>>541626738Yikes. OP is bitter AF. Megabonk is a super deep and good game and I know this because it sold well.
>>541626930nobody mentioned megabonk
Success breeds jealousy.
>>541627097>I'm going to make a spiritual successor of my favourite game>But worseHow come every idea from here is this?
Good op
>>541627226At least anon has the self-awareness to recognize he's making [existing game, but worse]. Most retards here can't.
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.
Agdg should study board games to realize there's only a few objectives that exist in game design.Most of game objectives boils down to getting the most tokens, conquering most territory, killing all the other pieces, killing the king piece, getting most points, collecting all tokens, reaching the end of the level or a certain position, surviving enemy waves and surviving the timer.
>>541594587>>AAA make slop unoptimized UE5 games>>indies then pay the unreal bad reputation tax>it's like the unity shovelware logo shit from a decade ago but even more retardedi keep telling you retards that gamers are all subhuman and have a collective iq of 65 but you all just don't fucking listen
What is the verdict on Genokids? Did it do well?
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!
>>541627715Unreal is the engine of jeet asset flips. I remember a while back, I took a look at the median review score of games by engine, and Unreal was significantly lower than Unity and Godot.
>>541628417Its tracking for tower of currymonger numbers. Not great.
you're supposed to take some of your favorite games and smoosh them togetherit's just an endless process of synthesis
>>541628417I assume the dev (wrongly) expected it to do better, but I knew.

>>541629906The /v/ threads. Just ignore the dragon shitposters.>hate 4chanMay I inquire, what are you doing here?
Sounds like someone gets a little triggered by "tRAnsPhoBia" (there is no such thing, it is natural and good to oppose evil sexual degeneracy).

>>541631338relax
Spent all night just making water droplets. They start as nothing, grow into a ball, sag into a teardrop, fall, then collide with puddles. This should have taken like 30 minutes max but I pay the idiot tax so it took much longer.
Something I changed in the past 4 months broke a shader in the build version of the game and I just noticed it. Now I have to figure out what the hell it was and fix it.
>>541631379I'm the most relaxed one can be
Friendly reminder to ANNOTATE YOUR WORK AND MAKE CONSTANT NOTES AND COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT SOMETHING IS AND HOW IT WORKS BECAUSE YOU *WILL* FORGET AND THEN WASTE TWO DAYS JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DID AND THEN WASTE ANOTHER TWO DAYS REPEATING OLD MISTAKES YOU ALREADY FIGURED OUT!!!AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Bastard bitch!!! I kill you now!!!
>>541631591Yeah, duh. At least 40% of my code is made out of comments.
>tfw I'm at the part of this project where I actually have to make the game partwelp, time to project hop again
>>541631741that person doesn't seem nice. Maybe some high-speed lead will fix him.
>>541631591Just give it to chatgpt and ask it what it does better yet just have chatgpt make it and it'll annotate for you with cute little emojis c:
Making game is one thing but how many of you dream of having like a big IP with a world, characters, and multiple games
>>541607236>That's any pick-three or similar roguelike though.Not all of them. Plenty of them are balanced such that you don't get fucked by simply getting unlucky. Some of them are even "too easy" because it's consistent to get a good build. In some you need to grind out the meta progression to be able to win.It's been a while that I've seen one where you can get fucked by the RNG to the extent that you can in Megabonk.
Took the entire day to set up the maids skin color and hair design to be like their AI concept art.
>>541629906Don't share with gamedevs.
>>541633117cris WON
someone needs to call the local authorities on cris before he does something criminal
>>541631591Yes, that's me in the picture. Usually I can finish that one extra function and test it fine, to never bother it again, but sometimes I get the idea of "improving" it and then it's like a pandora's box gender reveal.>>541633117very nice cris, but please, implement affinity system and make the maids shy if they're not passionate about your MC enough. No pantyshots in the first 2 hours of gameplay!
>>541632864That hingers on the original game being very good, so direct your creativity on the game part.
>>541632864I've been planning it all out for years now. The whole saga over multiple games, all the characters, most kino moments..I'm just.. still working on the UI and vfx haha
>>541633870dunno really what gameplay to add.I could basically make it something like a game of collecting tokens in a roguelike under a timer, to earn enough coins to gamble for a gift to give each girl to increase her love points, until you fuck her.
I did the pong and added a twist like you said. What next, boss?
>>541634632I have nothing left to teach you. Go forth, my child. The world is your oyster.
>>541634632>What next, boss?MMORPGRTSFPS with sex
>>541631591I don't comment enough and it's the main reason I struggle to return to my old projects. I swear the past me was so much smarter than the current me. There's some stuff from years ago that I coded in some ADHD fueled fever dream and I have no fucking idea what's going on but I can tell it's brilliant.
>>541634632How many attempts did that take? Jesus christ. You sped that up, right?
>>541634632HOLD ONwhat if WHAT IFyou add bricks to the right side that break as the ball hits them
>>541635391Honest to god I copy-pasted the paddle controller script into ChatGPT and told it to add a self-learning bot.
>>541635720Then I asked it for a quick python script to vomit out an image from an input file with syntax highlighting.
Human codesisters... how do we respond to this threat?
>>541634254big brain modeyou're either a peasant boy sneaking up into the castle or a young prince, and you have daily limited activities in which you can interact with maids. Since there's so many of them I imagine you need to have a big mansion and they should have different tasks to do. As such you can help them in various ways to gain their trust. Simple interactions at the beginning like talk, question and watch will lead you to clues what the girl needs (like a better watering can when you see the girl has problems tending flowers or maybe girls are talking angrily so you can talk to them about it and ease the drama). Each correct action gains you points of trust and with those new options for girls are unlocked, like touching, talking dirty, seduction etc. I imagine most of the gameplay would be about talking and picking correct answer to limit asset production and decrease the minigames, but special actions, like giving a rare flower that you managed to cultivate, or baking a cake that you made could add extra layer of gameplay. Now get this - you learn how to bake a cake from one maid and you give that cake to another for a major affinity boost. You could use one maid to seduce another and so on!Cris, this idea is golden, just don't drop it.
>>541635720>almost no comments>comments get colored keywords mixed intsk tsk, are you even trying
>>541634632perfect, drop it on steam for 2 bucks
>>541635872I admit that that's pretty neat.
>>541636018I didn't write it, take it up with Uncle Altman.>>541635491And what, like, there's boobies and stuff hiding behind the bricks?
>>541636006AI makes a programmer like 10% more efficient. Only indians and managers in IT companies think AI is worth anything for programming
>>541636234oh fuck, that's a great idea...! Why haven't I... how...?!
>>541636423It's okay, I'm on it.
>>541636007>>541634254also quick idea, if you're in the correct moment of the day with a correct maid you can do special action, like push maid into the tub full of water to get extra saucy picture. Just a thought.
>>541628501>say hello to> ... jazzbelle!
>>541634632agdg is healinggrex was right
>>541629409Would you rather them be BLACK? Finished my work on replacing the coins throughout the entire game to avoid visual clutter moving on to the next system task where I implement a better 3D audio listener than unity's that rotates the 3D audio when you rotate the camera; because unitys default one isn't doing this for me.
>>541637840>Would you rather them be BLACK?they should not be there. either put just one dot if you're not full yet, or only have it in the pause menu.
>>541637949They have to be there so you know there will be future hearts to GAIN after beating bosses and you feel incomplete
>>541637840>>541637949+1 to this. A small dot is sufficient.
>>541637998Wait, it's not even representing missing health, but uncollected heart containers? That's retarded.
>>541637998>>541637949>only have it in the pause menuHe's right.
>>541631591>ANNOTATE YOUR WORK AND MAKE CONSTANT NOTES AND COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT SOMETHING IS AND HOW IT WORKSAlso do this for your your asset pipelines. Write down your Blender import/export workflow, animation editing, rigging, cloth physics workflow etc.
anyone like my game idea: its a game that looks and plays like Space Station 13 (aka absolute shit) but whats important is what you can do in it and the fact it has 100+ players online. rounds are 1-3 hours long, the beginning of a round is earth in 2030, completely controlled by jews just like irl, but now they have their AI Slave Control Grid fully enacted, social credit score, drone strikes on citizens, etc, all the fucked up shit they already have irl to keep us enslaved and more. the goal is to overthrow them even though they have every advantage. its a covert ops game, kinda like wargames.

There are some seriously bitter cunts in these threads. I don't know how shit like that isn't viewed as off-topic because it's pure negativity deliberately designed to derail and has no meaningful content to derive conversation from. Go create something or make any use of your meaningless existence you cranky peasant mongoloids, I'm sorry you're destined to mop floors at various fast food restaurants and nothing else.
Spent some time messing with feet IK, and ended with messing around trying to rig the robot I made a few weeks back.This guy will be in DD65, and I am going to start rigging him seriously tomorrow (and eventually do animations, programming him, etc.). A bit at a loss right now for how I'm going to rig his weird reverse-jointed legs (the rig generated in ARP automatically makes them bend inwards...). I'll figure that out tomorrow since I'm tired now.
>>541641490Wow anon, you sure sound bitter.
>first day in months I feel comfortable without ACnicecheers to the only good 5 months in the year
>>541641369BASED. Just look at genokids vs magabonk
>>541641087>The most reliable way to ensure your game doesn't flop is to make a good fun game that people want to play.And the most reliable way to do this is through providing playtesting periods and acquiring user feedback. It's very easy to become delusional about your game. It's wise to avoid these delusions by seeking external opinions. Without this, you'll likely release a game that only you enjoy. Not good. Flop.Get feedback.
I'm just gonna make goonslop. Not because it's profitable but because I'm a degen.
>>541640585I can't imagine living like that for more than a week. Get a desk or some legs to put on it and a chair.
>>541641519that horn thing looks dumb and doesn't fit the rest of the design at allthe feet don't look like something it could walk with
>>541642931You don't understand what playtesting and feedback is. Most amateurs don't. You just hear major studios like Valve say to do playtesting and then parrot that idea, without doing anything Valve actually does. Playtesting and feedback does not mean to beg random internet anons, or worse: random internet gamedevs, to play your game and provide written feedback about how they would like your game changed. That is worse than useless. It's actively detrimental to your game.As a game developer, you should have a vision that you want your audience to experience. Your game is a medium through which to trick your audience into having that experience. Playtesting serves to validate that your audience is actually falling for your magic tricks the way you expect them to.
>>541643279>the feet don't look like something it could walk withdoesn't matter, they looked good in signalis, they look good here.style over realism.
>>541643161NTA, but I often sit cross-legged on my computer chair anyways, so it can't be that bad. A backrest would be nice though. However, I just looked it up and a floor chair with a backrest cost almost as much as a real chair.
>>541642635Is that just full on voxels? I knew it was only a matter of time someone would figure out a way to do it.
>>541643420>he just made a written feedback
>>541643693No. All the flicker = just a pixel art shader. The art style was never the hard part. The open world RPG part is.
>>541643420Begging random people for advice is not playtesting. Promoting early builds of your game to build a community of people who are interested in the premise of your game, offering playtesting sessions to them, and acting on their feedback, is the best way to ensure your individual delusions about what makes a game "good" don't ruin the experience for players. Additionally, if you iterate upon community feedback, this will strengthen their support for your game, and significantly improve its reception upon release. There is no debate about this. Pre-release promotion for the sake of community building and player feedback is absolutely beneficial to increasing the performance of your game. Absolutely. It shouldn't even need to be stated that not all feedback is good. If you're making an RPG, and some 12 year old from TikTok tells you to turn it into a fast-paced FPS, you should know that this advice is useless. If you do have a unique personal vision for your game, user feedback from playtesting will help you cover up gaps in the game that you may have never considered. You don't need to do this, you can release your game exactly as you made it, but there are zero downsides to high quality community building and playtesting. Zero. Absolutely zero.
>>541643759What is a pixel art shader? Low res filter? Because that's not it.The stuff in the distance is way too stable. If it were a low res render everything in the distance would flicker like hell. The flicker you see is mostly at the edge of objects.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p0pE9RHFKg 4k video I found on google
But, I mean, if you don't care about making sales or receiving good reviews, then you can stick solely to your vision. Make your passion project, and have fun. 30 reviews in 2 years is great for a passion project.If you want your game to perform well, however, then it's entirely reasonable to ensure the community of people who your game is designed for, can provide feedback for it before release, and support it after launch.People wonder why Megabonk did so well. It's because the developer did *exactly* this. He farmed pre-teens on YouTube Shorts and TikTok, asked them for feedback, and made the most viral goyslop of the year.You can make a game you personally enjoy, but this does not mean others will enjoy it. Brace yourself for a disappointing post-launch performance.
>>541644080The background LODs are probably static hand-drawn or something. They're faked and not created through game world data.
>>541643620>they looked good in signalisnot him but they didnt

>>541644460well done little anime girl
>>541642635looks like utter shit
>>541633117Please add a slider to remove certain skin colors from the finished game
>>541643919>>541644182I don't know who you're trying to convince. I'd say yourself, but you don't even have a game. There's not a single game ever that flopped that otherwise would've succeeded if the dev had only gathered more playtesters. Games fail or succeed on a much more fundamental level. Genres with high replayability and randomness such as roguelikes lend well to community playtesting because you can indeed convince some audience members to replay your game for the twelfth time, but this does not necessarily work for other genres. For every dev that manages to come up with more fun synergies for their roguelike through playtesting, there's another who manages to balance the fun out of their game.Any dev with more than three brain cells already understands pre-production market planning. Before they write a single line of code or make a single asset, they already know if they're going to continuously put out playtester builds throughout alpha the same way that they would if they're going to do a kickstarter or early access.
I hate how long it can take to add a simple sprite sometimes. It's always worth it in the end but man to sit there and render all the images, properly configure the alpha (because blender fails at this for whatever reason), import into godot, create atlas, merge atlas, create scene for every direction, add necessary things to every scene, add scene to collection and everything inbetween can be exhausting just to be like "Oh cool now I can place X on the map yippee"

Hello /agdg/ I'm from the city and I'll be inspecting your game to make sure you've been making progress.
>>541646296Scope's still creeping.
>>541645891You can't automate it because literally every sprite is different between render, tile size, collider, object specifics(like a light), atlas, animations, etc.
>>541646296I'm not making progress (Despite my efforts shit just isn't working)
Is it confirmed if Megabonk was made by Danidev?
>>541646624Some of that data should be possible to extract, other of it should be possible for the developer to easily set in a text file or some other way. Some of it should be possible to calculate, though that can admittedly be more work and effort and for some kinds of things not yield as good results as manual handling.Are there still data that requires manual handling after that?

>>541647602This sounds like such a CS student nodev take.
>>541648286Have you seriously never made tooling for a game or non-game project? Or just made a library, with good, reusable abstractions? Sure, it doesn't always make sense for everything, but it does make a lot of sense in some cases. A developer complaining about spending lots and lots of time on the same manual labour is a red flag for these kinds of things.

>>541648694That XKCD cartoon applies to some cases, but not all, just as I discussed. It can be difficult to predict and ascertain which is which, and the XKCD cartoon makes that clear. But it doesn't change that some tasks do in practical experience benefit a lot from and saves a lot of time from automation or semi-automation. Heuristics and experience can be used to guess and estimate whether automating or semi-automating a task will pay off decently well in practice.

I'm struggling to relate to those who enjoy Megabonk. I won't think too hard about this. It's not my kind of slop. I prefer idle games. This is more of a third person action incremental stimulation game. Different tastes, I guess.
>>54165217890% of gamers don't have good taste and neither does most of agdg

Why is it so hard for some of you to accept the fact that different people enjoy different genres of video games? Imagine if you went to a sports bar as a football fan and started screaming at other patrons who are there to watch golf or basketball. Imagine if you smashed your radio while turning for your favorite rock station because you accidentally landed on a country station. Imagine if you had an autistic meltdown in the middle of the mall food court because there are restaurants other than the one that serves your favorite tendies with honey mussy.

>>541652773I think it's because as developers, some of us want to make games that receive similar success to the "fomo/slop" type games, but struggle to develop them, because we lack the passion, joy for, or understanding of what people enjoy about these games. I think the best way to progress is to revolve your games around your passion, and at most, casualize the more difficult or offputting elements of your game to have larger potential appeal. Blatantly copying successful games is a recipe for failure, if you don't have passion for their design. You won't know what makes them good. Your game won't be unique. You will underperform.>>541652878I didn't say idle games were good, I just said that out of all of the casual "slop" games I've played, they were the ones I enjoyed the most. That does not mean I even genuinely enjoyed them, compared to other games that I did genuinely enjoy, but that I found them more tolerable than the other games of this nature.

Okay so I've managed to maded a new trailer for my game. It's kinda shit but I guess it would be stupid to release my floppa flopper flopsta without any new trailers. I'm gonna take a short break before coming back and makeing the intro okay guys?
>>541654994yes but I still feel like a piece of shit
Is it worth hiring someone to do a trailer for my game? I don't think I'd be able to make a good one. Where could I look to find someone to do it for me?
>>541655585Making a good trailer is a thousand times easier than making a good game. If you can do the later, you can do the former. If you can't do the later, you're fucked either way.
>>541628417whens the nortubel crossover
>more refactoring
>>541655585>I don't think I'd be able to make a good one.You'd be right in thinking that. for some reason indie devs really like to make horrendous trailers without even spending a second researching how to make a good one for an indie. They enjoy AAA trailers from established studios during captive audience events like E3 or equivalents, that ease you in and intrigue you before revealing what the game is about. don't do that. don't ask for trailer editors to do that. finding an editor is tough, as soon as someone makes a hit trailer they will 10x their asking price. I'm gonna make my own but follow the advice of derek lieu https://www.derek-lieu.com/start-here

>>541653130This sounds like an issue with an autistic lack of empathy, or simply a lack of interest in human psychology, which is really the basis for game design. You don't need to personally enjoy something yourself in order to be able to understand why other people enjoy it. Personally, the burger I make for myself is a 93% grass-fed smash with fat-free cheese and 40-cal multigrain bread, but if I'm going to open a burger restaurant, you know damn well I'll be making it with 80% or fattier mix on a buttered brioche bun.

>using AI to create editor toolsnow this really improves my workflowI had no idea it was so easy to make tools with godot
>>541631591Skill issue
it's something
>>541657245>autistic lack of empathy>lack of interest in human psychologyBoth of these could be very true. I only care about my individual passion.What others enjoy, if I do not also enjoy it, then they are wrong, and should stop.What others enjoy, if I also enjoy it, then they are right, and should continue.This mindset makes it easy for me to work on games I am individually passionate about, but I struggle with designing games around how they would make others feel. I only know myself, in this situation. Not good.My best hope is to make a game that I truly enjoy, and simply hope others can be made to enjoy it as well. I can not read minds. I can only assume what others would feel based on categorizations of ideas and emotions. Maybe making the protagonist strong would make players happy? Maybe making the antagonist disgusting would motivate players to defeat them? Maybe using triple-A quality assets will make the game feel worthy of a higher price? Maybe making the assets by hand will make the game feel more charming to others? Maybe making the mechanics simple will make the game accessible to a larger audience? Maybe making the mechanics complex will make the game more hardcore and develop a more passionate fanbase?I don't know. I can't predict any of these things. I don't live in the minds of others. I can assume how they would react, but I can not confirm. This lack of confirmation leads me away from taking the emotions of others into consideration.All I know is what I feel. I will make the game I enjoy. I will hope it is successful. I will hope people enjoy it. I can not confirm anything. I do not rely on the unknown.

>>541660431Prefaced by "It's not my kind of slop.".The implication was that if I were to play slop, I would prefer something along the lines of an idle game. Not a 3D action platformer RNG-based incremental auto battler tower defense type of game. If I was forced to play a slop game, I would choose Cookie Clicker, not Megabonk.
game design mega secretthe gameplay is merely an accessory of the storygameplay exists only to increase immersion within the storythe story is the basis of the appeal for your gamethe gameplay is only there so the player can enjoy the process of progressing through the story in a more immersive mannerfocusing on gameplay and mechanics before a story is developed is like putting the cart before the horseunderstand the story first, alwaysdevelopment will proceed much more smoothly if the context of your game is established before a single asset or line of code has been createddevelopment hell is when you have a hodgepodge of nearly-completed mechanics, but no context for the game, which is derived from the story, to utilize the mechanics withinlet this be fully absorbed in your mind

Vladimir Putin made a series of edicts over the following two years with the aim of revitalising the Russian games industry; these were ridiculed by outside observers as ineffective and impossible to fulfill. Putin effectively legalized piracy,[92] and ordered the creation of a "Russian Electronic Arts" and a game engine to compete with Unreal.[93] In 2023 he also ordered the creation of a game console on par with the Playstation 5 and Xbox in only three months.[94] Kommersant reported that such a project would take a decade, and others have noted that restrictions on importing chips to Russia would make that even more challenging. Techdirt questioned how well Putin understands the game industry given that he was 71 years old at the time of the console order.[95]

How best to handle integer overflow in a number go up game?
Instead of 8 directions player now has 16. I might aim for 32 directions or just free direction although the game becomes less tactical and more of a full blown top down shooter
I just don't get it.The first frame keeps skipping, as evidenced by the print string. Not sure how to fix it:https://files.catbox.moe/brbovw.mp4Chatgpt's response>The issue is that your first frame of rotation uses the difference between the current mouse position and the initial mouse click position, but Initial Mouse Click Position is being updated after you’ve already applied rotation. That means the very first frame has a large offset (because it’s using stale data), so your object “snaps” or “jumps” before settling into smooth rotation.But chatgpt's answer to the problem was nonsense...
>>541662796theres some packages for handling it that get used by the webshit ones, could take a look at those and see what they do
Guys!!!! I finishified my game trailer!!!! And my compocist just gave me a demo of a track new.
>>541663190keep your voice down
>>541663190alright let's see it
>>541662946So the first time you click it's reading a nonsense position but when you click and hold the character properly faces the direction?

Do you guys think making something like one of the old 3d GTA games is possible?
>>541663668it cant be done
>>541663347The first time I click the "nonsense position" is the initial input of the mouse click. It updates and "sets" the initial to the current "after" setting the rotation at the very last node.>Initial mouse position -> Current mouse positionWhich is why the first click "jumps". Dunno how else to describe it, and chatgpt just drew me a 4 year-old crayon drawing.I have no idea what it sketched, but chatgpt detailed the problem well. I think.
>>541663804It can. The visuals of these games were done very sloppily, so they're not hard to ape. As for the coding, it requires a systemic approach to it. It's hard at the start but not so much later.
>>541663668good luck licensing the music for the radio stations.
>>541663668You can make functional game like this with unreal tools but making it as good is overscoped
>>541663978I was thinking of doing a kickstarter for the music once the game got to a decent place
>>541662032You're talking about the player story which is unique to each player for a game. Creating a game that delivers engaging player stories is a road towards success, you're not wrong about that but the way you talk about it makes you seem like you're full of shit.
>>541663978synth voice ai script talk shows would be cool
>>541663347https://files.catbox.moe/i6uqsd.mp4Here's a longer video and closeup of the issue.When I click, it "teleports", and it looks horrid.
>>541663668When you really start to look at VC closely you realize just how half assed everything is. The production value is entirely in the voice acting and music.
>>541640585Good luck.
>>541663668buy synty assetsmake gameplay and story hard but possibleif I had to recommend an easier path I'd recommend you start with a driver-like and once you're done with that you got a lot of code that is applicable with minor modifications for your gta-like
>>541664282How are you actually getting the mouse position?
>>541662796math.min(65535, your_value)
>>541664552Event tick, but I don't see any other way.A very simple Vector 2D, only using the X-axis to "turn", Y is redundant.
>>541664282cute greta, your first click should be a value, and then when you drag the difference between your value and current position should be fed to the rotation
>>541663668possible, yes.pipe dream, also yes.
>>541663668Yes, if you have a team of professionals. otherwise, no, too many systems to make(and finish/polish) on your own.

>>541664858I know, and I don't know how to fix it.It's here, this is the line of code it needs a miracle and I feel I've tried everything. Setting the variable before setting the World Rotation makes sense to me but that breaks it. I just dunno, I've tried. I got the camera and rotation and modeling but this one line of code is taking all my time.

My dumbass had the right hand weapon change function subscribed to the onValueChanged of the left hand weapon. Wrote the code for the left hand first, then copied it to make the right hand version.

>>541666034Thank you, I really appreciate the time and effort but I think you're describing something different.I mean to continuously click (hold down mouse button) and drag like an item viewer (resident evil)Traces seem as if they wouldn't work in this scenario.Either I'm too stupid (likely) or we have different goals (to rotate an object by clicking and holding a mouse button).Clicking and holding the mouse button creates this result. It should be all 0's in the Print String, but the "current" mouse position (-236) shows for the first frame causing the "skip" as shown by the Print String.Thanks either way, I do really appreciate it.
Skill maxing in programming was a mistake. Should I paypig for a good artist or desperately try to find a partner who would accept revshare?

>>541667781do you not have an account for anything anywhere? just use that name
>>541667295Oh in that case I wouldn't use mouse position at all.I would just check if the mouse button is being held down and if it is then I would accumulate rotation based on the MouseXY2DAxis via EnhancedInput.

Game design is the least important skill to develop. People will tolerate mediocre game design as long as your game satisfices their fantasy through art, story, and music.
>>541667781Post your game regularly and the locals will name you
>>541627604>killing all the other piecesisn't that a bit... hypocritical??
>>541668765It's just added value, if two guys make a platformer game and they are both very similar in core mechanics and progression the game that will stand out is the one with a better setting, characters and plot development. Simple as. This also applies for porn and any other media that doesn't have storytelling as its main purpose.
If your game doesn't have a STOWWY, your players will invent their own, and since no one compete with their imagination, it'll be better than the one you would have come up with. Writing a story is a waste of time and psychological makes your "game" (not really a game anymore, is it?) worse.

>>541669761Fortnight and Five Nights at Freddy's will one day be viewed as very high quality compared to the slop to come. I'm not really bothered by slop. It really only affects game devs who need money from investors. And even then, it's not like hollywood where niche artistic movies that don't do well in theatres now don't have renting either, so they don't get made. Niche indie games without mass appeal can still sell well. Let me tell you guys something. 85 IQ was once the level for what was considered retarded. They had to lower this because 85 is the average black IQ for a black in America. It's even lower in Africa. Much of Asia is also essentially mentally retarded. These people ALL have phones and many have internet. They can't play Ocarina of Time, they are retarded. They play literal brain dead slop and fashion games. Slop isn't ending, the market is growing. But that doesn't mean good games won't be made.
>>541669690It doesn't even have co-op from what I've seen? I just don't see how it's better than ROR 2 other than borrowing dopamine hacks from clicker games.

starting to do visuals for the fps mini-section of my game. for now its a quick model I made in blender, trying to go for something inspired by an old radio or guitar ampthe vacuum tubes brightness is tied to how much ammo the player has, so they'll be off when you run out. The little VU meter on the side is gonna animate when firing secondary blasts (still havent decided what that'll be)prob gonna improve the textures and add more knick knacks. also you can see the beginnings of my custom Bloom effect, I'm still working on that so it's not exactly how I'd like it to look (i have custom fog as well and they don't work well together if both are enabled.

encouraging or even being neutral about slopgames makes you an active participant in the degradation of video games as a medium. we should call out slopenjoyers and slopdevs as the retards as they are and keep it out of actual gamedev.>b-but it's what the players wantshut the fuck up. we're supposed to be indie devs not cooperate AAA trying to maximize the profit for stakeholders. If indie devs aren't passionate and taking creative risks, then what's the fucking point?

five years ago I was so hopeful.my game was doing great and I thought I finally made it. I moved out of my parents' house (at 27) and thought my life was just getting started. I had plans and stuff.but my game earned me enough to live on for 5-6 years and my next game flopped and the one after that did even worse.it's as if my games did worse the more skilled I got at gamedev. maybe it was just luck?now I can only find menial warehouse jobs that pay minimum wage. I'm already back living with my parents.fuck this jobby. but maybe my next game will really make it!

>>541676519Isn't carmack a programmer not a writer?It's not justifiable to expect him to give good advice on the writing side of gamedev, just like it wouldn't be justifiable to expect a writer to give good programming advice. Giving particular relevance to that statement is the actual issue. People are disregarding his field of expertise and devolving it into a matter of personality, that whatever he says is relevant automatically because it was the successful guy that said it not because he is a person that is particularly insightful about the subject.
I've made an awesome feature but I'm not going to use it anymore because it gives too much overhead when actually making the game. I'm considering making it an unlockable or something. How depressing.

>>541681279except jack of all trades isn't 10% artist or 20% programmer but 60% artist and 70% programmer. there's diminishing returns in skill the more specialized you get, but it's usually worth it for employer to pay double for a little extra quality.

serious question, what happened to all the good devs? everything here for the last many threads looks beginner tier or cris tier
>>541683289it was from an era when roguelite replayability meta hadn't really taken off yet and steam got only a couple thousand new games per year
>>541647602I went to sleep and didn't reply to this. But no, there's no data to extract, what the fuck are you even on about it. We're talking about sprites here of varying degrees. For example, let's use the one I just finished. I have to first render the object with a transparent background for all 15 frames, then I have to render it black for all 15 frames. I then have to go into gimp and color to transparency the black layer for the proper alpha result (this is the only thing I could see writing an add-on to gimp would be fantastic) NOW I have to do this for every direction I plan to have the sprite use. Now, once I have all of these frames generated I have to go into godot and make an atlas which you make based on 1. sprite count, 2. canvas size so it's always different. Then you have to make a new scene for the object and begin to add the specialty things it may have (like collisionpolygon2d, lights, animation) The animation could have multiple modes or an on/off running version. So you'll have to add the animatedsprite2d then create the animation from the atlas and adjust all the animation settings. For lights you'd need to manually add them to the sprite in the location you plan on them existing including their shadow and depending on what the light is/and or doing the script for the light as well which has to be unique to that object because it's going to have a different @onready var per scene. Now for the part for the scene onwards you'd need to duplicate and adjust the scene for every direction of the sprite. I'm not sure exactly what data you're expecting to extract and calculate to automate nor why you're talking about sprites this way, you do sort of sound like what >>541648286 said.

Yeah bro a game can just be an exploration of novel mechanics with no story and still be successful But they have to be an exploration of NOVEL mechanics. Not vampire survivors #126A game can also be a clone with no new mechanics, but it has to not only blow previous games out of the water, it also has to look like it does from the capsule and trailer. This is a higher barrier and not one that i would willingly aim for when trying to make a successful indie game

>>541677920>>541678156like that anon said, you're artistically braindead.left or right perspective, pick one.but for the style choice, it kind of depends on how the book appears in the game.

What is the benefit of packaging game assets in a single file? Like DOOM WADS or Quake PAK files. Compression? What else? I'm thinking of doing something like that but it would mean I can't release updates to individual files, right? So updates would be large even for small asset changes?
>>541678156>>541677920ignore the euclidean fags, the cover is very pretty
>>541687981And to add to this: Yeah I get it these files are great for modders for distributing their mods. But I don't really know why I would package my game's main assets like that. Maybe I should offer package file support for just modders?
I am primary learning 3D, but I made some 2D sprite as placeholder for enemy. Did not think about colors at all and I think attack probably should be different, but still... I find it charming in the retarded kind of way. Also first time looking at four legged creature walk cycle, so I ended making it stretchy hot dog.
>>541688443>I ended making it stretchy hot dog
>>541688552I mean if you take a wiener from hotdog and stretch it and let go, it bounces back. If you look at it's body during walk cycle it is the same. That's all I see when I see the gif looping. Like a wiener dog
>>541683691Whenever I post my game I get no replies or mean replies
family needs some help so no more progress today, the loop is secured, but it needs something more in the early aspects of it with music/sound effects before the great wait of waiting for art to be finished to begin
what's a good way to do turn order in an rpg?
>>541689537I'd say SMT's press turn but they probably patented it
>>541689537What kind of RPG? How deep you going? Babby's first JRPG just do it by party order, player first always, like a Pokemon battle. Fancy shit, you should be incorporating character weights and speeds and sprinkling in some rng, which won't make the game any better but that slide in the PowerPoint presentation will really impress the investors.

>>541687013But look how cool it is...
>>541690132Party based? Speed of 1st character in party compared to speed of 1st character in enemy party decides who goes first. Easy to implement, easy to grasp, still "useful" to the player.

Game development legitimately has nothing to do with programming. It’s 100% about assets and features.You can learn the basic principles of programming in one fucking day, and learn more advanced topics ad hoc. Furthermore almost ALL programming problems in game dev have been solved. With the advent of online resources and AI if you can’t code you might be brain dead.Yeah you’ll bang your skull into your screen for a few days, but building fundamental systems only takes a few months, sooner if you’re not such a lazy bastard like me. And the head banging get easier over time because ultimately programming is an analytical skill. Features take more time but that’s cause after the skeleton a game is literally just features aka fun.BUT THEN THERE ARE ASSETSFUUUUUUUUUUUCK AHHHHHHHHHHHH literally event horizon tier levels of psychological torture. Or hell raiser.And no you, an indie faggot cannot afford to have private artists making all your assets. Cause after fun style is everything. And asset creation is not analytic there is no speed ups, there is just brutal grinding.If you weren’t grinding 10 years ago, either start now or give up. No bullshit, you can’t avoid the time investment if you’re an indie solo dev. So either genuinely give up, become a pathetic soulless YouTube dev (never gmi), or shut the fuck up and start grinding
>>541691802>If you weren’t grinding 10 years agoI was.
>>541681279It should bother you because you'll never attain mastery in any of those skill sets and realizing your full potential as a human. I hate being so low IQ aaaaahh.

>>541681760I try to work through it but it's hard because working within that "push through it" state of mind skews my perception 180 degrees. On one day I find myself being able to work on my stuff effortlessly and making good progress while remaining reasonable in my judgement towards the results. A single day later I can barely bring myself to fix a few lines of code because I can't gather any clear thought all the while I'm cursing my game and think it's garbage all of a sudden. Usually that happens within same day even. Knowing that I'll not only waste my time but also endanger future progress makes me hesitant to work by schedule without taking these mood swing into account.
>>541691802I actually agree with most of this entire post. I've been grinding assets for months, and will for a many more months. After that is all done, then I can return to the fun part of game development. (and marketing)

>>541681279If you want to be an indie gamedev you have to get passable skills in at least two of the following: coding, art, music, marketing. You should triage early which of those you're good at and which you'll need to outsource.

>>541692467>know nothing about dota never played>conclude it would be better simplifiedThis fucking faggot has never played a moba or any competitive game for that matter and yet he thinks those games would be better if you cut the complexity in half because then your development focus could be emphasized in other dimensions so the game would become magically better in those other dimensions. Whatever those fucking dimensions are, I don't know, but that's what Jon said.

>>541693646The only time I think "Idk how I'd program that" is for online multiplayer or games with 10,000+ units on the screen at once. And I have an idea about the 10k. Everything else is fairly easy. I can't think of any mechanic I couldn't add in a 40 hour work week. Most features I can finish in under 8.

>>541693705Fuck you tranno>>541693646Read my post dumbassFun = features, but by the time you did the basic shit it’s just feature creep.Also you might be retarded.>>541693164Programming only looks scary and impossible when you’re a retarded person like I used to be (I still am). But making features is genuinely fucking fun.>>541693528Like what?Most phds are like “why racism is bad” or “I applied this 200 year old algorithm to this obscure data set here’s what happened”
>>541693843They're saying that the perspective on the books with pages is off, which I kinda get, but I don't think it looks bad. I'll have to see what it looks like in game though
>>541694090ngl I do think league and dota would be better if they removed heroes or at the very least rotated them per season. overwatch only has like 44 characters and that's already quite a lot. if they doubled that it would be even more of a nightmare to play with all what's already happening on screen. a game like league having nearly 200 heroes to learn and master doesn't really feel overly complex it just feels tedious and overwhelming.
>>541691802I want to be an artist because of this, I want to be the genuinely helpful person who literally brings the vision to fruitionI'd do it for minimum wage if someone gave me the chance (but no I don't have any finished work to show yet)

>>541694570Amazing that you find time to post during your shift at McDonalds. Hurry up poorfag, there are customers waiting
Why does no one use Haxe?I mean if you’re being an engine dev autist why not use the most agnostic language with market tested frameworks?
>>541692467what I get out of this is focus on doing one or max two things really well, instead of being shallow like most games adding crafting and ng+ and whatever else just as a checkbox exercise
>>541694886People at McDonalds get paid more than me, I’m a day trader.I make 100k but I also lose 80k, and those are basically god tier returns btw.

>>541694917>Why does no one use Haxe?>I mean if you’re being an engine devi'm not an engine dev. if godot switched to haxe I wouldn't complain, though
>>541694685same. if someone wanted to pay me to draw for their game i'd do it, but you can't expect indie devs to hire a full-time artist.
>>541695048why don't you make 1 million and lose 800 thousand instead? you would have more money
>>541695048Day trading is the closest real life gets to a roguelike, if you think about it. You buy/sell options and stocks to gain money but one stroke of bad RNG makes you lose it all.
>>541693661Probably don't have lossless selected on the import tab? Idk
>>541695169Depends how much you charge. I hired an artist for my game for about $2k to do the assets for the game and the capsule images. I thought that was pretty reasonable seeing as the budget for my game is $5k
>>5416955032k for everything? Is the style 2d/simple 3d? I think I could do that... ten times a year... maybe
>>541695048>Indie dev>day trader as a backup planYou might as well just buy lottery tickets at this point
>>541695627I'm this guy >>541693501My artist did art for all the books and a bunch of other icons for the game assets. My game is a 2D game with pretty simple graphics. He also made me capsule images (pic related) like I mentioned

>>541696015I know him personally actually, his wife is friends with a girl I used to date. He told me he'd always wanted to do art for games, I started working on a game so I reached out to him.

>>541695069Do you even know what a framework is you fucking retard?
>>541696015hi :D
>>541692467This is what happens when you're a "software engineer" instead of an artist.You think you can game the system, you think there's an algorithm for the perfect videogame, you think you have the solution to fun.It's pure madness and the furthest away from the human experience you can possibly get.

>>541696617How the fuck are you even a real person
anyone know how to do the motion blur that shows up in PS2 games, mostly in MGS2 and MGS3?like, the one that's slow and cinematic
>>541641519Kewl robot, don't listen to that fag the horn is cute and makes your design that bit more recognizable, without it it would feel more generic. It could be justified as being some plasma energy horn or some shit
>>541695279I don’t have that much to gamble
>>541694917Because it's simply used less. There's a reason C and C++ are and always will be the go to langs for enginedevs.
>>541696802Average the pixels between each frame on a gradient
>>541696904You can do that in haxe though
>>541696678you are laughingcris made kino and you are laughing
>>541697153Counterpoint: What if a platform you're building for doesn't support a haxe toolchain?
>>541696519Yes I used monogame and it was like "Ok well now it's time to write your own camera and literally everything else you need for a game" and I said "that's enginedev" and it said "nuh I'm a framework" and then I left

>>541696802you mean like this?https://github.com/adc-ax/URPFrameAccumulationRendererFeature
>>541686427It's not terribly hard you just need to know how to use a bit of Photoshop to blend a front image of a person and a side image. Try it out: take a picture of yourself as you face the camera frontally, and take another picture of the side of your head, then put the photos in PS and blend them together

>>541697219Which platform can’t run c++?>>541697503Dude just prooompt it
>>541690558Okay, I made a change to gave some space between the eye and the horn. I think this looks a lot better.>>541696807Thank you, but the horn has felt off to me for a while so I don't completely disagree with them. I've made a change (see attached) that I think makes it look better.
i made progress today. lots of good progress.
>>541691802Anon kun as an artist know I feel the same way about you coder dudes, you need us and we need you, I'm too much of a retarded brainlet to ever code stuff myself. Genuinely why don't you team up with an art nigga, it might be worth it, I teamed up with a coder man I met here myself, we get along pretty well, have been for more than a year now
>>541698445good on you son. share some of that momentum with me I can't seem to want to move a finger today. just been looking at the code, unsure where in this fucking hell I want to start fixing and adding stuffthis part is a drag
>>541698163what game is this for?
>>541690558>>541698163Your mecha design is a practical one but the horn is straight up from Code Geass or some other fantasy mecha type stuff.

>>541674249You dream of Jew-offs?
>>541698163>I've made a change (see attached) that I think makes it look better.I think it looks worse, because now the tip of the horn feels disjointed, whereas before there was this continuity between the eyes and the horn, that was cool, I think it looks better for the exact opposite reason you explained to that other anon in your post. If you ask me, the first time is the best, you had it nailed down, any reiterations after that first original concept are just a bastardization of it, that's just my philosophy anyway
>>541641519>>541698163Have you watched broken blade?
i like boobs. which engine will help me achieve jiggle physics for my game
>>541698607Tamabuki>>541698732Well it's inspired (mainly) by Gundam which is somewhere between real robot and super robot typically (at least in design).>>541699117Hmm. I think it looks more cohesive the way it is now, but I think this is one of those things I'll just have to end up deciding on my own for what looks best.It's just a quick change to the texture so I can always come back and change it back to the way it used to look if I feel like it later.
>>541700497I have. I should read the manga to at some point.Anime was a lot of fun and the designs are great. I've got the Sentinel Delphine action figure and want to pick up some of the Koto and new Goodsmile kits in the future.
>>541698526Let me guess, you learned to draw as a child? You can probably learn to program 5 times in the time it takes for an adult to reach some level of skill as a draftsman.
Well? What's the answer?
>>541676880Ultima demake lookin hot
>>541701281depends on how much progress was done and how close to final it is. if after 4 years it's only 20% done then honestly it should have been dropped a long time ago due to failure to scope properly.

>developer AI gens anything, even just a thumbnailThis is a clear signal that they are degenerate and actually genning a lot of stuff "behind the scenes".
>>541702628it makes even less sense because it wasn't out of laziness here, so there has to be a malicious reason he made his thumbnail looks worse

What's everyone doing for their cloth maps and printed manuals? Including any other trinkets or doodads?How's your box art coming along?
scope be creepin again
>>541694578you ever owned a book nigga??? try holding one in front of you
>>541703223That's not a bad idea, however this is how they look in-game with the pages and I don't think it looks bad. The area on the left could be interpreted as the spines, but I was looking at it as the mark where the cover opens
>>541703406>most experienced godaughterLook at the bottom right of the page
>>541693501yea it's better without the right "pages"might be best with the left shading though.Also holy shit your artist is kino, taking this game from like a 4 all the way to an 8
>>541702305Cris is winning… what the fuckNodev bros… our response?
>>541704109Yeah he's done a great job considering this is what the game used to look like
how come agdg hates me ive been nothing but nice to you guys
>>541694578Showing the spine and the fore edge is fucking retarded to be fair. Do this >>541703223
>>541704109But are you seriously gonna tell me my programmer art isn't kino?
As suggested I moved the hearts to the top of the UI/screen.
>>541703223>>541703748>>541704786Alright that settles it, I'm asking my artist to do this then >>541703223
>>541704914....................
>>541704914whoa haha holy shit I remember youAncient /agdg/, must be like 10 years nowHow did your release go dude? Working on some DLC or something?
>>541704914
my levels suck...
>>541704669>waaah why do hate me??>waaaahhhcry more bitch
>>541704914There's something really unpleasant about the way your game looks, I can't pinpoint it though. Like it just permeates every decision you seem to make, giving me a vague feeling of revulsion and discomfort.
>>541704914Has no one ever told you to add some padding to your UI elements on the top left? They're all glued together
>>541705496What does padding mean? What did you mean by dis?
>>541705557It's never been more bokuover...
>>541705557It means spacing
>>541705002all the artist needs to do is shade the left side, it's basic shading. it's facing the perpendicular direction to the cover, it should have at least some shading, maybe a slight hue change
>>541705210bad/no value groupingsame for saturation, everything is as colourful as possiblebad quality textures with visible artifactsgod awful background (too much contrast for a background element, no distance fog")
>>541704914Thats some good UI now boku
>>541704914Bokube looks beautiful imo ignore the nodevs
>>541706484you rike?
>>541704860desu your programmer art isn't that much worse than your artist, looking at the covers in the game I couldn't shake the feeling it was done very cheaply and in ms paint, but when you showed the default size >>541694578 and I saw that cheap photoshop brushwork at the egdes now I can't believe he's a real artist at all. Show me that frankenstein from your artist in full size.Other than that >>541704042 Book Shop lettering and texture look awesome.
>>541704914Looks good. But if the detail about the unfilled hearts being for unlockable hearts (as in, you get those from bosses) instead of lost hearts is true, then I think you should change it up so it's for the latter.
>>541704042>books are 3 tone pixel art>book shop sign is semi realistic, photobashed>ui is adobe illustrator-corecmon man

https://x.com/BokuDev/status/1975325805220880861Fixed the level select so that even if the program restarts or level changes happens the camera gets a new starting position with the player so the player can pickup where they left off on the level select.
>>541705557its so fuggin over

>>541708271you may not know or have noticed but i followed the agdg devs and did not follow you
>>541708689cris-tier soul
>>541708689prompt?
>>541708271Are we good with boss levels just throwing the boss at you and not taking control of the camera to introduce them or do you all want the camera to focus on the boss and its intro animation as the fight starts? What is better? Keep in mind if you want the camera to look at the boss on boss fight start I will need to program that right now and that is difficult.
>>541709281
>>541705067If you're this consistently unable to make good levels, maybe the base gameplay itself sucks so much that it's impossible to make good levels, and it's time to do something else?
>>541709281>its so difficult. oh yeah this is what I miss from old agdg bokuretard posts we are so back
>>541708271>>541709281why does everything look so ... bad? Like as soon as I enlarge a thumbnail of your game, I feel immediate aversion
>>541707123The UI is what I'm going to work on next. I'm probably gonna put a papery texture on all of it if that doesn't look too ugly
>>541705039Anon he never released. No I'm not kidding, he's still working on the Mojito-clone Toad-like after literally 10 years.And it still looks like this
>>541709773On the one hand, I admire the tenacity, because I'm the opposite where if I can't ship it within a year I give up and move on to the next game on the bucket list. On the other hand, I don't understand what makes Bokube so special that the dev would want to spend 10 years without shipping. Aren't there other games on the bucket list you want to get to someday?
>>541709281how do you feel that the rolling cube game is your life's work?how do you think release will go for you?
>>541709281lmao this still won't release in three years and you'll be saying "but you guys said you wanted this feature!" brother take ownership of your game this is one of those taste things, choose according to what you like
>>541709281Bosses should always be introduced properly and ALWAYS have a checkpoint right behind their entrance. Don't make the introduction take too long though. That saves up a LOT of frustration, I think it's worth it even if it's not very polished.
>>541710402>this is one of those taste things, choose according to what you likeHow can you guys be so useless... It's almost impressive. This is the one thing that is not a matter of taste. If you just throw the boss at the player like you would in a NES game, you'll just sour the fight and make the player mad.
>>541710506>>541710402Here you go boss. Do you rike it?
>>541711470Better. You should also add a health bar for him, that's the one essential thing missing right now.
Just launched my steam page and already got 1 wishlist within the first hour! WAGMI
>>541635491>>541636423The was some scope creep. What next, boss?
Which /agdg/ games have a futa protagonist?
>>541711731Do you post this game here often? Congrats.
>>541711470Normally I'd assume some sort of boss intro text thing is planned and just not yet implemented, but with you it'd probably be best to confirm: you are planning an intro text overlay for the boss, right?
>>541711859Every 2-3 days or so. The wishlist I got is probably a fluke but it still brightened my day :-)
>>541711828nortubel
>>541711470the point is do you rike it, stupid sexy happa
>>541711939I just have the level title at the start of the level in the safe area have the name of the boss is that acceptable? Does it have to be during the boss camera intro?
>>541711470>camera disappears into narnia >focus on the boss>neglect to inform the player that they've teleported somewhere new>fail to establish the scene>begin fight immediatelyHow are you so bad at gamedev after all this time?
>>541711859Thanks btw
>>541712017
>>541712041Yes it has to have a freeze frame moment with the skewed top and bottom bars and a close up of his angry face and the title and the text better have a visual gag like a beak coming off one of the letters and then the fight starts
>>541712041It's your game. You don't "have" to do anything. But surely from your experience playing other games, doesn't it feel like something's missing from the camera intro?
>>541712209you use the ugliest stupidest most useless reaction images, and it's your entire post. fucking kill yourself.
Is my level select UI good enough? Should I add text that says "PRESS A TO ENTER LEVEL" or something and not just the "!" mark?
>>541712631is this bait?
>>541712631That's a cute hub world. Just replace the '!' with a "Press A" balloon or something.
>>541712631How do you not know this already?Years into developing the game you should already have this intuition. Obviously, the ! is enough. The players are going to press various buttons when they hover over the level and when one of them works, they'll know it's that one. You can also do the other one, but depends on what you're going for. Will the text take up too much space on screen? Doesn't really matter that much but you having to ask this question tells me that you're simply grinding out the game instead of building,testing and learning from it and then developing intuitions.
>>541713107xe got groomed by the inner circle, just like that anon with the rolling ball game
>>541712631That cloud trail is way too visually noisy. But that's a minor nitpick compared to a potentially big concern: please tell me that isn't free movement you're doing between the level hub choices.
>>541713107>The players are going to press various buttons when they hover over the level and when one of them works, they'll know it's that one.That always sucks. Don't let players rawdog your shitty ui just because you couldn't be bothered to put some clear instructions on the screen.
>>541711828Marmoreal
>>541713380Whats wrong with a completely different full movement for the level select? Kirby and mario do this all the time.

how does one go about pirating rpg maker mz's dlc
Something I still don't get is why games are better when their resources are scarce, or at least not 100% free.is stuff I learned from actually making a lot of games.It's just things I know I need to add, but, at the same time.It's like why?My point is that it's psychology.But at the same time, sometimes you stumble upon things you know work, but damn, sometimes you wonder why, like, is fun nothing more than adding the proper ingredients?It's fun nothing more than saying than a dish is tasty?But sometimes you wonder, why, why does sugar makes coffee better, I think.

your rebuttal ideasguy kun?
>>541715879I mean, imagine if you've composing for years and years, and everyone thinks that massive symphonic works of 5 hours with 500 musicians is the way to go, so everyone just try to compete with the most expensive symphonic work. But you've discovered in your room that the secret of music is not 500 musicians, and that people want is an emotional journey, no quantity.It's a lot like how small childrens want isn't a movie about regret and production, what deep down kids want is some toys with soldiers they put to fight, or to roleplay as mom and dad and kids and a little marble to enter the hole
