I've been adding a test scene which quickly calculates the distance needed to make each hit. I load each move and it the scene will produce the numbers needed.I can then use the number for the cpu fighters so they know how close to be when striking.Plus if I tweak any animations/hitboxes I can re-run the scene and get the new figure.
We're entering a new Indie renaissance of the likes of the first 'hipster quirky chiptune' age of Indie.It's going to be massive.Sure, we've had some hits in the interim age, but I'm talking Minecrafts and Stardews coming out. I'm talking new e-celebs being made.There are people here who will be named among Notch and Eric Barone.
>>500358752I was a yuge Bite Me fan months ago but I've grown tired of their shtick
>>500358748So far the cpu fighters and only select a target, move towards and perform a high kick.They can turn around too.
It's a good thing I like playing my game because I'm basically the only one playing it ever apparently.

>one of my favorite artists dms me to say they love my work and then draws fanart of itFeels fucking amazing man
>>500364075I hope we see more ecelebs blackpilling people on gamedev. Its not a ticket to free money and its not easy like they made it out to be. Like with restaurants 90% of gamedevs will fail and lose money and only people who are actually passionate about game development should be doing game development.
>>500358564thats a very touching OPtoday op was not a faggot
>>500364075I thought the whole point of the unicycle pizza game was to make a light silly asset flip that they don't really care about for quick money.How did he get so invested and burned out on the silly meme project?
>>500360141Congrats to him why was it suddenly blow up?
>>500365192the power of /agdg/
i got my steam payment recepit but im too stupid to understand it lol
>>500365192the power of leaving /agdg/ and posting a non-roguelike deckbuilder game with coherent aesthetics on social media
>>500365054desperate move to keep the company running, it was all or nothing. it had to work
>>500365345rogue-likes are actually fun if you make it corgectly.
>>500365192Tiktok is very friendly to new accounts compared to xitter
>>500365386and in all of that time spent making crabware, they could've made progress on a game they actually were excited about.
>>500363747I'm gonna be the Leonardo DiCaprio of the indie game development renaissance.
So am I supposed to independently source every sound I use from freesound.org in the credits of my game?
>>500365719Yes.
>>500365719
>>500357362that's awesome, you made the editor too?
>>500365719Or just buy a subscription to one of those massive sound libraries like SoundlyThey're surprisingly cheap
>>500365719thats what im doing
>>500365719me on the left
>>500365960Archive also hosts old CD sound libraries from the 90s. You think the copyright on them is expired by now?
>>500362243kekafter the video ends your project files are erased and replaced with AI slop
it's amazing, really. PAT is a game that when i first saw progress, 2 or so years ago, i quickly concluded that it would be another silly quick prototype that would never be finished or played by more than aggies and a couple of randoms.over time the dev improved the art, and made the characters appealing. when i played it i was pleasantly surprised by the types of fairies and how you can use them and the overall soul and goofyness of the game. very inspiring desue
>>500365510Yeah, just checked his TikTok, and he received tons of likes right from the start. Gonna take the tiktok pills
>>500360141>determined yesdevs who's nice to everyone makes it>crabs continue to wallow in miseryThere is a god
>>500364241i look like this and say this, but for morrowind because that's what i played even tho i know daggerfall is more ambitious
Have you guys ever started a game project because you played another game and thought, "This could be so much better"?
i downloaded a sky shader for godaughter but my fps tanked to 20 so I instead slapped perlin noise in a giant plane above the camera =/
>>500365983good man
>>500365983based
>>500366510one of the reasons I struggle so much with this hobby is knowing I need to do something different, because I can't just make a better versions of other games...
>>500366510When the fuck is den of wolves coming out
>>500366241>>500360141stuff like this gives me hope and motivates me a lot. i`m happy for him and honestly i wish the best for the crabs as well, i think they just need some sort of needed validation to get the cogs going.
Thoughts?
>>500366510not really "this could be so much better" but more like "i really like how this game does this, what if i made something different but with a little bit of this concept sprinkled upon it?"
>>500366651You literally can do that

Man, It's literally impossible to make a videogame without making a fucking titanic work for multiple years.And then you get 5 reviews for a game you wasted 15 years making.Is a stupid plan.Need to figure out something that is not a videogame that is easier to make.
How do I make a 4x game?
>>500370613Cris , why don't you just make the game you want to make and that you would play?
>>500370839How advanced is your programming knowledge
>>500370964because I can't make a game that needs an massive company like SNK.
>>500362703Hello fellow jafa.
>>500365054UPT was supposed to save the company, but it has no real staying power in residuals because it's a shitty streamerbait game. Maybe they made "ok" money with it on release, but to make a living on games like UPT they'd have to be maintaining that hardcore burnout level of production ALL the time and EVERY one of their one month slop games would have to do well enough to keep them afloat for the next month. And I mean let's be realistic, UPT isn't even paying their bills for the month it took them to make it, it's basically just proving to themselves that they can make something off game dev."Just make lots of small shitty games" isn't a viable business strategy.I hope they make it, but if this is their business model moving forwards it's not gonna work out.
>>500370613me on the leftyou on the right

>>500371624hilariously this is how the gridmap feature in godot currently worksit's an extremely old largely abandoned feature but it feels so convenient for the kind of game I'm making I wish there was an updated alternative or something

LETS GO AGDG! DEV TIME!! !!!!!!!!!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM2MAOavweU
Whoops this was supposed to be a projectile not an explosion
>>500371382Well, on the technical side of things, you're going to need more than that. Any strategy game is going to be running a thousand different variables, a lot of which interact with each other through different systems, and these systems are subsystems in larger systems that are essentially games within your game themselves. Because a 4X match basically has a player playing several different games at once for the duration of the match.It's going to be a really complicated and large project. But nothing is impossible when you break it into small parts and plan well.On the game design side, you can clearly define your starting goals for the basic 4X game to construct a basis unto which you'll start building your own ideas. If you can define these goals and break them down into steps, you can actually start writing code and jutting down variables. Optimization is very important as you will rape the player's CPU if you don't know what you're doing.But if this is your first major game dev project, I'm not gonna tell you to give up or anything, just know that it's a pretty gargantuan task. The Internet has a lot of good resources to help you along.
>>500371861i got you, babe
>>500363849A TF2 clone is impossibly huge for a solodev.But a Quake TF clone... that might be doable
>>500371910I'm guessing the projectile is colliding with character it spawns from? Pretty simple fix. Just have the projectile ignore the shooter.
I think I got an excelent idea.What if you mix the concepts of an infinite runner but mix it up with the concepts of an lottie animation?
>>500371910what are you cooking ?
>>500372636thanks honey
HOLY FUCK.I GOT IT.What if you made a virtual book in godot, but it was something like a gallery of lottie animations that tell a story.Holy shit, yes.
>>500372686I feel like making any sort of multiplayer pvp game as a solo dev is just asking to get fucked because nobody's going to buy something that may or may not even have a playerbaseSmall team co op focus with the possibility of also playing single player feels more realistic
>>500369824we have an h game thread? where?
>never done pixel art before>find an app for my phone>dink around while going to bedFeeling pretty good
i have zero desire to work on a game yet im in a constant state of stress about not working on a game
ON SECOND THOUGHTTHAT WAS A BAD IDEAI should make Cat-sleVania: Rondo of treats
So what are the 3 top upcoming /agdg/ games that aren't porn or VNs atm?Based on DD, it is:Balatro CloneDiablo ClonePoke ALL ToadsExcluding clones:Poke ALL ToadsHyper Coven (wtf is this mess)(a)wokenCrazy to think the boochi spammer is the top dev of this general...
>>500373130>>500373851
>>500374263is that cris
>>500374031>Crazy to think the boochi spammer is the top dev of this general...Why?
>>500374263I look like and say this
>>500372718ha even stupider. I made the projectile way too big so it looked like an explosion but it was actually an enormous sphere flying at me.>>500372818cookin up some G A M E P L A Y boiiiiii!!!!!now the question is... do entities check if projectiles hit them... or do projectiles check if they hit entities? Or both?
>>500373156If I ever do decide to attempt a QTF clone, I'd pack it as the multiplayer component to a single player Quake clone. I'm well aware that a small indie solodev is never going to have enough players (or cash to pay for servers) to attempt multiplayer only.
can't dev, too busy PROOMPTING
>>500374896I say study how Conker did the whole bat section and make a game around that.
>>500373130so we're back to that part of the cycle
I haven’t heard such nonsense in a long time. 1. Game engines have been available and free for at least 15 years, if not more. 2. Free assets are just a pile of junk made by school kids and students, used in thousands of other trashy games. They’re good enough for prototyping, but in the growing competitive market—which you yourself mentioned at the start—using pre-made assets is the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot. 3. Only a clueless newbie would take AI as a real development tool. Considering that AI’s context window usually doesn’t exceed the size of a few classes, it’s useless for any project with a complexity level even slightly above a school kid’s Snake game knockoff. 4. The fact that there will be more trash, making it harder to promote your game so that anyone even sees it, somehow leads you to the opposite conclusion that this is a good thing. That’s just a facepalm moment. 5. Dude, what planet are you even living on? Are you sure you’re a game developer? These days, many studios with million-dollar budgets are taking the indie niche because they have professional teams and money, and they can achieve in a year what would take you 10 years. That’s what’s being called “indie” nowadays. Take Dave the Diver, for example. Saying that a game of that caliber can be made by a fresh graduate using free assets in today’s hyper-competitive market… you’ve either lost your mind, or you’re deliberately trying to ruin the lives of young guys and girls who might believe such blatant lies.
I've maybe come up with something.>game is PvEI'm not much of a PvP guy, and recent years have also shown that people want PvE games way more than PvP games. It could be a sad side effect of matchmaking killing PvP and you could actually make a fun PvP game if you just made it old school and server based, but who knows.>4 basic DnD character classes with unlockable subclasses for each to choose from with each specializing in different thingsThose being Ranger, Warrior, Wizard and Rogue.>gameplay is drop-in, drop-outI hate the time investment modern games tend to require. You join and you play a full 40 or 50 minute game or you get nothing. You could also fail at the last second and just waste an hour of your time.>hand-crafted maps with a publicly available map editor to go with it>a game director that controls enemy spawns based on server population and difficultyIn case the game is dead or you're a loner.So the basic idea is this:You pick a map (or maps) and queue. You are dropped into an active server that is running that map. There may be other people in there already, up to 64 players, or something like that. You pick a class and go. Class can be changed any time you die.The map is a dungeon that can be played from start to finish. You spawn either at the point with the most players or at the latest unlocked checkpoint, not sure. There is however a time limit to completing the dungeon, completing challenges and checkpoints gives more time.The dungeon is full of respawning enemies and challenges with a final boss at the end. Nothing is forcing your hand to do anything in particular, you're free to do whatever you want and gain xp from just killing enemies, but the best rewards are gained from completing the dungeon and killing the boss, hopefully encouraging people to work together and beat the dungeon.Once the dungeon is completed, a vote is called to either restart the current dungeon at a higher difficulty level, or switch to another dungeon.
>>500375392sounds like wow dungeon finder
>>500374263let's face it. He's iconic.
>>500375389I'm sorry or I'm glad that happened
>>500374896Projectiles should be checking. Otherwise if you want to add other collideable objects, you would have to make every entity check for every possible thing that can hit them even when those things aren't currently in-game
>>500375392why grind for anything if there's no world?
>>500375392you should try some mmos before starting
>>500375653It's actually a big part of what I'm going for. I enjoyed dungeons in WoW and FFXIV but I never liked how much of a serious time and effort investment they were, and being stuck in an MMO, it means that if you played the dungeon you had to be at your A-game because people were there to do the most optimal thing in order to grind a very specific thing. It was too serious to be fun for me.I'm hoping to remedy the overt seriousness by making it chaotic by upping the playercount and making people not hard-dependent on each other but still being able to help each other. I'm taking a page out of Helldivers' book on this one because ideally the gameplay would be chaotic and fun but a skilled player could take control of the situation.>>500375902Why did people play games back in the old days when there wasn't really anything to grind towards? I'm hoping that the game might just be fun enough for people to keep playing and hell, if there has to be something to grind towards it might as well be cosmetics. Something to show off.>>500376017I've played enough MMOs, I don't feel like grinding any more..
>>500376220There was a world which was basically a digital chat room with fantastical set pieces. Auctions, community, etc.You'd have to make the actual gameplay so fun and with such a high skill ceiling, that people are fine with just playing instanced dungeons standalone the game.
>>500375103I watched a youtube video of it when it was mentioned before but I'm not sure what I can learn from it. I'll take another look.>>500375818good looking out. I think I went that way for the same reason. I don't want environmental objects to have to do collisions checks, they don't even have update functions. So makes sense to gather all the logic in the projectileI'm so close to having Batty be hit and hurt by projectiles but I have to make her Crash function more generic and I'm too tired. Goodnight aggy
>>500376398High skill ceiling? Okay, get this:>quake movement
Are collabs good for you?
>>500376583ahaha yeah! and how about dark souls! and stars wars? heck yeah!
>my game is a fan game of a major nintendo ipguys.....shoud i just give up now?
>>500369912Wholesome
>>500376916Yes.
>>500376895as long as you would play it.
>>500377192try warhammer vermintide it might be what you want
>>500376916make it so good they can't ignore it and they hire you to make it for them.
>>500376895Hell yeah, put some Marvel in there as well.Really though, you're right, the actual moment-to-moment gameplay has to be top-notch in order for the game to even stand a chance. I think open playtesting with a lot of communication would be my best bet, but this project seems like it definitely needs a pre-existing community or fanbase that would be willing to try it in the numbers required for the game to work.I think I might have something that could actually work here, but it just needs too many players and no first indie project with 0 establishment in the industry will ever get that kind of engagement. I might throw this on the slow burner and occasionally throw in some ideas onto the drawing board and make some small assets when I feel like it, and work on some of my single player games to get things properly started.
>>500377304you'd have to make something near to be called the 'chess' of Instanced PVE experience. Just a pure self evidently fun game.I say this because MMOs all have PVE and also community and world. There's definitely something to:1. No time investment. Just hop in and play PVE. MMOs can be a grind fest at times.2. Very good PVE gameplay where it is self evidently fun, like Mordhau is for PVP. Again, as long as you want to play it. If you want to play it, someone else will. Just be honest with yourself.
Just woke up from my 9 hour nap, time to dev
What kinda resources would an anti-mage use in battleEveryone in the setting has at least some form of mana, but he doesn't use mana, but if I don't have him use mana then he has a worthless stat, but if he does use mana then that wouldn't make sense because he's against magicHmmm...

>>500377262this is somewhat what i'm aiming forwas inspired by that LoZ OOT HD shit remake that was posted here a couple days agosome anon said that they were surprised that nintendo hadn't taken it down yetwhich means they aren't scared of it at alli want to make something that they sue the ever living shit out of me...something that makes them reel when they see itsince all the crabs are right....this is only just a hobby.....might as well shitpost while doing it
>>500377646post your tits
>>500378060just don't share it until it's done. promise?
progress
>>500377915Oh I like that actually, thanks anon, I'll fuck around a bit and see if I can work something with that
>>500374263Cris feels like a sitcom character
>>500376779I'm collabing with a lolidev for this demo day, working on some assets rn
i'm feeling a bit conflicted now. i've been looking at my pistol,i was going for an integral supressor look but you know... i'm just feeling a bit "ehhh" over the original design, so i made a few changes to it.what do you think? top is the original and bottom is the new one that looks less original but looks more orthodox. i don't know which one i'm going with honestly.
>>500360141>Segment your game into all of its pieces>Post 1 Tok for every enemy in the gameGod that sounds miserable
>>500374263he couldve been a meme on tiktok and make big yens with this. maybe even on par with the costco guys or rizzler
How do I make a game that kids would enjoy?
>>500374031Shartwoken is a hawken clone trans sister.
>>500378234I like the bottom one a lot more.The top one would look better if the integrated suppressor was at least covered up with some more material like whatever's on the bottom except with holes so it looks like a heat shield of sorts, but I'd probably still like the bottom one more.
I invited a fellow /agdg/ poster over to my apartment to do some collab work but he got so frustrated with Godot at one point that he shouted "JUST FUCKING WORK ALREADY YOU FUCKING NIGGER!" and apparently all my neighbors heard it and thought it was me because now they think I'm racist. Whenever they see me now they call me "nigger-man" and laugh. Isn't it pretty racist of them to use the n-word to make fun of me?The collab didn't work out either and I've stopped using Godot.
>>500378234make it like this
>>500378234the top one looks like a nerf gun
It has been 2 hours since I've opened aseprite and I have not been able to make a single usable asset
stupid thread, stupid people, see you tomorrow. you foul pieces of trash
>>500378537I read this fanfiction because I'm a trans ally supporting young trans authors, it was good.
>>500378234Coming from the perspective of dumb video game player who knows nothing about guns, I wouldn't read the internally silenced pistol as actually being silenced unless the game explicitly told me it was.The external massive silencer changes the gun profile in a way that's easily noticeable and immediately translates to any player that it's a silenced gun.

>>500378436>>500378665>>500378569alright. thank you for the feedback fellas, i'm going with the bottom one.>>500378797though not exactly a humanoid that pistol's supposed to be held by picrel. i didn't finish her sculpt yet>>500378546kek>>500378957you look cisdrawn
holy shit, the vision, it's coming to mei love these moments of clarity where i clearly see in my mind's eye what my game is going to be like and i get all giddy with joytoo bad i lose all motivation when i start actually devving lol

>>500379207Motivation is a SCAM DON'T FALL FOR ITYou will make garbage, it will be shit, but that doesn't mean you give up, that means you keep working at it until you have a product that is less shit, and while doing so you will have more flashes of clarity that will guide your product to being even less shit, and you keep doing this until eventually you have a product that has been un-shittedYou want to know who fails? The ones who say "I can't continue" or "My project isn't what I wanted but it's good enough I guess" and never start the unshitting.MAKE SHITBE PROUDUNSHIT IT
>>500379481unironically if anyone here is just completely shameless and willing to make money at any cost, head over to either roblox and make shitty games that involve all the current things popular with kids or make a shitty asset flip phone game with all the current popular things and you are guaranteed to make more than you would have made with an actual jobeven right now as im typing this probably a hundred million kids across the planet have typed "skibidi toilet" or "poppy playtime" into their phone app store's search bar
>>500379809I'm pretty sure Roblox pays you pennies even for the biggest success stories because they know that it's primarily kids making the content who don't know any better about the value of their content

>>500371674what happened to marmo?
>>500380516When a game has no activity it gets dropped off steam charts so they don't waste API requests on 0 players games
>>500380586no..........
>>500380586I'm sure in the future Steam will do like Google Play is doing now and just outright delete dev accounts not selling at least X copies a month, it is a waste of resources to have bums like marmo on the platform.
>>500380516It failed so hard it broke Steamcharts.
>>500380448same.
>>500380695>It failed so hard it broke Steamcharts.
wait, marmo failed? how?it looked good
>>500380867Gaben personally looks for /agdg/ games and suppresses them in the algorithm. 'swhy every recent /agdg/ game on steam failed.
>>500380398depends. is it urgent? if so i sadly can't because i'm really busy with college shit
>>500358564>/agdg/ ~ Anonymous Game Development General ~>Anonymouswhat is this shit, i'm out
>>500380867>shitty capsule art makes it look like zero-budget shovelware slop>shitty store pageIt just wasn't appealing. The actual gameplay looks alright - even, dare I say, fun - but he did a horrible job selling the game to people. Also the name is kind of weird from a pronunciation / remembrance standpoint. I get that it's a real English word, but it's an awkward one and he should have picked a better name for the game.
>>500380950You joke, but I would not be surprised if Valve, Apple, and Google actually have spyware that does that crap to suppress visibility of "undesirables."
>>500381070man, i genuinely wish there was something i could doi just hate seeing passion and effort gone to waste like thisi hope the game eventually picks up
>>500380867well, personally I would not play it because:1. only can play as girls2. anime art styleInstant pass when I see the above things.
>>500381047now there's finally a thread he can post with us in
>>500380867it lacked appeal
>>500381047I like that title better. Amateur is self deprecating and crab culture.
>>500381070>>500381297Yeah, the anime skin is a death sentence to wide appeal. Marmo should reskin the base game to something else.
>>500381174I'd say if you have a streaming audience you could show off the game, but honestly I got the impression it's fairly story driven and linear and probably not something where viewers would pick it up and play it themselves later.You kind of need open-ended gameplay and replayability for the streamer thing to work.
>>500381384anime girly girl slop is completely anti-soul and I don't know why game devs keep doing it.
>>500381475I don't think that was the problem
>>500381497There are some recent examples of streamers really helping a linear story focused game (namely Mouthwashing), but the caveat is that story has to be really, *really* compelling, so that people who watch the stream still buy it for the status of owning a copy of the story.
"You guys like games right? Getting the high score? Here's a game. Get the high score in it. Show off the score to your friends! 10 action-packed levels!"
>>500380867zero marketing aside from generic posts on reddit in the last month. no streamers. The one time someone played it (biteme played it and even had fun doing the voices) he didn't capitalize on it and clip it to post it anywhere. showing people enjoy your game would help ya know? it's not to late to do this btw>>500381070>Also the name is kind of weird from a pronunciation / remembrance standpoint. agreed here too. I never hear the word used, it's unfamiliar to 99% of people and 100% of ESL.
>>500381475There's nothing wrong with anime art style, Octopath Traveller does it without any problems. His capsule art just looked really crappy. Maybe it was honest for the game's ingame appearance but that's not how capsule art works, you need that shit to look good.
>>500381549Wrong.
guys i think i discovered the final redpilli just got burnout for not making progress for the past 3 days them by making progress i remove the burnout of negative progress.. it was that simple the whole time
left or right
>>500381783>Maybe it was honest for the game's ingame appearanceThe sad thing is that it's actually not. The capsule is incredibly off-model compared to the actual game art.
Anime girl games are a diamond dozen now. There's no shortage of high quality anime booba coming out of China.
>>500381976this is why you have to work on more niche anime subgenres like loli or kemono
I think I got now a solid idea using AI slop.
>>500381976yep. in this doggy dog world you need to pray to baby cheeses that your game stands out.
>>500382061your levels of laziness and corner-cutting always impress me
>>500382061every day is opposite day for cris.
>>500382164I think my own made up limitations is what allow me to be creative.
Checking out Marmoreal's steam page, I see a lot of small problems that are probably contributing factors to low sales. Out of these, the one that jumps out the most to me is this part in the description:>Note: The Early Access version of the game is in an unfinished state, and will not a complete, finished product until the game leaves Early Access.Marmo is basically straight up ASKING people not to buy his game while its in Early Access. Which is fair for him to do of course, but still, low sales can't be that surprising when you directly ask for low sales.

>>500381783why are you so obsessed with the capsule art??it wasn't just the capsule art though yes it does play a partit failed because of its mobile game tier gameplayit was supposed to be backed by a gripping story and interesting characters but instead we got deviant art tier designs top to bottomthis game should have exploded.....with lewd fan art but instead we got this generic animeslop that isn't even fap worthyMarmo if ever you read thisI have nothing against you idk what the drama is with you and the schizoI posted feedback several times because i really wanted you to succeed....im proud of the fact that you shipped....better than most anyone around here but i still believe in youik it looks dim right now but just keep on marmo and dont give it up yet...learn art and overhaul when you're ready...embrace the mobile game mechanics should add some gacha waifu mechanics now....don't be afraid to pivot.....just look at fortnite now

>Going to have to add a pause screen to explain controls because almost every fucking play tester has ignored important controls no matter how many iterations of tutorialization i've doneI actually hate that I have to do this
>>500386307It's almost like tutorials are important.
>>500386412And good tutorials let you play the fucking game while learning it. Pausing the game to teach players an input is always fucking awful and i've done everything i can to avoid doing it. I angry anon, i'm angry that I couldn't design myself out of a harder than normal to understand mechanic.
>>500386784Just put a small message up when they get to each little gameplay snippet, and quickload back to the start of the snippet if they fuck up. This is ancient fucking technology go install Thief: the Dark Project (26 year old game probably older than you are) and see how they did it.
Recently my mind came up with a game-idea I have since a long time, but I wonder if you might be interested in itIt's basically a RTS game like Warcraft and Starcraft, but with the economic mechanics of an Anno or the Settler gameIf this sounds highly ambitious and a mess in the making, yes I know, but I don't careThe 4 playable factions (so far) would be......Humans: Basically modern day humans with a slightly futuristic overtone (they at least know how to use portals or such to a certain degree)No idea how far I go with the futuristic stuff (they may or may not have mechs) but yeah, that would be humans...Fantasy Faction: A conglomerate of different fantasy races (an "alliance" you can say) from elves, dwarves, etc., no humans toughTheir "speciality" is that you can theoretically focus only on one race, or do a mix of them, but different races often don't like each other (don't expect full blown "race-wars" tough, maybe a deficit in economy at best)While mixing sounds like a bad idea then, it isn't always bad to diversify, one example (so far) might be that Elves aren't good at producing iron, but their higher tier units might need that too, while the dwarfs are masters of producing it...Aliens: No idea in which direction I go with them, will they be either completly focused on organic troops like the Zergs, or highly advanced ones like the Protoss, but I guess it's gonna be a mix of it...Devils: Demons and such, no idea what they will be about, but imagine your average demons and devils and suchAnd yeah, anyone who might like that idea?Or even stealing itPic more or less unrelated
>>500387221It's an ok premise. I wouldn't buy the game for it, but it wouldn't stop me from buying the game either.
>>500386784>>500386913this, you literally just have to force the player to do the correct move 2-3 times and from that point forward the player will use that move. it's that simple. how some devs still think players can "ignore" a proper tutorial is bizarre. a real tutorial cannot be ignored. whatever you're doing isn't really a tutorial. understand this. a tutorial CANNOT be completed without doing the thing the developer wants the player to learn.
>>500387221>And yeah, anyone who might like that ideaThe cost to execute the idea being fun is likely more than the revenue it could generate. Kids don't play RTS and RTS players are unwilling to move from their favourite RTS since SC2 came out.
>>500387221>Or even stealing itconsider it stolen nodevbe prepared to see it at the next demoday
>>500385792>aggy games (3)FishlikeSiphoShadowed: The Demon Castle of Ooe>non aggy games (2)TerrariaStory of Seasons A Wonderful LifeThis was hard, 3 years is a long time and to only have 5 games! If I get bored soon enough I'd probably start having more than just a main project game. 3 years should be enough for me to focus and finish my current game might even start another game after it. Though I wouldn't be surprised if I screw up the situation and end up not finishing my game. I'm sure I can succeed with those mental blocks out of the way I'm sure I can finally make good progress once I'm settled in.

Something strange is going on with the way the entire gaming ecosystem behaves now compared to 7 years ago>wishlist value: plummeted>wishlist to sale ratio: plummeted>sale to review ratio: skyrocketed>gamedev interest: skyrocketed>ease of gamedev: skyrocketed>steams greedy behavior: skyrocketed>average gamer population: constant dopamine starvation>gaming population: skyrocketed>gaming population demands: skyrocketed>various AI faucets: skyrocketedFeels like a mix of multiple things converging that result in gamedev becoming an extremely wide shallow ocean with many fishermen and many fish just converging onto just a few fishermen.

I somewhat get a feeling like that. Prevents from playing any big games where I'm probably going to be playing for 30 minutes minimum before being able to fully quit out.
>>500388363Valve fucked us by letting the entire third world publish games on steam. We get a massive increase in developers but barely any customers to compensate and the customers we did get can't pay more than a few dollars for games.

>>500389412A rising tide lifts all boats...
>>500389982Cope and sneed, zoomer. You do realize that literally billions of guys throughout human history have managed to attract a mate? It's way easier than making a game.
>>50038722175% of your game design is random ideaguying factions, this is not a large basis to judge anything on.Even though it’s an obvious design, an "RTS with complex eco" has never really been done – perhaps because getting your very brittle production lines interrupted by attacks is not very fun. I mean, Anno is truly an RTS, you can always play that. Maybe the reason it works in Anno is precisely the islands design which means that you will mostly get interrupted at sea, but seldom invaded on your islands, so threat model is more refined. In the same vein, Settlers had a mechanic to discourage run-by, making it so combat mostly happens at the borders. Northgard is a game with relatively complex eco (at least a bit more complex than AoE, let’s say), but no real mechanics to protect your eco, which makes for multiplayer matches where eco management plays a very small role, as everyone spends most of the time on only 5-10 workers, having to keep army maxed out all the time. I think the D.O.R.F. guys have plans to make eco more complex, we will see where that ends.

>>500388363Most of it is Steam's fault. I don't want to say too much lest it give an advantage to other devs in outcompeting my game but it's a multi-front assault and it ties all into Gabe's greedy shekel hounding behavior's. Seems I'm not the only one aware of this behavior being a major contributor to what's going.
>>500343621Worst part about this is that it does nothing new or different. It's a really mediocre VSlike but with coop and coop has friendly fire. That's it. Sure it's 3d but the style is only like 6-7/10. The upgrade system is so generic it's boring. The meta progression doesn't even have any interesting perks. Gameplay felt like it could've come from a tutorial it's so basic.I suppose it being 3d and coop must've done it? Did it go viral with some streamers? I really don't understand why it sold so well.

And the artist started doing it long before AI art became usable on that level.>>500391053It seems like he also takes commissions on a different site, coloso.

Dude, what planet are you even living on? Are you sure you’re a game developer? These days, many studios with million-dollar budgets are taking the indie niche because they have professional teams and money, and they can achieve in a year what would take you 10 years. That’s what’s being called “indie” nowadays. Take Dave the Diver, for example. Saying that a game of that caliber can be made by a fresh graduate using free assets in today’s hyper-competitive market… you’ve either lost your mind, or you’re deliberately trying to ruin the lives of young guys and girls who might believe such blatant lies.
>>500393430it looks like the kind of game a delusional anon would make
>>500393430That's his game until proven otherwise.
>>500393684He is right though, the term Indie has been co-opted by entities that are obviously NOT indie, way too many companies making 1 million+ per year call themselves indie nowadays.
>>500389247you can transform any drawing or photo into pixelart with AI now, and it gets you 90% of the way there, and with a bit of elbow grease you can get as good as that guyeven someone with mediocre art skills can do good pixel art now
>>500393840Sure, but AI can't do it consistently enough for a game
>>500393430>>500393764Original poster said "a couple days ago" but the bait game was released yesterday.
Keep coping. There is no separate indie and AAA market. The vast majority of customers will buy from either, so long as the game is good. You are competing against all video games in your genre regardless of their production value, whether you like it or not.
>>500392491kys furfag
>>500394045Which is unfair, hopefully AI either disrupts that for good or get some anti monopoly esque laws.
>>500394045correct takesteam is a big boy market where indies go dieitch is a slop troth graveyard filled with scamtreon beggars, failed kickstarters, ai shart and coom brainrot for the most degenerate gooning zombies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMIj0-PmmzIour guy made it
>>500394045you're only competing against good games but niches exist which means that by targeting the right niche your competition is much less than all of good games
>>500394120Just say that you're not good enough, you'll never be good enough, give up, and go away.
>>500394187what niche
>>500394259love this, you earned yourself a (you) king
>>500393964so his game is shit and he's lost his sense of time
>>500394259Are you? Post game
>>500394264depends on your game
The vast majority of games released are slop in shit genres. The good genres have very small numbers of games and anyone participating is able to make a lot of money even if their games aren't very good. No, I'm not telling you what genres they are; thirdies browse these threads and we don't need them infesting the good genres. White men will know what kinds of games I'm talking about.This is the best time to make games.
>>500392762Dude you are PROFITING from shit being so cheap. It’s the same with all automation / efficiency gains everywhere, some people that cannot put 1+1 together want to ban it, because "it makes us poorer" because it "destroys work places" – but these exact savings are then seen in products becoming cheaper and cheaper.I’m a big corpo hater myself, but really the issue with them is they run the government. Whenever they sell you a law as being "against the big corpos" you can rest assured it hits the small guy even harder. E.g. GDPR. Also what really should be abolished is copyright, so that even (You) may make the next Pkmn without getting rekt by Nintendo.
>>500394427>The good genreswhich ones>anyone participating is able to make a lot of money even if their games aren't very goodwhich ones
>>500393840Nice. Does it come with animations or are you limited to shitty visual novels?
>>500393886it's as consistent as the character sheet you feed it, because this technique is not generative like the diffusion modelsit's a neural network that takes an existing image and transforms it into pixel artso you can feed it an existing spritesheet that you sketched or rendered and it can output pixelart at consistent cell sizespic related is just a quick example with a random spritesheet from google
>>500395006bro this looks like shitphotoshop can "pixelate" better without ai or whatever buzzword you fags invent every day, this sprite sheet looks like it was compressed in some amateur shit like krita or something
>>500394427I made a game in a genre that is highly respected but was abandoned by AAA and I sold 0 copies. You're lying. Fascist nazi.
>>500393840>and with a bit of elbow grease you can get as good as that guyNah, not really. Look up the guy on twitter, his is actual autistic pixel art placed manually that takes months to make while yours looks like a resized drawing with a dithering layer placed on top. It's nowhere near the same, and that "elbow grease" to get it to look like his stuff would take you nearly the same amount of time to fix.Of course to make a game you don't need this level of art, I'm just saying you'd need to train an entire models on hundreds of his works and get someone on his level to touch it up to do that kind of shit, a generic pixel art model will never get you that.

>>500397023>I'm not posting my game because /agdg/ will make fun of iteveryone will make fun of you for something at some point, learn to glean the truth from it and ignore the rest. If they make fun of it there might be something to learn. It may not be immediately palatable but it's way better than fake niceness or "sandwich compliments". Just get made fun of and get it over with, the next game or patch of the first, will be better.
>>500397330You can give criticism without it being mean-spirited. Most of you just have no etiquette and don't respect anyone else. It's one thing to point out someone else's problem, and a different one to then call them a "faggot incel retard" after doing it.
>>500397550>say the game is boring>gain a new schizoMost aggys don't take any criticism. You either glaze them or they will hate you.
>>500397550It's not lack of respect it's that no respect has been earned. You don't respect someone you pass on the street, respect is built over time. Furthermore, so what if someone calls you a faggot retard? Tons of people hate indiscriminately because their life is shit or they had a bad day or you just smell like faggot, it doesn't matter. You're never going to make everyone happy. Just roll with it.

Tons of people hate indiscriminately because their life is shit or they had a bad day or you just smell like faggot, it doesn't matter.Well if all you're gonna be is angry and gloomy all day, every day, I'd just rather not interact with you. So would any other sane person. I'm not saying you need be toxically positive but you don't have to be an asshole all the time either.
it should be that easy
>>500398107>Maybe, but that doesn't justify being an asshole to everyone around you.I feel indifference these days is often attributed to malice. I do not think the majority of agdg posts and feedback are malice, they simply feel like what would happen if you grabbed someone off the street and asked what they thought. It's actually pretty rare I'm called a faggot or retard if I even get a reply at all.

>>500398576qrd
i dunno who needs to hear this. but just use unity, just make a normal game and just do a bit of work every day. that's the sane and enjoyable dev path.don't overthink, don't wait for great ideas, don't enginedev. just make something normal and try to improve it over time. genre doesn't even matter.pick city builder, shooter, arpg, survival sim, bullet hell, whatever... just pick something and try to improve it day by day. just try to do it well. try to become good at it.and don't start a new project before you finished the full game. the only reason you should ever start a new project is when your current one is finished.
>>500399082cute advice, do you have a game?

>>500399082I know a few folks who moved to Canada for their gamedev immigration pathway around COVID but they are still working for US companies though, either for their Canadian subsidiary/branch or through a vendor as a contractor.
>>500398287I'm not talking about indifference. I'm talking about the needless hostility there is towards devs here, particularly devs who didn't sell many copies and get made fun of because of that, or those that made their games not in "agdg approved" ways. Many here seem to forget it's an AMATEUR community. Mistakes and bad decisions are bound to happen but agdg is more interested in tearing the apsiring devs down instead of helping them improve, by being needlessly hostile. Do you understand that?
>>500394489>these exact savings are then seen in products becoming cheaper and cheaper.name one product that has gotten cheaper in the last 50 years. you can't. everything is more expensive now when measured in real people's PURCHASING POWER. 50 years ago you could buy a house on one blue collar job wage. now you can't. 50 years ago groceries were cheap, now they are expensive. so in what world are any efficiency gains being passed on to the consumer? doesn't happen. efficiency gains like any other gains are turned into profits for corporations and banks while most of the population becomes poorer.inb4 some misleading averages. medians only, no cheating.
>>500399472I understand what you're saying but it doesn't feel hostile it just feels like banter. Maybe I'm wrong and people are huge cunts but mostly it feels like ribbing between bros to me. I could see you being wrong and feeling attacked more often than not due to insecurity as well but who can say? I doubt either of us could convince the other. At the end of the day I think it's fine as is and you're missing out not posting your shit to get input.
>>500399472>be me>scrolling through agdg>see a post about some dev getting roasted for not selling enough>cue the usual “git gud” responses>yeah, I get it, the internet loves to tear people down for fun>but at the same time, it’s like, bro, these are people trying to create something>everyone started somewhere, right?>kinda hypocritical when half the people are just >lurking and shitposting while munching on their Cheetos>sure, not every game is a masterpiece, but we’re all here to learn>instead of shitting on devs, how about some constructive criticism?>or at least a meme that doesn’t completely obliterate their spirit?>just saying, let’s remember the whole “amateur” part and try to uplift instead of roast>mfw I just wanted to see some cool indie dev stuff and not a bloodbath

Still the living standard today (meaning the live you get with a mediocre wage) is much higher than it was 50 years ago.Amateur video game development?

>>500401907Easily done. Just get a tripcode.
>>500402329I'm retarded I meant to just number it #1 thinking it'd be funny to number all updates incrementally to see how many updates I post on here but I forgot the number symbol was how you did tripcodes lmao, well using it 1 more time and then from there on I'll # it with like a dot or somethin idk
>>500401804I'm certain I would get a schizo and an imposter if I posted my game here.
I have progress to post but I'm sure as soon as I post it the thread will end.It always happens. So this time, I'm gonna wait

>>500401712>Televisions>Still the living standard today (meaning the live you get with a mediocre wage) is much higher than it was 50 years ago.okay, fair enough. I'd also agree with cars getting much stronger acceleration and more luxurious features like electric windows, heated seats and such as basically standard features in the last few decades. and more recently automatic transmissions that are actually good.but at the end of the day I don't think those isolated actual improvements make up for the fact that I will never own a house. I would much rather have a house. as far as LIVING STANDARD goes I think not owning property subtracts so many points from the total score that niceties like bigger, better TVs and cars don't make a dent. we have gained where it hardly matters and lost where it really matters.
>>500402832>heated seats and such as basically standard features in the last few decades.huh?

>>500402183Which specific scene do you want? I won't show anything important.
>>500371359>"Just make lots of small shitty games" isn't a viable business strategy.You are neglecting the potential carry-over of fanbases to the next.Imo it can absolutely be a viable business stragegy but then you absolutely have to make a game every month AND you have to use synergies and reuse stuff from the previous projects.See sokpop collective which doen't invent a new art style for every game.
>>500403091just look at siactro, his games are like an hour long each and he makes good enough money to rerelease them on consoles multiple times for profit
>>500402887okay when taken literally that's a bad example as every jewfacturer makes you pay extra for heated seats. replace that with>assisted steering>ABS>ESP or whatever that's called internationally, the software that prevents the car from spinning outand lately some cars don't even offer a manual gearbox any more, right?
>>500403091"lots of small shitty games" also describes the puppet combo formula pretty well
>>500403089Literally any scene. Prove you have a game.
>>500402905notice how i didn't have to steal from ai tho lol
>>500402424explain ur game
Game developers aren't supposed to make assets. Making assets makes you an artist, not a game developer.
>>500403440>steal from aiBro are u okay?
>>500403460im both
>>500402929Yes, newfren.
Went to /TV/ to check for advice on writing but the first thread I saw was comparing interracial porn to citizen kane so I'm back here
>>500403460Game developers aren't supposed to Design Games. Designing games makes you a game designer, not a game developerGame developers aren't supposed to manage their projects. Managing projects makes you a project manager, not a game developerGame developers aren't supposed to market their games. Marketing games makes you a game marketer, not a game developer.Game developers aren't supposed to self-publish their games.

>>500403378And if I do, will you voice act in it? Or do you simply want to make fun of me?
>>500403642True.
How can I be vulnerable and share my genuine ideas instead of hiding them and trying to do something I think everyone will like
>>500402832We are free to go to Thailand, Peru etc. – plenty of places left in the world where the old style of living prevails. In any case property does not come down to a "state" guaranteeing it. As Jünger said, freedom begins where the head of the household shows up in the doorway with his sons, casually wielding axes, when a troublemaker shows up. Yes, this is no longer allowed in the first world. You may now be a pussy, and still be safe. You can now eat the cake, but you may no longer on hold it. If one is not a pussy, one should just leave first world territory behind. They have computers and internet all around the world now, I hear. Meet ya in Bangkok, some day.

>>500403792>ai art is just stealing from the people who make real artFirst, the convo wasn't about AI art, second, do you have proofs?
>>500403295only a thing in first world countries, here in colombia we dont have those
>>500403726anonymity, a psuedonym, modding your game
>>500403831You understand how many calories nuts are, right?
>>500403658Good god you're so tiresome. You keep posting that anons keep making fun of you for using AI, and yet you've never actually proven that you have a game. If you're afraid of some anons making fun of your game's voice acting that you insist you need, what reaction do you expect the common gamer to have?Post game.

>Been talking to friend for a couple years>they've been ignoring me as of late>bring up that I do game dev>they now talk to me and want me to help them make a gameI have feelings you know...
>>500403821laws won't be enough. We need to go beyond.We need.... the X-LAWS!
>>500403642Game developers aren't supposed to code. Coding makes you a programmer, not a game developer.Game developers aren't supposed to playtest their games. Playtesting makes you a playtester, not a game developer.Game developers aren't supposed to use AI. Using AI makes you a street shitter, not a game developer.
>>500403091>You are neglecting the potential carry-over of fanbases to the next.show one agdg example
>>500395732agree with idle and gacha those are fundamentally kusoge genres but everything else has some good oneswell.. walking sims are a bit.. not my thing but I'm sure the people who like them have their reasonsthere's no excuse to like gacha or idle you're just a retard at that point
>>500403881ai voice acting was mentioned, picrel is the most original ai "artists"
>>500403460I'm an assetter.
>>500404092megami quest is kamige
>>500404098That's not related to the point at all, you're an idiot.
>>500399082Overall good advice but somehow I don't like the tone you're giving it in.I think it's valid to drop a project if you figure out that the core idea didn't turn out as good as you thought it would be.
>>500403914Because "anons" are not gamers. Most of you don't share the opinions of gamers. And I deliberately asked for actors, so I asked you again if you actually wanted to do it. Instead you began attacking me which clearly shows you simply want to be an ass.
>>500403831seeds are bad for you
>>500403991has no one else experienced this...?
>>500404572Yeah, anons aren't gamers. Gamers will have harsher opinions and will shit on you just for existing. You clearly don't have a game and are here just to shill AI.
>>500404645my friends are busy as hell
>>500404239no you're retarded
>>500404607No, they aren't.
>>500404645No, I've had the same. Felt good reconnecting with a friend over a shared experience.
>>500404654>Gamers will have harsher opinions and will shit on you just for existing.Except that's what /agdg/ does. Normal people shit on games if they're bad.>You clearly don't have a game and are here just to shill AI.You know nothing.
>>500404742says the guy that can't read
>>500404773The point I was trying to make is he only wanted to use me to code his game...>>500404736I'm sorry to hear that.
Man, this thread gives so much bad advice.
Cup one. Let's do this.
>too sick to devDamn microbes
>>500404873Like what?
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Hope the anatomy doesn't look that bad but it's probably the most yuri thing in the game now.
>>500404778>You know nothing.THEN PROVE ME WRONG. PROVE YOU HAVE A GAME WITH AI VOICE ACTING.
>>500382061You're a God among men.
>>500403903Probably not a lot.
>>500404867Maybe they didnt know how to reconnect and having a common goal like gamedev is their way to break the ice? Man I'd kill to be making games with friends instead of alone.My end of university project was a vr game I made with a friend and that was so much fun. Just being able to bounce ideas off of each other is great.
>>500404915Like>scripting languages are an anti-pattern just ship a compiler with your game

how do you make a game cute vtubers would play
>>500405248>not mining your own silicone to create your own chips to build your own OS on to code your game engine in for your dream gameI shiggydiggydoo
>>500405712you make it cutesy and streamable, like suika game. Bonus points if it's a vtuber fangame, then they're way more likely to play it.
This is an actual photo of Gabe Newell in the middle of his daily 4chan run. Every morning, before he starts the daily meeting on how to further screw over Artifact fans (attendance is mandatory for every Valve employee and takes about three hours), he visits /g/'s /gedg/, /vg/'s /agdg/, and checks /v/ for game dev threads. Each game he sees in these threads, he checks if it's on Steam, and if it is, he manually suppresses it in the algorithm to make sure nobody can see it without specifically searching for it.This particular photo is believed to be the exact moment he nuked Marmoreal.Do NOT post your games here. You have been warned.
>>500405712ask marnix
>>500405841what if I specifically want furry male vtubers
>>500405843explain why Hopoo is working at Valve on the Deadlock team right now, then?
>>500405934Hopoo slipped a note to the algorithm team to destroy all /agdg/ games so he doesn't have competition. I thought he was our guy, but... nope!
>>500405925for that you need to speak with anubis dev. Make his game but SFW
>>500406083wow that's literally me
>>500406083>they hate them because women hate women hotter than them>playing as one still lets them pretend that they're hotwomen are so stupid
>>500404481I disagree if it's your first game only because it's far too easy to say "This doesn't feel as good as I thought it would be, I'm just not going to finish" for literally every single project. Taking one idea all the way from conception to release will prove to yourself that you can do it, then whatever next game idea you have, you'll have an idea about each stage of the process. I say that because 90%+ of posters here are project hoppers who are just one idea away from their perfect game they will actually release.
>>500406083Females don't hate overly sexualized charactersLandwhale trooned out freaks hate overly sexualized characters
>>500406434Very low t. beta of you anon to pretend like woman have a legitimate complaint about "Over-sexualization" but they're on board with "the regular amount of sexualization". Very xkcd vibes of trying to pretend like you know better while championing women.
>>500406368Retard cope advice. Plenty of one-game devs flop hard (see Marmo or Bokube), and plenty of project hoppers make it (see YOMIH).
>>500406083>women say one thing and do anotherno surprises there
>>500406683Oh anecdotes of success and failure, guess you better just keep never finishing any projects and instead keep waiting for that one really, really good idea. You will never release a game, you don't have what it takes to see it through to the end.
>>500406683Bokube is out?
>>500406368I see your point. Dropping shouldn't be done if it's your skill that was preventing it from being good. It's still important to work on something you can finish. The idea of "just finish it" is good but many go for stupid unrealistic ideas when they're starting out.To use one of ours as an example I wanna say trainwiz should've dropped Underspace like a year into it and made some smaller games to get better before trying to make it again. His sticking with a game he couldn't handle ended up not going so well.
>>500406647Dial 8
>>500406882trainwiz is megalomaniacal though. Underspace was already his idea of a small little game to get started.The actual game he wants to make is a crazy Morrowind space trains game.
>>500403091>fanbases>built on "small shitty games"You think like marnix
>>500406882That's fair. It'll definitely come down to the reason you want to drop. Overscope/unattainable goals are legitimate. But if you've got a small scope game that could realistically be finished and you project hop because of something like "it doesn't feel as fun as I thought", then you're NGMI.
>>500406878>Outstanding wishlists: 1.2kHe knows it will flop hard, and so he coping by never releasing it, even though it was done years ago.>>500406847Project are never finished. Only released and dropped. There's always more you can do, but you need to learn to move on to greener pastures. If you're going to fail, you should fail fast.>>500406882>>500407107The thing you're missing is that beginners absolutely suck at designing games. You learn so much in the process of just like making game, that if you're not retarded, you'll very quickly understand that the game that you designed as a beginner is a terrible idea, and that once you have it, you should take your newfound gamedev knowledge to design a better game.

>>500407525It literally isn't. I don't eve know what "fascist" means
>>500406434How old are you? 2010 internet was filled with women complaining about them. (While still playing them.)And no troons didn't take off back then, I'm talking real women making real videos and articles.It's true that lately they've been more chill about it though, dunno why, maybe cause more women started making games/sexy art.
>>500407525is this not the guy who was literally caught with a folder full of loli/goblin ai smut on stream

How do I improve my cities? Obviously need to design more building types and will be adding in generation for small details like cars and billboard things along with street lights
i really need to stop listening to confident stupid people
I really need to be more stupidly confident.
>>500407973Roads, textures, homeless people, trash, steam and smoke coming out of vents, lights, etc.
>>500407993I've realised we've managed to automate confident stupid people with AI
>>500407519>Project are never finished. Only released and dropped.My project is finished.>but you can add more shit on top?Yeah? But I didn't design it with that in mind, I had a limited feature and content set from day 1 and it's been fulfilled. >there might be a bug that takes 500 hours to discover I accounted for that at its conception. Some products you buy might come with disclaimer that they might have some scratches or imperfections. Flour sold in stores is allowed to have 0.35% of ash and rat shit in its composition. My game also has a 1% crash rate which has been accounted for. Imperfection is what make us human.
>>500408260Steam and smoke is a good idea, thanks (the rest are in the small details gen but didn't think of having steaming vents good for dynamic imagery)
>>500407687>While still playing themI distinctly remember that the biggest criticism aimed at this literal who was that she didn't portray the games she complained about accurately in the first place.In particular, I remember an article about how Lara Croft didn't put on a jacket in snow levels because male gaze or something when she actually had different outfits in-game, at least for Tomb Raider 2 and 3.
>>500406083I hate women so much it's unreal. Listening to women has been a disaster for human civilisation
>>500408797and absurd claims like saying you earn extra points in Hitman for killing strippers, when it's the exact opposite. She got a ridiculous amount of Kickstarter money to make her youtube critique series, they were all terribly researched and she even stole game footage from LP channels.

>>500409727>random character enters public domain>"m-m-m-m-m-meme????????"you don't need to get it
>>500409727It's because gen Z and now gen Alpha are having a "retvrn to christianity" counterculture movement created by my little dark age edits. gen Z and gen Alpha are also 100% in on anime brainrot (because American comics suck) so all the kids are going crazy on twitter and tiktok, basically.

What's Steam's take on friends reviewing the game you release? Can I use my friends to get to 10 reviews on day one?
>>500410390hopefully they tell their friends
>>500410968>Don’t attempt to abuse or artificially manipulate the review system.Source: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews
>>500411051it's not artificial if you send keys to your friends and they all like the game.It would be artificial if you send a large quantity of keys to random indians who are paid to do this service.
>>500411168To prevent that specific type of artificial manipulation of the review score, reviews from free keys do not count towards it.
>>500410390Sounds like the people who like it are getting good hours from it. Means you got something right. It could very well still turn around if some popular tuber picks it up.
>>500410390Post your playtime distribution plot. How healthy does Steam say your 1hr drop-off is?
