>>538838101>>538838309>shitting on an indie dev is le okay because he used ai voices!!!
Show me your prog
i don't know if my dopamine receptors are just absolutely fucked or if clicker games are just painfully boring to playi'm trying out some of these games to see what the appeal is and zero percent of my brain cares about themthey feel like chores, what's the appeal?
>>538838569Unironically yes. I'd rather read a text box, or even hear him do the voice acting himself with the aid of a voice changer, than have an AI voice it. It's so grating on the ears.
>>538838767>even hear him do the voice acting himself with the aid of a voice changerBut if the voice changer is AI based like the elevenlabs AI then it's suddenly le bad!!!Fucking retard tranny.
>>538836505Wait...
0*** left0** left0* left
>>538838101This would've been much more acceptable if they, instead of trying to voice act every single dialogue instance (especially because of their low budget) they just had a set of simple quips for each character that they would use.Even some of the biggest brands do this. Granblue Fantasy, which rakes in a ridiculous volume of money from being a popular gacha, doesn't fully voice act everything. Characters have simple quips such as "sore na ..." "hwa!" "daijoubu desu" "hmmm..." which can be laid over any text that it's relevant for.
>>538838719this is a list of the games i've been trying outhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2905170/Magic_Archery/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2495980/Arrow_a_Row/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1473350/the_Gnorp_Apologue/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3372980/Tower_Wizard/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3769130/Keep_on_Mining/https://store.steampowered.com/app/363970/Clicker_Heroes/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1454400/Cookie_Clicker/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3267900/Click_and_Conquer/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3359200/All_Aboard_The_Train_Defense_Express/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3361470/Digseum/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3107330/Nodebuster/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1013320/Firestone__Online_Idle_RPG/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1988550/To_The_Core/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3228180/Click_Mage/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3421300/Lyca/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3207880/Universe_Horizon/of course, they're not all clicker games, nor are they all idle games, they generally fall under the category of hypercasual incremental "toys" (i wouldn't really consider them to be real games)almost all of them made me feel very little excitement or enjoyment at alli can see the appeal of them providing an extremely low effort sense of progression, but that's about itthey're fun for about three minutes, until you get an understanding of what the gameplay is, and then ... ???why would i ever choose to play any of these?at most, the novelty of the premise of each game feels interesting, but then i unlock a few upgrades, get a glimpse into how the game will scale, and then, again, lose all interesthow the hell do these sorts of games do so well?
>>538839179Kill yourself tranny
show me the things you have made with PHOTOBASHED textures or stencil painted textures i want to see :)
>>538839254>Keep on Mining was made by a based Norwegian guy
>>538839762i checked out his socials, he's a chadi'm glad his games are doing well
>>538839397So godot devs can write off their bad dragon stuff?
>>538839571I used straight up photos as my textures not photobashing doe
>>538840879>straight upmore like GAY upbecause you're a faglol
after careful deliberation i have come to the conclusion that my approach to game design is completely false
>>538840879do you downscale them to make it more of a psx style? or keep them at the same res and just deal with possible inaccuracies. show me!

This is a fun question.What emotions is your game most likely to cause the player to feel?
>>538842120
>>538842120>What emotions is your game most likely to cause the player to feel?"Fuck, this thing was right here all along? Damn, I'm so stupid".

I can make any kind of game. There's nothing that's technically beyond my means. It will just take a long time and not have enough appeal when finished because in 2025 your game needs to be in the top 5% to have been worth developing.
>>538838335Elisha is the best self improvement youtube channel. Not a shill, not selling you a dream etc. Just gives good geniune advice.
woke up early for the ninty direct
>>538842762>There's nothing that's technically beyond my means.It feels good to reach this level of skill. I feel similar, and my main concern isn't with if I can make a game or not, but what sort of game I should make, based on how long it will take to finish, as I'm a little bit impatient, and how much I'd personally enjoy the final product of the game. It's hard to make my mind up with finding a balance of passion and development cost. I'm experimenting with idle games because they seem like a genre that allows for strong thematic expression and fast development speed, but the lack of mechanical gameplay makes me want to scrap my project and work on something more conventional.
>>538842762>I can make any kind of game.Okay. Make an RPG systems based game in 3D and with full on voice acting.
>>538843296Did you not read the rest of his post? The development time would take too long. I assume he wants the process to remain profitable.
>>538841308retard
>>538842695ave, GMIcus
>>538842695>black character
Making a little burning torch is a bit more janky than I expected.
enticement
shotgun has more sounds n is better animated nowthe tutorial rererework is gonna get done todayi gotta study for my drivers liscence still
>>538843390Then he can't "make any kind of game".
>>538843649characters shouldn't carry torchers in front of their faces because the glare would blind them. torches should be carried above eye level. be the first gamedev that gets this right.
>>538843898Yes he can.
>>538843885how do you texture all of this?
>>538843898>you can't make a game profitable? then you can't make a game.retard.
>>538844109probably something similar to thishttps://youtu.be/2a_VtQJHkb8?t=253
if i won the lottery my life would look the exact same as it does nowmaking games is incredibly fun
imagine making a 3D RPG in 2025
>>538844109literally all 3D assets for this game are free from itchBUT for stuff like my little buratino hereit depends, if its something that already exists i find pictures online and put together a texture sheet for it, you could do this easily for the shotgunif not, i draw it by hand
>look at game>think it sucks>check reviews>3,000, overwhelmingly positivei might have become jaded
>>538844597no, you're just a hyperentitled gamerbrained piece of shit. it's impossible to please you consoomer scum
>>538844494cool, all the best for your game anon
How long after putting the Steam page up should a game be released? I'm targeting Steam page in December at the latest then launch 3 months after.
>>538838680i dont have prog anymore because my depression and self esteem problems made me stop all game dev...
Posted my demo day demo on Reddit. Got like 40 more people to play it, but no one left any feedback beyond "this is fun." Why are Redditors so useless?
Should've made a dig-like.
>>538844670that could be true>>538844735the only reason to delay launch after the page is public is to farm wishlists/gain attention for your game before release, and make more moneyif you don't care about money, you can release it as soon as possibleif you want to increase revenue, advertising the game while the page is active is a good way to gain wishlists and build "launch momentum"steam's promotion algorithm works through revenue periods, so amount of revenue your game generates in a short period of time, normally a week, i think, directly relates to how much promotion your game receivesif you release a game and make 10 sales, your game will remain hidden, revenue is too lowif you make the store page public, farm wishlists from advertising and promotion campaigns, release your game afterwards, and get 1000 sales, the revenue your game has generated will increase the exposure it receives on steamit all really depends on how much you want to set your game up for steam algorithm promotion after launchkeep in mind, your game can have a weak launch and still find success later on, there is no "dead" point for a game in regards to the algorithmif you release a game, and it's stagnant for years, but then it suddenly blows up and becomes popular, the algorithms will notice the increase in revenue, and begin promoting your gameso again, it really depends on how much money you plan on makingi don't know what your game is, but three months should be a decent amount of time to build hype for an indie game with humble expectations, just be sure you're posting about it and building support
>>538845091>popular game but in unreal with multiplayer why do "asians" do this
>>538844597>play game>it sucks>a lot of people like it>its ok because audience targets are a thingits that simple
How would you make a game based off this image?
>>538845470hence why i said "think it sucks"my taste in games is very abnormal
I don't want to go into work early....
>>538838719If you're just getting into clicker games you're in for a bad time because it feels like someone just released a tutorial for a game where you're in an arena while your health is ticking down, and when you die the skill tree is a node tree with marginal upgrades and everyone is copying it without adding anything useful.If you want the good ones you have to go back a few years, here are some of the best ones the genre has to offer in my opinion, based on the fact that they're not just "number go up" but actually add interesting mechanics:Universal PaperclipsAlkahistorian SeriesCrankA Dark RoomCandy Box 1 & 2Wigmaker
>>538844849Same.. I made no progress this week. It's hard to get motivated and do shit with depression. I'm going to try to make some prog today. Good luck fren, I hope you get out of the rut today
how the FUCK do i make fantasy psx stuff if im just photo bashing. do i need to hand paint this?
>>538845091https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOJdA4JDLBV/this was shilled on social media pretty aggressivelyi remember seeing a post while scrolling instagram reels, not the one i linked, but another onethe top comment had 50,000 likes, and was insulting the game for being friendslopthe slop -> shill formula seems to work pretty well
>>538846094lol, sounds like you're describing nodebuster and all of the clones it inspiredi'll check those games out, thanks
management/business sim where instead of making cars or games or whatever you make fembots.you need to pay attention to market trends, to take advantage of economies of scale, to incorporate latest hardware, etc.but there's also a tower defense component (I thought xcom like tactics component but let's avoid the tactics curse) where hordes of feminists want to burn down your factory and your fembots are the only ones who can defend it so as you progress you need to balance the fembots' market appeal with their combat capabilities.please someone start making this so I don't project hop again.
>>538846427Yeah that's the one, really ruined browsing itch for new games.You could also scroll through https://galaxy.click for other stuff, it's a fairly decent site for games.There's also https://plaza.dsolver.ca/games but it's currently down, worth to check every now and then to see if it's up.As a last resort there's also the weekly game recommendation thread on r/incremental_games, the sub used to be a good place to find games but like 2 or so years ago the genre kinda flatlined.
>>538846117this week? i have made zero progress since i released my game one year ago
>>538846827>r/incremental_gamesit seems the users there noticed the same problems you havehttps://www.reddit.com/r/incremental_games/comments/1ndx45w/someone_obviously_used_an_evil_genie_to_wish_for/i think this genre is due for a revivala high quality incremental game would be perfect right now, especially in contrast to the flood of low effort clones being released
Released update, I'll push it to itch. But one of the bigger things I don't have the time today to look at.
how hard is it to make a traditional rpg in rpgmaker if you have 0 knowledge or experience with game and mechanics design
>>538849231very hard
>>538849231very easy
Chris Wilson inspired me to work on my hardcore action rpg anime minecraft game again
Currymongrel status?
>>538849942Probably
>>538849292>>538849413okwhat about if i just want to make a mystery vn game? kind of like danganronpa but without the 3d
>>538849231my first one took 3 months and my second 2 weeks, I could remake the first game in less than a month now if I wanted to with the same quality it ended up being.
>>538850659how long was it?
>>538850818Around 10 hours of content. The main RPG maker has dungeon generators you can edit and get plugins for messing with it, making layouts doesn't take long. Once the sprites are set up, map creation is quick and easy where you can do a massive chunk of them in an hour. Don't use the default sprites they are fucking ass.
>>538851013did you breakeven or profit?
Opinions on gdevelop?
>>538837154>>538837475Ask an accountant, not /agdg/.
>>538851013damn, thats really cool. will check out making both an rpg and a mystery game in rpgmaker then.
>gamedev youtuber>calls himself a professional gamedev>has barely broken 5 figures of revenuei really look forward to their downfall
>>538851736>lives in a third world favela shithole where 3 dollars make you rich
hopefully updating the steam tags will help for a moment
>>538851121I profited but it wasn't an insane amount.>>538851636good luck.
>>538851456it's a good game engine, it has a bunch of flaws and utter lack of control where using unity/unreal is better for most game ideas. I've faced many problems where making it in Unity/Unreal wouldn't have those problems and workarounds. Only use it for smaller games.
>>538844494You know, I will actually consider taking a look at your game just because you decided to base the characters on Buratino instead of Pinocchio.Please, when you have a demo going, make a Mac port.
>>538850552much easier
anything you post here I will be copyrighting and I plan on suing you when you release your game.
>>538838680No

>>538844440Theoretically, since zoomers and alphas lack any kind of attention span, arcade-type games should be making a return. Just short and addictive games.

lol I guess I won't release in September then
For the last couple of weeks I felt like I was doing the most soul-crushing work possible. I just get up and dev for the entire day. That's my life now.
>>538862434that's cool and all buddy, but being an unemployed jobless loser solodev isn't going to pay the bills
>>538862203That games been out for a year. Unless you're releasing on Switch why are you worried?
>>53886299225 is when they go from Early Access to full release? Sounds like the perfect time for 1 week of /v/ threads.
>>538859895>how is this even fun?The fun behind most tabletop games comes from making the best of what you're given and outplaying your opponent, and most non-RPG tabletop games are relatively short so they can be enjoyed in small bursts. A game of dominion for example goes for about 10-20 minutes. But the downside is that you need a table to play on, and in most cases, someone to play with. With video games you don't need any of that.
Summoned a friend to help me work on my game...
>>538863209She is very eager to help

The last progress I made was making the gravity work on hollow planetoids, but now I am focussing on polishing the game's ui, adding control remapping and fixing the bullets square in the middle of the screen to have making a demo for newgrounds and itch, gather feedback and start polishing the demo for steam I have to finish the crazy laughs animation

Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 700 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY

Seriously, alcohol is like the cheatcode for easy breezy living, it's amazing.Easy progress with anything you want to accomplish, great satisfying relaxation feelings, you are funnier and more cool and people like you more.Ahhhhh, even just thinking about it starts getting me feeling good.

AI voice acting is literally the most ethical use of generative AI.The voice actors on sites like ElevenLabs both consented and are being paid when you use their voice.Both AI code and AI art models are trained on the stolen works of creators who will never see a dime for what the AI produces.Guess what /agdg/ is okay with though?

It's fucking always like this with anti-AI trannies - you start digging deeper into them and they don't just not understand the tech they're talking about, they don't even have logical thinking or reasoning. It makes sense then that these people cave in to peer pressure and general consensus like this. Makes me think back to that 4chan screencap of "is this true?"

No, I just like to play the long game and expose your snake-like chats. Every now and again I'll make a new Discord to shitpost, but I always keep a few spy accounts going.Good luck figuring out which Discord accounts with no profile picture it is (here's a hint: it's not dus)

Damn dude, I just realized there are only 4 fundamental interactions in a video game. The thing of colliding with an area/rigidbody, the thing of a timer, the thing of a state in the FSM triggering it, and the thing of a raycast. Literally, there’s no other way for characters to interact with the player.

Wait a second, chuds.There's four basic interactions between characters in videogames, but there's also a limited number of victory conditions in games.Basically the victory conditions are race to the first position, reach to X position alive, survive waves of enemies, control more territory, gain more points, collect all tokens, kill a certain enemy, protect an object.And there's a limited number of game overs, basically reach 0 HP, allied token dies, reach the end of the level and timer.

I just realized a game doesnt need 500 hours of 500 levels, It only needs a proper theme story being told using a basic hero's journey adventure, and the properly set a collection of levels thematically coherent with the plot, where there is a game over transition condition, a bridge cutscene, and a proper combat mode made of the 4 basic interactions symbolically representing the theme conflict, and some game over and victory conditions to the stage level play.

Let's say I have an achievement that goes: score 10, 20, 30, 40... points. I'm planning on checking the player score in player stats when game loads and if the player score is 35, I will mark it as player has achieved first 3 levels of this achievement. So if I later change the numbers it won't create a confusion. I won't have separate achievements as "score 10 points", "score20 points"... I will have one achievement with array of milestone values. This is correct right? I thought this was smart so I can adjust them later and also I was planning on just making local achievements, then I thought I would need to structure my achievements in the second way if I want to register to the app store, google play or steam. I haven't tried setting achievements at the store side so I don't know how things work.

>>538902291yes it's just an array is all it is and you're checking what the player's index is in the array upon load, yes. achievements in any store are hardly any extra code, same logic applies and you let the store know
>>538900780sorry but begging for fanart online will never not sound pathetic to meis it even fanart at that point?

I really like the vague storytelling in this game, also this has been the longest demo of all for me, I can't believe the dev left so many levels here. I agree a bit with the streamer that some checkpoints/spawn points would've been welcome in some levels (the second level is a bit too long). The first area of the second world is more or less cinematic for instance. I've been enjoying it so far, the music is amazing.
how will you design a rougelite with lots of bosses? like hades only has like 5 bosses but what if i want 15-20 bossess?
>>538863885I didn't. I don't buy or play early access games and I've been waiting for the final release.

>>538903987boss rushbut you should make one boss before you settle on 15-20
>>538903987Have all bosses be chosen at random, have each biome choose from a set of bosses at random, or have lots of biomes, one for each bossI'd pick the second option
my controllers left analog is sticking slightly when I move it to the right and now I feel like I'm not getting the full gamefeel when I playtest its so over

>>538904827I don't know if he's aware of it or not, but he's doing that monopolist thing where they use their economies of scale competitive advantage to drive down prices so that competitors can't enter the market.Not that there's anything wrong with that (monopolies forcing lower prices is part of why "monopolies are good, actually") per se, it's just kind of odd what with how the fans try to pretend the game is some anti-monopoly/anti-caplitalism thing.

Debating implementing "attack while moving" in my ARPG. Personally I think it sucks but it feels like every modern ARPG is starting to have it.

Playing POE2 again this time with Hollow Palm Technique and I'm finally having fun with the game. You know I've wondered about this for a long time but why is it an ARPG standard that melee characters have to be on a constant loot treadmill but wizard characters get to use their weapons as mere statsticks?
>>538911527*indie games
>>538911791why would anyone play this over fortnite
>>538911692Having options for player expression is always good. The guns serve their purpose, especially on replays. I also see nothing wrong with letting people bruteforce things personally.
>>538911791>why is it an ARPG standard that melee characters have to be on a constant loot treadmill but wizard characters get to use their weapons as mere statsticks?idk what you mean by this
>>538911124This is true, especially for bandwagon moral crusaders. Most people don't have the maturity to understand themselves, let alone other people. That's different from the kind of real empathy that creatives use to create truly moving pieces of art.
>>538912490in most games you start with a 1-4 dagger then upgrade it to a 2-8 dickdagger then a 3-12 dickassdagger and constantly have to get better and better base items in addition to needing better enchantments on top of the superior base weapon, whereas a wizard can find a +1 fire skill wand and use it from levels 5-50 until they find a +2 fire skill wand instead of having spell damage be based on your wand's base damage
>>538911791Don't fix what ain't broke. Plenty of PoE attacks are basically magic and plenty of PoE spells are basically melee.

What kind of game would suit this style? Neon cities, skyscrapers, main character has a high apartment overlooking the city, etc.
>>538912689I don't know of any games that do that do I can only guess. My guess would be that having a melee weapon is relatively boring compared to the fantasy of being able to cast spells, so in order to spice of the "boring" melee fantasy developers add more incentives for melee players to change out their weapon. Whereas people who like playing as wizards are perfectly fine using the same shit as long as they get to shoot fireballs.
>>538914273prompt?
>>538914360I found it on google
>>538914273Literally any game you want. This sort of sanitized cyberpunk slop is as overdone as high fantasy at this point. As long as you have neon light (it has to be pink and blue) and giant signs in Japanese (only Japanese, no other languages allowed) normies will eat it up.

>didn't invent calculus and theory of computingYou didn't make the game.
>>538918951If you want to make a game (or any piece of media) set in the modern world you need to have a really good reason for it. It's difficult to create compelling stories within a modern environment since many people play games/read books/watch movies as an escape from the real world. They often don't want to be presented with the same problems they might encounter in their own lives, they want something different.An obvious exception to this is when you take en existing story set in a different time period and move it to the modern day, which helps the viewer/reader/whatever better relate to the themes of the story by viewing the characters in scenarios they're more familiar with.

i think empathy as a game developer is mildly overratedyou can just make a game you specifically enjoy and gaslight people into liking itkojima style
>>538926773I've said this many times before, but Kojima has the luxury of a multimillion dollar marketing budget. If you also have that, then sure, go ahead. If not, then you do not have the resources necessary to gaslight people into playing something that they do not already want to play.

>>538927797Your contacts from college, you did go to college and rub elbows with business majors and the like, right anon?
>>538927797That's called getting a publisher.
>>538927675>The estimated amount of money spent promoting the first Metal Gear Solid game was about $8 million. This figure comes from reports stating that Konami’s promotional efforts for the 1998 release—including television and magazine advertisements, in-store sampling, and distributing 12 million demo discs—totaled around that amount. This was a major marketing push at the time, contributing to the game's huge success and global visibility.
>>538928019Yes but mobile publishers are interested in hyper casuals that would make shitloads of money. There are small publishers but those are interested in pc games unfortunately.

I was very skeptical of myself. Now looking back, I realize I could have finished my game long time ago but my mind was just not in peace. These days I'm feeling more calm and collected but the damage has been done.It's a single player 2d basketball shooting game by the way. So it's nothing exciting for potential investors I think.

it feels wrong when your project consists of only control nodes, even though it makes sense it should be that way for text/point-and-click-based games.
Important question for you guys.For an item shop game like Recettear, how important is the dungeon crawling mechanic as a way to acquire items. I'm not gonna make a full on dungeon crawling game so I'm left with two choices. Either I make it like in that My life as a king ff game where it just says the party defeated x,y,z monsters and brought back a,b,c items or I have an old rpg style combat with the heroes and monsters on opposite sides of the screen and they just play animations on their own until one side dies. In that case the monsters would drop items and it would be up to you to either continue and risk losing it all for more items or return with what you got. You would not do much directly though it would be autobattler-like. Is watching the fights and choosing whether to keep going or not that much more fun than just getting a report saying to what extent the party succeeded?
the age of the inner circlehas come to an end
>>538938097Very. The Recettear shop gameplay is braindead garbage once you know how it works. The dungeon crawling is the fun reward you get for performing well while dealing with the shop grind.
my project has hit the point where it has 100+ code files and i can no longer remember wtf anything is or how it fits together and so progress has stalled to almost nothing
/v/ always talks about shills but through which channels does one genuinely hire people to stealth market your game on social media?
>>538930240>Every time you try to do a thing that might be challenging your brain shutdown and forces you to avoid your taskEvery time you try to do a thing that might be challenging your brain gets scared and you choose to avoid your task*FTFY
>>538938097I've played Recettear twice and I have never bothered with the dungeon crawling.It plays like shit and it's not profitable.If you need a side-activity I think you should replace it with something else. I don't know, maybe auctions or store marketing or something.
>>538938496Bombay Internet Marketing Solutions Ltd.
>>538838335Man I remember I used to watch this guy, good to see he's still kicking around. Also not to get political but I accidentally gave shit to a twitter post about this guy who was mocking Kirks passing while using my game dev account, but I said F it, I'll leave it up, and it got quite a lot of likes and got a few steam purchases from my dead game from years ago. Is now the time to be political as a game dev for potential buyers?
>>538938639>>538938097I don't see how auctions would be vastly different to how the item shop plays out. The store marketing feels like a place for events. Expanding on the events beyond just price differences would liven it up compared to Recettear somewhat, but without the dungeon crawling side gimmick the game seems bare
>>538939149Isn't the whole point of the game that you essentially play as what would be an NPC in a typical fantasy game?The dungeon crawling always felt out of place for me. Not to mention it plays like if Ys made in Pakistan.The auction idea was just that, an idea off the top of my head. You can do whatever you want.Maybe flesh out the rivalry thing with the HOHOHOHOHO anime girl.
>>538939421I personally have no issue with just the item shop portion since that was always the core of the game. I'm just wandering how important a side minigame would be to break the monotony of only doing the shop, whether irrelevant or needed.
>>538940029Even if dungeon crawling was good, I think it'd still be pretty low in importance.Because you level up from running the store and getting combos along the way, and that in turn unlocks more things like new items, orders, vending machines, and decorations.The game is also arguably too short to be repetitive.I guess it depends on what changes you are planning to make to the core selling gameplay. Also, playtesting. If people don't tell you it's repetitive then perhaps you don't need to worry about it.
I've killed and raped a million devs. I'll kill and rape a million more.
>>538939016Could you link the tweet?
>>538941183don't do that
I've been adding upgrades to items.This is afterglow. It increases your sight by 1 for a period of time after using the light.
>>538941471kind of odd to see you ended up specializing towards roguelikes. Your game ideas were always some of the more interesting ones at one point.
>>538935351neat
i'm setting it to 1342, but apparently it needs to be set to 592. why 592? 1342 makes more sense. incidentally, those two numbers are exactly 750 apart. but i don't know what's 750.

>>538941885>upgrades are oddthat's perhaps the strangest take i've ever seen in this general
A surge of gamedev euphoria is hitting me.What do I do with it?
>>538944879quick! stop multi line posting and dev!
Just found out Brazil has more homicides than the entire rest of the world combined.I take back everything I said about cris, he's hanging in there pretty well actually.
>>538946807calm down
>>538946807please dont say the n-word again, sir
>>538944851That's not what I said

Janny fucking cunt you die today
>>538946604
>>538946728>mfw the game has a gun that shoot balls in it
it's hard to create anything in life when you simply dont care about anything. i dont know how to care.
my favorite thing about video games is flashy lights and cool noises
>>538928682Make a steam version of same gameSell both to a pc games publisher maybe
>>538949071yeah cause you're a mobiletoddler/consoletoddler
My game is the ultimate synthesis of several genres of fiction and games
>>538949327Gonna kill you now, fucking bitch fuck
>>538949175yeah
>>538949381What's going on?
>>538938097Pacing out your game into strategy -> execution -> more strategy is just good game designIf you ditch the dungeoneering execution loop, you should probably replace it with something elseSomething cheaper to develop obviously. You could just minigamify dungeoneering somehow to remain on theme, but not require all the mechanics. Like picrel for example.
>>538949381settle down, okay?
>import new song as wav into Godot>add it to the audio player script>start the scene where it should play>silence>go over the code again>everything seems correct>1 hour later>realize the wav file is 28MB and probably taking ages to load or not loading at all>convert it to ogg>plays just fineIf you weren't retarded your game would already be finished.

>>538952819that's called a gacha game
I'm going to dev now. Wish me luck, frens
>>538952986indeed
>>538946604How about a game that's addicting but also infuriating?You hate the game but also can't stop playing.
>>538953976>what are rage games
>>538855593Is it a porn game?
>>538860089Probably that is not enough in today's market anon

>>538956890told you it was inevitable
>>538956890Brush bros....it's over.
>>538956890does seeing this make you feel better about yourself? what if they actually made it?
>>538955525who the fuck cares about itch.io reviewsitch.io is so easy to bot you could spam CP on every single page on the site and nothing would be done for at least 48 hours despite the fact you spammed it from one account and everybody reported you
>>538957021it's the hexagod guy>>538956890the worst thing is the cope about his budget>line going down for all months except one is actually a good thingsure
>>538956038Anon $3,500 a month isn't even the average monthly salary in the United States
>>538957021>Brush brosUnironically i don't hate the guy. He's a slimly salesman but he actually did put in the work to make gamedev a career as he's about to prove himself for a 3rd time.>>538957030It's not personal, it's about what they represent. It's the celebration of taking extremely stupid risks for low pay outs and thinking it's a good life decision. These are people who release a mediocre game or worse off haven't released a game at all and then quit their jobs thinking they are going to make it big. It's not about providing a game for others to enjoy, it's about their own 'personal journey'. If they are a loser working a deadend job then fine, you have nothing else to look forward to so YOLO. If you have a mortgage, wife and kids then I don't want to world to reward such reckless selfish behavior.
>>538957795I like how you automatically assume the dev lives in a Western country.
>>538957808>he's about to prove himself for a 3rd time.wait, what's he working on now? isn't it gonna take years to release another game?
Who's this vercel dude? and why his list doesn't take note of what game to include?also put me on the thread pasta pleasehttps://store.steampowered.com/curator/39041835/
>>538957795they shouldn't make a single cent out of that shit though
>>538958013All thirdies should fucking leave /agdg/. Everything is about money with those dickheads.
>sit down>yeah its time to create an environment for my game>5 minutes later>yeah thats too much work I ain't doing thatgamedev moment
>>538960580I have something like 200 textures I need to make, and a dozen animated models. Every time I open blender or krita I just stop because it's too much.
I made extra graphic showing which item you're going to use in a conversation. I'm debating if I should change the distance between dialog options to accomodate for the items as they're a little too big. Also ignore the text going out from the textframe, I think I'll just shorten the text. >>538960580haha same
>have to wait till new thread to post progress again
>>538961037>>538961189especially when you could've been doing something more productive like an actual work that makes money
Chasing trends is guaranteed failure. You won't have enough passion to make the game worth the money. It will suck. Don't bother.Stick with your passion. Don't view gamedev as a get rich quick scheme. You will fail.

Why can't you get a random thing from dictionaries? Why isn't that possible?
How do you dev while having a headache?
>>538964670Couldn't it be selfmade?Like read the dictionary size, and randomize it, or something like that?
>>538964726advil?of maybe you're having a caffeine withdrawal headache?
one and a half hours left and i can finally take a breakwhat are you guys going to do after you're done
>>538964860I discovered that you must "get the keys of the dictionary as an array" then you "get a random key from that" and "use the key on the dictionary"rofl
>>538964865>caffeine withdrawalbut my coffee consumption is stable
>>538964670dict[dict.keys[rand(0,dict.keys.length)]]
Good morning guys! :D
next thread please

What would be the most straightforward program to do a dead simple 3D exploration game with a little movement mechanics?I want to make some simple environments to explore and just keep it simple.
>>538964670you can use shuffle in arrays.var keys = dictionary.keys()keys.shuffle()var chance = randi_range(0, keys.size())return dictionary[keys[0]]return dictionary[keys[chance]]
Why is everyone sayin that UE has bad performance when indie games made with UE run great compared to poonity and godont? I don't get it

>>538953976That's also dopamine, like with gambling, I suppose.
