There really is no reason not make your characters sexually attractive if your goal is to succeed. If you refuse to do so your game has to be both REALLY good and REALLY lucky.

I wanted to warn about a scam going on the v3expo discord some moderator is pming users and offering to give away 1 year of claude code and comet browser to make gamedev easier. They then give you invite link to comet browser which gets them 3 dollars and then they tell you to login with your gmail account, they tell you to login on mobile first to sync your mobile data like gmail, contacts, etc to it. Then this google account will be connected across multiple devices and they will steal your your data.I tried telling the owner of the discord but he blocked my private messages.

>>545114585Sold.
On the main large gamedev discords you can find easily, there are fiending psychos who are double dosed on adderal and schizo attacking randoms constantly, they drown you out by simply hitting enter after every few words they type and nobody does anything about them. You can sit and watch them basically drive away one hopeful naive gamedev after another and starting countless pointless arguments. Here at the very least this kind of behavior can be slowed to one post at a time. Nodevs here are pathetic, but nodevs on discord are fucking demons.

You do know that changes to discoverability are not going to be retroactive, right? Fatfuck gabencunt isn't gonna help those Indies already released.Also the calendar already requires that you have enough wishlists to appear in it already. So it's a pointless duplicate of "popular upcoming".
>Surface BreakerIn the process of creating new icons for each upgrade
lets say i’m making a metroidvania (wow so original !!!!) with basic 2d physics in unity. should i be just coding all that shit on a separate game thread than unity’s main thread, since unity physics and collisions are going to be way over the top for my purposes? or is it just programmatically faster to use the unity engine even if it has 40 billion shits i dont need. i know for hollow knight that they wrote their own shit and just used unity to render, which is kinda what I was thinking too but idk if im a fuckin retard or what
progress
>>545118389>you know things are never going to get better or improved right everything is bad and getting worse right you know this rightOh well. I like to make bideo game.
>>545118635I don't want to come off as a doomer. I'm just trying to make you aware that fatfuck gabencunt doesn't have the interest of devs at hand. You CAN fix this, but you need to cooperate and coordinate to make Valve actually do something to fix it.One easy way is to actually make browsing Steam not a fucking pain in the ass and searching games easy.
>>545118540It's 2026 I don't think you should worry about engine bloat too much. Everyone has gigs of memory to spare.

>>545119865>Japanese developers are experts at creating games with great aesthetics.True but uh, pic unrelated right?
>>545115492Oh hey, that was me. I looked at 1000 indie games with over 1000 reviews after 2020, and under 20 dollar price tag and sorted them by the release date's month.However according to my stats, November and February were the 2 best months for indie games to be released (together they made up for 25% of all yearly successes) while December was the worst, with only 3%. While in that pic it seems like November is a lot weaker.But then again that pic mentions "25000 wishlists at launch" while games like Vampire Survivors or Pseudoregalia (which my stats counted) didn't actually have many wishlists at launch and went viral afterwards.

>>545126317Well Steam has a bot estimate and I didn't count those.

>>545127493I'm sure Timmy would care what with being Steam's main competitor. He'd be telling everybody that Steam is lying about page views.As for Twitter, "everybody knows" is not the same as evidence. They'd be exposing themselves to massive lawsuits if they were caught, so I don't think they'd risk it.

Uhm, so it seems like you want to use threads to process data, but not interact with separate parts of the game.you set some things to only run on threads. I think. for anything visual that exists in the scene tree you can't use threads to process it.it can be done via servers but servers seem like a headache you want to avoid if you can. you have to custom rotate with matrices for example. no handy functions.
Everyone in this thread should address each other as sir, from now on. You should be assuming the other person is a gentleman.

>>545132475Shit, I’ll do $30 and 5%. Keep working.
Animators and illustrators get paid more because the works sucks, but they are working under the direction of an artist, so they don’t get shit on the back end.

>>545132781its too late, by the time ive made one the craze will be over or my exact game but made 100 times better will be made by someone else
Make lots of games.
This is the game dev thread, not I’m gonna get rich off the hype train thread. I think you guys should split off from /vg/, head on over the /biz/ and leave this thread to the actual devs.
>>545133273That would be nice.
Game development is skeet shooting, you have to be accurate, but it helps if you are using a shotgun.
>>545133371this applies more to marketing
If you’re not talking about your personal development framework and your build deployment scripts, you’re not gonna fucking make it, kid.
How are deploying your builds to various targets to send out to your beta testers? Are testing both on Android and iOS mobile browsers with debug symbols enabled? The games that sell are the ones that work. This shit is hard.
i give up,
It’s funny how even through a screen, I know you all are the kids who didn’t pay attention in class or read any of the books.
>>545133746who who who who not me no way no no no way who who who who hahaha
If you want to make quality games quickly, you need to work directly with and have access to the developer of the engine. Exactly like a race team.
>>545133746That's correct, yet I somehow managed to get by without failing anywayExcept for math that was the only thing I had to study
>Gaben still allows this bullshit https://steamdb.info/app/3078390/charts/
>>545133478>frameworkIt would probably be wiser to switch over to an engine while I'm not too invested into raylib yet for someone like me who is already way too old for gamedev (30+). I need to save every second at this point. On the other hand using a low level library creates a natural scope barrier.
Why is there no /agdg/ engine on github with a bunch of furries trying to ban us?
>>545133897I’m doing raylib too, in C, what language are you using? I turn 40 next year. I’ve been writing other people’s code for too long.
>>545133845The economy for that game is more stable than CSGO
>>545128720they got shown to be bitchmade when threatened by payment processors.
>>545133928>no, you can’t use that commit!>he’s the nazi cat poster on /x/!
The CIA and the furries can’t stop me, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll open a GitHub with my engine after we have tested it thoroughly with my first release.
>You're overthinking it. Learn to program like a jeet.i hate that this is good advice
>>545134343It is historically, in regards to game dev. Now at least you can have AI document and fix your spaghetti code before posting it on GitHub.
If you are a senior dev, AI is a miracle, if you are a junior dev, it is a competitor.
>>545134504i'm a nodev can't even program but i already made a mod for a game i like to be the game i wanted it to be
The only way to prove yourself now, is shipping shit. Senior devs will call you out on your slop. You are now beholden to the Illuminati C programmers are of World, and our leader Linus Torvalds. The empire of Gabe Newell has fallen!
>>545134504For now. I could never get any coding job so for me AI is a net bonus. They can't hire me any less than they have already.
Does your game have steam achievements?Can you save it? I remember that tongue swinging game and i couldnt save the game after i turn it off.
>>545134652That’s a start, get it looking good and find a dev. The logistics is the hard part.
>>545134018I'm using C too. It feels zen not to have to think about the language itself at all when writing it when compared to juggernauts like Java or C# although some features typically associated with that type of OOP would certainly feel convenient for gamedev.
>>545134715I haven’t looked in awhile, I’m tired shipping other people’s slop and I have residual income.>fuck you guys>I’ll go ship my own sloppy code elsewhere
>>545134504>>545134761>>545134663all of this is made with AIhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3569474876https://pastebin.com/MMGHsPv7
>>545134809Structs are enough for me to get started without objects, I haven’t fully decided on how to go about scripting yet. Everything screams just use LUA, but I kind of want to write a custom BASIC interpreter.
>>545133897>natural scope barriermanaging scope creep is way easier than fumbling around with an obscure framework while trying to make a game which is hard enough as it is.
>>545131992performance was fine but i couldnt find 3840x2160 in the resolution options.You might want to add a restart from checkpoint button.I died to the second enemy, respawned in one of those white tubes, and then clipped right though the door at the end and fell into space and now im stuck out here on an invisible wall.This game is pretty cool though
Just hired a new UI artist for Jargon. Gonna replace the basic panels and buttons with more stylized UI. We're thinking of doing a paper style that would go with the rest of the game's art. It's not gonna be ready in time for demo day unfortunately, but it should be ready by the end of the month.
>>545135060Raylib is just a shim over OpenGL and BSD licensed. The AI does quick work of it if you know what you are doing and modifications. I will definitely be compensating the author if I profit off it, as I know many others do. Programmers are cool like that.
I'm trying to learn Unreal but the fact the UI is like a fucking FPS level-builder instead of what you'd expect from professional 3D software is throwing me off way more than expected

>>545135147kill yourself
i want to make a turn based rpg but i cant think of a theme
>>545135556He’s got lots donors, with lots of funny icons actually. I think raylibdev might work for the CIA
Raylib renders like shit go away gtard
>>545135736Tanks with and infadrones for enemies! Get upgrade your electronic and drone defense tech tree!
>>545135736Jews vs caanites
>>545135794That’s literally the point, it’s a shim on OpenGL that gets you going, and it’s ugly. If you want it to look different and good, you modify the base code. It’s like a coloring book for smart people.
>>545135840i dont want to make a game about real life war stuff>>545135918hilarious...
>>545135937Yeah, neither do I. That’s why I give those ones away. How about a turn based modern take on Earthbound, stay with me, but directly addressing that Earthbound was a Japanese persons take of a young man living in with schizophrenia in America that was heavily censored.
>>545136221>young kids>omg earthbound is so wacky>young kids have no idea that it is an accurate portrayal of having schizophrenia, fighting your toaster, then saving the world from aliens.
>>545114015That isn't discovery changes, that's valve adding another half assed bandaid that'll get abused then abandoned like everything else valve does instead of actually fixing the problem.
>>545131992hmm now what? I enjoyed it. got lost trying to find a path forward the first time you see the ship. kept falling off the level and finding myself at different checkpoints. really looking forward to seeing this game progress.specs are old:i5 66001070 8gbat 1440p, ran at 60 most of the time. a few drops here and there. perfectly playable.
>>545135736you can use the style section of my character generator until you find one that sounds interesting. or just roll until you get a character you like and make a theme around thathttps://xhal.itch.io/charactergenerator
>>545135060Are godot and defold the go to choices for solodev (2D)?
>>545134497I look like this
>>545132018They have default settings that a lot of bad devs don't bother to adjust.
>>545136385weapons disabled? I'll show you disabled!!! BZZZRRTTT!!!
>>545135794What does that mean
>>545113898I'm comparing myself to similar games; I have a lot of room for improvement in terms of the interface.
>>545136762It means they can’t read C well enough to change the default rendering options to add anti-aliasing and other pretty looking effects.
i need a "toy" idea, in other words a simple, yet engaging mechanic to base my game on
>>545135142I forgor about the collision
some posts of turd games get so much engagement on reddit and I am absolutely clueless why
>>545136837really fat cats and destructible environments. call it OH LAWD HE COMIN' thank me from your private plane later
>>545136425if you know python, go with Godot. if you know C# or Java go with Unity. if you're making a 3D action game go with Unreal.
>>545137049Not a single person has even posted a progress picture of Helicopter Kitty Combat yet either. I’m so disappointed in the progress of this thread.

Think suckless but a framework for a game engine. Just a debug, entity, event, and some basic collision.
>>545137702What do you mean fix the shaders? You use the default shaders included in the examples? They’re horrible.
>>545131992Forgot to add that pressing esc brings up the "Pause" menu (It doesn't actually pause anything)There's 4 extra one off combat levels in there.
>>545137909I gave those a go. tried the shield one a lot as I liked the concept of trying to get over the shield. didn't beat it. boss hit hard and I didn't do a serious attempt at it. the other map, I didn't care for the grenades in practice, neat that you need to think about the gravity direction though. then I tried to change my loadout and got softlocked as there was no way out after i clicked the change hull button

No, you learn how to use the tool correctly. FFMPEG is a screwdriver, and you keep handing the simplest task for someone else to figure out, then you wonder why your game sucks.

does fygoon post in the discord?
>>545145250my game is exceptional and still ignoredpeople don't pay attention to exceptional things. They pay attention to whatever the masses and authority figures tell them
>>545145409Your game is exceptionally boring, exceptionally autistic, exceptionally uninspired, and exceptionally inaccessible, if it even exists.
>>545145409nothing is stopping you from positioning yourself as an authority figure in their livesyou do know you can justtell people stuffright?make a game that's compatible with the modern general audience and then justtell people to play itmost indies refuse to do this because they have too much passion for their own personal unique ideas to sell out and make some MVP slopbut if you really want success, just make something people actually wantif you want to make your game, then do it, nobody's stopping you, but prepare for poor performancethe market is exceedingly strict

The first level is going to be an AI psychiatrist that you have to talk to and divulge all greatest secrets and fears to, then the rest the game gets generated based on that conversation.
>>545153073The AI works locally, no data is saved, and you can even play it offline and delete your saved data before reconnecting to the internet so that your game was played in complete privacy.
>>545151104that's good!
to peer into the nature of the immaterial and return with the bosom of the flesh firmly, and permanently, embedded in your grasp as much as you are embedded in its, is the most natural and inevitable outcome of creating video games, digital experiences intended to resonate with the most profound chords of our being, it should have never been a surprise to yield such a result

what service do i get to host a game server for real time multiplayer ?
>>545153963delivery service
>>545153963You just use a VPS and load up whatever operating system you used to run the server you wrote.
>>545153963For real-time multiplayer, use a managed game server host such as AWS GameLift, Azure PlayFab Multiplayer Servers, Google Cloud Game Servers (Agones), or Unity Multiplay if you need authoritative server control, matchmaking, and autoscaling; use Photon Realtime/Fusion, Unity Relay, Epic Online Services, or Nakama if you prefer lightweight relay or P2P networking that avoids running your own infrastructure; or self-host on a VPS from providers like Hetzner, OVH, or DigitalOcean for early testing or total control—each option trading ease of setup for authority, scalability, and cost efficiency, with cloud services best for competitive or large-scale deployments and relay systems better for small co-op or indie projects.

>>545157392So you turn 30 and then you are just expected to spend the rest of your 50 or so years taking the L? Sounds like loser talk
>>545158147I found that no, like zero percent of girls are attracted to me when we first meet, but over time they start getting into me even if we don't talk at all. maybe it's like that with games?
>>545158310Post your AI Game?
>>545158310I wonder how many of these assets are based off of games like call of duty and I wonder when and or if they're going to get sued for that.

>>545158370Bing druid in exile
>>545158487i wonder how blown out your rectum is from all the bug chasing
>>545158487Exactly, the legality of commercializing AI produced games has not been decided through written law or court decision yet. However if you know how to train an AI on your own assets, or legally licensed training material through Adobe whoever, it is perfectly legal to use it.
>>545158286Skill issue. My team had a standardized rail grid, extensive code commenting throughout the base, and a task list/issue tracker.

>>545158751the projection is strong in you
>>545158754I hear lawsuits will shut down AI in two weeks. Be careful.
if you're not using AI, do i even have to say it?
>>545158310lol @ the fatfuck enemies. lmao.
>>545158883Okay. That changes nothing. The content generated by AI trained on illegally sourced material may be deemed to be unworthy of copyright and commercialization in the future. This can apply retroactively. They ban shit like that all the time to protect monopolies.
>>545158923Nobody is saying AI will shut down. I believe the much more likely scenario is these companies will end up having to pay out the ass in fines to come to an agreement with Disney, etc, etc.

Anyone got any examples of games where overland travel is actually interesting?I know Foxhole does something with mud, where you can choose to go around mud patches or you can wade through it and become muddy which ends up slowing you down or having some other effect which affects combat.Then there's Snowrunner and Mudrunner where the whole thing is about driving trucks through mud and rivers, getting stuck etc,I feel like there's not a lot of that. Like you'll have some overworld travel mechanic and you just hold a direction and you travel in that direction, the only thing stopping you being cliffs and bodies of water. You can run through a forest at full speed. Seems like an area worth exploring
>>545150395>>545156170say what you want but since his 30 millions views he dumped ALL devving progress, random clips and sketches to farm interest, while linking his steam page. For thousands of angry comments there will be some curious onlookers that don't know better, will feel sorry for him and even some people that think that's neat and will buy his games. He promptly discounted all of his shit 90% so I'm really curious if his 4 years of Steam griefing will turn some profit just about now. Jamie, can we see a steam charts graph of his game?

i wonder how much there is a "what if you'd do this?" factor in gamedesign. and if that's why copying games doesn't work.let me explain. e.g. on youtube you make a video "what if you put a candle into a microwave?"now imagine the video game equivalent of this: "what if you put someone in control of a colony?"i know games are more complex than videos, so ofc a video game isn't as detailed as "put a candle in a microwave simulator", but your game, if it does something new, might have the same "wow it'd be interesting to see what happens when you do this" effect.let's say i'd make a post now "i worked on video game for 3 years and released it 3 months ago". would you be interested in what happened after release? probably. because it has that "i wonder what happened" effect. same could happen in game design. like "what if you put a guy into a zombie apocalypse?" (already exists though).like there has to be this pull that players want to know how something plays out.
>>545167157Not too far off from what i was planning but unitree cause theyre cheaper and dont need to be jailbroken. But easier said than done. There might be issues with the extra weight it might throw it off balance. Cant say for sure.But the make over means i can make the money back with profit too i think.

Let me just pontificate a bit. As a gamer that is involved in playing games as a serious hobby I'm torn everytime I have to pay real money for a game. My Steam backlog is huge and I mean HUGE. There are games I forgot I have and games I activated 8+ years ago back in the times when sales were good and humbllebundle was fire. I still have physical copies of games for PS3 I haven't even touched, not to mention my PS4 and Switch. I also have a PS+ subscription so I have access to hundreds of games and I'm always choosing games from that pool since my subscription will eventually run out and not playing as much as posssible is like throwing my money away. All that said I still visit Steam store and PS store to see what's interesting AND cheap to play later. In this particular situation I just won't dish out $20 for a game I will not play for the next couple of months, maybe years even. In currently abundant situation you can only sell game if you really, REALLY like the developers of the game or when the game is cheap enough you're feeling like cheating when buying it. But you can argue - not everyone has these options. There are people with fever games and less options, they will surely buy my game! That is also false. Most people will still choose playing F2P games with their friends than paying 20 bucks. Right now that price range can be associated with literal masterpiece that everyone wants to play, think Silksong. A peak event of 7 years of blueballing your fanbase that when the game is released they just run like rabid hogs to get it. This is why there's only 400 games per year worth a damn on steam. You need to create hype or have a good price. You either have a cult following or you will bust your cuff.

>tfw contemplating the state of indie games as a professionHad just about enough.
>>545169894Higher your price, it'll make your product seem more exclusive and more people will buy.Low price makes it look like your product is trash.
>>545169940Wtf is this picture. >things were never goodOkay but you just invalidated your opinion to me with that meta cringe pic.
>>545170013here's your answer>>545141948
>>545170146Sales are fine if your price is high enough.
>>545141765Welp I'm never going to achieve that if I continue to spend so much time here instead of promoting my game.A choice must be made.
>>545149305Finished implementing and testing stuff for my free additional content which i will upload to steam. I will upload after one more overall test.

Here is an old webm from what i was making. I might have to do gamedev desu cause im brokie rn.
>>545164091I kinda want to make some game where you have to sail everywhere
>>545170737
>>545167305Valve smothers niche genres. I hope they change the discoverability algorithm to fix this but I won't hold my breath. You SHOULD be able to make a living by picking an underserved genre and making games for it but that's not how it works on steam because on steam you're competing with everything not just games in your genre. Really stupid.
>>545170886good times
You don't have to greentext my posts just cause you liked them.

>>545171489the clothes have to be separate. The skirt needs to have physics. vip.
>>545170886Big titty tennis dev back as a namefag of all things.I remember you having a mental health crisis back then. I'm sure now that you are in legitimate financial turmoil that your half baked "soft" porn game will overcome the many design and development obstacles that make you spiral last time.I think the major issue you had was that your game isn't tennis enough to be a sports game and not pornographic enough to be a porn game, so instead you're making an awkward and inaccessible tennis game that is too oddly sexualized for anyone to feel comfortable discussing with friends. Looking forward to seeing you become our next Burger King dev.
>>545171616oh man that was on 2022 fuuuuu
>>54517110850k wishlists not converting isn't even really a steam problem. The market is inherently fucked right now.
>>545171784I didnt try to sell it i just dropped it. Just in time to come back to it with all the ai shit now lol…
>>545167305After looking at reviews the problem was basically that it's not AAA so it's bad. It's an indie early access game which is rough around the edges and for $20 this is inexcusable to the players. So it's another example of a dev blowing tens of thousands of wishlists. Dev should have playtested more and not asked $20 for an EA game.https://youtu.be/ZjtUE-wUvVg&t=1032

>>545172747>right nownew fuck
>>545174424>don't overhype your game>coming from the guy who has said his game is basically bioshock + half life 2 + immersive sim + willy wonka + squid game + whateveryikes

>drank a coffee early in the morning to get a major boost>crash down after devving, took a nap>wake up, crack open a beer to open my creative side>do some art >eat candy from halloween to keep motivatedI'm on fire right now! It's devving time!
>>545170887You know what fucking boils my piss? Overworld travel that doesn't have boats or ships. You encounter a river? Well fuck you that's an impassable barrier and you have to go find a bridge. For all of human history rivers have been travel arteries, that's why cities are built on them. Ships are cool and we need more of them. Bannerlord figured that out too late I'm not buying that ship DLC if it ever comes out.
>>545174931turn in your man card for having to drink that feminine shit and also for having to take a fucking nap. you're either 80 years old or a woman or both
>>545174424>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T POST E-CELEBERINOS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE SHOULD INSTEAD COPE HARD ABOUT HOW DOOMED EVERYTHING IS. FYYYGOOOOON PREDICTED THIS REEEEEEEEEE
>>545174514Yes right now. To imply the indie market was like this a few years ago is dishonest. Next fest is cooked after only being a thing for a couple years, wishlists are starting to mean less and less, and the number of games is skyrocketing with AI. None of this was a thing a few years ago. Imagine calling people newfags on 4chan in 2025. Fix your life.
>>545174929yummers
>>545174929>cringeoof stinky!
we need the lolidevs to come back
>working on ladder system in fps project>ladder is a box trigger>set isClimbing true when OnTriggerEnter, false when OnTriggerExit in player script>player can climb up and leave ladder trigger>but cannot get off at the bottom of ladder because player never exits ladder trigger (ground prevents leaving trigger area so isClimbing stays true)>try to use ray to see if player "reached ground" and if isClimbing then set it to false>player now can't climb ladder because it already "reached ground" and isClimbing when entering ladder triggerwhat do?
>>545175327holy fuck you can't even into a fucking ladder just quit tard
>>545175065>>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T POST E-CELEBERINOS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE SHOULD INSTEAD COPE HARD ABOUT HOW DOOMED EVERYTHING IS. FYYYGOOOOON PREDICTED THIS REEEEEEEEEE
>>545174731He says in that exact video how he's making an effort to make clear his game isn't as good as bioshock, this would include pricing it differently.Also what does that have to do with the point. You dismiss a common sense point by making a pithy remark about the dev. Contain your jealousy.
>>545175327>try to use ray to see if player "reached ground" and if isClimbing then set it to falseit should be set to false first when you start climbing down when ground has been reached
>>545175497shut the fuck up, retard. you didn't even address that anon's point at all
>>545175327Did you ask this like a month ago?
>>545175327If it's a Halo 1 ladder then it's as simple as allowing the player to move up or down when looking up or down and within the trigger volumeIf it's a Call of Duty ladder (i.e. you press a button and you snap to the ladder) then it's a glorified cutscene that disables all player control and plays the MoveUp or MoveDown animation based on where you are in the ladder
>it doesnt work
>>545175560>virtue signalling attention seeking tard doesn't know how booleans work
>>545175327Tutorial on ladder.
>>545175634yea it's a meme he's trying to force. i checked the archive just now, same exact fucking post
>>545175497I'm just saying he's doing a bad job when he mentions bioshock (or some other big AAA game) in literally every video he makes.I'm excited for the mixed reviews and Thomas going>Why is everyone comparing it to BioShock?!?!
>>545175603uh oh meltie
>>545175636>glorified cutsceneretarded way to put that, you've never even played the series clearly
i've got proggy to post, someone mek thred
>>545175843what does that have to do with the point. You dismiss a common sense point by making a pithy remark about the dev. Contain your jealousy.
>>545176173absolutely demolished that anon, very nice

>>545176021Damn nigga you sensitive
>>545176479>taking everything literallyretarded zoomer alert
>>545174931Based. I’m all hopped up and Pepsi and cheap Halloween candy. I need to wind down before I leak any builds from the past year.
>>545174931>eat candy from halloween to keep motivatedlol
>>545176481whoaaaaa, relax there darnell
>>545176618My dad stood at a grinding machine 60 hours a week for 50 years. A drawer full of candy is only way he survived.
>>545176760>tales from ye ol' boomerwho in the fuck asked though? nobody gives a shit that your dad did nothing but stand at a machine all day. he probably got the equivalent of $50 an hour to press a couple buttons each hour and lived in a mansion.
I watched 2 movies today.
Treating yourself to a jolly rancher after 30 minutes of dev is a good way to rewire your dopamine receptors. Monkey do code, monkey get treat.
how do i gain the mental fortitude to work on my game without thinking its a manchild fantasy and a complete waste of my time
>>545176874I care about his dad, I don't care about (You), though
>>545176926that's..... not what you should be doing but okay continue being a retard
Can we admit that twitter and its pathetic forms of gamedev marketing need to be erased from existence?
>>545176874Nah, not really. He just retired. He did precision work for the aviation components. I made more money writing an hours worth of python scripts.
im gonna start posting regularly on x now>>545171132my sides
>>545177084Doesn't bother me and I don't care. Just don't look at it.
>>545176946You don't need mental fortitude. You need real skills. Without real skills, gamedev really is a manchild fantasy and a complete waste of time.
Contain your jealousy.
>>545177179awful take

>>545176760I just liked the idea of someone eating candy and being like fuck yeah let's devIgnore this melt melt he's having another meltie melt >>545176874
>>545177179if someone has real skills they wouldnt be touching game dev in the first place
>>545177179That's my cousins helicopter and jokes on you he works at Boeing now.
>>545177397awful take
The last 4 people to play my demos have disappeared though. I need to add a counter to the website.
>>545177473>website
>>545176946Making a video game IS a manchild fantasy and complete waste of your time. It's not about mental fortitude, it's about admitting to yourself that you are a manchild and your time is worthless so you might as well just waste it.>>545177179Even with real skills gamedev a complete waste of time. Imagine for your pictural example someone who could and did build a helicopter alone. It'd still be a waste of time because he'd never be be able to compete with the factories churning out helicopters.
>>54517708430 mln views btw (toonguy, boku misfired)
>>545177545what isnt a waste of time then?
Someone should make a stealth action game, where you are a CIA contractor, and you have to hide a body on an active ordnance range. So it’s Metal Gear Solid meets Minesweeper.
>>545176903Based. Love me some kino to just get away from it all. Vidya isn't quite the same because I think so often about my game and get inspired and stuff.
>>545177735shut the fuck up zoomer
>>545177545>he doesn't know about aircraft kitsPlenty of people build their own aircrafts. Many have used those aircrafts as the foundation for a small business.
>>545177648I could show you guys some places on Google Maps if you need reference art. I can accurately describe any unexplored ordnance and how to detect it to you. The programming should be pretty easy.
new thread>>545177842>>545177842
>>545177545This is some good seethe. Too good.
>>545177735What movies did you watch?
>>545177545>Making a video game IS a peak male flex and complete subjugation of your potential. It's about mental fortitude, it's about forging a whole world by yourself in a majestic fusion of art and code and your time couldn't be possibly spent on anything more worthwhile.
>>545176946Stop listening to women tell you what is childish and what isn’t
>>545177084>31K views>THE ALGORITHM IGNORES ME WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>545178009I watched a retarded comedy movie super low brow. It was just what the doctor ordered.
>>545176946If you don't have a comfortable and fulfilling life, then it is a waste of time. Gamedev is best as a hobby. It's ok to do something because you like doing it, but it's probably not ok to use gamedev as a coping mecahnism to feel some level of control when the rest of your life is a mess, or to imagine that if you just make a game and sell it for millions of dollars then it'll rescue you from a lifetime of bad decisions. If you think gamedev is a manchild fantasy then your brain is probably trying to tell you that you should be spending your time and energy on more pressing matters.>>545177179You are right, but I did gamedev when I was a kid and it got me into programming and eventually led to a career as a software developer. Everyone starts somewhere. But back then I had no delusions about publishing and making big money off a game and I was literally a child. Some people come here, watch their first brackeys tutorial and think they're going to release the next lethal company and transform their lives, those people need a reality check and to be told that they're at least 10 years of practice away from being able to make a commercial game.
