Yeah, I don't care about the actual game itself. Looks whatever. I don't even like metroidvanias.

It's about the messy interpersonal drama that crossed too many lines not to mention.

It's not like I'm gonna tank their kickstarter or whatever collab they're trying to cook, as beautiful as that would be, I'm just recovering and sick of this shit. I just wanted to make my own fucking videogame about robot yaoi + dualism, that I was writing/concepting before I ever met them. It's entirely fucking different, so the fact they roped me into this shit is insane.

I'm a game development student that was concepting a project about robot yaoi + dualism. Arc-Type Androids, Fort Bastiani, two robots, teal dude named Six and a pink dude named ... Pink. I got overexcited and blabbed about it to anybody who'd listen, including 4chan here. Years ago at this point, which is important.

This was because I told myself I had two years to make something or i'd off myself, which is a whole story in itself but I digress.

It just so happened some local developers were working on an under wraps game called Shade Saga and got extremely interested in my concepts, even offered me a mentorship with BeserkBoy Games! Hooray!

During which, a pitch doc and keywords got swapped around!

All of a sudden...
Shade Protocol pops onto the scene with dualistic themes, swapping between Dawn and Shade, enemies called ARC robots, cities called Bastions, and a main theme so close it raised hairs.

The name of the game is legal deniability here, remember!

I didn't even give a shit about and put it up to chance. I used to use AI. But then they tried tying me to it on their podcast when I asked to talk about this!

Of course, that's fucking insane, right?
>It's not like on their podcast transcripts they talk about driving people crazy, joke about stealing ideas while showing off blue and pink robots, or having two years to make the game, right?
>It's not like a lawyer started asking if I had copyrights, trademarks, or making vagues about IP law here on /vg/, and this was publically denied on their discord?
>It's not like I vagued them so hard here they started spamming bloody Roblox eyes and larping as military intelligence a couple months back?

AFAIK, the entire team posts here. They can suck it.
If they actually did... It would suck if it was based on conspiracy theories like ritual sexual abuse and monarch programming, and now their game is about killing little childish robot dudes called Snacklets! Talk about satanic pedo shit. Yeeeesh.

stop normalizing the r-word
>>
why is it when the question of valve's 30% cut (closer to 40% in reality) is brought up, steamjeets always bring up microsoft's, sonys and nintendos 30% cuts? even ignoring the fact that mobile markets have lower cuts and that the steam cut is regressive, this comparison is still misleading.
microsoft, nintendo and sony all own manufacturing plants for their hardware, their hardware is necessary to access the storefront, and they also design bespoke hardware for their platforms. this basically means that your game's sales are subsidizing the platform you're developing for, keeping them afloat.

valve's steam decks and steam machines, on the other hand, are all entirely outsourced, both the hardware itself and the manufacturer. valve simply acts as the rights holder for them in this case. more importantly, valve's own hardware is NOT necessary to access the steam store. so comparing consoles and steam in such a way is misguided at best and disingenuous and misleading at worst.

Targeting a real life person or real life organization can be perceived as a threat against the real person/organization and is therefore illegal. Fictional is usually okay but if it’s too blatant parody or stand-in for a real person/organization it can still be perceived as a threat and have legal consequences.

I think games advertising themselves using black magic shilling is fine. Hell, /vg/ games could benefit from being more upfront about it. Make twitter shill rings. It clearly works.

Got an architecture question.
I'm working on a turn based RPG in Godot and I've been storing all relevant info about a given character (Max HP, current HP, strength, abilities, related artwork, etc) in a Resource called "Stats". I have two classes that extend that, called "CharacterStats" and "NPCStats" for player characters and NPCs, respectively.
So here's the question, will it bite me in the ass to keep using 1 stats object for everything about a given character, and just duplicating that object for multiple instances of that character? I'm torn on if my approach works or if I should make some wrappers that track that character's current state and just store a reference to the base stats object.

I have no desire to charge for spots in the show. Hear me now. I will not charge for a /v/3 spot ever. If we start getting more submissions I'll simply cap the amount of trailers and then start doing a winter showcase again or something.

I'm not doing this showcase for money lol.

>>567745014
Why would you have multiple instances of the same character in the first place? But if that's a concern, then have a store that maps the character ID to its stats.

There could be multiple instances of an enemy in battle, for instance.
>>
>>567746069
Well in that case shouldn't each enemy have its own stats because they may be altered by buffs, debuffs, items and other randomization factors?
>>
>>567745014
Its not a good solution but if you can handle it its fine
the only thing you'd have to worry about is how you handle access, wouldnt want two separate instances of the reference doing different things
>>
>>567746172
What would be a better way to handle it?
>>
>>567745014
For the Stats Resource of the same character, you should be passing around a reference to the same instance of that Resource rather than duplicating it. Whenever you load a Resource type, Godot is already managing that reference for you. Any stateful property should be tagged @export and any derived stat should be not exported, but instead have the derivation equation in the getter/setter.

Getting people to care about narrative is hard enough in pure story mediums like books or movies, and only gets harder in mediums like games where story is secondary. You need to be a genius writer if you want to make a story game.

it's unironically true though. putting soul, "attention to details" (how brown turdies call that stuff), secrets, small personal things - all of that is unecessary.
60% of steam is literally barely sapient third worlders and americans, so it's better, for your own sake, to stop treating games as an artistic work and start treating them as adult toys. it will make devving easier and less emotionally damaging for you

tl;dr just make slop

It depends on what your personal goals are. If you want to make art, make art. If you want highest Steam sales for lowest effort, go ahead and make slop. If you want to make money, go get a high paying job, because when factoring in time cost of development even some of the biggest Steam slop successes still make less money than just grinding a high pay job.

That's not soul, since it's a deliberately calculated and intentional addition. It has a cleear motive, ulterior or not. But yes, it is a good thing to put in into your game if you want all the sloplents to really go crazy over your game.

This is just a mindset of pure helplessness. You feel like your answers aren't valid unless you happen to stumble upon them by pure luck or magic, and that looking up and utilizing the correct answers somehow invalidates them, and that's simply not the case.

this is actually the least illegal thing you can possibly do in the United States since it's protected by both the first Amendment AND government officials being absolutely and definitively public figures and government functions being entirely public domain.

doing it about/in a country without speech protections or about a class of people that have defamatory protections or private institutions that have copyright/trademark protections are each more susceptible to legal issues.

It's already set up dynamic with a slight interpolation between movement states. Sprint being the highest in the mid 70s, the default movement state has an FOV of 66.

Have anyone made a roguelike with decisions after every chapter that feels like a chess game?

>WTF does that mean
Imagine having a number of blocks, like 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 chapters, (basically a chapter is a combination of 3 dialogs of the pool of possible dialogs).

And then each chapter basically being procedurally made from picking random blocks.
But after each chapter, there's a VN menue.

These VN represents actions you can do to the game, which can effect the characters data.

The next chapter is picked from the input conditions that each block needs to be triggered.

Anime Android Girl Parkours and Parries & Destroys Big Robots in a Brutalist Megastructure Bullet Heaven With Shoegaze and Ambient Breakcore soundtrack inspired by Blame!, Angel's Egg, and The King In Yellow
>>
>>567794671
No it doesn't.
>>
>>567794705
This scene depicts an anime-style android girl expertly navigating a brutalist megastructure filled with massive robots, showcasing her agility through parkour and her combat skills as she parries and destroys her mechanical foes in a chaotic bullet heaven. The environment's stark, imposing architecture contrasts with her sleek, agile movements, while the soundtrack, inspired by shoegaze and ambient breakcore, adds a layered, intense atmosphere reminiscent of the worlds in Blame!, Angel's Egg, and The King In Yellow, heightening the sense of otherworldly tension and relentless action.

Any solution for these weird artifacts at the edges between disconnected meshes in Godot? Force Disable Compression under the mesh import options helped massively but I still get this shit.
>>
>>567809646
Definitely an improvement, but the quality is still nowhere near what an actual (competent) 3d artist can do. From a far they give the illusion that it's better than it actually is, in the closeups of the models running you can see all the problems. It is almost there tho, which is scary ngl.

They don't look good fullscreen on a monitor. Hell they don't even look good on a Switch or Steamdeck.
I think Gameboy Advance style games might take off for modern handhelds because the original screen was larger than Gameboy color but you need depth and content that justifies a 20$ pricetag

you're always going to get floating point errors if they're just 2 disconnected edges butting up against each other

normally you allow for some overlapping geometry in order to avoid issues like that, or if you're going for some really low poly shit you just weld everything together as a solid mesh

they wouldn't be adding pointless tags that do not benefit literally anyone. if they wanted to combat payment processors' blanket censorship tactics, then they would've simply removed whatever tags they considered offending.

also wtf is this shit? how the fuck are you supposed to know what the fuck these two tags mean without a clarification? new steam users who will join a year later will have no idea what these tags mean

It's gonna be harder to release game on steam soon.
Due to AI gaining popularity and how easy it is to just "vibe code" a game, and also all the slops going on the store, steam is currently figuring out a new method to put game on the store, but it's gonna be better than greenlight.

What does that have to do with combating or not combating censorship? You're still not making any sense.
Obviously all their planned tag changes would get grouped into a single release. They could both combat censorship by removing tags that pps target but also add new tags that they don't like Capybera and Wuxia.

How can I tell if I submitted my form, is there supposed to be some sort of confirmation?
Because it looked like google forms just reloaded the page.

I've added some basic enemy movement and animations in blender. In Unity, the navmesh does most of the heavy lifting, but the enemy character can now move to a set position, faces the target and fires.
Next I want to add some enemies to the first level and see how well they handle shooting the player. I've created a dodge animation for the player so I need to implement that too. Most of the first level still needs to be created too

I just checked both submission forms and I did not get your game so resubmit it If you still having trouble let me know and I will let you email it to me and I'll consider that good. The form is there to help me keep track of submissions that way we don't have a repeat of previous years.

This was one shot on Qwen3.5-9b a 17gb model.
Obviously you're not going to get the kind of quality you would from the frontier models but I picked this model because its totally possible to run on normal consumer hardware.
GLM 5.1 is actually genuinely great but... lol that's out of reach for the overwhelming majority of people unfortunately.
Hopefully ram prices go down in the next couple years. I pray for the downfall of big AI every day so the consumer can be free to run AI at home free from their tyranny.

Its about on par with Sonnet 4.5 which is impressive as fuck for an open source model.

I'm so fucking glad I tried to set up AI locally when it was brand new to make porn, the technical hassle it has required taught me a lot and by now I can understand how to set up and run pretty advanced AI locally that can help me with coding my game and shit. Meanwhile people here are crying about usage limits or are luddites coping that AI is a meme. Your next line is going to be: "post your game"

i have one more major feature to work on for my game before i can begin polishing up the art and spending the last few months preparing a final build and my motivation has reached an all time low

>>567842018
I never paid a cent for AI but I never hit usage limits and I use it for writing code all the time. I'm just not retarded so I know how to compartmentalize tasks. These "AI chads" here let AI work on their entire codebase or in agent mode and for that you need a bit beefier hardware. What are you running your local AI on?
Also post your game

Look, I wasn't a big fan of AI when it first came out, but even I, a long-time doubter, can't deny how virtually all industries are shifting towards AI-assisted workflows.
You have to be an absolute luddite to not use AI for your game.
At least use it to review your code, if nothing else. Trust me, gemini's code reviewing skills are superior to your hobbydev coding skills.

Just saw the deleted cris progress post in the last thread. Why is he making minor attracted nsfw anime games? It's fucking weird.

Yeah, just like there's thousands of linux.
The exact same reason why I'm not using it.
I will just go back to using chatGPT at their site.

Cris has always been an actual pedophile. That's why you shouldn't engage with him.
>>
>>567846061
He's from a time when snowflakes didn't get their panties in a twist whenever a fictional character got sexualized.
His kind is diminishing with how current zoomer Internet culture has decided to revive pedophile hysterics.

2man team, knew him since my childhood.
we used to have 3rd guy who i met on a gamemaker forum specifically to help with the game, but he went on to do his own project
also we had another coder who i met in an MMMORPG in my teens but he is too busy with his job so we basically let him go
