Why do Godot games keep winning?
>tiktokpermabanned me, no reason given>instagram0 likes, I don't know if I can see views but I presume 0>youtube13 views>twitterfucking nothing>bskylots of "indie game" accounts automatically retweeting anything with the relevant hashtag, otherwise nothinghow do I do marketing? I feel like I will have better odds of success when I cold email all the streamers I have listed
>>563195049I can only dream of a success like that.But he deserves it and more, he's definitely one of the most passionate indie devs I've seen like ever. Imagine doing military service 5 years, then 5 years of game design school, then 5 years of modeling and programing and only then starting to work on your dream military game (15 years later) with the intent to be the only game you'll make in your entire life. I get bored of my projects 2 years in.

Let's get prog so that Christmas time is cozy and without regrets.Imagine sipping hot chocolate while watching Star Trek or Dr. Who on Christmas time while knowing you made a ton of progress in that year.https://youtu.be/j1zL-GRFGxc
>>563195260my plan is YouTube Devlogs, Tumblr Posts, and Twitter.
>>563195940also more types of YouTube videos. I have a YouTube series planned which is reminiscent of 'G4 TV's Portal'.
>>563195562It's hard to follow marketing advice when the platforms send you to the gulag for no reason>>563195940tumblr is actually a good idea, I might steal this
>>563196187 This is not a park case. park is for pausing resumable work. I’m recording it as durable KB state
>>563196187Step one to marketing your game is to make a marketable game. Marketing is a impossible uphill battle when all you have is an unmarketable game.

How do we feel about Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone? He seems pretty cool imo(in my opinion)
>>563199535he's /agdg/'s mascot. we love him here
>>563193809With the new codex limits change i went from 2 accounts to 4 and it's still not enough, it was supposed to be a 2x period but it looks like they fucked us and lied about it, how many pro accounts do you guys use? Im close to going for the $100 a month tier but idk it seems rather pricey sometimes i dont use it for weeks
>>563199535I'm jealous of that office

>>563199616I thought /agdg/'s mascot is the green dragon you guys post here all the time? What's his name again?
This is Lucas Pope, 1 year after making some random 3 month game he never expected to get that big.

An Non when will you finally make a shitty low effort AI-asset having INCREMENTAL GAME that inevitably makes 50K per month thanks to the plain as shit zombie brains the _hordes_ of normies out there possess, granting you permanent funding for any dream project you're currently thinking about?Are you stupid? Name one valid excuse. Hard mode - one that makes sense and doesn't sound like a demented man came up with it.
>>5632010713 incremental games release every day1.7% make ityou are 2 years late to the party retarded tranny
>>563189425>>563189694Well, I think FTL, Into the Breach, etc are good case studies to look at. They have some interviews where they talk about their approach to making games and design choices that made them successful.One of the things that stuck out to me as impressive was their ability to take an idea, and cut away everything extra so they were only focused on the core mechanics. Another good choice they make is always having everything you need on the screen. They had some lessons learned too about being upfront about what the "RNG" outcomes in a game would be.I'd also like to make something like this. That studio and Zachtronics seem like very well oiled machines.
>>563201071what if a shitty low effort AI-asset having INCREMENTAL GAME is my dream project?
>>563201349release 10 a day. only need one hitter-signed she/her

It's as if they didn't exist.That's why those graphs with ever increasing bars of released games erry year don't mean a thing to people with above double digit IQ.

>>563201440There’s already some prior cleanup structure here, including archive/ and file-organization plans. I’m reading those next so I don’t fight an earlier direction that was never finished.
>>563202725I will now go make a successful incremental game about hitting brown people with trains and every penny I make off of it will go straight to caressing your left thigh gently and lovingly by a person of your choosing
been thinking I should just erase my hubris and just use rpg maker 2003.
>>563201874rocky idle couldve been a 10 reviews game
Incrementals are way more work to make than y'all clueless nodevs are giving them credit for.
20$ wtf
>>563203246coulda wouldayou underestimate how hilariously suspectible normies are to this shitso in other words, you're just like the majority of the /agdg/ anime/2d-platformer clueless people here - don't know what makes a game "make it", will never understand it
Hope you're working on your trailers this weekend. https://thev3expo.com/
A game about being an university exchange student going out drinking with your mates and strange supernatural stuff occur
>>563203687It had some 50k wishlists so they probably expected a big conversion.
>>563203741my middle name is "understanding"
hours wasted because of stupid shit with my tools but at least I got it working in the end which feels pretty goodit was the sort of thing where I noticed one bug and trying to solve it I ran into a dozen new bugs some from trying to solve it and others that I had missed along the waynow the functionality is much better and hopefully won't fail me for a bit so I can get some actual progress done tomorrow
>>563199871I hope you watched wanderbots' video. Should give you a lot of perspective on what needs to be improved for better playability.
>>563204019how the fuck did THAT have 50k wishlists?
>>563204780>how the fuck did THAT have 50k wishlists?
>>563204780Lots of twitter shilling. Also released simultaneously with Nintendo Switch, Playstation and Xbox versions.
Redid the Gazer's attack so it fires a laser beam now.I don't know if that's a good attack for this type of enemy, it gets really annoying when there's more than one. Maybe I should give it to a future enemy.Anyways, now I'm going to work on adding a new weapon.
>>563202748 Keep us updated if you go after it. I'm working on a more traditional CRPG/Roguelike but have been thinking about making something in that lean style.

"it's a loterry" is the dumb idiots attempt at downplaying the reality to a level where the problem isn't his fault.It's literally that blue chick from that stupid movie game for little girly faggots that shot herself.There needs to be a name for this so these lame one-dimensional yoyos can be easily called out and shamed.

I'm not chasing trends. I'm aiming to create one
>>563207624people are saying that. just the other day someone unironically posted some random indian andrew tate-esque influencer talking about how you just need to work harder to be successful
how do i get good at character design?
>>563207584Many of the positive reviews have short durations for how long the game was played.Like:>0.3 hrs on record>positiveFor a game that costs more than $10.It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.But maybe the specific anime protagonist, and the "fan-serving" poses, in combination with the gameplay (including rarely seen and interesting warped-space mechanics) and the rest, had genuine appeal. Unlike Fiend Heart and Dungeon Watchers. And Monstergirl Hunters.Interesting.Some reviews do complain about the gameplay getting boring quickly.
So I did this now

>>563218875https://store.steampowered.com/app/3936340/HELL_WAIT/a roguelike riichi mahjong "gamble vs a guy in a room" type game
>>563201801>the trailer is just the guy explaining the game calmly and trying to convince you to buy it, with lots of "i think" and "i hope you will"...not like this bros
>>563218982Got an uphill battle ahead. Nobody in English speaking countries know how to play mahjong, not even the general idea, so it's intimidating. So this doesn't have strong appeal to us, despite the fantastic capsule. I would try bilibili and Chinese influencers, idk how that process goes though.
>>563218982>Outstanding wishlists: 60>Daily wishlist additions: 0Oof. How many Chinese/Japanese content creators did you reach out to? I suspect you won't get too much engagement from the English-speaking internet. Some critique of the game itself: the props look way too "asset-flip PBR" for this genre. I'd slap some lower-res shader over everything.Do you ever plan on releasing a demo?
>>563219915I also have no idea how to capture that segment of the chinese market. My hope at the moment is to reach out to all the taiwanese streamers on twitch and youtube (I have about 100 emails for those so far). Plus a few hundred japanese streamers that play mahjong.Interestingly there is a split in the audiences - Japanese players are very familiar with mahjong, but most have never touched Balatro. The west obviously all know Balatro, but few know mahjong. Then the Chinese market has the best crossover since they love mahjong and are crazy for any roguelike deckbuilder.Like there's demonic mahjong which has 3k+ reviews, then feng shui meowjong has ~300 reviews but the game is extremely unpolished.>>563220140I'm at 115 now, getting 1-6 per day. I haven't reached out to any content creators yet but I will do for the playtest (soon), demo (in the june nextfest), and then launch.I want a new trailer first before I put together a presskit and see if I can get some traction with any gaming press.

indies managed to turn gaming into mobile-tier slop. thank you. instead of terraria, don't starve, kenshi, factorio, oxygen not included, 7daystodie, project zomboid and subnautica, now all gaming is "hehe incremental slop with gambling", "hehe another rng card game", "hehe friendslop lololol".they basically turned gaming into a joke. it's like taking a warrior and putting him into a pink dress with lipstick and clown nose.absolutely disgusting. and even gamers with soul start to justify it by saying "it makes money". what a disgusting world we live in right now.
>>563235957If you hate it so much, why don't you just remove yourself from this world already? Pretty please?
>>563235485ThisThe "tactics/mecha curse" applies to 95% of all games posted here
>>563235957
>>563236601Tactics games are just a particularly popular genre for first-time gamedevs to attempt, and there's really not much room to scope them down.

>>563235957Indies reacted to the market. Gamers are retarded animals that refuse to buy real games and valve refuses to promote anything so only what goes viral on tiktok (read: appeals to retards) does well. Not the devs fault.
>>563235291setting the bar too high is the reason of 99% of all modern mental health problems.people feel too ugly, too unfit, too dumb, too uncreative, too untalented, too asocial, too unsexy, too annoying, too boring etc. etc.why? cause media showed us how high the bar can go up.actually watched a documentary about an older guy who makes paintings recently and he just draws some classical architecture. he's so chill, the vibe is so pure and relaxing. and his paintings sell. his only bar is himself. and on top of that he doesn't even think competitive, he just wants to get into the flow zone. which is impossible if you set the bar too high. nobody would play mobas if you were matched against the best players in the world every match. you'd just get frustrated (and they'd get bored).but that being said, even making a normal living with gamedev is a very high bar if you start from scratch.i think the only cure to lower that bar is turning off the internet and not consuming other peoples content. not even games.i've noticed the same when making music. when my mind was blank i just had fun making sounds and trying out things. as soon as i looked for inspiration to make better music, my brain began to just overload and get desperate cause i didn't know how to exactly get their sound. and all sorts of other problems.maybe the secret to success is finding a quiet place and embracing the silence and only comparing yourself to yourself from yesterday.there is something related with the whole question "can you have success with gamedev?". which too many people try to answer by asking the internet. they'll never figure out if it works, cause the internet already told them it wont. (most people are fucking depressed and negative, because they are also frustrated by how high they've set the bar for themselves).

>>563235957As a guy that is contributing to the problem, I completely agree. The problem is that most gamers taste has legitimately gotten worse over time. Most gamers exclusively play live service slop. The people who actually buy indie games play them for 2-4 hours and move onto the next set of shiny keys dangled in front of their face.I've love to be the exception and make a true work of art but i'm not capable of making a truly amazing game yet. And so in order to survive I have to focus on trend slop.

>>563239142>[existing game, but worse]Wouldn't matter.
i'd rather have a project that makes me 100k lifetime earnings but it's so cool that i want to finish it, than having a project that could make 10 million but it demotivates me all day long so i never finish it and don't make any money.the real problem isn't "how to optimize for money", the real problem is optimizing to keep yourself motivated for literally years to stick to one single project. which is insanely hard.
>>563238916>dravidianHad to look this up. Only a local of Sri Lanka would know this word
You don't need to motivate yourself for years. Good indie games made by good indie devs are prototyped in days to weeks and reach a decently playable beta/early access stage within a few months at most.

>>563241259I'm too busy studying animation frames to learn about indian castes
i don't have lack of motivation or discipline. i have lack of vision. i can't even formulate what i want to make.i thought about quitting gamedev and just doing something different. but i also see no reason to dev, or to write, or to make software or websites, or to make music. everything exists. i don't see anything that "needs to be made".i tried rebuilding and improving games i like in the past, but i'm totally over that nowadays. the biggest reason is that i've noticed that i'm really just rebuilding them, i have nothing to add, nothing to improve. it only feels good for some months to be productive and yesdev just to reach the point where you realize how stupid and pointless your project is.a good example is so many people making a minecraft clone, yet nobody plays those. cause they add literally nothing. hytale might succeed cause they have the budget to scale (better art, better tools, more content etc.), but scaling is something for companies, not for solodevs.i have literally no answer anymore. i'm completely out of ideas. there's only one thing i have in mind and that is to have bigger ideas. something like landing on the moon. just something that's impossible to do for me, but pushes me to try hard. cause making a minecraft clone doesn't push me at all, it just feels pointless.

maybe i have sunk cost fallacy. if i quit gamedev i basically have years of experience working with unity, and it all amounts to nothing.if i quit programming than it's even bigger. html/css/js/php/c#/c++ all going into a trashcan. all learned for nothing. dead knowledge existing in my brain.

how do you get inspired by yourself? vision boards? concept art?i mean that it's easy to get inspired by another game cause you see the world, feel the atmosphere, engage in the gameplay.but if you depend on other peoples work you'll always just be a hack. you need some way to get the same "inspiration" from your own ideas.maybe the inspiration is the wrong word, i mean some sort of way to envision what it's gonna look/feel/play like. which is impossible to just simulate in your head.
>>563245940but you can imagine the feeling, right? the emotion that you want to feel, and also show to others? The feeling.

>>563250496Fancy Mansion is my pick.Not like that modern look which you showed.
>>563250496Neither. Just my house

minecraft was inspired my minetestbalatro was inspired by luck be a landlordschedule 1 was inspired by drug dealer simulatorterraria was inspired by minecraftfactorio was inspired by a mincraft mod (forgot the name)rimworld was inspired by x-comstardew valley was inspired by harvest moon(the devs mentioned it, didn't make it up)what does that tell us? you don't have ideas "from scratch". you have them by being inspired by something else. if you aren't inspired, consume more stuff.
>>563229418bet a lot of people wishlisted it thinking it would be 5$ instead of 20I know you eternally seethe at steam because gaben wouldn't deal with your shit but it's simply a fact of life for gamedevs that you gotta price your game appropriately or you'll lose out on a lot of sales
>>563243258You and me both, anon.I used to have tons of game ideas, now I only work on my autistic ASCII roguelike that no one will ever playI wish I had something I was proud to show you guys, but I can't even imagine a game I would be proud to have made
>>563252218I'm inspired by Onimusha, you?
>>563206406the best type of game to make in terms of not flopping is a good one and this is not a joke, make the game that you have the most confidence in making good with your specific skill set
>>563252585it happened the same time i played less games. maybe we need fresh inspiration again.i have a very strong tendency to favor the same old games all the time.on top of that a lot of new games are inspired by my favorite games, therefore they dont create any fresh inspiration. (e.g. travelers rest is basically just stardew valley, hytale is just minecraft etc.)but what i mean is, without fresh inspiration it wont work. i can sit on my ass for another decade believing some random vision will appear while staring at a blank paper, but it wont. i need to find new sources of inspiration.
bros, rpg architect, literally and I say literally covers 99% of what I want.It's rpg maker like, but doesn't suck dick like rpg maker.It easily supports making an arpg and can do 2D, 3D, 2.5D.I'm 99% certain this is my most graceful surprise of the year.

>>563254856This is where the Indie Renaissance is born.
damn dude. i started gamedev in jan. 2025 and have nothing to show for it. nothing but a few dozen concept arts and notepad files. i suppose i have severe ADHD. i have to force myself to work everyday, or the game will never get done. but looking at my future full of work feels like staring down the barrel of a gun. i won't get to relax anymore, life will be work all the time for the next few years. and even if i succeed, i will be 30 years old with no social life and no chance of getting a girl. of course, i'm young enough to dick around in thailand for 1 year and its fine. but if you have to eventually lock in anyway and work super hard, isn't it pointless? if there's no escaping a life full of work, shouldn't we simply learn to embrace working 24/7 like japanese people? i don't get it. when I'm actually working, i can't say i'm happy, but i'm not unhappy either. time just passes in a blur. that seems like a waste of life to me, but if it's what i have to do to make something amazing, maybe that's just something i have to accept./blog

>>563254964You're developing a game and working for yourself. See it as play instead of work.
>>563205487>rollslop
>>563254964i do gamedev for over 10 years now and all i learned was out of pure interest, not because i wanted to make money. i dunno why, but i just had this urge to learn scripting in unity. also some c++ stuff trying to make my own engine. i rarely learned anything because i wanted to make money with it.that being said i dont make any money with gamedev. but it proves that you need a better motivation than money to make any progress.if i wasn't so incapable of art i'd have a game already.

>>563220653>>563221397Indeed it looks too slow for an incremental game. Like maybe the pacing is fine but visually it doesn't excite the audience and we're talking about a genre that's often worse dopamine slop than roguelites. >>563221075It could be that the game didn't satisfy incremental sloppers nor farming simmers. It might have done better if the dev went harder on one or the other.>>563222007>it also sucks that if you google "seedrun" they think you mean speedrun kekThat's a good lesson on naming your game. Don't name it something ungooglable.
I'd only ever play an incremental if it actually gave me something to occupy myself
>>563220895How do you even get a trojan? What the fuck did you do? >>563235957>>563239120People are more miserable than ever. Gaming reflects that. Instead of dreaming and immersing themselves in fantasy, be it through games or whatever, they're indulging in hedonism. Whatever gives people a dopamine high is popular. That's why roguelites got big and that's why incrementals are doing the same.People are also poorer which reflects pricing of games and the popularity of really cheap games that people don't feel bad about buying even if they don't end up playing them that much.
somehow i always measure stuff by efficiency and not by quality. basically if something takes too long or i don't have efficient ways to do it or it may not be used, i discard it. maybe i need to start realizing that making good art is wasteful process and not like programming where you try to milk the most performance per frame.

Even if you don't animate them it's a lot and they will be compared to old pokemon designs in quality. You need to be really good at designing them if you want your monster catcher game to have appeal. >>563245825You are unlikely to be able to make a good incremental game if you don't understand the genre.
I will never make money from gamedev
the benefit of identifying an artist is that poverty is a feature and not something to be ashamed about, it's part of the vibe. nobody will judge you for it.
if you can't make art and are ok with a bit higher rev share, roblox studio is the game engine for you. thousands of community 3D assets. literally just type "bed" or "gun" into the search bar and drag and drop it into the scene.

so like, operating unde the assumption that I already have a decent idea of what my game is going to be and how it's going to work, what is the first thing you do when you start up unity/ue/godot/whatever for the first time in order to get started on the game? spawn a cube and write code to make it move? what's the first building block? in pico 8 you don't have much in terms of tools so there's pretty much nothing to do than draw a sprite, spawn it in the frame and then program it to do the things you want, but I suppose you could also start with tilesets or whatever

>>563265881being called retarded for failing at gamedev is like being called retarded for failing at rocket science. just because someone fails at the hardest task possible doesn't mean they are retarded.if you want to see retarded people look at fifa players.
>>563265881I think its cute. Anyone with an ounce of skill eventually loses this creativity, so its endearing seein it in others.

>>563264184you can customize font rendering kind of to make them "fit" the game, like changing the stroke thickness and roundness or pixelating them
>>563266373I'm not trying to make you ask me for help, I'm still surprised you weren't curious enough to ask thoughhere's what I'm saying:focusing on new attacks and animation is not what I would personally focus onI recommend focusing on first understanding which kind of gameplay you wantI already saw the stuff about the suggested games and computer hardware and whatever, I don't feel it's necessary to play one of them, but identifying on your own what kind of gameplay you want is importantfor example, "hack and slash" where there are lots of enemies and the player is strong, or, less enemies where each individual enemy is more complex and requires player skill and attentionthe thing is, your game is a mix of both of those styles which comes across to me as not very funthe enemy acts like a hack and slash enemy, as in, no regard for it's own life and meant to attack in a group of 30 enemies to hide how uninteresting the enemy is (I'm not insulting, I'm giving real critique)
>>563221570lol stop crying and face the reality
>>563266693I'm trying to create enemies that are very aggressive and attack in groups, thus forcing the player to navigate tight windows.Sort of like Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 because those are literally the only real hack and slashes (Souls shit can go eat a fat dick, it's as much a hack and slash as a Zelda game is) I can remotely think of where the enemies are actually aggressive and trying to kill you, thus justifying your expansive moveset.As you can see, I'm barely a 10th of the way there, but I'll figure out something.I have a backstep and circle routine for the enemy that allows it to choose "Back away" or "Circle the player I'm chasing" as well as attack/approach. The higher the aggression value, the more it prioritizes an aggressive pattern.Also, you described hack and slash games like those as "For 7-12 year olds." So maybe don't act surprised when I'm not accepting critique from someone who has voiced open disdain for the genre I'm going for.

>>563267541Maybe i’m mistaking you for someone else.My end goal is pretty much a combat system where you having an expansive moveset is less a method to style on enemies and more a way to make absolutely certain you’re not dead and they are as dead as possible.If you aren’t juggling the shit out of enemies, they’re going to get right back to trying to kill you on sight with minimal courtesy.That’s what I want to doSee this?

Foo depends on Bar during initialisation. In Foo, I want to use the OnEnable event to do something likebarInstance.bazInstance.OnSomethingHappening += DoStuffInFooClass();but I can't because "bazInstance" will null because bar hasn't finished initialising during the OnEnable event. It's not possible to get the Baz instance directly from Foo. Usually what I do is add a callback in Bar when it's done initialising but it's a pain in the butt, and quite spaghetti.Do you guys have ideas on what to do during these situations?

>>563265881It's likely this is just a kid. I used to post retarded shit all over the internet as a kid
Is making a 3D game with models that don't use textures and only use vertex colors for the coloring viable?
>>563268078when I was a kid I typed up quest ideas in Tamriel Rebuilt forum.I also sent an email to Bethesda on a DLC idea.
>>563268078Same.
>>563268170unironically id like to see what a group of kids would think up for quest ideas in a game like skyrim.
>>563268145yes
>>563268145not exactly the same but closehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3108510/FlyKnight/
>>563268145yes. you can also make cool gradients and stuff. the only "problem" i see is that this type of style could have an insanely nice workflow, yet vertex color isn't the main focus of 3D apps, therefore it's probably janky to select and apply colors.
>>563254964I started in 2015. Quit my job to dev full time in 2022. Still no game. Every day is suffering. But the pain of not having a game is greater than the pain of working on my game, so I keep going.>even if i succeed, i will be 30 years old with no social life and no chance of getting a girl.Yeah that's me, except I haven't even succeeded. (And there's no guarantee I will.)You should definitely try to connect with people more while you're still young. Even in game dev context, going to conventions, meetups, participating in game jams where people team up, etc. I really wish I was doing this with someone, but it just wasn't in the cards for me, fate deemed I have to suffer alone at first.
>>563268318>10,000 reviewsjesus christ
>>563268368I know Blender. It's good at that. I like using it's vertex color tools more than its texture painting tools.
>>563267747yes I see that, and there's nothing wrong with thathowever, what I'm saying is I would say the "early prototyping focus" is important to decide where on the "spectrum" of those styles the enemy should be in, for example the enemy at 40 minutes in my video, and the enemy in your video are bosses, however I would say designing the regular enemies first is a good idea, especially since you said the enemies are going to attack as groupsright now the enemy reminds me of the bird enemy from "outward"I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, only that the focus seems like you're overcomplicating things for yourself, I'm genuinely trying to helpessentially, there's nothing wrong with the end goal, but putting together a solid gameplay loop with one attack and one group of enemies, and one boss and then adding attacks to the player/enemies as they go, similar to how the player might find more advanced enemies and unlock attacks as they playthere's nothing wrong with the way you're doing things, however it's a lot easier to get a feel for a prototype this way, obviously other devs might have varying ideals, but I would say it's unlikely anyone would say what I'm suggesting is not an easier route to a satisfying outcome
>>563268597I’m more focused on getting the combat to work the way it should. Problem is, there is 100% something I’m missing on a functional level but I can’t tell what it is.
wanting attention seems like a good thing if you want it for effort, but not if you want it for meme'ing and joking and ironic things.i don't see anything wrong with trying to do something as good as you can and sharing it and trying to get people to see it.that's how it should work, you try to make something nice, you get attention for it.
>>563266259>is it to prevent hurting my feelings or is it your lack of respect for the genre?It's more like how I generally feel about gamedev and genres. If you don't like or don't *get* a genre how likely are you to be able to make a good game in that genre. I suppose there is a possibility that such a person could discover something new about a genre if he tried to make it something he finds fun but it could also end up being something people who like the genre do not like.>I feel as if i can succeed making an incremental while having no respect for it.I guess there is a difference between having no respect for it and understanding why people like it.
the reason your not making any progress is because jews put fluoride in the water
>>563268836the different layers of the unity animation system is not simple for beginnersa few posters have already suggested using programming with a state machine, but I feel like it's fine to keep using the animator since you already have so much progress there and it's a good way to learnI really feel like you should stop adding more attacks thoughI doubt you want me to make an analogy for another genre or something so I'm only going to say it's too early to add more attacks, it's easily possible to make the combat feel good with only one attack/combo first
>>563267327anyone running win11 is a total fool
>>563268968That's why you only drink cola and beer.
>>563268968>>563269028I exclusively drink onions milk with instant coffee mixed in, how does this make you feel?
>>563269009It’s not about making it feel good, that’s for later.It’s about making it WORK first.Plus, I already use a state machine for combat, movement is where I have animator spaghetti
>>563269146I have over a decade of experience, and I disagreemaking the game feel good first is the prioritymaking something work is not mutually exclusive to that priority, it's also important for things to work for them to feel goodand once again, adding more attacks achieves neither of those goals
>>563260521>How do you even get a trojan? What the fuck did you do?Wrong download link for a program I was looking for, structure of directory was about the same, I've run exe, windows didn't recognize it as threat and the bitch added few trojans, some registry bullshittery and a few tasks in task scheduler triggering trojan download in case I delete current ones.
>>563267771It looks functional but it is nothing special. At first glance it reminds me of some 2d top-down open world survival crafter on Steam, Tinkerlands, The Survivalists, Necesse, Core Keeper, Don't Starve even. That's just to name a few. There are a lot of them.What is your game going to do that those games don't do? 3d could be a selling point but can you make good 3d assets?
my entire gameplay system is built around the player character using a spear for a weapon, but how do I make that make sense inside the game. like "why can't I pick this dead enemy's sword and use that?" especially in situations where it would look like a sword or something would be more convenient. "le legendary weapon" is the only explanation I can come up with but that's kind of lame. and I don't like the theme of conjured weapons (they disappear when enemies die)and if I give all enemies rusted or makeshift weapons that it would be reasonable not to want to pick up, then I'd run into the problem of "how were these things able to take over and be a threat in thr first place?"
>>563269529the enemies are a zombie hordethe spear is the only weapon that can truly kill a zombie
I'm a warrior I got called hardcore before
>>563268145There are a lot of games like that. Often what devs end up doing is making a simple color palette texture and unwrapping faces to colors instead of actually using vertex colors though.

>>563269028glass bottles are the only safe beverage container
>>563269241I agree kinda. I just feel like making it function the way it should SHOULD make it feel better by extension
>>563269529Are you making a game where the player would expect to be able to pick up weapons from the ground? If not then it's a nonissue.
>>563269146>>563269940yes, so now that we agree, I would suggest focusing on the gameplay before "we" add anything newthe most important things I'm seeing right now are only two things:the camera feels jarring to watch, and possibly worse while playing, which is specifically from how close to the enemy the camera gets, and how the enemy is able to go to the side of the camera, half out of viewand then, reworking the distance the enemy tries to maintain from the player between attacks might help a lotobviously do whatever you want, it's your gameI'm helping since you're one of the only ones posting consistent progress recently, that's the only motivation
>>563270143Well that doesn’t help my confidence that I’m literally the only option even if I suck, but hey.So you want enemies to be more balanced in their behavior?Also the camera works on a self programmed rail system

>>563270404they're bad so your brain skips their existence
>>563270213yeah, someone suggested once something about rhythm, it wasn't me, but I agreeeven if the enemy only backs away (when not being stunned like you were saying earlier) for a fraction of 1 second before starting a new attack, there's already a feel of rhythm>the only optionI didn't mean it like that, it's simply that you're active and trying, and I like to see thatI always used to support those who are trying
>>563270516That's exactly what I mean, there are no good games that have less than 200 reviews

>>563271418why would they need to snap at a straight angle?whatever that means
Another background done.
>>563271642If I'm putting tiles from one tilemap onto the other they've got to be at 0 or 90 or 180 or 270 degrees to each other else shit won't translate properly. It's a stupid problem to solve for what was supposed to be a short learning project.
>>563271418mmmm cookie
>>563271357for example, the enemy would do one combo or string of attacks, maybe 3 as an exampleand then a chance to either do a next combo or move away for random 0.3~0.7 secondslike combo A/B/C exist:"A or B" > (A) > "move away, B or C" > ("B") > "A or move away"this creates rhythm and can be specific to each individual enemyas for the camera, maybe considering it as a "hydraulic bar" rather than on rails might have a nicer effect, however I'm not sure what kind of view you want in the gameI don't want to dictate what you're doing, but I'm giving the advice based on what I would do if I was working on that specific project
>>563271826I don't really understand why you would do it that way specifically other than to prove to yourself you can do it I guess. This really seems like a problem you've conjured up for yourself, most obvious for me would be to just keep them separate but attach the smaller asteroid to the bigger and keep its position/rotation relative to the parent. The other way is to just use pixel perfect collision
>>563271357>>563272305also one last thing, this is prototype-able with only one attack animation>>563271642>>563272469>>563271826yes it's similar to the other discussion in this thread, I feel like it's the wrong focus, asteroids don't do that in reality and even in an arcade style game there's no point in making an arcade style system of something that doesn't happen in realityif it's for learning, it makes sense, but what is the purpose for the asteroids to connect like that?
>>563271969It's either that or mild trypophobia.>>563272469You're definitely right but I want to process merged asteroids as single entities and rewriting things to support multiple tilemaps per asteroid, while an obviously correct choice, is simply too much work.
>>563272694it makes a lot more sense when said that wayyeah it seems like a lot of work, do they really need to connect though?
>>563272694I assume the tiles themselves aren't variable in size so it should be trivial, even the most naive solution would suffice.
>>563272625>>563272819The purpose for them connecting is that I think that's very neat. That's basically it.>>563272892I was thinking of making them variable down the line but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
>>563272694>rewriting things to support multiple tilemaps per asteroid, while an obviously correct choice, is simply too much work.unironically this type of issue is exactly what LLMs should be used for
>>563273286Then chunking and using pixel perfect collision is gonna save you so much trouble down the line.
>>563195504experimenting with a 64x64 gradient texture atlas
>>563273286this actually looks a lot nicer than the previous video, it looks like the collisions are aligned with the tiles though, is that the only difference from the other one?
>>563273434I actually don't know what pixel perfect collision is, are you talking about this https://github.com/FinlayTheBerry/Unity2DPixelPerfectCollider ? I guess I have to mention that I'm not actually using Unity's collision physics here, Physics2D.FindNewContacts would absolutely nuke my framerate so I put everything on a non-colliding layer and I'm detecting overlaps and adding physics manually.>>563273510The previous video was an extreme scenario with multiple collisions in a short amount of time and asteroids' rotations spazzing out because they couldn't decide who to snap to. This is just a lot simpler, ,they can properly estimate how long their collision would take so it looks a lot cleaner.
adding forces manually*Sorry, spending so much time starting at rotating rocks makes me a bit retarded.
progress
>>563195504>>563273537The new one is good but the old one is extremely funny and stupid looking and I love it a lot.
>>563273914>I actually don't know what pixel perfect collision isIt's kind of the same as what you're doing now, but you can use the tiles for the "map" or world itself, then you can chunk your asteroids into "tiles" but when resolving collisions you can narrow down to the specific chunks involved by comparing positions and then marching through individual pixels from bitmap mask. You're just checking if pixels are overlapping on each mask, amask is just white/transparent or however you wanna do it, one solid color indicating where the collision is. This means it's also something that isn't impossible to generate or add dynamically.

I have recently decided that I will make puzzle games because I can't into art and don't want to team up and I am better at abstract thought than aesthetics (although I still hope to make something that is visually appealing). Many of my past gamedev came to a halt in no small parts due to the requirement of visual asset production in large quantities. I have now started playing many games in this genre to understand how it works and how these games are played and enjoyed. I hope I will be able to craft interesting puzzles for people to enjoy.Based on my observation so far I do believe there is a market for good puzzle games, the low revenue statistic is simply skewed by a large volume of lower quality games (which I may or may not contribute to in the future).
>>563275819>>"hey anon, don't you work on a video game? did you make any progress?"I do and I did. Yesterday I made some art that was required (because otherwise the player would've been looking at a blank screen). What? That's enough progress for one day, even if it was merely rearranging props and changing textures in Blender and rendering a few images.145 days left until my money runs out and I'll have to have a job or sleep in the stairwell just like this one.

ttf rendering bad
anyone have any idea how i can cull procedurally generated meshes from a set point (NOT the camera) that get rendered with graphics.drawmesh? im using unity btwi cant find any resources on the topic outside of>hurr! just use.. le built on occulusion culler that only works with static pre-baked meshes..?>erm.. why not just... cull anything that isnt in le camera..?>have you tried... ze hyper inefficient and inaccurate raycast that also relies solely on colliders..?none are valid solutions

>>563285561People were just calling him that because he perfectly fits the aesthetic and mannerisms
>>563276362I always ended up on the bottom of whatever social hierarchy in whichever group of friends so I learned to go without friends. I guess that's why I don't feel the need to collab. I'm perfectly capable of making a game by myself because that's how I do everything else.
>>563285293dude i think the greens and blues in your screen are broken
>>563284721You have it backwards, you get greentexted when your post is high quality
>>563285906How do you even decide what to do? I can't stop obsessing about trying to make something perfect that'll make people love me, even if on an intellectual level I can understand it's retarded and holding me back.

>>563285125what do you mean to 'cull from a set point'?
>>563286753he is dropping some trukes. not bad for a filthy nodev
>>563286753Josh has been a teacher for most of his life, what they teach teachers is how to act and think like women so listen to his advice as if a woman was saying it.>Your first game will suckAgain, imagine a woman saying it.
>>563286986i want to render everything that would be visible around a certain point, and not render anything that wouldnt be visible from it. so like if you have a big dome, it would render all the parts of the dome but not anything outside of it, or the point is outside the dome it would only render the parts that are visible from the point

>>563286753>I spent 10y of my life and all my money on this project. If it fails I'm ruined>don't do THATlol. lmao.
>>563287403just don't call drawmesh() if they lie outside the distance to said point
>>563287435Sure, but there are also very good reasons why you never hear about women doing anything of note
>>563287569yeah but if i do that then draw distance would be too low for when i inevitably want to do something that isnt swiss cheese
Why hasn't Fygoon transitioned to being a gamedev influencer for zoomers talking about how to make games with a "retro aesthetic"

>>563288406I don't think I'm half as harsh as she is
How to cope with the fact that the average gamer literally doesn't have taste (not bad taste, I'm saying literally no sense of taste), and you could be making the actual best game ever made but nobody would ever know? You wouldn't give something precious to your crack addicted cousin who's just going to sell it for dope either.
>>563288654What's the issue? Either you ignore them and focus on making something artistic or you try to cater to them and make slop for money. You sound like you're someone who wants both but that obviously will never happen.
>>563288654If you climb a mountain, do you commend yourself for the effort or do you feel relief that the mountain didn't kill you?
>>563288874if I climb a mountain I expect to be paid for my effort. I don't climb mountains for fun

Did Vader know what stormtroopers did at Beru farm? Did he order it? Did he recognize R2D2 and C3PO? Did R2D2 know who Vader was?One day fans will be discussing lore/plot of my game, I just need to write more lore and more unskippable exposition.

Time is part of the stats in my game and I'm storing stats in a list of {statId, intValue}. Would it be wrong to keep time in such a list. Because every frame it has to go through the list and fine statId of Time and set its value, instead of simply writing timePlayed += Time.deltaTime;
>>563281176>all those 40k games from the 90s with kino pre-rendered graphics>this new game is 2d but pixelshitlaaaaame
>>563303248do you think it's lazy to create sprites?
>>563286753why is this guy who has never made a game trying to teach aspiring gamedevs?
>>563288654Arguably the best game ever would have high budget graphics and a large scope which means you couldn't make it alone.
>>563303208It's the same thing. Dictionaries are hash tables, not lists, and do not require iteration to find an entry.
>>563288654
>>563303208I’m adding the integrity check before I touch the remaining docs. That way the rest of the cleanup can be validated against the new structure instead of hoping I didn’t leave another contradictory surface behind.
>>563291938>cool enough to smokewhat century are you posting from?
>>563303586>It's the same thing.Which two are same? Do you mean using a variable directly and dictionary? Right now I'm using List instead of Dictionary because Unity doesn't serialize it. So if I load the savedata and put it in a Dictionary then there would be two copies of all the stats. That why I didn't want to use it. And I don't know a solution for it.
>>563303341I didn't say it was lazy I said it was lame they had the perfect examples in old 40k vidya and still failed

>>563288654these are all good games except for god of war
>>563303901Unity can't serialize a Dictionary? WTF? What a shit engine lmao. The normal solution in Unreal/Godot is to just use a dictionary with FName/StringName key which is just as fast as accessing a native struct/class property.

I wanted a serious rendering library outside of three.js as something I could just code without an entire engine. But it legit looks like three.js is the most supported option without having to rely on an engine.
I just used ai and I feel like I'm using a human sacrifice

>>563307940you're a man now
The funny thing about Ai. It can make you seem smart or rich. But your still ugly. I'm gonna take cute pics of myself this dream is dead. All that matters now is what I look like
what game do you associate with the best times in your life so far? is there one? is it your favorite game?
>>563308919My game.
>>563308625AI can make you seem attractive toobut what you look like was always all that mattered. men are finding that out which is why they're giving up on education and employment
>>563309038and I'm not even joking. Being able to create this beautiful game? Amazing. I love these times.What did I have before? I wasn't as enlightened as I am now. I was in existential pain before enlightenment. I have to say that I am in the best times right now.This is my victory lap. And it shows. I got more done in a month than I did in all of 2024 and all of 2025 combined. It's intense.Because I am enlightened now and I remembered her face.
>>563308919counter strike source, swat 4, quake 3 arena, ravenshield, and halo 1
>>563308625no one gives a fuck what about you, only what you can provide. You provide nothing using AI, you provide nothing without using AI. But hey at least you're cute.
>>563305259Sounds more like you're seething.
by harnessing the power of AI, I have achieved nirvana
