When should I start learning music? Tempted to put it off for last but then I'll have to either release with shitty early attempts at tracks or sit around fiddling with music for months while the rest of the game is already done
Sending good vibes to all lolidevs.

multiplayer is feasible now for even more sensitive game modes such as racing. hit a solid milestone with my netcode implementation. can now run 16 cars at ~165ping in racing mode with quite smooth gameplay. >vid related

>>502883237Looking very good.
I am the master of the hiatus. In fact I'm on a hiatus right now.

>>502882461Uh fuck no, please don't make a new cycle of v3 shit spam. It so fucking stupid. Please I'd rather just have more loli spam
>>502842674i am NOT making a horror game. There are a million of them and all of them are same SHIT over and over again but with a little quirk. And what's worse, NONE of them are fucking scary!i'm sick of fucking horror games. they are all cloutchasing cashgrabs and i wish they all collectively stopped fucking existing.
>>502883807AI artwork of the future is gonna be heckin sick
>>502882630You should be practicing guitar and keyboard everyday.
>>502884610>Please I'd rather just have more loli spamwhy tho?

I've grinded for so long, I think I'm at the brink of archieving my goal.However I'm so close and still feel like I am so far away from it.
Tacticsbros.... we are so back
hey bros, anyone have a good idea on how to implement a minimap for ue5?i was just using a camera to capture the scene in 2d, but for some reason it's only showing some glowing objects in my level and nothing else, just pitch black.

>>50288504927 years too late
sending good vibes to all rolling ball devs
>>502884987do you have a game yet or have you just been working on this movement system for the past 3 years
>>502885049What's a terror game? Terrorist game? Terror From The Deep?
>>502884987>Tactics
I say! Keep up the progress posts yesdevs.
>>502885189https://www.dictionary.com/browse/terror
i've really been wanting to make a milsim-ish survival horror roguelike.like a roguelike hideous destructor if it had actual user friendly controls and ui.i really think putting a realistically weak human player up against fucked up horror game monsters with the stress of permadeath has so much potential to be kino
>>502884939Programming is easy to get the hang of. You can do it.
>>502885127too big in scope for a first gameslice off part of the game (for example the combat system) and try and roll that into its own gamerelease for free as a webgame on itch, reuse skills and possibly code in your RPG later

it's over bros... mom is making me get a job... I'll never finish my game...
>>502884610>It so fucking stupidWell I'll have you know that we put a lot of time and-oh wait you don't have a game do you. My apologies. I'll go back to talking to real devs.
I heard nobody posts games in aggydaggy anymore

>>502886071wokot 5 will fix that
>>502886071its literally just python... go learn c++ then do game dev
>>502885506Oh thanks, but I don't take advice from Cris
>>502886071Have you tried Unity?
All I do is study, eat, sleep and shitpost. It'll all be worth it, right guys? Programming my dream game will make this all worth it.
>>502885528Dude same... wtf I'm 22 years young why should need to get a job?Like what the fuck? I told her I refuse to work for jews and she bought me a rake and told me to be a businessman, but I'M NOT A FUCKING MEXICAN!!!!I DON'T KNOW HOW A RAKE WORKS!!!! THIS SHIT IS SO TRASH IT BARELY PICKS UP THE FUCKING LEAVES!!!!WHY IS MY MOM SUCH A BITCH!!!!!????
>> Analysis RequestHas anybody played Balatro exhaustively? I just saw it nominated as a Game of the Year and I got interested in its mechanics and hooks. Could anyone break down the hooks and elements that made it such a popular game?
>>502886360absolutely, day even this could be you
Debugging? What's that?All of my code always works straight out of the box.
>>502886443analysis: i played two runs and quit. it was boring.

>>502886212I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LINK A LIBRARY IN C/C++!!!!OK IN COLLEGE WE JUST USED ANACONDA AND JUPYTER NOTEBOOK ALL I DID WAS WRITE IMPORT AND THEN ASK CHAT GPT TO FINISH MY HOMEWORK
>>502886626Low IQonly white people can debug
>>502886529That's literally me. I try to keep it in perspective though. I only wasted 2.5 years on it, and I learned more about engineering and design in those 2.5 years than 4 years in college. And I completely wasted 4 years on grad school (dropped out with Master's) so I'm no stranger to wasting my life.
>>502886223i am not cris
0 good releases... this year sucked nigger ass for videogameswhy is literally everything becoming so shit
>>502886626>All of my code always works straight out of the box.obviously it just werks if you just get it storebought. I grow all my own code gluten and GMO free so it'll be more work but the results are worth it I believe.
>>502882461Shanghai Gold will be there. Was a good opportunity to add non 16:9 support to my game, so I could make the trailer.

It’s actually breathtaking how bad this place has gotten.
>>502886486stop trying to distract me by posting these images
>>502887413so you're telling me she doesn't have a mouth but a functional vagina?
>>502887431*raises pawt'was not me!!
>>502886529Thankfully, I am in a niche community who will absolutely play my game. And not only that, I'm the kind of personality who doesn't care if anyone plays. I WANT to play my game lol. My game is made first and foremost to give me the ability to play a unique game that I can't find anywhere.
>>502886486this will be such an underrated post this is so true
>>502886486climbing a mountain is easy.
>>502887431it's incredible what a few schizos can do
>>502887565Correct!
not but reallydo i have to go through months of unity tutorials and book reading or do I literally start with a game idea and google how to do it in unity every single day forever more until i die
how do i find people to work on a game with? i wanna team up with people and make something as a group, write code for someone elses project or something
>>502887431you're welcome
I'm a loser. I have failed. I'm never gonna make it. I give up.

>>502888223hello
>>502886486Today I was thinking about making a 3d metroidvania with a flat mage wearing a big hat mc, but postnut clarity revealed me that I care about war machines more...
I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here?
>>502888174you dont even need an idea! just start unity
>>502888223*catches u anime style*whoa there champ, thought you were slippin haha good thing we're all here having each other's bros backs, pizza party my place kay >but dont tell anon he's paying >:)

I realized I was going about my state machine/ component system setup wrong.Any advice on how I could easily limit each component to only work while the state machine is within a a state that allows "X" action?I know I could just hard code it, but that would get pretty ugly fast as I add more stuff.
>>502888629she looks like she fucks fat balding nodevs
>>502889082here's a bump for u buddy hope ur state machine gets fixed
>>502885253to be fair I refactor every week/month and work on a hundred side projects!
>>502888185That is called getting a job anon.
>>502889082search for a design pattern that fits your problem
>>502889082isn't this the point of a state machine? Each state corresponds to what a component can do?
>>502888185If you're near a major city then there will be game dev meets up there.That's probably your best bet.You can try stuff like agdg, reddit or your engine's specific forums but you'll probably get a ton of people starting out with no idea what they're doing.
>>502883807Cant wait to play a game in 30 years only to get hit with that 250gb day one patch download and an 8 hour login queue to overwhelmed servers... but ironically
I'm back.
Worked more today on fleshing out more of the over world. Was going to do a bunch of small islands but it would be annoying to navigate the AI enemies properly all over that kind of varied terrain, since I want enemies out in the overworld too. So, it's a lot more land based now.
>>502890445d-did u bring my mcnuggets
>>502890763I love the aesthetics of this
>>502890763interesting, but is it fun?
konichiwa japanese aggydaggy devs
>>502890763Cute.
>>502890763Usually when there's an overworld and you encounter an enemy the game switches to a dedicated battle mode like final fantasy or mount and blade. Are you just skipping that and punching giant enemies in the overworld like a kaiju battle?
>>502891130they look like they fuck yesdevs
Is this engine beginner friendly? Is the language?
what's your marketing plan?never too early to think about marketing
>>502890098>see local dev meetup group>look inside>DEI seminars and trannies
I think I'm gonna quit gamedev and play WoW classic instead...
>>502890793No, I got you a McDonald's apple pie that's as hot as the surface of the Sun.Here, catch.
>>502890967Thanks!>>502891045We'll see. If you liked Cat Quest, you should find this fun too since a lot of it is based off of it (except mine has more puzzles and more fleshed out dungeon-like interiors)>>502891130tyty>>502891207Yeah like I mentioned above, it's similar to Cat Quest where you can fight enemies in the over world the same way you fight enemies when you go into instances.
>>502891501I want a beginner hostile engine and language... I'm tired of all these casuals swarming into my hobby.Yes I know it exists and is called writing everything from scratch yourself in c++.
just saw Vividlope music on a Simpleflips videojust realized Vividlope is at 280 reviewshuh
>>502892075It's not hostile it's fun!!!!!Download raylib!!!!!Make a game in a compiled OOP language!!!!FUN!!!!!
>>502891863damn
>>502892618Maybe building your whole personality around one animegirl who cannot produce a finished game is a bad idea?
>>502892618>OOP
Should I get a part time retail job to finance my game?I've never worked a regular job before, just volunteer stuff.
i will never be a real game developer, it's over
>>502889904ahh shoot, nvm I get it now. lol>>502889296thnks>>502889834this is the correct one, I think
>>502893871It really does help when you have money to pay for parts of development.That said, I would keep it under 20 hours a week if you can. Working full time and doing gamedev is exhausting.
>>502886279If the retard can't figure out Python 2.0 then he's SOL trying to figure out C#
>>502893705yeah some of us use paradigms that allow for actually making games ;^)

How do you feel about game demos?It's extra effort and I worry it won't actually increase sales. Players can always refund if they buy and don't like it anyway.I'm only asking because Steam Next Fest requires a demo.
i decided to become a gamedev grifter youtuber, what should be my first video about?
>>502896880I've never refunded a game but also never bought a game I first played the demo of.
>>502896754I ain't
>>502896129>believing women allegations in 2024if you listen to western women they've always been the victim of something>boohoo i go raped>boohoo i go mansplained>boohoo nobody truly loves me>boohoo the worforce discriminates against meblahblah
>>502896880I think they're good, generally. Especially if you can get them out months in advance of the final game. Mainly because:1) It forces you to narrow down your scope and actually release something2) Releasing something lets you see your game through fresh eyes3) You get feedback on the game early on
>>502896976I doubt you're actually serious, but on the off chance you are you should make a generic, helpful video to cast as wide of a net as possible. You want something that virtually any aspiring gamedev/nodev (ie. the type of people who'd be watching gamedev youtube) to find. Something like "5 things I wish I knew before I started gamedev" or similar videos. Just generic algorithm bait.
>>502896976I Spent 8 YEARS Making A Game - And It Flopped
good night devfriends!
>>502896976Videos about game sales and market trends tend to do well. So do videos about tutorials.

>>502898483Is your game going to be porn? I remembering you posting nipples but I don't recall you suggesting that. Also nice

Now were cooking with gas boys.
imagine agonizing over graphics or screenshots or capsule imagesjust throw whatever shit together and publish it and whether it makes it or not is entirely 100.00% due to luck of some kind
1. "raw" scene,2. with Godot Environment,3. with post processing shaders.(yes, I know I'm an asset flipper and no, I don't know where is the gameplay)
>>502901054Do not listen to this anon. I didn't care about graphics, screenshots, or capsules, and I have 2 sales and 1 refund.
>>502901656But is your game any good
>>502901762A developer cannot say if their own game is good or not in good faith.
>>502901656because you didn't get lucky
I just realized I haven't seen BokuDev recently, is he dead
>>502901612the gameplay is sitting at that table, drinking a cup of tea and scrolling on your phone, wondering where it all went wrong~>>502900703so the toilet fetish furry lolis are just labor slaves for a deforestation venture? i cant wait what your progress has next in store :^)
>>502902050I don't believe in luck. If my game failed, it's because it's bad.
>>502900703i really like the idle animation. I still don't really know what the game is actually about though.
>>502902217I should make a bocchi sipping tea edit
>>502899854it's gonna be an FPS, ironically. I just wanted the MC to be a thick lizard MILF because... why not? it's not gonna have any impact on gameplay. if Pseudoregalia did it, then why can't i do it too?
>>502902164>lame attempt at having people quote your postsput your name back on so i can filter your useless posts

>>502882630you can always make cover versions of classical songs, but if you use any actual recordings, they might be copyrighted
>>502902220that's the mantra they're trying to drill into you to keep you grinding. if we let ourselves understand how many decisive factors are beyond our control, we wouldn't be struggling so hard to make it. they need us to grind to keep us distracted and create value.
began working on artillery
Its actually fucking insane how little progress posting there is in this general anymore. it may actually be too far gone.
How accurate is this?I was going for 10k tris at most on a character but I can't get below 15k without significantly fucking up the model
>>502903114That makes no sense. How is it in "their" best interest to make me keep grinding when my grind just created zero value?
>>502903206>he says while not posting progress
>Interview with BokubeAre you ready to hear about the fear of death and how 1 rabbit stole a decade away from a man?
>>502903206I couldn't progress post for like the last 6 months because I was heads down ship crunching. I'll start progress posting again once someone gives me an idea on what to work on next.
>>502903316>kamala talelmao holy fail
>>502903206there was a lot of progress last thread. What actually should happen is that there should be something like webm wednesday or something where people post something new each week if they want to.
>>502903206Just because we aren't posting progress doesn't mean we aren't making any, okay?
>>502903223You shouldn't care about poly count anymore, focus on minimizing draw calls and GPU state changes. Make texture atlases, combine meshes, etc.

Because that's what I'm doing tomorrow.I'm going to keep learning and learning until I understand C# fluently. I already know that I'm reading this book (The Player's Guide to C#) more than once. Talk shit all you want, but I'm putting in the work.
>>502903171if you're using anything other than pure quadratic functions then you're ghey

>>502904193>artîstè*FUCK
>>502903986>that value doesn't go to you though, but to consumers, to the winners of the competition and ultimately to those who benefit from the economic activity.Market over saturation is bad for everyone though. It's bad for consumers because there is more garbage in the way of finding what they want. It's bad for the winners because my garbage game being in the way makes it take longer for customers to find their game. It leads to reduced economic activity because customers have to spend more time wading through trash which means less time actually buying things.Convincing loser developers like me to grind is lose-lose all around.

>>502904368but there is no way to know in advance what garbage will make it (Cruelty Squad and Undertale) and what garbage will flop (your game and my game) because there are so many factors that go into a game becoming a hit.so that competitive bloodbath is needed and it's in their interest to make you keep trying and to keep believing you can make it and that it's just a question of being good enough.
>>502905316Cruelty Squad and Undertale are not garbage though, those are good games.

>>502904193You're not wrong.

concept art progress
>>502905547you're not listening. those games made it because they got lucky because their developers blindly stumbled onto a concept that found an audience. it's like a song becoming a hit.think about it this way: if it were simply a matter of a game being "good", then big companies would hire good game designers at a million dollars a month and would be shitting out an Undertale or a Balatro literally every week at a fraction of a cost of AAA games. the reason Activision and EA and Ubisoft can't do that is because there is no skill, no method, no insight that can replicate such successes because it's not about skill or method or insight but about luck. the luck of stumbling onto a right concept for the right audience. big studios know they can't work like that, so they invest in games with big production values because that's a more reliable way of making it.

Consider this:>I just saw a video that probably made $150,000. Neat. Only it took 40 days, significant materiel, and a team which I know includes at least three members, though I don't know their exact split. For this guy it clearly beats digging ditches, but there's a term I think about a lot: risk-adjusted capital cost. Certainly if you already have a good channel, like, keep going. However, if you're thinking of getting one, don't. The risk-adjusted profit on this venture is almost certainly negative. The opportunity cost is downright obscene. Which makes sense: Youtube is almost always a hobby, and the fact it's a hobby (that happens to pay money) is priced into the compensation. Sort of like this: if you're doing a thing anyway, you might as well try filming the thing.And remember, YouTubers make MORE than gamedevs, which is why so many "gamedevs" are really just YouTubers who larp as gamedevs to generate their content. So if YouTubers are already in the red, what does that mean for gamedevs?

If you have to choose between the two, always pick the job.I released my game, but went jobless for the last 2 months of development in order to be able to do the necessary 18 hour work days 7 days a week for the final push. It was the single biggest mistake of my life. Recruiters won't even talk to me due to having such a large resume gap. I've basically made it almost impossible to ever get another job.

There are plenty of stories about how "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", but what about the inverse? A game about someone who acts in a self-serving manner and ends up doing good? I like a villain, I think it could work.

How do you decide on your dev name? I did about three hours of dev tonight. I made pretty solid progress. My goal is to have a demo of the first town and dungeon ready by next demo day so I can start to get some real feedback. I did the layout for the first town today. I'm using RPG maker but it's kind of hard to describe what you're looking at from just the picture. It will make a lot more sense in game when you're actually interacting with it. Really I think a lot of the stuff I'll be able to post progress on will probably see retarded until the demo is playable I think.

I was kind of running out of steam working on the battle system so i switched to the tileset handling and kind of have it working how I want. although I feel like i need to decide now whether I'll ever want the player/tiles to have any kind of overlap. I might just go the easy route and make the character and tiles the same size so i don't have to worry about layering anything.

I'm still looking for a hook, something to make you want to keep playing, battles are fun and such but the overworld is really boring, was thinking of going the horror route, maybe add some jump scares if you lose or something, at least it will give me an excuse to have ads on game overs and have people pay to evade them...

>>502935083I lost all my Unity scenes due to a Git LFS corruption last year. This was before I created prefabs of all my scene objects and used hard copy backups. I couldn't recover anything and had to create all my scenes from scratch.I was really upset for a month, but I realised I still had all my code and just needed to rebuild the scenes. It took about 6 months to get back to where I was before the corruption, but in that time I did multiple refactors and cleaned up the UI and scene structure.Overall, it was beneficial to the project. It's all about perspective. Don't see disaster and setbacks as a failure, see it as an opportunity to rise and improve. This is the last video before the corruption.

Another day of expanding the map. I'd say the map is about 75% done now! Then there's a handful of items left to make and npcs and some sound effects. I also had the idea for the first time last night to add multi-player to it. Started looking into all the proper documentation too. Very exciting potential there. I could possibly try and send small packets of whatever video file the host is watching on the TV to the client so the TVs would be synced up despite the client not having the video. The idea is that people would be able to watch files together in real-time or potentially even be able to "rent" the hosts vhs tapes to watch on their own. I'm sure there could be tons of malicious potential sharing video files like that, but it'd be self hosted and up to the client to make sure they are connected safely with people they know?

>>502946294Brother but that's how we all feel. Deciding to stop positively contributing is essentially letting (((them))) win.
>>502886443I played a lot of it. The fun is in three main parts1. EconomyMoney you don't spend (up to a point) makes 20% interest per round. This automatically creates a long term vs short term tradeoff that's fun to push to the limit. Some consumables produce money, and shop rerolls costs increase quadratically, so there's always a question of whether to reroll to try to make more money, or if rerolling has a chance to get a joker/tarot you need. Some jokers scale off of money (either spent or held)2. Jokers Jokers interact with your deck and with each other. They can do basically anything. More points, scale, reverse scale, modify your deck, generate money, upgrade hands, generate consumables, etc. The main hook of the game is figuring out how to use the jokers you have, and weighing the chances of getting something really strong vs the cost of shop rerolls. Jokers which change your deck make you come up with long term strategies which you have to pilot well in the short term to not lose while you're setting up3. The DeckPeople call this game a deckbuilder, but really the deck building is pretty minor. For one, you start with a 52 card deck unlike StS and similar games where you start with like a 10 card deck. For another, the amount of playable cards in the game is extremely limited. It's actually closer to an autobattler like Super Auto Pets where you build at team of Jokers instead of a team of fighting units. The deckbuilding element does matter though, and is mostly there to interact with the jokers. Jokers can benefit from specific deck setups, and Jokers can modify your deck over time It's a weird game, almost just a bunch of random elements thrown together, but it works really well somehow

Maybe if your game is carried by story, but for everything else just type like normal.Diablo II is the only game that actually had some writing that stands up that I can think of. FF9 had some good lines here and there.
I'm gonna memorize in cm the real measures of human proportions by age and gender and race.I'm not gonna relly on inferior shitty methods like using the head proportions.That shit is just not autistic enough to do photorealism.I'm tired of getting the proportions wrong, even if use tricks like the grid or array of heads trick that 3D guys use.So, I'm gonna go beyond such clearly INFERIOR methods and just memorize the actual IRL measures.
>>502954958Making money on steam might save your life. Having enough for rent, a plane ticket, and some food.
>>502954958Thanks just deleted my game, quit my job, divorced my wife and gave up on everything. Imagine how stupid I would have felt if I kept living prior to things getting worse..
>>502955219I'm sure this will make your game enjoyable to play. lol. lmfao even.
>>502954559>but getting 1000+ reviews is absolutely not down to luckiirc there is only double digit of games like this released on steam each year despite the amount of games overall constantly growingAre you implying that everyone else is incompetent?
>>502955363You will not make money on Steam. Go get a real job if you need money.
>>502955532will make the art professional.
>>502955582>Are you implying that everyone else is incompetent?yes? the problem of good game design is so hard that even AAA companies havent solved it, no matter how much money they throw at it. there are only a handful of people in the world who have solved it, most of them probably dont even understand fully why their games keep doing well, but clearly they have it in them otherwise they wouldnt have released multiple successful games in a row
>>502954559>dude, any random idiot can get over 30,000 salesI like how it's so obvious that review count obsessives like you only use review count to make things sound easier than it actually is
>>502955514You'll feel bummed about your wife. But at the end of the day, what will you really miss about her. Like what did she really do. On what level can she not be replaced, or even if not replaced are you really not able to live a more peaceful enjoyable life? Like my point is, women are annoying. Turn the air conditioning to like 67, get a pizza and some beer, watch some TV. And realize nobody is calling your name from another room. Nobody is saying omg it's too cold. Omg pizza isn't good for you. Omg are you drinking at 1pm?? Nobody being a fucking bother. Just peace and happiness.
>>502955816where did i say that any random idiot can get 1000+ reviews? fucking retard
>>502955614Fuck off faggot. Fucking losers giving advice lol. Ya all those people getting surplus wealth by wage slaving. Great advice fuck face.
>>502955829someone's been self medicating with Hammerhand videos
>>502955950Right here:>getting 1000+ reviews is absolutely not down to luck
>>502956053where in that is it implied that any random idiot can do it? do you realize that you imagined that in your head and that i didnt say it at all?
>>502955582NTA but ya, a lot of people are soulless golems meant to work. Not create. They are greedy, uncivilized animals. Unread, unlearned, with no spark of life. Absolutely.
I started watching normalfag gaming youtubers on the side to pass the time and I'm impressed by the amount of garbage they are willing to consume from AAA devs.These fuckers are still clinging to 15 year old games because the newer ones suck balls but they keep buying them.
>>502956121Now you're just dodging the real issue that you're one of those review obsessives who intentionally use review counts to make the bar sound lower.
>>502953457Those are factors that influence risk, but what's the nature of risk? Why can't they know how the game will do during pre-production? After all if they have good designers and good artists and good programmers, they should be able to make a good game that will do well. Unless there are other factors that they can't control for or predict.>>502954559>there are multiple solo indies who consistently have release multiple successful gamesMultiple out of how many? You can get lucky more than once, some people inevitably will. And how many have released multiple successful games compared to those who have released one successful games and then subsequent flops?
>>502956036Idk what hammerhand is. But every guy knows the feeling of being comfortable and hearing their name called. And getting that deep feeling of disgust in their gut and thinking "ughhh, what does she want NOW."A lot of the pain is feeling like she was your possession and you've been betrayed. Just let the trash leave on its own. Recognize it for what it is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBgq8I9AomAwhy you should make TINY games
>>502956527It makes me sick people would do this as a strategy. But I am doing this for fun. But what a disgusting way of thinking. "I'm going to enter a creative venture for the sole purpose of money and come up with whacky tactics." Just make the game you want for fuck sake, stop being a slave to imaginary forces. People sell themselves out for NOTHING.
>>502956761>People sell themselves out for NOTHING.You are already doing that when you try to make any game at all.
>>502956527I'm making a big game so when the "make big games in 2026" video drops I can leave all the losers behind.
>>502954454>Writing is easymassive red flag anyone who says this.>the only way you're going to get decent at it is by doing, not consumingthis is the writing equivalent of "draw 1,000,000 boxes" crab adviceDO BOTH. READ AND WRITE. DO BOTH. ALWAYS DO BOTH. CONSUME. WRITE. BOTH.>>502951452Writing well is about as difficult as using an API. It's somewhat complicated, but not literally impossible. You have to organize your ideas in a way that is coherent and easy to follow. Ignore edgy japanese vaguepost "lore".Write down every single idea you have, even the shitty ones. Find the most effective way to communicate each idea.Once you've communicated your ideas effectively, organize them into groups, and make connections between ideas.>but it doesn't make any sense!it doesn't have to make sense yet. Next step, is to convert everything into a list. Stories are lists. >soullessWrong. chronological structures are lists. Chapters, episodes, seasons, arcs, pages, etc. are all lists.Think like a teacher, ideas you want people to learn FIRST, come first. These are first because later sections rely heavily on these topics to be understood.It's like an algorithm. Identify the dependent and independent variables. dependent variables require certain preceding information to be known to be coherent, put that stuff near the beginning of the story, or make a mystery out of it. independent variables *can* be placed literally anywhere in the timeline, but reading a lot will give you a preference for specific chronological placements of ideas. You don't want to introduce ideas too late or readers will assume you just pulled it out of your ass.
>>502956761having enough money is the base requirement of having a good life.
>>502956858No I'm not. I'm making games that I think are fun and others will enjoy. I enjoy making a polished project, I enjoy contributing to something.
>>502956761its for the anons here that are obsessed with making money so you're not the target audience
>>502954958Making a successful game is my last and only hope of getting two cute wives. There's nothing else I could do.
>>502956942And you think selling out your dream game for a mini game is going to magically make you a winner? The guy making that video makes more on youtube than on games, and all his games are BORING. What the fuck does he actually know. Just be a winner for once in your life and have the courage to follow your heart.
>>502928621>his hail mary is an pixel art platformerI mean the shopkeeper looks hot but not sure that will enough to sell when the actual graphics look like that. Should've unironically tried making porn
>>502957182Following your heart will get you 2 sales on Steam.
>>502957329Steam is full of autistic games making millions. And full of platformer slop that has failed.Your intuition has been honed for millions of years to guide you. "NO IGNORE POWERFUL GENTETIC SYSTEMS LISTEN TO THOMAS BRUSH WHO MAKES CONTENT TO SUPPORT HIMSELF THAT'S A BETTER DECISION!"
>>502955582Yes. Show me one "hidden gem" that is actually a "gem" that completely bombed. Doesn't happen. There is ALWAYS a reason. Steam is entirely merit based
https://youtu.be/FBgq8I9AomA?si=SzBcO1p5PDaG4lrB&t=546i think this part of the video has some useful information.make a tiny but scalable game, if it does well you expand on it. its solid advice and rare coming from this guy.
>>502957532>Steam is full of autistic games making millions.Sure, but you and I aren't one of them.
>>502956916>nigga i just make shit up when i writethat's faster, but uncontrollable. if you plop a random cool idea into your story, it might be very expensive to implement. vagueposters always just plop in whatever random concept with zero cohesion, that's why they always have lore like "The EPIC GREAT WAR just flew over my house!"
>>502957732Does spending 3 years and 300k on art count as a small game? Maybe he should take his own advice...
>>502957848Ok loser.
>>502957732The new meta is now>Release a bunch of garbage quickly and hope it makes it bigAnd I fucking hate it. That Unicycle Pizza Time game looks like absolute trash.Fuck off.
is bluesky worth?i'm browsing the discover page and it looks like ass
>>502957732I hate this guy with a passion.
>>502957928Post your sales figures. You don't have to show your game, just a screenshot of your millions of sales with the rest cropped out.
>>502957732are you his agent? you post his every upload in this general.
>>502957182I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with making games for money, given how time consuming it is.
>>502957923>300k on artfor real? it looks nice but there is 0 chance it makes its money back if that's true
>>502958004Right, completely agree. Now, that doesn't mean a short story isn't enjoyable, just like a short game can be enjoyable. The train spider game is an example of that. I haven't played it, but I'm fine with the idea of a little short action packed game with some fun characters in a fun setting. It's like junk food. The problem is when people are like WELL FUCK IF MUFFINS SELL I'LL TAKE AN OREO AND DEEP FRY IT ADD A STICK OF BUTTER TO IT AND COVER IT IN 2 CUPS OF SUGAR!" And it's like, just fuck off.
>>502958004no you make a tiny idea and expand on it. unicycle is a one and done game.>>502958093just trying to help and im lonely
>>502958046Ok so the reverse of this must mean your tiny game made millions right? You're just wasting everyones time with these shitty boring posts.
>>502957923he started 3 years ago when the gamedev landscape was drastically different and easier
>>502958005how the fuck do i read tweets on bluesky? i can see what the people i follow post and that's it
>>502958427No, my big game made 2 sales. I'm trying to help you not waste your time.
>>502958108I think there is something wrong with it, unless you admit you're just a craftsmen and this is your craft. And that basically you don't have a dream. Not everyone is an idea guy, and it's absolutely fine to be a craftsmen. But there is absolutely something wrong with being like, well, I can make a game that I think needs to be made and is fun, or I can chase trends. I'm not saying you're evil, but you are lesser than me.
>>502958551With my small game I assume I'll make nothing. I'll make it polished and use every trick I can to appeal max. But my hopes lay with my RPG. Which is a multiple year process.
>>502958468>zoomer thinks 3 years is an amount of timeit isn't, it's basically the same instant
>creator of Cultic>new game sold 50 copiesoooofffindie dev is dead
>>502958218Steam likes FPS games, and it doesn't look bad. I think there's some hope. But I don't think he considers this a small game. He said he's like 500k deep I think.
>>502958218I think it's going to do really well. There's a gap in the market for a Bioshock-inspired game.
>>502951134I saw the name field filled out and I was wondering if this would be a fake cris but as a crisologist I verify this post as authentic and quality crisposting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIcqucTw_Kghe did it
>>502959062I don't think people really care about BioShock in 2024But maybe you're rightThe one thing I know for sure that it's missing is an Elizabeth thoughShe is like 75% of the marketing/posts behind Infinite and it worked
>>502939987>cris is a genuine lolicon tholol no hes not
>>502945381Nevertheless, super cool. 10/10
>>502959398>he doesn't know
>>502959839>>502959839>>502959839
>>502958579I was going to reply at length, but I remembered I'm an actual game developer who's making a living from games. I may be just a lowly craftsman, but you're an idea guy who's probably never shipped anything. I've been where you are but you haven't been where I am.
>>502958949Correction, 54 copies.
>>502958949Damn, I follow him and I didn't realize he released the game
>>502959970If you could FUCKING READ I said being a craftsman is fine.
>>502960545Of course it's fine, but arguing with never-shipped-anything idea guys is not.
>>502960924Keep hiding. Keep backing yourself into a corner instead of standing proudly behind your claims. Fucking coward.
>>502955829>Marriage isn't always easy, that's why it's better to be alone so you can eat treats and watch the latest goyboxBocchi posters just are redditors in upvoted withdrawal
>>502961249No, you're crying over spilled milk. I believe in training your spouse. Being straight forward when they annoy you. Training them to not annoy you. But if the bitch is gone, just be honest. WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY MISS. You likely just miss owning her. Not her. Replace her. The treat comment was just to retrain your brain to remember what life was like before misery took over.

>>502932178>>502932268i feel like this is how the entire audience is for indie games nowadays... i never wish i had a time machine so much before.
