>>498511029I want Game Freaks data leak level lore for my game... can you do it?
>>498511169This is excellent advice but it does mean getting a really high quality vertical slice which in itself will be failry time consuming.But once you put that minimum viable product out there you should really pay attention to feedback, and whether anyone that played the demo seemed genuinely excited about it.I've only put out a couple demos before. When I do my next big one I'm only going to iterate a couple times based on feedback and if there's still no one biting, move on to another idea.That's unless, by that stage, I think I can shit out the final product in under a year with it still being worth 10-20USD.

How would you guys recommend making a skill tree for classes in an RPG? Even though it takes longer, would it be easier to just create a separate tree prefab for each class? I think it's easier to make it look nice that way instead of spawning the nodes programmatically.
>7 years making a vertical slice
Is this normal for next fest? I thought people said they normnally get like hundreds?
>>498513393post capsule
>>498513393i-its not over y-yet!
>>498512960Depending on the game, a good vertical slice could be 90%+ of the finished game. e.g. roguelikes

>>498513393lol only if its good, nerd
>>498513514Faggot
>>498512960I noted as much. And I completely agree. The more time you put into a great minimum viable product, the more time you'll save down the road if no one is interested despite your best efforts.

>>498513502Which is why you don't make oversaturated meme genres that are immensely code heavy with pixelshit draped over it in the final 12 months of development.This is a skill in itself, choosing a balanced project from a genre that lends itself to your goal.
How come everyone who made it here was part of the discord?
>>498513581MVP != Vertical slice. MVP = the entire game, including all planned content, minus polish. Vertical slice = just a small portion of the game content, ideally a very interesting slice, like the intro or the climax, but with all polish included.
>>498513821because everyone who has a game quickly realizes this thread is just a crab shitfest and theyll get real honest feedback on the discord?
>>498513870This is uber retarded.MVP = Minimum content for the game to feel like a game

>>498513732Smashed it. Your prize is, describe an enemy and I'll draw it. Or not. Depends what it is.
>>498513815That is unfair, back in time you could count of the community to fill the gaps, minecraft literally wouldn't have half of its mechanics without the community mods notch took made official
>>498513870They are definitely synonyms, dick head. MVP means a grab bag of the games essence reduced down as much as is possible for the sake of testing, elevator pitches and demos.
>>498514078No it isn't, if you can't sell your MVP then it isn't an MVP.
>>498513815>oversaturated>meanwhile a $1m+ indie roguelike success comes out every few weeksStop spending so much time on /v/, retard. It's easily still one of the best steam tags for indies to be in. By the way, what was the highest grossing /agdg/ game of 2024?
>>498514078They're REALLY not. You can have vertical slices, horizontal slices, blockouts, but your MVP is specifically a PRODUCT. It's the minimum you need to make to have a VIABLE PRODUCT.
>>498514078>They are definitely synonyms, dick head. MVP means a grab bag of the games essence reduced down as much as is possible for the sake of testing, elevator pitches and demos.
>>498514130You could sell it, just not for as much as the whole game.

is the average project here better or worse than marmo?
>>498514275viable means it’s actually usable in some way, it performs a minimum valuable functionif you have 100 features but they’re all bugged beyond usability, it’s not viableif you have 1 feature and it’s "fun" and reliably working, you got an mvp

>>498514345If Stride is so good then where are the games for it?
>>498514429In terms of absolute quality? Much worse.In terms of quality per hour spent? Much better.
>>498514429well it’s a working game so it beats all the nodevs already

>>498514429much worseI'm the exception, of course
>>498514429Much worse.Marmo is actually a good game. The gameplay is fluid and polished. With better art it could have been a big hit.
>>498514560looks bad
>>498514198Being viable doesn't mean you should or even could sell it. If they're not the same it's because a vertical slice is actually more refined, but even that isn't worth selling. You just could if you really wanted to try.

>>498514668Godot never called itself a game engine though.
>>498514474MVP means you can put it on market and people will buy it, i.e. as an early access release. It needs to be VIABLE PRODUCT. You're thinking of a prototype. Words have meaning.https://www.atlassian.com/agile/product-management/minimum-viable-product
>>498514743There is a reason atlassian lost to github.
>>498514426>I wouldn't support something that is going underyou don't need to support it, you can still make a game on it

>>498514668Godot at least has multiple games with 5K+ positive reviews. Stride has been out for about the same time as Godot and only has one (1) game that breaks that 1K review mark.

>>498514429worse by quite a big margin. Marmoreal's problem was the artists he hired dropped the ball on the art. "good" highschool tier artists. not really pro.
>>498514627i do. i wish i didn't, since i stopped posting often because of it
>>498514743That's for software development, not game development. Art is vital to game dev 90% of the time or more. In an MVP you're not gonna have something visually polished to release standard. That's not what MVP means in game development.

>>498515023That's what it means in any world, and there are plenty of successful games that have done a full visual updates after spending a long time in early access. If need be, it means shipping a game with shitty placeholder graphics if the gameplay is fun enough. See Factorio or Necesse.

>>498516651https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity_and_mental_health
Making a little tool for generating unity-like physics layer filters, but it generates C++ classes for PhysX. Mine distinguishes between collisions and raycasts. Some entities should be able to raycast each other (see each other, shoot each other) but not collide with each other. I'm thinking of adding a third category, since "seeing" raycast checks are different from "shooting" raycast checks (i.e: an enemy should be able to see the player through another enemy, but shouldn't be able to shoot through the enemy. This way they're not blind if there's an enemy in the way, but they can still aggro each other, like in doom

What agdg needs to understand is that assets or AI are worse options to developing an unique style that is diferent to most art styles by indies and AAA.
I'm so fucking proud of my game
>>498517426I'll just stick with AI. Why pay someone that much money when I can get it for free?
>>498514820You've been working on this for 3 years

40 to 60 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 350 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 50 games a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2024HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY

>>498517604Yeah. The first prototypes played like shit, looked like shit and were also rpgmakerslop so I took a break and started a year later from the ground up.
>>498518170fresh blood in the breadbleh
>>498518440Strange request, but okay.
>>498518334It’s not a question of "can’t" - it’s a matter of management / cost analysis. Consultants will ask: >how much does your own engine cost you? (7-8 figures yearly)>how much better is it than what you can buy? ("it’s not better, if anything it has less features")>also it’s "so easy" to hire people that already know UEAnd there you go, decision made to use UE. "People" doing this kind of analysis can never account for sovl. A few years down the line there will be big hits heralded by "they made what no one was even doing anymore, they wrote their own engine" and consultants will be like, wow, nobody was able to see this coming, A NEW TREND.
>>498518334theyre doing this so its easier to hire pajeet codeslaves
>>498518334I mean UE5 is insane, probably gonna go down as the best game engine ever made
>come up with cool design for a demonic enemy>realize people may interpret it as a racist caricaturewhat do i do?
>>498518812The funny thing is that meanwhile FAANG have long realized that there is inherent value in building in-house solutions, just via creating work for talented people, keeping them around. And the potential to be sometimes ahead of the competition. Google has an in-house version of every popular/useful tool that also exists in open source. It’s not forks, it’s just their own project doing a similar thing. They don’t do this kind of stupid analysis. (Yet. They will soon enough, when their stonks tank. And then they will go under.)

>>498517805Guys Im a yesdev please answer
>>498519103You can be as wasteful as you want when you have unlimited jewmoney.
>>498517030in Unity if you raycast you determine which layers to raycast AT. there is no concept of a source layer of a raycast in unity. a raycast doesn't have a layer, it only knows a layermask of possible targets. I don't see the benefit to your system because it seems like added baggage. maybe there is a case where you would want a "source layer" for a set of raycasts (I cannot think of one). but you certainly don't need that for a typical raycast.in your example, would the "enemy" pass on its own layer to the raycast method? so then any time this "enemy" does any kind of raycast it will always target the same layers? see, this isn't practical at all. you're going to need one layermask for when the enemy shoots one of its weapons and a completely different layermask for when it tests whether it's standing on solid ground. or just different weapons could already need different layermasks.
>>498519113Like pseudoregalia?
>>498519478Disable the StaticBody2D, not the CollisionShape2D.
>>498518334Epic Games can't support it's in-house engine?
>>498517805>>498519478Dunno what you're troubleshooting specifically but if you disable it in the middle of a process run and check in the same cycle it will still check to collided because it doesn't reset until the next cycle.
>>498519478Are you sure you're disabling it correctly?Are there other collisions on the parent node? I donno man post more information you might be a Yesdev but that's no excuse to be a scum of the Earth vagueposter.

wife brought me chicken wings and pizza, im gonna dev like crazy today fr
over the last 3 years ive grown accustomed to a way of coding my games that is so bad and specific, that anybody i show it to gets confused.. i dont even understand it at certain points, and it doesnt even help me tremendously.. fml i think its over. im wondering if learning a new programming language and forcing myself to not use oo will actually do the trick
how do I improve my UVs?
>>498522831Sounds like a great day.One day my thougheverbeit will bring me food.
>>498518462Goated take
>>498522831If you have a wife or a girlfriend you are not a real dev.
>>498518834Not true, 99% of the gamedev workforce in big studies is white women.
should I move from godot to unreal? I decided to stop working on my 2d game and work on a 3d game instead
>>498522324If you're gonna use LMMS prepare for a lot of bugs because it hasn't been updated in YEARS (the last stable update was 4 years ago). The alpha and nightly version fixes some things but those are risky. You can definitely make some good songs in it once you get the hang of it, but if you don't want to take the dive then buy (or steal) FL Studio or Ableton.

Gamers don't even know what game engines do. They think when a game that had all its assets outsourced to indian studios runs bad its the engine's fault. Tons of Unreal games look and run great with no stutter, its only AAA studios with heavy outsourcing that have issues.
>>498519103Another irony is that Timmy surely had people telling him he should just buy id Tech, back in the 90’s (like so many did), yet he insisted on making his own…

>>498515160oh shit I played that gameone of the first games I bought on steam, was excited after seeing some playthroughs on youtube about it.I can see why it's not well liked, I got annoyed with is performamce in fleet battles and the galactic news narrator segments get annoying. And stellaris sets a high standard now. Also the devs abandoned the game and put a big permenant add on the mainenu for their new games which SUCKSstill a little nostalgic though

perfect.
Friggin shoot em up beat em up! Get the high score! 10 ACTION-PACKED Levels! 5 Different weapons! Built on Unity with the Toon Shader!meanwhile the Dev plays Fallout New Vegas and Counter Strike most of the time.

>>498531052good thing they're called video games and not video arts
>>498530974NTA, but gamedev gets lonely. It's good to check in here and just interact with fellow game devs at times. For months you guys have been my only source of contact with other people outside of my immediate family.

>>498531521when a game could plausibly be a plethora of other games and it has no distinct art style, that is not good. The game in the picture you're showing could be Call of Duty or Gears of War or Red Dead Redemption

Content algorithms kill passion projects. How many big youtubers are still making passion projects? A few but they don't rely on youtube for income while the overwhelming majority who do are making slop. The youtube algorithm doesn't reward passion it rewards what google considers to be engaging which is slop that children click on. The steam algorithm is the same and you're coping if you think otherwise. Just like with youtube the only people who can afford to make passion projects are the wealthy and connected.
>>498531219I care about your life situation. Don't go to discord
>>498532054Cope.
>>498531748Yeah I hate when I'm playing a video game and I try to call in an airstrike because I forgot I'm not playing Call of Duty. Completely immersion breaking. And I was watching a movie the other day and I spontaneously started to cry because the set reminded me of a different movie
>>498532216I'm not going to discord, it is the epitome of rumination and hierarchy without investment.

>>498532756q-tip arms
>>498532879this matter is a matter of persuasion.Someone basically has to WOW everyone with such a concept ( and also actual progress toward it. Anyone can make ideas. ) that people want to join them.
Nice little progress, I need to find a good spaceship reactor sfx now.
>>498532879Hi.
>>498531748someone post the art imitating reality pic
>>498532995i dont know... to lessen the load of gamedev, to share in the fun, the spoils... to support each other. to create a better game then either of us could have alone.like a group in their manga...
>>498533179
>>498532764This image gives me the itch to go replay the spyro games, I never ended up 100% completing them on the remasters maybe I should do that uh as part of research for my game obviously!

Is there a blender addon that automatically makes high quality weight paint?
>release my indie game>it's a huge success (130 people boughted it, (12% refundinged it))>no job offers from indie developer studios yet
>>498532054Content algorithms are fundamentally different beasts for Steam vs Youtube. On Youtube it's enough to click on a video because of a catchy thumbnail, aka "tricking" the consumer for engagement. On Steam that doesn't do anything, you have to actually buy the game and play it for it to take effect, and if you don't like it you can even refund it or leave a negative review, which you can't with youtube videos. If I have nearly the exact same games as you do in my Steam Library and I play a lot of Dark Souls then it makes sense for the algorithm to recommend you Dark Souls.
>>498533773nice, it's already as good as godot's ragdolls
>>498533063Wow this is finally starting to look like a video game and not just schizo nonsense.
>>498533919If you're using Unreal you can do that with Timmy's new Skeletal Mesh Editor plugin
that was rough. I caused such an error that my Vulkan Engine was not able to create a swapchain. Had to reboot my entire system.
>>498533246I intend to look for some partners in gamedev here once I got more to show.
>"dang, capturing the exact same footage for both the english trailer and other languages trailer when it contains UI text is damn difficult">"I wonder if other games have them perfectly synched or if there's slight differences">check out english vs other languages of some other games>not only is the trailer different but they couldn't even be arsed to put the same screenshots in the store page, they're almost entirely different Perfectionism really is a negative for game development huh.
>>498535748They're not supposed to be the same between languages. It's actually a bad thing for them to be the same.

How do I from a weight painted model to a working model in UE? Should I make stock animations (walking) and then export it to UE?
>>498535892Wait why?

>>498536242because japanese audience want different things than an american audience >>498536270oh okay
>>498536242im overstating it. just depending on the language you might want to focus more on different things in the marketing cause thats what the language speakers like more.
I'm new to writing, how do I achieve this?
>>498536242You must be a monolingual retard. Even though you can translate something from one language to another, it isn't necessarily the same. Your screenshots and trailer should be make taking special consideration of the language it's presented in.
>>498535748not reading that, sorry that happened
>>498536774>Even though you can translate something from one language to another, it isn't necessarily the same.What the hell are you smoking dude.

>>498536761you need to have grown up with a good father figure. sorry.
>>498536142You can create your animations in engine using sequencer. No need for external software like a dirty peasant uses.

>>498514889It's a matter of marketing honestly. There's various capable engines aside from the 3 that always get talked about.
>>498515279this is why I won't sell my game in chinkland
>>498518812This is also why big budget games keep getting worse. They keep replacing old talent with noobs or turdies who only know Unreal. Many of those are already at the point where they only sell because of marketing. They wouldn't sell at all if they weren't shilled so heavily. The normie is weak against shilling.

>>498542629Bruh imagine saying anything in a situation like that. If anyone asked me publicly I would say that the situation is too complex and that it's most important to focus on helping those hurt by the conflict and trying to get a peace settlement.
>>498531052Photoreal does have a place for certain types of games but those games aren't really trying to be artistic games. Like the ARMA series or basically any other real world setting shooter.As we get closer and closer to "omg it looks real" there's gonna be some games that go all into that like that one upcoming FPS that I forget the name of but once we reach that point photorealism is going to slowly fade out and become a niche thing because it won't be interesting anymore.

>>498524713Unreal's popularity is a disaster for the average game's performance. People used to make fun of Unity games running poorly when it's only a couple that had the issue and it was always the developer's fault. Meanwhile all Unreal games run poorly.
>>498543382>Meanwhile all Unreal games run poorly.
>>498542876Wtf is complex about it, everyone just wants their own homeland and a bunch of jews and muzzies are fighting over the same stretch of land. Why don't they just split that area 50/50 and be done with it? Then again Jews as a people generally seem to think other people shouldn't have their own homelands so maybe they don't deserve to have one either (Yes Euros need to go back that is true alright).
>peepee engine? haha, no thanks, I use poopoo engine
>>498541086over half of all Steam games don't even make back the $100 feeI don't remember the exact figure, but it's searchable

>>498541361first of all, deltaTime has no business in a movement speed calculation. you're using a Rigidbody which means your code belongs in FixedUpdate and since that's on a constant delta there is no reason to ever put the delta in your calculation of a force or whatever.secondly, your method would work but for optimally smooth motion it would be better to use Rigidbody2D.AddForce(). the way you're doing it results in a almost the same behavior but AddForce will apply the force smoothly over a whole tick instead of instantaneously.>player.rb.AddForce(moveSpeed * dir)note: AddForce takes rb.mass into account so to get the same speed you will have to multiply the mass into your moveSpeed, so technically I'm proposing:>player.rb.AddForce((moveSpeed * player.rb.mass) * dir)unfortunately the 2D physics don't offer a ForceMode.Acceleration like 3D physics in Unity. strange. good thing I looked it up before trying to give you advice.sidenote: when you actually want an instant velocity change, like for an arcadey jump, your method is fine.

>>498545818you aren't tho
How much of UE can be done in just C++? Or are blueprints basically required to use it?
i will never be able to make a game that would reignite the love 10 year old me felt for video games
>>498545332This is how I imagine the local agp coomers
>>498545930100% c++, I barely open the engine, mostly once a day to test the code
>>498544884I think every platformer should simulate real world physics first and then bend the rules to make it fun, not the other way around. this is a pretty level-headed, normal view so I don't see where you're coming from at all. why do you irrationally hate rigidbody physics? what's so much better about doing something else?>>498544861>my pixelshit needs a GPU made after 2015 because it just does, okay?!nope, not okay. learn to code.

>>498546101actually I'm saying your shit needs to stay over 240 fps on my RTX card and if it can't churn out 60 fps on a GTX 1060 then I know you didn't fucking optimize it. just fucking learn to code. your game is NOT high end. your game does NOT LOOK high end. your game does not do anything that should give trouble to any PC built in the last decade. enjoy your negative reviews and crying about them on twitter and complaining that "marketing is hard" when half the buyers refund your shit.
>>498543458They run poorly in comparison to what they look like. They might run better if you have a good PC but a game of similar graphical fidelity using a proper engine runs at double the frames or more on that same PC.

But why should I play your game instead of reving up the game you're ripping-off in an emulator?
Ok I just dreamt about a great game idea, would it work?>you played as an unusually tall woman whose the groundskeeper of a local "haunted" forest>your job is to trim the trees and shit, notify unusual things happening in the forest and most importantly(that's the fun part) dress up as a murder monster to scare off the retarded teens who trespass to test their courage who in turn damages the property(because telling them to fuck off normally doesn't work)>gameplay loop is basically fixing shit, chasing off the kids and fixing the shit they caused>difficulty increases as the forest slowly became more and more famous (a large part due to you ironically)>hunters would start trying to hunt you down and you will have to take off your mask to tell them to leave the property as a human while chasing off the kids as a monsterHow is this idea?Is it good?Planning to make a subplot where a /hmofa/ connoisseur came and mistaken you as a wendigo and you have to pretend to be one and charm him because he's hella handsome
>>498546039>I think every platformer should simulate real world physicslike all genre defining classics like... uhh... umm... hmm... uhh....
>>498545887btw , if you're a 3D artist and manage something like this style I mentioned, and you are willing to work revshare with an enginedev, that's recipe for a long term partnership. I love this style.

>>498546851I didn't make that post but I do play CS2 and I wholeheartedly agree. CS2 is awfully unoptimized and performance keeps getting worse with each update. for the record, the issue in CS2 is CPU-sided. it mishandles memory, constant cache misses. this is the CONSENSUS in the CS2 community so I doubt anon got banned from CS2 community forums for having this mainstream complaint. but who knows, maybe they managed to turn the Steam forums into a cult. wouldn't surprise me. there are some really delusional people around Valve and anything Half Life / CS. the same idiots who keep buying skins.

nextfest is something alright
>>498547330please don't compare Unreal, Unity, or Godot to being as much of a dead on simple solution as a hammer. And sometimes I even have heard 'wheel'. Lol.It's not that simple. You can only make a hammer so many ways, but an engine can be tailored specifically to your game's use case.
>>498547416well your looking at a year of hard work for me

Mega noob question, but how do I learn to make fun maps in 3D?I tried making a quake map in trenchbroom and just the process of lining up the polygons, lighting, and making a fair but challenging platforming challenge is so much work. Even an area the player would spend 5 seconds running through, is hours of work just mapping. Meanwhile making maps for my 2D game it's super quick to add content.Does 3D mapping ever just "click"?
>>498550052Use Hammer, it's better
>>498550052you gotta find a balance between things looking good and quantity of contentlook at how doom levels were designed, theres enough onlinealso halo level design is pretty interestingjust find a game thats similar to yours and look at what they did right
i just had an absolutely i n s a n e l y good (and original) idea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7naIKclU1A4this is your competitioncan you make a game of this quality in a month?
>>498544218It's still good for really simple games, but you can't ignore the issues it has for more complex shit and Juan is keeping it shit on purpose/ it's quality is actively dropping with each new rushed half baked release.I can't even use any versions after 4.2 because they give me BSOD immediately. I hadn't had a BSOD in literal years until I used godot 4.3.

I want a building system that uses the same socket-based triangle & square approach as Rust (the game not the language), but I have a feeling that everything built with such a system will end up just looking like a Rust base.
What's the best place to look for a dev to hire for my mess of a codebase!Jokes aside I'm looking for someone competent in networking, mirror, unity etc that can help with a single feature I've been spending weeks on, but I'm not sure where to go? The mirror discord has a dev channel but there are not that many posts and many are old. Is there like a well known place somewhere for this type of stuff? Or should I actually be worried about devs for hire stuff? Is it a scam? I'm scared bros

what if we just lock all the NEETs in a room with no computer or internet and tell them they can't leave until they make a video game
>>498552685Look! Another gay fucking post!
>>498552062Magic Survival and Infiminer were never going to be big successes in any fucking universe. If you look at those comparisons the reasons why one did well and the other didn't should be immediately obvious.Notch took the idea of voxel mining and turned it into infinitely replayable building, mining and adventuring game.VSdev took the Magic Survival format and made it fun, addictive and suitable for the modern dopamine hungry meta for zoomies.Good ideas are only as good as their execution. You could have the best fucking idea but if your game sucks it's not gonna do well. If you release a game like that it is very likely someone will see it and make their own version of it that eclipses yours.

>>498555184It might use lessons from mobilegambling but I don't agree that it's a mobile genre. You'd be right if you think that the simple controls make it suited for mobile but that's where it ends. The actual design benefits greatly from a big screen full of enemies. The meta progression stuff is just standard roguelite shit.I think you're right in that taking some game concepts from mobile and making proper games from them on PC might be a viable strategy. There's a lot of companies trying to make what would've traditionally been PC games and dumb them down and slop them up for mobile but that hamstrings the games' potential. There's a lot of mobile games that could've been good had they been made for PC.

>>498557853Careful you don't get lazy. I've been using it to do brain dead coding I know I could do myself, I just didn't want to burn out doing small simple things. This led to me getting it to write whole scripts. Then, when something went wrong, I treated it like an oracle of all wisdom, expecting it to fix its own mistakes. Yesterday I had 1 script changing the player's SFX when they moved different speeds in water. It was ugly how one audio clip would abruptly interrupt another. Or if you moved just a tiny bit you'd get 0.1 seconds of awkward noise.I tried for a couple hours to get chatGPT to make it play a whole audio clip once it starts thinking I wouldn't be able to do it myself. That's where reliance on the bot nigger gets you. In the end I thought about it for 5 minutes, sketched out a code block in psuedocode and then solved my own problem. Think of how many low poly models I coulda made in that several hours lost.

programmer NEET. 3D artist NEET. Music NEET. 2D art / UI NEET. We could literally do anything.I will do a general call when I have more to show.
>>498557504>We are Luca and Leo, two passionate French developers (17 and 20 Yo)Let me guess, both of their parents were game developers and/or rich enough to hire a contractor who is uncredited to help work on the game. It may be Unreal Engine 5, but ain't no way in hell these two made the game by themselves.
>>498558556Thanks for the advice.
there are millions of garbagemen on this planet and every day 70 new garbagemen get hireddo you really think you're going to make it as a garbageman, chud?
>>498559538It does matter, you idiot. Unrecord will match that at minimum. Quality games sell, bad games don't. People hate slop, not quality games. There's enough room in this market for more than one cake otherwise everyone would just play Skyrim or CSGO.
>>498555045i updated it like 5 mins ago and theres already 8 entrieskino
>>498559734>there are millions of garbagemen on this planet and every day 70 new garbagemen get hired>do you really think you're going to make it as a garbageman, chud?
>>498559585it's just an Unreal game with camera shifted a bit and some effects. they just caught a winning idea.
>>498559745>otherwise everyone would just play slop
>>498559583idk what you're asking but i'm in.
>>498559812what sets your garbage collection abilities apart from the rest, huh? what do you have to offer?
>>498559583>3D artist NEET>2D art / UI NEETdon't work for free
>>498553108If Magic Survival and Infiminer flopped then that's purely because the devs made it so.
>>498559916i set your trash can back in place and it doesn't fall over
i love ConfigFiles!!!!!!!!!
I'm a config file?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EmDlsj27nApretty good marnix gj
>>498559583>this spacingand you're the programmer and we'll all be using your engine right?no thanks
goooooooooooood mooooorning saaaaars
>>498559585Its an asset flip. You can buy all the assets they used and make your own bodycam shooter for less than $1000

chibi devil may cry
>>498546164>he could've been anti-israelhttps://youtu.be/3Nf0yIhZ6mI?t=441he said multiple times that he doesn't support israel at all, his statement was more like "not my problem, i don't like those people because they don't like homos and women", still kinda fucked up
>all these suckers thinking they can make a highly photorealistic game by asset flipping
>>498553042And then, one day, for no reason at all, he'll be knifed to death by one of the third world savages he's been voting to let into the country.
It's another great day. I hope we're all making some wonderful progress. Time is the marble from which our dreams are sculpted.
>>498557853the best ideas comes from listening to playlists about history and biology.
>sound effectsWhat should a cancel button sound like?
>my enemies are killing each other
>>498560996*shwip*
>>498560996Learn what a minor scale is
>>498553108VS also had the benefit of SNKRX succeeding a few months prior and creating a big initial audience for it that was itching for more autoshooting games, let's not forget that, of course.
>>498510513You forgot:https://itch.io/jam/agdg-halloween-jam-
>>498560996It should be a click. I expect a ding or something nice on ok, but cancel shouldn't be a strong sound.
>>498560996honk
>>498561113>Learn what a minor scale is>seven stepwise pitches that form an octave arranged in one of three possible sequences, all having in common a half step (or semitone) between the second and third noteswtf
>>498559275One main reason is that displays are inherently an imperative interface. i.e. You must render and post frame data at your monitor's refresh rate e.g. 60Hz, 144Hz, etc. It's the game engines' job to provide a declarative event-driven interface. Only more ignorant devs lean entirely on using the loop callbacks like Update()/FixedUpdate() in Unity and _process()/_physics_process() in Godot. Most reasonably experienced devs will still write the vast majority of their game logic as event-driven.
>>498561113no
>>498560971link me a few fellow anonI'm curious
>>498561297Okay. Minor scale makes thing sound sad or serious. Major scale make thing sound happy and full of sunshine. Make sense, buddy?
today I spent three hours trying to fix a bug, and that bug was that I wrote "if (array >0)" instead of "if (arraysize > 0)"
>>498561592shut up cris
>>498561549>anonNewfren... tread carefully. There's danger lurking around every corner in this general.
Game about doing vasectomies on chuds.
>>498561549watching this one about medieval and renaissance up to napoleon warfare.10/10 kino.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZg564LfQEc&list=PL4VoyER2bxcTY_74KpNHDdI3ME8atrylw&index=2
Now I just have to determine how powerful the ability is mathematically for balance purposes.
>>498561642just use copilot lol
>>498561643>Only Cris is allowed to have basic knowledge on how to make musicGrim
>>498561459You know, I know you don't need a formal musical education to make music and you can just learn stuff more qualitatively, but I'm pretty sure at least one of the Beatles could read and write sheet music.
>>498561717pike and shot deez nuts nigga LAMO
>>498561827sound effects are not music
why is the latest unity release from 2022? should I download that one or "unity 6 preview"
>>498560271This actually made me decide to add limitless sprinting back to my first person game
I'm working on level 2 of my demo/potential commercial project. I've just sketched out what I assumed would be Section A of Area 1. In total it was gonna be:Area 1: Sections A, B, C.Area 2: Section A.But my God, the effort it will take just to do this first of 4 sections. I want it to feel like the player has genuinely just hiked down the side of a mountain but maybe I'll see how this first section feels to play then decide if Area 1 really needs 2 more parts to it.
>>498561887Unity 6 comes out of preview in 2 days, so go with that, since you're new.

>>498561717People say that the Japanese wank the samurai/katana aesthetics but then you think about the fact that for most of the the middle-ages europeans were losing to muslims and mongols, nothing is more wanked than knights and straight swords (spears and pikes were better).
>>498561717Have you watched Captain Alatriste? Amazing fucking movie.
>>498562151I don't watch woke shit.
I'm learning how to 3d model and uh... I realized just now that I might be able to piggyback on others' projects soon once I know that I can actually make production ready models. That's pretty cool.
>>498562062enginedev bros... we've been out-autismed
>>498562062bro is agdg's tim follin lmao, making music from c64 basic? really?
>>498561880It's the same idea. A sound effect that gives off the impression of you changing your mind or saying "no" would be based off the minor scale. Think about how you usually say "no" in a deeper more flat tone than how you would say "yes".
>>498554716It's the most perfectly crafted turd ever. It's so easy to use and make noob gains with, but then you hit that plateau where you have to do rep after rep with a weight that's not heavy enough to make gains with, but not light enough where you feel it's effortless.You know you're going to have to switch engines at some point, but you keep putting it off hoping that it gets better. It's not getting better, 4.2.2 was the peak.

Wanting to build a dungeon crawler. Got some basics going, soon will be need to be importing monsters/basic "AI" of just walking to player and attacking.
>>498562210i'm learning how to 3d model too, sometimes it feels like i might not be as good as i want to be at it, i've made zero progress today, but maybe i can become a low and mid poly 3d goddess
>>498562118Based. The muzzle loader is such a kino weapon that shattered every illusion of the noble man-at-arms, whether it be a knight, a samurai or even the cavalier. The Napoleonic wars devastated the population of horses as well as men and heavy cavalry was falling off because they simply killed every big horse.It irks me there is so little flintlock, wheel lock, matchlock kino in videogames but my own attempts have been over scoped failures.
>>498560496it's too late to make one now
>>498560996like a glass breaking
>>498561181Sorry, I just went into the resource file and copied that. It really needs to be updated more ...
