loli rape sim dev edition
If you don't provide weekly updates on your $2 game for at least 5 years after release, you will be review bombed
So... I'm tired of being a gamedev failure. Can you guys give me a roadmap to make a good game? It can be a 200 reviews type of good game.6 year already in this jobby and only made like US$ 30..
imagine a game with mechs. And a fully destgructible enviroment.
>>564124158I already got that set up. Automated AI updates. I ain't gotta do shit.
>>564124220Make your Dream Game and slice it up along the way into bite-sized chunks which all build forward toward your dream game.So that your dream game becomes a content generator as you build toward it.

I decided that I'm making Bad Company 3, but the shitty low-budget indie version.
>>564124842lets see it
>>564125028NTAIdk what was wrong with me in 2025. I was actually considering making a Godot 3D Platformer Conker's Bad Fur Day-like.Now my mind is healthy.
>>564124220If I were a gamedev grifter I would use koikatsu to generate me the 2D renders, and then try to export those models into blender and then export to godot using some animation library like mixamo.Then I would just make a popular anime porn crossover, like sailor moon * one piece * DBZ * naruto * evangelion and then make something like a porn version of vampire survivors roguelite with super ppppu fatalities, using a mobile touch single hand input.And then use music from those shows.Then basically create a patreon for it.
HE won, i dont even need to say his name you already know who it is
>>564125167https://store.steampowered.com/app/3609320/Bombun/Why didn't you?
I saw this in Jargon and wanted to add it, basic game stats for a player to build up over time.It's been a few days after release, and I've made ~200$ and gotten 4 positive reviews. This is about what was expecting, and what the data predicted. I do feel a good sense of satisfaction watching the playtime stats tick up, or achievements get completed. I'm not sure how many more patches I'll push, probably just any big fixes or balance if people really complain.I'm not sure if I'll do another game or not, I have a few ideas I've been kicking around, but will probably need to lock in for IRL stuff coming up. I'll probably just take a couple months off.
>>564125236My spiritual beliefs changed while I was on an Icelandic Cruise in August 2025 to Mid September 2025.
>>564125317Yeah seeing a man jump overboard will change a person.
I'm throwing a Clown Themed Mansion Party when all this is said and done. Many people from here are invited.
>>564125252With all of your accumulated skills, it's time for you to take revenge for us former tactics devs and finish West Marches.
>>564125551I'm coming whether I'm invited or not, BUBBA
>>564125646You're probably invited already lol. We'll be dressed as clowns and Notch and Eric and Jon Blow are also invited.
I spent january february march and april mostly sleeping
>>564125857are you a hibernating mammal? Lol
>>564125857same, and this was supposed to be the year i get back on track.
so addicted to vibecoding i didnt eat today outside breakfast
>>564125857>>564126015This year has already out paced and out done my last 2 years combined.For some reason, 2024 and 2025 were intensely horrible for me dev wise. I was in some sort of labyrinth.
>>564124069hell yeah nigga
>>564125609The thought of looking at that old code was actually physically painful. But really, that project made me realize how important a story is to FE games. When they are just faceless mongs it loses the appeal fast. It also makes all the levels feel very samey, without story gimmicks. The AI tech I used for the portraits has gotten way better though. The creator posted this today.
>>564126517rolling to rape the bottom left. need a 4 or above
>>564126517just gotta fix the eyes and give it a sick color palate instead of straight brown and grey. also change up the face proportions, unless they are all brothers
>>564126015>>564126175Do you guys have a day job
>>564124220Same. 7 years here, about a $2500 loss. I've made more than a year's salary gambling on the stock market last year alone. Getting real hard justifying this time consuming jobby. Should the next or current game fail, undecided whether 1 or 2 more games, then it's towel time. 250 reviews or better in a year's time otherwise I'm done with this.
>>564127771
>>564127535I am the latter poster you replied to.I graduated from College in 2024 with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science and have been just working on my game. And yeah, 2024 and 2025 were horrible for me. I messed up. I failed those years. Now I am doing great.
>>564124220start with pong
>>564128307>Computer ScienceHow's the job market for that? Gamedev is looking like a bust for me but the CS field seems bleak and I don't want to waste 2 years going back only for it to be pointless.
>>564128683Sorry, I don't know. I just work on my game.
>>564127932>7 yearshave you been unemployed all that time? how often do you work on the game?
Can I ask a programming related question I'm struggling with here, or should I go somewhere else?
>>564129016You can ask here, but you should also ask AI.
>>564129073Ok yeah I'll ask ai first. It's probably something really simple and stupid
>>564127932full of shit imo, finance bro don't think like this. Lets see your portfolio
>>564123957that was exactly what i was going to do.Basically you can buy safe stats at the shop or gamble for more powerWhat other gameplay would you suggest.>>564126517Fellow tactics autist?

>>564129776I'm sick of your shit Cris. I'm gonna beat your ass up.
>>564128903Mostly unemployed. It has actually been about 7 and a half years of gamedev to be more precise. And I don't work very consistently and the amount worked varies a lot.>>564129415You'll just have to trust me, I am not posting it.
>>564129016Honestly just ask AIHere you'll just get bad answers and insults
give gamers what they want
the nagging temptation to make an isometric Diablo looking orb-like...
>>564129776please stop. my fuck has been blown out too much lately, I need a break to recover. estoy mamado
>>564130437
I am depressed now
>>564130676Hi depressed now, I'm dad.
what about 2DHD but it's like 1bit characters with no pixel animations and only a single sprite/frame
will it flop?
>>564133394yes. the audience are busy making actual MMOs
>>564133394They really love slop games. >incremental shit>streamer baitand of course slop channel giving advice without any kind of experience, nor credibility. It's literally just >have a fun game>post clip where you do something cool and hope it goes viralthat's it
>>564133394No, it's going to be a massive success and propel biteme game into household name status.
>>564125252Make Eco Balance 2: The Rebalancing
>>564133394I don't know what a flop would be considered for this game. depends on how long it took to make. I'd wager this gets a few hundred sales at $3-5
>>564133791I have thought about going back over it for a quality pass, and fixing things like the leaderboard and such that broke. It wouldn't be a serious project though.
>>564133394Not a /made it/ game but not a flop either. Probably will get like 400 reviews in the first month. They should price it at 9.99, 4.99 seems like it'd be a big mistake. Idk what they will be pricing it at.
gonna get a burger flipping job and start learning art
>>564134792Who the fuck still cares about reviews? A game can have high reviews but low sales if it gets a lot of meme reviews, median playtime and steamcharts are the only things we can rely upon.
DAMMIT
I hate coding. I just want to draw sprites and background art
>>564135739Are you retarded?
Ultrakill got popular because it mixed concepts in an original way.Try to think of something original, and your game will have a better chance at success.
JOSHUAFYGOONthat's the xeet
>>564126517You don't have to look at the old code. Start from scratch.

Vampire crawlers is pretty good. this dev keeps mogging me.....
>>564137481prompt?
not sure where else to ask this but what are my options for selling a porn game? I figure I have to follow local laws and steam rules for steam, is it the same with itch? is it hard to sell on dlsite if I'm not japanese?
>>564138212You're mentally ill.
>>564138212porn games don't really get sold they get gatekeeped behind patreon but you need to follow their rules, no loli no incest
>>564138276guessing what my medications are is more fun than your game
>>564138212steam and itch have demonstrated that their content guidelines are dictated by visa and mastercard. so the only question worth considering in regards to them is whether visa and mastercard will like it.
>>564138619kanye warned about this
I did this for shits and giggles and as an animation exercise.
>>564138874breedable
>>564138212DLSite has foreign developer specific conditions, forget loli you cannot even submit highschoolers. On money, their fees at most pricepoints are even higher than Steam and the threshold for them to send you a payment is 2 or 3 times higher too.
>>564135739Easiest way to benchmark, if it helps I'm assuming 14k copies
>>564138874team up with maid cafe dev
>>564139742No
>>564138340>>564139443Noted, thanks. I was mostly curious because there's a bunch of fetishes that are illegal to sell in my country even though they're fine in other upstanding white countries, Japan aside, but I guess if money is being sent to my bank account, it can't really be helped unless there's a workaround with Patreon or with a publisher.
Well this sucks
I need to learn how to texture shit
Can display movement, its tricky because theres a three action system for movement, its also probably not strictly accurate since there will be movement abilities that might change how that worksOne idea i had was to make them transparent based on how many actions it would take to reach that point but the decal system im using is sperging out so i cant for now.also added middle mouse rotation and mouse panning>>564126517Can anyone post some gameplay/images of west marches?Or at least give me a run down?
>>564139885you could release for free and direct them to a donation method. even with that you need to be careful, all it takes is someone looking to cause shit to report you to the donation platform... probably best to keep a few layers of abstraction for protection, especially if it's illegal in your home nation.
Where's Kannadev?
>>564142108That's an interesting idea. Are there examples of this working?
>>564142421no idea but it will definitely work better than nothing.
>>564142395I'm here. I'm trying to fix an issue with the reload animation transition. Why?
>>564142108I didn't read whatever you just said but I want you to know that I hope your cock gets bit by a weird Australian bird or Jelly fish the next time you get in the ocean.
>>564142821How the hell did you texture your models? What resolution?How did you make it not blurry?Because I've been just trying to color shit in, and it looks like garbage.
>>564142821Why don't you post progress any more?
>>564124129kill yourself
>>564143214yes mam sir
>>564143000256x256 resolution, I switched to 128p recently. I don't use any filtering so it looks sharp but that's for PS1 graphics, PS2 does use texture filtering so maybe you are using really low resolutions?>>564143095But I do?
>>564127932How do I get into stock market gambling? I feel like that might be easier than gamedev.
>>564124767Yeah tell me about it
>>564130539can you make the art? can you make a game that's on the level of diablo? there's no point in copying something if you're just gonna do it worseToK did alright but making a mediocre clone shouldn't be a goal
>>564142821kill yourself
>>564143371My texture is fucking 512x512 and it's still... That.I fucked up, didn't I?
>>564143647nigga what are you doing.Open up a blender tutorial right now
>>564143734Everything wrong, it seems!
>>564143647left side is an UV issuealso with the green bleeding here it means your UV islands are too close
>>564143858I actually agree
>>564133394Marnix mentioned that he failed to get streamers and youtubers to play it. It's a very niche concept, so it's hard to say
>>564142821
>>564143892>>564143783>>564143858>>564143734Now that I think about it, I think the problem came from how I unwrapped this shit.Automatic doesn't work, using seams was still really inconsistent, and so on.I'm a total and utter beginner when it comes to texturing, with zero skills in using the Texture Paint tool, and I think that a good start would just be "Unwrapping it in a more consistent way.
Hi! You may know me as one of the thread schizos. I'm proud to say I am recovering and posting progress never.You may now proceed with your nodevving.
>>564144315Why does everyone here seem to hate Kannadev?He's>Got an actual game that he works on>Isn't a dick to everyoneHe seems pretty unproblematic for lack of a better term.
>>564144414It's just a couple of vocal posters, just ignore them. Engaging with them often leads to thread derailment.
Making a cover for the OST of Guns and Nuns.
>>564144414>Oh and he rapes children
>>564144324Also try to mirror some parts of the UV mesh to save on some space. Here for example only half of the pants are texture so the other side is mirrored, same for shoes and sleeves. Your face should use more space since it has the most detail too.
I gave vibecoding a serious shot for the first time this weekend, and I was really impressed. We managed to create 5 reasonable prototypes between the 3 of us, and we polished one of them for release. They were all programmer art in html/JS, but still felt quite nice to play. I also tried out Godot MCP, but it produced significantly buggier results.Interesting note to anyone who's interested in try this for themselves: the workflow we discovered that worked the best for collaboration is to just write out prompts in a google doc and let the one dude who's paying for Claude Max to submit a large batch of prompts at once as an update.md file.
>>564144616>no nipple bulge
Holy shit, using AI to help with programming is so good. Google Gemini is helping out so much. Thank you to whoever suggested I use AI for this
>>564144741what if I told you that (You) are holding the AI back and that it would perform even better if you simply told it to make a fun innovative game with no further input?
>>564145095>what if I told you that (You) are holding the AI back and that it would perform even better if you simply told it to make a fun innovative game with no further input?
I just wish lil 'shua wasn't such a raging faggot who ruined AI posting for the rest of us.>>564145095We did a few of those on our test runs. They were pretty simple arcade games.

Guys I need some feedback please. I've been working on a poker game and, since it's my first game ever, I thought I'd try keep it small but also make the best possible game I can. Really unsure as to whether this game can be marketable or even sellable, since it's a multiplayer poker game with these weird characters and some cool abilities you can do to enhance gameplay, but again I'm doubting myself since I have just been doing things with no idea if it's good or not. Been at it since I started learning game dev mid last year.It's on Steam but I've only received 70 or so wishlists (haven't put any effort into marketing yet thought). Also I have no idea how to price it (currently $6 USD but again, no clue at all)
>>564144616Neat>>564144729So I gotta manually adjust my UV, correct?Also he doesn't have a face. I think the most detail is gonna have to go to the coat because it's the largest part of his body
>>564145342There's a pretty stark difference between simply using AI and full on vibe coding. I didn't read or write a single line of code all weekend and managed to produce 5 video games reasonably within my specs.
>>564145853>There's a pretty stark difference between simply using AI and full on vibe coding. I didn't read or write a single line of code all weekend and managed to produce 5 video games reasonably within my specs.
i need motivation
>>564145853
>>564145960Wrong. You need discipline.
>>564146458Can't the former create the latter?To be so utterly driven to do something that you push through all obstacles?
>>564146617Motivation is fleeting. Discipline is forever. Be harder on yourself.
>>564146096The average "American" (illegal mexican) new construction looks exactly like this.
>>564146617Motivation can get you started but discipline gets you to the finish line.If you've already started then anon is right and you need discipline.If you haven't started and nothing motivates you to even do that, then you may have to accept your fate as a non-starter.
>>564145960just get motivated?
>>564146818Is there such a thing as too hard on yourself?
>>564144414Man I wish /agdg/ was better at pattern recognition. It's primarily 2 anons both of which are severely mentally ill. Both seem more preoccupied complaining then actually working on their games.

Dreary Monday but I'm feeling great. Had some sloppy but delicious and delectable chocolate and banana cake after breakfast and I remembered what being happy is like. It's pretty good, I recommend it.Had only 4 hours of sleep, down from 5 hours the previous night, so I thought why not start on a big and complex system I've been putting off for weeks? Who knows, maybe I can knock it out in a couple of days. Wouldn't be the first time.136 days left before my savings run dry and my full-time gamedev career ends.
>>564142948this you? >>564061853

The other day I helped a neighbor clean out their garage and I got some cake from them and I sang its praises so loudly that I got another cake just because.
>>564147518because you know its hopeless and you'll have nothing to show for all that work.
>>564147939Is it
>>564145370I recommend making deepfried memes of engineerman and posting them everywhere (with the games name in the meme somehow). Lean into the weird.
>>564144729Is this a slightly better starting point?
>>564147843>I'm currently 6kg over BMI of 25
>>564148354you're gonna have texture bleeding issues in the pink areas and the eye area is still far too condensed and the UV doesn't represent the geometry for the square eye
>>564148559I said starting point. Where would you suggest I move it all?
>>564148689scale them down so they fit, you are not overlapping the mirrored portions at all and the square eye probably needs to be seamed and flattened for the UV or else it will remain fucked
>>564148887So scale them correctly and unwrap the visor eye
>>564133394I'm guessing it will sell 6K copies in the first month and 18K in the first year. Enough to be a moderate financial success and give themselves 1-2 more years of runway.
>>564133394No I've seen it covered in all sorts of places

Added gambling to the game.My idea for the loop is you can either pay for safe upgrades (extra damage, more health,etc).Or gamble for more money and cool upgrades (lifesteal for example)I think more needs to be done to make sure it feels like a good balance. I'll upload it for testing hopefully i get some feedback on the general loop and if they i recieve positive feed back on the idea ill develop it more

chuds, BTFO.
>>564152320if you show it to people you gotta commit
It doesn’t feel possible
>>564124220The solution is easy. If you wanna make a good game, make what you think is a good game. If you case that moneybag your decisions will be screwed.Of course the good game you choose to make must be something you think you can make in 6-months.Last step, go find your audience and let them know your game exists. Not because you are chasing that money bag, but because you think your game is good.

i feel like some people spend years theorycrafting how to get water out of an empty well instead of just accepting the fact that it's empty. i think the problem is when someone has an empty well, but it's the only well he has. i think that type of situation makes people delusional. it's like falling into water on an open ocean and having 0 chance of rescue and then all the delusions kick in about finding an island or a ship passing.i feel like the brain goes crazy when it's forced to make something out of nothing. and i don't mean that in a "crazy genius" sense that you come up with insane new ideas. you literally just go crazy. some people even start believing in angels, god, tarot cards, crystal balls and reading hand lines.

>>564156770Le commercial man upended all of religion and mythology by observing 30 years of human history vs stories passed down and retold over 7000 years before it was eventually compiled, studied and elaborated upon for another 1500 years.
>>564157105>first principles thinkingI'm evidence that having planned it and having done it before and having a good track record and portfolio and everything else is still hit and a miss at best and more likely a total crapshoot
>>564157212Modern fantasy/fiction competes in a red ocean that the old stories never had to overcome. And we know of those old stories not because they're so compelling and fun but because historians and academics and archeologists made them a subject of study.
Got some basic 3D rendering set up, plus a debug console and transform hierarchy in my game engine.
i think making a game is luck when you try something new. but when you directly compete in an existing genre it becomes easier to make predictions. you can compare graphics, you can compare features, you can compare QoL/ease of use, you can compare creativity of the world, you can compare if the lore makes sense etc."measuring who wins" mostly happens in direct comparisons/competitions.doing something new is more creative/subjective and up to early adopters if it'll get more popular.
>triangle rendering posting but more often and faster due to AIgreat
I´m making a top down twin stick shooter roguelite for a course(irl not recorded). Can someone give me ideas for the setting? Having just a bunch of capsules would be lame for the final product showcase and my own ideas aren´t suitable for all ages education/portfolio purposes for trying to teach the course on other places
make a unique game if you wanna try winning the lottery, try hard to compete with existing games if you wanna win by bruteforce.
>>564157554Narrative and mythos are not the same thing, they study old stories because of their mythos not because the narrative is compelling. In a time when reading and writing was rare and the ability to write compelling stories rarer still that was often the only deciding factor so it got hyperfocused into that one domain.It's kind of like saying it's useless to study and develop boardgames because pong was more compelling at one point, there are theoretically around 10300 states in Pong but only 3-4 that matter, in Chess it's estimated there are 10^46 after playing 7 moves and there are 960 starting setups.

>>564158198>there are theoretically around 10300 states in Pong but only 3-4 that matter, in Chess it's estimated there are 10^46 after playing 7 moves and there are 960 starting setups.in both games what makes it interesting or boring is the players. combinatorial analysis is completely pointless when it's left to players.

Iliterate plebbitor sharing his liberal proffesor opinion that capeshit is modern mythology wants to compare cosmological myths, fairy tales, legends, religious ancient mythology that deals with topics such as proto philosophy, cosmology, theology, morality, history, natural disasters to fucking hentai doujins where goku travels back in time to fuck chi chi and milk and pan as lolies.Wtf.

does it matter if i believe hitting 2 rocks together makes fire cause it makes a sound that travels through the ether and make the fire ghosts angry, therefore they ignite a flame, or if they make fire because of physics? if the result is the same?you don't need to know how something works, just which actions it requires.
>I've been arguing with cris this whole timethat's enough aggy for me for today
>>564159937>just which actions it requires.How do you acquire more such useful actions, if you don't understand the basics?

>>564157606There is always an X factor that makes predictions to go array.Potter was turned down from almost every publisher ever, and if you take account of the overall lore and magic rules of all seven books everyone can agree that's almost laughable.But that fucking X factor of "boarding school but you learn magic" for kids made wonders, and created a new entire genre that was milked for a decade.In some sense Potter is the shitty proto-roguelite that no one ever saw succedingAnd now we are about to have a shit remake divided in multiple parts with DEI casting.
>>564160395kek 3/10
>>564160832Cool. I bet your wife is cuter.
i haven't found a single gamedesign/gamedev video on youtube yet about making actual combat. it's always more on the visual side, but never about actual stats, balancing and actually picking numbers. e.g. i've seen stuff talking about elemental damage, but not about specific values.deciding on the actual numbers is the hard part.ofc there wont be an absolute truth to what those numbers have to be. but there could at least be concept that guide how you pick actual numbers. or ranges. or a context that affects how you pick those numbers.
>>564160978That's/tg/ shit, not videoames.
isometric games are just beautiful. it's like having a 3D game with ultra high poly count and the only con is the fixed perspective.
zomboid might enter the top 50 of most sold video games of all time
When i was 16 i was groomed by a community of ERPing furries most of which were 30-40 to erp with them and they all tried to make me troon out but i didn't and left. Aggydaggy feels strangely similar to that place except without the sucking and fucking
>>564161420Hey anon, you should really post progress.
>>564161420>but i didn't and leftgood on you. i know someone who stayed with the erping furries and eventually got the chop
>>564161420when i was 16 i was playing football with my friends and far cry and counter-strike source online. on the weekends we also went to the beach and drank alcohol.ngl i'm almost crying, i'm so lonely these days...
>>564160978I can give some insight since my game is focused on combat.Balancing is the last thing you do, because you have to make sure your code works and dosen't throw spaghetti in chaotic situations.More than numbers, your balance should be set on the feeling you wanna give while fighting. If you kill an enemy in ten hits, or 2 that feel changes.Also the balance changes depending on your enemies: imagine a slider where one side is dynasty warriors musou, on the other a dark soul boss. More complex enemies of course need more life, otherwise they can't show all their skills and shit; dw fodder soldiers can be killed by the dozen with one hit. Again it's a matter of what feeling you wanna have, and what kind of fantasy you wanna invoke when playing your chara
>>564160954is that your face when you try on a female wig?
>>564160978copy the stats of a game that is similar to yoursadjust as needed
>>564161420hello betz!
sims 3 animations are kinda impressive.when you cook food items are spawning mid animation, particle effects when you stir ingredients in a bowl, particle effects to show emotions, all synced with sounds playing at the right time, and the bowl that spawned mid animation remains in your hand after the animation is done.it'd be really interesting to see a breakdown video on the scripts/animation setup, doing something similar in unity/unreal.

>>564133810lol
>>564160978good game design tip: dont use numbers, use booleans or states (and dont let them become like numbers either)your players don't, in their heart, want to be counting hits like it's sesame street, balancing how much counting they're doing is Titanic furniture arranging
>>564165126thats pretty good for being released for 2 hours.>>564164919Being a small gamedev isnt being a grifter. their previous games all flopped, and they've been putting in the work. you can look down on them for the genre of games they make, but they unironically workmog you nodevs

>>564165471I definitely appreciate their hustle. I guess I have a pretty comfortable life, so the idea of churning out games in genres that the """gamedev community""" has deemed to have a maximum revenue-to-effort ratio seems really unfulfilling. I guess if you're sweating your bank account when opening up your game engine, that changes things. to me that seems like a miserable way to work on a project

Literally 0 courses, are honest about their financials, and they arent dishonest about their successes and failures, and their output is actually impressive. >>564166004idk how they do it either. I cant make games I dont care about. one thing they did say was how much they loved making MMO98, moreso than their previous games, and it shows. they spent a lot of time doing a lot of small shit for the game that most people wont notice.I'm not tryna glaze, but i just hope all devs, aggy or not, make it. they've been struggling for years, so it's a good thing if this game makes it. no crabs in the bucket plzzz>>564166283kek
