>>563797298very nice !!
proggy anchor
>>563797530i'm making a dress up game i started yesterday and i'm an enginedev so i did a lot just recycling from old repos tho
https://thev3expo.com/Time is running out! You have just over a month to get your trailer into this year's /v/3!
>>563797747https://github.com/SeraphYuki/ragdolls-like-me/tree/mainsource code
>keep game secret>secretly make steam page>outsourced steam page reviewer clones and releases your game before you releasethis is definitely going to happen to me
>>563797902What are you paying me?
>>563798172The same amount that any other expo pays participants. Oh wait that doesn't happen.
>>563797139If I used a pre-made system what would be the point of making a game?But I will take that advice
>>563798582is this image an /agdg/ inside joke or did it go viral online? kind of hilarious how much of a bottomfeeder they look like kek
>>563799346You're already using Unity, which is composed of thousands of premade systems.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkHCO8f2TWs
>>563798582my game could bring eyes to your little expo
>>563799550It's a forced strawman/weakman.
>>563799760Fair, but I'd still like to do it this way because it gives me greater freedom with what I'm able to do.I do understand your idea of things being vaguely declared half-states though, which is kinda what I've been trying to prune out. Ambiguity and all that shit that completely breaks a system.
>>563800027You don't want freedom. You want constraints because constraints are what leads to stability and predictability.
I wish i was more like Cris.I wish i could look at my garbage and be happy no matter how bad it is and see beauty in the scribbles.But i dont.I hate everything i make.Its all awful.And im awful.Im trash at everything i do.I will never make anything good.I am destined to be a worthless waste of air for the rest of my life.
>>563800196You know what I mean.Oh well. Now I feel sad again!
>>563800412Unironic skill issue. The vision is both a blessing and a curse.
>>563800542What if your ability to evaluate art is high but your skill is low as shit?I know what a good drawing looks like, but I cannot make one
>>563800961>skill is low as shitLike I said: skill issue. The only solution to a skill issue is to git gud.
>>563800961it's for evaluating your own work. doesn't apply to seeing others(much). you'll see improvement, but still know you have a long way to go.
>>563801220Yeah but what if you can't get good no matter how hard you try and it seems that your only remotely passable work comes from getting a lucky stroke among several billion incorrect ones
>>563801280Many such cases. Maybe you're just not allowed.
>>563801371I can buy that honestly.My wrists are utterly awful
>>563801426And I mean that. I literally broke my wrist before and I can't draw anymore.
>>563801589nigga the conceptartist for rumble roses drew it all with his mouth.
>>563801280I just pay people to learn but it has cost me well over 1k in lessons and the most valuable part of the lessons is that im at least being consistent in art practice. The "breakthroughs" are rare but they shoot your skill up like crazy
>>563801426>>563801589
>>563801589heavens no! not your jack arm!
my games themed after the genre of music like zero 7 and bonobo how do i act like that more so i can get inspired more
>>563800412You need to realize is ok to be bad, is not a crime.It's ok to suck at a hobby when you're new.Just keep some of your shit around to see how much you have improved.my advice is to remake your previous art or song multiple times to compare your new skill to your previous skill.You may think you will never improve, but if you study and practice, you will improve.And is a great feeling to realize 3-5 years later, wow, I can do shit much much better than what I did before.And that's the moment when the hard work really pays off.It's like a gym, you wont become huge in a few weeks, is a thing that takes years.
>>563802112find their inspirations
>>563802428You are not new, and you have not improved.
>>563802428it's been a year and you have not topped that frog you painted. hop to it
>>563802524ok, retard.lmao.
>>563802621>ok, retard.>lmao.
>>563797717learning raymarching to try and make clouds for nebulae and other fun things, kinda looks like shit though
Sincerity and passion have no advantage in Indie game development. Because if you are charismatic enough, tenacious enough, and powerful enough, slop will overcome soul.
>>563803045Sincerity and passion create the drive and discipline you need to git gud. You keep confusing your delusional, selfish desires for sincerity and passion.
>>563802524unc youre spamming this thread more than cris with your dogwater advice, where is your game?
>>563799903what is? >>563803045theyre not mutually exclusive.you can be sincere and passionate about creating slop. if youre forcing to create slop through tenacity and pure willpower, you leave out the fact that games are a mixture of art and design. the lack of soul will only hurt you.
>>563797717Showing this prog again because my next tasks are optimizations and I genuinely like the results of the art pass.
>>563804452i see the vision
>>563804754Thank you
Fuck it, I'm gonna make a new weapon right now.
>>563804452I like the white skybox actually.Feels mysterious. Add some fog and we’ve got an atmospheric game
>>563805089Yep, it is white for lore reasons actually.
>>563805325Well I don't really care for the reason.It looks cool anyways
>>563805374Thank you
>>563804452
>>563805454...What kinda game is it?
>>563805701It is sort of like 3D Dwarf Fortress but with way more to it.
>>563805765and it is in my custom engine in C. Using Vulkan but plan to add more rendering backends to support more platforms such as Apple and Nintendo Switch.
>>563805701
>>563805765Nuts, me like
>>563806091Cheers mate, it'll be a grand time.
Now I feels sad
>>563806407Why?
>>563806447IDK, I just seem to go through these highs and lows
Just realized my apartment has been giving me mold poisoning for the last 4 months and now I'm moving to moms attic
>>563807664Won't that do the same thing?
>>563807721I hope not
>>563807664take care of yourself sis!
okay, time to make some proggyhttps://youtu.be/ddkxOxlcV0Q
>>563797465Capcom picked out every relevant streamer so that (You) can send a Steam key. Say thank you!

>friend wants to make games together>hasn't played enough games to understand rpg mechanics>tell him play smt 3>comes back hours later>just complains about the encounter rate and says he got lost
Cris is growing more powerful!
>>563810182Let me guess: that game is older than him.
>>563810569correct
is getting addicted to your own game a reliable sign that it's GMI?
I really REALLY wanna make a tactics game
>>563811136Yes
>>563810182based friend
>>563811195yay ! >>563811168>pic rel
>>563804985If you're Kannadev, heavy ballista. NOW
>>563797717I posted at like 1am yesterday, but now I have audio with this too!
>>563812427Nice
Reminder that I like whatever you're doing as long as it genuinely matters to you
>>563812682except for nortubel i put him under cris
>>563813115Who IS that?
>>563812283I feel like I already have too many bow-adjacent weapons. I need to spice up the weapon pool by having some other fantasy weapons.
>>563814167I like it.But if you're gonna do other upgrades, maybe give her like a gauntlet or something.Maybe implement a melee weapon?
>>563814364Gauntlet will function like a shotgun. I don't really plan on doing melee weapons, only ranged.
I feel like I'm just going to burn myself out with every day that passes. Working on my game is one of the only things keeping me going at this point...
>>563797465>sudden urge to make a game just for the fun of it after years of nodevving>download gdevelop because it's fun and easy>start making a game using placeholders for everything because it's more fun than making 12 frames for 8 directions + everything else>have a problem and for the fun of it, tell my brother to see if he has any suggestions>"you should be using unity anyway, it's an industry standard, and it'd be more useful in the long run">fun drained>stop making the game after a 30 minute discussion with no pauses on why I should stop making my game on gdeveloptoday was.. mostly fun
>>563810537Imagine he worked out, looked like this, and then started dating Tomo!? What game would they make?>>563807664Mold poisoning? What's that sis? Feel better sis! Have you packed up all your stuff? Make sure your game is nice and safe, don't wanna lose it during the move.
>>563814440https://youtu.be/nmOYbEkFevQ?t=20You know, people hate you because "Pedoshit." Which I can honestly kinda buy, but hey.You're one of the only people here who is actually making something.Also when I said gauntlet I meant more "Make her upgrades visualized."Like speed upgrades being a new anklet
I want to make a game with elves.
how the fuck do you stop AI aimbots?is online gaming just going to be dead soon?
>>563816017make a game where aiming isn't a barrier to entry
>>563816146that's not a solution
>>563815692>Also when I said gauntlet I meant more "Make her upgrades visualized.">Like speed upgrades being a new ankletOh you mean like Risk of Rain, I will tjink about it. I'm planning on having different outfits so it might be tricky.
>>563816017Yes. Not only for FPSes.When something like NVidia NitroGen becomes accessible competitive online gaming is over.Then they will ""solve"" it via KYC and whitelists and hell knows what but we all know how that is going to end.
>>563816146Creb
>>563816595That's fair.So really, what is our protagonist's story?
>>563815272so uh... are you moving to unity or not?
>>563797465secret sideproject fake progress
>>563814440>I don't really plan on doing melee weaponsbad choice for a roguelike
>>563817384hehe the little yellow doods in the top right are funny
>>563816862Eh, the story still needs some work. I will share it later in the future.
>>563812462Thanks man
>>563817696
>>563818104I kinda agree and I LIKE the way your game looks.Post Void for example. That's an FPS and it STILL has a melee optionIf I were you? I'd use a spear that, when you attack, gives you a dash that can hit multiple enemies at once and stop them in their tracks, like you're skewering them
Describe your game, or at least your endgoal game, as poorly as possible.The smelliest man in the world takes on an evil tree while being mocked by a 60 year old zombified 10 year old
>>563818476move the mouse to rotate your headuse a few letters of the alphabet to manipulate the position of your bodycombine these techniques to go back in time and die in-place of jesus
>>563818403Meh, I will add a pseudo melee weapon later.
>>563818476Load of binary crap that should have been finished a year ago.
I found bugs in my clothes its so over
Gamedev is the brownest thing ever you could do
>>563820156Sure thing Poopjeet.
>Only 379 lines of code to open a window and clear the screen greyVulkan bros we are SO back
wasted the entire day award
>>563816017I have this radical idea, what if we moved away from random matchmaking with strangers to hosting servers ourselves and moving back to lobbies playing for fun with people we want to play with?
>>563820156Gamedev used to be a white man's endeavor before the get rich jeets came along
>>563821953Then I can't sell battle passes
>>563822152That is true, I guess we'll have to tank the game's performance by inserting a kernel level anti-cheat and hope someone doesn't vibecode a worm that crawls inside it and brick their PCs or steal their info
>>563822330glad you understand
Why aren't there any naruto-likes
This time next week, Marnix is either a millionaire or jumping off a bridge
>>563823418idle games can't fail. he's already picking out a new apartment in tokyo
>>563823418im rooting for him. i cant believe a normie with a wife is better than you guys at this.
>>563823418MMO98 fropped husbant…now we are Homeress…
DevBross.. I'm not gonna make it to the next fest application deadline. There's just too much to do and I lost yesterday to RL shit.
>>563815813Same...
>>563765567same
>>563797902yo betz can your wife loan me some cash too? ill pay her back in black semen
>>563816017>AI aimbots>let me think>oh he moved let me reconsider>let me think>oh he moved let me reconsider>let me think>oh he moved let me reconsider
>>563823418What about the third option, "decent profits that allow him to recoup his time invested and spend another 2 years making games, but not life changing amount of money"?
>>563824192Same. It's unreal how fast time passes. Feels like just yesterday was February. A bit before that I was alone on Christmas just working on my game. And not long from that was April of last year, with me swearing I only need 6 more months to finish my game.
