Don't let bokube distract you from the beating betz still needs to receive.We're going to teach both of these boyos a lesson.
AI will kill anonymous imageboards and /agdg/ in it's current form just like it did for GitHub PRs now. Too many bad actors.
>>554238694>just like it did for GitHub PRsNeed a quick rundown what happened.
I made lots of good progress todayNo, you can't see it
>>554238670Boooo! Get better material!
just warning you guys not to make a Roblox game. there's a Roblox mafia that owns 95% of successful games and has paid Roblox Employees in their pocket that will ban your game for no reason if it gets successful. here's how it works... if you make a successful game like i did (5000 players) a member of this mafia will approach you trying to buy your game for like $100,000 real money. if you accept, they'll give you like 10% of your game's profit going forward (supposedly) but they will be the new dev team and you will go away. if you deny this offer, your game will be banned by Roblox. when Roblox deleted my game literally 1 day after the mafia offered me $100k and i denied it (because i was already on track to making $20K per month so i'd have that amount in like 5 months anyway if not more) not only did they ban me game they seized all my robux so I literally made nothing.
if bokube fails I feel like this will be the end of /agdg/
>>554238943damn some sort of pedophile cabal over there
>>554238865UHHUMM'dites are uhhmy... my sponse isuhhh*runs away farting and crying*
>>554238825A lot of big projects on GitHub stopped accepting outside contributions altogether because of jeets spamming ChatGPT submitted "fixes".
>>554239006that's ok because he will never release
>>554238943>pepe I believe this real story.
>>554239232lmao that's amazing. Considering they otherwise wouldn't know how to make anything applicable to a project because you have to know the basics at the least, but AI got them over that hurdle just enough to make a mess. Sounds about right.
>>554238396>>/v/3's Jam>https://itch.io/jam/v3jamlol tranny
why do I have 5 versions of unreal installed
>>554239006>>554239290He's ruining his game with AI as we speak. This means he will need to disclose AI on his steam page and steam demo. I think it's safe to say he has failed.
I wish... that I could turn back time
>>554239523The issue is mainly flooding maintainers time and having to read large diffs taking a cognitive toll which may end up being worthless. There may be nuggets of gold in submitted AI pull requests but digging through piles of shit just makes it not worth it. Some people even suggested making people pay to have to submit a PR. It's the same issue when you give away free things basically, if you charge a small fee a lot of freeloaders will just not bother.
>>554239686
Should I cash in on the loud house fanbase with a fangame?
i wasted the whole day again
>>554241018I wasted 5 years
>>554240729>the loud house fanbaseanon...
>>554241263cute!
>>554238396Once again I redrew a barrel sprite. I just can't stop.
>>554240667
>>554240729Sure why not
>>554241376
Added "look at" functionality. Now you can look at other entities in the same room.Parser is decently smart.
>>554238943When you signed up for Roblox, you agreed to the Terms of Use. Buried in those terms is a Mandatory Arbitration Clause. No hope.
>>554238943>>554242580So by "mafia" anon actually means the literal owners of the game who probably tell you upfront that you're making your game inside of their game and they have the rights to it.Crazy how many people jump into gamedev and even are successful at something without paying attention to these kind of things.
Does anyone know if there's any way to make Aseprite stop fucking assuming ID-0 is transparency? The palette I'm working in uses ID-255 as the transparent color but if you change the transparent color Aseprite shits itself and keeps trying to use ID-0 for the Text tool, Outline FX, and basically fucking everything else.
>>554243316There's two sides to every story but there are a lot of gamedev schizos out there and corporations are greedy so who knows.
I realized why I hate twitter. Marketing has become the norm, saturation point is reached. Everyone is trying to grift you there because they get paid for it with their blue checkmark. It's like LinkedIn for entrepreneurs.
>>554243751yepand you have these account that just go with "show me your indie game!" just to get indies post their trailers on the timeline and that way the account gets visibility. Are they doing anything with it? Nope, they don't even like your trailers, they just gather bunch of dumbasses around to inlate their visibility to the algorithm.
>>554243751>>554244082this is what socializing looks like now we aren't doing it IRL at the town square
my game will be successful enough to get official licensed lego sets
>>554244230>now we aren't doing it IRLYou're talking to autists who have never socialized IRL before.
>>554244505autism has nothing to do with it western civilization is just a bunch of parking lots and no wants to drive 45 minutes to sit around and talk
>>554243751It really is miserable. I still need to get back on that horse and try but I don't know. Reddit is statistically proven to be the best place to market right now. Don't go there though. You don't have my permission.
>>554244230you can socialize without forced positivity or grifting. marketing on twitter is a fool's errand if you don't have a blue checkmark and a lot of visibility from acting like an idiot
>>554244762are we talking about genuine posts and interaction with community or paid ads?
>>554244785>does nothing but post ads on a social media platform>refuse to pay for ads>the social media platform hides your unpaid adsWhy the fuck do you think you deserve free visibility?
>>554245108not what I said bucko
Finally did some more progress (sprites are zoomed in btw)https://files.catbox.moe/as3byz.PNG
>>554245295why aren't you posting pics on a pics forum?>checks linkoh, that's why
>>554244785a checkmark is like 7 bucks a month or some shit lmfao there's like a billion jeets with slop ready to shill you will have to sacrifice something to stand out
>>554245295Hat Kid!
>>554245108Think not what the richest man in the world can do for you but what you can do for the richest man in the world
>>554245409The checkmark does nothing lol it just slightly lessens the amount you are shadowbanned while shilling. And if you cancel your subscription enjoy having it recharged a million times until you have to call your bank to block them. It's unbelievable.
>>554245409Indians and a lot of the grinders do have the blue checkmark though, how else are they supposed to make money.
>>554245409I'll consider it once I get my LLC ready and get it into my business expenses deductible tax
i can't do it
>>554245540He didn't become the richest man by being a charity worker, dipshit.
>>554246001He became the richest man by begging for government handouts lel
I'm literally drunk right know AMA
>>554246184We call that socializing and making business connections, something that your autism prevents you from doing.
>>554245409>>554245764that's why I ignore blue checkmarks entirelytheir opinion don't mattertheir sole purpose is to bait you into engagementanything they say is calculated to get the biggest response, so they spew bullshit and wait or people to correct them or debate them, just so they have higher visibility and algorithm tickswhen I see a blue checkmark on my timeline I ignore it, they want to waste my time and to boost their reachOnly people without checkmarks are worth talking to and debating as their opinions are their own and aren't doing it for the sole purpose of gaining moneybasically Twitter is like 4chan to the power of two, but instead of (you)s you gain money with your visibility. Isn't that something,
>>554246412will bokube break even?
>>554244762didn't try tiktok. nor youtubeshorts?(essentially a different platform)
>>554245295>the lolidevs are multiplying
>>554246412what is the meaning of life?
>>554244762Reddit is the best for gamedevs because reddit is actually a pure meritocracy. Other social media platforms are not meritocracies. 4chan is one too but its filled with poor thirdies so its not worth advertising here.
>>554246590He's gotta sell a copy first lmao>>554246730Fuck if I know. Fuck bitches get money dev occasionally I guess
>>554246525Yes. Maybe that's why it bothers me so much it's even more retarded than bait on 4chan, it reeks of desperation those ragebaits.
>Post about game development on twitter>Get two followers and next to zero views on all my posts>Start shitposting about American politics>Sitting at a couple thousand followers now
>Post about [thing no one cares about] on twitter>Get two followers and next to zero views on all my posts>Start shitposting about [thing people care about]>Sitting at a couple thousand followers now
>>554247801you can also try combining gamedevving with gooning or political stuff
>>554247998Tons of people care about gaming and game development. The algorithm is just designed to make people angry.
true
>>554247801>Start shitposting about American politicspretty low hanging fruit desuwhat about antagonizing half of the potential fanbase due to retarded left-right shitflinging?
is it unethical to use an underage relative as reference for one of my characters?
>>554248442kanna...
>>554248323why would you want a liberal fanbase?
>>554248143People care about high budget games made by competent developers, not some school project from some low-skill retard.
>>554248442you forgot your bocchi sis
>>554248518couple posts above we had a guy arguing the best results in advertising come from reddit, a left-leaning site. I'm afraid that between right and left side, it's the left who buys new games and right is playing old games
>>554248538yes, that's why Guns nad Nuns is getting hundreds likes now and any 10 sec animation of a new enemy from Wasteland Bites is getting thousand likes
>>554248817that's because the guy who made that post is an out of touch 45 millienial troonoid who is suffering from type 2 diabetes and has no idea tiktok exists or how it works
>>554249048??? he just said it's hard to track total visits from tiktok, it's not saying he did or did not do the tiktok vids
i still love youfucking niggers
>>554249048also are you telling me that right is watching tiktok more than the left? I'm not buying that
>>554249043You're making neither of those. If you actually made a video game, it'd look like Kalina 3: King of Fighters edition, lil nodev.
>>554249419simpler times...
>>554249657so I proved you wrong and you're resorting to namecalling, huh? I guess I won the argument lol
>>554249902Congrats on winning yet another internet argument. Surely, that'll help you make a game.
>Google a picture of a house>Crop a section out to make a texture>Find out late it was actually an AI generated image>Now I have to disclose I used AI
>>554250270Of course
>>554249419It's interesting that in 2013 it seems like /agdg/ was more diverse/alive than it is now. I'm pretty sure if we had a recap script collecting progress these days, in 1 week there wouldn't be as wide a variety of games as in that pic.
Game design is the hardest part of game development.
>>554251014ok do it and then we will find out
>>554251197Then why is Boku so good at it?
>>554249419Before the dark times. Before Gabencunt ruined indie games by ending greenlight.
>>554251373
>>554251014pretty sure if we had a recap scraper ppl who post their games to demoday and the inner circle would be posting progress regularlypretty sure gorespammer would fill the progress recap with shit also
Trannies won btw
>>554251297>>554251701I could try writing the script but I don't think I could have my computer run it 24/7. Also we'd need a format that the script looks for, so if you guys wanna bring back progress recaps we should come up with a format.
>>554251797won the any% ded speedrun?
>>554249368facts aren't going to stop him from having a gen z culture war meltdown on social media.
>>554251797what are we up to like 60%?
I will do it. I will save /agdg/
>>554250409>Google a picture of a house>Crop a section out to make a textureWhen I was working in AAA, the publisher had lawyers check that we had rights to all the images we used.
Dude this shit sucks
No one makes recaps anymore because no one here is young, ignorant, and bright-eyed enough to look at the games posted in this thread and think that any more than a small handful of them will ever release and even fewer will ever see more than a few dozen players. Besides Marmoreal, did any other games from that list release?
Why don't we have based western animation style games? Why all this twee gay fag anime retard shit for weeb homos?
Pretty happy with these placeholders.:D
>>554251841don't you remember the format?nortubel still posts progress following the recap fromat methinks:: my-project-title ::dev:: anontools:: xdlink:: https://4chan.orgrepo:: only adn open sources his shitprogress:: +dead insidethere is a github with the thing if i remember correctly no need to write it from scratch

>>554161806Here is easter 4 (level 2) of the Bokube demo done in my shitty hand made jewunity art referencing AI chads fake unreal engine generated version. I had to use orangish fog and hand placed bloom objects to mimic that better unreal lighting sadly. Testing new heart icons UI
>>554252305because western animation looks like shit for toddlers
New dev here and finally getting into releasing games now.Is posting our itch.io page allowed or encouraged?I fully built my tech demo and want feedback.
>>554252305i am trying
>>554253371Post game, but be aware that feedback will only be provided if you offer an HTML5 build.
>>554253192you know you're a fucking joke when you're using the term "AI chads" when it was one of those "chads" who tried to doxx you some months ago
>>554253247RETVRN
>>554253371>Is posting our itch.io page allowed or encouraged?Yes. Also every two months we hold an itch.io jam where we share the current build of our projects. Here's the next one, you can find the previous one in the OP.https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-67
>>554253008>this is some anon trying to make one for /wdg/ could be useful as a starting pointThanks. I'll post again if I manage to make something.
>>554253419
>>554249419>not a single one of these games came close to making it
>>554253562Oh no I know exactly who doxed me since the inner circle gave him up as a sacrifice and I'm prepping a lawyer for a lawsuit. its not AIchad thats for sure.
>>554242580i have no idea what anyone on any side of this is talking about really but i do know clicking [x] I Agree to these Terms (link to legalese tome) means absolutely jackshit in the eyes of the law. time and again courts say those are not considered legally binding contracts, they know full well people who "agree" to them never read them and nothing in them is legally valid outside of what is a considered a reasonable expectation.

>>554254650>The VA-11 Hall-A alpha was made in Ren'PyHoly fucking based
>>554254545Are you gonna post one cute piece of art as progress and then nothing again for months?
when did you guys start worrying about your art in your game? is it a late thing to worry about or something you should tackle early?
>>554255042For it not sucking? Late.To have an aesthetic identity? As early as possible.
>>554253945based and kill him (legally) pilled.
>>554254650RRPS sold basically nothing anywhere, SIT did well on Steam for the same reason it did well on on itch and googleplay... massive lets players gave it millions of views. let's players are the number one reason any games sell, stores arent marketing.speaking of, i regret not going back to RRPS to do another push for it during covid.
>>554255042If you don't know exactly how you're going to make your art, then you need to learn, prototype, and proof of concept your art. (i.e. Make a "beautiful corner".) If you already have a solid plan and workflow, you can work on the bulk of it last.https://gameworldobserver.com/2023/11/22/game-production-stages-prototype-alpha-beta-ship-tim-cain
https://monochromegem.itch.io/magic-affinityHere's my prototype I finished a few months ago. Graphics are mainly placeholders.Rouge-like top down shooter with 10 different elements each with a unique attack pattern and upgrade tree.
>>554255343>any games sellSome of us aren't making gay little single player point and click games. We make games where a new potential player is just one click away from hitting "Join" on a friend's Discord rich presence badge and having it pop up the Steam checkout page with the game in their cart.
>>554254938arisu...
>>554255958king shit
>>554253192the heart icons are too busy. you have outer layer thick black outline>pink fill, another black outline>whiteoutline>blackoutline>heart. I'd just do one sinlge black outline(around the red heart shape) like this one >>554151876.big improvement in the lighting and water, well done.

>>554243316>>554243445nah you misunderstood the story, a cabal of jeets is paying rogue roblox staff members to delete your game if you dont sell it to their jeet cabal. btw this has happened to so many roblox devs, and after they get your game deleted they "somehow" get your source code too (the rogue roblox staff member they paid gives it to them) then they either sell it on their jeet discords or make an exact clone of your game and get all the money while you're banned
