Done fixing a bug that caused the game to crash when you clicked the message box too fast. It's crazy when you stop and think about it: after fixing a game-breaking bug, you will NEVER have to worry about it again. How neat is that?More importantly, I finished writing all six introduction cutscenes to the game. Different ones play depending on your starting location, introducing different characters and different parts of the lore. Now, I'm not sure if I can get the first main quest done as I had planned (for some reason, I thought DD59 was two weeks away, not one)... but I'll try. If Factorio: Space Age lets me.
can i just have one good idea for a game, thats not super hard to make.
>>499851584nice image, it will go nicely in my collection

>>499851739temari is the superior waifu, she's abrasive and plays mean, but shes soft inside
The best part of being an eric fan is that there are always delightful surprises around the corner to look forward to. Being a fan of other devs must suck so bad in comparison.
>>499851584Good luck
Hinata is the superior waifu. She is cute. Cute!

Make the game you want to play.

Aaaaaaah what's the dang issue I've been eating carrots and broccoli and cauliflower everyday, slimy ham steak was weeks ago. I'll just have to turn the frustration into drive to dev.
>>499852620Grim. I forgot about this guy. Domt they say it takes like 3 games before you strike it big? Im starting to think that "average" includes "indie devs" who have millions and a team of experienced coders, artists, musicians, sfx makers, etc
>>499855694Every day for dinner I have mashed sweet potatoes with plain chicken ( I put hot sauce on it ). Since the start of this year.

It would be nice if there was a way to share games without making an itch account. I don't want to share my current one and making a new one is a pain in the ass..
In my game, the 3D Main menu is a star sanctum and other stars do try to contact you.You can walk around the 3D Main Menu, it is inspired by Dr. Muto's home. You'll get messages from other stars, trying to ask for permission to be let into your 3D Main Menu / Star Sanctum.Your Guide will advise you to ignore the messages and not to wander too far into the depths of the sanctum. And maybe just to focus on the Game modes available.
How hard you working to make demo day aggy?
>>499856484mostly finished, just adding some polish here and there
i fucking hate topolgy

>>499856276>making a new email is too much worksomehow I feel like your games wouldn't be very high quality
>>499856276Tempmail exists and is instant. You don't even need an email for itch
>>499856837It is if you don't have a cellphone or refuse to use one. I didn't make a new email address for years for this reason.
How low poly should I really go? I don't want people to think I'm just cashing in on the trend of "ps1/n64" style visuals, but I also think that low poly would genuinely be the best aesthetic style for my game.
>>499857363Go with the art style that makes your game sing.Avoid Twitter / Reddit / Youtube brain rot.
Steam just page got approved. I might actually hit my target release date.
>>499857964Based.
The next big game WILL feature pink-haired brown girl AIslop. Better make yours first.
>>499855159https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1849577878410723710its fuarking OVER
>>499858705she looks like she fucks Scratch devs
>>499855530But I suck at this. Earlier today I decided to game for once on a fun game. This is a game I played years ago, a lot like a game I played maybe over a decade ago. Just looking at it, it had so much I want to do in one of my ideas. In fact it was the idea I was toying with first while trying out engines. Only really tested it in one. My art was atrocious. It's a small niche but one problem is that almost every single game there has one major advantage over me. (1) first movers advantage, (2) extremely high quality, (3) capitzalized off the niche even with meh art and gameplay, (4) free + decent quality.
>>499858370Yeah, I was an idiot and did not realize that Valve enforces a 2 week wait between store page release and actual game release, so I did not account for it in my original schedule plan. I'm still stuck in stress mode since the game build itself is still in review, but getting the page up was still some small relief.

>>499859058dunno, but I will make serious songs on my next game.
>>499852736>why lie?just a "nice, good job" is sufficient versus coming back later pretending they played it. it's not like i was asking for a play. the former would feel better than the latter. the latter makes me think they either saw it and were turned off or just don't really care, never saw it, and just made it up. lol if it's the latter ask what part they liked, in person. not over text or they might just avoid you, look it up, and make up another lie>inb4 itch just didn't track it properly and they did in fact play it.
I went back to poonity
>>499859495why the hell wouldn't you just use unreal or godot
>>499852631what is even the point of these? kek! is this some sort of fashion statement? may as well start dressing up as anime characters...oh wait somehow that's considered unacceptable but them walking around like that is okay <_<>>499855159 i wonder how many are artists that are just butthurt, enjoy the game but suddenly i see one acting like "noooo how dare you i must refund!!!!" what is wrong with these people? they get so offended.
>>499852631reddit glove
AI chads just keep winning
>>499859687I tried blueprints and didn't like it, Godot's ecosystem for mobile and web is horrendous and I plan to release on consoles, id consider Godot for a desktop only game
>>499859895>Godot's ecosystem for mobile and web is horrendousAre you on 4?
>>499859876is the guy who suicided over an AI? i wouldn't be surprised if he was just trying to use the AI as the scapegoat for his action.>>499859895nta but yeah. for what i'm looking for, Unreal seems to be the hardest one i'd be willing to use but it puts me off with their strange design of C++ and blueprints. C++ already seems hard as it is, tacking on blueprints just feels like it'd be overwhelming.
>>499860069>look as anon tries to customer support you into staying with Godotanon you know they don't pay you for this, why do you defend it so hard? you don't see Unity/Unreal/GameMaker/RPG Maker/etc dev's doing the same thing when someone chooses to drop the engine.
I finished a model and some simple animations

>>499860369idk what that means in this context but ty
>>499856816can i use notepadd ++ with rpg maker and go full scripting?
>>499860246I'm asking because I'm on 3 and wondering if 4 really is that bad for mobile and web, not because I care about giving customer support to some random. Fuck you, I don't give a damn about anon's problems, Godot's problems, or your weird vendetta against Godot, I only care about my game.
>>499860069Yeah I tried 4.3, I've seen that they made a blogpost about sdks so maybe they'll take it more seriously in the future.>>499860079UE solodevs can do incredible things but yeah it's rough.
>>499860930Lol that's not me but yeah basic stuff like firebase or SQLite has issues in 4.3 and even the billing plugin isn't updated with ump (we have until November 1st to update), web still has the same threading issues with sound. It's very clear that they don't give a shit about cross platform
>>499856276I was going to make one but I want to use my game's name for it and I haven't gotten around to snagging the domain name yet so I'm not using the name anywhere.

>Valve never opened up Source 2 for indie devs like they promised ten years agoIm still mad
>>499867096best alternative would be s&box currently they said you can publish games and they dont take a cut or anything who knows if theyll keep that promise. but what does source 2 do that unreal engine doesnt out of curiousity?
>>499867096running steam they realized the sort of trash people make and decided we're not worthy
So I commissioned character busts for my main 4 characters with 6 expressions each. Now I'm thinking about using AI to make a single bust for each npc in the game. Would this be a shit idea, or would nobody care?
>>499867248I don't know about source2 but Unreal sucks. There's a chance source2 doesn't suck.
>>499866323this sounds neat but idk if i can do it :(
>>499867419people will notice if that's what you're askingwe're still at the point where anything that noticeably uses AI artwork immediately cheapens it in peoples' eyes
>>499867248Source 2 has a really good physics engine and hammer 2 is very easy to use. Chaos sucks and Unreal is pretty shit at level design in general without plugins. The modeling tools in UE5 were a step in the right direction but those are nothing compared to a real map editor.
>>499867583megaman but you are a pumpkin head guy. you fight zombies that explode into candy.
>>499867419people won't care if they can't tell it's AI
>>499867660Anime busts look pretty decent imo. Just made this like 2 minutes ago, seems to pass I think.
>>499867419sounds like a recipe for having the artist flame you on social media and being blacklisted as dev
>>499867846it doesntalso if you already paid for some portraits you're going to run into the issue of them not matching the real artwork you paid for, unless you train it on their work I guess
>>499867846it's the small details where it fumbles like those straps and clasps
>>499867674I can't believe chaos doesn't even support multi-threading. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>499867974>What the fuck were they thinking?A lot of Unreal Engine's design can be summed up with that.
>>499867974Who needs high performance physics when you can render trillions of polygons for freeee
>>499868257something along the lines of pedo witch nobeta doesn't seem like it's really that unachievable for a solo dev to be honest
>>499867701
>>499868363kek
>>499860424Thought you were a different dev since your character has a similar squishy effect. This is super adorable and cute tho
Why didn't this genre take off?
>>499868257Wish I could find the "wants to make loli hentai soulslike" bros so I could help them.
>>499868541no one could do it like themnot even themselves, given the state of 2 (which I still like for the record but it doesn't hit the same)getting acquired by the fucking dbd devs is grim
>>499851265Curious what engine would be best for PS2 level visual fidelity, and maybe light RPG elements (inventory, armor, etc.) Something like King's Field.I'd assume Unity.
>>499867974>multi-threadingHow exactly would I make my game multithreaded in Unity or Unreal for example? Any docs that explain this?

>>499868956I've done Unity work, Anon.I just don't like it, but thanks for the non-answer.
Made enough progress on my ECS framework to start replacing flecs with it in my game engine. Benchmarks are comparable with flecs and the API is so much more flexible and ergonomic IMO.
>>499868949considering i tried to install all that shit earlier and failed i'm already dead in the wateras tantalizing as using AI sounds I can't figure it out......shit i was gatekept by fucking github lmao
>>499868906>loli collab>nobody makes lolisdesu all lolidevs should have mandatory loli drawing lessons
>>499869157I've been using DeepAI.org for mine since I don't have a good PC.They will paywall you after ~100 images. I tried switching accounts after that but it didn't work, they must have IP tracked me or something
>>499869104I see people using the included mannequins as placeholders while developing the game mode. Is there anything similar for animals? I haven't been able to find much on character creation, mostly how to implement a character customization for the player. Until I can figure out how to make my own creatures, I'm wondering what everyone does for placeholders.
>>499868541The gameplay format wasn't outstanding. It was fine and served to give the game a unique identity but otherwise the game was carried by other elements such as the voice acting and having a unique artstyle. Unlike gameplay, you don't just copy artstyles unless you're a fag, because nobody thinks "oh I liked that artstyle I want to see someone else try and copy it"
>>499869175That really wasn't the bottleneck. The VRoid placeholders were fine, and I was willing to shell out to pay for artists if need be. We had dozens of unimplemented systems on the TODO list, each of which would've taken a good programmer several weeks of manhours to do, some maybe months. If we were to try it again, I would try UE instead of Godot and buy more assets.
How do you guys deal with anhedonia mid game dev?
>I'm not constantly happy! I must have Le Unhappiness DISEASE!!!
>>499868632Unity has ECS, Jobs and Burst. I think they multithread some things for you automatically but others you'd have to code to be multithreaded yourself using these systems.
>>499870031>loli collabWhen did this happen?>The VRoid placeholders were fineI have doubts about this. The VRoid are good for VRchat but are certainly not something you'd use in a normal project. Even more in a collab for lazy aggy daggy, animating them would be extremely hard and time-consuming.

>>499870482one sec just need to finish implementing this feature
>>499870080i just look at the kanban and do the next item.
>>499870474It was April to May this year. We had a decent pipeline with Mixamo animations and Godot's standard skeleton retargeting, so any animation could be used for any model.
>>499870671made you laugh out loud at least :)
>>499868631You already have your answer. There's really little reason to use anything other than Unity in current year indie dev.
>>499870697Planning on my /agdg/? No way.
>>499870729Wasn't here by that time, guess I missed it.I'm still skeptical about that whole pipeline for a small collab project though.Why did it fail? If you had the models and animations I don't think implementing some basic souls-like gameplay should have been that difficult.
I want to add more content to my game but instead I keep redoing the first part over and over. AIEEEEEEEE
yeah so... where's my fanart?
>>499871038https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYBrZCsjRKgThere was just a demoralizing mountain of systems and tooling that still needed to be built. Some of the tasks were quite big, like a world partitioning / asset streaming system for a seamless open-world, and a movement controller that included IK overrides. (Godot's skeleton system got another overhaul between 4.2 and 4.3, and we right between those two.) There were only 3 of us kind of active together, and one guy (the one who got everyone together originally) dropped out because of some family issue, and I was already low on motivation by the time he left. We tried posting to drum up more interest, but couldn't get more people on board.
This weekend I'll finally start, I will I will
>>499871620Jesus.. The scale of that project sounds way too huge if I'm understanding this correctly.
>>499870031I don't see it that way. If you're not doing art you're not making an anime game, you're just making a game.
>>499871804Yeah, pretty much. I took some of those systems for granted since they're free or could be bought as assets in other game engines. Godot is definitely still behind in terms of tooling for the standard 3D open-world adventure game that UE is designed for.>>499872009JLMG

>>499872130This is why I've always suggested the collabs to go for simpler games first. You can almost expand on the game after, but that's assumed we can get it finished first.There's a lot of low-poly talking recently so I'm lurking a bit to see if anything gets started.
Anyone here interested in making a game with me?
>>499872660yep, I am, what do you want to make? I have some ideas too
Avoid those baits though >>499872660
>>499872431Low-poly wouldn't be any lower scope, since we weren't making our own asset yet anyways.
>>499872394no lolis in there either. only some tranny text-to-speech.

>>499873342Tomorrow I'm going to start making real progress if only I could freaking falk asleep why is sleeping so damn hard.
>>499873381Spooky
>>499873381!!!!!!!I LOVE IT!!!!
>>499873602>yet another scripting languagethischangesEVERYTHING
I'm thinking of making a game about cooking things rectally, does anyone know how long it would take to boil an egg this way?
>>499873741I avoid sleeping, I fear going to tomorrow. It results in me sleeping late. Which doesn't help because the day feels shorter. A lot of my development happens around midnight which feels late. So I only really get into dev mood around 11pm, where I feel a need to make progress, some is better than none even if development is slow. It doesn't help that I feel my game is ngmi which puts me off from devving.
>>499873381will join if i can find a cute 2d or 3d witch
>>499874040Rectal temperature is like 35-37C. Egg whites coagulate at 62-65C and yolks at 65-70C, so you could never cook an egg an anal cavity. Sorry.
>>499874129I sleep as much as I can, but it ends up giving me kidney stones which as you might guess make it very hard to work on my game while recovering.
>>499873526That's hard man. But you know if you want something right, you gotta do it yourself. Kinda curious though what it will look like with both blender and pixel art. Keep up!>>499873741Heavy blankets and cold air helps me a lot. Also a cup of water, peeing first, and loose clothes.
>>499874209>anon thinks you can't boil an egg at 35°CLMAO, guess you skipped chemistry class. Ever heard of pressure cooking, my dude? Just lower the atmospheric pressure and voila, what a retard
>>499874354if ur so smart then whats the melting point of an egg, huh?

>>499874428Eggs are already liquid bozo
>>499874129I used to be like that. Still am on my weaker days. Don't do it. You just lose precious hours from the day after.Remember that tomorrow starts with the preparations of today. You gotta be strong anon, and put down your stuff 11pm the latest.
Do you think making a "joke game" would work? I'm thinking of making an absurdist style farming sim. Where you water your plants that look like corn but have turds instead of cobs with diarrhea. People drink out of plates instead of cups. You milk the cows for gravy. Etc. Would it be a waste of time, or...maybe?
>>499874668but what if I die in my sleep? Then I'd just be losing an hour of progress
>>499874761you think mcd20 or whatever the fuck is just an elaborate joke?
>>499874761Nice idea, guy.
>"oh, you're a female game developer? how many games have you developed?"
>>499874761The truth is you won't make any game, that's the issue.
>>499874886those are men
>>499874773As someone who also dealt with the anxiety around dying in my sleep, you have to remember that not sleeping will result in your overall lifespan being shorter. It might be an hour tonight but it's more like a year lost later. Lack of sleep is a slow killer.
>>499874886there are more women working in gamedev than men

>>499875415MGS is not boring, nor are its characters uninteresting. Though 4 was really fucking stupid about the length of the cutscenes. Pretty sure it inspired the entire movement of "Let the player do the cool stuff from the cutscenes".
In the far future your character commits suicide and then is taken to a beautiful afterlife, only to be reawoken a few thousand years later by future humankind. They are going around using stem cells to revive long dead humans by regrowing their brains and placing them in robot bodies. They are doing this out of pure love and helpfulness as they have world peace and live forever after becoming a type 2 civilization. They do not believe in an afterlife, but your character has been spending the last few thousand years in total bliss. Your goal of the game? To try to kill yourself to get back to that bliss by any means necessary. The future humans will try to stop you any way possible.
>>499875182telling my kids this was psychonauts
>>499875415I don't know who that is
>>499875341You could be fucking it up any of a dozen ways and there's no way for me to tell without looking through your project. I made a quick demo with the default CharacterBody3D template script and a AnimatedBody3D moving platform and it just works.
>>499875182The more I watch the more disgustipated I am at this.>Blatant stuttering and jittering because optimization isn't a thing anymore>The woman's spirit/soul flying in circles instead of going straight for bodies looks stupid, not cool.

Need a second opinion, do you prefer the heads on the left or the right? (Ignore the bodies. Or don't, feel free to comment on those too if you want.)
>>499876083left for horned gal and right for snake gal
>>499876083left for both. I absolutely hate this trendslop twitter coomer art style though. hope the game has good gameplay.
>>499876083The ones on the right are pretty much an improvement over the left ones in all aspects, though the horned office lady has much harsher shading, especially on the skirt.
>>499876083For top, right. The white brows just works better with that color scheme.For bottom, both are good. Left gives a tired neet-ish look. Right gives a quiet and possibly shy scientist look.
Huh, apparently that's the end of Sakurai's channel or at least that's what it sounded like, unless the secret project he's on gets revealed there but idk.

>>499876557>caring about e-celebs
>>499876557I'll probably give a last look at all of his gamedev videos but the issue is most of his takes come from a company's perspective, not an individual. Those piece of advice are useless for indies, and the rest is just muh discipline which has nothing to do with gamedev.
working on a new tutoriala lot of people say the tutorial should be a part of the story, i'm not so sure if thats always the best way.
>>499876083both left, what game?
>>499876083It's not about our preference, it is about what they communicate, and whether that is okay with how you imagined them.The way I see it, Top Left has a warmer look. She also seems more simple, as the eyelashes look like regular makeup. Right has a colder look with the blonde eyelashes, looking a bit more severe. Probably the more toned neck gives it that feeling.Bottom right seems like a more messy person in general. That little pony tail makes me think like they have tied that on Monday, and haven't touched it since. Left one in turn just had a bad hairday, or walked through wind and got a little messed up. Her expression is also more like she heard some bad news, looking disappointed. Meanwhile the right one looks closer to crying.
It's actually kind of crazy how easy it is to make editor plugins for Godot.
Is it possible to make a popular game without waifus?
>>499878105Better than Unity's retard IMGUI trash.
>>499878106if its a really really really really good game
>>499869812>They will paywall you after ~100 images. I tried switching accounts after that but it didn't work, they must have IP tracked me or somethingSo what did you do to not pay the AI hegemony after that?... You aren't actually paying for AI, are you? You aren't, right?
>>499878106do you hate waifus?
>>499872168
>>499851621Sure, as soon as people start funding my experimentation. Otherwise I need to make a reliable game with tested and true mechanics that will make money.
>>499860250This feels very strange, she looks naked without scale bikini bottoms or a tiny scale loincloth, but adding that might make it even lewder.
I will not be demoralized!
>>499875960The player sticks to the platform just fine when stationary. The only issue that arises, after further testing, is that they slide off the platform only when said platform is moving upwards + horizontally. I guess the only thing I am doing differently is updating the position of the moving platform directly with code via it's global_position instead of using an animation player and path3d to change it's position.
>>499878106Factorio doesn't have any waifus.
You get nude in the forrest, right anon?
>>499878106Minecraft? Most popular games have no waifus.
>>499877992My game.>>499878030Damn, thanks for taking the time to write that. It's actually very close to their personalities.Canonically, the top one has fluffy white eyelashes like Ramlethal https://litter.catbox.moe/49bnmb.jpgHowever I "feel" like it doesn't look that good in pixel art/at the low resolution I'm drawing. So I was torn between keeping simplified black eyelashes that look better, or canonical ones that reflect the original intention of the character at the risk of looking worse. So I wanted to check if other people also think it looks worse or it was just me.Bottom one is messy and tired yeah, the ponytail will be in the final design either way, but I was torn between keeping the more anatomical correct placement of the mouth on the right, or the more droopy looking but obviously "wronger" expression on the left.
>>499878963My demo is just a Tween. One guess is that you are unnecessarily setting CharacterBody3D.velocity to something with a non-zero y component every frame, which is causing it to constantly leave and reenter the floor.
>>499879231Cute art.What's the game like?
>>499878982No, that would be illegal.
>>499879086
>>499879307You set traps, cursed items and monster encounters on a grid to keep adventurers from reaching the end of the dungeon.It was supposed to be a short 6 month project just to see the process of finishing something and putting out on Steam, nothing complicated, but I'm already on month 10.
>>499876083something that's worth remembering is that unless the characters are always at a fixed resolution, having thicker lines protects it against antialiasing.The black lines under the bust of the top-right character are thicker than the character's outline which doesn't seem good.I might've expected her skirt to also have some crease lines, likely vertically over the indent where her groin is, since right now it looks like it's glued there.If you don't want to make lines thinner, you can color some of the inner lines in a darker-than-shadow color. You already did that on the top-left and it may be good, but the top-left has the problem that the shirt is just too light and attracts too much attention compared to the face and everything else.Yeah, I'm thinking about it and top-right is better than top-left in terms of lines/design but the reason top-left might look better is because the blue colors are more pleasant. Maybe give the top-right's shirt a slight blue tint and try to keep the shadows consistently both darker and more saturated without hue-shifting it towards blue so much. Basically, color theory likes it when you move 2, maybe 1 axis (darkness, saturation, hue) but moving 3 at once looks less pleasant, and you've doing a lot of 3 axis shiftsyeah I have no idea if I'm even right or how to teach that so uhhhh good luck
>>499879549>It was supposed to be a short 6 month project just to see the process of finishing somethingYou have>dialogue art>a grid map for combat with its own UI>an isometric management screen with god knows how much UIThat's 3 different projects worth of game and that's assuming there isn't even more shit you aren't showing like a menu. You've got triple the work just from that, you're never gonna finish something like that in 6 months.I made this mistake too.
>>499879231No problem man, this is what we're supposedly here for. I myself also been pondering a lot about my characters, though I will likely have to enlist an artist, and it pays if I can explain to them what I want from a character.>Canonically, the top one has fluffy white eyelashes like RamlethalShe has warmer auburn eyes, and being higher resolution gives her the advantage of more detail you can work into it.>I was torn between keeping the more anatomical correct placement of the mouth on the right, or the more droopy looking but obviously "wronger" expression on the left.Such exaggerations can work out with the anime style. If you give them a few variant expressions, you can show that this is not where their mouth's are, it is just the expression they are making.>>499879549Man, you're gonna slay. I can tell. I really need to pick up my slack.
>>499879549gmigmi
>>499879549I really like the the animations

>>499879549Do you control the monsters?
>>499879549>>499879231Great idea, great art and good progress. Don't worry about time. My initial project was supposed to be a year, it's year three now with no end in sight. I haven't even scope crept, this is all part of the original design. My advice, just keep going and deliver something amazing. Success will follow.
>>499879754Yup... I'm learning this the hard way. Wish I had talent for coming up with those fun "one single scene" game ideas.>>499879576I think you're right about the skirt, I'll try to re-do it. I'll fiddle with the colors but I'm so bad at color theory I'm considering hiring an artist just to do a pass over the whole game and fix them for me.>>499879834>>499879904>>499880023>>499880032Thanks guys. Surprisingly good reception at this hour, there's usually a lot more vitriol in the evenings.>>499880289Yeah you use them to place traps and sabotage treasure chests but if they adventurers reach them, combat starts and you won't be able to use them afterwards so you gotta plan their moves in advance a bit.
>>499880448>My advice, just keep going and deliver something amazing.This is the Bokube/Marmoreal mindset.
>>499880473don't take the color stuff too seriously, I'm staring long and hard at my color wheels as I try and comprehend itI've been using the square version forever I fucking hate that square because if you move towards black, you also desaturate the colorreally just theorycrafting here, but I think the way you do shadows is you move away from the white color on the triangle, and when I do it I move towards black on the triangle, which is differentI also get super fucked up because I recolor some sprites in-engine and it ruins all these hours of staring at colors and trying to get color theory right aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAA

>>499881381nice photoshop skills
I feel like animating without relying on inverse IK is significantly more difficult, but now I'm learning that most game engines fuck up when you try to import animations made using rigify to them and turn your animations into wacky shit for some reason.
>>499881504there are 2 ways of animatingmocap and ik, anyone doing something else isn't an indie

>>499881504rigify isn't configured for use in a game engine. you have to watch some videos to get it to do that.
Progress: basic mouse control
>>499881773I found an addon that purports to solve the problem, I'll have to see if it works or nothttps://toshicg.gumroad.com/l/game_rig_tools
This gamehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3243190/Psychopomp_GOLD/It is literally a much better version of that edgy 2d game some anon is making; gameplay is better, art is better, and I guarantee the creator has less of an ego.
>>499880448Thanks man, I tried doing some bigger projects before actually, but I always gave up on them at around year 2 or 3. I just didn't have it in me to work on the same thing for that long. (Or maybe I was just getting more impatient to have something out with each passing year, as I saw other devs release their games in the meanwhile.)How do you keep interest in working on it for that long? Is your entire design set in stone? It seems very polished for a one man indie game. (Assuming you're solo.)>>499880970It's a simple autobattler where units take turns damaging each other based on their Attack - Defense, so you can technically reason the outcome of the battle before it happens. Cursed items will disable or weaken the units for a couple of turns, which is why the combat happens in turns anyway and isn't auto-resolved instantly. It's a very plain and simple approach which is why I had delusions I could finish it in 6 months, but oh well.Webm related is an extremely rough and unpolished depiction of it to get an idea, I haven't gotten around to properly doing combat yet.

>>499883117I haven't played a lot of them, just one or two but I didn't find the voice work to make them bad. And for non-game porn animations I think the voice work enhances them a lot, so I don't see how it could be bad for a video game since it's basically animation combined with gameplay.

You get in and it's basically /gmi/, only 20 outsider games max a year can appear there through my program. 1 stipulation, you can't put your game on Steam, nor have had it on there ever. You will get sued out of all your wealth should you betray this contract, 20% cut btw. I will make Steam crumble as the interest in being on my storefront grows out of control. Triple A is not getting in either especially not those with the the third party account required (when not an mmo) or those with garbage like Denuevo. Woke need not apply. Updating your game post release and adding wokeness can have your game removed with a massive penalty. My lawyers will be so good I'll win all those cases.

>>499884648Not really. I don't know where I'd make one.
>>499868541DD is one of my favorite games, and honestly, Red Hook's design skill is tremendously underrated. All of the imitators just make much shallower clones.

>>499885003What sort of game dev could you possibly be doing on your phone? I would be genuinely interested in seeing that.
>Game dev on a phone
>>499885564I've managed to install git on mine and push commits to my pc through the wifi, since my programming workflow is entirely text-based I'd be able to make any game programming wise. Art-wise I used to use sketchbook pro to be able to make art at what I consider to be gamedev level but it became incompatible with me and I don't really have incentive to look for a mobile art program anymore. But in theory you could even draw by hand and take photos with the phone for the art

>>499885204You gotta know you can't go to sleep when you decide to go to sleep. Only people with busy schedules and clear conscience can do that.

>>499890065>>499891460You don't get unprompted negative feedback unless you're being a complete retard or if your game does advanced shit that's incomprehensible to the room-temp IQ SOVLtard. Middle ground, straightforward, inoffensive games like yours aren't going to trigger much of a reaction. Your game looks fine, but it's unappealing, and I doubt there's much content. It's like a free flash game.

Are there any good tools for development that are new? I have to imagine there's tools that make use of AI for world building and/or task management or anything else game dev wise. Want to be able to give it a bit of info and fill shit out. Not just generative world building stuff (which I will replace later, but getting AI placeholders is great) but also task management. I should be able to tell the AI what I want to accomplish and it makes tasks for meI'm sure this exists. But if not maybe I should make that instead. But I'm sure there's thousands
I was going to respond but then you mentioned **.
>>499893584I have no interest in any tool that doesn't use it so that's fine with me. I am well aware of countless plebian tools that require manual effort that takes up more time than actual game dev. Keep living in the past, grandpa.
>>499892726i just want to make geam for agdg halloween jam bro...
Even though it is steam and valve's fault I failed, I won't blame them. :)
>>499893450Yes AI with your own edits is the most optimal way to gamedev nowadays, everyone is using chatgpt or Claude over google/stackoverflow for programming. Just don't use IDE plugins and don't expect it to cook a perfect solution eveye time.
>>499888530There's no need to market a porn game. Just post on Itch and F95 and it'll be fine.>>499892683Of course not, I'm not some kind of monster. During the purge of last year, Itch targetted pages with 0% rev share with priority. It's also said they downrank those. I would still probably do it if it were my primary source of income.
>>499894013NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>499893820In my case I actually want it for everything BUT the programming, which I will doI basically want one place I can go where I can see my world building stuff, game dev stuff, tasks, etc, in one place, with AI to generate placeholder content, AND ideally manage my tasksmaybe I'm asking too much right now. I should make this myself. Like what Co-Pilot wants to do but for game-dev, AI game dev partnerIt can already teach you how to dev naturally so I could even shill this to regular peopleI should just make this instead of a game

>>499894036>There's no need to market a porn game. Just post on Itch and F95 and it'll be fine.when would be a good time to start posting though? as soon as the first playable build is ready or earlier?
>>499885564i'm this poster lol, i made the models in blender (with winulator) and exported them to blockbench (mobile) and imported them to godot mobilethe only problems i encountered were due to my inexperience with godot or any type of coding at all besides html and a bit of gta opcode scripting here are thereby now i'm sure i figured out how to make a character walk since i've moved a cube, but i'm making a different character with a bit more appealing proportions, less tris, and hopefully better textures, and gonna test how fbx armatures and animations are imported, since i don't use a version of blender that exports gltf on mobilealso i don't have a bluetooth keyboard or anything lol
>>499883895Oh no no no no No No No NO NO NO NO!
Lost my job boysTime to neetdev againI'm so fucking back
>>499895137these are all visibly using textures sir
>>499895274deserved for not being an ethical gooner :p
just dont be a pedo it's really not fucking hard
>>499895274Their banning without appeal rules is so fucking dumbI worked on a porn game and we had mocap and and a 3D scan of an actual porn star, so we used her name in the game, like to market her and because it makes sense that you'd feature the name of the porn star in the game since it's a scan of a real oneWell they have some unwritten (at least I never saw it) where you can't use the names of real people, even though she consented and wanted it. They banned us and would not let us appeal at all. WE COULD HAVE SIMPLY CHANGED THE CHARACTER'S NAME, WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW. Nope, banned permanently, no appeals.So fucking dumb.
>>499891548thanks man i just looked up those games on youtube they look really fun>>499891878fair enough, i'll see what i can do to work on that with some unique mechanics or gameplay. I think i'll try a new direction after i release this one so i'll definitely take this feedback into account for my next one and give it some more edge, maybe a hentai game lol>>499892025thanks man, its a good point. I don't really have an idea of what genre to pin it in or who it's for yet or even if theres anyone who enjoys or buys this type of game. I'm hoping finishing and releasing it teaches me a bit more in time for my next one though
>>499895367it's a mix of the two, vertex colors and regular texturing
>>499875182modern? this isn't some AA game from near the launch of the ps4?
>>499895274Hypocritical considering that there are numerous porn games in high school or games with little boy protagonist and porn but then again fuck lolisharts it's never worth pandering to those turds.
>>499895527I imagine it's probably really hard.Otherwise people wouldn't end up in prison because of it.
>>499895527exactlyy>>499895546this is actually tragic though, i had no idea you can't use real people's names in steam games, that's a weird rule, but i doubt they'd apply it to wrestling or sports games from 2k, if anything they're probably just against porndevs
gabe newell the paedo demolisher
>>499893450Redot is good
>>499895638this looks like it's on the pico8, weirdly it's not bad
>>499891947That's odd, did you use a weird email to sign up like one of those anonymous throwaways?
>>499895939The rule only applies to porn games, I guess it makes sense to some degree, like, they wouldn't want me releasing Taylor Swift XXX or whateverBut like I said, we had consent, and if that doesn't matter, we could have changed the characters name in 5 minutes. But they just completely banned us with no chance to appeal and refused to communicate. So frustrating and unnecessary. Like if Jane was named Janet instead we'd be fine. This happened a half decade ago and now im mad all over again.
>>499896449you could've used that half decade to make a better game
>>499895274>>499895546Not my heckin' coomer games.
>>499896845I did, I got out of the porn industry and got a job making six figures. You can make it bros.Well, I'm not working on games. But I'll take the tradeI'm still salty about that situation though. Even though it worked out fine, it was still pretty lame of Valve
>>499895637Piggybacking off what >>499891878 said, your game just seems uninspired. I don't see what sets it apart from 1000 other arcade style games other than "haha you can be a cat", but that's just a different sprite on the same game that other devs have probably done better, hardly worth shelling money out for
wait, you guys are trying to SELL your games?
>>499897041do porn games really make more money than anything else for indie devs?
>>499897354yes
>>499897354Yes... I need to start making money with my game ASAP or I'm at a higher than ever before risk of getting employed.
>>499897359if it's anything like being an artist, it's a fair bit easier to get noticed and get signal-boosted drawing smut or suggestive works than drawing sfw stuff
>>499897354trying... but failing... spectacularly!
>>499897359unless you are crislike you can't fail with a porn game
>>499895274That's fucking bullshit, they should at least let them change it.
>>499897556Holy shit I just had an idea what if:>draw smut or suggestive works to get noticed>but make SFW game
>>499897556It's essentially the same trade off. You're more likely to get attention making porn games just like you're more likely to get attention making porn drawings. To a moral purist fag like me, this makes you a lesser, a hack, someone who didn't want to find a way to make their product good enough in its own right that they needed the dopamine center of porn to do all the heavy lifting for them. Porn game devs are creatively bankrupt and will never be true game devs, and I get to be the arbiter of that definition. I won't be taking any questions.
valve should never have opened the coom floodgates
>>499897894So you never tried making porn but you imagine it's easy as a coping mechanism so you can pretend other people aren't more successful than you?
>>499897894by that logic making a game for any market whatsoever makes you just as much of a hack.
>>499898167that's actually true, selling your work immediately invalidates any artistic meritartists are supposed to subsist on air alone
Progress,New challenge lvl; hopefully i'll finish another one for DD
Speaking of steam rules, are there any rules against smoking, selling drugs, prostitution? I'd think not since GTA is allowed. But who knows, for some reason games are heavily censored compared to other art.
>>499897298thanks man I think i obviously need to add something that immediately jumps out as different. it does have some things that might set it apart but they're not easy to show. you can hire cats to fight as army with you through levels, theres some puzzles and the multiplayer works too but only offline (couch co-op) so far.oh it has story and characters too some who give you quests like delivering something from one area to another, kind of like a 2d yakuza game.not the best screenshot but it shows some cats fighting on your side
>>499897359No. Very good, engaging indie games that appeal to a wide demographic will make more money than porn games, especially if you also add mtx and get it on consoles and mobile stores. With porn games, you have to rely on Patreon whales for money. Although, you can add good porn to a mediocre game and it will do much better.

me when I flip the quad tesselation
>>499898925>that's probably already been done a million timesMaybe. But I've never heard of it.
>>499898449Not per say, but I've seen a lot of games give disclaimers/mature content warnings in their description. "This game contains mature content such as drugs etc. etc."
>>499897359I dunno, horrorslop sells as well. There are other markets you can aim for. Porn just requires you to do less market research because people will always want more of it and there's a lack of supply due to people being too ashamed to do it and bigger studios not wanting to tackle it. Not to mention some people might not have the sex drive to do it for very long, I wonder if that's what happened to yokcos.I'd say there's less potential to go big though. You can't go viral because you can't even get your content on youtube or tiktok or anything, so your dreams of becoming the next Scott FNAF is zero. Horrorslop has a much fatter chance of getting picked up by content farmers and leads better into merchandise or other nonsense.If you want to learn art, porn is a good place to start because people will accept it even if it's kinda trash. Just beware you might get caught in porn forever if you don't want to betray the audience you make.

>>499899474Rule 1 to me is kinda tricky. Like, if I'm in a fantasy world, can one magic race hate another magic race, like idk all rpgs have always done? Or is that muh hate speech? What a gay fucking rule.
>>499899645This was quite a while ago so maybe they added that to clarify. Or we missed it, I don't know. The "real people" implies it's the combination of the name + textures though. Like the only sexually explicit "image" was the body texture on the character model, there wasn't like porn pictures in the gameAnd I gauranteeeee people are using body scan textures, not everyone is drawing up their body textures lol. The only difference is we attached the name to the texture while others don't so you don't know who the real person isRegardless I don't remember that being there when we did it.

Do you think people like Gabe or Kojima or Houser bros made games?No. They used money to pay talent to make the most popular games in the world. At best they all acted as creative directors, that's all.So stop wasting time and hire and direct people to make your game for you.

>>499903567It was just a funny example to get the point across. I'm looking now over the onboarding process posted.https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/faq>Q. Why do I need to obtain an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)?>A. Generally, a foreign person is subject to U.S. tax on its U.S. source income. Most types of U.S. source income received by a foreign person are subject to a U.S. tax rate of 30%. A reduced rate, including exemption, may apply if there is a tax treaty between the foreign person's country of residence and the United States. In order to exercise the benefits under the tax treaty, you will need to complete a Form W-8BEN and that requires either a foreign TIN or a US TIN. Countries that have tax treaties with the U.S. can be found here:Do yuros in the thread with a Steam page have this? Valve says it takes several months for them to be issued, is that true? If so I'll probably need to get started a lot earlier than I expected.
>>499903604don't do it broyou need sharp pixels for that authentic retro look
>>499903604works for Nintendo
>>499903814thanks man! I'll see if i can make the UI fit a bit better up the top too
>>499894247left looks good but you can't tell what is in front of what, right looks shit but the volume is clear
>>499904362Yuro here, my country apparently has a tax treatie. The "TIN" I needed is the one used locally, by the gov, it has a different name but the idea is the same. You can usually get one within a few days, it may or may not require setting up a company. It is NOT your "VAT" tax id, but basically your personal tax ID under which you file income tax.

Will your game be popular enough that people will imagine your game's protagonist fighting other vidya characters?
Why are you just cloning a game you like rather than inventing an entirely new genre of gameplay? Do you really lack any imagination at all?
>>499907053It might look like I'm cloning but I invented the genre independently and was just unlucky that someone else thought of it at the same time
>>499907053Because I don't want to play an entirely different new genre I want to play genre I like but done right.
I'm totally lost right now. I learned Unreal Engine to make a game I had in mind for years. Spent some time doing it but now I can handle myself with the engine.But right now, I have no experience making any type of games and I have no idea what to do in front of the level editor.I guess I should do one of the following things, but which path would you advise me to follow:> Watch tons of Youtube videos on gameplay features and reproduce> Think of feature and implement it myself through Google and researching> Find a course on my type of game and follow along
>>499907053I was stupid to fall for the "popular indie game but with my take". I want to kms every single day for not being original and trying to profit from the success of others. I want to project hop so bad but there's a lot time invested already. Better I finish this shit and see what I get.
>>499906843No... Nobody will like my game...
>>499907550Do this> Think of feature and implement it myself through Google and researchingYou can still look at tutorials if you think it will teach you something concrete and specific that you need for the feature you're working on at the moment. For example, how to make a water shader. But if you spend more than 20-30 minutes watching tutorials instead of actually doing something, you're probably back into tutorial hell and you need to get out immediately
>>499907707At least you haven't been stuck with this overscoped project in mind that made you spend years of learning shit all that for not being able to dev since the project is too big. Kek what a fucking nightmare I got myself into.
>>499895143On Itch you can start posting asap.F95 when you have something playable of around an hour or so, as you get a lot of extra views when you first post.
Is it too early for depressionposting or can I start already?
C'mon anon, progress for dd!
>>499908798go ahead, at least i know that others have a worthless life too..
>>499908315Thanks. But can I be spoonfed fag for a second?How do I stop myself from ending up looking at a tutorial in the end? Let's say I want to make strafing movements (which I do). Well, after setting up the inputs and condition to trigger the strafe (let's say a simple button press), I'll google "how to make straffing movement" and I'll only find videos and tuts. How do I have to proceed to not get back in this tutorial hell (I'm actually in that shit and it's been a long time now).In short: How do I become a real DEVELOPER. There's no tutorial about that (unironically)
my life is pretty great.my game, however, is not.that's okay because this is just a hobby
>ask any programming people on how to do something>*scolds you for four paragraphs for not adhering to their quasi merit-based work ethics and then dumps two compsci textbooks on you*>ask ai-sensei on how to do something>gives me the exact method I need for copypasting without any moralizingThanks AI-sensei!
its gonna be hard to top Alice as a designshe's basically universal and not in a disney princess way
>>499908798
>>499909287Tutorials are great for the beginning. If you've never animated anything, you should be following along, taking notes, trying to understand the fundamentals of what's going on. Then you should try doing something similar without the tutorial. Do that for 3-5 tutorials and you should have the basics to start doing things on your own. But it's really important that you're trying to learn and understand the concepts, not just using the tutorial as a hand-holding guide on getting the thing you need without really letting the info soak in. That's how you end up like tutorial hell people who've made 30+ scripts and still don't understand when to use a for loop without someone explicitly telling them
I hope my next player (estimated time: 3 weeks) enjoys the patch I'm doing right now!
>>499908135we can collab and make a game where our two unloved protaganists fight? (presumably because they also don't like eachother on some level)
>my wageslave pays $1.4/hour>12 hours work>i need these $16.8 so i can leave this weeki'm going to kill myself if my game do not make it
>>499909287Use chatgpt. Eventually it'll annoy you. Also tutorials are too much fucking work. A lot of those guys are retarded and make all kinds of extra code that for sure doesn't apply to your game. Chat will help you for a long time, but it'll also force you to think because it fucks up all the time.
>>499908798Way ahead of you... >>499908135
>>499909287Ideally, after a while you'd get to a level where you'd be able to build the features that you want by composing pieces that you already figured out. For example, if you've already learned how to move objects, you don't need a tutorial for strafe movement, because that's just moving an object laterally.Also, instead of watching a 20 minute tutorial that's designed to waste your time, you can try using the official documentation, or ask chatgpt for some tips (but don't be the guy that copies code from chatgpt without understanding it). This would be good for something like "how does pathfinding work in Unreal". You just want to get an overview of what the fundamentals are, then once you know them, you do it on your own.

>>499894247vertex colors are way too fucking powerful brosthis is after setting up lighting with purple and yellow lights and then baking it into the vertex colors, mixed with the flat color of the palette from Lospec easy as shit to do as well. I thought getting Vagrant Story type results would mean hand-painting everything, but you can just use actual lights
>>499910852all jobs should be considered real jobs, it's messed up that people know there are jobs that need to be done, but they also believe the people who do these jobs don't deserve enough money to support a family or even enough money to live at allwithout college, being an entrapenuer might be the only key to survival, luckily, alot of people like video games, are willing to pay alot of money for them, and there's a lack of good games in the aaa space aside from gta, rdr, and sparking zero

lmao redot got hacked
>>499876083top left bottom right
Let's do math.This model takes 4-5 hours to be finished and have 1 animation.At 2 usd (my country wages) this means it cost basically 10 usd to make.A 32x32 pixel art takes me 10 minutes to make.So it boils down to 40 cents more or less to me.After 25 sprites, the price is the same.Making a new character would usually require a new texture, which would be 1 hour of work.If we assume 8 directions walk cycle and idle cycle, at 4 frames each one.Then is 8 * 4 frames being 32 sprites.Therefore my styles is even cheaper than 32x32 pixel art.
>>499910248on the bright side if you only make 1.4/hour then any sales will seem huge to you. seriously just make a lot of small games you'll be rich in your countryalso there are online jobs you can do for international companies surely. hell even filling out surveys online pays more than 1.4 an hour i think?
>>499914778sure
>>499914679Chudbros...
>>499914470ohh you mean bake it into the texture? yeah that's easily done, but you have to make sure UVs don't overlap. here's the setup and the render with the baked texture applied could make this look better if I adjusted the lighting so it doesn't have those horrible black shadows, but it's just a proof of concept
>>499913468>he hasn't jumped on the hyperbolic-like train
>>499913704are cat games really guaranteed to sell?
>releasing without 7k wishlists>releasing without reaching out to 3k influencers>releasing without texting Gaben to blackmail him over his Asian escort addiction
>>499915586it seems it requires high res and texture filtering to look good
>>499914778You've been posting that model for like 4 years. So actually it should be priced at 4 x an annual salary
>>499911876this comparison is bad for obvious reasons>>499914778we been knew 3d art is cheaper than pixel art, pixel art is hard to do well, let alone animate, people would probably be better off making full sized drawings3d is hard because the programs are confusing, but when you know how to use one, there's not much you can't do, and there's entire concepts 2d artists have to dedicate their lives to mastering, that 3d artists don't have to worry about, like perspective

Anyone switched to Unity 6? How is it? Is it safe to switch?
>>499917652Ok, I will stay alive and miserable.
>>499912482Nice work, I like the avatar style at the bottom. I'm looking to do something similar, but my skills are still a ways off.
>>499917807i wouldnt say it is inherently bad, but i would always reverse the perceived difficulty. instead of punishing bad players you should rather reward good players and shift the general difficulty of the game. as an example i would use dead cells, each floor has the speed and no damage reward. the player is indirectly punished by not completing these tasks, but in the beginning of the game it is presented as something that "good" players will get. the early levels are also easily winnable without those rewards too. which makes in total for a better learning curve as well as added difficulty without insulting the player unnecessary. although it depends on the playerbase, this approach is def more normie friendly, but some communities like to be spit in the face like caves of chud
>>499918094please get some real friends dude, i'm telling you it really isn't that hard, you wouldn't need to do this every day in the amateur gamedev general>>499918360it's very buggy and a lot of critical assets are not updated yet, we're not switching to it at work and stay with 2022
>>499918360i switched to godot then had to switch to redot for obvious reasonsand surprisingly redot is good. I think godot never had a hit game and now redot is here with an active dev team all it will take it is one hit game to launch it into the mainstream where godot never reached for obvious reasons. unity 6 is cool too
>>499918536I use rewired and that doesnt work with unity 6 yet. i've heard unity's new input system is better but i've been using rewired for 2 years nowyou know recently unity refused me a refund on an asset that didnt work too. i'm still in emails with them but they take 3 weeks to reply and they flat out insisted they wouldnt provided a refund (which is unlawful for them to do if the thing doesnt work) in the first email, i think they really dont want to give refunds

>>499917653nothing, I'm just artfagging. I don't even take my shit outside of blender because A, I can't code, and B I'm worried the workflow I've made will fall apart once I take it into an engine. I'm just a perfectionist autistif and when though, it'll be a King's Field / Shadow Tower clone
I'm starting to think 49 chunks wasn't enough.pictures. 121 chunks.
>>499918942Slay the Spire 2 releases in 2025 and that's using Godot. After that /agdg/ will have no more excuses to not use Godot.
>>499917652Never say never
>>499918618i heard you can make a first person shooter in unity 6
>>499918360By the way looks like it's technically version 6000. I think since they were naming it 2022, 2023, that somehow messed up the versioning lol! Now they can't say it's 6 because softwarewise going to a lower number would be considered a downgrade
>>499919161>date gets pushed to 2026 due to godot issue
>>499919274in theory yes you could. whats more impressive is skateboarding games. unity 6 is capable of many game types.
>>499918536>it's very buggyIs it really? I want to remove the splash screen etc.
>>499919161what if they move to redot?
>>499919615>What if they move to GodotGee, I don't know anon. You tell me.
>>499918536Most people can get through a picture of a tree just fine without having a meltdown, so what's the downside of him doing "that" exactly?You're also probably aware that asking people to stop being a shut in and just get some friends usually doesn't work, even if you say please, so whay are *you* doing this exactly? It looks like you were just trying to humblebrag, honestly.
>>499918378thanks
>>499919476is there any version of unity where you can still publish to console without paying like $3000 usd?
>>499919028no? undertale is more like a tranny game that was the first lgbtq+ game back in whenever it released, the market has changed people are modding balatro and getting into godot

good morning aggies
I'm an idea guy, I need help deciding on what direction I'm going to take my idea as I start actually devving.I want to make a dungeon crawler with some sort of narrative, that's about all I know for certain. Which would you rather play? A typical first person blobber where you walk down passages and encounter random enemies between story locations (1), or something that's closer to a point and click tabletop game where every room is individually designed with predetermined NPC/enemy locations and loot, but your actions as a player influence the story (2).Please help.
Asked by some anon, you can pass dialogue by pressing enter. Do the symbol on the button is clear enough?
>>499882252Damn this had me on edge lel >>499894481This your game? Looks like a game I played in the past.>>499895274So in a case like this do you get the $100 back? Id be seething and take em to small claoms or do a chargeback, not like Im gonna use that account>inb4 anon used his actual steam account and risks losing thousands of dollars of games since steam will probably ban you over a $0.49 chargeback >>499900536Ironic considering dwarf fortress and it's crowd of what I suspect is mostly liberals being rascist towards elves though idk if it's mentioned in game. Might be one of those rules where if your game is popular enough the rule is not applied becaus eof how much money your game brings in. And steam fanboys continue to simp for Gabe lel
>>499924326>what do you dogo back, why the fuck am I in a dungeon when I could be at the tavern charming the cute elfs and shortstacked gobs
About to reorganize my project structure and fix naming conventions, wish me luck guys.
>>499923920>ShapeCast2DRayCast2D and ShapeCast2D are different nodes.>Expected 1 arguments.Looking at the documentation, ShapeCast wants an index. Give it [0] if only the player can interact with it or iterate through each collision you're expecting multiple object to be detected by it.

>>499924597I hope you have version control.
>>499924326Adding token combat to your story game might just make it a chore
>>499924623>insert 0now it works and i can get shot at, thank you :)
>>499909287I can argue that tutorial phase can last a longwhile. You won't learn how to make a save system, options or other advanced tasks just by reading documentation. You need tutorials in the beginning to create a foundation of knowledge. At some point you'll have enough stuff in your toolbox that when you need to make something new, you'll modify something you already have, or kitbash something together
i hecking love lowpoly!
>>499924782>folder named "backup" in project directory>version controlIt's not looking good.
>>499924597oh, oh
>>499924326Impossible to tell, both can be done well or bad. Depends on your storytelling and art abilities. First one would be more tolerant to bad writing/art while second would rely on it more but possibly be more different/novel.Black and white images made me think of this game https://store.steampowered.com/app/1885110/Cryptmaster/

>>499911498I never thought about it but of course you can bake lighting into vertex colors. That is brilliant! It would make it so much easier to go for that Vagrant Story style. Though maybe it would be better to just bake the AO into vertex colors and then use vertex lighting real time in the engine. That might result in a cool style as well.
>>499924009good morning sir

>>>/v/692928306Is this anon also here? If so, what do you mean Godot has a webserver? I've searched around, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

>>499924565>why the fuck am I in a dungeondungeon is a vague term but I was picturing the game exploring an abandoned castle or something like that.

>>499925827Showoff...
>>499924326Love this mockup.Story based games are extremely difficult to make. You need to make so much story content for the game to have any playtime and most people will just skip it.If you're into blobbers it's probably better to make a traditional blobber with some light story elements. Handcrafting all those dungeon floors for a blobber is still viable and you can spread out the story throughout the dungeon. It should be decently easy to pad out the playtime with combat in a blobber.Overall try to keep it short and small scoped with simple mechanics or you will never finish anything. Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LpXBRAR0ZE it could be helpful

>>499928063I'm not madodev, but I can tell you why Ero Dungeon was a success. He made a good, fun game that people wanted to play, and it was a good, fun game because it was a clone of a well-known existing good, fun game. Stop trying to make something original. Stop trying to make something "soulful". Paying customers don't want that.

You need to make so much story content for the game to have any playtime and most people will just skip it.>Overall try to keep it short and small scoped with simple mechanics or you will never finish anythingI didn't want to invoke this game's name because it usually derails conversation, but ideally I'd like to make something like Undertale where's there's at least two clearly defined story paths (ie. peaceful and genocide in that game) that have dramatically different ways of interacting with the game's limited content. That way players have a reason to replay the game and see the content they otherwise missed, at least in theory.>>499928058My weeb friend recommended it to me because he said it reminded him of my drawings. It's barely playable in English, I think it was translated using Google translate.
>>499929246Things are truly bad when you wish a general had more tripfags so you could filter them. But yeah I have to agree, I wish he and many others would use them.

>>499928154CG Axis. they're supposed to be paid but you can just download the textures straight from the site. they're all at least 1200x1200. I just take the diffuse / emission and the ambient occlusion image, then combine as two layers in photoshop (set to Multiply on the AO), merge layers and wa lathey have a lot of good stuff since a lot of them aren't fully realistic, ie there's textures for shit like zombie skin, guts, scales etc, compared to something like ambientCG which is more basic stuff like wood, rocks etc https://cgaxis.com/if you're on chrome and don't already have Internet Download Manager just use one of these extensions to turn .webp files into .pngshttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/save-image-as-type/gabfmnliflodkdafenbcpjdlppllnemd?pli=1https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/image-downloader-imageye/agionbommeaifngbhincahgmoflcikhm

>>499929923gomen i came early
>>499930054For the future I'd reccomend you turn your trip off when you make the thread because it can trigger meltdowns and derail everything from the beginning.
>>499928058Apparently they have a machine translation and the proper English translation is being worked on.>>499929393I haven't played Undertale so I can't comment on that.If you have a good idea on how to differentiate the gameplay then you could try it. I don't think blobbers have done much on that front. I haven't played them that much but the ones I have are pretty much just dungeon crawling and killing with maybe some light story elements. Maybe the (2) approach would work better on what you have in mind. When in doubt you gotta prototype but prototyping story related gameplay is uhh... difficult.
>>499929994I have never replied to Alicefag and I try to avoid the others that I recognize. There's simply too many of them.
