>>560471947This is why local AI will always be superior. They made ram unaffordable to stop people from running AI locally.
>>560471947AI is simply not profitable at their current energy usage. They need to figure out how to lower that tremendously. Likely through specialized designed hardware or some other breakthrough or switch up of energy production. AI is simply too energy hungry.
>>560472496they're building new nuclear energy plant for AI as we speak
>>560471675You plan on doing more?
>>560472742Is the offset of that even enough to make AI profitable because I don't think it's enough. Nuclear is great but it's not a wonder solution.
>>560472834Yea, I just finished Jenny so decided to put all of them together. I dunno how I gonna put the vehicle-based games on it though.
>>560471947I need to finish my engine before it all goes away. I'm close.. soon I wont need AI at all...
>>560473407Neat.
>>560473407draw the car and put someone at the wheel
>>560473602you can just switch to Godot?
>>560473721I have this idea that car from NeoDrive has to be trashed, but drawing a wreckage can be daunting and end result might be just unrecognizable mess. I'll think about a sensible solution.
>>560472742It's take 8 years minimum to build a nuclear energy plant, and that's assuming nothing happens to it in the meantime.
>>560474017I've never used Godot. I switched from unity to my own js engine(made with claude), but just for 2d games
>>560474481ah carry on then

>>560475319combos aren't worth it because usually you can get the same items for cheaper by ordering them separately
i realized that i lack meaning and instead of finding meaning i just try to get rid of that need in order to just function and make money. basically i try to replace the need for meaning with the need for money and since my soul rejects that i keep trying harder and harder.but now i realized that searching for meaning makes just way more sense. like, if i don't care about money and all i want is meaning, then why is there even this obsession with money?

Here's my latest game:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gpT6hL_qV8Yes. It's a devlog; keep watching.
>>560483294
>>560483294this is not a game
>>560486575>devlog ā gameOkay. You can report me. That's fair.
>>560483497Thanks.
hypothetically, if you had a game where you released a demo after one month of progress and hardly anyone played it and no one commented, would you cancel the game and try something else or keep going? i think i might be able to finish it completely in another two months, it's just unlikely it would find a target audience.
>>560488051did you do everything u were able to do to promote said game?
>>560489949>did you do everything u were able to do to promote said game?no, not at al and i don't know the first thing about it or how not to completely botch a game release. i have no social media, really.
>>560490221then start there
>>560488051>where you released a demoOn Steam? You are guaranteed to get at least a few dozen players, and from those few dozen, you should look at your median playtime. If your median is very low (<15 minutes), it means your game is shit.
>>560490750okay, i think my issue might even be having a game that's worth marketing. my demo provides maybe ten minutes of gameplay. if a finished my game, it might provide a few hours of gameplay at best but i worry it would become monotonous with the first half hour. it's just kind of a flawed concept for a game. i'm afraid it's not something i could easily change either without basically throwing the whole thing out and starting over. i think my game mainly exists as an interesting tech demo for an engine nobody but me will ever use. maybe this is my game's post mortem.
>>560490906it was just carelessly tossed onto itch to see if anyone here would give me some early feedback but i am finding such things don't come easily. the lack of feedback could be taken to mean my game is shit.
>>560491638Are you the only linux build guy? That's less than careless. That's like leaving a botched meal on top of a dumpster and expecting someone to eat it (only the most desperate degen would).
>>560472110But LLMs need VRAM, not RAM - they run on the GPU. You can get like 2x 3090 if you want to run shit locally.
>>560472496>They need to figure out how to lower that tremendouslyWhy don't they just... ban anyone who can't pass an IQ exam? We don't need Indian creations here.
>>560492373They'll just use AI to pass the IQ exam.
>>560492460Make it in person. Find some jobless artist to administer the exams.
>>560492373Because cheap labor from Indians equipped with LLMS outweighs the cost of paying proper salaries in first world countries in the long term. It's a short term loss, long term gain.
>>560492148i managed to convert it to a webgl build but there's just little of substance for someone to actually play. that's the real problem. did you want to play it?
>>560491638itch is the dead sea if its not a porn game. It is not an accurate gauge for how the game will do on Steam.My honest advice would be to ask YOURSELF if it's a game you would buy on Steam, WHY or WHY NOT?You will end this project eventually finished or not, but your skills in game design and finding the fun will persist.
>>560492576the literal opposite of that is true you fucking moronoutsourcing to jeets with chatgpt is a short term gain because they are cheaper than paying someone who knows what they are doing, but long term they will completely destroy your product and run you into the ground
>>560492704>there's just little of substance for someone to actually play.I mean, that already tells me enough. It's fine. I'm sure you learned a lot in making this project, so it's not a waste. If you want a substantial number of people to play your game, it does actually have to be a game with gameplay and not be just an empty tech demo.
My game will get 1 million sales. I wish you all the best out there! But I just think you guys just dont care enough.... sucks to suck!
>>560492732i'm learning that i need to put substance over style and have actually good gameplay loop or i'll never have anything worth marketing and i should target windows and not an OS 1% of people use. and just use godot because my engine that i put so much work into is maybe a hair more performant than a web build of a game engine and has a small fraction of the features.
>>560492151You can run llms off of ram purely using the cpu its just really slow. If you need like an 'oracle' machine with an extremely dense model that you only use every once in a while the cheapest way to do it is to build a server with a ton of ram. Still though vram and ram are made using a similar process and what open AI did was book the fabs for the next few years to make HBM so they aren't producing as much ram or vram.Manufacturing HBM consumes roughly three times more wafer capacity per gigabyte than traditional DRAM. Memory producers reallocated capacity to HBM, shrinking the available capacity for conventional DRAM and VRAM.
>>560492735No, it's a short term loss (burning money and operating the business at a loss) but long term gain (SV salaries will go down to <$100k from $500k).
>>560493418>what open AI did was book the fabs for the next few yearsPurely on credit btw, they don't even have the money to pay for it yet
>>560493727>they don't even have the money to pay for it yetthat's okay I don't have a game to post here yet either
>>560493462havent you noticed all the JEETED companies crashing and burning? crowdstrike, boeing, microsoft?
>>560493418Brehs
now i'm actually starting to get some ideas that might make my vector graphics game more engaging like rpg mechanics, dungeons and towns with NPCs kind of like daggerfall. does this pique anyone's interest?
>>560492735>long term they will completely destroy your product and run you into the groundBeing an investor or on the board of directors does not guarantee you have good business sense and there are multiple reasons why they sometimes choose to seek short term profit and run a company to the ground. It is also true that once a tech company manages to secure more revenue streams they will hire more and more finance/marketing people to optimize them and develop new ones, any department will continue to justify its own existence and be oblivious to their own bloat.It is also easier to say that the people bringing in the dragon hoard from selling overpriced junk to businesses and governments are more important than your development teams because optimization and functioning software cannot easily be quantified into profits on a spreadsheet. Regardless it is often in the 'unseen variable' where the real value of the company lies, quiet quitting among customers is also common where you previously had brand loyalty you now have people waiting for a better alternative to come along. You can track signs of this, but it is an inconvenient truth to the CFOs out there so it usually gets translated into more and more aggressive upselling, you can usually tell how grim the situation by how aggressive their monetization strategy is towards their already existing customers.
>>560495379The vector graphics idea is kind of stupid. It doesn't look good. No shading and no obstruction = impossible to communicate depth. A real daggerfall-like will always find an audience, but it's also 100x+ bigger than what you have so far, so expect to take 100 months or 8 years of constant and consistent work to get there, which is humanly impossible (you will burn out and waste years). If you really want to get into gamedev long term, go play some smaller successful indie games like incrementals and roguelikes. Find some open space in a more reasonably scoped genre, and just use a real engine.
Editor done.:DNow I have a functional level editor for my engine.
>>560497647by next week you'll have a different engine, editor and game I'm sure
>>560496474look, you are my strongest critic and i don't know if i should hold your opinion on my game over mine but maybe i could compromise on our ideas and make a 3d roguelike in the same style as my current game. i wish i had more feedback on the style of my game than just your opinion. i personally don't find it difficult to gauge depth in my game. i just don't think following the crowd and giving up the single unique aspect of my game would be good. i would just end up making a generic roguelike or incremental of which there are many to choose. i guess when my game bombs someday because of it's art style you can find me and say "i told you so".
>>560497647mejor usa ia puto
>>560498438The art style isn't going to kill the game, but it's also not a plus in any way. You can make a daggerfall-like in the style of old ASCII Dwarf Fortress, but people would still want to play it because it has hundreds of hours of content (and they'll even mod it for you for free to fix your shit graphics), but getting to that hundreds of hours of content takes an ungodly amount of work.Unique doesn't mean good. Players don't want unique. They want more of what they already know they'll enjoy. Personally, I'd say the art style is too abstract. It's too hard for potential players to understand at a glance what they're looking at, and so they'll be too quick to dismiss it. If you already have tens of thousands of players playing the game, more players would be convinced to look past the abstract art style and try the game, but getting that first ten thousand is going to be nigh impossible.
>>560498975>Dwarf FortressIt did boost popularity when they upgraded the graphics and put it on Steam though
>>560499553They didn't "upgrade" it to some weird abstract art style. They upgraded it to some very standard pixel art.
wtf am i doing wrong
>>560505186GDScript is case-sensitive, retard.Also, properly indent your code.

>>560471376Same. Except probably 2027 for me. My initial estimated release date was 2025....
did they change a bunch of shit between whenever zero to proficiency came out and now because i literally copy pasted code 1:1 and its giving me errors againif they did change shit is it less retarded to downgrade to the version of godot from the book or find like a newer guide
>>560481554Follow other devs.
It works
I made this in Godot. It's a single room "spaceship" because I don't know what I want it to look like.But you can move around and also fly the ship. The "viewscreen" is from a camera on the ship's exterior, so I can have different cameras etc.At the moment, I just have a sun, stars, a planet, and a ball wiggling around for testing purposes.Can anyone suggest something to do with this? Originally I was setting out to do a single player space trading game, but there's tonnes of those and it feels boring.
>>560418576Still thinkning on how to reduce Overheat status. Have less options now:1) Drink water and/or other drinks once a minute2) Add spots with buckets of water in heated locations so you can pour water over yourself (new suggested idea - jump in that water barrel to chill out)3) Add spots with cold showers (maybe limited uses)What do you think on them, anon?Anon that suggested place like minilake, it is cool, but idea should be that water is kinda limited there.
>>560513914Maybe a hierarchy of cooling items the player gets as they progress in the heated zones.>start with very limited options, just some bottles of water to cool off with, ponds/water sources are very rare so the player needs to balance exploring with the supply they have>water could also be used to extinguish fire walls/doors, so the player can decide further if they want to risk exploring an area while reducing their supply of cooling>next tier could be just a bigger bottle or better cooling, extends exploration>final tier could be a special item, like the inverse of the thermal rock in Don't Starve, that slows the effect of overheatingJust some ideas off the top of my head, I'm sure this can be refined further.
171 days left and that's an optimistic estimate. I did the numbers and February was my lowest income month since September 2018. It's February so it's a bit shorter but still it's looking grim.Yesterday I spent the day working on UI and it must have been enjoyable because I finished work early. Going on past experience, that probably means I'm wasting time and should move on to something else, which I will.
Hey, newbie dev here.I'm currently finishing the demo for an RPGMaker h-game I'm making atm. Figured I'd shill it to some of you guys here for critique once the demo drops sometime this week (I'll be posting a link to a MEGA). Demo will be free, full game I think 5$ but I'll post links here (and on F95) for free anyways cause lmao who buys RPGMaker games.The basic overview is that it'll be a "4 niggas in a row" RPG where you can romance the 3 other party members. Decently linear story with some side content and hidden easter eggs you can find, basically a small scope, easy project for a first timer.Also it's a /hmofa/ RPG, so if you miss the link being posted here you can find it in the /hmofa/ threads on trash, it'll likely be linked in the OP after posting.Pic related, smug cat merchant.
>>560514739Nice art! Gameplay?
>>560514815I don't have any vids to show, mostly cause the demo will be released very soon anyways (a few days).It's an RPGMaker game, so naturally it's a turn based combat game. I tried my best to make the combat a bit interesting by making skills "combo based" where you usually need to prebuff with certain skills, and those states gained will unlock further effects for more powerful skills. There's an ebb and flow to the combat where the basic loop is "buff > attack > buff > attack" and if a curveball from the enemy interrupts this loop the player would have to find methods to get back into it without taking too much damage/debuffs.This causes combat to last a while, so I decided to remove random encounters and make every combat encounter a scripted and finite one. The overall "feeling" of this makes it feel more like a TTRPG where a GM sets up specific encounters and lets you deal with them as you see fit, or even avoid them if you can. There's not EXP to grind, but enemies will drop items and usually act as path blockers, so there's still a reason to fight. However it's a good idea to explore around first before committing to an encounter.As for story and dialogue, there's not a huge amount of different paths and things to explore, but there are some hidden things and different dialogue choices you can make to slightly alter how scenarios/acts play out. Plus, since it's an H-game focused on romance the side content with your chosen romantic interest would have influence on some of the main story beats. Like learning extra things about the quest you're currently on, or gaining a unique buff for the final fight in the game.
>>560514815>>560515237Also the art isn't mine. I'm working with a team of 3 artists from the /hmofa/ threads on trash who liked the prototype game I presented to them.Turns out people are more willing to work alongside you if you actually have something to show instead of just being an ideas guy, who knew.
I wonder how Boku feels being associated with this
>>560515415SOURCE???
>>560515321Don't count your chickens until they're hatched anon. I've been ghosted by 4channers I teamed up 6 months into development just fine. Making a game is a huge commitment and most people don't realize that until a couple of months. It's effectively 1-2 hours of work a day without getting paid and most don't have the grit for that long term. Probably not a big issue if you can actually finish the game in 6 months though.
>>560516324>>>/v/735012418
>>560499964i think my game will probably flop regardless so i might as well just carry out my original vision and be satisfied with that at least.
I'm so happy chuds.I feel like I can design my engine to suit perfectly my own tastes instead of trying to fit a gui editor to do things in a way I don't enjoy.It's like going from shoes you buy that are expensive but always left you bothered because they don't 100% fit your feet shape, to having custom tailor made shoes that fit perfectly.
>>560520179I'm doing that too. building the engine at the same time as the game though, don't have time to wait

1 000 000 objects at above 80+FPS (without OBS). Can go up to 1.5M with only minor dips under 60.Still doing incremental prototypes to transfer my RTS fully onto Compute Shader. This is prototype #2.Added friction so objects would actually fucking stop.Biggest objective (99% done) was having proper rendering capabilities, with each object being able to have different mesh/material or even to have more than one visual object per entity - previous prototype had everyone use the same thing so any position automatically meant the same sprite, which simplified things tremendously. Now this part finally work, and I even added a bootleg LOD fade system that my non-compute shader game didn't have (will probably need to swap to dithered alphaclip transparency for it tho, not practical long term to have every object be technically transparent).Collisions are still pure boid under the hood so they work but are weird, that's next on the todo list.

can someone explain to me what SDL does? is it like a thing you can make games with? or you need to pair it with a thing you can make games with?
>>560628108It's a framework you make games with. But you don't get the features of an engine so you make mostly everything yourself.
>>560526501SNA built up a following through patreon initially.
>>560628461okay from what I've gathered it's only 2D games, but let's say I want to make something 3D, I have to pair it with either DirectX or OpenGL. And my question is, why use SDL then? when you can write all the shit you want with raw DirectX and OpenGL?? I get that you get easy "open new window" feature but that's where my knowledge ends
>>560628108 >>560628574Allows you to do stuff like creating a window, receiving input, playing sounds and showing graphics without you having to worry whether you're coding for windows/linux/mac/android etcOtherwise you might use opengl that is cross platform but you have to interact with windows api to get input and make a window on windows, x11 api for a window and input on linux, android on android etc etc
>>560630872Ah so the multiplatform thing is the only advantage? I dont really care about that, but hell to better understand the topic I will try doing some test project with SDL
>>560628108SDL is a multimedia library.It can handle window creation, 2D textures blitting to the screen, multiplayer, sound, TTF fonts.You can even combined it with OpenGL to let OpenGL handle the 3D rendering while SDL takes care of the input and window management.But honestly, SDL is a bit old and legacy by now.My advice is that you should use raylib now.Use Nim with raylib if you want a similar low level experience to make a game but feels actually like using a game engine in terms of how easy is nim with raylib.
>>560474481>my own js engineWhat in oblivion is that? Legit curious about the performance of such an abomination.My own backend is built with python, so am not one to talk.
>>560634752Okay, that explains it thanks anon
>>560634734Pretty much, just abstracting away your logic from platform and some hardware too like gamepads
>>560522037I'll give players what they want when players give me what I want.
>>560475319Last time I checked Godot isn't great for 3D, but Godot works fine with Blender yeah
>>560628108If you want to make games in C++ you essentially want one of these, SDL, SFML, Allegro, or similar. You use it to set up a window and render to it, and handle input. You really don't want to skip out on this part.Then to render graphics you can either go with the frameworks own primitive graphics pipeline, or set up your own opengl workflow with glew. The former is very easy to get going, the latter has a longer learning curve.
>>560634752>But honestly, SDL is a bit old and legacy by now.I disagree, at least if you're rocking your own OpenGL. It is well supported and easy to port to other platforms.
>>560634752SDL3 released just last year, why do you say it's old and legacy?
>>560522037Is there a big enough market for that kind of autism games to allow a dev to make a living out of it?
what in a fuck!!! i could've swore the spring sale was going to start on march 18, tomorrow!! am i tripping or did fatfuck gabencunt really push the sale back by a day?
>>560639942Maybe you don't need a big market to make a living, just a dedicated onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stxVBJem3Rs
>>560639885Not him but I know that some of the modules are handled better with other frameworks. For example there is the SDL sound library, it is very primitive. If you need positional sound you're better off using OpenAL soft. IIRC they also have a network library, and you're better off using something else like RakNet or steamworks network sdk. These are just extra frameworks that you don't need to include, personally I use SDL2 still, for window and input handling and there are no issues whatsoever.
>>560469887Is your game DLSS 5 ready?
Once about a year or two ago, a guy came in here said his girlfriend was looking to draw stuffthat 'girlfriend' I found later was working for some sorta art factory, technically not a scam? but dishonest and not really functional for business purposes (not being able to test out assets before implementing them, etc)I got off fine because I gave them the cheapest, easiest task I could think of, but it's the only time I've not been able to use the result, largely because of the wall in communicationsI'm now realizing what probably happened is the 'girlfriend' is one of those south-east asia scam factories pretending to be girls to win trust and 'date' lonely guys and they use that to direct people to send crypto or do commissions like thishm

>>560639885Because there's now better shit like raylib.
>>560639885because he has no idea, simple as
>>560645567Does raylib allow you to write your own opengl handling with glew, or are you locked in to their framework?
>>560644229My cock is DSLS ready.
>>560645227I really like this game and it has GMI potential but it still has some rough edges
>my country has a ~10% personal income tax and almost a 50% corporate taxWhat possible reason I could have to incorporate as an indie dev if the profit breakdown already looks like this, especially given that I wouldn't be able to access what little I have left freely as a corporation
>>560646375I think it uses it's own renderer, but pretty sure you could use it to control the window like SDL with it's C API.Pretty sure since it runs on linux, it uses opengl under the hood.But I've found that the 3D already can do in a couple of lines shit like load and play gtlf models.Doing that with Opengl and SDL is a huge pain in the ass.
>>560634752>>560639885because cris is a retard and this is his worst take ever, what do you expect from a framework engine hopping retard that only knows surface level language of the day gibberish
>>560644229Nvidia should rename it to LSSD 5
>>560646931Try raylib, then try SDL.
>>560646832Personally that's why I'd stick with SDL then, or SFML. Not really interested in locking myself into a custom rendering framework.
>>560647182I should qualify this. I've worked with OpenGL for over 10 years. If you don't want to mess with it raylib might very well be the best goto.
>>560647347Try to use raylib with Nim, then you'll understand what is the gamedev version of having a blowjob.
>>560646789that's still 53M. more than you'd ever see flipping burgers.>especially given that I wouldn't be able to access what little I have left freely as a corporationstfu retard
>>560647750I'm not going to be earning 1M let alone 53M, I'm asking what could I possibly get from halving my income and tying it up in a company
>>560647882just do what rich people do to avoid taxesit works for them
>>560646789You wouldn't go corporate unless you were hiring people.Australia has decent tax concessions especially in Queensland when it comes to hiring people in game development. High tax but you'd get a lot of it back anyway.But if you have a day job and don't make that much on your game, you may as well pass it off as a hobby and not have it taxed at all like a youtuber.
>>560644229I had never even heard of DLSS

>>560644229Yes
>>560645227It takes a bit too long to reset to 0, doesn't it?unless it's intended to be a slow and patient game anyway
>>560628108it's all right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layerask AI if you need more details about something in particular, but the TL;DR of it all is that it lets you have access to input and output of your hardware, which is what you need to make a game. But you'll need to know opengl or vulcan if you want to make your own rendering engine.Basically it has most of the hardware access you need but it lacks everything else like the primary engines for a game like a physics engine, rendering engine, UI, input handler, ect.I'd recommend raylib actually, it's a bit more accessible.if you want to make a 3d game, seriously just don't fucking bother with sdl or raylib.
>>560658997>if you want to make a 3d game, seriously just don't fucking bother with sdl or raylib.There's nothing wrong with using SDL for 3D, it's just a lot more work to write your game on top of your own graphics and game engine. It's a very good learning experience if you're down for it, but it's a long journey for sure.Baldur's Gate 3 uses SDL for example, but they have of course an entire studio behind their engine.
>>560644229>DLSSWhat does that even mean?

>>560663465This guy gets it.Look at da vinci, he was probably the most learned man of his era but he considered himself a failure because he was too busy learn maxxing and didn't actually accomplish very much and was considered only useful because of his art talents and yet died with the mona lisa unfinished.And how where learning is far easy than ever you can spend your whole life doing learn slop and some duke or prince will not give a fuck because he's too busy raping infant on an island.Getting really good at programming rendering engines or masting photorealistic painting isn't actually about game development.

>>560698376Its not a porn game at allI have an autistic system where any data that has some conditional associated with it can be assigned in the editor via drag & drop rather than hardcoding. This same systems is shared between conditions for skill activations, conditions for certain characters to show certain dialogue, whatever.If I wanted to check compare two into I would use an intCompareCondition that compares two intProviders. So if I wanted some ability that does extra damage if you attack something that has a lower speed stat than yourself I could just assign two int Providers in the editor to that ability and set it to check that one is greater than the other.But if I wanted a character who does extra damage to enemies of the same sex, or even if I just wanted a character who has different dialogue if they're talking to a man vs a woman, I use the exact same concept except instead of an int provider I use a sex provider that provides the sex of a given character for comparison in some conditional.

It's been fun doing game development with you guys, but now that I live in a three million dollar estate from dev profits, I'm switching over to genetic engineering.
>>560719228so... instead of devving computers, now you'll dev DNA? that's crazy
>>560719605Yes, I will be.
>>560719228the fuck is bro cooking
>>560719859damn, that's awesome man! godspeedcan I ask you something? how difficult would be for a random person to do something likehttps://youtu.be/aENzxLQ4NAg&t=137what's more important? the knowledge or the equipment?
>>560720471Honestly, pretty easy. There's this concept of a 'production platform' in biotech, and since in this case the output is the product of a pathway, and not a part of the pathway itself, it becomes a lot easier to purify and concentrate.The issue you may face from lifting THC production into a yeast, is that the glycosylation performed in the ER of yeast will be distinct from a plant, which may lead to non-functioning variants of the enzymatic pathway required for synthesis of the output or precursors. So, to prevent that a better move would be to splice the pathway into a more compatible organism, possible a single-celled green algae. I wrote a biotech program for this type of work already, and for normalizing things to get around the glycosylation and codon differences in different groups of organisms.
>>560720783nigga will do anything to get high
>>560720471oh and btw, equipment can be aped for $500 in USA if you really needed to get it done.Step 0. Get DNA, there are lots of methods, for a set sequence I recommend PCR in water baths, single tube reaction, primers may be harder to get than other parts of the process. For one reaction this is theoretically quite cheap, but they mostly sell TAQ polymerase in batches of like 500 reactions because it fits in 1ml. Step 1. Set up a helium tank and some silicone tubing like a blow gun.Step 2. Precipitate tungsten 1 micron dust into smaller gauge silicone tubing with ethanolStep 3. Precipitate the DNA on to the tungsten in the tube, low flow rate here is important or the tungsten gets flushed throughStep 4. Cut and load the small gauge into the larger gauge silicone tubing, about 2cm/shot, place a strong parafilm wrapping around this and cut a hole for just the output.Step 5. Use one hand to position the output over target cells (egg cell, plant stem cell thallus, bacterial colony, tissue culture) Step 6. Puff the helium tank to output, and close it, thus blasting the DNA-coated tungsten into the nuclei of the cellsStep 7. selective screen for transformants, agar plates, kanamycin, or a reporter gene (GFP family, or other pigments work well)You could honestly do it easily, I recommend reading some biotech handbooks.https://files.catbox.moe/6yejvs.pdfhttps://files.catbox.moe/kidrm7.zip

>>560720783that answers my second question, thanks
>>560721272that's why I'm forgoing crispr and going old school with biolistics
there is something extremely unholy about genetic experimentation.It's worse than the common forms of necromancy they practice today.We need a word to explain how evil it is.When you mess with gods physically you risk awakening their wrath, it happens more often than people realize.Wrestling with your spirit is natural because it's your divine possession, but your body and the world around you is not yours it's God's.It's actually a hidden theme in my game about how various forms of science have upset the gods and destroyed human dominance and the peace of the sleeping universe.

>>560721636we are literally ruled over by demons and you want to cry about offending god
>>560724010>making the game part of the game isn't funbro are you in the right place?you realize that the level design is basically the world that players interact with it's the place their spirit as a gamer will play and express themselves.Maybe you're just thinking about it wrong or burdening yourself.Making a game is a supposed to be fun and the hard part is trying to stop.I dunno at least IMO shipping is the hardest part.
>>560724272I will just simply make a game that doesn't require level design, like incremental game
>>560723406simple, 30k isn't very much at all.racist people on gofundme make more profit than that just cause they had a gamer moment on camera.You would actually just make more money and more consistently just shoveling actual gigantic mega tons of shit.

Also pretty obviously a hyperbole, I mean the fuck the donkey do?It's a pretty big difference between demanding a genocide and sacrificing children at an altar.Not the same thing bro.But I'm glad you point this out because it means the bible guarantees the idea of a just genocide.Also I can't believe you're defending the amalekites. Modern Israel are basically the amalekites, spiritually.I don't see anything wrong with God's command for annihilation.Thousands of children were kill in Japan when the US dropped the bombs and that's something we actually have real record of (unlike the holocaust).What war does not involve the death of the innocent? Do you think god isn't aware of how war works?

>try to find static laws in a dynamically changing systemthis is why people get desperate for a formula.sick people wanna figure out "how to be healthy".poor people wanna figure out "how to be rich".single people wanna figure out "how find a partner".and then everything becomes very goal-oriented because you think you can control this. and therefore we start to filter out everything in life that we don't associate with solving our goal.this is exactly the nostalgia about being a child again. because as a child your orientation in life was more about reacting to life and not about trying to "solve it". e.g. children are very honest when they judge something, because they don't have ulterior motives. (ofc they have to some degree too, but not as extreme as adults)so our life becomes more about trying to stick to made up rules we believe will lead us to our goal, instead of just feeling the moment. and therefore we make ourselves believe we are moving towards our goal, when in fact what we are doing could make things even worse. because we don't know how the combinatorial explosion of reality will play out over time.someone might just be depressed and play games all day and meet new people and suddenly get a job (yeah that blizzard guys story). some try hard to find a job and find none (e.g. academics)i tend to believe nowadays that letting go and just believing in gods plan has better chances of winning that using your low iq brain trying to solve a dynamic complex system with combinatorial explosion.but i don't think this can be a "strategy" to achieve anything. it's just a realization of a true fact, that you don't have control over outcomes. it's not about using this realization to achieve anything, it's more about escaping the total lie that you even have control over outcomes. because it never was true and never will be.

tooldev is probably a role similar to support/healer in games. nobody really wants to do it.think about it e.g. making a walk animation. if someone would fully focus on tooldev. you'd have software that completely helps you with that, with references, with tools etc.but i think everyone wants to be the damage dealer (gamedev), therefore nobody wants to build tools, but everybody wants to build games and make money with them.i think e.g. csg tools for map design is a good example. it'd be really useful for tons of gamedevs, but it doesn't exist or is mostly jank. nowhere near as good as hammer editor.

>>560744039>>560744617Also, much less possibility of the product blowing up if it is a tool instead of a game.And games are business-to-consumers (B2C), not business-to-business (B2B) like tools.
Did he deserve his success?I want to strangle him
>>560745102The average burger flipper earned more money in 4 years.>b-but making games is better than flipping burgersmoron, almost all burger flippers get paid that much and almost no solo/indie devs do. in this jobby the outliers earn burger flipper money.
>>560745861>the jew exclaims
>>560745861Where are you flipping burgers that you get $250,000 in 4 years?The average for burger flipping would be more around 25k to 35k a year, so it's more like 8 years to a decade of burger flipping
>>560745102>Did he deserve his success?Well he worked 4 years for it, so yeah. Not many people can work 4 years on a single project without seeing any returns throughout it.
>>560745102people spend decades looking for that kind of success
>>560746381>Not many people can work 4 years on a single project without seeing any returns throughout it.i'm not even a week in and i feel burnt out, i'm ngmi
>>560745102>adds loli>becomes a hit
>>560746171$250k$225k after sales tax$158k after Steam's cutprobably around $140k after withholding taxes because the dev is in Germany$35k/yearand that's assuming $250k is net revenue after refunds.still not bad and he'll earn a lot more but it's worth keeping in mind that he's in the top 5% most successful and he's still being paid low skill labor money.
>Claude make a car for me in blender>Yes my KingLife is good
>>560746893lol don't use claude for models retard, use a dedicated ai for modeling like meshy
>>560746893I just used another ai tool to create a model from an image but I don't even know if it's usable. It has so many triangles and of course it's one big block with no distinct parts. I think I can make it usable in some way right?
>>560746893>Using Claude :D>Using Claude to make artNOOOO YOU'RE KILLING ARTISTS >:(
>>560747095have the model do the parts you want to be separate, separate
>>560747416I'm using meshy so it spitted out a one block model after giving him the reference image (I'm using the free plan for now). Is tehre an option there to select the parts or should I just uplload the parts separately? I think it should be feasible to select the parts myself on blender right? Also I need to reduce the meshes there's a ton of triangles

>>560749095I think that's what pisses me off the mostIt's not people buying his game because they want to play the game (some are, to be fair), it's a bunch of people seeing the feelgood story and wanting to pile on the feelgood train so they can feel good about themselvesFeels very performative to me

I went to donate platelets this morning and the doctor who gave me the checkup asked me if I made any new games since the last time I was there which was three weeks ago. Then she said I have an awesome job and she envies me. Huh. She's a specialist presumably getting paid specialist money to take blood pressure of entirely healthy people and she thinks my job is great? More importantly, educated people think it takes less than a month to make a game. It took me a month to get a character controller to stop spazzing.
>>560753368The doctor was just being nice probablyHe probably doesn't even know you make sweat shop tier wages to no wages at all lmao
>>560753613
>>560753613i always just say i'm unemployed when asked. saying i'm a developer feels like a lie.
>>560750721Because it's a useless metric that tells nothing about the quality of the final product.It's like saying Concord deserved to be a success just because it stayed 8 years in development hell.

>>560753867>Because it's a useless metric that tells nothing about the quality of the final product....Why should it? Anyone who participates in a contest fairly, follows the rules and doesn't cheat "deserves" to win. Whether they actually win or not is a different story, and depends on other factors. But we're talking solely about "deserving". And anyone who works hard "deserves" at the very least to get some profit off his hard work.
>>560750689Yeesh
>>560754935It was ever so. Used to be "I've got a great idea for a game, if I give you it you make it and we'll split the profits" or "I have a great idea for an app (the great idea is literally Uber) and you make it and we split the profits"
>>560754935lol a friend of my fathers think i am a genius because i can pirate movies
>>560754961no, only the best, the lucky and the nepo babies deserve to win.

>>560756274where is the game part of your game? it's just a shitty bouncing graphic written by AI, fuck you
>>560754961>...Why should it?Because, in the ideal world, whether you make it or not should be a function of the quality of the final product as oppose to being a function of external unrelated factors.>Anyone who participates in a contest fairly, follows the rules and doesn't cheat "deserves" to win.I think we're using the word "deserve" very differently then.According to your logic anyone who graduated high school deserves to be accepted into Harvard.
>>560756463>Because, in the ideal world,Not something we live in, so irrelevant.>According to your logic anyone who graduated high school deserves to be accepted into Harvard.Anyone who *applies* to Harvard *on his own merits*, deserves to be there. Since there are limited spots, obviously not everyone will get there. Someone who got admitted there not by his efforts, but solely through connections or to fill a racial quote does not *deserve* to be there. Yes I do think we use *deserve* differently. I use it from a moral/justice point of view, because that's when people bring up "deserving of": in the context of injustice being present. "He doesn't deserve the gold medal because he did steroids at some point. She doesn't deserve that salary, she just sucked the CEO's dick". etc. etc. If two people of identical skillsets apply to a job position, but there's only 1 slot and the employee literally gets chosen at random, did any of them "deserve" the job more than the other? No, they both deserved it equally, but of course "deserving" something doesn't mean you'll actually get it because we don't live in an ideal world. But from a moral point of view the still both "deserve it".

Claude....my friend.
>>560757583proof you have a game?
>>560757254Okay. You're using the word "deserve" in a completely useless way, then. Simply applying to Harvard does not mean you have demonstrated the qualities that Harvard seeks in its students. Likewise, developing a game, regardless of the time and effort invested, does not necessarily mean you have demonstrated the qualities that merit your success.

>>560745639It was actually the Indie boom and the rise of f2p, I wouldn't say any one sector of video games shrank per se but AAA was doing its own thing in their corner releasing blockbusters rather than being live service focused. But market conditions were also different, you have a lot more essentials tied to subscriptions. You used to top up your Sim card for text messages and calls and surfing mobile sucked so your data plan was pretty much non-existent. I'd spend $30 or so per year on my phone at the most, basically what I'm trying to say is that people have less money to spend and we'll just have to see if they're willing to give up their Netflix and Doordash for games.

Wtf am i supposed to do in life except work a stupid job, play videogames, and goon? I'm not happy but there's genuinely no alternative. I've tried making several indie games but there's just nothing worth making that wouldn't be pointless slop

Why do AI "Artists" have such a superiority complex
>>560776332>Why do AI "Artists" have such a superiority complex
>>560776421>>Why do AI "Artists" have such a superiority complex
>>560776332Everyone has a superiority complex now. In just about every facet of life. Anti AI people think they're superior to the AI sloppers. Everyone thinks they know everything just look at modern politics, this line of thinking of everything in black and white has completely overtaken the public consciousness.
AI's effect is simple: it turns us all into managers. Instead of you making thing, you tell the machine or employee to make thing and then decide if it's good enough and if it fits other things and the game overall. Could an employee make an entire product? Depends, probably. But companies still have managers.I'm like Steve Jobs and AI is like my engineering team.
Should I focus deving for android?I mean, who the fuck download a windows or linux binary in 2027-1?

Well 'shua I have to ask. Why couldn't the gamer just go directly to the AI?
>>560785118>https://gamalytic.com/game/2245620>Gross revenue: $249.7k ($165.3k - $334.2k)Estimating revenue can be complicated, but most of these sites have fairly reasonable estimates, contrary to flopdev propaganda.
what do you think of this game idea:Short 2-3 hour VN/simple rpg without lots of systems set in the future. society is basically a utopia. gene editing is a huge thing and everyone is perfect. but everyone being almost the same makes society too boring so they use their future tech to extract data from ancient remains and imbue newborn perfect children with ancient humans to get a tiny touch of uniqueness. this basically means that every character in-game has the personality and general appearance (except way more sexy looking due to their perfect genetics) of a famous historical figure, but isn't *really* them. they don't have the persons life memories or experiences. so the person with hitlers personality is not automatically evil or knows what the real historical figure did, they're just a high dominance, charismatic, narcissistic, volatile individual. unexplainably, something has gone wrong in the utopia for the first time in centuries and all signs point to sabotage. you're tasked with figuring out what has happened as a detective of sorts, and on the way you encounter and interact with tons of different historical figures like jesus, caesar, cleopatra, napoleon, joan of arc, washington etc
>>560785036don't do it. i hated my art and wanted to kill myself because i sucked but i just kept at it and eventually i sucked less to the point where i got hired to make it. it just takes time. and even if it doesn't happen for you, your value as a human is not determined by what kind of work you can create or not, that's a jewish lie to try and get you to be a slave

>>560785985different anon here, but i'm not really good for much else, i thought i was good at art and then i realized i'm not, i don't really have much going for me as a game dev
>>560788641I want to try my hand it an LOD system that automatically uses POM. So instead of what I'm doing here, which is defining the trees through a shader that reads from a texture, I'll want to actually place high fidelity meshes, and have the system automatically bake a very high definition height and color map. It would then be loaded per-tile depending on how many pixels each tile is taking up on the screen (SVT).I will want, however, to make a game out of it. I already have a texture defining the trees. So I'll either add other things that will then move perhaps through a compute shader, or I'll move the trees themselves and make them the enemy in a surrealist "can't trust nature" game.
what is the general that talks about creating visual novels again?
>>560789173>>>/s4s/
>>560789054nice, good luck. the thing I hated most about doing environment art in UE4 was the LOD system for foliage, you either generate a bajillion textures to use for billboards or use Y meshes that have shit lighting. maybe this can be solved once and for all
>>560743482Actually all my games flopped, but I made money selling tools. Thanks fag
>>560789664lol based
>>560789664Crumble is back

lack of motivation and ideas lately... tried some things yet (cleaning room, taking walks) but nothing worked. guess i'll just try more strategies. next one is just browsing through steam by release date and hunting for inspiration.

I remember how much of a wild selling point it was to me and my Puerto Rican Cousin that in Sonic Adventure 2 you could play as both the Good guys AND the Bad Guys.
i have been staring at my project for literally 2 months getting essentially no progress done because,i just dont know what to do with it
i've browsed through 20 steam trailers of newest released games and only in 1 i even understood what the gameplay is. the rest was just a random series of 3D or 2D animations and i have no idea what i just saw.
>>560792328it's just one funny little enemy at a time. one foot in front of the other. here's a demon knight with a mace.

i often feel the urge to make a youtube channel for myself. like just recording myself analyzing other games. theorycrafting etc.like seriously just a channel about trying to make it.not for clicks and likes, just for having an outlet where i can try to achieve a goal.but then i wonder why i'd do that in public. i guess the ulterior motive would be finding like-minded devs who also think deeply, analyze etc.
>>560793232Yeh. I just thought "What if an otter had blades for feet."So now it can spin around like Sonic. Very amusing
why do you try to come up with ideas when there are 200k+ ideas on steam and you just have to browse through them and pick the ones you like or find interesting?

>>560763641From medical schools with entry limits, residency placement caps, to certificates of need limiting how many hospitals can be built in an area, what competition exists is within the extremely narrow and highly structured limits of a self-serving protectionist system. Being at the top of your field doesn't mean you outcompeted everyone in the world, it's like being the performer of a private club that is highly selective of who can participate in the first place. You can argue that the entrance into that private club is competitive but it's not at all comparable to an open market where anyone and everyone can compete.
