Reminder that you need at least 10 years to master enough skills to make a decent game. Most of you should just get a job.
Fygoon Platoon, we will destroy all.
>>499384541I have a job. I can't get enough gamedev time, I get tired/ distracted after work.But I was also tired/distracted most of the day when I was neeting after graduating. So...
>>499382097the site is shitting itself
>>499384679BASED
I'll master the skills. I'll make a decent game. You'll see.
>>499384541time to take another 10 years to learn how nodes work in godot, although by that point i'd probably be forced to get a job anyway
>>499384689I work from home, so my spare time isn't consumed by being packed into a sweaty fart tube of a public transit system, also known as commuting
>>499384831Literally everyone who has gone against me have fallen. All who have tried to slain the Dragon were slain themselves.
>>499370098I hope he does quit indie gamedev but I doubt it as is evident by his love of the attention it gets him on social media. This is imho one of those who entered the field for social clout. Approx 90k for his game. He is either>someone who had a decent wage and could make that in 2 years>desired rich tier gainsEither way such an amount isn't that impressive since these types are looking for social fame but that requires much better success so that they can both quit waging and sit in the lime light 24/7 like the Project Zomboid dev who seems to be this type of developer.>>499372486Because youtubers sold them an idea. Sadly most will just keep trying because>Im built differentWish it wasnt the case so this oversaturation finally came to an end and these people would leave gamedev. Go back to drop shipping, harping on how they love exercising, or trading stocks or some other foty scheme that gets popular on social media that they pile onto. Sadly gamedev seems to be the last one with no new scheme which means it's probably getting an unsually higher amount of people pouring in compared to previous popular grifts.
why did fagoon start shitposting and stop posting progress
pov: making a pixel based game
>>499385064I also work from home, but still.... When the clock hits 18:00 and I'm free, I'm just usually not in the mood to do more programming for the day. And then I get into the vortex of youtube and random internet crap, and then it's suddenly 23:00 and I gotta sleep or else I won't wake up early for the gym on the next day.
>>499385191Because big things are in the works for DD and I'm not spoiling the surprise.
>>499385191There are people that just do their own thing and make game and people who do it for attention. The second kind are prone to getting diverted into other atention-seeking activities. There are multiple examples of that in AGDG.
>>499385327Wagies are NGMI. The best thing you can do is to live frugally, save up, and then quit and dedicate several years to fulltime gamedev once you have enough saved up.
>>499385227Someone make an edit but with konata (cult of marmaskus dev) saying "my levels suck"
Appeal has been legitimized as a factor in a game's success.
>>499385556he's really toned down his mylevelsucks posting. actually, I haven't seen him or his konata pics around. Has he migrated to discord, or just left?
>>499384680So are you bio-female or just some troon? If bio female I will say this, you sound black. You're black arent you? Are you actually making a game or are you in a phase of having no clue what to make?
>>499385617Always has been
>progressWelp 1st dungeon is mostly done I guess now its time to focus on assets, balance and polishing.
Daily reminder that over 80% of "game studios" never release a second game. At some point we're just gonna run out of new developers
>>499385191It's hard to make progress when you're shitposting for 18 hours a day.
>>499385779So you're saying that if I publish 2 games (*that make money) I'll have "Made It"?
>>499385732Some anons here didn't seem to accept it. Appeal has been this somewhat memey word that gets thrown around in here but it's a very real thing.
>>499385527Nta, I'm a neet actually but I fear returning to the wagecage. If I go back I do not see me devving at a decent pace at all. If I go back, then at my current skill level I've got maybe 1 or 2 more games before I have to throw the towel in. It'd simply be too time consuming on my free time>wake>go work>come home>work on game>go sleep>repeat
>>499385760The clock is telling me this is a stardew-like, but you've got monsters and what seems to be a freeze spell. Is this a Rune Factory-like? Or are you pulling from older stuff, like Azure Dreams, or random dungeon crawlers?
>>499385779Eh, game studios aren't people, they die all the time while devs live on. Devs probably just end the studio and make a new one after failing once to get a fresh start.
>>499385713Fat black queens in /agdg/??
>>499385779Where is this from? Btw I think the ampunt of people coming in versus the time it takes to release a game is entry heavy. Meaning even if most quit the numbers on new games coming out will keep increasing for the time being.
notice how fygoontroon never posts his game
>>499385327>not in the moodPersonally I have a nice routine, around 5:30 I'll close the work laptop, walk the dog for an hour, make dinner and eat, then dev from around 8 onwards, unless my friends want to play HD2 or something.Sometimes I'm not in the mood so I do one little thing and either I get in the mood while doing it or say fuck it and do something else.
>>499384761skill issue, works on my machine
"Make the game you want to play" posters COMPLETELY BLOWN THE FUCK OUT
Women come and go from this thread but none provide free female voice acting for my games.
>>499385713i am black and in the long process of making a game, i have concepts of a game even, but my technical ability leaves me gatekept by the complexity of nodesi made the decision to make a test project, but all i've managed to do is import the models and one animation into godot
notice how marmanus never posts his game
>>499386381How so?
>>499386034>The clock is telling me this is a stardew-likeNope, it would be a digimon-like, time impacts monster raising and map event. I Played Azure Dreams too but this game's not really a roguelike, although you lose progress in dungeons if you lose.
>>499386381This guy looks like my grandmother in her final days with cancer. Does this guy live off of six chicken nuggets a day? He has the unhealthy and gaunt visage of someone who's been on an autism diet for 30 years.
>>499386381Solodevs COMPLETELY BTFO and exposed as selfish gollums who only care about hoarding a pile of gold by themselves.
>>499386381>Kirby's Dream Land>14 people (12 professional roles, 2 thanks) with 15 credits.
>>499386278I'll keep you in my thoughts when I return from class. In the meantime, behold: Bulldogs now look up and down at the player (this is an older screenshot as the character model had been redesigned)
>>499386610that's great when you're living in japan, where there's an actual industry to support.I've been trying to get hired by the Brazilian game dev industry for years, but guess what?They (mostly) DO NOT EXIST!!!!
>Fab.com>Quixel Megascans for FREE>All these modelsWhy would you ever model anything ever again?
Eric Baloney invented clocks in games
>>499386034>The clock is telling me this is a stardew-likeKill zoomers. Behead zoomers. Roundhouse kick zoomers into the trash.
How do I avoid over-scoping on my first game? Should I just try to make the barebones of a playable "game" and then work from there?
>>499386830Start with Pong or Flappy Birds

>>499385227>>499386381>>499386610reminder that parasocialism is a mental illness
>>499386610lol this is a journey i have to take mostly alone, i'm not even solo devving for the money because i plan to make my game free, i'm doing it for the experience and to know that i can, maybe my ability to do this would make up for all of the years i've spent as a neet
>>499386796you fuck, It's not because it's a clock. It's because it looks exactly like the goddamn stardew clock, just look at it.
>>499386935reminder to pull your head out of your ass
>>499386765How come? Brazilians even trying to make their manga industry but I have never seen something like br agdg
>>499386994You're mentally ill, eric schizo.
>>499387176I'm not the goddamned Eric schizo, fuck that guy. THEY LOOK THE SAME, WAKE UP SHEEPLE
>>499387119Oh cool, quotes!
>>499386935none of those things are parasocial.
>>499386935>the socrates schizo is awake
>>499387175Brazilian devs used to run this place. The monkey cabal, hidden in the shadows.
>>499386928https://store.steampowered.com/app/1037750/Looking_for_Heals/there's another
I think it will be more effective if I develop 2 games at once. one wholesome for when I'm feeling good and one dark for when I'm not. you might think that it will take twice as long to finish, but the reality is that productivity drops to 0 if my feelings are not aligned with the game
>>499386994Huh I guess thats where the tutorial I saw got the idea from. Well in any case its not a stardewlike so it won't really matter if UI looks a bit similar.
>>499387175Pen and paper cheap computers expensive.
>>499386587He's just skinny. Look at females who are 50+ and are still skinny, they have the same look. It's the skin sag I suspect causing this effect. Quite unappealing on females.>>499386610Unironically I think I have a slim chance of getting hired by this indie dev (who has a team). Not sure if I should chat with him but I get the feeling he'd offer to hire me without me actually soliciting for a job. I won't explain the circumstances leading up to this but am considering attempting to get a job working on his game. I really liked the first one. Could really improve my art skills if I could work for him
>>499386928>>499387518>oh no somebody has validated his game concept for himretardThough those both look kinda better than healed to death, 3d was a mistake.
>>499387276reminder: clown general
>>499387773can confirm, I am one
>>499387096I get offers for free male voice acting all the time thougheverbeit?Surely there must also be women whose self interest is having their voice featured in a amateur cartoon board video game.
>>499387645yeah it's fine and fits the rest of the art, just made me think of the stardew clock
>>499386781Does it have all the quixel and epic stuff for free? I wonder if this will bring Tomo back. I'll have to set this up later. If I ever leave Unity for real the choices are now down to just Unreal and Gamemaker. Just not sure I'm good enough at 3D to even bother with Unreal or how long it'd take me to get to an acceptable level where the art won't hurt sales massively.
>>499388024>>499386781Quixel Megascans have always been free for Unreal Engine, if I'm not wrong.
>>499386928Idk if his artist is even doing anything but the 3D enviroment and characters and enemies. If she isn't doing the UI and capsule art, then 50% is far too high of a cut imho.
>>499388236The version on fab, from what Ive read, can be used on any engine, so I never bothered signing up on quixel to gain the larger library especially so since it sound slile the quixel site will eventually be closed woth fab taking its place.
>>499387350To be fair there is definitely a nodev schizo posting millionaire devs here all the time because he's parasocial.
nigga I'm boutta CRANK IT TO THE MAX
>>499386308yeah, in the end I think I need more structure in my life. I hate setting time blocks for stuff, but I don't seem to be able to actually do stuff without them. Back in Uni I went all the way from my house to the lab just so I could force myself to actually study, because at home it was a no go.
Is it possible to like your own games?As a outsider I always enjoy being ignorant of the magic going on behind the scenes, just like a magic trick done by a magician. When you go through the hurdles of game development I feel like you can't help go through either one of these and build resentment.>Leading and management results in doing administration>Art is never finished, only abandoned>Technical debt, coders always wanting to rewrite code>Semantic satiation>Writer's block>Music: 4 Chords>Business wise: money obviously plays a major factor and if you enjoy doing any of the above you spend less time doing those if you're concerned with the business side
>>499386928This here is close to my dream>ea>2000+ reviews>$7.99Make it $14.99 and I could go on to make one of my games much more in depth as I got the funding needed to permanently neet dev. Would however still full release my current game as getting it to a state where I'd be happy with it would require a full on redo, so no way I'm keeping it in ea for years on end while adding every single idea I want for it.
>>499386935>>499387119>>499387276>>499387773Marcus Aurelius predicted Demo Days
why does osur talk like a faggot? hope that shit flops
>>499386928>>499387518>mobileslop idle games
making porn games as we speak
>>499387518>looks like CharmanderAnd yet somehow these people arent afraid of being sued and I get paranoid over one of my creatures turning out to look similar to some old version of a Nintendo enemy while unironically and completely by accident having the same name (generic name). I ended up changing the name. New name sounds better but this paranoia of being sued has hurt me more than once.
>>499388695Knowing the "magic" for mine definitely ruined it for me
>>499387276he is quite literally me
>>499386781>>499388024>>499388236>>499388367does this mean all the other shit Epic gave away for free, like Paragon assets, can be used in other engines now?https://www.fab.com/sellers/Epic%20Games
>>499386781Because I don't want to use something I don't have full rights to?
>>499386480>i am blackUnsurprising, youre typing style gives it away>but my technical ability leaves me gatekeptKekd, sounds like when I started and had no clue
>>499389194like you're doing right now to communicate with us on the internet?
>>499386381>>499386610>Japan cultureSurely I don't have to explain why they have better values then us and still believe in concepts like teaming up right?Just look at the state of this western thread and compare it to any Japanese doujin communities.
>womanigger dev is blacklmao called it
At times I want to make a 3d platformer sideproject but designing the levels is too hard...
>>499389194You already don't, if you make something that resembles something too close to some globocorp their intellectual property, they can and will sue regardless of whether you made it yourself, downloaded it from Fab or some other online marketplace where people publish "their" creations.
>>499389445Doujins are comparable in scope to short game jam games, not full commercial games.
>>499386587He works until 10-11PM. His free time in a given day is from then until 2AM at which point he sleeps until 8AM. Shit's probably taking a toll on his skin and health but that's the price for being a successful gamedev.
>>499388905I wish I had a gf so I could make a porn game.
>>499389758idk what's stopping you, my game will have pornographic aspects in it, but i have no bf>>499389484>platformer and not a based genre like an open world rpg or survival horrorlol
>>499389673hey tranny, this is amateur gamedev general why you keep posting professional devs? is it because you have a parasocial relationship with them? well i guess it's your father's fault for leaving the household
Jamie , pull up the video of those devs who stood against all the crabs and made an awesome collection of games. That was wild.And then the devs went and slew the giants in the Cedar Forest? Crazy. That's just crazy, man.https://youtu.be/WMmlOzZgdCo?si=_9YY6A5WW8DW6SLw
>>499389289>>499389480>born to breed>forced to gamedev
>>499388905Post you're game? Are you doing the art yourself or are you paying an artist?I am stuck in the cage right now but I've been working on a little mockup screen to check out how the assets look together/at certain resolutions etc since coomer shit is mostly about the art and "story"
>>499389289>>499389480>implying there is a black typing styleerm.. idk what you're talking about
>>499390269I can save them
>>499390214https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandiose_delusionsmeds, schizo
>>499390428I'm a muscular man with a Primeagen / Selleck moustache.
I keep drawing but my art never gets better......Still not hiring an artist, doing pixelslop or using AI...
>>499390585there's definitely a certain charm to doing your own art.You know, maybe I should start playing with Maya and start trying to make some kinopoly.
>>499390585same. well, I got kinda good but plateaued.
>>499390291You can tell if a black person is writing the same as you can tell if a black person is speaking on the phone. NTA but you were also obnoxiously posting your woman shit here telling everybody how you're a big fat sassy black woman who doesn't need no man. Also, a nodev. Have you considered using a trip code and avatar to be more annoying?
is a Sista not deserving of a loving Mista?
>>499389484Kek at the pic
>>49938870914.99 and you wouldn't get 2000+ reviews
>>499390269My wife is black. She's wonderful. Cooks cleans, demure, sweet, kind... the only flaw is she doesn't make or play videogames.

>>499389484kys furfag
Don't let the sour people get you down, lady dev.Just make game. You are beloved.
>>499391327no actually we all hate her
>>499389673doing anything that ruins your health isn't worth it
How are nodes complex? If you have any experience using C# they should be piss easy to use.
>>499390846i may be a nodev at the moment, but i'm basically the female todd howard lol>>499391327lol i will make game eventually>>499391374if you think you do, you actually don't lol
>>499389673Does he actually live like this? That isnt the price you have to pay, ie 6 hours sleep. Why they willingly choose that even when rich is beyond me>>499390585Awwww *hugs* *pats head* *hands you a sippy cup with milk and cookies* ara ara
>>499391374I don't. >>499386381He's probably some expert game designer who can craft something he doesn't want to play from an objective standpoint.Unless you want to get autistic about game design studies just make the game you want to play.
>>499391504nodes a shit
>>499391504i don't have experience using c# or any code or game engine, i only did html once
>>499391564>just make the game you want to play.>be black>*self insert to game*>game doesn't sell because DEI woke wypipo
>>499391521>Why they willingly choose that even when rich is beyond meIt's called passion. The entire channel cost him $600k to make (paid out of his pocket, not counting the cost of his own labor over 4 years) and the videos aren't even monetized.
>>499391747Making a game with blacks is so cooked because>Most white people won't play your game since they can't relate/ are racist>Black people won't play anything without ball or guns in it>Other demographics are just not interested by default.
>10 days for demo dayLol, I'm missing this one too I guess
>>499390135It just feels incomplete without a girlfriend and I don't like half-assing my games.
39 year old unemoloyed virgin here. all I can do us code and basic 3d art (I know how to download a character model and animate it with mixamo) so I figured gamedev is my only chance to make enough money to attract a desperate woman. tell me what to make. I stopped playing games 15 years ago when I started on my self improvement arc so I don't know what's cool now
>>499391521>>499392087This has literally nothing to do with amateur game development, you're just gossiping offtopic shit.I'm starting to think that Fygoon has a point.
>>499392375>tell me what to make
>>499391747Why would anyone want to play as a non-White person? Even if the game lets you choose exotic races like lizard people or minotaurs most players of all demographics will choose to play as White man. I can't explain why, but it was so pronounced that some shit RPG a while ago had it's devs complaining that people are choosing to play "boring White men".
>>499392375No amount of videogame success will make women attracted to you. Leave this place and continue with your self-improvement arc.
>>499392501lmao>>499392246my game would be so based if i actually knew how to make it lol
>>499392501it was the baldurs gate 3 devs.
>>499392724Damn I'm so glad I'm a 2Ddev, this shit looks so annoying to work with.
>>499392375Completely serious answerMake a villainess otome isekai game Not only you will make a bank but also can attract fangirls
I live in a big bed with my wife and have a game people seemed interested in
>>499392501I primarily play females of varying race in asian games because they're designed to be cute and appealing. In western games, all the characters are ugly af, and the most boring white man character is the least offensive looking.
>>499392375>>499392598this, notch is a great example
>>499392801No shit the game is played by white people only because no one gives a shit about cringe ass d&d shit, try VRchat or second life if you want to see games played by a more diverse demographic.
>>499392856is 2d really so much easier? *sigh* i might be forced into making a 2d game due to my lack of expertise
>>499392801players want the illusion of choice and not too many eitherhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice
Currently making animations for my main character because I'm gonna have to learn how to 3D animate at some point. I have a lot of experience with 2D animation, but 3D is new to me. So far, I got Idle, the 5 levels of walk/run, jumping, falling and now double jumping. The final model won't look like this, because you won't be able to see the segments between, and the head/hands are placeholders that will be replaced in engine. But yeah, little by little, I'mma gettin' there.
>>499392909this is a good idea, it's the type of game people really want, not a roguelike 2d platformer or card game lol
>>499393183I don't know I've never devved 3D but it's just common sense that adding one extra dimension will translate into more work.
>>499392909>otome isekaisurprisingly I'm not a weeb. I tried looking up what otome isekai is but it's incomprehensible. is it like a game where I get transported to a world where women find ugly poor men attractive?
amateur game development? if you need life advice or social interactions we have boards for that too, newfaggette tranny tourists >>>/adv/ >>>/soc/ >>>/trash/
>>499393183>is 2d really so much easier?The programming is a little easier, but that's like 10% of the game. The other 90% is art which is way harder in 2D.
If a setting is inspired by the european middle ages then there's really no sense in making it extra mixed, unless it includes stuff like crusades>But muh dragonsYeah, part of european folklore, or are japanese yokai part of european folklore too?I dunno why there's not more pirate/caribbean/ age of discovery games being published nowadays? Its like they are avoiding the topic completely to push medieval fantasy with diversity
>>499393351true, but alot of the work seems to be in making stuff, which is easy, but having to deal with defining collisions and shapes aparently is alot, i would hope 2d is just plopping a bunch of images onto eachother, but it might be just as complicated
>>499393579lol i would render 3d models as sprites and backgrounds before i ever go back to 2d art
>>499392501My Neverwinter Nights character was a black guy with dreads that fought using dual katanas
>>499392401>This has literally nothing to do with amateur game developmentWhere are you when people talk about Jon Blow or Eric? Where are you when Penguindev or other devs who already made a shitload of money and are no longer "amateurs" post here?
A while back I watched a gamedev video where a guy used a website that showed him various stats about game genres on steam, which was helpful for determining which genres are niche enough to not have a lot of competition, but still niche enough that any game released will likely be seen by a lot of people interested in that genre. (Eg maybe there aren't a lot of city building games released frequently, so fans or youtubers of that genre will generally see most of them, but if you release a Platformer or maybe VampireSurvivor game, the space is way more flooded for your game to be seen)I'd like to make a 2D-sideways Base/Tower defense game and I wonder if that's a nice niche genre to hit.My question is if anyone knows the website he was using? I thought maybe it's SteamSpy, but can't rly seem to find that data/list, plus it seems some stuff there is gated behind a paywall.
>>499393347Yes, this is an ultimate shrigma male move Im considering myself, too bad I am busy with main project>>499393402>39 year old unemoloyed virgin >I'm not a weebWhat have you been doing all this time?Anyway otomo villainess isekai is a simulacra genre, it was invented only for LN and manga with anime, so no one knows its actual gameplayJust watch Villainess 99lvl and similar anime
If I see someone gamedev an otome game I just assume they are gay sorry.
>>499394478I'm straight but I WILL make an otome game.As soon as I figure out what that is.
>>499392909>>499393402>>499394375>>>/a/
>>499393596Hard disagree that's just grifterfuel, realism is a meme, for example most games featuring crusaders have them being just slightly zealous knights who won when they were closer to modern days bloodthirsty jihadis and lost, can you imagine having a game called "jihadi kings" now that would cause a chimpout. Btw, no one really cared about "realism" before that battlefield female soldier drama and the black guy in ass creed.
>>499392087But you can have passion without working that hard.>$600kHow does making that youtube channel cos thim $600k? Is the entire place a set?
>>499394597Bro it's a date simulation but you are a girl and a bunch of dudes want to fuck you.
>>499392375how did your self improvement arc turn out
>>499394820wow that makes it based

>>499392375at 39 and no prior gamedev experience you might not make a game that sells before you're 50 and it might not happen even after thatthe fact that you have to ask what to make is also a problemyou're not aware of the current state of the industryyou don't know the current trendsyou don't know what kind of games people enjoy nowadays or what's popularyou don't even know what kind of game you want to makewhy the fuck are you considering gamedev? it is not easy moneygo do something that actually has a path to money if that's really your goal

I had a terrible nightmare, where I was just observing myself and would not even able to control my body--it was just moving on its own. I might write my dreams again like I did back then in school and college, but the problem is I always try to compare all notes with everything that happens in real life, and there are a lot of similar things that drive me crazy.Should I make a game based on it or nah? In case you ask: yes, I am medicated. Don't worry, please.
FUCK YOU SLIMO
>>499397845if you say so, people with good ideas rarely announce they have a good idea and nothing else
>>499397836>maybeAight, I'm on it.
>>499392286Which dev are you?
>>499397447Pretty worthless for indies actually. It's only good for mid-sized studio that want to take risk-free approach at making some generic/conventional games based on tags alone without any creativity. All the indie successes that this general, or the internet as a whole touts around would have "failed" if you looked at them based on tags before release. (YOMI Hustle, Pseudoregalia, Vampire Survivors, etc.) Indies advantage is low cost of production and thus being able to take more risks and offer something unconventional.
>>499396126>waifu statusYeah she's my waifu, how could you tell?
>>499396202Indie multiplayer is insanity. There's basically no upside compared to the amount of effort it takes.
>>499398068i have good ideas but not many people seem interested in gta elder scrolls 6 classic resident evil style lol
chatGPT suggests I use a vertical slice pitch to shill my game. Either to Nintendo because it's similar to smash or to Sony to compete with Nintendo and ensure the game doesn't use smash characters. I honestly feel like if I got to a level where I could pitch it to Sakurai he would be very pleased.
>>499398197it's just a checkbox in Unreal
>>499398197I wonder if I can copy Slippi's online source code and implement it into Unreal's multiplayer capabilities
>>499398448Prove it
>>499398197Not really. I think it took me a week to figure it out to where I am now.
>>499392375If you can code your best option for earning a living beyond minimum wage is just getting a webdev job. Being able to code and download mixamo models, big deal, I can do that and last time I checked Steam hadn't sent me any royalties. But I do have a day job as a webshitter which allows me a house, car, wife and dog.Though I started webshitting 8 years ago with little experience other than free YouTube tutorials and no degree, though it was way easier to get started back then.
>>499398068I know the attitude this place has but this really is a game that could be stolen and I don't want that to happen. It will be in a future demoday just not the next one.
>>499398534Keep in mind his game is practically turn-based, may not provide the same results to you in a real-time game.
>>499398383nobody's gonna play your smash clonemany have tried and nobody has succeeded
>>499398628how much of your game is finished?
>>499398628>scared about a game idea getting stoleni've been posting my ideas and nothing happened, but you can always just come up with a better game than the person who stole it lol, they don't have your mind
>>499398593Now how hard to tack it onto a game that's already say 1000 hours into development?>no pvp>no anti cheat
>>499398816It's not a clone, it just uses the smash knockbackI looked at all the clones and figured out where they fail by comparing them to melee's successors

Damn I'm thinking about releasing a porn game on Steam but I feel like that would make any audience I get for future non-porn games look really weird at me. Anybody here have any experience with this?
>>499399542You should keep 'thinking' and twiddling your thumbs while the real ones work.
>>499399250Depends on the game and the engine, since you have to make some stuff replicated>no anti cheatYou don't need that.
>>499398536ez pz
everyone at the sharty laughed at my progress....
twilight rocks in the summer but in the autumn and winter it fucking sucks. when houses and trees and everything is pitch black but the sky is bright it makes me feel naseous
I could honestly make the game myself but it will take a few years and I'm going to start carlife and go to Thailand to roid and when I'm there I could easily pop over to Japan and pitch my idea in fluent Japanese.I just would rather have them make the game because if I make the basic mechanics the rest of the game will be a sinch so I might as well just finish itAnd if I could get money now to roid and not have to live in my car finishing the game that would be based. So much easier to code with two monitors on a powerful PC than a gaming laptop in a car.
>>499399769Unity + Mirror + 2D sidescrollerI dont intend for it to be complex, just simple gameplay. Just worried it might be hard to turn it into coop capable

>>499399052Maybe 20%. A good bit of the gameloop is done in code but I need to make the content and iterate on the individual bits of design as I to them.
>>499400421Chudreal has built in online multiplayer Troonity is for indie devs with programming socks who want to do literally everything other than lift weights
>>499400549I'm not porting my game to Unreal when I'm around 1000 hours into development. Though I do wish I used Unreal instead.

>>499400549What Unreal makes up for having multiplayer it takes away in everything else. I'd make my game faster in Unity even with having to implement multiplayer myself because of how much faster it is to develop in Unity.

>>499400660Bro I think like Sakurai mane I FIXED melee. If I challenge Sakurai to a melee match he will see the SOVL in how I play the game and want to save it from what the West has done with their fucking faggot tranny tourneys. Plus I'll be hiring a Japanese lawyer to do the negotiations for me.

>>499403701been looking for this game for ages, finally reunited.
>>499403329Doesn't mean they could take what they learned and finish the game. Anyway this patter is tiresome. Why should I be expected to make a fully fledged game by myself when game studios have entire teams?It's just not fair.
>>499403778WHAT? this cant be real, are they really that incompetent?
>want to molyneuxpost>it is actually a multi million dollar idea so I can't share it with anyone
Unreal is for AAA gamesEverything else is just basedjaks piggybacking off of previously successful games
>>499403975It used to work. I think someone is messing with them over the culture war nonsense or something.
>>499403859You're not competing with those teams, you're competing with these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqjx14YJfSsIf you think you should make millions of dollars like some other random lucky solo developer then that's just an expectation you set on yourself alone.
anyone have good ideas for molyneuxposts? im having a brutal creative block lately
I just don't know what to make...
>>499404070>Everything else is just basedjaks piggybacking off of previously successful gamesthats basically what the unreal engine is, not even basically that's literally what the unreal engine is. it's not only piggybacking off the engine but the name of the game that made the engine successful.
>>499384389I'm 34. Broken in many ways, a miracle if I ever get rolling again. Again and again I trim my dreams and face the misery of having lost one of my mind children. It's not about the sadness in itself, it's about the emptyness where even liking yourself won't make it worth the suffering of living.Some of my projects have been finished, they are so little and they feel useless.I'm ill with little to no support and struggle to climb the stream back against the tides, or even slowdown my fall. It's been years and years I did not get access to a place where I can safely sleep without being in fear of a neighboor waking me up. If I reach 70, it'll be a miracle.But then, make the calculation. 70 - 35 = 35.As I and maybe (You) too, goes through the second part of your life, if it's not already done... In my case, if I make even 1 shitty thing a year, I still have 35 shitty things to do.Will they always be shitty? I don't know. But what man, what boy could stop trying when so much is yet to be done? Even if it's after 15 shitty years that you make a good game, don't you want to try?At any moment if I had an easy way I could pull a trigger on my face. The remnant of my lazyness protecting me from buying a gun, and my self compassion telling me not to do it.In the meantime, I have 35 more attempts.How about (You)? Whatever you do, game or something else, you have things to try. My only hope is that if you give up, you'll be sure it's for something better. I can't be everytime here for myself, but I can be sometimes here for (You).I wish (You) well.
>>499404209I'm actually making a real tangible game with new mechanics, that's why I need a team to make a professional game. The fact that Unreal 4 is incompatible with Slippi's rollback system is the darkness at the end of the tunnel. Huge massive wall that I can't possibly hope to scale due to limitations beyond my control.

>>499399269What you don't understand about Nintendo is they hate rehashes and want every game to have a new gimmick or spin to it. This is a known issue with their game development process. They also really don't hire out of house anymore like they did back with Rare, it's all in Japan. Sorry to say but you are NGMI if this is your plan.

>>499406650And yeah it's not a smash clone but they have published them. What do you lads think?Just showing them Slippi's revolutionary rollback source code and hinting at the changes I'll be making to smash should get me in the door, no? The game is riddled with new ideas. It just simply has the smash physics, it's completely different otherwise.
>>499406626probably just padding out the animation course. like 3 of my textbooks in school were shit about art history that had nothing to do with anything, not that that stuff isn't interesting but it doesn't really have anything to do with why you are there.

>>499407505omg you're the blockbench anon, i imported a model in godot and have a test animation and everything but i have no idea how to make it move or even establish it as a 3d character due to nodes :(
>>499407484If I tried to make the game I would be delusional. I need a team of experienced programmers to make the game. I might as well try. If not I'll have to do it myself and it will take years. Implementing Slippi's rollback code into Unreal's online steam subsystem is apparently going to be a next to impossible challenge for a C++ noob like myself.Gonna take a lot of vyvanse
>im a black girl nodev teehee btwThis is Ronnie Redpill doing one of his creative writing exercises, fyi
>>499407670This.It's a stone cold fact that we non-tranime non-pedos are going to make it because of the simple fact that we break the mould in this day and age
>>499407505any animations on these crackers?
>>499407534Just make a game that takes the accumulated effort of 300 people bro.
>>499407724sakurai already made smash ultimate tho, he wouldn't want to do the same thing twice, even if he did is it just smash bros but with characters nobody knows about?>>499407818i'm not a nodev tho, i'm just a yesdev in waiting
>>499407818You're jealous, lolI am so passionate about my game I'm willing to seek help if that's what it takes to make it happen. I've been wanting to make this for over a decade and it started out nothing like smash.
I tried to teach my wife blender but she barely can use a computer, i fucking knew i should've married an asian woman instead of a wh*te girl
>>499407724You aren't getting into any of these companies on a prayer and a game pitch. They would need to see something that showed actual competency and merit, not just your suggestion of something that MIGHT be good and all you need is a team no questions asked
>all my Unreal assets are goneWHAT THE FUCK TIMMY!!??
anyone have next fest stats/learnings to share?
>>499407965yes lol, but surely there's a way it can be done at a smaller scale, like dark souls is just a bunch of bosses, the map isn't the focus from what i know so it doesn't have to be bigand when it comes to assets ps1/n64 low poly exists
>>499406626>>499407243yeah pretty spot on, the program requires a history of animation or history of video games course to graduate. the history of video games didn't fit my schedule so I took animation instead. the degree is animation and games so you can switch between the 2 to fit requirements
>>499407975No...it's not smash. I can't really say anything other than that. He said Ultimate is the last game and he wants to retire. This could be the successor and be a kino Nintendo franchise as well. He would totally understand the SOVL put into the game and I'm building off of ideas he had that even the player base did not like because I get him and I get the game better than pretty much all the other players. Here's a hint:Fuck camping
>>499408254Yes, you do it I a PS1, N64, or Saturn style low poly, pick your poison. It's possible so long as you are strategic.
>>499408254The exploration and map design is a big part of souls. If you make it just a boss rush then you're leaving out the RPG aspect of the game since combat in those games isnt its strong suit.
>>499408231tokdev said 3000 dls 1500 wishlists
>>499407703>you're the blockbench anonI don't think so?>>499407935Trying to get some prototype of their attack and spell/ability animations down, but nothing final yet
>>499408083>ai generatedlmao>>499408061nobody's jealous of a game that can't exist due it needing nintendo's dev team
>>499408348Sakurai doesn't control smash, he's a trusted dev by Nintendo of Japan proper for his work. He has a credible background. The work culture in Japan has already set you up to fail if you even attempt this, especially if you aren't Japanese or White.
>>499408125If I do the hardest part I might as well flesh it out with an easy smash tutorial and add everything else. Only issue is online play but maybe I can just reverse engineer Slippi's online code. Fuck it. I guess I'll just make it myself. It would just be way easier with a team of programmers if I could go all Miyamoto on them, they would have a kino game in less than a year. Always willing to aid the samurai but if they're going to make it impossible I'll just have to design new mechanics by fully learning C++
Every day this fucking place gets worse.
>>499408520Cry about it Ronnie Redditpill, AI won.
I fucking hate Doom clones. They take everything that Quake and Marathon innovated and built and completely throw it out the window for the lols. If you are making a Doom clone fucking take your own life. End your existence NOW
>playing cool mod for a game>one of the devs included a transformative item named after themselves that makes the player look like an anime girl and mentions it tasting like estrogendude what the fuck is wrong with trannies why include that in the game
>>499408446oh i guess you'd just have to shrink the map, resident evil can make a single house feel like an interconnected mysterious world>>499408490if i recall you mentioned blockbench once>>499408769i wouldn't make a doom clone, only an elder scrolls arena/daggerfall clone
>>499408856what game are you making?
>>499408856>noo you can't do whatever you want in the game you've made through your own hard work you need to only do the things approved by me the guy who played the game for a couple minutes
>>499408623Don't worrytomorrow it's getting even worser
>>499408945sci-fi chudlike
>>499408559I'm White and I speak Japanese, they would love this game. It's like if Smash went SS3
I'm 38, never coded, never drawn, low IQ, mentally ill, virgin, what video game can I make to become a millionaire?
>>499409179A millionaire simulator.
>>499394735I'm guessing most of that goes to the animations, although $600k should be nothing to the guy who directed kirby and 5 smash games.
>>499408446Go look at The Big Catch (Tacklebox demo is free), and V.A.Proxy (demo is free) for ideas on how you can accomplish this with lower fidelity graphics
>>499408856based
>>499408520It can exist but it will take years of my time when I'm already juggling roid usage with mangadev, musicdev, djdev and webdevI'd rather get the game done now so I can pay for my travels abroad and start a family alreadyPlus it will be done by professionals and I won't be pining over anything that's unsatisfactory for ages which is such a headache. Imagine needing to go lift all day and being stuck on a simple compiler error.It's maddening
people who make soulslikes really don't seem to understand what made people love those games. They think it's all artificial difficulty and roll dodge boss fights. It's literally what Fromsoft did with Elden Ring. Retards who don't see the forest for the trees
>>499408145>my assets>oh no no no *laughs* *snorts* hahahahaha
>>499409458>I have an amazing game idea but I need an army of Nintendo's best coders because I just want to get high and lift weights and never have to do any workNgmi
>>499408856Extreme mental illnessDoesn't stop it from reading like a comedic skit thougheverA true tragicomedy
>>499408856>>499409683>item makes your health drop to zero 10 seconds later
they say you are here forever (4channel) but it doesn't seem like i'm interacting with the same people of 4 years ago
>>499409657Look, I'm just doing this cause my brother tried to convince me I could pitch the idea. Is there any solid reasoning behind why I shouldn't try and pitch my game when we go to Japan next year? He's basically forcing me to try because I am the only one in the immediate family who is broke as shit due to only working part time seasonal positions and collecting unemploidment. Just stick to the facts. Is it possible to pitch an idea that would ingratiate me into a team of highly skilled game developers and give us all an opportunity to make something amazing together?
>>499409983Kalemnigger killed all of the old devs
>>499409983Yeah because half of them trooned out, the rest gave up because they were NGMI with game dev.
2 questions guys:- Is UE5 a lot different from UE4 in terms of interface and workflow?- Any recommended source of courses/tutorials to get the ropes? I know the fundamentals of codingI'm also checking the OP resources and I already see a lot of stuff
>>499409854>compressed 8-bit sound-byte crunch>"ACK!"
>>499410135Only retards use the latest versions of any softwareUnreal Engine had already peaked at the time of UE2. You're fine using UE4
>>499410076I'm going to give it to you bluntly because I have some experience with sales and the Japanese in business... No, you don't have a chance in hell if that's the best you have. There's also a ton of other cultural customs and bs that you have to be knowledgable of to even want to make a sale to them, but even then if it's shit... Well...
>>499409179why do losers like these lean to gamedev? gamedev is work and not play idiot
>>499410076
>>499410076the best case scenario is they 'hire' you as a consultant and steal your IP, the bad case is they buy your idea for a nominal fee and steal your IP,the worst case is they hear your pitch, decline you and steal your IP.
>>499409983the fun part is when you finally make it, the people who endured the hardship with you here already left and the new crew calls you a nodev whodev
over desu ne....
>>499410341What if I pull some money together and hire a lawyer? I have a detailed game design document and several drawings set up. Perhaps, PERHAPS I could even make the defining factors of my game and give them a basic working version of it. It's not shit, it's basically smash on roids. I've been wanting to make it for over a decade and it's inspired by real life experiences like Miyamoto-sama
>>499409983Why did you stop interacting with me?
>>499393579>The other 90% is art which is way harder in 2D.Yeah I’m sure Terraria would have been far easier to make assets for if it was 3D.
>>499410547>the people who endured the hardship with you herenobody here even acknowledges I exist
>>499410432I would definitely get a lawyer and not sign anything until I would be getting royalties and set up for life but yeah I get you, I don't want my shit to get stolen. Even with great honourable Japanese I am cautious
>>499410076thank god gullible people like you exist
>>499410694hell yeah
>>499410753He's just made me anxious is all. My family is very peculiar about money and since I owe my parents they are always badgering me nonstop. If I try at least they won't badger me as much and I don't have to turn off my phone service to stop daily texts "nudging" me to make more money.
>>499410748you don't have anything, an idea is just an idea.>this is my lawyer, i now own whatever random shit i think about. rocket to mars? sorry elon you have infringed upon my intellectual property!
>>499410917They don't really hire outside of Japan anymore for this sort of thing. It's not the 90s anymore. Getting a job at Nintendo as a westerner is extremely hard without a vast portfolio, and they arent going to hand off a flagship first party title to someone with nothing to show
>>499410076>>499409458>>499408061this cannot be realhow can someone be so out of touch with reality?As if an idea is worth anything. How old are you?
>>499409458have you ever produced anything?
>>499410086Your schizoposting is why the yesdevs leave
>>499410606who are you ?
>>499411059I have the controls down and am like a few lines of code away to solving the main feature of the game, the second feature sounds difficult but I actually haven't even tried and can guarantee it's not going to be as difficult as what I'm working on now. I just have too much other shit going on right now. My brother is going to take over my house so he can work remote and make big bucks and I'll be going back to carlife on the west coast working overtime raking in cash so I can buy land. If I can make this side trip to Japan profitable and see my dream come to life that would be incredible. No guarantees but I might as well try or at least make absolutely sure it won't work.>>499411101It's not handing it over and I'm not even gonna be on the team. I just want royalties, enough to be comfy and not have to toil doing carlife with my poor heckin' pupperino.It is almost entirely different to smash and an awesome sovl successor if anything.
>>499411191>>499411257I can make the game but I'm busy and it's going to add extra challenge to my life that could be solved with help. I am essentially only a few lines of code away from creating a working model but it's very difficult creating the new game mechanic.
>>499411509i am me
>>499411462Good. I have never seen any praise or attention from any of those salty old fucks
>>499411917And it's just like, if I create this mechanic why even bother giving them the working model? At that point I'm locked in, hard part's over.
>>499412084>PRAISE ME PRAISE MEfuck off
>my idea is so good i'm going to sell it to Nintendo so I can retire early! I could make it myself but i'll grace Nintendo with my game idea. My prototype is a few lines of code from being done!fucking kill yourself
How do I set static types for a dictionary in godot?
Dear diary: There was a time I thought I was delusional about game dev but at least I am actually making progress on my game and enjoying h learning process and not suffering from a schizophrenic delusion about selling my never before done idea to Nintendo in the current year. At least there are less avatarfags today. I have never felt more like I'm GMI than I have right now.
>>499410841ummm, hello? yes, i'd like some more of that KINNNOOOOO!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pniZez-iA5E>if youre in it for the money go fuck offwhat a powerful message.
>>499412221>umm you should coddle and support the entrenched elite even though they act like you don't existhow about you fuck off nigger. You're either one of them or some complete nodev whodev loser dragged in from the street. I don't know which option is worse
>>499412256>>499412420Jelly af, kekNo one has said it's impossible yet
pong, but sexy
>>499407818Oh god dammit if this turns out to be true
>>499411609like george carlin said 'they call it a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.'you are talking about getting royalties from a from one of the largest video game companies for for controls and a 'feature', a company that has hundreds of years worth of collective experience in game design.if the 'feature' is all you need to make the game pop then do that and prototype it, kickstart it and hire a small group of people.
>>499412698>Average IQ of 76Imagineer actually thinking there is a black game dev who is also a woman here
>>499412765It's a fresh new game mechanic that's boss afI don't trust Western devs or people on Kickstarter not to steal my ideaBaiting them into a contract and revealing my epic ideas sounds based and I just want to make absolutely sure that's not a route I can take before I do everything myself
>>499412951
>>499412951That's literally not a route you can do. Ts impossible. I've already said as much in polite terms. If you think like this and are only in it for "royalties" so you can live comfortably for the rest of your life you're looking into the wrong industry and the wrong company. That sort of thinking is antithetical to Japanese business and will get you turned down before you even get in the door.
>>499412765you don't understand, my idea is revolutionary and Nintendo will definitely buy it for a hundred thousand dollars. I'll be kind and not ask for more. But if they don't give me at least that, fuck it, i'll do it myself with my brother while living in a car bro
>>499413149he's just trolling at this point.
>>499413149It's really not that hard to believe>copy smash tutorial>use chatGPT to make epic changes>already made a fuck ton of 3D models, music and sound effects cause I'm a kino artist>vyvanse prescription >plenty of weedI'm just feeling rushed and uneasy cause my brother is going to take over the house so I can go make some real money outside the shitwest.
I am learning how to write music
>>499412792well to be fair i'm not a game dev yet, but when i become one i'll be like the best dev, like todd howard with an infinity gauntlet and an odd taste for 90s 3d nostalgia
>>499413207I want to believe.

NTA but I swapped to Ableton from Reason and now use Renoise because muh trackers but with modern VST integration
>>499413661Are you seriously focused on something so trivial? Wow this really will be a sinch if people are impressed by something as easy as that. Alright guess I'll go back to my revolutionary code. Not going to get any help outside of AI and source code/tutorials anyhow. Everything is becoming solodev. Even life itself
Fall is hereI'm going to fill my ass with leaves and develop a game about smashing pumpkins over people's heads and stealing candy

y'all niggas is gaybut even more importantly y'all niggas is dumb as hell

assets>code
>>499414393yes but not you if you're planning to have your game done by nintendo lol>>499414882both are necessary, assets without a game are just an art project, if only i knew how to code and node :(
do not respond to any anons asking you for their game idea as they're looking to steal it!
>>499415186Whats your game idea anon?
>>499415465skyrim 3 with sex
I spilled my donuts again while devving...
>>499415578i want to see you in the office on Monday morning.bring your lawyer, we have some paperwork to sign.let me be the first to welcome you to the team.

>>499415782Fat fuck
>>499415782i spilled something as well...
>>499415065Actually yeah it would be the perfect successor with their help.
i miss that one anon that posted about he ate a bucket of chocolates before devving. you will be missed.
>>499416290What have you spilled?
>>499416452He was a werewolf and died. That was a cry for help before a suicide, you insensitive prick.
nobody is ever going steal your game idea:>they don't care>they don't like the same things you do>they're not emotionally invested on it like you are>your idea will likely require months or years of full time work and/or a lot of money. it'd be a major decision and they're not suddenly going to change the course of their life upon hearing of your idea to start developping it>if they have the intelligence, time, skills and money to turn an idea into an actual game, they'll prioritize ideas of their own, that they have an emotional attachment to>likely thousands have thought of something similar to what you have come up with>none of them had the power to turn this idea into anything concreteI hope it makes you more comfortable sharing your projects
think I figured out how to bake real-time lighting into vertex colors. only weird thing is having to turn every object into a single mesh, but it seems like you can split them back up afterwards anyway. in the bake panel in cycles, in Output, set Target to Active Color Attribute otherwise it doesn't seem to workleft is the Cycles render, then the vertexfollowed this guide if anyone is a PS1 / N64 fag and wants to try it, a lot easier than vertex coloring manuallyhttps://imgur.com/a/vertex-color-basics-blender-to-unity-IBvI6HI

Mumberg displaying controlling psychopathic behavior and getting in the way of my financial freedom so brotherstein suggested I pitch my idea after telling him all the details. Already dealing with a fuck ton of stress and these negative comments aren't helping at all.

So I can get the fuck away from her and her controlling fucking behavior making me go broke with every paycheck and trying to get in my way of a full recovery with financial turmoil and nonstop fucking texting me every fucking day.No nature or inspiration in the shitwest and all I want is to get in my fucking car and go to the mountains.No one fucking has it has hard as me in this general. I need help I need encouragement I'm at my fucking wit's end all she fucking had to do was leave me the fuck alone!
>>499418552tldr
wtf is this schizo babble?
>>499418661Ignore the shit tier bait. And if it isn't laugh as he fails to sell his game to Nintendo instead of getting a real job.
>>499418594Don't care posting carwaifu anyway. Imagine if I could fucking do this and buy a sick gaming laptop and finish the game. But I can't because my mom is ruining my fucking life!
So many devs took the opportunity to set their pro version (the default in the unreal market) to 3x+ the price of the og.

>>499418285a single crouton
>>499418285probably a good example of someone taking an existing nintendo idea and making it better.also making what i imagine is over 10 million by this point. dude wasted 5 years of his life making stardew when he could have just booked a meeting with nintendoKWAB

>>499418552>>499418750with a tragic backstory like that maybe you are based and gmi, but relying on others to make your game isn't a good idea, and anything based on smash bros sounds like slop

>>499419189the stardew valley dev won, he didn't need nintendo to make his game, and now he has all the money instead of nintendo taking a cut
>>499419303the licensing model is a total mess. I also don't like that they start their professional tier at 100k a year which is extremely painful for small indie teams.
>>499394852I've been improving but the bar has been rising too, so I'm kinda where I've been except 15 years older. I should have done 10x more networking and 10x less going to the gym.
why is eric still with his uggo gf
>>499419627Realistically you aren't going to even make close to that with the guys Steam and Unreal already take

erm i just noticed that we are talking about eric barone's life even tough it's off-topic and i just wanted to say; you are based sirs, let's keep the off-topic eric barone talk going!!!!!!!!
>>499418876its tricky because now the 100k treshold is too low but otherwise big corpa will take advantage of you
>>499419705its called unconditional love and honor
imagine making a successful a game to impress women to only lose to some pretty emaciated twink in a local rock band
>>499419705she's not ugly, that's just how women look without makeup
I am completely and unironically fucked. One of my teeth has started to crumble. I cannot go to a dentist because they will definitely find more cavities and insist on fixing them. I cannot afford this until my game is finished because all my savings are intended to keep me living comfortably at minimum expenses. Finishing and shipping my game will take months and my tooth might get awfully bad until then.I am quite literally in a race against time.
>>499419761wow that's based, the character body and collision, and shape nodes have been throwing me off since no way of arranging them i've tried is free of some error, but it should be okay to make something move without them
I'm gonna sit here & practice pixel art until I'm at a level where I can finally have some good looking shit for my game. Wish me luck devbrothers
>>499419383yeah i didn't realize the game was so old. good for him, i loved harvest moon when i was a kid.
>>499419758Unreal takes nothing until you make a million
>>499419824But no big corpo is making JUST 101K per year. It should have been 500K or something.Just for reference, some annual revenues:Paradox Interactive: 0.23 Billion USDSupergiant Games: 3.8 Million USDLarian Studios: 75 Million USDDo you see what I'm saying? And those are the small corpos, I won't bother talking about studios working for Sony and M$.
I only respect originallike devs like Hopoo.

facts: people complaining about assetflipping are third worlders too poor to afford assets in the first place

who wants to team up and make a game together
you will never be a game dev. you have no game, you have no code, you have no art skills. You are a clout chaser twisted by years of twitter game dev posts with delusions thinking your assetslop will be the next stardew valley.
how do you get cool ideas for characters and armor sets and weapons and areas
>>499422676no thanks. I hate people.
>>499421851>gotta spend money to make money bro!>30% to steam>thousands in assets>30% to a publisher to post on twitter>127 wishlists>12.99 15% offkek
>>499422539what are you implying? That you should make your game such generic slop that you can be able to use any asset you find?
>>499422712can smell the pixelshit off you
>>499422425>he thinks jeets care about assets matching or visual consistency LolLmao
>>499422712you can't demoralize me
>>499422676Only if I get to be the boss and tell other people what to do but not do any actual dev work.
>>499419403No it's totally fucking over smash retards, any smash tourney fucks would hate it.I'm just barely holding on and don't know if I can even get to the fun part of gamedev
>>499422425Its usually easier to modify assets to fit in your game than to make them from scratch.
>>499419925dont put food in your mouth more than 3 times a day.only allowed beverage is water. try your best to reverse (((cavities))) - aka soft teeth that can be hard againavoid the amputation of part of your teeth(drilling)if you go to a dentist they will poke your teeth creating those cavities and telling you to fix them, which is a problem, so try your best to only let them touch the problematic tooth
>>499422959what is the fun part of gamedev if you plan to have nintendo make it for you?
>horrendous post>post content is related to stardew valley/BaroneWhy is this so common lately? I don't remember any mention of either just 2 years ago.

>>499422712>a clout chaser twisted by years of twitter game dev postsi suspect this is the case for most people into indie game dev. even just reading random posts around the internet it seems like people have a very skewed idea of what the process is.

>>499425948Thanks for the replies because now I know for a fact that the monkeyball cloner is one of the biggest simps for the inner circle that I keep arguing with in this shithole. I want you to understand how pathetic you look. Do you think they will pat you on the head if you suck up to daddy osur and the gang enough? Sniveling bitch
>>499426148>"inner circle"yeah, you're a schizo. got it.
Yesterday was all about lighting and shadows and whatnot- I added a working flashlight, shoplights with a lightswitch, headlights on the car that can be turned on/off, and a whole damn bunch more. Today I finally tweaked the in game TV how I wanted. I added channels and the ability to load multiple files (of pretty much any type). It works like there's a folder for each channel (12 to start the player off but you can make as many as you want) and you just drop files in and they'll play randomly on that channel! It won't repeat either (it will if it didn't JUST play last). If you just wanna watch a movie, put it on channel 30 or whatever where there's nothing else on, or put a bunch of movies together or episodes and have a scifi channel or a cartoon channel or a horror or whatever. By default channel 1 has a bunch of public domain cartoons (thanks for the suggestion anon) and channel 2 has a bunch of old PD commercials it'll play through. But if there's an empty folder, it'll play one of the 4 static videos I recorded from my own TV. Next up is doing all of this but with music and a radio with stations.
>>499425707i feel like a fucking hack doing that but i guess you're right.
>>499426353lmao is this really the best the nigger circle can muster nowadays? Looks like they can't enlist any actual talented devs anymore to lick their boots
>>499426353They're in the room with us right now, you moron.
I'm bored of this schizo, get some more entertaining material.
>>499425369okay
>>499426802I will now play your game if you can zoom in this close.
notice how everyone will keep saying the inner circle isn't real but they can't give any reasonable explanation why agdg is such a toxic stratified shithole when pressed about it. Almost like you're dancing around the issue and are afraid to call out the problem because le scary schizo was the one who coined it first and sheepy sheep doesn't wanna be seen as weird or maladjusted by the herd :(((Grow a pair nigger.
>dab on the eceleb schizo>dopamine hit>full dev for an hour fixing a bug that was bothering me since last weekmy game has schizo blood on its hands
every community has an inner circle. its not like agdg is weird for it.it's just exaggerated by the large variance in social skills of daggies.if you dont like the social hierarchy its because you fell to the bottom. social darwinism was at work in that. it is a reflection of your talent and skils, both gamedev and social.
>>499418285>hopoo went to the same university, but wasn't invited looooool
i'm literally always nice to everyone here. one guy talking shit for no reason, i'm just talking shit back because it's funny. if there's any "inner circle" i'm not a part of it and i find it funny that that guy thinks i am. i just like making cool things.
>>499427178i can smell your fear that the inner circle will be usurped when the outer circle feels like moving
i don't fucking care if some faggots are jerking each other off in a discord shut the fuck up about them
>>499426414neat. but why is the static so laggy
>>499427178Inobjective hierarchies are always a bad thing. You can't have a healthy community built around a hobby if you don't have a meritocracy. It's exactly like running a productive workplace. If you place less emphasis on merit and more on gay high school chimpanzee drama then you are going to encourage only the biggest shitposters to anally annihilate the place instead of giving actual contributing members to post their products
>>499427415they're jerking them off right here in the threadopen your fucking eyes moronyou ever wonder why your progress posts don't get (you)'s but some shitter game does?
>>499427445It's not the static, it's that I didn't wait the half extra second it takes the video player to kick in proper before changing channels again.
>>499427561I always assumed it was because the retards here just couldn't recognize my brilliance.
>>499427337that's it? that's all the samefagging you gonna do? that posts deserves at least 5 more replies, you fell off lil schizo
>>499427178>things are bad therefore we shouldn't fix them
how do you make a fun 3D game
>>499427460if you ever had a job in your life you would know those are exactly like this too.it takes an extreme amount of effort to create and maintain a true merit-based hierarchy. and as an anonoymous webforum filled with losers, our chance of that are fuck allname one good looking game in this general that is panned by its posters. it doesn't exist
>>499427796That is the exact behavior that plagues this place, yes. Notice how all the yesdevs left instead of bringing this place to fruition with their wealth and knowledge? Really gets the noggin jogging.
>>499427854Define fun anon, that's a good first step. Also is it fun to you or others? Does that matter to you? Next, do you have any understanding of any programming language or logic? You'll also need 3D modeling skills along with some audio software skills. Other than that, it's just effort and actually being ((capable)) motivated
>>499427796you cant fix it. that's what im saying. nothing can be done. you are an old man yelling at clouds
>>499428039Also I say you'll need 3D modeling and audio software skills, you actually just need to apply effort with them, you don't NEED the skills unless you want it to be specifically good.
>>499427987How do you know the yesdevs aren't here just posting anonymously?And your whining probably does more to make them leave than anything you're complaining about
>>499427987>post progress pics>want to discuss game mechanic ideas >thread is full of weird edrama>fighting over nothing >pedos and schizos dominate every conversationYa gee, wonder why the productive people who actually get stuff done don't want to hang around.
>>499427178I'm part of the lolidev circle
>>4994279504-5 really dedicated anons could have done the job if they had committed to enforce that hierarchy for a while (ignoring, calling out, and giving reality checks to the inner circle and forcing them to give attention to the good games that they refuse to accept as part of they gay clubhouse)
>>499428242>>499428243I post anonymously and I feel like I get a good amount done every day on my game. No one ever responds to my progress either but it makes no difference to me.
>>499428243ive seen this exact post like 20 times
>>499426414Nice!What's the game?
all this shit talking and edrama and it turns out it's all cuz some loser doesn't get (You)s
>>499428039i'll respond to this post by simply saying that i made nolgorb's ordeal so as to give you an understanding
>wanted to work on assets today>got bogged down while coding
>>499428503Thanks anon, you'll inherit a run down video store and you bring it back up, but also more of a sandbox sim, just run around town and explore or (when I get around to making my npcs) get into trouble with the local police, watch movies, keep track of who rents what and when and then repo the tapes if not returned.
>>499428735>some loserimagine if it was you. I am no different from you, that's the point. Most people here don't get (You)s if they aren't in the inner circle. I'm not particularly special in my role in all of this. Imagine putting in all of that work and then getting absolutely nothing for it. All this while the bland boring space game and a bunch of tranime pedobait asset flips rake in (You)s by the billions. I don't think you can put yourself in my place because you have never worked hard on something you believe in
don't care didn't ask, still gonna watch the DD stream
>>499425821Fair enough. Godot isn't necessarily fun to work with got to admit.Would have offered to continue the project but I really don't want to touch blender or 3D at the moment. I'd need to refresh my memory about the whole rigging process and spend time relearning the principles of animation etc.
>>499429070I like it.You should include a mechanic where you have to rewind the tape if the customer didn't do that. And then you track them down for revenge if they're a repeat offender.Also have a porn videos section of the store behind a curtain.
>>499429212Nta, but Anon I hardly get (yous) ever for my progress posts but who fucking cares? It's acknowledgement but you know what else is? People buying your game when it's done. Who cares what fucking people here of all places say or do or think?
>>499429526dont talk to it plz anon
>>499429481Kickass idea on the tape rewinder anon thank you. Also in regards to the curtained section, there's a corner part of the building that would be perfect for this, but it'd be up to the player to make their own adult tapes themselves. When I get to the tapes mechanics a little more, ill add custom tape features just like the channel feature, it'd just be a folder called tapes and whatever folders the player makes in there would be the name of the movie and would hold the cover art for the tape and the file itself.
>>499429526I agree with this anon, I drop it and forget it. It's nice to see a (you), but ultimately who cares? it's an anonymous location silly-verb forum.
>>499429526If you don't get any acknowledgement for your participation what even is the point in posting anywhere? What's the point of this place if it's just a collection of isolated loons each one screaming in his little box? I never get an answer to this. Why should this place even exist if you're just supposed to observe and be observed through a glass pane? I might as well go terrorize some thread on /tv/ with my progress at that point for all the good it does me. I might even get some engagement there because at least there it's a conversation, and not some monkey pile of screeching self-absorbed idiotsWhy should this place exist? What role does it fill?
>>499429882kek, good response. You won't get an answer back though.
>>499429882You build a reputation. It's not about one post getting a bunch of (you), it's about you being such a diligent game dev that you post so often that you are literally impossible to ignore. I've been quietly keeping mental notes of the repeat posters I've seen, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
android's new update sucks so bad, it's probably the reason why none of the joystick addons work... i try to open one and it says missing depencies and i'm like what the heck? the files are right there?? i went out of my way to install the zip from a browser because it doesn't work in the appi suspect it's because android made it so you cant access the data folders... which sucks literally one of the reasons i always thought android was better than ios is because it has a file directory you can access, now all of a sudden ios has folders and android has more restrictions *sigh* at least i got the character thing figured out, it turns out i have to use a meshinstance
My tragic backstory goes deeper than you'll ever know, being a Targeted Individual and allRecorded this audible voice at 3am last nighthttps://voca.ro/1aVWN4O1BBgUBut more importantly how is Smash slop?It's the most unique fighting game by far
>>499430240Build a reputation to what end? If people's progress is just disposable content to be dropped to satisfy the eyes of the mentally handicapped and it ends there why should anyone do it? In the deranged autistic hope that somewhere 6-20 months down the line your game looks slightly different and one single guy replies "hey I remember you. Your game looks slightly better. GJ"What kind of an insane person would spend years in this place if that's the extent of the value you get out of it? Are you well in the head?
wait my game isn't interesting enough to garner attention? no there's a top secret discord server that commands everyone to reply to specific posts. that has to be it.
>>499430240>You build a reputation
>>499429882this.>who cares if i post somethingis a completely retarded take. this whole thread is supposed to exist for people to post progress so that others can tell you if it looks fine and where it can be improved.if it was just about posting without caring then you can do that any fucking where else. this thread was supposed to be about fucking AMATEUR GAME DEVELOPEMENT.but no, now it's about e-drama retards spamming the same goddamn anime images for months end or narcissistic brown that can't produce shit after 10 years of polluting this place. 10. fucking. years. and to make it worse we now have a fucking qa reject in the thread too.
>>499429212have you tried adding little girls to your game?
>>499430650will this really fucking sell or will it ruin it?
I'm gonna behonest, one of the main reasons I stopped replying to progress is because no one was replying to my progress with anything beyond two word meme responses. The sense of community isn't there, so why bother replyng to some other schmuck who never would have replied to me
>>499429212i don't even know what the inner circle is, i like attention (especially from men) and (you)s, but when it comes to my game that speaks for itselfalso you're not beating the whodev allegations like this lmao
>still complaining about the shitter squarecle>nobody from there has posted in the thread in monthsget a grip
>>499427178there's no such thing as an /agdg/ inner circlenetworking here will yield you 0 benefits, it will only serve to parasitize off your limited timesorry you fell for the meme
>>499430502Why do anything with that logic? Everything is ephemeral. No matter what glory you attain in life, everything is forgotten eventually. Progress posts are just a by product of game dev. There's not really a "goal" in mind, at least I imagine for most devs. It's not like I am developing games for the sake of posting progress. I just do it for the hell of it.

>>499430971Well for starters working out will provide you with benefits to your body, energy, and healthDeveloping and releasing a game can win you fans and moneyPosting your game on twitter, reddit, and youtube has a tiny but very real chance to build you a following so that you can use that for promotionPosting here gets you nothing. A lot of bozos here try to pretend like there's some promised reward way way down the line if you just keep posting and keep hoping. But what's really the best you can hope to get out of this place? You can't get a fanbase, you can't get money, you can't get feedback, you can't get health, you can't get community, you can't get even just a crumb of mental satisfaction.People always do things because there's a possibility for reward. This place has none
>>499431431>People always do things because there's a possibility for reward.(You)s are dopamine for the deranged.
Innersissies this isn't making us look too good...
>unironically choosing the take of attention is only for crazy people
>>499431398A few months ago I asked if it was legal to copy all of a character's moves in smash and literally the next time I posted here I saw people talking about this dev's tweets on twitter who was announcing he would be doing the same exact thing
>>499431232mp3 320 is absolutely enough for an indie game
>>499431232I was blessed with an incredible ear for sound and music and I request that you don't make me listen to compressed garbage.Nah in seriousness I think I went with one of the ogg codecs to save space on music because that's fuck hueg in wav. raylib can't do a lossless format so it was my only choice.
>>499431609Holy fuck, this is basic human psychology. Don't stand there and pretend like you're some spiritually detached enlightened guru who feels no desire and no attachment. Humans always pursue rewards, even if it is just the promise of a delayed reward months or years or maybe decades down the line. If you're trying to deny this then you're arguing in bad faith because you refuse to admit the reality of the situation. /agdg/ has ZERO benefits for participation. This is literally the most pointless forums in the existence of forums. The oversaturation of the gamedev industry really was a mistake.
>>499431181In no way whatsoever is smash "slop"it's a one of a kind game with zero successful clonesalso not even cloning it, it's just that lucrative of a title that once you start messing with it then your ideas become too good to share

Obviously that also devalues it.There's also another obvious reason why people post progress: if you like browsing through the thread and seeing other people's screenshots, you post your own to participate and encourage the same behavior and to keep up the tradition. Kind of like voting I guess.
>>499432135sometimes you don't have anything to say but want to show some support. 'nice' is perfectly fine.

Successfully ran model viewer prototype on windows.Had to use dynamic linking, with static linking the program crashes, don't know why. This is not great because it would force me to distribute glibc and libstdc++ with my game but if I can't find another way it's good enough.I couldn't get the GLES 2.0 RenderSystem to work on my application either although the official Sample runs it just fine. I suspect that maybe externally created windows aren't properly supported for that render system on windows. I could get the OpenGL 3+ RenderSystem to work so for now I will just use that to get around the problem.

>>499424484kek. i dont even have a side project, i must stay focused on the main project>>499426802i like this picture, it reminds me of unturned, like your character was put in that game>>499427337unlike eric he looks like a twink that is actively looking for attention online ie him sharing pics of his food on twitter like he has no one else to talk to. probably why he took the valve job since he realized he was losing the attention. eric on the other hand does nothing, doesn't have to wagecuck to stay relevant, and women swoon over him lol
>>499433341>they do it because it's not worth the effort to type it out and solve a captchaso they come to a forum made to talk with other people about the games they are making and they refuse to engage with posts about people making games? Yeah that's not insane at all

>>499422616>FABLel. I had to try multiple times to get the free stuff, I assume there's lot of traffic. So nice of Timmy to make it a simple process instead of me having to grab all 17k+ assets manually. I'll have to check if it's really all assets or just the Quixel assets.
>>499434012what is agdg/?
>>499433795Stop baitingIf they have something of substance to say, they will get through the captcha, because it's worth itIf it's just about giving the dev a minuscule bit of dopamine with a one word (you), they might feel that the value in that is so low that it's not even worth the time to spend the captcha"Nice" is not "engaging", it's just an upvote that takes away 30 seconds of your life instead of 0.2

Break over will now try to pick up the dev pace I had going again and making the sunday records on sunday rather than late but for that first I need to do some improvements to the project management application. The UI now only supports as many assignments as fit on the screen and I have that many already. Since implementing scrolling right now would take longer than I'd like I will simply implement a way to hide completed assignments, that way as long as I don't have too many active assignments it won't be a problem and I can implement the proper interface far in the future after I do a complete refactoring of the project manager.

>>499433785Thank you for the appreciation even if you're not serious.

my game will be so good that the inner circle will invite me to be one of them, but one of the guys will catch feelings for me and it'd end up being a whole drama
