>>507644495dont reply to fygoon, dont make me tap the signpost progress
Would having a state machine for movement be a good idea for an FPS?
>>507644636here comes the fygoon platoon!
>>507644739I think that's how id Software did it with their classic shooters.
>>507644739I don't see why it would be a bad. That's how most do it.
Fygoon Platoon, where we at?>>507644798BASED!!!
>>507644739if you have to ask this, your game is not advanced enough to bother worrying about factoring out logic into character states. stop getting distracted by architecture autism and just make your game
>>507644636But anon, every hour that is used to patrol a thread is one hour of delaying a game.Having a Lizard game miss Year of the Dragon is scathing.
>>507644739yeah thats how games already do it
>>507644495Why Karl Marx?
>>507644891thanks bud, but now answer my question about tomo's insulting of your game
>>507644831>>507644927Guess I'll go with that then.
Guys... Please... Can you stop hating on me for using AI voice acting...? Please.... And can you stop banning me from the discord because of it? I promise I will change it out for release once I get the money... Guys please....
>>507644917>End date of the Year of the Dragon: 28 January 2025You thought you had an epic win, but it was more of an epic FAIL.>>507645038>The whole Frydar Island: Today being written in present Tense like a Book seems stupid to me.>Also the whole different Animals magically working as friends together on an Island with your Naming Conventions doesn't seem like my Cup of Tea.>So, the Lynx brings some Stones to sneak, and the Squirrels just brings in a Catapult? Unless my English is failing me, this sounds really stupid.He had to be destroyed.
tomo was unfathomly based

this general has become unusable and for that reason im out
>>507645505the discord is free from the undesirables
>>507645357I said in the previous thread and I'll say it here too: BASED and saved to the Fygoon Fanart album.

>>507644951christmas duh
>>507645216that sounds to me like she was calling very specific changeable things stupid, not the entire premise of your game or the manual. why not take it to heart as some harsh criticism instead of holding a grudge and not learning from it?
>>507645560>discordFuck off tranny
>>507645842ok whats the alternative
>>507645880russian girl lover forums
>>507645798I never actually bullied him, I just ignored the comment because it's meh.
>lofty loves fygoon>horbror loves fygoonit's over
re-skinned asset school uniform into one of my characters
>>507645923Wut?
>>507646010I fucking told you guys Lofty is a faggot, but you didn't listen. None of you ever listen to me.
Making a level, starting to feel like a game nowhttps://files.catbox.moe/n3et31.webm
>>507646065Nice, I love seeing cloth physics at work in games.
>>507646065>0:40
>>507646010the fygoon platoon is unstoppable
>>507646065looking good>that split second t posethat ue5 level guy is a fagtroon lover too
>>507646141you are too young for those
>>507646380>that ue5 level guy is a fagtroon lover too
>>507646505No I mean "wut" as in "what in the absolute fuck?", because that is fucking disgusting and I will not allow you to sully Russian culture with your cringe.
>>507646526Why do you use pictures of someone with alcohol fetal syndrome
>>507646715whats 4x
>>507644495why shouldn't I manually place AI nodes to guide my stupid dumbfuck NPCs.dynamic queries break all the time in weird situations depending on level.
>>507646676dont blame me for something the russians do
>>507646719Alice does not have fetal alcohol syndrome, you're trippin'.
>>507646010>Game that thought early access would be a good idea>Game whose release date is long after a fully finished DeltaruneThe opinion of failures does not matter. Those two aren't even trying to be worthwhile devs with those losses.
>>507646825Kill yourself pedophiliac
>>507646719>>507646825
eh I can't take these alice posts seriously anymore now that I know what the person behind them looks like
Last 2 threads were awful, more so than usual. If the shitposters have nothing better to do on Christmas, then any semblance of quality must come from those with girlfriends/families, proving once again that the wagie is superior to the NEET.
>>507644495Karl Marx was so last century, he's old news
>>507646989You were taking them seriously before?
>>507646921no thanks
>>507647048yeah I thought it was even cute, not anymore
>>507647227I have no idea what to say to convey just how disappointed I am in you.
>>507647486likewise
>>507647227what do you mean? fygoon is as cute like a button :D
>>507646991No, /agdg/ was always this awful. You're just a retard who never noticed.
>>507646991It's that time of the year for eric schizo
can't go to sleep because i have too many ideas and the urge to implement them all
>>507647561Well then, guess it's time to start Barmaleymaxxing.
>>507646010Only pedos are mad at fygoon, his game is soulful and he's a honest guy
>>507647663I still have no idea what your game is about but I like your progress.
>>507647663write them down and then you can sleep
>>507647717lolidevs are too busy working on their games to care, I always see fygoon getting jealous of the attention they get on the /v/ game dev threads
>>507647886you do know that you're replying to him samefagging right
i will never get people like that. i had strong dysphoria myself my entire life, had many struggles physically and mentally, but one thing i will never get is:why would you dress as a women, or not dress as the norm in general, its disgusting, takes the freedoms away one has and is just a bad look in general. trans women especially are bad in this. its the roided mind thinking they are allowed any benefits. no, you should not dress like a skinwalker. no, you are not allowed to be in women only spaces. no, i should not call you by your preferred nouns. at most the only identifier you should get is the pink triangle on your chest you fucking freak. i hate to be part of this community, im happy i can take this medication, as it makes me feel way better, but its disgusting to think of these people as my peers, and why are there so many in gamedev, can they just stop making videos with their disgusting voices. AI voice acting may not belong in a game, but it for sure should be used by them instead of whatever shriek of terror they produce.also whenever they do something drastic, like that one tranny burning themselves in berlin, they of course have to be some fat whale. happy those bloated ghouls burn at least a bit longer to lighten my day up.
>>507647991Wut?
progress
>>507647886Don't care I don't browse veddit
>>507647983yes
>>507645038>>507644187https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-56/rate/2345141
i have been awake for 6 hours and i havent even opened up my project...
>>507647663>It's fine to make an unviable game because it's my first gameDon't. Spare yourself the trouble of checking your sales & activation reports all the time. No one else needs to flop around here.
>>507648076I know the emojis are placeholder so what will the player designs end up looking like for the final product? Do you have any plans?
>>507647782it's just a platformer>>507647804i do, but then i start doodling on my phone and soon enough i'm sat in front of my computer coding
>>507648076nice Horde right?
>>507648237nice, I like tomo's honest and harsh feedbackit's funny how he doesn't reply to comments unless they suck his dick
>>507648431tomo is an annoying tranny who makes garbage unplayable demos, worst feedback giver after max stern
the reason why motivational talks, mindset talks, gurus etc. - why it all doesn't work. it is because.thinking != doingi've noticed i'm far more productive when i just do it. and then when i dont want to do more, i just do something else. like playing games, watching movies, cooking, chatting with friends or whatever.thinking about success or goals is totally pointless.just do and then let go again and stop caring about it until you do it again.
is bool intersecting fine for ONLY hard objects, soft bodies, or not at all?>need roughly similar face sizes to prevent texture stretch >bool can jeaopardize that
>>507646715So my roguelite is A tier then, right?
>>507648693nah, tomo is one of the few devs who don't make lame hugbox reviews here
>>507648237>axelstemsi wonder what happened to that guy? he used to create a new game pretty often
>>507646676i think russians are the most bipolar people ive ever met. (excluding women, because they all dress like whores anyways, and have three different prostitute personas until they hit 60 and become the sweetest person ever)the males either are complete ogres who have to be attention whores and defend their country like it means anything at all.. nobody cares about your fallen empire (and thats coming from a german), get over it. or they are the most fuckable submissive twinks ever.sorry fygoon, you clearly are not the latter. you belong into the prostitute category, as showing your body to anyone else than your beloved partner is whorish and soulless behaviour, better troon out now with that manlet stature before you rope anyways in 5 years. sadly this is a delusion, as im aware that people as retarded as you wont even have self doubting thoughts. why do i know that? because somebody who would be self aware wouldnt write such trash nonstop or have such a bad artistic vision. you are a autist, and not even the endearing type. shift 5 values on your stunted persona and you would be worse than chris chan, at least sonichu had more soul than this disgusting russian alice. from all the russian media, you had to choose that abomination.anyways, wont even interface with you anymore, as shouldnt others, just had to throw out the built up frustration from seeing you single-handedly making this general worse every single time i look in here. at least get a trip so that people can filter you, but you wont because you know that the only attention youll ever get is by being annoying you talentless retard.
Why is fygoon samefagging the previous thread? It's at page 9 is gonna get deletified soon anyway
>>507646065She's very pretty anon.
>>507648693Max Stern only uses 3 sentences at most.Tomo talked for so long that this is a real opinion that put in actual playtime.
>>507648920>bokube calling the pot kettle black
why can't i be awake for more than 8 hours without getting tired as fuck
A bit more progress and I should go to bed soon. Good night aggy daggy!
>>507648781surely there is a middleground between hugboxing and being a contrarian nitpicking retard, I just don't play or give feedback to roguelike games because i hate that genre and would be biased in my feedback, fuck the troon
>>507647991thanks for using my text as some copypasta ahahahaha, had to laugh at my own retarded writing
>>507648854>this entire post
>>507649113fygoon's game is extremely flawed and could easily pass off as a high school project, talking about its flaws doesn't make you a contrarianmost of the content in the review was justified, what exactly do you disagree with?
>>507649091sounds like diabetes.
>>507648693Tomo feedback was useful for me, although I try to take all feedback seriously.
>>507649293his game just feels like an excuse he made to justify his shitposting here
>>507649541nah, even I've put more effort into my shitpost projectsI think he's just incapable of making anything better like cris for example
>/agdg/ didn't buy my game on christmas>nobody on /agdg/ remembers my game and the few who do hate it vehementlyIt's why I am delisting it...
It seems like bone transforms are derived from the rest pose, so if I would have animations, then change the rest pose, the animations would get messed up. true?
>>507649680>nah, even I've put more effort into my shitpost projectsyou're right, here was my halloween shitpost
>>507649734Tell me your game and I might just buy it with my leftover Christmas money tomorrow, I'm feeling charitable.
>>507649734yeah gotta work harder on it, 8 hours per day minimum for 5 years. There's a lot of /agdg/ games on here I see I could make in 2 months or less.
>>507644798>>507644891lil ghost reporting in
>>507649961It's called H
>>507650162
if you can program you can make your dream game. you might not be able to make your dream art assets, but you can definitely make the game.
>>507650259My finger slipped. Regardless you're a bochi poster so you won't buy the game anyways. fuck you i hate you so much fuck you fuck you fuck you
>>507650534My dream game involves having my dream art assets and my dream amount of content. Nobody makes the first room in Morrowind and then says "yeah this is my dream morrow-clone completed!"
>>507650751Fine, your choice.
what kind of a game should i make in 2025
rate my ai art
>>507650137
>>507651026dont pretend anon
>>507650814Boccherini posters don't have money and are all poorfags. Not one of you ever bought Marmoreal. I don't know what you're getting at but you were most definitely not going to buy the game. BECAUSE YOU ARE A BITCH!?!!!
>>507651202>Not one of you ever bought Marmoreal.Literally 20 reviews on day 1 came from people who reviewed the 25 hour game after 20 minutes saying it's the greatest shit ever. Who do you think did all that?
>>507651323ignore the disingenuous retard
>I did more work on Christmas day than you fags did all month
>>507648693FAX.
>>507648303No. Im kinda torn between a few ideas>generic cartoon fantasy like barony>cute but disturbing like some of the darker kirby games>glitchcore like LSD>>507648410Yes
>>507651436webm not included as usual
man cant find the vid anymore. but it was a vid of jonathan and casey talking about gdc being bad. i think it was around 8 years old.the main issue they had was with "scoping". ofc they agreed that you can't make gta v or skyrim alone. but they said that scoping as taught by gdc devs sucks, because it implies you should work on many small projects and drop them after a year or so.and that it basically just means that you can never make anything cool, when you wipe out your progress every year.like, it's more likely to do something great when you keep cooking something for a longer time.
As a corpo wagie working on a single app with about 400 people in a bureaucracy hell (one time, changing a button text took us two weeks—I'm not even joking), I can't even describe how much I love when super successful devs who have made millions say they don't know how to use git or what a tech document or pipeline is. I'm almost cooming in my pants.
>>507651556>you can never make anything cool, when you wipe out your progress every year.I dont understand this sentiment. Your previous project, and all the skills, tools, assets you gained making it stick around
>>507651491I posted work earlier in the thread that I did as a treat for the holiday after finishing my progress. It's been ignored for shitposting.
>>507651691that's like changing your girlfriend every year and thinking your are making progress in building a trusting long-term relationship.
>>507651864>Food analogy
solo devs should make only one game and live off that game their whole life.never seen a solodev actually making a second hit.
>>507651864No it’s like dating a girl for a year before taking your relationship to the next levelTell me why it’s bad to make a combat-focused arena fighter before tackling an open world game that utilizes the same combat, with a lot of the same equipment and enemies
>>507652168all the solodevs who make money, that i know off, did it with their first game. because somehow they weren't project hopping. while others kept hopping.
>>507652289You dont know many solodevs clearly
>>507652071>>507652289are you excluding the goat lucas pope? edmund mcmillen also had multiple ones. im not saying that i could ever achieve anything like them. but im just saying that excluding these people is kind of unfair..
Off the top of my head>lunacid>lethal company>choo choo charles>dusk
the internet went to shit once noobs noticed that making money with education is easier than making money with the actual thing they are wanting to teach.the internet created a space where qualification and references are not required anymore to be allowed to teach.damn. i have no idea about how to fix a washing machine. but i could literally sell a course on udemy about it.
Steam has become kind of like dating apps, or rather it's the direction that a market goes into as it gets "optimized".For one, it's 100% a buyer's market and the platform is giving every advantage to buyers. On dating apps, the women are the "buyers", on Steam it's the gamers obviously.The barrier of entry is pretty low but the criteria for success is very high and getting higher all the time. Of course buyers think the bar for success is in hell (new games are all trash, men today are all trash, just do this, just be like that), but they don't see how their own criteria and entitlement have inflated.They're both increasingly a winner-take-all market where a small number of products gets the highest amount of interest.In cases of both Steam and dating apps, an entire grifter industry has arisen telling you what you must do to improve your chances. If you do a little investigating, you'll find that the advice-dispensing grifters aren't doing that well either.Finally, the more games you buy the less likely you'll find new games appealing. This is straining the comparison but I'm sure it's apt in some way.
>>507652289Except when you start digging into their biography they will have like 10 years in modding community or 10 years making concepts with their friends.
>>507652756so what's your solution? how will you make money with your game? how will you get noticed?if you don't think you have a chance, then why not just quit?and if you say "i dont want to quit because i like gamedev", then why do you think you should get paid for something you do for yourself and not for others?and if you want solutions, why do you despise people telling you that the solution is "make a better game, improve yourself", "make a genre that's in demand" etc.
>>507652937yeah so?
>>507652756>gamere are retarded animalsBro we already know this. That's why everyone on here says "just make the game you want". There's no guaranteed strategy to success but you're absolutely better off making something you want rather than soulless unneeded slop that's trying to game the market, for your own sake.
>>507653010>why do you despise people telling you that the solution is "make a better game, improve yourself", "make a genre that's in demand" etc.Because there is no "solution". The comparison to dating apts is quite apt in this case. Sure you can increase your odds of success but the fact is, at the end of the day, it's all about preference which is basically luck.People like you who treat that shit as the gospel and a surefire way to success are retarded though.
gamers are literally the most intelligent customers in any market. that's why so many games fail, because they think the market is a normie market, where they can just sell trash and scam people.let me ask you a question. if gamers are so dumb, why do are you hardstuck in bronze in league of legends? you are sure would be able to beat retards right?why can't you beat dota2 players? why cant you climb in starcraft? why aren't you the top guild in albion online?
Another /v/tard offended at being called out.
>>507646181very nice
>>507653230ok doomer. time for the rope. or at least leave this thread please. you lost your willpower, then please don't bother us with your crybaby rants. go call your mother and tell her. or join some communism discord and wait for the big revolution. but please don't come here to cry into my ears.
>>507653448You can go back to /v/ now.
impossible means impossibleincapable means incapabledon't mix those words up please
why are all godot multiplayer tutorials so bad... can someone code multiplayer in my game for me?
>>507653715no once i start talking about multiplayer i get asked to work on a game instead
>>507653532you are mad because you are incapable. you are mad at yourself for not being skilled and creative enough. you are mad that the market doesn't care about you.and that's fine, yes the world is harsh. nothing is easy.if we would make life easy we'd lay 1 million dollars in public on the floor. but you know what will happen? someone will take it all, because it was so easy to gather. and it will be gone in less than an hour. so the first who saw the opportunity won.easy opportunities don't exist, because once anything is easy, it's gone as soon as someone notices it.which means only hard opportunities remain. and hard opportunities require very skilled/creative people.if you aren't one of those elite people, you will not succeed. especially on the internet.so the solution isa) accept your fate, which you do already, but acceptance means not crying about itb) try hard to competethat being said, option A means you will never ever make a successful game. because you gave up. you cannot create a top-selling game by giving up. it's physically impossible unless you find some magic portal or spell to channel something into existence out of nowhere. or maybe you find a genie lamp or so.
there's a 1 to 1 similarity between hardstuck league players complaining about matchmaking and gamedev complaining about the market.
I want to finish my game as soon as possible before I have a Christmas dinner with my faggot rape victim dad.
the biggest lie of this generation is that hard work doesn't pay off. it's literally the most damaging mentality that has emerged out of the internet.the whole idea that you can make something nice that people want to buy without hard work is just ridiculous. it's absolutely delusional and completely out of touch with reality.
you know what i dont even want to make a multiplayer game in godot anymore if its gonna be this bad
>5 schizo blogposts in a rowWow new record
>>507653937You actually don't know anything about me and are just making up a strawman to continue arguing against. I don't even disagree with your sentiment but you can't even understand that. Though considering how you brought mmo garbage into this discussion I'm not surprised you don't understand this.
>>507653937>>507654103>>507654152>>507654238>>507654360>>507654382>>507654501Samefag niggerfag

wheres the progress
>>507654832I haven't made any sorry
>>507654832i made negative progress today and permanently broke my project (no version control) trying to add multiplayer
>>507654623>>507654660>>507654731Retardfag onionscuck.
>>507653028>just bee yourselfUnironically, it's the best advice>>507653010There might be no viable solutions. And giving up is a valid course of action, in both cases. The worst course of action is spending time and effort on ineffective solutions. It's better to realize when you can't compete and give up on time.
>>507654935just like ctrl z it bro
>>507655013i did 300 different things and half of them were un-undoablefuck you juan i hate your engine
>>507655006>There might be no viable solutions. And giving up is a valid course of action, in both cases. The worst course of action is spending time and effort on ineffective solutions. It's better to realize when you can't compete and give up on time.so do it finally and stop crying here every fucking day for the last 6 years.as i told you its the same as on /lolg/ where people keep posting "hurr durr its impossible to climb iam so hardstuck". yeah so quit playing league wtf man fucking crybaby.why do you people expect me to treat you like 6 year old kids who deserve a participation medal? you clearly have COMPLETELY wrong ideas about how easy it should be to sell a game.
Please kill yourself MMOfag nothing you say has any value
>>507655241how so
>>507654832Christmas just ended, I will make some progress tomorrow.I need to wrap up my demo for DD as fast as possible.
>>507653937facts
i can already tell 2025 will be a hexmaxxed year for me...
>>507655437giwtwm
>>507655241hardstuck bronze forever. mates are to blame. riot matchmaking to blame. clearly you are world class league player who just gets unfair treatment.
>>507655590I don't even play your shitty games, cope.
which engine do the people with unlimited freetime, zero motivation, zero discipline but unrealistically grand ideas use?I am ready to disappoint myself yet again
I think in current day this place is oversaturated with reddit tourists and nodevs and larpers.This place was always indispensible because provided a more personal community to developers, and I don't believe for a moment that any of the yesdevs would have ruined that because they would be losing the benefits too. This is all pure insanity. As long as people in this place used to encourage each other and treat each other as humans yesdevs had a reason to stay and to post as much progress as they can. Now that this unspoken agreement has been broken it has left dozens of devs stranded and panicked, and has allowed shitposters to make this place their designated toilet. If you are a yesdev and you are complicit in this then just know that you are to blame for your own suffering
>>507655665hardstuck. crying. being annoying. life of a loser.result of being cuddled too much in life. not prepared for the hard real world.
>>507655913>and I don't believe for a moment that any of the yesdevs would have ruined that because they would be losing the benefits too. This is all pure insanity.They ruined it because they spent too much time working on their games, jumping between projects, or just flopping, which causes them to become unhinged or depressed. AGDG was good at the beginning because it was still new with new, aspiring, hopeful developers. The people we have right now are too jaded, we need oldfags to retire already and let new blood flow in.
chronic complainers
>>507655913no, it's because you use an anonymous userforum, which only attracts the most anti-social, uncooperative people impossible, and even incentivizes that same behaviorwe've been over this a million times already. 4chan is a deliberately broken friend simulator for broken people who don't actually want to make any friends
i dont want moneyi want to make game
I don't want to make money.I want to kill everyone who has ever posted on /agdg/.
>something is hard so i should quitdo people who say this even listen to themselves? do they realize what they are saying?they literally think they deserve that people just throw money at them easily xDwhat type of mental illness causes this? playing too many video games where you just have to click some buttons to get gold coins?
>>507656178You might be right but I remember just a few years ago it was not as bad.>4chan is a deliberately broken friend simulator for broken people who don't actually want to make any friendsthis creates an unsolvable problem in that there's nowhere to go now. I don't need online friends I even actively avoid it, but we all need some constructive environment where work is encouraged instead of faggy gossiping and inane wasting of time. Where can people even go? Old /agdg/ was an irreplaceable tool in the toolset of any indie developer
why aren't you ragebaiting idiots with your game?clearly it's a proven way to be successful
i want a friend (to make games with)
>>507656668are you willing to dev your friend's idea, though?
>>507656479I don't see how it's irreplaceable at all. because you don't want a fixed ID attached to your online identity?with anonymous posting or even outside of a work-environment, like a project or an art commission nobody is incentivized to work harder or to even meet deadlines except exclusively for themselves which is not an environment where any serious competent person would hang outit's a friend simulator. it's anonymous reddit, always has been, always will be.
all money is spent on problem solving. what problems does your game solve?does it help with boredom?does it help with loneliness?
>>507656928my game sucks you off in vr
>>507656825It's irreplaceable because of the role it played in a game developer's workflow. Its existence allowed people like me to immerse ourselves in the activity and get into the mindset quicker if it didn't come naturally at a given moment. Going to a place where people all worked on games and shared them which is more personal than your average reddit page had enormous utility even if not everyone realized it.
>>507656825You're implying there is a non-anonymous alternative where people will engage with you as much as they do here.
I unironically used to get more attention and praise as a zero skill nodev than I did after I made several high-effort games
>>507656178>>507656479>>507656825>>507657097>>507657192I still haven't gotten any kind of answer any time I ask what the point of this place existing is if progress is not rewarded with attention
>>507657097that's absolutely nonsensical and I think you realize that on some levellike walking down the street and asking random people passing by how to help with your problem rather doing something proactive to solve it, like fucking googling it or reading the posts on forums where actual professionals hang outyou come here to relax or feel inspired by the community (friend simulating) however this places no actual fixed burden on you to do anything which is what you prefer because of laziness or lack of commitment >>507657192you're farming engagement bait from retards rather than just using your actual fucking brain or following some simple principles you could've lifted from countless devs on twitter
Hypothetically speaking, if you didn't want to look for plugins left and right and had to legally seek a single download to make music for a game, which would it be? Assume a DAW has been pre-installed.
>>507655169>so do it finally and stop crying here every fucking day for the last 6 years.No, and fuck you for feeling entitled to my absence and silence. When I see dysfunctional shit, I'm going to call it out. The gaming market is broken due to an overabundant supply, and not enough people here are aware of it and are throwing their lives away.
>>507656784yeah, but obviously we would be a team.. and i would have things to say and ideas too...
>>507657584>The gaming market is broken due to an overabundant supplyxDDDholy shit what type of brain damage were you born with?
>>507657568People used to come here because there was an expectation that game development would be discussed. Now it's just some gay chatroom. I have no idea if you understand this but this is currently the most offtopic general on the board
>>507657509it's a complete any attention you receive here is worth a milligram more than you would get on any other site like twitterit's more like, if you have to use 4chan to engagement farm that's actually a bad sign, for your game and for your own commitment or confidence in your project
>>507655913Whodev that also fun posts. I think it's the literal insane people. It's been happening across the site according to one anon on a different board and I have seen it myself on a few boards, not sure where these people are coming from or how they even have internet access. At the rate things are going the owner of this site will have to do something about it, it's getting worse and will probably result in a new chan taking over if these madmen aren't stopped in their tracks from spamming and stuff. Look, I'll even force the thread psycho to show himself since he seems to have something tracking any mention of Eric who is a succesful dev.Regardless Im sure that if nothing is done aggy daggy will fade away. At least gamedev can be talked about on the discord and Eric as well, identifying the madman that froths about him would be easy. But yeah I don't have high hopes for 4chan or aggy daggy lasting. I might have to join the discord and directly befriend the devs I personally like. Though if I succeed before such a thing happens I might just stay by myself in terms of gamedev and just befriend other succesful devs who seem to be similar to me in mindset and surround myself in fanboys and fangirls of my game.
>>507657842*complete fallacy to think*geez
>>507657754>no, uA well crafted argument, sir.
>>507657925Eric posting is cancer just because he's a celeb and that's gossiping which isn't game development. It's not one person who has a problem with him
>>507658053just say it out loud: "work is too hard, i want welfare"
everytime i see a eric OP image i get disgustedim not hating on the guy i just dont wanna see him posted all the time
>>507656567being able to elicit any emotion whatsoever would be an accomplishment for the autists in here
>>507646065When 3D modelling characters like this, are they modelled nude? What are the legalities behind this since some nations seem rather anal that I wouldn't be surprised if you'd get jailed because they're modelled nude and they slap you with a crime for it. Well how else are you supposed to model a 3D character? The clothes as part of the model itself? Good luck changing outfits.
>>507655913I have never discouraged people from posting progress. I just posted progress of my own and otherwise silently lurked the thread. But when I saw /agdg/ ganging up on my game for no reason I decided to abandon all hope for this place. You betrayed me. You ruined me and my game. And frankly, I think you deserve the complete ruination of /agdg/ for that.
>>507646065SOVL SOVL
>>507656928my game solves the problem>there are no good games about X, they all suck
>>507658207Autists have feeling too.
>>507658313post game
>>507658470proving my point by not understanding the assignment
>>507658124>just work hard bro, if you didn't make it, it's because you didn't work hard enoughretarded mindset
>>507658990what's your solution? i listen.
>>507658228yes, they're modelled nude but don't need details like nipples unless you're making porn game.having nude basemodel makes it easier to add different skins later on.as for legalities, they're not real so don't worry about it.
>if something is hard, you should quit/agdg/ winner mindsetsomehow people keep getting mad at me for pointing out this obvious logical flaw
>>507658776Rewrite as a math problem or something then, I don't know.
fart
>>507659380>>507658990still waiting for a solution...
i wish life was just like a video game. some npc talks to you that they need some code. they tell you how much they pay. you solve the quest and collect the reward.no need to have a brand, nobody cares how you look or live. no need to move to another town. no need to socialize. no need to have a company. no need to come up with pricing and business models.you just get a bunch of quests to solve with a defined reward.it's almost like you have to be a professional at finding work. like, you need to work, just to get work.it's insane.
>>507660439>i wish life was just like a video game
>>507659529you're sitting on this forum posting here so obviously you aren't working hard yourselfyou're just pushing this hardass 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps' line to reinforce this reality to yourself more than anybody elseit's not a useful heuristic, if work feels hard then you might need to re-evaluate why it feels that way first if you want to make any progressultimately it shouldn't feel desperately hard to work, you should be happy with your life day to day. if it isn't happy then it's something you would be just as well served to fix first in order to be more productive rather than just le "work harder lol"braindead
>>507660597>be basic bitch>put 10 points into social skills>get programmer job with 0 programming skills>be stay at home nerd>learn 5 programming languages>work on several projects>can't find work because you have invisible mental wall between you and othersi think the competency crisis has a lot to do with competent people being social outcasts who are incapable to do the basic rituals and formalities of society
>>507659380There is no solution. Everybody should be aware how tiny their chances are.
>>507660834So you admit, that you only come here to discourage people?
if the difficulty of gamedev makes you feel uncomfortable, why don't you go away and choose something easier? you can work at a gas station and smoke weed or so.
>>507661495Working at a gas station is harder for me than gamedev.
i will not buy games with hot scalie men made out of 3d spheres
>>507660829A fellow schizo, I would like to add something to your hypothesis. I think this is a sign of a low trust society.Hiring an autist represents a risk. They are essentially social retards and everyone has a hard time getting along with them, but the risk is worth it for the chance of a breakthrough and/or innovation.This must be the case since the archetype of the weird social outcast savant is as old as time and autism has a genetic component. It's logic to think that there is some kind of advantage to have 1-2% of the population with some degree of the 'tism. This includes the 1/3 chance of autism representing a legitimate disability.However, what if you can't trust the average person? Suddenly risk management becomes far more important and hiring decisions are delegated to HR experts who have their own agendas to boot.In times of distress, loyalty and predictability become far more important. The 89 IQ diversity hire has both, they are loyal to the system that affords them opportunities they otherwise wouldn't have and are mentally incapable of being unpredictable. Also, 89 is pretty good for their demographic! They were probably top of their class at LeBron James Elementary.
Hey guys I wanna deform arbitrary mesh vertices in unity, but all solutions I've found either do it in update loop with abysmal performance or use custom shaders. The problem is I already have a fairly complex shader asset I'd like to use with the mesh and I don't think I will be able to jury rig deformations there.Is there any feasible way to do this with any shader?

>>507662745I think you just can't imagine someone wanting a hard challenge. Harder challenge = Bigger reward. If you want less risk and more security, find something else.
>>507657652why can't you choose one of this general's games and offer to help then?
>>507658207fytroon manages just fine
>>507662959hard challenge that will take years of full time work and where so much doesn't depend on your effort. as long as everybody knows it's a hard challenge and that failure is the norm.
>>507663326yeah. that's the reality. otherwise there wouldn't be a chance to get rich with it. what's your point?nobody goes like "man i want a stable job, i should make a solo indie game". lmao. what even is your point?if you need stable income get a job in grocery store.
agdg went to shit once phone posting became a thing
>>507663613so 2007?
>>507661734>Working at a gas station is harder for me than gamedev.that's why it pays a lot better too
>>507663613>Mobile phones became the majority of web users on the internet in 2016. This shift was marked by reports such as one from StatCounter, which noted that, in October 2016, mobile and tablet devices accounted for 51.3% of global internet usage, surpassing desktops for the first time.Groups or societies may construct an "enemy" to unify members around a common fear, even if the threat is exaggerated or intangible. Examples include fears of "outsiders," ideological opponents, or unseen conspiraciesTLDR Stop inventing boogiemen to scare yourself with
>>507664108Checks out, /agdg/ went to shit in 2016.
progress, i added some particle effects and screen shake, a projectile reflector, and some new upgrades for demon day. going on vacation but will be going through crackhead style fentanyl tier withdrawals fiending to play some demos when i get back
>>507664108How does that disprove anything?First of all, he said "became a thing", not "became a majority". Second, it's an extremely common opinion that 2016 is when everything went to shit on 4chan.
tomo the french discord man > tomo the german 4chan trannyI'm just gonna say it
/agdg/ actually went to shit after the normalfags went back outside after covid lockdowns were over
>>507664507the latter has made a game
>>507664464>How does that disprove anything?Give me some evidence to the contrary instead of just your opinion? Can you actually prove that phone posting in 2016 ruined the site?
/agdg/ went to shit the same year /v/3 came around
Progress: SAT done, currently only used in optimizing the collision Triangles into gridcell overlaps for faster detection, in order to not collide against all Elements, and accidentally displaying them as a Disco.Will probably just use it for actual collision detection aswell, but the whole Thing needs a big refactor beginning of next Year, its not clean written at all right now.But I'm on good Pace to finish Collision this Year, so I can work on the entity exporter for automatic height transition Zones and map transitions, which should mark anything movement related being complete. These Things do come with a bit of refactoring aswell as fixing a handful of unfinished/buggy elements tho.
>>507665006Nice Progress.Do you still do 3D models for Anons or was that tied to the old dead PC?
Man I hate this shitty dark theme, can't read shit.

>>507665869>>muh evidenceOtherwise it's just your opinion, so what's the point?>Are you saying everyone who claims the website got worse in 2016 (you yourself said "mobile and tablet devices accounted for 51.3% of global internet usage" in 2016) is wrong I'm saying it could be something else because I think the idea that phones destroying a website is a bit farfetched. Why did it only ruin 4chan? Were other sites ruined by this 2016 phone doomsday?I'd say any perceived decline in quality is probably just due to a changing online environment, the internet and this site is not what it used to be and it will be completely different again in another 8 years. Some things got worst but other things got better, too.I'd say personal opinion is that the 2016 election did not help though.>(who obviously is a 2016+ tourist yourself)I've been here since 2008 unfortunately
>>507646816They break because you did something wrong so a fix like that won’t work
godotgods, i must askis there any other way of making a radar besides a camera on top of the player, facing down, with circles on top of detectable things that only the camera sees?or is that really the best way
>>507648754You can use bool for anything as long as it’s not too many objects then it’ll start to chug.
>>507666676no there are other ways to do it
>>507666758how :(
>>507666828add an area to the playerfor every body in the area, add/update an icon/dot on the radar

>>507666954thank you
>>507667258its actually a genius idea and i cant believe no one has done it beforethink this is my ticket to the big leagues

>>507667315Think about if you quit your job, work on your game for five years, fail, and give up.In this scenario where you fail hard, how does it compare to your current life? Would you regret it?
>>507667675https://howtomarketagame.com/blog/
>>507667739Thanks, I will check that.
>>507667734i have money saved so maybe i'll just figure out how to invest properlyi think i could live a meager porefag life on interest without it running out anytime soon
i have an incredible idea but im too lazy, and not good enough, to make it.
>>507667560I'm in the same boat as him wanting to quit. My game is a Business Sim, maybe a spreadsheet sim but not sure exactly what that entails. I was actually thinking about trying to see if any game conference exists with a focus on these kind of games. The guy in the pic mentioned trying to do that before launching on steam. But I'm not too worried about it.

>>507677707Besides income, what's the point of waging when it drains so much of your energy? Is it a psychological effect of looking forward to gamedev as a hobby but also a way out of the wagecage?

>>507679068Fagoon overran the /v/ thread too. And discord is for trannies.
>>507679361Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm not even talking about the /agdg/ discord, there's a few new splinter ones with mostly current devs that are nice to chat in.

I only remembered him after seeing Fagoon's face.With luck, the same will happen with him.
>>507664452Looking good, it's got the nortubel art direction though and it might benefit from using some visual hierachy to saturate/ brighten/ contrast the important sprites from the background and the effects. Like how important is the blood sprite for the user? What is the purpose behind their rendering? Are they interactive or provide some kind of clue for survival or is it simply cosmetic flair / juice? Get what i mean? If you squint your eyes do you notice what's most important first? Hope that makes sense.You should be able to do so without compromising the overall vibe. Okay let me know once you tweaked them thanks. Nice work.>>507677245This is kind of true but it's really not the fault of discord, it's inherent of your monkey brain. Socialization can be fun and addicting and discord facilitates the process better than the threads. It's like saying socializing is bad for making progress. Which is kind of true, but like, you just gotta look inwards and think about why you feel that way rather than making it the applications fault
>>507681971I never posted my face, my schizos did; however, I don't mind seeing my beautiful face on the internet because it reminds me how awesome my life is and how it must suck for you losers to live in my shadow. The real question is, how did it take you smooth-brained fucktards so long to actually find me? I thought you all were "misunderstood geniuses" that the world hated because you all liked jerking off to Japanese cartoon porn.
>>507681971I do feel kind of bad for these mentally and physically stunted mutts. They cling to hope that things will get better eventually, but they're too stupid to realize it won't, and that they're just delaying their inevitable roping.
>>507682396I don't think they were incapable of finding you, they just weren't that interested in doing so. Why do you want them to be interested in you?
>>507681971It is odd isn't it. Everyone that name fags, avatar fags, is a mentally ill piece of shit. Like in every area of this website, the namefags eventually out themselves as deeply retarded mentally ill losers. And a lot of times they view it as like, a testament to their belief in themselves to annoy everyone and if they stop annoying the shit out of everyone they view it as like, giving up on their dream.
>>507682436Ok, we get it, you have swarthy genes and you're an untouched incel. Go back to /pol/.>>507682568Publicity, duh.>>507682648>Everyone that name fags, avatar fags, is a mentally ill piece of shit.Speak for yourself, simp.
>>507682396How does it feel being a gigamanlet? Does it feel strange that there are middle schoolers that are taller than you? If I had dwarfism I might act like you do… the need to always feel bigger than you are.
>>507682436>I do feel kind of bad for these mentally and physically stunted muttsBeing terminally online is a choice
>>507682648I guess everyone wants to matter and we all deserve to feel like we make a difference in the world. If you are for some reason unable to attain that IRL, you find other avenues. Like that netflix WoW documentary about the disabled fellow. So it can be a wonderful thing, people just have to realize it's like that fot everyone though, and being nice to others and making them feel like they matter is actually the mission. Are you the runafangz poster? I love those images, can you please post more pictures of internet women
>>507680016This is true.Also the golden rule of tabletop game design>A good game is a series of interesting choice.

I wish I could share some with you, but women won't allow for that.

>>507683168I don't know who runafangz poster is, but I have some of pics of her, I collect them whenever someone posts. I have no idea where they get them from, and don't care to know. But still, for a little hobby, I collect rare Runa's. Made a lot of progress on my game yesterday. Basically built a turn system. Where when next turn is hit it runs an animation and in the background it runs some save logic but mostly updates the UI with the new results. It was a fun day and a fun system to implement. Always fun to think up ways to effectively use interfaces, which I did for my save system. In the past I had copied someones save system through youtube, but it was a bit, uhh, unwieldly, so I built a much simpler one that I fully understand.

I went through a phase as a kid where I actually wanted to be annoying.Throughout my life, I've noticed other children seeming to behave with the same motivation.I do think it was about what this fellow says >>507683168Wanting to make a difference. People sort of hand-wave it away as "attention-seeking", as if that means it's a problem not worth dealing with. It's really dismissive of what's actually a rather terrible kind of suffering.Anyway I wish that nerd you're all talking about would calm down a bit too. His smug, haughty attitude is pretty irritating.I'm a smaller man too at 5'6". It's a little embarrassing, but far more embarrassing than that is small dog syndrome.I don't have an answer to overcoming the suffering that leads to such behavior, but you gotta figure this shit out man. There's no reason to be posturing and pissing all over everyone. It actually diminishes you and makes you more pitiful and pathetic. You are a holy being and you don't need to resort to this kind of behavior to have dignity. Nobody but you can remove it from yourself, and boy that's the direction you're going.>old progressLike a month ago I finally figured out how to build an arraymesh in which the resolution cuts in half at some distance from the player. I'm quite pleased with it. Webm related.>new progressNone. Only struggles and dead ends. Still, we continue.

>>507686524Wtf looks amazing, are you moving the plane around but remembering the wave height values in world position? Is this costly? How are you going to make it look right for other ships beyond this plane?

i have a race that are powerful mages but more prone to being mindraped and influenced by otherworldly forces. that's their biggest downside. is there any way i could convey this in gameplay in any meaningful way? hallucinations and stuff is cool thematically but it doesn't actually mean anything negative for the player at all
>>507687043Thanks anonThe plane and its vertex heights are generated and calculated anew every frame, centered on the player's position snapped to the nearest vertex. It's certainly not optimized, but it's not terribly slow. Fast enough for the scales I'm dealing with.Nothing should be visible beyond the plane in-game. I'm using a shader to bring the vertices down to a curved horizon.
>>507687874simplest approach I could think of would be increased chance for Spells to backfire.Otherwise, have a chance for some Dialogue Options to be a forced selection at random, when you're getting influenced? Or a chance in Combat to become possessed for a turn or two, taking random actions/actions influenced by otherworldly forces?Instead of just hallucinations, have them sometimes based on magic value? see through a veil into the other Side, allowing them to find hidden Items, switches, whatever if you also want positive Options. Or maybe a chance for additional Enemies to appear during Combat only they can hurt/can get hurt by?If you really want to have this matter a lot, you could build entire Questlines that only unlock at a chance based on magical prowess, with increased chance for them.Pic related had a nice Intro with a kind of disturbing vision of the Future which could happen with your Characters, allowing you as the Dev to supptly influence the Player to make bad/wrong/different choices then they would normally, by pretending if they make them something bad/good happens.Also just warping the Environment visually to cause distress or different Decisions can have enough impact on the Player, even Gameplay-wise if it causes them to change Decisions. Have a simple Enemy warp into something horrible looking with hallucinations in Combat, and the Player may waste ressources Attack those that they then lack in the Boss fight following it or something.Post Game, or tell me more about it?
>>507687521usually it's because I get distracted

how many aggy daggy games do you currently have installed?
>>507682176thanks for the feedback, at first I was adding colors without considering the context of the other assets which after adding the wall/floor tiles I realized was completely retarded. I'll need to do another pass on certain things
>>507680016True especially for turn based games and RPGs
>>507691074None.
>>507687874currently working on this too, my take is something like vermintide where mages don't really use mana where it just empties after some time. my plan is that they channel the abyss and if you use it too much, it would trigger some shit. I took some inspirations from rogue trader's perils of the warp where you sorta roll a table of effects that can happen, for example like you're suddenly exploding, accidentally a monster from the abyss and so on. you can probably look up the table for some inspiration
>>507692061>accidentally a monsteri am drunk, i meant accidentally summoning a monster that attacks your entire party
>>507691074Only Marmoreal since I am currently playing it. I only have one 125GB hard drive.
>>507683265This game is using unlit materials, right?
>>507689503>>507689592I don't really want to reveal too much detail on actual factions and characters yet because I will probably rewrite them, but I can give you a small taste of some of the main ideasA brutal arctic expanse marked by the ruins of an ancient advanced civilization, who's collapsed fractured both the physical and metaphysical laws of reality. The lands lies frozen under eternal storms, the land itself bleeds corruption and otherworldly influences stir beneath the ice.Between the hollow spires of abandoned ancient cities guarded by their vengeful spirits, settlers, beast-human slaves and scavengers eke out a harsh existence.In the black tides around the frozen coast lies a great, endlessly swirling whirlpool whispered to be the center of the worlds corruption due to the maritime crime syndicates and infernal cults that plague the salt-stained shantytowns built around it. Further inland in the shadowy mountain ranges, pale scaled and half-skeletal decaying dragons watch with cold intelligence, silently plotting for the right moment to rebuild their primordial dynasty.Without the ancients steady hand keeping the heavens in check they have fractured and now bloody eclipses, storms of falling stars and glowing fissures in the firmament have begun to occur, fueling dark rituals performed by blood cultists who seek communion with otherworldly forces.Playable races I have in mind are:HumansBeast-humansIceborn - some say they're descendants of the celestial overseers that mixed with humans, while other believe them to be avatars of the frozen lands themselvesAccursed - humans who's parents have been corrupted by the ichor flowing deep beneath the earth, prized by the blood cultistsGilded remnant - sentient machines built by the ancients that have somehow survived or recently been reactivatedSundered - beings who's souls have been partially severed in one of the celestial upheavals, leaving them half-dead and half-living
>>507693304Cool, Anon.What will the playable classes be?Will it be a Morrowlike open world or more linear and narrative based?Got any gameplay yet? Combat?
>>507691074Sadly none. I don't trust any of you fuckers here. I only play if there is a playable web version.
>>507693784morrowlike would be cool but I think open world is probably too ambitious. maybe more like little levels that have multiple connections to other levels. we'll see.no gameplay yet but I have a bunch of old sort of similar projects and systems which I intend to scavenge parts from to make this one. I don't plan to have you choose a class, you choose race, background and a few other things like talents, personality traits and under which star you were born which gives you small bonuses and may or may not have narrative impact.

you guys spent all night whining about the game markettheres a certain type of person that posts in this thread that is so developmentally stunted they have no access to any sort of income. they are 30 years old still living with mommy having never had any sort of job in their life. they see indie game development, a very difficult career path that should be reserved for people who actually care about and enjoy game development, as their last resort to make something of themselvesjust because the barrier of entry is low enough they don't have to leave the house or speak to anyone. all they have to do is install unity and suddenly, magically, they could make a game that will allow them to retire and also attract 3 or 4 different women to fight over him.i think if you find yourself in this situation you should stop being such a coward and apply for a job at walmart. making 40 dollars for a day of hard work that you can hand to your parents for not leaving you homeless and starving is far better than raging against the "gamedev lottery" that you have a zero percent chance of winning

How to know if a game (early prototype) has potential? I put my game on demo day and I got a lot of comments and while everyone was kind of nice, nobody seemed to love it either. What else is there to do? Itch algorithm seems shit so I have no idea if that's a good metric.

>>507703218There's a low baseline of visits Steam will give you. Those add up after a while.Also you can get a decent amount of wishlists and interest with screenshots only.

>>507707193I started making games because I couldn't get hired writing any other software (or really doing any job other than physical labor).
>>507707029You're burning.
>>507707293>old fucks who gave up on their dreamsYou've described yourself 5 years from now
>>507707405Better not go any further or we might get into copyright infringing territory
>>507707193You're still just going to be a slave doing that. It makes no difference. If you're single, whether you work at Mcdonalds as a manager, or you're a software dev, your life is almost the same. With taxes, housing payments, you're still stuck and reliant on working every single fucking day. At least game dev is like, a poker hand. A chance.

hmm chatgpt is down guess i'll stop game dev for now
>>507710393lol, been there for sure. ChatGPT made me level up so much as a dev. Not having to listen to the retards at stack overflow has truly been a gift from god.

Every music or sound effect I find is either too loud or too soft. Do you guys manually adjust the volume of every sound in-game or do you edit the sound files themselves?
>>507710325it seems like i have to open the file on inspector, and then reload the project, to make it reset. Maybe it's got to do with some sort of like... marking the asset dirty or something like that? My gitignore has nothing about .asset

>>507711273>no eceleb worship>no malicious crabbing>no fotm trend chasingIt's nice to see that the spirit of old /agdg/ yesdevs still exists thanks to people like you, I wish you all the success in the world with your game I think it's something special, happy holidays king.

>>507712307I'm ok with neurodivergent yesdevs posting in /agdg/, people can be a little weird and that's ok as long as they're not malicious unlike say eric schizo who's deranged. Stop trying to force a "lolcow" or "thread culture" and other things and actually work on a game for once, fygoon is a nice dude even tho he can get obnoxious at times.
>>507710325This is hairmeshdata SO. does this look right..

>>507712545Is eric schizo in the room with you right now?
>>507712785Its almost like the complaining about people shitposting is just as annoying as the shitposting, and clearly has the opposite effect of what you actually want. I love all of you retards, shitposters, nodevs and spammers as well.
>>507712391Get well soon.>>507712785Although I wish he focused on posting his game more I hope that fygoon reads this post and realizes how insane the people who constantly shit on him are, I'm EU btw.

>>507713109I completely agree. Fygoon has got a cool game going, and has made strides with his development lately. He should spend more time developing and posting screenshots and less time doing other shit. >>507713235They do not.
>>507712545People who say neurodivergent are such fags. Like what does this word mean. It relates to the brain, and then diverge. Brain Diverges from the norm. Just call them an annoying fag. Stop trying to sound intelligent. I hate when reddit learns a new fucking word, that means I have to hear the weirdos at work also use it and try to win smart points. Annoying as fuck.

I got a 2 year gap on my resume because I wanted to pursue gamedev after getting laid off. The problem is that I didn't produce anything beyond abandoning projects. Should I even mention gamedev in the interview? I could whip something up in 2 weeks and upload it to itch to show that I wasn't lying.

So he's talking about it, seeing boobs or whatever, we're laughing. Then he mentions that a certain point the guards raped him. And we are dude, you're playing a game where you, as a man get raped? And he just giggled. At that same place a woman was talking to me. She's like, a furry came over to pick my son up. When I got home a giant furry creature was standing in my living room and took my son, I never even saw his face.America is crumbling.

>>507716069thank you for fighting the good fight fygoonCHAD
I don't have any job skills other than gamedev. Even that is debatable because I didn't specialize in anything so I'm not a fit for any job openings. I am so screwed.
>>507716085At some point ed's entire video comes down to AI doesn't matter, and the AAA industry problems doesn't matter ether and good design will always make you successful and imo its up to you to understand if thats cope or based. Depending on which will determine what your gamedev journey's results will be.

>>507716552>he doesn't know about the dev here who keeps saying he's unable to find anything because he started his own business years ago and is now locked into game dev
>>507701497This. I only see it as doable by making big successes the middle ground seems far to difficult to pull off. A regular job, provided you don't get fired has a stable income. You can't get that woth gamedev, 1 game might get you 3 years average income but then the next one ends up failing and now you've got none for the next few years. You need a much higher income from gamedev to make up for that potential reality of your next game failing. Which means, at least for 1st worlders, that your game probably has to get something like 1000 reviews minimum just to fund the development of the next 2 or 3 games.

if fygoon stopped avatarfagging and just posted humble, honest progress of their game then we wouldn't be in this messI don't care what your game looks like as long as you're talking about the game development side of things, to this day I have absolutely zero idea what the fuck even goes on in fygooners 2: goon harder, all I know is it's a 3D game (probably)please
>>507703605This.t. Usually say nothing if it's unimpressive
>>507716705So you're saying I should make a porn game on the side to fund other ventures. Interesting...
>>507716903antifygoon schizo is just insane, fygoon did nothing wrong and anything he did was just to prove a point (like avatarfags getting away with it)

>>507716903Retards keep mentioning his name and giving him the attention he wants. He'll never fuck off at this point unless someone approaches him irl
>>507717109nah fygoon got warned multiple times, he had it coming
>>507717109There are like 1000 anti fygoon posters, faggot.
>>507717259what are their games then?
>>507716307You got it>>507716612I am in the same boat: I like using talking animals as a way to convey interesting stories without humans because I find humans really boring in a fantasy setting (of course I'll add Humans later, but that's besides the point); for instance, would you rather play as a gay pasty-skinned elf going "hi-yah" and screaming Japanese nonsense or as a badass, fire-breathing dragon?With that being said, I will never support furfags because they ruined the concept of talking animals to the general public and I will take back what is rightfully ours and drive those degenerates into the ground.>>507716903>fygooners 2: goon harderThat's the spin-off online game that completely fucks up the story by mixing elements of the canonical The Frydarian Tale and the abridged Adventures of Fygoon internet cartoon series, obviously made in the style of Kievnauchfilm's classic cartoons like Adventures of Captain Wrongel, Doctor Aybolit, and, the best of the best, Alice.Ok, but real talk, I'll get back to work.
>>507717304I recall Dirk being one of them, Tower of Kalemonvo too, I guess Pink Turtle also counts. Fygoon has been crabbing ASA dev too but I don't know if the dev is a fygoon hater.
>>507717203His game will fail and at that point he'll no longer be able to deal with the cognitive dissonance of his pathetic fucking life. Hopefully he kills himself at this point, but regardless, any time he shows his face I'll mock him for his game being a piece of shit. You can't just troll people into enjoying a game. You can't get a vpn and force steam to show your game. You can't be a giant faggot and get people excited about a trash game. All the little tricks he pulls to feel important here won't work. Reality will come crumbling on his fucking head soon enough. And I for one, can't wait.

Got a wacom pad for christmas, trying it out. I kinda want to try going for the same style as spectre of los when using this. I have got a long way to go.
>>507717643I will die before admitting RTS isn't feasible. The problem with RTS is that it's made by nerds. It's like train nerds, when not watching trains, get together and make RTS games. You always end up with these pieces of shit pointless games. There's no reason war shouldn't be fun. But people get so obsessed with copying the old format, that they exist why the format was made. The format was made as a war sim essentially. In a fun, fantastical way, but still, war. But now these games are made with balance in mind. Usually very very low player count. Not sure why that is, I think they think it's more tactical. But tactical RTS games aren't fun at all. I dont' think anybody really enjoys RTS campaign missions where you control like 4 characters tactically. That shit is boring as fuck. But these nerds keep trying. Anyway, if someone had some experience, some money, some talent, and a vision, I bet they could make a fun RTS. It's tough for an indie though, it's just so much work.
>>507717643being a jobby sure sounds awful and here I am just making what I love not caring about what the world thinks of it.
>>507717461Bro, I crab on the ASA guy because I want him to release more than two fucking levels, do you know how triggering it is to see that shit everywhere and know it's not a complete product?Wait a minute...
>>507718204i look like that but do not say that
>>507718038fygoon got beef with osur and got banned as soon as he entered the discord to interact with him, I see him crab other devs in the /v/ threads like asa
thought of something i have to fix while showering but forgot
>>507718218He made the clarification that RTS is not viable at an indie scale. Make your RTS after you have a solid studio team and a $10m+ budget.
>>507718218Keep on trucking, anon. I'm waiting to see your golden RTS, hopefully before 2030.
>do nothing >win.
>>507717643VR puzzle platformer bros with local multiplayer rts mode what do we do now!!?!?!?!?!
>>507718425Making an rts is like, 5th on my list of Genres to revamp.
>>507717643>Crafty, buildy, simulationy, managementAre these all one or separate genres? What about 4x? What is Kenshi, is that an RTS? I can see why not to make one, looks very time consuming to make a good one that avoids the simpler gameplay types of RTS.
Restored input binding to the main menu and in-game pause menu but put it in the game settings menu so I can not have a separate input menu for it.

>>507718218>In a fun, fantastical way, but still, war. But now these games are made with balance in mind.is this a joke?war isn't a thing without balance at least in the actual sense, obviously a real war can last centuries or as short as a few hoursbut that's not what people mean when they say warwar is just a game with rules where if you overplay your hand, other players butt in to tell you to stop bullying the little guysso balance is the only way because otherwise it's not fun or even war if you can just steamroll the other guy
>>507718436>>507717643Honestly convinced me that 3rd game shouldnt be a VR only game like I was going to make it be.

>>507718653Those are all technically different things, but they're talking of recently popular games like Project Zomboid, Satisfactory, Factorio, Valheim, Palworld, etc. 4x is those things, but it's really niche. Kenshi is a sandbox RPG.

Pace is going well, made some wacky posters for the background and did a dream sequence type thing. Really wish I knew how to make something that has a constantly shifting color, sort of like what Hotline Miami has for the ground outside of buildings.
>>507720969dont take his advice literally hes kind of retarded. its fine to see his data and draw your own conclusions. platformers can work if you make one that is unique and good enough, and can market it. I will prove it..
>>507720969This is in the context of small indie devs primarily targeting a Steam release. The rules are different if you have millions of dollars to jblow.
>>507719926>uses balatro, an example of good scoping and good use of effects based on the developer's own life experience>to suggest AI would be good in the same situationlol no
>>507716873aqua teen hunger force? fuckin based if so, if i wasn't an asocial autist i'd ask if you wanna watch together some time...
>weather effects>not progress
>>507718663I don't think this is a good idea. Key rebinding's are better on a separate page as they take up way too much space. It currently looks bad and I don't see a particularly easy way to get everything to fit. You're going to either have to shrink everything, squeeze everything together (worst option), or add a very large scrolling table. I think that having a separate page is superior to all of these options.

>>507721324Nah, good progress turns others into crabs and schizos. I had a dude impersonate me for over a year because he couldn't handle it.
>>507721597that only happened because you stopped posting progress and we all know you gave up
>>507721102He actually kind of says this. He mentions there are multiple ways to stand out. But it usually requires being great at art, or gameplay. He's basically saying, if you're mediocre you'll be eaten alive. And he's right.
>>507721324whenever i post progress anons say it's AI and i should kill myself

I have come to the conclusion, that vague illusion I had since some years ago.Wasn't that videogames are the issue.The issue isn't videogames.The issue isn't that a videogame of 1980 last 5 minutes, but takes 6 months to master.The issue isn't that a JRPG takes 50 hours.The issue isn't waifu waifu pantsu harem porn BS.The issue isn't american ragebait.The issue isn't that videogames have no potential.Or goyslop.The issue is that they lack any deep meaning.They're empty mental calories for our souls.They have not relevance to our lifes.No deep teaching, no deep meaning.No big purpose to them.Just a waste of time.

Noticing a trend of former successful devs announcing sequels to their games, games where it's really just the same game again but better graphics and some new gameplay mechanics, games where the story isn't really all that deep in some. Some of these even made a massive success, so why do they do it? They want more money? Hobby? Doubtful when they make no other games and just remake nearly the same thing again.
cave story was FREE btw
>>507726336If you want a free version of my game, you can get it off a piracy site
>>507726215fixing past mistakes
>>507726336my game will be free too
>>507726418but would it be WORTH MY TIME?
>>507722131im hoping nortubel realizes this already and is just doing it more for experience or something.
>>507726418cute cat :3
>>507726407Dountful desu, then they could just keep updating the same game over and over lile Terraria has since 2011 or whatever
There is zero reason to give away your game for free. Pirates will do that for you.
>>507723770This is the quintessential seethe when you are jealous of someone's art. Not only is it extremely common but you could make fun of that anon for a lot and you chose the art, which looks decent.
>>507724291you can always make something that leads to community, cooperation, and getting to know other people. there are plenty of more meaningful multiplayer games you can make. I think it's really cool how people stream pogostuck and have their twitch id in their name, encourage each other and help each other beat different modes. they visit each others streams etc too. maybe there is something better you can think of

kindly hello sirs, for to having following an tutorial for the Unreal Video Game Engine but needfully I lost focus for to have train outside and I must watch, for to tutorial and finishing, but how to next make gaming?
if you pirate my game for free. i'll code it so it will swap the main character into a anthro fox girl
>>507724854comfy terrain still looks bit bland thoughhere's a (You) but i think the issue that most people posting progress have is that they just post a image with assumptions that the viewer may already know what changed or why it was significant if they even read the filename in this case at all, it's kinda the same as just dropping your game on steam with no marketing at all
