HURPY DURPY DOOPY WOO LOOK AT MUH NEW DIRK EDIT #182363 I REFINED THE LEFT NOSTRIL BY 1 PIXEL
>>541513330
>>541513330got me laughing, nice, but at least increase the size 4 times, I always increase the size of my sprites so it's easier to see.
oh you motherfuckers, listen: steam revenue calculator says trainwiz made 43 fucking grand net from 366 reviews at $19.99. HE is fucking saying that he has fucking netted 300 fucking grand. now use your retarded brain and wonder for yourself for a moment, how in the FUCK, could he possibly net 300 fucking grand off of a review estimation of 43 fucking grand? riddle me that one, retards. we're talking 7 fucking times difference
>>541512250Well?
WIPPY WOPPY BINGUS! NEW DIRK HAS ARRIVED!!!1111!!ONE!!!THIS IS EDIT #353711.3333338 I HAVE FINALLY FIXED AN ISSUE THAT HAS BOTHERED ME IN EDIT 31534-B7 AND NOW THE EYES HAVE BETTER SHADOWS!
>>541513213You do understand that you and your game are in the same category as Nortubel and Hair Receive Bullet, right? It's not a real game anyone wants to play, but I don't think you really have the self-awareness to figure that out. I'm not really the kind of guy to try to make connections between devs and schizo rants, but some of the things you say make me suspect you are guilty of some of the more retarded takes here.
in case any 3D artists want to collab: >>>/3/1019308
schizo hours
>>541514410can you add more light? I think it works as disgusted Dirk but it's kinda dark when compared to others
>>541514598did you make any proggers, arisu?
>>541513330>>541514410Close enough. Welcome back, GrassTard and his nonexistent MMO.
>>541514652Now promise me you'll stop being a fag and work on your game in the programming/gameplay assets and fuck off editing your sprites for the 10000th time
>>541514901So this is what you canceled your MMO for, huh? I expected more from you.
>>541514860Huh?
>>541514997What the fuck are you talking about?
>>541514843Only a lil bit.
>>541514997there will never be an mmo released from here
>>541515516There's one being worked on here that looked promising
>>541514901But I do! I'm not sure what made you so upset, this meme >>541514652 ? I made it from all random sprites I've drawn for over a year now. Maybe this meme format was beaten to death already but I thought it would be fun to make a compilation of already existing pictures and in theme of a game - playing the role you want to play.Unless you talk about that one webm with charm stat changing his portrait a little. Now that one webm was about music slowing down when the game is paused, that one edit wasn't the focus of it, but I had to adress that Dirk shouldn't look like a grug with his charm leveled up. Also ignore fygoon poster, he's still fighting ghosts making fun of him a year ago >541514997>541514860
>>541515626Stop getting agitated by and replying to trolls. if they stopped getting replies they'd leave.you are showing xim it's getting to you.
>>541515516True. It's readily apparent that the last person that tried went mad with FDS and became my slave.
>>541513330>>541514410>>541514901Embarrassing. Go pick on someone whose game is actually shit like Tower of Kalemongo or Marmoreal or Cosmic Call
https://youtu.be/LQyL5-6dZ6g?si=UD37fYzE6HQLS4Lg&t=466when you were first born, what was your greatest gift? hone it and use it to make your game special. because you are a special little guy.

I've been keeping this character a secret for a long time! This is Fygoon's Horrible Ex who left him for General Grex! She's a tramp (but you can see why Joey would go for her, look at that body!). Her mission in Chapter 20 of the Frydarian Tale is a tale of distraction as she tries to blind you to your mission at hand. Find out more next DD!PS She's only 6 in Frydarian Years for all my CHADgooners out there!
im making some possessed goon thingy, how do you make it less goofy & zombified and more like a possessed bunch from john carpenter's ghost of mars?
>>541516697Pale/pink, not green
Hello group. I hope this ok…I just joined the group today. I have spent this week working with Godot 4.5 and well making a game (sort of). It started out as a way to learn (I sadly lost my job back in May and am looking to acquire new skills). I have never made a game before and never used Godot before, so double learning. Is it ok to ask questions here and get guidance? I ask for my questions may appear stupid to those of you who have done this for a long time.Thanks for your consideration.
>>541516790You're japanese using gpt or claud to translate.

>>541516189I'm not agitated, we all need a lil bit of funposting once in a while.
>>541516790Depends on the question, if it's clear and makes sense I answer, it it's stupid and easily googleable etc. then I will insult you or ignore you.
>>541516790>asking to askSign of weakness. You'll be eaten alive.
>>541516790DROP AND GIVE ME 20 PONGS YOU FUCKING MAGGOT
>>541516876I still don't know what that is
>>541516790>>541517025your posts have convinced me. I will nuke Japan a third time
>>541516679That's okay. Joey prefers to watch.
>>541516697add dark shadows around his eyes
has anyone here done games which have an online server? i think i could get away with something simple like aws lambda with a nosql db behind it but duno about how much shit like that really costs
>>541517203I use heroku
Yes, it's cheap and hostable yourself to a certain point if you know how to properly route a network. Outside of that amazon is cheap as hell in low tiers but ramps up with users.
>>541516328I was really good at filling my diapers with shit
>>541517203Server costs are fairly trivial, all things considered. Most cloud services provide you enough starting credit or free trials to carry you through development.
>>541517323You'll fit right in!
>>541516679>Reposts his garbage from a few days ago because nobody cared>Still has to samefaglol
>>541516790>>541516868>>541517025selfposting?
Can I just say it? Fygoon is our hero
>>541516786>>541517136makes sense thanks boss
fygoon? raped
>>541517275>Outside of that amazon is cheap as hell in low tiers but ramps up with users.thats what i heard and the ramps up part sounds worryingbut maybe thats a pointless thing to worry about because the game would have to become a big success for that to ever happen
would va11hala sell the same in todays indie landscape(imagine it is released by a nobody dev)(and self published)
>>541517782>https://aws.amazon.com/gamelift/servers/>15 GB of bandwidth per month with the AWS Free TierJust like make game.
Grextard? Slain.
>>541517632Sorry you're not a TRUE CHADGOONER you'll convert eventually
>>541513962You're still whining about this, bokusimp? Jesus fucking christ get a life
Hotel? Trivago.
Reminder to release your indie game instead of delaying for a literal DECADE or else you will end up like this.
>>541517895Without the publisher it would not be the same, but it would still be a success. It would probably be a $1m+ revenue 1k+ review game instead of a $10m+ 10k+ review game.
>>541518034I still have no idea what that is supposed to be. Is it an ermine? A robot? Just a digital representation of puke?
>>541518065Imagine having a parasocial relationship with an online calculator.
>>541518205only offline calculator love is real
>>541518103If he actually releases Bokube soonish he will have released a game and have more real-life skills than you.

grex was right
Where do you go to market your games?
Grex bros our response?
>>541518103I'm glad that he's acquiring a real trade, hopefully he can drop his game, forget about it and have a real job with real money and less worries.
>>541518529Steam.
i wish i could make good character designs
>>541516790most of game development of any skill is asking computer the questions instead of peoplefinding stuff on google, watching a shitty tutorial, accidentally doing something the bad way and suffering and giving upif you ask questions you will get answers, but you will not like to hear some of the answersa good first step for you is to just try something very simple. like wordle or pong or a simple exploration game. then report back with your progress
>>541518529I posted early updates of our game in developement but further along in our development here. It got a lot of fantastic responses and love which I planted like a seed then stopped posting. Now when we release for early access people will be forced to check it out.

>>541519290nyaa.si
>>541519187every post is a selfpost becuase yourself posted it
>>541513962Does steam revenue calculator really think the average sale to review ratio is 16 sales per review? That's absolutely retarded.
>>541518726I look like this.
>>541520108Steam revenue calculator has been known to be terrible for years. Multiple devs here were confused by it being super inaccurate. Actual ratio numbers are, on average are 30-60, 80-120 for outliers. But don't try to expect the average /agdg/ to understand math, that's why they're gamedevs. because everything else was too hard lmao
>>541520108The Steam revenue calculator shows net revenue, not gross.
>>541520295At $20 a sale, it'd be $7 after taxes if it's based in the USA. Says it's 366 reviews,.By your own high school dropout math that's somehow 43 grand, 43,000/7 a sale is 6143 sales. (rounding up, but you don't know what that is).6143 sales with 366 reviews is 16-17 sales per review. There's no estimation anywhere that gives that as the average sale-to-review ratio except from mathematically illiterate retards. Maybe you should spend less time moaning and pissing on /agdg/ and more time not failing your remedial community college algebra classes, hmm?
>>541520605Not all sales are to people in the states though. Thirdies aren't paying $20.
>>541518103Multiple different reasons why he was delayed. Some things were circumstances, like having to earn a living, and some things were Bokudev's own fault, like poor strategy, mismanagement, and listening to aggydaggies.It would be silly to release now if 1% extra effort could improve end result experience quality by 100%. And it would be foolish to delay if 50% extra effort would be required for a meager 3% better end result experience.
>>541520702>the new schizo theory is going to be that underspace was bought overwhelmingly by vietnamese
>>541520605I'm NTA. Steam revenue calculator uses 1 review = 20 sales, and then adds in several adjustments as you can see from picrel. It does not include business or personal income tax. It also does not include other costs and publisher splits.There's no need to be so upset.
>>541520091no u
>>541520914>Steam revenue calculator uses 1 review = 20 salesThat's insanely low and nowhere near the average though.
>>541513962>>541520702>>541520863t. trainwiz selfposting
>>541520975If only there were actual devs here able to tell us their numbers
>>541521071Trainwiz here. My game made $300,000 but my publisher and Gabe Newell raped my butthole and I was paid $90,000 before getting raped yet again by federal and state taxes.
>>541521261Fake news. Trainwiz made 1 million after taxes
>>541521261how does 40k sales translate to 300k gross
>>541520975I'm not saying I agree with it. I was just stating how the calculation is done. It's not entirely unreasonable. I usually post the Gamalytic gross revenue number, since that's a good middle ground and does a good job of including in-app purchase revenue, and the steam revenue calculator number is only ~20% lower than that.Gamalytic - https://gamalytic.com/game/1111930>Gross revenue: $183.8k ($119.8k - $247.8k)VG Insights - https://app.sensortower.com/vgi/game/underspace>$171k gross revenueGame-Stats - https://games-stats.com/steam/game/underspace/>Revenue Estimate: ~$140,000
>>541520108>>541520228I think it's only trolls that assume a fixed sales/review proportion. It makes sense that the proportion can vary wildly, and that it's reasonable that the range for most entries could be as large as for instance 10-150 sales/review.Sales/review can also change over time even without new sales, for instance if people play the game over days and weeks and only after finishing, or even some time after finishing, leave a review.
>>541521261>game generates enough money for you to live off for multiple years>after steam and the government are finished robbing you, you can barely live for 1 year off itthis shit is crazy
>>541521397>and that it's reasonable that the range for most entries could be as large as for instance 10-150 sales/review.That makes every single estimator completely fucking useless then, because that range is MASSIVE
>>541521261What was the publisher cut? 30%
>>541521531That'd be 40% if he ain't bullshitting. What a stupid asshole taking a deal like that.
>>541521507It can give a very rough ballpark figure, if nothing else. Just have to remember that it's a very rough ballpark figure.
>>541521507>That makes every single estimator completely fucking useless thenWell no shit, the only people who use them are people with no games and no money and why 99% of them have patreon links.
>>541521261I'm the real Trainwiz and I can confirm my butthole has not been raped.
>>541521394But there are also sales on itch.io. I don't know if that was included in different calculations.
>bokusimp is back and raging againOkay so /agdg/ is going to be unusable for another week, right. See ya.
>>541521591Does he still have to pay the cut if the publisher is defunct? Though he probably already paid most of it while the publisher was going strong.
>>541521591>40%It's 30% for most publishers, where in your retarded ass are you getting 40% from?
>>541521808I'm mad at him so I'm going to use a bigger number.
Anyone else notice how Underspace has an abnormally high follower count? What's the explanation for that? Bots?
Don't mind me, just adding more fuel to the fire because this thread's not going to be good.
>>541521874>>541521261>My game made $300,000 but my publisher and Gabe Newell raped my butthole and I was paid $90,000 before getting raped yet again by federal and state taxes.$300,000, -30% for Gabe leaving $210,000. If he had $90k remaining after the publisher, the publisher took $120,000, which is 40% of $300,000, so 40% "before platform fees".
>>541521921It's the viet cong propping him up
>>541522092Are you actually retarded
>>541522092You know thats not actually trainwiz rightLike I know the average poster here falls for bait but they don't think that likeNotch or Eric barone actually browse these threads, do theyPlease tell me you guys were joking
>>541522196Why would it actually be trainwiz?
Your whole personality revolves around what you hate instead of what you love and thats an awful way to live
>>541522001but this is mostly because he has to give money to his publisher
>>541522001>for one reason or anotherVax status?
>>541522340Even if this post is a joke this really is the actual reason
>>541522340Apparently a bunch of them did die
Tried watching a biteme video for the first time and holy shit this is useless. The guy says words that sound like they mean something but for all the talking he does he's not saying anything substantial at all. It's all just platitudes and rhetoric regurgitated from other gamedev gurus
>>541523219no shitif someone was a successful gamedev why would they waste their time making shitty youtube videos when they could be making more games (or enjoying their riches)
>>541523283As advertising while en-route to becoming the successful devbut it only works if you make good games which they don't
>>541523283His job is publicity. He's got two other full-time devs on his team. His problem is that the other two aren't really carrying their weight.
>>541523353its too niche to be useful advertising, the only people who care to watch it are other indie devs (and the incompetent ones at that)
>>541523434He's friendly with a surprising number of Japanese streamers. That's where most of his games have sold.
>>541520975I'm at 45:1 of you include refunds. It ranges a lot though, it can be anywhere between 10/100 sales per review
>>541523434I wouldn't say soYou want to keep it casual, show our game while explaining the mechanics behind it and games where they're utilizedAsarge/Blarghis do this successfully

my game that flopped the hardest is the one i enjoyed the mosti even tried to promote it but nobody respondedsad
>>541526229>or you are in a place where the proportion of posters that are self-admitted pedophiles is relatively very highThen why not quit?If a well adjusted person thinks he's around pedos, he'd call the police and cut ties entirely.For Fygoon to still post here, he might as well think pedophilia is "just lame, sigh" and not one of the worst sins imaginable.Woke zoomers at least go "I'm just CRITICALLY CONSUMING the media so I'm still calling out the bad parts" to jump through hoops, you don't even do that.

What's it called when a player enjoys a game because they mentally imagine themselves as the protagonist? Self insertion? Like when a little kid plays with action figures, and enjoys the fantasy of pretending he's the super hero beating bad guys. Is this called self insertion?
>>541526992no surprise it flopped

Bastard fucking bitch... You are dead now, okay yes?
>>541527207be nice
game appeal is heavily linked with relatability
>>541527265What has being nice ever done for you? To be nice is to fill someone with platitudes and false hope. To exchange small short-term comfort for larger long-term suffering.Be kind, but don't be nice.
>>541526992>it's free on steamYou should have put a price tag on it. Why should Steam advertise a game that it earns nothing from and instead only has expenditure of?Was it Bearcycle? Should have put a price on it, $5 or $10.
Is 4000 wishlists easy to achieve? I don't mean for you specifically, I mean statistically
>>541527583I relesed a free geme on steme and it did gotted 300 reviews....................
>>541526248kill yourself jeetposter
>>541527785What kind of retarded question is that? It completely depends on the quality of your game and how many people want to play it.4k is a meaningless number. The cutoff for hitting popular upcoming is in the 7-10k range. Other than that, wistlists do not matter.
>>541527785No, look at the newest releases on steam on any random day. 90% of them will remain with 0 reviews forever, they are effortless asset flips or babby's first unity project. Even if they tried to amass wishlists, they couldn't.>>541527936They do matter but indirectly, since you are indirectly gathering purchases/reviews. If they truly didn't matter then you'd stop marketing at 7200 wishlists and we both know that's foolish.
>>541528148>90% of them will remain with 0 reviews forever, they are effortless asset flips or babby's first unity project.If I posted my game, it would mindbreak you.
>>541527936>>541528148I'm asking because I already have 4k

>>541532134There are a lot of interacting stuff in Factorio. And a lot of game logic. Game logic might be the worst challenge for Bevy, if I am blindly guessing.Factorio might use Lua for user-scripting. Do you have anything planned regarding scripting? Out of scope?You could try to make a prototype, where you stress test Bevy as much as possible regarding game logic, lots of complexity and interacting objects that are created and destroyed and with all sorts of events. Might not test enough, though, systems might interact.But I cannot in good conscience recommend Bevy, it's too small an engine. Only if you are willing to risk it.Also, would it be singleplayer or support multiplayer? Factorio supports online multiplayer.What platforms?2D or 3D graphics?

>>541535153>>541535768Apologies, I forgot about enemies, they generally don't matter all that much in Factorio. The pathfinding for Factorio is not that amazing as far as I know.https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-317>baked into vector fieldIf I understand you correctly, there are kind of a lot of nodes for that, and the terrain can change, like with landfill.The thousands of units are also easier to handle in Factorio, since enemies more or less bundle up in large groups in one location before pathfinding long distances.>>541535995But no one mentioned flow field pathfinding. And flow field pathfinding has several assumptions regarding when its performance is good or bad. For instance, how would flow field pathfinding be useful if you have thousands of entities pathfinding all from different start and end locations? Like ground-based robots moving materials? I was not considering enemies.You are describing yourself, incompetent faggot.

>>541538936>For instance, how would flow field pathfinding be useful if you have thousands of entities pathfinding all from different start and end locations?>You are describing yourself, incompetent faggotYou'll be eating your words when my flowfieldlike gets into the top sellers on steam.Also as you say it depends. If start and end destinations are semi-permanent structures referenced by the job system, like>go to stockpile 3>pick up wood planks>go to workshop 7>deliver wood planksThere will presumably be many agents walking to structures from anywhere in order to complete jobs, so you could compute a flow field for each structure that directs entities towards itself, which get updated asynchronously as the map changes. Maybe if an agent follows the flow field to get to a destination but encounters an obstruction it sends a signal to the relevant structure to regenerate it's flow field since the map has changed since the last time it was computed. Debounce that of course to prevent thousands of agents prompting the flow field regeneration the moment they walk into a wall. The flow fields could also be chunked so only a section has to be regenerated. For non-permanent destinations like a plank of wood sitting on the ground presumably only a single entity is coming to get that so there's no need to generate whole flow field and you can probably just have that one entity A* to that object.
>>541540618You complete mess.What if the game has a 1000 semi-permanent structure entities? Is the game supposed to calculate all possible combinations of flow fields between them? 1000x1000 = 1_000_000 flow fields? That have to be updated whenever a structure is added or removed if structures are obstacles as well? Are flow fields not for one starting point and one end point?Time complexities and scaling.It has been ages since I last looked at pathfinding algorithms, I will note. But you still seem like a complete mess.Factorio's game design is, I believe, greatly warped to be able to handle the typical numbers of different kinds of objects that it has in typical playthroughs.

>>541541936>What if the game has a 1000 semi-permanent structure entities? Is the game supposed to calculate all possible combinations of flow fields between them?Anon you are confused. You calculate a flow field towards a single point, not between two points. Maybe you're thinking of an A* path. I'm talking about generating a single flow field for each structure and caching it, and then updating only when stale flow fields result in collisions. With this approach the main constraint is more the size of the map rather than the number of agents or structures.
>>541544619>.Whodevs keep winning. You have to be insane to permanently tie your game to a community with people like this.
>>541544508>cord devs are nazis>yet they still ban me for showing a game with ai voice acting in itHypocritical fucks.
now that i'm on linux main I think I'm top shit. tho I do find myself missing a few windows only extensions that I'd use like astrogrep and bulk rename utility. so I have built a utility to find the most common 8byte sequences in any given files. then I just need to figure out which files from my project go into the .pck as is, and which get compiled or converted (like gd to gdc or png to stx). maybe it will be better to just save an export of the project as a .pck then use some non-converting tool to unpack the .pck to put the raw files on the filesystem without converting anything back. then get the most common 8byte values and build a dictionary. I have a command line tool in C that reads each file and puts the top 1000 into a sqlite database, for each file. then I will make some select statement to get for entire project, then use a script to generate some C/C++ source code from that, to set the zstandard compression mode to use a dictionary, and to pass in this generated dictionary that I would have to hard code in there.>>541517203i host at home. so far no one's bothered to DDOS me and if they did it would be a net win, I can still look shit up on my phone if I really need to but it would just increase my coding and gamedev rate.
>2/35 spritesheets done
>>541544875That makes more sense, but a Factorio map can still be huge, and you are correct in pointing out the size of the map potentially being an issue. And if there are a thousand structures, or ten thousand, that is still a lot of flow fields to create and update. If a Factorio grid is 1000 times 1000 cells, and you have 1000 structures, and you have a flow field for each structure that must cover the whole map or a large proportion of it, you still end up with too much. Maybe you then can combine different approaches, like in the Factorio link, but that would be more complex.Flow fields seem way more suitable for the case where a single order is given once in a while for a clump of RTS units to pathfind to a single location, than for thousands of workers pathfinding all over the place frequently all from different positions.
I have to prepare some assets for tonight, but I did one thing for automatic positioning of background elements and I was able to do it with a single varriable. Going to be annoying when the 14 other assets are done.
>>541544875>>541545894The number of structures would also be an issue as far as I can figure out, since the more structures, the more flow fields.
>>541545894>If a Factorio grid is 1000 times 1000 cells, and you have 1000 structures, and you have a flow field for each structure that must cover the whole map or a large proportion of it, you still end up with too much. Ok let's say a flow field is a grid represented as an array of 3 bit integers, so each grid cell can contain 8 possible integer values, each int corresponding to the direction an agent can move if they find themselves in that grid cell, so up down left right and all the diagonals.So for a 1000x1000 map each flow field is an array consisting of 1 million elements, if they're 3 bit integers then each map will occupy 375kb of ram, that's slightly bigger than pic related. So if you have 1000 structures on the map each with their own flow field, you're using up 375MB of ram. That, needless to say, is pretty trivial with today's hardware.

Been working on adding visuals to the game as well as removing a few bugs that have cropped up. I haven't fully decided on an art style so nothing looks consistent yet. The scoreboard does now update with the score.There's still a few bugs that need fixing (there's one in the webm as the player was stuck controlling the "fallen" team member). I will be adding a basic stadium model, court markings and hopefully some kind of background music eventually.

>>541547612>So if you have 1000 structures on the map each with their own flow field, you're using up 375MB of ram. That, needless to say, is pretty trivial with today's hardware.It's at the edge of what it can handle. And the number of structures does matter. Increase the cell count by a factor 10, or the number of structures by a factor 10, and the flow fields would, if your calculation is correct and I understand you correctly, take GBs of RAM. If you use the game design to impose strict limits, and stress tests the limits, it might be controllable regarding worst cases, at least for that aspect.And then there are other factors. Like, how often are structures created and destroyed? Does structure creation, cost cell count number of steps? Can other obstacles be created and destroyed, and how often in the worst case?Can there be multiple players, and can each player have a structure count?>and then updating only when stale flow fields result in collisions.This might work out well in all cases.It might also work out well in most cases, but poorly in some.It might also work out very poorly in the majority of cases.I am a bit suspicious and wary of it. You could for instance test it.By "work out poorly", I am referring both to the computational cost, and also how the units effectively pathfind. If the units pathfind in a way that isn't a bother to players, it's whatever, but if the units pathfind in a way that frustrates players or players find intolerable or hinders gameplay in bad ways, it is less good.Might also be some variations of how that staleness is handled. For instance, if destroying a structure, and that destruction enables an extreme shortcut, but no units use it, player frustration.If it turns out poorly, and you are forced to update all flow fields, then it might depend on the cost of repairing the flow field. What would the cost be on average for a certain subset of most common cases? What would the cost at worst be in the worst case?
>>541547731Depends on the colony sim. Study other colony sims, if they give away their secrets and insights.

Increase the cell count by a factor 10, or the number of structures by a factor 10, and the flow fields would, if your calculation is correct and I understand you correctly, take GBs of RAM.Yeah no shit if you increase all the numbers of anything by a factor of 10 most things will fall apart. I used the numbers you provided.There are lots of candidates for optimization. You can break the world up into chunks, have structures only generate flow fields for their own neighboring chunks limiting the size of each flow field, then some other system handles agents traveling long distances over many chunks, maybe you can have neighboring structures share the same flow field to reduce duplication. >And then there are other factors. Like, how often are structures created and destroyed?As I said it doesn't matter how often the map changes because you can re-generate flow fields on demand or incrementally rather than having to do 1000 of them every time anything on the map changes. And even then if you've played Rimworld or something similar the apm of the average player building structures isn't that high.>This might work out well in all cases.>It might also work out well in most cases, but poorly in some.>It might also work out very poorly in the majority of cases.Yeah, the only people who get to have perfect games with no tradeoffs or concessions to the limits of modern computing technology are people making something simple like pong, or ideaguys.

I'd tell them: "it's an intelligence filter: if you're not smart enough to even pass intro physics, you shouldn't bother trying to be a medical doctor. And really, do (you) want to be treated by someone who isn't smart enough to pass intro physics?"What this banal anecdote has to do with making pong is left as an exercise for the reader.
>>541553205When you throw something upwards in real life, usually it doesn't go straight up, rather it moves a bit in the direction you're facing. You should add a slight forward velocity in the direction you're facing when throwing the pumpkin up. Basically throwing something straight up looks unnatural.

Genuine question:how do I practice being humble to overcome jealousy?Every time I see a viral indie success story I'm consumed by jealousy and it's miserable.The worst part is I'm not jealous of actors or people with extreme wealth, only successful developers.I love gave dev but my extreme jealousy makes it difficult to continue.
hello anons, experienced vfx houdinifag here; want to make a city builder. what engine would accommodate my specific type of autism.
>>541560445Probably Unity,but anything other than unreal.
>>541560202
>>541560548interesting. i was leaning unity/godot. is ue specifically bad for city builders/mngmt stuff?
>>541560923It's bad for anything that isn't a first/third person shooter
>>541560202Use it as fuel
>>541561082wonderful. i will start with godot because i keep seeing license fuckery from unity every few years. i'm sure i'll come to regret this choice in a few years. thanks.
i made progress today
>>541560202It's an instinctive emotional response so it takes a lot of practice to control. As with all emotional responses, try to focus on the conscious logic.Recognize and be conscious of the illogical nature of jealousy as wanting something for nothing. Other people have a thing because they paid the cost to obtain that thing. You do not have that thing because you did not pay the cost. Being jealous is wanting to have the thing without paying the cost: a logical impossibility.
>>541561463There is no good choice, but at least you started somewhere
I must've made fun of cris' "progress" a handful of times over the years, yet it's 10 years today since I wrote in a journal that I totally hated my job and would be determined to finish a portfolio so I could become a illustrator for games/animationsI have nothing in my portfolioThen I said I'd start a game to make assets for, so I could be a 3D artist, five years ago... I've got a folder with some blender models with unfinished texturesHappy Sunday God bless
I'm trying to make a pixel art concrete texture. I don't know how to make art - especially stuff that doesn't have definable borders, like bricks. How do I make pixel concrete look good? All I have right now is a 64x64 grey square.
My games are not for the unwashed masses
>>541558490That's true. Was thinking of having it go straight up for puzzles. Now I gotta take into account the angle

>>541562591Flat
>>541562524yep and even with a low scope I get discouraged so easily. I think the clickbait youtubers are right, my dopamine is all fried. I think I get too addicted to verythinf too easily. If I switched off my Internet service and got an old phone all my problems would be fixed and I am not even kidding
>>541559752I haven't changed the body model. Should they be thicker?
Look, I tried to keep an open mind, I tried not to be a chud, but...I just can't deal with poles. They're retarded, irrational, hysteric, and worst of all, loud. polish money is also worth less than that of a Western Euro, or an American, and poles are not as forgiving customers as Ukrainians or Belarusians are.I'm going to restrict my game in poland so that I don't have to deal with them.

>>541562789you're picking up a very difficult material, concrete is basically a grey square and any texture on it is very small that you can't easily paint. What size you want it and how much colors you want to utilize? Any hard limits? From NES era the simpliest concrete sprites were just gray squares with occasional darker noise or occasional circular shapes with brighter rim on one side and darker rim on the other. You could go with stylized style in which you just make big pixel brushes of different gray colors. The easy way is to make your concrete cracked and work around cracks with different shades of grey, or add a little bit of color to make it look more interesting.

There's no way gamedev is harder than webdev.
>Have things working fine>Not sure what to do nextHelp
>>541560202At some point you just have to accept that for 100 bad games, there'll be 1 bad game that succeeds anyway.Or there'll be a good game, and you should stop being jealous and start trying to understand WHY it's popular. You can do that with bad games too. Once you adapt your mindset "why did they succeed but I didn't" from "they must've got lucky" to "there is some useful information to glean from this" you will be closer to success
>>541567324If a game succeeds, it is by definition a good game. It's more like sometimes someone can randomly blunder into accidentally making a good game, but generally they paid the cost anyways through years of failure before and after. In some ways the ones who accidentally blunder into making a good game are less lucky than the ones who deliberately made a good game because the ones doing it deliberately can generally do it more consistently.
>>541566961webdev is easy, it's just an absolute mess. you don't need the fancy fucking react crap shilled by the jeets.
>>541567626There are people who will get a successful video or game or whatever because it's "bad in a funny way". People who use this as a basis for continuing to make content will often trap themselves into becoming a joke.This isn't that common with games though because people don't like paying money for bad joke games.
>>541560202It's weird how you don't want to appeal to people but still seemingly want viral popularityWhy should others fund YOUR self-serving art project? You don't want to appeal to people, that's fine. But don't expect them to buy your game.
>>541566961>>541567765webdev is technically easier but:1. there are security concerns. I still remember the cold sweats and nightmares I had when an important client had a breach and I thought I was gonna get sued. turns out it was caused by an outdated plesk by their hosting provider but still.2. for web dev you need clients which is kind of like going for job interviews only repeatedly. for gamedev you can just make a game and start earning money.
Think I'm fairly happy with this camera now. Have to adjust the ships turning so it turns around on an angle instead of straight on, but other than that.
>>541568791is this an idle/clicker? if not, what do you actually do in the game?
>>541568967Auto battler. travel in space, fight enemies, get equipment from a large pool that works well together to prepare for faction leader fights, destroy faction leaders, head over to the next zone where the battles are somewhat different, do it all over again for 5 zones.
>>541567765>le vanilla javascript developerok retard
>>541569278FTL comparisons are inevitable,but why did you decide on auto battle gameplay?
>>541567765>webdev is easy, it's just an absolute messPainful truth. Last project I was on could've been handled top to bottom by 4 people in a jiffy, instead it was split into two teams of 6 people each that weren't supposed to communicate between eachother and we were handed lists of libraries and services we have to use because of corporate partnerships, then they'd change their mind about something and start over from scratch every 8 weeks like fucking clockwork. I was there 2 years, project not done, company got sold without ever producing a result at all, we were all fired and they took the company name for a financial services app exclusively for iOS. It's a joyous industry where you do huge amounts of work to produce nothing of value and have your compensation stolen out from under you. Actually a pretty solid fit for bitter anti-social devs who'd rather be applying for jobs than actually working.

>>541569438Originally it wasn't, It used to be a turn based semi RPG, vid related. Interacting with lots of different races, lots of dialogue, lots of events, story, etc. etc. but a few months into it I realized just how over scoped I was, and I cut out the majority of it, which just ended up turning it into an auto battler rogue-like.

>>541571302Good point.
>>541570976This looks like an entirely different game, everything from mechanics to visuals.I think both builds looks good in their own right,and I understand cutting mechanics because of over scope,but it seems like a massive waste of resources.

>>541520165Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Y'know, I just had a thoughtYou know how some RPGs are about "killing god"? What if an RPG subverted that by having that be the VILLAIN'S goal instead of the hero; i.e you're trying to stop the villain from killing or overthrowing or whatever your world's god
>>541574732yeah it's the same style as CDDA, grid based turn based, I really love that style like caves of qud and pokemon mystery dungeons
>>541575117name for your game: Swipe Left
i liek sucking cock, what is the best game engine for devs like me?
>>541575168The reason those RPGs have you killing something that grand and strong is because it's cool. It's not as cool to try to stop villains from doing it.
Megabonk is kinda shit. I realized this as I got more hours into it. It's fun to start with but as you push further into the game the awful rng nature of it reveals itself. Most runs get ruined in a few minutes because you don't get what you need to succeed. If you survive longer you tend to get caught by some bullshit with monster collisions like getting stuck or something falling on top of you or just never having found an extra jump so you can't escape.Example of how bad it is; there's a bunch of weapons where you need to luck into extra projectiles or projectile bounce on level ups to be able to kill even the basic mobs that spawn. If you don't get lucky those weapons are worthless.
>>541575747I know, hence why I added "overthrew". What if the villain performed a coup and overthrew a god and became the new god?
>>541575812It's crazy how many popular games just outright suck, I guess this is a new phenomenon with the brownification of the world
>>541575843>"overthrew""overthrowing"*, whoops
>Unity just realized they've had an arbitrary code execution bug built into the engine since 2017
>>541575948>It's crazy how many popular games just outright suckI don't mean to be that guy, but maybe either you're looking for the wrong games or you're losing touch, or the industry is, or a mix>>541576048>Every Unity game developed since 2017-2024 essentially has this bug>Multiplayer games in the engine might be unsafe to playAt least we'll get a PS5 or switch 2 exploit out of this (I hope)
>>541575843Well, your original question was about preventing them from overthrowing. At that point just make the original "god" evil right away.If you were trying to subvert tropes you should try making the game about befriending god, not killing him.
>>541576224it can also be true that standards are way lower now because the IQ of the world has fallen
>>541575843 (me)>What if the villain performed a coup and overthrew a god and became the new god?Starting to realize I'm reinventing the wheel and that most RPG villains are essentially already this
>>541576417the IQ of the world has fallen, billions must stop buying slop (which is sadly impossible)
>>541576587as long as they buy my slop idc
>>541576323The idea was that "what if the villain wanted to destroy god and take his place as the world's new god" but, as said, I realized that's essentially what a lot of RPG villains are already
>>541575948Don't get me wrong. I fully understand why it got popular. It is fun when you're starting out and unlocking a bunch every time. It does a good job with the dopamine drip.Only 17% have the achievement for completing forest t3. Most people didn't play enough to reach the point where the problems start showing up or they quit as they got frustrated because of them.
>>541576048nothing personelle
For today's progress, I opened Aseprite for the first time in weeks, created some new textures and adjusted some existing ones.Thanks for reading my plog (my progress blog.)
>>541577539That level layout looks like it sucks, honestly
>>541577539He looks like he's grabbing his cock
>>541575948>It's crazy how many popular games just outright suckYou're getting this impression because you're making the mistake of actually playing the whole game. What popular games do is be really good for the first 10% or so and then count on the vast majority of people never actually getting past that.
>>541577982>>541578296it's over... ;_;
>>541572429so when you said you wanted to appeal to others, you were lying, and what you actually want is to suck your own dick
I have 3 weeks of vacation now from work and I wanna use the time to get into game dev. I'm very good in art, music, sound, etc. so I guess that's already quite good for starters. I also know some unreal basics from tutorials and I'm good in Blender. However, UV mapping, etc. is still a bit tricky to me. On the other hand I'm not sure wether 3D is the way to go or do 2D pixel art style. I recently built some first 2D sprites and honestly it's much more time consuming then quickly building a house in Blender. You can get a nice looking view in Unreal in a rather short time but to get a similar effect in 2D you need to have the frame FULL of beauty and hand-drawn perfection. So that's why i'm leaning towards 3D again. Probably some comfy Ghibli/Stylized graphic like pic related. As a practize I wanna build a walking sim first. Not much programming, not many functions. Just a cozy environment to explore and learn some lore. Before I open up Blender and start building, do you have any advices or suggestions? Thank you!

>>541580136A "blorbo" is an endearing character. If you play shitty little game and find yourself thinking about a character after you've gone on to do other things, that character is the blorbo. Sometimes presented as characters meant to be love interests to the player, but that definition is only used by people who want to fuck their own characters.

>>541569828A game out of the DOS era is not a commercial product, but he's treating it as such. I wouldn't have said anything if he treated his game purely as a learning project like Gob and Blorb or a hobby passion project like Nortubel, but he clearly thinks more of it.

don't tell girls you're a gamedev. I repeatedly made this mistake and whatever little attraction they might have had evaporated instantly.software development, but especially game development dries up pussy like nothing else.in contrast I remember in senior year of high school the teacher asked me to go to our computer lab and install a new motherboard in a faulty computer. so I went there and did it and there was some other class there at the time and this girl asked me where I learned to do this stuff and I mumbled something because I was a shy loser.on the last day of high school that girl came up to me and asked me if I had a girlfriend and then asked for my number. the only interaction we had prior to that was the two sentences we exchanged in the computer lab while I was plugging in the psu to the motherboard.so to reiterate: DO NOT BRAG TO GIRLS ABOUT TYPING CODE INTO A COMPUTER NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE MAKING.

>>541571437Well I transferred over around 30% of the systems I had, so at least it was something. The overall idea was just too big, even if I had an opportunity to go back and work on it for another 2 years, I probably wouldn't be close to done. Even just this auto battler will end up taking me a development time of 7-8 months. What I had planned out for the RPG would prob take me five years. Going back to developing my CRPG after this game anyway (at least that battle system and stat system were all done, so I can get back to it easily, but I'll be downgrading the graphics to psx/dreamcast level)

Hell yeah, finally some good PROGRESS. Keep it up, broski.
>>541588712>Chapter 18'sInteresting, so how many chapters/missions will there be in The Frydarian Tale?
>>541589732Currently I have the lore and pace written out to 37 Chapters with plans in motion for the sequel in the sense of how they did Majora's Mask where it'll be a kooky side story but familiar.
>>541553205Nice.
>That one inconvenient thing in your game that is really easy to fix but you're more interested in other things so you never do it
>>541589289Correct
>>541590017Very cool, so you are planning to make Frydarian Tale into a series of sorts? I'm looking forward to it.

>>541590330Sick. More games need to be epic worlds like that.
why are save systems so hard
>>541590708I don't conform to one thing like some sort of fag. I have a switch, switch 2, PS5, Steam Deck, Anbernic, GPD Win Pocket 4, Custom built framework Cyberdeck, and a dual boot PC system one with a 3950x/2080S and one with a 9950x/5080. Also have a few different machines for testing on if necessary ranging from 2018ish laptops, a modern gaming laptop, a shitty low end gaming PC, and a modern intel 12th gen PC.
how would you turn sex into a game? I'm thinking maybe there's a specific rhythm you need to maintain and that rhythm changes over time. You have to pay attention to queues from your partner to figure out if you need to go faster/slower/deeper, etc. Any other ideas?
i think i confused liking videogames with being able to make videogames

Why does every engine insist on implementing its own RHI from scratch?Look in the "drivers" directory of Godot and you'll see d3d12, vulkan, gles3, metal.Why don't they pick one good RHI library (bgfx, Diligent Engine, SDL GPU, sokol_gfx) and either depend on it or vendor it?Same question, actually even more so, for other things like input and audio.I get it for AAA level engines, but for indie and AA tier stuff it feels like an extreme duplication of effort.It would also make porting to consoles a damn sight easier. Right now if you want to port a Godot game to PS5, you need to either invest a serious amount of time and effort in porting the engine yourself or pay a third party to do it using their own fork. Meanwhile console versions of SDL (including SDL GPU) and bgfx are available free once you're under NDA.
>>541593891ain't reading all that, make pong
>>541593891This is why you should make your own engine
>>541593891>Right now if you want to port a Godot game to PS5, you need to either invest a serious amount of time and effort in porting the engine yourself or pay a thirdthats why I use Unity, it will export to anything I ask it to
>>541593891>Right now if you want to port a Godot game to PS5, you need to either invest a serious amount of time and effort in porting the engine yourself or pay a third party to do it using their own fork.Or you buy the PS5 export template from w4games and click "export".
>AAA make slop unoptimized UE5 games>indies then pay the unreal bad reputation taxit's like the unity shovelware logo shit from a decade ago but even more retarded
>>541593891Different RHIs have different limitations. Godot has a very bleeding edge renderer and tries to cover as many cases as best as possible.>>541594193Unity is the same. That's why there's the clusterfuck of 3 different render pipelines.
>>541594006trvke
>>541594660>Unity is the same. That's why there's the clusterfuck of 3 different render pipelines.URP and HDRP are just two different stacks of the same pipeline.built-in doesnt exist anymore as of unity 6
>>541594587Its upsetting to see people blame UE5 for the poor performance of the Oblivion remaster. Its a Frankenstein game with two engines running simultaneously and gamebyro has so many problems to begin with. I'm surprised it runs as well as it does.
I'm considering making a homebrew game for some retro console, just for fun/practice. Should I? If so, what platform should I target? I'm looking at the following: >PS1 >N64 >PS2 >GBA >GC/Wii >NDS
>>541597730PS1
How would you structure the code for stats achievements? I did something like thispublic class Achievement <T> {// name, description, int reachedIndex etc...public T[] goalValues;public void Check (T checkValue) {}}public class AchievementInt : Achievement <int> {override public void Check (int checkValue){//iterate through goalValues}}in AchievementManager I declarepublic AchievementInt cleanshots;public AchievementInt maxstreak;public AchievementInt shotsscored;and on stats get updated event, I call CheckAchievements () {cleanshots.Check(gamestats.cleanshots);maxstreak.Check(gamestats.maxstreak);shotsscored.Check(gamestats.shotsscored);}Is this okay? I feel like I have to do something like this because each achievement needs to check separate stat value in the code. I don't like that I type them one by one. But I don't see any other way.
>>541597730pong for the Personal Computer
>>541597730have you considered gameboy, nes, snes, or even pico8?
>>541598220Those are *too* retro(But the real reason is I want to use a compiled high level lang like C or C++)
>>541598317 (me)And forgot to clarify: that's the reason I don't want to do those consoles in particular. I don't feel like doing 6502 assembly or whatnotI'd be fine with using C for the GBA etc

>>541601006and what game has this game dev made
>>541601123He's a homebrew dev, not a """real""" gamedev, but at the very least he's committed to his hobby
>>541600678yeah he came out of da closet a while ago
i should never have attempted to make a systems game with deep emergent complexityf this noise YO
>>541512932I'm wondering if I should make the jump from making my game as a HL2 mod to it's own thing in Godot. I love the vanilla Source assets and such but I also find the engine a bit of a cock in the ass for what I'm trying to do sometimes.I wonder--if I do move to Godot instead and just steal the assets from Valve, what would the chances of me getting to legal trouble if I just host the game in some obscure website for free?
Is it better to have a male player character with female companion, or a female player character with a male companion?
>>541602947Why not both? Let the player choose their character's gender, and the companion's gender becomes the opposite
>>541602947>male player character with female companionthis
Remember that if they are:Better artist = can't gamedevBetter coder = asocial autistMakes more progress = joblessMore succesful = luckNever stop the cope
>>541603115It's a story driven game with a lot of dialogue where the player character and companion character have asymmetric roles that can't be swapped out for each other.
>>541602947>s it better to have a male player character with female companionYes.
>>541602947>a female player character with a male companion?Cuckcoded
>>541603778Pokemon and Astral Chain have done the "companion character is the opposite gender of the player character regardless whether you're a boy or a girl" thing though, and they're pretty dialogue/story heavy iirc
>>541603278this is unironically true. if someone is better than me at anything its due to unfair advantages.same goes for success, I am blacklisted by the algorithm which is the only reason I am not a millionaire yet.
>>541604128Pokemon male and female protagonists are largely blank slates and interchangeable. I wrote the male and female characters as very distinct in personality from one another and will have to really commit to choosing which one is player controlled, at least at the start (I could have control jump back and forth between them, but the one the player controls at the start is going to set the pace for the rest of the game).
>>541603934kannadev...
How do I design the world map?>add different cool areasYeah I know that but like what kinds and how should I do that?
>>541604546>Pokemon male and female protagonists are largely blank slates and interchangeableBrendan/May and Calem/Serena have backstories when they're your rival.
>>541604687 (me)And yes, they aren't that DEEP of a backstory (i.e Brendan/May is basically just the professor's kid, and Calem/Serena is the baguette next door), but they're backstories nonetheless
>>541604675>what kindscool kinds that are varied and different>how should I do that?by adding them
>>541604675Throw shit at the wall and see what sticks irl.
>>541602947generally, male character with female companionthere are exceptions and it might suit your audience or style better to do otherwise but 90% chance you want male main character female companion
>>541603934they put a lot of effort into the rendering but the animations feel weirdly stiff there

i literally can't play video games anymorei bought a bunch of titles from the steam sale, played them for 5-15 minutes each, got bored and immediately went back to gamedev.gamedev is the greatest game. no other game can possibly come close. and gamercattle that spend thousands of hours playing someone else's game instead of attempting to make their own deserve to be used, belittled and exploited for the profit of the gamedev master race
>>541606552Oh no, you're turning elitist and looking down upon your target audienceNow you're at home with AAAslop devs
>>541606552If you said this about any other artform you'd be laughed at btw
>>541575812>Example of how bad it is; there's a bunch of weapons where you need to luck into extra projectiles or projectile bounce on level ups to be able to kill even the basic mobs that spawn. If you don't get lucky those weapons are worthless.That's any pick-three or similar roguelike though.In noita there are a ton of useless spells, unless you get a certain perk or some other spell and then that otherwise useless spell becomes the basis of your god run

>>541623983Was that so hard, faggot?
>>541623789This just isn't true. 99% of the time I see an issue with godot in this thread it is a user error, and like clockwork, people come in and explain/guide/correct the user on why they are stupid and doing something wrong and you get 1 of 2 results.1. They say "well thats a stupid way of doing it, unreal or unity does it X way" AKA they had to do something slightly different than they already understood and they are blaming the software instead of understanding all software works differently (it would be like bitching about Z up vs Y up when switching 3D software).or 2. They immediately stop replying because their issue has been resolved and they are embarrassed(this one happens the most).Personally, we've had 0 issues with godot so far and our game is quite more complex than a lot of the stuff being posted here ITT. Regardless, all engines are essentially the same and can do most of what people are looking to do some have strong suits better than others (like Unity 2D sucks vs Godot and the reverse for 3D).Too many people in these threads are too terrible at programming or anything else to truly be having the arguments they think they can have.
>>541624118Eh, I dunno. My biggest takeaway from this "godot is good you're just le mad and I'm not" shitshow is to just not bother with threads like these and do shit on my own and just think for my self, especially since half of every thread is just insincere shitposting and fygoonslopOnly recurring gamedev thread safe from shitposting and fygoonslop is /gedg/ but it's slower than a snail>>541624320tldr
