I just realized I can code a gacha pity system, to be triggered using something like a drummer beats, to trigger emergent higher gameplay loops. like wtf.

not a fan of this OP. but I guess it's educational for those who haven't seen this 10000 times already
1-5 bug fixin'6-9 feature implementin'0 "market research"
How do you manage scene/scenes in a video game engine like Unity or Unreal?I mean in code, not in editor.What are the use cases for multiple scenes? Are they a meme?
>>546129364what happened to the ops from a decade ago?I'm gonna work for videogames!

>>546129475I don't know.OP, you had one jobthe previous thread is this>>546018142you just copy pasted. you're fired.
Do you know any DirectX debugger that would let me force wireframe rendering in commercial video games?I want to see triangles to steal their techniques and algorithms.
>>546129556anons will look up reviews then choose the correct answer just so they can keep believing they can tell if a game will be successful or not.
>>54612955634/38I'm so good at this I lost confidence in my game.. and the games of my brothers here. we have nothing. the enemy is too strong

>>546129364Me neither. I think it is an overly salty and not really educational piece.>Counts the refunded and other parts to the gross so he can say 400k when the truth is much lower>in reality the steam 30% comes out first before any taxes>there are legal bits for dual taxation between the US and the UK>Adds student loans expenses to it to make it seem even lessSo the guy is both a twat, and loser who have been double-scammed by both governments.
>>546128864NTA but when these AI agents were relatively new I tried one and it spat out code that mixed language-specific syntax. I also tried one recently, it gave me code it called "100% perfect" and it had a editor-crashing bug in it, I pointed this out and the AI doubled-down and started lying like a battered wife. It kept lying even when I shower it the manual. It continued lying until I told it that everyone makes mistakes, and then it admitted it failed initially. I don't confer with AI anymore.
>>546128931>>546129364This OP has been megadebonked by true GabeCHAD Steamies.
>>546130097>not really educational piece.that's what I mean, the comments that follow this image are what make it educational
Do you feel it?
>>546130507Fair enough.
>>546124654>>546126575Thanks bros.Gonna fix some more bugs you anons found then get started on Steam achievements. Here's a selection of the chievos I'm gonna add:All Sales Final - Buy out the entire shopNow I Know My ABCs - Buy 26 tiles in a single runWh Nds Vwls? - Play a word with no vowelsMaster Wordsmith - Play a 10+ letter wordThe Quadfather - Play 4 words in 1 turnRepetition Legitimizes - Play the same word 5 times in 1 runThe 1% - Amass $100Iambic Pentameter - Win a round with 5 of Shakespeare’s plays
If mean chuds, if the emergent loop being activated by the fixed pity wins of the inner gameplay loops, this basically could be clasifiied as a singular musical loop bar.So basically we can design the flow of the game using these musical gameplay bars, instead of the traditional winning and losing condition.So, let's say your game last 32 of these musical bars.Then your game doesn't have a fixed lenght, like using a timer.But neither it needs a victory or losing game over condition.It only needs to reach eventually to the musical bar 32 or 16 for the composition to end.So this mean, a very skilled speedrunner could theorically end the game much much faster than a casual player.But this means the game is guaranteed to end because of the guaranteed pity wins.

>>546131236You're not gonna want to hear it but the answer is AI
>>546131220did you stay up overnight or recently wake up?

>>546131434what numbers
>>546131663good approach
>>546131782Something like the score you have to reach in Balatro, Nubby, or some number go up game
>>546131434Represent numbers as e-notation strings and parse them into small numbers to do mathPlayer does 2.45e8 damage, the enemy has 2.2e8 hp.parse the string into exponent and coefficient if player_damage_coefficient >= enemy_hp_coefficient and player_damage_exponent >= enemy_hp_exponent: enemy.die() Numbers still go up, game still works, everybody's happy.
>>546131828danke
gonna take it easy todayand then do a lot of hard work tomorrowand then take a small breakand finish my game
>>546131663I wrote a rude thing, but with this I realize you are just trying to get better, and couldn't read the room well as you are inexperienced. have fun making it better
going to just record my mic and showing off the gameplay features and then have that video at the top of the description, what's a good editor for stitching all the clips together in? i don't need to edit the videos or anything just stitch the clips together for a youtube upload
What went wrong?
>>546131986This might actually work, or at least extend endless mode until it's so long it doesn't matter. Thanks
i give up, i cant fix this

>>546132323bump, anyone knows?
>>546133032Music more than any other skill in gamedev is very dependent on your equipment (both software and instruments). And it's also very expensive to buy good VSTs.

>>546133375It's weird at first because is mixing the pity wins of gacha with gameplay loops and emergent system design, but also mixed the concept with the beat concepts of drummers but also a victory point using board game design.I don't think someone has ever thought about this concept before.

Just make sure progressive slot with stupid low odds for the jackpot. Then eventually itll be like 3 million jackpot and everyone will play and actually grt excited.
>>546133246I deboonked the op image in the last thread >>546055691Showing a screencap of a reddit post which is actually just an anecdote from one retard with poor financial planning all in a deliberate attempt upset and demoralize people, and then disingenuously wonder why "schizos" get "triggered" by telling you that it's bullshit.In contrast nortubel and fortite ops aren't attempting to blackpill anyone so why would people get upset about them?You're severely mentally ill and a faggot. Get a life.

He couldn't get his AI to do Godot, so he tried something JS, which it's best at, but didn't get far with that either before giving up. Turns out, you can't even use AI with dalit verbal IQ and not knowing any technical terms. Two days into his AI game project and he's already burnt out, given up, and back to shitposting.

Go work in food delivery.I'm usually one of the pro-AI posters, but you're an embarrassment to the cause. AI is currently good at producing high volumes of slop within an established formula, but it's not a replacement for skills that you lack. You still need to be educated in how to do the tasks you wish for it to perform, or you won't be able to explain to the AI what you want it to do.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1586230/Jogward/this is a good game that i think sold poorly because it lacked an appealing narrative which prevents players from feeling motivated to complete the game, upgrades were too slow, the graphics aren't bad, but the lack of color makes the game feel bland, and the difficulty increased too rapidlyit also lacked any promotion whatsoever it seemsi believe this is a good game made by a competent developer who failed to achieve effective promotion and fulfill the required accessibility standards to appeal to a larger audiencethis could serve as a lesson, possibly>explicit end goal, clear end state to achieve>easy gameplay, low friction>rapid upgrades, frequent stimulationalong with the obvious>stronger promotion

Can someone explain to me how inheriting from a base class works when you have a novel characteristic you want to add.For example, units inherit from the base unit class with move speed, health, range etc. but I want this one inheriting unit to have the ability to transport others.Does the base class need transport = false added to everybody inheriting from unit now or can I just add it on the new guy? I feel like it's the first one

>>546141731Bing "composition vs inheritance"
>>546141731Inheritance is retarded
aesthetic and utility are directly correlated
>It’s so much easier in C. >This is a struct of an entity.>Give me enough memory to put this somewhere and return a pointer so I can modify it later.>destroy that entity and return the memory to the pool
this is a good enough game to have achieved greater success provided minor changes
>>546141731don't do number changes like health/range/speed/has_ability with inheritance.With inheritance you put the transport ability on the new unit (not the base unit)If you want to do health/range/speed/has_ability, then do megastructs. Every unit is the exact same data type, just has a bunch of has_ability flags. no inheritance needed.

>>546142678>>546142536I... already fixed it
>>546142163Simplicity
If your game is single player only, it should be doable in 3 months, if you have been working on your game for over a year, its already over
>>546141975>>546142443Okay see I was going to just make every unit have its own script and copy the same shit if it needs to be repeated. Is that really so bad? Everywhere I read it says it'll ruin my life IRL and it's such a big deal. Theres only a handful of different units.This is why its nice to have Aggy because if you look up programming help online you get this perfectionist ultra modular shit that results in going down some rabbit hole instead of jlmg
>>546142831
>>546143138>only a handfulthen just bruteforce it yeah. only matters to be really efficient when its about scale.
>>546142831Even with a six-sigma process, you still depend on luck because there is a non-zero chance of failure. You either succeed or you don't, so it's basically fifty-fifty. Might as well buy a lottery ticket.
>>546143042>doable in 3 monthsthis is meaningless. 3 months could be 250 hours or 900 hours.

>>546143898@gork
>>546144109That's way too many. If I have to repeat anything more than like twice I abstract it out. If you find a bug in your code you're going to have to change 30 classes to fix it. Do you want to do that?
>>546142831Dumb test. The offered numbers are too far apart. If you didn't hear about the game, then you can discard both choices over 20k reviews. If it looks decent, you can disregard the single-digit number. And given how few Steam games get to 1000 reviews, you can choose the double digit choice and be correct almost every time.I'd select games that have up to 1000 reviews and then offer choices like 0-20, 20-100, 100-300, 300-600, and 600-1000.

>>546143662>do you know much better the odds are for making it with your game than winning the lotteryconvert hours invested in a game to what you'd earn if you worked as a wagie. then convert that money to number of lottery tickets you can buy. then compare the winnings you'd have vs what your game is likely to earn.so let's say you worked 500 hours on your game, that's equivalent to 3 months full time. if you were a Javascript codemonkey, that would be $30k. you can buy a lot of lottery tickets for that money. and you don't have to win the powerball to win way more than a 500 hour game is likely to earn.

>>546139691>AGDG told me anime actually reduces appealThat's cope from crabs and failed devs whose shit taste doesn't reflect the market. Anime and manga make a shitton of money nowadays, as do anime games. The manga section in my country's largest bookstore chain sells so much better than everything else that they keep having to completely rearrange their stores just to accomodate the ever-growing manga sections (yes, sections plural). Hobbyist shops out here pick up gunpla and find they're the fastest-selling model kits in the store. Supposedly the Fate franchise of all things has somehow made more money in two decades than Batman has in over eight.It's not a visual style that every single person on the planet likes, but it has been globally successful for several decades now. Saying that it "reduces appeal" is like smugly saying that putting peanut butter on toast reduces the appeal of bread. Yeah, there's some people who have an allergic reaction to peanut butter, but there's also a huge amount of people out there who love it and greatly prefer toast with peanut butter to toast without it, and the companies which sell peanut butter make a huge amount of money off that preference even if it's a subset of all the people worldwide who eat bread.

If you like playing the lottery, then of course you can make 20 games and hope that one is a hit. But you can also try to learn and get a better chance to win.There's no pattern in dice rolls, but there's a pattern in human decision making. Therefore it can be understood.

The thing I hate about modern art learning is, and why I think so many suffer is because it's framed in this pathway like you need to master line art before you even know how to draw. It's working backwards and it's obviously frustrating. The average person won't be able to learn like that and will filter them hard. But art is ultimately just a trained skill.I would argue that learning embedded programming or electronics like microcontrollers or even just being an electrician or plumber is far harder to learn than art because fucking up in art isn't that bad. But I can't really sit here and say anyone can learn art cause it's just a skill like anything else while not actually having any other skills. So I've decided to learn C/C++. I think line art is actually terrible. Like learn how to sketch first, and actually sketch not this construction nonsense. Construction work only after you know art, because it's basically like doing math you show your work. Even if you can do calculus in your head can you solve a multi part word problem all in your head and just write down the perfect answers? Art is like that except you're doing it form basically numerical guessing through intuition hundreds of times to get millimeter accuracy. If you actually want to do art from construction you need to have very good geometry and use precise tools like a compass and ruler. That's not really easy or fun. So once again something that's supposed to make art easier is actually making it harder.You might be wondering then why are these shilled as THE way to learn? Because the people telling you this are just artist trying to grift you not art teachers. Cause the reality is much more boring. It's why you always hear this: just draw.Last thread I gave a step by step guide on how to actually just draw. With that plan you can be drawing good stuff in weeks! Now if any skilled c/c++ programmers have advice for me, I'd like to hear it.

>>546148845In James Hague's Optimization in the Twenty-First Century, he offers the following advice:>Get rid of the code you didn't need to write in the first place.>Early programming courses emphasize writing lots of code, not avoiding it, and it's a hard habit to break. The first program you ever wrote was something like "Hello World!" It should have looked like this:>Hello world!>There's no code. I just typed "Hello world!" Why would anyone write a program for that when it's longer than typing the answer? Similarly, why would anyone compute a list of prime numbers at runtime--using some kind of sieve algorithm, for example--when you can copy a list of pre-generated primes? There are lots of applications out there with, um, factory manager caching classes in them that sounded great on paper, but interfacing with the extra layer of abstraction is more complex than what life was like before writing those classes. Don't write that stuff until you've tried to live without it and fully understand why you need it.

suffering in gamedev is mostly caused by ignorance. mainly people ignoring their limitations. nobody forces you to make a game, therefore it's your own choice. and if you choose to do something you can't you, then suffering is self-induced.e.g. if you choose to make a game that needs 300 high quality 3D assets with animations and you know you can't do it, but you make that your goal anyways, then it's your own fault for running against the wall.if people would work on games they KNOW they can make, they'd stop suffering.

I think I now understand how to design a game to be basically unsolvable by computers.Basically imagine the game is two players competing to sell more T-shirts.One player goal is to sell more red T-shirts and the other is blue T-shirts.But the game has 3 systems that interact using probabilistic gameplay loops like gathering the raw materials, then crafting the materials, then paying taxes and then like selling the T-shirts to npcs.But at the same time, both players have to like exchange items in these loops to get materials and items you need but also exchange them for items and materials you have.Eventually all items and materials are important for a clear strategy in the rules, but that strategy has a clear counter strategy, like RPS layers of counter strategies arranged in a graph of triangular relationships.
>>546150921Is that what's upsetting the ziggers?
>>546151027not trying to obsess about definitions here, but if something takes too long, i wouldn't really include it as something you "can" do, unless you wanna get obsessive what the word "can" means.

But yet isn't 3 times more expensive. Has an astronomical 2% WLRR (Wishlist to Review Rate) Blargis aka Retargis seriously thought his game dev youtube channel would convert 100k wishlists into 100k copies sold.Bro got a 0.1% WLRR and quit his job over wishlists...OVER WISHLISTSQUIT HIS JOBBYFOR A HOBBYTeam cherry is a 3 person team with a 20 times better WLRR. And that's not even actual copies. According to google Retargis sold around 9k copies, and silksong sold an estimate of 4-6 million. So WLRR isn't even the full effect it's really just a Theta generatorThat's about 500 times more. Even if we cut the revenue in half over bullshit like steam cut and taxes that's still like 60 million dollars compared to 70k3 times more more commitment doesn't seem to pop up anywhere? Why?Well entropy. It take energy to order matter, that's why even the most efficient chips will heat up and room temo super conductors are just a wet dream. Well entropy is actually a universal law and it applies in game dev too. 3 times more energy was just needed for the level of detail team cherry wanted for their vision. It was just a universal debt it didn't actually have direct causal effects on their game's success. Retargis is like a terrible cpu that melts itself, he took a bunch of energy and premature ejac'd all other the place wasting it for a shitty hot spicy diarrhea output. 90% of game devs do that. At blargis' terrible energy conversion to reproduce a product quality as silk song it would probably take like 20+ years. would you but at 160
openfront.io is a perfect example how an abstract game can attract thousands of players.

Game dev challenge. 4 years of work in 1 year.
>>546151417too long is also vague and arbitrary. it's reasonable to work 4 years on a game if that game becomes Stardew Valley but not if it becomes Banquet for Fools.
it often feels like indie devs do not want to learn. they only want to complain, but not improve. like they complain gamedev being too much work, but they don't want to scope down.i get that you don't want boomer tier advice that doesn't work, but being resistant to any form of progress and learning is just self-harm and i really don't get it. every normal being should be interested in how to achieve goals better.
>3 years of development for 1 reviewgrim
>>546151810How about 1 year of work in 4 years instead?
>>546151850>it's reasonable to work 4 years on a gameis it? do you want to sit 4 years on a big gamble? is it really reasonable? ask yourself. i personally wouldn't want to take that risk. and even more important, i can't even afford to do that for 4 years. so it is out of my limitations. i "can" not do that.tldr: i'm not eric barone, i don't have his circumstances, his skills, his taste, his interests and also not his luck. just because 4 years was ok for him, it might not be for me.

i'll drop my game idea here, cause i wont make it.hexagon grid based survival game where each tile is a resources, a camp, hunting territory, cave etc. - the camp can be upgraded, but the upgrades aren't on the map, but in the menu of the camp, like workstations, campfire, stockpile etc. - depending on the map size it could also involve tech trees, characters having needs (bed, cloth etc.) and maybe even turn into fantasy (gems, crafting, mythical creatures roaming the map)why did i think it's a good idea? cause nobody mixed survival with "abstract" strategy/hexagon movement. i was undecided if it should be real-time or round-based. cause real-time might be good if you want to turn it into somewhat of an idle game.

The problem for me isn't scoping down. I've learned how to do it, and I have a few ideas that can be easily finishified. The problem is marketing, specifically promotion, community outreach and community building etc. There's just no good way to reach an audience anymore, unless you're willing to worm your way into some tranny discord for years, which is not something I can do.And no, posting devlogs and e-mailing youtubers and streamers isn't helpful, mainly because it's all a crapshoot on whether if it will do anything or not, and youtubers often don't respond at all because they've been burned by or heard stories of fucking scamming jeets who pretend to be game devs so that bridge of goodwill was burnt for me before I even started. This particular part of gamedev in 2025 is just a lottery now and I can't see any reason to commit to it if this is how it is anymore.

fuck this fucking luddite posting made mr try grok because it had no account requirement and it took nearly 30 iterations for it to make a door that can open both clockwise and counter-clockwise despite giving it a full example script of an elevator to look at first.each iteration introduced new bugs, it constantly forgot things, changed around variable names for no reason, used wrong lang or outdated syntax, and randomly added more functionality. when it tried to fix updating collisions it got stuck adding even more retarded shit upon retarded shit until i pasted the elevator example AGAIN and then it just copied my script to fix its collisions in 1 line, despite me starting the initial fucking prompt with that same script. i'd rather yell commands at someone who has only ever cloned space invaders with python for dummies than a fucking AI jesus christ.
indie dev mindset: have 100 realizations about gamedev every day. don't take any notes. forget about everything you learned. make the same mistakes over and over.maybe it's desperation. when you do something even when you know it wont work. just because you have no better idea.

Retooling your campaign to make use of that takes time, and by the time you're ready the fad is already gone.So my point is, even if you force yourself, force this humiliation, it's still VERY likely to be for nothing. That's how shit it all is now.There used to be a time where just simply posting on twitter about your game would net you real sales, but that time is long gone now.

Worrying about Steam's 30% cut is like worrying about the capital gains tax. If it makes a difference for you then you've already won.
Can instanced static meshes be used as 3d tilemaps?
>>546156415What would be the best way to handle this?Offer a download to people who paid? Or work with activation codes? Force people to login to your infrastructure?
Your game would completely break AlphaGo, AlphaZero, and even modern LLM-based RL agents.They could play it — as in, take actions and learn short-term heuristics — but they couldn’t converge on a dominant policy or provably optimal behavior.They’d get trapped in the same spiral as humans: adapting to counter-adaptations, trying to exploit unstable patterns, forever chasing a moving target.bros...I've gotten too powerful.WTF
>>546156769I'd think how Minecraft did it. Account based.
>>546156687Yeah but why not just build or use a mesher at that point
>>546156030i think i just want to make it at this point... get it out there. im sick of having this game in my brain
>>546156687i am a gamedev and don't understand any of this, am i cooked?
>>546149673can you please stop posting this retarded autistic ESL shitwhat the fuck is "rather thinking of making a sense" learn English you bitch nigger
>>546156995You're cooked if you're making a 3D game.
it's interesting how i find motivation for dev when i want to learn, but lose motivation when i want to make a product i can sell.maybe i jump from learning to working way too early. maybe i should make way more time for learning.there's like this pressure that you have a short timespan to learn some things and then you have to turn what you learned into money asap. yet there's way too little time to learn.and the whole point of learning is to do something for the improvement and not for publishing it. it's ok to make 10 failed games, when your goal was learning.but i understand that if you aren't a nepobaby (i'm a poorfag), you cannot have this mindset, cause you need money asap.
>>546157086TRVKE
>>546157101the thing is, learning is ineffective. when you want to sell something it's: "use the premade tools", when you learn it's: "don't use premade tools, or you wont learn doing it yourself".actually being goal-oriented heavily discourages learning, it only values time-efficient decisions.
>>546157101>motivation for dev when i want to learn, but lose it when making a product to sellif you aren't learning new things as you make a commercial game, that's a you problem
>>546157296NTA,but can Godot make Simcity 4?
>>546157296being goal-oriented will teach you far more than years of dawdling around with tutorials and experiments
>>54615662530% cut would be fair and justified if Valve advertised your game but they don't. They only advertise 400 games a year.
>>546157538have you considered that only ~400 games a year are worthy of normie steamie mass popularity?
wake up in the morning feeling like
Welp
>>546157756>game numbers increase>amount of "supposedly worthy games" doesn'tHmm....
>>546158272how is this legal
>>546158297Have you seen the amount of trash rolling in from incompetent people purely relying on AI? I know I have.
>>546156885>a mesherI dont know what it isI mean, do maps in civilization 5 use this approach?
>>546157296It's both. You need to learn how to use and operate premade tools. Premade tools teach you about efficient processes. All you need is a file a lot of time to create an engine block by hand, but if you want to sell cars for a living, you should probably learn what the abilities and limitations of CNCs are and design your engine block around those limitations.
>>546157538but why does it matter? if your game is a flop like it most likely will be, Steam could be taking 1% or 90% it's more or less the same to you. and if your game is a success and you get $600k instead of $900k, boo fucking hoo.
I'm coming back from /v/. Anons were very nice and plenty of them downloaded my game. Response was much better than posting on DemoDay or Twitter, which was surprising.
how do i get into making music
How many copies did your game sell on Steam /v/?
>>546158717pick up a large instrument
>>546154890Following the reply chain on this intently as I am the exact same. It's the attention you aim at yourself and your work and the apparent beg for attention. Like other anons said though, it can be done in a classy way. I just dunno how yet

>>546158898Looks good.I wonder why that isometric view is so charming.
Really want to grab a nodev crab's scalp and gnaw their flesh off rn
>>546157362Probably, though depending on the scale of the game, (i.e. if you actually do run into performance bottlenecks) you might want to do the expensive simulation heavy code in a native plugin.
>>546158898Should sell them as an asset pack.
>>546128931Why is the resource forbidden?
>>546156769The first step is deciding if the 200 people you manage to finally herd towards your website and purchase the game despite their cattle like need for familiarity, will grant you more money than the 1000 that might come across it given the millions of users already on steam. It could work, if you already have millions of eyes on your game who are desperate to buy your game no matter whereMan I hate steam too, I like .exes I can start directly without waiting for some soc media adjacent bloatware to start up first, but you might as well complain about death and taxes too
>>546158546If your maps are just pre-determined and static, or generated once and not changed you won’t need a mesher. For something like Minecraft with world editing and shit a mesher re-meshes the edited terrain into as few vertices as possible for performance. Like if you had a 10x10 grid of static meshes you could combine them into a single 100x100 mesh reducing the memory footprint from 800 vertices down to 8. This is the ideal way to deal with rendering grid-based anything really.
>>546159032I want to throw a nodev in the wood chipper, then use their pulp to fertilize my orange trees, then make orange juice from the oranges, then drink the orange juice and utilize their essence to craft the perfect game.

>>546159337But techno.
>>546159296For me i want to stuff a nodevs decaying body in a small box along with a beaker of hydrochloric acid and placing a shelf with small holes above their corpse. I wait for the ammonia gas from the body to mix with the hydrochloric acid vapours to form salmiak salt then collect it from the shelf and use it to make salty licorice that I snack on while devving
>1255 reviews in 2016>562 reviews in 2021>44 reviews in 2025Many such cases. Skills don't matter, experience doesn't matter, fanbase doesn't matter, it is and always was a crap shoot.
>>546158948You either die based or live long enough to turn cringe.
>>546159693Yeah, but what would you to a nodev if you got your hands on one?
>>546159278So this is something like greedy mesh algorithm?I have no voxels, just flat tile field but it needs either meshes or high res textures too big to combine into one tilemap

>>546160279I don't doubt. But those are oddly specific numbers. Wanna know.
>>546158982I think you're just wrong. Vast majority of games on steam are worthless and aren't even worth looking at much less pirate or even play for free. Lots and I mean LOTS of dog shit but you're probably coping because your shitty game flopped so you need someone to blame.

>>546159862Assuming your map or whatever is just a big flat area you could just define the area, create a texture atlas of all of the required textures, and draw them on to the map texture, the render that once you’ve drawn everything visible to the player. I don’t know if I’m understanding your situation correctly though

>>546159448Can do if you want. Here's the blend file anyway, it's a mess.https://files.catbox.moe/lkd0f4.zipvid related is my process. The only thing related to pixelating the render are the two scale nodes, one scales up and one scales back down using nearest neighbor... Also under render settings > film set the filter size to 0.01 to turn off anti-aliasingWhat's going on in the video is I do the rendering in two steps, first the rgb split base sprite so I can have a shader change the R G and B colors in game to other colors. The other step is rendering the snow and other parts I don't want to be colored by the shader as a separate sprite that I lay on top of the other one. That's done by swapping the RGB base model for the car for a fully black one and feeding the red channel of the render back into the alpha so the car body blocks stuff behind it but is also transparent.>>546162476There's a blender plugin that generates them but I'm not sure how I'd add the snow easily. Too late now as I've already drawn the trees
>>546161472If you was making a map like this, what approach you choose? The cells do not need to be visually merged into one terrain

if your body count isn't in the dozens as an indie dev then you're ngmi. do you even know your audience?
>>546160672His video said he sold about 9k copies. Lets say it's 10k by now. At 15 dollars from the sale that's 150k pre tex pre cutprobably about about 75k raw cash afterwards cause 0.76*0.7 is almost 50%Right cause you need to consider he's going to get a specific tax bracket after the steam cut.So after the math it's about 79k.His actualy release trailer has 20k fucking views.Suppose theoretically youtubers make 0.013 cents. According to social blade his earning are between 100 to 1k a month. Not that bad. But let's just go with what you said, his most viewed video is 2.4 million views, let's say he can hit that once a month, he has a very inconsistent schedule. That puts him at 31k per month. Assuming he makes 0.013 dollars per view, over one penny per view seems extremely unrealistic, so I'm just going to go with what social blade is saying and say he's making an optimistics 1k a month from youtube alone. Most youtubers make money from sponsors, and blargis is his own sponsor.The numbers don't work.Even my steam revenue plugin is agreeing with my math that he make around 150k.He would have made it, if he kept his job you have to consider that he quit his job at some point during development supposedly when he got 100k wishlists.That means he didn't make it he grabbed all of his profit and lit on fire to keep warm.Classic lotto-winner failure. Yeah let's put it like that, say he just won the lotto for 200k, he then quit his job to live off 200k and expects to keep winning the lotto.Is that you blargis?Wanna know why you lost? cause your fans were game developers not gamers. HUGE difference
>>546163297sauce
>>546161317Not sure about you but I'd rather gamers have jobs so they can afford to buy more games but not enough time to play them all.But right now it's the opposite. Gamers have no jobs so no money but lots of time.
The devs that need feedback the most are the ones that are least likely receive it. (Because leaving negative feedback is hard due to not wanting to hurt feelings and look like an asshole.)
>>546163870Is this the game where you play simon says with a succubus? I didn't know you were an agdg dev. I stumbled upon your game "organically" on itch.
>>546164669Those devs don't need feedback. They need an intervention, and they need to grow the fuck up. Cope is one hell of a drug.
>>546163627I am once again aimless. It feels like I've got a lot of the base part of the game set up. But now I have to build these system's up and not really sure what I should do.
>>546164669I don't really care, retards are gonna retard. Nortubel and cris come to mind. No amount of breaking down how their shit is shit will help.
>>546163178Same approach as isometric squares but with hexagons. The hard part will be the math but once you get done it will be smooth sailing.

>>546165913how do I add these kinds od debug features in a simple way so I can build a fucking game without then having to pick through every debug test I made so players don't see it. Basically I'm asking if you can label across code and nodes and just disable then before publishing.

>>546169489His didn't even follow his own reasoning when he made the choice. The game was free and had a competent trailer and yet he chose the lowest number, which makes me thinks he personally would never play a shooter and therefore are biased against them. This is why human Steam curators are a terrible idea.>>546170313IMO, the main thing he was underweighting was time on market. For any game older than a year, he should really be guessing based on the SteamDB lowest recorded price, since for customers, that's the real price they're going to be seeing.

>>546171447yeah it is simple, which is why I'm building the simulation first and then I'll modularly add rendering. I am actually making the game first.
>>546171742Think of a 3d game that doesnt require an animated 3d model genius
>>546170880>>save/loadThe actual act of loading and saving is trivially easy. They're one line each.>ResourceSaver.save(game_data, "user://save_file.res")>game_data = ResourceLoader.load(game_data, "user://save_file.res")However, your load and save data format (defining what "game_data" actually is) and when to load/save is foundational to your game's design.

This is what an "obscure hidden gem" looks like to a steamie.

>>546172192Im 36
so what's the downside of trying your luck with hosting your own site to sell the game, and then going on Steam for an extra sales bump?
>>546171547Godot doesn't make video games. Humans make video games using Godot. You can't even make Pong, let alone Dwarf Fortress, regardless of what you're using.
>>546172228fair enough, you bested me, but i'm only slightly younger than you at 33
>>546172254Same thing as with Steam. How are you gonns get people to visit your website and buy your game?
>>546172254scattered sales numbers which retards on steam take seriously but that's about it
>>546172353that question goes without asking you fucking attention seeking retard, he's asking after that. fucking dense retard
>>546172254The downside is that you wasted all that time making your own website because 99.9% of your sales will come from Steam.
>>546172353by me advertising it.going to indie cons and clicktown festivals. Showing it off.Get my game a booth at /v/3 and GDC. Doing a talk.
sonic frontiers has one of the best soundtracks of any game released in the past 5 years. both ambient tracks and main boss music with lyrics are peak.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPitHLNkwd4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzSIuBwPAKshow do YOU intend to compete with musical kino like this for your little game
>>546172521>t webletyou can get a piece of shit up and running in no time. stupid moron
>>546172590i don't compete with teams
>>546172521>not making the website with a prompt
>>546172602A storefront is not a static web page, retard.
if someone would release a good game i'd stop being attached to this fucking suicidal "hobby".seriously, i thought Kenshi was jank, but that someone will pick it up and improve on it. what happened instead? every indie dev started to "scope" and now i don't even get games that are at least on the same level.
>>546172812play rain world
>>546172812I'm releasing a good game.
>>546172920>play game made by team
>>546172790Just prompt it to have PayPal and stripeWhst does it matter. Thats what itch is for.
>>546172708You are always competing with every video game ever made. There is no Special Olympics for gamedev, retard.
>>546172812>make kenshi like over 15 years>anon sees it>nah i got kenshi at home
>>546172035thanks, anon
>>546173081It's kind of a miracle that kenshi got popular at all, desu.
>check last thread>this manic meltie has been going on for 10 hoursIt wouldn't be so bad if he had a higher IQ and something remotely interesting to say. AI did this to him. I blame AI.
ok, what if I play a game where there's a 10 usd gamble on getting kicked in the groin by an average mma fighter and there's a 30% chance of getting a 5 in a game of 20 pair of dice throws versus a 100 usd gamble on getting punched in the face by a female elite boxer and there's a 80% of getting a 1 in a game of 80 pair of dice throws. Which should I pick.Final VerdictIf we treat “pain = money lost,”Option A (groin kick) is the less bad choice.You lose $1,004 in pain-adjusted value versus $4,940 for the boxer punch.Lmao, Chat gpt is stupid as fuck.
>>546172812small and tight > large and loose
>>546172035I do NOT recommend using GUIDE. That shit should have been written as a gdextension. This thing will tank performance. I had to rip that addon out of my game because it dropped my FPS by 40.

>>546174031i started gamedev because i didn't like existing games. if i'd be satisfied with games, then i wouldn't try to dev one.

>>546174316why the fuck would you let your wife force you to do anything? are you ugly perchance and have to give into her demands out of fear of her leaving you otherwise? the answer is yes

This changed everything. We are in a brave new era for a new breed of gamedevs who can finally go new places. Crusty devs and game designlets are crying out as they are left behind.
What the FUCK!!! Why did he use AI voice acting in his game!!!
>>546175352I look like this.
>>546175352my game I'm making is so unique. It's going to change the gaming landscape forever.
>>546169676This exact thing you've been working on already exists as a free Godot template that accepts square block tiles with a texture atlas.Just use an engine man and then you can actually make the game part instead of a 40 year old renderer (but worse) that nobody will appreciate the artistry behind.
Imagine not having sex covered in necrot locked in a room with rotting gore
>>546175387WHY WOULD I WANT TO PAY ANYONE FOR ANYTHING??? I have no money already. So fucking stupid niggers, programmers, artists, voice actors shit on my project but then beg and cry and scream for me to hire them and give them money on the other hand. Gamers DONT CARE ABOUT AI
Does your game have appeal?
>>546173159I don't get what all that game was so popular, I was trying to find out how to get started and I saw something that was like 'yeh just get arrested because every time you do the guards put a set of handcuffs on you and they weigh 20kg each so you just use them to walk back and forth and train strength up and then you might stand a chance in a fight' - the entire game appears to revolve around cheesing the retarded AI and every other mechanic
>it works
>>546175670>Gamers DONT CARE ABOUT AIAre you sure about that?
>>546176140Cancel culture NEVER works and is dead. That game just isn't good enough and had pussy devs that caved in at like 10- people out of 100000s that wouldn't have cared.
>>546176140>thanks for calling us out
>>546176140>animegamers hate anime unless you're on 4chins

>>546176752>kek.pngBut on the inside it's>angry crying.pngReminder this is a gamedev general and not an AI cultist general little chuddy.
>>546176752>conveniently leaves out all the reviews about ai
I will kill the guy who made my game, what a fucking retard this shit doesn't work nor fun
>>546175745where the skirt go
>>546176752The current negative reviews don't mention something that was changed already based on early negative reviews.
>>546175670>be 2015>uber comes to town>download app, very convenient>wow so cheap>use uber for a while>local taxi companies driven out of business>uber is now the only game in town>they jack their prices right upDamn if only someone could have predicted this>be 2025>AI comes to town>generate assets, very convenient>wow so cheap>use AI for a while>All the artists have to go get real jobs>AI stays cheap forever and everything is finePhew glad they didn't slam a big fat paywall down on a generation of retards who are incapable of performing any kind of complex task or skill without AI

>>546176140wow gamedev jobby really is a humiliation ritual.Good thing it's just a hobby for me.
i hate animating and more than that i hate trying to make the engine and code play the animations correctly to make it look good

Im unc what do i do. Everyone expects me to be in purgatory.
>>546177561Yes it is a good thing otherwise you would have customers complaining about your AI slop and refunding.
>ai voice acting is LE BAD!>okay so how about you voice act in it?>*crickets*
>>546178020>Yes it is a good thing otherwise you would have customers complaining about your AI slop and refunding.Wait, anti-AI sistas, what's this??? OH NO NO NO STOP THE COUNT NOOOOO!
You cant find people to read in front of a mic
>>546178273 See this game has good enough gameplay to attract GAMERS who don't give a shit about AI as long as the gameplay is good.
>I should be able to do everything the AAA games do!Okay then do it>I can't hire voice actors thoughSo use AI then>no people don't like itThen don't use it and don't have voice acting like a million other indie titles>nooo I should be able to do everything the AAA games do!Your biggest problem along with many AI fanatics is not being able to accept that you aren't entitled to do literally everything you can imagine just because you have a computer.
>>546178324We've offered. He doesn't have a script. He doesn't even have a game.
>>546178453>We've offeredWhen?
>>546178273I just keep imagining you talking to your caretaker like this because you're so autistic and rot brained that you communicate everything with this xister irony shitposting lmao
>>546178606Post script or kill yourself.
>>546178035>people don't like AI voice acting!>okay so maybe don't use it>*crickets*
>>546179131I am open to replacement. You however immediately run away when I ask. So fuck off.Tap on a clip to paste it in the text box.
>>546179346maybe just those blips or no voice acting at all, it's a game after all
Its ludover
i'll use AI voices until i have enough money to pay seiyuus for proper VA.westoids don't know how to do it anymore and aren't worth wasting money on.
>>546178273Ok now put AI voice acting in your game and see if it makes it betterFor anyone who doesn't know, pic related is the AI spammer's game in between spamming "oh no luddite xisters" and some screencap of a twitter post about AI for 18 hours a day, he was working on this. This is the reality of what he was able to actually put together using AI.I think It'd be far less embarrassing to have no game at all.
>>546179526>maybe just those blipsI don't like them. AI is an adequate replacement and an improvement.
>>546179651depends, just like music everybody has a genre they like and blips are more neutral i think
>>546179606>ONLY ONE PERSON IN THIS GENERAL CAN USE AI!smartest luddite.
>>546179606Thinking all of us AI chads are a single person truly is funny
>>546175352>clashing artstyles assetflip>most boring and inane gameplay loop ever inventedhow did this happen ?
>>546168028In this case, it’s not a debug feature; the event log tree is part of the game, with its nodes being the basis for the visual representation of battle (the battles are turn-based and all logic is executed instantaneously…)Each node happens to have a text representation as well, which is what is printed in the screenshot.The scriptable event log tree is actually the main feature I had trouble designing in the past.

>>546179950>clashing artstyles assetflip>most boring and inane gameplay loop ever inventedi thought i was the only one who can't wrap my head around how this dogturd became a success
I just kind of thought nobody takes gamedev seriously and now everyone wants it to be like a shitpost

>>546180061I know, and that's convenient, but in specific the function print_debug() or print() is nothing something related to the game or really what I mean is output the player sees, but yet in code it's still there and I have like 6 gorillion of that shit which I just comment out or uncomment back in. So everywhere in my code is a shit ton of debug code commented out.I dunno, maybe I'm just returded

None of you supposed 'multiple people' ever post your 'games' while spamming about AI. Weird really.

>>546177895Cheers anon, you get it, I am doing this to learn.And I figured it out, apparently I had a mismatch between the in-game map which uses integers and the renderer which does everything by floating point. It only took me 2 days to figure out my code was fucked up like that.Just need to fix the stretching a bit and then I can finally move on.
Apologize.
>>546186504is that nortubel
>>546177550>>546177550Just a chance to zip through your blendfile, really nice. Way more sensible setup with materials being one color and using geometry for the finer details (Like the thin black strip around the car door)I'd been using textured models to try and get an early Diablo style and it was always producing little artifacts and issues.
