MMO98 releases soon and after that no big games coming out from /agdg/ or BiteMe for a while. Though BiteMe seems to already be cooking up another potentially minorly successful game. Very nice seeing 5 minorly successful games thus far:>Wireworks>Poke All Toads>MyRobot (including Kickstarter and Patreon funds)>Wasteland Bites>Guns and Nuns: Storming Hell. Predictions on the total Day 1 reviews of MMO98?
>>56403832978
some progress
>>564038329I see mmo98 has a 'supporter pack' dlc(cosmetic bonuses). why doesn't any /agdg/ game have such a pack?
>>564038329I'm guessing like 143 or somewhere close to it.
i looked up social interaction trainer on steam and apperantly steamies were pissed about some achievement in that game that you got as a bonus for patreon donationswhy do steamies care so much about achievements? if they didn't want to pay just use steam achievement manager?
>>564039159steam achievements let you know what the fuck is upi got one thats at 3% right now in pragmata because i am a real gamer who stayed and shot that stupid ass worm drill like a thug
do i put achievements in that are for the most skilled only? like 1% of the population reaction time type of skill? or will that make steamies mad that they have to practice a lot(100s of hours) to get that?
>>564039445>or will that make steamies mad that they have to practice a lot(100s of hours) to get that?yes it will, your steam discussion forum will be filled to the brim with steamies complaining about achievements being too hard.that is of course if your game is popular enough to get to that point

Valve caused the rise of low effort slop games by only promoting 400 games a year.valve was too lazy to manually examine new releases and filter out the low effort garbageand they were too scared to increase the upload fee to filter out thirdies and scammers from shitting up the storeso they just stopped promoting games based on review performance and shifted towards revenuenow the only games that do well organically on steam are streamerbait dopamine slop that get attention on social mediareal games are left in the dust to rot because they didn't have two year advertising periods before releasedevelopers are no longer incentivized to make good games purely for the intrinsic joy of creating good gamesthey are forced to focus on viral advertising strategies, otherwise their games will receive zero support, and the time and money cost won't be justifiable
I'll give gamers what they want
What qualifies as amateur? Just someone who hasn't released a game yet?Does everyone who has made a game have to fuck off afterwards?
you can use arrow keys on the captchas. this changed the game
>>564038329They have failed to get any content creator to play MMO98....It's a niche game, so it's hard to say.

>>564043167That is based on wishlistings, which is probably 98% indian and chinese bots.
>>564043324>which is probably 98% indian and chinese botsand yet this is what steam shows to the real users anyway, and since most steamies are barely sapient they'll wishlist and buy it anyway if it's cheap enough, meaning they'll generate enough revenue to keep being pushed up top by the algorithm, meaning it's what steamies will continue to buy.
137 days left, I owe 20 hours to my game. I wish I could work on my game for 8 hours a day at least ONCE. I never could pull it off even once and I've been tracking my time for years. In my mind it's so unachievable that I thought for a second I was going to promise to all of you to do it today but then I was like nah, better not promise something I couldn't ever do.Tomorrow I'll be eating cake and I promise to eat it and enjoy it.
In my game the player is treated like a retard

I was dreading having to add a tutorial to my gameand then for whatever unconnected reason I tried playing Terraria after so many years unplayed in my Steam libraryand it doesn't have a tutorial or any explanations for how to do anythingand I'm expected to add a tutorial to my game? onboarding?! AHAHAHAA EAT SHIT YOU STUPID CUNT GAMER CUNT CUNTSso now I have extra time for writing lore or whatever I want

>>564037939HOLY FUCKGodot just suddenly decided to overwrite one of my scene files. While I was sitting in the editor watching it happen.It's just fucking gone, and all scenes referencing it are broken.I guess I'm a retard for not using git, but what the fuck. How is this an actual bug.Luckily, it was just a minor scene file, and not my main game logic.
>>564043575In the Universe 25 experiment, they created a paradise for mice—a world with an endless supply of food and no predators.When overpopulation set in, the females became hostile toward their offspring, the alphas mistreated their subordinates, and a group of males simply decided not to interact with society; they shut themselves away in their small spaces, groomed themselves, but never had sex.The mice never had computers, nor the ability to appear as females.

and also this bullshit in Terraria where you walk and then the background just fades from green hills to a desert. the dunes just fade in like you're on the holodeck in Star Trek? and this garbage earned how much money? gamers deserve slop. the worse it is the more they want it. in my game I won't even have things fading in, they'll just appear with no transition at all. if I can figure out a more jarring and abrupt transition than things simply appearing, I'll do that instead.gamercattle deserve to be resettled to the east.

It just saved all the contents of one scene file to another one. Boom. Done. No way back. I have no idea why that can happen.It only kept the filename. Everything else was a clone of the other scene file.
>>564049476no meme, its not that bad. just ask ai, bro. you'll be more grateful as itl let you understand github stuff more. much better than copying endless amounts of folders>>564049463i like stories about fathers and their sons. idk any games that tell those types of stories. ik its popular in other mediums
Made a basic input tool to generate me a JSON with the input using a fighting game buffer like notation, and it stores to json.Hopefully I can easily load this file and create a FSM generic enough to automatically understand how to process this so I don't have to rebuild it on every new project.:D

devs with no social media presence, how did announcing your first commercial game go and what did you do? what would you have done?
>>564051169I couldn't remember and just googled rimworld
>>564048738I use AI (ChatGPT) for a lot of my programming.The engine is written in C, and uses Raylib and ODE for the physics and SDL2Net for the networking.The trick with using AI for programming it to keep methods/functions relatively small, and when you tell the AI to write you a function, tell it exactly what you want the function to do and keep the function very small.For example AI prompt -"Write me a function that takes the paramaters "int EntityIndex, Vector3 position, Vector3 target, bool runTime"If the bool runTime is true, then return a Vector3 for the inverse direction from the position to the target.Of course you need to know how to use the programming language that you choose, but programming is much more than knowing the language, you need to be good at maths as well, and I am not. AI will tell you what sort of maths you need to achieve a certain goal, and if you keep the functions small, it will help you write great stub-functions that when used together, can do things like create character controllers or level builders etc.My main.c file is 28000 lines, the entire project is about 40k lines.
Marnix won.
>>564037939https://eyeballtank.itch.io/hirdrih-technologic-wip/devlog/1493467/18apr2026-updateUpdated the game yesterday.
>>564051964family okay?
i really don't wanna be a crab and ofc there is proof that one person can make it alone.but.i feel like i just can't contribute anything to gaming. everything is solved, tons of options, everything has been tried already.unless i believe in money-maxxing and trying to make cheap funny games that are just timekillers, i don't see any reason to spend time on gamedev anymore.there are probably better words to describe what i mean, but i don't have better words. i don't think i can contribute anything.so what should i do all day? i came to the conclusion to have fun. if you aren't one of the pro athletes, just sit down on the stands and have fun watching the pros do their thing.
>>564051419>My main.c file is 28000 lines12915 here. I'm gaining on you though
>>564049290no he's shitposting
>>564052117playtest agdg games relentlessly, give as much feedback as your can, describe your emotional state during the play, record if you can. your contribution could be bigger than you could ever know.
even though roosterdev is using ai and libraries i still feel mogged. i even feel mogged by unity devs a lot. i realized i hate marijuana users but i think id still smoke a spliff because it's kinda my scene.
How did you get your first tech job? Cant i just copy paste 1-2 react projects from youtube then after that done I'll just grind leetcode?
>>564052468I lucked out. I got hired during the covid boom
>>564049463>new meta just dropped
>>564052468You better off asking this on /g/ people here are either unemployed or working some dead end job not related to tech
>>564050145cris FVARKING WON
>>564052117time will pass anyway and you will die.It's better to try and fail than get old and regret you did not tried.The sad reality is that there's not a lot of games released every year that are worth the time.Yes, millions of games, most of them are still way less memorable or better than cave story.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q09KoR7g018The path of making it is not to focus on possible rewards like money or fame, which are honestly the wrong rewards to gamedev.You should seek to make something trully special, at least to you.Something that matters.You may not reach millions of people, but you could still today aim at making something that changes the life of a dozen people.
>>564052117>everything has been tried already.But what if I combine X genre with Y genre?
>>564052468i just walked into a webdev company and asked for a job. did a 2 week internship and then started working part-time there. after 2 months i quit because i couldn't handle the existential dread. i realized physical work at a grocery store is better than having to use my brain all day. when i had that job i also was really angry all the time. there's just some weird vibe that builds up when you constantly force yourself to do something you don't like. it causes hard anger management problems.
>>564052440nice blogpost retard
>>564051419thanks, man. really helpful tips. im going to start doing this
>>564037939one thing looking around indie spaces has taught me is that 99% of indie game ideas are ass, and that remaining 1% is broken up into 33% copy-of-a-good-idea but with worse art and UI and poor execution+spelling mistakes, 33% decent idea with retarded story/art/UI tacked on + poor execution+spelling mistakes, then about 34% of the 1% of worthwhile indie games actually aren't indie but sleeper corpos and run decently well but with 100mm in marketing behind it. yes i am also in the 99%.
>>564052117Are you trying to reinvent the wheel? To be the next Kojima? To "contribute to gaming" you just need to make a fun game. There are a ton of games that were made 20 years ago that the new generation will never get to experience either by lack of access or knowledge. If you make a game like that, even if it isn't original, you're still giving more people the opportunity to experience that game. Isn't that enough?
i dont have the art skills needed for gamedev and not the budget needed to make up for it and not the social skills needed to make up for that via collabs and not the mental flexibility to adapt to the ideas of transexual furry artists or 17 year old friendslop zoomers and not the programming skills and real life mobility to get hired at a real dev job and not the soullessness to make abstract 2D slop time killer idle slop.there is no place for me in this world.
>>564052468Luck after Luck after Luck.>Unemployed for almost 2 years, finally found a job as QA for slot machine company>Worked for 3 years, tired of it, quit & go for a 6 months training course>Get hired by the guy that teach the course for a year as developer>Then got tired of not getting full time and forever stuck in contract, started to apply online>Get lucky and found a job as QA in mobile game companyUnfortunately, my luck ran out, and I just got retrenched recently.
>>564052117I'm emotion-maxxing. I want to share an idea to my audience, and make them feel all the emotions I dont know what to do with. I want my games to be an answer to a question about life that I dont even know the answer to, and make my audience feel like they got something important from playing my game. It sounds pretentious, but don't you know what im talking about? anyway guys make sure to support my incremental pixel art game about feeding a uhhh galaxy.
intrinsic motivation is that thing you want to do that doesn't make you friends, money, girlfriends or any other real reward. it's usually something hard to do when you lack basic needs like friends, money and girlfriends, because your body has a hierarchy of needs.
>>564049463
>>564052713damn, youre pretty based. weren't you scared of what your fellow mates would say about you? or your parents? I want to job to fund my games, i dont have any craving for a career.
>>564052468applied to help desk in a SCIF in my early 20s which netted me a Top Secret clearance then leveraged that + experience to move to another SCIF where I did Risk Management which after a few years I used the experience to join a PMO standing up an RMF effort (TS no longer needed) for a large place's facility controls systems, which gave me some good experience doing a round-trip RMF effort after which I used the experience to get into a job pursuing and maintaining ATOs for medical devices and then finally landed around my mid-30s doing security system architecting remotely. no more clearances or anything needed, all consulting.
>>564053189my boss was a chain smoker. i might be a completely fuck up financially, but at least i don't rot my body away with cope-addictions.
>>564053187KEK>>564052927unironically how do you cope with this? the market seems so unstable. im NTA but im a new grad who is being a complete bitch about devoting my time trying to get a job in such unstable times. It's no longer about just "get your first job".
i have to admit, i don't know what i want, but i know a lot of things i don't want anymore.a) i don't want to make an engineb) i don't want to make "game x but better"c) i don't want to make scopeslop (games that i don't want to play, but are viable)d) i don't want to collaboratee) i don't want to "just do it" (tried that, went nowhere)f) i don't want to do everything myself (i'm not a one man army)the only thing i can vaguely say i want is having a clear idea before i make a game. and it has to be an original one. not one where i just grind to get on the same level as the original.if i don't have such an idea i will not do anything, unless i find another reason to make something besides that.
>>564053362>unironically how do you cope with this?I can't.Everyday I'm depressed from knowing that I just lost my dream job, a job that i thought I can work until I retire, a job that I'm ready to do for the next 30 years.And now I'm stuck in a worse job, with worse pay, and not even doing mobile game or any game anymore.My mental is in an absolutely horrible state right now. Worse than when I was unemployed for almost 2 years.Despite all that, I'm not gonna quit my job either, because without the income, I'm gonna be depressed too, just for another reason. Also, the job market is really shit right now, especially the tech industry.
99% of what's considered "young peoples culture" is actually "young people desperately trying to find something that makes money".all their entry-level jobs got outsourced to the second and third world.
would you trust them to help you with your gamedev problems? they seem to have pure robo hearts.
Have (you) started your trailer yet or are you one of those "waits until the night before" people?
>>564054163young people culture is even funnier, actually. it's all rounded-corner slop with no true cultural context or continuity, nothing to get the noggin joggin, until the age of about 12 when it becomes all about sex and existential dread, then at 18 it becomes about suicidal ideation because somehow, the childhood years made up of nothing but pre-chewed slop memes and schools you can't fail out of, didn't prepare them to live in a world that demands you operate at a certain standard. it's like a culture with a built-in footgun, it's awesome.
>>564053717fuck, man. that sucks ass. keep your head up, dev. i think the dream of "im going to work here until i retire" is gone in tech, unless you join with a smaller company. i hope u feel better
>Edmund McMillen’s games on Steam have generated approximately $130.2 million in total lifetime revenue as of early 2026. His portfolio is anchored by massive indie hits like The Binding of Isaac and the 2026 release of Mewgenics
>>564054404damn u clocked me to a T. was it that obvious
>>564053717hope things get better for you, bro. no shame in taking not-tech jobs. i used to weld for like 39 hours over the weekends (fri sat sun) while studying cert tests on off days and trying to get something tech on my resume, sometimes it just is what it is.
>>564054404i've recently used the term "brainslop survivor". it's people who got raised on brainslop or overconsumed brainslop for a while, yet they still managed to have a career or skills in the end.it's like surviving a heroin addiction.
why does an engine need to support linux, when 99% of gamers use windows and 1% of people use wine on linux.i never understood this.
>>564054315c3p0 can localize my game any day. r2d2 can do sound design, maybe chiptunes too.
>>564054474>>564054630Thanks, but I can't stop thinking how good I had it previously, and can't stop calculating how much money I'm "losing" from having a lower pay.I will just take some time to heal myself up. Not sure how long that will be though.The only way for me to be truly happy again is to get rehire back to the previous job. I know there's a high chance that can happen since they have rehired older staffs a lot previously. All i need is to wait a few years when they are making profits again. Or maybe I'm just hard coping.
>>564054562>approximately $130.2 million in total lifetime revenue50% was eated by fatfuck gabencunt for absolutely nothing, and another 50% of that was eated by the government to pay for ahmeds and motumbus. so in actuality he earned about 30 million in his lifetime

>>564054706you can survive liking shitty slop memes just fine, plenty of successful people watched the big bang theory and made a life. what you can't survive is going 20 years without having an idea being challenged and shot down, or an ide seeming great until it flopped, or going 20 years without ever truly failing, or failing repeatedly, or eventually being able to chart at least one map from "beginner" to "success," without ever having to admit you don't know anything, or that you're the problem, or that you made a mistake, that you needed to self-correct, or without taking an injury, or having tthings put in perspective by something larger than your combined problems, or without developing the emotional resilience necessary to keep all of life's plates spinning without having a melty. we don't let kids have those lives, we put them in a room, put them on a device, and they live "virtually" for a couple decades and then we tell them "oh actually, there's a bunch of real consequences and the world is going to demand you have skills that your school didn't even have names for, good luck." funny!
>>564055223what about your son?
>>564055230im going with gamedev because i failed to get a career in tech. i unironically have the belief that failing in gamedev wont deter me. Why did i give up on tech? I dont want to do it.

>>564055178jeet
what if extrinsic and intrinsic motivation are both extremes and the goal is to find a middleground between what you enjoy and what makes money?just doing what you want and starving sucks.just doing what others want and only caring about materialistic stuff also sucks.although the holy grail seems to be something that both hits your intrinsic motivation hard and also makes a shit ton of money.but that rarely happens. even notch and other rich devs retired after their big hit and they dont release games anymore. so it was definitely not intrinsic motivation. or it was and isn't anymore.
>>564054370I tested two of my games with and without any trailer and there was no difference in purchases or refunds so I just don't make trailers any more.
>>564055691Yeah but did you send it to a local shillcase that airs in June?
>>564056112nta but i sent mine to youtubers (nobody big, all unde 40k subs but hey free content for them) and that was the advertising. i knew going into it that i wasn't getting rich or viral off my idea so showing it to people who are already primed to pay 9.99 for an indie game was probably the best. you'd be surprised how many indie game channels have a website where you can just say "here game" and they will queue it up.
>you spent 10 years theory crafting the perfect formula for making a hit game>you end up realizing you hate that type of game and have 0 motivation to make itnever forget that you are a human and not an llm.
What would you do if your game appeared on a channel like this where your game would be publicly disgraced and defamatated in front of millions of steamies?>but muh any publicity = good publicityOnly subhumanite retards think that, none of these games you see here are unflopped because they appeared on this channel.
How likely is it to get in real trouble over publishing a free fan game on itch.io? It's based on a Bandai Namco/crigames IP, I ripped character models from the original and use them in my game. Lets say I blogposted about it a lot too so they can find my personal social media account easily.
>>564056849nigga are you the ONE PIECE GUY LOOOOLLLLL
>>564056849there's tons of pokemon and digimon games, nobody cares
>>564056334Yeah I'm going to try and do something similar with the show this year. "Hey here's [number of games] trailers restream the show that's airing on Saturday." I'm sure I'll get some bites.
>>564056735id just fix the game...gamers love redemption arcs.or make a better game. it does suck though for the elder scrolls guy because that game seemed liek a shit ton of work.
>>564056849my plan is to contact the IP holders once the game is actually done, then accept whatever terms they have up to 80% rev, if they refuse that then ill sprite publish it under a russian "dev" who isn't me on a russian proxy
>>564057250>gamers love redemption arcsonly if you're a AAA slopstudio, gamercunts HATE (true) indie devs
>>564057215I guess. Nintendo infamously have been assholes about this kind of shit, don't know about bandai though
Where are da loligaems??????
>>564057396can i ask what you genuinely expected to happen? did you think you could just upload it and itd be chill kekanyway your project was cool, ur next game is going to be much better because of this experience.
>>564056735draw him pregnant and also giving birth out of his dick. with obsessive detail.
>>564057404it's because truly indie devs just can't make generally good things. there is an upper limit to the level of quality one person can put out so unless the thing being made is memeable or memorable in some way it's not going to get forgiven for looking and feeling like crap. nobody gets forgiven, gamers will call AAA billion-dollar affairs and shoestring-budget indie projects crap, if they are crap.
>>564057587fucking retard nodev
>>564057141kek I saw that. I was feeling stupid that day, but I was reminded of how very dumb gamedevs can be. we are geniuses in comparison
making games really challenges you to see value in fun. video games aren't a practical tool, they wont fix your life, they wont solve all your problems. but if you think "fun" has value, then games have value. you just need to make up your mind if you think fun is important or if it's dumb and for kids.reminds me of an article about goosebumps and the author got asked if any of his stories has political meaning. and he said "no" and that he believes kids should be allowed to have fun and not everything has to be educational and meaningful.if you don't believe in fun, you don't believe in video games.that being said, making a fun game isn't that easy. but without fun being the goal you wont understand what the point of making a game is. the point is to make something fun. the best fun someone can have.

who would someone choose to make a bad or boring game that doesn't sell?
>>564039159i was looking for something related to this to post but instead i found this 2014 crab post. at the time of this post SIT is a brand new, made in a weekend, project for a gamejolt x pewdiepie gamejam and this snibbety was celebrating that SIT only got voted into the top20 (out of like a thousand entries) because pewdiepie committed to playing the top10 in a video.what a tasty crab.
>>564054370I releasered the trailer and steam page already and GameTrailers published it, didn't get many views, not sure how many wishlists I got from that, maybe 100 being optimistic. Social media reception was much bigger and better.
rockstar spent over 15 years and hundreds of millions of dollar to make a game for me where i just drive around in circles to relax.this is our human circus in a nutshell.
>>564057996mods deleted his post but, he remade/ported the gameboy advance one piece game in unity, published it on the app store. no idea what the fallout is.
>>564058571*this took him 2 years
>>564057847it was hella funny. i hope it encouraged him to keep devving
you are having too high expectations.
I need a demo out before nextfest... HAHAHSFLAHF
i've come to the conclusion that the most fun you can have in 2026 is to just scroll through social media and youtube all day.maybe it's actually a good thing. cause communication was almost non-existent in history. it's the first time ever we can listen to people all over the world and what they are doing, where they are coming from, what's different in their life etc. etc.we suddenly have information we never had before.it's normal to be excited about that.
>>564059935>we suddenly have information we never had before>20+ year old platform and a 40+ year old conceptok kid
>>564059935>what is a newspaper?

why does a giant data-center full of ai's get mogged by a dummy organic human brain when it comes to making games?

every time i try to study the math i'm wanting to write i hear people in my head when i get focused saying "you cant do it", like i wrote notes on it why dont you believe in me . i could easily write that.i'm just deving simple things for now.
>>564061239You should drive the car to the car wash. While it is only 50m away, the goal is to wash the car, which requires the vehicle itself to be present in the wash bay. Walking there will leave you at the car wash without the car. RedditReddit +5This video explains why driving is the better option:

>>564055673I want to make enough money that I can start doing whatever the fuck I want without having to worry about monthly expenses. Honestly having about 20k a year after taxes would be plenty. With that kind of money I could be saving a couple thousand per year easy. Gamedev is probably not the right place to seek money but I don't wanna wagie either.

I quit after 4 months and tried my luck again trying to get back to QA, but it's been 2 years since my last QA job and a year since that general affairs job. I dont know what to do anymore. I bought a pen tablet thinking maybe i could pick up drawing but it's been collecting dust. >>564052713>i realized physical work at a grocery store is better than having to use my brain all day.So you're still working at the grocery store now?

>>564069242Looking good anon
>>564072124Is this suited for turning high res images into pixel art looking things? Looks like all the examples are just shit to do with images that is already pixel art.
Any reason this thread is mostly insane?
>>564072187And if you're wondering how other P2P games do it, they don't.They minimize the "remote execution code", server and clients exchange information in a non turing complete format that it not allowed to do input/output. So at worst a compromised server tells you that all mobs are immune to damage and that you should kill yourself immediately. The client gets annoyed and leaves for other server rather than lose all credentials.This is an acceptable risk.If you're a lazy fuck sending raw javascript and running eval on it, that's on you.
>>564072764>the most controversial thing i did in these threads was critique animationyou're constantly ranting and shitting yourself about steamies, gabencunt, gamercunts, and *cunts. we all know it's you; you aussie cunt fuck.

>>564078275According to /agdg/ 42k over three months is bad, and you should have worked for Mister Burgerstein's fast food restaurant instead.
>>564078349>42kmore like 18k over 3 months after the gabencunt tax and government taxplus we don't how much of that is refunded, since this is steam, refunds are guaranteed
pleayse subscribe ta my patreon. I need money ta feed my cunt kids fahkin' fair dinkum mate
>>564078486Lmao took the bait like a fat idiot.
>>564078650cope, tayloryou earned less than a spic working at maccas
>>564077407>That wasn't me.If it wasn't you, then who was it? Because when that retard posts, you're always absent.
bros, wtf.v-ray was released for free in blendert today.wtf.
>>564078737Nobody wants to work for your business, sorry. I'd rather make money off my hobby than spend an hour making money for your coke and ladyboy prostitute hobby.
>>564078903that's what's your harem simulator has been missing
>>564078903isn't cycles on par with v-ray? does this even matter?
great.. another schizo TaylorDev will annoy us now.
>wtf why does everyone leave for the discord!>then thisLmao
>>564079062and he's also a fag, talking about ladyboy prostitutes
>>56407873742k gross in a 90 day period isn't bad, it's only bad if it stops there, lol. two more spikes and that's a decent salary in a year. maybe the chances of wringing another 7,000 units moved out of the game is asking too much tho, idk. if i was just a guy who made 42k - tax on top of my ~100k a year salary? shit i'd take it
>>564079034cycles is a joke compared to V-ray.I mean, is ok for hobby work.Cycles is one of the big boys if you want AAA photorealism.
in my country $42k would be enough to buy a governorship
>>564079289yes saar we know pindia is a country where 50k is a generational fortune
ITT: no money and no games talking about both
>>564079380what I really want is a blond white woman in white high heeled shoes. but even stardew valley or minecraft aren't enough to attract one of those.
>>564079289i am a fair governor, i would lower your taxes and exploit our people's political enemies. where can i sign up?
>>564079574make a space game and you can get a wide-hipped autistic black gf
>>564079606Yeah, me too! What he said, plus when you get up in the morning, you don't have to sit on the edge of the bed for a couple of minutes to think about how you need to change your life!
i just want to get a demondice karen gf
gamercunts will spent a million dollars on microtransactions in gtaslop in one single go but $20 for an indie game on steam is too much for them
>>564079816>i just want to get a demondice karen gfAah, now >>564074161 makes sense.
>>564079826It comes down to time.Indie game:>time investment>uncertainty if fun or notWhatever slop they gobble down:>time already invested>familiarNow post progress cunt.
>>564079826hi gogem, i'm not subscribing to your patreon
>>564079826I hate this industry so fucking much.
>>564049015Let's focus on hopeful mouse studies. When they stimulated a certain circuit in a beta male mouse's brain, it became assertive and started winning dominance contests

Progress: New character. The vision for the story is that you play as the sexy choco babe, but identify with the gigachad everyman.
>>564049015the world itself is just designed in a bad and evil way full of unfairness and pain. there is no way to look at the universe and say that the God who created it is good without deluding yourself. God is an evil disgusting monster who should be destroyed
>>564081327cringe
>>564049015The only moral way for a conscious being to exist, is as a sovereign and free God.I don't care for all the 'suffering is necesgary' sociopathic psy ops.
>>564081327Yes, if Abrahamic and / or Karmic Religions were true, then the only moral response is open rebellion against that God. But those doctrines are not true, and the Vertiginous Question of "Why am I me instead of you?" proves them all to be false.
Hey all, I think I have something worth sharingIf you are doing dev on a web technology, take 30s to watch the videoIn that video:- I am playing my game within Claude (yes)- I use a Claude-made tool to design buildings- I can ask Claude to iterate and the game changes WITHOUT refreshing- I can point at UI elements- I can take a screenshotAll WITHIN ClaudeIt makes iterating on design incredibleoh and you can try the game (free) https://www.zombiesperminute.com/ if you want to see how far you can go!Happy to answer any questions you might have!
>>564081298You’re good.I wish I could draw better
>>564081234Yes yes, all the insane schizo shitposters in this thread aren't real.
>>564081823
yeah bro I totally want to play a worse version of factorio.
>>564081823people are indeed sleeping on the AI. the people who can't/don't use it or get weird results have to have insanely bad communication skills, or have no clue what they are doing anyway and because "Make me a game without bugs" didn't work, none of it must work, lol.
>>564081823that's it, I'm done with this hobby.anyone working on a game after seeing this is a retard. it's a machine's world, humans should lie down and rot.
>>564081823buy an ad
>>564082373bullshit. i am making a genwun pokemon-like but instead of pokemon battles it's yu-gi-oh duels. one big map, 768 cards, 8 card shop leaders, criminals maybe. shit will be fun, fuck you.
>>564082628sounds good, i'll be taking that idea.
>>564078898This might be really upsetting for you to hear again, but most yesdevs agree with any GMI potential agree with the typical "zukjeet" stances. There have been many cases in the past where we've double teamed you, and all you could do was cry "samefag" like you always do. I'm busy with my game jam this weekend.
it seems like my deving goes in that type of cycle:1) low expectations, low bar2) just start working on something3) make good progress4) bar raises, higher expectations5) bar so high i get tired of my project and think its bad6) bar so high that i quit7) extremely frustrated that i can't do what i want, think everything i do is shit8) existential dread, feeling guilty of being unproductive9) heavy depression10) breaking down, letting go, giving up11) being burnt out for 2 months12) slowly starting to do things for fun again13) starting to enjoy small things again14) extremely low expectations15) -> start from 1) again
>>564082628I could feed that idea to AI and it'd get it done by this evening. I don't want to because games are now so worthless even describing a game to AI is a waste of time.
>>564082719>solo dev>open world>rpg>competitive card balancing>fucking card game AIthe joke was to throw out an idea that would effectively burn a year of solo dev life with no return lmao, enjoy
>>564082516
>>564083002I don't remember writing this post
>>564083006making the thing, making the thing good, and making money on the thing are the things devs need to worry about. ai can barely account for the first one and can't do shit about the other two.
>>564081836Thanks. You need to stop wishing and start drawing.
>>564083341
>>564082831>most yesdevs agree with any GMI potential agree with the typical "zukjeet" stancesVoices in your head are not yesdevs, jeet.>There have been many cases in the past where we've double teamed youAgain, who is "we"? Samefagging is not gonna make you look any less insane than you already is.>I'm busy with my game jam this weekend.You've never even shown a single screenshot of a game editor, and you're telling me you're hosting a jam? Jeet, please.You're a newfag who's been spamming your idiotic shit since July 2025. All of your "takes" begin on that date, all of them, it's visible in the archive. And since that time you haven't posted a game once.
uh oh, meltie
>>564083079>>solo devI have AI>>open worldcopy and paste pokemon world>>rpgAI can do that>>competitive card balancingAI can do that>>fucking card game AIAI can do thatcheckmate, athiests
>>564083431lmao ai is fine lil bro but it isn't going to account for a lack of instrumental intelligence or taste. again, >ai can barely account for the first one and can't do shit about the other two.how you gonna feel when anthropic has over 2400 of your hard earned shekels and all you have are memes and a barely functional demo with 0 players and even less wishlists? good, i bet
>>564081823how much did you spend so far on claude to get to this level?
>>564083732$263
>>564083341>AI that's better than me at coding, writing, art, and game ideas needs ME to make the game good and make it commercially viablecope. if anything, a human in the loop is now holding the AI back
>>564083732about 500 copies worth of factorio of which he'll see about 20 sales.
>>564083296GIWTWM
progress, trying to approximate collision boxes for fractals, next up is actually building the compound collider
>>564083858if this was even remotely true then steam would be awash in an AI game goldrush but instead it's just slop after slop after slop. the ai CAN do all those things, well. but it can never fix your sense of taste. maybe you do shit out a bundle of code and pngs that does something, but it's a piss drop in the slop ocean. so yea, the AI DOES need a human in the loop. but what's going to be good is seeing who, when unshackled by development limitations, actually has good ideas. i think we'll get to peek into many people's "inner universes" and realize most people, internally, resemble the fucking ganges
>>564084259AI already has better ideas than you.
>>564084241looks like an internal view of my intestines pushing out a turd
>>564084382kneejerk instacope, musta hit that nerve lmao. how does it feel to get nuked by text on a screen?
>>564083716I already sold 500 copies of my vibe coded game, you are probably using some dumb free model and thinking we AI Chads are on the same boat, meanwhile we are on a premium 5 star yatch.
grok, make me GTA 6, one shot, no mistakes.hhehehehehe i'm so villainous I'M GOING TO BE RICH
>>564083865usecase for 20 copies of factorio? also post game ;)
>>564084574Taylor sold 3,500 so you're behind the lowliest of aggdagg devs
Most AI-assisted games I've seen are obvious soulless slop, people who use it tastefully are a small minority
>>564084389probably a lot more interesting of a setting than what I'm doing. The goal is to scale up collision to something like this
>>564084665Was Taylor made in a week without any manually made art/code/etc? No? Then fuck off. Also 500 so FAR.
>>564084640>post game>>564068097this is my game, ;)
>>564084241What’s this for anyways? Genuinely curious
@564084797Obviously.
>>564083716this is not about AI, their only purpose is to demoralize yesdevslook at joshua, his game looks like crap and is boring and generic as fuck, even when he's using AI and promotes it like a retardhe also stopped posting progress, just as expected
>>564084741they don't use it tastefully lol. they use it to get into videos like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFb3GEsOPr0
>>564084891
>>564084885I want to have an alt dimension for fast space travel that is like conceptual space, kind of like 40k's warp. It'll be very dangerous, don't get crushed
>>564084741>Most AI-assisted games I've seen are obvious soulless slopWell yeah it lowers the bar of entry so low that of course most people using it are making complete dog shit with it because they don't have talent or taste. the only people who should be worried about AI are the consumers trying to filter through the sea of shit on steam
>>564081298>trannydev's thinly veiled interracial fetishkek
>>564084891the simple fact is that if someone wasn't devving before AI they aren't going to magically turn into a dev overnight. probably the best theoretical conversion of not-dev into yes-dev by way of AI would be someone who was already a software developer or project manager who moved to game dev becasue the AI 2x'd their ability to do things. not some random retard who couldn't handle learning C# or unity properly, and the amount of half-baked vibe-code games as well as abandoned projects is proof. it's not about dev in general, just most people quit shit and regress to the mean. most people quit drawing for fun, most people quit coding for fun, and AI doesn't help with that. not only that but if someone gets over the finish line with AI code in their game they aren't going to say it, so for all intents and purposes only faildevs are using AI, openly.
>>564085054Cool
>>564084889the worst posters in here hate AI
>>564085009AI has been replaced developers for over a year now, realistically there's no way a human would even be able to keep track of AIs progress. So where are the AI built apps and games that will revolutionize the world?
>>564085508
>>564085527up my butt and around the corner
>>564083380IDK if it's possible for me to get better
>>564085527>So where are the AI built apps and games that will revolutionize the world?Make them yourself, we are here to make money not to revolutionize shit lmao
>>564085437human devs are redundant now. in a year gamers are going to show AI their Steam library play times and AI will generate a personalized game in real time. and this service will cost $10/month. it's over. imagine thinking humans have ANY place in ANY creative work after seeing >>564081823
>you think my game looks like AI slop!?!?!?>this means you hate AI, ludditethis is how they cope. they could never admit that their game just looks like shit
>>564085794Show one (1) example of that.
>>564085794The future is intentionality. That is something ai can't do
>>564074986Cris, Boku, Frosch, Kanna, Betz (the real one not the obvious impersonator) can stay.
>>564085842josh and his shit clone
>>564085941Proof he thinks it looks good?
ai kinda reinforces that principle behind the loittery: most people are retards and even after being given a fortune they are helplessly tasteless and stupid and just sqander it back to the trailerpark. same with ai games.>here's a super powerful data tool, it can even write code for you!>cool! i am gonna make the ugliest shittiest thing possible with the thinnest, stupidest slice of gameplay allowable by the laws of physicsfun-e that's fun-e
>>564085527https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qwchxSIKEsyou always say this zukjeet, the gamedev industry is 2-3y behind tech which it relies upon, guess what's happening
>>564085980he posts images of it with proud statements attached. how about you prove that you're not a tranny? you got proof of that?
>>564086128I'm not convinced at all, also I'm not showing you my penis fag.
>>564086106>the gamedev industry is 2-3y behind tech which it relies uponwtf no it isn't? game dev is on the bleeding edge and that's what the past like 20 years of heartburn have been about - devs keep getting fucking snookered into the latest get rich quick scheme by hardware manufacturers, game dev fucking moves lockstep with nigvidia and has since like 2002
>>564086340>game dev is on the bleeding edgeYall are still using C# to program and making kiddie scripting languages shut the fuck up
>>564086171you're not convinced that a person would take pride in their ugly ass ai made game?just look at cris, you sir are a retard. don't try to think too hard.

>>564087167yes it is, the bigbacks have taken over and now browns needs "natural hair"
>>564087368...Are you going to pretend I haven't brought it up several times over the last week because I was excited about the barbeque and house party?
>>564079826They want updates? Here's a $5 DLC. They can't afford it? Too bad, I don't work for free, do they work for free? No? Didn't think so.They will praise Eric for free updates on Stardew Valley but turn around and drop $100+ on microtransactions. Man I could see Eric getting near 100% conversion if he went the DLC route. Here's the island update $5. I think he'd have a real easy time selling that. I get it being difficult if you really care about the game but say it's some game solely to make you rich. Hey would you look at that Vampire Survivors has DLC.
>>564087410imagine how grim it is when someone has been rotting in the datacenter for 500 years and are still as much of a nodev

Still need to do something about the fact that you can jump higher than the camera. I've been so hyper-focused on the level design and physics, that I barely even noticed it for so long.

>>564090092Is this soon a 2% game or just a 5% game? I forgetdoubters in shambles
>>564090374Damn that's a haul, so how long was this game in development again? It's gotta be pretty good ROI at this point
>>564090092i still love boomer shooters but honestly for like 6, 8 years now there's been a sub-sub genre of boomer shooters where the shooting is portrayed as just holding rmb and hosing your screen which kind of sucks. even serious sam, the game they don't know they're copying, walked it back and made you use the guns like guns every now and then.

>>564090817Dammit!
Found someone making something awfully similar to my game but with better art but semi different gameplay. Actually it feels very much like a clone of some other game I played like near impeccably so compared to my game.This is not daijoubu! I'm noticing an increase of games that are slowly clawing their way towards what I'm making!
>>564090829>>564090564how did he pull this off? the game is mid, did he just luck out or was there some marketing strat?
The contextual animation plugin unreal came out with is not a very fun way to set up paired animations.
>>564090829I always feel like there's 0 chance the thirdie government doesn't just bang on their door and be like "hey surprise taxes bitch." who would stop them?
>>564090829I remember when MenaRD won capcup for SFV, he's from the DR and won $250k. Someone calculated how much it was for him and it was something like 50 years of working a high paying white collar job, all from one tournament. So I imagine after taxes those $90k will still go a long way
>>564091065qrd?
Anyone else think Wasteland Bites is just a few big streamers away from suddenly going 1000+ reviews in just a few weeks time?
>>564091292Nope, he sold out and found out.
>>564090980his game went viral on shittok, he posted screenshots of his shittok page here oncetranime coomerbait + viral on tiktok + cheap game that's just barely good enough for the average steamie to not refund it = his success.
>>564090965This is why I'm making something nobody in their fucking right mind would make
>>564091292This game is too shallow and repetitive to be interesting for longer than 1 hour. The upgrades are not that impactful and the gameplay is just tedious five nights at freddy's style multi tasking.
>>564091357Cris Simulator?
>>564090965can I see it?
>>564090965everyone is too scared to make the game I'm making.I'm diving into it though. I'm making it.
>>564091169It's a new addon from 5.3 that loads two animations in and mostly handles the motion warping for you. But to use it you have to hit a button to manually refresh the scene inspector and the rotation doesn't match what you get in game at all. Pic related. I had a pretty hard time with it just setting up this one animation, although all the rest should be the same.
>>564091676Why not use the grapple component instead?
>>564091676scuffed wigger link
I'm depressed
>>564091823proof?
>>564091823Hi depressed, I'm dad.
>>564091786I never heard of that.
>>564091357My idea was originally a more shallow but cozy version until I expanded the idea in a direction that is unlikely to be made anytime soon by trend chasers, but man oh man they are getting way too close for comfort. My previous game which got abandoned already has 3 similar games in development with one looking like it may get over 2000 reviews.
>progressFor your enjoyment, i will skip a meme blogpost. I had a game that was spiraling out of control, so now i'm making a smaller game from its pieces.This new game is called RoboTemplar Arena. it's an arcade game where you fight enemy waves and progress through enemy encounters(imagine hades); after each fight you get rewarded, and you choose your next path+reward to go further in the dungeon(again, hades) these levels are one screen for now (imagine classic isaac), and are designed with a random selector to feel fresh and engaging (spelunky)>oh no another roguelite It wont be a roguelite bullshit. No account meta-farming. My idea is to have a fully unlocked experience since your first play, and if you are gud enough you can totally win on your first try>b-b-b-but muh 2h refund!fuck it.
You have just a little over a month left. You are going to make it right?

>>564091580No sis ;_;Posting can increase the odds of it being copied. I'm a slow dev, I need to be close to done with development before I could risk showing it.
>>564091676Fixed
the ussual indiepocalypse cope agdg now uses is the same indiepocalypse cope of 2016-2017, but somehow 2015 was the golden age of indie games and the 2016 indie fags complaining about indiepocalypse were wrong.The reality is that 99.9% of indie games are showelware and only 0.0000001% of them are the money makers.But nothing has changed since the days of cave story.The reality is that your game is likely not good as good as undertale, balatro, stardew valley, cave story, not that the market is saturated with AI slop.

so many times I type out some feedback for devs here that really need a reality check but then delete it because I don't want to break some poor retards reality. plus most people here when faced with feedback just become defensive and scream instead of changing. i'll just say this to no one in particular but if you feel targeted then it's probably for you. if you are not confident in yourself or you don't already know that you're hitting a high bar with your game and your ideas like the other successful indie games you see succeed, you really need to up your game and get good. you can't just fuck around without a vision making a supbar game with supbar art and expect to become successful. you won't become successful just because you make something with the minimum required parts to be considered a game and release it. this isn't to demotivate you, but to motivate you to improve instead of chasing what seems to be every single modern nerds pipe dream whilst putting in the least amount of effort possible.
>>564092859
>>564092859I understand where you're coming from, and it's frustrating when feedback is met with defensiveness or dismissiveness instead of constructive growth. Honesty can sometimes be hard to hear, but ultimately, it's about pushing ourselves to create better, more meaningful work rather than settling for mediocrity. Success in indie game development really does come down to having a clear vision, dedication, and a willingness to improve continuously. Making a game just to tick boxes or meet minimal standards isn't the path to standing out or making a real impact; it’s about striving for quality and originality. While it's easy to get caught up in chasing trends or quick wins, true progress comes from investing genuine effort, learning from failures, and honing your craft. Keep pushing forward, and remember that growth often comes from honest self-assessment and a relentless desire to do better.
>>564089664Ok that is rough. I think you don't understand anatomy at all. And what I mean by that is that you are still drawing symbols of the things you want rather than the thing itself. I would recommend just standing in front of a mirror yourself and actually thinking about how different body parts connect to each other. It will also end up helping when trying to draw from imagination as you start to intuitively understand how things work. Looking at references might not work as you'll likely just subconsciously end up practicing copying rather than anatomy.Also you might want to try this more painterly style of drawing some people (me) use. I can't make good lineart at all, but I can start from a blob and slowly carve it into something good. >>564089937I want to do some DD fanart, but well se who'll get it.

Anyone else think dev's of certain types of games can get screwed over when an overwhelmingly large competitor enters the space and pulls a winner take all (or at least enough to leave the dev in ruins)?Ie Odd Realm vs Dwarf Fortress. Had Dwarf Fortress not shown up on Steam as soon, I could see Odd Realm pulling in a much larger crowd. Instead it has sub 1000 reviews. With Dwarf Fortress now on there, why play Odd Realm when Dwarf Fortress has 15+ years worth of content?

>>564107886How can I pull off becoming a gamedev for an indie company? Going solo is becoming less and less promising. From looking around a lot of these indie companies seem to be located in Canada, Europe, or East Asia. A femdev I've watched on youtube who is clearly not great at game development can somehow work these jobs. Why can't I? Do I need a degree? Why, when her skill pales in comparison to some of the anons on here? I'd be fine pulling a Sokpop/BiteMe, but where do I even find a team of anons wherein we all compliment each other? The Bocchi sisters?

>>564110216let's take a peak underneath, bb
>>564108825Rimworld was on Steam long before Dwarf Fortress arrived, 2016. Whereas Odd Realm was 2019 but in a sparse state of content. Dwarf Fortress had announced coming to Steam in 2019, thought not released until 2022. How many held out for it by then? A full 3 years after Rimworld was already on the platform. Not to mention I suspect Rimworld was far more content heavy when it arrived compared to Odd Realm. Hmm seems Odd Realm was screwed by the fact that it wasn't first to market. Rimworld, regardless of being the first one on there, was content dense. Guess it's circumstances could've been better had Rimworld never appeared rather than just Dwarf Fortress.
>>564110640>changes system timewhat now?
>>564111117but what if my game is about my demented fetishes?
>>564109235Iirc Odd Realm was like $9.99 early on. I doubt that helped financially, probably why it got pushed out of early access after 5 years of that. He should've put more content into the game before early access and then raised the price point to something higher. I've looked at the game before but at the time I initially added it, it had too little content despite looking cool. Now I can't even justify buying it unless there is a really steep discount since I can just go with free Dwarf Fortress and probably find a mod that makes it equivalent to the paid version or just play Rimworld which was massively aided by the funding it received via selling copies of the game. One of those things where it becomes a feedback loop and helps your game grow faster and better.>those timesI would not be surprised if the majority of sales for Dwarf Fortress are just normies who heard about the game and primarily bought it so they could be part of the crowd. More so a social purchase rather than genuine interest in playing the game.

A lot of fetishes can be put in games in a hidden way without alienating anyone, but a lot of people decide to make their entire game about their fetish instead.
>>564098806for 3d environments where its supposed to be "top down" you should always be able to pan by dragging the mouse, rotate by using middle mouse button, and also use WASD/QEjust because its awkward dragging the around the screen for a few seconds expecting it do something before trying the keyboard, i think what specific things you try first is mostly trained by what 3d software youve used, like eg trying middle click or right click to rotate but whateverthis is also in the main view because im trying to click a gobling wedged underneath the button panel, its not too much of a problem in the small map but on bigger maps...it would also be nice to see where you enemies can move to, i assume its the same as your own units but I cant be assumed remembering such as big radius on my unitsi like the cute item shop but i will kill you if this is some cringe "rougelite" thing
I don't intend to put my fetishes into my game because I don't need them to tell what I need to
>>564115435>He's making a game to "tell something"Actually worse than the guys putting their fetishes in their games.
>>564115289>A lot of fetishes can be put in games in a hidden way without alienating anyoneWhere's the fun in that?
>>564115673Not really.I just don't think my fetishes work with the game's style
>>564115882>Not really.Yes it is.Games are an entertainment medium, not a communication medium, they're not made to "tell something". Porn however is a form of entertainment so it's closer to video games than a message is.
>>564115745The money you make from making a popular game instead of a niche fetish game.
