neetdevs whats your plan if you dont make it within the next 4 years? im 2 years into neetdevving and its not cute anymore so i decided to go back to school and grab some certs.

when nortubel dropped this artwork what was your reaction?
>>500106352What even is Nortubel going for? The gameplay looks like some early Windows Chip's Challenge type of puzzler but then the graphics are MSPaint shotacon porn?

Fygooniverse update: here's a village.
>>500106913crab
>>500107101I'd live there, looks comfy
>>500106675Make sure to avoid the cardinal sin of nurogues like tome and DCSS where every enemy is dealt with the exact same and are just resistance checks and make sure they all do something neat and have to be treated in a special way like in nethack.
>>500107198post game
>>500107101not gonna lie, this looks really bad
>>500106913Thanks anon, getting a little better feel for it every day.
>>500105550No 2D art skills. If I had a wife like Nemlei I'd make 2D games too, but I don't, so 3D it is for me.
>>500107347random question but what resolution are your sprites? Is that the size you plan on them staying at?
>>500107341making a good looking urban environment is hard
wait fagoon is using unreal? hes really doing it a disservice
>>500107304>Make sure to avoid the cardinal sin of nurogues like tome and DCSS where every enemy is dealt with the exact same and are just resistance checks and make sure they all do something neat and have to be treated in a special way like in nethack.I'll look into these for references to understand better what you mean, thanks for the suggestion
>>500105280neetdev hereI'm at the starting stages of understanding C#. My game will more than likely be created in Unity. But I will try using Godot first because -- well, fuck man -- it's free and no string attached.
>>500106038bro, pretty sure I recognize that melody.Sounds a lot like Final fantasy melodies.Since uematsu biggest influence were prog rock bands, you could start with tarkus I think.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBA4ZJkhjVswatch this.
>>500105728You can't actually do that because you need to be alive to patch and bugfix after release.
>>50010745816x16 right now, I might go to 32x32 down the line, but my art skills need a lot more training before then.
can ai do this? no? then not interested
>>500106154but YouTube e-celebs tell me my mesh will explode in unity if i don't
>>500107819Something I learned with pixel art is there is a bell curve of skill tied to amount of pixels. 32x32 is a good middle ground for skill level but 16x16 and 64x64 require more skill for various reasons.
>>500108073most painters handle n-gons and quads fine ymmv, even then you're fine to triangulate it before hand because the UV will remain the same anyways, just keep the model in your DCC as it is and export as triangles if you want to (just don't destructively overwrite it)
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: You get to meet Tfoorie in person.>>500106467I once thought of a mix of Chip's Challenge and Binary Land as a potential Nort spin-off.Nortubel is mainly about the older sibling telling the younger one where to go and the option for the other to be playable was done in case the order mechanics get a bit complicated.If I had to explain Nortubel as simply as possible:>Excuse to show a variety of OC's, with a "crossover" gimmick since they copy different things >Mainly focused on these 6 characters >Companion focus with some other things in levels One half OC showcase, another half newbie gamedev journey where I got too ambitious for my first game but most things managed to stick out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B1rSn-4Wv8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pp1LbQ2urgBut if I finish this game, it'll get more confusing because I always imagined a series where games are different enough to feel like different franchises.
>>500108212Interesting. I might experiment with 32x32 at some point soon then.
>>500105280I don't really have a plan, beg for a tech job. I have a degree just not a great one. pray for me, I make a bit of money from gamedev but not a lot yet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zc7kavNEnQWhat kind of AI is used to make this muzak?
>>500108561I'd give it a go. 16x is tough for detailing and animations are simple. 32x is good for both. 64x is great for detail but animations are much harder
>>500108635suno or udio i guess

How does Unreal's CMC compare to Zelda BOTW's character controller? Can it traverse awkward geometry just as well as BOTW's?

my blender career feels over because i'm lacking the loop tools circle feature due to using an older version :( i don't wanna have to do all that manually
>>500110896like if I put a random house asset with complex collision (like the one in pic related) into a starter Unreal project, will I be able to move on that house with no issues, jank or weirdness?
>>500111224
>>500107727as I suggested before, I've been through what you are doing right now.It is not as efficient as starting and 'just make game'.If you're completely new to programming, just go through the w3schools C# write up and a DS && Algos W3 Schools write up.Rest is learn as you go according to your needs. Check your work with the profiler and algorithmic analysis.

The response I get may influence my decision. Otherwise I'll probably need to get a job within the next 6 months. I intend to keep a watchful eye on stocks as my alternative method for making it.
>be me>try to texture paint in blender>hiding faces does not work in texture paint view>blender crashes in the middle of texturing, and the image isn't savedi can't believe it's men's fault that i'm going through all of this right now, but it really is, at least i got some of the facial features on, but idk how i'm going to do the hair when it's on the same geometry, and apparently the thing that hiding faces would be specifically useful for can't be done with the feature because the hidden faces pop back up.... what was even the point of that, my disappointment and confusion can't be overstated
My target audience? People who like my game and will pay full price for it and clown, shortstack, shut-in, and goth fangirls. It is imperative my game succeeds.
>>500117447Btw, $500k is all I need to not go back to the wagecage. That much and I can remain a neet.

>>500117253apparently this may be solved by a texture mask feature, but like, what the heck? i should be able to hide faces and paint like normal, not learn an entire feature over a weird design choice while i'm literally in the middle of trying to finish my characterhow am i supposed to maintain a flow state under these conditions

Though I do suspect there is some sort negative branding that happens specifically with /agdg/ and potentially other places on 4chan ie the /v/ version of /agdg/ and I mean this even if you were posting back in 2017. I can't explain the specifics but I have noticed this. I won't go into detail since I already know the answer and I don't need some freaking youtube gamedev grifter lurking here and running off with this to share to everyone. If it wasn't for gamedev grifters I wouldn't be so hesitant on gatekeeping this kind of stuff.
it's over
>>500111630this nigga wants the method
>>500121032My idea is that the MC reincarnates in the world and he's the God SUN male of that world.But he only reincarnates at the end of each calendar cycle, just before the apocalypsis ends.He's the only male on that world, and all the beings in that planet are female.The females reproduce using a system similar to our ants and bees, where there's a queen who uses the Sun magical energy to become pregnant so the can give birth to thousands of normal girls.The demons are the result of the dark Sun evil energy and spawn when there's too much of his dark energy.The plot is basically the MC has to gather the 10 crystals, which are needed to unlock a weapon to destroy the seal that defends the demon floating invisible island.Hero then go and fight the demon queens, and then the island falls, and starts the end of the world which is a massive chain of volcano eruptions.The towns use then magical barriers to protect them from the danger.Hero then is crowned the father and king of the new world.

>>500123510It's called references.
make progress on game or do pointless animations for fun that aren't going to be used?
>>500118574Keep up the good work mate. I've played with multithreading for chunk generation/rendering tasks in the past before moving most of those processes to shader code. It's all about book keeping(prevent threads from fighting/idling/leaking) which was just peachy given that paging is already discrete. God bless you.

>>500123172i agree, references are important, but so is using your imagination, if you only use references, especially for animation, you lose a lot of what makes animations charming. people tend to not exaggerate motions anymore, barely use blurs as beginners, or just stick to what is only possible in reality. the important thing is imo to not rely on them, but just use them as a reference (ahaha..), especially if you want to animate more complicated actions like fencing, dancing or acrobatics

Goals:>2 hours dev time daily>Reset sleep hoursThat's it for now as much as I'd like to increase my dev time, attempting to do both that and reset my sleep schedule will likely result in failure. I intend to fix my sleep schedule within 2 weeks times. From it's current range of 3:00-4:30am down to a range of 11:00-12:30pm. Oh and my dev time is all over the place of recently so I'm not even averaging 2 hours daily anymore. Though it looks like I'll hit that today. Goal for now is to get the 2 hours in minimum daily and earlier in the day and have the PC off by 1 am and in bed no later than 1:45 am.

>>500129107Because most people play those games because pvp is fun. Making a fully functional online game as an indie is difficult. In addition, people aren't going to play a pvp game unless its popular because they don't want to sit in queues all day. A small dev team is unlikely to have the advertisement budget to get enough of an audience to play the game that it would self sustain and grow larger. The exception to this is VR fps'. It's a limited size audience and a newer medium with not much to choose from, so having a well made indie fps gain popularity is easier.
Trying to come up with a name for my prototype. It's a survivor-like / tower defense where control an invincible knight. Any ideas?

>start making autistic warehouse game>lose the whole thing because hard drive died and no backupshttps://youtu.be/2hphvEaW00Uhttps://youtu.be/0PTjqBeEkjwNow I'm thinking about applying the box packing/fulfillment aspect in to a Stardew Valley type casual RPG with a shipping&receiving flavor rather than farming
>>500128236Is this really a problem?
Today I would post and make progress, but instead i will edit a video for my favorite group's fan account. I consider this a huge progress for the day.

>>500130231bro why didnt you use git
It's very tiring to spend 16 hours doing a drawing and then only reading that is shit, it sucks, and that I should go back and read loomis again.
>>500130231you need a bucket full of flashdrives
why is designing clothes/armor/gear/accessories for female characters so impossible??i wish i had a female dev friend that could helpo me here...
>>500131582I need a female dev gf that lets me feel her boobas to make sure i can model my modelgnghhh nghhhh booba snhhghhn
>>500131507It be like that. It wouldn't be as bad if you were capable of taking feedback, learning, and improving.
>>500131437I'm tarded>>500131512That would be better suited to my abilitiesI think it works out for the better, I think the game has a lot more potential as a Stardew Valley like
>>500131507don't read loomis, draw 1:1 copies of every drawing in 'figure drawing for all it's worth'after every 10 copies you should draw your own(using photo reference)
>>500131665There´s not much that can be improved when you mention you suck without a better more technical description of the issue.>>500131703I have come to the conclusion of not rellying on my own sketches but photo and reference photobashing.
stop overthinking motivation. focus more on figuring out the next small step to do on your game. i promise you, i you are able to figure out the next small step you'll naturally do that step without needing motivation.but that small step wont just come to your mind out of nowhere, you have to pay attention to identify it in your game.e.g. right now i don't even know what to work on next, ofc i have a big picture in mind, but i have no clear small next goal which i can act on. you really have to identify those over and over.
>>500131805if only it were so simple...
>>500131802>photo and reference photobashing.good, that's what the pros do.
how often do you refactor your code?I''ve only been working on my game for 3 days but I already feel like the code was built with plaster and adhesive tape since my problem solving is just throwing shit at wall until it works
the "cris" character has to be a elaborate decade long ruse no?
>>500131802I think you regularly get plenty of technical advice, some good and some bad. If your IQ is as high as you say it is, you should be capable of filtering out the good from the bad, but you're not. My advice is still the same: your form/figure is bad because it's a stylization of a stylization. Do you even sketch and draw guide lines? I've never seen you do it. It feels like you always go straight into a render.
>>500131850try it. instead of thinking about the big picture. try to identify the next practical thing you can actually do. like a goal that you can define. but it has to be small. small enough so that it's clear what you have exactly to do.
>>500132238We have many cris-like characters (beginner's hell artlets). Cris is just the most infamous because he's the most arrogant and shitposts the most.
>>500104536anyone have the sakurai with lightning meme? I need it to shitpost in another thread immedaitely desu
>>500132276why do you assume I did not study and read books on how to draw?I did that between 2005-20014.

>>500104802gaben is jewish and like all jews feels a complex series of hatred for jews for stealing his foreskin and fear of being found out by goys for stealing their foreskin
>>500132534Why do you assume that just because you went though some exercises that you learned anything? Why would those exercise make you any better if you're not applying any of it your non-exercise art?
you need to start hating the doomer in you. you need to realize it's not helping you, it's actually sabotaging your life. you have to stop treating your inner doomer like a friend who's understanding you and your troubles. it's more like an evil creature who sees you suffer and talks you into suicide because it thinks it's fun to see you suffer.
>>500132732my issue is that I did mostly imagination works, and almost no reference works for basically 17 years.
Riveting gameplay.added actions on turn start for cards and events. meaning they can now forcible manipulate the board i guess.. also added a plethora of other small features, but they honestly suckthis is my shittiest attempt at a game so far, its not even unique. the more i look at it, the more i hate it, its also plastered with weird ui bugs. not only do i have nothing for dd, i just wasted another month of my uninspired life
>>500132881Okay, so throw it all away and relearn.
>>500132881
>>500132958I think it looks cool
Something happened to me recently after going back to school which forced me off of gamedev this month. My desire to game or even make games has waned. Well, if i had a choice between school/work i would game but I think my tastes shifted.Now that I'm stressed all the time I no longer want to play stressful games like FPS or action games. I just want a beautiful world to relax in but also have some combat and exploration to get away from all the irl.I don't want to abandon gamedev because i invested thousands of hours and multiple years learning it. Not only this but as I get older I become less amused with random game ideas. I'm creatively and motivatingly bankrupt for now.
Shanghai Gold - Post convention reflectionI demoed the game over the weekend at my city's annual general nerd/pop culture convention. I did the same at last years one. I really grinded to get in new features till the very last minute, such as adding a dual wielding powerup, a tutorial level, overhaul of nightclub, new weapon sounds and vfx, a time trial counter, and a sublevel culling system. I actually made bug fixes and tweaks throughout the convention, such as changing parts of the tutorial that were unnecessary, tweaking lighting and enemy placement etc. It was super cool to have bugs fixed and immediately tested with whoever came to play next.Feedback on the game has also improved a lot. There are people now asking when they can buy the game. People even praise the graphics which is kind of shocking. It is also visually a lot more playable, with the majority of players playing all the way through the tutorial and demoed nightclub level and less people getting lost or confused in the map. When players die, they often just play again instead of quitting the game. Returning players are also a good sign. The games mechanics are definitely at a good place now, so I need to start thinking about the future of the game. Getting more levels made, marketing material, maybe publishers. I've had a few recommendations for doing an early access model too.It's weird, because I always think of the game as being pre-pre-pre alpha, but probably every developer thinks that way.
>>500132958nice style and art, you even have the art faggot depression, keep going
>>500133021No, I just need to learn to use reference.
>>500133340I definitely recommend these types of events for demoing. It's not really about sales, but it's really useful to get dozens of people who aren't necessarily hardcore gamers to play and give feedback. I want to do the same convention again next year, but prepare properly, with posters and maybe two setups. I said that last year, but the time went too quickly.
>>500133259so quit and stop spamming into /agdg/ that you are a nodev. holy shit man it's GAME DEVELOPMENT thread and not "I DONT WANT TO MAKE A GAME" general
>>500133807All those years and all nighters though, gone to waste..
>>500133476you need to read anatomy books not just look at the pictures in the books.you need to stop trying to render and focus on the foundations that make rendering possible.and you should at least know by heart all the relative proportions of the body.

Project FAC progress report:16h 40m worked so far. It's going slower than expected. Building upon an existing game with very similar mechanics isn't that much of a time saver. Or my mental capacities have significantly deteriorated in the past 5 years.Project summary: an offshoot/sequel/extension of one of my existing games. The current goal is to get it to prototype stage to see if it's fun and satisfying while investing minimum work.

okay... I'm gonna analyze what my game needs, on a small picture and break it into one thing at a time... instead of imagining my game finished and with hundreds of people playing it...okay, my character script needs the ability to pick up and carry nodes that I designate to be pickupable...
>>500136115>>popular
>>500135318google is actively making its own results worse to drive people towards using ai, it's pretty obvious
>>500136115Yeah, they are. Those are just the ones off the top of my head, there are hundreds more. Many of those games have literally millions of sales.
>>500136350No, they are trying to drive people to spend more time googling, which is a pretty retarded idea obviously but nonetheless.https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/And yes they will lose 98% of their users to AI in the next 10 years.

>>500129864I'm also working on a cafe simulator for a client, but more focused on hand rehabilitation for burn victims (this is in VR).The ice flake icon is a little non-diegetic. I was also thinking about how I would show hot food vs cold food, and the idea I had was little wisps of steam (using particles) above hot food. Depends on your use case, but the ice flakes feel a little bit too arcadey.
>>500139779that's really coolI've done a lot of VR work, how did you get into working on something like that? I like the idea of games acting as rehabilitation tools
>have an idea>it requires ui design>all work on the idea stopsevery time
>>500139779yeah I really dislike the icon too but it isnt a priority for nowI have the tools to make it VR too since even the inventory already works as floating items so maybe I'll implement it but way more in the future

>>500133340Don't overvalue the reaction you get in these events. I've been to some and they don't reflect your game's real world performance one bit.

>>500143152>>500144157Oh, that's okay then. It's no different than asking AI to make 100x100 pixel icons for your UI, or asking about the color scheme for your characters. At low budget the alternative is having no voice acting at all.

>>500145880Yeah I wanted to write "or use a typewriter effect like Undertale" but then I thought can that really be considered voice-acting? It's close to the field of sound effects.

>>500144841>umm excuse me chud, but i'm trans and i worked very hard to voice at my entire game with the help of some touch up softwareit's that easy
>>500144841Gamers simply don't understand how much game dev stuff costs. Imagine having $40 to your name and getting slammed because you couldn't afford a $700 VA to record some lines, I'd be sad.
>>500141103your schizo rant aside, Google is not enshittening its search results because of m-muh woke ideology. and movies and games aren't shit because of woke ideology. it's just that it's very hard to create a market leading product and failure is the default outcome. all companies and franchises eventually fail and fade out and it's not because of wokeness, not even as a contributing cause.
>>500146968this, no one's willing to blow $700 so some retard can mumble in the mic just to appease a group of people who don't even really play videogames
>>500146968I agree. Especially because no matter who says what, video games are primarily a visual medium. While sound is important, the visible assets take priority. Which already not cheap unless you do everything yourself. People are going to look at some screenshots before even thinking about giving any footage a try.

>>500146968Yeah gamers are delusional when it comes to anything related to game development. They think the only reason solo devs can't make AAA quality games for free in a reasonable amount of time is because they're lazy or greedy. How often do /v/tards call 2d indie devs lazy for not having graphics on par with Metal Slug? Delusional.
>>500147060>Google is not enshittening its search results because of m-muh woke ideologyThere's nothing a leftoid hates more than someone pointing out that their beliefs exist as a set of interrelated and interdependent ideas.

I have been trying to learn coding for the past month araubd a hour or 2 a day and i still cant do it.I cant even make pong...Is it over?Do i not have enought Intelligence points to learn this skill?

Can someone make an AI voice of Ronald Regan saying >"I'm proud of you anon your games are not a waste of time, you're GMI if you keep at it, I'd be proud to call you son"?
>>500148065>why should I pay for yours?But you already dont want to pay and simply want to pirate it because $14.99 is too much. Why should I listen to you mr. salty artist/va losing their livelihood wuole pretending to be a starving artist. Now you can actually live out the fantasy of being a literal starving artist. Make sure you get a job at mcdonalds i like my fries salty.>>500149132Yes if you know how to use it right. My game doesnt have voice acting so i have no reason to bother.
>>500147834If I had a high player count like that Id outright ban this guy from my steam forums. Whats he gonna do? Not like hes going to get 40k people to quit my game

I wonder if he just didn't market it at all. Also I guess there was a potential issue with the linux release, but overall this game looked pretty good from an artistic sense. I mean I find this genre and tone annoying, but it seems overall popular. I wonder if the game play was just really bad.

>>500147834the business of the arts has always been convincing people to pay you for something that is ultimately needlessso these second order people who have piggybacked on others doing the hardwork of convincing suddenly getting elbowed out by AI and getting mad and ludditey makes sense on an emotional level.......on a business level fuck them, if youre an actual artist youll stop bitching and start convincing your own audience to pay you instead of riding others coattails

>>500141460Yeah, this has massive "I was asleep when they announced the awards!" energy. What a fag.
remember to always ask the random nodev anon on /agdg/ before using ai. your decisions in life should be built around what angry trannies think
How did you guys learn programming?Did you go to school for it?Did online tutorials actually work for you?Did you just smash your head against the keyboard until you eventually menaged to make a game by accident?
>>500151948>Did you just smash your head against the keyboard until you eventually menaged to make a game by accident?This.
>>500151686You can use AI if you are actually using it for assets in your game. The pushback on AI here is because there a lot of shitposters who do nothing but spam some deformed AI "art" just to be annoying.
>learning programming is the same as learning artpost your 1ma game or shut the fuck up
>>500151948>Follow tutorials for months>Never quite get it>Finally actually set goals on a project>Start to come togetherApply what you are learning to something you are trying to make or it won't stick.
>>500152020>The pushback on AI hereit's literally just one bitter shitposter nodev lol
>>500151948I've been programming since middle school. Elementary school if you include HTML webpages.
>>500151948NEET compsci dropout...
>>500152424not to mention she's both an XX woman and a nigger, so double retarded
>>500151948Even the dudes who went to elite schools for comp science, I feel like most of them just learned on their own. If you need a school to teach you programming, you're not going to make it. Just open your fucking computer and start. And ya, maybe university can help round some edges, go deep in a few areas that maybe are hard for a solo dev, but you should be able to get pretty fucking far just with youtube, leet code, forums, books. "but lol I need a prof to assign work to motivate me." Sorry but you're going to be absolutely shit at programming.
>>500152424*sigh*games?
>>500152549>she's both an XX woman and a niggerFr?Whats her discord?
>>500149559>i started this journey like a month or two ago, and now i really can make pc/ps1 style low polyKudos for actually posting. You are doing okay for 2 months anon. Keep up the fight.
>>500152549>angry female black artistwhy is she even here?if u want pity point just go to X
>>500152424No there's more than one of us. The pushback is because people come into the thread and post shitty AI art, acting like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and they can't possibly make a game without it and how DARE you suggest otherwise, all the while the AI posters still don't have a game. There have been some games posted with AI by reasonable people and they don't get shat on, only the folks who keep pushing it like a bunch of Pajeets trying to get that trickle-down wealth from Silicon Valley.
>>500149968it's not the one i'm currently working on, so it's okay lol>>50014998lol
>>500149559I love your style it really reminds me of those unity online games from back in the day i would play on the school computers.
>>500152870>There have been some games posted with AI by reasonable people and they don't get shat on, only the folks who keep pushing it like a bunch of Pajeets trying to get that trickle-down wealth from Silicon Valley.Name those gemes?
no, *I* am femcris.not this… interloper.
>>500151948Never went to school. Tutorials helped a lot. Though I guess I always learned better doing than by reading. Of course not all tutorials are equal, some are awesome, some just hinder you. You really start once you begin to think for yourself, and build stuff on your own. The hardest part is constantly learning new stuff to become more and more efficient. Also learning to document for yourself inside of the code. Comments are key.I guess it is worth mentioning that with modern systems being so strong, I don't have to worry about memory allocation, and I can program solutions with almost no performance drop that would have definitely killed a PC in the 90s.I would never be allowed to make programs for serious software engineering, but who cares.
>>500152870>we shit on AI because of a few retards>we're the good guysYour kind is as annoying as the AI spammers. Just do like fucking everyone and ignore or filter them if you hate it that much.You are both shitting up the thread.

I want to get a tripcode so im mire recognizable but also i dont want to get filtered hmmm...Maybe i should watermark all the images i post in the thread or something.
>>500152870So are you gonna name those "games with AI made by reasonable people" or not?
>>500152701There's way more to university than just classes. It's the friends you make along the way. It's having access to personal tutors who are far more experienced than you are, who are actually paid to put up with your dumb ass while you're still learning. It's the recruiters that show up and hand out jobs like free candy.A big part of learning from classes/courses is that it provides you with reasonably scoped tasks to do. Sure, you can try to come up with these tasks yourself, but odds are, you're not smart enough to know what even is the right thing to do in the first place.
>>500153274See >>500153232 and apologize for your impatience.
>>500153232>There was also that one Slay The Spire like about internet arguments that used AI art for portraits./agdg/ shidded on it for that.
>>500153259why not just post game
my game is shit and i’ve barely made progress in 6 months. but i still might submit to demo day for attention anyway.waaow… gamedev is such a lonely hobby
I AI generated all the dialogue in my game and only slightly changed it and noone here was able to tell it was AI.
>>500153507That's unfortunate. I thought the portraits worked well with the style they were going for. Thanks for the correction- can't really defend the extremes here then.
>>500153437I literally said there is value to university. What is your fucking problem.
>>500153638>I AI generated all the dialogue in my game>nooneThat's probably a good thing
>>500151306I'm honestly starting to believing Indians are getting bad rap for AI. It seems to be mostly south American thirdies like cris and his ilk who believe it's a magic tool that will free them from poverty.

>>500153627Indie game dev only works if you're already fine with being alone. If you think your game is going to give you status or friends or anything, you're in the wrong hobby. At BEST, you can get a lot of cash, but you'll still be seen as a fucking dork/nerd and no one will respect you. You think people respect Notch? No, they look at him as some nerd who got lucky and is rich, but they don't respect him for having built Minecraft. No one's even heard of the Stardew guy, you can't name drop him anywhere, and he's probably the second biggest name in game dev. There is no fame, no recognition, no glory to be had here.
>>500154150Based fairyschizo, glad to see you're still alive
>>500154047Oh really, it's not good to have other people view your code (round out the edges) or deep dive into areas difficult for a solo dev? You're a fucking retard. Also I didn't put a fucking cap on how useful it is, the point of my post was to start now. Get good now. There's no excuse. There are more resources now than ever before freely available to even children. But you didn't understand the overall purpose of the post because you have low reading comprehension and just want your fucking internet points.
>>500154174people liked notch until he said like one or two transphobic things,
>>500153846sure
>>500154113>>just let people make cursed ai slop that they intend to sell to innocent customers>innocent customers who constantly try to cheapskate you, pirate your game and who shit on it for having bad voice acting even if it was done by real people
>>500154174The glory comes from success. From building your own kingdom. Also more people probably know Eric, or Tim Cain, then some random genius google dev who made an infrastructure we all use on our smart phone or computer. So who gives a fuck if we aren't a rockstar. As far as being a dork or nerd, that is imo not really related to game dev. That's more a philosophical choice and failing of western education moreso than any innate quality of game dev.
>>500154150I've never been more convinced that a game was made by a tranny.
>>500154321>the best way to combat piracy is to give up on making a good gametrue lol
>>500149857tell me more please
Just need to keep working til DD59...
>>500154415I'd agree with that, except for the Eric/Tim Cain because no one knows who they are. Internal glory is fine, but gamedev is always going to be a lonely hobby and it's not going to be less lonely at any point. Even if you get successful, you'll just be surrounded by sycophants and still be just as lonely, if not more. And gamedev "communities" are basically non-existent compared to other hobbies. If OP wanted to be less lonely, I think he should find a more sociable hobby. For me, I plan to be eternally alone in a proverbial fortress of solitude as people try to grab onto my coattails to go where I'm going, but I'm not looking for friends.
Why am i still tired no matter how much i sleep.
>>500154257>other people view your codeProfessors and TAs are generally useless retards. "Those who can't do, teach" after all. You don't learn how to properly code until you get an industry job where your tech lead who's actually competent starts to pick part your trash, or real technical requirements force you to write clean code.>deep diveYou shouldn't be doing this as a solodev. The most you can get out of academia is shit like "here's a new spatial partitioning algorithm with 7% improved performance in this one case and 20% worse in all others". As a solodev, you should be focusing on whatever you can get just working as fast as possible.>"but lol I need a prof to assign work to motivate me."This is literally one of the best things for you. You need deadlines, and you need assignments. You think you're above needing external motivators, but that's just cope and fear of failure.
>>500154708Well right, I wouldn't look to game dev for community. If you want community just get a local hobby. Rock climbing, bjj, judo, hiking, bike groups, church. There's shit to do where you can hang around people. And ya, developing isn't really going to help with that. The hope is that you make enough money so that you have more time to hang around.

>>500156851nazis... nazis never change...
>>500156897Yeah I really like it. The face is a little too low but it's still cool and I like posting it because of how neat it is.
>>500151948I got into a cs degree, had no problem with the practical courses but flunked out of the theory based ones because I couldn't be arsed to attend lectures. A year later switched to a webdev degree which was for-retards difficulty so I basically showed up on exam day and completed the courses that way. Overall I wasted a lot of years but it did get me started on programming which is alright. I like tutorials for getting introduced to a new concept, especially with engine features that I'm not familiar with. On occasion you come across some giga brain programmer dude writing some good code in his tutorials which can be a nice learning opportunity if you apply those practices in your own stuff. I suck at designing the codebase it is something that school failed to teach me or it wasn't part of the curriculum for some fucking reason so most that I do happens by hammering my head on the keyboard until I have a spaghetti mess that works. Maybe some day I'll go through the trouble of learning to plan first and code after.
>>500156650I am a reaction to the nonsense those losers get up to. There's nothing a hypocrite hates more than looking into a mirror (or Looking Glass if you will lol)
>>500157060I'm not familiar with the voice side of things so I can't really help you there
Are there any good libraries for "fake" console programming with C/C++? I see libtcod but it seems more focused towards roguelikes than what I want to use it for.
>>500157423>it is something that school failed to teach me or it wasn't part of the curriculum for some fucking reasonYes and no. Most CS programs should have a course or two on software architecture but ultimately hands-on experience is the best teacher. YAGNI ain't something you can teach in a classroom setting.
>>500154174This. The only reason these people are not making a band in a garage, trying to get Rockstar Famous, because they don't have friends or can play an instrument. Otherwise just as much of a pipe dream. This isn't crabbing, this is the truth. You are playing a lottery if fame and fortune are your goals.

>>500151653not using a tool for "ethical reasons" os actually soulless
>>500157587And that's exactly why I used AI for that. I can't get outside help on that.
youtube tutorials just don't do it for me anymore...I've escalated to downloading github projects and reading through their source code...

Would I be a fool to actually enter into some university game development course? The more I commit myself to learning how to do it the more I think I should just go all the way and learn it full time instead of just trying to teach myself with resources online and in textbooks. I feel like if it were any other kind of skill that I had an interest in learning I'd be a lot more willing to enter a course for it, but it being videogames there's something that makes hesitate. I don't know if I just don't have faith in what I'd learn there or if I feel self-conscious about it, but I find myself hesitating even with it being something I have an interest in educating myself in.
why does aliceposter get banned but bocchiposter doesn't
>>500159504It's the yesdev dance of choice.
>>500132958This looks cool. Don't stop. It's easy to feel like a fraud when you're making stuff inspired by other stuff, except that's pretty much all anybody does.I like these kinds of card games but I assume they're really hard to implement.
>>500159713Stop ban evading.
>>500159732It's worth it if you're going to a major university, with noteworthy alumni who have industry jobs and an active recruiting scene. Otherwise, it's a scam.
>>500158797lol alice poster didn't make the alice 3d model, but he could've made one, he just makes dragons instead
>>500158797Look up Marmoreal.It was made by the Bocchi poster.
i just thought of a new technique and now i feel like abandoning my current 3d model for a new one
>gorespammer disappears>"different" ban-evading spammer appearshmmmm......
"balance" aka getting decision paralysis to implement anythingfuck balance man, if something is really broken i can patch it out
>>500159559Well you spoke of "AI alternatives" so that's why I said that. But yes the primary reason why I use AI voicing is because I have no money, and also I think many voice actors would decline voicing a lot of dialogue in my game. Either I lie to them about the nature of the role and present them with an unpleasant surprise, or they reject immediately. Both aren't very good for me.
>>500160286Non-competitive games do not need to be balanced.
>>500158548That's hilarious. You should probably know though, a lot of code is the way it is because of trade offs, being rushed, ignorance. Just because some smart dev did something doesn't mean it's good.
>Alice poster 3D modelThere was one?

>>500161170>3d assets>top down 2d zeldalike anywaylol, at least it's not a side scrolling platformer, but zelda already exists and idk who'd want to play the top down games over ocarina of time or botw
>>500132958the game doesnt look fun i agree but the style is so good that i dont think you should quit, keep working the problem and dont forget to play other fun games to get ideas. put original in the bin, find something you wanted to love and make it great.

>>500147834>see something in a game you don't agree with or find unethical>don't play it / refund itwhat's the problem here exactly? They are literally voting with their wallet. Anyone who doesn't care about AI shit will just ignore these reviews.

>>500159732>The more I commit myself to learning how to do it the more I think I should just go all the way and learn it full time instead of just trying to teach myself with resources online and in textbooks.I had a friend who actually works in the industry as a TA once tell me the following, and it really soured my already lackluster opinion of game development colleges:>At law firms, there are premiere law schools that everyone wants to hire from.>In architecture offices, there are premiere architecture schools that everyone wants to hire from.>In finance, there are premiere financial schools that everyone wants to hire from.>There is no premiere game development school because no studio takes them seriously.You will learn things going to school for game development, but compared to what you'll be able to learn teaching yourself and the return you will get out of your investment it won't be worth it. The majority of these programs are designed to appeal to the dreams and aspirations of retarded kids coming out of high school and take their money.
>tfw wasted my entire weekend messing around with Donkey Kong Country trying to replace the sprites with anime girls but the way that the engine assembles the sprites means that my pre-rendered anime girl has to be the exact and location at all times as the original sprite.suffering. even tried using a disassembly and reaching out to a pro rom hacker but he said im SOL. back to working on my game...

>>500161170>>500161386>>500161635A Zelda-clone could do well if the execution was good. It needs to be at least competitive with the pre-BotW Zeldas in terms of content, meaning 8+ boss fights, 4+ major puzzle dungeons, and 20-40 hours playtime. Meanwhile:>Shalnor Legends: Sacred Lands>Average playtime: 6.8h>Review score: 69%>Shalnor Legends 2: Trials of Thunder>Average playtime: 5.8h>Review score: 75%You can't expect to sell "old-Zelda, but worse".
>>500161779A lot of people don't know they are NPC's. They go to these schools because they think they'll somehow transform into non npc's. But they'll always be NPC's. You can kinda teach people polish, what's expected of a good game. But you can't teach someone how to make a good game. It's like teaching someone how to be a rockstar. As far as attaining skills to work for a game company just learn a bunch of math and programming so that you can build whatever your boss tells you to build.
>>500159732i went to school for 3d modelling and it was helpful to get me through the intro stuff that i was constantly putting off learning because its too hard. its definitely a place you go to to show off your skills that you already know rather then going to actually learn especically if youre going there for a job you should already be at least 9/10 amazing and just go there to show off to the teachers and hope one of them know a company that needs work done.
>>500161596don't touch the actual console unless it's purely a hobbyist project, not suitable for distribution, only actual nerds use stuff like conemu for a tolerable console experience on windows
>>500146653>>500146332>>500144717>>500144504>>500144504as someone planning AI voices for my game i dont get this work ethic attitude. the only thing you can steal with AI voice acting is vocal chords someone else was born with IE they didn't earn. At best I am downloading a violin, not the skills of a violin, and even then it's an emulated/electric violin not an acoustic violin. I can only imagine the complete apathy VAs had for violin makers after yamaha chips put most of them out of business.I'm still doing all of the actual acting, which means if the acting sucks its because I suck. if you want me to pay voice actors you have to be one of the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet. Voice acting is known to bankrupt actually great games with excellent charming gameplay and story. It amazes me what seiyuu autism has done to some niche titles that could be as big as cave story in japan.
>>500161170Why do so many indie devs keep cloning Zelda likes? I dont think I've ever seen one succeed. Why create clones in a market where the original product is satisfying its demographic. Nobody plays a Link To The Past and says Damn I wish that had a retarded fag anime goblin instead.
>>500161170each failure teach us something
>>500162023And what's funny is that if you tell people you're making a Zelda like they'll be like "nah, doesn't sell. Here's 6 games that tried. And all the games that tried WERE FUCKING STUPID. Same with RTS games on some level. Everyone makes star craft but worse. And then call it a dead genre. But for whatever reason the RTS genre attracks wierdos who never learn. Even if they say "heck ya, I'll not do starcraft but worse!" They in fact make star craft but worse.

>>500162023Do you have any average playtime stats for zelda titles? Otherwise that's a useless comparison. I'd say those playtimes for his games are surprisingly good for how poorly they sold. It means that a significant portion of the people who bought them played a good chunk and the real length of the game should be at least twice that if not more.

it's really simple. you are a gamer, you can program. so you make games. what are you even confused about? what makes you a nodev? just do what you are obviously built for. just make game.there's tech illiterate women being more motivated to make games than you. like wtf man just make a game.there's literally no other job made for you. gamedev is literally your job.

>>500163421here's something to learnyou can give a class apublic delegate void OnValueChanged;public event OnValueChanged onValueChanged;and then e.g.SetAmount(float newAmount) { amount = newAmount;onValueChanged?.Invoke();}other classes can subscribe to it by usingthing.onValueChanged += Thing_OnValueChanged;private void Thing_OnValueChanged(){ Log(thing.amount);}so basically you can "listen" to when the "thing" changed its value.what's also cool:public delegate void OnValueChanged(Thing thing);public static event OnValueChanged onValueChanged;and thenonValueChanged?.Invoke(this);now from other classes you can subscribe to:Thing.onValueChanged += Thing_OnValueChanged;with a function:public void Thing_OnValueChanged(Thing thing){ Log(thing.amount); }so basically if the event is not static, then you are listening to a specific object. if it is static you are basically listening to all objects using the Thing class.this is especially useful e.g. when hooking up value changed to ui updates.e.g. your HealthBarRenderer can hook up to player.onHealthChanged += Player_OnHealthChanged;private void Player_OnHealthChanged(){ healthUI.SetText(player.health);}only make it static when you really want to listen to all objects using the same class. otherwise only listen to the specific object.

TRUTH BOMB: AI is the ultimate blackpill because it makes people realize that they don't have "it".You see some people think that being a creative is easy when it's actually very, very hard and a genetic predisposition just like being a maths genius or a basketball monster, but "society" doesn't want to blackpill normalfags by telling them that so they keep churning slop.You could literally be making masterpieces with AI but the truth is is that it won't happen because most 99.9% of people are creatively bankrupt followers and AI won't help with that.

>>500166082No, I think it's very important context and the reason why almost every indie game releasing is just a rehash of "roguelike", "deckbuilder", "gambling sim", "action rpg", "cozy" games.

"Hey let's slow everything the fuck down, that'll be fun!" Then he went off and made some failure of a game.Point is. People get lucky. They don't have taste, but they make a product that ends up tasteful. Then they try again and make Zelda but worse.
>>500166509I like my artist on the one hand for like, going off on his own to discover better ways to make art for unity. But on the other hand it's like, come on mother fucker, start making some animations! Dude is lucky I'm programming part time so his art is still keeping up, despite me going at a snails pace.

>>500164790There's still people looking for this kind of games, but from what I learn, people wants a cheap game and get achievements, vampire survivors has 2.99 price and always go into discount. Many people making this type of game want to charge above 5 usd and that's too much for the genre.

>>500166626The genre isn't boring at all. TikTok is packed to the brim with fuckers playing A Link To The Past Randomizers. The problem is Nickalodeon art for an Ogre. Ugly art. I'm not even a stickler for art (muh shadows!!!) but it just looked ugly. Non distinct colors, very muddy. And then a lack of good story and content. You don't even really need story, but you need setting.
Yesterday I got my drpg's combat system to now use dynamically created party members instead of the static ones I used earlier. So there's a (extremely basic) guild menu to add units to your party, and go walk around the dungeon with that party and fight stuff. Maybe doesn't sound impressive but it was a lot of work for me to figure out.I want to completely revamp how combat flows because right now it's incredibly retarded how I'm jumping between different scripts but that will take days and it works right now so there's not much value.I also drew a concept sketch of the "War Mage" class in bed, but I think I'm not gonna keep much from it when I do the real lineart version.

One thing that looked alright was the actual mechanics of the dungeons and enemies. Seems like a good programmer was involved. Needs a better artist. Needs a better preview video for sure. That preview was fucking terrible and I guarantee even without making any changes to the game they could have made it way more interesting. They gave it like, an animal crossing comfy song for an adventure game.
>>500163232https://howlongtobeat.com/?q=zeldahttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/games/franchise/274-legend-of-zeldaI'd assume the "average playtime" would be very close to the "Main Story" HowLongToBeat playtime, since at least 80%+ of players who buy a physical copy console game would at least finish the main story.From reviewer testimony:>Shalnor Legends: Sacred Lands>About 6-8 hours for beating, 16 for completion.>Shalnor Legends 2: Trials of Thunder>My Playtime: 13.6h (24/25 achievement, finished the game)>My First Playthrough: 10.2hThis makes it about as half as long as comparable Zelda titles.

>>500169380If I did it didn't me annoy or take out of the movie enough for me to remember it.
>>500169852I got like 1 hour in then there was a gay minigame that looked like something out of newgrounds that gave retarded rewards so I realized I'd have to play that for like 10 hours before continuing so I just stopped playing
>>500163232>>500168569>>500169704I'm not going to bother to look it up but a good way to get completion data is to look at what percentage of players get the achievements for going through the story
>>500166509I hate my artist. Because he's me, and I'm the one person that I really really really hate.

>>500169704>>500169852The funnels are insane and this goes for absolutely everything. From the people playing the browser version of my game on itch, about 5% make it through the first level. (Takes 5-10 minutes.)
>>500169704>t. zoomerThat's how it works for your brainrotted generation, but millennials grew up getting maybe two games a year, one for your birthday and one for Christmas, multiply that for every sibling in your household for how many games each household gets per year. Maybe you get lucky and you convince mommy to rent one, and then you have to blaze through it in one week's time. Other than that, you trade games with your friends or go over to their house to play. Each game copy sold was played through many more times back before the Steam sales became the norm.
>>500170046if only i enjoyed both of those things as much>>500170103ive been wanting to mess around making a multiplayer game for a while but i know its gonna be a huuuuge project to figure out netcode and all that and i think i wanna save it for when i have my plate clean idk this sucks
>>500170463if only you guys didnt kill the collab then we'd have something to work onFUCK YOU SLIMO
>>500170463If you have a good idea for a multiplayer game, I could help you.
>>500171000um i didnt kill the collab i contributed art that everyone ignored
>>500171190its not really a good idea i wanna make a social game thats has band themed stuff. you can just walk around and explore and do normal stuff but you can form bands with people and it has a little djmax thing where you hit buttons in rhythm to the music to play the song along with a group. itd be an addition to other stuff but i think the process of forming a band and playing music you like together would be fun
>>500170394first of all you're retardedsecond of all I'm not a zoomer I wish, being old sucksthird that might've been the case back in the day but that's not how it works nowI don't know if Nintendo does public stats for anything but I would be surprised if more than 10% of purchasers beat the Link's Awakening remake
>>500171195i didnt ignore it tough, i'm thinking of restarting the collab but i need to find at least another programmer because i cant carry that load alone
>>500171414So, basically an MMO rhythm game? It's not an awful idea, but it's big enough that I wouldn't want to do it if it couldn't be monetized.
>>500171767haha i mean i posted my concept art originally in that discord and then no one said anything and it got bumped off the page that no one saw until it was mentioned but its w/e>>500172473oh i definitely wanna monetize it. for your character you make theres gonna be tons of different clothing options for you to dress your character up with and that'd be easy to make cash shop bullshit with. i wanna do like a scroll generation system too so people can make music and sell it to each other with an ingame money economy thing and have other classes to mix stuff around i always like when you introduce trading into a game and the resulting ingame economy that spawns is really interesting to watch. i think letting the players make their own custom clothes would be awesome too where its just like a png texture you draw on and then they can sell it to each other in game too.
