>>557834014really high res
>>557833790>>557834306>>557834401Progress Anchor. Post Your Game Progress.
I realized too late that Fygoon was right.
I'm gonna make my first game with Godot. Working prototype viable in 2 weeks for a newfriend?
>>557834787Are you following a guide or using AI?
just pull the plug, you know you want toits time to grow up and get a real job
>>557834787No, you'll need time to learn everything
>>557834839FVARKKKK
>>557834912gamedev earned me more money than any job I was able to get. sadly it's over for human gamedev and I will have to find a job soon.
A game where you manage an underground political organization. Choose pacifism (propaganda, protests etc.) or violence (bombing, assassinations, kidnappings etc.). 2D, mostly map based, UI clicking, mostly text but not wall of texts, roguelike. A doctrines tech tree similar to the thoughts in disco elysium. Recruit agents, send them on missions, see the possible outcome chances beforehand, similar to event popups in CK3. Basically risk management.Anon said sounds like a flop. Does it?
>>557834849I do both. I have game mechanics planned and written, playtested with pen, paper & dice. Concept art and music is partially done as well.
>>557835431if you offset 2 days making it playable you're good
>>557835331>Anon said sounds like a flop. Does it?95% of games flop. you can't just make a good game, it needs to be exceptional to earn you as much as you'd earn from flipping burgers.
>>557835790So are we all gambling addicts here AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>557835898I guess that explains why I got a surge of dev motivation after getting some great rolls on gacha
>>557835632How come I have to pay $100 to enter the club and then pay $20 for drinks when I can get a bottle of Absolut for $25?
how come lolidevs seems to make the most progress bwos
>>557835331I can see why it feels like a flop. you described 6 or so mechanics. solo indie hits usually have 1 mechanic they NAIL. and you can just see from a thumbnail "I want to do that". it could sure work, but an uphill battle
>>557836236Because we're motivated by love
>>557836327So you're paying for opportunity and community? Gotcha
>>557836236pedotroon progress is posting the same /3/ render for years and whatever else cris is posting, bit grim if you ask me
>>557834912if I go back to my real job I'll just become bitter
>>557836434What are you even trying to say?
>>557836912your basic premise is flawed
>>557836997How many games have you sold without Steam?
>>5578371241
>>557837124I'm starting to believe the "zukjeet" is betz, you are too unemployed to just be a regular shitposter you do this every single day what the fuck is wrong with you man?
>>557837193And I wonder why that number is so low. Probably because subhumanized gamerpigs don't buy games outside of Steam due insane cultist devotion to the storefront.
Reposting the new version
>>557837307So you pay the fee by choice, the benefits are obvious
>>557837289I don't know who either of those people are.
>>557837415>So you pay the fee by choice,If you don't care about money, sure. But every dev who sold a game both on Steam and outside of Steam said that only Steam earns them money.>benefitsHolding the industry for ransom and being a leech like Valve isn't offering benefits.
>>557837805How does Valve hold the industry for ransom? You just said the consumers were cultists so what caused that to happen? Why does every consumer want to be on Steam?
>>557835632don't pay himdistribute your game yourself on a street corner
>>557837974>Why does every consumer want to be on Steam?I don't know. Steam isn't a particularly good launcher or strorefront.
>>557838397name a better one
>>557835632You actually receive the biggest platform in PC gaming, so you do get something. Many steamdrones will refuse to purchase your game if it's not on steam.
>>557838435Gog and itch.io if we're talking from a consumer standpoint (you actually own the copies of your games without any DRM).Developer milage may vary but the bigger question is the steamdrones. I really don't understand why they insist on sticking to Steam.
>>557838628Guy thinks it's a coincidence that we live in the only time where indie devs become literal millionaires and can compete with AAA on their own turf
>>557838808>we live in the only time where indie devs become literal millionairesAnd thousands of people win lotteries all over the world every day and become literal millionaires too. So?
evil institutions like valve who are objectively morally wrong keep winning because of the crab in a bucket mindset, nodev pedo crabs like zukjeet will defend gabencunt just because xhey are jealous of yesdevs making gamessome people deserve death, if they stay alive they make society worse and create inequality and private clubs
Torture pedotroons to death (in real life)
>>557838765Steam friends and recommended, most games that show up in my recommended feed are of a passing grade to where I will at least consider looking inside before writing them off.I can see what games my friends own and what they recommend, I can read the reviews, I can check when the reviews were made and what the playtime was at time of review.Not only that but the developers themselves can respond to critique if they want, it's got an integrated News feed, not that I've used it but maybe when Discord goes tits up I can use Steam as Voice Chat.If the game my squad and I are going to play have integrated steamworks functionality we can just right click each others names and press join without having to navigate menus.I get Steam cloud saves for free so that I can continue progress on any machine.Sorting through DLC is trivial and doesn't redirect me to separate storefronts to try and upsell me shit left and right.Steam Summer and Winter Sale are big reasons why, picking up items that's been sitting in your wishlist until they're 75% off can be a great way to pass time, sometimes there's themed sales which features solid titles, almost never AAA just about all of them indie, like if I've been looking for a Roguelike to play I can find one easier on the Roguelike sale.Modding games is trivialized with Steam Workshop + creators can be compensated for their work, lots of cases of 3D artists making more money making Dota 2 and CSGO items than their regular jobs in island nations. And it doesn't require some retarded launcher with ads or setting up a git folder just to keep your modfiles up to date.Conversely I navigate Itchio and just about every game looks like hot garbage because there's no barrier to entry, there are 9b nonprofit fangames of franchises I like but bastardized into crude abominations. GOG is the only "competitor" to Steam because they actually bother with pre-installed community patches for compatibility where it's needed.
I think
i think not, baby puppy
>>557838996why do you think he is a pedo?
>>557840332Why isn't it necessary?
>>557840331as i side project i track when certain posters are posting and put the data in a notion db, he has a 79% overlap with pedo ritualposts (normalized distribution), at first it was just to check which timezone was posting the least progress but it evolved into something else
>>557839997therefore, I AM
>>557840704woah publish it
>>557840723But people asked for these features, then they met their needs. I guess if they didn't do this other storefronts would outcompete them? Is your argument that they should make Steam worse so people switch storefront?
>>557840723Knowing what games my friends are playing helps me know what games to buy to play together, or what games to gift them.
>>557840990don't confuse him with too many arguments at once, I'm attempting to reframe his own argument in his head to see if he still think it makes sense
>>557841092Ok, 'pologies
>>557840332>>557840723Is this secret agent Tim Sweeney?
>>557841213>Do they not understand the dangers of centralisation? Do they not understand how easy it is to compromise Steam?They did and it was a long and arduous process, GOG was a real actual competitor for a long while and Humble Bundle was also bleeding them heavily. But they've consistently shown they're on the side of the customers and what you interpret as devotees are people showing goodwill towards being treated right.
>>557841404meds, now
>>557841404
I feel sick
>>557841430>But they've consistently shown they're on the side of the customersBut they're not. They refused to add refunds until a literal court order forced them to. They're abusing their monopolistic position to force price parity on their own store to make sure games aren't sold for cheaper than Steam elsewhere (without involving keys), they've shown that you don't own your copies of the game on Steam, and given that the functionality to remove games from libraries already exists with keys, it's only a matter of time before they start removing games that aren't key bought. Not to mention how they continuosly ignored their game development side to the point of it becoming a meme and how even their flagship multiplayer projects are suffering from cheater abundance.
>>557841791Then they added refunds for everyone, including the places where they aren't legally required to. Based Valve.
>>557841791Did any other storefront offer refund policies? They also implemented the aussie standard globally, which depending on the day you say is a good or bad thing depending on if you think being on the side of the consumer is the same as enabling refund fraud. The main reason for cheater abundance from what I understand is their steam sales and VAC isn't a kernel-level anticheat which makes it easier to bypass but is way less risky for the consumer.
>>557841791 (me)I should also add that the addition of Early Access to the store and the subsequent lack of accountability for developers for abandoning games in EA is also not being on the customer side. And no, adding a notice for a lack of updates is not good enough accountability.There's also the paid mods fiasco where gabencunt personally tried to push it and only backed down until the backlash got too severe. He tried to spin it as "encouraging better mods" but the reality is that he just simply wanted to monetize the Workshop and earn even MORE money through the hypothetical sales cut. And also the fact that they don't check Steam games for having malware, as some recent controversies showed. That's basically 0 basic quality control. I don't know in what universe having absolutely no kind of quality control is considered "pro-consumer".>>557842506>including the places where they aren't legally required toBecause they didn't want to potentially run into similar legal issues in other countries down the road. You're incredibly naïve.
>>557842582>They also implemented the aussie standard globally, which depending on the day you say is a good or bad thing depending on if you think being on the side of the consumer is the same as enabling refund fraud.I've already explained that they did this to basically cover their ass in other markets in advance to avoid potential other legal battles. But yes, refund fraud is also a problem. Nobody, not even in this thread, seems to care about the fact that Valve is not pro-consumer for the developer side of things.
>amateur gamedev general>look inside>retards getting baited into wasting yet another day arguing about steam
>>557842916I'm just marveling at it all as I work on dev stuffPerform for me, monkeys
>>557842594>lack of accountability for developers for abandoning games in EAIf a game hasn't received updates in 12months while in EA then the buyer may request a refund, if you've played hundreds of hours it's less likely it will be approved as you've clearly paid for and enjoyed a service for more than it's money's worth.>>557842816virtually every other store you have to threaten support with your nations consumer protection rights, this is both better and cheaper in the long run as other storefronts hope that customers will give up after being stonewalled by support
>>557842594So they're anticipating laws that don't exist yet to avoid even the slight possibility of hurting the rights of customers? I can't see that as anything but incredibly based.There are companies here that you HAVE to take into court to have even the rights GUARANTEED BY LAW to be respected and they still do it because they get more money from the people that can't be arsed to take it to court than they pay in fees from being sued. I know because my cousin used to work as a lawyer for one of them.
>>557842916My game's compiling
>>557843095>If a game hasn't received updates in 12months while in EA then the buyer may request a refundIs this really the case? Genuine question because this topic is barely ever brought up by anyone.>>557843142>So they're anticipating laws that don't exist yet to avoid even the slight possibility of hurting the rights of customers?No, they just want to avoid paying expensive court proceedings expenses and paying exorbitant fines, retarded steamie.
>Anonymous82 matches>Progress6 matches>Filtered comment4 matches>Hidden recursively43 matchesWow
I don’t know what it is
What kind of world are we living in? I know artists / creative guys sometimes have a day job working something else to pay the bills, but im fully convinced now even with a portfolio like this, dumping your soul for years practicing your craft for years doesn't guarantee you a position at all in the industry. The economy never favors entertainment shit at all and Anyone who manages to find success / work there is only supported by their parents since birth. Having rich parents mean jack shit nowadays. They rather send their money to someone else because their own children is le lazy and le worthless.
>>557843345AKA anticipating laws that don't exist yet to avoid even the slight possibility of hurting the rights of customers
>>557843385>>557842916Why the samefag?
>noooo you can't just use steam!>we have to retvrn to the golden age of PC gaming where you needed two dozen separate janky launchers on your desktop!
>claude code made coding basically a breeze if you already had coding experience >game design is now the bottleneckThis is why, despite AI, games are still slow as fuck to make you have iterate so much.
I am absolute dogshit at art and UI design. This is probably one of my biggest motivation killers. I want to release my tutorial by next month. Would any of you give a game which looks like this a chance?
>>557843876Idk
>>557843876>yet another generic earthbound-like
>>557843876No, but I have quite high standards when it comes to art, so there are a lot of games I wouldn't give a chance based on looks. That said, that is on the lower end of my "games I wouldn't give a chance" list so I recommend more training.
>>557843345>Is this really the case?Seems more nuanced than I first believed, generally up to their discretion but the normal window is extended beyond the regular 14 day. There were a lot of people trying to scam Project Zomboid so they made it more strict, they would clock over 100h in EA, then when the game dropped they had less than 2h played on the release version so they'd get refunded. But in a lot of cases Steam Support refunds it anyway, and while Valve can just put a negative balance on your account withholding pay until your revenue passes they do also bill developers who've abandoned their projects after removing it from the steam store.
>>557833726There are over 7000 demos in the next steam next fest, last time it was only 3000. Thoughts? Seems like a lot of fired AAA devs are going indie.
>>557843876As a player? Prolly not unless there is some cool hook.As a dev?I play anything.
>>557843876your biggest problem is that your UI uses one resolution and the rest of the game uses another
Improved the design of my game to add more variation and increase the average playtime but I'm too "scared" of implementing them.Does this happen in your game project?
If you know, you know. And if you don't, well...
>>557844295More games is good as long as quality doesn't decrease.
>>557844685No. What are you afraid of?
>>557844910its gonna be much, much harder to get views on our gamesits fucked up man
>>557845263I'm afraid it will be wasted dev time because I'm not confident about my game, but if I dont finish this game my gamedev skills will deteriorate.

I've got the urge to try and plan out my game again, I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to format/organise my game data.Essentially I'm trying to design a 3D first person sandbox RPG game with some procedural map generation using Godot as the engine but my main barrier to progress is always a lack of direction about how I should categorise and access data about things in the scene.I know its a lofty goal but I'm more interested in seeing how far I can get with my idea than actually pushing out a game so I'm aiming for something complex in scope.So far I've decided the best way is to create an "info" class where I can put all of the details about an object (an "object" is anything whether thats an NPC, item, building, furniture etc) and then that info class can be accessed by a scene "register" system that adds anything I put into the game scene into an appropriate list/array/dictionary contained within a separate object organiser/manager class.So essentially once I have that set up everything will be visible within organised groups to whatever needs to query it in the scene without messy searches for X child of Y component.I'm rambling but I just felt like typing some shit to organise my thoughts.

>>557856742>SATAN ONWhat did he mean by this?
I'm designing a roguelike, and I've been thinking on if I should include item rarity or not. Rarity as a concept is a little cliche especially for roguelikes, but it implicitly solves a few problems.1. Rarity communicates item quality. An orange card in Slay the Spire gets the player excited, and for good reason, since it signifies that this is a powerful item. It also communicates to the player that if they don't grab it right away, even if it doesn't fit in their build, they might never see it again. This also has the secondary benefit of getting the player hyped and excited about your game when a rare item appears.2. Rarity balances stronger items. This should be obvious, but if your most powerful items are the least likely to appear then the player is prevented from steamrolling the entire game.3. Rarity prevents "dead shops" in games with currency. If Balatro's shops were always expensive, rare jokers then the player would never be able to afford anything early game. Having the item pool skew towards less useful but cheaper stuff almost guarantees the player can do SOMETHING in a shop. This is also somewhat true for games without explicit currency as well, since the best items are usually pretty situational and useless in the wrong build.I've been trying to think of alternate systems that could accomplish these same things so elegantly without leaning on genre tropes. There are some examples I can think of from roguelike-adjacent games. Dominion, for example, shows you the entire item pool from the start, the bottleneck is just that you can't generate enough money per turn early on to buy the broken stuff right away. Super Auto Pets time gates the stronger pets so they only show up in the endgame.This post is getting super long. Just wanted to share my thoughts and see if anyone else had been thinking about this at all.

>>557838808> only time where indie devs ... can compete with AAA on their own turfThat was the 80s. Kids used to program games on their school computers that would outsell big box games.Today even the biggest indie games don't make as much money as TF2 does yearly and that's a game that makes so little money valve doesn't give a single shit about.
google is such dogshitanyone know what tricks goldeneye used with its camera sway to mitigate the n64's low framerate?
>>557862215GoldenEye 007 used pronounced camera sway and head bobbing during player movement to simulate realistic motion, which helped mask the N64's notoriously low and variable framerate (often dipping to 10-15 FPS in multiplayer) by creating constant visual distraction that made stuttering less noticeable.This technique, common in low-FPS first-person shooters of the era, worked alongside the system's built-in anti-aliasing blur to further soften jagged edges and motion, enhancing perceived smoothness despite the hardware limitations.If you need anything else just grok it!
A little experiment.Been thinking about using gamedev tools to generate a manga.
>>557864220Bad. Would be better to use 3D models.
>>557864220
( nill == string.find in network data ) == false statement.How do I unfuckulate this? Because it's obtuse as hell. If the string doesn't exist is not true, then exicute code. The problem is that if the string exists, it doesn't evaluate to true. Plz no bully.
>>5578645063D models take more time to make but they don't look 2D.
>>557864626That's why mangaka buy them instead of making them themselves.
>>557864556bro are you coding on a phone
>>557864909wagies like this setup
>>557865130I have this setup but I'm a NEET
>>557864909I'm in rehab and I don't have a computer. Id like to submit a game for the next agdg game jam. It's a multiplayer detective visual novel.I write out the blocks of code, break them in to smaller problems then use lua programming book during the day for help, sometimes in the evening I have my tablet.
>>557865296Image didn't post. I bought a Bluetooth keyboard but it keeps crashing so I have to type with my thumbs.
>>557864556You are doing the same as thisnil == string.find(...) will be false if found the stringyou then are testing the result for false, so it will result true if the string is foundYou are doing the same as:if string.find(data, txt) then-- this will only run if you found the txt in that datarun_codeendbut in a retarded way
>>557863279thank you for boiling water to tell me nothingi figured it out on my own anyway
>>557865652Hmmm, but "if string.find(data, txt)" doesn't return as true (I'm 95% sure I tested this before and that's why I went in such a long roundabout stupid way). It comes back as "18 14". I know what I'll do, I'll check: type(string.find(data, txt)) == string (which should evaluate to true) . Brb in a couple hours. I'll try what you suggested first just incase i botched it the first time.
>>557865835
I want to connect
>>557866196does "18 14" not evaluate to true in lua? i've never coded in lua but in virtually every other language, everything that isn't nil/null/empty object/empty string/0/false evaluates to true
>>557858449Couldn't making the shadows less dark, and possibly adding a second light source, help with that? Maybe by also making the lit area extra bright.Might be too much work or something at this point, though, I don't know.
I'm sorry, what?! Okay you made it, you have infinite funds, you could literally do anything and you chose to focus on... chocolate?Let's be very generous and say that besides Stardew you have like 5 big projects you can focus on in your lifetime. Why on earth would you make chocolate such a large part of your legacy?This is something I would expect if he was a like chocolate obsessed conosseur or he came from a family of chocolatiers or something. In that case sure, it's a big part of you so honor that and celebrate it but I literally watched an interview where he says he's not even big into chocolate!?Is it just me or is this guy a little cuckoo?
>>557867973he does seem to be extremely woman-brained
>>557867973>I literally watched an interview where he says he's not even big into chocolate!?because he's just a quirk chungusi figured that would be obvious to aspiring game developers who simply glance at stardew valley
>>557861431>Offer a cheap service>When you get enough marketshare raise the price dramatically (pay as you go pricing will easily run you $50 a day if you're serious about it)Who could have seen this coming?
>>557868785>$50 a dayThat's affordable to anyone who is serious about it.
>>557834912that guy was a retard, I remember seeing one of his devlogs and he needed to draw even basic ideas and use references for even basic shapes in order to make anything, AND he seemed confused by even simple ways to make gameplay more engaging, thinking "go here -> do this" over and over was all he needed to dohe should have been able to finish his game a year ago and be fine
>>557867973>Is it just me or is this guy a little cuckoo?>He doesn't know
It is chilling just how intensely ludokino the Game I am making is. The art style is a style rarely done in the gaming space. It's going to produce shock and awe in this general.
Good writing and memorable characters are important actually

>>557870015>Good writing and memorable characters are important actually
>>557870095Like, look at Undertale. It's gameplay isn't very deep, but it's characters are memorable and lovable. So people notice.
>>557868785like most of the AI cult, they forgot there needs to be a market before they can make money from this strategy
>>557870015Me and my Wife are the main characters of our lore.

>>557851221"stop procrastinating, you have impostor syndrome, most people are stupid and most successes come from untalented people who work hard"
>>557858951the most valuable talent as an artist isn't the quality of your work in gamedev, it's about how reliable you are and how flexible you are. Will you still be working for me in 5 years? Can you adapt to someone else's artstyle? Can we communicate without me having to spend so long on it that I could've just drawn it myself?
>>557851221
a game where you kill pedos
>>557871621we already have plenty of games where you kill nazis
>>557867973Eric has talked about how he went with an out of the box idea(and name) because he wants to give some pause to people who would play the stardew guy's next game no matter what, to give himself a bit of challenge in actually winning them over.https://youtu.be/ITr5soI7liU?t=377&si=AuGJ1EQmNEhFZjl8And I think he just likes doing things by feeling without overthinking on a rational level. A lot of good art is made that way.Also, as an example, the lord of the rings isn't actually about rings, the rings are merely a story device, if it had been lord of the bracelets or necklaces the spirit of the story would remain the same. In the same vein I don't think haunted chocolatier is actually about chocolate, it just gives him a something to work with where he can layer the actual sauce of the idea which I'm assuming has more to do with wonder and mystery and feeling than with sugary cacao
>>557871621but real life in Minecraft and it's state sanctioned

Much more readable. Wew, I was out to lunch.
I don't really get why people hate steam?If it's so bad, why don't us indie devs just unionize?We should be able to argue better deals like more internal marketing, better quality control to stop hindie devs from shitting everything up, tapering sales, bundle agreements, etc.More money could be made on both sides, genuinely.It's seriously a fucking horrible time for technology lately, and steam hardware has basically been fucked, so we're going to be in a market that prefers 5 dollar games (so 4.99 to 8.99) that are well optimized from older hardware while still having appeal and engagement.Valve is actually going to need to focus more on software instead of hardware, and it all starts with us devs that basically produce 50% of their value.I have like 2 thousand dollars worth of steam games, I still just play indie games on my steam deck and fromsoftware games. Like after seeing my stats I realized I should stop buying games and I did. I never even bought any of your games I only played them from keys (osur still fucking owes me a key).We need to form a Union with Union leaders who are real GMI devs like eric barone and jon blow, especially with their software experience and pull I think they would be literate enough to help valve a lot.

You know what the problem with programming is?Knowing what each command does but not being sure what commands you should use to reach a desired result.Like, an enum for a list of custom attacks wouldn't be my first guess but there it is.

>>557883776I mean I appreciate it but artists responded differently. You had industry vets blocking out their entire gallery with anti-AI images, moving to sites that respect them even at great cost to themselves, and calling out the industry for pushing it.We should be calling out valve every single day for allowing that filth on their store. >But the labelWhich becomes more and more lax every day. We went from no AI allowed period to any use of AI requiring a label to AI code and concept art allowed with no label. Only a matter of time before the label is removed entirely and I guarantee you there will be more pushback from gamers than gamedevs when that happens.

>>557889656something in the vein of an old atari vector graphics arcade game. someone will probably steal my idea and make something better in godot a fraction of the time it will take me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJv94FPRddA
>>557889987Interesting. Let me explain my architecture at least. I have three customizable scripts for enemies>EnemyMotor, which basically governs the logic behind the enemy's actions. IE if it's this far from me, it'll use this attack, or if it "Sees" me, then it'll send out THIS attack and so on.>EnemyCombat. The actual combat dynamic it has, such as a list of attack types and how they work, along with the enemy taking damage. Also handles playing animations>EnemyController, which is how it moves around, handles gravity, and so on with the physics. Also handles executing attacks from my Switch-Case.I'm not sure how I could work in a theoretical "Enemy Class" in the way you describe it, but it's a concept that could help if expressed differently given my architecture. About the best thing I could think of to do would be to create several different types of attack separated by enemy, such as "ChickenSlash" and "OgreSlash." This would make it easier to differentiate animations at least.>>557890497I like the idea
>>557890497delete this please

>>557886185If you use oop then make a skill object, give it a name and id, give it a list of other ids as unlock requirementsThen on your player add a list of unlocked skill ids and add any skills the player should have by default Write a function to check if a skill is unlockable by seeing if the player unlocked skill list contains the entire unlock requirements list You could also write a lock / unlock skill helper function that accepts a skill name or id and adds that skills id to the player’s id listElsewhere in your code you can flesh out skill effects by referencing the ids
i havent written a single line of code since last year im fucked if they raise prices on llms
>>557886185My best guess?>List of skills, such as a graph>Script designed to interface with said list of skills and turn them on or off when conditions are met

>>557900582c# is great you retarded mongoloid

>>557900517Yes. You don't actually know how to program until you learn a few more languages.
>>557900780But why do they call it C# when it falls so flat?
>>557900925admitting you didnt do anything is its own form of progressgood job anon
Many people have argued over this over the years, but I think we can pinpoint c# as the instant when the gaming industry went off the rails. Now when we moved away from assembly, I was a bit disappointed, but I got it. Computers improved, compilers improved, and we could accept a bit of hll here and there where performance wasn't crucial. But C#? A VM based, GCed, mother fucking OOP language? Are you kidding? That's when this industry went to shame. Right there.
I can't really post any progress because it looks the same, but now the underlying system has become much more easily modified and I can actually build a thing. Heh

>>557874865I also want to add that im also inbetween jobs at the moment and i can only commit 5-20 hours a week. My only goal is to make $300 a month doing WFH than the average job here having 60-70 hour weeks paying only just $100-$200 a month + 4 hours commute that leads to nowhere

Daily donutpost.Again started the day with some housework to get an easy win and some momentum going. Not too much though, so I don't feel I've done enough for the day.I'm dreading the time I'll have to actually market my game. It's contrary to my personality I guess. It's like saying "Hey, look at my shit, it's great! I'm proud of it and I want you to know about it because it's so great!" It's like people who clap for themselves, like everybody's clapping for someone and than the person they're clapping for is also clapping. Or people who get in great shape and then post shirtless photos, like "Look at me! I look great!" I mean it's not an illogical way to act and in case of marketing it's obviously necessary, but it just feels wrong to me. I'm more of an "aw shucks" kind of person, maybe to a crippling degree. Maybe it's be easier if my game actually looked great, but obviously that's not realistic for an artlet solo dev. I can't get myself to promote even my previous game which did okay, so it's not garbage.
>>557918858fattywho the fuck loves donuts this much manalso everyone hates marketing, even marketers
>>557918858you should only eat one donut a day, this is too many donuts
>>557918932>also everyone hates marketing, even marketersThat's comforting. I guess I just gotta push through it (like it's something difficult instead of posting a gameplay video).>>557918932>>557919032I could easily eat 3x as much before I stopped craving them. And a week ago I had what I thought was a health emergency and they did my blood work with cholesterol and hb1ac and everything's right in the middle of healthy ranges. Really surprised me, I thought my doctor was gonna tell me to take it down like two notches but my metabolism is telling me to stay the course.

>>557915962>“Recently, I’ve become aware of how little tolerance Japanese users tend to have,” he wrote. “For example, one of our released games had a bug. In response, overseas players wrote reviews like, ‘There was a bug. But it was fun, so 5 stars!,’ and would even email us videos of the bug. Meanwhile, a Japanese user who encountered the same bug wrote in their review, ‘There was a bug. What a waste of my time,’ and then also sent an email saying it had been a waste of their time.” Murakami went on to say that his attempt to apologize and troubleshoot with the user just earned him another rude email telling him to “figure it out himself.” animedevs... it's fucking over, our main customer base HATE US.

Absolute beginner, but I have a game idea and started to learn godot. How "out of my mind" am I for trying to make the following game?-managerial game about running an adventurers guild-interface being "fnaf like" where you switch between 5 screens (in a cross pattern) via wasd to reach specific functions (middle screen is the general info screen, the rest specialized)-main focus being forming, sending out, following up on and handling adventuring parties-make adventurer generation relatively simple but extensively interplaying (like an adventurer's attitude towards looting, other races/gender, etc clashing with another party members leading to a "crisis" that you have to handle)-maybe have a system for a region's geography, factions and history generation-potentially have the above system expand the game world from revealed starting regions as game progresses
>>557945614Idk
>>557945614Didn't read. Start with Pong.
>>557945614JUAjust use AI, literally ask AI the same question and youll see
>>557915962Good. Gamers need to become even more toxic and aggressive towards developers. Then only real G's like me who grew up in the fires of early /b/ can release games openly without recoiling from every mean comment.
>>557945614Pretty simple, if you were autistic you could do it with Twine.Its feasible but youll struggle starting out of course.

>>557946184I'm talking about any game in general. You could just show Bokube and AI could make it in 2 hours instead of 10 years.
>>557945805if I get a negative review, I will reply to it implying they are a retard. toxicity should go both ways
>>557946412nah. bokube has deep lore and 50 levels. AI prompting really struggles with level design, it has no empathy, no idea what the level is like to play. that said you could get AI to make you a tool to make levels with, but you still would have then make them..
>>557946451I used to reply. By the thousandth review I could really give a shit what any individual reviewer was saying.
>>557945614Depends 100% on how deep you are going with >-potentially have the above system expand the game world from revealed starting regions as game progressesAnd how complex your system is going to be. That being said, it sounds like a solid beginner game with a cool premise. (Limiting your game to only a couple of rooms/screens is very good way to contain your game's scope.) I was working on the opposite of what you were doing, you hire monsters to defend a dungeon in a "Papers Please" format based on their traits and the invading adventurer party. However I couldn't for the life of me get the gameplay loop to actually feel fun, so I pivoted to just making a turn-based tactics game where you actually control the monsters and set up traps to confront the adventurers.Anyway here's 2 games I know about similar in "spirit" to what you're saying, maybe they can serve as inspo. One is also a turn-based tactics game while the other is a deduction puzzle game.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2026000/Our_Adventurer_Guild/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4327530/_/

>>557947674IDK
>>557945614Take your big goal, and keep breaking it down in to smaller goals.S.M.A.R.T.Small, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely.
>>557947654thats a 14 month project at most
>>557946843Are you the developer of the game in that webm? I remember seeing it posted here before or something. Glad to see it again.
>>557948086almost 14k reviews in 9 dayshe probably made dozens of iterations of this game before landing on the final one
>>557946843>>557945868>>557947949Thanks.The idea would be that the pc inherits a communication orb and starts up a small adventurer guild, where the main scene would be a desk with the orb zappin in "notices" of events where you could advise them what to do (then the orb zaps out the notice). Ideally there would be a tard wrangling element (a spontaneous party could disregard your advice and do what they "want" for example)And the progression would be automation of tasks (like filtering incoming notices through a "trash wyvern" that would burn notes that you set), or an process fairy that would auto select choices for you in certain cases (like always retreating when a party finds a new monster/dungeon)I've still to properly familiarize myself with godot so for now i'm doing their step by step tutorials and noting down ideas in the meantime.
>>557946987maybe it's mobile?
>>557949197you can reply to mobile reviews?
I feel like absolute garbage for my lack of modeling or animating abilities
>>557946412I bet you couldn't do it in 3 months, with or without AI.
>>557948669Ok, so you are going to eat an elephant. Maybe start with a spoonful? Do you know python? If you know python you will have a better chance of thinking programmat... goodly! And you will be set for gdscript. Personally, I recommend finishing a free introduction to python course from cocecademy. Try and convert each example to GD script along the way. Add your own flair to familiarize yourself with the engine. Use and familiarize yourself with the Godot docs.
>>557948203Yeah I'm still around, I'm just stuck in the asset mines, forced to toil away at pixels in the dark months at a time away from sunlight, friends and family. I'm hoping to release by the end of the year. >>557948669I assume you get currency/points based on the correction of choices and the end-game is like Factorio where the ideal state is for the game to play itself while you sit by and watch and rack in resources? Do you have 2D or 3D art in mind for it? What was your inspiration anyway?

>>557950101kek, I am aware i'm biting off more than i can currently chew. I used to write very basic python scripts to randomize shit for my ttrpg's, so i think i should be able to understand the very basics (also went through the interactive gdscript thing in a day). Actually using it for a game i assume will be a fair bit more involved however.>>557950443I'm still thinking of how to implement the "road" to progression per say. Currently i'm thinking something simple (like money or a "reputation" system where succesful adventuring/questing earns you the points to upgrade.) Ultimately I think a player should be able to do that, but at the same time i kinda want it to be more "what do i want to do atm" kinda deal instead of automate literally everything.Since i can draw a little i'm thinking of doing 2d POV backgrounds and characters that have some basic animation (like the trashwyvern sleeping on your desk and blowing fire to immolate a note you set to ignore when it's getting zapped in by the orb). I'll focus those kind of animations mostly on the main desk though, it being the main playable area.For inspiration i guess a lot of things, but if i had to pick a main one it would b elunatic dawn series and how the npc interaction/barebones storyline/event system makes you focus more on the character's stories instead of the big picture.

>>557952554how many non-bot page views per wishlist is a more meaningful metric.
>>557952554Consider advertising more?
>>557952445I agree. I honestly didn't even know what a roguelike was until after I started hanging around here. Before finding /agdg/, the only "small indie games" I ever played were Terraria, SDV, Rimworld, Factorio, Hollow Knight, etc.

This may look like the same level I've posted a few days ago, but I've heavily reworked the game's logic (especially the monsters) to use a something resembling a turn system. I had to do this because I was tired of dealing with race conditions. Also, I've tweaked this level's design to actually be completable.
>>557953862Neat
>>557946843>>557950443I'd hire you on as an artist but I doubt I could afford you. And if I could afford you....I'd need to set up a list of assets I need asap before I end up paying you just to sit there and do nothing lel. Probably contract work would be easier to pull off.Even with my art skills improving, you are still leagues ahead of me. If only I was rich....
>>557954021NTA but all I can do is just work away at the systems of my game because I can't model shit
Watching streamers has made me realize there are some very, very stupid people playing gamesDo I make it retard accessible or keep it intellectual? Is there a way to do both?
>>557954171Farm clips by having an "easy mode is now selectable" pop up after players fuck up enough times or take too long. That way every single retarded streamer with millions of viewers will have an epic rage compilation of your game calling them retarded and you'll get free marketing that way.
>The Fortnite developer announced today that they've acquired Meshcapade, a German startup focusing on using AI technology to assist in animating digital 3D models using real-world camera footage. The acquisition is expected to aid in future Unreal Engine and Metahuman updates, but make no mistake - Epic Games is investigating how they can use generative AI across the entire company. >Epic Games is also in the process of integrating generative AI tools into the development of new cosmetics, a move which has upset some - if not most - of the games' developers. The extent of this integration is unknown. It is said that this will enable Epic to deliver more Outfits and collaborations to players than we've seen in previous years - an excuse that is unlikely to satisfy the growing crowd of players who feel the game is already adding too many.It is very likely that when Epic integrates AI art tools into Unreal valve will remove the AI label
>>557954171You can market it as a thinky game, like bluprints or whatever.

Good art for a 1980 game

If your game has a moral, what do you want it to be?If I could fucking do this shit properly? "Your life actually does matter"
>>557954021What's your game or twitter? Maybe when I release my game and it flops, I'll contact you for work in exchange for a pack of ramen a day.
>>557956424Here's the moral I want to include
here we go
>>557950443nice to see you're alivekeep on trucking
>>557957225Gud
>>557952350if you're looking for a good intro game for learning godot beyond gdscript, here's an 8 hr game building tutorial I used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m6UXCtw2PgI personally find these kinds of tutorials better than the smaller games, because these ones interact with largely all the important aspects of making something, so nothing really feels out of context.
we did it reddit, we are having a multiplayer gameit's all now client to server synced that means you can cheat but fuck it I will just implement vote kick lol
After working with Unity for a month, I'm starting to understand people who choose to lighter or even a custom engine over it. There is just so much overhead and underwater stones to worry about.
>>557957679just use older unity version like a real chad?
>>557957679Tell me about it. It sucks for custom shit because it already has these pre-set things
>>557956424well, 'the moral' of the story is usually only apt for short ones, ideally a game would have enough to chew on that you can gleam several morals or ideas from itfor me it'll probably be a basic "ignore the doubters, you can reach greater heights" type thing.
>>557957848Neat
>>557953862At 0:10, I accidentally move as the priest instead of the warrior, undo my action, and do it again. If you look closely, you'll notice that the second time, the priest doesn't turn east when moving. I just fixed the bug that caused that.
>>557954171retards enjoy intellectual games all the time, but they miss a lot of the nuanceso either way make sure your game is accessible, as far as ease of learning the controls and such

>>557957679after working with unity for 15 years, I understand all too well.
Honestly, if I could model and animate I could probably have something out in like a month or two. It deeply frustrates me how bad I am at modeling environments
>>557956424Work can be soulless but with the right coworkers it can still be fun and fulfilling.

Let's say you got the AI capabilities we have today, but in 2015 when no one else had LLMs and genAI. How would you use them?
