>>554907341
All I need to do is finish off several core assets, then I'm ready to make a trailer. Except I might need a track specifically for that too.Then I can make my steam page live.Then I need to get things ready for a playtest on steam, before the next fest deadline at the end of april.Maybe launching in july if things go well? I still don't understand how I deluded myself last year into thinking I would have this done by last november.

Short-term daily reminder>>554908198uuuh maybe because your a tranny freak with a very real interest in shitting up the thread so your discord can siphon of all the people here, you fucking nonce betz, freak
>he removes things he doesn't like
>>554908425actually it was only recently added to the OP, go back like 7 or 8 threads and the entirely of the catalog before that, betz.
>an eroge game where pornographic content is displayed when you bump into enemies

>>554908198not personal i have a vibecoded tampermonkey script that autocopypaste the op, i dont even read the op and doubt anyone does
>>554908728sure sure let me guess, you gonna start spamming ecelebs and seething about joshua/fygoon/pedro/insert boogeyman here in 3....2.....1.....
>>554907819Millions dollar idea: UE assetflips where you hunt and kill pedos.
fygoon? raped

The OP can only have what I SAY it has! Nevermind I don't have a game. Nevermind I'm literally in a psych ward right now. Nevermind that I spam an image of my own shit in my mouth. YOU HAVE TO ADHERE TO MY RULES!
>>554908737you made the transexuals slightly upset, why would you commit such a heinous crime?
give gamers what they want
Ok, chuds how do I emulate the SIMS gameplay with something that looks like a bitcoin chart?
>>554909271you lost, vile creature
Yeah, I'm cunt.GABENcunt.

sigh....so true 3D xisters...
>>554909560>SIMS gameplay>looks like a bitcoin chart
>>554909967I like that he doesn't mention texturing, modeling, animation, skinning, rigging.Because that's shit he either outsources or buys assets for.
the name of my game's protagonist is gonna be joshua in honor of you know who (cannot say his name since betz is metling rn)
>>554909374i cant claim any of this shit wtf
>>554883875Kek the fruit looks like it smiling at me.>>554886891Kek! You don't have anything to soak up the pee quickly or even pulling off the sheet?>>554887124Is this an actual game or just 3D models in a scene moved around and recorded? Looks a little too well done which makes me think its a recording of manually moved parts.>>554887197>that much time workingAnon this is a gamedev business, not a restaurant. Though they could pour in 12 hour days but I doubt it'll help at all. How many times have you worked on your game for 12 hours in a single day? Do you even reach half that time frequently? Also like the other anon said they need an artist, despite their programming skill they'd have benefitted from having an artist. You can do without but they don't seem to be able to leverage that well.
>>554910416huh thats weird, try on another browser just from the limited-free page by clicking on the cart icon instead?

>>554908912Called it.
Okay chuds, I think I was able to map the drama of a story inside a japanese candlestick pattern.lol.
The funniest thing is, the smart move to kneecap the meme expo is to actually leave it on the OP where no one looks. Because then you don't have your nemesis posting in every thread later down the line about it with his image which automatically draws the eyes to it. If the schizo could look past his immediate plight, he'd understand what I'm saying but I just expect finger pointing and claiming in a namefag but anyone who's spent more than 5 minutes here will get it.
>>554912334what does that mean cris?
>>554909374Tim give us music, sfx, UI stuff, 2D assets reeeeeeeeee. On that note does he ever give assets like those, most of the stuff seems to just be 3D models of stuff but not enough cohesion for an actual big or medium sized game. Like it's all for small games or "big games" that are entirely locked into a small area.>>554911876You know I'd be pretty happy if I had a woman like this. Sure I'm a failure of a gamedev but this would be nice at least.
>>554912596no, i think its funnier to make you work for ithaving to reply within minutes of new threads is hilarious to watch
If you could have any one of the following make stuff for your game for free for a whole 3 months who would you pick?>programmer>artist>music/sfx guy
And my point is proven.
>>554912980a marketing shill
>>554912334I unironically get it. If you can translate game achievement/story to the dopamine hit of seeing a huge green candle after a crabbing or a flag... Bro...!!!
>>554912980An artist, attractive and submissive female prefarably hehe, I'm gonna make her work so hard for the next 3 months to make sure all art assets are done. I vill make it.
>>554910518>How many times have you worked on your game for 12 hours in a single day?For my game at best I do 10 hours in a good day, because I don't churn out a game every 2-3 months like they do, so I pace myself, yeah.But I co-founded a package tracking app for a business in my country and I put in 12-14 hours a day at least one a day a week, for the first 2-3 months. (And 10 hours every other day.) The result is that I can now live off dividends from my company for the next 10 years without getting any job.It was terribly stressful yeah but I still look fondly on it, in a way it was kinda fun debugging shit late into the night with my coworker, that feeling of satisfaction when you fix the build machine before midnight hits like nothing else. I only wish I could get this feeling with a game dev team but none of my programmer friends really care about game development, they find it too high risk and unprofitable.
Good advice. Taking notes
>>554912980I'm an artist, so I pick artist. Imagine having 2 artists! The other stuff AI and the natural world offer enough of for free.
>>554913485Protip: Don't take 4 years to make a linear story based shooter with graphics from 2007
>>554913485Left looks scarier
>>554912752It's a candlestick chart.X axis is time.Y axis is happyness score.The green cells are characters who won the fight.The center doji is the location of the scene.The red cells are characters who lost that confrontation.If there are more losses, character become unhappier.If there are more wins, character becomes happier.
>>554913649>4 yearsIt's probably closer to 6 years at this point.
>>554913853I'm kind of giving him some leeway because the game got rebooted around 2022 and he doesn't consider Father to be the same game.
>>554913686Get AI to code you an idle clicker type game using this now. You can even give AI sketches of your game and it will try to incorporate the layout.
Remember this guy?https://youtu.be/BZSdOL6AOPc
>>554913485Idk about this, Ive played a few big games with fog design like left and it just works.
>>554914064I should give my 7 year project leeway like this. It's a 4 year one now because I pivoted pretty hard.
>>554912596nah fuck that, look around, see what being the benign observer brings you
>>554913485Imagine left with saturated blood fog
>>554914325I'm basically doing the same.My current project started out as a multiplayer roguelike horror game.And about half a year ago I dropped all the multiplayer and roguelike elements.So when anyone asks I'm telling them it's only been about half a year of development even though the date on the project says about 1.5 years.
>>554914064>the game got rebooted around 2022What happened here?
>>554912980music sfx guy
>>554912761>You know I'd be pretty happy if I had a woman like this. Sure I'm a failure of a gamedev but this would be nice at least.I've noticed this is what it comes down to in the end, successful gamedevs either have really supportive parents or a wife that picks them up when they're down
i cant dev im tired of watching episode 2 i have to lay down for a bit
>>554914559It originally had a PSX aesthetic and was about a guy trying to save his daughter from a cult. Very Dusk/Cultic inspired.At some point someone got it into his head that he needs some kind of unique hook for his game so he dropped Father in favour of a hotel setting that would change around at random with some roguelike elements.He dropped that idea within a few months because he legit had no idea how to program something like that and it became a BioShock-like shooter.
>>554915026I think Father looks better than Twisted Tower honestly. He fucked up by not just finishing this.
It's talking to itself again. How sad.
>>554915026I see, any vids of this previous version of the game?>>554915223Woah this looks good.
>>554914208tldw he helped a team (with funding)make a game, which came out last November >Ages of kataria>Mixed(16 reviews)

>>554915223looks cool
Pong but you control the ball.
>>554915223If only I was this good at 3D
Notice how happy the schizo is when he is discussing his ecelebs in the amateur gamedev general, the only moment where it doesn't chimpout.
>>554915317>I see, any vids of this previous version of the game?He live streamed most of the game's development. They're unlisted but you can find them via playlists.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU4vuNA_I5A&list=PLevEUceJDgApJmkEsgIvghFgOBrSujHzP

>>554915223>Pivoted to zany carnival horrorChoo choo Charles came out in 2022. Coincidence?
>>554915909Probably not. After Charles came out he became obsessed with this idea of evil Teletubbies and some form of those have made it into the final game.
>>554915896I was trying to be nice to avoid a meltie but yeah, it's fascinating to watch.
Obey The Fist has a pointOur games are crap and shouldn't be in the same marketplace as Baldur's Gate 3 and GTA.
>>554915223I think he fucked up by making a 3d game. He probably thinks so too given the tweet itt.
>>554915607Is that why he latched onto v3guy? Does he consider him an eceleb? That would explain it...
>>554916160>it's fascinating to watchI don't know. To me it's just sad. Coming to a dying general on a dying website to spend hours talking to itself about random youtube slop all day every day.
>>554915353>Set in a new fantastical world, Ages of Cataria is a cozy-friendly town sim. Watch as your village evolves from humble beginnings, with just one family, to a community of multiple families living together across generations of time.>WatchWell there is the problem, it is not actually a game. Looking at it, it is a screensaver with the occasional crusader kings event but the events dont do anything.
Gotta make an NPC based on these funny little guys
>>554916165anything not made with a proprietary engine and in-house tools from the ground up should
>>554908087Sounds like a plan. Are you working on the core assets today? For trailer advice, Derek lieu is the best.
>>554916165AAA games shouldn't be on steam. They don't even need steam, like Minecraft and hytale. Just get off our turf!

How many games have you shipped on the Steam?I have 2.
>>554920295How much did you make?
>>554920471I'm not telling you until you tell me how many games you have shipped on Steam.
>>554919143That's not the right way to think about it. You're not an assembly line worker. You can't always be "on" as a creative. You don't need to work more. You need to work smarter and scope smaller.
>>554920295none on steam. 1 on kongregate.
Can we address the elephant in the room (>>554907521 this cristobal post)?
>>554920954*oh god what happened to kongregate! it looks like a 100% different site now
>>554920721>scope smallerI already have scoped it down. The problem is what I thought was actually a tiny game is actually more like a medium sized one.
Post some games and progressI'm out of ideas and my AI subscription ends soon
>>5549205790. I have a game with 500 wishlists that I'm working on. I hope I can finish it by summer, though I'll probably release it in autumn to not overlap with summer sale.So? How well did your games sell and how many wishlists did you have on launch? I want to mentally prepare myself.
>>554921136And, what did you do with this information? Did you correct course or continue to pile onto the sunk cost?
Model quota limit exceededYou have reached the quota limit for Claude Opus 4.5 (Thinking). You can resume using this model at 1/27/2026, 6:05:55 AM. You can upgrade to the Google AI Ultra plan to receive the highest rate limits*sigh* back to coding by hand for 4 days...
>>554921282>I have a game with 500 wishlists that I'm working on.Highly likely your game is gonna flop unless a literal miracle happens. Doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, just that it won't be shown to anyone. It's also common that gabencunt deliberately throttles games with low wishlist counts.That's all I'm gonna say.

In your opinion what's the best released game in the genre of the game you're making?What's the most popular, highest profile game in that genre?How do you think your game stacks up to them?
>>554921763I figure as much, but you still didn't answer how many wishlists you had before shipping your games. Help a fella out, I wanna know what to expect.
If you disagree with my post you're free to post your own Steam experience. Anon posted his steam stats and asked me what will happen to him and I told him the most likely outcome, as painful as it might be to hear. I know of other developers who released games with less than 1000 wishlists that already released and I can confidently say their games are indeed throttled by the algorithm and not shown anywhere.
>>554922406My game cannot be defined by mere words and genres, it already exists in the akashic records in its most perfect form. I only have to synthesize its copy
Whatever Gabe lost he gained
>>554922406>nu-survival horror>Best releasedResident Evil 2 Remake>most popularLast of Us >how do you think your game stacks up to them?Way worse than both but it's a genre that even mediocre games do decently in.If I was to restart I probably would've made it fixed camera survival horror instead.
>>554922509I don't know what your game is, what it looks like, what genre it is etc.All these things can have an impact on your launch and subsequent performance just as much if not more than your wishlist count.I also don't know for how long have you been farming these wishlists, and if you have done any marketing at all (like actually show it to real people). My experiences are not going to be identical to yours, so my anecdotes may not be helpful or even detrimental to you, depending on your plans.
>>554922406I'm not really sure where I fit. Inscription has come up in tag comparisons but my game isn't much like it.
>>554922916all eyes on notch
>>554923002I just want some general statistics, I like data. It's impossible to find out how many wishlists a game had before release and how well it sold, other than asking other developers themselves. You don't even have to name the games, just WL count and sales first month.

>>554923759I don't like cricket I love it
>>554922651Your conclusion is correct, but the thought process you took to get there is ignorant, low-IQ, and injected with red goated cope. The cope you constantly lean on is that "any game that meets the goals it set out to accomplish is a good game", and then you make sure to explicitly exclude "sells well on Steam" to be one of those goals. You make sure to keep your goals as subjective and flexible at as possible to always be able to protect your ego from any potential damage resulting from failing to meet your goals.If a game's goals don't include "sells well on Steam", then stop crying when it doesn't sell well on Steam. If a game's goals do include "sells well on Steam", and it doesn't, then it's a failure and a bad game, and you need to accept this fact. Stop putting games that weren't meant to sell on Steam onto Steam and expecting them to magically sell.
>>554922916is this recent? why is he not ozempicd yet?
>>554923365/agdg/ has already mostly figured this out over the years. The general wishlist conversion rate varies between 5%-20% if i remember correctly, depending on the game's quality, wishlist quality (think loyal discord troons that suck you off all the time vs. random steamies that came across your game on Steam) etc. So you can glean how much your game will sell on its first day with this. It's why wishlist farming is one of the main targets and why you're usually told by everyone to aim for at least 10k wishlists before release, basically hoping that you'll get a conversion rate of 10% which leads to 1000 sales etc etc.Keep in mind that many steamies also don't necessarily use wishlists as "I will buy this game day 1", but as a tracker, "remind me every time the game is on sale below 75%".
>>554924268>no steam stats posted, just personal attacks and weird projectionSo you're a nodev retard. Got it.
>>554924331>the wishlist conversion rate is around 5-20%>I better make sure as many people as possible wishlist>the wishlist conversion rate seems to be getting lower for some reason despite artificially inflating it
>>554924508Your game has 16 minutes median playtime on Steam. My game jam garbage on itch has more, and I'm not so deluded to think those will sell on Steam.
my goal was sell well on steam but then steam changed during development... i can't pivot again
>>554924641I didn't tell you to farm wishlists anon. I just said that it's a common tactic among devs to create some sort of sales safety net. Whether you want to take that path or argue over its effectiveness is a whole different thing.
>>554923365https://howtomarketagame.com/benchmarks/Generally speaking, wishlist accumulation is not a good number to look at because not all wishlists are equal. Total wishlists only matter the week before your release date, at which point you want at least 7-10k in order to make it on to "Popular Upcoming". Passive wishlist velocity is a far more reliable metric to determine how GMI a game is.
>SOMEONE POSTED A THING ABOUT A PERSON WHO ISN'T ME
>>554925308
>>554924731>Your game has 16 minutes median playtime on Steam. Once again with the weird projection. I didn't post my game's stats so I have no idea where you got that number from.>My game jam garbage on itch has moreWhich you didn't post for some reason, even though you could to prove your point.
>>554925215While I appreciate the work this guy does, and generally agree with his conclusions, I think you can get a bit too lost in the sauce when it comes to numbers. Not ever game is a mathematical equation, and sometimes games buck the trend. Off the top of my head healed to death is a recent /agdg/ example, had horrible wishlists until it found the right audience for it's niche. Stuff like that is hard to quantify when the data is all a large aggregate.

>>554925869HOW DARE YOU
im getting to him, it works
>>554925802Because the one that was sold, sold less than 1000 copies because I didn't do the marketing properly. Wishlists also change over time, some people remove them, some add them, and my games both released a while ago. I don't remember what exact numbers I had at launch, I didn't keep track of that. You said you wanted launch day wishlists data, which I don't have. Only loose recollections.

>>554931189Also consider the fact that this is AVERAGE playtime, not median.It's the same shit as obsessing over GROSS revenue, when you should be at least looking at the NET revenue.

>success is luck>success might be innate>marketing works but you can't afford it>you might failyou can't affect any of these so isn't it best to assume if you make the best game ever you will succeed?
When you say "why did this game fail" you're operating on the assumption that every game should have succeeded by default. Why?

>>554932948What happens when the "what I'm capable of making" isn't enough to satisfy the market? Do you work to improve your skills or do you spend the rest of your life crying on /agdg/?
I was outlining a game idea, design and concept which normally takes me around 1-2 weeks but I did it with AI and it took me 1h30m
>>554932960When I tell AI about my problems it just tells me I need to see a professional.

>>554932886I never join any communities for any games.I don't subscribe to Youtubers.I don't like or dislike videos or posts.I don't review games.I think most people are like me given the numbers of views vs engagements
I think I have something that looks like trello.and I'm like wtf, this is great.:D

>>554933834Is the same idea of the chessboard.I just removed the board, and turned more into a trello app.
>>554919143Nta but you somehow progress more than me. I work on my almost every single day with the random 1 day where I slacked off too hard and simply either accepted the loss or did something so minor ot may as well not even count as a regular day of work on my game. However even woth that I have way more "on" days than you yet you somehow progress more. What is it? Do you spend 8 hours on the game the days you do work? Like for example you have 3 games how have you worked on them all, just design the whole underlying code and suddenly you just breeze on easy mode ass its only art and level design left? Reeeeee what do I lack, I work more days yet you achieve more with less days.
>>554933887every successful game is an outlier. there is no way to make it except being an outlier

dlsite lists how many copies a game sold, i don't know why steam doesn't do the same
>>554909548haha source?
>>5549202950. I have one listed but it's ngmi and will take a long time to finish. Last I saw it had less than 200 wishlists, so yeah big ngmi energy. I can cut the scope down heavily and release it just to get it out but even that isn't worth my time when it'll probably net me $1000 profit. I might remake the game in the future to avoid the mistakes I made but that is unlikely any time soon. It's definitely possible for it to be a 1000 review success but I just handled too many things poorly.
>>554934861>>554934942>>554935270>>554935485This schizo is samefagging ecelebs in here every single day, what kind of life is that? Do you ever stop? Like even Fygoon never was this obnoxious.
>>554908598Are you making fun of me, because that's literally what I'm doing Is this really such a common trope?
>>554934031I don't have three games, this is my first. Usually I spend a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the evening working on it (when I'm actually bothered, as you can see by the commits).But that could be a mix of things - some modelling in blender, textures in aseprite, sound. Also I have contracted out the more complex models plus the music.Even if I'm not actively devving, I check twitch or youtube for content creators that I might be able to send a key to on launch. So far I have about 500 across 3 languages.

>>554936864I understand the situation very well. You aren't a gamedev but like to siphon attention from those who are.
im glad AI is gonna replace eceleb gamedevs, the eric schizos of the future will worship AI devs
>>554935795
>>554928893So by your own standards you have a weak mind because your talk about Socrates, a literal who, who is only popular because rich people said so? Unlike Notch who got popular because the commoner liked his video game? Cool guess youre lower IQ than us by your own standard.
>>554936719Are you saying a GAME jam isn't related to a GAME development thread? Are you actually retarded?
As an ericchad can I just say I couldnt care less about most of these literally whos devs, especially the youtubers. My intuition tells me most arent aligned with the metaphysical good, quite the opposite actually.
>>554937231Okay? Why do you do this, you're crashing out every day for no reason.
i'll admit it: fygoon was right
I think it's pretty safe to say Eric has surpassed Notch at this point. His fangirl army would die for him.

I will not take game design advice from some YouTuber with 12k subscribers and a "Gamedev Journey" playlist just because a mentally ill guy keeps spamming their links in every thread. These e-celebs haven't shipped a real game since 2014 but they're out here telling me to "just network on xitter" and "build in public" like that's gonna fix my broken collision detection. Half of them are failed devs who pivoted to content creation because their indie platformer sold 12 copies. Now they're selling courses about "the indie mindset" to desperate troon losers like you while some obsessed freak keeps posting their videos like it's gospel. I'm done. No more "how I made $100k on Steam" videos from people whose only successful product is the video about how they made $100k on Steam.

>>554951531nice job anondate the ecelebs
https://godotengine.org/article/release-candidate-godot-4-5-2-rc-1/WTF is Adreno's problem? They keep fucking up everyone's shit everywhere I look.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_design>Product design is the process of creating new products for businesses to sell to their customers.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_design>Game design is the process of creating and shaping the mechanics, systems, rules, and gameplay of a game.I think /agdg/ has a bad habit of conflating these two ideas, because games are our products. We should do a better job of being explicit and not use "game design" to really mean "product design". I will also do my best to not make this mistake.
>>554953491most of us are older than the field itself, conceited of you to assume where it ends and where it begins
>>554953661>Charles Darrow's 1935 patent for Monopoly includes specific design elements developed during the prototype phase. Prototypes are common in the later stages of board game design, and "prototype circles" provide an opportunity for designers to play and critique each other's games.How are you still alive?
>>554915353>>554916602>Cataria>Its not like stardew valley>And there's no cute catgirlsHow do you fuck this up
>>554953864comparing prototype circles to modern game design is like comparing da vinci's airplane and ornithopter sketches with aerospace engineering
i hate you agdg, lets kiss about it.
>>554928413FYGOO TROOVKOOQ>>554929665tbf the choochoocharles dev has some good insight. It's clear he makes videos to help other devs rather than to sell a course.Cuffbust failed because he tried jumping to a completely different genre he has no experience in.
>>554951162This is an example of high marketing, but lame concept. Not many are willing to play a 2D puzzle platformer that's all about it's challenge and nothing more when they can play the current trendy game. Though if the characters were cute girls it might have gotten the gooners.
you have 48 hours to work some wonders
Where are the lolidevs at? How many does /agdg/ still have?
>>554954190How many Chess sets and Go boards still sell every year? How many decks of cards?
>>554954468
>>554954898I'm still here, but I'm not going to post my loli game because, well, I just won't.
>>554954972damn we're arguing game design is 4000 years old I see
>>554954468it's a shame this is AI
>>554955386
>>554955438That's because it is. Humans have been playing games for all of recorded history. It makes little difference if those games are played with regular rocks or magically enchanted rocks. The fundamentals are the same.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuvckBQ1bME
coward is back. posting in threads. he doesnt know but i know.shall I confront him? would /agdg/ back me up?
>>554956078You disingenuous faggot are you going to say computer engineering is also 2000 years old because there's a bronze clock thing? Do you honestly think there was a guy that people went to that made games? That he had a set of criteria and guidelines, that he was able to evaluate his process to make it DESIGN? Design is governed by intentionality, just because you paint colors on a canvas doesn't make you a designer no matter how skilled you are unless your desired end result is governed by external criteria.
>>554951162I think it sold pretty decently. I would be happy with it anyway.

>>554957646not here retard he ran away from here which is why hes a coward.
>>554956691People designed games before computers existed. Are sports not games? Are board games not games? Do you think governing bodies that designed, refined, and officiated the rules (systems) for those kind of games not exist back in the day? The Olympic GAMES have been around since 6th century BC.

>>554965594No, I just look at what's next on my design documents and todo checklists. If its too much cognitive load after a sprint, I take a break and come back.
>>554965702>still spending his time shilling AI to people for freeRETARD ALERT
>>554965697That's how you end up making a good game that no one wants to play.
>>554965878fuck you
>>554965879The solution is not to work on your game publicly, but still let people play and test it and give you feedback privately.
If you have to post your game to Demo Day for advice, you're already lost.
>>554958856Its the memory that's the problem. Nvidia stopped production of the 50 series FE cards and they had an agreement with their board partners to guarantee that they sell cards at MSRP which they just ended so now there's going to be no cards at MSRP. Even dogshit like the 5050 is shooting up in price right now.
>>554966323just buy ddr4
The AI companies are actually using the memory, you don't need 16GB of VRAM to watch youtube videos, jerk off to furry porn, and make Godot games nobody is going to play.
When are AI bagholders going to stop coming here? What does anything they ever mention have to do with gamedev. So desperate.
>>554966169Continue to tell yourself that that'll be enough if it helps you sleep better at night, but it won't save you from the eventual "why did it flop" post.

>>554964247>just play the lottery making trendchasing slop, yup this is good advice for the amateur gamedev general now open the steam release page and look at all the trendchasing flops that follow your religion KEKY to the POW
>>554966641It's an epidemic. That's why every board has an AI slop isolation general.
Most gamers didn't care about AI until AI companies started fucking with gaming. Now I see them bitching about AI as much as artists lol. AIfags should hate scam altman because he made AI toxic.

>>554967818Fuck all those limp dick modular meshes and chickenshit trim sheets.This is real game development.
>>554967929Zukjeet you are insane.
>>554967885
>>554950285Personally I think they're lying. Sorta like Hytale and then it releases to amazing interest. The dev acted as if the people wanting to play the game were viewing it through the same lenses as them. They overestimated what the people wanted or alternatively were just lying for attention considering how it released soon after, from what I remember, a claim of shutting it down and never releasing it because it was a financial failure kek.However unlike Hytale, Mina is definitely not the kinda game that needs 50+ people working on it so if their team. This is the kinda game where you just need>1 idea/gameplay chad (the director eg Kojima)>2 art chads>2 programmer chads>1 music chad>1 sfx chadI know you might ask>Why are they all chad's?You have money, why would you hire some lousy artist when you can get a great artist for a mere $20k extra. The problem is, their idea/gameplay guy has no idea what he's doing.
>add 1 new feature>too lazy to start on another
>>554968036Thanks. I don't mind those too.
>Refuse to use steam because I don't want to give fatfuck gabencunt money>Get blacklisted from the industry
>>554968294A feature a day keeps the depression away.
>>554951531If true congrats, no I didn't make fun of you. Is it at the same company as her and what did you get hired on as, a programmer?t. Seeker of the shortstack redhead
Has anyone ever noticed the orthographic swastika before? Can i claim this as an original discovery?
>>554968285Friendly reminder that Kojima is often credited as both producer and director. Product design is the producer's job while gameplay design is the director's job. He does both, and as a solodev, you also need to do both.
>>554966641sorry to interrupt your delusion but AI is only getting better and better every dayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQcSxEUyCu8
>>554968624I make games, I don't play games. Do you ask a whore how many times she's gotten her dick sucked?
>>554907819Why was it so easy until 2016? We need to go back
>>554969673It wasn't easy in 2016, the people who made it had years of failures and development experience.
>>5549696732016-2019 was dubbed as the "shovelware era" where any random garbage could make you the richest monkey in your favela. Nowadays, you actually have to make a good game that people want to play.
>>554969893>the richest monkey in your favela
>>554968820Agreed, that is exactly the sort of outlook a solo developer should have -- you really are thinking like a pioneer of the indie game space!! Taking on multiple roles as a solo dev isn't just recommended -- it's often times mandatory. What might be an inconvenience in a large studio is actually a big win for indies. They'll get a chance to see multiple parts of game development, giving them insights and skills that benefit other aspects of their game. Slowdowns and stress? More like cracking open the keys to knowledge and potential. That's what gives solo games their charm -- it's not their hyper refined gameplay, it's their rough around the edges approach that is bubbling with sincerity, grit, and understanding. The best way to reach other individuals is to be an individual, and that is what solo developers excel at where the big studios fall short.

I'm so tired guys. Something changed, apparently cloning games nowadays does not results in lawsuits. All this time I could just clone someone else's game add my own twist to it and have gamers toss money at me all while the company whose game I cloned just sits there fuming and not suing me.
>>554977557Oh my stuff! Its just like the game I played when I was a kid but its like being released today! Take all my monies mister magic man!
>>554978718
>>554978718I think so too, people used to seethe about cloning but now it's almost encouraged.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBz0BTb83H8
Some people say things about games. Are they still saying that?
>>554978985Anon it's not bait, nowadays you can just clone triple A without fear of a lawsuit. I've already seen 3 games outright copy Runescape features.
>>554978718There's no way to know how litigious people are (that means how likely they are to start legal battles), or companies, you can get swooped on by corpos for "stealing" their patented game design at any moment even if you never knew they existed and the cost of the legal battle can ruin you. This is why partially why people start Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) so that they won't have their life totally destroyed by random lawsuits.
>>554979391I see. So it's profound mental retardation.
>>554979357Yes everyday.>___ is dying / dead>numbers are actually going up
Why even make something original and see it flop? Look at all the artists who make OC's to a resounding crowd of 10 likes on twitter. Now look at them making their own rendition of some character from a triple A game or tv show, 10k likes. So why even make your own original game? Just copy some AAA game that is within your skill level, use your own artstyle of course, all while making sure it looks similar enough to said AAA game. Then release to a crowd ready to pay $29.99 for it. Or you know just go make something original, put it up for $4.99, and get 10 reviews (70% positive)I can get rich first, then I can go make my original ideas. If they flop, it doesn't matter since I won't have to get back in the wagecage.

Everything is continuing to grow year over year.The number of gamers in every market is growing and will continue to grow until 100% of the population is playing and buying games, and guess what happens then? More babies are born and the number continues to go up.Gaming is literally an invincible market. If the price goes up on hardware uniformly (as it is now) it won't stop the growth of the market, it would only slow it. It will never "die".
Build your resume, gain experience, learn, make your bones so you can call yourself a real dev. There are a million reasons.Selling a game 1 time actually changes something inside of you. To go from never having made a penny from your creations to having money in your bank account because you made a game is a transformative experience even if it's a flop.

Spent 12 hours on this, and I'm like It was fun to make this, but like what's the point?Nobody will play this, so who cares.
>Nobody will play this, so who cares.That's because you're a pedophile.
>>554980802the point is that you learned something about stupid ideas, and it only cost you 12 hours. some people go their whole lives without learning that lesson
If anyone thinks things are grim over here, you should browse the collab search channels on public gamedev discords and learn the true depths of the abyss.

When someone gives you their money for your game they are saying "here, take this thing that belongs to me, it's yours now" and they didn't have to do it, they don't need your game, they liked your game and want you to be rewarded for making it. If this were not true, they would not buy it. Therefore a karmic reaction occurs inside of you where you received something positive for making something. This experience is important. It's different from "making money" or any other kind of work you can do.

>>554980802Just needs a small tweak to be interesting. Turf wars are a market, and you’re the top broker. Track rival Sukeban gangs through high-stakes candlestick charts. Short their street cred, hedge against police crackdowns etc. is this something you could make?

When I was young I made a game for kids and a topic I knew was popular and there were no games for and I really needed some money. I wanted money. So I released a demo and then a full version for a very small price and I did it all in a couple months. I only made like $20 from it before a problem occurred and I had to relist it and make effectively a different game it's a long storybut I remember looked at the demographic data for downloads and realizing all over the world, dozens of little kids found my game and asked their parents to buy it (or just clicked buy who knows if they had any supervision). It changed me forever. It was a commercial flop and yet it's probably the peak of my life and everything good since then is because these kids bought my shitty game. They liked it.
>dozens>the peak of my life
They boughted it.

>>554983269I just quickly made some small rooms with easily recognizable different shapes to test if things are working, I want to make rooms with multiple exits for more branching levels and of different shapes and sizes, some large some small. I also need each room to have a handfull of different interior props for the generator to choose from so each room isn't always the same (different desks, pictures on the walls, lights etc.)
>>554984254I figured, good luck, level generation can be a pain. Cool looking models too, didn't realize you had so many ready to go.

Do I buy my wife a drawing tablet under the guise of helping her with her side business of making colorful keychain designs and then rope her into making game art instead?
>>554985079Buy her a drawing tablet, but it won't get you any closer to game art. She's never going to be able to handle the technical requirements, and neither will you.
>>554985079yes, but get her to help you make a cozy colorful-keychain design game https://store.steampowered.com/app/2303350/Sticky_Business/
>>554984849I observed a few threads that seemed to be mostly on-topic in regards to gamedev and not talking about """other things""" which make me feel uncomfortable and disgusted.I am sorry for my behavior.
>>554985265But she is a jap. Japs have magical video game powers. Id think it was a dumb idea if she wasnt.
>>554985395That just increases her odds of being able to produce decent art from 0.1% up to 1%. She's still a woman (right?)

I'll be honest. I hate the thread meme of "post progress". Movement without direction is not necessary progress. The vast majority of "progress" posts aren't actually progressing the poster towards their goals. Without constantly reevaluating where you're going and actively steering yourself towards fixed goals, you could very easily be simply spinning your wheels, going in circles, or even getting ready to drive off a cliff like Cris or Bokudev.

>>554981957For me it was having my friends over after school and we were going to play HOMM3 hotseat but we first played something called Gorillas that was like a tutorial or something for QBasic that my brothers and I had modified with bigger explosions. They were like >O you make games seriously??But I didn't make that one so I showed the silly mp games I had been making in The Games Factory (precursor to Clickteam Fusion), one of them was a vs Snake game with tank controls which made sure you could play it on the same keyboard without inputs seizing for either player and it was rare at the time that you had a snake game with 32 directions instead of 4. After about an 1h or so of playing competitive snake I asked if we should close it down and play HOMM3 instead and they said>Why? This game is awesomeand they started talking strategies with each other and which of the powerups were their favorite. Maybe they didn't believe I had made it or they forgot but I realized that they genuinely liked it and not just because it was my game even put up against the god of vidya at the time.
>>554986957Your base goals are "eat, sleep, mate, and die". I know that you haven't accomplished at least two out of those four yet. Pick one or the other, and go for it: right now.
>>554985386finished but needs some finishing touches
uh oh
i tried retardmaxxing and making a game without thinking and it ended up being an incremental third person shooter game
there is no value without labor
stock market says otherwise
>>554988232I don't believe you arrived at that game idea without thinking. I think it would take quite a lot of thinking to get there.

>>554985386how do you apply your textures onto the model? do you unwrap and then adjust/drag the UVs onto the picture?
Let's say that your game is a hit. How would you expand your studio? Freelancers? Employees in your country? Employees in a cheap country?
>>554991585blow it all on funko pops
>>554991296yes I just unwrap the model and put each face where I want it to be on the image, it's not the cleanest way of doing it but it works for me.
>>554991585there's no more room in my basement
>>554991952not sure what kind of method would be cleaner for psx style. have you tried stencil brush painting?
>>554991585I would profit share far more than is common in the industry but only hire like-minded high performance people to a max of around 15-20 people on the higher end. At that point it's better to just sell the studio to some gullible billionaire and start over
>>554991585One thing is for sure. I'm never hiring women. A friend hired some women for his marketing company, and they both got pregnant with 2 months of starting. They took 1.5 years off and he's legally not allowed to fire them. Fucking useless bitches.
>>554991585Hire my brother as a programmer so I can just focus on the graphics & gameplay, and we'd both go move to somewhere that's not freezing half the year (in Canada)

Serious post: how many of us are actually Brahmin and not just shitposting? I am looking to start a game studio with fellow /agdg/ hiqh IQ Brahmin Northern-Indian devs. Perhaps allowing in Aryan europeans (non-British) if we need more numbers. Please reply soon, thank you.
>>554993702why did you post that instead of posting progress? don't you have any?
>>554993925Yes, I do have progress. I already have some funding to prove this is a serious idea but I am just looking for numbers right now, contact details will follow if there is enough interest.I forgot to mention you must have a good understanding of Unreal Engine 5 and English that I will test during the interview stage.
What is this diddy blud doing on the Unity engine
>>554991952I fuckin love these guys.
>>554992168I get pictures from google images and just paste them onto a 1024x1024 picture in gimp then posterise and dither the image.It gives me outputs like this - I think they look pretty cool I am happy with them.this texture is from the toucan receptionist lady.>>554994140thanks mate
>>554994518make sure they're royalty free
>>554994695and before:2020 so not AI.
>>554994695Most of them are only segments of images cut out with the windows snipping tool and as >>554994695 says I get chatgpt to generate me images to use sometimes too for example this is an image of a wren that I am going to use for the head of my next character -
>>554995115Would strongly recommend you change proportions and lines, and only using the values (posterizing) the image then feed the input back into chatgpt. As seen in >>554994889 they're focusing on symbols having the exact same geometric features.
>>554995347I only use it to generate images of animals faces with a perfect profile and front on image for the creation of textures for their heads everything else is usually just "purple fabric" or "green leather" etc etc in google or yandex images.
Warning: blogpostYesterday I finally started adding enemies to my game, but instead of wasting days fighting years old code from my previous game, I decided to do a clean rewrite. At first this seemed like a great decision because progress was quick and the code looked so neat and clean and efficient, but I soon started running into issues I vaguely remember wrestling with when I was making my previous game. So overall it was a good decision to do a clean slate rewrite, but like with everything that isn't a no-brainer, there are some significant trade-offs.What's worrying is when I used to do code rewrites years ago I was often shaking my head at how shoddy my coding was. This time, there was little of that and a few instances of my past self being smarter than my present self.I guess my brain is dying. Don't ever grow old.
>>554996035All I'm saying is these types of things attract schizos like you wouldn't believe and saying "Chat-GPT made it" isn't enough. People are gonna zoom in on the reflection in the eyes and try to find a match in already existing images or the way the feathers sit and their coloring. People get fucking rabid about AI and I'm not sure why.
>>554995115I zoomed in on the eye and found the bus stop this was taken next to, I'm thinking I could stake it out and capture this wren(for research)

>>554998458nice, me too
>>554992534Kek this. Not a chance I am hiring a woman. Closest way I would do that is if she is contracted. The least available rights for her to screw me over with. But hiring her and making her an employee of my game development studio? Not a chance. I am not about to get sued becuase she felt "opressed" when I demanded she make the female characters have bigger boobs. Or have her run off and have a news article written to report that I refuse to allow her to make DEI characters additions to my game. It's my game, my studio. I am not letting my vision get trampled on by some woman getting offended. And believe you me do they get easily offended. Just look at Skull Girls for an example.

>>555000120I'm not shit posting when I bitch about the algorithm. It really is fucking dogshit that pushes irrelevant crap on you and I can't believe anyone defends it. Its objectively worse than it was before. I found a lot of hidden gems in the past, no longer. Even from a gamers perspective its bad but from a developer's perspective its disastrous.
>>554999701I worked with a bunch of women in several companies and they were all very nice and didn't make any problems. In fact it was men who were troublemakers, from stealing company property to starting fights even though it was marketing and media agencies.Maybe those companies were lucky, but maybe you're being psyoped and fed outliers to make you think women are worse employees.The reason I wouldn't hire women is the same reason I wouldn't hire men. I can do mostly everything myself, and for things I can't do myself I've had good experiences with contractors.
