Realistically, can a solodev make an RTS?
>>501687057solo dev can only be successful with pixel shit
YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWN
Trying to make music feels like trying to describe color to a blind person.
Am I the only one who thinks the giant size and resolution of modern screens is a massive hindrance to indie games?
>>501687115warcraft 2 is pixel shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GMiEc4yTDkCris has made more games than 99.9% of agdg.
>>501687335also the worst RTS in existence
>>501687335it's shit. The quality test for a RTS is empire at war
>>501687390ive seen this before and all of his games are just>i made a thingynone of them have that it factor or hook that makes them unique
>>501687057You can.The question is, are you strong willed enough?
>>501687395that's not true at all
>>501687057single or multi player? if single the AI part might be challenging but otherwise it should be doable
>>501687057Can you make one? Absolutely. Can you make one of a quality comparable to market competitors and make more than minimum wage for your time spent? Probably not.
>>501687584I have beaten every single mission. It is a fucking abhorrent RTS, and an abhorrent game in general
>his game doesn't feature character customization
>>501686902Reminder that janitor applications are open if you're tired of Eric schizo shiting up the thread:https://www.4chan.org/janitorapp
>>501686902even with that giant ogre on screen my eyes immediately went to the wolfpack shieldmuh childhood
>>501687831
>>501687202Have a game with a locked resolution and tell ultrawide and 4k people to get fucked. So many indie games do this now that I don't think it's even weird anymore.
>>501686902oh, its a collarlast thread i thought it was a hanging scar
ok you have ten seconds to explain to me why you have less than 1,000 views a day on your socials especially your game's pageGo.
>>501688617i have adhd
>>501686902>become game dev>acquire tall mommy trans gfI want that dream
>>501688760im all for trans women are women but oh god that's one UGLY woman
you guys have no idea how much i'm restraining myself to not go on a doompost spree
>>501688617I don't have socials yet!
>>501688867take hrt, worked for me
>>501688797seen uglier ones.I would tap that any day.
Fab dev here, so wanted to give a heads up that epic started sending emails to enter into the upcoming sale, I almost didn't get one because I'm not subscribed to their marketing despite being registered as a dev, stupid as hell.
>>501688867yeah keep it to yourself
Working on card use during battle. Not a lot of progress since the last time I posted, been very busy wageslaving.
>>501689102Nah nigga I don't trust you, post belly.
Do we like mazes in level design?
>>501689197this is the third megaman clone I have seen here, will it finally be the one which gets finished?
>>501689281Depends>10 dead ends and one has a single gold coin as "reward" for exploringNo thanks
>>501688760>>501688797>>501689102>>501689225this tranny talk has nothing to do with amateur game development, fygoon was right the barone schizo really pollutes the thread with offtopic garbage every single day like it's his job, i cant fathom what kind of dreg is behind the screen
>>501689295I've been here for years and never finished a game, so chances are not in my favor. But I will try.
>>501689425post game
>>501689197Hey keep it down with your progress we're talking about the tranny taking pictures with my parasocial obsession (Eric Barone), talk about Eric, trannies or fuck off to discord you fucking yesdev
>>501688760I'm a tall trans woman. Where's your game?
>>501687831game?
I need delusion because at this point it feels pointless trying. It feels like even the remote possibilty of /making it/ won't make me happy
i know that some of you are short. short people like to work for themselves bc they get cheated out of promotions.
So far the font selection fits very well, I wanted to get it out of the way before doing anything else with setting up the UI in the future.
>>501687973whoever takes one for the team and cleans up this toilet will be a national hero
hot take: people triggered by the ericposter are infinitely more annoying and thread derailing than him
>>501690842I disagree, there is a 10 reply chain about the tranny in the op that says it all.
>>501633831you forgot the inner circle coomdevs
>>501690842I think both sides are just as bad as each other
>>501691032If you do I'll add a Soviet Alice ref to my game, I was already thinking of stealing that humanoid flower design for an enemy.
It's over.
>>501688617I don't have socials.A steam page and itch page are not socials.
>>501691032If you ban all the bocci posters and then you also stop avatarfagging, I'll actually start respecting you a tiny bit. But honestly I think you're too retarded to do a good enough job to not get fired by the mods
hot take: people triggered by the fygoon are infinitely more annoying and thread derailing than her
>>501691540he says this while using female pronouns for a grown man
are there any good resources for learning video game networking?
>>501683410someone's gotta write the storyare you gonna do that?>>501684449something about the gradient on the font and the red make it unreadable at a glance
>>501691821Just attend local meetups.
>>501684449Thumbnail looks like a dick.
>>501691613Fygoon is a woman until proven otherwise. She has all the trademark women behaviors and hasn't had a single manly take on any topic. She's probably fat and ugly, which is why she constantly needs to seek attention on an anonymous forum. Also, at least one of the ericposters is a woman.
even games made with soul flop now you know what japanese devs feel like
>>501691925i mean for multiplayer games, not for meeting ppl.
>>501692037This tard is even more delusional than people who think they gonna make it with gamedev in 2025.
>>501692134>sidescroller number 157236329
I have 3 left over keys I want to get rid of. How do you guys usually get rid of them?
>>501692234Whatever you say, woman.
>>501692273I'll take one if it's a steam key
>>501692253SHUT UP YOU JOYLESS KEK
>>501692134A lot of jap devs have failed to adapt to the modern market. Most of them have no clue how to sell a game in Steam.
>>501692253ackshually this was made in the 90s and it was an rpg. the game flopped so hard but the director still kept at it and became whats known today as VanillaWare.
>>501692389Homosexual men exist, the Eric schizo is a homosexual stalker and a covid tourist, no one here cared or posted about ecelebs before covid fyi.
>>501692476tbf they make games for consoles, pc gamers are a different breed. pc games are more involved physically. they want player freedom and engagement over anything. japs make more linear focused games.
ok, you have 30 seconds to explain to me why you have no skills to do something mildly entertaining
>>501692134I wonder if princess crown art style is doable for a 1ma. It's basically modern vanillaware puppetry but with pixel art.
The one common feedback all the DD players gave Planets For Sale was that the tutorial was way too wordy. Focused on cutting it down, ended up eliminating 70 lines of dialogue leaving 31 total. Any suggestions or resources on further tightening dialogue?
>>501692721only if its a jap with good taste. it would take an an ungodly amount of hours and im sure someone died in the process of making this game.
>>501692721alsonot as good but a solodev spent years of his life working on owlboy. he said he does not recommend this path.
>>501692696That might've been the case historically but PC has a surprisingly big audience for Japanese games and more and more of them are getting released on Steam.
>>501692648Sure, but there are way more women on the internet than there are homosexual men. I think /agdg/ severely underestimates how woman infested this place is.
>>501689425Sorry anon I won't derrail the thread any longer

I just remembered that Jinx lost a finger. It's such a strange narrative choice. Why just a finger?
>>501698069To show that she was in actual danger, but i doubt they'll keep it up, they will pull some retcon that will bring her finger back, specially since it left a blue trace and the hex stuff that was going on
is there a general for porn game development or h-game? i need some feedback for what i have currently.
>>501698265None that i know of in here, you can check on the 2D Hentai Games General /hgg2d/ over at /vg/, but otherwise you'll have to go to /hgg/ on the bunker to find a lewd games development thread
>>501698472thanks i havent tried hgg yet but hgg2d told me to fuck off last time i tried
>>501698592Kind of amusing,but yeah your best bet is at the bunker of hgg in 8 chan/kun/something else, it's barely active, but there are some people tehre
>>501697418obsessed with ecelebs, what a life
>>501691534>gets to be banned 10 times in a row for spamming his avatar while also being insufferable faggot>lets make him a jannyI don't think you understand in what flavor of shit you're gonna be put through.
>>501699332Actually he started posting that cartoon because janny did nothing about eric schizo and bocchi posters, if anything it makes perfect sense.
>>501697418There's a fallacy in Blow's argument. Wall Street money may be more reliable, but the barriers of entry are way higher. For some of the outsiders like us, the chances of making in game dev may actually be higher than the chances of getting an entry level Wall Street job.

>>501698472seconding not going going to /hgg2d/ if that anon is still here. Not only is for jap games, that general is gatekept really well and will eat you alive you try to shill there. Wait till an h game thread shows up on /v/ instead
>>501700136>2D Hentai Games General?
>>501700081Not true, because skills do not transfer perfectly between fields. Blow himself probably would not be able to get a Wall Street job.
I shall reinvent pinball games
>>501699807>Wall Street money may be more reliable, but the barriers of entry are way higher.Maybe if you literally want to work on wall street but trading itself is something you can do from home and way easier than gamedev.
Posting progress!
>>501699776So in turn decided to be worse than all of them? I don't mind ericposting, the same as I don't mind cuppaposters, quotefag or pepeposters. What most anons do here is posting stuff related to gamedev, Fygoon's only interaction with aggy is annoyance, he deliberately annoys everyone while also posting his russian cartoons. He's doing it so much that he could even give a positive feedback, I wouldn't consider it noteworthy. The worst part is he is delusional enough to consider himself without a fault, no matter if you're talking about his antics, his 'game' or online personality in general. I can take marmo's whining about lack of confidence, I can't stand a faggot showing his shitty unity project claiming it's the best thing in the world.

Why is using generative AI bad? It allows me to do things I wouldn't be able to otherwise.>inb4 it's soullessHow is it any more soulful than commissioning some twitter monkey to draw the thing for you or for some fiverr asshole to half-assedly speak into a microphone?
>>501702886In other words you're too stupid to make that decision.
>>501702886I have no idea what you mean.
>>501703052It's not necessarily inherently "bad," but it's incredibly easy to make low quality material if you're not careful, and there is a flood of people making low quality material, which has damaged the tool's reputation.To make an analogy, yeah, you can use a camera and take a picture of something instead of hiring an artist to draw a sketch of something, but if you're not good at photography and not careful about it, then it's very easy to take ugly photos.

>>501706863What's going through your head, asking a question like that? Can't you just be honest and ask the question you're trying to without the smoke and mirrors?
>> Game Idea (New Project)Kind of burned out on my main project and want to do a quick 2-3 month side project. I had an idea and want to get some feedback and thoughts.Premise: You start as a ghoul at the bottom of a cave. As you explore the cave, you encounter rats, bats, spiders, snakes, bugs, etc., which you can fight and kill. When you leave the cave, you encounter burrows / bases of humans or magical monsters, who all want to kill you (and they kill each other). You have the choice of destroying monster bases to save humans or kill humans to let the monsters run rampant. Type: ARPG-roguelikeGame mechanics/Hooks:1. Killing a creature gives you xp and the option to consume it. Consuming a creature gives a small stat increase based on the creature you consumed (eg. rat will give you speed, but reduce strength). When you level up, you get the option of three skills / passives based on the monsters you killed during that level (eg. killing bats will give you wings to move faster or killing snakes will give you a poison attack). 2. Combat is a similar system to Oni (by Bungie Studios). WASD is cardinal movement, but W and Left click is a forward light attack, W and jump is a leaping forward jump, A and right click is a spinning kick etc. So combining various cardinal directions and attacks will lead to combos and new attacks. These are also modified by weapons, eg. W and light attack with a sword is a forward thrust, while W and light attack with a club is a forward swing. 3. Completing achievements unlocks new weapons, combos, monsters etc. 4. When the player dies, they find themselves back in the cave with their xp and skills reset, but all their achievements stay intact. The overworld (outside the cave) is static terrain with procedurally generated villages, monsters, trees, etc. The burrows / bases are randomly generated each time the player dies. Each one is a mini dungeon (eg. like Valheim crypts / caves).Thoughts?

>>501701257Whether you're triggered by shartgoon's antics or not is irrelevant here, janny should clean it all up including your parasocial schizo friend. On top of that we shouldn't encourage a fucking stalker, he's the reason some yesdevs don't post here anymore, I hope he gets doxxed sooner than later hell I'd send a tip to the feds myself considering how obsessed he is, people like that are unironically dangerous.
>>501707235Is that from some asset demo?
>>501707450Just a generic ARPG image I found online. Probably not the aesthetic I'm going for.
>>501707235the hook didnt get me though im not the type of player that wants to roleplay as some ghoul or add. it seems like a large project for just 2-3 months of dev time
I played the Cosmic Call demo, and while the main gameplay loop feels good, there are some issues that were apparent pretty quickly.>Guns dont automatically reload when they reach 0 ammo, so often times after i killed something and then repositioned and tried to shoot something else i just ended up reloading. >there isn't really any visual distinction between anything, enemies, world objects and pickups all kind of have the same look to them, the exception being the buffs the bosses drop. >melee weapons feel pretty terrible to use, especially with the amount of damage you take from shit.>no clear objective, i couldnt really figure out what the point was. i guess its a roguelike, but it seems like you can leave each level well before everything is killed, and i couldnt tell if anything I did in the previous run impacted what weapons I got at the start of the next>the reward part between levels where you get a buff and a gun is pretty big, and the first few times i didnt even realise there were rewards, seems odd you can leave the level before interacting with them.just from the 30 minutes or so I played, it felt like the rapid fire weapons that hit scan and dont push you back by far felt better than most to use, if I got one of those and also a heavy weapon it felt much better than getting gimmick weapons or 2 low ammo, slow weapons, and getting 2 melee weapons felt like absolute shit.also I learned there was a wall jump mechanic because i got a buff that allowed me to do it 2 more times. otherwise I had no idea there was a wall jump, and i didnt even really jump anway.Although I really do like the aesthetic of this game, i just think it could use a little work on visual clarity.
>>501684449you definitely need to redo that logo, the name blends in with the background color and makes it hard to read.>>501686902i think i won't be hosting booths in game conventions for my game in america, not unless i reveal how much i dislike lgbt. how should one handle these types of fans should your game become a success? and assuming you decide to reveal your identity.>>501692134that game looks like it belongs on a handheld, gives donkey kong vibes. it doesn't help that the game looks like the same gameplay i believe many games have

>>501707616You don't stay a Ghoul. You slowly evolve into whatever you are eating. Eat a lot of rats and you become a Wererat, eat a lot of skeletons / bones, you become a lich, eat a lot of goblins you become a hobgoblin, etc. Also, eat humans and you become a vampire / dhampir / succubus (eat a lot of female humans). The idea is you become what you consume. >>501708618>>501707616I'm thinking I just do the initial cave / tutorial, about 3 monsters (rats, snakes, spiders), three evolutions and the combat / combo system with some achievements, then throw it onto itch.io to see the feedback.

hello, I'm from >>501498739 . Economic simulation was changed quite a lot. Star systems have their own economy now - no more galactic empires, at least for the time being. They now correctly separate real and planned values for both inventory and money. So no more spending money they already promised another trader. Economic simulation much more stable now

morning
>>501718934cool stuff, ever played EVE online?
>>501718934pretty interesting but I wasn't really into 4X games.Still, how do you calculate the price and demand? I'd say this system should be pretty robust, as high demand in meth shouldn't immediately increase the price tenfold. What about the calculations for the ships and costs of travel? If a system wants to buy something and another system wants to sell it,you still need to take the distance into the consideration, right? Right now it runs pretty fast so I don't understand the details. Do you have a system of bidding who will pay the highest price/who will undercut and sell for the lowest? How are the negotiations between systems handled?

There are a number of commodities as you can see. Each system either produces or consumes those at certain rates. Pricing is absolutely scuffed, almost entirely based on current inventory. This will need to be completely overhauled regardless of the direction. I'm mostly happy this basic system is running and actually driving the ships. I'm gonna expand the logic big time going forward. I'm an experienced c++ dev so I'll make sure things keep running fast. I don't worry on that end. Pathing is correct with dijkstra at its core

i spent years talking to nobody other than my gf and now i'm trying to find myself again. whatever i naturally did before, i gave up on, because ofc women don't like things men like.it's almost like i'm waking up from a slumber and have to figure out what i even want to do with my days.i basically gave up all my interests to be likable. maybe that's why i'm so deeply depressed the last 2-3 years.and now she even lost sexual interest in me. wanting to be liked by women is really a steep road downhill for a man.

retry on logo i think its much better, attempted to get some of the grittiness the reference has, still seems off
I'm here to steal all your ideas
>>501724714
>>501725136it looks good in technique, but my eyes buzzout and have a hard time reading it. I can get that it's ferulorum after a bit, but since that word seems made up, it's confusing. I think it's all the 'triangle peaks' like the e r u o r u and m all have these light blue triangles at the top.
>>501725136Your reference is a shitty ancient, outdated design for print and CRTs. There are too many pixels on your monitor in 2024 for that to look good. Add a stroke to the font at minimum.
>>501724548>he pretended to be someone else and got a gf>then he stopped pretending and lost his gfJust b urself, retard.
>>501725671Print is still higher DPI than your monitor
>>501725168ababa ba baba aba
>>501686902I hate making visuals so much. Even using pre-made assets sucks.Would people buy a game that's purely text? Or maybe with some ASCII art at most?
>>501725168Good, there is no way I am finishing this game
>>501725915Print isn't nearly as accurate as modern LED pixels are. Every print "pixel" kind of blends in with its neighbors. It's also not just the font, but the letters in the name themselves. Ultima doesn't have any weird consecutive letters, but what the fuck is a femlomm.

Is getting a loan to finance your game a bad idea?I don't have very many ways to go about funding quickly, so I was thinking of getting around 10k USD as a Paypal Business Loan, then paying it back over time.Am I treading into dangerous territory here, or do any of you have experience with this?
>>501726996no government grants available at all? a loan is a terrible idea unless your game is already popular(like the demo etc)
>>501711753why would you clone that shit?
>>501727250*and if it's popular then you'd be better off with kickstarter
>>501726791SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>501726996>I don't have very many ways to go about funding quicklythen I guess you don't have very many ways of repaying that money easilydon't fuck your life, anon
>>501727250Can Americans even get government grants for games?
>>501726996Don't listen to the nay sayers. It's a great idea, you should do it. The bigger the loan the better because you'll have more money to spend making your game even better, and the lingering thought of having to pay it back will make you work harder.

Today I debugged my game
>>501728126nice. I bugged mine.
>>501725497it is a made up word, ill play with kerning and capitalization and see if i can make it more readable
>>501728019>video games>art
>>501728159did you try unbug it?
>>501722851You'll be disappointed because all the best marketing techniques require money, not a lot of money, but a you'd need $1000 minimum.(Pay youtubers/streamers, buy ad space, buy ads on youtube/snapchat/instagram)It's really not rocket science, find keywords that are trending, whatever flavor of the month, buy ads on those keywords.Ads are all about conversions. If you pay $3 or $4 per conversion, you can sell your $10 game and make about $3 profit after you lose 30% to whatever market you sell it on.I saved you $325, you're welcome.
>>501725136You're copying it too closely without trying to make it your own. It's still shit to read. Ultima logo somehow reads better but it's not exactly great either. I'd say go for a lesser contrast in the font gradient. The big contrast makes it hard to pick up the shapes of the letters and the font being a complex one makes it more difficult.
>>501726996>Is getting a loan to finance your game a bad idea?Yes.Work a job if you need an income to support dev. Taking a loan with no guarantee you can pay it back is just dumb.
>>501728256I unbugged a bug and found another bug to unbug, I'm buggered.
>>501721638Looks good (I loved ss tricky), how did you get the trails working so well? I struggle with them
>>501728343ok i see what you mean ill rework it

It's literally impossible to be dieting and gamedev at the same time, it requires way more energy than regular programming for some reason.

>>501721638Gameplay is on point, my only crux is that the music need to be high tier too
>>501728925>it requires way more energy than regular programming for some reasonyou are actually using your brain thinking of solutions for new problems, that rarely happens when coding professionally
>>501725136I think it's starting to look good. It would benefit from having more defined shadows around the bottom of the letters to lift them off the background and a greater amount of white to sell the idea of reflectivity. Here's a shitty mockup of what I mean.
>he doesn't know that eric visits the inner circle discord

Seriously though, why does /agdg/ have such a problem with AI? This is AMATEUR game dev general, it's NORMAL for amateurs to NOT have any money to hire people, and a lot of them don't have a good skill either. Game development is a multifaceted endeavour, and getting good enough at a hundred different things is not easy. Amateurs have used various shortcuts since the dawn of time, yet this particular tool is suddenly a problem. I just don't understand.
Can someone who hasn't had fun in years even make a fun game anymore?
>>501729631You can't exercise your way out of being fat. Or you can if you do the best exercise: sitting in front of the fridge and not opening it

>>501729959>I just don't understand.The desire to do everything on your own is a core part of the Faustian spirit. If you're not white you won't ever get it, so don't worry about it.
>>501730152how many of your favorite games were made by one person?
>>501730152>The desire to do everything on your own is a core part of the Faustian spirit.And then you have a thousand burn-outs and a million unfinished projects. At some point you have to realise that you can't do everything yourself, unless you're a wunderkind, which you're 99% not. And you will always be limited in what you can do with such an approach.
I know roguelikes are similar but are there any games that copy the structure of zelda randomizers as the main game?
>>501730324>And then you have a thousand burn-outs and a million unfinished projectsDragging yourself through burnouts and hardship is a part of the Faustian spirit. Again, you're not going to get it, so don't bother concerning your limited brainpower with our way of life.

>>501729959I'm a temporarily embarrassed pro gamedev, AI hurts my future prospects.
Does it sometimes bother you guys that indie games deviate too much towards commercialism, like the focus is on comfy art and nostalgia bait? While most games that try to create a great story and narrative seem to deviate towards pretentiousness, especially if the dev has no life experience.
making it as a gamedev was my only chance of success and now that that is gone my life is basically over
>>501730983there's always the next game
>>501729959It's called "pattern recognition". Nothing inherently wrong with AI, but it's being used as a crutch for talentless hacks who just want to earn a quick buck. Same with porn - porn game may be good, but at this point it's probably another rpg maker pedo rape slop made for paypiggies at patreon. It's safe to avoid.
>>501730887The trend I don't like is>make a small scoped, very polished game>make bank>make a second game that tries to be AA>crash and burn
>>501730887Why would I be bothered with what types of games other people like? I'm not a teenager, I'm comfortable with what I enjoy and I don't need validation from others. They can play whatever they want.
>>501731019i realized that i don not have what it takes to make a game people would enjoy/buythat passion, creativity, inspiration and vision is simply not available to me, for various reasons
didn't some guy here get a 50k loan to finish his game?
>>501730983I think it's crazy how there are amateur gamedevs who can't succeed at anything else, but they think they can succeed at gamedev. Gamedev is literally one of the hardest things you can do with your life. If you can't even do easy things, why the fuck do you think you can do something as hard as gamedev?
>>501730452Post your successful Faustian spirit game then.
>>501731057The trend is actually>make a game>get lucky>make another game>not get luckyThe rest is just your own confirmation bias
>>501731173Tricky Madness dev is something like 40k+ in credit card debt.
>>501731180because success in arts and entertainment is 100% due to luck
>>501731180i have never had a job and i did not finish going to the school because of social reasons, sitting on the computer is the only thing that i a little bit know how to doi could not learn how to drive a car, and that's too expensive to have one anywaysso yes, making a game is the only "opportunity" i have if you can call it that, because i damn well can't get a "real" job, like working in a store or driving somewhere, because i can barely leave my own house, i am that much socially shut in
>>501731129Better than dev 10y for a game and then reach your same conclusions. Dev is like wanting to be an astronaut when you are 10yo, you really dunno what the road to be there looks like, also what's their real day to day life
>>501731247I will once it's finished!
>>501731253so the trick is to just make 1 gamesee>notch>eric
>>501729959The real answer is that nocoders are mad their domain is easier to replace with AI. AI can write code of course, it's just harder to integrate into a game than AI art if you aren't already okay at coding
>>501731573Well, this is the AMATEUR general, surely you have something to post, don't you?
>>501731414literally me except i have a license but i go nowhere
>>501731291The Robert Kirkman of /agdg/....
>>501731104> Why would I be bothered with what types of games other people like? I am not really bothered by what they like. I am more bothered that Indie's seem to cater towards what people like instead of creating or experimenting with something new. But i don't blame them, you spend years making something and ofc you want it to succeed. I know it's risky.
>>501731045>first thing that comes to mind is porn

:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Cutscene 30 will show up characters that didn't show up in other cutscenes. The kind you'd probably get if you've stumbled upon them ingame and maybe checked the art.
>>501729959In dev case it's autism, in drawing case is fear. It's a general sense of "it's cheating", but no where there are a set rules to dev that we all must comply. Some dev alone, some in group, "it's not fair"; some buy asset, some pay mercenaries, it's not fair. Enginedevs feel that who uses an engine "is cheating" but since that kind of autism reveals your power level, nobody dare to say it.I wanna cook a pot roast, my first pot roast; no way in hell a sane person would suggest me to build an oven, and raise a chicklet.You are devvin your fist game and need some art or music to test your prototype, there is no fault to use ai. You wanna release a game with ai material, just click a box on your steam page. People will shit on you, but since AAA/shit wood is goin to implent ai soon that will go away.
>>501731869Have you considered that a lot of people, including amateur gamedevs, enjoy popular genres. They're not "catering" to anyone in particular. They're just making games that they enjoy. Not everyone is some contrarian terminally online /v/tard.When I'm hungry and I walk into my kitchen, do is my first thought to experiment? No, it's to cook whatever I'm used to cooking, so that I can eat what I'm used to eating. Most people just want more of the same of what they know they enjoy.

>>501731869>I am more bothered that Indie's seem to cater towards what people like instead of creating or experimenting with something new.Because making a game "just for me" is a shit excuse to dev a shitty game.Many failures of agdg follow this death sentence

>>501732832Since when was art not a business?
>>501732446He probably won't though, right? Any food will taste amazing to a starving person, even a shit one.
how often a day is existential dread supposed to set in
>>501732832video games are "art" in the same way that people who churn out shitty wall decorations on Etsy and Redbubble are "artists". It's possible to approach art from a purely business angle, but obviously it's going to have an impact on the quality of the end product. It's also possible to approach art from an angle fueled purely by passion and love for the process of creation, but that will likely have an impact on the economic feasibility of the end product, assuming that's something the artist even cares about.

>>501733209art has like 50 diferent meanings.It's basically a buzzword to mean creative human outpút.It's really a word with so many diferent meanings as to be a worthless word.
>>501733020depends on why he is starving.>i remember when people used to eat actual food and not literal shit>man i refuse to eat literal shit instead of food>man this sucks there's barely any food to go around
>>501719649cute, what types of vegetables he eats ?also, how is your texturing process ?
>>501733260Look at the context of that data, don't just take it at face value (like Zukowski does because he doesn't play games). 4X games make the most money on average because there's far less of them, but the few established series like Civilization rake in all the money. You could make a great 4X game as an indie, but at the end of the day you're still competing against that powerhouse of the genre.

>>501733706>Cris thinks he has a say in what is and isn't artCris' art is better than whatever dogshit you're making>Tear out your brainstem, walk into the busiest four-way intersection in your shithole, and skip rope with it, Cris.WAAAAH WHY DOES NOBODY LIKE MY GAME AFTER I WAS A HUGE INSUFFERABLE FAGGOT
>>501688172But how does nyat nyaffect nya
>>501733706No retard.My point is that art has diferent meaning to diferent historical context that you need to define which context your using.Art has magical meaning, such as early art or primitive art.Art has a religious meaning, such as medieval or arabic art.Art has a meaning of skill/craft, such as in the reinaissance.Art has a meaning of beauty, such as in rococo and baroque.Art has a meaning of emotion, such as the romantic periods of victorian era.Art also has an originality and novelty meaning, such as XX century art movements.Art also is a means of self expression, as in child art, outsider art and author cinema.Art also has a political propaganda meaning, as in nazi and comunism art.Art also has a revolutionary meaning, as the zine punk movement.Art is also a tool to create conciousness among the public, as the enviromental art, documentaries and journalism of war.Art is also a tool to provide social criticism, as some musicians like ruben blades do.Art is also a leisure entertainment hobby such as manga or anime.Art can also be pornography.Art can also be a social status symbol, like fashion design, interior design or the fine arts.
Working on getting thinner loops to work in my engine. Wide loops work perfectly fine, if you line the boost pad up. I 100% understand why Sonic Adventure's loops were so fucked up.
>>501733415and yet it's still a more accurate descriptor than "fun"
every game you dont make gives aaa studios more power
>>501734342Not trying to be overly mean but why does the character look like that?
>>501734424Fun has a proper definition.Fun is related to skill learning, at least biologically.We have fun, because the activity puts us in the ZONE.Which is a similar state of conciousness as drawing or playing music.That's basically what art is.To be in the ZONE.
>>501732237hold on
>>501733873Sorry, i meant a godot timer. Can i do a time bonus/malus? I want to change a cooldown based on if the projectile was wasted

>>501734485Cause he's a little rubber-hose cartoon man. I dunno.

>>501734342I've seen your posts and seems very fine gameplaywise. That chara needs to go thou. Use something whacky ala crash, cute like original sonic or banjo; something sexy (or just a little girl but care for pedos), or cool like adult sonic

my ubisoft boss told me to shill nodeving on this board to derail competition. they dont want more factorios to happen.
>>501735041actually no.There's like 6-7 player taxonomies.Competitive players seek competition and bragging rights after doing something dificult to pull off skill wise.Explorers seek the novelty of finding hidden sutff in levels.Socializers seek to socialize with others.Creatives seek to express their own tastes and personality with shit like interior design, level editors or character editors with costumes.Collectors, seem to like doing 100% of a game, or archievements.Strategist love shit like RPS macro autismo.Storytellers love the narrative and character drama of games.There's even shit like puzzle lovers.

>>501734679Retard, your "definition" of art is nothing but a loose collective of buzzwords compiled by reading nothing but the summary paragraphs of different Wikipedia articles. Art has no tangible definition, for it is a representation of one's personal worldview created to the best of his abilities; the best way I can define art could be a work that inspires others to see the world as you see it, be it a painting, an opera, a novel, or a computer game.Besides, you use AI because you view it as a "shortcut" so all of your arguments on art are rendered moot; what's the point of creating something if you don't have a hand in the process? Your idiotic steadfastness will cause you to ignore everything I have said prior so I leave you with this: KILL YOURSELF, CRIS.

throne and liberty made me realize that i don't like good graphics. same with counter-strike 2.i kinda like visual clarity.i mean i'm not totally put off by good graphics, but throne of liberty even turns me off.also i don't want my gpu to use max power non-stop for hours. just to play some basic time-waster loot rpg.for a horror game or simulation it might make sense for immersion though.
>indie online gameI think subcription would be the only way to keep it running
i make little progress, but i keep working on my game. step by step. i gave myself a promise, to not try hard anymore and instead focusing on commitment. i will see how it works out. 11 more months until i make a final judgement if this strat works. 1 month passed already and progress has been decent, but nothing overwhelming.worked on a lot of small projects over the years but never committed to one, so it's my only hope right now that this strat finally works.
>>501736786No, I just type using stream of conciousness and don't check for typos because I don't care 4chincel is properly written.
>>501736662I only post my game on /v/, shitpost on /vg/, and show my support for devs I like such as the guy developing Yours to Conquer (awesome dude, BTW, I can see why you all have hate boners against him).At least I don't use another guy's name to play out my inner roleplays.

Need ideas for fast game projects I can make. Something more arcadey than a full fledged game.So far, I've done:-Twin stick shooter-Moto racing (idk the true genre, it's the game type where you try to drive as long as possible while avoiding obstacles)-Galaga/Space Invaders type of game-2D Platform (just one level)This is mostly for practice and finishing projects rather than something I'd like to release.So yeah, any help or suggestions is appreciated, my goal is to complete 7-10 of these by the end of december. I've already finished the 4 I listed in around a month, so I think I can meet this goalThanks :)

Progress - already used dialogue options are now greyed out to not overwhelm the player. I'm also considering automatically moving them to the bottom of the dialogue choices.Still debating whether I should just give up on this clue system and get back to the traditional crpg branching dialogues.But now it's time to get rid of the placeholder textures and make a proper foxgirl instead of an UE mannequin.>>501722417It's pretty clear, but if you really want to retard proof it - you can make the lines from the Instructor to the required UI elements more consistent - I noticed that sometimes they appear, but sometimes the user just has to find the small red rectangle on their own (I think it was the case when I was building the ship).Cute interaction with the ship engineers crew. Oh, and I love the background art for planets.

>>501745768unless each of those elements has distinctly different, thematically related playstyles, counters, and synergies rather than just being a different colored projectile, they're redundant. i say focus on making one fireball and one ice bolt that feel really good to play and interact immersively with the world rather than 87 different elemental damage forms that are all the same.

>>501745363Well, the big bad is going to be a fat, geriatric Dracula who has recently been resurrected, as well as his castle. He is is sucking up the life energy of the land to regain his youth, and kills the two main character's (Ellie and Osh, Osh being the character you have seen) prized petunias in the process. They don't know who Dracula is, but they know that their new neighbor in the fancy castle killed their flowers, so they go off to give Dracula a piece of their mind. The game takes place in Dracula's magical castle, with the refrigerator leading to an Ice Mountain level, the bath leading to an ocean level, the green house leading to a Jungle level, etc. the enemies will all be based on horror films, but made cutesy, like a little skeleton being the goomba stand in, and a Frankenstein's Monster that works like Boom-Boom in Mario. The game will be like "What if Mario could run really fast and up on walls" as opposed to "what if Sonic could do acrobatics".

>>501751034this game probably sucks. You should be lynched and electrocuted for false advertising. An unassuming customer sees this image and thing "DAMN nigga I love Thief!" but your game is probably more like King's Field or Chrono Trigger (garbage)

I'm watching football when I should be devving. Life is better this way. My game has become a chore. I'm so close to giving up.
>>501751870just work less. dont give up. win in snails pace. actually by giving up your create even more pressure on you, cause now you have to start something new from scratch again. if you keep working on one thing in snails pace it'll feed you at some point.

Why are you ovepricing your game?Give me one good reason you do it.

>>501759947Crab mentality, if there is room to improve himself, we should tell him so he turns better and not complacent
>>501760163So you think that he is crabbing himself with the excuse 'it's just an hobby, I don't care if someone doesn't like it?'
>>501760363No, you can't crab yourself, i he puts that excuse that's up to himself, but for others to step in and try to prevent any criticism, is a crab mentallity, it devolves into the sort of hugbox that halts the progress of those inside of it

>>501760556You're being very transparent
give me one good reason you game has failed to gain any traction
>>501760674Because it's unreleased.
>>501760538Thanks for making my point, I agree with you. Shielding oneself from criticism with 'I dev for me, it's just an hobby, I won't make slop' are cope mechanisms
>>501760659:P Was this a pun?
>>501760674As a solo developer I lack the time and resources to deliver a product that can compete with the market leaders.

>>501760674Porn game, i rushed it's release due to some circumstances, for thsoe same ones i had to abandon it for like a year plus, but i'm getting back into it

I'm probably being stupid here but how does this work?Most multiplayer coop games I can think of are client-hosted, meaning one of the players is also the host. But these games also take place in one 'map', and you can't really change maps unless you're doing it together. Because it's just way simpler that way.For the sake of example assume this is a game like skyrim where you press E on the door to a house and the main overworld unloads and then you load into the 'house' map. In multiplayer unless you force the whole party to go through a door together you have to keep every map that contains a player loaded at all times. If you can do that where do you physically put those loaded maps? Currently I'm thinking just put them all in one place but change the physics/collision and view layers of the map depending on which player is there, but that also seems stupid. I don't think I can have the host unload all maps that they are not in because the objects that the client is sending updates about need to exist in the host's instance or things won't synchronize.Has anyone dealt with this shit before or is this why games have "YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PARTY TOGETHER BEFORE CONTINUING" popups so they can just move everyone to a new map at the same time?
>>501755527Maybe I misunderstand but I have no problem doing just that after I specify the name with class_name at the top of the file. If you want to access sub-classes from another file you can do so as well with ClassName.SubClass

>>501763816What book is she holding
>>501763190you are stupid
>>501763780Maybe think of it this way: if the players can separate so much as to be on two entirely different maps, then what is even the point of making it co-op?
>>501753850Because if my game goes fotm they'll pay up for it. Id rather get 19.99 than 2.99
>>501763816that doesn't look good sis, the proportions feel right but everything else feels wrong, take a break and do your perspective and form reps instead of wasting time coloring
>>501763816>Anon can't do the difference between crabing and feedback>thinking that making a game that players wanna play is slop. And that suggesting the idea is crabbingMaybe you should apply for a job at naughty dog, they also hate fun

>>501763816Better indeed, i think with a couple of lines to show the rib cage it would convey her figure more. And for extra stuff, since you wanted to make her hips wider you could also make that sort of indent as in teh blue circle, just on the opposite side

i just want to tell i'm starting my 16 hour dev session right now. tasks: ui antichrist rework

>>501764783No, but for non realistic drawings you have to stylize, and also i think i got the red circle location not in the right place, just that he could add a little bit on the other side to convey the large hips like on the left side
>>501764909Imagine being european, when was the last time your kin made a good game
>>501764909whatcha making
>>501746452I assume most just call it a hobby out of cope. They fear failure, so the easiest route is to claim you just did it for fun to ease the potential of failure and what other's might say.For me it's a jobby though I'm sure this game is going to be a flop. Do have several other ideas for another game but I'd rather finish the current game. May be a jobby but I'd rather finish this game after all I did.

Quixel bridge is pretty fucking good, so I was able to import different stuff for models and textures and I like how it came out so far with the cell shading being done. I also added basic pawns with modeling them in blender. it's really basic to look like game pieces, but it works for now. Maybe later they will be replaced, not sure. So far it's going well.
>>501765707Transwiz had all that and still failed
>>501765982>>501765982>>501765982
>>501765353That can still be accommodated within a single map. Just make it big enough to just break line of sight and you can make players feel split up over surprisingly small distances. Again, look at Left 4 Dead. That game was intentionally designed to try to keep players together but they still had to do things like add glowing outlines because it was still too easy for players to feel split up even within those relatively small maps, just from losing line of sight.

>>501719649What is it?
>>501765062Holy fuck, a reasonable mindset.A few tips is to stay as humble as possible for scope, spend as less money/time you can for your 1.0; don't forget to find your players via socialsBTW, of course it's cope. Everyone wants to be a rockstar
Am I crazy for wanting to develop a web game? Any good Javascript game libraries? I'm thinking of using Kaplay.
>>501766925You can make money, but you have to go on certain sites to make any profit unless you self host it and it has to be something cool to run on chromebooks that US schools use. It's not as good as Steam but you can do it. Web game dev is usually faster paced since like mobile gaming, it's all about reachability. But more so since many mobile games got ported to be hosted as web games.And there is nothing saying people won't rip the game and rehost it.
