>>547667725Wasn't that also the case with Zun?
>>547668072Idk but that would explain a lot!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnGg_QDzUKsHonestly, my two biggest roadblocks to make it, is having a cheap way to make the VP supers sprites, and find a way to have kontakt similar sounds with LMMS on linux.
>>547668243the monster looks a bit custom for it to be just photos
Me cooking rn
>nothing works
Showcasing new non euclidean effects and dimensional hollow planetoids. Dimensional hollow planetoids will be the main feature of the 3rd map.
my ideas are very weird, i can only imagine many complaints about them coming from players, not praise
Creator beings standing by.
>>547668849Ok but where is your game?
>80% of engagement my posts get are from Japanese profiles>Don't speak any Japanese so obviously won't have a JP translation Should I be concerned?
>>547668798That's trippy af! Very cool.
you don't have enough time to be good at everythingask for help, collaborate, seek assistance>>547668882it's almost done, the doubt is beginning to sink in
i have learned a tremendous amount about netcode today and AAA grade project structure (composing your game out of many of your own standalone reusable packages etc). but i still have no game.
I spent all day writing lore.Happy about my setting.My game is so good.
i'm primarily a programmer idk about y'all
it's easy to be confident when you have nothing to lose
>>547668798Neat, I always like these kinds of things.
>>547668887Just pull it through google translate and call it a day.
corner collisions are annoying
>>547668798Doing great work, reminds me of this game that has infinitely nested/fractal levels, they could have done better possibly with singleplayer. >https://store.steampowered.com/app/1344440/Spaceflux/You have more than one hook which is good
from a technical perspective how are you guys creating your game? engines, libraries, frameworks, your project structure, workflows or perhaps things you do "more correctly" than the average indie dev, etc?
>>547669228please leave it like this
>>547669402unity + chatgpt + asset store
>>547669402i'm making a multiplayer game in unity, think "Rust-lite", open world. i'm using assembly definitions, addressables, complete client/server separation, etc all from the start. my game is not a monolithic codebase but instead "composed" from many of my own packages (libraries), each with their own github repo that can be used standalone in future games. so this game will stich those packages together into a game using the APIs i gave the package rather than using the package's implementation code. i'm using Purrnet for multiplayer, i chose it above Fishnet. but i'm not using it in a "high level" way, i've bypassed some of it's highest level features to use more scalable lower level features.
>>547669708the most appealing of my custom packages is my own netcode package which is a wrapper for purrnet but highly opinionated and automates all setup, it is also more scalable than how most people use Purrnet because it replaces certain slow high level purrnet features with faster lower level ones. the end result is that if you use this package in your game, if you tag a gameobject as "Networked" then all its visual properties (x,y,rotation,scale,model,animation,etc) will be automatically syncronized with no effort.
>>547669402>enginesI built my own.>librariesOnly if absolutely necessary>frameworksI have none of that>your project structurea big mess because I have no idea how to properly structure things>workflowsI just decide on a functionality that I need, make it as small as possible, then do it.
>>547669402I open unity. I create an object. I create a script. I put the script on the object. repeat until finished game.
>>547669401Spaceflux is such a cool concept for an FPS, but it's a shame that it's under developed from what I understand reading the mixed reviews. It can easily become a hit if the developer polish it more.
search your codebase for TODO
>>547670245I agree they did flop hard considering whenever they did show the game it always got attention the concept is very strong. They had a goldmine and didn't even put a dent in it.
Hitler tongue my anus
>>547670245>>547670548Even worse they tried to go the DLC in app purchase route. https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Calin%20Ardelean
>>5476706291 Virtual Pineapple that will be $5 please
>>547670629I also clicked on the dev, what a way to go...
>>547670629>>547670730Holy shit!!! 116$ in dlcs, like this anon said >>547670548 , they had a goldmine and screw everything so bad, they had a viral game and wasted the opportunity so badly.... I guess sometimes God give meat to the one without teeth.
There is no visual update for Wagie Run today, but the progress are on technical stuff like optimizations. I wanna code after weeks of making the level's environment kek. This next 2 weeks i wanna focus on stuff like optimization, menu and UIs, ect, ect
>>547668798Ey m8 i saw you on twatter. Good job with the post's traction!
>>547668798Ngl that is kind of trippy
Id like to make an assesment.What is the problem with love tennis?1. I dont think you can do it(i can)2. The concept is boring3. Im an atheist puritan4. You paid for the tennis court, character 3d model and animations5. That my name is pedro
>>547668798neat
>>547671985uhh yeah cool
Which Unity Render Pipeline do you all use and why?
>>547672542built init just works
An old game dev gave the following consolation to one of his disciples: “No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.”
>guessed 26 reviews>actually has 10k reviewsWHAT.THE.FUCK.
>>547669970>>engines>I built my own.hello world isn't an engine
>can’t believe this nigga would admit to not having played Super Bunny Man…
>>547672946you people have no idea the potential of marketing
>>547673004shut the fuck up you fucking retard. it's a fucking lottery, you just act smug after the fact when a game does succeed. go blow your mother
>>547672542URP
>>547673123you tragic fool
>>547672946>make the most baby tier game for bsbiesNot baby maxxing
i haven't seen a realms deep event in a while. what happened?
When playing an action game with some very light narrative, how important is it to you that any information you encounter in writing is on era-appropriate stationary? Because if it's very important, my game will take 2 months longer to make.
>>547672946>not appealing to thirdie toddlersbig mistake
>>547673596>simplified chineseeven chinamen need their own language dumbed down.
>>547671985Oh look thread is bad again. Sleeping almost 3 hours now huh xister? That's an improvement.
>>547673716are you insecure?
>>547673123>returns to thread>immediately starts rage meltiesHonestly I don't even blame you. If I were you I would be mad too.
>>547672946I admit, I have no idea what people want.And I don't really care.
>>547673889we shouldn't be marketing our games toward "people" but specific niches who like the kind of thing we're making.
>>547673889just make something you like and learn marketing
>>547673862he certainly is. the only people that ever make fun of chinamen are insecure people. there's nothing to make fun of about chinamen
>>547673943Doing something ypu font like is marketing. Most people don't want to make a board game with powerups for the phone. The less you enjoy it the more marketier it is.
>>547674012I wasn't making fun of them but of their language. I was saying it was so complicated even they (being more intelligent than white people) need it dumbed down.
>texture and model one lowpoly building>need to do at least 2 more for the level>probably gonna need even more for other levels or else it'll look lazy>then there's every other asset to make
>>547674087
>>547672993Haha good one.But I managed to get a little further than that.
>>547674294Go on kill the fly
>>547672946
>>547672946it's a streamer game, especially on the jp/vtuber side. So it gets a lot of free advertising
Nobody boughted my game, today or ever. I keep opening the financial reports page on Steamworks, and all I see is nothing. It's all fucked. Gabencunt, why did you do this to me?
>>547674329I need to refactor sprite handling before I can let the player engage in fly swatting action.
>>547674457post financial page for proof
>>547673780Its day time here. Theres a 12 hour difference between thailand and burgerstan.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1149490/Bokube/Bokube has a steam demo now?
>>547674643But I just did.
>>547674781Can you leave negative reviews on those? asking for me
I'll be honest I never even finished the bokube demo tutorial. He seriously needs to get that game out of his life.
>>547674803post more than today
>>547674657Still waiting for the us to invade venezuela.
>>547674457>doesn't post his gameHmmm, how can anybody boughtening your geme when you don't posteth you're game?
>>>/v/726690176So he's just going to do this the rest of his life right? How many years has it been so far?
>>547674942you wouldn't buy it though, how many agdg games have you genuinely bought?
>>547674879It's the same thing for the entire history.
>still no xisterposts even though he has been here for an hourStarting to think it's not Pedro after all. This would confirm that J*shua is the most insane and toxic person to ever post in agdg.
>>547675236OR he is just busy shitting up other boards right now.
Got a new stylized player character model, but I’m too lazy to swap out the Synty one right now. I’m just gonna focus on the weapon ability system and directional hit detection first.
>>547675038This so much this
>>547675038Well yeah, if you don't post game it does bring a comforting certainty that no one will buy it so you can cry on /agdg/ all day.
If its that dice game you just paid for gabes steak
>>547675384You will shit on me for using AI voice acting so I won't post it
Let's make it a great day
>>547675436I'm going to fucking kill this anon
>>547675436Selling games on Steam isn't mandatory and me selling my game on Steam doesn't have an effect on you so what's the problem?
>>547675545Id meet you with an axe in a ring chump
>>547675615you would need an axe you incel skinny prick. we all know that a woman could beat the shit out of you hence your compulsion to need an axe
>>547675445I don't fucking care if you use AI, just post your fucking game.
>>547675608>so what's the problem?You helped perpetuate steam as the de-facto monopoly for games on PC, leaving everyone not on Steam disadvantaged.
>>547675712Im a big boy
>>547675749>I don't fucking care if you use AIBut you do. If you didn't, you would have boughted my game already.
>>547675780that's on the players not the devs, be honest about the situation. majority of everyone on shithole steam are zoomers. okay? do you got that understood in your brain now? the zoomer players are at fault for this bullshit monopoly, nobody else
>>547675780So your actual objection is that Steam is too successful? And I don't see GOG selling games for a smaller cut. Even EGS makes up for their smaller cut with some payment processing fees so that in effect their cut is about what Steam's is.
I have discovered one of the biggest roadblocks I've had in gamedev. It was affecting my mindset and in how I develop games.>multiplayerThere's some things I made more complex since they would likely not work in a multiplayer setting. How many more things did I unnecessarily complicate? How much more dev time did I add along with procrastination trying to account for this?Feels like I'm free even if the current game may be multiplayer. Feels like prime time to project hop too just to see how much I can develop on one of these other singleplayer game ideas I have.
>>547675917Post your game.
>>547676089https://store.steampowered.com/app/34900/Bad_Rats_the_Rats_Revenge/fucking tard, i've been in the gamedev scene longer than you've been on the planet

threadly reminder that the toughest and most badass engine ever created is Torque3D
>>547676236But this game doesn't use IA...
>>547676509>he doesn't know
Back in the day fiverr was cheap which is better than ai
>>547676687>>fiverr was cheap which is better than ai>replace ai voice acting with fiverr "actors">it's so bad people still think it's aiWhat now, bitch?
>>547676687>fiverrfucking forgot that even existed
>>547676632You are a bitch. You have been raped, bitch.
>>547676793Make a character sing with ai
>>547676236Huh, can you explain why you have been crying about your game when it's 16 years old?Isn't it time you make something new?
>>547674457im sorry better luck next time good work getting it finished tho!
reintegrated gore logic into the new horde system, the exploding giblet parts are still kinda jank tho.
>>547676892I don't need characters signing.
>>547676993impressive work
>>547674294software renderer or graphics API?
>>547674502always an excuse with you enginedevs
>>547676993atmosphere is way too scary for me and reminds me of manhunt which i can't play for more than about one second after the atmosphere sets in, fuck that. which means it's a good game you have

How much money do you need to spend for a successful marketing campaign? $1k? $10k? $100k? I'd be fine to spend around $10k, but after that, I'd really need some guarantees on the return.
>>547675526what about cat girls ?
>>547677056>>547677312thank you my good friends
>>547677565You must be out your mind do you know how desperate tiktok zoomers are?$200
>>547677565hi boku
>>547677565$1k is all you need after you learn how to make viral contentjust make a meta viral video and pay for botted views
>>547677701Then $10k is only 50 zoomers.>>547677764How and where do I do that?
>>547677903put your nametag back on Boku
>>54767790350 zoomers ought to do it unless your game is shit like mr dice
>>547677903you can look up viewbotting websites for the platforms you post onbut before you do this, experiment with content to see which sort of videos do wellthen pay for botted promotion for the videos of the category that naturally gain more views
>>547677498>doesn't know how much money and how many potions I have when I finish an RPG
>>547677972that's not the pointthe point is you took the final boss's health from 1,000,000 to 0that's what matters
>>547677108Right now it's just C++ with SDL, all I do is calculate the pixel data, store in an SDL texture and pass that on to the renderer.I know very little about SDL to be honest, but it works, I absolutely want to delve a little deeper and see if I can also do some texture manipulations before it's rendered.>>547677231As it stands now, only enemy instances have a sprite and a position on the map, I want to use sprites for more things too and since my coding is so shit, I need to revamp a lot of things.Excuses maybe, but at least I have a game.
stop watching porn
>>547678045I never finish any game with zero money or consumables. And if I can defeat the final boss in dialog (like in varous Fallouts), even better.Number-go-up is what's satisfying. Even if money goes down, you get some other resource up.
>>547678140number go up is satisfying because it enables you to make another number go down
>>547674457>"today"What pushes a man to this kind of behavior?
