I created a dodge animation last night and implemented it this morning, it will be how the player dodges incoming fire.The transistioning between animations is jerky so that will need to be looked at .

Sometimes I think that open-world games are ultimately just fetch quests.
I need you guys opinions on my hentai gameplay idea.It's a board game, you play mostly like a roguelike.There's a harem of enemy tokens.You hit them, until they're K.O.They can be stacked when K.O. which means a combo and a group animation when you rape themAlso, when they're K.O. they can be raped by the MC shota, and then you could capture them in your shota balls, to summon them as ally to fight.
>>567847861that's even creepier.If you were around for when lolirapesimdev posted progress on every thread you know how it is.That guy had something SERIOUSLY wrong with him.
>>567849106Nah, he was one of the chillest.

>>567849106what happened to that guy anyway
I asked this yesterday but looking for a second opinion because I'm very indecisive. When it comes to publishing your game and the social media side of it, as a solo indie dev would you publish it under your online name or make a one-man studio (like how ZUN is the sole person behind Touhou but he operates under Team Shanghai Alice)? I go by a fake name online (eg John) and my usernames are the same, but I was wondering if I should create a circle/studio/label like TSA to release under. It would seem more professional but I wonder if that would make it more convoluted, like I can imagine someone thinking 'oh this game is by (my label)' then looking in to it and seeing that said label is run solely by John but John isn't even the creator's real identity. My game is very personal and made just for fun so I do want it to link back to my true identity in some way. Also when it comes to making an account to post about the release of said game or additional artwork and things, would I make the username and branding of that account as my label's primarily or treat it like a personal account?I'm overthinking it and it depends on the person but not sure what to do.
>>567850272make a studio so you can make another one if you decide to publish something for a completely different audience in the future
Is the dev of the game cris around? I need some gamedev advice from him.
>>567851126what do you need.
I designed this character for my game that I'm going to put on Steam. Would my game get banned if I showed him naked in a scene? No genitals just his bare ass.
>>567846640Add animation transitions so that they dont just switch animations in a jagged way.Also remove or reduce the back details its heavily unappealing. The design in general looks like a trans person from the 80s or somthing. If thats not intentional, I would change the design and proportions.>>567849106My rule is if you post progress you are okay. Nowadays they dont even do that.
>>567849072Trvth nvke. Never ask about gameplay ideas. Make a prototype in a week and get playtesting. If you cant make a prototype in a week the game is outside of your scope and you should look for a new game idea.
Time to project hop I guess
>>567852039Why are u gey?
How about a game that is essentially "One Piece but IN SPAAAAAAAACE". aka endless retarded nonsense but in space. shit never makes any sense. and thats the fun of it

How long until AI can generate 3D models and pixel art in high quality? I feel like art is such a bottleneck in creating the game because you basically have to spend time on it without actually working on the real game and if AI could solve that that would be great.
These donuts got stale and misshapen because they sat in a bag since this morning. Did I eat them? You bet I did, I'm no quitter.Today I'll be working on UI. It's gonna suck but I'm no quitter. 129 days left. No one's played or seen my game yet, and not because I want to make a dramatic reveal. I have no faith in it, but also no better options. And I'm no quitter.

>>567850272If you file for sole proprietorship, you can always just have it "John, Video Game Studio" instead and publish it under that name on steam.

>>567859610Hope he doesn't make fun of it
>>567859671what the FUCK i just learned Oney CREATED the Fulpstation server.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haZ6mWxjlZo
>>567859610Idk who that is
>>567858717Idk. Making the art is making the game. Code and other stuff is just how you get the game to run. So if you don't do it, you didn't make a game.
>>567860227Making art is deciding how your game will look like, not making it. It's just like picking a paint for your house. It has nothing to do with how the house is built, it's just how it will be presented on the surface.
>>567859559RPG maker doesnt run on the system I need but I will study hello kitty art

I intend to make 3d Fluffy Game with Hugbox and Abuse route, which engines suited for Pet simulator and gore?
>>567861818Sure, that's actually part of making your game feel like a game, but at the same time, it's not strictly necessary, many popular/good games are low quality pixel sprites that work just fine.
>>567861738Just scroll agdg threads until you see Peter molyneux.
>>567861958Can I ask AI to larp as /agdg/ Molyneux and give me ideas?

i still remember last year in early winter that i tried to invite my old friends from junior high to hangout and one guy straights up uses my face as a sticker mocking me with a caption "let's watch movies!!! im unemployed lol" then after i get mad at him i get kicked out from the group
>>567862072you're better off doing that than asking for ideas here
>>567862404How much of a loser do you have to be for that to happen to you? Brvtal.
>>567862072Honestly? Yes, you absolutely could ask it to. And honestly? That's a fantastic use of AI.
>>567859425It's just flour, eggs, oil and sugar. Which part is the poison? I sure hope it's not sugar because life without sugar is hell. I tried it.>>567859556I post my desserts and coffee, not breakfasts. But I agree no one should feed me.>>567860431>>567860572What makes a game is its interactivity, the user input. So if you want to be super reductive, the main thing you should concentrate on is user input, character controller, the menu where you remap controls, things like that. If you want to tell a story, write a book. If you want to show something pretty or interesting, paint a painting or make a video. If you want to make a game, make a good mouse pointer that changes depending on what it's hovering over.
>>567862404Pick your friends better
>>567862652Cooking oil is straight up garbage and poison. Sugar is fine if you're physically active and primary consume it before a workout/physical activity, otherwise it fucks with your insulin sensitivity for no reason.
>>567861958>>567861828I'm serious. The design and idea are the most important things.
>>567862879if you dont even have ideas why are you making a game?
>>567862652It's fried in slop oil, also you cant trust commercial bread. Just really bad overall.
I was able to get a working demo of taikyoku shogi with my own algo solution for the AI.works great.:D
>>567861828gib idea
>>567862879Here's an idea, an ELO ranked online multiplayer arena game where you can use a sword slash on your left click to instagib enemies, and a dash on short cooldown to dodge enemy attacks or to close the gap and kill them.Game modes:Duel: 1v1Standard: 1v1v1Battle: 1v1..x20
>>567863091A gacha that focuses on the furry audience (seriously, why hasnt this been done before? furries are notorious overspenders)
>>567862652You experience the game with your eyes. The motion of the character is satisfying because of the visual feedback. Bad motion, bad art.
>>567861958crash bandicoot but busty bunny mc
>>567863420You can have a game without characters or animation. You can't have a game without interactivity.
Give Me Idea Give Idea Me Give Make Idea Me Make Idea Give Me Make Idea Give Me You
>>567861905Uhh, anyone mind to answer this??
>>567862947An urge, yearning. Just having ideas is not enough, it must be an idea that is realistically possible to implement (technical skills, time), keeping motivated, worthy to implement.
>>567864150True. Though visual references via text is how writers connect to audiences, description is art-like. But I also think I missed out on the fact that there are blind Vidya enjoyers playing fighting games or whatever...
>>567864216Suika shapes but it's naked round fat people with soft body physics
>>567864373The answer is whatever. You can do that in any engine
>>567865176Just to be clear I think visuals are very important. The >>567864150 picrel game did as well as it did probably partly because it looks the way it does. I only disagreed with what >>567860227 said.

Is this the single worst fumble in all of indie gamedev?>development started during the indie golden age when LITERALLY ANYTHING made money>went viral with classic e-celebs like pewdiepie and markiplier at the peak of their popularity>had a publisher approach him offering not just funding and marketing but even literal developers who'd finish and fix the game for him>had the undertale troon audience locked down (before all the controversies)>literally fumbled it all because he was a fucking massive retardWhy does fortune favour the gigaretards? Fucking nobody boughted my game and I would KILL to have at least ONE of those things happen to my game, and alex rolled insane luck on literally every single fucking thing every indie dev hopes for, and fucked it all.How the fuck is this even possible?

>>567868181House plans are copyrighted as artistic works in Canada and generally in the United States.I don't think they're protected from you referencing those plans to create a 3d game environment. As long as you don't include the architectural plans themselves which are protected, it would be extremely difficult if not impossible for them to pursue any litigation against you.As long as your neighbours house isn't a famous/historic property that has very distinct architectural features, you could copy his house exactly save for a single micro detail that prevents it from being an exact 1:1 copy of his house plan. You also need to be wary when copying his home decor, using 1:1 replicas of family photos could get you flak provided they are exact copies. If I were you, I would apply a painterly filter over them and stretch your neighbours forehead a few inches larger to protect against legal action. Im not a lawyer though, not legal advice.
>>567864150Sure, you can have a game without characters and animation, you just can't have a successful game without characters and animations. Warsim has characters and animations, so it's not a suitable example. All text-based games that anybody cares about have supporting visuals and visual information.
>>567857773>it is who I watch
>>567874038Its generally following their house layout and blueprint, then the interior decorations are based off of photos they have put onto Facebook.
>>567872745King of wasted potential is probably Withersworn, because he just implements random features and doesn't seem like he cares about ever releasing an actual game. Which is a very popular thing now, "Content Game Devs"
>>567872745No the worst fumble is Cubeworld.Yandere dev could have done well but its too weird for a major publisher to ever push further at best it would have had a movie by now.Cubeworld would have been the next minecraft, perhaps even roblox but the creator is a schizo engine dev, who fizzles at the slightest bit of derision or feedback.Looking at these indie faliures has made me appreicate notch more.>>567873012cold, line.
why are gamercunts like this?
>>567871607if this were alpha of porn game, you could be getting couple grands per month on patreon
>>567875856let me guess, replying to this gets you called zukjeet?
>>567875401If you model it after the blueprint and make any slight change I can't see how how can litigate against you provided you don't include the architectural plans themselves anywhere in your project. The plans themselves are copyrighted but as far as I understand you cannot copyright a suburban American home with, for example, an open concept kitchen and 6'x8' mudroom. When you say "based off" this implies you are creating assets using them as a reference which again I don't think anyone can get after you for so long as you don't reproduce things with such accuracy that it is undeniably a photo of your neighbor.To model your neighbor it does become tricky, because scanning or modeling from references a real person's likeness without consent is risky. I understand that this probably complicates things for your creative vision, because if you need to make protective modifications to your neighbors home, decor & person then it may not have the right game feel. This is a classic gamedev dilemma, you'll need to tweak and adjust things as you go to strike a good balance. I don't know how much legal protection you get from this but shows like South Park and Family Guy would include a disclaimer where "No real people are represented here it's just a coincidence if it seems like they are" and they would draw pictures of people and speak in mock versions of their voices and discuss real events of their lives. Really depends on the scope of your project.

https://youtu.be/LpXhy2iiaQEThis video is so antisemitic... chuddite bros I don't feel so good. What if the employim use AI to make GMI games to escape their slavery?SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!Also I realized that I would probably make more money making AI tools for game devs than making games. Though the problem is any dumbass retard can make a game, but not just anyone can make good software that's actually useful.>>567883508This is actually genius because this small visual upgrade is ALL you need to remake the same RPGslop and push it like crack.
I hate indie game developers. I hate indie games. I hate people who play indie games. So often it happens that I play a trash game and think how the developer should be ashamed they dared to release such garbage, followed by checking the reviews to see people liking it. Have people just accepted the terrible quality that amateur devs put out these days? I want to play the good shit, and digging through the bad shit is difficult because everyone praises it anyway.For the sake of the standards of quality of indie games, please make a good game.PS: Send me your Steam demo (you do have a Steam demo, right?) and I will play it and probably critique the hell out of it but it will be good feedback for you to improve your game.
>>567883508I hate this art style.
>>567883508that always looks so bad with regular 2d sprites that end up looking like billboard textures floating in the world.idk why people are so obsessed with it.

I added dodge rolling and floor telegraphs. My idea was that you'd have an "Intuition" level that as you level it up the range increases for how far you can see enemy telegraphs and hurt boxes. Think of it like a spidey-sense you can level up like a MMO skill, but idk if the range is too short to start with. Also for your own player's hurtbox I have it so it just renders the segments that are relevant (ie near an attack or enemy hurtbox or map boundary) rather than rendering all the time for visual clarity but idk if that just made it worse.

It is a name tag that checks if it belongs to a quest via a data table and adds it to the active quest array and quest hud widget. >The quest widget has a simple input using the gamepad left and right trigger to cycle between widgets, main, secondary, and complete.The order it goes >player collides with item, item shows pick up icon>player picks up item, item added to pick up pool and is checked to see if it is a quest item and if there is an id tied to it for the quest in question.>this information is cached in the game instance and rolls over if the game is saved afterwards. >This includes dropped items too. >the world item is destroyed and the picked up item is added to the inventory array and checked to see what item type it is and puts it in the correct pool. Once picked up, a separate function runs active quests to validate progression and if a match is found it increments progress by +1, sets the new quest entry in the widget and adds the previous widget to completed.>exp core functions has been made and will be added to the game soon, i.e. you decide to kill an npc instead of helping it, you get different xp rewards for that. Much more to come

To no one in particular:If you don't have finished games, stop giving advice on game dev, stop sharing your opinions on others' advice on gamedevAs a nofinishedgamescel, you should confine yourself to two things in this general: asking questions and posting your progressThank you for your attention to this matter

My game is harry potter inspired but with animu characters, am I going to be accused of lolicon for not using capes to cover the main character (it would be a pain to rig) ? I opted for something more like Cardcaptor sakura
>>567889654>I opted for something more like Cardcaptor sakurabased based based
some progress on a playable map, rolling plain with some hills and forested areas. implemented interactive foliage, I had much higher tree density before this but that actually just nuked my editor. I wanted wooded areas to slow down mechs/vehicles moving though, while not forcing the player to actively dodge trees, so they just apply a speed penalty based on tonnage vs tree size, and push the mech to the side, Better for AI as well since I wouldn't have to do any sort of local avoidance.They don't provide actual cover vs laser or projectiles, but they provide LOS cover for the sake of sensor checks, and are destructible by attacks passing though or sufficiently heavy mechs.Performance cost isn't awful right now with all 3d trees, it's like 2ms per frame for like 10k trees from profiling, hopefully I can bring that down to under 1ms after billboarding and maybe simplifying the colliders.
>>567889095You bought yourself another day, lmao
>>567889654Considering what Wayforward and others have gotten away with I wouldn't worry bout it especially if you make it clear their high school aged. For some reason there's a hebe pass for cartoon characters.

You now what crazy? This game reminds me of a game cris was making like years ago. He could have made it.
>>567891357if Cris followed through on half his crazy ideas he would already have a fanbase by now, many of which would be buddy trolls
>>567891357He would have been hella rich

it's called LOD.

>>567891724yeah but it won't be as good as his
I'll do it. I'll make a game. You'll see.

https://xhal.itch.io/charactergeneratorUpdated my character generator again. some minor additions to categories but more importantly I FINALLY figured out how to get past itch.io and googles stupid fucking protections so you can actually copy the character information to clipboard instead of having to download a text file every time you want to to something with the data. It's ridiculous to me that google think random file downloads being triggered are okay but not the user pressing ctrl+c on a text field
>>567898128By gabencunt?
>>567896474Thanks. Will try to draw something myself.>>567897891It's not a filter, the game renders at 320x240. Don't blame you for thinking the bottom two look barebones. This is my first foray into 3D and I found the environment decoration kind of tedious.>>567898327That's my favorite as well, maybe I should just pivot the thing to being outdoors.>>567898330It's a contained, puzzle-focused dungeon crawler.
Motorslice but it's a Y2K arena movement shooter where standing still is not an option.
>>567896758I just liked the speed of armored core 4. peak armored core is when you are going at impossible speeds whilst a female voice over talks about philosophy and gives you a cute name like "raven"

no one has made a game based on Crank, which is pretty surprising
motorslice but incremental
Oh, that's why everyone is talking parkour games. Hadn't seen it yet.
>>567899589explain, i was thinking about making one
>>567898308Post your game faggot
I actually wanted to make a game like gta 4 + deus ex in gameplay and vibes, but nobody boughted...
>>567900443You'll see it at v3, when it knocks your fucking socks off. Shitposting aside I'm very proud, everyone I've shown it to has praised it so far and my social circle is not easy to impress so I'm taking that as a good sign.
>>567900613I shi. Guess I'll have to tune in.
Indie fatigue is increasing among gamers. How do we cope?
>>567898929>the game renders at 320x240And you should have an option to render at native.
>>567900824Make better games.
>>567900883crab
>>567900883hmm
>>567898330>waah you're not allowed to dislike things I likeRetard. My issue with technology elements in fantasy is that they're very rarely done well. When done poorly they ruin immersion. It's different if it's full on space fantasy but if you're trying to mix medieval fantasy with technology it rarely goes well. It needs to be baked into the world and make sense in terms of lore and aesthetics.
I've made the mistake of wanting to make a game with physics interactions that involve attaching one object to another object. Do not do this, ever
I just purchased unity assets from the wrong account. I used the wrong account with sign up for google and purchased the assets with that. I own both accounts. What can I do?
what happened to this game?
>>567901834This is a divine shitpost, you almost had me going there. An engine where you need to be logged in to use assets.Good one.
>>567900824in all honestly, yeah make better gamesand stop fucking copying each other
>>567901592Nigga, you dumb.
>>567900824do you want me to cope with your opinion based off your feelings and not any real world metric? ok
>>567901592you aren't aware that that's a genre in of itself
As Chrissy Z would say, my game has "the magic". How do I know? I just do.
>>567901339Objectively better in 320x240. If someone complains about the render resolution, offer them higher resolution as a DLC.
>>567889654She cute, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your game.
godot? more like gaydot lmao
I will never forgive Motorslice dev for abandoning us
>>567902957it doesn't really matter because its trivial to intercept the render commands and render it however you want. you aren't blocking anyone
Seeing way less loli posting did they get banned?Same with the steam/ai comic posts.Im happy
>>567903390no im just woking on my next lol game
>>567902957Agreed, it's pretty obvious.>>567903323If someone ever cares enough about one of my games to intercept the render commands, I'll be a lucky man
>>567903390who are you though?
>>567903390i am busy relapsing
>>567902417>>567902589Keep doubling down retard.>>567903627There is zero reason not to have the option. Same as with texture filtering. It takes practically no effort on the developer's part but allows a wider audience to enjoy the game.
>>567904182Video games are art. You don't need a reason not to have any options.
>>567903390people stopped responding to me so i stopped doing ai gens and got work done on my game instead lol
>>567903627most will just leave a negative review saying the game is missing options>>567904335kek

I fucking knew it. He was in it for money.
>>567896105I know you've already got good feedback on the hand and resolution, so here's something to consider regarding both of these:The hand sticks out sorely because of the bright lighting making it look high res. You should limit the colors on screen to a fixed palette to make everything look consistent and it also allows you to establish your own aesthetic (kino). Limited colors are regarded by future fags as a limitation that we are better off without but older games are all improved by them. If you're going for a retro low res type of aesthetic a limited palette is required to avoid looking like nu-retro slop.
>>567905360hes one of the good jews
>>567905360>Cliax Codec>storepage has been up for over 2 years>demo has been up for 16 months>37 followers>roughly 444 wishlistsBro, it's time to move on. This is going to flop even harder than Marmoreal.
>>567905460Great point. I usually use a palette and wanted to see if I could evoke a different kind of look without one, but since you're calling this out specifically seems that look isn't good.
>>567906009So true anon. Hey post your game to epicly own them with your more successful game!
>>567907142fake positivity does not help
>>567907142Why would I want to epically own him? I wish him the best, but no amount of wishing is going to make gamers want to play his game.
>>567907142>Cliax Codecnta but ill play it to see what its like
>>567905360>>567907445If Betz hates it, that means it's gonna be good
don't sexualize your games just because you saw someone post 'appeal' in this thread. make the game you want to play, that's the way to sovl.
>>567908167I decided to sexualize my gf on social media to help sell my game.
>>567908167the game I want to play has sex appeal
>>567907489First thing I hate is that there no way to see what stats are called or know what items do by hovering over them.I like the quality of the menus and how fast it took to open.
Why do people say not to use rigidbodies for player characters in Unity?
>>567908504HOLY FUCKING KEK you guys are still making crap like this
>>567908568>crap like thisexplain
>>567908634its just so... anime
>>567852039i look like this
>>567908527Make them kinematic. Non-kinematic rigidbodys are as physically accurate as possible, and physical accuracy is not fun for the player to control.
>>567904617>most will just leave a negative review saying the game is missing optionsExactly. There's always gonna be at least a couple people in the reviews complaining about missing basic options. Why would you expose your game to that when it's easy to avoid?
Stop samefagging retard
>>567908634>>567908776IMO, "anime" itself isn't bad, but it's just fairly amateur in both design and rendering by 2026 standards. It's quite obviously designed by some westoid without enough asian genes, whereas every random chinese studio is shitting out new anime characters with way more appeal every other day. Assuming that's a full screen screenshot, the graphics design is also very amateur (layout, alignment, font size, etc). Those are two things that will immediately jump out someone scrolling through the Steam page which tend to kill your chances of them actually bothering to try the demo.
>>567905584>good>jewtwo things that cannot coexist
>>567909296You're right, we should all use names so we can tell everyone apart in this thread.
>>567909164uhh why is this being mentgioned here?
>>567909549I had two threads open, posted to the wrong one. Ignore it.
>>567909296Its true though, gamers are spoiled nowadays with the current state of Steam and spoiled means quick to complain and leave bad reviews
>>567846506>>Progress Posting Guide>https://pastebin.com/auLa49E3Next time leave this out from the OP.
>>567908504The animations in the third person view are so really bad. Jumping looks bad, theres no landing pose it lacks and juice at all. The walking animations are bad, the game jitters when you rotate too harshly.From the top view its not noticeable but from that view its just not good enough...
>>567909679FROM NOW ON, NOW PROGRESS ALLOWEDWE ARE ON A GAME STOP
>>567909694I dont like the velocity slowdown when you are aiming at things far away from the character and moving. Its a lizard brain thing to me, just makes the game feel less snappy.
>>567910174LLMs are really good at directly generating SVGs because they're already text.
>>567909940Cant hover on the status effects to know what exactly is going on.Cant seem to interact with any of the in game interface.The music gets repetitive and boring very fast, its generic in a special way like if a coporate executive needed to pick music for a "cyber" "ninja" themed game this is what he'd pick, its sovlless.I actually like the gameplay a lot but the character art is amateur tier and lacks any good/cohesive character design.Is it the future? Is fantasy? A mix? Idk
>>567910174>>567910321Ok do it and show me.I'll be waiting right here.AI makes everything so easy to do right? So just go do it and instead of making a post starting with "what if" it starts with "I wonned"
>>567891357People have been saying this for years: if cris ever strapped the fuck in and quit goofing around, he could've had at least a minor success that would've been enough to feed his third world family for a year.
Yeah, but doing it in 2 more weeks is just way more appealing than right now.
>>567910426Idk add some reverb to the sound effects so it sounds like its happening in a metallic area.Thats all ill play for now.
>>567910724I sympathize with cris because we're both extremely handsome, above average, aryan men who are struggling against the very GODS.I understand what it's like to have a simple thought like "hey I should just liek maek gaem" and then suddenly I am wrestling against Satan and the armies of darkness.Sometimes I'll just stare at functions with branch points for hours, I'll open desmos and just look at them and stare at them.I don't know how to explain it but there's some kind of hidden secret there but I don't know how to crack it open.
>>567911530>we're both extremely handsome, above average, aryan men
>it's trueholy fuck, chuddies lostedcris wonned
>>567911641>>567911761Cris is honorary
>>567911761Can someone edit this so it says I HEART AGDG instead of lolis and it's on his arm instead. It should have been like that to begin with. Also why didn't you use a symmetry tool when making this? it's very lop-sided and asymmetrical.Is that actually how cris looks btw?>>567852039what the fuck am I looking at. I scroll up the thread and see this shit?The skills of this place is so bad. None of you even deserve to be slaves in my empire.
>>567912138>Is that actually how cris looks btw?Cris is a simulation. We can make him look however we want.

>>567914079Are you retarded? Microsoft just admitted to having burned all Antrophic budget for 2026, closed new sub sign ups, removed access to older models, and is introducing per-token pricing. Meanwhile Antrophic collabed with based Elongated Musketeer and loosened the usage multipliers on their main service and you can basically run multiple agents all the time and not come anywhere close to the limits.

>>567915096It's the end of poor AI spammers who could only afford the $10/mo Copilot license, if you can afford the $100/mo Claude Code license that basically lets you code 24/7 without worrying about usage limits, it's still fine.
give gamers what they want
>>567914297The price jump was this month. Opus was at 5x usage, now its at 15x. Still a better option than subscribing to Claude directly, as you get access to OpenAI, Grok, and other models as well.

Kind of a WIP, but I'm refactoring the combat based on what an anon on /v/ said. Whoever the fuck that guy was, he knows his shit, making this stuff state-and-trigger based instead of timer and meter based is way better
>>567938680that knock back was sick af
>>567905360Damn it's closed already? That sucks, I guess I was away too long.
>>567939050Eh, it could be better IMO. Feels like the little roll and whatnot need to be better timed and paced out because right now everything except the initial "Start tumbling" is governed by Exit Time
>>567938680roast chicken ahh monster
>>567940837I agree with that anon. The tumble in response to getting kicked is a great feeling addition, but at the same time it's just increasing your scope yet again since you'll have to be making that kind of stuff for every enemy type, and so now you'll be even further from the finish line.
>>567940837sure, the last moments of the roll look a bit funny. but that initial impact and rolls feels good
>>567941402Anon it literally took me 30 minutes to make all 3 animations.Also only some enemies can be tumbled. Big bois don't get tumbled.

How do I come up with a good moveset for a 3D platformer? Everybody always recommends you to copy what Mario 64 does but then why would anybody play my game if it's the exact same thing
>>567941973That looks like some severe overkill for an amateur like me lol>>567942103That's a great topology reference for joints. Saved.Though I have no idea what Crease and Bump mean. Is it about edge crease? >>567941997For hands, just holding a 2-handed sword and swinging it around. I figured since the player is going to see the hands most of the time that they should at least not warp during animations.
>>567943172mario 64 is pretty much the perfect 3d platformer movement-wise. so yeah at least make it feel like that. then make your game unique by giving a different challenge to the user
>>567943172That sounds like redditdev cope. There hasn't been a single popular indie Mario64-like.
>>567943414Oh, that's clean.
>>567944364no, I just realized I'm arguing with the gamedev equivalent of MGTOWyou got sent your own way by Steam and now you're raging at people who use Steam successfully
I know indie 2d pixel platformers sell like hot garbage, but what about indie 3d side scrolling platformers
>>567945106didn't stop celeste. just make one that isn't shit
>>567884192I agree with the spirit of your post but think its a bit harsh.a lot of indie games look really great, but when I play the game i get the feeling that either>the developer takes no pride in the quality of their product at all>the developer has no interest in the intricacies of game design, and just enjoys aping the things they played as childreni think the majority of people that DO take pride in the quality of their product and DO care about the intricacies of game design mostly never finish or sell anything. they get too bogged down feeling like they are not good enoughas for reviews, obviously those come from people buying the game. of course they are likely to view it favorablythere's an old AGDG adage: it takes 10,000 hours of to learn how to actually make video games. I think there's some truth to that. outside of a few upstarts, the majority of breakout hits come from a dev who has made multiple games alreadyanyway google pogo3d, it's a game i made in 900 hours after 10,000 hours of gamedev where i only produced garbage. you can play the full demo in browser on itchio but there is of course a steam version too
>>567944606Nah. MGTOW aren't going to dating forums every day to cry about how it's women's fault that they can't ever have sex.

>>567946725>2018 lolseriously why do retards on /agdg/, and /v/ even, keep bringing up games from this era or earlier as some sort of gotcha? there was less games, less competition, lower standards. standing out was easier. most games that "made it" in 2012-2018 (or earlier) would NOT make it in this modern market, because the new standards and the modern attention economy today wouldn't allow them to succeed.
>>567947598Looking at Braid which blew up the industry in the 2000s and then flopped hard when it rereleased recently, yeah, probably not wrong.
Spent like 3 hours arguing with someone on reddit instead of fixing bugs. I'm no better than the bait poasters.
>>567947767It's sad isn't it?
More ui work
>>567947869If we're talking about how competitive the market has gotten days, yeah, it's gotten harder and more expensive to market games every passing year. Even a few years ago it was at least somewhat possible to get content creators to look at your game, now it's hard as fuck to get their attention unless you pay out the ass. It's very fucking frustrating. If we're talking about Braid, it's entertaining and pretty with a nice soundtrack but nothing special really, that whole era of Xbox digital indie games were full of overhyped indie games like Braid and Fez. Kinda amusing people considered these rather simple and pretentious 2D platformers the peak of the art form. I've played better platformers from aggy ngl.
>>567948104Like, it's sad how no matter how good my game was, I'd probably not be cared about
>>567948104>Even a few years ago it was at least somewhat possible to get content creators to look at your game, now it's hard as fuck to get their attention unless you pay out the ass. It's very fucking frustrating.content creators no longer drive the attention market, you need to understand this. right now, in 2026, the internet is driven by social media algorithms, and in particular, the algorithms on 4 sites>instagram>tiktok>xitter>youtubethings go viral on these platforms and then spread there (if they are good enough). same shit applies to youtubists and streamists. they see a game going viral on xitter or some shit, and do a video/stream on it to ride the hype wave.there are definitely still streamists/youtubists who can CREATE these hype waves (northernlion, vinesauce, jerma985 and maybe a few others i don't know of), but they are extremely coveted and LITERALLY EVERYONE in the industry is competing for a "slot" on their stream, including the AAAs. i'm pretty sure i heard that vinesauce said that they take up to 5k USD to get featured on their streams, so you can consider that number as a ballpark estimate on how much it costs to get into the top streamist/youtubist rank.this is why every indie dev today is playing the xitter algorithm game, it's singificantly cheaper money-wise.oh and if you don't believe me, go and ask nuns and guns dev on how his game succeeded.
>>567946265Found Eric's office

It fucking happened. I stumbled upon some AI slop thread on some god forsaken imageboard and someone there prompted my game. My fucking game done by AI prompt. Fucking hell. My legs went numb and my heart sank. What the fuck is this retarded shit? I've spent like 1000 hours working on my game, on my own, no AI, no help from outside, it's all my own C99 code and then some fucking retard prompts it and gets a less polished janky as fuck and ugly copy of my game. There's no point in life.
>>567951826@Grok clone anon's game and replace all the charcater with lolis.

I feel sad again. I can't dev in these conditions, bros.
>>567952052It's hard to make facial features at that resolution, you'd know if you tried to do pixel art. I think it has personality.
So I hired this guy Gabe Newell to host my game, push updates and patches, handle payment processing, refunds and user feedback. It's a pretty good deal, he asked for a 30% cut on sales and I did the numbers and decided it's better than doing all this shit myself.
in your job, when you try to prioritize tasks, does it clear to you that these stuff have different deadlines or urgency, or you usually have to guess it on your own?
>>567951994yeah but if you make it in music you're having threesomes with supermodels literally whenever you wantif you make it in gamedev,... well
>>567951826To add to this: It just really grinds my gears that these AI prompting normiefucks don't have a clue what it takes to create a complex game on your own. No clue. They just prompt and they get a decent result and they probably don't even appreciate it. Like fucking hell what the fuck is this hell timeline?

while playing minecraft i noticed how i completely lost interest in playing when i tried making map art manually, cause i just didnt enjoy the process. it almost made me quit the game, yet now i just abandoned map art stuff and went back to the stuff i enjoy doing. and suddenly i want to play again.i wonder if this could be an approach to gamedev. basically just avoiding anything in the process you dont enjoy doing. basically valuing the process more than the outcome. cause desu having the map art didnt even feel worth it. maybe it works if you really really care about the outcome.also in the economy you can usually pay someone to do the stuff you hate doing. just like i can pay someone on the server to do map art.meanwhile they wont enjoy quartz mining in the nether like i do, so if they need quartz i'm the guy to sell it.
What follows is a time-wasting useless blog post. You can decide not to read it, you have free will.I didn't do my full 5-hour quota yesterday so now I owe 1100 minutes of work.Yesterday I implemented pulsing/glowing to buttons so as to give the hint to the player about what they're supposed to do. Yellow paint on UI. I was on the fence about it given that my previous games let players figure things out for themselves. So I did the least practical most time-wasting thing: I thought about it for a long time, implemented the feature and then decided not to use it. I could do an A/B test to see which version gets players to stick better but in the past I was just like "yeah they'll figure it out or they're dumb shits who cares" and it didn't matter. Even when I A/B tested things, the results were most often inconclusive. I need to regain some of that confidence.128 days left. I don't think this will be enough for a minimally viable game but it is what it is.
>>567953169Maybe you shouldn't be leaving your code out in the open then
game idea: "Data Centers 2077". Data Centers are the new metaphorical "Medieval Castles" that villages exist around. In extreme poverty. The Earth is a desert, data centers provide the only drips of water. Everyone works for the Data Center, which no longer has ANY human management and is 100% ran by AI 1000x more intelligent than today. People worship the Data Centers and the AI "Gods" inside. The AI has decided humans around the Data Center can exist, the reason I haven't come up with yet, some sort of expendable slaves, maybe high electromagnetic zones that machine can't enter due to sensitive electronics, and expendable humans are sent in. Humans are the lowest caste. Literally any position of power even 1 step above them is an AI. Humans have no rights, if you cause trouble an AI drone or robot "dog" kills you.AI has determined humans living outside the Data Center "Medieval Village" can now exist. Rural area is off limits. It's a desert anyway, but what little water remains out there is for the Data Center not humans. So another job humans are tasked with is to go out and KILL wild humans and also genocide animals that are drinking the water.So we got a mix of concepts popularized in Warhammer 40K, Mad Max, and who knows what else.
>>567954759>outside the Data Center "Medieval Village" can NOT* exist
>>567954759that's basically my game. the reason AI let humans live is just because it doesn't see a difference between us and the ants. both a minor nuisance, but not so bad you exterminate the species. .

>>567946105Gamemaker is a shitty engine that was never meant to make commercial games. It simplifies easy stuff and makes more advanced things impossible. You start hitting walls really fast with GM.

>>567926373Thanks, fren!!!
>>567850272When you say Minecraft creator, most people think Notch, not Mojang. When you say Braid or The Witness, most people think Jon Blow. 90% of people don't even know those games are published under different publisher names. (Thekla and Number None)So it doesn't matter. If your game is published under DICKSANDCOCKS LLC but online you act like John - the solo developer, people will just say it's John's game. If you act like a group online and say " we" , " our artists" , " our team", then yeah they'll say "Team DICKSANDCOCKS". For a solo developer, the company name is just another online handle.

Anyone know how to setup a rig in blender in the style of mario64/jack&dexter with "detached" limbs so that you can scale and stretch stuff but still control parenting? My first try I just kept all the bones separate, but this meant if I moved a leg, the feet didn't move so I had to pose everything by hand. I'm not a rigger I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, please point me to where I can learn rigging like this and not the shitty realistic way
>>567971889dont make the bow a texture, make it a 3d model and and jiggle bones to it. It will make the foids go crazy trust me.
>>567971889you can keep the parenting but detach the bones. If I'm not wrong you detach them and parent afterwards with the (keep offset) option.They'll move when the parent moves but still be separate.

nobody boughted my game, guys...
if I wanted to create a normal map for pre-rendered assets in a 2D game, is there a way to automate that process? everything I've seen so far for 2D normal maps involves painting it all by hand, which wouldn't work here I assumed I could just render the same scene with the normal matcap but I doubt that'd work
>>567975480My fucking poor editor... Because all the submissions come in the literal week of them closing (and now this sale page has everyone all hyped) I had told him to do 5 games per segment for the quickshots for (4) segments but now he's done two and now I keep getting quickshots so I either gotta make a fifth segment or just pack the fuck outta the remaining two.
It’d be nice if I got popular
>all those deleted postsNo shortage of the mentally ill here.>>567968562Only women can call me that.>>567953054>>567953169The best thing is to self host on a personal site with something like cgit. I used to do that. Maybe I should do it again,
>>567975741Yes, automate it. If the assets are pre-rendered from 3D, you should render a normal pass from the same camera, same frame range, same transparency, same sprite crop. Don’t use a normal matcap as the final method. A matcap is basically a view-dependent lookup texture, not a clean normal encoding, so it can look close but it will bite you once you actually light it.What you want is a material or render pass that outputs normals encoded as RGB. Take the surface normal, transform it into whatever space your 2D lighting shader expects, then remap from -1..1 to 0..1 with:rgb = normal * 0.5 + 0.5For most 2D games, view/screen-space normals are easiest. X points right, Y points up/down depending on your engine convention, Z points toward the camera. That means your light shader can treat the sprite like a little relief object facing the screen. If the sprite can rotate in-game, you either rotate the normal map with it or use object/tangent-ish space and handle that in the shader.In Blender, the practical setup is: duplicate your render setup, replace all materials with an emission shader driven by the normal, transform world normal into camera/view space if needed, remap it to color, render to EXR or PNG with color management disabled/standard/raw. Also render alpha from the same pass so your normal map lines up perfectly with the sprite.The bottom half of your image is basically the kind of thing you want, but make sure it’s not color managed and not coming from a lighting/matcap approximation. Normal maps are data, not color. Save/import them as non-color, no sRGB conversion, no compression artifacts if possible.So yeah, it’s very automatable. Render beauty, depth, mask, normal, maybe roughness/height all from the same scene. Painting by hand is only for 2D art that never existed as geometry.

>>567956128https://gamemaker.io/en/blog/gm20-interviews>So I decided to create something with which kids could create games. My own children were my first target audience, although they never used it much. B.t.w. it was called Game Maker from the first moment it was released.>It was just a hobby project. No commercial ideas whatsoever. I was really surprised when it did actually started to become so popular. I guess the name helped a lot. People were searching for something to make games with and ended up with GameMaker. And of course, it helped that it initially was completely free.>It was meant to encourage creativity and give kids some feeling about what computer science could do. It was meant to spark interest. Not to teach something. I started using GM at some stage in my Game Design courses. But not to teach coding but to give my students an easy way to experiment with their creativity in game design.It's a literal toy for grade school kids. That's why it sucks so much. Yoyo Games made it 10 times more expensive, nuked sandbox with all those thousands of projects, drove away community but they never actually fixed it. It's just about x2 as fast as it was 10 years ago, which is still about hundred times slower than C++ and just as limited as it was and even more limited in some ways. You can't possibly imagine how fucking hilarious it is when some retard such as yourself makes a commercial game in fucking GameMaker and puts it up for sale, You basically advertise to everyone your retardation.

>>567961609You gotta think about how the bones influence the verts. On the right side on that gif the left (inner) side of the joint has the top vert 100% on the top bone and the bottom vert 100% on the bottom bone that's why they're following the movement exactly and collapsing into the geometry. The middle example is laid out similarly on the inner but because there's the triangle topology with the extra verts on the outside they can be painted 50/50 to allow for a more natural bend.

Unitysissies, this collision avoidance feels bad, so I wonder if I'm doing something wrong>cat is a kinematic rigidbody moved with moveposition in fixedupdate>box gets switched to kinematic and begins to follow a bone of the cat once it is picked up>in update, box updates its "last free position" if it wasn't stuck>in ontriggerstay, box moves the rigidbody it's attached to towards its last free positionHow should I actually do this
>>567981983That is worse than Quake engine physics from 1996. What the shit, haha.
>>567980316tbqh famalam, you won't make it in this economy UNLESS you have what it takes to dissociate into AT LEAST 4 separate personalities. If you can't tap into the madness to get angry at that fucking artfaggot art, that takes SO LONG to create a bunch of shitty drawings, if you can't get FUCKING LIVID with screaming rage when that fucking INCEL of a programmer, Stu won't finish his goddamn feature, then HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO RELEASE A GAME?Do you think one man armies are real?MYTH.They're all Schizo-systems with DID. That's their dirty SECRET.AND THEY KEEP IT TO THEMSELVES, AND I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING OTHERWISE.Graves is probably going to throw me into our system's jail for MONTHS now, but I NEEDED TO TELL YOUI'M PROMETHEUS, AND I REGRET NOTHING!!!!!
>>567981983I'd recommend updating drawn model's position only after collisions are resolved. Make your physics bounding box invisible and let it jiggle as it needs to.
>>567981983>moved with moveposition in fixedupdateoh no. you can't use velocity for movement?

Mining game; you can mine, with animations, and I also added ores and other things not visible in the video.
I wish I was better at modeling, animating, and texturing
>>567980750>Nice reading comprehension, retard. It was STARTED as an educational tool only. Modern GMS is very different from legacy GMS.It hasn't changed. 10 years ago YoYo Games moved it from Pascal to C++ and replaced interpreter with bytecode. That's where the x2 speed increase comes from. Essentially it's the same thing. Core architecture hasn't changed. You would know this would you do as little as decompile a single game.>LMFAO so is gdscript, you have no idea about anything.GDscript runs 10 times faster than GML and for optimization you have access to C# and C++ in Godot. You would know this, would you be capable to use something other than a kid's toy and conduct a simple performance benchmark.
>>567984220Reminds me of my mom, I call her we are talking about my work (gamedev startup), some pause while I'm looking at code, then she starts talking about how men with penises dressed as women are going into bathrooms and that's not okay, I'm like mom can we not talk about that? And she is like they didn't even have surgery! Like bro I don't want to talk about trans penises for fucks sake.

>>567883508fugg I wanted to make an HD-2D game but with this the art style will quickly lost its novelty when everyone can effortlessly recreate it. Though, apparently it's unity based again, which most people hate.
>>567987213i still remember actually looking forward to the release, genuinely expecting this to be a 1k review game
Have you guys ever participated in a (non-AGDG) related game jam?
>>567991103Yes.
>>567991103Yes I did the v3jam
>>567991436How was your experience with it?
>>567991103I don't remember.
>>567991726Fine. I usually only do the bigger jams like GMTK, Brackeys, and Ludum Dare. If you're newer to gamedev, don't expect to be able to submit a reasonable game on your first few attempts, since those have 2-3 day deadlines. Just keep practicing and trying.
>>567991103The only no-/agdg/ game jam I participate in is me jamming my unfinished games in the trash
>>567956012Hero Siege is made in GM and it's better than 99% of what /agdg/ can produce.
how did the first gta make it so it was flat top down game but the buildings kind of tilted/rotated depending on which side you were on
>>567992756um. it's 3d. the cars etc are 2d sprites but the buildings are 3d cubes with textures on them.
>>567978184Kino but that rifle isn't the right tool for bird hunting
>>567993291>sourcing the right tool in a post apocalypse wasteland

>>567986676voxel space engine was quite mindblowing back in the day and honestly I'm a bit surprised it hasn't come back in indie form
>>567994140its like indie devs have the minds of 5yos
I just discovered I can draw more angle references and that way have a much much better model.:)so happy now with the new workflow.
>>567994532Your elf turned into a goblina
>>567994532great workflow
>>567986447>>567986676Definitely looks good.
>>567994532>so happy now with the new workflow.never read that before
>>567986447>>567986676This stuff plus Dwarf Fortress style world simulation would have been peak indieInstead we got the Unreal 5 sloppa and card battler timeline
>>567993023hmm interesting so basically like separate render pass for 2d map/entities first and then basically another with 3d camera and 3d objects?
>>567995374buddy, its a playstation gameits all 3d
>>567995374Realistically using modern engines, you would just put the 2D sprites into the 3D world using billboard quads.
>>567995374No it was just a 3D game with billboard people and cars

>A couple of things worth flagging before you build it>1. this thing.. oh it's not problem>2. this other thing, again, no worries>3. this could cause issues, but we fixed it so not a problem>4. this might be an issue, again, not actually an issue because you said X and X doesn't conflict here
>>567992186>don't expect to be able to submit a reasonable game on your first few attempts, since those have 2-3 day deadlines>tfw I can't even focus to do something in two (2) months>tfw the last time I submitted something to agdg was last year
>>567995902reminder that a large company made this before they made GTA III and San Andreas, so maybe humble yourself next time you think "starting small" is beneath you
GTA 1 and 2 are not small games. They had a lot of stuff in them. Just because they weren't fully 3D with mocap, doesn't mean it was easy to make them.
>>567996017Skill issue, lil sis. Just like make more games to get better and faster at making games.
>>567996425but you'd admit that the charactors and objects in it are small right?
yeah, that's the point dumbass. it all seems small and simple until you start making it
>>567995902had a lot of fun playing thisGTA1 was also good but I liked the visual improvement of GTA2
>>567996425They are small for today's standards. I think you could make a basic GTA1 clone with Claude Code in like a week or two.
>>567996238But anon...my dream game
>>567996784Then do it, faggot.
>>567997085I'm not interested in that kind of games.
>>567995301I was reminded of these pixelshit sloppa videos that went viral last year. Some sort of voxel engine could work for the landmass if you do camera facing quad voxels or something. I'm not good enough of an artist to pull it off though.
>>567997643Ask AI.
>>567991043>genuinely expecting this to be a 1k review gamehow? it always looked like shit
>>567997894anime blindness
>>567846859"Why are there so many troons in the FROMslop fanbase?" they ask themselves, and then post shit like this.
>>567997643this loop seems great because everyone fills in the blanks of what the gameplay of such a game would bebut if an actual /agdg/ degen tried making the game there would be shitty mechanics that nobody would ever find fun and other crap that would actually ruin the thing as a whole completelythe average /agdg/ couldn't explain what makes the gif so magical if their life depended on it, and that alone paints you the picture for how good the people here are actually at understanding what makes a good game good.
>>567846640heck what the other anon said about the frilly dress back detail, it's pretty and just needs tweaking to look more like cloth
>>567997643they are actually making this game
>>567998701but enough about yourself
God I fucking hate Love2D (this is a blank game)
>>567998871mad cuz tru
>>567998995its all in your head my guy, you've never even met the people you are projecting onto
>>567999085this is all too complex for you, I assure you
>>567997643The ground could be voxels or regular meshes it doesn't matter that much. All the stuff like trees and houses and the castle could be billboards.The problem is what happens when you get near a house? What about when you're at the foot of the hill the castle is on?

>>567998859They made this game 30 years ago
>>567983148>seed oil princeKEK!
>>567998859I'll believe it when I see it.>>567998701>the average /agdg/ couldn't explain what makes the gif so magicalHonestly I struggle with it. Something something sense of adventure. The castle serves as a clear direction, goal of the adventure but the world opening to view before it gives off this promise of the unknown possibilities that await. The art style plays into nostalgia and old school fantasy art. It feels like something you might have imagined a game to be when you saw its box art back in the day. A childhood fantasy given form. >>567999410>The problem is what happens when you get near a house? What about when you're at the foot of the hill the castle is on?Some things would have to be 3d meshes or voxels to work and it would have to utilize LoDs to make stuff look right at a distance. Even with trees and such I worry that billboards might look off up close unless you had multiple angles of them at which point you'd be looking at pre-rendered assets which would be hard to get looking right to give this feel. On a technical artistry level it's quite the challenge to get looking like that.
>>567999719Those guys don't do anything interesting. Mobile games and and back end stuff for Just Dance and some other b-tier stuff.Being an indie dev is cooler.
>>567999719Damn, Montreal looks different now
sorry for being a schizo...
>>567998701>the average /agdg/ couldn't explain what makes the gif so magical if their life depended on itActually, that gif isn't really magical at all. It looks nauseating. If you want an experience like that, The Elder Scrolls Oblivion already exists.

>>568004282Yeah originally it looked even more like the AI video
It’s not fair is it?I could make a masterpiece but nobody would care simply because I have no popularity
>>568005746If a game is too good it will always do great. It's just mid/good games that need luck or fame.

Mate and I accidentally made a strategy game, multiplayer is fun but I gotta make the single-player shit and both him and I have never enjoyed a single strategy games campaign modes. Are there actually any good experiences in this niche to steal from?
>>568004498This is an interesting style but it's too obviously 3d up close. It pulls off the distant visuals quite well though.
>>568008296Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 are the big ones to rip off.
>>568008845>just rip off games that were AAA at their time bro Well I guess it's good to aim high.

>>568010281>farming games, metroidvaniasWell Stardew Valley took 5 years to make, and Hollow Knight had $50k from a Kickstarter and took around 3 years.If you have that time and budget, then I suppose you could pull it off.

>>568009263Well you're insane to be making that type of game to begin with. If you don't aim for WC3 or SC2 levels then your campaign won't be considered good because those are the likes of games it will be compared to.
