>>563914992I HAVE TO write it over because I first did it with rigidbodies and it didn't work for my gameplay or it would have been too much hassle to manage the physics all the time. Then I remade it with character controller and that works a lot better but character controller component in unity is based on capsule colliders and my gameplay kinda needs a box collider on the characters so that's fucked. I need to rewrite it AGAIN for a fully custom collision system so I can use box colliders without rigidbody physics fucking up the gameplay. I kinda just want to work on other mechanics rather than doing this again but I really should just bite down and do it.
Is it better to hold a barista/restaurant job or a cognitive job like a SWE ? while making my game after work?
Blogpost follows, ignore.Yesterday an anon posted a pic of Pepe with french toast on his head, so I wanted to eat french toast so I made it for the first time ever. It turned out okay (delicious actually, but I have low standards for deliciousness), if a bit burnt and I didn't have the right kind of stale bread.A couple of days ago I started writing down things a lot more liberally on my to-do list. I realized I was avoiding facing really how much work needs to be done on my game, and the list grew by about 2x in one day. It was demoralizing at first, but then I started feeling better about it. The work went from some murky lovecraftian horror lurking in the future to a (really long) list of chores, each about as intimidating as a clogged shitter is to a plumber. No challenges except time management. Speaking of, 138 days left, I owe 20 hours of work to my game. Today I'll be implementing dynamic mesh attachments and fixing bugs.

Literally feels like im throwing away time.I dont even care for tech anyway besides the money, but I just don't cut it. I just dont feel like doing it...but then i wasted 4 years of school and am going to miss the tiny window that i have to get a job with the "new grad" status. it feels like a waste to do it, and it also feels like a waste not to do it.i just wanna make a game.
Thanks for the 30%, suckers.

>>563935701this
kill me now
>>563936365this is not development
My heart keep telling me to quit my job and develop a game.YOLO and chase for a goal in life or some shit like that.My mind keep telling me don't do anything stupid like that because it's high risk & very low chance of success.Developing after work is impossible either, because I lack the motivation after work, and feel like I need to recover from burning out.
>>563936840if you've never shipped a game then it would be insane to quit your job to try to do so
i havent deved in 2 whole days because pragmata ate all my timeits just so fucking peak bros its changing my current game by just association on a side note its fucking over for /v/ this game is clearly goty and v is filled with hot crapola imagine crapcum dropping a perfect 10/10 and people have the nerve to be this retarded. its over for the average gamer. this is who we make games for..
>>563936840When I hear people online debating whether or not they should quit their job, I never hear anyone mention skill or experience.For some reason in this field everyone equates a beginner that is not proficient at anything and needs to look up tutorials for everything, and an experienced developer that worked in the industry and released games.All the stories you hear online of people quitting their jobs is from absolute beginners stuck in the learning phase with nothing to show for it, no game.So which one are you? Where's your game?>Developing after work is impossible either, because I lack the motivation after work, and feel like I need to recover from burning out.This is massive cope. Show me your Steam last 2 week activity nigger. You probably have at least 30 hours that could have been spent on your game.And here's the TRVKE: if you don't enjoy working on your game in your spare time like you enjoy playing videogames, quitting your job isn't gonna magically boost your productivity.TL;DR: Don't be a fucking retard
>>563936804your reply isn't development
>>563901834>>563902186Thank you, frens.
>>563939204Stop wasting your breath on people like that. They will think they are unique, special and somehow will do great in a thing they have no experience doing. They get it in their head that this is what they should do and rarely will listen anyone who tells them otherwise. At least we will potentially see another flop story on reddit. Those are always funny to read.
I really really like enginedev, and working slowly towards a constantly changing idea.Also, I lost my discord account for the inner circle so if anyone could pls re invite me that would be sick.This site is awesome for creating PBR textures -https://unrealmatter.net/pbrhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0qmkQGqpM8
Why would you do this?
>>563940345got brainwashed by gamercunts into thinking that you need to step up and be a better dev and admit everything
>>563940345If you cannot make your players believe your ai art is actually your art then you deserve all the consequences of using it.It's like the chunnin exam in naruto, the trick is to cheat without getting caught.
>>563940345who else /hiding/ everything
>>563940091That is an interesting tool. The normal map seems to work pretty well based on a quick test.
>>563937508>>563939204Honestly, how hard is it for you guys to understand that I know all that, hence why my mind is telling me that it's a retarded thing to do?
>>563941360bitch you coulda made a box move in unity by time you wrote these keep your job and make game you silly
Is there a board here where i can talk about javIs there actually a jav with vanilla plot
>>563940889He got away with it with his second game. Changed studio name to escape the bad rep. Wanderbots himself praised it for not using AI art lmao. I bet all the dev did was mention that he didn't use AI to make this game in his message to him. What he did was downscale the images, reduce the palette and slap some dithering on them.
>>563940345I'm sure anti-AI troons will read that, understand his circumstances and then proceed to buy his game.
>>563941640gamedev??
>>563941773The game has 16 reviews so it didn't exactly work out like that. To be fair it is some pretty blatantly obvious AI art.
>>563941640agdg fell off... back in my day the first reply would be an encyclopedic list of every gay jav starring billy herrington and leatherman
>>563941479And how hard is it for you guys to understand that I'm too mentally exhausted from the job to work on my game?I spend maybe only a few hours to work on the game every weekend, and progress is hardly made.
>>563942046Do you have enough savings to live comfortably the next 10 years without working? Most devs don't even make it in their first 10 years.
>>563941360>>563942046>I'm too mentally exhausted from the job to work on my gameThen gamedev is not for you, try the crypto gambling casino.
>>563942046how hard is it for you to understand that we all have obligations and jobs you retardstart optimizing your time or fall behind.
>>563942231Nope, of course not.Otherwise, I wouldn't be living in this contradiction hell where my heart is being illogical and trying to push me into destruction.>>563942361>>563942370Yeah, fuck me for wanting to vent right?How about fuck you?
>>563942805as a boy you cry as a man you know crying will do nothingall it takes is like 15 mins every 2-3 days to make game
>>563943296>all it takes is like 15 mins every 2-3 days to make gameDelusional retard
>>563931120>>563931802I swear i see this exact posts months ago
>>563939204Nta but i wish i can go back to video games. The last 2 years i mostly use my time to scroll and goon.Cant get a job either. 400 applications. 20 tests 6 interviews. My cv looks like absolute shit
So people can tell you jack off and watch porn a lot right
Does this to you
walking to starbucks and around at 4am in the sluttiest dress ever feel like a baddie doesnt help you dev though.
ok, I made the big mistake of using AI to vibe code.It's now a mess because every time I start a new conversation, it doesn't have previous memory, and is trying to things differently.
>>563936840Stop wasting your time thinking about and quit already.
>>563943735>i mostly use my time to scroll and goonDo people really do multi-hour long gooning session? I never understood how porn could be such a huge time sink for people, like nigga, just jerk it and go back to work it's not difficult
>>563941640For me? It's Mom NTR
>>563944237>jerk it and go back to workI feel extra tired after jerking.Call it placebo, but nofap gives me more concentrations and stamina.
>>563936840Never listen to your "heart". It exists to get you to try to put your dick in that girl you encounter in the savanna. It doesn't know anything about the job market or selling games.>Developing after work is impossibleWhat I'd advise is to reconsider what you consider "impossible". It's very hard, but it can be made easier. You could work really hard on weekends or you could work an hour or two every day BEFORE work (inb4 waking up at X o'clock is impossible).Should you quit your job to make a game?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWC9WswFdRo>>563939204>When I hear people online debating whether or not they should quit their job, I never hear anyone mention skill or experience.Because skills and experience are irrelevant for success. Not merely unimportant but completely irrelevant (once you clear a very low bar, like tutorial-level skills). Your first game is as likely to be successful as your second or third or twenty third game.We're in the entertainment business. Saying skills matter is like saying Justin Bieber at 16 was one of the most skillful musicians in the world.
>>563936840I'm the retard version of you that quit their job. It's not worth it. You can do both. If you can't do both, you're not going to work hard enough on the game to justify being unemployed. Trust me. (unless you've done this in the past, and trust yourself to be your own boss, but youre on /agdg/ so the chance of u being a nodev is up thrice fold)Why not get a different job?ALSO, are you devving a game rn? if you arent actively developing a game, dont quit your job for an idea.Most game ideas ARE GOOD, but impossible to execute. it's a trap, and youll feel like a retard. Great Games are a mixture of high appeal, high cohesion, and SIMPLICITY! it's a very small overlap if this were a venn diagram.
I got a fair bit done today.please criticize it
>>563943379>hes never had days where he made progress in less than 5 mins laugh at this poor sap...
>>563944534>Because skills and experience are irrelevant for success. Not merely unimportant but completely irrelevant (once you clear a very low bar, like tutorial-level skills). Your first game is as likely to be successful as your second or third or twenty third game.>We're in the entertainment business. Saying skills matter is like saying Justin Bieber at 16 was one of the most skillful musicians in the world.holy based. I've actually never heard this opinion before, but youre right.But i believe the bar is higher. I really do believe games have to clear a bar of quality, or else you will instantly flop. Which bars depend on the genre you're in. But the bars are very easy to see.ALSO, does anyone not believe in the "indie renaissance" that redditors speak of?I only think the game industry is going to get flooded with perfectly scoped slop that will only hurt everyone involved. t. dreamdev
>>563944785btw first reply to suggest a map gets to pick the new game-ripped map I will use for my next/new test level.https://models.spriters-resource.com/its gotta be on here tho
>>563944785what are you making? i dont know what the game is about
>>563945047i would like it to be Total War (Map)Conker's Bad Fur Day
>>563943605i dont doubt that its a common situation these days. I suddenly became very scared of my own mortality, that I suddenly only want to create my game, and nothing else. I'll get by with dead end jobs because there's nothing else I want to do in this world. Of course, this could all change and I'll suffer for it, but that's a situation most people find themselves in their whole lives.
>>563945092I'm not really making anything yet just a game engine for myself for fun.My ideas keep changing, but I am pretty set on a WASD game with the players choice of third or first person - and I kinda like my birdmen characters so they will probably be in whatever I make too.Working on some multiplayer stuff recently.
>>5639450472fort
>>563945254i figured you were making some type of friendslop engine
>>563945254reminds me of gary's mod then. I can't really critique your game other than visuals if there is no game yet. Looks cute. The graphics are nice, woudl work in many different genres, wouldnt work for others. Keep devving bro its nice progress.
>>563944534I don't want to listen my heart, but I can't stop it from shouting.It's making me suffer.I just want people here to wake me up and convince my heart to change its retarded mind.>>563944716Why not get a different job?I'm trying, but I don't think I can find any because the job market is completely shit right now, especially with AI replacing people, and companies firing left & right.>are you devving a game rn? Yes, even though I'm at 60% but it's shit and at best will only sell 1000 copies because it's a small game.
>>563944968>games have to clear a bar of quality, or else you will instantly flop
does level design has to make sense? my game has hub that goes into different areas that all has Wildy different biomes but it makes absolutely no sense to go from lava to snow in like a minute walk
>>563945254Does this creature actually have sex?There really is a woman that lets this ghastly personification of Microsoft Excel penetrate her willingly?This is who I imagine they would hire to be on the packaging of white plain bread if they ever wanted to have a face on it.
>>563945254i used to use models-resource for enginedev placeholders but it makes you not fit in with the scene well
>>563945468yes level design has to make senseno the biomes near to each other dont need to make sense just come up with an asspull lore reason
>>563945335I don't think I will be able to, because I am using my own netcode solution, so far it requires people to know how to do port-forwarding on their routers, so 99% of gaymers wont know how to do that.>>563945201nice choice, but it feels kinda the wrong scale for what I'd like to work with.>>563945292sorry, maybe next time.
>>563945398steam is filled with shit like this and most of the indie top sellers are like this, and yet gamercattle praise gabencunt for "saving indie games".how do they even reconcile these two things in they heads?
>>563946121combine total war and 2fort into total 2fort
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwu7pSLyMBgI love aggy because people here care about their art, they dont care about being serious, they make toys, they are free
>>563945370try to see the reality of the situation. If it's what you truly WANT, why not quit your job haha? Things take time. try to shape your life in increments, and go for the life you dream of. You'll realize quitting wont do that. Changing your job might.>>563945398...wha...what the fuck? how?
>>563946389I've seen people say indie games didn't exist before steam. Like just lol.
>>563946824they didnt, steam invented indie games
>>563936804>this is not development
>>563946506>alan wattslol babby's first iMKultra'd myself because i cant handle weed episode
>>563946658the average steamie is a social media zombie. all you really need to do for success on steam is go viral on social media, and from there it will continue snowballing upwards.
>>563944534>Because skills and experience are irrelevant for success. Not merely unimportant but completely irrelevant (once you clear a very low bar, like tutorial-level skills). Your first game is as likely to be successful as your second or third or twenty third game.>We're in the entertainment business. Saying skills matter is like saying Justin Bieber at 16 was one of the most skillful musicians in the world.This is massive beginner cope. Skill directly translates into game quality in this field, from programming, game feel, design, art, sound.. everything. Skill also directly translates into speed. Speed means more iterations, more features, more polish. Even if a beginner was able to achieve the same level of quality (big if), if it would take 10x the time to do so, then I would argue that's a lack of skill.The Justin Bieber comparison is stupid because he got famous for being good looking and a personality, HE is the product. Doesn't work in gamedev, your game is your product.

>>563952854fygoon never lears
>>563947006Dev speed is definitely a skill. Some people can whip up progress at insane speeds. A newbie would be unlikely to be able to do that unless it's the sort of beginner's passion where you keep doing it because it's new and you spend too many hours on it per day and even then the quality of his work wouldn't match up.>>563949320You can be great at one skill and terrible at another. Making games that appeal to people is a skill just like any other.
>>563952364It generated a handoff document, and I even asked it to create a prompt.But it still manage to screw things up for me.Now I'm in a mess, no idea how to fix this because I was just copy pasting codes, not knowing what is going on.

>>563953710>>563945939the thing is the game is set in like 5% of the world so it's not like the player is traveling all over the world, it simply makes no sense but i want to do it because i like variety and i want to do gameplay things with the environment
>>563953082somehow I got a lot of indie pc games as a kid. idk where they came from I should ask my dad. excelsior was a great ultima clone
>>563951719I thought you were making a fantasy game what's this modern architecture doing there?
>>563945468It depends on what you’re doing
>>563860040definitely, but once your game reaches a high quality baseline, you can easily completely derail your project or waste years of dev time obsessing over unproductive complaints from game critics who might look at an RPG you're making and say "this game will fail because i wish it was a visual novel, add more dialogue, rework the combat system, remove the upgrades, change the art style, this shit is ass"it's good to get genuine feedback that will help fix holes in your game's design that you failed to identify, but bending the knee to criticism from people who don't even enjoy the type of game you're making is the worst thing you can do, alongside being scared of finishing your game because you don't want to see negative reviews from mentally ill freaks who wish every game on steam was as complex as dwarf fortresspointless ramble, obvious advice on my behalf, but this is something i think indie devs can suffer from>what about the negative reviews?? they'll drive away sales...don't worry about that, just make sure it's designed for your target audience, even a perfect game would suffer complaints
>>563954016they often got shared around copied from disk to disk who knows how many times until they reached your dadonce burning cds was possible my friend's dad would always keep their pc room stocked with blank cds and my friend would often burn us copies of all the games
>>563954351yeah it was def a stack of floppies(the flimsy kind)
>>563954348True, but you still want it to function
Wow now I feel like shit
Thinking about a side project. Reviving an old project and cutting down it's features so I can work on it on the side when I get burnt out by the main project. Good or bad plan?
>>563955254don't do it anon side projects are a curse
>>563955254depends on your goals. working on another game to prevent burnout is cool. I dropped my mega project for a side project with 1 goal, release it on steam after 4 months. working out really well so far(2 months in already complete so now I'm just polishing it and making art).
>>563944716So how do i get a job without wanting to kill myself everyday?
>>563954706fully agree
I dunno how wagies do it
>>563955254you can retake older ideas when you have become better.I've been keeping some side projects for years in my mind, and tried them multiple times, because my skills improve.Eventually you become so skilled that you can sucessfully make them.It's a lot like giving up on lifting a car for a few years until you can lift 500 pounds easily later in the gym.Some projects naturally require skills and talent you don't currently have, so is ok to left them rest for a couple years.
>>563955254Idk
How did I model that guy?

>>563953415>You can be great at one skill and terrible at another. Making games that appeal to people is a skill just like any other.So why isn't every developer's next game more successful than the last? Do their skills get worse? Did for example Cuffbust dev regress in skills?

>>563955384I'm technically in that curse with all the canceled projects over the years.>>563955504Do want to slim down the old project so that it's all easily doable with less work. Currently rethinking the goal for it.>>563956268Skill does play a big part in it, but sometimes the mental doesn't keep up with the game ambition.
>>563957313So it's not all skills and experience?
>>563957149Lol everyone at work only cares about trying to get rid of each other
>>563957173it is though newbie faggot
>>563957376If you can't deadlift 150 kg, would you blame your brain or body or just accept the fact you need more time to develop the skill?
>>563957149Are you implying that once my brain develops, I'll realize games are completely pointless and developing them will feel like a complete waste of my limited time on this earth?Or are you implying that I'll find that gamedev is an avenue to develop the world around us?
I feel so utterly depressed
>>563957384burnout is a skill issue, so yes>>563957750games are psyop machines, they're more impactful for a developed society than anything else you could imagine
>>563957498>xhe doesnt knowLMAO, i guess there is no "knowyourmeme" article for you to get spoonfed, this is a litmus test for OG /agdg/
>>563957631It's both a body and mind thing. If you're trying to lift out of your range that's call ego lifting. All about scope.
>>563958073yes, but you gotta have ambitions, but be realistic in the sense that getting those amazing ideas takes years of practice to develop the skills to make them.

I'm just gonna say it.I don't have enough free time to dev. I can't do this, guys.>7 hours/day for school study>4 hours/day for part-time work to pay bills >1-2 hours of daily chores/hygiene stuff etc. Coupled with time sinks in driving to and from places, and I'm barely left with 2-3 hours in a day for *anything else*, not just dev.

>>563959001why are you arguing with the town's idiot
>>563959001and? you should already know that one of their artists started posting here when the game was about to be released as a marketing push (back then /agdg/ was huge and the market was different)never took feedback from the thread, never playtested the game here, never posted again after release meanwhile they kept posting in /v/, not /agdg/

if my game makes me $3 i'd consider it a success
>>563957187They aren't doing the things that develop that skill. Honestly it's a hard one. There's definitely devs who are consistently good at it and others who sometimes hit the mark but other times miss it wildly. It's like a mix of making the right game at the right time but also being able to anticipate trend developments. Or just making games that are always welcome, there's those as well. Like if you make a game that's not trendy but has appeal in any year then it will sell. Maybe it could have sold better at a better time but it still sold. >Did for example Cuffbust dev regress in skills?Yes I'd say he did. He thought he knew it all and got too cocky. He overanalyzed the zoomie friendslop game tropes and made a shit game with them thinking his high wishlists were gonna carry it through.

>>563960207>They aren't doing the things that develop that skill.But are their skills getting worse? Or does everybody need to keep increasing their skills all the time? And if it's the latter, how can beginners ever catch up?
>>563962841It's getting harder and harder for beginners to catch up in any industry. There is no value in entry level anymore.
>>563962841Skills do get rusty if you don't use them. After a point I think it's more maintaining them than increasing them. Beginners need to work hard to catch up but you don't need to be as good as someone else to make a good game. There's a lot of variety on what can be a good game.

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

Not quitting practicing a skill is definitely a skill in itself because i have this tendency to completely abandon something that im not immediately good at after 30 days or seeing results like getting paid or having a job and the consequences is fucking dire. I get back to square 0 multiple time in a single year because i hold on to nothing. If i actually just keep grasping it gently and stick with my routine i could probably get opportunities maybe as late as the next 3-12 months, but i didnt.
honestly it's really fascinating talking to steamies. it doesn't matter what problems with valve you bring up, even if it's something that directly affects consumers, they somehow handwave it all.like, is there even a SINGLE thing that valve can do that could potentially turn steamies away from them? their devotion to this company is scarily cult-like.
>>563974164same difference, /agdg/ is irrelevant now but back then it was rather big, that 3 letters flash website to sell flash games, tigsource, ludumdare, /agdg/ it's all i remember browsing for gamedev back when 200 games a year paid for gabencunt's steaks
>>563974693Steam is like the government and taxes. No one likes to pay taxes, but you either pay the police or you sit on your porch 24/7 defending your house from roving rape gangs
>>563974693no, it's literally a cult like godot, nintendo, sony, apple, etc read about human psychology and stop wasting your time
>>563966328>I understand now.>The problem isn't>The problem isI fucking hate this pattern of response. It pretends to understand but it doesn't understand anything. It can't think. Stop this shit already and keep performing the task of a fancy google bot like you're supposed to.
>>563975210>like godot, nintendo, sony, appleexcept a lot of people do actually turn on these companies, literal psychotic cult devotion to these, while real, is not nearly as prevalent as valve devotion.a LOT of people admit of the bad things that both sony and apple do, for example. but good luck trying to make a steamie admit that valve has ever done anything bad. it's on a completely different level.

>>563974693Its really bizarre because I loved valve for their GAMES but they haven't made any games I like in over 15 years. Like at least Nintendo fags are still getting games.Its so weird to hear people who are younger than Half Life 2 worship them for steam. Like why would I love a company for running a store full of games they didn't make and had no part in making? That's mega retarded. Might as well worship amazon.

>>563975783most people complaining about this are just children/teenagers who grew up with fortnite and they just expect every game to be updated forever. Their opinions don't really matter. They'll learn eventually.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtbEy1_XjVQGamedev music
>>563977585>They'll learn eventually.Will they? Because most devs just cuck out to the gamercattle instead of standing up for themselves. Which only further reinforces such beliefs.We've already been through this with game pricing, you can't price your game above $10 even if it's a full-on 3D RPG with hundreds of hours worth of content because Valve systematically taught gamercattle to expect low prices through sales and regional pricing, and gamedevs did not object to any of that in any way.
>>563978101yeah dude the 100 teenagers out there complaining are going to ruin the gaming industry and will never learn. hiding this reply because you're a fucking retard making shit up to push your agenda. cry more faggot I won't be seeing it.

>>563960769You haven't worked a day in your life
I genuinely believe Steam is no longer an option for gamedevs that respect themselves too much to be subject to various humiliation rituals. Its either forge your own path, or wait for the industry to collapse under its own weight. I know that I am right because this sentiment is not at all limited to just video games. These are some truly fucked times and the pigs who refuse to look up from their troughs are the only thing still holding it together.
>>563981345we need more lolidevs
>>563981930you still have gog and itch, which don't have nearly as much humiliation rituals as steamshit does
>>563981932hell no, the less people spamming their gooner fetishes here the better, trannadev is already too much
>>563982212so you can spam your inflatable balloon animal fetish? get lost retard
we need less lolidevs because its kinda creepy.

>>563987764Json is a faggot. I saw him walk out of the glory hole with a bunch of 20 dollar bills in hand.
what exactly classifies a game as an assetflip? I had a plan to buy like 80-90% of my 3d assets and make the last 10% of unique stuff myself as needed because it's way too time consuming otherwise. I genuinely do care about this game at an artistic level and want to make something really cool and not just shit it out within a month or two, but I don't have the patience to model several thousand assets myself, especially while working full time
I don't want to work on UI...
>>563988110assetflip = game i don't likethat's literally it. gamercattle aren't intelligent enough to distinguish between selling a pre-made project and buying some models online
Can I get a TLDR of all the current thread schizos?
people who have accepted the juice isn't currently worth the squeeze vs people still hanging on to hope (cope) for dear life
>>563988110asset flips are when you buy something like "open world survival template" and literally make almost no changes and sell it as is. buying and using assets is perfectly fine.>>563988334you have the worst possible takes of all time, moron. yuge ngmi energy
>>563942046work more and pay more. practice your bankai.comission the stuff you find irritating, find new parts of the game to work on elsewhere.
>>563988660subhuman retard, we're obviously not talking about obvious asset flips here like selling a template, anon is clearly not retarded enough to do that, yet you seemingly are. gamercattle literally call every game they don't like an asset flip, even AAA games. it's about as meaningful of a complaint as "slop".

>>563989053>ad hominemconcession accepted>>563989117yeah, like i said, it basically equates "game i don't like" if they manage to track down the assets you used (most gamercattle can't do that and simply repost what some twittertard claims online)

And he got hired as a web designer because their first choice decided not to take the job.3. picrel

>>563992773Peter Molyneux started gamedev because someone at Commodore mistook his baked beans export company with a similarly named software company and sent him a bunch of new Amigas.
>>563985002This is a really nice job dud.I really like how you did the ball with its trail + shadow and that little speedup on contact with the paddle.I never did anything like this for my shitty pong

>>563993079The way I heard the story, they just told him to finish college first and his first job was as a designer and producer on some Terminator game. It was a case of>you have a pulse, can speak English, welcome aboard

>amerimutt hours>pedo and troon posting intensifiesNOOTICING....
>>563993604Todd Howard was hired by Bethesda Softworks in 1994 after repeatedly visiting their offices to ask for a job. While still a student at the College of William & Mary, he visited Bethesda's Rockville, Maryland offices on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to request employment but was told to finish school first. After graduating in 1993, he returned to apply for a position but was rejected again due to a lack of available openings. To bridge the gap, Howard took a job at a smaller game company in Yorktown, Virginia, which allowed him to attend industry events like the Consumer Electronics Show where he continued to approach Bethesda to request a role. His persistence finally paid off when Bethesda Softworks recruited him as a producer in 1994. His first official credit with the company was as a producer and designer for The Terminator: Future Shock, released in 1995. tldr; he begged for his job every chance he got
>>563993803>beg for job 5 times>kid, i like your moxie heres a producer jobwtf
>>563993619Coal is compressed shit
>>563993912I could imagine them eating some sort of sandwich while saying that.
>>563993912persistence is key.
>>563992773Gen X gamedevs had it the easiest out of any generation. They could show up and get a job working for the biggest companies or go walk to the bank and ask for a loan to start their own studio and the bank would just do it. Randy Linden got started by making an amiga port of Dragon's Lair at 17. All he had to do was call the Don Bluth company and say he had a prototype. They gave him enough money to hire an entire team to finish it. No one had it easier before or after.
>>563990664i only count devs as posters, nodevs are tourists so it's only trannadev, considering all the gaccha pedo threads in /vg/ its not too bad
>>563994138>While at Harvard, Newell visited his brother at Microsoft, which was not yet a major software developer. At the suggestion of the Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer, he dropped out of Harvard and began working at Microsoft. Newell said later that Microsoft was the best place in the world to learn to program at the time.>Inspired by Michael Abrash, who left Microsoft to work on the game Quake at id, Newell and another employee, Mike Harrington, left Microsoft to found the video game company Valve on August 24, 1996. Newell opted to found Valve instead of retiring as he felt working with "other really smart, motivated, socially orientated people to create product that would affect millions of other people" would be more fun.gabencunt got money to start up valve from microsoft, the job at which he got thanks to his brother, and thanks to that he also managed to get connections with industry veterans. it's fucking crazy how easy they had it.
>>563994619And now he controls the whole game industry and the majority of this thread worships him for it.
>>563993179Thanks manI said pong because I thought it would be funnier with the whole "your first game must be pong" thing people say here what i'm doing is trying to copy mario tennis from game boy color

Here's a game idea for ya'll ponies to steal. Your MO should be "A digital form of tennis". No I don't mean literally a tennis sim game, nor do I mean pong. I mean a 1 v 1 competitive game that's perfectly balanced, easy to get into but also extremely deep. No nerdy shit like special moves, different characters to play as, etc.

>>563992773>gamedev is mostly about luckI thought you guys already knew.Gamedev is like starting a rock band.It doesn't matter how good your band is, or the music you wrote are.What matters is you being in the right place at the right time.Also, it's a game of probability.Instead of releasing a medium size game in 3-5 years, you should release 3-5 games in a year.So now instead of 1 chance of success in 5 years, you have 5 chance to success every year.
>>564003749>Gamedev is like starting a rock band.I've heard this one before.

Was fun whilst it lasted though.No, people just took it out of context because nobody takes Epstein shit seriously.If you wanna go that far, might as well mention how a good portion of SomethingAwful guys got troll's remorse and how that could be linked to the culture wars.

Like even if you're okay with pedos you'd have to be okay with attention whores too, it's too much which is why Fygoon won at the end, mathematically speaking.
>>564005009>Well people don't like them in generalYes, which is why they take pedophilia very seriously unlike a certain dragon (Or most people online apparently).Your reaction to an actual pedophile should be calling the cops immediately and scream "someone think of the children" because logically, you do believe children are at risk and that is a bad thing.Otherwise, maybe you don't actually believe someone is a pedo if you react in a less serious manner.

New monster model mostly complete. Still have a few things to tighten up and a few props to add, but the base model and texture is good.Abilities are already done so that's nice.Can't seem to use a 'spawn on static mesh' niagara on a static mesh that's on a skeleton, but that might just be me being dumb.On to the next thing.

Do you guys think that Fygoon dresses up as a dragon when he's shit posting, and whenever he makes a post he thinks is funny he roars loudly to himself?Then in the evening, his dad pounds on his door and says>Son! Use your inside roars!Then Fygoon gets really angry and shouts>How dare you, foul peasant. Thinking he has the authority to suggest I show such weakness as using my inside roars.Then his mom walks up to the door and gently says>My lil' rascal, Rasko, you should treat you father with respect or else I won't let you have your "Fygoon Fun Time" and turn off the pornography blockerFygoon recoils into his chair, defeated>yes mama, yes papa.

>>564007091How did you get to this level of modeling proficiency?
>>564007210No such thing as skill and proficiency. Only vibrations.
>>564006664This is what fygoon haters think and write about everyone.
>>564006664>Reposting it to get more (You)s>All he got was someone calling him outlol
>>564007210Well, I do it in my spare time, but most of my dev time on the game has been learning to model, rig, texture, materials, animate and stuff like that.Much to they annoyance of anyone that's been paying a lick of attention when I post here, I've been at it for ~4 years. Lots of practice and EXTREMELY shitty models in the rear view. A good bit of that time was just learning the tools like blender and gimp.Keep at it, you'll get there!Game is GloamSnarl if you're interested in dungeon crawlers.
>>564007868May I ask what techniques you use for your models?I’m trying to get as close as possible to PlayStation 2 graphical fidelity
I can't believe Betz wrote a whole ass retrospective on v3 and Fygoon only got (1) paragraph. Was the drama manufactured?
mmo98 seems like it'll land somewhere between wasteland bites and guns and nuns storming hell. something like 130 reviews day one, +/- 15 reviews that's like $27k pre tax but after steams cut.
>>564007989Certainly. PS2 level fidelity at any sort of scale is going to be difficult if you don't have a team.If you don't already have a VERY good grasp on your tool of choice (blender is nice), sit down and go through tutorial hell on the basics until you understand layout, modelling, shading, model paint, and UV wrapping.Absolute best way to come to grips with the modelling style is to find base models of the poly count and style you want to work in. Polycount is a great resource for references and general rules: https://polycount.com/bestof/frontpageAdditionally Models resource is VERY helpful: https://models.spriters-resource.com/playstation_2/After picking apart a few models and making a few basic props (crates, barrels, simple buildings) you'll have a good handle on stuff.For my workflow, the model I posted took ~12 hrs of work between the base model, textures, materials, rigging, and a dumb idle anim.Good luck, god speed, and have fun!
>>563992773consider how hard you keep pushing yomih, i think you're the dev. are you trying to erase history? i remember him being here in the threads and admitting he just locked in on it all while he neeted it up thanks to neetbux. don't make me go look through the archives i remember what he said. no ambition yeah bro, the one game he locked in on and completely went silent, yeah pure laziness and giving up right there...
>>564008779why not just paint texture masks instead of albedo mask and just recreate them in a shader in the game engine?I find I get good results if I just paint in gray scale textures things like AO, scratches, then I use a custom unshaded toon shader with what I want.
>>563993803>keep bugging them for a job by going in person and calling them all the time>get the idea guy roleYeah it was so easy back then, a 4chan autist from today would basically have great odds of getting rich if we were all 20-30 back in the 90's with the same mindsets we have now
>>564009076yeah and we would all be filthy rich from bitcoin if we knew what we know now back then, retard. meaningless statement and meaningless point of view.
>>564009076>Cris is more qualified than they were back then
>>564009213You don't have to be needlessly abrasive.>>564009076My theory is that the actual programmers/artists of the day were so cracked that it didn't matter if the designer didn't know anyhting.
>>564009053Depends on your style. For the crunchy low poly stuff, there's only the diffuse map. Next to nothing else is used (Metal = 0, Roughness = 1, Albedo = 0, no AO, no normals).If your process works for you, don't change it for anything.

i noticed someone on itchio purchased the same game twice, like a minute apart, blatant accidental double purchase, sent them an email telling them about it so they can refund and they didn't.i think i've seen all of maybe 2 refunds show up in itch payment adjustments in all the years i've sold shit there.meanwhile i have an entire gallery of stupid refund notes from having shit on steam for months. steamies are just a more degenerate species.

>>564009213I hate my stupid ass not putting all my student loans into bitcoin in 2011. I remember reading some threads back then but I couldn't be bothered to properly learn about it and understand what the deal was. Prior to that I just knew it as the thing people use to buy drugs.
Does anyone here have an actual game, not just a bunch of cum stained drawings? Because that is all I have.
>started using claude with gentleman>it read my project, downloaded the right skills and fixed all my issues in 3-4 sessionsOf course I pointed it in the right direction several times and that can only happen so easily because I know the project like the palm of my hand but the fact that it can do so much with so little is a lot already. I wonder if I'll ever be able to go back to programming without it now. I still see the issue that problem solving is like a muscle, if you go the american way and ride a mobility scooter instead of walking then walking will start being painful soon enough.
>>564024770I think you're too old to use zoomiespeak

>>564028696>I still see the issue that problem solving is like a muscle, if you go the american way and ride a mobility scooter instead of walking then walking will start being painful soon enough.You are not wrong. Becoming reliant on AI is literally NPCification. Be careful.

>>564028875take game and remove all naughty bits and make 200$
The more I work on this the less sense this game makes. But I do like the way these little guys look.I think im just going to add a bunch of things, learn as much as i can on this project, post to demoday and move on.Then in the next turn based project i make maybe ill decide a more cohesive theme and because ill have all this experience it should end up looking pretty good.
>>564028958Neat
>>564028958I think the game would make more sense if you weren't trying your hardest to force your fetishes in.
>>564028875That's $4500 more than I'll ever see in my sad little life... holy shit man, you're actually living the dream. I'm over here rotting away thinking I'll make it with my dog shit toy projects while you're out here stacking real money with your own game. With this kind of success, you're gonna have multiple hits I can already feel it. you'll probably be a millionaire soon, if you're not already.

>>564029890I am feeling my skill decrease when I use AI. There was a point where I was so locked in that I would literally dream about coding.I'd have elaborate dreams where I was visited by people from my past and solved whatever problem I had that day and more often that not it really worked.Lost that the minute I started using AI.I'm thinking reading books and staying away from AI might help.
>>564028696>gentlemanThis https://github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai ?But why?
>>564029890If you're using AI to think for you you're using it wrong. You should be engineering and planning everything and treating Claude like a team of juniors who are just there to do the thoughtless grunt work.

>>564030931Ain't nobody got time for thatI'm just gonna vibe it until the project breaks then start over
>>564031549Niceeeeee
>>564031247That's about it like >>564031157 basically sounds exactly the same as all the other synthwave/chillstep whatever swarthy name they want to give it. It's like having a favorite drum & bass album, it's fine if it's just for live listening but when you have recorded music you're supposed to do something with it not just slap together the most monkey stirring low brow garbage.Well, I guess you could make pong or gambasloppa but don't come crying when it's impossible to distinguish it from all the other sloppa out there.
I noticed eating dinner interrupted my energy and make me not want to dev so I stopped
>>564029890AI not doing what i want correctly stresses me out. hitting my free limit in 5 prompts does too. I'm improving so much.
i want to make a 3d first person open world sandbox game like Rust except it takes place entirely in the astral realm in zero gravity. the astral realm is similar to space except magical not scientific. there's castles floating in it and crazy shit like that, the entire game is flying around. there's portals and giant lovecraftian octopus demons etc. since its not space and not scientific i can pretty much put whatever crazy shit in the void. it has pretty nebula clouds everywhere and stuff. different zones of the void have different laws of reality and such
>>564032138unlike Rust you cant really permanently kill someone because they're already a dead spirit but you CAN cast them into lower realms (there will be at least 7 realms) and lower realms are a bit hard to get out of back to higher realms but they're not a punishment they're all interesting in their own ways. but if you are in a higher realm and you want some asshole gone from it then beat them and cast them into the lower realms and its almost the same as killing them (from the realm you inhabit)

>>564033926>rises to the top
>>564003749>Instead of releasing a medium size game in 3-5 years, you should release 3-5 games in a year.>So now instead of 1 chance of success in 5 years, you have 5 chance to success every year.That's the kind of advice you hear from people that don't know anything but want to sound smart and you, who also know nothing and can't think for yourself, takes it as granted because it's harsh, and cool, so it must be true, right?5 games releases of 0 worth is still, at the end of the day, 0. You can release several trash "projects", wasting time and money at each of them. Your chances aren't linear. You're not actually pulling a lever at a deterministic slot machice— reality doesn't work in heuristics. You will fail just as bad and be buried in a mountain of valueless slop.
the shitendo eshop is now being changed to function like steme and automatically bury new gameswhy? because shitendo couldn't be bothered to do quality control on their e-shop like valve couldn't be bothered with quality control on steme and ban russia, chyna and hindustan from publishing games on there.
>>564034136>b-but youtubers told me to make small games
If they banned every game but yours, would you make it?
>>564031621It makes me feel all happy inside when I think of all the people who vibecode apps and, when an user has a specific bug unique to them, the "developer" has no way to fix anything, because AI doesn't understand multi level contextual situations.

After I make my first moderate success I'm going to use the money to hire a team to make miniatures like pic related of all the levels in my next game and I'll use gaussian splatting to render them. That will be my gimmick.

>>564003749I do think luck is often tied to availability. "Am i at a place in life where i can dedicate a few years to make this game?" brokedevs are at a disadvantage over people who get help from parents and spouses.A good game will sell.....*if people want to play it*. Just make a good game that people WANT TO PLAY.
