Spent all day making AI for my first 6 opponents. The crab crushes your highest dice
>>498610391this is a good reason why you should throw the towel in eventually. i wouldn't want to end up 50+ years old with weak connection to family and no wife. that'd be sorrowful, eventually gotta throw that towel in unless i get rich in which case i'd likely have plenty of free time
Why should I buy your video game when I can watch <streamer> play it for free and even make funny voices while playing it?

Is making my dream game with pixel art a mistake
>>498615243Yes but do it anyway
>>498615243why would your dream game have pixel art?
legend of zelda but it's a politics game and you have to convince people that ganon's border policy of flooding hyrule with moblins isn't going to save the economy
>>498615375Approved
>>498615243I personally find it cringe that people make bad art for their games like N64 and low poly instead because I believe most of them are doing it because they think the retro style seems easier than doing something modern, but low poly and retro styles themselves can look good sometimes. It's the same with pixel art. If you are doing it out of insecurity about your own artistic skills or because you don't want to spend time on making nice looking art your game will be ugly, but if you are doing it because it genuinely aligns with your artistic vision then you're fine.
>>498563856>so I deleted the game and closed my itch accountWhy do this though? You could leave it up, it might get popular later and even if it doesn't why delete it? I've seen an indie dev or two who do this and it makes no sense, it doesn't cost anything to maintain.
>>498615579What if you have a lot of nostalgia for N64 games and happen to also like the fact that developmental-wise it puts less stress on you as the artist/programmer/designer?
>>498615579Retro low poly styles have immense potential when tastefully combined with modern tech.
>>498615825You have to go between worlds to restore the future by preventing the Ganoncrat party winning the election
>>498615375Maybe the economy was broken the second they decided to base it around infinitely respawning rocks they kept finding when they mowed their lawns.

>>498615757I really don't understand, if its good on itch for some days then double down polish it and post on steam?
i can visualize the waveforms in my mind as i hear the sounds
>>498616185Every composer can do that moron
>>498615579I don’t think it’s easier. I think it’s both easier and proven to work. Why invent my own style that might not work? It’s ludicrous.
>>498616185>>498616375aliens in our midst

>>498616185I can see sounds outside of my head.
>>498616185I see the notes as colors
>>498563856Kek, I have hundreds of browser plays and not a single comment. It was largely broken for the longest time, too, and no one even commented to let me know. Get on my level.
>>498616185>>498616375>>498616612>>498616621>>498616630Surely with superpowers like these you guys have composed dozens of great tracks?
>>498616718Thats like saying I can draw a highly realistic piece of art just because I can visualize something in my mind. It doesn't translate over to actual skill woth the hands.
>>498616514It's obviously easier to make a low poly model with shitty flat textures than to create a fully sculpted and textured or handpainted model
>>498616185My auricular appendages transmute oscillating atmospheric perturbations into a symphony of cognitively decipherable auditory stimuli
>>498617038If you could actually visualize something in your mind then you would be able to draw it no problem though? Most people just think they can visualize shit but when they actually think about it they got no clue what the thing they're trying to visualize actually looks like.
>>498617063define "low poly"if you mean like some stacked cubes, then okay I guessotherwise no, sculpting is by far the easiest way to create a model which is why most of the amateur shit you see is 80 trillion triangle sculpts with hideous animations because they can't even be rigged properly
>doubledippingwho here working on two projects at the same time?
>>498617038Just trace over the shapes in your head? Yeah the lines are going to be shaky since you didn't train your hand, but the perspective and proportions will surely be just as good as the original?
>>498617330oh god the fingers are literally a solid black mass of vertices
>>498617330right is midpoly but the teeth are highpolyleft is retardpoly
>>498617146for the past 8 years I've been spending the hours I spend in bed awake due to insomnia training my visualization skills by spinning a cube in my mindI can mentally spin 3 cubes at once currently
>>498617380I'm not-working on a dozen projects at the same time
>>498616718Honestly synesthesia sucks because it makes making good music hard because too much noise looks horrible and it takes forever to put together something coherent... Almost feels like getting a headache when it goes wrong.
>>498617680what does dubstep look like
>>498617539??? no? right is low poly, mid poly isn't even a real term and would probably refer to some vague definition of a cinematic model, and high poly would be what they used to bake all the texture information for the low poly modelI know fake gamedevs have a hard time getting this through their brains but low poly does not specifically refer to minecraft or ff7 characters
>>498617946There's no point in refering to professional terms when most people here are solodevs with little to no experience.
>>498617330Would left benefit from being run through a decimation modifier even just once? I am not a profi modeller so I wouldn't know.
Are there any resources on making skyboxes? It feels like now that hardware is able to render distant objects, the art of the skybox has kinda started to get lost, even though they look so much better.Also, in this context, by skybox I don't actually mean the sky but vistas in the distance that aren't actual part of the game world. I don't know if you actually call that a skybox or something else. Please educate me.Anyway, it seems like the best of these have some actual layering and stuff going on.
>>498617946low poly and high poly can be used in different contexts, you're not wrong in the way you're using them but we are referring to style which is roughly categorized by polycount
>>498617330when I say sculpting I mean sculpting something that actually looks good and for games baking it down to a lower poly version as is the modern workflow.by low poly I mean the boxy models people use for nostalgiabait retro style games and in 90% of cases feels like it doesn't contribute and just looks lazy and ugly.
>>498618514I tried to google how to make space skyboxes a while back and it made me wanna kms. I found a couple okay tools but aside from those it was impossible to find anything useful.
>>498619061yea that's kind of been my experience as well...
>>498618514What game is that on the top?
I'm just copying someone else's idea in my own way. This seems like the only way I can envision a game from start to finish.
Made a lot of progress... on stuff that's barely visible when playing.Currently considering making ranged units able to use indirect fire (and shoot further than their own vision range) by default, since them having actual LoS requirement and thus body-blocking each other make them kind underwhelming in squad-to-squad direct combat.Also introduced (in)accuracy for ranged units.
>>498619696Monster Hunter Freedom 2/Unite
How to make millions
>>498618514you can render them in many programs. the best solutions are probably actual terrain generators like terragen. E-on VUE is a really old program that I wouldn't recommend but it used to be popular for big studios to make skyboxes in the earlier days of CG and recently got made completely free. You can do them in blender and maya too just set up a panoramic camera.>>498619061Download ifsrenderer. It's very good for making space scenes and abstract renders that aren't ludicrously heavy on the PC and is totally free. Here's a low res version of a scene I made in it a few days ago. This one isn't panoramic but it's easy to render it as that.

>>498619937Thanks and yeah idk how it works but I assume these skybixes are just really huge paintings placed far away otherwise idk since this stuff is beyond me>>498620136Nta but what about more complex backgrounds? Can it do pixel style?

>>498620310It's not the game they find attractive anon, it's the money. Make money = women like you
>>498620310I've been with my gf for 14 years this week.
>>498613508What I wonder is how all the pixel art games of the past actually maintained 1 pixel per pixel on the screen. Make a pixel art scene and put in Unity for example. You'll probably have some random tearing even after adjusting the setting for it to work as intended.>>498619843So why do they just stand there and take it?

>>4986203103, 4 or 6 (the one in the light blue outfit), 7. If only women lined up like this irl, I can have my pick of the litter to take as wife.But it is part of the motivation, but not the main motivation for devving. I want to make fun games that also make me rich and can thus free me and my family from the wage cage and give us a cozy life. That is my primary motivation with devving and making it off my games.
>>498620771>a whore who's only with you for the money?look at your webm
>>498618514I've rendered skyboxes in Blender before, cubemap and panoramic. Highly dependent on modeling skill though, or finding some decent terrain plugin that you can make look good.
>>498620630Seems he puts a lot of time in guess that happens once you lose all fear of returning to the wagecage due to homelessness
>>498620771>Why not just find a woman who likes youI'm in my 30s and go out regularly and no woman has ever been interested in me except drunk women I've had one night stands with who then ghost me.I am unlovable.

Work from home helps tho, otherwise my free time would be cucked by the commute.>guess that happens once you lose all fear of returning to the wagecage due to homelessnessAs opposed to the fear that some crackhead will steal or destroy your possessions or stab you as you sleep buried in garbage in an alleyway... I dunno man I think it's probably better not to be homeless.If that guy has the technical skills to make a game he should be able to get a reasonably well-paying job, or he could if the economy weren't in the toilet.

>>498624142It's not about being poor or rich, it's about knowing your market. I just did a quick search for turn based tactics games and the only ones that are priced that high are a handful of weeb rpgs. Why would anyone buy the Lamplighters flop when they could buy any one of a number of better games, including XCOM, for a cheaper price?Some of these game studios have an absurd sense of entitlement. Make a better game if you want me to open my wallet faggots.
how do i fix this?
>>498624718first of all, blend the bottom of objects placed in the ground with the ground texture beneath it. Fix your broken ugly leaf material. Why is there even a palm growing in a desert with no water nearby???????????????Your terrain is also way too jagged, how does the background mountains look smoother than a few sand dunes?gj though, just needs some work.

>>498623594it's the diversislop character and his ridiculous name that ruin the shot, nothing else.imo the UI looks OKAY, definitely better than the sterile black and white rectangles in most games nowadays. at least it has *a* color (coffee brown). also the game mechanics described on the right sound fun enough, assuming they are robust and somewhat balanced.
>>498626130according to research the world is 99% minorities which means 99% of gamers are minorities which means we will make 99% of the profit if our game is minorities
>>498626593minorities don't want to play as minorities
>>498626792Uhh I wouldn't go so far, while I don't mind playing as a white guy I do choose to make my character as similar to me as possible. Slightly unrelated, but I still remember playing Infamous and my father asking why I would play as a white guy, at the time it kinda flew over my head, but later in life I understood how racist he is.
>>498626234I own a playstation 3 and one game.

>>498626534The guy seems middle eastern, should his name be Todd? For a game that's all 1930s Pulp styled, that guy fits in fine. The cartoony style was meh and the fact that the game wasn't much fun, is why it failed.

>>498628446It's true. Most people don't know this but once you make it, Gabe, Shiggy, Kojimbles and the other gamedev elites ritually sacrifice you and eat your body to absorb some of your gamedev powers to sustain themselves. All devs online activity after that is faked and any real life appearances are paid actors.
>>498628393You probably made the mistake of hiring 'voice actors' instead of 'actors'. Voice actors are just introverted weirdo losers who don't want to get a real job.

>>498626118I'm afraid so buddy.My theory is that agdg behaves like women, if they see a game that doesn't attack their ego or make them feel threatened they'll shower it with two-faced complements like "soul", much like how a group of girls will psyop a fat girl into thinking she's a 10 because they all know there's no actual threat there. But the moment an actual baddie shows up they get all bitchy and gossipy. You can see this with 'inner circle' shit and people responding to any semi-competently made game webm with 'slop' or 'asset flip'. It's pure female behaviour because agdg and gamedev in general is saturated with weak beta males and/or men who wish they were women.
>>498633380that's strange because my game looks better than all the other games posted here but they still call it soul

>>498633380No, people genuinely call soulful games soulful unless they're. Negativity is directed at bad looking games, half assed games, actual asset flips, and furry games from casual observation.
>>498631795Saved. I thought you both had a game in mind though.
How can I alternate between working on a walking animation and reverting back to the default pose to tweak something?
>>498633380>agdg behaves like women>artists usually are or act like women>agdg is filled with artistsi think u cracked the code
I encountered a problem which I have no fucking idea how to solve.My terrain is based on smoothed voxels because it allows for overhangs and caves that standard heightmap terrain doesn't have. It also allows the player to directly edit the terrain, which they will be doing a lot to dig and build. but how the fuck do I solve water? if the player can edit the terrain and there's just random cave openings the water would need to realistically flow but that's hard as fuck to make and I don't think there is a way to do that in 3d, large scale and realtime

>>498631778you not gonna make it anon...I not even started prototyping and I already have a steam page with 1k whislists
i did a little stress test with 300 units, it seems Unity's animators on each unit are the biggest bottleneck surprisingly. it seems the win/lose listener also bugged out and handed me a victory despite losing terribly, but i ended up fixing the underlying issue.
>>498635442>sees playful banter for the first time>can't comprehendMaybe you would prefer some fake complements.
>>498635273to be fair the stuff that people post on twitter is just looks like 80% of the time. ive tried a few of these games and they just were mehh but the visual fidelity was very good of course.
>>498633174>"like armored core">is in fact like the only game in the series that is not like armored coreas expected
>>498636423is this the hyena game? I can't really tell what the units are.Ask this anon for his secrets >>498619865, I assume after a certain distance you just turn off animations and replace everything with billboard sprites
>>498636423what's your game's unique feature?we already have 50000 total war games after all.
>>498636793Good visual fidelity is the price of entry these days. If your game looks like ass nobody will even give you the time of day.
>>498610825ok barneyfag
>>498636839yes, it is. the webm sucks sadly because of the filesize restrictions.i think doing a full culling system like that is a bit too much for me, i'm not a particularily good programmer. i've heard about limiting the animator refresh rates based on distance, it seems like the most viable option for me. it's just sad that they didn't implement such thing out of the box, there are even paid assets that do this kind of stuff but sadly i can't really afford them at the moment.
>>498636929the mass of units isn't really something i plan to implement as a core feature, it was just a test. the game's a mix between an RTT and an autobattler, i haven't quite seen anything like it yet and i've also heard from a few people that the controls are great and easy to pick up.
>>498636952people prefer a fun game that looks like ass over an hyper juicy looking game that's as hollow as an empty basket case, though. this is the case for most twitter games out there.
>>498635273Right, it's amateur. If you actually want to make money you need to look up game sales, find games that make a million or two, and you have to make your game as polished and full as that, if you have any hope of making a million or two. You can't compare yourselves to agdg which fail horrifically. With a few exceptions. But even looking at those exceptions, make a game as polished and full as them, it's not easy. And they clearly stand apart from the majority. vyddn
>>498636423>it seems Unity's animators on each unit are the biggest bottleneck surprisinglyThat's probably because animating a mesh is done by building a new mesh in the animated position, then sending it to the GPU as if it was a static mesh.300 animated units mean building and uploading 300 times.Unity has an option to do the building GPU-side (with ComputeShaders) instead of entirely CPU-side (although iirc it's still gimped by doing a full back-and-forth), might help to toggle it on.Otherwise there isn't much solution bar LOD. Lower poly meshes mean faster building and uploading. Setting the far models' animator to use 2 or 1 bones instead of the default 4 also reduce calculations, generally with no visible loss if they are far enough.>>498636839>Ask this anon for his secretsI don't mind sharing, but going from Unity's default animator/skinnedmeshrenderer system to what I use is a massive step in autism and amount of work.I did it because that's my game main gimmick, but I wouldn't advise it for a regular RTS.There are a few plugins that seems to be able to do it for you (Rukhanka, notably) but I never used them so no idea how easy they are to setup.>>498636929>we already have 50000 total war games after allCurrently active I can only remember this Hyena game, Hyper Coven, and mine in the RTS category.Which others do we have currently?
So where is this mythical /gdg/ where crabs don't exist and yesdevs flourish and make millions?

>>498627871anon...
someone pls explain to me why you would use unity over unreal engine.seems like unreal engine is superior in every department, except for some people subjectively preferring c# over c++. Unreal even has node based blueprints too, which can really help.I understand it if the reason is "china bad", but is there a practical reason? genuine question as I'm interested in making a game. is Unreal just way harder than unity maybe? I know unreal has a stuttering problem but that only seems to be a problem in games that really push your hardware.
>>498627907Kill yourself
>>498636423Neat, I like it. Battle Arena game?
>>498638438Because Unreal is full of a lot of bloat. Unity is too, but it's not to the extent of Unreal. It's easier to modify Unity than it is Unreal in that sense.
>>498610145>progressadded a flak cannon, which behaves differently from the other gun options in the game so farthe flak cannon creates an area-of-effect damage zone near the player's cursor instead of firing a projectile in the direction of the cursoras more weapons are being added to the game each one is developing a role and personalitythe current armament lineup is:-> plasma cannon: the default loadout. medium firing rate, efficient to use, damage scales with player multipliers-> machine gun: always does 1 damage, but spits out bullets at a rate of about 10 per second. good for boss killing because boss armor means they only take 1 damage anyway-> lasers: these pierce through multiple targets and their cost scales with their damage-> rockets: these are basically expensive glorified plasma cannons that deliver 8 plasma shots to a single location-> flak: these area-effect cannons excel in quickly dispatching the lower-hp airborne threats that usually have higher mobility, or targets with a large hitboxwill probably end up adding another 2 or 3 weapon types to continue fleshing out the arsenal before early access launch

>>498627907>How does Zbrush compare to Blender?night and day difference, and i'm saying this as mostly a Blender apologist.Blender lacks so many brushes and features that ZBrush has, so the end result always looks messy and lumpy in comparison. ZBrush has many features to mitigate those effects, whereas Blender does not.just pirate ZBrush, for it's purpose it's the best tool around. the only downside is that it has the worst UI i have ever seen in a 3D program, but you can get around that with patiencd.
Anyone here working on/has made a point-and-click? Preferably something more in line with old SCUMM games. What engine did you use? I know there's a bunch of bespoke stuff like Adventure Game Studio, but it is pretty old and inflexible. Tools like Visionaire Studio seem better but are paid. I'm nowhere near clever enough to code something from scratch or even in a program like Godot, but I do have the ability to do all the art and writing for the project.
>>498627907You aren't doing midpoly.
>>498639694>look inside>early access
>>498639938i forgot to add, but Blender's performance is also terrible for sculpting. it starts shitting itself at more than 500k+ tris, which for a sculpt isn't a lot, while ZBrush can go above and beyond with little performance loss.

Less out of wanting to be an RTT and more because I'm using elements from Warzone 2100's structure.>what are you using for animating the units? They are batch rendered as static meshes, and all animating is done directly inside the shader.Animations are stored in textures, and BoneWeights need to be baked into the mesh's optional UV channels (as those are normally kept CPU-side so the shader wouldn't see them).

It seems you're using crowd simulations where in my case i'm simulating unit AI behaviours individually. anyway, since i'm a codelet i'm probably just gonna stick to animator LODs, maybe even make some multi-threading compatible code for the distance checks for more performance
>>498639856Gonna crab for a moment here because Marmoreal and One Armed Bandit could have used this type of feedback before flopping, and you've already posted a trailer so I'm assuming this is meant to be a commercial product and not a personal hobby thing.>LOOKSThis game looks bad. Visually, it looks like garbage in every webm (shit pixelart that's barely animated) look at the environment here, look at the tile set.The first thing noticable about the art is that it appears low effort. It looks like this was done in a day. When I saw the trailer you posted, as soon as it cut away from the parallaxing background images and showed the gameplay there was a remarkably steep drop in quality that anyone who watches your trailer will notice.>GAMEPLAYI'm sure the appeal here is that you upgrade and get lots of particles and shit on the screen and feel powerful and accomplished but it looks really boring. You're not even having to dodge anything you just sit there and click where the enemies are. Braindead gameplay, I know this isn't a big deal since brainrot sells really well lately but I wouldn't even want to play a demo of this it looks absolutely boring.That's all I've got. Consider yourself crabbed.
>>498638557a MOBA you mean? probably not, since youre commanding multiple units. for reference think of an extremely simplified version of this https://store.steampowered.com/app/7830/Men_of_War/
>>498642913honestly i think it looks fine, but id change the black inside the walls, maybe have it gradually turn darker when its closer to the edge of the screen
>>498642913>actual feedbackYou should do this for every 'commercial release' game here.
>>498640008Visionaire is good but paid. It is cheap however and doesn't have subscription bullshit. Godot and Unity both have Adventure Game engines as well that are free for commercial use with credit.Even so, the actual gameplay of a point and click is so simple with even no coding knowledge that you wouldn't really need any of these for anything except inventory and puzzles.

>>498642451Yeah I was thinking that, same for loot and keys. If it's pitch black you can't see them as is at the moment. I was also thinking of adding a light the player can use when it's too dark but it obviously lights you up so you can't use it with guards around.

>>498643415I know you have probably come too far to change the fundamental problems with this game (its ugly + boring) but at least now you'll know what went wrong when it doesn't sell. I can't save you from a bad release (I won't buy your game) but I can help you spend less time on your post mortem reddit post.
i am dirt brokewe're talking 200-300 a week dirt broke because i'm stuck at home for family reasonsHow viable is it to invest learning game development as a small source of income in the long term if i'm an absolute nobody? The reason why i'm looking at this in general is because i remember liking messing with shit like rpg maker 2003 decades ago, both mario maker games, and so on but i know full well those are casual programs. I gave programming a chance numerous times and I got fed up with it every time, so I know the answer is probably "don't bother", but it's worth an ask I guess.
>>498644159>too far to change the fundamental problems with this game (its ugly + boring)There’s usually one simple fix to make a boring game enticing --- every enticing game is just one clever touch ahead of being boring ---- the trick is to find that one idea.That being said I think the shield mechanic in AMAZOOM is pretty fun desu
>>498644359How bout webmonkey if youre just doing it for money and not fun?
>>498643415smells like cope
>>498644359It's a big question bro. With a whole lot of caveats. People make money in game dev from deving, and youtube channels talking about deving, and channels teaching to dev and asking for money. Your ability to stand out in any of these fields is up to your innate abilities. Your charisma, beauty, intelligence, industrious behavior.
>>498644359The most reliable money is in dead boring developer jobs. If gamedev can motivate you to get the skillset, then I guess…
Is there really a downside to releasing a game that sucks or is ugly? Putting a game on Steam is very cheap and even if no one buys it, if it's just your hobby then who cares, at least you might get some external feedback or make SOME money even if very little.
>>498644957Wouldn't even say its dead boring, depends on you and the workplace. I personally kinda like my job (mostly webdev, ERP). I might just be lucky that the people I work with are cool.
>>498644359You can make something cool with minimal coding experience depending on genre. Those genres however are also unlikely to make you a lot of money, like adventure games they are niche genres.
>>498644984For external feedback I would recommend DD.As for making money, you will certainly not even recoup the steam listing fee.
>>498645159Yes, there is in fact more money in developer jobs that are NOT boring; but those are harder to find.
>>498644359Also do a mobile game if you end up doing games.
>>498642793>It seems you're using crowd simulationsNot really. Each soldier has it's own AI and can go do whatever the fuck it want anywhere.The only crowd-ish behaviour are the formation's shape (square/line/etc), and is this just done just by giving each soldier as slightly offset target position when you click to move a squad somewhere.>maybe even make some multi-threading compatible code for the distance checks for more performanceIf you are in Unity, check Burst & Jobs (don't bother with their ECS API, even if a lot of the documentation try to make it look like they can only be used together).It add some C-style constraints on C#, but in exchange you get some massive code performance boost and it's made for multi-threading.My game would run at slideshow framerate without those two.

>>498645794He says he's been working on it on and off, that implies it is just a hobby game and that he isn't working on it full time and instead working on it every now and again.IMO if he's not making any promises, isn't taking anyone's money, and isn't complaining, he can take as long as he wants. That's not a problem with Godot or anything.

>>498649040Are you one of those fags who puts their head in their hands and gets all red and upset and sighs really loud because you're too retarded to study & retain information?If you can't pass an exam it's because you didn't learn. This might be because you didn't try hard enough, or because you have a disability, but either way if you can't do the test you're a loser.I remember we had an Italian student who had done the first year or two of his education in Italy, and he bragged about being much more educated and intelligent than everyone else. We received our exam statics exam, and you could feel the humiliation radiating off of him as he slowly flipped through each page, reading the entire exam front to back, then silently stood up and left without so much as writing his name on it. He dropped out after that, kek.

Man, honestly watching a course on european warfare between 7-17 century was extremelly cool to get new ideas for my enemies.Like the types of weapons they have, all really amazing new ideas.Now I want to make my dificulty curve to be centered around each major warfare era.Basically:>Prehistory (mostly fist and kicks, stones, javalins, bows, maces)>Ancient era (mostly greek phalanx, egyptian charriots, jew slingshots, chinese monks)>Medieval era (armored knights, vikings using rounded shield with swords, warhammers, boxers, grapplers)>Late Medieval (spanish tercios, carcacolas, landsknetch, gerndarmies, muskets, pikes)>Napoleonic era (bayonets, early machine guns, canons)>XX century (WWI and WW2)>Final boss (Late XX century and XXI drone stuff)This should be a nice dificulty spike for my arcade setting.

>>498651209Maybe that just Unity import being retarded, but not only she has a bajillon bones that do nothing (that one is classic with IK system, but it's cranked to 11 here - there is like 12 duplicate arm/leg/spine/etc bones).Also the bone that actually control the forearm is not one under the shoulder bone in hierarchy, which is apparently not solvable. Even when forcing it, it seems like half the forearm is controlled by some random other bone that I couldn't identify - so at best I managed to get weird noodle arms.Maybe I'm retarded tho. I'm not used to have to troubleshoot humanoid models very far. Usually it's just a matter of correcting on two bones the auto-binding system got wrong. Here the auto-binding picked completely random shit (including hairs in some parts) and having to test manually which of the 12 duplicate bones is the one actually doing anything is a bit beyond me. No idea if I'm doing this the wrong way of if it's actually as borked as it look.

>>498653764watching a long play of the remake had a good idea for dungeon hallways might do some as a hexagon instead of a square
I still can't get over how brutally we've all been gamedevmogged by a fucking femoid
>>498652349That's because understanding math and using math are two different things and not many people know how to teach the understanding part. Schools teach formula memorization without explanations, you're just remembering visual patterns at that point which are not very useful outside of the rigid question and answer format they give you.Game dev isn't even about math, that's engine dev. Outside of knowing some trig, easing functions and basic vector operations, you really don't need math to make games. Knowing how to follow a flowchart and make a program out of it is 1000x more important.
>>498653376>>498653596The future isn't certain and nobody can tell you how your life will turn out. It's truly pathetic to see young people like you sapped of their spirit and ambitions, begging online anywhere people will listen to have their desires, experiences and thoughts processed like goyslop and for an answer to be given for them to obey.If you take a business degree and don't get a good job, at least then it was anons fault cause you were just doing what he told you.Fuck off retard, game dev is not for you because creativity comes from the soul (you are a husk with no hope)You want a good job? Take a trade if you're in the first world. It's difficult for ten years then you can work in an office and more than your cuck friends with Masters in sociology. Suffer now or you can suffer now AND later. Most important takeaway here is throw in the towel on game dev and stop posting in this thread.

>>498654568>>498655015>>498655471This cope gets tiring. Of course tiny glade is not a game. People are still playing StarCraft 26 years later. Without gameplay you might as well shart into a toilet for all the good it's gonna do you. Sure they made some money but with that player retention I don't see how they can sustain themselves with that pile of shit. Keep in mind it needs to pay for the development expenses + the living expenses of two people in probably some first world shithole. And that's on top of the fact that it's an extremely niche game that only women with a lot of disposable money would buy AND the fact that they already exhausted that target audience with the launch AND the fact that they intend and are expected to keep adding shit to the game for no additional profit
None of you are seething over Townscaper. Y'all are just sexist chuds

>>498657668Goyim need to know their place.
>>498657635Probably because it's easy to decide if you like the game or not within the refund window and it's a love it or hate it genre
>>498657635Probably because you can tell if you like it right away, it's literally a diorama sim, you'd have to be a mongoloid to have this running for 2 hours and not realize you don't want it

>>498657841>>498657845yeah but it's not like people were holding guns to their heads and forcing them to refund it. Marmoreal is also shorter than the refund window and yet it didn't incite almost any refunds, especially not ones who were pissed enough to leave reviews
How do you balance your own game anon?
>>498658119I looked at the negative reviews and only half of the ones I saw refunded it you're schizophrenic
I wonder if it's made by the same guy as the originalyou think your games will be able to surpass this meme?
>>498658251half is still an unusually high ratio
>>498656634yes, you probably make another steamworks account pay another 100$ and transfer the app to that account. an llc isn't super necessary if you don't want it though
>>498631795>nsfw>shows only pantiesLol
>>498658327Do you have a single fact to back that up
>>498658119The only people that bought Marmoreal were the faggots in this general. It's like having your own friends and family vote for you in an election.
>>498658412I'm also a part of this general and if I had bought Marmoreal I would have refunded it and left a negative review. The only reason I didn't is because I have no money.

>>498655157>how's your dev cycle going?Current "cycle" is about tweaking everything from bottom to top.I made an attempt at a strategic-level AI that would move troops around, defend/attack objectives, etc - all the shit needed so there is actually a game to play. It didn't go well, mostly because it had very little tool and infos to work with. So I have to revamp everything AI-related starting from the lower levels, so that each tier of AI get more options about what it can do and what it know - hopefully this way the strategic AI will be able to do more that just throwing its biggest squads at the nearest enemy.Current objective for this week is to roughly copy-paste DoW1's stance system to replace my current mess of possible combat-related soldier behaviors.

Demo Day as a concept is so genius and precious that I'm honestly not surprised that the niggers here completely ruined it and it became borderline worthlessAs a rule, whodev games should never be played (this is both because of viruses and because the increased number of games is the main reason why people stopped playing all the DD games) but as you can see it's too late to save anything anymore. It's over.

It's always funny to see agdg having no clue that a game with good toon graphics, an original premise and basically the same concept as those dioramas kids make in school where they put bugs and some ferns inside a bottle would sell.There's a lot of ideas that aren't about killing some dudes or killing imaginary monsters that are also cool comfy experiences.Literally here are some cool ideas.Those ships in a bottle, but maker.Those racing games with RC cars toys.Watching ants fight.Making paper airplanes.Flying kites.Walking around a nice park looking at the scenery.Making a bonsai.Making a garden.Lawning your moan.Cleaning your room.Going to shoop groceries.Polishing shoes for money.Recycling garbage.Cleaning a street.Cleaning a river of trash.Game centering about mining and finding gold.Game about studying and discovering bugs and plant species in the forest.A fashion game.A game about yoga.A game about designing shoes and jewerly.A game about having a haircut.A game about owning a store.A lot of people like a lot of things not normally considered "combat".

Big Progress Later today. I'm talking groundbreaking.
>>498660116Original demo day was invaluable because it was a community of 30-40 devs who gave each other a lot of feedback. You reach the end of the 2010s and Covid and suddenly a lot of green newfaggots decide they can make games. /agdg/ demo counts spike drastically and just keep climbing. You start consistently getting Demo Days with 100+ participants. Nearly half of these "people" don't post in the thread or haven't posted in it in years. Sense of community erodes. Instead of the community-building event where you're excited to play your internet buddies' games now it's just another soulless broken system where everyone is trying to fuck everyone else over and get a lot of great feedback without ever bothering to leave good quality feedback on other games. People started coming in thinking they can exploit and game the community's high trust and that killed the cohesion. Now you're lucky if you get two good feedbacks in a single DD.
cris shut the fuck up
>>498660713But anon half this thread is neets/nodevs posting non stop surely that affects this more than who devs
>>498660713>it's the stupid "if I don't know them, then they're a whodev!" idiot againgo fix your memory issues moronyou're part of the problem with this place
>>498660713jokes on you, i didn't get two feedbacks even back then
>>498660713This entire situation is also the entire reason why it's important that /agdg/ should be a community instead of an impersonal hangout spot for losers, and why the second it lost its old qualities it completely lost its point. The community feeling meant that the participants had a stake in keeping this place clean and constructive. They had built it from the ground up and they realized just how valuable the constructive spirit is to feed the projects of the participants. However the problem is that the most competent talented and motivated people eventually leave because their qualities lead them to success which means that over time the only long-staying presences that are going to stick around are terminal bottom feeders (Marmo, cris, etc) who have zero constructive spirit and have no problem letting the general go to complete shit because they are not white and don't understand what preservation or conservation means. This is why agdg just naturally decays over time.

>>498661393Oh you know exactly who I am and what my game is my friend. You're just too afraid to say it.
Hey I have an idea..What if we split the general?
>>498661496cris and there is no game
>>498660713How new are you? There's more feedback than ever now because around the 40s, the threads started to realize that it would be nice to do feedback for not just the top games, but all the games. This is also around the point where Sober hadn't returned in over a year and so people started to take up streaming to fill in his absence. There's also nothing wrong with new members to the community. What an absurd position to hold. There's only a handful of people who submit to DD that aren't a part of the community. They're negligible. We have more real devs submit than people who want to sabotage DD.
distributed authority will be cool if Unity adds ECS supportunrelated: i miss goggem and rotato
>>498661013You're the one who has memory problems since you have so little mental capacity that you still don't remember my game despite it appearing in 5 demo days and don't realize who I am despite my posting style being absurdly obvious.
>>498661817don't give a fuck about people who submitted ages agopost progress in the thread and submit to dd whatever you have you lazy bastard
Truthfully, Cris is in the top half of the developers here. Most of the people shitting on him are just mad that a retard has made far more progress than they ever will. That's mostly because they are cowards, afraid to even try, lest their sub-par results challenge their immense and fragile egos. So they just sit on the side lines of life, whining and crabbing.
>>498661646I have been here for a long time and I have yet to see any benefits for this on any of my demos. My game is constantly ignored and forgotten by everyone. This is through no fault of my own. I did everything I could, exceeding anything that could be reasonably expected from any dev, the place has just gone to shit.
>>498662054okay cris
>>498661919I'm talking strictly about demo days after DD50. You still have no idea who I am.
Thoughts on this format for making a project?>1 Level>2 Enemies>3 Weapon Types>1 BossWait for feedback if people like it keep going.
>>498662184If you can't see that half the people here are too much of an emotional midget to even try, you are likely among their ranks.
>>498662317Just make the game, anon. What are you even asking? For all I know, you've overscoped and can't finish this.
>>498656018if you've only just uploaded then it may not believe you yet
>>498662170sorry, I'll post some more fake engagement here next time, dweeb
>>498662385okay cris
>>498660713As long as 4chan has existed, there have been delusional fags pining for some imagined state the site used to be in. 4chan was always terrible and will always be terrible.
ur games suck and id never play or give feedback on any of them
>>498662387I get obsessed about modularity and structure of my project and get burnt out and figured this might help me actually finish something.
>>498662594yesdevs got plenty of attention up to just a few years ago. Now you can't even get a foot in the door. This place doesn't give a single shit about games of game developers. You are all terminally ill and obsess over the status symbols of the hobby instead of actual game making. Every single yesdev ran away and now there's only bottom feeders
>>498662694Hey kid, wanna discuss modularity and project structure?
>>498662968And spending 3 weeks on the character controller so it feels nice and tight.
>>498662132>>498662931
>>498662931can a yesdev train me in the ways of low and mid poly? :3
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2757300/PLUG_IT_IN/Do you think this game would sell?
>>498663098he always does this, pretends like he has a game that gets ignored, it's pathetic
just make game and if it is cool it'll be paid attention to here. stop this whining.
>>498663098I'm sure if you just plug your ears and go lalallalalaallala for the rest of your life you can successfully avoid this problem forever
I would never want to be labeled as gamedev lmao.
>>498661496Kalemonvodev can you send me one of the blend files of your monsters? I want to run the animations in my D1 blender rendering setup and then process the frames thru the D1 palette to see how they'd look.
>>498662931>complains about not getting enough attention>complains that people only care about getting attentionyou cant make this stuff up
I wasn't sure where to take this game and I had a few concerns about its future "strategic depth" potential, but I have a few ideas now. For now, your troops revive on a timer so the fight isn't entirely decided in the first three seconds by whatever is happening in the melee fight, and the goal of the battle is to push in and destroy the enemy crystal/tower/whatever.
>>498663386False interpretation of what I'm talking about. Laughable
>>498663521I accept your concession.
>>498663053Only 3 weeks?
>>498663448As soon as I see lolis or anime, I am not interested.This game could of probably been cool if you had some fantasy races as the warriors. Some cool warriors. But you have maids. That's not cool.
>>498663334Hmm, you have a pipeline to make 2D sprite-sheets from 3D models? How hard was that to set up?
>>498663386real, bro is like "grrr look at me i'm a who dev who won't show you my game" meanwhile i'm a nodev that consistently makes progress in making assets
Gonna work on my level editor, realize it's fun to use on its own, polish it up, release it on its own without a game, get 10,000 reviews, and watch agdg seethe about it.
>>498663448That's one sexy crystal. I'm mirin' that pixel art.
>>498663756Extremely easy, I use a mix between files made by Diablo 1 and 2 modders and run the results through the D1 graphics tool (from DevilutionX git) to apply the palette. The trick is that you don't need to denoise or remove AA when applying the palette, by running the sprite through the D1 graphics tool it's gives the authentic weird navy blue colors in place of transparent pixels. I have prerender autism so my biggest gripe with your game is that it's 3d.
>>498663448As soon as I see lolis or anime, I am interested.Unfortunately I do not see any lolis or anime, so I am not.
Man, the cool thing about history of warfare is to realize that there's not an infinite number of weapons.We simply invent more modern better versions of them.We only have infantery, cavalliers and siege weapons.We simply have stronger versions of those types.
FUCK ALL OF YOUFUCK YOUGET FUCKEDI'M DONE
>>498663263ZUN is that you?
>>498664528quitting already? pathetic
>>498664528see you tomorrow
>>498664510great, another topic cris will obsess over and spam here instead of working on his game
>>498664392>I have prerender autism so my biggest gripe with your game is that it's 3d.Yeah same and that’s my biggest gripe with ToK as well. My own game is Hypercoven and I hope to get a full set of pre-rendered sprite-sheets eventually.
>>498664510Cris make your fucking fighting game
>>498663448Cavalry does not work that way. They attack from the sides and no amount of training can get a horse to directly charge a line of infantry with spears pointed at them. That's why the counter to cavalry is to form square so there's no 'side' to attack, but then the enemy infantry just rolls over you.
>>498663448These Crystals look good.
>>497373093 [Sunday record #40]Time: 0h
>>498664782Picrel is what I mean about "navy blue" anti aliasing in the Diablo 1 palette. I'm not familiar with your game, but Kalemonvo dev is based and an inspiration to Diablo autists.Care to show me a screenshot?
>its another day of godot works like shit for no reason
>>498662968yesim doing runtime compilation but i also want Burst so i'm going to do something stupid like spin up a cloud instance of Unity so it'll compile the bursted code and then join the game as a multiplayer user, then emit the bursted dll over to the host which can load it maybe>>498663047lolserves him right for selling achievements as DLC

>>498663448this course will teach you the fundamentals of tactics when using units in a battle.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4VoyER2bxcTY_74KpNHDdI3ME8atrylwLike the other anon said, cavarly does something like a side flank attack instead of a frontal shock attack.Also, muskets meta is to do a square units where they shoot while slowly advancing, so the front ranks shot while the back ranks reload.Also, you're mixing infantery charges of high middle ages with the bayonet tactics of napoleonic wars.Infantery didn't charge using swords towards a napoleonic squad.lol.you're mixing 17 century units with middle age ones.you're lacking the pikers to defend versus cavallier maids.Also, you need to use more maid types.Having the french maids only is boring.You need also the english maids, the maid leotard types, the japanese and chinese maids.This webm pleases my autismo, but it lacks more autismo.
my parents called me ugly. I hate them
>>498665697kys
>>498663448oh shit anon is that yours?nah. probably not. would have been cool though
Reminder
>>498665260It’s an RTS, pic rel are all current units. I’ve just scraped sprites from the internet so far.
>>498663448As soon as I see maids, I am interested.And I see maids wielding military equipment, so I'm doubly interested.
>>498620771>Why not just find a woman who likes youThis only happens if you're a top 10% looks male. For the rest the woman will always be weighing her options and looking at the value you bring to her. She'll leave you the second she thinks she can do better. If you're rich she'll sleep with someone else but come back to you for your money.>>498621367Thinking women are capable of love is a mistake. It sets you up for failure. It gives her the power to ruin your life.
>>498663448The people who like this kind of game and would be starved enough to give yours a choice do not like tranime little girls, those who do are busy playing genshim impact, zen zone zero, blue archive, etcYou will flop, just like marmo you are warned
>>498663448>>498665697I forgot, you're lacking defensive options like trenches or spikes or walls.And you're lacking siege weapons and bizantine grenadiers.
I just want to get enough money so I can stop working so I won't need to interact with people. I hate people so fucking much. If I get filthy rich i'll buy a house away from all of them and live there alone. Then I might buy a gun and shoot myself eventually
>>498666352except people love girlds und panzer.
>>498666485whats the point of getting filthy rich then
>>498666293>weighing options and the value you bringthat's everyone in every relationship
>>498663448Did you think about having line of sight for the musketeers so that they cannot fire through friendly units (or if they do, it would cause friendly losses)?The ability to shoot ahead of your allies could be limited to bowmen or units that can generally fire in an arc
>>498666665that is how you make a game unfun
>>498620310chad povbroooootal
>>498660713Demo Day was community-eroding from day 1.
how do i make game without combat ?
>>498666601To get away from people like I said. I probably will not kill myself immediately but what would I do with my life alone? Living is pointless.
>launch Fab as an engine agnostic asset marketplace>give away free shiny high quality assets that Unity and Godon't devs can't make effective use of in their own shitbox engines absolute master stroke by Timmy
The asset pack I'm using has so many words in it that have to get translated due to backend stuff. Holy shit, I only wrote around 1k max of these words.
>>498623434It's amazing how far up their collective asses their own heads are. They develop in this insanity bubble and once release comes reality slaps them in the face and then they have to scramble to come up with excuses when the facts are staring straight at them.
>>498663448I forgot.you need to add the british grenadier song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnrvK3zDlygThen your game will be 100/10 KINO.
enginedevs... i really really like this talkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc
>>498666797Games are about stimulating the fun bones in your head. Combat is just one of the ways of doing it. There are others like having an interesting plot, having puzzles, porn, allowing creativity, social elements etc. None works for every single person.
>>498666851thats why religion was invented to stop you from doing that and condemning yourself to hell for eternity
>>498654568Its not even a real gameI remember when Townscaper came out and it also had massive success

>>498667165Try searching her name. Don't they teach you retards anything in school these days?
>>498663334the post you replied to wasn't me, and i dont know why you thought it was i can send you a model though. here's the manticorehttps://files.catbox.moe/3cktkb.zippost results when you're able to, just mention tok or kalemonvo and ill ctrl+f when i check the thread next.
>>498667609No one puts in effort for me, it's always the other way around. People are black holes that suck out all the energy and use you as much as they can then toss you in the garbage. Everyone is the same.
>>498667646(You) want to convince (Me) that she's an enginedev. I have nothing to gain from searching for shit. I already found the official youtube channel and even went a little further when there was no relevant content on that channel. that's way more than I should have done, which is nothing.
>>498667039don't do it brodon't go down the dod rabbit holesoon you'll be writing massively parallel game engines to run no games on
two and a half hours of dev then it's walk time. Think I've made an inroad on my game balance equation.
>>498667315Nice soldier. My main idea is that you don’t gather resources, but rather the bases that you capture produce units "for free" and every base makes different units. So there are no "races." And on multiplayer maps, every starting position is different, and expansions have more varying value, depending on what units you already have you might want different ones to round out your composition, etc. Singleplayer so far are 2 arcade modes, nice for getting to know the units, but I am drafting campaign missions, too, just not sure yet how to best create difficulty in those.
>>498667997https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Anastasia+OparaRETARD
>>498668184What engine do you use? Are you on the agdg discord? Id be interested to see how you code an RTS if it's Godot or unity.
why do enginedevs cant spend years doing the whole rabbit hole of learning about ASM and libraries autismo, but I can't do the same but with humanities courses to get ideas for my games?
Appeal.
>>498667870I didn't really suspect it was you, just wanted to summon you for the model.
>>498668279Relax.
>>498667990Damn that sucks dude. Some days ago a guy wrote a long detailed post about how he would rape my game character and it felt nice to be appreciated.
There is almost no changes from last report, I did mostly internal maintenance.Tomorrow a friend is coming at home, I will try the 2 players mode for the first time. I hope it will be fun.
>>498668552I don't know, why can't you?
>>498620494The classic sprite-based games didn't have a framebuffer. Until the mid-90s at the earliest, the amount of memory needed for a framebuffer was just too expensive for most game machines. so there was no such thing as tearing, which is an artefact of framebuffer swapping. Strictly speaking there was not even such a thing as a single frame on the video side.The typical design had a background or two layer of tiled sprites, plus more movable sprites on top of it.They operated left to right, one video line at a time, synchronously with the display.Hardware capabilities were expended per video line. When you have flickering like in busy scenes in NES games, that's because the number of sprites in the same horizontal line was exceeded. They can not all be drawn and have to take turns being drawn on different frames.Some games implemented parallax scrolling or switched color palettes between lines mid-frame, making the most of the system.On early framebuffer games, they either 1. used vsync, 2. carefully kept time with the display or 3. actually did have screen tearing

should i quit gamedev? :(
>>498634304If anything it means that it was a marketing failure on the dev's part. This youtuber who's clearly into mecha games didn't even know it existed. He should've been on the list of tubers the dev should've reached out when he released the game. Had this guy made the video on launch it might've been enough momentum to carry the game into steam visibility metrics and push more sales.
>>498669556To do what?
>>498610145For some reason I get happy when I see schloppers buying overpriced triple A/I games and then>negative review>they could've added this to the first game they just made me pay twice don't buy!!!!lol as if they couldn't have figured that out to purchase they got what they deserved. these are probably the same losers who go spamming "how many hours" before purchasing a non triple A/I game. and you just know that no matter how many times they get screwed they will keep crawling back to triple A/I like some stockholm'd person

>>498669087Ah, an engine dev. Id say we should collaborate since you are a competent coder and I am an autistic artist but from the sounds of your game we have different ideas of an RTS
>>498670025what's your experience with 2D drawing. It's all the same skillset, if you know nothing about drawing you should learn the basics.That is, if you want to keep with the low poly style. This style is 80% texturing, and texturing is 100% drawing.The other option is high poly sculpting, but then you need actual sculpting skills.Pick your poison.
>>498670189good ;^)

>>498669513>>498669994I'm joking anon.nobody cares that you mix historical shit.
>>498669556Yes. Not because of your screenshot, but because gamedev is a waste of time for anyone and everyone. Your talents would be better off used on something actually productive. Even the much lauded success story devs would have been way more successful doing something else.

I'd be a millionaire in just a year if I did this. Funny, I remember years back how youtube demanded you reveal if someone sponsored the video, why would anyone reveal it? There's no legal reason that could force me to. I'd rather my fanbase assume I'm just some dude playing these games for fun and found a "hidden gem." I should've become a youtuber.

>>498670376being productive is TERRIBLE. I work a boring coding job making optimization software for a mining company. I get exhausted and unfulfilled, can't deal with programming after work so my gamedev routine that wasn't that good to begin with took an astonishing nosedive, months without progress. And now I spend all my money on MINIATURES that I'll never have time to finish PAINTING :(. Here's some that I painted last year.(Btw paining miniatures is extremely relaxing, you guys should try it sometime)
>>498651369yeah the genre is underserved. It's been years since the last Sonic one. Mario Kart 8 has a lot of content but is super old now. Most of the competitors like Speestorm are fairly lame and have no relevant or interesting characters. If you can make a good cast of anime cuties or furries or whatever, plus having a fun game, you can probably get some traction.

>>498672904I agree with this. That's why I'm blatantly having Elves, Dwarves, and other familiar things in my RPG.I see world anvil entries that try to go ultra unique and it just looks way too alien.Truth of the matter is that Elves speak to something real in our history.

>>498673024you basically need a bit of familiar and a bit of original. But don't go too alien. Like don't make a world full of 'le heckin' xenobiologically accurate slop monsters that slug around'. It's too alien to the Human experience.
>>498673024>>498673170I hate it when fantasy tries to be different for the sake of being different.
Elves are real and I will have an Elven wife.
Big progress coming soon guys. I'm fixing this problem as we very speak.
>>498668081simple, if i make the engine modular enough, other devs will use it to make their games

>>498674393it's not cucked if they pay you
>>498674393Nah, the most cucky thing you could do is making a game and letting other men play it.
