My game is next-gen cause it uses AI voice acting
How do you guys work so hard on visuals when the mechanics are also so difficult to set up
>my game will be next gen because it has bleeb blorb papa grungus
>>537620047is this your main jobby/hobby or do you have other jobbies? me i do wargaming, crypto and miniatures painting too
I imagined the whole game in my head.Now I just need to learn how to code, write, develop, paint and make music.
>>537620485she used to post here... we could've saved her...
>>537620485I like reading, longboarding, playing guitar, singing, experimental music in ableton, chipping away through math books
>>537617632Discord trannies are unironically grooming him into making a tranny friendly game. Don't believe me? They literally gifted the dev a girl vtuber avatar for streaming so they can set off his AGP. Clever bastards.
not replying to the ugly girl but i like witchcraft the occult becoming the perfect being a duality studying programming and beoming the likeness of god and motorcycles.
>>537620685you sound like an interesting person, unless you're doing a disingenuous reddit sarcasm bit in which case kill yourself faggot freak
>>537620485My hobbies:DrawingProgramming Making music(guitar+piano)WritingPixel art3d modellingBoardgamesRunning
>>537620737>Discord trannies are unironically grooming him into making a tranny friendly game.Is this what happened with Shodanon and Peripeteia?
>>537620618She's gone lil bro, move on.
>>537620847how many women have you had sex with
>>537620737>They literally gifted the dev a girl vtuber avatar for streaming so they can set off his AGP.it's over...
>>537620809Uh thanks? I don't really understand the second half of your sentence, you shouldn't stress so much over nonsense
I have to go to work in 4 hours :/
I'm just gonna complete my assets. They may be fucking garbage trash retard shit but actually finishing them and putting them in the game is gonna teach me more.
>>537621014but if i say anything im an antisemitic chudcel
this will be me in 5 hoursif only I had just one box to deal with IRL : ([
>>537621343god godot is so shit
>>537621426Its Unity dipshit
>>537621269Give us a look then m8
>>537621465yeah its you in 5 hours switched from godot lmao
>>537620558What's ur game you imagined (promise I won't steal it?)
>>537621269What do you mean by "not competing them"? Like leaving bad normals in some models and animated models having poor rigging?I'll let you in on a secret: 90% of games won't care about that. If the entire scene looks good as a collective, then it's good enough.
>>537621583I could easily rip your entire face off IRL
>>537620047I'm looking for 3D animators on Fiverr and 90% of the offers look like scams. Is this normal?Either way here's some fast food props for our not-Fallout but with anthros
>>537621583>yeah its you in 5 hours switched from godot lmao
>>537621664>>537621810you are an infertile incel irl
how do we feel about the shartsong $20 pricing drama? i wish i could ignore it but i have seen shartdew cultists compare every new farming game to the pricing point of shartdew despite its 11 years of dev by over 20 people working at concernedape LLC including incredibly the talented podunkianthis is on top of steam taking 30% before taxes and now we have to undercut our prices despite inflation because of pozzed normaltroons
>>537621893>infertileThank god, this way I can drop fat nuts in your sisters uterus without worrying about child support
system shock but good
>>537616419>>537616982Great recs, bros
>>537621956who would ever want to have sex with a loser like you?
>>537621985System shock... BUT WITH AI VOICE ACTING!
>>537621784post the anthros im begging
>>537621919You're free to set the price however you please, the customer will make a quality assessment based on word of mouth and the material he has available. If someone would rather play a decade year old game than yours then that's honestly on you>>537622047About 25 women so far
>>537622115the customer is a retarded histrionic pig toughi dont trust its judgment
>>537621634Baldur's gate-like set in ancient transylvania
My one fren from uni (before I dropped out) called. It's going for 2.5 hours and I've wanted hang up for the past hour. I'm mentally exhausted bros. I'm too autistic to end the conversation and get exhausted from social interaction. Fuuuuck I hope he hangs up soon.
>>537621919QRD?is $20 of skillissue good or bad? are they saying it should only be $20, or are they saying $20 is too much? Or is it just gamedevs going reee $20 is too little don't give them thatAnd also explain the stardew. Is stardew valley cheap or expensive? Are people saying why are other games so expensive compared to cheap stardew valley, or why is stardew valley so expensive compared to cheap other games?
Why does agdg love Baldur's gate so much? Even before bg3 was even announced it was the most quintessential agdg dream game with Morrowind.
>>537622173The customer doesn't owe you anything. A creator's duty is to express their vision, if anyone decides to support them the only response should be gratitude
>>537622234just tell him you're tired you'll have to talk later (like, speak that into the headset) while slowly pulling it away from you and holding it out at arms length, then say out louder so it can pick it up byeee and hit the red phone button. You don't need to hear his reply.
baldur's gate-like but it's scifi
>>537622291Because it's a good game.
>>537621784Fiverr is like contracting in general. Always been full of shitters and scammers, but now they can AI enough bullshit that it takes more effort on your end to recognize what they are
>>537622283Shartdew has cultists who will negatively review new farming game with essentially saying "why would I buy this when I can buy the hollywood eceleb nepobaby's harvest moon clone for x". It's disgusting behavior but they're literal cultists kinda like gacha players (for a fucking mid farming game).
>>537622106Sure, here's the customizable races we have atm: canine, feline, rodent, reptile. Will add monke next (I promised that to an anon here) but sometime in the future, not at the moment as we have other priorities, 4 customizable races should be enough choice for now
>>537622291I like how horny the setting is.
>>537622283silksong is priced at $20 which feels too little when you account for dev time and inflation but the devs are all multimillionaires already and can afford to tank the price which fucks over other devs because the retarded gamerpigs cannot think and will use that as a standard without looking at the entire story (game that was made during indie gold rush and snowballed and can afford to price that low)shartdew is the comparison reddit gamerpigs make when they review a farming game, if you dont have as much content and features as a studio made game like shartdew they will say hurrrr just buy shartdew insteadbasically the rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer
>he wants to earn a living by cloning genre staples instead of earnestly attempting to give players a fresh experience
>>537622734Gamers rejected VR (the final frontier of game development) They don't want new things
>>537622347Told him my battery was about to die and he ended the call.
>>537622839A fresh experience doesn't mean new technology, look how frictional games revived the horror genre. It didn't start with amnesia, penumbra was heartfelt attempt to put the player somewhere new. If you like farming or metroidvanias or gamble slop I think you should keep experimenting in those genres but they've all recently hit their peakHonestly I know a few genres that I'd like to see fulfilled and I hope nobody beats me too it (they will I'm slow as fuck)
>>537622584ahh i hate that shit. we gotta focus and lock in.>>537623027ah good. used to have same problems but now often I just talk to the phone saying I have to go to the bathroom and put it down on my desk (not on speaker phone) and just leave it there.
Y'all niggas ain't ready
>>537622734>make something new>nobody cares, game falls into obscurity>devs with lots of money copy your formula with better assets>they make bank
Always try to remember the way you felt as a child getting your mind blown by the new ways your virtual avatar could *be* ina virtual world
the only way to make it is to make 10 practice games of different genres just for the sake of learning and nothing else, before attempting your dream game
>>537623439Absolutely, build momentumMake a gigagame. Anon-studios extended universe
>>537623392I don't think that there are actually good developers lurking around stealing people's ideas. Opportunists tend to just go straight for whats already selling
What is it about dungeons that's so compelling?
Pic-related is somewhat of a noob trap.While it rings true for using placeholder assets, newbies will burn out writing lazy code due to incurring technical debt.
>>537622734you can definitely clone and give a fresh experience if you make it unique enough
Anons trying to be original would make Infiniminer not Minecraft.
>>537623989It's technically possible but its an uphill battle. If that's your passion you should do it but you shouldn't cry if people compare your game to its contemporaries
>>537623392>>make something new>>nobody cares, game falls into obscurity>>devs with lots of money copy your formula with better assets>>they make bank
>>537623942I think noobs should just go all in and write the lazy code and incur a ton of technical debt. When you are new you just have to make a ton of mistakes to learn from, as long as you are doing a lot you will improve. Biggest noob trap is creating mental barriers like needing "clean code" or whatever else. Progress rate is everything
>>537620268Oh yeah well my entire game is ai slop
>>537622349Baldur’s gate but everyone is forest creatures and with Genshin combat mechanics
>>537624157
>>537624153In that case, they should be prepared to view their projects as throwaway projects.
>>537620850I am still waiting for any proof of that, anons posting "tranny game" whenever he posts doesn't cut it
>>537624153Discouragement is a bitch.

>make sprites for game>they're ok>animations are jank though>make 3d model to render sprites instead>animations are still jank but at least they'll be consistently jank>import preview render for side by side comparisonsoul vs soulless
>>537624431The content within the game proves it enough
>>537625303okay, but what content, cos I missed it
>>537625391Out of place anime girls for one, yumme nikki and maid outfits, female protagonist in a first person game.If those don't convince you, There's this "chest wrappings" item in the game that trannys often use, and also the weird yuri undertones between the main character and the underage girl neighbor.The devs swear that there's none of that in there, but I personally don't buy it. Also, dialogue filled with internet writing (think how people talk on twitter) and memes. There might be some other small stuff I missed.
>>537625189I don't mind the right. Reminds me of Mario RPG
you wouldnt even get the cards im playing right now and the thought process
Bitch I fuck you in ass real hard
>>537625916watch your profanity
>>537581246people already have nostalgia for things like skyrim, lmaothe latest elder scrolls game
>>537626365To be fair, Skyrim was 14 years ago. If you were 15 years old when Skyrim came out you are one year away from being 30.
>Should I paste the fully updated script including all of the modifications so that you can easily copy and paste it?Yes, thanks ChatGPT.
>>537625663Agree to disagree, I guess. None of this convinces me and only makes me think you've succumned to >you like this cool thing? you can't like it, it belongs to trannies now, it's theirsSorry, I just don't think playing No One Lives Forever made people autogynophyliac
>>537626710In isolation one of those things doesn't necessarily make you a troon. But all factors added up, it starts to raise eyebrows.I'm sorry you got groomed by transgenderists.
>>537626775shit I meant to post this hereImma weldin' my vertices
I added an firebomb item that lets you burn trees efficiently.
>>537626365>people have nostalgia for culturally significant games that weren't absolute shit and/or microtransacrion cashcowsShocking.Nobody will have nostalgia for Starfield
>>537622115>25fucking your hand doesnt count
Caught a cold/flu. Had a dream where I collected telemetry from a soulslike game.I had to watch players pass control points counting them. Time was going slower when player approached control point.When I woke up there was no power and my smart speaker did not wanted to talk to me because no internet.
Skyrim is now almost as old as the N64 was when Skyrim first came out. Stop acting like your too special to have nostalgia.
>>53762756325 - my_hand still makes 24 so I got you beat
>>537626565yet people still refer to it a lot and I haven't really played any games more modern than it, so it feels recent to meI barely played it too so I still need to get around to that. maybe. possibly. not sure
>>537627603the difference is that a billion things changed between the N64 and Skyrim, while fucking nothing has happened between Skyrim and now and in fact things are only decaying
>>537627184i hope the game is a placeholder
>>537627603What an absurd difference in output in the video game industry between those two periods though
>>537627616neither does your tulpas or men i dresses
>>537627716I like those graphics overall besides the head-and-shoulders player sprite
>>537627705If you can't see why that's happening you are a retard and nodev

I'm pretty good at art, and I've made several tiny 2D games in Unity, now I want to try to make some money on gamedev and the way I see it I have two options >dedicate 6-12 months to a small project and hope it pops off based on the art and collect sales money onceor>start a huge ambitious project and hope to make smaller sums of perpetual money on monthly Patreon donations>if I finish it 4-5 years down the line I get to collect sales money as wellI'm more inclined towards the latter but I don't know how people feel about funding games that are guaranteed to come out in 4-5 years minimum
>>537628781As long as you show steady good progress with solid foundation and wont go radio silent you should be good

How did y'all come up with your dev name? Is it lame to just take the name of your first game and add "dev" to the end?

>>537620485At this point gamedev is the portal for all my other hobbies. Programming, astronomy, architecture, a couple foreign languages. It's so easy to manifest other hobbies in gamedev. Then when people ask what I do I only mention the other hobbies in isolation...
making a space game is starting to be autisticI need to detect the floor to attach the player/boots accurately so I need to measure the distance on the last frames, get a raycast, tilt it to face where the velocity is going and on the last frame get the contact point and put the player thereat least horrorslop needs to little content programming
>>537631864maybe I can detect the player col hitting the floor instead and change statesthat's smarter

I'm just trying to have fun......
>>537639546Where's the woodpecker then?
>>537639546This is one of the biggest noob traps. It's only fine if you're fine with this game going nowhere
>>537637643Thanks, it should work. It's a cozy word puzzle game. I'll have to play it with the new music and see how it works
>>537639546I spent 4 hours writing a 40 second guitar solo for my soundtrack, but I have all my gameplay finished already...
>>537639546Why does the screenshot say (You) in that post I did not make that post
here's some placerholder menu/stage select music for anyone that wantshttps://vocaroo.com/1jEqPJKycQz1
>>537639546>I'm just trying to have fun......Sometimes gamedev isn't fun. There are many sucky chores and tasks that just need to grinded out because they're important. If you only focus on what is fun then you won't make a game, you'll make a failed project. At best maybe you'll be able to scavange together an asset pack that you can throw up on an asset store so somebody else can make a game because they don't get so easily distracted.
>>537639546Don't type like that. That said, if you just want to have fun then go for it. Some of the retards in these threads have never had any amount of success in life and as a result develop an obsession with it even in what should be leisure activities.
>>537638005Looks great
gamedev sucks ass

ChatGPT only saves time in regards to programming by outsourcing the process of actually writing the code for you. If you want high quality bug-free results, you'll end up needing to end up writing essay-length prompts, covering every possible edge case for your requirements, lest you spend more time debugging the results that it would have taken to just write the code yourself. It saves time if you're not extremely familiar with the language you're writing code in, but arguably requires even more effort. The level of understanding you'll need to fully cover the possible points of conflict your code might encounter, and to specifically account for these points in your prompt to ensure they are covered, means that in order for you to prevent the LLM output from causing problems, you need to fully plan out on paper or process your requirements in your head before writing your prompt.It's a useful tool, but not nearly as "easy" as it may seem for anything of non-trivial complexity. It feels like a trap to become excessively reliant on LLMs for writing code. You'd likely be better off writing the code yourself, establishing breakpoints in the code for you to test your features and iterate further upon.You can not one-shot any major problem in your codebase with a simple prompt.The effort required to solve problems is equal across all methods of achieving your desired result. With LLMs, you need thorough prompts. With hand-written code, you need thorough iteration and testing.It's all the same. The only difference is, with an LLM, you don't need deep familiarity with the language you're using. With hand-written coding, you still need to read the documentation to understand the methods you'll be using.It really is a marginal time-saver at best, at the cost of increased concentrated effort per task. The difficulty of achieving the end result is identical.You still need to know exactly what your code is doing. The benefits are likely largely overhyped.
>>537622584Dude no one is going to think any of that. They're going to think silksong is dropping it's 20 inch futadong on the table of the surrounding triple AAAs like Nintendo demanding 80-90 dollars for a game you don't even own. Hornet will take most selling game of the year. China will forget gacha exists for a whole month and triple a devs will slink away in embarrassment.
>>537621014as a yuri hater i want to thank "transbians" for absolutely ruining it, no straight male can defend yuri anymore
>>537642925Wow you make me feel great about vibe coding.
>>537642328I can see that for food, but rent?The only "work" landlords so is collect the money at the end of the month.
>>537643171Ear gauges, tattoos, Junji Ito shirt, but is too good for armpits? Terrible comic.
>>537643176It still depends on your quality expectations. I assume you can easily slap together a hacky solution through vibe coding, but if you want to ensure your code is still solid, the effort ends up being relatively equal compared to conventional coding. The main benefit I noticed from ChatGPT is that it effectively replaced StackOverflow as a method of discussion potential procedures for uncommon requirements. Otherwise, you'll still need to read the documentation to know what new methods or variable types might be doing in your code.It's like you go from a manual coder, to a code manager. Weird to describe.
>>537643171As a tranny who likes Yuri I can tell you for a fact that Yuri was always hated in the west loudly. Waifu fags in the west and east are different. In the east there's no conflict. In the west Yuri is considered waifu ntr. And it's common in idolshit in order to titillate. Not everyone hated Yuri but it's certainly more accepted than it's ever been in the past. No thanks to us troons thoughever. Nowadays the people who hate Yuri love to see the over troons but ultimately while there's overlapp I think they're just reaching for the lower hanging fruit and everyone would go back to cuck seething and what counts as homosexuality or not if troons 41% collectively tomorrow
>>537643442armpitchuds are in the normalfag oppression wrongthink zone just like feetfags were a few years ago
>>537642121Hobbies like gamedev are a privilege for erudite patricians (people who either have their shit together) or for rambling hermits and madmen (neets who completely gave up on having their shit together) Minimum wagie hand-to-mouth proles should focus on financial security and bettering themselves, gamedev is not a reliable way to make money, you're not going to release a game and make $50 million
>>537642925Chatgpt. Write me a script that will call data from a spread sheet to populate my games crpg menus. Wala. Just build really simple algorithms. Work within your means is easy if you are a codelet. The real pain point for me is shaders animation and environment hooks.
i was kinda unsure on my execution of this game, but after polishing it its really shiningi like it alot,
>>537644164Show the code it generated and post it working in your game.AI fags never do this because they have no game.
>>537644164Do you really need ai to make a script that fetches data from a file?
>>537644164the real issue isnt the code to call data, its managing the data and calling it in the right places - without making sphagetti code. AI cant do that for you.
>>537644456Good luck, wastelandbro. Hoping that publisher carries its weight with marketing.
its another episode of flopdev from 'cord pretending they better than claude code
Game idea?
Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 700 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY
>>537644456It does look interesting.
>>537644969What do you think claude was trained on?
>>537622584>silksong is priced at $20 which feels too little when you account for dev time and inflationWhy do you guys think you know better than the developers what the game is worth? Maybe they just casually spent 4 hours a day working on their game in between trips to Bora Bora and Thailand since they're rich and got better things to do than rush to get a video game out.
>>537645041>mummy>not a mummy>is actually a mommygreat for pun based game also>medieval>mummygod I love pixelshitters
>>537644685NTA anon, but I use GPT a lot to help with Godot coding. An example is I can describe an NPC character I want, and it can generate 90% of the code for me based on the class file I have uploaded, and examples for it to follow. This works for pretty much anything that you have a base class for, and many slightly unique implementations.
>>537642925people using chatgpt to make games only increase the competition against me and dilute the market so even if I disagree with you it's not worth arguing over it, if anything I don't anybody using chatgpt for coding other than me.
>>537645248I've heard about this before, using AI to fill out a template. It sounds like a problem that could be solved by having default values or a better creation tool.

Added some additional buttons to the UI, as it turned out many people wanted "F2" or "F3" functionality but didn’t know of these "common" keybinds. Putting a number on those buttons also seems useful. Gonna perhaps a juice it up a bit with letting them blink green when they rise, yknow.Also managed to find at least one hang-up bug today, was an issue with Windows dropping the "Surface" and it needs to be recreated. Still no idea how to catch VRAM OOM issues, tried some specific functionality but still crashing the system way too hard.
>>537647112Actually deranged, but I respect the effort

Nobody cares about you as a gamedev unless you become a niche Internet celebrity like Eric, and it remains to be seen how well he does with his second game.

>>537656603no need to expose yourself like that
>>537644834Correct. Scale the system and be surprised at how easy it is for an overlooked or illegible component to completely ruin functionality. It's not as easy as it seems to just have the chatbot do everything for you. The mental effort required to wrangle the LLM into optimal functionality requires just as much, if not more, cognitive focus as coding large systems by hand. It's easy to pump out small scripts, but to ensure the entire codebase works still requires you to use your brain. There's much more to game programming than inserting JSON data into a modular dialogue system. I guess this is a perfect example of the difference between coding and system design.>forget to mention edge case in prompt>AI spits out unfeasible code>entire script becomes an unintelligible mess>most amateur programmers won't even be aware of the cause of the problem>spend hours trying to fix it with even more prompts>script becomes even worse>need to revert to original script implementation>4 hours wasted>mental fatigue accrued>task still unaccomplished>settle for hacky solution>3 months later>hack solution backfires>need to refactor multiple scripts to compensate>grand productivity sum: 0Be careful with prompting.

>>537657139Yes. My struggles with LLM-assisted programming came from earlier development scenarios. I learned what works best, and adapted. I don't have these problems any more. I post this because I can see other young developers very easily fall into this mistake and waste huge amounts of time.>well if generating these basic scripts was so easy, surely making a game with AI code will be just as simple!No. Not at all. Plan ahead. Learn programming. Don't assume the chatbot will handle architecture design for you just as easily as it handled basic script generation.Or, don't. Learn the hard way. Waste time. It's up to you.

>>537660907I've found that this is the only place where people will leave genuine criticism. They might be mean about it but they usually make some good points
>>537661536looks like mobile/tablet slopgood luck
Are you worried people won't like your game? Are you scared of criticism? Of negative words?Accept this. It is inevitable. Make the game you'll be proud of. Not everybody's going to like it. That's okay. Don't worry.Don't let the fear of unpleasant emotions drive you to madness. That causes significantly more harm than benefit in the long run.Stop obsessing over miniscule details in hopes that the boogeyman you've conjured in your imagination will critique the outcome if you otherwise ignore these elements.Finish your game. It will be flawed. It will be imperfect. This is expected.Settle on a final build, and release it. See what happens. Reflect on the process, and do what you think is best for the next one.It's an iterative process. You will never achieve perfection. Stop being scared of being told that somebody doesn't like your game.Accept what comes, learn, and adapt.You're digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole of despair the more you worry about strangers on the internet critiquing something you though was good.You're different people. You are not them, they are not you. It's unavoidable to receive negative feedback, even if it feels excessive, unproductive, or cruel.Ignore this, and continue to do what you believe takes you further down the correct path.Have fun working on your game today.
