I'm on my way up. Making big strides.
>create wrapper called "full game" that has timescale and universal controls like pause and debug>under it, create wrapper called "toolbox" that has folders for all models, textures, animations, music, sound effects, state machines, maps, stats, controllers, inputs, save data, and logic>under it, create wrapper called "levels" that has all scenes where the above assets are placed together to create the individual levels, scenes, cutscenes, menus, etcIs there any reason to do it differently than this? Organizing my dev work has always been the hardest part for me because it makes me confused how I should program what and where
I still hate 3D animation. Thank God these fuckers have no legs.
>>558206587IDK how to do edge loops
>>558206595>fuckerswho do they fuck kanna? TELL ME KANNA
>>558206595Hey, can I ask you something? How many loops should you use to create a knee or elbow?
>dream game>game you're working on now
>>558206740Same thing. The "Dream" part of my game more lies in atmosphere and art than any gameplay parts
>>558206628you literally just make sure there's a loop of edgesdon't make weird connections that cut off random angles
>>558206982When you say weird connections, what are you talking about?I feel like my joints are fucky
>>558206982>>558207016
>>558206683They just have a torso, there's nothing waist down so they couldn't fuck anything even if they wanted to.>>558206712This is how my model's knees and elbows look.
art progress
>>558207163Oh, so Ngons.
>>558206740>basically DMC but in 2D>generic fantasy slop
>>558207212OHHHHH, THAT. Yeah, I know about that. I have a problem tho: IDK how to mirror a knife tool or vertex connect (Ctrl+J)
art progress but snow_2
>>558207368You know, that's actually pretty doable right? Look at Soul Quest.
>>558207450>>558207236...Have you EVER posted a gameplay webm?
I bet I could win the next Demo Day, if anyone actually played my demo.
you guys doodle concept art for your games from time to time?
>>558207956Yeahhhhhh? I'm not a very good artist tho
>>558208005fair enough
>>558208069I guess I try to combine my two biggest heebie jeebies when it comes to monsters, at least.>Veins like roots or really just any sort of sudden tumorous growth>Skinned flesh
>>558208069Now make her pregnant
>>558207579All the time? None of it ever looks very good.
>>558208174SOVL
>>558208174i love it>>558208179if i make it big, there'd be a shit ton of rule34concept is a short curse of darkness clone with hot girls and a campy monster mash look
>>558207381You can't mirror the Knife tool unless you are using a Mirror modifier. Just use the Loop Cut tool to make uniform loops and the Knife tool to connect them.
>>558208430Yeah, I thought as much
>>558207956I can only 3D model so all of my concept art is inside my head.
day 1 of porting my game to lovrrewrote a bunch of functions but I still didnt get it how to draw uislopped all day
>>558207956yeah. it's my main motivation
>>558208430>>558208502you can technically mirror individual cuts by going through and using an alternative mirror option like the universal one that applies changes to the model instead of mirroring the model itself but it's normally best to completely ignore most options in blender until you get used to it enough to know when to use it and when not to
>>558183601high fantasy in a post apocalyptic wasteland that battles a cyberpunk future and culminates in sci-fi spaceships and aliens
oh yeah i made a seperate fluxer server in case anybody doesn't want to use discord anymore after the changes happening in march. https://fluxer.gg/EEQPN00i
>>558209707sci-fi spaceships and aliens that battled a cyberpunk future that culminated in a post apocalyptic wasteland that resembles high fantasy
>>558209537Yeah, that makes sense
battle royale, but everyone is driving a car, like twisted metal. Also there's a vampire-survivors-like system for fusing upgrades into more powerful, combined versions. If you're defeated by another player, they take some of your upgrades. You only drop out of the match once you have no more upgrades to lose.
>>558208174To this day, I wonder "Why the hell does this image always look like a previous version whenever I upload it?"
>>558206595can't believe kanna made a better soul reaver reference than fygoon
Landlord wants me out and I'm out of money. I don't know if I can find any money for my game either. It's a casual shoot the ball type of mobile game. I'm seriously considering ending it. I have no "family&friends" I distanced myself from everyone and I fucked up very badly in life.
>>558210517Fug
>>558210517Many such cases. Don't forget to do a flip, loser.
>>558210517Get a mental disability diagnosis and they can’t evict youThat includes autismGodspeed anon
is your game a shower or a grower
>>558210517get a job you fucking idiot
>>558210637Dude
>>558210853You're right. Please livestream it when you an hero, it's been some time since the last one.
>>558210924NTA but what is wrong with you?
>>558210517being homeless is fun though. don't knock it til you try it.
>>558210517I really hope you are joking because that sounds depressing.
>>558210853>>558210963If you wanted some dumb faggots to give you nice but ultimately fruitless platitudes, fuck off to reddit or some shit. It's that exact weakness that got you into this predicament in the first place. I'm sorry that you had to find out the hard way that you are in fact not the main character and the world does not in fact revolve around you.
>>558210517live stream it
>>558211296>you are in fact not the main character and the world does not in fact revolve around you.proof?
>>558210517i know popular guys who could spread the word about your game, but it's late rn so zzzzzzzz....
>>558211296Placebo effect is real actually, something 99% of this site refuses to take into account.Turns out giving someone motivation to live can help them better themselves.
>>558211396The proof is in the pudding. You wouldn't be such a loser and failure otherwise.>>558211491Nah. I refuse to reinforce bad behaviors.
>>558211491reverse psychology. if a bunch of retards on 4chan tell you to kill yourself, you can live to spite them
Added some kinda eye enemy that uses magic to create its wings and shoot magic prototype bullets at the player. I added up and down movement to the camera and made it closer to the character so that diablo 4 faggot western game lover kills himself that im going down the demon souls/japanese ARPG style instead.
>>558211632he wont do shit anyways
>>558211696How did you animate these?
>>558211632so that's why kanna has kept going for so long
>>558211778>so that's why kanna has kept going for so long>anonymous lolcows on the internet tell me to kms>*surprised pikachu* he didnt kill himself
>>558211774Maya holy shit these new 4chan captchas are fucking stupid.
>>558211703
>>558206587what a retard lmao
>>558211892I hate that I can't animate like this
>>558212081please leave then
>>558211903I watched Bocchi, I hope we get season 2 soon. That black Yamaha H/P90 Pacifica at the end was sex
>>558207956>>558208069nice
>>558210517
>>558212183good wholesome anime ruined by yuri troons self inserting
>>558212183
...I can't do this all alone. I need a fucking animator or modeler, preferably both.
>>558212654A good designer/engineer can make compromises within constraints that still deliver, before you start investing in other people ask if you yourself is worth investing time in
>>558212183I still haven't watched the show, every time I try it cringes me out
>>558212757I don't care if this works on a technical level, my stop motion expertise does not translate to this.This might be my first model, but that's no excuse for it being as bad as it is.
>>558212396>>558210843I have zero experience. I'm 39. And have crippling social anxiety. Was forced to have a degree in which I never intended to work ever. Making games was my only way of handling my situation. I haven't properly slept or ate for the last two days since I got the message and got weird diarrhea from the stress.
>>558212886There's nothing cringe about trying your best and being honest about your shortcomings. Something this general could learn a thing or two about
>>558213049What degree?
>>558210517just be yourself bro
>>558213091materials science&engineering
>>558213260...How advanced?
>>558212478>Bocchi>good animeYou people will call any slop good if it has a cute girl in it.
>>558212478IDK what it's even about
>>558213293I don't know if it's good Kurisu. I did watch Steins;Gate
>>558213085this gif is really appealing
>>558212998chu cang doo eet mang
>>558212998>, my stop motion expertise does not translate to this.It should translate into animating key frames and lighting.>I tried something once and it was terrible that means I have no talent and I'm never gonna make itIt's good that you can be honest with yourself and say when something is terrible, that means you know when something is good. If it wasn't hard to do you wouldn't have to learn it, and it wouldn't have value, that's just basic economics. You're the designer here and can set the scope, do you put the time into improving or do you pivot into something you can do?
Added smooth player camera follow.Saving/loading the world now - tile state, player position, camera rotation and position.Hoe and Watering Can added.A single crop type added to have something to plant.
>>558213519What I mean is that while my ability to POSE a character is functional, I have no fucking clue how to animate in Blender.I have some animation experience, but IDK how the hell Blender animation works at all.
>>558213601Learning new tools only takes a day or two, follow a blender tutorial on Youtube
>>558213573Nice. Always had a soft spot for that effect
Roblox is the future of gaming.
>>558213682Fair.I was able to figure out how to rig up an armature in less than a day, how hard can getting a simple idle animation out be?
>>558213760I fucking wish. Take me back to simulations and tycoons, this "Fish for Brainrots" shit is getting out of hand.
>>558213293>reddit;gate faggotTypical.
>>558213856Roblox just seems like War3 customs of the zoomer generation
>>558213973Warcraft 3?
>>558214020yeah
this is what I have achieved in the last few days.please recognise the talent involved in the painting that my girlfriend did and I added to a pictureframe within my game engine. She motivates me and says I am talented and it makes me feel good.
Fatfuckpost incoming, hit the deck!I went to a new doctor for a checkup yesterday and she was a fucking zoomer. She asked about my diet and I may have told her a few inaccuracies.What's worse is I started slipping with my work again. Yesterday I again did less than I was supposed to, so now I owe my game 15 hours. That's how it goes, first you give an inch and soon it all spirals out of control. This is far worse for my game than any technical blunder. Today I start paying back what I owe. Mark my words, tomorrow I'll owe less than 15 hours, and all of you get to be my unwilling accountability buddies.
>>558214107I like it. What kinda game is this?
>>558214107nice, this is a friendslop game right? solid choice over characters overall
>>558213943What's wrong with SG?
>>558212998Just keep going, you will get the hang of it sooner than later with practice. Unless you are retarded.
>>558214172Eating pastries and diluted coffee for breakfast every day must get dull after a while
>>558214235>>558214183Nah its a hotline miami type game just go through the level and kill everything get into the elevator and go to the next floor to kill more stuff. conceptually its pretty simple really and the gameplay probably wont even be that good. I just wanted to make a game in my own game engine like as a personal achievement.
>>558214378It's very creative, if you must know. Feels like it occupies this specific branch of surrealism. >>558214325You'd be surprised
>>558214378that's cool
>>558214305I don't care to get into the plot stuff but the characters are dogshit, easily worse than bocchi's cast.
>>558214305Reddit co-opted the fandom, probably spawned Rick and Morty as well. They don't understand the appeal of being a schizo taming a tsundere, having a neckbeard bestbro, being hunted by a loli who's secretly a fed and feminizing a guy into becoming the perfect Yamato Nadeshiko and that the alternate reality/time travel shit is just a vehicle for this.
>>558214949thanks for the gamedev tips im learning a lot
I'm a steamie, I make slop!I don't care if all my games will flop!Gabencunt took all my pay,And I don't care, that's the steamie way!
>>558215014Right, here's an unironic gamedev tip: have whatever mechanisms for accountability. It's really easy to slack off when you're answerable only to yourself.
>>558214305The anime/VN have an awful fanbase.
4 days left until kino...

>>558213497I don’t get it
>>558206090:: Heralds Of Heroism ::dev:: Brannotools:: Godotlink:: https://brannotaylor.itch.io/heralds-of-heroism-an-incremental-rpgprogress:: Added 13 new skills to the Warrior tree
>>558210517Ugh stop being a coward and go talk to your family. Doesn't matter how humiliating it is, your ego too big to go back to them? Well cut it out and go.As for being evicted I've read it's not as simple as that if you refuse but idk and may depend where you live. Don't kill yourself anon. Put gamedev on hold, go back to your family, and get a job. It may suck but be honest is your game gmi? Now go back to your family.
>>558213049if you think looking for a job and working would be mentally taxing and uncomfortable, wait till you experience homelessness. get any job you can, sort out your housing situation and then look for a job that suits you. my ideal job as a socially anxious broke gamedev would be night watchman, but where I live they mostly hire retired cops for that.
>>558175790Getting stuck and no idea what to work on next Kanna? Perhaps getting stuck to where all the next stuff feels too hard and you just want easier stuff to work on?>>558178515I wish I had aggy daggy fren's to play games with>>558213293I dont even watch Bocchi, maybe like a clip or few on youtube but I'm turned off by yur* stuff and anyways Mob Psycho was at least a shy boy with psychic powers, that was really entertaining. Bocchi just isn't gonna reel me in to watch. I did watch Stein's Gate though. I like it, even has what seems to be an 8ch*n reference. Some redd*t losers claim its redd*t even with the obvious imageboard style lel. Nah those losers are trying to change history and it pisses me off
>>558210517Y'all niggas will do anything but get a fucking job
>>558215121ts doesn't rhyme
Progress:Figured out the basic structure of my game's plot.The game is getting bigger in scope. I think it will take 6 months by now.
>>558216258can't see shit
Oh god I’ve been at this since june
>>558214172Heh my doctor is a cute hag about my age, looked her up and she was far more beautiful when she was ~20. She got chubby, I could see the tops of her boobs, they looked really nice and soft.Btw you should stop being so hard on yourself with the gamedev quota. If it starts getting too high you might just start avoiding working on the game. Maybe give yourself some off days rather than every day being a gamedev day. I mean if you're doing 5 hours every day why not take a day or two off from working on it? Better than getting to point of owed time getting too big and you just outright stop devving much if at all for days just from the mental burden of knowing how much time you need to make up.

>>558217267>i am disabled (most people are) so i applied for social security income and was approved. for about 6 years i lived on around $9,000 USD a yearoh look, another "disabled" neetdev. I only respect jobbydevs
>>558213293its a heartwarming story about an autismo with social anxiety making friends and playing music, along with some humorit is a good showthen AGP troon pedo freaks came along and went OHOHO IS THAT A LITTLE ANIME GIRL? THAT IS LITERALLY METHIS SHOW IS ACTUALLY ABOUT LITTLE GIRLS ALL BEING LESBIAN AND HAVING YURI SEX
>>558217267we are so fucking back
>>558216853I'm kinda considering pivoting my games "plot" from the original idea to a new idea. A lot of the mechanics stay the same but new gameplay is added on top for more content but I believe this could very easily increase development time by an additonal 6 to 12 months on a game where the original idea would take maybe 12 months max.Also the idea should have much better success odds but idk if I should go through with this. I've been at gamedev for a long time, I'm tired of it.
I am now very depressed
>>558217481bocchi has been posted in this thread more than any progress, at this point its more of a bocchi thread than a gamedev threadso you are the one whos offtopic
>>558217392suffering builds character action games
Fuck it, we ball
>>558217267>https://ivysly.com/blog/how-to-make-a-successful-indie-gamehis games are so similar to snrkxdev, yet he thinks so differently.at least he acknowledges luck. refreshing."fuck you, got mine"
if u make it im not gonna read ur gayblogeither keep posting here or u dont exist anymore in my eyes
>>558217085>Btw you should stop being so hard on yourself with the gamedev quota.I have to work like that because I otherwise I'll work less than 2 hours a day, which was my average from July to December last year. And even that was a struggle and I had to force myself to work.I'm too experienced to have much faith in my game and I know how much drudgery I'll have to endure before I release it, so discipline is the only tool I have to keep going and I don't have some objective metric to adhere to, I'll just start slipping.
>>558218142luck is a gigantic factor but marketing competency absolutely increases your revenue floorguys like spiderweb software wouldn't be able to make a living from this industry if they didn't learn how to reliably produce profitable games in relation to their cost of operationluck is real but if you develop your business skills well enough you can absolutely survive in this industry
Thoughts on rpg maker?
>>558218364auradev makes 10k a month from making a basic rpg maker game.
musous are pretty cool
auradev makes 10k a month making art for dudes to jerk off to
>>558218418more like 4-5k after patreon cut and german taxes
>>558218301he's not just talking about luck in-industry"i hear some countries just toss you 20 grand if you say you are an artist". this is luck too.even his 9 grand a year is luck, even tho he might not realize it.social security in my country is 1390usd/year. minimum wage is 3700usd/year.that is luck. or lack of it.were all gonna make it, tho.
>>558218608that's still higher than my software engineering salary after tax
>>558218142>at least he acknowledges luck. refreshing.I guess he'd know better than a bunch of nodevs here
>>558218632that's a good point, luck applies to more than just market performancesome people struggle much harder than others to be able to create games, i see what you're saying
>>558218602I wish I had this

Has anyone ever made all-in-one customizable trivia game?
Bro just described Kahoot
>>558219185This >>558219245
>>558219245Looks lame, isn't even filmed in front of live studio audience.I was thinking more of you being able to choose any type of trivia TV show and do that, maybe even hop from one to another from round to round.
all you're ideas suck. you need a true ideasguy. you need me.
>>558216258i like the gem get soundanyway, skills are pretty boring? have you played path of achra? if not... hop to it
