======ONLY PROGRESS BELOW THIS LINE======
yes i am using rust for gamedev, thank you, yes, yes, haha, yes
I was gonna make progress but I think I'm just going to jerk off and go to sleep.
I'm making a porn game in RPG Maker, any tips for it to not instantly be written off for being RPG Maker?
>>540308979use godot but make it look like an rpg maker game
>>540308979I think the only thing that could save it is incredibly well designed anime girls.
>>540308742retard
>people crashed steam servers over a 2D platformer soulsmeme gamei don't even know anymore
>>540308979custom/good art and sprite workthe thing that usually turns people off to rpg maker games whether they realize it or not is seeing the stock art assets
>>540308979replace all graphics with og ones and I mean all of it - no default portraits, no default animations, no default fonts, no default backgrounds, no emotes, also replace sounds. Basically do something like Hylics or Lisa.
>>540309195painful, isn't it
No progress since my last post, but I'm not sure exactly what I'm gonna try and work on tonight. We'll see.
sorry for botching the op i just wanted to post the meme i made in imgflip a month agoi didnt realize that i had everything green texted even tho i did all of that manually
>>540308772How come nodevs must finish a game to get a gf but nobevs arent?
>>540308979did you know that rpg maker is harder than Cyou don't even get structs or a stack
How would you feel if someone got a tattoo based on your game?
Where do I meet people to work with for small jam style games?
>>540309537>game that millions of gamers were asking for>game that no one was asking for>game that no one was asking for
>>540309894im charismatic
>>540309541the lack of aerodynamics and the weird center of rotation hurt me in the bumdid you actually glue a plane to the camera and fly the camera itself?
>>540310004Most jams will have forums or discords for matchmaking.
The Adderall is making my mind more attentive but 5mg and I'm not devving just thinking things.i feel really nice
>>540310472The tylenol is making me wonder why I didn't start making stop-motion videos with my old thomas the tank engine toys sooner.
>>540308742This is my latest progress, scaring enemies with high strength stat.
>>540310293But incels told me manlets cant be charismatic...
>>540309969i'd feel sorry for them unless it was incredibly high quality and well thought out
>>540310537
>>540310472you got punked, enjoy your completely unproductive meth trip
>>540310704well if it helps you, even though im not tall, gf is way shorter, so from her POV im always a towering giant against whose chest she can smoosh her face
>>540310454Yeah, the problem is that the camera is just glued to it. The spring arm lag in UE4/5 fundamentally doesn't work. I've done this before and it's just a pain to implement and I wanted to do other things so I haven't done it yet. picrel of one I did a while ago that this one should be like later on. It's kind of not that major of a change and I'm trying to do big-impact things right now.
>>540310537nigga finally got his own game
>>540310882>The spring arm lag in UE4/5no what. what the fuck. no. just. justjust code itdo you want a linear algebra course? right here, in the thread?fuck i can't believe i'm doing this again but my loss, it's like light to a moth for mefeel free to take advantage
>>540311319I'm fine. It's just annoying that a thing specifically for it in the engine doesn't work and is known to not work at high speeds or rotating through the poles unless you want to build your own new one.
>>540308575KEK good OP, donnie darko was a good movie.
>>540310882>It's kind of not that major of a change and I'm trying to do big-impact things right now.that's also where you're wrong, this is the MOST noticeable thing. that plane takes up 1/4 of the screen and it's the only thing not moving, it's sticking out like an albino in the middle of botswana.get your movement and camera right before anything else, it's the most bang for buck. the game could be completely hollow trash and it'll still draw people in if it feels good at first glance, do the opposite and it could be the epitome of kino yet nobody will even bother with a free download>>540311703you are not fine. please learn vector math, you are stuck in plato's cave, your thinking is constrained by the tools the engine developers give you. i would not be this anal about it but you're making a flight sim.you can make a lazy chase camera by continuously projecting the camera's position onto a sphere centered on the aircraftlet:pa=aircraft world pospc=camera world pospc' = normalize(pc-pa) * camera_distancethen, to keep it behind the aircraft, you slerp it towards the aircraft's back vector (use delta time * variable you can tweak)lastly you want to rotate the camera to point where the plane is pointing, you can just lazily slerp to the plane's quaternion and that should look fine for a startto make sure the camera doesn't get stuck in the wrong pos/rot for too long, you can boost the slerp based on the dot product between the desired orientation and the current one
>>540310537That's funny.
>>540312359it was pretentious trash
>>540309537it's called shillingallocate 80% of your budget to it and you'll be finesuck cock for shill money if you have to but you MUST obtain it, nothing is organic
>>540312757It was enjoyable pretentious trash, not everything has to be le art piece.
hungry little mouf
>>540313006can I....you know...
>>54031286780% of Deadwire's budget was allocated to shilling. Why did it flop?
>>540313265deadwire? more like dead on arrival
>>540313046Fuck around and find out.
>>540312943it literally is "le art piece" caked in the cum crust of late industrial society, cooked at just the right temperature for the palate of already-overweight teenage girls studying to become future cognitive behavioral therapists and multi level marketing gurus
>>540313265forgot to sacrifice enough coke and sloppy blowjobs at the altar of game journalism
>>540313437no, it's just another run of the mill "i just found out what gnosticism is" movie from the late 90s.
>>540310824I'm just warming up.
>it freaking shworks
>>540313709your description of meth is literally word for word what i heard from someone else alreadyhe did not end up getting anything done on it
>>540313575You sure about that? Any more excuses?
How do I design appealing characters?
>>540313992Well meth makes people have sex with guys i guess since ai can code I'll do that
>>540310472in college i took a bunch of adderrall with a girl i was friends with. it was cool at first and we started having sex, and then she said we should do more adderrall and also ecstasyso we did that, and started having sex again. then her neighbor started mowing the lawn and we thought we were under attack or something, and i locked myself in her bathroom with her dog and wouldn't let her in cus i forgot that she had invited me over to do drugsshe kept pounding on the door and eventually knocked it down and then she called me a pussy because i was butt naked and crying in her bathtub with her dog (german shepherd) just looking at mebut then she got all emotionally attached and apologized for calling me a pussy and then we had sex againit was pretty fun but thats the only time i had sex. its also what got me into making games because i became a shut-in after that
>>540313996i don't know one thing about this title or anything else that came out in the last 5 years so noall i know is that there's a finite amount of shilling required to sell you a box of literal shit
>>540314527You know literally nothing. You have no game. Never post here again.
>>540314390>humble bragging about a pity fuck you've received a decade agoliterally nobody cares
>>540314789i didnt even get to the best part of the story
>>540314687ouch, i must have struck something personalwhich one was it, your steam account full of trash you bought to fit in with fat nerds, or your delusion that you have more than 0.1% chance to make it organically with zero backing?
>>540314082just steal them like a proper chink
When you lost your virginity, did you tell the girl that you were a virgin? Was it hard to figure out how to have sex the first time?
>>540310537Cool!Now that you're here, watch this.I'm getting this error while moving through scenes. Is this normal?I'm using wine btw.
>>540315596This happened to me once too.
>>540315565>implying anyone here lost there virginity
>>540316034Around 385,000 babies are born alone EACH DAY.
>>540315596>>540315763It shouldn't happen. Which transition causes this? Does it always trigger in the same spot? Also what is the refresh rate of your monitor?
>>540316227ok? since it takes two people to make one baby, that means that 385,000x2, or 770,000, people are having sex on a daily basis to keep a constant stream of babies being born.the world population is around 8 billion, meaning that only around 0.01% of the world population has sex.What makes this worse???? As more babies are being born, the population increases, which means the ratio of nonsex havers to sex havers also increases. its looking grim. pretty soon it will be statistically impossible to have sex.
>>540316227Great, more babyslop to flood the market.
I find it funny I'm basically learning from 120 year old books about music composition, drawing and painting.
>>540316794>that means that 385,000x2You forget that 50% of people can reproduce much more frequently than the other half
progress: I haven't cleaned out my onahole since Demo Day 63 and when I opened the zip seal bag I keep it in it filled my whole room with the smell of fish and after I got done using it my glans itches and i think i got a urinary tract infection because it hurts when i pee and the thought of making a phone call and scheduling a doctors appointment fills me with so much anxiety and now i'm too anxious to work on my game so i'm just going to lay down and listen to Yameii and Sewerslvt to help me relax and maybe catch up on my voice training and record some lines for the H-scenes in my game.
>>540317118ok, so add another 385,000 into the mix. doesnt really change much.
>>540315565what the fuck? see these are the questions that you retarded zoomers obsess over. she had no idea because of my looks. she assumed i had been with others, no it was second nature for me matter of fact, i just stuck it in. stayed with her for quite a while after that
Do you have any goals for your game other than just “making it”? One of my dreams is to have my game or its characters become popular enough that I can justify having a figure or a plush doll made. I think that’d be fun.
>>540316794I've had sex hundreds of times and have made zero babies as far as I know.
>>540315565>heh, pretty good for a first timer, eh? class wasnt the only thing I studied for in college ;)then she put her dentures into her mouth and said>yeah, sure. right. now get the fuck out of my motel room and dont forget your stuffed animals.
>>540317204Please stop trying to do math it's not your strong suit
>>540317243I want an official animated adaptation like Steins Gate and Higurashi.
>>540317389Its actually my best skill, followed closely by art.
>>540315565She knew beforehandIt was hard. She wanted me to be rough with her but i dont like that
>>540317243i would really love to have a moderately sized but dedicated community that lasts for yearsit would also be nice to create modding tools and have a flourishing modmaker scene. Having people inspired and dedicated enough to create a thing that surpasses the original. like Antibirth for Isaac, or that Black Tower or whatever it's called for Darkest Dungeon.become a known eceleb like erik calzone, propel art careermake a shitton of money and retire
>>540310882>It's kind of not that major of a change and I'm trying to do big-impact things right now.You're not going to make it if you think that. The camera is literally one of THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS of these kinds of games and if your camera is bad your game will look like shit no matter how much RTX Lumen TAA Mixel Quixel you slather on it. You need to fix the camera ASAP. Even the most basic and tiny amount of camera movement will go a very, very long way in making this look and feel better.This isn't even a great way to do it, but try this because it's the easiest to explain in greentext and will give you an idea of what to do>take the velocity of the plane, offset the camera back by a very slight amount depending on how fast the plane is going>use either the input from the stick, or the angular velocity of the jet itself, and then add a rotation to the camera (which needs to be anchored at the plane's center) based on those things. E.g. if the stick pitches up, rotate the camera rig nose down slightly, add smoothing to this to make it look rightPic related's camera used rules that were literally that simple and it looked totally fine.
>>540317167it's ok, once sepsis sets in your troubles will be over
>>540317574Post your art
>>540317740>i would really love to have a moderately sized but dedicated community that lasts for yearsSame here. As unbearable as online fandoms can be, I’m sure it’s wonderful when something you’ve created is the center of so much admiration.
>>540316719>what is the refresh rate of your monitor?60Hz>Which transition causes this?I've only found two, and yeah every time.https://youtu.be/ePQw3TfNK28

>>540318371>>540318014not mine. give me a minute to open krita and I will draw a fresh new image for agdg
>>540317243The game's setting is a self fulfilling prophecy to be carried out by its cult following, depicting a new civilization intended to violently replace the current one, its philosophy shaped and forged by its origins, updated in real time as events unfold. It is an ARG that you are participating in, right now, with no safety guardrails and no consent required on your part.
Check out my new original character Draygun! He's the main character in my awesome new game called "The Draygorian Tail"
>>540318713Yee
>>540318713Dray is such a cool name, is it short for Drake? Perfect play on words name.
howdy, I've had a bit to drink. Wanted to say you guys (many of you) helped me through the pandemic, and I'm glad despite anything that I've met you folks in the field of battle.
>>540309195conveniently forget the 12 years of viral marketing leading up to its release
>>540314390drugs give you brain damage and make you retarded
>>540318673>>540318014it is a new character idea i have been thinking about lately. a once proud lizard warrior who gets swooped into a world similar to children's shows like teletubbiesI call him Hydrake, and will be the main character in my game called"Hydrake's Hijinks"
>>540308575we really do need more mental masturbation in this threadi mean the kind of shit that 3-year-olds think up for adults to hang on fridges after they're done working, but really crumple up and throw out instead
>>540318669Oh sorry, I didn't publish it lol.
>>540319525i wish they did so that i could be stupid enough to make games for a living again>>540319634so which is it, do we care about graphics or not? or does it depend on being friends with the discord jannies
huh?
>>540317243get with the times, you literally haven't made it until your fans kill someone in real life
>>540320314Whose footprints are these?
>>540318351>>540319976Ok, now first one shouldn't be possible to access as that area is still WIP, I guess I didn't secure that one wall, so the game is trying to move you to an area that simply isn't there yet. I guess I still should secure it somehow so the game won't crash.Second one is a little different, it says it can't generate a texture big enough. I was testing my game on Win7 and Win10, and both high-end and moderately low-end rigs can run it. If you're running it on WinE I'd guess you need to give it more memory? I'm planning to do some work on linux version too, maybe dedicated build won't have this issue.
You know what I just realized? Grassfag probably has the most publicity of any of us just by poking the retard one time. I think I'm gonna have to cash in on this.
>>540320735>Second one is a little different, it says it can't generate a texture big enough>I'm planning to do some work on linux version [of a lua game] toook, fuck it. i need to write an apology form to that one /jp/ anon and then commit sashimi immediately
>>540320987>ok, fuck it. i need to write an apology form to that one /jp/ anon and then commit sashimi immediatelywhy? Is something wrong?
>>540321169yes.how the everloving dick are you running out of texture size in a tile based game and why does a game written in a cross platform lua engine need any porting
>>540318371>>540319634Better than mine you win
>>540321434>taking on the industrythis is so funny. if you were to actually go out and take on the industry in any capacity, the moment the industry gets out of bed to handle you, you wouldn't even know what hit you

>>540322203make a story that revolves around base human desires
>>540321964Nah
>>540321964Not neat.
>>540321964are you seriously getting excited over them bundling some quanted 7B retard maybe finetuned with their documentation, just run the model yourself dipshiti thought game developers were smarti guess this technically means my engine is ahead of unreal, neat
it works!
>>540322757mine works better
>>540321484I dunno, I never had any problems with it from that angle and I don't use linux
nothing works i give up
>>540321484Are they loading in like the entire map as a single texture and not actually tiling things?
>>540322826if people are running out of texture size, i'm immediately thinking of retarded shit like the entire tilemap just being baked to one giga nigga RGBA32 imagei have seen manmade horrors beyond comprehensionbut i'll admit i don't know how love2d works and i never will, maybe it's some dumb shit like a font atlaswhy does this even require a GPU, your game can be drawn in GDI in software. and if you must use a GPU, you could actually keep the vram cost within a couple megabytes by using a shader that applies a hardware palette. at no point should you ever run into hardware limits with this, you could probably do all this on a voodoo 1>I don't use linuxthat i can understand, fuck linux
>>540322757But did it work on the first compile?
>>540322949super cute post
>>540317167was this post a falseflag to damage boccher optics
shmup bros, our response?https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VD0vvL28rVU>>540320735I searched for the error and nothing, I tried changing the windows version in wine but also nothing
Does the bocchi poster actually do anything gamedev related, or do they just post bocchi?
if i had a single friend i could make a game
>>540325574Yes.

A Deus Ex remake has been announced. It's over for my game.
>>540337517okay but what's the twist
>>540337835The twist is that it exists as a computer program that you can link to and be made available for other people to play instead of just an idea in your head.
>>540337754maybe not so much
>>540337253Dungeon Crawler where you play as a fairy who has to help the protagonist.
>>540337957but my game needs to be different from all the other flappy bird-likes or there's no point making it
>>540338051Wrong, retard.

good morning 'goon squad,did i miss any good posts? let's FVARKING get it
>>540338024Did they port this to the Invisible War engine?
>>540338306Imagine you walk in first day to a piano class, and the teacher sits you down and tries to get you to play "Mary had a little lamb". You refuse, saying that there's no point if you're not making original music right away, since that is goal.You are looking for an excuse to procrastinate. You are never going to find the willpower necessary to make video games. Leave this general and never come back.
anyone ever done a modifiable stat system before i've done like 4 and they have all been nastysuppose i have a value like speed that can be affected by a handful of different sources like equipment, current action, and status effectshow do i make sure the value is up to date when those modifiers are constantly in fluxthe naive approach of "just store a float and add and remove stuff from it" is terrible and difficult to debugi see 3 options but none of them are jumping out to me as great>every object implementing stats should know every source that can affect each of its stats, and iterates over them to calculate a final stat value whenever one of those sources changes>modifiers of a stat subscribe/unsubscribe to a stat's OnRecalculate event, and can set that stat dirty. when the stat is read, if dirty call OnRecalculate>a stat holds a list of structs that describe how a value should be modified. modifiers add/remove values from these lists
>>540338024But who is gonna buy my game now?
>>540338840bro, i have been doing this hobby for 5 years...
>>540338840it's more like you're trying to get your 5 year old to do baseball drills while your neighbor Fred lets his kid play with the other kids at the parkyour kid grows to hate baseball and sports and becomes a nerd faggot while Fred's son is going to the MLB with a bodycount in the thousandstl;dr you're projecting
>>540331043ok i actually sat through most of thishe didn't learn much from his life at all. he mentions every problem but fails to put it all together.
>>540338891base speedactual speed = base speed * modifiersyou are overthinking things to the point of mental illness, use an LLM to break out of your choice paralysis
>>540338891The dirty flag method works well. Honestly, unless you're dealing with hundreds of units all using dynamic stat sheets, it won't even cost 1% CPU to just fully recalculate all stats every tick.>>540339242You have the mental maturity of a 5 year old. Game development isn't a game. If you want to git gud, you have to do your drills.
>>540339470you are saying option 3.fine then, but what mechanism do i use to make sure the Applier of the modifier can later remove the modifier it applied>>540339557i pasted this into chatgpt and it also got confused here so i will give you a pass. the 3rd option also includes a dirty flag that gets set when the list of modifiers changes
>>540338051if you want an original idea then you have to think it, sorry
>>540339242this is actually a good post for oncethis applies to le yesdevs, loomisfags, failfasterfags and all the other larpersgrinding doesn't actually do shit, nobody i know who's actually capable in any field has ever done grinding. you don't have time to grind, you need to cheese the level 100 boss and gain like 50 levels at once
>>540339557wrong. There are pro athletes who have never done a drill. They just played. No one has ever been successful only doing drills. To get good at something you need to do it, not do a bunch of vaguely related gay chores. Drills are only useful if you have the experience and comfort level to apply them.Should he make an MMO first thing? No. But he should make a game he wants to make and that he has to design himself. Not autopilot some shitty youtube guide "Making pong is THIS easy???" and come away with absolutely fucking nothing.
>>540338891this is called a dependency graph, be sure that dirty status propagates to dependents>>540339557following every meme and being obsessed with appearing mature are telltale signs of immaturity
>>540339828>>540339951Both of you are absolutely clueless, coming up with 100% bullshit cope. You don't know anyone who's actually capable in any field. Every professional athlete trains as a full-time job. In any competitive field, you need to be talented, you need to work smart, AND you need to work hard. You are a child looking for an excuse to not put in the work. You are never going to make it.
Any good suggestions on how to make a good quest system for Godot? So far i've come to dictionary and a bunch of functions that specify what i'm checking in dialogues.I especially need something that can be used with Dialogic, since it's my main dialogue plugin, and it's pretty limited with checking stuff. It's maximum limit is checking if bool func == true.
>>540339951>Should he make an MMO first thing? No.you can literally make one in luanti (minetest) as your first game and many have done so, before that there was BYOND, before that there were MUD engines
>>540330240that looks annoying as fuck
>>540340217consuming a stat is extremely easy. I can either do an event to notify that it has been changed, or lazy load it when it is read, or both.it's the management of modifiers that is the tough problemanyway i think i figured it out. i will just have the Stat object return the ID of modifiers when they are added, and remove those modifiers when necessary. ...oh wait some of the ways a modifier can get added to a thing hold no state, so i can't store that ID for later
>>540340297i do this for a living you gargantuan fucktardi have accumulated cross discipline skill that you will never approach in your lifetime and the only reason i'm not flexing it right here as proof is because the costs and benefits just don't add uponly reason i'm even engaging here is because it might save some poor lad from wasting time on your larp when they would've been just fine doing what they do
>>540339828kind of missing the point, you DO need to grind, but if you're not having fun you'll get outgrinded every time.There's also the fact that every skill involved with making pong isn't really that useful. The hardest part of making games is game design. Come up with a blueprint, try to implement it, and see how it turns out. That's by far the best way to learn how to make games.>>540340297not sure if nodev codemonkey or nodev artslave but no that's not really how it works. There are fields where you need to grind and fields where you need talent. Making indie games is about talent, you aren't beating triple A studios churning out clones. Of course you also need to make the game but you can use AI or money to help with that. Stop acting like being an indie dev or any creative is the same as flipping burgers because it's not. Well maybe it is, if you want to make $5 an hour instead of $15
>>540340297Also, this is my progress so far. Testing site with a few scenes-locations, dialogues, inventory tab, quests tab, quest update popup and also pretty flexible quest system. Like in this webm the "correct" way to start the quest is to talk to the NPC first, he tells you to find his book, and only then you go to other location, take the book (optionally burn it) and then talk with npc about the book again. What I've done in this webm is: I took the book first, quest accepted with the same name but with different description, then I burned the book, and only then talked with the NPC. This way you can tell him straight away that the book was burned, and he get's mad. Quest failed.
>>540340527oh of course its fine if multiple stat modifiers use the same UUID if i always add/remove them all at the same time
We are in Wii-era nostalgia while aggydaggy is still stuck in ps1-era
I'm currently experiencing a bit of paralysis. For a first person project with a multiplayer component, I'm unsure if I should try my hand at a hybrid system with a dedicated first person view model, or if I should try one of those janky "true first person" setups where you have a camera set inside and poking out of the character's head. For character models that may have radically different postures, I'm almost certain the hybrid system would be the better call. But it's a lot of work. And it may be a horrible sacrifice of immersion regarding player spacial awareness. I dunno. Bnuuy.
>>540340527propagate dirty on change, lazy eval and have all possible kinds of optional callbacks per node (updated, added, removed, etc.), that's probably the beststore every intermediate value unless you have like tens of thousands of actors (and maybe even then)the rest is just building a proper acyclic graph
I had log messages disabled in console. Argh, wasted 15 mins trying to figure out what went wrong.
>>540341101i feel like you are just talking out of your ass man
can we do something like this in unity, or is this only suited for video production? The quality is something else
>>540340349You can create a Dialogic extension that adds timeline events to check or set any external custom variable you want. They're pretty simple to make. As for the actual quest system, it depends on what your game is what kind of quests you want to support, but something like a simple Dictionary[StringName, int] to denote quest identifier and progress is enough for most games.>>540340785The thing is: everyone is talented. There are hundreds of thousands of aspiring gamedevs and as few as a few hundred successful indie releases per year. Solo indie gamedev is one of the absolute hardest things you can be doing in life. The untalented should fail fast and move on with their lives. The talented are still competing with tens of others of highly talented devs, and it's work and effort that will set you apart.>use AI or money to help with thatThis is a very newdev take. There are very few things that money or AI can solve, and for the few things it can solve, it won't solve them particularly well.

I'll look at that, thank you!> but something like a simple Dictionary[StringName, int] to denote quest identifier and progress is enough for most games.This is an actual problem for me, since quests in my game are non-linear. They can start differently, they are non-linear.As I said in this post: >>540340816So far I've made something like that:class_name QuestDataquest_id: String;quest_name: String;quest_descriptions: Array[QuestDescription];var quest_updates: Array[QuestUpdate];class_name Questvar quest_id: String;var quest_name: String;var quest_description: QuestDescription;var quest_updates: Array[QuestUpdate];class_name QuestDescriptionvar description_id: String;var description_text: String;class_name QuestUpdatevar update_id: String;var update_description: String;And also special QuestTracker class that does all the hard work. It fills a Dictionary of string:QuestData with all quests that are possible in the game, reads the dialogic signal, creates Quest resources based on what it recieves in signal. This way I can emit the quest start with different descriptions, emit quest different updates, emit failing/finishing the quest. After updating the quest it just emits signals like quest_started, quest_finished etc. with the quest_id, that are recieved by UI scenes. All these scenes really do is just finding the related quest class and fill the text of it's nodes accordingly.
How will AI voice acting impact indie games in the future?
the best devs don't grind
>>540340785that's just splitting hairs about the meaning of "grind", i define that as grinding for the sake of grinding, like drawing 1000 fucking owls because some fat fuck on a finger painting board told you to. you will not improve like thisyou need to actually challenge yourself, you can only learn by doing things you haven't done yet. the first skinned 3D model I got paid for was possibly less than my 10th ever and I probably haven't made more than 100 totalas for code it's not even the right discussion to have, getting good at coding requires something completely different, the most important part is not being afraid of tech. realize that humans made all of this and as long as you're genetically viable it is within your capacity to understand. do make that opengl engine, people in the 90s had to do this with zero prior art; imagine it's 1995 and your boss buys a PSX devkit, throws you the libgpu reference and tells you that you have 3 weeks to learn this. people made actual games in those conditions, they had no time to grind any of it. they just walked on land. stop being afraid of your work.long ago when i still frequented this shitpit, there was a lot of tech i wanted in my project, literal pipedreams like using my favorite level formats and editors, or making my own editors for thingsand the best thing i have ever done was sit down and make all of them. once one of them cracked, they started falling like dominoes and i had the sickest setup ever. i have since replaced it with things 10x as ambitious. i literally did not notice when i reached industrial levels of skill, it was exponential.
>>540325830use rust
>>540342796Also, another thing is that my quest system doesn't tell the player "do this". It tells them "you did that" instead. I think this way is much more intereting in non-linear style.
>>540342938very positively, that's the only financial moat the industry has other than them just paying people to break your legs

>>540343006>the best thing i have ever done was sit down and make all of themWhat? You mean you shouldn't just hang around in /agdg/ all day asking for game ideas without ever having even downloaded a game engine before and constantly trying to spark debates about how every tool out there is somehow imperfect and therefore you can't start on anything?
>>540342075what did she do?
>>540334476everything you do has your private information, nothing is truly private
>>540343118I think that that will just cause players to be annoyed when they have to look up guides.
>>540337754>>540338024yeah it looks like dookieyou'll be fine
>>5403430062/2contrary to yesdev propaganda this did not cripple my ability to do focused production when i need to, quite the opposite. the contract work feels like a vacation compared to the meme projects i waste my free time on, and the ability to solve singular moonshot problems can be applied to create yourself a hyperoptimized workflow for a specific job. grinding will NOT teach you how to do that, how to spend a week setting up a domain specific assembly line so that the rest of the work takes another week, rather than grinding it all linearly over the course of half a year. if you don't understand "processes" like this for lack of a better word, you literally don't understand tech and programming in the first place. the best programmer is the laziest one. this job is entirely about figuring out how to trick a computer into doing everything for you.the other side of the coin is that if you buy every meme, be obedient, do only non-threatening, forgettable projects and have exactly zero sovl, you will end up like this bloke >>540331043 with zero professional connections to your name, because you are completely and utterly forgettable and gullible. i have followed various agdg graduates and have a pretty decent sample size to make those claims. every one of them that can be called exceptional now was exceptional from the start and did not listen to bottom feeders, and usually had almost comically hostile skepticism to any kind of advice, myself included. if you do not question things you aren't going to make it. end.
>>540343416nah, nothing wrong with some shitpostingbut i'm just saying you don't need st. john fucking carmack's permission or a math degree to make that bsp editor or procedural mapgen or kkrieger like texture generator, you can just sit down and fucking do itif you have even a vague idea of how it'll work, it's enough
>>540340982why do DEI love indian/black women so muchmost forced shit ever
>>540334476there might be residue like paths from your PC which can include your username, and in worst case shit like a GUID that your windows install rolled on first booti have no idea i'm only guessing what's possiblethe game build will also leave appdata folders and registry keys with the "company name" you have set up in the build settings (at least was the case like forever ago)
>>540344419If you've been gone for a long time, I'll forgive the ignorance. The "Make Pong" meme stems from how, in your absence, more than half of this thread has been populated by deadbeat zoomer losers with zero skills and refuse to learn any. They shit up the thread dreaming up lore for their open world MMO without having written a single line of code ever in their lives.Pong is not supposed to be a grind. It's supposed to get them going from zero to one. It's also supposed to be just hard enough to filter out NGMI complete retards. Otherwise, it'd be "make a 2d platformer following a tutorial", which is way easier.>>540344940Yesdevs can shitpost here all they want, but nodevs are not allowed to post anything here except their first game.>you can just sit down and fucking do itThey literally can't. They won't do shit. They're going to post some asinine shit here and immediately go back to doomscrolling YouTube. They're never going to learn any skills and they're never going to make a game.
>>540344419>>540343006Truth nuke. Grinding is cope. Once you're familiar enough with a task to be able to grind it, you need to move on to a new task. Otherwise, you'll stagnate, and your competition will outperform you. You will be left in the dust pumping out mediocre Vampire Survivors clones making $30,000 a year. Your competition will be making new hit titles because they summoned the effort required to understand what people actually enjoyed about VS, and applied that conceptual knowledge to their own games with new unique spins.Don't grind. This isn't rice farming. This isn't factory work. This isn't mail delivery.This is game development.This is a creative pursuit that requires deep conceptual understanding of human psychology. You can't grind that. You simply can not.Spend more time thinking. Think hard. Understand what's happening. Understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and who you're doing it for.Don't open up Aseprite and grind the same pixel art animations 12 hours a day for 3 months straight before upgrading your canvas size from 32x32 to 64x64. This is useless. Cowardly vanity that explores no new boundaries. Zero beneficial ground-breaking knowledge or developmental capabilities are gained from this. Zero. Zero struggle. Zero reward. Mediocrity solidified through comfort.If you're not willing to explore new cognitive horizons and devise novel solutions with the intention of creating better interactive experiences for gamers, then you are not cut out for this. Simply put. No exceptions. Make mobile games or work in triple-A instead. Those industries are tailor-made for grinders. The game formulas have been discovered and verified. Copy them, make them longer, and pump out more ads. Go there. Leave here.Indie dev is for creatives. It will always remain that way.This is the realm of novel cognition. If you disagree with this, you are incompatible.

>>540345225>They're never going to learn any skills and they're never going to make a game.Who cares. Ignore them. They'll leave. Keep working. Keep thinking. Keep developing video games.You will remain. They will leave. As indie dev becomes increasingly competitive, the filtration process will become shorter. Eventually, only true yesdevs will remain. Everybody else who dabbles in the idea of making games will pump out some AI-generated slop, upload it to Steam, flop with 2 negative reviews, and quit.Previously, because indie games took longer to make, and had less competition, people would persist in their delusions for longer.This will no longer be the case. These people will not remain here.
>>540345225i don't trust you. you sound like one of those people who flipped their shit at any hint of ambition back in the day.if you think that first game must be completed at all costs for the sake of completion, you need to get floggedthe moment you understand your project, abandon or expand it. you are not going to sell your first pong, so completing it and giving it an itch page is worthless.
>>540345501>Everybody else who dabbles in the idea of making games will pump out some AI-generated slop, upload it to Steam, flop with 2 negative reviews, and quit.I really wish they would do at least that. They won't.>people would persist in their delusions for longer.There are regular posters here who admit to having been around for over a decade and still have not even really begun to make a game. Neverdevs are capable of deluding themselves forever. >These people will not remain here.Yes, they will. It is the civic duty of a responsible yesdev to bully every nodev.
Tokyo Game Show looks so fun. Any anons here over there right now? I hope my game will be there one day, they even have a indie wing.
>>540345127ah, this is actually not that bad I think then, thought more would be there like unity account information or some location bullshit, not a lot you can do I guess knowing the game is in C:/pc/users/John/funnything/ thank you, hope the feds don't know any better

yeah it took 1 day and my checkpoint/lora setup is basically king midassucks to suck I guess
>>540345685There's a difference between ambition and delusion. When I first started gamedev, one of the things that I found most helpful was participating in game jams and getting good enough to actually ship something for the short 48-72 hours ones. It really taught me just how massively overscoped everything else I was trying to make really was.>completing it and giving it an itch page is worthless.Experience is never worthless. There's a dozen different "oh I didn't realize I needed to do that" moments between imagining Pong as actually transforming it into a game that you can link to and others can play.>>540345941Most won't and the few that try will seriously struggle with it. You sound like you've probably been programming since a young age, but these many of these nodevs are in their mid-to-late 20s and have never even written Hello World.
>>540345501it seems like the definition of yesdev/nodev has changed since i last visitedi was regularly called a nodev for following a normal production schedule and not wasting time on demos. the crabbing was off the charts to the point i left as soon as an alternative popped up, not that it helpedit's like some people took personal offense that i did not follow the same linear progression as they did, like i didn't eat my gamemaker vegetables, didn't install gentoo, didn't read loomis, etc. these people will crab the hardest to justify the time they wasted.also funny to see unreal finally being called the bloated piece of shit it is, you would not believe the meme pressure UE4 generated when they dropped it
>>540346658We're basically at a point where having downloaded Godot, actually booted it up, and cluelessly clicked around for 3 minutes before closing it forever makes you better than more than half of /agdg/ and grants you access into the prestigious Yesdev Club. That's how bad things have gotten.
there i made a flappy bird-like, its different from the rest because it has a dash as well and you have to jump from the ground, except for after dashing, that gives you a mid air jump as well

>>540346508>There's a difference between ambition and delusionlet me guess, you define the border somewhere slightly above your own levelactually i consider game jams the most retarded thing ever, it's pure masturbation, you get nothing out of it. there is not enough time in a game jam to properly explore the problem space.and no there is no value to packaging and releasing fucking pong or the next 10 projects you should immediately abandonearly on your cycle should be "how do i implement this thing i've already seen" but if you actually branch one of these off into a long project, stick with it until you've milked itthis is a bit different from "le fail faster" because your sole criterion should be that the current project must be hard>but these many of these nodevs are in their mid-to-late 20s and have never even written Hello Worldthere is more overlap between those and the by-the-book yesdevs than you think, they're two evolution stages of the same creatureneither has any business being here, they come here because they wanna "be a dev" first and foremost rather than because they're losing sleep over how non-tank 3D controls work or how to triangulate a polygon

>>540347508Game jams are mostly useless past a certain level, but the hard deadlines and limitations are extremely helpful for chronic procrastinators. They're also quite fun since I get to make something very different from my "real" games. >let me guess, you define the border somewhere slightly above your own levelYou seem strangely hostile over this lol. It sounds like you're harboring unresolved trauma from pervious online engagements. My level is extremely high, and for most posters here, the border I would draw for them is far below my own level. I personally encourage more ambitious games, but only for proven yesdevs who have demonstrated significant skills and are ready to hop from their NGMI beginner project to something more commercially viable."By the book" devs wouldn't be posting here. They'd be slaving away at their AAA jobs.

>>540326323Couple things that are sticking outYou're selling a cryptic weird-schizocore game, but you're also telling everyone that you're selling weird-schizocore. It feels too formulaic. You want your audience to be intrigued by mystery, not saying up front what's behind the game increases the mystery.On the other hand, being vague in your description (some ships, some primordial elements, some mystical rituals) and somehow describing in tl;dr format lore feels lackluster. Saying about ancient prophecy and in the same breath telling us in detail how it's gonna happen and that we can stop it! yay! throws me way off. Half of the intrigued people will know enough from that description to not investigate further, others might just not be interested by the way you describe the story as they might think the same type of storytelling is inside the game. You need to have one grounded detail, expand upon it and only hint about the destruction, or how it happens, How about>You are food. You've always been food. You came onto this world to be consumed, to be devoured by your primordial creators. How unfortunate that you learnt about it at the end of the times, the Ante-Diotoromus.

I wonder if it's silly to attempt to learn so many things at once. a jack of all trades doesn't get hired but he can produce higher quality solo games.but even if I mastered a domain there are 5 other unemployed masters with experience and a degree looking for a job.I want to leave this shithole of a country and the best option seems to be a shot in the dark..
>>540356626The good chain of events started from stopping gamedeving
>>540331043Wtf? If I had a degree, I'd just find a job. You people act like coding does not pay well. A software engineer degree is much better than something like sociology or psychology or gender studies.
>>540346069Just imagine all these people playing your game...
>>540356948It's very hard to find a software engineering job right now.Mainly because of AI, oversaturation and overseas outsourcing.Unless you have a lot of experience in niche fields I would just drop tech altogether as a potential career option.
>>540357031I don't care as long as they pay for it.
I honestly really want to just open an SDL and OpenGL 2.1 book and just gamedev with those.
>>5403532265 whole days? Damn. Can you imagine wasting so much time? I can't.
>>540357206
>>540357118OpenGL is pretty simple, just read https://learnopengl.com and then make your game with that knowledge. I'm not sarcastic, it is actually very simple and fun to use. VBO, IBO, VAO, Shader, Shader Program, Uniforms, Mat4, Vec4, whatever, not even too many things to remember.
>>540357118Also: Why would you waste your time with 2.1? Why is everyone suddenly using 2.1? It's shit. Are you going to release game for some obscure version of Mesa3D that supports DOS?
>>540357106The point is to make them want to go home ASAP and buy the game. Also to sell merchandise.
>>540357405what's wrong with 2.1?It runs on any thirld world PC.I still remember having to buy a geforce 210 to be able to gamedev because libgdx moved to opengl 2.1
>>5403575372.1 was released in 2006. If you want to go that far back in time, sure. Otherwise I'd stick to core profile 3.3>GLSL 3.30 (March 11, 2010), Backports as much function as possible from the OpenGL 4.0 specification

>>540361961It's a UE5 tech demo. That's what Metahuman is.
>>540361798I took 3D scans of my penis and used them as the base model for every character in my game.
>>540362125I haven't seen any other UE5 demo come close to looking as realistic. The lighting looks distinctly not lumen and the characters are missing a lot of the normal metahuman issues like shitty dithered hair.
>>540361798I don't think anyone here is competing with Kojima, we are not on the same market, we're basically competing with each other, in silence
>>540361798FUCK. I was making a game EXACTLY like this, with the same actors even. I really can't compete with this.
>>540358691I think if the player has visible sidelocks and your score is awarded in sheckels you can avoid the right wing backlash
>>540359697Start with Pong. Then mod one location in Skyrim to look like that. Then see if you still want to make an entire game.
>>540361798The only good games Kojima ever was involved with were Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2. After those, it's been a steady downhill trend.
guess i should rope. thanks gabe.
another daywhat a waste
I was reading this book called "Level Up! The guide to great game design" and it mentioned something interesting about game titles that I want to share.>A literal title makes it easy to figure out where the title came from. It can be the name of your main character, like Sonic the Hedgehog or Voodoo Vince. It can be the main location of your game, like Castle Wolfenstein or Saint's Row. Or you can name your game after a gameplay activity or component like Command and Conquer or Boom Blocks.>The action/cool title is a title that captures the spirit of the game without mentioning any of the game characters or locations. I think games like Darksiders, Brütal Legend, and Gears of War all have cool titles.>The punny title is a title that makes you appreciate the cleverness of the title. Just Cause, Half Life, and System Shock are all good examples of punny titles.>A purple cow title is one that makes your customer stop in their tracks and stare. It compels the reader to wonder why the title was chosen. Once the player has played the game, they understand the significance.I think the literal title and purple cow are some of the best you can choose. Purple cow title is difficult to come up with. Examples of purple cow from /agdg/ include "Marmoreal" and "Mongol">The advantage to a purple cow title is once you've associated the word with their titles, it's hard for other people to use those words without conjuring up the image of the game. It's going to be a long time before anyone thinks of using the word Halo in their game title …This is why you read books btw. You always find thought provoking things like this.
>>540362439What's your game btw and I will follow your advice.
>>540362232Mongol...
>>540362454>edgy dev with edgy name finds out people don't care for edgy stuff actuallyI almost had a shred of sympathy for you, that was a close call
>>540361798if ghosts are real does that mean I'm going to have to compete with kojima and shiggy even after they finally die...?
>>540362125I noticed Metahuman immediately when I saw Clair Obscur for the first time, painfully, in the skin and horrible "natural" expressions. I don't see nothing from Metahuman clearly visible in OD, and if there is its probably shoveled under tons of work to make it distinct probs
>>540362543https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_van
>>540362609yes yes, you got political and failed, good for you
>>540362454https://store.steampowered.com/app/17500/Zombie_Panic_Source/how do you have 1,000 hours in this game
>>540362561There was literally a 3Lateral and Metahuman logo in the trailer.But yeah you're probably right. It's likely using Metahuman as the underlying tech but everything ontop of that is custom.
>>540362665there's an upgrades server
>>540362676sorry, when I said what I said it was moreso "I can't believe its metahuman" instead of " I don't think its metahuman"
>>540362556Yes. The number of game developers only increases with time.
>>540362556If God is merciful there will be no nepotism in afterlife so competition will be fair

Why are there no good superhero games? You’d think with how much money Marvel movies make there’d be an audience for games that follow a similar premise.Marvel Rivals didn’t exist until very recently, and that game’s really just Overwatch with a new coat of paint. It’s barely what I’d consider to be a superhero game.There have been tons of popular mods for GTA V and IV that give you the power of flight, super strength, etc. Cleary the power fantasy of having super powers is something players desire.The Infamous games were pretty good but that franchise has been dead for years and likely isn’t coming back.Make a superhero game.
>>540362825fuck off

>>540362906Americans comics are built on a mary sue gary stu type of fantasy.There's not possible to sucesfully write a superheroe comic, because there's not character growth.You got superman and spiderman, and they're all migthy and powerful, and that's it.There's not period of growth, of mastery, of a hard victory at the beggining stages of a heroe.There's not character growth, no big major personal emotional stakes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7w5IMyJ3pMYou could argue that anime is shit and bad, but the way shonen handle better the super heroe genre than americans, is just hilarious.

This is why spiderman is the most videogamed superhero, stuff is grounded and getting beat up is on character.
>>540363057super... superma... superma... su... super... mario......... mindfucked
>>540363383>I'm robbing myself of my time while unemployedOnly because you're choosing to not focus on developing a skillset that will allow you to provide for yourself in the future. You are making the choice to fuck around. You are choosing to not take your future seriously.When you have a job, you no longer have this choice. You are forced to spend your time and energy working. The option to choose between fucking around, shitposting, and playing video games, or being productive, is no longer available. You must choose productivity, or be fired, and left homeless. Do you see the difference?Take this shit seriously. When you're 35 years old, slaving away at an Amazon warehouse doing 12 hour shifts daily, being forced to work at a rate that leaves you at the brink of total exhaustion at the end of each shift, you will regret squandering the opportunities you currently have.Suicide fuel. Painful regret. Total sorrow.Focus.>>540363441This is feasible. Learn how to design narratives, or scenarios, that capitalize on base human desires. Learn how to create promotional content that explicitly displays these scenarios. Learn how to maximize the exposure this promotional content receives. The actual game itself is secondary in priority to the narrative, and third in priority to exposure. Money can be made, but your focus must shift from the intrinsic experience of making a game, to the specific process of maximizing desire. Learning behavioral psychology is important to this. Basal instincts, primitive desires, emotional triggers, these sorts of things develop profitability in the entertainment industry.

>>540363447>now videogames have such high stakes finantially when it comes to big ips that no company trusts their non originally from a game ips to be in good hands when handed out to a studio to make a game.Good point. I guess this is why nearly every superhero game is just recognizable characters put into a fighting game or hero shooter or whatever.>also making a game about having powers and winning everything is retardedYou’d just make it like any other game with a leveling system. You start off weak and gradually grow more powerful over the course of the game.Also part of the super hero fantasy is just being really strong and overpowered.

I've seen too many delusional autists waste the prime years of their lives chasing hopeless desires - totally unfeasible pursuits with impossible outcomes. I don't want this to be you. Do the best you can to ensure your future is inclined towards a positive outcome. What does your uncle do? How did he end up in this situation?

I was inspired after playing JFK reloaded and in awe at how realistic the process of trying to replicate his assassination was, while at the same time finding the horrible model work so funny. it all is a combo of this feeling of awe over that with also the feeling of "would be fun to have a standalone game you could just open and kill this guy whenever then close it">>540359423GMI vibes is such a fun thing to say at a shooting reenacment game, the only difference this has with the projects in the thread is that this sucks and also that I am having fun>>540362423To be concise with police reports you play as a transgender terrorist.

>>540362906One of my guilty pleasures is watching the MHA anime and it annoys me to no end that I’ll never get to play a video game set in that universe because the japs are fucking retarded when it comes to making games and would rather make gacha shit than something actually fun to play.
>>540364413Logistics. Autism. You enjoy doing meaningful work. You don't care as much as the average person does about the intrinsic emotional value of the task you are actively participating in. You care about making sure your effort is invested into important tasks, where the outcome will have a significant contribution to the development and operation of the environment you live in.If presented between a house party, with music, friends, strangers, alcohol, and drugs, or a relaxing night of playing video games and eating pizza at a LAN party with a small group of close friends, you're more likely to pick the latter. You prefer smaller social scenarios, so you can develop stronger bonds with the individuals, and be able to rely on them in the event of an emergency. Is this true?
>>540363889>part of the super hero fantasy is just being really strong and overpowered.>You start off weak I was gonna leave some corny commentary but you reminded me how much I loved the Iron game movie game that the PS2 had, as the tutorial was playing with the first armor Tony makes to escape being held hostage, then you learn to fly with tony making the first mark model, then as you progress you upgrade your armor til at the end of the game you're basically unstoppable by planes tanks and everything

does godot have an AI plugin yet? where i can just tell it what to do and it will figure it out for me like the unity AI plugin
>>540366481have you tried to read some books about what is fun?My own personal definition boils down to the thrill of danger of doing something dangerous, while at real risk of being killed and getting a game over, because there's a random reward in terms of tokens and points you need to win the game.That's pretty much what fun to me is.Also, fun is born from limitations, is more fun a game with limited ammo or weapons, because even if we prefere unlimited shit, unlimited shit is like drinking raw sugar.As for what is fun challenge, I find it basically depends on 3 aspects.One is the dexterity challenge, which boils down to reaction times, and coordination.Another is the bullet sponge design, where enemies can tank more damage.Another is multitasking, which is more about enemies having patterns that overlap in time.For me 3 enemies multitasking is clearly the one that delivers the more fun.

>>540364298make your own!its fun and instead of hopping from project to project you can hop from feature to feature you add in the engine as your idea/inspiration changes.I am 100% sure using my engine would be hell on earth for anyone who isn't me because nothing is explained. I recently added tooltips because I was forgetting how my own shit works.Ive missed posting here and looking at the other projects im glad to be back I havent had internet access for a while.

Tried my hand at 3D devving in Godot for the first time - and is it just me, or is devving in 3D WAY fucking easier than 2D?
It's crazy how I broke everything by just switching my code from using plain old C arrays to my dynamic array. My simple array assumes it owns its data, but while I'm copying the data around during runtime I guess at some point I have a typo somewhere or whatever and then it tries to use data that's been realloc'd or free'd. Fuck.
>>540358691you could just say i made it and people would not even question it

Here is my new original character for my game. Meet General Grex! He's the leader of rebel scum from the old guard who is seeking to take control during the invasion. Will he succeed? Find out in chapter 18 of my game! I've been working on this lore since grade school and I cannot wait for you all to see whats coming!
Been thinking of making a game like Voices of the Void, but set in a post-apocalypse bunker, and it would be a mix of cozy and spooky.I just haven't quite figured out what the gameplay loop would be, just the vibes.
i dont believe in myself or my ideas
>>540364579he was shot from behind. you can see the bullet on video and the splash of blood fly out behind his ear a few frames before it exits his neck.
>>540368378To add to this: Yeah the array treats its data as a char array, but IMO it shouldn't affect anything because whenever I access the data I cast it to the actual type its storing... I guess I have an issue with lifetimes or something, so some code somewhere has an old invalid pointer to some realloc'd or free'd array indice.
exactly what does steam not allow in games on their store?
>>540368969Also also: The fact that realloc may invalidate the old pointer makes manual memory management in C surprisingly difficult I guess. I mean if you want to have a contiguous chunk of dynamic memory that may grow dynamically, that is. Sure you can use some kind of custom allocator that is just a linked list of memory chunks, but that's not what I want...

>>540372703Keep the original but change the colors. I think these ones with the fonts just placed on top don't look good. I like how you drew the letters individually in the original.I honestly think for a cover art, never actually use a font and render it on top, always draw the text

>>540375145very nicenow tell me why did you decrease rounds number from 8 to 6? Also you replaced your font to a pixelated one and I don't like it now. I think that you should either have a hi-res font or have everything pixelated. Now you have a mismatched rounded edges with sharp edges of pixel font and it doesn't look very well.
>>540375708>why did you decrease rounds number from 8 to 6I'm gearing up for the steam release in a few months and I thought the demo was giving away too much about the full game. Maybe I could revert it for testing builds>Also you replaced your font to a pixelated one and I don't like it nowThe font was always pixelated, I just replaced it with another pixelated one. The "Y" and "V" and "O" and "D" characters looked too similar with the old font. There's actually a different font for the letter tiles and UI now. I'll try a high-res font and see how it looks though

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
Godonkey's, I haven't got a clear answer to this... In godot 4, do I have to use class_name to use _static_init() ? Or is it just that certain extends have _static_init() and some don't??Also, I've given up on the light-yellow editor theme, it IS pretty nice on the eyes just coding in the text editor, but too many other places in the program assume a darkmode theme that you end up with hard coded light colored text that becomes low contrast and even unreadable against a light background, plus my monitor is a VN panel not an IPS or OLED. In godot you just have to stick with darkmode I'm afraid. I had problems with my startup script executing multiple times, so if I put a print statement in its _ready or its _enter_tree, I get it printed 3-4 times on editor startup (it is a @tool script) and 2 times on game startup... it should only be once... so then I put a boolean guard like var onlyonce:bool=true func _ready(): if not onlyonce: return onlyone=false type of thing, but the variable was being reset when it was called by godot multiple times.... so now I've made a wrapper node which is class_name and uses static_init and the guard boolean is static var, and that seems to do the trick

What is the best way and plan to market and release a indie game?When to create steam page, what to put on the page?Should go early access? When?When to release final game?Where to put ads and when?When to make videos on youtube about the game?When to contact streamers?My game is only half finished and there is still long time to finish. But it is already playable and fun, I could release as early access soon.The problem is, Steam treats early access as releasing a game. When I will release 1.0 version there won't be any boost in visibility from Steam.

>>540363815>This is feasible. Learn how to design narratives, or scenarios, that capitalize on base human desires. Learn how to create promotional content that explicitly displays these scenarios. Learn how to maximize the exposure this promotional content receives. The actual game itself is secondary in priority to the narrative, and third in priority to exposure. Money can be made, but your focus must shift from the intrinsic experience of making a game, to the specific process of maximizing desire. Learning behavioral psychology is important to this. Basal instincts, primitive desires, emotional triggers, these sorts of things develop profitability in the entertainment industry.Got a book recc?

Any C coders here? I just got my dynamic array working in my game but I'm still a bit cautious if this is going to actually work properly in the long run.

But they were out of order, so I had to change it to not just output each block of text but allocate a datastructure for the text and the associated filename, and sort the list by filename so that devlog9.txt comes before devlog10.txt for example, and then write them into the target file in proper order... now i got to go to bed coz its 2am>>540377295it reminds me to stay focused on the prize and not become distracted on to much building things around it because godot changes could just break all of that down the track>>540377540hell yeah>>540386651I'm not sure, internal_array_grow() should not be a grow-by-power-of-2 because that can use too much ram in worst case, probably it is fine to grow by the size of a rounded up to nearest 16kb (some OS use 16kb page size not 4kb page size)and for array_remove, couldn't you run a loop over all the items that are after the to be removed to sum up their lengths, then move all the data at once? one big memcpy() is probably faster than many little ones because a fast memcpy has a 3-part loop, with the middle part using fast SIMD stuff, assuming array is contigous bytes and not like an array of pointers to sub byte buffers or something...but also, think about it at a higher level, are you going to be iterating array and conditionally removing stuff from it as you iterate it? how will that work, without it getting confused by changing it as it loops over it. you need to think how this use case (which can be pretty common I'd say) should work so that array_remove() and an access pattern that is optimal can be devised together. maybe even you'd just have a is-deleted flag on each item, and then at the end copy all the not deleted into the new array, then free the old one

I need help
Switching my text adventure from just Rich to Textual. I'm excited to someday start working on it but I keep getting stuck in the autism weeds on how I want to structure anything and everything.There's a lot of dumb shit to consider, like for instance how to deal with sizes of rooms. Why would it matter if a room is a cathedral or a crawlspace, if the character inhabits the entire room all at once. Also considering for the future things like 30 elephants could not fit in a kitchen type room. So that kind of stuff, it's very strange in pure text land because you're leaving it to the player's "theater of the mind" in some regards but also I don't want 30 elephants to fit in a kitchen.Pretty much the *only* thing I'm settled on is a node/edge/port system, where for instance a kitchen and livingroom are nodes with an edge between them (with some properties) but the actual method of traversing is a doorway which serves as the port on both kitchen and livingroom side. I don't know what I'm doing but the times I've tried in the past and been "lol don't overthink it!" I inevitably end up with some unusable shit because I didn't initially think things through.

Linked lists would fragment the memory unless I setup some custom allocator for it, right? These arrays will have thousands of elements stored in them, so I'd rather allocate one big chunk.
>>540393250I am not giving up. I just need some rest.
>>540392468>my game
>>540392550NTA. I could mow lawns and get the extra 18k I need to pay for the music I want and have my game finished faster than it would take to learn the music. Not everybody needs to have every skill, it's just not realistic in a lot of cases.
>>540393421Why do you need 18k for music? What tone are you going for and how many tracks do you need?
>>540393515Oh so you are a deranged looney troon. Kill yourself immediately.
>>540393421you're not going to get 18k for mowing fucking lawns, allejandro
>>540362490Can you give some examples of "Purple Cow" titles that weren't financial failures?
Will (You) release your game before world war 3 breaks out?Will Poke ALL Toads?Will Bokube?
>>540393515I'm just making up a hypothetical number for 60m @ 300/finished-minute
>>540393572What? I haven’t replied to you yet. Curious about your game and your situation. And I make music lol.
>>540393658You probably don’t need that much. Like a maybe 10 minutes of total music. 5 original looping tracks at 2 minutes each is more than most indie games offer. Have you found a person whose style you like who you would commission for the music?
infinite terrain
>>540393587Maybe he meant 18k rupees
>18k for music
>>540393893ah now that would make more sense!
for code use gemini 2.5 profor textures use nano bananafor models use meshyfor animation use anything worlduse suno AI for musicuse VoxCPM-0.5B for voice "acting"
>>540393421>fuck how do I make it seem like I’m not a lazy retard who refuses to learn new things fuck fuck fuck>uhh… actually I’d rather mow lawns than learn something haha
>>540393656WW3 is already out bro what are you talking about
>>540394076for posting about tools without ever making video games use agdg
>>540393831I have some references but I'm not looking closely at music right now. But your poost just makes my point more true. I even if I could find someone for 200/min and only need 10 minutes, that's only 2k, easily gained by mowing lawns in a couple of weekends vs spending months to years learning to make music.
>>540388313I'm working on my game for ~3 hours a day. How can I put more effort as a neet?
>>540394206you fucking numbskull retard, you aren't making even 2k in a couple of weekends mowing fucking lawns with your push mower. you are probably the dumbest fucker i've spoken to on here in a long time
>>540389078>>540389078>Wont be as good as AI art,are you ok in the head cris?
>>540393656Anon there are over a dozen countries that are itching to pull the nuclear trigger on Russia should they try anything. World War III is going to last a matter of days should it ever occur, which it won’t because nothing ever happens.
>>540394431>>>/pol/
>>5403942603 hours is pretty low. I usually do 8+ hour days when I'm working on stuff.
>>540387810Literally making random notes on a pirated fl studio copy and saving it as a 40kbps mp3 would showcase more passion love and trust on your product than whatever the ai vomited. when people play indie games its to enter the mind of the developer, if there's no thought put behind the things youre seeing and hearing there's like nothing to stay in the game for.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWo8v4t-utE
>>540394431your jewish geopolitical analysis skills are on par with your gamedev skills, "anon"
>>540394195
>>540394260have you tried putting in more effort?
>>540394510sowwy :3
>>540394431
>>540392468You need to come up with a game
>>540387938has any game that uses ai been succesful like at all without being like a rugpull made by indian slaves
>>540394905i don't understand why you wouldn't use AI as a solodev
>>540394691>godot>vulkan>same garbage 10min test you posted months ago with the chud texturesim telling you, if you rely on vibe coding without being a programmer you will shart your pants when you have to finish the game and release and doing anything is way above the context window of any AI
>>540394691Go away grassfag
>>540395245agdg is a /snow/ board
>>540395008because ai sucks?
>>540394370The point is that it's a surmountable amount of money to earn on the side if you needed to, and would take dramatically less time than "learning music production". If you want to change your argument from >if you don't learn music you're lazyto>If you can't afford music you can spend the time to learn it if you wantThen sure, that's an option. I would argue it's not the most cost effective option in the short term, but whatever, you can spend a year or more to get the the level where you're bad at making music but could theoretically produce something. You could also have worked at mcdonalds for about a month. Do whatever you think is more worth your time, I'm not saying there's NO value in learning music.
>>540394674>>540394789I just wanted to see how many Ivans we have ITT
>>540395706just you from the looks of it pal
>>540394431But Europe is completely insane and living in lies and illusions, and will force Russia's hand. Either Russia strikes first, or Europe will. What can force Russia's hand? Undermining MAD. Like targeting Russia ability to strike back.This Godot game could have been more popular.https://store.steampowered.com/app/951670/Precipice/Why is Europe insane? What are the causes? Too late to discuss, I fear.
>>540395519>because ai sucks?it's already over for you then
>>540396037this post should be included in the games marketing material KEK
>>540396240Maybe I or someone should include it in the Steam page.
>>540319008Nice to see people can still get something good out of this trash heap from time to time.
>>540395895I look like this
>>540393026I have never said shit to ANYBODY but fygoon who deserves it, rotate who deserves it, ronny redpill who deserves it, froggy who deserves it, and crumble who deserves itYou can crab as much as you want i am happy with the success of pogo3D
i love sucking cock, what is the best game engine for someone like me?
>>540390197he's dancing!
>>540396937>froggy who deserves itAm I the only one who actually likes froggy?
>>540397116probably unity so you can unite with your players who happen to be gay as well so you can suck their cock
>>540397116XNA
>>540397116Flash. SDT is still the best cock sucking game.
>>540394905almost every AAA game made in the last 2 years has used AIwe've also moved on from floppy disks, thought you might have missed that as well!
>>540390023Nice Mixamo "Sword and Shield Attack" animation.
am I banned? <.<
>>540397160He mellowed out but he used to grief OPs with his trip on and i have all trips filtered so i would have to click an extra button to find the thread
>>540396937why are you mean to rotate. Try not being an ass
>>540397458People are allowed to use Mixamo's default animations aren't they?
>>540397521>turbozoomer can't check the banned page because he's so new that he doesn't know about it
>it works
How do I grow my twitter following
>>540397691Make an appealing game that people enjoy seeing.
>>540397632I'm 30
https://voca.ro/18phMdCuVcC6This is a song I wrote for a previous game, is it worth revisiting for my new game?
>>540388313Despite being a NEET I constantly have shit to do, besides taking care of two senile silents.I can't put my head to rest to work on my game, it's been a week since I've made any real progress. It fucking sucks.
>>540397691Start reply guying melon tusk bitching about trannies
>>540397458
how do i get good at character design
>>540398075New Game is an awful anime
>>540397591Dude stalked my entire twitter post history to where i said rest in peace to my friend and dev partner, changed his username to my friend’s full name then followed me on twitterThat is not the behavior of a mentally well individual, which would be fine if he did not constantly make me a target of his attention seeking behavior
>>540398048any other excuses, literal neet?
>>540398198How are you doing this?
>>540398508https://aistudio.google.com/
>>540398198>infinite floor manageris this what godot does to your mind?
>>540398198is this underwater
>>540398635yes from realm of the mad god
>>540397458Exactly, it is nice.
>>540398626Spoken like a true tranime faggot.
>>540398204Why
>>54039769140k followers here, not massive but has helped a lot. First, most people tell you to follow trends and shit but that only puts you in the massive sea of people doing the same, you should focus on making stuff that appeals to you and is unique enough that the only place people can get it is your account, if you love what you do and believe in it its easier. After this, the only thing you have to think about is "If I saw this post, would I share it?" most people upload beautiful art and stuff but most of it is like, cool, slide, every post is a pitch and every little detail changes the way people receive it, I had concept art uploaded and put "my fuckass homunculus" or something like that in the desc and people ate it up and focused on the homunculus thing by example, 10k likes. Make posts that are shareable, either by the things happening in footage, the text, etc etc, make a personality for yourself, which could be being funny or being serious or being deranged etc etc we're sadly in times where you have to basically have to be a jester, or what we call socially amicable.Also, a big helpful tool is being part of a community, if you know devs that do similar things to you, interacting with them, joining their communities, talking and showing your shit and relating on the stuff you like could help you making long term contacts that could help you with reposting or even their community synchronising with yours in a way. I made fanart of a guy's game character like 7 years ago and this year I went to their wedding, the world is funny, anyways last thing last thing is that you do need to have a base following cuz in twitter if you don't have any followers no one will retweet you first things first, and being stuck like this can only be escaped via joining communities or you'd be screaming into the void as hashtags don't work at all. also no i wont retweet you
>>540398626It's what AI does to your brain. A human would know you can create a WorldBoundary infinite collision shape and a practically infinite quadmesh with a triplanar material for an actual infinite floor.
i have decided to drop this and make a ck2 ripoff >>540398198
>>540398937Because I watched the whole thing and didn't learn a damn thing about game development.
>>540398926retard
>>540398332Didn't know he was that kind of person. Deserves it
>>540398163just have fun and make stuff you like seeing, also don't fear making weird proportions and learn some basic laws of character design, like certain shapes being aggresive and certain shapes being soft, certain colors fitting well etc etc. knowing these rules can help you break these rules too.
>>540399026>It's what AI does to your brain. A human would know you can create a WorldBoundary infinite collision shape and a practically infinite quadmesh with a triplanar material for an actual infinite floor.>Error: Comment too long (4342/2000).
>>540399035try ck2 but realistic (2d mount&blade)
>Breaks your Mixamo session when importedWhat now, fleshling?
>>540399037A guess baki is shit too
>>540399015Thanks man, I appreciate the advice.
>>540399386Well yeah. 2 seasons and not a single mention of Unity or C#.
>>540399325i'm thinking ck2, with a very basic 3d world actually under the hood of the map that you can walk around as the lord or whatever, i'm not entirely sure yet but once i have the map and regions ect down ill experiment
Huh?
>>540399705Baki is an idea guy
fagoon on suicide watch
Any good AI tools for game coding? like any that make a hivemind with the game's code instead of forgetting as making code with chatgpt sucks cuz it starts forgetting the code it did like 10 messages ago and it starts breaking everything too as the messages have a limit length. I use unity and i am mentally retarded
>>540400168Just learn how to program you fucking retard. Jesus christ we're doomed as a species.
>>540400168https://aistudio.google.com/ - gemini 2.5 pro has 300+ free prompts per day and is SOTAhttps://lmarena.ai/?mode=direct - select claude opus 4.1 16k thinking if gemini can't solve itif you have money though, just use claude code
>>540400168>>540400350to add, chatgpt context limit is like 32k for free users and that's basically retarded, don't use chatgpt unless you are forking over 60 plus USD a month to use it as it currently IS the best, but free users get not even a kiss let alone cum inside
>>540399725yeah i meant 2.5dthis section of the game is actually kinda comfy, imagine if the whole game is just in this view but with more cities and actions/features
>>540398075I like new game I think it's comfy.
My game is a deconstruction of the cozy game genre
>>540400168https://files.catbox.moe/zqwyt9.pythis is a python file, place it above any file structure below, and it will print out everything so you can just copy paste into the AI

>>540400296I tried but it truly feels like arcane runes, and all the files have to recall between themselves and you have to make up the functions and holy shit the maximum shit I could do was code an analog clock and make a menu ui bringing you from one level to another and sliders controlling volume and other tutorial forgettable shit. the moment I had to learn shit like health damage and other things I almost died, i legit thingk i'm too stupid to code
>>540401927Starmer was right. Kids like you really do need to get a loicense to post on the internet for your own safety.
>>540402153Then don't make a game and go do something else you can actually handle.
>they splitted the general
>>540402109Real thread. >>540402053boomer ass unrelated to gamedev meme thread
>>540402705and your post is coming from a zoomer which means it's irrelevant
>>540402928big if true
>>540402109fygoon coded>>540402053cris codedsomeone make a third thread so I can choose from three options in true gamer fashion.
>>540403342You think fygoon made a thread based on the character making fun of him?
>>540403438you think its another person making fun of him?
>>540403880That's why he's been having a meltdown for 3 days. You can see him reply to it in this thread a few times even.

im gonna use a pirated copy of speedtree and nobody can stop me. muahahaha
>>540406823I tried using speedtree and treeit. I had better results just manning up and learning sapling gen in blender properly. Also had better results hand modeling but that was annoying for the amount of detail I wanted
>>540407086shut up nerd, I bet your trees looked like ass
>>540407352I mean, even the generic template ones look good you just have to texture them and everything after.
>>540407790yeah and you have to optimize that giant piece of shit. i'm making a game not a film. we don't all use unreal and want our games to run like hot ass.
>>540395008>I don't understand why you wouldn't just outsource it to india>weeks later>OH MY GOD PLEASE SOMEONE FIX THIS
>>540397397Any examples of AAA successful titles that have used generative AI that are not concord
>>540408058You don't need to optimize it. If you were worried about that you could literally model it yourself in low poly in 2 seconds.
>>540409661>You don't need to optimize it.You're an idiot. Kill yourself retard.
>>540410045Why because I can properly model and make trees and can afford to buy speedtree instead of pirating it like a thirdie?
>>540410415I quoted why you're an idiot, idiot. You clearly don't make games, retard.
>>540411439Post game then
>>540412237That's what I thought.
