post progress or enter the shame cube
>>498738010by the time this thread is over . BIG progress from me. I've been working on it. IT is almost ready. I'm talking Notch tier progress.
Redotbros.... not like this.....
>>498738317no engine drama below this line________________________________________
sending good vibes to all lolidevs
I'm wagieing today, but still gonna go write scenario for my game during lunch and implement floating text above characters heads in the evening. Maximum efficiency for the Demo Day.>>498738051Incredibly based and progresspilled.

>>498738010I'll stick my blood dick in the shame cube.
oblique or zelder
>>498740617II offers better visibility.
Any Indians on /agdg/?
>>498740617II, but make the part of the walls close to the ground darker (so there's a gradient from ground/dark to ceiling/lighter, for an illusion of depth).
>>4987406172 is good, feels familiar. 1 gives me that rpg maker feeling where you can't go behind trees
>>4987406172 is better. but the low contrast is weird and the corners into the hallway are confusing.
>>498741579>1 gives me that rpg maker feeling where you can't go behind treessame
>>498740617I honestly hate both, but 2 is your only option if you're set on 2D. The only real solution is to go full 3D.
Can we get a general for TRUE amateur game devs? I'm talking assetflip unreal/rpgmaker slop
>>498740617I'm going to tell you something from personal experience: 2 looks like shit when you have long sprawling connected dungeons with doors between rooms that can be opened.If all your rooms are going to be self-contained and you have loading screen whenever you open a door, it's fine. But there's a reason Enter The Gungeon went for the first one.
>>498742112
man I've spent 2 weeks translating one of my apps. why can't everybody just English? I didn't even make the app in my own language, why would I make it in French or Spanish?if this doesn't improve my downloads, I'm not translating my game either.
>>498742437i look like this and say this
Whenever I play a genre different to my game I want to project hop, I should just stick to playing one genre
>gamemakerThis displeases messiah Muratori
>>498738450>Trying to integrate that loli model some Anon posted a few threads ago>pic related... guess my integration pipeline isn't as bug-free as I thought.
>using paid asset packs is le bad!>using ai is le bad!>using freesound and opengameart is le bad!>you MUST spend a billion hours learning how to draw hands instead of actually coding your game/spending a billion hours learning to code your game instead of drawing art for it!>and you must not collab with anyone!!>why? because uh... uhm... BECAUSE YOU JUST HAVE TO, OKAY?????Why is /agdg/ like this?
>>498743180>30 years in the industry>still no game>only thing he's done is be Jon Blow's sidekick on meme game The Witnessreminder that this is the fate of all enginetards
>>498744332it's like 3 dudes, the rest of us usually have 1 or 2 aspects of game dev we really like and just want to focus on that. Then just get free/paid/ai to do the other stuff, most of us don't care about being "real game devs"
>>498744332procrastinators, hobbycopers, nodevs, and/or spergs
>>498740617>>498742134Gungeon style works and doing 3d behind the scenes has some benefits.
I have infantry and mechas in my game, and there is is like a middle ground which are dudes in mecha suitsWhat is good name for those? cant think of anything good
>>498745164Power armor? Walkers?
>>498745164exosuits
>all those "developer vs game" posts on twitter with attractive people leveraging their faces to get more followers >if I were to do that I'd instantly lose over half my followersWhy even bother making it if you're ugly and balding
>Healed To DeathAdded some QoL features like making the text red if you can't use a piece of gear or equip a spell.
>>498745912just show your cat instead
>>498745912tbf 90% of them are ugly and delusional to top it off. not that im good looking, i myself am a ghoulish abomination, but at least i dont have the intention to poison the internet with such grotesque pictures.
What's so bad about using AI voices?
>>498745323walkers sounds nice, power armour is great in that its clear what is it but doesnt sound very cool>>498745619exosuits sounds pretty cool, might go with thatthanks anons
itch.io tweeted about my gamehttps://x.com/itchio/status/1846702668687069348
>>498746740sweet as bro!
>>498746740gmi!
>>498746524I'm pretty much required to use Ai voices, even if I had the money to pay voice actors I'm autistic and don't want to interact with them
>>498742531CHINESE WHERE?!?!?!?!?CAO NI MA!!! GWEILO
>>498747130
>>498742531>write all in-game text in an external file with json or perhaps even a nicer format like toml>write a script that goes through all of them and sends request to some free AI translation API, or even just ask ChatGPT to translate>write down the results in the same file>whole game translatedYou can program, right anon?You aren't doing all of this shit MANUALLY, like a sucker, right???
>>498729754>unity>blender>unity>godontgrim
>>498747398here's another lifehack for you: this obviously won't work for games that are either complicated or story-focused, but...do you even NEED to have text?How about NO text?https://store.steampowered.com/app/274350/Dropsy/
>>498747559>we will make the mc ugly as fuck that will help us sell our game
>>498747697that's the point of the story retardhe's ugly and scary and autistic and everyone hates him, but he shows he has a kind heart and does something good for every character and ends up befriending them
>>498747559>do you even NEED to have text?Yeah. It's an rpg with deep lore about ancient evil awakening
https://x.com/LetItMelo/status/1846607349512859826a Japanese dev from Japan did WHAT?!
>>498747825Ugly people are inherently evil, show one example of real life ugly people being good.
>>498747852>rpg with deep lore about ancient evil awakening but it's all non-verbal with icons, expressions and gesturesholy kino
>>498747942How can I tell people the cool place names in gestures?
>>498748174no names, just symbolic and minimal representation of its most striking feature
>>498747867Japanese devs... Daisuki!

how many likes is your game getting?

>>49874896865 reviews = 6500 sales
Unity 6 comes out tomorrowAre you going to upgrade your project, anon?
>>498749523no, everything breaks if I try to update it already
>>498748968Zero...
debugging is my life now. I've forgotten what it's like to dev
>>498749523No. I will upgrade when they have an AI that fixes all the errors that come with upgrading.
>>498749634debugging is fun though
Texturing... pain

>>498750883
>>498750883You know nothing. You are a bitch. You try to impose your rancid subhuman thoughts on others because you think your shitty life has any value but it does not. Leave that dev alone and go drink rat poison.
>>498751037no
WARNING: There is a big exodus of artists and gamedev to bluesky because Elon muskrat made it mandatory in the tos to give consent for your art/game to be used for AI generation, if you ever complained about "muh reach" everyone is starting from "scratch", now is a good time to start marketinghttps://x.com/shiinareii/status/1846672917582766246

>>498749776sometimes... I'm an artist however...
>>498751097>nek minute bluesky adopt the same policy
Making an rpg as a solo dev. Only can work on weekends. Family bothers me on weekends asking for help. Burnt out working 40 hours mon-fri and then 20 more on weekends, plus dealing with family. Want to quit job but not brave enough. Maybe after I get animations working and the game 80% complete I should quit. Just hold on until then. Keep pushing through depression and burn out. Try to stay focused at normal job to not get fired. Or at least have good enough performance to get hired back if game fails.
>>498752380Normal game dev feels.
i need a gamedev partner, bad
>>498752463Ya, just gotta keep on keeping on. Maybe once I get a Preview I can get some wishlists, and then better gage by the reception if I should quit and go full time or not.
>>498752507same.
>>498753063The more I see the image, the more it makes sense. They understand each other so well. Yet many people here will make the mistaken interpretation that they should collab.
>>498753063>>498753254it's just not possible for us, we're not made for it, we will always be alone

Another day, another inch forward. Added simple logic for special room generation.
>>498753709It still looks bad thougheverbeit.
>>498751097who cares, i'll never go to troonsky
I must be doing something wrong on why i spend most of my day either jacking off or scroll youtube right? Nothing excites me anymore.I spent the last 5 years doing my entire compsci degree at home thanks to covid and I graduated with only 2.9 GPA and can't code for shitI can't make projects on my own and I'm always glued to tutorials after tutorials. Like, what's the point? I'm only lying to myself and potential employer. Okay, i can spend the day practicing leetcode, then what? I don't even want to apply for jobs anymore. I tell myself that I'm happier making games on unity but again, i can't make anything without looking at a tutorial. I just want to do something other than looking at porn and taking naps, and having hard time sleeping at night because things keeps piling up for the other day. I either do chores around the house or jack off to chatbots, that's it. I can't even make myself to draw some pixel art to supposedly try to relax.I don't exactly want a job. I did a 12 months of unpaid internship with 4 hours of commute back in 2023 and I don't want to do that shit anymore. I just want to find an income and move out, and the only source I have at the moment is localizing indie games to Indonesian for free. I'm tired of being a pushover living with my family, I do errands for my younger siblings, or delivering messages between my divorced parents. isn't that fucking pathetic?
>>498753897Dude shut the fuck up and make a game. I hate you fucking self deprecating zoomers.
>make an account on bluesky just to reserve my username, just in case>default birthday is 2004 instead of 1990 >"wtf that's not even legally>oh..."
>>498753425Can I pound your prostate?
>>498753425Look at those holes bouncing, reminds me of this gif. Idk if I can post gifs, we'll find out.

Is armorpaint good for you?
>>498752507Same, except gamedev partner (female) (cute) (girlfriend)
>>498754392To be fair, there’s a new captcha here. The rest is on you. Good thing you’re a game dev and not a socialite.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T CASH IN LIKES AND WISHLISTS FOR US DOLLARS!? MY FRICKIN LANDLORD NEEDS HIS RENT SOON!
>>498754720>he doesn’t remember when twitter paid you for engagement
>>498751641https://bsky.app/profile/t1kosewad.bsky.social/post/3l6ostftt4v2tBig Japanese artists are moving there, it's over.
>>498753897Everyday some depressed retard posts a huge story about their pathetic life guess what faggot being a loser doesn't qualify you to make games it disqualifies you. You can't even go a single day without losing yourself to porn and medias unironically GIVE UP and FUCK OFF you don't deserve to post in any hobby general because you have no hobbies you have nothing you're a human pit. It's exhausting just being aware that you exist I can only imagine what your poor family has to deal with.
>>498755009This guy isn’t big. He’s just autistic and draws every day.
>>498755097Copium.
>>498748968this is what awaits you, twitter devs.this is what all your circle jerking, f4f grifting gets you.this is the path you chose.

>>498755815the website is overloaded because of traffic
>>498751097I'd rather use Mastodon.
>>498755918>home page is full of Japanese cartoon avatar losers trying to make internet friendsYou have my interest
>>498751097why did God decide to make runa so pretty?
>>498756038Your "advice" makes no sense since I'm not willing to buy SFM pornHonestly sounds like you just want more SFM porn to be made, not that you have my best interest in mind while giving that "advice"
>>498756725I'd guess, for the same reason he decided to make her a tattoo artist. She's a living art-piece.
>want to quit 4chan>remember that there's a 4% chance the thread will be good and not garbagethis is gambling
>>498753897Why do you think people care that you're a loser. You sound fucking gay. Sorry you weren't bullied and now act like a fucking weirdo. Stop programming, read Plutarch's Lives, replicate great men of old, be better.For people wondering how to get off the tutorial tit though, just use chatgpt to help plan new systems. At first chat will help so much you'll be happy with it, but in time you'll become faster at most things without chatgpt and a real dev. You can still go back for hard cases or some ideas, but for most things it's easier to just program on your own.
>>498748968500 i think it's the most one of the characters has ever got, gameplay or download links less than 50. Suffice to say, kill me.
>>498757181>want to quit /agdg/>remember that there's a 0.01% chance Tomo will postIt's a chance I'm willing to take.
>>498755675Modern web design is already peak. There's no reason to change it.
>>498757181And that's why we play.
4 guys played the demo for like 6 hours straight.5.5 chaos-level, holy fuck
>>498757578>4 guysthe entire boomer shooter playerbase...
>>498757635na theres enough
>>498757883is this steam stats or your own botnet thing ?
>>498757578Is it wise to allow for a 6 hour demo? Is it just like, one level unlimited time?
>ProgressI've add a few new moves to the fighter.- Reverse punch, reverse kick and a head butt.The skybox is temporary as I am just experimenting with a few ideas as well as the red torso texture.

I'm polishing my game now. Fixing all those little snags like UI that doesn't quite fit or things that look weird or out of place.I'm not far from having the finished look.
>>498758079its like the base game, you can play as long as you want but its just the first 2 levels, the median gametime is about 30 mins (which is more than i even expected)>>498757948steam stats
>>498753737
>>498757883>>498757578nice
It took me a couple of years but I'm starting to realize that my ideas aren't actually as good as they seemed in my head at the beginning of my journey. And that I don't actually have anything good to contribute to this industry.
>>498758472Looks good except this thing looks weird to me for some reason.
>>498758187the building looks better than when i last saw it
>>498753425>that characterTrying a new style?
>>498758710Well? Post those ideas.
>>498758710the plight of the ideaguy>I don't actually have anything good to contribute to this industry.dont say that anon, refine them and test them out, no idea is perfect from the start

>>498745986how was the indie game clinic feedback?
>>498759521Sex with the pink girl in your picture!
My diet is clean which is why my code is cleaner, my art prettier, and my ideas more creative.Stop eating slop. Garbage in, garbage out.Also sleep 8 hours and exercise daily.Also I'm making a pixel platformer

>>498759521cute maid
>>498760910based bokudev
feels like all the low hanging fruit has been picked already.
Right-handed coordinate systems are cringe.
>>498761195Why?
I'm fiddling with a turnbased, tactical rpg and I'm looking for advice on the design. The units have a set amount of action points, and the player directly moves their units like in Valkyria Chronicles and Mario + Rabbids.What I'm having trouble figuring out at the moment is how to handle the skill selection. For this kind of game, would it be better to use a hotbar/quick button combination or to use a menu?
>>498760910No way. I don't want to risk extending my life.
>>498760403lol exactly, once a loser always a loser. No hope
>>498760403 >>498761516Where is your game?
>bluesky isnt blocked in russia and brazilBrics sistes just cant stop winning
>>498761516You sound like a woman
>>498761048>bocchi the millennial
>>498761676You seem like a fella who understands appeal. You don't need to defend those "people" who trauma dump and whine.
>>498761946FYI X is no longer blocked in Brazil.
if Bluesky is soon to be the new twitter then we better get some dank aggydaggy memes trending there fast
>>498762060>bluesky isnt blocked in russia Russian sistes just cant stop winning
>>498762175Only devs are going over there, no one who will buy our games
>>498761979It's a woman's job to judge. So if in this case my judgement comes across that way, so be it. Nobody wants to reproduce with some fucking cry baby who dumps their problems on others. Speaking of sounding like a woman, that's what sounds like a woman. "wah wah wah life is unfair." Women always fucking whine for no reason. They are allowed to however because they have pussies. Men are not allowed such luxuries. "I can't stop sleeping and jerking off wahhhh I'm poor little retarded baby." Fuck off with that shit. It's probably fake anyway.
What's the key to make single player autobattlers fun?
>>498762175But I want Mastodon to be the new Twitter, not Bluesky.Mastodon is less centralized so there's less risk of being subject to another tyrant like the Muskman.
>>498762410Progression.
>>498762664elaborate
>>498762410impactful interesting hard to make decisions
>>498757263Ok I'll stop programming. Then what? Sell my laptop as well?
>>498762260games?
>>498763068I literally told you what comes next. I actually told you the next step. So why are you asking.
>>498762919example
>>498762497I want things to work again like they did with IRC but with modern social media functionality.You can use whatever client you want, connect to whatever social media bock you want, it's all exchangeable because of a common protocol.
>>498762410the guy who made the smash hit autobattler game Automon posts here so you should ask him
>>498763437dont forget his second super smash hit one armed bandit too!
>>498763332>discord for boomers
>>498761247Because z+ going towards you is counterintuitive.
UNITY BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS
>>498762720Maintain the illusion that the player is achieving something by experiencing the game.
>>498764526How?
>>498764740maybe play an autobattler instead of not knowing how the genre works
https://x.com/80Level/status/1845849547639071137Blenderbros we won
>>498764740basically you have to make the game get a little bit harder, but then the player can do something to make it easier for a bit longeryou also need to juice that up to trick them into thinking they're having what we in the industry refer to as " fun "
>>498764923I could've sworn this was already a thing.
>>498765058Yeah uv toolkit but this one is easier to use and better for character design
>>498764875name your favorite ones
>>498764923bocchidev is marmo!?
>>498764121I really want Unity to improve the weight/performance on the engine. It feels slow even on an SSD.
good morning aggydaggyi will make games
>>498764121>>498765883>not using godot in 2024ngmi
>>498766249Sorry, I'm not a tranny.
>>498755489If you can't get 5 digit likes under your game, you're not going to make it. Simple fact.
>>498765883I can't fathom forcing yourself to use a bloated engine that still requires third-party assets to function when it doesn't even have the advantage of cutting edge tech like UE, I have literally never seen an /agdg/ game made in poonity that couldn't have been a godont game made in half the time.

how do you do a full body awareness FPS controller without the head clipping into the camera? i'm too retarded to figure it out
godon't
>>498766825Could you rephrase? I don't understand.
What is this magic?https://youtu.be/Oie1ZXWceqM
>>498766825the camera should offset it's position depending on the pitch
>>498767290It's just math that uses approximations, it's actually fairly limited.
>>498765603This one is great: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1822710/
why does this animation do this when it transitions from sitting > playing. It's two different animations and in blender they are in the same position, but when the animation transitions in unity, it shifts it back to the objects origin for some reason?
>>498766825Make the head not visible in the camera, thougheverbeit with a separate mesh or display the headless body howeverbeit in separate viewport
>>498767618Adobe added new 2D rotate tools though

>>498766249>>498766447I use Godot and Unity. At the moment, I started helping a friend make a 2d platformer in Unity, and after 3 years since I really used it, I'm amazed by Unity's shortcomings despite it being way more popular than Godot.>Still no character controller 2d>Although it's known as a beginner friendly engine, that means you have to use Unity's physics or code your own 2d controller>That means you also have to code slope handling>LTS editor edition updates don’t replace the previous version when installed>Need an addon for a good input system>Takes like 5 minutes to open a projectSimilar to Windows, Unity really should build a new engine from scratch or open source it so autists can fix it for free.

How do I befriends gamedevs?
>>498768757Slope handling is just basic math anyways. The input system might as well be official.
>>498768930impossible, we are destined to be alone forever. i have only one friend, and we dont even talk that much. i feel it in my bones, they will leave me too.better to get used being alone
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2440380/Megaloot/#app_reviews_hashat the end of the day you're either a good game designer, steal from a good game designer or get fucked when your game gets out of early access, this is permanent damage to the dev's reputationpeople's expectations for roguelike games have gone through the roof after slay the spire in my experience, baby's first roguelike doesn't cut it anymore
>>498768930Attend physically to game jams and interact, join team make games together.
>>498769429Also attend physically to game dev courses, etc.
>>498769375You say this as if it’s some grand realization, but it’s not and I deplore you for trying to frame it as if it is. You don’t deserve to be a game dev.
>>498769429Don't bother doing any of this if you're not physically attractive + have a good voice.
>>498769375If you at least gooned to your imagination you could develop a better art skill marmo
>>498769685Genuine question: why do you reply to it? It makes the same posts all the time, it's like trying to reason with cris.
Looking for <5/10 devs that speak with a high pitched voice and have heavy usage of the word “actually” along with snorting when they laugh to collab with.
>>498769737Thanks for the compliments but I don't think I'm that attractive.
>>498769737Shut up tranny!I WILL befriend any ugly bastard dev as long as they at least somehow bearable
>>498769985literally me
why this allowed?
I'm starting to think I might be too unintelligent for gamedev
>>498770339Browse the new section of Steam and you’ll regain your senses.

It's over. All motivation is gone. I don't even know where to take the game now.
>>498770693Why does he have a chef hat if he just ordered pizza?
>>498770971but it's slop when unreal does it
>>498771042the best way to weight paint is to generate automatic weights and fix any issues manually
If I get crabbed 1 (one) more time I will not be posting my game every again!
>>498771239*crabs you*
>>498771045Take it to DD.
Which one of your tools has you feeling like this? Really fast development, but entirely out of your control?
>>498770339But if you don't make that game then no one will, and the world will descend into darkness. You can't give up anon.
would you be able to finish your game if you were living in a car?
>>498771932back to xxxxxx with your subtle ad posting
>>498771932I like your game but I wish you'd use a different format to showcase your art instead of>Does your game get any fanart?>Does your character drink coffee?>Does your robotwaifu enjoy getting anally rammed?Just post your stuff and say "new art dropped" and it will be better received.

the things I do instead of devving
In the last month I've done basically a week of non stop music composition.Read the danbooru wiki.Learned a shit ton about fashion.Spent like 4-5 days learning martial art movements, parkour flips.Did an entire course over history of 7-17 century warfare.I feel I am honestly a diferent person right now.My autismo has increased like 50 times now.

>>498737929>>498715201 For one I didn't reach out to a publisher thats not my style, they reached out to me because they are famous for publishing a lot of japanese games and thought my game was kino. For two; they rejected working with me in the end because I didnt want to sign a contract where I get 0 funding to work on the game because I needed to escape wageslavery and work on gamedev full-time but they wanted bokube for free and sequel rights too so I'd be forced to work on bokube 2 instead of doing anything new and give them both games for free.Regardless of how they published some of my favorite nip games I didnt want to sell my soul for free like that. What they wanted me to do for the game wouldn't even be able to be done in the timeframe they wanted if I still had to be a cook 12 hours a day; It wasn't me reaching out to anyone or getting rejected for the games quality you retard
>>498776561no, it's awesome
>>498776753you might be right about that but they still said your target audience isn't clear

So should I switch to posting my shit on some tw*tter alternative now? I read their nee tos and it say you don't even own anything you post on therr and if you post any shit on twitter it automatically becomes royalty free.It kind of stinks because it took me years to barely get like 300 followers. Which twitter alternative is actually worth using?
My code is so fucking bad, when my game drops I'm about to make yandev look like fucking Bjarne Stroustrup.
Fuck I just want to die. Making a game is pointless and there isn't anything else that makes living alone worth it
>>498776001Make a 3D model then just pixelate it.
>>498770142because to this day retards do not understand that combinations of pixels cannot be monopolized, therefore they pay plagiarizers to "legitimize" their usage of an asset instead of plagiarizing it themselves

Your game WILL have a horror segment right? If not then youre NGMI
>>498777763spend more time to get a worse result. good idea.
>>498777762I know this is probably not allowed to say in this thread but I gotta keep it real with you: make a better game.
>>498777723My game is also mostly If statements that you would laugh if you saw it but it works fine. You think gamers know or give a fuck about the code?Only nodevs who cant put a game together are too worried about how the code is written.You know what they say, "those who fail teach"
>>498767705>>498767310trying both of these but it still needs a lot of work.i made a shader that culls the body mesh based on proximity to the camera, but it's hard to get it exactly right, for example when the player makes a lunging attack.this is a fun little experiment to play with thoughbeit. ignore the non functional enemy AI please.

>>498779181aye, i realize that would be easier, but i wanted to make sure the player's head would always be visible as a shadow cast by the player. having a headless shadow would be odd.also want to get mirrors going at some point, where you can see your full body character reflected in the glass from a first person view. it seems a lot of games did this in the early 00s but not so much anymore.
>>498777041>cuphead ruined an entire generation of games. I hate it.Why are you seething. It looks fun.
are there any books that teach low and mid poly style 3d modeling? youtube videos are great, but they're a bit long thougheverbeit

i dont think i could ever be motivated to work on a game when i only charge $10 for it in the end. $20 is my bottom line i think.

Techniggers must be the most volatile people on the internet. We get it nobody in the office takes you seriously and you go to the internet bicker about each other over tutorials, solid principles, drycode or what not. Ok bro you're learning Go and Java so you don't starve and end up homeless. Ok nigga you code since birth and now how to hack your school's website. Ok harold you only had to unplug and plug Stacy's computer and it took you away from watching anime on your booth. Ok "Luna" you're a woman, now fix these frontend bugs.Pieces of shits. Filth. Self driven fucks. Call artists annoying but you niggers are no better. There is no living soul in this world who actually needs apps or website or internet over every single piece of furniture.

>>498786869I'm making so much fucking progress, but it feels like I'm just scratching the surface. Thinking about all the work I still need to do stresses me the fuck out. Solo game development was a mistake.
>>498780714My RTS ideas were more of an RTT similar to the Sudden Strike games or Total War where battles have a fixed amount of material determined prior to the map being instanced.I've been trying to take a whack at making a Diablo 1 like also as you could probably tell, I have difficulty with isometric grid based path finding since Im codelet using Godot and it really pushes you towards floaty move_and_slide() collider shite, it simply does not feel good.

>>498786648unity has a pretty solid system setup as well. the tricky part is that the 2 control input types have differing functionality (arrow-keys != joystick) so they need different classes to handle things. also im setting up the project for local split-screen which adds another layer of ass pain

>>498792156Nigga you still got 20 years left in you when you reach 50 as long as you take good care of yourself.Exercise, eat right, avoid alcohol and drugs.
don't worry guys, this world's almost over. Many of you won't even see the perils of old age before you become immortals.

>>498792753John Blow is still living large, making games.
>>498792354what i meant is that last 20% of existence you either become an empty vessel or a working mind trapped in a disabled body. you see some old folks on youtube that are very active mentally and physically at 70, but that is rare
>>498792890Jon Blow is like 32 manHe just looks really bad
>>498788105Yeah idk it all sounds interesting to me. It’s already possibly in Hypercoven to make maps with pre-defined units on them, but if one wanted a kind of unit draft behorehand, that would be a bit of work.I’m not a fan of jiggly glidy behaviour myself, I have it all built very dumb and rigidly in my engine, there’s tiles and units occupy them. The graphics layer makes it appear a bit smoother. Anw. a bunch of people seemed to hate how it felt. If you want to collab, you should maybe try it out. And in case you can enjoy it, just msg me on the discord and we can see if we build sth. together.
>>498792979you even typed this like Johnathan Blow would say it.
What is "Epic for indies"?Be honest.
>>498792976>you see some old folks on youtube that are very active mentally and physically at 70, but that is rareBecause most Americans are fatasses who never exercise. It's no surprise that their bodies give out at 50.
>>498788105the manticore looked very nicei'll keep an eye out for your diablo1like
should've used int based id system instead of guids
I always say 'I'll start exercising after I solve this problem in my code" then another problem pops up after I solve that one and I fixate again.
>>498793064Timmy personally sucks your dici
post that playlist you listened to over 100 times while devinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLgms78JVo0
--The Necropolis of Abandoned Projects--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcICFkBv4rE
>>498793297One of the guys that Thomas Brush interviewed recently said something like,"You need to exercise for 1 hour every day. And it doesn't matter if you're in crunch or have something else to do. That 1 hour is completely off limits. Act like it doesn't exist."And I've been following that since.
>>498793362The real song I've been listening to over and over, its only comments are me and some other guy so I'd be completely doxxed if I linked the song.
>>498793064I think professional game devs have got sick of the unreal forum being filled with questions like "saar how do I make a fps?" so they decided to split the forum into an indie section and a regular section.
>>498793483Cool. What game does that guy have?
>>498793681https://store.steampowered.com/app/1335830/Lens_Island/Apparently it made like 3 million dollars so far.The guy crunched so hard on it that he sent himself into v-tach.
>>498793362https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVv_C2fYStU
>>498793681>Cool. What game does that guy have?Stardew Valley
I crunched so hard and got so far, but in the end... In doesnt even matter.
>>498793226I thought it looked good too considering I made no changes to the model or texture, goes to show how your art style is pretty faithful to its D1 inspiration.Are you ready to tell your publisher you need to scrap everything and return to 2d iso sprites? >>498792995Rigidity is based. Tile based movement with units who occupy whole tiles (no slipping thru or gliding over occupied tiles) is exactly the feel I was after. I'll check out hypercoven sometime this week.
an idea is developing in my mind..
I thought localization was going to take a week, but might just only be a couple of days. It is still hell and I have to take breaks so my hands can rest due to the copying and pasting in mass.
Is it possible to have an idle game with a fail state? All the incremental games essentially have no gameover, just "it takes more time to get there"
any games like football manager but not about sports? i like managing games, but i dont like when it's too gamified like zoo tycoon or so. just something that really requires exchanging knowledge on forums, trying tactics, slow progress etc.
heh... maybe my next idea will be good... and something i would be able to make....
>>498749126>Revenue Estimate: ~$25,000lol
>>498794254Yes, but people play idle games to see number get big, so fail states is shit that don't like
>>498793864So he crunched, put his health at risk to gain success, and gained it. Afterwards he tells me not to do the same? Genius approach. Keep down the competition, like steroid using athletes telling you drugs are bad after they got their medals.
>>498794287you don't like sports? fag
>>498794589>So he crunched, put his health at riskHe was vaxxed
>>498794065my next game will be 2d
>>498794613>heh look at this homo over here, he doesn't want to watch big sweaty black men in tight pants wrestle each other for 2 hours
>>498794657Thomas should've asked that
>>498794287It's very niche and requires a bunch of effort for it to work well. The sports manager stuff is mostly done by a few companies, and are released every year, which is part of the profit.
>>498794613i won a soccer talent competition as a kid :| (in a big city)and now iam old and completely unfit to even runlife...
>>498794589I mean he could've easily not been successful and still had health problems. His game is Forge Industry tier so there is definitely an alternate universe where it sold 0 copies.

>>498749119>>498755820this is why everything is a roguelite btwit is so fucking hard to make a story based game with a long playtime but the replayability of a roguelite multiplies every bit of content you implement many times over
so i heard you make games now nerd?
>>498788674There are multiple assets for that, even free ones, kys godonter
>>498795063
i do not watch any gdc talks, or courses and dont read any books about making games. its not rocket science at all and you just have to look at games like wow, rimworld, stardew valley, shooters, rts games, city builders etc. to understand what people like.the only reason to watch tutorials is when you have to learn a programming language or engine conventionsit's the same as learning music theory makes your music sound boring, and learning color theory makes your art looks boring.
>>498795063there's nothing more to say. "Yes, I do make games." then I simply disengage. I've blocked random numbers calling me because I know there is simply nothing to say. I know what I have to do, I don't need to endure whatever frame someone is trying to place me in.
2D or 3D art for a colony sim with Simtower/Project Highrise-style building?Building the game in 2D simplifies a lot of things, but fixed-camera 3D makes art and lighting a lot easier.
"HEY STAY HERE WITH ME AND LET ME CALL YOU A NERD! WHAT? YOURE GOING TO GO WORK ON YOUR GAME AND NOT GET A SWIRLY BY ME!? WTF? STAY HERE!!!"
>>498795027No it isn't. Modern devs are just lazy and have skill issues
>>498795315yea , I play games and I know what I like so I make what I like. I don't play Megaman games so I'm not going to make a Megaman like.

>>498797335a modeler who says thougheverbeit...... how curious.
>>498769204Megaloot had a good idea but I think it needed more time in the oven. Sounds like they took a nerf approach instead of a buff approach which was definitely a mistake. I played in launch and after a few runs getting wiped just shy of floor 30 I lost interest. The scaling goes absolutely batshit retarded and they introduce mechanics that directly fuck over certain types of builds basically killing your run once you reach that point.
I have a theory that allowing occasional very lazy decisions will actually improve your game instead of making it worse. If something is frustrating you, make something halfway passable and forget about it, moving onto the next thing. If you never feel up to fixing it, just leave it. People will generally find it charming, or undisruptive, imo. Thoughts?
My friends are telling me to make a Vagante-likeI don't know anything about that game and looking at it I don't really see the immediate appeal
>>498795027>it is so fucking hard to make a story based game with a long playtime but the replayability of a roguelite multiplies every bit of content you implement many times overYes. Very hard. The effectiveness of a story goes down the longer and more replayable you make your game, and the more story focused you make your game the shorter and less replayable it will become. It's an inevitable trade-off.Once again, Jeff told the truth and everyone hated him for it:https://bottomfeeder.substack.com/p/tips-for-writing-a-video-game-story

>>498777041I played the demo it's alright but I think it failed in making the gameplay satisfying to look at. After a certain point it just becomes a vomit of balls flying around and you can't tell what's going on anymore. I think it's a game people would play for a bit if it's free but they won't buy it if it's over $5.

>>498800776it will have something similar, she'll rest normally when her energy goes down, but when my apple watch detects that I'm asleep she will be in sleep mode that entire time too.
>>498798570by story I don't really even mean the literal writing part but like a game that's designed around a single playthrough vs a roguelite replayability approachwhen you're making content with the expectation that players will only ever experience it once you have to make a fuckton of content
>>498800982Go outside for fucks sake you are a whole different level of sad compared to other devs
>>498801164your game?
can i have an idea for a game with elf girls
>>498798563WHY do they tell you that?
i am genuinely humbled by realizing morrowind might actually be a good game that might be beyond my ability to recreate, the struggle has changed my tastesthat being said i'm still going with a game that has low to mid poly graphics but is a competitor to gta 6 and san andreas when it comes to content
>>498801439I would have if I hadn't fucked things up. I think it was pure chance that we'd gotten along so well that we would have been friends for life though.
>>498798563just make what you want. Why is this even a struggle? Just say "Not my cup of tea."
>>498801439My dad has friends they meet up with once a year (or less frequently if they're far away) but in my case, I don't really talk to them.it's whatever. You probably have new things to do with your life, right?
>>498801257What you’ve made is not a game.
>>498801058If you focus on replayability over single playthrough you can't really make a game story-based. Or at least, it wouldn't be a very good story.
>>498801439this also happened to me, i can't believe a friendship i made in fucking TF2 a decade ago is lasting more that college friends
>>498800265It's not even that. Basically in every run you reach a point where you spawn dozens of balls simultaneously and you get slowdowns and particle vomit. I don't think you can even win without going with the spawner route.
>>498800637grim...
>>498800637the crazy part is, that demo song is ALMOST there, just not yet. Maybe study music more?
>>498801439Don't you even watch movies? You're supposed to have sex with the hot chick at a school reunion in 25 years time

>>498800637cris you've been "learning" for 10 years and yet your skills are that of someone who just picked something up a month ago. Just give up buddy.
>>498801673Of all the starter packs the spawner seems strongest, definitely, the dams multiply each other. Playing without spawns leads to balls often doing nothing much several times in a row.The problem is the game expects you to keep multiplying but a lot of the triggers are just flat and gradual increases, and if they aren't, they need more balls to reliably work.
>>498800637why did she look so scared?

>>498802704or you could just not hire freaks
>>498802704An average white american will look at "Ng Shi Ting" and not want to even bother to try pronouncing it, so when Shi Ting tells Jeff at work, "call me Sherry, Jeff is relieved and instantly more comfortable. It's a bit different than if your name is "Juan Martinez" where almost any white person can read and pronounce that with no issues, then going by "Jeff" would be a a tiny bit more strange in comparison because its like "why am I not calling you Juan?"

idc if making a sonichu game is a bad idea, I'm having fun
>>498802262The higher difficulty doesn't give you a starter pack. Spawners are still the way to go because you can't keep up with the increasing money goals without them.>The problem is the game expects you to keep multiplying but a lot of the triggers are just flat and gradual increases, and if they aren't, they need more balls to reliably work.Yes exactly. Even the ones that ramp in power benefit from more balls hitting them so there's really no downside. Maybe the release version will add new things and change things up but right now it doesn't seem like it has much longevity.

I assume this since I had something else happen to me a few years ago where I had that feeling for months, I suspect I will have it again if my game flops.>>498805870>post (no picture of game) progress: ~3 replies>post self made meme: 1-20 replies>post bait: 1-10 replies>reply to posts: ~2 replies>post game: 0 replies
>>498737929>progressphysics quadtree granularity has been increased and the changes have been applied to enemies, projectiles, gibs, collisions, line-of-sight checks, and a variety of other places. the result is that areas which were previously prone to fps drops now have much better performance and in most areas the stuttering has been completely eliminatedmain things i am looking at next include having workshop support for people to add terrain/ships/crew from the outset, updating the mid-mission ui to display the currently selected crew members, and adding more weapons to the recently-improved arsenal of five options

an evil scheme just popped into my head that might actually cause damage to other anons here's games but it would be fucked up and wrong so I'm not gonna do it. I also won't say what it is because anyone could do it. this info is a memetic weapon that could ruin the progress of a few anons in this gen and probably hurt them in real life too. I don't want to have this knowledge I wish that the thought never came to me, it was evil

>>498799619She's just like me...
>>498809425I started an edgy gritty industrial post apocalyptic game inspired by that a long time ago, but it didn't go very far. I did create a whole world and setting for it though and finished a small choose your own adventure type thing based on it.
>>498809425Why don't you do it cris? You studied history so much, you're the most qualified here for this.
>>498809760If runa is the moon this girl is the sun.
>>498809748honestly there's a lot of potential for zombie genre games where you have to survive the sea people.>>498809760I actually been thinking a tower defense RTS survival game based on that end of the world would be 10/10.
>>498753897>picbut that's never how it went as a kid everyone at my birthday would be hyped to play the new game and we'd play it together

>>498808501fixed it for you
I still don't have an ending for my game and don't know how to come up with one. How do I be productive at writing game stories?
/agdg/ used to call my game "based" and "soulful" but if I were to post it today, they'd call it "soulless" and continuously harrass me (like they do with Marmo)...
plantlike farming RTS. order units to til the soil / water plants, etc and new plants become units themselves
>>498809606>I think they like Vagante and want more of itIf that sentiment is shared with a big enough audience it could be worth it. Vagante sold alright. But if you don't see the appeal then you might not be able to make a good game with that concept.
>>498811261bro it's UE5 now get with the times
>>498811568Add powers like rain, clouds, sun, drought and you could have a solid game.
>>498810647thanks cris, maybe someday. keep it real brotha
Alright I'm going for a walk but when I get back I'm going to make some progress. Didn't dev much today yet my mom made me go shopping.
>>498811514They harass marmo only because of his behaviour albeit
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Carried scared.
>>498811486story is usually about the main characters changing from their journey and experiences. maybe try tying the ending to how your characters have developed in a significant way
>>498812118Tell your mom I love her.
wtf you guys said unity was bad but I literally just downloaded it 2 minutes ago AND I ALREADY HAVE A VIDEO GAME
>>498812265>only because of his behaviour albeitWhat behaviour? Releasing a game? He acts normal, you all just shit on him because he didn't make a million dollars the second he hit the release button on steme.
I keep coming back to the idea of making a space sim because it doesn't require much in terms of animation or props. It seems like they need relatively little assets compared to most other 3d games.
>>498812597You might be right but It's probably harder to make it fun for that reason
>>498812421downloading an example project doesn't mean you have a game
>>498812421Damn anon, looking good!
>>498811486just end the game with a cliffhanger and if it does well you make game 2 to resolve the sotry
>>498812421that one anon managed to make a game off this base i call him ultra kill anon
>>498812421That's not a full game that's a prototype
>>498812981if this was 1980 you would've spent years of your life playing this "prototype" over and over again
>>498812703You're probably right about that. As far as tag performance goes they seem to sell relatively poorly on Steam. I wonder if there's a specific niche in space games that's lacking.
>>498803915Shops are one of those standard tropes that you feel obligated to put in your game when you might not actually need one at all, so make sure you aren't just adding a shop for the sake of adding a shop. A shop does not turn an unfun game into a fun one.Spawning on a map with the player facing the shop and the portal behind them is pretty good design.
it's way too hard to make a game, i give up
>>498803915what game?
>programmer socks: on>chastity cage: locked>dragon dildo: sitting on>sissy hypnosis: playing>godot: launchedyup, it's gamedev time
>>498813261Nah, I would've spent a few minutes admiring the Roswell alien technology, then I'd go back to enjoying Western civilization before the collapse.
>>498813261Probably. But do you know what year it is today anon?
>>498813653stop thinking about making a game just make a goddam prototype
>>498813787Could have just said godot: launched.

Unity 6 is released today. Should I upgrade to it? What are the unitybros doing?
>>498811261>UE4
>>498814101Exactly. So instead I'm playing FFX all night. If only I didn't have to go to school tomorrow
>>498811514/agdg/ calling a game soulful is like when a skinny woman calls a fat woman beautiful

>>498814098?
>>498814130Purchasing items at a store represents a certain loss (losing a resource) in exchange for items as opposed to dropping the from enemies where the loss (defeat) is not certain, but greater.
Game designers, is this a bad game loop?Kill enemiesCollect money from enemy corpsesSpend money on upgrades and supplies at a storeSupplies allow continuing to kill enemies, upgrades allow killing enemies more effectively
>>498814430chubby women can be beautiful though. I had the hugest crush on a vtuber's irl actor who is kinda chubby
hol upso zelda's secret power is that she can turn into a man?
>>498814730>is every game ever a bad game loop
>>498814910Anons on /v/ were saying loot drops and upgrade stores were bad game design so I got doubtful
>>498814572>>498814130I mostly said that because at one point I added a shop, only to remove it sometime after. I might add it back in some day but the focus of my game was never about micromanaging that sort of thing. For now, I have a simpler system where if a player does well enough in an area they'll get a choice of items, not just an arbitrary money increase but they have to hit a certain threshhold of enemies defeated.

Friends!I'm happy to report that my reading of Game Programming Patterns has given me insight onto my shit code!I've cleaned my code and it feels very nice and I'm getting used to keeping shit de-coupled!God Unity has objects that can carry more than one script.I feel like a real person as of now.God, I feel so Good.<3I wish you all the best! :D>>498761270Looks cool and smooth! :D>>498774023Cool game! reminds me of that one anime game, I think it's adorable! Also, be careful since it's possible for people to remember your name and game and fuck you over in the future! :D Keep care! :D>>498779118Good luck :Dhttps://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/design-patterns-revisited.html>>498785143Heck! Pan pizza made a video on this! I love the lighting effects and how it casts onto the snow! It's perfect! I like it! :D All the colors are so comfy and remind me of... Diddy Kong racing's snow level :D You made it! :D>>498789243Looks cool! :D Keep it up! :D (also pretty please make invis meshes to those cave assets so the rails no bump if you want)>>498806730That axolotol is adorable! Shoot it :D>>498815084People tend to like progression! Games without any serious depth where you can progress your own skills at the game can be carried with numbers going up, sorta like cookie clicker. idk :> doesn't hurt to not have it so why not but maybe don't compromise on the game game part of it idk :DBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>498815165It's generally a good idea to add risk/reward systems for depth.In this sense stores are usually low risk, low reward.TBoI is a good example of this. Store items are rarely too impactful but it's a good way to get an extra pickup. Also, you can blow up the shopkeeper or donate money to increase deal chances after defeating the boss. It's almost like the point of the store if anything but.
>>498815380You were always a real person anon, but good job in your progress.Unless you're cris in which case fuck off.

Will my sfw game be better or worse if I include both the stuff I obviously like but also stuff I typically suppress from my shadow self like fucked up or evil or shameful desires? not too much but like chainsaw man does kind of

>>498814730That's my game dude, don't steal it.
>>498816234Well I'm a contrarian and I hate thread wars, especially considering how many times we had to deal with shitty eceleb OPs, I don't know shit about AI but now I'll start posting it just to spite you for calling me a 'jeet.
>>498816505I can call you a jeet AND get you to waste your time? It's buy one get one free!
>>498816595My game is almost done and it takes around 6 minutes to compile, I usually just browse youtube but the dopamine from austistic shitposting is just different.
>>498816787>6 minutesCompiled languages were a mistake.
>>498789487Thanks>>498790479>>498791706Sure. It picks from a random assortment of static meshes, or empty "caves" (here is one such in the video). Then fills the cave in with a random 'sub-level', which is just another mesh with a handful of objects that are all together as one object. After that it samples from pre-selected spots in the cave that I placed to not overlap with any of the sub-levels meshes and rolls for a chance to fill it in or not fill it in with details to create a random assortment of rocks/crystals/stalagtites to hopefully create a decent looking unique version of that cave. There's a lot of fine tuning I need to do to make everything look good still but its a decent start and for a while I was having fun just running through and seeing the different variations that popped up. I need to rework the sub-levels so that each one distinctly changes the path to the 'exit' door which leads to another cave. The 'master cave controller' just randomly selects from a variety of caves, some with sublevels and some without, and places the newest one at the 'exit' point marked in the actor blueprint.
>>498809442It looks like the kind of thing a dumb woman would make.
>>498817285Very cool. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
Ring buffer implemented.Now I don't have to remesh the entire chunk window in order to generate chunks, I only generate the chunks which need to be generated at that precise moment. Pay attention to the colored chunks lined up, they recur because it is in a ring buffer now.Praise be to the King Jesus Christ
