i'm already recieving all the good vibes as a femdev
Top 3 /agdg/ Hall of Fame1. Cris2. Froggy3. Ronny RedpillThank you for your attention.
Sending good vibes to all lolidevs.
you can't demoralize me!
>>503119078imagine making lolislop games, this is so sad, steam does not like them, they're ngmi
Should my game be dark and griddy?

>>503119078good vibes received <3
I think I discovered an algorithm to draw a face.wtf.
>>503119519when i was first learning how to draw i went through some entire course called by riven phoenix called how to draw the human body or something like that. it reminds me a lot of what youre doing right now where youd break the skull and different body parts into boxes and draw them like that to learn proportions i found it helped a bunch but honestly i think just the mileage of forcing myself to draw everyday and study anatomy was what really did it.
Wish I had fun little ideas like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2gudlHohY4
>>503120502I just need a method to get the measures correct.loomis charts doesn't have a clear algorithm and they relly too much on guessing.
Even simulated Bocchis are worthless and won't just like make game. The occasional smack helps with the ADHD, but inevitably leads to distress and temper tantrums. Smack 'em around too much, they pass out on the floor. Fucking worthless.
>>503120696cool ya ignore what i just said continue on posting ugly faces i guess
>>503120735sorry...
>>503120037No such vibes exist.
Hey guys. I was thinking about starting my own restaurant. I've eaten a lot of food throughout my life, and so I think I have what it takes to open a restaurant. What? No, I've never tried cooking anything before, but how hard could it be anyways? I should try making instant noodles first? What is this amateur hour? Only the finest cuisines can please my sophisticated palete. I'm trying to make a restaurant that *I* want to dine in, and not some mass produced goyslop. I don't have any money, and I have too much social anxiety to apply for a loan. I suppose I'll need to build my restaurant by hand. I have to learn not just how to cook, but land surveying and construction as well? That's fine. Even if it takes me a decade, I'm sure I can finish if I just stick to it. By the way, can anyone recommend me some tomato strains that I can find seeds for so I can start farming the ingredients for my ketchup?
I'm gonna show you how great I am!

Project FACTime invested: 141h 16mStatus: imported a single 3D model into the game and it renders! I'm at least at 3% development now!Cups of coffee I had this week: 0
I hate this fat fuck so much. Why did he allow AIsloppa on Steam? It's gonna make the market unbearably hard to compete in with all the slop that's already pushed on there.
>>503121557Bring me a sammich when you get back.
>>503121665I'm really liking his new look
>>503121071There's Alice representation too. Meet Alice-chud, when she gets distressed enough (which happens rapidly) she'll go around spreading distraction among the Bocchis and eating all the snacks in the break-room (which you're supposed to feed to Bocchis to ease their distress)
cпoкoйнoй нoчи, /agdg/
>>503121228Wrong subreddit, strangerino. We're all just hobbyist cooks here.
>>503121864/agdg/ sim?
>>503120857I'm not trying to be mean or insult you.My biggest issue for years was that I couldn't get the proper proportions, because I lacked a method to get them right.Honestly,this method feels like better than loomis because It requires less guessing.
>>503121864Lmao. You should make the blue guy smash the purple guy's head into the desk like how Kratos smashes the head of the Sirens into the ground in God of War.
>>503119078I feel the need to add a cute child to my game now
>>503122009Yes ma'am. Gotta manage your staff to get projects done on time. Bocchis are constantly distracted and wander away from their desks. Alice-chud is easily distressed, will distract others, and steal snacks. Leave a gun laying around? A distressed Bocchi might take the easy way out. Furries distress Bocchis and can only be defeated with fire. Lolis distract Bocchis and attract the attention of law enforcement. Only by meeting deadlines can you advance to the next project in a bigger office with more employees, gaining access to new items but also having to deal with more Bocchis, Alices, Furries, Lolis, Cops, Firefighters, Undercover Indians who disguise themselves as Bocchis, hang out, and don't actually do any work, Chinese who will sneak around sneakily and attempt to steal your work/progress, and the ever-present risk of Bocchis eloping and just walking away from it all.
Seriously doe, why the fuck do I get no sales but my wishlist numbers keep growing? How does this make sense?
>aislop OPdead thread
>>503119078I just want everyone to notice that no one ritualposted in /agdg/ before /vg/ lolitroon gachashart tourists invaded, really says it all about how cancerous these "people" are. When kannadev or alicedev or troondev gets doxxed with death threats don't act like they didn't have it coming.
>>503123449Your game is overpriced. Those wishlists are saying that they'd be willing to give your game a try if it was on sale at 80-90% off.
>>503123837My competition sales for way more than I do (base price without discount)
>>503124114Your competition either has way more content than you do (good game that sells itself) or has put in way more marketing effort.
>>503123449>>503124114He's not lying to you. If you're getting wishlists but nobody is buying it means they're waiting for a sale. I don't know why your competition manages to sell but that's irrelevant.And as a gamer(tm), I'm not buying anything until the big Fall sale later this month
>>503121665MadoDev ㅋㅋㅋ
I think a lot of the bugs are dealt with for now. I think the most questionable bug was the game started calling one function after every action even though it is only suppose to work with certain actions, I think it's fine, but I had to add a is valid check and it removed the errors. There is one major bug left and that is code is paused if error tolerance isn't close enough, so I have to optimize that
>>503123724>kannadevWhat did I do now?
>>503124419Oh no no no no no no no
>>503124760>Steam Support KishaLet me guess. Tranny?
>>503124760my copy of koikatsu party begs to differ
Reached a point that I'm more or less satisfied. Tomorrow I will add the other colors and make fine adjustments.
>>503125340Cute.
>>503125340aye thats good
>>503125340Nigga you been working on this since covid
>>503124760Total lolinigger death
>>503125340this is looking very nice
Which perspective?
>>5031256352
>>503124760how did this get approved when the dev is a blatant lolicon?
>>503125883Because at no point in that game do you take their clothes off and have sex with them.
>>503125883is this porn?
>>503126003proof?
>>5031256352 for me. We see pics left to right as westerners, so having the pipe as the lead in with breathing room feels good.
does sending good vibes actually work?
>>503126305yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-7foxHfhE4
>>503126305retard
>>503125883what loli retards don't understand is that you can make a SFW porn game like pokemon and touhou and it will be ok, because is a SFW game that the porn is made by others.why is so hard to understand the concept of safe for work porn?
>>503125883>my loli game only has pantyshotsphew, looks like I'm safe
>>503126194its on steam.
>>503127071You definitely should eric. how's chocolate game going btw?
>>503116772>an anon recommended this tutorial>Peter's massive Blender tutorialHoly shit, this is like one of the first videos I favorited on Youtube.Insane if it's still relevant.
>>503127342I'm not him, but you're a schizo so I probably can't convince you.
>>503126003Yeah but they take off their clothes and have sex with each other
>>503127682>no progress on chocolate gameit's ok, you deserve a break
>>503127071it's clearly too big for his head.
>>503127993lewd...
Godotchads we did it!Timmy's giving away Brotato next week
>>503120053I can see this happening. I'm seeing some high quality games of a specific type get 50-250 reviews while one that appeared maybe 2 years ago has 2k+ reviews. The newest one I saw is much higher quality and yet around 100 reviews. Now if only I could convince them to team up with me, the skills transfer immensely to a completely different genre. An utter gold mine but I'm not telling them about it and they get rich without me.
>>503120053you people have no idea how utterly demoralizing shit like this is
>mfw I realized my 0 post twitter account has 220 followersare these all bots?
>>503129207Make games for fun.Not for profit.
how do engines do sound stuff? SDL mixer seems to have no way of panning specific sounds left or right so i guess if i wanted sounds to the left of the player to play in the left ear i'd have to find out which of the 16 channels (which i still dont get wtf a channel is) the sound is playing in and then set that channel to pan to the left based on that sound and then unset the channel to pan to the left when the sound is done (which it doesn't tell me when a sound is playing or not) and if i want to pause audio when the game pauses i have to pause every channel but then i can't play menu sounds so i have to keep 1 or 2 channels not paused and somehow not allow any other sounds to play in these channels and like wtf even am i doing at that pointare sounds this complicated in an engine? is it just playsound();
>>503120053>>503129207Personally I found the experience of flopping to be rather liberating. So you failed: now you can stop trying to succeed and just have fun messing around.
>>503129296>makes a game for fun>no one plays it
>>503127682>>503128140Kill yourself eric schizo.
>>503129207What's demoralizing? Somebody else made a shit game that nobody wants to play and you feel bad about it?
>>503129919>What's demoralizing?that could be me
I'm reading that book about Blizzard's history and it sounds like it was really fun to work for Blizzard in the late 90s/earlys 2000s.Going to strip clubs, playing pranks, eating pizza, sleeping in the office, working on Diablo 2, etc.
>>503119109You know need a gamedev license to publish games online. It requires taking a 4 year batch of courses which costs $50k in all. After satisfactory passage you are required to pay for a 5 year gamedev license which can be renewed once every 5 years. Cost of the license is $25k, renewal is $5k.Will this demoralize you from touching gamedev?>>503121665Gabe worshippers on suicide watch kek. I will never ever understand the losers who worship this fat fuck loser all while having some massive cognitive dissonance. They hate seeing certain games and not realize he is the reason they're allowed on there or worshipping him for allowing refunds while ignoring it was Australia that bent his arm back until he cried uncle. Not to mention the Chinese that have him whipped like the family pig>fake reviews>fake wishlists>fake followersDrawing more attention to their games with the same methods that would have me instantly banned from selling my game. Somehow all of these people overlook that he's solely in it for the money. I await the day Steam has a new leader and it inevitably IPO's and goes downhill at an even faster rate. This is all necessary for me to be able to sell my game on my own website without losing 30% of the revenue to this guy and instead maybe just a 10% loss to the payment processor.
>>503127485I was the one who recommended that. It's not relevant anymore because the blender version he uses is way too old. But that anon uses the old version, so I jumped at the opportunity to shill for pete. Check out my first 3D model, from 10 years ago (someone please kill me) I did just after watching that tutorial.Pete chads, assemble!
sending bad vibes to all bocchidevs
>>503130579BASED
>>503128586But local nodevs were convincing me not so long ago that any good game can get 1000+ rewies and if it cant this means the developers just suck
>>503130532and her friend, model 2!
>>503130689Yesdev here (3 sales, 0 reviews). If a game is genuinely good it can easily get over 30,000 sales. If it doesn't, your game just sucks.
Demoralization posts are only demoralizing to retards who are making a bad game that nobody wants to play. Just like make a good fun game that people want to play.
help me
>>503130532>>503130820cute
>>503125883Everyone knows Valve's moderation is garbage and whether or not your game is approved is completely dependent on which moderator is looking at your game. NFT games are supposed to be banned but there's a bunch of them too.
>>503131393thats my cope but is it really true
Made the mistake of peeking at the blender reddit again and now I'm depressed. Why did I have to be born a talentless retard... This guy did in one month what I've been working on for two years, but better in every conceivable way. All that grinding, all those stressful nights, and I'm simply not as good as someone with raw talent.
>>503131707Yes, it's true, but don't mistake your bad game that nobody wants to play for a good game that people want to play.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/296870/Dreaming_Sarah/This agdg game has 2k+ reviewsI guess this dev one of the most competent developers ever existed and the game is so good almost everyone would want play it from the first glance right?
>>503130482>Will this demoralize you from touching gamedev?no, it just means I have to rob a bank to publish my game
>>5031323452015 steam was very different mr anon
>>503132345this wouldn't even get 10 reviews today
>>503121665Gaben doesn't give a single shit about video games anymore.
>>503132567No, it would get about 30 reviews today. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1164460/Monospaced_Lovers/

I think I'm actually going insane. I enjoy talking to myself way more than I enjoy engaging with other people. I'll spend the entire day at work sitting in complete silence and then as soon as I'm in the car driving home I'm having full on conversations with myself and imaginary people. I imagine myself being interviewed by myself, I think of thoughtful answers to the questions I asked, and I even play the part of the people in the audience watching myself be interviewed by me. I'm spending way too much time living in my own head in layered scenarios that don't and will never exist. My real life has begun to take a backseat.
>>503129570I use raylib and it's more abstracted than that.Surprised sdl mixer is so barebones
>>503132964whats your game?

gamepass is the real enemy, there are people who have adopted it as their only ecosystem
You will never guess why Anubisdev got banned from Twitter
>>503133741good
>>503133720Yeah I don't think Microsoft has realized it yet but they're fucking themselves in the long term.I would've probably bought Dead Island 2, Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones after they went on sale.But now I just wait for the gamepass release.
>>503133720you get paid directly by the company for being on gamepass.
>>503133039Raylib was made for building videogames, SDL was created to make it easier to make cross-platform applications back in the 90s. It shouldn't be a surprise.
>>503131759>raw talentIt's a meme, every skill can be learned and honed. People with "raw talent" aren't born to do X from the start. Nobody picked up a guitar and played it flawlessly without ever trying first. Maybe some are inherently a little "better" than others, but with some basic intelligence and constant work even chimpanzees can learn complex things like the sign language.
>>503133506Do you need:>An idea for a puzzle mechanic which you can build an entire puzzle game off of>An idea for a puzzle to add to a game that isn't about puzzles but you want a puzzle section>An idea for a puzzle for an existing puzzle game with it's own rules and mechanics
>>503131759its a lot easier to learn blender now, just invest your time on iti had to begin with 2.79x which was like 10x worse and devoid of features
What do you think about Lunacid?
>>503134170games should be themselves and not other games
>>503134170dev is a fag
>>503134170Looks and sounds great but its way too easy and the story is doodoo
>>503134235I don't understand.
>>503131759Just practice, bitch. Blender is really fun once you start improving and learning all the different shortcuts. Plus be honest with yourself, you don't need professional quality modeling skills for a game you're likely making by yourself.
Everyday I'm getting a little smarter. Everyday I'm getting a little closer.
>>503132345now do a review estimate for https://store.steampowered.com/app/2505210/Awakening_Sarah/
>>503134343games should be themselves and not other games!stop cloning games you like! be original!
is 30 reviews good?
>>503133921yeah but are you on gamepass?
>>503134170I haven't played it, but from the footage I've seen it has the feeling of a game that was cobbled together by an amateur. I mean that as a good thing. I wish more indie devs would embrace that fact that they aren't professionals and just like make game without worrying about smoothing everything out to give this false impression that a competent studio is behind the game.
>>503134960not really
>>503133990There are savants that are just naturally more talented than other people but its rare and usually is paired with extreme mental illness. My brother really could pick up any instrument and play it without any practice, it was incredible, and he was also an extremely talented artist but he's cripplingly schizophrenic.
>>50313496030*60 = ~1800 sales @ $15.00 = $27,000 * 0.7 = ~19k grossSo about 6 month wages at McDonalds... I guess it depends how long it took to make.
>>503134960I wonder if marmo would accept fanart to update his capsule
>>503134680My guess is around 200 considering his previous audience but I never played it and judge solely by the trailer so maybe it has some hidden quality?
>>503135214Gotta factor regional price differences and refunds too
>>503135214you are way off
>>503135310>>503135312Depends on how you estimate it
>>503135214>~1800it's closer to ~900
>>503134960Think of it like this:>you and your wife decide have a child>you spend 18 years raising your son, giving him all you have>you dream of the day he grows up into a strong and capable young man>only for him to end up as a loser who spends all day taking screenshots of Steam pages to post on 4chanIt probably feels something like that.

Those of you that do 3d modeling, do you ever use a drawing tablet? I'm thinking of getting one as there arereally good deals at the moment and I'm looking to expand my game design by starting 3d modeling in blender instead of only using premade assets
>>503137106What happened to using reference?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pPatjPW1sk
>>503137234Where else would I go?
>>503138421No, I only use a tablet for 2D drawing.
>>503138409It's not "review count = good game" it's "sales = good game." Review count is just smoke when what really matter is the fire.
>>503137234Two reasons:1. Anonymity2. I believe that some day this place will pay off and score me a good team to make my dream game.
>it's "sales = good game."
Almost done with my new workflow. Just need to finish memorizing it
>>503138489I'm using a mouse.
>>503138968Good games don't flop. Fact.
>>503138421Yes, an intuos 3, but just for sculpting.
>>503138421i'm using my mouse because my dog chewed my pen
>>503139026Idiot. You should use a human for reference.
>>503138765The review to sales count back then was much better or so I suspect. People weren't going out of their way to review games back then like today with>I should review it to help the dev>I should review it quickly for a dopamine hit from all the awards I might get
>>503139081Bad games can succeed. Fact.
>>503139283I'm tracing photo reference.That's simply an imagination exercise to try to remember how to draw it after doing the reference work.
I've started learning assembly this week and I have concluded that I am not as stupid as I feared.
>>503139081My game is good, flawless even, but it is being made for a very small audience(Me)
>>503139081Fact Check™: True>>503139354Fact Check™: Also true
>>503139081I get it, I made a bad game, can you stop bullying me about it?
>>503139438I like to draw the ref a few times from different angles and then try draw from imagination. I bought a 6" plastic skull to do this from life. helps to understand the 3d volume, not just the proportions on a flat front facing view, since you will struggle with proportions once you try to rotate the head/features/deal with foreshortening etc.
>>503139923The bullying will continue until the games improve.
>Good games don't flo-
>>503118680checkout my new road bros, just whipped it up in photoshop>vid relateim redoing/making assets for the whole project this and next week
>>503138421Nah.That kind of hand sculpting takes a long fucking time to do.A much faster workflow with about the same quality is just to slap a bunch of alpha stamps all over your sculpt and call it a day.
>>503140164Great work, anon, keep it up.
>>503139236lmao
gamedev.tv doesn't have any courses specifically useful for gamedeving from scratchThere's asset production courses and a raylib courses, sure, but I already bought those in the pastOther than that, it's all Unreal or UnityMaybe I won't spend my $50 on this shit after all
>>503140164nice. also first time I noticed you have actual reflections going on, with the yellow strips at the back there. maybe you always had it but that made it stand out to me.
>>503140164Is the road a separate model on top of the dirt or did you blend one texture together? Looks really nice, man.

Trying to market a bad game is a waste of time and money. You should focus on making a good game first before worrying about marketing.
I really love this game.

>>503143441Sure, but I've never worked on a project for longer than 3 years. The longest I've spent on one game is 2.5 years.

>>503144091When GMI devs spend 3 years on a game, they have a solid, content-complete MVP a few months in, and the rest of the time is spent polishing. When NGMI devs spend 3 years on a game, they're progressively adding little content bits and scope creeping an incomplete, unpolished game the entire time.

>>503145091It's just the gamedev version of the observation that successful things are successful before they're even good. If the game doesn't have explosive demand by the time it's first playable, it's a waste of time and you should move on to something else.>To illustrate my point, consider the history of cell phones. Early cell phones had bad reception all the time. They dropped calls. They had few features. They were expensive. They didn’t fit in your pocket. Yet cell phones were successful, at least in terms of demand, on day one. Despite the many flaws of cell phones—flaws that lasted decades—demand started brisk and stayed strong. The poor quality of the product made no difference.>Fax machines followed a similar path. The early fax machines were slow and spectacularly unreliable. They would eat your original and only sometimes deliver a legible copy to the other machine. Still, fax machines had demand from the beginning.>The first personal computers were slow, expensive, nonintuitive, and crash prone. And still the demand was explosive.>In each of these examples, the quality of the early products was a poor predictor of success. The predictor is that customers were clamoring for the bad versions of the product before the good versions were even invented. It’s as if a future success left bread crumbs that were visible in the present.

>>503132345Oh yeah, I'd definitely have gotten rich if my game released back then, this is the level of skill I have. Not the first game of this type of quality I've seen with great success. These types, in terms of graphic's quality, are rarer on the success nowadays.

>>503147545You're not allowed to make successful games in successful genres that gamers enjoy. Just like me, you must waste your time making obscure, ugly games in genres that don't exist for an audience that doesn't exist. (My game isn't real, except in my mind.)

>>503147545nothing but gambling roguelikes are soulless and cancer, it's essentially a predatory genre that wastes players' time with psychological tricks10 years from now i don't think anyone will be happy to have wasted 1000 hours in say balatro when it was fotm, this era will be remembered as a really shitty era for indie games
>>503148603I recently replayed Half-Life 2 after it did its 20th anniversary update, and I would love to make a game that was basically just the Highway 17 roadtrip.
>>503148183cool, looks spooky. yeah 3d can be a lot of work. but so can 2d, just really depends on how much depth you give it

I enjoyed them greatly and yet not popular like those games that have 10k, 30k, or even more than 100k. Then again I've seen games I like suddenly go from niche to normie adopted all of a sudden because>"WAOW le youtuber made me interested">"WAOW it's finally on steam, screw downloading the free version from this clearly safe website!"Those types only bought it because of the parasocial relationship they have with the dev or the youtuber who played it or simply just wanting to fit in.

>>503149894It applies to entertainment just as much as everything else>When Fox launched The Simpsons in 1989, it was a national phenomenon on day one. Everywhere I went, the topic of The Simpsons came up: “Did you see it?” Interestingly, as much as The Simpsons is rebroadcast in syndication, you won’t often see that first season repeated. The reason, I assume based on clips I’ve seen, is that by today’s standards it would be judged to be embarrassingly bad. The original art looked amateurish and the writing was violent, sophomoric slapstick. Compared with today’s episodes, the first season of The Simpsons was an awful product. Again, the quality didn’t predict success. The better predictor is that The Simpsons was an immediate hit despite its surface quality.

After watching the RPG Maker showcase this week I finally started reworking all the overworld character sprites for Knight Shift as they're the weakest part of the game visually. Pretty happy with how they're coming out, never done pixel art before in earnest.
>>503150128That's a better comparison, certainly, but it doesn't really change the fact that shoveling out game prototypes in the hopes that they become huge hits is retard behavior and that all of the "success stories" of people doing that were, universally, people making games that they genuinely cared about and weren't chasing trends to begin with.

>>503149409
>>503150478This isn't an encouragement to shovel or trend chase because a shoveled out trend chaser is not going to see explosive demand. What really matters is getting early confirmation if an idea is good or not. If the prototype isn't liked, sure, you can keep working on it for passion or whatever, but you also have to accept that it won't be successful in the end.
>>503150771Thanks pal, it was a youtube thing, I was blown away with how good some of the presentation was and was like "man I gotta redo my shit"
Should I?Note that I might use Unity only instead of also Unreal, or vice versa, so I could remove either the Unity course or the Unreal course from the cart depending on what engine's better (and possibly add a different course in its place)

>>503155528lmao when I hear gym, I don't immediately think of working out. my first thought is "pokemon gym"Imagine brain age but there's a challenge with a themed puzzle alongside math problems or w/e, and a "boss math problem" at the end

>>503154916This is what I'm talking about >>503155457this retarded nigger has brain damage. He will never play the game like a normal person because he has issues and posibly ADHD and developmental problems. You will never be able to accommodate his mental illness no matter how you change your game. NEVER. You're better off ignoring him and just making the game with the expectation that normal people will play it.
>>503155760Just make the claw AI controlled.
>>503155728What book?
Made a menu, character customization, and added basic snowball throwing.

>>503154897You're legitimately retarded/underaged if you truly believe this. The consequences of any nation launching a nuclear attack far outweigh the potential benefits. Real life isn't a video game or a movie, you don't suddenly "win" when you blow up your enemy's capitol.Any "war" that breaks out between the west and Russia is going to be fought primarily through aggressive sanctions and (at most) the occasional state sponsored terrorist attack on foreign soil that leaves just enough plausible deniability for the state behind it. No one is getting invaded. No one is getting nuked.I know this isn't /pol/ but I hate seeing people reduce themselves to living in a state of constant paranoia over a future that's never going to arrive. Turn off the news, stop reading tabloid shit, then go out and enjoy your life if you truly think it's about to end.

>>503155997>brown person suddenly faced with the uncomfortable realization of how the rest of the world sees him
>>503155784Wtf are you talking about? There are games like Fallout, Etrian Odyssey, or any WoW-clone MMO. Basically, any open-ish world game with non-scaling enemies. They make it very clear that you're not supposed to be able to beat those enemies because you do no damage to them and they insta-kill you. Meanwhile, a game like Dark Souls show you really hard enemies, but your attacks do non-trivial damage to them, and there are ways you can avoid all damage from them, and so those enemies are presented as beatable, so long as you have the skills.
Yep, it's dev time
should i go back to making a moba ?
>>503155167>>503155784The most I was considering is moving this encounter to just a little bit later in the game (and rebalancing so it's still very hard at that point, but hopefully the player has some idea how to play by then). That way a stubborn player can at least defeat it on the tenth try or something. You probably have the right idea, I don't think I should reward that kind of behavior unless the player really knows what they're doing.>>503155457It's possible to beat, it just requires a very specific plan to prepare for it which my player didn't do because they were too new at the game to know how. This enemy appears in my tutorial mission. I guess some players like fighting brick walls? I would prefer they just finish the mission and come back later.
OK -- instead of buying some online course, should I buy a book in the topic I'm interested in?And before you say, just "pirate it":1. publishers make that hard unfortunately2. I like physical media more than digital media

>>503156514>I don't think I should reward that kind of behaviorWhat I mean is that dumbfucks who play in this way are a mentally challenged minority that should not be accommodated. You don't owe it to anyone to place gigantic indicators that tell players what can and cannot be done. The most you need to take care of is not placing any mandatory progression behind an impossible challlenge. Anything else is completely valid. Normal players give up on an impossible obstacle after the ~3 try. Masochistic morons are going to try 60 times even if you make it utterly unbeatable. Never ever ever try to balance your game around radical outliers

I have a serious question for you guys. When I say "the last good game ever released was Disco Elysium". Do you actually understand what I mean? Can you conceptualize what I'm talking about? Do you understand what "good game" means and why there are no more of them past 2020?If you can't sense that x factor that separates the true games from the fake how do you trust your own judgment on making design decisions for your own game?It's important to know if you understand what I mean exactly, even if you disagree with me.
>>503158413AI hands and a gameplay loop
>>503158747I am adult, so I understand that other people have tastes and opinions that may differ from my own and I don't concern myself with what others think any more than that basic understanding.

>>503157680>>503157967thanks for the feedback. i don't really think the boys look that similar except for their bodies cuz my limited art skills. but i kinda see where your coming from. aelius (green hair one) is a character returning from my previous game i just gave him a haircut and new outfit. the story isn't really solidified but with what i'm thinking right now him and laplace (hat guy) are gonna have pretty different roles. that link you sent seems cool so i'll definitely be taking a look at that.
>>503158747ufo50 is good, scram kiddo.

Why would anyone use GameMaker in 2024? Doesn't YoYo Games continously make GameMaker free and then paid over and over to make money?
>>503158914>>503159036>>503159105>>503159118>>503159130The fact of the matter is that even if you disagree with me you need to understand where I'm coming from to understand why the decline of gaming is happening. If you have the interest or curiosity to figure that tangled knot out you could reasonably navigate the post 2020 market. If you are disinterested because of a closed mindset or something similar then I don't like your chances of getting anywhere, because you're displaying qualities that are indicative of a mindset that doesn't like learning, staying alert, or adaptingIt's more about the principle and less about whether you share my views
>>503159441"I read a lot of novels" is exactly what some who doesn't like to read would say
How is this allowed?What kind of low inhib piece of shit do you have to be to simply name your game the same as an existing game and not give a shit?
>>503159568Grow up
>>503156859They cute
Gaming is better than ever before. No one can name a single dev who made it with the mindset that the industry is in decline and that it's their duty to reverse that.
>>503159712If that wasn't allowed some Indian would flood the steam with shovelwear (even more than it already is) just hog all the one word game titles

I can see why mentally ill leftoids love it so much but it made my skin crawl.I'm not at all surprised that the libshit studio that created it imploded in a whirlpool of retarded drama and backstabbing as soon as they got a whiff of success and money. So thankfully there won't be another one of these shit games.
>>503159712And here I was fretting over some big "indie" company trademarking my game's name before I started using it online thus preventing me from easily claiming I used it first.
>>503159517It's easy for people who don't know how to code to quickly learn.It's free until you publish your game.When you publish a game it's a single one time fee.It's consistently been used to produce successful games, proving it's a capable engine.There's really nothing wrong with it for 2D games. At the end of the day what matters is how good of a game you make.
Why not a single developer of the funny arched nose collection of families has mixed the concepts of a skinner box with a slot machine, with the concepts of brutally defeating a party of young fertile nubiles and forcing them to brutally get cummied inside by your big alpha rooster and the concepts of an auto battle and ATB combat with VN portraits.

Ok so I think it's safe to say that none of you actually understand what makes a good game and why exactly Disco Elysium is the last good game. This is great news for me because it means that it clearly separates me from the rest of you and gives a reasonable explanation of why all of you fail while my games are actually strong enough to stand on their own. Thank God this means I don't have to listen to you about anything. The fact that you're incapable of even trying to understand something that is outside the field of your awareness means that that I am sufficiently separated from you categorically to know that I can probably trust my own judgement more than I can trust your "experience' and I have different odds of making it than you.

How do you guys feel about all games on itch having to tag their AI usage now?
>>503164652I will not be satisfied until AI is nuked from orbit and totally annihilated
>>503163240What gameplay anon? The story is all there is in Disco Elysium, and skill check dicerolls. If I don't like the characters and story then why would I play the game? Even if the gameplay were good and the story is well written that still doesn't mean I have to like it or that there's anything wrong with me for not liking it. But most stories in videogames are shit written by retarded leftists with an axe to grind.

>>503164541cris, I...
>>503164652I'm fine with it but I'm new to itch so keep that in mind.
>>503164782Disco Elysium is the most perfect synthesis of the CRPG game formulla. When a game is being made every single tiny aspect of that game had to be designed and implemented by a human. Every individual element is an opportunity to fumble the entire project and every time it works this is massively taken for granted by the players. Of course I don't expect someone who has never worked on a game with more than one system to understand this but one day you too might be a yesdev.
>>503164835There's a tweet somewhere yesterday, but you can also look at your previous uploads and see the tag for it.All your old stuff has to be tagged to upload anything new, and all new stuff has to be tagged by default.

>>503166147That's the same for anyone. There is no such thing as a separate indie game market. Your game needs to be competitive against AAAs.

So I have a delta time issue.This code is effectively simulating an object that bounces off the floor.When it hits the bottom of the screen I set the dy value to a negative value so that it *bounces*.Trouble is that when I lower the frame rate the bounce goes much higher.THis doesnt' make sense to me as I figure lower framerate means bigger dt so if anything the character should have a smalller bounce.Am I doing something wrong with my math?
finally done with the retopo! 18500 tris. now to give ma'am some proper textures

>>503169138what does that word salad even mean
>>503165493My answer depends on whether the game gets 500 reviews by the time it goes from early access to full release. If yes then 4. It's time for DLC to test the waters, about 3 to 4 months to make. Poor sales means I hop onto the next idea of a different game.

I've just come to the conclusion that making anyone give a shit about what you do is very difficult.
>>503170874I was watching northernlion play UFO 50 and he said something along the lines of: "you try really hard to get popular, but then when you are you just want everyone to leave you the fuck alone".
>>503170635nigga be more verboseyou're gonna look at this shit again one day and you will have no idea what it's supposed to do
>>503171112sure I can do that. this is a REALLy simple thing though.just an infinite jumper
>>503171110>"you try really hard to get popular, but then when you are you just want everyone to leave you the fuck alone".I reached the second part before I tried to get popular. I'm making sure my game has limited appeal.
>>503170874true, not even my parents really care about my interests. on the flipside i'm always interested to hear about what others do, but the converse isn't true.
>>503171110Eh, there are plenty of examples of a game getting popular while the developer stays obscure and unknown

>>503171110That's actually pretty interesting. I have some experience with this as when I was more popular I was always scared of making a wrong step (which I eventually did).
>>503167635based. How's progress?
shitting simulator with realistic shitting physics like poop color and texture and mechanics like eating mexican food makes you shit a lot
>>503171632I had a similar idea today. I think the winning formula is to create a moba racing game. Tell me why I'm wrong in this.
>>503171841its not 6 am yet, im really scared, i think im gonna fail
>>503172006...Deadlock kart?
>>503172206Yeah, sure, why not? The biggest hurdle I think in a game like that would be stages and music. Those things make Mario Kart the successful franchise that it is.
>>503171632I suggested this, with agdg themed karts and tracks
>>503172006Because kart racers are like smash clones.Also somebody is already making some indie game collab racer. I see it get shilled on my twitter feed sometimes.
>>503134170exploring and soundtrack is awesome, but other things are way too underwhelmingthe dev is a faggot btw
we could make a kangaroo based moba
>>503172006>moba...you know that's not a bad idea. Could even go as far as having people level up.also imo we need more marathon racers, a casual kart racing game with longer individual races makes more sense to me, always hated that people insisted races should be no more than 3 mins long, that's super gay. Gimme a 7 minute long race, 30 minute long GP.
>>503172619must be thishttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3044940/Ultimate_Indie_Racing/looks worse than the aggy kart in my head
>>503172619I agree with this. Mario Kart and Smash only work because of the monstrous Nintendo marketing machine and the resulting soiboi manchildren cult they managed to accumulate. It is not an indie-friendly space, as they rely on traditional paid advertisement to get kids to beg granny to buy their games.

>>503173064I don't understand this. Why do anything if it's not about making money? Are your parents insanely wealthy?
>>503173143you get paid to post on 4chan?
>>503173064It's not as much about making money as making a good game that people want to play. If people want to play the game, then it will easily make money. It doesn't matter if the game is free or paid if you can't get people to play it either way.>>503173143Underaged NEET nodev mentality, or hobbycope>>503173296I get lots of easy dopamine from (You)s.

ok new plan, licensed game from a dormant IP. like how that guy got the Mars Attacks license.
new plan: make abandoned /agdg/ projects

im just gonna copy another simple game that already exists
>>503176583Unless... what if you had an idle game mmo? Something that you could have running in a background tab, or that would run overnight while your computer was off. Those games have inherent appeal to them, add a social element and you have a hit.
>>503177303Congrats on finally making it to the starting line.
i went from NPR (stylized) to full PBR during my project hop. now i see why so many devs opt for NPR aesthetics. the standard PBR workflow just takes so much work, but man it looks awesome.

Skinner boxes are fun to anyone who isn't completely fried, which is why they sell so well. 3 or 4 choices is a good sweet spot for making a decision small enough to not feel overwhelming, the entire power structure of a playthrough revolving around these small incremental decisions make them feel impactful, and the large pool of available choices to randomly poll from makes the decision feel fresh each time it needs to be made.

You and your buddies talk about porn addict, but just like how gooners need to constantly search for harder and nastier porn since they're desensitized to vanilla stuff, you've wasted so much of your life playing video games that vanilla video games just aren't doing it for you anymore, and so you come here to get mad at devs for wanting to make normal games. Most people (i.e. paying customers) have normal sensibilities enjoy normal games. You have issues.

>>503137692t-thanks bro, really appreciate it...
There is literally nothing wrong with making games as a form of artistry as opposed to making money. In fact, you are leaving both yourself and the world at large better off if you do so
>>503182954>Is this some kind of advanced version of the Mario bros. arcade game?Pretty much
>>503183250You're deluding yourself into thinking that the garbage you create is like so f'in cute and valid because it is art and therefore purely subjective, and you can only do that by removing any objective metrics, like sales numbers. No one thinks the starving conventional artists and musicians who are forced to work at Starbucks actually have really great art, and they're just underrecognized and underpaid. No, society thinks they are losers. You are a loser.
Three questions[1] Is this edited AI slop that bad in terms of unified aesthetic[2] I'm not sure if all these images are AI, are they edited enough to not infringe copyright?[3] In the case its not safe do you think its alright to use these as placeholders while I dev my game and stall for a real artist? My own art attempts were beyond abysmal.
>>503177137Same fren, same. The motivation would help and increase the amount I dev on a daily basis.

Has anyone else made a Godot game with draggable elements and dealt with input lag? Where you set something like a sprite with `sprite.global_position = get_global_mouse_position()` and the position lags behind your mouse a tad?From this post: https://forum.godotengine.org/t/fix-mouse-position-lag/77834/7Calinou mentions:>This is inherent to how the OS mouse cursor is drawn compared to any other window, and is not an issue exclusive to Godot. You can’t fix this entirely unless you replace the mouse cursor image with the sprite’s texture, which you can do using OS.set_custom_mouse_cursor().And they link (https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/rendering/jitter_stutter.html#input-lag). But I was wondering if anyone had this issue and if it affected their game too much? I'm making a small adventure game so I may just set the hardware cursor and be done with it.
>>503140440I started with their 2d course
>>5031838621. If you're generating these with AI try using the same tags, or artists. I would use the same prompt and different starting image, using img2img.2. With the exception of top row 2nd image and bottom row last image, they don't look like AI to me.Bottom row 1st image is just Christopher Lee as Count Dooku. Bottom row 3rd image looks like Christian Bale as Gorr from the Thor movie.3. Yeah, sure. If you can't afford to pay for artists I think it's completely fine to use AI nowadays. Don't listen to the haters, just do what you want.I use it too. Not only does it speedup development, but it also allows me to follow my vision and I don't have to hassle with the artists. There's also the upside of not waiting for art and no chance the artist ghosts you.
>>503164652>How do you guys feel about all games on itch having to tag their AI usage now?Totally ambivalent. The only negative effect is if you're making a small horror game or something a youtuber like Alpha Beta Gamer or Manly Badass Hero would play and your game gets filtered in their searches. It's also going to make it a lot easier for game jams to filter any games with AI content, which was probably why this feature was implemented if I had to guess.IDK if it's really enforceable though. Anyone smart enough will just do a tiny bit of editing to hid it, but it's probably to filter the 80% of AI heads that won't.I'm not really pro or anti AI at this point.
>>503183250>as opposed to making moneyyou'll grow out of it. I spent years creating free content for the internet. Sure online strangers appreciated my work, but it didn’t matter to my family or friends. To them the only thing that counts is how much money you’re making. A collection of mediocre art that earns a profit impresses them more than great art that doesn’t.
>>503184713>>503178568>>503177137You guys are idiots.Cheerleaders aren't for everyday use, they're for motivating you to do your best on game day, something to look forward to at the end of the tunnel to push yourself!
>>503185984I guess I should just try generating them. I've tried bing mainly but if there's a good paid AI that gens quicker that I don't have to wait as much I'm down for that.

>>503188061i'm not gonna abandon my turd to make another, shittier turd.i will polish it as much and as long as i can until i can dump it on steam and get my 10 reviews total (mixed).i want the personal satusfaction of having a game released officially
>>503187910plot twist, real artist only have a 59% of making it to the end of each battle.
>>503181614any time you can leave something in and players can use it as extra depth to the mechanics it's for the best, so unless you're planning on adding extra complexities that would make this janky it's probably best to keep it in. She cute btw.
where's jai
>>503189310who's jai
>>503174085how does one even achieve this?
>>503190287You contact the license holder and ask them to give you the rights to use it for a game.
>>503190287>>503190805works best if you do some digging, find an IP that's owned by only a couple people, and contact them with some proofs of concept/samples (NOT using their IP at this stage, using unrelated assets) and telling them that you thought their IP would be a great fit for whatever you were "already working on". British people are probably going to be the easiest to aim at for this.
>>503190287It's actually surprisingly easy to do.If they are "still using the IP", then you can just sell the information about that to some game's journalist.
>>503188061Sadly my game has been in development for far too long to simply abandon it now. I must finish it. Anyways my skills improved over time as I developed this game, if I dropped it, say 2.5 years in, whatever game I worked on next would probably look bad as well. Though had I done that I'd probably have finally made my first commercial release since around that time I was considering project hopping to making a Vampire Survivors clone. At some point someone with around the same level of skill, in terms of drawing, made one. Don't remember the name, but found one with around 300 reviews and released in 2023. Not sure if it was this one but that's a nice payday, though there may have been a different one that got around 1000 reviews around my art skill level but I can't remember too well. Regardless it'd have been a nice cash boost.
i have been contributing pull requests to godot lately for fun and as practice, but i don't know the engine well enoughi think i will pump out a handful of simple games to get more familiar with it from a user point of viewgonna start with snake
Will my game idea be allowed on Steam? It's called Human Trafficking Simulator. You play as a low level human trafficker (women and children are most profitable) and you want to work your way up to an Elite human trafficker (like Bill Gates etc) and run a worldwide pedo ring (its never stated as such, just indirectly)

>>503194779Negative social impact
>>503195164You also have a negative social impact. Does that make you bad?
