I've been trying to get inventory and loot to work for what feels like forever. Every time I think I fixed something I have a new bug. Eugh
>>540402081How long did it take you to learn blender well enough to make fun of other anons? I've been wanting to learn it but I'm scared i'll be a disappointment :3
>>540402865I'm pretty sure if you finish the donut tutorial you'd immediately be a better modeler than fygoon
we're here >>540401980
>>540402547Inventory is easy, you must be retarded.
>>540403826No we're not cris
>>540403217but will you have his SOVL? thought so
>>540402865Blender is pretty easy for straightforward for simple things. It only get difficult if you want to do complicated things like characters with retopoing and shit.
>>540405286Oh god, could you imagine having that autistic ridden disgusting mutt soul? I'd off myself and save this world.
>>540401980
What engine should I use if I want to make a simple 2D adventure game like zelda?
>>540405896Defold if you're a chuddieGodot if you're transUnity if you're a vibe coder (not releasing)Love2d/gamemaker if you want to actually finish the game
>>540405739Hi fagoon
>>540405896Godot is the obvious choice for 2D. Anyone disagreeing is probably a nodev.
>>540402081Based OP
>>540405896beby!!!
>>540405896You don't need an engine for a 2D game lmfao
>>540407112Never even heard of this, will look into it
using an engine for a 2D game is embarrassing desu
>>540407112rust is kaka
>>540407521No it's not :(
>>540407876Rust is for trannies who can't stand being normal and using C++
>>540408147both are for tranniesuse C
>>540407876only nocoders say that
>>540408230grandpa...
>>540408230C is just C++ with less features
>>540402547Inventory is easy, just copy how bethesda does it
>>540408147>nocoders on /g/: haha rust is for trannies and zoomers, real old masters use C++ like gigachads!>actual C++ programmers: please get me out of this godforsaken hellhole, im switching to rust immediately
>>540409271Weird, I'm an actual C++ programmer and I have no intention of ever switching to rust or using it.
>>540409510have you considered that you might be a nocoder
>>540408970How does bethesda do it?
>>540409271>>540409510>switchingsounds pretty trans coded
I'm gonna get a bunch of work done on my game today. I can feel it.
Why do these threads always dive into bickering nonsense? Can't we just talk about gamedevin?
>>540402081>told myself i would have something ready for octoberI failed again...
>>540411501There's still time anon, october isn't for like a week.
>>540408297i will try it again when i have some free time but i always felt like i was writing disgusting code and bevy's freeform approach doesnt helpi just dont think think a language like rust with the borrow checker is really fit for gamedev, im waiting for jai (retarded name btw)
>>540401980>>540401980>>540401980
>>540413173Why would I want to go to a thread where people are just bitching about nepotism and not discussing game dev at all?
>>540409271I work with C++ for our game engine and I'm not switching to Rust, no matter how much you beg and plead and cry. I'm not sorry, either. It's not my fault, nor problem, that you struggle with memory management so much that you would rather do it in `unsafe { } `>>540409510Hello. I am using C++20 and pissed off that C++26 isn't done and probably won't be for another 250 years. How are you doing?>>540409581To be honest, I prefer Ziggers over Rustlets. At least Ziggers know their place.
>>540413296I'm doing good. Why are you not using c++23 and waiting for C++26?
>>540413756>Why are you not using c++23 and waiting for C++26?It was a 3 month argument for C++20 and there are things that must be done. I intend for us to switchin to C++23 soon, but it will take a bit more time. I think I have them won over, though. The big issue is really compiler/platform support. What features are you appreciating in C++23?
>>540402547It shouldn't be that hard to set up arrays anon
>>540413296>struggle with memory management so much that you would rather do it in `unsafe { } `ok so you don't understand how rust worksthat's also fine, i should've included that as a third category in my prior postthat puts you together with retards like Jon Blow and Ryan Fleury
>>540413981That makes sense, you typically don't need to update projects to new tools unless you absolutely need a new feature that doesn't exist in the prior version. It's just asking for headaches.
>>540413981Oh I don't use 23 either, just figured I'd ask since you mentioned waiting for 26.
>>540414458Seriously, yeah. I wish we just agreed to keep it all on Linux, but they wanted the big three. On the plus side, I was able to get approval to play with AVX+ SIMD/Intrinsics -- So, even though i don't get constexpr for all math until C++26, I can get some pretty good stuff out of it.>>540414914My big interest in C++26 is just constexpr for math. There are some other nice things, but until we even have modules ready for C++20 for each compiler we need to support, I don't even see a point in going that far out. >>540414163>ok so you don't understand how rust workslol ok, I "don't know how it works" but directly reference the low level entry hatch. Sure, well I actually had reached out to help out with the Rust compiler, but decided to not push my fixes out because of how uppity the community is. It had to do with the compile time and a weird decision made for structures, and that is the only elaboration I'll give you. What's horrid is that you could probably just rebuild the compiler in C and calling it a day. It's a little extra overhead, but at least you can at least solve the problems you want to avoid. But I guess that kinda defeats the whole "replace C" movement :^)Anyways, how is everyones progress going? I just improved how fast nodes are responding because it looks like everyone wants to be a fucktard about data structures day in and day out. No-gam here, but maybe a little test gam soon.
>>540415752I wish I was good enough to understand this discussion.
I have a surprise coming soon.
>>540415752there's actually another compiler for Rust written in C++, and it doesn't do borrow checking
>>540421176that's okay, he doesn't understand it eitherhe's a larping nocoder
>>540422618Seems to know enough to larp, can you post your game?
>>540422783but not enough to understand why Rust has the unsafe keyword
>>540422903unsafe keyword?

what if i make a simple Andrew Tate beat'em up using this pic as graphics? its perfectly drawn for 2d bone rigging
>>540455895Would probably do really well.
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.
>>540459475we're here btw >>540401980
>>540459915Thanks.
>>540459915No we're not, thats the shitposting thread>>540459475Do what you want to do, and just take your time. There's no rush in game dev, you have a long life ahead of you.
>>540459475Just 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

Anyone know of anybody who makes gorgeous isometric work? I just want to ape how they make their terrain assets...
basically steam is just going to stop accepting indie games entirely pretty soon and there's nothing you can do about it
>>540481158best way is to make primitive shapes in blender
>>540481708They could just restrict indie submissions to US citizens and the problem would go away.
>>540483664My dream is a multi tiered society based essentially on race. You could tie it to IQ, income, status, but that would basically be the same thing. Like I'm fine with banning low quality humans from owning guns, but high quality humans should be able to own tanks.
>>540485027you better hope they don't factor in progress or else you're going straight to the camps

I spend 15 years trying to master gamedev with the goal of being equal to ZUN and pixel, but I can only make jam games that are like chess with waifus.What's the point of gamedev, and making a 5 minute masterpiece, if gaymers want is a 500 hour JRPG with the GDP of a small city.I just want to make games, but It's hard and I can only make games that last 10-15 minutes to finish.

>>540505229>a publisher funded itSo why would you give a shit about making money. You were literally given money to make your game and you got to take some for yourself as well at the end. This setup sounds better than how 99% of indies work.

>>540505229Publishers are theives. Stop working with them.
Shodanon is here. Why don't you drop some keys instead of shitting yourself?
>>540506364They didn’t even mention taxes, and they made all the money in 1 year so taxes will be huge, like 40-50%. That leaves 2-4 years of income at a poverty level.
One more note of frustration with Unreal? The little projects they do regarding trying to showcase proper structure for a professional environment? What they're doing is just putting in their structure they use it Fortnite and calling it standard. Because they themselves are, and have been for the last decade, trapped in that environment. And they will never escape, for it's all they know.
>>540509448That's a good idea. Done.
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
>>540510938>They didn’t even mention taxesthey did
>>540510531Publishers are the only way you will succeed. They actively foster this dynamic so that they are relevant, but unfortunately it is the case that they gatekeep it.
>>540510938When you make that sort of money you create a company, the company pays you a much smaller paycheck. you are taxed on the 50k/year salary you take.pc upgrades, gaming and japan "business" trips are business expenses too.
>>540511107Pubs barely do any work. They pay a bunch of office employees to do slow crappy work. If you can pick up a phone and speak English you can do what a publisher does for a fraction of the cost and effort. The problem is most game devs are massively retarded socially and that’s what publishers take advantage of.
>>540511254I know they barely do any work but it doesn't matter.
Who the hell puts a .zip file inside of another .zip file?
>>540511329If you wanna pay someone 12m to make phone calls for you that’s cool. But publishers do not hold the keys to success. Otherwise they wouldn’t need us, they would just take their money and duplicate it. Just look at a game like Withering Rooms that’s totally fantastic but gets no attention from the publisher and basically flopped. If the dev just made some phone calls and put up some of his own ads it’d be a very different story.
>>540422618>bro he's larping he's larpingIs that your one and only cope?
>>540402081How do ARPG games like POE and diablo handle so many enemies?I made a naive prototype and enemies clump up and get stuck in lines all the time.Avoidance is easy enough to implement but it has to be more complicated then that?What keywords can I search for? Searching for anything "AI" related on google is polluted after 2022.

>>540512419Imagine thinking somebody was 'tricked' into a 10 million dollar loan that they actually even made money off of all things considered. >be me>I really want to build a widget to sell>my prototype is nice, but made of bits of string and tape>need manufacturing>somebody with money likes the widget>offers me 10m to set up factory to make widgets>widgets sell and I make 12m+ and can pay back factory costs and the marketing they offered plus a little extra for me>motherfuckers>if I had just figured out how to do 12m dollars of work for free somehow I could have kept all of that money!Listen, I'm not pro-corporatism or middlemen but this is a fucking retarded argument. I'm sorry that he's mad he didn't get to keep ALL of the revenue, but that attitude is exactly why I don't like the corporatism or middlemen.
>>540512169Like Pong?>>540512631If you’re so desperate to be enslaved just get a normal job, a mortgage, or a wife. All of those will give you better ROI than accepting publisher money. It’s wild how so many people’s idea of success is just owing your life to someone else.

>>540513287>you have the idea>you do all the work>you’re OK with losing 83% of the value that you generated all by yourself Couldn’t be me. I make my own money and fund my own stuff. I feel bad for people who don’t know how to use their skills to make money and have to rely on vampire investors. Every time you accept an investors money you strengthen their economic position and weaken yours. What looks like success is actually slowly digging your own grave, and everyone’s grave too.
>>540513664No. if a youtuber tells me something at BEST I will disregard it, and at worst I will actively pursue the opposite. My game will make AAA studios quack.

>>540514219You can't do that. The /agdg/ discord is gonna ban you now.
>>540513331Making your engine isn't as difficult as that. Anyone could do it. The learning resources are everywhere on the web. I think every game developer would benefit from trying it atleast once.

>>540514602>>540513030Yet you defend Peripeteia to no end... Curious...
>>540513951Something gamedevs need to learn that the rest of development figured out a long time ago is that part of your funding/operating cost for anything where real money is involved (12m absolutely counts) is that your paying yourself as a salary as a part of it (could be other compensation structure but whatever). If you get 12 million from a pub, that's going to include your salary as CEO for the 2 or 3 years remaining in development. The money left over at the end of profit are NOT the money you get as an individual unless you're a retard.
>>540514549oh so you're just a pongnigger in a coat from a different sheepnot sure what you gain from wasting people's time with mundane, minimally useful tasks but it sounds based so keep it up

All I'm saying is making your own engine might not be what you think, when you make a game without an engine you're basically building an engine as you go, an engine specialized towards that game. It's an idea that is phrased incorrectly, in reality you get an engine as you build your game. To tie that back into what I was saying, you should basically just make a game from scratch without an engine (which will build an engine like I said) because it's a good learning experience.

You ever hear a good movie director say that they're making a movie they want to watch, or a good songwriter say they're making a song that they want to listen to? No. They make movies because they have a story they want to tell others, and they write songs because they have an emotion they want to impart upon to others.Anyone who would say something like>I'm making the game I want to play, for me.suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.
>>540516638Awesome.You might be able to get around around that camera getting out of position issue by just loading in a character with camera at every possible position in the game and then hiding all of them and unhiding the active character and activating the camera. So instead of moving the character you just move through all of the available ones. With GPU instancing this shouldn't really be a problem, just have maybe 60 or so every meter, you'd probably still be below nanite on overhead.

>>540526472i can only imagine how fucking shitty that game will look coming from here, bud
>>540528536start devving
>>540528658what's the acceptance criteria for that exactly?
>>540528416I've got several k wishlists so probably not total flop but also probably not a mega success. will be interesting to see what happens either way
as a gamer what is better: initial load screen for the main menu takes a little longer to load which results in a short unskippable 3 second intro cinematic, and then when you actually play the game the town level loads instantly OR immediate main menu load but from main menu to town takes 3 seconds to load.
>>540528943wishlists are fucking meaningless retard, fuck off
>>540529128Initial loading should happen during the booting up of the first menu screen, and then when you hit 'continue' the menu disappears and you realize that the faded background was the load-in position and it just comes into view or unblurs or something and you start playing immediately on clicking continue.
>>540528061Post steam pageThere are hundred posters and thousand lurkers itt, someone will wishlist or maybe even buy it
I made a point to stop wishlisting indie games because I know I probably won't pick them up on launch and if I do add them and then not buy on launch its probably contributing to indie devs kts when they launch.

>>540529459>thousand lurkers ittholy fuck, maybe 20 - 30 max you absolute dumb fuck

I wanted to try my hand at gamedevving for the first time.I picked Godot as a starter engine, and "Brackeys Beginner Tutorial" as a video tutorial.I've added in goomba characters that move left and right until they find a wall, or a platform edge, in which case they'll switch directions.At one point, I implement a reset function that reloads the one game scene.The problem is, upon reset, the goomba characters will always be facing the opposite direction they did upon the first game load.What happens is - goombas' physics process are detecting "edges" every reload, and switching directions right off the bat. Again, this only happens on reload.The load order of platforms and tiles seems to be fine.The only solution I found is to completely ignore the first couple edge check calls.Can someone explain to me what's going the fuck on?I don't even care for a solution I just want to know why this happens.
>>540531901takes one to know one

Why is animating for Unity or any game engine so stupid? Make a model and then I make two animations. Want to add a third animation? Re-import your fbx, now all animation controllers are broken and you have to redo all states and transitions. Great system guys

>>540534294holy shit this is perfect for my game where there's 10,000 rigidbodies that I only need to run at 14-60FPS
>>540531807You don't get it all at once. You get small chunks of it every time you hit a milestone so you actually have to work hard or they'll cut you off entirely.>>540529459NTA but if my game isn't good enough to sell without me begging anons for attention, I don't deserve the money anyways.
>>540532213A simple fix would be to check "!=" rather than "or" (i.e. check for "xor"). Another possible fix is to move the check till after you call move_and_slide. Either way, rather that just blindly flipping on any edge, you should add a check to only flip left if you see a right and and only flip right if you see the left edge.
I would never use ai voice acting in my game. I would never use ai for making assets in my game, but right now, someone asked me a complicated question. I'm considering asking chatgpt how to respond to it, I just want to know the right thing to say, but I don't.I might abandon my anti ai honor, for the illusion of friendship, anything is better than admitting that I should have never slid into his dms, I would never tell him that I wished I never met him, even though it's true. I became a born again femcel, because I never wanted to feel that embarrassed again. Anyways, I've been learning alot about my game engine in case you were wondering, I'm still commited to being a gamedev
>>540534294Theoretically yes, someone just needs to hook it up to havok.
>>540534294Is this bait...for me specifically? I got 63.5 x output (in best case scenario) with the 10K test for Godot vs ReX (Redot Engine hard fork) using their own benchmark...

>>540534603These are good solutions yeah, I understand them.However I'm more interested in why the reload is completely different to the first initial load.
Jesus is a nepobaby his dad is god I have to become god on my own
>>540536257>schizo talks about his lawn guy??????? just be yourself ???????????
>>540536105It's hard to say without seeing the entire project structure. How are you reloading? get_tree().reload_current_scene()? If so, it's probably some race condition with how the physics server takes an extra tick to load in on the first load, but doesn't need to be reload to reload just the scene.
Here, some more examples of tech that was actually in real games that ran fine 15 years ago, and is now lost to time and we can't do anymorehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWwuinv4MEQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEJDInk1NXQ
>>540536517Yeah, using that.I guess it's something like tha yeah, really annoying, thanks.
>>540536521>I didn't vet that DMM clip, there's some random in-editor sims there that I think are just some indian who assumes every sim was DMM. But the 2 star wars clips at the beginning were right.
>>540535937Why
>>540536663You wouldn't see the discrepancy if you add in a title screen. In a real game, you also wouldn't be able to use reload_current_scene(). Instead, you'll want to make a custom scene loader/manager to handle transitions between different scenes as well as loading screens if needed.
>>540535670Idk I just keep the Blender file, then when I add a new animation I just export it, overwrite the .fbx file in the assets folder and in Unity I add the new animation clip in the import settings.
>>540536521>ran fine 15 years agono it didn't, it ran like straight ass at the time.
>>540537053GTA4 and the force unleashed ran fine for the time. In the DMM demo it's not running very well but that also is being run at a bit higher fidelity than what ended up in the real game.If you lie and say that destroying DMM scenery dynamically in TFU wasn't fun then you are lying or didn't play it.

I stopped taking ADHD meds. Stopped taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds because they dulled all emotions and made me a zombie. I started drinking copious amounts of coffee, but my progress is still meh. Spend a lot of time on yt, twitter, and 4ch this month as a form of escapism, and work on my game for ~ 1 hour daily. I'm a shutin, so /agdg/ is the only place I can talk to people. Discord gives me anxiety because everything I say is tied to an identity, so I have to watch what I say. I'm bad with social interactions, and people have fucked with me for perceived slights before, so I don't really want to deal with that when I'm bad at understanding social cues.I'm trying to work on my game for 6 hours today, and put in more hours. It wasn't this bad last month, when I devved ~4 hours a day. I've been depressed lately, so I spent more time on escapist stuff. Nodev is a downward spiral that leads to more nodev. Have to dev to break the cycle.
>>540537548oh.Cute!
>>540537617Shit I took a lyric by accident
>>540537632If you are autistic enough you can block out social anxiety.

>>540537973sorry, I made a brash statementit evolves every 2 years. That's how long it takes for a new genre to come out and then be overproduced by indies until it's stale.
>>540536903Because I'm sick of sitting in my bedroom every Friday night like a loser chud hunched over my PC. I need to get out and do things every now and then to feel like I actually have a life and a reason to be alive, even if doing so makes me briefly uncomfortable. I'm nearly 30 and I have no friends, no girlfriend, and no hobbies besides making a shitty video game nobody will ever play. I'm wasting my life and what remains of my "youth". if you can even call it that still. Sometimes I want to give up and just become a normie, going to bars and concerts every weekend and not having any real goals or aspirations.
>>540539527>new genrehahahaahaha

>>540540079Well I hope you have fun. Don't set your expectations too high. Major events don't happen every single time people go out.

>>540540079Understandable. Good luck!
>>540540079uh thats not that weird to go to concerts alone.reserved people all do things alone. it shows you care more about self respect than approval from others and the people like that are usually the most tasteful in art and etiquette
>>540540209CoolWhat's the counterplay?

>>540540250>>540540360Thank you. I don't expect much, I just want to have a memory I can hopefully look back on fondly. I can't even remember the last time I went out and did something as simple as going to a restaurant or taking a hike. I need to do something.>>540540406Thank you rotate, I'm glad my post caught you in a brief episode of lucidity.>>540540559I'll take what I can get honestly.
>>540530451feels like a student project since it's so small and pointlessI like the art

>>540540605stay inside and make your game, asshole
>>540537632You can have multiple accounts on discord. Make one per server if you're really schizo about it and gotta be able to burn the bridge whenever you want
I feel like another shit take is le capsuleyou don't have to make the whole catalog, but your very first order of business should be setting up a workflow and making a few samples to see what types and quantity of assets are realistic. Your game has to fit your means of asset production. Not the other way around.

Hell I wish I had started back in highschool or middle school But it couldn't hurt to get out sometimes, even while slaving away at gamedev
>>540540559I know you are but what am i
>>540537632Don't think too much about it fren. Just focus in being fine.

Hmmm, yeah. Yeah, I think I'll make my multiplayer game heavily based around physics interactions! Yeah! Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. That oughta do it. Yeah, I'll be able to do that. Yeah! Why not make my multiplayer game have a lot of physics interactions? Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. That'll be really fun for players. Yeah! I'll just do that.
>>540541639'and templeos is like a motorycle' ~terry davis
SoI'm an idea guy to the core, and unironically I have really excellent ideas about games of various ranges to make, cause I really fckn like thinking about game design, and I've been daydreaming "custom worlds" and "worldbuilding" shit since I was a kid which surpasses all of the popular crap like elder scrolls in terms of "cool lore"BUT.I fucking hate programming and all of the nerd "logic" and "memorization" based crap with all my being, honest.However, when I smoke weed.It makes me think tranny thoughts. Not joking.And the last time it made me think that I should start a tranny themed game dev twitter account, where I post "nudes" and other such content along with shilling my "gamedev journey".The nudes could work because, while I'm not fat or anything, my body seems to store fat in my legs and ass, and if I were to shave them, together with my pale skin, it would look quite enticing, especially when wearing lingerie and stuff.I have an idea for a visual novel that could be made with AI tools very easily, but I wouldn't be able to make it while sober because it would betray my core beliefs, but I could easily make it while high. It has a very high potential to go viral because of its subject matter which I won't disclose here.So I am at conflict between my sober self and drug addled self. I don't know what to do.Because I live a pretty shit life, but if I acted out on my weed-affected-thoughts then I could actually reap some decent money.So if this post has dubs, I will start today by making a twitter acc. I've already developed my "tranny persona" while I was previously high. She/her/they/them looks like Jill from RE3. When I get high I feel like a bitchess from a survival horror about to get "ambushed"..

My inability to decide on the first person question is causing me to waste time that could otherwise be put forward actually making progress, and it's really starting to piss me off.
If you vow to make every part of your game yourself, it will make the development time slow.However, over the course of years, you will learn many skills and you will create a very unique game.If you work earnestly, you will become the yesdev.

Small Games Accelerationism
I hate my gamethen I love my gamerepeat
Unreal Engine is the only valid engine because they were the only people to correctly figure out that Z should be up. Anything else makes absolutely no sense.
We all like to shit on idea guys for having bad ideas, but how does one actually get good ideas?
Is there a free 2D pic to 3D model AI I can use?
Well? Why aren't you?
>>540551426ah fuck, i was thinkign about making a mc-like
>>540552624>Well? Why aren't you?

>>540552624I can already using gork and hodinie and hugging face in my game. Glad to see based ai chads dominating japan industry now. we mog you.
Every time I come here, which is once in a blue moon, the first thing I see the most stale AI bait by some worthless nodev. If you're wondering why you haven't seen 'that game' here in a while, now you know why.
>>540552624I'm surprised it's only 50%.I'm sure if you checked, all of them use it to some degree.
it's sad to see how many people are tricked into using godot instead of unity or unreal
>>540555879I can't believe I was tricked into making money
We have the technology. Don't think I can ever go over 3 dice though.
>>540550493>the first person questionwhat is it?
did i step into the fucking twilight zone? the thread slowed down to a halt during peak west hours
>>540558804I posted and killed the thread.
I was asleep.
>>540559382meant for: >>540558804
>>540557942The first person question is which first person camera method is the best choice for a Borderlands-style co-op FPS game. A head-bolted camera, or a separate view model. I've been considering the head-bolted camera because I like the idea of having animations and stuff done realistic and replicated for multiplayer to add soul to the game once everything's set up, but I'm still not 100% because the ultimate cost may be too much.
>>540558804/agdg/ is reclining...
>>540558804sorry, i was busy masturbating to loli pornography
>>540558804The seething jealous nodev pedo (actual pedo) trannies decided a long time ago nobody on /agdg/ shall be allowed to have fun anymore.
>>540558804The 1 guy who posts 80% of the thread is probably asleep or gone or something.If you are making a game and taking it seriously you should not post or even really be here. What are you hoping to court the edgy 4chan audience when people find out you were showing your game on 4chan's vg board that semi-frequently gets plastered with israeli CP from the final fantasy thread? Not a good idea. If you care, keep it to yourself or join a discord that isn't the one here, and go to game dev conventions. If you're a hobbiest and learning stuff then go off, but otherwise this is not a good or useful place.
>>540561559I have no social life. No friends. These threads are my only realistic outlet to discuss and share progress.
me? I'm just making progress
>>540561559No one cares. I just want to have fun devving.
I'm trying to figure out a way to make good art without AI that is easy and fast to make and doesn't look like shit.My idea is like doing fast and quick strokes in Krita using a big brush, then downscaling to like 128x128 sprite, and then upscaling it using those upscaling emulator filters.
>>54055262480~ percent of everyone coding is using aidid you ever paste some of your code in gpt/gemini and asked for some feedback? congrats, you used ainormalfags simply don't care
i wasted the day drawing little girls again instead of devving...
>>540561969getting good at character design, i see
>>540561948>did you ever paste some of your code in gpt/gemini and asked for some feedback?no actually bug fixing is easy, literally just play the game and when you see something that's wrong just think about why that's happening then fix it
>>540552624I am not surprised, nips are the kind of people who jump on to using these new technologies immediately, while still using telephone booths and fax for some reason. I knew this would happen and I know for sure that this will consume their art culture from the inside out.
>>540561918>no ai>up-scaling filternigger tier retard as usual
>>540562180how is HQ-4r or whatever is called to be AI?
>>540562150That works, but I usually play around to learn to reproduce the bug, then I put a breakpoint or two to find out what goes wrong.
>>540562239lol retard doubled down kys
>>540562150if you ever googled anything code related recently and read the gemini summary instead of clicking the links you used ai
Reminder that in the context of indie development if people ever find out you have ever used AI, even if it's not in the final game, you will lose your entire audience and everybody will go out of their way to either refund or actively CC chargeback if they bought it and your reputation will never recover with the audience you actually have a chance with.
So do people actually make games here or is it just a bunch of bitter nodevs trying to demoralise each other to discourage potential competition?
>>540562286https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel-art_scaling_algorithms???This is not AI.
>>540562571If they're nodevs they don't have competition so why would they try to discourage non-existent competition?
>>540562409not really, also that's not what you asked and not what I was replying to
>>540562269>breakpointwhat a fucking loser. who the fuck uses fucking breakpoints
>>540562571>So do people actually make games hereNo>is it just a bunch of bitter nodevs trying to demoralise each otherYeah, mostly.You could try posting stuff and see how long it takes you to be too annoyed to continue posting.
I've decided to cancel all work on making new levels and just keep polishing the old levels until someone gives me money. No point investing in content if the project's not commercially viable.
>>540562571>So do people actually make games here why do you care? what matters is whether you make games
>>540562101microbikinis aren't good character design thougheverbeit
>>540558804my bad bro its friday night i was hanging out with my girlfriend and drinking beershow is your little game project coming along?
>>540563156That makes sense. I would say don't polish things unnecessarily though. Get a vertical slice style thing that really shows stuff off. Bulking out the whole game if that amount of work is too large to do without funding is a bad use of time, it's the tedium stuff that you or others can just grind out later. Mind you, some nebulous level of polish is also like that so just make sure you're really scoped on the stuff that will sell your game.
>>540563324>drinking beerslol this fag's too scared to try heroin guaranteed. how was the wheat soda, bitchtits?
>>540563005Oh right. I guess I'm a loser.

>>540570064Gonna work on the game trailer now. Skurple, a good brother and friend of the Mongol server agreed to voice act this description which will be used in the official trailer."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. But not all is lost. as I, Agrippa, have taken the task of preserving humanity, and by dozens upon dozens of torturous iterations of building and reconfiguring your flesh, I've become fond of you, Mongol. Now the ardurous task of preserving the humanity within this reality is not completely lost, and in my infinite wisdom I have posessed the ancient knowledge to grasp other realities. I am your God now!"Here's a sample of a few lines he voiced in the past:https://voca.ro/15E16zhzga0lhttps://voca.ro/1oE1IC7FK0Dihttps://voca.ro/16Ue17nJNxaPGod bless you description-anon!!!!!

>>540570643Estimators have it at around>Gross revenue: $4k ($1.8k - $6.2k)but Marmo himself said it barely made over $1k. We skewed the review count because a bunch of us here bought it and left positive reviews, so even though has a 52 100% positive reviews, it only ended with a little over 100 units sold.And yes, Marmo was hoping to support himself on it. He spent a decade to make around $100 per year worked. That said, it was only the EA release, and he could potentially turn it around if he could ever muster up the willpower to finish the game, but he's likely heavily demoralized and hasn't made any substantial progress in around half a year.

I still can't believe I posted this on my tinder dating profile lmao."I'm working on Mongol, a weird RPG, multiple genre hybrid. A game dev, lover and player"
>>540573234why did you just post a picture of yourself unprompted?
>>540573234The problem isn't that you posted your game. The problem is that you posted an angle that highlights your receding hairline.
>>540571209I would like some more low frequencies from the ship and a fancy digital sound for the buttons.The angelical voice sounds really good, I've been listening multiple times already.Watch this:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kG4pV0n1wqg
>>540573424>why did you just post a picture of yourself unprompted?A man chooses! A slave obeys! Obey!>>540573432>The problem isn't that you posted your game. The problem is that you posted an angle that highlights your receding hairline.Oh shit, you're right, I forgot about that aspect....mooooooooooods, del this!!!!!!!!!!!!
continuing work on the renderertonight's work is twofold: first, get things to the point of compiling. gutted my source code for this reiteration, and so there are a LOT of missing code that needs to be updated. second is working out and implementing the design of loading shaders and a system for arbitrarily sending data to the GPU.
>>540573234I can't believe that you're brave enough to post your face here lol.and... any luck?
>>540571048Alright here's blender nodes ver.
>>540573817Just like cris, he grew up in a 3rd world shithole that's far more dangerous than any doxing could possibly be.
>>54053429415fps is pretty bad.but havok? Isn't that GPGPU physics engine? so they are running compute shaders in the browser, or? Or was that physX?>>540534553that sounds smart, like bank lenders when a couple are getting their house built, vs others who pay lump sum and get stiffed by a dodgy builder and left with a half built death trap of a house and no money, sounds like some people's games. At least they'd still own the land but.>>540549119I think ReX is like a side project where they are breaking backwards compatibility with godot to clean stuff up more core / architecturally, until it pretty much becomes its own engine
woo, transcripts
>>540551426>>540552628search up tooley1998 on kemono so you can download his LayOfTheLand_0.15.1.zip it's pretty good I think . I think that the water especially looks really beautiful. Now, to chop down trees, you CAN punch them to get wood, but, its a bit different. you don't just "earn" wood from smacking them, but once you fell the tree and then break up the trunks, once a segment of wood is "small" enough so like <1 yard/meter in game or so, you can press E on it and the whole object just disappears and you get like 500 micro wood blocks in your inventory. and you can pick up sticks, water plants, and stone pebbles off the ground. To craft ya just pull up your inventory and dump stuff in a pile at your feet then press R on the bundle and you get a radial menu of stuff you can craft from that. It's pretty sick I think, I like how the voxels are like 1/10 the size of in Minecraft it makes the graphics look so much better I recon. BTW there are more MC style games in production than you could shake a stick at and have been for a long time so don't worry about it, its literally just a style, no different than low poly, ps1, pixel art, etc
>>540574487what are the lines and circles that come off? those look strange what do they do? and do you type that text or was it computer generated from the sound bar above it?
I'm out of monsters. I'm gonna kms
>>540574717Do a flip.
I made this today. I'm unsure if I should make the keyboard and mouse have cables or not.
Hello, John Bobby here. Share your progress>>540574717Don't joke about that.
>>540574717I have like 30 in my fridge
>>540573469>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kG4pV0n1wqgoh dude that sounds so good, the music as well>>540571209the ship sound crossfading into the choir and back (back is less clear though but into it was good) is pretty nice, I've heard something similar somewhere a few weeks ago, forgot what it was but remember that was nice too.instead of your circulars just disapaeariong on the sudden exit from warp, do you think it is possible to make them grow really large and expand out? I think at 487kb this webm would be better at a higher framerate like 60fps webm, 10 fps is a bit low for this sleek anim I think
>>540574661>what are the lines and circles that come off?Audio recordings>those look strange what do they do?form conversation trees.>and do you type that text or was it computer generated from the sound bar above it?It's transcribed by the machine
>>540574968at the back, the circulars of the fan grills shouldn't be cut off half way like that, they not semi circles they full circles, can you edit it and shrink the texture in / move the UVs out, and if you want the back panel and power plug big you can probably photoshop them larger like rotate the power plug sideways and expand it into the grey space etc, coz there are meant to be fans behind those circulars and so no fans are semi circle they are round because they spin so it looks wrong at first and then you see it and it's like damn, that's totally wrongas for the cable, its okay to not have them because it can just feel like the cables are there but they are so fin that they aren't visible like the low poly shrunk them away, but you could make a desk mat that it all sits on and draw the cables as black squiggles over the desk mat, even if the player can move the keyboard and mouse around that's okay, plenty of old games had stuff like that which only looked right until you physics interacted with it so its actually kind of authentic in a way
>>540575092right, so each circle could be assigned to a different identity and then its like those are the dialog boxes that they are talking to each other. is that for like VN segments?
>>540574968does your graphics rendering support something like anisotropic nearest neighbor or so? and if so, are you using it? it looks good when still but during motion that effect seems kinda funky
>>540574040I don't know if I really need to use substance lol. Guess I might still put it off until another project...
So is agdg officially dead? We didn't even hit the bump limit on a friday.
>>540576420Afraid so.
>>540576074Anything published by Hooded Horse makes me seethe 100x more.Guy got 1000+ reviews using a free 1 bit asset pack.https://kenney-assets.itch.io/1-bit-pack
>>540576789It's almost as if gamers don't care about graphics if the gameplay is good enough. Game design is the hardest part of gamedev.
>>540576921They still care about graphics, just not in the way most retards here think they do. Things still have to have aesthetics and design elements to them. Those are simple graphics but highly stylized and clean.
>>540576996Graphics are a medium by which to communicate gameplay. Bad graphics are typically just graphics that do a bad job at communicating gameplay.
>>540576921Great gameplay alright
>>540577104That's an element of it for sure, but not the only one. There's lots of things that make graphics good and right. Lots of devs in these threads can't figure that out though although in different paths. Some devs here are lazy and refuse to get better at art and expect you to care about their mediocre garbage. Some devs have no art skills at all and refuse to hire or work with an artist (even though there's millions of them in your city you could hit up just go to the local art school). Both result in shit.
>>540577261Yes.
>>540576630beckayeee
>>540542389Thank you, fren
Added the ability to automatically skip cutscenes upon clicking the Retry button. Before, you had to click Retry, then skip the cutscene manually. With this enabled, clicking Retry will immediately restart the level.Also replaced the ugly checkbox with a slider.
>>540540865I'll try with an alt. >>540537856Mom didn't take enough tylenol
>decide to take a break from trying to dev to play a game>realize I actually don't enjoy video games anymore>at allWell, shit.
>>540537632How big is your game's scope? You need to work on something you think is achievable in max 6 months. If you're working on a years long project it can become a lot easier to procrastinate because of the long journey you have ahead.
>>540578237Magic isn't as interesting to watch after you become a magician and learn all the tricks.
>>540578237welcome to the club!
>>540578237this is a good thing, this means you are maturing as a developer as you've now ceased seeing games as games and started seeing them as mechanisms that you can take apart and put together. you're going to make it, but the actually tough part of the journey starts now
>everyone in the dev team is an introvert an nobody is willing to step up and tell the others what to do so nothing gets done
>>540578660I think I just don't like video games anymore. I was already at the precipice of that. Like, games were previously mechanically interesting to me. Now I just stare at them with a depressed malaise and think what a fucking waste of time they are and how all that effort could've gone towards doing things that are actually meaningful to the human race.
>>540537632fix your life three simple steps:>1. get back on adhd meds; if you're having a bad time with SSRIs, consider some alternative antidepressants (e.g. wellbutrin), otherwise consider going experimental (tianeptine, lion's mane/7,8-DHF, semax spray, etc).>2. stop drinking coffee, caffeine is a shit drug and is redundant with adhd stimulants anyway>3. exercise more and try to maintain some semblance of a social lifeyou are welcome, happy devving
>>540578712This is why being employed and having managers is useful. I know it's hard for unemployed people to understand.
>>540578712It's not really an introversion problem. It's a game design problem. It's hard to be a director when you don't really know the capabilities and limits of those you are directing. Obviously, you want to make the best product possible, but how do you know what is the best possible product that your team is capable of making? Without a salary to hang over each dev's heads, how do you convince them to do their best?
>>540537632>suffers from anxiety>takes stimulantsLol.Try atomoxetine. Cut the coffee. Stay away from SSRIs and benzos. Try buspar + wellbutrin maybe.
>>540577364>
>Scrolling through Youtube, I watch a video talking about not to worry about the slop games on Steam as long as you make something decent. >The guy on pic related say his game got filtered by Steam, implying his game it's not slop.>Checked his youtube account and search for his game.This is the game:https://store.steampowered.com/app/670510/ColorBlend_FX_Desaturation/
>>540577356You've obviously never tried working with artists. They're shit. They all only know how to do one or two things, typically at a fairly mediocre level. There's not a single artist out there who can do even half of the things that fall under art and animation in picrel. 90%+ of the things listed in red almost always falls to some "programmer" to do.
>>540578712My team argues a lotBut i like it that wayI’d prefer passionate hotheads to limp wristed bocchis
>>540579653He's right. Gamers love slop. They eat that shit right up. He should've made slop instead of some SOVLful puzzle platformer. No one wants to play a puzzle platformer.
>accidentally overwrote a blender file
>>540579715Sisters, how do we respond without sounding mad?
>>540568118Some inner circlers made a successful bug king’s field game
>>540579682Most of this is irrelevantHow did game companies function in the 90s?
>>540579653Colorblend FX doesn't even sound like the name of a game. It sounds like a new Photoshop competitor.
>>540579682I mean, that says something more about your communications skills than the artists skills. Your picture is so much unnecessary fluff of "jobs". I'm the artist on our project and I do all the art from UI to characters, I also do all the sound design foley, music, etc. game design, I know how to do all the necessary things in the engine for whatever I'm working on (including minor programming tasks), lighting, etc. while also handling the website and other tasks. Half the things that fall under Art and Animation is the same thing for most games being made. A simple thing like a torch would be Particle, 3D, Lighting, Prop, Model, etc. If you knew how to properly befriend someone you could easily find someone who is capable of doing more than "1 to 2 things at a mediocre level" which was my whole point of going out and meeting people in like minded circles/events or straight to the source at colleges/conferences.Of course this is agdg and 95% of your moms took tylenol when they were pregnant so obviously you guys don't know how to make friends.>>540579715Yeah if people are arguing it means they are passionate and actually hard working.>>540579810How did you manage to do that?>>540580059Yeah that picture is the definition of useless corporate jobs.
>>540579924shut his mouth showing how much progress the sisters are making
You ever find yourself working on some bullshit thing like adding rust decals to the door texture of a bathroom in the game and asking yourself "what the fuck am I doing with my life?"
>>540580607No, I find that shit fun.
>>540580607i felt that way just now while clearing so many errors my compiler would simply tell me that there were too many to list
Fixed camera scene, will add the first person trigger a bit later because I've got to move a bed.
>>540580346>How did you manage to do that?clicked save by accident while having an old autosaved file open, I lost an animation but I think I can recover it from a week old backupold blender doesn't give you a prompt if you click save it just does it
>>540580814Isn't that a preference on saving? Also why you in old blender?
>>540580346Wait, are you grassfag? You're actually back? I thought fagtroon was just hallucinating. I've gone though about a dozen different "artists" for various game jams, including one of my ex-college roommates who has a studio art degree from a top-10-ish US university. I have yet to meet a single artist who was willing to open up the game engine, so any lighting, VFX, etc will always fall to me. Basically, I always have to end up doing the art director's job, which IMO defeats the whole purpose of getting an artist.I don't see it as a communication issue. I see it as a supply issue. Most people who claim to be programmers will have at least spent years seriously learning programming and are willing to continue to learn new things. Most people who claim to be artists will have some vague experience doodling random shit and or maybe fucking around in blending if I'm really lucky. They don't really understand specs and constraints, and they'll shy away from anything that will require for them to learn a new skill mid-project.
>>540580950>Also why you in old blender?I prefer it, I managed to restore the file so it's all good now. I will try to be more careful next time.
making a multiplayer fps game allures me
>>540581261nta but your experience is exactly why i prefer to stay solo, i'll happily complete no games over a decade if it means not having to manage people like you're talking about
>>540580607absolutely, game dev is autism you should know that. Why Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos dont dev? They are above menial tasks, you should take example of them, gamedev is just a bunch of menial tasks
>>540581261>Wait, are you grassfag?No> I have yet to meet a single artist who was willing to open up the game engine, so any lighting, VFX, etc will always fall to me. Sounds like someone who isn't a professional artist. I can't imagine any professional artist creating something then letting someone else handle how it looks with lighting and visual effects. Unless they were really apathetic about it.>Most people who claim to be artists will have some vague experience doodling random shit and or maybe fucking around in blending if I'm really lucky. They don't really understand specs and constraintsSo non professionals lol. Any college grad should know how to work in multiple mediums especially if they specifically are trained in digital art/game design. The undergraduate degrees at my local art college include Animation, Game Art & Design(including programming etc.), illustration, Narrative Practice, etc.I'm telling you, literally just look up your local art colleges game design in general and they probably even list the events and groups that they participate in the area.
What's a good gen ai model to generate ui and inventory icons?
>>540581956nano banana
>>540581996thanks
if you like software so much, why video games? Why not do some cool AI automation app, or sell AI automations, or do something cool and futuristic?
>>540581492What is "old blender" in this case? I don't prefer any version of blender but honestly the new features in like 3.6+ are wayyyy too nice to go back to something prior. The only time I open older versions is for version specific files that don't work properly in newer ones.
>>540581956ngmi>>540582178AI is gay boring work.
>>540582337didn't ask
>>540582178i'm not going to lie, while i've been away from /agdg/ i developed a whole-ass career as an expert data annotator (helping train AI chatbots). i spend a lot of time reviewing other people's code, whether stuff sent to chatbots or investigating public repositories, and jonathan blow is 100% right about everything, it is GRIM what passes in career programming culture.i've been programming for a very very long time, close to 20 years. i don't like working with others, avoid using other's code as much as is possible/reasonable, and i've had this attitude 1000% vindicated. so, in other words, i do like software and make it but games are the most interesting kind of software to make
>>5405822452.79, I don't use geometry nodes or any of the fancy new tools so I just use what I'm already used to
>>540582337I'm inspired by Elon Musk futuristic approachHe makes things simple, for example>Car, should be simple, electric>Life should be simple, effortless with robots>Rockets, should cost less and be reusable so that life gets better and becomes more simpleI wish I could make something more simple, more effective, and life improving
>>540582493have you considered coming up with any goal and then trying to achieve it
>>540582598yes
>>540582481Oh man, you're missing out on so many things. Geo nodes is just one of them. 2.79 is so old and trash at this point. Like, you're missing so much stuff and just better features at the most basic level.
>>540582493Elon Musk hasn't made shit. You must be a child, go to bed.
>>540582656well then do that. elon musk isn't trying to be futuristic, he's just trying to solve problems.
https://youtu.be/545oysgjdrg
>>540582679I don't really care for that stuff since I only use blender for making basic assets.
>>540582178"AI", assuming you mean ML models, isn't really all that cool. It is basically just a way for a computer to produce phenomenoligical models. The results can be magical, sure. But it is a lot of just sitting around waiting while the computer minimizes errors, assuming you even have the resources to do anything interesting.
>>540582916I'm telling you. For basic assets, the new versions of blender are incredibly better at it. Every tool is just more powerful and streamlined.
>>540581915I just looked at all the schools in my city and not a single one of them had anything game specific.
>>540583292You must live in a really shitty place then. Like, even regular standard state school have 3D modeling classes on top of regular art classes and such.
>>540571252cris back to the AI harem arc huh
Hell yeah I just got a working "tug of war" shared world gang turf system working in my 2D crime sandbox game Pixurbia. Basically players can pick a gang once in their save and then do shit to fuck with players who picked the opposite gang, and the winners get benefits while the losers get fucked with. I think I could probably stir some people up to start fighting for one side or the other by making threads about the update on different social media platforms at the same time.https://progchad.itch.io/pixurbiahttps://gx.games/games/r5r8eb/pixurbia/Update might drop in like 3 hours, I have the hardest parts done already
>>540583292Are you not American? I feel like most American Colleges and Art schools cover digital design in all aspects.
>>540578779If I ever play any grindy repetitive games (most of them) I feel this. But the ones with true love passion and care put into them I still enjoy. And now I'm more impressed when a game does something really well
>>540579715I'll show you a hothead!
>>540583503that's pretty fun, i was just musing an organized crime game involving having to maintain territory against rival gangs would be pretty neat-o
>>540580607I feel this constantly with almost every stage of the game dev process until the very end.Only exceptions being large gameplay implementations like combat.It's like everything is a brush stroke on a painting, but you're looking at with your nose touching the canvas, so you can't see the rest of the painting until it's done.
>>540583474I live in Houston. I checked Rice, UofH, and SanJac. It appears that we only live for oil and gas. I went to a state school (UT-Austin), and I don't remember if we had much in the way of digital art. It certainly wasn't big. We had a gamedev student org, but it was all programmers out of the CS school. (I didn't hang out much with them, so idk much, but I'm in their discord. I didn't focus on gamedev back when I was at school.)>>540583561My studio art friend did learn Photoshop, but he mostly works with physical mediums.
>>540583207I see, I will check out the new versions then.
Godot crashed again when I imported updated Tiled maps, Fygoon predicted this
are there any other enginedevs here?
>godot
>>540584138Skill issue
>>540584198No, I learned my lesson and git commit anytime I'm gonna mess with files in Godot, I passed the skill issue
>>5405259402 weeks is impossible. I would like an interesting morally grey male protagonist basicly a chud , not some meta-humor beta male like Scott Pilgrim. Preferably make him uncomfortably real and morally questionable. Even better, set him in a world just as morally bankrupt and uncaring, something people can relate to now that quality of life has dropped so significantly for the middle class. Pic related
>>540583843It appears you just ain't cut out to find out information. Probably a zoomie. Took me like 30 seconds to find classes from your own college lmao.
>>540584257Pushing before messing with files isn't passing the skill issue, that's a terrible skill. Push when finished on something regardless, and if you mess with files just ignore changes...
Shame about Piratesoftware, I can see the vision for Heartbound, but releasing it into early access and then causing so much controversy means it will never reach its full potential.Maybe I should steal some of the ideas?
>open unity>go to switch weapon model>turns out it looks like shit>suddenly realize what are you doing with your precious time on this Earth>"Holy Shit This is Retarded">feel repulsed by your gamedev activity>close unity immediately
>>540584525I mean yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of standalone classes for specific topics, but there aren't any majors or more comprehensive courses. What good will someone who knows just 3D modeling do? You need a broad knowledge base of the entire design space to be a decent art director. Besides, even if there are classes, how do you find the people who took them? I'm completely uninvolved with this school.
>>540583756Good comparison. Or like making a mural on a skyscraper, you can't see it until you're done and take some distance from it.
>>540575436I made them round thanks good noticing I was just being lazy but didnt think of that lolI made a phone too which is how you will get your missions
webgl games are kinda cool, you just open the browser and it works
>>540585065I didn't check what the degrees were but usually any digital art degree covers everything and skill takes you further. The broad knowledge comes from it being a college of art...>I'm completely uninvolved with this school.That's fine just literally look up events and go to local nerd hot spots. Not sure how many times i need to explain basic levels of living as an adult and finding friends to your autistic ass lol.
>>540577261>https://kenney-assets.itch.io/1-bit-pack....dude, the graphics on this look like absolute shit in motionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keP4ImRyAIglike, look at that ugly ass way the buildings twitch and twerk, fucking feral
>>540585454lookin good. what kind of game is this going to be?
>>540586059I hang out with my local hackerspaces. It doesn't get much nerdier than that, but again, not much gamedev happens there, especially not at a commercially viable level of skill. It's not a problem of finding friends. Friends are a dime a dozen. The problem is finding competent peer-level teammates with complementary skills that are actually relevant to gamedev who actually have time and energy to work on a project. I have some money, but I can't pay actual competitive first-world salaries for long enough to sustain a full game project. Unlike the programmers I know, artfags tend to not have more than a few months worth of savings, if even that.
>>540409861they just copy it from how bethesda did it in their previous game
>>540569876lovely, thank you!
>>540584843>Shame about Piratesoftware>shamedude, the only shame about loudmouthsoftware was that he decided to start gaming the algorithm and polluting my recommended feed with his look warm and below takes and his fake vox morph mic boom yapping. dude never should have quit working for mcdonalds then we wouldn't have the displeasure of ever seeing or talking about him.>>540584138delete the .godot folder, reboot. If still, try making a new project (different name, because ProgramData stuff), copy into it one by one. If still not, well, you'll do a similar process to resurrect your proj anyway, I had to do the same thing when I used that G.U.I.D.E addon and it fucked and raped my project to death, I had to copy all my files out into another fresh project and delete the nodes with references to GUIDE shit to get it working again.>>540584164I've seen at least one but he might not be on right now, there are plenty of ex-engine devs though.>>540583706like GTA:SA?>>540581915>Sounds like someone who isn't a professional artist. I can't imagine any professional artist creating something then letting someone else handle how it looks with lighting and visual effects. Unless they were really apathetic about it.Nah that's common, some artists will open in marmoset toolbag to "estimate" how it will appear in engine, but that's it.Don't forget, there are artists who only sculpt. There are artists who only rig. There are artists who only animate. Integrating produced stuff into the game engine sounds like the job for new hires or apprentices, you don't want the big bucks artists waisting even a single nanosecond on some unreal or unity ass bullshit when they could be creating new stunning visuals and character models in the DCC based on the latest concept arts. It is up to a dude called the Technical Artist to create / vet their workflows to make sure that they aren't using stuff that won't import well, or if they are that there is a way to bake it
