Does your game feature temporary body changes based on the character's actions?
My thinkpad broke so I don't have a way to test my linux cases for my game. I have to wait until next week for the replacement to arrive before I can do any work.

>>498321252I will do it. I will make the game that's better than the dumpster that is Skyrim.
agdg seriously has no clue how good my waifu model is coming.
>>498321616source?
>>498321393lots of single moms over here so this is pretty much useless replace milo with chad that actually sticks around
>>498321380>30 year old loli
>>498295432>Player jumps>Floats down at 0mphthis will not be better than actual code for gameplay focused games for the next 500 years.But in a surreal, exploration focused adventure game, this could literally be genre defining.>Like AI Dungeon, but in a 3d minecraft style dream world. Anything the supercomputer can imagine is created, and ready for you to explore. Non-Euclidean Geometry is the default.And imagine that but for a horror game.
I had a dream that From Soft made a 4-player Dark Souls game that whose scale of grandness or whatever you want to call it was somewhere between Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. You had four roles, where someone would play the sword and shield knight guy, someone plays the dexterity guy, the mage guy, and the big armor heavy weapon guy. It was called Soul Quartet. Maybe someone should make that, it would probably be fun.

Any tips on modular kits?Where can I find free ones?
>>498321712soon I'll show it here.
>>498322184you really dont need to do that
>>498322174>get openmw>see how it's all done
>>498321328yes. In 3D Dwarf Fortress you can have limbs cut off.and yes, it is temporary if you find a healer or engineer. Certain Healers can grow your limb back by the power of God, and Engineers can make an advanced prosthetic from ancient precursor technology.
>>498322174did you watch that great 2016 gdc talk by Joel Burgess and Nate Purkeypile?
>>498322295but who made the ancient precursor technology
>>498322409Yes.
>>498322409>Joel Burgess and Nate Purkeypile?stop making up stupid names
>>498322460kangz
whatever weight I manage to lose through the week I seem to put it back the day I go grocery shopping :(
>>498322460Depends on the World you're in. Each realm has an 'end-game' tech that you can strive to get. There are different flavors of ancient precursor technology.Some bad , some good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5El-yYNUwU>solo dev made a trailer for a game hes been working on for a long time>this trailer got him a deal with sony to make the game with a small team>8 years later the game still hasnt been released
>>498322647Making a game is hard. Making a 3D game is especially hard. Making a AAA game takes almost a decade, unless you're just recycling the previous project every year like Assassins Creed and the like. Hey, maybe I should do that.
I'm so screwed when I transfer my game to the updated engine. I just know there's going to be tons of bugs and I wont be able to fix them all.
>>498322852You will never be an AAA developer. Don't kid yourself.
>>498322896then dont
>>498322565what realms are there
>>498322852if it works it works
>>498322896Do you have to update the engine?
>>498322647this used to be hailed as the greatest a solodev could aspire to. Now it looks 10 years out of date even with RTX on in the latest video.
>>498322798This or alternatively swap shaders and 2d art to go for a retro lowpoly look.
>>498322798Ill just hire an artist and watch the money roll in
>>498322954The Aether Realm.The Air Realm, the Water Realm, the Earth Realm, the Fire Realm.And then numerous smaller realms within Stars which are kind of like Daedric realms.It's a really unique lore and I don't want to spoil too much.
>>498322942Not in this current game industry with all the layoffs, maybe. In a better job market I could probably leverage my transferable skills and experience in CSM development, to try and get in. But I hear it's very hard to get into EA and similar companies, and that you have to know someone. My sister's mom is an accountant at a company where a guy on the board of directors claims he knows all the cool people who worked on Halo 2, so maybe I have a shot.
>>498322798>no game designlollmao
mfw I read through #suggestions in the discord of the game that I'm cloning to get ideas for my own
>>498323246it's cumulatively added you spent 25 points on programming alone lol
>>498323037Graphical fidelity will not compensate for bad art direction. It isn't the early 2000's where we were amazed by graphical fidelity.
>>498323184Why max out on 3D art?
>>498323365Nobody cares about that. This place is full on business and sales. No one gives a shit if you tried to make something good and interesting. As long as you made some trendy slop that is appealing to the normalfag cattle such that they pay the money then you won.
>>498323390well that's fucking dumb
>>498323597i just want to make a fun game
>>498322798Except this isn’t how real life works. Some people are just born with all 72 points to spend while (most) others can’t even scrounge up 5.
>>498323014>>498322946By the point the game is ready the engine could be ten years out of date.
>>498323390then that's a really shitty game system
>>498323591Because high quality models and animations are big for marketability of a game.
>>498322798You forgot the most important stat: luck[/spoiler ]
>>498322184please don't>>>/3/
>>498323705What's the engine? Unity? That engine allows you to download older versions from their site, and you can always back up the older versions yourself. I don't see the downside to not updating. Some (not all) professional dev studios don't even update their tools until the project is complete unless absolutely necessary.
>>498322798since i'm good with 3D shtuf
>>498321906rude, she's cute (in real life)
my game is going to get very strange in the end game portions.I'm talking players being able to lay in bed and then enter a lucid dream state where they rewrite time.
>>498323813that's not true at all, judging by how many games make it big with bastardized PS1 graphics
so basically, my RPG's trajectory is this:1. You can go the normal route. Mundane weakness to mundane strength.2. You can go the supernatural route. Mundane weakness to Spiritual strength. Where you can bend reality. The player can completely miss this aspect of the game, I don't care if no one finds it. The mundane classic hero route will be what most go for.
i have approximately 20+ dynamic scrollable list UI cancershit to implement in unityi want to gouge my eyes outany tips on how to work on UI without wanting to mutilate myself?
>>498324094MODS !
>>498322798if you want to make money, you do this
>>498324296Youtubers with 10,000 subscribers will start making videos like "This game is underrated masterpiece!" You have a good idea.
>>498321328To any kissless virgin, it looks better than it feels trust me. Also lips are kinda cold compared to the rest of the body
>>498321123Redid it, this should be easier to understand.

>>498324094>large handsThat's a man.
>>498323383people like this fucker is the reason why i dont post progress

>>498324441booze
>>498324743My wife and ex-gfs, I live in a cold country trust me lips and fingers get cold, kissing is fucking overrated but women enjoy it.
>>498324531bags of sand....
>>498324554Ok, I max out 2d art and put 1 point in the rest except marketing
Would it be better to make a 3D model of the boss and do some arc-sys type magic to make it look 2D? I am figuring that the animations for the movesets will require a lot of tweaking during playtesting so it would be annoying if I had to animate traditionally.
>>498325157sure. an alternate route, get it all done in 3d and trace it with pixel art after.
>>498325157I don't really think it matters because the game is ugly either way,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9J8S5P8sJcshartdew and its consequences>>498325157yes, the 3d model to pixel art toolchain is well documented nowadays
>>498324554This is hard, I want to do both 2D and 3D games. I have more 2D dream games than I do for 3D. But the 3D games feel significantly grander. Games I could update for years on end. I get the feeling I'll regret either choice.
>>498322896You don't need to update when you don't need to
>>498325447>>498325157Damn it I was just kidding it was spur of the moment. Don't hold it against me and don't feel bad.
>>498325378>>498325485I am deliberately avoiding pixelslop.>>498325447That's literally just placeholders.....
>>498325485stardew valley became a benchmark for indie devs
Steam fest is starting tomorrow, any expectations?
>>498325694there is no easy solution then, high fidelity 3d is hard to deal with if you want a 2d feelif you have the money you can get spine and use mesh deformations but you need to pay them 2k a year iirc
>>498325861I expect it will all be indie slop that will be forgotten in 5 years if not sooner.
>>498325157If you're the only one play testing you can do rough animations and then draw hitboxes over them to indicate changes until you've finalised the gameplay, then redo the art.

You can never make me hate eric. ever
>>498324554This is me being honest.
>>498326404Eric is not to be hated.

>>498326534I would rather go solo than be a part of this shit or the monthly slop jams that you guys have here
>>498295432the "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. "the concept" is a failed idea from academic paycheck stealers.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.
>>498326337Same, my real skills are more like>Programming: 1 box filled out>2D Art: 1 box filled out>Marketing: 3 boxes filled out (but cause my game sucks it doesn't matter, you need a good game for this to matter much)That's a whopping 9 points!

>>498327535show pics
>>498327170I will create a new global variable every single time I need something. I will copy and paste code with minor modifications. I will pass tens of parameters into a function. I will loop multiple times to get the desired result. And I will store all the code in one file.
>>498327535You too, huh?
>>498327517It seemed to work out for marmalade
>>498326404moot
>>498327614I mean technically if it works, it works.
>>498327614You forgot the part where 4 months into your project it starts taking you 50x longer to add anything and you wonder how this could have happened when you're so smart and everyone trying to get you to code well is so dumb.
>>498327170
>>498326447I'll give you three fiddy to market my game
>>498327996Wow no wonder modern software is such shitComputer chips keep getting faster but developers just become more retarded so that software never gets any faster
>>498327170Yea, I've been doing that. But only a few more things I want to implement and then I'll step away and do a full codebase refactor and optimization pass.
>>498328125>he fell the computer chips are getting faster meme
singleton
>>498327614Most of this is fine but it's even easier if for you to make a function instead of copy pasting the code that many times>>498328209You are literally using a supercomputer right now. Modern programmers have no idea how fast their computers are. You can have software and operating systems that are 100x faster. Today. All you have to do is program the operating systems and all of its programs from scratch.
>>498328346>super computer>can crash blender if I set the value to 12ok bud
>>498325694sirs, how do i get one of those pokemons ?
>>498328438That's because the mediocre programmers who write Blender don't know how powerful their supercomputers really are.
>>498328217what if you just made everything into singletons
>>498327614future yandere dev in the makingsoon you'll understand why he's taking so long getting the game done
>>498328612now youre gamedevvin
>>498322896Why transfer to a new engine? Unless it's one of those requirements where you need a new version since I vaguely recall that at least one console and mobiles games demand recent API's or whatever. No way can I update for that. I've tried in the past, I'm stuck in Unity 2018. 2019 breaks stuff.What am I supposed to do when they're so demanding? Just make the whole game's art assets first, find relevant music, buy the sfx that feel right in my imagination, and learn programming so much that I can code the whole game in under a years time once I'm ready?
>>498328697All the lemons who dogpile on yandere dev are pseuds themselves who don't understand shit about programming and are just parroting social media posts. A subgroup of these same people who also happen to be game developers quietly do the same terrible antipattern shit in their own games.
>>498328807>What am I supposed to do when they're so demanding?This is when you pay the money for engineers who can port it to consoles for you.
>>498326729i agree: they almost always make the wearer look worse
When did you start hating "gamers"? >Noooh we need a long as death animation for every single game ever
>>498329568It was a joke post, relax.
>>498329568I just don't listen to players at all. I tend to view most people as a type of cattle anyways. The only time I will ever see any input from players is when I look at the sales.
>>498329568ragdolls with some restitution and some impulses applied to random limbs and the head are the best death "animations"
>>498329762Post games that do that?
>>498329568Gamers are retarded sheep. Why waste time hating those that are below you? You should be guiding them as a game developer so that they're too busy having fun with your game to have stupid retard thoughts.
>>498329942Imagine even caring whether or not that cattle has "fun" with your work. Pathetic.
>>498329942Good mindset.
>>498330010Making them have fun is what brings you profits.
>>498330105Not necessarily, look at FF7R. That game is boring as shit
>>498328125Problem 1: Money, be the best and you get to be at the top raking in huge stacks of it>all the cpu and gpu manufacturers are racing to the top>never slow down to make sure stuff is of good quality and stableProblem 2: Gamers wants max graphics/Triple A wants to outcompete all the other Triple A>triple A probably develops on the highest end of all equipment>extreme graphics + poor coding are feasible since it runs on the top end gear so max focus on art to outcompete the other triple A companiesAnd just like that, rather than stall and make sure stuff is well done, whether that be the development of GPU's not requiring tremendous amounts of electricity. Which in the US is getting a little too close to a wall outlets limit. Or for that matter making game's right so I don't have a freaking 1+ minute load time in Witcher 3. I hated that so much I got paranoid and would save frequently so I wouldn't have to redo all that stuff again.
>>498330259Big publishers make money with marketing because gamers are retarded sheep that do what they're told to do. It's way more difficult to do that as an indie.
>>498330321You are correct, but you're talking about the professional games industry where people know advanced graphics programming techniques and more or less understand where their variables live in memory. Ironically these people are not the problem as they know a lot more about how their programs run than your average unityslop.
>>498329568>left>surviveslol as if he wouldn't be dead irl>rightthat's like many 3D game's, whats the problem? you just want a cinematic fight like left where it's just "push this button when it appears on screen"
I'm now much stronger, chuds.
>>498330610The games industry uses a bunch of outsourcing often in low income nations with questionable skill levels. That's a big reason why big budget games have become so shit in the past decade or so. They're programmed by amateurs with maybe someone relatively skilled responsible for parsing together all that spaghetti code into something that resembles a game.
>>498330740the left just ends before the actual end
Hot take: Loading times are okay and doing away with being patient is what has lead to the downfall of games.
>>498331097That's everywhere though, not just the games industry, which explains why everything has gotten so much lower in quality so quickly over the past decade. You're right again, I'm talking about senior engineers who work at EA and that kind of thing. >>498331249What Andy giveth, Bill taketh away.
>>498330764Do you do paid work? I'm looking for a 3d artist of that style.

>>498331249Sure. there is a limit though, see starfield. though I wouldn't play it even it it had 0 loadscreens
What's the bar of quality to post a model here and get praised, called cute, gmi, etc
>>498330610i've had too many indie game's get worse over the years or just outright suck at running. even when i had a cpu/gpu combo released after those games released. Arma 2 or 7 Days to Die struggled to work. seriously? just how poorly optimized are they to not be able to work that well? worst was when some years down the line other games in constant development started becoming massive lag fests and not worth playing. the dev behind Unturned sucks at optimizing and somehow made it worse over the years, from functioning and only getting laggy when I built large structures to just outright being laggy without me building a thing and going to what felt like <10 fps. I wouldn't of desired a new PC as bad if these game's weren't so poorly optimized. The irony being I proceeded to play them for a combined <5 hours since getting the new PC and went back to playing my usual indie games.
>>498331672if i feel like i'm having a good day
>>498331672very low if its animelow otherwise
>>498331327>That's everywhere though, not just the games industry,Well yeah that's why Windows sucks and why most software is terrible. People who code it suck.Big studios have been losing their expert programmers in their pandering to insanity. Brain drain is real. Big names like Bioware, Blizzard and Dice used to make high quality well programmed games. Look at their recent releases. It's just sad.
>>498331097And yet they won't hire me a 1st worlder. And the 3rd worlder indie turns around and charges me, the indie employer, 1st world wage's while unironically happily accepting 3rd world wagies if it's a triple A employer.

>>498331710Yeah it turns out you actually have to know what you're doing (or gain knowledge until you know what you're doing) to get good results. You can cover it up with pretty art or a good story, charming characters. With just that, you can create a passionate fan base. But it's still a mediocre product if the product itself doesn't run well. You should have higher standards for yourself so that you can say:>I have a lot of fans who love my game world and story and characters, AND the game runs well instead of running at 24 FPS on a modern computer

>>498331710>7 Days to DieJust looked it up. Lol at the dev's unashamedly rising the pricing so much.>$44.99I just know the lapdog fanboys will make any excuse for this while crying and moaning over a game being 9.99 and not offering 100 hours of gameplay. The most recent low price seems to be before full release, at 5.99.How many of these devs are pulling this stunt the moment they have a make it game? Seeing this and seeing many gamers defend it so hard with all manners of excuses while hypocrtically looking in disgust at unpopular indie games just asking for 9.99 really makes me want to make a great game and flaunt it in front of them pre-release, just watching them beg for it and then release it at $44.99. They'll buy it, these types are always the same once the horde mentality consumes them.

1285 triangles. Topo bros... I think it's happening. I think I'm getting the topo bug.
>>498328924Eva, is that you? No idea you posted here.
>>498333290Be honest lads, do I have low standards for graphics? I think she looks beautiful but I understand why people who play this type of stuff wouldn't like this style of art compared to current.
>>498333290Wow this art looks so soulful. What the hell happened?
how do i avoid becoming a never-shipper?
>>498324554My way.
>>498334463It is possible for her to look nice and still be low standard. I definitely wouldn't trust a game with this quality of art to be any good.
Added a corridor so that the shitter does not connect to the living room.
>>498334323the bug where your topology looks like shit because you don't understand how to optimize your mesh?
>>498334506>Avoid game jam culture, and indie dev culture in general.

>>498334826what's the room you enter at the end? feels like a bed room but seems set up like a living room.
>>498335407It's a living room, though I haven't added any small props and clutter yet. Here's a webm from yesterday.
it begins
>>498335228Well, at least you have greater perspective than you did when you started the project. How's the project going? If it goes on long enough, you might gain enough perspective to know when to abandon a doomed project and hit the rest button. There's a huge difference between doing that and learning from your mistakes (maybe it was a failure to scope properly), and being someone who just keeps starting new projects because he can't commit to anything.
>>498335709Oh wait is that door behind the curtains? Also is this that horror game some anon is trying to make by Halloween? The one where he's standing outside picking up trashing into a garbage bag?
>>498335905*hit the reset button
why is this happening to me?
>>498335953It's a blank balcony window / door combination. I'm also pretty sure I'm not that anon - it's going to be an RPG.

>>498333795How do you produce this wireframe effect on a model?
>>498335312all of it?1.3k triangles for what is essentially a static cube on top of another static cube is terriblethis is a model made by someone who thinks models have to be airtight with no clipping because they don't know any betterpicrel is basically your exact model with no textures you do not need all those extra quads, you don't need whatever the fuck is happening in those weird trapezoid sections on a completely flat surfacethe galvanized(?) edges is a good idea but you'd be better off just making those separate meshes and clipping them in instead of trying to force the entire model to conform to that topology it wouldn't be that bad if the model had more nuance but it's very flat and has almost zero characterization if the model had nuance to it
>>498336156Oh yeah I get that sometimes. Just put in eyedrops and it will go away
>>498336156>>498337423Staring at computer screens all day, it's not good for you. You have to take a break every hour and do eye exercises. The japanese do it a lot, I would look it up if I were you.
when you play games, how important is the detail on a character design?I feel like detail is one of those things artsy people focus on that normal people don't give a fuck about at all.
>>498337349He's right
>>498337349I take your points and would definitely use something like that for a top down/isometric, where detail wasn't so important, but my game is first person so I definitely wanted the cornerstones to break up the silhouette just a little. Provide some character. Yeah I could make the cornerstones separate objects but I'm trying to form good habits now in simple hardbody objects so I'm not complete dog shit when I have to create stuff like complex organic models (higher poly animals/people etc). While you're showing off, do you have any of those you'd like to share with the class? All in one object with topo visible for us to assess?
>>498337848Artfags are trannies and you can successfully ignore them. If regular players like your game, then the artfags will draw "fan" art of your game anyways to hop on the latest trend. However, you should consider your characters as an extension of the work you're trying to create and the living breathing soul of your game. If you're going to do this hard work anyways, then you might as well try to do a good job, right?
>>498337349Why are you dishing out advice when you don't even recognise what the "weird trapezoid sections" are for? Also, 244 triangles for that...
>>498337349>you don't need whatever the fuck is happening in those weird trapezoid sections on a completely flat surfaceOh PLEASE show us some of your more complex models I am begging you lol. I bet your asset topology has more triangles than a conspiracy theorist's corkboard.
>>498338528weird post
>>498338143making them separate objects may require more draw calls, so he's best ignored
>>498337349>244 triangleswhy so many?
>>498338236yeah it's just tough to know how to be more "holistic" about art in games. I think minimalism of n64 games is ideal but I literally don't know how to do that same level of detail with modern graphics, I don't want to make low poly and I don't want my shit to look like empty soulless testbed terrain. Tempted to ignore thinking about art beyond "replacing placeholders" I think games as art is a huge meme, btw.Like this would look great as a poster but I do not care for the subject at all.
added some damage feedback
>>498338356>Also, 244 triangles for that...Excellent point. He can't even be retarded properly. This is why you ignore faggot no dev crabs with no games.
>>498337349>>498338856calmly explain to me why this cant be done with 11 cubes.
>>498339048Honestly dude if you’re into the art side, it’s worth digging in and experimenting until you find that sweet spot between minimalism and modern detail. I would take time off from regular dev work to just draw or model and prototype the art itself. You don’t have to go full low-poly to get that N64 vibe so maybe look into stuff with flatter textures or stylized lighting that’s more suggestive than realistic? You could go for something that feels minimal, but with a modern edge kind of like Journey or Inside, where the style is super simple but still atmospheric.If “games as art” feels overhyped to you then don’t even focus on that but just build an aesthetic that matches your vision and the rest will follow. You do have a vision, right?
>my long ass to do list is finally cleared after weeks of steady work>can go back to my game with peace of mindlet's fucking go!
I want to make a game where all you do is kill shit to get exp/levels/items to get stronger to kill more shit. But I want to make it online. Would anyone play this?
>>498339938monster hunter is proof that millions would play this if you make it good.
>>498334926I smell... Colombia... This is fucking Cris, isn't it? Always beware the posts that start in lower case. Now stfu you spastic.
>prayed for trainwiz's downfall>it workedwas I too harsh? how do I repent?
>>498339938Hell yeah I would play this offline if I had to. I specifically like FF14's concept of the ARR relic weapons where you had a this crazy laundry list of tasks. I wish there was a game like that but offline and not needing another player ever, I would totally play that.
>>49833979311 cubes would be enough for the battlements, then you need a couple more for the tower14 cubes total. 168 vertices
>>498340191Go buy at least three copies of Underspace.

>>498339835>You could go for something that feels minimal, but with a modern edge kind of like Journey or Inside, where the style is super simple but still atmospheric.That's brilliant, I'm thinking about going this route. >If “games as art” feels overhyped to you then don’t even focus on that but just build an aesthetic that matches your vision and the rest will follow. You do have a vision, right?Yeah absolutely. Vision is why I'm so caught up on this aspect of dev. It's hard to think of what I want because it's a very minimal kind of style, I don't want to do anything over decorated, but I like stuff that has a "post low-poly" look. Something like Shadow of The Colossus or maybe even FF11 level of detail, sparse but still appealing.I'll probably do more art stuff, until I figure it out. It feels like an easy thing to fuck up.
>>498338698You have weird models that look like this. If you have any at all.
>>498339792
>>498338143this building was for a challenge I made and it's basically a cube mapped with a single material but it has a tiny bit of detail around the top along with the windows and stairs, which are two objects that get batched together with the building itself, which i included in the bottom right for the faggot @ 498338715 all I can see is you being weirdly defensive and not even trying to maybe understand a different approach to making game assets because if you really want to make games then you would know that making assets is very time consuming and you don't have all fucking day to make an airtight mesh when you're making your 500th asset for one fucking leveland if you want to make good looking models? why the fuck are you here? go to /3/ retardso please don't reply because i'm not going to reply back because I always forget nobody here wants to genuinely improve and make games they just want attention
>>498340613We have a new champion. This nigga just won game dev. Now this retard >>498334926>>498337349 probably wants to suck your cock.

>>498340795it's a boss battler, but there's also a settlement development phase between the battles. So you have events that can happen in your settlement, the items you get in the hunt can help unlock new technologies. There's permadeath for characters, so you need to raise new possible hunters on your settlement, all while keeping a close count on the amount of resources, or else everyone on the settlement just dies and you lose. So if you take those settlement mechanics, and just do a regular monster hunter boss battle for the hunting phase, you have a very solid survival horror boss battler in a video game form. Also, because it's a videogame you don't have to do all the bookeeping yourself, which is probably the worst part of the board game.
>>498340697>PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BAKE YOUR DETAILS , 800,000 POLYS FOR A SLICE OF BREAD>no, not yet>BAKE YOUR DETAILS ONTO TEXTURES AND PUT THEM ON A LOW POLY RETOPO NOW>not yet

>>498340697>and if you want to make good looking models? why the fuck are you hereAnd there it is kek
>>498335905Yeah I've gained much better understanding but ehhh it feels like a ngmi game so development is definitely slowed by that fact. Now I know what I should do next time>plan it a lot more and detail it down with semi specific milestones>list estimated completion times for the various things>think more carefully on what to make and which idea is also most like to /make it/Oh and at this point abadon a game that feel like it's ngmi it within 1.5 years. I'd say sooner but I'm not super great at developing at high speed so I'd probably be stuck devving for a while before it reaches a state where I can tell if it's worth it or not.
>>498341319
>>498341319Lol
>>498341343yeah, but the mechanics are all painted with a survival horror aspect. The game is mean, if you don't do shit right you'll just get a game over and have to start again. Also it's not a dungeon crawler. There are no maps with objectives and a bunch of mobs. It's like Monster hunter in that sense, you go on hunts to find and kill the bosses. It's all about the boss battle.

>>498342150thanks that works
You guys aren't ready for this announcement.
>>498341534I would add to this that if you really feel like a project has no hope but you still like it, come back and start from scratch when you're older with more experience. Saving the important projects for later means that the important stuff is going to be done by someone who has a lot more experience and thus is more competent of seeing that vision come to life.

>>498343972morning
In an rpg, outside of stealing and lockpicking, how can you make dexterity/agility based characters fun and interesting? In most games they are relegated to sneaking and stealing and stuff, but I really can't think of ways to make them fun. Other archetypes (even warriors) I have an easy time with making interesting, but agility evades me.
>>498344220The types of attacks you can do and the outfits your player characters end up wearing. Different classes can get different Ultimate Weapons and there are different quest chains associated with each.
>>498334953>Avoid game jam culture,many hits are born from jams
>>498337334As >>498342273 says.Look at neighboring texels and check for a large change in the depth value.For example this makes a black edge>>>/g/102812150
>>498344481Many hits are born from pretty much any supposed cause-effect relationship you can think of. Point being that doing what everyone else is doing while everyone else is having such awful results should cause some major cognitive dissonance in your brain.
help design my game.reqs:ue5first personretard proof
>>498344481Which hits? Name whatever "indie meme" game you're thinking of. I guarantee 10 years from now no one will have heard of those games, but they will still remember titles like Minecraft.
>>498341868Stop posting in the schizo containment gen.
>>498344498I forgot the vertex shader>>>/g/102812188So the way I have it set up involves a second render pass. You render to an offscreen target, then the second renderpass uses edge detection and renders to a swapchain target.I'm not sure how much control you have over the way things are rendered >>498337334, but with some modifications, the glsl might be helpful.I'm not the guy who posted the models, to be clear, but I've rendered similar stuff before. Anons keep saying its a wireframe, but a wirefram would show you all the triangles, not the edges of the models.
>>498341868n my experience you should never self-report unless Valve starts harassing you after you've already released. It's much easier to make those changes on your Steam page after the fact than it is to get pas the bureaucratic gatekeeping process before release.

It's much easier to make those changes on your Steam page after the fact than it is to get pas the bureaucratic gatekeeping process before release.It's just the demo, the EA is out there. And I did "self-snitch" after the game got accepted and after an update. It's just that I was lazy and retarded 'nuff to not check the requirement for the Next Fest and realized way too late that a demo was required for it.
>>498344753a room with doors. waves of enemies come through the doors. there is a small window of time to collect dead enemy loot before the next wave of harder enemies come through the doors. you can barricade the doors to delay the waves. there are also lots of switches on the walls(shaped like dicks) that do random things, you don't know until you hit the switch.
>>498336156try to walk for 30+ minutes a day
>>498345249Oh yeah I remeber Superhot, that was pretty good. Those others, eh.... let's see how many people remember those titles in 10 years lolDo you want to make something good or do you want to make something that is only "big" because of current indie game / game jam culture? You are too entrenched in the current zeitgeist of "indie dev" and you don't have your own vision. Unironically you will always be a follower if you keep going on that trajectory. Don't you want to make something that's good?
>>498345604I don't think anyone will remember Superhot in 10 years either
>>498345604you can admit you were wrong, it's an anonymous board. Nobody knows it's you.
>had to give up finding a clever solution and take the easy route
>>498341868Did you have to pay the 100$?
>>498345298the sprite for the rocket needs some work yeah, it's just a placeholderthings can get a little hectic thoughi don't think it's boring
>>498345864>I don't think anyone will remember Superhot in 10 years eitherAnd? Games are not like pieces of art or books. They can't last centuries because they're technologically dependent, imo.
>>498345946I'm talking about the game.
>>498345604>only "big" because of current indie game / game jam culture?most people don't know these are jam games. 99.9% of players don't know. (nta)
>>498346003well let's see yours then big guy
>>498345604If you have any interest in platformers I'm pretty sure you would know of Celeste a decade from now.>>498346003Post game.
>>498345943>Did you have to pay the 100$?Yes. I did, before posting the game on steam(As EA). I just forgot to upload the demo because I'm a big dumb moronic retard.
>>498345946there's just so many particle effects in the screen, it's an eyesore
>>498345604nta, but when i think 'gamejam' games, i'm thinking of scope.trends are important though; moreso, predicting the future. and art is iterative
>>498345943money stolen
>>498346087>If you have any interest in platformers I'm pretty sure you would know of Celeste a decade from now.I disagree. You're just repeating games journalist propaganda because it's popular in the current moment.
>>498346105Bro, literally why? Just post it on itch. I'm not being mean, but your game is "very fucking nieche" at best. Don't bother with steam.
I think this looks good.The issue would be more how do I animate this.
>>498346451eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww
>>498345492you have at least given me some ideas (specifically with the penis levers)
>>498345604The current indie game zeitgeist is not sustainable and will not last. We're already seeing customer no longer giving a shit about cookie cutter indie pixel platformer #109238493289048 posted in the previous thread. You have to try harder and make something inspired rather than trying to fit in with what you perceive to be "indie games."
>>498346318I'm expressing my own thoughts. I think it's one of the best platformers I've played.>>498346451Fuck off cris.
>>498346581The only reason you will remember that game 10 years from now is because I called you a faggot (You're a faggot by the way) and that you held on to that grudge for 10 years and it bothered you.
>>498346372>Bro, literally why? Just post it on itch. I'm not being mean, but your game is "very fucking nieche" at best. Don't bother with steam.Already have. I've got OCD and I was uber obsessed with it. I'm going to a psychologist now so I can work on my problems and stop project hopping.> I'm not being meanI know, fren. I understand. It's just that some "friends" told me I should put it on steam so I could turn it into a portfolio piece so I can get hired as a game dev at a game studio.It's why I went for a game dev post grad. But it's fucking useless now. :/
>>498341868You have to give them saves with forced outcomes
>if your game is not finished we all enter the bad ending timelineit's not about the moneyi must save everyoneI'LL MAKE PROGRESS TODAY!!!!!! ! !
>>498346689No one will ever care enough about you to enough remember any consequence of your existence for nearly so long.
>>498346372Nah itch is a waste of time. Those incompetent retards literally cannot moderate a site properly such that they implemented a very bad AI system where every new user's game is getting flagged for being a virus and they're all complaining because their games are not getting indexed so you can't even search for them and they don't show up in the New Releases page. If your game is good, you should really focus on Steam. If it's game jam slop then itch is a nice way to cope with being mediocre until you start spamming their forums complaining that people won't download your game.
>>498346941Okay. I'm sorry I called you a faggot.
>>498339938>what is diablo
>>498346774imagine if cris was selected to be our champion to protect our universe
>>498346574how might you prove to me that you have THE VISION?i have it
>>498341868The fuck? I didn't realize Steam had such advanced checking. Do they use a bot to play every game they get?
>>498346965>they're all complaining because their games are not getting indexed so you can't even search for them and they don't show up in the New Releases page.You know I wondered, I was setting up the page for my game the other night and tried finding games I KNEW were similar to base my page on or at least see some examples and none of them showed up in the search bar, I had to google the name of the game to get it

>>498347335BLACKBOX GO BRRRRRRRRR
>>498347276For such a popular platform, itch.io should really invest in more staff. >>498347274It's not advanced, that's literally a Valve janny saying that he couldn't verify the mature content in anon's game because the demo didn't include said content or he couldn't confirm that the demo included said content.
>>498345492Actually a good idea.
>>498346705Best I can think of your game achieving is getting into some "top 10 obscure, disturbing horror games" YT vid. As for a protfolio, I mean, if you wanna audition for a studio that makes disturbing, nieche stuff, then yeah. You literally don't need to put in so much effort for a portfolio. Make some basic game clones that demonstrate you have a grasp of how things are done, and I do mean basic. But yeah, if you were thinking of making it or even a portfolio you need something more ... uh, easily digestible.>>498346965I'm only telling not to waste money and effort on a game, that in all sincerity will not make the 100$ back, unless it becomes some mega cult sensation by some very unlikely chance. And if you're wondering about his game ... I'll let him tell you who he is and what his game is.
>>498347510While popular, itch.io makes the dude no money, so I can see why he doesn't care to improve parts of it.
>>498347567>I'm only telling not to waste money and effort on a game, that in all sincerity will not make the 100$ backYes that is 100% correct and not something I want to take away from. If your game is junk and you still don't know what you're doing, don't bother with Steam unless you want to be like those indian guys who shit out those AI anime girl candy crush clones.
>>498347567>that in all sincerity will not make the 100$ backIt's F2p :P. And yeah, I was very much aware it wouldn't make any profit at all. It's why I made it f2p in the first place.>>498347567>Best I can think of your game achieving is getting into some "top 10 obscure, disturbing horror games" YT vid.Nah, I doubt it, the game won't make it far. But that's okay. We can't all be winners. Some of us have to lose. But that won't stop me from working on it and trying to finish it. At least with it being on steam, I'll finally be forced to finish it. Finally.>As for a protfolio, I mean, if you wanna audition for a studio that makes disturbing, nieche stuff, then yeah. You literally don't need to put in so much effort for a portfolio. Make some basic game clones that demonstrate you have a grasp of how things are done, and I do mean basic. But yeah, if you were thinking of making it or even a portfolio you need something more ... uh, easily digestible.Fair enough.

Does anyone here participate in the game jam scene? Any good ones these days? I remember over 10 years ago back in my college days, I used to always participate in ludum dares. Why did I stop? I think 8 just had more hope back then. Might be a good way to get myself going again... or is it futile?

>>498348084Hmm I think I'm just more interested in my current project than messing around with game jam stuff and all the things that come with that. You don't really think about it when you want to join at first, but there are a lot of extra things you have to do like joining the jam's discord and interacting with people, then when everyone posts their games you have to comment on them and give a rating or critique. I don't really want to do that stuff right now. I'm more interested in trying to make something good, because we mostly haven't figured out how to do that in the indie space when compared to things like Chrono Tirigger and all these other things that indie devs cite as their LE RETRO INSPIRATION LOVE LETTER TO

>>498348565You realize why the search doesn't work? Rub your brain cells together. If the search actually worked, people would use it massively and it would constantly have to be querying data. More traffic, more cost. Get it into your mind already. It's the same reason another site doesn't have a working search and you have to use google.

I thought I could tail off and run with my tail between my legs, like a coward and switch to reading and writing. But I'm an ESL and /lit/izens made me realize I'm too awful at it to have a chance. I'm 29, way too old to start doing something else. >Honestly though, chin up and start working on something else. It ain't over till it's over. Just try not to dwell on it too much.I can't. I'll just be repeating he same mistakes over and over again. I'll project hop and will end up doing nothing. I have to finish this project or at least try it, then start over anew. It's a sinking ship and nobody's going to play it. But I enjoy working on games or in my case on "prototypes". Thanks for the kind advice and being real with me.
>>498349028it's a game because it's fun.
Idk it seems like Steam search just works but itch.io you have to beg customer service to index your game and also get rid of the thing on your page that says it might be a virus You get what you pay for? $100 isn't a lot to me but I can see why people from less developed countries might feel like it's a big risk.
>>498348875uninstall steam, you're only allowed to play one offline game from now on so pick carefully. Whenever I get the urge to play I grab the same game and get tired after an hour tops so I go back to work. After some time you'll equate vidya with boredom so you'll want to play less.
>>498349028>stop calling it "make game"Yeah stop using in-group verbiage when in-group results are so bad, and instead go and do your own thing the best way that only you know how to do.

>>498349709Post your game that people care about more than Celeste.
>>498349709>no one cares about that shit.Wrong, everyone but you cares about it. Celeste, for better or worse, is fucking huge. Just because you loathe it doesn't mean it doesn't have a titanic following.
>>498350060I'm not posting my game in this dump.
>>498348875It's just a discipline problem. I deal with it too. You can either choose to make your life all about useless, mindless consumption or all about production.

>>498349093would you consider working on someone else's game and rev-sharing? A team?
>>498350360me>during my game development, I didn't know I was retarded, during early access I became to form a hunch, Post-relocation to Paris, I became known for my appearance at a particular cathedral.
Celeste is a quintessential and disappointing manifestation of the current indie game zeitgeist. Of course it has to be pixel art and of course it has to be a 2d platformer, and of course it has to be a metaphor for being a transgender or whatever. This superficial garbage is like anti-art and is only praised by retards who listen to game journalists and the youtubers who parrot game journalists. Most people lack the capacity to know what is good. There is like a program in their brains where they hear someone say that something is good, and other people are saying something is good, and they want to be a part of the hard and feel valued by the herd because of evolutionary reasons where you don't want to stand out because you get picked off by wild animals predators. So you hear a bunch of people say something is good, and you go and try it because you want to fit in, and what do you know it doesn't make your computer catch on fire when you run it so it must be good. This is the vast majority of what people call "good" and it's not just in games, it's in everything from food to ideology. Once you see that part of the nature of reality you literally cannot unsee it. Hopefully you guys are trying to make better games than Celeste.
>>498351182>would you consider working on someone else's game and rev-sharing? A team?I'll do it for free. Seeing how I ain't that good or decent at anything, it's the least I can do. Yeah.
>>498351234Yep only the truly original people are able to make deep and memorable experiences in games. So true. Thank you for sharing. People who praise Celeste are truly just itch.io indieslop who care more about making "indie games" than they care about making good games, so true...
I feel like most of you are more interested in making "indie games" than you are in making good games. Is this true?
>>498351547replace "indie games" with "loli games" and it's true
>>498351547not true, I'm interest solely on making profit.
>>498351547not me. I've been making games since before 'indie-game' was a term.
>>498351663You must be ancient. Why the fuck are you still an amateur game dev? You must be a wizard by now.
>>498351547no, i just make the game i want to play.
>>498351547Indie games started out as this wild west of creativity, where anything could happen. But now, even indies have these unspoken rules, like you have to be quirky and low-budget looking to be authentic. You either play to the indie expectations or risk getting lost in the noise. Artistic integrity often means ignoring trends entirely, which is at odds with the current indie culture that thrives on them. If you're genuine and want to make something genuinely good, make something that feels timeless, like it makes sense regardless of what era you play it in. Something that archeologists will dig up 1000 years from now and say "this is a good work of art" rather than "this was another derivative work that is only a product of its time and nothing more"
>adhering to random archeologists' take on what is a good work of arthahkek even
>>498352154Better than adhering to some random troon's idea of art
Suppose my model is made out of a bunch of disconnected bits, do i have to manually uv, texture, etc. each bit?
>>498351740I started with klik & play. I'm 36. I'm a pro but not at gamedev since it's just a hobby.
>>498351972Yeah this doesn't describe Celeste at all. Celeste is totally just a product of its time and the current indie game trend cringe. It's not going to hold up at all man these losers just don't get it.
How many times do I have to reply to myself to simulate conversation on here
>>498351972I feel like archeologists 1000 years from now will more likely dig up a game and say >what the fuck is this Rather than pretending it's art
>>498352226they can share a space on the UV map. so just one texture and map all the stuff to it
>>498352519just post progress and discussion will follow
>>498351278>>498351182Anyhow, anon, if yer' really "interested" and not shooting shit, I do 2D and 3D art.My 3D "art" is not that great. And my 2D is silly.Here's the past prototypes if you're interested in what the 3D games + models looks like.https://www.youtube.com/@darkcrusader1928/videosAnd my 2D deviantart portofolio:https://www.deviantart.com/juststevenyogosz
>>498351972I'm creating out of joy and with no regard toward trends or indie culture.
>>498352668Last time I did that I just got attacked for being genuine artist!
>>498352693what do you use to generate these?>inb4 a brush
>>498352693So do people uhhh actually pay you for this stuff uhhhh lol
Drink water right now, your brain needs it to function
does unity still have more free assets and tools than ue? if next gen graphics arent a concern...
>>498352881>So do people uhhh actually pay you for this stuff uhhhh lolNo, I make these for free.>>498352865>what do you use to generate these?I made them myself in Photoshop. In 2015, or so. Waybackmachine is down but I saved a snapshot with timestamps when I posted them on newgrounds.
>>498352758see? there was discussion after you posted progress
>>498352758Me too fuck you guys you don't deserve my genuine game
>>498352693I need a 3D artist really.Could you do art like pic rel?And as for setting something up, I could take a look at more of your 3D art and if you can make something that fits the style I have in mind, then we could very well be a good match.So I'll keep a lookout for what you post here, particularly in terms of 3D art.
>>498353096>I make these for freeyeah i can uhhhh tell uhhhhhh lol
>>498352656Man that's awesome, any good resources i can use to learn more about this?
>>498353096I think your art looks really cool. Very fun to look at.I was pretty sure it wasn't AI but it kind of fit in that zone and there were probably other anons wondering.>498353312Post game / art
>>498353231P.SOf course it'd be rev share if we do end up being a good match. And also my 3D artist would get a portion of whatever I make on YouTube.
How much you wanna bet the genuine game is a shitty rpg about depression
Mongol, here's more of what I'm picturing for the game:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elnij4TAxAs&ab_channel=nel%28nelstuff%29I'm even generating the world the same way this guy was. But in terms of art style, sort of a low to mid poly, crunchy type of RPG.

>>498353714Say the n word a lot in your game, no one will be pretentious about that because pretentiousness is inherently left-wing and pretentiousness by definition is non-genuine, which defines leftoid ideology to a T.

>>498334323Lower the res of your textures. It's too high res for having no normal maps and no specific texturing to account for the shape of the object. When they used textures like that they were way lower res. It looks off when it's that high res.
>>498339938There's actually a lack of games like that. It's an unexploited niche. Yeah we got MonHun and orblikes but beyond that there's really not a lot. Everything is a roguelite nowadays.
>>498339938how does this differ from an MMO?

>>498358000add a sepia filter
>>498358000trees look a bit like guacamole but I like it overall.
>>498357867Going all out PBR would be wrong but a lot of games of that era used normal maps and specular maps. Depends on the style you want of course.

>>498360989*It dawned on me you think it's poking fun at old lowpoly by choosing an ugly pic of driver 2, but I didn't mean it that way, I was just looking for a city pic to match with the synty one and driver came to mind first. I like driver graphics, looks better in motion.

>>498362486Standards evolve over time. Low-poly should just whatever can run on low-end devices. Today, that would just be whatever runs on Intel integrated graphics and mid-tier $200-300 android phones (wouldn't bother going for lower than that, since those kind of people can't afford to buy games).

Damn people are getting genuinely scared by the most basic & uninteresting horror games on the market. Seems like I should just make horror slop in order to get money
Do you guys ever just have that one "pet" thing of yours that you desperately want to have in but you just know deep down that it has to go because there's no place for it, so you fruitlessly fight yourself over it for a while?
>>498364814yesbut you also kinda missed your window, the spooky season is almost over
>>498363464>low-end devicestessellation will be available on those before long if not already. If you can't see the polys, is it really low poly?

I know I probably need to focus on programming but doing many tasks in the limited amount of time is very exhausting and hard for me at the moment sadly even though I work hard to improve on LeetCode. May be I should apply for GameDev Jobs in the USA but I heard it is hard to get a junior position job even for locals^

turns out texturing is really hard
>>498365294I would just walk up to Mr nintendo-san and show him my games. would probably get hired on the spot gobusatashitsureishimasu yoroshikuonegaishimasu
>>498365294this is the most coherent set of sentences I've seen you type yet
>>498365419Anyone who can texture like this should be greatly rewarded.
>>498365607The texturing part is not that difficult, at least I've done some similar stuff with a drawing tablet in Blender. You can literally draw on the model with a pen. There's much better software for it than Blender, though; Blender's tools are fairly lacking.The hard part is the actual drawing, I can't draw for shit. All I know are broad, dark strokes with subsequently smaller, brighter strokes on top.
>>498365607Looks like AI projection to me. There's a Unity plugin you can use yourself.
>>498365059You don't even need tessellation. So long as you're not being retarded, a $200 phone/laptop can render several hundred thousand tris (some over 1m) at the device's native resolution + refresh rate. That means if you dedicate about half your tris to the environment and half to the characters, you can easily have 10+ 5k tri character models in a scene.
>using modern day cheap hardware standards as your low end benchmarkif your game can't run on my 2003 PC in the closet, it's shitif your game couldn't even run on a ps3/xbox360 then it's giga shit

>dedicating half your tris to the environmentWhy on earth would you ever do that?
>>498365774not AI. I've seen the AI texturing stuff mimic popular game texturing styles, but it's a shame people will dismiss real stuff so easily...
>>498365918>>498364780How does pollution in the global namespace affect my gameplay experience?
>>498365918windows.h already has approximately 6.3 billion magic symbols you can #define to selectively exclude portions of win32
>>498326645>Early 2000's G4 aesthetic???
>>498337349Honestly don't listen to anyone in this thread, you see those coins on the table? each one is 9k verts.Optimization doesn't matter in games anymore. Instead, when players complain about optimization, attack them directly and tell them to get better PC's.
>>498327558Glownigger level of incompetency
>Healed To Deathbeen adding new enemies and getting spell effects to reflect what they do. This one casts a curse on your party dealing massive damage when it expires if the enemy caster is still alive.
>>498366629More time spent solving namespace issues -> Less time spent on gameplay -> Mediocre gameplay -> End user pissed>>498366657In my experience with using the WIN32 API, I've noted that I only need a handful of functions from the headers. Therefore, simply writing the function declarations in a custom header, then namespacing said header off is a) feasible and b) handy.As a plus, I dont have to deal with the ramnifications of being unable to name a struct "Rectangle" because windows.h did it first.

>>498367701Put me in as an enemy. I'd have that mage stolen away the moment the others turn away from her. It'd look like the most graphic portions of Goblin Slayer but 10 times worse.
>>498364934I had two.One of them was some fanservice which I desperately wanted to add but it really didn't fit at any point.The other is a mechanic interaction which I thought was cool when I first came up with my game idea, but as I fleshed the gameplay loop more, that fun mechanic interaction became awkward and didn't fit the rest of the game, it's a one off thing that exists for the sake of it and feels kinda janky. (i.e. imagine a game with undead enemies, and if you throw a healing potion at them it damages them. but there's absolutely no reason to throw potions at any other point in the game, the mechanic exists just for this. This isn't my situation but just a similar case for it.)

>>498371795>honestly everyone involved with making a game deserves a steam key to it by default imhoI agree, but I meant that currently, the only thing I can offer actors is the game itself (the steme key). I can't pay them due to a series of problems and I'm asking if it's sensible to approach people with that kind of offer.

any godot gurus around? I'm going crazy.>node1 is parent of node2>inside node2: >var parent = get_parent()>node1.function1()>2nd line gives nonexistent function errorThis has worked for other scripts and functions but suddenlyYes I've checked the function's spelling, yes I've checked I'm referencing the correct parent node.
>>498373091dead engine m8
>>498373152What does that great abandoned game have to do with this?
>texturing
Take the Patreonpill, Anon
>>498373091Is it a built-in function or a custom script? If it's a script, are you sure the script is correctly attached?
>>498369762Just use bevy 0.14
it's not fair... apparently AAA studios can literally just call nvidia for tech support... how am I supposed to compete with that...
>>498373091Children calling functions on parents is bad practice usually, but I guess you already know that so I'll skip this step.Where and when do you call the function? If it's inside the child's _Ready function, then it won't work for example, because Children get _Ready first when they enter the scene tree, and their parents are set up later, so the parent might not be initialized yet.
>>498373362>it's not fair...How old were you when you discovered that life is unfair?
>>498373091use exports and signals like a normal personalso what exactly is the code? you set the variable "parent" for node1 but then you reference "node1"?
>>498373362just call them and say you are john unreal requesting assistance.
>>498373091Why are you doing node1.function() and not parent.function()?(godot and gdscript are complete shit stop using it)
How does one avoid getting sidetracked by trying to make greybox levels look good when I should be working on actual gameplay?>>498373362What kind of tech support would you even need from nvidia?
>>498373362lmao you should be happy that GPU vendors let you program for their devices at all without a licensed dev kit at the low price of $1.2 million USD per year
>>498373285Custom script. Script is indeed correctly attached.Its the current scene script. Referencing other functions like this seemed to work in the past>>498373406>>498373454Yes I agree its bad. Its called when body entering an area2D. Might have half assed the code description when posting thatThe child script process checks some conditions and if evaluates to true then calls player_reached_center()func player_reached_center(): if !reached: reached = true fall_workflow(player)func fall_workflow(player): #something something var world = get_parent() world.map_damage()
>>498373517>What kind of tech support would you even need from nvidia?When you deep dive into Vulkan/DX12 you'll eventually run into issues that require clarification from the vendors themselves about how the hardware itself handles certain things.
>>498373201Dead Engine is abandoned? It looked really cool and like the progress was pretty advanced.
>>498373767Apparently the dev Rip in pieces but I dunno
>>498373521I know people love sucking corporate dick if it means having access to "the best video games" but I think at that point a lot of the market would abandon the big three for chinese knockoffs that respect your freedums even if the tech is 15 years behind and gives your data to the CCP.
>>498373667If you need to reference upward to a static entity like that, I would make add your "World" to a group and get_tree().get_first_node_in_group("World") to find it from anywhere.
>>498372535my game will make people atheists, so it balances out>>498371917wow that's messed up
>>498373667test[code]func player_reached_center(): if !reached: reached = true fall_workflow(player)func fall_workflow(player): #something something var world = get_parent() world.map_damage()[/code]Is the code tag working?
i did iti thought about making a video game
>>498374073no code tag for /vg/
>>498373667>>498374073god i hate gdscript so fucking muchif i had a time machine i'd use it to prevent python from ever existing
>>498373362if a person needs an nvidia chip to run your game, it's badly made and it's bad lol, graphics don't need to be that advanced and if they are it's because the game is boring
>>498374073code tags only work on /g/just post a screenshot next timeare you sure that the node "world" has a script attached?make sure that the node from which you're calling get_parent() is not a child of a subnode of "world"
>>498374025thanks, I had a node group for world and that worked, but I'm puzzled about why looking for the tag works but the parent doesn't and I made sure debugging that I was targetting the right node.>>498374169I use both C and Python at work but more python than C, now I see (no pun intended) why it was a bad choice to pick gdscript instead of C.
>>498374213anon 2/3rds of the game market these days are just people who want to watch moviesbasically, dragon's lair won
>>498374261It'd be the same regardless of language. 95%+ of what you need to do is call engine functions.
>>498374169real lol, all code should just be c, c++, and c#, python sounds slow, electron is slow (source: discord user) no programming language will reinvent the wheelbut also idk much about gd script, is it possible to make a game using only that? it sounds like the type of language that would have a bunch of things that can't be done
>>498374348damn... the sega cd was really ahead of its time...
>>498374431At least for 2D I don't see many issues with it, maybe 3D devs have more insight on how bad it can be.
a generic fps but it has REALLY REALLY good graphics
>>498374589it's not about 2d vs 3d but the complexity of the code, trying to make anything more complex than a game jam game sounds like an exercise in frustration (if it's even possible at all)
>>498324554Here's mine
>>498374431>>498374589It literally doesn't matter. The number on thing you should optimize for as a developer is how fast you can develop something. Performance is secondary. Besides, GDScript is very fast at doing what you're supposed to do with it (call engine functions). There are over a thousand games on Steam made in Godot. Enginewar and languagewar posters are all nodevs. Stop giving them (You)s.
>>498374169bikeshed harder
>that never happens schizo take your meds>but if it did happen to you then you deserved it and it was a good thing
>>498374169have you tried going woke? I heard that game engines are woke now, it might help
>>498374431>>498374589>>498374781The entire Web was built on top of Javascript. So a language being "le bad" doesn't preclude large or complex software being built with it
>>498374781what are you talking about?
>>498374817Also here's the template, since I think having no maximum allotted points requirement is better replaced with just a competency level
>by opening this file, you agree to pay me $100 dollarsdamn, I love legally binding licenses
>>498375094Why the fuck is shaders its own category while "game design" or "vision" isn't? Game design if literally the number one most important thing, unless you're cloning/reskinning an existing game. Shaders appear arcane to retards, but if you already know programming very well, they take no time at all to learn.
>>498374169>if i had a time machine i'd use it to prevent python from ever existingYou're naïve. Bad developers will always find their way to invent and use a bad language.
>>498375324game design is childs play

deciding to first make a mod as a game prototype is paying dividents. in less than a week I'm already testing game mechanics in a fully 3D open world environment. I'm already changing the game's design based on things that feel off or are less fun than I thought they would be.
