Around 100,000 new users join Steam alone EACH DAY.About 700,000 new potential customers in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you get a visibility boost.Also, not only are you visible to players seeking new releases, but you're now part of the vast library that the entire massive audience explores. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and multiply it by the number of new players in that time who have joined (again, 100,000 users a day, 3,000,000 a month) and there's your ever-growing likelihood of "making it."Steam cut provides a massive storefront, community, and infrastructure, the freedom of being your own boss, setting your own benefits, your own retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales find new audiences over time, so even if you hit this "sustainable success" you'll get to see it grow for years to come.>He knows that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025Hahahahaha (Yes!)C A R E E RAREER
>>537311474Noooo, Eric. I just want this to remain a hobby.

>>537312709Uplifting speech.
>>537309713I think the main components are>multiple layers of deformation to make waves that don't obviously tile.>reflections. if you really want good looking water you need to pony up the performance cost for at least planar reflections. it's that or ray-tracing and RT runs worse and usually looks worse too because it uses lesser LODs or some objects are missing completely or the sample count is low so the reflections have to be blurred excessively. for today's hardware and if water is the star of the show, go planar imo.>refraction: unfortunately this is an effect we can't do properly without full path-tracing. games always refract according to surface normal but ignore the medium change, you know, that effect where everything underwater looks "short" when you look on from above. that would require too many pixels we don't have at the bottom of the screen. although I have considered a vertex shader solution where we deform the actual objects under or above water depending on whether the camera is above or below water. this effect would need to be added to every vertex shader in your game. one day I'll try it out.>caustics that are not just sharp highlights but the rest of the underwater area also needs to be proportionally darkened! this is something that webm related gets wrong. caustics without darkening = you're adding energy from nothing. when I made the webm I hadn't thought about this yet.>foam. in webm related foam only happens at the peaks of waves. many games put foam at the "edges" of water, using depth values to detect when objects are close to the water surface. imo this always looks horribly fake and I've seen plenty of water irl, paying close attention, that didn't seem to "interact" in this way at all. imo nobody will miss this aspect of foam in games. it's one of those cargo cult traditions now. you do the tutorial and end up using the effect in your game, never asking if it's actually a good idea.
>>537316669water doesn't move like that
>>537316896You don't move like that.

Why does the cat poster perma post on aggy instead of making xis game?
>the cat poster
>>537300389I don't feel this way at all. I love 4chan. 4chan has basically raised me and has been my parent for most of my life. Mind you I found this place because some guys were grooming me online, but I never delivered and was a total shota tease. Now I'm 23 and I still love this place.Yeah it's got pedos, lolifans, racists, nazis, jews, trannies, but that's just it. 4chan is an anti-social media. Anyone who survives this place is clearly a million times mentally stronger than the average person. Like a normie literally could not rage bait me.And when 4chan was down for a bit it was probably one of the worst moments of my life. It was like your parent was in a coma.You have two choices, leave this place and maybe develop some personal worth like a normie and be content with that while never actually being a real one cursed with the knowledge you know, or keep running through the shit until you gem so hard you gmi.You're not going to find what you're looking for from the normies or chads and stacies, cause most of them never even tried looking. You'll be back, cause we're here forever and the only real options are die in shit (rest in feces) or find the philosopher stone.

Your game becomes a cult classic in a foreign country and develops a dedicated fanbase there despite only seeing meager sales in your home country. What country would you want it to unexpectedly succeed in and why?>Hard mode: No JapanFor me, probably Finland. Finns make funny fanart and I’d love to have an excuse to visit Finland.

I need a bit of help, I wanted to teach players they can use both hands to pick up items so I made an UI but now that I finished im having second thoughtsis this ok or is it terrible? should I do something else or just try to have a prettier UI sprite?i hope you help me aggydaggy!!
>>537322601>we want to make sure it arrives at time where it can receive the attention and care that it we deservesThis is a Renee (woman) moment extrapolated to the absurd. I love it.
>>537323652The algorithm isn’t to blame for this lol, it’s the attention economy. It doesn’t cost money to watch a YouTube video, and people don’t rewatch that same YouTube video again and again instead of clicking on other videos. When a popular game releases a big chunk of players are going to buy that game and play it exclusively for weeks to months. That’s why no one wants to release around the same time as a high anticipated game, because no one will pay attention to their game. It could be on the front page of Steam for a week and no one would care.

>>537326536awoken?
>>537326536the flop circle...
>>537326536Her.
>>537325762I will if I have time.Just a bit of unsolicited feedback, but the art direction you’ve gone with for your cafe so far doesn’t feel very “maid cafe” to me. I’ve always associated maid cafes with bright, warm colors like light browns, tans, yellows, and pastels. What you have right now looks more like an office or an internet cafe. Maybe it’s all placeholder materials, or maybe you like that dark look better and don’t care what I have to say, but I thought I’d share this regardless. I like your game and want you to succeed.
>>537326640you are not allowed to ask that unless your post contains a picture of your game.>>537326775this seems correct. i saw the characters hair as blue in grayscale and forgot about the mech game.
>>537326886the idea is to have a soulless cafe that you build up into something cute and shit but yeah not done yet
>>537326904What is your game?

>>537327263Or else what?
>>537327337or else it will be obvious to everyone you're just a demogauge who at best, is trying to stirr up drama related to games in order to knock down competitors, or at worst a no dev who just wants to see agdg burn. either way there's no sincerity in demanding information you aren't personally willing to share.

So apparently music composition is way fucking easier than I thought it was considering my background in classical music performanceIt sure is a pain in the ass that composers have all this bullshit notation and language they use (like "perfect fifths" and whatnot) cause it's really not that complicated

>>537311215if someone had faithfully remade Bloodlines in UE5 (the only difference is Heather can be commanded to be fully naked in the chantry now, not just changing clothes) and did the right thing not announcing early enough for the DMCA shit, how could they release it in a safe way?
>>537327337Or else nobody will reply to you with their game.
>>537329316yeah, he should at least attach a picture to his post so we can see if he has some game progress or just code progress, or in his case some DAW fuckery
Anyone else celebrate whenever an inner circle game flops? I have a little cake and a drink whenever it happens but its been causing me to gain weight lately.
I will admit my game is slop, and mostly made by AI, but I do pay for an artist to make my sprites at least. But i worry I lack the soul to really compete. Still love it though.

how's that game going anonsI wanted to do a "break of dawn" scene but it's been so long since I touched grass that I don't know how the sky looks anymore. It's over.
>>537329945>Bloodlineswhat game is this?>heather>chantryit is vtmb? It is so strange to hear people refer to it as "bloodlines" now given that it was always referred to exclusively as "vtmb" for the past 2 decades... bizarrefor me, the 3 main keys of playing that game were:1) lots of colored lighting 2) the talking cutscenes3) the feel of a "first person + over the shoulder gta" so the remake seems to kinda have the lighting but the haze cheapens the effect in my eyesnow the combat is a lot of sneaking around and take downsI think it will make or break on the quality of the character writing and how fun all the game mission areas areit kinda seems to me like they played cp2077 then copied it, the stealth takedowns based combat, the voice in your head narrator, crap like that.

Right now music from ai is focused on jazzy compositions and analogue outputs that feel messy. I'd pay actual money for a model that does this. so many good royalty free music exists but its all fully instrumentation in a daw instead of chip tune.

>>537331798Only if you act on them, in this case that meaning acting on the thought of disallowing agdg posters from asking other posters what their games are without attaching a game to the post. As you're unwilling or unable to take any action towards that thought, it carries no weight. What is your game?

Holy fuck, I'm a god. I should just become a game composer.Or at least that's what I would've said if we lived in times where every composer weren't about to be replaced by AI.

>>537331447Pretty good I added a yaw feature to my planes, so that they can aim in a variety of ways, I couldn't decide how i wanted to do it, so i made it a toggle where it works smoothly with an automatic return to normal, or it steps where it can be locked into place, and then a third option which just resets and locks it forward. Also worked a lot on a menu to get it to work well with controller or keyboard.
Finished another illustration for my game, bros. Only a million more to go...
>>537333123can i see it
>>537331798that means you like it? It's just a big plane 1000x1000 facing downwards, and picrel as it's shader material. You feed it 2 noise textures and play around with their color gradient to get the cloud color your like.>but the big plane borders?Key part here is the distance fade, make sure you set it right so the borders of the big plane aren't visible and faded out. The value on Min you see in picrel is it's size. Play around with the power you apply to it until you are happy with how it looks. Oh and during gameplay make it so it's position is the same as the camera position + whatever the sky's height is.>pay youyou can play my demo when it comes out>which onethe one with the goblins.

Reminder: if your art looks like shit, make your game ironically ugly. People lap that shit up.

I still didn't see a reason as to why pic related became a massive success. What is the explanation?
>>537329265Here's the thing at that resolution and the fact you're a proompter people will tell and your game will be unoptimized trash. But if you toolkit that and retopologize and output like that among a variety of over a hundred unique models and add a psx filter it will actually be soul and I'm not evne shitting.Just make sure to give it an AI slop price tag over 7.99 would just be egregious.Good luck faggot, oh and make everything really dark too.

>>537338163Yes, actually. My game has five characters and each one is a different flavor of mental illness.
>>537332929woah how are you so good? I swear all my krita brushes are dogshit and keep me from GMI
>>537338028>>537338150They made their game look bad in a way that was consistent and strangling appealing. Both of the devs have art backgrounds. I've tried the 'ironically bad' before and it just looks like generic bad no matter how hard I try. It's easier to make something look good than to succeed making something ironically bad if you don't know what you're doing.
>>537336227Did you finally learn? It's like I said we should have fucking collab now we both NGMI'D
>>537338028Ugly art games still require good gameplay or an interesting story hook. If both your art and gameplay are shit it'll just come out feeling amateurish and bad.

>>537339724I was too stupid to figure out how to do a proper fade out from black and get it working again so I went with a starting level transition that just shrinks the black cube image down instead of fading it.

i don't know what game to make
The outer cube
will the rolling cube game do better or worse than Mojito the Cat?
>>537344315rip off don't always do so well, but it did work for eric so maybe bokube will beat mojito cat
Rolling Ball Game will hate this dev as much as Bokube hates Mojito
>look up mojito catwhy would anyone bother cloning this?
>>537344986
>>537344315mojito sold on switch, the best place to sell puzzle platformers. when is bokube coming to switch 2? can a man who can't fade a sprite port it?

>>537345067>>537345517
>>537344315At this point we need to be asking if it will do better than Mojito the Cat 2
>>537345067I heard boku just really enjoyed that game so much he wanted to rip it off
>>537345517*mojito deserved more that 4 reviews. also boku lied and said it's a quick cashgrab mobile port despite no phone version existing

Does your game have more reviews that this one anon?
>>537345698So not only did he play for an hour, he also came back to write the pissy review more than 2 weeks after thatWhat a piece of shit, I already knew that from other things I've seen but just more evidence I guess.Genuinely curious to see what he'll do when his rolling cube game flops after 10 fucking years.

Newly released Stack-O-Bot sample project from Unreal, it’s really well put together.I’m copy/pasting the dynamic camera blueprint to modify for my own uses.That and the dynamic UV-less materials.https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/news/updated-stack-o-bot-for-unreal-engine-5-6-available-now
>>537347984Keep at it gamer
Gamers are retards. I'm done trying to make my game appeal to anyone but myself
>>537349917Unironically this is how you make artGodspeed anon
>>537349917gamedev is art, not slop
I'm having a hard time getting more people to follow my steam page no matter how much I market but I'm getting some good wishlist numbers. What does that mean
>UV-less materialsUnreal is releasing new feature after new feature that I can’t keep up
Unity is dead and sterile…
>>537350296Steam page followers are apparently a better indicator than wishlists for how your game will do.
>>537350296follower to wishlist ratio is a good indicator to how strong your wishlists are. If you're getting sympathy wishlists then your ratio is going to be very poor.
>>537351212>>537350695I have a good amount of followers but my wishlists are higher than usual compared to that which might be the problem
>>537350312Unreal is industry levelno solo dev could possibly master itso just stick to blueprints and asset flips
Metroid.
>>537344660>>537345745>>537346375But Mojito the Cat, the optimization-puzzle game, is genuinely a bad game, or at least not fun for a lot of people. I think one aggerdagger played it some time ago, and arrived at the same conclusion. And if you up any video of Mojito the Cat, the players generally look painfully bored.Now, Mojito Woody's Rescue, the unreleased 3D platformer, looks like it might be way more fun. And it has in some ways already made it.https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1664720?emclan=103582791470880041&emgid=544487282992743528
>>537351895You only use 5% of the 100% that’s available, no need to “master” Unreal just what you need to use.It takes a day to learn Procedural Generation, it takes a day to learn Chaos cloth physics, etc…It’s ridiculously easy.Saying Unreal is “Industry Level”, well obviously.
>>537352357>October of 2021Nice to see a dev stick to his vision for so long, dedicated
>>537352357PaperKlay and Ruffy capped out before 130 reviews, the genre is dead>But they did better than anon devsThey spent $10,000 for an expo that uses bots. They needed far more to get a refund.
>>537353482Why has the Kickstarter not been launched for 4 years?
I’ll be the first solo dev who masters Unreal and releases the first AAA quality indie-game with a Linkin Park OST, heartless, Super Monkey Ball minigames, and a sexy furry protagonist
>>537353949Is Cris a Bocchi-poster?
>>537345698>>537345726>>537352357>>537353482Did the mojito the cat game come out before the Bokube kickstarter back in 2017? Who cloned who?
>>537353708I think it is difficult to predict. Social media can change outcomes a lot as well, sometimes far, far beyond the actual potential of the game if it had no marketing or social media manipulation and only spread genuinely organically, so to say. Though success with that kind of approach is in many cases unpredictable, and some kinds of it are not the nicest things ever.However, 4 years is a longer development time than I anticipated. It would need a lot of sales to recover the development costs. Was it fulltime for 4 years?
>>537355182Bokube probably was announced first, the other stuff is probably just memes.
>>537350312as a card-carrying UV unwrapping hater, I could get on board with this. alas I'm not gonna use UE5
>>537355182I swear I played mojito/boku-likes on PS1 in the late 90s

What's a good design pattern for queuing up future animations and events? I keep coming up with various solutions and none of them are really painless. My latest one is just saving function pointers and arguments for future function calls, but in practice, this is hell to debug. If there's an error it will often just point to the function that constructs deferred call structs, which gives me very little information about what's wrong.
>Create a Twitter account to start advertising my game>My timeline (or whatever that thing is called) is immediately filled with /pol/ ragebait with the most schizophrenic and most racist posters in the comments despite selecting "anime" as my only interest>Most other posts are filled with children making threats or generally trying to be a nuisanceCan I make it without using Twitter?

>>537327817Yes, actually. I have angered enough trannies over 10 years ago that they still remember me. I even made an enemy of a prominent tranny youtuber back in the day. If I somehow make it with my game, I 100% expect to see discord logs being posted on bluesky "exposing" me. I take it as a badge of honor.
Why is godot so shitty with the most basic stuff like window size resolution etc
>>537350312>vertex colors are a new feature
>>537371139>your game will suffer for not hiring peoplePeople just need to stay in their lane and make games that cater to their skills, or put the time and work in to get good.
>>537372053I found Godot is by far the best when it comes to window size. So many games just utterly break whenever I load them up with any non-standard resolution but Godot doesn't.I'm really fucking surprised because I thought everyone had two monitors but the moment I get more than one monitor there aren't any games that are capable of comprehending itit's so bad that it makes nolgorb actually unplayable
>>537373134wait a minute, let me correct that real quickNolgorb is Godot if I remember right, but it doesn't allow window resizing without accessing the options menu, which is near impossiblethat's the problemgodot's window resizing is the good part
>>537370441What is your game?
if you hold shift while launching my game you get resolution options and key rebinding. this is not available in-game.

We're coming up on Demo Day 64, and you'd like to get something back from all your hard effort. I will make a generous donation to your demo if you add a screen at the beginning that says "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts". It must be unskippable and stay present and visible for at least 5 seconds.Note that for any qualifying games I'll be waiting a week to make sure you don't just immediately replace it.I don't want to list an exact amount, because a game where it really doesn't fit in, or going "the extra mile" (fart noises in your soundtrack, especially in a serious game, things like that) will be rewarded more heavily.Life handed me some bounty with Bitcoin and GME, so I'm more than happy to "give a little back" ;)Humiliate yourself for money.>How do I sign up?Just add what I said to your game, and post in the thread at some point: "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts" with a link to your game. I have something that will be looking for exactly that phrase.Add additional notes if you have any such as "I added a fart sound to my music" and how it can be heard for verification.

Can I just animate everything in Blender then take it to Unreal as an asset? Or will I be fucking myself over?The reason I ask is that I already do 3D animation in Blender so I'm kinda used to it there. Trying to animate in UE felt like a chore...

I've been down another rabbit hole, this time learning the very beginner basics of django of all things. my new desktop is windows+amd so it can't do anything AI related. but my old laptop is capable of running "whisperx" to turn .wav -> .srt which I'm trying to use for auto textbox text from my VA. so I don't use that laptop anymore but I can ping it over the network and so I'm trying to be able to call python scripts over the network so I can make a .bat file using curl to send the .wav file and download and save the .srt response to the folder the .wav file came from right next to it.there is also something called rhubarb which turns .wav into .json of mouth shape at time offset that I want to use to animate the talking avatar in time with the audio file and add calling that to the same .bat fileright now it feels kind of esoteric but I'm hoping it will prove practical and I'll use it a lot. I think its okay to do this stuff if you build on top of it because I want to make myself more productive in the future even if I have to spend a day here and there making these side project tools. Like I don't have any side project games, just main project game and side project automation tools to help with that game

A question to flopdevs on here, especially those with unfinished EA titles and/or games that flopped a long while ago:If suddenly SSeth, or Pyrocynical, or some other youtube slop influencer played your game and got your game a massive following, what'd you do? Would you go back to working on it/make sequels? Or have you become so jaded you don't give a shit anymore.
>>537389284it barely even functions on newer computers so i have exceptional doubts it'd suddenly get a cult following
>>537389412Suppose that somehow the millions of retards coming from them figure out how to run your game. What'd you do then?
>>537389284>Or have you become so jaded you don't give a shit anymore.Knowing myself, probably this. I used to upload short animations to a youtube channel for fun. A few years after I stopped one of them got picked up by the algorithm, got over 5 million views, and the channel has since grown to almost 100k subscribers without me doing anything. I haven't uploaded in 6 years and if I came back today I would probably still have a decent audience, but I just don't have the motivation to do it. I don't even know what people use for animating these days. In the past I used an old version of Adobe Flash that I no longer have access to.

How hard is an engine to learn really?I’ve opened up unity and simpler ones like playcanvas a few times and I mostly just stare at the examples in retard confusion, and tried and failed to turn an fps example into third person.How many hours before you knew what you were doing?

>>537397431I once said I make $55k a year in this general and I got replies acting like that was enough money to retire on for the rest of my life.
>>537397702Because they went into that profession thinking it would be easy and wouldn't be actual work. Either that or you're not paying them enough to care
>>537397702The same happens to people in this thread.It's why demo day is so important.What you need as any kind of creative is a hard deadline.
>>537398039> enough money to retireIt is
>>537398039It's not enough to retire here, but if you put that much into a fixed term deposit you can get the equivalent of a part time job each month.It's nothing to scoff at.
>>537397972no, it's reasonableyou should give people reasonable budgets and timeframes and then be flexible give them more than enough time to do it but not enough that they can put it off for months and then if anything bad happens you can be forgiving and give them more time, as opposed to them doing it at the last moment and then you demanding they finish it immediately and drop everything else they're doing
>>537398087>The same happens to people in this thread.>It's why demo day is so important.If you're making a game (and it's not in Early Access) it's not such a big deal. When you're working on your own, for yourself, it's not as bad.It's a problem when you work for yourself.>What you need as any kind of creative is a hard deadline.Not really. All you need is a good work ethic. Most people don't have it. A hard deadline can speed you up but not fix procrastination.
>>537397972I'm not being an asshole, I just know that there are a ton of creative types who can fall into bad habits/patterns of procrastination, they're prone to it.Nothing wrong with giving em a little time-based motivation to actually start on the commission

>>537397862Yeah, crack that whip. Make em work for that transition.
>>537398624Something cool in the book that I've never seen replicated in an adaptation is how they take down a tripod with artillery and so the martians start deploying gas weapons.It makes them seem more intelligent.>>537398826Sounds like you are afraid of the whip.
>30-40 non-bot Steam page viewsNobody tell her.
how much time should i give an artist for a 3d model? is 1 week too much?
>>537399049Depends on what, a few days usually.
>>537398913>Sounds like you are afraid of the whip.Nope, I just don't need it. I can make myself work every day on something I like without much force, even if it's not making much money. I did adhere to one deadline recently because I objectively knew I had to get a thing done before a certain point.

>>537402197haha nice, it's always fun to see what the inception of an idea was liketons of games just start out as doodles on a piece of paper
>>537402197Retard why should I care about your shitty game if you never gave a shit about anyone else's game? Your shit isn't anything special. Your game has no staying power or cultural footprint stop acting like you're above the other posters. If you're not going to participate in this thread like an equal participant then don't expect anyone to roll out any red carpets for you. Your life is mid.

>>537406641You think there's no progress because you haven't been paying attention to it. Actually look for progress posts and reply to them instead of just complaining.
>>537390806The most needlessly toxic thing I ever did irl was every time the upstairs neighbors would have sex and I could hear it, I’d play some super obnoxious teenage YouTuber at max volume on boosted speakers until it stopped.They moved out pretty quickly and my new neighbor is single.I regret nothing, buy a real house or shut the fuck up.

What will my mom do when I have a gamer son and thus she has a gamer grandson?Supporting two gamers won't be easy.If I was a sociopathic narcissist I would stream to help make an income, but the sad reality is my mom will get old and she banished her only (actually I'm her fourth son, she really wanted a daughter) son into the unfinished basement (which I semi-finished just so I'd stop breathing in fiber glass), instead of just trying to play video games with him and becoming a gamer family. This is why the gamer race is at risk. The powers that be attack families. And she's not getting younger so by the time I accidentally impregnate some crack addicted hooker she's going to be filled with regret that she never even tried to learn how to game while me and my son play duos.

I've had a tough week so I'm going to take my friend's advice and take myself out on a "date".I'm planning on going for a short hike up a hill that overlooks my city, then I'll head somewhere to get lunch. Afterwards I might go to a nearby comic shop and then head home and watch a movie or play some games.Remember to take the time to care for yourself!

Games must never be complex. Deep? Maybe. Complex? Never. Players don't want to solve calculus while playing your game, they just want something easy and pleasant to pass the time. Don't be deterred if the gameplay looks really stupid. Know your place.
>>537408780I look like this and I say this and it's very nice c:
>>537409194>trying to psyop me into believing sex existssex doesn't exist. it's a fabrication used to motivate us to keep running on the hamster wheel and keep society going.
>>537408780doing this for a while just made me extra depressed walking past all the couples and groups of friends. I don't like hanging around myself that much
why is /agdg/ psy-opping eachother :c
Don't care about sex. don't care about friends. only want to write software and cause chaos in the world.
>>537409970This is why I like to out in the mornings and absolutely detest going out in the eveningsIn the morning it's just me and the elderly awake, they love it when I say "good mornin'" to em as I pass by>>537410052insecurity lmao

Can you devise a scenario where this doesn't affect haunted chocolatier's development?
>>537411678It'll hinder my development time when I replay Stardew Valley again.
>>537411610That requires releasing a game

>>537408780Must be a female friend. This treat yourself rethoric is peak woman. Hope you had a good time though...
>>537409795If you ever do there will be no one around you, to the point that whenever some government form needs you to put a secondary contact for things you’ll just commit perjury and use a burner phone and a fake name because it’s less of a hassle than explaining to the passport office that no, there is literally not a single person that knows who you are that isn’t dead.

>>537411678I might be wrong but I thought Eric had basically handed over Stardew to another dev for the last few versions?

what happened to this place? where are the games? even the pisscord is progress-dead
>>537406767Nah, that's unironically really goodI can see an angle for being a bit generic with the bodies but even then, I don't think it's the bad kind of generic. Regardless of how much the artist is being paid Aura must've lucked out to catch an artist like that, it's not easy to find artists to work on gamesfrom what I saw so far, the game could attract a woman audience too
Don't be this
>>537414629Making new versions of games you like?What wrong with that?
>>537414629>IS THAT AN HOMAGE IN MY FUCKING INDIE GAME?
>>537414629As I've grown and matured, I've realized the problem is steam piggies. They're simple and dimwitted so ANYTHING that could confuse them is off limits. Treat them like a nature documentary, if you're fishing do you use bait that looks like a candy cane or something? No, piggies are as smart as fish, so the same applies here too.
>>537414629Whats that MGS ripoff? It looks neat.
>>537414629name of the driver clone?
>>537414629Why isn't there any GTA Vice City clones?
>>537414629>big IP gobbling corp doesnt shit out games>so it's bad that fans make them
>>537415247That could be your big break. Get on it!
>>537414629
>>537415469Imagine if he let all those comments get to him and stopped working on itBro would be washing dishes stillI think that's genuinely inspiring
>>537415247That Marcis guy was working on one and abandoned it when he realized how much work it is to make an open world city.
>>537415247devs literally tell starters that NO you cant make a GTA clone it's stupid because with the amount of tools available a small indie studio could very easily make SD era GTA clones
Game but it's only escort missions
>>537415847The fact that the comments got to him is what prompted him to improve
>>537415973RE4 and SH4 already exist.
>>537416067That's the right mindset to haveA weaker person would just toss it in the garbage and give up
>>537415247Isn't Schedule I just downscaled GTA?>>537414629I need the names of every game in this collage. I recognize most of the original games and some indie copycats, but I need a comprehensible list
>>537415469>>537415847>>537416067>>537416191Large amounts of attention is a gmi sign because it's way easier to switch negative attention to positive attention than to go from zero attention to positive attention.(Almost) none of us are getting nearly as much attention, positive or negative, and that is why we are (almost) all ngmi.
>>537414410I've been working on art and I don't post art progress on AGDG.
>>537416067He improved very little and those were cherrypicked comments. He did get on Steam after all.
>>537416279I don't need attention to make it.
>>537407185I have though?
If you were deving in 98' to 2001 mad props to you
>>537416081When you finally focus and start noticing how little escort mission RE4 is you'll feel really stupid
>>537411678who cares
>>537414410It's 5 days until DDIt's time to motherfucking crunch
>>537416545It was a joke anon.Eileen in SH4 isn't with you for most of the game either.
>>537416067Comments like that don't motivate me to work harder because they're just fucking dumb. Enjoy sticking to harvest moon, I guess, except the series was in legal hell at the time and not on PC. Right off the bat, the criticism isn't genuine and isn't real.How do you work with fake criticism?
>>537416545Is this true? I was gonna buy RE4 for the escorting but now I'm not sure
>>537415247You going to license all those 80s bangers for the soundtrack or you going to rely on royalty-free synthwave music?
>>537416512>He improved very littleFalse>and those were cherrypicked comments.False
Is there anywhere to just talk about sort of casual/abstract high level world/design/concept/story stuff?Any time I make posts about it on normal forums or here it just dies.
>hey anon I bought you new GPU to dev on>it's pic relatedyour response?
>>537416226>Isn't Schedule I just downscaled GTA?more of a druglord sim, but I can see why you'd think that. amazing what a solo dev can manage
>>537417247thanks but i dont think itll work with my mobo and cpu
>>537417049Here's what you do:-You have a bunch of placeholder free music in a folder that the game reads from-You provide the players a list of the music you want in the game but can't afford-The players can then replace the music themselves if they actually care and you get away with itAnd you know if your game got popular enough that people would host .zip files containing the playlist to make it even less work for those who are technologically impaired
>>537417130>it started that badlyman, and here i was shitting on the current artstyle, guess it could've been worse
>>537416878There is escorting, but the first Chapter you're looking for her, then in second chapter she's kidnapped in, like, second episode. When she is next to you you can just tell her to hide in conviniently placed chest and the moments when enemies are a threat to her are stretched thin.
>>537417186Just talk about it here anon I'm curious to hear what you have to say on the matter
We must go back
>>537380284Whoa, calm down Gameplay Supremacy dev, we hear ya
>>537417130those were cherrypicked comments. he did get on Steam and easily. most loved his game.
My game is (objectively) better than a lot of games /agdg/ praises and yet nobody knows who I am.
>>537417247I bought a Gf3 Ti200 in 2003. It was working great for a few years until that shitty fan died.

heh, videogames
>>537417987Bullshit, I remember seeing the greenlight page. It was like 3 pages of comments, 70% negativeFor some reason current steam doesn't let you open the page if anyone has some archive link by all means link it

>>537421552mine in service jobs! and then 5 years of unfruitful neetdom. I always wished I had spent them more productively, but it wouldn't have likely made much of a longterm impact, maybe some savings if I had also been money smart, which is doubly unlikely.now what anon? are you using the programmer money to sustain yourself making games? you work off in the mountains doing something completely unrelated?

>>537392992After playing my little crab clicker demo I've come to the conclusion that hand eye coordination motor skill based games like this are too intense to be successful. Even with rougelite elements that kill additional crabs as the waves get bigger, eventually there's a hard limit to the speed of the player which you will hit very quickly. Also fatigue sets in fast which really limits how long the rounds can be and how long they can keep playing for.Furthermore it's a game that requires a lot of concentration which is not good for casual streamers, they basically like to play games that play themselves while they focus on talking to the chat.It's a type of game that really belongs on mobile, but then mobile is already super super super saturated with this shit.
