BATTLEBIT... BUT MEDIEVAL!!
a game where you are the tentacle monster
Post game.
Make good games
I just don't know how to make a game
battlebit but medieval would actually be sick though, imagine playing a tank knight and cutting down tons of player peasants
>>496241550Made a minuscule grin on ny face. Thanks.

you're walking in the woodsthere's no one around and your phone is deadout of the corner of your eye you spot himShia Labeouf

>>496242269it better not despawn but actually runs away with the tree blocking line of sight
It says my review doesnt count because its from a key will deleting the game from the account and buying it again with money work and make my review public?Or do i need to make a new account just for reviewing this one game

reworking the car handling so that it fucntions well for both combat and racing which has been quite a challenge.>vid relatedhope everyone is making solid friday progress
>>496242495gamemaker and godot are both tranny engines
>>496242350>it better not despawn but actually runs away with the tree blocking line of sightWas trying to decide which route to go with that, I'm doing animations and shit right now. The walk looks okay but aside from reading "The Animator's Survival Kit" I have zero experience. The runs I keep churning out look goofy as fuck and not in a spooky way.
>>496242212Man I like godot alot but I'm just so sick and tired of the culture war shit period. Got instant blocked, maybe it's time to pick up stride (lol) again.
How to prepare multiple collision shapes in blender for godot export?When I'm adding a second collision and renaming it to collision-colonly it automatically changes it to collision-colonly.001 and it doesn't work
>>496243140i was only kidding, the player won't see it anyway right?
>>496243140Animation foundationals are meant to make your animations look cannyFor spooky shit you WANT things to look uncanny
>>496243203nvm figured it outI've just had to rename it to collision2-colonly
>>496242212What's better...Wokot or Gaydot?

Eric stuns the crowd in Tokyo with a brand new tshirt!
>>496243490it just stole your monero
>>496243490Your one review isn't going to turn a flop into a success. Give up.
>>496243572>Eric stuns the crowd in Tokyo with a brand new tshirt!
>>496242907That feels damn good. I hope to make tons of progress today too.
>>496243278I have a lot of things that are just sounds that I recorded but there are a bunch of animations I'm partially through doing that I'm not going to FORCE the player to see, my hopes being that everyone will spot a couple but not everyone will see them all in a play. This is my first game so I may trim it down for the sake of finishing before halloween. >>496243293the difficulty I'm having is that all my run cycles look like "comin to fuck your bitch" walks
Amidst the chaos of broken mesh, I see bigger triangle faces. This is evidence of simplification.

ideasguy postbattlebit... but medieval sieges100vs10010 special classes per side that get randomly picked from dead players on respawn/gamestart, they lose it if they die and it gets rerolled, no more than 10 can be alive at one timeone class is knight or some bullshit, heavy armor and better weapons, can 1v3 the normal troops most timesbasic troops would be a pick from swords/spear/rangesiege rams and ladders ect but no catapults because they would get abused and are lame
>>496244303i barely know how to make battlebits
>>496242269vanilla greys are still so incredibly unnervingso much so that they had to have been sourced from real life
>>496244303i ain't gonna read any of that
>>496244303Nobody would play it because the fun of Battlefield is in ranged combat, being able to slot shitters from across the map and abuse map and weapon knowledge. Plus the appeal is the epic guns soldiers shit go boomboom.You're basically retreading Chivalry's ground which isn't nearly as fun when its asymmetrical; everyone is just running in wacking guys in melee but some guys get to be arbitrarily stronger? Its more fun in SW Battlefront because the game is third person and less map- and weapon-abuse dependent.
>>496244828What would you suggest
>>496244585I feel the same way.
BattleBit, but fantasy knights and wizards. You can enjoy your million dollars, no need to thank me.
Dark Elves will be in my game.https://youtu.be/p1LUmy_tWrk?si=g-oK2M8nq9uH9CVL
>>496243424Yeah just for a bit but unity shalt hold my should forever.
>>496244972You could make high-fantasy Battlefront but without it being a franchise tie-in to sell the 'Hero' units there's not likely to be much appeal.
>>496245028how do i make shitty textures like this
/agdg/ GMOD-like with /agdg/ references highly physics based.we'd be cool dudes who made a GMOD-like.
>>496245139nigger battlebit not battlefront
too many rolllllllzzzzzzzz
>>496245264post game or shut the fuck up nodev ideaguy faggot
>>496245465with those hand streamers they have you're one more neon color away from being mardi gras.
>>496242212They're not really trying to beat the tranny allegations are they?
>>496241463Made a courier to send part of the loot to your stash.Webm is hardly fucked, so here is only the link for a 16MB webm:https://webmshare.com/zmM1w
>>496245729New icons make this game look way more high quality.
>>496242495Deltarune needs a team to make?
>>496245435You're illiterate
>>496246284(You)
>>496246276companies are bloat.meetings, committees, compromises.
>>496246276there's 10+ people in the team. toby fox even had to hire a producer to manage things
>>496246276You think a game that good just makes itself?
its literally impossible to line up pixels with vertices
>still no deltarune-likes
>>496246814Look up what the MOTHER series by Nintendo is
You're in charge of a NES-like for CHN44, a collection of games like picrel.What do you do?A copy of an old genre with a new twist?Or adapting a new mechanic to the old style like the splatoon racing game, the ragebait platformer with weird controls, or the idle zelda-like?I would make an 8-bit Katamari-like.
>>496241598yes alsohalo battlebitplanetside battlebitstar wars battlefront battlebitmechs battlebit
>>496246598Obviously moron, that's why a fragment shader is also called a pixel shader.
Stop the collab/UFO-50 meme, it's not happening
>>496246971This, but unironically.
VR MMO that is actually fun to play and not shit? how much money would that need?
>>496242907nice
>>496244982spooky
>>496246923idk
>>496243668thanks man, its slowly coming together. ygmi bud
Not looking forward to this abhorrent era of UFO 50 clones, because the idea is like catnip to incompetent indie devs who can only barely implement prototypes
What if a Necromancer wasnt just some cowardsly loser who hides behind his army of zombies?What if instead of being this mage that summons swarms of zombies to do her fighting for her shes a warrior who charges into battle equipped with her reanimated aborted fetus she uses as a self-regenerating Morningstar(the string is its umbelical cord.)
>>496242907Looks great, the dust kickup is an especially nice effect. Now you just need really aggressive roadburn effects but iirc you said that's going to be part of your procedural deformation system.
>>496247270>he doesn't know it already exists on steam
>>496247448I don't think there will be many clones. The lazy faggots that would want to make one would get filtered by how much work it takes.
>>496247448agreed. I am unswayed by it, I will continue making 3D Dwarf Fortress and 3D Space Station 13.
UFO 50 took eight years to make yet anons think they can shit out a clone of it in record time
>>496242907Concept: Picture-in-Picture rearview projection on the back window of the car, as if the rear window is reflecting the track behind you.Probably completely infeasible in-engine but it would be cool as SHIT.
>>496247551>not shit>MMO>VRno way
>>496247551it really doesnt and if it does then tell me the name because i wanna try it
>>496242212...rather godot sisters!
>>496247270VR needs to be cerebral implant to be engaging.It's just not at the point.Holding two sticks? Big face mask? What is this, horse and buggy?
>>49624697140K BATTLEBIT!!!!!VERIFICATION NOT REQUIRED BROTHER
Damn UFO really triggers you faggots. I should have just asked for 8-bit game ideas.
>>496248020You wouldn't get it. VR is the shit. There's just a lack of competent devs.
there is a unique race in my game which I can't post. it is too unique. saw it in a dream as a kid.
>the capsule art vs the actual game
>>496248045>Damn UFO really triggers you faggots. I should have just asked for 8-bit game ideas.
i cant make a game, because i dont have the vision, the passion, the imagination, the skills, the morale
>>496241707>collab leadi'm doing the base code for it>doc, repo, discordno plans to use discord. doc and repo soon. you can work on your game right away and add it afterwards. play/watch UFO 50 and Retro Game Challenge (nds).>color palette: aap64 (https://lospec.com/palette-list/aap-64)>resolution: 320x180>engine: godot 4.3>controls: directionals (arrows/wasd) + action buttons (ABXY, preferable to use only 2 actions)
>>496247853Are you free next weekend? I want to know in advance if you can compose music for a jam I joined.

>>496247969>download pic>see sus bulge>delete
>>496248020No, people just aren't designing games around the input system because that requires actual creativity and imagination. FPS is the easiest genre to port but outside of that the game that takes the most advantage of VR controls is fucking Beat Saber.
Done with the SMG, will be the second weapon. Wasn't happy with the pistol as it's less intuitive than the revolver, but doesn't make sense for it coming after as it's weaker. Might repurpose it in some way.
In the game there are fights from time to time "in the real world", outside the dungeons.
>to join you have to post progressits over
>>496244982I should go back to check out the new version of VotV but too busy devving
>>496248714I ain't doing shit until I can interact with the project using git
>>496249021I've always thought the best way to do both a pistol and SMG is to treat the SMG as a competitor to the pistol - same ammo pool, similar damage, but one is fast spray and pray DPS and the other is an accurate reliable tool for headshotting trashmobs. If you're willing to risk using something like a melee weapon as your trash clearer then you can afford to magdump heartier enemies with the SMG (and save ammo for even more powerful weapons to be used against even harder enemies) so there's a big risk/reward implication based on playstyle.
>>496247969un-edit that bulge right now !
i just realized even just finishing and publishing one game in my lifetime is an achievement i'll probably never reach.
>>496249564Not him, but I think similarly too.
>>496248963nvm i remembered i cant do pixel art.,...
PROGRESS
>>496249640
>>496249332to join what
>>496249332kek yeah no one is gonna join if you have to post progress
>>496249437>new version of VotVMy disappointment with his enemy designs is immeasurable at this point.
>>496246570>a game that good>Deltarune
>>496249909Confirmed for having never played Deltarune.
>>496249564>>496249661They do use the same ammo (that's why both of their grips are green), so that was a consideration as well.Might do a revolver (intuitive to use and good damage) - pistol (less damage and needs more attention, diffiulty goes up) - SMG (big DPS if you're willing to spray the ammo) route.
>>496247731>3D Dwarf FortressYou mean another Mineclone.

cheers to 1 armed bandit dev for releasing

GAME
i just don't know what i want to make, what my game should be, or what i can make
>>496251473make pong
>>496251473most devs just start out making clones of old games they like
>>496251473dont feel too guilty. its just an oversaturated market, making games costs dumb amounts of money, it's just really bad.you should really only make games if you enjoy it and have your own idea what you want to make. if not just do something else, just stop thinking about gamedev. if you have no idea you cant force it anyways. overthinking it will only make it worse, trust me.actually just quitting gamedev and starting to play more games can bring back inspiration.
>>496251473Then leave
i only play team fortess 2 what game should i make
>>496251746team fortress 3
>>496250648sure, but would it be feasible for a big pubisher?>>496251249ok, what does that have to do with my question?>>496251264>Nevermind that the model doesn't even have the concept of text so it can't even re-gen higher res subtitles.they're getting there, just look at Flux>Why haven't they developed a series of modular and domain-specific models.....that'd be a cool idea
>>496251873trademark issues
the feel when you get a completely different idea in your mind .......... when you have been spending months on a particular idea.what in the world. It's like I need an R&D branch to just go and pursue certain threads of thought then report back with findings.
>>496251675yeah that's what i suspect

Rework the code for contracts.
>>496206213Something EXTREMELY simple, preferably 2d with as little moving parts as possible. Ideally you will have 1 thing that you will do yourself that you can inject a lot of soul into.

>>496246923>>496252406>WTF you can only see this kind of stuff in a 4 Chan's gamethat's it, show the world what an agdg developers can do
i think i need to make a game with zero gameplay
I'm gonna make the Japanesiest video game ever.
A horror game that is jumpscares every second, a cacophony of screams and flashes of horrific imagery, endure it to find reprieve for a few moments before the horror starts again. merzbow is doing the soundtrack.
>>496253113>You either work with the game during development or go fuck yourself.Beggars can't be choosers. No sane artist is cucked enough to work for "rev share"

>>496253634None of the artists here are good enough to become an "art director", and only an art director deserves revshare. In fact, very few of the artists here are even good enough to do professional-level art grunt work, which would involve an art director providing precise designs and for the artist to imitate that style. Most hobby/indie artists are hacks who have a lack of fundamentals and a shitton of flaws that they cover by calling it their "own style".
How the hell do you access the scene tree from a script that's outside the tree? I have a debug visualizer script that adds geometry to the tree and so far every attempt to get the root of the tree from inside that script has returned null.Also is 4chan shitting the bed again?
Replacing nested if statements with return statements has made my code 200x tidier and nicer looking
>>496253442-A Janny simulator game: top down simple game maybe happening in a mall, your dog humanoid cleans the floor but watch out some lolis appear and trow garbage, you need to clean it and trow them out with your broom but the worst is when the pony appears, despite its cute look it shits all over the floor while it walks on the screen and you need to press the button several times to remove each poop, sometimes a female anthro dog walking a man in a collar appears and he does his things too (furfags) -I also want to see a Chud vs Tranny dating sim where they act thsundere -A hmofa game would be nice too (I can see it's ending with a pixelated human and anthro in a church with a giant Christian cross in the middle
>>496255232I'm the exception...

GameMaker, Godot or Unity? (Which is the most respectable engine that won't get you bullied for using it)
>>496255907Anime girls in military uniform?
>>496257532I really want to make a third person survival horror like silent hill, but there is a very very limited audience for this kind of game if you're not a big name in the industry. The market is already overflowing with horror slop trying to become the next streamer bait.
>>496242212...it's Godover. The Unity and Unreal chuds are laughing at us again.
