how to make pong fun?
>>566336579ANIME. GIRLS.
>>566336579big jiggly asses
>>566333209my game is literally just a gameplay prototype, it has no graphics, no art, no theme and no ideas thus it is completely a blank slatewhy would i keep posting it?
>>566336715Like two big butts smacking a little architect back and forth with realistic physics?
>>566337113Not a bad idea but not fatties more like
>>566337363Artist?
what color should my castle be
>watch a video that says that the sony walkman was only successful because they removed the record button so it didnt confuse the goyimwhat can we learn from this? are we giving gamers too much?
>>566338748>what can we learn from thiszoomers are insanely parasocial and overshare every detail of their lives
>>566338748Know what your product is and what it isn't and dont add shit just because you can or because it's cheap. Know your scope and keep within it
i realized why i suck at making games. i always assumed i'm normal and think gamers want the same type of games as me. when in reality i'm a lone wolf sperg with weird taste.just browsing a bunch of tiktok my first assumption is that people like simple violence with good graphics. i grew tired of shooters, they didn't. especially young people who first get into gaming. same reason why simple music is still popular or why football is still so popular. people like simple things.just because i played hundreds of games doesn't mean they did.i guess that's the danger of solodev. you don't have that normie ceo or marketing guy that tells the programmers what normal people do.
is multiplayer solved and learnable or do companies like valve and riot games have secret sauce to sync game states?
>>566339445forgot to add that 4chan also isn't social media and it's the same. i think 4chan is normal. yet i'm here because i'm a sperg. normal people don't use 4chan. they don't even use reddit.
>>566339617Every major game engine has built-in high-level multiplayer synchronization.
>>566339445Normies aren't exactly playing indie games though they're playing cod, fortnite, csgo, and hero shooters
>>566339903i really should focus on channeling my autism into the games code and not into the game idea.why do i need to make a sperg simulator, when coding itself is the sperg simulation?
>>566339895Prove it.
>>566340239Bing "[engine name] high-level multiplayer"
>>566339617IT is solved in the sense that most big engines include code for it. But it will still substantially increase your dev time.
I got some simple waist/hips IK working for when the player is in third person mode
>>566341280Yay
i wasn't aware how popular shooters still are. i thought that trends change over time, but it seems like life is just old wine in new bottles. i thought players want new experiences, but what they really want is just new appearances.
>>566343030A new appearance is a new experience.
i'm out of touch, that's the root of all of my problems.
>>566343380yeah you are right. i think what i meant was new tech or new gameplay features that were never done before.
>>566343657Are you a fucking botgo make a game
>>566343891https://www.tiktok.com/@jychnnn/video/7549239893268958486this is what "gamers" really look like. i'm tired of pretending my target audience even exists. people want multiplayer shooters.
https://www.tiktok.com/@mythraplays/video/7581453816659201283here you can see a gamer in his natural habitat. this is how it looks when someone is playing your game.
I tried to get back into my missile command game but then I remembered that im a shit programmer.
>>566336409i have a new project hop strategy:>main project: 20% available time>demo day side project: 60% available time>side project ii: 20% available timethese percentages can vary according to irl values
has branno posted his cock again yet
>>566336409(1/2)-Raised the max char level to 25 and the max clan level to 90(these will now only increase after the addition of Legendary difficulty, which is supposed to happen after the full release; before that, there will be a transition from the alpha stage to beta)-Added Level 25 bandages and food
i'll add this to my hit formula:a) accessibleb) multiplayerc) looks good
>>566344873Is nice!
they made claude retarded again
>>566344873(2/2)-Added Tier 2 upgrades for ultimate abilities-Tier 2 upgrades for ultimates also enhance Tier 2 upgrades for other abilities
How many of you are vibecoding?
https://www.tiktok.com/@.nmling.setup/video/7581321182046063879somehow all of those videos are fortnite, league of legends, counter-strike 2, genshin impact or gta v.i thought only sweats play those games, but it seems like it's part of normiecore now.
>>566345096>waow the most popular games on the planet are popular
the most important thing to a gamer is that they can identify with the game. this is universal, even spergs will shill their factorio to everyone.
>>566345458then why are you nigger bimbos telling me to make friendslop all the time fucking dickheads. i'll make a multiplayer shooter now.
>>566345578stop observing people on tiktok like zoo animals to figure out what game to makejust make the game you want to make insteadfucking braindead zoomers I stgJLMG
>>566345753why would i make a game for myself? i want to code it, not play it.
>>566337113>>566344836
remember that sweeney made fortnite and not a niche indie game for himself.
>>566345874It sounds like you hate shooters no? if you push forward with something you don't like just because you think other might like it or will either burn out or be miserable the entire time and make something subpar as a result. Your heart has to be in it.
>>566344836so he posts his cock whenever one of his games flop? I guess that makes sense
>>566346193i had probably 5000 hours in cs 1.6, that's probably why i'm "over it" and don't get why it's still so popular. i basically thought it's a legacy genre and that csgo/cs2 will also die out over time.i think i constantly make the mistake of thinking my personal development is a societal scale development.e.g. once i started eating really healthy, yet there's still all this trash like coca cola etc. in the stores. just because i stop drinking it, doesn't mean others do. and probably in 100 years they'll still drink it.
>>566346442people usually develop this level of cognizance from around 6-8yos IIRC
>>566346442imagine if you did 5k hours of gamedev instead
>>566346091fortnite is just an upgraded ZZT
>>566345578I don't say that shit. I support this >>566345753Make what you want to make and find your niche audienceUnless you're a soulless bug pig person that just needs money, then keep trying to figure out what people want and scratching your head
>>566347081mind blown
i'll make a game about shooting cows, my niche audience is people who hate cows
>$10,000 idea>Involves coding things I'm not familiar with>Try AI instead>the AI tells me to fuck off and refuses to make itIts never been so over for me
can i use the edith finch assets in unity or will epic sue me?
Indie means self-publishedIndie is an aestheticIndie is a state of mindIndie means slightly smaller budget than AAA (10 million is average for indie, 25-100 million is AA/Triple Indie tier)Indie is a vibeIndie is a selling pointIndie is what you make of itHaving investors, grants, and Hollywood actors doesn't make someone less IndieAnyone can be Indie if they want to.You are not a solodev. There is no such thing as a solodev. It's impossible. Stop calling yourself a solodev.
>>566348856asshurt communist
ughhhhhhhh........damn.i made a nice prototype of my game that is fully 3d first person, but for some reason i crave to actually just have 2d non-animated avatars sliding around like Dwarf Fortress, CDDA, Space Station 13, Caves of Qud, Rimworld, etc.am i wrong of does 2d topdown lend itself better to complex systems games?
>>566348856independence is such a stupid concept, not a single thing in the universe is independent. the only thing that makes any sense is putting the word into context, which means that you have nobody telling you what game to make. if i make something and nobody tells me what to do, that is where the word makes any sense.you are indie when nobody is telling you what to make or how to make it.
>>566349218>OR* does 2d topdown lend itself better to complex systems games?
>>566349308in like 2012 i as a true legit solodev made a game that made $600,000 and didnt even advertise it. that's how powerful the golden age of indie games was. if you released literally anything you made a fuckton of money because like 50 games per year released on steam. of course now nothing i make would ever make money and my game was literal actual trash fucking garbage even back then.
>>566346091Fortnite was a niche passion project before they aped PUBG.
>>566349460lol the same happened to me to, just with selling beats.
>>566348856I'm a bocchidev thobeit
>>566349830throughbreed i am also bocchiin fact i started the trend and all bocchiposting is decended from me for lo, i actually go to /a/ sometimes
>>566349678Shit I actually forgot Fortnite was originally a paid PVE game.
>>566349460>>566349714its similar to how during the 00s if you made shitty newgrounds flash animations that arent even remotely funny or good looking by today's standards you went on to become a top internet celebrity and millionaire
>>566349218Why not just do billboard sprites?
What is the final solution to the solodev question? This is not sustainable. Indie devs shouldn't have to suffer like this.
>>566350207If I knew I wouldn't be here.

maybe it's called "finding" a niche for a reason. because you don't just make a niche up, you don't just decide on a niche. you "find" it. by exploration/searching.people always make it sound like you can just magically make up a niche.

>>566359220seriously?>>566359579this is a blue board btwIt's so much easier to get distracted playing video games than it is to dev, I didn't even like certain video games before I became a dev
>>566348361Is it because it’s too complicated or because it’s too NSFW? If it’s the complicated part then split it into smaller chunks, if it’s the NSFW part then just swap out the names for porn concepts.
Looks like luddite comic spammer hasn’t woken up yet
>>566359953what kind of response are you looking for exactly? post your game?
my vibe coded engine now supports basic pong, lmao.
>>566360093Too complicated. Ya, I'll try doing it in chunks and see how it goes
>>566361019That's just P-
>>566360197foids be foiding pay them no mind
>>566361296yes, but It has an ECS system, a game state manager, an input manager, a transition function, a fade in, a game asset folder with multiple asset types, a level, a camara system.It's a 2D engine.

Hey guys, i was wondering what's interviews are like for a Unreal game programmer. I have never done any interview in my life.Share some of your experience. And if any professional here, what tips would you give to a fresher or a programmer in general. What to be prepared for and stuff.
>>566361736pong is just a basic sort of hello world to have a functional working code.dunno about empty structs, lmao.
>>566361895ok, but now you need to spawn a ball and give it proper randomized angles

im attempting to make essentially "Rimworld but in a browser and 200+ multiplayer". i mean you could also say its like Space Station 13 but not as complicated, idk
>>566363714Need to finish that, but I'll do it tomorrow, lol.
>>566363796pong but the paddles use position based dynamics
>>566307373I know you tried to make a point but reading this I started thinking about what if game that is project zomboid without zombies. Last man on earth vibes. What if the gameplay aspect is the scavenging and base building. Take the food growing elements from farming games. Your goal would be to make a self-sustaining home. Give the player a checklist of things to achieve and allow them to keep playing after they are done if they feel like it.

How do we stop gabencunt?

yeaaa so i made a pretty nice 3d prototype because i know 3d sells so much better but at the end of the day i personally want a 2d topdown game soooo.... imma fuckin restart. thoughts? heheh
>>566365440have you ever finished a game before? if not, make a 2d one
>>566365409whispers into ear Valve's Hardware division exists solely as a means to give their population of thirdies (who use Steam's catalogue and item marketplace as a buy low sell high investing platform) a way to convert Steam bux into real money.
I've decided I am just gonna smart remaking 1970 and then 1980 games in raylib using my engine made with gemini, for like 6 months or the rest of this year before doing my original ideas as a way to do marketing off my youtube channel and get a fanbase.
>>566365409>boughti haven't actually done this but just saw the option
>>566365726Valve's hardware is entirely and solely to attract more whales and long-term users into the platform who collect games.So I don't think they care about 3rdies who primarily play f2p games
>>566365726gogemcunt are you really a hebrew(jew(judas))?
>>566365805Maybe someday, I imagine they only ship test units to Established Devs™
I need to eat this man alive

>>566366067I can do that too
>>566366129gonna assume he bought it unless he appears with a convincing receipt.I doubt Valve would just ship Vives/Frames to random noname indie devs
>>566366290proof?
>>566366067boner chicken
My game's budget just went from $0 to $25.
>godot is so bad upgrading sometimes breaks stuff as easy and default as window/fullscreen optionVibe coded engine
>>566350207>This is not sustainableNo it isn't. In short you keep making things hoping you hit some jackpot. Biggest problem is that people here think they can dev till they die, but any creative person that's not ghibili miyazaki has ten-fifteen years of work in him
>>566367582What small games are small enough to be reasonable and worth making then? Just trying to make unique games focused on one singular thing like shotgun roulette?
>>566368418indie devs have this whole "issue" backwards.They're worried about scope, so they only focus on extremely tiny games. When they should be focusing on building up reusable projects, components and assets, so they can get more games of increasing scope out, faster.
>>566339445Like other anon said normies aren't exactly playing indie games. There's plenty of other spergs in the indie games sphere who buy and play games. Look at the games you like. There's probably some pretty highly reviewed games in there. Why couldn't you make a game that caters to that sperg audience? >>566339617Multiplayer is solved in the sense that you as a dev won't really have to worry if your UDP packages are getting to the players or how the players connect to a server. Most engines handle that stuff just fine. The stuff that is "solved" but not shared is all the gameplay feel and networked gameplay implementation side stuff. How does WoW feel so good to play despite being online? I don't fucking know and I don't know how I could find out. How does Overwatch make all that movement and special abilities work smoothly and look right in a networked environment? Idk. Maybe that stuff is out there somewhere but I haven't come across it. Maybe AI knows, I haven't tried making a multiplayer game in a while so I haven't consulted AI about it.
Is anyone familiar with a good inventory/item tutorial for an RPG? I have one that functions, but I always second guess my own designs for things seeing as I end up having to figure out a lot of it on my own, but I'm not operating from a position of much knowledge or authority. It would be nice to get a chance to see a more sophisticated system than the one I have before I expand mine into having equipment and stuff.
>>566369331use ai
>>566366407this is a blue board.
>>566368613>indie devs have this whole "issue" backwards.They're worried about scope, so they only focus on extremely tiny games.You must be new. People here dev their dream games for 5 to 10 years, only a few reach release and even less have some sales.The exceptions to that are branno, cosmic and nun(formerly fiend's) dev. They also have a nice attitude of progress because they didn't give up after their first shitty release, another trap that kills 90% of agdg devs.
How far along is Pogo's latest game?
>>566365812of course they care about maintaining their thirdies. those guys do unpaid shilling and they stockpile the Bank of Steam like crazy, giving them a light at the end of the tunnel cashout option that allows Valve to triple dip profit (unlike their previous cashout methods like account selling that Valve couldn't profit on).
>>566368613>reusable projects, components and assets, so they can get more games of increasing scope out, fasterthis almost never happensseems like it should logically but it doesn't
>>566368613This isn't realistic, I'll give you an example. I want to make a game about moral choices, think Baldur's gate 3. I'm writing the story right now but when should I start actually making the game? You can always improve or expand the lore more to be more reusable for even more quests, characters, games. This is just one example, the same goes for every component of a game.
>>566368613>building up reusable projects, components and assets, so they can get more games of increasing scope out, faster.fake paradigm that has literally never worked for any studio or individual who's attempted it.
>>566371101>seems like it should logically but it doesn'tonly because devs are lazy >>566371212Are you serious? It was standard in gaming for decades before UE took over and devs started trashing their home-brew engines.>>566371138> moral choices, think Baldur's gate 3.do you want to make a game about moral choices, or a similar RPG with choices?
>>566371212>literally Lol no. Oblivion, oblivion with guns, skyrim and f4All the souls All koei tecmo games, be dynasty warriors or from team ninjaTekken used up to 7 some animations from 3All the disgaea gamesAll sports games from eaAll creed gamesAll far cry gamesAll lego gamesI could go on.
The donuts were 40% off so I'd be throwing money away by NOT buying some. The math made sense at the time.The next 7-10 days I'll be working on some updates to my existing games. I'm surprised at the trepidation I feel at having to work on them again. It's my games, my code, I should feel confident with it but I was feeling anxious for weeks at having to do this. Outdated dependencies, breaking changes, builds keep failing, not remembering how the code works and that's just to compile it so it runs. I'm adding to my schedule that I need to update each of my games at least once every 3 months if there's anything to update. I left it to rot for 2+ years in one case and now I lost the know-how and I'm poking around my own code like I'm defusing a bomb.142 days left, I owe 15 hours to my game.
>>566371212>What is FromSoftware?
>>566343857>or new gameplay features that were never done before.coming up with those is getting harder and harder as time goes on
>>566371793>that mugWait a fucking second are you my coworker?East Europe?
>>566371427>It was standard in gaming for decades before UE took over and devs started trashing their home-brew engines.did you ever stop to think why they would do that?protip: it's because focusing on making the game is quicker than trying to make a game while also maintaining and expanding an engine at the same time>>566371719those are all done in unreal or unity now and you didnt even notice the swapover
>>566344347if you can't finish missile command then I got bad news for you
>>566349218>am i wrong of does 2d topdown lend itself better to complex systems games?in a way yes it does because you get to abstract a lot of things and you don't need to have detailed models, animations and interactions visually taking place
>>566371878>did you ever stop to think why they would do that?Because the western AAA are sheepish and all converge on the same thing regardless of practicality? (Hence modern black and white "minimal" UI after The Last Of Us did it)Besides Rockstar are the largest developer, period, and they've built up their engine for decades.
why the fuck didn't you guys tell me it was so hard making 3d characters, this is driving me nuts
>>566371427you sound like someone who hadn't made multiple games. you save time on reusing code or assets but (assuming you're making a different game) you lose time on adapting existing code to a new use casethere's no point arguing this because you're inexperienced and going on common sense
>>566372232>you lose time on adapting existing code to a new use casestop designing ad-hoc systems
>>566359083>>566359953>claims to be female>posts tranime>worries about representationyou're a trancel for sure
>>566371848>Wait a fucking second are you my coworker?I've been unemployed since before Covid and I only had energy drinks at work so I doubt it.
>>566372115i'm sure you thought it was a very good argument tactic to bring up Rockstar in a discussion of the efficiency of rolling an inhouse engine..... *checks how long GTA6 has been in development, how many people are working on it and where it's budget ranks within nationstate GDPs*yes it must be very efficient to work the way rockstar does
>>566372332>stop designing ad-hoc systemsSir, we're solo gamedevs here. Ad-hoc is the only way to do it if you want to actually ship a game.
>>566372440=\=R* don't rely on quantity, they have one specialty product they milk, which wouldn't be possible without their own engine ,considering UE has been garbage for open world until very, very recently.
>>566372673meanwhile CDPR switched from their own engine to Unreal
>>566372908well, they also trashed their Witcher Engine and wrote 2077 from scratch before that, and look how well that turned out for them.
>>566372673>they have one specialty product they milkthat's called a pigeonholeand a specialty product that has to make billions or it's a flop is a very strong argument to not do that for anyone who isn't a degenerate gambler trying to destroy their life.
>>566373063so going from REDengine 3 to REDengine 4 was rewriting it from scratch?
I think this whole thing with a lot of the industry moving to Unreal will have some big consequences in the near future. It is a big mistake. We are already seeing all the poorly running Unreal slop with the traditional Unreal rendering artifacts that make the game look like ass. Maybe it made sense to some penny pinchers in the short term based on some profit calculations but I don't think it will play out to be true in the long run. Large studios are already experiencing mass scale brain drain and now they're forcing their remaining skilled devs to work in Unreal which would make anyone consider ending it. They're gonna be left with a bunch of AIslopgineer jeets who deliver slop which is gonna reduce game quality and performance even further.
>it works and plugged into all my other scripts like butter
>>566372440What about FromSoftware?
>>566373248It sounds like you're concerned about the industry-wide shift toward Unreal Engine and the potential long-term consequences. Your points about rendering artifacts, quality issues, and the impact on skilled developers are valid considerations. The move to Unreal might offer short-term financial benefits for some studios, but if it leads to a decline in game quality and a drain of experienced talent, it could have negative repercussions for the industry as a whole.Balancing technological adoption with maintaining high standards and supporting talented developers is crucial. If Unreal's limitations and the potential for lower-quality outputs become widespread, it could undermine the reputation of studios that rely heavily on it. On the other hand, the industry is always evolving, and challenges often lead to innovation and new solutions.What do you think would be the best way for studios to navigate this transition while safeguarding quality and retaining skilled talent?
First day not working on my project anymore. Actually feels good. Im happy i unshackled myself from this boring generic mess. Wonder what i have to do to make my new project less boring, or if its just my soul thats insufficient.
>>566373615go away grok
>>566373654was the game boring or was the deving it part boring?
>>566373384from what software?
>>566374030The art style was boring and the general concept too, everybody i asked affirmed it.

>>566371427the gameplay, systems and even which camera I'm going to use isn't decided yet. I may want first person like Skyrim or Mass Effect camera or BG3 style. The important part is that I can make a story full of hard decisions that players will argue about endlessly with themselves and online. I may add companions or not. The goal of the game is to put a mirror in front of people and make them see how easily they are willing to compromise when they get a benefit out of it or someone cries convincingly enough. First person cam would increase immersion by a lot but it would make companion management worse or even infeasable. I'm not even sure what kind of artstyle I can manage that will look remotely decent because I'm not an artist. I'm even thinking of making it a roguelike like Blue Prince where you have to do repeated runs to try and get to the end with the moral choices changing some stuff about what kind of endings and characters you will get to see.
>>566374135i wont say anything in response (because that would be like timetraveling and changing the past) but im curious to see if you got crabbed, post it?

>>566375005Nah, wouldve been too much soul.
>>566375005>ruining cool thing with c*rd-shitwhy are they like this
>>566374531I was thinking about that but if you lock progression behind picking the correct moral choice then people will get angry that the supposedly stupid developer doesn't understand that their choice was correct and simply shrug and disconnect from the game mentally because I forced them to do something that they dont agree with. This approach does not work in my opinion.>Make some small vertical slice demo with a simple maze or a few roomsit's not a maze though, the current plan is that you are locked in a house and you have to survive waves of various events/visitors that come try to enter your house. The inspiration for this is the game "No, I'm not a Human" which I picked as the inspiration in hopes to vastly simplify and cut the scope.
anyone else moves their foreskin up and down until goo comes out? it helps me focus on my game
Steamies when you shit on Gabencunt
>>566375219There wouldn't be a "correct" choice though, just choices that change how you get to the end, which is the whole point right?>you are locked in a house and you have to survive waves of various events/visitors that come try to enter your house.>No, I'm not a HumanGuess you just need to start making something and decide what kind of gameplay you actually want to do.

>>566336409the streetz made us officially.
>>566375005I really don't understand why that was a card game
>>566375595yes, I think I need a prototype that can hold all the things I want to accomplish with the game. My current thought is this: Isn't every good game almost like a card battler or like a board game with game pieces and a set amount of actions? I mean if you really boil an interactive 3d environment down to its possible choices at any given moment it should be like a board game. You can either do X, Y or Z. So I was thinking that the prototype that I should be building could be as simple as a series of multiple choice dialogues. The point is to prove that the mechanics can be married with the moral choices, that should be doable via text multiple choices too. Why build a 3d "game" at all until I actually now that my mechanics work together already.
>>566346316Someone posted a huge floppy white cock the other day and someone else said the hoodie looked like branno's. It was just a generic blue hoodie though
>>566375973You just need to figure out what kind of mechanics can inform the choices which inform the mechanics, otherwise you'll accidentally just make a VN.

my game can work in both 3rd person and isometric which i should choose?>3rd person is more popular and generally sells better but much harder>isometric will hide flaws much better
>>566381067it doesn't mattergo with whatever's easier for you, so what you're calling isometic
>>566381067I don't really think either of those claims are true. I personally prefer perspective most of the time, but it depends entirely on what your game is and what visual style you're going for.
I think if I could sum up my life in a single sentence it would be "no one gives a shit"
>>566381260they're both mostly the same work, it's just with isometric the zoomed out camera will hide shit better>>566381352it's much harder to see small details in things like animation with zoomed out camera compared to 3rd person
>>566381792>my lifeNobody tell him.
>>566382103>it's much harder to see small details in things like animation with zoomed out camera compared to 3rd personThere's nothing stopping you from using a zoomed out perspective camera.
when the mouse could leave the window then that was jank, so I need to stop it. but on my linux it installed wayland by default and it doesnt let the app warp the cursor. so, when you start a drag, it captures the mouse (hides it) like an FPS game does. and then i replace no cursor with a glove hand. and then when you let go it gives the normal mouse cursor back. but the position resets to the middle of the window ahhh>>566350656>>566377678nice one cris>>566379840this guy a footy hooligan?>>566378150heh, i remember this. imagine if it was coopslop and that different players controlled the people on the same team and they could run into each other or apart so the block fall and they have to pick it back up>>566348361try a different one. people said deepseek v4 is good.

>>566372440How many developers, even AAA ones, even use bespoke engines anymore? The only ones I can think of are things like flight simulators that have very specific requirements that aren't covered by other engines.
I've always wanted to make a first person immersive sim where you play a guy on a spaceship and you need to destroy it and get off alive, but all the aspects of the ship are fully simulated. Like space station 13
What game is>small enough to finish in a short time (weeks - 1 month)>Can sell enough to make $100 back
How do you guys usually balance dyour development time with 'p consumption?
>>566349218Top down games offer a strategic view which makes it easier to parse large amounts of information. Going first person means putting more items on the mental stack as players now have to parse spatial information as well rather than have a perfect image at all times. So it depends what you want your game to be, SS13 has lots of complexity but it's also an early 2000s chatroom game so it depends which direction you want to lean in.
>>566385816vampire survivors if you use claude opus + assets from itch
i've noticed that as a programmer i like specific games, games that let you build. yet that means i like making games. but this means my need to create affected my idea of a "dream game". e.g. i like complex systems. yet i can work on "complex systems" by just making a game. the game itself doesn't need to offer complex systems.it's like wanting to make a song about writing songs, or writing a book about writing books. there might be a market for it, but what it really means is the cat chasing its own tail.i think the real beauty is leaving the complexity in the code, while the product itself isn't complex for the player. i think all of this is a common theme in over-intellectualized abstract art and music. where the creator falsely assumes that the product needs to be complex, because they like complexity. when in reality they should find complexity in the process and make the actual product "seem" simple.

Internet is being worked on. Doing some performance testing.> max amount of vram used up at a time is 7.5 GBs. Performance doesn't take a hit unless the system is below 3 gbs of VRAM>sdd is hdd is much more important than I realized for performance bottlenecks>only uses 2 GB of system RAM at a time>CPU seems to only use 2 threads. This doesn't mean too much since its 1.1ms for rendering code and tasks in the background. Average of 0.5ms. Overall its 15ms for everything all at once where changes take 2-3ms. Most of this is due to character animation updatesNot too bad. I wish I could do more for lowering the engines VRAM requirements for the 3d models without making them look like shit.

I surprise and impressed myself. when i accidnetally fucked my project by openingin it in new version of godon't, I got so pissed i made a custom module to stop it if it wants to open a project from a different version. while I was at it i made it also check before opening if it is a git repo and it hasn't been committed for more than half an hour (for example you could open a project and mess it up then want to restore, but find out that you last committed yesterday and you just ruing a whole day work). then I forgot all about this and just been using it like normal. And just now it tripped and told me and I'm like "hmm. oh yeah I did that didn't I?" damn that's good though. I'm never going to have that same problem again now.>>566394934good luck bro>>566394017simplify and remake the handbag using the same size pixels as the character sprites. also reduce the black outlines of the woman somehow i feel like she has too much. maybe between her head and hair it can be removed?? Also for your grafitti paint, the mspaint spray tool used to put a kind of pixel splatter pattern, you should use that. We can tel tat you've scribbled with a fat brush which isn't really right unless you had the graffiti artists holding paint buckets and paint brushes in their hand. you can probably download the old versions of mspaint to use the spray tool anyway. also i think there should be some shadow between the snowed on car and the wall. and the ladder is too wide but you still probably want it to stand out to the player so maybe give it a shimmer or something (you can animate it frames?)

>>566385770It's a very unoriginal idea that rests entirely on your ability to execute it. If you can it will sell. There's an audience for imsims though it's a bit of a niche one. I think both Monomyth and Peripeteia would have done better if the devs had been able to even out some of the rough edges in those games but they didn't exactly do bad considering their price. It is a very difficult game to make though. No point in even trying unless you are willing to commit a few years to it full time.

Multiplied all health and damage by 5I want to keep the lethality high but when the numbers were super low it meant damage upgrades would swing the game too hard Anyone got any wacky ideas for a autobattler game? I want to push this idea a bit more before I try makign the art more solid.Adding classes/skill trees is one idea I had to increase the complexity.Another idea was a "city builder" system where you attach more islands to your combat platform. somehow the things you add would provide bonuses to the player.Perhaps the game could be two floating cities fighting one another for resources. Like they dock against one another send their best champions and they fight on their cities behalf.If you lose your people starve.Thematically sounds cool but im not sure what bonuses i could add via the city to make it interesting whilst keeping the classes unique.https://angular.itch.io/auto-battle-tactics

>>566403390I don't really have ideas but one thing I've noticed about autobattlers is that you need to give the player rapid opportunities to customize the team or it get stale fastI've ran into quite a few that do upgrades in stupid ways and it ruins the game for example when there's too little variety in the upgrades or it's too rng and rare to get good options or the game just doesn't change much after the start

>>566404585>so should it be weighted to give you more useful stuff or like just include systems to offset rng?too rng with the good stuff being too rare was an issue in dwarves death glory and loot it had item rarity tiers and dwarf rarity tiers and then each biome had its own rare loot the shop could roll and upgrading the shop unlocked new stuff at each location and it has an item set system so it's crucial to be able to build the sets with good stats so it was like rng on rng on rng on rng to get a well equipped dwarf and sometimes I'd be rolling for dozens of times in the shop not finding the specific item I was aftersystems to offset the rng would be good to have but also if your item pool grows large you gotta have more than 3 options per roll a lot of roguelites make that mistake limiting it to 3

i couldn't easily pull off multiplayer with a previous game and had to abandon it. so much time wasted only to get wrecked on multiple fronts, not just the multiplayer aspect. i didn't see it selling well as singleplayer only, nor did it help how much development was still needed.the next game i made could sell with or without multiplayer. the big problem being that no multiplayer meant i'd need way more content. i've dropped it for now and am now on yet another game, fully singleplayer. hold me sisters, i wasted so much time!

Make a slow paced RTS and label it an incremental to lure in the gamers who are scared of RTS

>>566421796>Approximately 350 million fast food meals are consumed globally every day, accounting for over 4,000 meals every second. In the U.S., about 32–37% of adults consume fast food on any given day, contributing to around 12% of their total daily calorie intake. Globally, 65% of people eat fast food at least once a week.

>>566423036the only thing boring here is your vibe. Clear your head and come back.
>>566423036you seem to forget some gamers like repetitive grindy shit.You're missing the entire point of idle games.They're games to have while you have 5 minutes free at the office, or while waiting for the customer service to reply or some email to return.
>>566419932Yeah, plus I played every single Arkham game and Shadow of Mordor game multiple times, for hundreds and hundreds of hours.Godhand I finished once and dropped halfway every time I tried replaying it.Thanks for the support anons, those games don't have the best reputation
idle and autobattle games are HUGE for the adhd market which has been increasing due to prolonged screen time on children.
>>566423009Honestly after detoxing myself of slop I can't stand to eat most of it. Like yeah pizza tastes good but over here it's handmade idk how it's in the US. Burgers from the major chains taste awful. Anything microwaved is horrible. There's some handmade burgers from the local joints which can be good and then there's this fries & cut up sausage combo box with a bunch of toppings that's popular here which can on occasion be quite nice too. I get fast food like once or twice a month. At the same time a lot of snacks went too. Most chips just taste weird now. Candy I buy very rarely. We got some good chocolate and ice cream but I try to limit myself on those because I don't want to become obese.
@grok help this man with his shit memes
>>566423535When will you make a comic about schizos like Betz and Fygoon

>>566423761
>>566424206This is the dumbest take I see on the internet. There's a difference between a burger made from fresh produce vs. a burger from a fast food joint that stores ultra processed food like McDonald's burgers that you can leave out on the table for years and they won't go bad.
Finished a retopo, bake, and bone transfer this week.Looks alright, went from ~30k tris to ~2k. Material needs a little fine tuning.Don't usually like doing things this way, but Unreal free store shit just dropped it in my lap, so I figured why not.Additionally finished some other models and logic for visual mcguffins for player progression.Also did a pre-emptive performance check to see how the render pipeline is handling stuff and if I'm mostly hitting performance targets. Problem is I'm not skilled enough to know if the RHI stats in Unreal play-in-editor are lying to me, and if PIE is not performing optimizations that would normally run in a fully compiled game. More to dig in to and learn, I guess.
>>566424206processed meat, bread, onions, lettuce and tomatoes vs their natural formsretard
>>566424970get out of here with that negativity, we don't need it.
>>566424206I notice there is bacon and cheese on the bottom burger
>>566424449McDonalds is made with the same ingredients from the same suppliers as anywhere else. A burger you leave out for years is obviously stale and inedible regardless of where you get it from, but if you leave out a hundred of them, you'll probably find at least one or two that luckily didn't have enough live mold spores to form sprout into a colony.>>566424970>if i "process" aka cut up my food before i chew it, it's bad for me

if i got a demo working of my game, what is the next realistic deadline to be able to show off my game at things if i made a steam page for it too
>>566424098Ask your AI for the plot
>>566424206I don't even like burgers that much. If I eat one it's one I made at home with ingredients of my choice.

>>566424449Partially correct. The bun and burger paddy will typically be more processed at macdonalds but if you look at the macros of a bigmac it really isn't that bad. It's the fries and drink that come with it that are the empty calories.

unity has to be the only software i know where you can safely use the latest alpha. actually the alphas often times contain bug-fixes earlier than previous versions.
>>566431429This is not about macros though, this is about the quality of products used for the burger.
i've noticed how all those "small scoped 2D games" demotivated me over the last years. it's one thing if i'm doing what i can inside my boundaries, but when you can look at steam and see the flood of those types of games, it just blackpills me about gaming in general. it makes gamedev feel as soulless as webdev.
>>566428275The funny thing is Betz did buy ads
>>566432417adopt an opportunity mindset and make the small 2d game that defines its own genre (inspires clones)
>>566432494ok betz
>>566429491>still using Chudlon's AI hellsite.Yikes. I thought we were better than this.
>>566432417You only feel this way because you're a low-IQ who doesn't understand game design. Think of a game like Magic the Gathering which generates ~$1.7b revenue per year. It's literally just text on paper, and works all the same without the art, which can easily be AI generated nowadays. No 3D animations, no juice, no cutscenes.

they might have seen your game, but they left social media because of politics. that's the world we live in. that's why i'd only market on video platforms.
society collapsing will be forever the elephant in the room. the human mind cannot function will if it thinks society will collapse in the next few years.it's like trying to be productive while a meteor is heading towards earth.the question is: is it shizo to be a doomer, or is it really all slowly falling apart?or, does it even matter if your mind thinks its real anyways?

"Programmer seeking artist" is a huge NGMI trap. What you really want to be is a game designer who knows how to program and make art connecting with a narrative and character designer who also knows how to program and make art.>>566447197>>566448328Go participate in game jams.

>>566450636>>566450760hmm. its from my experience been by posting on demoday (your own and on others) and then talking to people who like after that. but itch doesn't have DMs which sucks but usually people have their discord link in their itch page>>566450862i was just going to say, write a python script. but the language that you already know and have setup is best so i can def see opening a already configed project and just making a quick func being the way. its kinda like the way how all my projects are just subfolders in one mega repo now. git has file deduplication so you can just copy paste stuff and git wont store the shit more than once (in the history that is) because it is based on file hashes.
>>566449259>>566450636I can also confirm this >>566450183, but IMO it's not going to be better anywhere else. Game jams are very hit or miss (with misses more often than not), but at least you can still push through and ship games this way. It's a bit annoying to have to carry a team, but it is what it is. It's kind of like whenever you have to do a class project for school and one guy does 90% of the work. Realistically, that's how a collab is always going to have to be.
>>566451873WTF so is the only way to reliably find good collaborators to EMPLOY THEM?Is it that hard to find someone who wants to consistently collaboratively build a game just for the intrinsic fun of it?
>>566399165>>566394934>>566398806It went okay.Game was well loved by ages 5-10 whomst attended.
>>566452140Employing people isn't going to get you reliably good collaborators either. Projects need directors, and directors need to understand how everything works. You can't just pay someone to "do art" and have them magically know what's the right art to do. You need to have enough art skills to properly communicate to them what kind of art you need them to do.Plenty of people want to build games for fun. 99% of them are just going to be absolute shit at it, yourself included.
i vvill restore order to this despicable placemy mighty creation will disintegrate ritualposters ,cringe spammers and nodevsyou will seewhen you least expect it, i shall returnfrom the ashes, like a gamedev phoenix

>>566449590Just bought it, very interested to try this. It is incredible how far AI has gotten in just a few years. The future is looking promising.
What's AI gonna do to this?
>>566453958its going to take the grey and yellow parts to the moon, and the blue and green etc parts will then shrink down a bit lower
Nothing (progress) ever happens.
>>566453958This just shows how much easier gamedev was back then. In 2016 you could probably release something only slightly better than a basic asset flip and get a bunch of reviews.
snapped at my mom again today, she doesnt believe in me or my game, i told her its our best shot to getting us out of public housing and welfare.her negativity and nagging just pisses me off and makes me less productive, huge NGMI energy from her. either support our dream with me or leave me alone.
>>566454832Don't be mean to your mom.Make her happy and make the game on the side.If making her happy means getting a job, then work a job and cook the game on the side.
>>566453958Hopefully it just means the Age of the Ideaguy has finally come. You all said ideas are cheap but soon it will be the real currency that determines what games succeed or fail. That and sucking off "influences" unfortunately, that wont change I dont think
>>566453958Bring back greenlight and use AI monitor for bot activity.
>>566448892i look like that and stand over you like that while you sleep
>>566451632I tried git once but it was too complicated, maybe I'll learn to use it one day... maybe
>>566454686Yeah. Ten years ago was baby mode for game devs. I curse myself every day for not finishing my game back then but I ended up with a kid and never had the time.
>was in college in 2016i never had a chance...
>it jworks
>look up mmo98>see a recent negative review>eww why is this a clicker game? the devs must've messed up and made it unintentionally in the wrong genrekek

Imagine releasing in 2012, 2013, 2014, or 2015. Sisters, hold me!!!!
>>566458664why didn't i release my game in middle school...
Just coom harder
>>566458661Pretty good.
>>566387763what the fuck is this?
>>566459024Eric has become something of a national treasure.
>>566458898Is it just me or the lighting looks really off?
>>566458664Yeah I wouldn't make it through greenlight. Psx graphics were old and icky, nobody wanted it
>>5664586642012 was when greenlight became active, that's the earliest we had a chance on Steam. Though it was the early days where even your own website stood a chance.>2012more than half that bar is pink........>2013like 2/3's of that bar is pink!!!! more success stories in 2013 than 2012 in both numerical value and percentage based!>2014hmm i am noticing something here, the steam limit of how many games it promotes seems to have cut off the growth in easy success. just slightly over 500>2015same deal slightly better than 2014 but the high review counts in terms numerical amounts is getting stifled.we must go back and limit it to maybe 3000 releases a year on steam. perhaps an auction system of sorts. once a year steam auctions off 3000 app id's for the upcoming year. if you get one, you must release the game in said upcoming year. if you fail to release, you lose the app id, and get no refund. at least then that gives maybe a 20% chance of success every year
>accidently forget to turn off autoplay when listing to music>youtube actually plays something good i've never heard beforeit will be a good day today
It's over.
>>566459438>auction systemAll the NGMIggers are just going to cry about how it now costs over $100k just to release a game in 2027.
Did Gabe mean to kill indies or is he just so greedy he wasn't thinking straight? He no seem malicios.
Friendly reminder that "indie" does not mean "made by a retarded nigger monkey from his rotting favela shed". E33 is indie. Hytale is indie. Star Citizen is indie. Make a real indie game.
>>566458664Imagine game's that didn't succeed were released in 2015>Healed to DeathI can just see it being a 1000+ review game and give Branno a solid foothole for future success, this was back when getting a fanbase was easy.>PeripeteiaBro's this would easily end up being a 10k+ review game and cement them into going big and being III by now.>Into the NecrovaleLikely a 2000+ review game back then.>ArchtowerAlso likely a 2000+ review game back then.
>>566458664>>566453958This is weird>amount of games releasing skyrockets>games getting 500+ reviews barely increasesHow is that possible? Is the amount of people playing games not increasing too?
>>566460481>Is the amount of people playing games not increasing too?on pc? not including fortnite and roblox? yeah that's believable

But Grimdark as fuck and in space in the far future where there is only war and The Warp has merged with our reality entirely and although the humans have superpowers THEY AINT SHIT compared to the Warp beings they're trying to maintain the survival of humanity from>>566458664i released my only successful game in 2012ish and made $600,000 with no marketing and no publisher. the game was TRASH. yes the golden age was just that good.
>>566460205Necro and arch yes. But I don't think retro 3d that also looks like shit would have sold as well as it does today.

Guys, nextfest only has 3-4k games. You can get the visibility you are after. It's just like the old days, compressed into a week
>>566462353I probably won't
>>566460205Those games have hundreds of reviews, are they really unsuccessful games? What's the threshold for success?
GPT 5.5 xHIGH in Codex CLI is doing so well for me. It's so smart. Imagine when it can complete the same task in 5 seconds instead of 15 minutes though. You'll be able to make any game in like a day as long as you as the architect understand how game systems are made on a meta level
I'm going to work on my game now. You may wish me luck.
>>566463692ok but what about the art
>>566462276why are her titties out

>>566464964>thobeit
>>566458664>more slop every year>500 reviews remain constant>somehow this isn't gamers having standards and it's actually structural oppression of gamedevs
>>566465603I know you're wrong about gamers having standards because I see what gets 500+ reviews.
>>566465690You can't really have it two ways, you can't claim you could just release whatever slop in 2016 and it suddenly being impossible now with how much slop there is if 500 Reviews remain constant. It's clear something gets filtered
Give gamers what they want.
Fuck it I'm just going to use AI
>>566465894I predict lots of games will have this feature now
where are da mommygaems???
>>566466169sadly the women are in charge of making the mommies in games, and they aren't cougars they're making mommies appealing to women with bipolar or identity issues
>>566466169
observation: GPT 5.5 Medium is vastly dumber for multiplayer game dev than GPT 5.5 xHigh. practically unusable for creating netcode. xHigh seems to do well creating netcode, Medium is a buffoon constantly destroying everything it touches. for general gameplay systems there's not too big a difference.
>>566465603Yeah but that means it's harder to get publicity

>>566465894Tokusatsu?
>>566464957I still hate the enemy behavior
I'm still angry about that one guy in the last thread yesterday who said that he just aims to make 100$ with his game and asking what kind of game he should make. You have one job: To have a soul. You failed. Go work at McDonalds or for Goldman Sachs or any of the hundreds of thousands of other jobs you have available in this world. You don't have to pick an artform to shit up with your idealess, soulless "product" that you barely care more about than the shit you took this morning.
>>566469292maybe he's one of those people who's in love with the idea of being able to say "i released a game on STEAM" he doesn't care about the game he cares about the prestige of having a game on steam. if steam suddenly ceased to exist, then i would not be shocked if suddenly him and many others give up on gamedev despite itch.io, epic, and gog existing
>>566469563>being able to say "i released a game on STEAM"Reminds me of pic related where the main character works at a place that made money by "publishing" books but never sells any copies other than giving a bunch of copies to the author who was willing to pay a bunch of money to get a few physical copies of his book to give to people he knows and pretend to be a published author.
>>566469563Mainly because Steam is the second biggest platform
>>566469563if steam ceased to exist, the new biggest platform would be the place to be.

>>566458664I released a game in 2018 on steam and I still only got 2 reviews and didn't break even on the $100 bux it cost to put it up. Took me 6 months to make it too. 8 years later and I've only released 1 other game that made 6k.
>>566473651did you release a pixel puzzle platformer with a black background?
made a puppet critter i have big plans for him
I like reading posts about games that failed so I can see what I shouldn't do
>>566473839I like to read them because misery loves company
I have reached a newer skill level in my ai slop skills, chuds.haters btfo.
>>566473552I will now buy your game.
500 reviews incoming.
>>566473718Nah, small arcade type game where you get to the end of the track without getting hit. 15 vehicles, each one having a 1-time use ability. If you get hit, game over, start from the beginning. As each level progresses, your vehicle gets slower and slower, thus making it more challenging to get to the end, but the 1 time use abilities also become better and better.
>>566474101Give me 10 copies.
I was thinking about how to integrate online and offline play. Without forcing always on like diablo 4.I'm thinking that online items can only be used when online.Local items are usable online or offline. They can be generated offline by the completion of time based crypto hashes (math problems hard to parallelise). The difficulty of the hash is determined by what the user is doing. Could an offline user generate items by building a generator? Sure, but the rate of verification of items will be far lower than playing normally online or macroing online. This way items can be added to the market from offline.
>>566474101wait that's AI generated?perhaps I treated clankers too harshly...
>>566474126what were your expectations in 2018?
>>566474236I gave it an assist with reference of the Gal girl, but told it to make it different enough, mixed with the cosmic suit etc, keep the eyes big and bloodshot,
>>566474364hell of a lot more than I made. I was thinking maybe 50 reviews, close to $10k. But I also didn't do any marketing at all and thought it would just take off naturally. In retrospect it wasn't a great game though so I'm not that cheesed about it.
>>566474101Put this on Steam and don't add AI generated disclaimer on it. How many people would think it's AI?
Gamers want highly addictive slop or sexy anime girls.No in-between.

>>566460481The amount of users on steam has like quadrupled since then. Valve only promotes a limited number of games a year.
>>566475538Why are we okay with that?
>>566475868What are you going to do about it BITCH?
>>566475868what are you gonna do? boycott steam?
