>>543680021I'm seeing a lot of butthurt and generalized criticism in the reviews. It could be good but it's too early to say.

>>543678937Qrd. I've been gone for a couple months
>>543680268The only thing that really rubs me the wrong way is the developer. They're not a good studio and they have yet to make a single good game thus far so I don't have much hope for it but I will be trying it out tonight.

i give up
Making amateur videogames is loser behavior
i need to come up with a good easy to understand ui for mixing things, if you wanted to make a white russian it's essentially 20/20/60, but i don't really know what i'd show to the player, like a list of compatible recipes when an included item is selected, and what the other amounts are depending on how much you pour in?
Reminder the constant "I give up posts" is just their demoralization fetish don't respond to it, in fact you should consciously dismiss it from your mind so it doesn't effect you. They aren't even creative enough to respond to people who take the bait but that's not the point. It's all about creating an air of demoralization in the gamedev thread. The very essence of crab.
where are da lolligaems???
>>543683645Whatever that is, make it a rigid set of given options, it's the easiest type of ui to understand.
why does the brain say "you need to make it with your game, or you gonna be poor" when in fact as a male your don't care about poverty, and the actual truth is "you need to make it with your game, or no women will want a relationship with you"?men don't fear poverty, or they'd all be about security, what they really fear is loneliness.the way men get obsessed with alpha/sigma, mgtow and incel culture is nowhere near the level of being angry about wageslaving.
>>543684006What a terrible post. Take a break from the internet.
>>543683645Analog sliders for mixing feels overly complicated from a gameplay perspective, but here, let me google that for you: https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/134272/control-for-adjusting-ratio-between-quantities

i want to make a game, solo, that makes money. that is my goal.what game will make money that i can finish? i don't know. nobody knows.conclusion: i wont even start, because i don't know what will make money.conclusion: unless i find an other reason to dev, i wont ever finish a game

>>543679614holistic game design, as in every part of the game matters

my only fear is, after I release my game (with shitty music produced by me in DAW)after 3 months I get some YT strikes for copyrighted musicshould I register my music before? how?
>>543679614The player is an M and the dev is an S.
>>543679614Tutorials are fucking stupid. They can figure it out and if they can't they're not my audience anyway.
>>543687346This is the next big game (I am not going to make it because that would be jumping ideas)
>>543688162i had that thought and still have that thought but more than 99% of my players stop playing after 10 minutes
>>543687203You forgot gooning
>>543687986even if you cut every possible corner you would still be looking at 5 years minimum of nonstop development even with a clear and concise vision. nobody said game development is easy. small teams of people really is the only solution to make something like that. you could make the game with rpgmaker visuals and you're still going to struggle with it.
>>543678937At this point the game is completely dead beyond recovery, it's too late to try and revive it. I would accept it flopped and move on. The same thing he's going to do.
>>543685434Thank.

>>543688023https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/copyright/
>>543688826>At this point the game is completely dead beyond recovery,strongly disagree, he needs to release a lot of free content to recover it. it's always possible or recovery I mean look at no mans sky that game was hot garbage and was hated by everyone. if he stays on the grindstone and continues pushing out quality free updates he can recover it.

>>543689132No Man's Sky never completely died and it was't a multiplayer only game. Cuffbust is completely dead. There is nothing left to recover since the playerbase evaporated after 36 hours. Cuffbust is only being mentioned because a crab gets aroused by bringing it up.

>>543690106The problem is it has next to zero content. 9 minutes of content is nothing. If he released a major expansion for free that adds hours of content I do think he could recover it if marketed properly. The problem is it would cost him more time and money with no guarantee. Nearly everything salvageable. He fucked up bigly by releasing the game in it's current state at all.
>>543690163>quick candy dopamine bursts>even better if you make the player feel like theyre making a choice, then they get the dopamine from "learning" too>you know a hobby is good, clean, and isnt on its death bed when you HAVE TO use scientific and medical terms to talk about dev>drug dealing is more honest

>>543691428>>543691591trooncoded
>>543678698I see a lot of conversation focused on marketing and sales recurring in /agdg/ and people referring to videos from the YouTube channel “How To Market A Game.”Honestly, I see a guy obsessed with numbers when the quality of video games varies greatly in terms of content, presentation, and community.The reason why the 10,000 wishlist tip is valuable is not because it indirectly forces you to validate the idea by creating a community before launching the game.And let's be honest, most of us are autistic programmers who know nothing about art, being likable on the internet, or telling relevant mini-stories.
>>543690606>I do think he could recover it if marketed properlyIt's not possible to save it with marketing lol. You only get one release, he has completely blown his wad. Your points might work for an early access game, but he didn't do that. Didn't do demos, didn't do nextfest or early access, just did a single release that fell to pieces, slashes the price in half which is really a way of saying "fuck it I don't even care". It's OVER.
>>543691861tell me, how am I supposed to make a 'community' around an unreleased single player game where I don't want to spoil the game by posting too much
>>543691861>And let's be honest, most of us are autistic programmers who know nothing about art, being likable on the internet, or telling relevant mini-stories.I am this but artist with no coding skill

>>543692082This is the next big hit
>>543691978>It's not possible to save it with marketing lol. You only get one releaseJust incorrect and not true. Very limited brain activity going on for you.
>>543691978Release doesn't matter as much as retards like you might think. He still has a 300k wishlist balance to work with. 95% of his wishlists probably saw the release email with the $19.99 price tag and though "I'll wait for it go on sale to buy it".
ok so i came to the conclusion that godot/unity are shit for vibecoding and i need to use a framework insteadi literally to shelf my 9th prototype because they become unmaintable by a human after a few weeks of work, its just incomprehensible code that breaks if you use the editor
>>543691861ain't reading all that, @grok summarize this post
>>543691861We have plenty of other sources to get marketing advice from. Including pic who has actually been successful as a gamedev.We will continue to worship zukowski in this thread and you will not stop us.
>>543691861I don't really want to be money motivated. If I can get a small enough following so I can have people make fan art of my characters, then I'll have succeeded in my eyes.I'm making a story-focused adventure game, and I just hope my game's art and writing carries. I'm not smart or talented enough to program anything cool. I just making a game for myself at this point.

To al of you indie devs with games on sales: if it's not at least 5 dollars, don't even bother. I do no get up to piss over your couple of bucks 15% discount of $2.25. It's annoying to see

>>543693638Depends on how good it is and how much people are willing to pay for it
>>543693437Are you saying the saved $ total should be over $5, or that you should only put games over $5 on sale? Seems like autism to me, why are you upset over smaller sales?
>>543693754$5 off from the listed price. It is autism I admit. I look at the sales on Steam and I see a 20% discount, then look over and see it's something like PEAK where it's $1.60 off an dollar game
Progress on making the shops 3D background level have better art.
>>543693161Most people don't autistically scour the internet for gaming news. They just play whatever their friends tell them to. I wouldn't know about any of this if y'all weren't posting about it. Plenty of big games have had terrible release and then recovered later. Plenty of games have Mixed reviews and still maintain tens of thousands of CCU.

What makes you keep dev'ing past the feeling that you're wasting your life making toys for manchildren that nobody will even play? Half a decade of your productive life so that some fuck can download it and go "that was an okay game I guess" and then forget about it a day later.
Gavin go fix your fucking game already.

He is in panic mode after Cuffbust flopped. His game Twisted Tower is going to flop too.
>>543694313Why not just jerk off then?
>>543691861marketing just boils down to storytelling, which programming spergs will always be bad at
>>543692509>Twisted Tower isnot going to releaseHe can keep working on the demo indefinitely while continuing to do updates on his youtube and interviewing "fellow game developers". And he has earned that right by making a living with gamedev already, but now he's making a living by being the developer of Twister Towers as a work in progress with no deadline which he has said he is willing to spend forever working on until it's perfect. So yeah that game is never coming out. >https://youtu.be/Injjen3Jx1w&t=1330He's only just now optimizing stuff like lighting. After working on it for 4 years.
>>543695496The biggest problem with Twisted Tower is that he hasn't released it yet.He did a next fest earlier this year and got a ton of wishlists that are going to go cold by the time he decides to release it.And with no release date in sight I'm guessing it won't happen until mid 2026.
>>543695496why do his replies read like an llmsouless
>>543695765normalfags are the original llms
>>543695003At least they talk about the game instead of bringing up the personal life and tweets of the dev, food for thoughts.
>>543695720He always says he has been working on it for 5 years but in reality the current version of TT has only existed for 2 maybe 3 years.He spent over 2 years working on Father which had a completely different visual identity and level design.I also think he's lying about how far he is in the game's development. He has shown off the opening level and the water park level in his livestreams but never anything past that. The trailer shows a theme park and a forest but I'm betting he made those scenes for the trailer.
>>543695003>it's fucking boringnah, you're just braindead
These vile creatures are overjoyed at the failure of cuffbust dev. Look at how giddy and delighted they are.
>>543696207calm down gavin

steamies love games that make them feel smart
>>543695357"Banquet for Fools" I binged it
>>543696103Current TT is probably about 2 years old. There was a year long transition period where he was trying to figure out what TT even was and he went from it being a roguelike to a multiplayer game to a puzzle game where you manipulate the world, etc.
Does it look good enough?I am thinking of not worrying about the metalness, roughness and emission effects, I am pretty happy with how it looks. If you look at the groves in the ceiling you can see how the bumpmap makes a difference on the final rotation of the light.

>>543696767Chickenman works at a call center and is wrongfully terminated from his job.(the game takes place where humans don't exist, and instead there are two classes of "people" wihch are birds and dogs, the birds have all the shit jobs and the ruling class of dogs are evil and run everything and exploit the bird workers. So chickenman gets very angry and decides to kill his boss on the 12th floor of the building. Each floor is an office space, but slightly differently themed depending on what birds work there (for example the green/jungle themed floor will be filled with tucan worker birds).Gameplay is hopefully going to be similar to superhot/hotline miami with muscle memory style gameplay with each level being very fast but hard to beat.>>543696892https://github.com/Bigfoot71/r3dthis was my starting point for creating these effects in my raylib engine, that alongside my own shaders as well, the examples really help to understand how it works so you can extend it or alter it for your needs.

game designed for 1 = ngmi, don't bother promotinggame designed for 5 = gmi, spend millions on advertisements
why are games so unoriginal? it's either a FPS, RTS, TBS, rogue-like or one of maybe 5 other genres.literally the only limit for a game is your imagination, and yet 99.9% of games are just clones with small features/tweaks to make them "unique".Is "idea guy" really a meme role after considering this?

I like this style of drawing.Is it good enough for making a VN?
>>543699463I would look up gamedev meet ups in nearby cities and see if anyone there wants to team up.Working entirely over the internet is a headache and there is all sorts of legal shit you gotta deal with if they're not within the same country as you.
>>543699695lmao waffle path
>>543699695yes cris, make your vn already
>>543699695>Is it good enough for making a VN?probably, I ain't gonna read/play that, though.
>>543699747>I would look up gamedev meet ups in nearby cities and see if anyone there wants to team up.I'm moving to Florida (Orlando specifically) in a month). Not many gamedevs live there.Am I fucked?
>>543690532iirc the novel the anime is based on is even more depressing. I think the writer based it off his own life(?). It's nice to read/watch stuff like this to remind yourself of where you might end up when you stop trying.But anon, even if you're a NEET loser now things can still get better. Just take small steps and you'll get there in time. In fact, being a NEET and having free(?) rent and foot, water, electricity gives you so much free time to take it slow and self-improve. I believe in you.>>543696527Seems fine to me. Not sure what your game will be like, but having bump maps feel a lot nicer when you introduce some dynamic moving lights (e.g. flashlight moving across a surface) to allow them to give more noticeable depth to textures.>>543698521Woah. This is some kind of navmesh, right? Looks sick.>>543697551You've got a lot of materials, Bokudev. What do your setpass calls look like in the profiler? In the future, if you notice performance issues, this might be something to look into. Otherwise nice progress and cute room for showing off all the extra skins. I hope your game releases soon.>>543678845The mono-eye tracking is now damped. Looks quite good like this. Now I'm going to move onto giving the robot his final attack (a ranged machine gun burst from the wrist).

>>543701363I feel grabbing is a good feature for 2d platformers. The question to ask is if you want to have puzzles that need the player to move an object around or if throwable objects will be used for combat. If the game has MP, it might be fun to have so you can throw other players.

>>543691861The Cogmind developer (kyzrati) did this and he's beloved by his community. He's been able to thrive on just that game and some side work for about a decade. It's an incredibly niche game too.

>>543705043Yeah, it was going to be the default method of combat, like how it works in Kirby. It's an interesting dilemma because then you must litter levels with grabbable blocks or objects. Note how Kirby can only hurt bosses when they allow him to do so, unless he has a power-up with him. It makes things a bit difficult not only for the player but also for the dev.Overall I wanted to simplify my game, and it turns out that anything that the grab function can do is done better by simply having a power-up do it. My game already has a bunch of things going on, so I'm going to stick to power-ups.
>>543705635Good lineart.
>>543707596Could reuse the animations for a bomb power up or similar just to save on your hard work
>>543708276Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. That would've been pretty funny.

Steam is almost certainly more or less spyware for the US government and its TLAs, and that likely gives Valve and Steam hidden and severe competitive advantages. Similar to Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Dropbox.Steam is also not the most moral software, considering that for instance it turns a lot of people into achievement-hunting addicts, or otherwise makes people have hundreds of unplayed titles in their accounts. Though there are even worse and less moral ways to handle a gaming store, and if not Valve and Steam, other, possibly less moral stores might fill the void. And for foreign stores, instead of money going into US coffers, the money would go into other countries' coffers. Probably similar reasons why some countries have gambling laws limiting gambling to inside the country and have nationalized gambling companies - if there are to be gambling addicts, keep the money inside the country.

>>543726760>>543727325Is your mother a cheap prostitute?
>>543700989I dunno, I think people are more interested in seeing new mechanics and different ways of interactivity than a game that looks pretty and has a strong narrative. I'm working in a super niche, easy to use engine to get by. I love doing art and writing, but since I can't really code, I feel like such a poser.I've spent almost a year on my project now with and I dunno if it'll be worth it. Never worked on something this substantial by myself before.
>>543729781no but she's a stupid whore like all women
>>543729845I think you're being too sweeping with your remarks, there's a decent portion of games which got popular despite little or no gameplay. The entire genre of RPGMaker horror/walk sim games come to mind.
>>543679614Fuck what sells, make what you want to play.
why not look for job in esports? esports guys are more gamedevs and more techworkers than any gamedevs and any techworkers ever will.the environment is not sterile at all and you can be edgy as much as you like. No vapid boomer managers, no eggless female HRs, and most importantly, no dumb toddlers, and it's upholds actual genuine family values.it will feel like highschool again, trust me.
>>543730278Perhaps, maybe I'm just too ignorant and/or doomer with how the industry is. Spending literally hundreds of hours on a passion project with the fear of no one giving a shit in the end takes a toll.
>>543678845Progress: I made a new level today
>>543729845Perhaps work with someone who can code if you want more complicated mechanics? I myself can code but can't into art to save my life. I _could_ learn how to do such things, as you could learn to code, but it would be time consuming. So if I want to make anything other than a game for autists (eg dwarf fortress), then I will have to find an artist.But as this anon said >>543730278, plenty of people like playing narrative games. Hell, VNs are glorified CYOA novels.

Literally the word comes from "lone" and "monk". The song is from Welcome to the NHK,a story about a hikikomori boy convinced that the NHK (as in the japanese television network) is a massive conspiracy trying to ruin his life. The series covers him and those around him struggling to get out of their predicaments. Each episode goes over another "conspiracy" and each is titled "Welcome to (conspiracy) ". The song title is intended to mirror this.How is this related to the pink hair girl? I don't know. It must be a conspiracy.

>>543753050Just use stock royalty free at that point. That's what the decent musician is going to give you anyways. It takes an exceptional musician to know how to compose in a lot of different genres. The good musician isn't going to bother putting much effort into learning. The vast majority of musicians are subhuman grifters.

>>543756850So you're telling me I gotta kill myself after the release
>>543706320Ah yes, I know Cogmind indirectly from other games that were inspired by it.I also remember an old article by the creator of Avernum (Jeff Vogel) talking about the 1,000 fans and the long tail.https://jeff-vogel.blogspot.com/2009/07/getting-thousand-true-fans.html

>>543757262You can do that before, and the results will be the exact same.
>>543753934Had an idea a lot like this, "cozy job simulator" where you are a forward observer in a trench war, living in your dugout and peering out with binoculars from gaps in the sandbags. Fetching bandoliers from down the line, marking down things on a big map.In addition to your chore like routine tasks, you keep a close eye on no man's land for wire cutters, sappers, raiders etc and spot for the weapon crews.>See a cheeky two man team cutting wire while you're drinking your tea>Use your binocular to mark the position>Pull up a radial menu which directs fire to your mark>Choose "MG">The machine gun team, equally cozy down the line, fire a burst and turn the two guys into mist>See a tank slowly crawling over the hill>Mark it for artillery>First shot lands short>You use the artillery adjustment radial menu to call an adjustment of 1 unit North, 2 units east>It's very close now>You call to fire for effect>Bombs rain on the tank and it's obliteratedThe design problem I have with this idea is what happens if you don't spot/successfully destroy enemies. A loss condition isn't very cozy.
>>543757349Thank you anon, I've just got a great job and I can now feed my family (Me).

Anons, I tried to add some more functionality to my object pool script... With templates and interfaces. I fucked up big time... I tried to make it generic so it could be used by all component types. I fucked up big time. Cannot figure out either.
>>543757685Normally, I would say that I didn't read, and to start with Pong, but this is a reasonably well thought out idea for once. To keep things cozy, you can just make it so that nothing bad ever actually happens to you, the player. Any enemies you let past don't actually have any negative effect and your teammate NPCs will run forward to fix any damaged fortifications. At most, you'll get a stern talking to from a superior over the radio.This is basically that planetary defense game that Godaughters keep posting.
>>543695496insane how tommy is literally adding nothing, just posting for the twitter blue cents then jonas is adding substance, but in the least efficient way possible to spread tweets out for twitter blue centsis that the real grift? gamedev SUCKS!
>>543758284Be real, anon.
>>543758574Just like instantiate scenes, doofus.
>>543757291>I have to read a written articleugh. someone put this into a minecraft parkour youtube short for me
>>543758747Thanks for reading my idea post anon I'm post-pong but don't want to project hop, especially since I don't have a clear vision regarding the loss condition.Having enemies break through down the line and be someone else's problem is a pretty good solution. It adds to the invincible feeling that your dugout is a safe, cozy place in the Hellscape war outside.As far as enemies hindering your efforts, I think enemy artillery rattling your base is also comfy, like a storm outside while you're in bed. Direct fire from enemies, be it automatic or sniper fire, would harmlessly plume off the sandbags and initiative a "duck" sequence where you put your head down. You could have a pesky sniper you need to zero artillery on who will hinder your efforts by keeping your head down until you switch peepholes.Aesthetically the big effort would be making a good base since it's what the player sees clearly, and the no-mans land and enemies need only be simple models since they are practically silhouettes in the darkness (a sniper in the enemy trench would be a slight helmet silhouette with occasional scope glint)This concludes my ideaguy post.
Finished texturing the enemy drone model! Now i just need to make the animation system and then add in the enemy behaviour (Just fly up close, shoot and dash side to side every once in a while)Maybe i'll make some variants that carry shotgun type guns or grenade launchers.

>>543764536If players can't break away from the curve at least 1/3 the runs with skill it's a bad roguelite.
I changed the battle system to mostly suppress certain information and to focus more on facial expressions. Might have to make some changes, but overall I like how I changed it to be more horror related than something more generic.
That's it. I have no idea what is going on in my code. I tried to make things generic. Used interfaces, generics etc. I have no idea what is wrong. It's not working. I'm an idiot.
>>543767342
are traditional roguelikes still played in 2025
>>543767342The point is that balancing the math of health and damage values is fairly straightforward. If enemy damage and health increases exponentially, you just make "bad" builds scale linearly or even logarithmically (i.e. diminishing returns) and align the intersection point a reasonable way into the run, maybe around halfway. If you're having trouble "balancing", you can just increase the slope difference between the two curves to create more separation.
>>543768505>it's too easyis not a good complaint on its own. you need to take the data of who is complaining about it into account.an end game player with meta progression who memorized the patterns of all enemies and it a good gamer should feel like it's relatively easy.a beginner should feel it's hard.
>>543768505I'm not that anon but why do RPGs always use exponential growth?Wouldn't it be easier to balance linear growth, and wouldn't that also prevent things like being able to one-shot every monster except for the guys who live in the area you visit last chronologically?
>>543768483nah, they actually require human input which means theyre aged out of the steam audience
>>543765605Some of it has to do with them not wanting to support people they dislike.Like, if the developer of a game made a brilliant game, but he murdered your family and stepped on your dog's tail, you wouldn't want anyone to buy his game.

All numbers are relative to each other regardless if it's exponential vs linear or if it's linear vs logarithmic. From a game feel perspective, exponential growth usually feels much better to the player.

>>543772735>About 12>AboutNice larp, retard.>>543773067And there's no way you're making any game in 3 months, nodev.
>>543772753If you want to make a game in three months and recoup your investment, it's difficult. I would suggest creative jam games with attractive mechanics that don't exist yet, and then send lots of emails to journalists and people at Bluesky.Perhaps create a cozy game for women where they can have pets, tend gardens, decorate, and do other things that women enjoy.
>>543771589i'm not degenerate enough to know what that means.

>>543772735Faggot.
>>543773220that's a good idea, starting from a jam would give me a headstart on marketing and the time restriction wouldn't matter since i'm already time restricted anyways, thanks!
>>543772362What AI model did you use for that?
>>543770095yaycoded
>>543752192youre gonna love the ending
>>543773371nta. it's not impossible to make a game in 3 months. it's impossible to make a game anyone would want to buy.it takes years to learn the tricks of the trade, what feels good, how you bring something from playable to fun to addicting hyper shit where your brain orgasms from the effects and sounds and action.that target is impossible. aiming to be a profitable game dev in 2 years is unlikely. aim small. maybe in a few years.
making an incremental game, but experimenting with a battlepass-like progression system instead of a branching upgrade treeinstead of analyzing the options and picking what seems most efficient, you progress by spending your points on the next available upgradeit's boring and lazy but worth experimenting with, since branching skill trees are already verified as enjoyable, i see no harm in trying out a new designmobile games tend to do this, but instead of spending resources to progress, progression happens automatically per mission/stage completionthis could be fun for casual players, which is perfect for me because that's my target audience
>>543773371It's possible for a highly skilled developer who isn't having to spend time learning a dozen different skills during the process, but even still, 3 months for a commercial game is a very very short dev cycle. A VS-like is deceptively complicated to make. The lowest scope commercial games are going to be some kind of horrorslop asset flip walking sim.You would know all this if you ever actually tried to make a video game. That's why it's impossible for you.
>>543774326Tower Wizard does this.
>>543774574does it? i'll check it out, thanks
>>543774326are you just cloning every short incremental that has come out the past year? Just a fair warning, incremental gamers are getting tired of those short arcadey skilltree type games.
>>543774713It's not exactly a "battle pass", but yeah. "Milestones" are a fairly common incremental progression system.
>>543774420imagine not being able to make a vs-like in less than 3 months, sounds like a you issue
>>543774790no, i believe my game is unique and has positive traits, i'm not explicitly copying previous games, but since it'll be the first incremental game i plan on releasing to the public, i'm interested in trying out this approach instead of copying what other games tend to do

>>543775430nah, you're imagining things lmao
>>543772753Can a successful game be made in 3 months? Yes.Can (You) start now and have a game ready by the end of January? I doubt it. Now if you're not a total noob you could make a VS like in 3 months but it would be a struggle to have enough content and also have it be a quality game and have it look good. It needs to look good if you want it to sell. The art doesn't need to be high quality but it needs to have visual appeal. If you can't do that don't even bother. Incremental games are one option, easy to make and constantly get by with awful graphics. Just don't expect to make more than 1k from one.
>>543772753Probably a small horror game.First person, no combat, can use a bunch of assets, monster doesn't actually need to appear until the ooga booga jump scare moment, etc.You just need a good concept to rope people in.
>vampire survivors Like cats chasing a laser. Trend chasing is no bueno.
>>543774326One of the most interesting elements an incremental can have is when it has enough depth in the progression to have options. When you don't have enough resources to get everything but you can progress while making different choices than someone else would have. In my opinion a linear progression takes out all the enjoyment since you don't get to choose anything. The thought process is removed entirely. You just click click click click.
>>543777543>cats chasing a laser.good idea, thanks.

>>543773371Retarded nodev faggot, making pong doesn't mean ship a copy of an ancient game on steam. If you can't make pong today, you can't make a game in 3 months that will recoup your investment.You wouldn't have to come here and ask these retarded questions if you actually make pong.
>>543779363idc about what you're saying, my question was about making a profitable game and pong isn't
>>543779303>literally the most qualified to make a puzzle platformer about depression
>>543778036>>543778807It will be profitable and it's not a trend in the traditional sense videogames aren't like that. Like idle clickers and minecraft likes could have been considered a trend but they made money and continue to sell, nothing ever really goes out of style. But making a game because it has had a few hits in the subgenre lately is definitely trend chasing but oh well. I like to act like I'm above it and making MY DREAM GAME when really I am capitalizing on other trends.
>>543779440You won't do shit, pussy

>>543779303Same...
>>543778163I don't like it. Looks like the rival is just using the pill enemy physics instead of the player physics.
>>543778251>looked at the weapon selection screen and had your first thought be "Ugh, there's too many options. This game sucks!"Yes. A good example of this is how every MOBA eventually kills itself by adding too many characters to choose from that it becomes completely inaccessible to beginners, and thus aren't able to recruit fresh blood to replace the inevitable player churn. When you give the player a gameplay-impactful choice, they WILL feel like they need to do their due diligence to make an optimal choice, and it is not fun spending so much time reading and parsing through all of those choices.This is why roguelike choose-from-3 is so popular. It's a good balance between having a massive number of available choices but at the same time not overwhelming the player with every choice all at the same time. New players are only required to read and parse through 3 never-before-seen options at any given time.
>>543777553>The thought process is removed entirely. You just click click click click.I agree. My theory is that an appealing narrative to progress through can compensate for the lack of variety. It's essentially confirmed at this point that having variety in the upgrade options enhances the experience as the player becomes engaged in the process of comparing their options, but my personal goal is to see how deeply linear incrementation can be enjoyed if the context around the progression, the story of the game, is interesting enough.It's basically just a convoluted visual novel at this point, but I'm willing to take the risk. It will be good information.
>>543780921People don't play incremental games for a narrative.
>>543781036We'll see how malleable this genre is.

Anons, I think the generic list I'm creating in order to generate the object pool is getting deleted. Something to do with the scope? It creates the objects but the list becomes null later. Is there a way to make it persistent? I haven't figured it out fully but that's what I believe is happening.
>>543782485>crumbledev just got a google alert after over a year of nobody making videos about his game
>>543782068They think northernlion is a big deal for some reason.
>>543782518655 very positive reviews @ $15 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1061180/Crumble/
>>543782908>Something to do with the scope?No. Objects and Nodes are manually memory managed and requires that you call "free" or "queue_free" on them. Something is freeing them.Btw, you're still wasting your time making your program more complicated and less performant, retard.
>>543782485>give this game the proper love and respect it deserves>because yeah I'm quite fond of this game>hopefully through my gameplay, it will be highlighted to everyone watching>3 views

Why don't gun companies have copyright-free textures of their guns for games to use?

>>543783653Because it's not necessarily good for them to have their guns represented in games.
>>543783924>I'm not using godotThere multiple anons getting filtered by object pooling right now? There was one retard using Godot. What are you using?
>>543782068Do not *mention Crumbleyou mean
>>543783653why would they? you are not allowed to use their guns in your games
>>543782038>while Snipers Bald Locks faded into obscurity.>Broodwar snipers games were legitimately more funcan you explain to someone who has no idea what this is
>>543783939>metaposting about how you're totally not a schizoNot a single well adjusted person does this btw, you're anonymous people called you out alright but just move on.
>mention crumble>gore poster shows up immediatelyfrench bros, explain yourselves.
Guys I just wanted to know if that youtuber is an aggydagger or not what the fuck?
Eric poster is clearly based. Goreposter crying about him constantly is proof enough.

when the customer has the choice between 3 games for their favorite genre, but they can buy all 3 games instead of just 1 of 3, do the 3 games really compete?
>>543784832>buy all 3 games>plays none of them
>>543784491>>543784607>>543784723>>543784797Amateur gamedev? You all deserve death, trannies.

Crumble? Based.Eric poster? Based./v/3? Betz? Based.Nuff said.
>>543784832if there were only 3, then no, not really. that's a tiny market, room for everyone.
