All below who are positive and productive are GMI
>>503268382fuck u bee
>>503268075I'm sorry agdg, I'm generally supportive, despite the memeing and all that, but there's no way in hell I can support a vampire survivor clone, agdg made or not. have some self respect.
>>503268075Hopefully this one breaks the streak of aggydaggy failures.
>>503268597tricky did it, now we gonna have another 10 flops
I hate seeing my fellow Aggies fail
>>503268597tricky already did
>>503268723NOOO I WAS GOING TO RELEASE NEXT WEEK
>>503268808
>>503268597Tricky madness just needs a couple more reviews to become a good game
>>503268769Yeah, no. The bar for success is enough money to lets you do gamedev full time. Unless the dev is in Laos or some place like that, there's no way 2000 sales or whatever lets him do that.
>he doesn't daydream about licensing a song from his favorite band to use at the end credits of his game
The inner triangle won
>>503269054inner triangle? more like pedo circle
>release game in early access>it flops hard>but you've essentially made a promise that it'll one day be a complete game to your 7 or so customers >forced to continue working on it for literally nothing I would probably you-know-what myself
>>503269035yeah thats right
I'll be 23 in just over a month, where and when did things go so wrong? It can't be game dev, right?
The vibes have been sent.
>>503269227It's gonna get worse.
Have you ever sent your demoday demo to your gf but found out that she played another anon's game for kore time after you hacked her?
>>503269426my what?
>>503268075how do i detect the hole in a tilemap nearest to the player?right now i'm doing this, it somewhat works but it's junk.i'm teleporting the projectile and checking for collision but when i do it looks like it's moving, plus it's not precise because precision takes time with this method.func _physics_process(delta): position.y-=0.01 if $ShapeCast2D.is_colliding(): if retry<10: position.x=position.x+disAtt retry+=1 print("moved") if retry==5: disAtt*=-1 position.x-=200 print("switch left") if retry==10: queue_free() print("deleted")
the outer square (aka gmi box):peripeteialandswordcarmageddonbounty
Set your eyes on the furthest star, and let that be your goal. It's always within your power to go one step further than you used to believe.
>>503269514
>>503269694one day
>people born in this millennium are posting here
niggas do be using $Node instead of node = get_node("node")
>>503269715the picture is funny and i'm saving it, but i don't get it>>503269514by the way to spawn the projectile i'm detecting the player with a shapecast
Make sure you tune into /v/3 next Saturday at 5pm EST!
lmao look at all you pathetic losers. a bunch of grown ass delusional manchildren wasting years of your life on trash that no one wants to play. don't you feel ashamed of yourself?
>>503269192>make a second game on the side while slowly completing the flop so you look good and have early support for your next gamethere are other ways through
>>503269192Being a people-pleaser is generally dumb. But being that way toward strangers and in a business context is downright retarded.Cut your losses, make something better, and if you want to be lawful good and shit, then give out free keys to the buyers of your previous game.
>>503270049yet you post here, curious...
>>503269694Forgot to say but you also need to be a nepobaby making a game in 2010 btw.
>>503270049of course I feel ashamed. You think I would choose this life? I am cursed with the intense desire to make game.
>>503270049No, i'll be proud of my game and i will feel happy knowing that hopefully it'll be played by 100 different people one day
>>503270272how do I reach this level of maturity?
>>503270049My game was played by more than a million people. It's mobile so I earned fuckall but I did waste at least a million hours of other people's time.
>>503270049Luce wouldn't say that...
bros, wtf.asian babys have a rectangular face shape.wtf.
>>503270049what does Japanese cartroons have to do with that?
>>503269192Yeah, I see these EA flops as basically kickstarters that didn't get their funding. The devs of them were hoping that support for their game would appear out of nowhere. When nobody showed up they slowly get disenchanted before they give up. This leads to less people buying EA games and the cycle continues. If you want a kickstarter, then run a kickstarter with a demo. And make the funding goal something real like $100,000, not pansy shit. If you want a patreon then make a patreon. Don't make an EA release that you hope people will buy to pay for you to make the game, that shit never works out.
>>503270420Stop looking at triple A title's numbers, start looking in the real world. Do you remember how many people were in a classroom of 30? Imagine that many people all around the world and each one of them played your game
>>503270272you can achieve that in two demo days
>>503270420>>503270798coping isn't mature. instead of just accepting that you're a loser and will always be a loser, why don't you put some effort into improving yourself?
>>503270585cris please spare us your new workflow schizo arcwhen you actually make a game then please resume posting progress again
>>503270798And you can make them smile... or frown. such power...
>>503269514I just looked at how this got pasted, 4chan isn't doing the tab space... Plus here's the whole script instead of just the part for movingextends Area2Dvar bulletDamage:float=40.0var knockback:float=100.0var retry:int=0var disAtt:int=50func _ready(): set_as_top_level(true) func _physics_process(delta): position.y-=0.01 if $ShapeCast2D.is_colliding(): if retry<10: position.x=position.x+disAtt retry+=1 print("moved") if retry==5: disAtt*=-1 position.x-=200 print("switch left") if retry==10: queue_free() print("deleted") func _on_hit_timer_timeout(): set_collision_mask_value(1,true) $despawnTimer.start()func _on_despawn_timer_timeout(): queue_free() func _on_body_entered(body): if body.get_collision_layer_value(1)==true: body.playerHit(bulletDamage, knockback, position.x, position.y) print("rocky hit!") $AnimatedSprite2D.play("hit") set_collision_mask_value(1,false) else: print("target not recognized")
Working on rewriting AI for grub enemies, also making them go underground to ambush players and wildlife
Pretty happy of work done today. Also fixed the fog of war to works with the moving enemies.
>>503271163This motivates me even more to continue my game, thank you anon
>>503271680ayo dis some rpg maker shit
>>503271580some are getting stuck
>>503271580are those 3d models or sprite stacks.that reminds me, what was the name of that software that let you easily do voxel art, or I think they were called something different than voxel
>>503269514i don't really get it can you post a screenshot of the game?
Why are my rotations not smooth? I already tried everything but nothing works.
>>503269514>>503271406Gotta search for it. Find the current position in the tilemap, loop through tiles moving outward from that point until a hole is encountered. Treat each loop around as a ring around the player so two holes of equal distance from the player can be detected and some logic can "choose" between them. TileMap has get_cellv() and local_to_map() to get information about tiles and relative positions, loop through tiles within a range limit to find the holes, etc.
>>503272429change the interpolation BRO
>>503271193>tranime poster giving life adviceironic
>>503270798>Stop looking at triple A title's numbersb-but... how am I going to farm (You)s on /v/eddit without my Steam player data posts? What about my dopamine??
>>503268075would rape that elf
>>503272119yeah but they're dumbass grubs
How do you handle extremely low frame rate issues?Like how collisions can get weired when dt is notably large?
i will never be a real dev
>>503271580damn now I'm hungry
>>503269227I'm in my thirties, everything will be fine
>>503271580someone in the anti inner circle discord said that you stole those 3d models, true or false?
>>503272790I had to add some loops that check if the most important object made it to the right position
>>503272119I ended up turning down their destruction RNG for the GIF since it kept ballooning the file size, but they're actually meant to get stuck on some of the buildings so they destroy them. It could still look better with the motion though, I'll try to improve it.>>503272752that's true, they are technically blind>>503272127It's all sprite stacking, no polygons>>503272804same>>503272938That's kind of funny. Proof?
>>503268075Maybe he told us and I forgot it was releasing today. How many more aggy daggy releases this year?>>503269192If I was in that position I'd cut the scope big time, I need a bare minimum amount of reviews to actually go the full scope. Unironically my early access page only shows the bare minimum of additional content. More content is planned but only if the game does well enough. Though if my customer base is really small I might just ignore adding the minimum content and just hitting the button to push it into full release.
>>503273167he didnt post any proof, the discord is slow as hell he said that a few days ago so i was wondering
low poly isn't an aesthetic, it's a lifeline for indies to create low-risk medium-scoped 3D projects.pixel art isn't an aesthetic. it's a lifeline for indies to create low-risk medium-scoped 2D projects.
>>503273161that sounds janky
>>503273467>he didnt post any proofinnocent until proven guilty
>>503273716they're those things but they are also aesthetics, like i get that those are the primary motivators for using them but they are also aesthetics, you do know that words have meaning right
>>503273730soul code
>>503273892surely there's a more systematic way though right?
NEW FREEBIES ALERT TIM ISN'T DOING IT ONLY ON THE FIRST TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH ANYMORE JUST TO GIVE YOU FAB FOMO
>>503273751oh i dont care im rooting for you, the rwby guy also stole and patchworked 3d models and nothing happened to him
>>503273956timmy..........
>>503249425wow this is cool to mess with ty for sharing! i hope they add more colours
https://www.youtube.com/@MeekaNomicon/videosshe played my game, should i say hi or is it cringe? dont reply if you like anime
>>503272249webm, the moving thing is the projectile. i'm teleporting it but it looks like it's moving.>>503272453i'll look at the documentation for those methods then, thank you
>>503273716>low poly isn't an aesthetic, it's a lifeline for indies to create low-risk medium-scoped 3D projects.true 99% of the time>pixel art isn't an aesthetic. it's a lifeline for indies to create low-risk medium-scoped 2D projects.not really true 99% of the time, more like 50%.
>>503274653>wojackit's better for you to pretend you don't exist
>>503274712ah save yourself some headache and just use rigidbody2d for the bullet -_-
>>503274843what's pic from
>>503275049it's ai, nibba
>>503273943idk, I'm sure there is but it was what I thought of at the time and it worked. for VR, an object had to go into your pocket, but if you let go while the framerate was low sometimes it would miss. so I just made it check more once you let go.
>>503274861who could hate this heccin wholesome lil dude? WTF!
my scope is too big...
It's Friday night.No dates to go to.No parties to go to.No girlfriend to come over.I was getting a bit depressed until I looked at the clock.
fellas...
>>503275189no it isn't. https://pixelation.org/index.php?topic=21030.0
>>503275193interesting, how does adding a for loop make it check more often if your overall frame loop stays the same?Are you effectively making more physics checks for a period after you let go?
>>503275015what do you mean? what's the difference from area2d?
>>503275379>its not dmitrideceiverwtf
>>503247727>I hope you'll consider my game, then.I'll be transparent and I'll tell you why I will most probably not. Your choice of your Main design is very bad for a number of reasons, your response can be boiled down to "it's my game I don't care". This kind of attitude is what I don't accept. Because there will surely be other case of bad polish, bad design and overall bad choices that will be answered in that way. When after X years you will release to 20 reviews don't ask yourself "how this could happen". If you dev for you, your players will be very very few. It's also overall not good design. No one here is a miyazaki(gibili) or a tarantino, that can make it's own vision and will find success.Otherwise we won't be here.Also, lemme just point out your defeatist attitude on chara design. Your chara design can't be better? Really? How much did you study animation? Did you study chara design for the same amount of time? Nigga pls.
>>503275467good question.
>>503274653cringe
>>503275378
>>503275378needs a cute face
>>503275467Area2D: A region of 2D space that detects other CollisionObject2Ds entering or exiting it.RigidBody2D: A 2D physics body that is moved by a physics simulation.A bullet is a perfect example of a rigid body that needs to be moved by physics simulation.
>>503275378>>503275613>talent>coomslopenjoy your millions
>>503275613is it rigged yet?
>>503275578lain is really weird in how those that sing its praises often miss the warnings it was trying to convey
>>503275797yes it's mixamo
>>503275803>the warnings it was trying to conveywhat video essayist taught you that
>>503276014me
>>503275773Stop. You are giving the most retarded advice ever. Very few games should use physical simulated bullets, and a 2D sidescroller is definitely not one that should.
>>503275864>mixamo for your mc in a thirdperson game
>>503275613i don't like the wrists/sleeves and i think the horns don't match with the tailthe silhouette on the feet is good but i think you could do better with the details there
>>503275531it is him. there are two portfolios in that thread, deceiver is the second.
>>503276062it's fps iirc
>>503275378>>503275613holy shit, that's actually great.
>>503276094ah
>>503275301Aim even bigger
>>503275773but i don't need this bullet moving, the enemy spawns it and after the timer runs out it enables the collision mask to detect the player. it acts more like a small bomb (it's supposed to be the enemy shooting the player from the background.)
>>503275578>tranny flagsI mean, some oldfags are definitely trooned out and mybe even acked but still...
i bet this is how the patreon team looks at the selfie i just took with my ID in hand to be allowed make a porn game
>>503276060There are a lot of ways to do it, a RigidBody2D is suited to what it looks like he's already trying to do. If you feel differently then share, don't just cry about it. Area2D is for detection, RigidBody for moving physics-enabled objects, StaticBody for non-moving collision-enabled objects, and CharacterBody for collision-enabled bodies without physics.>>503276365Sounds like you don't need much at all really. The bullet should be a Node2D, attach an Area2D to it for the hit detection, attach a sprite, done.
>>503274653you should write "i see you :)" to appear the least aggressive/desperate possible
>>503269227Maybe, I didn't start gamedev until I was like 26. If it wasn't for the false hope of success I'd probably have kept bouncing around for jobs instead of outright giving up and hoping gamedev would be the success, though I was gamedevving before I reached this point by about a year or two. I'm over 30 btw, now I unironically have to succeed, whether that's by gamedev, stocks, or crypto does not matter.
>>503275437not really physics checks, just parenting of the object and position.
>>503275378>>503275613
>>503276113if it's fps why would you put that amount of effort in the mc model
>>503276679right now it's just area 2d+sprite+logic, the shapecast is because area2d doesn't like to detect tilemaps
>>503277187Stick that in a Node2D, put the Area2D, Sprite, etc under it, the CollisionShape should remain a child of the Area2D.
Yucky 3d prop vs joyous soul reprendered prop.
>>503271680>moving slims independentlyWhat do you mean by this? That they move via ai?>>503273956Timmy why have you done this? There will be no free things on Fab right? It'll be Fabulous right? Not a Fabrication to get out of giving us free monthly lewt, r-right? Please Timmy $100k, 6 month game exclusivity contract.
>>503277530you know what else is yucky? shartdew valley!!!
>>503277093...the better question would be... why not? you're gonna be able to see her in third person (it's gonna be useless gameplay wise) and also customize her loadouts in the menu
>>503277187That ShapeCast shouldn't be necessary. You should be able to enable physics on your Tilemap and set up the layers/masks correctly to not need it. In Godot 4+ every tile has a separate body.
I just finished watching that blow interviewBeyond over
>>503277754i know, what you say is logical! but when it tries to detect a tilemap through the collision shape it crashes. shapecast/raycast work
It's Friday night. Please rise for the national anthem of Aggydaggistan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrkEc2V3mO4
This could be us in Tokyo after our games reach 100 reviews sisters.
>>503278126yeah, when even the 'rockstars' start to lose faith its hard to remain stoic
>>503277530looking at the stand reminded me of these oval platforms rise of the triad had. those really stuck in my mind back then...
>>503278280Good thing I mostly gave up on life anyways
>>503278270those are all trannies aren't they, I was in kyoto walking being a manly as fuck trannyman in a dress and a timid little bitch trannywoman trying to look like a man, it was the saddest shit and I feel sorry for all the japanese people who have to politely accept them
>>503277452how do i make a new master parent? right now the area2d is on top of everything and i can't give it a parent>>503277754also apparently collisions can only be detected if something is moving, so i had to make the projectile slowly move down to detect the player standing still
>>503278280where is phil fish in our time of need?
>>503276606Kek wouldn't surprise me if they did considering they stalk them and tell em they're doing a wrong think on a completely different website and too delete such content or get banned. I wonder how long before Patreon gets overtaken by some other site that gamedev's use in favor for getting subscription bux.>>503278126Summary of it? Did he finally give up on JAI and his multi-decade sokoban game?
>>503278257I was listening to this on repeat last week
>>503278270isn't that mr beast's pedo in the back?
>>503278126which Interview? link?
>>503278865>Summary of it? Did he finally give up on JAI and his multi-decade sokoban game?2025 is the year of sokoblow. He wouldn't dare utter the name JAI he just said it doesn't have a name yet. tldr is having teams make gamedev expensive and modern programs/OS's have so much bloat it's making gamedev harder.
>>503275578nice falseflag faggot
>>503278795add your rockSHOTBG to the main scene and right click > make local then you'll know what to do then save that as tscn again
Did so much for this update that it's not even worth listing here. There's a devlog with the changes. Most notably, I rewrote the lighting system, added more custom user shit like picture frames, rewrote the in game clock, fixed a bunch of bugs...https://woodencat.itch.io/cineverse
>>503278184Incredibly gay.>>503278795>how do i make a new master parent?Right click node -> "Make scene root"Your player should be their own standalone scene.>also apparently collisions can only be detected if something is movingAre you checking for collisions in the physics process or using signals? This is strange to me and I haven't experienced it before.
>>503279524This is good advice. Being comfortable moving shit around like this can be helpful, and useful.

>>503278126>>503278280Blow is demoralized because he started out in the very early days on indie gamedev where almost anyone capable of making a competent video game was rewarded with success. Back then competition was nonexistent since there weren't a fraction of the resources that exist online now. Even after you'd made your game getting it on the Xbox store or Steam was a difficult process in of itself. If a new indie game was released it was worth writing about in all the big games publications, you got free publicity by just existing.Nothing is guaranteed anymore. Just being able to make a game doesn't immediately grant you recognition or sales like it did back when Braid released, and JBlow is struggling to come to terms with that. Given his massive ego, I also believe it's been difficult for him to accept that he and his work aren't household names anymore. The current dominant consumerbase for videogames (gen Z) don't give a shit about Braid or the Witness. He's not entirely back to square one, but he's lost a good chunk of the name recognition that he was seemingly hoping would sell his future projects.
>>503276365i still don't get it sorry but why would you need any complicated hole detection again? you just want to spawn this area2d bomb and make it not move like crazy right?
>>503278865Blow accepted that steam is already turning into google play and you need to become a small e-celeb to make a living as an indie, but he will never make deckbuilders because he hates them even for money
>>503274712this game looks like it was made in Construct, practicing gamedev?>>503277530the one on the right just fits better, sure its lower quality but it's just down right cohesive to the environment. this is Shanghai Gold dev right?>>503278270eww not if you look like that, i'm pretty sure all of them are troons. i'd rather go so we can have fun and attempt getting japanse gfs>>503279008kek
>>503280203are there any western dev household names anymore? who does gen-Z know? feels like they only know japanese AAA guys
>>503279561i'm using a signal from area2d>>503279524thanks, i need to get a paper notebook to write tips like these on>>503280217yeah i just need a simple hole detection, i'm spawning the area on the player and i'm moving it around if it finds a tile.what i want is just a bullet that spawns near the player without intersecting with any wall>>503280463first gaem
>>503280253>but he will never make deckbuilders because he hates them even for moneydicey dungeons did a number on him. He got a 1, 3 times in a row and rage quit.
>>503280667>who does gen-Z know?kiddie horror slop devs
>>503280667The kids I have to work with were all born after I stopped playing Minecraft, most don't recognize or know anything of names like "Disney" or "Ubisoft" but do know "Star Wars" and "Assassin's Creed".
It's yet another "should I create my own virtual console?" moment.
>>503280203>Blow is demoralized because he started out in the very early days on indie gamedev where almost anyone capable of making a competent video game was rewarded with success. Back then competition was nonexistent since there weren't a fraction of the resources that exist online now. Even after you'd made your game getting it on the Xbox store or Steam was a difficult process in of itself. If a new indie game was released it was worth writing about in all the big games publications, you got free publicity by just existing.It'd be nice if I had that opportunity, I'd have gotten at least 1000 reviews, now even if I were to add multiplayer it might not even pass 100 reviews, I've seen fun little games with coop with under 100 reviews. Except unlike theirs mine is bigger so something 50 reviews with something of this scale will feel worse than a game that took maybe a year to make.Is he even rich anymore? If he isn't he's in a pretty bad situation since his game's aren't exactly the type that sell well with the current gamer majority. Even the game's I like sell poorly compared to these that are effectively clones of them stripped of much content and simply kicking up the dopamine. Ironic really, less and somehow they do better. No I'm not saying what games since I've got games I want to make like those and although not as successful as these newer ones that stripped the gameplay I enjoyed, they are still games I want to make and have as little competition as possible in my niches.
>>503280667*I forgot about Tod and Druckman
>>503278126If more big names, Blow included, would have spoke out when valve opened the flood gates instead of going 'unga bunga me got mine' we wouldn't be in this mess. The problem was any time anyone tried to voice concern they'd be shouted down with 'your game only failed because it was bad' instead of people looking at things objectively and realizing that YEAH steam letting in 16,000 games a year, 99% of which are asset flips, is in fact BAD for even great indie devs!
I literally have never seen a good game flop.
>>503281070>Is he even rich anymore?no. he has rich friends that he is borrowing money from though. when sokoblow only sells 10,000 copies he will declare that it's blowver.

>>503280975I'm trauma dumping a little here: I had a student, 13 year old boy, who thought Minecraft was "made by Xbox" and that their iPhone was a government-issued thing and that every citizen got a new one each year "for their birthday or Christmas." He was an A student, but D- on the life experience even by 13 year old standards, I was genuinely angry when I learned he couldn't feed himself. As in this 13 year old had never made a bowl of cereal for himself, never put together a sandwich, I taught the kid how to open a fucking candy bar wrapper at age 13, yet he was fully aware of how find OnlyFans leaks. Gen Z is completely fucked.

>>503281161Sure, but the bar for "good" is constantly rising over time, and it has become too high for most devs to reach. It's unlikely any dev here can reach the modern bar.>>503281420This would have been "good" if it released in something like 2016, but the bar has risen too high for that to be considered "good."

>>503282994https://store.steampowered.com/app/1783680/Thalassa_Edge_of_the_Abyss/were you thinking of detective games when you said puzzle?
>>503269514>>503271406Your code is so bad that I can't even tell what you're even trying to do here. Detect a hole in a tilemap? What do you even mean? Why does the bullet move by -200x randomly?I think it would be far more sensible to just connect the bullets "collided" method with whatever, check what it collides with, and then do things based on that.

>>503283759>good game
>>503283602*price was not $1=1 hour but it did seem to have lots of reviews over 10 hours, which is good, I didn't check avg.
>>503268075I saw the post for this last thread. Honest rating:>Gameplay actually looks pretty good and interesting by VSlike standards>Artwork is pretty bad, although soulful at least>Actual graphical effects (particles/shaders/light) actually look surprisingly nice, but doesn't offset bad art>Store page and trailer are a bit ESL>Marketing seems to be lackingWhile that's mostly positive, I think this is probably going to be a <30 review game. Oversaturated genre+bad art is a death sentence, even if your gameplay is good. Bit of a shame, but hopefully your next project goes better.
>>503283602>Price: $19.99>Average playtime: 5.7hNo, I mean puzzle, especially difficult puzzle games. They typically manifest as low-appeal/programmer-art games. I assume they get inflated playtimes because players will stare at the puzzle, give up, but don't close the game because then they feel like they've lost, and go scrolling somewhere else before coming back to it an hour later.
>>503284105fug, do you actually think the art is bad? I'm not the dev but I've always liked the game because it feels like the sort of art I would be able to make if I had a game
I realized what happened. In the past all the slopdevs could have just made newgrounds games for clout but ever since flash died they have to make steam or itch based slop which is flooding the market with shart. They're literally flash-tier devs trying to publish indie when in the past indie was seen as "higher quality than flash but also with 40x the content" nu-indie is offering flash quality with 1/40th the content of old indie.
are you satisfied with your productivity?i feel like i could be having 5x my current output if not for crippling ADHD
>>503284184So you think a game of Thalassa would be good if it was priced at $4.99?
>>503284535I'm not, and adhd is a factor for me too. somedays I go ham and get 8 hours of coding done without leaving my chair though and it makes up for it a bit...
i hecking love low poly!
>>503278126Blow is a fucking retard who wasted millions of dollars and years of his life on wheel-reinventing. If he had just used engines then he would have more than double the amount of games made and would be fine. There's lost of blackpills to go around but his failure isn't one of them.
>>503284557Yeah. It's only been out for 3 months, with a maximum sale of -20%. I'm betting it will see many more units sold once it starts going on sale at 75%-90% off.
>>503284535I miss the gamedev vtuber arc...
>>503284349Do you have eyes? Come on now.
>>503283627i should've written some comments for you guys, sorry... the 200 puts the bullet near the player when it switches directions because disAtt was 40 before, i'll change it right now and multiply disAtt by 5 instead. i need the bullet to only appear where there's no tilemap to simulate a wall acting as cover. and i'm doing that, the bullet checks if it collides with the tilemap and if yes it moves and tries again up to 10 times
>>503284909He used an engine though? How would he have a game otherwise?
>>503285112oh, I thought you were being genuine. Never mind.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFEW96L2ND0octoroks are real?! what weird animal still doesn't have a game?
>>503285583NTA, but I would say that the art for Dungeon Watchers is at a level I would consider "inoffensive" but not quite "appealing". It's not a selling point, but it also doesn't hurt the game. low key mid af no cap

>>503286136https://github.com/w-okada/voice-changer
>>503280797ah i get it now. you just want the bomb to spawn near the player randomly but not on the brown wall?so instead of moving the bomb to detect a wall, just spawn the ball and do this logic>toggle off the bomb sprite2d (this eye icon) to hide it>if the ball detects a wall:>spawn another>queue free>else:>bombsprite2dnode.visible = true (to unhide the sprite2d)>func _on_despawn_timer_timeout():>start the timer that's responsible for spawning another bomb>queue_free()
>>503284957If you'd made that game, with that quality of non assetstore graphics with full human voice acting and the campaign took 10+ hours to finish, how would you have priced it? 19.99 seems completely reasonable to me...

>>503287580No?
>>503287812did it include the ones addicted to hostclubs?
>>503286689IDK. I personally wouldn't make a shorter (<10hr) narrative game, as they are very hit and miss. IMO, those require some extra spicy secret sauce to become a success. Look at some from last year, like Coffin or Slay the Princess. What does Thalassa have going for it? It looks like generic unappealing DEI assetslop, even if they didn't buy many assets for it. Even if the story is decent, is it good enough for you to tell your friends about it?
>>503288070could you write "DEI" earlier in your conversations so that i know you're a braindead retard up front? thanks

>>503281148>If more big names, Blow included, would have spoke out when valve opened the flood gates instead of going 'unga bunga me got mine' we wouldn't be in this messI like how you're deluded enough to believe you'd make a game that would get accepted to an alternate universe manually curated steam.Being gatekept by the arbitrary whims of valve vs being gatekept by an algorithm that only cares about your steam page getting organic external traffic and wishlists. Steam is still curated, you just have to make a game that people are interested in, not be like blow and shit out an indie puzzle platformer before anyone else and the only reason people are interested is becausr there's no competition.

It's possible Piko Piko anon was contracted but idk since the art mostly looks like the dev made it himself besides the backgrounds. Found some obscure sites but still nothing at the caliber of Piko Piko anon's background art as assets. Even finding an artist who does it that well is difficult.

>>503290867We're not working together, we're 1MAing everything even when we suck at certain parts. Art, programming, level design, writing, music, animation, rigging, shaders and particles. Nobody in the industry is expected to be good at all this shit. They just do the thing they're good at and get other people to do the parts they're good at. Nobody here is collaborating because nobody wants to open themselves up to the kind of people who are here. Just look at the threads these last few weeks, do you want to form a fucking company with these people? Do you want them to know your name? Hell no.
>>503289014>alternate universe manually curated steam.Were you born in like 2008? Dude we were all there it wasn't some alternative universe hypothetical we're talking about.

>>503289594>>503289749>>503289945IDGAF what race they are. What you retards don't understand is that representation is not the problem.

>>503291250Why do you think that asset flips with 10 bot reviews are going to stop your game being on new and trending? I don't consider that to be my competition. I'm sorry if you do. Greenlight was a stopgap while they built the algo, it was never going to be a sustainable way to get games onto the platform. And how many games did you sell on Greenlight? You're nostalgic for a time you made up in your head. Also you're looking right at an asset flip and blaming steam for letting them on the platform while ignoring that asset stores and game engines are the real driver behind that phenomenon, why shouldn't valve take their $100?
time to make some vambraces and gauntlets and sabatons for my character maybe i'll listen to sabaton while I make the sabatons
>>503291338>Put some king niggas up in there, but make them hot. Make them cool. Make them memorable.This is the proper approach for all character designs, but unfortunately the retards who sperg out over every black character being "DEI" are too far gone to care about the difference between good character design and bad character design. You're never going to win with them. When FF7 Rebirth came out there were daily threads on /v/ calling Barret a DEI character. Fucking Barret, one of the coolest black video game character ever conceived. If TF2 released today they'd say the same about the demoman.

>>503294105and that's a good thing
>>503291394It's not that bad, I'm not a shader guy, I wasn't sure if I could do it before I started making it.First I made a sprite of a single coin. In the fragment shader, doing `COLOR = texture(TEXTURE, UV);` shows the single sprite.If you do ``COLOR = texture(TEXTURE, UV * 7.0);` and the texture is set to 'Repeat', you get a 7x7 grid of coins. They're really small, so to counteract this, I scale the sprite times 7 so in the end each coin has the size as our original coin.Then I just have a big matrix 'order' of 7x7 where each cell corresponds to a single coin. And in the matrix, I put the order the coin will appear. I just put those values by hand in a order I thought would look good, it's pic related.Once I have that, in the fragment shader, I can use UV to know the coordinates of coin I'm drawing. `int(UV * 7.0)` for example gives me the column. So I just check if 'order[row * 7 + col] <= quantity'. If it it's, I set the alpha to 1, otherwise to 0. The higher 'quantity', the more coins show up. c'est fini.

The skills will come with time, and be under no misaptehension that if you actually suck and have no skills you're going to have to pay your dues and put in the work to stop sucking at something simply due to the fact that games are hard to make.

While we're all throwing around collaboration ideas, would anyone be interested in trying to make a FPS-driving hybrid roadtrip game?

>>503290514There are some issues with this image. The triple-cone drill design is for boring into hard rock or substrate. In order for it to function, it needs to be protruding from the main drilling mechanism. Additionally, as a borer, the body needs to be able to angle behind and fit into the circumference of the boring head.Some design modifications I suggest:- Give the machine a neck with a mechanism for rotation (jutting out from the body)- Add treads to the arms so the machine can push itself along when boring- maybe add treads to the front / back of the legs for fast movement or pushing- The boring head usually turns itself, so there needs to be some kind of mechanism on the neck- add mechanism for the eyes to pop out from the side when its not in boring modeOverall, cool design.
lmao J. Blow is so out of touch.
Is Turkey really that bad? I'm thinking about moving there for a few years if my game ever nets me over $10k. Any turks ITT know of any cities that are worth moving to that preferably aren't Istanbul? I've heard bad things about Istanbul, lots of scammers and tourists.

>>503291760I owe the composer about 3k, the audio guy around that I guess, the PR firm 3.5k, and around 15k in credit card debt.
>>503298343Are you optimistic?
>>503298659Yes, it can be payed back over a long time.
>>503298263You think that's a good excuse? When you first learned to program, did you keep typing random words into a text box hoping they'd do something? When the complier tells you that you have a syntax error, did you tell the compiler that you think you're right and it's wrong? Because that's what you've been doing with the decade of feedback that you ignored.
I'm trying to figure out how to do the turns in a multiplayer dungeon crawler.I want to do simultaneous turns to start with, so with a party of four all four players can do something without the players having to pick what to do in sequence. That seems fine.But when players aren't in combat, the idea of players having to wait for eachother still seems kind of obnoxious. Eg. you're just trying to walk down a corridor and another player is pissfarting around with their inventory. So maybe relax the 'every player must submit an action for the turn to progress' constraint. But then what happens to the NPCs on the map? If one player isn't doing anything and another player is doing things that kind of works. But if multiple players are doing things at once, it'll basically end up with each npc doing an action for each action of each player. I could partially relax the constraint and make it so the turn progresses while out of combat once a second if at least one player has submitted a turn so that if multiple players are doing things, then there'll be exactly one "action" carried out by the NPCs for every set of actions carried out by the party as a whole, but a player may "miss" a turn.That seems like it could be fine while out of combat. "Combat" would probably be defined as "a creature has visibility over a creature it is hostile to". There's probably some funniness in any of these relaxed constraint situations where a player pissfarting around suddenly finds himself in combat because an npc walked up to him due to another player doing things.This is all predicated on npcs doing things on while not in combat. Which I think is a given, a big part of nethack for me is how while I'm doing something on a floor - so are the npcs.

why is Jonathan Blow so funny?he said he bought an unusable shit laptop that automatically switched between igpu and discrete gpu when you run programs, which drives him up a wall cause it causes 1.5 seconds of freezes every time it happens. and then he went on to say that the person responsible for this should be fired immediately and that their valuable skills will be appreciated somewhere else like the biden campaign.I still haven't recovered from that laugh.
>>503299307lies lies lies no one would hire me
>>503299130No, you didn't learn to draw in 2005, just like how you didn't learn to program if you never got any program to compile ever. You learned to put incorrect strokes down an paper that vaguely resemble what a drawing should look like but don't actually make sense. You're learning how to draw right now. I remember you linking the Pixiv tutorial series. This is literally the first few videos. This is absolute basic fundamental beginner shit.

Seems within reach to tell you the truth>game has very low amount of content>game still got nearly 100 reviews after a weekBeef up the content quantity, raise the price in stages or once exiting early access which would look acceptable. All that and I can definitely see this getting 300 reviews minimum. Though at this point you really need to work fast like Into the Necrovale anon did with his game. It was like 8 months of early access and from what I saw in the news on steam he was updating the game really fast. Is your game at least set up in a way where the background stuff is done and lets you pump in content super fast?>content>only has 2 levels>remember the composer>about 3kWait a second how many tracks (total minutes) did you get from that composer for 3k, you only have 2 maps!?

The gaming renaissance has ended and zoomers are quitting gaming in droves.They'll say it's the quality of games that's declined but in reality they subconsciously know that this isn't the time to sit around and play with toys.Zoomers are quitting games in order to focus on self improvement and rebuild what the previous generation have destroyed. That means less buyers and consumers of YOUR games.They know all the tricks too and they've seen it all. As the saying goes:"Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times".They know that they need to become the strong men. Now more than ever.

>>503311789but Japan has the shittiest characters...
rolling ball game has the best and most appealing character designs
>>503311664Wait, I think I finally found the root of the issue.We are so back!
Can someone disembowel this underage troon?
>>503312413you sure about that?
This is my idea for kaliina 2.Is this easy to understand or too convoluted yet?
>>503312912relax
>>503312984americans design characters like these after watching too much anime so yeah
>>503313118is that turn based tactics? rts? something new?
>>503313223you use a girl to be the target to aim the hadouken of her twin sister.Something like basketball but is a hadouken ball you throw.You can tell your sister to follow you or stay still.
>>503313118Just make a prototype already
>>503313147gay faggots are not welcome here
>>503313312oh cool so it's like a jojo stand. is it turn based?
>>503313198that looks like no anime character
>>503312408All you need to know is right there, if you're not that comfortable with gdscript yet then hit up Youtube for a Godot InputMap tutorial, there should be several.
>>503313565it looks like some eyecancer you would find in the regular japanigger games (Xenoblade, Nier, Monster Hunter) These are all anime games because the japanese brainrot seeps into everything they make
>>503311789how do I design appealing characters if I can't draw?
>>503313542no, more like a 2.5D action jrpg.I want to basically have 4 buttons.A) Pacifica kicks, where she does basic kicks.B) Pacifica Strong Kick.C) Rosa hadouken where she does her hadouken towards pacifica place.D) Stop / Follow buttonB+C) Pacifica Super.Basically add a few fighting game inputs and should be KINO.Nothing too complex.Like cuarter circle special and half circle specials.

>>503273716it's not hard at all to churn out unity shovelware with flipped assets and sell on your good gameplay. they're even doing it in unreal nowadays.hand drawn art is also a lot simpler than doing pixel art when you're not an impostor putting out programmer slop. animating it with rigging engines is also super simple and cheap and a well known technique by now.big games don't do low fidelity because it risks making their high investment high prod value game look cheap to audiences, thus leaving the niche open for indies more open to experimentation. thus it is an aesthetic.
physics in gamemaker are insufferable, but slowly coming together.
>>503314768That's probably how I'd do it.func _ready(): var kack_event = InputEventMouseButton.new() kack_event.button_index = MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT InputMap.add_action("kack") InputMap.action_add_event("kack", kack_event) var pork_event = InputEventKey.new() pork_event.physical_keycode = KEY_U InputMap.add_action("pork") InputMap.action_add_event("pork", pork_event)func _input(event): if Input.is_action_just_pressed("pork"): print("PORKED") if Input.is_action_just_pressed("kack"): print("KACKED")It'd be easy to handle that shit with a loop and just define your input maps in a simple dictionary. You could also define all your input maps together in the GUI, by assigning multiple inputs to each action. It'd be very easy to then whip through that recursively and break it up into separate dictionaries, which you could then switch between.
Gamedev is just like being in high school was. I have to learn a bunch of stuff, I get disrespected by my "peers", there's an inner circle, and I'm not getting paid despite working 30 hours a week.When do I graduate as an aggydaggy?
I was gonna take a shower and go to bed but my shower drain got clogged and I didn't have time to shower properly and now my hair is wet but unwashed. I can't get it to drain properly. I just wanna sleep but it feels gross to go to bed half-washed like this.

>>503319851ThanksI'll probably wind up using it in the game anyhow, so it is progress even without a sketchfab, it's just the wrong kind of progress. I have more art assets than code right now and I need to fix that.

The people in this thread are at least trying to do something; trying to make something. They're putting effort into something they care about and they're learning and improving themselves. All you're doing is being a seething, diseased pustule spewing bile and filth. You're so unfulfilled personally that you come here to attack and belittle someone you see as an easy target. Cue your "AHAHA IM ACTUALLY RICH AND AN INVESTOR AND I FUCK WOMEN" which is pure projection for how empty and pathetic you feel inside, because only the most sad and worthless human trash do what you're attempting to do. Even if you're "just trolling lmao", you're a shithead and I bet your mother is ashamed of you. Kindly find your way to the nearest rope and start tying. It's the only thing you're capable of doing that will make the world a better place.

>>503314768>>503315357Hey anon, I wasn't satisfied leaving you with "it's easy bro" and telling you to watch youtube, and also I ate dinner and got drunk, so I made you a simple example: https://pastebin.com/KZEYLPMrYou can see how I set up these maps in the GUI by adding multiple events to each action. This is barebones, an action can't use the same event for more than one input map this way, but this should provide you with more than enough information to build off of. Ignore the typos.
>>503321484It won't work every time, your bran isn't stupid and it'll learn that you're just trying to trick it into spending energy. (Worst thing imaginable.)

>>503324581I'm not denying that's the case for some people, but pic related literally just picked up game dev because of his brother and in 1-2 years finished a successful game. There are a lot more cases like this.And even putting all that aside, I spent a decade working and have nothing successful to show for it so it's all the same for me anyway.It makes me think that game making/game design talent might actually be a thing of its own, completely outside of programming and art. And it makes me wonder if I should even bother continuing on a path which I'm clearly not suited for.

>>503330404Very sadNo matter the project, you don't market here. The success of a game dosen't depends on agdg or any other devs support.You market and sell to gamers, players. If your players dosen't know your game exists, they can't buy it. It's simple as that.
>>503330404>>503330683truth bomb: people outside /agdg/ wouldn't care anyway. Some devs are more comfortable just sticking to the hugbox
>>503330683In addition to normal marketing, I would release with at least 10 reviewers locked and loaded. if I didn't have 50k wishlists, I'd be getting friends and family to buy it to help after explaining how steam works.
>>503327060turn off your computer and go outside, you'll be the first zoomer in history who will realize they can step away from the internet.
>>503331058A few early reviews don't help with the algorithm. Marmoreal proved that, with almost 20 day-one reviews, but no bonus visibility from that. Steam primarily cares about what percentage of users are clicking on your capsule when they show it, and what percentage of users buy the game after looking at the store page. You can't game it with a few reviews. Review count doesn't matter to the algorithm.
>>503331301oh wtf was all the 10 review shit? just grift? I apologize for not doing my research and continuing the grift...
>>503331301It's quite realistic that review count matters but so does 10 other metrics all of which combine together.
my game never got a thread on /v/...
I really really need a Moog synthesizer for my game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fZYshQsun8
>>503331745make one calling it trash
>>503331058>after explaining how steam works.Nigga there's people who actually know how steam works and none of them talk about astroturfing reviews you retard. That's exactly the kind of thing a smart algorithm would detect and bury because there's more than enough Chinese asset flips trying to botnet a bunch of reviews, yet they don't end up actually tricking steam
So it turns out the benefits of being in the inner circle are completely negligible in the grand scheme of things and out in the open market
True inner circle.
>>503331681The review count itself doesn't matter, but typically more reviews = more sales, and sales count really really matters. Marmoreal had something like 20 reviews for less than 100 sales on day one, which is a very unhealthy ratio. Compare that to Tricky, which is at 96 reviews for 1784 sales (see >>503298343). Tricky is doing well because it's getting organic visibility from high sales numbers (also a high number of new additional wishlists). If you really want to game the algorithm, you need to prepare several hundred sales (and give Steam their 30% cut on all of them), and it doesn't really matter if any of those sold units leave a review or not.
>>503331991Is a(woke)n dev really inner circle?Also yes the whole inner circle meme is one retard being mad that he's not in the top row on demo day rankings
