>>499773694I mean, I will make a porn game if I have toBut if I could avoid it, it would be nice if anything because I wouldn't have to concern with me which kind of content is okay to have in the game and which isn't.For SFW games it's pretty intuitive to me just don't directly antagonize any group of peopleBut for porn game it's way more difficult for me to see the line. For instance, MadoDev's game itself was not accepted on Steam and I wouldn't be able to say why.

Maybe that 1 like is still coming.
>>499774669It's not that hard to rack up the Twitter likes with gif and video content. In fact getting addicted to those easy likes is one way you can totally derail actual progress on your game, since the hard work doesn't always produce a nice gif every day.

>>499776818>>499777364As you say, senpai Copemaster.
>>499777193I've been using Chatgpt to give me ideas for my game's lore, which helps provide a starting point, but I'm not just going to use that without improving on it. I'm also not going to use it to program my game, It'd probably take me longer to describe to an LLM the specific problems I'm trying to solve right now than it would for me to just write a solution to those problems.And AI art is still questionable, still very distinctive, and of limited use in games. Unless you just want one single character portrait and nothing else.What is your game and how do you use AI in its development?
1 model a week for 50 weeks. then I will be 1/4 done...maybe i will get faster
The only people who are particularly taken by the possibility of AI coding for them are people who think the hard part is writing the instructions rather than understanding what is happening. But, it is an amateur thread after all.
>>499777670>Even if that weren't a lazy explanation to avoid having to draw orbital trajectories, you literally just drew a giant magnetosphere around the whole thing.The giant visible magnetosphere is the global magnetosphere caused by the system taken as a whole, it doesn't stop every wind, furthermore the interaction of the magnetosphere of the different celestial body of the system funnel radiation into deadly ether wind. Thus the great shock wave is just the majority of the solar wind crashing on the magnetosphere, but enough particle enter the system.>The only examples are small rocks that were probably captured later, and Triton which is the only large moon around Neptune. Having a bunch of large moons or planets going in random directions just looks bad.One of the great question of the astrological community is why Foxnen is retrograde.
>>499778276pros use AI for some coding.
>>499778646I was indicting the amateurs but I was not necessarily sparing all the professionals.
how many times must it be saidgpt is for explaining documentation and generating boilerplate and maybe sometimes solving semi-simple problems to save brain power. If you don't understand your code you'll be overwhelmed when a bug comes.It's not a big shameful cheat code because every fucking coder uses language models now for what I said
>>499776212>>499776431You can use Blender but I'm pretty sure just about any 3d software or engine works. I've experimented doing it in Unity because I'm more familiar with it.
>>499778927It mustn't be said at all, this is a thread we all choose to be in, these are opinions we choose to share. If you're tired of posting your opinion then stop.
>>499776441Those are pretty good. Did you do the outlines in blender too?
How do I increase the amount of likes my game gets on social media?
>>499779261Buying likes.
>>499779330I mean oreganically
>>499779261appeal
>>499778094I don't want to use it for code that isn't boilerplate because the most annoying thing about programming is debugging and don't like debugging other people's code, my main game is almost finished and I started using it in a gamejam tier sideproject to texture low poly background assets and I really like the results, it's way better than I expected.
>>499779115yes it must and no it isn't an opinion, kys
>>499779440Welp. Time to study art for 10 000 hours to learn the secret of appeal.
>>499779261make retwittable content, sounds stupid but this is something you have to do deliberately when deciding what to share. Also when working on your game try to put in things that would get people to show it to their friends. Best example I can think of right now is that "now you can parry nukes" clip or the dinoblade clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KEE96aYJN0
>>499779207Yeah the character outlines were done at render-time using Grease Pencil in blender
>>499778927It's not even that, people who are amazed that you can go online and just get code that does something you want is a dead giveaway that they're absolute beginners and have never made anything... Lil bros I've been copy-pasting snippets of code I found on the internet for 20 years. There's also entire projects dedicated to just giving you code to use for free, they're called libraries and modules, and you can just download them and include them in your code and use them.The difference between doing it that way and using an LLM is that someone ( presumably) understood the code at some point and tested it, wheras an LLM is just a slightly smarter version of the predictive text on your phone's keyboard. And duct taping someone else's code together in your project can only get you so far before you actually have to understand what's going on in order to make something work.
We have come to the age where getting 100 reviews is a massive and rare success for any indie game.What a hobby, boys… Some might say the greatest hobby.
>>499779261Use gifs and videos. Show something cool, impressive, or funny. Write a caption that complements the mood of the visual content. That's basically the magic formula to write tweets that people want to retweet onto their own timelines, which is the real Twitter game (not algo).
>>499779734other anon here. great animations, no can do! but message received. I guess ill make X and Instagram and TikTok accounts today so i can have some sort of following in a year when my wacky game is shipping
>>499779734I wonder how bad it would be to edit the game to add quirky things that won't actually be in the game just to make the post more memeworthy. e.g. giving a character an AGDG logo shirt to get more likes on AGDG (assuming it worked that way) but removing from the game after recording.
>>499780213>Write a caption that complements the mood of the visual content.That seems like a great idea, I will keep it in mind
>>499779530As confident as you feel that your opinion is actually some kind of universal law or rule, you're simply wrong about that, and apparently quite emotionally incontinent as well. You can't even deal politely with anonymous strangers. How bad must your real life be.
i don't understand the hatred behind crumblean /agdg/ success story. you would have expected it to have inspired people, but instead regulars here just pretend he doesn't exist
Point at him and laughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KR5i98aCy0
>>499780280It's very common to show joke updates or even outright just post bugs on Twitter, people love that stuff over there, they don't view every post as a legal promise.
can someone make an amateur game developer general so the parasocial tranny goes there to discuss xer ecelebs? the life of x dev has literally nothing to do with amateur game development
>>499780673I really don't want him to fail but it is painfully obvious that working for 10 years on a programming language nobody wants has been a disastrous squandering of his money, and more importantly time. I'm sure the Sokoban game will be good, it will not be 10 years good.
>>499780643You're too new to remember coomball spamming every single thread with hundreds of posts for weeks on end.
if I have a function that takes an (int i) as an argument but there's a specific valid range for that int is there a good way I can prevent myself from passing a wrong value in it when I'm calling the function?
>>499781142yes it's called an if condition
>>499781142Validate it in the getter/setter. Most decent languages have a property wrapper.
>>499781142I usually put logic at the beginning of the function to verify that the data came in correctly, if it's something that needs to be in a certain range. If it isn't right you can throw a warning and back out gracefully.
>>499780673>>499780954Why does it seem like he's struggling with money when he should have millions from his games? I know he spent a bunch to make The Witness but still.
>>499770732>have to come up with a new system or a new way of doing thingsI work!>have to do easy but repetitive tasksI sleep!Help!
>>499781278nodevs have been buckbroken by yanderedev and no longer use ifs
>>499780743>they don't view every post as a legal promise.phew
Any ideas for character designs for a game set in near future?
>>499781448he is on record saying he spent 20 million on his sokoban game in development(it's implied that includes the development of his programming language) but it's still a ridiculous amount of money.
>>499781780It sounds like he employs a few programmers besides himself, because that's definitely one way to rack up the bills.
>if you drive up interest early, you'll see if your project is viable early on but people will lose interest by the time it's out>if you drive up interest late, people can play the game so if it's good it can gain momentum much more easily, but you won't be sure if your project is worth doing until then
>>499781939Have a good vision and do the later.
>>499781939>playtesting>demos>early access
>>499781780>he spent 20 million on his sokoban game in development

>managed to easily decompile Ero Dungeon and have it working on Godot 4.3 flawlessly Man it's crazy that every single Godot game is basically open source...
>>499779926Stop treating game development as a hobby. It's the hobbyists who are flooding the market with trash and killing the market with massive oversaturation. The oversaturation is your fault.
>>499782193godot 5 will fix that
>>499782193So was Doom, who really cares?
>>499781448hes impressively bad with budgeting
First level of grass is pretty much done and ready for testing. I just have to add some more decorations and level objects in certain areas.
>>499782193you can do that with any game engine.
>>499782193>>499782307You can break decompilers trivially by building your own fork of Godot. It's actually kind of funny how most Godot users are too lazy to do that.
>>499782193Free mod support out of the box?
>>499782406>posting progress while the eceleb schizo is chimping outI feel sorry for you, try posting on twitter EU hours are horrendous.
>>499781278>>499781430That's what I did but I thought maybe there's a better way. If I'm validating it inside the function it has already been called and if the value is wrong things break even if I return the function early because it means something that should've happened didn't happen.>>499781353I'm not sure how that would change anything. Like if I do>func (6);when the max is 5 then it's already breaking. Can I make the IDE spit out an error if I try to enter a wrong value when calling the function? Using C# btw.
>>499782502dude you have some serious issues
>>499782462Custom Godot forks that have 90% same structure still get decompiled, you don't understand how the decompiler works lol.>>499782463Imagine making a mobile game and having any pajeet be able to reskin it and you can't do SHIT about it.
>>499778927>bugs come>explain the bug to claude>claude fixes itclaude is my wife's boyfriends name
>>499782572>If I'm validating it inside the function it has already been called and if the value is wrong things break even if I return the function early because it means something that should've happened didn't happen.Pretty common situation in programming honestly, getting the right information to the right place at the right time is basically the job. Luckily there is almost always a way to restructure the program so long as you have a clear idea in your head of how you actually want it to work.
>>499780673i enjoyed braid, but i will always maintain that its success was due to the rising popularity of indie games at the time of its release, not because it's all that great of a game by itself. the new version is essentially just some extra details drawn onto a base game that looks perfectly fine without then, which you probably wouldn't even notice without playing the original version at the same time, plus some extra levels, for 20 bucks. just doesn't seem worth it. unfortunately, he seems willing to blame a ton of other shit in the video, instead of the possibility that he made a bad call in dumping a lot of time and effort into something nobody asked for
>>499782650Can't they reskin games by replacing the assets without even needing to decompile?
>>499782572You can throw an exception or use an assert.
>>499782595>progress posts get buried by literal background noise (gossiping about the same ecelebs) during EU crumble hoursImo this is valid criticism, not sure why you're upset.

>>499779925kinda under selling AI here. slightly smarter than predictive text? have a go at asking claude to make svg art and think about how it's doing that through code. it can't see what it's making to self correct. paste this in the viewer below https://pastebin.com/wkkBtrrDhttps://www.svgviewer.dev/
>>499778927so what you're saying is,it's an alternative to google search, noting that google's search algorithm has basically been AI all along,so no actual advancement has been made and this is all one big scam for investment money and retards fall for it
there is no point putting a game on Steam if you're not looking to make money. "hobbydevs" are just trying to cushion themselves against their almost inevitable failure.if you're a "hobbydev" stop being a pussy and admit that you want money.
Madodev broke the /agdg/ flop curse. All thanks to appeal.

>>499775109It's sex but what is the gameplay? Can you explain in 1 or 2 sentences. Also I wonder if the space can be darker and less saturated
>>499784589Correct. You should probably call the police.
>>499784078I am happy to get money. I want it I guess but it doesn't motivate me. I'd be making the same game even if games were outlawed.
>>499784420>i don't need the money>i just want itholy cope
>>499784837He's got a point. I don't need money either but I still want it.
>>499783106Total cost of an employee to the company often ends up being close to double what the employee salary is, so he's probably averaged about 10 employees over 10 years.>>499783279It's relevant to gamedev because you need to consider this kind of stuff if you're thinking about expanding to a studio with employees.
MAX STERN FORGIVE MEEEE!!! !!! !!!
>>499782267>massive oversaturationHow could this possibly be a problem my friend? More devs means more games, and more games means more selection, mention not more choice, and survival of the fittest will drive the best games to the masses! There's no way the market could be so saturated with poor quality games that it actually harms the industry, it's never happened years back and isn't happening now. "Shovelware" is a racist term, App Store policies make oversaturation of the market impossible, this is more better! The average modern game developer is now earning over 500,000 yearly, more than double median salary! First-class!
>>499783641What a weird projection, discussing ecelebs has nothing to do with amateur gamedev if you need friends try discord. Good job on burying that poor dev's progress post with your garbage.

>>499784937A good fun game that people want to play is all but guaranteed to make money. If you don't make any money, it is because no one wants to play your game. Who would want to put so much time and effort into making a video game if they knew no one would play it at the end?
>has 10 employeessir, what are you selling to pay for those employers ?
Games aren't oversaturated because most games are not equivalent products to one another, not substitutes for one another. Doom does not compete with Crusader Kings just because they are both interactive software. "Market saturation" is a misapplication of an economics concept to a market it doesn't apply to and used as a way to excuse one's personal failure to develop a good game.

>>499785162We're talking about a game developer in the game development thread. We're talking about his business issues in game development. Couldn't be more relevant. You're just being a pissy little faggot, if you want the truth.
>>499782935Easy to forget this was so fucking long ago it was an XNA game. That caught it a lot of free publicity, shit was on G4TV and turning up in trade magazines because "wow, it's so pretty, and it's just a little Xbawks Live Arcade game!" Shows you what hiring and working closely with a professional artist and graphic designer can do for you. I don't even remember the gameplay, but I sure remember seeing David Hellman's efforts slathered all over the fucking place for quite a while there.
>>499785187Sometimes I make a game to play it myself, not because other people would want to play it.
>>499785310>not substitutes for one anotherThey are though. No one's going to buy your 2D platformer when they can play Mario instead.

>>499785798Brother, even two Mario games don't compete with one another. Games are all orthogonal products. They are not substitutes.

this cant be right, it just cant be. i created similar systems for stuff that wasnt event based. but i feel like this is scuffed. it shouldnt be normal to need this much code to write one event, its even more if we consider that the outcomes are in another script..im unsure if ill rewrite the base for this system, but what would normally be done, so that i can try it differently for the next project? use a scripting language? make the nodes even more hardcoded to keep them smaller?
Are there bad builds in your game or no matter how the player allocates their skill points, there's always a situation where that build would be the most effective?

redid it with the UV overlap approach, think it looks bettervertex colors help a bit, or I can just use real-time lighting and it looks a lot nicer that way even if it's not retro purist. vertex colors would be great to quickly change the color of things if I used greyscale textures too, at basically zero performance costthe quest of artfaggotry continues

Anyone know a good method on getting the player to be "anchored" to a moving platform in Godot whilst it is moving, so that the player doesn't "slip" all over the place whilst the platform is changing directions abruptly?
>>499799651Not sure if this is a design question or a question about d&d rules
>>499800083i know but that's a Nintendo patent, sorry sis
Is using an AI assistant to help me write my game's plot souless?
>>499800083If you're using physics to move the whole thing not really. You can only mitigate it.Otherwise you'd have the platform velocity taking precedence over the character's one.
>>499800345Depends on how relevant the plot is, the problem is that you'll get something unremarkable that takes more time editing than just making it from scratch.
>>499796735what's it look like if you give it some texture filtering?
>>499800345Clarify what you mean specifically instead of using meme words like "soul" that lack any specific meaning. Will make thinking through these issues simpler.
>>499792234My take on it is this:>If you don't have a marketing plan for your game at its conception phase, then you haven't finished the concept.>If you don't know how you're going to market your game from before you even write your first line of code or open some software to make your first asset, you don't know how to make your game.
>>499800083parent the player to the platform.
>>499798284the UVs on the stone golem look surprisingly decent but man these are some fucking ugly models and textures
>>499793785Oh, that explains why we're all always so perplexed by your design decisions. It's one of those games that are pretty hard to see what's going on unless you've spent a good bit of time playing/watching/learning it.
i got 4 likes in 50 minutes on social media and it made me really happy but now i'm anxious that i will not get more and it's over for my game
>>499796735That's really good, rapid improvement.
>>499801286i cant even get 4 impressions in 50 minutes
>>499800160Design, I need one more non combat bard skill.>persuasion>investigation >?>performance>barterMaybe lore can give more detailed monster information but then I'd need to have randomize monsters and idk if I want to do that. What if I gave them a sex skill that didn't do anything but give the player a fade to black and funny noises and a chance to be afflicted with stds as a joke haha would my game sell better? They already get various money and items through performance/barter being able to get DIFFERENT items from having sex would be silly and redundant.
>>499800762bad. since the textures are next to each other they bleed over and mix idk how to avoid it when using an atlas, really. if I create a transparent border it might remove the ability to quickly divide the UV and move it over the desired square texture
>>499799349It stayed in new & trending less than a day. But yeah making it there at all is good and his game is selling decently.
>>499801384don't stick the UVs to the very border between textures, always leave a safety margin so it won't bleed into the next one.
>>499800573Oh I am just moving the platform by updating it's position.>>499801085Guess I will try this.
>>499800826Soul has a specific meaning.
>>499800891Just pay big streamers to pay your games? Seems like marketing has been pretty much solved because of streaming. You could also do a big funny public stunt but idk if you'd have to ask your mom to dress up as an adevnturer and galavant around down town with you.
A genuinely good game sells itself and does not need marketing. The only reason agdg devs throw a fit over this simple fact is that they don't want to admit to themselves that their game is not good enough to sell itself.Personally I'm coming to terms with my own game's inadequacy and spending my last few weeks before launch almost entirely on marketing.
>>499801379Why do you <need> five?Anyway, I wouldn’t do lore because then you have three flavors of "give me information" to try and split points between.
>>499801379call it appeal or charisma instead of sex and then it'd be perfect for marketing
>>499797734I don't understand it. I need to study more.
>>499801971/agdg/'s idea for a successful game is shovelware with an anime skin.
>>499801971>
>>499801379If you have an item identification system (is this a roguelike type dungeon thing?) then lore could be a way to save on ID costs with unknown items. Or it could tilt loot distribution to give you better quality items maybe, like as if your character is more aware of that stuff. Maybe it could gate your ability to read certain spellbooks or whatever for learning new bard songs.
>>499801971>A genuinely good game sells itself and does not need marketingAny example of this outside incest and furry?
>>499802338doom 2 but worse
>>499801875No it doesn't, the question "is this process or tool soulless" is effectively nonanswerable because soul itself has no meaning in this context. You could never objectively identify the quality or amount of soul because the soul is not a real thing that exists and rather is only a vague concept. Philosophically speaking it's a waste of time to argue within such notions as they are basically just word prisons.
>>499802475Doom was carried entirely on a shareware demo. Zero marketing.
>>499802084Each skill has 3 ranks and the player gets 3 characters which each can get up to 20 skill points to spend so I need enough skills that you can have differentiated characters in case the player wants to take 3 bards. I guess I could have like ultra super hard checks that require 3 bards that are all sex masters to reliably check but idk. Seems like a good number to feel like there's a variety of ways to make your guy too I think.
Can't find a good way for a nice trail effect when the ship collide with the star radiation.

>>499802854she looks like she fucks unreal engine devs unironically
>>499802475There's no need to give specific examples, I dunno why aspiring developers obsess so much about naming example games to each other. It's like they just want to compete about who can name the most examples. Anyways obviously if you like a game you tell your friends so no example is needed as we have all lived the phenomenon
>>499803027I hear your confession mr crabYou dont know any examples proving that "word of mouth" works outside of deranged coomer demographics
>>499802475lethal company kinda. It took off mainly from word of month and all the viral clips that came out from it

Maybe I can convince some publisher to give me money to work on this fulltime. I'll just have to pitch like half of what I make in a year to buy the plane tickets + GDC tickets.Oh wait, she had almost all expenses paid by Swiss games. I wish I wasn't a third worlder so bad....
>>499803027NTAI just imagine that if someone believed they had a good game, they'd be happy even if the first few weeks didn't get traction.Because the game is good and all that would be needed is them just telling some people and from there it'd spread.But when a person knows they released a quick cash grab, then they despair.
If you released a Shareware game today that could run on any device, could be modded into a completely different game, and had an engaging game loop that people would enjoy for decades:It would get completely ignored. The modern player would consider a "free" game to have low value. >Good things are expensive, if it's not expensive it can't be goodThis is legitimately how people think. My wife will spend more money on an equivalent item at the grocery store and come home to say she bought "the good one" despite having never tried the item.
Hello, I saw that there was some discussion about poke all toads yesterday and I wasn't here to comment.Last month has been a marketing push, I was active on twitter, tiktok and reddit trying to promote the game. This was mostly drawing and making videos, putting gamedev on strict hold to avoid procrastination. I had a very lucky break and got a viral tweet. resulting in growing from 340 followers to 6040+ followers, receiving 2000 wishlists and a lot of fanart. I still find it hard to believe that it was that sucessful. Though I know that followers don't equal sales, hopefully continuing my current plan and entertaining people will keep the game on everyone's memory until it releases.And if it doesn't sale, I'm still building a story with my characters, which is invaluable.Also people mentioned that I should release as soon as I can. The reality is I need more content, releasing as it would make people dissapointed. It is not perfectionism or fear from releasing. The game is just incomplete and I need to put hundreds of more hours into it.>>499789139I'm still here, I just don't post that often. The reason is that I reached a point in development where I cannot easily share progress since I want to keep parts of the game away from public eyes. Also I believe I have funneled people here to look for news about the game, which is something I don't think that benefits them or the thread.>>499574514Thats very cute!
>>499804419lucky yes but it was real appeal so it was a matter of time. Congrats!
>>499760116>after taxes 5 years all expenses. I think it's reasonable to say a game made it if lets you live comfortably for 5 years.That's decent I wouldn't call it make it tier but it is definitely an amount where the popularity of the game could help future game interests. For me 5 years worth would mean my game got almost 2000 reviews. I'd definitely have an easy time of more future success with a fanbase that large.
>>499804148If you don't despair or feel anything when releasing a game to poor reception then you got a fucking iron will or you're delusional about it being good and selling eventually.More likely is that you've never released a game so you don't have a fucking clue what it is like.
>watch youtuber devlog>its always some s_o_y_b_o_y who ripped off some indie idea like stardew, bigding of isaac, pizza tower stroking his own gaming making it seem like its the next big thing.Why are devs like this? Your carbon copy indie game is not the greatest thing. Stop being so self absorbed
>>499803027Let us know how your no marketing "genuinely good" game release goes. I wanna be there to laugh at you.
My game will have a third wind, it flopped twice but the third time will be a hit.

>>499805167I hate them but not for the cloning but because these losers are clearly chasing fame. If youtube and twitter ceased to exist I doubt any of these people would even enter gamedev in the first place. Yes I'm mad all these fame seekers ruining my odds because their dopamine receptors are so fried they seek social validation harder than some random touch starved 4chinner trying to get a wife.
cat is resting her head on my hand how im i supposed to dev like this i cant move!!!!!!!
>>499777193>>499788037why do so many brown girls have pink hair? Is there some color theory behind this?
>>499806548it's strawberry and chocolate.
>>499801971Ehh I'm in a weird position to be honest. I know marketing isn't needed besides a very light amount so people know of it's existence. However in my game's current state it will simply not make it. As of late though, the improvements I've considered, some of which I've been working on, might be what's needed to save it, but it requires prolonging development. I don't want to add more time to development and it ends up flopping anyways.
Today was a good day of progress. I spent like 4 hours figuring out UI toolkit and hooking the UI up to code and refactoring as I added more features. Ended up rewriting bits and pieces all around to replace a bunch of placeholder code.I don't have any good visual post to progress yet so here's some low poly inspiration instead.
i hecking love low poly
>>499804247>>Good things are expensive, if it's not expensive it can't be good>This is legitimately how people think.Yep. That Maybelline brand or whatever made a cheaper cost item while maintaining the quality. What happened? It got ignored>whys it so low?>must be cheap quality>probably used chemicals (kek do they know?)But idk how much is true and regarding the quality. t. Refuse to price my game low even if its a flop in the making.
>>499791749low revenue/player/year*
>>499789396>>499792232Lol, just lol why am I even gamedevving when these people who are still in high school or just barely out are already mogging me in the art department? Id be the one mogging gamedevs if I was transported back to 1980 and releasing something of higher quality than Pokemon Yellow, 8 years prior to its release.
>>499804247women are not qualified as peoplethey cannot comprehend anything but monetary value that's why they buy all the designer shit because they think it's good because it costs a lot and they think wearing it makes them better or higher statusno matter how shit of a product if it costs a lot women think it's good
>>499802585>dude, having versions traded around a lot and intentionally promoting it so that your game gets a lot of eyes on it isn't marketingThat's like saying giving out keys or making demos and sending it to people isn't marketing, lmao
>>499804591Thanks anon!>>499805524>JUST HOW MUCH MORE CONTENT IS THERE TO ADD?Levels, graphics, sounds. It takes its time, >Are you not neet devving? I kinda assume you are. Unless you're like me and can't average 20 hours a week as a neet.I have a full time job in europe and do some non-dev activities out of the office. I'm looking for ways to make better use of my dev time, but that is easier said than done.>Grim. My game is nowhere near 1000 wishlists much less 2000Do marketing and it will steadily improve. It is time consuming and soul crushing, but you will slowly learn how to make people pay attention to your work.
>>499796234I keep analyzing every little thing. I have to make it and pay others to make my games for me. I want to play video games more than I want to gamedev, but not until I'm rich can I pull this off.>>499796317Nta, pretty sure this happens to me even with what I suspect is burnout. The refusal to be poor for life is strong
>>499804419if poke all toads fails I will quit gamedev. you deserve success more than anyone else in /agdg/.
>>499799349>no user reviewsYou were saying? This guys game flopped anyways. This guy probably posted it literal seconds after hitting the release button
>>499808592It had to have some sales to hit New & Trending
>>499801492No he isn't, guy looks desperate by using his literal former wagie job as an attempt of hook players in because muh Skyrim, muh Fallout, muh Starfield.
>>49980902384 reviews in 3 days is pretty good
>>499808083It's fine because you have more emotional maturity and life experiences than them. They could easily fall in love and have their heart broken by their gf leaving them, leading to alcohol and/or substance abuse and maybe suicide.
>>499809540>have their heart broken by their gf leaving themGood thing we are immune to this
just found out the perfect AI workflow to make 3d models out of anything, 3d artists are COOKED
>>499771254Don't bother releasing on steam until you have a sizable fanbase. Release small games on Itch or other platforms to build up an audience then release a game on steam.Posting devlogs and memes on twitter and gaining wishlists that way will not always translate to real sales.
I think it's going well so far.
>>499810739another side project, cris? 3rd this week?
>>499801971>A genuinely good game sells itself and does not need marketing.
>>499810739It's crazy how beautiful
>>499810739prove it
Feeling really positive about my gamedev today. Gonna make it lads.

>>499794902>RedotSorry to disappoint, anon, but Redot is doomed.Redot's founders are delusional no-coders, they have no real engine development experience and none of them have contributed to the engine.They've unceremoniously kicked out developers from the team for calling them out, now they're blatantly stealing code from their new fork, Blazium, uncredited.They claimed they wouldn't be taking in donations and now they're cashing out, they've just announced their new ko-fi and Redot merch.
>>499818702so true sis
>>499818753If you're gonna simp for a Godot fork, simp for Blazium instead, it's being run by a couple of old former Redot devs who know what they're doing, and one of them is a total unhinged chud, I'm sure you'd like him.
I can't texture paint my models for SHIT. it looks like a child is doodling on a 3D model
>>499819236you don't get it do you, retard? we don't want a chud fork or a troon fork, we want a game engine that stays out of politics
progress
>>499819236>old former Redot devs
keep working on your game
Since when is agdg dead on friday evenings?
>>499821049We're hardcore dev'ing.Will pick up near the end of the night when we're in chef hours.
>>499821049We all gave up after FINALLY realizing that this jobby isn't a goldmine, never has been, and never will be.
>>499819990embrace pixel art textures. Lower res makes all your problems go away by making the player's imagination do all the work. You just need to imply, not actually draw
>>499821049sorry im outside in nightclubs and having sex while you work on your loser game!

I am making a level editor for myself, with which to edit levels. This is the 3rd time I've rewritten this thing.
>>499822179Nice ui
>>499821049Since I started taking classes at this time
>>499819236Isn't that the guy who sperged out over not being given some discord perms, claims to do 20 hours a day of dev work, but still somehow manages to shitpost on twitter nonstop?
>>499822056>old former Redot devsIt's like when you hear 'a marine veteran, 21y old' in a news story.
>>499821226already doing that, doesn't help for shit. whether it's painting directly in blender or doing it in photoshop, it's hell
>>499821129>never has been,When eric barone released shartdew valley a basic bitch pixel platformer on steam was getting over 2k reviews.

I was planning on devving tonight but my dumb whore gf wants me to go to a Halloween bar crawl with her.
>>499823951ugh this happens to me ALL the time with my REAL girlfriend that I have and she loves me and she's real and made me stop being lonely but UGH she makes me go out with HERus boyfriends life, eh fellow gifrlfriend haver?
>>499820705ai tard thinks he won>>499820945this is what winning looks like
>>499823775It's just harvest moon lol.
>>499824072This is something women do all the time. Please go outside.
>>499792653you dont need to make fun games you just need 2000 particle effects going to to trick people into thinking they should be having fun and since they arent its their fault and not the game
>>499823784why is this avatar so studious? Lol
>>499820237>>499820423>>499822056>>499822403>>499822561>so true sisThere's no need to samefag, I don't care either, it was a response to your bait.>old former Redot devsTypo, happy?
>>499824309why do zoomers uses "lol" as a period? lol
>>499823775It really is, my friends just got me into it. We play together every Tuesday night, it's nice. They all have like 100 hours and already know how to do everything and are speedrunning the game while I'm just watering my 8 potato plants lol.
>>499823951my gf would instead dev with me. and if she wanted to do an outing it'd probably be hanging out with her brothers and me and my brother and his gf and his gfs brothers. Not a bar crawl.
>>499821049Here is why, look at the post quality:>>499824370>>499824424>>499824492Thankfully the discord is more active than ever.
>>499824479oh sorry, congratulations on winning.
Alright I got some pretty good ideas here now I just have to design them.
>>499824479I don't understand aifagswhat is the purpose of all these obvious aislop you keep posting?how does any of that help you making a game?surely you don't intend to use that as an actual asset right
>>499823683Zoomer devs don't know how good millennial and gen x devs had it. They barely even had to try, as long as they showed up they got a piece of the pie. Jon Blow made millions off fucking Braid of all things. A new game like Braid would not even make $10,000 today.
>>499824664not going to the Discord. Thread is best.I will bake this thread even if no one is baking it anymore. Discord is slop.
>>499824674thanks hunie >>499824723why are so full of hate? chile
>>499824479so true sir
>>499824723im an aifag but i only use it to jerk off, I havent found an usecase for gamedev yeti gues shitty visual novels can use ai slop as characters and there's some models that can do crappy textures but those are kinda meh still
>>499824771We can go back to that if we solve the oversaturation problem.
>be me>playing game>encounter a special event>event seems strange>some npc looking for a ride>not paying too much attention>comes back dressed as a woman>wait wasn't it a guy I was talking to?>wasn't the text saying he before?>why's it say they or their throughout the text dialog now?>"is this a problem">deny them their ride kek*Sigh* why, why must they push this shit? Who are these freaks and why do they get into gamedev? Why are there so many of these freaks in gamedev anyways? Why does it draw that crowd? Is this why I see so few irl, because they shut themselves in and dev where people can't see that they are obviously not what they claim to be? Can I just play a game without them pushing this stuff constantly? What would be the best way to shut these freaks down should you get famous off your game?
>>499824324It's okay to laugh at yourself sometimes anon.https://youtu.be/s8xkgyYgCGc?si=aItsKyjPgjD6FERl>>499824857But the discord has yesdevs ...https://discord.gg/H46C88eK
>>499824723It's lazy faggots who unironically believe that one day there's going to be a magic AI model capable of generating an entire finished game at the push of a button, which they will then release on Steam and become a millionaire overnight. Never mind the fact that free assets have always existed and literally nothing has ever been stopping them from making a game with said assets apart from their own work ethic (or rather lack thereof). Hence why they're patiently waiting for that magic button that will solve all their problems.
>>499825364yeah bro so uh hows your game doing?
>>499770415That's an incredible amount of bullshittery and tedium that's only fun for people who already know German. It also immediately spoils exactly what's going to happen for anyone with a neuron, so much so that a lot of non-Germans would probably guess correctly too.I would suggest embracing the "Roleplaying" aspect of RPGs if that's the game your making, this path seems to lead to more of a historical-trivia thing (Blech).
>>499802549Soul is the evidential effort and passion put into making something. If you look at something and can see the passion and love of the person making it shining through, it has soul. If you can't, it doesn't. You can yell about how this isn't in dictionaries all you want, this is what everybody always means when they say it.
>>499825368I am a yesdev. and I prefer the thread.Not interested in discord hierarchy and 24/7 drip feed avatar maxxing.
>[deleted]AIsirs...
>>499825705You're still getting that in the thread with the barone schizo/bochi avatarfag tough.
>>499821049probably the antispam thing. if i'm going to wait 15 minutes it better not make me wait another 15 minutes simply because i took to long to reply once the timer finished the 15 minute wait. in any case i need to go shopping today, some stuff i wanted to buy.also demo day is coming up so that might be a reason why agdg is rather slow today. not going to make it in time for demo day so there's no rush for me at the moment to get my game in.>>499823951>bar crawlkek i would not date such a women. ahh i remember when the pretty ditzy girl got all excited that i have no interest in clubs, idk if i mentioned bars>"guys he's just like me!":I if she wasn't married all her behaviors would make me inclined to believe she liked me
>>499825425but then they couldn't actually make money off of game dev. People would just generate exactly what they want to play.
>>499825836It pains me to compliment them, but I've noticed that the jannies have finally started cracking down on pajeets and favela dwellers who do nothing but shit up threads all day with their slop. This applies to all boards, not just /vg/. It's a genuine threat the lingering health of this website so I'm glad they're doing something about it.
>>499824723they're shitposters plain and simplei asked them earlier how i can start to make my own to make a gamethey fucking didn't replythey are not interested in making games
>>499826031i haven't been banned yet thougheverbeit
>>499826001>third worlders>thinking aheadanon, you're giving these people way too much credit
>>499825425in like 100 years all of that will be true and 1million will be worth like 1000 dollars
>>499819990kek, maybe its time to watch tutorial videos and follow along>>499824664>Thankfully the discord is more active than ever.doubtful. you're here so it's not as good as you claim it to be. It's like a redditor claiming reddit is better than 4chan while posting on here 16 hours a day lel. your actions say everything i need to know
>>499825850aesthetics matter. Not only form and function. It's different. And I don't need to explain why, it's an aesthetic thing.
>>499826290nah. I'm just not artistically gifted, never will be. that's just the way she goes
>>499810739>*in the distance*>anon likes you!>*turns towards you*>*smiles*What do?
I am going fucking insane.
>>499826206It will never come true. Real time generative video will come first, and once that happens people are going to start locking themselves into infinite VR porn pleasure chambers and civilization as we know it will collapse.
i enjoy using AI
>>499826380>D-DOESNT COUNT.. BECAUSE........... BECAUSE IT JUST DOESNT OK??!Alright lol, in the discord yesdevs have "avatars" in the thread only nodev shitposters do.
what is it called when someone has no ambitions ? I can't be the only one
>>499826743we know, cris
>>499826750you can't blame me for not playing Rome Total War Anime version but playing Rome Total War in its original form.Aesthetics matter. This must be understood. Not only about the meta-maxxing optimizing function of it.
>>499826885demotivated?
>>499826885Some humans have fire in them, some don't
>>499826885Brazilian
>>499826885Ok, you have immortality. Now what?You're never going to be gone forever.Christ atoned for everyone with his sacrifice and raised everyone with his resurrection. Even the Devil is going to be saved and restored. "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." ( Colossians 1:20 )Now what do you want to do?
>>499826936You're just coping, the exact thing you're complaining about already exists in the thread. Unless you're a shitposter yourself there is no reason not to participate in the 'cord.
>>499825850that's funposting though, not joining your discord of 1000+ people or whatever it who i suspect most are unaware of this general. do they even know the discord is 4chan related?
>>499826885a boccher?
>>499827191And anime Rome Total War has all of the functionality and gameplay of Rome Total War, but I would never play it.I don't want to see my Roman Generals as Anime Girls. I want to see them as Roman Male Generals. That's cool.
>>499800573Huh? I used Godot briefly for a time. I thought the node system automatically handled relative velocity, or am I misremembering how this shit works?>>499825850>>499826380Anon only likes chocolate, but some of us want that chocolate/vanilla swirl. Best of both worlds!

>>499827213It's forced and extremely boring to scroll past the same sharts by the same dudes over and over, if you enjoy that and complain about discord then it just doesn't make sense.>>499827325No, the right analogy is you complaining about strategy games being bad while praising Rome Total War at the same time, but you should do whatever makes you happy regardless.
>>499827456I believe, with no question in my heart, that you hand made this without the assistance of neural networks.
>>499827307But I have a huge ego
When I was a newfag, I thought Bocchi was the Bunny Cube in Bokube.

Behold aggy daggy a literal woke. >"Just take the vax there is no reason not to get the jabbaroni!!!! TAKE IT OR GO TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!" You probably don't even have a game or it's some game that's ngmi. Why are you so bent on others joining it anyways, get over yourself.

>>499706089>>499736145>>499765793>>499766084Alright, it's been about 23hrs since I started. I had to find time to sleep, and eat several times, and take many bathroom breaks, really eats into the dev time. I've distracted myself adding some sounds when I should be refining the level to make play smoother. After that though, all that's left is to poke at it cosmetically until I call it good enough. I've already spent way too long actually playing it, which is always a good sign. I feel I'm really close to my design goal:>A psychological horror game designed to inspire feelings of uncertainty, dread, desperation, and hopelessness.I don't know if I'll be able to strike the right balance between psychological torment and outright tilt, but I'll try before I subject any of you perverts to it.with sound >>>/wsg/5716756

>>499828119huh? who said i was complaining about the thread? it's just you day in, day out bitching and moaning about the thread acting like you're never coming back here again. then you literally come back a few hours later to bitch and moan again. surely those 1000+ yesdevs who've complained about it in the last 90 days were 1000 different yesdevs posting on here and not just one guy crying every single day, wow i still see the same games posted every week, crazy right? lets see, i saw poke all toads, tricky madness, erodungeons, hilly and olly, solitaire battle, berry bush roguelike, aggy chan 3d, projecto nortubel, jenny's birthday bash, heroes for hire, dirk, bokube, cosmic call, ctesiphon, awooga (awoken), kyubu kyubu dice, metrokolia, mel the caramel dog, the other mech game whose name i don't recall, amazoom blimp, ...............bet it makes you seethe when a yesdev identities as a fun poster/shitposter. bro if you're gonna treat this like some sort of gestapo, then i've got a place where you'll fit right in>>>/reddit/

>>499829656dead. Too much demoralization memes of people trashing gamedev itself not going to make your any money bla bla blaThat and AI replacing low and now mid level programmers and artists has killed indie game scene. Only people that seem to have any light in their eyes about gamedev are solodev indie devs making their ideal dream game or some shit but freelance work which made most indie communities thrive is now dead.Have you noticed any indie dev location on the net is all just solo devs marketing their slop?
>>499812696Pic related inspired me by teaching me how critical music is to selling a game. I fucking hated the gameplay and didn't really care for the story but I kept slogging through it because I wanted to hear the next cool song.
bros I wanted to dev but I'm diarrheaing and I have a bad headache...
>>499830209
>>499830209btw this is a copy of a different backpack game, another proof that STEALING is part and parcel of indie gamedev, so many massive success are just copied games

I feel like this right now while I'm just about to solve a milestone for my game's development.I'm about to lock in the submission. Joe Rogan is screaming " I THINK HE'S GOT IT" and soon Joe is going to say "HE TAPPED HE TAPPED ITS OVER!" when I make the problem tap out.

>>499832221Any indie dev who is brazilian has no ambition to leave Brazil because it's way better to get paid in dollars and live in Brazil than to move to a country that requires a lot more money relatively to get by. Stop larping.
>>499832646But you still have to live in Brazil even if you're getting paid in US dollars.
>>499832849Every country is basically the same if all you need is a computer.

can you delete your game from steam
>>499833678Wait... Is that Godot?You're doing a voxel game in Godot?
>>499833969no, and how dare you ask such a thing of me
>>499833615Iceland is a really nice place. I've been there.And Maine is one of the safest places in USA.New Zealand, a bit totalitarian with their show during COVID, but it is near the Ice wall so it had to be on this list.
>>499832926How many times per month do you have power outages? I get one around once a month here in Brazil and it sucks. We also don't have a tax treaty with us so any money made on Steam is reduced
>>499834305Hmmm, I'd say on average 1 every 3-4 months. Generally on the months where there are very big and windy storms there will be a few outages, and then on the rest of the year its nothing.>We also don't have a tax treaty with us so any money made on Steam is reducedOnce you make enough money for 15% you lose to matter you can setup a company in a third country that has a tax treaty with both Brazil and the US and not lose the 15% anymore, although setting this up is more expensive so it only makes sense after you're making a certain amount from your games from Steam.
Fuck you cobbeepostersIm gonna breeewww the third one already
>>499834305The Tax treaty thing is a big problem. If you add Steam cut + US's government cut you end up with exactly 49% of your total earnings, and that's not considering Brazil's income taxes. It's almost like they settled on that number as a joke. There are ways to evade that though, If I ever make it I'll open a business in Oregon or something to receive money, and then pay myself a salary.
>>499833678Neat, I want to get into 3d proc gen at some point. How long did thie take you?
>>499834726How much you end up with depends on how many of your sales end up being to Americans. If you localize your game or it goes popular elsewhere other than America you'll get closer to the 70%. Getting 55% (losing 15% due to half the sales being from Americans) should be the average.

>>>/wsg/5716783Now that raylib has built in gpu skinning, I can finally start adding NPC behavior and have them playing different animations.So they're no longer just running around aimlessly, they're now walking around aimlessly and occasionally stopping.You can see that as I approach them, they start to run. Right now they only have sound to go off, so if they hear Batty or hear another human scream they'll become "alerted" and run from then on. I'm going to add them seeing Batty next. I'd like to keep building on this, make it like a stealth game where they sort of notice the player character and then can become totally alerted to the PC.Uploaded to /wsg/ since the sound is a pretty important part of this.
I didn't win the gamejam
>>499835005oh, so it's related to where the sales come from? I thought it was always going to the US Government because there's where Valve is.
I hate driving, I just got home and want to dev but I'm fucking spent.
>>499835142stupid bat
>>49983520130% of the value that Americans pay goes to the IRS. So if Americans are responsible for 50% of your sales, you'll automatically pay 15% to the IRS (because 15% is 50% of 30%).
>>499835306Rather, because 15% of the total you made is 30% of the 50%. You get what I mean, right? Either way, this can be circumvented once you make enough, and you can also slightly affect it by localizing the game to non English speaking countries.
Today I studied maqams, and now I need to compose a song on each one of those.can't wait for my game to have music that mixes both maqam scales for the high melody trills while the bass uses diferent modes.

how to prevent player from moving slightly when uncrouching on an incline like this?
whats with all the anthropomorphic in mah indies? cant get real women?
>>499838278Didn't you post this exact video a few days ago?
Here's a cool original idea, my dear pears.Make a 2D farming game, but instead is about collecting stones and minerals to craft into jewels which you sell on the market.Basically pokemon but with jewels and stones and some crafting from minecraft and the store mechanic from reccettear.Also, some farming mechanics to harvest healing crystals.
>>499838371Yes, I can't get women. Not a single one
>>499838442this is new a new video.
>>499838485anthros have standards too
I just had an idea. Not just any idea, a perfect idea. The sort of idea that comes to you all at once, a fully feature complete game that races through your mind's eye in an instant. This is it, this is the one. In my mind I've already made it.
>>499838278Crouching should just shrink their hit box and lower the camera, not lower them into the floor. If you have a hack solution like this, i guess you could physically raise them again when the uncrouch.
>>499838371>>499838485>real womennot needed
>>499838804when i crouch i lower the collider's height as recommended by the docs. what goes into the floor is just the model. i am raising the player when i uncrouch, but for some reason it's not consistent. for example, i set it to raise player 5 units up (very exaggerated distance) but sometimes player will stick to the floor.
progress! the drinks got separated in four types, espresso, double, flat white and capuccino, shoppers can order any of thosealso I added the new interaction to the milk steamer so they dont pop on the side when finished (not in the webm)
>>499832646>>499832849It's better to live like a king in Brazil than scrape by in ZOGland.
>>499835013>I get all the advantages of a regular engine and none of the hassle of developing stuff from scratchYeah but it's a voxel game, which is probably one of the few instances where enginedev should be considered.Check out this nerd's voxel enginehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40JzyaOYJeY
>>499839304True, although you shouldn't live like a king really since making money from indie development is not guaranteed forever, so you should live within your means. Unless your game (or games) made high 7 digits then you can probably afford to spend more.

Took me three days to completely wrap my head around unreal's ai systems; but it was worth it.I find "smart" ai's are more interesting and disturbing in games than ones that just blindly follow or run away from the player.
>>499840487lol for a second I thought that was me on the album cover and got super freaked out
>>499840702damn this is gmi
>>499831219>Yeah man can I just have 2^8 shots of espresso?
>>499840702>ee terraformed?
>>499840702can you explain how this ai works? not implementation but its behavior and goals.
>>499840702>ai
>>499840947tldr: is that it only follows the player if it thinks the player can't see it, it will freeze if the player does look at it, but this raises it's stress, if it gets too stressed out it will find a hiding spot, if the stress keeps rising or it can't find a valid hiding spot, it will attack the player.>>499840828graci

>>499800083Cant you just raycast to the platform, get its (physical)velocity and apply to the character? Or this doesnt work in godont?
>>499842210some people arent meant to make it
i actually prefer 2D over 3D in terms of visuals but the limitations of not having the extra axis is a deal breaker for me billboarded sprites just dont cut it for me either i think it makes the game look gimmicky.
what's a good replacement hobby for gamedev?
>>499839304No way. Being among Brazilian and their huehuehue ways sucks that's why I go out of my way to browse non Brazilians websites.

>>499843870yeah!
>>499845538They literally do though. New fancy tools and techniques come out all the time.
>>499845538They don't, that's just content creators finding ways to milk views out of their audiences. It's better to listen to old farts who are set in their ways when you're trying to learn than some wannabe influencer millennial who makes cooking videos from his Bushwick apartment.

how to make a tactics game
>>499846393I'm actually going to make some cake pops tomorrow for my office's Halloween party. I'm going to get white candy melts to coat them with and pipe icing on them to make them look like eyeballs :D
>>499846519it's actually not possible
>>499846478The fact that you need to point out how you barely like any games only proves my point. Don't worry, you'll grow out of this phase.
>>>/wsg/5716831The end result of the human's AI telling them to run as far away from Batty as possible is that they gather in the corners of the map in a writhing, running, mob of humanity. And they make a fantastic noise when you kill like 10 of them at once.So I dunno, I gotta fix this tho. I think I'll have them become unalerted once they get like 300 units away from Batty. I'll see how that works.
>>499846554Sounds like some fancy modern techniques. Either way, I expect pictures tomorrow.
>>499846945>vamp dev is alive
At what stage should my game join next fest?
>>499846554are you living in the Show 'The Office'?
>>499846519All balanced games are just convoluted rps or coin flip. You just have to make sure the process by which the character accrues advantage is enjoyable and that for every action a player takes there's an action the opponent can take to counter it unless you're going for coin flip bigger number wins. Probably.

Does anyone know how to get scrolling inputs working on Godot? It's already on the input map, and it has no problem with recognizing M1 or M2.
>>499846176>want to play games>there's no game I want to playAnd thus I must dev.
>>499847806What are you even asking? It works just like any other mouse button.
tomorrow I start working on my game for realsies
>>499846176Have you considered that you don't actually want to make games you just like the idea of being a game dev
>>499847636You are using move_and_slide for the CharacterBody3D, right?
>>499848343what do you do in this scenario?
>>499848171It's exactly as I described. I'm trying to use the scroll bar but it's not being recognized in-game despite working on the input map in the settings. Even the scroll click works.
>>499848473Either find another hobby or try to focus on the other aspects of gamedeving that is not actually making a game like building systems or assets. This will even be useful since if at some point you get inspired to make a game you will already have some experience.
>>499848836It doesn't show up in a polling loop. You should be handling all your gameplay event inputs inside _unhandled_input(input_event) rather than checking every frame inside _process/_physics_processhttps://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/inputs/inputevent.html
