Are games with dice fun?
dr k. said im an incel and that i have to spend 10,000 hours in the gym before i can even consider asking a girl out (which apparently is the first step to being successful in a hobby/jobby)
Bastard fucking bitch... You wanna die now?
>>538736048no, i got a game to dev
>>538736085Post it, or I kill you now
>>538735836Physical games have dice because they don't have any other (video games) method of randomness.
>>538735836yes rolling them is satisfying and it's an easy way for people to get what your odds are but limits the range of results you get and it's only worth it if you're not rolling them every 5 seconds
>>538735959He didn't say that
>>538736587that's what my mental illness interpreted what he said as, a personal attack against me (im a 30 year old virgin that starts crying if women look directly at me on the street)
>>538736473>rolling them is satisfyingWhy is it satisfying?It's the physicality
>>538734458>someone actually fucking fell for it
>solodeving fast paced netcodeIt ain’t gonna suck itself
>>5387359591. he didn't say that2. you were never rejected for having too little muscle3. you're correct that you need a loving woman in your corner to make it as a solo dev
>>538736734and the noise
>>538736887>2. you were never rejected for having too little musclei was rejected for my bone structure which is something going to the gym can't fix, only a time machine
>>538737043tl;drDon't make virtual dice.Make a good VIDEO game.
>>538736691Maybe you're just a gay
>>538736887>ere never rejected for having too little muscle>3. you're correct that you need a loving woman in your corner to make it as a solo devWrong, I lost my V card to a hooker and just look at Mongol now!
>>538734458Too lateyou used AI, now you're tainted forever. you missed the 1 week sales window. you shall forever be cursed to include your game in your resume and they will see the reviewsgo sit with the AI voice actor shitposter circlejerking forever
>>538737313>you used AI, now you're tainted forever.Tell that to The Finals and Liar's Bar
alright heres my progress, it's a skeleton
>>538736473>it's only worth it if you're not rolling them every 5 secondsMy game was to be about rolling dice every turn to do damage to enemies.But I just can't find anything to add more control for the player.
>indie dev youtuber making a video series on how to be successful and make it as a indie game dev>look inside>he hasn't made a single successful game yet or has gotten lucky only once and it is painfully clear he has no idea why it even happenedWhy is there so many of these guys? For some reason it is kinda funny to me, I ain't gonna lie.The blind leading the deaf.
>>538737124>was rejected for my bone structure which is something going to the gym can't fix, only a time machineFeels good mogging everyone with my superior Chad craniomancy.
>>538737612>or has gotten lucky only once and it is painfully clear he has no idea why it even happenedThis is unironically a better scheme than actually continuing to making games. It's cheaper + builds a community around YOU, your personality, so in the event that something goes wrong for you IRL, you can guilt-trip them into donating to you, or if you decide to make a game, they'll buy it simply because you're their favourite youtube slop man.That's just how it is, dude.
>>538737570Your UI needs shadows
What are some good places other than Twitter and 4chan to share progress on your game?
>>538737591What I meant is that if your game just has a flat hit chance % there's no reason to have the player manually roll a die for that, make it automatic. Another strength of dice is that it's a very intuitive way for players to understand rerolls or picking a result, I don't know what your game is about but maybe consider a blood bowl like system where you roll more than one die and pick a result.
Why is it so hard to get people to download a free game
train yourself to choose discipline over dopamine and you'll massively increase your chances of making it. maybe even from 0.1% to 1%
I have come to the conclusion that my expertise lies in mobile games because I earned about 300x more on mobile than I did on Steam.so I'm giving up on Steam entirely. instead I'll be the I-can't-believe-this-is-a-mobile-game game on mobile without predatory mechanics, just fairly priced permanent content unlocks.
>>538738434I don't run unvetted software on my computer.

>>538739606Don't share stupid questions
>>538739637Yeah but I'm wondering how the networking stuff works like godot is simple and all that but i have no reference for any games made for it
>>538737520The Finals and Liars Bar didn't have AI art as the first thing you see on the store. AI art is fine as long as people don't realize it's AI.

for anyone who played kludge, how did the swinging feel specifically, its about 80% of where i want it to be. i have to redesign a lot of how it works if i want it to be perfect. it also isnt as tight as it could be at lower framerates i'll have to mess with that
Why is Demo Day 65 4 months away instead of 2?
I don't think I'll be getting any more feedback from demo day, so I think now is a good time to start implementing things.
>>538739783The OP pic was about AI voice, moron
>>538740357I think it felt great. I didn't like gyro spinning though, felt like movement tech rather than something integral to the gameWhat was everyone's list of favorite DD 64 games?
>>538740768But that picture had no audio, retard.
I'm in the unenviable position of having no potential source of income other than game development. I'm not sure what game to make. It feels like every niche has been filled and is overflowing with quality.
My game just released and sellerded 0 copiers. What I do next?
>>538741109Slide Game with an honorable mention to Shrimp Game
>>538741109the gyro spinning is really useful for vaulting over walls and a few other things, i'm going to have an option for making it directly mouse controlled and explain it better next time. also blocking isnt great i need to improve it significantly before i add melee enemies. how did you feel about the visuals? i'm still settling on a general visual style im hoping what i have currently is at least "good enough" for what the game is.
>>538741206Make a new niche then. If you can't, make some competition for existing niches. If you can get 10% of the roguelike, for example, audience to buy your game that's still thousands if not millions of people
>>538741206Put the fries in the bag.

Can someone explain the appeal of Disco Elysium to me? I'm a few hours in and while the dialogue isn't terrible, I don't get the praise.>bro what if we do DnD rolls and stats but applied to the dialogue tree>many things to inspect in the environment but they'll tell you useless information like "this is a car with a company sign on it">a giant unprioritized quest list!>DAE capitalism sucks?are the standards this low for gamers?
>>538741889imo it was the schizo drunk protagonist that sold me on the gameit's not anything groundbreaking gameplay wise
my favorite games are walking sims with zero goals other than to enjoy the process of experiencing the arti might not even be a real game developer at this point, i'm just making interactive artbut damn, nothing beats the feeling of having some free time, zero responsibilities, and just chilling in a cool digital worldthis could be some form of autism, but when i was younger i'd spend a ton of time chilling in the goron hot springs in zelda twilight princess, imagining myself in the water and relaxingit almost felt like i was really therevideo games can be amazing if you manage to wade through the slop
>>538741551I will post my cum inside your ass, bitch.
>>538741492I'd be happy with even 0.1% of any genre but seeing games much better than anything I could realistically expect to make flop hard, it's looking grim.>>538741520Unironically I would if I could but I've been rejected from all fast food places I've applied to. Also warehouse jobs. I'm too old and have no experience. I don't even have a drivers' license or a car so I can't even do Doordash. I fucked up my life so hard, I think gamedev is my best option.
>>538741889>>538742031the protagonist put me off the game. I was like I'm not like this guy, I'd never act like this, he should kill himselfbut I didn't refund it because I never refund games so good for the devs I guess.
>>538741889i found it very immersive, and that's enough for me to enjoy a gamehave you ever played "What Became of Edith Finch"? i'd be interested in hearing your opinion on it
>>538741889It's a genre for women and low-IQ nodevs, same as CRPGs and imsims. You wouldn't get it if you're not one of those.
>>538741109I didn't play any of them but it was hilarious watching ESLs stream Jargon

>>538744520Nothing will work out for everyone, obviously. But, if you are an indie dev with a massively successful game, it would probably be easier to just make youtube slop and "game design" courses on how to make games, and make money off that.
I think Youtube is worse than gamedev.As a gamedev you can make a new game. As a Youtuber once you fall off the algorithm, you're done basically forever no matter what you do.
>>538739783I don't care about what ""people"" think. I do it for my own enjoyment.
>>538745428On youtube you can use AI voice acting and no one will bat an eye. In gamedev you can't, even for free games. So youtube wins.
>>538740357Swinging was nice, parry was a bigger questionmark.
>>538745428Wrong. Successful YouTubers have been able to prove that they can start a fresh channel completely detached from their previous persona/channel and get a ton of subscribers right away though pure skill alone. YouTube is also a meritocracy just like gamedev.
>>538745872Wrong. Many successful Youtubers have fallen off just like for many gamedevs their first game was their most successful one.
>>538746040Maybe their videos aren't as good anymore
>>538745872YouTube has been giving me lots of pity reccs from random accounts with double digit views and they're always unwatchable trash, the market is always right.
>>538745872well i wouldn't go as far to call youtube a meritocracy but it's definitely better than steme. thanks to the algorithm update if your a literal nobody with no connections or nothing, you can still eventually get somewhere by just doing what you love as you can get blessed by the algorithm one day. that never happens on steme.
>>538744792No, I got sick in HL2 after like 30mins. Not exactly sick, but it felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my skull
Hey vg, I was wondering something. I am pretty recluse (do not collab with others, but I do online research), I am easily a developer first, I hire an artist that I only talk art with, they make the art. I code. That's it.While working on this game for two years, I am realizing that my game scalability wise is *very easy* to scale. As in, making content that feels unique is really easy as I made almost everything Data driven. The AI is also getting a hell of a lot smarter. I have never worked in a professional studio or with indie teams, my coding experience comes from making very data driven code for general companies.I am getting a weird feeling here that making scalable, well built game mechanics, should be more common?I am not patting myself on the back or bragging here, I am not some wiz.Some theories:-A lot of those driven to make games are more art-centric, and learned coding to make the game, therefore, 'complicated' code hardly exists-I am not hunted by Investors to my game and entirely self fund, therefore I do not need to cut corners and am on my own time-Coding entirely alone means I am only speaking my languageAm I missing something? I would like to know other's input on this
>>538745067You cant seriously expect to cover EVERY game design problem with porn
>>538746142That's the YouTube algorithm testing out if new smaller channels are able to garner any attention, the same way that Steam gives every game a tiny bit of baseline visibility to test its viability. >>538746148
>https://store.steampowered.com/app/1920430/FUMES/what caused this success? game seems pretty basic
>>538746384Nostalgia for Twisted Metal + Mad Max fans
>>538746250Can you be more specific? Give an example? What kind of game are you making? An RPG might be easier to scale because you can write side quests as modules, as long as you have the engine. A simple platformer can be easy to scale because each level is its own self contained thing. A metroidvania is not as easy to scale because each level has to build off of the last one (i.e, new abilities unlock new areas in the game, puzzle solving needs to take advantage of new mechanics, you can't just work on content in isolation)
Kylindros is pretty cool. A game where your guy can be an unabashed ass hole. I got up to the room with 2 goblins and then got stuck. Does the dev post here often?
>>538746363except the difference is youtube can do it multiple times over for a channel. it might be in different scales but, if you do actually want your content to be watched (some people on YT don't and use it as a personal/corporate archive) then it will recommend your videos over and over. steam won't after the first release.
>>538746384
>>538746843forgot pic
>>538746963Yes it does. Steam gives every game, no matter how awful, around 40 baseline organic impressions per day.
>>538747304Oh brother its THIS guy again.
I like dark descent
>>538746384Simple yet fun gameplay loop, good enough graphics, a sprinkle of neat physics, exciting upgrade system.Just by watching the steam gameplay video I instantly can recognize it's a solid game.I should become a publisher.
>>538747304I got 5k impressions per day from my itch demo.
>>538747304>>538747341can confirm that's what steam's own stats suggest, although:- they may be lying- for my flop it's about 30 a year after release
>>538746621Sure, in my case an Action Roguelite (think similar to other titles like Hades, with the intent on having far more weapons and enemies).I already built the seed generation, a full save system that is easy while developing to add and remove serialized content from said save. The in game shop (not real currency, just currency in game) is coded as well and can be populated with whatever pretty easily.Weapons and attacks have a very solid pipeline, melee has a combo system that even the AI is capable of using (the AI can stop combos if the target moves away). Damage execution is kinda "cute" in the current state in that it does quite a bit, but that is only because I modeled it after another in depth system I have studied in a released game. It won't stay that way, but I like that I figured it out I guess?Enemies can also fight each other and path each other. Easy to add/remove abilities to any enemies. They also have sub types. All of this is developer side and doesn't reflect what will be in the shipped game. With that said, any of this can be removed and added back without much time needed and no impact to other systems. This includes that while developing this, I was also developing the multiplayer side of it for fun, even though I had no original intent to include multiplayer in any capacity (I use it as a break from making base game code).It's pretty sandboxy at the moment, and I am not saying it is ready for any sort of alpha or anything, just want to make sure that is clear. I have experience in my original job of shipping out software after testing in test and dev regions, so those sorts of pipelines already are clear to me as well.
>55 reviews in a year>$5
>>538746384Just tried the demo.If you can't tell why this game is popular, stop hoping you will ever make anything that makes enough money to make a living off of.This game is super good and is also exactly the scope an indie dev should aim for.
>>538747548Unless Steam goes full transparent with this data, we'll never know if it's actually 40 real players or just some kind of crawler bots not logged by Valve (that all those game tracking websites could run).Of course I don't really care about whatever that brownie says but unless you make like literal stickmen with no animation tier trash, getting 40 REAL views a day should make the market like it was in 2015-2018 when literally ANYTHING was successful (to a degree), which it isn't.
>>538746250>>538747585Scalability is nice and all, but the point of scalability is to save you time in the long run. You've already wasted 2 years, and you haven't even made it to a playable alpha? Meanwhile, a while back, I hacked together a similar action-roguelike (pick-3 survivors-like) for a game jam in just 3 days. Sure, it wasn't clean, as all of the data for stuff like upgrades was hard coded dictionaries, but in the end, it plays all the same.
>>538747548Also your post confirms what I said here as well >>538746963Unlike Youtube which can give you a random number of views at any moment, Steam will gradually decrease the visibility your game has until literally nobody sees it ever and it can ONLY spread through word of mouth. YouTube, on the other hand, can still recommend your other videos or the same video again randomly (unless it's shadowbanned which you know how to avoid, unlike on Steam). It doesn't seem to do that AS much as it did a year ago but it's still better than Steam's algorithm by a long mile.
>>538748075Something indie devs need to realize is that screenshake is impactful because most of the time the screen isn't shaking. If everything makes the screenshake then it loses its impact and it's actually kinds of annoying.

>>538748462>2015-2018So the shovelware era? Back then, those games the shittiest games were getting thousands of impressions per day, which made the Steam storefront look like massive a pile shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR2bpxd-EJw>While the exact figure is private, a post on the Steamworks developer page in June 2024 claimed Steam generates 1 trillion impressions per day across all its users.That's one trillion with a T, or 1,000,000,000,000+ impressions. I know your tiny nigger brain is unable to comprehend such large numbers, but the 40 free impressions times the roughly 400k shovelware games on Steam is only 16 million impressions, or 0.0016% of total impressions on Steam daily.
Ok. I was planning on making my own engine but after what happened yesterday i need to make my antisemetic game as fast as possible. I will have to use an popular engine to make my anti jewish games faster. Sad but a necessary sacrifice.

>>538748462It's much harder to get randos to pay for a game than you think it is. Even getting a wishlist is happens only 3-8% of the time and lifetime wishlist conversion rates after a year are 15% so it's like 5% of 15% which is 0.75%. And that's for the average game.
>>538749336yes, that's why the game flopped.
Biggest question, lasgun or solid ammunition for the gun?
>>538737570PUT A MAP IN THE BACKGROUND
>>538750136>lifetime wishlist conversion rates after a yearnot lifetime but after a year. I thought Steam gave the stats for lifetime but they don't.
>>538750305No it flopped because it looks really generic.The screenshake thing is just shit smeared ontop of that.

>>538750936The standard for action roguelikes are set by games like Hades. No, I cannot compete with $10m+ production value game with my current resources, and neither can you, nor anyone else here. Genre matters. Stop making action arcade games.

>>538751240Why shouldn't I have story or exposition in my game you fucking bitch. I even made it in such a way that even if you don't give a shit it takes 30 seconds or less to get into the game and start blasting if you're such a mongoloid.
>>538751473Alice game?
>>538751582your reading comprehension tells me all I need to know about the story or exposition you can createI haven't said it shouldn't have it, just don't feed me it the first thing after I open the game. That's so stupid. Let me get invested into the game through GAMEPLAY first before you dump story on me. Or, if you're good enough, do the story THROUGH GAMEPLAY, and not through stupid cutscenes, dialogs where I'm just reading your stupid redditesque blabble that more than likely has the complexity and intellectual value comparable to that My Immortal fanfic.
>>538751457I think I'd rather do a flip than let some chink piece of shit, using an equation made by some eastern europoor faggot, mess with my 3D assets, thats just me tho
>>538751931And what's so bad about the fucking menus you dumb bitch? What, you think it's a good idea to just send the player into the game and potentially crash their computer because they couldn't set up the settings so their rig could run it? You're retarded.
>>538752274How do you expect someone to change the settings if the game crashes?
>>538752031Math is math, who cares if it's made by a yellow man? The results speak for itself anyways. Saves me an hour per mesh and that adds up quickly when I have 19 meshes to process.
>>538743689i would do this, but half life 2 has a male protagonist so it's not immersive for me
>>538752365My menus are not as demanding as the actual game with it's actual graphics.
>>538752274It's still doable if you're not lazy or dumb. Still, that's not even needed, just not have the actual gameplay hidden behind 90321 menus, thirteen popups, six loading screens and two question boxes or something.Especially if it's something smaller (like an indie game).Games pull it off, so it's doable. Some do the opposite, and it's atrocious (and lazy).
>>538746285Have you tried?
Made it so you can revive anyone who is downed, might add a proper team mechanic, but still intending it to be mostly deathmatch but this kind of thing would allow some level of cooperation

I'd like to make a dungeon keeper style game. DK1, Loved that game.Have written like 8 game designs but my major problem is people don't really play RTS games anymore market is like 30 years+Idea, playing timberborn and rimworld maybe i should pivot towards colony sim instead?
>>538754115Didn't read. Start with Pong.
once you make pong you are free btw, then you can make anything, do you even know how hard it can be to make pong?
>>538754115Dungeon Keeper isn't like a traditional RTS. I think it could do well if made well but idk I'm also 30 so maybe you're right about the market.
>>538754115It depends what you liked about DK1 and what your focus was. If you liked the idea of a dungeon management sim, your goals will be much different from if you liked the idea of a mob combat sim.

I've already made Pong before. How do I talk about ideas without coming off as an naive newcomer who doesn't know how to make Pong?
>>538756271You can't. If you made Pong, you don't need anyone's help because you're a god among (trans) men.
How did Pong become a meme? I thought everyone made that in an afternoon when they were a teenager

I've got an hemorrhoid from doing too much gamedev.

>>538757341Cap the frame rate to the highest amount before the bug starts happening. If the bug happens at 144 frames it might be a problem because that's a common refresh rate.
The problem of too many developers and not enough players is killing the industry not only in terms of there not being enough money to go around, but in a more subtle way of making games worse.In order for developers to make good games, they need to actually see how players interact with their games. That's how developers properly learn game design. But with too many developers and not enough players, why would any player spoiled for choice ever agree to playtest an unfinished game when they can have fun playing a finished game instead? So developers can't find play testers, and the game turns out worse as a result.
>>538757947there's more players than ever. So much that you can make it making niche games.
>>538738434>make a good game>make a good capsule and title>make a html5 build. your engine CAN do that in a few clicks rightez and done
>>538758208There's even more developers though. What's important isn't the raw numbers of players so much as the ratio of players to developers/games, which is getting worse to worse. There are just too many games.
>>538758327kill yourself fag

Unreal Engine confuses me. If using Event Tick is bad practice because binding everything to framerate makes it ratchet as hell, why isn't there a default node in the blueprint system that is a timer set up to mimic Event Tick in functionality?
Engine dev, how do From dust work?
>>538760043post pong
>>538759402because the human eye can't see more than 24 frames per second. so two eyes, 48 fps, that's all that the human eye can see.
>>538760043marching cubes + shaders
>>538759726Timers have even worse performance than tick if you need the same framerate
>>538755786There are plenty of underserved audiences, but action arcade games is not one of those.
Twisted Tower coming 2026
>>538760539Yeah, but if you have different framerates on the table and you have something firing every tick, how do you stop variance if you're using event tick? That's the point. Especially for multiplayer stuff. If you have two people where their movement or capabilities are tied to framerate, that's the issue.
>>538760624>underserved audiencesA meme. If an "audience" is underserved, that means it doesn't exist. It's why immersive syms don't sell outside of a few astroturfed discord troon games.
>>538760624Metroidvania==2D platformeralso what's management?
>>538759726There is.It's called reducing your tick rate.A timer running every 0.2 seconds and a tick running every 0.2 seconds is the same.But honestly Unreal has way worse inefficiencies and I wouldn't even worry about using tick for an indie game. Not unless you're doing something with a stupid amount of objects.
>>538761070NGMI retard
>>538760821
>>538759421no i just think its important to understand the difference between the itch and steam audiences and that while there is overlap it's not very much
>>538761020You're right. The farming game audience doesn't exist. The 48,428 people currently playing Stardew Valley for the 12th time sure aren't wishing for a new game to play right about now.
>>538761229damn...
>>538761426They're not. They're just going to replay Stardew Valley a 13th time.
>>538761229He's selling his house to buy a farm not because he's gone broke.
>>538761426>The 48,428 people currently playing Stardew Valley for the 12th time sure aren't wishing for a new game to play right about now.This but unironically. They will only play haunted chocolate
>>538757375i remember the first time i got one of those, i thought i would never be able to get a bf>>538756271i don't understand why people are saying "make pong" when u can make anything else and it would be actually worthwhile, why practice on something ur not interested in at all?
>>538753018>indie game dev>our officewasn't the term AA specifically made for this scenario ?
>>538761020you're mental
>>538761584Geez. I guess every farming game that made millions of dollars in the last few years didn't happen. You should just throw in the towel.
Have you wondered that maybe making itch.io PC games is a mistake?
>>538761584>he didn't inherit a farm from his dead grandpa
>>538761756Why are you in an AMATEUR game dev general on 4chinz if all you care about is money?
i give up
>>538761669I think the gaymers dont like the AA term since its like AAA but worse so its bad for marketing
>>538761756have you wondered who exactly is playing all those mobile games and console games?
I'm back got banned for asking for donations don't try that
>>538761885It's not about money, retard.zoomers don't play on consoles or PC.
>>538761885I hope your parents kick you out so you finally realize the importance of money.
>>538761094Interesting. So I could still use event tick, but I could choke it down to a setting where it has minimal effect, but is still consistent. I'd imagine there'd be, as you mentioned, a price for doing that. But it stops someone with an uncapped framerate from being twice as fast as someone who is running on older hardware.
>>538762030There are better ways to make money than gamedev, retard. Literally being a burger flipper at slopdonalds pays more than gamedev will.
>>538761885Any game that people want to play can and will make money. A game that is unable to make money is also unable to attract any players, even for free.
>just have a fanbase, bro
>538762170Kill yourself. Nobody asked.
>>538754115>>538754549>>538754771I have a few ideas but I'm fearful of going down factory route as colony sim.I could do fps and focus on full blown autism
>>538762223this never had a fanbase
>>538762113I dunno what you're doing but typically multiplayer logic is throttled to a lower tick rate than game logic anyway. By default Unreal groups together packets and sends them 20 times per second. So even if you're running at 120fps, the guy on the other side is only receiving packets at a 20fps limit anyway. You can change this of course but for most games that aren't competitive shooters it's adequate.
>>538762223The game absolutely did not warrant a sequel. You can only play so much of a schizo simulator. Also I'm pretty sure Hellblade 1 was dirt cheap on Humble Bundle many years ago and has seen many sales since.
I hate all the secondaries who are in this for the money. I hope the indie market completely crashes and burns and becomes unrelaxed so only people who really want to make a game will still slither hither. Spook!
>>538762653Rare moment of truth and sincerity
>>538762223It's wrong time, wrong place.Hellblade 2 would've been beloved if it had been released 10 years ago.But the era of overly scripted cinematic games is over.Hellblade 2 is handsdown a better game than the original.
>>538762653if you don't care about money, you've never finished a game. money is the only reason to make anything beyond a prototype.

Thanks to everyone who played and gave feedback, going to spend the next week implementing some bug fixes and considering the feedback we got and get it ready for SAGE
>>538761229He said in his latest vid with Tom Francis that he's building a house
As much as I may hate agdg as a whole, I do appreciate the streamers and people who try out demos on DD and leave feedback pointing out issues, bugs, and giving suggestions. It's probably one of the only ways to really get play testing these days. My "friend" straight up refused to even try my demo saying that he was just too busy playing Silksong.
>>538764238"wow this is a cool idea" vs "oh it's that same thing again?"

>>538764786Your friend is based and is giving you the only feedback you actually need. Meanwhile, DD hugbox crabs are going to trick you into wasting more time on your NGMI flop.
>>538765248I appreciate stoner, but he's also a dickhead.
>>538764512>your game needs to be literally top 5% to earn you the equivalent of a minimum wageHow did it get to this point?
>>538764786That's true but keep in mind that people here tend to hyperfixate on things like bugs and it's rare that feedback will actually tell you if an idea is bad or if the game isn't fun.
>>538765503>Meanwhile, DD hugbox crabs are going to trick you into wasting more time on your NGMI flop.The hugbox is a myth. The streamer was really vocal about how much he hated my game.
>>538765764and he was wrong
>>538765892Nah, he was right that it was bad. My only real disagreement is that I'm stupid and delusional enough to think that I can still salvage the mess and turn it into something good.
>>538764689Cute art, reminds me of Tempo.

>I HATE my engine of choice but I would NEVER EVER switch to a different I PROMISE
>>538766373You planning for mobile build m8?
>>538766232A bad game will not sell. But an actual garbage mess beyond comprehension will sell like hotcakes, because it will be a goldmine for streamers and youtubers
>>538766417>So it was a field that really valued talent.Fatfuck gabencunt pushing propaganda lies that benefits only his fat ass.
>>538766891Yeah, It's also a mobile game. My dumb ass thought it would be fun to have both portrait and landscape support. But it's mostly because non-gamers/casuals just play mobile games with one hand, only real-gamers™ would use their phones sideways in public.

godette's preteen pussy
>>538788053no and it's primarily because I dislike gdscript .the very concept of a python-like scripting language for game development is a dumb idea. I was so glad when Unity abandoned unityscript or whatever that shit was called. godot chose the wrong path, they went the other way, keeping their gimmick language and neglecting C#. thus they sealed their fate in my eyes.the other problem is the tendency to half-ass 3D features and then abandon them to half-ass an alternative and then abandon that, too. it's like another cargo cult Unity thing, where Unity can afford to half-ass and abandon new features because they already have a robust way of doing most things and devs can fall back to the older way. so Unity merely stagnates due to this bad habit. they've just stopped making real progress but the engine is still worth using because it was already worth using in the late 2010s. meanwhile godot doesn't have those fallback solutions. there's no fallback for "I need proper lighting in my 3D game" in godot and at this pace there never will be because Juan just fucks around with some paradigm (I'm sure he's eyeing radiance cascades next if he hasn't already started on that) but nothing ever finishes so the engine goes another year with NO lighting solution, and another, and another.
I present to you an idea. Use it wisely.A roguelike called "The Choosing Between Three Things Problem", themed after the Monty Hall problem.
>>538788546What do you mean godot doesn't have a lighting solution?
>>538788150>tfw I've finally reached the age where it seems comical and borderline unbelievable that I could still be a virginI remember going on 4chan when I was 19 and seeing posts like this and thinking to myself "that's never going to be, I'll surely find a girlfriend and have sex before I'm that old".But then I never did anything. I never tried asking any women out. I never went out and put myself in scenarios where I could meet women. I just sat in my bedroom playing video games and lifting weights, expecting the perfect woman to magically appear and fall so helplessly in love with me that starting a relationship would take virtually no effort on my part.This is where 27 years of complacency gets you. Alone, clueless, and with no idea how to get out of the position you've put yourself in. I'm so socially stunted when it comes to talking to women that I wonder if it's even possible to find love at this point. Even if I manage to find a woman who wants to go on a date with me through a dating app, the moment we meet and she sees me struggle to look her in the eye and stammer as I attempt to make conversation she's going to want to leave immediately.
>>538788007can you pet the dog?
>>538788737It mean's he's a clueless nodev. Godot has 3 different GI solutions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRdiiWpA0AA
>>538788737real-time indirect lightingmaybe reflections too, I didn't get that far because lacking real-time indirect lighting was a dealbreaker for me.>>538789042none of them WORK and you would know this if you had ever tried using them for a serious project, or at all.

>>538789027soon yes, i think there's an animation for it
I hate my game.
>>538789042all that money godot paid him and he made 5 videos in a year.Either he is talentless or Godot really is awkward to use.
>>538789139Sounds like you got filtered. Nothing is perfect. Any high fidelity UE game also comes with a shit ton of lighting artifacts, and yet they still make hundreds of millions of dollars. Any solution will always come with tradeoffs.
I love my game!
>>538789513you're not arguing in good faith. again. there's no point trying to reason with The Cult.
I want to make a game with a bocchiposterThey seem cute and fun
At first I was going for a really dark and somber plot for my game but the gameplay for it would also be a lighthearted card puzzle game. For these types of games people don't want to be invested in a story, they just want to play the puzzle, min-max and get out, skipping all the story if possible.Now I'm stuck thinking which path I should follow, if I make a story-driven game I will need whole different kind of gameplay; if I make a more lighthearted card puzzler game then I need to redo all the menus, art, music etc.
>>538789803You're not either. You're living in some imaginary world where there exists some perfect catch-all solution with zero trade-offs, but that's not reality. You can't point to a single game made in another engine that you want to replicate, but can't in Godot.
>>538789695nice! keep working on it!
>>538790134>continues to demonstrate he didn't process my previous posts where I mentioned that UNITY HAS solutions
>>538790126What skills do you bring to the table?
>>538790274IdeasGiving desperately needed encouragement and validation to bocchiposters so that they’ll become dependent on me and too afraid to stop doing whatever I tell them to do
>>538790261Then, just use Unity? Why do you feel the need to spaz out? Also, what specific lighting solution does Unity offer that Godot doesn't? I can't think of any Unity game with any noteworthy lightning. It's not Godot nor Unity keeping you from ever finishing a game. It's you.
>>538790783I answered somebody's question.you're "spazzing out" because I insulted your god, the only engine you've ever used.

no game
>>538791565NOOOOOOO
>>538791301if anything this game makes his game look better, this is from a team and they have prior games with 1000+ reviews and it just looks about on par. maybe worse in some aspects. maybe more zoomer appeal in the characters though, they are into 2000s stuff now?
>>538791448There are no games here. it's a thread for people's personal blogs.
>>538791760*um, 100 reviews. some wires were crossed...

>>538791908*but somehow employ 40+ people
>>538792303not sure that's the case here. they did tease the snowboard game in november last year
>>538791518you have not even tried godot's experimental prototype, not ready for production lighting features. quit pretending like you're trying to have a discussion about them. only obvious shills like brackeys ever say anything positive about them. EVERYONE who actually tries them comes to the same conclusion. you can't use either one of them (voxel or sdf) for something humans will see. they're like first draft tech demos, like>wouldn't it be cool if somebody applied this principle to lighting in godot, but actually?it's fucking comical that you would stick your neck out and demand something more concrete. you never used them. why would you defend something you have never touched? cultist.
>cant choose which exciting project to pursue>work on both at onceI mean one of them will stick, right?
>>538792531If you're so knowledgeable on the topic, surely you can at least say what specific solution from Unity you prefer and what specific problems it would solve, right?
>>538792665the road not taken... chose one, finish it, see a similar game to the one you didn't pursue go gangbusters...
i'm gonna shit myself and you can't stop me
How much money have you guys invested in your game thus far? I saved $5k for a 3d art slut
>>538792520oh ok guess I'm just freaking out. I get paranoid when I see someone have the same idea as I do at the same or later time and I thought this happened to trickydev
>>538753018>start the day by making your bedMight as well update your will too
>>538793472None, I do everything or take and use cc0 art.
>>538793472Over $100k due to paying myself minimum wage for hours worked.
>>538794696 (me)
Decided to try getting out of the tutorial limbo by downloading godot, a template, and using Claude to write the scripts for me (cause I don't know how tf to code, and unless I finally learn, or can hire someone to do it, this is what I got)how doomed am Iit's not evenclose to being an actual project but more of a practice demo like a blender donut
>>538793472easysavesome humble bundle with fx and stuffaudio packsome IK thingyabout $200
>>538793472A few hundred dollars of random asset packs. $5k isn't nearly enough to commission a full game worth of bespoke art.
>>538788202Throwing out the baby with the bath water. Just ignore demos you have already played. I know most devs don't but there are yesdevs who make meaningful changes every 2 months.
>>538793472nothing. Have a character controller and a greybox test level with enemies, interactables, and level pieces, but they're all capsules or cubes. Learning blender and music now.

>>538796568You shouldn't be directly using any templates, you should use them to see how they do things and learn the possible techniques for the engine. Alot of templates and learning resources are made by people who don't know what they're doing either, especially in godot.
>>538795408This is bait to get me to crunch for the next 2 months straight isn't it?
>>538795280it just clogs up the page with repeatsif devs are making progress then all the more reason to wait 4 months to make considerable updates that makes the build feel fresh instead of minute changes every 2 months
>>538788742That’s when you bust out your game and watch her panties drop
>>538797026I mean, if it will get you to finally make some real progress on your game? Then, yes.
>>538793472A janny's yearly salary
>>538796891you think?my only experience is doing the brackeys tutorial for 2D platformers before trying this template thing, and in highschool I used to do sonic rom hacks (usually tinkering with colors and layouts, not actually coding)figured it'd be a good kickstart
>>538788202I'm doing this anyway because if people are going to spend time playing my demo then I want to make worthwhile updates but I'm also slow so other people might be able to get more done in 2 months.
>>538793472Zilch
>>538792531While it's true that godots lighting is dogshit, you're hyper focusing on things that ultimately don't matter if you make a good game. AAA games have glitchy broken lighting all the time going all the way back to the first 3d games. I find it shocking that it's still acceptable for LOD models to pop in on even UE5 state of the art titles, but people just gloss over it.

Alignment VerdictYes — using GDevelop + AI art is highly aligned with your chart:Aries fast start.Virgo Moon structure + polish.Pisces Mercury intuitive, visual workflows.Gemini Mars flexibility + experimentation.The only caveat is Saturn in Capricorn: long term, you’ll need to add more discipline (e.g., consistent art style, stable engine choice) to avoid projects feeling like “prototypes only.”

>>538801524no you're just afraid of the initial connection, not the 'commitment.' the only requirement is opening the door for the initial connection of letting them see you, like getting down to their level and putting your man card aside for a moment so they can see who's actually inside. so if you're hiding insecurities then you better fix that anon

>>538781681no
>>538806074you're missing the point. if you are attractive, you could fling your own shit at people passing by while wearing a tight elmo t shirt and one legged pants and women would find it charming and just a part of who you are, so no, retard, it wouldn't matter if you fucking devved if you were attractive, so just get attractive

>start a project for fun as a meme just to get a demo posted on DD with 15 hours left>have the most fun I ever had making "games">just throwing shit at the wall without any direction>fastest progress everMaybe overthinking was the real problem all along. Man i wish I could dev some more but my body is literally falling apart, still got some nice progress. Made this camo shader, will make a weapon skin customization menu later after I get a diagetic main menu going, I might also add a fishing minigame because I feel like it and fuck you. Anyways, thanks for reading my blog.
In a shader(I'm using godot but any will do) can I change not only the scale of a texture that I want to overlay on the main texture, but also the position of it? I want it to be like pic related with the red square being the overlaid texture. How would I do this?
I downloaded Godot and made a game where you can walk around and talk to a sign. And by "made" I mean I asked Claude and followed his instructions and copied his code.Am I a game dev now?

>>538811352There's ton of rpgmaker games with pretty much the same premise already.
where do i get my dedvsona though?
>>538808673Jorurney in galuden?
another game idea (horror this time): The Necrofuta. its a dead zombie futa that wants to put its dick in you
>>538811184thats ai you nigger
pong but with little girls
>>538811457except nobody gives a fuck about rpgmaker games any more in 2025, been that way for a while now, dip
my dick but inside your ass
>>538811665sakuradev already made that
pong but it's actually ricochet
>>538811750there's no way you're not answering yourself
>>538811837
pong but the ball ricochets if the girls have huge breasts but there's a catch they're all lolis so its just pong with lolis
>>538810552minus taxes and you might have enough for a snickers bar, tard
>>538812078Why are you so negative?
>>538812198He's hungry and not himself.
Stop posting my game, it reminds me i haven’t gotten anything done since
>>538805859Browser versions are the itch meta, this has been known for yearsNobody fucking downloads a random .exe .zip anymore and extracts it
>>538812660lol.... you tool. you're only saying that because other people in this general have already declared that they don't download itch games. i guarantee you weren't saying that a couple years ago, poser
>>538812629then get to work
Become lolidev
>want to do youtube devlogs>remember that I have a horrible thick accent
>>538813664kill yourself cris
> Check patent online, patent was expired a while back.YES!
Any games you can think of with an "Ultima-like" inventory?Like, opening multiple bags to rifle through your shit (or your followers)?Some Ultima games are have a grid-based inventory, but I'm talking more on the many bags thing...I'm trying to imagine how I can make this work with a controller lmao- feels like everyone just does lists for a reason.
>>538813760World of Warcraft
Would it be marketing suicide if I include sex magic in my fantasy game? The idea is that if your character participates in ritual sex that some cults of some gods from some cultures have, and it can give you bonuses, and by adding... Sex juices to your alchemy you can have potions with the same bonuses. Maybe have it connected to the Orgone energy concept.Just thinking that maybe average people will go "ewww wtf haha this is a silly billy game I can't play this on twitch" and the ever swelling ranks of the christo-fascists will try to murder me for being a woke degen.
>>538813760Maybe scale it down to just two bags, your inventory and the other person's inventory and design a window specifically for two people's inventory. When the bag is open, you can use the dpad to move between items.
anyone know unreal? I need guidance and mentorship
>>538813664if you aren't cris/for anyone else in that position, an accent doesn't matter at all. it doesn't matter if you have a deformed face and do game dev. the only people that will be following your devving youtube channel are people that are actually into watching your videos and listening to you. no fucker on the planet takes even a second of their time to watch a devlog if they don't give a flying fucking shit about devving
>>538813930Na. "Suggestive Themes" and "Sexual Themes" don't raise your rating much if it's only description and not graphic. If it's graphic, then you're making an adult-only game.Also, Start with Pong, nodev.
>>538813664>do devlogs>nobody watches them>nobodyi stopped after 4, they were also time consuming because im new into video editing
devlog collab
>>538814117It's unreal how dumb you are
>>538814364well yea anon... this is 2025, not 1942 where all you had to do was make a channel and you'd get a trillion subscribers. it's going to take time, are you not at all aware of branno's youtube channel? go look at his from the general, he just posts videos over and over and his following is only increasing. if you're looking for a fast track to a 10m subscriber devving youtube channel, it would be a better use of time to try and figure out how to make a time machine for yourself
>>538814483how was youtube uploading during 1942?
>>538814479it's my first time. can you teach me how to make a game where all the things in the game stay on a single 2d plane but still have physics so they can like bounce around and stuff? Like... you know those particle simulations they show you in school with a box and lots of little circles bouncing around inside it? how would you make a top down game like that with a bunch of little spherical hitboxes bouncing around off eachother like molecules of gas?
>>538814558Start with Pong.
>>538814558make pong
>>538814602>>538814625that's actually good advice. thank you.would you like to recommend a specific tutorial? or should I just wing it?
>>538814558this is 7k you fucking retard
>>538814652Learn assembly and write a compiler.
>>538814419if done properly it's a wonderful idea, it just can't be a living room couch outdated technology and equipment type of hole in the wall podcast type of thing
>>538814652Making Pong is actually quite difficult, because there aren't any comprehensive tutorials for it, so it does require for you to use some brain power to figure some things out for yourself. That's part of the learning process. If you want to learn Unreal, follow Epic's beginner tutorials: https://dev.epicgames.com/community/unreal-engine/getting-started
>>538814752I already know assembly. I had to learn assembly for my computer organization class.
>>538814752disrespectful fucking fuck, writing compilers was and still is only for terry davis to be doing. get the fuck out of this general you disrespectful fuck. know your place as a lowly piece of garbage game dev
>>538814868retard
>>538814868You silly billy
>>538813664Thanks to this enginechad I finally started devving last year, then I found this general.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIZB4TCY4MM>>538814558see >>538763009
>>538814558Theres usually a checkbox that disables movement on an axis for a physics object
>>538780791as a real programmer with gumption and a hard head i found it easylots of tiny weird bugs that are hard to diagnose but easy to fixsince it's usually just ticking some editor boxes, using a different API for something, or cutting features that just dont make sense on web anyway
>>538816408>as a real programmer
>>538816605well you know in comparison to the average gamedev who only kind of knows programmingi am a professional programmer though
Any ideas on how to make a basketball hoop net (in unity) that moves dynamically? With hinges or springs or whatever? I want each vertical string to be connected horizontally. Is it possible to make the horizontal connections stretch as the vertical pieces move? So far I've only found chain or rope tutorials, the hingejoint components don't have multiple connections. Maybe I haven't checked all the joint components yet. I have a feeling that it won't be worth the effort and would be easier to just make a scale animation of the whole net.
>>538816860A single mesh with 8 or so jiggle bones should be enough.
what do you guys think of this character? i'm testing out a beat-em-up / platformer hybrid idea
>>538816860>>538816934Forgot to say it's a 2d game. But even if it's a 2d game the hoop is going to need a z movement. So it's going to have to be a 3d object.I was trying to make each string piece with separate sprite like in the image. I'm not too familiar with 3d unfortunately.
>>538816732I would like to be a better C and python programmer.What do?
>>538817227it's okay
>>538817283>whatever seems hard, just swallow your fear and try it out>dont just write code. write code that is performant, reusable, simplifies your workflow, or something like that.>write tools that speed development
>>538734458Not related but doesn't this game seem to copy mgs more than just being inspired by it? Same could be said for other games of this developer.
>>538741308fr bro what your game
>>538746384looks really enjoyable imo and yes right amount of nostalgia too
>>538751295If slaves are anime girls then it's alright.And I will buy your game
>>538762223more than half of them died in 7 years of lifespan
>>538808673Snood!
>>538762223>>just have a fanbase, bro
It's much harder to find good video references for medieval weapons that aren't swords.
Who is the Diogenes of /agdg/?

>>538821320The pong bros
>>538819524Shut up cris
You guys do make your own BG music for scenes and stuff right? https://voca.ro/1odeWakT3cEb
>>538813760There's one guy here who's making an old school ultima like and had multiple windows for loot and inventory iirc
>>538822231Why does every dev here have the shittiest music.
>>538823237not every dev horbor has great music
>>538822204Newfag here, who the hell is cris? Spoonfed me on his evil deeds
>>538822231There's no tutorials on how to make music so people just slap shit together
In my game, the player has flashbang grenades at his disposal. The enemies can't use them not because of some design choice but because I didn't bother to implement that to them. Now, while I'm waiting for the soundtrack guy to finish up, I've been thinking of giving the ability to throw flashbangs to the enemies. But that can be quite annoying, even if made rare.. what do /agdg/? Should I leave it as is or add the flashbang?
>>538824086>But that can be quite annoying, even if made rare..That annoyingness will only be experienced once. When you make another game in the future, you can just recycle your script. Think of the long run anon. Better be annoyed now, than later
I need help.I just feel so sad and nervous
>>538824217Nigga, I mean for the player.
>>538823237I thought it was cool
>>538824385Oh lmao. Then sure put it. If the difficulty is still fair (as if, the numbers), then the player will be even more thrilled when they beat an annoying npc. I suggest you separate 2 types of enemy, one that can, and one that cannot flashbang. This way, the player can make their own way to deal with the annoyingness
>>538824375Bible, and prayers.
>>538824375me too
>>538824375>>538825279You guys are pathetic.
>>538824375omg no dont kill yourself you're so cute
>>538748462Its 40 impressions not 40 clicks40 impressions is like 0-2 clicks
>>538825817An impression means jack shit because your game is limited to just a banner among thousands of other banners, which all converge into the same blob in the eyes of a mindless consumer.
so this is the power of baked lighting.........
STOP USING C++

what would you guys think about a hotline you can call and like press '1' for cool unity tips, or press '2' for design document tips or something
>>538828824best worst idea ever
>>538828824I hate to be that guy, but AI kind of makes this idea bunk, honestly
ok :(
maybe I'll make a phone choose your own adventure game
Maybe I'll use AI voice acting for my game
>>538828824sorry, I already have a service where you can mail in by post and I'll mail you back about how to use ogre3d
>>538820992>>538808673need more snood poasting
you could even press a number to get music from your favorite /agdg/ gameor some commentarywho knows
how about a service where you could ask questions on a message board and get fed misinformation by people who pretend to understand what they're doing
>>538821320unironically probably fygoonwhen he's containing his autism, the essence of his posting revolves around making games purely for the love of gaminghe doesn't really seem to care about making money, optimizing revenue, designing games for profitable audiences, maximizing his marketing, anything like thathe makes his autistic lizardslop because he has, dare i say, genuine passion for video gameswith this being said i still wholeheartedly renounce his melties, please never post such content again, fygoon

>>538830531Welcome to /agdg/! No crab in this bucket is successful and none of us are getting out!
FUCKING BITCH I WILL KIKL AND RALE
A game where you pilot a giant robot and fight giant invading aliens but the love interest is one of them?

>>538836538What's yo game? Itch.io or steam link?
>>538836386chill bro
would you come to the spooky cafe
I just added leaning to my game, after I completed every single level in the game.Maybe the gemmers will enjoy.
>player joins server>asks for a pirated copy>it's a free game
>>538837020rape and kill them
>>538837126don't do that
Everything about the steam cuts and taxes is all so confusingIf you sell 10,000 copies of a $10 game as an American, how much money do you get? $40,000?
>>538837154you don't have to worry about that
>>538837154if the game cost you $50,000 to make then that means you make $20,000 and steam makes $30,000. Thanks for contributing to my new yacht :)
>>538837126Do that and also kill his entire family
>>538837373I know steam's cut is 30% (Still a lot) but I'm trying to figure out how that other 70% gets dealt with for taxesI'm thinking about getting an accountant and incorporating
>>538836753As long as there's maids, yes.
anyone here do photo-bashed textures? do you ever find it limiting in any way?
>>538837475if you're going to make any significant volume of money you should seriously consider itin my case, I'm not incorporated because while that may make my personal funds liable to lawsuit, overall it's better for tax because I can average my earnings in a way businesses can't and the corporate fee just makes it worse until I'm earning in the higher tax bracket anyway.The 30% steam fee comes out before other taxes. Steam simply doesn't give that 30% to you. You only get the 70%, so you are only taxed on that 70%.Income tax applies when the funds reach your personal bank/wallet/moneyholdings. If your funds end up in a business, it'll be business taxed but won't be income taxed, at least not until you decide to pay that money to yourself.
>>538837403don't do that
>>538734458>>538820154https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Sf7tPSW6Qdudes, this game is cancer and aids. he's on nintendo switch so he's a nepo baby. try and apply for nintendo switch SDK, you can't get it unless you know somebody. plus the in game graphics have fake lowres you can literally see that the model underneath the pixels has a higher detail geometry, its like he's using a fake pixel shader or something, and then in the night vision mode it has screen tearing! probably fake as well, why the hell would you ever add screen tearing of all things to your game? This guy is a tosser I hope he gets hit by a bus.
>>538837731Yes. No.
>>538838101based
>>538838335>>538838335>>538838335
>>538837731Photo-bashed assets are probably the least limiting approach out of them all. You don't even need any serious drawing skill or use expensive software, just paint.net is enough and having a loose sense of "what looks good". Plus it's fast.
>>538838403i mean creating something fantasy or sci-fi is probably a bit harder since there aren't photos of these things IRL
>>538837154>>538837373>>538837475businesses only pay tax on declared profit. they get to subtract all business expenses from revenue before being left with any profit to distribute.you can pay yourself a wage as an employee which becomes a business expense, makes sense if your personal income tax is less than corporate tax + your personal income tax on the dividend disbursement.and then there is your dual 5090 SLI computer that you used to make your game with, a business expense. taken out of business revenue before profit or tax is calculated. so pre-tax money.and don't forget your ford mustang company car that you use to go to media junctures and gaming events with, its anime vinyl wrap is also your corporate advertising. all business expenses. As is its fuel usage when you drop a business card off at your destination or somewhere along the way, such as at the gas station.your home costs such as roof repair renovation, getting it lifted and built-in under, water bill, power bill, internet bill, are all pro-rata business expenses for your usage ratio as a home office.and your 3d printer that is used to make plastic clay miniatures for you to photo bash into your game is a business expense as is all your time spent learning or researching on YouTube.in fact every experiment or side hobby you've ever done was a documented in a log book corporate project that was part of you developing your product and is a business expense.I'm surprised your business will ever make any profit at all, you'll probably never make a dollar in profit after all these expenses and therefore never pay a dollar in tax, I know many of the worlds richest corps certainly don't.
>>538839397Very good mindset
>>538748594Sorry for the late reply, game industry wise, yes, it's a playable alpha, I just don't want to distribute it to anyone presently while work is done. Earlier, I said it is not an alpha or anything with the hope it would be a strongarm to avoid the alpha conversation haha. I know now that was stupid of me, but it's because I have heard the same arguments about how quickly games can be put together for game jams, and I get it, but I thoroughly am scrubbing this game while building it to prevent bugs now & future bugs. I want all scenarios to be handled without it being bloat and slow.So I wouldn't say I wasted two years, the project is coming along pretty great on my end, and concept art is looking great. Honestly the one thing I would say is bad is that I cannot find a good 3D modeler for the life of me. Pay isn't the problem, I have paid fair wages in the past and been very undemanding in regards to pressure.
