So I found a youtubist with 1.2k subs and he seems to have an sort of audience. He doesn't review indie games but I'm not sure if that's on principle or he just hasn't gotten around to it yet.Should I send him of the Steme key for my game? Full disclosure my game flopped and nobody boughted it on release because no marketing
uhmm?
I unironically watch and take advice from youtuber gamedevs and ecelebs. I will not apologize. I will not be intimidated.
>>547453775you put more effort into editing the thumbnail each time this webm gets posted than working on a game
>>547453775>faked a demoday submission dashboard on itch.io We will never forget. Don't make me post the screenshot again 'ster.
>>547453771has he played anything like your game before on his channel? if so, sure. if not, well, what do you have to lose I guess?
>>547453893post your game xis, you ain't got one so you can't
>>547453935>has he played anything like your game before on his channel? if so, sure. Doesn't seem like it but a lot of the games he played are kinda the same ballpark. Like it's not the same genre but it's the game that a similar audience would enjoy mine. Idk how to put it in words correctly.>if not, well, what do you have to lose I guess?He could shit on my game and everybody will review bomb it
>>547453771whats your game?
If you have nothing to say, get back to work.
>>547453924see >>547454074
>>547453771>>547454045>nobody boughted it on release>He could shit on my game and everybody will review bomb itFor them to review bomb you, they would have to buy it first, which I thought was the result you wanted in the first place. You have nothing to lose.
>>547454202I would rather nobody buys my game than risk being shat on
>pedro is fighting the baitposterJust when you thought this general couldn't possibly be even more gay.
>>547454275Better not send it then. You could be made fun of.
step by stepbrick by brickthis is not a process you can rushor maybe it is, and i'm just weaki do not knowmy work is getting done
>>547454074>>547454202First off, this bastard bitch is not me>>547454116>>547454275Secondly, if he shits on my game, people won't buy it either, right? Some will refund to leave negative review but a lot just won't buy it. So it achieve nothing
Step by stepDay by dayA fresh start overA different hand to playThe deeper we fallThe stronger we stayAnd we'll be betterThe second time around
>>547454334Just make it better than yesterday, that's all you can doRome wasn't built in a day, and neither has any game worth playing
>>547454446Fuck you bastard bitch never said I'm you, dalit piece of shit
>>547454446is your game shadow stalker? if so, you kind of need to pay for 4 youtubers to play your game together.
>>547453915Because there is no magic advice. See how you're going in circles here? You already had this concept explained to you but can't grasp it. >>547449006
>>547454597>is your game shadow stalker?No that game is not mine
ludsissies they are starting to get rid of us!? what do we do?
>>547454645>Just make a great game people want to play, bro.Thanks. It takes a galaxy-sized brain to come up with such insightful advice. Where do I send the consultancy fee?
>>547454671what is your game then?
Can somebody explain to me why is some retard in here constantly pushing some youtube grifter? He often brings him up unprompted and gets really defensive and mad if you call him a shill.
>>547454821>Just _____ , broSee how all of your arguments are some variation of this, you don't have anything to say. You have no actual insight into what anyone is saying and cartoonify it to mock it. You're washed out. Cooked. Find a new hobby.
>>547454880I can explain to you why some of you get uncontrollably upset when we talk about things besides what you want to talk about. It's called narcissistic personality disorder, and it's a mental illness. You should see a therapist.
>>547455081>projecting
>>547455123Shutup luddite
>>547454959Nobody has said anyone has all the answers. See how you do this? We repeat again and again, there is no magic advice and you keep dismissing it and not hearing it. You can't speak about this topic in any meaningful way. Your opinion therefore on the content that youtubers make and whether what they say is meaningful is kind of worthless.
>>547455017That's not my argument but the advice grifters are selling. I can get that grade of advice here for free and I don't have to watch any videos.
>>547455189Uh oh meltie
>>547455417nuh uh xis
>>547454959>>547455297Lol, this. Zukowski literally says all the time that he can't tell you if your game is good/appealing or not until you put a trailer/demo on Steam and give him your analytics. Then he can tell you how your metrics stack up against already released games and help you predict your revenue before you finish making the game.
>>547455370>the advice grifters are sellingNo it's not. It's how you filter things in your brain because you're not cut out for this. You can't process complex information.
>>547455518Rename this general to /zuko/ already
>>547455616I've said it before, but we do need a /pgdg/
>>547455671Eh why bother, just because a couple 'tists get upset about ecelebs. This is our turf we run this place. High IQ professional devs.
>>547455798It's not autism. It's low-IQ narcissism .This thread actually has a severe shortage of high-IQ autism.
>>547455798You want to talk about ecelebs but don't respect us AI Chads, double standards much?
bout time or a break.
>>547455518>on SteamThe platform which states outright that it does not drive promotion to no-name developers and you need to do said promotion outside of it? Incredible! This guy is a genius!
>>547453775>>547453952>>547454692oh hey AIbro, you're back! So can you show me your gemini generated game now? I'm looking forward to see your progress!
>>547455951why does he look like that
>>547455918>>547455798>>547455671>>547455616>samefagging
>>547455918It is. I mean I know the goblin who attacks the thread under the guise of talking about AI is really just desperately seeking to harvest mental energy from superior beings. He doesn't actually care about AI or even know much about it. He just gets a thrill from having Elven lords acknowledge his lowly presence.
>>547455980>>547456069How about you post your games? Oh yeah you don't have one lil 'dite
>>547455951I love these comfy ass videos. One of the true gems I stumbled on in these threads.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVnLW47cpFk
>>547454491That's exactly what I heard, too.
>>547455919I used to make fun of the anti-AI luddites until you ruined it for everyone. Now it's just embarrassing to be associated with a fat, ugly, old, brown, mentally ill loser.
>>547456139baby, you know me baby, I'm a nodev xister ludite, I don't have to prove anything, but you're the AIchad bro, you can generate me a game with a click of a button. You have something big to show. You have to dazzle us, poor luddites, otherwise you're just a hack, a conman, a pussy with no game! Come on now AIbro, you just have to POST YOUR GAME
>ask lud' to post game>they don't post gamemany such cases
If I post my game on itch as I make progress, will anyone actually try it?
>the creature continues to squawk for attentionShan't be speaking with it. We are above such things. Creator beings are we.
I'm starting to think that some people create fictitious arguments just to generate responses.Specifically, the one talking about AI vs. Luddites and the one saying that making video games is a hobby and it all depends on luck because whatever.
>>547456308>im totally an ai chad b-but you made me stop wanting to be oneyeah sure thing xis, here for you
>>547456361Only if gameplay is not ass, or something turn-based (yuck) very few turn-based games don't suck absolute dick, it's the hardest genre to pull off
>>547456492uh hello? I'm still waiting! >>547456334Is gemini generating your game for 18 hours now?
>>547456361Depends heavily on the tags. If you make something for a niche which is hungry for games they will probably find it. Itch is weird sometimes about making your game searchable though.
>i'm le skyrim elfdo lu**ites really?>>547456590me too xis, surely you must be done with your pong clone by now right?
AI? that's the sound your mother made when I gave the big wood elf if you catch my silt.

>>547456651What niches are hungry for games?
>>547457001finish quickly, outlander; i haven't much time
>>547454562truth
>>547453534this but with agdg devs>bokube: "I FUCKING HATE NIGGERS AND JEWS" *works on a baby block game*>fygoon: "I HATE PEDOS AND GOOKS" *works on a 3d diaperscalie game*>nortubel: "I'M GONNA KILL MY FAMILY" *works on an /ss/ incest game*>cris: *spouts pretentions babble about anime being inferior while working on an ai generated anime waifu game*
>>547456492You can cope however you want, but it won't change the fact that you're a repulsive, friendless loser. You will die sad and alone.
>>547456664I don't have to prove nothing, you said it yourself, I'm a nodev. Nodevs don't make games.AIChads do make games. There lies the difference. Unless... you don't have a game? is that what you're implying? It's such an easy win, showing me your AI generated game while I have nothing! Come on now, post it! Prove me wrong!
>>547454821truth be told many indies create games purely out of individual passion with minimal consideration for market demands
>>547457082Cmon dawg that's valuable information. I know of at least one but I don't wanna say because I like to stay anonymous and it would kind of identify me.
fygoon, please be honestdo you talk to yourself frequently?
>>547457406not fagtroon but I do, my internal monologue is vocal as a result of being autistic, lonely and untreated my whole life.not as a choice, mind you. it takes money to get real help that's not zombie pills in 90% of the countries.
>me ignoring the foul creature and watching you closely making sure you don't reply to it Hold the line.
Creator beings are we.
>>547457406not fygoon, and I thank God for that every day.
>>547457879Creation is something we share with the divineOr perhaps, it's the divine sharing with us

reminder
>>547459952>false flagtypical 'dite behavior
>>547454880Gamedev is a big undertaking. You can get easily lost, or feel like you are going nowhere, especially if you already worked so mcuh. So people obviously reach out to people who know better like with everything else Problem is, there is no way to tell whether someone knows it better or not in gamedev, they just tell you with utter conviction that they do know.It doesn't help that many of the aspiring amateur gamedevs are on the younger side. They have no parents, or their parents don't care, school cannot help with the idea of making games. So they are gonna go on youtube and check for Farty McFart telling them how it should be. Then the hero worship kicks in, and they must spread the word! (All the while not working on their game at all)As always, to top things off, there are the trolls. Who know this is all bullshit, and just want to stir shit up, by importing the retarded ideas that a youtuber has, maybe even out of context for maximum madness. Same with half of the AI posting.
>>547460294Listen to yourself coping. You call it "bullshit" and "trolling" because you're terrified that your years of "learning" are becoming obsolete. Gamedev is only a "big undertaking" if you're still working like a caveman. While you wagecucks are crying about "soul" and getting parasocial with YouTube grifters, the smart ones are leveraging LLMs and diffusers to do the work of a 20-man team for free.You think we're stirring shit? No, we're trying to save you from your own mediocrity. You're stuck pixel-peeping for weeks while I generate an entire texture library and refactor my codebase during a coffee break. AI isn't just "the future," it's the filter, and if you aren't integrating it into your pipeline, you're already NGMI. Keep screaming at the clouds while I actually ship. Enjoy being left behind with your manual labor fetish, dinosaur.
>>547460450'd*te xi*ters won't like this one
Two more hours of procrastination and I will start for sure...
>>547460103>reading comprehension
>>547460450You should leave hallucinations to your glorified markov chain.
>>547460582>>547460580You are regressive abominations and will never ever make it.
>>547456463That we are my friend. That we are.
>>547460450thank you grok, very nice hallucination>>547460540>still no game
>>547460582>>547460738post game luddite, you won't
I mostly just like the idea of making games. I have no inherent drive to make games, or maybe my dopamine is just fried. I like making little thingamajigs and tackling specific technical problems but after solving a problem I lose all motivation. I also have no vision for a full game
>>547461003That means you just enjoy programming. Nothing wrong with that.
Fresh off the press.
>>547460547You know if you do a little work now, you can procrastinate more later. just 10 minute work, come on.
>>547461003I remember when indie games where mostly that, little experiments as technology tiers unlocked(irl ones). VR brought that back briefly, then the design space was pretty much covered
>>547460763>>547457268
>>547461306That's why we need WW3, the issue isn't tech stagnating, it is too many people trying to make things at the same time. We need less people.
>>547461468fewer
>>547460763Mentally ill.
>>547461583My first language is Hebrew.
>>547461186Post your game.
>>547461612>>547461724still no game>>547461436>Heh I admit I'm a luddite loser yes, now entertain meno, die in a ditch
would YOU play an AI game?
>>547461826that's like 'dite repellent, they are only into black cock and neovaginas, no wonder joshua is a 'dite now that i think
this is an unbelievably shit general, and almost entirely useless to boot. a yesdev stands to gain more from reading raw /v/ threads about similar games to at least receive jaded player opinions than spending a single minute in this insipid hellhole of circularly churning black sludge.
brown retard's claude is on cooldown so you have to deal with his spam for 4 hours, sorry!
>Oh man, I would sure love to have a mentally ill stalker harass my game outside of /agdg/Said no one ever.
Noticed how fagtroon has completely vanished at the same time xister started shitting up the thread non-stop?
>>547461826No.
'ters our response?
>>547461826Sure if it's nice.When will AI be able to produce real women with meat and guts tho? I need that.
>>547456492based>>547457243seethe
>>547461798but you're entertaining me still! You have no game! You can't show me a 15 seconds of a video from your game! You can't show me editor with AI generated assets! Maybe you can't event generate a single usable asset! It's hilarious!
>>547461468there are only so many souls to go around. thats why so many people can only copy and corrupt. only those with souls can create new and beautiful things
>>547462073>AI Chads scared fagoon awayAI Chads just keep winning>>547462209keep replying with your cope
>>547462149>When will AI be able to produce real women with meat and guts tho? I need that.probably elon is will just throw a realdoll on an optimus and call it a day
>>547462015Sorry :( Did I do it? Was it my fault?>>547462073What's your theory? He doesn't resemble fygoon in his behaviour. but yeah I did wonder where fygoon was during all this stuff because fygoon was honestly more tolerable than this outright spam.
>>547462015What a fucking end to what once a nice place to talk to other devs.

>>547457767He replies to himself, both sides of the argument, he got caught samefagging with sequential filenames on images. He doesn't even need anyone else to be here to shit up the thread.
>>547462679what game are you trying to pretend is yours?
ITT: Bitter losers who don't make game and shitpost all day long VS Godly creators who make game and occasionally shitpost
>>547462690Lmao. It's literally this >>547461906
the important question is: why does every general on every board have one?
>>547462846while the term Godly Creator sounds good, AI Chad is the proper term, thank you.
we have the support of the brightest minds in the world and the most powerful man, what do you 'dites have? a game? nope not even that lmao

>>547462732It's a secret baby, I ain't gonna post my credentials so you can hate me personally. I enjoy my anonymity baby, and you can't pinpoint me. You wanna hate me and my game? That's cute.

Just post that awesome webm of your game and be done with it. Just like post it. It's so simple. Come on, ask AI "how to make a webm" and just follow instructions. Come on lil bro, you can do it!
sissies I don't feel so good

>>547463397still waiting for your game xis, or you can keep unloading your frog folder like the nodev you are
>>547463079This. I would love to have some retard stalk me on all social media outlets and shit up all my marketing work, but I am too busy you know... with literally anything else.
>>547463461It's true. I've never used AI in my life and my life has been nothing but constant struggle.

If you don't wash your ass after defecating you are beneath me and I have the same amount of respect for you as I have for the chimps in the zoo.

>>547466690still disruptive. I guess ic has an advantage in that ai bros would start new threads all the time but not enter generals

>>547466786>he doesn't have all his exes blocked on everything
>>547466868I love tactics games, but usually the fantasy for me is knights, soldiers or mechs.ugly cats...? um...this game is gonna get it's cuff busted isn't it?
>>547466310using an agent is up to you and what sort of budget you have. it would calm the nerves especially in some states but you are going to give every sort of identity information one way or another with banks other businesses and the irs. you could try starting it in a different state that has that sort of privacy but most people recommend doing it in your home state. check your states taxes for digital goods and retail tax to see if it even is worth thinking about using another state.the whole thing is ass for someone that is trying to be private in the usa and it is how some celebrities private homes have been found. overall even though we should keep in mind the bad apples of society people are generally good people.
>>547461798You're mentally ill, and I do have a game. I'm actually in the end stages of it. Ready to start serious play testing. Meanwhile your entire life revolves around getting people to respond to you. You're mentally ill and a loser.
Is the AI poster gone? Is it safe to post now?

Bit slow progress today but I decided to implement animatable wall textures. It should not really impact performance. But it looks fun, should open up a lot of options for future hallway designs.The texture in the video is very simple but it was just to test the effect.

>>547468690very nice, but I'd either use it for a moving shadows with a torch
>>547467226Who knows... I dont like his obsession with poop
>>547469018Well to be honest, there will probably be no such thing as a torch in my game, it won't be a medieval dungeon crawler.
>>547469191what are you aiming for in your project?
>>547468715I remember one poster known as tripfag, hasn't been seen since he was challenged to a draw off. he used to draw and post on ic back in the day, and was convinced AI would help him finish his comic. (it didn't because he's too lazy to finish things even with AI... a trend I'm noticing)
>>547468690Nice. You'll be good on performance. Only enginelet peasants struggle with that.
>>547469590The core concept will be maze exploration with enemies and collectibles.Once I got the mechanics working and everything implemented I want to create a bunch of different hallway styles to see how far I can push the atmosphere with just a square hallway, optionally animated, a coloured fog and some decals. I really want to experiment a lot so maybe I'll make a few dungeon themed hallway but also go with more contemporary subjects, industrial, futuristic, etc. Maybe even some bizarre things, I like macro photography too so I can use that as a theme. I treat it as a little art project at this point, trying to have some fun with the constraints of my engine.>>547470897Yeah it's cool that to have a good grasp on what your engine is doing and thinking of solutions to improve it (if necessary) when I first added fog it was calculated per pixel so it was very slow, the workaround was quite fun to figure out.
>>547468775Please stop posting this, I'm trying to stop fapping! It's getting in the way of gamedev!
Are you strong enough to top a game like this?

>>547473297Great. It's going to inspire more competition. Hopefully all the games they follow are stupid. Unfortunately MewGenics is kinda based in that's it's turn based and not some retarded platformer. Hopefully they push everyone into making FPS fortnight clones or something.

>>547475141
I am trying to make first person dungeon crawler, I've only made small vertical slices of games where I was content if it just worked in its small scale before, but in making a prototype for this game I want to take into consideration how it'll work as it expands.I am wondering if it would make sense to put all my input logic into a global state machine or not, and I don't really have the experience to know if it would be overcomplicating things or not. Right now I have just the moving around in the dungeon done and now that I'm moving on to the menus I'm wondering if I should move all the input logic over elsewhere when I already have it working for part of the game. I don't really know where I would even go to learn if that's considered a good practice or not. Does anyone else know?
Why japs have never done a game where I can have a romance with 4 girls at once, but put a wide range of female body types, races, ages and weight?Like you marry and date at the same time a 45 year old fat white female, a 30 year old chubby asian girl, a 20 year old thin aboriginal tamil, and a 15 year old black teen.
Copy, pasteCopy, pasteCopy, pasteI'm just fucking copying and pasting all day long
>>547476713Because they in general do not like fat people.
>>547476130this sounds like a perfectly reasonable question for a gamedev general.I'm not even sure what a state machine is. and I make a living from games, though apparently not the kind of games that would need a "state machine".
>>547476910my experience with degenerates is that there's fandoms for anything.would be like claiming that an ice cream shop shouldn't have a wide range of flavours because you only enjoy 2 of them.
would Steam allow me to have a character named Aidsface McBabylegs?
is there like a list for every single 3d character artstyle?
>>547473323So what game from sega can I copy to find financial success?
>>547476130I dunno man I just put all my input logic in a script and then slap it into every scene. If I have a special use case I code it into the global script in case it needs to be used again somewhere else.
>>547476713
>>547476980state machines are ubiquitous in games, even if they are implicitly encoded
>>547476713>>547476910The real answer is because they weren't clever enough to come up with such a great idea, go for it Cris-kun!
>>547477275Yeah I've looked it up and it turns out I've reinvented and used state machines without even knowing.

Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 700 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY

Man, sculpting doesn't work for anime shit.I know there are people making masterpieces, but honestly sculpting doesn't make a huge diference to the end result and just add a layer of complexity to the workflow.I still think is really important to do a realistic sculpt, because it forces you to actually think about the anatomy.I've never actually tried to figure out how the ass, anus and vagina fit like a puzzle in a woman groin and pelvis if it wasn't because I did a realistic sculpt.However what I want is genshin impact milfs and lolis and teens and fat anime genshin milfs.But sculpting is not the optimal workflow for that.

what are you doing to make your game unique and not derivative?
Give gamers what they want.
https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/INsirs here it is, what gamers want
Sometimes I feel like C++ chads are winning bigly...
>>547510435i have a bunch of dumbells but im too unmotivated to use them...
>>547509893god is a nortubel fan?
>>547501271It's just annoying.Everything I've made is with the assumption that you're in a multiplayer session, and I added that demo scene in the menu because I thought it's a nice touch and it'll be something to look at and I can make a local session so everything works. It took like 15 mins to set up.But now I'm trying to make joining a server more error-proof and I'm finding that while trying to join a server that doesn't exist and you're waiting for the connection to time out, all the NPCs in the background fuck up and get stuck in a broken state because I'm in the process of replacing the multiplayer session that they're all dependent on. And I don't have any NPCs or snowballs that just work without any reference to a multiplayer session.So annoying shit like that just adds up over time. But it's a learning experience>>547505143I hope all the bocchi posters dress in pink and work together if you decide to play during demoday.>>547505449>>547505527It was always intended to be a multiplayer snowball deathmatch game from the start. I haven't really added much scope. It might look like project zomboid but its all scenery. All you can do as a player is walk around, throw snowballs, and pick up downed players. There aren't even real ingame teams so that last mechanic is just there in case friends want to do informal teams.
>>547511521It does feel like winning when you solve small problems and find dumb little solutions to your challenges.Today I didn't have much time to dev but I managed to make the fog also apply to decals in the hallways, the overlay images that can be placed over the "normal" hallway texture.It wasn't difficult but it had to be implemented.
>>547514478So you planning to make a wizardry style 3d tile-based dungeon crawler with this?
I quit. It's too much to be a solo dev. Context switching between programming and art just kills my motivation. I have a full-time job and don't have time for this shit. Good luck to those of you who have the passion
how do you know when its scope creep vs an interesting feature
>>547508851rudder is not important for flying. also, they can twist the tail a bit for more control
>>547515226Making if more aesthetic is not feature creep
>>547515226If it's gonna take forever to implement, it's scope creepIf you can make it work in an hour or two, it could be an interesting feature and there's no reason not to at least try it on and see how it would work before going all in

>>547515409>>547515437im making like an idle game and i came up with an idea for a basic fluid hydraulic system to power some components, is this scope creep and should i drop it
>>547514732Hmmm, I really should get rid of the assets and get something more fitting because it's currently not quite representative for the style I want to create. I'll work on that a little bit tomorrow.It's not going to be an RPG nor is iit going to be about classic "dungeons". Simply put, it's a maze exploration game with enemies and collectibles, thematically it will take place in all kinds of settings. I'll explain that a little more when the mechanics are working properly and I can focus on assets, it's not really a priority besides getting it working.
>>547515905give it up bro
>>547516289keep the windows maze that will hook some people
>>547516243If its physics that cant be seen its pointless. Like what? the hydraulic oil of an excavator or some shit? Lol
>>547515905cris how about you actually make something instead of doing 'exercises' and while you're at it forget about anime, you're a westerner, you'll never be as good as the japs are in their own style.
>>547516592very simple prototype, but basically need to balance pressure for fluid to power certain components in a pseudo factory
>>547516530Dunno what you mean to be honest.
>>547517186>>547516592to explain this a bit better, the fluid travels from the source through the pipes and needs enough saturation/pressure to travel to further components, you use motors and vats ect to help reach further components

>>547523949C# is a pretty good choice to start learning how to code. Python and Pygame might get a someone with little coding experience up and running faster though.

CHADgoon, incinerate this entire thread
imagine actually boasting about spending 40 hours on a sprite sheet in 2025 when i just generated a better one in 15 seconds, you guys are like horse breeders crying about the invention of the car. the absolute state of "soul" posters pretending their mediocrity is a stylistic choice while i pump out three fully playable prototypes a week using llms and diffusion. nobody cares about your "effort" or your "ethical consumption," they care if the game is fun, and while you're busy virtue signaling on an anonymous imageboard, i'm actually shipping products. enjoy being replaced by a script kiddy with a huggingface account, you are literally obsolete and your refusal to adapt is just natural selection doing its job.

>>547525780>>547525989I'm not watching the whole thing. I clicked through it and he's basically talking about stuff I've talked about here before. Fun is flow. Use repetition to push gameplay from the Anxiety region into the flow region and use variation to push gameplay from the Boredom region into the flow region.
>make sure your game is balanced>how insightful>are they available for game design consulting?
>>547526383I've always wanted to pay Marnix his $200 for consulting just out of curiosity.But it's hard to justify that price.
Will players be upset if I make it hard to edit or delete the players save file? I think it is funny to up the stakes a bit. (You can't re-load things in my game and things get auto saved)
>>547512490Sounds like the kinda stuff dependent on other stuff being there otherwise it just breaks apart, a delicate balance. I've had stuff like that in singleplayef. In the mean time I just got a very lousy chat system up. Idk I think I'm giving myself a months time to make some good progress on this test project, if it fails I'm going straight to just making the game singleplayer or dropping it in favor of one of the other ideas.
>>547526383That's not what balance means in the context of game design. Balance is not necessarily fun. In fact, unbalanced games are typically more fun. Balanced games can be boring.
>>547526934Balance is balance. The middle way hasn’t changed since it was defined by the Buddha almost 3000 years ago. Doesn’t matter what context you are talking about. That chart is just playing word games. You could literally replace everything on that chart with any words as long as they are opposites.
how would you implement ability to interact with objects in an fps? for example, activating a microwave, opening a door, pressing a button that does something.

>>547527373If all the objects had radically different properties then I would probably create an interface with a Use() command on it and implement that on a per class basis.Assuming whatever language you're using has interfaces and isn't a pile of shit.

is it reasonable to expect indie gamedev to provide a primary sustainable income in 2025?Or is this more of a Hobby?
>>547527373NGMI
>>547526383Nobody is trying to take your money, pocketwatcher.
>>547528310You should make the game you want to make.

how do you make X number of things evenly so the middle thing is on 0like apple 1 is on -10.0, apple 2 is on 0.0, apple 3 is on 10.0
AHHHHHHHHHHH
>>547528336I was actually just introduced to the concept of pocket watchers by this thread. Like I knew people were interested in the Forbes list, but tracking indie devs over money when they could make more at Burger King is a new low I have discovered. I have to imagine it’s all foreigners.

>>547532008absolute single-digit iq take. if you never hit the limit, it’s simply because your codebase is the size of a hello world tutorial, you brainlet. bragging about manually managing context is just admitting you do the grunt work yourself because you don't understand how to leverage a large window for architectural awareness. go back to scratch, lobotomite.
I'm progressing really well on my game. I can implement all the features and it's playable. The problem is I just using squares and circles. It's fun to play. But I can't release it without professional art assets. I look at other indie games that actually look good and I lose all hope and ask myself why bother?

>>547532008I tried “vibe coding” with it for my current project. It’s just a waste of tokens. It is obviously way faster and way more efficient if you are working in a codebase with libraries you know, create function prototypes for it, and have it add your features one function at a time.

how do I get good at procedural generation
>>547533868It’s dumb anyway. If you know how to write your own engine, it takes you just as long to become proficient in someone else’s engine. It’s all about scope.

>>547537748Only i posted my game
>>547537748Me. Not posting it for obvious reasons thougheverbeit.
>>547537937Whats the obvious reason? Not wanting to be associated with white supremacists?
>>547537748according to AI, me.
>>547538008nta but for me it's because the idea is so good marnix will steal it
>>547537748Me. My game changes the gaming landscape.
>>547536670well if it helps im extremely bitter about my inability to create anything. i guarantee i've tried 10x harder than the average person. makes me want to kill god.
>>547538606You didnt come up with that
>>547537748there are people here which will be big names in the next hello chiptune indie craze age.I am one of them.
>>547538008>Not wanting to be associated with white supremacists?It's not 2016 anymore. The pendulum swings, soon it will be mandatory for your game to glorify the white race. Mine will be ahead of the curve.
>>547538820In 50 years the last of the ehitehickans will roam the earth like mini jews
>>547538606Big Cain energy. This hobby isn't for everyone, it's OK to go do woodwork or something. Perfectly noble hobby
>>547536670I could, but I'd need to spend $50k to setup a local model first.
>>547539096Pay me that $50k and I'll buy whatever you were going to try to make with AI from an asset store and pocket the difference (it'll be a lot)
is it actually bad to post ur game here for ur reputation i mean i thought it would give u indie gamer swagger like "im real i was on the vg thread..."
>>547539584I've considered it several times, but then I read the posts here and I'm like nope not happening don't want my game canceled and associated with these freaks.
>>547539584only dd is for rep, the thread is basically just for venting pressure and procrastinating
>>547539790Are those the imaginary rules of 4chan you play by? Do you have a whole list of them for us?
>>547540353I made that rule up after I read that retarded post. if you want any new rules let me know
>>547540353considering the amount of people keeping their games obscured a lot of people play by those rules
>>547540606I think thats more on account of the trolls and gore/loli spammers
>140 wishlists
>>547539584i look like this
>>547540606Or those games don't exist and those people are nodevs.>haha yes my game is real ummm I'm just too much of a coward to post itSame types of kids in school who claimed to have a gf but she goes to another school in another town and you wouldn't know her.
>>547541030>I post my game in a different thread>new nodev meme
Does anyone here have an enviable low poly waifu they can post to inspire me. I'm learning blender right now and so far I've just rigged and done a run animation on a Legend of Zelda Goron. I think my next step should be to try to make my own model of an anime girl protagonist, but I have no ideas.
what is it like to be a nodev? is it like how it was before you are born? just... nothing? or is it hell?
>>547541437
>>547537615Heh
>>547541437maybe if you mean really low poly
>>547533303yes and then was finished with it ...and it wasn't an endless barrage of "game design" but on the entire spectrum of gamedev that i have personally experiencedthese bozos making it their content farms are just talking shit, there literally isn't enough meaningful topics to sustain an endless stream of content without resorting to asspulling or essentially becoming a reporter to things you havent validated.

>>547542189>>547542642Mario mario from Super Mario 64 had 3 times more polygons than those models
>>547542918This guys says what I think concisely without schizzing out and calling people faggots. I’m here to learn from people like him.
should i bother with fluid simulation if im making a 2d game? is it a massive pain in the ass? i want it for water traveling through pipes
>>547543157relax faggot
>>547543340I’ll show you some fluid animation you little faggot.
bloody bitch bastard
>>547543340easier to fake it in that case. it's not a huge pain for a 2d game though.
>>547543685yea ive been testing with how i could fake it, but theres something very satisfying to how well animated fluid simulation looks/works, would love to implement it if i could figure it out without putting too much work into it
>>547542189did you make that, anon. if so, good job.i can't think of a waifu to draw so trying to model from nothing might be retarded.Right now my idea is instead of making a fun game, I'll just try to have a compelling anime girl to lure people in. It works for seasonal anime; why can't it work for me.
>>547543902ask AI for a Eulerian Fluid Solver
new thread plz
I bet Moot would make a game about gay sex.
>>547543958no, it's from the dead indie game fermita on the pithos
i just browsed 1000+ indie games on x.com and i didnt see a single dwarf fortress / caves of qud / space station 13 / etc-like. why is that? there's only like a dozen in existence and each one made millions of dollars. am i wrong?
>>547544048ty for the tip, ill look into that
>>547543340funny i was working on that now, for porn game
>>547544493any tips or methods that worked for you?
>>547544187nu-style anime design is the worst of all types of anime designs althoughbeit. only thing maybe as bad as 00s moeshit
new>>547544873>>547544873>>547544873>>547544873>>547544873
>>547544584it's a graph based one rather than a grid, i asked AI and spent 2.5 days coding and linear algebraing to get the vibe of it right. it's not that hard in hindsight and i'm glad i went all out with it
>>547542971Amazing
>>547538008>Not wanting to be associated with white supremacists?Close, it's not wanting to be associated with schizophrenic porn addicted pedophile trannies
>>547544935hmm alright ty anon, gl with your game
