Blessed Alice-free threadHappy deving frens
Posting this again since actual advice is appreciated. Water Splashes will be added around sarah, a vague Velouria background will be added to all of it, as well as the title etc..
post your game
>>502715861thats just a statement. what advice are you looking for?
>>502715583Fishing mini games for an action-oriented roguelite dungeon crawler. Yay or nay?
>>502715861what's this for exactly? I need to know before giving feedback
>>502716080ask yourself if it improves the game or detracts from it
>>502715583eric schizo janny did you REALLY have to delete shartgoon's thread?
>>502715861I would like to see the title placement because I think the horizontal thirds are underused.
Today I'm working on character creation for the player and agents (pawns).
>>502715970I guess small fixes that are within the scope of what I could do or like a major ideas to be added to the overall scheme. The background, for instance, is completely empty, any suggestions are appreciated.
this is the most bitch-ass-nigga era of /agdg/ ever
>>502716172>Alice Game Development Generalnot him but it was well deserved
Repost but I'm working on a toilet pod.
>>502716179Please explain further.
>>502716340is this a good, or a bad thing?
>>502716389Prompt?
>>502715583how do I record gameplay videos of my pixelshart game? Everything I get out of OBS turns out super blurry....
>>502716460Well Eric schizo is a janny and you're not so yeah he can do whatever the fuck he wants, you lost.
>>502716337incorporate the color blue in some capacity
>>502716628I use the windows snipping tool and webm for lazies
Look, /agdg/, I can understand why you hate AI art, but why do you hate AI voice acting?>it's badYou can curate it to be good and it's far easier to make it good than it with AI art>just use text/banjo kazoi mumbleNot applicable to every type of game and you know it.>it's unethicalIf it's simply a monetary issue and the dev made a promise to replace it, is it really that bad?
>>502716460>The hypocrisy is so Unreal you could make a tournament out of it.nobody wants to look at your ugly waifu or listen to your attentionwhoring, die mad about it
This grim jobby is making us MENTALLY ILL

>>502716340Shit threads create strong devs I hope so
>>502716696There is at the moment a very slight, blue outline, around Sarah, but I think you may be right. Any suggestions?
If you had a spine you'd report this thread too.
I'm looking for dark fantasy art references for a game I'm making with friends. Preferably pixel-ish style. There's only AI when I look on the usual websites though like pinterest. Any idea where to look?

>>502716460It's many people doing those other things vs just you posting alice. Nobody else is posting alice. You only post alice to be antagonistic.
Daily reminder to be inspired by not european not japanese art as well.
>>502716979background or pipe dude's pants
I just came to the realization that it's not actually the shittiness of agdg that is demotivating me and making me mad at all of you. Don't get me wrong - you really are all stupid - but that isn't really my problem. The reason why I actually feel mad at you is because working on my game is a constant grind, and it does wear me out after some time, and I externalize that frustration and hopelessness and anger onto you.
>>502717092>reporting a thread made by a janny lollmao

>>502717513The first week marmo started posting bocchi I was already falseflag bocchi posting
>>502717206idk how well the "modern Audience" would take to a penis staff being in an otherwise child friendly game.
I hear from the inside (Thomas) that Marnix is going to start a game dev interview segment on his podcast.Will you go on?
>>502717782a lot of cultures had dicks in their art.
>>502717206My inspirations go all over the place.
>>502715861The perspective of the suit man's gun seems a bit off. Right now it's a perfect side view rotated into his hands whereas you should be able to see the front/hole of the barrel, and the rear of the stock should appear to curve more inward. You don't need to redraw it completely, you could duplicate it and move it to the left 5-6 pixels, and then clean up and connect it together.I'd add some more edge lighting to the characters to make them stand out more since the background is pure black. I know you're probably using MS Paint right now, but later this can be done easily in Paint.NET or any program with the magic wand tool by just selecting the background, moving the selection lower, and then using the global fill over the selected areas. Similarly, you could tweak the colors using curves, an overlay, or even putting a low opacity difference layer over everything to add some nice uniform color shifting. Right now all of the tones are really flat with no hues. I know in-game the graphics look like that, but if this is the main splash image I think it's worth it to give it a bit more flare where possible. Maybe this isn't what you're going for, but you could even maybe add separate color overlays for each character's corresponding outline color, it might help make the bright outlines seem more natural as well. For the background, I think you could try putting several 1 pixel thin lines of smoke going across it in layers that sort of fade away. A bit simple, but might add some appeal without being too distracting.
>>502715864I dont have a game i dont know how to code i just have a bunch of 2D and 3D art and plot ideas.
>>502717673again?
>>502717958>pony

>>502717690Sure marmo it was falseflagger
>>502718123>symbol modelingyou *HAVE* to go back.
>>502717853that doesn't translate to it being acceptable for a black man to be bashing the player character in his face with a penis staff.
>>502717958you're modeling ancient mesopotamian clay figurines

What are the biggest 3 games to ever come from /agdg/. Did Notch ever post here?
>>502720157tell me they get corrected in this one
>an anon pretends to be mehow do i avoid this?
>>502720589honestly? i think both are interchangeable in that specific context.
>>502720714Notch predates /vg/
>>502720714Crumble unironicallyRisk of Rain and Stardew Valley aren't agdg games despite what people say
>>502720736They do
>>502720714notch posted minecraft on /v/. /agdg/ wasn't a thing yet.
>>502720780>>502721015I see, I wasn't really around then. I remember Notch used to post on tigsource though.
>>502720970nobody besides the eric schizo has ever claimed stardew was an agdg game
>>502720714the three games i made.
I heard eric used to ask for feedback of the stardew portraits on /v/
>>502721105he posted on /v/
>>502721147You're gay.
I used AI for vocie acting in my game. Will I be okay?
>>502720970how can crumble be an agdg game but not risk of rain?
>>502721321Does it sound good? Once all the voice lines are actually locked, it actually doesn't cost that much to hire internet VA people. There are a few sites. But if it sounds good who cares

>>502720970>Crumble unironicallyWhat the fuck? Cumball isn't even in the top 10 games by any actual metric. Nigga had to spend ad money on bots to even get reddit to acknowledge it.
Will he attended the Game Awards or will he send his Discord mod like a coward (like what Vampire Survivors dev did)
>>502687114>Don't release Early Access until you have 10k wishlists?10k is the bare minimum. I wanna say aim for at least 50k but I recognize that many of the games here will struggle to hit that.
How versatile can the quake engine be? Can it be used for non-FPS games?
>>502724324it worked for anachronox
bro was really destined for greatness. before I got my first girlfriend I had a my own place, a great job, a 3 plate bench 1RM and I went on like 20 first dates before a girl would give me the time of day.some people are simply born winners.so remember anons, if your game flops it's not your fault, it's your parents' fault.
for me it's using the doom engine to make an adventure game
>>502715583>>502724483Pictures like this make me sad
eric is cute. cute

>>502721462look at the guy's games, he clearly has autism/sperg/something
>>502724324Every engine is capable of doing more than what its meant to if you add enought of your own code you could make a rpg in doom or a racing game in quake engine

today i fixed a lag spike kinda
>>502724462Anachronox was shit and ended on a cliff hanger because the studio expected it to sell like final fantasy and go on to have future sequels but the game sold like shit and caused the studio to close though so i dont know if thats a good example of it working for someone.
>>502725161all solo gamedevs do. some hide it better than others, some hide it from themselves.
Hmmm if I have 5 skill groups that each have two skills the player can pick one of then I need like 3000 different encounters if I want there to be an encounter for each combination (including combinations of only 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 skills) if I want an encounter for every possible build.
>>502725520This is untrue. I do not have autism.
>>502725541you're approaching it backwards. make all of the skills first, and then make subsets. when you have the subsets you wont be able to do the combinatorics for that (because it's O(n!)) so just convert it into a seed and use the seed to make content via procedural generation.
>>502724483The fact that this richkid who grew up in a mansion with a private lake with a richkid gf went on to make over 100m from game development is hilarious
>>502725442>kindado it right
>>502716771I just hate voice actingAdd gigabytes of poorly compressed sound files just so enemies can “””bark””” some stupid pointless dialogue as i kill them
Hmm today i will sit in my bed and rot for 12 hours scrolling youtube shorts while taking occasional breaks to see if my bait posts on 4chan got any (You)'s then go back to sleep again instead of working on my game.

>>502726439How to optimize a 3d game:-Keep texture resolution around 1024x1024-Keep polycount below 3,000 for props, 50k for characters-Used baked lighting if possible. If you can't then disable shadows on basically every light and avoid having spots where 2+ shadows overlay each other.This will get you 95% of the way there in any engine. Other optimizations are more engine specific.
>>502724324Stop looking for greener grass. Start making your game on Unity now.
Man, I'm not enjoying making my game right now. I feel like I'm reaching a point of having to compromise too much due to limited resources and manpower that it's not what I even want the game to beI want to go back to what I planned originally but it's not doable so like, I feel I have to give up on it for now and work on something else despite REALLY liking it. Just sorta heartbreaking
>realize the most played games are all the equivalent of pic relatedis this the meta
Programming npcs is hard
>>502726786Justice is a dish best served cold. Because it was served warm it would be justwater
How do i do baked lighting.Do i just take a brush set the color to black and draw the shadows onto the texture of the map itself?That sounds very tedious.
>>502726484> to teach them "work ethic"this makes sense. You need to get perspective to appreciate what you have
>>502726786Does branno really think people are gonna listen to reason? Getting into gamedev is emotional and not rational, that's why wall street types don't like it and would rather bankroll cryptos
>>502727114please watch at least one tutorial before posting.
>>502727224No.
What IDE do you use for Unreal? Rider steals your code for AI shit.
>>502726658yes i did
>>502727010the most played games are... magnetic?
>>502727114You could hand paint lighting if you want and it would probably have a cool aesthetic to it.But no, most engines support generated lightmaps. Just look it up in your engine.
How are you boners marketing your games? I just made my first game and it releases soon. I've been cold emailing small streamers and shilling it in discord servers, and I plan on shilling it on reddit once it releases
>>502726824Connections and risk taking. Rich people have connections and safety nets that make them more confident when taking risks.I don't mean to diminish the hard work that rich kids have to put in, because they still do have to work hard, in some ways harder than us poor kids, but their wealth gives them opportunities to reach higher.The best way to think about it is seeing how high you can climb a mountain from different starting points. Rich kids get to start from higher up, but they still have to climb. Poor kids shouldn't feel ashamed for not reaching as high: you started lower, and if you work hard you can take comfort in having climbed higher relative to your starting point even if you didn't reach as high in absolute terms.

>>502726668>>502726821>>502726852I've noticed my game has those sudden drops of frames that many unreal games do, wanted to understand it.Switched to async loading everything and it seems to have cured it aside of initial stutter.But it couldn't be that simple, right?
>>502727532>bald spotHes just like me fr fr
Redpill me on godot engine. Is it actually any good or just a meme? I used it for some small projects because it's free and it seems alright to me
>>502715864Started this project about a week and a half ago. Happy with the movement I've got so far.
>>502720157uhh source?
>>502727862holon lil nigga lemme profile your game with my mind
Redpill me on skibidi gyatts. Are they fr bussin or just cap?
>>502727862Unreal has traversal stutter whether you're using async loading or not. It's apparently related to how the engine is threaded and how it spawns actors (only on the main thread) so it gets worse the more actors you have in a scene. You can mitigate the effects by having more loading zones with less actors in them. And no, world partition does not fix it.IMO, if you're using Unreal you should just have loading screens where you do all the loading and unloading. Or at the very least have clear combat zones and clear traversal zones so at least your'e not stuttering when you're in the middle of a fight.
>>502727583It's only "too late" if you never attempt it. Stop with this retarded doom posting.
>>502727769What do you mean? If you're referring to the head, it's a billboard texture that changes textures depending on which direction it's facing. it's a LITTLE more complicated than that, but that's the basic gist. The camera shouldn't ever mess with the rig.>>502727927Oh, you big ol' silly.

>>502727628well i was able to figure out that it had something to do with the title card because when i deleted it, the lag spike would stop happening. it was very strange because every level has this and there's nothing different about them other than the text. if i were to replace it with anything else such empty gameobject it would still happen, which was very strange. again, this didn't occur in any other levels so i just copy and pasted the entire setup for the ui from a different level and that fixed it.
>>502728718I FUCKING knew it, LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE
>>502728339>>502728676If your game doesn't hit 10 reviews on release day it's unlikely to ever hit it. To get past the 10 review mark you need wishlists prior to launch.
>>502727430I'm not. I don't really feel like it.

>>502728881why.
dear reddit,today I found out that perlin noise is named after Ken Perlin, some guy who worked in Hollywood and got an Oscar for inventing perlin noise. He's now a professor and presumably neck deep in primo freshman bussy. That's what you should be doing to get cute gfs, not making games. Leave gamedev for those who have passion for the craft and don't pine for rewards.
>>502728893i somehow have 30 wishlists so hopefully I can convert.
>>502728676>Personally I would forget about a game if I got showed it before release and it wasn't some big anticipated hit. I think the majority of my advertising will be when it's out so people can see it and just go buy itThat's the logical assumption. Word of mouth is far more likely to start if you actually have something to offer to play. Why should someone get exited for the game if they can't try it, or tell their friends about it if it's not out?That's not to say you shouldn't do prerelease marketing at all but it's not "over" after you hit release on Steam. It often takes indies a while to get off.

>>502729936There was a long time when very few PC games had demos. Only recently has there been a resurgence of demos with Steam and now these new fests have put it into overdrive. Now having a demo is your way of farming wishlists prior to release.

>>502730490>>502730639also I just remembered that there DID use to be demos for PC games even during the 2006-2014 decline. Do you know what Bigfishgames is? That was the PC games market during the time when every single big franchise and game was getting consolefied

>>502730865I never said that there were NO demos. I don't know why you're arguing this point as it has nothing to do with what matters now. The fact is Steam making changes pushed more devs to do demos and now having one is more important than ever.

>>502731051Because I have no idea how old you are but I am going to assume that most of us here were around for the 2000s. Let's say that a tiny minority of people here didn't play games back then, the rest of you were playing console trash and ported console trash like there's no tomorrow. A final small third group was probably playing old PC titles so they weren't up to date with what was happeningOut of all the people who come around this place (I would assume 100-400 people) I am the only one who was down in the trenches during those days playing thousands of those proto indie PC games. I am the only person who has hands-on experience with what happened to the PC market during the big blind spot. Demos were always the driving force. You just weren't there.

>>502731395I started PC gaming in 95. Finland, where I'm from had a significant proto-indie scene in the 90s and early 00s. Most of those games were free though, or shareware. I mostly remember demos from demo CDs and some of those were for PC but they were more common for PS1. I do remember stuff like Avernum having demos. In the 2000s there was a shift away from demos in the AAA space. When indies started to rise in the 2010s not a lot of them did demos. I don't remember when exactly Steam added demo support but changes like that and more recently the festivals has been a big push towards more devs doing demos.I feel like you just wanna be right and are missing the entire point.

>>50273175745, I'm probably the oldest here.
In unreal engine I am trying to move a static mesh from it's default position on an actor to the position of another component of the same actor using the "Move Component To" node. The location and rotation are referencing the world location and rotation of a no collision reference mesh on the same actor. When this is triggered the mesh makes itself visible but then flies off into the distance, nowhere near where I wanted. Please help, I just want it to slide into place, even timeline/lerping didn't work.
>>50273175737, I'm probably the 3rd oldest here.
>>50273175735, I'm probably the 4th oldest here
it all comes down to the fact that there are too many sissies in herethat's why the games suck and hugboxing happens, we need to bring back testosterone and bullying
>I share the general with this many elderly uncsGamedev is boomer hobby i was born in the wrong generation
>>502733110nah game dev has never been easier you were born at the perfect time
>>502732528I think you're failing to understand what I'm talking about because you cannot understand that PC games and console games are two completely separate mediums with separate audiences.Steam does not represent the PC market because for a long long time Steam was a closed community of curated games.The big indie game craze of the 2010s is also not really a PC phenomenon outside of the occasional freak accident like Factorio or Kenshi or Rimworld which only started coming more during the second half.I am talking about things like Bigfishgames, and Arcade Town and the other similar websites which carried the entire 2000s indie scene on their back mostly through demos. Avernum was there. Most of the big RPGmaker games of the era which you do not know about were there. That was the PC market at the time. Slop like Bioshock and Assassin's Creed were console ports.You audience is not the people who played Bioshock and Assasin's Creed in 2007 because today they play God of War and The Last of Us, and Baldur's Gate and they don't give two shits about our games.You should start thinking of yourself as a PC developer, and you should start doing demos, and you should be targeting the people who were playing the Sims 2, and Syberia, and SimCity 4
>>502733078Actually AGDG was way less bully and more hugboxy when the greatest successes Risk of Rain and Va11 Hall-A were made.In fact we had some guy named NG that saved every progress post, no matter how good or bad in a public dropbox folder named after each dev/game.

>>502735605First of all I need at a minimum $3000 (after taxes) a month to live like a human being. You know, for food, gas, bills, clothes, computer, things like that.Having a pile of money I didn't spend on a kid means I could either have a safety net against unforeseen circumstances or I could save myself from 3-4 years of wageslaving and retire a bit earlier. And that's just the responsible choices. I could also spend $200k traveling the world or buy a nice beach house in the south of Spain.
>>502736217Same.
>>502736373But I am completely right. The blind spot of the 2000s is never discussed and I was there and I know how huge it was. You refuse to believe it even happened because it sounds insane. Your own ego isn't allowing you to even consider it a possibility that something like that happened and you just completely missed it.Thousands upon thousands of demos man. I played them.
I keeps going up.You guys think it will make it to 100 by next month?
>>502736629Once again you're making shit up. I never said it didn't happen.
>Balatro nominated to GOTYHoly fuck.
>>502734469of coursr, just keep waiting!
>>502716310Alright, about half way done with the pawn creator.
>>502726786Ok, but what if I want to quit my job because it's ruining my life for other reasons? I'm sincerely asking because I don't know how much longer I can take this existence. My entire life revolves around my job. I wake up way too early in the morning, drive to the office, and sit there for 9 hours while I'm constantly reminded of all my failures that led me to this point. Then I drive home, go to sleep, repeat 5 times a week every single week.I have no more time for the things I love, and as a result my life is numb and meaningless. Game dev, which I originally got into as an escape from the stresses of life, now feels like a chore (as do all my other hobbies). I don't want to do anything when I get home from work because I have no energy. I don't want to do anything on the weekends either because I'd have to cram it in to my routine of errands and other tasks. For the first time in my life I genuinely want to kill myself. Don't think I mean the typical 4chan brand of "waah I'm so depressed tfw no gf" wanting to kill myself, I mean I actually WANT to kill myself. Suicide seems like the only realistic escape from this never ending hell of wagecuckoldry that has barely even begun for me, I still have at least 30 more years of this. Thinking about that future feels like staring down into a dark abyss that seems to have no bottom. Just to be clear I'm not actually going to kill myself because I could never do that to my parents, so I'm 100% stuck here for at least as long as they're alive (which is looking like another 10-15 years at best).I didn't used to be like this, I used to be happy and have dreams. All of this negative energy is a result of my job and the structure of misery it's built around my life. I need to get out of this prison but I have no idea where to begin.
>>502736954based
>>502736810So why are you downplaying it? Your argument was that demos went out of style of PC games and I explained to you that you're not really talking about PC games because the games that you were aware of during that time were not PC games and have a separate audience from the recovering PC game audience of today. World of Warcraft had a demo. Medieval II Total War had a demo. Did you ever know that? Those are PC games.

Thinking about that future feels like staring down into a dark abyss that seems to have no bottom.Quitting your job may legitimately good for you in the way where people who survive suicide attempts end up being "scared straight" into no longer being suicidal.I didn't quit, I was fired, and I used that time to finish my game. But poverty has actually gotten me to miss the wage cage that I was so miserable in before, and now that my game is done I'm desperately begging to be let back into the cage.
>>502737821
>>502737093I am not particularly interested in listing every game that had or didn't have a demo in some year range when that's not relevant to the current state of indie dev.>>502737523It seems to me that anons are failing to make use of their demos in Steam. Either the demos aren't good enough or they're failing to get people to play them.

>>502738014Anon I'm not interested in arguing with you. I just take issue with your claim that demos are some kind of new strategy. They might have gone in and out of fashing over the years but they are the one evergreen go-to strategy for PC games specifically. This is not a new meta. That's why I disagreed with you. They are always THE meta, even if they are not widely done in some specific moment.

That is the NEW part of it. Are you so retarded that you thought I claimed that demos were some sort of new thing?

>>502739170>I enjoy talking to people, especially about game development.let's see >>502729936>stupid niggeris this is how you start a discussion with people?
>>502738592>skip dialogue>skip dialogue>skip dialogue>skip dialogueNice lore you got there
literally the only way to become relevant in the threads is to become controversial in some way. It's the new meta
>>502738592heh lore.... more like SNORE!
>>502739658Or just get a schizo to spam about you
>>502729615You just know his wife pegs him and hes going to transition
>>502739770Or pretend to be a schizo and spam about yourself
>>502739658why would I want to be relevant? I just want to make a good game and see my enemies driven before me.
>>502723703Uhhh.... Ackshually, none of those good games are /agdg/ games. If a game gets over 1k reviews then the devs never actually posted here chud. Stop noticing things.
>>502738385>>502738604Thanks, I like making them. It helps if your game has a memorable character. I forgot to do one for Afterlife Gladiator, I might go back and do it after I beat the game.
>>502739586Indie dev hero Scott Cawthon does it so it seems like a valid way to communicate with ingrates who don't even understand that the discussion topic was about word of mouth not about Steam
>>502736778Mind to share how many units you sold?Nodevs pretend like most of the reviews are from the discord so it will be good to know your purchase/review ratio to dab on them
>>502739875Not him, but in a previous thread he posted a screenshot of his sales figures, and he was getting pretty close to the average 30 sales per review.
>>502739851Afterlife Gladiator flopped so you might wanna hold off on that one champ : /
>>502736778how many wishlists did he start with on releasE?
>>502739852it was a reply to a replychain talking about releasing a game in steam
>>502740040IIRC ~11k
>>502740045No it was about releasing games in general. You seem to assume it was about steam because all you can think about is platforms and surface level irrelevant details instead of the immortal throughlines of game development marketing that go back 40 years. Steam marketing is never implied because steam marketing is the final refuge of the terminally disabled retards who can't market their games in all the normal ways. It's not steam's job to be your marketing platform. Demos and word of mouth have been, are, and always will be your best friends even if steam never implemented demos or completely deletes the future tomorrow.Marnix tourist wannabe market analyst
>>502736778Into the Necrovale had 57 reviews a week after his early access release btw
>>502734107whew, that's the first time I've been able to wank and study animation simultaneously
Is adding boob physics to a characters bulge the best way to do it or is there some tool specificly for giving penis bulges jiggle?
>>502740212how?
ladies and gentlemen we have shell type specific reloading
>>502740629idk
I'm building a team, who are the anthro males of /agdg/?
>>502740397>steam deletes the future tomorrow.
>>502740783>anthro males
>>502735742this audience is autistic therefore buys games
>>502740662they said it couldnt be done
What's a reasonable sales goal for my first ever game? I'm charging $5. I think 200 is reasonable to get my steam fees back
>>5027409071
god damn i'm hardstuck mentally trying to find the best way to do something. fuck it. i'll do it in a way that it just works and then iterate on it later on. especially since it's not the highest priority feature.
>>502740397except having a steam demo is literally your best marketing tool
>>502740397lmao it really was about word of mouth and marketing around release
>>5027402124 years of unpaid work and 11k wishlists for thisGRIM
>>502740907first ever finished game? how many prototypes have you made? what are your skills?
>>502741013well I'm going to get at least 2 because both my mom and dad will buy it so suck it
>>502741062ccu doesn't matter for most gamestricky is looking like it's getting some decent traction and could even do 200 reviews first month
>>502741062it's a fun game.
>>502740803Steam had gotten to powerful...We need a hero to save us from the demon lord Steam who can delete tommorow on a whim...
>>502741037and it always has been no matter what year you released your game on steam. It's not a "new meta" when you were free to have a demo of your game on some other platform for all the years when steam didn't have the feature. It's not new, and it has nothing to do with steam. Demos are always king. You sound retarded when you come in here trying to pretend like they are some kind of innovation. Nobody was stopping you from making demos ever. You were just too stupid to think about it.
>>502741062Tricky Madness is pretty fun but what the fuck is that capsule art? It looks like one of those cheap eShop games that's on permanent discount. Absolutely zero style or coolness. He should've commissioned someone to make something like picrel, or at least made her do a cooler pose.
>>502741204>ccu doesn't matter for most gamesIt's insane how so many people don't seem to understand that, especially for single player games. For all the bitching about agdg being stupid enough to think 1 review = 1 sale, I constantly see idiots on /v/ stupid enough to think 1 ccu = 1 sale.
>>502741118My first ever game I've worked on/prototyped/whatever. I don't start projects not to finish them. I wasn't going to do anything with it but my friends convinced me to list it. The gameplay and music are tight but the art is pretty bad and that's gonna hurt sales for sure since that's what people see first.
>>502741437holy cope
>>502741373that looks like ass compared to Tricky's capsule
Time to get honest. Word of mouth ain't saving tricky madness bocchisisters...
>>502741373That looks like shit.Tricky madness is way better.
>>502741367>I enjoy talking to people>proceeds to schizo ramble and insult everyone he replies tothe absolute state of aggy daggyyou're replying to 3 or 4 different anons thinking they're the same guy
>>502734107>getting flashbacks of the nude sherry mod videos that are still up on YouTube
OHN OOOOO NOO I DID SOME UNPAID WOOORK *CRRRYYYYING* OH NOOO HOW CAN I RECOVER FROM THIS? I DID WORK HARD AND NO PAAAAY NOOOO *BABY CRY SOUNDS*holy shit man i hope /agdg/ will change over the next years. i'm so fucking tired of doomers and people who constantly cry about everything. holy fuck man can you FINALLY get over it?
>>502741514The line art is kinda ass but you can't deny the style and soul emitting from it. What does Trick Madness' capsule art show off about the game? The characters are so weak they can't stay on their board and they have lifeless doll faces? Terrible logo as well.
>>502741373That looks great and very stylish and evocative of the time period. I guess the bocchi mind virus blinded trickydev too much. We have to put her down
>>502741746I enjoy this hobby
>>502741437nothing surprises me after I realized that most anons here think it's fine to release a game with couple hundred wishlists
>>502741746Hard agree. If you're not doing it for the love of the game then GTFO. You can't expect to sell well as a nobody. I look at it like a hobby, and sometimes you've gotta put time and money into the things you enjoy
>Random devlog with 3 rooms of gameplay gets a journalist articleLMAO marketing
>Made in a no-name engine>Only has one music track>Is a card game>Made in two years>Nominated for GOTYIn a perfect world /agdg/ would be pumping out games like this again
>is a bocchispammer>makes the face of his game a literal bocchi clonewhat the fuck is happening to this place
>>502741938NINTENDOOOOOOO
>>502741938Nintendo's lawyers striking in 3.. 2..
>>502741938>gets drop-dead gorgeous new remakeIt looks good, no doubt about it but it was just a hobby project remaking the first dungeon as a proof of concept. The absolute state of game "journalists" is pathetic.
>>502741937i can agree with people who hate delusional optimists, but god damn doomers really are just annoying pessimists who can't shut the fuck up. i really wish they would just stop it.it's like someone constantly complaining to you how shit life is and how they have no chances. it drags you down with them.
>>502741994My personal failing is that I always want to make story games instead of gamey games.
>>502741938Looks like a porn parody flash gamealso why the fuck was my captcha 10 characters long?
>>502742135Write stories instead. Making story games as a solo dev is basically insanity.

>>502741994Love chads keep winning
Anyone know why Unity doesn't properly populate _MainTex_ST in an animator based spritesheet renderer? I'm trying to do some shader effect based on UVs, but since it's spritesheet positions instead of (0,1) I'm in a bit of trouble.I could just pass the data manually, but also don't want to do stuff twice if Unity is already dealing with it.
>>502741994Why are people here acting like balatro is a bad game instead of the virtual cocaine that it actually is
>>502741994I don't get how this went viral.
>>502742296it do be like it is
>>502742386Unity 8 will fix that.
>>502741994This makes me so unreasonably happy because it means that for the next 1-2 years most competitive yesdevs will be wasting their existence on shitting out low-demand slop clones of that which keep flopping, clearing the way for me to dominate the market in peace with my soulful originallikes
>>502742019Bocchi is a big inspiration to a lot of lgbt people because she dresses like a boymoding trans woman and her hair is pink and eyes are blue like the trans flag and her hair together with her hair accessories make the pansexual flag colors.Also there are a lot of lgbt themes in the anime and stuff and its just a really cool anime overall.
>>502742529U cheeky

I made a mini bio for the 5th character.

>>502742785nah he wouldve offed himself even sooner
>>502742638>>502742764the biggest losers of /agdg/the fotmslop sisters
>>502742442I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying I don't know how to make virtual cocaine. If I did, I would.
>>502742638I can't tell if this is ripping off Zelda, Dragon Quest, or Balatro
>>502742593Like I said a while back. All bocchiposters are trannies.
>>502742764too many run on sentences, and you used the phrase "burn everything" three times, I'd change two of them to some synonym. "Immolate" or something i dunno
>>502742638>>502742764HAHahahahhhahahah imagine having literal dopamine monkeys as your actual target audience. You "people" have no souls
>>502742459>I'm a gay retard - literally whowow I'm so inspired
>>502742976And That's a Good Thing
>>502743183>HAHahahahhhahahah imagine having literal dopamine monkeys as your actual target audience. You "people" have no souls
>>502738987Everything makes cumball mad though
>>502742638what engine btw?why don't you work with that artist guy who's always drawing pixel art maids?He's pretty good at that.
>>502742976how about all of them?
>>502743183makes me a little sad thinking about the times when /agdg/ used to be THE place for people with souls
>>502743452SDL
>>502743452my own in C++ SDL2idk who that is, though i'd probably remember if you showed me, but i want to do everything myself so i can get into a workflow where i crank out games without being dependent on anyone

does unity still have programmers in their company? seriously man every 2-3 weeks they just release a small list of bugfix. are they even working on anything?
>>502743502the lolidevs are our only hope
I create a good debug scene where I can test the moves out and figure out the distance the cpu characters need to be when trying to use the move.For now, I've gone back to the main menu to improve the look and feel and to try some designs out.And I've been watching some kung-fu movies and tutorial to see some moves to add.
>>502743740they just released unity 6
>>502742530There is a constant battle within myself wondering if I should bully those devs and correct their path or hugbox them and leave them to fuck up because it would mean less competition for me.
>>502743104I dont think you have to be trans to appriciate Bocchi but it definitely helps you understand and relate to the main character better and her struggles.
>>502743712More like exploit the player. Because they're retarded goonbrains who fall for this. Extract wealth from them so that you can live comfortably.>>502743865Frequently I don't correct the retards here because their failure gives me more room for success.
>>502743770Kino Replace the AI skybox already
I'm enjoying my game development hobby
>>502743814unity 6 is basically just unity 5 with more bugfixes
>>502743932Only mentally ill troons would spam pics of her thread after thread while contributing absolutely nothing to the thread.
>>502743712this is like listening to a drug dealer or a scam phonecall salesman justify his profession.You're scum buddy. The world would be better off without you.
>>502742530>>502743865My game is a balatro knock off because I'm creatively bankrupt, I'm just a good programmer
>>502744036Atlas shrugged.
>>502740662Impossible. What is this power?>>502743745plz god no>>502744036Galaxy brain game?
What is THAT video from the howtomarketyourgame lad where he says your game need x things to be at least known by players?Be honest.
>>502741994meanwhile some fags in here will still say art is all it matters and not addictive gameplay
>>502744237>implying balatro has bad art
>>502744147>What is this power?big autism
>>502743949It will be replaced. Apart from a wall behind the building I'm unsure what to put in the background still.
>>502744237Well both Factorio and Balatro can be categorized as "addictive games" but one has substance and is made for white men, the other is made for 90IQ pajeetsWhich way?
>>502744219>>502744237somehow i think you're both talking about this
>>502744323no I didn't imply that
>>502744127working title is "Atlas Hugged"
>>502744116at least I'm not making gacha or mobileshitI'd probably be slinging dope if I wasn't afraid of getting caught
>>502743691even branno took the artist pill man. It's not a big deal you just need to make sure they're serious and passionate.
>>502744664Ok at least you're honest about it.I would want you out of my neighbourhood or dead though.You're unwanted. You're ruining the world.
WTF Afterlife Gladiator has only 4 reviewsHow many wishlists?

>>502739851I would appreciate it, fren.
>>502744414Anons here should be aiming for 4, 5 and 6 types of games. Maybe 3.Most here don't have the artistic skill to pull off 1 nor the good ideas required to do 2.

Is it still cliche to make a Portal clone as an indie dev? Even if it's one of the rare actually good ones?
>>502744763you're not wrongI hate druggies but I don't particularly have any moral qualms about exploiting themit's hard to get ahead in this world if you play by the rules that's the world we live in

>>502745068Do you have something to add to it? Something that Portal 1 and 2 didn't do? Is it worth making a clone game for? If your idea of cloning it is just Portal again then there's no point in that.
>>502745068don't worry about what's cliche or not just make something sick and finish your fucking projects. Everyone is creatively bankrupt and stealing from each other all the time
>>502744414>>502744894I have 1, 2, 4, and 6 : )
>>502744817>I'm one of them>every single other review is from an /agdg/ devoofThis will be a great example of how good games don't sell themself and need marketing to get a wider audience.
>>502744716do you think the graphics look bad? i'd appreciate it if you told me what needs to be improved>even brannoi don't get the implication.the artist could drop out at any time. and he still needs to improve the UI art, will he have to hire an artist for that too? what if he wants to make another game? et cetera

>>502745518the discord is not the ICthe IC is the circlejerk that orbits a select few games which support each other and jerk each other off, stream each other, and algo boost each other every DDThey are the obnoxious few faggy posters that constantly compliment each others' games while ignoring the other devs

>>502744414Yea, that one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WezMZrk32M4
>>502745716There is a discord server called The Inner Circle. All 6 of those posters are in this discord.
>>502745810minebut jokes aside, every single game that's not in the IC is pretty much ignored both inside and outside the discord. Pretty much every single game you can list is outside of the zeitgeist besides the gay little council of obnoxious personalities both on the discord and outside of it.Underspace, Healed to Death, Dirk the Adventurer. None of these games get any engagement anywhere. If I had to list all of them I would just make a list of all the /agdg/ games minus about 12

How expensive do you think it would be to have a baroque soundtrack produced for a videogame (RTS)? Not like camping piano but more like opera or choir and an organ just going crazy breaking it down
>>502745667was that anon in the last thread lying when he said you worked on it for 2 years in unity, then went to godot with godette, and then back to unity?

>>502747379that's becaues trainwiz is trying to shill
>>502747379that's just trainwiz trying to false flag interest.He did the same thing by creating a space game general and slipping his game in the middle of the "recommended games"He also created v threads and was like 'oh wow! that totally wasn't me!' And then he'd "show up" like halfway through the thread and be like 'wow hey I'm the creator, thanks for making this thread'>>502747716>I meant that no one ever replied to trainwiz's progressbecause his progress was always boring as fuck and he'd ignore feedback anyways. And he's so humorless, if you tried to have fun with him he'd just be so stuck up and lame about it

>>502748713I found it slightly easier when I started thinking about it more in terms of games I can finish instead of games I dream making. When you start narrowing down what sort of games you can make you can get to imagining ideas that fit those constraints.
>>502748282Simply disheartening.I can understand that you need to get the ball rolling somehow, but even for a success it's a miserable pile of money.

managed to make some progress on weapon designs for different races
>>502749308Consider that it did that in a couple days. Sure the biggest spike is probably done but the tail should be decent. Add like a 20% sale paired with some big update in ~6 months and it could see a nice spike. It has reached the sort of review count that interested people who stumble upon the page won't dismiss it because of low reviews.

>>502750246Unsurprising shit taste
>>502750054you should make 1/100 of them spawn with "WET CEILING"
I can see my dreams Crumble before my very eyes...
>>502750246It's the junk food of videogames. Pure slop but let's not pretend it doesn't taste good once in a while.
>>502750696should gotten a black gf
>>502750418excuse me?
>GOTYwow this Astro Bot is a copy paste of Eve from Wall-E
>>502750889>he already forgot about itlooks like my hexes worked again
>>502750820And have her cosplay as a character from your game.
Will Tricky Madness outperform this Unreal 5 game from an ex-Bethesda dev who worked on Skyrim, Fallouts and Starfield?Tricky Madness has half the reviews after only 2 days and it's in early access too.
>>502750820ole wiz is living the dream
>>502751781delightful
>>502749693But this guy is 50k in debt?
>>502751758this game had 130k wishlists
>>502751758I'm rooting for her to do so because I FUCKING hate AAAslop and realismslop
>>502748374>Maybe it's not amazing for 2 years of dev but still.I'm blown away with the performance for how little is in game so far. I think PC full launch along side all major consoles will be huge for me.
NO NO NO there are TOO MANY gamedevs now it's MY HOBBY my IDENTITY its what makes me DIFFERENT and SPECIAL
>>502751758Tricky Madness already outperformed Banquet for Fools.L for rpgcels writing lore and complex mechanics and intricate UIs
how do i design female characters that look like they fuck human men
>>502750141Like a young girl holding a sturgeon?>>502750529That's actually pretty good. Thank you
>Build up your Freaky meter with spins, flips, grabs, and grinds then perform Wicked Tricks and Wicked Grinds to really score big.The Superman, The Worm, and The Butt Slide Grind are some of the many Wicked Tricks you can unleash as you style on the slopes. didnt know trickydev was so cute
>>502752262Make them shortstacks.
>>502749234a boymoder is a person who is male that wishes they were born female and they take female hormones to make their body more feminine and prevent further masculinization from aging but they continue to dress, act like, and present themselves as a man publicly. usually because they have low confidence that they can pass as a woman so they don't try
>trickydev destroying the competition with only two tracks and two characters
>>502752258banquet for fools will win in the long game
>>502752440>competition
My game won't out perform tricky, but, my next game will be a tricky-like with fat bottomed fox women.
>>502750820days since transwiz seethed about crumble: 0
trickydev did you make your own models? sell me them now!
when a game flops /agdg/ loseswhen a game performs well /agdg/ winsnever 4get
If you release a game then you automatically beat all nodevs forever.
>>502750820Damn you're getting him madHe really does need love bad doesn't he?
>>502752920There are so many nodevs, standing on that pile of corpses will be a thrill

>>502753235damn kids spending their allowances on this crap
>>502753235This_Dev_Will_Not_Get_Their_100_Dollaroos_Back
>>502752306He copied all that from the ssx gamesIt's all so similar I wouldn't be surprised if he got a c&d
retopology is boring
I can't make levels to save my lifei'm cooked
>>502753235niggas will be like "why didn't my game sell?" and when you get to see their actual game it's this shit
>>502745964>Make a horse game>MAKE A HORSE GAME>extremely undeserved audience!>See this? Astride? it's not out yet, 100,000 wish lists! one hundred thousand!fast-forward to release:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1754960/Astride/221 reviewschris zukowski...
I'VE HAD IT!!!HERE'S AGGY'S ULTIMATUMKILL BOCCHIS AND WORSHIP LOLI!!!
>>502753235>>502753519on par with deadblitz
>>502753052Maybe he should try being worthy of love first.
>>502753842Gotta stick the landing (i.e. not make a shit game).
>>502753919aggysisters... we're running circles round these clowns
>>502753596one day AI will retopologize for us. one day...
>>502753975are we though?
>>502752258>>502753484post your immersive deep intriguing soulful stunningly beautiful Game?
>>502717958I thought that was a daschund
>>502753596holy sexo
>>502753947it looks ok, I didn't think horse people would have such high standards for controls. maybe it's really sloppy.
>>502754115Now I know better than to try to make one. It's all colorful slop for me from now on
>>502754101Slopdevs are automatically expelled from /agdg/.We don't associate with them. We don't support them. We don't wanna hear from them ever again.
>>502753842What is the gameplay like?Maybe I should copy this BUT with anime centaur girl?
>>502754258I'm willing to die for the devs of Banquet for Fools.Can someone say the same about you... *checks notes* ...Solitaire Battle dev?
>>502754359and gray ponies
>>502753596How long does it takes to finish a model with this level of detail?
Who the fuck is this troon constantly seething about banquet? It mogs all the tranny shit like plunderground and ToK straight into the mud where they belong
>>50275449110 hours in one day or 5 hours over two days but i'm being constantly dislocated away from my PC so it's taking more than a week
>>502752258>>502754712Kalemonbros this isn't boding well for our future performance...
>>502754435Were you even willing to buy, play, and review their game?>>502754712I keep posting about Banquet for Fools because it's a beautiful and competently made game by experienced developers, and yet it still flopped hard.
first pass at monster info panel is done and started on combat log, bed time anons
>>502754967it will turn around. I saw it posted in a /v/ thread recently
>>502754815She looks awesome
>>502754815GRIM
>>502754967>Were you even willing to buy, play, and review their game?I haven't bought a single game in over 15 years. That's just how I am
>>502754815
>>502752258aggie bros... we... won
>>502751131meds
>>502755178ye,thanks. she's gonna be covered from head to toe with bulky armor plates but they're gonna be... removable, for people who prefer to play the game with one hand rather than playing it effectively
>>502756252But playing with no armor would make the game harder!
>>502756414that's exactly the point sirthe goon troop will have to cope with being one shotted accross the room by NPCs at the cost of being able to see her big features dangling as she moves
>>502756714what game are you making
>>502737002Dogmalike?
I was told I'm Pure Eternus. sounds cool
>>502756934it's gonna be a fearlike FPS but with big tiddy and a bit of loadout customization autism
>>502756934A coomer game
