2027 will usher a new age of indie game development
>>577071819those are genX show some respect - they invented every game, cartoon and band that you enjoy
it's not even q4, work on your game
Made this over the past 2 days.I didn't have a game in mind and I didn't have a good concept to start with so I'm going to start something else.
Do we still like Eric Barone(AirPear, Stardew Valley, Haunted Chocolatier)?
>tfw you become a workflow chad
>>577072350it'd be nice to see him make something completely new before he early-retires
>>577072350he was a one hit wonder so no
>>577072253and one for the freaks
>>577072350/ourguy/ always and forever
>>577072350The Greatest Game Dev of all time, and its not even close.
Would you consider it a success if a million players played your game even if (for whatever reason) you didn't earn any money from it?
>>577072712only if it had a positive impact on their lives
meshy.ai lets you set polycount now and the topology is also nice. theres no excuse anymore.ok if you are a poorfag that service is useless for you...life is a paywall
>>577072712I don't believe in capitalist brainrot like "success" and "fail"
>>577072667>>The Greatest Game Dev of all time>Cloned a game
>>577072712This is the standard artcope fantasy, and will never happen.
>>577072858What if you release your game for free and that's partly why it gets a million players?
>>577072829its at the point now where I won't post anything online because AI can generate a perfect PBR 3D model from a screenshot of a charactershit is fucking nuts, I don't know if copyright will even survive
>>577072712roblox is currently dying from this model, so no
>>577072984You could pay people, and they still wouldn't want to waste their time with your garbage. Time is more valuable than money.
>>577072350the only thing i can ever think of when i see this face
>>577072559okay now do retopology, uv mapping, rigging and make her shake that fat ass
>>577073503>2024man time flies..>tfw I apparantly didnt save the "isnt there someone you forgot to ask" one about GabeN updating anons godot destroying his game
>>577074236It wasn't Juan's fault.
>>577074236>"isnt there someone you forgot to ask" one about GabeNEA when Gabe personally decided to give a g*mer months worth of playtime on their game for free.
the common pattern in this thread is sarcasm and trolling. this is very common behavior for demoralized and pessimistic people.
>>577074778if you're not demoralized and pessimistic, it's either because you're stupid or you lucked out. in either case you can't look down on us
>>577074778>he thinks it's sarcasm
>>577074760>literally remove content people paid for>mad when they want a refundgoogs, you're circling around to defending jewry
>>577072559ponder the aroma
>>577074580Base, thanks anon. And right it was Juan. Good times
>>577074760Gonna have to side with the based gamer on this one. Good argument.
>>577074896what if this is the normal state of being and courage is about trying anyways? imagine if your ancestors would have given up just because winter sucks. we are standing on the shoulder of people who tried anyways.
>here lies aggydaggy>he never made game
>>577074778Just laugh at them, anon. Whenever I see someone bring up Betz, Fygoon, Gabencunt or AI followed by a tantrum, I just have good belly laugh at the mental illness at display. Life can be a comedy if you stop taking the posts here seriously.
After spending an entire day and screaming against every single LLM in the world I finally resolved the problem, turns out you need to give functions specific names or else they won't work.I'm starting to see the Virgin Mary so I guess it's time to go to sleep for me.
>>577075101I wish my ancestors never crawled out of the oceans
deleted xitter account and I feel more productive already. what if i deleted my 4chan account? hmmm....
>>577075176i'll never understand people like you who think it's cool to act like a special needs kid around other people. it's like flexing with the fact that you are gay and suck penis. yet you are so confident about dick sucking that you think it's cool.
>>577074778first time on 4chan?
>>577075176Most people are NPCs. Not everyone is capable of free thought.
>>577074959working for free is slavery
What keeps you going?
>>577075514you should be the last person talking about working
>>577075514then I'm a slave of my own dreams...
i've realized that the real wealth is finding online friends to play games with and not to try to become rich.ofc becoming rich would cure depression, but "trying to become rich" seems to lead people down a path of destruction where they never go anywhere while sacrificing everything for it.
>>577075638and who are the majority of slaveholders again?
>>577075485>Horace Walpole
30% cut from every sale is too much...
>>577075806wikipedia is a mental illness
>>577075553I like to imagine myself as the head scientist of the Atomverein and my game as the german nuclear bomb project.Extremely long times, delays every day, nearly nothing works, very few if no resources and a constant hatred for my instrumentations; but everyday I achieve something, hopefully before the allies kick at my door.
>>577075553My fleeting health as I am reminded every day of my mortality. I can sense it, a great curse will fall upon me soon. I need to make my mark before that can happen.
>>577073503Kind of funny the "millionaire dev". When you're a millionaire and you do something, you're just playing around with it (since money isn’t a real issue). In short, a millionaire playing at being a dev because he couldn't find anything better to do.
>>577076557It's very easy to go from millionaire to broke. I wouldn't feel safe without at least $5M set aside in investments
>>577076557You think this is some kind of game?
>>577075553my morning coffee
>>577075553gooning mostly.oh did you mean game dev or being alive?
>>577076905ConcernedApe has a networth of 100 million +
>>577076905For me, it's 3 million: 1 million in real estate, 1 million in investments, and 1 million in gold/silver. If you're single (and stay that way) and have that, you're set for life.
>>577078109I was replying to >>577076557 who said>when you're a millionaireOfc concerned ape isn't going to run out of money unless he deliberately tries to
>"yeah I need at LEAST 10 million dollars to feel safe for like 5 years">meanwhile my parents lived on minimum wage for 20 years
>>577075553that i end up getting rich off this gamedev jobby
i wonder if i'll ever experience how it feels to drive a car, right now i couldn't even afford the fuel lol. and a driver license also costs 3k+.what a time to be alive. we have all those nice things, yet i can't afford any of them.
wtf do u mean a DL costs 3k+ I got mine this summer and it was like 5 lessons for 120 ea and the test was 90 the submission fee was 12 or something at the DMVunless ur one of those euroids where you need to take 100 hours of road lessons mandatory night driving etc lmao sounds so awful gamedev
It is wrong to vibecode?
>>577079787His knife obsession is very odd in hindsight...
>>577075176We really need a four horsemen of the Apocalypse image for these guys. That way they're known as people who are blacklisted and should not be interacted with
I don't know what to work on today...
>he paid a heckin water drinking data center $200 for $200,000 worth of productivitypsh, like, fuck you, idiot. the water pump and the printing press only make SLOP!
AND THE CAMERA IS DONE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!PROGRESS IS BEING DONE, STATS ARE INCREASING AND THE GAME IS TAKING SHAPE.Just think about it, I'm progressing so much that I had to modify the test zone in order to accomodate the new development needs.TOMORROW WILL BE A NEW DAY OF PROGRESS.
>>577081797you can sit with me becky...
back to working on my little island
>>577081797Practice 3D animation if you're not gonna work on your game today.
>>577081797a new level
>>57708287340yo uncs still waste time with stupid shit like that?
this but with agdg burger
Made some physics doodads.>>577072253>>577072559Anons. Do you take issue with the leg/torso ratio in modern goonshit? Especially Korean and Chinese designs. Eve from Stellar Blade looks so goofy to me that it's an actual turnoff. Massive fuckoff stilt legs to the point of all animations looking awkward.
>>577083119Man, this post is really fucking retarded on multiple levels. For starters long legs have been a thing in shoujo for like fifty years. Also why are you inquiring some dude who appears to have started 3d modelling thirty minutes ago like he's some authority on the matter.
gooner proportions are cringe though.stellar blade and gooks create beautiful women to look at, first, and then make them sexy, which is something the west needs to learn
>>577083119i take issue with the fact that you seriously think the opinions of maladjusted autists mattergo make artist friends and ask for their opinionit wont matter though because normalcattle will consume any gooner slop that looks vaguely female so it's useless to obsess over it
I can't help but say the word "SOVL" whenever I look at my game.
>>577075553Nothing
>>577081797Any progress is good progress, no matter how small.
>>577083841brown and obese? you got it sir, three coming right up
>>577083563>why are you inquiring some dude who appears to have started 3d modelling thirty>Anons Do you take issue with the leg/torso ratio in modern goonshit?Shoujo is different because it's targeted to women, but I dislike that look too. Same with barbies which are also ancient. >>577084017It was just something that came to mind when I saw anon's stocky toon. I wasn't trying to do market research.
my video game will have an ai generated obese black woman in her 40s shouting "fuck fascism" to btfo cris-chud.
I have a porn sim I've made but man learning to draw porn is tough.I'm a NEET so I have the time but boy does art require discipline and effort.
>>577087574Are you completely oblivious to the advancements AI has made? I can't tell if posts like these are memeing or not>ohhhh woeee is mee this is sooo much work if only there was some way to speed it up but alasis this a bit you guys do?
I'm currently building up my skills to make an action adventure game. here's what I think I need to verify>technical skillmy ability to code and technical limitations>artistic skillcreating the assets, good animations, assembling a workflow for a full game(time efficiency)>testing appealsmall scale production you can test the reaction to online. A small area, art. gameplay optional.>public prototypeprobably comes later, but requires all prior conditions.Anything else?It takes long because I have to improve in art.
>>577087837I am autistic about that kinda stuff so I dont want to use AI since its not really "my" work. I have tried using SDXL with Loras but it feels so soul draining after awhile. Its like lottery with the pics AI shits out.Since I am a NEET there is no real need for me to succeed so I have developed a delusion of becoming a porn artist. It might be the first time in my life I have really tried to be good at anything.
Elf Gaming
All Elves should be small and flat and barefoot
>>577079656Real answer: No but you should understand the code that's being made. Eventually the AI will run into a problem it can't solve, and if you don't have the technical know how to at least help it figure it out, you'll be fucked. Don't let the AI make you complacent. It's a tool, not your servant. You still need to bear much of the mental load if you're going to make a good video game.
BRAVO ANON
>>577088646>Eventually the AI will run into a problem it can't solveThis is just cope and wishful thinking.
>>577083119Your far distance parallax layers move way too quickly. Makes them seem small and a lot closer.
>>577088646Completely untrue and obsolete thinking. It is August of 2026. You need not understand the code whatsoever, one or two "You're a cynical senior engineer, eviscerate this code" prompts are perfectly fine
>>577088724Would plap
>>577088827>>577088908As someone who ran into this issue fairly recently with Claude, I can assure you it's still a real thing. It will depend on what you're trying to do. I was trying to build something off of a poorly documented set of systems in an engine, and Claude was misunderstanding how things were supposed to work, sending us on a wild goose chase in the wrong direction. I had to do a lot of manual testing to figure out where Claude's knowledge gaps were, and this was after I also manually fed Claude the documentation. The AI got stuck in a loop, wanting to try the same tests over and over again, and I had to break it out of that mindset and find the solutions we needed. The AI is powerful. It's not perfect.
>>577089487It was 100% user error on your part. Didn't even bother reading your post.
>>577088832True. It's adjusted a bit better on actual levels, but the sprites themselves have issues. I need to do the nth art pass at some point.
working on my game idea rn (i cant code)
The Odyssey with black Helen of Troy and Elliot Page has grossed over $1 billion. Clearly woke is back. Are you going to be adding fat LGBT transwomen of color to your game?

>>577088070>building up my skillshuge nodev trap that I was stuck in for years.Just start making the game you want to NOW.You will never feel like you have the necessary skills and will keep using that as an excuse to "productively" procrastinate by grinding some skill or watching a tutorial, but it's just procrastination and not productive at all.Just jump in and start figuring things as you go. It's the only way anyone's ever done anything.

>>577094295PackedScenes are very fast. A script is more flexible, but much slower.
>>577076557>yeah this guy who is the most successful indie dev in history, he's just pretending to be a dev, he's basically a poser because [strained logic]This is the most petty, jealous, seething post I've seen on this board in months. For you though, it's just another Monday.
>>577088646>You still need to bear much of the mental load if you're going to make a good video game.Why do you think they crashed out trying to make a prototype? They couldn't handle even that much mental load. Vibe "coding" is a fake hobby for wannabe devs. If you don't believe it, check out the vibecoding general in /g/. They do literally nothing except gossip about industry news and blogposting about whatever they are tinkering with in the newest models. That and crying about their tokens being sucked up by the biggest scam industry in history. You're gonna be left behind though if you don't join them in this purgatory. Two more weeks (years)!
>>577102076There's nothing anyone could post that would change your mind.
>>577102492A single progress post from a vibecoder would be enough to change my mind at this point. I've been waiting over 2 years for a single vibecoder to make a game here. It will never happen. In the meantime the general was bludgeoned to death by a vibe"coder" spamming it for a full year. That was a perfect illustration of how twisted this contingency is. agdg has never died. There has always been multiple threads everyday for almost 15 years. The AI spammer killed it to the point that each thread dragged out for 3-4 days.
>>577102492the complete lack of meaningful things is the main issue that can't be tackled.We were promised every job was over and thoroughly replaced, and anyone can make anything. Fast forward, and the tech is only mildly useful for very domain-specific and menial applications like everyone who isn't a retarded figured.
>>577102892There's that one guy making the anime yahtzee thing.
>start practicing Godot from complete bitch basics about a week or two ago>switch between following Christian Koch's videos and fiddling around with my sandbox project where I try implementing random mechanics and practicing reading data>use mainly globals, dictionaries and enums to keep track of shit>hear about this thing called "resources", but pay them no heed since they're apparently doing a similar thing to what I'm already using>finally decide to learn what they are and how they work>mfwThe wonder the disciples experienced meeting the risen Jesus is nothing compared to the awe I'm feeling right now from having my eyes opened. I truly do have the power of god and anime on my side now.
>>577102892>>577102984The vibecoders are getting mangled in /g/. That board is exhausted with them and has realized the easiest way to defuse them is to ask them to show something they made. It's an army of literal paid shills talking about how cool it is to spend money on tokens and gullible kids with learning disabilities who really want their to be a shortcut around learning to program. They have all the means available to slop up anything in their imagination and they make nothing because creative people are not dependent on a slop generation machine or chatbot.
The more I work on this game, the more it feels like it's going to take longer to finish. This is all despite the fact I'm seemingly making good progress. Why, why do I feel this way? Is it because I have yet to take the plunge to 3D? A lot of the code is easily adjusted to work with 3D, yet for some reason it feels like I'm making a mistake that will increase dev time. Yet I don't believe my success will be anywhere near as good if I stay in 2D. The game just works better in 3D.
>>577103436Because you keep finding new details to curate and new things to do in the back every time you complete something
>>577098592now draw real people
>>577098402>v3>shilling AI>has a subredditNONONONONO HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>577104443>shilling AIThat was a while ago. They thought AI was for sure the next big cool thing on the internet. They had no way of knowing it would literally kill agdg and be the most hated thing in human history lmao
>>577103436It sounds like you've finally engaged for long enough with this jobby to start the descent down the mountain.
>>577075553Obsession. My two major hobbies (game dev and my 7 year running TTRPG campaign) are the only things I think about when I have free time. I do not get burnt out. I do not get upset. Both are challenging in their own ways and I enjoy them so fucking much.
Anyone release a demo on steam recently? How is it going?
>>577071819thread was made by a grandpa zoomer that doesn't realize gen alpha are the young ones now
>>577108978it was made by a retarded spic who can't let his dead thread go
>>577109576The second the bant thread goes, you will resume spamming the thread to death because you can't make a videogame with AI. Keep crying about it though, it's highly amusing.
>>577110018>my dead thread is the bastion against a spammer that gave up a month agoi'm so tired of brownoids
Welp, there's only a couple of days left so I really need to ramp up development.
>>577110198Nobody asked.
>>577110307sending you good vibes sakuraCHAD/kannaCHAD
>>577109576>>577110198I lurk the vibe code general to laugh at you sloppers. I don't show up and pretend to be one of you though. You showed up here pretending to be a gamedev and then crashed out because you can't actually make a game. Somehow this is our fault and we must be punished.
>>577110741>crashed outsuch a cringe fucking zoomer term
>>577111430Is it also brown and trans?
>>577103684Each task expands to subtasks so that the main task can truly completed. So yeah basically kinda like what you said.>>577105325Idk man, it feels more so like seeing all the tiny things I need to do that are frightening me. Seeing so much makes me question if I can even do it.
>>577111556brown people learn english through memes while trans people are extremely spiteful, both are terminally onlineso yeah probably
>Write up my todo list for the day, being nice and descriptive for each individual task>realize this is the equivalent of what sloppers imagine they can do with AI promptsExcept I actually do the thing, because I can. Feels good. And when I write my descriptive todos I am already visualizing exactly how to do each thing because I know how to do it. It's going to get done in one shot, because I am a real dev and I have actual skills and built the entire game and all systems myself.Being a real videogame developer is wonderful.
>>577112402It's really nice to just think of a thing, and then build it, and then it exists... I'm a technowizard!
>>577112229post hand jamal
>>577112896Exactly. Nothing was funnier than watching slops hype themself up for years that "now anyone can make a game"... and then make no games. Not everyone can do this. It's not easy. That's what makes us true CHADdevs.
>>577113416sometimes I partake in dark magic. >think of a thing but it's above my paygrade>someone probably has figured this out before>to stackoverflow!>a solution!>look what I made.
Not only is gamedev not easy, it's the most difficult software development, and I say this having worked on numerous enterprise apps. If you're making a game you have to make an application with hundreds of features, it has to have great design, be intuitive or have good tutorials, it has to run on as many systems as possible, you're making a PRODUCT that is extremely complex. Like Steve Jobs said in "Jobs">it's gotta run like an APPLIANCE. As dependable as your toaster, your dishwasher or drying machine.And you have to pull off technical feats that sometimes might have been called impossible. You make it happen. That's what engineers do.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4jnPpxn1_k
Can't wait to wear a hockey jersey with my games logo on it.
>>577111892>Seeing so much makes me question if I can even do it.Correct. That is the scenery in the Valley of Despair.
>open my game>instantly feel good about it, it looks great, gonna be a good work day>thought pops into my head "I love my game"This is what it's all about.
>>577114434who still uses so
>>577111892I recommend Microsoft's To Do app. Or find something equivalent. You don't look at the giant list of tasks, you grab a few and assign them to your day. Your daily tasks are all you look at then. You have to put blinders on yourself so you only look forward. Limit reviewing the entire project to once a week or something, and then you can determine to remove some of your features or lighten the work load an make sure you aren't spiraling into an infinite project.
>>577112402I just have a todo list that is a pile that gets bigger and bigger and bigger and sometimes I go back and clean it upbut bugs and shit get solved the moment they're found
>>577116202i thought everyone did that yea that's all i do. throw a fucking new line on the list so i don't forget and i comb through the list as i go, thing here and there depending on my energy levels and how much time i have to invest i'll pick one or a couple
>>577071819Man it's really fucking hard to make a character facing a different direction while still having her look like the same character.
>>577096945It's next to impossible to get non technical advice here without being assumed to be a nodev.Games have those issues of>ugly not selling>tech debt(rigs, codebase)I can make a game that won't sell and be kinda bad. I want to create art up to a standard instead.

I am a temporarily embarrassed multimillionaire gamedev.
>>577121767>now AI is going to replace all that No it isn't. The UE tech is persistent and congruent and cheaper to work with long term than just generating slop and cherry picking the best 5 seconds. It's also interactive, also known as a videogame, something you sloppers continue to be unable to make.https://youtu.be/Nthv4xF_zHU&t=337You're crazy if you think generated slop can compare with this.
>>577121767Unreal is incredibly fucking slow for the age of AI development. So much fucking compiling and loading and reloading and auuuuugh
>>577121984now post your game.
>>577115178>That is the scenery in the Valley of Despair.So it seems, so it seems.
>>577121767It tickles me seeing all these software companies - valve included - invest in AI.

Adobe going all in on AI? Sure and now I can use Claude to make my own photoshop lol>>577122273Directors are going all in on AI. So many notable directors, George Lucas even, are embracing it.

>>577122462>Directors are going all in on AI.Weird how that addresses none of the points raised. Just opening canned slogans and slopping them into your posts huh
>>577122462>no one has money because all the jobs are goneThis isn't happening. It's not going to happen. It's been how many years of this. The mind virus that is AI hype is seemingly terminal for those who have contracted it. We need a way to quarantine you.
>>577122362*AHEM*
>>577122338UE6 will be next level for slopping. Sloppers still won't make a game with it though. Won't. Can't.
>>577122582He didn't address the first post's point thoughever. It wasn't about the game engine tools. Tim did invest mountains into making Unreal 5 a VFX tool to the detriment of the game engine features and that aspect of the engine - all of the tooling they built for the VFX industry is going to be replaced with AI and we know that because more and more notable directors are openly embracing AI.>>577122747The US has had an entire year of job losses during a bull market lol
>>577122747curious to see if any of the aitards actually attempt to refute you here with stats or something concrete
>>577122914>all of the tooling they built for the VFX industry is going to be replaced with AI No, it's actually already in UE6. >and we know that because more and more notable directors are openly embracing AIYour bullshitting isn't convincing sorry. I know you think it is.

A whole generation of people using ChatGPT to cheat their way through school. Indie gamedev is going to be desperate for talent once we start retiring. Being able to learn how to do something isn't optional in gamedev.
wtf is this bullshit man I just wanted to make some grass. Can't even put quads in a multimesh without something fucking up
>>577125224Select all and recalculate normals from the outside in.
>>577125224Use https://github.com/IcterusGames/SimpleGrassTextured
>>577125326Like in Blender? I just used the quad mesh from Godot as a sanity test for the "grass" blades. I am planning to make better grass in Blender, can skip to that ig. I can also manually set the normals in a shader and see if that helps... tomorrow>>577125443But I wanted to do it myself ;n;
>>577126262Yeh you might want to just export a quad (plane) from Blender and import that. And if it still has weird normals, you select it in Blender and recalculate the normals then export and reimport.
>>577125443When you remember you forgot to lock the door.
>>577126262>>577126493To be clear, the issue is likely the quad on which you set those blades of grass. One side has a different normal tangent than the other so it appears split down the middle. Your grass shader is orienting itself with that. So you want to put that shader on a quad that has uniform normals on one side all facing same direction, which you might want to export from Blender. With Godot, I usually always use my own quads, columns, etc because this issue is annoying.
>>577127231>One side has a different normal tangent than the otherOne *HALF I meanGotta be precise with geometry language
>>577127231Ty for all the advice, a little fried right now, need to let it percolate. I didn't even set a shader yet, it's just green quads instanced via a multimesh on a plane. :( Wonder if I should put the grass on rotated quadmesh instead of a plane, I recall those being fucky
>thread fully dies whenever night time arrives in AmericaI always knew we were the best and only game developers.
>>577083119As a gamer I take issue with games that are entirely goonbait with nothing else going for them like gacha trash and well I guess Stellar Blade goes in that category as well. It's not a problem when it's like Lineage 2 or similar. Honestly if I were more artistically leaning I'd probably be making goonbait games myself because they sell.
>>577127679NTA, but if you're using StandardMaterial3D, you can turn just Back Lighting on. If you're using a shader, you can just set>render_mode cull_disabled, keep_backface_normals;
>>577091009normies do what marketing tells them to domarketing told them to go watch odyssey
>>577128213Yeah had that set already.>>577127231Here's what it looks like using a flat mesh from blender, with default normals, instanced on a quadmesh, same. I should come back to this fresh I thinkFunny thing is, this doesn't affect meshes like cubes or cylinders as far as I can tell, just flat planes that I would use for vegetation look like this
Bonus, grass proximity shader WIP in progress. Placeholder meshes. Tried to do something about the normals in the shader, looks even worse, so imagine this but with not-fucked-up normals

>>577102076>They do literally nothing except gossip about industry news and blogposting about whatever they are tinkering with in the newest models. That and crying about their tokens being sucked up by the biggest scam industry in history.not that different from this thread desu
>>577131662Sounds like a cris game.
>>577113416It's even funnier because they probably could do it with the help of AI if they tried. But they're such set in their nodev ways that they will never make anything. Making games is a fantasy they relive in their head because they're so terminally afraid of failure that they will never risk it.
>>577131890There's more dev here in the past 20 posts than there are in 20 threads of the vibecoder general.
>>577132316i never come to this thread but every time i do you faggots are bleeding out your vaginas about this ungooglable mystery nigga
>>577132651Just a thread regular, talks about >I'm pretty happy with how this looks chudsand talking about workflows to make his CHICUELAS game I wish I remembered his youtube channel name maybe someone has it.
For me? It's gotta be BrannoThe one for whomI Stanno
>>577074778It’s more about the frustration of not being able to achieve what they want with the project and life , and using that as a bait. filling the thread with projections all over the place. You can check month after month, and everything would remain the same.
>>577088827>>577088908>>577089587Literal plugging of the ears and la la la . Totally false sentiments that suggest you've never even used AI. Just blatant cult member brainwashed behavior, has nothing to do with gamedev or technology even, this is religious zealotry.Worst of allyou have no game.
Am I expected to reply to every question in my steam forum? someone just asked what country I am from...
>>577131849>I am going to copyright strike someone who exposes my game to 1.2 million peoplelolNo you're not. And they know it.
>>577088908>
so tired of all indie devs trying to be those clever marketing guys trying to sell me something they think will go viral, feeling like they are super-intelligent for hacking the market.
>>577136818Sir Claude can handle making my 1 hour long incremental game just fine. (you) have no idea what you are talking about
>>577136818They know it's not true anyway, they just furiously battle against the twinge of guilt they feel when they know it's all true and they're guilty of First Degree Slopping. They know it's why all their projects failed (because they refuse to learn the basics of what they need the AI to do) but refuse to take any responsibility for it, but also refuse to blame the AI, so they will just attack anyone who suggests that you do in fact need to know how to program to make things with AI.Sloppers like that are the laziest more arrogant pieces of garbo the internet has ever seen. They are a new breed of clown. Angry clowns.
>>577136967Take it up with valve. Its steam's pigshit algorithm that forces devs to be clowns to get any invisibility.
If this post ends with even number I make a game and ignore everything else, if odd I don't even try
>>577136967You losted bigly, dreamgamedev.Low quality slop is the way of the future.
>>577137091Welcome aboard
>>577136471No. Fuck that. Replying too much creates an expectation that you will actually reply to everyone.Only reply to issues or well constructed posts.
>>577136471Never answer personal questions. Even revealing just your country opens up bad faith or even legal venues to fuck you over. It doesn't matter if they'll find your country if they look hard enough, you want to decrease the likelihood of anyone messing with you to zero.
>>577137063The algorithm is not designed to give you a free ride for trend hopping so it doesn't even work the way you're implying. You don't have to game the algorithm to get noticed on Steam. They tell you upfront, market your game and show it to people. If you refuse to engage with capitalism in a free market, you're probably going to fail.
>>577136968>Sir Claude can handle making my 1 hour long incremental game just fine.Theoretically. In reality you have no game.
>>577137348zukjeet
>>577137626^literal jeet

Calling it low effort, implying it's just aimlessly walking around doing nothing. Very seethe.
>>5771371371 is an odd number
>>577071819what if punch monkey dev is the nortubel spammer whos jealous he didnt get gooners remorse
>seethes about current indie game>calls gamers goy cattle for enjoying thingSucceeding where someone like this fails is a healthy motivator. Granted, it isn't difficult to be better than a dumpster muppet.
>>577132353>they probably could do it with the help of AI if they triedGot some bad news for you anon.
>>577139562Miserable people love to drag everyone else in their misery, they have to insult and start conflicts with people who are enjoying their life because they have to be miserable just like them.Just ignore them, seriously, don't even bother trying to have conversation with them: at the end of the day they are just people with nothing better to do the whole day, discussing with them will only feed their unemployment.
Having 0 games and having 1 game on Steam released over 6 months ago with fewer than 200 copies sold are the same thing btw
If something is popular and what you do is not it only works in your favor as a noname. It is a lot easier to get noticed in a niche unpopular community than in a mainstream one and it is less competition, so you should be grateful that friendslop and other shit is currently top charts
>>577140390they're not
>>577139157Exactly
Fat camp meal, no sweets or bananas for dessert. It really takes what little fun there is out of life.80 days left, I owe 2200 minutes of work. I'm feeling a bit optimistic because my to-do list has almost halved in the past month. It's probably because I've been clearing easy things and fixing bugs but it's nice to see it almost fit on the screen without scrolling. Today I'll be doing some non-critical art and fix a few bugs.
don't reply the baits! believe in you and your game!
Some game devs seethe when a low effort POS succeeds. I celebrate.Gamers deserve N O T H I N G.Gamers begged for the google play store and that's what they're going to get. I love all the devs who make money shitting in gamers' mouths.
>>577140390This. Having $10,000 and having $0 is the same thing.
I don't want to add achievements to my gameI don't want to add achievements to my game!!!REEEEEEEEEI disagree with achievements on a fundamental level!They're GAY! They're RETARDED! They're POINTLESS!In fact, playing video games is a WASTE OF TIME!You should not feel like you achieved anything after playing a game, because you only achieved wasting a few hours doing FUCK ALL!
>>577140897>Some game devs seethe when a low effort POS succeedsNo they don't lolCreative people don't sit around seething their life away. They're too busy for that.>Gamers deserve N O T H I N GGood thing that's what you have to offer them then huh.
Why would I want to give someone a false sense of achievement by playing a video game?That's actually evil and demonic
>>577140786>I owe 2200 minutes of workWhy does this number keep growing?
>>577141231I only started making money with games when I stopped caring. Genuinely. I lie and oversell, I pirate assets and rip off popular roblox games. I have made enough to quit my job. Gamers are dumb animals. Game development must be the only job where its easier to make money if you don't try at all than if you do.
>>577140786> no sweets or bananas for dessert. It really takes what little fun there is out of life.Go without any sugar for a couple days then drink a flavored 0 calorie seltzer. It tastes amazing. At least the first half. It's usually flat and metallic tasting by the end.
>>577141413>I lieTo yourself.
>>577141052If you spent $10,000 on your game, yes.
>>577140865>believe in you and your game!No problem.>don't reply the baits! That, I cannot do.
My game will cost 1 billion dollars that way I only have to sell one copy to make it (:dont steal this idea pls
Waiting for... exports?SGFXW smashes the competition. This beta is awesome. I'm making all kinds of neat things. What kind of freaky shit are you all up to tonight?
Just make an achievement that is unwinnable, tell the player they have to paypal you money in a silent auction to win it. Then get banned from steam and seethe about valve for 10 years.
>>577141317Because sometimes I don't do my full 5-hour quota so I accrue debt that I'm never going to repay. I've been counting since December 1st last year.>>577141495A fellow sufferer? I'll try, but I also have a peach or an apple here and there as well as an artificially sweetened protein drink when I'm too tired to make a proper meal.
>>577141413I kinda agree with you about: not caring = making moneythere people making money right now spamming really shit AI slops without shame. I just can't do the same thing. I'd literally have to turn off my brain to do the same thing.
>>577138938>you can see it in the trailerI can tell you've only watched the trailer lol.
My game is boring. I don't know why anyone would ever play it.
>>577142615thought the same about balatro
I had a playtester sail through my game and call it easyNaturally, I am working on increasing the difficulty nowThe thing is, I also had a couple other playtesters who sucked dicks at the game and it was too hardWhere do you find the balance?I want to challenge hardcore gamers, so I guess casuals getting wrecked in playtests should be the desired outcome, but if a hardcore gamer can beat it first try then it is far too easy.
>>577138938>minimum: 12GB RAMI really hope you guys don't do that.
>>577142815Either have selectable difficulty levels or use the beginning of the game as a benchmark for difficulty. There's more options depending on the game, like having the player pace themselves by choosing what goals they achieve in the game. Some parts of the game can be challenging but optional.
>>577142965vibecoded sloppa
>>577142965Why, because they'll earn a life changing amount of money?
This shit pisses me offWho the fuck is this nigga and why does anyone give a shit about his opinionAre gamers really cattle that can be influenced this easily?>WELL IF INDIE GAME PHILLIP LIKES IT I LIKES ITWHO THE FUCK IS THIS NIGGALITERALLY WHOOO
>>577143572but it's not about getting lucky
Having art skills is like a superpower
>>577143572There are too many indie games. Curators are necessary. Here is his interview with TBRUSHhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TARqBzihxAU
>>57714310612gb ram minimum is overkill. Besides, it’s a sign of poor programming or heavy AI usage. They could sell x2/x3 more copies with a 4gb ram minimum.
>>577143572He's got 23,000 wishlists on Steam in a single day while you are spending your entire time here on 4chan (the internet's crazy asylum) screaming at the walls.I think you should learn something from him instead of vomiting vitriol, he's achieving something, you are not.
>>577143737how is it a superpowert. artfag
>>577142965>>577143889They set the minimum to whatever the host would need to host a 10 player game or whatever the max is, while also getting decent performance in that massive terrain. They don't want to cut any corners and are willing to price out poverty gamers. It's a AA game. Their publisher launched Firewatch and Untitled Duck Game.
>>577143572>WHO THE FUCK IS THIS NIGGAI like that that theres some former opiate addict head in Ohio or Indiana I can pay off for social media promotion now. It's better than Gamergate.
>>577143572>Are gamers really cattle that can be influenced this easily?
>>577143789Okay, but realistically, are people buying these games that Indie Game Joe is telling them to wishlist? I'm trying to understand the mentality behind this shit.>>577144025So I should be trying to suck Indie Game Bill's dick to get a bit of wishie action?
You're going to STOP seething, and you're going to stop RIGHT NOW! Got it?
>>577143572It reminded me of that shop management game. The dev said in a video that the game only succeeded basically because the "top 3 gods" of YouTube played it. I didn't even know who those three were until I saw that video. It’s not about making a good game anymore; it’s just about making an okay game and praying a big YouTuber plays and promotes it.
>>577144040Correction. Good art is a superpower
>>577144285it really isnt
>hey you should show your game to this account, they promote indie games>OH SO I HAVE TO SUCK THEIR PENIS NOW!?lmao NGMIand gay
>>577144197>it’s just about making an okay gameSounds great. I'm not trying to make a masterpiece.That's a lie, yes I am
>>577144387Careful, anon >>577144285 is trying to get you to post your art and then demoralize you with multiple posts shitting on it and possibly doxx you too
>>577144180>are people buying these games that Indie Game Joe is telling them to wishlist?Yes. It makes certain people feel like they’re part of something big. much like the "trend chasers". they only play whatever is the flavor of the month. Again, that makes them feel important or cool.
>walk into grocery store>see a sign that advertises some Rotisserie Chicken, which is just the kind of thing you are hungry for >buy the chicken and enjoy itCATTLE
>>577145023>going to the theater to watch the newest movie huh?>yeah I bet you think you're real cool, you think you're part of something, heard about it on the telly did ya? *spits on them*Yeah that's right. Put those cattle in their place.
My marketing strategy is to just release the game into the void and what happens happensAnd that's how it becomes a gem to be uncovered
>>577143572
>>577138938>>577142965forget the RAM, what the FUCK is it doing to my 5070?How can you mess up this fucking bad???
Being a game dev has to be the most cucked position you guys put yourself in.
>>577146289nah that was working retail in a grocery store
>>577146440So your only 2 prospects are either dealing with assholes in person or dealing with assholes online (gamers).Yeah, that explains a lot.
>>577146515NTA but working in a grocery store is infinitely better. The median shelf stocker out earns the median gamedev by 3x.
tynancunt said his game is a 'story generator' and by story he meant funny youtube titles that bring millions of views
>>577146289Good thing you'll never know what it's like to be a game developer then huh
>>577083119>Do you take issue with the leg/torso ratio in modern goonshit?Right now we live in Ass times (as opposed to the Boob times of the 2000's and early 2010's), so it's to be expected that asses everywhere are augmented to look unnaturally large and not just in vidya, but think about how exaggerated boobs were in the 2000's (low cut tops everywhere, many famous people would get awful botch jobs that made theirs look like boulders, etc.). I don't take issue with it because I recognize it as being mainstream and therefore sloppified like everything else that is mainstream.

>>577147427>imagine optimizing something so that nobody makes income anymoreAnd it's being optimized by the very people it's supplanting. It's like horses inventing cars
>>577144874
85% of the angst you guys have will go away when you make a cool game. A game that you know people already like and want to play. It changes everything. Making a random project that you hope will succeed is incomparable. You have some kind of belief that you're competing for attention and will need to get lucky or something. I'm familiar with that. Now that I'm making a cool game, none of that happens.

>>577150243I don't worry about that kind of thing, my game is cool and pre approved by the general public. That's just one of the perks of marketing, you can see the gold before you even mine it. Worrying about what happens with other games becomes irrelevant then.

>>577071819Still trying to do the Nortubel/Hirdrih art thing and working on Tsoovukot assets but felt like showing this civilization I added to Herrko's setting.Cyclops with weird eyes, tall heads and "ring ears".Their clothes are inspired by Peruvian clothing.The name Nayrwia (Which is the name of their race) is a mix of Nayra and Nawi, from from Aymara and Quechua languages, both meaning "eye".

>>577152183I watched the video and the 4th game, eternally departed, and it somehow had an actual team working on it? It's not a solodev project? Maybe I'm just being a negative nancy but it looks like dogshit.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4500140/Eternally_Departed/Also the min ram required is 12 gigs according to the steam page. what the fuck?
>>577140207h-hayai!
>>577153394I'm on that part too, because Bitemegames made anomaly slop and the concept amuses me, I had never really heard of them before. Walking simulators where something is just strange sometimes and that's it.
>>577153661It started with a game called "Exit 8", which became very popular with streamers.I want to say that it's a very weak, gimmicky format that stops being fun after you've played it once, but people somehow keep buying them.
I'm a temporarily embarrassed game developer

>>577155620If you sit down at a poker table and bet blindly without looking at the cards on the table, how your opponents are playing, or even your own cards, it does all come down to pure luck (with still a non-zero chance of winning).

>>577071819What are the use cases of process functions compared to Physics_process? Currently I'm using mostly the latter since I want to avoid japanese programming shenanigans with fps affecting random unrelated stuff
>>577158864You can do ANYTHING
>>577159257Anything to do with the graphics (such as the camera moving) goes into the graphical frame while anything to do with the gameplay goes into the physics fixed frame.
>>577158506color theory
>>577159257If it's not part of a physics operation, like launching your player in certain directions, everything that is meant to be done per-frame should just go in the standard process function.

>>577157363Poor analogy. A single hand of poker is mostly down to luck. But poker players play 20-30 hands of poker per hour so that's where the luck evens out.

>>577158545Yeah its like I have money to hire an artists and I can't find one. I've put out ads and scoured twitter and art station for one but no dice. There are great artists who are making assets in that style I'm going for to sell in packs or release via patreon but they just don't do commissions (and I've asked) so you know.I don't use or like AI but I don't like the >Just hire an artist broshitIts just not always realistic.

Having the AI disclosure tag reduces your sales by 70%.It seems you can make your games using AI but you can't expect normies to buy it.
>>577160418Or you can make your game using AI but don't not disclose it
>>577160418what forces the AI disclosure tag anyway? if you're not straight up vibe coding how are they gonna know?
>>577160418>No punishment for not tagging>Valve doesn't disclose Deadlock's AI useNo one with an IQ above 90 is using that shit. That tag is for retards.
>>577160418>Having the AI disclosure tag reduces your sales by 70%.no proof btw
does steam care if you use AI to help program your game? I have done all my own art and sound.
>>577161109They literally only ever enforce the disclosure if your game has a live llm
>>577161109>Use Google to look up how to do programming thing>Google's AI generated result shows up first>You read it>Now you must give AI disclosure on SteamYou should have looked away
people will literally lie, forge and cheat job interviews, and this nigga out here trying to figure out if valve has a magic detector to see if someone asked gemini how to write a shader

>>577161308no I things like codex app that does some programming for you
>>577160602>if you're not straight up vibe coding how are they gonna know?Prob from the slop stench
>>577161736Yes anon, you must disclose AI use or Valve will report you to the FBI for fraud. It's happened a few times, look it up.

You can find a hobby you enjoy, you know. One where worrying about what other people are buying at the hobby store doesn't upset you.
>>577163425>now remember, disclosure is only needed for player-facing generated work
>>577163619Look at that text at the bottom

>>577164340indicative of the dogshit industries, not the thread
>>577164340This place attracts some of the most stunted manchildren the internet has to offer. They were losers and outcasts growing up and were thus excluded from many of the typical group activities where you can expect children to learn important social skills like good sportsmanship.
>>577164646you can learn good sportsmanship from videogames though.
>>577164340stagnation (developers) + hypocrisy (game industry) = your post
big walk is impossible to decompile btw they made it impossible to find their vibe coding tracks
>>577164689It's not really the same. You can always queue up into another lobby until you get banned. Any feedback with real consequences in the video game world comes from authority figures rather than from peers, whereas IRL, it's your peers who will shun you and perhaps even slam your face into the pavement for being such an insufferable faggot.
IRL (organized) sports taught me mob behavior before i could fully grasp the issue, and i never wanted anything to do with them again.
>>577164340>aischizo finally seems to fuck off>everyone still argues about AIWhy cant we all just get along? Slop if you want to slop, purecode if you want to purecode
>>577165457sorry. I made the mistake of replying to Cris.
that's because sports are for barbarians.
>>577164340Might as well get used to it thin skinned pussy. Idiots can barely handle AI code, wait till they finally catch on to how good it is at art. Then you will see some real meltdowns.
>>577160418The worst part about using AI is that both your game (which used like 20~30% AI) and someone else's game (which used 80~100%) will be labeled the same way: lazy slop trash. Just because the tag-AI. There is no distinction made regarding the level of AI usage, which is completely unfair in my opinion,
>>577166570Yeah and I really hate that having a live LOCAL llm inside your game gets the same label. Gamers used to be excited at the prospect of real AI controlling the npcs in a game but now when that's FINALLY viable to do any game that does it is thrown in the gutter alongside ranjeet's 3js incremental that was made in ten minutes.
>>577160418Just don't disclose it?
>>577167358>real AI controlling the npcsthey still are, and are still waiting for it.
>>577163367Ehh seems like fake news to scare you into disclosing
what are the consequences of not disclosing ai but getting found out?
>>577166570Eh, I dont know. You dont have to disclose it if its code I think. And Stellaris has been slapping an AI disclosures on their newer DLCs and seems to be fine. I think there are degrees to it, you just wouldn't realize that if your listening to people who want to debate AI 24/7 cause they are all either nutjobs incapable of nuance or attention whore griffters rewarded for not presenting nuance. Just do whatever you find fun desu
>>577167739Nothing unless its provable and its not provable unless>There's an actual chatbot in your game (no hiding this)>You forgot to remove a watermark
>>577167739Pic related. Not for using AI, but for the crime of lying to Gaben, which is not something he will lightly forgive

>>577170341I thought they closed the "official patch" loophole.
>>577170425lol
>>577170792only if you try to do cute and funny or school girls. If you have Valve Approved Fetishes™ you don't even need a patch.
>>577171056so my question is, in the worst case scenario where you have infants in an sfw game but a mod hosted somewhere that depicts hardcore rape of said infants, how would valve come to terms with the fact that the "unofficial" mod is 90% likely to be from the developer themselves
>>577171056Marnix said that he struggled to get My Virtual Friend released because Valve employees kept thinking it was a porn game.
>>577170425this fucker gonna be rich because he has been memeing his shitty game

rotate you type like a 10 year old
>>577172207keep kanna away from me then
>>577167739It won't be a big deal if your game is actually cool, fun, with solid gameplay and costs less than 5 dollars. People will hate it at first but then forget about it. and then you'll be one step closer to the financial freedom.That’s just me talking nonsense. Of course they’re going to want your head on a platter, review-bomb your game and kill your dog.
>>577170506>or you can try some mocap. it's cheap now.with AI that's understating it big time you can just generate the mocap video now
>>577168689We live in a society.

>>577159921Welfare leech
>>577174693>alwaysThat's the first time anyone has said that to me. Do you perhaps think every anon who thinks you're a loser is the same person? I've got some bad news for you.Also, IDK what you think I'm failing at. I'm a sex haver and a grass toucher. Do you want me to apologize for being born 6ft and decent looking? You're only crying about luck all the time because you lost the genetic lottery.
notice the knee-jerk social validators the failed normalfag has to declare
>>577175404not beating the accusations
>>577174873based
>>577125224OK, slept on it and I figured it out, and I think I can explain. Turns out it's the random rotation value in the multimesh that was giving issues. The "randomness" of an instance's rotation is per tri of your target mesh. A low rotation randomness would create a bunch of meshes that skew towards the same rotation, on the same tri. From certain viewing angles you can see a pattern because those meshes are facing a light source in the same way, therefor receiving lighting the same way.More here: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/17w4v3l/help_multimeshinstance3d_rotates_mesh_instances/In pic rel I have the rotation randomness maxed out, but you can still see that the rightmost meshes skew towards a different angle compared to the leftmost meshes.
Notice all the undenied missed childhood developmental milestones. I'm sure your real life will finally begin after you release your game.
>>577173985What are you basing your statement on?

Also bonus if they claim to have worked in the industry but refuse to reveal their name, what company they worked for, what games they worked on and what their exact role was.
i wonder if using a game engine can cause commitment issues indirectly.like, think about it, you've tinkered on a game from scratch for 6 months. now starting a new project would mean you have to write everything from scratch again.but in unity? no problem, just create a new project. it's still all there.it's like being in a relationship where you can always quit and immediately find a new girlfriend with the same good baseline of features.ofc i'm not directly arguing for making a game from scratch. but i keep noticing how every "advancement" has psychological effects that backfire. just like ai, ai makes everything possible, yet also conditions you to become more lazy.it seems very hard to use new tools without becoming more brainfucked.
>>577183485please don't post this picture again. as a pro 3d modeller with 0 wishlists, this is suicide fuel.

>>577183905he is implying they're using ai while pretending or suggesting to be natty
>>577184090oh right. well yeah, it's pretty obvious, they're probably jeets or some such.
ai makes me realize i never really made progress. i just randomly had projects and coded stuff, just to feel busy. but once i achieved what i wanted, i was done. now that ai can do all that stuff for me instantly, i don't even know what to do anymore. i had ideas for voxel worlds, pathfinding graph demos, weather systems or whatever, but i didn't really have a vision for a game. i always deluded myself into thinking i make progress by reinventing wheels over and over.

>>577183508betz makes comics about specter of los? I thought they hated each other?
>>577184417that's because your purposefully misunderstanding the conversation
>>577184380as in, changing the transform scale? yeah, why not? do you expect it to fit every project and setting?
>>577184215I'd bet most of the general feels this why and that's the real reason posts have slowed down so much. We're stuck.
>>577184460What? Where did you get any of that? Betz was a comic maker before he leeched into this community.

Is the gamedev that posts his game here known as Cris ok? I heard some bad stuff
>>577184510Thanks. I think I was just confused as I tried to make an asset that is 0.5m. I realize it'll be small compared to a 10m floor or wall.
gamercattle deserve only ruthless exploitation
>>577185140the scale doesn't matter. consider the followinga car has a length of 5ma matchbox car has a length of 5cmso disregarding the obvious stupidity of using a high poly model for a 5cm asset, if i download a model/asset/prefab/whatever, i'll just scale it to fit my needs. i don't care about whatever scale it was originally, i can just change it in seconds.
>>577159921I like how he keeps trying to retroactively change his past. Remember when it became obvious he put his head down and went hard at making this game. Yeah sure bro pure luck. Remember when he came here mocking any anon who was miffed that the game doesn't have single player and requires a real person to play against? Yeah I remember.Imagine succeeding and saying it wasn't luck just to make him mad lol. I'm super confident he is the one behind those schizo tier posts about himself.
>>577185058No he posts on reddit instead. See >>577098402
>>577185654>schizo tier poststhe only schizo tier thing is meritcopers inability to acknowledge that luck is an huge factor
>>577178675This. It always struck me as odd when I'd see anons doing recommendations like this or giving away ideas for games? As if I'm gonna give away my chances of success.
>>577185356yes, unless it's me.
>>577183715you're the reason for it
>>577184629is this mainly a programmer dilemma? artist devs how are you feeling?
>>577186280it's not a programmer dilemma, rather it's an idea guy dilemma
>>577186607idea guys are extremely rare and usually drawn to entrepreneurship to scam boomers out of their 401k savings
>>577183715it's not AI. NOT AI!!!!. I really didn't use AI for ANY OF THIS. stop accusing me of AI. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NOT USED. I am just finally getting over my social anxiety

>>577183461I was mocked irl since I'm slow and take forever to progress my games forward
>>577187954>>577188643Ah, okay. Analysis paralysis sounds like a retarded woman's problem. The solution is simple: just like make game. You can even make game while pregnant in South America.
>>577188823I mock myself for that. I just spent 1 week on UI only and feels like I wont ever be happy with it. playtesters always find a way to be confused.

>>577185356>gamercattle deserve only ruthless exploitation
>>577188131it's a quote from a bookthe metaphor is that you're paralyzed by all the things you could do in life that you decide to commit to nothing instead out of fear of missing out it describes project-hopping nodevs who pose as 'idea guys' wellsometimes you just have to choose one path and lock in even if all other paths start looking greener the longer you work on somethingthis works so long as your game isn't doomed to fail from the start, but even that perception can be false >>577188643she killed herself a month after publishing that>>577188890cris, you are literally patient zero of this phenomenon
>>577188890I feel like the typical male manifestation of the metaphor would be to climb the tree and try to grab all the fruits at once and falling to your death like a dumbass
>>577189073>thats way to quick when you also have to make the engineI used a lot of libraries.

looks decent for now. Need to see how it works with my actual meshes. I do like that it doesn't hurt my frame rate. I think I can also add wind sway and maybe even make it reactive pretty easily

>>577190003buy more expensive brands and/ or let them ripe for a day before putting them in the fridgeonce bought a relatively expensive box of 'best of' strawberries (like 12 or so large strawberries handpicked) for 6 euros, probably the sweetest strawberries i've ever had
>>577189896I meant it colloquially fresh = sweetold = sour
>>577190948>fresh = sweet>old = sourno idea how this became a colloquialism when ripe (especially overripe) means sweet and unripe means sour.
>>577190556I regret not trying those strawberries while I was in japan. sure it was $50 so I didn't buy it out of principal, but I was there for experiences. damn.
>>577190000man I want to MOW THAT LAWN!!! the distance cutoff is a bit jarring, you gotta make the ground the same color or something?

>>577191406It's a short distance just for the webm. I will have multiple grass layers at different distances too, and use it for bushes and flowers as well. I want to add weed trimming gameplay with a weed-wacker that doubles as a weapon.

I'm reading random games steam forums to learn developer etiquette(good and bad).and I see developers posting AI responses to the players. the players are happy.
>>577191982you guys put so much effort into the wrong things
>>577191982Good etiquette = Only replying to criticism that you've already addressed ("I've fixed your bug.") or questions that inquire already planned features ("Will your game have multiplayer?" "Yes.")Do not under any circumstance reply to anything else, good or bad.
>>577192289>Do not under any circumstance reply to anything else, good or bad.thisgamers are not your friendsnever rub your shoulders with a gamer. you are above them. you should be untouchable and unreachable.

>>577195034Godot (and Unreal) feature native string interning (via StringName and FName) which enables O(1) lookup for static strings, so there's really no need for enums.
>>577199607no one knows what that is unc
>>577140207This looks fun>dev patches it and makes the game just a normal game
>>577200223colombian.
>>577200556string interning is the bare minimum for strings and not really relevant to the issue anyway lolwhich is: Strings being objectively more expensive in memory and cpu than numbers and that O(1) is still slower than working with numbers.
>>577196764That was a good idea and easy enough to implement.
>>577201047An interned string is literally just a number (a hash).
>>577201441optimization idea: we avoid having to hash completely

Repeat this times 100 to complete any feature. Indieslop is just as slow because indie devs are just as retarded. Many unreal games run great, the ones not made by retards at least.I'm happy to spend <1k cycles/s and <1kb RAM (i.e. <0.0001% of usage on any toaster from this millennia) on an robust and extensible system that's both backwards and forwards compatible to save myself hundreds to thousands of hours of debugging. (My modders will also thank me.) Interned strings over enums for anything that could possible change in future versions is just a simple tradeoff this industry has made since we have to deal with thousands of objects entering and exiting a scene tree per second each with their own library of functions and animations. You'd understand this if you'd ever made anything more complicated than what your baby's first CS class project made you do.
