Now what?
>>568994398first for this being a lolidev general
>>568994481Cute game, but I doubt someone making that is old enough to post here.
>>568994481now add waifus
Why is he doing this to me?
>>568994750Did you try turning it off and on again?
How do I add appeal to my loli character designs?
>>568994481>>568994608Waifus from AGDG's devs
Dithered. Gradient. Dust.
>>568994524I'd rather fuck Laharl
Someone is obsessed.
>>568994973Make them adults with big breasts and butt cheeks
Someone is possessed.
I'm gonna give up on making games and gonna focus on making waifus on blender.Chuds btfo i think.
>>568994973post them?
>>568994481Wow someone fell for the pong memego work on a real game now
Perhaps the real chud being BTFO'd was Cris all along.
>>568995393Pong is a real game. Also I didn't fall for anything. I did that in like 3 hours just to show you retards how pathetic and lame you are with your lack of progress posts. If in 3 hours I can create that wrong scratch in multiple tools then it shouldn't take so long for others to show anything else new off.
>>568995326feet...
>>568994524what game is this art about?
Grand Theft Auto VI is skipping the PC at launchbranno, we're safu

>>568994481Just make gaem
HOW THE FUCK DO I MARKET MY GAMEI ONLY KNOW RANDOM GOONS FROM PLAYING GAMES ONLINE THEY HAVE NO CLOUTDO I SPAM STREAMERS AND JEWTUBER EMAILS OR SOMETHING ????
Made some improvements to the atmosphere, would love some feedback.
>>568997028make a good trailer
>>568995554>just to show you retards how pathetic and lame you are with your lack of progress postsI know that my work ethic is terrible but I'm working on that

If only you could execute those ideas am I rite ;)
All the AGMI yesdevs are fleeing to Argentina while nodevs fester in the threads. How do nodevs cope with this massive humiliation?
i don't have any ideas to execute
>>568998492by spamming the thread with AI edits
>>568998492is the cord called argentina now?
We are reaching ludseething levels never seen before. Too bad they cannot use that energy to make a game.
>>568998949no one posts in the aggy pedocords anymore
>>568994524>>568995326Make her a catgirl.>>568997028Submit it SAGE and Vinesauce and the like. Or just have a cute character and let her organically do the marketing for you.

goodnight lolidevs and bocchisisters
Testin' worms. I was going to maybe work on the first puzzle mechanic (probably push-blocks) but since I already had sandpits and bugs, I figured I should try worms.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7sUusPNj5M

>>569000689pretty much all that goes on in the faggy 'cord is people talking about gay anoose sexing each otherAll that happens in the kybuu pedocord is cunny postingAnd then nothing happens in the splintered 'cords after faggy 'cord went yesdevs only

I'm here so infrequently I never know if you guys are serious about the discord thing or if its a running gag

imagine jannying for free. pay me, niggas I ain't cleaning it up for free
>>569001185wow really like this artstyle especially the little clusters of palm trees >(probably push-blocks)Just be careful sokoban puzzles can get tedious pretty quickly when you don't have the rapid grid-aligned movement of a sokoban game

I'm so much better than you. God damn.
>>568996173THE correct replymaking pong is not about the pong mechanic but about making everything around the mechanic including all the boring stuff
>>569002021Are there an agd discords that aren't gay?
>>569003565start by choosing the direction of light, start with blacks, then do luminance.the majority of all "edges" are actually usually the brightest part and then a sharp shift if value down, unironically try shading a box.
>>569003856it's a cris meme, you wouldn't get it my beloved forevermore.
>>568996173>>569003914Unnecessary fluff for a shitpost game. Although I could probably do it in like an hour or 2 I don't really feel like rendering any more UI elements or getting my midi controller out.
>>569003996Yeah that's what I did, or tried to, light is coming from the left and front. This is my 4th ever attempt at a pixel art though and my 1st ever attempt at shading. This is the kind of thing I just need to grind at over and over until I'm not shit, isn't it...
>>569003565go to spritersresource and zoom in
>>569004165it's not that complex, you should just do some light studies, just because it's pixel art isn't changing the simple fact you're trying to mimic how light behaves on a 3d form.
Since I've been refactoring stuff, I decided to go back and change a few things for the sake of it. The leiomano now causes bleed. I don't think any enemies have any sort of bleed resistance for now, so it's pretty dangerous. On the other hand, I gave bleed to a few other enemies as well. I also decided to make it so this tentacle guy's grab builds up dizzy on you. Because it's a build up over time as you're spun, if you can break out of the grab quicker, you're able to become less dizzy.
>>569004120>Unnecessary fluff for a shitpost game.Do you think the point of making pong is to learn how to bounce a ball off a paddle?The actual point of the exercise is to do a simple version of a complete game, and there is no completing a game without the "fluff"
>>569004120NGMI
>>569003565wow specter of los this is beautiful
>>569003565I hate to be that guy but the problem is your workflow. There isn't actually must wrong with your piece. You're getting myopic because you're looking too closely. In pixel art for any region of color you're basically only going to use 3 colors of different value between black and pure white.What I would do it more or less restart but in a very fast way, pull out the silhouette and then block out the planes of light, consider edge light and light that will bounce back, if something is very round like a peak it's having a lot of gradient in light and the face closest to the light will often be bright for example hold out your thumb if you move it around from your eye you can see the apex of light moving along the surface, that's the light source which is fixed. Look at the sprite zoomed out, then for the blocked out silhouette fill back the colors.
>>569003565I would say shift your hues, but I can see you're already sorta doing that, just make sure it's a conscious effort. Try not to just use multiply or darker values, always shift your hues for brighter/darker colors, it looks much more profound on pixel art.Generally, I think black lines look better only when they're reserved for the outline of a character's silhouette (exterior lines only). The internal lines, you can play around with their colors a lot to mix and match them to the base colors of your character. But I like using blacks for the outlines because it gives it a very Konami game Super Nintendo main character look.
>>569004662I already have more complete games lmao>>569004697I have a publisher though?
>>569006495post publisher
>>569006495Post evidence for any of this.Just post your steam partner page. Blur sensitive info. Just prove you have one.
My dad works at Microsoft.
>>569006692>>569006758Can't, literally in my contract to not do or post anything relating to social media. Project hasn't officially been announced.
>>569006845My dad can beat up your dad.
>>569006495>I already have more complete games lmaoThen why did (You) make pong at all? The exercise is for neverdevs who have never made a game.
>>569006926Oh cool, no worries then. I believe every word you say.
>>569007005Yeah and that's why your dad is in jail.
>>569007190How would you know that? I don't even know what he's been up to ever since he went out to get milk.
>>569006926just post a pic of the events page with an event highlit
Why are you guys letting publishers to scam your money?
>>569007036Because I'm shit posting you dipshit
how do i get good at character designh
>>569008889Your dad is gay
>>568994398I did a quick sketch on ms paint of the game I want to make /agdg/. The idea is to have fixed camera angles in the general overworld, and free look camera, party based combat transitions with similar gameplay to FF7 Remake or Summoner 2 for the PS2, where you can pause the game and swap party members on the fly whilst still having an engaging action experience. It would also have a lot of text, cut scenes, multiple spells to be used inside and outside combat and a unique leveling/progression system. Would you consider this hard for an indie dev? If you could cut off some fat to make it more feasible, what would you change? Do you know of any good tutorials for these features (action game with multiple party members, fixed camera angles, possibly pre rendered backgrounds for the overworld) and what engine would you recommend? Thanks
>>569008889always make the characters 5-6 heads tall, make them have no curves, make them cute!!
i think the best kind of loli characters are ones that have a sort of abrasive attitude, so i think when we design our characters we should be incorporating designs that show their brattiness
>>569008073Pays my bills while I work on the game instead of working a regular 9-5 and trying to cram dev time in afterwards.
>>569009097Unity or Godot.Everything is hard for an indie dev, especially one that doesn't even know which tech to use. I'd spend a couple of months making simple but increasingly complex games and by then you'll know what tech you prefer and whether the game you're describing is too complex for you
>>569009097If youre asking for tutorials, this might be the wrong first project. But i appreciate the desire.
>>569009097stealing this
>>569010797What is a,good first project?
>>569010905a game in which you are a loli and you must evade the nodevs
>>569002836>>568971215>>568819001>>569002225>>568980276>>568853538>>569006035>>568984682>>568830490Why are you doing this?
>>569011132he posts one of those memes every time gamedev gets too hard and he gives upafterwards he starts a new vibecoded project from scratch
>>569011132Mental illness and the ecstasy of (you)s
>>568994398color landsword capsule looks good. he could do that without AI.
>>569006218I think I understand all this in theory but when it comes to putting it to canvas I struggle.>>569006262I don't even know how to draw without lining everything out in black first. Here's my current attempt at 3/4, her legs are fucked, though
>>569011402is farming an average of 0.5 YPP really worth being that retarded?sure there is better loot to grind or at least semi productive ways to grinds (You)s to to be fair I have a lower YPP from my progress and art anyways but at least I'm not a mentally ill retard... wait nevermind.
>>569012135>but when it comes to putting it to canvas I struggle.yeah that's cause theory doesn't lead to muscle memory or intuition which is why you do studies, but when you're making a game you don't have time to do studies, just focus on a workflow. Assets take a lot of time.Making assets is what the bulk cost of making a game is.
>>569011132because retards like (You) can't refrain themselves to give them all the attention that he wants
C'est finiI'm a NEVERGMI
>>569012135Black outlines are still common in pixel art. It's not a bad thing at all. Metal slug does it, sometimes with a little tint of the material color. To improve faster, I'd stop making giant pixel art and just focus on making good tiny game character sized pixel art.
>>569012739I believe in you anon
Happy worst of the month to fellow rentoids. I did a summary of my finances this morning and it was a mistake. I'm going to be distracted for the rest of the day.119 days left. This won't be enough to get my game into a shippable state, I'm going to run out of money. The only thing I can do is work more time every day, but I can barely work the 5 hour quota as it is. Actually I can't even do that because I owe almost 20 hours.Today I'll try to not think about any of that and do some writing and fix some bugs if I have the time.
not releasing Saturday because valve has to review a finished build of the game; and I wasnt going to have that build ready until like the 3rd 4th or 5th of next month and valve might takes 1-16 days to have their valve playtester finish and approve bokube so I wont make it to /v3/ on the 6th rip sorry rumor bros still coming soon tho just rike 2 more months in valve time now (cant blame me blame valve)
would you eat at my table
>>569014060Sir, your NEETbucks?
>>569014357>bokube is delaying againlets fucking go! we're so back
>>569014689No NEETbucks for me, only ever-dwindling-income-from-my-existing-games-bucks
>godot 4.7 beta 4the next one is rc1 right?
>>569014509is that netch jelly?
>>569014509>very Morrowindyyes, don't mind if I do
>>569014357what's the launch price good sir?
>>569015934$70 * 100 copies is already $7000
>>569015934$4.99 and im never going on sale because the price will always stay $4.99 maybe $3.99 on sales.
Even if my game can sell a million copies, there's no way I can continue working on this spaghetti mess and create an expansion / update / dlc.I finally learnt one thing.I'm an artlet and also a codelet.I'm just a dumb useless idea guy.
>>569016016we're all jack of all trades master of none all of us
wait bokube is actually finally releasing?
>>569016330Was* We were so close then it went back to the "pit of delay" of which it may never return
>>569016563does he have anxiety about the release
>>569012818>To improve faster, I'd stop making giant pixel art and just focus on making good tiny game character sized pixel artThis feels harder to me. The others were 128x128, this is 64x64. I am used to pencil on paper so trying to make good use of every dot is really hard. Either way I appreciate the encouragement and advice from you and other Anons. I want to learn this style because I love it so much, but it's hard with a mouse instead of a pencil.
>>569015987alrightbut I'd recommend a launch saleit can be short, like a few daysbut this general is terrible with advice so do what you wish
going to add pee pee and poo poo to the game, not taking feedback
>>569016614If you scroll up he said something about the Almighty Gaben having personally outstretched his hand to prevent Bokube from releasing
>>569016701i don't believe gaben would do this
>>569004662Oh shut up.
sirs how did we program before AI did the needful. All dev work has moved to a techlead on a team of autistic savants type scenario
>>569016614No i literally have to wait on a valve playtester to approve the build in the next couple days; then get a approved new release date and since bokube is long and idk if they play the whole game i have no fucking clue anymore. by the 6th of next month the 1.0 build will be probably 100% playable for my personal friends and family though I might start sending steam keys for certain people like ks backers to play early before valve approves a date for me who knows. >>569016780>>569016701Apparently im being put in all these gay baby jails because I missed 2 release dates I told valve I would release at years ago and now I have to be pre-approved by a valve playtester and other store things to go over instead of being able to instantly release like I would have if I did back in 2023.
>>569016701wtf gogem was right??
>>569016895this is just karma for you delaying 3 times.
>>569016895congrats on the upcoming release regardless, it's a huge achievement
>BokuDev waited so long to release his game that Valve is holding it back on purposeI had to laugh.
>>569016895>humiliation ritual 79.pngyou should tell them you got through on Greenlight so they have nothing to gain from delaying you.
>>569017129understandable. If he flaked out 3 times on them over the years you wouldnt trust him when hes ready ether. Hopefully they get hoopoo to test his build so agdg goes full circle.
>>569014060What country do you live in bro? I'll let you stay at my place for free if you bring your own sleeping bag.Also, assuming your game has at least 1k wishlists, you can get a nice boost during Summer Sale if you put your game off 50%, right? So cheer up.

>>569017642aggy is too retarded to understand the simple mathemagiks of sales.trust he I've tried red pilling them on it, but instead they're retarded
Finally giving the dodge some actual iframes, but it's kinda tricky and attack dependent to use. Basically, for wide sweeps like these guys use, if you dodge away from the attack, you have iframes. You're going to have iframes when dodging sideways through things like projectiles and stabs. You won't have iframes for AoEs unless you do the super man dodge (dodge while sprinting, which makes you leap on the ground.) Getting the iframes is pretty tricky though. Here I've only got it a few times, shortly after the 45 second mark.
Not even Betz could get Bokube across the finish line. I laughed so fucking hard.
>>569016895Here's that impeccable customer service the steamies were constantly assuring us over.
>>569018568you have no idea how hard it is to get players to spend even a dollar because you've never tried to sell a game
>>569018554That's just life
>>569016895imagine having bills to pay and needing money and valve just says "Uh no you cant release anytime soon" HOBBY NOT JOBBY reminder.
>>569018554literally none of those statements are true, you can find exceptions to all of them
>>569018985Maybe if Boku released the game three years ago like he said he would, he wouldn't have this problem
>>568994398did he ever talk about how he was making assets? I can't remember if it was 3d stuff or 2d. The demo is really cool.
>forgot what i was about to work on>finally remind myself>it's too difficult
>>569020087claude code, now
>>569014357Good luck, be sure to read the steam e-mails when changing release date just in case you don't fuck it up.
>>569016895How does one get a job in testing games on the 'soon to be released' list
>>569019406strange how valve themselves never seems to follow this principle in any fashion...
>>569017642really nice room but don't you get tired sitting like that for hours
People don't seem to know this but, you can just release games you make. It's not even very difficult, just post them online for anyone to find. Do the ol "Zachtronics" move and capture an audience with your groundbreaking quality.
>>569020123isn't gemini better than claude for code (comparing the free versions)
>>569020802>just be uncannily good in a very competitive field, brookay, thanks for the tip
>>569020408>strange how valve themselves never seems to follow this principle in any fashion...
>>569021156Admitting to not having what it takes is the final step of giving up. Did you give up?
I just figured out a way to have 512 waifu npcs with daily routines in rpg maker 2003.And yes, you can fugg them.
>>569021253>just be the bestis not helpful advice. it's just noise. I was assuming you were trying to be helpful

>>569021194Good morning, zukjeet saar. Your ban from your samefagging melties finally got lifted
>>569021490How many of them are cute boys
>>569021490how many waifus would you say would start hitting diminishing returns? I've had 15 or so girlfriends and they kind of blend together and they weren't even pixelated or shared textures
>tfw I found the camera settings in the engineControlling the character suddenly feels much better. And it is not really something you can showcase on a video properly, you just play it and feel it.
>>569021490>512rookie numbers
>>569021545>Good morning, zukjeet saar. Your ban from your samefagging melties finally got lifted
>>569021490>daily routinesHow are these done?I always wondered how games like harvest moon set a daily routines for NPC.Like on a wednesday, 3:42PM, they will be at this exact spot, even if they are in the middle of walking/travelling to another spot.And then on certain day, they have different routine.
>>569020506I usually stand up or lay on my back every 20~ minutes. But I'll be honest with you, it does get pretty bad on my back and legs. Unfortunately, both a chair and a desk would cost me 1 month's worth of rent, and there's the hassle of carrying them with me once I move out, so I just march on like this until I finish my game (hopefully this year) and then move to a better place. I got used to it.
>>569017642Not having a bed frame is one thing, I've been there as a young man myself...But no mattress? Are you sleeping on a duvet with no cover?And your desk is knee height with a dog bed instead of a chair?You guys really live like this?
>>569023673there's like 10 ways to do this. if you can't think of even one then you have no business making a game like that yet. I suggest first you make a system for a paddle to navigate to wherever a ball is going to intersect a line
Would you play my space delivery guy game

>>569025568sure, link it
>>568994973Turn them into big booty shotas.
Creating a codebase is like tending to a zen garden.
>>569025425Retard, I'm not even making a game with that system.I'm just genuinely curious and wanted to learn new thing.Why the fuck are you being so smug?Please kindly be an hero and make the world a better place.Don't even bothering reply to me, because you are too disgusting as a person.
>>569025829Don't have deliveries implemented yet. Going to make it a "roguelike" so I don't have to make a storyline. Got a few things trying to decide thoughWondering if I should have you just deliver space burritos and pizzas to be absurd or parodies of amazon/UPS/Fedex/government/spacex delivering random items. I originally wanted to go the parody route but food delivery might be the right way to go about it. Ideas could be delivering 50,000 hotdogs to the whitehouse, bombs to different planets, people wanting to go on a space tour to see different planets, etc. I think it offers more variety but curious what you all think.Also do I have you complete N orders then go to a different random galaxy or just keep you in the same galaxy? Should there be a gas station or should every job reward you with some gas? The death conditions are either run out of gas or hit a planet. I worry people that are too good would never die.
>>569024036>You guys really live like this?Hey, as long as it works.The room itself is actually pretty much the nicest part of the apartment. Pic is me boiling some water for my tea.

>>569029098>post webm>nig uses google Lens>finds meYou can drink my ass sweat.
>>569029429Finds you how? What the fuck are you talking about?
>>569029098it's the ai spammer he's trolling (and ban-evading)
>>569029505>doesn't know about Lens>doesn't know you can take an image and find visually similar images posted anywhere online
>>569029505>howgoogle Lens>google Lensgoogle Lens>google LensI literally wrote it. holy fuck
>>569027306Already posted it last thread.Nothing new yet.
>>569029641>>569029729Okay, and? How exactly does that doxx you? Where are you posting that's getting crawled and tied to your personal identifying information? Gen z are so fucking dumb.
>>569029937Nigger, my dev account will NOT be associated with this piss pool especially with you in it KEKK
>>568994524I've seen this character before. What game is she from?
>>569030237that's a prinny from disgaea
>>569030101Dev account? Account for what? The fuck are you talking about?
>>569030373why would anybody even risk exposing their identity to someone as antagonistic as you? so you could tell them their game is kino or slop? why would they care about your opinion at all?
Imagine creating fake scenarios to be afraid of as an excuse for being pathetic with zero progress. Nodev ass general.
I just realized that making 10 teams of waifu by 5 girls per team and 10 diferent variations by age and body shape, to be a much better design than 512 unique designs.
>>569030815How exactly does one risk expressing their identity on an anonymous board with random ass progress photos and videos? No one cares about you or what you do when you're not devving. You're not some main character you fucking autistic retard.
>>569030981post game then
>>569030981the risk is small but the benefit is exactly zero
>>569031172There is no risk, you're making up bullshit to cover the fact you have nothing to provide to this thread.

Amazing how this place has become the discord of discord fags and /v/3 and discord itself is bigger than agdg.
>>569031654The spammers killed it unironically. No one wants to hang out somewhere you are constantly antagonized or assaulted with gore spam.
>>569031495And? Literal nothing burger
>>569031778>people don't want to hang out on 4chan Just scared zoomers who never belonged in the first place.
>>569031650That's my game
>>569031980It's has nothing to do with being scared. No one wants to hang out and discuss gamedev with a schizo homeless community screaming and flashing their junk every 5 seconds.
Thoughts on this?
>>569031319
>>569032090I think you need to start devving a game instead of posting slop 24/7
>>569032027Okay then, post the godot scene.
>>569031789and I don't want a containment leak
>>569032205Post your game, you won't
>>569032073Whatever excuse you want to use coward>>569032109Who cares about itch lmao. You know you can create your own website and host shit yourself right?
>>569032465Leak of what?
>>569032608>just host your own games on your own platform with your own billing
>>569027306Post yours first retard
>>569032849I said nigger on the discord
>>569031654My man, I literally only come to this thread while I'm shitting. It's poetic, it's like I'm literally shitting on all of you
>>569032870Yeah? Why are you acting like that's a crazy concept? Are you 12? Did you just arrive to the internet? It costs $5 to buy a domain and host all your alleged work that'll never be finished and properly released.
>>569033419where is your domain?
>>569032983I literally did >>568994481
>>569033543stop pretending that's your game
>>569033441I went with cloudflare as my host. I think it's like $12/yr.
>>569033589
All domain names I want for my gamedev company are already taken
>>569033881Sounds like you don't have a good unique company name then and should have figured that out first.
>>569033419It is a crazy concept and I say this as an ex web developer. I'd never host my own game that I wanted to charge money for. And neither do almost any game developers
>>569034140It's not a crazy concept at all. No game on itch is some serious project being sold for money, it's just a fucking portfolio. All fucking game developers hosted their own games before steam became popular in the late 2000s. You children are so fucking stupid.
>>569034140what's the problem, stripe link + download button + onerous DRM
It is time to admit AI Chads wonnered while 'dites are nodevs.
I bought mount & blade right from the developer. feels like yesterday.
>>569034270well okay, link your website where you host your game.
>>569034725see >>568994481
>>569034439>just hope gamers will download and run a random .exe from a random website instead of buying their thousandth game on Steamthis place is infested with absolute retards
Made some art

>>569035057>mimic 'dite art styleimitation is the sincerest form of flattery
>>569035281ludcope
>>569034725I don't host my game yet. My website says "coming soon" still for the main page and has some pretty shitty formatting. I'm hiring my friend who is a web dev to actually redo the website since I don't do any of that shit. I mostly just focused on buying all the domains I needed ahead of time.>>569034830It really upsets you that I can post progress even as a shit post and you can't post nothing.>>569034910The only retard here is you. This isn't an uncommon thing at all and sorry that you're a zoomer scared of computers and don't know how anything works beyond a simple iphone. In fact, I have like 3 different games on my computer right now that came direct from a website and have nothing to do with steam or any other online store.
>>569014357Steam's review phase still lets you send out keys for 10 anons in the v3 thread. One key for every year of development.
>>569035353envy
>>569035062whois doesn't show any public facing information>>569035280If you can't even come up with a unique company name I'd hate to think what ideas you're coming up with for a game.
>>569035478or you are envious alright
>>569035372>absolute retard doubles down on retardation
>greentexting nothing instead of making a counterpoint
I used to host my games on my website before Steam. I'm so glad Steam exists.
>>56903367899% of the posters in these threads are indian, poor, or children. They can't afford that cost.

Most game companies only make one game, don't overthink your name.
>>569038013that triangle would fit through that space
>>569038132proof?
Bottom right tablet. A. Linear shading. B. Mirrored shading.C. Radial shading. Could you order them by preference?(I promise it's the last time I ask on this scene and will get to doing other progress afterwards.)
>>569038282I pick D
>>569038204simple math
>>569038282C because it matches everything else, if I could offer a suggestion it's to shade with the "camera pov" as the light source, but also shade top to bottom on the sprites
>>569038132>>569037910>>569037173>>569035281>>569035478redditor faggots like you are exactly the reason that this deranged schizo keep going, some weeks ago these retards finally understood that ignoring him is the best thing that we can do, but there's always one newfag retard that need to reply every single spam that he posts
>>569039668relax
>>569039202>shade with the "camera pov" as the light sourceInteresting, could you elaborate a bit more on this? By sprites do you mean the bottom character sprites or the board "pawn piece" sprites?
>>569039668Best thing to do is encourage aichad to post more, I love to see his posts. I'm a Luddite, and knowing he's out there thinking of me every waking second warms my heart.
>>569039778Both, to some extent. If your larger character sprites are along the bottom of the screen I would strongly encourage this. The only strange things I find about the pawns is that they're shaded from the front
>>569040170I love you too, thugdere aichad
>>569040390"Thugdere" is a term for a thuggish character who often mistreats their love interest by harming them physically and emotionally to hide their true feelings of affection.
I have social anxiety and I am too scared to communicate with Steam staff about getting my game on the storefront. This is it for me, lads.
randomly remembered some projects from back when i used to visit herethere was this one game with like.. thicc mommies and a shota protag? maybe it was an rpg?is that project dead?
>>569040527I went through that recently. After I submitted my page for review I thought I was in for days of anxious waiting. it was approved 18 hours later. And I just felt relieved.
Anyone else thinking?
>>569040772that's probably not a good idea.
>>569040527You sound unemployed.
>>569040772Bruce lee taught me to feel, not think
It's hilarious that when zoomers lose and argument they just fucking walk away instead of admitting they're wrong. An entire generation of weak pathetic cucks.
>>569038282I cant decide which of the colours i like the most, but one thing that has been on my mind a bit is the perspective implied by the depth. Im sorry if this is annoying, but i tried to make 2 different version of yours quickly. Keep up the progress. :>Your board strikes me as a plane, because the game field has figurines, but the rest of the board strikes me as some thing mounted in a wall with a central fleeting point? The top left is the original.The top right is everything going downwards. (sort of as you were looking onto a table)The bottom left is everything fleeting downwards with the board having its right side visible instead of the tablets.The bottom right is just the changes playing after each other to notice the difference. i marked which one it is in the top left of that one.Sorry if this is too intrusive. And im sure you might not like any of these. But i just wanted to give it a try, as something seemed a bit off to me.
>>569041828What's the point of admitting you're wrong instead of walking away in that scenario
>>569042580It's good for intellectual development. Critical thinking requires you to be able to accept new information that refutes what you already know and believe. Otherwise you're just building your ego and you end up being a weirdo that no one likes with no humility.
>>569042580If you avoid reality for long enough, you'll end up like Cris and gogem.
>>569042514>>569038282I want to FUCK Alice!And C for both shading and perspective.
>>569043274and fagoon, dude is textbook of living in an imaginary world
>>569043478Fygoon's still young. He still has time to turn things around.
>>569041828You think that's a new trait?
>>569043274For all the shit I've talked about Gogem he has released on somewhat successful game. Now if I could do that and then not waste it on NPD and throw away my entire career for one Patreon sub that'd be great.
>>569043274They're both more successful than me...
>>569043728>>569044029They've made less money throughout their decade long careers than any random US teenager does during a summer job. You are beneath that.
>>569043626I really don't think he does. He's essentially chris chan tier
is the hindian back seething about gogem all day again?
>>569040203Hmm yeah it does look off now that you mention it. Thanks anon. The pawns will be easy to fix since they're not animated but the other sprites will depend on how much free time I'll have before release. >>569042514It's not intrusive at all, in fact thank you for the very high effort feedback! Yeah the perspective is off because they were both made separately (and at different times) and only later put together. I'll save your gif for reference and do a perspective pass later, thank you.I'm glad I posted at this hour and caught you guys in the thread.
>>569044496>You are beneath that.No I had an actual job and got an education so I am in fact very much above that in every sense
>>569043626>time to turn things around.Not to be pessimistic, but most people don't really change. We have a very romanticized image of how agency works, but the reality of the matter is that the type of person who can change their inner world through sheer will has an exceptional ability, which I can tell you, someone like Fygoon doesn't have.
>>569044496>>569044854I wonder how much above I am the average poster here sometimes. I've owned a house for over a decade, I have a GF, and a good career making a comfortable amount of money.
>>569044729>It's not intrusive at all, in fact thank you for the very high effort feedback! [...] I'll save your gif for reference and do a perspective pass later, thank you.Im happy to hear that. Btw if you go for the third thing id obviously not extend the tiles on the sides but just maybe increase the width of the interface in the middle. As the tiles all being the same size is very satisfying.>Yeah the perspective is off because they were both made separately (and at different times) and only later put together.That can happen ahaha. I often end up with vestige decisions myself. Good luck with your game, im looking forward to what youll be doing next.
>>569043478Fagoon can't even stay in one imaginary world, he's developed an alter-ego in the /v/ dev threads that's slowly becoming the dominant personality.
>>569045339That's better than any zoomer can ever hope to be. They are truly a lost generation.
>>569008889be careful using anime or superheroes as a reference. its not always bad but its definitely a pitfallif youre going to make realistic human characters you might want to study fashion both how it has changes from culture to culture and era to era. probably tons of tutorials out there but the better tips i've heard are:Shape/Silhouette: you'll see this more in older western cartoons. you dont always need to be that dramatic but defining shapes help keep a character different from one another and help them standout. it can also help a character relate to another if thats what youre looking forPalette: limit the amount of colors you use on one character. once again this help will separate(or relate) the character from the others when you have a larger cast.Repeating patterns: anything from shapes to color to motifs and themes repeating through the design will help unify the different parts of a character. this doesnt mean you cant create contrasting elements. sometimes that can make the elements complimentary. like a character whos half fire half iceReadability: how easy it is to make out a character for any given amount of time. this changes depending on the medium and genre. If youre game is fast paced you should have something a bit more simple or standout so as to be quickly understood(slave rats from vermintide). slower story games dont always need that and can relax the design more (gears or war). Though in games like call of duty where you usually just shoot at anybody who isnt your team, designs can also relax. just keep it in mind what your players will have to deal withsuperhero comics do skin tight suits so that its easy to draw all the anatomy in the actions scenes that they are desired for, forcing them to rely on the color and patterns on the suit. cartoons usually work more with flat shapes as drawing high detail is a pain from frame to frame. video games are quite nice in that they often reuse assets instead of remake them
>>568994398Yay, sparkles!

>>569044496Success isn't just money.Cris game for instance has 10 favourites from Japanese people.The most I've gotten is 1 favourite from Japanese people.
>>569048046Reddit hates self promotion, it's peak crab culture. Also cure your danish
>>569048656With money you can go to Japan and show your game to locals in person and have them smile right in your face.

>>569049028That's true but I don't have that kind of money. I need to figure out how to make profitable game to have it so I might become more successful than them.
>>569049878AWOOGA! Fantastic work. Let me know where I can follow/wishlist and I will.
>>569050483It's not even that much money though. Flights are bit higher now than they used to be but you can fly out for like $1k and then it's less than another $1k for everything else. What kind of person can't spend $2k on a vacation except a child?
>>569049878That looks really good. Youre def one of the better pixel artists here.
>>569048046Yep, I saw this: >>569050427and this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3972320/Loot_Loop/In the recommended for his demo. Going to be hard to sell getting appeal mogged in your related games.HOWEVER, I think incremental gamers will buy it, and the game is fun so they will enjoy it enough to review. Meaning it will sell decently. My bet is 10-25 reviews.
>>569048046Soooo are we just going to kick a man while he's down? Being a decent human being costs $0.
>>569049878bait on coomerpathetic
>>569051147dumb troll
>>569051027Idk why he spent all that time developing 3d skills and went back to 2d sloppa
>>569050657A lot of people. Do you realize there are people who are literally in debt? As in they have negative money. Cris gets like 20 bucks a month as allowance to spend on gamedev tools or whatever that makes him better off than a lot of people
>>569051705Anon I've been working since I was 15 and a half and have never had issues spending $2k. Sure maybe it might pop up at an inopportune time and you have to put it on a CC or something for a month or 2 but if you are an adult with a job/career and you're always in debt then you're spending on bullshit like funk pops or something.
>>569048046>>569050273brannosisters... not like this...
>>569048046>Gameplay here is much better than graphics Brutal
>>569051989Bro I just told you Cris has been a gamedev for over 10 years and makes 20 bucks a month that would take over 8 years to get those 2k assuming he didn't spend it on literally anything. I doubt he can afford bullshit like funko pop I haven't heard of him spending money on anything other than gamedev or gamedev adjacent stuff like pc hardware. I'm basically like Cris but without a monthly allowance so to get 2K I need to sell enough copies of my game for that
>>569053479He's a literal outlier you fucking mung. He lives in the fuckin favelas and has mental issues.
>>569053479Cris makes mad bank from his Fansly page
>>569048046He has until November. His artist had better pull out all the stops. It think branno just hasn't got an eye for art at all, so anything above his level looks pro to him.
>>569053479Cris bought a boombox and some magic rocks.
>>569053668whats a favela
>>569053668So what?
>>569054381So it's a spiders georg moment
>>569054134It's a slum but they paint it bright colors so it doesn't seem as bad
But I didn't eat any spiders for breakfast this morning
>>569054564Hardly since we're not talking about average people but rather about individuals
>>569051705>>569055664So a lot of people has now turned into "individuals" so you can feel better about being wrong?
>>569050905>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3972320/Loot_Loop/>40,000 copies soldI think Mina the Hallower will be fine despite the doomposters
Will v3 even be advertised by Valve on the frontpage? There are multiple events you can only find by digging around and seeing them on a participating games page
>>569055925Wait so you turned "a lot of people" into "average person"?
>>569056137You think mina will sell a million? Because that's what they need to not close the studio.
>wait so you used regular vernacular?
>>569056137this game is being covered by every journalist and youtuber, how did anyone think this was gonna flop?
>>569053668I just want to say, mung is hilarious.
>>569056754Uh no, a lot means an arbitrary large amount but it needs not be the average
>>569056616Absolutely not, they sold 130k on launch, probably another 50k the next month, then maybe 10-20k a month for the next 6-8 months.
>>569055184namaste sar
>>569056616Didn't they say 100k?
>it's individuals>it's an arbitrary large amount>it's whatever fits the narrative of my current reply!
>>569057491> 204 people (113 professional roles, 91 thanks) No way it can be 100k, right? That's barely $1m net revenue, which would only be enough to pay their 20+ full time staff for a few months.
>>569057260sounds like a million to me, or at least really damn close
>>569058551My game has 8 people listen in the credits, but I paid less than $2000 total to them because they made like 10 pics and 3 tracks.
>>569057491>In an interview with Bloomberg late last year, Velasco suggested 500,000 copies sold would be a "golden" outcome, and even 200,000 would be "really, really great". However, 100,00 might not be "so good". And in another chat with Bloomberg this week, he's now supposedly got the ambitious goal of shifting a million copies: "If we don't sell a million copies, I'm going to be disappointed".
>>569057656I mentioned both individual game developers (cris being one of them) and the arbitrary "lot of people" that are in debt but neither are implied to be the average.
>>569058693I'm not including contract work in that count. There appears to be about 20 full time, 30 contract/part-time, and 50 localization contract on the credits.

The team was also split working on Shovel Knight 3d for part of mina's dev cycle I still don't quite get how mina took 4 years to get from the state we saw it revealed in to where it is now with that team size though. Like don't get me wrong it's an incredibly polished game but something still feels off

>>569065135i have a large lack of respect for those gamedev youtubers that succumbed to incrementmaxxing. it has to fuck with them that theyre making the anithesis of the games that inspired them to get into the industry in the first place
>>569066140huniepop got me interested in gamedev.
>>569064808>>569064561Let me explain it if you have high IQ and born born (i.e. born human opposed to being born a nepobaby (not human)) then you are destined to live the most miserable life possible.Here's why high IQ cannot pay off systematically for many many fucking years with lost of investment, but if you do the simple calculus going into debt for 30 year just to finally make good money is actually worse than just being strategic at a young age.GMI with a jobby is basically impossible if you're not a nepobaby. young love gf is impossible if you're not a nepobaby with a low IQ.This is why you have to use AI tools because your 20s is the last place where you can GMI and it's not going to happen by sucking corpo tranny dick.You need to utilized AI tools because the logistics math tells us for a fact that a game takes at minimum one year to make, you can't change that logistics reality as a beg.Time isn't a commodity you should be throwing away out of principles.

>>569066692I've had success in the past. I thought I was a very talented and smart gamedev. turns out it was mostly luck and that I can't keep getting lucky forever
>>569067423It's not, although it's not from an original game I made, it's from a private MMO server I'm running where I sell p2w in-game items for real money.
Been working on this for longer than I care to admit...
>>569067590>it's from a private MMO server I'm running where I sell p2w in-game items for real moneygreat. now try selling an original game instead of parisitising off someone else's work.
>>569067713I will, it's a work-in-progress, but I will parasite off other people's work because I'm using AI which uses stolen IP for training data, I guess. I have 3 Claude Code agents running as we speak.

>>569067687Lighting like that looks like a hassle to make. On a scale of 0 to 10 how much of a hassle was it to get lighting right?
>>569070259Bro, just cast like 20 rays in a cone.
>>569070354It looks pixel based. I had something like that and it looked terrible
>>569070430Yes, use a line algorithm to draw pixel lines in a cone and then stop at the points that would occlude the light (a pixel mask layer or a pixel value).
>>569070430>>569070516Like this, obviously this needs tweaking but it's a simple example I just whipped out to demonstrate what I mean.
I cast 360 rays per frame for shadows.
>>569070991(And then basically draw a canvas with alpha overlay and brighten/darken the colors that intersect on the line before the stop pixel then alpha blend the two together)
I cast... GMI!
>>569070991Interesting how thick can you make the light so as to provide a full thick coverage rather than inbetween spaces of 0 light?
>>569071170Erm this part makes no sense to me all my lighting solutions have uhh been well shoot I forgot its been a while since I actually did complex lighting and simply have a 2d point light lol. Noce game though, you plannong on submitting it to demo day 69?
>>569064561When you're dead
>>569071420Yes, it just depends on how many rays you can afford to cast and how accurate you want it to be (you could do thicker line + less rays or thinner line + more rays).
>>569067462Here's the secret if you can get gaymores to press your page and click your stuff and even wishlist it all you need to do is put your game on sale.Look at this if you don't believe me, I warned one armed trandit to not do it and they didn't listen and they shidded n floppedhttps://steamdb.info/app/2239800/I even got banned on /v/ for a few weeks promoting their game and they still didn't listen. This is why I don't do marketing for /agdg/ for free anymore. Don't believe me? I'm the reason flyknight GMI'd it's true; trust me bro.
>>569071626I'm not the anon who posted the game, I'm just telling another anon how he could make something like that since he asked.
>>568995669>>569030237Edna from Disgaea 1Its a game series where the gimmick is that while you can complete the story fairly fast you can keep grinding for 9999 hours to make your stats go up and up and up and up and if you reach max stats you can go fight this super mega ultra boss guy that has 5 quintillion hp so technicly theres 10k hours of content in the game!(9999 hours of that 10k hours of content is farming nameless npcs for stats tho)

Realistically how much money do (you) personally want before you'd consider risking it and going full time gamedev for no less than 5 years?
>>569074164I was about to share my progress, but not with you around. how long until you're in bed?
>>569074768In order to quit my job and maintain my lifestyle while full-time game-devving for 5 years, $350k
>>569074772It's 4pm for me, and I usually sleep around 1-2am.
>>569074768I'd never want to go fulltime. I'm too creative and talented, I get burned out just thinking about my project
::Progress::Made a window.
>>569074768I'd need fuck-you-money.a 5 year employment gap in your resume is as bad as a criminal record
>>569075574nice window bro
>>569074768$400k and if it fails I'll still walk in a position that won't leave me in ruins. It's also enough to let me hire an artist for 2 games and if the situation calls for it neet in an apartment in a flyover state.
I just playtested Thomas Brush's Twisted Tower. AMA.
>>569076000You could hire 4 indians for that cost.
Finished the basic outline for the modifiers and some components for the configs. Nice thing is that the forecast and hopefully enemy ai (when i finally implement their evaluators ahaha) automatically works with it. Now im trying to visualize them. Does the circling outward or appearing alongside the healthbar extension look better?>>569067687Looks really good, i like your palette. Hopefully youll post more.>>569072027You can either render it into a downscaled texture or you can render it into a fullsized texture and have either a pass in your texture materials that checks if a pixel position (i choose the middle) is inside the light. Or you can do the same in a deferred pipeline. I calculate the light in my pixelgrid at the end and just overlay it. Although i abuse the shit out of unitys in built pipeline within the render graph and rendering stuff onto different textures with the lightmode tags. I mostly use unities shadow maps for that and have a low poly 3d representation on a different plane.
>>569077053is it going to make it or not?

I'm sorry for writing that brush, I like your interviews, keep your chin up.
I don't like youtubers like Thomas Brush because they use successful people to reach a wider audience.It feels disingenuous. I agree there is something to learn from successful people but you also need to look at failures. You need real examples closer to home. There is nothing that can bring you confidence like seeing someone making a very similar game with low quality assets succeeding, and succeeding not from virality but just persistence.
>>5690747680
>>569080568The trouble with failure'tubers is they don't usually know why the game failed. usually it's just the look of the game. but they will go on and on about marketing and bugs etc.
>>569081045I'm not watching these things to hear what they have to say, I'm here to see the facts. They give me the numbers, I see the product.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2330110/Yerba_Buena/The German government gave this game €1,649,471. The Computerspielförderung des Bundes grant covers 45% of a productions development budget, so in total this game cost €3.6 million. 36 reviews.

I really like some of the animated stuff. Most of it is shit, of course, but you'll occasionally find a shining aryan AI gem amongst the mountains of vantablack coal slop.
>>569012135Softened up the edges instead of black outlines on everything. The small preview seems to be better. Still need to figure out how to legs but I think I am starting to grasp the concepts.
>>569081632
Is it true that putting your game on a console platform means you're beholden to their sales?On Steam I control the discounts (never) but I heard PS/NS/XB Stores just decide on discounts whenever they want
>>569082417um proportion aside. AI has some ideas.
>>569074768I have $1400/mo of basic expenses; that's $84k just for getting by (rent, bills, food, gas etc). I'd need extra money just in case I need to repair my car, get a new PC if it breaks, get a new phone if it breaks, get new clothes if I need etc. So probably $100k minimum.
>>569082934I hate that I like this. Maybe I will get gemini to spam out some inspiration.
>>569082381>missing out on doll galleries when I can use the designated tagNo, thanks.

>>569086329for me the biggest problem isn't even so much whatever valve is doing, sure their store kinda sucks from the dev side of things but it wouldn't have been such a problem if steam users weren't such insane rabid fanboys who genuinely get angry if your game isn't sold on steam.
>>569087816It's not slop, it's a fundamentally good game with ugly graphics; which is not a big deal because art is irrelevant.

I envy people who could live with parents when entering adulthood. Like what do you mean you can stack shelves in a retail job and get to keep almost entire paycheck instead of having to blow 90% of your shitty min wage paycheck on living expenses? Literally 6 years between ages 18-24 and you could stack up so much cash.
>>569093326I submitted too early: You could then spend so much time gamedevving full time and not worrying about being a burden on your parents now that you're an adult-adult, since you could use a portion of your savings to contribute rent/bills and then feed yourself for another couple of years.

any tips on using AI for texturesi've just been tossing photos into Gemini but it never manages to make them seamless
>>569099303was this made be the same guy who made those on my way to kill kanndev memes?
>>569099649gemini is fine for idea spam but it’s the wrong shape of tool for final textures. don’t ask it “make seamless” and trust the output, force the seam yourself.take your photo, crop the most boring useful square, then offset it 50% x/y so the edges meet in the middle. now use AI inpaint only on that cross seam, not the whole image. keep denoise low so it doesn’t hallucinate a new material. then tile it 3x3 and fix any obvious repeating rock/leaf/stain by inpainting those too. this gets you 80% there.for actual game materials, use AI for albedo only, then derive height/normal/roughness after, or use Substance Sampler. its Make It Tile / tiling filters exist specifically for this and beat random chatbot image output most of the time. Photoshop Pattern Preview is also good because you can see the repeat live while painting/inpainting.if you’re comfyui/sd-pilled, use a tiling workflow or latent tile node, generate at 1024+, then downscale. prompt like “flat scan, orthographic, no shadows, no perspective, uniform material, tileable texture” and negative prompt “object, horizon, lighting gradient, vignette, depth of field”. AI loves adding composition; textures need anti-composition.

Well simple, Guns and Nuns: Storming Hell has had more time discounted along with it being a steeper discount than Wasteland Bites. However reality suggests otherwise on their actual revenues. Iirc Wasteland Bites has a sale:review ratio close to approx 30:1 while Guns and Nuns: Storming Hell has a ratio closer to approx 40:1. Nonetheless I calculated both using a 40:1 ratio. And of course the gross revenue does not include steam's cut, taxes, and in the case of Wasteland Bites the publisher cut.
>>569101286Damn Chet is looking a lot healthier than the last time I saw him.
>>569103227I will surpass them...
>>569103981The grant mutation worked, and it surfaced a copy bug in the success toast
>>569103981If even one person buys my game I will be happy...

>>569104352didn't some fat black whore used to post here and have really shitty art like worse than azurdev (failed FTM) tier?I think I remember that
>>569098323Funny how you never have a game to post though.
>>569105302You're also not a women.

>>569106005Same...
HOLY FUCKhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/858710/Gravity_Circuit/Is this how you market a game?
>>569106190>>569106005hi

I just want an idea guy bf...
>>569106485hello>>569106535in that case be sure to include the falador massacre
this is the thread huh? think i'll go yesdev in the garage instead.
>>569106578idea guy bf here, nice glegle not smoking a pipe
>>569106578Sorry I'm straight
>>569106005I have one, suck it nerd.
>>569106005I have an Author wife which is nice. I don't have to think about story, the least important part of a game.
>>569103227>flop devs who wonned in the endholy fuck one armed trandit and nolgorb's sex change will never recover from thisalso your numbers are way wrong
Make bite-sized games
>>569108110anal phenotype
>>569103227I often wonder how streamers playing your games (like how tomato played wasteland bites) impacts sales numbers, especially when the streamer is actually competent
>>569108110Make games that are so overscoped you never finish
>>569103227Wow that's nothing. 600 reviews which is the top 1% of agdg gets you like 6 months of a mediocre paying job?
>>569106005Same Kita sister, same
>>569109583why does it look like dew poop/eldon buttz?
>>569108443Yeah its extremely black pilling when you consider how hard it is to reach 1k reviews (only 2% of games released on steam ever will) then you figure even if you get 1k reviews after the fatfuck's cut and taxes you're looking at like a year wages at a decent job.
>>569086684>doing a perjuryi assume that statement was videocalled in to the court from international waters
>>569108443>6 months of a mediocre paying job?In what world is $200k a year a mediocre paying job? You're lucky to get $50k
>>569110685sorry I forgot not everyone can be an AmeriCHAD
>>569110829>The Americhads cost of living is $150k a year in the area he can earn $200k and pays more income tax than the most left leaning euros>l-lmao europoor haha
>>569111032nigga you don't have AC hahahahaha
>>569093613I pay this much for art that can be used in various ways (i.e. capsule art, store page art, on social media posts)Why? Because it's tax deductible, because I earn a lot of money from my game and that puts me in the higher tax bracket. I might as well spend it on something that's useful to me.
>>569108443That's money on top of your day job, meaning 100% disposable income. Throw it in a bank account at a young enough age and that kind of money can let you retire like 5 years earlier
Does anyone here know how I can do it?
IT'S UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTEeb5Xa1Rs
>>569111032>cost of living is the same in every state/countyRetard, plus you got no A/C. Where's your game anyways bongbro?

>>569112105not even a day into pride month and uncs already talking about how much he loves cocks
Gay men were more creative when they had to hide they were gay and spoke in gay limericks like Oscar Wilde to spot each other in the wild. Gays need to be bashed again to recover the gaming industry.
>>569113754The world isn't ready for this TRVKE.
>>569113754Anon you can't be dropping truths like that during pride month
>>569112105>I'm gay! Did you know I'm gay? Look at my gay little shirt! It's very important that you know my sexuality. You ought to know that I fuck men in their buttholes and men fuck me in my butthole. It is integral to my character and embodies my entire personality. I'm GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
>>569112415>>569113504I posted it before listening to it because I knew that I was going to get some easy (You)s talking about him being gaywhat I didn't expect was Tim dropping a trvke about that patternhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTEeb5Xa1Rs&t=407s

>>569116541

>>569077053Would you recommend buying it? Like if you never played it would you feel it's worth buying for yourself?
>>569117107I'm just aiming for a pretty negligible Zelda clone, nothing of that scope. I need to start fleshing out some ideas I had though as far as slightly different gimmicks.>>569117182Thank you, I'm trying to not get too autistic about things yet. Trying.
