You call that progress?
>>555209651Can you not imagine an adult character with a big head? Even in a setting and art style where most characters have big heads?
oh you motherfuckers, listen: steam revenue calculator says trainwiz made 43 fucking grand net from 366 reviews at $19.99. HE is fucking saying that he has fucking netted 300 fucking grand. now use your retarded brain and wonder for yourself for a moment, how in the FUCK, could he possibly net 300 fucking grand off of a review estimation of 43 fucking grand? riddle me that one, retards. we're talking 7 fucking times difference
>>555213670Stop spamming. Why does it matter if he's lying about how much he made. It doesn't matter.
I posted my AI slop in the AI hate thread and they didn't know if it was slop or not
>>555213670ask him in the /v/ thread. he was there yesterday.
>>555213670Okay, I made some tweaks to both models before going to bed. How's this?
>>555214005link the thread and I'll sniff it out
>>555204278Elf chan dev, don't adjust character head sizes, they look good as is.
>>555214005You can trick people with ai, but if you use it in you're game and don't disclose it, then you have to keep up the lie forever.Not only for your reputation, but also because if you're caught, then Steam users can then refund off of false advertising.
>>555214395Shit, meant for >>555213654>>555214495Uhhh...
>>555214395>>555214525Yay that's perfect! Very nice!
>>555214005Most people are over confident in their ability to detect AI. If AI images were always easily detectable there'd be no need for the AI disclosure.
What a terrible day Sunday was. The day just sucked a lot. Oh and I also wasted a lot of time trying draw a single asset piece which isn't even done.
>>555214431fucked the cross-thread>>>/v/731606478
>>555214525I think you were getting lied to by the one anon complaining about headsizes. Don't get screwed like Boku did with changing his art like a year ago where someone complained about the colors.
>>555213670>My game has to sell millions just to get a decent profitGod, please help me.
>>555214615I'm was confident because I genned AI slop for the past 3 years and knew the patterns from each AI. but nano banana pro 2 changed things. confidence dropped a lot.
>>555214749This. Don't let a bunch of nodevs, or worse, flopdevs backseat your game.
Tell us how much of your game is already planned>Setting plot characters characterization100%>dialogue10%>combat85%>Level designi have 2 ideas but still haven't decided on which one>Art and music0% i don't know what the fuck i'm doing will use as much of the assets i own as possible
>>555214749>>555214915It's okay, the head proportions were bugging me a bit too. I just made some small changes to the models, no biggie.Time to go to bed.
>>555214628>>>/v/731612278talking about this? obvious AI. just look at the thumb melting into the staff. but it's good. artists need to put much more intentionality and creativity into their designs now, generic is out.
>>555215063Start with Pong, retard.
>>555214749I wouldn't complain if he were already far into development but elfdev is still very early in and has already implemented the change and now the artstyle looks good and consistent! Well it already looked good but now it's consistent as well! Immersion is saved and it took him less than an hour.
>>555215325yup, I was also surprised I could get anything useful out of it
>>555213654Use head/body proportions to hint at how brutish the character is.
>>555215802The proper way to do it is to make the body huge instead of making the head small.
Another Monday, same as every other day because unemployed. Wake up, clean up around the kitchen, go to the store, make breakfast, make coffee, work 5 hours on game.I'm still adding enemies. In 2 days I got them to spawn at terrain level and notice when a target is in range. Today I'll make it so they know if a target is in the line of sight and decide when and where to shoot. Actual bullets will probably wait until tomorrow. It's going slooooow, glacial.
>>555216487Could you post the actual game?
>>555216487:)
I've felt awful, dizzy and nauseous, and just looking at my game in motion is bringing those feelings back... Not like this...

i have 0 gamedev experience but want to make a turn based rpg, could i code it using ai? i only know html and css lol. could try rpg maker but its meant to be crap. also ive heard people say rpgs take long to make, why is that?
>>555219206use rpgmaker
>>555217696budding comedians champing at the bit to drop a banger positive review>this game changed my life!>toon souls? more like tune my soul, I'm a changed man from having experienced this masterpiece >one hand on my penis the other hand on toon souls >Recomend! i finally found something worse than my ex-wife! >very cool they should add sex >To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Toon Souls. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Toon Souls nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their characterisation - their personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Toon Souls truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Toon Souls puzzle levels which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Toon Souls tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand
>>555219206just vibecode
>>555219206use rpg maker. it will be better than anything you can vibe code. rpgs take a long time because you are telling a story and making escalating combat challenges, variety of towns/npcs/quests/music/abilities etc. a team of 100s can't even get it right half the time, what hope do you have?
>>555217696Just like make a good game that people want to play SUCKA
>>555219206>rpgs take long to makein most RPGs what takes the longest is making content. so once you get over that skill hump it will mostly take time.
Haven't done game dev in about three years, how is the state of godot 3d? or are unreal/unity still the go-to?
>>555219206with enough time and creativity you can make turnbased rpgs in powerpoint
>>555219306what exactly is vibecoding? because i get the general gist but i dont entirely get it>>555219424well can you recommend another type of game for me to try and make if i want to write 20 hours of bullshit with some fights here and there
>>555219206>rpgs take long to makereally depends on content scope and how hard you lean into existing tooling like rpgmaker. something along the lines of the coffin of andy and leyley or undertale can probably be shat out in a few months.
>>555220106Undertale took years to make I think. There was definitely a Kickstarter. The combat system basically being a bullet hell instead of a traditional RPG's probably helped shave down time.
Next week starts the game jam! And we want (you) to get in on some of the fun! >But how Hold on I'm getting there. What makes this jam unique is that we're letting the whole board vote on some requirements for the games being made. Starting tomorrow through Thursday you'll vote each day on 3 different mechanics that have the potential to be required for the participants. The ones in circulation are: >educational content >All in game text must rhyme >Loot boxes >Mouth made SFX >Betting >Big titty shopkeeper >QTE >Magic meter (or equivalent) >Perma death So you have the chance to really fuck over some people or throw them a bone and vote on a good one. It's up to you. The Jam games will be made starting Feb 1st and running to the 7th. On the 7th, we'll be hosting a special Livestream where we play through the submissions and rank them. Whoever wins the community and judge ranking wins $100 in either steam credit or just sent to them. Their choice. >Overview trailer (featuring the girls) https://youtu.be/uz-PvOSgMEc >Jam page https://itch.io/jam/v3jam
>>555219981>what exactly is vibecodingThe original definition is that its when you turn your brain off and write 100% of your code through AI prompts and you "go with the vibes". I spend a fuck ton of time programming, both for my hobbies and my job, and I only do 100% vibe coding when the thing I'm working on is meant to be thrown away, i.e. a script to check something or a PoC for a feature.AI assisted tools are great, but unless you're making pong, games are in the complexity class where a human has to get involved at some point, and there vibe coding will bite you in the ass hard.>another type of game if I want to write 20 hours of bullshit with some fights here or there20 hours of story is more work than you think. if this is your first game I'd scope down to 5 hours, or maybe even less. no hard feelings, just experience.
>>555219981>well can you recommend another type of game for me to try and make if i want to write 20 hours of bullshit with some fights here and therePeople typically read at 200-300 words per minute, a 20-hour book is roughly 240,000-360,000 words. writing that much would take years unless you are doing it full time.while your ambition may be to work on an rpg for a few years and release it, that almost never happens for first timers, they don't know how to scope a game and end up in a death loop of trying to make it better to justify how long it's taken, and it never ends. pick a timeframe, release something by then. an easy genre with writing could be an escape room with a bunch of notes scattered about and a radio or voice that gives clues.
>>555220428I thought the modifiers will be voted on every day for the game jam's duration, not before. That's what was supposed to make it unexpected, right?
>>555220737>>555220829ok thanks
Fucking hindujeets are enshittificating /agdg/ again... Bastard bitch!
>>555221149to keep the scope down, use rpgmaker, but set whole the game inside a house. like Look Outside, except "don't look under the bed" or something. "don't open the bedroom closet at night"during the day read emails and order supplies. at night monsters in the closet are there to fight in turnbased battles. over the course of the game via the emails you learn more about the story.
>>555221451do you mean that Betz is African? Hindu != African

>>555221602KILL YOURSELF
>>555220984I initially was going to do it that way but I got a lot of pushback because I was proposed the legitimate point of people making a good chunk of progress and then constantly having to undo it to work in the modifiers. It seemed more unfair than fun so we decided to do it the week before as to not fuck over all the participants .
>>555221726you should, I shouldn't, correct.

It turns out you don't actually own YOUR games you put on Steam.

Nortubel, make your posts more concise. This is how your game's card would look like in the recap (today, soon)I don't even know what to do with it. Do I leave it? Do I modify it?
>>555208873the big head skeleton would work if the skeleton was smallerthe point being that it's in the same style, so it looks ... well, yeah, it looks like a cartoony skeleton for a cartoony game but the girl seems to be forcing that. I don't want to call her cartoony but it feels like the skeleton has to be cartoony if it's next to her.>>555213654like, see, even adult characters aren't much bigger than the kids anyway
>>555222326It's possible that you have the right to pull your game from steam without using that form, it's just they'd rather you use the form so it's less work on their end.
>>555222757Anon's Game+ Spent hour's on art, might use one or two of the pieces in the final gameLol that's so short, is it even worth posting it despite the hours spent?
>>555222326I've always wondered how this works. If you need to have a company to sell games and you don't make more games then eventually it will cost more in fees to keep the company running than the game makes. At that point you should stop selling the game and shut down the company, right?
any tips on how to survive a game jam? I am planning to do GGJ this weekend (24h). this will be my first time, so I expect to fail, but maybe I can improve my chances somehow. I will be using a simple framework, kinda similar to Love2D.

>>555224017it doesn't take much money for a company to exist. you need to pay for a PO box (or just register it to your home address) and to file tax returns which should be dead simple if you're not bringing in income. the bank will charge you some nominal monthly fee to keep the account open.

>>555227610Anon not even the gabencunt cube will be affordable because of the RAM shortages. They affected EVERYTHING. Consider this potential scenario:In 10 years, why would the average zoomeroid pay $3500 for a steam shitcube where you have to also buy every game to play on, when he can just buy a $700 shitass 4GB ram phone which will be good enough to watch tiktok slop and youtube slop, both of which are free?More sophisticated users will probably move on to literature and cinema.We'll be lucky if even a third of the total non-mobile gaming market remains by that point.
Can't believe I have health complications slowly killing me, and I still check this shithole every day instead of just hurrying up on my game so I can finish something before I die.Socmed addiction is worse than alcohol.

>>555217532Anything game isn't left, is right these days.
>>555107930>Question: When does video game development take too long?>Why is it possible to prototype an attractive, almost complete game in a Jam, but when it comes to making the final game, it takes years?There's a couple factors:- A game that does well in a game jam isn't necessary something people would pay money for. Game developers might like it and give it positive reviews, but I remember maybe one or two jam games I kept coming back to over and over again, or left a strong impression of story, which I thought "I would pay for this". Most developers know this, and once the question of "would someone random pay money for this?" comes into the picture, they know they have to have a massive restructuring OR increase the quality by two magnitudes which means more art, less bugs, more content, and this increases work exponentially.- In a game jam, you can take all sorts of short-cuts that make things easier like spaghetti coding, placeholder assets, even omitting sfx(don't do this, get one of the free GDC yearly sfx drops). This isn't something most people figure out, but starting over from scratch is often times the CORRECT decision and many successful devs will do this many times over. It doesn't work for everyone though, some people work more "linearly" and can cope better, but it's never all one-way or the other.- Many game jams are made in generalized engines(Unreal, Unity, Godot, etc.) and all of these products are great at the start, but once you try to FINISH a game you see all the cracks like broken occlusion culling, the lack of any level editor, corruption on large projects, and many other annoying bugs that you either have to modify the engine to fix or hope and pray that Juan stops catering to game jam devs and Epic stops devving for Fortnite for five seconds so they can fix the stuff that affects developers who finish games.tl;dr: Game Devs are poor judges of what sells, complexity scales for larger projects, devs start over, and engines suck
It's like I'm a fucking wizard with magic powers and Godot is my magic wand

>>555233483>They aren't game ready though, it's the same as sourcing your sfx from random youtube videos.so fix it in Audacity or FL studio in 30 seconds like anybody with over 90 IQ
>>555229081>No I don't want to use godotYou'd already be out of the prototyping stage by now if you did
Is it true that if the first 20-30 reviews of your game is poor, the game is fucked forever? Has there ever been a time a game recovered from that? No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk did but those aren't solo dev indie games.

>>555235753No it was mixed/negative reviews and dead in the water until I picked it up in 2024, wrote a good review for it explaining the unintentional genius of the level design and difficulty of the game. It was read and well liked by a lot of people and it changed the trajectory of the game more than doubling its sales. It's one of my favorite platformers on Steam.

>>555236953it goes on sale regularly but I don't think it was ever 80% off in 2024 or most of 2025
I found a fast way to get the max value of a variable.
>>555213670https://steam-revenue-calculator.com/app/915310/snkrx I'm the dev of this game and this is ridiculously, absolutely an underestimate. I'm too lazy to check the actual value on the Steam backend but net revenue is easily 6-7 times what this estimates, if not more. Not sure who's running this website but they're clearly doing something hilariously wrong.
>>555238049show a video (yes, video) of an up-to-date revenue graph (yes, graph) in Steamworks or you're a liar!

Which of my two programs is the one?
>>555238139-80% 2024 winter sale
>>555238128The value on the picture alone is what the game sold 50 days after release. And this was written at that time: https://a327ex.com/posts/snkrx_log. Just that alone is wildly higher than the gross revenue the website is saying my game has. You can imagine how it grew over time, especially since it came before Vampire Survivors and the success of that game made way more people buy SNKRX over the years than they would otherwise have, yes?

Did you know that there is a common problem of steamies not finishing the games they buy? It's not just a problem for indies, literally every single game is like this. You don't even need the proper Steam analytics, you can just look at every game that has achievements on Steam. Most "game completed" achievements on Steam have less than 30% completion rate. And none above 50%.Half of your potential userbase will never see the ending of your game (if it has it).It's why it's such a good idea to make roguelike slop/friendslop. If steamies won't bother to finish your game, you don't have to either.
>>555240684Don't you have to pay for servers if your game is multiplayer? I can't afford that.
>>555240927You can settle for singleplayer roguelike slop like Vampire Survivors or Megabonk. As long as it has enough flashing colours and numbers and MUH CHEEVOS, steamies will be happy.
>>55524068420% of those who bought my game didn't play it even once because the total number of players is 80% of the total number of purchases.I'm thinking of ways to identify this type of player and market exclusively to them.
>>555241065The only thing that matters is if popular streamers/youtube channels "glaze" your game. But how? Do you just send them an e-mail with a code for the game, the popular guys certainly don't read their entire inboxes. I'm not even sure how to convince those big channels to take a look into a game by nobody.
>>555240684>>555241202They've already done the market analysis on this type of player and turns out they just collect games more so than play them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOW-IU-rqNcNew Branno kino... an interview this time!
Ouch.
>>555241257You usually start out with smaller channels and hope those cover you, and then after that you hope that the viewers of those smaller e-celebs tricke up to bigger ones and shill your game to them.
How do you get good at extending the length of your game? MMOs handle this with long travel times and low drop rates. What other methods are there?
more work on attack cancelling. all regular melee attacks can now be cancelled into special attacks
>>555238850battling AI psychosis
>>555241376I already like this better than the /v/3 one
Is it legal to advertise your game anonymously? Like if I made reddit, tiktok youtube accounts and just praised my own game?
>>555241834yep
>>555241834whenever you wonder if something is legal, see if someone ever actually got prosecuted for it. many things are technically illegal are but done regularly without repercussions.
it's kind of crazy how reliant indies are on mastering social media algorithms if they want any sort of exposure these days
>>555242345You can say thanks to gabencunt for that.>we'll take 30% of your revenue from you once you succeed, but you must get there on your own lol, cuck dev
>>555240382sounds neat, I do that kind of thing tootruly the ultimate form of human expression, no machines or slop just purely from the heart with no restraints
>>555242507>oh, you finally made your game but it took $1,000,000 to make?>well...>yes, your game did make that $1,000,000 back, but actually, I'll be taking $300,000. Lmao look at this loser, $300,000 in debt. I'll be using that money to pay off my personal chef on my superyacht.
Gaben exploits gamedevs so gamedevs should exploit gamers. Day 1 DLCs and microtransactions should be the bare minimum
after doing a strong amount of research on game design i'm starting to believe MMORPG is the ultimate game genre
I wish I could afford a Macbook so I can go to cafes and work on my game there and have cute waitresses ask about my game.Instead I'm making my game on a desktop with weaker specs than most laptops.
>>555239937>>555238839Please kill yourself, self-sucking samefaggot.
I'm tired boss...Maybe I'll just relax today
>>555243371>so gamedevs should exploit gamers.We already do that through unfinished Early Access scams.Peripeteia is a good example from /agdg/.I do have to say that it's hilarious that gamers still fall for these even though we have literal YEARS worth of examples of why Early Access would be a scam for them.
>>555242661>>yes, your game did make that $1,000,000 back, but actually, I'll be taking $300,000.They actually take more than $300k. I'm pretty sure they pay THEIR OWN VAT and taxes at your expense (lol) so the total cut ends up being closer to a full half, like $495k or something. So from a million dollars that you'll make on Steam, AT BEST you'll likely be paid out $500k (that you still get taxed on anyway if you're not a U.S. resident)
>>555243959No way! Move it.

I have an insane game feature idea that I'll never use. It applies ideally to a massively multiplayer game like Ark or Rust. There will be no preset races, stats, abilities, passives, etc. Instead that's all procedural. When a server first comes into existence, the first 50 players to join will become "race founders" and be able to highly customize their character with custom stat modifiers, abilities (using a custom ability creator), traits, racial appearance, etc. In this game you can mate with other players and have kids and new players join as one of your kids. Your kid is the same "race" as you and matches your stat modifiers, abilities you created, etc. However this is where gradual evolution kicks in, if you join as a kid, over your lifetime by leveling up etc you gain points used to modify your character, at the end of your lifetime maybe you were able to deviate 30% from your racial template. If you then have kids they will be 30% different than your ancestors, over enough generations you can create an enitrely new race that didn't exist before, just not instantly like the race founders did. You can create your own unique tribe of people, vastly different stats/appearance/traits/etc. btw none of these races are necessarily human at all, although they're all humanoid, but you can create completely alien races resembling Reptilians or Gray Aliens or Insectoids for example, human was never the foundation, the race founders can create anything whether it resembles a human or not, but it will be humanoid.

>>555245038I'm mostly just copying the old defunct recap system and that had links.
This man haunts eric's dreams
>>555245461So yes, it will have an ability creator, a race creator, a passives/traits creator (by traits i mean like for every upside you must accept a downside), everything is just created, nothing preset.
>>555245461>>555245778I said I wouldn't pongpost any more but you're tempting me...
>>555245461>>555245778Thanks for posting your gay, retarded, stupid idea where even if it was possible it still sucks and isn't cool gameplay. Really good post. Really cool to know that even with infinite resources on the table your ideas are diarrheal nonsense. Great read.
How do you recreate every aspect of this game with as low of a budget as possible?That includes the voice acting, you can't just "get rid of it".And no AI is allowed (besides for code) because gemmers will shit themselves over it.
>>555246514>be very charismatic>have a bunch of people work on your game for freethat's how.
Been thinking I like the idea of turning trello into a JRPG harem parody.
you will begin to learn, gamers don't want gameplay, they want timesinks
>>555246754Working with others is a risk. If they leave, especially the coders/artists, you're fucked. So it's preferable to stay solo for as much of it as humanly possible.
>>555246514If you are willing to break the law or copyright or stuff, then reverse engineer it through decompilation. And rip assets.Depends on what you mean by "recreate", though.
>>555242507If it's that simple why not just sell on itch for a 100% cut?

Should I bench unity? Every time I ask for information or help I get reddit tier answers and a lot of retardation that I don't know if I want to keep up with. I hate the hub, the whole drama years back and I feel no one gives a fuck anymore.I liked unity but I don't know if I should keep up with all the bullshit. I don't know if you can use c# in unreal and I feel Godot it's more of the same bullshit, but maybe I'm wrong.
>>555249548no, i don't want to help a homosexual
>>555249687what issues do you have with unity?
>>555249796The spyware and the tracking installs thing years back made me lose trust in unity. I don't know what information they collect from you currently and I want to be sure EXACTLY what they are getting or if I can use the editor offline and if they don't track installs.I wanted to use Wireshark to see what packets are being sent but I'm not sure.
>>555250119use godont then
>>555248931My 2 cents.I would have been lazy and chosen to animate something that is easier to animate while still looking good.But I deal with code, I do not deal with art.
>>555250441The small pump on the side is pretty lazy anon.
>>555250305I hate gdscript and I feel Godot is full of tranny devs. It also seems to not have as many features as other engines. I checked their discord and it's even worse than unity's
>>555250119you're safer with Unity because it's high profile and under scrutiny than you'd be with some obscure framework that can include whatever it wants in its code without anyone noticing or caring.
>>555250587>youre safer with this closed source editor rather than the open source one because uhh just trust them bro
>>555248931This. Changes. Everything.I know that your last game, Gay Twink Cris Art in Space didn't sell well, but I think you should really commit to animating low framerate cloths in the background of your latest work, Retarded Furry Faggot Twink Garbage in Space. No matter how much time it takes, you should definitely focus on this instead of improving your character art/anatomy/drawing like anons have been saying for several months.I really see it. This is it. It's here, it's queer, and it's fucking happening. I can already hear the songs of your praise in reviews:>Finally an LGBTQIA friendly space-based number game with visual novel features where still images of poorly drawn androgynous bird people display over text. The subtle environmental animations completely immerse me in this vivid world where the dev was obviously cranking it but didnt go so far as to actually make a porn game, instead he made something just gay and suggestive enough to make it impossible for normal people to enjoy while also being too tame for wankers to beat it to.Yeah. This is based. Uncanny Valley? More like Silicon Valley with the amount of cash you're going to rake in. Based.
>>555250526I don't know what you mean.What I was referring to is that the animation of the clothes at the top looks like complete shit and trash, and that an easier target for animation would have been nice. Or some animation approach that is easier to make look good.What lazy animation approaches are out there?Cris, I summom thee!
>>555251020But I liked the art of Journey in Azure.
>>555227350I'm so hyped to buy a steam machine and dev on it. Exited to make my next game optimized for it like how I optimized BOKUBE for the steam deck
>>555250862you're not going to inspect every dependency of some obscure framework you're using. what's worse, no one will, so if they use a library that uses a library that has something that will steal your crypto wallet or your google account, you won't even know how it happened.if Unity fucks up, everyone will know the same day.

>>555251463>if Unity fucks up, everyone will know the same daylmao

>>555251020>>555251404Is it weird if I liked the character art of Journey in Azure more than that of the furry space trading game and the later characters? As in, I like the oldest character art more than the newer character art.I like this old art.
>>555253648that's because your a brain damaged (mentally ill) faggot (homosexual)
>>555253648The lineart my guess is, I have the same sensation where thicker line added a more bande desiné feel to the character.
I'm building my raymarching in a way similar to how Teardown does it. I'm going to be a cool dev who posts tiny voxels. It's going to bring a golden age to /agdg/. I'm not going to hide from my /agdg/ association.
>>555224812Yeah, but that's still gonna be hundreds of dollars a year. $200 for a $5 game means that it needs to sell a lot of copies.
>>555244459but that does mean you don't have to pay VAT yourself, right?that VAT goes towards the respective countries. The main detriment is that if you otherwise would not be required to pay VAT (anyone earning under £85,000 a year doesn't have to pay VAT in the UK iirc) you still end up paying it because steam has to.

>>555257059>>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE HECKIN ECELEBERINO NOOOOOOOOO STOP POSTING! YOU LOST YOU LOST YOU LOOOOOST!!!!!
>>555256270Stuff in a project usually breaks between versions. Nodes types are changed, removed, etc, the devs take a lot of freedom on what they do in between second digit version jumps. There's a few examples. Whenever you update you should spend a lot of time retesting everything. If you never had a problem well let's say you're lucky (or you never noticed that bugs appeared only after you updated). I would only encourage updating if you need X feature or you can verify a bug you're having is fixed in a newer version.
Since nobody posted any bugs about the last bokube demo build (I just got positive reviews from people in /v/) I think the demo is stable enough to release a linux build later today and a mac build tomorrow.

>>555262506I mean without a middleman.I have some builds but I want to keep being anonymous. I want to release and be done with it get feedback and carry on. But I don't want unity collecting my data or leaving traces on the build or bullshit because IT ALWAYS HAPPENS they get powned or a data reach and bullshit arises. And I've seen what they have done and I don't trust them.So I don't care whatever bullshit they spout, I want to check myself with Wireshark and check internet connection and see for myself what data are they getting, with the hub, engine and builds.I don't know why they need internet connections in the first place.

>>555259043I'll bite.I'm working on side project - tiny website promoting my game, giving a small riddle solved with help of natural language, small taste of the game. I decided to try LLM agent VS Code has been pushing for a while to set up a proper frontend. Never liked that part of the job.Simple instructions - decent output, with few lines I was able to iron out most of the issues, and then I told LLM about a bug caused by one of the buttons. Little shit initialized a dev run, clicked through the website, managed to pin down the issue and create a solution.I was blown away. Granted, it's a tiny project with only few files, results were getting worse as the scope grew, but nonetheless it's impressive.Notch might be right if it comes to serious, complex systems, but in this case AI saved me few days of work. God bless AI.

>>555229081I run unity on my 5 year old laptop just fine. You just have to configure it so that it doesn't waste resources loading things you dont need.
>>555264060Anyone?
3 years ago i was at community college and I came here complaining about motivation and why does my game take so long to make and someone here said you just suck at programming and I got mad.Now I am a senior at an accredited university studying computer science and have solo shipped a project and im working on the same game I put away 3 years ago and development is now blazingly fast and easy. I really did just suck at programming.
>>555268968Sorry but, you're not going to get the help you need here. You need to speak with a professional.
>>555263986Well this took no fucking time. Note that when both capsules move at the same time, I intended to go north.
>>555268847Proof?
>>555262112Oh I am 100% sure Unity keeps your personal data. Why wouldn't they? It helps them develop their product better. Plus if you make cp with your game they want to be able to track you down and arrest you. I am pretty sure players cannot track down and open up Unity info. I believe thats why people become engine devs or use a framework instead of an engine to keep their identity private. Its all about trade offs. If youre not making anything sussy and illegal just use Unity for ease of use. If you are, make your own engine or use one that doesn't track and doesn't have licenses. You gotta think in terms of money. Unity loses an important developer if they expose your private info to the public. But they make more money by keeping your info in their db.
>>555249687All 3 of those engines suck. However Godot has a lot of tutorials that are far more useful than Unity's. With Unity I just find a bunch of very small turorials or some grifters making a tutorials series that gets left undone or is done poorly. Unity seems to have a larger crowd of grifter teachers. Unreal seems non existant so I don't even bother. Godot has it's own special language and working so that's a pass. That only leaves Gamemaker, RPGMaker, and Unity for 2D games. 3D only leaves me with Unity. Gamemaker at least felt simple when I tried it, just looking at Godot and how it works is not reinforcing though it does have some better features than Unity and better tutorials as the youtube space isn't like Unity where it is mostly grifters or low quality teachers that aren't really all that great for learning the engine. Branno himself with his Vampire Survivors clone puts the majority of those 100k subscriber count grifters in their place. Ironic as I've watched a girl with paltry subscriber numbers give good complete Unity tutorials compared to those with a crowd. So yeah the Unity youtube space mostly feels like snake oil salesmen trying to sell you low quality tutorials or the gamedev dream. Btw not too sure on the Godot space since I dont go actively browsing for it.

>>555267215>okay Link you saved the world we get it>now get a jobGrim, why even save the world?
>>555249687It just depends on what you want. I am making mobile game and Unity has the best engine for it. Sure there are other options but they are far less developed. I can spend my time and energy fiddling with an engine or framework or just making my game. If my game were PC id have other options. If you were doing a 2d game maybe go with monogame. If you were doing 3d do unreal. Learning a new language (like gdscript or c++) is trivial once you are good at programming. It just really depends on what you want.

>>555270245Your ideas are not good if you can't make them. Scope is an important design consideration. You should make games within your capabilities.
>>555270245If other people like this type of game it just means higher demand for your type of game :)Its like how zombie survival players finish a game and think "man i want more of that" and they play more zombie survival game

>>555269491Oh, never mind, lmao.
>>555270421while i don't like the quirky presentation either, it's popular and the common gamer really likes it so my game probably wouldn't have been as successful because my humor is pretty dryit's hard to explain but i think someone like cr1tikal is a perfect example of the "average dude" that this appeals to. the kind of guy who just calls everything a bopper, banger, slapper, keeps using meme terms to describe everything and really just never takes anything seriously>>555270770at it's core it's actually just fantasy risk of rain with a higher playercount, which was what i had in mindnot for any higher reason, it was just "i want to make my own risk of rain, but i'll try a fantasy theme to differentiate it from risk of rain's alien sci-fi stuff and also give it a higher lobby size because even risk of rain is just more fun with more players">>555270457this is very true. looking at LORT it's an actual studio made up of experienced developers many of which have a similar background as me which is just modding the popular roguelite games such as, surprise surprise, risk of raini seriously need to learn to limit and scope properly because my games always explode into forever projects and really if there's a pattern of people always releasing something very similar to what i've already been working on then the originality of the idea might not be the biggest issue, rather the fact that i just take too long?>>555270463>>555270645>>555270620maybe i'll pivot a bit and try out some of the other ideas i had to differentiate it a bit from this game because while i like the optimistic "holy shit, two cakes!" idea of the consumer, maybe i'll tone down on the roguelite elements a bit and increase the playercount even more?100 player dungeon crawler sounds pretty cool for example

>>555269627I'm not talking ilegal stuff, I just know how crazy people are and how 80% of people would fuck you over if they could. I just don't trust them. Even if you put a slightly politically incorrect phrase in your game, people come after you like a witch hunt. Do many people getting fucked over by mentally ill people I don't want any problems. Plus I don't care about fame, I only want to program games. But companies have lied and powned so many times I don't know why anyone would instantly trust them with anything.

>>555272495There's some dogshit subscription services out there. CGcookie is the worst I've ever dealt with though. No cancel button so you have to email them to cancel, which I did, and they ended up charging me the next month anyway. I emailed the same guy who said he was going to cancel it and a week later he emails back saying he forgot.
>>555269687Godot is better than unity?
>>555273924How does it work? I (>>555273064) used AI to set up the initial state of the game, but I have since manually replaced like 90% of its code. Now I struggle to get a coherent response out of it. Do you use some paid model?
Progress:I got cute while programming and god punished me.But I learned my lesson do put variables into the slice they will change when you change the variable and you will get fucked.This is because I thought I could just replace all my allocations in update with variables and I would be cool like the C and Rust people.But I don't need to be cool I just want it to work, I wont do it again I'm sorry.

>>555274367(For example, I want to use AI with my game and not disclose it. I'm confident with enough edits I can make something that passes as non AI but leftists are fucking crazy).If the builds or the engine has personal data on it on installs or when you use them, an "accident" can happen when all of my data is leaked and then the fucking leftists go full agro.
>>555275157to vibecode well you really need the paid ones and top of the line models im not shilling use whichever but thats just the reality

>>555276012>>555276728theyve been breaking shit long before vibecoded AI slop, the company is fully jeeted and thats a way bigger problem than AI
>>555275157Not really a matter of model.It's more like limiting the amount of what the LLM can rewrite and minizing what It can nuke.So, the trick is to write like a psuedo C, by separating everything into modules, and separating the data inside smaller structs, and then each function into a single script per function.Ironically by doing this, most of the codebase is blinded from LLM rewriting something and you only allow it to make minimal edits with each prompt.Another trick is to request the LLM to rewrite the function, because that seems to give the LLM context of what the previous code actually is.
>>555278379that's correct
>>555278817>that's correct
>>555278853yes
>>555273064The wizard is in. God help us all.

>>555248931You clearly put effort and overall the scene looks pretty cool but im gonna be bluntHaving something in the background move that much with nothing in the foreground (IE the characters or even any UI stuff such as an arrow or dots telling the player to continue the dialog can be a detriment because the movement of the sails or whatever immediately draws the viewers eyes.I'm not saying DON'T have animated backgrounds, but just keep in mind that animated visuals are an important tool for telling the player where to look or giving them information.
Notch is the creator of the greatest indie game ever made and the best selling game of all time and he says vibecoding is shit and I'll take his word for it before anyone here.
>>555279445>>what's this dude's problem lol

I'm not taking part in this retarded spam "argument" but for anyone that genuinely might want to use AI for coding, just know that it's best if you think of it as a senior/junior programmer thingAs in you're the senior, you ask the intern junior for some code and then you go through what it put together for you and if it's bad, you can either have the junior (AI) fix the issues you found or fix them yourself, or worst case scenario, write the whole thing yourself if it's not working out at allAI is not good enough to code your game for you, it's not senior level

It had more soul and was prettier than the average of /agdg/. Clearly better than the 2D art of Guns and Nuns, for instance. Character art worse than Poke ALL Toads, while environments are better than Poke ALL Toads, but Poke ALL Toads is probably also near the top of /agdg/, and the character art of Journey in Azur was likable, clearly more so than most of /agdg/.Are you envious of Journey in Azur's art?

>>555262112If it makes you feel any better the actual unity devs had zero clue how they were gonna track installs when that announcement was made and there was a whopping 0% progress on it.

The latest bokube demo has been uploaded to linux on itch https://bokudev.itch.io/bokubeI know there was a few of you that refused to play until I put out a linux build but with how unity takes A WHOLE HOUR to switch from windows building to linux I wanted to wait till it got enough updates to be stable and good enough for gamers before releasing to linux. Mac will be tomorrow. (Unless I see a demo review that makes me want to put out a version 17 build.

Imagine working on a HD RTX Unreal remaster of your game before you even ship the original.
>>555301969Chocolate?!
>>555283056Been working and using my free time to draw, not dev. Did chip away some progress during these last two snow days to add more player skills. Added a Megaman Zero style ground dash. Works with either double tap forward or holding the dodge button. Also felt like the wall jump was a lame skill to pick first, so now it'll let you climb up walls and combos into the wall jump.

im trying to make a npc in unity without using navmesh agents, and im stuck.issue is theres no way to determine when the npc has reached a point along the path, the only way i could think of was by checking the distance from the point but its too inaccurate and fucks up jumping.anyone have any clue as to what the solution for my mathmatical conundrum may be?
>>555306232>anyone have any clue as to what the solution for my mathmatical conundrum may be?yeah download Godot
>>555306232Yeah—don’t check distance. Check whether the NPC has passed the waypoint.The standard fix is a dot-product / segment test, which is jump-safe and frame-accurate.Best solution (robust)Treat each path segment as a line and detect when the NPC crosses the waypoint plane.Vector3 toTarget = target - transform.position;Vector3 segmentDir = (target - previousPoint).normalized;// If dot < 0, we've passed the targetif (Vector3.Dot(toTarget, segmentDir) < 0f){ AdvanceToNextPoint();}Why this works:Doesn’t care about jump heightNo magic distance thresholdsFrame-rate independentWorks even at high speed
>>555306656>Yeah—don’t

>>555307140il never understand why some people feed questions i ask them into chatgptwhen i ask a human, i want a human response. if i wanted to ask chatgpt, id have asked chatgpt
>>555307558You aren't entitled to a human response and are gently being nudged into not being a worthless boomer who can't use new tools.
>>555307558This sucks
>>555307140The funny part is that it's not even a solution. It's basically just trying to pack together technical sounding words that retards like Joshua have no hope of ever understanding.>>555307558The human response is that you're also retarded. Learn to what information you need to communicate in order for someone to be able to actually solve your problem. Explain what problem you're trying to solve, and don't try to explain your failed solutions.
>>555307558it is a human response, chatgpt scraped it from stackoverflow
I sense a meltie comin on
>>555307558Same reason why I go to the amateur gamedev general to expect amateur gamedev and not tranime, neo vaginas, ugly russian cartoons, children or ecelebs.It is what it is, just make the place worse however you can that's the true thread culture or just work on your game like the rest of us and don't take the thread seriously.
You heard it here Aggy. Try giving away the game for your free engagement.
>>555307558because your question is so easy an ai could answer it that's why from our judgement we decide the bar is low enough for ai response
>>555307675>gently being nudged into not being a worthless boomer who can't use new tools.itd be one thing if chatgpts code was actually decent, which it isnt 90% of the time. most use ive gotten out of it is by using it as a google replacement since everything is seo slop now>>555307798>The human response is that you're also retardedyea i know im retarded, thats why im asking for help so that i wont be retarded
>>55530755899% of times your question has already been asked so just google it and read the stackoverflow threads like everyone else had to or just ask GPT since that's what it's doing 99% of the time too
ai is indiancore. surely you arent a jeet, right anon?
If you want to make money with AI, your best bet is short form content. It's definitely not video games. I just tried watching YouTube shorts for the first time in like half a year, and it's completely unwatchable now. More than half of the videos are AI generated fake stories, and the majority of viewers appear to have no fucking clue.
>>555308614Take it easy there anon. AI is giving agdg's nodevs a second chance to be a yesdev.
>>555308064Gameboy aesthetics are kinda kino, but they come off just slightly lower effort than I'd want for a game
eceleb worship and pedophilia are indiancore. surely you arent a jeet, right anon?

I have discovered a life hack where my mom doesn't threaten me with having to find a job as long as I am working on a game. The game doesn't have to be successful, I just have to be working on one. Time to strap in and begin development on my fourth (failed) game!
>>555309076>>555309920That game donated 10K to OTK Games Expo. He literally needs to make that much to get back to 0.
I wasted an entire day trying to vibe code a mugen clone.I failed because I got a point where It was just spagetti.But I am 100% now happy because It was enough practice to sort of like make a basic game engine using rust like a begginer training wheels.Now I am now not afraid of doing enginedev with SDL in rust.
>>555310256if you're at all serious cris don't use rust use sepples. yes sepples sucks but rust sucks more.

>>555271921>this is very true. looking at LORT it's an actual studio made up of experienced developers many of which have a similar background as me which is just modding the popular roguelite games such as, surprise surprise, risk of rain>i seriously need to learn to limit and scope properly because my games always explode into forever projects and really if there's a pattern of people always releasing something very similar to what i've already been working on then the originality of the idea might not be the biggest issue, rather the fact that i just take too long?How does one go from modding games to getting a job at an indie studio?
>>555310256Send Blow a detailed description of your project and ask to try JAI.
>>555309920>>555310206IDK about how much expenses they've accumulated, but assuming they price it at $10-15 and not $20+, it should get a solid 200-500 reviews in the first month, or around 100-300k revenue. It's also the kind of game that does well during sales, so it will continue to bring in money for years to come.

>>555310987nta but i saw a similar game release, 1000+ reviews iirc. it's hard to describe but despite the obvious skill his game lacks something i cant put into words. anyways isnt that game made by someone with ties to agdg, v, or the agdg discord?
>>555310256>I wasted an entire day trying to vibe code a mugen clone.>I failed because I got a point where It was just spagetti.This is why vibe coding is a meme.
>>555311206No, it joined the same scam expo as the pixel shart up there. Boot him from the vercel.
godot bros the new theme is fire
>>555311206It's not /agdg/. It was "why did it flop?" retard's obsession for a few days, and the guy who maintains the games by /agdg/ list got confused and maybe thought that no one could be homosexual enough to cry so much about someone else's game (he was wrong).
>>555297685Next thing you gonna tell me that Boeing disintegration after hitting the Pentagon is a completely normal thing, or that WTC7 collapsing on its own is a typical thing for New York's buildings
>>555311424ive seen other people (in youtube videos) use this theme before, but i was too lazy to get it. its a lot more compact but i honestly liked the blue color from before

>You can make a functional small mini game engine in like a single dayI just realized I was scammed by trying to use a game engine.I only need to make a basic window loop, a function to load sprites, a player class that is just a struct with basic pos, vel and other data, a character manager that loops the avatars, a character factory, an enemy class, an enemy factory, a GUI class, a camera class, and a renderer manager, an input manager, an scene manager, and a level which is nothing but a quadtree, and a ysort algo function, a 2D tilemap which is just a 2D array of 2D tiles, and a physics collision which is nothing more than a BPD tree.This can be done in like 3-4 days of work.
