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.
yay for yesdevs
If you’re not making money, you’re not an artist. You’re just someone one step away from homelessness with some doodles.
>>545378487ok but my doodles are cool
Watching the vibe coder zoomers fight the nonbis is my new hobby
>>545378209Not everything will be default but most things are already made and you don't need to reinvent the wheel, it's not like everyone is trying to recreate baldur gate or a rockstar game with tons of reactive npcs, i can just focus on making the combat and animations feel right >>545378328> A wall. But the wall needs to know about the rain. It needs to know about the bullets. Does it chip. Does it bleed dust. What does it sound like when a man claws at it in the dark. What are its physicsas i said in my previous reply all of this is just checkboxes and if you want something really specfic you can just create a custom profile and again it will still be just checkboxes
>>545378641There very well could be. Show some of them and provide a 2 sentence pitch for a game featuring them.
>>545378487That just a capitalism-brainwashed mindset. There is value in things other than monetary.
>>545378698not if you need moneyit's more of a poverty mindset
>>545378698Maybe, I but I am an artist, and I have a vision and direction for my game

oh how blissful is ignorance
Is it punishable by death if most of my gameplay is copied from a game released in the 2000s?
>>545379219It is very much encouraged.
>>545379219I was killed for doing that.
My game's gameplay is entirely copied from a 2000s game but nobody boughted it.
>>545379252I'm sorry for your loss.

I’m all hopped up on caffeine, mushrooms, tootsie pops, and I need to change my dev diaper again. How are you guys doing on progress?
wageslaving for minimum wage 12 hours a day with an hour long commute each way isn't selling outbut designing your game to appeal to a viable audience isfor many indies there is an irrational apprehension to accounting for the emotions of others in the process of creating your gamesmy game will adhere exactly to my vision or my game will not existeven though you could just make it slightly more accessible and post some tiktoks about it and increase your odds of making enough money to fund the development of future gamesbut i guess since marketing still doesn't guarantee success, people would rather make a game they're 100% passionate about that's almost guaranteed to flop than sacrifice an ounce of agency to make the gamble more favorable

i am the morning star
>>545382328Bunniga?! Are you ok?
the future of gamedev is about people becoming able to socialize and collaborate, not about learning more dead knowledge they'll never turn into a anything. even if they finish something, it's underwhelming, cause 1 person just can't make anything worthwhile.it's about talented people teaming up to create something beautiful. but that requires collaboration skills, and nobody teaches collaboration skills.asset stores are an abomination of "collaboration". it's like having a team where everybody does what they want and always trying to sell it to other team members.
>>545382635100%, but the collab will be with ai instead of fleshbags
>>545382507>cris es argentino
>545382595What's up with this tranny bitch seething about AI the entire thread? Get it back to its containment discord.
>>545381263Fun fact jeet - if anyone can slop up a game in the future then no one will buy yoursbtw, enjoy your downvote ratio on social media
Thanks guys, you’re giving me lots of content for Crab Cooking! with /AGDG/!
society feels like a titanic. poor people at the bottom already drowned. the middle class desperately trying to move up, while they also start drowning. and the rich people pretending the water will never reach them.basically the poor are like an indicator that the ship is sinking, yet instead of saving the ship, they tell the "indicators" to shut the fuck up and get a job to get to the higher floors on the titanic.
>>545382961You will never be a woman, btw
do devs realize that they constantly keep devaluing their work by making thousands of "learn gamedev in 1 day" or "i speedrun making this" or "everybody can learn this" type of content?if your customers start believing that it's easy and fast to make a game they'll become more and more spoiled.
>>545382623I died when they cut out both of my lungs. Now I am a ghost. WoooooooOOOOooo!
>>545383441>devsIt's grifters who never cared about games. Youtube content slop makers. Parasites, basically.
Replace "spotify" with "steme" and "music" with "games" and this video perfectly describes the game industry as well.https://youtu.be/nzAzPdILUA0
>>545383516Cant they rebuild you? They have the technology! IIRC there were prototypes of metal lungs as small as a cigarette pack
>>545384085yeah we all love music and video games made under socialist systems
>>545383289>we're making games too saar
>>545384085>How much do you pay for music
>>545384136No. They've only cut out a small part of my lung. It hurts a bit and I get out of breath quicker now, but that should improve with time.

Just make a horse game
>>545378338my university is always shitting the bed with boring assignments and exams preventing me from making my gayme... it's like they're constantly reminding that my future is in a soul-sucking wage cage that doesn't even pay me enough to live with a semblance of dignity instead of pursuing my passions

>>545378338basedjak /RAID/ thread 231074
>>545387060Yeah but it has a striking cartoony artstyle. This just looks worse
>>545386751who, me?
>>545387359That is irrelevant to the question.
There's no escape. Everyone is making some type of slop.
>>545386882or you could actually make them money a bit and get them trust you with a bigger sum..
maybe my job isn't to make a game by myself from scratch, but to be some sort of producer who has to arrange assets and scripts into a specific game that works.
>>545387638I dont need that. I just need a cash cushion to live how I want for a few years.
>>545387638This is some wypipo shit...
>>545387202Congrats anon that's big news
>Progress.>The apply jitter combined with Smoothstroke makes for a good simple meme/cartoon drawing technique >A real artist would never use AI.
>>545387760do you plan to an hero in a few years or something

>>545388076yeah probably
>>545378338Improving and merging equipment with the store, smooth movement, and attempting to fix a sampling issue with objects that are set as soon as they appear.
>>545384776So you don't have to die in the next two months any more?
>>545388021>The apply jitter combined with Smoothstroke makes for a good simple meme/cartoon drawing techniqueWhat tool/program is this in?
>>545388171I mean if you are able to scam investors like thatyou'd be wasting a talent
>>545388501Ah yes, I am currently using GIMP 3.0.4 on MacOS. Apply jitter and smoothstroke are options on the paintbrush tool. GIMP crashes a lot on MacOS with large files, so save often.
where to learn graphics programming?
>>545378338some progress. now have a barebones functional gameplay loop. also cleaned up the visuals a bit. i doubt i'll make it for dd, but at least i can actually work on the content part now.
>>545388214Is this a Space Invaders roguelike? That's a fun sounding idea if so. It looks like you're using Godot's native drag/drop system. That system is kinda ass so I made my own and I'd recommend you do the same.
>>545388664C and Raylib are great places to start. Plenty of tutorials on Youtube. Works on a potato.
>>545388167Better from this angle
>>545386972no

>>545388224I've still got incurable cancer. They took part of my lung so they could get a tumor out intact and then run tests on it to see exactly what type of cancer it is and whether it'll respond to any treatment.I'm not going to die in 2 months, but I've got less than a 50% chance of being alive in 5 years time, and less than a 10% chance of being alive in 10 years time.
>>545384640Music is an integral part of the game experience. I offer musicians negotiated compensation on the backend as well as up front payment on receiving finished stem files in the correct format.
>>545386873Kek>>545386972We shall find out soon enough eh m8? (soon i mean in 4 or 5 months)
speaking of music. who gets the money when a game dev puts a soundtrack up on steam? does the money go to the dev or the person who made the music?
>>545386602It’s Pac-man but you can jump over the ghosts.
>>545388714It is a bullet-hell shoot 'em up with dual ship configurations in Unity.The drag-and-drop system is custom and created with gameObjects.I feel like I've put an insane amount of work into a genre that doesn't usually get it.
>>545387202another one on GMI list
>>545389662That would be negotiated. You would get compensation for writing credits on any soundtrack compilation automatically through BIAA or whoever manages that shit.
>>545389673Well shit now that you said it, you're kinda right kek.
Google gave me a 250$ ad credit, so I just threw some assets up and pointed it at my steam page. Steam doesn't let it do any of its fancy tracking shit, but it certainly had an impact on wishlists. This is a nice bump going into my demo release.
>>545389879>Google gave me a 250$ ad creditwhy?
>>545389949Probably bought some cloud compute.
>>545387267what the fuck is wrong with nortubel?
>>545389879Combining that with a small campaign of like 5-6 streamers could get the ball rolling. Takes a little bit of money to make a little money.
i love yesdevs but i would never ever play their games
>>545389949I spent like 300$ on ads before for unrelated stuff
progress simulator
>>545390190That still counts as a crab post. You may not play it, bur you’re going to be in it.
>>545390234It won’t be a progress simulator if I include the TinyC compiler and you get points for adding features.
>>545390234It's not gonna happen.. I spend hours to get something working and my brain is exhausted from trying to understand the math.I even uploaded the wrong video.Maybe gamedev is not for me.
do any of you actually use ai for anything
>>545390508Yeah, I use it to write all the boring code I memorized in high school.
I didn’t always have the internet, but I had a computer with a C compiler, Visual Basic 6, and of couple of books.
>>545389478Have you tried lucid dreaming to slow down time?
>>545390508I used AI for voice acting. I can't post it because /agdg/ will shit on me for it.
>>545389879>$17.86 per wishlist
>just put on YouTube music playlist with adblocker>work and shitpost until it asks you if you’re still there>snack, piss, smoke, repeat.
>>545390980You should be doing this 18 hours a day until you have income. If you’re old like me, hope in the sauna a bit to recharge.
Good Morning /agdg/.I'm still theming my Emacs and Linux Desktop in preparation for developing my game.
>>545391165That’s based as fuck. I have to feng shui the fuck out of my desktop on the PC and in real life so I can get in the code zone.
>>545390938It's only being running since the 4th, and it's fairly inconsistent because I have the bidding set low. But yes, it is pricey per click because frankly my game is not amazing looking. However, I do recommend it for anons who have impressive looking games, but need to get them in front of people. If you have the cash (200-500$), it's by far the easiest form of marketing available.
If you’re not keeping the cat box clean, talking about your tendie to feature ration, you’re NGMI. Every tendie you eat needs to be something done of your checklist. YOU DONT HAVE A FUCKING CHECKLIST?!?!?!
YOU DID NOT JUST POST IN MY FUCKING THREAD WITHOUT A CHECKLIST OF PROGRESS YOU WERE GOING TO SHOW ME TODAY!

>>545391541>>545391685don't tell me we now have a personality in the thread called 'The Colonel'. This is becoming a sitcom, it's latter season Big Bang Theory hypothesis.
>>545391118What do you do during an 18 hour session? I only do a few hours of work per day, but I still feel productive. It depends on the complexity of my work. When my brain starts to feel fatigued, I stop working. It helps me retain high quality output.
>>545391852Oh, probably about 8-10 hours of real work between the shitposting and house work.
>>545391541>A CHECKLIST OF PROGRESSi like that ideatoday i'm going to work on a basic game state handler system, and an upgrade system for both the player and enemy unitsas the player upgrades their character, the enemies will also increase in strengthsimilar to oblivion, where enemies become stronger alongside the player, i think this will prevent the game from feeling stale
>>545388765i want to learn zig too can i just use that instead of some ancient shit language like c or cpp
>>545392112Yeah sure man, that’s the great thing about raylib being written in C, it works with everything. I’d be able to help you troubleshoot Zig, something good for me to pick up.
I haven’t decided how much I need to raise yet, but basically I’ll be shitposting here and gamedeving until I reach a certain threshold.
I'm glad I'm a third worlder and I need only $500 a month to live like a king.On a related note, what kind of game to make in 6 months that will earn me $3000 after Steam's cut and VAT and that, so $6000 total.
>>545391541I wish I had progress to show you sir but I'm in polishing and bug fixing hell right now and waiting for an artist to get back to me with some commissions.
That’s so strange, a bird just hit my window. Hope it didn’t die.

>>545393345I’ll play your small game, if its just a link to playable web game on itch.io. I like small games.
>>545393451could I make at least $100 total from my small game?
>>545393365Then your videos on TikTok should be renders of sexy women fighting a war.
>>545393525Yes, that would be easy through donation if it is high quality enough, or by having a demo and charging a couple bucks. When have a product, people will come out of the woodwork to help you monetize it.
They are silly little undeveloped beings, who think that their attention is what merits quality, when it is craftsmenship and quality that merits quality.
there are games i've never heard of pulling in thousands of reviews
That guy didn’t get lucky with Cave Story, there were a million people making indie Visual Basic games back then, no one played them, and no one remembers them. He just did it better.

I’ve got some floppies in the closet, that still might have some QBASIC games from 1995 if they haven’t completely degraded.
success in indie dev used to be as simple as making a game that isn't full of bugs and asking journalists to make articles about itnow you need to be an arcane wizard with an esoteric understanding of the human soul and the technical skills of a senior developer to achieve a fraction of the success people used to find with games such as binding of isaac, super hexagon, super meat boy, braid, etccompetition has become absurdly stiff, that not even most successful developers know why their games did so much better than otherswe're reaching a breaking point where only unhinged schizophrenics will be able to tap into the level of consciousness required to generate an idea that would entice the average brainrotted tiktok scroller to even consider spending money on your gamewe have five years before things reach this levelexpect terry davis level gamedevs cranking out hits at the expense of their ever eroding sanity
>he's been at it since 1995>he had multiple windows of opportunity to make a hit game and win bigly>he took none of them and still posts in /agdg/ 30 years laterThis sounds so pathetic I can actually believe in it.

>>545396378You don't understand. It's not just about that it was easier to make money. It's that your effort you put in your game back then had a direct correlation with the result you had.So if you actually put in the effort, and made a (serious) bug-free, good game, all you had to do was just talk about it anywhere. Anywhere. And you'd get natural eyes on your game and the money you made was a bonus.It still wasn't easy, it was hard. You still had to make the game. But it was easier then, and more importantly, REASONABLE.Today? Not so much.

>>545397227But more work was needed and the technical challenges were greater and the audience was smaller.Ok there's Notch and a few other guys. But look at say the 5th most successful indie game of 2010 or 2011 and see what happened to that developer. Do you think they're set for life the way Tiny Glade devs or Digging A Hole devs are?The reason there were fewer game devs back then wasn't that it didn't occur to people to make games but that gamedev was a lot harder.

>>545401906Use an AI agent to document and rewrite your code in a consistent style. Modularize your source files and limit the amount of lines in each one.
>>545401080>make fun of heretical christians who preach a violent and hateful god>admit you can't get a single human being to love you, thinking that's some win when someone tries to convert you>magical skydaddy, as opposed to the spirit of God which resides in everyone and everything throughout the universe>Most atheists are more christian than most christians (at least in the west)>Attack atheists too.I don't really get the point of this. If it's to attack the american christian fundies, the redditor "new atheists", or losers who post on reddit/4chan all the time, I'm all for it. Kindof funny desu. But God resides in all of us, so you are never alone even when you feel alone. Also magic words wont save you. A true heart that loves others will, as that's the only way we know anyone is born of God. As John wrote,Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.>YOU'RE GOING TO BURN IN HELL REEEEEEEEEEIf anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And we have this commandment from Him: Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.
>>545402206Damn nigga that sure is a lot of text that I'm not gonna read. I'm happy for you or sorry it happened.
>>545401906When I have a sloppy C file, I use a prompt similar to the following, using Claude and Copilot.>Review and analyze the following code. Refactor it, reducing redundancy where possible, maximizing it human legibility following K&R C style. Comment the file using code using doxygen style comments. Do not make any changes that would require other source files to be altered.

>>545402545Basically the same thing I would tell an Indian dude before sending $100 bucks on fiver and go fishing for the day.
>>545402694you just have to post on twitter like twice and then start either shitting on republicans or democats, death threats will rain upon you in a blink of an eye

>>545402206Western Christians are perhaps, as a group, the most godless people in the entire world. I say Western, bc I don't speak any other language and cannot testify to the veracity of non-western Christians.Of course >90% of all people of any faith/church/temple/whatever do not actually believe what they claim to believe. They just fake it for social points or bc they were told "This mundane activity is what you do, and don't ever think differently." I have worked in churches, they're filled with frauds and liars who would be the last to ever admit they're frauds or liars but anytime their faith is ever tested in any way they immediately collapsed to become more hardened than even the most hardened atheists.>We love because He first loved us.This is just like a Parent-Child relationship. When you have healthy loving parents and are provided for, you learn to become sweet, kind, loving individuals. In the same way we learn love from our parents and then can love ourselves and others, so is our individual relationship with God like this. We love because God first loved us. We are the child, and God is our Parent.Any "Christian" who hates others, such as heretical bigots like Charlie Kirk, do not know God. They are liars and conmen. Frauds. It's all a performative show for them. Except God resides in us all, so there is a spark there just as there is in everyone. Even in billionaires, those hideously evil tyrants, there is a spark of hope that they could one day abandon all their wealth to learn to know God.>Camel walking through the eye of a needleThere has never been a billionaire who has done this. So it seems impossible. Of course, there are no serial killers like Brian Thompson, Benjamin Netanyahu, or U.S. Presidents who repent either. Dick Cheney is roasting in the fires of hell today while the world celebrates his death. May God have mercy on that man's soul, as no human could ever have the capacity to forgive such a monstrous beast.

So you can chat with the schizo Christian babble guy, or the schizo CIA guy who will tell you how to optimize your codebase down to the point where you can actually work on it again. Lots of options here in /agdg/
>>545402413Jesus was a working man who always noticed wealth & poverty lived side by side. Gabe Newell, aka Fatfuck Gabencunt *nods to anon*, would be the person Jesus would denounce more than anyone else in this space. In gamedev there is no greater evil than Fatfuck Gabencunt.And his evil isn't even because he steals 1/3rd to1/2 of the fruits of your labor. That is evil, but it's not his great evil. Your monetary wealth is also material, and thus worthless compared to heavenly wealth (loving others, joy in life, and the deep satisfaction of releasing your art into the world).
>>545401574Math is the smallest problem, you implement it once and forgetI am asking from game design perspective
>>545403219I’m so white I glow, but I was also exposed to radiation too, so.
>>545403419Umm, BASED!?!?! You don't have to give me more any more reasons to like Gabe. I'm already convinced.
I’m making a sex simulator featuring Jesus Christ and Gabe Newell now for the demo day.
>>545403268Better than reddit, where your only option is to talk to the one guy who wants to suck off this fatty's asshole
>>545403880Who are you going to have as the top, Gabe or Jesus?
>>545403731>Fear is a Christian Virtue!>Meanwhile Christianity:>God is Love & There is no fear in love. There is no fear in God.Your understanding of Christianity is perverted because of American christians, who are perhaps the most satanic evil people on the planet. So I don't blame you for being so wrong... you're surrounded by the most anti-christian people who tell you constantly they're the most christian.

>>545404446Oh yeah, I’m working on that one bro. The Freemasons are pissed.
yaweh is meant to be the most powerful Jannie to ever exist. Yet pedos persist. Lolige still reach steam. Nodevs still derail threads.
>>545402694I've received many death threats from other gamedevs, tons of redditors and reddit moderators, and more.The most insane one was someone who stalked me successfully doxing me across like 8 websites on the internet as some detective sleuth, and ended up calling me out on 8 different websites. The police told me it was an IP from New Zealand, so I was safe, but it all started because I wrote a tutorial on how to edit the Unity asset files for a dead indie MMO.The loser initially got insanely butthurt because I wrote the tutorial. Then he got raging mad because I said "This allows you to replace the horrible placeholder sound effects with something that doesn't make your ears bleed." as he saw it as some attack on his MMO for some reason. But the stalking didn't happen until he started demanding the mods/admins ban me for the tutorial and it being "illgeal" and "immoral". Well Richard Garriott and Starr Long both came into the thread to praise me for my tutorial, admitted the sound effects were horrible, and thanked me for it.I know that is the single event that kindof "flipped the switch" for this guy. He just became unhinged seeing the people who thought would destroy me, not only agree with me but praise me and completely & utterly ignore everything he said and ranted about.After I went on the offense and obtained his IP address, I contacted the New Zealand authorities. Not sure if they ever found him and told him to calm down or not.
>>545404661I have the tenets of Freemasonry distilled down into a 16-bit game my 80IQ transgender autistic brother can understand.
>>545405137I’ve been busy shit while I was hiding from the CIA these past 8 years.
>>545404824If Yahweh is so against pedophilia, why did he impregnate the Virgin Mary when she was only 12-14 of age? Something's not adding up.
>>545405081very nice Ronny, now can you link us to the thread? That line when Sir Garriott joined your cause is really interesting.
>>545405395I think you're the type of person who clearly doesn't think for himself judging by how you attached an anti christian picture and regurgitate popular anti christian opinions as your only talking points. Anyway I'm not even the other guy you were talking to.

>>545405891damn, nice
i dont have the spark
>>545405081The creepiest one though isn't the guy who knew who I was and messaged me on 8 separate websites all at the same time. It was, of course, a reddit moderator. Redditors are the biggest losers, and Moderators are always peak incels, as you all know.I've had reddit moderators stalk me after I block them, one in particular wanting to talk about my panties bc they thought I was female. He was raging because I said gamedev was easy and there aren't real gamedevs at /r/gamedev. When he had his meltdown, I just laughed at him. He didn't ban me (what they usually did) since he thought I was female.And oh boy was it weird larping as a female on reddit. Redditors just couldn't handle it. I got like 3 death threats, 5 creepy threats, like 20 PM's that were basically requesting personal arguments, and tons of replies to something that really should've gotten like 5 updoots and buried. Well that mod was triggered like everyone else, but he's a mod so he had to power trip. Instead of a ban though, since he thought I was female, he tried to do that whole man "power" move where he is all sexual. I got the feeling he actually wanted to do some "Oh she actually likes me and will fuck me." thing. Never told him I was male since I blocked him so quickly in the thread for being so stupid and incompetent at gamedev. That's the thing, I barely even responded to the guy, and he went off on me like I had been talking to him for months like some nemesis. Went straight to PMing me about my panties too. Like before I could even respond, my inbox is full up of private messages of redditors and r/gamedev mods trying to argue with me "privately".I can only assume they all thought if they argued with me and won, they would get rewarded with sex? Idk.
I’m combat retarded, I didn’t know I was allowed to just say Zionists, big deal.

>>545402185lmao ai can not handle this level of spaghetti
>>545406301Damn ronny these stories are weird. Are you working on anything at all now?
>>545405710>Can you help me dox you? I want the name you went by on those forums.Nice try, New Zealanders!I'd share it if I had saved the link. Idk why but I was never into "bookmarks" despite being one of the only ppl who probably should've archived everything he ever did since I have so many stories about gamedevs.My greatest loss was my conversation with Dan Fedor (creator Neo Scavenger) where I got him to finally admit to me that he hates his fans and would rather they fuck off and keep their money than to ever dare defy his desire to force himself down their throats aggressively. Of course this was AFTER his fans made him a millionaire.It was creepy, but I knew gamedevs were like this for years and so finally getting him to "snap" in peer to peer conversation and finally, after like too many back and forths talking way too long, got him to just admit the truth I knew he was hiding inside him.I had a good number of other interactions, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. Life gets too busy to keep my head canon all in my head. If I can remember anymore stories or find the links, I'll share them.I do have one I will never forget. Where Chris Simpson, creator of Project Zomboid, went off on me with this huge wall of text because I asked him gamedev to gamedev about when he will release a feature he promised a decade ago. He went off on me in a schizophrenic rant about how I was some villain who repeatedly stalked him for years over something else.The sad thing is....it wasn't just Chris. He had this janitorial mod who moderated all Project Zomboids stuff (reddit, steam discussion, official forums) named Enigma Grey, and he was just as schizophrenic and invested as Chris was, maybe even more so, in this weird obsession and delusion with some guy who I figure was probably just some ex-fan who criticized him once over the lack of some feature and then to cope with hundreds of similar complaints he just formed this strawman villain who stalk
>>545407071You pay for the good stuff, and break the tasks down first, it really can. Have it document, and create a tasks document for changes, then plan out a bunch of steps before you start asking it to make changes. Then do it one step at a time.
>>545407203There is a reason every major corporation is forcing their engineers to use it. If you learn to use it within its limitations, and guide it like a college student learning, it does amazing things.
Unreal engine is pissing me off. Whats the point of making a game with it if you save the file and then it breaks it when you open it because its a different version.
The AI works fine for every code task, if it’s not working, the problem is sitting in front of the keyboard. For instance, right now the cat is on my lap, I can’t reach the workstation keyboard.

>>545408170You need to identify where you can break that down into smaller files first, but the $30 Copilot Agent handles 2-5k .c source files very well, once you have them commented and documented.
>>54540817010k is probably above the token limit (I don't know it off the dome) but you could still do it by feeding it parts at a time. The real fix is not letting things get that bad in the first place though.
>>545407089People are weird. Especially gamedevs.I once PM'd Brianna Wu to out-left her, and she was even worse than I thought.That was before she later joined The Young Turks and then became this unhinged Zionist freak.And this was all before she came out as trans, even though it was pretty obvious to most people from the start I guess? I don't pay any attention to that stuff. I try to focus on the content of people's character, and wow do most gamedevs have really bad character.I think it's a mixture of the arrogance that comes with having a slightly higher intellect than the average person (anyone who can even script, is doing better than the room temp IQ people you will so often meet IRL), the elitism that comes with upper class privilege (either wealth or just way too much college education), low self esteem (nerds), terminally online mental illness (too much social media, not enough touching grass), the weird culture (either coming from abusive companies which exploit labor and treat you like easily replaced slaves, or from the absolute freakishly weird mental illness of indie subcultures).And oh boy, there was some doozies I have when it comes to talking to trans gamedevs. They seem to be the most mentally unstable for some reason. I have nothing against trans people, but their reactions and mental health is absolutely unhinged when interacting with people. My experiences are so tainted, the moment someone says they're trans I immediately gut react "Oh no, are they going to start screaming at me for no reason? I better be careful." Like I said, I don't concern myself with that stuff so I have no idea why, it's just in my experience and my instincts. I've met trans people IRL and they seem normal, so I figure it's the terminally online ones. Like the redditors I know IRL are the biggest most insane people ever. Something about being terminally online breaks people's brains, I think.
>>545408354>commented and documented.its over
>>545408181Kinda meh, I'd pair it up with a bigger, circular dirt cloud
>>545408445No, the AI does that part for you. It’s an iterative loop just like your game. Have it clean up a little and document a function at a time, until you’ve done more and more.
>>545408181Looks pretty good, one small suggestion: make the dust clouds appear at the moment the explosion effect appears and use them to mask the seam between the explosion sprite and the ground so it better hides that the explosion is just a 2D sprite

>>545407089>>545408413I am also pretty sure I am responsible for the self-deletion of one gamedev named James Durf or whatever the fuck his name was. I already forgot. He was the weirdo moderator of TIGG Forums, who had a meltdown and erased himself permanently, and he had this website where he linked his girlfriend he lived with, and she made "Poop games" and "Games about poop". It was really really weird.That's what I mean by>the weird culture (the absolute freakishly weird mental illness of indie subcultures).

>>545410104No, it sounds like he's actually talking about a rockstar employee (IIRC if he lives in san diego that'd check out since their studio is based out of there), but i actually pay attention to what people are saying instead of immediately trying to look for gotchas like a parasocial retard
>>545408754I also got spammed emails from her when she joined The Young Turk's 'Wolf PAC". Fucking bernie sanders selling off my email that mother fucking fraud.Anyway, I just hit "reply" to all these spam emails I get when they're full of shit, and you'd be surprised how often they reply with walls of text. Something as small as>Brianna Wu? LOL you're a fraud. I hope Trump wipes the floor with every candidate you want to win. You're a joke and your game is bad."Will get them to waste hours of their life replying. Multiple emails too. Meanwhile I spend like 10 seconds writing a sentence or two and just hit send.I got a Propaganda Blue-Yellow email from Calimacil, a canadian website I buy larp swords from. They were all >WE SUPPORT THE UKRAINE THAT WE DIDNT KNOW EXISTED UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO! WHITE FOLK ARE BEING INVADED BY THE OTHER REEEEE!!!!!!I just hit reply and sent a line about how I refuse to do business with nazi supporters. Attached a photo of the azov batallion.They had the most shitlib reply I've ever seen. So I just hit reply and gave them another sentence making fun of them. They were so triggered.The best part is that anytime you get these emails, just hit reply and paste something in or just laugh at them or insult them. They will always read it because if they read it the first time, they will read every email. I know they do because they eventually reply a second or third time too. They don't block your emails for some reason, I guess since they're the ones spamming you.Speaking of the Ukraine war. So many devs cashed in on that tragedy. So cynical. Smart business, but so cynical. So much money was made when this war was started. Propaganda Blue-Yellow was a huge success for many western businesses.
>>545410529Quit shilling your blog, rajeesh
Imagine actually wanting to meet up with other "gamedevs" IRL...
I always meet my fellow gamedevs on Grindr
>>545410557I think you're completely wrong about ukraine, but that's neither here nor there. I just can't believe people waste their time trolling D-tier e-celebs. But whatever, sounds fun for you I guess.
>>545410798If i met any of you in real life I'd beat you to death with a hammer, which would also make the threads noticeably more tolerable
>>545410557>THE UKRAINEOkay Yuri, back to /pol/ with you.
>>545410798Your network is your net worth. Imagine how nice it would be to have a guy you can call for anything, like art, marketing, dev support.
>>545409826I didn't do anything that should've caused his suicide. He was a huge asshole who had this huge bone to pick with me.Moderator banned me.I appealed to the admins bc he was unhinged and banned me bc he just didn't like him.Admin unbanned me.Guy went insane over it, banned me again, and then erased his account and later possibly his existence.The biggest trigger seems to be when people "in power", such as moderators, exert their power in abusive exploitative corrupt ways, and when they're then deprived of that very power, it shocks them to their core.It's what probably made this guy self delete. It's what made that stalker have a meltdown.People on power trips can't imagine when power is deprived from them, at moments they want to exert it the most.I have a way of triggering gamedevs really really hard, because I am highly skilled at gamedev and know a lot more than most users (newbies who barely know anything). I can cite my sources and provide solid arguments. This is what drives people to hate me.Pair that hatred with their corrupt abuse of power, but then deprive them of that power? It flips a switch in their heads. A kindof rage that isn't at all my fault, as it's entirely unintended.I merely exist, and eventually every 1 in 100 times something coincidentally happens where justice is served, and that justice is what gets them in the end.
post game btw aha
>>545407171Looks pretty reasonable. You sound like a kiwifaggot
Self shill post:TODAY, Nov 5th, and FRIDAY, Nov 7ththe /agdg/ showcase will be live at 7pm EST at https://www.twitch.tv/nine_ten.Be there and check out what your fellow aggiedaggie devs have created!
>>545410798I want my game studio to have that authentic Fight Club edgy 5 guys living in a decrepit house game studio vibe. I’m in the Southern California area.
>>545410029I definitely played this game in 2001.
>>545411295Do you have a list of games? I posted mine twice, hope you saw it.
>>545411308I have an in house uber driver and Aseprite animator who is in debt to me $300 dollars already.
>>545411308That's basically how id started out but they had a comfy lake house
>>545411491Masters of Doom is one of the greatest books ever written. If you want inspiration, read that book between dev sessions.
>>545396315>dime a dozen 2d pixel-art platformer with mechanics that have been done better in 493482823 other gamesThese people will never learn.
>>545411420Current list
>>545410960Nu uh.Not gonna happen kiddo.
>>545409585Looks unironically boring and retarded. Designed from the ground up for homo man child / troon audience.
>>545411610I don't like the idea of living with other guys. That's why I avoided conscription.
Is that a little better? Tbh I think I prefer when the smoke doesn't hide the explosion effect.
>>545410557I had a religious tradition for awhile where once a year in some month, I'd log in to some website to private message some moderator reminding them I was still active in the community, posting all the time, and they can never ban me because they are actually powerless and never have any power.Mind you, I never actually posted in these communities. I'd just lie and say I was active all the time and still posting a lot. Just to remind them they had no power. I didn't actually waste my time.Moderators cannot STAND being reminded they don't actually have power. Imagine them getting reminded that consistently. Hehe.I'd make a new account, message the mod or post replying to them, and then get immediately banned.Eventually, one even responded with some weird threat towards me.
>>545409585Looks good. Reminds me of Toe Jam & Earl 2 graphics wise.
>>545411668Eyy thanks for putting my game on the list, I'll try to be in chat when you play it!
>>545378338I'm sorry Maid Cafe Coop dev, it's just too valuable of an idea, I need to make it too! It'll be releasing soon after the February 2026 Next Fest, page will be public soon.
>>545411780Try increasing the render priority on the card if you want it to show over the clouds, but I still think it needs to fade out much quicker.
>>545411780Yeah, a little less smoke on the center of explosion, more coming outwards quickly maybe? Here’s my best attempt so far.
is it time for maid cafe likes?
>>545411780That's much better. It's not "hiding the explosion effect". Them, put together, ARE the explosion effect. They are working in tandem to create one effect.
>>545411789No one cares about what happened to you on reddit years ago. It wouldn't be interesting if it had happened yesterday.Do you have a game?
>>545411668Cooking Crabs! with /AGDG/ will be submitted for play. I would love if you added it to the list.
I'm going to make a 2D platformer
>>545412017Based.
>>545411146>I didn't do anything >describes how he fucked with himIm not saying youre at fault, but youre definetly not innocent - theres also no reason you should care about it anyways, most of these people are probably evilIts just kinda low, I dont see the value in it. Reads just like an addiction of some sort+ reddit spacingImagine if Zeus came down from Olympus and started wrestling with some hobo-junkies on the street - Its just not right.>>545409585i really like how it looks, but im not sure about the gameplay. Needs something more special (I cant tell you what, thats the funny part about gamedev)
>>545412123Anon don't steal my million dollar idea
I'm going to make a 5D pong
>>545412254>>545411668Oh, it’s still early too. I’ll put it up on itch within 24 hours if you want to play it on the 7th.
>>545412480WHERE'S THE WEEKLY PATREON VIDEO!?
>>545400165I don't like Bocchis, but >>545400104
>>545411268>Sees unhinged schizophrenic rant>Looks pretty reasonableThis is the continuation. His apology after multiple walls of text this length accusing me of being some weird villain out to get him, and his moderator joining in.It's not reasonable to waste this much time on someone who is like>Yo dude where's the NPC's? I'm a gamdev I know it doesn't take this long.
>>545412605That gives me more motivation to submit a multiplayer demo too. Any of ya’ll doing no nut November too?
>>545411789Kek, legitimately based.Ronny you're my favourite aggy schizo, fygoon wouldn't dare cross you.

I honestly need more studies of cartoon girls, to increase my mental vocabulary and get rid of the generic VN only japanese art feeling.

Ok *cums in your face*. How is my 5 day worth of semen you slut
>>545408996I have itch.io page https://madness-inside.itch.io/dirk-the-adventurer>>545409263You got me anon, that was pretty cool! Normal voice sounds very normal, otehr voices are too over-the-top. You saying "Hello, I'm anonymous!" was the best actually. Since I am still stuck in the 90s I need that low-bitrate compressed noise, like in the Beneath a Steel Sky.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76-C79vxtGc
>>545412039>>545412150I say "explosion" but really it's just meant to be earth kicked up from the ground. The kinetic ammunition is inert. Does that change how you interpret the effect?
>>545406787Smart, especially if Trainwiz can get professional, AAA experienced, multiplayer specialist help for free. I don't think there are all that many specialists with that combination of attributes in the world. I wonder how much help Trainwiz really got, and how far it will really get him, though. Time might tell.>>545407739A lot of yesdevs built a reputation in one way or the other, and, often using or together with that reputation, built a network.
>>545413483Not particularly. If anything it makes the second one even more appropriate.
>>545413374Nice. Looks good. I’ll give that a try when I get a Windows machine up and running again.
>>545412423Cosmicdev, you're talking with the infamous Ronny Redpill. Don't waste your breath, that's one unhinged poster. There were dozens of anons interacting with him and not one was glad to start conversation.https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/search/username/ronny%20redpill/
>>545408216elucidate please
>>545413483I just think the spikey sprite/card looks way too fake and cartoony. If you want it there, it IMO should be fading out immediately. You can also entirely replace it with a particle blast of dirt.
>>545412254Technically submissions are closedBut if there's any extra time on Friday, I'll try to show more.Thanks!
>>545414079Christianity didn’t spread to Europe for the European’s benefit, it did it because the Roman’s wanted Northern Europe’s resources before their technology leaked to the tribes.

>>545411668>My game is not on the list
>>545414008>sprite/card looks way too fake and cartoonyWell I am going for a cartoony artstyle. I appreciate the input anon.
>>545412423>Im not saying youre at fault, but youre definetly not innocentI never said I'm innocent. I just exist. It's not my fault people get triggered when I tell newbies things like>"That's actually pretty easy when you have the skills to do it. Should take a newbie about a week max, but a professional just a day or half day to implement."Then at least one, if not 3+ "professional gamedevs" who are 40-50+ year old "AAA professionals" chime in all triggered raging that i said that, saying stuff that takes hours/days actually takes weeks/months or things that take weeks/months takes years/decades.To which I just reply>Maybe for you it takes that long, but for someone who knows what they're doing, it takes [shorter time].Then they just go ballistic, to which I then post a project, source, screenshot, blog, or if I need to my past work>Here is [ME or Dev X] doing that exact feature the OP requested. It only took them X hours/days, not weeks/months like you said it would.At that point, they always go silent. They rarely ever reply at that point. The irrefutable evidence they are wrong kindof "snaps" and breaks them. I know this is how it works bc it's so easily repeated and consistent among these losers. Imagine how incompetent you must be to be a "AAA veteran" or a "professional" but post on reddit or stackexchange or the unity forums all day, every day, for years. Yea, people who work on games don't have time for that shit lmao.But they don't remain totally silent. They either start to stalk me at that point or they (more commonly) PM me directly the most vile aggressive sometimes violent messages. Stuff they know if they posted would get them banned, but they cannot NOT threaten me or come at me harder bc of how angry it made them to be proven stupid.
>>545414219This sounds like an episode of Stargate, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>545414723I’m talking about 200 years of war with the tribes in the frontier before Rome knew they had to make their move as the Northern Tribes started to advance technologically and unite.
never give up
>>545414872Now post Eric the Rock
>>545414872but i already didnow i'm just focusing on my art to work on other people's games or get commissions
>>545414723I’m talking about how King Arthur was a crypto Jew installed over the native tribes of the British Isles by Roman invaders.
>>545414606>post on reddit or stackexchange or the unity forums all day>people who work on games don't have time for thatthe apple of irony dangles infront of you, yet you do not see it
>>545414867Ok did they also spread Christianity to Ethiopia and along the Silk Road in the 4th century as part of this geopolitical game? They feared the Ethiopians attacking them with 'leaked technology'?You're retarded. Christianity was a 4d Roman psyop that somehow got adopted by Rome themselves and then outlasted their empire, what bizarre pagan cope.>>545415179There are like 10 people who the legend of King Arthur could have been based on. He wasn't a real person, dipshit.

>>545416934saved
>>545415483I don't post on any of these places. This was all an extremely long time ago when I had tons of free time to do both my game and waste my life away and STILL have tons of free time.I haven't posted on any website but this one in the past ... well almost a decade now.So yes, you are retarded actually. You and your weird fruit analogy. But since it's not a hamburger analogy citing "Freedom Fries" as some part of a 50lb per plate meal, I will allow it.
>>545416934omg hi bocchi
If you post e-celebs in the Amateur Game Development General you're a faggot. Also Fygoon is always right.
>>545416937this is more like 1989 than 1999
>>545416506I have already exchanged munitions with those folks, we’re square. We can just have jihadis.
>>545416937Caves of Qud was a massive disappointment.>You can be a Water Trader!I was expecting to be a Water Trader. Then I learned that being a "Water Trader" just meant being a Combat Warrior with 10% better deals at merchants.Massive disappointment to learn this game's "deep complex systems" is just 100000 ways to do combat. When paired with incoherent graphics and horrible UX so as to consume all your real life time just moving in slow motion in order to do more combat, let's just say I was extremely disappointed.
>>545417125Ronny any progress on your game?
>>545417229>If you post e-celebs in the Amateur Game Development General you're a faggot.Trvthnuke>Also Fygoon is always right.Kill yourself.

>>545414867>>545415652selfposts
>>545417353I don't care about Fygoon, I just posted that to annoy the Eric schizo. I scroll past his garbage e-celeb posts more than Fygoon's Alice spam so I dislike him more.
>>545416158high strength stat grants him intimidation skill, it works in combat situations but will also give additional dialogue options with NPCs eventually
>>545417487me, the bocchi of gamedev - talented but with social anxiety is bocchi (me)
>>545417389pic not related
>>545416061The nun cannot be defeated in cannon, that's why if the player gets a game over screen, they get the yamcha pose.
imagine /agdg/ but without the e-celeb worshipper, that pink hair tranime spammer and actual gamedev progress being posted
>>545417059So you want enough visual fidelity that you can't just fall back on simple symbol-based graphics and leave it to the human imagination to do the heavy lifting... but not enough visual fidelity to actually look good.The scale and scope of a game probably depends more on the ease at which an individual dev can add content. In a 3d game even with simplistic graphics you have a lot more to worry about than in a top-down game. It's not the fidelity of the graphics that's the bottleneck, it's the 3d medium itself.
>>545417937i look like this
im going to a games expo on friday
>Look up cartoon art>Clearly american cartoon artists seem to lack even the most basic drawing fundamentals that mediocre japanese artist know
>>545417329>and just like that, ronny stopped posting after this one questionits always funny when that happens
>>545417937Ah you're back. I made this for you earlier.
>>545418189cris are you insulting cartoonists or japanaese artists
rape cris
>>545417937what are you talking about, there's ton of progress today, everybody is crunching for DD
lovingly embrace and pleasure cris
>>545418302I mean, cartoon artists don't care about learning basic shit like anatomy.
>>545417327>Massive disappointment to learn this game's "deep complex systems" is just 100000 ways to do combatThis is a very difficult thing to avoid in my experience. Games revolve around conflict. And what should the source of adversity be? Things like dehydration, starvation, hypothermia are EXTREMELY boolean and boring:You either have know how to get fresh water or you die.>inb4 cata is fun scavenging for cans of tunaBut is walking a character from house-to-house in an empty world fun?No. It's fun because there are ZOMBIES you have to avoid. Without combat the food-scarcity is meaningless.
>>545418280>only one person dislikes my ritualpostsYou are schizophrenic and autistic Chris-chan style if you believe that.
>>5454180621) I like the visuals on older games often more than the visuals on modern games 2) Deus Ex was made by 20 people. A modern version of Deus Ex would take like 300 people and 3 outsourcing studios for the art. Visual fidelity matters a lot when it comes to how much content you are able to produce. (and I don't understand how someone making a game could actually argue otherwise?) John Romero shat out a new Doom level every couple days but the modern equivalent would take 4 months of work and a dozen people.
>>545418109You live in Norway?
>>545418727nei....
I find a lot of games get fucky when they start in full screenIs setting the game to windowed by default the right move?
>>545418879Busted! I will try to find you at SpillExpo
>>545417329Yes and No.Yes in that I'm now closer than ever.No in that life as a gamedev is a never-ending hopeless despair. Never enough time, even when I have all the time in the world.On a positive note, I'm about to run out of money to fund my free lifestyle, so this final game is my last gambit. It's either this succeeds and I get a long career in the industry, or this fails to sell or fails to release and it's a permanent graveyard of abandoned projects with not a single one ever seeing the light of day as I choose a new career.Once I'm out of money, it's finally over and I can no longer pretend like it's a viable career. This next one HAS to be successful financially. Otherwise I'm cooked. It's a bit scary gambling your entire life on a dream, but it's finally here. In the past it was just a hobby I never had any real time for, but I lost my job so now it's everything.I'm pretty much alone in it though. Which makes it really hard. But I saw a meme the other day that really brightened my mood and gave me some much needed hope.The polished amazing looking end result is what kindof kills me. What must be done to be financially successful, to be a great game, but what is overwhelming due to all the moving parts that all need fine tuning and polish. The idea I should instead just start focusing on making an ugly but fully complete game first, and just make it look good later, is a huge boon for me. It's helpful bc I am a perfectionist. That's a huge problem for me. I am almost autistic in how perfect I want everything to be, so I always end up making either super amazing technical achievements you cannot even see (like a fully complete, bug free open world survival game framework similar to that of a MMO) or a super thin vertical slice that is meaningless on its own.The idea I can actually COMPLETE a game 100% in full, and THEN after it's totally finished go in and make it look beautiful, polish the UI & UX, polish the animation transitions, etc.
>>545418949I think so, or if not a splash screen where you can change it first.

>>545419028Ronny I'm not up to speed on your lore. Do you have a publisher or are you rawdogging this onto Steam?What did you do to fund this initially, crypto gains / inheritance?
I tried using s&box and man that's fuckin' rough. Not a single good game on that giant piece of shit and the few that sound interesting require people to play and literally nobody is playing the damn game. At most I've seen like 12 people online and they're all playing time wasters like pizza clicker. How is this game so incredibly dead, I know it's not officially out but all you have to do is sign up.
I maded a deus ex clone. Nobody boughted buyered boughting bouded it. It's over.
>>545419645Good riddens you drunk retard

And I'm always honest.Do you always make sure to fabricate hero fantasies in your head where all your villains are these incompetent clumsy villains that always hand you an easy win? You're the chosen one right?
>>545419973You should cut a special 10 minute demo with some cool shit for the /agdg/ demo day, you have almost 5 days to submit.
>>545419973this looks good, is this your game?
>>545420138>>545419645Oh, wrong post. I thought that was his Desu Ex clone.
>retards on /agdg/ don't know about core decayGrim... But I suppose that's why they shill Peripeteia so much.
>>545417125>waste my life away and STILL have tons of free time
>>545419973This looks great is the game's name Core Decay?
>>545420387I haven’t played any of you children’s slop since Hollow Knight released. I had a job.
>>545420138>>545420303>>545420510I wish niggas. That's Core Decay on Steam. An abandonware.
>>545420538Hollow Knight was pretty good for a Cave Story clone, they should have wrote it in C and not Unity so I could run it on potato collection though.
>>545419309No, that would be stupid. You should never follow the current hype of the day. If you want to chase trends like that, you have to begin developing the MOMENT the trend BEGINS. So on the FIRST DAY that Vampire Survivors got more than 1000 reviews, you should have been starting your clone.It actually takes years, sometimes decades, for the clones to come out. But they always eventually do.Trends are on rapid speed though. It took half a decade or more for Stardew Valley clones to pop up everywhere. A huge delay for some reason. But Vampire Survivor clones popped up in the hundreds almost immediately. That's why trend chasers HAVE to begin on DAY 1 if they wanna do that.But I hate that shit. Chasing trends is the weakest dumbest most pandering shit you could do. Soulless.I make innovative games that you cannot get anywhere else. Stuff never seen before. That's why it's always so hard for me to get them up and running. By the time I finally have something playable and it's over the biggest hurdles, I decide "This is too big in scope. I need to reduce scope and start over." I did this for years. In fact over a decade, actually. Huge mistake. If I had stuck with my grand epic MMO I started with 20 years ago I'd have finished it and several other games, ironically. It's the whole advice of "Reduce Scope, so you can actually finish something!" That killed me. I kept taking this over and over until my games were insanely small in scope and still awesome, but it took abandoning absolutely viable overscoped projects over and over.To the point where I missed out on tons of markets, and eventually games started coming out that were similar enough to mine to threaten innovation. Threaten it, not rival it. But it's almost inevitable that eventually someone does what I planned on in some of my games. I think a few of them even saw people with their own versions. Not as good as what I had, but still good while I was on my next "reduced scope" project.
>writing an entire novel
If a game doesn’t run on my 1000mhz Pentium III, I usually snub my nose at it.
>>545420390When you're single and have no kids, you have infinite free time. I worked 2 full time jobs, gamedev'd on the side, learned how to program and do art, watched tons of movies, played tons of games and life sucking MMO's, AND STILL had so much freetime I was bored as shit enough to post online.When I got married, it didn't really change. I just did all that with my wife, while also fucking every day.It's when you become responsible for children that suddenly not only do you have real meaning in your life, but you also have negative freetime to the point where even a single job is too much, let alone all that extra stuff. It's a better life, but for gamedev it cripples you even when it's your full time job. Your efficiency with children even when you only do a single thing will be reduced by 50%, at least.
>>545420794>I make innovative games that you cannot get anywhere else. Stuff never seen before. That's why it's always so hard for me to get them up and running. You make games? Since when? Anything concrete to show?You're my favorite schizo because you're basically cris with an even bigger ego, even less progress, a slightly better command of English, and even more insane delusions of grandeur paired with moments of depressive clarity.

>>545420075I bow down to you o mighty Ronald, I was led astray since your Don't Starve clone was nowhere to be found on DD and has been abandoned for years, YEARS! Alas now I believe you, since you provided me with this one clumsy jpeg that could easily be sourced form dozens of X posts, but I digress! You've been granted immunity till the end of this thread, but beware! As DemoDay comes near I demand you to join it and upload your demo! In case you choose not to you'll be branded a new nickname, not a redpill ronny, but a ronny nodev

And those were finishable, just intimidating due to being potentially unbearably boring when considering thickness.

>>545420075uh oh... stinky
>>545421629no one knows this game unc
>>545421309>You make games? Since when? Anything concrete to show?I've literally posted 3-4 of my games in the past. I don't understand why tourists get so confused when I used to post them all the time just to shut you losers up. I even did an extensive explanation for a webm, detailing every second of it and what it entailed when developing it and why the 3-4 minute video took 3-4 months to develop due to all the complex code behind the scenes.>even more insane delusions of grandeur paired with moments of depressive clarity.That's a bit of an oxymoron, don't you think? I'm somehow this villain strawman who both has the grandest of delusions but is also totally sane and understands exact reality (the opposite of a delusion)? Okay. You ppl are weird in how you obsess over ecelebs.
You have to bd pretty dumb to be dazzled by the opengl triangle. You know whst thats called? Its called s polygon. 2bs ass has 300,000 of them.
Would anyone know how to add procedural generation in Twine/Sugarcube? Im pretty new to this stuff, but I would like my game to have unique characters my players can keep meeting, and Ive seen it done before with goonslop like Freecities.
Does anyone need a Steam key for Aseprite? Post your progress from today here, then I send it to you on Discord.
>>545421493>your Don't Starve clone was nowhere to be found on DD and has been abandoned for years, YEARS!Correct. I stopped developing that game a loooong time ago. It ironically was the one I would have finished by 2018, fully polished and all maybe with expansions. Instead, I reduced scope to chase after a "super small game" that can be complete in 1-3 months. That led to me needing to "reduce scope" over and over again, until it's now 2025. I hate the fact I followed that advice to "reduce scope" and "make games more feasible".Don't be like me. It's a trap. Pick one game, and just finish it. It doesn't matter if you overscope it. It doesn't matter if it will take you X years. Just stick to it, and you will finish it. This idea you need to reduce scope to get things done is the biggest trap you will ever hear. It's enticing advice, but it's all a lie.Maybe reduce scope once. Once. Never do it anymore than a single time after your initial vision was too grand. Never more than once. Ever. Or stick to your grand vision bc that can see fruition the same as any game can if you put in the time and dont stop to "start over" or "reduce scope".
>>545421984Speaking of.. I've noticed more gamedevs moving to trying out making their own engine because *cough* definitely not AI helping them massively. But I digress. Here's an optimization which could help for example post-processing shaders and more.https://wallisc.github.io/rendering/2021/04/18/Fullscreen-Pass.html
ronny nodev
This is all my fault. I caused all of this. I take full responsibility for everything wrong with this place and the internet as a whole. I'm sorry.
Holy shit there's so much to do!But I have a LIST! Lists are great, especially to-do lists. I like to order them easiest-to-hardest and get some easy wins to get the ball rolling.My enthusiasm is somewhat deflated by knowing that even if I make the game exactly the way I want and implement everything perfectly, my chances of success are still slim. This is my third game so I'm not harboring illusions that it's some amazing game idea that I have to worry about someone stealing.I'm also demoralized by knowing how much more work is needed. New devs have no idea which is a good thing because a lot of them would give up if they knew.I wish I had the enthusiasm and naivete of a new dev with skills of an experienced dev.
>>545416710it was published by devolver, barely even indie at this point
I just discovered americans can only understand doing something if they will be paid for it.Like americans can't understand helping a random person on the street, or learning something like music composition or drawing if there's not a potential way to make money of it.100% all the discurssions about sales or reviews or making money on steam, are 100% americans.
>>545422741Only the people who have been homeless get it.
>>545422405Correct. I've worked in gamedev for almost 20 years now. I have tons of skills. I have tons of graveyard projects. Some I should probably even pick up and finish, bc that'd actually be a great idea considering how much work I put in before abandoning them to "reduce scope" to "just get something released".I hate that I did this. I literally would have finished 3-4+ massively successful games and own my own full studio, raking in endless millions and hiring full teams to do all kinds of work, if I had just STUCK TO THE FIRST FUCKING GAME AFTER I REDUCED SCOPE THE FIRST FUCKING TIME.The first time I ever reduced scope was a good call. The second time wasn't even that bad either, considering hte game was a "Clone" of another game and innovated in design and implementation rather than systems. But every time after that was horrible. A horrible horrible idea. I should have stuck with my second or third game. The second game being the one that came into existence after I "reduced scope" on my epic solodev AAA MMORPG using Unity 2 or Torque3D.

>>545422390Honestly I came in at the wrong time ;_; I made my own engine aswell entirely by myself but no one would believe me, they'd think I just used AI help. But most of my programming sessions I'm not even connected to the internet.

>>545422741So turdworlders like you don't care about pumping out AI generated waifu simulators for a crumb of cash, at all? The entire turd world just does everything out of pure passion and love for the art?Please, Cris. Sometimes I think you are verging on a tiny bit of self awareness, then you go and post shit like this.
>>545422741That's because the USA is a hellscape of brutality and violence. It's an excessively cruel nation fueled by sociopathic people, brainwashed into a blooddrinking death cult and death economy.It's literally a nation fueled by death and terror, which celebrates death and terror, and glorifies death and terror. Killing little children overseas is seen as an altruistic heroic thing, especially during the height of 9/11 hysteria circa ~2000.Now we have Hitler level Gestapo attacking our own citizens, politicians and thugs defying courts and laws, and that was after decades of a legal system that oppressed and hated 99% of the people. One that even allowed corporations like Chevron to privately imprison citizens without any due process. It was bad under Biden just like it is under Trump. There has never been a good president. It's a nation founded on the blood of children, and we cannot even tell who our true masters are - whether it is israel or israel serves us. Because the USA are bloodthirsty child killers the same as Israel is, so it's all indistinguishable. It's one big uniparty that rules us, and they threaten to literally mass murder us if we ever step out of line.In fact in the 1960's citizens actually began to organize to counter the fascism and oppression. What did they do? They literally brutally murdered them. American citizens on american soil, just brutally shot in the head while they're asleep without any legal process. No punishment for the murderers. No investigation. They just brutally murdered everyone like they did in the past when they tried to organize against power.So yea, everything Americans talk about is framed around money. Because if you don't have money, you die. The ruling class here would literally eat your children and make you watch for giggles if they thought they could get away with it without hassle.All of the dystopian classic literature and half the episodes of Black Mirror is basically just "This is the USA."

after five and a half weeks of figuring out how to do this, I've finally done it.if someone using windows 11 plays my game, it will immediately crash and change all installed web browsers' home page to a google search for Linux distros.if someone tries playing again, it will start downloading either Pop!

>>545409585high quality, awesome juice. Game kinda reminds me of Rocket Knight Adventures I woudn't lock the arena for two enemies, I think I'd bombard the player with 10-12 quick to dispatch enemies instead of juggling two, it might be annoyng if it happens too often. That one foreground fence is in the middle of the fight I recommend making it transparent the moment you're about to touch it.
>>545425808It is editor tool to generate the dialogue easily.
>>545423694what animes actually exemplify this?even the most basic harem/isekai shit shows a bit of anatomy, despite reusing a generic anime art stylebut those shows never reach dragon ball/sailor moon levels of popularity anywayyou have to look for them, just to use them as examples of something bigger than it actually ismeanwhile, modern western cartoons made for/by "ya" people now copy anime and look much worseyou sure you're not mixing up "my adventures with superman" or she-ra with anime?it's like you and fygoon are trying to bring back the same kind of meme opinions that somethingawful guys had in 20's and now those very same guys trooned outall you're missing is the "wow every jrpg is about killing god with the power of friendship" which is like the wilhelm scream of japanese media opinions online>>545424720minecraft or do games that are no longer indie don't count?
>>545416710i'm almost convinced these games are psyops of the gambling industry or some sort of brainrot process over humanity. I simply can't find these games fun
>>545411845>>545412423>>545426505Thanks!the camera lock screen spawn enemy waves, so it starts off low and then theres more enemies spawning at once. Eventually harder areas will start off with higher amount of enemies.
literally who game dev / Software Engineer who fucking hates his job right now. I always lurk AGDG and Been slowly making a game in my spare time on the days where I don't feel like a zombie.Its supposed to just be a bunch of in jokes and references to my work as a way to cope. I've got a decent work event system going that drives my items triggeringbut I'm noticing that the deeper I go into this the more I'm absolutely dogshit at art and shaders and its really holding me back.I wanted to get this out for demo days at least to get real feedback on how the game play feels while I look into different projects to get better at the art side of game development.
>>545427895Nice, you need Aseprite?

>>545440747>799MhzIs that as fast as that baby purrs? What kind of VGA muscle we got hiding under that hood? You have license for that serial port?

>>545440986cris realism is here?
>>545441167I just cant believe it he released s demo after 11 years. What does this mean for this timeline?
When I get paid $20s of bills from my game, I’m buying a new in box PNY Verto GeForce 2 MX. It’s only fair, I stole the first one I got from Walmart.
>>545441407he's had demos out several times
>>545441358yeah, I think I need to actually learn realistic 2D painting.
>>545441507We need more games that look like this.
>>545441429Plug that baby into a nice small CRT, I’ll go through so many dev diapers.
>>545441283The godot editor is not that good though. Copying/duplicating a line has input lag
>>545440986Its not good. The outline is wobbly and the orange is not like an actual eye. I suggest you use software for wobbly lines and pay attention to details.>saving pictures on the iphone is ass
>>545441773>Lookin' Good!
>>545440581Ok.I tried running it through wine but couldn't get past blue screen with the title. I'll wait.
>>545440030>still no marketing
>>545441932That looks ugly compared to the realism work of a real master.If you want to get gud at painting, study from the old masters (or any master that you like) and try to understand HOW they achieved certain results.
>>545441932you're literally comparing an analogue painting with one made using Krita.>>545442179I want to get that impasto look, but still unsure how you get impasto with Krita.
>>545441984Who needs marketing when you have agglydaggly?>>545441935Mead Schaeffer and Dean Cornwell are top tier when it comes to American Illustrations.
>>545441954Yeah this 001 verison had a lot of bugs im fixing quickly anyway im glad im testing it with friends 24 hours before demoday!
>>545434121Can AI turn this pic into a game? Or can it only do generic shooters?
Welcome to the indie candy store.

>>545442179>Can AI turn this pic into a game?
>>545442975I look like this.
>>545442658Its probably some lame prompt thing that could of been done with if else
>>545443157>could of been
>>545442428I'm impressed by your ability to always post when the thread is about to reach bump limit.
>progressspecial resources (clay, grapes, olives, iron etc) can now be improved to produce trade goods (ceramics, wine, olive oil, arma) to trade within your own cities or setup trade routes to other civs. resources have harvest seasons and are impacted by weather, for example a wet spring and dry summer improves the quality of wine.i was hoping to submit to DD65 but things are still in too rough a state, the game is playable but the tutorialization for the player is nonexistant. maybe i should submit though just for the lulz, watch streamers try to figure out how it even works?
>>545443314>maybe i should submit though just for the lulz, watch streamers try to figure out how it even works?of course, DD is not about finished games...
New thread>>545443823>>545443823
>>545440986Do people have caruncles like that? I've never seen it like that before. But I am impressed by your painting, nice color variety across the skin.
