>>498249620Reminder that rust is a glowie honeypot.
>>498249620come home white man
shut up
i give up.
>>498249716>has an unironic policy on trollingThis cant be real... so if i tried to print "i hate trannys" in rust it would just tell me no?
>>498249989are you fucking retarded
>>498249716>using imperative languages>everAbsolutely lmaoing at you brainlets
why would i code and model when i can use blueprints and assets?
>>498250016Ok so explain how a programming language has a "policy on trolling".
>retards arguing over programming languagesnone of you are ever going to finish your engine, let alone make a good game with it
gdscript is the best programming language!
>>498244331messed up sleep schedule + hurried feeling of needing to do devving for not doing much throughout the day
>>498250117it doesn'tthis meme was made by a <see below>>>498249989why don't you install it and give it a tryand then, when nothing like that ever happens because it's just a normal programming language, you will realize that everyone on 4chan is mentally ill and doesn't know anything about programming, all they do is repost tranny memes and larp about writing Ci know that for a fact because real C/C++ programmers range between "slightly curious about Rust" to "welcomes Rust with open arms"and nobody, NOBODY gives a shit about culture wars
>>498249716>Forgetting the original Vrgin vs Chad wasn't meant to be a "thing I hate/like" templateYou already failed.
>>498250131Arguing about programming languages is for second year computer science students, who are by the way the greatest programmers
>>498250303this only seems like a language argument, it's actually an engine argument, a godot (c++) vs bevy (crust) argument
>>498250359godotunrealenginedevetc..vsone tranny
>>498250303Language does actually matter again once you get really really seriousBut mostly not for gamedev
>>498250423I AM NOT A TRANNY!!!
Give it to me straight guys, did I soul and soulless? I thought I improved it, but someone on /v/ told me that left looks better.
>>498250198>you will realize that everyone on 4chan is mentally ill and doesn't know anything about programming, all they do is repost tranny memes and larp about writing CUndermining credibility rather than engaging with substance of your claims, ok tranny
>>498250131Left looks like something from a cutscene on an arcade machineRight looks like an Octosoup character
>>498250198>NOBODY CARES ABOUT "CULTURE WARS">JUST USE THE TRANNY SOFTWARE GOY!!! STOP USING FASTER BETTER OPTIONS! RUST IS A NORMAL LANGUAGE! ITS NORMAL TO WORSHIP TRANNYS! TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN GOY!>EVERY LINE OF CODE YOU WRITE IN C IS ANTISEMITISM YOU BIGOTED GOYIM! YOU NEED TO USE RUST AND DIE FOR ISRAEL! RUSSIA BAD! I HAVE LITERALLY NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THE WAR IN MYANMAR!Did i miss anything?
>>498250510I'd fuck either or both at the same time.
>>498250597aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa >>498250510
>>498250510/v/ is stupid.The right one is better but the black lines are too thick and the edges are pixelated and jagged. You should increase the resolution if you're not gonna have smooth gradiants.
>>498250579see: >>498250643
>>498250510/v/ are some of the lowest iq faggots on 4chan. you improved it in nearly every waythe hips/butt look off though, for either. way too wide/i cant tell what its supposed to look like without the lab coat. it is bordering on grotesque, and i love monstergirls/lamia
>>498250597thanks for the free (You) retard
>>498250789I like c/c++ more and rust is more trannyish
>>498250841If Rust was created by the CIA then why did they get the tranny community to push it?
>>498251037You just answered your own question
>>498250597Damn this guy is pretty good, I'll use him as reference, thanks.>>498250793Yeeep I completely shit the bed when it comes to drawing stuff covered by clothes, guess I can't skip the first step of drawing a naked version and only then drawing clothes on top.
>>498251101You're not making sense. The fact that it's spammed by troons is the single biggest factor holding back wider adoption of Rust
rent free
Is it possible to find hobbyist VAs to voice for my game? I don't have any money, the most I can do is give them a steme key.
>>498251108Now show us the actual female custodes
>>498250510Right looks better. Seconding what the other anon said about the thick lines, but I'd have to see it in context of the rest of the game to be sure.
>>498251453Ok still not gonna use rust. Thanks for playing.
>>498251453retard tranny
is the tranny in the room with us right now?
think about some concept ideas for a hacking themed mmo
>>498251728there's wayyy too many words on this image for me to read even a single bit of it
>>498251528you should never plan around free work or collaboration. not until you have a proper portfolio
>>498251728havent spent much time on /agdg/; are you being ironic when you say mmo?
>>498251883I have my shit ready but it's all placeholdered. I just need proper voiceover.
>>498251552>>498250750Unfortunately I can't increase resolution since it's already set and the game is pixel perfect. The thing about thick outlines, is that I tried "cleaning up the lineart" and I feel like it ends up looking worse, probably because I'm a shit artist and the thickness manages to hide my shitty lines and shaky strokes. Pic related, left is the "rough version" I make initially, right is the "cleaned up version".So I've been thinking of using the roughness as a clutch to hide my lack of art skills.
will (you) hoard megascans? how are you going about it?
>>498251962is a hundred players qualified as mmo?the game is supposedly kinda turn-based on server side... so I think it doable?
next demoday is in 19 days....?i don't even have an idea yet...
>So nuch hair is falling out out that the top of my hair is starting to become see throughEven if i make it now and my game becomes as big as Stardew i wont be able to get any fangirls because who would fangirl for someone bald lets be real.Its over.
>>498251962>>498252267Making the core systems for an MMORPG isn't any more difficult than another kind of RPG. MMOs are just expected to have an insane about of content, because whey would anyone play your MMO when they could be playing WoW, OSRS, or FFXIV? The biggest appeal of MMOs is spending putting a lot of time an effort into establishing yourself in a persistent world, and that world needs a nearly unlimited amount of content to consume to get people to spend that time.
>>498252469just wear a hat, bro
>>498249716Side note, C++ is slightly faster than C in most circumstances.
>>498252159I like both. I think if the entire game is in the thick style then it does have an aesthetic appeal.Do you have any environments done to show what the character looks like against a background?
>>498252486kek maybe i used that word wrong
>>498252160I aint doing shit. I have ultimate blind faith in Timmy
>>498252515Side note, No.Anything that merits being extremely fast will no doubt make use of compiler/architecture specifics like intrinsics and SIMD, which isn't exclusive to C nor C++ even though it usually being a C header
>>498250131The engine part is easy tbqhfm, all it really is is a while(1). The good part is subjective so thats hard to say.
>>498252710i yield your while, what are u gonna do about it?
did agdg see how gamefreak was cooking? even had c kino
>>498252486I think in truth it’s a bit different. An MMO needs first and foremost a reason for people to play together, a reason to form groups. Playing through The Witcher, but there are other dudes running around also playing through it - is pointless.Nowadays the design is mostly to have dungeons with such and such insane scaling in endgame, and rush people into endgame, yadda yadda, and you accumulate gear and mounts to show off and that is your "interaction."But playing WoW classic hardcore, you notice what an ambitious approach they originally had; so many quests encourage you to make 2-3 people groups on the spot, because otherwise they are slightly too dangerous.
I give up.
Two people downloaded my game yesterday, but it had a malloc(): invalid size (unsorted) in it. Who am I kidding, even if people download my game they don’t play it. So it does not matter.
>>498253137>someone downloads you game>leaves no comments or anythingit's all so tiresome
>>498253026There are a lot (possibly even >50%) of people who play MMOs mostly solo and only group up when absolutely necessary.
>>498253137>using mallocfound the problem
>>498252590The environments are just pixel art, the portraits are there for the characters talking before levels.Pic related is the last thing I posted here before, can't launch the game now because I'm in the middle of implementing something and shit won't compile.
>>498253281Your git repo?
>>498253181Yeah, and that is why designers don’t bother with the original idea anymore. I myself was looking the other day for a simple "WoW but offline" game. (Ended up playing Borderlands.)But having smaller audience doesn’t mean your game is worse. Obviously companies like to sell subscription and always-online bullshit.Anyways, in terms of amateur development I think it’s interesting to think about designs that try going back to the roots of just creating adventurous experience with other players.
>>498253281I couldn't say then. Personally I think >>498252159 B looks fine though, so there's no need to use roughness as a clutch.
>>498253225You’re game also uses malloc when it runs on Linux.
how do i make my game "fun"
>>498254010I don't even know how to make a game, let alone how to make one fun.
>>498253525wrong. my game uses brk
>>498254069you should learn how to make a game fun before you make a game
I haven't coded anything in GDscript in a long time but I'm wondering what's changed from Godot 3 to Godot 4. Is it all just interface changes or did GDS change too?
>>498254316No. I will stay true to the AGDG ideals and Just Like Make Game.
>>498253026I think Lineage 2 did this very well. (Though it was a korean grinding hell, playing on private servers that were 5x or 10x greatly improved the experience.) The game had a lot of content that could only be experienced with other players. Every "city" in the game had a castle, and you could conquer that castle with your clan and you could put taxes on the NPC store prices in that city. Of course having the castle also meant having a really cool base for your clan, and a shared warehouse to store materials and items, and above all else, bragging rights.Not all cities were made equal either, there are "starting cities" for lower levels, which still had castles but they were more modest looking. A clan could only have one castle, so the greater the power of the clan, the bigger the city they aimed for. Meaning that even weaker clans still had to fight each other over weaker castles, instead of high level ones dominating everything.Also a couple of castles let you have an unique flying mount that could only be used by the clan leader. When I say unique I mean this was the only flying mount in existence and only some 10 people on the server could have it at any given time.Let's put clans aside, there was also an "Olympiad". The game had 32 player classes and every month the olympiad would decide which player is the best at PvP in his class. You'd have to fight other players in 1 vs 1 duels and the one with most points got a "Hero" status with a special glow, some unique skills, unique items and access to a 10 minute cooldown global chat. Anyway what I wanted to get at, is that the game really sold you on the "fantasy" of either working together with other players or competing with them. As you were leveling up you'd see the heroes walking around, or clan wars/castle sieges happening, it made you want to participate in those and gave you a reason to level up and team up with other players. One day I hope I can make a spiritual successor to it.
>>498250510much better
>>498250510I think her face is worse because she has even less jaw but the rest is better.
>>498254487ackshually it's just like make a good game
>>498254432https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/migrating/upgrading_to_godot_4.htmlA lot changed. Mostly class names, decorators like export are now @export, and yield is deprecated in favor of await.
>>498253281The lighting is better in the bottom one. The candle looks way better than the torch too.
>>498254643Listen carefully. He says "Just Like Make Game" not "Just Like Make Good Game"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyfKdI6zi9M
>>498254112based
>>498254432yes
i keep chipping away making progress but i have to often think about the finish line and the worst part of game dev which is the release, shilling your game and the likely coming flop ;_;it's hard to keep motivated when i know i'm basically very likely wasting time
>>498255026u could just allocate the memory statically in the executable and ONLY use that memory tooyour executable would balloon to 100MB+ though
>>498255102If you are proud of either the game you made then it won't be a waste of time even if it flops. There is value in creating something.
Why can't a Resource have a Node variable.
>>498253281I dunno, I'm torn. I liked the rugged light from earlier flame better. The couch and the tile floor are better though.
>>498255370Resources are pure data that can be serialized and saved. Nodes in the scene tree cannot be saved like that. PackedScenes (scene files) are Resources though, and those can be variables in a Resource.
i am having hard time aligning models between blender and unity, like say i have two human models in blender and i make animations where they interact and then export separately each one of them into unity, how the fuck do i align them to be in exact same positions relative to each other as they were in blender?
Anyone else at godotcon in Berlin?
>>498255102See >>498255343You'd like to make a living making games? Of course. That's the dream. But if you aren't enjoying it for its own sake then you might as well just be working another part time job.
How does he make a map without an editor?
>>498255343Fucked up by only half completing my thought. Meant to say either the game you made, or the effort you underwent to make it.Even if the end product isn't perfect, the skills you developed or improved to make it also have value.
>>498240926the error literally tells you they don't work togetheryou are brown
>>498255787with a very, very big for loop...
>>498240992It just is what it is. I tried pretty much everything, having a dedicated work computer and dedicated leisure PC helped a bit. Plus I exercise.>>498241319Not even close, just living with my mom. I do chores and cook at least.

>>498256232Will we finally be able to run every game possible through these so they can make games?
>>498252486>unlimited amount of contentmeanwhile in reality people pay to skip to max level in WoW and farm the same 3 dungeons all day
>>498256398The max level skip is mostly for players with IRL friends who talked them into raiding. They'll inevitably quit after a few weeks. Very few long-term players will buy those. The leveling process is most of the fun for many people.
>>498256279Make games?
>>498256398The fun is the loot waiting.
>>498250510I love the thic lines, I would suggest using them more as shadow under that coat.
Does anyone else understand the horror of slowly coming to this realization?>The larger you draw her breasts, the more of her midriff is lost.I couldn't understand why her torso visibility kept shrinking for the longest time. I tried to make her waist/stomach longer, but then her legs are now too short. And if you make the legs longer in reaction to that, her breasts become small again. What is the ideal balance?
>>498252159>UnfortunatelyDude the thick lines are good but you can't just place them randomly, I would make the lines thin on the inside and on parts that face the light. In parts that are shadowed make the lines thicker.
>>498250510I like right a lot more, it has a lot more personality than left, which looks more generic.
>>498257125Preddy good idea actually, I kept thinking the inside part of the coat looks bad but I didn't know what to do about it, that might actually work.
What if a game whereGirls are pearlsAndBoys are oranges
>>498257265Do it the One Piece way and make the tiddies massive balloons that don't sag so they don't cover the midriff
it's a game where you take your meds
>>498253281>>498252159I don't know about roughness being a 'crutch.' On the opposite extreme end you would have perfect, evenly smoothed out lines that look too corpo/soulless. Especially if everyone else is also going for professional graphic-designer-tier lines to impress other artists, and then you end up lumped in with everyone else's generic anime look. Your rougher versions do have a lot of character, that scribbly torch lighting looks nice despite not looking as realistic as the newer version. I don't think I've ever seen that kind of lighting style done before.
>>498257265No but I understood the horror of drawing a sexy muscular woman and then realizing that putting clothes on her will cover them up and she'll just look normal.
>>498258195muscular women are not sexyyou're gay
>>498258072I told my doctor about my tulpa and he prescribed me meds but i threw out the prescription into the trash.Can he see if i bought the meds or not?
>>498258218Counterargument:
>>498258195Can't you give her a sleeveless shirt or even a sports bra? Or have her wear something form fitting like yoga/gym pants
TULPA DEEZ NUTS
>>498258195Maybe have her clothes shred off as she flexes when she enters combat. It could be like a magical girl transformation but it's a muscle girl transformation.
You can now lock doors if you have the right key and levitate, it also acts as a slowfall. Levitation is going to cause problems when designing levels but I'll deal with that when the time comes
>>498252159Don't fear the thic =D
>>498257395What is this? Looks cool
I have no experience making games but i want to make a massively multiplayer open world roguelike metroidvania survival crafting rpg game with farming sim and rhythm game elements. I needs amazing graphics and music and on every platform available. just need someone to code it and make assets and market it and make music. can't pay now, but will when it starts making tons of money.
i dont know who to ask and im about to cry (ive only cried once before past the age of 12)should i drop out of compsci in order to work on my game? it's taking time away form what I really want to do and no im not a fucking zoomer i have to do something quickshould I>drop out of compsci because mathlet and get all my time back>switch to easier degree without math like business administration instead and get half my time back and have piece of paperi already have years of work exp but they wont fucking hire me because i dont even have a 2 year degree

>>498259225The final iteration of Mongol, an Rpg.
>>498259461cool I gave it a wishlist
>>498259456Game dev is a hobby, you should not be sacrificing other portions of your life for it.
>>498258243yes, he's in your walls
>>498255631Me, the "silent room" smells like shit don't go there.
>>498259456>should i drop out of compsci in order to work on my game?>mathletno.
>>498259745You should drop out in order to become a plumber.
>>498259639Damn, thanks fren. You're probably one of the nicest people around. I legit get shit on all the time. Hearing something good is refreshing.
>>498259745lets be real gamedev does not require fucking calculus but thank you i will keep going i just want to work on my game bruh
>>498259214Well fuck me, guess I have some studying to do, thanks.>>498259703>>498255631If you're there, post some pics guys.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1717090/Into_the_Necrovale/how long was necrovaledev working on his game for? i remember he used to post prog here and now im seeing his game being featured on some indie game channels (even best indie games!)
>>498259214She looks like she'd come home from work incredibly angry, drunk, and smelling of cigarettes. She'd demand sex to relieve stress, but only be satisfied once she's turned it into rape that isn't in your favour.
>>498259687but there are professional gamedevs and careers within the industry
>>498259745To be fair, the math used in game dev is so different. It's no real comparison. If shaders don't filter you, you're already more of a game dev than anything.
>>498259834This looks like something I would have stumbled upon accidentally over a decade ago, but when recalling it would struggle to remember if it was real or a fever dream, and I mean that only positively.>>498260219Career game deving is poorly paid in relation to any other equivalent skilled coding role, and realistically if you're posting here you're interested in making your own game, not being the tiniest of abused cogs in someone else's.
i can literally just take formulas from the internet that gives me all the lerping i need i cant do that during an exam
>>498260447>Career game deving is poorly paid in relation to any other equivalent skilled coding role, and realistically if you're posting here you're interested in making your own game, not being the tiniest of abused cogs in someone else's.i just want to be part of the process in order to learn at work and apply to my game. if i get hired i dont plan to work long term anyways. for instance imagine being able to work on a nintendo game you would be able to learn a ton about visual feedback
why is it easier to come up with a solution for other peoples problems than your own...
>>498260847because you don't have to implement them and realise it doesn't work
>>498260847for life advice its easier because most of the hard work is involved in taking the steps to get there
>>498260654I worked in the industry for some AAA company. I hated the mandatory diversity training bullshit meetings we had occasionally (yes it was a legit thing, basically some fag telling us about how we shouldn't rape women and be racist to indians at work or whatever, that was before Covid though, around 2019) but the skills I gained and connections I made were 100% worth it. It was also just generally fun to play games over beer and pizza Friday evening with a bunch of other nerds. I'd always take that kind of lifestyle over being some banking programmer in a professional environment. There are some things that money can't buy. (Of course I quit and went indie because I still would rather make my own studio, the colleagues were nice but answering to a boss who has to answer to a man in a suit who has never played a game in his life and just wants to see numbers go up becomes grating.)tl;dr if you can get a foothold in a company absolutely go for it for a couple of years is my advice.
You know, seeing the scrapped pokemon designs really makes you realize they aren't that good. I almost feel inclined to work on a monclone now.
How the fuck did he do it?

>>498261317What’s with the sudden rise in 2024? I thought the game peaked during COVID?
why didn't (you) make ufo 50?
>>498261816i dont have the skills, or the passion.
>>498261816I didnt feel like it.
>>4982618092024 is when "cozygames" peaked with normalfaggots on tiktok

we've moved from deckbuilding to dicebuilding trend
>>498261809It became a trend on tiktok.Give it a month or less for the zoomers to jump to the next thing and it will return to old numbers.
>>498261924>cozy-likes are actually a thing that's newi thought anon was fucking aroundi fucked upmissed the train

How do i make a game that will blow up on tiktok.
>>498261924quick, when is the time for point'n click adventure games resurgence?!
Those games have a very steady playerbase, if your game is even halfway decent a couple of them will play it. But how many pointyclick devs actually made it big?
>>498203496wow this game is filtering me hard
if your game is easy to make why the fuck would i want to play it when i can just make it myself?
>>498261317>your game will never get so big till the point where trillion-dollar media conglomerates like Disney start ripping you off and jumping on the trend you startedIt’s over
I am trying to develop a modular environment for my tank game but this is the hardest thing in gamedevI don't know what enviroment this should be - more industrial with concrete, asphalt, metal?or maybe a natural grass, dirt and rocks as obstaclesI don't know what colors to useI make some ground textures in substance designer but they all seem so grim and dark and too repetitivebut I need a modular system and also more square-ish enviroment with straight walls and cornersI don't know how to design this allThe only game that sorta does what I want is Synthetik, but they have much more detailed and diverse assets so it's hard to comparedo you guys know any games that have this top-down 3D perspective and the environments are more like arenas?
>>498262732fuck forgot screen

>can’t make a cozygame because am artlet It was over before it even began. No one will play an ugly game and think it’s cozy.
Should you put Cris into your end credits as "Special Thanks"?
Daily reminder to shout nigger out your opened house window if you want your game to be as successful as Eric's.
>can't make a videogame because am codeletIs it over?I guess i could make a board game or something.Am i still a game developer if i do that though?
>>498263040Of course.
My engine is ready. Now, it's time to code the game.
>>498263135ive been doing this every day for the past 8 years and im still an unsuccessful chud
Its time.Post your game NOW.
I love that /agdg/ is literally the only place online that shits on Eric Barone.Anywhere else it's forbidden to criticize him in the slightest because of the SDV cultists.
>>4982633208 more years

if your an artlet come up with a better game idea you have no excuse

>>498263505It's mostly just jealousy. He's the lucky dev who made it out of agdg a multimillionaire indie superstar while everyone else here is slogging their shitgames along
>>498263815>podunkianWhat does he say?
>>498262732Use AI to get concepts, fuck the naysayers, it's a fucking tool
>>498263505because he's a faggot who likes to give false hopes to everyone here>"never give up"yeah fuck off I should've given up 5 years ago. fuck you eric. not everyone can be as lucky as you.
Alright, I'm awake. Time to waste the last day of my weekend posting on 4chan.
>>498264207This, the reason I dislike him is the hypocrisy with the fake-niceness for reddit brownie points, so heckin wholesome mr nigger shouter.
>>498259456>should I become a broke, unemployed loser or have a stable programming job with gamedev as hobby?
>>498263961bro notch is a BILLIONAIRE and he's liked here. ofc making minecraft is way more impressive than stardew
>>498263359I'm adding new NPCs.
>>498264126I used AI to mashup a title screen for my game and it's kino. Will get a real artist redo it and tidy it up and fix some perspective problems when I make my steam page

>>498263163Internet is full of all kinds of basic exercises you could do if you weren't black
>>498264364NTA but are you a neet? I don't see how else anyone could idolize having a job like this unless they were a neet.
>>498264489Because notch didn't sellout. He made his billions, and is still acting like a polchud on twitter. We can at least respect that.Eric on the other hand likes to LARP like he's a 'le heckin wholesome xD' plebbitor while behind closed doors he acts like your stereotypical 4chudcel, because he IS a 4chudcel. Even Scott Cawthorn didn't LARP like Eric did and stood by his beliefs. Spineless fuck.
>>498261924>2024 is when "cozygames" peakedlol what? you're half a decade too late. There are still people making cozy game, but the true peak was in 2019-2020. Back then studios were practically repackaging literal children's games for adults.

>>498265279I assume you aren't trying to code your own engine from scratch, so a good start could be the godot tutorials "Your first 2/3d game" if that sounds like your engine.Another fast way to check out many languages is codewars.com, they have thousands of user submitted exercises and courses, and dozens of languages to select.Or https://www.learn-c.org/ to get familiar with the basics, which should translate to other languages.You could clone the git repo of some opensource game like Cataclysm.OR you could read the OP. (It might help if you were more specific about what exactly it is that you want to do.)
>>498266185yea that's it, thanks
>You literally have to become an architect to make buildings/levelsI hate this hobby so much.
>>498266216Im trying to invent a new type of experience.I cant explain it its something that exists only inside my head so i cannot show you and cannot be put into words so i cannot tell you.
>>498266509You should make a game based on your strengths, why are you making a level heavy game if you suck at level design and don't enjoy it? Where do you people come from
>>498266509This isn't true at all. Video game levels are just hollowed out boxes that don't have to consider structure or circulation or anything that goes into making a real building that will actually exist IRL. You can make up and fake so much shit in level design.
>>498266043I would suggest that 'sellout' is not a verb.Notch didn't sell out, therefore he's not a sellout.
In my quest for originality, I thought emptiness...
>>498257669The billboard enemies and items bother me more and more as everything else looks nicer. At this point, to match the levels, you'd need enemies with more polys than Half Life did, not 90s Doom/Wolfenstein sprites.

>>498259106Fucking sick. This'll be interesting to try.
In a first from the /v/3 staff, we will be hosting a second game jam and livestream presentation for 2024! The /v/erdict will be a mini presentation featuring new games and updates from developers of both /v/ and /AGDG/, we encourage everyone to participate as always!The /v/erdict is gonna feature a more laid back style where we rapid fire game trailers and interview hand picked game developers, aiming for a 2004 G4 vibe. Shitpost and fangame submissions will be not accepted this time around, we have the main show for that. The only real challenge we task submitters with (besides having a cool looking game of course!) is to submit their trailers in a 4:3 aspect ratio resolution, as the final stream will recorded on an authentic VHS recorder and broadcasted in a square box! The airdate for the livestream will be November 30th at 6pm EST | 9pm PST | 5PM CT on YouTube and other platforms TBAhttps://itch.io/jam/the-verdict-1-fall-2024-

we are so back
>>498264720Grow up. Welcome to the real world. We all can't have sugar mommas, like Eric.
>>498267182There's more than one of us believe it or not. in fact I'm not even running this side show we're doing I'm just helping design characters and advertising this time around well I do all the prep for the 2025 show
>>498264951>i can release a game in under 2 yearsBut will it be profitable?

i did not made any progress past 36 hours lmao
If my game sells a lot and i earn a lot of money will the Hawk Tuah girls finally reply to my messages.
>>498267328I'm asking because I have a job. I can't imagine anyone with a job genuinely believing their current circumstances are better than being a neet. Having a job does absolutely nothing for me but provide me with money with which I can subsist on by buying groceries and paying rent. Being a neet and getting neetbucks would give me the exact same thing, only I wouldn't be burning 9 hours every day sitting in an office wishing I was dead. A job is massive obstacle to ever finishing a game. The amount of free time you realistically have to work on your game in a week is the same amount of free time a neet would have in less than 2 days.
>>498267447It will make a decent amount of money because i have the juice i know what games i like and i know what people with my tastes like>>498267521it'll take me 3 years minimum im just hoping to get some work in between related to pressing keys on a keyboard
>>498267531It's a hobby space game he's making but it sucks so he doesn't want to call it a game

>>498268430The consequences of technology have been a disaster for our species and planet.
>>498268726Holy hell this is retarded. I'll admit I just flipped through to various points in the video, but she's literally just repeating the most basic first semester architectural theory points right down to putting Zumthor on a pedestal like every other freshman does. She gives off the vibe of the average woman who goes to architecture school because she likes the "aesthetic" of studying architecture and doesn't actually give a shit about the practice.I also have an M.Arch, maybe I could get a bullshit job giving these retarded presentations to game designers. I'm not an attractive young woman though so I can't help but feel like my opportunities won't be as broad as hers.
Im so sick of hand painting all my textures... maybe I should just... subscribe to substance painter...
>>498270287>quixel mixer
>>498270405Never heard of that before.
If I've only ever made 2d games, should I bother learning 3d? Are 3d workflows faster than 2d ones?
>>498267090>>498267340fuck off
How do I make a game that kids would enjoy?
>>498266698i make a game (shitty prototypes) based on the easiest assets and blueprints i can get for free on the marketplace
>>498270749Yes. Absolutely yes.
>>498270287I just photobash a bunch of stock textures for the body and use thispersondoesntexist for the face and put them through a bunch of filters to stylize them and slightly touch them up.
I started playing Gothic 2 for the first time. I finally get it now.
>he vanished again
>>498253281Why are you so obsessed with one scene. Who gives a fuck how this one scene looks. Is your whole game 1 scene? I've seen this 10 times stretching back months and months.
>>498271307I liked their original concept for Gothic 2 better but i understand why they went with the 2nd idea for the sake of sales.
Reminder that being a game developer is hideously unattractive to women, unless you're in a managerial position. This has been field-tested on literally dozens of first dates.

>>498271442That's just how long it takes to do anything in Godot
>>498271454probably that's all he has
>>498271535Depends how old you are. Women see it as a lottery ticket if you're young and cool. If you're balding and 39 years old, it's not that cool anymore. Like, why haven't you made it yet? Why are you talking to women instead of making it? What are you doing? You're wasting time, yet you want this woman to believe in you? Your lottery ticket isn't worth anything.
>>498271307I remember back in the old days we had a dev making a Gothic-like. Those times are gone now.
>>498271775She's not coming back, anon. Raising a child takes a lot of time and attention.
>>498270558It's on me pal. And why don't you grab a handful of those Megascan textures on your way out?
>>498250198I'm a real C/C++ developer that's been using them professionally for a decade and a half. My first reaction to stuff like Rust and Zig knowing nothing about troon involvement was "Huh someone tried to make a better C++. Dweeb shit. Also bet it's not anyway. I will never use this."
>>498272050My bad, I should have worn a condom but she begged me not to.
>>498272050Maybe when her kid grows up a bit and is ready for school she will come back once she has a lot more free time.
>>498271535>>498271738Being an unsuccessful game developer is unattractive. Keyword unsuccessful. An unsuccessful man is unattractive.

How to not overthink/over-analyze things? How do you convince yourself to stop working on something and move on to the next task?
>>498274608By breaking down how easy it is to implement this "next task" that you want to prioritize
>>498274608give yourself deadlines
>>498274608Unironically by having friends and other people you can talk to. Spending all your time alone indoors is how you become a prisoner of your own thoughts.
>>498274583Won't happen, we live in a clown world where our taxes are going to kikes larping as brown people from 4th century BC, you'll rationalize your gamedev dreams if it means not having to work a 9-5.
It appears Truth will channel through here.
>>498273290Timmy forgives you
>>498275086>you'll rationalize your gamedev dreams if it means not having to work a 9-5By the time I'm in my mid 30s AAA games will come with built in generative AI that constantly creates new characters, plot elements and dialogue options to keep campaigns going to as long as the player wants and tailoring it specifically to their desires. There will be no way for me to compete with such games and there won't be any reason for players to stop playing them either. Indie game development is only going to be relevant for a few more years before we'll have lost the technological arms race to AAA.
>>498275592I can't wait for AI for generating 3d models and their textures so much
i like developing games but i definitely hate myself for playing them and have wasted so many hours doing so
>>498275812But having played them helps you make better games.
>>498271775People have told me my game is Gothic like. But I've never played gothic. I'd like to, but I assume it's a giant piece of shit by modern standards.
>>498272436Even correcting for that. If I say I'm a programmer it's night and day. The best results I got was saying I'm a project manager, but the sample size is like 5 or 6 so...
I have found that human proportions can be drawn using the diagonals of a square.wtf.:O
>>498272436>The best results I got was saying I'm a project manager, but the sample size is like 5 or 6 so...Don't quote me and then dumb down what I say. Time matters.
>>498276046>I'd like to, but I assume it's a giant piece of shit by modern standards.Going back to play old games is like eating real bread after a lifetime on only consuming sugar filled Wonderbread. Your taste buds will be so conditioned to that super sweet tasting fake bread that at first the real stuff is going to taste like shit, but gradually as you eat more of it you'll learn to appreciate the texture and subtle earthy taste. I know, food analogy, but that's the best way I can describe the feeling of playing games that are from before the times of when game developers starting directly target the adrenal gland's dopamine release systems.
>>498276452I responded to the right person, but the quote is wrong here. It's the "muh unsuccessful" part is what I responding to.
>>498271535say you create interactive mediaproblem solved
>>498270287The steam version is a one time fee for a lifetime license.>>498270405Is not worth your time; it takes a supercomputer to run, has an obtuse workflow and is basically abandonware at this point. Substance was such an improvement that it felt like a generational leap in technology. It's not magic though, if you're not doing a realistic PBR workflow then it's not going to help you.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a consolefag at heart and the genres I want to make will not sell well on steam.Is there any place that analyzes indie sales data for consoles in a clear way like Chris Zukowski does for Steam? "TreeFall studios" makes baby's first puzzle and platformer games and seems to be selling well (claims they make 5 figures each accross switch and PS4, won't name exact numbers to not violate NDA). This is way more revenue than the average Steam indie, it's in genres that perform poorly on steam (ones I like to make), and it's consistent. Is making small scope games aimed at console audiences the way?
I fucking hate rgb lightsSpent 10 minutes trying to figure out why my new pc didn't start and it's because the start button was hidden like a secret lever in a villains hideout and the buttons that are usually in ALL other normal systems power and restart was now "Change RGB Light Mode" and "Change Color" as if that was a feature i would regularly use.

>>498282724Maybe stop playing games then?I put on hold all movies, anime and video games so I don't contaminate my game story with new ideas. I just watch videos of animals and nature for recreation. (And read 4chan)He who doesn't learn from the tragedy of yanderedev is doomed to repeat it.

>>498283283Sticking to plan and failing to execute it was Yanderedev's doom. That and getting distracted by everything.
>>498274583Being in your 30s is nice. When you're in your 20s, you're constantly struggling to meet some expectations. Parents, Society, the expectations you have for yourself. People want to be successful entrepreneurs by the time they're 25, they want to be Eric Barone or Mark Zuckerberg or something. When you're 30, your decade starts back over at zero, but you're more able to do what you want to do without psyching yourself out. I will never start a successful business by the time I'm 25 because I'll never be 25 again. You just learn to embrace the Dao and you can focus on making the best game you can instead of achieving these arbitrary time-based goals. You can really get on with your life once you're in your 30s

>>498289230Estimated 150k in sales for the Potions game... Not bad. I wonder if she'll give up on the risky cosplay now that she's established.
I'm making a morrowclone and I'm figuring out how I want to make stats / perks work. What do you think is more interesting or fun nowadays? A system like morrowind where increasing your stats just gives you things overtime just by having the stats? Such as increasing your agility by 1 will increase your swing rate by 1%, increase your lockpicking skill by 1, and increase damage with agile weapons by 1%?Or having perks where on level up instead of stat allocation you would have a perk system where a starting point would give you an agility point which only increases your damage by 1% but down one lane after a few allocations you could choose to unlock novice locks, while going another path would make it so you dodge 10% better?

>>498289904>not making assets yourself
Alright so the obvious solution was if the weapon is a lower tier than the armor then the armor is doubly as effective and that seems to work on paper but in practice the armor guy wins 66% of the time instead of 50% but if that armor guy traded his heavy armor for a heavy weapon then the dex guy wins 75% of the time (they would win at the same time it's just that the dex guy goes first). It's mostly balanced simply you just can't be mediocre relative to your opponent you must be better.

>>498290120You can't build your career expecting all your games will be hits
>>498289675An addendum I just thought about with this. Doing the perk system would alienate making different builds. For example in the stat based version, a person making a warrior type class could still dip their points into agility to increase their swing rate. In the perk example that same warrior class might still want to go into the agility tree to get a perk that gave a 10% swing timer increase but all the agility points would be wasted unless they decided to use agility weapons, in which case all the strength points they used in that tree would be moot. Could there be a workaround for that? Is this why skyrim skipped this step and only went between the choice of stamina, health, mana?

>I believe true beginners in graphics are much more likely to get frustrated programming in Vulkan, not knowing what they are aiming for. Vulkan is less about graphics, and more about GPU drivers at its core, meaning that if your primary goal is understanding how a cascaded shadow map works, or how indirect lighting is done, or screen-space-reflections, you gain nothing by using Vulkan.>Exceptions to the above caveat are people who are convinced they want to do this professionally, in which case a holistic understanding can only help you (although I still strongly recommend learning Vulkan in parallel with running experiments using simpler APIs). Also, people that have masochistic tendencies and/or have a very strong abstraction muscle in their brain will not find too much difficulty.

Sorry to pajeetpost, but this neural network generative video game stuff is genuinely scaring me. I remember making a post probably ~2 years ago predicting this tech to come in the next decade, but not within just 2 years. Right now it can only simulate existing games after being trained on footage of that game, and you're lucky to even get double digit FPS, but the point is the concept exists and is proven to work at a fundamental level. We already have the technology to expand upon this with generative imagery and sound, it's just a matter of how long it takes for people to develop something that can generate a game in real time. Besides, real time video generation is going to come way before real time video games, and the potential consequences of that alone already seem pretty severe. Two more weeks memes aside, my fears have nothing to do with competing with AI generated content as a gamedev. Competition won't exist if and when this technology is available. I simply don't think a future in which media can be tailor made for every user and constantly generated in real time for as long as they want is a good direction for human civilization. It really feels like we're at the end. On our current trajectory it's only a matter of years before we start locking ourselves within VR gooncaves and withering away as technology grants us a means to fulfill our deepest fantasies and ignore all other responsibilities. Thanks for reading my blog.

>>498296882I'm an enginedev using Vulkan and C, and I resolved early on that I'm just going to use GLFW ( or SDL can also work ) and just focus on the game rather than windowing. If I want to do my own custom layer later , it'll be when I got most of the core game made.

>>498249620I made a small melodyhttps://files.catbox.moe/illfja.mp3
I've ran into a conundrum. In an rpg where melee needs to deal with costs to repair their items, usually the balance for casters is that spells cost lots of money. However, in my game all spells are acquired by quests so I can't balance around this. How could I balance gold sinks for casters? I think the first choice would be to have to "donate" money to the quest giver or something to get the spell, but in the way that they work it wouldn't make any sense.

There's nothing wrong with the pixellated thick lines as a style choice to stand out so I'd suggest making the outer lines thicker.>don't do double thickness between the sleeves and the body, that's weird. Not always, sometimes it's fine but it really stands out when the character's outline is so thin by comparison.>the mouth is really low down and the face structure is like an onion rather than what you'd expect of a face, not to mention her neck looks like it's bent really weirdly. I could understand these being style choices / haha snake lady, but they stick out as weird to me.I'd say that maybe the hair could have thinner outlines / less boundaries between strands of hair so it looks more like you'd expect from an anime style but I can understand it making it look more medusa-like, so I dunno.>her silhouette looks like a background NPC. Rather, it looks like someone who's plotting and scheming while staying low, because there's little that sticks out about it other than the middleaged lady hunch.
>>498301335using spells drains psyche. The longer you cast a spell, you're using a pool of your psyche for that spell. You need to return to alchemy table or get back to magic books to renew the spell by rearranging it so it drains different part of your psyche.In essence, spell is the same, but the words or incantations need to be shifted.

Mostly trying to find bugs, the general experience is good right now, which I'm happy about while adding more general details to everything. I also made the logo/title thing too. I added something for clip randomization. So ammo found will have a random amount. So some magazines might only have 4 bullets and some will have the max they can store. Before ammo amounts was always the same and it really needed that extra level of unknown. I probably should add something to emulate a bullet being jammed.
>>498302058ok where is it?
>>498301335Have the casters pay to repair their staves?
>>498301921Oh man this is a great fucking idea. Basically just a different flavor of repair. Could also give basically the same equivalent of repair hammers to be some kind of magic orbs or something. However, I would like a bit of distinction between the builds. Having to return to an alchemy table and use reagents to heal your psyche is flavorful and awesome, but being out in the middle of nowhere and you run out, you'd be SOL. Where as a warrior can always carry repair hammers. However, if you give the equivalent to a caster, then it just kind of feels the same. My next thought would be to make casting when your psyche is at 0 to damage you, but if you have heal spells you can just negate that. I wonder if there is another solution?>>498301939I really encourage exploration in my game, so rather than just buying from vendors, I like to give hints through dialogue from people in the game that lead players to certain things. Such as you're in a book store and the clerk mentions the wizard tower up in the hills. Well if you decide to go up there you can meet the wizard and do some quests become his apprentice etc and he'll teach you a few spells he knows etc. I do this with all builds and such so that it's more immersive rather than just gamifying the experience by just buying them. >>498302331I didn't play runescape, but this was actually my initial ideal - to make spells cost mana and reagents. However I figured that might get tedious even though it would essentially be the same as warriors having to carry repair hammers. Same idea from a gold sink standpoint, but from the player's perspective it just seems annoying because you need to keep track of all these reagents AND mana.

>>498306167yes actually, i mean if i were you i'd add more open world gameplay and rpg dialougue but streets of rage is cool and i like the music thoughbeit
>>498306586imagine she sends you her art and the lines are all squiggly and you ask her why it looks like shit and she gets really sheepish and says "s-sorry, my b-boobs keep hitting the mouse"
Godotfag here, I had a 2D game like 90% done but got filtered because I was unable to make some drawings. Then I tried to make a really shitty but fast 3D mobile game but the game ran like fucking dogshit on mobile, even after giving up shaders. How much better is Unity for 3D mobile? Just saw that a new major version is releasing next week and apparently they dropped the licencing bullshit from last year
>>498307881If you have to ask, maybe don't make a mobile game because you clearly don't play them.
>>498294428>Didn't watch the video and won't, but complaining about indentation or fucking blank lines is peak mount stupid behaviourThat's what everybody say until they work with me. After that, they know that real developers are not a myth and that style matters more than anything.>imperativeHa a youngling that just discovered iterators and co. In a few decades you will understand that imperative, functional, etc. are just different faces of the same thing. But for that you need some experience my youngling, you're not able to see the thing behind the faces. It will come, or not. I can teach you, but your ego looks too weak.
>>498307881unity is better than godot at everything
>>498306586I wouldn't need to make art if i was already attractive, in the alternate universe where i had big boobs i'd probably be in an e-relationship with my former crush, but i don't so i had to learn how to decenter men and have actual goals -_-
>try to use my prompt tag autismo skills to generate a very similar picture to my drawing reference>AI generates something completely diferent to what I want
>>498308040Can you answer my question properly? I made a simple mobile game where you play with just one tap, it played perfectly on PC, but after exporting it to mobile it ran like fucking assIs Unity as bad for mobile or not?>>498308186Including performance? That's really my main issue here. I have no idea on how to optimize my shit any further

>>498308583Metal.
>>498308312that's because ai is bad lol
>>498308583I think it's been converted into some weird MIDI format in order to be played in the game
>>498303008This is translated from japanese or something? It seems like it was written by a japanese person
>>498289904Wait so even AAA studios buy asset packs? I'll never finish my game making everything myself at this rate
I coded my game the wrong way, but it's just as fun as games coded the right way
What's stopping your protagonist from looking like this?
>>498309109or hire armies of turdworlders to shit out slop
>>498309120if it works it works
>>498309192His neck would be in proportion to his head.
>>498309192My game doesn't need a self insert.
>>498307881>even after giving up shadersEvery material is a shader, retard. Did you even profile? You were almost certainly running into a CPU bottleneck and so reducing GPU cost obviously does nothing.
>>498309192im not gay
>>498298920me too
>>498303771How about this? It's K-size but with M-shape.
>>498309192I can't draw.

>>498310829userspace toddlers wouldn't understand
>>498311009Yeah, that's why I'm asking how.
>>498310547by doing it 100 times.
>>498310494Nice work, feels good. >airplane modeKino.>edgeLudo.
>make game>enjoy making game>get to point where game needs playable content (i.e. levels)>no longer enjoy making gametruly the worst part of gamedev
>>498310901I know that but I don't know which vertices I should select
>>498310092I could if I wanted but I wantn't
>>498311103making content is the real game dev thougheverything else shouldn't even be game devit's more like engine dev with a star because the engine didn't provide the mechanics you needed for your game so you had to go and make them
>>498311103if you don't like making levels, maybe you don't like games with levels.
my levels suck... ;_;
>>498311103I got past this by making a card game. now modelling(in particular retopo/UV) enemies for it in the other hand... Why didn't I make a 2d card game like everyone else?
>>498311103I still don't know how to go past blockouts. Like how do I make my levels pretty?
Working on alert states. Need to figure out the right angle at which the player can be seen. Currently it's like 90 degrees and enemies act like they're fucking blind
>>498311103Just add harder enemies, make the level slowly fall apart into lava, and maybe add a timer.
>>498311595i just realized this is the game with the frog
>>498311570>>498289904slap those bad boys over it
>>498311790Why is Japanese architecture so kino?
>>498311623Yeah idk what I'm gonna do with the frog now since he doesn't fit in with the rest of the assets I made
>>498311595I expected to see a homeless guy pissing
>>498311106it's arbitrary, if you don't want ugly seams, put the seams in less ugly areas
>>498311595Keep it the way it is now, but make the alerted level stay active longer so they don't forget you exist just because they lost sight of you for a few seconds. If you stay out of sight for like 8 seconds, then they go back to Question Mark status and stay there for a few more seconds.
>>498306586I would like to know as well ;_; it'd be so wonderful bros
>>498311982I do have a homeless enemy here>>498279620
>>498311856Very loose zoning where shopping districts and small business can open right next to/over regular homes and very pedestrian/bus-focused city planning.
>>498290376Sounds like you must not the play tester jackpot. Put that 'tism nigger to work.
>>498311595>>498312032Oh, and if there's a group of enemies nearby, all of them get alerted even if they all didn't see you.
>>498311595why not just raycast from the player so enemies can collide into it, maybe put a delay so they don't snipe you first.
>>498312064kino
>>498311858have a pill or mushroom you eat give you a drug trip turning enemies into frogs
>>498296548And just like that he's regressed 10 years again. One step forward, one step back. The cycle continues.
>>498311790I don't have the money for it :(
>>498312526
>>498311595Human vision is around 180 degrees, so maybe at 145 they begin their "suspicion" phase and maybe they slow down and then turn towards you if it reaches a certain (numerical) suspicion amount? You can also add distance to the suspicion modifier where more distant targets adds less suspicion and vice versa.Also, game's lookin' gud anon.
>>498312658that's a reference for 3D modelling, not an illustration.
>>498312974a good 3d model needs good reference
>>498289904Where can I download them for free?
>>498310672I didn't actually use any skeleton stuff here. since the arm is just one region of the spritesheet there's no need for IK so I just rotate it around an origin>>498311078ty anon. memes aside edge is actually pretty decent if you're limited on hardware and can't fork over 90% of your ram to chrome.
>>498313161that's good enough.you don't need an illustration for an ortho reference.
>>498312921

>>498313385
>>498313889very nice, proud of you

>>498314024all of this has happenedall of this will happen again
>>498311282Nah making a game is like the core mechanics that makes the game fun. Content is like scenario design and story if applicable.

>>498314359di it with controller
>>498314359Controller is a good idea, sure.
hamza told me not to play games because my friends will take my future wiveshe didnt say anything about making them though
>>498314743if your friends take them, they weren't your future wives.
>>498314365>suppose i got a base mesh made out of a bunch of random shapes, what's the right kind of prep for exporting that?Select all objects, export as FBX 2013>>deleting the inside faces? is there a fast way of doing that?Don't know but recalculate normals to make sure they're all outside. If you're in unreal you can do this in engine as well or make your textures "double sided" as a shitty fix. >>merging all the pieces into one blob? keeping them seperate?If you export them all as one FBX the pieces will go individually and able to be moved in any engine I've used but maintain their offset.>>baking all the random shit into textures? merging it into a blob?I'd personally just keep the random shit depending on how random it is. If I'm making a can of food for instance I do the label and can as different objects so I can just reuse the can over and over and only have to retexture the label.

However chubby thirty something white men are currently losing their jobs to myriad Indians using AI to do their job ten times shittier for eight times less pay. The market there is growing.
>>498315231surely the 0.1%er millionaire degenerate furry artists hate AInot because it hurts them financially, but because they are no longer valued
>>498315534I just say this is my job and go 8 hours per day.My issue I've been having recently is that I just stay in my room and neglect everything else ( even working out ) if I'm stuck on a problem. I have to just go workout even if I have a problem in my mind.
how much potential revenue is lost when your game is sold on a key store? from what I understand they abuse the regional pricing on top of sales and then resell them to westoids.
>>498315596this. nobody follows this advice on purpose though. I was without (good)internet for about a month while my IP kept fucking up and it was the most productive I'd been all year. I couldn't even get captcha!
>>498315952>how much potential revenue is lost when your game is sold on a key store?They can't sell keys if you don't generate them.
>>498316024*ISP
>>498316024It's hard to stay following it, I know, especially when you suddenly want a good reference or particular doc/tutorial for something and then find yourself pissing away valuable time again on Youtube and 4chan (like I am doing now) - but as long as you turn it off as you remember, you'll be a fuckload more productive. This virtual disease is a vampire on everyone's free time. It turns poor NEETs into ghouls and non-NEETs into paid ghouls.I'll take my own medicine and turn it off right now.
>>498276224It's a lot about what women think you earn based on what you do. They're somewhat aware that programmers can make a lot of money. If you make 6 figures and open with that then they'll suddenly look at you differently.
>>498287954Inaccurate. I make the game for myself, I do not need to market to myself.
>>498279886it's disgustingidk why the fuck they do that

>>498317875ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL
>>4982805272D action games need to be roguelites now.
>>498317967i- uh- i dont get it, what makes this one a roguelite? seems like a metroidvania with roguelite slapped on top.
>>498280527>The art is good, BUT...Many such cases. Indie devs should take note and add at least an extra year to dev time so that the game has more depth and more interesting content. I don't know about you guys, but I have played so many 2d platformers and metroidvania games that I'm tired of them.
>>498280527maybe that massive black chunk of nothing on the left taking up one third of the screen
>>498280527no appeal
>Pokemon has been pandering to furries all alongNo wonder most games here can't succeed, you all fail to target sex.
>>498280527I feel like everyone on steam who is interested in indie games has already played this kind of game at least 20 times by now. Developers should be more original and unique.
>>498317967>nowThis nigga has never heard of risk of rain
>>498280527Idk, but what I do know is that I would not play it.So you'd have to ask fans of the genre.
>>498317272this is a game developerthis is what people think a game developer is now you make clones of candy crush and flappy bird and endless runner gamesthat's itso where's your game aggy daggy? you're a game developer, right? you are making games? not some delusional thing nobody will play, right? you're making a REAL game, like a REAL game developer would make?

>>498280527First off the blurb reads like it was written by an AI. What's the game about? Why would I buy this instead of one of the hundreds of other 2D metroidvanias?

>>498317875I wish I could come up with cool mecha designs like this

>>498318604Too bad they don't make games like that without all the pokemon stuff getting in the way
>>498318072look it up and watch a gameplay video
>>498318160>2d platformer>gets disgusted by an underground areatell me how i know you are not nor were ever the audience of this kinda game for at least the last 5 years
>>498318934but would you buy it and play it?
>>498280527I enjoy this genre of game, and nothing about this stands out enough to make me want to play it. No beautiful character designs, no short clips of impressive boss fights, no dialog cutscenes to demonstrate some exciting plot.I'm sure it's a fine enough game, but it's competing against my memory of the last few metroidvanias I played in order to win my time.
>>498319002no. also its a free game
>>498317875how to make shader like this
>>498318938What the fuck do you mean?
>>498319093If you wouldn't play it then you were making a game without following the Golden Rule.Treat others as yourself

Can someone make a new thread before the schizo does?
>>498320006you do it
new bread?
If it doesn't sell well then maybe your game just isn't appealing or interesting. If you're not doing anything to stand out then you don't even deserve the sales that you do get.
>>498320071Come on bruv please?
>>498319601if it were 3d i would say it can easily be fixed
>>498320006is this 'schizo' in the room with us now?
>>498320234Yes
>>498320234he's talking about me
>>498320234its you?
>>498319601>literal tranny picand this soiface would soing out over celeste because "my favorite youtuber was getting so mad i gotta buy it!">*plays for 15 minutes before never picking it up again*>*proceeds to talk at length for years on end how great the game is*kek. it's like those people who say "I'm a software engineer and I make $300k a year" but then you pick a little and you find out its fucking lie. What they really meant is "I'm going to be a software engineer who will make $300k a year because that's what the university told me would happen"I'm fuming right now just seeing what the average person is like in both regards. Do I just literally make some slop and have tremendously better odds of success versus an actually carefully curated game? If I had $1m right now I'd seriously consider testing this theory out right now since I won't feel dread from taking such a risk. Game flops, no big deal. But wew having it confirmed would just make want to produce as much slop as possible, maybe gamers will get burnt out from it.
You pirated a game from a small indie studio? Shame on you. This is the exact reason why indie studios struggle.
>>498320536but I had to steal their ideas
>>498319856when you put indie on your game it lets people give you a fair chance.The good qualities are boosted, the bad qualities are brushed off.when you don't put indie, you're saying, "my game is not indie".The good qualities are below expectations, the bad qualities are inexcusable.Sure, a smart shopper would be able to tell form amateur art that it's indie, but most would just trash it without the indie title.
>>498319160you have to sell your soul
>>498320696and what if you put 'Quirktown' as a tag?
>>498320536No, I bought Marmoreal. I still haven't gotten my complimentary sex, though.
10 is double 5 but 15 is only 3 times 5
>>498320350The answer is always to be genuine and ethical. Make the thing you really care about instead of contributing to the sea of slop. You'll probably flop several times but it will slowly become a base with which you can bootstrap yourself and utilize those past experiences and acquired knowledge + skill to bring your vision to life finally. Look at the people who make it big on nonsense meme games because of social media. In 10 years, no one is going to know what the hell Helltaker is, but everyone is going to know what Minecraft is.
>>498320696indie is a useless tag that no one even notices is there. its a bait to use it because fucking no one goes on steam and looks for games under the damn indie tag.
>>498320536I wish there were indie games I want to play.
>>498320821marmo is a REAL LIFE GIRL?
>>498320824Finally someone gets it.
>>498321123>>498321123>>498321123
>>498320821I refunded it after I left a negative review so it could show as "product refunded" along with the review >>498320696So I guess my plan is retarded then, right? I was thinking to try and distance myself from indie developers because I don't like the things I'm seeing in the indie scene, lots of trend hopping and prioritizing social media cancer over making a great game. So I thought maybe people would appreciate it as a breath of fresh air if I don't label it as indie despite it not being AAA quality.
>>498320890Next time you see 50 MUST PLAY INDIES, your game isn't gonna be on the list because no one can find it.Youtubers aren't going to make videos about your game because it doesn't have indie in your tags.Do you want to e-mail Asmongold? Is that what you want? "Markiplier play my game?"indie tag isn't for shoppers it's for corpos wanting to give you money just for being indie.
>>498321325you are retarded
>>498321325>Do you want to e-mail Asmongold? Is that what you want? "Markiplier play my game?"That's literally indie game marketing in the year of lord + 2024. What a pathetic joke lol
>>498317875I love mechs and I love you
>>498321415enjoy your no coverage>>498321147tags are so people can find your game. literally mogging everyone as an indie will only give you more money, "damn let's keep an eye on anon he's gonna make kino a second and third time"it's like being the world's most talented amateur boxer.
>>498319160Not a shader, it's just glPolygonMode = GL_LINEYou can probably emulate it with shaders, try googling "wireframe shader" or something and steal it
>>498318791nintendo! imagine a pokemon game made by people who like to make art
>>498321753You make a good point but I don't listen to people who use the word "mogging" so I'm just going to call you a retard and ignore you. Kino is okay to use though.
>>498321843The godot renderer supports a line drawing mode btw
>>498321325>make a '10 must play hidden gems' video, put my own game as number 1. gottem
>>498322183Thanks I'd rather use professional industry standard tools like OpenGL however.
>>498321843It is not glPolygonMode, it is a shader, it is also not wireframe mode.

>>498323945It's so cool. When I was a kid, I borrowed from the library a book about drawing japanese-style mechas. My older sister made fun of me because there was a section where it taught you how to draw humans and the girls had boobs. But the joke is on her, because a year later I saw her boobs and got a boner. Lol
>>498295432nobody in games actually thinks this "whole game simulation" stuff is going anywhere.the "AI" bubble has officially reached NFT levels of retardation, as in, AI evangelists are now as insincere or outright stupid as crypto evangelists by the time NFTs became a thing. this year you can really tell who was reasonably optimistic before and who was a cynical grifter all along. the latter are marching on in lock step.>Right now it can only simulate existing gamesno, it cannot. it's not simulating jack shit. it's auto-completing a video feed one frame at a time. there is no understanding of game mechanics. machine learning is completely the wrong tool to drive game logic. you can actually drive some limited parts of a game's presentation like a fluid simulation or an upscaling algorithm with machine learning and that's cool. there are already "AI water" assets for Unity and Unreal.the pattern of useful machine learning is clear: PARALLEL COMPUTATION, APPROXIMATING something otherwise EXPENSIVE.now look at CSGO: trivial to run on a cheap CPU, heavily single-threaded, needs to be precise and remember exactly what happened. can't guess and make shit up, that would ruin everything."whole game simulation" is a retarded idea. game loops are the opposite of what ML excels at.>you're lucky to even get double digit FPSyou will get more realistic graphics at a better framerate. you won't get a game.>the concept exists and is proven to work at a fundamental levelexample of the wishful thinking this "AI" bubble has fostered.it's especially hilarious that they are using a multiplayer game as training data. I guarantee you the developers behind this are NOT delusional enough to think you would ever be able to play their """game""" against other players. they chose CSGO for its limited play spaces and repetitive player actions, good for convergence.
>>498325996I mean, you're right, but also you're wrong, because you think people won't adopt a dogshit tool that makes everything worse just because it can kinda make cheap pretty images at the right angle. That's Unreal's whole business model, am I right, fellas?
>>498295432>he fell for the openAI FAGMAN marketing ruse
Is zig good language, a bad language or a jewish language?
