You are forming multiple personalities to debate with on your design choices while you dev arent you?
>>553312690Do people throw hissy fits over people using AI for coding?
got raycasts working, i thinkthere's some weird bug still here
>>553312703You just use the chat for the AI? No code editor integration? I'm leaning on this as well, except that autocomplete really is cool.>>553312687Ah, I guess I wasn't really thinking of tedious code itself. I just remember having to write/edit a ton of xml back in the day to map files to tiles and other such things. I think you could use an AI to speed it up a bunch. Or are least make it feel less tedious.>>553312797Have you tried using AI with Godot? Does it even work with GDScript?Also, an added question: what source control tool do you guys use? Git? Perforce? Svn?
>>553313215kys wojaknigger
>>553313302>You just use the chat for the AI? No code editor integration? I'm leaning on this as well, except that autocomplete really is cool.Yeah. I coded most of my game already, so AI is just doing polish and UI stuff.

>I'm not a tranny but if you want to fantasize that I am one I'm not gonna stop you lol
Unless you're enginedevving, there is zero reason to have version for your one-man indie project. Keeping a backup is good but it's not like you need to be able to branch shit or revert to previous stable versions.
i wonder why maid cafe anon did it. he could've just held out and polished the game up before releasing. even playing the demo random bunnies seems to be missing their textures or whatever its called. feels like he just screwed himself over on purpose or had no idea what to do so purposefully released it to force himself to drop the game and move onto something new or even quit gamedev. why maid cafe anon, why? ;_; your game had potential you just need to give it a makeover on the art, in its current state that price point just feels way too steep to me.
>>553312917hey fellow noticer, I think this may be interesting for youI managed to trace some messages back to august that I'm pretty sure is the same loserhow do I know?I posted this image back thenhttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/534037394/#q534078142it was edited later with a very similar look that this imagehttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/544600948/#q544666243if you look in the thread, there's an arma post tooI haven't found the Oppenheimer edit, I think it was posted before this one, but the obsession with trans and the projected samefagging accusations are already therethe conversation starts herehttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/534037394/#q534068364

wtf, is Panic Floor reddit?
>>553313302I use perforce. I'm working with another dude and we've never had any problems with it. Makes it easy for us to work on the game together. When you sign up you have to enter a valid phone number though and the company WILL actually call you to ask what your use case is plus you have to buy a license to let more than 5 people access your server (technically you can have up to 20 if you share accounts). Other than that its great.
>>553314102if it works for me that means it fucking works
Who are some good game development streamers to watch? I want to stream the development of my own game and would like to see how other gamedev streamers go about it.
>>553314250lmao are you some kind of cuck? letting some other man stick his cock in your code? do you sit in a chair in the corner and jack your tiny pecker while he does it? fucking queer
>>553314250Cool! I'm glad it works well for you. I did not know about the calling you part of Perforce. That's some social anxiety generator.

Lets be real. The blowback against AI isn't real.If megabonk used AI shit (it probably did, but didn't announce it), it would have sold about 50 less copies overall
Great thread
>>553314987gamers love AI. "artists" and "voice actor" trannies are creating a false consensus (even here) that Ai is "le bad" without any actual arguments. Gamers overwhelmingly want AI, because it's actually based and adds sexy women, and it means these trannies are no longer needed so can be fired from their jobs. The bonus is that games will be better and cheaper too.And this is just the beginning. Very soon gamers will have the capacity to create any game they want just by thinking about it. Gamedevs are obsolete.
>>553314027Thanks, I'm undecided how much detail or shading to give to the environments but it's a sports game so it's mostly soccer field lookin fields.

>>553315218yes, reviewbombed by seething trannies who would never buy games anyway because their too busy dillating and spamming on /agdg/. AI is the future. Embrace AI or you WILL be left behind.
>>553315238Many such cases...
Can anyone in the anti-ai camp explain to my why it is that literally every single 'dite is an actual tranny?
>>553315290>>553315238Fucking tranny freaks actually think they can get away with this. Well guess what? You can't. Try this in real life, actually fucking try it, you'll find out you fucking trannies. I will kill you.
This is your fault, before any tranny starts trying to falseflag as a concerned poster. You brought this on yourselves.

>>553315867Yeah, thread was too cool for a minute>>553306258 and naturally it causes the retards to meltie in some fashion. They just can't hang. We've discussed this before. This "hobby" causes low IQs to genuinely freak out at being over stimulated or around high IQs they don't know how to act and they have all this anxiety from not making games themselves.

i wonder what bevyposter is doing right now
See all this acting out right now, this is what happens when people pretend to have a hobby that they can't actually do. And gamedev has a way of chewing up and spitting out new victims and turning them into this, there's a new one every year and they all end up filtered and never leave because that would mean admitting defeat.Grim.
>>553317114Where's the moderation in this joint?Save us Jannies!
>>553317114This happened in music too. People became drug addicts and destroyed their life at the realization that they can't actually play music well enough to hang in a bar scene let alone become a rock star.

>>553317114Oof makes sense. I think most people can't admit defeat. I absolutely suck at gamedev but keep trying nonetheless. I wish I had a teammate or two. Just me and another aggy bro or two, at least 1 of us an artist (not me obviously).

>>553318690>tranny thinks they can quote mefucking tranny faggot you will be shot through till you burst and deflate
>>553318136Right and your instinct isn't to flip out and try to disturb people around you just because you found things difficult, you might even decide to give up and you wouldn't feel the need to "punish" strangers on the internet about it. But other "people" are not like that, and they are the kind of kids who end up getting put on meds or put in special classes because they're doing shit like stabbing their classmates with pencils and screaming during lessons because they hate being stupid.It's really tricky being an adult on the internet in charge of your own destiny for some people and their first instinct when they are overwhelmed by something as massive an undertaking as gamedev is to flip out. Pic unrelated. Posting pretty for calming effect.
You can now unlock figurines n stuff like SSB tophies. You can also unlock other racers, vehicles, and tracks, as well. Would be fun to collab with other indie devs to get their stuff in here as figurines. :]

Trannies cannot make a game, or make anything really. They're too mentally ill to even use a tool like AI, they jsut spend all their time rotting their axewounds off in discord calls while planning with other trannies and also jewish members of our national governments to find ways they can traffic little children so they can rape said children. It's so fuckin sick it actually mnakes my heart sink but Ir ealise I must stand firm stand strong aginst this terrible threat I am the tranny killer no tranny shall live trannies LOST. Thatis my creed,m y credo I exist to kill trannies and you are my first target...
>>553318802Heh. Everytime gamedev gets too hard I either try brute forcing it or give up for the time being and do something else. Me flipping out on an anons isn't gonna fix my code or improve my art. I might make a rant post but not 100 consecutive rants in 1 thread lel. If only I had a gamedev team, just focusing on one aspect of it would lighten my burden. Also she's very pretty.

>>553319210true.
kek that got the trannies to shut up
Blog incoming. Reading is voluntary.Another snowed in neet day. I spent the entire working day yesterday tinkering with lights in one important scene in my game. I really shouldn't be this relaxed about progress. My days kind of blend into one another and that leaves me with the illusion that time isn't passing and that I have plenty of time, which I don't. I need to adopt the mantra of good enough. Like for example these grocery store pastries. They're not freshly baked or flaky or whatever perfect croissants are supposed to be but they're cheap and filled with custard and tasty and good enough. The coffee too is just the cheapest store brand instant coffee, but it's got caffeine and its bitterness contrasts nicely with the vanilla croissants so it's good enough.Anyway, what I was saying is I need to stop tinkering with bullshit and instead keep adding systems and content. If the game is janky on release, so be it. I'd rather have a janky flop by June 2026 than a polished flop in 2027. Do games even flop for being unpolished and janky? Or are those complaints something that arises only when the game already makes it?Thank you for reading my blog. There is no need for comments, (You) need to get to work on your game.
>>553319178>thank you for amplifying my message tranny
jesus this tranny nigger sure is uppity! Guess they got really triggered by being told that the ycan just rape children without us stopping them and putting them up against the wall the wall of a gas chamber as well just to make sure and then straight to an incinerator so nobody has to smell the disgusting stench of their rotting inverted penis axewound taint which smells even worse tahn the corpse it is very loosely attached to- very loosely as it is rotting and falling off their body as often happens with these trannies

Kill gabencunt now
>>553319162Wow!!! You reminded me to check, I guess I'm sitting at 3,033 wishlists now.... insane...Progress has been on and off, I'm mostly on my own here, I've been trying to nail down the recipe for perfect track road geometry and I think I did it a couple weeks ago with Blender's geometry nodes. I gotta crack away at that now, making race tracks. Mods and everything are working beautifully though, been spending lots of time on CPU racers n stuff. I think it's mostly just adding content ahead of me.
>>553319837It's a placeholder, actually but it's the general vibe I wanted. It's from LENNOZ on YouTube, I tried to contact him to see if he'd let me pay him to make something but he's MIA.
This general sucks, and has for a while now. It used to be progress posting. now its just tranny wannabe ecelebs looking for a place to hang out inbetween twitter posts. please post webms of progress. im sick of seeing the same dogshit anime reaction images.
>>553319357Ohhhh you're getting a comment and you're gonna like it. I completely get it, I move at a lax speed with gamedev and even when I move at what feels like a fast speed, the progress is just pathetically small. What did I get done yesterday (its past midnight)? These prototypes were literally to move quickly on finding a game I can do rather than wasting months/years only to find out it just isn't reasonable for me to develop it. I need to stop getting hung up on the art and making sure the code is "perfect." I really, really need to release something and soon. It's 2026 or bust at this point. I fail at releasing something and gamedev is taking a massive backseat. No cheating by making garbage and releasing it just to claim I did release something. I really hate how gamedev turned out for me. My first game went so well and then just years of nothing completed. Oh and I'm a neet too but might get a job this year, I can't avoid it anymore unless something happens positively to my networth.
>>553320272Sorry bro but I've been focusing on writing and refactoring and other kind of background stuff. I haven't made visible progress in months. (Also my game is kinda anime inspired so I don't think you'd like it anyway.)
>>553320091>Wow!!! You reminded me to check, I guess I'm sitting at 3,033 wishlists now.... insane...Do you do any advertising of any sorts? It's a lot more than mine though I don't do anything.
>>553313120nah
it works
>>553321142
>>553320091Isn't making it multoplayer hard?
Waiting for the store to open so I can purchase more dev juice...I miss when they were open 24/7
>>553321142Will elf archer game be in the next demo day?>>553321351What is your dev juice?
>>553321593kombuchaI should probably learn to brew it on my own but my hobby is game dev not homebrewing
>>553319357My game was going to have so much soul in it, I planned like 20 different funny idle animations. Now I finally came down to making them, I ran the numbers and it's going to take me 4 months to make them all, which is simply not an investment I can afford anymore, so I have to pretty much cut most of them out.I always wondered why people even make bad games, surely they realize their game is soulless before they release it, why didn't they just make it better? Now I understand why. Everyone likely starts with a genuinely good game in their head, but they trade away bits of the game's soul one compromise at a time just so they can actually release something, until before you know it, there's nothing left.
>>553317114>>553318802I never considered this before, but it all adds up. I've gone through some long periods of no productivity myself, but that also meant I stopped gamedev-related stuff in general. Only once I started "marketing" aka scoring cookie points on social media, is when my no productivity started to irritate me, because I was still touching daily the "social circle" of gamedev, without the thing to back it upCrossing it with all my experience here, I can see that it does drive people to madness, as they attempt to do whatever, just to be included in the hobby space. After all truly trying, going for the dream of making a game, is for fools, right?"Steam will steal your money, other devs will steal your idea, you get a profit minimum wage, and the economically efficient thing to do is to get a real job. Your hard work is worthless because AI will be able to generate it. Look at this stupid unique game making all this money! Gaming is a zero-sum industry!"Those who actually make games are "retards" and "kys". It became uncool to try and make games in /agdg/ and that is the crux of all problems. So instead we got endless crying about all sort of crap, from tangentially to completely unrelated things.
>>553321856It be like thatSometimes you gotta saw off a limb to save the whole bodyYou could always just keep certain things but scale it downInstead of 20 idle animations just do like 4 or 5
Be honest frens. You instantly have a catelog of every single current aggy dev, anyone who's posted in the last 12 months. From this catalog every single dev is ranked from 0-100 on their overall gamedev competency with their most defining trait being listed ie pixel artist, level design, programmer, shader pro, musician, etc. It also has a fren-ship ranking, it just knows how well you guys would get along. You can, from this catalog, team up with anyone whose overall ranking is within 15 points of your overall ranking. Would you continue solo devving or do you finally give up and team up with 1 to 3 other anons?
>>553321593>Will elf archer game be in the next demo day?I didn't make that post but yes it will. I'm going to sleep now.
>>553321856The ole>I want all thisAnd eventually you realize>just making all these animations will take me x months or x yearsAnd then you settle>umm here I'll move the characters arm on pivot instead of animating all possible items held and the enemies will have these things on pivots instead as well
>>553321856You know what hurts the most?When someone who plays the game mentions something you had originally planned but scrapped due to too much scopeI wanted that too...
>>553322057yall are incompetent ill make it on my own
>>553321081I haven't done much advertising, I've done probably less than the bare minimum, I've posted a few gifs on Twitter but with minimal interactions. I think wishlists are coming from searches. I believe it's all in the name, to be honest; it's just called KART. The idea was, if you look up any kart game on Steam it's right in your face. Though I am surprised how well it does considering how barebones the page is right now. I guess I underestimate it?>>553321334Not really! It's not really more complicated than syncing player positions and stuff, you just have to make sure all players have the same content loaded. The mods have a unique ID for each piece of content (a Hash128), and in-game the content is indexed by that ID. We can use these ID's to ensure the host and the client have the same stuff. So, "load racer with ID 1rj5hav6... and vehicle with ID yeb73vkq..." happens the same way whether you're playing online or not, the only difference is how those IDs are delivered to the loading system.
:/ I feel bad now. A game being shilled at the botton of the page just a moment ago. Went to the steam page.>1 reviewIt's not ugly, just not somerhing I'd buy and play. ;_; it's sad, just how many people put effort into their games only for their games to just not be a success or even just a tiny success? Lately, I've been feeling down a lot.
>>553322557I see it tooAbsolutely zero appeal for me, but I'm le hardcore old school gamerSomething like this would be a free flash game a decade or two ago
>>553322557>tfw look at the reviews>the one reviewer who paid is a 4channer who clicked the ad>review actually seems genuine with 10+ hours played;____; I'm tired of struggling. I'm just so tired. I wish I could've gotten into gamedev an extra decade sooner, maybe things could've been different?

>>553319357do you heat these up?
>>553322057I'm not interested in splitting profits with strangers on the internet, I don't care how skilled they are or even if they're great pleasant people to work with. I wouldn't even make a jam game with another person.
Hey Wasteland Bites dev if you're on, how do the wishlists go?>>553319357Vanilla? I think the grocery store near me just makes them plain buttery bread. The Mexican grocery store might have a vanilla variant though. They have a lot of neat desserts compared to the other grocery store. Wasteland Bites devs game reminds me of it when the radio is playing.
>>553322057I luckily already teamed up with one of the best artists in the general
>>553322557>just how many people put effort into their games only for their games to just not be a success or even just a tiny success?same goes for other forms of entertainment by unknown authors.Brandon Sanderson (the guy who got funded $40M on kickstarter) wrote 13 novels before his first one got published. it's just the nature of the work. chances of success are tiny but the sky is the limit. or you could become an average barber and make a living being your own boss, but you can only have so many customers a day. or you could go be a wagie. or a neet. those are the choices.
>>553322057there are talented devs but they have too much individuality. for example i'd love to work with dingodev or pogo but i feel like they would just do what they want and not be tamed for team work. same is true for me, and ideally i would like a grounded leader who can use me well despite my shortcomings
>Try meshy3d>Its mediocre and expensive >Try nano banana >Its mediocre and expensive>Try claude >Its mediocre and expensive AIchuds lied to me
>>553323861>same energy as womwn on dating apps rating 80% men as below average in looks
>>553323339I just want a lil dev team to share steam chocolates with. And if I'm not being too greedy >go for lunch together >talk about crazy things we might or might not implement in the game, we're having fun and that's all that matters >play some coop/multiplayer games friday evening with some pizza >have a drink party on release (well couple of days after release, first we gotta watch out and fix bugs)>share funny memes and fanart of our game in the team chatroom >go together on company budget to game conventions all over the world, PAX, tokyo game show, etc. while pretending it's for "work"
>>553324008so you want friends
>>553322057I would remain solo. I'd like a musician, but nobody here seems to make much atmospheric stuff.
>>553324008sounds like happiness. my problem is that i care about my findings and "truth"s too much and I value it more than friendship. I cant take someone's side because he's my friend. If something goes wrong, I have to analyze it from my perspective only. Basically it's a light autism of sort maybe. so i end up not being able to maintain this kind of relationship. i like joking on discord and thread.
>>553322057I'd just continue like I did. Dev for myself, do some Models or something for others if I feel like it. I'd also full Time dev on someone elses Game if it'd interest me enough and if I'd not be too busy with my own Stuff.
>>553322194Then you add it post release>They listened to the fans!
>>553324115Well, gamedev friends specifically. I have normal friends but they don't really care about game development at all. We play games online every couple of days, we hang out Fridays occasionally for a drink and everyone just talks about work and relationship and then we go back our separate ways.Having friends in the workplace (aka the place where you spend 8-9 hours a day) is probably the most ideal, since you can share humor on the same struggles and topics.
>>553324424the guys in the pic were all salaried employees when they met and went their separate ways in a few years.
I don't want to brag... But my game? It is going pretty well. My game will have 3 types of zuc magic... And then I'm going to fumble the ball by putting an anime girl in the capsule art despite the fact that it's not a coom game.
>>553324424All my gamedev friends are from opposite corners of the worldIt's discord or bust
I'm gonna put more titties in my gameIt already has some tittiesBut I'm gonna put more titties inAnd then make those titties knownIt isn't a titty game, but a game that has titties withinPeople don't even know about the tittiesAnd that's an issue
>>553324542>went their separate ways in a few years.Every does eventually. But they still had fun together and messed around while they worked.
so when 3d artists sculpt unique faces how many references do they use? do they use 1 for big things like jaw and another for small things like mouth nose? or do they a different reference for each thing?
>>553324542Remember Romero was forced out of id by carmack and co after quake released.
i feel so much love for (you) who try your best.stay strong! and focus on what makes you happy.
>>553324008I'm 38I am the most racist man in all of historyI don't play games anymore (spent 10 billion hours doing so over the past 30 years. No dopamine receptors left)I gamedev because there is absolutely nothing else to do anymoreI don't have any interest in anyone anymore, because everyone has wildly different hobbies nowadays.I am also quite possibly some kind of cult leader.I would share some steam choccies and have a coffee with you tho (yes, even if you're a tranny)
>>553325049what if im black? but MKHBD white collar type (not YN)
>>553324008Just make an anime for yourself where all of this happens. Then sell the anime to all the other devs who enjoy fantasizing about this situation. That's basically what you want is for your life to be a gamedev anime lol
>>553324883pics and the passage of time make everything look better than it was.
>>553324323Come Dev on my Game. You can be Head of Immersion, making sure my Levels are Immersive enough. This is a serious offer.
>>553325049>I am also quite possibly some kind of cult leader.
>>553325049I'm 38 too. The least racist man in history, and I still play games. I dev because it scratches all my creative itches, combines them into a neat little world. I would also share choccies.(Yes, even if you are turbo hitler)
>>553325250Whats your Game?>if I'd not be too busy with my own StuffI still need to make my own aswell tho.
rewrite my voxelrenderer and i'll share my chocolates with you
>>553325049>>553325339I'm also 38. I mostly play games from 20-25 years ago. I gamedev because I need money. I'd sell those chocolates (unopened) to some gamedev youtube grifter so he can larp about getting them from Steam. I'd sell them even if I got them from Steam because my game made them a lot of money because I want money. every dollar invested is a humiliation averted in my old age.
>>553324931Really depends on the art style. Pro sculptors have studied anatomy pretty intensively, so can make up a lot on the fly. For cartoony, A front and side from the concept artist, maybe a 3/4 view, and they are good to go.
>>553324931>>553325717has there ever been an agdg game that used sculpting and it made sense to use sculpting? how detailed your characters need to be for sculpting to be useful?
>>553325230Maybe. But you can check out stuff like the Half Life anniversary documentaries. They often interview multiple people together, and you can tell the guys are bros. I mean, they worked in the same company for 20 years, they're probably closer than most people are with their families.https://youtu.be/YCjNT9qGjh4?t=1668https://youtu.be/YCjNT9qGjh4?t=2146
>>553325049I'm 41 this yearI am the most racist man in all of historyI play games with friends and the occasional roguelite. I like Noita. (I can't play games that take too much of a time investment like I used to.)I gamedev because it's fun, it's just a hobby.I have interest in people, my wife and dogs love meI am also quite possibly some kind of cozy happy personI would eat all the steam choccies to myself, I have no interest in ever meeting any of you reprobates.
>>553324008Gabencunt has took his chocolate...
>>5533231878280its still gaining 150~ dailypublisher said its prob gonna be a hit, traction is more important than final wishlist numberd
I'm just gonna do 71 characters * 10 diferent ages.Basically each age will be a diferent costume, of an anime girl trope, a fantasy isekai trope, or historical costume from some IRL group, metal costume.But make it so the only real change is the age basemesh, plus reuse the haircut, and the costumes will be designed to use the least variations in 3D meshes possible, and the real diference will be the textures and shader coloring.
>>553326048sorry bro... zucjeet said you need 5000 wishlists per day or you might as well kill yourself, his exact words.
>>553325717i want the semi realistic style of korean games like lies of p, stellar blade, the first descendant, and i'm not making them from scratch i will use either daz or metahuman i just don't know how to convert these generic ugly models to something unique and pretty>>553325919they're not that detailed in gameplay but i want to make them appealing for promotional shit.
>>553326091fuck off cris
modeled a gun
>>553326809That's a massive opening for a Flamethrower, assuming it is supposed to be one. Also no Fuel Tank anywhere, and no Igniter. Depending on viewing Distance the Kabels might be invisible, or barely visible, so you may need to overhaul that, make them thicker, or remove them to safe on Geometry. There is also barely any Room in the Gun to handle the Mechanisms of it. If it's for a first Person Shooter, view it from that Angle in Blender, to see if it looks good from there aswell, as it is now, it might just look like a stretched Block. There's no Trigger anywhere. It looks like the Edges are beveled, but it is missing Details anywhere else, so why bother with beveled Edges? Clashes a bit on the Style, if you got the Tris to spare to bevel your Edges, add more Detail.What Game is this for?
I'm gonna steal famous popular saying and historical and literature quotes from around 71 languages, because they're on the public domain.
>>553327136>>553326809Triggering /k/fags is based, keep it up.
>>553327136thanks for the feedbacki don't think ive got the skill just yet to add more details without it looking messy, but we're getting there day by day.>it might just look like a stretched Block.OBFdev said the same thingmaybe i'll redo it before next-next demoday, but i just needed a nicer weapon to get started instead of using a temp model
>>553322057I would gladly cooperate with someone on a friendslop game, if my current game earns me enough. even become roomates, inshallah.It's not giving up, it's recognizing my limitations. teams are stronger than individuals, if managed well.
>>553320535>My first game went so well and then just years of nothing completed.Many such cases. But consider that you may be making a game that can't be done both quickly and well. In fact choosing to make a game that can be done both quickly and well is half the battle.
>>553324424if i hit it big with my game i'll start a /agdg/ game dev sharehouse
I had to visit a dentist to clean up my teeth. I'm now ready to dev.

>all of the assets i got on fab are UEi just want to make an asset flip.
A whole bunch of artists I follow on xitter have started making games. I hope it's just a new year resolution rush and they'll burn out soon, they're making progress too fast and I still need more time.
>>553329828actual gamedevs who ship don't post their games until they look about what they'll look on release
>>553329828>they're making progress too fastthat's just the way it is, it's 1% of work to get something to start looking good and then 99% small hidden stuff that takes up the rest of the time
>>553329828It's likely that most of them will burn out. It might even be do to the game making process taking away from their drawing time. I can only wish them the best.
anyone ever try contacing these indian contractors big studios use? they seem to be willing to make small assets but I'm assuming it costs a few grand.
>>553327550I just happened to have a Miniature Flamethrower lying in front of me that I wanted to paint this Evening once I'm done devving for the Day, and thought about the Differences.>>553327589Oh, it's for Space-ToK. Ignore most of the Stuff then, with how far away you are you'd need bigger Details. I'd say, thin down the thickness of the Barrel or turn it into two Barrels, make the non-barrel Part in the back a bit longer not only for some mechanical Parts, but also to give her a more comfortable Grip on the Weapon. I think having both Arms constantly angled back like that might make it more Difficult to hold it, then having more Distance between the Grips to be able to hold it more relaxed. And add something to hold Flameable Liquid. Probably also thicker Cables, so they're properly visible and don't just fade into nothingness.
>>553328456It was anon
>>553330291kys
>>553328456Eric here, it was my gf.
>>553330456>>553327589Forgot to mention, of course you could and probably should add most of the Details on the back just through the Texture. a few different Panels split by a black Line, some Rivets around them as Dots or something should probably be enough.
>>553330456>>553330883>tomo makes a better model in 10mins than i did in a daydamn, some things never change i'll try this, why not. if i get anything, i'll post resultsthanks again
>>553330771based Amber
>>553331117Not really, my Model is rushed and too cluttered. Also there's no Texture. There's a fine Balance to strike on the Details if you're that far away with the Camera.

>>553334585>wagmiYeha! Welcome back Hanzo. Ryugawakatekiwokurau!
it's the best time ever to make a game and the worst time ever to sell a game. somehow every progress in society is a zero sum game, because in the end the only ones getting richer are the government, bankers and investment elites.for most people "progress" just means they are becoming obsolete. a machine is 10000x more effective than a human, yet wagie slaves and their masters still guilt-trip you into working.it's like playing factorio but all your resources go to space jews and you have to farm by hand, although every resource is owned and you aren't even allowed to farm by hand, unless you farm in a way that gives 50% to the space jews.
give gamers what they want
>>553331608>My game is a love letter to-Closed the video.
>>553334901Yes the system is unfair. So you learn the system and play it the best you can. If you're not white you can make fake day care centers and get rich. If you're white, you can at least join in on the grift by buying silver and gold. Anyone who doesn't buy gold, silver, or bitcoin, it just giving their money away to the rich because they enjoy doing so. You can also set up businesses in other countries where laws are more favorable. But yes, the western world is completely owned by foreign bankers who few the common man as less than a serf. Less than peasant. And they will probably kill them all one day when robots are smart enough. They'll release a virus and say it's the anti vaccine peoples fault, but hey the rich all survived and robots are immune, so, who cares.
>>553334971i can't and i'm fully aware of it. gamers want big budget mmo's with esport and matchmaking or content-rich mmorpgs like elder scrolls online or guild wars 2. they also want really good looking graphics.our job is to find the glitches in the gaming matrix and hope we get some slave coins so we can live a less horrible slave existence.

Has anybody here made a profitable game on Itch?
>>553335419In school we did a business sim. And I dominated. I made millions and everyone else lost money. This wasn't a stock sim, so my win was their loss. Anyway they were all like, Anon how'd you do it? How did you win. And I'm like, uhh.. I found invisible gaps in your defenses and rushed. They all looked at me like I was autistic. But i didn't know how else to say it. It wasn't based on calculations. It wasn't a repeatable strat. What I did was based on the variables at the time and my intuition and gaps in the market that I attacked.
Need to come up with a name for my game. But everything I came up with sounds too hard to pronounce for the mass of niggercattle or is too generic. How do you guys come up with names for your projects?
>>553336247Bastard bitch 3: Bloody Benchod Returns
>>553334971give games what?
>>553335194Big budget mmos fail all the time. That's not what they want. That's what you want. What normie is talking about guild wars 2.
>>553336303Sorry, I already went through that phase. Thought of everything between Nigger Annihilator 9000 and Pajeet's Currynigger Journey.
>>553336241basedintuition is victory
>>553336394Then combine some words.Think like "Niggercunt", which is a mix between "nigger" and "cunt".I advise against 1 word names because they're either uncopyrightable or are already (legally) taken.
>>553336381you must be living under a rock lmao. you have no idea how huge the mmo playerbase is. even albion online probably has more active players than all indie games combined.
>>553336532I already thought of the subtitle, something like [title]: The Niggering. But I need the main title. Something snappy and memorable. It doesn't need to be related to the main game.
>>553336680Your best bet is combining words then.
You cannot market your game because you do not have a following. We're not in the days of forums and imageboards anymore, you can't get eyes on something just by posting it. If you post from a 20 follower Twitter account, no one will your post, regardless of how "well-targeted" it is.There is no such thing as "finding your audience". People interested in your game are not all hanging around in one spot waiting to be marketed to. They're not all in the same reddit, they're not following the same hashtags, they don't have the same youtube recommendations.(You) do not and will not have a following, any advertising you attempt is shouting into the void. You need to find someone with a following (a streamer, youtuber, influencer) to leech off of. Their followers are your audience. Most of them will not be interested in the slightest. But if 5% of a million viewers even so much as look at your steam page, that's 50,000 more people than you'd reach posting from your shitass blank Twitter account. If even 5% of that 5% buys your game and enjoys it, that's 2,500 people who will recommend your game in whatever faggot discord servers or subreddits they're in.
>there is already a company and a Roblox game with my game's name
>>553336793the main two options are to study social media algorithms and learn what type of content gets the most views, then make that sort of content as promotional material for your gameor have an already popular friend/influencer/content creator shill your game for youyou either go with the megabonk strat or the northernlion stratnothing else works as well, these are the two strongest options

But if you can't make it, you can tune in on Feb 7th to watch myself and Brim go over the entries and rank them. As part of the game jam we will be having a modifiers vote from Jan 27th-29th. Modifiers are required mechanics to be worked into your submission. Each day you'll vote on (3) modifiers and the one with the most votes will be the required one. A list of potential modifiers are>Permadeath >EXP/Level up system >Balatro Jokers >Yellow paint marking the path >A dodge roll >An annoying millennial sidekick (think Miles from Metroid Prime) >Multiplayer (don't actually do this one it would be way too hard) >A big titty shopkeeper >A full, original sountrack >Mouth made SFX >farming, like literally farming plants >day/night cycle >enemy crabs >fishing mechanic >an AI chatbot >educational content >annoying and unfair mechanics >poop humor >very horny dialogue >betting >lootboxes >drugs >killcams>all in-game text must rhyme >Elemental weaknesses and resistances like Pokemon >Implied blowjobs >Jiggle physics >A fully voiced narratorUnless you guys have more ideas.

>>553337720I wanted something like Ouroboros, but it's unpronounceable. Then I thought of Hatchet, but it's too generic and it might make people think of aggressive women, which my game is not about. The subtitle I don't want to spoil, yet. Anyway I want to work with a title that's about snakes and/or axes.

>>553338017First thought of those two things together is working in the idea of "Cut off the head of the snake" as an expression. That's probably not useful but it is what it evoked first in my mind.
>>553338275Well, if it helps, my game's antagonist will be a dragon, and an axe is the first weapon the protagonist starts with.
>>553337794I'm liking this new farm/country theme you guys are doing for this and the June show. Feels more comfy than before.
What do you guys like the most about the community surrounding your videogame? I, for one, greatly enjoy the large amount of fan art my community has, and still to this day continues, to produce. I feel like the more artists you can attract to your community, the better.

i've noticed that lack of confidence is basically a form of being avoidant of success. without confidence you cannot make or release anything. you'll always talk to yourself that you ngmi and that it wont work out. you gotta admit that you want to become a millionaire with gamedev and then have some confidence in trying your best, otherwise your low confidence attitude will cripple your ability to even try your best.i dunno how to word it better than this, but i really think there's a connection here. constantly telling yourself that you are just this small shitty hobbydev will automatically lead to trying less, to work less, to learn less. because it's like telling yourself "it wont be worth it".

>>553336793Games have blown up off endorsements such as Sseth, Mandalore, etc. The mechanics of osmosis changed but with the right endorsements even some jank can turn into an overnight success.

>>553341254You're falling off buddy.You can't just ideaguy and art workflow only, we need a shitty ass little game prototype now and then to keep it fun.You're washed up. There are better, faster schizos out there taking your schizo crown.
>>5533414062d enginedev isn't that hard. Especially since they didn't have to worry about graphics apis or shaders or most of the stuff we have to worry about now
>>553341560last year I was grinding philosophy, history, mythology, game design, music production, art, 3D animations, shaders.Too busy grinding art and things related to game design and writing to make a game.

Fuck it, I'll just get CC-BY assets from Sketchfab, due some basic due diligence to see if they weren't stolen, modify them a bit, and hope they don't turn out to be from some litigious company. It's either that or spend 2 full-time months modelling basic assets. Risk management and resource management decision.

I have been working on a moving train with its environment with some help of a fellow dev from here.
>>553344397shut the fuck up zoomer
>>553344406based
has anyone here ever paid someone for testing
>>553344493no
>>553344491Shit that's cool, what game?
>>553344627I've paid to get tested for STIs because my first girlfriend was convinced my body count is in the triple digits. even though I was a virgin.if you mean game testing then no. if you can't get players to test your game for free, you're not making a good game.
>>553344808Fygoon?
>>553345149Post you are game.
>>553344785
hm hard choice, spend all night listen to zukowski or listen all night to nodevs who cry about how hard gamedev is and troll the thread cause they are so desperate. what option will have better results to improve my life?
>>553345576work on your game
>>553345564Come on frog, we're all anonymous here
>>553345567Oh so it's just purely background cosmetic stuff. How'd you get together to work with that dev from here? Discord?
>>553344397It looks pretty bad honestly. And I'm a fan of what he's going for in theory.He's trying to create the visual style using a post process filter instead of actually making good, low fidelity assets.He should look at Cultic.
i've yet to see an actually good game flopyou guys are way too concerned about how you will get people to buy your game when your game sux
Do you keep a dev diary? Do you think it helps to log your thoughts and achievements during dev process?
>i've yet to see an actually good game flop
>>553346056We got in touch during DD streams just having fun and chatting about what was going on stream. Eventually we shared each other's discords and have been talking for the last 2 years.DD isn't only to post your games, you can get a lot out of it.
>>553344491I played factorio recently and realized trains are fun. I really need to think of a train game.
i've yet to see an actually good game flop
>>553346134>It looks pretty bad honestly.200k wishlists. It doesn't matter. You're overthinking things. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much would you say you enjoy playing video games? You might lack passion.
>>553346181Castlevania SOTN was a commercial flop.SNK games have been commercials flops in the last 2 decades.
>>553344397>posted it again awardim starting to think the dev himself is posting this trash herekill yourself immediately
>>553346181happens every 25 years or so
>>553346471"Good game = anything I can see that sold well. Hindsight makes me a genius"
>>553346541that was my first time posting that specific video, it was released a day ago, did somebody else post it? it has a lot of attention right now, it's not surprising to see people discussing it
>t. ideas guy
>>553346541I want you to think about your thinking and what it says about your brain and IQ.That game has 180k wishlists and is getting 1500 wishlists a day. Why would the dev waste his very valuable time posting here to get visibility among aspiring game developers?Let me stop you right there so you don't think too hard and hurt yourself: there is no reason the dev would post here.Think about why you thought that.
>>553346521>>553346615im talking about modern indie games
>>553346472He gained those because an AI prompt that went viral. My bet is they wont' convert when people see what his game actually looks like.>>553346342They're trying to replicate a pixel art -> 3d scene conversion. Not a retro style specifically. I think Cultic is more successful at it.
>>553346838kys
>>553346639good game = good game
>>553346838>: there is no reason the dev would post here.So. What.Eric Barone is a millionaire from his game and he still posts here from time to time. Just because you are famous does not mean you'll stop coming home.
Speaking of flops.I want to get some insight on this thought. Did games like Cave Story & Yume Nikki succeed due to there being low amount of notable indie games at the time? I know they're also free. Which does help, but if they released today with the same amount of marketing they did for them years ago would they have flopped?
>>553346845so in the olden days when there was a lot less competition, good games with marketing budgets could fail, but in the modern times with twenty times more games being released, good games with no marketing budgets can't fail?you need to think this through.
>>553346983Eric Barone is not shilling Haunted Chocolatier here because he's not a retard. if he was coming here at all, it was to give us advice and encourage us.
>>553347046yeah crazy that i would be referring to amateurly developed games in the amateur game dev thread>>553347085yeah. times have changed. steam exists and everyone is on the internet
>>553346868>He gained those because an AI prompt that went viral. I also think there is a yuge market for an Elder Scrolls-like right now but by the time you finish it the real Elder Scrolls would be coming out.
>>553346775Oh please. They release unplayable games with terrible UI and awful combat. It did just about as good as expected. Tim and Leonard would have been well served to just have a boring lame completely ordinary white guy to fill out their team. Someone who would just be like, can we just cut this shit and get a playable game made please?
>>553347217I'm basically on Eric's level and you all hate me. Can't be a messiah in your home town. If Eric was home grown, you'd not show respect. He's only respected because he's NOT from here.
>>553347350How does that sound in any way like chatgpt lmfao. Like ya, I'm sure chatgpt categorizes them by Jew and Gay and would think to add a normal white in. Chat would for sure think being gay is not normal. Dummy

Fygoon, Nikolay, go to therapy! It will help you.
>>553344397Looking forward to playing when it comes out in 6 years
>>553347145Just good timing it seems. I can give Cave Story some merit since it does have the gameplay & art style to carry it. Yume's art does give "first game project" feel. It's music is it's only saving grace. The trippy, isolating theme is a novelty at it's time, but with shit like the Backrooms taking off. It would've just been another RPGmaker game.
>>553348095>6 yearsI think that's very optimistic unless he gets a competent team to help him out
>>553348261He isn't doing it solo>I'm Dominick, the Lead developer>"No AI, made by me and artists like me"

>>553347957saved
>>553312917wait it wasn't fagoon? Unbelievable!
>>553348586So its an art project that'll have minimal gameplay? No thanks.Wish he would of posted here, some of us could of talked some sense into him.I am so sick of "devs" putting art first and gameplay last. Every single one of them does this.>Oh, I like art. I also like games!>What if I made art into a game?>Gameplay? What's that? I'm an artist, don't you like how pretty it looks?
Start doing pixel art, but use lots of mixels and rixels, steam gamers love those.
>>553348915He said it would be like system shock or thief.
>>553348586>competent team>artistsyeah, for what he's making he'll need a lot more than artfags
>want to quit my job and spend like 6months making game>worry that with all the random aishit that happens I'll be fucked if something notable happens while I'm not working>or if I don't get enough invested to carry me if AI obsoletes software dev careerwhy couldn't I have just bought bitcoin....
>>553349136>like system shock or thief.Guarantee you this basedfag hasn't played either.
>>553344397I feel like this is going to be one of those cases of 'our game had 100000 wishlists but we only got 200 reviews! wishlists are dead!' type stories. It doesn't capture what was cool about the AI videos its trying to emulate, the videos were just paintings in motion, rolling vistas, good composition, dramatic cloudscapes in the sky... If you try to make a game like this you just end up with Daggerfall
>>553349669>the AI videos its trying to emulate,His game came first though. He was just like hey this AI video looks like my game I've been working on for 2 years already, check it out.
>>553349669This is pretty much HD-2D with very crisp and clean pixel-like art but every clone goes for that horrid PSX dithered style that's nothing like the original, I don't get these people but it's understandable why you'd go for shader gimmicks instead of actually good art.
>>553349669>you just end up with Daggerfallexcept you'll need a 5070 to play it when it gets released
>>553349669that castle looks ridiculous. the mountain is like a miniaturized mount everest and the castle is just there like *poof*
>>553349669The massive scale and potential is what's intriguing about that webm.You see a huge castle that dwarfs the mountains and villages below.The graphic style is secondary to the scope I think. You could do this in any visual style and it woul be just as captivating.
retro art style fatigue
>>553348687I think that's right and yeah that would be the biggest factor. I feel there was a game that was popular on 4chan first than got some mainstream attention after without the creator marketing it.
>>553350026*Actually his 3d pixel stuff goes back to 2020 Right place right time to have a swordy game with 3d pixels.
>>553350262You are aware they built castles into Mt sides, like Poof, right.
>>553350262>it's not REALISTICspergument
I dunno why people cream themselves over that gif so hard. We have games that are actually like that right now.
>>553350887no they didn't
>>553350351>The graphic style is secondary to the scope I think. You could do this in any visual style and it woul be just as captivating.It's not that hard to do because it's basically just perspective and composition trickery. For a competent mapper/level designer it would be easy to make it but since composition and level design in general is a lost art, many today can't even comprehend what made this particular gif so interesting.
>>553351052dark souls looks cool but the elden ring deepfried look is fucking trash and the overdone fog removes any sense of scale
>>553350887they didn't build them on top of mountain peaks though.>>553350895to a discerning eye it looks ridiculous. but if it's meant for children I guess it looks cool.
>>553351186For a linear game, sure.But what people want from that webm is an open world game like that.They want Elder Scrolls.
>>553350262Yes its retarded, AI makes retarded things that don't make sense which appeals exclusively to retards, that's why people don't like it. It's like having a dream, but in the light of day and with a waking mind you realise it's not possible to recreate the dream in any meaningful way, and you could describe your dream but nobody would care. AI creates dreams and mirages and the moment you try to turn these pale visions into something real like a videogame it will always crumble to dust in your hands.>>553350351No I think its the graphical style, and to be honest revisiting Daggerfall with more/better sprites might be something worth exploring.
the people do not want elder scrolls
>>553351356Open world games never were and never will be viable for indies. Besides "open world fatigue" is also a very common sentiment among gamers now.Connected hub worlds would be enough. Shit, I'd even try to design something like this myself but nobody is making a game like that + I don't like fantasy that much.
>>553351364>but in the light of day and with a waking mind you realise it's not possible to recreate the dream in any meaningful wayTrue, it tends to be like that. But I imagine an actual way to turn that webm into something meaningful is frame by frame generation, which is very computationally expensive to say the least.
in the age of AI, completely handmade games will be more valuable than ever
>>553351364Daggerfall is already worth revisiting. Ok the Shadowglass game looks better but Daggerfall Unity is a complete game with tons of mods available and they can play it right now. They don't, which is why they won't be playing the Shadowglass game either when it comes out 5 years from now.
>>553351856Man I want to make an Elder Scrolls-like so fucking bad.
yeah there will be a pixelslop revolution in the age of ai
>>553351726>But I imagine an actual way to turn that webm into something meaningful is frame by frame generationWell yeah, there are 'games' like that already but they have no persistence, the AI is just generating the next frame of a video. If you turn around and walk back the way you came to go back to a dungeon you saw, it won't be there because the AI can only generate new shit.
>>553351739how will you know which ones are handmade?
>>553352051Nothings stopping you but yourself. Get to it.
>>553319357YOU GOT THOSE CROISSANTS OFF UNREAL MARKETPLACE.LOOK AT THE LIGHTING.LOOK AT THE BLACK LINES ON THE MUG TEXTURE: IT'S FUCKING PIXELATED!!!!
>>553352205the output of soulbearing entities just feels different and resonates on a different frequency
>>553322956yes good.Now I want the wolf girl to discover a dark cave then get kidnapped by an undiscovered tribe of feral fishmen where she gets put in a cage and needs to be rescued because she doesn't like all the raw fish that the fishmen feed her.
>>553352051Make one interesting room that goes into an interesting walled area with tantalizing hints of a wide open world beyond. Or just choose one of the Elder Scrolls to mod and see if you really have some interesting experience to offer or not.
>>553352371but ai can do pixelslop just like you
>>553352051>>553353164I would get everything working in a medium sized city area, release it for free on itch.io and see if there is enough interest to keep going forward with it.
>>553313076>Valve doesn't make games
>>553353753They don't
>>553312690
>>553353507start with a small area, make everything work great and make it feel good to play. then reassess. I think for a single developer, even an area the size of a city in Oblivion would be a multi-year effort.

>>553353227I'm working on an engine I call SLAVE. It incorporates an image editor similar to Aseprite right into the browser based engine editor and records every single click a developer makes and everything is handled server side.

>>553354836What really annoys me is that he titles the video "How to make [X] in Unity" but all he does is poorly replicate the visuals of a small scene using a bunch of free textures and models. He doesn't do any code or attempt to replicate mechanics. His 'texture work' is bringing free photos into photoshop and adding a stylize filter to them.This shit is pathetic man.

My Secret Tip Gamedev Tip: Nofap to Improve Focus and Energy! (11:24)
>>553355106That's acceptable. Not everyone has access to a good camera or art studio tools. Maybe I'll integrate an AI that just generates basic figures.
>>553352979wow that sounds fun. they should definitely be caged.>>553354970yes. boobs
>>553355573Vitamin D
>>553351739I wonder how long will it take for visual labels and badges to become a unofficial standard with AI stuff. Like in the food industry where they put "Bio", "100% Vegan", "All Natural", "Non-GMO", "Organic Product" on everything that's not explicitly disqualified from it. I think I've seen simple sunflower seeds with evident labels like "Gluten Free" or "Raw Food"! As long as you don't go overboard (and obviously don't include AI generated stuff in your released game) it can even be used as a cheap and effective marketing tool. Not everybody's willing to pay more just because the game is handcrafted, so baking the extra in the base price is not optimal. Luckily there are other ways to gain additional financial support from those who care so you won't miss out on those bucks.
>>553355256Right. I mean I appreciate he puts skin in the game and actually makes full length games, so I can't hate on him too much. But sometimes he does things that shock me. Another funny moment was Jon Blow was explaining AI to him, Thomas says AI is debugging his code really well and he just throws in bloated code cause it works. Jon explains some of the downsides to this. Thomas says he doesn't understand. Jon says it's alright, you're an artist, you have to be a programmer to get some of this stuff. Thomas says oh I do program, I've programmed for 10 years and am the lead dev on twisted tower. Jon just stares into the camera shocked and is like...huh...ok....
>>553355415idk. worth noting that the game still kinda looks like ass in motion but maybe it'll get betterhttps://x.com/omwgamestudio/status/1993335119013462521
>>553355573the key is to still invoke the gooning energy which you transfer into dopamine which fuels your dev state. put on binaural asmr audio while working. this works time and time again.
https://x.com/omwgamestudio/status/2006833724298826052vile tranny d1te eric schizo wont like this one
>>553352341It's funny that you seem to actually be rightHe posted croissants that resembled the below at some point:https://www.fab.com/listings/36065a1a-c821-472d-989e-2ff1db66154c
lol honestly i think the main anti-ai issue is that they feel superior to everyone else because they can code, and they were paid well until now, that's why they are freaking out, it's obvious, just use AI and ignore the screaming retarded transexuals
>>553356098Gaben did this.
How do you go at designing and implementing a feature, either as a prototype or full fledged, and given its level of complexity, how much time does it take you?>Start with pongYes that's the point, I made pong (with the menus, speeding ball, score and everything), and I'm now trying to prototype a game with a few mechanics but I find it a bit confusing because the fun features (gunplay) depend on the less fun features (having equipped items do something) which themselves depend on the boring part (an item and inventory system as well as UI). Ideaguying the former is equally as fun but designing the latter as to not produce spaghetti code takes time and it's frustrating when I'm tired. In the end, what starts as prototyping how bullets will ricochet around and penetrate objects snowballs into designing how the inventory/item system should work and be structured. I figured I can simply make another project and prototype gunplay independently, I think it's better code-wise (loose-coupling and whatnot) since it will force me to separate both item and shooting logic, but I still have to design it.So far, for any given mechanic, I first put my thoughts on paper and pseudocode what variables and methods I'd need and how they would work, then I start working on the actual code in godot with the pseudocode next to me, test it and fix bugs.I'm really interested in hearing how you guys do it, especially for the design side.
>>553355902This looks better than all the trooncord games combined, yep Ai won.
>>553355817>Thomas: Realtime lights are why my game runs so poorly>Also Thomas: No I will not bake my lightsHe just infuriates me. I can't stand him. Despite this I think TT looks pretty good and I wish him well.
>>553356295Start with pong
>>553355817brush is insecure that people see him as a charlatan, which he is. he wants to be accepted as a great dev, it's easy to see this
>>553356082I think this applies more to art than programming. AI can't program anything of value yet. Maybe it'll happen soon, idk, but currently it can only handle small chunks of updates, AND it needs someone to clearly explain all the rules to it, and it takes a programmer mind to do that. Customers, the government, when they request an app, they often have no idea how they want it to work, they just want it to work. I think most the news of employees being laid off as a result of AI, in the programming world, is fake. They are just firing white people and hiring Indians to save money in the short term. Nobody is firing white employees and replacing them with AI. Programmers know AI code is shit.
>>553356295start with pong is a tranny meme it's not a portfolio piece and you will learn nothing, the "pong" of 2026 is vampire survivors clone, if you're a hobbyist just start making the game you wanna make and google/grok when you get stuck that's 80% of what i do as a pro SWEdont listen to troons nigga, you're giving off NGMI vibes if you need that much handholding and structure, maybe try another hobby
>>553356295I don't prototype. There are 10 million games already made. Even if your game is unique it's likely that its features exist in pieces already.
>>553356295You create an internal API in your code base. Every new feature accesses data following that API. Once you finish Pong correctly, you don't think about how you add features anymore, you just do it.
>>553356471>AI can't program anything of value yet.it can actually i'm using it to dev a game right now, you just have to be very instructive and keep the goals tight per prompt, i have a prompt saved that details my game and then i just fill in what next step i want and most of the time it gets it right the first time, whereas a year or so ago it would be 1 in 10, try it bro use gemini 3
>>553356634The point of prototyping is to understand your data requirements and how your functions interact with it, so you can start with a solid framework when its time to move on from the prototype stage into alpha.
>>553356464Can you really call him a charlatan when he has released two successful games tho
>>553356684But listen to what you just said. You have to carefully craft piece by piece. That's what I said. You can't replace the programmer in this situation because it must be spoon fed logic slowly. Artists can't do it. And on top of that, any bug it creates needs to be fixed. And, you might not know it, but a lot of the code it makes works for now, but will break later. It often knows the fix to its own shitty code but it's not how it thinks. Like it knows to not have "Listen for keypress.whatever" everywhere, but if you ask how to deal with key presses it'll tell you that. You have to know enough to be like, ok we can't just have code everywhere listening to key presses, let's make a better design for this. Then AI will be like ya I agree that code was stupid, here's a command pattern you can use.
>>553356828Idk what the fuck you're talking about. Maybe for an mmo or something you'd need to figure out data loads and how fast you can process millions of records being updated. But barring that I don't see what a prototype does.
>>553356295Start by copying the systems of the game that most closely resembles yours. e.g. For an RPG shooter, start from a copy of the Destiny or Borderlands damage formula and incrementally modify it to fit your game.
>>553356082I have never heard a programmer bitch about AI except when they have to clean up after their coworkers who use it.
>>553356943NTA, Charlatan might be a strong word. But it's not far off. He massively over sells his abilities and qualifications. He didn't even know what a Unity profiler was and was clueless how to debug bad performance. He was begging other devs there to talk about their own game, how to debug his game. But in fairness he is a successful professional thus far.
>>553357172You need to figure out how data and code interact in PONG first before you can understand how data and code interact in an MMO, that's why.
>AI, give me code>fail>AI, give me shipable code>success
>>553357529Well, I guess some people are hacks and need to go very slow. No intuition devving must suck.
>>553351739Conspiracy theory time: this diddyblud is paid by concernedape LLC to constantly post about his nepobaby idol.
>>553356295play it in my head, if I like it, I make the most minimum version possible.
>>553357667>A 16yo gabe newell>looks like today but thinnerWtf are those genetics
>>553356943>>553357439I remember him saying that he had a programmer build out the FPS character controller for Twisted Tower (then Father) and it has always made me question his programming ability. He also said something like>I don't know why but the game needs an elevator for the player to spawnOn one of his livestreams.Like, you don't know how your game works internally?If I had the money I would buy his course just to confirm my suspicion that he's a hackfraud.
>>553357664Well considering I was responding to someone who was complaining about spaghetti code in their PONG game, sounds like they needed the advice.
>>553357920The clip itself is 16 years old.But gabe having a full beard at 16? I believe it
>>553357572>>553357019ok but it's quicker than a real dev, and don't fucking tell me you can even one shot difficult programming tasks, fucking lying retards, if i put AI up against myself it ruins me, yes im an amatuer, yes i have almost entirely stopped programming myself and just use AI now
>>553358010I forget how code works in my own game. But I'd never say "I don't know why I need an elevator." It would be more like, I forget why elevator and player creation logic is coupled, but it is." So "I forgot" instead of, I don't know. So ya that sounds sus.
>>553357348>>553357572AI = Actual Indians. The results are the exact same. Neither vibecoders nor Indians care about if the code works. They just care if they can present their deliverable as "shipable" or not as get a pass from their incompetent management (probably also Indian).Coming here to brag about using AI to code has the exact same energy as Cris coming here to brag about being 100% satisfied with his new art style.
>>553358284It's okay to admit that you don't know how to program.
it ended up taking over a month and a half to develop a small hobby side project i expected to finish in a week
>>553358394why are you talking about desk jobs fucking idiots AI for gamedev WORKS RIGHT NOW>>553358394fuck you, you don't know how to program or else you would already know AI is great for it, kill yourself
>>553358010i say this time and time again, he's a great presenter and marketer and has a daddy personality that makes people pay money. He also has good insights when judging subscribers' games. idk how christians work, but since he grew up very christian maybe he needs to go back to church more, it would help him to be humble and accept who he is. that being said he's 100x more successful than me so he's not doing too bad at all.
>>553358430You finished it though. Good Job!
>>553357572>AI, give me a function that takes in variable (X,Y) and outputs variable (Z) with a range of values from (A, B)That's how you use AI. You're basically a senior dev with a bunch of junior devs underneath you and just like in a company you would assign them specific tasks with clear constraints. AI isn't a replacement for someone overseeing the project. It's a replacement for the cogs.
>>553358548>AI for gamedev WORKS RIGHT NOWYeah, it works even better when you know how to program and it doesn't have to waste context thinking about what to do.
>>553358683obviously, that's what i already said
>>553358382>AI can't code>yes it can>don't come here and brag!
>>553358739It's okay to admit you don't know how to program.
>>553358739It's okay to admit that you don't know how to program.
>>553358284I don't even get what you're bitching about. You sound insecure about using it. It's fine you use it, I use it too. But it's clearly not intelligent and needs someone there to think rationally about info it spits out.>>553358240Well then respond to him. Anyway, I don't prototype. But after reading his full post, I don't think he's really even asking about a prototype. More like, how to plan new features. I generally write down all the features I need. I then ask Chatgpt to make a step by step list on how to implement the code, and to think of anything I might have left out, features etc. But really the answer is, just program more. Stuff you think about as a new dev become second nature eventually.
>>553358550chill
>>553358867>I don't even get what you're bitching about. You sound insecure about using it. It's fine you use it, I use it too. But it's clearly not intelligent and needs someone there to think rationally about info it spits out.i already said this, my god this thread actually is all nodev crabs>>553358771>>553358864
>>553358670yeah. I've been using AI for a while, and it's basically babysitting juniors. I'm helping AI do a task by giving it careful instructions since I know it will shit the bed otherwise.
>>553358326The proper response is>The elevator is the player's spawn point.You don't need more detail than that. It's just weird to say that you don't know why.
>>553358548I don't think you're in a position to say if it works or not. It's like saying "I'm making images in Grok, it replaces artists now! It's working! I just made anime boobies today!" Like ok bro, calm down.
i know project hopping is a meme but switching between a couple projects for a few weeks/months at a time helps me come back to each old project with new enthusiasm and appreciation for itnot sure how productive this is but my work quality has increasedi will now always be juggling three games at a time
>>553358867No, the answer is planning out your data structure and code so that implementing each new feature follows the same routine. I have a feature_implementation.md that tells the AI exactly what the data structure and function implementations are and how to implement new features into my codebase.
>>553359038you're retarded
>>553359092this is pretty much the same system i use but it's all just thrown into a text document i keep near each project, it's so obvious these seething retards are nodevs

Is anybody here familiar with making cutscenes in Unity? Let me know. Thank you.
>>553359116Not at all. I said AI is useful, but will write insane code and needs a higher level dev to prevent it from writing insane code. Everyone here is in agreement that is correct. "NO BRO I WROTE A METHOD WITH IT!" You're so far beneath us we might as well be speaking a different language.
>>553359394lol backpeddling to agree with me and then pretend i'm the retard, fucking nigger
My game has zero AI code. AI code is for codelets.
>>553359283I don't use Unity but I've heard through osmosis that Cinemachine is free and good.And I've also heard that making your cutscenes in external programs and just playing them back in video is also good and removes a lot of headaches.
>>553359274anya SEXO
>>553359498My game has zero.My game also has one.
>>553359092Get a load of this guy lmfao. muh Data Structure. You think of the game, the setting, the story, the mechanics in your mind, or from seeing other games with similar features you want. Implementing code is an afterthought. Especially if you know how to program. You just assume the programming is a solved problem, because it is.But again, he wasn't really asking for a prototype, he was talking about planning out the code, which again, the answer to that is basically just write code and get good. When you have to delete and rewrite code make a note in your brain, oh, don't do that again.
>>553359529I see. Thanks. I'll look into that. My game's almost done, and I need to begin working on cutscenes. I've never touched this stuff before, so I'm diving in completely fresh. Wish me luck lol
Which millionaire fake solodev had it the easiest, Toby Fox:>already had a team of 20 niggas to work on the game including talented artists>stole the existing fanbase of a web comic that was popular with quirk chunguses in 2010 or whatever>was the first LGTB tagged game on steam and consoles which means that it was on the frontpage for YEARS which is the equivalent of millions worth in marketingEric Barone>son of old school Boeing engineer>got mysteriously picked up by Microsoft despite looking like a RPGMaker game (this was a big stigma back then btw)>hired a lot of people to fix the game and paid them peanuts, a lot of them left his studio including one GIGACHAD making his own farming game>the most shilled indie game in existence by capita, including being shilled by (((Hollywood))>has more articles written about him by journos than entire indie genresSo?

>>553359283I just wrote a cutscene a couple weeks ago. There's probably free ones, but I figured fuck it, I'll just write my own and then it'll be easy to add features to.

There was this game called Shock Force I played growing up, it was later renamed Wulfram 2. The game has been abandonware for over a decade at this point. I know of a couple efforts to recreate it, specifically one called Wulfram 3, but it never got out of closed beta.I'm going to see how far along I can get (using AI).I probably won't accomplish what I hope to achieve, but I'll be learning more about development along the way (like I did with my last two attempts at developing a game).
>>553317658your post needs to be screencapped and made the OP image at least once a week
>>553360590looks shit
>>553337794oh i love implied blowjobs, great tag
>>553334971I will consider doing that once gamers start giving me what I want.
>>553360551I’m not sold on unit tests. Why guarantee I waste time writing massive amounts of tests when I could just write code that is easy to debug. Tests break as the game goes on and often are bugged themselves and return false positives and false negatives. But some programmers I respect use them so idk.
>>553360590Looks great.

mobile devs be like bro what if we made an RPG except after an hour your progress grinds to a halt and if you want it to speed up you need to spend $20 a weekand you get a free reward for logging in daily and multiple daily weekly and monthly missions to keep you addicted so you never stop spendingand then we add straight up gambling to speed up progress even moreand then we spend millions of dollars on advertisements and hope we capture enough big spenders to make profit andwhoopswe make one billion dollars a year now haha

>>553361108This >>553361586. I don't like writing them, and I usually don't, it's obvious if the Player Characters sword goes flying off i.e., but as it is currently, if anything in my BSP Converter, or any core Engine Feature isn't working, it either isn't visible until very late in Development, when a certain case is met, and then it crashes without reference what went wrong, or it crashes right now with no Info where the Bug might be. I don't eliminate all Bugs obviously, I test way to lazily for that, but I am catching a majority of Bugs, ensuring that a larger Part of the Codebase does not have to be searched when a difficult Bug occurs unavoidably(?).>>553361401No, I just need to write 3 more small cases, then it's done, and I can assume that the BSP Creation works. And I can move on to cleanup and writing the exporter.
>>553361586retard

I learned programming without how to use a debugger. I learned a lot faster once I learned how to use the debugger.

The federal government contacts you. They found your games and recognized your talent for creativity. They give you $10,000,000 to hire artists, animators, and story writers to create an 8 episode season of an animated show that will be shown to any demographic of your choosing. A government-funded marketing team will handle promotion. The intention of this operation is to increase the general morale and productivity of the demographic you choose.What demographic do you choose?What do you spend the money on?What is the story of your show?

If you are making a Godot game you are essentially creating an open source game. Your game can be decompiled to the project file in less than 5 minutes. Enjoy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1lXYe4GWvQ

>>553372492did this have any consequences in the real world? leaving aside the fact that any software can be decompiled and that the reasons games aren't being stolen so much that it's a big problem isn't the inability to decompile them.
>had amazing 3 weeks of work on my game>post resutls online>everybody liked it and waiting to see more>(all this time i wasn't working - i was making my game)>one post became super popular and more people arrived and excited>(i won't make any money this month because i spent it on my game...)I had to stop the development of my game and continue with the stuff that pays money... I'm already in debt so i will have to work harder for 2 months to make up for those 3 weeks i didn't do anything but my game...Those 3 weeks were so amazing. i was so productive and happy. I was working in non stop in euphoria and felt like a super robot that can do anything.Now i'm depressed again because i need those stupid fucking money......i just want to make games.

>>553340061It amazes me how Cris can get stuff up and running stuff fast or at least it feels that way. Why am I so slow? What engines/frameworks have you used Cris?
why the fuck do people keep telling me to change things that are obviously temporary placeholders?
Progress:Found a few critical Issues on ID referencing in the BSP Builder, fixed now. UVs aren't handled yet, BSP needs Cleanup, PVS need to be generated, and the exporter needs to be done, then I can finally move on to importing. And updating the Renderer to render the BSP aswell.At least this Step is done, it was rather exhausting at the End. What have you been progressing on Today, AGDG?
>>553374960You have any idea how long Cris has spent developing his workflows? And you think you can just waltz in here and replicate that kind of output willy nilly? Don't kid yourself.

>>553376749risk of rain?
>>553376749nah. People know 4chan isn't all the same. This area is full of fags and trannies. A liberal fucking paradise in this thread.
Enough lollygagging. Time to make some proggy.

>>553377064I'm not searching for proof myself, I'm demanding you provide the proof. fact is, no aggydagger who made it has been labeled(outside the general) a sexist and racist because they posted here.

>>553372739>Does it decompile readable code and comments?Comments aren't preserved in 4.4 and up if you turn on binary tokenization. Code structure is probably easy to reverse. You'd need an addon like GDMaim if you want to obsfuscate your code,>>553373610GDScript is not compiled, it's fully interpreted with barely any modification. Up until 4.4 you could literally reverse the complete project folder in two clicks.
