>>496122529always remember:for the difficult.
How do i fix this???Its not working.
I am especially curious about how games that have reached a certain wishlist (300-400+) and are not in any festivals can be moved forward with a demo.
How do (You) make game? Are you doing it right?
>>496122950Very slowly, thinking over all the mechanics and content carefully before eventually writing a bit of code.
>>496122892dump it and start a completely different project from 0.
>>496122950i buy ~30k assets per game, hire a coder to assist me, have my sister do the 3d art not covered by assets, and that's it.
why do we hate godot?
>>496123069This.
>>496123108Godon't*
>>496123108Trannies
>>496122950>Open paint and draw some characters>Open notepad and write some story>Once ill have enought story and characters the story will be completed and i will make a game adaptation of my story in rpgmaker.Thats how im doing it.
>>496123108I don't, but their evangelists are irritating.
this is the coat of the maw, it's a unique magic item.what does it do, /agdg/?
https://arch.b4k.co/_/search/boards/vg.meta/text/%22why%20do%20we%20hate%20godot%22/
Godot has ruined me. Ever since I downloaded it, I haven't been able to enjoy playing any other video games.
public bool GonnaMakeIt(){ return false;}
>>496123482Same. Godot Editor has completely taken over my life. It's the only video game I've played in like 3 years now.
>>496123467>mawI guess, suck dick?
>>496123467200% of damage dealt converted to health.
>>496123467Lifesteal.
i dont know what kind of game i want to make
>>496123469>24 Sep>23 Sep>22 Sep>21 Sep>19 Sep>16 Sep>16 Sepon any sane forum you'd get perma'd
>>496123467Reflect a bit of damage back.
>>496123719A game where you hire hitmen to track down and murder tripfags.
>>496123719A dating visual novel game about a man who reincarnated as a woman.In like the first few hours of the game he resists the advances of the romance intrests because he still believes hes a man even if his body is female now but then one day while he was walking home from his friends house at night he gets raped and the dick and the powerlessness to resist it felt so good it broke her mind and made her female both in mind and body and she abandons her old memories of being a man and embraces her womanhood.The romance instrest will try to cheer her up and swear to catch the criminal who did this to her and stuff but you can also choose to date your rapist instead of them and he will be spared from execution in that route if you choose to forgive him and marry him.It will be revealed later on that you are pregnant with your rapists child he impregnated you when he raped you that night.(regardless if you choose the rapist or any other romance intrests)If you dont choose the rapist he will already be dead from his execution by the time this is revealed to you.And you cant pretend its the child of your romance intrest because the rapist had dark skin so the baby wont look like its their child so you will need to be honest with your romance intrest and some will accept it and some of them will demand an abortion and you can choose to leave them and be a single mother or get the abortion or try to convince them more and some will change their mind and some wont and they will stop talking to you and start courting another girl that doesnt have kids from another relationship.You're welcome.
>>496123620Damn.
should my GMOD-like be an /agdg/ collab? I think GMOD-like has potential to have that wholesome /agdg/ community vibe to it. references to Blorb and our common culture.
>>496123719shut up
i give up, i really doim not cut out for this

>>496124169That's okay.
>>496124169Will you continue to day dream about goty award acceptance speeches?
>>496124427actually i just daydream about stumbling upon a 50 replies thread about my game on /v/...
gangstalkers really idled my game for 800 hours just to leave a negative review. how do you guys deal with this type of gangstalking?
>>496123373if you want to make those alien succubus creatures maybe you can make them having beast like teats instead of regular human breast as a weird factor but keep eyes with half closed eyelids, big poppy eyelashes and erotic lips (are all of them supposed to be evil?)
>>496124754by not making trash so bad you worry about one review?
Alice looks down on nodevs who always complain and will go to their houses to stick pennies into their iPhone chargers.
>>496123467it turns the enemies body into a gore paste and your body armor absorbs it, it's like eating but instantly, it gives the health it took from the enemy
>>496124754Reply to the review, "I love you"
>>496124903it's still 97% positive you're just a retard making retarded assumptions
Ufo50 of all my project hoppies. It's a folder with 50 sub folders of all these games. Now that I mention it, didn't someone do this? Or faked it? Dave or something It was narrated by a voiceover
>>496124754You’ll be aight. Perchance, is one of those gangstalkers a guy whose only accomplishment is making a hangman clone?

>>496125837
>>496125837I already did. More than 50 even. Mostly gamejam tier or worse. Often I'd make a game in a week.
>He posts anime pictures every waking moment instead of working on his game
>>496125557making jokes about an 800hr played negative review is not acceptable! - random nodev on agdg
reminder that we've been gamedevmogged by a fucking femoidalso, tiny glade got thousands of likes the first time it was shown off on twitter. if your game doesn't, it's basically DOA and is not worth investing time in. hundreds of likes per tweet are the bare minimum indicator that your game is going to make it. likes don't guarantee anything but not easily getting hundreds of likes guarantees a flop. it's where the market is right now and in the future: only the top 1% will make it, and you'll know if your game is in the bottom 99% if it's not getting hundreds of likes every time you post it.
>>496126596it's not a joke. he's legitimately worried about getting a single negative review.
>>496126724ackshually it's her and her husband blud
>>496126724your posts are so fucking easy to recognize. every day with the same spamtake a chill pill retarded doomer

>>496126737I'm the "he" you are referring to here retard
>>496127119anonymous website. sad you can't understand. not convincing anyone with your facade of irony either.
>>496126724My game looks so... Dry in comparison. It's set in a desert
>>496126596>>496127119So, you're a nodev writing fantasies about your nonexistent game?
>Action-CRPG with political factioneering and intriguehow to do this well?
>>496127215800 hours was a real number. It's a humorous real situation that apparently only yesdevs can comprehend
>>496123719I always had this wish game in mind: a sidescroller stealth game where you sneak inside apartment buildings, exploring the multiple floors, rooms and hallways all of this happening on a modern urban setting playing as a Rouge the Bat or similar character, you can defeat enemies and guards but its very risky so it's better to avoid/take care of them with stealth.The main character could have elements from Rouge The Bat, Doronjo, Catwoman, the haircut of Anna Williams... a stealthy anthro femme fatale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI-MqcZqnk4If a game dev would like to make something like that I would gladly buy it
>>496127423a real situation that you're posting about because you're so much of a shartdev that you worry about singular negative reviews.
>>496127529dude... that's almost my idea...
>>496127549so true! I am ruined! 97% positive! it's over!
>>496122950Players are small, defenseless, doe eyed empty headed animals that you have to gently yet firmly coax into performing more and more elaborate meaningless tricks for your amusement (making the number next to their character name go up generally works) while you continually skullfuck them with fail states if they perform even slightly suboptimally.
There is virtually nothing wrong with having a cuppa cobbee at night time
Maybe baking cakes is not really my thing...
Would a 3D house interior get better performance if:>floors/ceilings are part of the same mesh as the walls, requiring only one mesh but with more complex topology to account for the topo of the walls>floors/ceilings are separate meshes from the walls, requiring additional meshes but with less complex topo because they can just be simple planes regardless of how complex the walls are?I'm aware that this is splitting hairs on modern hardware, but curiosity's getting the better of me here.
Does your game have this level of SOVL?https://x.com/CrayonMelon/status/1839416881205448884

replaced the wrench with a baseball, you can taunt enemies with rightclick but it currently does nothingprobably gonna make it deal double damage if you hit the taunted enemy for 2 seconds or smth
>>496127823I just got home from work.My 9 hour old half finished cuppa coffee is on my desk in front of me.Should I?
>>496128317yes my game also looks like total shit
>>496127823makes it hard to sleep. I like to have one in the morning and one in the afternoon (but not too late)
>>496127823coffee is vile but other sources of caffeine are too expensiveso here's my midnight cuppa
>>496125837>Just make 50 drawings by yourself>Just make 50 songs by yourself>Just make 50 meals by yourselfWhy are gamedevs such pussies?
>>496126724God bless whoever made this game. Previously whenever I was busy devving my girlfriend would wander into my room every 30 minutes to bother me for attention, disrupting my train of thought. I bought her this game because I remembered her sending me the trailer and so far it's been the best $13 I've ever spent. Now she sits on the couch glued to her laptop for hours without a peep. I'll come into the living room when I'm done and she'll run over going "look! look!" to show me whatever she was making. It's like Minecraft for women.
>>496124850The one on the right is trying to look human.Loverians can mimic other species to help get their guard down... or just for fun.
>>496128601>any (modern) engine would sort it based on shader/materialNo they wouldn't, especially not godont.>>496128219Too complicated to answer, depends on the use case, if the floor and ceiling are separate objects then they can be culled if the camera can't see them and with modern graphics the shaders have way more overhead than some extra vertices. If this is an interior zone then definitely separate objects for the floor and ceiling. If you have a million houses then no, the drawcall overhead is too high.What you should be more concerned about is shadows not rendering properly where your walls meet the floor and ceiling.

>>496130131who the fuck mindbroke you so hard
>>496124850Also not all of them are evil but most of them are because making somebody sad/angry is easier than making somebody happy.Some choose the path of good and try to make everyone happy though.

>>496131065220mgs is about 3 cups of coffee or 8 cups of green tea.

>>496071380If you come up with a good framework for a detective game I wouldn't mind writing for it. It's a bit odd people would want to make a detective game when they can neither write nor program, however.
>>496131358I use blender with a trackpoint.Skill issue on your partIf you really really can't just buy a cheap Bluetooth mouse ffs.
>>496122892boku and cris linked up to make this game
why do troons make the best solo devs?
>>496128317this looks great>>496131654idk what a trackpoint is, i just have a trackpad, but basically it's my thinly veiled attempt of asking for advice lol

>>496131834any degree of agp and/or gender dysphoria is hard as a non stacy, and even most games have male protagonists, no social life stats just leave room for more time to gain skill stats
been out of the aggydaggy loop for around 2 months anything interesting happen?is the spammer still here?
>>496131568I wouldn't call waking up to the rancid smell of semen everyday an environment worth living in.
>>496130254>>496130884I don't want to be rude, but I don't understand why I so often see this sentiment here where the idea of having a girlfriend/having sex is a viewed as a totally foreign concept. Are you capable of understanding that your specific experiences aren't universal and that there are other people out in the world living totally different lives?
>>496132337I have 6 released games, zero ex girlfriends. Obviously they don't exist. They're like a carrot being dangled in front of our faces so we keep grinding and hoping.

Starting working on my rendering skills.In 3 days I'll master this.
>>496134806it is very important. I remember seeing Mortal Online 2 early gameplay, and just seeing how there was no stagger or 'weight' to swings. Like fighting in a dream.Juice is essential.

I miss that shit and it's not only "good bodies" it's also voice tone, body language... allure, sex appeal
>>496135783godno
I have like over 20 diffrent demos i never finished into full games.How do i stop project hoping and actually finish a game.
>>496135306It involves alot of skill and work. I think for models like these though they sculpt the textures then bake them onto a low poly mesh.
>>496134932>he thinks he can mimic the genius behind ufo 50 and thinks they're just random games

I am a complete and utter codelet (never written a single line of code before) and I want to make a 2D beat em up. I was talking to my programmer friend about this idea and he started explaining state machines to me. How difficult would state machines be for a total beginner to understand? From what I gather if I could figure out how this stuff works I could probably get at least the player's moves completed.>idle state>walking state>attacking state>jumping state>falling state>hitting attack while in falling state triggers downward attack stateSorry if any of this sounds retarded or is complete gibberish, I literally just learned about this stuff a couple hours ago.

Got a bunch of valuable feedback from 4chan for my game Hellbirther. Immediately made a shitload of changes based on the feedback. Surprisingly most people have been super kind and helpful. Some guy on /v/ thanked me for making the game and said it was exactly what he wants to see, which actually made me a bit emotional honestly.Things I changed as a result of 4chan feedback:>added craters that appear for all explosions (good idea random /v/ anon they look great)>made 3 songs have a less annoying melody (didn't know which song the guy complained about so I applied it to all of the candidates, high pitch notes were too loud)>made an in-game menu less bright and look better, someone said it hurt their eyes when the original bright orange screen suddenly popped up>difficulty and pacing adjustments to help things flow better and stop new players from spending too much time in a single mission>learned how to convert all timers to use CPU clock, so at some point I'll spend a while converting all 20,000 timers and 8,000 speed variables into using proper delta time (got roasted for not already doing this, yeah yeah I get it but I failed to understand how to convert my old timers until I got someone to explain it to me)>some big brain genius on /v/ said the HUD would be better if all info was in one place, immediately did that and it's a huge improvement>someone said reading the dialogue while fighting was hard, and I always thought the same, so my broke ass paid to add AI voice acting to all mission dialogue. I don't blame people for not liking AI voice acting but I did a lot of work to make the dialogue sound natural, so I hope that's good enough. There is real voice acting as well for certain stuff like mission briefings and I'll hire real voice actors for the cutscenes too (hopefully someone who worked on Ace Combat before <3)I would include footage but everything on YouTube is outdated now. Thank you to every person that gave input, I always take it seriously
>>496136634a state machine is basically a simple set of guard rails that keep your code from doing something stupid when it's not supposed tofor example, when light is red, your code is allowed to call the stop functionwhen light is green, your code is allowed to call the accelerate functionyou can think of a state machine as a bunch of stoplights in a row, except if you hit a red light, you just teleport to the next light to check if it's ok to pass through the intersection

>>496137252who cummed on the cards?
>>496137192you can probably do most of it with state machinesdepending on which tools you use, you might have to step out of that zone once in awhilein general though, state machines are very flexible and usually create code that is simple to understand and modify
>>496136634Not very difficult. Look up enums and switch statements. Just a forewarning, AI is the hardest part for a good beatemup.
>>496134501>>496134116the ps2 era would be here if it didn't require too much skill>>496134806good to know, this reminds me, tank controls were bad, they mastered moving 2d characters, idk why people acted like 3d made it so complicated that tank controls would seem like a good idea, are they just easier to program?

I dont get it.(coding)Everybody tells me its the easiest part of gamedev that its easier than music or art but it really isnt.I genuinely have no idea how to do anything with code.With 3D modelling i made my first 3D model of a human within a few hours of entering blender it wasnt good but it was a 3D model i did something even if there was a lot to improve i actually menaged to do something but with coding... i still have no idea what im doing after trying to learn for weeks.I have no idea what im doing im not even sure if im learning it feels like im not getting any closer to learning no matter how much time i spend trying.I dont get it... i really dont... and i dont think i will ever get it.

>>496135820I made my research, something like that but with the kind of character I described and maybe more focused on stealth than shooting (and a little bit more detailed buildings if possible)
>>496134932I’ll make the Final Fantasy clone.
What's your game studio 'theme' / profile?Mine will be enigmatic and a bit lighthearted, simulation and RP games. Like Lionhead Studios.With probably a name that indicates lightheartedness but also enigmatic.
>>496137669They why don't the people with similar tastes just team up?The real answer is because yes devs that post on aggy are by nature NGMI devs, by posting on aggy.Being able to work in a team will require you to be a gmi dev with a team of gmi devs with similar interests.For instance dingodev and pogodev have similar games they could work together.Only nodevs want collabs to compensate for their lack of talent.A team of nodevs is still no games, and no games is ngmi.How an actually aggy collab will happen is outside of aggy.That's why I was kind of surprised by the asynchronous anonymous collab proposal, because it could actually work, but it fell through revealing to me the fact that only no devs have interest in collabs because NGMI yes devs are too busy trying to become GMI devs.

>>496134740If I manage to get my hand a low poly aggy model I'm immediately starting to work on an aggy game.After years of waiting for someone to make an aggy game I'm starting to think that I should probably do it myself.
>>496139239>Raised by 4chanNow why would you go and admit that? Touch some grass or something.
Open world game that seems small in the overworld but when you enter the town its 2x bigger than the entire overworld map and when you enter a house its 2x bigger than the city map and when you enter a room of the house its 2x bigger than the house and when you enter the closet the closet is 2x bigger than the room and actually the total area of the game is 2x bigger than the surface of the real planet earth and it will take you multiple lifetimes if you want to explore the entire world of the game.
>>496136890with all my honesty, try to improve those visual assets in the final product >>496137252if each dev stealthy and subtly puts his fetish in each minigame I can see this becoming a soulful thing (just aim lower since you have less experience and press buzz, a nice collection of 25 well made, non pozzed games will be enough

>>496139658Your idea is mine now.
>>496139443camera moviment feels strange
>>496138859you're looking at games like they're some kind of engineering project, like building a house.When actually they are art.You are asking "Why doesn't Van Gogh just team up with Claude Monet to make an epic super painting???"
>>496134740there was only one shitposter that spammed AI "models", nobody really does that kind of low poly
>>496139624Why would I be ashamed about it? 4chan is my real family. I've been here my whole life. Ironically I was originally being groomed at the time, but not any more
>>496139806this is true, that's why the people who work with me on the GMOD-like need to mesh well with the vision.I can't have some guy who wants it to look anime and have balatro mechanics.
>>496139806t. thinks fixing a basic bug should be an entire endeavor because his codebase is a rube goldberg machine of state
The only ones I've seen pull off this style with some charm are the modelers from SA. Perhaps its due to their affinity for dragonboll.

>get a bunch of youtubers covering my demo>none of them spell the game title correctly-ack
>>496126724>tiny glade got thousands of likes the first time it was shown off on twitter. if your game doesn't, it's basically DOA and is not worth investing time inThis is only true if your game is riding on graphics or overall concept. Vampire survivors didn't get thousands of twitter updoots, it looks like shit, it's the type of game that has to be played. So instead of twitter success some games require a demo to be validated
>>496139806So you're a hobby dev? That is strange, why don't hobby devs team up?Probably because of what you said, they see themselves as artists who have no interest in clashing visions, no interest in compromising
>>496140342well thats what u get for naming it ctesvfasdpousfer
>>496140342>get a bunch of youtubers covering my demo>jk its fucking shit so no one plays it

>>496140074I'm working on a "low poly" loli model, I'm going to finish it soon.I just got home.
just decide on an idea you all agree with beforehand, and write up a 'constitution' which is the GDD.
>>496139806People team up all the time, just not here.
>>496140546I look like the second girl
>>496140652That's why I thought the async-anon thing could work, but ultimately it doesn't progress the developer. It doesn't give the hobby dev his vision of art, and it doesn't give the yes dev his desire of gmi.
>>496140510I'd be interest in compromising a personal vision for a shared vision that would be better, but I've yet to see any agdg idea guy really sell any particular vision worth compromising for.
>>496137396>and usually create code that is simple to understand and modifyOnly if you keep your states finite with clear routes for entry and exit and you cleanup all flags before exiting. If you do an unstructured one where a 'director' determines what state to go into at any time and the state starts reaching outside of itself then you'll end up with a ball of tangled string that's really hard to work with as I'm discovering.
any sites with already designed games i can just implement?
>>496140936I think it just needs to be the right idea desu.And I think I have just the GMOD-like to motivate everyone in a sense of "Yeah... uh, this has to be made!"
>>496139784Would you say it's because of the rotation or the mouse lookahead? Maybe both? I'm particularly immune to motion sickness and visual effects so I'll need some serious playtesting on that.>>496140167thanks
>>496140706https://z0r.de/1544
>>496139675also the collection will need a lore, I like the idea of the old /trash, imagine a whole landfill planet with rusty metal machinery, green oozing containers and mutant tribesmen, sometimes "the great dropper" appears, a colossal spaceship as dirty as a organic container with huge doors in its belly releasing tons of scrap and from that scrap our survivor gets his games >>496137741as I said 2 threads ago, consider adding portraits of the pilots in your spaceship game
>>496140510What does hobby dev have to do with what you're saying?I'm not a hobby dev. The other person would make the game worse by their opposing vision, or their inferior dev skills.And I'm compensated for my extra work by having %100 rev share.

>>496123719Let's make OUR gayme then!t. retarded guy
does cris still even post here...?
>>496141065virus
>>496141919Hey Cris
What's a unique take/mechanic on roguelike deckbuilders?I am unoriginal and uncreative.
Can your game do this?
>>496142275This game is so fucking boring
When does a game warrant having a launcher?And would your launcher be SOVL or generic?
>>496142275this is what my game would do if i made it lol
>>496142395I'm considering this for my games.and my launcher would be Sovl ofc.
>>496141607yes, something like that, and those portraits being animated according the circumstances like taking damage, shooting, idle... to give more personality to the game and don't look like another spaceship sidescroller, this is something I wish Sine Mora did, it gives you a certain connection/attachment to the pilot/crew despite being extra work.Remember that TV in Pizzatower that always shows Pepino's emotions? something like that
>>496142275I will never ever understand the appeal of these games. When I play cozy games, I just ask myself 'What the hell am I doing?'. There's no fail state just time investment.
>>496142395there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages to having a launcher, but in the case of MMO projects it just verifies that the client is the correct version to connect to the server, and allows the client to update if it needs it
>>496142275I don't get it.
>>496141607nta but having pilot/crew member portraits at the top right or something during the mission would be nice.
>>496140905People here team up all the time too. It just doesn't result in shipping a complete game, same as anywhere else.
>>496141919yes anon.I was posting my today progress doing krita.see>>496134874
>>496141895>picrel
people just need the right idea. I think I got it. It's a GMOD-like with a bunch of opportunity of /agdg/ memes and a kind of early 2000's GMOD meme culture.
>>496134932We should do something more like Devolver Bootleg where each dev makes a slightly shittier knockoff version of their own game
>>496142387>>496142553They're for women and children. It's ok if you don't like them, your brain isn't wired to enjoy this type of stuff. Women like cute things and raising/nurturing things as they watch them grown. It triggers all the reward centers in the female brain.
>>496138859I don't team up unless with closest friends cause I don't want to share the revenue, besides I don't think anyone actually decent will work for my game for free. I don't care about my vision being compromised in areas where I have no ability myself.
>>496142542with over 50 characters in the roster so far that could be a pretty huge art scope increasei doubt this feature will make it into early access (we're pushing hard to finalize a trailer so we can launch early access on Steam in October) but i'll consider it for full release scopei need to add some pop-up UI for characters to speak mid-mission anyway so i guess this would just be an extension of that in a way
>>496126724she probably would've done worse if it weren't for the fact she revealed she is female off plain looks which is enough to draw simps in. put some ugly balding dysgenic looking man in her place from the start and i highly doubt it'd sell as wellt. was rejected by tomo in being the face of my companyt. t. maybe i should get a hot 18 year old girl from argentina doing it for cheap consider how far my dollar goes there
>>496142275>what if wojak was cute?I miss when Wojak was raped and shat on by Pepe.This is like gentrifying those edgy Newgrounds animations.

>>496142762Eric liked Harvest Moon.
>>496142647>cris actually improving
>>496142647did you draw the face too? that's looking pretty alright, maybe you should practice your art like this more, instead of messing with random "workflows"
>>496139658ufo50 has a game like this called Mini and Max
>>496142856>I miss when Wojak was raped and shat on by Pepe.newfag alert, imagine thinking that shit was the og kys
>>496142757>slightly shittier knockoff version of their own gamegood idea too
>>496142762Children do not play slime rancher. Lobotomized adults are their audience.
>>496142932yes, we're going to enter into a latter Big Bang Theory type of arc where most of us become famous game devs. Like how the guys in Big Bang Theory ended up getting accolades and gfs by the end of the series.It's just how it is.
>>496143027What games do you play?
>>496142790>with over 50 characters in the rosterwhy do you even need so many? specially when you only see them on a selection menu? seems to me a wasted potential, 5 or less well made charismatic characters would be much better in my opinion and people would pick the game because "I want to play with that character I like"

i give up
Ok there is some kind of desire to collab on this site, and I think I know why it doesn't work. Because it seems like a waste of time.But check this thread out: >>>/v/690098319The TL;DR is that if you just make a clone for a game you're likely to attract fans from that game to guarantee success for your game.I mean almost all indie games do this even unintentionally just cause they're inspired by games they like.Mario -> endless 2d pixelslop shartformerSouls games -> Infinite """""souls""""likes on steamtop down rpgs -> a gorillian games about le hecking depressionEven indie games are getting cloned now.My thought is to make a monster hunter clone. It's perfect, no one else has infested the niche yet.
>>496143706Well, my game be properly following the law by the time it comes out. Of course. I mean come on.
>>496143128There are lots of ships and lots of characters because each character has a unique combination of positive and negative stats that you can use to customize how your ship performssome ships have secondary abilities like automatic gunners or different weapons. some ships have cloaking instead of boosting, etc.some crew members also add automatic gunner slots or change your weaponsthe game is structured around teams of people in a corporation, too - different teams have different thematic bonuses and maluses depending on their function in the company. Corporate HQ characters usually increase your looting / money drops, whereas IT department crew typically increase the amount of engine performance or shielding you get.could we do it with a smaller roster? probably, but we like our large rosteri get it tho. some people liked chrono trigger better than chrono cross for similar reasons
What I'm trying to say is that games need something to push the player to engage with it's systems. The presence of a fail state like paying off a debt that keeps increasing. These cozy games need something like that.
>>496143706Not unless your game is a communist nazi pedo simulator or a pokemone clone.Game companies only bring up patents as an ultimate weapon against bad actors.
>>496142275The problem with "cozy" games is that comfort is at its best when it's a reward after going through something tough.These games make comfort something "default".
>>496142932tfw my $5000 chainstink bag of avg price 0.20 went to $50 and sold it all at an avg sell price $57.30why yes i don't wage anymore or at least i didn't until world lines changedt. anon from the world who bought chainstink AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA why didn't you buy it in this world line anon!!!! i'm poor again! now we have to make it off this ngmi vidya gaem!
>>496143815moronwe already tried to clone sdv for the last collab
>>496143748stardew combat is like minecraft graphics
>>496142762I mean the farming was kind of fun, but the whole game was just too easy and low risk
>>496143886this is why if you binge entertainment all day it feels hollow but after working on your game all day, it feels so much sweet to relax and watch an episode of Star Trek Original Series.
>>496143885nintendie who doesn't know shit moment
anons need to actually make a comfy game.Just make sure the player can't be hurt by the enemies and you can do shit like attack the enemies.For like giving player goals you could do shit like collecting coins or points or collecting items, as your main objective.And for game over mechanics, you could use a timer.And for dificulty progression, you can have a leveling progression from arcade games where the time drops faster until the player can't continue the pace.Basically It would be no diferent from some TV contest.This is what I've been trying to do with my games, until I developed that formula of something cozy but with still game over and dificulty curve.Pretty sure you could take this formula and do something like a supermarket simulator or street cleaner or coffee farmer.
>>496143886>anon who doesn't understand cozy-likes but is talking like he does
>>496143664>system that forces you to come up with a new idea instead of just taking someone else's = anti-innovationuh
>>496143886Women don't want to go through something tough. A lot of people don't. That's why TV exists, you sit there and watch it. Cozy games are just slightly more interactive TV for zoomers
any idea guys want to give me an idea for a top down 2d game where everything is dark and your character has a flashlight that will make it stand out from the ten thousand other games of that sort?
>>496144048other examples of gameplay patents being enforced?
>>496144058Honestly, this sounds like a chill idea. A game where you just vibe and collect stuff without the stress of dying is a refreshing take. Like, who needs all the frustration of getting wrecked by enemies? A cozy supermarket simulator could totally work—just roaming the aisles, stacking shelves, and collecting points while avoiding the chaos of angry customers. Or a coffee farmer game where you grow beans and manage your little farm sounds cute as hell. The timer mechanic for difficulty is interesting too; it keeps things engaging without being punishing. People want that comfort food gaming experience, not another rage-inducing grind. I mean, if you nail the aesthetics and sound design, you could create a very cozy atmosphere. Just imagine the music and art style being all chill and inviting.
>>496143849mmmm, well at least you have a very nice looking pixel art, if you can't animate the portraits consider adding the ones you have already made showing on a corner of the screen (some of those waifurs are so lovely...)
>>496142932I actually developed a method that actually works to learn a skill in like 2 weeks, in the last 2 years.I only need a couple of days to improve a shitton in art.>>496142969The goal wasn't to practice drawing, but practice rendering.I will draw an anime girl from scratch in a couple of days after the painting session.
>>496144087>all of technology has been iterative, built on the before>all of a sudden now, you can't do that because uh hecking you can't just make money off of my design, i don't care how innovative you are, you copied my design, made it better and you aren't allowed to do that okay?
>>496144154do the Doom 3 thing where batteries run out and you have to shoot to see or whatever, I never even played it
>>496143912You're right, we should try to clone SDVPixelslop and 2d programming is clearly more within aggy's skill set
>>496144198luv u 2don't forget to wishlist when we go live on Steam next month
>>496144326name of the game? I am not sure if I have it wishlisted
>>496144153I swear some of yall gay or something. Why don't you guys understand women?
>>496143456Didn’t you already post that picture?
>>496143882Recettear is decidedly not a comfy game. It was quite hard, and mostly appealed to autistic men. Something like Mystia's Izakaya is significantly more comfy, since it was trivially easy to pay off your debts in that.
visual novel in unreal engine, yay or nay?
>>496144194yeah, I think is an amazing core design, that feels extremelly comfy, but keeps the elements of challenge and game over of normal games, but without forcing the frustration of combat.Ironically it took me 2 years of prototypes to design that loop.
hi
>>496144154Yeah, try to do what project zomboid does but better you know since it's shit nowalso call the game age of zion
>>496144268That would actually be pretty coolI started working on some darkwood-like player mechanics after seeing pyrofagicals video and just kinda don’t know what to do with them. It would be cool if you had like a lmg or something and had to shoot tracers to see but idk how annoying that would get
>>496144437yes it most closely matches how she looks.
>>496144387https://loftyloftyloftyloftylofty.itch.io/amazoom-blimp-jockey-69the page isn't up on Steam yet because a trailer is required and we're still working on thatSteam discussions are live though
>>496144476Based on how fast modders are, it should be possible to clone Project Zomboid in a tenth of the time.
I don't get games from gamedevs sometimes.Take a look at r/IndieDev front page or even /agdg/.There are so many games that look and play like shit. There's not a single bit of potential. Why make it? Why put in all that effort and work for something so shitty?There's like maybe 5% that at least have potential. Those are worth it.
>>496144254The vast majority of inventions occurred after patents became a widespread thing, and occurred in the countries that had the strongest IP law & patents (Britain, America, Germany, France).Turns out giving someone the exclusive rights to make money off their ideas is a very strong financial incentive to come up with new ideas.
>>496144667post game
>>496144667You ever consider that you have shit taste?
Reminder to shill your games.Buy ads, make twitter posts, talk to streamers, give out keys to shitters, participate in jams. You have to do it all WHILE you make your game, not when it's 1 month from release.>But that only gets me like 100 salesIt's better than 0 sales. If you're here, statistically speaking, you don't have enough friends or connections to go viral. Please learn from the mistakes of others.
>>496144437Fuck sake remake the screenshots from a proper copy you greasebag and downscale them to thumbnail size while you haven't done it yet.
>>496144667I suspect they got crabbed into making games that they don't want to play or make. So they've been conditioned to not even take into account their own opinion on their game.
>>496144536I already had that page saved I wish you a great release and a future full of nice releases (also full with waifurs)

I should probably just give up on the PS1 style meme. this only took ~30 minutes, just warming up after a break texture filtering leaves me with late 90s early 00s PC stuff like Max Payne, N64 or early PS2 / GCbiggest challenge is going to be characters; can't texture paint for shit and not having segmented limbs would suck since it means weight painting, rigging etc

When I spawn a mesh to do an animation he has this weird silhouetting shit going on and it's not present anywhere else. Does anyone know what this is or how to prevent it?

>>496145735my best guess from your screenshot is that you are rendering a foreground object without updating rendering for your background, so it just keeps whatever pixels were already there as ghosts
I've yet to see a hidden gem indie game that deserved better sales than it got.

>>496146297this is why I don't want a discord.silence from a YouTube channel is mysterious.An entire silent discord can initiate a herd mentality where people see that not only is the owner not paying attention, but no one else is paying attention. Because it is a 24/7 link.People barely hang out in YouTube comment sections except on the newest videos who cares. but a discord is a public display of engagement. And I know I'd have to play the discord game at that point. Which I do not want to play.
I dont get why people join discord servers for indie games. They are providing feedback and even modding for free.

>>496146706I wasn't implying anything about the patent, just that the nemesis system is "god tier game design" to idea guys and sticking it in another genre is the extent of their ideas
>>496146520It's almost as if people want their transaction to be worth it by improving the very game they bought and played.
>>496146672I thought this list is made with a name generator until I checked a couple.Fair enough, next step: what was their mistake?

>>496145423found this image, put it into ShoeBox's texture ripper to straighten it out, re-arranged what it spat out via photoshop, resized to 128x128 and then indexed the colors to 16 total then just made the sofa in blender, used a lot of UV 'Project from View' combined with 1 2 and 3 on the numpad for straight-on views, then moved the UVs over the texture, set the material to closest or linear depending on what you want. also select all UVs and select snap all to pixels in the UV editor to clean it up just a tiny bit, if the pixels are going to be visible that is I'll follow up this post with another texture method for low poly, if it helps https://renderhjs.net/shoebox/

Why haven't you been able to make a game that focus 100% on a sub niche of your genre instead of trying to compete with the best games of your genre?

>>496145735Problem solved, for anyone who ever deals with this print a string to check how many times an overlap event is being activated.

What's a good artstyle in 2D that can make attractive characters but is not anime?
>>496149759some markets have simply enough demand for the people to still buy your game, even if it's not the best.people buy rpg maker games because the market for rpg maker is much bigger than the market of 2D platormers.

>>496138452The Blackbox strikes again!
>>496149516Check this out:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRMgzkwumfcWe need a new genre: the Nostalgia Genre. These are idiots remaking an old game. In this case, it is Chrono Trigger. They use the same time periods and throw in more anime.Making my own RPG, I have my ear up to all the indie RPG developers out there. THIS IS VERY COMMON. They ALL are remaking some 16-bit or PlayStation RPG type game. NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ORIGINAL. And the ones that THINK they are doing something original is nothing more than a basket of tropes.This ‘Threads of Time’ will flop. If people want to play Chrono Trigger, they’ll go and do just that. This game does not differentiate itself in any way. The animation actually makes it worse.People do not realize that Chrono Trigger DID NOT SELL WELL outside Japan. When the DS version came out, same problem again. The bargain bins were full of Chrono Trigger DS.Why did Chrono Trigger not sell well outside of Japan? I can go into that in more detail. But the reason why it didn’t sell outside Japan is probably the reason why it did sell well in Japan. Anime is not popular outside Japan. And no, not even today with the ‘modern’ generation. Chrono Trigger is too close to anime which harms it. Bizarrely, that is one reason why it is so beloved. The game’s story is very childish with the characters being ridiculous. Final Fantasy 6 comes across as literature in comparison to Chrono Trigger. Spiky haired mute character is not what Americans think is a ‘great protagonist’.So I don’t know why games keep copying Chrono Trigger. It’s like the indie devs are retarded or something. If you’re going to copy a game, at least do one that proved itself to have sales. Even the ip holder knows the game doesn’t make money which is why they do nothing with the ip!
>>496144829I’ve been hunting for a high quality version, but considering most of Kievnauchfilm’s archives were destroyed after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it’s been a difficult process. Do you have any idea how heartbreaking it is to not have this in 4K Ultra HD on Blu-Ray with Dolby Surround Sound?If ReBoot’s master tapes were found and preserved, I’m holding out hope some creepy slimeball movie collector is hoarding the negatives to this classic.

>doesn't know the difference between a compiler and an OS>shitposts anywaysWhy are nodev tripfags always like this?
>>496150616They have a pre-existing audience base they tell to leave reviews, so their sale/review ratio is probably lower than normal like with Marmo. "100 reviews" therefore is not as big an accomplishment as with a normal game.
>>496150331This looks awful.>>496150361I want my game to have attractive characters. However, I feel that anime artstyle is a bit overused in games with attractive characters right now (look at all those gacha for example). The problem is that I am making a 2D game and the only non-anime artstyles that I find look good are 3D. I like the Pixar-style of Blizzard games and the idealized "realism" of Square-Enix games, but I wouldn't know how to replicate those styles in 2D.

>>496150270I don't know what Chrono Trigger is but I've given up on my turn of the century RPG because it's not getting any interest. Literally 500 page views on Steam without a single wishlist. Fuck it, I don't have 3 years to sink. Learned some lessons and cutting my losses.
>>496150361>>496150986Also forgot to say: "furry" is not an artstyle.

>>496138495You just have to break down problems and steal from other people. To give you an example, I wanted to implement a swinging mechanic, so I first figured out how and when to activate the swing, THEN, I stole some guys code for making a pendulum and fucked around with it for like 5 days until it behaved just how I needed it to, and then made it apply velocity to the player based on its speed that I also stole. Basically break shit down, steal and use ai if you're a codelet like me

How do you figure out the perfect balance for enemy AI aggressiveness in Souls-like/Sekiro?If the enemy is too aggressive: then you're constantly blocking/parrying and it gets so boring.If the enemy is too passive: then you're basically just punching a punching bag and it gets boring.If the enemy is in the middle: then you're attacking but how do you know when the enemy is suddenly going to start attacking?

>>496157837I mean... I bought the game, it had a lovely character and stages but I was unable to pass the 3 world and this game looks like that

I just compared Claude, chatGPT and Gemini on asking some code questions and Gemini is by far shittiest of the three.
>>496158074Also a "Pseudoregalia-like" is literally just a Metroidvania but in 3D. That's like calling an RPG a "Final Fantasy-like"

>>496159528Outside of being 3D, Pseudoregalia is not distinct enough to be it's own sub-genre within a genre.
>>496160085that's not your place to decide

sorry sister, i just said "pseudoregalia-like" because i didn't wanted to explain my 3d platformer idea, i didn't even played pseudoregalia, now stop bitching and give me a good idea for a twitter bait character
>>496160254How about be an adult and think for yourself for once? Or is that too hard for the average aggy anon nowadays?
>>496150632I'm about to reach this point as well. I'm in a terrible situation as well.>Cut the scope10-50 reviews>Go the full scope50-1000 reviewsWhat's the point of going the full scope if a dice roll can get me 50 reviews with cutting the scope all while the dice roll on the full scope lands on 50 reviews.... I'm stuck in a terrible place. If I cut the scope I can at least move onto a game I'd consider funner and more gmi then my current. But then it'll be sitting in the back of my head, "what if the dice roll went well? I could've gotten enough to just not go back to the wagecage and proceed to dev this new game without the uncertain malaise." Or I do it and waste over a year on it and end up flopping anyways. That one will sting harder than the what if game.
>>496156150Tamers12345, the greatest animator of our time.
I think about making a beatemup with abilities and rpg elements like this everyday. It's so futile because there's not much left you can do with the limitations of the genre but whenever I see this I immediately get hard.I'm not bringing anything new to the genre and the cost to make alot of content is way too high. It's one of those games you want to make and play but know its not worth the effort.>>496157612Look up battle circle or the kungfu circle.https://code.tutsplus.com/battle-circle-ai-let-your-player-feel-like-theyre-fighting-lots-of-enemies--gamedev-13535t

>>496136808Kek'd. This is how you know the average wagecage job is so bad that a non-married man would rather rent out his house and live in a cuckshed then to go back to the wagecage.The one in my pic actually looks quite cozy and would be something I'd live in on a huge plot of land after I make it but while awaiting the actual house being fully built. Would be cozy devving like that but only if you don't need to wage.
>>496160732Forgot to add gameplay>>496161217https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrHKzKQdZxY
>>496134932Could we really pull this off?I think maybe.Everyone contributes one small game in the same engine. Agdg collabs tend to fail because people have conflicting visions. But if everyone worked on their own project and contributed to the whole, it could maybe work.We could even make an itch jam for it. Say, a 2- or 3-month deadline.Everyone gets equal shares of the profits, with bonuses going to those whose games get the most playtime.
>>496159271a futa boomer shooter game like that would be something I would buy if the sprites are appealing
yay i got 3 more yaku done today only 15 to go!! feels good to be making progress again. it revealed a bunch of broken functions that i thoguht were working for calculating them though kinda confused but whatever
>>496134932>>496137252>>496143582>>496142757I'd be interested but aren't we going to have a problem with massive amount of incohesive art styles? Sure some in-cohesive is fine eg 2D top down, 2D side scroller, 2.5D, and 3D but aren't those within the same category needed to look cohesive? I guess the easiest way out of having to make them all cohesive is by making sure each game meets a bare minimum on the art quality, eg one 2D game doesn't look like a bad ms paint job while the next 2D game looks like pixel gold tier quality
>>496161217You are asking for specific numbers, this requires alot of play testing to figure out.
>>496162003what program is that
>>496134932>>496162021You should all use a nes-snes style or it will look like those collections of shovelware that came free on those 00's pc magazines

learning coding and art killed all my imagination, i can't dream or think of amazing ideas like i did back when i started this.
>>496162028obsidian its really good for project management stuff for solo dev>>496162614theyre the actual names of the files in my project (thus the names like aka_dora) i could easily write 小三元 if i wanted to but this is easier and im not gonna make the file names japanese for obvious reasons
>>496134932what a coincidence that your idea for a collab offloads 100% of the design and development of the game onto other peopleits almost like you're only trying to collab because you can't make a game
>>496162829Sounds like a you problem. I literally have too many ideas that they're all going to go with me.
>>496163042post art
Ok here's my collab game idea:SRPG similar to FE/unicorn overlordit will be made in unrealI (chatgpt) will codeneed artfags and any other coders who may be interested
>>496161565It's possible. About the project architecture, the devs just have to code the game and when needed call some global functions from the project:>add points: Score.add_points(25)>game over: Score.game_over()>check challenges: Challenges.unlock_challenge(name, num)Where Score, Challenges are globals>>496162021>>496162536>contribute to an art repositorythat's good it could have requests to it too
>>496163224Can I see the games you've made so that I know you can actually make a game? You know, like people expect artists to post their art so people know they can actually make art.
Ryan Clarke wanted to make a turn based version of Spelunky combining quick decision making on a top down grid. While testing it he noticed there was a rhythmic flow to the gameplay and as a result birthed what is known as Crypt Of The Necrodancer.

>>496164761Holy kino.
>>496164036A shame you completely discarded the other one but that design is also cute.I'm still watching you. And specifically you.
Good marketing is the difference between "My game is making the same as an average wage job" and "My game is making as much as a good job I could brag about!"For many of you commenting on marketing and publishers that difference is "My game isn't making me anything" and "My game still isn't making me anything"
>>496164168she is already beautiful enough >>496164425she is a rat, sorry sir but i don't have the game, i can sell you the digital photography and the character design legal rights for 5 rupees sir>>496164893i am not him, that anon probably already finished the model and is just sleeping
>>496164565i think i have that, i dont understand economical numbers and taxes...
all this talk of collabs made me realize a lot of you social outcasts looking for a herd to feel safe in.I'm a social outcast too but I can make games and I have made games and I don't need anyone to collab with.you should really try to work on your own. start with pong, then move to a Skyrimlike, then a Daggerfall like and soon you'll gain enough confidence not to act like a stray puppy on the side of the road.
so i'm nearly done shitting out a meme game, what exactly are the steps needed to publish on steam? do i need to create an LLC?
>>496164925You can't just be spitting facts like that, anon.
>>496165010Mmm I dunno
>>496165010no. unless you think someone will sue you because of your game and take everything you have. the point of LLCs is to separate your personal property from your company.
>>496165005I mostly want someone else to do the work for me but nice try
>>496134932the basic
>>496165245ah i see, well the game is very safe politically and i didn't steal assets or code so i should be good, right?
>>496122950By writing 500 pages of deep lore and worldbuilding before the first line of code, by which point I get too tired and projecthop. It is the only way.
>>496164987you better don't reduce those robo hips and ass.Also consider making the nose of the mice girl a bit more noticeable, as it is it looks like a monstergirl, just a bit of a little pointy nose or a salmon pink triangle could work better
>>496165253that's a gmi attitude, unless you'll be ceding some creative control and ownership in which case what I wrote applies to you.
>>496165005>start with pongThe worst thing is they could turn those cheap simple arcade games into erotic versions (futa, furry, femboy...) and make some quick buck on Steam
>>496165328yeah. I mean in theory you can already be personally sued for literally anything by anybody, but say if someone claimed you're infringing on their IP like a patent troll or something, having an LLC would limit how much they could get even if they win.but you're literally more likely to be stabbed by a mugger so I wouldn't worry too much about it until your game becomes high profile and then you can form an LLC
I just can't get over how ridiculous godot is. It takes 26 milliseconds to run 10000 raycasts by code in _process(). 8 milliseconds to do it in _physics_process(). 6 milliseconds if you use a RayCast3D node in _process() and 4 milliseconds if you use the node in _physics_process().I should've done simple tests like this when I started my project to know how to optimize better and also avoid blaming the wrong things for slowdowns.
>>496161558Taking a look at this, you can see the enemies are just standing still, practically like punching bags.It's kind of boring, isn't it?
>>496165253with all that passion in this creative job you have a bright future... in the streets
>>496165314basedhow do we decide on engineare there any definitive rules for ui scaling and resolution?who is gonna put it all together?
>>496165818>jobUhhhhh I have a real job you know
>>496165805>you can see the enemies are just standing stillIt's a common mechanic to limit how many enemies can attack the player at one time. Even ubishart FPS games use it so the player doesn't get overwhelmed with targets.
>>496165805Unfortunately, there isn't much footage of the game as it shut down quickly in the west. This is from the tutorial.
>>496165314size restrictions?
It might be fun to whip out a small minigame for the AGDG-50 collab.Maybe even a tiny version of my main game.
>>496165779I have zero idea what the difference between _process and _physics_process is for implementation if functionality you only want physics_process. Where do inputs go if you can check for inputs in processes too?
>>496165779>4.2dude update to 4.3 already4.4 is already in devrerun those numbers so you don't look like a fool

i need somebody to help me do my taxes... im a game developer for heavens sake... not a.. tax doing person...
>>496165779Now this is getting interesting, just the act of changing the raycast position causes it to go from 4 milliseconds to 88 milliseconds... I wonder what will happen if I do the same with the raycast by code.>>496166221>I have zero idea what the difference between _process and _physics_process is for implementationAnd neither does anyone else who uses the engine because they don't make it clear anywhere. In my experience you shouldn't put any code in _physics_process() if you can help it because it will slow down the physics simulation. FPS loss from slow code in _process() is tolerable, physics slowing down isn't; it looks super fucking weird and people will be confused why the game isn't stuttering but everything in it is moving wrong.But that is just my surface level experience, some one further along in their project may have other ideas.
Just realized I overcomplicated something and there was a way easier solution.

Has anyone figured out how to make a flanking path?
>>496168230no such thing, godot is good for pixel too
>>496167458>What if you have 10,000 rays casts that force update themselves?The node overhead would be big. Changing the target for raycasts by code doesn't seem to incur any performance hit. This is very strange.

>>496166851Anything that involves changing any data that affects gameplay should happen inside _physics_process. _process is for any purely graphical process that has no impact on the underlying gameplay data. At 60 physics frames per second (the default), you have 16.66ms to process a physics frame, which is enough to process thousands of actors if you're not doing anything stupid. If you do need to do something stupid, move it to it's own thread. Btw, you can easily move PhysicsServer processing to its own thread (collision checks) from the project settings.
