Do you care if people enjoy your game?
>>540696807>Do you care if people enjoy your game?
>>540696807No, I just care if people buy my game
I care if people enjoy my game.
so I have a capsule that can walk around on a cube and double jump, (and a camera that can rotate around it), what now?
>>540697263Draw the rest of the owl
>>540697263What comes to mind?
>>540697302I am not sure...
>>540697357Ask your AI
>>540696752i look like this
>>540697481I don't use AI for that.
>>540697263now start adding the rest of your game...you do have a game, right?
>>540697656Umm... no? I simply wanted to make a game inspired by the games of my childhood (mainly 3D platformers, with some RPGs sprinkled in)
>>540696752Her legs are bothering me, they're built like hoofs, they don't slim down towards the foot where muscles become tendons.
I'm starting to realize that the code I'm writing might be a premature optimization, but I'm too deep in just to delete it, so now I have to finish.
metrics, inventory
I'm sick of looking at my game all day
>>540697735>Umm... no?uh oh
good morning*scrolls this thread**notice tranime nodevs polluting it with garbage*yep, another thread, another proof fygoon was right
is there a way to in godot to get the angle of a ledge so that i can align my player with the ledge
>>540699194
>>540699231Aim a raycast at the ledge and get_collision_normal
>>540699291this could be a reply to a good 80% of nu/agdg/ posts and it would be right, your point? if you dont want fygoon to be right dont prove him right
https://youtu.be/GnpTlgoS4eAi'm sorry but i have no idea what people enjoy about these games
>>540699194*teleports behind you*nothing personnel, kid
>>540699386how do i convert that into global_rotation.y for my player
i mean i guess i understand the design of itcreate an arbitrary goal and a fail statelet the player gamble for itemsif the player gets good items they reach the goalif the player gets bad items they failto add complexity, add item combinationsto add juice, just spam screen shake, UI jiggle, particle effects, and sound effectsto maximize appeal, design the goal around something people understand, like making money or winning card games or leveling up soldiers and fighting goblinsthis seems to be the basis of this rng gamble slop formulabut i truly feel zero joy while playing these sorts of gamesi would never be capable of designing a game like this, my execution would be horrible
no that's probably wrong, i truly have no idea where the joy in these games comes from
>>540699546Basis.looking_at(normal).get_euler().y
>>540699753i can't seem to get it to work... sorry
>>540668094>You know what? Maybe I don't actually want to make a video game. I think somewhere along the line my brain confused my interest in coming up with video game ideas with an interest in creating video games from scratch. One of those things takes virtually no effort, the other takes months to years of work to see anything realized. I don't think I'm cut out for this.This is great anon. You have been freed from this delusion which allows you to move on and figure out what you actually want to do and can do.
>>540699387
>>540699852I tried simplifying it for you, but there are other parameters. You should stay in school and actually learn math instead of trying blinding copying a list of function calls some random anon hands you without even bothering to try to figure out what any of them mean.
>>540698651wtf is this please explain my brain is incredibly smooth
You know what? Maybe I actually want to make video games. I think somewhere along the line my brain very clearly understood that I'm interested in creating video games from scratch, not just coming up with video game ideas. One of those things produces no results, the other is a craft that is worth pursuing. I think I'm cut out for this.
>>540658629What has he accomplished exactly? His helicopters will never fly because he doesn't understand the fundamentals of the science that makes them fly. He won't stumble upon them by accident by making things that he thinks qualify as helicopters. He's a 75 IQ retard in a population where the average is 60 so he thinks he's better than them while failing to understand that he too is retarded. Because of this false belief he's wasting his entire life on something that won't result in anything. He will never accomplish anything as long as he continues on that path.
>>540699721Low IQs like you wouldn't get it. It's like when Bobby Fischer got so sick and tired of playing regular old boring static chess and tried to fix it by adding in randomization.
>>540700339do you get it?
>>540700070oof okay, just trying to learn by doing I guess.
>>540700369Yes. Roguelikes are games about estimating expected value of choices. They are games about optimization under non-perfect-information conditions. Variance decreases as sample size increases. Even a retard like you can randomly stumble upon a victory condition, but you'll never be able to win as consistently as an actually skilled player.
lock in sisters!
gambling addicts are mentally ill. This is truly the vodka plague of the American century
>>540700418I'm sorry you might actually be retarded. He told you to learn things instead of blindly copying and trying to bruteforce your way through (read the docs, stupid), and your takeaway was... to blindly copy and bruteforce your way through
>>540699721nta but the only thing to get is law of large numbers lol. Games with RNG unironically take as much skill as anything else, that's why poker and card game tournaments are always the same people
>>540699994
Dude move_and_slide ignores physics material completelywtf is the point of the material then
>>540700736>>540701019it's just memorizing builds and hoping for good lucknot fun at alldo people find this stimulating?
>>540700893I... know how to read docs. I just dont have the formal education to know things like vectors and angles and atans by default. so don't background shame other devs please, yes some of us are stupid and we dont just "come" with pre-knowlledge of how to solve any math problems
>>540701108High IQs enjoy simple but deep games. Low IQs enjoy complex but shallow games. You'll never get it.
>>540701108it plays itself while your brain does nothing. That's all that some "people" want
>>540701173>simple but deep>>540701180fuck that shit
>>540701108for me, the fun comes from experimenting with off meta stuff as a form of improvement.
>>540701054They're for RigidBodies which are completely controlled by the physics engine. CharacterBodies are kinematic meaning that you're supposed to manually program any kind of physical response you want out of them for maximum control and a tighter gameplay experience.
>>540701252now that's understandablebut i might suggest you play PvP games instead, as the dynamic behavior of other humans is much less predictable and much more fun to engage with and formulate theories ondon't be scared of mechanical skill or learning curves, if you enjoy experimenting for improvement, you'll have fun even while you're a shitter
If you play gambleslop I don't consider you humanIf you make gambleslop I consider you a demonic servant of satan
you either have fun reciting solutions, or discovering themyou know which one you areand you know which games you enjoy
>>540701389oh don't get me wrong I only play pvp gamesbut if I had to play a single player game I'd probably enjoy a balatro-like as much or more than a last of us-like for example
>>540701389PvP isn't as fun for turn-based games because you'll have to wait on your opponents turn and force a time limit. Popular PvP roguelikes need to be built around async matches like in Backpack Battles and the entire autobattler genre.
>>540700140audio workflow app maybe, hard to pin down
>>540701350Sorry about that, it feels like you already answered this in the past and it's probably in the docs. just not in th CharacterBody3D docs.
where are the antinatalism games?

>>540703657yeah, we sell crack.
God morning sirs and dears
>>540703534A broken clock still trvkes the world twice a day>>540703494making games is a generative activity. It's utterly unlike playing games

>>540703494only if you lack self control
>PacMan>Slither.io>Flappy Bird>Tetrisand many more. Simple games are making a killing, while you overengineer your game
>>540703657true, never got into any guitar hero and speedrunning a game is a cancerous activity. I can maybe understand practicing to be good at MP game to win bigly prizes, but at the same time your skill is completely dependant on the developer's control, when they rebalance the game, change moveset or patch it in any meaningful way then half of your accumulated skill is evaporated and you need to readjust. tl;dr never forget that games are pastimes and should never be treated too seriously

If you wish to make a game, you have to start here.https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/Instruction_reference
>>540704585>constant offsetsWhat exactly do you mean by this?
game dev is like playing the lottery and you get unlimited tries to win a prize
it seems much easier to design your game if you fully flesh out the story firstthe gameplay systems will come naturally if you know what sort of fantasy/appeal your game will lean towardstrying to design a game before you understand the story is like trying to climb a ladder with missing rungs
anybody here ever made rope swinging in godot 3d?
>>54069589690% of your advertisement is your product, but don't act surprised if your game fails when the remaining 10% is nowhere to be seen. Game has to exist in the minds of your potential customers before they can buy it. Now tell me if pic rel is memettic enough.
>>540703534I consider myself a grinder, and I sleep 10hrs/day. I find time to exercise and eat well. My body is a machine that converts calories into video games, and all machines perform best with proper maintenance.
this gives me mayo vibes so i aint reading it but maybe you freakazoids do be interested in it

>decide to make an RPG>want to have a simple climbing system, slowing down when going up hill, bonus damage when fighting from the higher ground etc>whenever I make one thing work, another thing breaks>game was meant to be "isekai" style, where the game understands that the player is actually a player>amplified with two mock players that were supposed to be AI governed with limited action memory and able to have a conversation>they'd acknowledge that NPCs are actually NPCs, they'd grow and react to the player and their actions>get overwhelmed since I have no experience gave devving and there are so many things that I need to learn>decide to write a book insteadSolo devs are godlike beings. The amount of time, effort and talent needed to make any piece of shit game is absolutely ridiculous
planning your game counts as productivity
>>540705367It's not possible with the built-in ParticleProcessMaterial, but you can write that logic in as shader code. Right-click -> Convert to ShaderMaterial as a starting point. All you need to do is spawn as an angle proportional to INDEX rather than a random angle.
https://youtu.be/LsTBri_K8iI
Hi, I would like one dev fren, pls
>>540705509Planning your game only counts as productivity if you're an experienced yesdev and have the technical knowledge to know what needs to go into constructing a video game. Nodev planning is pure delusion.
>>540705650at some point the individual should be honest enough to admit that they're not accomplishing anythingthere's no reason to plan a game that you can not makeskill issue on their behalf
the only reason i play games is to feel strong
I have already finished a game before so I can ideaguy as much as I want
video games are funbusiness is boringvideo games dont make moneybusiness makes money
>>540705508>>decide to make an RPGYeah I can tell you made a mistake from right there. There's a reason 90% of indie RPGs are RPGMaker shit, RPGs have way too many systems interacting with each other, you need an entire team for it or to use an existing template.Your idea is cool though, I had a similar one though gave up for similar reasons. Drop your book's name here when you finish it, I'll read it.
>>540706108Game development is not a game.
What would you do if your game flopped?
>>540706165then why its fun?

can we go back to wholesome gamedev discussion? youre polluting your soul/psyche with that garbage
I realize that releasing games for niche players will never pay as much as releasing porn games for niche fetishes.How can I avoid shit like >>540705363 where some mentally ill X (formerly twitter) tranny will dox me and send my work to family because I did not add xer's favorite pronouns?The two biggest issues will be the domain name and hosting purchase, and receiving patreon shekels or whatever (I hear patreon is bad for this now because it bans you if it doesn't like your work).Who here is a yesdev with forbidden games under his belt?
>>540708168There's no such thing as wholesome discussion
>>540707750kinoif fygoon gets good at cutscenes i can imagine him generating interest in his gamecutscenes are OP for promotion, learn this skill if you want to gain fans>>540707961>>540707249>>540706984it seems a hacker convinced the devs to give him a dev build of the mod, then he released it on twitter with a virus, stole user data, and scared the devs into abandoning the projectnot sure of any more specific details but this is what i found from looking it up online17bucks is a dev team that makes mods for friday night funkin, a quirky rhythm game

>>540708276>it seems a hacker convinced the devs to give him a dev build of the moda lot of recent hacks come from social engineering rather than "traditional" hacking, like hackers getting access to github repos and such, strange times you'd expect maintainers to be smarter
>>540708556stimulation slop, making teenagers autistic, very dangerous
I just need 0.00000000000000000000000001% of global games revenue. Is that too much to ask?
>>540708859depends on how seriously you take it
Trying to actually create an actual game now.I am almost happy with the level of graphics I can do with the engine now, but I think it needs a little more.

>>540709156i wouldn't venture as far as to call this individual a retard, or to, even jokingly, imply that causing harm upon him would be of any virtuebut i would state that his outward appearance could be an indication of deeper internal conflictexisting as a man in a highly technocratic, digitalized and socially isolated society with minimal room for financial maneuverability, indulging in such extremes of personality traits and hobby pastimes is a last-resort attempt at finding joy or deeper meaning, commonly through fantastical escapism and distraction through stimulationthis man could be any of us, should fate serve against our whimsit is easier to fall than it is to rise
>>540708197I specifically decided to try and make a the pr0n game of my dreams, and it will specifically shit on furries and trannies.
>>540708678Expect more of that in the age of AI.Today people who write kernel code and assembly sit side by side with people who gave their homework to chatgpt.If you aim for competence, you will be a GOD amongst men.
>>540708197I think your biggest risk would be the social platforms. Discord, Patreon, Twitter, etc, can provide risks for social engineering. Steam does not disclose personal information. I tried to gain information about a specific developer, and failed. Your developer email might disclose your personal name if you use it while creating the account. The biggest danger to anonymity as a developer is getting tricked into revealing personal information through social scenarios, or by accidentally including personal information on a platform that presents it to public users. Double check any platform that has payments, such as Patreon, as personal information could possibly be revealed through tax documents if requested; I am uncertain how true this is.Don't get scammed on Discord, Twitter, Patreon, etc.Don't accidentally reveal personal information on any of your accounts while creating them.Don't get legally doxxed through court procedures on platforms with payment processors.
>>540710059>I tried to gain information about a specific developer, and failed.
>>540710409I found what I was looking for, but not through Steam. I had to look elsewhere. If you don't publicly post your personal information on Steam, you don't have to worry about getting doxxed. It's a very secure platform, not accounting for the risk of a data breach.
>>540706984>why would anyone bother to stalk devs and go such big lenghts just to learn something about a random mod to a random gameI've seen crazier in my time.
>>540706984schizos are genuinely insanethey probably reported the sexual content of the mod to the dev's family members, big trouble if they're conservative or religious (stop drawing porn of we'll kick you out, you'll be homeless, etc)stimslop
>>540709156>friday night funkin is a rhythm game with mostly static imagesand it got popular...?
I'm glad my entire family cut me off in 2020 because our disagreement on two big happenings that year. I'm safe from schizo nodev blackmail tactics
>>540708197>where some mentally ill X (formerly twitter) tranny will dox me and send my work to family because I did not add xer's favorite pronouns?Getting doxxed is really difficult if you're not retarded because the kind of person petty enough to dox and threaten porn devs is usually either underage or disabled.Use alts for everything and don't link to personal info.>The two biggest issues will be the domain name and hosting purchaseDon't worry about having a website. >and receiving patreon shekels or whatever (I hear patreon is bad for this now because it bans you if it doesn't like your work).Avoid Patreo and use SubscribestarYou'll need a following on social media like X or you'll be ghosted by reviewers.You're worried about retarded shit when your goal is to make a living.
>>540708981if you used godot you would already have a game

>>540711524that's not really true, right now dev has the perfect understanding of his engine and how it works, any obscure bug would be easier to track down and debug, also godot is a different beast with nodes and what not.
>>540711840he has the perfect understanding of his engine, yet no understanding of what his game will be, is it really worth it?

>>540712945>abandon it>finish it as bare bones as possible>make it a game you believe in and others toothose are your options. decide.
>>540712968I see... well that was a massive oversight, but you gotta admit, designing AAA levels in godot just goes to show how powerful and convienient it is.
>>540712968>>540713163They used godot to build the level editor that players would use, so something like the Warcraft 3 editor.Often the big problem with releasing the tools the devs themselves used is licensing as studios use a lot of third party tools.Making an editor in something like Godot solves that problem and also the problem of upkeep and support as the users can update the tools themselves instead of expecting a patch for the editor when the game is ten years old.

>>540719258You're not that good with this whole genetics thing, are you?Sleeping only 2 hours a night wasn't in particular an advantage when 8 hours a day were always in complete dark and you couldn't do shit anyway.And more important than having an advantage, is, you know, reproducing. Nikola Tesla died a virgin while ugly, balding men who sleep 10 hours a day have dozens of children. Evolution doesn't work the way you think it does.
I have AI teaching me math I forgot from high school and so far it's better than any teacher I ever had. I can be super dumb and it will keep dumbing down things for me until I get it.I can't imagine how easy it would have been to learn programming if I had AI instead of having to learn from books like picrel.Of course now AI can also code and solve math problems so there's not much point in learning (contrary to the common saying, knowledge is NOT power).I just wish I had better teachers or that there were more fellow dummies in my class.
>>540719762on the plus side, nobody has to learn from books anymore
>>540719743evolution works exactly the way I think it does. whatever trait is advantageous for survival and reproduction will tend to evolve. so sleeping 2 hours a day was obviously NOT advantageous, which is exactly what I wrote.>b-but we have lights now so we can do shit in the darkwe were able to start fires for a million years or so which is enough to evolve any trait that could arise in someone like Tesla as an accidental mutation.

Do you drink coffee aggies? >How many cups?>Do you get coffee crashes?
>>540720594>>540719762KEEEEEK
>>540720691I'm drinking my morning cuppa rn. I typically only drink one cup a day, maybe 2 if I'm at work where the coffee is weak hotplate slop.I don't notice caffeine crashes, but I do sometimes get a headache if I don't have caffeine for over 24 hours.
>>540720691I drink coffee tactically, only when I need to be awake and alert and I know I won' be able to.When I was drinking coffee daily I built a tolerance for it and it didn't have much effect. Now I can drink a cup right before my bedtime and stay up working effectively for 6 hours. I just can't do it regularly because it will build tolerance.Keep your coffee boost as a reserve for when you need something extra.
>I will never be smart or talented enough to make a tactics game.
>>540721293at least you will avoid the agdg tactics curse
>>540720212>whatever trait is advantageous for survival and reproduction will tend to evolveNot at all. You're thinking in reverse because through cultural and pop-science osmosis you got sold the reverse version of how evolution works, because it's shorter to say than the real thing. But don't worry, i'm here to help youhere's a very basic breakdown of how evolution works:>a child is born with a random roll of mutations (you should make a roguelike about this)>some of those mutations are VERY SLIGHTLY advantageous, and others are VERY SLIGHTLY disadvantageous>organisms with bad mutations will on average die or otherwise fail to reproduce 0.00001% more often>repeat this for 1 million gorillion years and you have evolvednotice how important is the fact that each mutation only gives a very slight edge, and the actual change happens over million of years. This is true even for organisms who reproduce and mature much faster than humans, like insects that live for a few months only.Humans live for a centuryHumans have been around only for a few million years and before that hominids, with ZERO need to do ANYTHING in nighttime, as there was no artificial light or worthwhile tasks to do at night. So of course we evolved to hibernate at night. Artificial light and the concept of doing shit at night has only been around for what, a few centuries?This is not to mention that humans don't really evolve anymore, because whatever mutations would have given a hominid ape an advantage, in human society is nullified by the fact that human mind can just go baller and reject all of that shit. i. e. women will date and procreate with disabled weak and poor niggas and NOT select based on genes, nor do genetics help or hinder your success in life (many retards especially on this website will still claim that this happens, but it doesn't).so enjoy your 8 hour sleep and make the best of it instead of yapping about things you don't understand... fucking faggot

So some of you are very familiar with Megabonk success. Well let me tell you, you could have your break too. You just gotta make Megabonk but underwater or in the sky. Instead if being a platformer, it's a full 3D environment.think about that before anyone does it.Dont say I didnt warn you. Farewell
spent time drawing the fake title/main menu screen for entering into the dungeon areas, now called Ultra DungeonI wanna make the loading even faster
>>540721860idk... megadonk is a bit too shallow compared to the more goated roguelite/autobattler-likes (aka northernlionlikes) [which is also why he didn't play it]
>>540720691one coffee and a rolled cigarette soon as i get my ass out of bed after masturbating, then an hour sat there listening to shitty indie music while i smoke and drink my coffee, splash my face with water, make another coffee then take a shit, then open godot and stare at it for a few moments before i go do the household choresthen i sit and listen to music and smoke weed, getting no gamedev done, after sleeping 12 hours do it all again
>>540721932Megabonk has better build variety that RoR2I don't know if RoR2 is fucked or I was bad(I won ror1 multiple times on the diff below monsoon)but I never beat RoR2 while I was able to understand and do well on bonk within few runsaccessibility + content + presentation(looks and polish) make it a great game for casuals.
>>540722129I want to make a game about your life.
>>540722234picture an annoying faggot behind every post in this thread
>>540720691I'm drinking my first cup nowprior to this I was drinking tea
>>540722234there's a game about being a depressed NEET and having to do chores and basic hygiene to get your life together. I forget what it's called. Unfortunately the main character is a woman so the whole premise in completely unbelievable.
>>540722234>pixelshit indie rpg about depression
>>540722686Y'all niggas need to get new material. This shit is so 2014, I haven't heard of a new "game about depression" coming out in close to a decade. Unironically at this point it would be dating to make a game like that.
>>540722831>I haven't heard of a new "game about depression" coming out in close to a decadeThat's probably because depressed people are bad at marketing their games.
>>540722951>release game>marketing video is your own suicide>enjoy the game guys!
>>540722831you haven't heard of one because they suck and don't blow updelusional devs still make them, thinking they have something interesting to say in art, narration, and game designthey don'tsame with 2d and 3d shartformers
>>540722951or have killed themselves
>>540720212>whatever trait is advantageous for survival and reproduction will tend to evolve.Only if it gives a clear edge over other genes, and if environmental conditions are favorable for those genes.What I mean is, Neanderthals were taller and more intelligent than Homo Sapiens, but homo sapiens were more aggressive, so they exterminated Neanderthals because they were different.Does that mean intelligence and being tall are not "advantageous" traits? They are, but obviously you can't look at it in isolation, there's a much bigger picture.And you also have stuff like balding, where it's an obviously ugly trait and women avoid selecting for it, but it only shows up past the point where children were made.

>>540704871>>540718156I have a theory that they were actually sleeping only during deep part of the cycle, while mixing NREM part with waking life, often encountering things like hypnagogia and getting wild ideas from it

It's the entire reason I choose to come to this website, I want to get a glimpse into your lives. There isn't enough media out there where the main character is a miserable boring piece of shit living in squalor.>>540723064You seem very confident they're still being made. Care to give any examples?
>>540723170>poc>jewishno jew will recognize a shitskin as a jew
>>540721506>Not at all. and then you restate everything I wrote.let me dumb it down for you: being able to sleep only 2 hours a day were advantageous for survival and reproduction, anyone with that trait would have a higher chance of survival and reproduction, meaning their offspring would have a higher chance of having that trait, meaning over generations it would have become very common or universal.but it's not because it's not advantageous which is what I wrote here >>540719258

>>540725349This seems like a good thing to me. Literally all you need to do in order to get noticed by a youtuber or streamer is make a game that isn't just a carbon copy of something else. With the amount of slop thirdies are churning out for a quick buck I'm sure they're super fatigued from seeing the same games over and over.
>>540725349>police procedural gets great viewership>make police procedurals for 30 years>make money>game gets a lot of players>make a similar game 3 years later>you are creatively bankrupt and you deserve your failure
>>540725349Idk about what you said, but what is a Sllattercat and why should we care what they think
>>540724873I made my tooltips and descriptions not clip out of the viewport.
>>540725349Shut up fagoon
>>540725567I feel like I agree with this. The artist I work with I kind of give free reign to make designs as they see it with minimal changes from me despite it being my game. I got it in my head early on that I'm not an artist, just a good code monkey, therefore I should allow the artist to do her thing so it stays unique and non slop.
>>540725830>her
>>540725349
>>540725602Splattercat is the current gatekeeper of indie game success and has been for a while. He will play virtually any indie game as long as it has a good level of polish, and he's usually the first big youtuber to pick up on games before all the others do. He tends to gravitate towards RPG and strategy games over roguelite and incremental stuff.
You should all delete your projects and mourn your dreams like widows mourn their late husbands.It's the right thing to do.
>>540725642anon, with a UI heavy game, how often do you shit bricks when you see others in tutorials or comments suggest having a fucking canvas for every widget?
>>540725349>yesdevs like melol. lmao even.yesdevs do not say "I'm a yesdev"
>>540726027but i already know how the game should play, i just need to grind to make that game
>>540725830good boy ;)
>>540726027>you should kill your husband and then mourn him???
>>540726059Luckily I haven't used tutorials at all for this project.That said, my UI code is an abomination, but that's kind of how godot makes you do it. Almost everything is just shoved in hbox/vbox's that I just move around, and sometimes swap layers. So I can't judge.
>>540726007He gave glowing coverage to some big flops, notably https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhLjVG6f-pU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ldmj0XAODQbut it's pretty demoralizing how many great indie games there are that never hit 1000 reviews.
>>540725349Mongoldev here, I don't use AI, nigger I even post my process vids on YouTube.
>>540726428There's just too many games, the sad truth is that not everything is capable of getting thousands of sales. The "make smaller games" people were right, there's no sense in sinking so many resources into a game that might get swallowed up by the steam slop pile and forgotten. A trend I expect to see emerge within the next few years is indie games being released in incremental chunks. $4.99 for a few hours of gameplay, then a few months later a new chapter in the same game is released, then another. That way the devs are sinking too much time and energy into one big game, and if the first chapter succeeds then they can hopefully preserve some of that audience for the next chapter.
>>540726587Nice reading comprehension zoomie
>>540726587not talking about your schizo ass, some guy used to post here about maids or goblins or something, it was a coomer game i think and he got dogpiled by 'cord for posting progress dey didnt like, cant remember his name or the name of the game (im not sure he ever released a demo, i skip coomer shit)
>>540725349i wish there was a community for yesdevs only. progress is making less than 2% of the general right now

>>540732305It's not Fygoon, DevBroAnon made it clear in the last /gdg/Also, Fygoon did post in that thread with his classic 'sup image. They cannot be the same person since the 'sup image was posted shortly after a DevBroAnon post. You must be new to 4chan, because in order to prevent spamming there is a cooldown timer between posts. Since a DevBroAnon and Fygoon post appeared close to each other, they could not have been made from the same PC meaning they are two separate people.I swear, you schizos are all the same. Fygoon this, Fygoon that. You guys are obsessed.
>>540730978now make it so it eats the player and turns them into a crab
>>540730978>someone will fap to this
>>540732986Again, a childs worry. Your game is never going to be popular and you not be 'doxxed'. You're basically saying "I want to be no one and do nothing" which is fine, but like, leave here then because we don't need more nodevs.

>>540733186>don't be a baby, tell me what your game is so I can find your name, social media, home address because you couldn't afford to rent an office for your LLC
>>540733780I've never used godot for 3D but it's goated for 2D. I'm pretty sure there's a dev here with a decent 3D game in godot though. He was just posting about it yesterday. So honestly this is probably a skill issue
>>540733783see the problem is I have aesthetics nailed down only on this map, the rest 3 are looking like trash, too big of a scale. I don't know I feel like this is legit the only game I can do right now - an Army Men clone, what else could I do? FPS game? I need low poly models badly and these are not plenty on the internet
>>540733780>he posted it againI only use godot because they literally can't lock me out of my projects because they think I owe them money.
>>540734030buy a small plot of land somewhere in africa and register the LLC there, you'll need to hire a black to sit around all day on your plot of land though, $10 USD a year should feed and clothe him

>>540734132What’s the gameplay loop gonna be? Is it gonna be mission based like old shooters?Honestly it would be cool to play like an army men Elden ring where you’re in a big sandbox map exploring and upgrading your guy. And there could be a bunch of different colored army men factions.
>>540723461your people are the cancer that's eating away at our world
>>540734413yeah linear missions, just go in, shoot the bad guys, free prisoners, destroy something etc. Big sandbox map would be a lot of work, at least it seems like it, because I'm doing map modelling by hand, but I can see some of the N64 games generated their environments (Body Harvest, huge map) but I have no idea how to do that
I'm not sure if I should commit to a certain idea or not, since I have to choose to either do it now or never. Mainly since I would have to pay for certain aspects for it to have a good end result that's worth the time investment.

Recently (2-3 months ago) wanted to try making something as a codelet and non-drawfag. Got into RPGMaker and started learning how to make some stuff in it, bretty fun so far. Almost done a small demo project, only about 1-2 hours of content but still something. Though I was thinking that with some time and effort I could actually make a fully fledged RPG with around 10-20 hours of content, maybe a year of work or so.Problem is that as mentioned I can't draw for shit, so all the art, tilesets, CGs, etc would be either default assets or programmer art. You guys think it's worth working on something so long that I probably can't sell it for any money? I think I'd still have fun just completing something, but at some point in the future I'd like to be able to put up a project that's actually worth money. I've seen RPGMaker/Gamemaker games sell well but usually it's less the mechanics and systems, and more a unique artstyle and atmosphere that appeals to people.Alternatively, I was thinking of RETVRNING to my roots and making a porn RPGMaker game for some dosh on the side, but I don't know if I could recoup the money spent on getting an artist. I was thinking of using AI slop but... I dunno I'd feel kinda dirty selling that. Anyone here try making a porn game?
>>540734030>>don't be a baby, tell me what your game is so I can find your name, social media, home address because you couldn't afford to rent an office for your LLC
>>540735487Well then it wouldn't matter anyway, no one cares about those countries.
>it works
>>540735701nothng works, i give up
>>540726428He can't be right every time but targeting him as part of your target audience would be a fairly smart idea. If Northernlion is the one who features all the big slop, Splattercat is that guy but for deeper games. Of course he has some bias' but who doesn't.
>>540733186>Your game is never going to be popular and you not be 'doxxed'"Popularity" has nothing to do with it. It's so trivially easy to fuck with other people that schizos can and do it to strangers no one knows just because they can. I've seen whodevs that no one knows or cares about get their progress screenshots copied and spammed by impersonators.
>>540731261I don't want 4chan showing up on google when people google my game
>>540703989>making games is a generative activity. It's utterly unlike playing gamesIt's a creative pursuit, but it also carries with it a question of moral responsibility. Because, given the opportunity, I would inspire and educate people. If people just play your game like a drug, that truly does just make you a drug dealer. If all they do is play, you're a thief of life and a destroyer of personal growth. A social parasite. So there needs to be some point to it all. Or that's how I view it.
I like how the sky turned out on that one.Btw. check out the gun sounds on this old Duke Nukem gamehttps://youtu.be/vNMcR_GD3qU?si=oYmZ8R8Lep_TTrkP&t=11209fucking love this kind of generic shit, I wish there was a copy somewhere of old sound library for games and movies

If Godot was so good it wouldn’t need such rabid fanatics jumping to defend it. You don’t see UE or Unity folks doing this, because the engine speaks for itself. Godot users need to gaslight others so they feel better about their choices
>>540733780When you consider that Godot was literally shilled into the Unreal vs Unity discussion it becomes pretty clear that gamedev wasn't the objective. It has no fucking business being compared to either of those engines but it still comes up every time.

>>540739408FlyKnight at least submitted to demo day.Yomih shouldn't count as agdg. Yes, IvySly used to be on agdg but he left agdg before he made Yomih. Someone can be an agdg dev without all their games counting as agdg.
It's another>your game can't count as agdg unless you go through all the ngmi humiliation rituals like DD and release a flopepisode.
>>540739589am i considered agdg if i dont submit to demo day?
>>540739408yomih shouldnt be there either, at best you can have his rocket game he was working on while being hereelse you gonna have to add ror2 to the list
>>540739745>>540739795Trying to claim a game is not agdg is not an insult to the devs, it's about trying to prevent agdg from claiming undeserved credit. IvySly was successful because he left agdg and agdg does not deserve any credit for its success.

Man, making a devlog video is hard.
>>540739745shut up zoomer, i was there when the artist started shilling on here and /v/, they never posted progress here and only posted when they were about to releasebtw where is cookie clicker? orteil actually posted a little bit of progress before releasing and he was posting his infinite folder game here before, valhalla is not agdg your list is fake news

no one cares if you flop or not, if you didnt post progress here, didnt playtest and only posted just before releasing to get pity reviews you aint agdgsimple as

yeah this failed
>>540741558Thats progress, my friend
>>540741558just needs some blending on those edges and its good :steam_thumbs_up:
>>540737036The conversation is pretty simple. Jewnity gets taught on every gamedev course at every university, there are so many people that are familiar with it that Vampire Survivors was ported from Phaser to Unity simply because it's easier to do that and hire droves of Unity pajeets than it is to find or train a team competent Phaser devs to maintain it.There are plenty of amateurs using godot for game jam stuff but you have to understand that an indie studio is still a professional business that will hire graduates for jobs and not self-taught amateurs making a game in whatever way they see fit.It's like Adobe, there's plenty of other software for editing videos or doing graphic design, but Adobe software gets taught in schools and university. So Adobe and Unity Software can be absolutely odeous businesses and treat their customers like shit knowing full well that institutional inertia is stronger than loss of goodwill among the people who already have their entire careers and skillsets vendor-locked into your software

>>540743946the default fate for any solodev game is total failure. only exceptional games "make it" (ie earn more than minimum wage per hour invested).there's very few exceptional games being progressposted here. at this time I can't think of a single one in the past few weeks.landsword and busted metal although they might still never reach 1000 reviews.
I can't wait to make ay gee dee gee seethe on demoday again
>>540744543yeah probably will polybrush them later or something
>>540745010my game is exceptional
>>540744518>>540744776It doesn't though. If you look at all the games on the "games by /agdg/" list, the ones that never submitted to DD and the ones who submitted once and realized it was retarded and never submitted again outperform the ones that submit to DD multiple times. DD is for NGMI kenyan helicopter devs to roleplay as game developers (they're not). Feedback from DD comes from other larping NGMIdevs and is detrimental to a game's success.
>games like this get abandoned because they're commercially commercially nonviablethis is where we are.
>>540745535some games delete their DD entry so they don't appear eternally on itch in a huge list that blocks the view (there is no way to remove these entries after the DD)

>>540745535kind of trueI feel like demoday is a lot of games people grinded on for a couple months to make a working demo, then every DD they add a coffee table and press submit just to maintain their status as a "yesdev" that "has a game"
>>540746018yeah, I can't afford to work 3 years full time on a game that doesn't earn me 3 years of living expenses.
>>540746269>every DD they add a coffee table and press submit just to maintain their status as a "yesdev" that "has a game"i do that
>>540746567>yeah, I can't afford to work 3 years full time on a game that doesn't earn me 3 years of living expenses.Get a job then, nigger.
>>540746018Love can carry you through the first few hundred hours, but it takes at least thousands, if not tens of thousands of hours of hard labor to finish and release a good game.>>540746139That's just how things are. Indie gamedev is a type of small business start-up, and the vast majority of start-ups fail within the first few years, regardless of the industry.
>>540745639you're confusing the dev having talent to this not being a cashgrab project in the first placeno one's dream game is Lufthansa airlines simulator get real
>>540746139there is no fixing it, it's just the nature of entertainment. only a small number makes it while the rest get nothing.imagine if only the top 5% of surgeons or lawyers ever actually made a living from being a surgeon or being a cunt, no one would want to do those things.
>>540746653sorry I can't get a job or dev, much less both. I am only capable of telling others they should not dev.

>>540747104>imagine if only the top 5% of surgeons or lawyers ever actually made a living from being a surgeon or being a cunt, no one would want to do those things.That's why games are so shit nowadays. Your project doesn't even get NOTICED, let alone bought or make you a living. Only low-quality garbage makes any money. So all the passionate and creative leave the games industry, leaving only slop chasing jeets.This also explains how at best average games like Expedition 33 or Deltarune mindbreak the industry.
flygon was right
>>540747104It’s true even for lawyers and surgeons when you factor in how many try to be lawyers and surgeons but get blocked by law schools and med schools and bar exams and medical licensing exams, which intentionally filter out that bottom 95% to prevent them from getting false hope and becoming a starving lawyer or starving surgeon. Or at least that’s how it used to work. Law schools have been lowering the barriers of entry so we are starting to get bottom tier lawyers who can’t make a living as a lawyer.

If gamedev and entertaining people were easy to do it wouldn't be a lucrative endeavor.
This game was developed in 4 years by experienced ex-Relic developers and earned them the equivalent of a burger flipper salary. They're already back in the wage cage.This game couldn't reach 1000 reviews, what makes you think yours can?The market is broken, there's too much supply, not enough demand, and only the top 5% games will make it. Is your game at least the top 5% of agdg?

>>540747650You only think those successful games are “low quality garbage” to save your ego from admitting your game is bad. That “low quality garbage” is actually better quality than your game, or else it wouldn’t have been successful.I don’t say this to be condescending. I think I can safely say I have made the absolute worst published game in agdg because I have a lower number of sales than anyone I have seen who has posted their sales stats.

Normally I'd say 2D is just about better in every way, but it's really hard to beat the simple joy of exploring an environment in 3D, which I find especially compelling in first person. Tough call between the two.

>>540751369you don't have the means to make a compelling 3d environment, especially if you want your game to be more than 5 minutes long. Stick to 2d until AI catches up in terms of modeling and texturing.

>>540752175Sold approx. 260,000 copies back in 1999. Dont know if thats good or not
>>540743080>godot sucks dick while unity is actually good softwareThese people never post specifics. Even this >>540733780 copypasta is just "I'm not very familiar with it and also my feelings".Engine wars are so tiresome because it's always just lazy, no actual feature comparisons as to why one engine is better than the other, or visual examples of what people have done (progress), just pointless shitflinging
>>540752704it's still duke and it's still one of the best TPSes on N64, it's more of a statement about quality and standards.
>>540752495post the flappy birdlike that was released earlier and better and should have been successful in it's place. You might as well say tetris got lucky too.
>>540748361It looks really unfocused. Reviews say it has a ton of problems which makes sense considering it’s got a million systems jammed together.The big problem is how do you sell this game? It’s not really anything in particular it does so much while not going anything very deeply. People want depth and focus.
>>540745179The craters look wrong in this perspective because of the baked in lighting is so heavily directional on themAlso do them with a quad and add an alpha channel to the texture to fade it out in a circle shape so you can slap them wherever you want on the level
>>540751089>4 years of ex-AAA devs work>didn't even make a proper player controller for the main thing you do in the gameHow are people this stupid? If I was making a plane flying game, making that feel and look right would be the first thing to do. It would control like a proper plane before I got out of the capsule phase, but they didn't fix it or notice it was shit after 4 years?
>>540752729Only nodevs and beginner devs who got filtered by the first engine they ever tried post engine war bait. Just ignore it.
>>540748639It’s all about characters and consequences.Characters do things based on their needs and desires, informed by their character, and they enjoy or suffer consequences for those actions, informed by the setting. Also remember that everyone is acting all the time even if the focus is elsewhere to keep your world’s narrative active and alive.
>>540743080godot is the only engine worth investing in, unless you enjoy unreal releasing broken versions and unity changing it's tos
>>540753113Noted. Thanks for the help
>>540748361They stole an old /agdg/ idea but failed to execute on the fantasy and the gameplay. They thought Porco Rosso would be enough to carry the game but I think they failed to sell on that. I can see that the plane designs took a lot of inspiration from Porco Rosso but it just doesn't give that sense of adventure that the movie had and this type of game needs to have. Like how do you even make flying look that boring.

It works but it shouln't. Now I have to find out why and make it stop working so I can make it work properly.
But what I want to highlight here is the data:World population2010: 6.98 billion2025: 8.15 billion+16.8% growthInternet users2010: 1.97 billion2025: 5.59 billion+184% growthNew games released (PC + consoles)2010: ~4,000 (AI estimate: ~6,500)2025: ~27,000 (AI estimate: ~47,000)+575% growthTotal games available to buy/play (PC + consoles + mobile)2010: ~83,000 (AI estimate: ~120,000)2025: ~1,450,000 (AI estimate: up to ~2,000,000)+1,650% growthWhich in the end means:In 2010, there was 1 new game per ~492,000 internet users.In 2025, it’s 1 new game per ~207,000 internet users.That’s a ~138% increase in competition (fewer users per new game, harder to stand out).Total games per internet user:In 2010, there was 1 game available per ~23,740 people using internet.In 2025, it’s 1 game per ~3,860 people using internet.That’s a ~515% increase in density (more games per user, denser market).And you wonder why it’s so hard to stand out today?Even a few years ago, having 20,000 wishlists on Steam was amazing.Today, it’s barely enough to get noticed.These numbers show why breaking through is tougher but also why passion, polish, and community matter more than ever.
It doesn't work but it should. Now I have to find out why and make it start working so I can make it work properly.

I keep getting caught up on stupid shit. Like, "Should I rig up a second camera to line trace so my guns actually fire from their barrels instead of from the player POV camera?"
>>540760640I also do this. You’ll fit right in here.
>>540760868how is that stupid, that sounds extremely important
>>540758362i told her dad, and got away with it
>>540761693I don't know if you are larping anymore...
>>540761312It sounded stupid to me because I still have a half-understanding of the proper way to do all this. It sounds logical to set things up so the gun itself is the source for the hitscan trace, but all the tutorials on Youtube tell you to do it the other way. So I became doubtful and started questioning the reason for that.But logically, to me, I'd set up the line trace on a universal component fit to each weapon, then have that tied into both the firing function and a "laser sight".
>>540761916>It sounds logical to set things up so the gun itself is the source for the hitscan traceif you're using hitscan, then anything hit by a ray from the player POV should also be hit by a ray from the gun, because there's no projectile time. If there's an issue, it might be you aren't adjusting the angle of your gun correctly.
>>540164051I have an AI that pings me everytime someone mentions me on 4chan so I read late feedback posts from years ago. Whats interesting is 90% of bokudev related posts over the last 12+ months have been "I miss BokuDev era of agdg" Whats wrong? Aren't you enjoying this new era of AI spam, negative energy posts about the game industry, nodevs spamming 60% of threads radio'd to progress posts? Everyone used to shitpost me with negative comments here and when im gone for 99% of the time its the opposite. You don't know what you want But I think I should (since bokube should be done soon) progress spam it until its done since im close this time around).

This is my final progress related to portals, I had some problems with the bullets not going through it because they are very fast, but I managed to make it work. Portals are able to:- Transport the player between places seamless 99% of the time.- Enemies with some limitations can walk through them and follow you.- Holy hand grenades are working well.- Bullets can go through the portal and hit targets on the other side.Anyways, the reason why I made this is because some stages I wanna make need portals to create non euclidean geometry illusions, for example a big room inside a small cube.

>>540766872Making the box collider/trigger area bigger, because the problem is that I need a before position and an after position to know if the object pass through the portal, if the trigger is thin, then the fast bullet will be in one frame outside the collider and the next frame will already be too far from it, so the collision never happens.

>>540767091>They don't give a shit about quality, they want something that earns them more relative to how much it cost. All they care about is the bottom lineAnon, think about who you’re talking too here.Thirdies think like this too. They legitimately don’t understand doing something for fun or to achieve a vision, all they care about is chasing a financial return. In poor parts of the world the only reason to put effort into something is if it’s going to help you feed your family and keep a roof over your head.This is why nearly all important works of art and culture have come from the west. This is why the west has such a long history of hobby inventors and writers and musicians. Wealthy places have developed cultures of leisure, we understand that what one does in his free time doesn’t need to be turned into a “side hustle”. The enjoyment of the profess is the reward in of itself. Remember this the next time you see a third worlder calling someone a “nepo baby”. What they’re really angry about is that westerners have the luxury of pursuing hobbies like game dev without turning it into a second job and churning out soulless slop to farm pennies on the App Store.

One of those Youtube short Blender tips videos just taught me one of those "Oh, so that's how you do that thing I didn't know existed but constantly wished existed." things. V to rip vertices and Alt-V to split a vertex while retaining geometry.
>>540767809Got it What you’re showing here is a ramp shader, also called ramped lighting or toon ramp shading.In standard cel shading, you usually just threshold the dot product between the light and normal (e.g. if (dot > 0.5) light = 1 else 0).In ramp shading, instead of a hard cutoff, you use a grayscale ramp texture to remap the light intensity. That’s why you see a gradient strip in your shader graph — it allows smooth or stylized bands depending on how you paint the ramp.This is exactly the technique used in Team Fortress 2’s shading model, sometimes referred to as “half-Lambert with ramp” shading.Equivalent in Godot Shader Language (GLSL-like)You’d typically do something like this:shader_type spatial;uniform sampler2D ramp_tex : hint_albedo;void fragment() { vec3 normal = normalize(NORMAL); vec3 light_dir = normalize(LIGHT); float NdotL = max(dot(normal, light_dir), 0.0); // Half-Lambert tweak (optional, makes shading softer) float halfLambert = NdotL * 0.5 + 0.5; // Sample the ramp texture with light intensity vec3 ramp_color = texture(ramp_tex, vec2(halfLambert, 0.0)).rgb; ALBEDO = ramp_color;} So the name you’re looking for is:Ramp Shading / Toon Ramp Shading (Half-Lambert Ramp) — the style used in TF2.Would you like me to write you a full Godot 4 shader example that reproduces the TF2-style ramp shading?

>>540771208godont has its own shader language instead of using GLSL? LMFAOOOOO

I replayed stardew valley today to play coop and the amount of issues this game has is astounding. Nowadays it would get very bad reviews. I guess one angle is that games 10 years ago didn't hold up to the same standards as today and another would be that obsessing about perfecting the gameplay and polish is just stupid and you should focus on marketable things like having romanceable waifus.

Try to switch to UE5 from unity.Make a C++ class, hit the compile button. It takes 30 minutes. Computer heats up and dies.I thought UE5 was easier to dev.
remember when fygoon said that fanart was just a psyop to divide the thread and nothing more? he was right
