What is your game's lore?

true fact: mobile games are just as complex as desktop games. in fact the only differences are the UI and the need to bake monetization into the gameplay.

>>498383284what's stopping you from just using a placeholder name such as "placeHolderA" for a variable and moving on? then later you can replace-all when you've thought of a name. I rename my variables all the time when I refactor.>>498384219no, it only means he still lacks understanding of the specific problem he's solving at the moment and thus doesn't have good words to describe it. that understanding will come as he solves the problem so he should just name the variables whenever things click.
I give up, I really do.

>>498384889exactly, mobile games are literally no different from something like the nintendo switch or ps vita
>>498386819God I hope notbecause if that happens eric will probably spiral and bottom out and sooner or later he'll start bitterly shitposting in these threads with a tripcode. We dont need that here.
>>498386951
>>498386548>open world>rpg that focuses on the characters>reasonable graphics and immersionof course people like it lol

its updated
>>498387349not much of a fan of block world / voxel type of games>>498387445i am but the issue is that i have people wanting to play it even had a playtest a bit ago but its never finished
>>498386351/lit/fag with a compsci degree and constant As with dissertations/essays here, I should go write a book instead tbvh
>>498387254an immersive game that's exploration based and has no music, and to make up for the writing, just add a bunch of things and don't explain them at all, that way the player imagines the explanation for them, and you don't have to write lore on in game books, which would be boring
>more and more things keep breaking with unity for my project>seemingly unfixable>have to revert to default window layout every time I open the projectI really need to finish this shit before it completely blows up
>>498387531I will one day, Eric, don't you worry.

>MATHAnyone here is a big brain math nerd? I'm stuck with Matrix, more exactly with *Inverse* Matrix.The problem is that for some graphic API, I need to send those Matrix in a 4x3 format (removing the values that are always 0 for a regular Translation/Rotation/Scaling) and none of the engine usual math libraries handle it.I managed to find on the net how to calculate the TRS matrix "manually", but searching for *Inverse* Matrix only return raw maths that are way beyond my brain capacity - and no actual game-ready-ish pseudo-code.I was hoping that just calculating a regular TRS matrix but with Translation/Rotation/Scaling inverted would do the trick and give the Inverse Matrix, but apparently not because I get fucked up results.
So what's the meta, should I have a separate Steam page for my demo or not? Any point to put one up if my demo is already out?

>>498388812Switching to Unreal would mean starting from scratch for the studio, but given their size, it's more practical and cost-effective in the long run. A rework involves removing legacy functions and could introduce spaghetti code due to interdependencies, while starting fresh avoids these issues by allowing features to be added incrementally. Both approaches have strengths and weaknesses, but either way, it would take years to see results from a new engine or incremental changes from a rework.The engine has been in use since Morrowind, and each new iteration has been more of an upgrade or partial rework, reaching its limit, as evidenced by Starfield's shortcomings. Unreal continually modernizes and removes legacy components, unlike Unity, which struggles with legacy issues despite promises to streamline. My experience with Unity highlights these challenges, whereas Unreal, despite some issues, remains user-friendly and consistent over time.I believe starting anew is necessary due to long-standing developers resisting change due to familiarity. This problem is prevalent in the industry, where superficial changes are made without addressing core issues. Although some argue it's expensive, the cost of not innovating is evident in Starfield's underperformance. Companies like CD Projekt Red have opted for Unreal, recognizing the limitations of their in-house engines. Ultimately, it's a tough decision, but they are a large company capable of making significant changes.
>>498388812>I need to send those Matrix in a 4x3 format (removing the values that are always 0 for a regular Translation/Rotation/Scaling)So what hinders you from manually "removing" these values?
>>498388727my slop will inspire him to quit his job to make games. and thus the cycle begins a new.
>>498388958shut up BOT
>>498389034Kill yourself unitard.
I want to make a game that Belle Delphine would cosplay as.
>>498388961... that's what I already do?The regular matrix is fine and has been working for age.But, now I'm doing some shader stuff and it need the inverse matrix.I don't know how to calculate and inverse matrix, and all I find on the net is either pure math that I have no idea how to translate into code, or "just use the engine's Matrix.inverse, lol" except those don't handle that compressed 4x3 format, only the normal 4x4.>>498388958What?
>>4983889387am wake up, yt shorts9am gaming for "a bit"5pm gaming break for youtube9pm actual devving

>>498388812The last values aren't always 0, just for the rotation/scale part, the 1 indicates that it's a translation, which is just the XYZ pasted in.Depending on your handedness (what the engine expects) you might have to transpose the matrix too, which is just flipping it across it's diagonal.Here's a function that calculates the inverse, you can check the determinant whether it's actually inversible (fabs(det) < EPSILON)https://pastebin.com/NDaBYTeq

>>498389180>"just use the engine's Matrix.inverse, lol" except those don't handle that compressed 4x3 format, only the normal 4x4.Well then restore the normal 4x4 first, before passing it to the function?

>>498390180back in the day I tried Unreal (4) and Unity (5 point something) and immediately hated Unreal because it's all laggy and unintuitive and has a weird UI. so I went with Unity and didn't start regretting that choice until ~2020 when Unity versions became unstable dog shit. since then I've been looking at other engines from time to time but always conclude that the grass is sadly not greener.most recently I tried godot 4.2 and it was okay-ish but I don't think it's production-ready for 3D games. it lacks too many features I take for granted in Unity and also I absolutely hate gdscript. C# support is an afterthought. do not touch. IF you use godot, you must use gdscript because that's the only thing the people who run the show care about. also you have to use Jolt physics because the default physics suck, and Jolt is basically undocumented. total jank. so yeah, I'm sticking with Unity for another couple years at this rate.
>>498390489disgusting

>>498390035One year before what happens?
>>498390180Unreal 5 has cutting-edge technology; all the big players are using it now, from Lumen's AAA lights to the incredible power of Nanite, which allows incredibly detailed meshes with very little performance impact. This is not just an engine; it’s an experience – a revolution in digital creation. Imagine crafting worlds where every pixel sings with realism, every shadow dances in perfect harmony, and every texture tells a story as vivid as reality itself. Lumen's dynamic global illumination transforms each scene into a masterpiece of light and shadow, bringing unparalleled depth and emotion to every frame.Nanite, on the other hand, is the magic wand we've all been waiting for – it redefines what's possible by enabling billions of polygons to flow seamlessly, creating environments so detailed you can almost feel the textures. With Nanite, the boundary between the virtual and the real blurs, unleashing a level of creativity previously constrained by hardware limitations. The ease of use, combined with the sheer power of Unreal Engine 5, makes it not just a tool but a portal to the future where your imagination is the only limit.That's why I chose it.

>>498391656>>498391908what are you noticing here? the lighting/volumetric fog?
How do I get good lighting in Godot 4? I haven't found any good tutorials. I have an open world outdoor scene with random generated terrain but the problem is that all the shadows and highlights are like the exact same value. So the soft kind of light shadows that are on the surface because of ambient light are also in caves that are supposed to be way darker. I have tried playing with the world settings related to light but I haven't been able to make it look good. What's the secret here? I've seen other Godot projects that have good lighting
>>498391795yes I will invest in their salaries when I employ them to make my games and make me even more rich and famous
just got back from camping and im super ready to tackle my game again!!! amazing what not looking at a computer screen for 2 days will do
why would i use godot over ue, and then ask about lighting on adgd?
>>498392008i respect the game designer who takes all the credit
>>498392018Because I hate unreal and unity. They are soulless engines

>>498392101that's not an unreal issue, that's the result of not working with constraints.also my friend is on the team that made (1 below the top left)
>>498392015nice, anime lady - where'd ya go?
>>498392150I said I have seen people with games and projects that already have it, jackal.
>>498392280learn how lighting works in general and other engines then apply it to godot while looking for similar techniques
Since fonts came up, is it possible to have soul/personality in a pixel art game font? I looked at World of Horror for example and it just looks very sterile. Same with Va11Halla but I always assumed that was intentional to fit the "cyberpunk dystopian" aesthetic but now I notice they're the exact same fonts.
Behold! Slop!(i usually never post progress, but ill use this as pressure to get something small done till demo day.. time to fix some bugs)
You can immediately tell this is an Unreal Engine game because it's cool
Would you advise me (a retard) to learn and use Vulkan over OpenGL?
Went broke cause I'm woke
>>498391968>[ambient light is the same everywhere]I don't use godot but what you're looking for will be some kind of GI solution like the voxel or SDF GI. I tried godot and didn't like these systems. the SDF one in particular has visible cascades, as in, you move around the world and see seams where the lighting goes from a higher to a lower LOD. it's bad. and the voxel stuff needs baking which wasn't an option for my project so I didn't look too deeply into that. I just remember seeing it having issues with reflections.tldr: look at the voxel GI solution first, but know it has some issues like everything else in godot.
>>498392420If you want more control over memory then go Vulkan.
>>498392270just local area was only half an hour away from me but some nice hiking spots and stuff like that. i made curry tonkatsu for everyone over the camp fire was my first experience trying to cook something like that over a fire but it came out really good
>>498392420Why would you do that? What is your goal?
>>498391958Every engine has its own implementation of a rendering equation which, thanks to humans recognising patterns, results in a certain 'look' for games made with the same engine using the same rendering equation.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_equation
>>498392381the real reason you can tell this one is from the 3d pixelart filter. no pixel artist is that good.
>>498392381sorry this metal slug?? remake looks exactly like psychonauts 2
>>498392597Make a game that is playable for a long time to come.I actually don't want the higher control and I don't care about the potentially better performance.
>>498392551>half an hour to reach hiking spots>meanwhile it takes me half an hour of driving to reach a park, 3 hours of driving to leave the city and probably 5-6 hours to reach a place where I can legally set up a camp I sure do love the hustle bustle of the big city.
>>498392420>>498392789No.t. speaking from experience
I doubt theres anyone here as much of a retarded failure as I am.
>>498392961Okey, ty anon. I'll just use OpenGL and if my game stops working on certain platforms that's the end user's responsibility not mine.I'll add Vulkan later only if forced to
does your game have an infinite replayability or not? do you believe higher replayability = more sales?
>>498392789Well they tell you that Vulkan is the future, but in terms of Lindy Effect it is likely enough that OpenGL will keep sticking around. The OpenGL API is also simple enough that people will keep implementing it on top of newer APIs (e.g. Vulkan).Just maybe make sure to use modern OpenGL (450+)
>>498391845correlation is not causation
>>498392903make a hiking/camping game that you enjoy and other city slickers will buy?
>>498393116It will have a map editor 100% guarantee.And probably extensive modding support.So yes to both questions.
>>498392381>>498392674https://metal-slug-attack.en.uptodown.com/androidi was right. i hope the others are being ironic
>>498392903oh was only a half hour away to the camp site i meant. the hiking spot is just local to it we drove like 2 minutes to get there, walked along the trail up and down the mountain
>>498393110Just like people are making wrappers to run DirectX/DX12 on Vulkan/Linux, there is and will be OpenGL wrappers too, besides it's the most portable (even the web), compatibility wise and documentation wise intuitive framework for graphics. If you use the latest version (4.6) you're not even missing out on a lot of what Vulkan offers. Debuggability wise it has greatly improved and you can use RenderDoc for that.
>>498392375well you better post more progress boyo or I wont play your DD demo

>>498393116Yes my games, 3D Dwarf Fortress and 3D Space Station 13 will have infinite replayability.I do think replayable games sell more, but I'm making these because I think they're fun, not because I see some trend.
YouTube Video Idea: Get a game done before Demo Day. Question is, what sort of game? A whacky fun rogue-lite beat em up? A heartpounding Horror Balatro-like with bomberman elements?
>>498394258a non rogueliteslop game
>>498393116No, it's not infinite. There are enough story branches for multiple playthroughs, but at some point, the player will run through all the options.
Roguelites are made by indie developers who can't write a good story or design good levels. Sick of roguelites.

>>498394625the teraleak on /vp/ is fucking things up.
Yes and no.Roguelikes are fun and the games that do them well are fantastic and very addicting. Especially when they incorporate other elements and mechanics into death instead of just "hah, you died, do everything else again".The problem, however, is that PLENTY of indie devs have found this to be an easy route to make a game with their own ideas. Incorporating gimmicks as a selling point to "stand out" from the rest. This has gone to the point where every fucking month or so there seems to be a new indie title with rogelike/lite mechanics that either get released or announced and it just oversaturates the indie scene so much. "What's that? A sidescroller/isometric platformer? Pixel art graphics? Roguelike? ~20 bucks? Fucking sold!!!"Especially when you consider the fact that not every indie dev company can pull this off. So not only do we have a market filled to the brim with roguelike/lite titles, but there's a high chance that the vast majority of them are ass with trashy mechanics, janky gameplay, deeply unsatisfying progression, bad level design, mediocre art direction and lack of content. This leaves only a select few to be note worthy.It's like when battle royales became popular. It was the new hit thing with an easy to recreate formula where the only thing devs realistically had to do was change things JUST ENOUGH so they can claim to be different from the rest.
>>498391712what if I told you that people will give you money for just existing as a woman? crazy right?
>>498395165so?
bug fixedwe're back, baby!godot and their fucking collision signalsremember, chat, you can connect signal as one-shotthat's all! back to work now.
>>498393116I feel like I have played it infinite times and I had fun some of the time. so...
>>498395165I am still making a rogue-like. I have to give my say on the matter. Rogue-like is one of the most fun genres. Actually gives tension and stake. Actual threat of losing things makes the victory sweeter. Save / load system is so boring.
Is this normal for next fest numbers? I expected higher...
Started working on fixing the baked lighting issues that have been plaguing me since forever ago.Also started working on my game again since forever ago.Also also decided to add a new color (red) to my texture palette, now up to a sizzling two (2) colors.Thanks for reading my plog.
>>498395251godot 5 will fix that
My game may look shit, but at least I'm making a game. Can your ancestors say the same?

Analytical anons, what does the list of aggydaggy released games and their success tell us about what sells and does not? What have we learnt?https://made-by-agdg.vercel.app/
>>498390774Even the visual aspect of it, the alignement of the pixels, seems artificial.Either I'm full schizo, or marketing whores are real demons. Surely both.
>>498396573marketing is the only thing that mattersif you don't have connections + an existing audience, don't bother releasing a game
Things I did over the weekend>improved enemy AI>Made a bunch of cool props>coded them to explodeGoing to probably improve the explosion visuals today, want to create a mechanic for glass and foliage where if the player runs into them that it causes it to shatter
>>498386351idk anything about shaders but thankfully i can usually get chatgpt to do what i want. for sfx i feel like 90% of it you can get away with just sound packs but i do like the soul from your own recorded sounds maybe one day ill buy an actually good microphone and play with some rocks outside to get good ones.

>>498396573make polished games, before 2020
>>498397064one of them was me... sorey...
>>498390180I chose Unity because C# which I already new and Unity seemed to have really good learning videos made by anons.Unreal felt too difficult for me to use at first and it does take a lot of resources to run well, it didn't feel as intuitive as Unity and lack of C# made it hard for me to just throw my own stuff together while learning. I do plan to revisit Unreal again though but after I've released this Unity game first.Signing up to Epic is a good idea though, they give out free games a lot and I keep an eye on Unreal engine and they do get some sweet free assets all the time too.I think I was filtered by Unreal as I didn't know as much about gamedev.
>>498396573My Games: WILL NEVER SELL!
realized that I gotta refactor and revamp a lot of my code. I have to basically add the ability for me to delete specific clusters of vertices and indices rather than just deleting everything everytime. It's becoming too taxing on performance to just call clear() everytime I want to delete one part of the mesh.
>>498396996>not mixing snake and camelvar target_targetPosition = target.targetPosition
Progress post. I just semi-virtualised my scrollview so I can have hundreds of items in the list instead of having to flick through pages like most anons do.I check which items are not in view of the viewport of my scrollview and I just deactive all the pictures/text/etc leaving just an empty box that keeps he scrollbar at the same size because deactivating the items completely caused the scrollbar to shrink. Now it just reactivates those elements when the item scrolls in to view.Pretty neat huh?
>>498396859You have good tastes in free assets.
>>498398050Yeah that is neat.The chunk window I made is virtual as well.
>>498396573I take from it that you in fact SHOULD price your game a bit higher. I had always heard that 6.99 and 7.99 were the best price points but I think 14.99 makes more sense now.
>>498398224like anons game?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2825130/Shadowed_The_Demon_Castle_of_Ooe
>>498398224> I had always heard that 6.99 and 7.99 were the best price points but I think 14.99 makes more sense now.Well yeah.Inflation got up +6000000% in the span of 5 years.
imagine if you had a team and you could work together to make a game together...
>>498398224Perhaps it gives a false sense of value to the buyer. It seems like people who buy the 1.99 games are maybe the same people buying the 6.99 games with similar review numbers.Perhaps some people see spending 10 dollars as not much worse than spending 1.99
>>498398396yeah, I intend to make a general call for others to work with me on 3D Dwarf Fortress and 3D Space Station 13 for rev share.A NEET alliance if you will. But I plan to make this call when I got more to show and when I'm on YouTube.
>>498398485huh... I thought we were forging a NEET alliance for a Star Trek-like co-op game?
>>498396859neat, add screen shake
>>498398198retard
>>498398583 Fellow Anon, could SS13 not be interpreted as Star Trek?
>>498398897I suppose, but I think the idea was that there were different missions, like the crew is going on away missions.
Is SS13 worth playing for research purposes? Is it safe to use and not get hacked or anything?
i wish i had the level mental illness required to easily convince myself to dedicate thousands of hours to what is essentially a virtual sand mandala that will leave me broke
can we make the co-op star trek-like in godot...
massive progress is happening, i discovered how to do single axis rotation on blender, the lack of rotation has been one of my biggest worries about using blender on android, as trying to use it normally results in an instant emulator crash, but the keyboard shortcut still works, and as long as the camera is orthogonal it moves in a single axis, the asset devving journey continues >.<
>>498397083Your only move is hustle, released on 2023, looks pretty simple. Has done really well.
I got a date tonight. It's going to be a trainwreck. I wish I had a wife so I could have some stability in my life. Imagine not having to scramble to meet and attract women, how much time that would leave for more gamedev.
>>498324554this is the only correct choice. programming gives you full control of gameplay, music is easily the most underrated skill for solo indie developers. and the rest its just good to have a solid understanding of 2d art, sfx and writing. if youre making 2d games your understanding of shaders rarely needs to be very high, unless you want to make specific kinds of games, but generally if you have high programming skills you can learn what you need for shaders on the fly
>>498399698you can have an e-wife instead, people are nicer on the internet
>>498399698Same here. I have given up on finding a soul mate, I just sleep with broken women I meet on Bumble.
>>498399698you would spend the time you spend dating doing couple activities instead, else your relationship would break apart eventually. Let alone children..... that's when all your free time ends. And the worst part.... you'll look back and think that every second that you spent for the little rascals was worth it.
>>498399828music is absolutely useless, it's not even a gamedev skill. first thing I do when I play most games is turn off music.
Is it a good idea to implement multiplayer?
>>498399081Yea there will be away missions. It's more than Space Station 13, I just use abbreviated titles for these games I talk about. There's much more to it.Ofc feel free to start on your idea of it, but I'll present what I have in mind later. If people like it, then people like it and will want to join. No pressure.
>>498399950as i said, its easily the most underrated skill for solo indie developers. you can look at games like undertale for an example of how to do it well, if you need examples and you cant use your imagination
sweet toby fox...https://x.com/tobyfox/status/782288073098919936
>>498399159SS13 is safe. You can also try SS14.>>498399328If you guys want to get started on it, by all means. I'm personally going to use my own engine for what I have in mind. Feel free to take the co-op Star Trek idea and run with it.
>>498400018that is some god tier (musical) survivorship bias.
>>498399950i'm lucky as a musician because it's the one skill i don't have to worry about, but i also have never programmed, not even a hello world or pong, i'm currently in the process of making 3d assets
>>498400192you will keep coming up with reasons for why its not a good skill to have, which will only further confirm my statement that its the most underrated skill to have. good music (which indie games RARELY EVER have) can easily increase the quality of a game by an order of magnitude by itself
>>498400018Music is fucking hard to make. Getting the hang of the basics like using power chords and stuff helps but it's really fiddly too.I use BandLab, it's free and online. What does everyone else use?
>>498400018undertale music is trash. it's the game that makes the music, not the other way around.
>>4984003156 hours a day? I presume you don't have a dayjob then? That's probably your biggest problem right there.

Today's art: Advent Deck of Kamen Rider Ouja
>>498400450in general an ost doesnt get millions of listens on youtube if a huge proportion of people arent normal people who never played the game but get recommended the song. i would bet more people played undertale after listening to the music than the other way around (people who played the game and then went to youtube to listen to the music)
>>498400847I don't have a game, I want to release one
The most underrated skill is writing, and a lot of anon rating themselves 3+ because they went to school is wild.
>>498400996wrong. 98% of people who listen to that trash first heard it while playing undertale.
>>498400697the best game devs are frail or fat.
>>498400996I heard undertale music first before I found the game. Never played it but listened to the songs. They care very catchy for what they are and the visual design of the character is quite cool.
>>498401092Mediocre writing isn't that hard but good writing is very hard. Fortunately the medium of video games don't expect writing beyond the level of children's novels.
>>498401215the first undertale song on youtube has 24m views, see picture. the game sold between 5 to 10 million copies total. just on this alone youre already wrong. and then if we take into account that probably a small percentage of everyone who played the game listened to it... see >>498401362 also. its possible you just dont understand music, dont have a good taste, thus you cant understand when a game has really good, average or bad music
>>498401247im frail but not a good game dev.. rip
>>498401247I used to be but then I got jacked (4 years 5x a week in the gym). all it got me is fat cashier girls became a bit chattier and that's it. I'll probably be giving up on the gym soon and bloatmaxx and use the time to speed up my gamedev.

>>498401471enjoy getting cancelled
>>498401629now you want to make the argument that most people who listened to it listened to each song 40+ times to make up the difference? thats just unlikely. its way more likely that people who didnt play it listened to it en masse because theyre good songs

>>498402347>learning what sounds nice to youLiterally "Be yourself" tier advice.
>>498402038yes, if they like the music they'll listen to it dozens or hundreds of times. but you keep honing your composing skills, I'm sure player will flock to your game as soon as they unmute your trailer.
>>498402481its literally the most correct advice for any kind of art. if you cant be guided by your own taste then youll always be lost making anything creative
>>498402078HUMAN MEN
>>498402540they will, i will make the most beautiful songs ever. your mind is small given you consider a trailer something extremely important
I've been intending to start deving 3 weeks ago and still haven't started. Why is the first step so hard?
>>498402702a trailer is not that important but where else would they hear your soundtrack if your game isn't insanely popular already?
The algorithm is working against me.
>>498402825what do you want to start? i got into gamedev around the same time and i'm currently in the asset making stage
>>498402825sit in silence and do nothing until you feel like you want to start working.
>>498402867are you stupid? how about when playing the game dumbass!!!!!!!
I have 3 games and the only offers of free work I got for them was to compose music. No one ever offered to make art or coding or writing.
Have you ever though about making a video game cabinet based on your game?
>>498402960I have been making sprites some sprites but never started actually doing anything in engine
>>498396573>Good Night, Knight only has 38 reviews after 3 yearsBRUTAL
>>498403230the topic is players wanting to play your game because of the music, pay attentionif they don't hear your music, why would they play the game? and if your game was appealing enough without players hearing the music, how important is music then?there's a reason game studios have many writers and artists but usually only one composer. it's unimportant. if the game is good, the music willcbe perceived as good. if the game is bad, no one will care about the music.
>>498403505abandoned EA game
>>498403645im done speaking with you, you have no imagination, no soul, you cant even conceive of the kinds of games possible when you pay attention to music as you do with art or programming. game studios are routinely wrong about many things, using them as an example only points to your small mindedness and lack of creativity. i pity you, you shouldnt be trying to work in a creative profession while being so conventional and bordered with your thinking
>>498402481Music and drawing/painting are literally be yourselfSame with writing but you have to understand grammar and punctuation/formatting
>it's another piece of shit threatens to hurt eric episodesad and pathetic. you're not welcome here. eric has always been good to us. you're a sorry pathetic excuse of a human being
>>498403837music is not even a gamedev skill any more than it's a filmmaking skill. if you want to be a musician just be a musician. games are about creating systems that are satisfying to interact with. pretty graphics help sell them, music doesn't even do that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnbBd-zoHPQ>guy is making a game called "Thronefall" for years>gets the idea for ancient ruins to decorate his levels, implying the "throne" has fallen and you're rebuilding the kingdomHow did he not immediately have this idea in the ideation or prototyping stage or once he named the game? How are ancient ruins not a default thing you would include in a fantasy level?As an ideaguy nodev, I'm jealous of these people who are all action and no thought. Seems to be more valuable.How do I just like make game instead of writing 10+ pages of design doc for every game idea I have? How do people start with no idea, a blank canvas, and just randomly create something without thinking much about it? I approach it from the exact opposite way and it hasn't worked for me so far.
>>498406293*meant to say he got the idea for the ruins late in development. To me it would have come immediately or before I even started coding it.
>>498402436like everything else AI it can be used as a tool to help process but will rarely be used to create the end result
>>498406293They didn't start with no idea. Look at their early videos on Thronefall. They went through a bunch of concepts, iirc some of them were even paper prototypes.
>>498406293>I'm jealous of these people who are all action and no thought.nah they mog on thought too, thoughtlets never take action.
>>498402429sounds like fun, you should make it. Maidcore soundtrack would be sick, too.
I want to make an Elden Ring-like
is it possible to do full time compsci and gamedev at the same time?

>>498406293Is this what devving in a 1st world country looks like? A nice house, clean, able to just work on your game. Fuck I'm jelly
>>498407919I suspect your sample size is in double digits in which case you can't make any conclusions.
>>498407302What I mean to say is when I have a game idea it always includes:>detailed idea of mechanics and how they'll interact and fit in the larger gameplay>setting>art style>rough idea of level layouts>possible lore, history and characters>ideas for soundtrack>etc.but when I see action-oriented devs make something they just have>vague idea about a mechanic or twoand they get way farther than the chronic planners.How do I stop myself from thinking too much about an idea and just start rapidly prototyping and letting it become what it will? I feel like I narrow the possibilities for my game before I even try making it and I can't stop myself.
>>498406293>writing 10+ pages of design doc for every game idea I haveThis is me. I've locked myself into ideaguy status, create some art, then lose steam and back to ideaguying. It's a vicious circle.
>>498407919tutorials are one of those ideas that devs think is good design, but players think it's total shit.>OH MY GOD JUST LET ME PLAY FFSit's stuff you'd learn in UX, wasting even a fraction of second of user's time between pavlovian feedback loops is enough to make them quit.

>>498407919>>498408970It’s because they playtest with retards who have no inherent interest in the game, ofc. if you’re not invested you have only the energy to go on exactly as long as you’re being told precisely what to do. (Similar phenomenon often with players on DD.)

>>498409246That being said it seems a number of people are living perma retard mode these days, e.g. >>498388456 refering to watching anime as something you can "procrastinate" on. Somebody who feels somehow pressured to enjoy games or anime is presumably thankful for a game being totally on rails, so they can be "through" with it faster.
>>498410089but what if i make a good game and no one gives a shit? it has happened many times.
>498409667The suggestion is not even that spineless, it’s not like people have no agency and you’re literally stealing them or something. If they indeed come playtest for you (I guess many won’t?), it’s because they feel a bit special for being asked; and it’s true, they are getting a special invite.
Track editing tools looking really good! You can drive effectively any way you like, and it will create a path you can just paste into Blender. Holding jump button creates a gap, letting go ends the gap. Tapping left bumper changes your fall direction when creating gaps, holding north face button levels the road out with the world orientation.

>>498410472i like the navball thing. very creative.
when making a game, you need to nail things down in this order1. mechanics. it's what your game is.2. art direction. it will help market your game like nothing else3. what it's supposed to run on, PC, consoles, handhelds, etc.4. scope. you need to know how much time you can devote to it and which things you'll have to cut5. lore and story. if applicable.and that's it. you can get cheap music from pond5 or free from incompetech. you can make a capsule in a couple of hours, the trailer in a couple of days. good luck!

>>498399698I watched a male vtuber stream filled with girls in the chat once, just for reference so I know what to put in my game to attract women. After the whole experience, if that's what women really are like I honestly don't feel like dating them anymore. It's one thing to see thirsty incels acting stupid and being cringe, but seeing girls do that really put me off the whole idea of sharing my life with a woman. If my future girlfriend acted like that past her teenage years then I'd rather not have a girlfriend at all.

/agdg/ I come hat in hand to finally post game. I would appreciate feedback if you've got the time or give-a-shits to try it out. I would rather not wait all month for a demo day but if I make any changes I will potentially submit to the halloween DD.

>>498416176There’s always 2 units belonging together (they are a tribe/coven), can’t really see which on the pic unfortunately. Besides the unit texts it would be nice to also have a small text for each tribe. Everything doesn’t have to fit together, the overall story of the game is probably that different planets get connected through random dimensional shifts, so the tribes can be from totally different settings, but they can also have relations.You can find the game on itch and there’s discord and telegram links in it, to contact me. But if you just throw some random unit descriptions ITT I’m also happy.

>>498406293>How do people start with no idea, a blank canvas, and just randomly create something without thinking much about it?I don't think that's possible unless you're making a game-clone or something that does not have complicated systems that interact.I used to dev like this, just doing shit without a plan thinking I can just wing it, but I never finished anything. Eventually I lose steam when I realize not planning shit ahead of time results in dog shit systems that don't scale. This is when I project hop.>How do I just like make game instead of writing 10+ pages of design doc for every game idea I have?Is this a design doc that describes how everything works or just lore and stuff? Because I'm starting to think not planning enough is the reason I keep giving up.
I might just step back to DX11 instead of DX12... DX12 just has so many weird edge cases that are practically impossible to test for unless you own dozens of test rigs with different hardware configurations...
>>498418857anon, what are you doing? you only need to make sure it works in different aspect ratios and that your shit is scaled according to either the height or width. you don't need to specifically test 1440p. it's a 16:9 resolution so if your game can scale UP and DOWN correctly it can do 1440p just fine out of the box.please don't have a "list" for individual resolutions to test. you need to have a general idea of what your game should do at any arbitrary resolution and aspect ratio.

We simply need someone that actually read books, to craft fantasy versions of fascism, liberal democrats and commies.Pretty sure Roman empire could be easily reimagined as Modern Fascists, since their symbology is similar and roman empire was something nazis admired.Maybe add a sparkle of Spartans.Liberal democrats could be easily done with greeks and athens city states.Add a bit of revolutionary french and americans, and you get them.Commies are a bit more dificult to track down without making it super obvious.Pretty sure it has to be inspired by some asian or african empire.
>what if rome and greece but it's fantasy?!
>>498419157I suppose. I steal a lot of shit from dark souls. the fire hand thing you see in the beginning is essentially the pyromancy flame from dark souls and I have it set to cast basic fireballs for now. planning to add more spells later.as for the crabclaw scythe (that's what I'm calling it for now), I remember in dark souls 3 there's these giant crabs that can pick you up and throw you around so I'm adding that but instead I pick up enemies and throw them at other enemies for damage and knockback. yesterday I showed a scythe I can throw that spins, deals damage and returns to my hand. yoinked that from darksiders 2 aswell...I think at this point any game mechanic anyone can think of is very likely to have been done already by someone else even if you don't intend to copy it.

Which was a pretty conservative percentage, relative to what people usually do for Daily Deals. Also, I decided on the 15$ price so that there would be room for sales while still being profitable without selling a million copies.

>>498419349Last generation graphics APIs are nice since you can just assume everyone has the full feature set at this point, whereas with something like DirectX 12 you either have to use the most basic feature set or query for everything and make your code pointlessly complex.

>>498420665i was gamedevving during lectures and skimming notes with thomas brush talking in the back
>>498420991The main point of DX12 is to remove CPU bottlenecks and keep the GPU fully saturated with work. So basically you're going to see massive performance losses or gains depending on your GPU.
>>498420991apparently it makes frame-pacing worse so yeah, it less "smooth". but I was just referring to conventional fps. in any game that offers DX12 and DX11 the latter will run faster by any metric. I have yet to see one game where DX12 runs better and that isn't a meme tech demo like ashes of the benchmark. and in games that offer DX12 and Vulkan the latter is faster. so DX12 is just always the inferior option - again with the exception of meme tech demo shit.

>>498420020>that never made any game run better. My game run literally 20% faster with it in scene with high polycount - but only if I use a very specific way of uploading data to the GPU. With the default uploading there is no difference between 11 and 12.
>>498423931Octahedral impostors are useful for the lowest LOD. Most game engines have a tool to bake those from a mesh.
>>498414384guy on top left has his wifes support even though they have kids btw
>>498424191>polycount matteringprobably just draw calls, not the actual polycount. are your materials optimized? do you use GPU instancing whenever you can? do you combine meshes at all?the supposed optimizations of DX12 sound to me like the supposed optimization of Nanite. it will increase performance IF you didn't do any optimization whatsoever.

"NODEVS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this thread before. There could be NODEVS anywhere." The plastic keys felt good against his bare fingertips. "I HATE NODEVS" he thought.

Well they *are*, but since I'm doing vertex animation they are still expensive to display.>do you use GPU instancing whenever you can? I use instancing pretty much exclusively. The only regular meshrenderer here are the terrain and skybox, everything else is drawn with large batch rendering orders.>do you combine meshes at all?Each soldier here has 3 meshes: body, hair, weapon. Sometime two more if they wear glasses and/or have an accessory (for now, only a flower).I could probably combine the body/hair/weapon, but then that would make many more smaller batches instead of a few super-large ones, pretty sure it would decrease performances.

why is no one making a Sonic Adventure 2 - like?
>>498427763which flop did you shit out?
>>498428193NTA but not really. Modern liberalism emerged from English common law. That does have some Greco-Roman influences since the main way to get an education for a thousand years in the west was to learn Latin. Then when you learn Latin you would read the great Roman orators like Cicero, who was also responsible for translating a lot of Greek philosophy.But no Plato's Republic is a retarded political fan fiction and you probably haven't read it if you think our current political structures resemble it, since we don't have philosopher kings. The only philosopher king to exist was Marcus Aurelius and he was a beta getting cucked by a gladiator while coping and seething about it. The foundation of our current political paradigm is English liberalism codified by the likes of Hobbes and Locke, and unfortunately also French liberalism with idiots such as Rousseau. If you ever wonder why the leftoids always side with criminals like George Floyd and seem to think that they're victims of society rather than being responsible for their own actions, they're following his philosophy. Truly the French always were a blight on the Earth and I should make a game about eradicating them.

>>498429975Did you forget I mention was making fictional ideologies?My thing isn't less copypasting real life shit, and more like making diferent political systems.I do feel I need to read a bunch of books on political systems to craft at least 10 political ideologies for my lore of waifus.

>>498431314The English had just lost the colonies in the American revolution and feared their own monarchy would be next, so no I don't think the English were friends of revolutionary France.Also it's worth noting that in the 1500s, long before the revolution, the French once tried to prosecute rats in court for eating crops. The rat lawyer (a human albeit french) said that the rats couldn't come to court to face trial due to there being too many cats thus making them fear for their lives. The rats were acquitted. So the French were already retarded and insane and so their retarded and insane philosophies can't entirely be laid at the feet of the eternal Anglo.

>>498432425Relax fygoon
>>498422648stop trying to make this a thing
>>498408235You gotta realize that good games are made through a lot of iteration. The ideas you have aren't as good as you think they are because they're all in your head. You gotta prototype and pivot during development depending on where the game is going.

gee i wonder why all the yesdevs left for discord we're talking about steamfest rn btw
>>498433534I'd rather the thread in it's current state than to use in discord.
>>498433479there is no such thing as imposter syndrome, you literally are just incompetent at your job and were hired to fill a dei quota
>>498427763I'm glad you made it. I'm sure your next game will be better and do better. Make another game and post it here.
>>498433479Imposter syndrome has to be one of the biggest jokes I've ever heard of. >Y-you're saying I might not ackshually be good at what I do?!>I j-just can't accept that!Like dude, you can either do it or not. There is no in-between. Confidence is nothing but a relic of nature's past.

>>498433779Impostor syndrome is what retards feel when they look around their late stage bureaucracy organization. You and all your coworkers are completely incompetent, and so you gaslight yourself into thinking that maybe you're all not retarded, because, "there's no way we can all retarded, right?"

Is CosmicCunt doing anything besides making shorts and jerking off?I think he grinded 3d for a bit.
>>498438005>if you're in a position that doesn't have to deal with the publicpretty sure they require all employees to be able to work whatever needs to be filled at any given moment, they don't hire exclusive fry technicians

Just had a new microscope idea. It should only take a day to make.
>>498437756depends on if you'll use the system in other games. Time doesn't matter *nearly* as much as return on investment, opportunity cost, and time-value.

Removed atomic counters completely.I had to because I have to implement chunk specific deletions and the atomic counters were not abiding by the voxel regions in the scalar field SSBO.Now everything is seamlessly aligned.Praise be to the King Jesus Christ.

>>498440546reminds me of something my parents wouldn't buy me because i was poor but i would watch people play at walmart on the demo screens
Atomic counters have been a nagging thing in the back of my head this whole time. They're disgustingly inefficient and I was using them just to get this thing working. But, I couldn't continue with them. I had to get rid of them or else I could not proceed. The inefficiency would only compound.
Minus the gaylord who just threatened to kill himself this thread was pretty good today. Must be because it's a weekday. Good job lads.

>>498436053it's not literal fun but like if the game is good and like the example of individual parts in that twitter post wasn't a good thing for the game so he took it out and then he had to take another thing out as it no longer made sense with the first thing being removedit's just easier to say fun in most cases

>>498437162When someone says make a game YOU want to play, it means something that you not only enjoy playing but also something that you personally would see on the steam store if it wasn't your game and go "Hey, that looks fun."Find your audience, market accordingly.There's the slim possibility that you actually have a mental defect and enjoy something that no other human on the planet does, in which case you should definitely give up and kys
