You can leak Niche Gamers' fee at any time. They've sent the same price table to 50 people so they'll never know who did it.
INFINITE RAGE
>it works
Sources say that they're choosing the second spotlight game next week. Get in while you still can...https://forms.gle/NtngcnUmUMZTq9oZA
>Edmund kept making groundbreaking indies >Tommy decided to keep making shitty Meatboy slop
>>562540998>flesh cakesgross
>hate making menus>all my ideas are menu gamesHow do (you) guys handle making menus? Maybe I am being dumb about how I approach it
>>562541080AI is actually good for UI shit, that's the only thing I'd recommend it for.
>>562541173Oh is it? I assumed it be the one of the things it suck at to be honest. I'll give that a try then
I am genuinely confused.
>>562540998my cake on the left
So is S&Box's architecture good for MMORPG format or is it pretty much just Garry's Mod and Source type games with like 20 people dicking around in a small server?
>>562540349the only valid reason to put a game on steam is so that you can be included in future class action payouts.
>>562541654>is the source engine just for source like gamesno
>>562541058Edmund has a harem of gamedevs to make games for him.
>>562541830It's a legit question nerd. It supports multiplayer out of box so would it support MMORPGing? I assume if I turn off physics it'd be fine.
>>562540637>>562540889why are you mad at niche gamers betz cause no one gets what you yapping about?
>>562542030people who know how to make mmorpg's properly aren't in this thread asking questions if you want my honest reaction to your retardation.
>>562542203>people who know how to make mmorpgRight that's why no one was asking your bitch ass
>>562541058at least tommy doesn't wank it to farts and poop like edmund
you ever realize how beyond over it is for you? i wish i had never tried game dev. i wouldn't have to know how bad things are.
>>562542283>>people who know how to make mmorpg>Right that's why no one was asking your bitch ass
Mirror's Edge is a menus game.
>>562542120A world without Niche Gamer is a better one because it forces people to walk over to the Steam store for their recommendations. You don't have to be Betz to believe in this.
>>562542283you will be incapable of making an mmorpg. simple as.
>>562542480ong this millinigger is so mad all he can do is meme arrow
>>562542030A cursory glance at the docs tells me it has the same level of multiplayer support as Godot/Unity/Unreal, which is just a high-level API to create servers/lobbies, sync data, and RPC functions.https://sbox.game/dev/doc/systems/networking-multiplayer/
>>562542590>ong this millinigger is so mad all he can do is meme arrow
>>562540736where's the proggy?
>>562542120I don't know who that is but I do know who's behind the whole "go after all the actual shit indie expos" cause he's pissed they charge some out the ass fee for their games. I'm not gonna out them because that's a dick move on my part but they have a point.Indie expos aren't indie friendly. Looking at you OTK and whatever that other one with the women was.
>>562542542i dont even know what niche gamers did or does like you dont even give context, betz
it was always gonna make it
>>562542661Here's your context.>>562542628They have ignored 1,000s of anon emails. That alone should warrant their defamation.
local model on CPU is decent desu
>>562542873Post that women one you were talking about the other day with some "free spot" they conveniently are out of but still had paid spots.That's why /v/3 is a free show. That's a dick move.
>>562542612Yeah thanks that's what I was looking for. I wasn't sure if it was like Roblox where we only had limited control over the backend stuff or we had full control. I've made web multiplayer games in the past but I'm looking at switching to a real engine.
>>562542873i have never ever heard of these people and i dont care>tranimemascotknow i know why
>>562543012
>>562542836Proud of him to be honest
>>562543181That's the one. Thanks. If you're starting out especially on your first game you don't have money to shill to this shit and you shouldn't need to. I like being the toe dip expo. You wanna waste your money after that go ahead. That expo (if he still has the screenshot) did as well as our shows... Pre 2023. And you're paying for it.
>>562542873>>562543181oh my days what a bunch of cunts, its crazy how many parasites there are in gamedev, they take 0 risk and yet get a big cut from our incomewe need anti-gabencunt and journocunts movement from gamedevs, boycott them like the palestine stuff
>>562541654>>562542030Source seems to handle hundred player matches in TF2 pretty well so I'd assume Source 2 could too.With it being such a new engine, very few people would know from experience so your best bet would be to ask a programmer who knows how it's running or give it a crack yourself.
is networking not a solved problem alreadyall you need is good servers, mmorpgs and gacha launches prove this
>>562543525>is networking not a solved problem already>all you need is good servers, mmorpgs and gacha launches prove this
>>562543398Vindictus is an MMO on Source 1.
>>562543576glad you agree
>>562543398>Source seems to handle hundred player matches in TF2 pretty well so I'd assume Source 2 could tooTrue. I didn't know how much freedom we had with it. I'm sure if I just take physics out it'll easily handle thousands of players per server.>>562543645I'll look that up too, thanks.
nigga you can problably vibecode a better engine than source 1 from scratch in 2-3 months of claude max ($700)
>>562543692nobody is gonna play your game so why bother with networking at all
>>562543801Your network is your net worth
>>562543645>VindictusOh okay so it had physics in it? I'll keep it then. It was my understanding that if you want any large number of players on a server you tear physics out and don't even have player collision.https://www.ign.com/articles/2010/10/27/nexon-officially-launches-vindictus-the-first-true-physics-based-action-online-game
>>562543798well yeah because it's been trained on source code from source engine.
>jews are chimping out and nukes might fly in the middle east just the year where im releasing my gameif they ruin my gamedev career im becoming a politician and will make them pay
>>562543798>nigga you can problably vibecode a better engine than source 1 from scratch in 2-3 months of claude max ($700)
>>562544215Nukes fly into data centers and that gets rid of YouTube channels. ECELEB DEATH
>>562543798Right, that's why we're talking about Source2 or more specifically S&box here.
i'm going to start holding myself to the standards of a chimpanzee instead of a human because frankly i am a retard
how come LLM brogrammers always talking about claude when claude is blatantly worse at programming than chatgpt and gemini?
>>562544173lol
>>562544461>when claude is blatantly worse at programming than chatgpt and gemini?KEK
>>562544215my, man, your game has to be the 90th percentile to break even. you were never going to make it.
I feel retarded, I can't make a simple player camera rotate properly, I did it 2 years ago and it works in that project, somehow even copying the code doesn't help.
>>562544648just like don't tell us what engine or anything you're using anontrust me I've got experience in IT
auradev's new demo has flopped
>>562544757I don't want to bother anon, I want to fix it myself and complain about it.
>>562544829You know what, we're just going to rape you.
>>562544807Who cares when he make 100k a month on Patreon?
TLDR I've been trying to get it so that the window for "Attack lengths" IE the duration where you freeze and have to commit to an attack match the animation lengths exactly 1-1. For some reason THIS is what I gotI've restarted twice now.
>>562544962Is the "Is attacking" for comboing or not
>>562544572i've tested hard/confusing programming problems on them and claude is always the one producing dick tripping failcases and then getting worse and worse the more you prompt it to fix it's mistakes.
>>562545171On what? Sonnet? lmao
mini progress, new machineyou rotate the turret and use the lever to apply something to the glassdoesnt do anything yet though
>>562542873>>562540637Bros my game costs as much as their membership...
>>562544962Probably the length of the animation that you're exporting from Blender.
>>562544962Can't you just check when animation ends?
>>562545384>Membership Take notes Betz this is how you tank your expos.
>>562545384>discord trannies for staffthat thing wont last a year
>be me (retard)>"okay I have a door with some wooden planks covering it, I need an animation for a hand with hammer reaching out, taking the nails out, then hand reaching out and pulling the planks off">2 weeks later "phew it's all done">watch some youtube videos of other 1st person low poly horror game>"oh he also has a hammer and has to take planks off a door, let's see how he does it">player walks up to door>uses hammer>screen goes dark >comes back again>planks are gone >10k reviews on Steam
>>562545484Ends at Frame 80 actually, multiplied in the Animator.
>>562545690This makes a lot of sense actually. I'm so stupid. Why would I actually make animations?
>>562544173I'm not sure WHY that guy is trying to mislead you by saying nonsense, but Vindictus was a co-op game with "hubs" where you could see and chat with hundreds of players, but gameplay was ALWAYS at best with 4 players at the same and you had no physics interactions between players, you could just damage enemies together.
>>562545690>>be me (retard)you don't need this when you also have a cat picture
>>562545690don't waste time on animations/polish unless it's absolutely required. you can always polish it later
>>562545363>outsideis that new?nice proggy thoughbeit
>>562544461Anthropic is going hardcore with the gorilla FOMO marketing. Its so blatant.
>>562545694Honestly, maybe I should find a way to detect the animation multiplier and divide the AttackTimer by it
What's the biggest Unity game? Unreal can do Fortnite. Source can do TF2.
>>562545690Making a videogame is so easy you can just make a low effort game disguise it as le low poly ps1 kino and get a bajillion reviews on steam and a bajillion youtubers playing it

>>562542621I'm refactoring code to add roguelike mechanics right now, so there's not much visual progress.I did redo the player projectile logic to get rid of some visual bugs and make bullets react with water tho.

>>562548547You can email your game to the Mewgnics channels but you'll quickly see that they cannot dodge a single attack that comes from your enemies.
The key is RogueLITE btw. Subtgle distinction

according to ai, 70-90% of games don't break even on expenses. this may sound bleak, but assuming success is just a lottery like some on here claim there is a 90% chance that one out of ten games you make will break even on its advertising costs. you just haven't made enough games yet.
>>562551256AI doesn't know the numbers.
>>562551256>Things are great bro, you have a 1/10 chance to make 0 dollars!
>>562551256What if you make all the assets yourself?
>>562551632>his time is worthless
>>562551701Yes, now wage for 40 years so you can enjoy the little time you have left as an old fart.
>>562551632it probably looks a lot better mathematically if you paid $0 for development. i don't know if ai can produce such a figure.
>>562551256>according to ai, 70-90% of games don't break even on expenses. this may sound bleak, but assuming success is just a lottery like some on here claim there is a 90% chance that one out of ten games you make will break even on its advertising costs. you just haven't made enough games yet.

I have the craziest game feature idea.What if in a massively multiplayer game with perma-death, when you die your character is literally judged by Jesus. You meet Jesus and he decides whether you go to heaven or hell. That would be funny.

How do you get the code to read the speed multiplier in Unity's Animator.
>>562552829imagine naming your mc joey and expecting people to take it seriously kek
>>562551256There is a lot of shit that inflates that number.All the buggy unappealing messesAll the games that release out of the blue, with no marketingAll the lmao asset flipsEtcIf you aim for a release that's worth a 7.5-8 (old, real scale), and your players know you exists, you will sell.As for making a real profit, it all depends on how much you spend and how much time you needed to dev
>>562553375>you will sell.So never?
>>562545384stop shilling your tranny garbage here under the guise of complaining about it
>>562553478Eh, gaming dev it's an highly competitive sector. You can't expect to make shit and sell it for gold.You can't bet to be goat sim
>>562553154Manual says speedMultiplier is part of AnimatorStateInfo which you can get from animator.

Let me explain my problem>AttackTimer does seem to read the Animation length (I think)>Unfortunately, it only reads the "True" length of the animation, before I apply Speed to it>Thus, AttackTimer gets set to 10 times higher than it shouldI don't know how the fuck I'm supposed to get the code to read Speed.
>>562556573you gotta cheat man, find a way to achieve what you want in dishonest ways without the player finding out what you did.

Reminder this is the future of graphics. AI code + AI art. Idea guys fucking won so hard!
>>562542431It's beyond over for everyone that's not me. Harken my child for you are not entirely lost yet
>>562556573what are you trying to do? you want the attacktimer to be the same length as the animation?
>>562556713I was doing that before, but that was imprecise and shitty.IS there a way to get this bitch to read?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxlMFsw1OfYThis is what it feels like
>>562557231Yes, yes I do.
>>562556573Did you try GetComponent<Animator>().GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0) already?
>>562551256You guys are making some hot garbage if you truly believe this is a factor
>>562557401Are you not doing this?AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);if (stateInfo.IsName("Attack1")){ AttackTimer = stateInfo.length;}
progress, now the cargo can be snapped into place by proximity. additionally, when it is being held in the air, it stays upright, this helps when stacking as the center of gravity remains above the object, making it more difficult to balance
>>562557658>>562557561Yep.Which is why I have a better idea.I am going to manually divide AttackTimer each time by a pre-set number called SpeedMultiplier.If I can't get it to read the number I'll get it to do it my way
>>562556573Don't create timers that wait a number of frames or seconds for animations to finish.Instead, just put an animation event on the final frame of the animation and wait for that event to fire.

serious question: why didnt you invest in crypto a few years ago so you wouldnt have to "make it" now?everyone told you it would blow up, just like AI is creating millionaires every day but at some point it will be too late jump in

>>562558810i dont care about money i just want to make games about little girls
>>562558810>AI is creating millionaires every dayIts not. They tell you this so you buy subs. Its a form of FOMO marketing. The only people making millions from AI are nepos with VC connections.
>>562558770Theoretically speaking if I wanted to make a large open world game for the web, without doing a standalone client like electron, how would I handle the problem of users having to re-download the game every time they wanted to play it? Cache only lasts so long. Downloading the html wouldn't allow for https thus websockets wouldn't work for multiplayer. Am I fucked or is there some mechanism I don't know of for saving files permanently with the user's consent, but checks for updates? Something like a web git system.
>>562559260Here's what I'm doing. Build the whole fucking thing first before worrying about online while always being able to support it
>>562559260Runescape could do it on dial-up over 2 decades ago. You just download only the relevant parts of the world on demand.
>>562559180There are indians right now making AI content on youtube that kids watch getting million of views and becoming the richest in their village
>>562559361Good idea except I already got my prototype done and want to know before I build tons of assets that people won't want to download every single play. I'm using SpaceTimeDB and Three.js.
>>562559597If it's really the next thing to work on then get at it
>>562559532>There are indians right now making AI content on youtube that kids watch getting million of views and becoming the richest in their village
>>562559479I thought Runescape loaded the entire game, it was just loading and unloading into RAM during Loading screens, not loading new assets on the fly.
>>562559260store the assets into localStorage
>>562559640That doesn't answer the question at all>>562559773Unironically doable because of how well three compresses assets into json kek. But the quality looks like ass.
>>562558743I don't know how I'm going to do any of this shit. It feels like every effort I make to try and make this thing actually work just makes it more buggy.

>>562558810If you think it's wise to listen to cryptobros then you still have time to put everything you own in bitcoin and 10x it in 2 years.
>>562563537I would be very impressed if you could make mechanics like that fun.Losing feels way worse than winning feels good so when you tie randomness to basic actions, it frustrates most players because the anger they feel from a wrong guess builds up faster than the good they feel from a correct guess.This is why games usually either tie randomness to exclusively positive effects like crits, or they tie it to an optional move like a powerful attack that can justify it's bad odds.To mitigate this, you could make the odds mostly in the player's favour, but I'm assuming doing this would diminish the point of the game.

okay chuds, heres some real stats and numbers>wishlistsi had 22k wishlists on launchcurrently at 28k>salespassed 2k like a few hours ago, very cool>issuesnot a alot, some balancing here and there, and the money system had a bug in it which caused people to earn way less money. On launch i just checked twitch and the discord for issues and made notes and patched shit asap (did an allnighter)>players1.5 lifetime unique guys, and 117 playing currentlyInteresting thing ive noticed is that alot of people dont even play it much for the like thrill or something, they just cozy around going to places and chill-playing, if you get what i meanim gonna push the game a bit more into that direction, like a cozy horror sim (first of its kind maybe?)so far very satisfied with launch, thanks for reading dickhead

>>562565238Ok. Now drop some keys.
>>562564269Some isn't necessarily polish. Like I have consumable cards, but no place for them in the world so they just float on the left, hidden in the darkness. So I need to do something for that whole system to be usuable for someone that isn't me.And when you lose a round, you lose HP in the form of fingers. Except currently nothing happens except the number going down.

anti-flopdev trvke: GaaS service won. Gamercattle are so brainrotted by live service that they demand every game receive weekly, daily, or hourly content updates forever. Forever Games are the standard now. Hobbyist indies are held to this standard and are expected to make multiplayer Forever Games with content roadmaps, dailies, post-launch support, endgame content, battle passes, Seasonal Drops, Raids, localization in every language, and Android support. DO NOT release your game and say it's finished. Gamergoycattle will review bomb your game because you abandoned it and your legacy will be those "[SAD NEWS] Anon's Game Flopped!" steam chart threads on /v/. You're supposed to drag development out for as long as possible like WEG devs and milk gamergoys for all they're worth through Early Access or Patreonbux or whatever. Also do not make a single player game, single player games are dead/abandoned by default.

what about a friendslop game taking place 2000 years ago in ancient israel and your job is to stop jesus from being crucified (he's an npc) but he is like REALLY insistent on doing things that will get him crucifiedyou follow him around the land as 4 of his disciples and try to protect him, as long as he isnt watching, you can kill those who wish to harm him, you can go very outside the rules. the idea is the game is absurd
>>562567783jesus's npc is probably literally AI powered so you can try to convince him through your mic not to do things and he can speak to you intelligently, but the ai is strongly influenced to keep "being jesus"

>>562568603To me it doesn't read as an elbow drop but more like a guy tripping backwards. I didn't even realise it was an active move because it looks like a passive pose.I think using a reference for a good elbow drop would help a lot.
>>562569040It's a good idea.
>>562567783Funny concept. Dunno how it'd translate to gameplay tho.
>>562568728I dont find the specifc game idea to appealing desu, no offence. However I find it interesting how everyone is a talking about using ai to automate old existing task like coding, making art or music, etc. rather than seeing how ai can be integrated directly into the game. Your idea has some novelty on that end. It will be interesting to see what new stuff we game mechanics we can create with AI

Just admit it Marni-brosYou're in it for the OPTICS of being a game dev.You just want to tell people you're a big game developer at parties.The actual games and their players are secondary to you.I don't judge, I've been in that mindset too.I just wish you'd admit it.

I've noticed a pattern in the mind that when you believe that an answer exist, yet you can't find it, then you'll spend all your time trying to find that answer. Which is a problem when the answer actually doesn't exist, but the "answer" involves trial and error and actually doing things.That's how I'd explain the behavior of spending all day on the internet trying to find a solution for your problems instead of just trying things.You can observe something similar when people play games without the wiki. In that scenario they have absolute clarity that the answers aren't exposed to them and that they have to figure it out by themselves through experimentation (hypothesis and trying to prove it).Maybe part of it is the idea that other humans are very intelligent, so for sure someone must know how to e.g. have success, so I just need to find that someone and download his information into my brain. But this pattern fails, when it doesn't work out that way. It's almost like some glitch that keeps your brain blocked forever. Endlessly searching for an answer that doesn't exist.Maybe another factor is the combinatorial explosion of systems. What might work for somebody doesn't work for someone else, because in a math equation factors matter. And if you e.g. have different parents, different friends, a different job, even different language, everything is different.I guess you could sum it up as "you need to figure out what works for you" and the answer for that isn't out there for you to download. It's not a piece of information you can find online. It's something you have to figure out through trial and error. Which is especially hard to accept for solution oriented people or people under immense time pressure to find a solution asap. Trial and error can basically take decades if you are unlucky, maybe even never work out. It might also include accepting completely new directions that you didn't plan, because they are a better opportunity inside your circumstances.

gamedesign is when a player would rather press a button that randomly gives a reward, instead of the button that always gives a reward.
>>562578625liar
>>562578759>>562578625*if the random button has a slight chance of giving a better reward randomly.so if there'd be a button that always gives 1 and one that has a 50% chance of giving 2, they'd press the random button.i think it's the deep desire to cheat and take shortcuts.

in science a theory is proven if you can replicate the results reliably over and over again.in gamedev a theory is proven if your youtube video has 2000 likes.

i had a friend who never found a girlfriend. always single. almost desperate. then he moved to a new town and in just 1 month he found a topmodel looking girl and had the best time of his life.it's actually insane how you can completely misinterpret your circumstances as personal failings.success in gamedev is probably not different. self-blame is often a low-iq attempt to identify the problem. it'd explain why a lot of successful devs aren't even that intelligent or good at what they are doing, they just felt more motivated and inspired by their circumstances.e.g. would stardew valley exist if he wouldn't have had his girlfriend? maybe he wouldn't have had the motivation to make the game, cause he would have been sad about being lonely or so.
>>562580934what does god have to do with christianity? christians worship a book written by a human.
>>562581221>. would stardew valley exist if he wouldn't have had his girlfriend?no because she paid for the development

chasing money and being a pessimist is some really fucked combo. good luck getting someone to do something for money, when he believes nothing ever pays off lol.but i wouldn't say it's just being money oriented. it can also in general be goal-orientation. if someone wants to make his dream game but is a pessimist, he'll also believe that it's not possible to make it.i dunno the way out of this. i guess the brain is just glitchy as fuck.
You can't solve this shit
>>562581768>its similar to a lot of popular gamesIt's not. There's not a single indie success in your genre. Your genre has a target audience of 7-12 year old boys who do not use Steam and no longer really have consoles. They're all on their phones. Back in the day, studios had to spend millions of dollars of paid advertisement to get those kids to play and to become "popular". You do not have millions of dollars to spend.

i've been playing games since the 90s and i've ended up at a point where i like games like House Party and Schedule 1. i'm so tired of medieval fantasy and war games. zomboid is also cool because it also has a "modern" world.i think modern small towns are the most underrated game environment. i'd argue at best even just 1 house where you do something inside. Phasmophobia also did that.another thing i still kinda like is The Forest. mixing wilderness survival with signs of civilization (containers, bunkers, modern tools you can find etc.)actually bunkers and commie blocks are something i don't see at all.
>>562591049>what if every game we made was for AGPs with 90s anime aesthetic
>>562591545they don't like mirrors
>>562591545This is why I ain't doing anime-anything

God AI is so fucking retarded
i really dont know what my game is supposed to be

Just a public announcement: if you use AI for ANYTHING in your game, you are not a developer and your game deserves the flopping it will do.
>>562592778>>562592791posts like these two posters are part of what makes me sad about this generalI haven't posted here in a few years however I come peek sometimes and I like to see the weird (varying interesting or uninteresting stuff) questions and I always enjoy the general otherwiseI usually read every post and lurk for a while and it's always sad to see all of the individuals forcing themselves to do something out of greed or trying to do stuff way too hard out of also, almost exclusively greed>not sure what the game ismake whatever you want, or experiment with things you find interestingyou should realise there's a career in programming and software outside of games if they're not your passionand if programming (or something relating to programming) isn't your passion either then what are you even doing>complaining about AI, or some other thingthis really feels like someone who is going to a toxic polluted environment wearing a gasmask without a filter and complaining about the air qualityI don't understand the bandwagon mentality of being hard for or hard against things like thatI do understand it, but not why people choose to exist that way, it seems exhaustingwhat I'm saying is, either use it and learn how to filter useful information versus un-useful hallucinations or don't use itI use AI as a took to find the right direction for my own non-ai research rather than whatever you're using it foranyway, I don't expect anything different

I'm so fucking frustated.I'm trying to get the "AttackTimer" to follow the exact animation lengths, complete with the Speed, but no. It never does that
>>562593065What did you find interesting about it?
business idea: >upload paid game on itch promising a free steam key of the same game uploaded to steam>hustlers will then think they can potentially profit from selling both the steam key and itch account for the price of one, literally finding buyers for you though also getting their own cut, dropshipping scheme basicly>also take 100% cut from itch

>>562597385which one?
>>562597325Made a good game, I think.
>>562542873Everyone's forgetting (As usual) but these guys came around during gamergate and branded themselves as "the coolest game journos not like those Kotaku fags, am I right?" and then it turns out they were copying Famitsu articles and trying too hard to pander to /v/."le tranime" I swear Shartyzoomers would even call fucking MisterMetokur a tranny if they ever come it.
i literally can make bank but keep delaying the devving bc i thought it's just too easy
>>562597662>Made a good game, I think.
>>562572820Not anymore, apparently which is why their characters look so fucking ugly and devoid of appeal now.>inb4 "I want the wringly ugly hag to step on me"
>>562597662ok. did good mean show them something new every 5 minutes? or is it more pure gameplay goodness?
>>562597943all i hear about re9 is about how hot or not the leads are. no idea what gameplay changes they made
>>562598239Bit of either, probably.
making it is when multiple people pour in thousand of hours into your game.
>>5625983173D porn guys just have no taste so they even make porn of the exact same character models /v/ says are ugly.People gave NetherRealm Studios flack for their ugly female characters and made memes of Aloy looking like Nikocado but it didn't stop Blender/SmutBase games from putting them next to characters that were meant to be sex dolls like 2B or Stellar Blade whatsevername.Between uncanny "realistic" characters and autistic Roblox porn, I think that's when the "porn ruins your brain" shit could be applied, when you jack it to characters that are the antithesis to sexy.And we already had people on Tumblr purposely fetishizing uglyness out of some form of contrarianism.

I am depressed over having wasted multiple days doing some bullshit
>>562562305please tell me your game has a ballif there's a ball, I buyit's that simple for meplease
Hey Marmorealdev. You really signed up to put yourself on that corpo slop indie game battle pass service? Disgusting desperation.
>>562578013his next game without the bald freak is gonna flop so bad. This guy doesn't know what sells by himself.
>>562599260Yeah it's about balls. It's 4v4 with every character starting with a white ball to hit other characters with and 1 gold ball which is used for scoring goals.

>>562602601some bullshit that pays you for time played in your game. so better make some infinite idle slophttps://www.indiepass.com/developers

>>562601156It's multiversal under communism
>>562601156>>562605502Capitalism is pipeline to Dictatorship.Communism is a speedrun towards Dictatorship.Neither are gamedev.
>>562605705>Neither are gamedevWrong. They are foundational to the vidya output of ones nation (or lack thereof)
>>562606839That's politics/finances, gamedev would be about how tetris was designed in the first place.
>>562606894>financesliterally all this general talks about all day
>>562594714>er thing>this really feels like someone who is going to a toxic polluted environment wearing a gasmask without a filter and complaining about the air quality>I don't understand the bandwagonIs it greedy to want to make a career out of indie gamedev? sometimes i think about what i want to create, and what'll make me money.
>>562606839maybe in an ideal world the money the government gets from selling a game like tetris would lead to a better societybut we all know that money was used to kidnap people into conscription and give them shitty weapons and go die in service of an army that's more likely to kill its own soldiers than enemy soldierswhich could also be said for the US but the difference is, at least not all of that money is taken to fund people to go die in a desert and the game's creator can buy half a house or somethingnowadays all your money goes to steam anyway so your game makes you $0 while gaben gets $500,000. wait, isn't this just the same as the Soviet Union? oh no...
>>562606958It do be like that.
151 days left. I owe my game 1100 minutes of work. Yesterday I found out that I didn't fix one of the bugs I thought I fixed, so today I'll be dealing with that nightmare, and maybe fix a few other bugs if I get lucky.I'll be having sweets (once!) in a couple of days and it's like the light at the end of a tunnel. I haven't eaten any sweets in more than 2 weeks and I crave them so much I can't stand it. I can't decide between croissants, donuts, donut holes, so I'll probably have all 3.
>>562608161if you tough it out 1 more week you'll probably not crave them anymore
>>562608553I tried that before and I went months without sweets and it was a drag. I was spending literally hours every day fantasizing about sweets.Besides, what else is there to look forward to?
I hate music so fucking much. I get heartburn just thinking about it......
>>562608780are you treating the symptoms of your day to day stress with sweets?
>>562590337he's making a bank for his buck, what are you talking about?
>>562609406in this doggy dog world, it's not enough to entertain gamers, you must impress the devs with your level design skill and normalmaps.
>>562609035Not for the past 2 weeks. I've had very low stress happy periods in my life and I was craving sweets then too. I honestly don't understand how everybody doesn't want to eat sweets after every meal. PIzza for the meal and then like crepes for dessert. Every day, forever.
>>562608161um bananas are basically candy sweetie
>>562609961I mean sure but it's not sustainable and it's not that superior to just eating normal food that keeps you healthy. Normally sugar cravings stop after 4 weeks unless it's used as a coping mechanism, but your answer gave a clue to what it may be. Sugar is empty carbs and foods like pizza are also filled with empty carbs, your stomach doesn't really know the difference except some carbs digest fast (sugar/refined starch) and others slow (fibers/complex starch). You can get the same effect by just switching from garbage to whole-grain and veggies.>>562610303Fructose is better than table sugar/corn syrup because sucrose triggers an insulin response. High consumption still leads to diabetes, abdominal fat and liver disease but fructose is already about 2x as sweet as sucrose so you'd need to eat an insane amount of fruit to kill yourself the way you can with candy and fried food.
>>562590337>>562609634Success breeds jealousy.
Sucrose breeds diabetes.
I can't decide if I should go with the ol' reliable for the classes in my card game or try to make something more unique and this is halting my progress
>>562611474how do you want the game received? ol'reliable is good for grokking the game and remembering what things do. if you have a class called reticulator, who is gonna pick that or remember its function? that said, if you really have something cool and memorable that's outside the norm, no harm right?
>>562611758I guess I could use the classic classics and try to give the character themselves a more memorable spin
>>562609406.........in india
>>562610996you forgot your animslop
>>562611474I was in a similar place, where I sorta wanted to lean into classic tropes but kept going "Yeah but Etrian Odyssey." In the end I just went with the shit I thought was cool and shit that a lot of people kept harping on in the genre. So I'm putting in a bard and a dancer and no one can stop me.
>>562612163nice
Is there still a market for undertale-likes? I got an idea for a mostly story and dialogue focused game with gimmicky simple combat.
Tuesday will be AGDG Release and Demo Day, all wrapped in one, in /vg/. There will be nothing like it!!! Release the Fuckin' Game you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in DISCORD - JUST WATCH!Praise be to Cris
>>562612702there's always a market for getting lucky
>>562613007GODDAMNIT I WAS ABOUT TO DO THIS JOKE
>>562609961If someone gave me a deal where I'd never have to eat anything ever again, and just live on water with my body producing all the necessary proteins and vitamins it needs, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Eating has been nothing but a huge hassle and waste of time in my life, time I could have spent on more important things that actually bring me joy like game development. It's crazy how different people can be while still working in the same profession, huh?
>>562612702for earthbound-likes? sure
>this month Ima be finna do be publishing my steam pageIt's all fun and games when it's xitter or reddit posts getting likes, but this is the real test, this is the moment of truth that will determine your game's worth.
>>562614650bro me too. i can't make up my mind about my dev name also...
>>562612163it's going to end up making 50-100k dollarydoos which is absolutely the definition of "making it" for a game of this caliber

I was thinking maybe if the player does a rune combination that doesn't have a spell attached to it then it does a random stupid effect, not sure if it would create funny moments or just be irritating though

>>562615341your indian ethnicity is showing, 20k in the pocket of the dev or even 50k is not making it, making it means you can do whatever you want because you made it, he has to immediately start working on another game hoping to make it
>>562616479>you either earn a million or it doesn't countBreathtakingly diseased view.
>>562616479nigger, you are the retarded jeet if you think shitting in the street should entitle you to welfare for life. guns and nuns is earning what it's worth and i'm happy for the dev. not everyone get a chance to do that
do you guys listen to Alan Watts sometimes?
>>562616479fucking retard. we are indie devs. 90% make 0.
>>562616479>20k in the pocket of the dev or even 50k is not making itit literally isyou're making enough money to make more gamesare you only here to get rich? if so, you're doing the wrong thingdo anything but game development if your goal is to get rich20k in pocket for an indie game is good, your financial expectations are delusional
>>562617041Yes. But I do think I have a different belief system than him. I don't believe that conscious viewpoints are part of one big Brahman. I believe conscious viewpoints are individually separate from each other and eternal.

Why 99% of Aggy games are overscoped projects? please embrace simplicity, make something simple
>>562617652nobody wants to play simple games
>>562617652my uncle lester said to always try your best
>>562617394can i speed the sim up?
>>562617721but you're not finishing that overscoped big projectso..
>>562617652I know it's the wrong thing to do, but the thing is: I have no interest to make anything but the game I want to make. No I don't want to make pong, no I don't want to make super mario. There is no point to engage in this hobby if it isn't to make the game I want to make.
>>562617874I respect that, if you treat it as a hobby, as a play then all the power to you
>>562617652My dream game is very important to me.I have plans to slice up the Game's tech and package pieces of it to make big revenue on the way to the Dream Game, but I am building this dream game.

which agdg games were dream games? probably Peripeteia and underspace come to mind but what else?
>>562617874pong is supposed to be an exercise, something you do between tutorials and the actual game you want to make. how young are you that you think spending a week on pong is too long? is a week a long time in your 12 year long life?
>>562618218marmoreal
>>562618218transwiz moment
>>562617874if the game you want to work on is so heavily overscoped you're quite literally never going to make it by yourself. don't take my word for it you should waste months to years of your life on your game and then realize how little you've done and how much more you need to do.
>>562617652Making a good simple game is harder than making a good big game.The literature is filled with AAA games with simple mechanics but tons of contents so you know unconsciously.Meanwhile simple games mostly just use stuff that only works at that particular game/sub-genre. Like how would you translate the idea behind deck-building to a shooter (without having to use cards like that one game)

It's Sunday bros, you know what that means? Godot maintainers are in church and there will be no work done.
>>562542030The legit question you need to be asking yourself is why you are still after the mmorpg dream. Make a small scale coop game instead. Shitbox would be very well suited for a small scale coop game.
>>562618515my actual problem with incremental games is that they contain numbers/quantities that don't make sense with anything physical. if I'm making an euro truck simulatorlike (which is the perfect game and the only kind of game that needs to be made) it doesn't make sense for a truck to carry a trillion tonnes quadrillions of kilometers, so an incremental game wouldn't make sense. incremental games are inherently either abstract or absurd and I don't like either type.
So yeah, imagine building a Sim City 4 -like.
>>562619269or a SimCity1-like from 1989
eurotruck sim incremental where you just keep getting more and more trailers and more torque to pull them
Good news: I have some good ideas to try.Bad news: I have been unable to concentrate at all in gamedev in the last days. I can't find any stimulants so I will just get drunk and hope drunk me will focus on gamedev until I blackout.

>>562625076That's an alright attitude. I have a friend who did a talk once and the most important thing he's said there, and im paraphrasing, is that you can plan all day long, but it's only when you actually make things that you can start identifying how to make them good.
>>562625076You have that creeping doubt because there's still too much of the design space that you don't understand, and it's through further research and study that you can clear up those doubts.

online education has become absolute trash. just trying to find someone teach animating. e.g. how to make an animation of 2 people shaking their hands. how to make an animation work between 2 people. or how about a hug?or just a walk animation?everything is some clickbait shit by absolute noobs. often tutorials are made by people who aren't even artists, yet they learned the software. they make ugly ass 3d models and then sell it as a tutorial.absolute brain-drain.i guess in the future you can actually open a university again and enroll people, because online education is absolute idiocracy at this point. no way you can learn AAA tier animations/3d models etc. from some random ass scattered youtube tutorials made by absolute untalented people.

i seem to absorb a mindset everytime i use the internet. it's something like:>ai makes all my skills useless>not worth trying anymore>i can't do it anyways, even if i try>it's too hard>market oversaturated>wont make money anyways>not worth learning new skills, cause its all useless>hard work doesn't pay off>you gotta have a perfect idea to make moneywell just a vague description of the mindset. but when you look at social media, it's exactly the mindset that is extremely popular nowadays.i wonder if internet actually conditions you to have imposter syndrome and to become extremely nihilistic.e.g. what if it actually works to just make a game, without a perfect idea, just making something work, yet you don't do it because you have that mindset that believes everything is hard and useless and pointless and impossible etc.?i just really wonder, did i form that belief from experience, or did i just absorb that by using youtube/4chan/reddit?
>>562624745It's so over for me and my game
>>562626461what actual experience do you have?
>>562626461
>>562626863none basically. all i know is that things are hard to do and hard to learn. that is my main problem. i personally believe that if i'd have the skills and the productivity to get shit done, the output could make money. but my problem is exactly that: being more efficient at producing quality and quantity.but it still matters, because am i motivated to improve my skills, when i believe that it wont pay off? no.and since i don't know if it'll pay off, i'm probably way more prone to what other people say.
>>562626461Why do you want to make games? If its to make money, gamedev was probably never a smart way to accomplish that. If its to make a game you will enjoy yourself then the only ones that matter on that list are:>i can't do it anyways, even if i try>it's too hardWhich, wont know unless you try, right? What do you have to lose, what would you spend the time on instead? If its doomscrolling social media, trying to make a game would still be a better use of time even if you do fail in the end
>>562627483>If its to make money, gamedev was probably never a smart way to accomplish thatsee, this is the exact type of conditioning i mean. people like you, over and over, empathize how it wont make you money.
impostor syndrome is just a phase of dunning-kruger. it means you have reached the "valley of despair".
photorealism seems like the best option, because it's the most compatible with asset packs.i guess another argument would be that if you aren't good at art, photorealism can just be copied from reality and you don't need to have artistic intuition to make art styles work.
>>562628017>he doesn't know
>>562626461As the great John Patrick Mason said:>Your "best">Losers always whine about their "best">Winners go home and fuck the prom queenIf you don't set out each day believing anything is possible you have been buck broken by your own failures and a sociopathic system that doesn't care. People can do great things but if you've never cultivated discipline, seen the fruits of your labor, felt the encouragement of your peers or the support of your tribe then your brain will simply dampen the neurochemical signals that rewards the effort.You're playing an incremental game in a foreign language with an entirely different number system and color coding you don't understand. You can criticize the game for not telling you what it is or take the plunge and get swept into the unknown with no guarantees. It's all a waste of time anyway, the numbers are all an illusion, your only real purpose is to spawn more clones from 3-4 generations ago and then die.
>>562627739I didnt say it wont make money, I said if money if your only goal gamedev likely isnt your best bet. Like al a rts, you shouldn't be doing it unless you enjoy doing it desu. Or better yet if you have no choice cause some inner forces drives you to create against your will
>>562627876I'd like to leave the valley, sir. I've been despairing long enough.
>>562628017Photorealism only looks decent if it is very high fidelity. If you go half way and make it look like Arma 2 then it looks jank without any of the charm which you could've had if you went for stylized but lower fidelity.
i'm going to focus my energy on improving my craftsmanship, especially code quality and architecture even if the end user never sees my code. i don't want fragile code that i can't easily add more gameplay mechanics to. being scared to make my games more ambitious due to crap code is holding me back. thanks for reading my blog.
I am really glad I've caught the threads back before they got filled with /biz/ people, who treat this hobby, as if it was a crypto pump and dump. This way I got into the discord, and not really stuck with the neuroatypicals.
a quick bite sized game in Three.js that someone can just consume in a parking lot after work.
>>562629135dont fall for this trapthere are so many content that people could enjoy in that position, why would they play your small gameif you want to make small arcade games you must focus on children games
Don't tear down your fellow dev. Lift them up and write a long essay for the indies who make it.Together we are mighty.
Friendly reminder that a "bite-sized" game for Steam should still be at least 3-15 hours long.
>>562629346I'm making my dream game, I'm also just thinking of some side projects to bring in some income as I build my dream game.
flashy animations, cool particle effects and good OST is all that gamers crave.
>>562629619Wrong. Randomized solution spaces and optimization weights to NP-hard problems is all that gamers want.
>>562629540>one of the tracks was inspired by finger tappingCris tier take
>>562629863Can you explain?I though what players wanted was multiple skinner boxes in juxtaposition.
>>562619581IDK if that sounds stable
>>562629541clarification: the steamie is incapable of differentiating 15 hours of hand-crafted proper content (think like actual unique levels with story, or different quests in an rpg) and a retarded endless procedural time-waster a-la vampire survivors. now whichever approach is better is up to (You), but both work equally well on steamies.
>>562630229I challenge you to differentiate the two objectively, if I spend 15h having fun vs spending 15h having fun. If one takes more money and effort than they other does it have more value?

>>562629540I cannot be the only one that cannot even fucking follow this guy's posts anymore, there's something completely incomprehensible about them
>>562630669low IQ retard, please kill yourself.this is about what it takes for the dev to make, which one would be easier, not whatever subhuman ape "enjoyment" you get out of it.
progressswitched from 3D to 2D
>>562630835>this is about what it takes for the dev to makewhy?
>>562630047Good games with replayability all reduce down to some class of NP-hard problem. Randomize the solution space by limiting the options available at any time (e.g. refreshable roguelike shop) and randomize the optimization parameters (e.g. random enemy encounters each with different mechanics). You can still create a "jingling keys" half of the game to increase marketability, but fundamentally, it's the problems solving portion that gets people really playing the game and organically spreading the game. This is how you end up with a game like Wireworks.>>562630229Steamies don't care about your handcrafted gay furry fanfic.
>>562630891for reference. This was 3D.Its looking more cute with 2D.
>>562631162next try paper craft. /po/ can help you. finally something for that board to do.

>>562631640>RAH I HATE GAMERSI'm trying to help you realize what building products mean
>>562631748>Spartacus TV Show Insult.
>>562631114so game design is just theory of computation and behavioral science. i knew it had to be rooted in math somehow.
>>562631768a subhuman (you) would hardly know anything about what makes a game sell well
>>562630734It's the fake ass attitude, it's saying "We're not making art. We're making a PRODUCT." and then turning around and pretending to be an indie dev savior.It's crying on stream that making videogames is like surgery on your daughter, then saying videogames aren't hard.It's railing against AI use in videogames then... Lol.Guy has nothing to say. Doesn't seem the brightest.
I'm making art. Unironically.
>>562632054fuck you
>>562631884it starts with a value proposition in a customer segment
>>562631813Yup.https://www.raphkoster.com/2025/11/03/game-design-is-simple-actually/
>>562632054Yeah, and I'm the kayfabe heel pushing a narrative. We can just say things.
>>562632178>another taxonomy masturbation article
>>562631512its just a pain for it to look cute sadly. 2D still feels more moe.Gotta learn how to do shadows tomorrow.
games are commercial entertainment products. if you disagree, you can come up to me at the gym and try your luck.
>>562632009none of this matters because you're not selling your own identity but your game, you have to get your game into the eceleb hands and favour with the algorithms through any means necessary, including posting fake trite essays like the one in the OP pic.gamercunts don't even look at the dev/publisher name on steam, let alone any soical mediaseems like that post helped them get eyes on their game, and that's all that matters. this is just the soulless reality that valve built with steam in 2026 and devs are too cucked to change it.
>>562632347Fuck you, I'll show you who's the boss of this gym.
>>562632409>gamercunts
>>562632347I agree but I am still gonna whoop your ass big boy
we. need. better. tools. not. more. games (right now).also engines need out-of-the-box mesh libraries, character creators like sims 4/black desert with clothing etc., house builders, voxel tools, csg tools, plant generation tools etc. etc.there's no reason every project should have to code that from scratch.
friendslop game that takes place in a gym and players have to prevent NPCs from dying while using the machines.
>>562632157A subhuman gamer's opinion is the last thing that any dev should seriously consider. Smart devs look at what gamers DO and BUY, not at what they SAY.
>>562632612Call it New Year's Resolution
>>562632560Bing "Roblox"
>>562632492No game developer maintains a high opinion of gamercunts. Either they despise gamercunts for ruining gaming or they haven't seriously thought about them.
frendslop game where you own a cafe and random friendsloppers arrive via matchmaking and you have to sell them your wares via voice.
>>562632746>Either they despise gamercunts for ruining gaming or they haven't seriously thought about them.much in the same way how drug dealers hate drug addicts for being pathetic cheap addicts or just don't think about them at all
>>562630690Daggers it's a mediocre game that rolled a 100/20 on luck.
>>562632616It's very interesting you say that, so a gamer buys and plays a 15h game and has fun. Another one does the same, one game costs $9.99 and $1200 to make and the other game costs $14.99 and $60,000 to make. There's also Hollow Knight Silksong that costs $19.99 and had a budget of around $9m and offers 100h of fun. So which segment are you going to place yourself in?
>>562632910It's a good game, tho. 20% luck, 50% appeal, 30% design.
>buys slop>"WTF, THIS IS SLOP!!! HOW DARE THEY!!!"seriously, what's wrong with gamers?
>>562633696Consumers in general have a large share of dumbasses
>>562633696>Worst game I have ever played>Bought it ironically>If I play for more than 30 minutes I feel sick>Gameplay is garbage>10.3 hours on record
>>562633158>7,2k reviews>20% LuckCool story bro
>>562630690>500 seconds>Average playtime: 7.8h
dang these threads are miserable these daysjust endless doomerism and business/money talkno fun energy at all
>>562633928get a load of this one
>>562632746there's a website for people like you
>>562634479you can thank gabencunt for that, unironically.
>>562634479Making money IS fun.
>>562634653kill yourself unironically
>>562634772cope and seethe
>>562630692>now it's openAI's turn to nerf the limits
>>562634479Its everywhere. Zoomers and doomer culture ruined the internet. Bodybuilding communities used to be super positive and now so many are filled with looksmaxxers who think everything is a competition.
>>562633696>someone buys a shit product, leaves a negative review to warn others about shit product>this is bad because...uuh... because...???If anything I'll thank them for their service since I'm too stingy to take risks like that.
>>562634830you're the one coping and seething all day about how it's the algorithms fault your shit game will flop just move on already
>>562634993>"no u" and projection
You've got about 18 months to make it.
>>562634881>Bodybuilding communities used to be super positive and now so many are filled with looksmaxxers who think everything is a competition.this is a really good pointdamn now I miss the Zyzz era
>>562632178>>562634685lol, makes me kek when i see zukjeet larping and daydreaming as a devgamedev is not that glamorous, go daydream about being an eceleb instead i'll tell you what
>>562634881It's a direct result of heavy moderation of all spaces and the toxic positivity that's used to drive engagement because people want to be told they're right all the time. Doomerism and Looksmaxxing is in pursuit of finding one authentic human interaction in their life because an honest asshole is at the very least honest.
Yeah this background shit is beating my ass on so many levels. I'm ultra ngmi.
I just imagined her making the sneethe face while I eskimo kiss her. She grabs my heart and just squeezes it. Even if she never arrived here to me on this Earth, I would stay alone. No other woman compares.
>>562635108Nah, I only have a couple months.
>>562634479Only (you) can create a nice enviroment of fun and useful discussion. Ignore shitposters, post game and only ever reply to posts that are actually in the spirit of the thread>>562635304>because an honest asshole is at the very least honest.This isn't even true. The "honest asshole" you're talking about is most of the time either a crab trying to pull everyone around to his level or someone completely detached from reality
>>562635108I dont care one way or another desu. I have multiple game ideas I NEED to make so they finally get out of my head. If AI makes it easier to make them cool. If it doesn't that's cool too
i've had to restart epic launcher 3 times now downloading 5 asset packs. holy shit man who programs shitty software like that.
>>562635767AI
>>562634362Skill issue
>>562635296Aren't we usually the ones having to tell you the same thing?
>>562636113talking about yourself in plural 3rd person is a pathology
>>562634479All the actual devs left, so you're left with schizos.
>>562636453>>562636453New bread. Talking about our favorite expo. ;)
>>562636494yeah this really isnt a dev thread at all anymore
>>562626165It says trough not through you retard
>>562636529buy an ad
>>562632746I'm not going to start saying cunt just because you keep trying to force it anon.
>>562618218Peripeteia didn't begin as a dream game, believe it or not. I think it draws some from some prior imsim prototypes Shodanon had worked on, but the game itself started out as a quick game jam project with some other 8/agdg/ autists which turned into something larger.
