How do I make a game?
>>560470130Ask AI
>>560470228Which one?
>>560470268Claude or ChatGPT or Gemini. Any will do really.
What do you do if you see yourself walking down the long trodden path of lolcow developers but seem unable to leave?Are some people just cursed?
Is it really a good idea to basically rip off a tutorials code while barely understanding how it works?
>>560470837yes
>>560470837Depends on your goals.
Any schizos in the chat can help me decipher what the universe/God means by this?>Have no love life, basically be a bitter incel for most of my life due to shitty childhood that made me hate people and not trust anyone. Still not a complete sperg so I can hide my bitterness and not be a total reject socially and get some friends>Start at a new job>I suck at reading girls but this one girl is clearly interested in me and a few days ago she invited me to hang out just the two of us after work. First female attention in years>But this girl has the same name and the exact same fucking appearance as the girl from my childhood who cucked me with my best friend and then made every friend I knew at that time reject me.>That event basically started the whole downward spiral of my life during the following yearsIt's not the same girl because the one at work is a little older than me and the one from childhood was same age as me.I do like this girl, she's very sweet. But I'm worried the universe is trying to trick me and will repeat the exact same thing and make me lose my job or something. Am I just being retarded? If the exact same thing happens again I know I will actually go insane and either kill myself or try to kill as many people as I can Game development
>>560470837no, go to a dominatrix and have her fart in your face so you can properly learn how programming works
>>560471408LMAO thank you
>>560471429meant for >>560471408
>>560471386well I'd like to make it a real game that gets released. I'm an artist, not much of a programmer. I want to make a physics based plane controller but it's very complicated
>>560471839post game

>>560470615>Stop taking hallucinogenics of any and all kinds>Improve your intake of media and socializing, social defeat stress is the no.1 cause of further dysfunction >Make small games and release them>Have friends and a life outside of your game>Remember that there is no cabal keeping you down you have to fight against>and if there is, it's because you're being kept away from healthy people as a social antivirus >Go do the boring things like lift weights and socialize >Make the world you wish to see
>>560472096liar, i tried to sext you on gedg and you balked
I lost my job. Fuck my life
>>560473220Pong?
>>560471958I haven't made it yet. I want to make it but my biggest barrier is code
man, this is great.much better than godot, lmao.
>>560469992>AIgger makes the thread>adds plenty of stuff already linked in the AGDG Resources>all of them are the most basic stuff>someone asks how to start>the only answer is: ask AIunironical AI dedicated threads are way more technical than this neverdev babble
>>560474614if you think that's better than godot, unity, unreal, or even game maker then I have some really bad news for you.... you're never gonna make it
>>560474834It's better because I can design it to be not a general engine, but a super specialized one.Which allows for a bunch of things general engines cant make.
>>560474834>or even game makergamemaker is fantastic for 2D stuff and I'm tired of pretending it's not
This thread isn't good for my AI Derangement SyndromeAka AIDS
>>560474682when someone asks something as vague as 'how to start?' it is basically an AI conversation at that point until it narrows down.Why pass up such a useful technology?
>>560478957even after it narrows down. AI is still useful. So I apologize for even saying 'until it narrows down'.AI is just good.
Making my own engine is like making my own clothes and shoes, perfectly suited to my own tastes and likes.A general engine is like buying one, It can get the job done, but is like having a shoe that always have a feeling of pain in some area.
I hate everything
Why nobody has made 3D rigs made of sprites, like 3D versions of spriter pro rigs, but where each sprite section changes based on camera angle, like doom enemies?
>>560481705Why?
>>560481843It would be faster than making an AAA 3D model.
I can't get into the zone
>>560482101I guess it is faster to make AAA 3D model than the AAA 3D sprite rig
>>560483247An AAA 3D model can take easily a week to make.
>>560483501And AAA sprites can't? Also 3D model is much easier to animate, AAA or not.
How many here have basically brute forced learning 3d modeling? I legit feel like I can't continue with my game because I'm not an artist at all. So instead of giving up its time for me to just slam my head at blender until I can make thicc goblin and dwarf bitches (male) for my multiplayer mining game that definitely wont have a controversial name.
>>560483751i can't fucking figure out blender. over-complicated shit. too many hotkeys
>>560483751I learned the basics 20 years ago. I'm a perpetual beginner in blender, I can't deal with all these secret hidden methods to do basic shit. if I was able to just model for a year I'm sure I'd get it down but I'm doing everything all at once.
>>560483751Why are you calling it miners sexo
>>560483751I am a pretty good 3d artist. Look man. Art is hard. I'm convinced people that are wired to be artists are paying some penitence for something in a past life. I suggest just paying or learning sculpture and be a real one
>>5604817053d will always be superior to 2d in this realm. To be clear, you have provided an image of an 8 directional sprite. If you want to change your character radically due to a new idea/art style change/any of the normal evolutions that happen to an idea over time, you are looking at:>Modify one model>Modify 8 sprites, at best 4 if you're mirroringOften cited in support of 2d is that it's easier to draw which simply isn't true, maybe in the 90s but technology now really favors 3d.If I wanted an 8 directional sprite, I'd prerender it from a model before I made 8 copies of a vtuber facing different directions.Try it and for a month of so you'll feel like you're really onto some esoteric wisdom, but after 2 months or so into your project you'll become increasingly frustrated as minor things become massive undertakings.
>>560483501A AAA character model takes way more than a week to make unless you count using assets or pre-made tools like metahuman, then it might be faster. It's probably at least a month to two months, maybe faster if you have a full team.
>>560485028Does it cost a lot to commission 3d models for games? I haven't looked into anything like that at all yet. I'm going low poly of course but I have a vision that definitely requires custom stuff vs using assets (at least where I can). Im familiar with how much live 2d models can go for, but I have no knowledge of the 3d game asset commission market.
what if you generate some AI model then edit it
>>560483643my idea is basically a 2D puppet in 3D.
'dites lost.
>>560485903if you dont know how to 3d model you dont know how to edit models
>>560486492seems like it should be easier to figure out how to modify an existing model than to make one from scratch though
>>560485370yeah it can be expensive because it takes a lot of time. ps1 style is your best bet cost wise
proggy
>>560486579Honestly not really.Only thing I struggle with is making the head that I extrude the body from
>>560486491>>560486720i dont get it
Was there some easy way to rig and animate models? I think it was rigify and a site that has free animations but I can't remember, been a while since I tried to model

Seeing beginners give each other advice is always funny. It makes me feel contempt seeing people act so confident and qualified to give advice at something they don't even know they're bad at.
give gamers what they want
>>560478306>>560469887
>>560487470then help them
>>560478957>don't find information by your own>don't even think>just ask AI what to do
>>560487527ew...
>>560488076I didn't say not to think.If you want to make things harder on yourself by scrounging stack overflow and reddit then that's your choice.It is possible to use AI as a textbook.
>>560471408I thought about this for a bit and I think you should get yourself together and try to be assertive with her and see what happens. Right now she's in a kind of power position, being the one who always invites you and talks to you. You should try things like "come see me after work" or "let's talk a bit" and so on. Really all I'm saying is be assertive and that's it. If her attitude changes after that, you could figure out if she's geniune or just the same girl trying to ruin you again. Or literally just ask her if she's that same girl. And yes, game development.
>>560485903AI generated models have horrendous topology making them a no go for simply modifying them. You can just retopologize them to give you usable geometry though and zbrush's zremesher works really well even for characters. Its not perfect but its like 95% of the way there.

I hate Blender's insistence on not stashing all the animations properly.
>>560487965I don't want to help people who are not humble and thankful, they would take the info and not even say thank you. People like that don't deserve my help. Such people will never amount to anything meaningful in their life anyway until they become better people so putting effort towards helping them isn't worth it.
>>560488981very wise, very humble
>>560488623Whoops sorry I entirely missed the>It's not the same girlBut I think my point still stands
>>560488981That's kinda rude to assume someone who's starting out wouldn't appreciate help.
>>560489339You assume I haven't already given feedback to people for years and learned that most people do not appreciate it even when they themselves request it. The only ones I give feedback to nowadays are people who at least are intermediates and somewhat know what they're doing and can understand it instead of dismissing it.

Sometimes I wonder if we don’t succeed because we aren’t ambitious enough and aren’t willing to pour enough time and effort into something with legitimate vision, passion, and organization behind it
>>560495701NO WAY you're telling me nortubel is actually an amatuerish shit project with no vision and just based around sistercon porn addiction?!
>>560495781Who’s nortubel?What I’m saying is that nobody here is willing to truly sit down and work for the long haul.Boku clearly lost interest, cris keeps spinning his wheels, but nobody here seems to want to sit down and say “I have a vision and I will accomplish it and put something truly my own into the world.”
>>560495701i have set the scope for my game so small that it's too short and monotonous to be commercially viable. you are correct. i'm afraid of the pain i will experience when i spend a year or more working on something and it ultimately bombs.

Dammit
>>560496836Adding a loli helped
agdg in 2026
>>560501365No it didn't the point is that he was going to cry and thanks to his dedicated fanbase blow up on the algorithm since early engagement is very important, it literally could've been any game. Another loli game (CUFFBUST) flopped bigly despite having 200k wishlists.
>>560502115>agdg in 2026
>>560485370honestly AI generated 3d model have stagnated since mid 2025im starting to think it's just not possible for AI to make good 3d model with good topology at an affordable compute cost, yes even the chinese shit so maybe it's time to bite the bullet and learn bl*nder....
>>560502175>Another loli game (CUFFBUST)

I haven’t had much time to work on my game lately after announcing my presidential campaign. Have you guys made much progress lately?

>>560496836He made 30k in a couple of days from release. He was going to do good regardless
>>560496836you guys are missing the main thing: he has a loving woman by his side. that's a sign from the universe that you're destined for good things.
>>560511681Not really, if you check the charts his game plateau'd before the reddit whine posts went viral, just like Renee's game. It's the same pattern: pitybaiting liberal redditors is a humiliation ritual that works.
>>560497918Anyone else thinking of dropping Godot for Crismaker?
>>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 shower (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.
>>560469992i saw wasteland bites dev brag that he already won because his demo did relatively well, what happens if its another CUFFBUST situation?
>>560514207once a minute? you want to torture your players? just give them a spectrum of potion that reduce that effect based on rarity for a few minutes, this shit is never fun
>>560514342my main decision is actually between water barrels and cold showers, drink option is the least intersting now

>>560469992That image just screams "artificial stupidity".Is modern LLM AI about being intelligent, or about faking intelligence?
>>560520864whats wrong with it? it looks coherent you just hate the cyberpunk theme
>>560521086Nice bait, but just for the sake of pointing some of it out.
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.
>>560521240the rimlight or the lineart? i dont find it egregious
>>560521576Cris after all these years you still blame your tools and not your methodology?
This one has more replies so I'm assuming this is the thread. Submissioms are OPEN! There will be two rounds this time. As of now the submissions are open for regular trailers, but starting May 1st, devs can double dip (or anyone who wants to be a part of this) by submitting a gameplay clip for our rapid fire section! An example can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FnSXcSuFWqpPQpYgZng1Vi2fDSYarscZ/view?usp=sharing To sign up your game, use this form (which will be on our site at a later date) https://forms.gle/BrM7MR3a4hZn4VNYA until May 23rd. And read the requirements here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MT78rxUFBo99IHYw7pW84Rc7B9cZWMBlJUKikfWabOw/edit?usp=drivesdk So far we've had three games submitted and we already see some very interesting submissions this year! And don't forget we are attempting a Steam expo page so sign up sooner rather than later so we can get a list to send to Valve.
>>560522430Thank you zukjeet but as a "flopdev" you wouldn't want my game anyway so I won't submit it.
>>560522127Use your brain, if you aren't an LLM.
>>560522591I'm not Zuckjeet or whatever other name you assign me. Besides if I didn't want "flop games" I wouldn't have opened up a separate section for games that are already released that are looking for a bump in sales.
>>560522656lol what? you're nitpicking on an image that looks fine, even if im not a fan of the subject matter im not gonna pretend like it's shit, you only hate it because it comes from a machine and not a leftoid shartist
why are there 2 threads? what do i do now?
>>560522430i want to support your show but youre an annoying shitposter
>>560522430Is this a blackmail scheme?
>>560485370It can be expensive or it can be dirt cheap depending on who you are dealing with, how poor the artist is, and how complex your requirements are.Are you on the discord? I will make you low poly models (for money) provided you gather a few examples of what you want the assets to look like.With finite resources you would do well to find generic assets in your style that are cheap/free and then only commission items that you cannot cover otherwise.
How do you come up with an iconic looking character for your game. I want the main character to be a Wall-E style robot but how do I make it original.
>>560500203I should have worded it better. Yes I have a wife who is a popular artist. I know that commissions are expensive. I should have asked a direct price comparison vs just saying "is it expensive" so my bad. Like, do they range from 300-600 USD (cheaper end for what I know of 3d modeling) or is this something in the 5k-10k range?
>>560522837AI, I'm not going to do your thinking for you. But I can give you a hint.Also, I care about quality here, not the source.
>>560523068Well first off you're not supporting me You're supporting the devs that participate in the show. Take the namefag out of the show You still have the show and all the incredible people that work on it and the devs that participate. So think of me however you want but don't let that turn away from supporting your fellow anon.
>>560523248To answer this question accurately you would need to include some idea of what is being commissioned. A model could range from a janky segmented ps1 style with visible seams and a stretched PNG face, to a fully rigged face with visemes and corrective shape keys.
>>560523218If the game is iconic, the character will be iconic. The amogus is a great example of this. Very similar designs have been done a few times in the past. Off the top of my head, Shantae is like an example of an opposite though. The games are great but the character designs are definitely the selling point of that series since the beginning. For like, friend slop. I feel like anything works at this point. Start with an idea of how you want character creation to go. If you just want something simple like color changes and adding props, then very simple like amogus is the way to go. You could literally just start off with a base similar to EVE for a game and it would work very well. For anything story driven, big thing is give something a human element. If its not the design, its the personality, but give it the ability to showcase emotions somehow. Wall-E is iconic because of his eyes and his personality, not the rest of the frame (sadly). Come up with a lore reason as to why your robot has the particular frame they have, and then see where you can fit human like features. Shit even just a single eyebrow on an amogus would give them so much more personality.

why do devs never talk about just how bad it is to find games you like on steam? the discovery queue is absolute dogshit, arbitrarily limited to only 12 tags, shows only popular games instead of relevant games to your tastes, and it doesn't show games older than 4 months for some reason.there is also another way to browse the FULL steam catalogue, is by inputting an empty search query on the steam store, and then browsing games with as many tags filtered as you want but that still has the problem of forcing you to judge games based on tiny fucking capsules, and to see the screenshots you have to individually hover over each gamelike this is the big problem. i can't tell if the games i would like to play simply don't exist or they do and i just can't find them. you literally have to rely on external means of finding games. for a store that holds at least a 70% monopoly over digital distribution, it shouldn't be this fucking bad
>>560523248Pricing for 3D models can vary a lot depending on what you need. Could you share more details about the model? For example:• What kind of model is it (character, prop, environment, etc.)?• Style (realistic, stylized, low-poly, etc.)• Intended use (game, animation, 3D print, etc.)• Level of detail / polycount• Do you need texturing, rigging, or just the base model?Once I know the details I can give a more accurate price estimate.
>>560522837It's not the technical aspects of the art he's talking about anon, it's a common sense matter concerning what is pictured:The cyber punk man has a bespoke notch cut into his shirt to reveal a blue light. On the skin alone, this type of thing would still look cliche, but to put a shirt on over top of your cyber punk glow-spotted skin and cut around the lights so they still accent you as a cyber-guy stands out immediately as dumb to the viewer.

Has developed paused on the village defense simulator where two sisters use an onager to direct artillery fire against ladybugs that are attacking their garden, but the bugs are also rapists and everyone is wearing traditional South American garb? Also one sister is white and the other is brown. Really promising game but haven't heard from the dev since...

>>560526568no cute girl / 10
>>560525621I wonder if CEO would shut down AIs if they knew what people like cris are doing with the compute.
>>560525621what AI are you using mate?
Anyone know how to edit music here? I'm trying to edit some existing one into horror music by turning the pitch down with audacity, the result sounded fine to me, but for some reason it made my head hurt just from hearing it.
>>560523846gaben, bust this niggas cuffs
Man, It's so easy now to just replace the sprites and everything works fine, 99.9% easier than godot, lmao.>>560526915gemini.
what if I asked ai to make a game engine inside of Unity
where's her game cris?
>>560527234Didn't gemini add some insane limits?
Will he replicate his success or was it luck?
>>560527554dunno, never got them.
>>560527554he make games so he must have a lot money
>>560527605Who? Also im out of the loop (im a chopped unc okay kid?) but are people unironically calling their games xslop?
>>560527626he makes -$2 per month from gamedev
>>560503381I don't think it's impossible I think it's impossible at a decent price with good topology, I tried all of them and they're dogshit for production, you can see people use AI for 2d and voices and do well but never for 3d, + I think the industry cares more about video gen than 3d model gens.
We wuz mario maker and shit, chuds.

what if you don't try to find meaning in gamedev, but you do gamedev to create meaning? it sounds the same, but the intention is different. you don't try to find meaning in gamedev because "it is meaningful", but you do it to "create a meaning" out of nothing basically. to fill the void.so it becomes a vehicle to create meaning and not something you "consume for meaning".
>>560527770Zoomers used the slop suffix so much it lost the negative connotation and has become a catch-all. Like how x-fag is used here.
I'm going to Japan to learn the art of game design and find a cute Japanese girlfriend.
Do you have a story
>>560533409love yourself first nigga
>>560532936Game Dev is the art of creating meaning.
>>560533603My story is that you are a player who is having fun playing the game. I aped it from Tetris
The pain of existing
>>560469992ProgressPlaying with slop, works much better than before. I'll have to get back to polishing gameplay soon.
>>560534282the only moral way for a conscious being to exist is as a God. Everything else is right hand path gas lighting.
>>560534685That's how you end up with reincarnation
>>560534548I did something like this image in Iceland. Stood at the edge of a cliff.
>>560503721Is local code gen getting better?
>>560534825You're literally him
>>560534780The majority of the world believes doctrines which say to kill off the self and to dissolve into 'src'. East and West. All the Same. Eternal Individuation. My immediate conscious viewpoint IS the SRC.
"The Code. When a Programmer Codes, all the code serves the heckin' frame. It's just the Frame that exists.The Programmer codes to the frame.That's how Time is. It's just an illusionThe Code."
>>560535028No that's new age prote nonsense>just believe anything you want man it's all the sameAll European and Abrahamic religions believe in a distinct plane of existence as an afterlife and even Nirvana is something of that nature as it's the ultimate non existence of existing outside of existence.
Me use Ai my think good
>>560535454The New Agers I heard believe the same 'we are all God from different angles' collective consciousness right hand path stuff.I'm talking about each spirit being an Eternal and Separate Sovereign God.Also, I came to my conclusions by philosophy and also morality.
>>560535598Again, the logical conclusion of that thought is reincarnation. Because an all powerful being existing outside of time would have the capability to renounce his godhood and memories. And if he has the capability there's a possibility, and if it's an ultimate being existing time all possibilities are infinite making it inevitable.
>>560535942As long as it is from free choice sovereign will. Each God being separate.
I prefer having hope and optimism than experience, but I've exchanged one for the other.
>>560536075If they weren't they couldn't be separate or individual and if they couldn't separate they wouldn't be all powerful
We now have HD sprites implemented now in my editor, chuddies.:)

>>560539753I'm not scared of you coward
>>560539618Lookin at it chummyHere is repohttps://codeberg.org/FroggyGreen/rooster/commits/branch/trunkExpecting a game with less than 2 weeks of work is pretty silly. Okay I need to rest now I work tonight.
>>560533780>Game Dev is the art of creating meaning.yeah, this makes it both easy (cause its arbitrary) and hard (cause there's no formula) at the same time.
>>560539919>>560539481this fucking tranny nodev still posting here LOL
>>560539919oh i didnt even notice the name, carry on lil schizo
suicide is similar to quitting a game. it means the world is so meaningless that someone wants to leave it.people would rather die than keep playing.
real life is a sandbox game where you can create your own quests and build your own stories and build your own houses and build your own relationships and build your own hobbies and activities.if you are rich enough.
>>560540310>>560540431damn, i cant imagine having some facebook motivation .jpeg philosophy
my life is a constant cope about the fact that games are 95% art (animations, 2D ui art, 2D textures, 3D models, shaders, vfx etc.)although i constantly notice how many artists are releasing beautiful games with absolute shit gameplay and lack of cool mechanics cause they can't code anything beyond "if you click A, B happens".ideally we'd see more collaboration, but as we all know collaboration only really works with funding and paying everybody like employees.so without a wave of investors, there wont be collaboration. programmers will make ugly ass games with cool mechanics and artists will make beautiful games with boring ass gameplay. that's the future.
i dev to cope with poverty, not to escape poverty.
posting some earlier progress. I just like the video desu.Game will be similar to a 3D Dwarf Fortress. SVO Voxel Raymarched.Working on Terrain Streaming today.
one of the biomes in the game will be called 'Foggy Bilge' or 'Bilge Fog'. A biome of fog and salty sea port towns.
>>560536302ok now implement automatic tiling
>>560540953how many hours you have in df
>>560541236I've only mainly played Legends mode. So generating a world and then reading through the stats and history of it. But yeah, good point , I probably should play it more.
"good" as a standalone metric basically means the same as "boring".
>>560541373tbf, I did say 'similar'. I'm putting my own spin on it. I'm not actually trying to copy Dwarf Fortress, it's just that Dwarf Fortress is a good shorthand for certain aspects I will include in my game.
I won't make it in time. Fuck me :(. Already fucked up the last drawing.
>>560541373>>560541636not having a lot of playtime can be a good thing, it allows for innovation
somehow i lost interest in my project once i got too specific about the systems, yet completely unspecific about the gameplay.it's like deciding to use voxels before deciding for the genre. and now you try to put a car racing game into a voxel world.
>>560541785That makes sense. I've gotten that thought in the back of my mind when considering reading fiction novels. This game is going to be very innovative.
>>560541887you ungerstand that car racing in a voxel world can just be solved through diagonally halved ramp blocks right?
>achievements in 2026 be like

is it really worth it to create some oop spaghetti just to avoid unused variables in an item system?
>>560542638it's not a voxel then, that's like saying you can get rid of jaggies by just cutting a line through the pixels
>>560544324Unless you use Pedot nobody will ever see your source code anyways
>>560544340it is still a voxel.That's like saying a Minecraft Stair Block is not a voxel. Or a half slab is not a voxel.I mean, we're not going to go down that route here. That's just INSANITY

Idk about you but for me it's still Eric. Just sayin

>>560549648killing bad people is a good thing and should be glorified, actually
>>560549648Killing people has been glorified for all of time, no political system functions without the justified killing of its enemies.Forcing your pisser into another man's rear end and peeing cum all over his poop inside his guts and getting pee and cum and poop and blood all over your dick and needing modern medicine to prevent this from giving you crippling crotch rot diseases has never been glorified or required for any political system up until the modern Liberal Democracy which doesn't appear like it will remain much longer.

Would your game get a 90s Nintendo seal of quality?
>>560558809my game got on itch.ionuff said
>>560554640This was actually a joke in one book from the 90s, Snow Crash, and then repeated in the pseudo-sequel, Diamond Age. Basically everything gets some kind of wrap in the real world, nanotech filaments made into a form fitting thing (dedicated e girls and Indians just got them tattooed into their skin since they're always online anyway) so the object can be grey boxed into a game, then overlaid at runtime to change what it looks like in games, movies, etc. Entertainment became set up and tear down affairs, where indie teams became people playing with literal grey boxes and you could pause movies to yell at the ractors (reactive actors) if you didn't like the way your movie was going.

>>560563990
One more thing though — and this is a very weird design trick that works especially well in action games:There’s a mechanic that can make players feel like they’re improving dramatically, even if their skill hasn’t actually changed much.It’s a psychological trick used in rhythm games and fighting games.If you're curious, I can explain it.

updating boss levels now to behave similar like the new bokube demo boss level; segments are added where boku has to damage the boss with a sword puzzle cube but it has different attacks than that bird boss. Updating their art on these boss levels too while im at it. There are 9 bosses in the game and only this 2nd boss out of 9 needs the most work as the rest are pretty good already I suspect after this forest frog boss the other 7 bosses to touch up will be fast and then I can get back to the very last lore and bug related tasks before having a 1.0 for Bokube. I paid my bills for the month and a winter storm hit us that made my boss want to take off for 2 weeks so I think im good to post everyday on agdg for the next 2 weeks/rest of this month constantly so we will see.
>>560567081s&box is hopeless unfortunately. I really like source but this is just a mess.
>>560576508You sure? These look plenty smooth to me.
>>560577661what's messy about it
pretty happy how now I have a second editor to edit data of the first one I made.
>>560578414it's like gmod but much more buggy and shit, also has like 0.05% of the player pop
>>560562493she cute
>>560556278vector graphics game with the bears. i put the renderer in a separate thread. took me a while to figure out that the scene graph has to update before the render thread is forked each loop. doing it the wrong way corrupted my render queue which led to some crazy things happening like models swapping at random.
>>560578414the editor is trash, nobody can even make something proper with it have you seen the games they're all cookie clicker clones and jank as fuck unfinished slop clone games from roblox but significantly worse. these guys may have cooked with rust but this is an utter waste of time and money of a project
>>560554403Glad I woke up to this

>>560579461I'm a psuedodev actually. That was a quick fucking response. Were you waiting for me to wake up?

>>560561641then at least replace the graphics so it doesnt look like a shitty ss13 mod, the player just slides around everywhere without animations
>>560554403This is absolute faggotry
>>560578268a lot of the places where branches connect are really round and not that realistic. I'm not gonna argue with you though. Do what you have to do

>>560577174didn't find the close match that I was recalling. during my search I found tons of artists doing this about 8 years ago. must have been trendy
>>560579882So it's a matter of slightly more jagged edges?
>>560580119and?
>>560577407can't wait to play this with dlss5
>>560554403>Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology. >The use of two GPUs is requiredBruh getting one 5090 is basically impossible right now and this needs TWO?
>>560580192you just have to use control loops to control the transitions between branches and the trunk. A tree could also use a few jagged edges and sharp angles
>>560580268i'm just one guy
>>560580342>two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology
>>560580449and? do you have a mental disability like cris or something?
>it doesn't work
>>560580584you're black
>>560580797
>it doesn't work>it never worked>it only seemed to work
>>560580427I used some very slight random proportionate editing and a decimate modifier to give it a more jagged appearance, but that didn't really work out. I can't really go back to skin-mode after solidifying it like this
>>560581097for the future you should duplicate models before you do that so you have something to go back to.
>>560581243Yeah, that's fair
>dlss5>it works
>>560581964You've ruined Arisu.
>>560581964Based
6 centimeter voxels. SVO Raymarched.
>>560575483Looks interesting, just wish they made it easier to swap in your own assets and polish things. Thats the only gripe i have with AIfags. They act like you're trying to crack open a fucking blackbox when thats not how gamedev works. You have to actually develop the game with some effort from yourself at some point.
>>560581964I miss arisuposting
>>560576303It depends on if you want to feel good about yourself. I don't AI my assets because I like the feeling that I did something
I'm doing well.

People are unlikely to get much useful advice from this general. Most of the people who you would want answering questions are busy with their game, so you have all the newbies and people who can’t make games doompostingThat doesn’t mean that’s always the case, but it’s a fairly accurate generalization of the general
>>560587978what a first worlder take lmao
How do I fix this?

>>560588982im joshua's uncle btw
got ai to extract a character from a 1920's illustration and make it t-pose, also got it to make a wireframe image but it's pretty fucked. but the actual reference image is very usable as a reference in blender

>>560592953grok, just tell it too remove everything except the character and then tell it to t-pose it facing the camera

>>560595178True. But we're on such high fake and gay levels that I'm longing for real.
>>560595178This. Anons keep getting mad whenever I drop genuine TRVKES. Nothing baits rage more than pure facts.
My engine will be a combination of 2D figher maker editor combined with 2D fighter maker 2002 FMS editor combined with fighter factory, but also map features from rpg maker, but also use mugen states scripting language but pack them as gdevelop behaviours.And basically the player select behaviours in the front end, but in the backend, they're just a component system.LOL!!!!

Honestly thinking about game dev again. Not sure if I should do unity or godot.
>>560596119Download both right this moment and do the getting started tutorial in both.
>>560595518There's telling the truth and then there's just whatever the fuck it is you're doing. I know you.
>>560594113They're not very good, but they're mine and that's what counts in my opinion
>>560596946Facts don't care about your feelings.
>>560597058My AI visuals are mine. I prompted them.
>>560597114I’m fixing it the same way: sticky server-side reconnect telemetry, so the validator proves a reconnect event instead of hoping it catches the exact frame.
how would you save and load a players inventory, in godot
>>560597114>FactsYou have never once stated a fact. The literal only things you hand out are empty platitudes meant to make you feel superior to other people, all while refusing to post any of your own work.You're quite literally this guy, and that is a fact.https://youtu.be/1sOYgM0bk5g?t=11
>>560597367Why do you keep asking us instead of your AI? What are you a luddite or something?
>>560597639I prefer conversing with real people about my hobbies and interests, if possibleI realize that this is a futile effort now that more and more bots and "chat bot copy pasters" are filling up internet forums, but alas
>>560597367claude
>>560597367just use a dictionary for the item data and serialize it to a json file or use the built in var_to_bytes for something slightly more compact. you create a dedicated autoload for the inventory manager that handles the dictionary during runtime and then use the fileaccess class to dump that data into a user folder path whenever you need to save. for loading you just check if the file exists with fileaccess and then parse the data back into your dictionary structure so your ui can rebuild the slots. don't overcomplicate it with custom resources unless you actually need the inspector integration because simple key value pairs for id and quantity are usually enough for most projects.
>>560597750This is true.
>>560596490I did just that but I might go with unity even though I don't remember it having this very fucking gay hub middleware
>>560596490i don't have a pc :(
>>560597367using jsons. there's also resourcesaver but i haven't used it much to know shit about it.
>>560596119I'd just go with Godot since they can't fuck you over later if they change the terms of service like Unity can. Although a potential downside is I think I heard that it's more complicated to port your Godot game to the big 3 consoles than if you'd use Unity
https://youtu.be/8yREsJO5w0w?t=6I hear this as the thread
>>560598252I don't particularly care about the big 3 consoles.They're just shitty laptops and android tablets in my eyes right now as opposed to when they ACTUALLY had some unique things going for them two gens ago.Two games from here actually made me wanna get into gamedev
>>560597367An Inventory is nothing more than a 2D array or 1D array of custom objects.Something like:Object : [ penis_id = 0, vagena_touched = 5, coin_for_hookers = 500, icon = "vagene killer".png]Inventory : Array[Object] = []func Save_Inventory(): var invetory_tmp = Json.serialize(Inventory) Json.Write(inventory_tmp, "inventory_saved".json)func Load_Inventory(path): var inventory_tmp = Json.parse_file(path) Inventory = inventory_tmp
Why doesn't anyone talk about mobile games here?
>>560599656A lot of anons think they're above them or that the mobile game market is too hard to break into but its funny because there's increasingly little difference between PC gaming and mobile gaming.
>>560599656Mobile devs NEED to spend money on player acquisition. There's no way around it. Steam games can make it big with just organic social media marketing.
>>560599951You can use organic social media marketing for mobile games though? It might even work better than marketing PC games because the game most likely will be in a vertical format which is ideal for short form videos.
>>560598691Yeah there's basically no reason to own one if you have a gaming PC, but porting your game to consoles could potentially boost sales. I'd at least make sure your game is playable on Steamdeck since that's probably a really easy port
>>560600158It's really not the same. PC gamers are willing to pay for premium games, while mobile games have to be F2P w/ MTX. This allows PC devs to make very small and reasonably scoped self-contained experiences, which are good for content creators, who will organically spread a game's visibility. (IDK how google/youtube found out, but I just got recommended this video.)
>>560598823>vagena_touched
>>560598823>nothing more than a 2D array or 1D arrayyou already lost me
I'm unstoppable, success begets success
>>560597367at the end of the day the answer is "you write it all to a file">custom writer/reader with a simple format like each item to one line, the line contains all relevant info like "ItemId Count ExtraMetadata">custom writer/reader that stores stuff in json format (or yaml or whatever)>a function that puts all your data into a dictionary and then to_json()'s it, and you load by writing a function that pulls all your data out of the same dictionary after parse_json()ing it. again, you write the json to a file
i give upi cant do this

>>560607176maybe it's poor because of people like you who act like negative nancies, ever think of that?

>>560613158>steam couldn't care less about all the malware being uploaded to their platform because they're a monopolywhat's crazy is how nobody is alarmed by this. it's not like the FBI just uncovered this. there already was controversy about some malware game on steam in 2025, and plenty even way before that.like wtf is going on in steamies heads? valve's neglect of quality control on the steam store has reached such a severe point that there is literal malware on the store that the fucking FBI has to investigate and yet steamies act as if valve are the good guys.
my game is malware for the soul
https://x.com/VLONEPREDATOR/status/2033719965220802699is he right? gamercunts would rather have another vampire survivors clone than unique game, they are cattle
>>560613271It's not different from any other storefront or website, anything that features ads store cookies on your devices and there are no controls for which ones install malware or not you just have to blindly trust. Most common malware is Windows since it periodically ransomwares your computer into installing updates, install popups on your computer and tries to log any information it can at every opportunity. But somehow the FBI doesn't have a problem with that
imagine how cool it would be to be able to have your own 2D OpenGL game engine back in 2001, back then even game like pic related was a hit, all you had to do was to post it on some gamedev forum

>>560620413I can barely force myself to work 5 hours a day as it is. I'm usually awake by 6am and I consider it a success if I start working by 11 and my "5 hours of work a day" usually stretches until 9pm.>>560620782I'm not wasteland bites dev, but I have a few Steam games and I know how it goes. The 170 days "deadline" is my best guess at when my money will run out and I'll need to have a job. In all honesty my chances of success are so low that I'll almost certainly need to find a job anyway. The deadline is there just to have an aiming point and not get carried away with features and polishing and content.

>>560611743I know you won't take this advice because you're a homeless retard all-in-on-my-pixel-art-dream faggot but you would be better off not posting your game here if your goal is to make a legitimate & commercially viable product.Most devs strictly post their game in the cord where it won't be buried under 200 rapid fire shitposts and eceleb vitriol. There, at least, the people who you're speaking with are also participating in the hobby rather than orbiting around it.Even the devs who do post here are double-dipping like that Azure (homo) because he's a desperate attention seeker and it just isn't enough to have six people say the same thing to him about the latest line he's drawn. Posting your game here best case scenario has a true, real live mentally ill nodev, typically with some kind of deep seeded sexual perversion they incorporate into everything, saving your images and videos and then pretending to be you later.I have had four of my posts saved and impersonated here and one modified with AI which looked retarded, you are only serving to entertain freaks.The discord is also gay and retarded but at least they make game.

>>560629998"Hey AI i want you to do something retarded, REEE shut the fuck up i know better do as i say make no mistakes i want this game one shot REEE why are you fucking taking so long LOOK you got this part wrong you faggot i told you to do THIS (this is wrong)"
>>560629998that's because you used gemini. claude is superior. still babysitting it at times, but you'd be amazed at what you can achieve compared to gemini

I've slowly shifted to just letting Claude write shit. I used write 100%, then ask for reviews, then one day it just spit out a replacement that was a straight upgrade over what I wrote, while maintaining the programming intent, then I used Claude Code in the ide for faster review, then writing alongside, and now it's like 90/10 Claude Code and me. I have to admit that it pretty much always does what I want, and that 10% where I write is just from reading the diff and making my own edits, then telling it what I'm changing. It feels like having a coworker who is just way better than me at the job. Shit just feels weird when it works, I still have the impression that it just shouldn't. Which leads me to ask: is there anyone who started out day 1 with AI code? Has anyone ever just gone full send, telling the AI "I need this code for this effect in the game," letting it run, and just testing what comes out? ... Does it work?
>>560631832i was using chatgpt to write pull requests like two years ago for a game server lel, obviously it failed like 9 out of 10 times and the scope was tiny, but it got the job done eventually
>>560611743I swear I've seen these characters, is this a character creator you can buy or are these all hand drawn?
>>560631832>is there anyone who started out day 1 with AI codeyeah, current project is AI from day 1. started a couple of weeks ago. architecture is great, making tools along the way. a lot of the time I will get claude to make an artifact of a proposed effect and I refine it with prompts from there and when happy tell it to splice it into the game
>>560631234the issue is the same, you'll get technical debt until your code is so much spagetti it simply can't be fixed.
>>560632197>"claude, prevent technical debt"
>>560631960just looked at the github, was september 2024
>>560632197so refactor as you go like you would normally you fucking moron, also every project as big as a game gets technical debt, you dumb cocksucking faggot, fuck you luddie, put your name back on rotate
>>560632197a skill issue just flew over my house
>>560633025that's the indomitable cris
>>560632197Yes but the problems you describe aren't unique at all? If the AI is anything, it's an engineer that lives in the IDE. It's an employee. Can you think of ANYTHING unique, any unique drawback, to AI specifically? Because if you hired 3 great coders, you'd get the same problem, unless you as the PM understand the project. Human coders aren't randomly immune to technical debt, and PM not understanding the code base is a day 0 problem, it's been a thing since the first ever lead engineer got a new job. There were literally ancient Egyptians who had to deal with this shit while building the pyramids, when some guy with all the tribal knowledge for a project just died and they had to find new lead guys.
>>560632110Sometimes I ask Claude or Cursor to make random tools out of game assets, like using a character factory or enemy factory to run thousands of sims in various configurations to test balance
>>560633550inb4
>>560632409>>560633025>>560633228>>560633550AI will never write something as clean as this, because is trained on slop code from github.
>>560633838>run thousands of sims in various configurations to test balancedid this too. claude made a bot for me that plays my game, very tweakable behavior etc
>>560634043>>560632197These posts brought to you from the year 2022
>>560634043>claude make me some really clean code >writes something cleaner than cris's humanslop
>>560634202I went down this road too and now I accidentally have a bot that can play my entire game. Like, competently but not creatively. It's eerie. It can execute a full loop from base to overworld, dungeon, to overworld, and back to base, fully transparent (for debugging). Thousands of sims to test the friction while exploring the game (fights basically), then it can actually start at hub, prepare for expedition while reasoning about what to bring, explore overland for POIs, assess POIs for perceived danger, engage if acceptable, then complete a POI (multi floor procgen dungeons with enemies, loot, and locked doors/chests/traps), assessing main goal (explore and loot) and sub goals (unlock that chest for loot) alongside fights inside the dungeon, then backtrack through the dungeon, leave the poi, and report back to base with loot. The AI is insane to watch and now IDK wtf I'm even supposed to do with an AI like this because I intend for humans to play, but maybe it can become enemy AI. Shit would have taken me 6 months to make a private AI game tester in the past, now it legit just works after 2 weeks. What a time to be alive...
>>560634830Watching my bot play my game(and pushing the speed up and watching it clear the screen of enemies in seconds) makes me want to pivot into an incremental/idler thingy.
>>560634043
>>560635421is there a way to make AI play your game? how?
It's been known for half a century that the hardest part of programming isn't writing code but knowing what code to write. ML tooling has the inverse value proposition for programmers as it does for artists, it can automate the tedious parts of the job while leaving you the fun parts. You can focus on system design, architecture, and the larger creative objectives of the game while letting the bot be the code monkey that implements your plans.
>>560635421why not both?
>>560497918>>560626670>>560629998cris's schizophrenia on displayniggas gives up at the first hurdle, thats why he has 100000000000000 unfinished projects
>>560635806actually it does too for artists, you can draw a sketch or use a 3d model pose and go from therefor me the tedious parts of arts is having to redraw/do lineart after the sketch and anything that involves the lasso tool or bucket fill, i hate thaat shit
>>560636038do you use asset packs or are those generated? bexause thats a lot of mixels but looks cool otherwise
>>560635997Refining is the fun part tho. D: For me at least, fren.
We are in the era of Game Engines
>>560636141ripped straight from the game i am copying lel, ss13 roguetown
>>560635759I just gave it my code and said make a bot that plays it... oneshotted. >>560635823considering it but I want to release very soon. maybe an update post release.
who's laughing now?
>>560636398>eceleb post 12412412
>>560636398who cares about fucking ecelebsthey should make an e-celeb containment board already, its a decade over due
>>560635759I guess it depends on the game but generally you just start at the beginning of any loop. If you want the AI to do the full game from start screen to end screen, then start at the start screen. How do you start the game? How do you orient? Your AI needs to know that. It also needs to know what the constants and variables are, and it needs to have a syntax for interacting with your game. So if you were making an AI to play Mario, it needs to know what jump is, what walk is, what run it, what goombas are, what holes in the level are, what obstacles are, etc. Once it knows the syntax of the world, the it needs GOAP, or goals, and these would be things like "explore the level," "avoid enemies," "look for pitfalls and jump over," "kill enemies if possible," etc. There's no real answer other than "teach code how to play your game."

>>560636398indie games are such an all or nothing industry, you either make it big or better off working a real job and making a game during the weekend
>>560636994its best consumed as a hobby

>>560637187Vast majority of indie devs are consoomers. It's such a weird hobby too, because it's supposed to be creative, but indie devs are constantly picking the corn out of other dev's shit, we call these games clones typically. No innovation, just consoom meta and shit out copy. This is why over 70% of indie games are financially insolvent, and of the 30% who make a profit, 50% merely break even. It's a consoomer hobby. Buy more assets, goy!
