isnt this thread supposed to be about game development??

Working on a service oriented game engine with explicit DI.

The idea is that when you rig the engine up, you know exactly which services your game uses, and which components use them.
It also allows for contiguous batch processing without going full retard ECS cult.
Everything is opt-in. There's not even a global "world" state. There are "actor" structs but hypothetically speaking you could make your own base class, give it a service, and have it interact with all the actors in the game, because none of the other systems (like rendering and collision) assume actors, either. Just handles into their services.

(Low FPS is from webbum compression)

>>557051480

project zomboid is sunk cost fallacy and it worked out great for them. sunk cost fallacy is a great mental tool to keep working on something until it works.
stop being greedy about resources. just waste them until it works out.

>>557051486
Can you show us some examples about how this works? Dont need to be in game.

Like can I do shit like
>features to use: top-down camera, 2d collisions, sprite stacking, 2d-particles
and so on and it will provide an smaller export size than the full engine?

>>557051480
Here's the problem. We have one person who if you squint could be considered a local eceleb. You have a wannabe eceleb that's more focused on trying to be that than his game. You have a third one that doesn't care about any of that and is just a tripfag so he's talked about as an eceleb.

This is also 4chan. Everyone pretends to be retarded here. Mix that with the combination of what I posted above and you have the absolute state of things in modern day /agdg/. But none of them will leave because
>The "squint and maybe" won't leave because they do stuff that involves the community
>The wanna be loves being mentioned
>The tripfag likes causing chaos
Accept it, filter the buzzwords, and do your best to not involve with at least the second and third. The first one just gets caught up in the shitposting sometimes but is otherwise harmless.

Say that you are making a comedy-oriented game or VN. How do avoid the pitfall of irony poisoning, or at the very least minimize acussations of doing it?
It's a two-fold thing, both of the actual quality of the writing itself, and the PR around it.
I mean "ideally" you'd get an editor/proofreaders, but writer should attempt to make their jobs easier by avoiding the problem in first place.
So far the first and most important rule I have is
>the characters never question the absurdity of their situation

it's literally just one guy spamming with VPNs

inner security is the key to consistency. self-doubts and people-pleasing will kill your identity, especially if you are chronically online. social media is in a constant state if criticizing and attacking people. if you absorb that feeling, you try to become perfect to avoid an critique. but if you have strong inner security you just do what you can do, you are who you are. you just do. because you just accept that if someone doesn't like you, it's just not a match. it doesn't say anything about your quality as a human being. it just says "there is no resonance here". and if being yourself is more important to you than resonating with everybody, then you'll be consistent. because you are the same person every day.

Yeah. The engine is layered and nothing really has priority.
The engine itself is called Sencha and has 3 layers of strict downward dependency, meaning you could make a game with only the first layer, or the first 2 layers, if you wanted:
>Kettle (bootstrap for systems, services, RAII, serialization)
>Teapot (abstractions for game services and systems. Base definitions for common structs)
>Infuser (implementation layer, "batteries included" stuff like collision, rendering and platform backends, etc.)

I should note that services are granular and decoupled from systems. You can have 1 service processed by multiple systems, or 1 system processing multiple services.

So, say you had particles.
>ParticleService
>ParticleUpdateSystem

But you want them to deal damage, too.
>ParticleDamageSystem

It's kind of like ECS, except you can opt-in for stateful objects when normal ECS would turn you codebase into a convoluted clusterfuck.

One big goal of mine is to get all of the "batteries included" services as decoupled as possible.
My "success state" for this looks like a 2D platformer that can transform into a 2.5D Wolf3D clone mid-frame. (Haven't done this yet)

I got no skin in this game but when I see games like Hollow Knight and Cuphead being made in Unity and not Game Maker it makes me think there is a reason for that.
It's like everyone saying that Godot is a super capable 3d engine but there isn't much in terms of shipped high fidelity games.

Yeah Claude can already nearly one-shot simple, isolated scripts and shaders. Like "I want this boat prop to have faked buoyancy" or "I want this prop to retract up on a cable and swing naturally as a rigidbody" etc. It's fun.

>>557057091
It's a pixel art font, but it's vector based.

I agree, but: 1) some text is too small to be rendered with pixel accuracy (see the small descriptions below the heroes and 2) i have no idea how to do that lol

Engine is libgdx with scene2d

>>557057193
Or even just dev tooling/nonfinal game behavior its good for. Like "I want a script where I can slot in any number of audio files and then play through them sequentially in order when I press Q". Makes choreographing ideas for voice over clips and what not so much easier than actually placing triggers or opening up audio files on a different monitor at the right time.

>dev pays 3k yen (<$20) for a commission, and gets art that mogs the shit out of anything that anyone in aggy can draw
This is why you shouldn't make a game that relies on anime, this is not your culture, you cannot produce or accurately recreate it. You are a westerner, a westerner trying to draw anime is like a fish trying to walk, maybe there are some extremely niche examples of fish that can flop their way over land between pools of water but this is not your natural habitat. Anything you make will be a shitty imitation, and you'll be out-done by a $20 sketch from an actual Japanese man.

This combined with the fact that western audiences see an anime girl in the game's capsule art and automatically assume its going to be a coom game.

I bet many members of the Frosch's /agdg/ familia are eagerly awaiting my frogress post. Right now, I am trying to set up serialization. Should be easy, just writing bytes to a file. But I realized I don't have a nice separation between static and dynamic data, only the later of which should be saved to files. So I'm changing things up a bit and doing some refactoring first.

>>557057563
that artist could charge more if he wanted. unless it's just that one cheek pull image that was 3k yen

>>557057563
But anime is just derivative from western animation?

>>557057563
If I didn't already have a IRL model for my project I would do this But since I do commissioning to the art sort of feels like a downgrade you know?

>>557057563
The Japanese have liked and commented positively on my anime drawings though.

>someone using skeb, how is that related to amateur gamedev?
It's related because agdg in particular has a massive blindspot when it comes to anime, they mistakenly believe that it makes their game appealing, when not only are most people here shit at drawing anime, but most western gamers also only view anime girls as being related to porn. People will make a perfectly good game, and then fill it with anime girls thinking they're making it better, but they're sabotaging their chances of success.

This is a worthwhile and relevant discussion and not ragebait. If questioning the value of anime does enrage you then you might be the type of person that this advice the most.
