6 Ways to 7 is released! Thanks for all the help and feedback /agdg/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4005440/6_Ways_To_7/
just watched a jeff vogel talk and i really like the way he thinks. he seems like he just does what works instead of trying to make something work. e.g. he ignores all feedback, because he knows it ruins his progress. he uses free assets as much as he can, because this way he gets stuff done. he doesn't work on a game for longer than a year, because he knows he will grow tired of it. he says to keep your job until your game makes good money, otherwise its too much pressure. he thinks shipping is more important than quality. when asked if you should learn to draw he just said he cant draw and uses free assets and if he really has to he hires a freelancer. if someone complains about art quality he doesn't even know cause he doesn't even read feedback. doesn't give a shit about trends or having a hit, because caring doesn't help at all with the progress, it just distracts you.0% ideology, 100% pragmatism
extraction game but you're a corporation that cant be defeated and siphon resources from the land and dump chemicals in the water
>>563598882
usually I post meme ideas but this one is actually good:>city builder but its set in a fantasy world so you have wizard schools and dragons destroyin your city 'n shityou owe me 50% of your profits if you use this idea because you read it here. Immunity dog does not protect you from this
>>563598681free flash game slop
>>563598681>Warren Buffet>The Shining
>>563598681not my type of game but I like the vibe it has
>>563598882it isnt a bad mindset, but he also probably has a fanbase that fits that style. if you dont, you will just get brigade by "games dead" reviews if you dont update it for years after release.
>>563599082it's a bad poor idea
>>563599151Imagine if warren buffet invested in your game
Question to anyone who finds himself on this list (or even to the whodevs who released a game but never posted it here):How did you find your game's music/musician? Like specifically where did you start looking for and where did you end up at and why did you choose them?Yeah I know, "search royalty-free music, fiverr", whatever, I know the standard way to get music, but I'm interested specifically in the personal accounts of what someone who released a game did, just to expand my range of options and worldview. (And yes you don't have to reveal your name or the musician's, just the method of how you got into contact with them and what criteria you had for choosing them.) Thank you.
>>563599997>How did you find your game's music/musician?I found him within myself.
6 (ways to) 7
Anyone else sleepy?
>>563599997i'm on that listfriend of a friend saw the game and wanted to make music for ithe had no prior experience but i liked the stuff he was making and gave him a shotnever spoke to him beforehand.
>>563599997I started composing music in 2017 then I studied music theory in 2021.
Thinking about creating 2D multiplayer shooter similar to Soldat/Teewars. What engine should I pick? Does Defold have decent networking? Wanted to try programming in Lua for long time.
>>563600387The engine-source searches are too broad and wasting time.
>>563600387>Soldatnow thats a name i havent heard of in a decade. i used defold for a bit, not to do any networking though. wish you the best.
>>563599997There are a few guys that you can hire like a mercenary, but they are mostly mentally ill people with almost zero experience that want 500/1000 bucks per song because "they have a degree".There are more affordable ppl that will set you back "only" a hundred per song, but even in that case it's not worth it. Not for your first game at least.Consider that you might never release, or never make a profit. Musicfags wants to be payed right now, and are not invested in you or your project; but in the case your game succeedes they will put it in their portfolio and use it as an excuse to raise their fares.More over, there is one case where a game was technically successful, but since devs spent 10k in music they went under. Tldr, imo stay far away from musicfags until you are sure you can finish a game and make a profit.If you have a friend that can make music for you, that's another story
>>563597818>>563598631their ability to "legally" fork your project is dependent on your license>No permission is granted to use, copy, modify, or distribute this softwareif it was a GPL license or some OSS license you could go cry to the FSF/whoever to threaten legal action on your behalf however youll need to do it yourself with All Rights Reservedhowever this is a repository with 10 commits your code has already been scraped and fed into ChatGPT and probably whatever database is behind the sameanddude botdont use goyhub baka
>>563600387>ThinkingYou won't do shit.
>somebody streamed my game>for 15 minutes before saying they hate it and uninstaling it
>>563601238Good.
>>563597818>>563601080>still crying about muh license in age of AI scrape theft and LLMs
>>563600942>but since devs spent 10k in music they went underhttps://youtu.be/v_g2vrTl7s4?t=176not quite as bad but dont be like him
>>563570260>>563585453if you want to make games as "art" then do so but give up the notion that you should become a millionaire for doing so that's the core issue you're havingthere's nothing wrong with making games that are purely for entertainmentstop complaining about what other people make and turn your focus inward >>563585880the hardest part of making a game is turning a good idea into a good finished marketable game
>>563601238should have used godot king
>>563600387pick the engine you know how to use>but I don't know how to use anythingthen you also won't be making a multiplayer game so your question is pointless
>>563598882I looked him up and he seems to just makes the same game over and over again.
>>563602403I did!
>>563602403>godot>kingmore like yass kweeeen!!!!
>>563599293fuck you
>>563599082what about city builder with different fantasy races with different needs and you have to control immigration and enact laws and theres race riots etc etcit can be like "monster girl city builder" to appeal to coomers
>>563602992that could be an interesting angle
they say mindset is offtopic, yet all of their problems come from depression, lack of motivation, hopelessness etc.>>563602487so what? seems like a successful strategy. as i said he doesnt care about optics.
What about a game that exists as computer software instead of just a fantasy in your head?
>>563602992The monster girl zoo dev idea is a superior version.
>>563601776 that's a fucking disaster.
>>563598681Where'sthe/v/threadcoward?
Wow, an offer of at least 100 USD to buy my game!I think I may be getting rich!Is this some sort of new scam?
>>563602992https://store.steampowered.com/app/4289020/Monstergirl_Hunters/Mado is lightyears ahead of you.
>>563603552Dude, they are taking big RISKS promoting your game. You should be thankful they're giving you the chance to get your Steam Fee money back.
>>563603552It very well may be a scam, but it's not an absurd idea. Devs can re-coup their steam fee + any sales they did get, and this place can sell 10$ for 10 games packages or some shit. If they have a wide enough reach to reach customers, it's not a bad idea.
>>563603552>hey, your game has under 500 reviews on steam, you are a failure give us your gameI can't wait for one of these too steam's fucked enough that I'm completely unable to view 18+ games, no matter what country I live in, because my bank is in the UK and I don't have a credit card
>>563604082Fuck off no way thats real.
>>563604082If you're unable to do basic adult things like get a credit card and escape your shithole nanny state, then maybe you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy adult content.
>>563604281>basic adult things like get a credit cardBasic adult things like sign up for a cuckcard that can only exist by draining the poor and giving tot he rich? that is pushed on people because "muh credit score"?There's a reason credit cards are more popular in the US, including the fact that usury is legal in the US
>>563604082I just recently ran into the issue that I couldn't email my wishlisters because the demo is 18+ and thus not available in my country => Steam thinks my demo page isn't up.I had to ask the freelancer I work with to go to the steamworks dashboard of the game and click the button for me.Small indie company.
>>563579795As an artistic medium it might be new but the paints, brushes and canvases have been mostly figured out. Excuse my analogy. Early gamedevs didn't have control standards, defined genres, game design tropes, commonly understood sub-mechanics and whatever else. Shit, even the entire literal art pipeline was getting remade every few years. From color palettes and pixel counts increasing, then 3d graphics and 3d itself going through massive changes. All of those things are fairly set in stone today. Yeah there's some slow development in the AAA graphics space and occasionally someone comes up with a new funky art style, and there's some new fusion genres like we've seen with roguelites and incremental games. In the grand scheme of things these are small changes to the medium. It is rare to see a game that's artistically new, be it from design, story or literal art point of view.
>>563604431Just pay it off ever month, faggot. It costs you nothing.
>>563603552aren't you making like $2000 patreon bucks a month
I barely did shit for a monthBack to obsessively following /agdg/ and working on my game
Explain to me why it is a bad idea to buy rights to a failed AGDG steam game for 5 bucks and upload my game to their pages instead of paying the 100 fee?
>>563603552Is this from Betz? He's been talking about starting an /agdg/ publisher recently...
Game table. https://files.catbox.moe/mqf54f.jpg
>>563605446wouldn't that fuck with the algorithm or some shit>>563605482nah that's just the new scam going around
>>563603552buying up the assets of failed competitors forced into liquidation is a classic capitalismism.so yes a scam.
>>563605482
if anyone's looking for an artist to work on their game, I will have some time opening pretty soon.Free for the right kind of hobby game, otherwise still pretty reasonable.Tell me: 2D/3D (ok with either, more comfortable with 2D), genre, engine, scope (jam project or first game vs multiple years), any other details like other games you've made or style you're thinking of
>>563606716how much?
>>563606901Depends, but always reasonable.Answer the questions and I'll be able to give you a better idea.
I don't know how to make my game good, or fun.
>>563607049if it aint free, i cant afford youbesides i dont even know what I need at the moment. good luck tho
>>5636067164DMidgetSexV8Sniperpresident lincoln
>>5636067163d, puzzle, unity, multiple years at least 10
>>5636067163D, tactics,godot,agdg jam project (will not extend beyond that date),just need some crappy ui for now.a main menu would be nice, with all the setting stuff.Not looking for quality just quick shit, preferably in the same style as the buttons
>>563523497Clicking spawns a bullet. Added some targets to shoot at and collision checking to disable bullet & target when you hit something.Collisions are extremely simple (circle hitboxes only), so that's why you can see a bullet sail through the corner of a target.I officially have gameplay.
>>563608521>6 misses out of 7 shots
man seriously. if i can't make a game with all those free assets online. (pixel art on itch/opengameart or 3D with all the free unreal assets) then i might just be retarded.
>>563603615zamn monster girl hunters looks like that now?i think i played a super early beta of it and didnt like italso i swear it was a porn game, but i might be mixing it up with one of his other onesi dont really like any mado games desu desu
>>563608647I was trying to give you a better look at the bullets as they flew off at nothing
4chan slow for anyone else today?
gemini is suprisingly better coder than me, lmao.also raylib is amazing.
>>563609692Yeah. The captcha system is slow to load.
>>563609692yes, captcha takes ages to load.
>>563603546I always thought it was bad form to make a thread for your own game
>>563609697cris what happened to that not-rpgmaker engine? you were praising it yesterday
>>563610236It lacks documentation and tutorials.
>>563604468it's crazy what kind of incompetence gabencunt gets away with on steamworksand because retarded gamercunts don't see that they don't care, and gamedevs are too cucked to get that fat ass to do anything about it
>>563598681>3 players
>>563610872>released 5 hours ago>all-time peak 3 hours ago>1 players right now
>>563610872>>563611050I never had high hopes for the sales or players, based on my demo player cout, and I released with 400 wishlists.But, I now occupy the "Craps roguelike" niche, which I'm hoping will give me a bit of a longer tail. That was how I got most of my demo fans, at least the people I asked.
>>563611321>he managed to capture a niche within a niche within a niche within a niche within a niche within a niche within a niche within a niche
dead thread, dead hobby
>>563611321>I never had high hopes for the sales or players, based on my demo player cout, and I released with 400 wishlists.what's the point of having it on steam if this is your level of effort?
>>563611541I never claimed to be good at business.
>>563611834Many such cases.
>>563597664So what's the best platform to make a platformer? Game maker? Godot? I just want to make a simple but fun 2D platformer with parallax scrolling
>>563611820I'm proud of the game I've built, and want to share it to as many as people as possible, and steam is the best market place to do that. If I make some money on the side, that's cool too.
Predictions?I think 30+ reviews by Sunday and ~90 at the end of the month
>tfw made progress but can't share it because phoneposting
>>563612002>0.6 time player>Positive reviewHow do I find these players?
>>563609953As long as you're up front about being a shill and not trying to be sneaky
>>563611934zukjeet nigger
>>563606716Artists are in demand but the problem is you have on idea if an artist posting "hey I'll work on a game" is who you needexperience in background, environment design? UI design? effects and animation? those matter a lotthe art style you usually work in matters a lot because a unique artstyle can sell a game just by itself.so whenever I see someone post like this, I really wish they'd just post their portfolio. I hire artists all the time but that's because I'm following their work and I'm finding them on art servers and such.
>>563612291Don't forget to buy my course.

>>5636003109 years of making music, you must be amazing by now, right?
>>563612684https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1oj4IksptMdunno, lol.but this is good.
>>563598681wait was the game always named after the meme or is this just a freaky coincidence
>>563612989
>>563612476idk people have been wrong before...
>>563612582Wtf I wish gamedev was real
>>563613191it had momentum on launch day surprising that it did but easy to see that it was gonna turn out pretty well after that19 after 5 days is ngmi tier
>>563613067A pair of 2 D6 will roll 7 a 6 different combinations, and 7 is a critical number in Craps. So it just happened to line up.I think the meme has helped with marketing though
>>563611985Nta, 400 wishes tells me that you didn't market at all.I can agree on pride to have reached release (dunno if this is your first), but you do a disservice to your work and your game by not searching your audience.People will come to steam to buy, but they need to know your game exists. Otherwise how they can find it?
gamedev is great if you don't have any expectation of money and fame and winning the indiedev lottery, but focus more on gettting better at gamedev.
>>563613191Currently working on badges and making the steam page for OST.My plans for the future of the game is making more maps and guns.
>>563612002damn, this game looks solid. i feel like the numbers should be higher.
You all have day jobs right?
>>563613565>People will come to steam to buy, but they need to know your game exists. Otherwise how they can find it?zuk jeet convinced everyone on /agdg/ that steam doesn't throttle games and that good games always sell, despite both things being a lie. he's done insurmountable damage to devs in this thread.
>>563613565>Nta, 400 wishes tells me that you didn't market at all.But aggy told me that marketing does nothing and only pleasing the Algorithm has any real effect?
Friendly reminder that "marketing" is not the problem. 90% of your marketing is your product. Just like make a good fun game that people want to play.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCzhyUsDHPE
a game where you play as a wizard but you put people in chokeholds and armbars
>563613943and the subhuman creatue is back right as the word "marketing" is posted. truly a digusting vermin.

>>563614136hi fagtroon
>>563613565>Nta, 400 wishes tells me that you didn't market at all.You aren't wrong, although my marketing plan was kneecapped by a very poorly timed reddit ban. Twitter did not work out well (but did find me some cool people and fans). I never tried youtube shorts, because I hate editing. I've posted about it in various craps groups, which is my target audience.I always get a few good replies from those groups, so I'll probably keep that up.>People will come to steam to buy, but they need to know your game exists.Most people tell me they find the game by thinking "is there a craps roguelike?" and then googling it to find my game, which sounds perfect to me.
>>563614334I used her face in the capsule image because those images are very small, a big crazy face is more easy to read visually and it call the attention of the viewer more easily That's what I belief I am making an update to include all the poses I made.

>>563615152rent free
>>563613852
Why are those content creators asking for a DM from the developer instead of just making a video with his game if they wanted to?
>>563615903so they can discuss payment of showcasing your game in private duh
>>563613852>>563614669Post her naked
>>563615903They usually want affiliate links or such, it's pretty common and I don't think CCs reaching out like this to indies expect them to have any money to sponsor with. So instead they like to raffle out keys
>>563615903just another pindujeet steam key scam
i think the problem of the internet is that the customer is too close to the producer now. never before have producers be bombarded like that with feedback. also never before had producers so much access to customers opinions.think about it. in the 90s, nobody knew what's on the mind of customers. it was just anonymous strangers and the only way to quantify their opinion was by sales numbers. now you can go to youtube or reddit and read what's on their mind. we have way too much access to what people think. it makes us too obsessed with what others want or think.
Small proggy today.Had an autistic episode and created a super modular system for abilities.Im going to fiddle with it just a bit more and then add some more ui to the game
>>563616820goy cattle don't have opinions worth listening to bruvburn the internet down and start over
>>563616820Producers in the 90s wished they had access to this kind of power. It's the power to hyper-optimize our products through real metrics. You're really just complaining about the race-to-the-bottom this newfound power has created because you're a fucking loser who doesn't want to keep with the times and play the meta.

>>563617791There barely is one but i think as we get closer to demoday it will emerge.>>563617691OOP/Inheritance coding was peak autism era for me
>>563613882Yes, and sadly since getting a job I haven't had time for side project. Hoping to retire in 5 or 10 years so I can get back to gamedev for myself instead of for studios
>>563617851>zero-sum third world retard can't comprehend basic business acumen
>>563617919Alright tough guy how would you do somthing like that
>>563617956thats true, but my narcissistic feelings have deluded me into thinking my game will succeed.if i want to play it, if i get addicted to my own game, wouldnt other people? i picked a popular genre, too.Being serious, though, I notice a lot of games with dog shit appeal. I just cant imagine the developer wanting to play the game themselves, like they just made slop for an audience in mind.I just feel like I'm outside that group.
>>563618394progress
>>563617106>>563617956you are a dravidian ape and should go back to indiachan already.
>>563618869You want to play the delusion in your mind and not the resulting piece of computer software. Video games are a form of interactive media and are not complete until they interact with the audience.
>>563619269aren't you the "owner"
saw this scene while coloring the tergain and I thought of this being a biome with beetle people warring against mole people.
>>563619803You speak with a lot of authority, are you a yesdev?
>>563619803you've been posting your nodev drivel since july 2025 and in that time you could've already released a game. you don't even follow what you preach.
>>563618394>>563619269great crunchy ludokino progs
>>563620107Yes.>>563620197I preach making better games, and that's really what upsets you the most.
might be a very dumb question but how do guns in fpses work? by that i mean do games have the bullets actually come out of the 3d gun model? if not then how to they simulate tracer vfx where it looks like the bullet is coming out of the barrel?
>>563620412you have never actually posted a single screenshot of your supposed "games" that you clain to have made. let alone links to their listings on itch.io or anything else.
>>563601238At least you made something. Now do something again.
>>563620810>>563620940Nice try, but I'm obviously going to leave room for plausible disability between my dev identity and my identity where I call mentally ill losers like you "nigger faggot".
>>563620808Unless the game is an ultra-realistic military sim, bullets come out your eyeballs. Often there's a visual-only "bullet" that comes out the barrel, but this isn't what damages enemies.
>>563621214all that word salad just to admit that you don't have a game.
word salad? yummy
>>563595517Anyone who thinks UNDERTALE is a Earthbound clone has played neither of the games.
>>563622039ill admit i stopped playing undertale after the fish lady but i beat earthbound
You need to scam and grift your way to the top.
>>563622039Yeah Earthbound sucks monkey butt, Undertale doesn't.
