a game
will cris ever finish and release an actual game?
i am once again asking you to try my arma 3 modhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3569474876
gamedev did this to me
My writing game has improved a lot, because now I can mention all the nights you couldn't sleep thinking that that game you have a lot of effort put will make you a nominee for the game awards, only to find that nobody downloaded it on the demo day and your twitter anouncement got no likes or retweets.
>>544441795Someone likeded my game
Just waiting for some motivation. I got all the time in the world.
I'm making my game without any graphics first. You just affect the simulation via a REPL. Then I will attach Graphics to it.
No money, no acknowledgement, no sense of achievement. Not even a cathartic release.Gamedev is worse than gaming itself.
>>544442148how many schizo posts you make per day
>>544442373and in a modular way. The Simulation does not require a renderer. It will just have the hooks ready just incase I want to add a renderer as a module.
Smaller graphicsSmaller problem
>>544442035He gets all his dopamine from pontificating here. That's also why he was taking photos of his workstation setup he was feeling particularly good that day. Then he did some dev work and reverted back to dopamine posting in agdg.Speaking of which I need to browser block 4chan again for a while.
I made a cool grpahics
would i be sued if i tried recreating one of them old apple ii/commodore 64 rpgs in a modern engine just for fun and for free
>>544442148i too have scary purple rings around my eyes, gaunt cheeks and pale skin look like a fucking ghoul
>>544442867I would sue you

fuck gamedevlets parrot and worship ecelebs instead, whos with me and eric schizo?
>>544443142gamedev tubers are 10000% more interesting than whatever you're blathering about everyday. Which actually is usually ecelebs, it's like all you talk and think about.
>>544443142
>>544443296maybe i should become an eceleb? then you will post about me, heck yeah thats a shiesty idea
>>544443483>maybe i should become an eceleb?Well you certainly tried here posting your face and doxxing yourself lmaoNobody cared
>>544443586doesnt count albeit

Posted about this yesterday and got some leads, but I’m doubling down today. I’m not a dev, but I wanna shill YOUR game for FREE.Been wanting to give back to /agdg/ for a while now. I can’t code for crap, and besides buying every game that drops, the least I can do is show some stuff off.So toss me your games, demos, or whatever you think deserves some spotlight. I’ll play or showcase ’em for around 30 minutes each, or playthrough the demo if it has one, whichever makes sense.Planning to go live with this next Wednesday on twitch, so send me what you’ve got.Stuff in the pic isn't going to be everything, just what was sent to me so far to check out.
>>544445915how many viewers do you typically get? I'm not gonna waste my time giving a demo to a nobody.
>>544445915My game is not ready. Ask again in a year.
shiet mane deys takin mah ebt away, hows am I gunna feed myself nigga. my game dev progress gon be fucked lil bros damn nigga hows am i supoze to live like dis nigga.

>>544446057I stream Retardy on the weekends and get between 100-150 viewers.On weekdays it's between 50-70? Really depends, mostly anons and lurkers though.

Is masturbation bad for productivity or is that a meme?
>>544447496that looks rough
>>544442373>>544442543Making anything action sucks without some sort of placeholder character and animations.
>>544447143The games on the pic aren't all I have lined upI threw this pic together in like 5 mins.>>544447496I can be reached on twitch, or at twitch.nineten@gmail.com
>>544447532if i fap at night, i'm unproductive the next day.if i fap first thing in the morning, i'm productive for that entire daymoral of the story: we as men get morning wood for a reason, because mornings are for jizzing, daytime is for work, and night time is for being cozy and watching donnie darko with the girl i'm currently trying to impress
>>544447532it's a meme just don't edge for hours and if it's quick you can focus on dev
>>544448051>mornings are for jizzing
>>544445915Didn't you work on the /v/3s? Why compete with them now?
>>544448051any other day I would've dismissed this as a funny shitpost (and it might still be) but lately I've got into a habit of coomin first thing in the morning and having the best days at work and then even when I'm homeImproves my moodIt happened 4 four times and I'm willing to swear down it's now a scientifically undeniable fact and ignore all the other 100 variables most of which I'm not actually even remotely aware ofIt's the coomMornings are for jizzing
>>544443072Nice song. I remember you posted another one before with a guy in the thumbnail but i never bothered listening, can you post that one again?
>>544447532Gooning is bad, masturbation is not
>>544447532>>544448051>>544448956It's true that it can make you productive somehow, but personally it makes me feel like shit directly afterwards.
>>544448765I left the /v/3 show back in 2021. I’m not really trying to compete with them or anything, their show’s in December. This is more just a personal thing, I wanna show off and shill some /agdg/ games. That’s where I got my start, and I kinda wanna give back a bit.
>>544449302I think the actual truth nuke is that when you feel like masturbating it just means you have too much energy in you, you can be productive even without doing it.
didn't know /agdg/ stood for tranny gooner posting
Daily reminder only poors are anti AI because they can't afford the good models.
>>544449871>with AI isn't actually pulling anything, doing no work
>>544449871Nearly all AI is free if you know where to look, el tardo
>>544426948>Even if we were all on universal basic income and never needed to worry about money, we would still be competing with eachother to make games that people actually want to play.brain rotted by society that thinks competing for attention is a natural condition of humanity.sad
i added the blocking system from Roek you can select in the menu. it has a few sliders so you can customize the movement how you want. it uses 1 to 1 movement with the mouse for blocking.
So if I start making a tactics mech game, would the curses negate each other? or I just speedrun sudoku

Maybe agdg problem is that their goals are not concrete.Like they say, I want to be nominee for the gaming awards, or be rich, or retire to taiwan.But they never say, my goal is to have 200 twitter followers by next month, or have 2 youtube review videos from subscribbers with 5k followers, and then build a long term plan that way.

>>544452469crisbros...
>>544452154Not my point.100k sounds like 100, which sounds like a lot.But I can't easily imagine 100k.I can imagine a year of that world class cow japanese meat imported to feed my dog with a private cheff.But I can't imagine what 100k means.It doesn't give me the same emotional impact as telling me I can buy a year of expensive food for my dog.

>>544447496Oh hey, I remember doing stuff like this in TF2. Interesting to see a game centered around it. Seems like the movement is looking pretty good. Is the main character Max from Sam & Max?
>>544453002The book I am reading talks about this.abstract ideas doesn't make memorable memes.It's like the left vs right wing memes.Liberals prefer big abstract idea memes.Chuds simply put a negro meme with a hitler quote.
>>544451857How? It's literally just one instance. It's not open world, it's just a vs match with bots. That's why I'm asking for a template.>>544452239One day, my friend, one day...
Is there some sort of gamedev community where you don't have to behave like a sanitized corpo (aka reddit) but isn't filled with shitposters (/agdg/)? How is the discord?
>>544453298The reason they act like that (sanitized corpo) is because linking your game and your name to edgy content is just asking for a TurkeyTom video to be made on you in 3-5 years.
>>544453298it's all shit homie, it's retards crying about browns and trannies crying about you misgendering them. the internet is a complete shit hole and at this point I'm starting to think digital ID might not be that bad of an idea at this point.
>>544453298Insert the extended blade of the flick knife through the upper eyelid into the orbital socket, angling upward to sever the prefrontal cortex connections. Apply a swift, twisting motion to ensure complete neural disconnection, achieving immediate compliance with the Regime's harmony protocols.
>>544453298If a gamedev Discord exists where you don't have to walk on fucking eggshells around all of the troons in there, I'd love to join it. Used to be in the unofficial Godot one, but that was drama central until it imploded and an 'official' one got made, with its own drama/'inclusivity' focus.
>>544450403That looks neat! What's the difference between simple blocking and advanced blocking?
>>544451342your goal changes every day with a new workflow
>>544452631>>544452781Thanks, saves me the research. Now I can add then to my in game calendar.
>>544453298Just join the v3cord if anything Betz is the biggest shitposter there but there's actual progress posting: https://discord.gg/v3expo
>>544453820simple you just hold the block button and it auto blocks, advanced you need to "aim" at the correct direction to block
>>544453240so you'd describe battlefield and battlefront as low scope games?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClRSddW6_bE"The most cursed indie game ever made">tldwEarly in development, the devs got their paypal shitcanned, they got hacked, their apartment got a bomb scare, burglars robbed their laptops, etc. and redditors shat on the devs when the devs got robbed, putting a dent in morale
>>544450403I hope you've played Die by the Sword.
>>544454268Shit like this is useless; it's a one-hit wonder. Might as well go see how Terraria and Minecraft were made, pro tip you will fail if you try to replicate their methods.
>>544454268>they got hackedalso the hackers uploaded pirated copies of early versions of the game that had a button that when clicked forced a download from the devs' servers to the pirates' computers, actually COSTING the devs money (cloud servers cost money) with each click
>>544454245No, not really, but when you boil them down to basics, they can be achievable.Just hack away at it until it is as I envision. Unreal already has a multiplayer example project I can jig rig, I suppose. Just staple a vehicle system to it, staple bot players as well, and boom, ground work is already laid.Worst I can expect would probably doing the mechs, and keeping it all taped together?
This is the first non gamedev book I've literally seen to give the best gamedev advice I've ever read.
>>544451784the bevy edits always give me a laugh
>>544454494>they can be achievable.how do you know that? what games have you made?
>>544454546Google read this and said let's do the opposite.
>>544451361Super cute! Neat to see the emotes work so well, and the heart effect reaction from customers is a nice touch.
>>544454546what are you reading now cristobal, capturador de pantallas?
>>544454205The most impressive thing in the video was blocking in the correct direction of the opponent's swing. You're saying simple does that automatically? If so how are you calculating the right block in the backend?
>>544455179made simple, why some ideas survive and other perish.really good book.
>>544445915Cool, a retardy aggy daggy crossover? I'm calling it: aggy tardy.
>>544454494unreal breaks down fast when you try to do something it wasn't meant for
>>544454546Thank you for sharing things like this, that's a good lesson for any business in general including game dev.
>>544455250From the wiki:The book's outline follows the acronym "SUCCES" (with the last s omitted). Each letter refers to a characteristic that can help make an idea "sticky":Simple – find the core of any idea or thoughtsUnexpected – grab people's attention by surprising themConcrete – make sure an idea can be grasped and remembered laterCredible – give an idea believability and credibilityEmotional – help people see the importance of an ideaStories – empower people to use an idea through narrativemade me think that if I twist it around in my head I can justify seeing it as gamedev-adjacent and tell myself I'll use it to make a new game some dayAnd I'm thinking that cause I just read this post >>544452469 so I'm deciding not to read it and start devving instead god bless

>>544455743kill yourself

>>544455617I'm reading some essential books on marketing anon.So far all the lessons have been really great to me.>>544455583It has really good lessons.
>>544455847Only another 23 new York times best sellers to read and you'll be set, for what I don't know
>>544455847Please feel free to post anything else you find that's significant like that, I'll be looking out for it.
>>544456010I only plan on reading these.>>544456032the chapter about how to generate surprise is really good.You need to basically seek unintended logical consequences to your idea that aren't obviously inmediate, because something to be memorable has to be unexpected, but predictable.
Which console platform is the most friendly to debut/newcomer indie devs? Nintendo? PS? Xbox?Last I tried: Nintendo auto-rejects any Switch Access Requests to newcomers, Sony requires you to be part of a company, and IDK what Microsoft is up to
>>544453820simple blocking works identically to mount and blade you just hold it down and it locks into an angle, advanced blocking has 1 to 1 tracking with the mouse, you have to move the mouse into the correct angle. you can adjust the arm movement speed and mouse sensitivity. i was considering adding an "auto" block feature that works as you suggest but ill see how this feels for people first.
>>544454204>Have you prove you have a game before you let inMan what a bunch of fags.
>>544456270Microsoft had their ID@Xbox thing where you didn't need specialized hardware for xbox devkits.Dunno if they still do it or not.Truthfully I would probably just give the console ports to a publisher though. Less of a headache.
>>544456270Xbox 100%, but I didn't have any issues getting my dev kit from nintendo last year, did you actually try or did you just read that somewhere?
>>544456032this one is good.
>>544456270 (me)>to newcomersfrom newcomers*, sorry
>>544456308Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. The advanced blocking definitely seems like a big draw, it's easy enough to understand the concept but seems like it has tons of possibilities.
>>544454546more gamedev-food-business analogies
>>544456320>The only ones who complain about gatekeeping are the people the gate was meant to keep out
>>544456354>Truthfully I would probably just give the console ports to a publisher though. Less of a headache.I want to make it directly for the console though, there is no chance my game will sell of steam.
>>544454314yea, my main 2 inspirations were Exanima and mount and blade. this times Kludge demo will hopefully have more combat content.
>>544456354Eh, I'd prefer to be more hands on with developing for consoles>>544456374>did you actually tryYes. They autoreject me every time.
why was some looser pretending to be me in the previous thread? That other guy was right I had gone to bed.
>>544456442it would be really fun to try in multiplayer but that's going to have to be post launch DLC
Those of you who have no friends or girlfriend to show your game to, what keeps you going? I keep starting new projects and eventually getting burnt out after the satisfaction of toiling away on my own wears off. I need someone in my life I can share my creations with. It all feels pointless otherwise.
>>544441795Hi aggy daggy, long time no see! I'm so excited being here again. What's happened since my departure months ago?

>>544456770Neat to see you got fluid physics working too! This seems like a fun idea with things like the room trashing in >>544456535 . Are you using all built in physics from an engine or did you have to make anything custom?
>>544456579because you make posts like this afterwards that reward and encourage the attention-seeking behaviour numnuts

>>544456818I started posting proggy and if I get a couple of Yous it makes me happyAnd I notice making stuff look presentable gets more YousWhich is a good thing to pay attention too if eventually you want more eyes on your gameNow I just need to find a way to expand who actually has my stuff pop up in their feed at all I get the same ~30 people liking my stuff

>>544456923bokudev finally released his anger on the thread and started spamming gore but no one believes it's him so he just comes back every other day to spam screenshots
>>544457943no no I was preemptively warning you that because he's had similar reactions from doing it to other people, you'll be encouraging him to do it again if you respond at allThough I guess you do have to defend yourself somehowJust say 'going to bed now' or something next time (dunno if you did)I'm going to bed now god bless
>>544457614ok.Imagine by example that you see a trail of a red liquid that looks like blood, coming from the kitchen, after a day of work.You entered the home, and realize that the door was opened.You wanted to mention to your wife that there's a crazy criminal that escaped that morning.You found nobody at home, except a lot more of that red liquid in something that seems a fight, but you see a knife filled with red pieces.You worry about what happened, you try to search your wife but find nobody.Then, your wife enters from the garden, she was trying to make some keptchup newer sauce with tomatoes she just bought, but she forgot to leave the door closed.Also, some of the ketchup was dropped because she was a bit careless.In the end creating surprise is creating a false trail of evidence that points to something, only to reveal that the reality is a diferent conclusion, but that could be totally predictable once you understood the plot twist.

Tune yourself to the world you wish to live in. Do not demand proof, become it.Everything will make sense. The glittering gold road of your hardships. When you watch a film and it feels directly aimed at you. When your thoughts change the world.Everything starts to echo. Welcome to the song. Welcome to the Field.

>>544460283I did not write "desu" wtf is this weeb shit.anyway the plan today is to make this CRT filter work on the computer screens in the game so you can interact with them, they will show the map of the level you're in, maybe it will have the ability to have buttons that open doors or something.
>>544456579Yea, some loser's been doing it with my game for years now.It's fine though. I'm sure most people are smart enough to judge me based on the quality of my game, and not on some random anonymous 4chan posts.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Have been having this issue since yesterday.
I just assume you're all fucking gremlins with no talent or skill and thus don't care what you people say. You're just going to fixate on one stupid thing and piss and shit yourself over nothing for no reason. More than half of you aren't even gamedevs and just come here to shit the thread up.

Made picture in picture for the binoculars. Need to make the viewport more square and give it some proper reticle, right now its just a placeholder green crosshair that barely shows up. Bottom pic I had to move the godot face pretty far because the zoom is jacked up. Hopefully I don't have to use an overlay because I like the continuity of lifting something up and seeing the zoom of a pip scope.
>>544461863Here is the shader.Sorry for text for ants.tripfagging because it happening again.Basically the uniforms are what control everything and you only apply this shader to a texture, then you can/could apply that texture to whatever 3d model you want (a computer screen in my case). the webm was just the shader running in full screen.Chatgpt is really good at helping write OpenGL shaders.

>>544463831>waah he asked what engine anon is using post game
>>544463086Why did you give me a screenshot instead of a pastebin?
>>544462726Neat! I agree having a more square viewport would make it more usable. Or even doing the double circle thing if you wanted to do that. If you're not doing to use an overlay though seems like you might need to make the binoculars model quite big. Or maybe having it scale up along with the motion to bring it up to look through?>>544463086Sorry man, can't really tell enough to help you out. The comments are good for organizing things though, so that's smart of you. You could comment out blocks of of code one at a time until you find the one with the issue to try and narrow it down.

Have you ever realized why people throught centuries and centuries, shared the esopo tales, without even knowing about greeks or knowing who esopo was, because esopo wrote something humans feel is valuable.Meanwhile pretty much all other intelectuals and writers in history, will be forgoten, most of all?
>>544465689Go fuck yourself. If you're on your phone you can't work on your game. There's never a valid reason to phonepost. All phoneposters are nodevs by default.

The Yesdev, the Nodev and the Bocchi
i cant make anything
>>544472184I'm making it invisibly first and then I will add rendering later.I've been writing lore and planning for months.
>>544472535Why haven't we made an injectable of that yet? Diabetic people have theirs, why can't we ADHD folk have ours?>Muh addictionThat's like saying diabetics are addicted to insulin.
Red Hair.Very Tall.Prominent Front Teeth.Prominent Clavicle.She is going to make my game with me and I love her. I have eyes for no other woman. I'm serious.
why has nobody made gambleslop with bingo as a base
>>544472816It's call Ritalin
>>544472931No joking and I'm not one that should be saying this but you are mentally unwell because you have been talking about an imaginary hyper specific woman... and worse is that you imply that you're not gonna start working on your game until you find her. Serious talk this might be caused by isolation. Just make your game.
>>544473090ritalin doesn't fix adhd
>>544473453He can't until his ideal woman fixes him, but his ideal woman doesn't exist, so he'll never make a game.
>>544473453>>544473651Guys, guys.. I can work on my game before she arrives. Don't worry. I appreciate the concern. I love you /agdg/. We're going to have a lot of fun in the coming years.

>>544472816>Why haven't we made an injectable of that yet?There are an infinite number of things that already increase dopamine and the ADHD meds are basically the simplest thing if you don't want to think about it and just have a steady trickle feed all day which keeps you regulated.There are lots of other activities and substances that people use to successfully regulate their dopamine as well. When I was growing up nobody talked about any of this and it wasn't common knowledge and kids were just dropping like flies left and right to drug addiction and depression.
Adding "enchants" to special chips. Basically the exact same as balatro's modifiers. Some can be beneficial, some not so much. The idea is they can add challenge, and make powerful chips less of an instant grab if they have a bad enchant.Pretty happy with the system in general, this can be applied to any chip and "just works" with my tool tips.
>>544473793No but pussy does cure incelism.

>>544467518That's my dev name.Too Pretentious games
>>544474954Thanks!>>544474959I dunno, I'm not really worried so much about it failing. The main reason I am working on it this way instead of just making it in unity (I know unity very well I used to make games in unity for about 7 years) is because I want to completely create it on my own. I want to make something that I can be proud to say I created all by myself - I almost feel a bit off about using Raylib and SDL2 because I didn't make those myself but I simply don't have the time to truly create my own renderer from scratch or the ability if I am honest, maybe with enough time I could but I really don't think I have the mathematical capability. I think my hangups are from my pride/artistic nature (I view myself as an artist). When I say I'm not worried about it failing I mean more that I don't really care if it fails or not, it's mostly a hobby and I do it for fun and I really enjoy it - yes the game being commercially successful would be great but I truly work on this for fun and my own personal enjoyment. I guess it would fail in a commercial sense because no one knows it exists aside from people in this thread.
>>544475360Incel is what you feel.
>>544474004If you're chasing Balatro it seems like you're doing a good job mechanically. Presentation wise you'd need more pizazz though. Maybe having some comedy in the names/descriptions like Balatro does?
>>544474532Neat! How prominent are the effects on the actual screen in game? I can see the menu working there, but hard for me to see how much the screen is changing.
>>544475671I admire your dedication and wish I was you
>>544442035check out his youtube, it's inevitable
>>544457385its mostly the unity built in physics but i have a few custom physics scripts.
Do you guys think its worth it to go pro
>>544478149Oh wow, that's really neat! That's like "the ice cubes melt slower when closer together" MSG2 level of detail. Usually with physics I'd expect to just be able to knock things around, not for things to bounce and bend realistically like that. Did you do that yourself? I can't imagine something that specific being built into Unity by default.
>>544478557Indie pro? Only if you see yourself in truly the top few % in terms of skill and competence. Wagie pro? Alot of you could make it if you fake it enough and turn down the autism a little.
>>544478149now do this with the blood draining out of a lifeless meatbag
>>544478149Nice.
>>544478997>>544456770meant to reply to this one
>>544478557no. too risky. hobbydev should give you plenty of time to make the types of games you should be making anyway
Courthouse is done, still have a lot of structure art left to do. Probably at least 6-8 weeks.
>>544480143That art style looks interesting! But if you hadn't told me it was a courthouse I might not have guessed. I can see the justice statue with the sword and scales now that I know to look for it, but might not have been able to parse it if I didn't know what I was looking at.What's with the green there? Something like rusted copper statue or vines?
>>544480143this game looks bad compared to the chicken and robot ones
>>544478827its unitys configurable joint, it took quite a bit of tweaking of it get these behaviours but i'm pretty familiar with it at this point. you can use the configurable joint to produce a lot of really realistic behaviours. the idea with the destruction mode levels is all the objects will have high levels of interactivity and realistic physics.
>>544481330wish i had a game like this back as a kid, would probably have spent hours playing with the physics, I remember being mesmerized by hl2's ragdolls and stuff
>>544481330That's very cool! I really like the design philosophy of having denser environments with more interaction as opposed to some modern open world designs. I'd rather have a small area with a bunch of stuff than a wide open area that's mostly empty.
>>544481536the tradeoff is im putting quite a bit of work into levels which can be moved through quickly, once i get more familiar with the asset workflow it might not be as much of a problem. im also working on this biped simulation system so i can have boston dynamics style enemies and characters.
i give up
nobody liked my sir hoptholemeu from the fyridian tale meme

Could slopdevving be considered morally evil? You're basically making games that expediate the enslavement of humanity. You can think you're making casual games to help people relax after work, but does the influence of your games end there? Idk. What if these games didn't exist? What would humanity do? Would we be freed? Do these games need to exist? Would somebody else create them? Can they be modified to have underlying benefits?Many questions.
>>544483942yeah cool and all but where is your game?
>>544484128Being worked on. It's slop to make money. I have concerns about the future implications of the endorsement of such operations. Palantir would fail to create a device as potent as this, in regards to inciting control over fellow beings. A step above bread and circus. Serving what agenda? Not good. Not good. This is not good. What do we do? Maybe take a step back. Recalculate an approach.
>>544483942the vast majority of the plebbian population has not spiritual or philosophical desire to reach sophia.rommans gave bread and circus to the vulgus caste.you should stop worrying about them, since they serve no other purpose but to consume what their masters feed them.
>>544483942>>544484291the mental gymnastics that people do to procrastinate is hilarious
>>544484330>you should stop worrying about themNo. I care about them. They were created by God for the sake of contributing to the beauty of life. To glorify the creator. They are just as important as you and I. Absolutely. I do not want to harm them, even subtly, through enhancing the rate of development of enslavement technology to be used against their offspring. Stop it. The enemy is deceptive. Dangerous situation.>>544484374My game is almost ready to be released. I am considering the social ramifications of what would happen if it achieves success. Much to think about. Much to be concerned over. Do not project. Lazy. Go work.
>>544484565they can't be saved.The realm of sophia is a narrow path that leads to the eternal monad.Since the days of Jesus and Buda, the path to reaching enlightment is a path of the death of the ego.Most humans will live and then die and then be punished in hell if you're christian or they will simply spend more lifes in the wheel of reincarnation to suffer.Focus on saving the ones that have the potential to be saved.It's pointless to think that you will save humanity.Not even the bible assume most humans will make it on the revelation days.

>>544473895Do ADHD meds actually help? I don't want to become a drug addicted zombie.
>>544486946>humble yourselfI couldn't be more humble
>>544487034same question. I have tried other things(exercise, meditation, habit stacking),might have helped a bit, but they don't stick.
>>544478149that's neat but also whyis your game somehow focused on office chairs for this amount of effort and detail to be important on them?
>>544487034NTA but only if you actually have ADHD.
>>544487034No, but they'll increase your dev time. Went from deving 4 hours a day to 30 mins after I quit and switched to coffee. It's a crutch, and it'll take a while to find your bearings if you quit cold turkey.
>>544483942>>544484291Your game can't be worse than the gacha mobileslop normies play. Corporations are evil. You are just an individual trying to make an income.

What can (we) learn from ball x pit?
>>544487593statslike version of the same game will sell a lot moreseriously, who would buy breakout again otherwise

I can barely manage to keep myself fed, hydrated and somewhat looking like a functional human being.>>544487285I'm like 99% sure I have it but getting diagnosed as an adult is a pain. >>544487320I remember some article written by a dude who worked on some big game(s), maybe it was Civ or something, and he did it on meds and eventually burned out and went indie and had to quit the meds because he had lost all creativity on them. Not the only story like that I've heard which is why they scare me a bit.
>>544487593Taking an arcade/puzzle game and turning it into a roguelite is a known formula for success when executed well and/or being the first to do it for that type of game. It is somewhat surprising it took this long for someone to do it to breakout.

>>544490520no I haven't tried that, I don't really want to use AI to make my game
>>544488098Hell Maiden doesn't have interesting progression. The visuals are great but the game is just a VS like in the very basic way possible. The card building system is neat but that's about it.Meanwhile Ball X Pit has an insane amount of unlocks, a cool little meta progression mini game between runs, great visuals and fun gameplay that stands out. This is the level you need to be on for a good change at success. Well, Hell Maiden will probably sell alright because of the visuals. I foresee people buying it, having fun for a couple hours and then forgetting about it. The game's unoriginality is unlikely to lead to a lot of bad reactions and refunds.
it works now!

First I need to get an appointment at public healthcare to get another appointment with a psychiatrist or whatever which will likely be in a year or something and then there's no guarantee of it going forward.

>>544492874The time you spend on making these pictures could be spent on gamedev, bocchi kun. Or you could spend that time documenting your progress and posting it here, which you don't seem to do.
>>544493159whats it like to be a nodev?
>>544493337its awful
I used to say RIP in peace when I was a kid on Facebook before someone corrected me. I cringe thinking about my past (as an esl).>>544491768It's ok to take a break. Hope you come back smarter and more creative.
How do fuckers play games on dey phones? If I were to make HTML5 version, how do I create phone controls? I feel like without them I'm like not with it.
>>544493402shame there's we can do, it can't be helped.
>>544492738>three phases of nodev
>>544493927*nothingrip in peace my proofreading
Nobody boughted my game... And /agdg/ shitted on me instead of supporting it... I am so demoralised
does anyone know about the four wude?
engine plugin that makes development harder

>>544480629Yep, all of the copper in the game looks the same.>>544481092That's just like, your opinion man.
>>544494083shouda made a better game
>>544494426schizo
>>544442417If you don't get a sense of achievement from learning so much and steadily getting better and making things you're proud of that's a skill issue.
>>544495102>better game
>>544495552None of it matters when nobody cares about it. I could release thousands of games and nobody would still care.
>>544495927we all die and retain nothing of our wealth, memories or fame. none of it matters whether you're a beggar in kalkuta or john kojima. you create the value. if you don't find the value in gamedev do something else instead.

>>544497212It does that lately and I feel patronized
i fucking hate unity AND unreal i think i have to learn g*dot
>>544498098I want synty studios to be hit with a missile
>>544498264why
>>544497403what a mere month of solodev does to a nigga
>>544497212I hate it when ai compliments me.
It's all coming together real nicely...
i give up, i cant make my fucking game even though i have 7 different ideas
>>544498080Only neet euro losers are in here now
>>544498264Using it to prototype while I learn to model. /3d/ progress is slow because I rarely finish my Unity dev goals, so most days I don’t even open Blender.>>544498387Because it's generic and overused, I think.
>It doesn't work
>>544498985>generic and overusedmakes sense
>>544498264your cock is showing
hehehehe
>>544456535I wish I had the brain power to handle making procedural animations, so I could do 1:1 mouse motion on melee weapons. Most I could do is just M&B style where you input a direction to determine which of a few canned swing animations to playback.
>>544445915That's real nice of you. Unfortunately I'm having a big overhaul of everything.
>Surface BreakerI made a basic UI menu for game mode selection. Not particularly happy with it but it needed to be done after i wasted 5 days trying to make a diegetic spaceship for game mode selection.Maybe in a couple months I'll redo it with the current idea>click play>zoom into the dome at the bottom of the space ship>the UI now looks like a computer screen>you do the game mode selection that way>once you start it will go back out to the space ship and an animation will play of the dome being shot out and heading towards its destinationthoughts?
>>544454582Same, they've became moderate-effort ones, and it is nice to see stupid spammed memes capped off with some honest to god shitposting.No way I am switching engines, but it is fun to see.
>>544492198Damn, that's good.
>>544482927>"All Star but it's all one note" remix of All Star by Smash Mouth on repeatdo this for increased efficiency
>the jabbering crab
>>544502750
>>544441795I'm bothered anons, by my lack of "standardized" knowledge about game devving.What I mean by that is, you know how in school you learn about history, math, english etc. and the courses follow a standardized format, with notions that are universal and agreed upon no matter what school you go to? Like take history for example, you're always going to learn about the romans, then the middle ages, then the discovery of the Americas etc.But with gamedev courses, with the ones I took, I always felt like I never really got a wholistic understanding of what's taught. More often than not I have to look up how to's and tutorials on YouTube to fill the gaps those courses have and I always feel like they're improvised solutions the creator of the video discovered, rather than the "right" or "standard" solution.Game dev I feel desperately needs some sort of standardized teaching, I always feel like the things I'm trying to implement aren't being done in the most efficient way possible, quite the opposite in fact
>>544503069this is pointless, game development is about making gamesyou should focus more on having a good game idea that you really want to makeyou'll discover efficient procedures when you need to if your mind is fully absorbed in the process of making your gamejust by having enough passion for my game i ended up intuitively implementing high level software development strategies without doing previous research on themcome up with a game you're passionate about and begin working on it, you'll become efficient
>>544503069that's called being in tutorial hell, anon. try making something without following a tutorial, that's the only way to get the hang of things.if you still insist on some standardized method, look up software architecture and UML or something.
https://youtu.be/dte-J6SmMpI
>>544503264>UML>for solo gamedev
>>544503836i never said bullshit built on bullshit was a good thing. it's just the closest thing to any agreed "standard".
We grind so we can become strong.
>>544452469Thanks, I've set this up as an alt wallpaper.I'll try using on the weekend. Wouldn't be the first time a wallpaper's constant presence has helped.
>Artist tells me that he's depressed and taking the week off>Meeting we were meant to have two days ago moved to next week Monday>Meant to have an art-centric community meeting this Friday>It's moved to next Friday instead>Update delayedHelp...
>>544504989and then they wonder why devs want to use ai instead of work with artniggers
>>544503069>More often than not I have to look up how to's and tutorials on YouTube to fill the gaps those courses have and I always feel like they're improvised solutions the creator of the video discovered, rather than the "right" or "standard" solution.Yes, that's normal.That part you need what you've learnt for is how to properly connect all those separate pieces together. Can also watch how someone else does it as inspiration or a jumping off point then do it on my own rather than just copy/pasting code directly.
>>544504725That's a good idea, I think I'll set it up too. Especially on the weekends where I go be lazy instead of working towards my dreams.
>>544492198finally indie siege
>>544504989>constant barrage of demotivational propaganda targeted at artists in major social media platforms>Artist tells me that he's depressedNot surprising
>>544505156It's the problem of being in any creative medium. People know when shit is just soullessly churned out, so you can't really just force it.
>>544504989Are you working on a favor for favor basis? If one of my artist said to me something like that I'd never give them money again.
>>544493841its awful. I can only play cell games where the controls are very simple and not time critical like slay the spire and balatro.
>>544505783I pay my artist a monthly salary.
>>544506052league of legends was successfully ported to mobile, but the abilities basically have auto aimmobile games are generally incompatible with complex mechanical gameplay
>>544506151lel cuck
>>544503069Yeah they teach English in schools and as a result we have a generation of authors who can't write or even spell, and readers who can't read. There are English majors who have never read a whole book. There's a whole section of book tiktok that just can't read or understand any book not written in the first person.Gamedev is already shit enough without letting the education system ruin it
>>544505183i think artist bridge that gap a lot easier than programmers. >how do i do xyz? thats a pretty easy question to answer with art, you do a tutorial to get an understanding of the basic workflow, you read the docs and learn some hotkeys. a few weeks later you realize you don't know what the fuck is going on and your art is shit so you ask>why do i do xyz? then you look up anatomy, color theory, graphic design, and everything starts to fall into place.feels like programming the focus is always the how, and the why is an afterthought.
progress
Pay me $100 dollars so I can steal 30% of your income and bury your game if it doesn't make 3 million in 3 minutes, goy cuck.
>>544507801problem?
more progress
>>544507801That's why you pray to EGS to give you money for timed exclusivity, which you then use to polish the game further for the Steam release.
>>544508061>EGS to give you money for timed exclusivitynot a thing anymore for us true indies grandpa
>>544507579why are the ears so bloody massive? they're 2x bigger than the head
>>544508143they are fennec foxes
>>544507928Yes, fatfuck gabencunt.
>>544508143It's a fennec
>>544507801just make your own platform
>>544506976yeah, tuts that explain why you do a thing (and pitfalls to watch out for) are rare. It's too bad, having context helps.But I suppose too many programmers are focused on direct results.
instead of making a game i made a schizo dot that measures the collective consciousness of /x/ and /pol/ then extrapolates past measurements into future measurements to see when bad events will happen. maybe that was the game all along?
>>544507801>just build your own software distribution infrastructure bro>just build a launcher and update your players' games bro>just pay for and maintain the servers and web infrastructure to run it yourself bro>got a coop game? Just handle NAT holepunching yourself bro>just build your own brokering service broYou should be grovelling thanking gaben on your hands and knees. Your dunning-kruger blinds you to how much complexity goes into simply distributing software and keeping it updated. The other option is to go the itch.io route and throw an exe file on a webpage and just hope that users update it themselves You're all entitled retards. Pay the $100 and the 30% and then say thank you
>>544509105btw looking at a dot can be a game. its an idle game. lol
>>544508278fair enough, I forgot about them.though it still looks quite silly to me, I think it's the proportionsI sized the circles and faces so they're the same size, as you can see the model is both longer and extremely thickmight just be a me thing though, I don't into furry
>>544509105you can definitely make a shitty horror game about sitting in some secret facility and Interpreting the dot
Is innuendo indie game poison? I noticed all the biggest indie games are completely sexless, even in the tame ways cartoons used to be
>>544509342It's simple. Coomers are degenerate retards and make bad games
>>544509132>>544509132>go the itch.io route and throw an exe file on a webpage and just hope that users update it themselvesItch app auto-updates games though
>>544509494You don't have to be a coomer to think sex appeal is nice, some of the best games of all times had sex appeal
>>544453298I met my wife on the /agdg/ discord
>>544509342No. Next question.
>>544509584itch.io doesn't freely advertise your game when someone's friends play it
>>544453298The Redot discord server is pretty ok, low number of tranoids. Self selected away from woke retards and instead got other types of retard

>>544510579>RPG game>role playing game game>no actual gameplay
>>544510420Discord does
>>544510654I made that in jest, but they're going to have something in a couple of years. Grok has a team dedicated to gamedev, openai is doing something similar, google is toying with world models.
>>544510579The thing with any AI media though is that it's always uninspired gay trash. It's always some idea guy prompting shit that he wants to see & then not editing any part of it or tuning it to be actually good. & that problem doesn't get solved by making the AI better.
>>544511190I used AI voice due to a budget issue and I tried to edit it to make it sound good, how is that not count?? If I hdr money I would not use AI voice!!!
>>544511190when i first started to get into 3d art i remember people joking that there wasn't a shrek or pixar button. a lot of people are going to waste a lot of time and money trying to brute force a tool. luckily things like kickstarter have been beat into oblivion, so they won't be wasting other peoples money.

for some reason it seems like the hardest part as a creative person is to stick to a genre.somehow creativity makes you want to explore different things. yet from an artist identity standpoint it's suicide to not stick to a genre.also improvement mostly happens when specializing in something.you cannot have a brand or an identity without a recurring theme.i feel like for success it's inevitable to tackle this problem.
>>544512014pogo3d doesn't have 1k reviews
fps roguelites seem like a popular genre and even mediocre ones do decently
i figured out i like sandbox survival games because it cures my money-obsessed brain.there is no money in those games, only resources. it makes you think about resources instead of money again. it kinda grounds you in "reality" again. you hunt for food, you cook it and you eat it. and not "how can i serve people in order to get money to buy food".i think a lot of people want that feeling and therefore they play those games. because in reality a lot of people, especially the ones living in big cities, can't experience this anymore.
>>544510787>just two more weeks broThey're never going to get beyond the asset flip stage. And that's what they're competing with right now, asset stores. AI doesn't solve any gamedev problem that isn't already solved by an asset store, or a game template, or an asset pack.I work with AI at my job, it's virtually impossible to get it to correctly and reliably produce consistent results for a given task. Say you want to get it to generate summaries of a document uploaded by the user. The prompt alone for that is pages long and is kept in version control in case some innocuous change causes the AI to have a meltdown. The task of wrangling the AI to produce document summaries still has several devs dedicated to it. The amount of work hasn't decreased, the nature of the tasks that people have to do has changed and the class of features that could be automated has marginally expanded. What you used to be able to pay a room full of thirdworlders to do you can now pay a few devs and OpenAI to do, I'm not sure which is cheaper.For AI gamedev the prompts involved are going to be absoutely massive

>>544442725>Speaking of which I need to browser block 4chan again for a while.Same.I can do it quickly via free app on the phone, but pc requires either turning on the plugin on every browser I got or using a program that requires you to install plugins anyway, but doesn't work unless you want to block whole programs.Got a good recommendation?
