) nolgorb's ordeal
>>495922728I've never played Undertale. Seen some streams of people playingI know there's a large following around the game, so I guess he probably made double that from merch and other stuff.And if he isn't doing merch, then he's missing out on a lot of money.If my game got that much of a following, I would do merch the next day.
>>495923212
>>495923212time to post an update post on steam and discount it
Made a procedural ladder system, you can change the height, width and amount of rungs
>>495850000Cris be like:>"enemies" are inherently bad game design because they fed into to idea that some people are 100% evil and deserved to be killed, giving a false idea of how people are in real life
>>495923212can you also make the menu usable too? jumping to options is a neat easter egg but annoying as fuck
>>495923421
>>495923524no
back to dev after my 5 day goontrap
>>495923421tutorial
>>495923445I used to think that way.Then I realize enemies in videogame, are methaphors for real life predators, and religious demons.Villains are methaphors for people with sociopathy, psychopathy and narcicism.So monsters and villains in videogames are nothing more than jungian methaphors from real life.

>>495921043
Do you ever visit and study really old games in order to find out what the game devs who inspired you were themselves inspired by?
>>495922728Using games like Undertale and Minecraft as a examples for the average dev would be kinda dumb don't you think? I've been following this game since release because I'm making something very similar myself https://store.steampowered.com/app/2971360/Metal_Queen_Dungeon/It had 26 reviews 2 weeks after release. 2 months later it only gained 2 extra reviews. I feel this is closer to reality for my potential sales. You should also research/check out games that are similar to yours in overall composition (genre, budget, etc.) and cast your judgement based on that.
>>495923721>>495923983https://files.catbox.moe/bxzq91.uassetRename it to BP_ProceduralLadder.uassetThen copy it into your projects content folder in the Windows File Explorer, not the Unreal Editor. I think it should work in your project then
>>495924913>actually delivering on the helpyou must be new here, may they never break your spirit senpai
>>495925005I've been posting different prototypes for over a year but never even got close to finishing anything lmao
>>495924630I chose Undertale because it would be easier to gage numbers for it because there's so much.So anyway, you got some numbers you can think of?

Tips for dev from the wage cage? Home life is in complete upheaval at the moment and I've got barely any work to do.I can't work from home, and I can't download an engine on my work device.Looking for online tools that I can write scripts in and maybe test them or some way to run Godot over web, if not I just need somewhere to write that I can send to git and have at home for testing when possible.If anons can work from a burger king surely there is a way to work from the cage?
>agdg is talking about willies againI'll come back in an hour
Why are agdg schizos so boring? they are not as interesting as the other colorful characters you can find in the other boards.
>raining outside>belly full>slippers onyep, it's devving time
>uh, I'll make a game... but first I need to learn... what can I do to distract myself from doing my hobby... hmm... YES, I'll learn classical painting, then I'll dev
>>495926727How many different ladders could you possibly need in your game for this to save you more than 5 minutes?It's also just a box-modeled ladder you could make in less than it took me to write this post, it's not like it has details or even texture or anything.
>>495926974cris is better than most other general characters.
>>495850000>moving platform pushes collision box>never told it to move>never told it to shift>never told it to change position for any reason>it shifts
>>495926542No we don't, troon.
>>495927135If you platform is moving slowly, that might just be the physics engine solving depenetration by pushing both object away from each others, except the platform is controlled by whatever the fuck make it move so it keep its position while the other appear "pushed".
nofap is a powerful yesdev tool
>>495927039The perfect mood.
>>495927113Cris I already told you grown dull and boring but still better than the common agdg schizo, which is not saying much in your current state you're simply not that interesting anymore.
>>495927335maybe its just you that have changed
>>495927435Nah, he's right. Cris doesn't even make anything anymore, it's all just excuses and procrastination.
>>495927107my game is about ladders of varying different sizes
>>495927282for me the problem only happens if the platform is moving fast, if its moving slow no clipping occurs
>>495927302I'm 38, fap 2-to-3 times a day, and have way more hairs than this.
>>495927113How old is Cris? Looks like a 30 year old with HIV/cancer
>>495927435I remember seeing other people post about how you're dead and you got replaced, or just lethargic so I can't be the only one noticing things.I see something I am a schizo, many other say they see it too I might be onto something.Maybe you're just old after hitting your 30s.

I saw you added some sexy collectable figurines, does the game have a gallery where you can zoom in/zoom out or a place where you can see all of them displayed together? Sorry if my criticism is a bit harsh I try to point out my impressions
>design a character>they are too sexy>worried people will think I'm a coomer or a pedo or worse a gay>scrap the designI'm such a chickenshit
