Is this a good game?
He is right you know. Let us put our petty squabbles aside and not squander the special gift that is being alive.
>>551551804No. It's quite bad actually.But it's living proof that a great atmosphere and setting can make for a memorable and beloved experience anyway.If ever there was a game that could use a proper spiritual successor.
if you don't like the thoughts /agdg/ has you are free to go to reddit and listen to their hugbox advice to spend 5 years on a game that ends up with 2 reviews.
>>551552121Cuffbust status?
>>551551804Yes it's a great game if you have the unofficial patches that fix the bugs and crashes that plagued it on release, which the publisher didn't want to pay the dev team to address.
round-based multiplayer sandbox with progression system (any theme) = $$$

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE NIGGAS TALKIN ABOUT MAN
I'm trying to make an RPG in Godot, and when it comes to designing menus I've just been trying to figure it out as I go. Does anyone know of any good, comprehensive tutorials on just fundamental menu design for Godot? Menus are a big part of RPGs so I'd like if I could get some kind of rundown on the basic building blocks like layering menus and stuff like that. It's something where even when I get it working I find myself thinking I'm overcomplicating what should be simple.
schedule1 will go down in gaming history as the last hype. every game from now on will only be niche games and short little trends. the era of viral games is over now.
>>551552645THEY FOUND NEW NUMBERS IN 1843??????????????? GIMME A FUCKING BREAK
>>551552645Just work in Euler angles and stop worrying about it. Unless you're making a game that has flight movement you'll probably never run into gimbal lock issues anyway.
>>551552645Quaternions is literally a chain of operations to rotate so you get to the point.But mathematicians are fucking retarded because they love their PHD language to smell their own farts.Think of Quaternions as a linked list of operations using a vector 4 to reach a point.Academics love to write in complex language because they love to smell their own PHD mental farts.

>>551552518So good games CAN flop?
The realization that I once again failed to get a girlfriend this year and will almost certainly fail again next year just hit. I'm not even gonna try to make this post appear gamedev related. Fuck my life.
>walking a camel>still made fun of
>>551553808we are the first generation of white people who's older generation think it's a good idea to make everything worse for us, to brainwash women to not marry and to not get kids, to import other races in masses. it's insane that we can even barely function in this total mess of a society. i don't think any generation ever crippled their youth this much.
>>551554351I'm gonna be honest man, I'm well past the point of blaming society for me not being able to get a gf. I know it's my own fault.
>>551551270Progress. Fixed the pixel alignment so the dithering is now correct, and in the process added a bunch of needed conveniences to my scene editor.
>>551553746It wasn't a good game on release, until the patch was unofficially out.And in 2004 the internet wasn't as mainstream as today, if you bought the game you probably had no idea about the patch. Nowadays you have thousands of youtubers and streamers looking for the next hidden gem to make a video about.Just make a good game bro.
>>551553808isaac newton died a virgin if that helps

>>551554460nothing is more important for dating that socio-economic factors. do you really think elon musk fucked a bunch of 10/10 topmodels and impregnated them because he's a cool social guy with good looks?
in a better world sword art online would have been a show like one piece, where you get a season for each stage. and we'd have 600 episodes to watch while we gamedev our own virtual worlds.
>>551554485
>>551554460found the redditor also 4chan is filled with troons and bots LOL taiwan is not a country btw hail the great leader
>>551551231The OP is incorrect and outdated. Should've copied from the previous thread.
>>551553746When people say they can't flop, they mean that a good game will get discovered eventually.It can still flop in the short term and bankrupt the company.VTMB currently sits between 600k to 1.2 million sales on Steam. And Steam isn't even the original release platform.
>>551554848>10/10>good looksts troon nga think elon is good looking LOL KYS
>>551554848I have a stable job though. I'm not rich by any stretch, but I have my own fairly nice apartment in the "cool" part of my city. I'm not even that ugly, I just radiate negative charisma which repels women. I've been on dates from dating apps before which ultimately go nowhere because the woman always realizes how much of a loser I am once she meets me in person. I can only maintain the facade of being a normie digitally. I don't think any of my friends know I'm still a virgin in my late 20s.
>>551553808He died as he lived, no game
>>551555005Two years worth
>>551553808Isolation is a gift. Everything else is a test of how much you really want it.
>>551554534>It wasn't a good game on releaseNuh uh, that's not how it works. Bugs and crashes don't make the game fundamentally bad. If wasn't a good game on release, it wouldn't be now. The bugs being patched won't improve the design or writing if they were bad.>>551555191>they mean that a good game will get discovered eventually.And how does that matter for the developer? In case of VTMB, Troika literally closed down because the game sold so poorly. Not sure what the devs are up to now but I doubt they care much for this game.For an indie who made a good game that flopped, what does it matter that it will be "discovered" 5, 10 years later? He'd have already quit gamedev by that point.
>>551555791>In case of VTMB, Troika literally closed down because the game sold so poorly.That's not true.Troika closed down BEFORE the game even released.Activison lost faith in the project and cut off funding the game giving them a hard release date.The only reason the game is released at all is because a couple dedicated autists worked for free to get it out the door.The sales of VTMB have nothing to do with Troika going under.
>>551555473and it's all because of shitty old boomers ruining our mental health. i dont care if you deny it or not. just look at birth pyramid. there cant be a healthy youth in a world full of old people who refused to breed and want pensions for 30-40 years when they get old. guess what, "losers" like you had a loving wife and a bunch of kids 100 years ago.
>>551555791>Nuh uh, that's not how it works>car has 20% chance to explode when you start it>nuh uh, it's still a good car because it can go from 0 to 100mph in 2 seconds You've never played an unpatched buggy game.
>>551555791>>551556052Also:Fear and Hunger is the classic case of a game totally flopping and finding success half a decade later and now the dev is a millionaire working on the third game in the series.
>>551556115I played Cyberpunk 2077 on release. I knew it'd be highly regarded by players even back when it was really buggy.
>>551555473>I don't think any of my friends know I'm still a virgin in my late 20s.Would they really care that much? Are you american? I've only seen americans being so worried about losing their virginity. Is it a cultural thing in america?
Focus, M
I believe in Eric
>>551556052I concede that my history was off but the point still stands. Activision was right, and on release it sold really poorly, around 80,000 copies. That's great today only for a solo dev or a really small dev team, think about how bad that was back then.>>551556213And how was the dev supposed to know that? Most of you would tell him to just give up since it was a flop back then. Quite frankly I can't blame that position because things like this only seem obvious in hindsight, and back when his game was a flop giving up on these games or gamedev as a whole probably would've been a logical conclusion. And this is the problem. The fact that failure has become so catastrophic that many good games and devs don't get the chance they deserve, leaving the industry in a sorry state and a significant portion of gamers disallusioned with gaming as a whole (think how many gamers just don't play new games at all).
>>551557038I believe in Eric and I believe in all(most) of (You) guys
Saving the json file done.I'm now enginedeving. :D
i feel heavy on my chest when thinking about gamedev. it's too hard to find an idea that hasn't been done yet. actually last time i was browsing through some cheap mobile games and browser games and it was shocking to realize that a lot of my ideas have actually been made already and failed. i think we can't even fully comprehend how many games are out there, beyond just steam. and how basically everything has been done already.
>>551557787Not really, you can't think of newer ideas because you only consume games and anime and mangas.I just developed a really original idea that is basically a rimworld or Dwarf fortress generator, like the colony sim rpg maker creator engine.
am i making gamedev too complicated? in the early 2000s it was "lol you can drive over pedestrians, let's keep that in the game" and now it's like "how can i find the perfect formula to read the market and release the perfect game that is trending and going viral right now?"
>>551558390Make the game you want to make.It's not that hard desu.This desire to maximize profit in gamedev has mindbroken the indie dev community honestly.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3228590/Deadzone_Rogue/Halting action gameplay to make you play the pick 3 seems so cancerous, to me, from a gameplay design perspective. it hurts the purity of the genre, where upgrade time is separate from arena shooting time. but you gain gambling retards as the tradeoff.Am I being hyperbolic here?
>>551558793it's retarded to expect people in hard economic times to not care about profits. so tired of being compared to nepobabies and oldfag devs who had funding because of the tech bubble where investors all wanted their own game.
>>551554485>>551551270Progress.
>>551558793Valve caused that. You have to care about profits if you want your game to even be seen.
>>551558390you're thinking too hard, your anus is clenched, your shoulders are stiffjust relax and make game
>>551559424If you want to make money you should go get a job man.Indie game development isn't the place to make money.Yeah some people do end up making a good profit but it's not at all the norm. It's like less than 1% of indie devs can survive on their game sales.
The goal of making games is for someone to play the game. The "it's all about money now" is a massive cope, because the first and most important step to the money is having a game that people will play. So people who want to make artsy sophisticated trash for themself make no money and whine that it's all about money. That's cope.
>>551559210Stop thinking of action gameplay like the action in a shooter or a fighter, but starting thinking of it as the action of blowing on the dice for luck before you roll them.
i think something broke me. i think it was my last abandoned passion project some years ago. it was in unreal engine. and it didn't work out. and somehow after that i never recovered my passion for gamedev. it's like being in love with a girl in school and then you see her dating an asshole and your whole world falls apart, as you realize that your dreams are nothing but a source of pain. and then you don't even know how to feel anymore. because your feelings clearly misled you. and oh my boy, when even the ugly girls reject you. you end up really losing your mind. same as when even your small game ideas fail. you just end up wondering if you were meant to be alive or if you existence was a mistake.
Do you guys think making an anthology collection game is a good idea for someone who hates sticking with a single project for a long period of time?
>>551554003Why are all of your posts so bad? Being "ironically" nonsensical all the time is supposed to be a millennial thing.
>it works
>>551560330kys zoomer
>>551559210I wouldn't say you're being hyperbolic necessarily, but I also think people who like this kind of game aren't interested in the purity of the central mechanics, they're interested in having a base template of a game that they can get a variety of runs with. That this example is a shooter is just someone trying to do their own spin on the real core that's become increasingly trendy as of late of picking between three different things and getting both a feeling of variety and of increasing strength over the course of a run because of it.

>>551553808
hey guys my dream is to make pong, what would be some good small projects in order to learn before i start working on my dream game (pong)? i heard that you should start with small projects and not immediately try to copy hit games.
>>551559210I can't tell from the trailer whether it stops you mid-fight or you have to interact with something to pick3. The latter is preferable because fucking up the pacing of your game just to slap a pick3 dialog box in the player's face is bad design.>but you gain gambling retards as the tradeoff.>Am I being hyperbolic here?I think being a grognard about current trends in videogames that are well within your means to incorporate elegantly into your design if you want to, is stupid. It's not like this type of system requires money or is out of your reach, you're saying the grapes are sour while being perfectly capable of reaching the grapes.However the fact that you call people who like it 'gambling retards' shows a complete lack of understanding of what you're even looking at, and indicates that you might have no game design sense whatsoever.I've played a number of games that include the ability to pick from three upgrades, in some it's more prominent than others. In Noita you get to pick one perk out of three at the end of each level, some are no big deal, some are gamechanging, some synergize with others, some will completely fuck up your run. Also I like Noita's system because the choice is presented in-world and during a quiet moment between levels.The point of the pick 3 game isn't gambling, it's to empower the player through choice from limited options, it allows them to discover and create synergies with their existing build. Maybe the reroll mechanic is gambling because it relies on RNG, but it's no more of a gamble than any other risk-based action in a game. In any case if you don't like a pick3 dialog box being shoved in the player's face there are better ways to do it.
I keep making progress late into the day. Why? I have hours upon hours available to me yet I don't get serious until night time.

Just look at gf-less butt ugly anon with butt ugly grandpa who had a beautiful wife. One lives in a modern day city where women likely see men 1000 miles away as viable marriage candidates.

>>551551231I wonder what's agdg stance on AI drama that recently blew up more after Larian studio said they will use AI in preprocess before concept art and how Expedition 33 had some AI artwork left in finished product. A lot of people on twatter and tiktok cry about AI and it makes me wonder. I do stuff in unity for my day job without any AI because of data protection reasons etc. But after work I work on some game dev project and I was wondering does it even make sense to use AI if bunch of people will try to boycott your game. I just think it would be a massive help to I don't know try to generate some art or models or try to optimize models with some AI tools or even use AI to help you write some dialogs or texts if English isn't your first language. But I see that usage of AI tools is being so demonized I really wonder what indie devs think about it, and if regular players even care about developers using AI or is it just mostly artists that are scared of being replaced.

>>551560972Moshi moshi, Jesus desu.You were a mistake.
>>551561201Around 100 arguments about AI happen on agdg alone EACH DAY.About 700 arguments in the week around your bait.AI webm? Low effort social media repost? BOOM thread's done.Also, not only are you having to deal with every retard that has no game, but the entire backlog of faggots who asked a chatbot to do something for them and it made something better than they could because they're unskilled retards :)Take all the "thread success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of AI obsessed faggots in agdg who post constantly about AI (again, 100 arguments a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "having a good thread."Blackpills, 2 weeks, Grok is the closest thing they've had to a gf, AND to top it all off: None of the people who claim that AI is going to take over ever seem to have used it to make a game. If you successfully win this "mediocrity lottery" by baiting the thread into arguing about AI you'll have to so it all over again the next thread>He thinks that we can just have a thread about gamedev in 2025HahahahahaF A G G O TAGGOT
>>551560629who did this? someone at your cord?
>>551560684>tried one code>already takenNahhh there's no way I thought to myself>tried immediate next codeBAZINGACan confirm some of those codes are still live.
>>551561201I have a hot take but I don't actually care that much about AI being used in the production side of gamedev to reduce the amount of grunt work that devs have to do. I care more about its use in the concepting phase because that's the artwork that is used to drive the overall look of the game.Most devs are doing the complete opposite right now. "it's okay during concepts but final art needs to be human made"

>>551560629If this isn't a sign you're GMI, idk what is.
>>551561201AI is fine for technical stuff but abhorrent when it concerns to actual emotional expression/creativity/beauty(art, writing, music...). There's also a big difference in having ai shit out a character design and using an ai generated texture of dirt that you would take from a photograph or a picture in google anyway. Even then you should make an effort to transform it(editing) if nothing else to prevent genericness
>>551560981No person is innocent of time waste. If I waste it I prefer to waste it on experiences that can make me grow as a dev/person/at least something new, rather than the same game.
>>551555473>I have my own fairly nice apartment in the "cool">in my late 20sShit you sound rather rich to me, you must be a top earner, in my case to have this I must make it from gamedev or wagecuck at least 20 years realistically
>>551561681this motivates me to generate, use and share more ai generated art. thanks.

They got rich or became nobles and just had lesser men give in their daughters to win benefits.Adapt to your times or die without passing on your genes, that's what it means to be a man. Sure some people in history had it easy, but some people also win the lottery, doesn't mean you can plan your life around that.

bruh what the fuck is a "dream game"? i have no dream game. i have a bunch of preferences. a bunch of games i like. but how the fuck does anybody have ONE SINGLE dream game? and what the hell are those dream games? i can't think of anything. i just want to hear a single dream game idea, i'm seriously curious what people mean with dream game.
>>551562706Anyone serious about gamedev has like 10+ ideas that they love. The hard part is figuring out which one they should work on.
>>551561564Someone on Instagram shared to me.>>551562060Nah... it's fine
>>551562060what did peridev do?
>>551562706>i have no dream gameNGMIIt's either the perfect kind of game you would like to make because you think it's a great idea or the kind of game you would like to play, or both. It usually ends up referring to whatever long term project someone is making and they are certain it's the one true game or work of their life.
>>551562891i told ya, name just ONE. everybody saying that shit but they never name a single actual idea.
>>551562908GMI
>>551562706"Dream game" devloggers are a retarded low-IQ reddit normies who don't really play video games very much, but happened to play a very artsy game like Hades one day and got inspired to make a clone because they thought it would be easy.
>>551562968Someone tried to force his character into a lesbian fan art thing or something I forget. And he didn't approve of it so they flipped out and tried to cancel him about it lol
>>551561681>Blaming muh neon yahtzees for AI art
>>551562985my dream game can't be made yet. to me the most interesting type of game would have simulated npcs with very complex psychology and interactions. maybe something like the movie "passengers" where you interact with a girl and you are stuck together on a spaceship. i think i like to experiment and fuck around and this is only possible in simulations that can't be done yet.so no, i can't make my dream game.
>>551563143>forcehow do you force a 2d character into anything, stop being a schizo, someone made fanart and he flipped out because he is crazy
>>551563143kind of retarded of him to not approve of fanart if you ask me, the other lesbo horror game made millions through that shit
>>551563038>trying to steal my game ideaI know what you're doing.
>>551561818Yeah but what if I can't do music for shit and I'm dirt poor so I can't just pay professional orchestra to make a symphony for me. Meanwhile I could probably generate something decent enough as a background music, I just worry that bunch of retards will call me a pedophile and try to burn my family alive for putting "generative" AI or whatever they call it in my game. Same for models, I don't mind gooning over 1 model... but if I have to populate entire world with assets generating them and then cleaning them up manually would be a huge help for indie solo developer who wants to make something with a bigger scope than next 2d platformer. But again if artists will try to cancel you for it... is it even worth it?
>>551563038NTA, but my "dream game" would be the next big MMO. I want to make something like a new Runescape, but RTS-like where you can control multiple characters with built-in automation so that you never waste exp. I also have smaller dream games that I'll make on the way like a Skyrim clone and Terraria, but 3D.>>551563447Just have big enough ideas that no one can steal them. ;)
>>551563038Sure which one?
we need to revive dream game making. youtubers killed all dreams and hopes with their "make small games" scope slop attitude. everybody lost their motivation since they've spread their mind viruses.imagine a world where the kenshi, terraria and rimworld devs would have made cheap mobile slop. i don't want to live in such a world.
>>551563682show me idea 67
Just make a game.
>>551563865Where the fuck is Battle Barn Tactics?!
>>551563505How about you make a creative work that works around your limitations? Constraint breeds creativity.Ex: I can't make music for shit so my game wont have actual tracks but to make up for it will have extra focus on crisp sound effects, the lack of music will make them all the more poignant and contribute to the bleak/oppressive/horror mood I'm trying to capture

AI Overlords won
>>551561201Valve used AI in their concept art for Deadlock and literally no one cares and if you even bring it up you get dogpiled. Its insane.Smaller studios are being held to a higher standard right now because they are easier to bully.
>>551552837>>551558390>>551563750This is all in your head. Zukowski and Bitemegames pushed for small games this year in the last quarter and other youtubers caught up and now you act like the market is already flooded with short gambling games and nobody is making larger games. This is what happens when you spend all your time watching the market and youtubers and not actually getting into the fray. You overthink things and think big trends are happening and they really aren't.
>>551563990Or I do anything in my power to achieve my goals even if some fefes are hurt AI was being used?Where limitations lay changed, now it's mostly how to deal with bunch of online terrorists who will try to stand in your way because you used AI.
>>551564117>Smaller studios are being held to a higher standard right now because they are easier to bully.That's the impression I get. Big studios will sell the game anyway, especially if the game play is good. But smaller studios and indies might be dead on arrival because early on retards will band together to cancel them over using AI for music, art, models etc. Basically seems like those anti AI woke retards are gatekeeping game dev from solo devs and indie because big studios won't be affected by their tantrum anyway.
>>551560684what the fuck
>>551562706That depends on who you ask. I have multiple dream games. While youtubers will call their low quality clone of an existing game their dream game. Yeah I doubt it, more like buttering up the audience. Especially when their dream game looks artistically low quality nor fun

what if the future isn't about new ideas, but about polishing and extending all those small indie games that aren't possible to scale/beautify yet because the devs lack resources? in the future everybody will be able to polish their ideas. so it's not about inventing anymore, but all about making those thousands of ideas playable.i mean, lots of ideas happening in the last 10 years were probably thought of in the 80s already, yet they didn't have the tech to make those games. actually there's some old ass voxel algorithms like marchung cubes that were invented in the 80s, yet only in recent years marching cubes games became a thing.

If your only "hobby" is gamedev, you're hard NGMI. You need to diversify your hobbies so that you have sources to take inspiration from. Get into fitness and cooking at least.

did unity stop working on new features for the last 2-3 years? all i see is thousands of bugfixes in each changelog.would be cool to get a CSG editor again, cause all the ones that exist don't run in newer versions. godot has one out of the box.

>>551576513What I don't understand is that never happened with unreal 4. Its an unreal 5 problem. It can brick your project too, I really don't get why there hasn't been more demand from developers for epic to fix that shit. Actually when you bring it up they act like its normal and just blame you for not using version control as if its unthinkable to expect the same level of convenience as the much older Unreal 4 editor.
>>551576513>does anybody here really enjoy working with unreal?
>>551575923Maybe if your game is what you place your hopes on. For some of us our games are a form of escapism.

>>551577042nah I just solve the underlying problem personally
>>551578076This might seem kinda retarded. But I've been using Renpy and pygame for a long time now. I bounced off of everything else, unity and unreal put too much strain on my laptop and Godot is kinda gay and RPGmaker is ACK. But despite the issues with renpy redraw, and focusing more on optimization I've been able to make some cool stuff in terms of minigames with renpy, you really have to like think out of the box and work a lot on optimization for stuff that's not just basic bitch VN shit. But once you get past that barrier, I've found I can make a lot of cool stuff since python is such an easy programming language I dunno, I like it

>>551580516The line is blurry, just like how fitness and cooking go hand-in-hand, since a significant portion of fitness comes from nutrition. Figuring out which shampoo and conditioner combo gives you the best volume is both fashion and hygiene.
>>551580382>Hygiene can be a hobby of sorts.In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

i think any surface level stuff in your game should be made by the developers hand with human intention because it results in a better final product. AI models, sounds, voices and textures, even concept art are all just the devs being too lazy to do shit the way it SHOULD be done. I even feel that way about gameplay code like how jumping feels.but when it comes to the underlying systems and engine code, or the tools devs use to author content, that stuff is fine to pull off the shelf or generate because it is (mostly) just supposed to be this specific way. theres no reason to build that stuff by hand because there's no merit in creativity in those domains. all that matters is that it works
the most important thing about your game is that gamers respect it. when they play it they have to feel that they are inferior and that your game mogs them.
>>551584331reading books is unnatural and only doable on meds. no animal would ever do this.if you are labeled ill for not being able to read books, then all animals on this planet are ill.
>>551578627>godon'tYou are so close though ...
>>551587674its the opposite the foundation can't use AI because it has to work and the art can be not perfect because most people will just overlook and buy it based on vibes, so if you just don't use the generic run-of-the-mill slop from a single prompt you'll be fine

>>551564117Did Valve label their game as AI? Or do the rules only apply to other games?

I honestly think games are better when they can be easily modded, similar to mugen.So I am just gonna start making basic editors to edit my game json data files, and load them externally.

Are you making a game other people will want to play or is it for an audience of one?
>>551596606audience of one, (me) but I have incredible taste so I think others might enjoy it too.
>>551591367Why does this dev sound like Cris?
>>551595957waste of time if you have no players
>>551596606not even one. it's for nobody to play. I'm just making.
>>551589901Just played through it and it's the best game I've played in a while. Mogs most AAAs to be perfectly honest. Game kicks ass>uglythe art is really good in most places, shitty in some but what game do you think looks good>>551595173I also just played Ctesiphon before BC and was thinking Stomy could have learned a lot from it. Especially the level design, enemy design, and gunplay. Every game could learn from the gunplay
>>551596606Something I really want to play. I'm making an effort to tone down the autism so other people will not get filtered however.>>551597365Self-made editors are good.

>>551590874All of those games (or their sequels) are still popular, some even more popular than they were 10 years ago. It is trve that devs don't make these games now for some reason

>>551600089>>551600269No not that kind of exploration, more like a walking simulator where you’re in a city and wriggle your way into people’s apartments and meddle with their personal lives. Probably won’t even have combat since that seems hard.

>>551600743Laugh nigga, but it's true. 1. No access to steam or regular platforms + Constantly being banned2. Have to basically give out your game for free because nobody buys porn games when f95 exists3. Have to focus way more on art4. Art has to be good enough for people to donate to you5. Donation has to be every month so you now have a deadline if you want to growYou would drown and die.

I'm trying to make a RPG game with devil daggers's graphics. so im asking you guys if you suggest me one. btw, im a total newbie to game making but i have this game idea in my head and im so eager to make ita second question unrelated to game engines: If i present my game idea with a demo to a game company, will they even consider taking it? I've read a lot on the internet about game developers saying they dont wanna hear ppl's idea because they may sue them later for stealing ideas, but i dont really know, what do you think?
Seems people are working on a retopo tool
>>551601206is this bait?
>>551601228That's awesome!That and tools like cascadeur are examples of how AI SHOULD be used in game development. It should be used as a tool to assist the artist.
>>551601414My bet is on profound mental retardation.
>>551601468I just googled AI retopo and found this because I could really use it right now but it's in closed beta sadlyhttps://80.lv/articles/new-ai-powered-tool-to-automate-retopology-for-3d-artists
>>551600763Progression is that you’re eventually able to turn into other creatures, that can fit in different places and/or have certain skills, which turns everything into a puzzle.

>>551603878No, don't listen to him. Toby didn't invent goats.
>>551604098you know his goat is 90%+ toeriel, look at yours, has nothing in common with his other than color
>>551603550cute. what was the previous title screen?
>>551603961>>551604098yeah i love cavestory and that was my initial inspiration... but i must have picked up the toriel fanart headshape in my brain while browsing furry art... it feels distinct from the vanilla toriel art but not sure how the "fandom" might think

Honestly, not gonna copy paste AI code.It's a pain in the ass later to try to fix some bug because you didn't write the code, and AI loves to write cryptic schizo BS.
every monday I purchase and consume a 10lb hamthat is my only sustenance for the weekat first my body resisted, but then it changed to accommodate the feeding style in order to become the ultimate gamedev physique
>>551604825This general is full of nodev tourists from /v/ who'd rather post their shitty /v/eddit gamer opinions here because they don't get much traction for repeating the same roach king opinions over there again and again.
>>551604934i think your goat girl looks fine as is. no need to change her just cause another game has a similar design on goat people.
>>551605284No, it's full of nodev avatarfag /d/iscord pedophiles who have lived here for 5+ years without even considering making a video game.

>>551605408lolidevs only shitposts about lolis, not the gaming industry
>>551605728I've been making games since before your country had access to the world wide web, boy.
is there a term for when a game succeds despite being slop because it is the first slop of its kind and therefore "interesting"?
>>551605284I agree it's obvious too. They really get off on the idea that their stupid shit is getting into the heads of gamedevs. And there are many anons like that here, they never leave because why would they? There is no reason for them to ever make a game and they will never have to show their game in order to get people to respond to their retarded "gaming is le bad now" blathering. It's so stuuuuuupid man I can't stand it. Permanently stunted retards who hate videogames and can't find a new hobby.
>>551605781Proof?
>>551605679too bad, they will pull the levers to call rusty old elevators and listen to the kathunk whether they like it or not

If the game is fun it is kino.If it isn't it is slop.
>open itch io>first page is all ps1 styled slopi hate trends
>>551606360I hate zoomers, we aren't the same
>>551606360add nurbs to your game then call it ps2 style
I hold no hatred within my heart.
>>551606412is ps1 popular with zoomers? why?most weren't even alive when the thing launched.
made her brown, totally different character now, will pass the ai test as well i reckon
>>551606091Its okay to make mistakes anon but lets say, in the future, if you can't be assed to properly read the post then don't reply. Okay?
>>551606636genetic memory of things they never knew were stolen from them
>>551606360The ps1/2/early 2000s low poly is unironically going to become a timeless art style
>>551606840just like pixel art
>>551606360I see this one similar to Wasteland Bites https://twotinydice.itch.io/shaken-not-stirredThese "serve someone something" games are starting to seem like a can't miss genre.

i tried to picture clusters of information as they passed through the compiler were they like cheerleaders ..

>>551607054this one is not ps1 thojust someone dithering AI art
My game has a transgender dragon. I'm going to make it because I don't fight the inevitable.
>>551605457No they didn't. Toby is very honest about how much yume nikki influenced Undertale and your pic's second sprite is not real
where are the ps1-likes with vagrant story or mgs graphics?
>>551606709>>551605427>>551590874>what happen to indie studios like project zomboid and subnauticaThey made RV there yet, the exact game you just mentioned. RV there yet is made by a small indie studio. Your premise is stupid it makes no sense to anyone who is actually paying attention and isn't just eager to make a stupid opinion about le current state of le industry.
When you think of the PS1, you think of ugly pre-rendered backgrounds hosting 3 polygon untextured characters.
>>551607229>dithering AI artwhile shading is confusing to many zoomies, it's not an indicator of AI
>>551606684nope
>>551607465I was more of a saga frontier II guy.
>>551607489if you can't immediately identify ai art at a glance, your ngmi
>>551606840It already is and so is pixel art efficient and soulfulhoes mad
Just stop talking incorrectly about videogames okay? Everyone knows videogames are MY THING.
>>551607641I thought there was no way they could make a game worse than saga frontier, but they somehow pulled it off
>>551607643funny you say that, since it's not AI. you're NGMI mate.
>>551607753>heh, don't you know it stops being ai as soon as I apply the dithering shader to it?

>>551609868zoomers are 25 now
trusted sources have also told me they were too similar. changed them to a single horn appearance.
a video game about pajamas
>>551610212Soiled it
>>551610212undertale plagiarized cave story anyways
>>551610212But goats have two horns, now she looks like she's part of an alien race.
>>551610218It's spelt pyjamas, retard
>>551610212change it back. Toby is not going to sue you ffs
>>551610013you know what I mean. old retards use "zoomer" as a blanket term which includes gen alpha while they gossip about their behavior and interests like histrionic schoolgirls. it's really pathetic
>>551609187Yeah dumbass
>>551610212the in-game one was fine. the 2d art was a total ripoff albeit. making distinct but appealing characters is like trying to come up with a melody and every time it's some popular song...
>>551610212Just make the horns a different color instead of being the same as the fur.

>>551611618https://voca.ro/15qJDxLA760e

>>551608207Do you have a version with pixels
>>551612259Unlike you, I'm not poor turdie, so I can buy ads. It's not my job to make longform videos of my game. That's for soiface ecelebs to take care of.
>>551612090Youtube producers complain about youtube more than devs do about steam. You should kill yourself because you're a brown subhuman.

Where do yesdevs get their infatuation with their particular game idea that they spend 6 months to 3+ years on?
>>551612827It's easy for a game that has gone through external validation like getting a lot of wishlists or retweets.
I don't know anything about anything.But textures are just images right?I picked up the house of the dead remake recently, and while I saw that there was a VR mod, no one has done a demake mod with the original assets?How hard would it be to rip the textures from a different release and get them inside of this game?Or is everything like encrypted and it's not that simple to mod textures or models?This is the file type it uses. Unity I think?
>>551612815way to prove him right retard
>>551613117tldr
>>551611865>The constant valve glazing is so old man.What I find strange is how many times Valve fucks up and how much both devs and gamers forgive them for it.Paid mods, Steam bot problem, constant massive outages where the ENTIRE platform is down, 0 quality control on the store, I could go on. Somehow people forget all that and keep glazing Valve.Seriously, imagine if literally any other platform had something similar to Greenlight, which was free for content creators and driven by user engagement, got gutted and replaced with an admission fee and 0 quality control, all because the platform's holding company was too lazy to deal with bots? They'd get chewed alive for that. But Valve? Nope, our hecking friends 'caue hella sales!
>>551612827You just start making it not knowing where it stops and you'll continue making it no matter if it flops because this is the dev that never ends, it just goes on and on my friend, some people started making it not knowing where it stop...
>>551612827God chose me, that's why I was given divine intellect
>>551612827I got sunk cost feeling 2 months in and decided the best thing to do is just wrap it up and shove it out the door asap. I'm 4 years into wrapping it up.
>>551613325you're retarded
>>551613117Every Unity game I ever tried to rip assets from was easy to do so with free tools you download online. You can tell it's Unity from the directory structure.
>>551610212appeal lost
>>551613461Neat.Okay wait, but after everything is ripped, how can I repackage the .build files to replace the textures? Would there be a good tutorial on youtube?

It's me Kasha Dev.I'm working on several games at the moment. My game Kasha vs. Kritters was shown at The V3rdict and I am also working on another game with Kasha which is a 3D PS1-style isometric minigolf game. Progress is happening on the golf game, slowly but surely. Managed to fix a camera issue that was bugging me.Kasha's first game has a Steam page now. Plan to release sometime in 2026.

I was thinking of naming her "Katia" at first but at some point I ended up pronouncing it with a "sh" and I just felt that sounded better.She has a big tiger woman caretaker named Milchi, whose name means milk in german. Both their names are coincidental but it means they're both "porridge and milk".
>>551612827I don’t have to spend 6 months to 2 years on it. Time isn’t real. I’m working on it today. That’s all.
Gabencunt has took his pay.....
>>551614531I'm using assetripper, I think this is the first time I've filled up my RAM, it's using 28GBs to rip this game, interesting.
where are the loligaems?
>>551614452>>551614793cute loli
>>551615567
yesterdays progressadd some "stuff" down theredont know if im gonna even use the model in the game at this point. Maybe ill just give it outyeah still too lazy to do the hands
>>551616554
>>551616554This is so gross, why are you a pedophile
>>551616554Nice.
>>551614452>Hope this is the start of good things.It's not. You haven't emailed a single influencer. You've seen many people in /v/3 flop and you have done nothing to make sure you're different, Reconsider your actions while you still have time.
>>551613117I found UABEA to edit textures and replace .build filesBut when I changed a texture to just a green square, same .PNG or .tga format and file name, the game refused to load the first level?I'm guessing it has fail safes in place in case a file size changes? Or I need to edit additional data don't I? I even tried to put the original exported texture back in, and that failed to load even after importing the raw data back in as well
that was such unproductive bull. im willing to have people think it looks like undertale girl. tried my best to make it distinct.
>>551619516Pls Castella dev just use this style >>551603550!
>>551619716yeah maybe im just gonna go back to how it was and just darken it a little bit
>>551618793Who should he even email? Okayu? Since she is a catgirl?
>>551619516Maybe just stop making sexualized goat characters you annoying faggot.
>>551619516It looks original now.
>>551619924>>551619980nah i caught my swag and it's telling me i was on a good path. no fear is necessary, only love.
>>551619516huge downgrade desu.use the original color
>>551619516Why not just make the horns a different color from the body? That should be enough to differentiate it from Undertale.
hello everyonetoday I decided I will make a game with no experience (even in coding)a lot of you seem like porn addicts, I believe this will give me an edge
>>551619795NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS A GOAT JUST USE WHITE!!!!!!!
>>551619823Dev is pretentious enough to say all of this about fighting games. Take it a step further, tell ecelebs that they're devoid of morals, and maybe they'll keel over.
>>551620530my porn addiction gives me an edge actually
>>551620251NTA because it's a retarded shitty idea
>>551620673A white goat having white horns is already a retarded idea, fuck you Toby.
Bloody benchod basterds!
You were all so captivated by the sussy goat that no one even commented on my new title and graphic. Its CORN. Call me corndev from this moment.

>>551622316Back when gabencunt didn't take his pay...
>>551622589>>551622578what if im not doing anything with it, like ever, im having to use an engine a professor made for my uni project and the task is to make a maze, but I'm not finding any easy solutions to have empty space between the maze sections, so I'm thinking of putting a dummy room there just to take space, the engine doesn't support it being meshless either
>>551622771It doesn’t matter at all
>>551622613Gabencunt was getting raped by his publisher at that point and he decided he was going to rape the entire industry - and he did.Real talk though. The funniest shit is reading about how Half Life was almost a flop because Sierra Studios didn't want to advertise it. Now Valve kills countless studios by refusing to advertise their games.

>>551623046>The funniest shit is reading about how Half Life was almost a flop because Sierra Studios didn't want to advertise it. Now Valve kills countless studios by refusing to advertise their games.Valve is not your publisher.
>>551623549source?
>>551623546>i'm giving them money and using their product but i'm hurting them
>>551623539True
>>551623549and yet they take 1/3 of our revenue and publish our games on their storefront.
>>551623678Exactly like GameStop. Is Gamestop your game's publisher?
>>551623549So what are they taking 30% for?
a game where i compete with steam, but don't implement a shopping cart and pay each month for games to attract 0 new customers
>>551623759a difference that doesn't make a difference is not a difference. storefronts have many of the same roles as publishers, but to a lesser degree.is a guy who you pay to work on your game your employee? what if he's a contractor? from fiverr? you can quibble over terms, but Steam owes me at least some promotion for the money they're taking. if they don't want to give it to me, I'm allowed to hate them and to tell everyone they're a bad deal for gamedevs.
>he's releasing a game in Q3-Q4 of 2026, in direct competition with GTA 6
>he thinks gta6 is releasing next year
>>551621378How much did it sell worldwide? In the US alone, if the game was $60 a copy, then that amounts to a little over $1.6m but I doubt that's how much the copies were sold to stores who would then sell it to people. So idk maybe $50 a copy? About $1.35m pre tax revenue.>>551623539Butt ugly anon with butt ugly grandpa..... :(
>TakeTwo's releasing a game in Q3-Q4 of 2026, in direct competition with Bokube
>>551623789For giving you access to their customer base which they built over 20 years?Anyone who complains about the 30% cut outs himself as someone with no game. I made SIGNIFICANTLY more money from people who bought my game but never played it, than I lost from the 30%. This wouldn't have been possible on Epic or selling my game physically, it's only possible because of the vast amounts of people on Steam who impulse buy games. I think you're all just underage and never saw a world where you had to physically buy games from stores.>>551623997>Steam owes me at least some promotion for the money they're taking. if they don't want to give it to me, I'm allowed tonot put their product on their storefront. You know the terms and you're willingly signing up for it. >a difference that doesn't make a difference is not a differenceThere's no difference. They're both storefronts with limited possible visible space they can show to their customers. Even GameStop will only put the best selling games in the front row and your shitty asset-flip way in the back. But enough of this I'm clearly talking to children here, come back to me when you've had to file your own taxes.
>>551624608>For giving you access to their customer base which they built over 20 years?But they don't? This "customer base" you speak of doesn't see your game unless you make a million dollars in day first. Which means they don't give you access to it.
>551624608>Valve deserves 30% because they have a lot of customers >But they don't show your game to those customers>And that's a good thing
>>551624608I meant the difference between Steam and a publisher is only a matter of degree.Imagine if Steam decided to specifically blacklist/shadowban your games so that you specifically got NO organic traffic even though other games do, and you had to drive every single visitor to your page from external sources. After all they're not contractually obligated to give you any specific traffic, so you have no cause for complaint if your game got shadowbanned like that. Would you consider that fair? Would you be a good little cuck and say like>Oh well, the contract I signed doesn't specifically prohibit them from doing this so I'm fine with it even though everybody else is getting traffic.We're all entitled to act like dicks and be selfish, but most of us aren't.When I shit on Steam here, I want to warn gamedevs that they're signing up for a winner-take-all system and that they shouldn't place all their best on Steam.
>>551617482dont worry ill post more
>stalks devs on 4chan>muh 30%!>has no game>is pedo
>551625627>folds immediately and resorts to ad hominem
Folds immediately? I just woke up and looked at the last 30 posts homie. It’s only ever you here intentionally driving devs away.

>>551552518not only didn't want to pay them.they offered to do it for free but publisher forbade them to make any updates.
>>551552645this is incomprehensible even in "simple english" wikipediayeah I'm stupid, so what. I still make games for a living.
>>551624608i guess if steam is giving you sales that you would not get without steam then YOU are the parasite and should be giving THEM 70%
>>551619489Cris you've been awfully lucid lately, what happened?
theyre copying my stylemy drip too hardthe consequences of making a good game...
>>551623997>but Steam owes me at least some promotion for the money they're takingFun fact: If you're not happy with Steam's services, you can't just simply take your game off Steam. You have to perform a whole song and dance to convince Valve so that they would actually allow you to delist YOUR OWN game. And of course forget about refunding the $100 admission fee.And then remember that they'll refund any game to any gamer if they have played for less than 2 hours for any reason, no questions asked.
>>551628664>when the company is so pro-consumer that it actively fucks over the people doing business on their platformmany such cases
>Steam 30% pedo general
>>551628836>valve>pro-consumer
>>551628836Idk if it’s still true, but Walmart was famous for doing this for a long time. I’ve forgotten how exactly, but it was pretty common for them to basically pull smaller companies that supplied to them under into bankruptcy.
>>551628836>many such casesnothing he said was a lie. i've personally been through the delisting "process". it's on the trying to cancel a gym membership tier of hem and haw protocols.and being "pro-consumer" by being anti-creator when your business is entirely based on connecting the two is just landlord shit. the moment they replace gamedevs with AI youre never getting a refund ever again.
so the strategies for placing props on procgen terrain are:1. sink the prop as much as it needs to sink so that its foundations are all at least at terrain level or under (could sink too much if terrain is too even)2. flatten terrain below the prop (but this creates a problem if the prop lies between two terrain segments)3. calculate the average slope under the footprint of the prop and bank the prop accordingly4. simply reject the prop placement

Absolute fucking kinographyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7MjajqDtjU&list=RDw7MjajqDtjU&start_radio=1
>>551628836there's the argument that Valve being pro-consumer with refunds results in those consumers being more comfortable spending money on Steam which is a net benefit to developers as well.
this thread is literally just /v/ that you might as well post in /v/ insteadthe gabennigger/valvenigger posts threads in /v/ too
>>551629958Except what this leads to in actuality is consumers either essentially trying games for free (so no benefit to developers) or they straight up commit refund fraud where if your game has no DRM/only Steam DRM and isn't multiplayer, they just crack the game and then refund it. Or they can just put Steam into offline mode, play through the game without hours being tracked, and then refund the game after completing it.

Valve apologists almost never provide any arguments in favour of their position though. It's always personal attacks and insults. Why is that?
Are the valve apologists in the thread with you right now?
Yes. One just responded to my post.
>>551631151the only apologia I have for Valve is that listing on Steam is not mandatory. until Gaben gives a billion to Trump and Trump makes it mandatory.
>>551631645>listing on Steam is not mandatoryBut /agdg/ says that only Steam matters because that's where all the gamers at. Wouldn't that make it mandatory in this case?

Can a gamedev who is openly and vehemently transphobic make it in today's world?
Who is gogem.pro?
I wouldn’t know, I’m not transphobic. My brother is FTM. He’s afraid of needles, so I was the one who did it for him. Ruined his life.
>>551632168how would transphobia even come up for a mentally sane gamedev? I have male and female choices in my game and no neo-pronouns and no one's complained yet.
>>551632495what if a tranny appeared on your steam discussion forums and had a melty about "male/female"?
>>551632148cool, thanks anon
>>551632380My opinions on transgenderism aren’t relevant to game dev and don’t come from the internet. We were physically and sexually abused as children, and the doctors who helped my brother transition did not take into account his developmental disabilities or childhood abuse when addressing his gender dysphoria.
>>551632561then we'd all get to make fun of them
>>551632693your sister
>>551633161And then the tranny goes nuts and falsefies evidence of your game being a virus and gabencunt has to ban you and your game from steam now. What shall you do then?
>>5516296255. dynamic foundations
>>551633174It makes him feel more comfortable. Life sucks, I’m all he has left.
How to i include my profound hate for transsexuals in my game without tipping off the average redditor?
>>551633532sure, I can get behind that. keeping her close is the only hope for redemption.
Will you still be here when /agdg/ is kill in 2026?
>>551632561I'd say I have no resources to implement such a change at the moment and warn/ban anyone who was being abusive to xey/xem and not discuss it any more?
>>551633401oh wow this never occurred to me and to AI who I asked. neat, I could just have a foundation prop to add under the building/whatever and it could go inside any terrain.thanks, anon.

dev feels like a burden now to me, cause my brain wants to minmax gamedev, work on the best possible idea, be sure it makes money, be sure it's doable before even starting, have absolute certainty that it'll work all out. but that's not how it works. failure is part of the process. but i have become unwilling to risk anything anymore.
>>551636786>i have become unwilling to risk anything anymore.then you shouldn't even be game deving. you should be getting a government job
Gamedev is my unburdening. I don’t have to think about the horrors of war or all the women I’ve lost to bad habits. Just like, make game.
How do you guys think World War 3 is going to affect Steam sales? There will probably be a lot less games being submitted.
>>551637038I've never had women.Never had sex.Don't have much money.Probably won't make much money.Just make game.
