>>540587682who?
It's 4:50AM and I'm gonna start trying a newer workflow to cheap non AI HD texturing.

(A)woken is a shit game, respectfully
'goon squad for life
>>540588023Did you even play it?
>>540588104
>>540588104Why so defensive? Curious.
>>540588141Unfiltered childlike SOVL
>>540588174Why so offensive? Curious.
>>540588141'cord slop
>>540588104Yeah multiple DD versions it's dogshit even by solodev standards it doesn't undestand what made Hawken fun, and also the dev is obsessed with Fygoom (like most of the liqcord) which is a redflag.
>>540588023i'm slowly trying to make it betteri'm refactoring my cutscene system right now to use inheritance and exports to reduce duplication and make it easier to update
okay, took five minutes to paint this.
>>540588686only 5 minutes? cris WON
>>540588686Unfiltered childlike SOVL
Trenchbroom is pretty cool but it's very hard to forget blender shortcuts
>>540588501Fuck off fagoon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St5VqSrETMUwhy cant you make anime games in this style instead of the ugly capitalist nu tranime style
>>540589026he's still sleeping
>>540589026Was Fygoon even born when Hawken was running? And this is exactly why I dislike you federx, you're mentally ill like all liqcord circlejekers, I thought Italy had mental healthcare but I guess not.
>>540589028What could be more beautiful than printing money?
>>540588023(a)woken is better than hawken, it even runs on linux
so who is fygoon and why is discord agdg obsessed with him
>>540589028>why cant you make animeBecause we're game developers, not anime artists.
>>540589340NOOOOOOOOO
>>540589508funnily enough the discord moved on from fygoon shitposting a few months agothis guy in the thread is still completely obsessed though
Holy shit just realized there's 15+ people actively playing my amateur solo dev project Pixurbia seemingly every day, it must be the same people coming back who discovered it when it first released. Got around 1800 plays total so far which actually kind of fucks my mind a bit thinking about that many people going through my game's world and having their own unique view of every part of it compared to me.https://progchad.itch.io/pixurbiahttps://gx.games/games/r5r8eb/pixurbia/
>>540589639Fygoon still thinks the 'cord's attention is going to him when in reality it's been going to a female game dev
>>540589858AI can't even spell the name of your game right
>>540589858Fine I'll give your game a test run, beggar.
>>540589910uh oh, agdg has female devs now?
>>540590141NVM I got 2 huge stutters in the first 20 seconds
>>540589398no one cares about loonix it's less than 1% of my sales, azurtroon defending his 'cord buttbuddieswe will all laugh when shartwoken inevitably flops due to taking hugbox feedback
>>540590541azurdev hates discord actuallyhe only gave up and registered when 4chan fucking died for two weeks
>>540590623i apologize to azurCHAD i always said he was one of the good ones
Why does this monkey talk to himself 24/7?
>>540588023it needs better graphics. the very first demo he submitted I thought it looked cool as due to the level design asset he used. since then he has added lots of stuff to the game, but, its like janky stuff mostly so far except I think the out of cockpit stuff has some potential. the building and placing turrets is nice for enemies to make enemy behavior more varied but I'd prefer picking up a turret pickup to vanish it for score rather than collect and let me place. I don't want to place fucking turrets, this ain't an FPS tower defense and if it were I'd just play sanctum 2 instead. yeah anyway mostly I feel like its downhill since the first one purely just on the graphical aesthetics. He needs cool visuals I mean look at landsword it way more popular and it does look a bit cooler. (a)woken needs to have better looking environments. also the mechas should have dual shoulder knightmare cables and you can spiderman swing that'd be cool.>>540588501I have hawken too but I can't play it the servers are shut down for me (on PC)>>540588542if you use @export variables and drag and drop into them on the inspector in the UI, then you can move and rename stuff in the file editor and it will auto-update everything for you
>>540576789>Guy got 1000+ reviews using a free 1 bit asset pack.That's just being smart. The reason you're seething is because you didn't think of it and now if you do it you're making a clone. Making smart use of an asset pack to make a good small scoped game is one of the fastest ways to find success as an indie.
>>540587481>gets another fanartAwoken is the most popular agdg dev, fanartlets will never recover
>>540589508It's the other way around, as far as I can tell. And I prefer to refer to them as the Inner Circle, not the disscord.>>540589858is this AI?>>540590220we have the most highly esteemed male turkish crossdressers, does that count?
>>540590929https://hawakening.com/
>>540590541The only reason we are forced to used Windows is because many developers do not build their software for anything but Windows. The only reason many developers neglect to build their software for anything but Windows is because they see that it covers most of the market. It's a vicious cycle that Microsoft perpetuates so that they can continue to fuck you in the ass.As a responsible developer, you should help end the monopoly. It starts with us.
>>540591154i made a loonix build for both my releases it's like 1% of sales and one guy spammed me with issues that i forwarded to the engine i use, overall it was more annoying than anythingi would try to get it steamdeck ready but i hate valve and wont buy a steamdeck from my own pockets, as matter of principle
>>540591154>https://hawakening.com/I will break the cycle. However, only on one condition. That linux introduces full support for desktop.ini files, I will accept if they are called .desktop.ini to make them invisible by default seeing as linux filesystem doesn't have the +H attribute. Also, I think that .lnk files for similar should also be present. XDG .desktop files don't cut it. If linux will not bring desktop.ini files allowing me to rice out my filesystem collection and freely distribute it pre-riced-out in .zip archives, then they just aren't ready for the prime time (yet).
>>540591021>we have the most highly esteemed male turkish crossdressers, does that count?am i speaking on behalf of myself? then noam i speaking on behalf of israel? then yes
AAAAAAAAH CURVED CEILINGS ARE FILTERING ME
>>540589340kino
>>540591005all gamers want is an appealing fantasy to immerse themselves in while they playthey're desperate for anything that allows them to escape from their 9-5 debt slave wagecage livesthis is why isekai is so popularmoney = appeal = narrative = fantasy = escape
>>540591503I was told that trenchbroom is based on boolean / CSG type stuff, so see if they have a cylinder primitive, and if so, see if you can use that to cut out an area with a circular ceiling, then add the walls and floor back in with rectangles.otherwise, you are not actually using doom or quake or whatever, are you? You are using unity or godot? then just leave the cieling open and place a circular cieling in that spot in the game engine editor to noclip into that place of the loaded trenchbroom meshes. you could even place it inside trenchbroom somehow as you should find some kind of workflow where you can define props in the game engine that should export to trenchbroom as placeables, then in trenchbroom you can place a marker for it and it loads with the full asset in the game engine loaded the trenchbroom map, you'll need to figure that out to add enemies and ammo pickups and stuff from trenchbroom anyway"simple" things like archways are a thing only map masters can do in the quake days, which is what trenchbroom is based on. I wouldn't waste a second on it, it's not what it was made for, using the wrong tool for the job. I been told that trenchbroom isn't meant to into curved geometry.
>>540589028Because making that sort of art style look good is a lot of work. It requires some high level shader magic and good LODs to make things in the distance look right. And of course you need to be able to produce the assets.
>>540588104nta but missions are meh, like a throwaway test scenes repurposed for levels, arcade level is definitely the best part of the game but again it has a lot of weird textures and lighting issues.Enemy models are good though.
>>540591714what gamers actually just want is purposeand usually when a game flops, it is because the game either does not have a purpose, does not communicate its purpose well, or inspire purpose. i have never seen this not be the case.
It takes YEARS to learn to draw bros... AHHH
>>540588729wonned*
50 minutes so far.
>>540591826Yeah I duplicated it but joining it takes the shortest path between points so it adds geometry on CSG join. there has to be a better way but it's good enough for now.
>>540592064what purpose does vampire survivors have?
Does your game have fascist design elements?
>>540592292>Does your game have fascist design elements?
>>540592210Now THAT's efficiency. Keep it up—you're doing good work.
>>540591714>money = appeal = narrative = fantasy = escapeNarrative isn't necessary. Unless you mean narrative in what is already explained by fantasy. Most anons here fail to deliver on this. Something to think about.
>>540592210cris, you can make it work but you have to do lo-fi vhs horror like, only schizogame can work with this type of graphics.
>>540592292The only game I have played that could fit this description and isn't a movie game, is Silksong.Silksong does not let you get strong, so you have no choice but to get good...
>>540589028If dragons heaven was made today you would call it a naive tranime slop with style over substance and blatand fan service for zoomers (uhh I hate zoomers so much amerite?)
>>540592340>>540592292I feel that my game has antifascist design elements. Save any time you want. Dying does not strip you from a lot of progress and sometimes unlocks hidden level. You can beat the game by violent or non-violent means.
>>540592281you aren't thinking big picture enough. it's purpose from the perspective of the individual; this can mean fulfilling a narrative (often, but not always, provided by the game), and it can also mean fulfilling you own intrinsic goals. vampire survivors is fast, simple, and at any given point you always know what you have to do. this makes for an appealing game to a lot of people.
It's a huge pain to try to create broken shapescoming up with smart places to break off the trenchbroom map and add odd bits via hand placing could go a long way.
>>540592292it really is insane that any kind of filtering is being considered fascist now, like what an insane idea and what an insane distortion of the concept of fascism, not that it ever had a very coherent meaning anyway but what causes this type of brain damage?
i like ita bit of polish and hes done
>>540592281Vampire Survivors is like an old arcade game. Is it complex? No. Is it deep? No. Does it have depth? Not really. But sometimes you don't need all that just want to kill time with some quick and fun.
>>540592739There isn't a single answer, feminism wants the removal of male spaces, modern progressives want the removal of female spaces, mothers want their children to invite their bullies to their birthday parties, participation medals, open borders etc etc. It is the trend of our times.
>>540590929I have to agree, the graphics and the effects are just inconsistent visually, and the environments are barren.
>>540592392>>540592396I mean, the speed improvements are nice, but not good enough end results to my idea.
>>540592830>is it deep>does it have depth
>>540593136Looking a little 3dguy-like there.
>>540593169lmao i didn't even notice that when i read that anon's response. i get what he's saying but it does look silly
>>540593225my previous method is cheaper and faster and much better.
>>540593414nice workflow
>>540592739It's really crazy how you can pull it on anything. No men in women's restroom? Fascist. Wearing suit in a black tie event? Fascist. Eating ice cream with a spoon? Super-fascist.
>>540593879this is true, everybody knows men are supposed to eat ice cream with a spork, and then the cone
I will be selling AI marketing automations to businesses for 10k. Gamedev is fun, but useless. I need to get me a Tesla
>>540593698now, a manual upscale to the 64x64 texture, and some Krita edit and blender retouch.And it took 10 minutes so far to texture this.
>>540593879i mean idk how genuine you're being but people were literally rioting in my city calling my president a fascist because he was enforcing the country's extremely permissive immigration laws
>>540587481nortubel's real name might be henrique
>>540594216oh you're an american, hopefully making games there is less restrictive than the uk
>>540594216I am being serious in a sad way. People throw that word around like it has no meaning. Anyone says there are rules for not letting me do what I want to do? Fascist. But anyway, not gamedev, so I'll stop here.
>>540594318i don't think there are any restrictions on vidya here except ones imposed by (((corpos)))
>Burgers and Bongistanians talking about their problems like anybody cares
>>540594391i can report with confidence to everyone here that not only is that not happening, but technology will never reach that point
shartdew tranney moment
>>540594351What's your game?
>>540592739>but what causes this type of brain damage?leftism and feminism
Ever since I've become a yesdev I get the urge to post bocchis and anime girls in gamedev threads.
>>540594710>Ever since I've become a yesdev I get the urge to post bocchis and anime girls in gamedev threads.
JOEYFYGOONthats it, thats the xeet
>>540594589you're playing it right now ;-)
I only have maybe three days of work until the base of my game is done. Then I have a few weeks of polishing to do. Then I begin working on the promotional material. This should take a few weeks at most. My entire game should be ready for the market by December. I am excited.
>wake up>someone demands money you dont even remember owing
>>540594748Ah, a nodev... i see XD
I need a bocchi posting guide
I need a fygoon posting guide
>>540594710>bocchi faggot troon pretends to be a yesdev
flashbang has been textured.
>starts with pong
>>540595697very very fun, makes me think of warioware (and i really do mean that as a compliment)
oh my HECKING science you have to start with pong, because...................... JUST BECAUSE OKAY?!!!!
Something I noticed in this general is that alot of people start talking about their games when something design related gets mentioned but they never actually post it.
>>540592064Gamers should raise a family then
>>540592771Kino-bear. Looks really good.>>540592696I need to get Pro builder, it's not the same as trenchbroom but it's decent enough.Anyhow, I re-added the DD54 camera.
>>540595954The funniest thing about people who seethe about the Pong advice is that they never come up with a rebuttal on why it's bad advice.
>>540596032i do not disagree but that is neither here nor there, i'm just stating the facts of the case
>>540596040Wait, I forgot about a key factor, rotating the camera with movement. Let me adjust.
>>540596048a nodev troon has been spamming it here in the last 2 weeks, thats it thats the rebuttal xeet
>>540595676I would make this parts pitch black with max roughness
>>540595954"pong" is a shorthand for something, anythingyou have to start SOMEWHERE.you could make mario instead of pongor tetrisbut if you remain paralyzed in the choice part of what to start making, you will never start.
>>540595447Is this the latest nodev cope?
>>540596224nigga i released 2 games and im working on my third, keep your garbage nodev troon advice to yourself there are no books, no gimmicks, no podomoro technique, no course, no youtuber that can help you, and yes that includes your trannoid mantra about pongleave this jobby, you aint built for it
>>540596163Why do you assume anyone who says it is the same person? I posted "start with pong" at some point.
>If you want to learn how to bake, you should make something small like brownies or cookies>Acceptable>If you want to learn how to draw, you should draw something simple like flowers or basic shapes>Acceptable>If you want to learn how to make video games, you should code something simple like Pong or breakout>NOOOOOOOO THAT'S BAD ADVICE, YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO HOLD ME BACKWhy are game devs like this?
>>540596482why do you think the pong advice would apply to somebody who has already made games? why did you feel personally attacked by it?sounds like you are pretty insecure about your skills tbdesu
>>540594391two more weeks
There are too many video games, the market is oversaturated.
>>540596598this is the first time i'm seeing this bit, but i will say i definitely don't think pong is to gamedev as brownies are to baking. if i could give child me one project to teach him how to do shit, it'd probably be to make a simple gameboy emulator
