if you can't play a musical instrument well just by listening to someone else play itif you can't draw well just by watching someone else's drawingswhat makes you think you can be good at game design just by being a gamer?it's a skill like any other and you suck at it because you've never done it.

>>501970565>1024 * 1024you ain't fooling nobody
Let's be real honest here: Eric Barone is a talentless nepobaby who's propped up by media outlets and Microsoft, he's the equivalent of an industry plant in music or Elon Musk in tech.Is it fine to be an Elon Musk fanboy? Is it fine to be a Kpop stan? Maybe, but you shouldn't piss your pants when you're reminded of what those people are in a thread for hobbyists, you have to remember that this thread is about creating SOVL, not industry behemoths making slop.
>>501970962PUBLISHERS NEED MORE GOYS TO GIVE THEM 40% OF SALES. STOP NOTICING THINGS AND TAKE YOUR MEDS.
>he just keeps goingimagine being this triggered by a game developer who found success. what does that say about you?
>>501970853What did she mean by this?
>>501971158I can’t tell if it’s some bit, or the same guy playing both sides. It’s tiresome though. It’s not funny. It’s weird. Un-creative hacks basically. Regardless if it’s real or a troll.
>>501970962funny how none of the "ericbros" who love to reply to every "ericpost" cannot provide multiple rebuttals to this, hmmmm what could this mean???
>>501971074>40% sales>40% taxes>30% feeshobby
>>501971471Mental illness.
I've been taking mushrooms (not the funky drug kind) that are supposed to make your brain better and are scientifically proven for a few months now but I haven't noticed any difference. On a gamedev related note, I've finished making the block out of the room I am now going to model. It's from an existing game but I am doing it to practice my environment art
Daily reminder that anyone can improve at any skill if they put the work.
>>501971620bloody why are you blogposting in the eric barone's fanclub blog? WTFFFF, you need to learn respect bastard sir
>>501971707how did he make it worse with every iteration

>>501971707Yeah but the problem is that no matter how much I improve it's still not enough.

>>501972353must you lolcow every low effort post in this general
>>501972360because my goal is too look like a doujin artist.Not like a concept artist from hollywood.You can still see the technique improves a shitton.>SketchbooksI used paper from printers packs.Dunno how many pages I've drawn, but must be at least a dozen of suck 500 pages packs.
>>501972445you have a problem friend
you can't demoralize me!
Just posted this post, AMA.
>>501972669why
>>501968127nyahh?!
>>501972549>because my goal is too look like a doujin artist.You are not doing a good job then
40 to 60 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 350 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 50 games a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2024HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY
>>501972701I don't have english skills enough to say what I want to say.
Sometimes I side track entire threads with my opinions. And I feel bad, like, this isn't about me. But I just realized, if I don't side track the thread, it returns to it's base form which is AI bitching, Eric bitching, and Cris bitching. I will never feel annoying again. Really, when I go off on tangents and people start posting "Game dev?", I'm saving you all from hack posts.
>>501971707>because my goal is too look like a doujin artist.he might have early onset dementia
years ago when I was in high school there was an actual rumor circulating that the teacher from africa once had a rowdy class and to shut them up he unzipped his pants and his schlong fell out onto the desk and the desk broke in half. That was pretty funny.
Question: How do we solve the Eric schizo problem?
>>501972549>Dunno how many pages I've drawn, but must be at least a dozen of suck 500 pages packs.How many of those pages were figure drawing studies though
>>501973091dude you're staining the thread far more than he is get a grip
>>501973079Someone should make a game about that
>>501971707i respect your ability to keep up this "joke" for 15 years
>>501973229No he’s really not. The Eric bitching is like herpes. It only temporarily goes away, but flare ups occur near daily. The only way to cure it is imo posting your own thought on game dev to get people riled up on your own topic.
>>501973091by not being a lolcow that enables shitty posts by mentioning them and replying to them, 100% of the time, in literally every thread, without fail.you're like a senile old woman complaining about ants but *insists* upon pouring literall jars of honey on the floor, just because. basically a nigger.
>>501973229That's my first post in the thread.

>>501968718I'm sure Fez would still do fairly well even if released in 2024. It has a unique concept that I haven't seen replicated and some nice visuals.Super Meat Boy would crash and burn because Celeste does it better and I think the art style of Braid makes it very unappealing. Like a bad mobile ad.
>>501973479It wasn’t me faggot.
>>501968718fez would be an even greater success of released today
can't be crabbed if I never post my progress, bleh.I'm basically kojima if he posted on /agdg/
>>501973367>>501973479Is there anyone normal left in here? You're all going insane.
>>501973486I’m fairly convinced Blow is a terrible idea guy. He’s carried by his technical skills. And he’s held back DRASTICALLY by his larping as an idea guy trying to convey deep ideas. But his ideas aren’t deep. He must be on the cutting edge, basically making games that normally take a larger, or mid level studio, with his small team.
>>501973619You are the only normal one I'm afraid. Use your power wisely.
I just finished my marketing materials for my game, waiting on steam to approve it all. Hopefully launching in December!

>>501972282Of course. He feels trapped into making another Stardew-type game. It's clear he would rather make action games.

>>501973096a lot were drawinf figures actually.>>501974274my biggest art influence is satoshi urushihara.I also admire, but aren't my own influences is saigado and tosh.I've been trying also lately to start looking up how mika pikasso does color.As for western arists, my favorites are mucha, I also love baroque works.Two years ago I was also looking at occult art in magic books.And yes, I've started to do reference studies lately.
>>501975264how the hell do you market a game? I want more people than just my mom and brother to play it
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Rarely do I draw crying characters.
>>501973486There was a flash game that was like Fez but you played as a star character and you turn the prespective by dragging the screen with the mouse and you could even see the levels in a 3D form.
>>501975242I dunno why these millionaire devs never branch out from their comfort zone after making it big.They have the money to hire people and lead a project.Notch had a cool space idea and then ended up making a Minecraft clone.Toby Fox just made Undertale 2.0.And Eric is just making Stardew 2.0.
>>501975721>Hopoo made RoR 2 and gave up
>>501975405I love mucha very mucha. I've done studies of his work. I get filtered by the time it takes to do the decorative elements though, so I just draw the girls.
>>501975925Risk of Rain 2 is at least 3d. It's a different beast from the first.Plus he made that other game in between.

>>501975721same reason you have a parasocial relationship with those exact devs and keep mentioning them every daythat's human nature (mental illness) i guess!!
>>501976202nice people help nice people. being nasty only gets you solidarity with chuds and chuds hardly buy games they just wait for asmongold (pbuh) or some other eceleb to spoil 100% of the content and never buy the game.

>>501976806To be fair to Silksong, it always felt like a DLC that got way out of hand. Which is apparently true now that I look it up.
>>501976627amateur gamedev generalyou have a board called /v/ to discuss ecelebs irrelevant to us
>>501976806I understand this behavior coming from AAA studios that have to minimize risk but not from indie devs with 10+ million in the bank
>>501976680look up also grid system for graphic design.
>>501977064I don't want to discuss industry stuff with people that know fuck all about game dev or the game industry. (/v/) This is the best place for it. Unironically.
>>501976360Did Asmongold use the word parasocial or something. Why is every NPC using that term lately? Incorrectly I should add.

>>501977331>imagine making 30 million dollars and then spending 30 million on a game that flops
>>501976806>>501977192The actual answer is that it's much easier to add some new art/levels to an existing game and call it a sequel then it is to start from scratch again. Even if the sequels sell like 25% of the original, the time/monetary investment is so low that it remains profitable.
>>501977232it's twitchfag eceleb normie speak, every popular streamer says parasocial now, of course they'll happily larp as your buddy to get donos.
>>501977331>>501977504I don't like Blow but I have a huge amount of respect for the guy. He didn't just shit out a Braid sequel. The Witness was a massive step up in terms of art and tech.

>>501967395https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfoh5FHS5RAImagine using a dead, sterile engine like Unity when Unreal releases update after update with new features.
>>501980212only game>didn't even do that shit for reddit
I noticed that the eric poster has more in common with jblow than eric
>>501980247If you were confident in your choice of engine, you wouldn't be validation-seeking with posts like that.
>>501980130Cool.Needs more juice when you are picking up stuff.It's probably worth thinking about this since the player is going to experience that mechanic 10.000 times by the end of the game.
>>501980247I would 100% use Unreal if it didn't run like complete shite.The only way to get decent performance with UE5 is to turn off all the features they advertise with. i.e. Lumen, Nanite, VSMs
>>501979419Can’t stand this guy overall. But his interview an indie dev series is good. I wish he wouldn’t suck everyone’s cock so fucking hard. But I admit, I enjoyed some of them.
>>501980451Oh I'm confident, I'm simply trying to save any other anons making the wrong choice of choosing Unity.>>501980492Sounds like you didn't use it, parroting what you read online instead. Sad!
>>501980542I wish he would let people talk and didn't interject every 25 seconds. He's bad at interviewing.
>>501980474On my to do list is a damage number style popup that flies around the screen.(Also, there will be noise.)
>>501980247What new features do you fucking need. I always see blue prints as a selling point. Shit makes me fucking sick to even look at and think about. Just give me the UI for decorating my world and that’s all I care about.
>>501980570>Sounds like you didn't use it, parroting what you read online instead.That's why every new UE5 game that comes out has the same complaints.
>>501979016the music I wrote for my game, of coursehttps://youtu.be/EMiA9IpGZFM
>>501980736when an engine is for "every game" 99% of features are bloat.
Why are you retards even arguing about game engines, you're making 2d "games" with sprites moving around ffs.Get a grip hahahah you can use html to do it.
devlogbros
>>501980693I agree. And while I respect that he is brave enough to give advice sometimes he does it too much. Like not every dev needs advice from him. And he’s always hyping up YouTube to people. That makes me sick as well. We don’t need a bunch of gurus making clickbait and selling courses. “How to make 100k before launch! I can teach you how to sell equity/ownership rights of your game in order to get paid a salary! Pay me now!”
>>501978701I have before. It's a massive waste of time.

There's a popular video out showing exactly what went wrong and how the devs could've fixed it. Personally SH2 Remake worked flawless for me but I am on a 4090 to be fair.

I wish I'd looked harder for a job when I was young. Instead I fell for the entrepreneur meme and I thought because it started off alright, it will keep getting even better. Instead it kept getting a bit worse and worse until it was too late to have any kind of career or even a job.I thought I was smart for never even stepping into the wage cage, but in retrospect it ruined my life.Now I make games for survival.
cozy town chiptune soulslike?
>>501981267Yeah Megalights having THOUSANDS of moveable ray-traced lights in a scene with minimal performance impact isn't "interesting". That demo was played on a base PS5, equivalent to a 2060(?) Get a grip that's amazing technology.
>>501981205>There's a popular video out showing exactly what went wrong and how the devs could've fixed it.Nigger that video points to lumen and nanite as being the problem. Which is exactly what I said. Note how every game you posted also uses baked lighting and most of them are UE4 titles.You're so incredibly fucking stupid it's unbelievable. Shut up.
>>501981358lol. Fucking loser.

Unreal has a better render engine, better physics, better world build tools, better animation tools and the new enhanced input system.Obvious Unity has "better performance" when it doesn't offer shit in comparison. Take the exact same game in Unity and it'll compile faster/run better in Unreal, just a simple fact.

>>501981938No, I don't mean performance as in 15 FPS.I mean bad performance in the sense it makes my CPU 99% and my windows to freeze.Unreal makes my PC to freeze because is literally BLOAT upon BLOAT, the engine.

Alright I have a real question. I'm going to seriously start making the layout of my game. To know I've done programming and drawn art at high resolution. I want to import to unity. I hear that Unity Physics is based on 100ppu. So if I leave that at 100ppu, so my art sort of correlate, like if I take up 2 squares, my art should be 200 pixels in that direction. Like 100x200 or whatever. Should I import the art at low resolution like that? Does it ever make sense to import higher resolution art? I guess I'm kind of wondering about allowing zoom. It would be cool if they could zoom in a bit, but then it'll get blurry. Or I could double the ppu to 200, but that might mess up physics? Or just be a bloated game with lots of high res art.
>>501981630I did and got no interviews. No one wants a 40 year old high school graduate with no verifiable work history. It's fucking over. I thought gamedev would save me but the odds are dropping faster than my savings. I'm going to be homeless this time next year, all because I thought earning almost $100k a year at 19 was better than going to college and getting jobs. And it was at first, but life is long and you got to think decades ahead.

>>501981358all it takes is a million for you to be ahead in life.just multiply the amount of money you were supposed to earn, by the years you spent not earning it.lets pretend you were supposed to make 80k a year, but did nothing for 15 years>80,000 * 15 = $1,200,000divide this by your game's price to get sales. let's pretend you're a fag and sell your game at $25 on steam.>1,200,000 / 25 = 48,000 salesyou're a chud so you might not win at this angle. but let's pretend you're meme hit developer, you reach 20 million in sales.>25 * 20,000,000 = $500,000,000no amount of normalfaggot boomer tier wagie faggoty faggot advice will compare to $500,000,000.

>>501982149why isn't it verifiable?
UE Protip: The worst thing you can do is render at native resolution. UE5 is designed to run at between 50-75% native resolution and uses its temporal super sampling to make up for it. This is the biggest mistake I see new UE devs making. The second biggest is having every setting set to Epic when High is good enough in most cases.

>>501983000Hi, I am Benoit Dupuis, Senior Product Manager for UI Toolkit, and I know that producing extensive UI content can often be time-consuming and complex. In Unity 6, we've made significant improvements to UI Toolkit, speeding up the creation of custom UI controls. Developers can now customize how these controls are configured within the UI Builder, making them easier to use. Additionally, our new, fully extensible data binding system further streamlines interface design. I can't wait to see the innovative UIs you’ll create.

>>501980949>makes a 1:1 shorthike clone>why is not selling???
>>501984029okay okay, so basically there's two ways of reaching monetary goals: you either get all the money at once from a single place, or you get portions of the money from different places.The single greatest advantage you have as an indie, is sweat equity. You can effectively enslave yourself and use yourself to get free work done without paying anyone.generally in market I have observed two different kinds of sale: the competitive sale, and the "intrinsic" sale. The competitive sale is the game that is bought because it is "the best". This is almost always occupied by AAA titles, so how are indies making money? They are making money from the second type of sale, the "intrinsic" sale.Indie game generally sell on "vibes" and nothing else. Someone likes the name? they buy. Someone likes the art? they buy. is it edgy? buy. is it cozy? buy. did something explode in the trailer? buy. random gimmick that is cool? buy. Basically every feature of your game exists to appease a specific portion of indie market share, and many of these portions are "anti" another portion of indie, so they oftentimes cancel out. fast paced gamers generally don't like slow games and vice versa. some people buy both, but only if there is a communal incentive. Competitive sales are basically KPIs (key performance indicators) disguised as games, Intrinsic sales are basically "communities" thinly disguised as games.

The vibes I get of this place is that you people wouldn't even be able to get a job delivering coffee to gamedevs, let alone making a game.I want you to do me a favor, go to add/remove programs and hit that unistall button.Then go back to steam and resume playing, you know you want it. You weren't made for this stuff.Go.
I joined the building games in public xitter community a few months ago. It was pretty cool because I was able to gain valuable feedback.I built a game that was finding some success, I guss too much success because someone with 10k more followers than me stole it and even stole the tagline bar-for-bar lol.I'm trying to see it as more motivating than disheartening, but I'm pretty turned off from building in public now...Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I call them out?
>>501986782Real. I'm a fan of his shader arc right now. Though his magic water arc was pretty good.
>>501987070We're at the point now that you could take photographs of real world locations and just spend your entire graphics budget rendering out your character models and achieve photorealism. The hardest part is convincingly compositing the realtime mesh onto the photos.I thought of doing a horror game based in my local neighbourhood as a proof of concept for this but it's a lot of work.
>>501987319I'm afraid of this. Which is why I will only reveal my game when it is 6 months out from release. I get feedback from friends, it's not enough, but I will do early access for further feedback.
When did you realize that making a pixel art game is actually harder?
>>501987319I have experience stealing idea, yes. Great artists steal.
>>501987869I think 3D is harder...
>>501987717Early access doesn’t even really exist. Early access is release. Unless I’m wrong, someone please correct me. But you don’t get two pushes from steam. You get one.
>>501987943Only because it doesn't match the traditional academic workflow taught for sculpting, and good sculpting programs all have a very (((swedish))) price tag.

>>501988732russian or sudaca?
When did you realize you would never make it due to the complete oversaturation of the indie gaming market?
>>501988164For me it's because the data required for 3D graphics is way more complex than 2D pixel art. For 2D pixel art all you need is an array of pixels for the spritesheet and some start/end indexes for the animations but for 3D you have an array of vertex positions, which have tangent directions, which have UV coordinates, albedo maps, roughness maps, metalness maps, normal maps, for animations you an have bone animations, which can have different interpolation methods and might require blending with other animations depending on what effect you need and you might also need vertex animations and if you want effects like fire you will need particle systems...Basically 2D pixel art is one solution for every problem but 3D is a different solution for each thing and to reach the graphics level of the average game you need to work with many of those solutions simultaneously both in the authoring of the art and on the programming side.

>>501989157>early access>20 dollars for ugly over saturated unreal engine asset flip trashSorry, the idea seems cute but I think you should just give this a final update and start working on something better.There's a lot of issues here, and throughout the entire development process you didn't even pick up on itWhen you game lack substance you at least have to have huge amounts of style to make up for it.That's why asset flips and programmer art games only work if they're fun.Sorry man but these things should be obvious.
>>501990174Focus you fucking retard and finish your game.
>>501990263Jeez I'm taking a coffee break
What gives with the complete drought of 2000's style arcade shooters, specifically ones aping the golden age of CoD campaigns? You could find most of the necessary assets online, and a shorter runtime to keep a similar level of production values could even help make it more replayable.

Why does /agdg/ get so militant over AI? It's exactly like using paid assets. If you know what you're doing, it's fine.
seams are built separately so that there is no cascade effect between chunks.

>>501992030Elden Ring definitely has some issues. The main one being its an iteration on a well established formula and doesn't do much to innovate beyond the open world setting. (And whether the open world actually adds or detracts from the game is open for debate IMO) It's a great game but sometimes I wonder if the hype is coming from people who never played the previous FromSoft games because it really isn't that much different from Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne.
>>501992190if you try taking one shortcut, you'll try taking all of them, and there's infinite amounts of shortcuts to take, so you'll never publish because "hey, new shortcut" and 80 years will go by, no games, whereas the no shortcuts guy is enginedevving but then he finds infinity optimizations and becomes the reverse side of the shortcut guy, "hey, new optimization", no games.Enter, the JLMG striver. He follows the tutorial and finds "huh, that was faster than I thought". He makes *his* game. He posts in DDs. He posts webms. Everything is going faster and faster, he *is* progress itself. The game is finished in months, but can he make art?

Some angry nodevs misuse "asset flip" as an insult, but asset flips are a very specific thing. They are games designed around certain assets, rather than a game designed independent of assets and then the devs went to find assets for that game. Take Unicycle Pizza Time as an example. The game was conceptualized because Thomas was browsing the Unity asset store, as he always does, found the unicycle guy, really liked it, and designed the smallest commercially viable game he could around that one asset.https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/animations/uni-cycle-225745
>>501992361Paid assets aren't stolen. AI is built off stolen art, you're basically tracing and claiming it as your own. No one cares if you use AI trained off your own art.
>>501993112I had it on hand from when someone was asking about how to see the total lines of code throughout a whole project.

>>501993629Asset stores were barely even a thing back in those days. Asset flips manifest in a very different way in 2024. It's far more common for someone to buy thousands of dollars worth of assets from a humble bundle for like 50 bucks and try to mash them all together into something cohesive.

I guarantee no one who's posted in this thread arguing about asinine garbage will ever make a game, not have they ever even worked on a game at all.All you people do is larp with each other that you're devs when you're not.

>>501995084>I just came here for the first time todayok so then FYI, these are some of the games this community have produced. https://agdg-steam.netlify.app/Many of these devs argued about asinine garbage. Some hold grudges to this day.

>>501995312how do you do it? occlusion culling btw, not textures.
>>501995613No he isn't, you are
>>501995579No, I mean that toon shader doesn't have anime specular and only affects the hair and her thighs.It's only having a color ramp to color the meantone of the shadows.The rest of the model uses a basic difuse material that takes an albedo color.Literally pleb shader.

>Got yet another hemorrhoid from spending too much time sitting working on my gameI hope I make enough to pay for the surgery, or else I'm finished.
>>501984756It's not even correct. It's showing a graph that reaches 60% when D is equal to infinity.Obviously you can just make it (90D) / (D+500) but it's blatantly lying and saying it approaches that at 999.Is it even a good graph for defence if you want each point of defence to be exactly as effective as the last?If a hit does 100 damage, and you have a defence value of 100, that would be 6000/600 = 10% reduction, meaning taking 90 damage.If you have a defence value of 200, that would be 12000/700 = 17.14% reduction, meaning taking 83 damage, which is about an 8% reduction from 90 instead of another 10%. If each 100 points gave 10% further reduction it should be 81 damage.Especially given the hard cap, that makes it sound like defence will be a dump stat that you want to keep at 100~200 and then forget about unless something reduces it. There are some games where this seriously matters like where fights are between how much your team can heal versus how much the opponents can damage, in which case defence can be seriously overpowered as it increases healing effectiveness.
>>501996015sure if you don't care about money
>>501967576>>501995465how do you make that kind of shader where one side has a white rimlight and the other side has a dark shadow
>>501994061AI is for people who are lazy but also narcissistic and entitled. As if the world owes you free art and free voice acting.
>>501995881I'm actually a fourdie.
>>501996164>wtf that shader doesnt have specular?? I WILL NOT BUY YOUR GAME!!said no one ever
>>501996108I totally get what you're saying about the graph and how defense works in the game—it makes sense. The graph really doesn't show how defense actually scales at all. It's kinda sketchy when it makes it look like cranking up defense to crazy levels gives you a certain percentage of damage reduction, which is just confusing.You nailed it when you talked about how the defense points are less effective the higher you go. That just makes stacking up defense feel kinda pointless, and it might make players think twice about putting a lot into that stat.Also, your point about the trade-off between damage reduction and healing is spot on. If defense starts giving less and less back, it becomes less useful in gameplay, especially when you're trying to balance healing with dealing damage. Players might just end up ignoring defense altogether and focusing on other stats if it doesn’t seem worth it.It's super important for the game to make all the stats feel useful, especially when teamwork and staying alive are such major parts of the game. Maybe they could tweak how defense works or add some fun mechanics to keep it exciting to level up defense.
>>501996015No.It looks like garbage.Looks like 3D pleb toon shit.You can do much more with shaders.It's like doing photoshot with blender nodes.>>501996171rim light is done with a fresnel operator.You can do that by sending the fresnel and then doing a color ramp operation to separate the sides.The apply one white are to one color, then do an inverse operation to the oposite and use that to get the other color.
>>501996171i just bought it from the asset store for 10 bucks
>>501996282post a game released this year that doesn't use specular then

>>501996638Compare it with the arc system fighters, and specially the shaders of that arc system fighter with knights and medieval waifus.Arc system works are the ones with the best shaders, next to mihoyo.

>>501996828Shaderfags love procedural shit and do math BS.When you realize you can do the same shit with masks, and that you can paint the mask using a texture app, then 99.9% of shader autismo is removed.A cool trick I discovered is that you can use a white and black color ramp to separate areas.Then you can use a 2 tones color ramp to separate the toon specular mask from the shadow area.Then you can simply sculpt it using a hand paint toon cavity map and then do a mix operation with a multiple shader.That way you get the specular or shadow, but it follows the logic a 2D artist do when drawing anime.>>501997015It's not garbage.I'm just shitposting.It really depends more on your goals.My point was that is the most basic toon shader, and it looks bad because it looks like a 3D toon shader, doesnt look like hand painted 2D.
In my game the player is the Amnesiac Devil.He can do things differently this time , "Be good" or he can cause chaos in the world. You start in a star sanctum with a ghost guide butler figure who also acts as your conscience. And he knows all about your true nature. The Minecraft Style 'End' of the game is when the Player decides to assail the Mountain of God. So if the player stays away from attacking that mountain, things keep going.

>>501986782bothand that's fairly commonthey just dont make trolls like they used to
I mean, now I wonder why nobody on the industry hand paint a cavity map, and then use it to control and sculpt the shadow area of a toon shader, which you can get by simply having a 2 shade black and white ramp shader.Then you simply do a mix mulltiply operation with the color ramp mask and the hand painted shadow mask.Then you use that mask to control a third mix operation where you overlay the middle light tones of the model.Doing that, you get literally perfect 2D anime or cartoon shadows that actually follow the logic of a 2D artist.I fucking wonder why nobody do this.
>>501997923because the industry is overrated and most hires are just hobbyists with tutorial knowledge that come from some kind of fancy university.

>>502000325No, anything "extra" dilutes the initial whole, if it wasnt there from the first version of the final product than it was never needed in the first place.Picture your favorite movie. Now imagine after all these years the director added a whole new scene at the end. You don't get to say it's just "the same movie but even better because it has more content", a new scene can change the perception of the entire thing by switching up the cadence that was initially intended. Now imagine every new watcher will go straight to the "updated" version thinking they are getting the "true version" of the movie and that's the only version future generations will be experiencing it.I would go as far as to say it's an unethical way of tampering with art.

Is the Bomberman gameplay patented by Konami? People never make clones of that.
I'm making a walk cycle in unity. It looks like it's lagging on the last key frame. I copied the starting key frames and pasted them as the last. But it looks like it stops a bit before restarting. Anyone have tips on smooth animations? If I just copy my animations and make 2 walk cycles, where it normally would stop it starts the second animation and looks fine.

>>502002083>>502002759just btw you should also double check your animation in unityit's easy to make this mistake. you can adjust the animations within unity to exclude the last frame. it can cause a separate less noticeable jitter when the animation loops

Just got more item icons and menu scrolling done.
This whole Fab.com thing is a mess. First, they hit us up with an email to submit for Black Friday, so we did. Then, out of nowhere, they send another email saying if you submitted for Black Friday, you're out for the end-of-year sales. How were we supposed to know that when deciding which to go for? They've got to drop this restriction. We're already losing money thanks to this messed-up market (Fab.com). Sellers rely on every bit of income, and we can't afford to miss out on more sales. It's like a candy shop shutting down for Christmas because it was open on Halloween.

>>502005564yes and nousually, if one is depressed there are "good reasons" for feeling like shitwhatever causes / caused the depression is probably something bad and unresolved - and depressed people let their lives go to shit and do not (or are not able to) care for their own "emotional needs"however, even when one has "beaten" depression, the tendency to feel depressed for no reason lingers onfor me personally, i get about one or two days per month where i feel worse than average, for no reason, and have a bleak outlook on everything. with experience i have learned to recognize these days quickly, and the "feeling depressed for no reason" has no power from that moment on since emotions lose much of their ability to influence you when you are aware of themif i feel like shit for no reason, i might rearrange my daily chores so i can get some easy and quick things done early and reward myself with my favorite meal and listen to my favorite podcast. this trivial amount of "self care" can be enough to counteract depression for the rest of the day - and after a nights rest, this "depressed for no reason" goes away 9/10 times

>>502012518"I was taught assembler in my second year of school.It's kinda like construction work with a toothpick for a tool.So when I made my senior year, I threw my code away,And learned the way to program that I still prefer today.Now, some folks on the Internet put their faith in C++.They swear that it's so powerful, it's what God used for us.And maybe it lets mortals dredge their objects from the C.But I think that explains why only God can make a tree.For God wrote in Lisp code when he filled the leaves with green.The fractal flowers and recursive roots: the most lovely hack I've seen.And when I ponder snowflakes, never finding two the same,I know God likes a language with its own four-letter name.Now, I've used a SUN under Unix, so I've seen what C can hold.I've surfed for Perls, found what Fortran's for, got that Java stuff down cold.Though the chance that I'd write COBOL code is a SNOBOL's chance in Hell.And I basically hate hieroglyphs, so I won't use APL.Now, God must know all these languages, and a few I haven't named.But the Lord made sure, when each sparrow falls, that its flesh will be reclaimed.And the Lord could not count grains of sand with a 32-bit word.Who knows where we would go to if Lisp weren't what he preferred?And God wrote in Lisp code every creature great and small.Don't search the disk drive for man.c, when the listing's on the wall.And when I watch the lightning burn unbelievers to a crisp,I know God had six days to work. So he wrote it all in Lisp.Yes, God had a deadline. So he wrote it all in Lisp."What did he mean by this?

This is the way to gamedev. Just push out an updated version of a game every couple of years.Almost $2M revenue in 24 hours.
if you maximize the window in godot and then change the game to fullscreen and then back to windowed mode the window doesn't become windowed again, its permanently fullscreened

>>502014629a "hack/modding" tool for unitinu games. Extremely powerful, used by some to inject code to mod games.

>>502015510ok let me make an updated version of the game i dont have
>>502016613almost a year ago to the day, although the build was older than that.i really should try it.
>>502017292Orboomershooter
uwaah cant wait for the new thread to post progress!
>>502015510my kid made me play every farming sim since the 2008 version and the strides they make between versions are impressive. First game is practically unplayable, 2019 is peak. It's not even comparable to EA sportslop.
>>502015510I can't even get enough interest to raise the 100 USD for the first release.
>>502018354Why do you need to raise $100?
>>502018687>nodev doesn't know about steam fees
>>502017292>clicking to move around in first personWhat kind of brain damage causes Diablo fans to be so obsessed with clicking to do everything?
>>502018756I mean because most people have $100 already.
>>502018756If you're not in violation of Rule 2, you shouldn't have to "raise" $100, you "spend" $100.
Why make a game when I can use my monster cock to make bank on onlyfans?
>>502018687Need to pay 100 for every game submitted to Steam
>>502018772reading comprehension: indianit is a top down game *MODDED* to have its camera be first person for shits and giggles
>>502018885Being over 18 doesnt mean I have money. In fact I had more money before 18 cuz I had an allowance but now all my savings have dried up my plan is to sell my laptop to pay the steam fee once I have a good enough game to sell and get but I need to be sure it will cuz I can't make any other games until I can afford another laptop
>>502018772Nothing inherently wrong with it plenty first person dungeon crawlers are click to move
>>502018772It's good for playing one handed, I guess.
>>502018881If it was so easy for me to have 100 all the time I might not even need to sell games
What kind of game should I make? I want something that has lots of replayability. Like, a cheap rogue like I can shovel out, just to make a game, and get a quick couple hundred bucks.
>>502018881lol, no
Remember not to try too hard.
>>502020310You don't need $100 all the time.It's a 1 time fee.
>>501974643I can't believe madostonks are crashing.
>>502020475Let me know if you find out I could use a couple 100Maybe a cheap rogue like you said will be a good idea gonna try that
Does /agdg/ really not have $100 on hand to spend on impulse buys like steam fees or dinner? Is /agdg/ really that poor? If so that’s incredibly sad.
>>502020613We're talking about releasing multiple games like the farming sim series tho if I can't make games that raise 100 for the next release then I will be losing 100 with every release and that adds up
>>502020596Shit man when greenlight was around almost every indie game performed better than modern /agdg/ games. Even shit like that. Indie devs that are against greenlight are like workers against unions.
>>502020974greenlight later on during its life was doing barely anything to block slopit was more of a pain in the ass managing your greenlight, nowadays itd probably be even worse since it was a one time feet. someone who got in through greenlight
>>502020974Unions are good on paper but they eventually turn to shit. Same with Greenlight.
>>502020872Never had a lot of money but compared to the US dollars all money I get became like 1/6 after the COVID pandemic and they don't have regional pricing for the steam fee it's 100 dollars anywhere in the world so it's extra heavy on poor countries
>>501991278>>501992647>>501994340>>501994785>>502002478AFK Journey. Knew the artstyle looked familiar. You didn't think an agdg could make that did you?
>>502020872Yeah, most of us in here are from the third world like India or Turkey. Next time you see a homeless think about this general, this is it, a bunch of homeless trying to make a game to escape poverty.It's like Rocky only with "programmers"
>>502019456just use itchio idiotsteam is a scam
>>502022029itchio gave me 7$ for 50k plays then steam gave me a few thousand dollars in a matter of days
>>502020702My idea was just some RNG dungeon diver. A little bit of inspiration from Darkest Dungeon, I guess, it more like Baldur's Gate or XCOM combat.The further you go down, the worse it gets, but the more cool shit you find.Create characters, watch them die.Stuff like that.Either that or the exact same idea, ur instead of fantasy, it's SciFi where instead of dungeons it's derelict space ships.
>>502022324stop pricing your game at 0.00014 cents moron idiot
>>502022029I mean, I will give it a shot since its free but doubt I will make anything like farming sim levels of money, if any, on itch no matter how many versions of the same game I release
