Proggy.Added a new weapon(s): The crossbow dualies.Has double the fire rate of the bow but half the damage and projectile speed.I also replaced the water textures and added distortion to the shader so it looks more natural.
I am very happy with the graphical style for the game I'm making which is similar to 3D Dwarf Fortress but with much more to it.
'rogarmor durability set up>monsters drop broken armor immediately>players keep it equipped but it is effectively useless until repaired>durability damage is applied to whatever limb you hit
>>563712727what type of game are you making? would work well for a roguelike
Added charging animation for when you charge the ball into a power ball.There's a flash when you charge the ball so I thought I was going to have to add a bunch of new particle for the different power ball types, but I realised the hit flash was exactly what I wanted so I can just reuse that.

Anyone else that only has an hour per day to dev? How do you make it work?I always spend like 10 minutes remembering what I was trying to do, 40 minutes trying to implement something and then the last 10 I realize it doesn't work and I revert back to the last working build

is spending $38k usd on a small team to develop anime visual novel a bad idea
>>563715763he can be the first
So how is everyone keeping a roof over their heads while they pursue this moneyless hobby? By the time I arrive home from my minimum wage job I barely have enough energy to shit.
>>563715898is 38k a lot for you or is it a small amount of your total savings?

>>563715797Get this in front of a screaming autistic youtuber and you're set for life
>>563718782claude code for me is simply unusable with the rate limits, they gimped the models too AND they charge more per token, dario is a jew, take that what you will, codex however is working just fine on the 20 bucks plan
>>563715797>>563718869You MUST change the name, however.Call it Glimbopp or Crimpy or something equally retarded, or it will drown in the endless heralds and heroes.
>>563718945I've been getting one daily answer out of Claude Sonnet for free for the last couple of weeks and I was about to pay up today, but do you think Codex is a better option?Why?
what devs think gamers should want: a game you just make, without overthinking, without being a perfectionist, scoped with limited content, with a practical art stylewhat gamers really want: a game that is perfect, well thought-through, with tons of content, with high detail photorealistic 3D models
>>563719067codex with 5.4 very high thinking is better than opus max, AND you get like x3 the usage you would get with sonnet high, it's night and day, but you can't use anything above 5.2 if you don't pay
^plus they have a $7 plan so you don't have to spend the full 20$ to test it
God I love it when I update Visual Studio and MS fucks with my layout. Also, I need a cute racist Orchid gf.
>>563714376>I get claude to do something in 10 minutes that would take me 10 hours.It's so scary how good it is sometimes. I made progress with my game that would took me weeks, in like days.
Where do you guys look for and find assets or artist to make assets for your game?
>>563719535i also paid for claude, literally unusable, not even using it till codex is refilled. would rather do nothing than tard wrangle claude.
honestly raylib is amazing and beter than an engine when you mix it up with a language like nim.
>>563719685Okay, I am happy with Claude myself. It made a lot of systems for my games. So what does it wrong for you? Make mistakes?

>>563723463My company pays for it. The other IT team has zero visibility into how many tokens I burn in OpenAI teams, and accounting doesn’t give a shit they’re too busy processing million dollar invoices to think twice about a few hundred bucks on OpenAI. Life is good.
balatro normalized glorifying slop"hehe it makes me addicted, this means it's really good""the dev really spent a lot of effort making it stimulating with ui effects etc. this means it's really good because it makes me addicted hehe"telling me that i'm too much of a boomer to enjoy it, is like telling me i'm too much of a boomer to enjoy heroin.somehow people started making brainrot sound like a good thing. i mean gambling is literally the most soulless way of gamedesign possible.this all wouldn't bother me so much if it wouldn't cause all gamedevs trying to make slop now too. as if it's some sort of trend to make the sloppiest slop possible. i'm not the target audience for equivalent of heroin.worst thing is those heroin junkies think it's me having a problem. they look at me with their crack eyes and rotten teeth and think it's my problem for not enjoying life in their sloppy dopamine world they created.

i thought about it a lot and probably the happiest people in the world are the ones who can enjoy doing the same thing over and over again. they enjoy their wife every day, they enjoy the same video game every day, the same food every day, the same work every day, the same project they work on every day.they never get into this fucked up mental state of waiting for something new to happen. they never depend on someone revolutionizing anything. they never depend on someone improving anything. they just found what they enjoy and keep enjoying it over and over again.

>>563726357>>563723831After every cultural push, a counter-cultural push follows.People today look at Dark Souls and say "well actually it's not that hard of a game I dunno what the big deal was with it" but the reason it exploded in popularity in the early 2010's is because at the time the industry was turning EXTREMELY casual. There was this saying going around treated as universal truth by game designers "if the player sees a game over screen that's the developer's fault". It was a time when "infinite regenerating health" became the norm for FPS games, action games became God of War-likes with "spam square to win", tutorials and handholding out of the ass for every little thing, etc. Some players were of course getting frustrated, and then Dark Souls came (well Demon Souls first but it wasn't even sold in the west initially) whose gameplay was really reminiscent of the old, harsh and unforgiving games from back in the day, that punished the player severely and didn't hold their hand. And of course people loved it, because they were sick and tired of all the casual garbage dumped by the industry at the time. Which is why ironically if a game like Dark Souls was released 10 years earlier (with graphics matching that time period) it probably wouldn't have become so popular, because people the people of those times were already used to difficult games. In the same vein, people will get sick of gamblingcore games eventually, the question is: when that time comes will you be ready to capitalize on the opportunity and offer them an escape from that?
any dreamdevs? i made a small game once, and a few unfinished projects. im jumping straight into my dream game.i cant make any small games, they dont interest me. i HAVE to waste 7 years of my life to create a game 2 people might play. i HAVE to, you guys.
>>563727136valuable post, good job. yes, im making my dream game. i see the market in a few years, i plan on being early. the SOVL market is gonna be bigger than ever u guys
i need to fix my inventory system but im just going to goon to some disgusting fat woman with a giant ass instead
>>563727159spent 8 years on my dream game. was crushed under the techdebt. stopped working on it to learn how to finish a game with a small(4 month) project. finishing is a skill. I will return to it once this one is out.
what genres of game do players not expect a story or voice acting?

o3 is the only model that won't straight up lie to me about expectations and code/foundation quality
>>563727159At least focus on making a small vertical slice and make it as good as you can. And then remake it over and over again until you have something actually good.
>>563728056
i feel like old mmorpgs and even stuff like pokemon basically taught you how to become successful in life. it taught you all the basic lessons:a) only pick enemies at your level to level up, if you pick enemies to hard for you you just die and even lose experience points (yes old mmorpgs make you lose xp on death) -> only work on stuff that is at your skill level or you make no progressb) grind (thats how work works) -> do the same stuff over and over to get bigc) find a guild to powerlevel you (nepotism is key to success) -> getting help from higher level people levels you up way fasterd) work in a team to achieve things you can't achieve alone -> work in a teame) pick a role and stick with it (healer, mage, tank etc.) -> pick a skill and master it, work together with people who master other skillsf) follow a linear progression instead of just aimlessly wandering around the world -> similar to picking goals at your skill level and not jumping ahead - also not overcomplicating it

>>563727136Had Dark Souls come out in early 2000s it would have been incredibly mid and likely very jank. If you've played Blade of Darkness or Enclave or other games like that from that era you know how jank they are. I mean souls has a fair bit of jank even as they are but they would have been quite a lot worse had they released earlier. I can see it having a dedicated audience but it would have been niche sort of like the Kings Field series and spinoffs are.

>>563726357>Gambling is le badGambling is just a reward mechanims in the toolbox of game design.Claiming that skinner boxes and dice roll slop is bad, is like claiming that sugar and shit like honey should be banned from cooking recipes, because le american food is garbage with chemical sugar.Shit like random damage rpg numbers, criticals, a chest giving a random unique giant sword, or a special that deals a huge damage randomly are part of what makes games great.

>>563727074I care. You don't even think.
>>563728734maybe we call it "cheating" because it doesn't work like that in real life and therefore it doesn't have any educational value.
>>563728496
>>563728746im not against gamba. i just think those two games opened the floodgates of the most mobile-tier slop ever. i've never seen such a wave of trendchasing uninspired slop in my life. miziziz is a good example of a small-game dev that actually tries with weird unique ideas. hes in it for the love of the game, and u can see that with his projects. these new games are not like that.

>>563728347
i finished jerking off to a disgusting fat woman with a giant assnow to fix my inventory system
>>563728746>Claiming that skinner boxes and dice roll slop is badSkinner box is by definition bad, at least the conventional used meaning by people. It is the "eating sugar by the spoonful straight from the jar" of your food analogy. As opposed to say making a carrot cake with a lot of fiber that's slower to digest and doesn't instantly trigger insulin and dopamine receptors in your mouth like plain sugar does.
>>563729232how hard can an inventory system be
one thing that fascinates me about trend-chasing is how close-minded it makes people. it turns a world of infinite possibilities into a finite one. and "finite" isn't even the right word, it's "singular".it narrows down the space of possibilities to one idea only.you could argue that it makes you completely blind.

>>563730013She stopped showing her tummy and started wearing an oversized suit
>>563727136you're so hopeful that the pendulum will swing back but if you actually zoom out, and look at gaming trends in general, you'll see that the casualisation of the 2000s-2010s has only progressed further into the slopification of today.you're forgetting that at least 2 generations have now been raised on shitty mobile slop games and roblox who think that skinner box design, microtransactions and gamba are perfectly fine and are now buying games.we literally have one of those retards in this very thread.if you want an analogy, look at television i suppose. it effectively killed reading, and while critical circles of television did appear, the concept itself of "rotting infront of the telly" did not disappear, it metamorphosed into something more horrid which is doomscrolling on tiktok.
>>563729814easiest would of my day
>>563729543It also gives you money.Also for some people "infinite possibilities" is a negative. It means choice paralysis, having a beaten path to walk on is much more preferable.

>>563731837Yeah, I gave up on life decades ago. It never gets better.I used to be a delusional retard thinking some piece of shit game I made would save me but they have about as much appeal as some shitty flash game from 20 years hosted on a malware ridden website.The only thing I look forward to is my parents pension check coming in so I can go buy a decent amount of alcohol.
>>563732749You might as well try. Do you think your resignation is going to protect you from something?

>>563732820don't waste your time on me, it's too late for me. I hope you all find success.
>>563733803this is why i also started a gaming review channel myself
>>563733835Sounds like you're just physically tired. You're more powerful than you think when you have nothing to lose.I suggest you get your physical health at a good rhythm and then go all out in whatever you wish to do.
>>563733803>>563733954this gave me an idea. people watch games a lot not. what if i made a review channel about what games they should watch?
i like to eat chips when i code so i got durritos down my dress >.< day in the life of a coder girl :3
>>563733954>>563734120The long term play is to make a review channel and then review your own game and give it 10/10."Ok guys, I stumbled upon this game , and I got a chance to play it.. and wow. It really mixes the classic DRPG mechanics with Clicktown gameplay."
gameplay doesn't matter
>>563734158
>>563734158can you go on a date with me? im going to be a milliionaire with my dream game....just wait 8 years
where are da loligaems????
>>563732749so... you basically gave up on gamedev but you're still here to have melties every time you see someone else succeeding?
did they fix the captcha?
>>563734158baby girl, lots of people are gonna send you hurtful comments but i just want you to know that not all guys are pigs and mean. i respect you as a person and would never objectify you in any way shape or form. i will defend your honor, and eating chips in your dress is so smexy haha anywayzole, wish u well baby girl and maybe i could be your c++ haha! (thats a coding joke my sweet!)
My game just isn't fun. I play my game and it doesn't trigger dopamine. I play Slay the Spire and it triggers dopamine. I'm going to take a 3 day break from anything compute related then come back and try to remake my gameplay loop from scratch while keeping the same assets and UI elements which I'm not going to waste my fucking time on again.

I am extending Node so I should have Position and Scale available but I don't. Looking at the definition of Node in the SDK does not show the properties either but all the tutorials I look at does it this way.I believe the problem is the SDK setup, because that shit just seems error prone to me. I got VSCodium running and installed the C# Tools For Godot extension, but VSCodium does not recognize properties of Godot objects, neither by intellisense or when I try to play from the Godot editor.I'm stumped
https://x.com/i/status/2044370399987687560i feel like a complete retard hack for trying to make a game in the co-op genre now

the problem with intrinsic motivation is that you usually have it for one thing, but in gamedev you have to have intrinsic motivation for dozens of things.

Helped a neighbor clean out their garage and got some delicious chocolate cake. Made coffee to provide a nice bitter contrast to the cake's sweetness.140 days left, I owe 5 full days of work to my game. Spent the entire day yesterday making glacial progress on a UI element but it's almost done. Today I have to recreate my project for reasons, which is another one of those things that makes games take such a long time to make. I'm at 1100 hours in so far on this one and it's a sequel to one of my previous games and shares a lot of its code and assets. Things are not going well...
>>563736884Yeah, changing that works, thanks.I actually checked Node3D for it but only with autocompletes on the classname I haven't programmed in nearly a decade so I have a lot of relearning to do....And the tutorial I'm following just extends Node, weird

I ran out of ideas for improving my game.I bought some similar games to play in the following week and see if there is anything that will be interested in incorporated it.I also still have a pro Suno subscription which I will probably not longer use so if you need 5.5 generations just send me a DM and let me know.

>>563739529yeah, i will not be going modern as i think old guns have a lot more charm. there are almost no assets for korean era bedies general cold war guns though. i might just go general cold war so i can just add what i want or can find. i have time though as getting all the ground work laid will take time.

the reason you dont get better from lurking gamedev social media is cause they are all at your own skill level, worse, or only slightly better.it's the environment itself that is limited by the people who you find in it.

on a platform with 140 million monthly active users, selling 100k copies is not a hit. and no, it doesn't say anything about what gamers want. there's still 140 million people who do NOT want that type of game."so why are those the only games that are bought?" -> easy to answer: because there is nothing else being released. so they just play the old games they always play.
I think forcing me to make my own game engine in raylib, was pretty neat, because It wasn't as dificult.But I had to basically understand shit like why the fuck do I need a signal system, or I need a global data vault or a preload intro loading screen.

>>563745131took me 3 days to vibe code.I found that making a functional engine code wise takes like a week.99% of what it takes the dev time is making the GUI editors.

seeing thomas brush talking to jeff vogel makes me almost angry. constantly trying to push the idea that gamers want dumb short games. constantly obsessing over money. it's almost like trying to peer pressure jeff into doing less work and producing more slop because the indie sloppers all agreed to feeding slop because its easier to make money doing that. this whole anti-work ethic, this whole anti-intelligence ethic, anti-effort, anti-value. i get where its coming from. but man something about it rubs me the wrong way. it's like believing you have to be a shit developer making shit and making sure its as shit as possible. and then wondering why your game doesn't sell lmao.i'd sell it's well deserved. if you glorify being a shit developer, then have fun getting filtered by the market.and constantly referring to balatro and schedule 1 (games that actually took 2+ years of honest effort), wont change the fact that the other 100k slop titles all fail with that mindset.what a shit culture those youtube devs created...
>>563745515This is trivial if you are using Vulkan.
>>563745728Jeff Vogel is not doing well. Proof? He's talking to Thomas Brush.
>>563745728Vibrate my brother. Embrace your higher frequencies and rise above the filth.
>>563745578on the upside you will be included in future class action lawsuits.
>>563745515Your engine almost certainly has a way for you to add invisible occluders for culling purposes if that's what you're going for. If you mean occlude as in clipping, then I think you're wanting the stencil buffer, not the depth buffer.
>>563745826>make some gambleslop pls, we all agreed that we all make gambleslop now, so we have to put in little effort and all make hit after hit, because gameslop is the future, right right?
>>563745728But Chris Zukowski was doing that to Brush in a way. Brush is definitely not building a slop game. He's putting his all into something he is passionate about.
>>563746324I understand but what I'm saying is Vogel should be listening. His games are not doing well.
>>563745728a Melvor Idle-like based on his games could be a massive hit though...
>>563746645ok zukowski. then make a better game and sell more copies. oh you can't? then why should i give a fuck about your opinion?
>>563735976You're actually right, I find it boring as fuck. But people love it, I need to find out why. I need to find their secret ingredient and add it to my game.
>>563743505Being your own boss, founding your own company, making money, the usual.
>>563746876>I need to find out whyimagine 90% of the playerbase buying that game because of this specific effect. "others seem to like it, so it must be good, right?".same reason we listen to shit music because its popular, but would never search and buy that slop on our own.zomboid is a good example of a game that blew up when the peer pressure kicked in. the game was good before too, but when people saw its popular the herd mentality kicks in.
>>563746645Jeff Vogel follows the 1000 true fans principle
>>563746645he might be getting by with the tail of his huge library of old games and he's still releasing a game every other year or so
>>563746767Unpleasant TRVKE: A Melvor Idle-like isn't as simple to make as the nodevs here want to believe. Rocky Idle took 2.5+ years to make. Melvor Idle 2 was announced over a year ago (in development for much longer) and that hasn't released yet either. I tried to make one last year and got burnt out pretty quick. It's still an RPG with a metric fuckton of complex systems that require building.
>>563746876>I don't like thing>But I need to keep obsessing over it until I find out why other people like it>That way I can make my thing like their thing>What I like does not matterSome of you are so lost
>>563747094reminds me of a musician i stopped buying albums from when he got popular and tried to make more pop music. and nowadays he completely vanished.
The Indie Renaissance is here. Indie Devs will be passionate again.
>>563747190Even if you get the mechanical systems working it's quite a bit of work to figure out the numbers and the scaling and progression of a game like that.
>>563747443it takes a lot of financial misery to make someone passionate. the brain needs to learn that it can't cut corners and that you can't cheese your way to success. only then it starts building integrity and make a clear decision if you want to still keep going or if you run away because it's not a get rich quick thing.

There is no magical engine, tool, or framework out there that will turn you from a nodev into a yesdev. Stop seeking an external force to fix your life for you, and instead, find it within yourself.

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

I used to come here 4 years ago and it was bad, lots of namefags and schizos but people posted progress and got excited for DD at the very least.Checking the thread we had... 4 progress posts, all in the first 20 messages, then schizo shit allllllll the way down and not a single game in sight.

My life was a lot better when I had a job even though I earn enough to get by from gamedev. I feel like I'm drowning and get rescued at the last moment by some sadistic lifeguard
>>563757751this shitslop was on ign and stuff, it had an enormous marketing campaign for it.
>joshua returns>tranny meltienoticing! sad!
>>563758107
>>563756224Too bad. So sad.Since when people on chan are so thin skinned that they run away from schizos?You post progress, some anons tell you to kys, others call u a nigger. Sometimes you get some great feedback. This was the communityNow the thread is dead and the discord is an hugbox.
>>563758383>get help or diewuh?
>>563758167sure but I still think a price point of $19.99 is going to sell way more copies and overall make more money for them. they better hope their game is good I imagine a lot of people will be waiting for proper reviews. I just think 30 dollarinos is a bit excessive for that content.
>>563757923I prefer mommies, thanks for the "fanart" thobeit
>>563758573you have been brainwashed by the gamercunt minded. there's no reason why that game shouldn't cost 30 bux ASSUMING the art is not ai slopped. gamercunts are systematically trying to devalue games and devs are cuxing out to that, don't let them get to you either.
>>563758672tranny pedophile CONFIRMED
>>563758519nta but I think the story is that rats/mice will drown within 10 minutes if put in a tube of water but if the scientist intervenes and saves them once and puts them back they'll tread water for hours in hopes of being saved again. not sure how it's relevant here but it is an interesting study if not cruel.
>>563758519It was a Harvard study, they'd put rats in a glass of water and after 15min the rat would just sink to the bottom and attempt to drown themselves, but as soon as they sank to the bottom they'd lift them out and dry them. Then they'd put them back a second time, after learning that they would be rescued they continued paddling for 60h instead of 15min.
>>563758774why did they put a fence around the auschwitz pool?
>>563758827>the rat would just sink to the bottom and attempt to drown themselvesthat's the more interesting part though, why wouldn't they study that?

the gabencvnt situation, we need to talk about it
Sometimes I wonder if it's more useful to be in a good state of mind when making your game. I've been designing a game like a comfy survival game but instead it's just really creepy and weird and everything is made to fill you with existential dread but I never stopped to ask why. Do I hate these people or am I just tired of being alone in my head?

>>563759950What about it?
>>563760064>I've been designing a game like a comfy survival gameBy "designing" do you mean you don't even have a prototype? Did you at least create the project or is it still inside your head?

>>563760418But you're still maintaining that level of confidence, I hope? You're not hexing yourself with defeatism?

>>563760559Yeah, of course. I grow stronger each and every day. I did have a short lapse of weakness where I started job hunting again, but I didn't want to settle for less than a senior engineering role, and with the way the market is and the gamedev gap in my resume, I didn't get very far. This only renewed my conviction though.
>>563760689>>563760815how is this relevant to the discussion of videogame marketplace cuts?

I just wanna make progress and stop fucking around
>>563760874First time I heard this. Every time this topic has come up since new year the excuse for abandoning the thread was>too many schizosAnd if someone has been doxed here, he can surely be doxed in the discord too. It's even more likely, since I dunno anyone who has multiple disc accounts
>>563759863i dont know how fun that would be consistently and bots work with it. i was planning to do old battlefield style classes. maybe a trapper class that could lay claymores/tripwires/c4/mines. or maybe air drops that can be called in that contain stuff like that.
>>563761168it's more likely that you're just a disingenous shill that's trying to dilute the discussion by bringing up barely relevant pointswouldn't want the devs to ever contemplate the cut now would you?
>>563761326Contemplate it, find it unacceptable, sell the game on your own website. You won't ever sell it to me, though.
>contemplate the cut>okay, it's industry standard>but it doesn't get you anything>it's on the best platform>no>yes>steamie! zukjeet!
>>563756081Thanks! I'm always having fun playtesting the combat. >>563756254Open stance walk animations always look a bit jank even when the pros do it, but I'll try to improve it at some point.Also there's no fast walk, but that animation just makes it look a bit faster. There's a dash button though so not a lot of walking unless you want to just look at the animations.>>563756380That frame led to the old idle so it doesn't match, which emphasizes the smear in a bad way. Smears are good however.

I feel more and more depressed by the day
>>563762205Must suck to believe you weren't put here for a reason and it's all random
>>563762205>noo bad games can't become good nooo they must remain bad forever
>>563761818Yes I remember telling you faggots that Early Access got nerfed hard so it doesn't get any visibility nowadays and it will sell a lot more once they officially release it.It's the main reason behind half of AGDG's flops, they released their games as Early Access with no marketing budget to "test the waters" but that's not something that works anymore. You either commit to release or nothing.
why gabencunt hates friendslop devs?
>>563762249That's because you're sliding into the valley of despair. It just means you've finally spent enough time with gamedev to begin catching a tiny glimpse of its depths.

>>563762480the reasons for things happening are too complex to be reliably predicted.if you could predict the trend of any stock correctly at least 60% of the time, you could be a millionaire in 2 years and a billionaire in 10 years.

>>563762909>Indie devs need to take Jugaad pill already and start raping and plundering the industry until there is nothing left.what makes you think they aren't already doing that? or do you think all those simulator devs, vampire survivor clone devs, idle devs and friendslop devs are all making their dream projects?
>>563763450>he thinks that's what I wroteCase in point
>>563763583I disagree.There's 100% a "Right" way to program things, and whatever the hell it is, I'm not doing it. It's math, and math has zero bullshit tolerance.
>>563763339No I did this before dooming on my night shift blue collar job, it helped me get some perspective on what I really wanted to do with my life. When you work one month overtime and I make that much money in 2 days it does that, eventually the stonks got boring too.

>>563763718If you think math has "zero bullshit tolerance", then you still haven't gazed far into the depths of the world of math either. Your understanding of math if just the basic baby shit they teach kids in school and not any real-world practical math.

Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 700 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2026HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY

>>563765361>ran by an older white guyYeah this is 100% just an asset farm for cheap labor. Knowing R* they likely don't even see the actual game just the pieces they made. The white guy just whips those poor jeets around like slaves I bet.

>>563768560Niceu
>>563768560can we find some happy campers in this bitch
>>563767443Personally I say it does, because when your game is set to release from EA, it doesn't appear in the "upcoming new releases next month!" page which is what gave me a lot of wishlists and eyes on my project actually.I've seen people claim that "by the numbers, your game technically gets shown to more people if you do EA launch and then normal launch" but what those people fail to account for is "wishlist/purchase velocity". You might get slightly more views but they're spread out more, whereas with a single launch they're bundled together in a shorter timespan, so the algorithm boosts you harder.At the end of the day this might just be counting pennies though, because BfF still managed to sell well once it was released. Just have a good game, and don't do what some aggy devs did with releasing early access games with no plans to finish. Guns and Nun is a better project than Dungeon Watchers from that point of view.

>>563775019I think they developed Banquet for Fools way longer than they did Staglands
>>563775005what? i dont get it bro, why do you think thats a bad design

>>563774123Really says a lot about this shithole industry
added character selection screen to the game and several classesRogueClericFighterMage RangerFor now they all just have 1 ability
>>563776662>>563771660lol what a surprise, it's another "heckin no name indie studio of 4 people max who just hit it big" yeah "indie" i'm so tired of this and the people who will scream "aaa is in shambles" only for them to go drop $50 in microtransactions kek
>>563772824any plans for a nortubel 2?
ai is the great equalizer dont you see?
I'm scamming my way to the top. The chocolates will be mine this year.
>>563777221I like rogue the most so far
>>563777140Programming has a shitton of room for error. Theoretically, your entire game can be made out of just a giant list of statements within a single file. Additional layers of abstraction on top of that simply make the code more manageable, understandable, maintainable, and scalable.

Friendly reminder that one of the primary symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a complete lack of empathy, i.e. the inability to understand what other people want. Empathy is one of the most important traits for anyone who wants to succeed in any creative endeavor.
>>563778517You can't empathize with animals. You might think you can but you can't.

>>563776662I really like this picture, thanks for posting it.
>>563761818might be slightly off based on whether i selected the right areas on the chart but here are the numbers>Early Access>from 2024 to early 2026239 reviews>Full Release>from March 2026 to now:458 reviews>>563762549May as well rebrand an early access game and skip straight to full release. Useful in cases where my game might look like it's NGMI, it'll at least let me judge sentiment and then I come as a dev that really want's to make the game great beyond release, despite it really being a bare bones version.
>>563778517To some extent yes, but lately we get people who prioritize empathy over rationality and make the most retarded decisions known to history. People are equal... to the law, they are not actually equal themselves.
finally, my shitty game is looking like a game
>>563778095>>563778517>>563778747why is the jeetnig meltying? what happened this time? is it angry over the skg euro hearing?

>>563779729It does.
I am 100% glad my raylib training has now made me appreciate more godot engine and has turned me into a more productive godot dev.
>godot
>>563779729i dont want any of this except the chocolates desu
>>563779663I know, I bought some UI kit that looks pretty good and goes with the cards and wood, but by the time I had it picked and bought I had already used the default shit for everything and just left it. I'll call it a UI update when everything gets replaced with the things I want. Just a few more milestones until the mechanics aren't distracting me.
you have to be fucking retarded if you're still using godot. you can make your own engine using ai and it won't be shitty godot. STOP using fagdot NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>563779889>productive>made 0 thingsyeah, you're real productive
>>563779701>fake feedbackyou guys will make up anything to bend reality
>>563780089>i have no idea what I'm doing but daddy ai will do it all for mewe know and your game will be shit
>>563747190Likely the reality of the situation. Make's me think that it simply looks like a quick to make game while in reality the under the hood stuff is slow to develop. If it's gonna take me that long I'd rather go make something else I'm more interested in.>>563757678Ahh I remember early 2025, 2 games dropped, one of which was a sunk cost game I worked on for years. This new game needs to do well enough, like $75k-$125k profit, otherwise I'm probably quitting gamedev or maybe one last small game.>>563760559>>563760957Large gap in my resume too. I'm cooked bro.
>>563780352HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA NO
>>563780472>Large gap in my resumejust say you were doing onlyfans. they can't judge you
>>563777369there's a lotta indie devs that hang out with each other at coworking spaces and game conventions, anonyou gotta get out there, everyone's weirdly connected sometimes
I'M TRYING to make an appartment decorating and dress up game and my colliision isnt working!
my brain feel a bit rotted, i need some random 3d models of like spawn platforms, tech looking shit like plasma rifles, i can't really come up with any search terms to get free packs of it
>>563712849Face artstyle reminds me of some game I watched gameplay of long ago, Mush, some sort of slow moving multiplayer game. Never played it though.>>563738895Much later than usual, you sleep in? Cake looks delicious.>owe 5 full daysYou slacking off too? Barely any development these last 30 days myself.

NEVER share your ideas
>>563785341my ideas have gotten into like 4 famous agdg games i think about how my little seed grew into that dev's vineyard
>>563784543How did you do it so fast?
>>563785341Honestly we should find that anon
>>563785341Ideas are cheap.They literally don't matter if you can market your game properly.
>>563785341/agdg/ ideas:>What if we took game and made it worse in every way
Sometimes I feel bad for young men, I really do. My generation took everything from you and even women your age want nothing to do with you lol.I retired at 38, I suppose it's pretty hard for you to offer any kind of lifestyle as a "gamedev" living with your parents. Maybe you should give up entirely and just look for your own older Daddy ;)Anyhow, Unity or Godot for a 2D rpg hobby project?
>>563785341ideas that dont come to fruition probably have negative value
>>563758462I dunno, I myself got older and outgrew thinking a community that's 90% of the time trash, 10% of the time "kinda ok" is a good thing.I just come to these threads nowadays to watch monkeys throw shit at eachother honestly.
>>563785341original poster had all the years he could ever need to make OC out of it once he saw people liked the conceptyou were never going to do anything with your idea anywayshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t_OljBoGOI
>>563786113Oh, and I forgot about>touhou clone for a game jam>beyblade-inspired async pvp autobattlerIdk if I'd say that I'm fast. There are devs here much faster than me. I'm doing LD59 together with some friends tomorrow. The 72hr one can still be quite rough even with a team, but I know some devs here who can make decent submissions to the compo, which has a 48 hr deadline, must be solo, and you're not allowed reuse old assets.
>>563787373Yeah but how do you do it?I've always wanted to do game jams but it takes me forever
>>563787015that's how I feel about the entire internet
>>563787643Just practice. I failed to meet the deadline for my first handful of game jams too. Practice makes you better at scoping and building the game.
>>563787643you are talking to a LARPer anon
>>563758462nah it's malicious and cruel the reactions people get to their progress posts and especially game releases. The entire general is cheering on and hoping for failure whenever a game from here is released.
>>563787373That's just it. Friends.
>>563787015I like posting on 4chan, feels like you can actually say what you want.The discord has more yesdevs but i feel compelled ot be nicer than i want to be because i dont want shit coming back on me.
>>563788010I'm going to smoke some ribs tomorrow to take to my friend's house for our weekend-long game jam party. Very excited. :)
guys I just gotta say it...I seriously love this Hobby!

>>563785341You may as well people to never share their games, because they WILL get decompiled and sold on the playstation and google play store. The second you post something to the internet it becomes public domain and people can and will cash in on it. The modern internet is about who can rape, scam, grift, lie and cheat the hardest, and those people will triumph.
>>563789081Why did you link this?
>>563788483You have friends who are capable of doing things you cannot and vice versa.I have nobody. No wonder my project takes forever
>>563780564>when the HR girl asks for the onlyfans to support me>>563784543>I'm surprised you managed to connect my posts together.Lol, coincidence.>all those prototypesMore than me, I suck at prototyping. And then I get stuck with indecisiveness during the development of the game despite having a good idea of what I need to do.>>563785341Trvke, I'd be seething if I was the anon who made the backrooms pasta.
>>563788865DAMN that's a based ass nigga
I now want to keep my idea of making godot addons so I can automate an action rpg avatar, so I can have a playable player in 10 minutes with a few clicks.
I am in such a good place with my development. I outdid and made up for the past 2 years within the span of 1 month.Things are intensely good.
>>563787373i still can't understand how they can dev so fast. even if i cut corners i just cannot see myself making a game in 72 hours that has>main menu>save/load>music/sfx>rebindable keys and other settings>all the other code for gameplay>the actual gameplay itself and 15+ minutes worth at that>all the art
>>563789598Not really. We're all ECE/CS graduates. I can do all of the gamedev tasks, but they're all code mains with little to no skill in the art-adjacent ones. You have to be able to do all of it at some level. What you need is to get better at scoping. I couldn't make a character action game in a short time either, especially not with custom animations. For stuff like my 3D prototypes that included characters, I just used an off-the-shelf mannequin and the animation libraries that I've previously linked for you (mixamo and quaterius).
>>563790310so you finally have gameplay?
>>563790540a few more optimizations and then I'll start to implement things like collision and voxel deformation.
I've stolen 4 ideas today from this thread alone heheThanks, babes *yoink* ;)
>>563790767
>>563790497For a 48-72 hour game jam, I would exclude >save/load>rebindable keysSettings + pause menu would just be volume controls and maybe a fullscreen toggle.If I'm by myself, I just do asset packs or programmer art. If I have an art or music guy, I'd still prototype with asset packs and then tell them to replace those as they finish their stuff.
>>563774267fix a comma
Time to spent a month finishing my character creator tool, and using godot own tools to automate process to more quickly make my shit on it.chuds, BTFO.
does anyone remember that ancient agdg game where you roll a cube aroundI sometimes wonder how his release went
>>563791948BoukenKyubuthe developer died fighting in ukraine.
chuds BTFO.
>>563790535Anon the problem right now is enemy behavior. I'm struggling with making this an ironclad statemachine
she's playing pragmata now
>>563791064but some of the game jams games feel too polished, i cant do that in such a short time
>>563792273damn that's crazy
Anyone making a game like this?
>>563785341If you need my idea to be successful then you can have it
>>563793037I feel like you still don't understand what a state machine is. Your bug from yesterday is the exact kind of shit that couldn't happen if you knew. I recommended you used a behavior tree from day one. It's industry standard for a good reason.
>>563793246Yeah. It just comes from lots of practice. Every time I look at a game jam winner's itch page, they have at least 20+ games that all look decently polished.
elf toes
>didnt beat air riders dk bonanza or pokopia yet>pragmata is coming out today>i just dont have the time to do research and beat gamesdo you guys struggle with this problem too?
how does playtesting work?What's stopping someone from decompiling my game and releasing it first? like...they just make it better and faster before i can release my iteration. seems like a pain to deal with it legally.and before you say no one will steal my shitty idea : 1. kill yourself and 2. just play with the hypothetical
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv_bFVdExhw
You are not doing any "research" when you play AAA games. Play smaller games. Make smaller games.
Gamers don't actually know what they want. You need to control the options.
>>563794726I don't bother beating games. lately I just play my game and test other indie devs projects on occasion
>>563794901>they just make it better and faster before i canSkill issue.
>>563795023i think this is wrong and you can tell which devs dont play games at all
>>563794901>What's stopping someone from decompiling my game and releasing it first?nothing. it happens. some people are real assholes. with AI-reskinning I expect it to happen more often, but I haven't heard about that happening yet.
>>563794135https://pastebin.com/WW9fKkmeThis isn't a state machine?
I had a cute zoomette show heavy interest in me in the checkout lane, it was nice. No I didn't ask for her number, how could you tell?I need to make it from gamedev bros! I don't think all you guys understand but getting rich off my game/games would give me so much confidence. This would feel nice and it'd make a good conversation topic.
>>563795859oh nobody told you?too much money gives girls the ick
>You have lovely long eyelashes. what do you do for work?>*NEET Panic*
>>563795859>>563764293
Welp. That works now.I can take Friday off, yippee!
>>563795859
>>563795736On the surface, it's a hierarchical state machine, but when you add stupid little hidden states like `isAttacking` and `inCombo` and coroutines like attackRoutine, you lose all the predictability and stability that you want out of a state machine. Those should all be their own states. In your switch block starting at line 147, you should be setting every one of those variables you're setting to something, even if you think it's irrelevant. That's a part of maintaining predictability. Instead of writing this all out in your own hacky code, why not use a premade system? Have you tried this? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.behavior@1.0/manual/index.html
>>563795137yeah, i know.>>563795404yeah, thats what i mean. i feel like there is no guardrail. only that its "illegal" kek. it just takes 1 to fuck up what couldve been a nice clean launch.im schizoposting, the chances are low and it wouldnt happen to me. but it makes me uneaasy about letting people playtest my dream game. other games i make i literally dngaf
