Im making a game thats inside a cave, what can i do to make it interesting?
>>540404384i had a dream where the main character gets caught in a pans labyrinth type world, and RUNS from different types of spirits trying to survivepurple branches and roots,look at maximalist morrowind designs and Legend of the dark crystal
>>540404384make the game outside a cave
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.
where to market indie game?

>>540405735
>>540405002>What is the best way and plan to market and release a indie game?Do your market research before you start making the game and identify what games gamers are actually asking for. The answer to all the other questions depend entirely on what kind of game you're making.

happy birthday, marmo sis
Does he really deserve a happy birthday?
>>540405698>he didn't watched the fist 30 seconds of the videobro is saying that focusing on making self-contained, reusable systems reduces development time of future games, and makes pivoting easier

>posting in a fagoon threadshiggy diggy
It still isn't working
>>540406728Those systems all already exist and you can just buy them on the marketplace. Dude is aiming stuff at becoming an asset store whore, not a game dev.

>>540407016I'm getting closer
>>540407187I guess? but when you're talking about 10k in revenue for a hobby project assets start eating into that pretty hard
>>540406721He's a discord moderator for a vtuber who recently got married, so I'd think he deserves at least one happy day.
>>540407326>>540407328oops sorry here it is as a webm. as you can see im having trouble getting it to feel as fluid as the combat in kingdom hearts 358/2 days from the game kingdom hearts 1.5 remix on ps3
>>540407787He is into NTR, so he was fine with it
>>540407609>I don't care what gamers want, I do game what I want.I can't really help you then. Nothing can, except a multimillion unrecoverable marketing budget for paid advertisement. One of the most common mistakes an amateur developer makes is deluding yourself into thinking that you're capable of gaslighting gamers into playing something that they don't already want to play. You can't.
>>540408184retard
>>540407818me top left
>Massive youtube channel visibility>Game is fun>Probably around 100k wishlists>Only 165 reviews 3 days after launch>Gamalytic estimates around 50k gross revenueI mean, it's still a good result and he will probably be able to live off of this game for a while, but it feels it should've achieved much more.What went wrong? Did the 20$ price tag kill all the momentum?
>>540407808Try not using Unreal Engine. That engine is a stutterfest.
>>540407247>>540407808
>>540408245Cope and seethe.
>>540408350stay mad, zoomer
>>540408184>I can't really help you thenWhy?>One of the most common mistakes an amateur developer makes is deluding yourself into thinking that you're capable of gaslighting gamers into playing something that they don't already want to play. You can't.But I like to play my game. It is possible that other people might also like it.Also I checked similar games on the market and some achieved success, some flopped. So there is a market for my game. Not big, but the market exists.
>>540408251>Did the 20$ price tag kill all the momentum?Yes. He could have gotten many more sales at a more appropriate full price of $10I'm surprised he's doing well at all with how overpriced it is.
>>540408184terrible take, you'll never make a good game unless it's something you yourself want to playif you want to play your game chances are other people do tooif you're just following some gay trend and don't even want to play your own game, chances are no one else does either
>>540408660awful take, just shut the fuck up already resident zoomer
>>540408251That game looks fun but $10-15 is the most I'd wanna pay for something like that depending on the length
>>540408839ok good luck with your gardening sim you know how to appeal to early middle aged women for sure. Fucking retard.
>>540408184I'd rather make a flop that I will like, than a successful game that I will hate.
>>540408480I highly doubt you able to look at your own game without heavy bias, especially if you actually spent a decade on a single 2D racer.>some floppedThat's a very bad sign for your chances.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCzhyUsDHPE>>540408660No one said you should make games you yourself don't want to play.>chances You're blindly gambling, when instead you can just do your market research to find a game that you yourself want to play AND many other people are already want to play.
>>540409102>b-but why not both!strawman/copout argument but sure
>>540408660>if you want to play your game chances are other people do tooi dont even want to play my game anymore
>>540409342I think you should go look up what strawman and other logical fallacies actually are before you try to accuse people of them.
Your game will never be successful, but don't let that stop you from trying. Just don't quite your job or anything.
>>540409853>Your game will never be successfulWRONG
>>540409853>Just don't quite your job or anything.uhhh....
>>540409853Job?
>>540409853>Just don't quite your job or anything.I don't have a job.
>>540410017Hehe, I modelled one of those flashbangs once. It was probably my first attempt at a real 3d asset.
>>540409853I'm gonna do an itch playtest, if it garners enough attention I'm quitting my job, move to Bali and live off of my savings for the next 2 years developing my game
>>540409853but indie gamedev IS my job
>>540409853I work for my dad and he lets me dev on the job when I have free time
>>540409824>making a game you want to play is better than making a game you think other people want to play>you're wrong because making a game both you want to play and other people want to play is better!textbook strawman, kill yourself
>>540410391imagine only having a job because your retarded dad gave one to you
AGDG had a ton of promising interesting looking games, but most of them are gone now, never going to be finished.
>>540410658Nothing wrong with having a loving, supportive family anon.
im making my game
>>540410595I think you need to go back to your textbooks.
i am stealing anon's game
>>540410851
Hi! Wow is it almost October already?, What a year, right? What did I miss?
jokes aside i bet at least one person is cloning my game rn
>>540410754>static asset>zero gameplay>promising
>>540410754I stopped posting my game here when fagoon started spamming threads 24/7 flinging shit everywhere. If he ever leaves I'll share progress again.
>>540410784i never said there was, jamal
>>540410189You made this holes with alfa r-right?
>>540411171anon, it was his first model, don't ask too much
>>540411036multiple developmental milestones like teenage love, i bet
>>540411149Yeah you did, when you got upset that anons dad gave them a job. All good jobs come from networking, whether it be family or friends. Only hippies get upset at this and can't understand it.
>mfw I'm about to project hop and my current game started as a project hopdoes the ride ever end?
>>540411248I actually had teenage love though, it was embarrassing at the time
>>540411171I actually don't think I noticed that there was such a gap between the cylinder with the holes and the inside. They were just inset with no gap.if I were to make one again today I would probably still do that, the gap is unnecessary.
>>540411342Yes, but it may not be the ending you were hoping for.
>>540411090No, it had a motorway junction with working car physics and a small town and anime girl driver saying random phrases. He was submitting to demo days years ago. I liked cool old American cars in low poly.
my game is undergoing a problem right now
>>540411309Not "networking" but nepotism. And such people should be kiled.
>>540411474>my game is undergoing a problem right now
>>540411474Oh no. How bad does it look?
>>540411342>does the ride ever end?With suicide.
>>540411473That's a test room to prove a few mechanics. That's not gameplay.
With the sucess of Megabonk I kinda want to try making a survivor incremental game
>>540411473>I liked cool old American cars in low poly.Then play Driver.
>>540411514I knew you were a hippy lmao. Nepotism is perfectly fine for a gigantic portion of jobs out there. If you took a shower once in a while maybe you'd make enough friends to learn that.
>>540408251>one gimmick game sold for 20 buckslollmao
>looking through my old video footage>all this kino I don't even remember makingI should finish a game (I won't)
>>540411759shut the fuck up, hippy
>>540411805oh hey trainwiz, long time no see
>>540411805Gameplay?
>>540411954Pick a genre and I'll show you footage of it
Instead of working on my game I'm gonna make a flashbang again and see if I can speedrun it tonight.
>>540411759Nepotism = incompetent people get positions. And when they do bad things for the company, they are not fired because of friendship or family connections.
Any Argentines ITT? How much money would I need to make to be able to live comfortably in Buenos Aires for a few years? I’m American so I’d be earning American dollars.
war is heck
>>540412218That's just one form of nepotism nigga, and also the rarest form of it. Probably like 70% of the workforce is through nepotism sometimes higher or lower depending on the job type. Like, my team is less than 10 people and 5 of us have a job because of other people putting in the good word for them.Most jobs don't require impressive skills to accomplish. What they do require though, is someone who is competent, works well with others, has good communication skills, etc. Where do you find those people? Oh yeah, through networking and connections. There's a reason being charismatic and attractive is the cheat code to life.
>>540412508This is cute.
Currently at my wage slave office job I got through a family friend
>>540412603nobody read your post, darnell
>>540412603>being charismatic and attractive is the cheat code to life.I hate the demiurge
>>540412041rapelay
>>540412603That's called being normal, not nepotism. You have a mental disability and special needs.
>>540412865...that's literally the definition of nepotism anon.
>>540412701i'm currently doing my remote shift, am in a meeting though and i've been browsing the chans ever since
>>540412953And it's normal
My office just hired the wife of an employee of 15 years.
implementing this wasnt as hard as i thought it would be, pretty much doneif testing turns out fine the game is 99% donenvmd i havent implemented the upgrades to actually work, only buying them brb
>>540411789what does one gimmick game even mean
I run a small business and my wife does the bookkeeping for me part time. I know, I deserve to die and go to hell.
>>540413279What's the bonus for?
I got my job through a friend. In fact, I think most of my friends have jobs through other friends except the real specific ones (like lawyer, chemist).
>>540409102>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCzhyUsDHPEWhat is the point of this?Are you telling me that I shouldn't market my indie game and it will sell anyway? How?
>>540413468you earn more money in harder difficulties -> you can buy more upgrades later
>>540413441>T esl
I work in a big gamedev company and I got my job fair and square
>>540413713>tard doesn't understand rhetorical questions
>>540402113Absolutely horrible advice actually gets me kinda mad what da fug. MAKE A GAME STOP MAKING SYSTEMS, I've been stuck in systems hell for so long. Making systems without a game is like putting in all the effort of making a game without even getting the gratification and satisfaction of having a game. It's how you end up not making anything at all telling yourself "but it's clean, but it's modular, but it's extensible, but it's reusable" but there's no game.
>>540413624The way modern content algorithms work is that games that people want to play will automatically sell themselves via algorithm. If your game is something that actually appeals to people, then you can make a few random posts on a few random platforms and ride the snowball. If not, then you'll struggle regardless of where you post.
>>540409102A common story I think about when considering marketing is Slay the Spire. It launched with no marketing and only made 1000 sales in the first year, before it was picked up by a popular streamer / influencer. After that other streamers picked it up and it rocketed to one of the most popular roguelikes in the genre and launched the deckbuilding subgenre as a recognisable property.
>>540414138that's why you make the simplest type of game known to man: click to move mmorpg
>>540414170>then you can make a few random posts on a few random platforms and ride the snowballThis is not possible. I tried posting something on reddit and I got instantly shadowbanned.What to do after this? Buy reddit accounts with big karma?
>>540407247>>540407808Deja vu...
The only way your game can succeed is if you have a 10/10 song in it that goes viral. Hope you aren't cheaping out on your music person.
>tfw Yanderedev, but without anygames
>>540414253>mmorpg>simple
>>540414417That's a bad sign. Reddit bans ugly shovelware-looking game, but will allow really nice looking games. Try out TikTok, YouTube shorts, and Twitter, but your chances aren't going to be great. Your game needs at least one of magics #1, 2, or 3 to succeed in social media.
>>540414653So.... yanderedev then?
>>540408251wtf I thought you told me to do devlogs and appeal to memebrained zoomers and collect wishlistswtf
>>540413685But if I play at low difficulties I won't need as many upgrades so what's the point of risking it? Maybe you should have a difficulty option instead of making the player choose a difficulty at the beginning of the day.
>>540414798Reddit removes everything I post, doesn't matter what I post.I don't know how to use Twitter, it's too complicated. Also there is very small limit on amount of characters and words that you can post.
>>540414653Yanderedev:1) Created a huge viral sensation2) Made hundreds of thousands of dollars off it (if not millions) through patreon and merchandise3) Had cosplayers at anime events showing off their titties to him4) Was THE indie gamedev for like 5 yearsHis biggest mistake was not cutting scope and releasing it once the backlash started. He just took too long.
a game where you have anal sex with little girls
>>540408251>Price: $19.99>Average playtime: 2.9hYeah. It's too expensive for the short playtime. You need to be really autistic to want to grind and replay it.
>>540415168Reddit is actually the least-friendly to new posters website on the internet. There is a whole pipeline you need to follow in order to be able to post ANYWHERE and not just be shadowbanned. There are unironically intro subs where you can start to build up little bits of karma so that you can post on the real ones. Not that I'm complaining but it's like the website wants to die.
>>540414653The only way out is to make a game!
>>540415389Honestly though it helps sometimes with the bullshit. If we had the same thing here we'd be rid of people like fagoon instantly.

>>540406721Seeing Marmoreal mentioned I felt like rewatching the first trailer, because I really enjoyed the energetic music and the editing, but he understandably privated older trailers, so I couldn't find them on the YT page. So I went to my likes and scoured the list looking for the trailer and by pure chance Marmo's 1st trailer is on the list right next to 3 bizarre schizo Touhou animations I've been looking for 4 years, but forgot I had them in likes.These Touhou animations are very unsettling music videos to some melancholic French songs. They look like they're made by someone who's really concerned with sex, death, decay and rebirth, but also very autistic about Touhou lore and Zun artstyle. They're telling the stories of Murasa and Yuyuko, how they died and became ghosts. There's weird sexual subtext and it's making me uncomfortable. They're kinda gross, I feel they'll haunt me when I'll try going to sleep tonight. There's also animation about Koishi, but it's just weird.So happy birthday Marmo and thank you for helping me find these animations.
Pearls before swine, why do I even bother anymore.

Every night, I struggle to sleep. I just rolled in half-asleep coma state in my bed for 2 hours, gave up and went back to the PC. Whatever. Existence is torture, sleep provides temporary salvation that also fixes my anxious state which gamedev causes, but no, not allowed to sleep I guess.
>>540414138You’re supposed to make systems as part of a game buddy
>>540414138I build systems and a game magically emerges from them. That's just how it is.
My game has 1000 "systems" already, and... guess what? It isn't a good idea! It's impossible to explain how every little input and output works to the players!
>>540424437this is why the sweet spot is the point at which dev simplicity crosses with lots of fun on a chart or graph or whatever the fuck
>>540424060Dream yoga
One of the worst parts of modern gamedev is that most people only pick certain tools for validation and success by proxy and not because the tool actually suits their needs and their skill level. I wonder how many people only picked up engines like Unreal and Unity because one game they really liked was made using it.

>>540421462One day I too will be a multimillionaire game developer with hot fangirls who want to fuck me, only I won't make the mistake Eric did and be in a committed relationship.
A youtuber right now could bless me with generational wealth by making a 10 minute video of my game, but none will because they're all demons.
I don't have a ton to show, I took a week off, and have been mostly fixing bugs and making small tweaks from DD feedback. Notable here is the roll indicator now shows yellow numbers for bets you will Win AND lose on. I think this tool helped a lot with clarify, and I don't want to bog it down with any more stuff.Other then that, I've expanded a lot of the systems to use all bets. Like the upgrade shop, which you can now re-roll.Not sure what's coming next. I need to improve the out of game progression, I'm just not sure how. I kind of want something slay the spire coded, butttt that is a decent chunk of work.

>>540426642>Attractive people>On agdgHAHAHA
>>540427350im attractive
>>540427350yes, ugly anon. there's a few of us here. i've posted regarding my expeditions plenty of times. i'm treated like a king. as i type this i'm in a remote work meeting and i'm getting pinkknighted because my camera is on. i expect this everywhere i go, friend. it's crazy, isn't it? i'm the opposite of your experience which is being invisible. so yeah, if i were to post myself on my store page or wherever in my game? i get instant lifetime fans and followers just based off my looks
>>540427350
Don't change the channel
>>540427095Many are actually making a shitton of money when compared to basic white collar faggots. ~200k subs gives you like approx $4000 a month if they are legit subs who follow you actively.
I'm ugly and it made me a good person and I don't even like women or normies so it does not bother me I consider it a blessing.
>>540427350I'm at least a 6/10 I think.
>>540427918200k subs is easily top 1% for gaming channels.
>>540426798>anon finally makes it>meets a girl cosplaying his character >tries hitting on her, touching her>she's not interested, just liked the game>she posts on reddit about how weird and creepy the dev was>anon keeps doing this, they post about it>anon gets known as creepy rapedev, career over
>>540428189>t. sour grapes>>540428272If you're not at least 8/10, you might as well be invisible.
>>540428292I've seen few channels go past 100k and then 200k to 300k and beyond and they were nothing special as channels. The algorithm just blessed them, for some reason.
>>540428526Lol, not sour at all, I've accepted my fate a long time ago and I'm perfectly content with it. I can't really miss something I never had, can't I? You're just a normie so you can't comprehend it.
>>540428536That's because they're making good content that people actually want to watch. What they're not doing is making bad content out of games that no one wants to watch.
>>540428328>a girl puts in the effort to create a costume and dress up as your personal creation (which, if you're a good character designer, should be at least the slightest bit erotic) and makes the effort to come and meet you in person to show it off>but she doesn't want to fuck you bro come on be realisticChrist. Why are modern men such massive pussies? Microplastics? Porn? Fluoride in the water?Are all of you scared to look a woman in the eyes or something? You're creating these scenarios in your imagination to justify not trying to talk to women, it's pathetically obvious.

>>540428842No the thing is I don't have this problem because I don't need to "make it" to meet womenSomeone thinking if they make it they'll finally get a woman to fuck them is a sure sign they're a virgin, because we all know those minecraft cosplayers want to fuck Notch
>>540429026Things bothered me in my 20's, I grew out of it, nowadays I'm content and I enjoy a quiet simple life with no excess dopamine except for gamedev, what can I say huh? I also take long walks in nature and make a campfire to fry sausages and pancakes, to relax.>>540429268I'm not even _that_ ugly, but I have my imperfections which make my face not that desirable. I chose to let go because I realized I don't even want a normal life, I couldn't live with a woman even if I tried and I certainly don't want ugly kids and I don't want to gamble and wait if my kids turn out ugly or not. I don't want to curse them with this shit because humans are shallow creatures in the end because that's how evolution worked for us for a long time.
>>540428526I looked up this incel looks rating chart and I think I'm solidly within the realm of the 6s. I checked off every guy 4 and up who I think I'm more attractive than. That's not too bad compared to my competition.
>>540429704the entire 8 tier is painful to look at and pretty sure there's a supermodel in 6, wtf is this list
>>540429704The ones that you left unchecked are more than enough to impregnate every woman you will ever come into contact with.
>anon immediately starts dumping his incel demoralization folder
>>540402425I the early seasons be was a bitter vindictive loser. Later on he ended up doing better in life because he consciously decided to make better decisions. So he'd have posted here as a nodev crab ritualposting bocci avatarfag for a few years and then eventually left as his life turned around
So we're just overtly incel posting now?How about you try focusmaxxing, and game-devmaxxing and actually work on your game. Then maybe you'll get some bitches on your dick.
I only lurk and post while my game is compiling.

>>540429704This type of thing reminds me of foids who say they have a great personality, an education, a house and career and hobbies and unfortunately a "personality" which means she has the standard retarded opinions that most professional libshit urban women have. She then sits there wondering where all the good men are, neglecting to realise that they don't want to be with her because she's fat. She used her own paradigm of attractiveness for men and mistakenly applied it to herself, trying to become what she wants her man to be for her while neglecting what men actually want, which is just for her to just not be fat and maybe not have so many retarded opinions. Likewise men who engage in lookism mistakenly apply their own paradigm of attractiveness to themselves. They will spend years in the gym turning into a roid tranny while mewing their face into looking like a squirrel gathering nuts for winter. All the while they're still an a social friendless jobless loser too afraid to talk to girls.Also making a game won't make a girl like you.
erm...gamedev?

Should we split agdg into /agdcg/ - amateur game dev culture general and /agdtg/ - amateur game dev tech general?
We should divert back to #agdg and leave the schizo trannies here.

>>540433335That's where all the actual devs are.
https://streamable.com/sr872z
Slowly but surely, parts of my game are joining the separate statically linkable lib project I created just to unit test stuff more easily. Just have to be careful to not attempt generalizing code too much, I have a feeling that might be an insidious time sink.
Why do we always have a nonstop march of schizos now
>>540401980What bonus should give stone walls (upgrade from default wooden walls) in the hub location for all characters/whole clan in Action RPG/Roguelite?I want to make stone walls upgrade, but need an excuse for them being useful.I might do it in the simple way, like one of buildings would demand stronger walls so dudes in that house would feel safer (Bank/Bureau)But I thinks it is better to make some bonuses so it would be worth, not forced.Also, there won't be any siege mechanics, so "wall defense stuff +5" won't work either.

Finally got my AI to development, after it killed someone of course ..Anyway my human devs arepooo still
>>540430458When I first found /agdg/, I was anti-crab, but after having spent enough time here, I've come to realize that crabbing is the morally correct path. Most posters here are NGMI losers and should be treated as such. You've never had sex. You didn't finish college. You've never had a job. You've deluded yourself that making video games will somehow turn your life around. Maybe that would be true if you were making a real game, but you're also not doing that. You're making a pale imitation of one. You half-ass all the things you shouldn't half-ass and hyper-fixate on all the things that don't matter. You waste years making minor tweaks and patches to a dead-on-arrival beginner-tier project so that you can continue to roleplay as a productive member of society.You dismiss any criticism as crabbing, but you're not even a crab capable of climbing. You're one of the turtles still hiding in his own shell and you're upset at the crabs who step over you to get out.
>>540433992Every real dev left for the discord

>>540426084you might be a multimillionaire but you might still have problems to have a female fanbase. Is Cawthorn drowning in groupie? Is Lucas Pope? Notch? You need to produce a game for a female audience, and cozy farming games are already overdone. You need to find a better idea, like cozy unpacking or cozy cooking, or cozy cat shelter.
really happy with this now.:D
>>540426198Nice. No idea how to play casino table games (too Joof to even think about betting my money) but the quality is nice.

Still mulling over which first person camera style to use. Still leaning towards the camera-in-head style. The main downside I've found is that it means that your third person animations need to be pristine, and I don't consider that an actual downside. Your third person animations should be pristine so that you don't end up with Dead Island.

>>540437782thanks manI finished making the gathering systems but im not sure what to do next, maybe will start on inventory and skill progression systems
>>540410754Name them
I've checked 3 agdg threads so far and have only seen e-drama, shitposts, and the rare few progress posts buried deep under several text only posts. Did most of you just quit working on games? Even the "babby's first dev screenshot" posts have become a rarity.
>>540433927i've watched this dozens of times on loop now, it's quite mesmerizing
>>540438525no you have no soul, nobody likes them, they're a waste of time, they're boring, add nothing of value to the game.
>>540435382Why is this a .gif?
>>540438867honest question, do you prefer "idle" gathering like Runescape where you just click once and watch your character for 20 seconds? What do you prefer?
>>540438719Same, it's so good.
>>540438867I think they’re fun :D

>>540433927How is the shitpost better than the original?
ah right the enemy needs MP to use abilities *smack head*
>>540439023let me tell you this way - fishing is work. To me fishing is like mowing a lawn or putting up a groceries on a shelf. I know some people like it, just like people like that game about powerwashing or digging a hole. What's more, there's disproportionate amount of fishing minigames in games in general, mainly japanese. I guess it's a wet dream for salarymen, that's why Yakuza games, Dark Cloud or lately even Sonic have it. I maybe could accept them when they were a novelty, but now they're overdone. They're so overdone even Ubisoft added fishing to Far Cry games.

>>540440431see you tomorrow
>>540440431You do not need to announce your departure.
>>540439835Ya I can agree that its an overdone trope, but it sounds like you don't actually have an issue with the minigame-aspect, just fishing itself.
>>540437129>the game is like Cave Story + Runescapethose 2 genres don't mixaction gameplay is antithetical to roleplaying
i will never ever buy an /agdg/ game
>>540440202No I started this project 2 years ago and stopped working on it until last week>>540441087Ya, I mean I based the artstyle on Cavestory. I'm not sure what the most marketable term is for it yet
>>540441087>action gameplay is antithetical to roleplayingYou obviously never played Krovavoye Znameniye: Naslediye Kaina.
>>540440776the thing with minigames is they're as fun as the minigameyour minigame looks extremely unoriginal and unfun, in this case yeah runescape style would be better.
>>540441491Do you know about IdleOn?
>>540440314so you two were dating? makes sense

>>540442929Any recommendations?I liked huckleberry finn and the first lotr (kind of lost interest they split the party). I've been thinking about Blood Meridian
>>540438643We’re all still working, but it’s become too dangerous to post progress in the threads
>>540443217Ever read The Neverending Story by Michael Ende?
>>540443441>dangerousNobody is running after you with a knife. The worst these morons can do is show your mug to other fat, ugly losers. So what?
>>540443217Read The Road first and then Blood Meridian.
>>540442929reading books is literally retarded behavior and you should be ashamed of yourself
>>540437129what a fucking piece of shit game
>>540443570They can do worse. For example, they can damage your dev reputation and cost you sales, which is exactly what they did when someone posted a link to my Steam store page here.
>>540444143you're bound to fail considering how overly paranoid you are, absolute goof
>>540442101so fygoon was stalking grassfag and thought they were dating??
>>540443217If you like sci fi check out Asimov’s Foundation series. It’s only 3 books and they’re easy reads but very entertaining. I’m on book 2 right now hence why it isn’t pictured. These books inspired Frank Herbert a lot, it’s extremely obvious if you’re even the slightest bit familiar with the plot of the Dune series.
>>540435609Thanks bro. I saw your sword spin clip, it looked sick too
>>540445023>sick
I couldn't get a storage system working so I made it so you have unlimited inventory but can only bring a limited amount into combat
>>540445023>a game about samefagging
>>540444312Success depends only on the quality of the product. It doesn't matter at all whether or not the dev is paranoid (he isn't, he just made a bad game).
A game where you are the game.
>>540446731The implication is that a paranoid dev is incapable of making a quality product.
>>540446731that's what you'd like to think. but when there's a retard leading the development and business sides of your game like yourself, when bertha falls off her computer chair while playing your game because of a big flash on screen, you lose everything you earned from the game and the rest of your life because you didn't do anything properly because you're too much of a paranoid retard to even show up in court to help defend your case. you're a weak piece of shit due to your paranoia, it isn't the other way around which you'd like to think is the case

Time for another major refactor.
>>540459320i look like this
I've post it this in the wrong general, apologies for the copy-paste.So, I want to get into game development.Current skills:Pro 2D artist, pro music composer, sound designer, pro mixing and mastering engineer, basic C# knowledege.So, I have my dream game right? With all this characters, music, aesthethics, plot all pretty much figured it out. I want that game to be 3D and I've realized that the scope is too big (as usual). So I got a lot of advice saying "just do a smaller game, start with 2D".Everytime I try to do something that is not what I truly want to create, I lose all my drive and willingness to work on it. Doing it just for the money is not appealing to me at all.So, my question is, should I do what I truly want deep in my soul even tho the game is too big? (it's not an MMO nor the next GTA, but I think the scope is still very big) or should I suck it up and do something that is not exactly what I want to do but is faster and easier? I hear you.

>>540461842ecs trannies don't make gamesoop chads do
No mongol progress posts. I hope he's ok
>>540461712Well, the idea was to use the blueprint system and to gradually learn code in the midst of taking on a stupidly ambitious project. But now the ability to make that initial forward progress to get a foothold whereby I maintain interest is basically gone. There is no fucking point to using the Unreal Engine anymore, because the entire point was the ease and the documentation.>>540461308The tutorials are the meaningful documentation. The official documentation doesn't show you what certain avenues look like, and that's the important thing that stops you from scratching your ass and starts you on actually building something.

>>540462162He didn't stop posting. He stopped making progress.
>>540460259Posted this in the other thread but just go for the dream game but ideally try to strip it down into the smallest you can possibly make it but where you still want to make it. Just shoot for building a small demo of it like a single level or area where you can test most of the gameplay. That'll give you an idea of what its like to make it and whether or not you want to go for making the rest of it
>>540462038I need to bitch a little bit. Epic keeps putting out all these fucking starter projects, and all the code in those is deliberately half-assed. And all the features are deliberately half-assed and seem designed to create jobs because you need at least a single person trained and dedicated to that one stupid fucking meme feature.Everything made using MetaHuman and Motion Matching looks like absolute shit. Including Kojima's new meme project. Fucking pretentious asshole should go get eaten by an escalator.
>>540462021>I hope he's okThanks fren. I appreciate your concern. Got only 1 hour of work this morning. Yesterday the company I work for threw a party and I ate like a pig and a glutton, because free food and stuff. So couldn't work.Re-added 1 out of 3 cutscenes. Working on the game trailer. Fixing bugs, in the 3D scenes.Mirror causing troubles in a scene. Units not spawning in another.But what I will try adding tonight, if not, tomorrow is the "first person" controller where you can tilt your camera in any angle you want, like in the "Dark future of Agrippa" build.
>>540462332Thanks for the response. I think I will try that. Good luck with your own thing brother.
>>540462508Nice :). Good luck implementing the controller, fren.
>>540461252Get used to it.My biggest complaint in all of development (not games so much, it just also does apply there) is that faster iteration and the idea of SASS has made it such that becoming an expert on something is borderline impossible because the companies keep changing it out from under you, and are actively incentivized by the business side people to do so. Some will remember pre-8th console gen you saw how much dev houses improved across the span of a console generation and how much better they got with their tools and the hardware. That doesn't, and for the most part can't happen anymore because nobody understands what they're doing (hyperbole but MOST people don't, and the talent that does are few and far between, and also expensive). And the bigger problem is that because of the level of complexity in today's systems (in games, but all dev) working your way through it to become an expert is nearly impossible unless you've been keeping up with it for a long time already, and the pace it's getting worse is only accelerating. There was a period where the abstraction and ease of use of the tools WAS definitely a benefit, but that was like 10 or 15 years ago.Unironically if Epic had left UE4 on it's first major release version and only fixed bugs, games would currently be running at least 3x better and look indistinguishable from how they do now if not better.

>>540462772this >>540464587Just use UE4
>>540464595some shitty game for furfags
>>540465070Okay. So, based on my limited understanding, delta time is an absolute metric of time that is handled in seconds rather than frames. So, you can use delta time for your ticks rather than frames. Or something. I don't know.
>>540465070Why are you even asking such stupid questions? You clearly have no intention to ever make video games. Stop scrolling social media, follow any beginner tutorial in any major engine, and you will learn the answer.

>>540465748You're less than a beginner. You haven't even started.
How is Godot 4.5?Downloading it right now.
>>540465694they did lol about 1200 people in 2023. thats how 5.4 happened and it was the most dogshit buggy release ever. The arena shooter samples hasnt been updated at all.sad fact is unreal doesnt give a shit about you solos, indies or casuals.Unreal is useless for anything larger than a small game without access to udn and you wont have access unless you're a big boy studio.too many issues are not documented and fixes wont be provided.Epic is perfectly happy getting money from the likes of CDPR or microsoft. indies give them nothing.
>>540465991Fine.
>>540466130And now the entire world is saying that Unreal Engine is a grotesque piece of shit that is actively killing the entire industry.It's fine. All the AAA companies can just hire Sangdeep and Randeb based on their lying CV and then go out of business because the truth is that there's nobody left on Earth who understands the damn engine. And then Epic will get no money.
>>540466130>>540466384just don't use it then?

>>540466384something something cycle of enshittification. Unreal is in the exploit-before-downfall stage.its had some good ideas but its core ideology introduced in ue5 is to "make development braindead". Dumb fucking idea. You pander to braindead devs. you get braindead devs.NaNITe is INFiniTE DeTAiL NevER WorRy AbOUT mEMorY AgAIN. LUmEN MgaLighTs!!! just put lights models wherever you want goy, fuck optimization.Guess what? the devs at the AAA all bought that and believed it. Now everyones forced to stfu and "get with the times" or you wont have a job anymore if you dont use the slop generation software.The good engineers realize there arent any interesting work to be done in the games industry anymore and they've all moved on

>>540467580You know how they do those tests on animals, if they recognize their reflection in the mirror, they have some degree of sentience? In the future a similar test will be for people, if they recognize that the ChatBot they're speaking with is just glazing them, they will be considered more sentient than the average person.
Most of my game objects in Godot are "Object" types. Meaning they're not nodes. They're not even reference counted.

I think I might've used a stupid pattern in C for allocating and initializing structs. I have a whatever_new function that returns pointer to malloc'd struct, well I think I should have whatever_init and just pass an already allocated empty struct to it instead. This way I can free my constructors and modules in general from the burden of deciding whether they should be responsible of freeing some memory or not. I think it may be better to leave that responsibility for the caller, the caller may decide then if they malloc or if they create the struct on the stack. Damn I've been dumb all this time.

>>540472102>>540471316"good games always sell" faggot in shambles
>>540471358Yes, now that I tested it I see this is way better than having one "constructor" like in OOP that allocates memory for you. This way it's clear what _init does, it only initializes the properties of the object + it does memory allocations within the object but not for the object itself. This way I could init this object on the stack, pass it to _init and get initialized data on stack which I could then copy to, say, an array of contiguous memory.
You've devved hard this week, anon. Maybe treat yourself to a beer today. Or not.
>>540473308>get initialized data on stack which I could then copy to, say, an array of contiguous memoryLike this, this works fine now because the _init function supports all kinds of patterns. array_push simply copies the data at &polygon to its array of contiguous char* data, which can also be free'd all at once.
>>540473528I didn't. I devved ~4 hours this week. I keep letting everyone down.

You literally cannot rephrase Sindhu's post without losing nuance. He's clearly morally conflicted about promoting something he doesn't consider entirely healthy but that he knows is something many people manage to enjoy in moderation. It's extremely refreshing to see someone do that instead of trying to maximize the profits by telling addicts to buy from him to get shitfaced.
hugboxing delusional schizo freaks is a bad thing that will ruin their livesbut when i try to provide analytically-derived constructive feedback on how developers can increase their odds of achieving financial success from game development, based on advice pertaining to designing the premise of your game to appeal to basal human desires, optimizing workflows and preventing scope creep to keep development time short while also ensuring the genre and interaction systems ensure players will enjoy the game, and creating historically-verified plans for promotional campaigns to ensure your game gets as much effective promotion as possible, suddenly i'm the bad guy, the soulless jewly-spirited corporate degenerate who only cares about destroying the gaming industry for short-sighted profitsi disagree with thisi think it's better for a talented young mind to invest his efforts into learning practical business procedures, so he can make money while developing games he still has passion for, instead of wasting the prime years of his life in terms of energy, health, and cognition, fiddling around with meaningless minute details of a passion project that he naively hopes will make him rich, when the most likely outcome is for it to painfully flop on steam, leaving him with zero revenue generated for the last 8 years of his life's work, putting him in his late 20s with no prospects, education, or alternative routes, and mounting financial pressure, and psychological dread from feeling like an unappreciated failureyeah i'm the bad guy for trying to devise reasonable routes to profitability so that young talented minds can avoid the pitfall of delusion and waste their livescome on mantake this shit seriouslyyou can have fun after you get richdo the real work firstestablish a foundation for yourself to rest upon before you commit yourself to indulging in the creative whimsies your mind conjuresdon't live like a fool just to suffer regret beyond measure when reality hits

>>540476280this likely doesn't apply to you, you're not a NEET gambling on your spergslop making you rich, are you?i'm not in this solely for money, but i do care enough about fellow developers to advise them to avoid this delusional line of thinkingbe honest, how many indies do you think are delusional NEETs hoping their game will make them rich, when in reality, all they're doing is wasting time they could be spending learning a real skill, or working a real job?i understand why passion for money is seen as evil in an artistic field, but i think warning developers to avoid wasting their lives chasing delusions is of higher importance

I wish I had progress to post but instead I'm only making progress behind the scenes code-wise so I still have the same gameplay I had a month ago. Which is boring, I wonder when I can actually turn this into a game, instead of endlessly refactoring my existing code. Anyways, I'm currently in the progress of turning pretty much everything dynamic, meaning I will have much easier time working on the level editor tools once I'm done because then a single module will be responsible for the management of all dynamic arrays.>>540476702This looks very smooth, I like the particle effects and the weapon trails.
>>540476878I agree. But I would at least give the advice the time of day if it was coming from someone whos actually made it. Even then, maybe not because it could've been blind luck.

I was so scared when I found out Brew Barons was using generated voice acting by an AI... As a voice actor myself, my dream of getting into game creation has been shattered, why do indie devs do this?

They have developer friends and usually do other stuff like sound design too. Unfortunately, they WILL mog you at karaoke night. They usually handle several in a cast of characters and let me tell you, they're also the ones who have girlfriends/wives.I'm sorry to say this but their standard of living is above every other dev type.If they were actually able to code and make their own game they could make something that hinges heavily on voice acting such as Darkest Dungeon or Stanley Parable, two of the most well-renouned games that don't exhibit amazing gameplay but the voice acting narrative sells the game on its own.

A common complaint I've seen about incremental games is the game becoming grindy near the end, with upgrades taking longer. Even if the rate of resource acquisition increases, if the rate of upgrade events is reduced, players get upset. Other than that, people have very low standards for these sorts of games. Meaningful and frequent upgrades, an immersive narrative, and good polish/juice, are all you seem to need.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3228180/Click_Mage/Check this game out to see how "simple" a successful incremental game can be.

There were mostly repeating rooms but some quests were pointing you to correct square that could have a hidden item or a secret passage. I hope mongoldev can utilize it in a similiar way and maybe add secret rooms

If you don't like AI voice acting in my game, you're free to lend your voice for my game and voice some lines in it. All you need to do is just record some stuff and I'll do the rest?What's that? You don't want to? Well then AI it is then.
everybody loves openGL, but every single game was made in DirectXwhy?
Can you use real world racing tracks, for example F1 tracks?Can you use their design? Can you use their name?If not, what if you slightly modify the design?
>>540490420Most of my greatest inspirations are from outside of gaming/game development
>>540490962why even need the excuse, just use AI anyway and make luddites seeth
Is AI cool now?
>>540491232how's that possible? My biggest inspirations are other games, its all I know
>>540491539>My biggest inspirations are other games>its all I knowYou answered your own question
>>540491510Did you make these recently?Because they look the exact same as another guy who also used AI for portraits like 2 years ago.
>>540491727I am that guy. Feels good to know I was 2 years early. Too bad this model is dead and gone and I can't get similar results anymore.

Can I get in trouble for stealing color palettes from other games sprites? Like consider this Link sprite, I was thinking of using the exact same skin tone and hair colors for my archer sprite.

Notch says if you dont create your own game engine you're not a real dev
>>540493081Here's a quick example of what I have in mind.
>>540495409>let me pull the ladder up

>>540495409Well Notch is a retard. Directors don't design their own camera.
>>540495539you cant use that model in a game
>>540495409I'll take any chance to post this.

I did some quick calculations and came up with that my game might require up to 35hours of voice acting in total. not sure if that will ever happen that is a hell of a lot of talking into a microphone but I suppose I could probably do it over a month if a spent a few hours a day, anyway, point is I've done some calcs on how much filesize this will take up. Led me to look into something other than vorbis, I found codec2, opus, amr-nb/amr-wb and something called G.718(B), and also xhe-AAC. From what I can see, xhe-AAC is the best. but it seems complicated to be able to use it at runtime, and Opus is bad below 32kbps, and SHIT below 24kbps. and AMR-NB and G.718 are the best below 24kbps, and codec2 is only good for speaking voice, not very much for sfx, expressions, sighs, or music. So I've been trying to build opus, from source, on windows, on the commandline, as part of my build process. Very much painful, it is all inter-dependant. Vorbis is literally just vorbis+ogg. opus is ogg+opus+opusfile+libopusenc+opus-tools to get an actual encoder... and opusfile doesn't build on windows unless you use cygwin or msys2 because it uses pkg-config.... fuck these guys. I thought I'll just stick with vorbis. But then no, I'll see it through, I will replace their build system with my own, just a simple cc *.c how hard can it be???? FF 3hours and it is working. Now I just have to learn how to make godot load a custom filetype. Also G.718 is super cool by the sounds of it, the files are in 5 "layers" like prog jpg>>540492918>>540493081The first wood tiles is better I think, but you're book graphics I don't really like esp the green one, I can't see the binder from the black background. And I suggest to increase the margin on your top buttons because the text touching the dark button edges. maybe if the books had a slightly 3d look where you saw a bit of the thickness of the pages layers on the bottom (like it were tilted back a bit, think windows file icons) just a suggestion
I want to make games, but I do feel like I also want to give up because of burn out.
>>540489645the technical work was harder but the creative work was easieroverall, significantly more brainpower, since the programming required was a bit of a nightmare back then
>>540495675why not
>>540495558you can't read these letters?
>>540496117now you can
>>540495925good work grass dude keep us posted
replaced some graphics>>540408251The only reason you would put something at 20+ is if the game has 20+ hours. But I've also seen games with sub 3 hour playtimes succeed at 20 dollars. Swordship was 20 dollars for a 1 hour experience and it got 175 reviews.
I remember when minecraft came out, and people raged like >THIS IS THE NEW GARRYS MODI played it, in the browser, it was cool I guess, fun little gamebut why it got its massive success? I don't know, maybe I dont understand video games?
>>540496032what's wrong about using default .mp3s to store speech and audio?
>>540496820the way the game is set up makes it really effective for youtubers trying to tell a story with their gameplayas a result, it got really popular off them, which meant it also had a really dedicated modding community that keeps it alive (it sure isnt microsoft doing that)
>>540403017>a competition where the fattest guy wins>American doesn't BTFO everyoneWe're not even a real country anymore
>>540497093so basically any sandbox game can be succesful I guess? youtube piggies love that shit>see game about digging a hole>or happy wheels
>>540464071>he doesn't know
>>540495609but making a game is not exactly like making a movie, so your comparison is invalid.
>>540497494actually it is, you have cameras in your game dont you/

Even godaughters are better than enginetrannies
>>540497757enginedeving is autism in its purest form BUT sometimes it can work if the dev is skilled enough
>>540496032>continuing about G.718So, if I am imagining it right, you should in theory be able to store those layers to different parts of the file or even different files and recombine the layers in the frames at runtime to decode, which means you could ship with a LQVox.zip file filled with 12kbps audio, and then while it is playing it could download a MQVox.zip which contains corresponding layers that when loaded boost it to 32kbps audio, without wasting space by having 2 copies. But only minor problem is that I feel like opus directly at 32kbps sounds better than G.718 at 32kbps so there might not be any point. But then I've found that there is a video codec called VVC that can do the same thing for video. But there's no need to go to that so far it seems like everything will be under 1gb total anyway so who cares Still an interesting idea though, so in godot by default all textures import as VRAM compressed, which is big filesize like 1/4 or so of the raw uncompressed space, but it should be possible to change the import type to "Image" and then export .jpg to decode into ImageTexture at runtime. So I'm going to test that next I think, and then find out if godot can decode progressive .jpgs. Using this vorbis encoder https://ao-yumi.github.io/aotuv_web/index.html to set all audio assets to vorbis q -2 is easy, but when all your .png and .jpg turn into VRAM compressed it makes a 40kb jpg a 600kb .stx which is pretty ordinary>>540490962should make a website that you can record on the mic and trim it and submit a vox clip. can probably make that using unity web player or godot web build, and some C# webdav html build compatible library or something
You guys ever meet up with other people to dev in person?
>>540497757>nodev hating yesdevs out of jealousymany such cases
I just used .ogg files to store all my audio. Muzak, voice acting, SFX - all of it.
Have you guys tried the engine Godot (rhymes with robot)
can you do animation with scripts instead of blender?

It's friday evening, I feel empty inside, a void deep inside, the only thing that keeps me sane is distracting myself by developing my game...
>>540495759If I were a millionaire, I'd do the same thing really. Life is too short to make games.Look at this, out of the top 9 AGDG games, only ONE developer (green) has released a second game after their success (funnily enough both games belong to him).Every other developer (marked in red) has NOT released any other game after getting money.
gem or coal?
>>540499112nary a molecule of soul can be spotted within this page
>>540499239Why would you make another game after making millions? Money in gamedev is extremely volatile, and gaymers are subhuman pigs who don't deserve good things.

>>540495438That doesn't look bad, maybe I'll try it out, but the letter tiles change color when you apply effects to them, that adds more stuff to manage if the brown doesn't look good with all colors.>>540496032I'll see what I can do with the buttons, but real estate is limited on my UI. I'll talk to my artist about adding book thickness, that shouldn't be too hard.>>540493463Yeah I'm leaning towards the first option and so is my artist
