Just made somethign really good but you guys would probably copy me
if I build my game, will the players come?
>>537533976yes
>>537533473gonna turn in now, wanted to ask what everyone thinks of using vibe coding with agents if you've done that. make sure to include what engine you use. currently i use unreal. I figure thats about the worst option, but i figured it wouldn't hurt to ask in the new thread beforehand. Whats the worst that can happen, I get called a niggerfaggot? keep devin, daylight devs. I prescribe you 15 minutes of sunshine minimum.
>>537533976Oh I'll come alright.
>>537534030so it's that simple, build a game and the players will come?
Alright admit it who is >>>/v/719562768
>>537533976Yes. Hell, tell me which game in the next AGDG and i will play it. In fact, anons, im having some serious money issue right now. Can i play some of your games and posted it for YouTube content? I promise i wont be too harsh in my word, when i play your game and didn't like it
>>537534173all me
>>537534140its that easy bro
>>537534232*AGDG demo daysDang it
>>537533473>so mentally ill the creature puts his ban evading message in the OPWhen I make it I will sponsor a janny to just babysit this thread and clean up your garbage. Fygoon? He was right.
>>537534232This but just the first part. I have bought ~80% of all AGDG games
>>537534108>Whats the worst that can happen, I get called a niggerfaggot?No, the worst thing that can happen is that you make a lighthearted joke about someone being brown skinned, in which case you’ll be mass reported and banned within 10 minutes. Calling people niggerfaggot is totally fine, for some strange reason that never seems to get mass reported.Really makes you think!
Are we just putting random flops in the list for shits and giggles now?
>>537534402>Fygoonis fygoon still around? what happened to him??
It's actually really embarrassing how long it took me to make this
>makes millionsHOW
>if i just quit my job then i'd finally have time to make it as an indie devis this cope or could i really make it
>>537534630it’s fun!
>>537534630FunRight niche at the right timeWhen Darwin said survival of the fittest, he meant fittest as in >that which best fits into its niche
>>537534680Some of us will make it. Most of you will not.
>>537534680>if I just sell my house, start a youtube channel that averages 2k views per vid, and then only make half-baked, soulless ripoffs of popular games i'd finally make it as an indie dev
>>537534687its mid at best>>537534852what is the right time now?
>>537534680Make sure your game is an alpha stage first- baseline graphics, main content, core mechanics ready for refinement
>>537534891my ideas are uniqueim just so burned out from working my mind feels broken
>>537534680You should do it. Quitting your job puts your brain into fight or flight mode and makes you work extra hard now that the safety net of consistent income is no longer underneath you. It’s the different between scaling a mountain with a harness and ropes vs. free climbing with no safety equipment. Quit today, worry about the problems later. I believe in you.
>day 9 of trying to get unity to autoscroll my inventory items scrollview properly
>>537534680Depends. How competent are you? How good is your game idea? How long will it take to be fully realized? And most importantly. How good are you at shilling?
>>537534930>what is the right time now?Nobody knows! Weasel >>537535075How you feel today doesn't matter, the only thing that lasts is the work that you've done
>look up what streamers and tiktokers play nowadays>make a clone slop or a mix-mash of it>???>profit
>>537534930It’s 12:24 where I am in the US.
>>537535109i think the idea is good and unique, and difficulty wise its not so hard to make, i am more than competent enough to make iti would need to paypig for some things though>How good are you at shillingi will paypig for some advertisement too
>>537535220Start with Pong.
>>537535220If that’s what works for you, go ahead. Nobody is stopping you. Good luck!
>>537535220>walk into the museum, copy the paintings that you see>walk into the bookstore, copy whatevers on thebestseelers shelf>walk into the movies, copy whatever movie they're showingSounds retarded doesn't it?You don't compete with a prefilled niche dum dum
>>537535420thats why I said make a mix-mash of itmaking another game like the one that is currently succesful is retarded
Keep your head up, anon! Someone out there is rooting for you, and it’s me!
>>537535581>mix-mashyassss dude, my game will be one part vampire survivors, one part the lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring, one part van gogh paintings, and finally one part key lime pie!!yassss
Is silksong going to buttfuck every indie dev since they are establishing the $20 price point?
>playing slay the spire while AI studio is creating me gameHoly shit gamedev is easy mode, fucking trannies and their gay misery made me not want to try but it's actually a great and fun hobby.
>>537535794Your game is worth 2 bucks tops
can someone do a wellness check on my boy Sasquatch B? He's been absent from these threads as of late and I'm getting worried!
>>537535794Worry about yourself and try not to focus on others. Keep your eyes trained on the destination ahead, not the distractions around you.
https://youtube.com/shorts/UfxAnCASaQcliterally me
Not clicking on that shit
dont click that shit nigga
>>537536082We got a cool guy over here
>>537535794selling a game that cost you less than 100 thousand to make for $20+ dollars is malignant narcissism
flappy bird made 1.5M USD/per monthwhat's your excuse?
pack this gimmick in, it isnt working
My game will make 1.5M USD + 1 per month
Flappy Birds, but with AI generated voice acting
>>537536759What would it say?
>>537535109Also how capable are you of working long hours even without a boss holding deadlines over you. I cant help but suspect all those reddit posts of about how they quite their job for a year and here is the steaming turd of a game they made are by people who quit and proceeded to take it easy instead of working even harder. You must be the slave and the slave driver in that situation
>Angry Birds made $300 Million in it's lifetime>Candy Crush Sagamakes 100s of millions annually>Crossy Road made $10 Million in 90 dayswhy are you making complex games? GAMES ARE FOR THE PEOPLE TO PLAY we want casual quick to get in shit, not some nerd slop
>>537536795I have no idea. Ask Grok.
posting once more. gonna work on the UI a bit more so its not the default buttons + sliders.have a good day agdg!
>>537536843That's why having a job can help. You spend the whole day at work wishing you were working on the game and then you come home and put in a solid 2 hours of focused workInstead of being unemployed and putting in 5 hours of unfocused work while taking numerous porn/gaming/anime breaks
>>537536919this market no longer exists, it was people waiting for the bus fucking around on their phones, they now all scroll away on tiktok insteadthere's a reason mobile shit has shifted towards gacha dogshit
>>537536919>nerd slopThose who like nerd slop are very very desperate for quality nerd slop
>>537537290big company like voodoo is making these notorious Ads games
I'm very good at anatomy, to the point where I can't even enjoy anime because of bad anatomy.... except I'm terrible at implementation. I just don't get it, I see the perfect image in my mind all the layers of bone, muscle, fat distributions, skin, but when I put my pen down it fucking sucks.Is this an issue with proportions or perspective?
>>537534680I quit my job but I work on my game a similar amount, which is around 3 hours of actual work a day. The only difference is that without a job, that 3 hours is spread over 10 hours with lots of doing nothing in between tabbing back into unity. When I had a job it would be 3 hours of actual work, straight.
Mario but you play as an anime girl with huge tits
>>537537549retard
>bro don’t quit your job it’s not worth itokay, but what about getting fired? I have my performance evaluation tomorrow and I’m worried they’re going to realize I haven’t been doing any work all year, which I haven’t. I just clock in and play Geoguessr for 8 hours. I’ll be able to collect unemployment at least.
are such things even possible or AI is misleading me?
Just finished refactoring all my level code into a level manager actor I can just drop into each level. Will reduce bloat by a huge amount because Unreal doesn't instance code contained in levels, and has the added benefit of making all the variables much more easily accessible from the editor.A little demoralizing doing all this refactoring, because it means not generating more content, even if it's a much better product in the end.So far the whole thing is running 15% faster on average, and the install footprint has been reduced by around 1 Gig for extant resources.
>>537538291You can't depend on AI for accurate exact information. It will always lie to you on that
>>537537126looks transcoded
>>537538291>Trying to get numbers out of AIYou will never make a good game. Your retarded
>>537539089fuck off nodev
>>537538291I really hope you’re playing a character
>>537539376>>537539089AI searches google right?
I updated the 3D model for the guns in the game, The new one is decorated with engravjtvkrings and is using normal maps.
>>537538291>mobileslop full of ads and microtransactionswho knows, anything goes on that shityou just need to advertise properly
making a game is not a get rich quick schemeyou're either underage or retarded if you think you're going to make a lot of money through this jobby
>>537539629truth is product doesnt matter, if you dont have an audience you make zero moneyyou can sell literal shit (excrement) and make money IF you have access to the right people>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist%27s_Shit
I decided I am going to make a multiplayer casual fighting game.>Yes the net code will be good>Yes there will be sexy girls to play as>Yes streamers will love it and make me millions
Making a game is a get rich slowly but surely scheme.J O B B YOBBY
>>537539825nice good luck anoni think it would be cool to make a fighting game also
we're all here, and we all need money to survive
>>537539926its true, every game can make you an infinite amount of money as more consumers are born and have the chance to encounter itand each subsequent game will do the same thus multiplying how fast you will earn your infinite dollarsyou literally cant lose
>>537539926>spend 3 years making 1 game>it flops>bankruptcy and homelessness inboundyou're going broke, not rich.
>>537539926TRVKE
>>537510201>Replace GDScript with a slower language not built for gamedev and this engine is gonna take offSmartest /agdg/NIGGER
>>537540193this man is right, if you spend more than a week on a game, there is something wrong
>>537533473calling people brown now has a higher chance of you getting b& than calling people niggers lmaocurious>>537533976No, you'll need to properly advertise it (my least favorite part of the process, especially interacting with redditors).>>537534630Fun with a timeless aesthetic. It's that easy.>>537534680People who quit their job cold turkey are retarded. You should start out putting an hour a day into dev time and seeing how that feels. If you ramp it up to 2-3 hours a day or more it becomes your main hobby outside of work, and depending on some other factors like your skill as a programmer & artist and how good you feel your game plays & looks, you can start to seriously think about reversing your priorities for a couple years until you release, if you can hack it financially. Gonna be weird explaining the employment gap if you fail, though. >>537535220underage (18 and under) majorly play mobile slop. I don't even want to pretend I care about catering to them.
>>537540107jews are to blame for this
>>537540193First games tend to flop. Third and fourth games tend to succeed. If you don't have the resources saved up to make it to your third or fourth games, then you're NGMI.
>>537540320this planet could have been something more, if only people stopped worshipping gold
I alone can save the reputation of wegs over at /hgg2d/.
>>537540434is this in a sample of only devs who eventually succeeded?if so, what was their flop rate on the first game compared to a sample of all devs (including those who only made one game, which is the majority of all devs afaik)?
AhhhhhHHH MY MODEL JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE WHENEVER I TRY TO ""FIX"" THINGS
>>537540845>AhhhhhHHH MY MODEL JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE WHENEVER I TRY TO ""FIX"" THINGS
>>537540434My first game is pretty great, there's demand for it, and my living expenses are low enough that I can live off whatever I earn. Your conditions don't apply to me, I'm special
>>537540783I don't have it saved, but there was some screencap of data for this. Some other anon might be able to post it.
almost 100 posts and not a single progress post. the future for /agdg/ is looking grim.
>>537540845Start overKeep it simpleWhenever you move a vertex, most likely all the other vertices which share an edge with it will need to moveAlways look from at least two angles before and after moving a vertex
>>537541118talking about progress is still progress
>>537539980do you know how to 3d model and rig? That’s the only skill i lack and would pay for
>>537541191>talking about progress is still progress

>>537542045No he's yours
IT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE OVER
>>537534861>SomeRight. There are a limited amount of jobs, investment and spending in the market. Tons of factors control for how well a game and creator does. Practically speaking video games are as fickle as fashion & modeling trends. Usually the best way to actually succeed in these spaces is be rich beforehand and enter the space with a strategy. Take a look at the Elison family for instance - kikes with money and middling taste.
>>537542695Shouldn't have tried to compete with Hollow Knight in the first place LOL

you guys know how TikTok/Youtube Shorts/Instagram reels have taken over right?Does that mean end of PC? Everything seems to be moving towards mobile

Made some great progress today
There is no inner circle

>>537542695do retards really think they have to price their game cheaper than other games in the same genre?
>>537537126>>537538520>>537539489congratulations to todays yesdevs!
>>537543278Really makes you think...
My game made 40 Dollars.Yesdev, next stop: whodev
>>537542923mobile is fucking cancerous to develop for, i doubt indie devs can even compete there so probably best off not worrying about it
>>537534680i can't deal with the constant stress and stomach ulcers. I would rather have less time and stability.
https://youtu.be/uTzloXDaA1Ethis is so cool, I love this kind of visuals
>>537543278I'm part of the 0.01%Now it makes sense why I'm a better dev than everyone else here
>>537542695I really, really don't think the pricing matters much in this scenario.A) if you launch too close to silksong you're fucked no matter the price because you're in the same genre and your EXACT target audience is busy playing and talking about another game.B) if you launch early next year or whenever the hype around silksong has subsided you're not competing with anything. all metroidvania fans have already played silksong and if they're still metroidvania fans they will consider buying your game. they won't be thinking>but I bought [other game] for 5 bucks less than thisthankfully consumers are not rational in this way.

i went fygoon mode on this annoying encapsulation bug holy FVARKthis is the last time i try to apply corposhart programming concepts to gamedev, my next game will be spaghetti code fuck you
Silksong won. /agdg/ lost.
If you think that being a gameDev will get you laid then think againIf you have a fanbase you will be considered a public figure and thus have a power dynamic over everyone who plays your games
>>537542695>[existing game, but worse]
I'm glad Silksong will finally kill all those shitty Hollow Knight clones

>>537543381those all look like shit notice how the most active progress posters are the ones who have no talent? I do not post progress often because I am an artisan who cares about my craft
>>537534630unironically was a different time. Came out just before companies like ketchapp realized the strat was to flood the market with short burst games and cross marketing it
>>537535089Fixed it. Thanks chatgpt!

You guys want me to post?
>>537537549just keep grinding and doing studies of specific body parts. If your mind's eye is really that good, that puts you ahead of most artists. You just need to catch up in pure skill, which you do by drawing more.

you have all this power in your fingertips, the internet, and you still dont know what to do
>>537544775Okay I'll make a webm you better not laugh
>>537545097he only made that video because AI companies are offering $2k per video if you make game dev content and talk about how great AI is.
>>537545097i want to discourage others from using it while using it myself secretly to gain an advantage
>>537544948just look at it, it's so aesthetic, a simple metal, yet it's worth so much
>>537545456that sounds jewish so its probably true, source?
>>537545478I post stuff like this to encourage others to waste their time tard-wrangling chatbots while I make an actual game.
ALL RISE for the /agdg/ anthemhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2uRRDV63ns
>>537545684Killed by a green nipple.
>>537545684seems like the player is moving in discrete turns while the enemies are moving in real-time. bit weird to combine those two aspects.
>>537545684reminds me of a java mobile game wolfenstein
>>537545574didn't save it, but that biteme marnix guy was talking about it a week or two ago.around that same time, people like thomas brush and sasquatch B uploaded videos about AI and game dev.
>>537545856huge if true. undisclosed advertising like that is illegal.
>>537545782Kek I just put the sphere in front so I could see which way they're facing>>537545847The underlying script for executing movement is shared between them, the player's movement appears continuous if you are moving in a straight line
What my game looked like in September 2017
>>537545478this but the opposite, i want you all to develop zero skills, especially for when the VCs come knocking and openai has to triple prices to survive
>>537545851look at that tiny ass hand LOL
>>537542695silksong just saved this retard's ass, no one was buying his game at $20
>>537546384nigga local models are already better devs than 99% of indie devswho tf is relying on openai in big 2025
>>537546449lol it looked okay on 176x220 display
>>537546379What my game looks like now.
midge hunter video game in the style of hitman where you capture and torture a midget who is most definitely not warwick davis
>>537545535Nothing simple about gold. It has unique properties that make it valuable in medicine and metallurgy, people didn't cherish it just because it looked pretty. Gold is a god's gift to earth.
>>5375466838 years for this?
Finally got the combat system feeling nice and fluid for my Kingdom Hearts clone.Attached is a webm showing off 1v1 combat. Enjoy!
>>537546625people who dont spend 2k on graphics cards to get enough vram for that nonsense
>>537546759cool, I didn't knew that, but I think people worship it too much, too much greed on this world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbvMrAQ07Eowhy cant we make this kinography anymore
>>537547330Because the inner circle killed and raped all the good devs and now you're only left with me
These threads have been so bad, summer can't end soon enough.
>>537548056Anon it's September
>>537548056Bro you're completely retarded. Do you want to see what a utopia dominated by your false heroes looks like? Just head over to the discord. You won't find any on-topic posts there either
>>537548108>he thinks summer ends as soon as september startsare you le stupid
>>537548108He's right though. School is off today in the US. You can tell from all the underaged posters.
>>537548256is this really what the discord looks like? lmao what an embarrassment
on the hierarchy of gamedev, catposters are at the tippy top
>>537548256is this really what the discord looks like? holy fuck i've been missing out on good times with bros
Very insightful and uplifting :)https://youtu.be/VreafOS-8A0?si=cavO3i44Z0bKSHoY

>>537548546Here you go.In actual gamedev news, I'm gonna have to translate the game photos to BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE.
>>537548805he's just like me
The only game from here I'm remotely interested in trying is the Frydarian's tale and the roman empire topdown game, the amount of absolute garbage in 2025 /agdg/ is way too high
>>537548256I want to see what an utopia dominated by me looks like.
>>537548832you can go look it up yourself
>neverdev thinks his opinion matters
>>537533473It's always an awful feeling launching your game after just having played a really good one
>>537549268>Frydarian's taleThat game is terrible lol, the physics are the cheapest bs I've ever played
>>537548384It does in a lot of places. Back when I was in school, classes would have started for me about a week ago. >>537548405That's because today is Labor Day in America, not because they're still on Summer break.
claude shannon was right about machines being superior to humans and im glad AI is dominating and destroying the garbage game industrymaybe something good will come out of it crashing, a meritocracy where good games like banquet for fools win instead of nepobaby and gambleslop
>>537549461I looked back when you made that retarded screencap and saw osur's progress post which was quite funny and all those reactions to it seemed very appropriate.
>idea guy'd an interesting and do-able new project>open calculator app>$3 * 22.182 copies>~$60k>feels good to be delusional

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nq0h5OFkZMWhat instruments are used here?
can we all agree that tranime tourist nodevs have ruined the hopoolike vibes of /agdg/? how do we get our mojo back?
A bit off-topic, but I think GameDev's are different to normal people, we are more sensitive, we feel things thus the game creation hobby, while other people, so called normies, are very grounded in this life, soulless, basic
>>537549906How about you try making a video game?
>>537549906what was agdg like back in hopootimes?
>>537549906I agree but we can't do anything. This place collapsed
I just made a application for opencollective who's ready to start donating to me!!:3
This is what I did this long weekend!
>>537549906i always hide all tranime niggers posts if that helps
>>537549268
>>537549996The real brainiacs don't need social validation and comparative critique to justify their existence. If anything, it implies you're so desperately in love with the world that you see your connection as unique. I'm sure a buddhist monk has a greater sense of self understanding than you, the delusional half-wit chasing viral online success, will ever achieve.
>>537549268what about my game? I think its cool!
>>537550309why so judgemental?

Is Godot a woke engine? Can I make chud games with it?
what is with tutorials making their code needlessly complicated and unscalable? I couldn't adapt some old steering behavior code to my game because they used a ton of obscure and outdated functions. I ended up making my own system that's much simpler and works fine.
>>537552582The meshes used in real video games were created as an accumulation of decades of trial and error experimentation by skilled artists with decades of experience, each studying and referencing each others works. Meanwhile, you're an inexperienced retard trying to make up random shit.

For anyone who thinks making an Undertale clone is simple and easy to do, just play Heartbound for 30 minutes and you'll see the quality difference.
>>537560094undertale is extremely cringe, so I'd have difficulty writing on that level
>>537560827That is why you're NGMI.
>>537560827Everything is cringe to somebody. If you let that stop you, then you'll never make anything.
>>537560094one is a patchwork game thrown together in under a year. the other is a passion project made by a professional.I dont need to play heartbound for 30 minutes to realize that it is the superior game. I can see that from watching Thor's content and from looking at the store page.Besides, when I do play Heartbound, time ceases to exist. It's just that good. It makes sense why he gets the hate from crabs, just take a look at this thread. Every yesdev, even the bad ones, is met with endless crabbing and insults.Thor's game is great, it's literally going to be the next YiiK or Earthbound. The haters feel compelled to live at a level that matches their skills, which is insulting and debasing others.Thor is an inspiration to all yesdevs in the world, and the fact that he faces adversity with his chin up makes me glad to be one of his fans.
>>537560094One of my main inspirations is UndertaleI've watched playthroughs of Heartbound, it's a soulless game made by a soulless man who totally missed the point
his personality is pretending to like bad things and he thinks he can make a game
>>537561151shut up jason
>>537561504I am not Thor, I am simply a fellow yesdev and fan of yesdevs.>>537561316You dont understand at all, Heartbound isn't trying to be anything like Undertale. Heartbound draws its main inspiration from Earthbound.Notice how both Heartbound and Earthbound end with -bound? He even named the first part "Heart" to show his love for Earthbound.Undertale is also aptly named. Under because it's beneath most devs, gamers, and people... And tale, because thinking that people actually like that slop is a tall tale. a myth, if you will.So no. Heartbound is a love letter to Earthbound, a timeless classic. Undertale is sloppa that is beneath all of us.
Protip: Keep your bait short and sweet, like AI voice acting and character design.

Anybody do 2D shader commissions?I've about lost my mind trying to work out the math for this.Best I could do was a script generating a tilemap where each tile has a material which samples the appropriate pixel based on their own coordinates.It looks pretty much exactly like what I want, albeit with some buffer-related artifacting. I'll upload that in a moment.

Coming from web and Android UI dev where this is barely an issue, I'm very confused, so can you please explain to me how the hell Godot's scaling works? I've read the docs and still don't get it.Say I want to make a 2D non-pixel-art game and I want it not to look shit in all of 720p, 1080p, 1440p, and 4k. Does that mean that I have to set the base resolution to 4k and Godot simply downscales the result, or is there a way where I can work with a saner 1080p base resolution, provide higher-res sprites, and things will magically look sharp in 4k? I can't understand so far why does Godot recommend working in 4k in this case, I thought there's some magic where I can use any "virtual size" and it will scale the game to the window resolution seamlessly and sharply (again, for the non-pixel-art case), provided the assets are high-res enough.
>>537548256and how is this different from posting reaction images on the 4chinz exactly
>>537563769is that altair ibn la ihaddemos with 0 gameplay are often the most praised
>>537570158The HTML/JS/CSS is pure magic and is unmatched for UIs. No game engine UI toolkit comes even close. In video games, the most common thing to do is to build a UI using fixed-size, unscaled icons for either 720p or 1080p, place those on the screen using anchors, and then offer a UI scaling slider in the settings. That'd probably be the best workflow in Godot. Otherwise, just make it like 1080p which scales up to 4k just fine with anti-aliasing.
>>537568029>>537568591This looks interesting. I'll explore the world of shaders when DD is over. Math and algorithms are some of my biggest passions.
>>537569029Correct. If your is to make money, literally anything else is easier than gamedev. Other creative professions like authors also have a hard time making money, but they require far smaller skillsets. To be a successful solo dev you effectively have to be superhuman.
>>537570387Discord is popular with other people his age, so he feels the need to advertise his disdain for the app to make sure everyone can see how cool and mature he is.

>>537533473How did PS2 era devs make textures like these? I'm talking textures like the ones on the chairs.They look like photos, but I can't tell if they really are photos. Did they actually paint them manually like that?

>>537573732Yes, they took reference photos. That's what the RE4 HD Project used to make higher res textures.

Okay fine you "it's just a le photo" faggots im gonna try it. I modeled this chair, let's fucking see what comes out
>>537575245Having a goal of making money is better than nothing because at least you will have a goal unlike nodevs.
>>537575423NTA but they take pictures of different angles of the chair, and then create a uv map of those pictures to create a texture for the model.

Alright, gonna try to make a walking-talking RPGM-like thing in Godot which is an absolute overkill to use Godot for... but at least it's not coding with menus.Somehow, despite being a full stack dev by trade (anything from spring backends to frontend crap and native mobile), this all seems incredibly intimidating and overwhelming. I used to make basic platformers and 3D scenes with SDL/GL fifteen years ago and it didn't seem that scary back then, but things have sure gotten complicated since then.

>>537581653Underpricing your game is something only the rich can afford. They're screwing over all other indie developers.
>>537581653im not gonna crab but I'll always advice any dev to NOT make a fucking platformer or a game which audience doesnt exist, like starcraft-like or arcade games for the 2000s
>>537580748I'll do if I get to keep 80% of the revenue and copy rights.

>>537582495Game should be freeLike buffalo
The problem with indie game pricing is that every solo dev thinks their game is the next Stardew or Minecraft. The reality is that industry shifting solo-projects like those are extremely rare. And even in the case of those games, once they found initial popularity the devs then hired additional staff to produce more content, so you’re actually getting even more than what was originally included with the current price tag.99.99% of games that were made by a single person aren’t worth paying more than $5 for. Most people aren’t capable of producing both the level of quantity or quality that’s (rightfully) demanded by players for their money.Why do devs see this as a bad thing anyways? Just make smaller games and price them cheaper, it’s not hard. There’s no sense in trying to make a massive game if you actually expect it to be a worthwhile financial investment.
>>537582495Why not? Should people pay a FINE for playing indie games where as they could just buy the other game in the genre made with love.
For everything wrong with anons, at least you’re not this game
>>537582775>discordmore like the flop circle
Selling your game for under $10 is retarded. $10 is equal to $5 pre-covid.
>>537582871Less units sold -> higher price
>>537539489This can be a small meme arcade game but with those gun sizes it will never be a big hit. genre norms exist for a reason, you can't hide enemies or the level with your guns, that's why they cover the bottom of the screen and not the center(plane of enemies and your future movement).
>>537582871the contrarian retards here claim to hate roguelites and other “choose 3 things” mechanics but there’s a reason they’re so popular with indies. You can make a game with significantly less content have significantly more replay value with randomized elements. It’s not difficult to understand, but maybe I’m overestimating the critical thinking ability of the average agdg poster.sometimes I wish there was mandatory age verification for this website.

Playing the schedule 1 demo and surprised by how unpolished it is. Already fucked up by placing the grow tent backwards and have no way to reposition it.

How much action is too much action? I wanted to prototype a twin-stick three-quarters game, but whenever you get hit you have to do a bullet-hell like Deltarune to determine the damageIt sounds fun in my head but it also sounds like unbeleivable tedium
The average /agdg/ game price is $8.86Median price: $7.99Price range: $0.99 to $24.99Total value of all games: $1,019.13

>>537586502i personally wouldn't play something like that but maybe check out that wierd rpg maker mystery dungeon? its got real time action before you switch to turn based mode and then back for bosses and mixes them. they are completely different systems so it might be a good idea to check how they balance things.
I originally planned to get a handheld PC for work breaks, but then I realized most of what I want to do with dev I can do with a mobile phone focus in mind, and Balatro is 10 dollars on phones anyways where I can save the 100 dollars.
>>537586142>>537586189>>537586252If you make a title screen that has black background with white text then some people are going to love it and some people are going to hate it.If you make a title screen that has white background with black text then the people who hated the black background with white text are going to love it and the ones who loved the black background with white text are going to hate it.The solution? A middle ground. Make the title screen a grey background with grey text. That way nobody is going to hate it and everybody is going to love it. It's mathematical!

>>537587579every princess maker
>>537587579I've thought about making a game like this
It seems like games either have no/little verticality, or wind up turning into platformers. I like the 3D jaquaysing of stuff with verticality, but I despise platforming as a concept and don’t think people should fall unless they go out of their way to do something stupid, like in real life.
>>537587759>jelking

i could get a cheap handheld, but I don't know the specs of it and how well certain engines will run on it. if I make something for it and fuck around with port master then it's rendering resolution is tied to whatever the screen is
>>537587968Yeah but then you wind up like BG3 where it feels like you’re magnetically attached to the earth.It should be *possible* to fall to your death. Just not probable.

>>537585982Already bored out of my mind, I don't see anything else to do other than grind and wait for plants to grow. Small kids would find this fun and I think that's what the primary player base is.
>>537589078i think you're fucking retarded and you cant figure out the game systems
>>537586715>>537586836Perhaps a fusion then, cause 2d action basically has features of bullet hells already? Where like sometimes you're just fighting normal enemies with melee/dodge and then bosses or magical enemies that just spam bullets or magic or whatever and you have to close the gap somehow to kill them...So basically just the same idea just blended better.

>>537533473lemme tell you, it's hard to be a retardI've made a system and it worked well, and at some point it stopped working fine. I was looking around my code why older versions were working fine while new build is fucking it all up. I traced it to a level loading function where I was doing some optimalisation so long ago I forgot all about it. In there, I found THERE WAS A TYPO! It was all because of a typo!!! It could be all avoided. I had to test it at the initial stage of the optimalisation and I could do it back then when my memory was fresh and idea was new, but NOOOO, I had to forget all about it and now when I want to make my new version work smoothly it had to come back at me and haunt me.Don't be a retard like me. Thank you for your attention.

>>537585982I'm sorry, but I think schedule 1 is a deeply evil video game.It's designed to waste the most valuable thing a human has, time. It's on par with murder I am being dead serious.Don't get me wrong, it has a lot of depth, impressive simulation for a single dev and a lot of detail and care put into every aspect. It also needs to exist, it was only a matter of time until someone execute it well.But I have never played a game that both required this much input and left you with fucking nothing in the end, after playing for a bit and having zero fun, just number go up sensations, then I checked the time, 10 hours playtime. Fuck. It's like an idle game that is not idle. Do not make a game like this. It's not well designed, it is also very anti-humanity.

>>537593274as i get on in years i feel you, but i mean. civ exists and i feel the same way about it. some games have the entire principle focus on the emergent design of a sandbox and being a waste of time. I prefer stories by far, and narrative driven games. but there are plenty of people who mash through cutscenes who are never going to tolerate a game like mine.

>>537595430Have you ever played a video game or do you just dream of them
>>537595430Yeah I think you're agreeing with what I'm saying, it's not good, even worse is that the game did not change meaningfully across my playtime, sure the minigame differs and things get slightly more automated but... I mean it is in early access, surely it will change a lot.If anyone reading this cares about competing with S1, it can be done easily by making the process more fun and idle while making the world bigger and more rewarding to transverse, distance, add risk into it, let me drive a long time from point to point.

my game gmi'd (500 reviews) but my mom said I still need to go to college and get a jobI can't believe this, so now I have to make another game and hopefully get this time I'm thinking 3d soulslikedoes anyone know a good AI workflow for 3d?Last time I just corrected AI generated sprites.I mean seriously what the fuck is the point of having a job if I don't pay rent and I'm making 600 a month in stocks plus I have 200k in crypto.I could literally retire in south america right now, I think my mom needs to be a bit grateful that I enjoy being her son and spending time as a family.
>>537597106>n-number go upIndeed, nubby's is fun. It could hold my attention for like half an hour, so would pinball. I loved those microsoft pinball game demos when I was a kid, I would play them after school while waiting for my family to come back home. I saw an interesting roguelike take where you design the pinball board by unlocking new obstacles. Schedule 1 is not that though, it's a literal chore simulator.
>>537597795>I'm not readyOops, I shouldn't have wasted my time shitposting that much.
I don't care if I create a finished product that makes a bunch of money. If I have fun while doing a hobby, then I'm a successful game dev :)
custom editors are coolthe code for my tile grid was really bad because it was one of the first things I wrote. I literally just had individual invisible GameObjects at each grid space that held an enum which translated to actual data by casting the enum into an int and sending it as the index for a global list.It's not fully integrated but now I made this custom editor that lets me just create the layout for a given map as a scriptable object. I'm using FE1 tile sprites because it's just an editor tool for making maps.
>>537593274Could you give a little more info on what exactly is engaging you with it?Have you ever played cookie clicker? What does schedule 1 do that CC doesn't?
Why are there so many troons in the Godot community?
>>537598330Yeah of course, I play a lot of idle games. S1 has stuff that grows and the return of money in chunks to the player. I am pretty sure that is it. Money doesn't come into your wallet in real time. Otherwise it's just like the other guy said, less deep cookie clicker with chores. I have to admit to a small cohincidence, I am building the same kind of loop into my game as we speak, not inspired by S1 at all, but it does have fewer chores.

Attention all anons. This is a community service announcement. There is no point replying to any posters because the thread is full of slop posts from zero friends troll posters. The only way to post in this thread is to just independently sump your gamedev related thoughts into the void like a dear diary entry. The real /agdg/ community got raptured away long ago there only people left to reply to posts are bitter tranny schizos butt mad that someone one else is actually doing something. Ignore all previous and future replies and continue to longpost dump with a related screenshot or vid, entirely disregarding any tranny’s protests like some roadkill about to be hit by a semi truck.If the thread tranny could now greentext echo this entire sentiment, thankyou.
