Is anyone here making puzzle games?
Donuts are still 40% off. I hope they go back to regular price because I'm not supposed to be eating them but they make the value proposition irresistible.I'm now working on updates to my existing games. They're making barely any money now but maybe I can use them for cross-promotion. I hope so because I have no other avenues. My game is getting no attention on social media or Youtube or Tiktok so my existing players are my best bet to get the dented half melted ping pong ball rolling. There I go being a doomer again. Disallowed.141 days left. I owe 15 hours to my game.>>566484772The biggest puzzle is why am I doing this at all.
>>566484550do you got more info on how to achieve that?
>>566484772Puzzles only sell on phones
Haven't done gamedev in 3 years, how is godot 3D these days?
>>566485150No
>make some slopshit>add bobs and vagene (optionally make it tranime)>go viral on social media with it>profitso this is indie gamedev now, huh.
>>566485545Same as before
>Old me>Face a problem>Come to /agdg/ for help, people here are retarded>Go online for solution>Indian tutorial is shit>New me>Face a problem>Go to AI for help>It even writes me the codes and tell me how it works>Learnt something new and also get functioning features
>>566486076I should do this.
Is 3D art easier than 2D? I would be satisfied with my skills if I was able to model and rig OSRS tier graphics

>>566486076Hot women has more than a century of marketing research that sex sells anon.
>>566486076motor slice looked good, but the goon stuff put me off, so no buy, might have sold better without it.
>>566486289>might have sold better without it.it entered the "le obscure hidden gem" category for steamies, it arguably sold better than it should've
is there any character asset packs with characters with similar artstyle to Final fantasy from 10 to 15 or korean mmorpgs? i'm searching and finding nothing but cartoon or generic anime>but FF is animei don't know i like FF style but can't stand the bandai namco style or the genshin gacha style shit
>>566484225>Since I'm making a movement game now, do I have to start taking estrogen?You people are just making up stereotypes now
im making a boomer shooter do i have time to start beating my wife?
im making a zoomer shooterdo i have time to troon out?
>>566486232>Is 3D art easier than 2D?No. It actually adds extra layers of unexpected difficulty. With 2D art you always make it look better by rendering a little more, pushing colors furthers etc. In 3D it's indirect and done through million formulas, so the result is hard to predict unless you've made a lot 3D art before.People only put up with it because animating 3D is a lot more efficient.
>>566487504Depends, do you dress more like Romero or more like Carmack?
>china can single handedly put you on steams top sellers
>>566487814romeroi dont want a succubus wife bros...

Should i make a dark and serious game or a whimsical goofy game
yikes
>>566488090Dark and serious.
>>566488090this is not the time for goofing. dark and serious.

the eurotards all died.... /agdg/ is dead again................
>>566486232>>5664878093d has this weird side of it that it's a lot more manageable to someone who doesn't have an artistic background. It's much easier to make passable 3d art imo. The problems come when you're trying to make a full 3d game and the amount of assets and polish it needs to look good.
>>566486409Isn't this the one where the dev is like "you can parry a nuclear bomb". A bunch of their posts went viral on twitter
>>566486232it OSRS is your goal, you will be there after <1 month of practice
>>566491318no. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2063390/VA_Proxy/
china isn't picking up the news that my game existshow do I attract their attention? I don't care if they review bomb me later
>>566486529not many from what I've seenmaybe there might be some hidden away in some obscure japanese or korean asset stores but I don't know where to even begin looking for thosethere is this artist/sellerhttps://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/fantasy-character/mmorpg-advanced-warrior-medieval-fantasy-modular-character which might be good if the modularity extends across their other character packs but I'm not sure and they're expensive
>>566491117>to make passable 3d artYou mean to make crap... or things like realistic 3D pillar, SUV or ironically distorted Sanic. You still need to understand art to make even Quake 1 level texture from 1996.
>>566487814You can tell Romero was one of those weird coolkid nerd hybrids while the others were just nerds.
>>566491661There's a lot of ways to improvize and stylize when it comes to 3d art. You can get away with flat colors, gradients or you can use programs like substance painter and even turn that into pixelized textures. With 2d you got one path and that's to make good art. There's no way around it.
>>566491969>With 2d you got one path and that's to make good art. There's no way around it.You have 40 years of game art to imitate. Just put down basic shape of your game object, put down layer of neutral color, put down layer of shadows, add some highlights where light hits and if it still looks a little flat, overlay a texture of material or draw a reflection. 2D art is a method, you don't need to be DaVinci.

>>566493082idk depends how much he spent on it and how long it took to dev but it's not doing terribly
>>566493735pretty sure running ads on two platforms for a year would run you 20k, that's before considering production costs.

beating the claude estimates for art development time, which is greatbut the coder is slower than claude estimates, which is not so great
how do I find a coder? Im fine doing everything else except the coding. Its too frustrating to me.t. artfag
>>566495464just pick something that uses JS or Python so you have infinite examples to copy
>>566495596>ask to find a coder>just do it yourselfgreat advice, now read the question
>>566495652have fun being completely helpless and dependent then(But an actual answer is joining a discord and networking + local meetups)
>>566495464I'd do it i was making a moba but I'm getting sick
Are the gamedev jews trying to sabotage marnie?
>>566496182we're making a roguelite but its 2D digitally drawn. everything is fleshed out already in the development document its just that the current coder is extremely slow
>>566495464artfag here. just use AI. they used AI to steal your art, use AI to steal their code it's only fair.
>>566494609oh.. rip
>>566495759thanks
when picking fonts for your game do you guys just pick the first fitting one you see or do you browse fonts for 5 hours like a fucking retard
>>566496230Iranian drone wants to know his location
>>566495464>>566496287AI coding is great if you can grasp the code and are smart enough to define the prompts to get good resultsI wish I were an artfag so I could handle that side better and easymode the code through AI
>>566496331I asked claude to suggest 10 fonts that would fit and to show them with my games colors/bg etc in a grid. I just used a google font
>>566496230He's buying a game but wanted a curator? What the fuck does that even mean? What was he expecting and how did he miss that it's an incremental game?>>566496331I pick the first one that fits and then I keep browsing for 5 hours trying to find a better one and then go with the first one.
>>566496414that's true, I sometimes forget that I am and artfag and ex-coder(unityanwers copypaster), I have experience handling spaghetti and making it work
>>566496562>An incremental game where you go from small-scale MMO development studio up to global market domination. if you don't know the 'incremental' genre, this just reads as kind of general description for any kind of studio tycoon game
>>566496230>the devs must've accidently made the game in the wrong genre!holy lmaoly
>>566485150>make a basic room based dungeon generator>throw it at opus 4.7>tell it to make the results not retarded
>>566497084just gamer things
>>566496331>when picking fonts for your game do you guys just pick the first fitting one you see or do you browse fonts for 5 hours like a fucking retardMy game supports TTF, if player wants another font he can change it.

>>566498282no it's getting off the internet and grinding on your game without distractions.
>>566484772I am making a puzzle game of sorts, why do you ask, friend?
>>566486409>>566486289https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5EZarsaNK8I hate gamers.
>>566491613yeah i know about this artist, but too asian looking and mostly females and feel a little cartoony, i wish there's a course for the chinese korean semi realistic style searched coloso and it's either anime gacha style or women nothing about male characters except photorealism
>>566498704too asian looking when you were after modern ff style or korean mmorpgs?
>>566496230>probably unintentionallymy keks are in orbit
>>566498921yeah i want the style with clean skin and similar proportions just not the asian features
>>566498684>hmm that's not so bad>10 seconds later>[*sniff sniff*]he's laughing his way to the bank I guess.
>>566494416Exactly, you don't root for golden spoon babies with industry connections. you root for the underdog brazilian who made a game while dodging bullets in xer favella.
you shouldn't make games on genres you're not already a fan and heavy player off.
>>566499743I know this is solid advice but>missing out on friendslop buxx>missing out on incremental/gambleslop buxx>action game player(make subpar mimic and take 4 years to do so)
>>566499889Nta, u should build your codebase game to game in a way that if some new current year popular slop comes around and it's close to what you like, you can build something in no time.For example people with code for an Isaac-like could make a survivor-like pretty easely
>>566499074when you get too specific the only option you have is to make it yourself
>>566491739or maybe that cool/nerd dichotomy wasn't what it usually gets simplified to in movies and tv shows
If you want to try it, it's finally on the play store. Ios by 2027 i hopeOnly One Tower - Idle Defense
>>566498282>is this really the secret to success?it's more of a consequence of being destined for success. there's every case playing out with so many people in the world, but typically if you're the kind of person who's going to make it, you're also the kind of person who people will love and support, and vice versa
Some guy made a game with a concept I've always dreamed. Meanwhile I haven't even completed my demo yet. I feel completely steamrolled. Like a little blood pulp typing this right now.
>>566500812good luck anon, looks polisheddid you do the pre-registration thing?did you do any marketing?
>>566500829I'm sure all the forever alone faggots that pass every night on discord are not rustled at all by that information
>>566499743Why not?
>>566501327Thank you. No, i released in open beta and applied for the early testing thing, i'll see in the following days if it makes the cut or not.0 marketing for now, i need to see if the game works out. If yes, in 2-3 months i can start dropping $500 in ads each month
>>566502107Early testing -> i meant Early Access
>>566501284cool, now you can move on to another idea
expected the tranny having a melty over his art in the discord to come back, hopefully he roped
>>566486076always has been>>>/wsg/6145119
>>566499653This is a red flag
Holy shit
>>566500313>finishing a game isn't hard enough, now you need to make it extendable for FOTM opportunitiesthat's completely unrealistic pie in the sky thinking
>>566499743everyone should make a mech game, especially if you are not a fan, that way we will get more unique takes instead of mechwarrior and armored core being the only ones allowed. pls make mech games
>>566502781either zero self awareness or zero shamein either case I wish I had some of that

>>566503042didn't even sound like him
>>566503298yeah it's probably fake
>>566503250fuck it I'd take all the praise I can get
>>566502921I don't wanna bust your balls, but if you are already making a driving game, and by chance a meme new type of driving game becomes popular, shouldn't be easier for you to build a meme-prototype than the rest of us that has never done anything related to driving?I'm taking car handling, ui for the speed and shit like thatHow do you think most of 2d platformer pivoted to roguelites that fast some years ago? And why all card games where slay the spire likes, and now they are balatro likes>those people don't have a soul and trust in their own ideaProbably.
>>566503710ideally yes. in practice you haven't even finished ONE game so don't give advice that makes it even harder to finish a game. in fact, don't give advice. finish and publish at least one game and then give advice even though you still wouldn't be qualified but whatever
>>566503872Totally agree.But imo these kind of feedback on mindset can be useful like playing other dev's demo on dd. Of course I'm also talking in theory, and I would probably don't put my project away because a new meme genre has raised and it's time to search for gold on Klondike's mountains. Also this is an amateur thread, not a "I've released at least a game" thread.At that point let's make "I've made a game that sold something" thread and "I'm a full time dev" thread
my current game is so easily converted into an incremental.. maybe i'd be stupid not to try
>>566504762*post release as a new game I mean, I'm seeing this one through
Does anyone want make a world of warcraft clone with me we need coder and artistRune Warden – Heavy tank who carves magical runes into armor and weapons for buffs and crowd control.Blightcaller – Dark caster that spreads disease, summons insects, and drains enemies over time.Storm Dancer – Agile melee fighter using lightning-fast spear attacks mixed with wind magic.Spirit Binder – Support/healer who channels ancestral spirits for healing, shields, and temporary summons.Iron Alchemist – Hybrid ranged class using explosives, potions, and mechanical gadgets in combat.I have more ideas also but dont steal the above just showing you what i can offer
>>566501284either you git gud or you lose
>>566505161I need a good tutorial before I can code an MMORPG like wow
hell yeah, over 300 errors
>>566505161>we need coder and artistyou and everyone else faggiolito get outta here
why would anyone want to clone the most dull MMO ever made
are there any slopcrement with friends games?
>>566505161>we need coder and artistSo, you make the music I assume? Your not Just the ideaguy, right? >>566505470Most wow players have never played anything else, so its all they know>we should make a boss baby-like movie, says guy who only watched boss baby
Here is the trailer
>>566503002I've had this autobattler tactics mech idea for a long time but I can't model good looking mechs so it's been sitting in my idea folder. Figuring out the behavior logic is pretty intimidating too. I should prototype it at some point.
>I wish I could be a sovlfvl dev from the 90s>but gamers keep asking for slop I have to serve it>why are gamers like this?>I wish games would be sovlfvl like they were in the 90s>but devs keep releasing slop so I have to keep buying it>why are gamedevs like this?
>>566506163use AI
>>566505161stale bait
>>566505470It has all the elements to make a good MMO
Everybody wants to make the next WoW but nobody wants to make the next Warcraft. Think about that for a second
>>566506169the difference is that the gamedev responds to market dynamics and demands, whilst the gamer forms it.someone on here once compared devving games to dating, where gamers are the foids. maybe that analogy will explain things to you.
is E+Q for block and dodge okay? shift, space, ctrl , right click are already taken
>>566505824>Your not Just the ideaguy, right?not at all. I am a freelance game designer, you will never have to worry about our game failing because I know what players wantim willing to take you under my wing if you are a coder or artist.
>>566506937no
>>566506956what about scroll wheel for dodging? or i should just copy dmc and have dodge behind lock on but i think people hate that
>>566506937A and D for dodging
>>566506903So it's just an issue of economics and a bunch of political think tanks farming easy votes?
>>566506937maybe middle mouse button?
>>566507457>right click are already taken
>>566486232thats like asking "is drawing or coding harder", it heavily depends on where your talents and skills lie and what level you're aiming for.
Should i use unity or godot
>>566507236What?>>566507330clicking the middle mouse always feel like shit at least with my cheap mouses maybe scrollng for dodge?>>566507457why are you pretending to be me?
which is the best place to learn programming and with AI is that even necessary still?
>>566507587Press A to dodge left and D to dodge right
should i make a fps game like fortnite or valorant. which will have more players
>>566507669WASD is already taken for movement
>>566506946>I am a freelance game designerNah I dont work with mercenaries. I'm already a professional Interactive Medium Architect
Why aren't more people making indie soulslikes? I want to start making one but the lack of them is concerning
>>566507872I can't make a Soulslike because Souls games don't go down in price so I can't afford them so I can't play them so I don't know what Souls games are like so I can't make a game like them.
>>566507751Fortnite is genuinely better than Valorant because at least Fortnite lets you have fun instead of sitting in a corner for 40 minutes listening to someone yell “rotate B” before getting one-tapped by a guy named DemonSlayer#8472 In Fortnite you can crank 90s, hit the griddy as Peter Griffin, drive a shopping cart into a firefight, and survive by drinking glowing blue Gatorade, while Valorant players act like every ranked match is a military operation just to lose to a Jett with 400 hours and no sunlight

>>566507751I think Fortnite isn't an FPS at all...

its happened again, could not post here all day because my mom is now cutting the internet off until 5pm. Says I need to be out of the house, at least this bitch doesnt have the balls to go into my room. I have no idea how im going to finish my game now.
>>566508620We need to get our equivalent of Dew and Doritos advertised on /v/3What about Onions and Man Cereal
>>566508905it's time to become the man of the house
>>566509052already am, I work on my game all day and she doesn't see this as real work. she legit just thinks im gaming all day.
>>566508905You don't have internet on your phone?
>>566508847like anybody who became anything, by winning a lottery. refer to the OP pic
>>566508847his parents were c-suite at IMAX and high ranking members of the academy. He is not just 'some guy'. The thought of being 'some guy' that worked really hard and became an industry chief is a myth that's been sold to you. Even if somehow your game becomes a breakaway success, you'll either A. Be cancelled (a la notch) or B. Get pozzed by your astroturfed fandom into becoming an annoying faggot. If you don't have any kind of boomer root you'll never find true success.
>>566509247a phone for what man, i dont even go out and dont have friends. literally no reason to have one.
>>566509259>>566509308you guys need some positivity
>>566506169you could spend 5x longer to serve something that gets you the same returnsso why would you do that instead of serving slop to gamercattle?
Game development is actually so magical bro. One minute you’re fixing a bug caused by a single missing semicolon and the next you’re questioning your entire existence at 3AM because the player somehow clipped through the floor and launched into orbit. People think game dev is “making games” but it’s really drinking caffeine, prompting like no tomorrow, and saying “it worked yesterday” while your code actively fights back. But honestly… seeing one person say “this game is fun” makes the 700 mental breakdowns worth it
>>566483960How do people go about making money from fan games, like obviously you cant sell them, do they always have them behind paywalls and such?
>>566509634500+ Reviews
>>566509782feet pics
>>566509782You can sell Touhou and Hololive fangames. That's why there are so many of them compared to anything else.
I've made some number changes to the fighter. They now get "power attack" dealing 20 damage and pushing an enemy backwards, it costs 2 actions to do.Its interesting how just cranking the numbers immediatley adds personality.I've also added status effects to the game and a two turn slow to the rangers attack. I wont lie it feels a bit too boring right now so i will probably look for somthing more interesting like pierce or somthing.I've learned a lot about rpg design in this game, I wasn't planning on adding initative but attacking first is such a huge advantage that I feel like I have to.My idea is if your watchtower is a higher level than your enemy you attack first>>566484869

>>566484869forgot to add, are those freshly baked?Also link to the game?
>>566509782patreon donations (and other similar services). usurping the fans from the fangame for their own original project (basically think of fangames as a publicity stunt)
>>566509440Wtf even without friends how do you not have a phone in 2026? Do you take your actual PC to the toilet?
>>566509782>like obviously you cant sell themSure you can, just create a legally distinct IP if the IP holders don't agree with you
>>566509726for me those technical issues are just bumps along the way. the real questioning-your-entire-existence moment is when you made the game you want to make and no one gives a shit and it gets 15 positive reviews and gets forgotten in a week
>>566509726this is bait
Mario Kart DS like? I feel everyone here should make a clone of their childhood games or at least attempt it. That's where the soul of gamedev really is it's in the heart.
>>566509726>seeing one person say “this game is fun” makes the 700 mental breakdowns worth itGratz anon. Though for me, simple going from bashing your head in trying to solve a glitch to it suddenly working is such a rush of euphoria that that high alone is worth it all. In that fraction of a moment I can suddenly relate to how the pharos and god-kings of old must have felt when they believed themselves to be living gods. Humility comes crashing back in pretty fast, but still, that moment is nice

Try again!">Turns out twitter email verification is fucked and doesn't work>Only option is to send a support ticket and hope the automated system picks it upSo fucking retarded. What a shit site.I hate having to deal with all these social media shitholes.
>>566511012>anime wisdom vs stand up comedy wisdomI can't decide which is more profoundall I can say is people who tell you it's luck aren't trying to sell you their courses
>>566506841RTS is dead
>>566511071deserved for dead naming the Kings platform. It's X now, put some respect on it.
>>566511317Warcraft is more than an RTS
>>566510731just dont start posting your ai cp this time okay?
>>566511373FUCK YOU ELON
>>566511071
>>566511317RTS is a hard genre for dopamine fried zoomers to get into.
>spend months/years making a game>release game>50 new releases stack on top of mine at the same time>then another 50 each day after thatyeah its over
>>566511426>>566510917
The only use I've found for AI so far is I can generate pictures of myself having sex with my oshi and it let's me cum and feel good
>>566512727so sick of snail cat ludds
>>566511071I'm so glad I don't use Xwitter
>>566512412>>spend months/years making shovelware>>release shovelware>>50 new shovelware releases stack on top of mine at the same time>>then another 50 shovelware each day after that
ludstatus?
Learning a little about materials and turns out masking out the wall so you can see your character is really easy
>>566512412this is what's going to happen to ALL members of the gabencunt society.
>>566513126shovelware is always someone else's game, never your own
I'm a luddite
>>566513825I release several new piles of shovelware onto itch each year where they belong. I'm not so delusional to believe anyone would want to pay money for them on Steam. After all, you already know just how much I love this H O B B Y.
>>566514260>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE HECKIN LUDDITERINOS NOOOOOOO DON'T EVEN DARE TO KEEP WORKING ON YOUR GAME!!!!!!!>YOU LOST>YOU LOST>YOU LOST
>>566514465I will explain why i am
>>566514332you're releasing unfinished projects and jamslop
>>566513126stop coping, it doesn't matter if its shovelware or not the fact is there's too much supply. Gamedev is dead. Software development in general is dead.
>>566514332hello zukjeetcare to post those itch games of yours then?
>>566514531AKA shovelware. You just don't want to admit to yourself that your trash is no better.
>>566514693until you release a finished game, you're beneath me
>>566514907Projects are never finished. Only released. It really doesn't matter how much time you waste polishing a turd.
I like making jamslop, it's fun
>>566515081>>566514693zukjeet, are you gonna post your own games or not? you talk so much of them, i'd like to finally see them>i don't want to associate-nuh-huh. you don't get that. nuns and guns dev posted here quite openly and nobody gives a shit. so there's no reason for you not to post your "shovelware", as you yourself put it
I know how to make a visually appealing game already but how do I make a game that's actually fun to play
>>566515284it's just not possible, if you don't find them fun to play then you can't make fun games.
>>566515081>didn't finish a game yetyou're like a virgin talking about sex to a sexhaver. you have nothing to contribute on the subject
>>566515254Guns and Nuns dev is one person. "Zukjeet" is a dozen different anons, many of whom have conflicting opinions, and yet you're still too low-IQ to figure out who's who. I am content to remain anonymous.
>>566515284fun is an outdated concept
>>566511389make it an autobattler so that there's no micro but players can give generic "go there" commands to the units
>>566515618>deflectionas expected. the games you claim to have are not real. got it. that makes you even more pathetic than what >>566515502 said
>>566515081you got roasted hard homie, time to call it the day
>>566515756That doesn't bother me. I've had more sex than both of you combined.
>>566515915you are coping hard dude
>>566515942>That doesn't bother me.sure it doesn't. it's why you keep coming to this dying website and this dying general to convince everyone that you are totally a gamedev and a sex-haver.
>>566515942
ok that's enough leave the sex god alone, before this general ends up on a suicide note.
>>566516279hey buddy shut the FUCK upok?
>>566515727I don't think you're ready to have this conversation
>>566516046I'm just an anonymous whodev. I'm not here to convince anyone anything about myself. Facts are facts regardless of who says it.I'm here to convince you to make better games and have sex.
>>566516481We don't do the sex thing anymore boomer. It's ick.
>>566515081>Projects are never finished. Only released.Hard disagree. Shoving as much shit as you can into a game is its own sort of perfection, but only if you really lean into it as a defining quality of your game imo
>>566516561I'm not asking.
I am content with my jamslop for the moment
>>566369010I tried using AI for multiplayer, it.....ehhh.....I was looking at potentially months of learning how to do multiplayer so....idk how useful AI could even be in that state. I don't get where all these friendslop devs are learning multiplayer. I tried using relevant youtube tutorial vids but they clearly aren't of quality. In fact one of the tutorials was made by a girl, Samyam iirc, who later admitted she had trouble with multiplayer in a game she released! Where am I supposed to learn this stuff???? It's not easy or straightforward!!! I've looked at the relevant docs, they're as obtuse as Unity's docs to where a youtube tutorial would be needed or simply brute forcing the code until it works. Aieeeeeee!!!!
>>566516990multiplayer is not for anime brainrottershave you considered detoxing and regaining your brain cells?
>>566516990I'm working on a multiplayer game with Claude right now actually. It suggested breaking it apart into steps so I'm just on the making a single player prototype phase. We will see how fucked it is when trying to do multiplayer. But AI feels like one of tools where it only helps if you already know what your doing. "Make me MMO" will fail, but if you give it a functional game and ask it to split your code it into an authoritative server and a client for player visuals and inputs that communicate with each other, and then ask it to handle multiple clients it after that works, it Might work out?
>>566496230Theres that one guy suspected of doing this. He'd show up to their streams and just whine and complain>I am going to tell Valve you are tellings subs to buy your game and leave a positive review!!!!Dude is ugly btw and I suspect he is jealous of Marnix's looks kek. He is the guy that worked with Aarimous to make A Game About Feeding A Blackhole. Quite a stark difference when you look at Aarimous and then look at the ugly guy. Both Marnix and Aarimous mog this guy hard. I woupd kot be surprised if he hated Code Monkey for looking like Giga Chad.
>>566515620But league of legends aram mayhem gamemode is fun and new
>>566509308>>566508620geoff is worse than some guy hes a faggot with the worst fucking takes that actively ruins games kirby air riders didnt win shitnightreign didnt win shitfires of rubicon didnt win shithe represents the big wigs who said godhand was ass fuck him and his gay lil swedish ass name what the fuck is a geoff anyways some fucking rock pokemon??
>>566516990>I don't get where all these friendslop devs are learning multiplayer.Any CS or engineering degree teaches networking. Stay in school, kids.
>>566517721Is it even against the rules to ask your subscribers to buy your game?
>>566516990of course you don't you tranime spamming freak
>>566516481>whodevit's really funny how you use this word without understanding what it means at all. so much for all the "high iq" posting>I'm here to convince you to make better gamesi'm not sure how saying "actually u suck lol" any time someone voices (valid) concerns over the modern games market, and how all of that is supposed to turn them into better devs, but then again i don't understand many other things about indian culture.
>>566496230This is why we need review reviewers
How do you get rid of this pit of misery burning in my chest
>>566518453embrace it because shit only gets more intense from here
>>566517710I've noticed you already need knowledge for it and then having to guide it in small steps. But that means already having a decent knowledge base on the overall flow. Having to learn this when there is no easy source to learn from? I just gave up and went off to work on a singleplayer game.>>566517912>ignores all the kids without college degrees making multiplayer games
>>566518453cake and chinese food
1) Never kill yourself2) Work on your game3) See you tomorrow.
There is almost zero overlap between the type of game I like working on and the type of game I like to play. Does that suggest I should pursue a different endeavor altogether?
>>566518865how does that even happen

>>566518628>I've noticed you already need knowledge for it and then having to guide it in small stepsIts basically like a calculator now that I think about it. It makes your life much easier, but if you dont understand how the math works a calculator is still useless to you
>>566518960No
