First for AIsisters
I am better than everyone here
If gamedev is a fair hobby then how comes this game is better than stardew valley yet won't get 1% of the attention?
>>503473849but nobody has EVER said its a fair hobby bwo
>>503473802Really? Post game.
Oh they're posting about amateur game development? Lets make them post about politics and Japanese cartoons instead

>>503472059he wants to dumbify games even further when recent years have proven that gamers want even more complexity
I seriously need help designing my new tower defense game... I'm shooting complete blanks here...
>>503474196>when recent years have proven that gamers want even more complexity>amongus>liar's bar>TCG shop simulator>balatro>vampire survivorsall dumbed down games with very generous fail states, massively successful

>>503474335the towers are water cannons and you have to maintain pressure and pipes etc.
>ericshizo in shambles because he seriously thought he was 1mahonestly you have to be pretty fucking retarded to even think he did everything all by himselfhe did the prototype, then he hired people to work on the final game just like any normal human being in the video game industry
>>503474006Real talk: We need more Japanese video games on AGDG.
>>503474009Branno already talked about this months ago
>>503474196He's trolling, leave him be anon. Get to back to devving.
>>503474528WAOOOOUUUW IS THAT A JAPANESE GAME DEVELOPER? FROM JAPAN???????
>>503474365Why did you post this troon?Is he a gamedeveloper too?
>anti-eric schizo can't deal with reality so he has to cope by calling everyone else schizo>it's not me! it's all of you!star dew isn't that impressive dude. 4 years 10 hours a day to copy harvest moon. seems quite plausible for one dedicated guy.
>>503474528I live in Japan and Im making a game
Everyone we need to have a discussion about the fact that Juan left a vulnerability in the way Godot's save system works from a PR that was gonna be merged in 4.2 before he stopped it saying that it wasn't a big issue.
>>503474725I'm visiting next year. I'll come dev with you at fangamer cafe
>>503474652Indeed.>>503474725What is your game?
>>503474670i needed a horrific picture to go with the horrific aforementioned "games"
>>503474430that's actually a pretty cool idea...
Look at all the progress posted in this thread so far! Good job my fellow gamedevs!

>>503475954oh shit they've been working on this for a long time, glad it's out
>>503475201what kind of a retarded tranny names his game "Lake of Creatures"?That's a name for an indian mobile game.

>>503475434I am literally japanese in all aspects besides physical...
>>503476691name of the game on the right?
>>503476629You are not awoken
So, what do you actually do if you want to make a game and can do X but can't do Y and don't have money to hire someone?I get the feeling that people who would be alright with working on a game for revshare already have their own ideas and want people to work on their own game instead, and people who are looking to work on someone else's stuff want an actual job to get paid. Are you just fucked?
>>503476629>oh noooooooooooo people are talking about my gameFuck off retard.
Don't mind me, just posting progress to the two or so people who still remember me. Working on the tutorial. Tutorials are really important when your game is turn-based, and you can't just leave your player some breathing room to test out all the buttons on their own.

>>503477268But I already got started on mine.
>>503475201>just make a roguelike>just add fishing
>>503476980Yeah you are kinda fucked. I tried collaborating with other people, but finding the right person wastes a LOT of time, they can flake/ghost you after 3-6 months at which point you have to start all over again. I don't have time to play gacha with random internet strangers. The 2 man team who made Void Stranger met on Newgrounds where they talked about their favorite games, hit it off, then after a couple of years being friends they finally started working on something together. But I didn't have the luck to find someone like that here.My current course of action: try to make a fun/decent selling game that hyper focuses on X and ignores my weak-point, Y. Then using that as leverage I team up with someone else who has released a game that's more Y focused. As we both have games under our belt, and confirmed we have the work discipline to finish a game, it'll be easier to find a common ground and team up. Or just hire someone with my profits if the game sells well, whatever, you don't have to make your masterpiece from Day 1.The only reason I post in these threads is hoping I find someone who has the same tastes as me, and wants to make similar game as mine, and we'd become dev buddies. People who post here as an advertising method are retarded.
scanning it
>>503477943Strike a mutual slavery deal in which they work on your game every even day and you work on their game every odd day.
Keep deving, we're all gonna make it
If you make a game like this you WILL get a Microsoft sponsorship and also a lot of love from journalists and game journalists. Why? Because this is a fair hobby where nepotism doesn't exist after all.
>>503477992>People who post here as an advertising method are retarded.With that attitude no wonder you don't have gamedev buddies to collab with
>>503476980You first discard the idea of working on "your game" or "someone else's game". You start a collaboration where the exact game is left undefined, but the goal of the project is agreed upon. Most likely, you would collectively agree to make a game that gets all participants rich. Then you brainstorm how to do that. Then you divy up the work appropriately.If you have a very strong vision for what the game looks like, then you need to work alone, and pay for anything you can't do yourself.
>>503478419It's called signaling. Someone I'd get along with wouldn't be a little bitch who'd get offended at me using the R word. It's better than pretending to be someone else at the beginning then slowly realizing we're not a good fit at all.It worked with women at least.

>>503437648>will POE2 be good? is it worth paying 30 dollars or 60Ofc it's gonna be good. The problem is to see if it's gonna be the next arpg of the decade (poe1 beats d4)If you are asking, you are not a poe1 player. in this case, yes it's worth because you also get 30e worth of mtx. With that money you can buy some stashes and in theory don't buy anything else, ever.In poe you need money only to buy new stashes: in 1 you can play for free till the endgame (if you reach it); in 2 we can't really know. But it seems all purchases translate between poe 1 and 2, so you can also try poe1 with stashes and have an easier time. It's also worth it because it seems this beta will run for maybe a year, if you have hype.Third, since this is a beta you can play and fail without pressure, every new poe league it's a race

>>503479901Nice art
thoughts of gamejams?
>>503480228good or bad depending on your goals
Making a game with a buddy (he's doing the art) I'm trying to get him into game design as all his ideas are bad due to lack of exposure to good games (he wants us to add quick time events because he played the old god of war once and liked it... we're making a 2D game). What games should I have him play for him to have better opinions? I gave him animal well, and he's getting into it way more than expected, this is a good sign. I'm thinking rainworld next.
>>503477110very nice brother, i think the colors need a little more contrast between background, characters, and UI
>change single innocent line of code>unity editor crashes>run it again with no changes>no crashsurely a coincidence
>>503481059This is the "I can fix her" of game collabs. If you don't have similar tastes how can you possibly work together?
>>503481059>animal wellI looked it up and found an IGN review of it and can't help but feel>independent game youtubers give far, far better reviews than this. the lady is literally just reading a script while gameplay plays in the background. this is not how this should be done it feels distant and almost AI-like, if not for the fact her voice is clearly not AIit's hard to say if you don't have a 2D game in mind that you're making. Otherwise I'd probably have something to recommend.
>transdevs are still using poonity in 2025thats crazy
>>503481701I like him (no homo) and want him to improve himself (from art skills to general opinions on games). >>503482034>I looked it upYou had to look it up?
>>503479901I like it
>>503482153transdevs use wokot tho
>>503477992>try to make a fun/decent selling game that hyper focuses on X and ignores my weak-point, Y. Then using that as leverage I team up with someone else who has released a game that's more Y focusedThis is actually similar to what I'm planning, but not the same. I already had some 3 dudes ghosting me, so now I'm working on a demo on my own. I'm an artist and if I tried to make the whole game with my spaghetti code it'd take forever and fall apart sooner or later, so I'm using an engine with visual coding to make a short playable segment, but I won't be able to use it to make the whole game.I'm hoping this demo will serve both as leverage and to really show what the game is supposed to be like. But my biggest problem right now is that I don't know where to post it once it's done, and I'm like 90% finished.>>503478476>If you have a very strong vision for what the game looks like, then you need to work alone, and pay for anything you can't do yourself.I imagine a programmer would charge at the very least a couple thousands to code a game, that's not really an option for me.
>>503482508wrong, troons work on wokot so you could take a steaming dump on them in your game and they won't get a broken penny from it
>>503481538unreal does this all the time
>>503478818Is this normal?
Sisters, is there any tutorial that makes a 3D model in Blender with textures/paint/fuckinganything and then properly exports it into Blender? I've been trying for a full day now, but no matter what I fucking do, none of my models show materials in Unity. Shit, I can't even carry the fucking color of a simple cube into Blender. All of the fucking tutorials I find is with finished Blender models. I am clearly fucking up something in Blender, so I need to see a full process from start to end
>>503482209>You had to look it up?I heard that dunkey was funding it but I've never actually watched it. Why would I have?
>>503480228When I become a bigshot gamedev I'm gonna start my own gamejam to get people to make more games of the themes I like.
how do you make water in godot 4
>>503483335This isn't Google or chatgpt friendo
>>503482514>so now I'm working on a demo on my own. I'm an artist and if I tried to make the whole game with my spaghetti code it'd take forever and fall apart sooner or later, so I'm using an engine with visual coding to make a short playable segment, but I won't be able to use it to make the whole game.I heard stories of this happening, some guy made a small demo and it gained popularity and people offered to help development.https://drenindoku.itch.io/deep-snow-deliveryThis game being one, the artist from Voices of the Void offered to help him. And this is not the only example I've seen happen.Best of luck anon.

Everyone needs to watch this for educational purposeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhfZ1QEl-2s>inb4 nnnnnnnnnooooooo I don't like thomas braaashdoesn't matter. These are some of JBlow's best takes yet and you can learn a lot from it. Plus they are talking about the industry dying which is super relevant after this recent wave of aggy flops
>>503483812Cool. Someone validated your game concept for you
>>503483976yeah, but it was made by a japanese studio of probably 50 people
>>503481059>he wants us to add quick time events because he played the old god of war once and liked itAnon let me stop you right there. I hear this and I know that you have first hand access to pure unfiltered retarded normie sovl. Now us, everyone itt, cauterized that part of themselves a long time ago, and that's why our games do not sell. We have no idea what the normies want. We think, QTEs? In a 2D game? That's retarded. But in reality, that's the kind of thing that is potentially going to produce a game that sells millions precisely because it's the right kind of retarded.Now your job, as the (hopefully) non-retarded half of the team, is not to fix your retarded ally. Your job is to prevent him from taking over the project while you adapt his normie desires into a coherent vision. You need to collect all the ideas your friend thinks are cool from whatever shit games he played on the PS2, like chunks of playdoh, and mash them up into a beautiful functional piece of nostalgiabait that all the other dads who played God of War once are going to love. If you're recommending him games, it should be for the purpose of stirring his memory of other childhood shit to dredge out and drop into your project.
>AI BAD AI SOULLESS!!!!>Meanwhile AIYeah i think AI haters lost.
>>503483970>>503483970>Plus they are talking about the industry dyingI don't want to listen to two has-beens who made it when there was no competition because people would buy literally anything put in front of them, lament that they're no longer relevant by blaming everyone but themselves and their boring-ass games.
>>503481059nonesome of the best games came from people that were not gamersstop trying to copy what other games do, and focus more on refining your ideas
>>503483970There's no need, but it's funny to listen to jon cope for an hour and a half
>>503483335like this
>>503484325they aren't lamenting it at all. It's just two people with different types of experience (mostly Blow) giving their input on the situation. If you are smart you can learn some things from that even if they occasionally focus on the wrong aspects
>>503481130Thanks man. At one point I think I'll give a touch-up for the whole thing to make it more appealing. But for now, making sure it functions, and the basics are readable is all that matters.
Tell me I'm a yesdev.

>>503485868My tastes are pretty transparent in my game. Had people say it looked "neat" but no one said they're also fans of the genre or mechanics so far.. But I'm hoping this will get better as I get closer to the finalized vision of my game, it's pretty rough to accurately judge something by programmer art.

some people are just really good at designing and making games. if you're a solodev and you make it, it means you're built for it.

>>503487561they make the best games though because theyre schizo and have lots of time on their hands

>>503487693would
>>503488023i always felt that unreal was meant for teams rather than solo dev
>>503486465My theory is that it is people who>Don't get what makes a game enjoyable, and think making another platformer with a cute mascot should get them their pension money>Are just sensationalists who live from the ad revenue, ergo have to kick up hype with videos like "every developer should watch this" and similar stupid stuff>See that poor copies of something that was popular once, no longer sell. They don't realize it is just a poor copy, and take it like the end is nigh.Add trolls who obviously see something wrong with it and perpetuate it for the heck of it, and astroturfers to the mix, and you can see why that is the common consensus.

>none of my 20 posts received a (You)sIs the inner circle THAT strong
>>503488447blueprints is also a trap, you can master blueprints but it doesnt translate outside of unreal. im not sure what you actually want to do or what kind of game you want to make though.
>>503488135good>>503488391She isn't
>>503488979>She isn'tI rescind my statement
>>503488597they suggest but it's just the converted dolar price. if your game is $5 you have to sell it for R$ 9.99 ($1.7) if you want the brazilian players

I LOVE THIS JOBBY
>>503488787right, celetse, but he wasn't a troon when he made it. he retroactively decided he was because there were signs or something. quick google>"During development, I did not know that Madeline or myself were trans"the autism/isolation seems to be the main factor. depression/schizo does lead to interest in macabre/cosmic horror etc.
>>503489110NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS HOBBY IS NOT ABOUT LUCK ITS A MERITOCRACY TRUST ME BRO
>>503488023>>503488447You and I are similar. Dumbest shit I've done in my indie dev path was looking up 3D sculpting and animation courses meant for industry professionals. It would take me weeks sculpt, texture, rig and animate a single high-poly model. After 15 months of being a complete retard I realized I was as far away as humanely possible from indie solo dev. I wish Pseudoregalia was released during that time instead, so I could use that as reference for what level of detail to aim for instead of just going "hurr more details and realistic models == better".

>>503489495As long as some people are born in Switzerland and others in Syria, there is no such thing as a meritocracy.
it has come to my attention that there already exists a game with a very similar shopkeeper design, so i will be scrapping this idea in fear of looking like a hack>>503487316that's not a good idea just because i'm a shit 3d artist, i don't even know how i'll model the plain looking hair design>>503487517>>503487932>tits too saggyforgive me... tried fixing it

B-blorb, what are you doing! Your pickaxe... that's way too big! What a silly guy.Seriously though, it's kind of tricky trying to figure out how blorb would actually carry a tool. He doesn't have hands but that doesn't matter, it's not a matter of logic but aesthetics. I think slinging the pickaxe behind him would be the best, but it's hard to convey that in 16x16 for an artlet like me. I probably will have to just settle for having an icon above the head, because having a different sprite for each direction and tool sounds like a pain.

To steambros, how do you setup your LLCs? is it that easy in your country? people who release under their personal name are so rare. LLCs are often a hassle, requiring a decent amount of legal papers and an accountant. How do you guys do it?>inb4 making moneynot even talking about making money, just releasing the game under a different name, even free games do it.

>>503490107xhe looks like she fucks cs gamedev cocks
>>503488954im pretty new at this, outside of messing around in the elder scrolls creation kit i have not done much in the way of gamedev. I did try unity a few years ago but c# is impossible for me. At least with blueprints im not being punnished for spelling errors.

>>503490068Remind me (1 hour)
>have an idea for a game that would easily hit multiple million in sales>tfw it's too big to be done by me alone>mostly because my art skills suck and it would take forever for me to make all the artSo here I am stuck making a much smaller game that may or may not have any sales potential.
>>503489629DD60?
>>503489121so that's why all inner circle devs are going to bluesky?
>>503481059Playing games does not make one better at game design. Doing game design does. Except your friend is an artfag so he will never be able to prototype on his own which means he's unlikely to ever learn game design unless you do literally all the work for him and act as his slave to allow him to learn.
>>503490535>have an idea for a game that would easily hit multiple million in salesEverybody has many ideas like that if cost/skills weren't an issue.
ive seen this game covered by popular streamers every other week and the reviews havent moved since it launched. i know its not solo dev or even a game but just some food for thought.
>>503490535>it's skyrim x mount & blade
>>503481538skill issue
>>503490678Shader sorceress tried to explain shaders to me but I'm too dumb to write even the simplest one.
>>503490535I have an idea for a game that could very easily become popular and maybe even a mainstay, but it's multiplayer and just thinking about having to write netcode, maintaining game coordinator, and wrestling with cheaters makes my stomach churn
>>503490830people are too embarrassed to buy it. It's like admitting you area lonely incel.
For unity devs:Is there any way to setup shadow rendering distance differently per object?Like, having buildings render distance from far away and characters only render theirs when the camera is close. I have a ton of small objects and if I set shadow distance around their performance cost then it's way too short for buildings.Tried to manually turn off shadows for small objects at medium distance, which kinda work, but it look ugly since there is smooth fade out between shadow ON and OFF with that method.

>>503491048you can buy it ironically and pretend you did it to leave a funny comment like that super seducer game
>>503491192>early accesswell there's your problem. and look I did play the demo of this, it's good but it also needs a lot of polish.
>>503491047i just want to write netcode, what's your idea anon
>>503491196>friends wonder why you have 500 hours in it...
>>503491192seems really good for a snowboard game with 2 characters and 2 maps. Might be the most successful snowboard game with 2 maps of all time.
>>503491536If he had friends he wouldn't be buying games like that
>>503491192>>second most successful agdg game in the past yearThat's not saying much.>>this job is cookedIt look well done but it's a fucking acrobatic snowboard game.Everyone interested in that shit probably still as a hundred entry in there backlog from when those were hype during the PS1 era.Sled Storm is still on my ToDo list, although it's in the middle now. Tricky Madness will have to wait a long-ass time.

>>503491107baked lighting isn't an option?
>>503491776based
>>503491704So? It only has 2 maps. If it had 20, the development time would have been much longer and then even 3x reviews would still be dismal from the standpoint of earning enough money to be able to gamedev full time.
>>503490829This isn't an idea that's stupid like that. If I had an artist I could make the rest by myself. It's not a massive game. It's simply that I would take forever to make the art and animations by myself.>>503490893No.>>503491047Mine is multiplayer as well but coop so there's no need to worry about cheaters really. I guess mainly I'd want to make sure that cheaters can't fiddle with other people's characters.
>>503491776WTF, I love tricky madness now.
>>503491776really? I'll buy 88 copies.
>>503491776what if I acknowledge that the holocaust happened. are you going to refrain from buying my game because of that?

In my opinion the best things are created from people who take a look at the world around them, see things they fucking despise, and then go out to make something better. Real examples would be, git, minecraft or the obvious normie factoid lamborghini that even my buddy keeps repeating because he watched one tiktok or something. I love games, I try out dozens of games each week, and frankly, I dislike almost every game I play, hence why I ultimately ended up making my own. That being said, there are multiple approaches to making things and while I would love to say mine is the only real one, the honest truth is that I'm wrong and retarded, there is no "best" way to create something.You shouldn’t dismiss other ways of creating things.

>>503491730It's very fun, not just pitiable like most of what comes out of /agdg/. It's actually managed to distract me from things I ought to be doing, which is a rare and welcome indulgence at my age. It's a fabulous piece of nostalgia bait that easily grabs the attention of SSX fans like me who have been starving for a game for the last 12 years with nothing to show for it except a single microtransaction-fueled season-pass-enabled cocktease that was, thankfully, cancelled.
>>503474808godot 5 will fix that
>>503485919Well xe has a point
I finished my game and am looking for a new project. Are any of the collaboration ideas still around?
>>503485919Indie games investing in marketing should stop, continue investing in your game instead, if it's good it will sell, if it's bad, and you had to market it, you are now a scammer. The amount of Twitter accounts I had to unfollow after their game released and turned out to be shit is growing each day.

What is the explanation for this? I thought people didn't like shitty jobs.
>>503496698Prove your point first, show me a great game that succeeded with 0 marketing. No twitter, no youtube, no website, no presskit, they just suddenly dropped it on steam and totally made it, huge success. According to you this is something that happens, show us.
i really really fucking hate streamers
>>503491776How is it possible for a man to be this based
>>503497005Coffin, except it blew up on itch.io, not Steam, but that just makes it even more proof that a game doesn't need marketing or exposure to a big audience.
:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Sort of redesigned her hair.
>>503497213Not seeing a successful game called "Coffin" on Steam or Itch. You don't mean The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, because it was advertised heavily and successfully, they did quite a bit of marketing and it was featured by numerous indie-game websites before release and at the time of the Steam early-access release, so I'm sure you're not talking about that game.
>>503497005You just described Vampire Survivors exactly.
>>503497004another one just released today
>>503489107didn't they make that against the policy in one of the updates this year or last?
>>503497832I've been following Coffin since I first found it as a random itch.io game jam submission in March 2023. It had zero marketing. It was never featured in any indie game website. Stop lying.

>>503498564good news, tools will stop getting better approximately 800 years from now, when the world ends.
>>503498052So you were talking about The Coffin of Andy and Leyley? Maybe you don't know what marketing is. The fandom wiki was started 6 months before the game came out, at the same time the subreddit opened, at the same time the demo was released, which is when they started doing devlogs. That is marketing.
>>503498572sim shitty
>>503498790If fan-made shit counts as marketing, then the term has lost all meaning. Now people leaving reviews on a game counts as marketing.
>>503498956Demos are marketing, anon. Releasing a demo of a game to generate interest before it's available for purchase. If you deny that, you're a retard.
amateur excuse general
>>503497004>I thought people didn't like shitty jobs.In real life. It's like saying "wtf why do people like horror games, I though they don't enjoy being stressed and scared and threatened" . When it's done in a controlled environment where you can bail out whenever you want, and trim out the undesirable aspects, even cutting grass can be a fun experience.

>>503499060professional mental gymnastics olympiad
>>503499054You're just trolling at this point, but for the sake of historical accuracy, Coffin's "demo" was not intended as a demo. It was a standalone game that blew up in popularity to the point of people throwing money at the creator begging for more. Coffin is proof that if something is good, it will succeed without the creator even needing to try.

>>503499772>Having a crowbar is a criteria of a good game broagdg's obsessive need to condense something as complicated as a good video game into "one killer feature" is exactly why agdg games are so soulless failures.
>>503499350that piece of shit only succeeded because it had incest on it, shut the fuck up please
>>503500016>something as complicated as a good video gameIt's not really not that complicated. A good video game has more fun and appeal than its market competitors. Simple as.
>>503498721channeling fetishes into creativity is how you make the big bucks. doesn't even have to be horny, just using it as a passion. it's why every successful franchise has so many fetish-adjacent themes.
>>503499350>Coffin is proof that if something is good, it will succeed without the creator even needing to try.Not that guy but I feel like using "good" here is not entirely accurate. Coffin exploded in popularity because of specific qualities that makes it very viral-worthy i.e. gets people (especially artists and terminally online folk) to talk about and share it everywhere.But there are possible good games, better games even, that don't have the same viralness to it. Some of my favorite autist games have had over 20 years of work put into them, and they're not failures mind you, they're successes but it was a very slow burn success built over time, it never exploded like Coffin of Andy and Leyley, and by your logic that would mean it wasn't as good as it, which is simply not true. It just doesn't have the same mainstream spread-ability factor. "Good game" is way too much of a catch-all term IMO because different games succeed for different reasons.
>>503491192problem is he spent more than he made to make the game
>>503499772if you cant make something like black souls its over for you
>>503500428There are two main contributing factors to a game becoming a "good game", and those are fun and appeal. Dominions 5 is a high-fun, low-appeal game while Coffin is a high-appeal, low-fun game.
>>503499350>He released the demo b-b-but he didn't care, he wasn't trying to be successful>He didn't even try to get people to play his game>It just blew up
>>503500863That's always the problem. A $2000 revenue game that took a week to make wouldn't be considered a failure (unless you compared it to a full time job that required similar skills).

>>503494352You can set out to make something better but that doesn't mean you know HOW to make something better. Game design isn't some magic talent you pick up by playing games. It's a skill you gotta develop the same as programming or art.

>>503502843Rance is the closest you'll get but women don't actually play that, they'd sooner watch some video, read some manga or listen to ASMR. Rance is more just 'gets respect', and Rance is the pinnacle of its class so you wouldn't match it anyway.If you doubt me and want to do your own research, look here: https://www.dlsite.com/girls/ which is the non-BL section. You can narrow it down to just 'games' https://www.dlsite.com/girls/fsr/=/order/trend/work_type_category[0]/game/options[0]/JPN/options[1]/ENG/options[2]/NM/is_tl/1/from/left_pain.work_typebut I use the word 'game' very tentatively here. Even with this stretched definition of 'game' on a games site, 550 / 20,000 works are classified as some sort of game.Some of those results at the top look very much like "a girl gets raped by some bastard" games.

It's been over a decade of shit-tier simulation-style always-online microtransaction-filled trash that I would forgive in a heartbeat had any of them been fun, but no, not one. A fucking $7.99 extremely incomplete early-access agdg game is genuinely the most fun arcade snowboarding game since 2012, and it's the first and only example to ever be released on PC. It stands alone, and nostalgiafags like me are going to be lauding it aggressively for years to come.

>>503504645When I was growing up, right from elementary school until high school, I knew a kid. Stereotypical gay type.The thing is, he had more contact with women than any other guy I know. It's not as if he was particularly handsome, average at best. But he was always with the girls and he got along really well with them.That's what this is. You are appealing to girls.When most people here make a game, they are appealing to what they like - what guys like. In order to make something that girls like, you have to be like a girl in the first place. There are plenty of games made by guys who act like guys that appeal to women but that's usually a minor part of the success and it only comes as part of the male audience.Otherwise, hypercasual games / phone games do appeal to women but that's not porn.
>>503505018It doesn't. You need as strong a sex drive as possible, otherwise, engaging in anything sex-related it a crushing, soulless endeavour to you. We're talking "hooker smoking and texting while having sex" type of soulless.

>>503506693>know not, does he?
What's the point of being so disingenuous? There's not a single artist who has spent countless thousands of hours pouring their heart and soul into a project and doesn't want to show their work to the world. The difference is that when the gamedev with a good game tries to tell the world about their game, the world is interested and word about the game spreads with minimal effort and friction. Meanwhile, the gamedev with a bad game has to fight an uphill battle, because the world simply isn't interested in their game.
>>503506976Tell me about Brush, why does he wear the hat?
>>503506976As an atheist/agnostic, I appreciate how calmly and gently you share your views. And although I could think of many counterarguments to the points given in this video, instead I just want to say keep up the great game design tutorials, your content is a breath of fresh air on youtube!
>>503506576I unironically like this.Just need some actual good gameplay now.
>>503505958>>503506304jk ily
is it bad design to not use every button on a gamepad, my game doesn't need more buttons than it has.
>>503507153As with the art in general, replace>goodWith>coomAnd you'll be right mr baiter
>>503507270I made my own lighting system in Godot too. Didn't like the base lights so I made something in a shader.
there are 2 billions indiansif you sell your game for 1$ to half of them (realistic) you're a billionaire
>>503507294no
>>503507576coom is appeal
>>503506976Sure, maybe there is a god. It's not that unbelievable to think that this world was created by something.The leap in logic for me is the belief that it's an Abrahamic god and that the bible is real.A book that is about ~4000 years old when we know that humans (as a species) are anywhere from 40,000 to 6 million years old depending on what you consider a modern human.Brush seems like a logical guy so maybe he'll get there eventually (I only watched 2 minutes of the vid) but I don't have time for a 30 minute sermon right now.
>>503507153>There's not a single artist who has spent countless thousands of hours pouring their heart and soul into a project and doesn't want to show their work to the world.Not true. If the project doesn't meet their own expectations, artists will destroy it rather than show it.
>>503507294Very. Make unused buttons play sound effects, I assume console gamers love that kind of thing.
>>503505953??? it was her 6th visual novel or something and she had 13k followers on twitter
>>503507753That's fair, but if they're not embarrassed by what they made, and they're putting it out there for others to see, then they will certainly put in some minimum marketing effort.
>>503507969see>>503499350>It was a standalone game that blew up in popularity to the point of people throwing money at the creator begging for more. Coffin is proof that if something is good, it will succeed without the creator even needing to try.
The main mechanics are done. There is only one bug since there is a weird delay for clients at times. Outside of that it just works. Now it's sound design and polishing with replacing some placeholders.
>>503507969Yes, Nemlei made several visual novels before coffin, but Coffin was her first game that wasn't a visual novel and her first game to blow up. Also Nemlei doesn't have a twitter account.
>>503507642It will be more realistic to sell them ai courses instead
The gamedev renaissance hasnt happened yet and here's why.Remember when gamedev doubters would say that you'd be better off being a code monkey than a gamedev if you cared about money? Well where are those code monkeys now? That's right they're outsourced and out of a job.AI taking over means that there'll be more people with time on their hands for better or worse. These people need to be stimulated and to escape the harsh reality that they live in.This is where the gamedev renaissance era starts. The demand for that stimulation only provided through porn and games (or both) will increase exponentially. The ones who stuck out and honed their GAMEDEV SKILLS will be rewarded handsomely. You have to think about this LONG TERM and never give up!
>>503504613>>503504886>>503505090I understand ARMA being an enjoyer myself, Euro Trucking Sim to some extent and My Summer Car for the meme value but who wants to play these shop simulators?
>>503508525>but Coffin was her first game*6th visual novel>Also Nemlei doesn't have a twitter account.picrel
>>503508563now you're thinking like an entrepreneurhello sirs, with this unity tutorial you too can become white and gain the blessing of the visa goddess. first, install midjourney, you do not need qualifactions
>>503508580the supermarket ones look fun because of coop, working together with friends and memeing = fun.the card shop one has to do more with running a shop and opening packs i guess? you're not really being a wagie cashier in these games but a manager so it's almost like a god game.
>>503508723Stop baiting. "First game that wasn't a visual novel." Coffin is not a visual novel, it's an adventure game.Post said twitter account and explain how no one ever found it until you did.
>>503508356Schizo>>503508525Yeah but the point is that she had a niche dedicated fanbase before the game went mainstream, I remember the first days of that game
BEHOLD: SWIMMINGFinally got around to setting up the custom swimming volume in town, fixing the swimming controls, and adding the underwater effect when you're submerged.Seems like a novelty here, but allows me to add swimming sections to dungeons later.
>>503508952bro that was her 6th release all the other games were free incest vns, that's building a player base and not a random overnight hit
>>503508580I understand the appeal of shop simulators, but I don't understand why so many want to play games like Undertale and Stardew Valley. What I do understand is that there's an audience for pretty much anything and that's a good thing.
>>503509768That depthless abyss makes me a little nervous. Good work though. I dig the artstyle.

>>503512173>tfw my fetish is too obscure and intangible to build a game around it to attract other perverts
Some UI work and decision weighting to try and have characters kill each other less at the start, but more by the end.. The three sorting options are by team, name, and rank (Based on stats or when they died). Also made an admin panel so I could remove the hardcoded island names and character list.
>>503512879>tfw my adult woman fetish is too mainstream to find a niche to survive in

>>503514598I said adult woman, not hag.
>>503514496You have to leverage cycling between activities to avoid burnout and squeeze in extra work hours to counteract the shortage in manpower.
>>503512879You are not alone!I love some hags too!
>>503514564What do you think of the name "Alice"?
>>503514517fixed timestep is good for a lot of thingsfixedupdate fucking sucks dont use it for anything ever
>>503514267It's possible but no desirable. If you have the option to not go 1ma, you should take it. I did 1ma and can say that my game came out worse for it and it would probably have done better with at least 1 more person.
>>503513090Is that map procedurally generated?
>>503473582How do i use snapped() on my vector2 in godot?My vector2 is target, it holds coordinates, so floats. I want it to become the closest multiple of 64.My code is this:target.snapped(Vector2(64,64))It does nothing, the coordinates remain the same.
>>503515249Yeshttps://github.com/UnderscoreNorth/Thunderdome-Fantasy/blob/master/back/src/terrain.ts
>>503514517FixedUpdate is for physics stuff, Update is not framerate dependent if you handle your deltatimes well.

>>503515654You can't go low-scope with games. You have to go all-in. If you try to launch a B game you will fail. You have to go for AAA.>Gabe and Mike and I were meeting regularly and one of the things I told them was that the Games business was a hit-based business, where only the top 10 games made any real money. At a time when thousands of games were being introduced each year, it meant that Valve’s first game was going to be a hit or it wasn’t, and given the dynamics of the games industry, if the first game wasn’t a hit, there likely wouldn’t be a second Valve game. Gabe and Mike had been talking about trying to launch a B product, something that wasn’t a hit, but that would be successful enough to support the company as it established itself, and I knew and made clear that simply wouldn’t work.

>>503514564>molyneux faceYou meet a beautiful woman with complicated name, she explains that unique letter formations have magical power, as with each phrase spoken premordial power is being freed and as such common names have no power. She then teaches you couple uncommon syllabes and you can 'cast' them on common words to give them power. Now your gameplay involves speaking with common women and casting new syllabes to hypnotize them into sexual deviants that gradually change their names. You can find women with uncommon syllabes in their names and learn them while also learning what kink this combination grants. With more syllabes you can twist common women into nymphomaniac slaves with the most uncommon names. You expand your vocabulary of powerful combinations and these modify women's appearance and desires - big boobs, aheagos, quick climaxes, fixation with fellatios, you name it. Do it right and you have millions in your bank.

>>503516331I use them both, but for some things ChatGPT is better. I think its "reasoning" might be weaker but its dataset is bigger which is more useful for obscure topics.
>>503516474guy says that you're obnoxious and you just go ahead and prove him right? thats crazy
huh?
Decided to do some importing, it's all very smoothly imported, and it means I get to save a lot of time with only needing to make small changes. But I also discovered some better ways to do certain things, so might as well update it.

>>503514517Update() happen whenever the graphic engine update. 60 FPS -> 60 Update() call per seconds. 3541FPS -> 3541 Update() call per seconds.FixedUpdate() happen whenever the fuck the *physics* engine decide to update. In ideal condition it's just once every few frames, since the physics engine to run at a constant "framerate" unlike the graphics engine who tend to update as often as possible.Most code should go in Update().FixedUpdate() is reserved for shit that will interact directly with the physics engine. It's not mandatory tho, it's just to be sure that your physics calculations actually do something: no point recalculating an object's speed 240 time per seconds if the physics engine will only check it 30 times per seconds anyway.

>>503516204Sadly I've found that's the only thing consistent among our type, we're totally inconsistent about our preferences. Let's compare notes like real perverts on the internet do because I have no fucking clue how to make a game that caters to onomatophiliacs if we all like different things. Met a Kaela Novacek once, she introduced herself with her full name in a thick Generic-Eastern-European accent and I damn near pissed myself. There's a bartender near me named Lyric Andova, which would be extraordinary if they were a woman rather than a large exceptionally-scary black man that looks like a fat 600lb Tommy Lister with the permanent Friday scowl pressed deeply into his pudding-boulder of a head; nice fella though, good bartender. My top 3 celebrity names: Dichen Lachman, Rosamund Pike, Ivana Milicevic. Tolkien's elvish names rock my socks, Arwen, Galadriel, Elara, Elenwe, Tinuviel, lost.

I can even see it hitting 1000+ reviews. Bocchi doubters in shambles. It's the first agdg game in a long time that's showing actual potential of breaching the 1000 review mark while being a new game as well rather than some 5 years in EA game.

>>503492520Oh it's this guy I remember seeing his thumbnails on a few demo days. I take it he realized for feedback this place isn't really all that useful. He got a few comments on demo day but otherwise what's the point? You already know what you're doing with your project, if you can catch a bigger audience elsewhere to play your game, that's much better feedback than getting 10 comments once every 2/3 months.Understandable if he left I somehow just don't have the time to play many demo day games. There are still game's from this last demo day that I haven't even gotten around to trying out including those I really want to try out.

>>503520062This has absolutely zero value. I had a web dev company for 8 years and it didn't help me a web dev job.Having a company shows that you have ambitions beyond working for an employer, which is a bad thing from the employer's point of view. Also having a company that failed shows you failed, which is also a bad thing from the employer's point of view.Every year your don't work for an employer is a negative mark in your resume. Accumulate employment gaps at your peril.
>>503521315But will it make the game more fun?Maybe you should improve the things you already have first
>>503523908I listen to feet ASMR while making assets
>>503521515I'm a codemonkey literally since child and I think coding is easy. Anyone who says coding is harder than making art is clearly better at making art than coding, ie probably not a codemonkey.
>>503524402I have nothing for 2 years on my resume. Am I fucked?
>>503524430i actually tried to model two buildings today and they fucking suck.i'm not good with polishing. i enjoy working on new weapons and mechanics, but my game will always look like shit.it's my destiny
>>503522813hehe thank you it only works with a square collision for now. let me know if you need it in circle or the other options
>>503522727I don't think you get it. If it had 10 characters and 10 maps (which take time to make), then it would need 1000 reviews to be equivalent to even a minimum wage job. So it would still be a failure.
>>503524597Depends on how old you are but if you're in your 20s then it's fine.
>>503524978ummmm.....
>>503521315Inversed gravity? Like you are stuck to the ceiling by default?
>>503525131yep
>>503523413I'm 42 and I started gamedev at 36 because I was too stupid and too undisciplined to figure it out in my 20s. Is it better to be 20 than 40? Sure. But you can compensate for your age with more discipline.
>>503525131>inversed gravityjust flip the entire map
>>503525185I think that can be a worthwhile investment, but you have to desing your levels in a way to take advantage of it.
>>503524604Unlike cris, you can always improve to some extentJust have to move through pain of cringeOr cooperate with someone, it will be much better than eternal amateur look
>>503525251>you can compensate for your age with more discipline.doomers *hate* this post.
>>503497004This job sim game's aren't actually like real life. If trucking or working in a grocery store was like this, then I doubt many people would be disinclined to waging. The problem is dealing with other humans that are either on a power trip or have no manners. The game completely removes that from the equation. You think I'd have quit that job I had if you removed those two issues? The job sucked but that part of the equation makes it far worse. A game like this not only removes that but makes it feel like you're accomplishing something that would take years in real life. Oh wow I'm a millionaire after 1 in game year. Real life, more like after you waged 50 years as a cashier while living with mom and dad. Though I don't really play these games, just assuming the reasoning behind it with what I'd see it as from my pov.
>>503525125If you're older, it's less fine but it's just a matter of having to make more attempts. It's like being ugly and trying to hook up with women. It's just more leg work you have to do until you find someone desperate enough to give you a shot.
>>503525251>disciplinecris practices his drawings 12 hours a day, you need more than discipline. you have to be smart enough to understand the different learning process each skill has,
>>503525573>cris practices his drawings 12 hours a dayFuck off cris, the only thing you practice 12 hours a day is shitting up the boards
>>503504362>inb4 this is the next stardew valleykek, bocchi-doubters will be in shambles for years to come or until a new meme becomes common place. imagine it getting 100k reviews, how would the thread be?
Just figured out this method.I can now finally master realism.
>>503525790>bocchitroon >taking credit for a 100 reviews game he didnt make>namedropping shartdewnodev tourist/10
>>503525251This applies to fitness too. As a middle aged guy I'm in better shape than basically 95% of guys in their 20s. Obviously I can't keep up with the top 5% who actually train consistently but that's life. I imagine it's even easier to out perform younger people in intellectual pursuits as cognitive decline hits far later than physical decline.
>>503525573cris is not cris because he's too old but because he's cris. whatever you lose from age 20 to age 50 you can make up for with more effort.
>>503525923
>>503524978>Well, I got laid off and didn't have a degree so I went back to get one after being unable to get any work.How does that sound?
you guys were arguing about how this place is trash the other day and ive been thinking about it, there's literally no where else on the internet i feel like im talking to real people...
Tricky broke 100 reviewsHow many DD games broke 100 this year? How many will break 100 next year?
>>503526276If you get an interview then it obviously didn't matter. The trick is to not get rejected before getting an interview.
>>503526362xer profits? -10k
i paid some indonesian 130 bones for a 2d model that ill never use, AMA.
>>503526318The thread has seen better days, fren.Discord has swallowed up a lot of the most active users. This is especially harmful for this hobby because there's a sharp divide between yesdevs and crabs.
>>503526362Into the necrovale is way more successful yey you don't talk about it, curious.
>>503523584thanks for proving my point imbecile, coding is the easiest by far
>>503526705necrovale performed similarly to tricky when it was on early access
>>503525251feeling: motivated
>>503525298the idea is using it as a gimmick for one or two levels, not something widespread
>>503526318>anon discovers appeal of anonymous imageboards (pornography notwithstanding)
>>503525251being older means you take less risks though, it's not necessarily a bad thing but can be for the sake of innovation
easiest part in gamedev doesn't mean that it's not hard
>>503526840What no? Necrovale had a 100 player peak while Tricky had 32 and sold way less.
>>503506962yaay
When cris dies he's gonna be considered the Tolkien of gamedevs, right now he's in his world war era and everything he makes is defined by his struggles, trust me.
>>503527051I think you should start taking more risks again after a certain point.I mean if I make it to 70 then what would I have to fear at that point?
>>503473582progress!finished the new drinks system making new drinks being super easy to implement, added a couple of alcoholic drinks8x speed because 4mb limit but that maid do be making some funny drinks
>>503527743Great progress, it's already satisfying to look at. That's a big part of the appeal of these kinds of games for me, just watching my tiny guys working like an ant colony.Capsule maid chan, my beloved.
>>503527721if you do everything yourself: time and change in tastes. the sense of wonder is what makes good games which goes away with time. cynicsm and refusal to learn new tools (jblow).
>>503526689the discord tempts me but i hate the layout
>>503527743Do you have an aesthetic in mind for those pillmaids? Do you need an artist
>>503527369necrovale sold 6k copies the first month, tricky is already at 2k copies in its first weektricky madness its a tough sell since it has only two levels, two characters, no story, no multipleyer, etc. so the full launch is going to do well
>>503527051>innovation>Stardew Valley, literally a clone, made $200 million dollarsInnovation is overrated. Or at least it's not more important than having played a thousand games and stealing ideas from them.
>>503528504is this ai slop?
>>503528494>3d game in a starved market is a tougher sell than a fucking 2d pixel art medieval fantay roguelikeOkay disregarding the fact that you keep moving goalposts instead of admitting that you were wrong I'm definitely getting schizo vibes from trickysimp.
>>503528257>sense of wonderHow the hell do I reclaim it, I've just suddenly lost it a few years ago - I'm old but not _that_ old yet... Nothing gives me that excitement anymore, no matter what I try all I see is just the technical part. Pretty darn depressing.
>>503528650ok he filled a gap in the market because there wasn't a harvest moon like on pc
>>503528650ConcernedApe invented Harvest Moon for PCs
>>503528339You get used to it.The problem for me is that everything I say has my profile attached to it. I'm afraid honest criticism may come across as rude or something like that.These concerns don't exist when you are anonymous. It allows for unparalleled honesty and racial slurs.
>>503528835it's affected everyone even younger generations. notice how many "Gaming isn't fun anymore" videos on youtube right now. What's worse is that after going into gamedev, I notice myself analyzing games and kind of knowing what the developer is trying to do in certain scenarios. It killed my love for linear games.
>>503528650>a game released in 2014>needing innovationThese low IQ people are the ones giving you feedback btw.
>>503528719how am I moving the goal posts? necrovale had 3k sales week one and tricky 2k I'm posting actual sales number that came from the devs themselves instead of basing it on steam chart numbers like a retarded /v/fag
>>5035292152016
>>503529240>vedditHe posted yesterday 1.5k sales, did Into the Necrovale, a pixelshart 2d game, outsell Tricky Madness, yes or no?
>>503528873>>503528894I doubt he was driven by careful market analysis. The point is he didn't innovate shit, he used his experience/memories as the creative guiding light so to speak. As you age you get more experience and memories so you can leverage that to compensate for a lack of crazy youthful out of the box thinking.
>>503529773hey schizo, you shouldn't use a game released 10 years ago as an example because spoiler alert: the market changed a lot
>>503529064>"Gaming isn't fun anymore" videos on youtube right now.Because negative emotions sell your videos much better? Every social media is focused on reinforsing doomscrolling of any kind
I played Necrovale, it was total garbage
>>503529734it's closer to 2k now than 1.5k, the argument was never about whether it outsold it but about how much it outsold it, both are in the same range of success
>>503524215ok
>>503529215>thinks 2014 is ancient times>I realize I may be talking to literal children
>>503530072But you have played it.
>>503530087You're mentally ill, bye trickysimp.
Hello, first time posting here and I'm wondering, does this general like Sneed posting?
>>503529734NTA but necrove had X5 wishlists of tricky iirc
>>503530213Yes, but I obviously pirated it.
>>503530342I accept your concession.
>>503529773nta but I think having a unique perspective is the true mark of a creative person.Perhaps this has happened to you: someone mentions something about a thing you are familiar with that would have never crossed your mind in a million years. It's both new and relevant which are the conditions for creativity.This can be seen if you ask someone to draw a well known thing like a building from memory. Their drawing will focus on whatever caught their attention or, in other words, their perspective.Stardew Valley is like this, it makes some elements from Harvest Moon less noticeable while placing more attention on others. It's the result of a unique perspective on something that already exists.
>>503529937>the market changed a lotThe market is always changing but the most played games are still highly derivative.
>>503527721It's probably more accurate to say that people take less risk as they have more to lose rather than as they get older. Most people gain stuff over time and therefore have more they can lose. People who don't accumulate stuff will actually have less to lose as they get older and can take more risks. This may be why the most famous examples of people who "made it" at older ages tended to be considered total failures before they did.
>>503530449Necrovale had 15000 and tricky had 10000
>>503530458I was giving my game away for free and people still weren't playing it.
>>503530779Whats your game :3
>>503530472Try accepting reality first, madam (talking about the fact that Into the Necrovale outsold Tricky Madness).
>>503530705it had 26k, just checked the archive
>>503524430my wife yumellia dork
>>503530475>Stardew Valley is like thisStardew Valley is a Harvest Moon clone.If you're looking for financial success, you're far better off stealing ideas from existing games. I don't mean flavor-of-the-month thing like VS but look back at what players liked about games from 15-20 years ago and combine those features in appealing ways. I suppose that's creativity too, and a far more sustainable form than having to come up with a new YOMIH or Balatro every couple of years. No one can do that.
>>503530826Sorry, it hurts my ego less to vaguepost over my failure than to let strangers on the internet find and laugh at my failure.
>>503530548nigga you're RETARDEDits like saying "just make a voxel game if you want to make billions", shartdew is a horrible example just like minecraft, it's a product of its time and specific circumstances
What's THE best way to handle formations imo? I also need to figure out something like how Rimworld lets you click and drag where you're sending your squad to make them all take cover or maybe not I can just half-ass it if it's a CRPG

>>503514318did he actually have a 100k job?
>>503531208>I would like to know why people would not play something for freeEasy: there are better things to play for freeAnon's game is probably not even be "bad" in any objective sense. As much as we like to shit on each other, I'd say most agdg games are not "bad." But the quality bar for "good" is just that high these days.
>>503531552
>>503531094>just make a voxel game if you want to make billionsjust make a fun game if you want to earn enough money to keep making games. how gamers have fun didn't change in the past 10 years.learn about the Lindy effect.

>>503514318Why? $100k is so much you don't even need to become a gamedev, you already made it if you simply wage long enough. You don't even have to wage into your 60's when you're making that much under 25.>>503520857Ugh I remember seeing a vid just like this shilled to me. Pretty sure it was this one, I'm so tired of this clickbait "look at me i hacked my brain into falling for the trap of loving to code" as if it actually worked and the brain isn't going to realize you're trying to trick yourself kek. Alright boy's odds this guy never completes a successful game?
Crew ui done.
>>503527743Really solid design and work already. Always appreciate your progress.
>>503528445I have no style or skills for anything for looks, so yeah I need a guy unless i somehow start learning blender
>>503532584I fucked up. I just know that he didnt come up with the game idea on his own.>LocalThunk explained that the game which game Balatro started out based on the Cantonese card game Big Two.

All the games I would want to clone are too big for a solodev.
>>503532738>>503532571
>>503533043only copy the core mechanic and make it fun anon, then you grow from there
>>503521198woah i'm a brainlet and suck at both but coding is much easier than art. art doesn't have the do x and you get y result. sure sometimes code doesn't work as it claims ahem unity documentation utterly useless in some things. but art, wew it's not as simple as put pixel x, y, z into (0, 2), (0, 5), (1, 2) and behold you've got pixel gold. if art was that easy i could just do commissions with high prices and just like that i can subsist off commissions while neet devving at the same time.
Holy fuck bros, I forgot how fucking tedious and unintuitive 3d animation was.
>>503531208>think about games that agdg has released for free>remember bearcycle>go to the steam community pageIt's comforting to know that even if I flop I can still have people post weird shit about my game
>>503532045come on anon you can do it!I'm going through the same too, I have a huge backlog of 3d assets I need to finish but I just want to code
I want to get into modeling in blender but wondering how texturing works? Can I just paint on the 3d model with like a brush if I want to?
>>503533392you can, but don't do that first, watch tutorials on texturing first.
i do not like my patience being tested
>>503490068You can use your real name and simply have the steam page with a made up username/company name that doesn't even exist or at least isn't incorporated.
