Are you guys making games or are you making art?https://youtu.be/ucRulNQsuYQ?si=eCx2pEwMCpE5WotF
>>558810781Wow, so she'll get 10k wishlists after 10 yearsamazing
>>558810470Have you heard the story about a shooter who always hit every duck he shot at?One day one of his buddies said to him, “you’re such an amazing shot. when you shoot, do you use your left eye or your right?”The shooter thought about it for a long while before saying “I don’t know”
>>558810030Not how that works. You don’t “use up” your strength stat because you got in a fight one time
>>558809603>IT'S JUST LUCK BRO!!No. The game has very satisfying presentation and promises a very unique and interesting gameplay mechanic. It also has online PvP.
>>558810960>>558811278the guy told you it was luck but you so desperately want to believe your fate is in your hands

>>558815425holy fuck where'd you get that jetback!
>>558810012>>558810250This webm has been posted here so many times that I can recite the lore by heart.She was barely even involved with the creation of the game. There is/was a website that listed the entire development team on it (all Asian btw). Everyone else has actual jobs like programming/art/etc. except for her. Her role was some bullshit like "team coordinator" and marketing, ie. making tiktoks. Yes, team coordinator on a free indie game that one amateur dev probably could have made in less than a year.If you've ever worked a white collar American you'll have encountered this type of person. Everything they do is a resume builder or an opportunity to jerk themselves off on LinkedIn. That's all this game is to her, it's merely a vehicle to show future employers that she can handle a leadership position, plus it has the added benefit of showcasing some sappy story about her ethnic background.
All of this could've been avoided if you just gave me my fan art...
>>558812943please be my gf
>>558815269That’s so hot.
>>558815425why haven't you made a good game?
>>558813481I like it.How did you animate it?

>>558818424NPDs are physically incapable of empathy, and thus for them, how any interaction with other humans ends up turning out is complete up to luck.
>>558818526Hmmmm. If you want to keep it randomized, use a coinflip.I have this enemy script, and maybe you could draw a few concepts from that?
>>558818284its 100% procedural
>>558818438I'm to the point where I don't even blame Gaben anymore. Gamers deserve to be exploited. Did you see them all crawling out of the woodworks to defend CS2's lootboxes the other day?

>>558811278If the game 10 reviews you would say that obviously it's a failure just look at it.
>>558819908Whenever you're talking with an anon here and you get this gut feeling that they have some kind of mental illness, that mental illness is most likely narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).

I have an idea for a 4X anime style game similar to civilization. Anyone know if there is an easy game engine that can help out a beginner? It will be a very simple 4X anime style game where anime girls expand and conquer.

>>558821161I don’t really want money from gamedev, I just want fans
>>558818956I have a pretty solid idea already, but I'm happy to hear yours. I've had the concept for this guy in a design doc for a while so implementing him in the game will take maybe 1-3hours while drawing everything necessary will take 15-20.
>>558821161Let's be real. The gabencunt loser really just want to get to $1k revenue and get his $100 back at least (won't happen).>>558821470The attention economy is not disjoint from the monetary economy. Any game worth playing is worth pay for.
>>558821640Well, for me it is. I’d gladly give all profits away
>>558810334The steamie dream: every flop is a temporarily embarrassed hit
>>558821594Keep the player guessing
>>558821712>for me it isSelf-centered NPD thinking = NGMI. You'll never have fans for the same reason you don't have any friends: because you have a shitty insufferable personality, and your personality will inevitably rub off on your game (your game doesn't even exist outside of your mind).
>>558821982What’s so wrong with not really caring about money?
audio dev for whistleshttps://vocaroo.com/16Cft8YcJKm4
Huh?
>>558822084Your problem is that you don't care about markets. You are not the center of the universe. You are not the main character. The market will not be bent by your delusions.
Wow so much progress for once. A shame I'm taking a shit so I can't post progress but mark my words my digital adaptation of hit board game Inis is going very well.
>>558821640seething pedo nodev
>>558821856I'm thinking of a variant that only goes behind, which will be more manageable when there are other enemies on screen. Then another that can go behind, front and also above.
>>558822365Why should I care about the market?I don’t want money and would gladly give the game away for free because my aim isn’t to make money but rather to connect with other people who actually like things that I like
>>558822364Just like make store simulators.
>>558822498Try a node?
>>558822504The market dictates what games people play, and it's not going to be your game. You couldn't even pay to get people to play your game (it doesn't even exist anyways).
>>558822884What makes you say that? What would I need to make to get “Market” attention, then?
everytime i learn something new I feel joy. game dev is the only area where you can learn and implement every aspect of art. it is great to be a gamedev
>>558823072Make a game that other people are already asking for. Make a game that other people want to play.>but i don't care about other peopleThat's call narcissism. It's a mental illness and it's why you're not going to make it.
>>558823357But I do care about other people and want to make something they like.I just don’t really want any money because it’s secondary to my goals of making people happy with something I did

>>558823601Obviously most artists aren't against AI for real moral reasons they just don't want to be replaced by it. Its only natural to look out for yourself but excusing some uses of gen AI while crying about other uses of gen AI exposes those people as blatant hypocrites and everyone can see that. Either all gen AI is bad or none of it is. Either its okay to eat fruit from the poisoned tree or its not. There is no in between.
>>558824121Yes. Gaming is actually a free market. If the free market decides your game is worth paying for, you will get sales
>>558824316Honestly I’m against it because it’s not art and thus has no value
>>558824316Most artists hate ai music and most musicians hate ai art.
>>558823960GO + JUAN
>>558824389The “Free Market” isn’t a fucking sentient entity, it’s a bunch of people.If PEOPLE think it’s worth playing, then they’ll play it
>>558824316>There is no in betweensome forms of ai are clearly more harmful than others so thats not true anonyou can enjoy ai generated furry porn whilst at the same time advocating against ai drone swarms learning how to pop every humanoid head within 50 miles
>>558822364Cute elf.
>>558824172No one will be happy playing low-quality low-skill garbage that they didn't ask for.
>>558824759Drone swarms wouldn't be good if they were human powered either. Its the drone swarm part that's bad not the AI.
>>558823601>>558824316It's the usual "you can't use gen AI to make art, but it's perfectly fine for me to use gen AI for programming"
The most fun I've ever had as a developer, professionally or not, was when I worked with anons on 4chan to just build a game one piece at a time. Unfortunately it was online multiplayer and some schizo get rambling about "ip farming" and got too dangerously close to doxing me. To this day it makes me happily nostalgic and a little bit sad.Let people play your stuff early and often, guys, it's always worth it
>>558823357>That's call narcissism.No it's not but disingenuously framing arguments to pidgeonhole people for validation or to put other people down is
>>558824759>>558825015I am pro drone swarm and anti furry porn.
>>558825275I remember this, it was really fun. Glad you're doing okay
>>558825294NPDs are the worst posters plaguing this thread and deserve to be put down (in minecraft).

>>558825015which is why anthropic told the pentagon to fuck off
>>558824316>>558823601The irony is those same people will cry about AI's impact on the environment and the impact on gaming (memory shortage) but you can generate AI art on a literal toaster meanwhile the kind of AI they use is what is causing those issues.
>>558825396Thanks man, shame we're both still here haha. Hope you suggested something that made it in the game
>>558822364This guy rly enjoyed Kizu.
>>558825684No... AI art is causing those problems...
>>558824861Very generic
>>558824952What do you think they're asking for?You don't even know what I'm doing!
>>558825175It's mainly because they're fundamentally separate
>>558827246Yeah AI code is actually dangerous, AI art just looks bad.
>>558827378And soulless
>>558827246They're really not lol
I really need help exporting my shit as an FBX, because all the animations aren't exporting and IDK why.
>>558826919Aren't you the retard making that ugly ass action combat thing? They're certainly not asking for that.
Do you ever carefully hand craft a new asset for ur game and then you put it in the game and look at it next to other things in the game and you're like "Oh... that doesnt match with all the other stuff in the game and looks out of place... i just wasted all this time on something i cant use..." and then you get sad.
>>558827921No. I only create new assets on top of screenshots of existing gameplay.
>>558827904What are they asking for, then?
>>558827921No, I take a screen shot of where it's supposed to go. Why would I put effort into making something completely naked.
>>558823774>it doesn't work
>>558827904>Aren't you the retard making that ugly ass action combat thing?Fygoon? Who are you vague posting
thoughts on showing buffs/debuffs as labels like this under the character's health? (multiple num indicates num of turns its got left)i think it would be hard to reach a point where you have more than 4 buffs/debuffs in a single battle, but i like the idea of it covering a bit of real estateignore the mixels, just prototyping at the moment
>>558827921imma keep it real with you my g, if you don't enjoy the process of asset creation and adding cool stuff to your game then this hobby definitely isn't for you. Why do something if you don't love it?
>>558828689I think it's fun. Reminds me of hotline miami.
>>558828532He's talking about me.
>>558828689Looks fine to me.
>>558828689I would prefer words over having to learn a whole dictionary of tiny symbols that each correspond to a different status effectThe only issue with using words is localization, if you even care about that
>>558828689if you can't make icons good enough to easily know the effect, this is a fine compromise
>>558818526how long did it take for you to learn art?did you draw a lot as a kid?
>>558828863No one here has finished a game anywhere close to the scale of success that it needs localization besides Eric
>/agdg/ github
>>558828863>>558828923yeah i just dont think its possible to make good icons for my buff/debuff names (like how the fuck do you represent off balance in a small icon)
>>558829058A stick guy about to fall over?
>>558828963va11halla infamously lost a lot of money due to lack of localizationand then botched a hardcoded jp loc to bleed less money
>>558828510Youtube didn't like it? How about this?https://soundcloud.com/egaoya/say-a-prayer-feat-kokorisa
>>558828532This anon's >>558828813 game is currently just some Unity capsules and a "combo system", and he's been struggling with modeling and animation for the last few weeks. Honestly, he's probably better off going the Fygoon route and making some balloon animals so that he doesn't have to deal with proper topology and mesh deformation.
>spicy latina cousin arrives after her first baby with love handlesOh no no no, bros, i thought it was just a Facebook meme.
>>558828963world of horror
>>558829327Don't put my combo system in quotation marks, it actually fucking works
>>558828963Localization is one of the easiest lowest hanging fruits any serious developer should be going for. AI MTL is good enough for most games.
>>558829527
hi guisWhat's a fairly simple game I could make in Gamemaker as a (mostly) total beginner that other people might actually want to play? ie. not pong, asteroids, etc. I've already done those for practice. I want something I can work on for a few months and actually show off to my friends.I'm not usually this creatively bankrupt but now that I'm staring at a fresh project file all of my ideas have suddenly left my head.
>>558830020https://20_games_challenge.gitlab.io/challenge/
>>558829327If you must know, I've animated the player character's entire moveset.
>>558830219I can already see the lines of people waiting to experience a retard amateur's first attempt at animation.
>>558830491You wanna hear something funny about retards
>>558830849Let's hear it.

>>558830020TIPPY SEX
>>558830914When I was a boy, I was always forced to go to "Social groups" with a bunch of kids who were mentally disabled even though I was much happier and fit in much better talking with kids who were not."He has slight high-functioning autism, let's just jam him in a group that includes a guy with Angelman's syndrome." I am not exaggerating, that actually happened.Every legitimate friendship I've had in my life has always been with someone who was mentally functional and intelligent, and here they are expecting me to make friends with literal drooling morons. This is why I do not trust education systems. They literally stunted my social development by not letting me interact with people who weren't idiots.
how do i get good at character design?
>>558831410and now youre here

>>558830123This is helpful for basic ideas, thanks.>>558830990Not a bad idea. Isn't that game basically just a VN? I guess it shows how even really rudimentary games can be carried by the characters/art, kinda like what Helltaker did.
pls rate my new protaganist his name is squatto, he tries his best
>>558831520I was with people who could not function without an aide.That's how bad it was. It deeply traumatized me to the idea of talking to anyone.
>>558831410I mean, you can see why, right? Are you really all that surprised when I consistently manage to pick you out from among the over 100 weekly unique anonymous posters to this thread and make fun of your learning disability?

>>558807457For some reason my character controllers always end up really drifty when I do a Eular's method velocity adding and friction thing.Is there something else I should be doing? Right now it's a 2d top-down shooter
>>558831880Why do you feel the need to try and demotivate me from trying to do the one thing that actually makes me feel happy?
>>558831410>>558831763That's nuts broYou'd have been better off if you had not gotten diagnosed at all and was just a slightly weird normieThat's one thing that has always bothered me about kids getting an autism diagnosis early, they're handled with kid gloves and treated differently. Understandable for the drooling headbanging retard types, but people like you should just be held to normal standards and treated normally.
>>558829058yeah this is literally the first thing that came to my mind too>>558829089
>>558832126The things that makes you happy in the moment are cope and delusion.The things that makes you happy in the long run are discipline, effort, and suffering in the moment.
>>558832126Just ignore the local tards, they love to project

>>558832424Nah. I have a pathological inability to value my own opinion.>>558832563Shit this is really good as well!
>>558832480More like: make sure your dreams are realistic and not just delusion. If your dream really was to make video games, why are you just starting now and not over 10 years ago?
>>558832126Google "crabs in a bucket". They're crabs trying to prevent you from leaving them behind.

>>558832984IDK but his game could be REALLY comfy if he adds like, towns you can do Animal Crossing shit in.God that would be nice.>>558833037I never said I was studying Blender during those 10 years. This is literally my third model. Ever.I know the results don't look like much but my code is actually a bit complicated
>>558828689The reason why we use icon+color is so you can tell at first glance what are effects in you. I would slightly color text depending on effect if you don't want to draw icons or keep icons and text. Only exception I would see is if you have like 4 effects in whole game.
>>558833216This. Associating different effects with immediate noticeable visible things is good design
>>558833190Amateurs programmers admire complexity. Expert programmers admire simplicity.
>>558824316>Obviously most artists aren't against AI for real moral reasons they just don't want to be replaced by it.Kill yourself.
i wish i had a gamedev buddy. I mean, I do have a gamedev buddy but he never wants to do anything with me yet just doing ai and basic tutorials so far. it seems these days no one wants to teamup unless its with someone with amazing art skills so they can just get a better artist for free. or useless ideasguys who make gdd and dont ever learn how to code.

>>558835951Damn that's good.
>>558831584KEKAROO
>>558836132Yeah, but have it expand slowly while it fades so it looks like it's dispersing.
>>558835815I'm not spending 80 bucks for an asset flip.
>>558836132No. The billboarding makes it look horribly wrong. Your engine doesn't have volumetrics?
>>558836132No. Can you not cut it so all the smoke clouds are separate and then have them pop in and fade out individually?
How many degrees removed are you from a famous indie dev?My friend's sister works with Toby Fox
>>558836297You're trying to treat what you're currently doing as video game production, when in reality, you're not even close to ready for production. You're still learning, and so your priority should be to learn what you should be doing and how to do those things, and the best way to learn is to learn from people better than you. You're just making complete garbage right now.
anyone else entering NIGGA MODE on gamercunts? i used to wanted to make cool games that they will remember fondly, now i want to FLEECE them with skinnerbox slop
>>558837131What better way to learn than trial by fire
>>558837110This Toby Fox fellow. Is he here in the room with us right now?
>>558837382If you have a high enough IQ, the best way to learn is by taking apart and reverse engineering state-of-the-art examples.If you don't have a high enough IQ, the best way to learn is to have someone with a high enough IQ do the reverse engineering for you and then instruct you.You're not learning anything right now.
>>558837760Show me something that does vector cached fixed camera where your movements are relative to the camera and you can sail through multiple screens without an issue.
>>558837841In Unity, you would implement that with Cinemachine and static trigger colliders associated with each camera. To get the movement command vector in the frame of the character, simply project movement vector from the frame of the active camera into the movement plane of the character.
got a couple sprites done today. thoughts on this?
>AI is giving me a highly optimized FK system with meshes in an hourHoly SHIT, this would've taken me literal weeks and only used 7% of my monthly allowance
>>558838931...Anon, that's what I already do.
>>558809603Protip: don't take advice from people who were lucky.
>>558838967Reminds me of that nose Pokémon
>>558838967It's not bad, but it's not good either. It's on the same level as sprites that you would get out of an AI-generated mass asset pack like https://bkx1.itch.io/combat-rpg-4500k-characters that have been popping up. (That asset pack has made 10x more money than your game btw.)
Is anyone else slowly realizing that you're actually just fucking retarded? I recently played Darkest Dungeon for the first time and I was struggling to even just navigate the main town menu thing. This is a massively popular game that has sold hundreds of thousands of copies and I was getting filtered by the UI. This is the level of complexity most players are going to be expecting and accustomed to and I can't even operate it properly, let alone design it. Fuck.

>>558809603Sure there is luck in the equation but that game is good and appealing. His last game, Rocket Sword, was a big success here on agdg, everyone used to praise him all the time because he made appealing games.Fuck, even that frog volleyball one that he made for that agdg jam was appealing.
ProgressEarly idea WIP. Wanted to add some melee weapons to extend the basic attack range. Starting with a sword for now. The player can get this one when their charge punch does the finishing blow to an enemy. You'll steal their parasite, turn it into a sword, and get some health back. It'll have a bigger hitbox, do more damage, and can be thrown when charged. Melee weapons will also have durability.

Will people notice if I trace AI? I can’t draw for shit.
>>558832705I mean, I think my dreams are doable.
>>558844704Yeah
>>558844704if you trace and fix mistakes and add touch ups then noif you literally just trace then yeah
>>558844704Lmao just train a LoRA on tracing.
>>558844728Do you have any concrete supporting evidence?
>>558845460Well, my programming is mostly done and I'm making progress with implementing the animations I've designed.Are they perfect? No. But they're functional for what they're supposed to do and that's what matters. Dev in iterative passes, remember?
>>558818438Oh wow one of them finally publicly admitted that they make more money playing these games than devs do from making them. It really does suck how so many others make money off our games and we're just left with a pittance. How do I get in the position of being the one making jumbo bucks off the devs?The only promising move I have is to become a publisher and siphon off a cool 30%-50% from people desperate to get the "full gamedev experience" because "no you can't succeed without a publisher!" Okay then they keep throwing themselves at them, I just need my networth to go up a lot and I may just drop gamedev and go full on publisher. At least once I'm wealthy enough I can either drop publishing and make my own gamedev company or juggle both at the same time.>>558819082>Gamers deserve to be exploitedMajority of them say one thing but then double back on it with their actions. Anyone remember Skyrim horse armor and the "outrage" over it? Time and time again I am proven you can just ignore them entirely and they will bend if they want your game bad enough.
>upgrade project to godot 4.6.1>play through entire game>the only thing negative thing is that I get a warning about an integer division
>>558840220It all started in 1842...
>>558844704depends what you are tracing
With how competitive gamedev has gotten, just having a team or collab to work with would be a relief. No more needing to be a jack of all trades. But I don't see this happening. No teaming up like Sokpop, BiteMe, or that anon from the other day who has a team of irl friends. It'd be nice if I had a team I could just work with. At this point even just as a wagie gamedev would be fine.Ranking>1st team (irl people)>2nd collab (online people, can become a team from becoming friends over time and maybe even meeting up irl)>3rd wagie (not the same vibes as either a team or collab)If only I could team up with anons but that is just too unlikely, I'm way too scared of showing myself on here.
>>558820624That game looks so sterile and lifeless. Like one of those shitty unity horror games but on a AAA budget.
>>558847292>I'm way too scared of showing myself on here.That's because you're not bring any valuable skills to the table.
>>558825175Once again proving programmers are at the bottom of the dev foodchain. I wish I were part of the artist caste.
>>558825175At least to train code you can use open source code. With AI art the only way is to pirate art from artists, lmao.
>>558847292i decided to post some of my projects on here because i have gotten into the mindset that my games are disposable practice games and i can always just make better games down the road and keep those to myself.
I am full of spite
if youre making less than 2-3 games at once with AI you aint in big 26
>>558849107I'm making more than a dozen games at the same time using my natural, organic, free-range, ethically-sourced intelligence.
>>558849454I know who you are
Well, now it kinda works.
>>558849506I don't even know who I am at times.
>>558849107I'm making 2 games. one with AI and one I made without AI years ago but am dragging slowly to the finish line with AI but the game is a mess. the AI only one is catching up quick.
>>558849715Well I do. You're hurt
>>558849902What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger.
>>558850241You can tell me if you feel upset
Well, my animation pipeline works now. Oh well. It may be amateurish, but it's mine at least.
Could use a lot of refinement, but the skeleton is taking some kind of shape at least.
>>558851459Not bad for a first timer, keep at it.
>>558851628I know. My plan is to just kind of create a skeleton for the "Game" and then go full pentimento repeatedly.The animations are mostly rudimentary because they're pseudo-placeholders.

I can't write a fantasy plot that's appealing to men and not make it a copy of lotr or some other existing story. It's hard to appeal to the male fantasy with something unique.WTF menbros, I thought it'd be easier.
>>558853573Depends on who you ask.I wrote a fantasy story based on MY fantasy, and my fantasy is a beautiful, mysterious, and somewhat dangerous world that has a lot to do and a lot of community in spite of it all.

I've graduated to clearance Xmas candy. Just because it's holiday-themed, it's 75% off.I still owe 15 hours to my game. Today I'll pay some of it of, I promise. I'll be working on my game's quest system. I'm torn between offering the player quests they most likely can't complete and just marking those quests as unobtainable. The latter is more work on my part and more in line with what players in the 2020s expect, but I want my game to have some friction, you know? I'm tempted to just mark it as one of the things to A/B test for, but I'm reminding myself I used to have confidence to simply go with the gut and not try to test everything. The A/B tests I was doing were inconclusive most of the time anyway.

I don't see how the importance of luck for success in gamedev can be anything other than a white pill for us. I mean you could be thinking of yourself as supremely talented and capable and therefore others would benefit from luck more than you, but what have you achieved in life so far really? Anything exceptional? Were you the top 5% in anything?

I can't remember what was AI placeholder text and what I wrote. It was along time ago before AI sounded like AI
You gotta have characters people like in your game
>made a tileset containing hills>its important that the hill edges connect>copied this hillset for the snow set, ethereal set, desert set and forest set>test it out>the hills dont align in a very obvious wayidk how the fuck i didnt notice it 4 times when drawing themnow I got to redo everythingPerhaps Im retarded after all>>558887365thanks>>558887429Ill just keep it like this I think. it has to look similar to the other mimics and they look fine. but thanks for the suggestion
>>558889113I mean, intimidation?
holy shit, HOLY SHIT opus 4.6 literally made me a highly optimized bone animation system that runs 20x faster than spine's runtimeI FUCKING LOVE AI
>>558889247true but im also very lazy
>>558889283it will also let your competition make games 20x faster, so you'll have even less of a chance than with whatever you could have put together pre-AI.
Blah
>>558889283you found out too huh. I took it much further than that too...
>>558889113Isn’t there a tool for this?
>>558889713i aint scared, it seems to struggle with anything creative even on frontier models (i tried them all), my big fear is google/facebook/youtube making games generated specifically for a user based on all the spying shit they do, that would kill gamedev
>>558890224how much did it improve from 3.5 to 4.6 and how likely do you think it'll stop improving where it would suit you rather than being superior to you in every way?
>>558887283get rid of the tongue its making me think of ahegao. this being right before it doesnt help >>558887256

>>558891894I really don't get what they think will happen. We all get replaced by AI, meaning there's no more opportunity to make money, then ... the people who own all the AI hardware give us free money forever because ???They love the car comparison but they don't realize they are the horses.
>>558892010topkek
>>558890351i would say that opus is the same since early/mid 2025, it's just the context window that improved so it doesn't hallucinate and can work with a larger codebase which is huge, i don't vibecode in an IDE i feed it large github issues with specs and then run the unit tests and debug it myself, i don't think a vibecoder with no SWE background would be able to achieve the same results or be able to debug down the linetl;dr i think that vibecoding is still mostly unviable but they have to pretend like it is to keep investors happy

>>558891883I like this. What's the game?
I've been having this problem with exporting Blender animations and while I was able to solve it by using NLA strips, I don't think that's a good idea. I need to get to the bottom of why certain animations were not exporting.
>>558894524the animation contains a reference to a bone no longer in your rig
>>558894406vore but with buildings
>>558893785so basically the kind of thing we have now except with fewer men in the middle class.
top or bottom?
>>558894924I'm more of a power bottomwait, what were you asking again? oh, I think the bottom image looks more natural although both look highly unlikely
>>558889113make the borders overlap
>>558894625Shit you're probably right.Should I just ctrl+I through the whole thing or not?
>>558891883

>>558847292>No teaming up like Sokpop, BiteMe, or that anon from the other day who has a team of irl friendsSpeak for yourself loser LMAOOOOOOOO
pretty quiet in here
>>558847292teaming up with people sucks, i tried it once>everyone is excited about the project>i get started coding up some general game logic and menu>ask them to take a look get a vague "looks good">check what theyve done, nothing at all>stop doing anything or mentioning it to see if they care at all, its never mentioned again
>>558897278Many such cases. People like the idea of making video games, but don't want to actually do the act of making video games.
>>558897637You can't really depend on people you're paying either. For the vast majority of people, if you want them to work, you need to micromanage them. Very few people are capable of producing anything without their hand being held ever step of the way.
>>558887429Like, I live in an area where the most "Obscure" game most people know about is fucking Fortnite.You'd be hard pressed to find someone who even knows what UNDERTALE is

>>558832126people who make low quality entertainment deserve to have their creation ridiculed if you don't have or can't develop skin thick enough to take this ridicule and improve then you will never create anything of value to anybody
>>558831410>>558831763Sounds like they put anyone with the slightest difference in that class. Seeing what happened to you I'd probably have had the same fate.>dei female teacher: look at how smart this retard is>non normie teacher: that kid isn't retardedMy life would probably be far worse if that was my fate for over a decade. Though I'd probably have picked up gamedev a lot sooner as the realization would push me online. Ironically that means I could've gotten into gamedev prior to the start of the golden age. Alternatively I never got into gamedev and became hyper normie to escape the retards.
>>558898729Yyyep.
FIVE DAY BEFORE DEMODAY!Are you ready
>>558898149wagmi was always a lie. the cruel reality is only a tiny minority will make it, not just in this but in anything competitive. if it's any consolation, it's not your fault you didn't make a top 2% most successful game. skills and effort will get you into the top 10% but beyond that is dependent on you having made several lucky guesses early in development.

I'm learning to model and make 3d animations in Blender to export it to Unity and ran into the issue that if you use jiggle bones for breast physics/etc in the first frame of an animation they always twitch weirdly in a very noticeable way but when it starts looping they look ok cause it's an issue with how blender does physics. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this or should I just try to animate in engine instead?
>>558902005i don't know, just fuck around with animations for an hour and you'll suddenly fix it
>>558902005Don't worry about it. That shows up in even AAA games.
>>558902005I’m also struggling with exporting and I cannot for the life of me understand why some actions don’t export.I checked any possible differences>Bones not existing>Names not matching up>Fake User>Not being assigned to an objectAnd so on but none of them gave any answers
>>558902952I'm going to test it today and try to make sure everything gets fixed. if I get it right I'm going to let you know.Also, which engine do you use? I managed to get all the exports working in Blender -> Unity pipeline when I was exporting without animations but I came back to Blender because I didn't like the animation flow in Unity.
>>558901189Nah, im a boy. >why the game you made for the v3 jam?what do you mean? I spent too much time without devving and that idea was cool enough to make me want to finish the game. I need to finish REAL games to improve. Creating a bunch of prototypes is fun but i wasnt improving at all.
>demo day in 5 days>V3 submissions in 15 daysI'm planning on using the feedback from demo day and rolling it into my trailer for V3. Seems like the smartest way to do it. And then launch the steam page around when V3 happens. Gotta have my shit together
>>558903481shit is hitting the fan anonit's time to do or dietime to buckle uptime to strap intime to get serious
>>558903481whats your game honest and innocent v3 namedropper? :)
What's your minimum criteria to consider your game a success and how likely do you think it is to be met?For me, I'd hope my game to earn me (after Steam's cut and taxes) at least $1000 for every month I worked on it, so $15k by the time it's released. The chances of that I'd say are 15-20%
>>558899039most people have the potential to make a top 2% game.Most aren't there yet but a lot of us are going to make it.It just looks bad because by the time we do we will find that 10 new amateurs with low skill have arrived to fill our place, thus maintaining the 2% ratio perpetually.
>>558904410I make one real sale and they like it enough to tell their friends
>>55890445995% of us that released a game will disappear. hat flying, belly bloated, game flopped, defeated.
>>558904459It's better to foster an air of hope to keep people striving to do moreThat's why doomerism is so toxic, it poisons the potential of those that could have made it but let the crabs cloud their judgement
>>558903367Oh okay that makes sense. Pics of 3D version?
>>558904834you will beg to be allowed back into the cage
>>558904871game aint working right now, lmaohere a video from 4 days agothe only difference is that now i have ambient light, diffuse shader and 3d blood particles
>>558904410The game earns me $7500 post cut and tax for every month I worked on it. Therefore1 year dev = $90k2 years dev = $180k3 years dev = $270kEtc.How likely? My game is the kind where it's possible to get $90k. If I finish it fast and at a high enough quality, but if development drags on the time to earnings ratio will fall. I'd say 5% chance assuming I can finish it in 1 years time max.
>>558905625that's like 300-400 reviews per year assuming $15 price on Steam. good luck!
>>558903337I also use Blender to Unity.I don’t understand the issue at all.
>>558904410$100 per month of development will be great$300 per month: success>$500 per month: HOLY FUCK WE DID IT REDDIT
>>558905361Looks neat anon :^)
>>558904410People like it and talk about it. COD might be super successful but do you ever really hear anyone enjoy it on a deeper level.>>558904459Idk why this image is so funny to me
>>558904181uh oh this innocent v3 namedropper sure is taking his sweet time to answer, could it be........tranny betz ximself?!
the way to success is being able to be happy with the little progress you make every day and eventually finishing the marathon over time. consistency is everything. the reason people are obsessed with ideas, is because they don't have a stable identity and therefore they aren't consistent. and if you can't be consistent your only hope is those magic ideas or those magic shortcut tricks that make you finish a multi million dollar idea in 1 week. but this never happens so those people just get more and more depressed over time.what those people need is therapy, not youtube videos and gamedev trends.
>>558907086a wise man once said: you must be obsessed with your idea if you wish to see it come to fruitionthe kind of obsession that makes you pour countless hours into it, little by little, every day
maybe i will go back to one of my old, abandoned projects
>>558904410i learn new skills that i didn't possess during the creation of previous games
>>558907437that guy didn't have to race to the bottom against a million ai-assisted competitors.
>>558907537alright so just give up lmaoyou can make all the excuses you want for your inaction
>>558907437all i need is to know who i am and what i can do. and this is why i know i'm a gamedev. so i just dev every day cause it's who i am. i just apply my knowledge/skills and iterate on my project over and over and over. actually most of the stuff i have in my game right now wasn't planned, it came through iteration. people without a consistent stable identity will neve reach those milestones.

the reason I have an incredibly hard to sticking with anything, or trying at all, is because I have learned that I can't.
in isometric games like diablo and divinity original sin 2 when creating monsters do they sculpt details and things like that or do they do it in textures?

Alright bros I'm taking the AI pill.It's genuinely a useful tool it speeds up my life by a lot with the hours I save I am basically going to live a few extra years.Which one should I buy? Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT?My favorites are Gemini and ChatGPTGemini fast is pretty freaking good for how fast it can output, but frankly it's pretty similar to the Google AI assistChatGPT is a bit too reddit.I never really f*cked with claude, they ask for your phone number, kind of cring
>>558910014Artoids will say this is bad but AI code is somehow good
>>558906092Huh, looks more realistic then I though lol.
>>558904410I'd consider any game that makes it onto "real Steam" (~$150k revenue?) a success. That would provide me a passive income stream which will allow me to justify burning my resume forever and continuing gamedev full-time.
I think I've discovered my problem with exportation but IDK what the fuck it actually is nor do I know how to fix it
>>558910017Claude is generally considered the best coding bot. Even Microsoft uses it internally instead of their own products, and the Pentagon is trying to bully them into letting it pilot drones or whatever.I use it for my wagecage coding job and it speeds me up like 10x.

>>558902952Hey dude! I'm back. I managed to get the test animation I made to export and work correctly in Unity.I baked in animations using Blender before exporting and it worked without issue.I also managed to fix the issue of the jiggle bones, forgot their name, in Blender during animation. It was a physics issue, pretty retarded one. Basically if you're using jiggle bones, make sure to not change frames manually too fast or it messes things up.My model is not the most complicated but if I can help I'll try to.>Bones not existingMake sure to only export deform bones and mark the no leaf bones. Also, control bones, armature inverse kinematics and some stuff in Blender doesn't export to Unity.>Not being assigned to an objectThat's probably a parenting issue in Blender... I'm not sure because I didn't run into this issue but it doens't hurt to double check.>Names not matching upanimation names? what names are you talking about? I ran into the issue with the animation I baked losing it's name but other than that all worked.I still need to try a few stuff over here but I hope to have something worth showing on a video at some point. The model looks pretty weird cause the eyes are supposed to be an animated shader I'm going to have to make and code but I still haven't had the time to work on it.

How do I make dark unsettling grungy music like the dark ambient tracks in thief?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVK85rWhLDI
>>558926479Look at references instead of making shit up off the top of your head. Learn to draw with your eyes and not your mind.
>>558926479Kino, sovl, etc. I can already picture the 500 steam reviews.
>>558926785No, I'm not making an undertale clone
>>558926479300 reviews easy
>>558874983 #Wtf how did Branno fuse with Kita? What gamedevs gains can there be with such a positive and cheerful attitude!?!?!?
God there has GOT to be an easier way to make animations flow better when you're using a modular combo system
>>558927621Bing "Unity Blend Trees"
>>558926479why is drumpf there?
>>558927746TLDR I use a graph for organizing my attacks as part of a system
Osh was bullied. That's it. That's the Xeet
A loli game so good that even non-lolicons love it.
I still can't think of a fun inventory system that's not just RE4 tetris.
>>558926898You mean... 500 steam reviews isn't good enough for you? Or... it's too good, you refuse to sell out to popular taste? What do you mean?
yeah you can tell when the tranime spammer wakes up, few worthless tranime post spammed and then nothing for hours, noticing
>>558927867Was aiming at that kind of hairstyle in front
>>558922738it was made by an argentinian so yeah you spell godot just how it's written and not like the ugly ass english accent
Anybody with a team here?How do you deal with ownership?Like how many % each person should get from the profits? And when everybody is from different country, how do you do it? Start a company to publish the game then pay them like it's a salary?
>>558930408Once upon a time I worked with a team and the other guy "in charge" with me on the project wanted to waste time creating a Kickstarter for the studio first to make the game rather than make the game. We spent hours on voice call arguing about this. Insisting we needed to form an LLC before we think about making the game.
>>558931253>creating a Kickstarter for the studio first to make the gameDid I understand this correctly?Dude is not kickstarting the game, but kickstarting the studio?
>>558931253You should've just let him make it. If he has what it takes to be a grifter, then he might've been able to make a kickstarter scam work even without a prototype.>>558930408It's basically impossible to find random people on the internet who are both skilled enough to make meaningful contributions and still willing to work for revshare.
>>558931463Yes and a separate Kickstarter for the game would've come a couple years down the line. He was convinced that the LLC was allowing us to operate as a legal entity so that everyone got legally paid for their work. When I brought up the idea of "commissioning" our team members and that it was retarded to be thinking of an LLC when we didn't have a game I was told that I didn't understand how these things work.Currently, his project (seperate from the rest of the project we were working on) is currently sitting at a 15 minute "first chapter" of a visual novel and is trying hard to emanate "quirky" visual novel aspects.>>558931523Unfortunately, I'm not looking to get entangled in a money scam.
>>558932547>Unfortunately, I'm not looking to get entangled in a money scam.NGMI
>>558807457https://eyeballtank.itch.io/hirdrih-technologic-wip/devlog/1432060/heres-hirdrihFinally out even if it doesn't seem much.
>>558931523>It's basically impossible to find random people on the internet who are both skilled enough to make meaningful contributions and still willing to work for revshare.You're right, but I did find such people, though they are not random people and we know each others.>>558932547That guy sounds like a scam artist.Not trying to scam you of course, but his plan seems to be just "fake it until you make it".Could probably work if he actually have connections that are dumb enough to fund him.
>>558930408this is our agreementI own everything just because it keeps shit simplein exchange I pay for the licenses for anything we need (other than tools like photoshop)everyone gets perpetual nonexclusive rights to any assets, code, etc made by ANYONE on the team. so if the team splits up, you can reuse whatever you made AND whatever anyone else made on other projectsbeing on the team and contributing anything to a particular game during a month gives you 1 share. contributing ANYTHING being the bar. theres no "reasonable contribution" or "meaningful contribution" required. just any contribution. I determine if you contributed to the project, and i have to say you didn't within a week of the month ending. if i dont say anything implicitly i think you contributed.Anyone can bail at any time, including me. you maintain your shares if you bail. I can kick you. you maintain your shares if you are kickedWe all have to agree to add someone to the team. if we can't come to an agreement, we can bail.profit is disbursed based on shares every month for the first... 6/12 months after release or something? whatever makes sense. then annually, and i only have to send if the owed amount is over 100 USD but it rolls over. this counts merchandising for the particular game and any money we get for selling the rights away. this all resets for sequels, and I own the actual IP.my intent with this contract was to cover for these things>we are hobbyists. nobody really knows how much they will be able to contribute during a given month. i don't care. let's just make a game.>people might drop in or drop out over time. people should still get paid for their work.>I want as little managerial as possible for myself, but i also want to be in charge to protect myself from a rugpull>game might flop, it's cool if we all still get something out of it (assets)
>>558934103actually maybe i said you own assets and code you personally make except for branding stuff. i can't remember.
>>558934103That sounds pretty good, although there's minor issues with my side, where there's a marketing person that's interested in the project too.Not sure how much share should be given to someone that just "market" the non-existent game, they are probably more important during mid-late development.And there's also a audio guy, that probably will not be contributing as much as the programmers & artists that built the game.
>>558934040Unfortunately, telling a new audience that you're asking money from "hey you're investing not in the game but I'm our studio and the IDEAS of games" doesn't go over well with general audiences. Especially when the rewards for the tiers would've started and ended with "your name in credits" and "special discord role".
THE TIME HAS NUMBERS
>>558934103>This all resets for sequels Interesting.
I will learn how to use UE5 slop and theres nothing you can do to stop me
>>558935484>>558935484>>558935484New thread.
>>558935309yeah well i can make a sequel that uses 75% of the same assets. but you can also make a spiritual successor that uses 75% of the same assets. if we made something good enough to deserve a sequel, hopefully we keep working together
enginedev progress report:refactored renderer initialization code to decoupled one-time staging buffers from the resources they stage. wasn't tough, but was annoying. next on our list:>adding basic drawable primitives (bgs, sprites)>making basic draw loop>basic gameplayunsure on timeline because i'm firing on like a quarter of my cylinders atm but hopefully i can get the basic renderer stuff done by the end of the week. the most basic gameplay is simple (basically tetris tier) so that should start to progress very quickly.
>>558935567.... So what stops all your teammates from fucking off and making a game with the OST, assets, code, and just changing the title?
>>558934103>>558934362Suddenly remembering the anon who's guesstimating who pepe poster is
>>558935707nothing. but by controlling when someone joins the team i control when a new rugpuller might show up. if we worked together and made something worth stealing, it's probably better for both of us if we just keep working together instead of rugpulling>>558936417i am pogodev
>>558936753>>558935707oh the point of the "i own everything" part is just for the sake of selling the rights away. i don't want to get in an argument about selling the rights away to some game we made together last year. you'll get your cut stop squirming etc
>>558936909Did you talk to a lawyer to figure this out or did you vibelawyer / forehead smash your way through it
>>558937123who has the money to talk to a lawyerthe point of the agreement is so we all know whats going on. not so we can sue eachother if we break faith. there isnt enough money on the line for that surely
This is why I got no team.That and I can't find anyone. Like at all.
