167 days left, maybe less if my income keeps falling. Yesterday I made a list of things my game needs, ordered by priority, so if I have to release it sooner it won't have something major missing. It's a depressingly long list.Today I'll be working on fixing the economy. In my game. It's so broken that it's the priority despite everything else that's missing or broken. I so want to be working on UI and effects and make everything less ugly, but I made a list and that's that.
>>560926410what game are you making?

>>560926860Cool I'm going to add it to my wishlist later.
>>560926860Send keys to the bald man.
>>560926678I'd rather not say in case I want to make some even more embarrassing confessions down the line. It's nothing special though. I have little faith in it but I don't know what else I can do in 6 months that would have a better shot.

>>560928048NorthernLion he's the patron saint of employed basedjaks all over the world
>>560928178Why did she marry that creature?
I want to make a game that people have fun playing but its a game that I don't care what people think about it, I just make the game I have in me.
>>560928523you know why
>>560928523tall, blue eyed, rich, naturally sakayaki (I had to look that up, I'm not a weeb)
hot take>engine deving is cooler than game deving
>>560928657>>560928697Rich? Because other than that, I don't understand why she would get anywhere near that bald, degenerated creature.And why would blue eyes be special? It is just an eye color.
>>560928735are you sure you're not just afraid of facing the market's indifference to your game? it's like guys who looksmaxx but never talk to women. sooner or later you'll need to show what you got and face the judgement.t. cowardly looksmaxxer and permadev
>>560928804>And why would blue eyes be special? It is just an eye color.you know why
>>560928919it's not that, I just love the craft, the technicalities

>>560928735When did basic honesty become so controversial?
>>560928523Asians are shallow people who only care about success, Asian parents brainwash their kids into marrying a successful person for a girl and becoming a doctor/engineer for a boy. They also believe that white males are statistically more successful so that's why, money.
>>560929514>lists nothing but objectively true statements
>>560843387In what world is Undertale not a 10? Sans is in fucking Smash Bros and even Pope Francis knew what it was.
>>560929514>Asian parents brainwash their kids into marrying a successful personall parents do that, it's just that Asian kids are more deferential to their parents than degenerate western kids are
>>560928987No, I don't. Blue eyes are, at most, a very, very vague indication. When it comes to an individual, then the individual should be judged.Besides, people fake all kinds of things these days, and there is something called "colored contacts", apparently.And it wouldn't be surprising if having narrow, black eyes becomes something that some people imitate and deceive regarding, especially given how things are going.
>>560928735>>560929457More like hobby engine development is frequently an excuse for dishonest, incompetent faggots like (You).

finna indeed cuffbustfinna cuff in this bust
>>560928601cool. I started doing that. but, it's hard to shut off the don't care part. I did a playtest and people thought it was great. I did a second playtest with different people and one person said it was a chore. I still haven't recovered from that.
>>560930914i stil havent recovered from my first game flopping, and cancelling all the prototypes between after that, and now im making a sequel to the first game that floppedit seems to be an insurmountable ordeal
>>560929514>Asians are shallow people who only care about success,Shallow like Michael Jackson having all kinds of surgeries to look different? The justification for the makeup was vitiligo. Or Michelle Obama, straightening her hair while simultaneously blaming others for her own choice to change her appearance? Or the tradition in Europe centuries ago of bald or black-haired men wearing white-colored wigs to better fit in and pretend to be different?Ought to instead enforce quality and then be proud of some collection's appearance, no matter what it is.
>>560926613>>560924896The "for now" energy drink can design. I wanna make it like a "pretentious product that you will buy once, taste mediocre, and then never again"

>>560931927genius!
progress: the last cake was delicious so I'm baking another one right now
is it too late to make a shadow tower-like
I know what I need to do.
>>560931927Its a reference to that. As in, you burnout, when your "fire for work" is out from your body right? Now the fire is kept inside, the opposite of burnout.Sounds dumb? Yea it is, but i imagine thats what out of touch CEOs would think about, when designing an "energy drink for working class" kek

>>560932561Nah else they would be going for ethnicities with bigger penises, large penis fetishes introduced in porn are primarily a male fetish and not a female one, women do not buy huge dildos they buy average sized ones because large insertions means nerve damage and pain, ironically big cock = male gaze.
>>560932443it's truly over for everyone who used their brain for a living. time to learn to unclog toilets I guess
>>560932826That's dicklet cope. "Average dildos" women use are 7-8 inches. 6 inches dildos are considered extra small. Below 6 inches they don't exist.

>>560932443He doesn't even understand how Street Fighter works so how could he possibly evaluate it? Within the first interaction you can tell that there's nothing Street Fighter-like under the hood
>>560932983Nope and I know this for a fact, women prefer discreet and small dildos and rely more on vibrators to get off than your pornbrained gigantic dildos, that's literally a male fetish but that being said it's purely cultural and shifts depending on the culture or era, the Greek/Roman thought that large penises were barbaric and preferred small peepees as a sign of a superior civilized male, and now straight males prefer large cocks thanks to the efforts of the American adult industry. Men are the ones drawing comically large penises on women too, take some accountability.If you still doubt I invite you to look at the size of the penises in yaoi artwork and compare it to male gaze erotic drawings.>>560933025I would rather not talk about penises but I'm not the one who started this discussion either.

>>560933607I can segue this into something vaguely gamedev, the reason why futa cocks are drawn so huge is because it makes sense proportionally when they're given womanly hips and thighs. Drawing it normal size would make it look smaller than it is, I guess you can use this to design visually strong characters by giving them narrow hips instead of beefing them up like crazy for example.>>560932826The fetish introduced in porn is just a fetish it isn't based in reality. There are no meaningful differences except regions where protein consumption is low. It's only vaguely correlated with height which makes white europeans come out on top contrary to "savage steals your woman" fetish porn.

This dev used to post here no? Should someone tell them not to release near a steam sale?

>>560942249BP. Now that you mention it, I should make it again in C++.
>>560942270Don’t be a stupid nigger and don’t lose time porting to Linux o algo. I say this as a UEfag who replaced all FORCEINLINE by __forceinline.
>>560941839good job with pong. I hope you also made it so when you quit and continue it saves progress and that it can dynamically resize everything on aspect ratio changes and that you can remap controls. the pong mechanic itself is not very useful for general gamedev, it's just the simplest one. it's all the other things around the mechanic that you're going to be using in every game.
>>560942634You should make it in C++ with Slate. That’s very precisely what Slate is good at programming. Pure code, nothing in the editor.

>>560944321It's cringe and the wave of people buying the game just to feel good about themselves are also cringeSell a game, not a parasocial sob story
Everyone's talking about the tower defense dev (not the game, all you talk about is the eceleb streamer behind it)Meanwhile, I've been enjoying the schizo minecraft clone that just appeared with zero marketing.And it's doing much better (almost 2k reviews) than the eceleb who streamed for 4 years straight and got all his eceleb friends to stream it.Curious.

>>560942634>>560942809Here some foundations to start it up.
>>560942659Thanks, anon. I didn't bother with saving yet, but the game works in world space (only the scores are in a UI widget) so aspect ratio affects what's drawn but not the game dimensions and I did use input actions/mapping. I agree, Pong is the trivial example of a game. What I learned wasn't how to make Pong but the basics of materials, blueprints, sounds, etc.>>560942809I hadn't even heard of Slate. I'll read up on it. Thanks for the suggestion.
>>560945082What the fuck is a quirk chungus
>>560945454oh, right, i forgot jeets only got internet en masse in 2023 so you wouldn't even know something as common as the chungus meme
>>560944712I hate whodevs so much.Cakez put years of hard work into his game and building up a supportive community from scratch. I was there from the very beginning, I'm glad I was able learn from him. Hell, I think we may have even formed a bond after all that time spent chatting.I'm sick of pretending that building and moderating online gathering places isn't real dev work. It takes time and dedication to build up a community that fosters real human connections.And then this person just drops this shit on steam and people just gobble it up. They don't even know the person who made it.I looked it up and barely any big streamers are playing it. No one knows anything about the game, they just see quirky screenshots and click 'buy'. It's not fair

>>560945894Just don’t dev a nigger game or a visual novel aka a roastie / tranny game. If your game is a white man game or at the very least Asian (NOT South Asian), with actual depth, actual mechanics and actual Homo Sapiens lines of code (> 10,000), you’ll sell well regardless of marketing strategy.

Then maybe I'll be competent enough to solodev something I would actually want to play. And learning to music on the side.
multiplayer now works through the internet, IP ID assigned one client per session so you can't multiaccount on the same IP, plus everything currently in the game is synced and working for latejoining and multiple reconnections

>>560950194>At that point, am I even using the engine? I switched to Unreal to focus on 3D because I can't into 2D art.What do you mean? Slate is the underlying language of UMG and all of Unreal Engine’s UI. If you want to do somewhat complex UI systems you’ll have to dig into Slate at some point. The advantage of Slate is that it’s pure code and vastly more performant than UMG, which is itself vastly more performant than Blueprint.

>>560950729Unreal 5 is such a pile of shit for video games, who cares how many bells and whistles are prepackaged in. The engine is beyond bloated and runs like shit on the most commonly used hardware per steam surveys.
>>560941907Crabby-chan my beloved ...>>560950932looks like lisp to me, a language for the gifted and the distrubed.
>>560951509>distrubed
>>560950806>roastie
>>560951492That’s not the engine per se, that’s the UObject system. Fortunately you can do whatever you want because of C++, including make most objects plain C++ classes stored in continuous static memory. Which is faster than any other possible alternative. I’m always near 120 FPS and my game is HUGE.

>>560941907Cute
>>560951338It's uncommon for games to use Slate directly because UMG covers 98% of use cases and almost everyone prefers WYSIWG workflows over writing code for UIs. >>560951492Gamer moment

>>560951742I'm tired ....
it takes like 3 weeks maybe sometimes four at my job for me to do a character model from sculpt to retopology and texture, and I'm not even the one rigging and animating it that's my coworkers job. so doing high fidelity PBR as a solodev would be completely unfeasible. i'm trying to find some interesting stylized look that I could make in much less time but everything i find looks like total dogshit. anyone got any good suggestions for games with simple styles that still look good?

>>560951994Don't know much about Godot, but C++ in UE enables doing literally anything. Though I agree that the engine is bloated and has architectural flaws, in the end there is C++ and so it wins the contest hands down. It's no wonder AAA studios pick UE over the alternatives.

I can have a fully modeled, textured, rigged and animated character in 2 weeks if I apply myself

>>560952067>It's uncommon for games to use Slate directly because UMG covers 98% of use cases and almost everyone prefers WYSIWG workflows over writing code for UIs.If you mean writing C++ code in classes derived from UUserWidget and then Blueprint them so set the default UI elements visually in the editor, I might agree (although complex UI classes need digging into Slate). But I feel you're just a filtered Blueprint monkey.
>>560953228AAA picks Unity > UE > everything else because those companies spend the most money evangelizing at universities and thus have the largest pools of employee that they don't need to train as much to hire from. The incentives at large studios are not the same as those of a solo indie dev.

>>560964020truth is, the puzzle genre is one of the worst genres to release toit could be the best game ever and it could still flop

what the hell do i do with this
Another inner circle game has released. Is federx still working on (a)woken? If not we might finally be at the end of an era.
I'm making a traditional roguelike game in Godot, and rather than take the traditional approach of iterating over tiles to determine line of sight and fog of war, I'm using light sources, occlusion, and raycasting. It works visually and data-wise, but it means I lose the "old school" look of individual tiles being shaded, and instead I have the paint-brush effect on my FOW. Putting aside the Kenny 1-bit assets, am I making a stylistic error by having rounded FOV/FOG in my very square world? Offloading FOW/FOV to the engine has saved me a ton of frame computation time.
>>560964669it makes for a huge difference, in the event of refunds for example the recipient is not entitled to the VAT
>>560964902Neat.
>>560964694IDK, what do you want to do?

>>560964765that's a literal tranny edit, and it's not even a .gifKILL YOURSELF!!!
For those who don't know, many countries have laws where the shelf price of an item MUST be exactly what the customers pays. This is not the case in the US, where instead, sales tax is added "at the register" as a separate line item. This is also why the Steam recommended regional pricing profile for VAT countries like Europe is higher than non-VAT countries like China or Russia, because they're building that extra VAT into the price.

>>560963696>>560964296I should also add that owning an LLC or being a sole proprietor can work very differently depending on where in the EU you live. In Sweden for example you can pay yourself dividends upwards of $23k/20k€ per year and only pay 20% corporate tax to avoid paying the regular ~30% wage tax. If you then start earning serious money, mind you this is where company structure optimizing starts, if you pay out just over 100k in salaries yearly, if you pay yourself ~50k of that in salary you pay 35% in tax on that and then you can pay an additional 50% of the total salaries paid out yearly in the company as dividends for the 20% tax. If you pay out 200-300k yearly i gets more interesting where you can technically pay out 3-5x your salary as dividends.
>>560966856you should be nicer to them, you know. you could be the next victim of the gabencunt wrath.

>>560964902It's too early of a prototype to tell, but as is, FOV looks a bit rough. There's no falloff so the cone of vision is very harsh.I'd have the tiles that are partially visible or near the edge of the light be shaded differently. Maybe have the falloff of the light source be dithered? Can use a light projector for that. Multiple light sources, inner and outer FOV cone and emissive lights might also hide the issue.
Success breeds jealousy.
>>560966132Okay, I'll throw a few themes out then.>Space aliens>Ghosts and demons>Asylum inmates
>>560967453This can be a real trap that keeps devs spinning their wheels for years. They have a vague idea for gameplay, spin up a prototype, hit a wall when it comes time to build genuine content, then give up and start a new project. All the dopamine of "finishing" prototypes and features without making progress towards anything shippable.
>>560968454
>>560964902looks alright, maybe you can tie it to game mechanics somehow, tiles that are partially obscured maybe only gives limited information on what's there?
>>560968679the sex camp
>>560968679joshua relax
>>560964902I think it's completely fine stylistically and just needs better art assets, maybe softer edges as the other anon suggested. If you have the light source waver around a little bit like it's a lantern being held by the player character it might be a neat effect.

>>560968374agreed, the current "fov brush" is just a white circle, and some fall off with transparency would make it look a lot nicer. I hadn't considered dithering, I'm using PointLight2D, so this is something I can look into I think. Do you think with some visual touching up the rounded aspect is okay with the square world?

>>560970842It's not worth listening to the opinions of people who don't buy games. There's a vocal audience who cries about DRM, or games not going on sale, or woke, or any random perceived slight and you can dismiss everything they say out of hand because they don't buy games. Focus on the people who are actually customers instead of the broke losers ranting on the curb.
Reminder to plan adequately. If there are questions that you have to answer mid-code, you haven't planned enough.
>>560970297The discord is trash, I got banned for defending AI usage. They cried at me to post my game, I post it. They said they didn't believe that it was my game and banned me. Kek.

>>560969283> Do you think with some visual touching up the rounded aspect is okay with the square world?I'm not entirely sure I understood what you mean, but yeah you can have round FOV/lighting in a tile-based world. It depends entirely on execution and you might need to play with ambient lighting and light sources more than tile-based lighting/FOV.
>>560973797I'm realizing this question I'm asking comes from a place of emotional baggage. The roguelike community is deeply autistic in a way that even 4X players don't understand. There are people who scoff at tiles at all (should be ascii!) so I think was anticipating some form of autistic hatred without realizing it. In other words, I have some imaginary RL player telling me everything must be squares. Perhaps its best to ignore that inner monologue
>>560972854>why tf has no dev made a gemmy game yet?because memes are a cancer
My game … if only I had more magic potion to finish it. It’s not some VN or some timid roguelite waste of bytes. It’s the most ambitious indie strategy game ever made. I alone do the work of a hundred people.

I don't think anyone who is playing a RL cares about graphics, they put up with terrible shit all the time. If the game's good, they can probably stomach a different art-style more than other demographics. What matters more is richness of mechanics and the interactions between them. Ignore the inner monologue, it can only lead to unhappiness. One is happiest when they are in a state of flow, locked in, deving, music hitting just right. The inner monologue is a distraction from that state. It serves no purpose, has no worth and should just kill itself. Allow the intrusive thoughts to pass by, recognize it as a bad habit, but keep deving.

>>560977283The Steam algo doesn't care about reviews at all. It cares about CCU. Dragonkin: The Banished is the bottom title on my N&T, currently at 1883 players while PAT is only at 175 (which is respectable, but far from making it). This is just an unlucky week with well over a dozen much better releases.
>>560976550you would sell way more if you had the game at $10 in EA and $15 on release
Did PAT prove that Twitter is literally worthless and doesn’t convert to anything?Did PAT prove that wishlists have no power?
>>560976180kek, that explains why joshie has melties when froggy posts something
>>560977283The review count for the "new & trending" exposure is a meme, what only matters are sales and revenue, that's why sometimes you often see games with just 20 reviews still in the new and trending tab.You are correct about releasing a game on a Steam Sale tho.
>>560977964i'm figuring out social interactions at about 1/10 the speed of a normal person. please be patient.
>>560974062It’s called perfectionism and it’s both a blessing and a curse. You need to learn to neuter the curse part of it else you’ll permadev into oblivion.

>>560977943Right now it's like that inverse bell curve meme. People with zero knowledge are blown away by what ML tooling can do because they have no frame of reference and anything impresses them. Mid-level devs are lukewarm on it because they know enough to recognize its limits but can't see how it fits with the work they do. Then experienced devs love it because they're used to thinking at higher level, outlining requirements, and offloading tasks to juniors so agents fit naturally in their workflow.
>>560979261>my game doesn't stand an ice cube's chance in hell.that's the wrong way to look at it. sure, in 95% of scenarios it probably doesn't. but on one good day, or if one e-celeb notices your game, and your life could be changed overnight.gamedev is a lottery, and this is both a blessing and a curse.
>>560978153it hasn't even been out for half a day yet calm downbut it may prove that puzzle games, as we already know, are an awful genre
>>560972457This. if you're keep track of posters that don't have "dev" in their name you already lost
>>560979426take a look at this, for example. most jeets ITT would call this game NGMI, and it technically was, for literally 3 years it has sub 30 reviews. and then one day in october it blew up to 100 reviews, and then steadily grew to 1000. having a good game just buys you more lottery tickets so to speak.

>>560980482You sound extremely mad and are blaming the engine for something that I guarantee is 100% your fault. To be completely honest you just sound retarded so try Unreal/Unity but I am positive you'll run into many self ownage issues in those engines too. Do what you want, keep crying about how retarded you are I don't really care.
>>560980438>pixel art puzzle game vs>3D streamerbait wacky horror game Bro.
i find unreal engine unusable. crashes like 5 times per 30 minutes. horrible performance.i'm in the camp of people who really like the engine for its features and i really want to like the engine and use it. but everytime i do use it i just get so blackpilled about the engine.i actually love using unity because it just werks, but what i hate about unity is that it's missing a bunch of features unreal has. also unreal has all those free assets and a shitload of nice tutorials of people making cool stuff in it.but man, when i actually USE the engine, i just hate it hate it hate it.
playing 3D games always kills my motivation to keep working on my scoped 2D game. i shall never ever touch 3D games again.
How do you make a game "appeal to streamers"?

i think there's value in bad youtube advice. it kinda challenges my critical thinking and i come up with my own good conclusions. last time i did that it made me yesdev hard for full 2 months. but then my motivation vanished as i consumed less and less thoughts of other people.i think the real problem isn't hearing bad advice, the real problem is being shut off from any advice/opinions. because whatever you hear at least inspires you in one or another way. similar to adults being bad examples so you do the opposite of what they do.
>>560982118Is it your fault?
>>560982180example: me wanting to make 3D game -> i don't question itseeing someone else making 3D game -> thinking they are dumb and not scoping correctly and doing the opposite of what they dosomehow mistakes become more obvious when others make them. when you do them yourself you are almost blind to them.

>>560982053That's a bit of a contrived example but easily fixed by right clicking the folder and running Update Redirector References. Redirectors aren't new to 5, moving an asset automatically creates redirectors so existing references know where the new assets are located.

>>560984819You don't need something unique to get a following, the best you can do is build something that's entirely derivative of other popular works but you do it right fixing most of the issues. That's what Blizzard did for 20 years and they dominated the entire gaming industry
>>560984831>what happened to [agdg prototype number #17536525]?The same thing that happened to [agdg prototype number #17536524], now stop asking.
>>560984286Just like how Undertale became popular. With luck and a cultivated rabid fanbase that will attack any criticism.
>>560983871>>560984039Do they ever say what the reason for the fork was? Replacing Jolt? Migrating some weird Unity component? Part of me wonders if it's a game journalist misunderstanding what an extension is. I've extended Godot for things like high performance path-finding and other stuff.

>>560985081a shame. I'd rather play this than nuns & guns or wasteland bites. I'm totally out of touch and ngmi
>>560985308Yeah, that's a pretty reasonable assumption actually. I'm guessing they're not like other tech-related journalists. To be obnoxious about it, I don't think forking an open source engine to customize it to your needs is a knock. If anything that seems like a big advantage. I was lucky it let me write some C for what I needed that worked in GDScript.

>>560986139Who says I'm not?
>>560985487It's not out of touch with gamers. Steam gamers also love these kind of games. It's out of touch with the realities of gamedev and what's actually a reasonably scoped project. You'd know this if you weren't a fucking nodev loser who lurks agdg for years and saves random progress posts without ever trying to make anything yourself.

>>560985967can you explain to me? not looking for confrontation or to be a bitch about anything. just curious about your take on it.
>>560985967I understand why they're popular I just don't care about those games. Wrinkle AS.
>>560984286as you play you learn, "oh I should have... oh next time I'll.." and that loop is very fun!
>>560980637>>560980698>>560981131>Nah dude, this other game is totally invincible because it has a publisherInto the fires. Dragaea is the last successful anon.
>>560986995Way to go making shit up. Nobody said anything about a publisher, moron.
Based on my steam demo and itch data my game will flop, should I give up on June nextfes and projecthop into a more market friendly game aiming for an Autumn nextfes demo? I'm fucking lost..
>>560987571What game?
people obsessed with "making it" don't actually make it - "it" being their game
>>560987823Very rarely do people motivated purely by money actually produce anything. It's typically the people who have the autistic fixation on the act of making a specific thing who produce the most and best quality work.
>>560987823you're kind of damned if you, damned if you don't here. if you finish your game, you are a flopdev. if you don't finish you are a nodev. being a flopdev is not held in higher esteem than being a nodev. the crabs declare victory in either case. only winning move is to not use /agdg/.
>>560987823We don't have just a single game. We have dozens. The game is just a means to an end.
>>560988076money is even a huge demotivator. why?a) can you prove something makes money? no.b) if you can't prove it can make money, then why do it?see, it's a logical fallacy basically that makes you avoid working on anything. because if you need proof that something makes money, then you will not work on anything. because proving that question is impossible.actually gamedev is more about allowing yourself to make a stupid financial decision because you really want to do it.
>>560988139I still believe Pogo3D is one big streamer away from being a huge hit. It even has potential to be a tiktok background footage game like Subway Surfer, it's just fun to watch. It's easily the best AGDG game I own.
>>560988310Your IQ just isn't high enough. You can't prove that any single poker hand will win you money, but you can mathematically prove a game theory optimal strategy for any given poker hand.
>>560988449It's a little too slow and not juicy enough for that.
I gotta fix this
>>560988139needs spring physics anim
>>560988139>The game is just a means to an end.i know what you mean. i can't help but think there must be more to life than working on my little hobby projects no one likes on the other hand.
>>560988483i agree that it's possible. but the brain will still be very critical about it. i think my point stands that extrinsic motivation can work well if the reward is 100% promised (like in games), but it can work completely against you when you have to take risks and have some faith in order to make it.
>>560986623It's just the 2D skeletal animation look. That's how flash was animated and games that use spine look like flash games because they're animated like flash.
>>560988310>actually gamedev is more about allowing yourself to make a stupid financial decision because you really want to do it.I don't see game dev as a financial decision. It's just a hobby. If you don't enjoy doing it, don't do it. People who tally their hours spent working on things in their free time to see if it's worth it or not are soulless automatons.I don't know where you're from, but this mentality has infested everything here in America. People are desperate to monetize all of their hobbies and turn them into "side hustles", even if it means destroying the enjoyment they or other people get from that hobby. Just do what makes you happy.
>>560988853>Just do what makes you happy.Financial freedom would make me more happy than anything else.
I've been re-watching Lost and I'm thinking about making a game completely unrelated to the show all together. No island, no forest, no trees, no ocean. Good idea? Let me know, chat!
>>560988853>people want to have money to buy food and sheltershocking.
people: "i want freedom and hate working cause its soulless and dumb, i want to live my passion and dreams"also people: "yes i will kill 20 wolves for 5 gold"
>>560988131flopdevs get fanart. nodevs only get delusions
>>560989302I don't mind the work part of working. I just hate the fake and gay part where you're forced to pleasure the girlboss HR middle manager.
>>560988832animating like flash is cool, haters just want to hate
>>560989531i think the problem is that there isn't enough work. in a simpler world you'd have online job descriptions and you could just pick them up and solve them like quests in an mmorpg.but in real life you have to build up a company with references and get reputation and even have an office to talk to clients etc. etc. etc.if i'd offer you to code something specific for me for 100 dollars you'd probably do it. but once the whole "job" part kicks in it all goes to shit.
>>560989424they shifted the goalposts again. you have to receive fan art to be a flopdev?
>>560989531If you can't handle soft skills you're the first one to be replaced by a bot that can do the work part of working.
>>560989013sounds good. I watched 'Paradise' and also am making a game completely unrelated to it
>>560989767>I think he shifted the goal posts>so now i shift them here and expect an answer!
>>560957198You are smelling yourself. Kill yourself. >>560955736
>>560989769I'm doing the replacing.
well, if being a nodev and being a flopdev are roughly equal, i accept being a nodev, less work. less time i have to spend lurking around here. seems like a no-brainer.
>>560990420that's just called giving up.
>>560990420you cannot lose if your are just a gamedev. the whole point then becomes to keep playing and not to "win" so you can quit (retire).if you are a gamedev every failure is basically an improvement, because you learned something. if you really think that long-term, then it doesn't matter what you achieve right now, it matters what you achieve in a lifetime. so the more mistakes you make right now, the more your progress.seeing the cuffbust dev being proud about only doing it for money made me realize how shallow that type of attitude is.
>>560990464i am giving up. giving up on YOU. i'm making games for ME from now on.
>>560990464
biting into a nice meaty tomago at the end of a day of dev work. one of the perks of being a yesdev.
>>560990681There are perma/beg/s aka schizos of stagnation aka kenyan helicopter devs. Not everyone is improving, and not everyone has the capability to make it, so long as they keep trying.
Make the game you want to make not the game you think they want you to make.
Make the game that (((they))) want you to make, or you're not going to make it.
>>560991686I'm making a tranny futa sex simulator. It's what they want.
>>560990420just leave the thread, great idea. do it.
fygoon predicted this
>>560944712mystery games win every tiem
>>560990420flopdevs get skills. the difference between nodev and flop dev is like the difference between food analogy. one sustains you, the other leads to malnutrition(if you were once driven and creative but decide to do nothing).
Mccad owns a gun. Mccad should shoot streamers and use their channels to play our games.
>>560991932ACKTUALLY, mystery games lose 68% of the time.
>>560991457those ones do not release finished games, flopdevs release.
>>560992464Cris has dozens of released games.
>>560992308i have accepted the path of the flopdev, i am just not going to make games here anymore which is effectively the same as being a nodev from the perspective of /agdg/. i can't stand being on 4chan anymore is what i'm really trying to say. i'm mad at myself for getting involved with this thread when i just want to be free of this shit.
>>560991457The irony of YOU posting the kenyan helicopter is very funny, lmao. Zero self awareness.
I accept being a Dev who makes multiple millions of dollars on his first released game and then even more multiple millions on the games released after that first game.I accept being in the Game Dev Hall of Fame.I am GMI.
>>560992909that's the path of the noflopdev (just never flop, bro, it's that easy). i am already a yesflopdev. i have lost.
>>560993053You ungerstand that Air Pear was technically a flop right? Chin up.
>>560992404but it has to actually look mysterious / spoopy
>>560992796>all of my thread enemies are the same person
I have 5 usd to waste on tools and assets.What should i buy chuds?
>>560993696Probably food, sounds like you're broke
>>560993641YOU are the only one who posts that, retard. You post it every other day with zero self reflection.
every day you procrastinate, AI advances
>>560993895You don't know me. Just bee urself.
Has any anon from this general ever actually made it?
I can't beat my own game but that's okay.My goal is being a good developer not a good gamer.
I'm a dev with no hyphens. Hyphenation is for foreigners susceptible to delluded honor-based hustle culture. This culture is repugnant to me, because I value the soul, thought, and my leisure. If you feel the need to try and make it, your life outlook has likely been subverted by these same hustle-culture mongoloids. Repose, sigh, relax, you'll find more inspiration watching clouds pass than trying to beat yourself into being productive. Making games is fun.
Wake up at 9pm award.
>>560992404Sure but then you have Outer Wilds, game of the century so far
>>560993935Everyday I procrastinate gamers become more retarded too but it doesn't matter because I'm making my game for me. Gamerpigs don't deserve it.
>>560994884Im a gamerpig and I deserve your game.
Poke All Toads
>>560992639itch isn't release for cris. he uses it as a personal website with a donation link. free games of that nature can't flop either. so, he's not a flop dev.
>>560996972>14 reviewsit has 34 reviews now

>>560993935>Every day I procrastinate it becomes easier to make a gameThat's great news tho? I guess its bad for, you know, the retarded lol but like for people who actually want to make games its great!
>>560997038That's like saying Bokube isn't a flop just because he's never going to release it >>560941907. We all understand that it's a flop.
>>560999008a flop in the making does not a flop make
Why are people so retarded when it comes to AI? They're extremely reactionary and bull headed when they obviously know nothing about the technology. Someone tells me I'm responsible for destroying the environment when I post art I genned on my machine and I shit you not the same fucking guy is talking about using claude on his profile. Like my brother art thou for real right now?
>>561000276AI is used to put a SINGULAR guy on top the BilliBilli views. These tools should replace the algorithms to serve the COLLECTIVE.
>>561000276what if you're the retard? how would you know?
>>561000276It's the perfect confluence of technophobia, anti-capitalism, and environmentalism. Every slacktivist has their own pet reason to virtue signal how much they hate it.
>>560941907I'm going to broil you and eat you despite my shellfish allergy
>>561000276
>>561001486but they are also simultaneously technophiles (or they wouldn't be environmentalist)
>>561000276I don't get the point you're trying to make.
wobbly bones kinda working
hands are hard
>>561002308Something generated on a single graphics card isn't hurting the environment as much as the data centers that anthropic use that pull gigawatts of power and waste thousands of gallons of water. Using the environment argument when you are using a service that not only is also generative AI but objectively hurts the environment more is retarded. Saying AI art is theft while using LLMs is also retarded, if AI art is theft so is the output of the LLM you're using. You can say its slop, and it is, but if you use generative AI in any capacity you forfeit the right to act morally superior.
>>561003543the index finger has a nice curve to it
any of you guys feel like resting from practice a few days instead of practicing every day actually makes you improve?
>>561004060my biggest leaps in skill came from when I was on the edge of burnout, stepping into it a bit. but then when real burnout strikes, you don't improve for months... and maybe get worse... planned breaks are wise. even if you don't feel tired, gotta take breaks I think
>>561003543Ehhhh, depends.
>>561003693Both you and the Claude guy should be forced to donate your Nvidia so Twitter can replace its algorithm. A new algorithm would rotate through all of our games so we all get likes.
Mccad all I ask is that you KILL ecelebs with your gun. No one should be praying to a singular man.
>>561004483lunark is too hard
>>561003543Tell you what, what I do for hands is just extrude shit and adjust the corners
>>560971607>119oh wow, it's almost nothing
>>561004483>no handholdingGamers simultaneously refuse to play any game where their hands aren't being held, but at the same time have too much pride to a handle the feeling of their hand being held. Thus, it's a dev's job to hold the gamerpiggie's wittle hooves while making them feel like they're the ones in control.
>>561006307 1. remove these fallback Godot artifacts 2. harden the KB flow so this class of junk entry stops being created
I feel so bad for the lack of progress in my game.
>>561007449I have no idea if I'm making any real progress at all
Guys... I can't cook for shit
>>561009310so this is the power of godot...
>>561006207That tweet isn't an image, retard. I linked the video to show its implementation in game.
>>561009310Yeesh. What does it look like?
I don't want to ask for any aid in these threads because I'm just going to get covered in crabs, shitposters, and dumbasses who want me to replicate an Atari game for the 50 millionth time
what do people like to use for version control of large binary files? and don't say>Copy of file 2 final final 1.psdI know this has been a long standing problem in the game dev world but surely it's been solved by now right?
>>561010912Skill issue. Seek help.
>>561003693Claude is not generative AI...
>>561010993Most modern formats, especially from open consortiums, play well enough with FOSS version control like git, but worst case, you can just use git lfs. Proprietary formats are often intentionally shitty to force you to pay for their own devops service like Adobe cloud or Perforce with Unity.
>>561011017Do you want me to be correct about you?
>>561011264see>>561002186And shut the fuck up.
>>561011564The weak should fear the strong.
I'm seeing multiple poke threads on /v/ wtf
>>561010912>I don't want to ask for any aidYou wouldn't listen even if we gave you a 100% accurate and truthful answer. People just get mad and piss and shit themselves.
>>561012164Because you won't give an answer. You'll just say>Go make Pong>Give up your project>NGMI flop nodevOne of those at least. Instead of even remotely giving advice.Even if I proved I could accomplish something that was higher-level than basic programming and graphics.
How would you improve my code?
>>561012918I don't use visual coding so I can't help you
>>560990420>and being a flopdev are roughly equal
>>561012821Learn to listen
>>561013192I could program fucking Starcastle for all you care but no, Pong this, Pong that. It doesn't matter unless someone fulfills these arbitrary rules you set, and by the way without you giving any qualifications.
