i wish i had a friend to make a game with, but im a friendcel as well as all the other kinds of cels
https://xamugemus.neocities.org/I was able to upload a wasm game made on raylib and nim into a free hosting site, then link to neocities as my frontend.Pls review and test.
everything currently in is synced and working, i tried for hours to do multiZ but it's a huge fucking pain in the ass, gonna try again tomorrow, ill probably just not have multiZ and let someone else figure that out

>>560804587relax mi parce
>>560803781I am guessing you are currently transmitting all map changes and ground items to connected players? Any plans for scaling for map size? Or is it meant to be small instances with lower player counts that you hop between maybe? (I never played ss12)
I mean, chuds, I do feel like now I can start remaking 1980-1992 games with modern graphics and make like a free emulator website with parodies of those games with my own HD sprites.

>>560809751congrats joshua
I don't like the dash, maybe I should replace it with a roll or get rid of it altogether...
>>560810153that's crishua. they fused into one.
>>560812458I didn't like the dash either. just running is fine, airdash is ok, but just dashing and not having a normal run is maddening.
>>560812458that'll be another 10 years boku
Friendly reminder that the "make small games" advice doesn't mean to make shorter games (aka worse games). It means to make more focused games where you can spend your extremely limited time as a solodev polishing fewer mechanics to higher standards rather than spreading yourself too thin and loading your game full of shitty, under-polished, and ultimately pointless features. When Steam gamers think of "short" games, they're thinking about games with 3-15 hours of playtime.
Um bros?
>>560813916What counts as too many mechanics? 3? 4?
>>560814024one mechanic at a time or I get confused
>>560813957Who the fuck advertised this shit
>>560813916my arcade game takes 30 minutes to 'beat'. I have a lot of modes tho...
>>560813957this will keep popping up. next milestone 500k and the internet will happily donate 8 dollars to the cause, at 1 million it will go viral again, bringing in more donations to help the poor sad indie dev out.
>>560813916I'm estimating about 3 to 4 hours per chapter. Yeah, I wanna do it in chapters because it lets me pace myself over time better while consistently releasing stuff and thus meaning I can make more stuff with the systems I've created.
>>560813957But I was told those numbers meant a flop?
>>560814024I don't think a discrete number of mechanics is a good way to think about it. I think of the components of a game as "activities", which are each composed of numerous layered mechanics. For example, in a roguelike, you can simplify your entire game down to just one "action" scene and one "upgrade" scene. The action scene can be active-combat like Hades or Gungeon, a bullet heaven autoshooter like VS or Brotato, a tower defense like TangyTD or Wireworks, or even a simple stat sheet autobattler like Backpack Battles or The Bazaar. Then there's the "upgrade" scene, which can range from simple choose-from-three like VS or Hades to Backpack Battle's inventory Tetris to Wireworks'... well, wireworks.>>560814253That's not long enough for Steam. At least bundle 50 arcade games together or something.
>>560814837By who?
>>560814995So combat, slight resource management, and puzzles?
>>560815050This thread
>>560815062Generic action adventure RPGs aren't nearly as tight, and so these "activities" tend to blend into each other, but if you have narrative dialogue, then usually that should definitely be considered one of the main activities. I'd categorize many RPGs as movie games aka "visual novels with extra steps", where the narrative delivery IS the main activity.
>>560815252No narrative dialogue options or RPG mechanics beyond a few "Status effects."
I got negative but extremely vague sentiments about pic relatedwhat is so obviously wrong with it that I somehow can't see?
› just a note, its fine to do gpu heavy loads, when you froze the pc you went beyond that by running 20+ copies of the game in parallel› that's what I meant by not freeze the pc• Understood. The constraint is process fan-out, not GPU load. I’ll keep live runs serialized and avoid multi-instance explosion, but I won’t avoid single heavy runs when they are actually needed.
>>560815303IDK but that sounds really lame and isn't going to hold anyone's attention for more than a few minutes.
>>560815558I hate RPG mechanics where you make yourself stronger through stat boosts.If you get better, you got better
>>560815401not enough boobas
>>560815651Okay, but what you like doesn't matter at all. Actual gamers who play video games on PC love RPG mechanics. No one is going to waste their time and energy getting gud at some some janky and ugly indie game.
>>560815217So idiots with no money or idiots who get bankrolled by their wealthy parents (basically idiots with no money)
>>560815401No hands or hair
>>560815823Well, I don't like them. I'm avoiding that because it makes for boring and highly repetitive combat rather than anything cool.
>"I'm gonna make it!">*monkey paw curls*>Ygmi, but you now have one wish less from the monkey paw!
>>560815951Combat will always be repetitive if the mechanics don't change. New mechanics are typically introduced alongside character growth, and character growth is typically represented by a stats sheet.
>>560816120What kind of RPGs are you playing where it actually introduces new mechanics?
>>560814995>That's not long enough for Steam. At least bundle 50 arcade games together or something.how the heck am I supposed to do that? I'm only planning on working on this for 2 months total.
I don't think I'll hit my weekly limit with these 2X usage limits lmao
>>560816260Literally any good RPG will be constantly introducing new mechanics, or they're just flooded with so many mechanics that don't require for you to immediately engage with and you can pick and choose at your own leisure.>>560816418Small itch/web games are fine. Just don't expect for it to make any money on Steam.
>>560816579How is that any different to introducing new moves, thus changing how you play the game?
>>560816646Moves are mechanics...
>>560816701Actual combat moves are different from RPG combat moves
>>560816579>Small itch/web games are fine. Just don't expect for it to make any money on Steam.I don't, though I will make more than my unpublished big game that I can't seem to get over the finish-line. I swear I'll get that one done too... this small one will teach me how(hope/cope)
>>560816748Do they make any significant gameplay impact? i.e. Does the introduction of a new move change the player's decision making in any way?
>>560816854In a good game? Yeah. Look at something like, IDK, the Izuna Drop in Ninja Gaiden for example.NG is far more complicated than I could hope to do, but that fundamental idea of moves doing tangibly different things remains
been trying to procedural generate a mesh using the mesh data of other meshes to basically create one giant mesh.it works fine, but it has terrible performance cuz it renders a trillion faces inside of itself, and ive been trying to figure out some way to make it not do this but all i could find was stuff relating to voxel games where every mesh in the procedural mesh is just a cube which doesnt really apply to what im doing since checking for the sides of a cube is giga-easy compared to this.>hurr just ask isrealgptalready did, isrealgpt has no clue how to do this either and only suggested i do voxel game stuff where everything is a cube or things involving physics checks (which would also be giga-slow)anyone have any ideas for how i can cull all the faces in the mesh? im out of ideas.
If I make an rpg would anyone wanna help me scale the levels ans stats? Maybe design some monsters?
>>560818981Just take a convex hull? Also, post some pics? Voxels don't have to result in cubes. You can get very nice shapes from SDF transvoxels.
>>560819135I can design monsters
>>560819135>IfYou won't do shit.
>>560818981Have you tried asking a better AI than third place?
>>560818981>>hurr just ask isrealgpt>already didPrompt?
>>560819223That'd be nice. I'm using the new Paper Rpg maker. But I'll be writing a lot of custom script myself. I'm trynna make something with a Pokémon feel to it and got the core game mechanic that makes it unique planned out but I need to think of an art style. I was thinking early Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest type games rather than Pokémon clone 847476. I could go into more detail if you're interested.
>>560818981Use Surface Nets. Voxels do not have to be blocky.
My sister and I once made a game in RPGmaker. She did the sprites. It was cute ngl
>>560819568Nice. Check out the new paper rpg maker. It's tile based too but a 2d 3d mix like paper mario. You can use it from the web since it's made from three.js, or compile your game to a standalone. https://rpg-paper-maker.com/play/
Anyone want to help me make a Morrowindlike
>>560819921What skills do you bring to the table?
>>560819162if i post a pic it will reveal that i lied and i am infact using cubes but only as a test case, inevitably il have stuff that isnt a cube thoughalso convex hull is a good idea i havent tried that yet>>560819540never heard of surface nets until now but thats also a good idea.thanks anons

Okay, I think the roll feels way better than the dash so I'm going to go with it. I just need to redo the animation since the one I'm using was made quickly just for testing. Having a roll might make my game eligible for a soulslike tag which means a free video from that Pineapple guy.
>>560820680SOVL
I knew Unity's ECS was too good to be true. It might work if you're making a Survivors-like where you need hundreds of characters, but anything more complex, it falls apart
>>560813957is the game good? Last I played, it was the most generic tower defense game possible. But I see how he's replaced ugly tangerine characters with cute girls, so at least it's got that appeal now.
>>560822369>citybuilder>complex
>>560822440>is the game good?no
I wish I knew what the fuck I was doing
>>560820362>>560815735>>560820612I think you are right. Maybe textures will help convey the design too.

>>560832506dekillificate yourself
>>560832552>whats wrong with boomer shooters?it's a heavily saturized genre now in 2026, and because boomer shooters are quite basic design wise, a lot of subhumanized sloppers began making shitty ones (with terrible level design or no level design and just roguelike shit instead) so gamercunts got tired of it
>>560805186it's a 1000x1000 grid right now, roughly the same size as the current ratwood town, and yeah all synced, once i have the mechanics working i can start mapping, i like mapping, and the way it works in byond is there actually isn't a hard limit on playercounts, but i do plan on having new / generated areas when leaving far from the town, teleport markers to dungeons ect, you know, i actually added randomized dungeons with chatgpt.. pretty sure it was blackstone at the time
Yesterday I was adding some environmental hazards and I need to finish them today and move on to... what?1-3 UI4-6 UI7-9 UI0 physics and mechanics168 days left. I owe 1000 minutes of work to my game. Next time I'll be eating sweets is in April. Why even live?
A reminder that submissions are open and will remain open until May 23rd. As previously mentioned, we are planning on doing two developer spotlights but we will be deciding on the second spotlight about mid-April. One is already selected. If you are interested, you may sign up without a trailer and it'll be up to the production team to determine who gets the second spotlight. https://forms.gle/QWCsNJwXwST2wbzN6Signing up without a trailer does not guarantee you a spot in the show. Only a trailer does.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4428790/Rest_Area_Simulator_Prologue/this one is what happens when you take schedule1, but you make it look too realistic. so it doesn't feel like running a shady business anymore, but like you simulate a boring job.kinda weird how much subtle differences matter.
consistency and long-term commitment is so important because small games don't sell at all. i'm analyzing tons of steam games and they all have 0 reviews, cause nobody wants to play those small mini games.

the reason why most motivational speakers are gym bros is cause "just do it" perfectly works for clearly defined physical activity, but doesn't work at all for things that require complex long-term planning.maybe "just plan it" is our equivalent of that phrase.

reminder that successful gamedevs know having a good game is not enough by itself and that they made it because they also got lucky.
>>560838224did it hurt them?
>20 years of hobby dev>first commercial game is successfulwow. lucky.
>>560838424some people make what they find fun and want to play. others make what they played and end up being a horrible copy of a good game.copying a game you liked can literally never result in a new game that you want to play but doesn't exist.i think most devs aren't motivated by "i really want this to exist", cause they don't have an idea like that. they just want to make a game and publish something on steam and out of lack of ideas they copy stuff that already exists.
>>560838424i dont have the skills to make a good game, the charisma to market one, or the luck to just get luckywhat do i do?
I accidentally copied a game I played 25 years ago.

>>560838665everyone has an equal amount of luck. it's not a stat but the element of randomness.

the same people who tell me to stop overthinking are the ones crying about their 0 review flops. lmao.i'm gonna use my brain and you wont stop me using it.
making a game is similar to building car. you have 1000 factors in mind when building it. but then someone comes along and just likes the color or the shape. i think there's a lot we don't understand about gamers and why they pick a game.

>>560840963from what little personal experience I have it's truebut also from looking at other peoples' games, you can just tell>oh, you've made [typically unsuccessful genre] before and it didn't do well and now you're making incremental gambleslop? yeah that'll probably do well, I don't even need to see the gameit's harder to tell when it's someone else's game, however, and you can never predict just how successful or unsuccessful it'll be, just a general range.I was surprised by a game recently but thinking about it, the devs had experience polishing what would otherwise be an unsuccessful game and could make successful games just by having consistently good humor and polish so it's not surprising that they just keep winning every single time despite making games that shouldn't
if comedy/fun happens through breaking taboos. what are modern day taboos? and i don't mean political taboos, actual taboos even online. e.g. being racist isn't a taboo online, it's just a political taboo.are there even any taboos left? or is it also important that the taboo is semi-acceptable? otherwise it's not fun, but just attention-whoring.
>>560840512>Why buy Selaco when you can boot up the latest Brutal Doom + addons on some GZDoom built map pack?NTA but the same reason I bought Oblivion Remastered instead of fiddling with mods. Games are entertainment and I don't want to work and do research when I want to have fun.
>>560841527there's a reason studios pitch ideas before making them. same with prototypes. they don't run on the idea that you "can't know if the game will be a success upfront". literally their whole strategy is to know it upfront by proving a concept first.
It's wild to me when artists say they can't code. You just have to learn what arrays, loops and conditionals are for an evening and you're essentially guaranteed to sell copies whereas autists have to spend at least three years trying to learn asset creation just to meet the minimum base line to be able to potentially, possibly maybe sell a game.
>Unity, URP>Full scene in opaque + alpha clip materials: 60FPS>Full scene in transparent (with depth write) + alpha clip: 90FPS... how the fuck?Shouldn't transparent always be more expensive, especially with the z-buffer enabled?Or is this some URP quirk that can be solved with some obscure option in rendering settings?
>>560838424>just be a welfare leech bro
>>560841825lmao retard
>>560841295This is such a Betz take considering he's a /co/ fag.
zombie games are about enjoying the fruits of societies achievements (architecture, food, furniture, art, shelter, electricity, clothing etc. etc.) without the annoyance of other humans claiming all this wealth for themselves. it's a way to dehumanize humans into dead walking creatures that you are allowed to kill to get their stuff.on a deep psychological level it describes our urge to kill and steal. but we can't do it because we empathize with real humans, so if we imagine them to be monster, we are finally allowed to kill them and take their stuff.the only thing missing is some sort of apocalypse harem and apocalypse bros. that's why people are so desperate for npc's in project zomboid.
>>560841962betz is a nodev tranny thoughbeit
>>560841909>most people arelol no. i see normies everyday and they are fit and healthy. why does he think everybody has an illness? it's not true. actually a lot of men are even athletic.
>>560841359sending you good vibes mongolCHAD
>>560841674games often flop and bomb, even games made by big studios. there is no way to predict hits like Lethal Company or Undertale or Terraria.
>>560841909>just work hard and you'll be successful>look inside>successful people were not working hardI don't really give a fuck that my stupid indie game has to compete with companies that can shit out $100m games annually but I am fucking pissed about having to compete with people like thisno job, no responsibilitiesthey can just dev as much as they want when they wanttoby fox, yomidev, ericthey were all like this meanwhile I have to work 40 hours a week at some god awful dogshit job while caring for my family and then somehow trying to find time to explore my passionfuck off
level design is a powerful skillit can make a mundane game interesting merely from the lore implications of the placement of items and structures
>>560841874The cost mostly comes from the interplay between transparent and opaque rendering (since you need to render both separately). In your test case you're basically doing the same render with less shading in the latter.
>>560841909completely beside the point and irrelevant to the topic being discussed which is the role of luck in a game's success.
>>560842058Unfortunately, he confirmed he has done dev before in the liqord. So it's not a nodev situation it's a non currentdev situation. Do we even have a terminology for that?
>>560842378>you're basically doing the same render with less shading in the latterBoth case are full unlit shader. Or do you mean something else?
>>560842252>there is no way to predictyeah but there are ways to improve your understanding what makes a game succeed or fail. it's not all just randomness. just because something can't be predicted 100%, doesn't mean it can't be predicted to a reasonable degree, like 60-70%.i don't subscribe to the whole "you can't know anything" mindset. mainly because it implies there is no need to become more intelligent and knowledgeable.
>>560842202<3. Thanks fren, after the contest is over, it's back to working on Mongol and will try making DD fanart. D:
>its another episode of gameplay feature/mechanic i independently had for my game apparently is in a popular game i never played and now i cant use itsigh
>>560842416yeah ok LOL what game has he ever made?
>>560842635maybe your ideas arent that originalyou need an ideasguy
>>560842667Look for yourself I'm not spoon feeding you.
i'm 100% sure that with 99% of the games i see on steam, the devs wouldn't play their own game.and i'm also 100% sure factorio devs, terraria devs or whatever other success actually WOULD play their own game.
>>560842703i dont care about having "original" ideas i just dont want people to think im copying popular games
>>560842548Shading is what determines the color of the pixel in the raster. It's happening in every render path whether you are calculating lighting or using the material color as-is.
>>560842715So nothing, fuck you betz, tranny freak
took me until now to notice my skybox was all wrong because i wasn't rotating it with quaternions
>>560842353
world building is my new favorite concept. it emphasizes the fantasy of a game so much. it's literally why pokemon felt so incredible, playing it after watching the anime.would you rather walk through a generic "medieval village" right now or through Winterfell?maybe the accidental genius behind schedule 1 was being the game for breaking bad.maybe tapping into pop culture and turning it into a game is a good idea. because they already did the world building for you.
>>560838424define "success" first
>>560842549>it's not all just randomness. who said it's ALL randomness?it's having an appealing game AND getting lucky.
>>560842353all you need for effective worldbuilding is the implication of an eventthis skull exists because a monster fought the hydra boss of this region and diedwhat was the monster? why did they fight? these questions will not be askedit leaves mystery for the player to ruminate onsimilar to how people enjoy low poly aesthetics because it leaves room for imagination in the brainit's fun to fill in knowledge gaps with personal theories
>>5608433873 and 4 should be swapped
>>560843387hoping my current game gets to level 2
>>560843387not him. i'd say you can predict success, but not a hit. some people use the word success as if making 1 million dollars isn't a success yet. but only a "hit" is success.if you can't predict that terraria would make a million you are basically a brainlet retard.
>>560843387Anything below 8 is cope objectively. 6 is dignified and somewhat realistic practically speaking thoughbeit.
still analyzing steam games and isn't it funny how all those games that "focus on one core mechanic" all have 0 reviews because it makes the game look small and laughable? lmao. a whole generation raised on bad youtuber advice.
>>560842785If you just mean filling, then why would transparency have less of it?
>>560843804so your definition of success is retirement? that you don't have to keep deving anymore?
>>560843879people who listen to e-celebs were doomed from the start. you have to be especially retarded to take your advice from people who thrive of engagement
>>560843973>>560843973>>560843973
>>560843458if you're a skilled developer you should be able to profit at least $20,000 USD per year from the cumulative efforts of your workeven if it takes 5 years to generate $100,000 profit from $500,000 total revenue, assuming brutal tax ratesblowing up generally relies on factors outside of your control, but a baseline take-home amount can be metyou will not be rich but you will be able to sustain operationsseeing indie dev as a get rich ever scheme is outright foolish
>>560843879"focus on one core mechanic" isn't enough of a metric to quantify the success odds of a gamemost indies are just absolutely clueless in regards to marketing strategiesthis isn't an insult, it makes sense given the context of the average devyou need personal contact with developers to understand the logic behind their approach to form a reliable conclusion
>>560844279https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69bc02d9f1388191924e7bdf0f931683
>>560844551lmao you tried
How many claw bots do I need to make an app that can compete with mtg arena?
>>560844279where did you come up with those numbers? sounds like vibes-based estimates. the word "skilled" is doing a lot of work in what you're saying. is the guy who made vidrel skilled?
maybe in the modern world where everything is so socialized "would others play that game" is an important question to gamers. because they want to feel like being part of a gaming community. even if it's singleplayer.
>>560843492zanzibart...
>>56084427950% of games make $1,000 - $5,000 in lifetime revenue. I always look at the median because it's not as skewed by outliers as the average.
don't spec into a shitty buildlearn marketing
>>560845197marketing without money == luck
>>560845197>>560845331good games market themselves
>>560845331only if low charisma>>560845367report back with your results soldier
>>560845416lol, implying i will make a good or even great game, i never will, you never will, stop coping
>>560845367good games == games I retroactively decided were good based on their market performance
>>560843960>>560841874Nevermind, found it.SSAO was ON by default, and it doesn't apply to transparent stuff.Disabling it equalize the performances.
>>560845521>good games == games I retroactively decided were good based on their market performancewhy the extra = you pedophile? anyway yeah, they became big because they were good games, therefor i discovered them thanks to steam, anything else? :)
>>560845483you argue in bad faith, this serves only to your detriment
>>5608433876
>>560844279Even in this fantasy, working 5 years of gamedev to earn the equivalent of 0.5-1 year of equivalent market value labor feels like a fool's errand. Keep the day job and do gamedev as a hobby.
>>560845610>ad hominem == I lost the argumentI accept your concession and submission to me. you may now leave.
>>560843387big jump from 7 to 8
>>560845804not if you invest the money from the viral hit and are okay with living modestly. yomih earned its dev around $3M and that's enough to buy a home and live off the investment indefinitely.
>>560845765>>560845689pathetic faggots, go cut yourselves already it's already over bro you're never gonna make it bros oh nooooo
nothing kills a game more than actual retro graphics. retro-inspired styles may work. but actual retro-style is just ass.
>>560839568>>560839462>>560839273zukjeet meltying
you got anons here thinking their big brains can analyze the market and figure out what hugely successful game to makebut they didn't get rich on bitcoin. if they're so smart, why didn't they buy btc for $100? why didn't Warren Buffett buy btc for $100?because some things are impossible to predict. those who got rich on btc weren't smart, they just got lucky.
good games make themselves
>>560846306plenty of games with retro graphics did very well. maybe not necessarily because retro graphics, but it didn't kill them either.
>>560846506retard
>>560843973>people who listen to e-celebs were doomed from the start. you have to be especially retarded to take your advice from people who thrive of engagementzukowski bros...
>>560846403satoshi did it right, was a big initial hoarder and then had a gambling site early on to siphon even more back to him
>>560842252That's because many big studios make games that really shouldn't work and then market it to shit until it does work.Seriously, show me almost any AAA game and I'll tell you that at an indie level that would never work.Game corporations suck at making games but are good at all the aspects indie devs are bad at, like marketing and branding.
>>560846559uhhh boongah!
>>560846784actually it's money
>>560845567>i want you to learn marketing by yourself>but i'll also take 30% from you anyway and also pay VAT and taxes at YOUR expense
>>560846840I don't earn enough to register for VAT but steam means I gotta charge VAT anywaythough granted it varies by country and it gets really fucky with an international market but stillfuck
somehow 50% of the games i browse on steam feel like the same dev made them. always this cute colorful baby art style with modern pop stock music over it.although the themes feel so different that it's probably not the same guy.maybe they learn from the same youtube channels or use the same free ai image gen model or stuff like that?
>>560847394thirdie slop
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4159480/JumPixelBike/wtf is that trailer lmao
>>560847065>I don't earn enough to register for VAT but steam means I gotta charge VAT anywayyou don't understand. the gross value on steamworks shows how much your game earned BEFORE vat and taxes. net is after and valve's 30% cut is applied to the net, not gross.so let's say you earn 1 million dollars gross from your game. great right? well no, roughly 20% of that goes to vat and valve's taxes. so you're left with 800 thousand. and THEN valve applies their cut and you're left with like around 500-450 thousand dollars that then get taxed additionaly in whatever country you live in. that's where the "you don't see 50% of your income from games on steam" number comes from.oh and if your country doesn't have a tax treaty with the united statia then you're gonna get fucked by pre-taxes even more. enjoy, gekyume.
do you guys have this same discussion in every thread? it feels like those botted surface-level arguments about which programming language is the best that happen daily on /g/.
>>560847620gabencunt stuff is not botted but paid thirdies
steamies be like:>wtf why are you dicussing the biggest PC gaming platform that you have to put your game on to make money? and why are you criticising it? you must be a paid botsome psychiatrist should really look into the curious case of the valve cult
>>560846784Resident Evil 9 is hard proof of this. It's essentially a AAA budget version of a unity horror game. Zero charisma.
people arguing about the amount of games released nowadays really ignore how inflated that number is. i just analyzed 100 new games and at least 95 of them were absolute indian slop platformers with 0 content and laughable music/sound design etc. - basically like hobby projects of little girls.it's a piss poor way to measure actual game releases via steam. cause literally everybody can release anything on that platform. you can just make a game about pressing a banana and put it on steam.
>>560848110>you can just make a game about pressing a banana and put it on steam.that will probably make more money than any game you'd put real effort in though
>>560847842how about the curious case of the seething artist who thinks others should pay him to live, that's you, post your game that is actually good, ill wait, retarded nigger, bet you have not even BEGUN to dev literally at all, fuck you
>>560848110if your game was among them, we'd think it's slop too.
>>560848765settle down, zukjeeti'm sure watching 1000 youtube gamedev e-celebs will make your game materialize one day
>>5608433876-8 are the only valid measures for someone making a commercial product. Anything above 8 is more of a curse since it will follow you for the rest of your life even if you want to escape it.Anything below 6 is a valid goal for amateurs and hobbyists.If you post here you should be aiming for 6 or below, anyone expecting anything above 6 here is a delusional nodev fag.Someone will respond to this post with a tiresome "MY game will be a 10" but instead of attaching an image of their game they'll attach a bocchi or some fag reaction image garbage, this is because they dont make games.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4446000/The_Winter_Adventurer/this is your competition. good luck winning. gamedev is an extremely competitive market.
>>560849351>pixelshitIm good thanks
>>560849351except you don't need to beat the bottom 20% games, you need to beat the top 5% games.
>>560849039>>560848765
>>560849047the problem is that "your only move is to hustle" is a 5. it will earn the dev some passive income but it won't be enough to sustain gamedev as a career unless you also get lucky with investing that money and double it. commercial gamedev, even if you go solo, is quite expensive.and also do note that he probably didn't get ALL of those 4 mil or at once. 50-60% was eaten by taxesso in order to get a 6 you have to be even more successful than yomith

can't believe all the retards in this thread, sit down for a few months or a few years and create a good game, does not matter if it's big or small in scope as long as you get it done and the game is actually objectively "good" for it's genre it will sell
>>560849351Ffffuck me, AIbro finally made a gameit has a whole choir and such high quality art! how can I ever compete
gamedev is extremely hard, you are competing with masterpieces like this released every single day on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3830700/Solar_Defense/there's literally no chance of winning.
>>560849829>objectively "good"

560849914560849829keep meltying, jeet boymaybe 500 more melties in /agdg/ will get you a game, who knows?
i like those steam trailers where you are like "wtf am i even looking at? i have no idea whats happening."
>>560849671the dev probably got $2.5 million in the bank. if we consider $65k/year as minimum income ($65k pre income taxes, median income for a worker in the US) to live a not-terrible life, he'll have 38 years of income even if he doesn't earn another dollar.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4281340/Beanos/this game broke me, i gave up. i can't compete with this. 1000 games released each month and they all are good like that. why would people even play my game when they can also play Beanos?

>>560851263>ways for newbies to learn the gameI don't have anything to show for that yet, but it is in the works.Originally I wanted multiple enemy types, but it ended up being beyond my expertise and budget.
>>560851370This looks the same as every other gambleslop game
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2895040/Demons_Regalia_Colosseum/if a masterpiece like this didn't get even one review in more than a year, what chance does my game have?
This is the first real feedback you receive after 4 years developing your tower defense game. How do you reply without sounding mad?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2723340/Dynamic_destruction/it's truly over for us with this level of quality being published on steam every day
>>560851432It's fine to scope things down and very often devs think they need more enemies or bosses or classes than they really do,but in this case you can't just put the shotgun game's clothes on and pretend you can also get away with one enemy because the shotgun game did. Players will look for indications of how much content the game has by seeing different environments / enemies / etc and so if there's just one environment with just one enemy they'll be wary.Of course, it does scope things up a lot. Having a lazy, generic enemy stand-in and then having the current one as a boss might work.But the newbie thing is important. Your main market will be (I don't know if you're polled it, maybe you should) players who are aware of mahjong but haven't actually played and are willing to learn, and would buy a game like this since they can learn it in a low-stakes / solo environment... maybe. I'm guessing.
Why do I visit these threads? Am I punishing myself by exposing myself to crabs?
>>560820680Oh nice. I'm gonna see if I can 8bit them.Sorry, I went to bed at around 2:30 and when I woke up today 4chan was down for maintenance so I couldn't check the response for a while.
>>560851775You can choose to suffer a little now by taking the ego hit when the "crabs" humble you, or you can choose to suffer far more later when your NGMI garbage inevitably flops.
>>560852837>implying crabs give honest and useful feedbackalthough if they tell 98% of anons their game is shit, they'll be correct 97% of the time even without seeing their game.
>>560852837What does being a bully do?
>>560851769>Having a lazy, generic enemy stand-in and then having the current one as a boss might work.That was something I thought about too. Obviously I am borrowing liberally from Akagi and Kaiji here, so I was going to have generic guys in suits as the standard opponents, with actual characters for the boss levels. It's visual flair that I might need, but it doesn't add anything more than that.

>>560853664I'm just talking shit, I don't know why it's a success. I imagine because the gameplay is fun and some e-celeb promoted it and because it appeals to the kind of retards that play Roblox games.

Currently adjusting grabs. For now they're getting nerfed, where grabbing a target doesn't automatically stun the target. You can see in this video I make multiple grabs I get forced out of because the enemy manages to swing their bardiche, stunning me. Next I'm going to make it so tapping the dodge button can break you out of a grab.

I'm actually having fun playing the game I made. I didn't think this was possible.
>>560862856
>>560862981I had fun playing every game I made. half of them were flops.
I measure success by how many people actually like the game rather than how much money it made.It's why I consider Fortnite a flop, because there is no real fanbase.
>>560863854>It's why I consider Fortnite a flop
>>560863902Name one person who legitimate likes Fortnite on a deep level rather than "It's fun."
I measure success by how much fan art is made of the game rather than how much money it made.It's why I consider Fortnite very successful.
>>560864293i don't care what your definitions are tranny freak, it's not a flop, cope and seethe
Disrupting traditional frameworks is essential.I’m feeling incredibly frustrated with current industry protocols.We need to move past these outdated systems.Reflecting on the challenges of navigating persistent professional scrutiny.
>>560864678 What is not perfect: - a few tiny interjections ended up as Unknown - there are some local transcription errors in wording - the recording starts mid-thought, so the very beginning has less anchoring context So my actual confidence is: - high confidence on the two main speakers - low importance / low confidence on the short Unknown fragments - good enough for the raw transcript and definitely good enough for the gamedev-side synthesis
>>560864293For this to be a serious conversation you're going to need to define the subjective terms you're using. What does it mean for someone's enjoyment to be legitimate, and how do you quantify the deepness of that enjoyment?
>>560865796Understandable. I mean like, do you see people drawing real fanart of it or having legitimate discussions of the game's theming.I never see anyone, ANYONE mention anything like atmosphere or anything unique the game does
So is this where the yesdevs hang out?
>>560864740I'm not sure I'm fully aligned with the current direction. It sounds like we're navigating some minor ambiguity, but it's nothing that requires a pivot or immediate escalation, correct?
whenever you read serious gamedev advice online, do the exact opposite. ofc don't do the opposite of ironic advice, goes that's already opposited.
>>560866373don't not make games, ever or maybe do
ひらめいた
>>560866023>do you see people drawing real fanart of it or having legitimate discussions of the game's theming.>I never see anyone, ANYONE mention anything like atmosphere or anything unique the game doesYou don't see it therefore it doesn't exist. Fortnite has a huge community, you're being disingenuous or are retarded. Tons of fan art, tons of discussions, tons of people creating content for the game. Fortnite is a terrible example for you even if it is corporate slop.

Got grab breaks working. Right now the way it works is you tap the dodge button to try to break the grab. Every tap will reduce your stamina by the same amount a dodge would, but it reduces the enemy's stamina as well. Once the enemy's stamina is brought to zero, the grab breaks and you're pushed away from each other. I'll probably modify it so hammering the dodge button as fast as possible isn't required.>>560860192Thanks.

Now you give devs an infinite pool of generated assets to pick from and people lose their goddamn minds.

It's an RPG in the same way Diablo or Dark Souls is, not in the same way Baldurs Gate or Fallout is an RPG. Moku is an action and exploration game, first and foremost.

>>560877452>>560881049okay, looking at it, it is very obviously not AIIt is stiff and kinda art commission-ey rather than something you'd expect of a game but it seems they used a 3D model and drew over it. It is consistent, there's another image from a different angle.So the "your art is stiff" is the only thing you can really derive from that besides "people are retarded sometimes". I think it's ridiculous we expect 100% of steam reviews to be 100% honest and not written by retards.

>>560889163This code is a C program that uses preprocessor macros and obfuscation to obscure its functionality.How the code worksThe program relies on several #define macros to hide standard C syntax:Z(x): Creates typedef aliases. For example, Z(int) expands to typedef unsigned int Zint;.W and Q(n): The line W; Q(T); defines a structure and then attempts to declare it. Note that Q(T) expands to TT;, which is syntactically invalid in standard C unless TT is a defined type, suggesting the code is intentionally broken or obfuscated to prevent easy compilation.R(x): This is the core logic. It takes a value x and performs a bitwise XOR operation (^) with 0x40 (decimal 64).U s[]: This defines an array of characters initialized with these XORed values.V (and the main loop): The program loops through the array s and uses putchar to print each character to the terminal.The OutputWhen executed, the program does not print the original, human-readable characters. Because the program prints the raw, XORed values stored in the array s, the output is "mangled."For example, the first character is initialized as R(0x79) (which is 0x79 ^ 0x40 = 0x39). 0x39 is the ASCII character '9'.If you were to "reverse" the operation (XORing each character again with 0x40), the code would reveal the original string, which is: "you're a faggot". However, because the code performs the XOR but prints the result directly, it outputs a sequence of symbols and garbage text rather than this phrase.SummaryThe code is a form of C obfuscation (often used in code golf or puzzles) designed to hide a message by encoding it with XOR logic. It is not functional standard C code due to the syntax errors (specifically the Q(T) macro) and is designed to obscure its content rather than perform a practical utility.

riddle me thisi am storing and networking my item data like thisi am adding durability to armor which is just a number from 0-100 or somethingwithout extending item data at all, that means durability has to live inside of NetMetadata, which is a hash table of bytestrings. i directly cast the bytestrings to and from a number every time i read/write item durability, including when the value updates, when something containing or holding the item is networked, and when the UI icon for the item updates (which happens lazily not every frame or anything)is this silly? should I instead move it out of metadata, and define it next to itemId and count, even though most items dont have durability? am i overthinking this?

I've finally come to the conclusion that I don't actually want to make a game, I just have a creative drive and happen to like video games. Realistically I'd be happy making anything, whether it be writing a short story or drawing a picture or even just cooking something. I need to become better at differentiating between when I actually WANT to do something and when my brain is telling me "wouldn't it be cool if I could make something like this". I don't need to act on every impulse I get to drop what I'm doing and start a new project. I wish I'd understood this before wasting 2 years of my life on a game that I was never going to finish, but oh well.
>>560900616>pivots to writing a story>doesn't finish that eithergrass is greener
>>560901103Writing a story doesn't require me to waste months of my life learning how to program, 3D model, texture said 3D model, animate said 3D model, and import said 3D model with its textures an animation into an engine which I then have to spend more months of my life learning how to use.

>>560906669oh yeah? how much did it cost you?
>>560906808I was able to notice it in time so the damage wasn't too big. Just like $10. Still 4x the value I'm paying for Google One monthly though.Regardless, a significant number of people had far worse bills from doing a similar mistake but apparently a number of them were able to get it dismissed by arguing with support about it.

>>560909637Use AI
>>560909772Never hear anyone talk about AI sound effects.I guess its pretty much impossible to avoid them now because if you get your sounds from freesound how the fuck would you know if its AI or not?

>>560909859what sound do you need?
>>560911548Ask AI to design a prompt
This is still way too buggy, but I managed to get him to sheathe the sword and stuff

>>560915376 - Claude was the most dismissive. It called it the wrong market, wrong tier, basically nothing transferable. - GPT-5.4 also ranked it last, but still thought the credibility/stat strip idea was useful. - GPT-5.3 Codex was similar to 5.4: weak visual reference, but decent reminder for trust signals and metrics. Net difference - Agreement: visually weak benchmark - Difference: - Claude: almost total write-off - 5.4 / 5.3: weak aesthetically, but not useless for proof framing

>>560911767Premium factor: 2/10. This is a game with no visual ambition. It serves its audience (losers) but offers nothing transferable to a real indie game context.

If you aren’t using every tool available to ship your slop, you’re just going to be another "ideas guy" posting devlogs for a game that will never have a builds folder.The real filter isn't the AI, it's the fact that you've spent three hours scrolling this thread instead of fixing your player controller's state machine. LLMs are just the new middleware. Ten years ago you’d be complaining that using Unity isn't "real programming" because you didn't write your own engine in C++.Post a webGL build or stop doomposting and get back to work.

This might look like my last post but there was a lot of work behind the scenes. Basic mesh system is up. Meshes are intended to be objects in the 3D world. Still need to set up camera and instanced rendering so you can have multiple mesh copies.The hard part, the foundation, is done though.The code generates pipelines at runtime from one GLSL file using the C-style preprocessor macros that GLSL supports. Currently you can provide any possible combination of the following vertex attributes: position, color, and normals (with position required) and additional features: wireframe (only one feature so far, will add more).Meshes consist of offsets into a single vertex and index buffer. The vertex buffer is partitioned by vertex attribute combinations.(While there will be many possible combinations, the actual runtime partitions will be much smaller, so you register the attribute combinations to an index.) So when drawing the vertex buffer is bound for each of these partitions and the index buffer is bound once.At some point it might be a good idea to set up indirect drawing to reduce the number of draw calls to 1.
>>560923176wouldnt buy a single one of them
