I worked at Nintendo of America, in Redmond, Wa. The Christmas party was always a suit-and-tie affair at a swanky downtown hotel. Two employees would dress up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and you could get a photo taken with them.My co-worker, Chuck, is a six foot two psychopath with a limp mohawk. He has tattoos up and down each arm and rides a motorcycle. He's also the son of a local car dealer magnate, so he's got a bit of the spoiled rich kid attitude that he can get away with anything.Chuck and I worked in the Nintendo call center, where we told people how to beat video games all day long. It was the only job I've ever done better stoned than sober. It's also one of the few jobs where they give you a game system at your desk and ask you to play while you work.Back to the Christmas party; Chuck is hammered, despite the alcohol being doled out at the rate of two drink tickets per person. When he gets to the photo opportunity with Mr & Mrs Claus, he stands facing Mrs. Claus (back to the camera), swaying slightly, then drops to his knees, sticks his head under her skirt and yells, "Take the picture!"He was escorted off company property by a security guard the next day.

>>567999719You telling me all these people are worthy of gamedev jobs yet I am somehow stuck as a solo dev with a best case scenario of either teaming up with other anons or alternatively have enough funding to hire 1 person to dev alongside me for 1 year only? How? Why? I can't even get a tech support job despite how simple and straightforward that knowledge is. I don't have a CS degree.

>>568027179you made heroes of newerth?
>>568028530wtf I love AI now??
do you think it would be bad taste to reach out to a dev whose game you've cloned and ask them if I can put "the unofficial sequel to <game name>" in my Steam page?
>>568029105no
>>568029105If you have to ask, yeah. Only gigachads like plok2dev can pull it off.
>>568029345Why did you have to remind me of plokdev? Can't believe he dropped that shit.
>>568029105nah just stick with "inspired by"
>>568029442sauce?
>>568028850I'm using Vulkan and C. Also each voxel isn't a mesh, this is done via fragment shader raymarching into bounding boxes. The boxes are chunks which the fragment shader raymarches voxels into.

Recently found myself looking back at some old eyerape tileset stuff from projects I never even started. Think it was going to be a Zelda 2 clone. Apparently I uploaded it to my google drive at some point.Aah... god I should get back to work on something.
>>568038584did i inspire you to do thankless things?
created a cubemap render in blender with some generated noise textures + a really cool cloud turbulence texture i found then used that as a sort of filter for my hsv quantization post process, then panned the cubemap by delta engine time, i thought the effect looked neat as hellits not meant to be clouds, just breaking up the colour banding silouhette instead of being perfectly circular but it does look like slowly wisping clouds

grim, i've ran out of time and even worse the job prospects look grimmer. i can continue devving but it's gonna get a lot slower the moment i either re-enter the workforce or go back to college. if i go back to college CS is my only option despite its now grimmer outlook, still a much better outlook than my terrible degreethe rest of the possible great salaries right out of college with easy to get employment are>engineeringtoo complex 4 me>lawyertoo much time and no interest in it>doctorway too much time and no interest in iti either accept my terrible job prospects or go back and get a cs degree for like 2 years and maybe 30k-50k out of pocket. on the plus side the increased knowledge can on rare/some occasions help with gamedev itself provided i keep working on games in my free time and don't get a job that disallows me from making games. damn i don't want to be a wagie into my 60's. i'd rather gamedev, win, and just make games at my own pace. seems like it's all coming down to me either>making a game that sells well enough>investing in the right company/companies that 10x my networth>marrying a doctor that dotes on me and doesn't mind me being a house husband gamedevcouldn't find a bocchi x doctor style pic but coincidentally found some instagram of a lady who's a doctor and last name is bocchi lol
>>568039472are you just pretending this looks bad? i think it looks good. why am i terrible at art? man this looks really nice maybe the water could use a better and maybe a less bright color sand but even then, as is this still works really well.
>>568041895it looks bad and you should feel bad
managed to heavily optimize tree rendering by implementing a custom batcher that culls and renderers static trees in 500 meter grids, doesn't work with billboard right now but honestly at this level of performance (~20k 3d trees with < 1 ms hit) I'm not even going to bother with imposters and billboard workflow.
>>568039472>16x16 tiles>looks this goodpls tell me you were working on this at a time where you already had 10 years pixel art experience
>>568042443I used AI
>>568042570which AI produces top tier pixel art????
>>568042347Build is running. If this fails cleanly, I’ll either fix the compile issue or recommend reverting only the risky changeset instead of continuing to stack patches.
>>568041895No, but at 2X it does kind of eyerape because of the sand and trees. The palmtrees have this weird hallucinogenic CRT-like effect.

>>568044556Now
>>568041671Either learn to be an electrician or plumber, or put the fries in the bag. There is no easy money in this world, lil sis.
>>568041671become a tradie.college is a meme.or learn to cook and put your own small restaurant in your block.a good idea is to sell daily cleaning products like toilet paper, soap, because they last longer than food and have high returns.Also, buy a printer and offer shit to old people like support to use websites, or pay digital shit or also put a store to pay for the local utilities company and local ATM.I have a neight that put a basic ATM, cleaning products and a printer and photocopy machine, and there's always people paying for shit on his bussiness.
Vibe coding is making me realize I may not be as good an idea guy as I thought I was..
>>568047485having never worked in a professional environment, a few days of of trying out Claude code made me fully understand what people has always meant by "code monkey"practically nothing it did was useful
>>568047896I thought it was pretty good for a little while because I was asking it to make single functions or classes. I tried giving it a serious task with shaders and it never successfully accomplished anything. It would make really rookie level mistakes too like changing random variables, hardcoding things, making a change without highlighting it, omitting important information.
>>568047896kek. I'm on the fence about it for now. I'm testing claude out and it seemed to be working well enough (no idea how bad underlying code is), but now its hitting weird walls where it would 100% be faster for me to just code it myself. If nothing else I do find the techs ability to seemingly 'understand" what you are saying and give you something almost right to be fascinating
>>568049087probably schizo of me but it almost seems like they throttle it's intelligence at certain points. I swear it'll have a moment of clarity and then turn into a junior developer.
>>568047485one good idea that you can write on a line isn't worth much, it takes a lot of work to develop it into something
had to rewrite so much but ZAMN! vulkan + opengl fallback is working good. I really wish I didn't have to cross-compile to winblows. going to consider doing reflective shadow mapping if I don't deem it a waste of time performance wise.

>>568044928>Plumber/electricianGenuine retard advice. Construction and maintenance trades (plumbing, electrician) are not growing, they just happen to have low supply 2 years ago, but because everyone has told younger zoomers and alphoids to go to trades it will be the same as learning to code 5 years ago. If you want better career advice go into nursing, nurses are the only job sector that is growing because of ageing population and will never be automated by teslabots no matter how good teslabots get because boomers dont want to have their senile assholes wiped by clankers.
>>568051430but I'm latinx as well...
>>568051531He's the only agdg latinx, you're latino.
>>568044928Nuuuuuuu not like this! I am considering retail or warehouse waging and banking on succeeding with gamedev and or investments. Though it might be time for me to team up with an artist, this solo thing is just not efficient for me.>>568046047>Also, buy a printer and offer shit to old people like support to use websites, or pay digital shit or also put a store to pay for the local utilities company and local ATMThis might unironically work and I know so because of irl experience. Even $10 would gain me a lot in an area with 10,000 seniors. Wait that's like selling 10k copies of my game, every month. Albeit with overhead of having a physical location. Hmmmmm might look into this later. Thanks fren!
>>568051754If you haven't even *tried* to team up with an artist yet, then you're still at least several years of gamedev experience way from just the starting line to a commercial game.

>>568031494There'll be a character creator with this game to customize facial and head features, what I'm showing won't be the default character don't worry
I banned myself all day. its been a good & productive. i originally started this side project because I got pissed at my default terminal emulator which didn't have the features I wanted in the way I wanted. and I thought "how hard can it be?" then I been brainstorming how this can also fit a game. anyway, lately I've had another pet peeve getting to me so I've gone back to this and added this feature. so in KiTTY the sub-shells are kind of like alternate buffers in vim, I basically find both kind of confusing and not easy to use. So I've made my own sub shell feature using the same default key binds but as a floating window. Also I decided that I want input to the root terminal to be blocked while any sub shell is still open because that force me to not be too ADHD but I still want to be able to select from it to copy paste, and I want the subshells to be able to be moved around and I want to be able to drag out a outlined call-out to remind me what part of the root shell this subshell is for, so if I tab away and do other stuff in other terminal or different app then come back to this, it will be very visual and I can see immediately where I was and never ask the question "which one is the active one?" which I had this problem last night that led to doing this today. The other thing I always wanted to do like if I run "ls -al" then all of the output is one code block that has a [+] for code folding and a copy to clipboard icon. but that is controlled by the shell, not the terminal>>568046047aggymart>>568048409I use the web chat to explain to me 3d maths and camera projection stuff because I'm trying to do world picker -> ui inventory drag&drop type stuff, which was easy enough (camera.unproject then shoot a ray) but then I wanted an offset_lookat() function for in-engine cut scenes, which is just like a normal lookat(), but instead of 0,0 center of screen, any arbitrary point on screen, and my attempt was not always working correctly.
>>568054696looks like a fun game
>>568042347nice. i just remembered some anon here made a giga tree rendering thing...billions of trees wonder what happened to it. iirc it turned distant trees into voxels...

>>568059581I don't believe a mere mortal can create this level of unfiltered childlike SOVL. This has to be some psyop.
>>568059484why so many A names anon?
Damn, I remember when it was borderline too smart for me here. Entering a thread was just mind-boggling, the people making games had incredible insight. And on a topic you knew about, entering a conversation of interested people was an amazing thing. Newfriends will never experience how things used to be and it makes me sad.

Success is negatively correlated with how often you post your game on /agdg/. The most successful /agdg/ devs wasted the least of their time posting their games here.

Sending good vibes to all the lolidevs.
>>568068542hiro...
My game is too smooth at 60 and too choppy at 30 what if I locked it to 40 or 50 fps hahah jkjk... unless..?
Is there value in improving my character modelling skills if I am unable to learn drawing(for textures)? even if I got a tablet I can't run sunstance. even the color picker widget in blender lags for some fucking unholy reason.
>>568070373make the camera run at 60+, but lock the animations to 12fps
>>568070725>I am unable to learn drawing(for textures)?people have been making textures for 40 years. what is the problem? If your hardware is that bad, you should not be bothering with substance style texturing.
>>568068542Good vibes received, thanks.
>>568071024then how would I do them?
>>568071408try mapping old paintings onto the models like arctic eggs guy does. they are hundreds of years old so no copyright issues.
>>568072335See that's why he's gmi and I'm not. I don't have this sort of intelligence.
>>568072335really? what painting did he use there?
>>568047896>practically nothing it did was usefulThat sounds very similar to a certain someone.
>>568070725Sure just do vertex colors instead of texture maps
>>568073387Stop talking about me
>>568072695not sure. it was years agohis insta https://www.instagram.com/cdbunker2/you can see him use old paintings here and there.
>>568072335don't classical arts have the same problem as classical music?like the notes themselves are copyright free, but a company can own a particular recording and strike you for thati think classical arts have the same shit, where the painting itself is public domain but the picture file itself (called a "digital reproduction") isn't
127 days left until my money runs out. I owe 20 hours of work.Right now I'm working on establishing the losing/game-over conditions for the game and the UI needed to tell the player they fucked up. It's not just a game over screen, ok? It needs to have emotional relevance, it needs to encourage the player to waste however many hours on trying again, it has to tell the player how they fucked up and hint how to do it better next time. It's going to take a week at least.In other news, I must lose at least 6kg of fat. I can't fit in my pants from last year and I can't afford new pants because I'm trying to stretch (get it?) my savings as much as possible to finish my game before I need to get a job.
>>568023874>no amogus
>>568076154https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain>Another class of uncreative works which are unable to claim copyright protection in the US are those resulting from mechanical reproduction. Following Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp., a simple reproductive photograph of a two-dimensional artwork does not give rise to a new copyright on the photograph. Many other countries (but not all!) recognize a similar ineligibility for copyright for reproductive photographs of two-dimensional public domain works.
>>568076665so how come this principle doesn't apply to classical muzak? seems a bit unfair innit
>>568076736renditions of classical music can arguable change the sound enough to be their own piecewhile I don't agree with this from a legal standpoint, I have personally made distinctions and found certain renditions of music I like to be superior to the original or older ones
>>568076736Because what you're talking about isn't a mechanical reproduction like in the case of the painting but a human going and performing the music using an instrument and that involves creative expression.
>but a human going and performing the music using an instrument and that involves creative expressionif that's the case, if i, say, repaint by hand a classical painting by myself from scratch, do i get to file a copyright on it?
>>568077210probably not, since it's a copy, the only thing you'd own is YOUR copy, but you can't claim the likeness of the original
>>568077210Only if they decide there's enough creative expression in your reproduction

Demo Day 69 is almost here, and you'd like to get something back from all your hard effort. I will make a generous donation to your demo if you add a screen at the beginning that says "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts". It must be unskippable and stay present and visible for at least 5 seconds.Note that for any qualifying games I'll be waiting a week to make sure you don't just immediately replace it.I don't want to list an exact amount, because a game where it really doesn't fit in, or going the extra mile (fart noises in your soundtrack, especially in a serious game, things like that) will be rewarded more heavily. Humiliate yourself.The more you degrade yourself, the harder I laugh, the better your reward. Life handed me some bounty with Bitcoin and GME, so I'm more than happy to "give a little back" ;)
It's my first time using the pixel perfect camera for unity and I think I'm going insane.When the camera moves I can clearly see with my eyes the background sprites "shrinking" a bit. Horizontally when the camera moves sideways and vertically when the camera moves up and down. But when I record it or take a screenshot the sprites looks perfectly fine.Has anyone else experienced this?
how did you guys learn to make good assets?

what is the stupidest genre of indie? tcg/ccg? roguelike? my instinct is that anything which requires the dev to have a degree in combinatorics should be avoided like the plague but people seem to love the most imbalanced crap

It gives the player a (false) sense of achievement, as if they outsmarted the game by building something strong. In truth it is a system designed to make OP builds which are often necessary to beat the game. With the RNG involved putting together a specific OP build is about the stars aligning, not about player skill but players are fools, cattle to be herded.
>>568089550It's a dev eat dev world out there bro, sorry.
>>568089893Pretty much. It's the same thing with (successful) strategy games. They succeed because they make the player feel smart.If you were to make a game that actually required decisive thinking and planning that went beyond "I'm going to hide in a corner and make a big army since the ai isn't aggressive" you would just anger them.
>>568089893>>568090317Video games are meant to be fun, go pick up a book or something if you want to be an obnoxious snob.
>>568090398I'm not being a snob I'm discussing how you make games be perceived as fun.
Not much game deving yet but I'm playing around and learning blender because I want to make an aracady rally racing game. I'm trying to build a toolbox for generating roads and shit on a huge scale. Just now I figured out how to connect points with curves that take the slope into account which produces decent results. Thanks for reading my blog.

>>568090398Are you stupid? That's the whole point. It doesn't matter what is actually happening it is the players' perception of it that forms their opinion of the experience they are having. If you can make them perceive the experience as fun then you've succeeded in making a fun game. It is up to you as the designer to control the players' experience. It is up to you to make it fun for them and you need to understand how that happens. What is actually going on VS what the player thinks is going on.
>>568092201there are no bots in this thread man, this is the game dev pit of despair of the internet
>>568093238Obviously PVP games are different in that the opponent isn't the game (and its designer) but the other player. The game is simply a ruleset for the players to compete with one another. By building a good deck in MTG the player feels that he has outsmarted the opponent and that might very well be true. That's why most people have an absolute miserable time losing in PVP games and why forced 50% winrate matchmaking sucks. Can you imagine making a single player game where the player has a shitty time 50% of the time he's playing the game? That wouldn't do so well or it would be a highly niche game focused on forcing the player to git gud which appeals to some but not most.
>>568093621>Can you imagine making a single player game where the player has a shitty time 50% of the time he's playing the game?yea it's called dark souls and it's defined gaming for nearly 2 decades
If you want to make it (financially), scout steam for a successfully game that you would like to copy. Play the shit out of it. Figure out what are the negative aspects of that game, how to remove or fix them, and what are the positive aspects of the game and how to expand on top of them. Read Reddit, Discord and Steam reviews for common complains about the game and address them. Then, release a more polished version of the same game, at similar or slightly lower price tag.Here, guaranteed success.
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
>>568094059That rose to popularity due to it making good content for streamers dying a bunch. It is still a very niche genre and in my opinion fromsoft doesn't even do it well with how jank their games are.
>>568094179i don't think anything meaningful has ever come of this. ygo did this to mtg and it became dreck. hearthstone did this to ygo and it became dreck. iterative design is fine but simply removing friction for the sake of removing friction runs a massive risk of conflating amusement with engagement and decoupling the fragile engagement combo that makes a thing amusing. your post would be more meaningful if there were examples. remove the friction from vampire survivors and get what? remove the friction from sts and get what? a nothing burger
>>568094484>rose to popularity due to it making good content for streamersmaybe if you were literally born in 2014. now account for the absolutely massive survival-like genre where players invest thousands of hours into a digital sisyphean task game like project zomboid, or any rogue-x game.
>>568094402what's worse than this is thinking because you shipped a pre-chewed clone of some extrememly popular and deterministic game and religiously follow some youtuber that fills your head with "juice" nonsense that you have a worthwhile opinion on anything. the only thing worse than a nodev is a dev who picks the corn out of bigger game's shit and thinks it grants special insight. show me your phd in mathematics or computer science shut the fuck up. or does the idea that you can't actually just divine a "good game" by reading the steam chart tea leaves make you emotional?
>>568094526I'm not talking about friction as a negative specifically, I'm talking about negatives such as level design quirks, bugs, crashes, limited item/class choices, and so on.

>>568095867the saying is Those who can't do, teach
>>568096215Hmmm... No, I will keep using my own version.

>>568096351game dev youtubers are like: My game FAILED, why I'm quitting game dev...
>>568094179>>568094526>>568095021It is important to distinguish between friction and flaw. WoW removed a bunch of friction and ruined the game. It also added flaws like flying mounts and difficulty modes which cheapened the content. A good game needs a suitable level of friction. What that level is depends on the game. Zero friction leads to boredom.

>>568096313you either need the experience that the degree gives you or you need a brain that was never going to benefit from it. john carmack vs richard garfield basically, men who we still live in the shadows of. tf2 was managed by a phd in finance. zelda is an example of a dev just lying to you, miyamoto says the idea just came to him, but ignores the army of computer science salarymen who made it happen. there is a reason this era of gaming is dominated by gambleslop: you don't need to be smart to design it.

>>568096996Nodevs usually get their gamedev knowledge from life experiences, not a course or school.Life consists of tasks and play, both of which form the foundations of a video game. Someone like Toby Fox has a lot of knowledge, but no wisdom. Whereas most nodev gurus have a lot of wisdom (from other areas of life) but little specific knowledge.
I finally finished my trailer by pulling an allnighter. just in time for v/3.
>>568097127the math needed for 99% of the games hitting steam is addition and subtraction. poker but i shoot you if there's a 7 type shit. roll a d6, 123 means you live, 456 means you die. over and over.

i just realized how fucking EVIL the gabencunt is, with how he weaponized achievements against both devs and gamers.steam achievements are just a total one-shot for the feeble gamer brain. the musical jingle, perfectly engineered to trigger all the right dopamine spots in your brain, the placement of the notification right on the periphery of the gamer's vision, ensuring it disrupts the whole picture and the gamer notices, the yellow shiny glitter designed to make the brain dispatch even more dopamines, and a global/friend achievement ranking... it's no wonder why some people are genuinely addicted to steam achievements.as for the devs, achievements are necessary for you to add. to dissuade gamers from committing refund fraud (by copying your game files before refunding the game) by attaching the game to an account deeper, to use them as a way to increase playtime (thus making the game more favourable for the alg), achievements being advertised as a feature on your store page... they're basically a necessity at this point.it's insane how evil this whole setup is. god i fucking hate gabencunt, literally the second most evil man in gamedev after john riccitiello.

>>568112361>childrearing analogy on an incel forum
>>568111714My guess? Because art for a game has a purpose. Which means you have to work on whats necessary for it to do what it needs to do and not just what you feel like doing. When making art for yourself you can do what you want and don't do what you don't want to.

>>568110329>Its going to be ue5 with a 6 slapped on it.that's what I'm afraid of
>>568110236we need this energy in this thread
>>568112741There's been some pretty big additions hinted at over the years for 6, far more than just "UE5 with a 6 slapped on".Various features that have been "beta tested" (for lack of a better word) in UEFN and other partner projects are gonna be merged into mainline UE. For example Verse, finally adding a written scripting language back in, as an alternative to blueprint nodes or C++. Also expect tools they've worked on with partners, Black Myth Wukong was specifically mentioned at the time, and ofcourse CDPRs nanite foliage was shown off last year as the first major feature from their collaboration.There's major overhauls planned for CPU performance, making previously singlethreaded systems multithreaded. The entire engine simulation and gameplay happens on one thread, that will all become multithreaded for major performance gains. Iirc there have been some updates since they teased that already making a small start at this.Then there's big changes to networking, which is supposedly getting major improvements for MMOs and persistent online projects. Ways to have multiple communicating server nodes, players seamlessly being handed off between them, allowing massive amounts of connected players (to "the scale of millions [...], perhaps even a billion concurrent players") sharing one game.There's also some more "out there" ideas floated, like a full merge of UEFN into Unreal, essentially making Fortnite another build option next to Windows, Playstation, MacOS, etc. Though in fairness, with the November announcement that Unity would get just that, a Fortnite export option, it just might happen.

after writing this post: https://ivysly.com/blog/how-to-make-a-successful-indie-gamei figured it was probably posted here too (and later was by me, a few days ago) and i thought some of the responses were interesting so i wanted to respond in turn to them.the most common sentiment was pretty overwhelmingly:> why is this idiot pretending like he isn't good at making games? his game sold well because it's good, and good games sell.i feel like my blog post didn't convey very well that i know that i'm good at making games, and that YOMIH is in fact a special game in some regards. i understand why it blew up the way it did. i thought my saying "hard work and skill are prerequisites for luck" accounted for this, but a lot of people have come away from that post thinking i only wanted to disparage myself. not the case - i am skilled and i put in the hard work. no ulterior motives.some more things i want to address:>why is this idiot trying to discourage and deter new devs? what is in it for him?i tried to be clear about this, but my point was never that you should stop gamedeving on the basis that you will not make money. my point was that you should make games for yourself, and stop obsessing over making it your career - that's where i see people get burned and go crazy, especially here. ironically only by giving up hopes of "making it" did i become free to make a game i truly wanted to play, which then happened to resonate with other people>why are we even talking about this idiot? he left agdg years agoi've been here (sometimes)... regardless this place is a part of me for better or worse. some people were arguing about whether or not YOMIH should be on the made by agdg list, and i must say i'm actually kind of proud of it being there in some pathetic way, but ultimately it's up to you.blog over. PS ty all for picrel, it made me laugh
>>568114264Isn't that just the Bioshock gameOr did you choose to milk the Little Sisters for ADAM instead of building your harem
>>568113919Cris, what would you choose to be your suite for tools for making all the audio for a game on Linux? So the sound effects and music. Would you rather use Windows tools on WINE?
>>568109251Yes. In terms of sovl.
>>568114510You're clearly a smart and reasonable guy, but smart and reasonable takes are the last thing the luckcoper wants to hear. He will continue to twist your words out of context.

>>568115139>oy vey shut it down
Kinda lost my motivation for working on the game recently, been working on it on and off for two years and i have little to show for it, two finished levels and the basics for combat that's about it. I submitted a demo to agdg demoday once and the feedback was nice but i really don't know where to go from here.>>568114142Truly there are still visionaries left in this general.
>>568114357These are just characters I kept re-drawing over the years until I liked how they look, I don't really have a process besides trial and errorI also have no worthwhile socials, I just draw for myself (and now for my game). The only thing I really ever uploaded was the art of our dnd group I did
>>568114510I'm already lucky now I just need to put in the hard work and get skilled

>>568114510>my point was that you should make games for yourself, and stop obsessing over making it your careerI respect this idea alot. Focusing on "making it" will kill all the joy from this hobby. It's especially worse when someone is a beginner but still focusing on something like that. Thanks for the interesting read.
>>568115998Don't compare yourself to others. I suck in other ways, and I'm absolutely not young anymore. Share your art, I wanna see!
>>568112279basedI have a design for a dullahan lying around somewhere but it never got quite good enough results on the polls, semi-popular but never made it inI plan to get a simpler artstyle like that once I'm done with my current game. I waste way too much time on art for no good reason
>>568116271they just want reasons to give up I guess
>>568115054he was addressing retarded luckdenier replies to picrel posts, not the picrel posts themselvesif skills and luck and hard work are all necessary, then you simply have to get lucky and there is no "luckcoping"

>>568116808sure if that makes you feel better, just as long as you understand that if luck is necessary, then you can't make it without getting lucky

>>568117292our world revolves around ourselves, yes
>>568117002There will always be an element of luck associated with every hand of poker, but skilled, professional poker players who understand GTO will always have much higher odds at getting lucky than an amateur retard would.

>>568118513>luck matters but you can average it out by making as many games as a poker player plays hands>I am very smart, you are very dumbivysly actually addressed this in his blog post and pointed out that it's a poor argument to discount the importance of luck
>>568115294Does it need many more levels? Look at Idols of Ash, only about 40mins long. I think I played your demo longer. Another path is just fleshing out some arena stuff, phantom crash-like.
>>568119148the thing with coding is that most of the shit an indie needs has already been done, but actual devs refuse to share it, even if its deprecated or not legally protected, for unknown reasons, so AI coding is actually a good thing if you at least know how to code properly

>>568120402There's at least two different types of neuroplasticity. One type is where a tabula rasa child can be indoctrinated into whatever propaganda the adults around decide to paint them with, since they're not yet cognizant or sentient enough to make any real decisions for themself. The other type of neuroplasticity comes through meta-cognition and a high degree of sentience. This stems from a high level of education and high IQ, as well as the emotional maturity to make an active effort to seek contrary opinions, lest they be trapped in a sub-optimal local minima of thought. Unfortunately, for most people, they will never reach the second stage of neuroplasticity. We commonly refer to these people as midwit NPC sheeple, while those who can reach stage two are referred to as free thinkers.If you feel your neuroplasticity diminish in your 20s, that is because you're an NPC, and you're NGMI.

instead of infinite hills, now I have defined landmasses by tapering off according to XZ.Now my lands have coasts and an ocean board for some readable flavor.

>>568137702Why not give Simplex a shot? it's made by the same guy with less computational overhead?
Haven't played nintendoid slop in ages. Looked up Metroid Prime 4 footage out of curiosity.Wow... that was total fucking garbage and like 8 hours of gameplay tops with no backtracking. Why isn't anyone making a 3D metroidvania? There is apparently zero competition.
>>568137964I didn't know that. If profiling determines that the Perlin I am using is causing high overhead, then I can consider using that. Thanks for the information.
>>568138047>Why isn't anyone making a 3D metroidvania?How would that be any different than any of the number of 3D games out there with world maps that require completing obstacles and quests to unlock?
>>568138191smaller world, tighter design, thought out backtracking without being obnoxiousy'know, like Metroid Prime 1? a game released 25 years ago?
>>568138154he made it to address "limitations" in the original Perlin algorithm. The math is a bit harder to implement but you'll end up with a less blocky appearance and fewer directional artifacts. It might not be a look you're going for though so check out the differences.
>>568079829KEK betz advertising post got deleted, today was a good day, fuck betz
>>568138393>smaller world, tighter design, thought out backtracking without being obnoxiousI think it might be that if you take a Metroidvania outside of it's form factor, the concept actually becomes quite generic. This sounds like Tomb Raider and all sorts of things.

>>568142497Even if they don't care as players its the difference between being able to use high impact marketing sentences like "100% AI free" without being liable to a PR shitstorm in case someone in the press gets wind of AI being used for the even a small part which could end up entirely wrecking the whole business model. Look at the impact bad press had on yansim for example
we should split these threads into actual game development and people concerned with marketing products.
: Hirdrih Technologic ::progress :: Brinkaedea characters.>>568111491It's a platformer but instead of the companion gimmick like Nortubel, the main gimmick is a magic arrow that you can use to have some basic interactions in the levels like clicking buttons or picking up an object and move it around.In terms of story, it does take place after Nortubel and you see some returning characters after the events of the first game.I actually wanna try and have it so the story of the first game kinda shows up in any game I get to make.For example, I have ideas on Bonka's own game and how to incorporate her events in Nortubel with her main story,
>>568143346>we should split these threads into actual game development and people concerned with marketing products.
>>568143346Jesus fucking Christ, yes. Please.
>>568143386I see, sounds interesting. To be honest the companion mechanic in the first game was a bit annoying to use, even if it was nice thematically. Good luck on your progress.
>>568143346that won't solve anything.
>>568143346Do it!...what do you mean you want other people to do it for you, it was your idea
>>568143346>we should split these threads between beginners and perma/beg/s who are still caught up with learning all of the necessary prerequisite skills and those of us who are beyond that and are more concerned with commercial viabilityI've been saying that for ages, but retards like you will always flood back into where the more skilled devs hang out.
>>568143805tired of reading about every game coming out and analyzing how many wishlists and reviews it will have or does have
>>568143858>>568143838>>568143474this>>568143805what stops them from continuing to jeetpost in the regular agdg?
>>568143923sure but those people are still going to post here they're not going to migrate even if that thread existed.
>>568143858If you know it wont work why have you been saying it
>>568143994A man can dream.
>>568143975I thought we were doing it because we wanted more posts, not less.
haven't seen a single post regarding marketing in this thread...
>>568144206
@568144206its half the thread at least
>>568144206We live rent free.
>>568143985If you guys are threaded splitting I feel the only viable solution is to make one somewhere with IDs (/bant/?) so everyone can just filter the people they dont like and in theory everyone can be happy that way. Though I guess you will still have IP hoppers so nvm
stop trying to change or split agdg retards, it is what it is
>>568144558nobody is going to /bant/ unless these threads get banned from /vg/
>>568144625fuck you
>>568144675yeah agdg /bant/ threads were made but they all died due to lack of interest
post aggy alternatives
>>568145018post them on agdg so the schizos will spread to them? no thank you

>>568145523True, no company should play on the strengths of its workforce to deliver a high quality product
>>568145793no. the artist is the one who must make what the leader of the team desires. but oh well I guess he makes some pretty juicy lolis

>>568023874Every time I put work into the game it immediately follows the line of thought, "So I guess it's not happening huh?" and I get super depressed and get forcibly dragged into working on it
>>568148262Never EVER quit your job for a side project, gamedev or not. Always KEEP your job UNTIL your hustle actually brings in money and allows you to retire.Unless you're a nepo baby or living with parents then I guess you do you.

>>568153105>BINARIES JUST DROPPED
I've got a big ass terrain and I want to populate it with billboard trees, bushes, etc.In Godot, these are a scene which I guess they may need to become a multi mesh or some combined item later, but at the moment I just need some way to place them in world where they snap onto the terrain instead of requiring Z adjustment. What's the smart way to do this?

Time to read miyamoto musashi 5 rings book so I can BTFO chuds again.
>>568108404Lately, I've been trying to follow picrel. Sometimes I waste so much time on small details like these that I end up project hop because the project takes too much time to get anywhere. But these details are good if you also want to post progress on your socials.
Got the skeleton of new AI system working, holy shit this was a lot of work. turned into 5 stage asynchronous job pipeline to generate possible actions -> async batched raycast to get and fix correct terrain positions -> more batched raycast to evaluate cover and LOS from every candidate position -> feed candidate action + context into solver for scoring -> execute best action. Right now only scoring for weapon ranges is implemented, so it'll just try to keep a target in it's optimal range + some randomness, but I got a very robust framework to build upon.

>>568148262kek finally there only for it to slip through your hands. if you can't into art can't you just pay someone or get them to work on it for rev share? how do you have it set up with your current guy? just do art whenever he feels like it/has time?

>>568159661don't be obtuse. there are a million ways in which you can work on a vertical slice or prototype of a game, or a feature within a game, without needing to fret over every detail from the get go. that's obvious for art but also for the engineering side of things tooyou aren't a civil engineer lil bro

I'm here eating a tv dinner (sweet and sour chicken with rice) along with drinking a Baja Blast Cabo Blast instead of being a super successful gamedev with a doting wife who brings me self cooked chicken tendies with the soda in a glass. Maybe one day I will make the game that makes me a million dollars and gets me many fangirls. There amongst the crowd is my doting thobeit fangirl. My game has already elevated her view of me and blushes hard at the sight of me. If only I was good at gamedev sisters ;_; The rice is okay, I've had this before and the chicken/sauce is pretty good, soda is good too. No gamedevving right now, pretty hard to focus when eating.>>568164678I hope your day gets better sis. Would you mind showing us the game? I had something similar happen to me, it was also made by a team and it may have even been funded by a publisher. Do you think you can beat them to release?
>>568159559Good Work
so what's the hardest and takes the most time in making games? let's say it's a combat game with no npcs and i already made all the combat mechanics, stats, meters all that's left is art, some animations, enemy AI, level design, did i already finish the hardest part?
>>568167858making content. In your example would be creating the npcs, giving them names, dialogues, etc. using the system's you've built.
>>568167858Map and level design probably. Arranging geometry into fun and somewhat immersive shapes.
>>568168009i literally said the game have no npcs, only enemies and the dialogue before and after boss fights would be pretty minimal and can be finished in like a day or two>>568168145yeah i feel it's this i really don't know where to start with level design, i want something like a mini elden ring not open world but similar structure where each level is a small open field with lots of hidden things like caves and mini dungeons and hidden areas and then a big dungeon at the end
>>568167858Programming
>>568166694
Why are you people so fatalistic and standoffish? What the fuck is your problem? Why can't you be more outgoing? You seriously need to lighten up. Gamedev communities should be about having fun and spreading happiness, not crabbing and egoism.
>>568169802
>>568169013>i literally said the game have no npcsmb. I mentally skimmed over the "no". I feel like you might be underestimating how long enemy AI + animations will take. It'll probably require a few passes to get right.
Not sure if this is the right place, I want to start a passion project, I've got this idea for a video game but the thing is that I grew up playing Roblox when it was safe, these days all of Roblox is plagued with MTX and a bunch of systems that I have no idea if they're reused code or not but in any case I wanted to make something simple and fun, has anybody tried Roblox studio?
