>>541937435Your bocchi pic?
>>541932759Nevermind this person. They're just trolling. I've been posting my progress on this model and was asked what I thought a similar caliber of model would cost if they were to commission something.I don't personally do many commissions myself so I gave a ballpark of $500-$1000. It also depends on if the person is doing the design work in addition to the rigging (their initial question just seemed to be about the model, but I'd think most non-artists would want the design and rigging done as well... as for animations they can just retarget animations they've bought or gotten for free as long as both rigs are humanoid).

>>541937435
>>541936967Pong>>541937435Actually no, get a job. Gamedev is not a pathway to a better life, it is a HOBBY for well-to-do middle-class people.

>>541939306And so will (You)r game, judging by recent agdg sales.
>>541932285hey sorry to be a newfag but I'm also making a game with mechs and I want to know if you have some good resources on modelling, UVmapping, texturing and rigging on blender? I know 3D modelling a bit and I have an artist with me but I sometimes struggle with understanding how to make UVmaps and I have no idea how to rig shit to animate.

>>541944141what about us?
I know why I’m an adult man with no friendsIt’s because I have no girlfriendLiterally the only way men are supposed to meet is because their girlfriends are friends.Like I talk with my colleagues and know about them kind of, and support them as colleagues but they are not my friends. Why? Cause I genuinely don’t fucking give a shit about wasting my time with their inane nonsense… UNLESS I was sleeping with them, which made it mandatory to give a shit about their inane nonsense. Except most of them are older balding men most with families already. Not cute hotties.And the same theory applies with game dev.I’m noting going to waste time with zero talent no devs unless their sucking my cock.I mean I am the 1ma so I don’t need anyone anyways. But I’m sick of this bullshit like “uhhh why don’t men men have fiends?”Cause I’m not 12 you fucking imbecile.also 4chan is inherently an anti-social network, so breaking anonymity just doesn’t work you can’t be yourself anymore.>>541943691I wish I had a GMI dev Japanese wife.Fuck I want a Japanese passport. I want my kids to have Japanese passports.
>>541944435i think you have no friends because you are a piece of shit
>>541944680daamn nigga u read that shiit??
>>541943691It's not fucking fair that just by being Japanese your game is allowed to look like it's an asset flip. It's not unique to this game, even professional Japanese games have always looked cheap. They have UI that looks like it was pulled from a totally different game and models/textures that look out of place next to cartoony anime girl characters. I guess it's been part of Japanese games for so long that nobody really cares anymore, but it's always bothered me.
>>541940570haha wtf I made this, glad someone has it saved still :D
>>541939478No need to apologize, friend.The only thing I can see for learning what you mentioned is look up some YouTube videos. That's how I learned (primarily looking at low poly tutorials).UV mapping is tricky, but if you try to think of it like the opposite of wrapping a present that's what made things click for me.Also, I'm not great at rigging myself and rely on Autorig Pro for now. It makes rigging super simple and easy, but I also do plan on learning how to rig from scratch in the future.If you have specific questions you can reach out to me on discord ( 'nylad' is my username).
>>541932285Modeled, textured, skinned and rigged?My rate is around $40/hour$1000/$40 = 25 hours of workSounds about right especially given the exclusivityThis is assuming you have a perfect concept to work off of too. If I have to concept and make a bunch of changes the price is probably going to double.And even more if I have to animate it.
>>541932285it doesn't actually sound that crazy. If you're short on money, i'd advise that you learn the artstyle, make 90% of the art yourself and then hire an artist to match the style for the things you struggle with. This shit takes time, even with years of experience and expertise.
>>541932285Stop being a poor turdie NEET.
im too depressed to make a game
>>541928601>>541929305>But could it sell?Yes. The big issue with Erenshor is that it looks like shit. In terms of visuals The Legends of Old was a lot closer though it could be done even better. EQ and early MMORPG nostalgia is strong in the crowd that played them but they're also mostly people who don't have the time to commit to an MMORPG anymore.Aside from the graphics the big issue is the amount of content you need to create. Going for a low-fi style will help somewhat. The world can be simple and blocky. Fast to build with tools like Probuilder. It would still take time to make a large world and fill it with stuff. By no means would it be a small project.
>>541946996probuilder is a complete noob trap. bespoke geometry is extremely expensiveif you want to fill a giant world you need to make a few very useful assets and copy paste as much as possible, like you see them doing in that image

thinking I could probably make a BABBDI-like / STRAFTAT-like, at least aestheticallysomewhat basic modeling, cube projection for textures, the One Click Damage add-on, Zen UV maybe down the line @brittlehoellow and @GlvGalv on twitter both serve as good reference for this stuffthis is just a quick and dirty test of the workflow using random parts. I imagine the OCD add-on would go a long way to adding intrigue. likely best to use real-world reference and have good lighting and all that too
>>541947410we need fygoon back, its the only thing that triggers the troonseven if you tell them to kys they dont care cause they used to it, but when CHADgoon is posting? thats when they have a nervous breakdown
>>541937435I'm with >>541938882Gamedev ain't gonna save you. It is one of the hardest things to do and even more so when you try to do it solo. The act of finishing a commercially viable game is harder than you going out repeatedly until you stop spilling spaghetti all over the flood when you do so and manage to find a job. The most likely outcome of you trying to make it in gamedev is you spending next 5-10 years failing, MAYBE finishing one game and if you're extremely lucky it making more than 10k. In other words just get a job or find some other way to make money from home.
>>541944435Women find men who don't have friends creepy. If you don't have friends they think there's something wrong with you.

>>541948106i already released a game and i dont need to make games to live, im on autism bux
>>541944945There's some Japanese games that have great style but yeah a lot of them do be looking like that.
CHADgoon, incinerate this entire thread
reminder
uh oh the pedophile is melting because fygoon is mentioned have you tried to make a game better than the frydarian's tale instead of a pedo walking simulator with no gameplay? TPD
>>541947328Have you ever played EQ? A lot in it is custom made for the location and the complexity is low enough that you could make a lot of it directly with Probuilder without having to hop over to a modeling program. Yes of course you would want to reuse models where it makes sense but you can make reusable models with Probuilder. It allows you to easily map repeating textures to simple models which make up most of the world for a game like EQ.
I've managed to find a dinner that only costs around $1 for 830 calories and 36 grams of protein. It's literally just 2 grilled cheese with a glass of milk. It's not the most nutritious meal, but it's filling. I can also swap it out for 2 peanut butter sandwiches if I get sick of grilled cheese for about the same price.Why am I posting this? Well, in a few months I plan on trying the "quit your job to finish your game" meme for myself. I'll need to save as much money as possible to ensure I can stay unemployed for at least a year as I work on my game. That includes spending as little as possible on food, even if it means eating the same thing every day.

>>541949741>comments are full of people asking OP to explain how to generate art, how to make a game, etc.How the fuck do people this hopeless even get through their basic daily tasks?
>>541949140You should do some research, no reason to eat the same trash every day. Your suggestion isn't even cheap, it's a terrible value and if you eat it several times a week you're literally trading lifespan for neetbucks. If you want to sustain yourself as cheaply as possible, an adult American with a kitchen can keep themselves fed well, with good nutrition, great variety, and genuinely good food for less than $100/mo. The only trade-off being the amount of time you'll have to spend cooking. Even a bowl of cereal is only 30-60 cents, anon, you don't have to do anything crazy to get your food budget down.

>>541951156looks decent. What's the gameplay? Delivery?
>>541950073lmaogood luck
>>541951156The physics look fun, watching this makes me want to play it just to toss that little hatch around.
>>541934353this may look exactly the same as it did last week but its coded different nowi killed "held items" as separate networked entities that players hold. now the effects of holding an item are applied directly to the player, same as with monsters. now i don't have to write the same code twice to keep 2 different systems working the samei did this because I'm about to add a lot of complexity to item actions (eg swinging a sword) and i don't want to write it all twice
>>541951824life simulator with apartments, businesses, growing weed, crafting things, gathering resources, cooking, socializing, multiplayer>>541952068the physics are really simple, i wasn't able to even make it drift, so it feels quite stiff
>>541952845holy scope. Good luck realizing all that and making it fun.
>>541952845Well it certainly looks much more dynamic than that in the clip, hopefully it's no headache to make it act and feel the way you want. Quite a scope you've got, good luck with it!
>>541953023i've spent almost a year on it with 6000+ hours clocked, almost 100k lines of code. it really is a scope creep game but i'm enjoying it. very few people are playing it, most leave within ten minutes probably because they have no idea what to do - very hard to design for.>>541953310yeah i purposefully didn't make any tight turns, you can basically turn on a dime since there's no friction, extremely arcadey feel
>>541947838quick and dirty, but I'd buy that. looking forward to slow and dirty.
How do short narrative games survive in the age of streamers? How do games like Mouthwashing or A Short Hike or Iron Lung gets sales when someone can just watch Markiplier play the whole thing in one sitting?
>>541954306word of mouthwashing>bro you gotta play this blind
>Commissioning artists>Have to turn one of them down>They already did a sample sketch for me
>>541954568So you need a twist in your game that isn't advertised in the game's promotional materials that someone will see during a twitch viewing and tell their friend to try the game blind? That seems a bit much.
>>541954306twitch viewers are already used to freely giving money to someone they are parasocial with. why not buy a game they like to never play ita game that is long enough to last multiple streams is likely to hook people into paying to play it themselves instead of waiting for their favorite streamer to finish it, or watching vods to fill in the gaps they didn't get to see, or to share it with their friend or whatever
>>541952818Nice.
>>541954723yes, but you also need a huge fanbase from your prior work.
>>541954306I'm one of those consumers of horror slop. Namely John Wolfe and Manlybadasshero.I'll watch John play the first 20 minutes and if it looks like something I'd enjoy I'll stop watching and play it myself.If it looks kind of ass I'll watch him play it instead.So my recommendation is to make the first half hour or so really cool so that people want to play it themselves.
>>541954769>Multiple streamsThe games I mentioned are like 2 hours long and got bigly sales mostly due to streamers. That's the bit I don't understand.
>>541954306just make it have a good aesthetic/vibe, safe shocking themes like (modern definition of) rape (like in mouthwashing) and story that shows instead of tells and can be endlessly debated cause of vagueness in presentation. You also have to nail the level design and never let the player feel too confused or lost for too long (maybe 3-6 mins max), even in a puzzle or maze section.
>>541955048>That recommendation Shit. My plan was unironically to make the first half hour very mundane just to lay the groundwork for the horror kek

>>541955194>demo before productionwhat does he mean by this?Surely a demo would be in the middle of development? Or do you make a game jam-level prototype of your game? That's not a demo and not indicative of the final product. I'm not making a steam page til I have an alpha-level of development that's already been tested by friends and on itch. Don't want to waste my initial exposure on something that's shit.
Reminder if your game is one or more of these things you have a chance to MI! If your game is none of these things are you are NGMI! ZERO chance! The choice is yours!
>>541955645>my game has all 6well shit...
>>541955645Where's 'low budget grimy horror'?
>>541955645All me.
>>541955556I think the implication is that the first thing you should be doing in production anyway is making a vertical slice, which you should them use as a demo while you make the rest of the game.
>>541955470Seething about free information? Not Gonna Make It!
Grex won
>be retail wageslave>spend all shift thinking about working on my game>get home and do nothing but jerk off and scroll through 4chan for hoursany other ngmi losers ITT?
>>541955556He's saying to make a really polished vertical slice that you can release as a demo before starting on full production.Kind of like what AAA devs do with e3 demos.
>>541955048What even is the gameplay of Mouthwashing? Is it just like a horror walking sim where you just live out a dialogue tree or is there puzzles and shit?
>>541956127It's a glorified visual novel with minor puzzle elements.But what it lacks in gameplay it makes up for in production value.It's probably one of the best produced indie games that isn't using a bunch of assets.
If you are making just another ____ But you think it's going to sell because it's indie and everyone will be impressed that you made just another ______ You are Not Gonna Make It! No matter how polished it is or even if it is genuinely impressive that you made it by yourself or with a few other people, it's JUST ANOTHER ____ NGMI!

>>541956127nigga have you never played a non-action video game before? There are hundreds of games like that.
>>541956363I'm was making vampire survivors, but 3d, but you guys convinced me to drop it. thanks.
>>541955976I agree with that. But I'd say put that initial vertical slice on itch. Hell, put your rough dirty prototypes up on there to gauge interest before even investing fully in a vertical slice. The initial marketing push on steam seems to be important (the only more important thing is actual release), so I'd wait til a more polished demo before putting it up on steam.>>541956072A polished vertical slice would be middle of development. I guess he considers anything before the content stage early?E3 demos are often years into development.
Day 8. I added a jump and added strafe animations. I mostly just fixed a bunch of bugs. Tomorrow I'll probably finish figuring out the IK rig for picking stuff up and using guns.
>>541956269Neat.>>541956426I'll be honest with you, I don't think I've ever played a walking sim or even anything close to one. The closest I've got to playing a walking sim is probably The Sims and that's not very close at all.

>>541954306>>541955053Sometimes you guys act like 100% of sales on steam come from streamers and it's kind of sad. There are actually people playing videogames and not really even watching streamers. I know that sounds crazy to you.
>>541956646I like your guy. Jump seemed a bit floaty though.
I went deep down the 3d shadow filtering rabbit hole.
>>541956808Discovery is the most important thing for indie games and streamers are the best discovery method around. It's just the way it is. I can't think of a successful indie game in the past decade that doesn't have youtube videos with 100k+ views

>>541955840Well to be fair Zukowski does say horror is one of the bullet proof genres right now. But let's be honest, is selling 1,000 copies really "making it"? Making $5,000 on a game that takes a year to make is a massive failure.
>>541957363I do this in my free time. If I make enough to pay off my car loan I'd be happy tbqh senpai.
>>541956902I agree, but I want to dial in all the rigidbody forces shit at once this weekend when I'm adding vehicles.
>>541956702For a “walking sim” it’s pretty good.This obviously isn’t your fault, but I hate that the term walking sim has come to describe any game that uses environmental storytelling rather than constant action packed gameplay. Walking sim was originally used to poke fun at lazy horror games like Slender where you literally just walked around a big empty map reading and collecting shit.
>>541957363Just make your games in less time. You shouldn't need a year to make a 2 hour game.
>>541957363>But let's be honest, is selling 1,000 copies really "making it"? Making $5,000 on a game that takes a year to make is a massive failure.A year? Maybe if it’s your first ever game. Most of those flash in the pan horror games that sell a few thousand copies could easily be made in a couple months. They’re full of premade assets and animations. $5k for 2-3 months of work isn’t bad at all.
>>541957363thats actually pretty good
Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 700 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY
Creatine does not cause hair loss I am so sick of this meme. WEIGHTLIFTING CAUSES HAIR LOSS. Because of how androgens affect blood flow/cause inflammation in the scalp.Topical anti inflammatories can fix this without tranny hormones that will chemically castrate you.
>>541957547To be fair, the only real difference between Mouthwashing and Slender is quality. They're both games where you walk around and experience environmental storytelling. It's just dosgshit environmental storytelling in Slender lol. I do agree that 'walking sim' could probably be replaced by a more descriptive term though. So could 'immersive sim', which feels even more vague and intangible than 'walking sim'. As far as I can tell, immersive Sims are just first person action RPGs.
If your game is not getting erotic fanart before it releases then it wont make it.
>>541957831I enjoy watching this pasta be ignored 99% of the time. Have a pity (You).
>>541957772Also once you have one game made you’re pretty much set. At that point you can just continuously reuse old assets and code over and over. Even if the game flops you have the framework to expand upon and make a potentially much better and more complex game.
>>541957916Fuck this isn’t /fit/
>>541957547People who use the term walking sim as a pejorative aren't going to buy that kind of game anyway regardless of what you call it so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're making something slow paced and contemplative, you're always going to run the risk of people calling it boring.

look at the state of the thread rn, fygoon was right
>randomly arguing about dating and lifting weights and creatine>for multiple threadsYou know those kids in school who think it's cool to have side conversations about stuff out loud while everyone is trying to learn and the teacher is trying to teach. They actually feel cool doing this.
fygoon? uglyfygoon? untalentedfygoon? raped
>>541958909He (you) does this kind of blogposting routine all the time so no.
yup, im thinking CHADgoon was right
>ontopic discussion was happening>must derail thread and bring it to a screeching haltThis is why teachers are constantly freaking out about the current generation being unteachable. Kids literally make random noises throughout the day or mumble lyrics out loud because they can't not have attention or just let people be focused on stuff.
>>541958909>look at the state of the thread rnwhat do you mean? looks fine to me
>IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE THAT THIS CHATROOM GOES FASTim wondering the progress per post ratio from 2019 to 2025, i would love to know how bad we fell off
>>541957772>$5k for 2-3 months of work isn’t bad at all.Yes it is. And no you aren't making a game in 3 months that will sell 1,000 copies.You guys are dangerously delusional.
>>541958950Yeah I’m a teacher and I talk about creatine and 100 men vs gorilla.I also ask them opinion about my game.The school spends thousands of dollars training me on new bullshit tech, and I don’t use any of it.I openly tell students to just ask ChatGPT, and I will often ask ChatGPT outright or even prompt it for my lessons.Learning is fucking gay lmaoIf I gmi I will probably still teach, I basically get paid to do nothing. Btw I have higher than average test results. Learning should be fun, these poor kids are getting mentally overloaded. They’re not going to learn shit like that, also it’s not that serious.

>>541959840>Yeah I’m a teacher and I talk about creatine and 100 men vs gorilla.Uh oh you're one of those teachers who tries to look cool to children. They make tiktoks to laugh about you flirting with the girls.
the only ones who talk about fygoon are fygoon himself and the fygoon simp
>Fygoon is deified.>The Chans tell tales of Him.>Few know the truth.>He was a normie once, as were we all.>However, His contempt for anime and pedophiles drove him to create me, and my brethren.
>>541960426nigga he’s the one making the posts about himself, and half the time he’s the one replying to those posts too. If you’re an unemployed loser who comes to this general every day (like me) you’ll start to notice patterns. He’ll make the exact same post multiple times over the span of a few weeks, and reply to it with the exact same post multiple times as well.I don’t even want to make this reply because I have even acknowledging his existence, but it is what it is.

>>541960786Let's start with your off-topic post.
>>541960786Literally the only evidence I’ve seen of reports working on this board is when I called a nodev brown and was given a 3 day ban for racism within 10 minutes of posting the reply.
>>541960773not true, i started namedropping fygoon when the nonces were posting because they piss me off so i piss them off by making fygoon post, i saw some other guy do it too which made me kek its like the batman signits not that deep
>>541960773He goes into a spiral whenever agdg starts humming with on topic discussions. It's the exact phenomena already discussed. Children like him have to be forcibly removed from classrooms and medicated. It doesn't take long for him to eventually resume posting his calling cards like he's doing now. He can't handle being just another anonymous shitposter.
>>541961132>seething at CHADgoon>cannot stop talmbout children or using analogies that feature childrencurious...
It's just the usual suspects trying to burn the thread down because they know they don't have the magic. Just scroll up and you can see the moment they flew off the handle because GODkowski was posted.
we all come to the amateur gamedev general to read about creatine and balding brothats totally normal for a gamedev general you fuckin fygoon!!!

>>541940570This is very big brain and true. Chris Zukowski said this about steam as well that people can't actually comprehend how massive the audience for games is and some people don't share their game enough because they don't want to overexpose their game when in reality you can post your game everywhere on the internet all the time and you are still not going to scratch the surface of your audience. You need to be promoting your game constantly 24/7 nonstop to make sure just 1% of your playerbase hears about you. Hundreds of millions of people.

>>541964727i find it ironic how the only posters fygoon wants to annoy are the ones not annoyed by him
it's amazing how much your life can change and how much yesdev success you can get in the time that everybody is busy shitposting

Fygoon was right.Fygoon is cool and suave. You nodevs are pathetic and lame.Fygoon is a yesdev. You are a nodev.Fygoon is a smooth dude, he can make his game so well that it's very existence taunts you. You are all cowards, notice how fygoon posts his game regularly and people regularly complain about him?It's not his ego doing this, it's yours. He posts slick progress in a humble way, and you nodevs jump on him out of jealousy.It's pathetic, you are all scumbag crabs
>>541965305loli posters just ignore fygoon and keep loli posting, the normal posters are the ones that keep giving fygoon attention for some reason

>>541963094>But why the fuck would you want to work in AAA? >>541963178I don't really. Most game ideas I have could be done on Unity from what I've read. I have coding background so I could learn either. It's just whichever results in the best vision I have in mind.The only things I hear lacking for Unity are -graphics capability and loading a lot of high quality textures at once without breaking-multiplayer support Is it true still, realistically? (not some random bs framework that may do it horribly)Looking far into the future but, would any non-AAA studio even consider an MMO on Unity?
So this is it huh? Another meltie night? Grex was right.
He's watching the thread again. Y'all better behave now.
>>541965116Head is bobbing because the body is a big active ragdoll system. I want to exaggerate those natural movements more later on since I think visible physics are very appealing.

>>541954306I am once again advocating for gamedevs to implement process checks that lock players out of events if they're recording. Just check if OBS, Fraps, Bandicam, Unregistered Hypercam 2, etc. are running and if they are make it impossible to trigger certain events that you don't want spoiled. I am doing something like this in my game.

>>541969324its risk of rain x vampire survivors and is shilled by the biggest streamers since its made by danidev
It saddens me to see the success of Megabonk be attributed to anything other than viral marketing. That is the sole reason it found success. Viral marketing. The game itself is merely an MVP - a Minimum Viable Product - that is compatible with the casual general youth gaming audience on Steam. The main cause of its success was the attention it garnered on social media platforms before release, and the direct support from the Discord community the developer created from this attention.The game was deliberately designed to gain attention on social media, and did this perfectly. The attention was then converted to supporters, and the supporters gave the game the initial momentum it needed to lead into further success.Viral marketing. Megabonk did well because it utilized, and was created specifically for, viral marketing. That's all there is to it.The developer is competent and deserves his success, but to claim that viral marketing was not the core cause of the game's massive success, is simply false. That would be an in incorrect assessment of the context regarding the game's development, promotion, and launch.
>>541968965I always implement anti-piracy measures thanks to games like Mirror's Edge and Batman Arkham Asylum, should probably start doing it for screen capture utils as well. Thanks for the hot tip, anon.

>>541956472i'll give you the secret saucevampire survivors but 3d in space
>>541969685I want as much active hostility towards sloptubers and data miners. I want gamers and consumers to understand so little about the backend of the game that they're playing that it reverts back to the magical thinking of a few decades ago. I want a million new stories of video games hiding creepypasta-esque hidden routes, that are "totally there guys, I just can't prove it". I want the legacy of MatPat left in the gutter where it belongs, and I want the up and coming generations to have playground rumors again. The war isn't won until every well hidden easter egg is filmed with a shaky, low quality, camera - and the comments are filled with people debating about whether it's real or not.
>Megabonk this Megabonk thatMore like mega bonk these retards when they parade around Shrimp Game and ask how that succeeded. Can't recognize a good game if it's standing in their face.
>>541968965netflix windows app has some way to black out the screen if you try to screenshot/record it, i dont actually know how it does it but it could be cool if you could sneak secrets/easter eggs in somehow rather than blacking out the screen in your game
>>541970631Shrimp Game will flop, it lacks the sauce
>>541969635umm akshually im not just a goycattle its literally the best game ever created and thats why i bought it and played it
my friendslop will save the world
>>541970694IIRC that's "Widevine DRM". I think Project Zomboid has something similar, screenshotting for me always gives me a wrong picture unless I tab out and in again. The idea I'm going for involves a check after he game starts, but before the actual game, which edits a global value and along with three or four other qualifiers gives you the spooky shit that can't be filmed. Minimizing during the spooky stuff also crashes the game. I would also recommend filling the screen with noise if you want to do something like this, just to kill the bitrate.
>>541970809Based and same
>>541970956interesting thanks i'll take a look at it
>>541954306It needs to be so compelling that people want to have it in their libraries as a personal statement, the same way someone would want to buy a copy of a book to put on their shelf when they could have just borrowed from a library, or buy a copy of a movie DVD to put on their shelf when they could stream it.

>>541974135I like the Oddworld games, so I appreciate the comment. This is an unused concept I had for a character that would appear during Fygoon's adventure in exile: a Palmite. These guardian beasts would have served the Axolotl Men (the Mudokon stand-ins) in their Moonstone Temple for one of the three trials to get to the Guardian automaton; while the Axolotl Men remain, these monsters did not.Do not listen to >>541974321, >>541974509.

>>541974941I used to burn old games onto surplus CDs and distributed them throughout my school with the family iMac, complete with hand-drawn CD inserts. I played Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee on the PS3 since I had some money left over from buying God of War 2005 and the Jak and Daxter collection and I love the aesthetic; it's hard as nails, though, and I wish Lorne Lanning would make a movie based on the game because Soulstorm literally looks like something I'd watch at the local theater.On that topic, other "old" games I have played and influenced my own game's design include Dinosaur Planet, Ecstatica (somewhat, since my own style of Ico-Art spawned independently), American McGee's Alice and Bionicle: The Legend of Mata Nui, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Conker, Bubsy, and Kameo: Elements of Power, among hundreds of others.

Is there any full red yarn and corkboard thing about how the fuck random trash like pic related goes viral?Like a guy retired on this. And it’s not even a game. There’s no way this isn’t some weird back door campaign where he paid off some people to force it into the public consciousness somehow.Same with stuff like “no I’m not a human”.I just don’t believe it’s organic.
>>541978545Why don't you believe it?
>>541977949Don’t worry, accelerators are just a way for billionaires to give their friends’ kids money and make sure the upper class stays upper class. They aren’t real and applying to them as a normal person is just giving away your ideas to billionaires’ kids for free.
>>541978545Anon, dumb luck is still a factor. The retards here are not human and don't have brains, but it's still entirely possible for a random shitty game to blow up to insane levels just because a bunch of big youtubers pushed it to the top. Is it unlikely? Yes. But it's not a 0% chance.It's the same as asking "how the fuck do homeless hobos win the lottery"
>>541978545>And it’s not even a game.source?I played it.Low interactivity games are games. make one instead of seething about them.
>>541978545>Price: $9.99>Review score: 97%>Average playtime: 10.9hIt's a narrative-driven game with a simple and easy-to-understand core gameplay loop with enough depth for it to be expanded upon. Retards like you can't even keep a player engaged for 10 minutes, let alone 10 hours. Just like make a good fun game that people want to play.
>>541978636Because I played it and it’s really stupid and not a game. I don’t believe people willingly played through a full month of this before it was famous. I don’t believe in a reality where this was just one of many unknown indie games, and someone got it on a whim, and after a few days went “WOW this is SO GRIPPING I must continue”.It’s the digital equivalent of loading a dishwasher. It’s not even at the level of “is a game” of Tetris. It’s not even at the level of “is a game” of a visual novel. It straight up isn’t a game.
>>541978979>through a full month of this before it was famousDid it really sit unnoticed for a month?

>>541980252yeah but more specifically how are they implemented?
>>541978545yeah it's mostly just spamming advertisementsyou can brute force most games into financial success through raw exposure, bonus points for positive exposurebut also, games don't need to be "games" to be enjoyed by casuals, many normie-friendly games do well based purely on the basis of their art and storydisco elysium is an example of this, very boring gameplay, but nice art, an interesting story, and lots of exposure = big success

>>541984251>day ruinedThis is brainwashing working as intended. Everything we consume is designed around making us more susceptible to external things. Sugar, Caffeine, etc you name it.You can bruteforce through it and reach top 20% potential, but if you drop the act completely you can reach 0. 1. Remove sugar, caffeine, and other brain altering stuff from your diet.2. Every morning try to sit extremely still, relax your eyes and ignore every sensation, keep this up until you can sit even without blinking for +30 minutes.Every single mental thought has a corresponding physical movement. By first stabilizing your body, your mind becomes stable. You should be able to see changes right away, you will be able to work more, without getting tired. Next step after +30 minute of motionless body is a motionless mind. While sitting still, focus only on your breath. If you can achieve both simultaneously for 30 minutes, then you are already in the top 5%. Most people waste energy because their mind is like a light bulb. After this exercise, your mind will be like a laser. You can focus on it on your game, and you will forget about other stuff completely.The final step is to not think at all. That is, even the laser pointer is off. What happens now? You are now storing energy without wasting a single drop. But you gotta master the first 2.

idk if I'm crazy for wanting to make a 3D (stylish) action game..People like my 3D stuff. I like action games and think there's a lack of them.But I'm honestly kinda intimidated by the fact that there's a lack of them..Like, not even big studios make them. It's basically just Capcom, Platiunum and... no one else.if it's because they don't sell then honestly idrcif it's because they're TOO HARD to make even for pro-studios... Then I might have to rethink my scope
>>541989467Na. It's just that they don't sell. Action-focused games needs to be balanced with other stuff in order to be successful, typically either with movieslop cutscenes or simulation gameplay.
>>541989467It's the last kind of game I'd want to make because you have to be really good at animation to make it look not shit or boringBut if you're good at animation then go for it
gmi or ngmi?
>>541989835Did you advertise it hard or is it just from organic Steam visibility? If it's organic, then GMI, assuming it's a small-scale project that you can release in a reasonably short amount of time.

>>541966062Built-in networking on any engine is only good for smaller games. If you're building something complex like an MMO you'd want to be using a solution that's better suited for it for example SpacetimeDB or roll your own.What Unity really has problems with is large open worlds because it doesn't support double precision coordinates. That means you have to come up with a workaround. Usually that's called a floating origin. >>541966448>Unity has a more flexible rendering stack than unrealTrue. Unreal looks good on the surface but most games released with it have awful rendering artifacts and it's entirely reliant on DLSS to hide them. Epic has made some absolutely retarded choices with their renderer on Unreal.

>>541989298did it even hit 10 reviews?
You live in a world where thirdies make up most of steam who can barely pay rent. A thirdie defaults into thinking good graphics mean high price. If its shit grafix people will not pay more than 10 eur.
>>541990492>he has time to be madlmao ngmi
>>541991395you've got $100,000 don't you anon?
>>541991779The way for indies to make it is to optimize for one of the major algorithms. You can optimize for the Steam algorithm by following Chris Zukowski's advice, or you can optimize for the YouTube+Twitch algorithms following Gavin's advice. There can also Twitter+TikTok games, like that one viral pig game (I forgot its name already).
>>541991779>who is gavin, did he make the horror train game? choo choo charles?Yes that's the guy.>i think it's becoming increasingly obvious that the meta for efficienct profit for indie devs is to viralmaxxCorrect. If you design a game to go viral you have a very high "guarantee" of it doing well on launch and seeing the stuff you post about it going viral is a good measure to give you confidence that it will do well. >i think the secret to virality is storytellingTo me story seems to be something that's hard to viral market. Maybe if it's on a player fantasy level where just hearing one sentence describing the game makes people want to play it but that's very hard to do. Things that go viral in shorts and tiktok seem to be more about fun looking gameplay, memes and visuals.

My game has you gather a bunch of different kind of devices that you then use to process your other stuff. What do you think, should I add in a mechanic for powering those devices with some sort of "energy" mechanic, so you would have to make generators, and power the devices so that they work. I see many other games do this, and often times, if done carelessly, it just adds to the tedium IMO. Can you name any games that do this well?
>>541992947
>>541993173It works well enough in Satisfactory and Factorio.
>>541991083>portrait takes up 1/4 of screendo the japanese really?
It's incredible how you can spot an attention seeking faggot pretending to be someone else while shilling for himself.In fact, it's very simple: if they are mentioning the attention seeking fag, then they are the attention seeking fag; of course I will not mention who I am talking about as it would mean giving them the attention they crave.
Alright. I've done my tutorials, I've made my Pongs and Flappy Birds and Breakouts. What next? I feel like I still haven't learned anything about turning vague ideas ("would it be cool if", "what if a game revolved around %mechanic%") into actual design and prototypes. Just making things on the fly as I feel them is too disjointed and has me going nowhere as a result.
>>541993939Do some game jams next.

>>541994079he's just like me fr fr
>>541994091Just to force myself to produce *something* within the constraints of a given theme? I guess it could work as a learning experience but it's also intimidating for the same reasons.
>>541993939I mean, you just kinda make the ideas work and see if they're any fun. Then you either clean it up and build it up or move on to another idea. Game jams are a way to make yourself do something quick without worrying too much, though I don't care for it.
>>541994216i do feel self pity yeah
>>541994267IMO, the time pressure from a fixed deadline is more important than the constraint of the theme. Yesterday, some anon was looking for teammates for a prize money jam, but no one responded >>541883093. You could link up.
>>541993939Come up with an experience you want to deliver and then come up with mechanics that suit that experience.
There's a cosplay event next spring. Might FUCK one of the bocchicosplayers this time. And I don't even have to mention my game [Spoiler]Just how much it makes make cosplaysluts reconsider going to the changing room with me

How the hell do people make 3d assets for games so quickly? I spent an entire day making an unfinished low-poly sailboat that looks like shit. Am I missing something or is it just practice and repetition?
>>541998106this is common amongst bocchi the rock fans
>>541992305>To me story seems to be something that's hard to viral market.it is very difficult to viral market, i think diving deeper into human desires and understanding ideas or scenarios that generate large amounts of interest is the best way to maximize this skilllike you can design a villain that pisses people off, then make a ragebait advertisement and say "play this game to defeat him", or something like thatit'll be less of the gameplay, or the art, or the genre that generates appeal, and more of the idea of seeing the bad guy be defeated that makes people interested
>>541998883why not use antiparasitic medication and see if it works?
>>541997048It has to be something you truly love
>>541999269i believe the term i'm looking for is "narrative framing"learn this skill and your virality potential can skyrocket
>>541999139pic related, the worlds shittiest sail boat
>>541999139>>541999667People don't. Most props don't matter. If this sailboat is supposed to be a critical player-controlled gameplay element, then sure, you can spend more time on it, but otherwise, just buy something out of an asset store or even use a free CC0 mesh.
>>541999962That's a relief. The assets are what I am struggling with the most at the moment. It has been my biggest hurdle in trying to create a functional prototype
>>541999139You really do get quicker at it once you get comfortable with the tools and get experience in general. You become to know how to model things before you start. You know how to get a type of shape so it becomes quicker to make.
>it's okay to use AI to generate all the marketing material for your game and even the cover art>but don't you DARE! EVER! to use it to generate some voicelines for your game!What the fuck? How is this fair?

Also, people with poor immune systems would be more susceptiblehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugchasingis at least something most people don't engage in, and it's arguably suicidal and irrational, or possibly utterly wretched and evil when trying to spread it on purpose to others, to engage in>Bugchasing (alternatively bug chasing[1]) is the rare practice of intentionally seeking human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection through sexual activity.[2]>A self-described "poz vampire"—the word poz referring to acquiring HIV[40]—he was immersed in bugchasing culture.would you go out and try to acquire HIV, and then try to infect as many others as possible?

what happened to the hirdrih game
I'm making a dungeon crawling roguelite of sorts with autobattling for combat. In terms of the crawling I'm not sure which approach should I take.>A>standard roguelite nodemap>player completes a node and chooses the next>dungeon crawling is just visual where the view quickly autopaths to the next nodeor>B>have a map that the player can explore and complete on their own pace and choose the order as they wish within what's accessible>similar to a game like backpack hero>you don't need to complete everything but you might miss out if you don'tA would diminish the dungeon crawl feel of the game but with B people are just gonna clear everything because there's no downside well there is if you lose a fight. I'm not sure if the freedom given to the player to explore will make up for it.
>>541991083i wish i had a cute angel girl in the corner of my eyes 24/7
>>542002593>I'm making a dungeon crawling roguelite of sorts with autobattling for combatdoesn't sound funI prefer B

>>541934265>terminally onlinethat is also internet meme speak talk like you're in the year 2006 next time
>>542002593Both are fine. Assuming all encounters are auto-battles, then B is functionally also just a menu same as A, and players WILL backtrack and visit every room.

I'm demoralized when I see someone very capable who failed to make it. like they had a big success at one point and since then flop after flop. it's like skills and experience matter very little and a fanbase means even less.
>>541956646why the fixed camera angle in a 3d platformer?

>>542003485>if anything, the jews fear hornyyeah dude goon all day to own the kikes, you're so brave and powerful
>>542003114The way I designed my combat loop is that character health and mana resets between each fight and if you lose a fight you lose "party health" instead of instantly losing the run. Then you can have events playing into that resource as well.>>542003307>then B is functionally also just a menu same as A, and players WILL backtrack and visit every room.Yes indeed. I just liked how Backpack Hero did it and considered it an option for my game. I think the main difference is that in Backpack Hero you have to manage your character's health for every fight and that might cause you to skip some fights that are unfavorable to your build but sometimes there's also the option of different paths through the dungeon so you might do the easier stuff first and then go for the harder fight once you've gotten a level or some gear. I guess the gear part still applies to my game which could be enough of a choice to be presented to players.
>>542003854>The way I designed my combat loop is that character health and mana resets between each fight and if you lose a fight you lose "party health" instead of instantly losing the runSounds boring
>>541987147crisoken release?
i wish i could be somebodys devfriend
>>542003698If someone succeeds once they might be fooled into thinking that was a winning strategy and get stuck trying to replicate it instead of adapting to the times. This very much happens in the game industry. What worked once might not work again. Consistently successful devs evolve from game to game. Doesn't exactly apply to AAA.
>>542003778hmm. I think maybe the reported number isn't right. when you middle-click orbit the mouse it probably seems smoother than 25

>>542004030>adapting to the timesWhat if I'm disgusted by the times?
>>542003485>if anything, the jews fear hornyNo, they don't.In fact, they don't even know who you are and they are not even aware of your existence in the first place and, even if they were, why would they care? You people are completely obsessed with an entire ethnicity for the only reason that you need your comfortable boogeyman to shift the blame and justify your inactions."I'm doing this because the jews don't like it", "I'm not doing that because it's a jewish conspiracy"; all of these are excuses to keep living a stagnant life made of blaming people that have nothing to do with you, because as long as you repeat the action of blaming someone else for your problems there will be no time to think how to solve them or put any action.It's sad, really.
>>541939475what game?
>>541942634i mean, do you want him to add agdg crossover cameos in his game?
>>542003698There are many different gamedev relevant skill. The skill to design a video game, the skill to actually implement that design, the skill to know what's the right game to design, the skill to manage a budget and team, etc. Different games require different skills. Just because someone had the right skills for one game doesn't they'll have the right skills for another.>>542004320Then you're NGMI. Go play the lottery.
>>542004106a fun co op game, because i like playing them with my friends :)
>>541940640i want to be like john carmack
>>541941734no he didntthat was a dude called alex who later inspired the alex girl in minecraft
>>542004634You're missing several dozen IQ points for that.
>>542004320I didn't mean that you have to make slop to succeed. It's a more complex equation. There's a lot of games that did well in 2015 that wouldn't do well in 2025. Times change, what's popular changes, what players feel is stale changes. Sometimes things loop back and it is possible that what was popular in 2015 could become popular again at some point in the future.

>>541978545I liked it but I gave it a chance because I read good things about it. There are many games out there that I'd like if only I were to try them but I just don't care any more. Last time I played a new game was 6 months ago. There's so much entertainment out there, I'm not eagerly anticipating any game.
>>542005672Okay, sounds fun. Keep posting and I will go dev.
>>541932285what inspired this design?
>>541980348this, its already solved by the mobile game market
>>541978545it's a novel concept for a game
>>542005250Could go the feminist angle for one, the faith has some interesting views on women. If I were to make a "Haha funny"-game I could probably work around the claims about reincarnation and escaping samsara, which is somewhat absurd if you reject spiritual otherworldly stuff like that. I know I will be nothing when I die, am I the Buddha?There is of course also the tried and true "Religion bad".

>>542003698technical competence is not the same as market competenceit's possible for somebody to be good at making games, but bad at making games that sellthis flaw can be overcome through adequate market research, but most indie devs are just passionate artists who want to have fun and hope for the bestif you truly took this seriously enough you'd eventually be able to make enough money to at least sustain operations

>>542016863yeah, it's super easy but we're not doing it because we're better than that.
>>542005028It's very beautiful, though I'm a bit annoyed that they replaced Director Phleg with Morguer and completely got rid of Dripik (RIP "Screw you, Aslik. You ain't running' nothin'"). Personally, crafting does not really work in an Oddworld game: the entire series hinges on using GameSpeak - aside from Stranger's Wrath - to get anywhere.>>542006456It's alright. It looked too close to the Paramite for me to use and, if I were to try to make it more original, it'd certainly lose its charm.
