>>498562118I think from the videos, it really depends on which era we have.greek phalanx, medieval armor horse knight, spanish tercios, tercios with musquets and trebuchets and pistol caracoles, bayonets and artillery. weapons and tactics from one era are useless in another.samurai/katana would easily be curb stomped by pike and shot tercios.>>498562151I do feel I need to watch some movies, but been busy lately.

Coffee or tea to fuel your game development? For me, it's neither. The only hot drink I like is warm chocolate milk.
I spent a little under three years on my game and launched on itch a few weeks ago. I got about 5 browser plays, with one even leaving a comment saying it was "awesome," but after about five days the browser plays went to zero and stayed there, so I deleted the game and closed my itch account. The bar is just too high for me to reach I guess.
>>498562889>>498562738I'm still going to make my game. I don't care.

>>498563970>>498564049There's no point marketing a game unless it's good.

So TOK is the only one posting his demo at Steam feast? That sad.
>>498564209you market anything that you want to make money. games literally make zero money until they are marketed. you can market a game released years ago and still make money today.

>>498564818There's like 3 devs at best from australia so you better be posting progress by lunch time.
>>498563793i don't understand how they did this, it's like the same guy made all of these models, but i know it's different guys, how do i learn their tricks? what is this ancient art >>498563482mega man legends is cool>>498563408this might be a reasonable ask for me
>>498564818cool game, but it hardly feels indie at all.

>>498564849How convenient, deleted page and took images before? At least you work fast at html editing.
>>498564819>anon sees this and thinks it's lust provokingthis is why i'm glad other women have high standards
>>498564818is it just me or is there something sincerely unappealing and lame about fast-paced action games, especially ones marketed as such?Action games are at their best when they are a test of skills that allows you to gradually hone yourself until you can play the game more gracefully. If a game's whole shtick is that it's "fast-paced" then that's a gimmick, and the devs need to take a lot of precautions to take control away from you and make the game play itself to make the game quicker and more snappy and fluid, and at that point, what the fuck are you even doing? Are you even playing? Nah my brother, the devs are playing (You).
>>498564951>made by two guysI'm thinking it's indie>>498565071>no dev because don't want to post my progress in the thread full of crabs and lolitards>post a gif from my inspiration folderYeah I'm thinking you're retarded

how do I make mmorpg?
>>498565123A responsible dev keeps records to study later.
>>498565163My wife has quite high standards, but that doesn't stop me shit posting, dear.
>>498565120There's nothing to be scared of.
>>498565163eh what?
>>498565251>it's only playing if I can believe i control everything even though the camera moves by code, the character moves by code, everything moves by timers and the physics is managed by code too
>>498565067yeah it looks awful to be honest, yet i still admire it somehow>>498564985they're not that easy, also when i try shading on low poly textured models ij blender it looks so bad, i'm considering just baking the intended shading into the texture
>>498565256>feelit feels more like smurfing than indie. like ex pros or something making an indie game
>>498565417Fluid non-stop-dopamine-supply breakneck ADHD action games are gay and I'm willing to die on that hill.
>>498564951>It's only indie if it looks like shit
>>498565593This, but unironically.
>>498565376i guess i could show off a webm...
>>498565251That's a platformer, anon. I should know because I played the demo. The Big Catch is intended as a platformer, not an action game. Also IMO slow paced action games are an oxymoron. Ideally an action game should give you a lot of control over the character so that when you get to the base level of proficiency in movement you can make it fast-paced. Pic very related. An ideal game has it's core mechanics built in a way it resembles chess: easy to pick up and grasp, but with a high skill ceiling that allows the gameplay to turn into a flow state when you reach a certain level of proficiency.
>>498565256You have no game, faggot.
>>498565593nah by your logic kojima productions is also indie
it's deving time!
>>498564951Nu-indie games are only going to look more and more professional as the pros are laid off.
>>498565417>Tyrone fucking my wife isn't really cuckoldry because my wife only cums from her dragon dildo anyway therefore the control was never in our hands to being with LMAFO X3
>>498565251the only cool thing about tomb raider is that it has a female protagonist, it's so boring otherwise>>498565117i'm not sure if they were copying results, it seems like they were trained in a certain way, i wish somebody would teach me like this, but it's a journey i must take alone sadly
>>498565674Character model makes me nostalgic. What's the gameplay of this going to be like?
>>498565593It's only indie if it was made by a single person that hates the game and himself. If you have ANY emotional or developing support, you are not an indie developer.
>>498564437If a game is genuinely good enough, it will sell itself from people recommending it to others. If it's not good enough to do that, marketing is a waste of time.
Could a Sim City remake work?
>>498565514Are you retarded? By definition no publisher and developed by a 1 person to a small team is literally the definition of an indie game regardless of their previous work experience. Wasn't there that one solo developed assetslop flat-shaded title that people were jacking off here the other day by a former AAA dev? I don't remember the name. Either way, the guys who worked on The Big Catch's only previous experience was making a handful of gamejam games and a couple joke games including Yo Noid! 2. If you are really splitting hairs over it "Not being indie" feel free to download the demo on Steam and notice the extremely janky shortcut they used for the running/walking animation. It's clear it isn't their strong suit.>>498565593Also this lmao. Clown.
>>498565686>>498565809There's something really specially about how deliberate the gameplay of Tomb Raider is. Games aren't inherently supposed to be shiny toys for toddlers. Tomb Raider makes you think and calculate your actions and it's one of the best action series ever made. You're just not going to find that anywhere nowadays
>>498563856that's normal
>>498565967literally, unironically, word of mouth is marketing. You will get zero word of mouth if all (5) of the players of your game tell no one about it.
>>498565305>how do I make mmorpg?You're either born with the knowledge or you aren't.
>>498564209>There's no point marketing a game unless it's good.
>>498564571ToT
>>498566016First guy you responded to here and the original poster for that TBC gif. I grew up with Tomb Raider. It was held back by how clunk it's controls are. What you are saying is literally just boomer cope even though we're probably the same age. One of us got the wrong message out of the game and it was you. An action game shouldn't feel like running through mud, but actively make you feel like you're a participant in the action.
>>498566015>they're extremely popular but they're still indie and not mainstream because.... they just are okaynext you will say spelunky devs are also indie
Dave the Diver is indie in clown world.
>>498565975Multiples of that already exist. I can't even remember the Sim City clone names because they're freeware clones that are already much more dense and built up than what you probably have in mind, and then you have City Skylines 1 & 2 and that other really autistic city builder that was marketed at municipal planners. I think it's a dead genre to try and get into but that's my 2 cents. Give it a shot if you want, or don't.
>>498566207I'm 26. I played Angel of Darkness to Underworld back in 2014 and thought they were mehI'm playing Tomb Raider now for the first time and I'm completely captivated by how elaborate the game really is. I thought it would be a huge pile of shit but a lot of games from the 90s completely blow most games post 2010 out of the water
>>498565865i honestly don't know, i was kind of hoping my gamedev partner could take the wheel on the non-town building aspect of our dark cloud-like...
>>498566069Exactly. If your game can't even get 5 people to tell other people about it, it's not a good enough game.
>>498565706Indie means independent. IE: no backing from a big corporation like Sony or EA for example. If you made a game without Mr. Shekelstein buying the IP from you and giving you cash, then you are indie, regardless of how your game looks.>>498566287It is.
>>498565975Tiny Glade did well but it had a really nice look. Find a niche in the city builder genre and focus on that.
>>498565305I wouldn't even touch anything related to internet facing backend shit these days without going through some kind of framework designed by professionals. Every step of the process is a security risk.
>>498565674Really cool :O what kind of game?
y'all might crab on nortubeldev, but he's the most productive poster here
>>498566657Tiny Glade is the complete diametric opposite of Sim City. They don't share a single target audience member
>>498566629>star citizen is indie
>>498566374You think big corporations will continue appropriating the term indie to market their games?
>>498564985>Legends style models are easy as shit.post yours
>>498566484I'm two years older than you. I played it when it was new and I recently replayed it for research for my own game since I remembered it had some similar mechanics. However I was disappointed how clunky it was as a game. The game itself was fine, but it was clunky. In an ideal world you would have that setting and elaborate set pieces, but you would have the fluid movement mechanics found in SM64 or Sunshine. It just works and flows better without all the clunky jank.
all games are basically the sameno i will not elaborate
>>498566825>Self-developed and self-published Sounds indie to me. Not like it matters, Star Citizen is never coming out anyway.
>>498562931>jam-Why a hypen at the end?
>>498565593this is what shit developers who gave up on improving their art/look and insist on using godot no matter what actually believe
>>498567153correct
>unreal>try adding a struct to an actor from a separate header file>project cant find any files>project takes 5mins to build>constant build issues>any other game engine>try adding struct>it just worksWhy does anyone bother with this engine again?
>>498567256>>project takes 5mins to buildGet a PC built in the past 6 years.
>>498565251schizo.controlled execution is one side of it, difficulty escalating game speed, your speed has to increase as well.(DMC, GOD HAND, NIOH) fast reactions and simple gameplay are no less impressive. boomer shooters have a very simple but satisfying gameplay loop and that's a game seller.FUCK YOUR 900 SECONDS EVERY DAMN TIME YOUR COOKIES DON'T SAVE I'M NOT BAN EVADING JANNY TRANNNNIIIIEEEEEEESSS total janny genocide. i hope hiro dies bleeding from his chopped dick.
>>498565712POV: you, my codemonkey, being put to work by me, the game and art director
>>498567045I agree it can be improved upon a lot, but unfortunately it never was. The clunky controls unintentionally force the player to consider his actions more carefully, which is something I haven't encountered much in games and it is an interesting experience. It will probably get old but it's the only platformer I've played that forced me to think about how to get to places and made me plan out things. Maybe I just haven't played enough platformers. It almost reminds me of Thief in the way it works. The best games have gameplay that engages the player mentally. Tomb Raider might be mechanically busted but it succeeds in including your brain in the gameplay and not a lot of games accomplish that.
>>498567153the good ones are different
>>498567045it's not fair... I could make a game like that in a couple days... if I was born decades ago it would've been worth millions, no it'd sell like 3 copies...
>>498562889That's not his son. Momma got seeded by a med BVLL.
I love you all so fucking much
>>498567603It's an interesting experience but only so far as to the later levels where it becomes a hindrance more than it is a help. By the end of the game they expect you to do the impossible with the clunky controls under duress. You can have fast paced movement mechanics and still require the player to think or use advanced techniques to get there and it wouldn't take away from that if the levels were designed right. As it stands, it's just far too clunky to be enjoyable and any more than "okay" on a fundamental level. It just asks too much of you at the end with it's extremely clunky and limited controls when the rest of the game asked you to think carefully about your next move, but then flip the script at the end and hope you are skilled enough to do it under a timer with such clunky controls.
My Mona Lisa. When I go Japan I will be sure to visit the store to see it in person
>>498567779Could you really make a game near that good for the N64 with the tooling available back then?
are any of you trying to make something completely unique? like not even an existing genre but just barebones rules you made up from first principles.

>>498568483Baba is you sequel?
So I was trying to eliminate the need to remesh the entire window of chunks ( basically the square which is your render distance ingame ), and realized that if the chunk rows just shift up or down, the rows will cascade in such a way that I am basically remeshing the entire chunk window again.So, I have to make a ring buffer for my chunk window. This will be fun.
>>498568391You missed his question if that was your answer. Hundreds of detective games exist. Explain how yours is different and doesn't follow the same basic groundwork as the others.

>>498568806That sounds interesting. Looking forward to it.
>>498563402why does it start outside of the collider? why is it a boxcast? why does the capsule overlap with the floor?as for why the cast doesn't find the white collider box on the left of our view: it shouldn't. you fundamentally misunderstand something about casts and I can't read your mind to figure out what it is. just know that casts do not find whatever object you start them inside of. maybe that's what you're confused about.>>498562948if he was doing the cast from the center of the capsule he would have SOME chance of it actually working. you should ALWAYS start casts inside a "safe" object. any time you start them out in the open air you're begging to miss collisions.

>a building system but with more flexible shapesIn an effort to avoid having a rust-like building mechanic where everything built with it looks like a rust base, I've been engaged in shape autism.Are curved walls worth the extra hassle?
>>498563949this just makes it sweeter
>>498566565maybe you should just make a town builder if you don't even have any ideas for the other part
>>498570031I also hate the rust building system.I think it is overwhelming for a player to have too many options and little knick knacks and specific measurements when building.This is why Minecraft mogs the ones after it who say "Wait but what if you could specifically build with any shape!?"It needs to be simple but powerful. That is my goal with my game's building system. Simple but very powerful and expressive.

>>498570275I like this.You have promise
>>498566016It's such a shame that TR1 was the peak and everything following it was meh at best.>>498566207The controls are clunk but how methodical the movement is makes it amazing.
>>498570192I'd imagine it more like it behaves similar to the Rust building system, where the player chooses a square or a triangle to put down, and where to put walls, but then after they've made that choice they can convert a wall to a curve and the actual shapes required are taken care of automatically. Since all I'm doing here is breaking down squares and triangles into smaller triangles

I document things I call 'Ludokinos'. They're little things that are cool in games. I document them to put them into my game.Here's one:- seeing a distant future part of the game through a glass or ice wall and the people in that part of the game don't notice you.Example: In Banjo Tooie when you go to Glitter Gulch Mine you can see Hailfire Peaks ( Ice Side ) through an ice wall.
Made some great progress today. Game is approaching the thing I envisioned.
>>498565251classic mario and sonic dichotomy.Sonic sucks because it's basically a memorization test if you're trying to go fast, but ironically the actual jumping platforming in it feels slower than mario because you need to slow to a crawl at those spots and you're much slower without momentum. Never understood the appeal of sonic and super fast constant motion forward platformers.
I'd have Sufjan Stevens be the Musician for my game if he'd accept.
>>498571343My favourite 'Ludokino' is getting to an area further in the game that lets you look back at an earlier portion of the game with a better sense of perspective, like looking down from the top of Sen's Fortress (or Anor Londo, can't remember which) in Dark Souls.
>>498571235Personally I went from multiple minute long build times on a hard drive to near instant on an SSD.
>>498571513Sonic doesn't work because it's a 2D sidescroller, you can't see where you're going. This doesn't apply to 3D games.
>>498571343Encountering a completely nonsensical multi-element puzzle early in the game that you can't be expected to even understand that early because you don't even understand what is going on in the game.About 10 hours later you run into it again and you realize you learned all the different components and now suddenly you understand what you're looking at
>>498571094Nah it actully moves on the ground and I intend to make ground movement faster than flying in some cases
>>498571112kys furfag
>>498572154Oh then that might be alright. I hate the later ACs because you just fly all the fucking time. It's okay if you can build for air time but it should still be a limited resource or have some sort of limitations to it. If it's always best to spend maximum amount of time flying it's like why not just have it fly all the fucking time don't pretend it's a mecha game.

For a game with procedurally generated terrain and structures, do you think it would be a bad idea to also slightly randomize the quests and story so for a castle there can be different types of factions that spawn depending on the seed and also have it randomized whether they are hostile or friendly and offering quests?

>ProgressFixing a few issues with the controls.The character would jump twice. I've inverted the horizontal controls when the character turns around. Did a little more texturing on the background too.Next,I still more moves to add, I want to see if I can improve the look and feel. I am getting eager to work on the opponent AI too.

>>498570806>make new unreal project>create new c++ class that inherits from some base (actor, pawn etc)>create new separate header file>in your header file put a single struct>now try accessing the struct in your unreal generated classYou can't. Normal projects when setup properly look through the entire source folder including subdirectories to look for your header and implementation files. Unreal does not do this by default so if you did want to create a file to house your structs you now need to back into the editor and create a whole class to house it. When really, with any other c++ project, you can just make it where you want. I don't understand the point of having all the engine features if the language you choose for users to generate their projects in is fundamentally kneecapped.
My friends convinced me to buy this to play with them because apparently there's multiplayer now.

>>498576407In general, the way I structure "components" is that they add_user_signal to the parent and/or create custom properties in the parent's set_meta. These interfaces become the meeting point for any entities that need to interact with each other.Chest has an Interaction Node with the logic for how to respond to an interaction query: i.e. tooltip and callback function.Player has a Raycast Node with the logic to handle interactions: on Raycast colliding with an object that has an Interaction node, display the tooltip for the interaction.On the user input_event "interact", the Player Node asks the Raycast Node if the Raycast is currently pointing at an object with an Interaction Node. If so, call the interaction callback. In the case of the Chest, the interaction callback should contain the logic to bring up the Inventory UI, appropriately displaying its Inventory along with the player's. That Inventory UI should handle the logic for swapping items between the two Inventory Nodes it has open.

since everybody talks about motivation problems and depression nowadays. and also everybody saying "i cant make it its all too hard".does that mean i can win by simply just not being a doomer and functioning? been deving daily for the last weeks by simply just not being a doomer anymore. i'm not even a high performer but i keep making good progress.this should be enough to outcompete all the other mentally crippled devs right?it's almost like just being normal is a superpower, just not being a doomer who convinces himself all the time that its not worth doing anything.

>>498577659>>498578236When it comes down to making a content complete game then yes, having an above average IQ and a good work ethic within a realistic scope is enough to finish a game that you can be proud of.If you took 100 solodevs that got past tutorial hell, i'd say that only 10 of them achieve something like that. And out of that 10, maybe 3 of them will find enough success to fund the next project.You need a work ethic to get yourself into the top 10%. But you need talent to get yourself into the top 3% and that's when you can actually do this as a full time gig and that full time gig may be fairly temporary.

what do people try to achieve telling themselves how hard it is to make it? like even if it's true (maybe it's not even hard), what is the intention behind it? like what's the point of telling yourself that something is hard? to get you stop doing it? or to make you work harder? i don't feel like those people make themselves work harder.i think those people just hate gamedev and want to find reasons to not do it.i think its cognitive dissonance.

>>498579515i know...not sure you're the same anon here >>498569568but i don't need to use the layermask because that anon is correct, raycast doesn't register collision when cast from within the "safe" object.also, another anon said that i shouldn't start the cast inside so there's been lots conflicting suggestions so far.
I just combined backrooms and UFO 50 into the ultimate game idea.Infinite corridors line with infinite arcade cabinets, each AI generated to be unique and fully playable.
>>498580304this except not ai generated
>>498579748It's to let the other person know that they aren't wrong for giving up. It's hard as in actually hard, not fake hard. If you give, then that's fine. Beginning game devs don't even understand this concept. They think making a working game is hard.
I whiteboarded the problem, and solved it. Now all that's left is the implementation.I'm right outside the city of the problem and I'm taking a small bit of time before encroaching to eat a stuffed pepper.
>>498580304
>>498580568so what? everything is hard then. every job. every hobby. seriously man this shit is just a dumb mindset. name one job where you can just collect money without any effort. what even is the point of that thinking? that you should do nothing and just rot away in your room?also becoming a professional gamer or athlete is way harder than making a game.in gamedev you just have to make something cool. in competition you actually have to be the fittest or most intelligent person.

>>498581121wow that was a post of substance, explain to me what is hard about gamedev? hard as in: not even spending time and effort means you can achieve it, because its simply too hardbecause there's nothing that doesn't take time and effort
>>498581302By the Power of God.Mark 11:23-24
>>498581379modern developers cannot make Half-Life. It's basically lost technology at this point. This is the Roman Empire all over again
>>498581179that might be it. i'll give it a try. thanks to all anons who helped.
I didn't even know Godot had a 3d tilemap/gridmap editor, I was thinking I'd have to make my own. My game is so stupid simple that I should just be able to like make it now. That's crazy. Still need to learn some basic skills, like making 3d animations in blender, which is going to be a hassle, but this is not bad at all.
>>498581539Not that anon, but what's so difficult to make of Half-Life?
>>498581616steamie fanboy circlejerking
>>498580961What's wrong with acknowledging something that is difficult is in fact difficult? It's important for giving value to your (or someone else's) efforts.
>>498581302the homunculus
>>498581667whats the point of calling something difficult? everybody bitches and cries about their job nowadays. its not like gamedev is that special hard job. would you rather spend 2 years gamdeving or 2 years working at mcdonalds?if gamedev is so hard, then i guess you'd rather work at mcdonalds right?

>>498581616It's an enormously complicated multilayered game that heralded the start of the PC golden age alongside Unreal and Thief The Dark Project.

>>498573310Nice animations
>>498580187I will now use your game engine
>>498581968There is satisfaction to be derived from overcoming something difficult, and knowing something is difficult makes it easier to persevere when it feels difficult.I'm the sole developer for my fairly large company and also enjoy the challenge of it. That isn't me bitching or crying about it though. It is difficult therefore it is engaging.
>>498562889>when even this guy is starting to notice the trend of people jumping into gamedevaggy-kun's! our gamedev futures looks so bleak!
if you care about too much competition gamedev is the wrong hobby for you, because it means you aren't into gaming. because if you'd be into gaming you'd both want more games and also want to make one.

Hello everyone!I finished my settings menu!Thank you!Best of luck on your things! Good luck :D
>>498577659Determination in finishing a game isn't enough on its own otherwise I'd make it with this flop of a game I'm making. Still second guessing whether to cut the scope or go the whole scope and risk it being a waste of time.

>>498582723Good work!
Does posting your progress and showing your stuff here give you motivation to keep working? Like the anons reacting to your stuff gives you the dopamine to keep going? I kind of have a hard time with focusing and motivation.
>>498582725yeah, but now what? the whole point of mindset is to get you yesdeving, everything else doesn't matter. if a thought does make you more of a nodev, then whats the point? if you really want to give up just do it, give up, do something else. otherwise, stop having those thoughts and have thoughts that make you work more. the brain chases what it believes to be worth the effort.

>>498582723congratulations
>>498582960yes, when posters here took interest in stuff i posted, i got really motivatedpraise, interest and/or a promise of money make me work like a demon
>>498582960I'm motivated even more when I see people saying that I won't ever finish.
>created a fully functioning stage with GPTslopit's too late for me
>>498582960I get more motivated from not posting anything at all. Posting has the potential of getting me (You)s but 99% of the time it doesn't which just ruins my flow completely. Even when I get (You)s it's some quippy soifaggot joke that might as well be AI generated so it's not really worth it
>>498583426Are you assimilating?
>>498582960No, posting progress is for making sure this remains a place of quality. A real community of real devs. Not just sharing any take. Imagine if DD just had random people submit their game. Would you care? No, you only care for those of the community who you know are there for you everyday as you are there for them.
>>498583723What I'm doing is the following:>proooompt for "how do I do x">plug it in>inevitably find some fuckup>ask prooompt to explain why it does that>google that and try to fix myself
>>498582893>just how much money is a game making that it's only temporaryProbably 2-3 years, enough to fund the next project. it's what i'd call a moderate financial success. I personally wouldn't make the jump on that on a single project. But if i made 2 of them in a row i would.
>>498583894then reply to our progress you fucking faggot nigger. We're not here just to spam our hard work into the void and feel like nothing we do matters
>>498582960It depends on the person, but posting progress makes me lose motivation. It's primarily nodevs that demand progress be posted, because they have no game but want to feel like they're a part a real gamedev community where they can hide their incompetence behind anonymity.
>>498583894this message inspired me to react more to progress posts.
>>498565251>Action games are at their best when they are a test of skills that allows you to gradually hone yourself until you can play the game more gracefully. If a game's whole shtick is that it's "fast-paced" then that's a gimmickYou are correct.Fast games look interesting enough to watch on reddit post or a YouTube short and will probably get some OK metrics, but the games themselves are always unremarkable and don't sell that well. I think the obsession with speed was also a contributing factor in the consistent fumbling of Sonic games, as the devs bought into their own hype about speed and forgot that it started as a precision platformer with speed being a reward for mastery of the levels.
Blocking out levels is truly one of the gayest aspects of game dev. It's one of the few parts that actually feels like work. Even UI has grown on me compared to this shit.

>>498585126is that hammer?
>>498585318I think you mean the implementation? I still get a kick out of planning and tweaking on pen and paper. It's putting it all in the engine that's monotonous and shit.
>>498585130Which you need because someone will spam pause while jumping to get over those mountains
>>498585459quit misrepresenting what i said
>>498584723Only because it’s like game engines weren’t build for seamless level editing. The level of imprecision and lack of editing mode similar to blender makes it feel like you’re grinding away at your fingers.
>>498585435Oh yeah that's what I mean. Its such a pain in the ass now. It was way better back when you could just draw the map out in a dedicated tool instead of juggling multiple programs and dealing with importing shit constantly.

>>498584987not every game is open world old man
>>498586090I wish I had a switch I could flip to revert my skill levels back to junior dev levels when I need to do quick and dirty prototyping.
>>498584987Ironically, it’s not the mountain that matters, but the angle by which you can climb.
>>498586090this checks out. I built a whole ass game with placeholder assets and am procrastinating on the art because I haven't perfected my workflow for 3d assets yet. why didn't I make a 2d game...
I saw that the previous demo day had over 80 submissions. Wtf. I thought there were nothing but nodev shit posters here simply trying to fill the void so they don't feel so sad, useless, and lonely.
>>498585882100% of all gross profit over $100k, plus they own all rights to your game and IP. They can release it on other consoles if they want and keep all the money, or even sublicense it out for sequels and keep all the money.

>>498587636alright alright I'll buy it!
Just found out zodiac signs aren't even accurate to what sign the sun is actually in during the time of some signs. So according to the classic tradition I'm one thing but the sun was apparently in a different sign on my birth.
>>498587636do you turn into a bokudokuro when you touch the ooze?
>>498587796I am an Aquarius
>>498586880A good level editor is one of the biggest productivity improvements a dev can have but few seem to make one for themselves. At least adapt trenchbroom or something into your workflow or use some plugin. I can't imagine putting assets together by hand in the editor for more than some basic prototype purposes.
Sagittarius, the yesdev sign.
>>498587796wait until you find out there should be 13 zodiac signs
>>498587796Looks like you'll have to fall back on good old fashioned racism if you want to make snap judgements about people for how they were born.
>>498587636Looks good from yesterday. When can I buy already.
>>498587947I'm Scorpio but sun was technically in Libra. I don't believe in that mystical crap but I do believe stereotypes and beliefs about signs can psychologically affect people and their development so I'm curious if there would have been any change at all in my life if society went by accurate stars instead of arbitrarily dividing the year with bullshit
>>498588173Actually, it's Scorpio

the nodev sign? whatever sign cris is
>>498588813See? This is why you don't buy assets. Cris has a unique art style that is instantly recognizable.If you just make a syntyslop game, you lose the opportunity of creating an identity for your game.
>>498588813I want to know what your day to day life. What brings you to waste your time like this? Surely with the effort you make shit posting you could have accomplished something instead.

>>498585459And? It's not like the average player will do it save those wanting to see what's behind. I don't see the issue. Like call of duty black ops patching all the fun stuff out but doing absolutely nothing about game breaking stuff or so I recall myself saying in the past. If they're gonna get rid of the fun stuff then they better get rid of the bad stuff
>>498589586he doesn't plan long term.

>>498588995this reminded me there's a segment in Araki's book talking about this, he explained how all successful manga had artstyles that let people immediately identify who the artist was compared to the manga that were visually similar having a harder time even if they looked objectively well drawn.

You know what fucking sucks about solo deving is wanting to test out your mechanics in a level so you design a test area but don't have textures so you spend half your time making and assigning textures to a test level then realize you want to change the art but your mechanics aren't donehate it
>>498589586the closest he has to a game is like a day 1 prototype
>>498590591>what is kenney's
>>498590383that just means your game sucks
>>498590383Streamers are parasitic talentless unskilled nodevs on the same level as actors (the lowest scum of society). They should be grateful for the magnificent game you have produced because they will never be capable of anything equivalent
splattercat gaming will make a video about my game without me having to ask him.
>>498586556Don't be stoopid. You own the rights to everything you create in engine but they (obviously) reserve rights to all (their) software you used and anything derivative of it. Most of what you said is schizo tier nonsense.
>>498590591Just use prototyping grid textures. Slap a couple color tints to differentiate floors and walls if you need to.
>redot is a flop>Asmongold apologized for the first time of his lifechud sisters it's been a rough week
>>498590758low iq take. game dev and streamers are symbiotic.
>>498590851I'm still assigning colors and it feels like a waste of time since I either have to scrap the test level or redo the textures
>>498590383The big streamers have a guy who tells them way to play, usually after negotiating fees from AAA companies and shit to promote their products. They'll occasionally do high profile "indie" games that are massively popular at the moment (stuff like Undertale after it launched) to capitalize on the publicity and build their channel.You might be able to get small time streamers to play your random indie game if it's not complete dogshit, but that's also not going to do anything for you.
>>498585126is this a Shadowed: Demon castle of Ooe like?
>>498590896I still have my genitals though, I'm winning
>>498590947if your game has zero gameplay value maybe
>>498590973It's not a waste of time if you get a level to test your game in. Testing needs to be done.
anyone think of programming a little AI helper to chill in your world as the first creation and just hang out with you?
>>498590383How do I make bounties on Twitch for my game?
>>498590813haha true that m8 hey wouldn't it be crazy if adobe put a clause in their eula stating that they own everything users create in photoshop? haha
>>498590591>he doesn't have a library of thousands of stolen textures to use for testing and reference
>>498591080I will now. Now I need to make her model and maybe give her some chat options. I think I'll even give her some different idle animations.
>>498590660speaking of kenneys>toy car track building and playing game toy>build a track from pieces>pick a car>launch car on track>watch it go like you did as a kidputting it here since I thought it could be a neat little game but I'm probably not gonna make it since I'm fucked in the head
>>498591232It's only Wednesday. We'll make it through the week. This is the turning point.
>>498590787If your game is good then yeah he'll probably do it along with a couple other indietubers.
>>498591142Adobe didn't claim they own your work, they claimed they own all rights to your work. There's a difference.
literally how hard could it be to make your own painting program? i could do that shit in a game engine, just without all the fancy stuff that photoshop has
Would you think it was cool or would you be annoyed if in an open world game with procedural world and stuff, many bosses and NPC's had a few reskinned versions that gave different loot and quests and had small changes in gameplay too but you only get one per playthrough and it's random. So if you get a hellfire elemental as a boss instead of a blood elemental and whatever other elemental reskins you get a hellfire weapon but are locked out of the other elemental bosses rewards and fights.
>>498591263>try to land the car on the bed and not smash into the wall and fall into the gap between the wall and the bed
>>498590983sodapoopin used to do this thing where his viewers/subs/buttlickers would make a list of random indie games and he'd play them one by one on streamnot sure if he still does it or what you gotta do to get your game there but could be worth figuring out if he still does it
>>498591520Are you trying to make a paint program for a minigame? You know there's free professional software like Krita or Paint.net, or GimpOr Paint
>>498591520multiple layers, blending options, filters, supporting all those crazy brushes, running with no slowdown on 16k resolution images?
>>498591263Didn't an agdger make a game like that as a prototype? I swear it was IvySly or SNKRX dev.
>>498591537depends how long the playthrough is
>unity is free unless your game makes a lot of money, then you need to buy Prouhhh and if'n I don't?
>>498591520Or just use Krita. Who the fuck uses photoslop in current year? They put it in the ToS that they're allowed to steal your work and do whatever the fuck they want with it.
>>498591537>someone has been reading your ideas notebook
Man, making a reactive UI with all the aspect ratios out there is fucking infuriating, i now understand why so many devs use stretch mode or black bars
>>498591835I'm architecting something alright.
>>498591835Dynamic UI is a meme and if someone tells you to support it, they're crabbing you. You really think I care you want to play the game at 539x1358? Fuck off.

>>498591537terraria
>>498591712Pretty long. I guess for that reason it might be annoying huh. I want it mostly because I want to add a bunch of little things like that to make each playthrough unique. Maybe having a way to summon the other bosses is a compromise>>498591929Terraria doesn't have that right?But the game I am making is 3d terraria
been 2 days watching a youtube playlist of videos about european warfare between 7-8 century and 17-18 century.Learned about cavalier, heavy calavier, cavaliers with pistols doing caracolas, pikes, phalanx, bizantine and ottoman greek fire and greek grenades, pikes, pike and shoot formations, spanish tercios, swedish formations, german landknecth, muskets, trabucos, bayonets, medieval sieges, artillery sieges, naval galleys, sail galleys, the bigger 16 century ones, the early droughnouts, cavarly charges, types of insults, trenches. some autismo types of sieges, medieval and 16-17 century fortresses, medieval raids.Pretty sure I will forget 99.9% of this a couple weeks from now.

>>498592167>godot can't even handle syntysloplmao
as much as I hate streamers, you have to figure that anyone with a channel that's even on the radar must get pinged with a dozen "play my game" requests daily, probably automated and coming from china
>>498592204Oh yeah you're right
>>498592167>When we started, we had three to four years of professional Unreal Engine experience, so we had a solid foundation. literally why do i need to read more this sounds like setting yourself up for failure

>>498592167>retards struggle with Unreal and GodotThis must be what life is like for idiots who don't use Unity.
>>498591916Same. At worst I will just give gamedev a rest and make 3D art and models because it's the best thing in the world
>>498592453let me hear what you got
>>498592152I think he gave up on it anyways.
>>498592520Is that yours?
progress
>>498592167The only valid complaint he has is about Godot's lighting. Everything else was a skill issue.
i WONT make it and i WILL be happy
>>498592520post your art and not someone else's
>>498592757Im really glad you posted this. As I feel godot is *severely* under utilized for large 3D projects, resulting in basic lack of understanding of its shortcomings.Me and a few devs have spend the last few weeks doing various 3d-related projects in godot, and its seriously crazy just how often you run into major short-comings or bugs when pushing the engine to its 3d limits.Its usually never anything severe, but the sheer quantity is death by a thousand cuts.If godot is going to improve in this area, it really needs experience developers coming over, to really push it to improve in these areas.I've used this engine for near enough a decade, love it, and wouldnt/havent hesitated to make commercial 2D projects in it. But I would be extremely hesitant to use it for commercial 3D projects at the moment - the bigger the project the more you need to avoid godot.
>>498592453I feel like at the point you're making music for a game, you already know it's going to come out.
>>498592705DRPG devs we are so back!
>>498592705damn, gowoke can do THAT?!
Reminder that "name" is an engine reserved property in godont.
>>498591914>57/60 games were shovelware and at least one was an outright scamSounds right. Most people have no idea how bad steam is because valve buries everything. Steam is like a big litterbox with shit and sand constantly being piled up into this huge turd mountain and everyone pretends there's not a problem because valve keeps adding more sand and all they see is the gems that sometimes float to the top but they will never see the gems buried within because of all the shit. Its no wonder Valve hides the new game tab by default because the overwhelming majority of shit on steam is irredeemable garbage. There's really simple things they could do to stop the flood like limiting the number of games one can release every year. There's no reason why someone can release 50+ games on steam a year. And don't try and tell me there's no way to stop someone from doing it. They have to collect a lot of info to pay out.
>>498592798What is this incomprehensibly vague bot post? I'd rather you send me a ChatGPT reply.
Yesterday, I applied for a hard surface artist position at Halo Studios and today they said I haven't met the requirements. They didn't even look at my portfolio (I would know, because the Wix app on my phone notifies me when someone visits and from where.).Why?
ok but what are godot's limitations?>>498592783that's the spirit kek
>>498592919And surprisingly a useful one. I still remember when they first added it and it solved all my problems.
>>498592926>someone can release 50+ games on steam a yearThat doesn't happen
>>498592696No if you reverse image search you should be able to find the maker>>498592793I wasn't claiming it was mine?
>>498593037I think Miziziziz (Godot dev YouTuber) YouTube videos on the lengths he needed to go to make a basic retro FPS game in Godot are a good warning. For medium sized, retro, low poly levels, he needed to put navigation in a separate thread... but even that wasn't enough, so he head to create a pathfinding manager and merge/ optimize pathfinding requests as much as possible just to have 10+ enemies navigating at once. Then he needed to use time slicing to lower the frame rate on animations because inverse kinematics were dropping performance even further. There's even more he had to do just to get above 12 FPS with 50 enemies on screen.The general sentiment of cult-like protection for Godot's direction and leadership is frustrating as I wish time / effort / and Godot Foundation cash flow would be applied to making the engine work better for 3D games, but such requests have been met with anger and defensiveness. The team still refuses to create a roadmap. They refuse to target efforts on problem areas, instead we wait for "contributors to focus on areas of interest". Just look at the Github arguments that go on about 3D feature problems and how divisive it gets. Over and over you see a fairly advanced dev running into performance issues with 3D and the response is always: this is a you problem, your code is wrong, it's never our engine! The attitude with Godot team is really antagonistic. It took over 1 year to get the Vertex Shading PR merged. IK has still not been fully reimplemented in a working state since 4.0! Godot physics are completely broken and Jolt integration is not staying updated with new builds (4.4+). We aren't talking about making pretty Unreal level graphics here, we are talking about the basic functionality of physics, animations, and navigation...I really love Godot, but the trajectory and leadership do not make me optimistic for it.
>>498593070But resume is the first filter? Portfolio is surely the next 10-15 seconds.
>>498592926it's not really a problem tho? it's not like there's a limited amount of space on steamjust needs some sort of system to filter all the absolute shit into its own category that doesn't rely on people actually buying, playing, and rating all of ithell, just add an asset flip tag for games that contain popular bought assets, can probably be automatically detected
>>498592167>those comparison imageskek, this is literally bait>I can't do it, and it's the engine's fault!
>>498593174>https://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Hede
>>498593334>hell, just add an asset flip tag for games that contain popular bought assets, can probably be automatically detectedYou can't do that or AAA games would get in there.
>>498593174maybe not 50 but there's certainly people who release multiple asset flip shovelware games per year on steamyou guys remember that shalom who tried to shill his games here like last year and he got absolutely buttblasted when we pointed out they were asset flips>>498593453jesus fuck>>498593334problem is that making such a system is highly likely to fuck over new/unknown developers who might be releasing something good
>>498593334>it's not really a problem tho?Indie devs have become slaves that worship their worship their masters and I say that without a hint of irony. There's no reason why we should be forced into a mudpit with game mills like this >>498593453
Appealing to streamers out of nowhere is a bad idea anyways. Just make an X account and post all the fucking time, tag retards and get them to comment and repost.
make AI star which hovers around with me as I create the game and chats. Then have him be in the game as one of the characters.
Who was in the wrong here, mr Cohen or Valve?
>>498593070are you a white male?
>>498593768No? Streamers are waiting for good games to stream for attention all the time. If they strike rich and get haha funny clipped moments, they love it. That's why they always play fotm slop and why you should try your hand at directly contacting streamers so they can make use of you. It's a mutual relationship. They hit big, you win. You hit big, they win.
>>498593303The subsidies are one of many problems in the industry to be sure. And no one like the private equity vultures running the major entertainment companies these days. But they're using any and all levers at their disposal to reduce costs and worker power, and that includes using subsidies and outsourcing to move the work to lower cost areas, collect checks from commonwealth governments, and keep the talent migratory, fractured, and powerless.Unless you're on the board of directors of one of the major entertainment companies, there's basically no way to hold any of these businesses accountable. The least we can do is try to reduce the levers they have for exploitation.
must resist urge to add fishing
>>498591739Krita and Photoshop are two entirely different use cases. That's like comparing FL Studio and Discord.

>>498593303it all makes sense once you realize that godot is headed by a kikeit is a professional shilling enterprise
>>498594031I should have made a fishing game. It's not fair.
>>498594031Fishing minigame >>>>> card minigame
>>498593872>it's okay when movie companies and television show producers do it
>>498594158Fishing minigames are way more common than card minigames
>>498593994Except it's a fucking open source project and even if the investors are pozzed the github ecosystem shouldn't be this toxic, not only that but don't get me started on the fact that they only have 1 fulltime dev on rendering.Godot is objectively poorly managed and not everything can be blamed on the investors, juan is sabotaging it with his dumb idea, do they seriously want to compete against unity (forget unreal)? I don't think so.
>>498594140Watching this general get BTFO'd by games like this will never not be funny.
>>498594220because fishing is better than cards
>>498594038What do you need that Krita doesn't have?
>>498594158I just won't play card minigames in RPGs, and if it feels required to play it for the rewards I just won't play the game at all. For a while there SE was putting card shit in all their games and that's about when I stopped playing them.At least a fishing minigame in Zelda is just like a 5 minute deal to get the heart container, it doesn't become the focus of 90% of your playtime like card games try to.
>>498589586he needs to actually make a gamehe constantly doodles and prototypes but the moment responsibility comes knocking and says "HEY PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WORK, IMPROVE IT, MAKE IT ENJOYABLE, MAKE IT MORE USER-FRIENDLY" he shits his pants runs and screams excuses as he project hops to his latest pile of shit
>>498594280we literally tried (and failed) to make a coop animal crossing like btw, it was literally a collab>>498594373not him but krita is for drawing, photoshop is for editing and drawing
A game where you fish for cards to use in battle against stronger fish.
>>498581302could've just put it under a hen's ass and waited for it to hatch .... yawn
>>498594373Krita is art, Photoshop is photo manipulation.
>>498594386>it doesn't become the focus of 90% of your playtime like card games try tothat's the problem with most minigames in my experience, the dev(s) push it so hard the minigame becomes the game and the game becomes irrelevant
>>498594140Is it player hosted or dev hosted?
>>498594373there's a reason people use gimp and krita even if gimp is shit too
a game where the player is playing as a lesser god who is being watched and will be judged at the end of the game ( score ) for his actions when he thought he was all powerful.But there will be hints in the game that the player is not all-powerful, such as not being able to destroy certain sacred sites, and certain holy men noticing the player's presence immediately and being able to ward it off.came to this thought when trying to think of 'what' the player actually is playing as in-lore.and the descriptions seem to converge on some sort of lesser god.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIYTuyV37G0&ab_channel=DeusLeneIV

>>498590383I wonder if you got big time social media user and emailed them all the "streamers" who do this with an email proving they ask for money. I wonder how many of these streamers are just people who saw the others get naturally popular and rich and proceeded to jump in for the fame and money. Only to have no money rolling in so they started charging devs.

>>498594796I don't get it. Did Moly make a game like this?
>>498594796Interesting but hard to design
I'll just say it, a game shouldn't have any gameplay content that isn't built around the main mechanics of the game

is it just me or has godot been doing massive damage control shilling here and on other gamedev forums lately? they must really be hemorrhaging users

>>498594849I hate myself for not getting into streaming in early 2010s. I had all the time but I came up with an excuse of having a PC that too shitty to stream. I could've figured out a 2 PC streaming setup had I really tried to. The dudes who started back then got into the ideal position of being able to stream whatever and their personality cults will watch them. After around 2017 you gotta try so fucking hard to get popular and you can't slip up at all or you lose 75% of your viewership.

>>498595796Of course it failed, nobody wants anything to do with Godot, including forks.
>>498595842Well you fags were really investes and confident in Redot just a few weeks ago. I wonder what happened between then and now that suddenly nobody cares.
now you too can make amazing music for your video game
>>498595067yeah he made Black and White, a game where you play as a minor god against other minor gods. >>498595069I'd basically give the player a sanctum somewhere in a star, a place of respite and trophies. He would not be told what exactly he is, but there would be hints of it. And I'd have a sort of 'end' like Minecraft's End where the player is shown the full truth.
>>498596000Who are you talking to? The only person obsessed with some literally who fork is you. You know that it's like 1 git command to fork a project, right? Of course you don't know, you've never used version control because you don't have a game.Godot is dead. Move on already.
>>498595816isn't that just RoR2?

>>498595602Ironic that this also applies to gamedev. If you got in early you basically have a cult that will buy almost every game you make, so long as you don't try pulling a fast one and releasing a game that feels like a cash grab. Worst part about this is seeing them get away with graphics much lower than new devs trying to break into the space with higher graphics but just not getting an audience like they do.The funny part, I was interested in youtubing for a while and almost went through with it in 2019. Didn't realize how big the microphone was though plus poor QA in the design turned me off. Ended up returning all the recording software. Not sure how I'd have fared if I went through with it but partly backed out since I have siblings that occasionally take an interest in the games I play. Recording the games for videos changes the dynamic so I believe I made the right choice here. Maybe if I lived on my own. Would have to massively edit the videos though since I get pretty autistic on certain parts, eg managing inventory or picking up all the loot and dragging it back to sell kek I doubt many will enjoy watching me repeat this.

All of the stockholders have been pulling out, the CEO of Godot isn't going to get a fat bonus this year, all $GDT holders have been selling and buying $BVY instead. It's gotten so bad that they've had to fire their 1000 man film animation crew and instead use the money to hire shills to promote godot merchandise and the extended godot multiverse.it's whack. we need to remind everyone that it's just a greedy business doing anything it can to keep control of its profits.

>>498598980I'd suggest buying a book on singing. You can't make music if you can't even sing, bro.

I'm building a decklike roguebuilding game.

>>498599670That's probably very common
>>498599670you too? i suck at skyrim but damn do i want to make one
>>498599931how do you suck at skyrim
>>498598980>download daw>figure out how to get it to make noise>tweek noise until it's music
>>498599670what genre
>>498599893then how do you reasonably gauge stuff like challenge or difficulty? I'm trying to make a simple 2D shmup but I have not been able to finish Gradius or Life Force in my life.
>>498599670I'm the best at my genre. since I invented it. but I'm sure some autist will figure out how to get a higher score(if anyone plays it)
>>498600049don't do this, if you don't learn music theory you can get in big trouble for releasing non-compliant tracks
>>498600195Personally I rely on watching how outside play testers do and balance around that.
>>498600004trying to play without cheesing is too hard
>>498599575>furry orblike
>>498600195Make a normal or easy difficulty that you can beat and then make another that you can't. Some sperg will find a way.
>>498600420I will now play your game.
>>498590973You should really have one big playground level with all the features of your game implemented and integrated into it. Make specific content levels later once that's all fleshed out.
>>498600460>do this>dev sucks! he doesn't know what he wants so he can't properly balance and design his own game! do not buy this game!
>>498598994put fighting game inputs in my platformer
>>498600628Actually a good idea.
orblite
a brutal platformer and the actual gameplay is using the in-game tas to beat it
I'm planning to make a single player offline version of the game I want to make. My ultimate dream is to make it into a mmorpg or even just a lobby based thing, but that's very difficult and we know how that goes. I'll use the offline single player game to determine if there's demand and if it's successful or not. If there is, my next game will be the same IP with very similar gameplay. It'll be my take on how it'd play with an online / multiplayer / service component to it.
>>498600420she's literally shooting mobs from her tits
>>498596000I just thought it was funny, I even said or so I recall that I doubt it'd succeed. I do however hope Godot fails. Talk about poorly managed and every now and then I see complaints that seem to just be hidden by the fanboys. Like I want to risk making a game only to find valid issues but get screamed at that it's a "you" problem rather than the engine.

>>498598980When I think about how fluidly I can pull off rotations in MMOs involving letter keys, number keys, function keys, and control key combinations, I just wonder what things might've been like if I spent that time learning the piano instead...

>>498602191piano is more than keystempo is a thing and you play with two hands
>>498601615that thread feels like it gets treated like a marketing venue in all honesty. when you look at it like that, is it any surprise there are better looking games there in general? it's advertising since random /v/ideo gamers might pop in compared to here on /vg/
>>498601913I didn't expect /gedg/ to ever give good advice
>>498602349mmo rotations have their own tempo and you also use both hands, doing entirely different things with them no less

I just had an epiphany about a game I wanted to design, its something really simple but I honestly think it might be big. But I dont know how to start. Basically youre a guy in this apartment block, and the main gameplay loop is getting money to buy upgrades by watching this program on a screen. I know I want it to be first person, but how would I program the money system from watching something? Is there any

>>498604673>>498604959I dont think you understandThe game is about a guy watching something for moneyIt would be this program thats basically white noise, if you watch it money goes up, when your not money goes down slowlyits pretentious as fuck but I think its a good ideathing is, Idk how I would program the money system, and dont know the words for how to search that up
>>498604429you don't get to keep your memories though>>498604447idk in hindsight wow wasn't that fun it had the right amount of skinner box to keep me pseudo-hookedI kept going back after a couple months off for some stupid fucking reason

>>498605136>anon has never heard of a counterProgramming 101.
>>498605136A number that goes up and down?You need to start from the beginning.
>>498605136Like you want the player to look at the virtual screen as the character for money to go up? Just boxcast from the player's center of view to detect it.
>>498604985>Hit revert on the changelog>It reverts all my submitted files
>>498605204I know what a counter is, I just dont know how I would get that to work when the program is on screen and only in that situation. Its first person but you can move around the apartment block, you gain access to more areas but eventually as upgrades keep coming you replace most things with more screens for the program
