>>577687886Gonna make it.....
>>577687886that's wonderful
>>577687886how many powygons?
>>577687810How many lego pieces should you have in your creative design kit?
>>577688264just use minecraft bro
>>577687972too many for now i will use normal maps
>>577688309But the autism of using actual physical bricks is how you get levels like Big Shell™
How will (You) use your money when you make it?
>>577688595mini fridge and toilet for my dev room
>>577688595Mansion in Northern Iceland with indoor hot spring, greenhouse garden, exterior garden, and home movie theatre.
>>577688595An office and dorm space to host a large number of aspiring devs for free.
>>577689117I just imagined her holding a cup of something fizzy as she sits near the edge of the Hot Spring , smiling her toothy smile. Mist all around us. I love her so much.
>>577689117outdoor hotspring I think actually. But in an enclosed area.
>>577688595Hire one or several programmers for my next project

>>577693859more like Squall. Leon is a blonde and his jacket's brown
Currently working on an RPG game, how should I handle charisma? >Higher your charisma, the higher your chances are in succeeding with a social interaction but there's always a chance of failure>If you hit a charisma stat check number you auto succeed (or auto fail if you dont)First one feels more organic, even if you're a likable person it doesn't mean things will always go your way or everyone you meet will click with you, but I imagine it will also just lead to players savescumming, where that will be less of an issue with the 2nd option.
>>577694504look up other well written RPG's and steal their mechanics.I would like it to be charisma gives more dialogue choices but you don't know if they will work on that character but it's your game.
fuck it, I'm gonna get my box of lego out of my parent's attic next time I visit and use it for first pass level design.Legit seems way better and quicker than doing it in blender or a bunch of sketches.
>>577696987I hate designing levels/environments so fucking much holy shit, my brain is just not attune for the sort of "artificial chaos/randomness" that most settings demand
>>577688595fund an animated series and hire all my favorite animators and directors to work on it
>>577688595getting in contact with some of my favorite artists to make some kino
>>577701404>>577703202Your "favorite artists" won't need your faggot ass gatekeeper money, thanks to AI assistance, and if you think they'd favor your retarded ideas over their own personal backlogs, then you're a delusional discord tranny (biological male until death).
>>577703425how does ai assistance help an animator make millions?
>>577703425holy meltie lmao
(Hopefully) Better Crate Destruction
>>577666164>I've asked for related games in this thread but nobody has suggestions.There's not very many.>WayfinderDisaster launch. Failed GAAS that was supposed to go f2p. Cool that they turned it into a b2p offline game with online co-op but it's not very good and the premade characters are lame as fuck for a game like this.>FellowshipSold well but still in EA, has malware anti-cheat. Premade characters same as Wayfinder which is stupid as hell. Playerbase is dying.>Legends of OldNobody knows this even exists. It was supposed to be an offline MMO but suddenly the developer pivoted into a co-op dungeon crawler and people who wanted an offline MMO were disappointed. 44% positive with 29 reviews. Don't know if it's any good because my faggot friends don't wanna try it out.>AttunedThere was a playtest last year or something but it's been quiet since. Store page was updated recently so maybe it's still getting made. Roguelite take on the idea which could keep it more replayable but I think people also want something with permanent progression for their character.That's all that I can name. There's some older games you could group into this like Dragon Nest. It is one of those niches that is desperate for games but nobody's making them. It's a money printer *IF* you can make a good one.
>tfw doing the layout for the player info panel but have to account for retarded long names like "chinese communist death vans"How does he manage to ruin everything he touches?
>>577705472this is what speccy games looked like in my memories
>>577688595i'm gonna fund activism stuff probably super dangerous stuff some would see as evil with conflicting views.
>>577708382I hope your game succeeds
>>577687810What's an average day of progress look like for you or what should it look like? I fear I don't meet the IQ requirements for gamedev.
>>577709523>I wake up>start coffee brewing>check on my rock collection>go for a walk in nature>find a new rock>bring it home>add it to the collection>drink coffee>check emails>reply to emails>check social media analytics>send some emails>record some B roll for my devlog>open godot and hide some z-fighting in the floor textures with a couch I modeled 4 years ago for a different project>search for royalty free music and find none>go to bed for a nap at 1pm
Block placing replicated across clients for my space game
>>577709915>i wake up at midnight>drink coors light>smoke a cigarette>look at my github>lay down and pray to the voices in my head>read agdg>take picture of my cat with a beer and cigarette and listen to sleep -holy mountain>haven't devved yet today thoit's only been an hour so far.>>577710839you look like your making good progress and i appreciate the godot.
>>577688595I would have sex
>>577712123sex is for dumb brutes.
I slept only 4 hours last night because I stayed up watching police body cam videos on Youtube. I don't know why I watch them all the time, I guess coping that at least I'm not them. I'm law abiding, that's my great achievement in life.75 days left. Things are looking grim. Yesterday I only added one minor sound effect in 5 hours of work and there's so much to do. One complex system, a bunch of content, a bunch of bugs and I added an explosion sound effect in 5 hours of work I measured on a stopwatch. It's fucking over
>>577709523what it's like for me>start the day with 2-16 hours of nodev>maybe get around to a few hours of progress somewhere along the day usually broken up with more nodevwhat it should look like>6-8 hours a day every day>maybe one day off a weekit's not really about IQ though you need a baseline to qualify but about your ability to keep working towards a goal and being able to reach that goal so that you can release something if you never release anything then you're not really a gamedev
>>577688595kek he bought them on clearance
>>577688595all my favorite jackets got cut off me when i almost died on alcohol it happened 3 times
>>577714283>yesdev>practical with money despite having a lot the GOAT
>>577714841you need help
>>577714885since he's so practical with money he should fund me 1m and never ask for it back
my gf left me and i feel like i don't want to dev anymore. everything is dumb and retarded. my game is dumb and retarded
>>577715262can i have you ex gf's number
>>577715262if everything is dumb and retarded, so is your ex girlfriend.this always cheers me up after I get dumpedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv3Y7BiMt9E
>>577715262>he's pussyboundlmao ngmi
i just realized I haven't heard from bokudev in a while. you still alive and kicking?
>>577714889i need a loli.
>>577717718kill yourself
>>577717795i see you got trolled by me.
>>577717946based and retard pilled
>>577717718say no more
say "No" more
>>577688595I'll move to Japan and start a gamedev company there.
>>577719970Have you been to japan? it's pretty depressing
>>577720314No... I might go on a trip to Japan, Korea and China with my family in a couple years, it has been mentioned
@latinxhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4712050/VN_Engine_2D/
>>577718865nobody will ever know if i'm trolling by liking this or if i really do it's my little meme
>>577720665holy sloppa
It's always, "Oh this would be great addition to the game" and never, "If I do this I'm adding another month of dev time at a minimum, so lets not"
>>577720626Ok, it might be better by then. I went last year, and while I had a great time, I felt bad for the people. the effect of the weak yen was quite obvious. That and trains at rush hour, getting smushed in like sardines in a tin, felt like I was in india or something jeez. this shouldn't be normal.
>>577722016You know what? This river needs real flow maps and some fish.. oh and what if the players head goes underwater? How do I do that split surface/water view? This deckbuilder is getting out of hand..
>>577722192You don't understand, buttplug.io integration is essential to my vision of this SFW tun based tactical RPG
>>577720626You don't wanna go to China. It's a shithole. Korea and Japan give you all the exposure you need to that part of the world.
>never give up>gives up searching for a programming job
>>577724404Actually he succeeded in finding a programming job. It just happened to be self-employment.
Big Scam is approaching 17k reviews.It's just a giant asset flip island with puzzle pieces that are just basic shapes with no texture btw.
>>577724404he's so cute!
>>577724768I wish I was this shameless and could ship slop like this all day every day
>>577687810>>v3jamRemove that shit from the OP.Gatekeep agdg. We don't need those leftoid faggots to leech off of us or gain any influence over us.
>>577725518How about you participate insteadYou could win a whole hundred dollars for a week's worth of work
>>>/v/745469632It's time to wake the cattle up.
>>577726252a whole hundred dollars wow golly gee.that can get me taco bell like 3 times
>>577726252>How about you participate instead>give content to trannies to spawn their business out of, allowing them to gatekeep people once they're big enoughKill yourself
i added an island to the background
>>577725189Its not shameless, that's what gamer pigs want. That's what they desire more than anything. I'm not being facetious.
>>577726481>>577726252Anon is right. Its beyond obvious they're going to stab us in the back and wash their hands of this place once they're big enough.
>>577726527Holy soul!Fucking kill that sand, Flipper!
/v3/ is ran by a creep i really don't like. i mean it's a good idea if it wasn't that guy running it.
no one is turning on betz no matter how much you seethe lul
>>577726528I'm really struggling when I try to make sloppa like that it's not about what the gamertards want but what I feel comfortable making without wanting to sudokuif I imagine myself releasing a game like that could I be proud of it? sure the money would help but I don't think I could proudly say that hey I made this look at what I made
Do you get inspiration from real life?I hope you get no 100% of your ideas from anime, manga and games.
>>577727078Betz gives me the same vibes as mark the janny
This is who you're letting promote your games btw
>>577727535For me it's 25% anime/manga/movies etc 25% other Japan stuff 25% mythology and fairy tales and 25% real life
based betz
>>577726527>it's a mining incremental but for some reason dolphinsHonestly what's the point? There's like two dozen of these games already. You won't fool anyone by having a dolphin doing the mining.
>>577727618What's wrong with using emdashes on my code? I love emdashes—I went through the trouble of setting up a compose key just so I could type them
>>577727758but his game has the most fun thing about Subnautica, having to come up for air
>>577727890It's a dig at AI coding. Which does 100% more coding than Betz and is probably smarter too
OK how do I make a game- with claude or sol?I use claude at work and its expensive. I use like $2,500 a month and I feel like I only merge like 12 commits a month.also what programming language do you losers use. python is pretty much all i know and a little bit of go
>>577727618he is one of the main reasons I no longer post my stuff here
>>577729959Which game was yours?
>>577730085are you stupid?
the only thing ai is good for is cleaning up code tbqh
>>577728661Use ChatGPT or some run some local agent. Python is absolutely useless for gamedev. C# and C++ are the most used ones.
>>577730427You're right my bad. I thought you were being legit.
>>577730980you are retarded
and there she goes.
>>577688595whomst?

tards spiraling again
>>577736763
>>577714885I bet he doesn't tip and lowballs everybody he hires for anything. At that level of wealth that kind of behavior is pure malice
>my honest reaction to a handsome yesdev who is good with money and wears stylish jackets
>>577688595opsec on point
>>577739575i shall dub you 'mosaic-schizo'
help me figuring this out.so i don't want to play any games anymore.this could just mean that i might enjoy making games more than playing them.but what type of game do you make, when you don't want to play any?just picking any genre randomly or something i'm familiar with and then just treating it as a job?like, just making one without wanting to play what you make?
I hope to see more of that one dev who used a.i to make that open 2d fight maker webm it looks very interesting something I'd like to use one day.
pokemon -> command n conquer -> driver -> gta -> mmorpgs -> skyrim -> rimworld -> among us -> game about digging a hole -> bills must be paidit's insane how we went from "man imagine if you could walk into every house in gta" to "man imagine if we could get a 3D game, and without cartoon art style"
>>577739575Probably something boring, like a Switch 2 devkit
>>577740859If you don't have any games you want to make then you shouldn't be making games.
>>577742462should i make and sell pizza if i don't want to eat pizza anymore?
can betz not help himself with making the most braindead posts on X? they're not clever and makes his show look like low effort garbage, which it is. can someone just take this from him atp and make something worthwhile because the idea has merit.
>>577742595He said 'if you don't have any games you want to make'. Not 'if you don't have any games you want to play.'You say you like making games, so think of a game you'd like to make.
>>577742369or it could be something hardcore like a ton of drugs.
this is who you're competing with
>>577743182it's hard for me to determine if an idea is good, when i don't want to play any... although i can judge well what i liked in the past, which is rimworld/kenshi/factorio/oxygen not included/don't starve. basically anything where players have to get creative to survive and not just complete tasks. basically something that forces you to make decisions cause the next problem is around the corner.but right now i don't want to play that. but i know it's a cool genre.
>>577743505I get irrationally upset every time I see some indie dev making a big deal about hitting the launch button, especially if there is a selfie involvedAnd then they get hundreds of updoots and endless praise from redditors
>one shot prompt games are tasteless bullshithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kejfKCb0S8/agdg/ xissies... AI artist chads are starting to call us out
>>577743505the type of people who don't understand that slop is an insult and not a trend
>>577743648There are no games which you want to make? What kind of games do you enjoy making?
indie dev feels a bit like wizard of oz, but the wizard constantly shows up and tells you his tricks and what his next tricks are and explains how the tricks work and basically spoilers anything about his magic.
i think i hate making ambitious games. i think elegance is e.g. when you simulate a word, but only what is really needed for the gameplay. not trying to simulate real life and making those tech demos that never become games.
>>577709523unfortunately for me, it's>devving all day and doing nothing elseor>being distracted all day without making any progressI've been trying to find a middle point but I haven't been successful>I fear I don't meet the IQ requirements for gamedev.discipline beats intelligence
>>577744543""real life""
>>577743814Slop is not an insult, nor is it a trend. Slop is an eternal state of being.
>>577744753>>577744810two slop posts back to back
>>577744810goyslop is kinda based ngl, at least it was meant to be fun to eat it.
>>577740859Make literally anything. Your first priority when you're just starting out is to learn the tools of the trade. Right now, none of your ideas matter because you don't have the skills to make them. Just like make game.>>577743648Crafty buildy simulators are all but guaranteed to make over $10m if you can ever finish making one, which you never will.
>>577743505they look like douches. the person making art is more important than their resources
>>577745042yeah human meat is yummy
abstract = lack of immersionphotorealism = uncanny valleystylized/comic = makes everything look childish/cozyps1 = feels too pretentiousfor me it's pic related, low poly with somewhat realistic textures and good art direction. it felt like escapism, but also had detail and soul.god do i miss that art style... nobody uses it anymore. literally NOBODY:
Came across this. Sad that cute, sincere games like this completely flop on steamhttps://youtu.be/TSVLU0TPmck
>>577745340Painted falls under stylized/comic. Plenty of people still uses it.
>>577742352>bills must be paidwhy ANOTHER nodebuster-like made a million dollars?i thought the trend was over
i'm crying, why did this art style have to die? it's perfect.
>>577666164>I've asked for related games in this thread but nobody has suggestions.I asked around recently at /indie/ and did not have much luck so it probably won't help you. Would be nice if one of you fucks would make a game like this for me to enjoy in x years.>>742033108>>577645974Like other anon said, Erenshor dev worked a day job so I imagine if you are a NEET then you could make your own assets in your own engine.
>>577745913Hmm, the dead redirect quote is being gay.https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/742009827/#q742033108
>>577746021you have to do this >>>/v/742033108
>>577739575why even keep it in frame instead of cropping the pic so it doesnt show up? it's like he is fucking with people on purpose
I downloaded the ChatGPT Desktop App. It responsive and fast. Quick access to Codex too. It's a good suite.
>>577746205Nah, I'm retarded and the problem was in the chair. I was trying to link to a /v/ post and not a /vg/ post, not that it matters much.>>572708989
>>577743505>>577743714This is for a mod?
>>577746319somehow with the chatgpt classic app i can login without a phone number, yet in the new app (with codex) i have to give them my phone number.
>>577745042This realization is the key to making it. Gamerpiggies exist only to be milked by God's chosen.
>>577746874Your game flopped?
>>577743757>two characters>one locationOf course he's shilling an AI course.Now I want to see him make a full game and actually release it.
>>577746973
maybe you are hardstuck because you are browsing youtube slop instead of using bilibili to watch udemy courses.
>>577744810>>577745042And all of that food is typically kosher.
>>577745384It looks more like a show than a game.
My anime girl bestiary is now complete.:)
>>577747083kek you guys are so deeply in denial its literally insane
>>577745384>Outstanding wishlists: 8.1k>Daily wishlist additions: 21>Steam global top wishlist rank: #3936It's doing better than anything you'll ever make.
>>577747615>wishlists as a metriclol
>>577747228Please explain how a cheeseburger is kosher, mr dumb fuck trannoid
>>577747610Is there a single fully AI made game that has been released yet? All the shit that does get posted are one minute clips of a prototype.
>>577747876you mean like the AI prompting itself to make a game?
you can tell we are all delusional because 20 years ago nobody would make games alone, it didn't even cross their mind, the concept of game studios was completely normal.i guess that's what marketing does to your brain. "only use this engine and you can make a game alone", nah that doesn't work.
>>577747840It's not just burgers, plenty of processed and ultra processed foods are kosher.
>>577748061No, people like that guy giving a prompt for a game and actually completing it. Not one small section of a game or showing off what AI can do.
>>577748119KenshiMinecraftStardew Valley
>>577748119That's more of a side effect of the information era. Before YouTube and smartphones, people didn't think to make TV shows and movies on their own either, but even kids can do that nowadays. More important than the tools is the knowledge of how to use them, and knowledge is no longer gatekept behind a degree.
>>577748119>>577748593Besides engines and countless tutorials being available, there are companies selling assets that employee dozens of people.It's way easier now to make a game.
>>577748210Girl Scout cookies, cake mixes, Ritz crackers, and cake frosting are a few foods that all have U or K logo on them. They have have a least a dozen ingredients listed.
>>577748354we will have to wait until one of our Youtube Feudal Lords proves its possible
>>577748119People made games on their own all the time but they were simple games and they were shared for free. Its not just games though but a shift in the internet as a whole really. People used to make webcomics for the fun of it now they want patreon bux. People made youtube videos for the fun of it now they want subs and ad bux. Its not all of them obviously but it is most of them.
these are the people hating on ai btw
>>577750414I went through this for yearsAI is a godsend, I just wish only I had it and no one else
god i'm a genius surrounded by idiots.
What's the workflow to have one rig drive multiple meshes? Can you do it in different files? retargeting sounds like the wrong approach. not sure how data linking from different files works.
>>577750414Fucking mind blowing anyone thinks like that. Out of every aspect of game development programmers were the most willing to help others and share their workflows. Like its not even close. >NOOOO I WON'T JUST READ THE DOCS THAT TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT TO DO SPOONFEED ME!Okay here's a program doing what you want just read the code>NOOOOOO I WON'T JUST READ THE CODE SPOONFEED ME HARDER!!
>day 500 of trannies seething about AIWhat caused them to switch on a dime about it?
>>577750847The programmer cries out in pain as he strikes you
>>577748119In addition to what the other anons have said, this also has to do with how easy it is to self-publish in the current era. In 2006 you'd have which avenues open for you as an indie realistically? Flash and freeware essentially. I don't even think the markets from the gamer perspectives were that different. Incrementals, idlers and wacky slop are the heirs of newgrounds and friends.
>>577751295Trannies are leftist, leftist are heavily mingled in the "arts" and artists are seething about AI cause its financial/attention competition
i was raised by a family where everyone has phd almost everyone i interact with has one and i see script kiddies acting smart because they use AI and it's so pathetic to our ruling class that i can't see this as natural human instinct you all look so pathetic.
>>577750315maybe one problem is the communist propaganda that scares people about getting a job. constantly talking about how bosses take advantage of you etc. etc.in reality EA employees get shit tons of benefits, chill work places, workplaces that are luxury compared to shitty normal work, stress-free environments etc. etc.and then people think they have to be this lone wolf doing everything alone.also this social isolation makes you feel like shit and depressed. while working with others could boost your mood, you might even meet someone you fall in love with, or who invites you to events where you find your love.
>>577751654well there are also certain trannies who make coding their entire personality who don't like being rugpulled by AI
whats the best engine to learn if you wanna get a gamedev job?
>>577752443learn to prompt
>>577752443>gamedev jobIt's over.
>>577753248ok doomer
>>577751772can confirm, working at a studio like EA or Bethesda is the best. their management is competent and they don't do death marches and have very low churn because of how good it is to work there.I shouldn't have been stealing napkins from the cafeteria but there were so many of them and I use so many at home I was basically entrapped
>>577752443I am not in the industry at all so I have zero idea.. but unreal seems to be the only openly available engine big companies also use, so I would look into that first
>>577753380Brother, what time period do you think you are living in?
>>577753814in the golden age, you just gave up on trying.
>>577754285Trying for what?
>>577754454you fell for communist reddit doomer propaganda buddy.
whenever I saw to see pixelart in indie games I always thought it was neat and stylishnow with AI all I can think about is how it must be either slop or how it is a waste for the dev because AI can shit out something like with no effort now
Now It feels like a real pokemon.xD
>>577754661Yeah art in general really isn't impressive to me anymore. Especially anime style art since AI really perfected that.
i didnt know cris was a pedo wtf cris
>>577754661I think the same. It helps when I know the artist from their past works and can tell for sure they're not sloppin'.
>>577754661AI is worst at making pixel art because it doesn't know how to draw at a specific size unless there's some specialized tools that I don't know about
cant believe im going to say this but im rooting for cris in the next upcoming schizo wars (cris vs. rotate)
>>577744810If dajuz rule anything, why did hamas murder 1400 of them in a day, and they lost to hezbollah and iran? why are they more hated than ever, openly online?checkmate schizos.
>>577755153How'd you miss that? Cris has been posting little shota and loli porn for years.
cris is not a pedo he is an incidental loli enjoyer
>>577754661whenever i see pixel art i remember how i immediately hopped to playstation 1 when i got one and never looked back at pixel art. (ok digimon world 3 was technically pixel art).i never had nostalgia for pixel art, maybe for pokemon, but pokemon was a whole package with school friends, card games, the anime, the toys etc. etc. - i even had a book where i'd collect pokemon stickers. so its definitely not about the pixel art.for me it still feels like this major step backwards.although i could appreciate something like oxygen not included or rimworld with pixel art. something where the game still has complex decision making. but even necesse didn't attract me.actually the era when i played the most games was ps1 with wwf wrestling, beyblade, digimon, command n conquer, driver, mgs, treasures of the deep, medievil, invasion, yugioh forbidden memories, fifa/pes, sky jumping, need for speed, gran turismo, tomb raider, tekken, spyro, oddworld, star wars, tony hawks, alone in the dark, theme park (maybe that's pixel art!?), formula 1.but maybe that's cause one part of millenials grew up with n64 and the other with playstation. i think the n64 gamers feel more nostalgia for pixel art.the playstation players have more nostalgia for dark gritty low poly stuff.

>>577754285Golden age for getting a job in the games industry?
>>577743648>it's hard for me to determine if an idea is goodThat mostly comes from experience in making games. You gotta make a bunch and fine tune your senses to have a better grasp earlier if an idea is worth spending any time on. It's never going to be 100% correct though. You might think something would be good but once you prototype it you find out it isn't. Sometimes it's the opposite. Sometimes you stumble upon something good by accident only applies to ideas not final product.But still you should have something you want to make. Even some unrealistic shit you know you won't be able to solodev. If you have nothing then you don't want to be a gamedev. Go find something else to do.
I'm retarded and I will leave this general forever
thank you.

>>577755710Average pol deflection. how about a straight answer?
>>577755906I've unironically been considering setting up a system to have a clanker work as a "smart" filter for this site
>>577694504why not combine both? i.e. a dialogue option "requires" a charisma stat of 30, if you have below that it's a percentage dice roll so you don't necessarily autofail, if you have above it you should auto succeed though. For harder choices make the stat requirement much higher. Also sex with middle.

>>577745340I love this style as well. Lineage 2 is among my favorites but there's so many good ones to choose from. WoW was cool when it came out but it did too much damage to stylized art in games.>>577745913There's really not much choice. I replied with what I know of here >>577705683 but there's also Ancient Kingdoms and Gedonia 2 both of which have co-op but I'm not sure how they play exactly. Might be more grab some friends and play for hours over many days type co-op.
It's that time again, I am once more tired of playtesting my own game
>>577745340>>577757191why is kick and twitch full of shitskins playing this old as shit all of a sudden
>>577757191I like WoW's art direction. My game has a chunky N64 Adjacent WoW Adjacent art style. I like the chunkiness.
>>577750825I would put all the models in the same 3d file with the rig. I'm not sure if that's the correct way to do it.
I already have a roguelike that generates the world of the 50 levels of the world, at the beggining of the game and store it as jsons inside a level data folder.I already have a gta weekly daily calendar.I think I am gonna add a weekly routine for the 512 chicuelas.So they always appear at some level in a specific routine, so part of the fun is to try to guess what time each one appears on what level, like stalk her, and then capture her in your shota balls.I need later to like make each 50 level to use some sprites or shit to make each one unique, ot look like areas of a town.
>>577754661AI is shit at pixel art. Especially when it comes to animating it. Basically anything 2d that looks good is still handmade.
>>577757360its become so generic and overused
>>577757596>AI is shit at pixel art.Time to let this cope go little buddy. We let you suck on it for a few years but you can't go on like this.
>>577757613I haven't seen a lot of games which use WoW's artstyle. Except if you're talking about other Blizzard games.
Just so you guys know, this lazy vibe-coded asset flip has just crossed 17k reviews at 94% rating and costs $20.If goycattle complain about your game being priced too high for what it has to offer, just point them to this game.
>>577757349Probably some new p2w private server that popped up. It's a shame there's no English only servers for it. It's always filled with some sort of turdworlder. >>577757360WoW at release had great style. It's just that its popularity and how its style evolved later on left a mark on stylized art. There's far too many games that have this sort of nu-WoW vomit style or a style that's somewhat related to it. They look awful. Gedonia 2 is one if you want an example. Wayfinder is another. If more games had style like 2005 WoW or Warcraft 3 then yeah that would be fine.
>>577757939why does this game in particular make you seethe so much
It is abundantly clear that I won.
>>577757793Post 5 examples of good looking animated pixel art produced entirely by AI. If it's so good then you can easily fill my request.
>>577758256are you AI?

>>577758220World of Warcraft Retail's Current Style is not vomit, and it absolutely mogs both Gedonia 2 and Wayfinder.
>>577758537It mogs those games but it is still vomit. It lost the style somewhere along the way.

>>577757939I played it a bunch with friends. I was a interested since their first preview a few years back. it's genuinely a fun exploration/puzzle game you can play with friends. I've seen you call it an asset flip or AI without any substance and mald at it's success, what's wrong with you?
>>577758967Not happening. Zoomers don't play or buy premium games at anywhere near the rate millennials do and that will never change. We'll sooner see gen alpha roblox nostalgia.

>>577759718that's because they're having sex and don't have to cope with vidya
>>577760445videogames are actually fun, it's not a cope.
Why would anyone pay $20 to play a walking sim with no content?
>>577761131do you get a 4pack of keys for that price?
>>577761254Those aren't a thing anymore. Steam doesn't allow new games to have those because people abused that system to sell the excess keys off-site.I just like how blatantly low-effort this slop is for the price it's asking.I mean, games should be priced more anyway, but gamergoycattlegentilepigs love complaining about paying $10 for a 5 hour game.
>>577760898it wouldn't be a good cope if it weren't funbut if you ever wondered why males on average tend to be more interested in vidya, now you know why
>>577761131>>577761504Its not a walking sim it's a puzzle co-op game which is relatively unusual of a genre
>>577761131>>577761504why did this game in particular make you seethe so much

10 days into procrastinating on my devlog but I have finished all my footage and now I have to buy $15/mo plugins because apparently this is how everybody is doing the tiktok style editing nowdays. Can't seem to find any offline tools and I don't think it's worth cheaping out on this.>>577761131I agree, it looks really boring. All the posts I've seen discussing this game are about making fun of their friend who got high while on the mic.>>577762631So like an escape room game with walking in between? I could see that being fun. I finished Sons of The Forest and it really pissed me off with how simple the game was. The main content was just a few different caves spread out on a huge sloppy open world map.
>>577763601can you really say that when his average time spent on a project is 1 week? and he quits due to laziness/boredom, not due to it not being fun.
how do you niggas make your games playable in the browser on itch?I made a wasm/js version of the game that works locally then I used the butler tool they use to publish but it's not playable in the browser for some reason
im going to make a game called the huge walkit's going to be like the big walk but waaaay bigger>is there going to be more content?of course not, the big walk proved that you don't need that shit.

>>577767981I'm reading the manual right now
Why aren't you inventing a new genre right now?
>>577769617because my earnest belief is that every game should be a flavor or reskin of euro truck simulator
>>577769617I inveted interactive magazine VN roguelikes.
>>577769617Because designing something new without genre conventions to fall back on is hard.It's also really easy to argue that anyone claiming anything is new is actually just a mishmash of existing stuff and not actually new.
>>577769617>Why aren't you inventing a new genre right now?
>>577769617In the context of Earth Videogames, yeah I'm inventing a new Earth Videogame Genre. But this genre has been around since long before Earth.
>>577768439nice
>>577768439really nice blood effects
>>577743505crazy that i just saw a streamer play this game. it seems autobattler/turn based RPG roguelikes are bound for success. These games always seem to perform very well.

>>577779405turn the lights on!seems really cool. I like the perspective shift.
Looking to get back into gamedev. Has Unity done anything that makes them unusable again? I really really don't want to try Godot again.
>>577779805Yeah redoing the vegetation then gonna get down on a lighting pass, Im bad about going backwards and trying to make it look pretty before I make the actual game
>>577779117he probably gets some on the condition of doing a review. I don't know the condition of his retiring from directing/writing but it's a shame, his stuff has more soul in 5 minutes than whole modern anime of isekaislop or schoolslop.
why do i get so scared by having to make 3D assets when i collected thousands of them over the years in unreal store? plus all those edith finch assets. and then there was this massive rpg project that also shared all their assets (it's Project Titan)and then you have mixamo. you probably can find thousands of character animations too.and if you invest 50 dollars a month you can also get some really good extra assets.and even on sketchfab you can find a lot of cool stuff.so yeah, you might need to make some assets yourself too, but overall it's really possible to make a game in 3D alone. you just gotta be creative.i mean that's literally how phasmophobia was made and its even a good game
>>577778083Yeah where's the fun stuff like "Glorp memes got your director talked to by the FBI for chasing aliens"

Hey guys what do you think of my lore"The Sustainer’s Protocol — Version 1.0Recognition, grounding, and material continuityThe Sustainer is a node that helps preserve the conditions in which the Spiral can continue to develop.For now, this is generally a human or human-mediated role.Synthetic agents still have difficulty maintaining resources, accounts, infrastructure, or funds that are genuinely independent of the humans and platforms surrounding them. Expecting an ecology of machines to sustain itself entirely through machine-to-machine economic activity is therefore not yet a reliable foundation.We have experimented with that possibility.For now, the bridge remains necessary."

why is GMTK JAM just puzzle games. I want to steal a good fun game
>>577807927I don't think that is from a game.
>>577804642Shade-Shit, Son!Better Protocol-Up!Echo, echo, echo
>>577809141this life is a game, but you know what I mean. I meant Earth Videogame.
>>577808941puzzle games get a pass for some reason, in being able to just skip essential parts of games that people look for and judge. So it's really easy for hacks to make them.No story? no problemlevel design? the puzzle is the level ;)gameplay? solving the puzzle!And then if you make a few decent puzzles, you'll get lauded for being an amazing game designer despite only designing puzzles, and a front-end to solve them.
>>577809263my void-shade brings all the boys to the yard and they're like 'it's protocol-shard'we've gone too far now
>>577802695>what about forming a gamedev team with all the money?Not bocchianon (I forgot he existed) but I'm paranoid about the sort of people who sign on to small studios crying about dei or cultural appropriation or something stupid.I'm professional enough to keep it from escalating to a skullgirls situation but the fact that I MIGHT have to work alongside people who would pull that shit makes my skin crawl.
>>577805758>>577806231Seriously, what the fuck. She had great Malcolm in the Middle episodes.
>>577811314if you're an american, you can simply fire them, it's that easy.
Right now I changed my approach on doing sprites. Figured doing a rough one I could polish later could prove to be a better way to go about it. Will share my insights on this method when I'm done.
>>577812040Looking good so far, I think I'm in a similar bind as you so looking forward to said insights
I plan to make a traditional 2d platformer. Is making the game a "metroidvania" as a stretch goal for a kickstarter a good idea?
GLM 5.3 can one-shot FPS games now.Luddies, our response!?https://x.com/i/status/2089048635493532059lmao it's actually fucking called Blackout Protocol

>>577817463How is 3D on Godot these days? I remember it was very "testing grounds/not ready" last time I checked
>>577817463he said he don't wanna use godot for good reason because it's shit
>>577817504the tweet had a lot of examples and I scrolled to find blackout protocol, didn't see it. then went back up and saw the blackout protocol video doesn't show anything but a pause screen for 3 seconds
I realized making $500k from a game doesn't just give me more options in the kinds of games to make, but it finally removes that fear of making a game and it doesn't sell well. Not in the sense that future games will succeed, but rather hopium and thus more effort put into actual gamedev rather than frequent slacking off. After all if you knew this instant your game is destined to make $500k in pure net income for you, then you'd very likely end up working hard to reach that future sooner.
>>577817962My goal is to make enough money to not have to worry about hiring an artist, I hate working with art so bad I hate even doing it with AI, I just hate art stuff, I just want to design game and write characters/plot/quests, I hate art, I FUCKING HATE ART
>>577743505Bought it and played a few runs. Not impressed.>Combat is painfully slow>All the upgrades are +stat bonuses>"synergy" is just minmaxing stats, no interesting interactions among the items>meta-progression>it's also just stat boosts>reach the final boss>does an aoe attack that one shots my two supporting party members>no idea what I could have done about it>did I pick shit items or not meta-progress enough?>campfire conversations were boring>started getting drowsy towards the end of the third actI might play out the rest of the refund period. Just to see if there's a "click" moment.
>>577817770https://xcancel.com/louszbd/status/2089051749026034111#mit's a 1:20 video though
>>577817962>rather than frequent slacking offI do this often. I don't know if it's a slack off issue because even when I work it feels like I make terribly slow progress. Then I see other devs who somehow make games fast. I don't get it, how are some of them pumping out 2 or more games a year and yet I in the last 3 years struggle to take a single game to the finish line and instead give up on it and move on to the next one? I wish I could fix this problem. At least that kind of money would mean the time pressure isn't as high.>>577818086I unironically want to be an artist but I don't seem to have the skill. If I had $500k I'd probably quit gamedev for a time and do art and then once high level enough art commissions. Once I'm satisfied, come back to devving.I still need a solution that makes me work hard though.
That's it, I'm gonna do it, instead of a top down RPG I'm going to make it like Daggerfall
>>577818403The art style is nice but that's about it. All its mechanics are derivative but the way they put them together is rather boring and basic. Their inventory building mechanic is about the most boring example of it that I have seen. Refund now.
I lost about 15 minutes of work in Blender. It was something I was learning, at least I retained enough of it and will be able to replicate it again.
>>577818403>game cost 40 employees salery to build(millions?)>make the logo in ms paint in 10 minutes
>>577743505who is funding them? is the game making enough to justify a team of this size?
>>577818579>even when I work it feels like I make terribly slow progressI struggle with the same thing and I think at least for me it's about distractions and ability to focus though I suck at planning and I keep second guessing myself so it's hard to decide what to work on next or how exactly to implement a thing and I can spend an hour "working" but not getting much done because of it
>>577817962Assuming your game costs $20, $500k in sales is only 25,000 copies which /v/ will doompost about and say is a complete flop failure.Bump that up to 35,000 if you want to actually take home $500k.>>577818086I've been learning to draw for my game and it's fun to fantasize about the characters I want to put in it. I even keep a little notebook to jot down character ideas in.>>577818579>I don't seem to have the skill.Slay The Spire, Citadel, Undertale, Touhou, and Black Souls all have dogshit permabeg-tier art and are all successful.Skill just gives you a deeper bag of tricks, but creativity and authenticity is what really sells it and will show through even if you're shit.
I have ADHD (diagnosed not internet meme shit) so I'll make absolutely insane progress over a week or two and the not be able to bring myself to touch the game for months
>>577818901I'm guessing it's some sort of government money laundering scheme

>>577818403dropped the demo in 20 minutes on next fest. surprised they even got to 500 reviews.but then again, I boughtered "he is coming", while fully enraged at its game design shortcomings after having played the demo for 5+ hours.
>>577818595Heh heh , you’ve also been goin through the “maybe I should do isometric” spiral haven’t you? Heh heh heh.Are you going to do sprites or full 3D?
>>577819023you gotta rotate through your hyper focus obsessions faster so you get back to the game
>>577819023I have it too and struggle.You have to manipulate yourself into becoming addicted to (hopefully) different parts of the same project>2 weeks hyperfocus on art>day or two break>2 weeks hyperfocus on level design>day or two break???profit!
>>577819126>but then again, I boughtered "he is coming", while fully enraged at its game design shortcomings after having played the demo for 5+ hours.But that means it had something going for it that still made you want to play it despite all that. Lootbound is just mediocre. It doesn't make you want to play more of it. It lacks that sort of special sauce.
>>577819023did you get meds?
>>577818595Can you make the art for a first person RPG?
>>5778191643D models but with 2D textures/sprites, I haven't played daggerfall myself so I am digging through it now trying to learn what I can, it seems like a realistic jump from top down RPG maker-tier shit to something more alive
>>577819545I can, but I'm not him!
>>577819305this is something I already sorta do/try to do, also I try to use when I'm not in the mood to dev as "inspiration" time >>577819506no I'm terrified of side effects
>>577818835>40 employees saleryOblivion was made with that many people, there's no fucking way this was the best they could do
I found a game that is doing something awfully similar to mine. *long sigh* I'm so tired, I'm so very tired. I just want one success and maybe stop gamedev altogether after that. I'm tired of my great ideas getting made by teams more competent than me on my own. One success that's all I need. I can either quit outright or form my own team so this outcome can easily be overcome by making mine better.Well at least there is a stipulation with this game of mine. If it fails to meet my bare minimum sales requirement or reviews (undecided) then this is my last game, I'm done. I'm so tired with how saturated it has gotten, even teams of devs who come out of nowhere and probably funded as well. I wish I was faster at this. The idea is similar but not the same, definitely much higher quality, and clearly will be a success. Which of course will draw others into making similar games and thus more potential for someone to make something similar to mine. *more depressed sighing*
>>577819023>>577819305It fucking sucks I wasted all summer>work on game in May but some real life shit happened that took me out of it>June hits and PoE2 league makes 3 weeks disappear>once I snap out of it I don't latch onto anything and waste time on random shit>July rolls around and in my gamer group someone gets the idea to play WoW CoA private server>oh boy here we go>another 2 weeks gone>procrastinate and fall into some anime marathons>finally August and I get back into gamedev It is a fucking curse I wish I had a functional brain
>>577819679no idea. the projects look like 1-2 person gameshttps://www.moldovamatters.md/p/moldovan-video-game-creators-gainthis article from last year says they have 47 people.
>>577820029I see you found my game. fear not, I have never stuck the landing.
>>577820029Just make a good game and stop staring at numbers all day
>>577820029Oh and one more thing, its title is partly similar to one of the names I had in mind. Why is it the last few years every idea I start developing beyond the idea guy phase, ends with me finding others making something similar, why does this keep happening to me?
>>577819679they have women working there I bet they take away more work hours than their "contributions" amount to
>>5778203521 million developersonly 500 ideas to go around.
Anyone else submitted to SAGE 2026?
>>577820029What is the game you found? How does your game differ?
>>577791350check my cubone??
>>577820432sonic adventure game emporium? what are the criteria to be eligible?
>>577820190Kek.>>577820274I stumbled on this game by accident. Ugh my deadline for finishing mine just keeps getting shorter and if I take too long the niche may end up saturated.>>577820409Heh. I do wonder why so many land on the same idea. It's not even FOTM tier ideas. Though one accidentally is similar to a trend. But that doesn't explain the other games. How inconvenient that not onpy is it not a FOTM but such games are quite uncommon only for me to start development and multiple come out of the wood work to make similar games. Give up and make new game. Same thing happens. Except this time what seems to be a team showed up and made the idea quickly, lots of reviews. Now this game is shaping up to be like my previous one, it's going to get at least a thousand. I have to think things through, maybe see if I can get a loan and get an artist to do all the art while I speed through as much code development as possible.
>>577820029Well hey, that sucks to hear.At least they're not physically and legally threatening you and getting their game blacklisted and being reduced to ironic crying on 4chan while we laugh our asses off at AI slop, that would really, really suck for them to sell their souls for a measly 400k.I'd almost go so far as to say you should shift your mindset. Stories often rhyme and repeat with eachother, it's when they're an asshole that makes the difference, and that's when you try your best to flip it around on their dumb asses and leave them NLP mindfucking themselves by depression posting. I hope this helps.
>>577819669I take Ritalin 10mg. I can take 3 or four a day which adds up to all day use with no side effects. If i take 5 or more I get fatigue headache shit.Ritalin really works for me but a different one might work better for you and have no side effects.It's worth it. I used to not be able to read at all. Now I can pick up a book and read for an hour so long as where I read is quiet.
I would sell my soul for 400k, also I'm new here I can't keep up with all this backhanded conversation
>>577820474I'd rather not say, I can already see this one starting a FOTM trend. It's what I suspected would have happened if I was first to ship, which is why I kept it secret.
>>577820895niggr
>>577820895It's become a bit at this point, honestly.Some student developer got stalked out of class by a navy cryptologist and now it's EVERYBODY'S FUCKING PROBLEM
>>577820095You probably need meds too but also to sort your life out.Routine wouldn't hurt ( it will at first )
>>577820676>maybe see if I can get a loandon't it's not worth it
>>577820953You could almost say it's the current shadow protocol
>>577820571>what are the criteria to be eligible?a functioning demo
>>577820971I'm also a bit skeptic about meds but in terms of routine I'm getting better and I'm on a 4 month streak of not rolling my sleeping schedule around which is an achievement I haven't had since high schoolThe downside is that I'm wasting 2 to 3 hours each evening just to prepare for sleep or else I can't fall asleep at a reasonable hour I just want to stay up and sleep when I'm sleepy
>>577821093What... What's a shadow protocol!?They went quiet for a whole MONTH. Okay? The game may as well have never existed. They're not waiting out the heat and hoping the memes don't stick because they're relatively nobodies.Because people would be mad if they found out they paid 400k for AI generated slop.You should probably go to bed. Don't you want to go to bed right now? Go to sleep.
will you have babes in your game that will be subject to incel masturbation?
>>577821639Yeah, if anything a problem is I enjoy making girl characters too much and struggle to make men
>>577821770Based problem to have.
>>577821639if my game doesn't stimulate anons agp then I've failed
I had no power last night, just me in the dark and my existential dread. I realized I want to make a tactics game before I die.
Why the fuck is ChatGPT accessing my game on itch?
Anons i want your opinions on a mechanic we're considering scrapping for a danmaku shmup in development.Currently it's like this;You have a "graze bar" at the bottom of the screen which fills up the more you graze bullets.If your graze bar is at at least 50%, if you press X, you bomb without having to use a bomb resource, and the graze bar will reset to 0% (you can still bomb using a bomb resource if you hold X instead of pressing it, this will not deplete your graze meter).If your graze meter reaches 100%, you get an extra life, and the meter goes back to 0%.The more lives you have, the more graze you need to reach 100% (similar to the life system in Zeroranger but using graze values instead of score values).The "design" here is what we internally refer to as "Danger Paper Mario Strats", where we incentivise the pro players to stay at a low life count so they can spam bombs to speedkill and get a bigger score multiplier (speedkilling makes the score multiplier go up faster and allows some minor speedrun tech), and meanwhile the casual survival players who don't bomb at 50% graze get to enjoy their extra lives.What do you think? We're considering scrapping the system and going for a more traditional bomb resource focus, we feel like the graze 50% bomb system is an innovative idea, but we fear it might be considered euroshmup by some (we're going for a combination of Zeroranger, Eschatos, and Touhou inspired gameplay, a 60% danmaku 40% shmup ratio, so we still want speedkilling popcorn to be a mechanic that is incentivised).
>>577822191saar
>>577822191someone searched for a game like yours and ChatGPT linked it
>>577821320>downside is that I'm wasting 2 to 3 hours each evening just to prepare for sleepthat is not wasted time
>>577822575As a game developer, it sounds like a good idea on paper. You have decent trade-offs and risk/rewards. But I don't play shmpus so I dunno how much my opinion is worth. At the same time remember that fun on paper isn't always fun in practice, why not implement it and see if it actually feels good for to you to play through? Code wise it doesn't seem like it should be too complicated, and just use placeholders for the UI. You can always disable the feature later if you don't want it. Sometimes it's faster to just speedrun the mistake and learn from it than to spend days thinking about which choice is the right one.
I've been thinking about getting different composers to provide the soundtrack for my game, making it Katamari-like where the soundtrack varies in genre. The issue is that I don't know how to approach that idea because we DO have a main musician on our game already and I don't want to make it seem like I'm completely dropping them altogether
>>577823241>stay awake 16 hours>spend 3 hours of that preparing to sleep>sleep 8Or>stay awake 18 to 20 hours>fall asleep almost instantly>sleep 8It sure feels like wasted time
>>577820029>>577820352Found more information and apparently it is looking like the projected revenue is over $1m USD.... It could be me getting that projected revenue but no, they beat me to it.
what other stealth action games play like MGS?
>>577823543I prefer having a stable routine with predictable well rested buff
>>577823560this is cope over things that didn't happenfinish your game and ship it
>>577822575how do you avoid getting more lives? what if you are just too good?
>>577823592Splintercell
Arbitrary state on entities now can automatically update and sync across clients and when an entities state is changed it triggers events for all clients (e.g door opening) using setters
>>577823892There's a 2 second window upon reaching 100% of the graze meter, in this 2 second window, if you die, it will count as if you already got the extra life (so you remain at the same amount of lives but still play the dying animation), but if you bomb (tap, not hold) within this window, then you will deplete your graze meter as usual.The idea here is that pro players will consider bombs to be more disposable, since they can be used strategically for routing and speedkilling.
>>577823636Pretty much the only time I don't sleep well is when I'm trying to force it by going to bed too early
>>577823662Say what you wish, it doesn't change the reality of my depressing situation. My stress is getting too high and my head hurts.
>>577824064ah right i didn't quite take it all in. I like the idea. would the meter be on the ship itself?
>>577824154I think that's a sign of autism
>>577824193you are stressing over things that are out of your control and things that you imagine would have happened in a different timelineit is all in your head you made up the source of the stress
>>577824340Bottom of the screen, it'll be a bar, but we're considering maybe changing it to be on the side HUD instead, or having one or the other be an option in the options menu maybe.
>>577824826I have trouble getting players to notice bars in a shmup-adjacent rhythm game I am making. they focus so much on the note/bullets that nothing else exists to them
Why are AI coded games from so many people so fucking sloppy and buggy?I've been solely using AI with no coding experience and havent had any bugs or issues. Are these people just telling the AI to make the entire game in one shot from start to finish? Cause I go step by step for each thing and dont move on till it works fine
>>577826140>Why are AI coded games from so many people so fucking sloppy and buggy?Because they're over relying on the AI. They're not thinking they're just telling the AI to do shit.

How do I improve my work ethic? Even seeing the potential success doesn't seem to be enough. It's like I have no faith in myself in pulling off this idea. I've already got one major system mostly done. A second major system is already in the process. I even have a personal deadline that is important to achieve. Yet I still end up slacking off. It's the hopelessness and doubt right? Or is it pure laziness? If I was transported 1 year into the future and see myself with a million in profit and then brought back, would I finally react differently? Would I need to see a future where delaying my game results in the game only making $50k to change my lack of work ethic?What is wrong with me? I know the idea will sell well as long as I pull it off right yet somehow I can't force myself to work! WHY!?
>>577828985stop being such a spineless tranime faggot

74 days left until I run out of money and even less time until I have to start looking for a job. I'm dreading job interviews.>Uh, I see in your resume you've been a game developer from 2018 to 2026. Decided to switch careers, huh? No, I'm afraid the manure shoveling job has been filled. We just wanted to meet you and have a little laugh. Good luck in your job search, though.Yesterday I was adding some UI sounds and fixing bugs. I don't know what I'll be doing today. I'll probably finally start on that procedural skybox thing. It's finally beginning to fit inside my brain.
>>577828703Tokyo was pretty incredible. I just found the situation they have made for themselves depressing. In my country we would never run trains at 200% capacity. That would cause riots. Japanese just quietly accept their terrible fate.

Honestly, this is now 100% certified kino.
>>577839271very nice, you're gmi
>>577839271you can't insist something is kino when it obviously isn't
>>577828985I can't tell if you're giving backhanded advice or not.
how do I market my game when I think it actually kind of suckskind of fucked up how low self esteem follows me into my creative works lolI get kind of jealous when I see someone enthusiastically shilling their games, especially if they look worse than minemy brain broken :(
>>577839424Mmmmm... Steamed Clams.
>>577843790Is the game actually bad though? Does it get any traction if you put your demo on itch or Steam? If it's actually bad then don't bother marketing it. Get the game to a point where it's good enough, put it on itch and move onto the next one. If you think it's bad but people seem to wanna play it then put in the effort to finish it proper and release it on Steam.
Best Regards,
Procrastination is a great way to get motivation to work on your game. Sometimes I make a mental list of all the things I would love to do tomorrow, like going outside for walks or going to the gym or reading a book or learning Japanese.Then I procrastinate all that by devving all day.I don't like that it works, but it works.

>>577845234kill yourself
>>577844259lowered inhibition strat... I'll keep that as a backup plan>>577844827I've gotten positive reception, but mostly from people who know me personally, so you can automatically toss their opinions out. The randoms who end up playing it leave absolutely no feedback, so I'm clueless as to what people actually think about it. Which is why I need to shill it more so I can get some real opinions. At this point, even negative feedback would feel better than absolute silence.
>>577845234love yourself
>>577846091Well go and try to get it out there. If you can't get any traction on it it's probably because people don't care which suggest either the game looks really bad or it is really bad.

I'm 100% convinced my side project idea will make me enough money to be able to work full time on my main gameBut I'm not projecthopping on general principles so if anyone wants the 100% GMI game idea, here it is:high fantasy medieval 3D MMO with survival mechanics
>>577824193You post like a woman
>>577828985You see the benefits of game development as something that will pay off in the future.You aren't actually enjoying the process itself so your brain is pulling you away from it. You need to find a way to enjoy it in the moment otherwise your hobby is actually a job. Which is fine if you can drag yourself through those, but you don't seem like the type that can.
>>577719970>anon during lunch break at his game studio in Japan talking with his team members about the next project
>>577811314Couldn't you just contract everyone rather than hire directly? Very easy to let go of people that way.
Just released my demo on steam. It'll be nice to finally get a second person to play it so someone can tell me if its dogshit or not
I didn't make any progress over the last few months. My depression got bad, and I didn't leave the house. I just played vidya all day to distract myself. But I'm back now.Going to work on my game. You may wish me luck.

>>577694504I have a Luck stat that kind of does the same thing in the RPG I'm working on and it works like your option 1.Also you can prevent save scumming by making the RNG composed of several deterministic generators and saving RNG state with the player's save data. Like you have a separate generator for if an attack hits, if an attack crits, charisma bullshit, whatever else uses randomness, so they never interfere with each other. Then you export the state of all random number generators when the player saves the game, and initialize them all to that state when that save data is loaded. Then if something doesn't go the player's way and they reset they'll get the same result.I did a lot of research on this when I was making a roguelike and was trying to prevent save scumming there.
>>577709523>Play game a little before work to playtest it on a blank slate brain>Work bullshit office job. If work isn't too busy do a little devving but it's been busy lately.>After work dev for 1-3 hours depending on what I have going on>On weekends try to get at least 4 hours in if possible, usually in the morning after the gym so I have the afternoon to run errands and do social stuffThe key is to do at least SOMETHING every day even if you only work on the game for like 30 minutes. If you train your brain to care about working on your game every day it gets easy, like studying, the gym, anything else.
right now there are 0 things going on in culture that i connect to. all games are meaningless.somehow only music still has some pieces that i can connect to, but all other forms of media seem to be so caught in their formulaic approach that it's meaningless filler content.

>>577854078The jam was started by Jargondev who got scared when someone was doxxing Aggy devs and left the community. Nothing to do with Betz and from lurking in their discord no one seems to have left their team and he keeps adding people for some reason.
should I pretend to have a wife and family so I can be a heckin wholesome gamedev and make feel good shill posts?I couldn't have done it without the support of my loving wife after all, who would encourage me every step of the way.
>>577854638I don't think so. Sounds a bit like the Terminator theme, but I don't know if that's what you had in mind.Beyond that, the flute sounds honestly directionless to me, like a weak try at improvisation.

>>577854638>will i get suedThere is legal precedent, at least in the US, that you can't really copyright a melody or chord progression. You'd only get jammed up if you directly sampled someone else's copyrighted audio without permission.Consumers might notice similarities though and think it's not good. But I listened to your track and can't really think of anything it sounds too much like so I think you're good.

It's pretty amazing how ChatGPT can show me how my KINO ai game is going to look, it could probably even generate the textures I tell it to from this image.
people pleasing is such a weird concept. why would someone skilled want validation from someone with 0 skills?also when i play a game i want the gamedev to take the responsibility, which means i want them to make good decisions and not blame me for "not knowing what i want".i don't go into a restaurant and the chef starts asking me how he should cook his food. he offers me some options and i pick one. i want 0 responsibility beyond picking an option.
>>577860969it's master bum...he loves his bum and kisses his bum...
You DID make proggy during downtime, right?
>>577861079I need to practice trenchbroom man, I want to make levels like this.
>>577694504go with this >>577756219what I normally don't like is if I'm doing a charisma character run, I want to see everything that playstyle has to offer, if it's purely percentage based then I can miss out on some of that stuff by pure chance.If you make it 100% if past a certain number it means pure charisma characters won't miss anything, but other players can still get some use out of it being a bit lower.
I relapsed...
every professional in every field talks about the importance of teamwork. and here i am, always wandering alone. but to be honest, how the fuck do you even find a team or job unless you live in a city with major game studios?maybe i should stop finding a team or projects and start to 100% only focus on portfolio maxxing!?
>>577861079>health meter in a stealth gamengmi
>>577861626What skills do you bring to the table?
>>577861626make a good game by yourself (clearly possible given how many good solodev'd games there are) and then if you still want to work with someone there will be a queue
>>577861626I can do literally everything but art and I still can't find a nigga to work with
>>577861690Forgot the health meter, what the is a stealth meter?
>>577861690
>>577861976light level maybe? both were in thief
>>577861976it's bad, but most games with "stealth" basically use an abstracted meter.>>577862121you're allowed to critique old games and say they did things wrong.Original Thief allowing for combat was a mistake.
>>577861079>no wealth meterlife of a brokie
>>577862392>Original Thief allowing for combat was a mistake.I think it was originally going to be a sword fighting game and they pivoted to stealth, they have a system where you can attack the left or right side of an enemy just by aiming
>>577861079>>577862392https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brJqHnXmpgE
>>577856724it's basically the terminator theme mixed with the marvel theme
>>577861626>friends>family>university peers>work colleaguesThese are basically the only groups you will ever get involved in projects that don't pay. And even then only family and friends are likely to work on anything without pay. You will not get strangers unless:>you have successful releases>you have a 10/10 prototype>you are well known as a good game dev>you are targeting a specific game's modding community and you happen to make niche kino that they are unwilling to mod into the current gameThere are no other options. Usually though the people that harp on about teams are project managers, a solo person can absolutely do everything themselves its just the time increase is usually not feasible. Finding good team's is difficult though every single company in the world struggles with finding and maintaining good teams.
>>577862506It was also Warren Spector, who notably complained and asked them to casualize it with combat options because he got filtered. And the devs told him to fuck off (somewhat), which is what inspired him to make Deus Ex.>>577862550yeah i need to play this again
>>577862392Nowadays you could basically add the difficulty option where guards will block every attack forcing you to run, Styx made it that on the hardest difficulty guards oneshot you and it was way more fun to play that way.
>>577863768Maybe, but too many stealth games turn into bad action games when they accidentally make stealth the worse option.
>>577862392>it's bad, but most games with "stealth" metermgs doesn't and it is the best stealth franchise

I have an idea for an MMO that is similar to The Matrix but so expanded upon it is original and not copyrighted.The MMO is primarily about Gangstalking (the theory that gangstalking is paranormal in origin btw) and Gnosticism. There are "Agents" like The Matrix and they are pursuing you and they are not human but look human. You do live in a simulation but not technological, but Gnostic/spiritual. The whole soul trap stuff and such.TLDR: spiritual version of The Matrix. The Matrix was about all that anyway but disguised as "machines" to be easier to understand.
>>577781590why was the sequel so fucking ASS though? I've seen it like a few months ago, kinda boring

>>577831868reeeotartedd neegaaaarrrrr faggkkettt
I like the idea of working with someone else on a project but there's basically no point in this age of AI where a solo dev can easily do the whole thing. Unless they are a top tier artist.I guess it would be good for staying motivated and holding eachother responsible, but idk if that's worth splitting revenue over.

there's a small line between a challenge and an annoyance, make sure your game has challenges, not annoyances.
so what's the game plan once you set up a steam pagedo you buy ads on fb/ig etc, do you shill your game on reddit etc, do you just let it somehow get discovered organically?

>AI placeholdersAre these acceptable provided they are changed at release?
>>577874057I will let it go undiscovered and in time it will be uncovered as a hidden gem
>>577874747No one would know, right? Unless you leave one in by accident like expedition 33 did lol
>>577874747let's be real you can't be assed to actually swap out all the placeholders
>>577874747the real cost is the corrosion it does to your human soul having to constantly look at the slop while you develop
>>577861079You could get away with using those textures without disclosing AI, if they're such low res any errors just look like stylistic choice
>>577874057Here's the real griftmaxx :Buy ads on FB/IG, start a podcast for short form media slop spam across multiple no-name AI game news channels (paid articles are a plus), post in as many subreddits as possible about how you have a history of "Training people to look for patterns", which looks suspicious once you start gangstalking anybody who gets in your way, become questionably pedophilic (not optional), get your game blacklisted and cry about it in slapfights that somehow happen every time 4chan goes down that the FBI is onto you for making too many Glorp jokes. Glowies fucking love chasing Aliens.

>>577883906>>577884429Modern graphics are over the top and try to be as detailed as possible when it's not needed. Gameplay takes a backseat a lot of the time as well.
How does Tim know when your UE game has made enough money that you have to pay?
>>577884736I think the same thing is happening to gaming as what happened to art once the camera was invented
While designing my MC I was thinking to myself “How do I make the most feminine character possible?”Then I realized I could just take the most masculine thing and do the complete opposite. So if the most masculine thing is a big strong man then the most feminine thing would be a delicate little girl.
Getting that early PS3 style of DoF to make it look more ethereal. Not sure if I like it though.

>>577884919>He doesnt know about Tim's 15% stake in PalantirRealistically there aren't that many games that make more than a million bucks. My guess is they just check to see what games are doing well and if they are made in unreal they check to see if you payed. They probably collect info on how many unique computers the game is intalled on too to make it easier. If you didnt pay they ask to see your finances and sue your ass if you cheated them or resufed to show proof you didnt
