e-celeb worshipper genocide whenwould massively improve the thread
>>560637257What's the point of making a godot game whem it's easily decompiled?
Why in the fuck did you create a new thread?
anyway, netcode is done classes are done just need to port the health system and lighting next, which will be a huge ballache because ss13s health system is very complex
>>560637429Does it matter? StS2 was ripped apart day 1, still got 500k concurrent players. You think there's going to be a bunch of StS clones? As if there weren't thousands of failed abortions already?
>>560637415believe it or not this thread used to have 0 eceleb worship outside of ironic todd howard/molyneux posts before transgender culture and LGTB went mainstream, coincidence?

Any 2D artists here who can help me with something, please?
>godot
>>560637747>are you daft?https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=how+to+encrypt+godot+game+stub
>>560637747StS 2 is an online game and it didn't matter, are you daft?
Okay now I feel sad
>>560637757depends what you need help with, just ask your question don't ask to ask
How easy is networking in godot? Is it any easier than Unity?
>>560637891Ok, sorry, got sick /ic/ keeps arguing between one another, kind of like here but worse. How do I render this sketch? Spent an hour trying to clean it and my brain already can't brainining.
>>560637847Proof it works? That's just moving the encryption point but you're still using the same system which can be easily decompiled.>>560637869It's not an online game it's a co-op game, you play with people you know, an online game is not a lobby co-op game, there are "singleplayer" games that require you to be online, they're not online games either.
>>560637946idk, AI managed to make it work for me in godot though
>>560637747>It matters if you're making an online game yes, are you daft?Why would it? Everything should be server authoritative, and custom clients are trivially rejected when they aren't signed by the actual developer.
>>560638040>Proof it works? That's just moving the encryption point but you're still using the same system which can be easily decompiled.lol dumb nigger
>>560638062Ah so its all „write your own shit lol” type of deal
>>560638002that's a cool drawing mongol, i thin it would look great with flat colors and hard shadows, something close to mignola's style
>>560638183no it has multiplayer sync nodes but they suck ass, i have been using RPC calls for everything, never used unity so idk how it compares
>>560638221Haven't thought of that. I'll give it a try, thanks friend. For some reason, I thought everything needs to be rendered. Plus, the original psd file is 15k by 17k so trying to paint it would kill my pc. Thanks.
And done
>>560638040So because you misuse terms, you can't solve problems. You should take a step back and start solving the terminology problem, before trying to describe a problem. Use the proper syntax for things, and solutions will fall out naturally. You're probably describing an MMO then, if "online" precludes games that are online as "not really being online."
>>560637747>It matters if you're making an online game yes, are you daft?It does not. If you trust the client data instead of the server being the source of truth then it's a skill issue. If on the other hand your concern is bots/macros then it does not matter either, you can hook into functions and call them either way, just takes more time to develop cheats.
>>560638081>Everything should be server authoritative, and custom clients are trivially rejected when they aren't signed by the actual developernigga we're indie devs we dont have the online infrastructure to do that most indie games are p2p
>>560638361
>>560638361He looks JUST'd with the thing under his eyes.
I don’t know guys, making a game while not making your game engine seems like a one way to slop city
https://youtu.be/4-SC7YJoknE?si=-yo-3lQ8Wh2_HxivWhat do you WANT to do
>>560638081LOL, even games made by billions dollar companies like wow have speedhacks, good luck with your "everything is authoritative" godot game.>>560638364No you're the one who tried to say that sts2 is an online game when it's a co-op game. OBVIOUSLY you give less of a shit about cheaters in lobby/co-op games because they can just be kicked or you'll realistically never play with them unless you have cheater friends, it's different for an online game.
>>560638869>LOL, even games made by billions dollar companies like wow have speedhacks, good luck with your "everything is authoritative" godot game.>No you're the one who tried to say that sts2 is an online game when it's a co-op game.

I like the fact that you guys are making multiplayer games. I really do. Because networking takes a real skill to do
>>560638869Dude, if you're this committed to being stupid, you're not going to solve problems effectively. If you insist that apples are oranges, then fuck off with your stupid ass "why are there oranges in my apple pie" questions. StS is an online game, StS is an online game with co-op. Whatever you game is that you think you're describing, is not different, if your game is using both "online," and "co-op."
>>560638427Whether a game is P2P or using dedicated servers is orthogonal to authentication. It's not difficult (or expensive) to stand up an auth server even if you're then using P2P for authenticated users. >>560638869Server authoritative doesn't mean every action runs on the server. It just means the server is the authority in the client-server model. In a P2P game one player is still operating as a server, and you can still require that server to be authenticated with simple client validation.
Goal: Just make a really fun combat system and build a game around it
>>560638221I actually really like this artstyle
>>560639208worked for halfsword
>>560639082Networking is the final boss of infotech related spheres of work, it will literally take a healthy brain and pulverize it into grey goo, I do not recommend any indie devs get too hung up on networking.
>>560639259>>560639208That's how 99% of roguelikes came into being. "We have a fun combat loop and nothing else, add permadeath/proc-gen and ship it"
Jackie Codes
>>560639208Solid
>>560639282nah don't scare them like that, everything can be understood if it's made by a human for a human to use
>>560639082>>560639282i just used AI to write the netcode, works fine for me
>Game releases in 2 weeks>Got barely any attention in next fest>One feature left to add (achievements)>Zero motivation to work on it
>>560639395>tranny pedo nodev ecelebs nowuuuh i prefer the gamedev related eceleb posting if anything>>560639432oof, guess you should have made a good game then huh faggot
>>560639432achievements take more than 2 weeks to implement?
>>560637547Neat. Is it going to be like SS13 but medieval?
>my first dev stream>I was muted the whole time
>>560639395>biological woman
>>560639414Writing the code is fine, but networking is black magic to those who don't know it. The AI is a homunculus that can give you the spells, but doesn't understand how they work. If you don't understand how they work, that's a problem. In a non-networked codebase, it's sometimes passable as long as things act right, but when you do this with networking, bad things can happen. Homework: do some research on entities that suffered big data breaches.
i just remembered what got me into gamingit's fun.not soul. not escapism. not ideals.just plain fun.i didnt play pokemon for any other reason.and when i had fun i didn't question the fun. i didn't say "oh it's not like the other game" or "it should be like this or that".i just accepted the game for what it is and had fun.
>>560639686I don't think anyone needed to hear the bong rips in the background while Claude did all the work in VSC
>>560639659yeah but that already exists with roguetown, i'm just remaking it in godot with a bunch of changes because i don't like the direction the codebase is going and ill be fucked if i'm going to put so much effort into a byond server
>>560638967>>560639123>>560639147Okay I give up godotards, your engine is perfect and you would have no issue at all if you were to release an online game.
>>560637429>Why sell your game on Steam if people can easily pirate it?
>>560638002most shadows in 2D art are done using the same shapes, sphere, cube, cone, cilinder.My advice is to practice a bit drawing and rendering these, before attempting your picture.A trick you could make is to use an AI to generate a 3D model of the drawing, then import in blender and use blender to do the calculations of the shading, then use it as reference to draw it.
>>560640027Pirates are gonna pirate no matter what
>>560640026>Okay I give up
should you register a trademark for your videogames name? I just did a quick WIPO calculation and it costs 300k usd to register lmaono indiedev has that kind of money
>>560639939Soul is a prerequisite for fun because fun is a byproduct of novelty. You can create a perfect imitation of the most fun game you've ever played but it will not be fun because it lacks soul.
>>560640026Okay? Be salty about it I guess? You have no fucking idea how to even speak the language to express the things you want to say so why would anyone listen to you? You're just wrong, and that's fine, you know what you need to do to be right, and that's go learn the things.
>>560638361>male with ear jewelryFaggot.
>>560640263book readers complain about the movie adaption, movie watchers complain about the remake of the movie. "soul" is just something arbitrary we use when we compare new thing to old thing. this only happens if you even know the old thing.and often the old thing is also "worse" than the even older thing.lord of the rings is soulless because the original books were better?
>>560640216Why not just use 10k and patent the engine?
>>560640475nta but nah it makes him that much less generic it's a good choice
>>560640197Decompilers are gonna decompile no matter what

>>560640654A youtuber made a video showing that they fake players and you're just playing with bots, if you go offline the game keeps pretending like you're playing online.
>>560640821That's just good netcode
>>560640773What the fuck is a bugchaser hole
>>560640821KEK wasn't there a gambling slither game as well? i'm like 99% sure i saw that, where you join with a dollar amount and get to keep what you get off other players and leave with
I feel it
>>560640887https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugchasinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ear_piercing
>>560640516I fundamentally disagree with this perspective. The absence of an existing frame of reference is itself what provides the novelty of an experience. Viewing everything through the lens of juxtaposition with something else directly diminishes one's enjoyment ("comparison is the thief of joy" is more than an overused platitude). In your example the novelty of an adaptation in a new medium is what makes it fun. Recreating the same story in the same medium doesn't provide audiences fun because it was not created with the purpose of providing novelty - i.e. it feels soulless

Some new information I'm passing along from the discord:>/v/3 submissions are from March 15th to May 23rd but Betz forgot to put it in the overview document because he's retarded>They already have one game selected for a dev spotlight and will choose a second one mid April >Game logos are required because he's putting together a press kit with all the shill links for streamers or (somehow he believes) journalists And as always, Betz spent the morning whining about the lack of submissions despite it being Day 2 out of 60.

game engines suck. hammer editor had a csg map editor in 2005, somehow in 2026 a game engine like unity doesn't.(yes i know about sabrecsg and realtimecsg, they dont work in latest versions, completely bugged)

I feel like adding something to my game today
>>560644739It's nice and like the flavor+gameplay element, is your game still in early access? I think I tried it but it was like 2 years ago or something
>>560645221what have you been doing for the last two weeks?
>>560645221This feels like Army Men
>>560645221what are you adding? its a shame you said you dont like horror games i think this would be a hit as a zombie survival game
Does anyone develop games entirely in an engine? It feels like refactoring would be a suicide inducing endeavor if refactoring meant touching everything in a Unity project, but the opposite is making a game engine that serves states which might not be something everyone wants to do. So you need like perfect knowledge of the game engine you're using if you don't want the game to crumble under technical debt that you can't afford to refactor, what a nightmare job this game dev is
>>560645221add swords and axes and giant mushrooms and giant insect taxis.

Also the timelapse
>>560645351Yeah, it is still Early Access, I've just started Act 5 this month. I suggest you to try again, as it was a lot to be changed and added since then, also there is option now to reset saves so old players won't have odd bugs if they didn't play too long time.
>>560645490will add ammo + pickups and implement some sounds
>>560644876It's very refreshing to go from a GUI where you have to basically waste time doing clicks on menues and trying to figure out shit, to just writing 2 lines of code, lmao.It feels like going from trying to drive using chat gpt to just having a 1960 manual car.
uh oh, meltie
>>560645850>posts tranny porn
>>560644734is that your game?
I do understand now.GUIs are evil, and are extremelly ineficient when compared to using a CLI.
whats the biggest unadulterated gamedev TRVKE you have?
>>560646112>i have learned that i should not insert this knife up my asshole, i now know it should go into the genital opening
CLI is based and should start you down the path of thinking about games as state-driven by I guess if your brain is congealed cottage cheese and the only thing it can physically hold is the last piece of tranny porn you jerked it to then you wouldn't realize that the GUI is just a state transition button

it's a simple truth that if you just want to get something done, then it means you aren't enjoying it.and if you try to make money with something you don't enjoy doing, then why not just get a job?

>>560646551yeah.......
>>560646510that's your fault
>>560646551Because game dev means I can sit on the computer all day and maybe one day I'll get big money and fame by sitting on the computer all day. Even if it sucks, I'll do it, because what's the alternative? Go back to consulting for 120k a year?
>>560646573so where IS your game?
>>560646551>why not just get a job?No one wanted to hire me. If I could get a job, I wouldn't have bothered with gamedev.

>>560646679We need to drop all the nice and bloated tools that modern software development has invented to worship moloch and baal, parce.Let's go back to just drawTexture(texture, color.WHITE)
scoping requires mental gymnastics and can make the development process longer.at least big scope requires things that can be done already. small scope requires coming up with insane new ideas which aren't even defined yet or promised to exist.so basically large scope might actually be easier than small scope.

>>560644441It's a shame that the indie community has fallen so deeply in the Godot/Unity trap when Unreal is superior in every single way.

>>560646535Neat
>>560648278>Cool journal entry what's it have to do with gamedevit's the part of gamedev where you try to do something else so you don't burn out or die from a blood clot from sitting 12 hours a day every day.
>>560647091Large scope feels easier because you can always expand and patch problems along the way, scoping is a debt management problem solver, not a volume problem solver. Small scope means you have N pieces to build, and N pieces working together needs to equal the solution you planned for. In practice, large scope feels like shit to work on because every day is a fucking episode of The Office, same day different shit, expand and solve last week's debt crisis. Small scope feels better because you have finite things to work on because you aren't treating the codebase like a "problem factory."
i stop playing a game when i feel like what i'm doing in the game is just something i wanna finish fast so i finally can stop doing it.(yes i mean world of warcraft)maybe that's why i keep going back to league of legends. it's literally a game i want to keep going and not just "finish".
>>560648278No. Are you? Sex is the most retarded example you could've mentioned since being done with it is the best part.
>>560647543In the grand scheme of things, even 150+ IQ isn't all that impressive. The population of millennials + zoomers is roughly 4 billion globally, and of those, we can estimate that 0.0429% of them are 150+ IQ based on a normal distribution at μ=100 and σ=15. That means there are roughly 1,716,240 150+ IQ millennials + zoomers. If we take an extreme low-ball estimate of say 1% of them have some kind of creative apparitions like gamedev (personally, I'd estimate much higher, probably 10%+), that still leaves 17,240 150+IQs out there in the wild trying to make it as a gamedev.

going to install lubuntu on my PC, then delete windows and Xubuntu.I want my PC to be fast and not hindered by modern UI/BLOAT trends.Then just gamedev with nim and naylib as my framework, and use FOSS tools to generate the assets.Then agdg will be extremelly BTFO.
Updated how turning and movement works. There was always a turn speed in Moku but it was pretty unnoticable. Made it more pronounced, and even slowed it down when sprinting. Walking backwards now slows you down to 70% speed. Sprinting now has it so you can only sprint in the direction you're facing, though there's a brief grace period when you start sprinting for smoothness purposes.
>>560648706prove it, you can't, tranny nodev faggot
i feel like i'm the only one (at least admitting) that my goal isn't to make money with a game, but to find something i truly enjoy working on.why would i intentionally build a future for myself that's all about doing what i hate all day? that type of future is literally free if you just submit to a real job.
>>560647810>There's a lot more to getting a job than being able to do the job.If you know this, then you know that the person who couldn't qualify for the code monkey job wouldn't qualify for the game dev job, because "there's a lot more to getting a job than being able to do the job." I'm guessing you'll talk about networking or something, or there being a non skill related gap, despite networking being a skill, but the fact remains that it's insane that you think you're qualified to be: lead engineer, lead set designer, lead art designer, program manager, and ask the junior hats, despite not inspiring enough confidence in an employer for them to trust you to even answer phones at a help desk. I know you'll cope with something that evokes your "hidden potential," but that is indeed just cope. I'm guessing that the money you made from games isn't enough to sustain you. I personally made about 6k last year just from tips on reddit, where I trawl the frame subs and just draw people. This doesn't mean "portrait artist" is my job, or that I'm qualified to run a studio. Just weird that you would treat the vastly harder job as the "no other option" fallback.

your ability to make money is equal to your ability to do things you don't want to do.which basically means money is slavery.
From the river to the sea, Aggydaggy will be free
>>560648963Gamedev is in a transition where people still remember a time where every good game was a commercial success but not enough time has passed where people accept that era is over. In a few more decades indie dev hopefuls will be seen in the same light as starving artists in every other medium. Writers, painters, musicians, etc. >>560649074Partner here means sexual partner anon, not the label of an established relationship. Outing yourself as illiterate if anything
>>560649253
hypothetically, what would you guys do if, in the near future, ai completely trivialized gamedev to the point that no human involvement was necessary and could make any conceivable game in an instant? would you still torture yourself with long hours of game dev if you knew the market value of indie games had been reduced to zero? these feel like questions we may have to answer soon.
>>560649197>your ability to make money is equal to your ability to do things you don't want to do.Your ability to make money is equal to your ability to be a central bank with enough power to convince people to use your money. Money is a fungible item that we use to extract away the value of a task because nobody wants to go to the store and barter corn for eggs, they just trade the goods and services for a currency and use the currency to trade for goods and services. Collecting money then becomes a game of doing something that's worth a lot of eggs. Someone, somewhere, can have offer a good or service that someone, somewhere, will trade N currencies for. This, is a job. You're not making money, you're being graded on how smart you are. Low money? No smart.

>>560649682game development actually, retard
>>560649495It's just not going to happen. All those "games" will require many cycles of refining and polishing before normal gamers will consume them, just like before.
>>560649417The 2020s is the last chance to get a foot in the door and make a name for yourself if you want to live off gamedev.
>>560649495This wouldn't change anything. Think about how many millionaires, today, could just buy the best coders and artists and shove them into a studio and do exactly that? The millionaire goes to his studio and says "I want a game like this." For all intents and purposes, this is what you're describing, though locked behind insane amounts of money. In theory, they would just be a hit factory, right? Well no because games as a concept exist outside of code bases and art. If the guy with the game factory never thinks of a good game, then it doesn't matter how quickly he can make them or what the fidelity of the experience is, it's just a bunch of high tech shovelware. If we get AI powered game dev all it means is the barrier to entry is low and we just see the ugly insides of even more NPC brains. Steam is already full of this shit.
>>560649826>The 2020s is the last chance to get a foot in the door and make a name for yourself if you want to live off gamedev.just tranny flopdev things
>>560649495IDK, I wouldn't feel good about it
joshua, your cortisol?
people who want to make money with gamedev are kinda boring. they constantly just talk about either minmaxxing ideas or about their frustrations and how they give up.i'm totally fine that people need money to survive and to fund their passion etc. - but it's just a fact that people who function like that are extremely boring.

Very pleased with my vertex buffer manager and index buffer managerI've explained the vertex buffer manager before and how it partitions the vertex buffer by vertex attributes.Index buffer manager is simple by comparision. Its just bump allocation with device memory basically. Similiar to the vertex manager but without vertex attribute partiioning logic.In pic2 partitions in vertex buffer. 3 total vertex buffer offsets, one offset into index buffer. The way I have it set up is that you should only bind the index buffer once, even if the topologies are different (my example doesn't do this, I'll show it off later I guess). The vertex buffer gets bound for each partition.Maybe I should implement indirect buffers next.
I want to combine my blender skills like this to make the HD waifu sprites and use nim and raylib to make something that can surpass commercial games.
>>560650520Could be pretty funny but it would basically destroy gaming. If everything is a game then nothing it, the game makers are playing games by making games. It'll be a nightmare, but at least we might get street vendors. >Steeep right up! We got roguelikes, rogue LITES, we got deck builders, incremental games, anything you want! All certified SLOP!

the technical part of gamedev isn't hard just like the technical part of writing a novel isn't hard or the technical part of being a youtuber isn't hard. skills are needed for sure, but success doesn't come from skill. we're part of the entertainment industry.

the least obvious route to cure lack of motivation is taking care of yourself. you lack motivation cause you feel like shit. why do you feel like shit? well, cause you don't take care of yourself.take a shower, cook nice food, take a walk, go to the gym or swimming hall. whatever.it's like trying to force a sim with drained needs bars to work.

No, so don't program in problems, retard. Too hard? Kys! Welcome to life, bitch.

You have a very childish mentality, sometimes life is just not in your control.
>>560655175lmao you fucked up your life then, dipshit
>>560654993So effectively life management skills don't matter because someone, somewhere, lives in a more dangerous place than you might currently live in. Well, if you want to live like the universe is just some entropic soup of random shit happening to random people, you can, but you're living in a maladaptive fantasy that is constructed exclusively to absolve you of the weight of personal responsibility. And the worst part is, your mentality reinforces itself, because you refuse to engage the controllable aspects of your life, but they do not go uncontrolled, they just get controlled by forces that aren't you. So you live like this, and assume this is the way the world works. Whatever helps you sleep at night, baby boy.

i think the future winners in the gamedev industry are solodevs who are very good at arranging assets.people are good at spamming content, but rarely anybody can arrange content is good ways.it's similar to music, where you can have infinite free sounds, vsts, libraries, midi packs etc. - but rarely anybody can actually arrange it into interesting forms.it's like a collaborative effort, even though you aren't talking with anybody, you just take what they spam into the internet and arrange it into something coherent.solodevs who try to make everything alone will never finish. and yesdevs who just spam content will never make anything coherent.

Circle collisions are the easiest of them all and for the amount of you have there brute force shouldn't be an issue eitherIt's just an inner product compareconst dot = (a,b) => { return a[0] * b[0] + a[1] * b[1]; };const distanceSquared = innerProduct = dot;const distance = (a,b) => { return Math.sqrt(distanceSquared(a, b)); };let isColliding = distanceSquared(sphereACenter, sphereBCenter) < (sphereARadius + sphereBRadius) * (sphereARadius + sphereBRadius);

Does game dev attract schizos or produce them?
psychology majors will have a field day with this case study of mental patients here
>>560674452This place and other dev spaces are the way they are because it only attracts people who are: always online, already atomized for their loner hobbies, don't talk to real people, are able to sit and do repetitive mind numbing shit all day. There's probably no data for substance abuse but if I had to guess, the game dev profile probably also includes heavy drug use and lots of porn breaks. Indie devs are like terminally online freaks on steroids. The sane ones probably use social media an hour after work so you won't see them here, or any other reddit-type website.

>>560683346yeah, there are no hidden gems. If you made a good game, there's no way you're going to just shut up about it.You'd shill your own game because you know it is good.Imagine making Minecraft and just staying quiet after. If you make a bad game and you know it, then you're just crossing your fingers and hoping people get tricked. Then you want to sweep it under the rug.

I shall work with Disasterpeace on my 2nd successful game after completing my first successful game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNYsO25n-MQ
>>560683346depends, you need to ask yourself more if there's a market for your game.You could make the best puzzle platformer hardcore game ever made and it still will flop.Genre still matters.A mediocre or even shitty JRPG can be a huge sucess if it has stuff like oppai lolis with generic anime templates, and will print more money than a high quality masterpiece of a 2D SNK fighting arcade game.My advice if you want quick money is to make a hentai game, or a friendslop idle incremental streamerbait with an anime isekai theme bout being a parody like isekai cashier at the hot anime cosplayer club simulator.
>>560690009I personally think story and characters matter more than people think.NOBODY would remember games like Undertale, Off, LISA, Omori, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, blah blah blah if they didn't have memorable characters or stories. Some of those are subjective, but hey
>>560690613yes, but story doesn't mean a long story.I've found that I enjoy more short stories like esopo fables or grim tales or fairy tales, much more than shit like mangas or animes that just stretch a concept with filler shit for 1k episodes.Castlevania SOTN has an amazing story because the story in that game serves to give context to the gameplay and theme, not to give cutscenes and long pages of VN material.I think we suffer from stories that are made intentionally long to fit a movie or a TV or anime.And agdg should look at beloved stories from folk tales or the bible or legends, which are usually quick.Greek myths are amazing even thought they're like a page long.
>>560685196r/upliftingnews
>>560683194This sentiment is cope. "Good" games that have a shit takeoff (bad at hooking players and good at annoying them at the start) are badly structured. Games with good initial pacing and that are at least decent otherwise will almost always succeed. You can deploy them across 100 parallel dimensions and 99 of the times they will get the spotlight.Don't justify bad immersion design on top of good gameplay corpus cucking you, just because you want your game a certain way. Just because you want it to be acquired taste or have the player work for it etc etc
>>560689727
Someone needs to make a game like UFO 50, but is about being a kid during the 1980 arcade era, so you need to do errands like mowing the law to earn coins so you can go and play some in game arcade machines with puck man and centipede and other modern games like floppy bord and VS and a DDR machine.And basically make it visually like mother 3.

In my game, when the player clicks the mouse button, I spawn a bullet and make it fly through the air until it hits something. In certain situations, I want to know if the bullet will hit something, before it even starts moving. I know the player's x and y positions, the speed of the bullet, etc., and I know the positions of all the enemies. How can I tell if it's going to hit something, immediately after it is created?

>>560699283
>>560699192Honestly, I think a game being distinct and memorable is key to success.If you have ONE good idea/implementation but the rest is nothing, you've failed.If you do something that has character and at least a touch of real originality to it within how it implements it's ideas, it's more likely to make it, at least in my opinion.

I miss being a successful gamedev. it used to be so easy, I'd just make a game I think would be neat to exist and people would play it. now they like playing games whose appeal I don't understand like clickers and incrementals and action rpgs where you just move and choose upgrades and there is no npcs or quests or plots.
>>560715745>>560715936make sure you've applied scale to the mesh. make sure you don't have flipped normals where you don't want them to be.
>>560716125I did actually. All transforms, in fact. I even checked the normals. I'm utterly baffled by why it did this
>>560716260applied scale to the bones too? is that even a thing?
>>560716013Nu-gamers are retarded animals. They actually ruined gaming and I mean that. They are retarded and they ruined gaming because they are impulsive low IQ animals. You know in Idiocracy there's "ASS" the movie? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE5aKNAcU2IThat is gaming now. I make games for myself.
>>560716405Yes and yes. IDK why the fuck it does this
>>560716013>>560716423Why do y'all always want indies to make AAA movieslop for you? Go read a book, nigger.
>>560716484well I'm out of ideas. just chalk it up to some agdg schizo hexing you and do the weight paint instead
>>560716562Imagine saying this unironically when the most successful modern indie games have less gameplay than the average movie game. You sit on your ass and watch a number go up.
>>560716642Wait, shit, I checked the normals wrong.I feel like a dumbass
I just wasted several hours! Yayyyyy
>>560706654my game is immediately satisfying to play even with no graphics
>>560637429Saves me the trouble of listing a sound track when I can just go rip it nigga
Would some schizo come after me if I steal the name "Shattered Skies"?

>>560700749You either fucked up rays or did a transfer on something that fucked up the projection or you smoothed them all for some fucking reason all at once. Either way u dun goofed.

>>560719704I checked my problem. I fucked up the normals like a retard
>>560702515wait i was thinking of using shartgpt to write a legal notice that says i have telemetry in my roguelike deckbuilder for balance reasons to see which cards are overpowered/weakis this a bad idea?
>>560715846KEK is that a cris gaussian splat? it looks usable in a game

>>560716423It's crazy that a few years ago people complained that quests in MMOs are too boring and just go kill 15 goblins or whatever and now people buy games that are literally even more linear than that. I wonder if it's a generational thing or what, there is no way PC gamers from the 90s/00s would play incremental slop and such.
Huh?
another day of opening blender and feeling dread because i will waste hours for the smallest progress, i fucking hate blender so much bros
>>560726376it is he.
>>560726846it's not a Blender problem, it's a (You) problem. you need to practice goodenoughism.
>>560646535Do you play yugioh mongol?
>>560720197wow kill yourself good job
>>560726846for me, it's making the reference sketches to use in blender. i'm always scared i will spontaneously get worse at drawing. drawing is such rng shit unless you are good.
i am terrified by the scope of my game even though when it's all finished it's going to be a two-hour game.
>>5607356072 good hours can take years...
https://youtu.be/tZQd0SIvZmE?t=196One year of updating his game and he made $15, what can we learn from this?
>>560740762I can make $15 with a mobile game! holy shit, where do I sign up??
>>560741196You need to pay $200 in fees thoughtever
>>560740762that kid is 16, he can afford a few flops. I'm 61 and this is probably my last game

>>560726846>>560741865Just switch to Unreal, it has all of that built in but it's actually designed for humans and gamedev specifically
>>560744504cris tier ai post
>>560637257Any unc who were around 2009 when the recession hit can tell me how good indie games were doing? Games with tons of replayability should do well right?
I get better day by day. Art, music, programming, design. Gamedev is the only way of life sisters
>>560733942Yes, fren.
huh, i just realized that people can see my real name if they look at the publisher info section, wtf...
>>560748056Based, that's a sick design
>>560748535Can you not be anonymous?
>>560755950nope i made the page while my company is being setup so anyone can look it up now lol, apparently i need to transfer the game ownership to my company by contacting valve, kinda bullshit privacy wise
:)
>>560765609What are you smiling about nigga
