When's the DD stream?
>>560264406Yeah but I don't WANT to be like that game. The mechanic is unique as hell and if I used it I'd be derivative regardless of how well it works within the framework of what I've done
look at all this shit i still have to port... is there any easy way to grab these .dmi files and convert them into a working png/jpeg or whatever godot will accept as transparent background?
>>560264734It's only derivative if your game is worse.

i used to play games because i was bored, but now that game development keeps me so busy, i'm never bored, and my preference in games has shifted because of thisthis is a conundrum

>>560270454There is no point in asking a doctor about strange and untested treatments you heard about on the internet.

why do so many devs go schizo
the great filter for all creatives is not becoming schizophrenic
>>560273263Solo indie game development is the one of the absolute hardest things you can be doing with your life. Only the best of the best will be able to turn this into a career. The rest are stuck hobbycoping and gabecuntseething for the rest of their lives.

Honestly, I think AI can code fine, but you gotta save the versions that works in a working version folder, and then use it to teach gemini it should study the working version to compare, also make helper functions that does parsing or casting of data.

Small proggy.Added a compass. Right now it always points north relative to the player's facing direction.I'm planning on making it point towards the gates when I eventually add those.

>>560279237>>>/wsg/6109270
>>560278562You know what I changed my mind, the compass now uses the camera's forward direction instead of the player's. It feels smoother.
How do you like your meat cooked?I've been making giga-progess but I haven't been progress-posting much because a lot of stuff is hard to show off in a 3MB webmbut today I just got particle effects working with magic tome type weapons and made idle and attack animations for infantry tome units.

>>560278562The gates?>>560280119What's the purpose? Is there a map?

>>560282459>>560282679Are you Austrian? Did you only advertise to your family and friends or something? You didn't even do the bare minimum of advertising like put your game on https://www.incrementaldb.com/ and post on https://www.reddit.com/r/incremental_games/
>>560283803No map, just the compass. The gates are used to make progress on the run.

Unrealchads we're eating good
>>560284335holy kino
>>560284335Phooey. I was hoping you'd create more complicated map design like towns and stuff.It'd be fun
>>560285087Eh, I want to keep the scope small by making a simple roguelike so I can drop it on Steam soon otherwise I would never finish.I'm gonna properly revisit the setting in a future game when I have enough experience.
This morning this spider died because it was in my shower while I was taking a shower. It probably thought it was born for a reason, that it was special.It died a horrible death, for reasons it could not possibly understand, by forces it was completely powerless to prevent, to no one's particular surprise or upset.In this way, we are more alike than different.Perhaps game development is my shower.
>>560284618that's godot; i saw the vid on xitter
Good Eveging Aggor
>>560285451Scrub your shower nigga
>>560285451>Perhaps game development is my shower.But if it's your shower then the metaphor doesn't work right? So game dev makes you wet?
>>560285451I gently take spiders out of my shower, I'd never let a leggy fren succumb to such a cruel fate as that.

rapid progressionthat's all people want
How do you deal with low confidence?
>>560293398Meaningful progression with no level scaling so the areas you've been in feel like something you can conquer*
>>560293561come to agdg and know it could be a lot worse
>>560293609i don't even think that's necessary, people still enjoyed oblivioni think "good game design" can be boiled down to giving people a list of shit to do
Can I generate animations with AI yet for use in games? Either for 2D or 3D.That's always been my biggest blocker.
>>560284335Lolidevs I kneel...
Ugh, I feel like I'm spinning my wheels trying to fix a system
>>560293927take a break
>>560293561Improve upon your skills until they're worthy of confidence aka skill issue
>>560293821>people still enjoyed oblivionThe level scale fixing mods were so popular that the guy got hired as the one of the lead designer for New Vegas. People enjoyed it despite the level scaling.
>>560293840yes. https://www.pixellab.ai/
>>560293840Yeah. You can gen skeletal animations locally even, if you have 24gb of vram.
>>560293974No, I need to PROGRESS
>>560293821"Good game design" can be boiled down to "an NP-hard solution space with many reasonable regions of local minima to explore".
>>560294119interesting, when i played skyrim i had no issue with level scaling, and the people i know IRL who played it never complainedi wonder what percentage of players used these level scale fixing mods? the "general audience" didn't seem to care>>560294301taking a break is making progress, neurological progress in your brainneurons forming new connections and solidifying new informationyou'll come back to your work and notice you are more competent>>560294347but there will still be an optimal solution, a solution that is better than all othersthat optimal solution is the checklist approachtry it out in your games and see how people respond
>>560294347NP-hard problems are computationally intractable, the time to find the exact optimal solution grows exponentially as the problem size increases, this is what steamies want.
>>560294347>>560294756speak english you fucks
>>560294675Skyrim doesn't really have level scaling.

>>560294675See >>560294756>but there will still be an optimal solution, a solution that is better than all othersThere's no way to prove that your solution is the optimal solution, plus, the solution space changes once again the moment you introduce any new content, as many of these types of games do. (i.e. meta builds in any live-service game)>>560294890You're in luck. Fireship made an ELI5 video just a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x36UmiSiEzchttps://www.raphkoster.com/2025/11/03/game-design-is-simple-actually/
I've got to win this fucking contest, no matter what!
>>560295134>it does just not as egregiously as oblivionIt doesn't scale enemy stats, which is what most people had an issue with.
>>560295146>There's no way to prove that your solution is the optimal solutionyes there is, it's profitmost profit = best gamebecause if it was a bad game people wouldn't buy itand if you rely on a huge budget to make the game then your profit would be lowi'm telling you man checklists are the game design metatry it out yourself and see how it feels
>>560295181Don't know what you're talking about but that's sick.
>>560295181I hope you win. if not, it's cool that you are getting better anyway. I used to do art comps and got better faster thanks to that pressure.
