Mongol human form repost. D:
>>539550430your game looks like poop stuck in the intestinal tract.
What little things could I add to this to make the game feel more "alive"? Animations, etc. I got a comment saying it's a slow game so there needs to be some kind of visuals that engage the player more, and I think it's a good idea. I'm thinking something similar to how the text in Balatro wiggles, but maybe not exactly that
>>539550430I took a big diarrhea shit that looked like this once
>>539550063real talk - is DeadWire dev AGDG or not. I saw him on DemoDay some time ago but he wasn't posting progress here and I haven't seen him on any other demodays either. Also dev hid his game on itch.io but is still visible on DD58 submissions list
dudes be like "agdg sucks"nigga you make the posts
>>539551419Did it fail?
>>539551461don't think too hard buddy, you'll end up hurting yourself
>6 reviews in 10 monthsI sure hope you're not making a 3D platformer
>>539551419I hope he's about to shill his game heavy because it looks fun.
What's the story of your game?
>>539551495it just came out, it has three reviews and by the looks of it all of them were claimed by dev's friends or contractors
>>539551461My posts are pure but they are few and far between among the never-ending deluge of insincereposting.
>>539551578People only like 3D platformer collectathons when it has quirky characters and bright colors to remind them of their childhood.
>>539551725it's really interesting
>>539551812you contribute to the redemption of this fallen general
>>539551578nnnggghhhh... brownier!!!
>>539551419he's a resident of the 'cord
>>539550534>>539551159Better?
>>539552224nah you're cooked
>>539551578>psychonauts but worse (psychonauts was already not too popular)I think a 3D platformer could do well, but it has to be unique. They're always derivative and shittier than their inspirations.
she still didn't get fired.and she'll earn in a month more than 99% of our games will ever earn.
>>539552527That's OK, I don't get bothered by other people being successful or having easy lives. Why would I?
>>539552224You should really reconsider how you go about implementing your art style. I don't think anybody will find this appealing even in a morbid way. You're welcome to prove me wrong, though. The intestines border isn't even a bad idea it's just done really poorly. Your actual gameplay visuals are nearly completely non legible. Dark, grainy, muddy, and undefined.
>>539552763>The intestines border isn't even a bad idea it's just done really poorly. Your actual gameplay visuals are nearly completely non legible. Dark, grainy, muddy, and undefined.I'll make the changes and re-render the intestines, gimme a min.
>>539551950it's got other colors. look there's blue.>>539552486>but it has to be uniqueis it a special secret rule for 3D platformers? because it doesn't apply to all games because almost every successful game is derivative.
>>539551725Anti-capitalist hero's journey.Evil CEO Big Bad slowly buys out the entire kingdom out from under the Good King, turning its people into cowardly consumerist wagie worker drones. You must collect magical mcguffins that represent positive attributes (courage, strength, perception, creativity, etc.)/the elements to take down the Big Bad and the ancient evil that's possessed him and save the princess.
>>539552087Too bad, I don't have a discord and I can't wholeheartedly support devs who think they're above posting progress here.
>>539553102he was posting progress here you just missed it
How much money will you give me to replace all the AI voice acting in my game?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2912430/Platypus_Reclayed/new kino just dropped
>>539553329>gamedev success is NOT based on luck>it's based on being able to predict the unpredictable
>>539553329That is kino, this game will do well.
>>539553964>sees 70 reviews on release day>I always knew this game would do wellwhy didn't you make it then?

>>539553170huh, I found two webms from june and august this year, even though he posted demo back in DD53, nearly two years ago. It feels like he doesn't want to be associated with 4chan, yet to be still included as a /agdg/ dev, just barely.
>>539552981post harmless bluesky post?
>>539554668it won't
thirdies are ruining this website
>>539554517sounds like a good compromise also he's woke
heh, nobody even plays shmupsespecially not horizontal ones without cute girls
I can't even begin to imagine the negative headspace someone has to be in to get excited for and buy a 2d platformer.
>>539555692i'd rather read a novel written by ronald r. redpill than ever read another fucking retarded political fucking post here, fuck. off.
>>539555692this isn't pol, fuck off with your crying about some rich tallfag not connected with gamedev.
It's all about voice acting. If you can get it, you won.
>>539555771trannies suicide rate is more than half, so there you go
>>539555692>>539555973>>539556071>>539556317>>>/pol/
>>539556485@grokis this true?
>>539555294you're the sensitive faggot if you really have to publicly post your bullshit political opinions, especially when you can just shitpost on /pol/ to relieve your faggotryit's absolutely deserved for chuds to cancel your game
>>539550245>makes a mod for a game>spams it in a thread for gamedevYou're like a case study in what flop devs do to market their game. Go to where your audience is, not here. I have like 800 hours in arma3 but I havent played it for years and I'm not going to play this.
>>539556471nobody gives a fuck though, why are we still going on about this?
>>539555294can you not anticipate outcomes or something? are you non white?
>>539557106modding is gamedev related, nigger
>>539550430No more devving for tonight. Mom fell and hit her head. We're at the hospital.
>>539557376he's right, though. I'm not installing arma 3 to play your mod either. you should be on some arma forums or something shilling your mod.
>>539557663yup, i don't give a fuck about mods. i respect mods and modders, but wouldn't consider it agdg tier if it's a mod of a game made by someone else
>>539557621Shit man, good luck to you and your mom. Hope she's okay.
>>539557621old hag kicked the bucket?
>>539557376You didn't post progress while developing the mod though, you just came here to shill to the wrong audience. By your logic anyone who has ever made a game could just shill here and say "it's gamedev related because I developed it"
>>539557663>>539557769
>>>Are 80% or more of the posts in this thread generated and posted by LLM chatbots?>>>
>>539557961My hands wrote my posts but I'm probably being remotely controlled by AI so probably
>>539557882>You didn't post progress while developing the mod thoughbeen like 5 updates since i posted beforehttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/3569474876
>>539558089Bro, nobody here is shitting on you or your mod you're just in the complete wrong place to shill it. Go to the arma general or something. Nobody here is installing your mod that took you a week to make. Projects here take years and we don't care about arma in the slightest.
>>539555692M8, gamedev is a business. People wont buy your burger if you bitch out about the inside of your kitchen. Even as a /pol/fag i did not post any polutical stuff.Be better
>>539558303
>>539557376Really? Then, can you quickly make a pong game, and post it here, to proof that you're also a gamedev?
>>539558446>Be betterYou're replying to the wrong person. I don't make political posts anywhere outside of 4chan. Good for you, though
>>539558643Oh shit yea lmao i was aiming at this guy >>539555294. Sorry. I should really stop drin
>>539558597

>>539558795The mod allows us to play pong inside arma 3?>>539556471I cant believe im saying this, but where the hell is the jannies when you need one? This guy post offtopic stuff
>>539558971that's me when I use AI
>>539557621I hope this just a stupid bait post.If it isn't, I hope everything turns out alright. That's scary.
>>539559064marketing is gamedev related
>>539559064>This guy post offtopic stuffMaybe they should do something about the guy who started the off-topic topic? Maybe they shouldn't do anything at all because the topic is over and all you're doing is crying about it post-mortem. Have you considered installing a neurolink into your head?
>>539559238>>539559403No, not you, i mean the original guy that posted >>539555294 . I dont know why i keep clicking the other guys that are replying to him
>>539559238Yea, marketing GAMES, not marketing MODs. Bro, just sybau and code some pong
>>539559734I tried to make pong and failed
>>539559734I think mods are fine as long as they're total conversion mods but those people usually stick to their own community anyways so maybe it's a moot point.
the bocchi troon nodev who worship ecelebs here all day is telling you to make pong (i never made pong) probably because a youtuber told xem thatthats all you should know about making pong, and now the creature is gonna spam it all day for months
the agdg politics and mods episode i see
Why does he keep saying "the creature"? This is now the fifth or sixth time I've seen this word used in this context over the last few threads. Is this a direct translation to English from some sort of Portuguese/Hindi insult?
>tfw have to wait a few hours for more free claude tokensthis is the biggest indicator that i'm never gmi
>>539560292i saw fygoon say it so i copied him
all of you should start with pong, if you're feeling edgy and special maybe try tetris, space invaders, poker, mario, etc
>>539560361use cursor + claude, switch to cursor when you hit limit it's infinite with the $20 plan you just have to wait for a free spot
This is what having a thread full of people convinced that the only way to get visibility is on twitter gets us. You retards can't ever shut up about the things they talk about there. Post about your games dumbfucks.

>>539564960oops forgot the timestamp:https://youtu.be/we6XsZIiwSY?t=556
>>539565025This is an art direction issue, though not a PBR issue. PBR can be used to make anime or toon like games as well. It's just a rendering technique. Just because most realistic games look similar because they're aiming for realism doesn't mean anything about PBR. Pixar uses PBR all the time.
>>539565160he kinda looks like the female reproductive systema hidden message?
>>539551019You could try making the tiles in your hand wiggle. You could try making played tiles wiggle. If you want your game to be retard proof you could have word suggestions with wiggling letters if the player does nothing for too long.
>>539565813read the top half of the image
>>539565160>>539565836
>>539565813No? The whole point of PBR is that materials would be designed only once and they will look exactly the same in any engine that uses PBR. The definition of PBR requires real life material values which is tightly coupled with the shading model itself. Which means if an artist wants to break the rules of reality, he can't the engine won't allow it.
>>539566000No because the original point he made was about PBR specifically being bad.
>>539566083>the engine won't allow it.Outing yourself as a nodev, I see. Go back to /v/, faggot.
>2020+5>still using an engine
>>539566353Sure, let's see some papers/GDC talks/devlogs that talk about the artistic merits of PBR and how to achieve non-photorealistic effects.

>>539574196I steal all my assets from failed indie games.
>>539571730that's just roblox
I made a tool to autobuild levels using sprites and background level logic. Big square represents 9 basic configurations that should choose proper sprites. One additional square above it is for basic passable platform. I was a little tired and annoyed by placing every sprite by hand, so this should improve the process somewhat.

the project hop demons are whispering in my ear again
I pray AI gets good enough that no human being must ever again require the services of American voice actors.
>>539575638do it. project hopping is such a rush, think of the nonstop feeling of momentum you'll have with all of that early progress.who cares about commitment when you can have that sweet, sweet dopamine every time you start a new thing.out with the old, in with the new is what I always say, and project hopping is that in action.
>>539574579Why would I buy this trash instead of silksong
>>539575638remember that FlyKnight was a result of projecthopping
>>539574958>filter slapped on themnta, this depends entirely on the artstyle of your game. Sometimes it can work, sometimes it'll look like ass. Slapping a retro shader on a bunch of hd assets is also a good way to tank your performance.
>>539575185we use "fygoon was right" for that tough
>>539575861>Bill Gates dropped out of High School so why can't I do it?
>>539575861silksong too. most people don't remember it, but the Hollow Knight devs were working on a game called Veil of Maia, until they saw that a superior dev had not only claimed that name, but was also revolutionizing the metroidvania genre.They released Silksong as a rushjob because they know its game over once Sasquatch B releases his magnum opus

i've gotten the part where everything works, but there are tons of hidden bugs, so development stops being about making new features and starts being about just doing the endless bugfixing grind.this is the worst, most tedious part of gamedev and i seem to always drop my projects right at this point...

It's me or the Godot engine is becoming less relevant? We just had 4.5 released like 2 days ago and no one cares, back then 3.5 was a HUGE release to say the least.What's happening?

How socially stunted are you people that you're too self conscious to copy paste an email to a total stranger or politely ask total strangers to please wishlist your game? Sometimes (read: all the time) I feel like the only person who posts here without some sort of severe mental handicap. I have no idea how people like you can even function in day to day life. What happens when you need to have a face to face conversation with a stranger in public? Do you panic and run away?

>>539588940What is this logic that game jams/small games don't count? They matter a lot more than what you think.
>>539586446there is nothing wrong with game makers toolkitis he a good game developer? maybe not. and that makes him ripe to shitpost aboutbut he spent 10 years making well researched videos about game design. he interviews talented game developers from across the industry and regurgitates THEIR well-founded and practiced beliefslots of his videos serve as great reference as a starting point for developers who have no idea how to make a good video game, like the average submitter to demon day>>539586290he should probably stop redoing stuff that is already perfectly fine. perfectionism gets you nowhere. but he posts regular progress and you probably have no game>>539586136and yet i mostly post anonymously and with no image of a frog attached. i have no attachment to this frog like some posters have to specific anime girls. it is just easy to accumulate a reaction folder of frogs for people like me who do not spend every waking moment posting on 4chan

>>539588975There's also no royalties afaik. If you want to release the game you buy a license and that's it.>theres a lot of gmi gm gamesI think the reason for this is that the somewhat limited nature of GM forced people to make smaller, simpler games, which in turn lets them make more games quicker, which in turn increases the chances of GM games becoming popular. Just a theory.
rotate get the fuck out of my public discord. i know you aren't a fan of my game and are just here to attention seek
No i am im not even gonna post ! I sent you a friend request

Just a theory.This. That's why there's the saying "Give somebody enough rope and they'll hang themselves." A lot devs fuck up their own game by enabling and implementing shit they don't need simply because their engine lets them do it.
>>539589443imagine thinking that rotate does anything for attention, he barely posts in here, he's genuinely extremely quiet. the least attention seeking person there is probably

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

Anyone looking for an artist? I'm finishing up some projects and will have time for something, would like to get more into gamedev. Most of my experience is with 2D (trad and digital) but I've done some 3D modeling.Still putting together a portfolio and anyhow there's a lot of trolls in these threads. If you're interested, let me know a little about your game (genre, style, engine, scope: like 6months vs 5 years, commercial/hobby, etc) and we can see if it would be a good fit and we can connect off-site.

How do you handle animations with network sync? My server keeps telling the client to roll things back to earlier animation states, and there aren't valid transitions so it just looks like shit. Do I just need to have an "any state" transition to everything to catch that kind of thing?

>>539606465this game is so me
>>539606465No idea what’s happening but the animations feel really nice despite basically just being rotating objects.Are you the dev who made Fur and Fang? The animations look a bit similar.
>>539606645>>539606909>>539607276lol thanks>>539607310nah this is my first real game

if my game fails i will simply learn from the experience and begin working on the next onebut damn, my savings are low. i'll need to get a job if this fails and that'll ruin my productivitydamn!
>>539610116I was just recreating NES games as a way to learn dev.
>>539611417Gobdev? Regardless, that seems like a good way to learn. Best of luck to you and your silly game.

Remember. Even if you're not feeling up to one aspect of development, don't let that grind everything to a halt. Do something you actually enjoy just to be making some progress and build up your skills.
>>539613543How do I learn marketing?
>>53961649590% of marketing is your product. Just like make a good fun game that people want to play.
>>539616634Like pong? What's your game btw?
>>539616634That isn't very helpful.
5000 wishlists can that make me a millionaire?
>>539616634people can't buy a game that they don't know exists.
>>539616401shut the fuck up retard
You know, I'm something of a gamedev myself.
The review aspect is closer to 1 in 50
>>539616902Pong is a learning game to teach nodevs like you that your open world MMO game idea is retarded.>>539617034>>539617163If you were looking for some magic bullet, it doesn't exist. Not every game is something that gamers want to play, however, if you do manage to make something gamers do already want to play, then you don't need any magical marketing tricks. You just post it to Steam and whatever other random platforms you feel like and the gamers who are dying to play your game will spread it for you.
>>539616495First things first: Make a prototype that's pretty enough for a Steam page and start collecting wishlists.There's no point in marketing if you don't have a way to funnel impressions into cash.Look up "minimum viable product".Steam gives you a boost when you first publish your page so you want it to look the best you can.You get another free, quite significant boost to marketing if you publish a demo so get to work on that next.Meanwhile, you can post around on social media a few times per week. Short video content seems to be the current meta.Events are also a great way to get some eyes on your game. Some of them are available on the Steam dashboard but look for third party ones as well.That's the extent of my knowledge. It ain't much but it's better than nothing.This guy >>539616634He ain't wrong either. An impression is someone looking at your capsule art for a second.
>>539590450
>>539617561Oh okay, you seem very confident you must have at least a few games released, which are?
>>539617984google "The Witness"
>>539618048That guy should have learned how to make pong first.

https://youtu.be/86RXkvfxW70?t=129how usable does it look
>>539614254yes
Does anybody have the google drive list for upcoming events to submit to? I can't find it
The only people who respond to my posts on social media are other game devs. How do I get actual gamers to look at my shit?
>>539619209by making a good game
>>539618643Ah, the classic "make Pong" advice. That's like telling a budding chef to learn to boil water. With modern game engines and AI, a beginner can go from zero to a playable prototype of something genuinely interesting in an afternoon. Sticking to Pong is like saying you need to learn to program punch cards before you touch a laptop. It's not learning, it's a historical reenactment.
How do I get over my inaction?
>>539619316post your pong
>>539619209Make a game that gamers want to play. I can guarantee you that if you were making Hytale 2 or Star Citizen 2 or Skyrim 2 or Terraria 2 or Factorio 2 etc. etc., wouldn't need to ask >How do I get actual gamers to look at my shit?
>>539619301"Just make a good game." Ah, yes. The sage advice of someone who's likely never shipped so much as a pixel. It's the equivalent of a couch potato telling an Olympic athlete, "just be fast." The real journey of making a game isn't about some nebulous idea of "good," it's about the brutal grind of debugging, the soul-crushing reality of scope creep, and the sheer grit it takes to see a project through to the end. The only thing "good" about that advice is how quickly you know to ignore the person giving it.
>>539619437 "My 'Pong' is a fully-fledged engine that doesn't need to waste time on a glorified line-and-square demo. But hey, if you show me your 'good game,' I might consider downgrading."
>>539619316It's telling an aspiring chef to start with instant noodles, and yes, most of you retards think you're budding chefs but can't even make yourself some instant noodles without spilling and making a huge mess.
grok please leave the thread
>>539619662A beginner chef learns by experimenting with new ingredients and techniques, not by being told to master a """meal""" that comes with a checklist and instructions on the back of the package. It's not that I can't make instant noodles; it's that I'm not wasting my time on a task with zero creative value just so you discord troons can be happy. Maybe you should focus on making a dish yourself instead of just yelling instructions from the sidelines, what's your game?
>>539619316UMMMMM...ANTIPONG SISSIES?
>>539619870Zamn, they machine learning from my posts...

>>539620128Imagine if you joined an amateur chef general and some tranny was spamming "MAKE INSTANT NOODLES" to everyone. Actually not even instant noodles some useless old dish from antiquity would be a better analogy, if you dont get that then you're NGMI.
>nubby released with 400 wishlists and sold 500,000 copies>"ummm akkshually only 0.005 % of wishlists convert so you need 10 trillion wishlists to make $100!!!!"NEVER BLACKPILL
>>5396173567000 wishlists equalling 10 reviewsa is one of the most deranged and psychotic demoralization shill posts I have ever seen here. Weirdo furfag tranny shit, can't you just go back to the discord with your other gay leftist freaks?
>>539620569ok nice, now give us examples that are not outliers that released at the peak of gambleslop mania and were pushed by big streamerssecondly the US is probably gonna enter a recession before the end of the year or next year, people already buy less games
>>539620552Only if the thread is full of nocooks planning out how to impress the Michelin guide before they've even cooked even a single dish in their entire lives.
>>539620529Nice. How much is left until Steam release?
>>539621056Just because some people here have delusions of grandeur doesn't make shit advice good.
>>539620825FlyKnight also had something like 1000% week 1 wishlist conversions.
>>539620309I have 2.5-3% on average
>>539621175"Make Pong" isn't actually about making Pong. It's about getting you to get off your ass and actually do something for once with your life, you fucking loser.
>>539621190yeah but those games are outliers if you look at the average day 1 for games in that 400-500 wishlists range i bet it would be single digit players while nubby had 70 day 1
>>5396211244 months.
>forgot to lock my door>start drawing concept art for my loli game >dad comes in asking if i've seen his glasses>panic alt+tab into a 404'd pragmata thread from last week
>>539620309It's a lot less on launch since more people buy with discounts and bundles. It's 20-30% when released after 2-3 years.
the worse it looks now the better the comparison will look in the future
>>539621305Argue with other unemployed nodevs, I just said my piece.
>>539621230yeah you made a horrible dogshit game that even the people who wishlisted it refused to play. Doomer faggot with no intelligence or creative ability trying to drag others down into your pathetic faggoty misery. Quit it.
>>539621578I've made dozens.
>>539621408>never heard of a launch discountyou are all such insanely dumb retarded ugly faggots its incomprehensible to me>"durrrr I gon release my 2d pixel shart faggot game for 14.99 wiff no discount!@! Waahhhhh why I gotted no sales!!!!?!?!?!??!"

>>539619316>That's like telling a budding chef to learn to boil water.No, the first thing they teach you is how to turn on the stove.
>>539621483The arm movement looks weird. You don't sway a sword like a metronome.
>>539622418the run animation is two keyframes and took two minutes to make, getting the code to play animations at all was the real feat
You ever kinda-finish a piece of the game and then you're not quite sure what to do next with it?Like, where do I go from here? Infinite possibilities, man
>>539623145That's called not having the vision.
>>539623145smoke peyote, vomit, free ideas
Deciding when you can interrupt animations is hard...
>>539623145Of course, it's called "post-demo day depression".What you need to do is figure out what needs to be done before the next demo day.In my case, I need to have a Steam page up so I'm making the assets I need for a sick trailer.

>>539619870ouch, that answer is straight cookin'>>539621408answer: sell your game on launch as it was already released three years ago and set your initial price as discounted price from that time
>>539624737>gui
I live... Again....
>>539620552the better analogy would be the amateur chef general telling you to make a loaf of bread with just flour, salt, yeast, and water.

I've never seen an early access game do 30% discount, they must be struggling. (Pricing it cheaper as a constant during EA is something different) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1371980/No_Rest_for_the_Wicked/
>>539635136I've achieved more in life this last year than you've ever done and I know that just via this brief exchange. Dumb projecting cunts like you are honestly embarrassing to see existing and you should seriously consider stop wasting the oxygen that negroes in Africa could make better use of.

>>539635374>Copies sold in the last 7 days: 7k>Gross revenue: $24.8m ($14.7m - $34.9m)
>>539634450Why are you even asking this question? How long it will take depends on you and your IQ and dedication. Do you have a cancer diagnosis or something? Can you only consider making a game if you can be done in under 6 months?
Mongol enemy.
>>539636298i look like this
>>539636298
>>539635918ok? It's an AA/AAA company. not indie. >>539636298there's no reason for the mesh to be so detailed. and also it looks like a walking turd.
>>539637205Lmao, it's the same studio as Ori and that one copypasta about not making any profit from $20m revenue. Basically a studio lead by a retard with zero business acumen.Speaking of EA going on sale, Marmoreal hasn't made any progress since going on sale for 67% in April. Did he kill himself?
how dangerous is it to do silly shit like naming your villain the same as a popular manga villain? Like lawsuit wise
>>539637960I don't know.
>>539637960If you name it sasuke it's just a nameIf you name if Dr. Willy or some shit that's unique to one game it might be a problem
>>539638326You should know. That will be on tomorrow's test.
>>539637205>there's no reason for the mesh to be so detailed. and also it looks like a walking turd.Better?

I'm starting to fucking hate my composer. Why the fuck is he taking so long? He should pick up the fucking pace I want to release this game NOW NOW NOW
Chat, does Valve allow this?
>>539640089Sure, why not. Reviews (mostly) don't matter.
regardless of the quality of AI assets, can you even get away with using AI without inviting a massive shitstorm of anti-AI crusaders your way? I'd be cool with using AI music for example but I feel like it's not worth it just because of the inevitable negative attention.
>>539640835say you're poc nigger
>>539581536finally, it's been in early access for like a yearnow I can finally play with the game key he shared in the thread
>>539640325Doubt, Valve has strict rules.
>>539640089considering I see this on indies all the time, including people disclosing being family or close friends of the dev, it seems like steam sanctions it by inaction
>>539639624should have set a schedule in your contract you idiot
>>539581862randomized rewards with drop rates optimized to maximize engagement will always be scummy to megive your game a reasonably attainable concrete ending you sick fucks
>>539585650nodebuster released with 200 wishlists and popped offyou don't need a strong launch, you don't need to farm wishlists, you don't need a huge community to support your game immediately upon releaseall you need is for a moment of effective viralitythe steam promotion algorithm is not exclusive about when your game will be promoted, it only cares about how much revenue you generate within a variable amount of time periodsall it takes is one good post on social media to give your game the momentum it needs, if it matches required quality
a game where you psychologically torment a man until the pressure causes him to pierce the veil of reality and gain magic powers to be used for your benefitbut he ends up outsmarting you and your entire operation crumbles despite him doing everything you asked him to doand then he destroys youand then he manifests out of all realms of existence and disappears forever
>>539641769>Just get lucky LOLLE!!!!!!
>>539642451just make a game people actually want to play lolyour autistic lizardslop is cool but be honestnobody wants that shit
>>539641769>$3So the answerIs to underprice yourself. At last anon problems are solved.
>>539641330It's better that they disclose their involvement than pretending you're not and secretly shilling in reviews instead
>>539638523Yes, but you need to work on fundamentals, your texture is stretched.
>>539640089valve allows you to gift a ton of (free) keys it's the paid keys that count for reviews that they don't allow you to gift. that free disclosure means the review doesn't count in the score/review count.

The cpu scored their first goal.They are still too cautious but I've added extra weights like passing to a teammate with a high shoot stat and whether they are close to goal. There is a lot to balance.But essentially that is the main game loop. The match restarts after a goal is scored. The last thing to add is to force an encounter when a defender gets too close.
>>539657223is this why there hasn't been a single good piece of art released on earth since 1899

aggydaggy doesn't understand appeal
Loud voices in my head helped me fix the bug
>>539657694I do actually. I simply chose not make something appealing.
i wonder if there was any other point in human history where staying inside all day was as common as it is nowmaybe cavemen?
>>539657829"Cave"men were mostly nomad hunter-gatherers so quite the contrary.
>>539657829no retard cavemen didn't live in caves they're just called that because that's where they buried their dead so we find the best preserved fossils in caves
>>539657950Not knowing something doesn't mean one is retarded, specially when it has a misleading name.
>xhe thinks xhis game will sell when it doesn't even have a big tits furry woman
>>539657829
>>539657829this has to be baitno one is that fucking dumb
>>539657374You sound upset
>>539657267this is rad
>>539658140So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?
>>539658119Name 1 AGDG game that sold because it had one
>>539658269>Name 1 AGDG game impossible difficulty
>>539657223not only that, it's the reason why corpo AAA slop sucks
>>539658093
>>539658494i don't look like this
>>539657694it's the autism, they only understand what they like, not othersit's still possible to make an appealing game with this mindset, but you really need to know what you're doingotherwise you end up making some shitty gamemaker hypergeneric 2d jrpg that literally nobody likes except from you because the antagoist vaguely resembles your oneitis's boyfriend back in highschool and you spend the game gearing up your squad to humiliate him, bait the oneitis stacy into asking you out, and then rejecting her to date some side character you met while along your journey who just so happens to have a bubbly personality and share similar interests with youchad thundercock gets mogged by your squad of wizards, mercenaries, and rangersthe oneitis stacy is left to wallow in pity for rejecting you when you were youngerand you end up marrying the qt3.14 you randomly met while slaying goblinsthe game gives you a happy ending because it appeals to your individual strongest fantasybut then you check steam and a mobile game about shooting skeletons is blowing up because the developer spammed tiktok with low quality advertisements relying on elementary narrative propositionsit's not a fun industryyou need to know what you're doingyou really need to thoroughly validate why anybody would ever care about your game if you expect to make any significant revenue
>>539647529
>>539658494i look exactly like this and the genre of the game i'm making is...
>>539658645
>>539658672all of that can work with the right execution the fact you typed such worthless drivel is gigangmi
>>539658237Nothing. Everything is in your hands
Godot has ColorRects right, How can I do make a the simply other shape like the hexagon, or the circle, or the triangle?
people will be nostalgic for the days that AI didn't push products and constantly advertise and shill to them, and instead returned useless slopthat is the futureI hate the future. that is my game
>>539657927>>539657950>>539658123>>539658137cmon brossurely there would have been at least some autistic oogaboogas that sat around fletching arrows or atlatl spears all dayin a dimly-lit cave rubbing sticks on coarse stones to produce lethal projectiles in exchange for berries, pelts, dried meat, and social esteemalthough it wouldn't have been nearly as common as anything we see today, aside from renaissance era nobility, it is unlikely for men from any other era to have spent this much time per day actively avoiding sunlightsurely
why not just steal tabletop slop concepts

>>539659085Shut the fuck up retard if you ever reply to me again I will rape you
>>539659085
>>539658868true but if your passion is oriented around expressing personal fantasies through the medium if video games then you almost certainly give zero fucks about execution and just wanna see that one "big" moment unfoldpassion projects are generally shit because the developer easily satisfies his own desires and fails to consider that very few other people are as passionate about running away from a furry femboy animatronic boykisserif you want to make a successful game you need to think about others more than yourself
>>539659378>truestopped reading there. you're wrong and i'm right and you admitted as much. kill yourself.
>>539659225you're easy work buddy i'd fuck you up>>539659184>shamansnow that's the shit i'm talking aboutthanks>>539659472>sociopath freak can't into empathyenjoy lmaonosales
why don't turnbased slop sloppers make their game have a speed up feature like in emulators? are they rapetarded?
>>539659378Right. You don't want to force your fantasies on people, that's basically propaganda. But you can explore truthful concepts you find interesting, in honest ways. There's a difference between propaganda and truth. I plan on having religious concepts or characters in my game, and I'll try my best to keep their characters honest. To avoid it becoming propaganda.
>>539659882complete pretentious drivel you will never make anything of value. vincent gallo mogs you
>>539656759>2d side scrollerYou do not have a soul, free will, or any level of creative expression. You are a husk. A being below human, an urchin.
>>539660041You're a midwit. "pretentious drivel" exposed you. I'm sorry for you condition.
>>539660164>You're a midwitlowitcore insult
>>539659753Is that marketable?
fygoon fucking up the thread againunsurprisingly, the behavioral shift occurred after the discussion pivoted towards the financial unfeasability of individual passion projectspeculiaryou too can learn marketing, my dear friendi truly wish you well
>>539660223It's too late, friend. You've exposed yourself as, well, completely useless. You don't have unique insights. You repeat words from people who you think are smart. Then you spaz out in some autistic way to try and impress. Like a peacock showing its feathers. "Impressed yet? My last post said something super fucking gay and autistic!" No I'm not impressed.
>>539660537Why even make art? Go work at McDonalds, you will serve more people that way, cuck. I completely rape you.

I continue to fiddle with movement.I tweaked the player’s minimum speed, acceleration and friction to feel better.I have incorporated air movement that allows the player to gain speed by bunny hopping with limited air control. To compensate for the acceleration based air movement I added a dash mechanic.Dashing and then jumping lets you go really fast.The dash also lets you pull out of a bad jump.Tomorrow I will add head bob and wind streaks above a certain speed. I have plans tonight so no coding for me.I think I will aim to have the rocket launcher working this weekend as well.
