What are your key personal game design tenets?
why is Alphabet calling me out like this?
nobody post their penis haha
>>566662621For me, it's good tutorialization. Beyond that, it's just gamba, juice, and appeal.
>>566662402> Its more me thinking how the fuck this guy got the game stableBy coding? Are you chicken dev?
I want to make an rpg so bad but I know it's a terrible idea as I'd get locked into it for at least 2 years
>>566663176Did you make this?
day 4 of not being able to alert the chinese people to the existence of my game
>>566663542Chang here. Let's see it.
reminder that in order to ericmaxx you should be watching basketball
>>566663721He's perfect and everyone knows it.
>>566663684you'll steal my idea before I release it
>>566663802Does Stardew have combat
I'm cute
>>566663096This map looks almost identical to a game I like, that has used AI for voice over and stuff. Damn.
>>566662621does it make me smile
>>566663805Yes, but...
>>566663897yes
>>566663163I’m just angry at how I don’t feel like my game is stable.
>>566663721watching sports is gay
>>566664260it keeps crashing?
Roosterdev is smarter than me but he's humbling himself with his ai and I just want him to show me him without ai on github
>>566663960you can see in the corner it was made with inkarnate which is a popular fantasy map program, which explains why it looks familiaras for the content it just looks like truly meaningless word salad that states nothing
Look i already said it proprietary devs don't go to heaven
uuughhghghhgghghhghgsave me yesdevs...
>>566664270not watching sports is gay
>>566664320No, not at all actually.I mean stable in that the enemy has a bad habit of just… Forgetting what it’s doing
should I have incelcore and pornogrind music in my game or is that too farI don't want a boomer soundtrack
I think you should make your own music
>>566663721isn't that a sport for n-words?

>>566664260>>566664660Avoid doing state swaps outside of the currently active state. Put more things into functions. Make your states smaller and more specific.
>only ever made mobile slop>now gives advice for a living on how to make gameswhere do these guys think they have any authority to give this advice? He can't code well, has made zero good games. What makes him think he knows any more than the average gamer?
>>566666171Where's your game
>>566666171he failed as a gamedev so now he has to be a gamedev youtubershrimple
>>566666171if he wasn't an "authority" he wouldn't be making videos and thus money, right? don't tell me you think people with authority as a whole have earned or deserve it
>>566665987Aren’t you supposed to switch states based on data?
>>566666171those who can't, teach
if you don't make your own sfx you aren't a real dev
>>566666920I should release my game with all the placeholder sfx that are just my mouth sounds
>>566666920>if you don't make your own sfx you aren't a real dev
>>566666920I was surprised how easy it is to make sound fx. Even a violin note can be so many different things after you shape or mangle it.
>it bworks
>>566665270>isn't that a sport for n-words?
if you dont smoke marijuana tha lettuce you probably arent devving with soul aha 420

>>566667774https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xghgfp3jwUseems even zooms are growing skeptical of the herb
>>566666171The game he's working on right now looks pretty good. It's not a mobile game. So has in fact worked on non-mobile games.>where do these guys think they have any authority to give this advice?He has taught game design in college. Do you also need to have had cancer to teach medicine? Why do you think that the value of someone's statement is based on their "authority"? Do you have criticisms of anything he has actually said?>What makes him think he knows any more than the average gamer?A combination of education, experience and positive feedback (people report that they have learned valuable information from him, and his YouTube channel is very successful)
>>566668002>He has taught game design in collegekek
>>566667938how do you know its me unless the herb opened your third eye>>566667987not my nephew i heard from my sister he's still blazin it good family tradition i smoked it look at me and it made me hot
>>566668002>Why do you think that the value of someone's statement is based on their "authority"?Low-IQs love appeal from authority. It's the only thing they can understand.
>>566666920i make all my sfx with my mouth
>>566668002there's no way he knows more than a gamer though, given that he doesn't actually play games
>>566667774Didn't you fucking listen to fygoon
my brain was overheating from all the gamedev so I intentionally went bald to I could dev more efficiently, intentionally
>>566668769i'm 35 and still have all my youthful hair
and so it's come to this
>>566667774>>566668689
>>566669180programming book? in the age of ai?laff
>>566669241ai doesn't teach discipline or proper form, and on top of that will not help you think in code and requires subscriptions to learn more than a page a day while retaining past information>inb4 localllms are incredibly resource intensive
>>566667234can I see the proggy?
i broughted a new synthesizer but i think im gonna use sunowhy did i do it
>>566669543>llms are incredibly resource intensiveReally? Will they bust you like a grow op?
>>566670040if its a sovl synth then use it to make sovlif its some behringer trash then you may as well use suno anyway same shit
>>566670040buying things with a goal of being productive often just gives you the productivity dopamine and then you neglect the thing you bought
>>566667234my wife looks like this
I dreamed that my mom found my AI-generated stash of pictures of my niece, now i am too stressed to dev
>>566670040>i broughted a new synthesizer but i think im gonna use suno>why did i do it
>>566668002>taught game design in college>had only made mobile slop at the timemy point still stands
wait could i get a game design job as a professor?
>Post progress>No reply, only dramasI see you guys are still scums and garbage
the only real devs are the programmers artists and musicians are just doing their own thing it's not gamedev it's more like be a musician or a art person fake
>>566670567what about the AI-generated stash of pictures of your mom
>>566664812pleasant
>>566670567how do you generate pics of real people now that grok is gone? i don't want to generate of any family members just of hot female e-celebs
Does this do it for you? Like in the "Shit, he's coming to beat my ass" way?
>>566664812do a subdivision on the mesh to improve the vertex lighting
>>566671297no, but I'm not about to tell you how to make your game anon
>>566664812I liek. This could be a nice P&C adventure game
>>566671297no he looks too grotesque to beat my assugly things are meant to be bashed to death
>>566671297it lacks the hip swap
>>566671297dude you should really take a month or so and just focus on learning to do good animations, like really study it, it will help you a lot.you have to add more movement than just pitching, add some roll to the center body when that side leg is up, make the body go up and down when the feet hits the ground, look at videos and animations of velociraptors for reference.
>>566671297head should cycle forward and backward
>>566670015I will upload my proggy to YouTube later tonight.
>>566671490What could I do?>>566671667I mean he can throw out roundhouse kick combos
>>566672008>>566671835hes actually getting tunnel vision with just 1 monster better animations wont help as much as more enemy types unless his whole game is fighting costco chickens
>>566671297Bing "secondary motion"
>>566672128but learning animations now on his first enemy will improve every enemy that comes after
>>566672043nice
>>566672040Anon I intentionally avoided doing that because birds are gyroscopically stable >>566671835Hip swap?>>566672128Actually this is a separate monster from the usual chicken. It's the upgraded form.Also I have multiple enemy types already.
>>566672404>Hip swap?Hip sway*
>>566671297rig and animate this little fella https://models.spriters-resource.com/playstation_2/godofwar2/asset/332609/
ludstatus?
This is coming along nicely! I think i can release the new minigame at the latest tomorrow.
Hey AI comic guy. Do comics with fygoon gong forward
How do you guys think gamedev is going to adapt to the fact that AI means you can steal people's memetics before they've even been externalized?Or that they can echo your flame and lawyers don't know what the fuck that means yet?
>>566672631winning
>>566672864ludliar
>>566672665Fygoon admitted defeat to my game long ago.
>>566672089if you intend for the head to stay in position as it walks, you have to move the body morethe main body should go up and down as the knees bend, have it sway a little like anon said with hip swapan interesting choice would be to have the neck scrunch and stretch, but the head remains smooth, almost inversely to how a bird moves. this could be especially good for effect when turning as it would pivot where its head isI can't really explain that last point properly so you'll just have to imagine it
>>566673039You mean like, procedural animation? Get his head to turn just before he does?
>>566673039>>566671667>>566671835>>566672128Like what, this?
>>566673561make him move backwards more dramatically and add circus music
>>566673561google velociraptor animation
>>566673561me after someone pinched my nips
>>566673561son... just quit
>>566673561My advice is really think about it then do what you think is correct rather than what you assume other people think is correct
>>566673561i like this make it mini me and make it purple truss me
>>566673980What am I doing wrong?
>>566663721WHERE'S THE FUCKING VIDEO!?!?!?!?!
>>566674138But I don't trust my own judgement on anything.How can I know if I'm doing something right if someone else, who's opinion is inherently more valuable than my own, doesn't say so?I know it sounds like I'm baiting, but this is how I genuinely think, and I'm not sure if it's a bad mindset
>>566674579subscribe to espn or look for an illegal stream
>trying to help as cris-tier dev
>>566674607bruh your real problem is anxiety and the only fix is to work on a smaller game first to up your confidenceyou are in way over your head, don't take it as an insult you just aren't ready yet
>>566674607how are you ever gonna make any art if you can't commit? you just gonna rely on other peoples opinions? you have to be able to judge whether or not something looks good
>>566674992Confidence is for people who don't want to be better
>>566674607>How can I know if I'm doing something right if someone else, who's opinion is inherently more valuable than my own, doesn't say so?False assumption unless you consider yourself an incompetent retard. Thing is if you keep asking and chasing feedback without understanding what the goal is (yourself) you'll only upset the people trying to help you.
>>566675201what in tarnation
i have to make money...i have to make money...i have to make money...i HAVE to MAKE MONEY
>>566674998I mean, they're more valuable than my own It's why I absolutely hate it, and in fact reject it as valid, when my friends or family say something I did is "Good" because they KNOW me.Strangers opinions are the ONLY opinions that matter to me because they're untainted by previous knowledge of me.>>566675304I DO consider myself an incompetent retard because that's what I'm treated as around here. Thus, it's the truth.
>>566675201Having the confidence to fail spectacularly then try again is the fastest way to improve
>>566675161Where's the fygoon comic
>>566675397you need to reimagine your game as a gameboy advance or DS game or some shityour current path is not sustainable
>>566675424Anon, I do nothing BUT fail spectacularly.
>>566675397>Strangers opinions are the ONLY opinions that matter to me because they're untainted by previous knowledge of me.This is valid to a point>I DO consider myself an incompetent retard because that's what I'm treated as around here. Thus, it's the truth.Grow a pair, if someone calls you retarded prove them wrong don't just agree with them
Should I make a game I like playing or one that I think will be popular?
You will never be this successful
>>566675662either, but not both
>>566667234Becky...

Stop existing.
give gamers what they want
>>566663721what was he doing in jew york?
>>566679129I don't know what gamers want.
>>566679383The gamers yearn for AI generated incremental games.
>>566679494Ok, I'll see what I can do.
>>566676002There are surely better "maker" ideas than this
>>566676707Idk the game score was low and the devs locked the subreddit and removed Russian language. Maybe it's not doing that bad...
>>566663721>didnt take girlfriend>didnt take any of his boys is eric just pretending to be a normalfag?
>>566679689>normalfagWhat gave you that idea?Bro was working a register while devving on the side for 5 years. Normals don't do that
>>566679671>removed Russian languagewhy?
>>566679914no russian
Answer honestly.If your game sold a million copies, and you made about $1.5 million after taxes.Will you still be making games?Or you will become lazy and find all kind of excuses then start & never finish projects?
>>5666802231.5m is not retirement money, you must be some thirdie lmao
>>566680223absolutely. in fact that's my plan. earn enough to make games untill my heart gives up because of sedentarism
>>566679671They didn't remove Russian, it's a bug and the fact another game with a similar name did remove it.It's crazy how random rumors can fuck your launch.
>>566680223i would buy a cybertruck and put the rest in the stock market get lazy but still put out titles just to lord over agdg as supreme king
>>566680223I would need another two games like that to retire
>>566680223I'd move to Japan and start a gamedev company there and yes, I'd still be making games, but in Japan with a team.
>>566680223I would still make them, but not release them. Gamers do not deserve them
>>566678870>AI bot scraping my AI generated code
>>566680223Hell yeah, now I can get a staff to make them faster!
i have been thinking, anyone else?

>>566679671Aren't Russians reasonable about their language? I watched a YouTuber Russian review of a game from here and they talked about how the game didn't have a Russian localization but it was a one man game so they were understanding of it not being the case

Ripoff!!!
>>566682596Jonas tyroller
>>566682131Russians like Underspace? Based.
>>566682751Most of Jonas's game design videos came out BEFORE he made any successful games. Was the information in his videos invalid back then because he hadn't made it yet? Does the information in the videos magically become more correct after he made it, even though the videos themselves never changed?
so how does this eceleb infatuation work are you like in a relationship with them or what?
>>566683536Don't watch those. Watch his new stuff. Duh. He even made a 'i was wrong video'
>>566683620I jerk it while reading their posts over and over and especially the ones where we respond to each other
>>566683620branno got a fat hog!
Is it possible to steal the nintendo audience? If you make something as good as classic nintendo games will the tendies come?
>>566683620I have no real friends
>>566683683His "I was wrong" video didn't 99% of the things he's said before. It was also more like nuanced clarifications like "flow is a component of fun" -> "fun IS flow". Why don't you just admit to yourself that you're a low-IQ who loves appeal from authority? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
>>566683746He showed us his flop?
>>566683757You can definitely capitalize on some nostalgia, but unless you have A+ art and polish, it's gonna feel amateur and "not the same".Indie games that have that distinct "amateur 3D" always look and feel bad
>>566683929Hog games are the future.
>>566683931>but unless you have A+ art and polishThat's what I'm aiming for NGLMy stuff is developing a yoshi/mario RPG vibe
>>566683917Kek relax nigger. I just said his name and you went all schizo
>>566683757>>566684065yeah that's not how that works
>>566684190then how does it work?hard mode: DONT SAY AI
>>566684089Nah, kill yourself. You're never going to make a good game.
>>566684245you can't recreate an audience as fanatic as that with current market conditions
>>566684245nta, but you're probably not gonna magically make a competitive nintendo-like for your first few games.It's something you'll have to build towards and refine with atleast several shipped games of experience.
>>566684396Hmm maybe notBut can you get a toby "radiation" fox level audience?
>>566684461I don't think so
>>566683218Not surprising. they love Morrowind
>>566684263You are projecting.
>>566684445>It's something you'll have to build towards and refine with atleast several shipped games of experience.I'm unironically developing my games in the exact same way prime nintendo did, AKA, make a 30 second loop and spend months on that until it's perfect and then you can just copy+paste that out for a whole game and people will call it a masterpiece. I have spent the past 2 months on art style alone, it has to be perfect. and not i'm not gonna show what it looks like
so what if an indie Sims competitgor was made?
I'm making a Pragmata-like.
>>566684530We should make an easily localizable Morrowlike
>>566684642it'd get forgotten about like inzoi https://store.steampowered.com/app/2456740/inZOI/A better idea is an expanded Lost In Blue / tropical island survival god-game
>>566684672so bored of social media "art" like this its potato chips empty calories
>>566684870inzoi didn't have any whimsical sovl that the Sims had.
>>566684642Paralives?
>>566684672I saw one of those beforehttps://x.com/JuiceboxPixel/status/2053673922210758893
>>566684970true, i don't think koreans grasp "soul" yet
>>566684642Sim 4 is free so it would either have to be insanely good or it would have to be humorous in some way.
>>566684916Fan art is empty most of the time. Just an artist trying to feed himself by riding the FOTM wave

>>566686145C'mon buddy lets talk it out what's your real beef with AI? You really like coding that much?
>>566686241nta but I do actually.Learning different prog langs is fun
>>566683536hes so beautiful here. i hope he gets a hair transplant with his dev money
>>566686310show us what you made with them
should I spam ai cunny now or save that for tomorrow?
>>566686241NTA, but I enjoy AI. I hate faggots like you for ruining AI for others. Potential AI converts are turned off by your raging homosexuality.
>>566686562I think he is straight and based, unlike you.
>>566686310>Learning different prog langs is funkek this already feels like an archaic sentence

>My Little Assassin Can't Be This Cute?! And How I Learned To Be A Father And Contract Killer!
>>566665987Honestly, I'm unsure as to how much more specific I could getMy problem seems to be twofold>Movement gets locked when it shouldn't>Rotation seems to get locked when it shouldn't
>>566688326damn nigguh it ain't just the animations the code is fuckin you two?
>>566686937ass too big
>>566688447Actually, it's less that the rotation gets locked and more that it gets desynced. Like, an enemy will just run at you ass-first for some reason
How much water and electricity are being wasted genning these demoralization comics no one will read...

>>566688656My enemy has a grand total of 6 states
>>566688448I thought AI couldn't keep characters consistent? How come it's churning out these comics just fine?
>>566688872If you don't have a solid mental model to know how to debug the state, then you've lost control and need to redo it.
>>566689103>fell for lus liesgrim
>>566662343me on the left
>>566668002whats his game? i cant fucken...i cant fucking find it....
>>566689103sorry about your face blindness anon
>>566689103That's been outdated for like a year. The newer models can handle it and even across multiple images. We always hear about how good AI coding has gotten but everyone has their head in the sand when it comes to AI art. Its really funny. They're both good now.
>>566689120I just find it very strange that I've explicitly gone out of my way to make enemy rotation as controlled and player-locked as possible, only for it to desync time and time again. It's been a problem from day fucking one.
>>566689504
This is all it takes to win bigly
>>566689626guns and nuns if good
>>566689450yeah, it's the universe informing you that you need to fix your foundation before you move on.Chances are, you have too many "sources of truth" (in flux game state) in your design, and need to reduce them (ideally to one)

>>566689719Anime girls are flop-proof. The reason so many games here flop brutally is because they don't have anime girls or memes.
>>566689684I just did some debugging with a box collider, and I realized something.It's the enemy model that's continuously desynced from the rotation of the foundational capsule, which is actually working just fine.Which I find odd because I explicitly went out of my way to program in a method that makes the enemy model and capsule 1-1 with their rotation. Maybe that's just jittery?

>lus see this cutie and feel anger
LMAO
>>566690094In all honesty, the thing at the back of my mind that's bugging me on a game design level is the moveset of the player.Here's how it actually works:There is one attack button, no more. Your combos are determined entirely by if you tap, pause or hold your button down. It means I have no dedicated launcher or heavy attack button.More importantly, the actual attacks in of themselves. Look at this attack. This is performed via attack-pause-attack. The animation is crude, yes, but that's besides the point. Problem is, should I even be using an attack such as this for such an input? https://youtu.be/q6oWXg3ylwk?t=19I look at DMC3 and they do a similar sort of thing on a base level for the same input, but I'm just not feeling it. Like, even if the animation was better, would it even be a worthwhile move?

Has anyone here actually made a game with AI?
>>566691393my uncle
>>566691393i remember that purposefully jank all-AI game an anon was making in unreal. I wonder what happened to him.

I'm a programmer and I'm working with an artist but I'm also somewhat of an artist its just that our artstyles are not compatible. I like doing art stuff so I'm making two games at the same time with the same mechanics but radically different settings. Is this retarded?
>>566694664I will list 10 things for (You), The game is lacking multiple weapons, hard bosses, a main badguy, original move names, competent voice acting, your MC being competent in cutscenes, optional side missions, enemy variety, castles, and your super form.
>>566695249>artstyles are not compatibleSkill issue. Any good artist can adapt to any art style, just like how any good programmer can program in any language/architecture.

Been updating how damage works, and now I've changed up the damage numbers. It will have a little star next to it if it's crit damage. Crit damage will be specific to tactics used in combat, like strikes from behind.
Is this stupid, scary, or both. At least I have all my basic animations for this model done.
>>566696201its beautiful
>>566696081It has it. YouTubers say there's audio balance problems.
>>566695395Ye but that's not fun though and I like making art for fun
>>566696519Shame, seems the dev was passionate about it
>>566696564Passion and effort alone does not a good game make.
>>566696660That's harsh
>>566696749Reality is harsh.
>>566696201good
>>566697041>>566696391I don't believe you

>>566697338I want you to look at this >>566691519 and try to explain how you would make it better.
>>566697483I can't. How can I improve a sexy momma like that?
>>566697483Boobs closer together and more proportionate.
>>566697678Then I can't improve your scrumptious poultry either.
>>5666974831. don't literally mirror the face2.look up an actual female body so you can model a proper chest and breasts
>>566697756Anon that's not me
>>566696564I see this as a good thing, this entire image should join that dev in the sub-80 reviews club.
>>566698185Why do people here use reviews as a success thing when we can literally look at the player count
>>566698276because most indie games rarely get amazing concurrent players, so reviews are a more stable metric for approximate success.
>>566696749do note that you were talking to a punjab retard who doesn't understand the difference between the words "good" and "successful"
>>566698462Yeah but isn't there like a chart stat that says how many dudes bought it?
>>566698625not a reliable one, no. Unless the dev talks about it, you typically extrapolate from reviews + word of mouth popularity (if any)
does anybody else hate the>dude just make small games to start off withpiece of advice? i literally cannot come up with any idea for a "small project" that actually interests me because small simple games are boring.
>>566698838pong
>>566698727That seems a tad unreliable. Why write a review in this day and age when you can just go on social media and say you liked it?
>>566698838You hate it for the same reason you hate diet and exercise, fatty.
>>566667234>bworks
>>566698898that's never the kind of game those people mean though, they mean "make and ship an actual small game"pong isn't fun anyway>>566698960>just force yourself to spend months/years making a game you actually despise
>>566698928people who write reviews like validation and feel their opinion is important enough to share. That's also why valve added upvotes for them.Twxtter (You)s are inflated and not worth much these days.

>>566699079Learn to enjoy small games. If you only want to make bigger games, you should be trying to find a way to get a job at a studio.
>>566699079listen man if you want to gamedev you need at least 5 ideas for games to make so you can projecthop until you find your gem
>>566699079if you can't think of small game ideas you probably don't play them which could be a problem
>>566699147>Learn to enjoy small gameshow does one learn to enjoy something?>If you only want to make bigger games, you should be trying to find a way to get a job at a studio.well, no, because i don't want to be a cog in a machine working to make some corporate asswipe's "vision" a reality. i want to make my OWN shit.and i'm not saying i want to make something AAA, just more complicated than mobileslop or the typical 2d indie platformer. i like strategy and simulation.
JMPJUST MAKE PONG
>>566692262Twitter views is useless unless it breaks the gamedev circlejerk containment
>>566689949>Anime girls are flop-proof. The reason so many games here flop brutally is because they don't have anime girls or memes.
>>566699325>how does one learn to enjoy something?By trying them out. As this anon points out >>566699194, you can't think of smaller games you want to make because you don't play them. There are plenty of small strategy and simulation games.
>>566699181i have plenty of ideas, but the problem with all of them is the same: the scope is too big>>566699194yeah i don't play small games. i'm too autistic to enjoy bing bing wahooing, i need something more mentally stimulating. like i said in my other post, strategy and simulation are my favourite elements in games.>>566699483i did that like 15 years ago with game maker
>>566699325Steam is full of strategy and sim games. People actually complain about how many are on Humble Bundle because of it.
>>566699632>i need something more mentally stimulating. like i said in my other post, strategy and simulation are my favourite elements in games.play Thronefall
>>566699128I mean it's meant to look more distorted?Like he's shattering his anatomy to do that shit
>>566699632post one of your ideas then
>>566698838>>566699079A "small game" idea could literally just be whatever game you care about but the scope trimmed way down. Demon's Souls is a small game when you take into account that it eventually became Elden Ring.
>>566699603>There are plenty of small strategy and simulation gamesare there actually? i've never heard of any>>566699638most of them are "simulations" in the same way that stardew valley is a "simulation" i.e. they are not actually simulationswhen i say "simulation" i mean something like victoria 2 or dwarf fortress. numbers and shit.
What is small?
>>566699971Pong
>>566699971Look in your pants.
>>566699680didnt thronefall take like 4 yrs to make? am i trippin
The original Binding of Isaac was made in 3 months using Flash. Part-time development too btw. Not even full-time. If you can't figure out a game idea that's small but fun to play it's best you drop gamedev.
>>5667000913 years, but he's also a youtuber so the timeline getting dragged out makes a bit more sense.
>>566699971Small game anon always says to make small games but also judges a games worth based on how long the average playtime. So a small game in his mind is one you can make in two months that has infinite replayability AKA an actual million dollar idea.
>>566699680that actually looks interesting, it has a nice artstyle too>>566699757the one i've put the most thought into (as in countless hours of maladaptive daydreaming) is a space piracy simulator. you would captain a customizable (you can swap components like engines, weapons, warp drives, etc) ship and eventually a small fleet. your crew (and enemy crews) would be simulated in a similar manner to how victoria 2's pop system works, plus procedurally generated characters who serve as your bridge crew. you would directly control your own ship and can give orders to your fleet.sort of like a mix of sid meier's pirates and eve online (but singleplayer, and actually fun)>>566700241binding of isaac is exactly the sort of game i have 0 interest in playing, let alone developing.
>>566700241Baby mode era of game development. The first version of minecraft was made in six days.
>>566662343nighttime vibes
>>566700814Have you played FTL?
>>566700734>AKA an actual million dollar idea.If you don't think your game idea has a shot at breaking a mere milli, then you're NGMI.
>>566700814your idea sounds pretty doable solo. since its in space you don't need to create a map or tiles. just focus on the modular system of the ships and that's it
>>566700927Niceeee
>>566700984>>566700814ZAMN.. daddy just hatched an original game ideathanks
>>566700821It's baby mode era *now*. It's never been easier to do this shit.
>>566700984a little bit actually, but i was never able to fully get into it.one major difference is in my game you wouldn't actually see the inside of your ship or your crew. the interior of the ship would be vaguely simulated for the purpose of determining weapon damage but you wouldn't be ordering crew members to go down to engineering and fix something; your engineers would just do that, if they're still alive (for example getting hit with something that penetrates into the engineering section would disproportionately kill engineers. your ship would probably just explode before you ran out of engineers though).also unlike FTL there would be no set path you have to follow, you'd be free to roam around space looking for ships to pirate and stuff.>>566701108i think it IS doable, its just intimidating. especially because i suck fucking ass at art, so i have to learn everything related to 3d modeling AND c++ (though i at least know the basics of programming. unlike a lot of wannabe game devs i can actually write a for loop)
>>566701440That its easier is why its harder
>>566699703Looks like some looney tunes type shit, I thought that was intentional, is it supposed to be scary?
>>566701342if you steal my idea then you better make sure the game turns out funbecause if it does then i will play it
>1.5 million wishlists>only 240 reviews after 1 dayI mean it's still good, but you'd expect more from literal millions of wishlistswtf is going on bros? are wishlists dead?
>>566701581focus on learning 3d then and avoid making a game engine from scratch. it is not worth it. you can make your own engine once you make it and have time to develop it. just use godot.
>>566701581>he's proud of himself for knowing how to write a for loop>and he wants to make some ship simulatorI thought maybe you'd be at least be a codeslave wagie, but holy fuck lmao. Start with Pong, faggot.
>>566701774u cant really judge a games scariness by a test anim on 4chan
>>566701815i was just gonna make ftl but less autistic
>>566701818Most people don't review games until they're finished playing it, retard.
>>566701831i was planning to use unreal. i have no desire to make an engine and this game wouldn't need a custom one anyway. only ideas i've ever had that would are voxel-based ones which this is not.
>>566701095An idea for a game that will break a mili and an idea for a game that can be made in 2 months and break a mili are two very very different things though.
>>566701858ok sure, but I didn't say the anything about the game overall being scary. I just said that animation looks like it's out of looney tunes and asked if scary is the intended goal.
>>566702076that hairy red guy was fucking scary real shit
>>566701942i still recommend godot. it's pretty solodev friendly
>>566701818why play this game for $25 when there are free games with micro transactions? that's what i gathered from the steam comments
>>566701838i didn't say i was proud of myself lmao. i'm actually incredibly disappointed in myself because, had i continued to learn gamedev/programming as a kid, i would already be making my game.i was just pointing out that i'm not starting off with absolutely no knowledge of programming. i have some understanding of the basics.
>>566701939@gornk is that true?
>>566702076I mean, how would you make a bite animation freaky but noticeable?
>>566701939>Most people don't review games until they're finished playing it, retard.It's a sandbox game retard, and you can still extrapolate how many reviews it will get from the first day
>>566696176Nice, i remember having fun playing the demo for this. spent way to long figuring out the pipe puzzles in the first dungeon
>>566701908oh i seei'm trying to make it MORE autistic, or maybe just a different kind of autistic. i want to look at bar graphs showing how much my space pirate crew approves of me leaving no survivors
Is the new meta just Boomer shooters with female protagonists looking down to see your tits?
>>566702556i wanted my space pirate crew to have dumb quips like in space nobody can hear you say yarrrg!!
i just killed the thread with my joss whedon quotes
>>566702731agpmaxxing your game? I guess I could do it with a poker game...
>>566702378I want you to think about a solution for yourself before looking at what I propose, give yourself some time. Here's a hint: I think the problem is in the lips I think the mouth/lips should not lead the head in the animation, the jaw can open wide downward, but no reason for the lips to bounce forward and back like that. Looks rubbery in a silly way. Other touch ups is that from the front the mouth is open big but not wide. Maybe add some visible teeth as well. Maybe take a look at that meme with the laughing girl with the big mouth
>>566696176>my fav dd game is backI'm happy to know u are not ded.(as I told you years ago, make 4-5 dungeons like your first lava one and ship it)
>>566702731>Is the new meta just Boomer shooters with female protagonists looking down to see your tits?
>>566696176I forgot feedback,That's not a star but a plus sign. Seems pretty confusing
you aren't making slop, are you anon?
>>566639664Thanks for the details sis. I think I need to get better at finding the right games to make but even then it takes time to just make the game.
>>566703956>listening to a grimlock schizo
>>566703956i read that as "can use both firearms and your breast powers"
>>566698838I might hated it at the time, but it's a great advice.You need to update you pov:>these small games dosen't need to be tier commercial level of polishYour 'first game' can be a capsule that moves in a level, avoids obstacles in a linear level and won by touching a flag. That's pretty good for someone that wants to make a platformer>these small games dosen't need to be released for money. Or released to the public at all. So you train to become a painter, and you wanna sell your first draw ever? No ulyou train making random shit, and when you have some skills you start making a job out of it.
>>566702547Yeah that test dungeon is a bit ass.>>566703669Thank you. I will do my best.>>566703739Yeah star, gleam, glint, something like that. It's not too clear. I'll have to fuck with the graphic.
>>566703669seems like only a month ago this nigga was testing poison tiles..
>>566663176Is that you Boku? Style kinda looks like yours.>>566672641You are still updating this game instead of moving onto a new one? Does it get sales each time you drop an update?>>566675960Is this real? I looked at his Steam page and the game doesn't have all that many reviews. Game is not really my cup of tea desu it felt meh.>>566679689I wish I could be friends with Eric but I understand why he won't. Oh what joys we could've had screaming it from the top of our lungs from the top floor with the windows wide open. Oh what fun we could've had playing DBD and screaming "ack" through our mics when facing off against that one character. Oh what fun we could've had mocking redd*tors who like our games and don't realize just how based we are. What could've been....
so basically the nervous system needs to regulate itself. as a child, you need your parents to regulate it. if you have developmental issues you don't develop strategies to regulate your nervous system. that's why you become so dependent on women to regulate your nervous system, because you aren't able to do it yourself or you don't have male friends or parents to help your regulate it.so isn't that a perfect value of a video game? if it can help you regulate your nervous system? especially because it helps you regulating it yourself, with a co-dependency? you could argue that it can become a drug this way, but shredding your e-guitar is basically the same, or taking a walk. although real activities might be more physical and therefore more effective.
Given that the bar is so low for games nowadays. I have a game idea for /agdg/ that's guaranteed to print money.Jingling KeysIt's a game, where you jingle keys.You can unlock more keys, keychains, bobbles, etc. and colors. And the key gameplay is shaking the keychain and it makes noise.It will automatically be a hit.
>>566704079Torpedo Tits DLC
>>566703956Yes, I am.
it workded it workded
>>566704470I would spend so much GamerZZBuxX at the gatchpon machines to get they keychain I want. there would have to be an online component to let me show others that I'm a baller of the metaverse
>>566680223>$1.5m after taxesI'm taking a long break from gamedev after I finish all the content updates/DLC. Idk if I will return thoughever, pretty exhausted of it with little reward. Do I really want to try again and end up failing or move on and go back to being a gamer? I very much would like to help my family out of the wagecage and find myself a wife. So probably not.
>>566704470Im curipus but why would you hand out your ideas like this if you sincerely believe they will succeed? Why not make it yourself?
>>566703360So it’s a matter of lips and teeth texture.I actually tried to get the teeth more visible, but it just looked strangeThe jaw unhinging is fine right?
>>566704695Maybe I should make an AI doujin with the v3 girls and all those ugly bastard luddites the ai comic spammer schizo has but they win instead
>>566683536If we assume that Jonas got to his success following his own advice then yeah they're still valid. You could also assume that his more recent videos have more refined advice that comes backed with experience but it could also be that he made the wrong assumptions about his successes and so he is giving bad advice. I have only watched a couple of his videos so I don't really know if in the grand scale it's good.
I don’t know if I’m doing any better
>>566694886>but the environments are blandbro it's literally unfinished greybox levels

Sometimes I wonder if making the game free is a bad idea.
139 days left. Still working on updates for my existing games. There's been a lot of reported bugs and it feels good just going down the list and fixing them, like I'm achieving something. Of course the games are mostly dead and not many players will appreciate the updates but I'm hoping I can use the games for cross promotion.

I wish I knew exactly what I had to do to program, model, texture, and animate everything the correct way
>>566706458>the correct wayyou're not gonna like the answer
>>566706523There is no correct way?
>>566706458>I wish I knew exactly what I had to do to program, model, texture, and animate everything the correct way
>>566698838There's a number of reasons why it's good to start with small games. First of all your skill develops so rapidly that you outpace the project and the code quality in it. Then there's the side of being able to develop your skills for all parts of gamedev if you actually "finish" a small project. If it's for learning purposes you don't need to polish it to the same level as a Steam release but you should look into making UI, settings menus and stuff like that. Of course there's the whole scope question. Making a game that's not a "small game" and doing it alone is often a multi-year project. Doing that is difficult enough for someone with experience in gamedev but to do it as a noob who has yet to learn the basics that would be almost impossible. Even if you manage to stick with it you will constantly run into the problem of having to rework parts of the game because they look like shit or work like shit compared to your newer stuff in the project. Then there's the whole question of being able to make it good and appealing to people so that it has any hopes of getting sales. That's something you gotta learn and doing small games helps you learn it faster. You pretty much need to fail to learn. You don't have to learn with commercial projects but you wouldn't want to learn with multi-year projects if you can learn doing couple months per project.It took me a while to be able to start thinking of ideas for small games. Probably helped that I actually played some small games. It's a different kind of approach. It's far too easy to go wide with an idea.
>>566706563More than that, it's almost more accurate to say there's a correct program, model, texture and animation based on how you do it.
>>566706701So there is a correct way then

Watching the Road to Vostok devlogs makes me feel like I'm a retarded kid playing around with his toys in the sand. It's unreal how this is his first game and how good his game's progression looks like over 3 years.

>>566715076If you're gonna use this style one of them needs to be a large dick futa and fucking the other one.
>>566714651it's on a level where it could probably fool a bunch of retards but the problem really is that what kind of game can you even make when it's this limitedthe two I can think of are a DQ style JRPG where the fight screen is a popup with the enemy sprites and player characters have portraits but that still needs the overworld sprites probably from assets and the other is an oldschool Wizardry style first person dungeon crawl but nobody buys that shit it's a dead genre I tried making some 64x64 sprites but the results are quite hit or miss and dependant on other loras to deliver fitting characters
>>566715119G胖
>>566715460Yeah and this is how it looked like after only 1 year. https://youtu.be/UdZDrRhEizc?t=426All around it just looks so good and smooth, everything fits perfectly together as a unified whole. And it doesn't even use PBR. My game looks like Frankenstein's monster by comparison, with stitches and odd parts out forcefully sewn together.
>>566715761I don't see that much difference in graphics
>>566715674That resolution is ideal for roguelikes, Vampiresloppa or even Turn-based Strategy

>>566715076If only you knew what the dog in Betz's picture was referring to... Kek...
>>566716002Yeah you kinda need to see all the videos to notice the changes, but it's basically in smoothness of animation, the adjustment of gun recoil, improvements for gun adds and UI. https://youtu.be/UdZDrRhEizc?t=705There's a HUGE amount of attention to detail basically.
Question:I've been thinking on how to implement a relationship system. Since it perthans how one NPC feel about another, logically you'd implement it as a list on NPCID's and values. But that's messy as fuck. Then I though, how about a 2 dimensonal array of NPC ID's on both axis? This would basically hold how EVERY npc feel about EVERY npc. This does become a problem as the nuumberof NPC's increae. And what if you want ot model a relationship in a more compelx manner (not 1 value, but lets you you have values like love, like, hate). I guess you could make an array of custom structure, but don't know how well that would work, or even if you can have it be dynamic, rather than declare a fixed size up front. any ideas?
>>566715761>>566716002>>566716265It's funny the unity demo from back then looks better than the godot EA release version. Him ditching unity was such a mistake.>>566716208He's been using some freelancers and his plans were to make more use of them now that the game's making money so he has more money to spend on them.
>>566716113>roguelikeI don't have any special ideas for this and I don't see the point in making yet another generic roguelike>tbssame as above>vampiresloppaI think we are past the point where you could pull off static sprites in that genre because the expectations have gone up with so many of them coming out
>>566716407So you want to have all the data in one?Use a dictionary of dictionaries, or a struct of structs. You can also use json or yaml then parse it.
>>566716896Make asset packs then for people who want to make them honestly. Almost all of them are 7% plagiarized SNES sprites as it is. Make "300 RPG sprites pack"
>>566716407> I guess you could make an array of custom structureI used a Relation class. so if npc A knows 5/5000 people, theyd just have a list or map containing 5 Relation objects.struct Relation{ int human_id; //target int opinion{0};};

Got multi tile characters to work with the input classes. Also started on implementing combat. Hopefully i can have at least one test fight for the next DD.. Also want to redesign a lot of stuff and retouch the colours to be less saturated in every spot, but that can wait. No idea how i feel about all the ai art and comics, but i can appreciate people using new tools even if i dont want to.>>566715674i think this turned out the best of the three. if you dont need rotations and are willing to clean them up i think it could work and fool most people.

>>566710087You will gain more abilities and your previous abilities will become more abundant. Eventually things will reach a point where you just set some of the old spells to autocast and work out how to use the more powerful but limited new spells.So it is idle at your own pace but you can use the abilities in an active way if you think you can use them better.

my game still isnt fun, but its starting to become alive!!! 1!! !!!
>>566717371Yeah, that's how I initally though to do it. When you have to do checks that means you have to go trough every single NPC's relations struct and search. Highly inefficient.Which is why I though of holding it all in one place, rather than in individual NPCs own data.Or image you have to remove a character- you'd also want ot remove all relationship data ideally too, no?

>>566721247Not really that I know of
>>566721247you could try to get it to make some sort of paper cut out paper doll stuff where it spreads the body parts and then you gotta cut them out in gimp and position them properly yourself>Ludditeswhy am I even replying it's not like you're gonna do anything you're just shitposting

>>566722067I don't think of it
>>566721596>that's a prototypeI love when people defeats themselves.
I think I will use some tool like makehuman to create realistic accurate depth controlnet references to give to an AI model to generate the final reference to model my wifis and then paintover the end result.
>>566720881>When you have to do checks that means you have to go trough every single NPC's relations struct and search.for my case, i was down to just iterate through every element in my list to find the relationship. it's o(n) so it doesnt seem too costly. I dont know for your game, but for mine, i never need to search through every single relation to find something. At most, it is just a list iteration in a chosen npc.but, if you did need to access anything quickly, maybe use a map and id system. maybe each relation has an id, and an NPC has a list of relation ids that point to the global relations map. But i dont know enough fundamentals to see the cons to that other than it breaking cache locality idk
>Start working on a new game>Think about all the work it will take>Stop tryingNow I get why most devs never make a new game.
>>566719929Thank you :>
>>566721596what? a prototype is an minimal viable product, no? so itd be the opposite of what you said.a prototype would be making the games levels and stuff. playable state as soon as possible
>>566723306It does take a special kind of masochist to keep making games alone.The smart move is to learn networking to either acquire funds or convince people to work for you but I'm just terminally bad at that.

>>566723306im worried i will be the 80% of people that quit after their first game.I made a game, and i didnt make another one for 6 years. im back and i hope i stick around
Why do so few indie developers make 3d games? Why do so few indie developers make RPGs? And why do so few indie developers make 3D RPGs? Is it really so impossibly hard that everyone just sticks to 2D or boomer shooters?
>>566723834Yep.
>>566723834Only if you ignore the RPGMaker scene.

>>566723940>>566723886Goddamnit that is a shame. I really want to make a game but the only game I want to make is a 3D RPG. I guess the closest indie game I can think of (not in theme but just game basics) is something like .45 parabellum bloodhound but with multiple controllable party members

>>566724317if youre not in it for money then it might be worth it in a spiritual sense. if youre new to gamedev, you should start with incredibly short narrative games and work your way up. then you can network and work with people to create your game.>.45 parabellum bloodhoundholy fuck this looks kino. i get why it inspires you. you can copy this style if youre good at 3d, that is manageable. the type of game is what costs so much time usually. if u keep it small you can sell a similar vibe. merchant64 artmaxxed and made 20k.

>>566725385Marmoreal is not even out of early access yet
>>566727471Hi Marmo!
>>566724317obviously 2D games are faster to make and most indie devs like to make small games because the game industry right now is basically gambling and people want money, which means releasing many small games and hoping for the best.RPGs usually have many characters, which is the most time consuming thing you can do in 3D. It can be done though, and some devs make a generator and just click a randomize button to make NPCs, e.g. mount and blade, morrowind.
>>566726038nta but that's quite interesting yet I'm not quite sure how one would use it in a game2d skeletal animation never looks that good in my opinion but I suppose you could use it to animate npc portraits or maybe if you had vn style scenes in your game animate those

>>566723834tldr it is too much workit's much easier to cheap out on art with 2d while 3d games require a lot of assets to look right unless you're making some game that could as well be 2drpgs that aren't minimizing some aspect(s) of it take a lot of work so making a 3d rpg is like multiplying the workload so you gotta cut corners somehow to reach a project scope that's manageabledevil spire dev had his first game be just really simple dungeon crawl and for the second game he went wide in scope so he made the art style something he could manage and as a result the game looks poop and entirely relies on people buying into the concept and systems of it which luckily worked for himmonomyth dev didn't want to cut corners so he spent a decade working on the game and it's still not done>>566723940you can make rpgs that are about the emergent gameplay I'd argue devil spire falls is one of those
