my game won't have little girls on it, i am not sorry.
After watching yesterday's direct, I can only say Nintendo is evil. These niggers limit is the depth of your wallet. There's nothing to get out of console gaming anymore.
>>538968346Here some progress of this week:1) New crystal helper “Energizing Crystal”- replenishes energy (for characters with energy)2) New crystal helper “Support Crystal”- Restores health (only works in combat or when health is low)
My goals for today:>model something>learn how to unwrap it>learn how to texture it>get the texture into Blender and onto the modelWhat should I make?
>>538969029Literally mogs blackpill losers just existing
>>5389698503) Redesigned the selection of new characters, now there are two rosters instead of one, separately for level 1 beginners and experienced adventurers.4) After unlocking all 24 character slots, a second tab appears in the tavern with a limit of 24 more character slots.
>>538969875Is that your thread enemy in the picture? Why does he look like bokube?
>>538969867>What should I make?Pong.Blender is not gamedev.
Doing some brainstorming but getting naught but a drizzle.
>>538969029My hero
>>538969029>>538969875He launched his game 4 months ago. His wife is mentally building a case for leaving him, but that takes time even if her logistics are in place and they probably aren't.
Quite frankly, Papers Please is lame. What, choose between ethics and saving your dying family? Boooring. In a really dystopian future, you should have to balance ethics ...and your pet bunny. Take notes, chumps.
>>538969094Yeah, it's called being a woman. You just like buying shit to make up for your lack of a personality.
Items show up in the dialog box now when you can use them in a conversation.

https://forum.defold.com/t/issues-with-comparing-file-contents-in-if-statements/81545defoldbros they're escaping the godot containment and invading our chud enginewhat do we do?
>>538972000That's a great quality of life improvement actually. Maybe the same could be done to all item prompts? Like combining items. I also think pickable items in the overworld should be outlined or more attention grabbing, that would make the item system more fun.
>>538972580>I'm happy at my jobthis nigga happy at his job
>>538972627I gave it an honest try, but the whole message parsing shit just was too confusing
>>538972580I got into gamedev out of financial desperation. It worked out for me (so far) but I still envy people who can simply get jobs.
>>538972580Sorry. Once you go corporate you can never go back, it's like selling your soul. I know a corpodev when I see one.
>>538972705trueit's a solution that doesn't require making new icons, too. dirk is improving
>I got into gamedev out of financial desperation
>>538973501it's literally just more powerful signals, the editor makes it confusing as fuck to find the right id but once you understand messaging it's incredibly powerful and efficient, defold is the only engine where i don't mind refactoring because of messaging
>>538973940Awesome. Maybe I should implement something similar in my game too...
>>538972580>I don't see how this creates valueThat's your soul telling you you need to make something that matters, not a crappy emulation of a retro game.My advice is to actually watch better cinema and read literature and read history books.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf8EYbVxtCYThe value of real art, is one that allow you to see like a mirror the human soul, naked, in all the good things, but also to recognize the horrors of what lies in our history.We need games that are bold and willing to show future generations a warning so they can improve.Make a game about genocide of kids in gaza, but make it in a smart way, not le edgy dead kids.Make a game about enviromental destruction of animals and plants by corporations.Make a game about racial discrimination of inmigrants.Make a game about religious conflicts.Make a game about wealth disparity.Make a game about poverty.Make a game about people that dissapears on dictatorship for just having a diferent opinion.
>>538972705Thanks, I was showing the game to younger kids and they were focusing mainly on picking stuff but interactions with characters were always the most confusing part for them. I want to keep picking up items in the overworld and combining items the way it's now. Items are visible enough, I think, and some, like mushrooms, that seem to be just a part of the scenery, are much more visible once you read that one book with cooking recipes.
>>538974950Make a game about throwing communists out of helicopters on other communists.
i always forget cris is a commie that defends china
I think I figured out why the platforming genre has faced a complete rejection by Steam players.1) Saturation. Too many low quality slop coming out.2) Foreign markets like China don't have nostalgia for platformers since they didn't grow up with NES, SNES etc.3) Zoomers grew up with 3D platformers like Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank.
>>538975256lol you newfags dont know that cris is schizophrenic and switches personalities all the time? although he always has been anti-war as far as i remember
>>538974950ok cris
>>538975849modern war is not le fun sword game of le ancient based samurai that fight with le trained bullshido of the anime summon syphil nintendo skill.modern war is just being droned and bombed without a chance to cover.It's just the murder of civilians as a way to make sure the other surrenders.There's no glory on modern war, unless you consider bombing childrens with a missile to be some honorable code of modern bullshido.
>>5389752611. The audience for platformers was never huge, they were just the only games coming out. Indie games as a whole really exploded when other genres started being explored.2. Platformers as a whole have stagnated hard and players want new things.
>>538975261>Foreign markets like China don't have nostalgia for platformers since they didn't grow up with NES, SNES etc.not true, there were dozens of NES ripoffs produced in china, Ending-man, Terminator, Dandy, Pegasus, most pirate originals were done by chinese programmers.t. proud owner of 168 in 1 cartridge
>>538975075Interesting.>>5389752612d formers still do well, like Ambidextro. Also, didn't China create lots of bootlegs for the NES and SNES?
>>538974950You don't have a soul
>>538976639Not that interesting, have you seen these Paw patrol games? 600 dog treats in a level, 10 levels, $40 please. These games aren't going on sale either, Witcher 3, Dead Island, Dying Light, MGSV, Serious Sam, all of these games went at least once for -80% now, Paw Patrol is like -30% at best. But do you know what's the latest fad? Brainrots. If you can make a shitty platformer with brainrots to collect kids will kill their parents to play it.That's your Dirk's tip of the day.
>>538969029TOTAL SASQUATCH B DOMINATION
>>538969156did he lol?
>>538975261>the platforming genreThis is like saying "the third person genre".There are many different types of games that use a 2D side scrolling perspective but offer wildly different gameplay systems and appeal to wildly different audiences. Celeste and Blasphemous are both platformers and yet those games are nothing alike.Certain types of platformers are oversaturated, sure. After Celeste's success a ton of devs started making "movement platformers" that all had air dashes, wall jumps, wall slides, etc. where the goal was to just traverse platforms without dying. But there are still ways to iterate on the platformer template and make something new and interesting. Like what Dirkdev is doing by combining platformer elements with traditional adventure game elements >>538972000 . I'm surprised there aren't more modern games like that already.
>>538969029>housewasn't he getting a loan for his mortgage do develop a game?
>>538979013cropollution 2 will pay for dat
>>538975261
I want to make a mystery game set in a very specific type of environment but I cant think of any ideas for the plot past a certain point.I've decided I'm just going to make the entire environment first until I have a fleshed out world I can walk around in, then see if I can get inspiration based on what I have for how the story can progress.I like this idea, I think it could be fun.
>>538977924>BrainrotsI still don't know what this word (noun) means.
>>538974184Is this the haunted chocolatier keep hearing about
>>538979335how tf do people jerk off to thisthere's so much porn of this character
>>538978768True, but it's not that fresh. I think that Dizzy The Adventurer did that already and I'm kinda taking elements from that game too. I'm also pretty sure there were games like that in the Amiga/Commodore times and they've been phased out by Mariolikes, Soniclikes and Megamanlikes.>>538979528AI generated images that combine two ideas, like shark wearing sportshoes or ballerina with a cappucino head. Also they originated from italy, I guess it's also important.
>>538979786teenagers with hormonal imbalance will jerkoff to characters from games they play, this is the character for that generationjust like yours jerked off to sonic or whatever
>>538979786like most pornsick freaks they just draw a generic anime body and swap the head out
>>538953187We don't like anime over here. Don't post tranime pictures if you want devs to wish you luck.
>>538980404>replying to a 10 hours old tranime postwhy toughthere are literal progress posts in this thread without feedback
Normal people feel bad about doing that to their waifu
>>538979786People with an unironic porn addiction like to pornify everything. Although I'm sure most artists give her fat tits and thighs, most porn is not on-model

When was the last time you had a drink, buddy?
>>538980918>Equivocating an entire medium of artSome anime is great, and some of it is shit. They are not all the same.
>>538981253I'm so glad that I can shit out my music myself.
shit out is right
>>538981921Well, some people just want to make something good and not "shit out music".
>>538969850Good UI art.
now that the dust has settled, what went wrong? farming games do well on steam and it's made by a big youtube gamedev

>>538982902funny of you to assume this is exclusive to godot. unreal is significantly worse at this. I haven't had godot do this to me yet but I also compile it myself to be on the latest version. thanks for the reminder to push my updates, though.
So I've got a bunch of little guys pathfinding through a map and then shooting each other on sight, but I can't make up my mind about the bullet effects. The aesthetic I'm going for is a retro 3-bit computer simulation of two forces zerg rushing each other in various settings. Ideally there will be at least a couple hundred soldier objects on screen at once using my laptop's performance as a benchmark.A: bullets appear instantaneously within a radius centered on the enemy, superposition means a hit, otherwise play impact animationB: same as above but with short lines drawn at the ends of the bullet's implied pathC: bullet is a solid object projected from the shooter at nigh-hitscan speed, destroys self after travelling x pixels in length, impact animation if it hits a wall, destroys self and target on collision

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? Hint: Its not AI voice acting.

>>538968346https://store.steampowered.com/app/3059390/Hexagod/His gf left him for 73 reviews he might never find another partner, most devs won't even make it to 73 reviews. What can we learn from this?
You do include refund instructions into your game in case it's too hard, right? Wouldn't want to steal money from some normie who's not a real gamer.
>>538991183pffft that's fucking zasedthe game is not hard at all though, Northernlion played it...

Accidentally doubled FPS and fixed frame timing by disabling adaptive vsync which seems to be straight up broken.Dunno if I should kill juan or celebrate.
>>538991183I for one love games that insult the player that do poorly.I remember one FMV lawyer game where if the killer gets off scott-free the judge says "I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD MAIL-ORDER LAW SCHOOL!"

>>538969094I did the same as you some years ago lol. You're avoiding discomfort and struggle. Just embrace it as much as you can handle it.The reasons could vary, watch this:https://youtu.be/xW9H0s2PcoAhttps://youtu.be/J1X3U9JX3rAhttps://youtu.be/0CjzCB9Nre4https://youtu.be/ewHVHPGS_LU>>538992568hmm, so that means that I would be able to play your game now?
>>538995652>hmm, so that means that I would be able to play your game now?Besides the vsync fix I optimized a few other things, I'll have an updated demo for SAGE 2025 so tell me how that goes.
>>538969094>be me>watched bob ross that one time he went viral because twitch>want to learn how to paint>buy a bunch of expensive paints and brushes>follow bob ross tutorials>after a dozen failures, managed to make a few dozen decent paintings>gift the best ones to friends and family for christmas>they love it and I still see them hung on their walls whenever I go and visit>feels good manIt's that easy. Maybe you're just retarded and know that you're incapable of getting past the dozen failures required to git gud.
>>538968148The theory I've seen floated is that the devs working with UE5 don't understand the engine and that Nanite, if used on a traditional workflow that basically every development studio uses, will singularly fuck your entire game up. Because Nanite is built to render everything in a frame. Things that are hidden by overlap aren't rendered because they're treated like they don't exist. This way, Nanite lets you utilize full scale for everything. Like actually modelled grass instead of using grass cards. Now, the traditional pipeline is to used masked textured. Masked textures overlap and create an illusion of density and depth. If you take masked textures and run them through the UE5 processing for enabling Nanite, you're telling the engine to render everything. And thus the savings from the masked texture method turns into a deathblow for performance.
>>538995263PSA . If you don't have 10 people in your pocket ready to drop a positive review as soon as your game drops then wait to release until you do.
>>538995263I'm on you same camp, but I'm happy to improve my skills and get better, even if nobody gives a shit.Fame and money is something more related to being a nepo baby.As long as you're happy with your games, why not just enjoy them?Like make the ideas you always wanted to make, not form money or fame.
>>538996634Basically, devs misuse very powerful tools and it guarantees games will run like shit.
>>538993751yes daddy <3
>>538997015based, reject materialism it's a constant rat race with no end in sight
>>538996634I'll also mention that the people who are like, "I can just subdivide everything to shit and Nanite will fix EEEEEEEVERYTHING" should be beaten with a wooden spoon until they stop being retarded.

Blender noob question. I'm trying to make a door frame in this wall. I'd like to be able to drag the bottom face of this section up independently of the adjacent bottom face, but so far I can't figure out how to do that. Is there a command for this?
>>539003531That's, uh, not good. Speaking from experience.
>>539004412Neat but I don't understand what she's saying.
>>539004612Select the two side edges of the door frame on both sides of the wall and right click, select subdivide, and keep the number of cuts at 1. Select both new edges, press gg to slide them up or down to your desired position. Then select the faces where the door is supposed to go, and deleted them. Then select the vertices where each section of the door frame is supposed to be(select only one rectangular section at a time) and press f to fill them in.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3167100/CODE_BLUE/i checked on this since it was bullied but it looks like the dev left agdg and released another flop...

>>539005040>>539005128This is what I ended up doing. I loop cut the wall with the door, deleted the faces created below the top of the door, and filled the faces around it. Probably not the smarted way to go about it, but it worked.

>tester tests the game>all good mate but cinematic didn't play on start of the game>there's no cinematicDo I need cinematic
>>539006781Maybe you should look into it...
>>539005091https://store.steampowered.com/app/1378790/Red_River/>bully the dev>no progress from himgeeeeee
>>539007206yes, to skip it every time kek
>>539007402im 90% certain the dev is underage
>>538981253anon, music for your game is supposed to come from your IRL friendsyou do have IRL friends... right?
>>539007073IDK about souless, but Children of a Dead Earth is boring as fuck despite being "Realistic"Sad fact is space is really boring 99% of the time. There's a reason normies stopped caring about it after the moon landing.
>>539007402Looks like a crappy phone game
sakurai was right, gamdev is hard!
>>539007901i loved watching Iran's hypersonic rockets toughthose mfs work hard
>>539007206yes also fake loading screens to make your game feel beefier
>>539007901>space is boringyeah if you're aiming for realistic. idk why we haven't seen a cool subnautica type game but in space
how much you pay for AI per month?me $40 for claude code + cursor + $10 for copilot and a few bucks a month for a vps to test multiplayer
>>539007206>he doesn't have an intro cinematic
>539007890Can somebody kill this bitch already?
>>539005753It worked out well. As you make more stuff, you'll start figure out what works best. You should look into uvs and texturing asap too, because how you want to uv unwrap things can potentially play a part in how you build it.
>>539007073soft scifi is fundamentally the most soulless thing possible no matter whatthe issue with scifi is that (You) cant be a midwit and you actually need to know what the fuck you are doing, but if you do its gonna be automatically soulful since youre pouring that much effort into it
a lot of Negative reviews should add an automatic discount the game.>>539008402paid 160 for one year of claude and also pay for cursor, and now also chatgpt because codex has a vs code extension
>>539009013>a lot of Negative reviews should add an automatic discount the game.Oh good, that means I'll get you game for free then.
>>539007206I fucking love when I start a game and I'm immediately in the world. It just feels better than wading through a bunch of story I'm not invested in yet. And I don't even hate story in games, I just like that immediate control.
>>539009178 It's 3 to 1 but this anon is rightAlso without any experience my cinematic would suck fat ass
>>539009178Is it fine if the intro cutscene just explains what's your task and what's going on at this moment?
>don't know how to do something in Blender>get stuck>watch youtube tutorial>no longer stuck, progress continuesThis is such a rewarding feeling
>>539009178>I fucking love when the game is worse!/agdg/, everyone
>>539011310AttakidYou ARE going to make it
>>539011412thank you /agdg/ father figure

feeling kinda depressed due to a week long bug async im trying to fix that keeps popping upcan i get a NHH for motivation bros?
Took me like 10 days to get this done, and then I wonder why the fuck do indie games need 7 years for?
>>539012947This is what 13 years of game dev experience looks like
>>539008402I pay for AI in>increased energy bills>increased checks any time I want to access a site that I'm not a scraper>tax that goes towards funding AI bullshit>reduced intelligence of general populance>decline in funding in promising start-ups and towards technology that will make the world a better place>the destruction of my local environment>the destruction of my retinas any time I want to look at art>the destruction of /agdg/, the replacement of old schizos with new AI-powered schizoson the other hand,>$0 sent directly from my pockets to tech companies>my earnings from art/game just keep going up despite supposed competition from AI artists/developers>it is now easier to identify people who are grifters / don't give a shit about making good products>over time it's becoming easier and easier to tell what's AI and what isn't. I assumed AI writing would be awkward to detect but now it's becoming incredibly obvious. Every time I make an assessment like "lines done by human, finished by AI" or "made by AI then touched up by human" it ends up being correct>I rigged google to not only no longer show AI, but no longer show ads as well, increasing my quality of lifeI will not respond to AI grifters as they are all nodevs and have no game. Good night
>>539012947>only 10 days for an AAA game from 1980 (DEBUG)cris FVARKING WON
>>539012173I used to get really depressed during bug fixing too. You'll solve it eventually. Maybe you'll find that that you don't really need whatever system the bug is in.
Happy sunday lads and lasses
>>539012947A finished game? My sincere congratulations.

>>539016073I shall not
>>539015249in reality it's Kojima who copied you but he did this by going into the future and taking your idea and then coming back to our timeline, causing divergence in time-line continuum and thus rendering you unable to start your project
>>539016439Now use this as the plot of your game.
>>539017503yes, that was the intention, hovewer it's just the plot of Back to The Future 2
I have no ideas left for my second level, I used them all up for my first level.

>>539009002"Hard" scifi does not exist. It's just space fantasy for retards who think they are better than others. The science is all fucked up in all scifi, even the "hardest" of them. Soft scifi is fantasy stories in space. As soulful as it gets. Hard scifi is number wankery and "science" for retards that is as far from realistic as any generic fantasy story. Name ONE actually realistic hard scifi work. You can not do that.
Today I discovered a function that wasn't working but its lack of functionality was obscured by similiar function, which I promptly debugged and now everything works nice.

>>538995263Shouldn't have made a 5 review floppa. You could've avoided this result.
>>539021049I am just perpetually pissed off by poor performance in games. 3d modelers need to be rigged up to a car battery where they get the absolute shit shocked out of them if they touch the subdivide button.
>>539008402I have not paid for AI and I will not pay for AI
I run the favellas. You don't give me the respect I deserve.
>>539023183You pay for AI if you use Steam. You indirectly sponsor AI because fatfuck gabencunt allowed it on his storefront.
>>539022967Nanite, though. Infinite amount of polygons! No cost to performance, trust us and don't look at the numbers!
>>539023587Unreal is such a fucking joke
UE4 is peak and they should have stopped there.
At least implement one little thing a day. One step at a time anons, thats all it takes to make your game
>>539024226>as I understand it, it culls things not immediately in frameYou don't understand it.
>>539024513Yeah, apparently not.
>>538996634Also literally how the feature was sold, as a one click magic bullet for using multi million polygon sculpts in-game

Do nanite using games even exist or gaymers just hate it because youtubers told them

>>539024234people still use ue4 cause epic botched ue5 with their retardation.
>>538972580>but I can't help but feel that I lost something along the way.Enjoy working while you still can. You will reach a point where the corporate world does something to you that sours the experience. That's when you start looking inwards again.

How do you write a generalized tween system for unity? You need multiple types of target objects (eg. Transform, RectTransform, Rigidbody, Rigidbody2D...) and multiple types of values (eg. Vector2, Vector3). I just couldn't figure out how to structure it. Do I have to write them all separately? I want a component in which I can select for example tweentype ChangeColor, and choose target SpriteRenderer. Or tween type Move and pick Transform, RectTransform, Rigidbody etc.Do I make something like this:Tween <T0, T1>{EasingType easingTypefloat durationT0 targetObjectT1 fromValueT1 ToValue}I got stuck after this. Do I have to write a tween class for each of Unity's component types by hand? Like this:ChangeSpriteRendererColorTween : TweenBaseMoveRigidbody2D : TweenBase
>>539047552>poonity doesn't have a tweensJust copy Godot.
>>539047552why don't you just use a pass-through/wrapper type function? i don't know unity but in godot you can just use an autoload/global and call it through any script such as foobar.print_hello_world("test") with foobar being the pointer call.
>>539048321I don't know what you're referring to exactly, please explain more.
>>539048507Ignore what I said, it doesn't really apply here. I just don't know enough about C# or Unity to help you.
Added some buttons that let you quickly move to a game mode's next/previous level. Also added the ability to zoom the map in and out. This isn't really useful at the moment, since everything is so close together, but later, once there are more levels, this should come in handy.

>>539013981>>539019921there are degrees of realism just like in non-scifi works, but anything that has FTL is just as much fantasy as AD&D.
>>539050393>but anything that has FTL is just as much fantasy as AD&D.I was going to disagree with you but Planet of the Apes and 2001 both use cryo freezing to transport people long distances. I can think of Shadowrun being super D&D but I don't know if that universe has FTL.

Looks like the best approach for getting accurate convex colliders is to create a copy of the mesh and slice up all the main sections instead of just adding a bunch of sphere colliders.

I made some bombs as a new item. I'm getting the feeling like it's probably going to be best to ditch the sci-fi theme of dome keeper and go for something more medieval, religious and other worldly. The sci-fi theme isn't given me a lot of inspiration for usable items.Maybe instead of a scientist on an alien planet, you're an angle looking to establish a new world for life to exist on. I'll think about it.

Game design is the hardest part of gamedev.

Seriously though, what's so bad about AI voice acting? It frees me up a lot in terms of budget and time and it can be very easily replaced by anyone at any moment, it's just audio files. It's not like AI arts or AI models which would actually require me, the dev to do it.
>>539065027retard
>>539065027correct.
>>539065373because the dev voice acting his own game is raw sovl essence
>>539065027it's easy if you're making a game you're passionate aboutit's hard if you're trying to make a game that some theoretical target audience would enjoy
>>539061281streamer exposure isn't as potent in sales conversions as one would expect, i believe this could be due to stream watchers tuning in to witness the streamer, regardless of the game they playyoutube videos tend to be much more effective at converting exposure to sales, and short form content tends to be best at generating initial support

How many ideas do you guys have?
>>539083319>1 KBuseless
What if..I downloaded a quake2 engine and made a game with it? It would be full of soul
>>539083319
>>539082805was it done in that google modelling application? Looks decent but I'd have to see it in environment to have concrete opinion.>>539083319post idea 24
What if instead of sorted array I would have a dictionary with float keys rounded to 0.01 and search the values in loop i+0.01?
>>53908331954 of them written down. Though only about 10 have any real detail.
>>539083808why do you need a sorted array in the first place?
>>539083789it was done in krita using vector tool
>>539083319Tell me about idea 33
>>539041806I'm always happy to change my mind so I will play your egg game. But if I don't like it you'll get an earful
>>539083958I have hundreads of objects with delays/one time timers in themApparently they are very costly since unreal checks them every tick, so I decided to put all of them in one data srtuct with time of activation and check in cycle
>>539084407use something like iterate 100, then pause a frame then do the update of the rest in a diferent frames.Basically having them not be 60 FPS their updates, but a single loop that updates using a timer every second.60 frames * 100 chunks = 6000 objects per second loop.If your concern is their motion, then update their movement vector a 1 FPS, or 4 FPS.
>check out that Fumes game>it indeed has you shooting at enemy with 10 secondsDamn nice
>>539083789>idea 24A "clicker/number go up game" but in 3D first person, you have to bring an egg from the chicken to a tube that takes it away. You can only carry 1 egg at a time, you get points for each egg, which you can unlock stuff that helps you bring more eggs at the same time, and faster to the tube, and eventually automate the whole thing, add more chickens, more eggs, etc. >>539084275>idea 33Shark loan money recoverer simulator. You gotta go to people and beat them up to get the money back. It's low poly, kinda like Gang of Beasts + "Schedule I" style, so it's "cartoon violence", not too realistic. You can do "funny" stuff like putting their heads in the toilet or shaking them from the window.
>>539084701cris I need them all to be checked each frame and activated in exact time (rounded by frame of course)
>>539085903non player entities don't need to be updated at the same frame rate as the player.
>>53908562424 sucks big time, 33 has potential but it has to have decent combis + interactivity and at least semi open world, maybe hub that connects to different areas, also you're a repoman because you have to pay your own debt yourself and you can gain money by underground ring fights or by beating random pedestrians
What I really like in games are obscure, hidden or otherwise unstated mechanics. Like, how in GTA 4, if your car's engine breaks down, you can use the kick button and kick the engine to start it back up. That's the kind of stuff I really like, and I've put it a lot in my games.Problem is though, I already released a game with such an approach in it, and the result ended up that 90% of the players didn't figure out or find out these hidden mechanics. But explaining them and making them obvious would defeat the point for me. What do?
anti cris bros...we got too cocky.
>>539086729>What do?Stop wasting time on those mechanics. Learn to prioritize, make a decently popular indie game first, once you have a significant fanbase then you can start adding secrets and easter eggs. Pic related added so many easter eggs and gimmicks and SOUL and it was all for nothing because he didn't prioritize making a successful game first.
>539087769>prioritze making a game within unquatifiable, indefinable metricsPlease, retard, go ahead and slit your throat. Nobody wants your subhuman jeet ass here.
>>539087769It's a sleeper hit and he just needs a streamer to get into it or have a special promotion on Steam, indie showcase or the works. Just one youtube grifter needs to go with>indie SMT? >the most underrated hidden gem on steam?!>I can't believe nobody heard of this gameand he can get easily 10 times the response. Also his capsule art is pretty bad.
>>539087769his capsule art really doesn't say anything about the game>guy in bathrobe enters a furry hut and sees a dinosaurif you saw this capsule in a list, would you consider looking at the steam page?
I'll be 100% honest.The core reason why nobody gives a shit about your game, is that it looks like dog shit and poorly amateur programmer art.The second, is that is the gameplay is a generic retro platformer or another farming clone or another depression jrpg.The third, is that the story sucks and your characters don't have charisma and are lame.The fourth is that your music isn't as iconic as understale or touhou or Tunic.And there's nothing that make me like wanna pirate it, no big mistery, no promise of big adventure.It's just a lame oatmeat soup of oats.That's your game.No amount of social media and marketing guru tricks can make people interested in your game, because there's nothing that make me wanna play it.
>>539088301may you be free
>>539088301>unquatifiable, indefinable metricsMy point was to make a lean product, retard. "Hidden/secret" mechanics are not crucial to your game's success, so don't waste time on them until you have a successful game first. Like wasting money adding flair to a ship that you don't know if it will even float.
>"Hidden/secret" mechanics are not crucial to your game's successNothing is. I don't even have to make a good game, just make some co-op friendslop, be as loud as you can about it and there you go, there's your successful game.
>>539088301dude thinks "adding secrets" is more well defined than compelling core gameplaythen you wonder why no one bothered lol
>>539089571I didn't even say whether my games were successful or not, that wasn't even the fucking point. All I said was that players didn't notice them and what to do about. You fucking morons once again pivoted it to "MUH STEAM REVIEWS" even though I literally did not ever imply any of that.God the average IQ of this place must be 75.

>>539086729either make them more obvious, or just accept the fact that they'll go unnoticed

It is most annoying to have to wait for your compocist to finish all the musics when you have finished your game.

How do you move faces on the UV projection independently of each other in Blender? Does it require a specific type of UV projection?I've seen videos where people will unwrap their model onto a large image texture and the move the faces around so that the texture lines up with how it's intended to on the model. Whenever I try to move the faces on my UV I'm unable to do it and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Here's a video showcasing what I mean: https://youtu.be/t_c58ryJ-Sw?si=is7BF63S3OKC6iaW&t=17This isn't working for me.
>>539091986Okay, well I've downloaded some models but I have no idea how to import them into blender or even how to replicate them really
Any French anons here?Would it be understandable to use abbrevations like this:Vit de Atq - Vitesse D'attaque

>>539088708gmi or ngmi fundamentally relies on one question>are you slightly in front of the zeitgeistthis is not quantifiable it takes a profound intuitive understanding of the world and the humans within it to answer this question
>>539096462My game was in front of the zeitgeist when it released in 2024 and it failed. Now I'm up to the zeitgeist, but it's over.
>>539083808...anyone smarter than cris?
>>539088708Correct
>>539096348I've partially figured it out. I had to enable face selection in the UV editor, then I can select the face in model edit mode, go back into the UV editor and select all to select the face I have select on the model, and then I can freely move around the face. This feels really clunky so I'm assuming it's not the correct was to do it, but it works.However I can't view all of the faces on the unwrapped UV when I do this, only the one I currently have selected. So there's a lot of overlapping UV faces, which I'm assuming is bad.

Fuck Blender, I give up. I'm just going to model my environments in Rhino (the only 3D program I know how to use), render the scene, then draw over it in Photoshop to make it appear 3D.I'm probably going to have an easier time doing this and produce better results than I am teaching myself how to model, texture, animate, etc. as I also teach myself how to make a video game.
