my game's credit will feature every single steam user that let a positive review on my game
>>565063815Might be time for a YT channel and xitter for dev blogs. Don't raid it too hard aight
>>565064010How? You plan on manually adding them or scraping somehow?
>>565064265It doesnt matter. I'll just do it.
>>565064010>scrape names of reviewers>put them on the names of good faction(' the absolute chads') npcs in the game >put names of negative reviewers on the bad faction('the poo lickers')this cant' go wrong
it might be over for slopdevshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/590830/sbox/
>>565064056it's been too long, I haven't tried your game yet.. I made a whole new game since this pic, and have my steam page ready to go and all
>>565065310>steam roblox
>>565004782Nta but it reminded me of Stalker SOC when I was at the end of the game jumping around and stuff after the monolith

>>565065968he should team up with McMillen
>>565065310>watch it>realize the ramifications this has for friendslop and dopamine gamesErr guysssss? This is bad, this one game is about to wreck so many games odds of success in one fell swoop
>>565065393*oh and I look forward to your devblog! I forgot to say
>>565065310can you sell code/assets with this
>>565065310I wish this hadn't been made. Many of these friendslop and dopamine slop devs are going to leak into other genres and make my odds worse!
>>565065484Gogem prefers roblox despite their 70% revenue cut and pdf playerbase because Gabencunt didn't allow him to shill his Patreon for one paypig on his steam page
>>565066181>paid based on playtimeshort incredible game devs... not like this...
>>565066450Lol, this ensures friendslop gets filtered because it's all about short playsessions for dopamaxxed kids and working adults. If you want to make money off S&box you have to create boardgames and incremental/idle games in which case there's no reason to use it.
>>565066670I'll just make the idlest of idlers. leave your pc on overnight, all week, and it will slowly reveal hentai images. like the 56k days.
>>565066860You could turn that into a Schedule 1 type game, be porn addict hackerman in the late 90s
Lethal company cloners not like this!!!!!!!
you guys know that play time means total play time and not just a single session, right?do you really think that friendslop has small play times?
>>565066980Since it's facepunch doing it, it's not unreasonable to suggest this was revenge for killing Garry's Mod with the friendslop genre
>>565067083even peak is only 12 hours average. dedicated mmo98 players played longer than that
>>565067083Significantly less than story games or live service games.
>>565067447nice, is it voxels or heightmap?
>>565067447nice bouncelight
>>565067447I fucked up the terrain generation and I don't know how to fix it so now instead of smooth dunes I have jagged rocky ones, I hope aggy can forgive me.

Why did he try to take our games?
>>565065310>$20LOL
My game sucks and I would question the judgement of anyone who buys itHow the fuck do I market with this kind of doomer mindset? Everything I do sucks because I made it.
>>565069552why does it suck? what can you do to make it better? need any help?
i find it weird how complicated it is to setup input in game engines, even though input is really the core foundation of a video game. it's basically everything. imagine your game having no keyboard and mouse input. nothing works. it's basically not a game anymore.yet in unity i make a mouse click on a button, yet it doesn't automatically "eat" the input so it doesn't trickle down to the game input.also setting up something like rimworld where you both interact with the world and the ui at the same time is annoying, because the input system would rather have you switch between UI input and Game input the way it is designed. or you click on a button and it always "grabs focus", so you have to work around that clicking tab afterwards doesn't "jump to next ui element", but rather the game recognizes "tab" again and e.g. opens the inventory.then also important for input are mouse cursors. it's so annoying to setup mouse cursors between ui and game. e.g. in ui toolkit i can set a cursor on hover. yet setting this up also clashes with other scripts again that set the cursor in the "game world". sometimes you end up with a cursor that isn't what you currently want.also in general UI is also an input. pressing a UI button isn't different from pressing a keyboard button. therefore i think UI should be handled as an input stage, not as "UI".just like you can ask each frame "was left mouse button pressed", you should be able to ask "was upgrade unit pressed?". ofc you can kinda do this and callbacks exist. but the whole system is definitely not designed to treat ui as "input" like i described.
I'm fairly certain 3 or 4 posters here are greater demons mentioned in solomons key. There's probably many posters who are lesser demons too. How do we get rid of the demons plaguing the thread?
>>565065393>>565066243You're too kind anon. I'm slow as hell because I stubbornly don't follow the prototyping workflow of "make it ugly, but make it all work first". I like things to be finished as I go, which is less efficient but it gives me more satisfaction
>>565065310>no osx support
>>565069661hey, if you have the time, indulge! I used to do it too, elaborate pixel animation death scenes before I'd even built a single level. good times.
>>565069552Learn to do things right instead of looking for shortcuts all the time
>>565069626I never had these issues I just tell my ai that something isn't working until it's working
i'm way more intelligent than ai
>>565070041I'd be worried if you weren't
>>565069626for a good while you needed something like rewired for unity too lmao
>>565070041what's 9 plus 10?
>>565070305910
>>565070305Twentyone
>>565069327i would gladly pay $20 for something that filters even 1 nigger (you)
>>565070383u stoopit
>>565070041AI is not intelligence, it's an auto-complete. It can't learn, only weigh probabilities on what to do next based on what information it has.It sees "I went to", checks it against its database, sees that "the" has a 99% probability of being next, so it prints "I went to the", and then the cycle repeats.More advanced AIs do this on entire blocks, not word by word, but that's the gist.
My game will have big booty femboys with small pps in it. Will yours?
>>565070558>AI is not intelligence, it's an auto-complete.listen, parroting this same bullshit 5 years later is like sounding off a retard alarm.forgive me if you were being ironic
@grok how true is this &
>>565070895trolololo
i seem to wake up around the same time as the neverdevs
bring on the AI jannies hroshimoot. agdg can be great again.
>>565070620I guess
>>565070558>AI is not intelligence
>>565071967Didn't you see the news recently that some company that entrusted Claude with their codebase and Claude deleted everything they had within 9 seconds of being given control? AI jannies would permaban you for something ridiculous like calling someone an idiot
>>565072215>>565071317
>>565071938hmmmmmm
>>565072079Let's fucking go! Post a pic of them when you add them
>criticizes AI but doesn't understand how it works or its potential
>>565065968nortubel says this then draws his shotas and lolis with huge asses
day 5 of writing my game.writing minions.c right now and then spells.
>>565072291well it could just mean that one of the neverdevs is a eastcoaster
skills don't matter much in gamedev.proof? Eric Barone, the game developer who made Stardew Valley. you may have heard of him or his game if you're in the "biz". well he also made the Android game AirPear that completely flopped. and he had the same skills that he had when he was making Stardew Valley. therefore? SKILLS DON'T MATTER!!! AHAHAHAHAskillcopers btfo, talentcopers btfoI'm sorry if I just gave you PTSD but you had to face this truth HAHAHA
>>565072235don't even need a ban. just read a reply, see if it's ontopic. and delete if not, or not even let it through. We'd invent new slurs the AI doesn't know I suppose though. curbsniffer.
Quick question, how much do inconsistent pixel sizes on things like textures bother you guys in videogames? My game is kind of all over the place looking at it and while I don't mind and even like it, I'm not sure if that's gonna be a problem point for some people.
>>565072726just copy a game made by people more skilled than you for years until you catch up to them in skill! and get lucky that the game you picked hits the cultural zeitgeist in the nuts
>>565072848doesn't bother me any more. used to a little, but my favorite games are where I noticed them... favorite.. so they did enough right eh? don't sweat stuff like that.
>>565072848>inconsistent pixel sizesif youre using ai i would lean into slick assets. but if you struggle to make consistent artstyles and whatnot, it's probably not a terrible idea
>>565072235i dont believe this story. why were they using 4.6 when 4.7 has been out for like weeks
>>565072848Depends if it's inconsistent because it's in 3D or if it's inconsistent despite being 2D, if it's the latter it definitely does not look good.
>>565070620I look like this
>>565073667>>565073165>>5650729723D, and I don't use AI for anything art related. I'm usually pulling textures by taking snippets of real photos from the internet and editing them as required. Is AI art stuff normal now? (I am out of touch)
>>565074063It's very normal, every AAA and AA game uses AI textures, in places like Japan where the copyright law is more strict it's lead to a lot of lawsuits.
>>565074229A lot of the games I see perusing places like Steam and Itch don't disclose it, even though I think they're supposed to. Is it something a lot of people and studios don't admit to?
>>565074063AAA are using AI for background assets(paintings/posters). gamers don't really care , if they want the game, they will excuse whatever practices. I remember "boycots" over games in the past and then come release everybody is playing it kek
>>565074380Half the time they don't even know they're using it because they contracted someone using AI or they bought an asset pack which was AI generated in an attempt to be more legitimate. They're definitely supposed to disclose it but the premise is retarded, the burden of proof is on the accuser not the accused, how do you prove beyond reasonable doubt something is AI generated?
>>565073613>he updates everything immediately
>>565073862Zamn what game are you making? I want to impregnate your bussy
>>565074520>how do you prove beyond reasonable doubt something is AI generated?it's getting harder. I'm sure many are getting away with nobody noticing. and may have for years now if they were clever.
>>565074520I suppose it is entirely possible that I could have part of an AI image floating around in my game anyway. I'll look into it but honestly building textures out of random pictures is one of my favorite parts of my work flow, would kind of be sad to replace it with prompting. I also have a dogshit GPU and couldn't run anything locally
>>565074846Theoretically that gets you into more trouble than AI generating
>>565066374imagine being this guy and letting a shitposter from the general live rent free in your head like this
game idea: a visual novel about a romantic story where a blonde woman finds a romantic partner in a golden retriever
>>565074846>building textures out of random pictures is one of my favorite parts of my work flowsame. there are some textures that are a bit out of reach(big scifi/industrial stuff), and AI is very tempting. but figuring out how to fake stuff is fun.
>>565074950not if he takes the photos from an old texture CD from the 90s, nobody would ever know. as if some artist would catch a tiny scratch pattern on some font or whatever? nah
>>565075185*autist
>>565075185Or you just use cc0 stock photos
>>565065310Does it allow multiplatform low-level keyboard hooks? If not I am not worried
>>565072527that guy hates the z-fighters
>>565075064Glad to see someone else enjoys the process I got called an autist retard for enjoying. I particularly enjoy using pexels as well for an extra challenge, since I swear to god that entire website is ragebait designed to make people go buy stock photos and images instead.
>>565074617yeah i update everything immediately sometimes i get burnt and sometimes i dont
>>565075185wouldn't be the first time I guess
>>565070620i dont have to stoop to such depths for attention
>>565075185the only single example i can think of of someone getting in trouble for using these CDs unauthorized is capcom with resident evil 4, which is what you were referring at.and even in that case, capcom resolved it without getting into too much trouble.
seems like youtube is really good at pruning views now
>>565065310Do you have to buy this now to be a developer on it?
>>565075547say hello to my little FOR THE EMPEROR
>>565075547This brings to mind there was some Japanese game that Richard Garriott wanted to bring to the western market back in the day and when he went into the meeting and the Japs showed off their game it was full of art that was traced from Ultima so he sued them.
>>565054814wow thanks for the lore anon. i knew it meant something like "just make a a game" but i couldnt clock the L feelsgoodman
>>565075989yes but apperantly steamies are already having melties over all the ai slop on the platform.seems like garycunt isn't interested in controlling the quality of it, so i'll leave you with the conclusions.
the reason ai is so braindead is because when you translate reality into words you have an extreme data loss. therefore ai is trained absolutel braindead data.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_overshadowingsame reason why teaching is so much less effective than just being around a role model. words are very good for communicating abstract things, but very bad for communicating reality.
>>565075185Many of these are free now anyway because regular textures like that without built in scripting are considered obsolete by corpos.Or at least the entire early 90s pixar libary is https://opengameart.org/content/pixars-textures
>>565076382had to see

Does estrogen make you better at gamedev
zimedit keeps crashing, but i got minions pathfinding now. also refactored a lot of testing stuff i had.
>>565080739only if you start as a male
who is tomodev im not a regular
>>565081061it's the gabencunt poster
i constantly question why i don't go outside and if it's social anxiety or laziness or stuff like that. but when it stop it with the self-blaming and constantly trying to criticize me, i just notice there is nothing to do outside. there are no activities i want to do, no people i want to meet, no things to explore, nothing to do. especially cause my town is full of old people (seems to be a general problem in germany). maybe the reason i got into gamedev is cause i'm just bored and don't know what the fuck to do all day.
>>565076480I really don't care about the platform beyond some minor testing. It's the steam release capability that's interesting.
>>565081264you don't have a cool enchanted forest where you live with epic quests to go on and dragons to kill and maidens to rescue and fuck? i always hit up my local enchanted forest after work to have fun
>>565081419as of right now you can't export games officially unless you get explicit permission from garycunt.and even then it seems like even if gabencunt will allow it, you will still need to be approved manually by garycunt, then valve, and THEN you pay the $100 steam fee, because if you use source 2 externally the steam release is mandatory.
>>565081676>you will still need to be approved manually by garycunt, then valveThey really need to get that sorted out.
>>565079968she can be my gf she followed me on itch
is your first priority to do gamedev or to finish a game? cause doing gamedev is an infinitely looping task, making a game has a finish line.
>>565081978my main goal is to blow up and then act like i don't know nobody
>>565070620nortubel go back to make game
solodev is impossiblecollaboration is impossiblehiring is impossible if you don't have budgetlet's apply logic.if not alone, if not with a team. this means it's impossible. expect: if you use assets. it's basically a pseudo-collaboration with anonymous contributors. basically a collab where the others do what the fuck they want and only contribute if they want and they dont give a shit what you do. basically you have full freedom and they have full freedom. and you just gotta bring it all together.so the real question is: is being a "producer/director" possible alone? does one person have enough time to bring it all together and arrange it into a coherent product?
trying to be pretty and also an enginedev how do i pull it off
>>565082715ESL from niggerhell
>>565083371Not an AGDG game.
>>565081264You can go around with a bike in nature or in a park, make a sandwich and go eat it outside, or do bodyweight exercises outside. Or do some sperg friendly sport like rock climbing or acrobatics.Or just stay inside if you're healthy enough. You're not wrong, you're not missing out on much
what happened to your game?
>>565063815noticer here; today i noticed that the concerned /agdg/ citizen who complains about "AI' in the OP is not complaining about eldon "zukjeet" betz putting ecelebs in the OP and vandalizing it its very curious, im shocked, how could this happen?noticer out
for me? its lance's nekot fudge cookies devfuel for the white man. just crushed a pack. i feel progress coming. they allow me to solve complex problems like how much hp a boss should have because i should be able to munch on a packet of lance's nekot fudge cookies and beat the boss no problem!

>>565063815Does anyone know if concernedape recommended people develop games like he did stardew? Like churning out assets nonstop even if they look like shit and just reiterating over and over and over until they start to look good. I know people meme on stardew's art style but I actually think it looks really good, one of the better looking pixel games for sure imo

added a smaller system that was needed, going to take a moment tomorrow to implement something else now before I forget before I go back to the grind
your goal is to peel a potato with a machine. you have no idea how to do it. how do you figure it out?doesn't it basically require a tech tree and inspiration from many fields? basically something you know that you can combine into a potato peel machine? if gamedev is the same, doesn't that basically mean that you need a shit-ton of knowledge that you can combine?
this hobby would be so comfy without gabencunt
Why are so many 4chan developers making it?
>>565088678Yes. Gamedev is the jobby of choice for the modern day polymath.
we should all discuss my game nowno, I haven't posted itit exists in the form of a game design documentwell a draft of a gddinside my headbut it's gonna be great
>>565088931sounds like a you problem. also you talk like you have tourette, ever got diagnosed?
>>565088678Yup that's how problem solving is
>>565089247good evening saars
>>565088934because to post your game here takes an iron will one wrong move and you earned a schizo hater for life
i need a gamedev echo chamber only for devs who want to make asset flips. a place where nobody is proud about making their pixel art platformer that doesn't sell, "but it's made from scratch". yesdevs can be quiet annoying because they don't care about results, they only care about looking busy.

life is about accepting you can't have it all. you can't feed yourself asap and also want to make a legendary classic game that takes 20 years to make.you can't have friends and family and also sit in your room alone all day.you can't have full freedom working on whatever you want and also collaborate with others when it requires responsibility and coordination. you can't live out your wild sex fantasies and also have a loving relationship.life isn't about achieving a specific thing, it's about avoiding conflicting goals. it's about declaring intent and not complaining that your intent also has cons. you gotta focus on the benefits of your choices and not on the cons, otherwise you go mad.

>>565072527before AI these amateur enginedevs would be stuck with a yellow triangle for weeks if not months, now look at them go!its time to appologize to AI
there has to be a strong connection being a programmer without an artist always being a man without a woman. there has to be some energetic aura thing that keeps you from this common sense collaboration.programmer + artist = gameman + woman = childmaybe the problem isn't being invested enough. like not being masculine enough or not being enough of a programmer. (e.g. constantly trying to make art when you should be focusing on programming)
>>565081264I was in a similar situation which is why I bought a bike. Gave me a reason to go outside and working on it gives me something to do with my hands. It's nice to do something physical with my hands for a change.

Anyone else find it distasteful when big indie companies start cloning small dev team/solodev tier stuff?
>>565092356Except AI would have been smarter than Hitler and turn Germany into an economic powerhouse by 1980.
Anyone else find it distasteful when neverdevs (aka temporarily embarrassed yesdevs) share their shitty opinions on the amateur gamedev general?
Now I’m even more depressed
>>565090468gem alarm.most of my suffering comes from being unable to accept this. you need to understand what you are going to lose, so you can go all in on this endeavor.

question for my fellow godot users, i should make each level a new scene right?
>>565095890It depends on what kind of game you're making, but yes, that's one way to do it.
>>565092702https://files.catbox.moe/imwotn.mp4
>>565095890also i was wondering where do scenes go when you x them out? how do i open it back up?
Looks like it worksThe idea is to have a generator file. This file is used to generate files and build a shared library from the files. Then you can load the shared library in the Chicken interpreter and register callbacks for the different commands in whichever way you want as a user.See >>>/g/108709645
>>565095628So true but we compliment each other in that way. They yap about the deep lore of their world whilst i add more unique mechanics and systems.If a mechanic I add does not fit the tone of the game i remove it without judgement. The only problem with artfags is they rarely say whats on their mind and are always trying to people please, like women.
