Threadly reminder that you don't actually have to make a game. It's perfectly fine to never make anything, spend all your afternoons and weekends watching TV and playing video games, and eventually die after a meaningless lifetime of nothing but work and leisure with no one remembering who you were.
good morning sirs
I don't really want to make a game. There's no passion or vision in me.Every day I just wait to get tired enough to go to bed.
This post goes out to all indie game developers. Never give up guys
>>499592805gooooooooooooooooooooooood morning sir
>>499592920Lol he can just go up and dance and hype people like that?Or does he sing?
I am not crazy! I know he faked those wishlists. I knew it was 29. One more than the Marmoreal review count. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got those idiots from the Inner Circle to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This tomfoolery? He’s done worse. My progress! Are you telling me an entire thread just happens to ignore hard work like that? No! He orchestrated it! Osur! He bullied that anon into killing himself! And I samefagged to defend him! And I shouldn’t have. I gave his demo detailed feedback! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was a newfag, always the same! Couldn't give attention and feedback to low-profile games! But not our Osur! Couldn’t be precious Osur! Demoralizing them dead! And HE gets to be a thread celeb? What a sick joke! I should’ve canceled him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to ban him! You-
>>499593018I'm only replying because I've seen you post this at least 3 times already and no one ever replies and I always feel bad.

Which part of game development will AI take over first? Place your bets!
I started to watch a feng shui course, and It seems I need more fire energy near my computer to generate more emotional strenght and leadership.Too few fire seems to cause me lack of initiative in my gamedev.Also I lack enough earth, which means I lack a grounding element to stabilize my mind.Also, a lack of water seems that I lack my spiritual and emotional power.And a lack of wood means my creativity stagnates.And I think I need to improve my metal, which causes me to be too much more chatty and critical.Need to buy some decorations of elements, print some posters and get a firewood LED lamp.This will be epic, papus.

>>499594705obsessed
im not a webdev but why cant we pack 1GB for a game inside the browser? imagine playing hades anywhere as long as you have access to a browser.
>>499594834bet.**post the art and the game you're supposed to make with it now.note that you cannot post only one or another, you have to both post the art and the game vision you have for it.>** nobody is going to care if your art looks like shit
just finished an absolute monster of a gooning session clocking in at 4 hours and 16 minutes. my arms are completely fucking destroyed and my whole body feels sore, i honestly feel like fucking killing myself now that i finished. i feel like i need a better way to reward myself for reaching each of my goals with my project but i have no other way of doing so where i live. also does anyone know what causes missing textures on fbx models upon loading into unity? they don't seem to be showing
>>499594932Your Himalayan salt lamp though? You do invest into moon energy for your game right?
>>499595140You can, but who will host that for you? Bandwidth isn't free.
Post your most retarded piece of code
>>499595345I had something like this and realized I didn't need to do it that way. I also realized why people hate functions in functions because that sends you all over the place. I've got like 20 helper functions now just to do this one thing.
>>499594375that's how they are but you have to remember that india is incredibly underdeveloped but they have smartphones and laptops, it's like giving high tech to rednecks
>>499595264how much would that cost roughly?

>>499595345I got a triple for loop I'm relying on right now. I'll figure out something to replace it with later. Runs fine for now.
>>499595140why would you do that though? playing anything on your phone is a garbage experience and if you don't have access to a PC why does it need to be in the browser?
>>499595231that doesn't sound healthy anon
remember unity 6?
>>499595456Yeah I've since realized I can just make a multidimensional array containing the information for all objects currently on screen and render based on that, but I haven't had the heart to change that particular function yet.

Did you make self care progress today?
I've been a complete loser my whole life. I was ostracized for my looks and lack of social awareness. That's why I decided to become an indie game developer in order to prove them wrong. I'll show them.I'll show them all!!!!
>>499596873Yep. That's how it is for me too on this night.

which aggy daggy characters would you buy a plushie of?
>>499595345The camera is one of the oldest classes in my engine and, while it's been updated a bit over time, its overall way of doing things is still basically from when I was just learning to program. So everything in it is all kinds of shit. I think this is the worst part of it.Some day I'll replace it with a complete rewrite but for now it's fine.
How do I stop working on something that's basically done when other things need attention? I keep getting ideas as I work on it that I would feel bad leaving out but at this rate I'm never going to get to the other stuff.
>>499598672Write a TODO comment on the next idea you want to add and then move on to the other thing. You can come back to it later.

>>499599301why wouldnt you envy them? you barely work and get paid enough to have a backup plan AND fund your game with enough energy at the end of the day. also those tech jobs are going away and being outsourced.
>>499595730i want to make a 2d porn game to make a buncha modafucka money. which engine do you recommend? i don't want to use renpy. should i go for unity or rpg maker?
>>499599545because that's still time that isn't put into yesdevving, and I've never seen them claim to be earning that much AND have a successful game. It sounds like they get too comfy and never actually make a proper game.
>>499599662i didnt get paid 6 figs but i got to work from home allowing me to work on games and learn when there's nothing to do.
>>499599657RPGmaker if you just want money, it'll get your game running as quickly as possibleif you have a passion for game design and coding shit, Godotif you really don't want to use RPGmaker but still lack passion, Unity
>>499599790>if you have a passion for game design and coding shit, Godot*UnityGodot is for FOSS cultists, not people with a passion for game development or programming.
>>499599879I guess those Unity 6 numbers aren't doing so hot, huh
>>499599879If you had a passion for game development or programming you wouldn't be using corposlop that's bogged down in extra shit you don't need, when you can just do it yourself
>>499599998Well, yes, enginedev is the best way to go. But if you're using a premade engine there's no reason to use one that is utter dog shit. Which Godot is.
>>499599478>0 proof>no game
>>499600070So your opinion is>use corposlop>or spend years doing enginedev instead of finishing a game>there is no in-between, why would you want to actually finish a game lmao
>>499599879>FOSS cultistsIt has both "free" and "open" in the name. How retarded are you?Who's ever heard of a cult where you can come and go as you please?
>>499600246Nta, but building the engine is building your game.Are you thinking of building a full featured general purpose GUI editor engine as the goal when you think of enginedev?

>>499600210let's see >>499593880>I never said it isn't AI>no gamethat's you though
>>499600246My opinion is either use a good and working engine like Unity or Unreal, or make your own. But don't pick a bunch of broken fossslop and waste all your time trying to fix a bunch of retarded spics' dogshit work.

>>499599301I lost my 6 figures remote tech job 2 months ago. Instead of finding a new one I went all in on finishing my game. It was a fun 2 months, but now the game’s done, sold zero copies, and I’m unhirable due to having a gap in my resume. Don’t make my mistake. Stay a six figures tech wagie. Quit gamedev instead. Don’t ruin your life.
>>499597013While crouching and the key is not held, run whatever check you make when releasing the crouch button every frame.
>>499600350I think there's valid reasons to do each thing and there's certainly an extra enjoyment/freedom in having even your working environment built by yourself. It's much easier to fix a problem you've caused yourself than fix a problem in someone else's software. My point is that Godot is a sensible middleground between enginedev and simpler engines (not to call Unity simple, it doesn't seem that there's a huge difference between Unity and Godot) and I'd recommend it for indie devs making 2D games, which OP is. I've made custom tools within Godot itself or handled my own lighting systems without too much trouble, if I need something custom, but the overall structure is simple and quick to work with, whether it's debugging and changing the code while playing the game or just using search functions to edit code over various scripts.It's nice that you can just run it and get started, rather than immediately booting to a log-in screen and all that Unity junk.
>>499601037How long did you work a 6 figures job?
>>499600706Compared to godot, absolutely.
>>499599790>if you have a passion for coding shit, godotHow true is this? Does godot let you get super autistic with the code and do lower level shit the way a framework like sdl or raylib do?
>>499601101>it doesn't seem that there's a huge difference between Unity and GodotThe difference is Unido and Godont
>>499600950You got CPU players?
>>499600528that wasn't me though
>>499601368it doesn't let you, it is required because the engine is a broken piece of shit so you have to dive in the source and fix it yourself
how do i make an action game without combat
>>499601368In theory you can modify the engine in any way you want and even put forward a merge request to get your feature added, but I'm not personally interested in modifying the engine itself. You can compile the whole thing from source.I'm just making shit inside godot instead, I've made an image editor to make tilesets / a custom level editor / a code and text scraper that exports any translatable text and translates from an external file. It's autistic but I doubt it's as super autistic as starting from scratch.
>>499601541ya but currently they just put down the tile they pick up once i have the base game locked down i wanna add little things like "this person tends towards tanyao, this person tends towards low point hands," etc etc idk im sure theres some cool stuff i could do for that
>all this coding misinformationnodevs pretending to be coders are fucking hilarious
>>499601556whatever you say you're still a retaded AIslopper who tries to pass AIslop as something you made claiming it as progress when it isn't
>>499601604I never see anyone say what these broken things they always have to fix are.
>>499601735like what? I'll provide a real answer so you can judge me.
>>499600569As someone making their own engine, it would be way easier to use godot and just fix whatever is wrong in the source yourself You won't have anything to fix because the people who wrote godot are smarter than you
Unified the interaction system today so now every intractable static object will be preloaded on the map, also got doors working without using nodes though they're all direction dependent so have to write some code to check for that, probably going to end up using doors that just slide into walls/ceilings half the time because I can't be assed although this is something I haven't seen a lot of people figure outAs far as the door/nav mesh though I am hacking it a little bit since the settings I baked on prevent the agent from figuring out how to get through the door frame if the object is in the trenchbroom node during bake, thankfully I can just move it script and all and bake the nav mesh which works just a bad hack because if I rebuild the trenchbroom import it'll put new doors inAlso forgot the script for this doesn't treat the doors as walls so technically enemies can cheat and see through them but probably not too bad maybe I can figure out something for it
>>499601808That is such a self defeatist way of thinking. That anyone who builds something is smarter than you, so you might as well give up.Don't listen to this guy.

>>499601909How is using an engine "giving up"?The end goal here is to make a game.
>>499601808>it would be way easier to use godot and just fix whatever is wrong in the source yourselfNo, because then you're trying to wade through a massive pile of crap instead of just starting with a clean slate.>You won't have anything to fix because the people who wrote godot are smarter than youI'm of pretty average intelligence, maybe a little bit below average, and I can guarantee the retarded spics who wrote godot are not smarter than me.
>>499602028If you had a desire to build an engine but then you said "well, I can't do any better than the guys at Unreal. So I guess I won't build it."Then you gave up on building an engine.
>>499602028Exactly. The goal is "make a game", not "fix godot". Download Unity and make a game.
>>499601943good post man keep it up kill yourself

>>499602293It isn't shilling. It's just a fact. If you're in the business of making games then use Unity. It is the best choice.

>>499602098I rarely have to directly fix anything wrong with Godot itself, anyone complaining about it usually just don't understand what they're doing and should go read the docs.There are some specific cases where there are problems, but every engine (including your own) has these problems.

there are only 2 important things as a deva) having the drive to just do itb) having the intelligence and skills to do it well, to become a top performereverything else doesn't matter. it's always the nodevs who focus so much on ideaguying, what sells, market, audience, drama, enginewars or whatever trash.also that's the most fun part about gamedev. the grind and the improvement. everything else is gossip and female behaviour.
>>499604434Ugh fine, I will do it next week when I'm free...
>>499604383Seconding this. Please tell me you have a link to the original texture CD(s) used by N64/Saturn/PS1 developers. I wanted to examine them to help with figuring out how to make similar ones
>>499604434why would they when they could make a model for their game?
what i hate about nodevs is that they intentionally make gamedev not fun with their dumb doomer mindset. it's like intentionally make their life horrible by how they approach it.

>>499604542Those things are strongly correlated. I have a strong drive to finish my game because I have high confidence of it being a reasonable commercial success because of my market research.
>>499602838But why?

>>499605218>why don't you waste your time making things you don't want to make
>>499605218The only time you mockup is UI and screens which for most devs here is already done. There's also no good reason to ask agdg about it because they're kind of dumb about telling you which is better.

>>499606248the have been there for a couple daysmaybe the big cylinders arent attractive enough
>>499605442was it another dev he teamed up with or was he waging for a company? the latter doesn't really feel bad or so i assume since at the end of the day it's not really my problem if suddenly is too broken to repair, i just quit, not my problem
>>499606281i dev when i'm motivated and when it's good for me. i never feel guilty about not deving.if i don't dev it means that i don't find it motivating and i'm not interested, and if that's the case why would i force myself? that's like forcing yourself to work hard on something that has no benefit to you.
>>499606409i think its waging. its been years since i first saw the video but he quit within a few weeks after getting his first dev job.
>>499605578it's depressing.i personally think(in a perfect world) anonymous boards are great for sharing creative works and ideas because it kills the ego.at least with /agdg/ its just a thread so the odd bit of tribalistic squabbling is to be expected, but /3/ it was every single thread and topic regardless of context.
>>499606671Ideally that's what I thought too, but thread kinda sucks recently when I came back after 6 months after finally starting a project... Though I have a personal rule that I don't like to share progress until it's something I'm 75% happy with because I was told that talking tends to not get things done more often than not

>>499607309This. I recommend Jon Blow. Multiple successful games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4M-j_Rl8VE
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2835570/Buckshot_Roulette/do you think the dev actually enjoyed playing his game? maybe at first but eventually you have to treat it as a business and complete the damn thing.
>>499607454>other people's games have nothing to do with you making a quality gameanon really be saying this with a straight face
>>499607304luck is just a shorthand for unknown and unknowable combinations of factors. like a roll of the dice is not random chance but physics, yet we call it luck.

>>499607482nobody should be listening to blow. every single thing he says is predicated on the fact that he's 50 years old and grew up programming in BASIC.
>>499607651It's not unknowable. Dice can be loaded. Cards can be counted. Probabilities can be estimated.

>>499608027Sometimes I think the grifters are happier than I am.
>>499607309I recommend Jeff Vogel. He has managed to stay in business for 30 years, and unlike most devs he is actually honest about how he did it:>I strongly recommend whenever possible that you be lucky. I tend to get in a lot trouble when I say this. There are a lot of people who, just to get through the day, they really need to believe that they live in a deterministic world that contains some measure of justice, but that is not the case, especially when you're trying to live in art. Eventually you're going to need a lucky break. Eventually you're going to need someone to vouch for you. And all you can do until that time is work your butt off so that when your lucky break comes, you are fully ready to jump on it and take advantage of it.

aren't there any long grindy, strategy/management type games that i can have on second monitor while deving?kinda tired of watching football manager, especially since most of those youtubers talk like sports commentators (especially the uk guys), so i can't find that many playthroughs with chill dudes.just dont want to sit in absolute silence and i also dont want to listen to music. also movies are too high in tension.

>>499607309when i was still getting into gamedev i quickly separated the teachers from the grifters, maybe they had no games but the teachers were useful for learning. i tried looking one up recently and it was hard to locate him. he gave up from the looks of it. now it's just mostly grifters who's tutorials are worse because it's usually just a one off video for very simple stuff that might not end up easily meshing well with other systems though that part is assumed since the grifters don't really seem to have dedicated teaching lessons. even amongst the successful devs some of them seem more keen at just doing stuff like a ted talk, what use is that for me? oh wow a success story where the dev now thinks he's some sort of gamedev savant and says the same stuff a faildev can say about how to succeed. oh wow as if that knowledge was a mystery
>quoteposter is anti-blowyou just can't make this shit up

So I know gamedev programming skills don't translate to much talent to actual programmer jobs. What do I need to do to become a progammer? Do I really need to go back to college in my 30's? If I don't, I see only a life of misery waging for low income doing work that barely pays anything worthwhile in offices full of women and you just know how those environments can be.Unless I make from gamedev or some other non-wagie endeavor my options are basically mentally give up and become a lifelong warehouse wagie/low tier job office wagie while slowly developing games in hopes of escaping the wage cage. I'd at least want some comfiness and the only high paying stuff I could myself even having a chance of being capable off without having to suffer women is programming.
>>499608595put some shitty stream on
>>499609749Just watch youtube, any idiot can learn programming.
>>499610004>expecting a frogposter to do anything productive
>>499609749Yes you have to go to college. No, no employer cares that you did indie dev.
Anons help me out here which do you like better for a party formation?>AEach individual member in the party can be set to front or back row like old FF or such>BSlots 1, 2, 3 are front row and 4, 5, 6 are back rowParty won't always be 6 members and you can set your characters in slots as you likeSo effectively formation is a 2x3 grid which could come into play with AOE abilitiesIn both approaches back row is going to be less likely to get targeted by the enemy but how exactly that plays out in game mechanics would differ
>>499610004I'm in the USA, they're not going to hire me just from being self taught. Though I can see that being useful for getting a head-start on the knowledge considering how college systems seem to act like you already need to know this stuff even for the beginner course or at least that's the vibe I've gotten. Might just ask during American non-neet hours since I think there's like 2 devs here who do this stuff as a job. Thanks tho.
>>499609749I wouldn't hire any software engineer without a 4 year degree from a major university. If you're actually competent, you can make it as a freelance webdev or gamedev, but since you're asking, I doubt that's the case.
>>499610250sir it's the year 2024, you need to change your beliefs
>>499605218these aren't mock-ups they're pinterest baitI can barely see any gameplay in it at all and the artstyle is just>generic pixel art
>>499610507You weren't supposed to reply seriously to anon.
>>499610118Well looks like I don't really have a choice I guess, current degree is far too useless for me to get anything well paying. Back in 2017 self taught programming was probably enough. In fact around that time even a self taught gamedev with a portfolio of one in progress game was enough to get a job at some triple A company though I'm unsure if he had a college degree which I suspect he did/was in progress of getting it so nevermind.
>>499610421You're right. A 4-year degree isn't even enough of a filter anymore. Masters or bust. You have to realize that, from a hiring perspective, I can get my hands on more a near infinite stream of bachelors+ applicants, so why would I waste even a second to look at some random 30+ y/o boot camper's resume. Some people can get in to places because nepotism, or they made a friend, but as a hiring manager, I need to be able to justify my candidate choices to my manager, and it looks way worse on my part if I hired a 30+ y/o no-degree fuckup than if I hired a 21 y/o fresh-out of a decent university fuckup.
>>499610421even back in the day the best of the best were dropouts lolpeople are literally retarded these days so i would rather a person who knows what they are doing over a person with a piece of paper that says they know what they are doing.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/11/the-elite-college-students-who-cant-read-books/679945/>Dames’s students now seem bewildered by the thought of finishing multiple books a semester. >Many students no longer arrive at college—even at highly selective, elite colleges—prepared to read books.
>>499610507My bad actually. I should have said fake game mockups. You can probably extract some usefulness out of them.

Do you think 'real time' and 'grand strategy' are conflicting ideas?
>>499610118>>499610250don't listen to these clueless morons no one will hire you even with a degree. You have to make it on your own; it's every man for themselves.>t. has a degree. Has never even gotten an interview
>>499611303because degrees don't mean shit over practical knowledge and creative problem solving.companies are inundated with applications from grads.
>>499611278i personally dont think so, but the game has to be built with the intend of being real time obviously. i personally liked to play stellaris with friends on the fastest speed while making the rule that we are not allowed to ever stop it. this gave us the feeling of actually having to manage a country, and if you went too big, you had to actually use the automation features and focus on the fronts in war or on a few planets to manage them. it is not the optimal way to play the game, but imo minmaxing stuff always ruins the fun. chaos is always the funniest
>>499611278no, just check paradox map games
my game will scare the heckin bajeezus out of ya!
>>499611750So we agree then?Because there's no way anything that showcases 'practical knowledge and creative problem solving' is going to make it past HR
good morning fellow neets, it's time to dev
Just had a Doug moment with Claude. Claude told me I'm stressing over very small optimizations and it is neglible. And Claude reminded me of the bigger optimizations I already made.
>>499611775gigabased
>>499611901HR is the backbone of every great company, truly unsung heroes.yes we are in agreement, shits fucked. i'm sure there are some workarounds and i know some companies are starting to see how bad that department actually is. i read a story awhile ago about a lead trying to fill some rolls and nothing came in so he submitted his resume and got rejected.sadly it will get worse before it gets better.
>>499611938Morning Fellow NEET.
>>499610789turns out zoomers are actually retarded
>>499611278As long as you don't have direct control over multiple characters like in RTS: Starcraft.Because yes that would be a problem.
is it better to plan things out or should i just start prototyping random shit?
>>499611278It depends how you define "real time", because a single sim tick in a GSG is typically either a day or some large time chunk like an hour and then scaled to your speed setting, rather than being 1:1 like in an RTS, but in the sense that real time just means "not turn-based", the ticks roll by continuously while you play, rather than making all your decisions and then clicking "end turn" then no, rather than being conflicting, they're actually conventionally paired together. All GSGs that I know are real time, and I fucking hate turn-based games and wouldn't play a turn-based GSG. Hell, I can barely stand turn-based 4X games, Stellaris is the only 4X I play because it is real time instead of turn-based.
>>499563358FUD!I had a large amount of new subscibers last month since the game was almost releasing and I replaced the free version with a demo. Most of those just subscribed and unsubscribed immediately, which shows up with a month delay on Graphtreon.>>499565226I wonder how releasing will impact the figures, but I think it mostly only affects the inflow. I won't get the people who subscibe periodically, but it shouldn't affect the long term subscribers.Anyway Patreon retains lost subscribers as "free members" so it becomes easier to pick them up later.>>499599657Use Godot, RPGMaker only works for smaller games.>>499601368You can use GDExtension or C++ modules if you run into performance bottlenecks with GDScript.

how would you make a rail shooter in godot
>>499613492Would write some code, make some assets, music and etc.
>>499613492It will vary a bit from person to person but the approach I would take is to uninstall Godot and install Unity.
>>499613525I mean the rail part...
>>499611278>>499612809>>499612481What I had in mind when saying real time, as in Starcraft, (But also pausable. I think hearts of iron is like that.) where you can see units moving. If you're going to control them individually it should be real time like that. But in grand strategy you don't or should not micro manage them like that. So maybe it should be like a 'go to next day' system. Which means I think simultaneous turn based.I have some ideas for grand strategy, and this question popped up in my head. I was planning on actual real time. but then I thought it would be distracting the player from grand scale planning. I was thinking it has to be real time down to seconds, because military or logistic units' arrival times are going to be important too. But building structures etc don't need that much real time. I guess I'll have to sacrifice one or think of a more inbetween way. I need more thinking on this I guess.>>499612809Can you give an example games for large time chunks? Or do you mean they are done in the background making player think it's real time?
I think I figured out the REAL way to use chatgpt for gamedev: plotting stats formulas in 3d so you can visualize the scaling
>>499610964>framerate starts tanking>gpu overheating artifacts appear>audio starts breaking up and crackling/popping
>>499612565Make a small plan for the specific thing you want to prototype. Plan all the variations you can come up with. Prototype them. Pick the best one. Make plans for the next step in all of the variations. Prototype them. Pick the best one. Keep going like that until you have all the features you want without exploding the scope and ensuring the game is and remains good as you add to it.Sometimes you come across a fun feature but it doesn't fit the current game. In those cases you should document it away for potential future use.

Disciplinary reminder that you are NOT done with devving until you have made it. Whatever happens DOES NOT stop you from devving UNTIL YOU'VE MADE IT
Added in Dive punching today. it gives a little hop when you do it so you can use it to get over higher ledges too. Still need to add more juice to it but not worried about that now.
>>499614779Not even death can stop you from deving?
>>499615031stop punching that catto!!!
>>499613661>Can you give an example games for large time chunks? Or do you mean they are done in the background making player think it's real time?Everything Paradox has made. Typically it's a day; for Hearts of Iron it's an hour (because HoI focuses on a briefer time period). Basically, each tick represents a day passing. It is conventionally played in real time, but it's scaled real time: in the time it took for one tick to pass in real life (let's say, one second), a day passed ingame. Conversely, in the time it takes for one tick to pass in a typical RTS in real life (let's say, one second*), that same amount of time passed in game. So GSGs usually represent time being very compressed - but it is still real time.*this can vary depending on the RTS. One might think they're being calculated at the same time as the program appears to run, but the time for a sim tick can actually be a lot slower than that, although still fast.>where you can see units movingMost/all GSGs feature this already. The units aren't really moving in 3D space, rather, they're progressing a "movement meter" between the source tile and the destination tile, often with a matching animation, and when they finish they teleport to the next tile, and if they cancel it then they just stay where they are; the map in a GSG isn't really a 3D space in the "physics and movement" sense of an RTS, it's more of a visualization of an array of tile objects and their contents.> If you're going to control them individually it should be real time like that. But in grand strategy you don't or should not micro manage them like that. Nah, unit micro is actually pretty standard in GSGs. For many players it's the main draw. In games like HoI4, encirclement micro is 95% of the game. In my GSG I'm going the other direction and mostly just handling warfare similar to HoI4's aircraft gameplay, which is probably a more risky move - most players expect and want to move their armies manually and do encirclements

>Barely a week left before the next DD>Didn't get as much done as I'd like to have>AgainEvery fucking DD, the same story...
>>499615421Okay, when I say real time I meant non turn based. I understand what you mean, the scaled real time etc. Well obviously the units will not be moving one to one scale as in the real world. It's going to be sped up in some way. But that also assumes the game has tile system. But if the game is something like starcraft where units can move freely, it's going to have to be real time I think. I was thinking of non tiled system. OR at least not strictly tile based. Starcraft with larger scale might be closer to what I have in mind.>because HoI focuses on a briefer time periodThis was helpful to hear, because I'm planning on much larger time period. So I realized why I feel like there is a conflict with what I have in mind and making it real time.>unit micro is actually pretty standard in GSGs>encirclement micro I think this is where I'm having the conflict. I do not want to micro the war aspect. At least not the 95% of the game. That also means if I don't want to micro I would be better off with some sort of turn based system. Maybe I have to figure out a way to keep it real time and a battle system that does not require micro. What I know for sure is if it is real time it has to be pausable. I'm in a preplanning stage now, I have to finish my current mobile slop and hope to have some money in my pocket to continue. Nice to see another gsg dev.

>>499612481why was no Z levels DF so kino
>>499616770>Okay [...] mind.You can do this. But bear in mind something - GSGs are typically very CPU-heavy and if you have a large world map and don't want it to run like shit, you should be making a parallel simulation. Representing the world in tiles makes it massively easier to parallelize because it's much easier to constrain the scope of what's being processed where, and just chuck a lot of the workload into a thread pool without worrying about locks and such. Also, if you really just want RTS gameplay, but bigger - consider just looking into Total Annihilation or Supreme Commander for inspiration and ditching the GSG aspect. Good RTS gameplay is already a monumental task without simulating a world on top of it.I wouldn't recommend turn-based for a GSG in any case. GSG players are accustomed to Paradox real-time GSGs and I don't think anyone wants turn-based. Every Paradox competitor that comes out is turn-based and they always flop or have only minor success.>I think [...] pausable. Basically all RTS and GSG games support pausing and issuing unit commands. Which many people might not realize for RTS, but basically every RTS will let you pause, issue orders, unpause, let it run a bit, pause, issue more orders, etc. You can play RTS games like that. Hardly anyone does, but you can. Same for GSGs.As far as reducing micro requirements - turn-based won't help you there. Yielding control to the AI can - and you're going to have to make an AI that can do unit controls anyways, for the non-player-controlled countries, so just slap on a button that lets an AI take over your military and you're good to go. Maybe let the players mark units for "manual control" and the AI won't attempt to move them even when military automation is toggled on, in case they want to just focus on microing in one place and otherwise not worry.
>>499614696finally I can live out my dream of being a wagie
>>499615031that cat got fucken dunked
why doesn't yancydev add his game to the steam chart we have?
>>499614696You do have a set of instructions somewhere right?
>>499617386Displaying your entire fort in 1 screen is comfy.Navigating through a 256 slide power-point presentation to look at stairs is anti-comfy.
>>499618339It's comfy to me knowing that there's more to the world than what I see.
>>4996184022d had this.All that blackness to the right? That's the unknown. That's all we needed.
>>499614779Gamedev is unironically one of the best chances I have at escaping the cage early but my skill is simply too low. I really want to make it so bad fren but the wage cage...I can hear the chains rattling and looping around my ankles ;_; they'll soon lock in and begin pulling me into the cage I HAVE TO MAKE IT OFF GAMEDEV, I JUST HAVE TO!!!!!
>>499615031I like it, I think it needs a bigger area of effect and something a bit more easier to see.>>499616764Not only DD but with releasing my game as well.>next DD, maybe (still unsure if I want to be a yesdev)>next year it'll be ready to go EAOnly for it to come and go :(
progress
neopets, but with a gorillion microtransactions and 3D.
>>499618841>game?
>>499618234still unsure how i want to do the liquid mixing, at the moment coffee in the cup is a bool and from there it changes an enum type when you use the foamed milkeverything before that mix is unrelated steps that can be done at any point since they're just seaprate objects and machines
it's like metroid but in space and your a girl
>>499618841add a cash shop
final fantasy 10 but with lite MMO mechanics like crafting, smithing, or fishing.
>>499607697I will prove you wrong...I'm guessing you relate them to enginedevs or something, then I could see where you are coming from, but I ship with unity
>>499618913If you don't want to model things like layers and just want to track the overall composition of the cup's contents, consider a hashmap, where the key is the id of each substance present, and the value is how much of it there is.
>>499618653Post your Skill?
>>499619552ok ill try to understand what you said in the future because my artsy skills are in negative all i know is programming
>>499619875damn thats craazy
just be a one-man Paradox, bro
no no no no no its all wrong the game is all wrong this isnt what i wanted to make
>>499619964only if you're polish though
>>499618884Eden Space Mission. dev is just getting started...some interesting stuff on the way...
>>499620004yeah iktf. redoing all this would simply be too time consuming. maybe the easier art style would be easier to pull off and draw a bigger crowd. but man the interest is so low that redoing all that art and even gameplay might end up being a terrible investment, worse than buying $10k in lotto tickets
>>499619295I relate them to obtuse, self-centered manchildren, and enginedev is just one result of refusing to adapt and learn new tools. Another would be making the game you want to make, rather than the game the market wants you to make. No one wants to pay money for a sokoban game, no matter how brilliant you might think your gimmick is.
>>499619964doesn't give a fuck about graphicsdoesn't give a shit about streamersdoesn't chase FOTMand set for fucking life
>>499620072Anon, I think the implication was "where is the gameplay", stemming from the fact that all that was shown was a poorly performing height map wrapped to a sphere.
>>499619964it doesnt sound that hard except for the ai part id have no idea wtf to do thereyeah sure you can conjure something but then its a mess and the game doesnt feel realistic

>>499620543This is normal in programming.
>>499620564text not scaling to resolution makes UI toolkit legit unusable in a real game
>>499620603reminds me of space jam
>>499620158you misunderstand, it's not a height map, it's voxels. The engine supports deformation of that spherical mesh. However that's not the only point, it's a starting point for powerful simulations. You'll see
>>499620641resolution scaling is done by the component on the canvas
>>49959301829 is better than i expected (due to genre)It hasnt been too long since release either
>>499620681>it's not a height map, it's voxelsThose thing's aren't mutually exclusive, anon.

>>499620854Yes they are, negro. Try restraining your bloodlust. Every single time you post you end up wrong.
>>499620943Anon, are you retarded? Do you need medical attention?
>>499620543do the percentage calculation yourself
>>499620543>>499620564This is apparently normal in gamedev. It's not at all webdev, which is where 80%+ of programmers are. I also complained about this in the Godot issues, and the answer was basically that core will never support it. Most games just pick a single resolution and scale it up with filtering. It sucks. Better games will use a 3rd party tool like these to build a modern, responsive UI, but they can be expensive.https://rive.app/game-uihttps://coherent-labs.com/products/coherent-gameface/https://www.noesisengine.com/studio/
>>499619964>The name of the game supposedly had to change from Age of Civilizations 2 to Age of History 2 due to legal threats from Firaxis Games, the developers of the Civilization series. Firaxis Games indicated that they would take legal action if the original name was not changed. Didn't know you could have monopoly on words.
>>499620985>Anon, are you retarded? Do you need medical attention?
>>499620854ok but the way the poster phrased it was that it was "merely" a poorly performing height map. And I am explaining that it's slow because it's loading voxel geometry into the sphere, and that the sphere has support for deformations. So it's not just a height map that you can throw together in blender.

>>499620543>godunity is realLmao
>>499592650So many /agdg/ games have released this year and it looks like there's at least another two. A mostly grim year depending on how you look at it ;_; It's looking bleak fren's. Up next is Monospaced Lovers and Tricky Madness in under a month. I may likely be found amongst the /agdg/ casulaties of <1000 reviews in the gamedev pits of 2024/2025. Who will break the cycle? Who? Has it just become so saturated that most of us including those that are highly wishlisted will simply fail?
>>499620695scale with screen size is the only option that works because everything else fucks it up and it's a shitty workaround at bestwebdev is done by allowing it to scale to any screen size or shape you want and UI toolkit is supposed to emulate that but lol no it's missing the most basic functionality>>499621012the point is I shouldn't have to do it myself it's such a basic fucking thing that should just work but 3 years later they still haven't fixed ityou can literally pick % for the font size but it doesn't change anything because it has not been implemented>>499621018UI toolkit was supposed to be the modern responsive UI option
>>499621064Notice how there was no actual ruling, just threats?

>>499621449proof?
>>499621423You don't even know what that word means then. Change the size of your browser window and notice how all the text boxes squish and re-align. That's what responsive means.>>499621449touché
>>499621064if it was a platformer nobody would care, but the rules are a little different when it's basically a clone of a product given a deceptively similar name to the original
>>499592779damn, I already have a well paid job, wife with kids and a game that my kids are actively playtesting and enjoying. Where did I make a mistake?!
>>499621585>That's what responsive means.
>>499592920literally who
i've done a lot in the past week but those were mostly under-the-hood things, stuff like making status effects stack and combine intuitively, figuring out and implementing stat scaling and design doc work. I also started working on ability upgrade system (using abilites upgrades them, reaching a certain upgrade level unlocks a new ability).
>>499621304If you don't have the money to fight it in court and it's not a slam dunk case in your favour, then a legal threat is all it really takes to coerce you.
>>499621682lil nigga strehh up cookin sum true ahh kinoludografique shieet
>>499621585It technically responds to you squishing the window but nothing about 4chan's native styling is responsive. That's just how the browser renders by default.The fonts are the same size. Any element whose size isn't being dictated by its text content stays the same size. The layout stays exactly the same.
>>499621682Holy kino!
>>499621635>clonethat word doesn't mean what you think it means
>>499620543Classic Unity. Half assing everything and then abandoning.
>>499621635It's not even in the same genre. Dude probably would have won if it went to court, but probably couldn't afford the legal fees and length of the trial.
>>499621064Nta but I too had to change my game's name thanks to some wealthy indie company that's quite popular trademarking my game's name just before I changed mine. It was such a brutal blow. Now I have someone who I'm 99.9% certain copied part of my game's title for theirs but unlike me they don't seem to care of the legal problems this could cause for them should I go trademark it.>>499621304That would mean the dev accepts a legal battle and could face huge costs since chances are the company would bill the dev for the cost of flying their lawyers over to the dev's jurisdiction plus the cost of their wages. Good luck paying the cost of infringement plus the cost of having said lawyers. Since it's a big company they'd probably get away with justifying a private jet over regular flight too and a 5 star hotel room for their lawyer team. Now he's saddled with a bill that's probably over $200k.

>>499622934Fucking got them.
>>499622825Croteam had a really good talk about frame pacing, it's on YouTube somewhere
>>499622934Reality is if you're using AI content in the context of a cohesive whole and it fits well, nobody will care. People hate on AI on 4chan due to the single-image-in-a-vacuum slop threads, like the dude on /tg/ who will post a thread with an inane question about elves and an AI generated brown elf with big tits because he REALLY wants to show off his EPIC PROMPT, and he does it again and again and again. That's obnoxious, a thread doesn't need to die for that subhuman garbage.But using it properly in a game isn't a bad thing.
Found a devlog of a game that's kinda like a 2D top down version of my game which is 2D side view. His looks better than mine. Seemed his videos stopped so competition was gone, or so I thought. His finally video reveals he saw the problem with making devlogs. Meaning he's overcome a potential disadvantage. But even with that, his game looks significantly better than mine. How do I even compete!
I hate panic attacks I seriously felt like I was about to die

>>499622934I've seen a game with AI art on the store page, the picture with the name of the game. The art clearly looked AI. From what I remember the game was selling well too, I don't recall the name though.>>499623369I've had on two occasions a strange sensation where it honestly felt like I was going to die. On one occasion I was laying in bed and started feeling this strange sinking sensation. Like my consciousness was shrinking inwards (imagine a video game where the field of view starts shrinking as the character is passing out, that's what it felt like except I wasn't falling asleep was the thing). For a brief moment I decided to let this feeling cover me and see what would happen. Intense fear overwhelmed me as the sensation became stronger "I'M GOING TO FUCKING DIE!" Jumped out of bed. This isn't something I want to test, I'm certain mental suicide is possible and I dare not play such a risky game.

>>499624291It seems like its a moving parallax effect that activates when the player enters an area. Its setting the progress according to the speed variable times the delta.
>>499624412wrong game, the AI thing is for the sequel which came out yesterday (and already 1600 reviews)
>>499625453people who prefer that explicit content in anime only includes adult characters, the anti means anti-l*liconthis is just a normal person lol

>>499625453anti is the japanese equivalent of the word "hater"
>>499624291With zero knowledge of Godon't, it looks like it makes something follow a path at a set speed while the player is in the area of the thing. Could be a platform.
>>499622934>>499623218That game uses AI in portraits, unit and building pictures which are all fairly small on the screen so you can't really see the imperfections unless you're really hunting for them. Seems like a decent use of AI generated images. Most people playing the game probably didn't even notice the disclaimer and have no clue it uses AI.

>>499628046to make a game for autists, you need to be an autistI dislike the genre. I don't like the idea of a sandbox pick-your-country and go wild with the game mechanics trite. I want an ending, crafted story and challenges to overcome. This is like a basic roguelike but in form of an excel sheet. You probably can sink hundreds of hours to create your fictional country to stretch from left to right and I think it's kinda pathethic.also this>>499628046>>499628371I've read couple of reviews. No tutorial, shallow mechanics, weird design choices. This also paints additional layer of bafflement for me as previous game had even more problems and it sold bazilions. I just don't get it and I also don't get why there's so many simulation games. Lawnmover sim? Really? That also sells?! tl;dr autists man...
>>499628371>uses AI portraits>well madePick one
>>499628604pretty good use of it for a solo dev. makes more sense than outsourcing a thousand art assets to some indians who are just going to ai generate slop for him.

>>499628976>imaginary argument no one madeTypical nodev
>>499628132damn, I just remembered a dream I had despite it being half a day ago now, or maybe even a dayit's animal abuse bait, you get options to harvest materials but the materials you harvest come from this sort of village-carrying beast that slowly roams around, kinda stegosaurus-like but much less scaley and more friendly-lookingit gets worse until eventually you've removed all its teeth and one of its legs, and meanwhile the party members or other characters involved are mocking it for being a dumb beast and that they wouldn't care if it died because they'd just get a better and bigger beast to carry them then (however that works) since this was a relatively small one compared to the really huge onesdream ended with trying to give the beast water but then some dog, knowing the beast was being abused, insisted on engaging RPG battle with the player who at that point was just trying to helpIt's far more compelling than any sort of story I'd ever write myself but I'm too much of a pussy to engage in that shit. It feels too disingenuous, simplistic and baitey. But that's the problem, I can never take myself seriously enough to write a plot that grips people from the start into wanting to finish the game.
>>499628215>>499628678you could apply the manner in which he uses AI images to a variety of genres>>499628334I don't play that much GSG but doesn't paradox have somewhat of a stranglehold on the genre? who else even makes them if you don't count Total War since it's sort of its own thing
>>499623369You deserve it
>>499628371You have to be brain damaged if you think that shit is well made. Like nigger you are STARING AT A BORING ASS WORLD MAP WITH A FEW TEXT BOXES ON IT FOR HOURS. Literally nothing happens. How people can find this interesting or engaging is beyond me
>>499629135idk the game looks really polished and feature rich, launched today with an all time peak of almost 8k players so good for him. i honestly don't see the issue using an ai generated picture of historical leaders. is there a valid issue you can raise against it?
>>499628678As a gamedev I don't know how you can have such a view on things. You should be trying to understand why games sell especially if you don't understand it.If you don't understand why certain types of games sell it might cause you to dismiss good game ideas that you have but similarly don't understand. You need to be able to look past your personal taste to be a great gamedev.

The truth of the matter is that EVERY addictive and successful indie game that's come out in the past decade and even many legendary studio released games of the past few decades share something in common with chess in that they're easy to pick up and hard to master usually with a low investement gameplay style. To deny this is to admit that you don't believe in the basic truth that legendary game designers such as Sid Meier or Peter Molyneux instinctively understood, and indeed many successful indie developers understand even if they may not have ever put two and two together. Study Chess and apply it to your game design or suffer the consequences.

>>499629910Yes it is. If you didn't know morality and taste in art are both subjective concepts meaning they differ across people. If someone happens to dislike AI art because of that they are free to do so.

>>499629714Does it add anything to your game? Personally, I'm not a fan of it. Depending on how extreme it is, it definitely can reduce visibility.
I keep adding useless shit that won't end up in the final gameJust added a mount that can be ridden by 2 players at once
>>499630469well it looks like a cool mount

It looks like it can make decent money on DLSite, Switch, and PS5. I doubt it'll get past 1k reviews on Steam, but I think it can do 200-500 within a year (slow trickle, week one performance won't be great). I haven't tried the demo, but hopefully they didn't make the gameplay too difficult, or at least included easymode options for low-skill gamers. Overall, I can see it becoming a middling success, assuming no major fuck-ups.
I never even looked into it but does Steam do any kind of automated testing on executables to enforce security or stability standards or whatever? I know consoles require all kinds of compliance shit. Hope I'm not screwing myself by running my own engine instead of Unity/Unreal...

How do you come up with small, but fun game ideas?Small AND fun. Something you'd play yourself.
discipline and hard work are mostly bullshitI've been the most disciplined in my life in the past 5 years but everything just keeps deteriorating. my first game was my most successful and then it was all going downhill since then. I'm trying to not use this as an excuse to start slacking off but it's tempting.
>>499632198But I only play big games?
>>4996301313
going from>here's how you render a single hardcoded cubeto>here's how you dynamically render thousands of complex moving meshes each with their own materials and animationsis a pretty big leap that none of the material covers very clearly...
>>499631267They do some sort of testing but I don't know how much of it is automated.
>>499632632Probably because up to "here's how you render a cube" is boilerplate with very little meaningful variation, but what you're asking for is how to write a scene graph which can be implemented in an infinite number of ways (most of which would be really dumb ways).
>>499630131>website, email, homepageWhat kind of Steam are you using?
>>499632198small is easyfun is easyboth is extremely difficultsmaller games are also harder to copy because there's less there to make it stand out and feel different unless you come up with some new wacky spin to it which might not do so wellthere's definitely a trend of puzzle game + roguelite combinations happening so maybe if you can come up with a new one of those that could be it
>>499631267>>499632868I'm sure they do a malware scan at the very least to protect their own asses from class actions when they distribute a rootkit, possibly also look for syscalls that a game wouldn't normally make that could be maliciousI don't think they give a fuck about stability, if the game doesn't run then get a refund
>>499632958https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/augmented-steam/dnhpnfgdlenaccegplpojghhmaamnnfp
>>499633242>I don't think they give a fuck about stability, if the game doesn't run then get a refundthey do an initial manual review of the game when you first submit it
>>499632198>>499630251 like this
>>499631267The main thing is they got you by the balls with clearname and everything, should you ship malware. This is not a small "lol, gotcha" thing anymore but very punishable in basically every jurisdiction in the world.
>>499629435Id prefer to make a game from the heart than filter my creativity through marxism like you are advocating for. Fuck other people, this is my hobby, this is my art. If im the only one in the world who likes my game than thats a success story as long as i love what ive made.
>>499623969you can add a volumetric fog container to your player controller, making it into a shape like this|---------|| || P || ||---------|with a hole cut for the playeryou get the idea, the player moves and the container moves with him

>>499635480I'm still implementing this pounce attack for enemies. In the process I completely screwed the Enemy Behaviour Tree, the entire enemy AI is broken now. I'm on wagie time right now, and it's still 9:37 AM so no progess in sight.

>>499636720bruh you need to seriously reevaluate this game cause I don't see anyone playing it without some good idea that would be your selling point
blender scripts are easier to write than I thought, pretty sure I can just use blender as a level editor directly then use a script to export a json or something my game can read
>>499636720I think other anon is rude conceptually I can see people playing it but right now the gameplay is lacking, need more complex enemies and like, the super spreader from contra
>>499636787you must be retarded if you think this is how the game will look once doneI barely got part of the combat and dungeon rooms mechanics doneI'm not focusing on art and feel for now, just trying to get everything to work together, going from player home to dungeon and back without any issues
>>499636960Add the super spreader from contra

>>499637125Post your game
>>499635480I've been making big progress but it's not ready to be shared. I always share too early and then lose interest. Trying to hold off for now to see if that helps me keep at it. Delay the dopamine hit from showing it to people.
>>499637238I think you're a fucking idiot, coward, and loser
>>499636854I guess the main thing would be to make sure you convert the 3d axis correctly from blender to engine. Make a small test to see if you can get it to work before diving deeper into it.
>>499637076I plan to add multiple types of projectile attacks, spread shot is one of them
While there's a need for criticism in any kind of community that is working on independent projects for selling the people in this thread aren't doing "I don't need to be a chef to say this tastes bad" it's more like going into an amateur cooking club, blasting shitty music and youtube videos, speaking over everyone, and not even trying to cook

>>499637667>>499638103Unironically a game about stealing and running away with loot sounds fun.

Those realistic textures would be nice but I don't wanna go through all of them one by one.
I find kind of a head scratcher as to how there’s no alternative to blender and maya/max for modeling. Sure there’s a bunch of CAD apps but nothing geared for vertex modeling, only those two.

>>499641928I just have a big folder where I dump all the torrents and sift through to find relevant stuff. There's a bunch of useless files, for sure. You gotta dig to find useable textures.

>>499641903the hack was a nothingburger, they got a bunch of email addresses, if it's an email you're using to sign up to websites there's a 99.999% it's already been involved in multiple breaches anyways, l2spamfilterthe downtime was because of """unrelated""" DDoSing

Can we have a informative discussion about how aspect ratio and the play field size impacts game play? Specially in 2D games, (although it matters in 3D too). For example, 16:9 is an extremely uneven ratio for games. Consider a top-down adventure game. If you want enemies to enter the screen, the side enemies are always too far away for no reason. Mean while top and bottom ones are closer.Even in platformers where you move from side to side, the width is too long, you can always see the enemy a mile ahead, which could have been an interesting scenario in 4:3, where enemy could enter while you are fighting the on screen one.I think 4:3 is the best ratio, you can use it for platformers to give player some but not huge breathing room, you can rotate it to 4:3 if you need some vertical breathing room.Try playing some widescreen hacks of classic games and retro fangames. Every one of them feels empty, and contains zones where nothing interesting is happening.Even if you don't agree that 4:3 is good for most games, unless the designer consciously choose 16:9 for gameplay reasons, you will still agree that it's a topic that is not talked about much but makes a huge difference on the gameplay.Here's my reasoningIdeal playfield -> 1:1You want some extra space horizontally -> 4:3You want some extra space vertically -> 3:4You want double the space on one side? 16:9The keyword is "want", you have to make the choice consciously it's stupid to pick 16:9 because it's the standard if you are the designer.
>>499646290yep, I'm an enginedev. problem was solved on my own engine.
I can't think of an enginetroon tourist who's not also an obnoxious poster, historically one of the worst poster ever (loli rape simulator"dev") was also an enginetroon ragebaiting while hopoo made ror, orteil cookie clicker, etc
>>499646543No one is gonna blame you for not being able to handle every aspect ratio because no one can, this is why we have things like "industry standard practices", you can always say this game is best played in x aspect ratio or whatever.Stop overthinking and JLMG.
>>499646543unfortunately retarded gamers will sperg out if you dont use the entire screen
>>499646410That's where they post from.
>>499646543>oh no the 16:9 player can see 30 extra pixels than the 4:3 player, my game is ruinedyou are literally retarded in every sense of the word
>>499646410>solitaryThat's literally what hitori "bocchi"s name translates to from Japanese, what do you mean by that why do you keep making these references
>>499646905> handle every aspect ratiothat's not the problem. The problem is "aspect ratio" decides how your game will "play".The aspect ratio is a major part of the game, it's window that the player will see through. It will decide whether the player will feel claustrophobic or not, it will decide if the player will feel panic when an enemy enters on one side or not. It's an important attribute that needs consideration, just like player speed, etc.Handling multiple aspect ratio is a joke, if the designer used 4:3 during the design its a 4:3 game, if the designer use 16:9 its a 16:9 game.

there's no worse mental state to be in than being in "search mode". endless waste of time, never being satisfied with anything, thinking you'll find something you like just at any moment but it never happens. also makes you very unhappy, nervous and your brain gets ruined.but i also don't know a solution, because just sticking to what you know also gets boring...
>>499647745Solid gameplay, just like any other video game. See the AliceSoft games or even Ero Dungeon.
>>499646543EDIT: I am not talking about interactive movie games, like Re7 remake.
>>499647806You sure would like if I wasn't able to work on my game wouldn't you mr Crab
>>499646543No, because it doesn't matter. Just use what's best for your game. If you want a circular window, use that. If you want to have the ui on the side and the game in 4:3, do that. The best solution is to just make 1st person games.
>>499645650that's more proc gen which includes noise here and there
>>499648061> it doesn't matterHow many people do you think, during their development process, ask themselves:> Okay now the basic mechanics are in place, let's decide what aspect ratio the game should useMost people never think about it.
>>499647434You're overthinking, every software has to deal with physical limitations and specifications that will affect your game in many areas and this is one of them.

There are a few issues I haven't submitted reports for because I don't even know where to start and don't plan on continuing with the engine upgrades, adding and deleting nodes takes 100x longer in large scenes in versions after 4.2.2, the remote node inspector freezes up in large scenes because it updates every node and there's no way to ignore static things like rocks and trees etc.The engine has no built in tools for common things like foliage, so if you need trees you either have to roll your own or depend on janky third party add-ons that half work and are slow as shit.
>>499649598An uncompressed 4096x4096 texture only uses ~90mb of VRAM. There is literally nothing wrong with this.
>>499649683Sorry I can't link them, I don't remember what videos they were. They were part of random videos that I watched. Youtube's search and recommendations are a fucking mess so I just watch a lot of somewhat random videos.
Should I take this guy's course? His games look mid but he is pretty successful.

>>499648568> overthinkingWould you say the same about a guy thinking about the character movement speed?
Reminder that you should be using Tony McMapface tonemapper instead of garbage default ACES/"filmic." It's free.
>>499649813>Go to the godont GitHub>42,000 issues closedCope
>>499650357if it's free then it must be bad like linux, blender, gimp, etc. etc.
>>499649570As I said, it doesn't matter if monitor have different calibrations. You just have to "consciously" decide what colors will you use if you are making a game, where color is important. You have to be able to say, this game is designed with "this.. this this.." specification, and this is the intended way. Same with aspect ratio, a game designed for 4:3 should be played in 4:3.The whole point is, "choose" an aspect ratio and think about how it affect your gameplay, don't just start designing on the default aspect ratio.
>>499648728If your gui is so complex then it must be a big complex game.Are you struggling with a simple progress bar?

>>499651062>Mostly positive and only 63 reviews>130k wishlists.He is done unless some big dick streamer shills his game
>>499650908honestly the game is doing pretty bad, 63 reviews after 2 daysgwafics get people to wishlist, but they wont get you word of mouth

added tooltips and visualizations for the event outcome calculations as well as some other minor features i guess..the realisation that i will neither have something ready for dd, or am capable of actually making something interesting in the long run is hitting me. the guilt of not having implemented anything unique in comparison to cultist simulator doesnt help. its just a lesser project in every metric. honestly kino to have another project for the cemetery without having learned anything new.

>>499650696>I spent a few hours placing megascans, so I should charge more than devs who spend years painstakingly making midpoly games
>>499650696well that doesn't sound very amateur
After like 2 months I think I've nearly crushed every single replication bug. Now I make something new and fun again.
>>499651263
>>499650696personally, too photo real for my tastes. But, maybe others like it.
>>499651219I have no idea whats happening there
>>499651219pretty cool looking, but why does it have to be another card battler?
>250,000 wishlists>Beautiful art by the guy that led Overwatch environment art>255 reviews after two weeks>210 all time peak playersWhy did this flop so hard?
>>499651219It's so comfy, feels like home.
>>499651745nice graphics, unappealing game
>>499651159If he already got 130k people to look at his game and decide it's good enough to bookmark but not to actively follow and buy, how is some streamer shilling going to change things? No one is stupid enough to completely reverse their opinion on something just because some celebrity told them to.
>>499651263LMAO
>>499651745>a video GAME with dogshit GAMEplay doesn't sella real mystery, call sherlock
>>499651745genshin impact is free and can run on a phonepeople can't afford groceries
>>499651858
>>499651745I'd buy it for a dollar! I'd buy any game for a dollar! Oh, he's not selling it for a dollar? That's a shame. ... I'd buy it for a dollar...
>>499651263them lights be on point tho
>>499651179why the fuck would you need word of mouth with 130k wishlists?
>>499651745I don't know, do you wanna be this guy?
>>499651745fuck that game looks beautiful
>>499646693didnt he use unity?
>>499649570this, hdr destroys my pixelshart game
>>499650908how the hell do you only get 60 reviews from 130k wishlists? Is he bullshitting or is this just a game that doesn't convert wishlists
>>499652153I wouldn't even buy it for a dollar, because I'm just not going to play it.
>>499652307holy heck u play as toddy howie!?
>>499650696>>499650908the gameplay in the trailer looks so unbelievably mediocre
>>499652307they were right, nobody wants to be this guy, it's worse than ps1 slop, but to be fair my models look just as bad most of the time
>>499595345ghost[j].companions[i] shows up an immense number of times. You should avoid this kind of repetition. It looks like you can clean your code up quite a bit. You should have a function that takes in a companion, put it in an "i" and "j" loop. This function will take in ghost[j].companions[i]. Then in that function I mentioned do your "l" and "k" loop.>>499595758You can move nested code into separate functions. You shouldn't have deeply nested code.
I've revised my sales expectations down to 76 sales. Thank you.
>>499652395game bad
Anyone with Godot experience, have you noticed any difference in performance when working on a project on Windows and then moving it to Linux, or maybe the other way around? And did you have to do anything extra for compatibility/stability or did the project just magically work when you switched it to the other OS?
>>499652307EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
>>499652307I simply can't imagine releasing something that looks like that. How does that get past any form of pre release review?
>>499652395He's probably bullshitting or misinterpreting numbers, because that's more than Civ VII, ARK 2, or Marvel Rivals.
>>499652395watch the trailer anon, the game looks incredibly boring with slow, clunky movement and combat mechanics
>>499651745>255 reviews after two weeks51 of them recieved the game for free. nice shader at least.
>>499653007130k is 130,000 anon...the top wishlisted games on Steam have at least 1 million+ wishlistsManor Lords was #1 at some point with over 2 million
>>499653007SteamDB shows over 10,000 followers, so 130k wishlists is just about right. He's just not converting well at all.
>>499653192Sorry I'm being lazy, that's follow stats, not wishlists. This Axis Unseen game is showing 10,775 following on SteamDB.
>>499651745>>499652307>environments look real nice>MC looks like THATwhy
>>499651858>>499651263I guess now we know why he no longer works at Bethesda.
New thread for my /agdg/ friends>>499653335>>499653335>>499653335
>>499651675dont worry, me neither>>499651719i wouldnt really call it a card battler.. the previous game i was working on for a year was one, thats why i burried it, although drawing toxic twinks hurting themselves was more fun. this one was supposed to be about managing resources i suppose
>>499652395Pretty enough graphics and enough social clout and marketing to get wishlists, but the actual game is bad so wishlists don't convert.This is why you don't chase wishlists, you focus on making an actually good game.

>>499651858A valid criticism, I don't know why you're laughing. Sounds like they overdid post process shit.
>>499654870retard
>>499654518>Almost 50% of games released so far in 2024 have not earned 10 reviews.>Almost 80% of all games released in 2024 have earned fewer than 50 reviews.damn that's some rough stats
>>499654518Stop releasing games with less than 7k wishlists
>>499650623It's not too complex. It's just a lot of tedious and uninteresting work that I wish would be done without me having to do it. Little things like choosing fonts, colors, and textures, setting padding/margins, and general theme design. For web frontend, I could just choose from any of thousands of amazing premade themes, but in hardly anyone makes themes for game engines.
>>499657208Whenever I'm presented with this problem, I pick a random NES/SNES game from the wall of despair and just copy whatever they've done 1:1. That way I can blast through it with a clearly defined goal and pretend that I like the result when I'm actually dead inside.
