investigating a random bug that appeared in todays development of Bokube. "Speed bug" half of the levels in the game at random started to give boku super speed and the other half don't. Combing through the entire game to fix it level by level hopefully getting rid of this bug by the end of the night.
>>540772920notice how the people telling you to just use Godot are cool and chill and the people telling you not to use Godot are seething trannies
>>540773473im just a cool and chill guy not using Godot
>godot
>>540773464cool, can't wait to play this in 5 years. also your water looks fucked
>>540772909theres a website they used to share on /g/ where you could control a remote car toy using the browser and you could see the guys living in the appartament and shit
>>540773547>waterhis everything looks fucked vro
>>540773692that's because he has an ugly ass shader on top of everything making everything look fucked. doesn't matter because he's never going to release it in fear of failure
how long has bokube been in development?
>>540774030Almost 10 years.
>>540773547You like this one better? Its water at night-time so I'm not surprised you're mistaking it for water at day time in your head without knowing probably.
>>540773464Good luck
>>540774084so its probably pretty good and has a lot of depth to it?
>>540774107has nothing to do with night time or day time the first one you posted has an awful tiny repeating texture
Need to bake ze normals agane...
all the potential usernames for my studio are taken already
>>540774570>usernames>studiobrown man productions should be your studio name
>>540773473yes it's usually more fun and relaxing trying to sabotage people than trying to save them
how do I get a cool dev name like toby fox
>>540774172it's a mobile tier ripoff of captaid toad treasure tracker sir
During the "Sleep Spell" level, sheep now appear around the wizard's head if his combo gets high enough. And sometimes, velociraptors. Just 'cause.

>>540775023"Xofy Bot" is free i guess
>>540775023>>540775160Foxy Bot sounds better
>>540774107wtf I asked AI for a block pushing animal game and it didn't even give me mojito the cat?? WHat is this bullshit?
>>540772909testing
>>540775719holy shit, Bokube is on the top?! 100 reviews within a week guaranteed!
>>540775751I think I have more respect for the devs here who are spending years on a game they know no one will ever play. It seems more virtuous than chasing a popular trend or trying to make a widely loved game
pixelshit isn't real progress
>>540772653>he fell for the C++ meme
>>540774107>>540775418In case you didn't see.By the way, when's bokube releasing?
momberg gave me a loaf of banana bread :D

>>540774107>>540776453Its done right now but too many bugs and systems I need to fix. Its in dire need of playtesting but I have no real effective way of getting human playtesting without sharing the game and risking a leak onto the internet sadly.
Listen to the bear
>>540775751I’m somewhere between confused and dumb and confused
>>540775751Yes!
>>540776682I think your graphics could be improved. I think you could remodel or texture objects in the scene to be better right now. If you want to do that you should prioritize the objects the players will always see like the shotgun and food.
>>540776748your almost as annoying as fygoon

>>540777116>>arksync dev would be drowning in money if he just decided his robot's sidekick should be a loli instead of a teddybear
>>540776735You could do a real life playtest session but I think only studios can actually afford to do those. You should be more worried about the game having a big flaw you didn't see more than it getting leaked.
>>540776145>they know no one will ever play>DirkWhat are you talking about? I really like his game. The writing is good and the way the attribute system is implemented makes it very interesting. I only played one game with that mechanic once and I never noticed a difference.>>540775751I guess I'm tired
>>540776927Shut up fagoon

>>540774570Hiding behind a studio name when you're just one guy is retarded, you're not a studio, you're a solodev. Sign your work like any other artist would.
>>540772909Ok, after 7 months of diddling around, and getting familiarized with the process of game dev, I finally decided on two games I actually want to try to develop.One should be able to be done in less of a year, probably closer to half a year, due to clever simple artstyle, and simple game mechanics.The other one might take a couple years.If I don't Make It™ I'm livestreaming my self immolation exactly 4 years from now, to the date and hour.
>>540777367no clue what's going on but looks cool
>>540776682tell me about a creepy labubu, what does it do? Stress didn't go up, is it just a jumpscare?
>>540777589>One should be able to be done in less of a year, probably closer to half a yearMultiply it by PI
>>540777367Impressive, I saw your webms a long time ago, what game is this?
>>540777705>Multiply it by PII'm aware of the gamedev curse, I'm expecting them to take longer than stated, which is why the deadline for the self immolation is 4 years from now if I don't make it.

Cave Story has been out for long enough that people are going to start having nostalgia for it and an entire cottage industry of Cave Story-likes will pop up. All it’s going to take is one video essay on the game to get picked up by the algorithm and you’ll wish you had started your Cave Story-like sooner.

>>540778497i do this
>>540778038This already happened like 8 or 9 years ago
>>540778267soon, ive got some more pieces to assemble, but i really want to get to the tank attack animations which will include as many upskirts as i can possibly fit into them.
>>540776751this you?>>540776145Thanks, this is the most delicate way to present a criticism that your game is NGMI I've ever saw.>>540777252Thanks, but there's still a lot to do.
>>540778617Post the cave story likes?
>>540778497Your idea in your head: a mere shitpostYour idea in my head: a sublime visionI have reached levels of ideaguy that you can't even comprehend.
>>540778883It wasn't on a massive scale but I think alot of indie metroid vanias were trying to be like it.
>>540777367>>540778636is this a gatcha game? The barely disguised softcore pornography gives it away
>>540778038why people like this game anyway? It's just a barebone metroidvania. The only reason I can think of why it got popular because it was free.
>>540778636
>>540779367When it released the indie scene was unlike anything today. It was incredibly different.
>>540779339no. it's a fire emblem clone.
>>540779367You used to have to be a total wizard to make a video game on your own, let alone get it onto popular platforms and sell it.

I just realized that the best-written pop melodies are basically a three-section rhythm with a punchline, like telling a joke. And in each section there’s a kind of poetic rhyme, but instead of being at the end of the word like in poetry, it’s at the beginning.

>>540786660That's just what the blender viewport looks like when you zoom out I guess
Added a free 15 coins and a diamond to the bokube tutorial level so the player is forced to pick them up and then can use them on the shops right away to buy cosmetics or health carrot cakes and learn how the shop systems work early.
contacting an artist, the price is well worth it if they agree, but it no doubt would take a while for it to be complete, which is fine since I don't need it mostly done until a couple of months anyways. Outside one thing, but I can implement it later.

I took a 6 month break to recover from burnout. What did I miss? Anyone flop while I was away?
>>540789410No, my mental health is fine.>>540789421Just fagoon having a million melties and still ruining this place.
Added a ! mark that appears over boku's head when you move the level select character controller over a level portal. (yes some playtesters are that dumb and need it)
>watching a youtube channel where a guy finds terrible games on Steam and reviews them>it's usually stuff like barely functional FPS games, souls clones, and store simulator games all full of free assets and janky animations>realize all of these games are still far beyond the skill level of what I'm capable of creating myselfit's so fucking over
this is how i see bokube
>I took a 6 month break to recover from burnout

>>540790386good its more of a real game now.(added this to the fanart section of the bokube discord)
>>540790493>It took a 6 year bender to recover from sobriety
Reminder to add an art gallery to your game so whenever you draw anything related to it, it counts as progress.
>>540791236>good its more of a real game now.a game being overly complicated for no reason doesn't make it "real"there's plenty of games that are simple and have loads of content and are plenty real
>>540772909I've come to think my idea is shit but haven't thought of a better one, do I just tough it out with this one until something better comes to mind?
>>540791414video games aren't real, anon
>>540793237you couldanother option would be just drop the project and start working on generic stuff like art, lore, or systems that can be flexed into different projects. Hopefully you at least know the general type of game you want to make.
drew the fake start screen for the hoverbike racing game, but I forgot to re-enable the layers for the "Press Start" button before exporting the png to unity
>>540790493how did you recover?
>>540793683I thought I did, but talking with other people made me think otherwise. I think I knew what I DIDN'T want to make and mistook that for knowing what I wanted to make.
it's crazy people here cry about GDDs so much, not only is it incredibly good practice but it's way funner than most other parts of game development.
>>540794387>funner

>>540773464https://icewyrmgames.github.io/examples/baldur-s-gate-ii-postmortem/Very different kind of game and an old game, and different games, projects, etc., have different development processes. But might be able to learn something from it nevertheless.>Start the Wrap-Up>In a project as content rich as Baldur’s Gate II, we didn’t really have to worry about cutting content. While we shipped with nearly all the features we originally planned, we did start cutting quests and characters well before the final testing phase. We still ended up with over 200 hundred hours of gameplay.>In retrospect we should have started this process many months earlier. One of the dangers of development is that game developers have a tendency to always add content if they are given time. They don’t naturally spend time limiting and polishing content; instead, more time means more stuff. It’s wise to use that prioritized feature list to hone the work (of course ours was informal, which made it a little difficult).>We learned to look at our target date and adjust our content development accordingly. In many ways, quality is more important than quantity. Even though Baldur’s Gate II was bigger than Baldur’s Gate, the actual content was much better quality - we just didn’t realize how much more we had made in BG2 until it was too late!
I gave up on optimizing or trying to think of the proper to program things. My game is not big enough to pay attention to details this much. I'm being an idiot. e.g. I'll just hold a list of the sprites (for ball skins) and assign them to the sprite renderer. Instead of trying to keep a path to them and load just the one I need. In the shop menu they are all going to have to be loaded anyways. And in the game scene, fuck it let them stay loaded. I might want to show the shop menu there too. So why try to lengthen my route and put in extra work.
my code is AAAAAAAAAWWFFFFFUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLL
>>540776512All I see is pedophilia because of sickos on the internet
>>540777116unironically yes
>>540778497It might actually be an interesting idea for a game though since it's coming from a fun experiment with lowered inhibitions, as opposed to trying to come up with something that traditionally sounds solid.

>>5408000502D games don't have transitions.
>>540800927They can let you transition between animations via variables instead of code, such as reading character.direction.x and y and playing the right movement animation.but they are less useful for 2d, yes.Still, a smart developer knows all his tools and picks the right one.
>>540801285that's a basic switch statement inside each state.
>>540799026>>540800927>>540801349So don't use it? You obviously are against it so just don't use it.
>>540801463I am asking opinions.I want to port mugen characters into godot, so It would be extremelly cumbersome to use an animationtree over just calling animationplayer.play
>>540801541>so It would be extremelly cumbersomeso don't do it? Do you need us to hold your hand while you do something the way you want to?
>>540801636I am asking for opinions.
>>540801683Why? You don't like animationtree and don't want to use it. That's it. Sounds like you want attention.
Learned a lot from lurking here and the godot forums, Big Jays Rattastic Adventure is still in early access, but the last update I did was massive and fixed so much stuff. It also no longer has a capped fps. Literal pages of patch notes. Everyone has been responding well to the updates so far.

Are indie devs just collectively retarded? Why do we keep making games that we personally enjoy, and then end up disappointed when the general public doesn't want to play them?Why does it always disappoint me when passion projects flop?It should be obvious that a hyperniche art project made by a solodev schizo in his free time won't have nearly as much market appeal as a casual "slop" game made based on market research, popular trends, and plays on intuitive psychological desires.Why does it still surprise me when one of these "slop" games does well? Why does it still surprise me when passion projects flop? Why is it so difficult for me to understand just how exactly "normies" can derive so much joy from "slop"?Am I simply retarded?Oh well. I'm gonna keep working on my game. I'm not in this solely for money anyways. Profit is a benefit. I'm here to make games I love. Simple as.
>>540805385>Are indie devs just collectively retarded?No. Just you.
>>540805385Sadly passion projects are not always good games. A guy can also pour his heart into writing a novel, or painting a painting, but they won't sell if it's shit.
>>540805161Those 2 games have vastly different styles, but they both have models you could literally make opening the software and extruding a cube like 7 times then painting over the uv and putting images

>>540805385I have sold a few hundred dollars worth of my passion project, I priced my game at $2.99, I only have like 4 reviews, and they are all good. I am happy to put out games that make people happy even if it is only a few people. Just do you, sometimes a game hits and other times it misses, but if at least 1 person likes it you've done your job.
>>540805385the current market aren't gamers who grew up with SNES and NES, but kids that grew up with phone games and minecraft and roblox and fornite.
>>540805385>Why do we keep making games that we personally enjoyThis is cope. You wouldn't buy your own game if you just scrolled past it on Steam. You're making a game that you like the idea of other people knowing that you made. It's the same as the way that women don't actually like wealthy men. Rather, they like the status and class that wealth is typically associated with. You want to be seen as a gamedev that makes non-slop, and you don't evem care if the game is actually even good or not, and you especially don't care if other people want to play it or not (they don't).
>>540805161>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykA97X3xuxENvm I basically found what I was looking for
>>540805782I think this is true. Even good passion projects go sorely underappreciated. It should seem strange how Valve games such as Half Life 2 or Portal were so widely appreciated back when they were released, while games of similar natures now are lucky to surpass 500 reviews. Something shifted, likely the mental state of the average Steam user, and it hasn't been explicitly noted.Gamers used to appreciate art, personality, and worldbuilding. Now they only care about progression systems and juice. Our brains are shrinking.
>>540804594JFK Reloaded 2 looking lit
>>540805316the donut is made for people that want to make scenes for the purpose of rendering them after, and using effects to change shit like the roughness or slimyness of surfaces or automate shit like sprinkles and so on, it is the complete opposite of something that would help ophttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIHuqFLa_X0this is the closest to a concise tutorial I could find that would help you model in blender to make a crappy model step by step, after this all you have to do is do an automatic UV of the model and paint it in substance painter, or learn how to uv properly (it's like skinning an animal and the lower the polygons the easier it is) and then paint on the image, the style and how good it looks depends on you after that, if the image looks too shitty you just need to put a gradient map on top
>>540805916>You wouldn't buy your own game if you just scrolled past it on Steam.Yes I would. You don't know me. You're projecting.
>>540806254Post game.
>>540806180that is actually the project name lol
>>540804612this looks better than anything I've ever seen on agdg so not surprising. I might have to steal that monetization model as well.
I'm starting to FOMO on incremental games
Hey fellas! I've managed to push out an update JUST in time for the Autumn Sale on Steam (Dungeon Drops will be 50% off).It's a sidemode to help you farm gems for permanent upgrades for the main game mode.
>>540806067There’s nothing like HL2 or Portal quality sitting at under 500 reviews, the market absolutely recognizes and rewards quality and novelty
>>540806067Maybe there are just more retards and women among gamers nowadays, more games to choose from, and food is more expensive
>>540806717https://store.steampowered.com/app/990380/METAL_EDEN/
>>540805385Surely you like multiple genres of games, and one of them happens to be marketable? If not then you probably aren't passionate enough about gaming to make it either way.
>>540806762>https://store.steampowered.com/app/990380/METAL_EDEN/
>>540806642woops, here is the link to my steam page:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3625870/Dungeon_Drops/
>>540806762This has over 600 reviews and it’s boring, Ruiner was much more interesting
>>540806218No. The donut is made for people who want to learn what the fuck a vertex is, how to select it, and how to move it.
>>540806913If that's all you got out the donut tutorial then you didn't pay attention and should probably stop modeling because you're clearly to dumb to understand it.
>>540806902>over 600meaningless to the core of the argument>is boringirrelevant and subjective(as the game has 88%), you argued about HL2/Portal quality, this has it.
>>540806985retard
>>540807000>you argued about HL2/Portal quality, this has it.anon you should really reevaluate your definition of quality
>>540807000>you argued about HL2/Portal qualityhe also said noveltyyeah no shit, when you make the first game of it's kind it's different than when it's the 500th. Like look at what you linked, that's what you consider a "passion project"?
>>540807081>OK, so now I know Blender's UI, its shortcuts, sculpting, lighting, shading, modeling, texturing and rendering. But how the fuck does that help me model in Blender?!
the true indie dev goal is to make slop money from a passion projectthis is very difficultto balance profitability with passionfew are capable
>>540806913most of these tutorials literally spawn the donut then add modifiers to it, or even make the donut itself with modifiers, even the sprinkles, then go on to rendering techniques. on a 4 hour tutorial 5 minutes would probably apply for the making of a lowpoly character for rigging
I brought up the donut originally. I WOULD also recommend that you don't really need to finish it past the mesh part. There is also a thing to model a hard surface chair that I think might be more applicable but it might be some years out of date.
>>540807429Why can't it be a passion project?Passion is on the creator's side, it doesn't matter how many similar games were created before. And I wasn't around for the earlier discussion.>>540807354The game looks and shoots better than HL2 imo. You can prefer hl2 but the quality is at least similar, this isn't Kalilina 4 pooper edition here.
dispel stomp :D
>>540807737why would anyone play this over path of exile
>>540807793why would anyone play video games over enjoying real life
>>540807793somebody asked this a while ago, and I kinda thought hard about it, like, really hard, the conclusion is, I dunno dude, ngmi T_T
>>540807793Because people like knowing that there's an end point within 20 hours after which you've seen all the content and can reliably put it down until the sequel with no fear that the devs are gonna add classes/content and make your playthrough incomplete.
this is who you're making slop forbtwevery time you work on your slop just imagine this kid asking his mom for her credit card to buy your $3 dopamine generatorhe plays it inbetween gooning sessions when he's procrastinating his algebra homeworkthis is who you're devoting your life towardsbtwjust remember thatxDobese 13 year old brown kidsxDyour live revolves around pleasuring obese brown kidsxDslopdevsxD
>>540807938>this is who you're making slop for>btw>every time you work on your slop >just imagine this kid asking his mom for her credit card to buy your $3 dopamine generator>he plays it inbetween gooning sessions when he's procrastinating his algebra homework>this is who you're devoting your life towards>btw>just remember that>xD>obese 13 year old brown kids>xD>your live revolves around pleasuring obese brown kids>xD>slopdevs>xD
>>540807938who cares, I don't care if a fat retarded brown kid enjoys my game
>>540806004just a heads up for arctic eggs and mouthwashing the models are just one mesh instead of multiple pieces, this doesn't matter though if you combine them after making the model from multiple pieces though but wanted just to say
>>540807678>I was working with a team on this game until I left. I was hoping this game can be more but its in general very boring and not interesting as a final product. Someone wrote here very accurately there is nothing in it except moving from room to room to kill enemies and that is in my opinion very correct.
>>540807938If I can scam 1 million of them out of 3 dollars each I would be ecstatic
>>540807938I make my game for japanese salarymen, now weep
yo bro, you see that new splattercat video? straight bussin gang, haha ts fire
>>540808037I'll concede the novelty/passion part but my original post still standsquality wise this is equal to HL2 even if the game design sucks
>>540808143Japanese Salaryman Shi is now an unemployed bum though
>>540807793that stomp already looks cleaner than poe's dogshit animations I don't know what you're talking about
>>540807938Picrel is who I'm making slop for: dead inside millennials. They have the most disposable income and require the most dopamine to function.13 year old brown kids cannot afford video games. The few who own a PC will certainly how to pirate.
>>540808167ok so once again no one ever mentioned quality without also mentioning novelty, except you.you play a game for the first time and it's fun. It's a good game.you play a game for the 50th time, it is not as fun. It is not a good game.
>mogs egg baloney>mogs JoBlow>mogs Tynan Sylvester>mogs Carmack>mogs Tim Sweeney
>>540807926>>540807793>>540807863so true xisters, he should keep devving his game for 5 more years just like our friend marmo
>>540808693>our friend marmoDidn't he stop posting here because he was too good for aggy
>>540807926>the appeal is that you can not play the gameit's hilarious that people think like this and then act like they're allowed to have opinions about video games
>>540804594kill yourself
>>540808943he killed himself after his game flopped, another case of a dev getting groomed by the 'cord into wasting half a decade on a shit idea, sad!
>>540809063what was the idea? torchlight but painfully low budget?
>>540808587>There’s nothing like HL2 or Portal quality sitting at under 500 reviews, the market absolutely recognizes and rewards quality and noveltyThe first argument is not like the second argument.I accept your concession.
>>540808943He stopped posting here because he stopped working on video games.
>>540809149both arguments are trueyou'll get to your rebuttal after you finish declaring victory I assume?
Can anyone tell me the lore of this place. who the fuck is fygoon and the others
>>540809192Why?
>>540809385>>540809063
>>540809340Fygoon is what you feel.
>>540809340fygoon is a shitty dev who endlessly samefags talking about himself to keep the name relevant. There's not a lot to it. I wouldn't recommend being here btw. It's basically just him and 2 or 3 other people at any given time before they realize they would be better off posting somewhere else.
>>540809515What are you doing here then. Are you fygoon?
>>540809385Ask him yourself on his discord.
>>540809629retard
>>540809948maxx
>>540789752Probably a good change.
my idea folder is huge and i'll never execute on them. i will sue anyone who uses these btw. my name is a code i can use to prove my legal identity.

>>540808009ok thanks

>>540800090deported
Woke up, I'm feeling cold and sneezing.
>>540810431bing "chastity cage" and order one
>>540809340Fygoon isn't real. He's a satire character played by 7-10 people
>>540810431Put the cage on, anon
Feels funny that I have basically no interest in any single field of game development, but the grand idea has sort of forced me down every path. Wish I had gotten into this stuff years ago.
>>540811142Your doxx images get deleted which is a definite proof that you do exist, manlet latinx
https://progchad.itch.io/pixurbiahttps://gx.games/games/r5r8eb/pixurbia/I think my game is coming along really nicely. This last update I just uploaded adds a lot of stuff to my 2D crime sandbox like a full blown online turf war across all players influencing everybody's game. You can join a gang and then work towards having your gang go attack players of the opposing gang and shit. Pretty much every action ties into influencing your gang somehow.
I'm trying to do a PS1 Resident Evil style camera.But the buildings/characters are 2d pixels.When the character is moving towards or away from the camera, should I just literally enlarge/shrink the character sprite? This would make the character weird as it has bigger/smaller pixels compared to the buildings.Whats a better option.
>>540805385Devs "enjoy" "playing" their own games because they have a sense of accomplishment from making something and seeing it work, not because the thing they made is actually good or fun as an activity on its own merits. It's like a proud parent putting their child's crayon drawing up on the fridge, most people are incapable of fairly evaluating their own work. And then they show it to other gamedevs, here, on reddit or demoday, who then assess it on a purely technical basis and not as a consumer, and end up "hugboxing" or "crabbing" on that basis. Finding the people who might actually buy and play your and showing your game to them is something agdg struggles with, and so 7 years of development go by and a week before release they make some frantic posts on reddit about how they made a game but it's too little too late.
>>540812957>i'm trying to make a very specific blend of 2d rendered backgrounds and 3d characters>but i've decided to not use half of these things>is there a better option?how many lead paint chips did you eat as a child?
>>540812957Pong is a better option for you.
>>540813807how tf do people have trouble finding playtesters when itch exists?n.b. if your game gets no plays after a while on there it's confirmed shit and you need to go back to the drawing board. But I guess devs with no self awareness wouldn't think its possible for their babies to suck.
>>540808370what does salaryman shi have to do with aggy again
>>540814772There are devs here who check their itch analytics daily to monitor their single digit views. The copium is absolutely insane.
>>540815258I sell on average 3 to 10 copies a week of my current project that is in early access, is it bad that I want to monitor sales and views? I don't expect a ton of copies to sell, I just want to make sure my game is getting some sales / views on steam
you are not indie if you are not developing soloyou are not indie if you have relations with a partnerGET REAL
Jesus christ, gettimg dear imgui working with raylib is pain.
>>540815258And those single views? They're me, randomly refreshing your page one day per week. If you want to be added to my rotation just reply with your game's name
>>540815797It's just really pathetic. 3 to 10 might as well be nothing. Focus your energy on making a better game next time.
>>540812957Bro, just do this https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/pixel-canals-low-poly-game-level-0e7cd01efb484aff817e3b03425cc080
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.

>>540806642Looks based bro
>>540809340"fygoon" means dev in sumerian, anyone can be fygoonim fygooning right now myself
I give up on imgui it requires way too much work to get it running nicely with raylib. I guess I'll just remake my raygui based gui again and again until it is decent.
No matter how you put it, no matter how you say it, I am the dev that wins at the end of the day! I'm me!
i think i'm making a megabonk-like now

>>540819469yeah its in the lower mid, i was shocked reading is that high what the fuck does it mean i never seen any women i dated enjoy reading, and the niggas who make VNs look like they get no action
>>540819550off topic, but you're probably dating retards. Women typically read way more than men do. It's all fiction YA slop for the most part, but most guys literally don't read any actual books so a lot of women do rate it highly.
>>540800192Underrated
>>540805385People are collectively retarded. Most of them have NPC tier thought processes. You'd expect the ones who have enough agency to make games to be above that but turns out most of them are just as retarded because making games is that easy in current year. >>540806762That's 600 reviews in less than a month at 40€. They're doing good.
>>540819550I read, write, got published but I still don't get enough tail. To be fair, I put Mongol on my tinder profile and most women probably swiped left...I'm too afraid to put in that I got published because I'm functionally illiterate and can barely read unless I'm reading out loud and even then, my comprehension is that of a nigger.I sppose I'm just an incel.
>literally me
>>540805916>It's the same as the way that women don't actually like wealthy men. Rather, they like the status and class that wealth is typically associated with.That's why Notch isn't attractive. If you only look at the wealth you'd think he would have a gold digging wife next to him but he doesn't have any of the status, connections or shit like that to give his potential wife the life of the wealthy. He isn't in the wealthy circles that the potential wife would want access to flaunt their wealth. Someone much less wealthy but better connected would be a more desirable husband.
>>540772909Need avice.Making a 3rd person game with survival elements nad NPC's. Using navmesh for NPC to get around.But now that I'm adding buildings it presents a problem. There is a way to regenerate just a part of a navmesh (after I place the building down), isn't there?
>>540819986I don't even dislike Keanu, but he should really accept that he can't act for shit.You know how sometimes actors are typecast in dumb rolls, comedy buffoons, or stupid action hero slop, but then they change gears and do a drama piece or something serious and everybody is like "wow, wtf are they doing?!" and they knock it out of the park and everybody starts taking them more seriously as an actor after seeing they aren't a one trick pony?Keanu Reeves is like the opposite of that.
>>540806772you shouldn't be passionate about gamingyou should be passionate about making games
>>540820205Johnny Silverhand was unironically Keanu's best role.
>>540819428true>>540818279prepare for a year of promotion before release to ensure supportotherwise, expect an 80 review flop
>>540812957you're making something in the style of old point and click adventures like monkey island, look at them instead of resident evil

>>540783767i love it, thank you artistanon
>>540820705Yes, and yet we have people making tactics RPGs featuring barefoot mostly naked catgirl anime characters. Or like Armaphract in demoday which is a pretty cool tactical tank game... with an anime girl in it for no reason.I think a fixation on japanese culture has rendered most of agdg completely incapable of finding commercial success, because despite being attuned to japanese cultural proclivities and able to produce things that should work within that culture, they do not in fact sell their games to the japanese, or have a japanese audience or a japanese community or in fact even speak the japanese language.It's a glaring disconnect that I think accounts for a lot of agdg failures.
>level designI can't take this. I give up.
>>540822001
>>540784197>can't animate>makes game that relies on animation
>>540821896Does it upset you that the devs with actual passion, even if it's for anime titties, will always be far more skilled than you'll ever be?
>>540819893Racist piece of shit
I know about alpha masking now lol
>>540774698fucking demolished him!!!!
>>540822186It saddens me that people who do have skill and passion fumble the most basic things and make games that nobody wants due to spending all their time on a mongolian basket weaving bbs.
>>540777589
>>540820362It was also laughably horrible
>>540822698fuark cris wonned
>>540822609I think both Shimapanzer and Armaphract certainly have an audience, but they're massively overscoped and will probably never ship. Even Symphony of War made $6m, which is RPGMaker-slop of the same genre. The tactics curse is real. They're focusing too much on nice 3D graphics when they don't even close to a complete game yet. Same for Marmoreal, even though it's not the same genre.
>>540776512Her teeth freak me out.

>>540823087Yes, get rid of the circles and turn them to squares.
>>540821896I'm gonna learn Japanese and sell my game to a Japanese audience.
>>540823481i really need you niggas to stop fetishizing a mid country like they're some kinda elves, just because you like their pedophile animation and because they have no niggers shanking people on the trainit's not a profitable market either. there's only like a million people living in japan. sell it to Chinese
>>540823458will do, any idea why alpha is not working at a distance? its in unity
>>540823640What sell in Japan also sells in China.
>>540822953Armaphract is decent as a game but I think the types of people who would play a gritty tactical tank game are going to see the anime girls and be put off.Like you probably look at this and think "hell yeah" because you live in a bubble and spend the majority of your time on an anime website. But you can't underestimate the effect that slapping an anime girl on the cover art has on first impressions and people who don't come to this specific website are probably not keen on the "cute girls in tanks" thing.
I took Shanghai Gold to the New Zealand Game Developers Conference. I got the demo of the nightclub more polished for the show and people liked playing it. Was hoping to talk with publishers but none turned up. Maybe I'll try PAX next year.

>>540824056It doesn't matter. Blue Archive makes more money EVERY WEEK than what Highfleet made in its entire lifetime, even though they're the same genre. Lost Ark makes more money than Path of Exile, even though they're the same genre. Normie ass streamers like Assmomsmold plays anime gacha games. You're projecting your own personal preferences.

>>540823640Chinese is too hard.
>>540824712POO ARCHIVED is not even profitable according to nexon and makes almost no money compared to non pedo focused gachas, you may fool that guy but you cant fool me, momoitroon
>>540824828Fact Check™: False
i don't know what's true
>>540825017whatever their financials are still shitting themselves, i read that back when they were caught rewarding their users for steam reviews and bottinghttps://steamdb.info/app/3557620/charts/#max\vs one of the weakest non pedo gachas:https://steamdb.info/app/3224770/charts/mind you it's literally the only pedo gacha and it's still losing
>>540824712How the fuck is Blue Archive in the same genre as Highfleet? Your brain has to have rotted and dribbled out of your ears for you to say something this stupid. Slapping an anime girl in the capsule image of your game doesn't make you Blue Archive. You haven't got a team of artists churning out waifu bait 24/7, you don't have gambling lootbox mechanics to keep the dopamine flowing. You didn't have a successful launch in Asia and then launch in the west with a massive marketing warchest.You just have an unhealthy obsession with anime girls and it'll ruin anything you produce.

>>540828605I had the>WoW but only instances and coopidea years ago but I knew I couldn't produce all the assets for it alone so I didn't try to make it. Now there's multiple games like that incoming and they're probably going to make millions. In fact I have multiple ideas for coop games but they're too much work. There's a lot of potential in the coop space as we've seen with the recent influx of friendslop hits and they're only catering to a certain type of streamer bait audience. There's many different types of coop experiences and I've identified some unfilled niches in there.

Have you ever tried to make a game for blind people? One that can be played through sound alone i mean, completely without any visuals? I'm doing it now and it's surprisingly challenging to design it well
>>540808143Japanese salarymen will never play a game made by stupid pig disgusting gaijin.
Tried storing Dict["Position"] = obj_refturns out it's not so easy to unstring a vector3I can't exactly reverse those since I access obj by positions but I can add the reverse dictionary to grab the position againor have the positions be arrays "[V.x, V.y, V.z]" which is better?

Should I move this line to the right? The IDE tries to keep everything left of it. AFAIK old boomers made everyone use it because they refused to let go of their crts while chads moved on to bigger screens.
>>540828937based on my experience (years of browsing /gif/) the opposite is true
Can you steal real racing tracks into your racing game, without any license?The name of the track might be protected, but is the design of the track also protected?

making games is so much fun OH I LOVE MAKING GAMES I LOOOOOVE MAKING GAAAAAAAMES
>>540834559I treat it as a hobby, once you force yourself to do it, it looses all the fun and you produce literal shitcant make it that way, in the meantime conduct some sort of business to make money
>>540834708>I treat it as a hobby, once you force yourself to do it, it looses all the fun and you produce literal shitEh, you should still force yourself to do things that you don't want to do that need done. All hobbies have things you gotta force yourself to do. Also yeah if you don't have a job/career and are "trying to make it" with just your game you're dumb as hell.
God fucking DAMN IT!!!! My fucking compocist is taking SO FUCKING LONG with his tracks I'M LOOSING IT!!!NEVER, EVER hire or outsource!!! Cause they WILL be SLOWER than you! ALWAYS!!!!FUCK!!! I'd even use AI at this point just to speed things up if AI wasn't so SHIT!!!! GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!!

>>540839561Uhh... idk, actually
>>540839285I'll fix it when I get home.
>>540839878sounds like making a videogame isn't for you.
>>540839878Bro if you don't like doing it then don't do it. Why is this place filled with so many weirdos? Go find something you do enjoy and live your life. It's okay to just be.
>>540839935I doubt it.
It's crazy how much one person killed agdg. Slow ass thread.
>>540839878>hire a 3d artist on fiverr>get a lot of 3d models that are animated>join the discord>say that youre a 3d artist and you made the models>show them off on discord>say you need a programmerits easy. outsource the art side of things, then go somewhere else and larp as an artist looking for work
>>540840704who killed it?
>>540840002if i quit gamedev it means i've lost, that my potential would be wasted, the person i would be on the other side is so hollow
>>540838745I enjoy your dev posts, mongoloid.
>>540841003Kannadev the pedofile
>>540841010That such a dumb take lmao. There's so much to do in life to think you're hollow to not do something you don't enjoy doing is retarded. Potential is overrated, just be happy and do whatever leads to that.
>>540841010want to suck my dick?
>>540841165Hi fagoon >>540841003 this guy
>>540841010but the person you are now is miserable, doing things you don't like doing, for some ego-driven reason. Gamedev isn't a worthwhile pursuit, making a game doesn't prove anything about you, it's just a game, it's a toy for children. You could pick literally anything else and do that and enjoy it, that's not hollow.
Are you supposed to make all of your trees and grass objects a multi mesh? Can multi meshes cull at a distance?
>>540841470what's a multi mesh?
shartWOKEn is the biggest pile of pedofile shit i have ever seen, the transexual dev should feel ashamed of its deed
>>540841695It's in Godot, it combines a bunch of meshes. Supposed to be good for performance and I see it recommended to make, for example, all of your trees a multi mesh.But the docs say that isn't a good idea, because a tree that should be culled now won't be.I just want to have a bunch of trees and grass.
So cute
>>540841463making games is one of the most impactful things an individual person can do>>540841232being good at things makes me happy
>>540838745I like the design of this and the gun you did before dont listen others they are pretty fine and unique enough imo.
>>540842112tranny poster on a mad one today
>>540838745This looks cool. If you can make the game as fun as Cruelty Squad, and have some memorable/memeable lines or moments like "Divine Light Severed you are a flesh automaton" then I think you could have something good on your hands.
AI voice acting is literally the most ethical use of generative AI.The voice actors on sites like ElevenLabs both consented and are being paid when you use their voice.Both AI code and AI art models are trained on the stolen works of creators who will never see a dime for what the AI produces.Guess what /agdg/ is okay with though? Hint: Its not AI voice acting.
>>540841926use GPU instancing for the tree foliage and grass. multimesh from what I understand batches meshes together so they use a single draw call. if all of your trees are a multimesh, looking at one tree on the screen will cause all of them to be drawn. only use multimesh for objects that are close together and/or will be displayed all at once.For example, you have a level that's inside of a house. Each room has its own furniture and random decorations.I'd make one multimesh per room, each made of that rooms decorations. You'll only be in one room at a time so in this case its fine.if you made a multimesh for all decorations at once, then being in room A would always render the furniture/decorations for room B, C, and so on
>>540842187>being good at things makes me happythen join an adult mens league for a sport you're good at or play golf with friends or something. You're clearly not good at game dev
>>540842536No one gives a shit. 99% of games on agdg need 0 voice lines
/agdg/ needs a new hero...
>>540843315How do I become AGDG's new hero?
>>540843371Make a really good game in a genre nobody wants to play
Isnt this awesome that you are a healthy human being? You have legs and arms and you can move around and do stuff, you can dev We should be grateful for this opportunity
>>540842536Why are you posting this every single thread? What is the point? Are all AI niggers this insecure?
>>540842536Can I use ai for my army men clone? I need sarges voice
>>540844038Yes, you should. If /agdg/ shits on you, tell them to voice act in your game. They will refuse and demand you go into debt instead. The "SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!" approach.
>>540844038Your game is already ngmi so who cares
is being french unironically just a free creativity and artistic taste buff?
>>540843859Yes!
>>540844294yeah I was thinking of making one lvl and calling it quits
>>540844294Post your game.
>>540844169You don't want me to voice act on your game, trust me.
>>540844294Reminder that this poster is a troon from the discord purposefully shitting on a dev from here for not submitting to their transgenderist idiocracy
Changed the font in Jargon from a pixelated font to a higher res one and I can't decide if it looks better or like complete ass
>>540844490Sure>>540844716I do not go to the discord, and I am not mentally ill. I've seen the dev post multiple times and if you look at posts like >>540823087 you can see at least 3 different types of game styles in 1 image. Already a mess, throw on unnecessary AI VA and it's even more a mess.
>>540842572>Use GPU instancingIs this just regular instancing? If I make an instance in Godot will it always be a GPU instance or do I need to write a script or check a box to ensure this?
>>540844941Your UI elements/colors don't match/blend.
>>540844941Here's a sample of what it used to look like for reference
>>540844959Tower just need to be lower res and player model needs to be switched to low poly, since its work in progress
>>540845105Can you be more specific? What could be better?
>21 upvotes on reddit in 20 hoursIts over
>>540845210Not just lower res, it's not really something you'd see in n64 at all. Look at goldeneye, the most they do similar to that is railing. with big square buildings. The tree is also too high res and not 64 style.>>540845275You have elements that are dull textured like the scrabble pieces and the books but then everything else is flat bright colors. It's mismatched, kind of like mixels.
>>540845521reddit is one of the worst marketing platforms
>>540845521My experience with Reddit is that the subs where you can shill your game are full of other people trying to shill their games, not actual gamers. They're all in it for themselves, not to find new games to play. It's like trying to be a comedian, you go to shitty open mic nights where the only audience is other wannabe comedians.
>>540845905That tree is literally 2 planes crossed together
>>540845905>You have elements that are dull textured like the scrabble pieces and the books but then everything else is flat bright colors. It's mismatched, kind of like mixels.Never thought about it that way. The art for the books and letter tiles is new, the UI is left over from before I added that. I'll see what I can do for better color matching

When to start steam page about your game and what do you need for steam page?
>>540850151I don't have a game to show only art.
>>540850223Good question — timing your Steam page launch is a big part of indie game marketing. Here’s a breakdown: When to Start a Steam PageAs early as possible — ideally once you have:A clear title and branding (name/logo you won’t likely change later).At least a teaser trailer or some gameplay GIFs/screenshots that give people a feel for the game.Many indies open their Steam page 6–12 months before release (sometimes longer if they’re building in public).Why early matters:Every wishlist you gather is a potential launch-day buyer.Steam’s algorithm boosts visibility for games that get lots of wishlists before launch.You can share the Steam link in devlogs, social posts, trailers, festivals, etc.If you’re not ready to show much, you can still put up a minimal page with a few strong screenshots and update later. What You Need for a Steam PageSteam requires several assets and details when you set up your "Coming Soon" page:MandatoryApp Name (your game’s final or working title)Description (short + long form)At least 5–10 high-quality screenshotsCapsule Images (Steam’s promo banners in specific sizes: small, header, main capsule, library capsule, etc.)Trailer Video (YouTube/Vimeo link)System Requirements (even if approximate for now)Categories/Tags (genre, features like “Single-player”, “Controller support”)Strongly RecommendedGameplay trailer (30–90 sec, shows real gameplay quickly)Key art / branding (so your capsule images stand out)Press kit assets (logos, clean artwork, screenshots without UI)Wishlist call-to-action (in your trailer and posts) TipsDon’t wait until launch — you’ll miss out on months of potential wishlists.Update your page regularly with devlogs, screenshots, and trailers to keep engagement. Do you want me to make you a checklist with all required Steam assets (including exact image sizes) so you can start preparing them?
I just played sarges hereos on emulator holy shit that game is basic as fuck, mine is like PS2/PS3 game
>>540850329Art assets =/= game.So you're a nodev. So settle down first before talking down on someone.
>>540850693Post your game
/v/3 is back in December! Make sure you get your games ready for when the new updated site goes live! This'll be the longest one yet, focusing on new games as well as looks back into others submitted this year. It'll be a great time before next summer's big shakeup! I hope to see (you) and (you)r game there anon! Ask me any questions you might have while I'm here.
>>540850693No reason an artist can't critique art. Also no one talked down to anyone. You overly sensitive fag.
>>540848306yes but why did you delete the post?
>>540846448There is no public evidence to suggest that "Fygoon" is a psyop by "Kannadev". Fygoon is a fictional character, the main protagonist of the independent video game The Frydarian Tale, developed by N-Type Studios. There are no public evidence or game details connecting the fictional character Fygoon or the development of The Frydarian Tale to a person or entity named Kannadev.
>Asteroids>Pong>PacMan>Flappy Bird>Slither IO>Tetrisall great games are simple, nobody is saying Call of Duty is great
>>540851258
>>540850971>No reason an artist can't critique art. Also no one talked down to anyone.You told an anon that he's ngmi and shouldn't even bother. And you weren't just critiquing only the art. So you're a bitch.
>>540851403tons of people are saying call of duty is good while they'd never touch tetris.your don't see reality straight.
>>540851258ok
>>540851915but historically call of duty is a joke compared to Tetris
>>540852023I'm gonna bet you that you're wrong again and call of duty made more money than tetris.
>>540851207kek
>>540852252you're right damn it, but the point stands, simple game like tetris was able to make 1 bil or sosimple games are the way to go
>>540844941looks better but I'd keep looking for even better one
>>540851676I literally only critiqued the art, in fact me and that anon had a complete back and forth about it. Please explain which part that wasn't art that I critiqued? Also post game.

>>540853684Why are you so hostile
>request someone post their game>refuse to post yoursinteresting
>>540855191Why are you so sensitive?
you need mad skillz to make games, mad skillz I tell ya
>>540850845What's the requirement? Can I just submit my garbage game?
>look at reddit indiedev>all these great looking games>while your game looks like total shit
It's too quiet...
>>540845968>My experience with Reddit
>>540837984That game already exists. Can you make yours better than Warframe? If you can't there's no point to make it.
>>540848674It's just pogo stick acting out because his game flopped
>>540839878It's simple. You don't actually want to make a video game. You're in love with the idea of making games. You don't actually want to make games. You said it yourself. You don't enjoy many of the main activities that are part of making games.>>540840002Many such cases on this board.>>540841010Failure is part of life. Would you rather fail now and realize this isn't for you or would you prolong your futile struggle for another 5, 10, 20 years making the failure feel even worse once you finally do accept it. Most people who try to make games aren't suited for it. Cut your losses and find something else.
>>540854140my game will not have the numbers "33" or "666" in it
>>540856934This anon gets it
>>540857041Six seven
>>540842536my game uses ethically sourced AI art
>>540846226Never mind, maybe some other time.
>>540854140Absolutely retarded unless it's for an ingame lore reason like a certain floor missing on a building.
>>540855143Does it have cute anime girls?
>>540851676You gonna post your game? Or you just going to be a fag?
should come out good
>>540846226>yet another retard loses his house because of a gamedev failurelmao this never gets old
I'M GONNA MAKE IT! -yeah-Push through the grind, no hesitating! -come on-Building dreams, no fakingSweat, code, tears I’ll make it happen!
>tfw have to study advanced mathematical functions for my idle game
Still waiting on the person who was so upset I didn't post a game to post their game. Don't be a coward now.
>>540858597Let's do it. Let's lock in.
>>540847928panic floor demake?

>>540856064
I feel terrible today. I've been feeling bad for days now and I don't know what's wrong with me.I was trying to get something done by Wednesday but now I realize that was impossible from the start.
>>540850845Where to submit?
>>540838745Time to import it in-game and hope it doesn't suck lmao.
how the FUCK do I work with particles and shaders
>>540862753That looks horrible lmfao

>>540863354Shut up fagoon
>>540862753do you just slap some AI noise on your models or what the fuck are you doing? clearly you had some idea when you were modeling them but the texturing never matches
Okay Google >>540862768
>>540863413he destroyed you and your cord-troons
>>540863413>can't handle the truth>calls everyone fagoon to copelmaoing @ animetroonsI'd rather take 5 fagoons than one of you as posters in here
>fygoon spams cp and then blames meBrother chill the fuck out

fygoon has made more discord accounts than everyone else combined
>>540863641>>5408637701. I don't like anime or even know who bocci is. 2. I don't use and will never use discord I'm not a fag zoomer 3. Fagoon posts are obvious fagoon
>>540863786Everyone here knows you diddle kids, Pogo Stick. I am calling Steam to have your flop of a game cancelled.
>>540862768what engine? if your on Unity, the VFX graph works better alongside shaders, there's more flexibility. Only use the particles system if you want them to be affected by physics
>>540863941>It's just blender's light and cycles rendering.No it's not lol It's "I don't know how to texure properly so I just slapped something I found off the internet."
>>540864038What did i even do to you man? What perceived slight set you off this timeYou spend the entire thread every single day dunking on every other dev in the thread but the second someone makes a single cuck joke you go completely nuclearHave you ever thought about how hypocritical you are
This is the gayest change with bundles. So what if I want to have a game were the bundle's discount makes it lower than 50 cents? It doesn't actually matter since you are buying everything in bulk anyways. So what's the point of banning a bundle in certain countries when the whole point is to give a discount for being in bulk where the 50 cent limit for showing up on a visa order shouldn't be applied?
>It's one of "those days" in /agdg/
>>540864280Too long. Didn't read. Go cry to your shitcord.
>>540864113godotI just want to make stuff sparkle, so it feels like particles would be a better fitUnless with shaders on an object you can have stuff detaching from it
>>540864513Particles are pretty easy to learn, just watch a 5 minute tutorial and figure it out from there
>>540864504You seem really upset about discord. Do you feel left out? Are you lonely?
Everyday I stray further from god... I feel like my code is unholy, it's just raw chunks of memory all over the place, no type checking at compile-time just a dumb macro I use to index the contiguous arrays.
>>540864638Stop bothering messaging this retard, he clearly does nothing but seethe. He's essentially an annoying cricket that snuck in your room and won't shut up.
>>540864504So you feel left out?All you have to do is apologize. No hard feelings. Everyone has their bad days
>>540864406>687 posts>no progress>you ask why>muh fugoon>muh thread stalkers>"don't want to be seen on 4chan"lmao
>hes upset because he didn't get invited to the group settingkek
keep in mind cris wasn't banned but fygoon has been like 26 times lmao26x worse of a dev than cris.. yeesh.
>>540864638>>540865048Still rolling with that, 'ey pogo-pedo? You ain't built for these threads, cuh. We reppin' Chris Hansen.
>>540865113I had a guy yell at me for being critical and helpful to a dev and then he disappeared when asked to show his game. This place is a joke.
>>540864406>its a day that ends in Y on /agdg/fixed that for (You)
>>540865206Fagoon has been banned 26 times in just a week alone before. I remember a week where like every day the thread on /v/ and /vg/ would disappear every day because fagoon had hijacked them then went on spam melties.
Yay steam sale time, time to see what AAA games are on the frontpage despite being on sale 200 times a year, ah is that peak... AN ... E-ENTIRE 20% FUCKING OFF!? THAAAAAAAATS A DEEP DSICOUNT! GABEY LIKEY!
>>540864819I find it funny. Fygoon likes the attention. The only one getting pissed off is (You)If you dont want to deal with rampant shitposting theres always the discord :^)
>>540865486Get a job and stop worrying about shit like sales lmao. I could hand out video games to the homeless they are so cheap.
>>540865295He left for the /v/ thread, which is majorly gay.
>>540865228Wait fygoon time out i only posted one of those
If you're wondering, yes he was just humiliated on the /v/ thread too, which is why he's here lmfao keeeeeek.
>>540865509Shut up fagoon
>>540865727>Wait, I only posted CSAM once! Honest!Reporting to the NCMEC and FBI. Your clapped, NONCE.
>>540865897I mean one of those posts you replied to nice try though buddy
>>540865727he doesn't know that kannadev ain't even in the 'cord
>>540865714Lmao, imagine posting in the fagoon thread on /v/
>>540864028you defend animetroons which makes you as bad as them and you're wrong about being able to identify fagoon posts
Fagoon meltie o clock already?
>>540865295one time I posted progress, then got a few criticism replies which is normal for me, either critiques or no response at all. and then someone started replying to those, pretending to be me the whole time having a meltdown, and then said "im quitting agdg for good"he even downloaded/reposted stuff i'd posted in the past and renamed the files to match the filename i uploaded so it looked like it was methen someone else started whiteknighting the me impersonator while other people started crabbing the me impersonator. it was really weird to watch, especially cus im basically a whodev on agdg and lurk most of the time
>>540865976lmao pogo stick is scared of me sharing his info to the police. Try your best not to pogo in prison, queerus maximus.
>>540866136Defend? No, I just literally don't care about people posting anime because, you know, this is 4chan.
Is it worth it to try and date while working on a game? I already have so little free time with a full time job eating up 40+ hours a week that I’m having second thoughts if it’s worth even bothering with women and everything that comes with that.But at the same time if it takes me 2 years to make a game that I’m probably not going to make any money off of I’m going to be almost 30 and not in a relationship by the end of it.
the game currently plays like thisi like the roadtrip mechanic of choosing where you go and difficultyarea changes every 2 days, but im experimenting of letting the player choose sometimesthis kinda creates problems, mainly allowing the player to skip some areas entirelybut in other news, the game is pretty much done
Ok sorry i cant shitpost with you anymore buddy i gotta go to workBut good job today i think we’re on the verge of getting some promising new blood into the discord
Also lmao at Pogo being 28 and using he/him pronouns on Xitter. Stop acting like a Tumblr band kid, you NERD.
>>540865206cris has been banned hundreds of times
A progress posted is a lie
>you get raped if you lose
>>540867491In the game?
>>540866525Idk man I'm not your caretaker or diary. My GF just does other things when I dev and she gives critique on stuff which is nice since she's an art grad with a career in it.
>>540866935why is fygoon so obsessed with other men? is he gay?
>>540867718Super closeted homo, well except with YTC dev. I imagine they openly did some gay ass shit together. Also huge pedo.
>>540838745>heading homeDo you dev outside? Tell me about it anon
How long would it take to make grass like this?
>>540864028youre indian
>>540867775Pogo, I thought you were at work.
>>540868130Not long, it's a couple textures with a bump map and blending
>>540868238I don't even know who that is. Is grassfag no longer who fagoon cries about now?
>>540868567Well besides that other dev kana or something? Idfk how any of you guys care enough to keep track of different devs names
>>540868715>t. whodev with no game
>>540868405Oh when I said blending I meant splatting btw >>540869031Post your game?
>>540821582i see this for the nth time and i still cannot comprehend what the hell is going on in the webms of this project. why is there an audio stream on the top and you make circles on the bottom? what do the colors symbolize? i also saw this on some other board, /g/ or /wsg/ dunno. im genuinely intrigued, what is it?
>>540866505>I just literally don't care about people shitting up the thread
>>540869861Literally only bothers you fagoon lmao. Normal non autistic people just scroll by. Also this thread cant get any worse
I need to use up a weeks worth of holidayNo will to do anythingWhat could I do that would help my gameIm seriously considering isolating myself in some hotel out in the countryside without any devices, just some pen and paper for ideas.Any suggestions? I'm tired of working, and I'm tired of working on my game. Neither are leading me somewhere I want to be
>>540870391magic shrooms
>>540870391Go somewhere and chill and do nothing and free your brain. Go to Japan and party for 10 days.
What programs do you guys use when designing UI, for context i wanna avoid my ui elements looking overly flat and maybe looking something like picrel
just looked through my uni program and im in way over my headi thought this shit was suppose to be like schooli gotta REGISTER for classes?im so fucked
>>540870531genuinely thinking about this. or truffles at least. I fantasise about having some revlation that finally let's me settle which game to make first instead of hopping and building 0 momentum
>>540870681PhotoshopBlenderWhat do you mean flat? The individual components looking 2d instead of 3d?
>>540864280fuck off pedo
>>540870681Any art program can do UI, flat is just shading. I use blender for my UI stuff.
>>540848537It's nice. I like the wonky accordion solo and the melody of the horns. If the intention was for it to just blend in as nice background music and sound silly at times, then nice job.
>>540870962>Photoshop>Blenderhuh does any art program work then, I always assumed UI/GUI used something more specialised.>What do you mean flat? The individual components looking 2d instead of 3d?picrel, stuff that's overly simplified.
>taking ui advice from agdgprobably the weakest part of every gamedev in here, just look at reddit day demos
>>540848241We already have that added in to Redot. We upstreamed it and Juan said he doesn't think the "woke wave" is done yet? I don't know what he means by that.
>>540870681for GUI I use inkscape.
>>540871241What a horrid example. The supposed example of flat design is still way too skeuomorphic and not nearly abstract enough.
>>540871242There's some devs here that have great UI. I'm not going to say who though and set off the triggered retard.
>>540871241No it just requires art knowledge. Most devs here lack that and have flat in engine planes and text like retards though.
>>540871976>>540871976>>540871976
Added some gray/white health blips UI images so the player can see which hearts they are missing that they have not unlocked yet by defeating bosses, or after they take damage.
>>540870370>schizo thinks everyone who disagrees with him is fagoonlmao
>>540872814Nice UI.
>>540848161People mock Jocko for this meme but it actually kinda works. In the 90s my older brother saw me hopping on one foot and bitching because I stubbed my toe really hard. He told me back then something similar to Jocko."Anon, if you ever hurt yourself like that just say 'This doesn't hurt, it feels good!' and it will stop hurting!".I thought he was a retard but I started doing it and haven't stopped to this day because it genuinely flips a switch in your mind and instantly takes your mind off the pain. I've stubbed my toe nearly hard enough to break a bone at times and I just go "Aaaaawwwwwww FUCK that felt good!" and the pain just kind of fades to the background.
