sometimes i feel like i will never be good enough, should i just quit gamedev?
Osursissies... did we lose?
>>537887409having to be good at something is a modern invention. our prehistoric ancestors were content to live in caves and hit rocks together. be glad you aren't living in some primitive backward period in history or that you don't live in india.
>>537887463The moment they start realizing it's not a meritocracy and it's already been oversaturated will be so delicious
Which of these two UI layouts works better?
can you at least try to be nice to me
>>537888029were you ever nice to me?
>>537888007there's no money in rpgmaker unless it's pornstop
>>537888007>4 niggas in a row
>>537888029i will try, i have no reason not to be nice to you>>537887958okay but this doesn't have anything to do with gamedev, although, yes, i do want to do what's impossible, and yes, it hurts that i can't, i was so motivated before the reality sank in.
5 niggas in a circle
8 trans niggas in a discord server jerking each other off even tho their games are mid
>>537886067>>537887128Every game i love is either made with an in house engine or source engine. Ill entertain the idea of using one of the popular engines AFTER i play a game that has good movement made with one. That hasnt happened yet.
>>537888654Glad she had a nice day
>>537888876shut up retard
>>537888876Actually no, i changed my mind, id rather be tortured to death than use an engine>>537888965Projecting because you cant code good movement?
>>537889038no just tired of listening to you beg for someone to wipe your ass for you
Eating "healthy" has been sabotaging my gamedev. It's bad for the soul.My creative output and motivation and drive have increased dramatically since I started enjoying good food. And by good food I mean very bad very tasty food.But that's because (I)'m motivated by food. Whatever (You)r vices are and whatever you're wasting your energy resisting every day, try indulging in them and see if they will help you make a better game or at least make gamedev better even if the game will be the same flop it would have been in any case.
>>537889069Im not doing that. But you are clearly angry and projecting because you cant write code at all little enginlet, go back to having tim do every bit of real work for you, your lego set game is gonna be soooo epic right?
>>537888654The stand-up app looks more exciting than the game she's working on.
You boys ready for DD?
>>537888876>Ill entertain the idea of using one of the popular engines AFTER i play a game that has good movement made with one. That hasnt happened yet.Pseudoregalia was made in unreal.

>>537888654turns out that's how you get 20 reviews in the first month after 6 years of development.
>>537889921Should have made a game that people actually want to play
>>537889213You said in the last thread all you've done is make a box move around on screen, and it goes diagonal faster because you're not normalising it. You're living proof that the loudest most obnoxious spergs in the thread are retarded nodev tourists
>>537889921>>537890007that studio made a 2000+ review game in 2016, 160 review game in 2021 and a 20 review game in 2025.just in case some of you think gamedev is like a RPG where you just make progress. chances are your first game will be your most successful game. that's how much skills and experience and fanbases are worth.
>>537889709>be woman>make a game called dickhead>game is about trying to get achievement points for the biggest dick head scorewhy isnt this your million copies sold indie game?
>>537890192Should have made a game that people actually want to play

>>537889089I can't eat chocolate, I don't want to poison that dog in me.
>>537889709so am i, but the question remains, are you ready for demo day? if we both make it it's unironically a victory for feminism, or at least for me it is
>>537890192>>537889921shouldnt be particularly surprising if you just look at the games, even after watching the trailer for the most recent one i have basically no idea what the game is about. it just looks like their goal was to make a "co-op game" with no further vision than that
>>537890186>i take the pre made character controller lego and connect it to the pre made 3rd person camera lego and connect it to the pre made physics engine lego and connect it to the pre made npc lego ans connect it to the pre made interactable object lego and...Ive made almost nothing and you have made less than me.

/v/3guy here.Before we start the next season of the show and start accepting submissions for the December show (which I am not running), I want to know what you'd like to see from us going forward so I can take the feedback to the other organizer for his show, and use that for the next summer. All genuine criticisms and suggestions will be considered.
>>537890602comfy life, enjoy it while it lasts
>>537890602same. I'm 39
>>537890754why is there a december anyway? isnt the joke that its the spiritual successor to e3? why have two? if theres gonna be a 2 make it have a different theme than v3
>>537890635who are the billion niggas playing my demo and following my shit?
>>537890186What is your game again? oh right it's hollow knight silksong
>>537890953figs of your imaginationjust like the dates you're going on
>October 2024>see Steam promoting horror games for Halloween>”I should make a small horror game for next Halloween, that would be a fun beginner project”>September 2025>still haven’t started
>>537890947>why is there a december anyway?We got enough people saying that they didn't like the summer show/wanted a more serious show and we're upset they didn't make it to the summer show that we opened up a second winter show. Believe it or not, there was enough devs who participated to where we feel it's ok to run this.>isnt the joke that its the spiritual successor to e3?Initially it was but now it's kinda become it's own thing which is why it's not "/v/3" but rather "v3expo". That and Nazis.>if theres gonna be a 2 make it have a different theme than v3Yeah the summer themes are different than winter. For example, the winter show will be Christmas themed while next summer will be Vaporware Beach themed. Plus the winter show is more focused and significantly less jokey than summer.
mr tentacles is in
>>537891309I meant vaporwave beach themed. My bad.
>>537891467fuck off innercircler
>>537891309>that and nazisare you banning chud games or something? I'm in development hell so i never tried to apply>themeno i dont mean topic i mean branding. like how japan/nintendo had spaceworld.
>>537890583Nobody cares how hard you work to make something, only that the thing you make is good and all the time you spend reinventing wheels that other people have made better than you ever coupe, the less time you get to actually make games. Yeah I'm going to use a "premade physics engine lego" because I don't want to implement highly performant GJK convex polygon collision detection in C, I want to make a game.Also why are you using the raylib premade lego set? Write your own Vulkan renderer, why are you using a premade compiler written by someone else? Make your own programming language. Why you using a premade operating system? Pathetic.Unless you're Terry A Davis shut the fuck up
>>537891223haha its not like my games theme is a tie in to that or anything haha.
>>537891530>are you banning chud games or somethingNo no not like that at all. When you looked up /v/3 on Google you couldn't find us but you could find a Nazi prototype super weapon called "v3" which is why we rebranded.>ThemeThe other one is technically just "The /v/erdict" so that's our different name for it. It's played off like a newscast
what ever happened to alchemikal?
>open unity>realize how much time setting up enemy ai will take>realize it makes zero money>close it and never open it againthis is me on gamedev
>>537891760I think it should be /v/3xpothat will make it leet, identifiable in a search engine, and cringe all at once.
>>537890754>I want to know what you'd like to see from us going forwardHET
bought a dev kit to fuck around with, have to wait a couple of days for it to arrive. then I can get a switch dev kit later on
>>537891838he betrayed us and was raped in the ass

Is it just me or are people talking about the inner circle alot today, Why is that happening?
>>537886904Why do you keep putting this chris chan tier garbage in the OP? No one is laughing lil bro, I miss fygoon threads ngl
>>537892152>how are you doing today fellow hardworking honest devs
>>537892152demoday is tomorrow and innercircle games will DOMINATE
>yes im a solo game developer how could you tell?
>>537887409your thoughts are not your ownyou do not "feel" like you will never be good enough, hyperdimensional beings plant that idea inside your head for amusementonly option is to persist
>ask any question on chatgpt>"An excellent question to ask! Now we're getting into the subtle details on the classic and well-understood challenges of playing instruments through farts using 4D vector math. This is otherwise known as the [bold]Rasterized 4-Dimensional Flatulence-Propelled Instruments Problem.[/bold]"
>>537891467Looks cool
The inner circle has hacked 4chan.Every time you post in this thread 4chan installs a botnet node on your computer. The inner circle will activate this botnet during demoday to inflate their members' games popularity. Watch out for games being downloaded and played on your pc without your knowledge, if you are not vigilant you could end up with a copy of (A)woken on your computer.

BETTER MAKE SOME REDDIT SELF DEPRECATING SATIRE IM SURE PEOPLE WILL LIKE US equivalent of jews doing "da joos" bit, just face the consequences of your actions you tried to make /agdg/ an apartheid gamedev community with a caste system so it's not surprising everyone hates you /agdg/ should be a meritocracy, no hugboxing your 'cord erp buddies, no crabbing devs you dont know or get threatened by because of their GMI aura
>>537892891They can't post it here because it doesn't exist.
>>537892814(a)woken isn't bad, despite the guy's self deprecation.
>>537892891I use AI and discourage others from using it. You'd be wise to do the same. the less of them using it the better your chances are.
>>537893142If this post is sincere I agree 100%
I’m glad i’m not so called game dev. I’m an artist
The guy constantly spamming the thread with his “inner circle” shit is clearly underaged, right?
>>537893203Nice try inner circle shill
>>537893050>the game used to hold a 1/5 rating, because it was broken and didn't work>but ever since he's done literally no work on it, it just got more popular because of another game, suddenly now the game is actually 4/5 and very goodLesson learned, make something popular. If something is popular, it's good. Popularity = Good, even if it's bad, it's still good if it's popular.
The Inner Circle Should Be Exterminated
>>537892726you can tell it to talk to you in any way you want
>>537893142>>537893234I agree but to be clear, inner circle doesn't mean all yesdevs, it only means devs I don't like.
>>537893087fake. sunglasses and polarized screens don't mix
Imagine being a game dev hard working gamedev at jobby
>>537893282I’d prefer to believe he’s under aged rather than a grown man so mentally stunted that he types like a child who just learned what online trolling is
What do you do when you can't find the energy to make any progress, even small progress? I guess I'm depressed but I don't feel sad. I just feel a neurological-level inability to do anything I need to do
>>537893495The inner circle is a very specific group of clique-obsessed faggot devs who can't take criticism and support each other on the basis of being friends while undermining and suppressing all other games no matter how good they are. They are antithetical to the spirit of /agdg/ because this is supposed to be a hobby community, therefore the most important thing should be your work, not your spamming of funny images or derailing the thread because you're bored/horny/depressed

>>537892995If its not possible in those engines then it won't be possible in your engine. There's nothing about other game engines that prevents you from building good character movement. But there are things stopping you from building good character movement if you write your own engine. Things like:>needing to write an fbx or glb model importer>needing to write a 3d model animation system. >needing to write a physics engine with arbitrary convex polygon collision detection>needing to write an audio system>needing to write a particle system >needing to write a level editorAll before you can actually write your character controller because part of good movement is good feedback and visuals, and making a box move around isn't going to get you there.Youre trying to start building a pyramid from the top.

>>537873771that's a good idea actually, get around all the voices sounding the same by using different people for different voices.

>>537893142agdg IS a meritocracy. If your game failed it's because it's a bad game, not because the inner circle is out to get you. Hell, the inner circle proves the meritocratic nature of agdg. Despite their concentrated efforts of the inner circle to promote their own, the bad inner circle games continue to fail to get attention on agdg anyways.The world is perfectly just. Bad games always fail, good games always succeed.

And your old burner laptop from ebay for $100? no longer can even play a basic godot game, complains about GFX api. run it with an arg to bypass? visuals are just an empty skybox horizon, none of the game assets are visible even the UI is missing. Viruses must be spreading worse than ever before I'd say...>>537895541yeah pretty much, also, its filled with other devs who themselves barely even play games. give a basic game that does so-so to the general public, will be COMPLETELY ignored in this thread because guys making their own game have absolutely no time for mediocre mid games, for the most part only games with stealable mechanics or undeniable juice and appeal will get any traction. But a concerted schizo can still spam posts and replies about a game he has a personal boner on and fake its popularity, it wouldn't take much. thread probably doesn't have that many unique posters after all.
>>537896154oh? that's crazy, where is the game then since AI is making it?i make the game design, art, write the story and dialogue, AI is just a codemonkey and i wouldn't even use it if programmers weren't the laziest and most unreliable members of any collab, trust me i tried

>>537895919that's easy>Acrolyte>Ctesiphon>Ninja Game>Shanghai Gold>Illusive Domainfrom the top of my head. There's more like Moku, Deadwire, Cosmic Construct, Landsword, Eastern Flower and plenty more. What you fail to understand is that Blorb and Gobario were short learning projects from devs that one day showed up and tried their damnest to have something ready for demoday in like a month. I wouldn't call Nortubel popular, it has a meme status because dev was posting lore and his drawings all the time while also being very chill. From these games I'd say that only Awoken brings real weight - big levels, mech fighting, different weapons, everything modelled in 3D. It's impressive even though I'm not into mecha games. I also don't understand why you hate Cosmic Call so much. Yea, it's a simple arena shooter roguelike with very basic graphics but at least dev finished his project, sold couple of copies and moved on to another project (also memeworthy)

>>537895919the driving game. the busted metal or w/e its called. that one was fun. and I also liked that magic girl roguelite against the floors of terrorists thought that could be cool. and those crappy mspaint VNs with the bluehair phonegirl those are pretty interesting to me. I kinda like the aesthetic of dreams of joy departed as well but the gameplay style is a bit too boring to me I only played like 45 min of that and not too interested to play more unironically I'd rather watch a streamer play it than play it myself lmao

>>537897101i disagree with your assessment, games without game design or art arent games while you can make games without programming (visual scripting, blueprints, rpgmaker, renpy, etc)you must be new to gamedev, welcome

>>537897341th-thanks
I would respect a lot of you if you had any integrity or wisdom or talent or enthusiasm or a soul or even an interesting game concept that just hasn't been fully realized yet, but you have none of those things. I cannot stand you deformed creatures of evil. You're not human beings deserving of dignity or respect. I haven't even seen any basic intelligence like the one you would see in a dog.
>>537897341Game dev is an autism magnet, so it's hard to tell if you're talking to neckbeards or to children.
>>537897341Too many NEETs think that gamedev is the equivalent of a lottery ticketWhen they realize that gamedev is a lot of work they stop trying but stay here and pollute the place.

Just get a job at McDonald's and pay a voice actor.
>>537898354=VwV=
>>537898286Not a mistake, I think I basically rediscovered the reasons why we use chords today instead of freeflowing shit like in the baroque.Chords are just shortcuts to write stuff.A chord can function as the guideline to write stuff like the high melody voice, the bass, the root pad.It's basically like a very condense form of the 4 baroque voice writing.I can literally talk now for like 30 minutes from just a single jazz chord.
This general actually died when Underspace flopped and everyone turned on Trainwiz. If that game couldn't hit 1k in it's first month then who else from agdg could?That was the day the crabs won
what do you use for writing down tasks beyond the one you're currently working on? I've tried a dedicated paper and pencil book and I've tried obsidian, but they are both too disorganized for me once I made many notesI think the book was the best so far because I'd do a little [ ] empty box to the left of stuff and tick it if i done it or cross the whole line out if I canceled itdo any use kanban stuff? how do you find it?

>>537897341I'm one of them. I've tweaked my game probably 20 times to make it easier to understand, and not one of the changes has helped in any capacity.Actually 70% of these changes were from feedback so my game is like a kaleidoscope where everyone has their own hyper specific issue that they also don't want me to know about.

Is it possible to make a compelling game out of this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKWLu6UHryQThe video got almost 7 million views ($20-25k in ad revenue) so there's got to be something appealing that can be turned into a game.
>>537899526I'm just using the one that comes with self hosted gitlab, only just started so dunno if its actually going to work good though
You wanna know what the funniest thing about the "post your game" schizo is? You can just tell from the way he posts he's just feverishly salivating at the mouth for a chance to smear someone's game. He thinks he's so clever but his tactics are transparent as air. As long as nobody posts his game the assumption is that the posters posting outrageous things are someone with a shit game that's completely unimportant, so he thinks he has the advantage. If someone dares to post his game, the better the game is the better it will be for the schizo because then he can say "I knew it, you have the wrong opinions so now I will dedicate my life to spamming this everywhere" because you just know that he hates some of the more successful yesdevs and is just waiting for the devs to "expose themselves" as unfriendly chuds so he can act righteous about hating the game the entire time.This always was and always will be about you seething crabs hating some of the games and looking for an excuse to tear down the devs. You need to bring us to your level because you have nothing else. You feel fine being at the bottom because you got nothing to lose, but love dragging the people who have everything to lose because that's the only way you can feel powerful and important
>>537900964im sure you could make some simulator slop like that job simulator one and make bankjust make it hard to control so it makes a mess of things for le streamer content and let people spit in the burgersnow i think about it, you could combine it to a papersplease-like where you deliberately make shitty burgers for people you dont like
>>537897341It's delusional NEETs hoping they can dump their passion project randomly onto Steam with zero pre-emptive business strategy and get rich. This rarely happens. They view it as a lottery ticket because they treat it like a gamble. The serious developers treat the process like a professional business, and their results align with their effort.I can't imagine being willing to devote years of your life towards making a game in hopes of getting rich, without putting any effort into ensuring this result will occur. It's foolish, and reeks of a spoiled manchild taking advantage of the freedom of his youth.When their games inevitably fail, and they need to find a job or end up homeless, working 40+ hours per week will make them regret not treating this pursuit with more respect.If you're not willing to do market research and confirm an audience exists for your game before you spend years working on it, at least try to develop and audience on the side while developing it. Please. You're wasting the most valuable years of your life on delusional art projects. This is not wise.
>>537898783>I think the book was the best so far because I'd do a little [ ] empty box to the left of stuff and tick it if i done it or cross the whole line out if I canceled itI do this. I use wikidpad though, it's like Wikipedia for your project

I can't believe silksong is ONLY $20!!!! I WOULD PAY $100!!!! :(__)

I feel like the pajeet nodevs are beginning to be filtered these past few threads. They now revolve around posting wall of texts (that i will not give (You)s) like an actual tranny making a meme, because they are desperate of having our attentions.Keep it up boys. Post progress and actual discussions, and ignore those parasites. You will all make it, while they will legit kill themselves
>>537900440i get that you want the background to be subdued and not add to visual noise so you might (?) not want to normal map it, but maybe parallax layers or something, it kind of looks like those town mats that day cars have. or some carpet pattern.not sure how parallax on town would work, if you scroll the streets slower than the buildings then they wont line up eventually. you should def separate the over passes and scroll them slightly faster than the rest so that by the time they reach bottom screen the front walls are almost covered.maybe if each building was its own sprite object and you vertical scaled them shorter slightly as they go to the bottom. or maybe just some faint cloud cover that is clipped by buildings at mid height.Actually I think the queue that is really making it look flat is the fighter and option bits shadows. maybe ya can vertically offset the shadows based on what invisible polygon they are on, and you draw metadata polygons (like frame data) over the bg that scroll with it that say the "height" of the ground under it and offset them like that. Theres probably a way to do it with a shader (pass current position as a uniform) and a depth map.you could get photoshop, but the background in it, make a new layer, and get a fat brush, set layer to 50% trans, and paint red over roads and ground floor of buildings, green over highway, blue over the top half of buildings, then on the screen XY you put a shadow, use math to take in the scroll position of the BG for the corresponding BG XY, then use that XY to lookup the shadow offset map, and then based on the color at that position, shift the shadow +Y or -Y by a fixed amount, then the shadows would hop up and down over terrain and maybe it wouldn't look like a flat poster

>>537902129Are you putting any effort into ensuring the financial viability of your games? You'll probably fail if you don't. The wagecage awaits you if you don't take this seriously. You don't need to become soulless and abandon your passion, but you should put implement at least some conventional business procedures to ensure your games won't horrendously fail. The regret will haunt you forever. When you begin working, you'll have very little time or energy left to work on games. Treat this pursuit with respect.
>>537902475>blows into microphoneCool down!
>>537902502Just post devlogs on youtube, for each major progress you made. That way, even if your game's sale failed, at least there will be some revenue from YouTube
I'm in no position to judge. I'm no better than any fellow man. We all have our own unique struggles to contend against. Good luck to all of us.

>Silksong just released but there's one guy playing my game instead of thatyeah... I'm thinking GMI
>>537903034This phenomenon isn't exclusive to /agdg/. It's common across all indie dev communities.I understand that we can enjoy the process of making games without considering financial feasibility, but the time will come when you simply can't afford to do this any more, and if your passion is real, that moment will hurt.If you genuinely enjoy making games, it is imperative to try to ensure that you can continue to make games in the future. Accounting for effective revenue generation allows for this.Ask any former indie dev what happens when their games flop and they're forced to get a "real" job. The process dies.I'm just trying to account for the future. Maybe this is unwise.
My game will be a huge success on DD. People are going to praise it nonstop and be very excited about it!

>>537903602Yeah but what /agdg/ games do you have in mind? Do you even realize that making successful in-demand games necessitates taking an anti-business approach in the first place? This is a complex field. Nothing is clear cut. Treating games seriously has very little to do with business. Do you think that Team Cherry spent the last 8 years doing business planning?

I was in the thread on /v/ last night, anons argued that Cave Story should be GOTY in 2004. I played it and thought it was a neat little game for free but I wouldn't dare to call it GOTY material. When you think about it, that game is super small and has very little to offer in terms of mechanics or challenges, yet people are still praising it for what it is. When in doubt, always think that even something like Cave Story can have a cult following and your game surely can do better.

/agdg/ is dominated by a mafia that believes only a select handful of genres are interesting and important and everyone else can go fuck themselves. They believe they are right because they are together with other people like them and they think that gives them power. That's an echo chamber

>>537904964How do they "dominate" it?
>>537888654In a sane world this women would be the office dick sucker and nobody would have an issue with that.

https://voca.ro/137zPdgZWulAHonestly, this sounds amazing after 3 days of non stop writing melodies.100% proud of this one.Chris, I did it.I BTFO again agdg.
>>537903359Epic takes nothing up to 1 mil (outside the same 100 bucks license fee as steam) but setting up anything on it is a fucking chore and barely anyone uses it. I can't even imagine reaching that revenue over there but I believe it's worth diversifying
>>537910051Yeah and I said a serious competitor. Epic can't even develop a working games launcher or storefront that actually functionally works.
>>537909990>Chris, I did it.>I BTFO again agdgearly onset dementia symptoms moment
>>537910261yeah it ended up a self-BTFO
Hey aggy,Here's a sample of 3 story mode backgrounds that I've made so far. I'll have way more eventually, I'm getting the hang of it now. Soon I'll start working on the real story of the game.Keep at it lads.
>>537910261Cris is the gift that keeps on giving, I've taken multiple yearlong vacations from Aggy and every time I come back I find the same Crisposts with zero progress. The man's a time capsule.
>>537910261The importance of giving people reality checks instead of coddling them.
Whoa Koei this could get you canceled! Are gamedevs always this risky?!
>>537894409Any more examples of games like this? I'm looking for a game that I can make solo too.
>>537910469It doesn't work on cris
>>537910515insane how fucking lucky AAA devs are, imagine putting a steam page out that describes your game in such an empty mundane way

>>5379107633 examples off the top of my head
>>537905714Getting grant funding takes work. Instead of developing your game, you have to fill out paperwork and tick the right propaganda boxes.

>>537911271It clearly works
Can you fucking guys stop shitting on me for using AI voice? There's a financial issue, I literally can't pay people even if I have money, so stop bitching about it.

I wish I had friends to make games with.
>>537910051As someone who has released on both, Epic has a much more user friendly backend than Steam does.Steam's is an absolute nightmare to work with.
>>537913251Why not find some people to teamup with?
>>537913251Insane how they're red, perhaps, because they're the devil?
>>537913251You're an antisocial asshole and you tell every other talented dev to fuck off because he doesn't meet your autistic criteria

a game where you wrestle twinks
Remember to not submit your demo as soon as submissions open. A large flood of demos as soon as submissions open makes a bad first impression with players.
>>537914019>talk about stuff you're both kind of interested inThat's never happened to me.Every time I've had friends I feel like I'm just going along with what everyone else wants to do.
>>537912430You dont need to know. What you need to know is, you will make it if you focus on making your game

ragebait that doesnt tell you that reddit knight released at the apex of indie shartformers and got carried by the LE DARK SOULS IS LE BEST GAME EVER youtube shart movementall those 'dditors are right, dey just beat the odds because of circumstancial parameters beyond their doing (same with among us and covid btw), reddit knight is a less than 50 reviews game in a normal scenario
>>537916485reddit's crabs are even worse than this one, eventually the schizo dogshitters here leave to masturbate to illegal shit eventually, redditors fucking hate the idea of not getting the last word in
>>537916485They were right though.Game is mind-numbingly boring and mid.
>>537916739Well I think you're being hyperbolic, I do think you're right that the Dark Souls megawave carried a ton of games that otherwise wouldn't have been that successful.Namely Salt and Sanctuary, Thymesia, Ashen, etc.
Oh, the schizos are back.
>>537916739How do we respond to this without sounding extremely mad? Among us had a 5 players peak for months before the pandemic and lockdown, I guess luck is way more important than people say.Like seriously this post BTFO us bootlickers so hard.

>>537921045Sadly. I would've bought it day 1.
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.
>>537920379each or in total? That's very important, as 3 mln in 8 years is barely surviving in 1st world
>>537921582meds
>>537921118If nothing else why won't the guy just dump the whole thing online? It's understandable why he can't finish it. I think it's best for something like this to go public in at least some state instead of rotting away on some harddrive and eventually be lost forever.
>>537921124I'll do it but you have to make 20% front payment first, then pay in installments of 10% for every day it's present. I'm waiting for your donation.
>>537921786I doubt he even can because it's published/funded by 3d Realms.It wouldn't surprise me if the game was affected by the huge budget cuts they made last year.
>>537922087
Hollow Knight has amazing visuals.
>>537918730You know how Cities Skylines populations are horribly unrealistic? You know, a suburban house has 6 families in it while a 20 storet skyscraper has 12. Also how the timescale is completely fucked and agents will take literal in-game weeks to commute to work. Give me a city simulator with accurate numbers and nothing but spreadsheets, no need for a fancy 3D editable map, and I'll pay for your retirement.

It’s not fucking fair. I’m such a handsome guy but I’ll never have a fraction of the success Eric Barone has so it doesn’t even matter. Those middle aged women lusting over him on Reddit should be talking about me, damn it.
Is it a good or bad move to release a public beta demo? It's a limited scope version of my game like any other demo, but I'm still using placeholder art and sound effects for a lot of assets and there might be some bugs
>>537923840*Raises paw*Me! Me! Me!

>>537924173What is thy game little canine?
>>537923501that's no problem, by demo day 65 i'll make the first good dd game :p
>>537923501Demo Day was fine for like the first 10 or 20 iterations. I remember when I participated, prettysober was streaming for the first or second time, and DD was just a small thing going in the background. The thread didn't really revolve around it. At some point though a sort of satellite community formed around DD and it completely overtook the thread. You have people spamming about DD for a whole week before it happens, spamming the thread for all the days it's taking place, and then also spamming the thread for a week after it ended. And don't get me started on people who never participate in the thread but submit to DD anyway. Much like E3, the event completely lost its soul and thread itself got damaged in the crossfire.
>>537924256so? was just being honest with ya lil blud, dont go full yakubian on me now them chinese netizens are /pol/ tier shitposters as a baseline
>>537923879I get you're a retard but my point is, when I obviously know my game is gonna piss off the Chinese in one way or another, I don't think it's a good idea to translate it into chinky speak.
>>537924676and im telling you they dont care, they mock westoid propaganda and enjoy doing soyall can call me names but yall cant call me wrong, curious
>>537923098how do i please chinamen, but avert taiwaniggers?

Imagine being so unpleasant you get banned from a 4chan discord. Too retarded even for retards.
>>537925238see this is a textbook trick question, if you make a 'cord it instantly becomes reddit, so there is no such thing as a "4chan discord"nice try tough

>>537925661i honestly have no idea why i do what i do
>>537925406
>>537924482The fix to DD would be simple: ban resubmissions. You are only allowed to submit the same game to DD a single time, just like NextFest.
Do you guys ever tell the girls you’re dating that you’re a game dev? How do they react? I’ve been on a few dates with this girl who’s pretty interested in video games but I haven’t told her about my game yet since I’m worried it’ll look like I’m trying too hard to impress her. I’m looking for an opportunity to slip it into a conversation casually like it’s no big deal.

>>537926659cris the enginedev arc is going too farcome back to AI
>>537926156In my case the reactions were ambivalent to negative, sample size around 12 before I learned to stfu.They were mostly in their late 20s or even early 30s and like a third of them had phds (university town) so they probably see gamedevs as below them professionally.
https://youtu.be/IdpD5QIVOKQ?si=XQd4gBGNsaTLunb4So I was watching this presentation of JAI by John Blow and I was thinking "damn this guy is kinda smart actually, all those neats features, made for his game", it just makes me appreciate just how much work goes into a game like this...And then I remembered that eventually, the fucking subhuman disgusting retard on /v/ or on Steam who can barely comprehend the English language will get his hands on the game and shit on it for not handholding him through everything and god... I fucking hate gamers so much. Literally the most subhuman creatures out there.The shitty state of the industry is in today? They fucking DESERVE it. ALL OF IT. For being such retarded subhumans.

>>537926841From all the trailers I've watched in that indie showcase, 100% of "cozy" games were being made by females and they all sucked in various ways. No offense.

>>537927479It is a tragedy that the best and brightest minds of the world are all being wasted on trivialities. Nobody with actual talent and ability should be wasted on something as worthless as video games.
>>537927665Gimme the source before you go on vacation.
>>537927334>Gamers have never had more and better choice in games for the least money.The thing is, the average gamer is SO SUBHUMAN they don't even know. Literally. They're incapable of checking the Steam or GOG storefront on their own for cool indie or old games on sale. They're only capable of consuming games through a sort of "bandwagon consensus". Can you even picture how low of an IQ such a creature has? And then it goes onto the Internet to complain how "there are no games to play!"

Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, Discord, Facebook - wherever the fuck. The response will be exactly the same: incessant seething and calling you names like an ape.

>>537928545Amogus was more or less he same game in 2020 that it was in 2015, only some streamers playing it during covid made it sucessful. Ergo a bandwagon game is not necessarily a good game, just the right game at the right time
>>537929154No, a bandwagon game is always a good game. The subtlety is that good depends on more than the game itself but also its surrounding world. Amongus was a bad game but the change in the world temporarily turned it into a good game, then the world changed again and it became bad again.

If the world would just give my game a chance...
>>537929835I never say "*just* make good games" because I recognize that the "just" can make it sound like making good games is easy. Yes, making good games is incredibly hard. The point is to focus on that task and not get distracted by other tasks that don't have anything to do with it. Making the game good is the only thing you should be worrying about. If you succeed in making the game good, success is guaranteed.

No matter how rude or abrasive you people act, I still love you all and this general and I’ll remember to come back here to thank you guys once I make it.
>>537929335amazing post smartass
>>537930524completely false, a song would have to be bad to be unnoticable
>>537930524Nah. The best soundtrack is one that lines up perfectly with what you're doing and increases the emotions of the moment. A soundtrack you don't notice is likely really generic and boring.

>>537930459who's the arbiter of whether a game is good or not?
>>537930845The market. If a game sells a lot, it is good. If a game doesn't sell, it is bad.

>>537931006get ahold of yourself, you can't let the crabs win
>>537930524Depends if your definition of “good” is songs you can actually name and want to listen to vs. songs that sound like they’re made for a “relaxing video game ambience” YouTube playlist. I prefer the former.
>>537931213i am crabbed beyond repair, by myself no less
>>537931179It's that thought process why game and movie music doesn't have melody anymore. It's all just industrial noise and clicking sounds.Some of the best soundtracks of all time are very in your face.
>>537930459I say "just" because it's very simple thing, but simple does not mean easy. When I say "just like make good games that people want to play", what I'm really saying is that you should stop worrying about "marketing" BS (really it's just promotional BS) and just focus on making your game better, which means adding more appeal, extending your playtime, and expanding your audience by improving accessibility.>>537930845The Steam algorithm.

Peer-level communication can only effectively occur between individuals with less than around a 30-IQ gap. Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. If you don't have the IQ to understand high-school level statistics, then recommendation algorithms might as well be a slot machine to you.
>>537932678Uh? Wha?
>>537932678Any recommendation algorithms that can be understood can also be abused. The only trick they have to prevent this is to make it random to some degree because randomness can't be abused.

>>537933069>recommendation algorithms that can be understood I meant predicted instead of understood

>>537913260Steam isnt even real.You have to get into the secret purposefully hidden "Real Steam" otherwise you're just throwing away 1/3rd of your labor for no reason whatsoever besides being a cuckold cultist fanboy.And to get into Real Steam you need to sell $600,000 worth. It's gatekept. Valve literally has a monopoly on PC gaming and then decides to only ever help the most popular games and ONLY AFTER THEY GET POPULAR.It's smart business but pure evil capitalism. Like all billionaires, they're predators who prey on you and your children, privatize all gaind and socialize all losses. Never let go, and always tighten grip. Insane levels of propaganda to the most propagandized nation in the history of the world.Gabe Newell & Donald Trump are peak American. Also slightly unrelated but always worth mentioning the fact: Bill Gates is a Pedophile. His wife filed for divorce IMMEDIATELY the moment Epstein got exposed nationally. The moment she found out, after decades, she filed for divorce. Bc she knew Bill Gates fucked kids. She always knew but pretended looking the other way. Once it became worldwide news she woke up and INSTANTLY filed. The paperwork hit 2 months after Epstein became known to the world. For a billionaire, that means she got a lawyer THAT DAY and said "We need to do this as fast as possible. He knows I know he fucked kids now. So he knows I'm already talking to you. We have to be fast" 100000% guaranteed this was the convo. Same day Bill called his divorce lawyer. Without her saying a single word, the moment he saw Epstein on TV he called his lawyer, "She knows now. Protect my assets ASAP!" 100000% guaranteed. No doubts. Bill Gates is a Pedophile.
rape cris
>>537934059It seems all billionaires as pedophiles. How much do we wanna bet even Gaben is on that list?
>>537934296Is Gabe Newell on the Epstein list? Is that why he is so scared of Mastercard and Visa coming after him for loli rape games? How much do you wanna bet he downloads every one uploaded, jerks off to it, then out of guilt bans the lolidev from steam?
ah em um ahhh ehhhhh...ummm...i don't really enjoy gamedev ><
>>537900440Prompt?
>>537934059Can you remind what "real steam" was? I remember getting redpilled on that from Zuckowski but I forgot what the threshold actually is
>>537934451lol is that why he caved on porn games? Kindof weird to see a billionaire get his balls cut off by a credit card company crying about christian morals.

>>537934296It's a "mutually assured destruction" trick that elites use to try to keep the peace between them. If everybody has blackmail material on each other, everybody can agree to play nice with each other. And they won't let anyone new into the club unless they're willing to share blackmail material.
>the pizza is here
nyah
This thread is shit. /v/ is shit. Where else can I get some dopamine to finally quit this place?
>>537934557The threshold is $600k. Real Steam is Steam. Everyone not in Real Steam just uploads their software to steam, gets 0 exposure, and any sales they get are bc of their own advertising so theyre literally just retards giving Valve 30% of their hard labor for no reason. Real Steam is Valve acknowledging your game exists so it gives you exposure at a 30% cut, but it sometimes is worth it because Steam (when it's real) has a lot of users on it.Basically Steam's popularity is grossly exaggerated. The number of users buying games is actually abysmally small. However if you get on Real Steam you get those users. If you arent in Real Steam you get nothing.The irony is you need to sell $600,000 worth, so you instantly lose 180k just to get on Real Steam, with a chance to lose <=179k and get NOTHING from it.That's 180k you'd have gotten if you just sold on your own website and linked it there. Itch. EGS. Humble. Etc. 180k lost just to get a chance.Then once you're on real steam your game only sells when it's 50% to 80% off. Which means Valve takes 65% to 86% from you for every unit sale.People argue it's worth it bc despite Valve taking 86% when you use Real Steam, the numbers are mostly from people who dont actually want to buy your game. They're addicts, collectors, bored losers, and avid consumers. So money comes in, about $20,000 per sale on average, which is very little but it's "free money".The problem with that logic is that if your game is actually good and just needs marketing, you're losing future customers who would buy for 100% off steam bc they want your game. But you discount it 86% for them to also get more users. It probably does end up being more profitable short term or if your game is mid it's probably an amazing deal.The biggest issue for indies is your game has to have a high quality standard to even get in Real Steam. You will be filtered out of Real Steam long before 600k sales if your game isnt competitive with AAA games.
>>537932256>Signs your game is NGMI:>>I hate itOne hurdle I've run into is that I genuinely hate the people I'd be making the game for. As in, I'm profoundly disgusted by them.
being one of the only female devs here is not easy bros...
>>537934704>Woman is into me bigtime>I like her too>I am so lonely I am posting this blog to 4chan>But she is engaged so I cant even flirt!You know even married people can flirt. If it's innocent it's fine. Engaged though? She isnt even married. Engaged means nothing. But also she can still flirt innocently that's fine. Why dont you flirt back? Makes no sense. Oh wait you dont flirt back bc even if she was single you wouldnt flirt back. Also she might say this to everyone to get better tips, so maybe it is scary too.

>>537935705They didn't invite you to the secret female-only discord?
>>537933069>>537933221All recommendation algorithms also build in randomness, but randomness does not mean unpredictable. There is variance, but it is highly predictable variance in the long term. Variance decreases as sample size increases.Besides, Steam can't be "abused" unless you're willing to throw away a lot of money, since the primarily metric Steam uses to determine visibility is revenue, and in order to have revenue, you must give Gabe his 30%. Theoretically, if you buy $1m worth of copies for your own game, you can buy a front page slot. That slot will run you $300k not including income tax.

I don't give a shit about people playing games on consolesI don't give a shit about people playing games in other languagesI don't give a shit about people having accesibility issuesYou're playing my game like I've played every single other game in existence.

>>537927732>admits he has no talent or ability>expects others to take his opinion seriously
>>537934839
>>537935447the bottom line is if you got a PC game and it's not on steam, its not going to sell. If even AAA studios have to pay their toll on steam, the average indie dev doesnt have a choice.and for reference, microsoft, sony and nintendo all take 30% unless you got an exclusive deal.
I playtested my game after many changes and had fun

Gamedev is one of the only things where you can be 100% independent as a small business, dealing with almost no one, cashing in pure profit with little to no costs, totally free from anyone's tampering or greed outside of Valve/Google/Apple/Sony at least...Yet 90% of gamedevs seem desperate to find a parasite / publisher who wants to tale 70% for nothing. Valve already robs you but you want an even worse robber too? Why are gamedevs so mentally ill?

They just want to. For them it's a billion dollar analysis where they can fire 8000 employees and only lose a little % or even profit bc those employees are more expensive than 30% due to their salaries, medical care, sick leave, maternity leave, etc. Plus even at a loss it can be seen as desirable bc it's >oh we pay 10% but dont have to deal with people? Automated this away and keep the best 100 of the 10k were firing for this new thing that will make up for it!>oh we pay 3% more but our stock will go up bc this is seen as smart among a bunch of larping retards in business suits? Caching!!!>Xbox Playstation Switch take 30%.They own the hardware. That is completely different than Windows, Linux, Mac, and Mobile. Imagine being this retarded that you dont even know the standard is now 10%-15% and Steam is the holdout.

>>537938652I was replying to >>537937160
>>537938812what? I'm a hobbyist. I've never sold a game on steam before. I heard they take a 30% cut and I naturally assumed that when you put you game on a sale steam will continue to take 30% of the new number.so you're telling me they actually continue to take 30% of the official price and you actually lose even more than the percentage on the sale pricetag would imply? that's insane. I know putting your game on sale is basically mandatory so the practical percentage valve take out of everybody's business is well above 30%? what the fuck.
