Post progress!
I'm posting in this one
*ahem*once again: FUCK the inner circlethank you for your attention
>>521223927Yeah, I'm thinking this is based
>>521223927anon give me 50 bucks and I'll let you in
>time to find a new circle >Circle Inner circle confirmed
How about a triangle?
so you guys are Max Payne fans or what?
>other thread is already posting cropped nonce pornfuck sake. what is wrong with this shithole
Posting in the non illegal thread
>hey guys we're just gonna spam cheese pizza on every single fygoon thread to sink this community even deeper. We're totally not obsessed or anything
>>521229574Maybe fygoon should stop making threads then.
>>521229714>Wahhhhhh!!! That silly green dragon guy made a thread before me so I can't spam my ERP!>I know, I will spam illegal material that can imprison me and put me on a list! That'll show that fagoon!Obsessed.
>>521229950Hey, I ain't the one posting it. I'm just saying maybe if he hates it so much he should shut the fuck up for once in his attentionwhore life and solve the problem he has the means to solve.
I like this thread better. The other one is gross.
>>521230296>>Drastic times require drastic measures.>"Drastic measures" is posting illegal shitYour mental retardation never ceases to amaze me.
>>521230827mad to think i called him a faget
am i supposed to be on fagoon side now just because he is falseflagging for the 999th time?
>>521231225You're making a mountain out of a molehill. "Oh no, that dastardly Fygoon made a new thread and posted his game again! I'm going to spam illegal crap to get his thread deleted because I hate him so much and I have nothing to my name that going to prison would be a better alternative than seeing that darn dragon!"Grow up.
Is there a scientific reason as to why /agdg/ gets worse every single year
>>521231453yes actually, pic related
>>521231453Yes, google carcinisation.
>>521231453Yes and it's related to the image on the vandalized OP
>>521231453Lord of the Rings: magic disappears over time
>>521232150A video of gameplay?
>>521232469Wrong thread fagoon
I'm posting in the non-fagoon thread because fuck that guy
Can anyone explain the point of this? Why would I want to add player slots to my game. For your family members to play on the same console? That doesn't happy anymore, right
>>521234110It does, poor families will often share a console and get more hours per game than well off families. It's worth adding if you're making a family safe game but if you're putting gore and sex in then skip it because that's probably an adult only thing.
>>521234110So that the same player can play the same game a different way.
>>521234340Yeah I figured if it's not a family game that I won't need it but anon brought up a good point:>>521234392Thanks anon, I'll have to really consider that. I'd like to re-invent the wheel here a bit so I don't like such a blatant UI. Maybe a parallel universe machine. Yeah! I'm a genius!
He admits it.
>>521235041>Maybe a parallel universe machine. Yeah! I'm a genius!Careful with making useful systems diegetic. The main menu of a video game is usually separated clearly from its running suspension of disbelief.I'll then ask why your game doesn't say "Interuniversal Waveform Alignment" instead of "VSync".
>>521235287what game?
>>521235287He can use as much sarcasm as he likes but his next game is literally a repeat of Shi.There are no eye-catching setpieces that tell you that THIS is the next big thing. Especially when the enemies in the trailers are such chuds.
>>521235641Salaryman Shi

>>521235287why do indie games want so much to remake Mario 1-3 when that shit is like trying to make a new SF2?The current meta of platformers are metroidvanias and parkour platformers or I wanna be the guy kazzo mario trash.Not mario 3.
>>521236250>the remaining posters are delusional retards with rotten brainsBe kinder to yourself
>>521235501I might do that, but not annoying, it will still say vsync but also explain what it is in a human way.
>>521231453Trainwiz left and the dam of shit garbage broke and flooded the peaceful dev valley
>>521236502>why would you want to make a game you want to make instead of making what's trendyngmi
>>521237103he made the game he wanted to make, but what if nobody else wanna play that?What if your dream is a vegan hamburger with vegan mean and beans and cockroach milk because is healthier, but nobody wants that beside you?
>>521236250Your logic is undeniable. Let us review it together.>the smart posters realized gamedev is a waste of time and went on to go do something else with their livesThe smart posters left, and anyone not smart is here. Got it.>the remaining posters are delusional retards with rotten brainsSo me and you are both delusional retards with rotten brains, because were are both here.>making a (good) game takes a lot of time and effort, and for very little reward, often zero money and excessively negative reviewsNo arguments here. It's funny people here constantly complain about the work they choose to do. Did anyone here know what they were signing up for when they started?>only unemployed degenerates and autistic third worlders have stuck around ever since valve changed the promotional algorithm and forced indie devs to actually market their games individually instead of just relying on steam to give them all the free promotion they neededSo everyone who is here is an unemployed degenerate, or living in a third world country. Interestingly enough, you are here making posts.>gamedev is a hobby for strange isolated autistic degenerates, and a business for corportate psychopaths, hence the namefag discord freaks, or the skinnerbox dopamine slop marketing enthusiast freaksSchizo babble, but sure.>nobody inbetween these categories sticks aroundNobody her is not in the above categories.So this poster is a isolated autistic degenerate, delusional retard with a rotten brain, who is unemployed, living in a third world country, namefags from discord, and only produces dopamine skinnerbox slop games for the highest chance of success in marketing.
>>521237368So what?
>>521237748>because we* are both here>Nobody here* is not in the above categories.Please kindly disregard the fact that I suck cocks.
>>521237748>It's funny people here constantly complain about the work they choose to do.We chose this for the fruits of our labor, not for the work itself.J O B B YOBBY
>>521237998You don't have unlimited resources, you shoould pick wisely what ideas have better potential than others.
>>521237039It's been a year, move on.
>the smart posters left to wageslave for the next 40 yearsI'm happy being stupid for once.
>>521238163wait so am I the only one here who enjoys making games?
>>521231453https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittificationbut replace any reference with profits / money to attention
>>521238236yeah, I'm only making mine because no one else would, I'm very angry all the time.
I've wanted to make a very small scale text based rpg as a side project for a while. I'm aware of both Twine and Ren'py being incredibly beginner friendly but how often 99.99% of games made with either look exactly the same (I know you can go out of your way to adjust general ui and people just don't bother) really bothers me. Am I better off attempting to learn Unity/Godot rather than these more focused tools when my main issue is basically just gui autism?
>>521238236Learning, ideaguying, and prototyping can be fun. Production work on a high quality game that people actually want to play is not inherently fun. It's hard work. If you're still having fun, that just means you're not yet working hard enough on something complex enough.
>>521237748you are correct>>521236538no
>>521238172Potential for what
>being forced to become mentally stronger than 99.9% of the human population is not a worth reward on itselfI am forver gratefull to gamedev because It forced me to actually learn coding and make music and make 3D animation and master 2D anime illustration and write poetrhy.
>>521238205requesting an edit with this but it's agdg-tan fondling the agdg logo
I have half way done with the main mechanic I am working on. Rest of the month to go.
>>521238623to get some reward from all that effort.Otherwise it will be extremelly dissapointing and you will burn out.
>>521238545tsar bomba trvke
System exhibits evolution over time now that mouths have been added. I didn't even program in explicit mutation yet, the rules of the synthetic chemistry are emergent on their own.
>>521238776Isn't doing what you want to do rewarding?
>>521238525You might be better off learning webdev basics so that you have access to all the nice CSS GUI templates.
>>521238947That only mentally works for the first 10-14 years of gamedev.
>>521239057Why?
>>521239057>That only mentally works for the first 10-14 years of gamedev.
>>521239198You get older so you need to feel you have not wasted your life doing something that can be considered a waste of time.
>>521239198you eventually need to make money or you won't be able to dev any morego look at what happens to part time devs, their games suck, they don't have fun making them, and nobody plays themgamedev is a full time pursuit
>>521239474What if you don't need to make money
>>521239654you eventually will
The joy of creation is it's own reward
>>521239965What if you don't
would you still make games if you were homeless living on the streets
>>521239474No it's not lmao.I've made more money with my career jobs for less work while still always having hours of free time to dev.
>>521240351your game isn't as good as it could be
>>521240217Of course.
>>521240425>>521240351nevermind gamedev is a viable hobby if you don't care about making good gamesi bet this video is porn to you people huhhttps://youtu.be/hKGzSYXPQwY
>>521240217It's basically impossible for me to become homeless, the amount of things that would have to happen for that to happen is like .001% or less.
I still don't get it so I will just keep making the game I want to make.
Spending all day watching devlogs, posting on 4chins, and daydreaming about what you would say for your game of the year award acceptance speech does not count as making a game.
>>521240597that's not what i asked
>>521240425My game isn't finished so yeah? I've already devv'd for like 8 hours today or more, I'm not even sure at this point since I woke up at 2am and devv'd inbetween other things like work and showering/chores/watching tv.
>>521240594I assure you my game is much higher quality than yours, and like 90% of the devs here.>>521240813The answer is no, because if I were to be homeless I'd clearly have gone mentally insane because otherwise it's impossible.
>>521240802good image, saved
>>521240802That's weirdly specific, Anon. Is there something you want to share with the class?
>>521240217I wouldn't have computer.or powerplug for my keyboard and mouse.
>>521240217Yes but how?
I gotta be the most retarded delusional moron here lmao. Yeah, the fuckin color of the background is why people won't play my game, yeah everything surely will change when that is fixed LMFAO.
>>521236250>delusional retards with rotten brains
>>521241536None of that is needed. Video games are just algorithms.
>>521241054I just picked some random, generic timewasters that anons here commonly talk about. I'll admit that I did waste a good chunk of time today ideaguying about how I would go about writing my own beginner "intro into gamedev" tutorial series that I'll never make.
Thoughts on wageing for minimum wage instead of gamedevving?
>>521240802well, if I don't plan what I'm gonna say ahead of time then I'll probably fumble or stutter.I need at least one hour each day to practice my acceptance speech.Sure, it gets into dev time and my game will take even longer to finish... But, think of how great my speech will be thanks to all that extra practice.
>>521242102Why would there be a color on the background? Sounds basic as fuck and shitty.
How much game should you have before you make your Steam page?
>>521243012if you have a car, get a job delivering pizzas, especially if you're in a decently populated area.Don't work at a chain store like Dominos or whatever, do a local place that's a little bit more expensive than other pizza places in your areaThen try and work on weekends as much as possible. I make around $150-200 on Friday nights, and around $400 throughout the week just on tips. It's not bad considering I only do that for 20 hours each week, so it's not even close to full time.
>>521243948100 USD worth of game
>>521238205Lel when you look at my options it's basically something like that. I'll take my chances at gamedev.>>521238947Never having to wage would be rewarding, having my game instantly exist and belong to me is rewarding, having to put all this effort in to make it and it looks nowhere near as good as I want it to be nor plays anywhere as good as I want it to play is not rewarding for the most part.
yatpig trailer! https://streamable.com/k9bc9agonna send this out to publishers with a build of my gamepretty sure if i tried a kickstarter it'd fail being another pixel platformer and all
got my runtime texture baking system up and running. now my objects only need a mesh and a normal map, all the texture pbr material maps are generated on the fly. although i need to figure out how to properly do this asyncronously still>vid related
>>521243948at least 7
Unrelated to Nortubel and Hirdrih but I released a Doom map.My sixth one so far.https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/152389
>>521242846Kek, I may have actually imagined something like that in the past.>>521243012You'll be waging until retirement age in all likelihood. At that low of a wage I'd just keep devving. Now if I was making Pogo levels of money I'd abandon gamedev for a few years to improve my skills in art while also gaming much more. That existential crisis of having to make it before 50 is all but gone with a wage like that.>>521244157But what if you end up having to deliver to some dangerous neighborhood or place with pitbulls?
>>521242345>me in the center back
>>521244309nice beater
>>521243012>>521244636>At that low of a wage I'd just keep devving.Keep devving and waging is what I should have said. Though I'm a neet right now.
There's literally nothing wrong with waging.
>>521223468saying goodbye to old modelalso holy shit this is taking me so long im not gonna have new content for next demo day everything is FUCKED
>>521245159true>>521243012smart, gamedev is a hobby for weird peopledon't bother doing it for money
>>521244287based. but you should put the name at the end of the trailer too.what do you want from a publisher though?
Gamedev is the jobby of choice for the modern renaissance man.
>>521245978It requires you to be good in nearly all fields of art so I guess, yeah.
>>521245425She is beautiful. If I offered you $50k in exchange for a 7% cut of your games revenue, would you take the deal?
>>521245425very cute
>>521246389bro you aint got any money
>>521244636>But what if you end up having to deliver to some dangerous neighborhood or place with pitbulls?Pick a place in a good area. The usual suspects don't tip anyway, so you'd be wasting your time working in a ghetto area.Also skip college towns and places with old people as populations.Ideal area for pizza is a white middle class area with lots of stay at home moms, and grandma's who babysit their grandkids.My best tips are on Friday nights from drunk wine aunts. One lady gives me $20 each time I deliver to her. It's always cool cus she looks like pic rel and she calls me "hun" or "sweetie"basically, if you live in an area where the middle aged women look like this lady, then you'll get good tips.If you don't, then it's really hit or miss (I also delivered pizza during college and didn't make that much money)
alright which one of u fucks reported my trailer
Bad news. Progress has been non-existent for the past two weeks (0-2hrs per day). I've been depressed and distracted. My sleep schedule has been all over the place, and I feel tired all the time. Aiming for at least 6 hours of gamedev time today. 8 if I can manage it. I have to keep this consistent to even have a chance at being a yes-dev. Will update when I finish. Wish me luck frens.WAGMI neet bros.
>>521245019yeah the first set of car parts are going to be scrappy. your gonna start with a badlands beater, then build it up as you progress. she still hauls ass tho
>drop $10k on options>lose most of it, get mad>try to get an artist>$1000 feels too pricey>see $370 drawing tablet, but know it's usually several tens cheaper frequently>don't want to pay for full price>see game I'm interested in $14.99>see it's frequently 80% off>still don't buy when it's 80% off>see food item but it's $1 more expensive>feels too priceyWhy am I like this?
>>521248043>0-2 hours>non existenttfw i was getting an average over 2 hours daily for several weeks this year until just a few weeks ago. it felt nice to me but i still wanted more, never really increased, 2-3 hours seems to be about my limit. it's all over the place now, sleep schedule is messed up as well. got like 2 hours of sleep.
>>521244309
>>521248043I spent 12 hours a day for 3 days making a game that has no real value to me or anyone else. So I think your time was better spent.
How is there two concurrent Aggy threads. Will they continue until both reach post limit?
>>521249691We are just so awesome that we can keep two concurrent threads up. We could have done this the whole time, we've just never tried.
i was about to post progress but my schizo just posted
>>521249905hey daddy mcCutie pants.
>>521249691This is the true thread, the other one is gonna get banned.
>>521250408in that case,With the mouth node, mutation for more connected nodes in offspring, and a little optimizing the graphs now exhibit a trend in complexity increasing (something like evolution)
God damnit, why are there two threads and why are both of them being used.
>>521251384This is just the new normal.
>>521251384>>521251509The next OP gonna have to list>Previous thread(s):
But really though, Cliax = Shi. Anons in general just don’t know how to make spectacular trailers aside from Ghost Hand.Give me a killer guitar like Hades did and the customer will be in the mood.
>>521230973Pogo's twin brother, Ogop. A gamedev neet savant who's already made a massively succesful indie game without so much as a degree in programming or even a single book on programming read.>>521248220Kek'd
Look here chump, if I knew what was "wrong" with my game, I woulda fixed it already.
>>521252243game bad
>>521251216What's the end game?
Bro's I really have to take a shid, how am I supposed to dev if I need to take a shid? But parent's have company over and I don't want to deal with that. Going to the bathroom will definitely reveal I'm here. Pls aggy help me, I don't think focusing on devving is going to help me right now, I usually squirm a lot when devving on difficult code.
>>521251919>spectacularbut my game is supposed to be relaxing
>>521252629>doesn't have a shidding cupngmi
>>521252679Your customer is an ADHD freak after the combination of Balatro + Vampire Survivors. You need to dangle keys in front of them with “hype” moments.
>>521251919>But really though, Cliax = Shiwhat does that even mean dude
>>521253361My customer is 30-50 year old women.
>sign up for the indie E3 thing or whatever>silence for weeks>finally get a reply back>nvm its them trying to sell me on a course or something, desperately as theyve emailed me 3 times todayHumiliation ritual? Is that how you describe this unending hell? No, marketing isn't a ritual as that implies an ending.
>>521248356Better buy now before prices increase by 145%.
bump
>>521255247Maybe bump the thread but responding to something meanful.>>521254452Only for chinese goods.
How come no one has ever made a multiplayer hitman style game? Why is everyone making single-player slop
>>521255983For some reason kids are scared of networking when making games even though it's easy as shit.
>>521255983the boat
>>521256052I mean, I did networking and I can't write a line of C# to save my future gf that I will get after my game is done... s life. But I didn't think it was that easy, you basically have to 10x the complexity of every system you're building.
>>521255983https://store.steampowered.com/app/820520/Deceive_Inc/
>>521255983spy party
>>521255983that is literally what the choo choo charles dev is making now
>>521256257Is it good? I played a freeweekend and did the hidden in plain sight type game, was not hitman at all but maybe I presses a wrong button
>>521256325No?he's making a prison escape VS police party game. how is that hitman?
>>521256319€25 wowIt's also not hitman. Just hiddeninplainsight again.>>521256325What, I'm starting to think you guys have never played hitman
>>521256663>What, I'm starting to think you guys have never played hitmanI never said that I have.
>>521256748
>>521242102Yes, unironically. I get triple the likes on Xitter whenever I use light and saturated backgrounds over dark ones.
>>521253402Rooms with a singular enemy in them are unflattering and the trailers for both games have just that. The hedgehog in the desert being a big example of this.We're in an era where games have 30 guys in 1 room so customers think that's cool and rooms with 3 guys are uncool.
>>521257032>backgroundsFor what? graphics or the actual game world
>>521257123>nitpick one shot out of an entire trailerSo you're retarded then
>>521256231It's one of the easiest things in our game.
>>521256052No it's not
>>521257418Are you using s&box or roblox or something like that?
>>521257457Our entire game is online server based with user accounts and the networking is literally cake.
>>521257556godot
>>521257575Good for you, doesn't mean it's easy
>>521258012I mean, it literally is for us. Sorry you suck at it?
>>521258139You lost all your credibility in the matter when you said your game is networked. You're clearly saying it's easy to brag not because it's an objective view on the matter.
>>521258313NTA, but networking is reasonably easy if you're a trained software engineer. It's one of the main things they teach you. Stay in school, kids.
>>521258313speaking of which, a just werks networking backend released, so it COULD be as easy as anon claimshttps://spacetimedb.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzDnA_EVhTU
>>521258648>if you're a trained software engineer.Case in point
>>521252417something along the lines of a puzzle where you make an organism to fit a niche that already exists in an unbalanced ecosystem. Here I've added aggressive aging out, and a flow factor to space out graphs. The mutation rate is set to .05, and finds interesting solutions to the other graph's setup.
>>521258648>CS>networking one of the main thingsokay anon relax
>>521237368if the internet has shown anything its that no matter how retarded your interest theres at least some community for it
>networking is easy!>just check out MY multiplayer pong game
>>521258139I build a networked inventory from the ground up, actually two one server authoritative and one client, it was not easy for me (avg retard who can't write a single line of lua) splitting, stacks, dropping, pickup, chests inv, scene transitions, persistent saving, dropping bags with stuff inside and having other players pick it up, and then I realized I forgot to test with two devices, so when I thought it was working perfectly It was broken for everyone else.If you think it's cake your systems probably are not that complex. Or you are a cracked dev, in which case good for you brother
>>521258313I mean, why would doing what I am saying easily lose my credibility? I literally did it.>>521258789Imagine not being trained to write code and trying to talk about writing code. Zoomers are so fucking stupid.>>521259028I mean our system does the same things and the hard part is literally those exact same scenarios even without networking. Also I'm not sure what system you're using but in godot you can literally launch multiple debug windows to easily test networking. But yeah second or third machines close by is nice or a second dev whos not local at all.
>>521258674There are a bunch of these. Here's some others.https://rivet.gg/https://www.planetaryprocessing.io/https://hathora.dev/
I bet this is grassnigger sniffs his own farts again, you can smell his arrogance
>>521259345Because you have a horse on the race, you're not impartial. I don't believe a word you say.
>>521258674I'm pretty sure that's not a networking backend. It's an inmemory database that runs snippets of wasm for physics calcs.
>>521259834Ask him for the title of his """game""". That'll scare him off.
>>521260029...what race?
>>521260349https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/have-a-horse-in-the-race
Networking is easy in Godot btw
>>521260429anon we're just yelling at each other on an anonymous anime imageboard, there's no benefit to me telling people they're retarded and something isn't difficult.
>he can't help but be autistic in both threadsthat's embarrassing, if you knew what that was
>>521260710You can't fool me
>>521261092Of course not, you're retarded and that's a waste of my time and effort to try and fool you.
it's over
>>521260534Post networked 3D Godot Game?
>>521261214Why 3D?
Imagine trying to argue about something easily googleable with a billion tutorials, instructions, and documentations for.Zoomers really can't do shit lmao.
>>521261214>>521261752godot 5 will fix that
>>521261930Fix what?
>>521261214NTA, but I can post mine. 3D or 2D doesn't matter if you use the built-in spawner+synchronizer. It's exactly the same.
>>521263261so this is the power of godot

>>521257280Might I interest you with 1 Room, TWO guys?These characters have guns so there should be twice as many grunts compared to Kalemonvo.
Making a clubhouse-like, yay or nay?Would anyone buy such a game off of steam for $5 or is it futile
>>521263474I think when people say hard they mean the rest of the game not the networking implementation. This shit >>521259028
Any good indie game publishers, if any?
>>521264048Maybe they should learn how to communicate properly and not sound like retards then.
>>521264257>multiplayer is hard>whaaaat it's literally built in you dumb retardI mean
>>521238776you would have never made a game about digging a hole, schedule 1, undertale, amogus, shartdew valley or pseudoregalia, because none of them were released in genres that "sell"

>>521263958>>521265392I don't think it'll do well on Steam, since there are a billion different options for playing those games in the browser. You might want to consider other platforms like Discord Activities.

>>521264382what if there was a game where you controlled a first person and third person character at the same time, and it used tank controlsif this was in 2d it could also be a brandish-like mixed with a zelda-like, nobody who's focused on sales could achieve this level of creativity, this is why games need an idea guy
>>521272359uv mapping and texturing is too hard, and i would never use ai prompting for a game, other than that, the idea is solid
hi new to this board and thread and I hope this is the right place to ask & talk about making games:ik how to do basic game coding, very basic not anything big. however, i am really good at making plots and coming up with ideas a lot. and i had this idea running through my mind and now i really want to make it come alive. but the idea I have is about an indie eerie/psychological horror game, pixelated style where you play as a child, trying to solve the disappearance of some girls in town. there’ll be multiple endings as well. i want to make it a game where you’re in the mind and eyes of a child (what would a child really do?), struggling with grief, that leaves an impression, and will emotionally wreck you (somewhat). would anyone play a game like that? I wanna find people that want to contribute with it too and help or at least run it more by someone, but idk where to find such people
>indie pixel horror
i want to make a feminist game but i don't have any feminist game ideas, the masculine status quo has consumed our ability to imagine new things
>>521261156Showing your true colors now
>>521273002this is the right place, but your idea just sounds like horror for horror's sake
>>521272738>Date March 22nd, 2015Oh nonono aggysisters... I thought we were onto something...
>>521271542Do you have to do all your testing through steam then?Doesn't that get tiresome or is your game in a stage where everything is mostly network testing?
>>521275046ive always had an interest by these niche games, its somewhat similar to a game called bad parenting and maybe omori in how the game handles grief. I already have possible game mechanics down
>>521238172trve>>521238545also trve
>>521275291>Doesn't that get tiresome or is your game in a stage where everything is mostly network testing?No. It's literally built into godot, you just select what you need in the debug options for launch.
>>521255641>tfw the drawing tablet is chinese madealready bought it sometime back, on sale of course

>>521277128i here the non wacom ones occasionally end up shocking the user, idk why sounds like sometimes cheaply made in it. still bought it tho>>521263770looks like Alchemikal x Deadwire
>>521277715Mine has never shocked me, but I also never use it as I thought I'd need/want it for sculpting but I'm fine with a mouse.
>>521273719make the protag a strong (also hot but not super sexualized) female and put twinks and twunks in your game that are possibly romanceable. maybe put some horror elements because women running from and overcoming scary hulking monsters (men) is read as inherently feministbingo your game is like reading Beauvoir
>>521278525That's because you're autistic
>>521275291I'm actually on Godot 3.5, which I believe doesn't have >>521276801But either case, you can just open up the project manager window and "Run" games from thereDebugging godotsteam is more complicated, though, since you'll need a steam account for each player you want to test with. You'll likely need two computers (I have a laptop), another steam account, a store page for your game, and the ability to add playtesters via steam keys.Then, you use something like SyncThing to keep the projects synced as you make changes on your main computer (shouts out to ivy sly)It's a pain in the ass but worth it. Godotsteam allows you to totally avoid port forwarding or anything
>>521278957>Then, you use something like SyncThing to keep the projects synced as you make changes on your main computer (shouts out to ivy sly)...why not just have a git? Yeah multiple system testing can be annoying, but it's also like extremely easy and basic to setup. I have 3 different systems I test on and both windows 10 and 11 just for myself and my partner has 2 machines as well.
>>521278957>allows you to totally avoid port forwarding or anythingnta but just how much of the code just uses steams stuff instead of godot's special code for this?t. using unity.
>>521223468Eldon Betz, v/3 expo?
>>521279587Because git requires you to add->commit->push every single time whereas syncthing allows for synchronous changes, you just refresh your main ide (keeping the other build in project manager mode so you're not editing code) and it immediately makes the changes>>521279650Godot steam essentially wrapperizes the events from the steam api (connected to game, get game list, receive friend invite, connect to game etc.) into godot signals. You then have a working gd script file that reads all the signals and from there you can do what you want with them.In my case, I then have a network controller that is basically a signal bible that actually communicates with the game, so:Steam API -> steam.gd (godotsteam) -> network.gd -> actual game stateYou can skip the network.gd part but I've found the steam.gd a relatively complicated layer that shouldn't get mixed up with your actual game logic that much.This is all to say that you want a P2P or a player-"hosted" game, like flyknight amongus or shrimp game etc.If you want a dedicated server for say, an MMO or some persistent server with a lobby system like a .io game, I wouldn't bother with godotsteam. Just use godot's out of the box shit and connect to a raw IP that's port forwarded (or reverse proxied if it's hosted on a virtual machine like it should be when you're in production mode).I've had quite a bit of experience doing client-server-network design in GMS2 and Godot at this point. If any well-intentioned anons wanna ask me specific questions, you can follow the d*scord link here: https://gotad.io/ or https://egg-drop.io (both are offline rn) and dm the dev.>>521231453Most of the good devs didn't give up because it's hard to make it or anything, they just migrated to various discords where people are generally more less fried and more talented.
no progress, just refactor and cleanup
>>521278957>Debugging godotsteam is more complicated, thoughyeah that's what I was talking about. Thanks for the info though, I've been studying netcode for a while and had been asking myself "how does shripdev do it?"good to know you're also using steamworks API through godotsteam pluginAnyways glad I caught you, can't wait for your game bro
>>521273002Learn RPGMaker.
>>521280901i see, main goal for me is player hosted server where one guy is the host. not sure if that doesn't work with making a server list so to speak. though i'm using unity
>>521273002Can you draw? Can you write? Can you compose music, or at least have a good ear for choosing stock music? If you can actually do any of that shit, you'll have coders here tripping over each other to try to work with you.If you can't do any of that, then I'm just stealing your idea and making it by myself.
>>521282968I know how to do art, and naturally I am a writer. I use FL studio for composing, just the actual execution of the game not so much
>>521263770you're badly in need of some post-processing
is there any reason not to save the game state at exiting? I kind of fucked around and save on every single action it's stupid but works so well
>>521285425>I kind of fucked around and save on every single actiondo you use a hard disc at all or just solid state/flash memory? I imagine people on a classic hard disc or who just have the game installed on one will have a hell of a time with that
Not making as much progress as I'd want, but I added this 12 sided dice you can buy in the shop.
>>521280956I thought this was fallout from the thumbnail
>>521285425If you're saving a couple bytes on any given frame it works well. But if you're not careful with your data structures it can very quickly get to a point the game starts visibly stuttering whenever something is saved.
>>521285425great way for players to soft-lock their saves.hope you have good mitigations for this
>>521285425That's retarded. You're retarded.
>>521286414definitely took some inspiration (aesthetic), but more action-y
>>521286986add a hacking minigame
>>521286087Make the die 3d, it would be much more satisfying. I know that's a swift kick in the testicles to hear maybe but I promise you it's the truth. A lot of what's on screen would be improved by being 3d actually, and not hard to model. Consider it.
>>521286986Haven't you posted this same "progress" video in the last 3 threads?
>>521287187no, that particular one is just reply to the guy asking the relation with fallout, in all previous thread there has been more progress every times, don't be meanthis thread, i was just saying that there's no progress as im doing refactoring
>>521286986I'm so tired of rolling granting complete immunity to attacks that absolutely should hit.
>>521287116I'd tried to do a psedo-3d effect for the dice, but it was not working like I'd hope. Most likely too locked in now.
>>521286986Oh it's just another """hack n slash""" like hades, oh well.
>>521287531my game doesnt have immunity for dashing, the dashing is just very fast so looks like that, but if you dash into enemy attack, u will get hit

You wouldn't forget to feed your pet homunculus would you, AGDG?
So I was contacted by my in laws out of the blue recently and they tell me they want to make a game. They knew I was a proficient coder despite being in IT, not software development. So here I am with my knowledge base of C++, C#, Gdscript and you know what engine we've settled on?>Rpg Maker MZ I am fine with the choice I guess. I dont want to be a snob about what boils down to a set of tools. That plus I've seen some crazy shit put out from it as well. They're lucky I just picked up Javascript right before too.Anyways, they want to make some vanity project and that's fine too. I truly don't care. You know why? For the most part they literally feed me the assets as fast as it takes me to ask. Can't be happier working on this in that sense. Truth be told, I've been in several game dev groups and it's always felt like pulling teeth just trying to have any sort of coordination. I don't want to set a meeting to set a meeting to decide what color to shade a distant tree god damn it. If I gotta pull a Boxer from Animal Farm; an Atlas if you will, for these yuppy twats then that's I will do.Thanks for reading my blog.

>>521297159Happy for you, my man, but can't relate.My mom has been trying to get into OpenGL for the past year or two, and every time she calls me and asks me how to open file in C I wanna do a flip (she refuses to use C++ because it came after her time) (she had experience with assembly and C when she was young, and did some computer work before it was hip and cool and I existed). Her attention span wanes and she either makes stupid rookie "forgot to call malloc" mistake, or just straight up tries to offtopic the explanation. Like - she asked me why she needs to compile a shader, and when I try to explain that "it's like a CPU" the moment she hears the word "CPU" she starts telling me about how northbridge delivers data from ram to CPU and how it's extremely efficient or something. Sometimes I'm scared of calling her cuz I'm afraid she may ask me a technical question.

>>521312131sovl
>>521312706Yeah well the standard behavior in vector math is to check both x and y, not just skip "y" if x is true. I wasted 15 minutes on finding this. >>521312845Bro with your code (3, 3) < (-4, -4). You're comparing vectors directly, so it's assumed you compare the scalars, not their magnitudes. You wouldn't make an operator overload to check Vector.length() < Vector.length().
>>521313336>the standard behavior in vector mathThere is no "standard behavior", which is why we're even having this conversation.

As I've said>if I was retarded enough to overload operatorsEvery time you overload an operator you get seething users complaining about "but why is bitwise operator used for putting data on a stream waah waah". And they would be correct, this is not natural and not obvious. So is comparing vectors.Fuck it, wanna compare vectors? I'll compare memory adresses of where the class located. Enjoy.

>>521316534steam is a complete scam unless you take advantage of it's remote play features. if you're making a regular game with no online features then you're getting fucked.
what i notice about gamedev podcasts guests is that they make gamey games like the ones older generations would play. you never ever see people that make a killing off of games like REPO, totally accurate battlegrounds, or simulator games like schedule 1.
>>521316661The reviews are positive, but ultimately it's just another Vampire Survivors clone.
Why do retards look at the review count of games a few hours after release and compare it against the review count of games that have been out for months or years?
>>521316760is it safe to say people like that guy who obsess over sales and marketing research are never gonna make it? Or is that what it takes to make it?

>oy vey, goyim, don't care about sales! just accept that you get no money even though your game is actually better than tons of games that "made it" just because they were made by Jews so we artifically promote their games more so the stupid goyim buy their games instead of yours!
im delaying the release of my magnum opus until steam lowers the 30% cut to 10%
>>5213176380.1% conversion rate is HORRENDOUS, regardless of how long your game has been out
I have this anxiety that we only have like 5-10 years before AI reaches insane capabilities and the opportunity for small creators to succeed in any form of art will vanish forever. It’s like what happened with physics, nowadays any significant discovery can only happen within giant corporations. No one’s going to make a major breakthrough in a garage anymore.However it's still possible in gamedev, but I geel that it’s slipping away too.
Why does this retard think 1 review = 1 sale?
>>521317638Because they're manufacturing drama. It works, see?

>>521318247stop stopping at target position
>>521318247add recursion
>>521318361thx
>>521316279Meh, I come from a math and Mathlab environment. I mostly used C++ until Godot, where I just made my own vector classes and implemented how I expected them to work. If I wanted to compare magnitudes, I'd compare magnitudes, otherwise scalar seems like the normal choice for a 2D vector.Maybe I'm a bit biased for expecting this to be the default implementation, but I'm not the first one to be tripped over by this. https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/9284https://forum.godotengine.org/t/comparing-vectors/26704Anyway it seems like I stirred the horde. I'm sorry for daring to question the Godot implementation, please don't ban my Github, Twitter and Discord accounts from the Godot communities!
>>521317768Nepotism is a thing outside of jewisy circles.
https://youtu.be/-MH5OTWl3zA?si=zqqruJtYzsc4TPLH&t=354this is it bros. your game idea should be akin to legos, it all makes sense now. players want a sandbox to do stuff in, the less hardcoded events the better.
>>521319340>his column-major arrays are indexed from one and he thinks the only thing he's learned is supposed to be "the standard"Godot is C++ and follows C++ standards. The issue you linked even says that Godot treats a vector compare the same way std::vector does: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/lexicographical_compare
>>521320226The lexicographical standard is purely for comparing sequences (arrays), which is useless for 99% of cases when comparing Vector2's in a real use case. I get that under the hood the Vector2's implementation is a fixed size array of 2, which is why they went with it, but it'd be like returning Vector2.length() always 2 (instead of the magnitude) because Vector2 has 2 values.Anyway an odd choice for sure, but I wasted more time arguing with you guys than actually working around the problem so I'll stop here. I wonder if the implementation was actually the other way around, and I complained on why it's not like the C++ lexicographical_compare, if people here would have reacted the same, or actually agreed "yeah you're right anon it should have been the other way". It's weird that somehow everyone in the thread agrees that Godot has the perfectly correct implementation when it could have gone either way kinda like with little and big endians. Feels like engine tribalism.

Since Godot cultists are here anyway I might as well ask, should I store my level data in a Resource or JSON file? Did you meet any problems with either method down the road? Anything not so obvious I should be aware of?
>>521321821I'm the anon who said that from a pure-math perspective, there is no standard definition as to what a comparison between two vectors should result in. Godot chose one of the possible behaviors to go with, and it's not wrong. They could've also just chosen nothing and not implemented the comparison operators at all, and IMO, that would be better. It's your fault that you're too retarded to just read the docs and see what it does. Instead, you made some incorrect assumptions and then made a fool out of yourself.>>521322526https://forum.godotengine.org/t/how-to-load-and-save-things-with-godot-a-complete-tutorial-about-serialization/44515
>>521277868this is resident evil with romance, which is a good idea, but women in horror games have become a cliche in itself, especially considering nobody takes us seriously when we talk about men being scary unless there's another scapegoat to take the blame for itwhy do they call for our reflection only to have our digital representations live in fear? it's kind of a glitch of the masculine imagination that you don't notice at firstbut resident evil is actually good and it's where i got my ideas for implementing unique movement ideas

>>521322642>They could've also just chosen nothing and not implemented the comparison operators at all, and IMO, that would be better.Yes, not having it implemented would have been infinitely better than having it implemented the way it is right now. Its current implementation is technically useless for any Vector2D use case and practically outright detrimental. Had it not been there I would have known to just individually compare the scalars directly. Unity seems to have done it this way, I guess I chose my engine poorly.

I think we will get senior-level AI in less than a year to 3 years from now.They just need to build infrastructure for "AI time chamber", then lock them in there with iterative requirements until they learn to write maintainable code. Then a layman want to fix a bug or add a feature, whatever it is they would do it in seconds, not exaggerating.It's billion dollar industry so it's coming sooner or later.
>>521327027Sir this board is about video games
Kek Branno made 30k off of 30 reviews meanwhile ToK made 50k off of 150 reviews, and marmoreal made 1k off of 20 reviews. How does that make any sense at all? Is it really all just completely random?

>>521327937The stand review/sale ratio really doesn't apply to anything with less than a couple hundred reviews. And even then it's just a median but some game genres have more or less reviews on average than others.

>>521329096I don't know why we have to repeatedly explain this shit to you people. Fagoon is a ban evading. samefagging, avatarfagging, ai pedo posting faggot and if he starts a thread it's going to get nuked every single time when they ban his IP for a separate post.God you people are dumb.
>>521329678This is true. Pretty sure the games I see him shit on the most are the best looking games I see posted here lmao.>>521330497I was gonna say, I fucking shitpost 24/7 and it's always been on company time both pre WFH and obviously post.

>>521330993Literally got caught in the act and had his original posts banned at the same time. In case you're a newfag retard we're not talking about the dude with the 2d pokemon looking shit, we're tlaking about the 3D realism ones. It was a fagoon meltie after YTC got doxxed.
>>521330993Not that anon, but right around the time that /weg/ dev got doxxed, Fagoon went quiet for a couple of days and in his stead there was some guy posting his AI generated pedo pictures right around the same timezone, who coincidentally ban evaded after every ban just to keep replying in the thread to other people (the same way fagoon does). I guess it was a coincidence that he had his exact same posting habits, at the same time, and was never around when fagoon was posting, even though the guy is otherwise insufferably posting every 20 minutes when awake.And wow when 'goon started posting again, the guy mysteriously disappeared even though he used to make it a point to spam his images in the thread every day before.
>>521330993>>521329851>>521329474Why did all these posts get deleted at the same time?
>>521332203fagtroon banned again
>>521332203Man I wonder why, definitely isn't the autistic mutt
You know he's mad when he takes off his avatar for a while lmao.
Lmao fagoon literally caught in the act with "you have no proof" bullshit by getting banned immediately after is fucking hilarious
we did itwe wonvictory is ours
>>521332203Can't believe I was actually replying to him and he got exposed right after, KEK.
>>521332524Luckily he's so autistically obsessed with people and has such a distinct post writing it's always obvious it's him even without his avatarfagging.
>>521332203someone's been a naughty, naughty boy and got himself banned
>>521332729I mean his attempts become so transparent in a small community like this, especially when he posts so aggressively compared to others. It's not like /v/ where there's thousands of people up at the same time and could get away with it. I wish there was a /vg/ with thread IDs.
What does this say about society?
This is the part where he goes quiet for a bit, so he can return later and pretend he's shown up for the first time lmao.
So was fygoon the V3 doxxer
>>521333458You're bound to filter at least a good chunk of the players unless you go for the lowest common denominator. Then there's the autist who really liked your game.
remember when you guys were scared about Unity runtime fee? 90% of /agdg/ games can't even get over 5k sales kek

Threadly reminder that even gamedev success can be a trap.Imagine your game earns you 10 years of income. Would you quit your job and start making games full time? If so, you'd have fallen into the same trap I did.The only way full-time gamedev would be sustainable is if your games keep earning you at least a year of expenses for every year worked... until you're literally 75. Anything short of that and you'll eventually run out of money. And when you do, you'd have been 10-15-20 years out of the job market and good luck getting a job with an employment gap that big.When you run out of money, it can take as little as a couple of months for your life to be ruined. That's what happened to me. I found myself broke at 45 and no job for the past 15 years except making games. And I'm looking at 30 more years of having to survive. I can't get job interviews, I can't afford to keep working on games, and I'm too old to get into trades. My life is probably fucked because my first project earned me 10 years of income and I quit my job like a dumb ass.Anyway, the point of this is to warn you: DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOBS UNLESS YOU EARNED ENOUGH MONEY TO NEVER NEED A JOB AGAIN. If my warning saves even a couple of you, it's worth it.
Skill issue.
>>521336289Hi Eric, when are you launching your new game?
>>521335449It's not the runtime fee that bothered me, it's them retroactively changing the ToS for old users and old versions of Unity. If the jewery pushes them that far then there's absolutely no limits or morals to what they'll do.
>unity tried to jew me out of money>so I'm going to use Godot because Juan would NEVER try to jew me out of money (as well as making the "engine" (meme engine) worse so people give him money)look up W4 games and read the book "waiting for Godot".

>>521337941I dont need money, I need more time to develop my skills.
>>521338150frankly, (You) need money.
>>521337120Okay, you raise a fair idea>Pong's gameplay depends on the ball reaching the left and right sides of the screen>Nowadays screen resolutions are fuckall and they are even more different if you run the game windowed or you have a system taskbar taking space>A larger screen would mean that the ball takes more time to reach each player>You need to make the gameplay the same between different resolutionsThe "just restrict the resolution and make side art" really only works in retro / 2d games. and this gets worse in 3D games because you could restrict player movement but then they still are rendering stuff outside what would be the default player / render area, and side art (2D element) clashes harder with 3D elementsSo now that I answered your nothingburger bait "you think too big because you don't deserve good things" reply, where do we go?
>>521336289>45Did you also age like shit the same as notch?

I paid people to play my game and they still won't.
Sell. Your. House.
sasquatch B ased.
>>521338414It wasn't supposed to be bait. A rail shooter is a reasonably small game. People make them all the time for 48-72 hour game jams. As you point out yourself, 3D Pong has the exact same issues, and you'd know how to solve those issues if you just follow a few tutorials. Instead of asking stupid beginner questions before you even begin, you should Just Like Make Pong.>A larger screen would mean that the ball takes more time to reach each playerIf you're writing this, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how video games work. The ball does not move around in screen/pixel coordinate space. It moves around in a separate "world space". What you see on screen is a window that looks into that world. The size of that window does not affect what happens inside that world.

It moves around in a separate "world space". What you see on screen is a window that looks into that world. The size of that window does not affect what happens inside that world.I know, but a lot of game logic works directly and depending on the viewport / camera, the simplest of all, crosshairs as those are always dead center of screens. I think it's fair to say what I said for sake of simplicity.I'm thinking that the player position is just a point on the screen, after all, you do not leave the boundaries of the screen. Imagine Space Harrier, you always play that game with the same resolution / screen ratio / screen size. Harrier !!NEVER!! leaves the screen. Now, if you were to make an entirely new game (not just a remake) in modern systems and not a console or an arcade cabinet where screen sizes are always the same, how do you balance the game? How do you make sure it works in all systems equally?Is that even a concern? Should that be a concern for an indie game? Maybe just say "fuck it, play on an ultrawide if you want" and let players have fun? Make it an option so you can have The Intended tm and free form?

its slowly starting to resemble an actual car.>vid relatedall the texturing is generated at runtime and will be fully customizable by the player
I was trying to model something similar to a budget quake ranger but my texturing is garbage. I might as well model things like armor plates instead of trying to make boxy models look decent.I'm thinking it's time to stop making practice models and actually try to make an enemy for my game. Also I'm hiding the face fuck drawing that. I know the model in general is not good but is there something that looks particularly bad?

>>521341134You're still thinking about the world in terms of the screen, and that's wrong. Think about it in terms of a perspective camera and its field of view. As for aspect ratio, pick a common one like 16:9, assume a fixed height and scale width.

>>521341727use photos for your textures.the model looks very boxy as well, so you should push and pull the verts to exagerate the sihouette, especially around the waist and knees. why not add more verts? even a shitty engine like godot will easily render this, and you don't get any retro points if it looks shit.Also you should rig the model now if you haven't already.

How do I become good at making a fighting system I would like to make. I learned UE and C++, I know BPs, been studying it like a madman theoritically. Now I'm stuck in front of the editor not knowing what I need to do if I want to implement complex fighting systems. What's the next step? How do I get good at making fighting systems?

>>521353418I requested a refund after about 45 minutes. The concept is cool and I don't mind the old graphics, but this game becomes a 'party movement' simulator more than a healing simulator. Your AI party won't avoid telestrations at all and the UI makes it hard to know when you're healing an ally or damaging an enemy.I lost to the 2nd boss twice not because I oomed or got unlucky skills, but that the boss requires most of your actions to be focused on moving your party around the room to avoid his attacks. Not just you, mind you, your party.If you don't mind that or even enjoy commanding all your AI teammates in real-time, then this game could still be for you, but it's not for me. If/when they implement movement into the AI skillset of your team, then it'd be a cute $10 game. But right now it's far too technical like a Dark Souls but with poor movement ability.
>>521353737you quote the wrong one faggot, im the one giving advice
>>521349132>2D game goes 3D>shocker, its soul vanishes without a traceWhoa, who coulda seen that one coming?
>>521353783I got really weird vibes from a lot of those reviews. some of them literally said the game was bad and they didn't like it, but still gave it a positive review. Do steam normies also hugbox or were those discord trannies spamming positive reviews?
>>521351364In other words they're motivating you to be faster with the content updates. Working as intended.
why haven't you tapped into the non-white audience yet?made by 1 dev btw
>>521322164Not surprising yet some anons keep going into his threads despite seeing whats happened in the past.>>521353418Where are you getting these numbers from? He hasnt even hit $20k if we were using the average numbers.>>521353783>Your AI party won't avoid telestrationsWhat are telestrations?
>>521353692>more players than a 40 million dollar game
>>521354731Power fantasies are the real of the white man
>give people the ability to remove the one element that makes non-boss floors (80% of the game) engaging>they say the game is boring>they still complain about it in the reviewNever cater to retards
Tomorrow is a really big day for Eric. Let us send him our well wishes and positive energy
>>521354731>this game made 50 million dollars in 1 month Can you imagine just randomly becoming a millionaire overnight like that? One random streamer plays your game and boom, 100k sales. You're set for life, never have to worry about food or rent again, can buy your family whatever you want for Christmas. I bet you even walk differently on the street just from the sheer lack of stress or urgency in life. Ever notice how these things don't happen to people like you and me? I wonder how it feels like. I bet it feels nice, but I can't even imagine it.
>>521223468What is v3 and why am I supposed to be talking about it?
>>521354995i always found the "players will optimize the fun out of the game" quote puzzling, because why would someone choose to have less funbut the average person is really a mindless drone
>>521290190love you too bbygirlwe might start working on getting the game translated into a couple languages, starting with japanese of course
>>521355224>i always found the "players will optimize the fun out of the game" quote puzzling, because why would someone choose to have less funWe are problem solvers. "Solving the game", i..e making it easier and faster to solve is what rewards our neurons the most. If you allow near complete amount of optimization of the game's challenge then players will do it and then find themselves bored. (Same thing is happening with society by the way.)
>>521354731i noticed before this came out it was getting shilled on the front page for some reason. then on release it got its on background banner. something really doesnt add up.
>>521355112Surely the guy who made the game is a person like you and me?
>>521355046>the straight story>not eraserheadlame
>>521355112It's like winning the lottery or getting cancer - 100% luck.
>>521355224The players are retarded.
>>521354995>Never cater to retardsI'd say never give player choices without tradeoffs. That's why I don't have difficulty levels in my game. The player can choose to play in a way that's more or less difficult but they'll pay for it with more or less XP and better or worse gear.
>>521355860Nice Opera GX screenshot.Uh oh, hope you don't try to put salmonella into my salads over that comment.
>>521356940>*puts salmonella in your salads*
>>521248328That look sick as fuck m8
>>521353293it is aggydaggy
>>521356295If you're going to add difficulty levels, add them under the an "accessibility settings" menu so that you clearly communicate that you think the player is a drooling retard if they need to turn down the difficulty.
>>521354995I was baffled by Branno's decision to add the option. Rule #1 of gamedev is never listen to the players
>>521357402You lie.
Remember, anons control the thread.
>>521354995Kek at that complaint about>meta progression too specific>skills to broadEntitled
>>521358149Your parents always change the subject whenever your name is brought up, Doxroach.
>>521358149Edit this so YTC is Sonic, and the beam is a giant foot.
>>521358189>>521354995>"the spells you get are broad and highly specific">"it quickly becomes so complicated most of the time you just hit buttons and hope things work out."Genuinely asking for my future game, obviously I'm not getting in shouting matches with randos but if I get retarded reviews like this does it looks bad if I comment "skill issue"?
>>521355112>I bet you even walk differently on the street just from the sheer lack of stress or urgency in life.Kek I would not be surprised. Would improve my confidence so much I'd be able to hit on women much easier than my current near non existent attempts. I wish my games could sell this well, even just 1. Set for life and set my parents and siblings for life as well.
>>521358638A developer is an adult who spends all day tinkering on his craft.Replying to reviews breaks that image and now you're this guy.
>>521358638you hire someone else to post that for you. I'm willing to do it for free. Just call me
>>521358638Hope its an open comment thst allows others to reply and use an alt to say that. Ita probably what Id do.
I'm planning to release my game and never interact with anyone in my community.
>>521358932thisjust develop game and then advertise and release gameanything else is performative faggotry, including joining a "community"this place only gets a pass due to anonymity
>>521359247what is life without engaging in a lil bit of faggotry now and then
>>521354995Nore and more reason to just ignore the majority of player opinion unles sit aligns with your vision or unironically sounds like a good idea to you (not because a lot want it, but because you genuinely want it)

>>521359240cringethen again it's not like you'll ever have a community
>>521358932>Replying to reviews breaks that image and now you're this guy.Yep. I want to keep myself a good distance from my fanbase outside of conventions where I get to meet them and likely keep it professional but....I will accept numbers from cute fangirls who offer their number to me and those clearly hitting on me might result in me asking for a number but thebsigns must be giga obvious
How make interesting JRPG combat?
>>521359897Eric would never say something so rude
>>521359954I'll make sure to keep tabs on when you start grooming little girls, Yanderedev 2.0.
>>521357473I really don't like difficulty settings. In my first game I had only one difficulty, in my second game I gave player choices in how they want to play (high difficulty encounters offer high rewards and better gear). In those two games I had players complain the games are too difficult and unfair. In my third game I adjusted difficulty dynamically with some random spikes to shake things up. I had least complaints about difficulty in that 3rd game but I also had the lowest playtime so who the fuck knows.
>>521359957I've been trying to figure this out for like 10 months. I've settled on limb based systems, directional based systems, tactics or press turn are the only ones that pass. But you need to have resources to manage.I'm still not convinced my game is anything other than a bunch of assets I threw together yet
>>521359897The blond is exactly the kinda fangirl I need. They're so huge and she's so pretty too ;_; This dream of gamedev success feels so far away

going to college for the first time at 34...apparently the total work/study load is only 30-50 hours a week, so there's room for a job there and potentially devving, toomight take the next 4 years of getting my comp sci degree to also release a gayme...what think?
>>521360961I'm not a hypocrite, I don't want anyone to pirate my game so I will not pirate any software.
>>521361092game piracy is just free advertising
>>521360812none(0)
>>521361081yeah it's probably doable, I'd have done it if I wasn't such a pathetic loser who can't bring himself to do anything where there's a chance of failing.
>>521360625It was pretty cheap so it's okay. Maybe 200 bucks tops. Like I said it's a learning experience. I lost way way more money on my stocks than that so it's not a hard pill to swallow.
>>521361081I think going to school for comp sci in 2025 is a really bad idea.
>>521361081what do you need a degree for?
>>521360731Yup, she's cute but clearly overweight. She's okay for a neet or a truck driver but not for a hectomillionaire.
I made a discord but no one joined it thankfully! My game is a flop and no one is a fan of it.
>>521360804Reference I'm going for.Clouds are obviously moving way too fast and the ground texture is too big. Aside from that the alpha is the trickiest thing to work with, because it needs to be pretty transparent close to the camera (bottom of screen) and stop being transparent somewhere towards the middle-ish. Maybe a deeper blue sky color would also help?
>>521361420no-one cares lil bro, you're boring AF
>>521361092if you've pirated games in the past, you have no basis to complain about your own games being pirated.
>>521361562I have never pirated any software because i am white. (and also i don't know how to do it, haha).
>>521361530
>>521361081Good luck.

>>521361360>>521361373why not? I need a "real" job and programming is the route for me since it's all I know, and people around me are running into brick walls getting jobs without a degree, so that's where I'm at
>>521361562unless you buy one of these from every developer whose games you've pirated

>>521361841
>>521361420I don't know why the other anon is being mean but you might want to look into how skies work. It's very possible my phone is fucked up but from this it looks like it's going more saturated from the centre than from the top. Reflections also get a bit more diffused too. Salt flats have have ground that will absorb some light so think of the reflections like recycled light. If you recycle something, it ends up losing a bit of intensity in the process. James gurney and Marco Bucci got good videos on this stuff .Looks super neat though!
>>521345847there are a few talented ppl here. but alot of them have migrated to the discord>>521346841no, probably just moving toward the steam page +demo. dont plan to do anymore dd's>>521347137thats some hot ass bud
>>521361156i'd even post a build of my game on torrenting sites in the hopes of encouraging people to pirate it
>>521360804holy crap, looks like pure unfiltered shit. I hope you're not serious that this is "almost there". If I saw this image linked to your game I'd make sure to tell all my many friends not to buy it, ever. Or any other game you ever make.
>>521362164This webm did more to convince me that you're GMI than anything I've seen before, purely because of the sand going over the road and the physics on hitting that rock. Keep up the good work anon.

>>521360147Eric would never say something so ru-
>>521362164>there are a few talented ppl here. but alot of them have migrated to the discordTalent is one thing, but you need to put in 2000+ hours of work too and that's where a lot of these guys fail.Your game is somewhere between 1400-1800 hours of development by now? How close was I?
>>521362114The saturation might just be the 50% alpha + ground texture + sky texture messing things up around the center because I'm pretty sure it's the same sky color everywhere.I'm just assuming that my toaster would implode if I went for real reflection so I'm cheating it with one big planar reflection.
>>521362712more than just anglos use mate, esl. you're still really weird. do you ever do anything outside of this thread?
>>521362174put a cryptominer in the build so you at least earn some money from them. it's not like they can sue you or anything.
>>521362465Now that you mention it I suspect its him or the former McDonalds wagie guy who iirc quit for something else. The gamedev dream seems over for Marmo. The burden of developing more games now that Marmoreal is released into early access is lifted or so I believe. It may be early access but it likely feels similar to a non early access release.
>>521361801Tens of thousands of experienced developers are being laid off every year
>>521362836I'm white, just not a swarthy inbred colonising bastard like you. Your game looks like shit, cope about it.
>>521362721Id love to work at this office bros. Just making games and screaming this for fun
>>521362114Found Marco Bucci's video of skies, this is pretty useful.
>>521363037>I'm whiteNo you're not lol>your gameNot my game. I just felt like telling you that you're weird, because you ARE weird. Your hobby is sitting in the game dev thread on the chinese cartoon website and just screaming at anyone who posts anything that is even slightly productive, likely because it reminds you of your own failure to amount to anything.

>>521363237I know a lot of solo devs aren't super artistically inclined but learning things about painting are super helpful for 3D stuff too. I learned more from his videos than I did in art school.
Prediction: Since fagtroon's doxxing attempt failed, and his thread got deleted, he's going to bake a new "on topic" fygoon themed thread. Don't get too attached tho! It'll get deleted like every other one. Don't take the bait.

>>521364043And yet, Cris, what have you accomplished?

>>521364043>>521364295I don't think this is the real Cris.
>>521364173TLDR; Fagtroon googled the username of the guy that runs /v/3 and found a decade old picture of him and posted it into the last thread as an "epic own" and trying to get people to hop on the bandwagon. No one took the bait and it backfired, causing a multi-thread meltdown because he desperately wants people to hate /v/3 because they banned him.
>>521358149fuck off fygoon
>>521362503Big guy: over the road racing
>>521364418The funny thing is I remember seeing his game in one of the old /v/3 videos, I think it was 2017.
>>521364368>>none of them are good>gamer brain>femoid-on-dating-apps level of entitlement
>>521364368Youve been playing a game you didnt sign up forAnd you already lostNo refunds.
>>521364418Nice headcanon.
>>521364738Yeah he was in 2023 and I guess they banned him after that once they found out about his habits. The even funnier thing is, if you Google the name of the /v/3 organizer, a (still old) more recent picture is literally the first image result and he couldn't be bothered to use the low hanging fruit, instead opting to dig up a decade old YouTube video and screenshotting that.
>>521364418lol, he used to run this demented website dedicated to doxxing some random twitter artist who he had a falling out with. Combined with this it's utterly hilarious just how big his meltdown was when YTCdev got "doxxed" down to claiming he was going to destroy /agdg/ because of it.
>>521364368"A implies B" is not equivalent to "!A implies !B".

>>521367636No, he's just a fucking loser who works too slow
>>521367602Nice falseflag, Doxroach.
why is fygoon so utterly tilted by the doxGOD? Is it because his own pathetic attempts at doxes fail whereas the miles king dox was 1.) hilarious2.) BTFO miles so hard he left and NEVER came back3.) hilarious4.) widely celebrated in thread by real aggyers???? Thoughts?

>>521369875Doxroach is livid.You have no power here.
>If I call the person I tried to dox the "Doxroach" then people will forget about all that CP I spammed all over the thread for days on end
I'm confused. Who is the Doxroach. Is it fygoon or is it Betz? I genuinely can't tell.
>fagoon thread was deletedLMAOOOO told you
>>521370408>Doxroach is FUCKING PISSED!!!How does it feel to have no power here?>>521370535Neither.
>>521370535fygoon is the only person saying "doxroach". He had a huge meltie about his pedo buddy YTCdev getting doxxed, and has spent the last month ruminating on ways to take revenge on /agdg/. He tried to doxx some rando a few threads back and nobody cared, so he immediately went into the classic fygoon meltdown mode and started making up nonsense about his (fictional) enemies.
>>521369940He uses either a ban evasion website or just resets his router constantly. He has no life or actual friends, nor does he even work on his game. One of the few things he does for entertainment in his sad life is try to stir up fights on /v/, AGDG, and the Discord. The first time he got banned from the Discord was because he started complaining that literally no one was giving him attention. Eventually he's going to have to get a job flipping burgers or bagging groceries at Walmart if his parents get tired of him being a useless leech, and he won't have time left to samefag and play schizo in the threads.

I was in the car with my GF. We were driving back to her place to have sex after watching The Brutalist (2024). During part of our conversation, I said something rather obvious (I've forgotten exactly what), and she said, and I quote, "Who would have thunk it?". I immediately thought of LocalThunk and I just flipped out. I stopped the car and forced her to get out. I was gripping the steering wheel so tightly my large, muscular, hands started to bleed. My face was completely red. She (my girlfriend) looked really scared. Does this happen to anyone else?
>vandalized OPHow about no.
CP poster you know what to do
Can we get a non-fagtroon one?
So I'm nodevving today because I'm outside and touching grass and getting sunlight etc already hate it and bored so of course I brought headphones and mobile controller, and I picked a random game in my backlog, a gameboy homebrew game, and it's janky and obvs amateur, i literally hit Talk and if I'm off by a pixel I won't activate the chat or my hp will be 0.....but I won't die until I get hit again by the killing blow, etcBut I like this game, I'm cheesing through the bosses and for a Harvest Moon clone, I have to guess if plants are watered as there is no indicator if they were whatsoever, but it's fun, just goes to show if you focus on the mechanics, you can get away with alot Here's the gamehttps://spicyfuse.itch.io/runiestoryAnyways, I'm going back to touching grass and psuedodevving**that's when I play a game and nitpick everything I can do better

>>521372763Kinda, JRPGs are basically VNs that pretend to have gameplay. The generic ones, at least
>>521372763Most jrpgs have very generic stories that would barely fill 5 pages if written out so they need to pad it out with grinding bs for +8 hours

>>521370535Ugh Betz doxxed himself for attention to use the fygoon drama (we all hate fygoon because he's a shitter that's it) to promote /v/3He always pulls some bullshit psyop to fuck with the thread, not surprised he's working with fagtroon.
