>>578806490I look like and do this
he really did make a peepee poopoo level
>>578806490I'm making music for videogames for freesome tracks i did that appeared in some 4chan albums a few years agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiz8L0BXygwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO1w7BQWnZg
>>578806643do you do folk?
>make a model>fight with the uvs>spend a while texturing it>import it into godot>immediately find that it actually needs to be a different shape and designI really should block things out
>>578806761yep, can do.
Learning more about making assets and just found out about LOD, level of detail. Time to spend a bit more time learning that now.
>>578807554we use nanite now unc
Any good videos on learning good environmental/level design for RPGs?
>>578806593And spoilers an incest twist ending
Made a bat
>>578808312yes, Gothic 2
>>578806150kek
>>578806643How about you pay me to use it? $2500 per song.
>>578807614This is a Christian board, we use Unity here.
>>578808462Hey Tomo.
>>578808453I like this little fella
>>578808953Even Godot has auto-LODs. Unity is the only one of the major engines without.
>>578809138you just make the auto LODS in blender in one click
>>578806643>"rainbow, black sabbath and dio are my speciality, what's the game about? futuristic, fantasy, etc?"Fantasy adventure with combat resolved through a Yahtzee-style dice system. It takes place a few weeks after the original 1993 game: Sunny'na explores the ruins of Black Silvia's castle, activates a strange magical device, and is transported far from home to the island kingdom of Marotte, which has also been conquered by Black Silvia's dark-elf army. There she joins Princess Mamestria Brascienne and her small resistance in trying to liberate Marotte from the occupation.I also have a pet theory that the original composer may have been influenced by Rainbow - parts of the original field theme sound uncannily close in feel to the fast keyboard/guitar section of A Light in the Black.I have two goals:1. Fill in the missing music tracks that were absent from the 1993 game.2. Create heavy metal covers of this new music.I'll be submitting a demo with a fully playable tutorial/prologue in the next ADGD demo day, codex clocks it in at 50-60 minutes of gameplay/story.Please give it a try and then reach out to me via itch.io if you think you'd be interested.https://kritzinger.itch.io/
>>578808453hey man, that's an awesome bat. keep up the good work.
My game is so vibecoded that even the name matches another vibecoded game that's almost identical. I heckin' love AI.
Ok yes I use AI art but you know what? I'm gonna make the most of it and have an insane amount of unique assets to make up for it.
made a little placeholder asset for my vroomer game so i dont have to look at a box all day
>>578810527>his placeholder mogs my whole game
>>578810096based and protocol pilled

>>578806490nortubel 2 leak:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrfeOFRIrro
I have the winning strategy for my kof hack.To make the game from scratch using mugen sprites and hitboxes and AI agents.
Is it worth making a really small scoped (NES platformer level) game to break my habit of never finishing anything?
why are there no good fucking pixel fonts REEEEEE
>>578814581if the scope is small and it won't help much with finishing larger projects. I finished dozens of small 'nes' games and then spent years spinning my wheels on a 3d game. if you are making a mini-game collection it would help though! warioware, rhythm heaven etc.
>>578811323she's so pretty...
>>578814654make one
>>578814581Yes, but pick a game jam with a short deadline (2 weeks max) and do it for that. You need the external pressure.
>>578753308Website to see this? Im very curious. Some of these countries really have dumb laws eg BiteMe having to post their address,
Thoughts on lighting and the torch sprites? I get its not optimal but I really dont want to get into modeling for torches
>>578808453<_< alright sauce me, how do I make a bat like this, texturally speaking. It's about the only idea that keeps popping up in my mind for an enemy
>>578815845also I just realized the NPC sprites aren't reflecting the lighting at all, ignore that
>>578815845you should get the flames animated and the do the "+" trick where you duplicate the sprite and rotate it 90 degrees, do you know that trick? games use it for grass and shit all the time.
>developed a good workflow for generating art that is consistent and doesn't look like AI slop>still requires a lot of work on my part to clean it up>paranoid the anti AI chuds will spot something, call me out and cancel mefuck bros is this what discrimination feels like
>>578816616hmm I do not but I'll try to look it up
>>578817964join the cris art workflow.
>>578810715you can do it anon do your best
>>578817964Take the Salem pill and accuse other first in the hopes of decreasing the chances you accused.(Or just own it, ai chuds will hail you as a hero if it looks remotely good and gamer boycotts are a joke.)
>>578817964I don't use AI for content, only code/UI, but this must be what the jews felt like in nazi germany. the AI disclosure is the star of david on our arm bands. I've seen devs with a tiny hint of AI use get dragged into black vans. I'm devving from my attic for now. stay safe out there.
>>578817964Just use it and don't even acknowledge it. Trying to defend yourself instantly gives you away but there are a lot of games that have blown up that are obviously AI with no disclosure and the people calling them out look like schizos to normal gamers.
>>578818289might be called 'axial billboard'
>>578814654make one like anon saidhttps://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/this site is what I used to make mine and I've gotten tons of use out of it
>>578816616>>578818935Oh wait I had done this already not knowing the name, but the problem is the handle/holder for the torch would rotate with it and look stupid which is why I made it fixed, and I had considered making just the torch rotate and keep the handle fixed but figured that would look stupid/be more distracting
>>578816004Super simple model and very simple texture. Texture was mostly done by drawing hard colors and details, and then using the smudge tool to blend it all in together (less so on the finer details like the face, but still slightly smudged) and then use the sharped tool around specific edges for definition.
>>578817964>>developed a good workflow for generating art that is consistent and doesn't look like AI slop>>still requires a lot of work on my part to clean it up>>paranoid the anti AI chuds will spot something, call me out and cancel me>fuck bros is this what discrimination feels like
>>578817964Just do low poly 3D with photo bashing ("PSX") textures like tons of games do now. Easy shortcut, plus gamers are in love with it anyway.
>>578819382if you just make it vertical/remove the handle, you can do normal billboards.
>>578819786>remove the handleWait that's genius, thanks anon
>>578817964It has never been harder to be a game developer.
>>578819160this is awesome thanks. nta
>>578819629lovely post. nta but do you do this right in blender or outside?
>>578820335unironically true.
>>578820335It's easier than ever to game dev for me. Programming always stopped me and it's not an issue now.I am skilled in art though which helps.
>>578820558I use 3ds max and paint it in photoshop on the UV map texture. It would probably be simpler in a lot of ways to paint directly on the model in 3dmax, but meh.
>>578819629We are witnessing a pro at work.
>>578819629Thanks anon, seems helpful for the 3D stuff I want to do some day.
>>578823170>some day.you mean tonight, and you will post your struggles here and we will help you through them
>>578819629How annoying is it having to make a texture map and then applying it to the model itself? Like how do you even know the needed proportions?
>>578817964Have you considered practicing art and making your own?
>>578823361v_v the last time I did 3D stuff was like 2019/2020. Anyways, I'm going through a mire of code right now, I am not about to stop and come back 3 months later with no clue what I was doing here. Best I finish that first.
>>578823534unc cringe
>>578823778ok fair 'nuff
>>578823962>unc cringe
I went outside yesterday and my whole body aches
>>578808453>>578819629wonderful work anonI've been working on my own creature with bat wings
>>578823374You make the UV unwrap first and then draw on it. You can export the wireframe of the UV as an image so you know where to draw if you're doing it outside the modeling software. Of course you can adjust the UVs after or during texturing if you need to.
>>578823962Do zoomies have souls?
>>578814980she used to be a camwhore and tried very hard to scrub that part of her life
>>578823374Well you Unwrap the model first by segmenting it into parts. So you can see which quad correlates to the quad on the UVMap. Then once that part is done, I take that UVmap into photoshop, and simply draw over it.

>>578815845The statue looks off. If you're gonna AI slop your billboarded sprites they're gonna look all sorts of off. >>578819382>and I had considered making just the torch rotate and keep the handle fixed but figured that would look stupid/be more distractingI was gonna post that you should try that but you want a vertical standing torch like Daggerfall's >>578819786 or you'd need multiple angles of it to not make it look all weird.
>>578818615kikes are actually evil but you're not hurting anyone by using AI
>>578825165Does the model get updated live in 3ds max? Blender is annoying af and you have to update the material manually.
>>578825171kys kike
>>578825439I just want to be frens.
>>578825365>Does the model get updated live in 3ds max?I have to save the file in photoshop and then just click the viewport in max to update it, so it's pretty easy with Ctrl+S + clicking max viewport.
>>578825174>The statue looks off.In what way exactly? It's a training dummy so it's an intractable NPC not a environmental object. The stand may look off but it's supposed to be a sun dial because it's a magical object that casts time magic to repair itself so you have an unbreakable training dummy>I was gonna post that you should try that but you want a vertical standing torch like Daggerfall'syeah gonna do the standing torch thing, daggerfall is actually my main inspiration (visually at least, I actually never played it gameplay wise) so I should have thought to check how it handled it
>>578825319I'm hurting the devs who are not using AI. They are getting left behind.
>>578825856how did they get that down the little hole in the floor leading to the basement?
>>578824680>>578825165I see, very informative, thanks.>>578825365Ugh am I gonna have to pay for 3D software too? I remember blender sucking big time.
>>578826048Does the hole seem small? I figured this was regular basement hole sized for an adult to comfortably get through, also the basement isn't done yet but it's going to have some books and crafting stuff down there, the dial was built by the MC's mom since she's a time mage/worshiper of the time god
>>578825856The projection in the art makes it look like it's standing on the bottom edge of the disc. It is also very clearly AI slop.
>>578808453This bat is really fucking cool anon.Also>tell friend I want to start making games, that I was trying godot tutorials>only starting to learn how the syntax is>asks if I'm serious>reply that I'm trying to learn>sends me a message at 8 in the morning asking if I want to game jam with him>he also invites my bro who was trying to learn on a few different engines>I have specifically mentioned that I am like an embryo in an egg right now in terms of experience and he knows I'm retarded>He is fine with thisOkay I guess I have no choice but to learn how to make game
>>578826436>The projection in the art makes it look like it's standing on the bottom edge of the discActually not sure what you mean by that> It is also very clearly AI slop.It do be AI
>>578826460Jams aren't a bad environment to learn. Especially when done with other people. You might pick up a bunch of tips and tricks and you have someone to ask when you need help. Though of course nowadays you can just ask AI and it has a pretty good answer most of the time.
>>578826460The world could always use another idea guy.
AI can already one shot game engines with assets.wtf bros.
>>578826576>Actually not sure what you mean by thatWhen you move in the game world and how the sprite aligns on the floor. >It do be AIYou are supposed to make it look like it's not.>>578825856>but it's supposed to be a sun dial because it's a magical object that casts time magic to repair itselfIf you want this then it might be better to separate the disc into a sprite that is on the floor like the rug here >>578826334 and then have the training dummy standing on top of it on a stick. That ways the sprite has the correct pivot with the stick on the ground.
>>578826598Yeah, I guess him and his friends would basically take an idea, build on it, and then pass it to the next for a bit (like a week or so). For my brother and me he's looking to do it for just a weekend or a day on a weekend per swap, though right now he's moving into a house so it gives me a month to try and learn things to be not completely dead weight, though he has access to the old game files of his friends which he wants to use to help us understand different concepts, so that's neat.>>578826748I'm hoping to not remain an ideas guy, though it is for the selfish reason of wanting to build a particular game that is near and dear to my heart.
>AI can one shot [existing game, but worse]
>>578826835Looks like shit
>>578826862>When you move in the game world and how the sprite aligns on the floor.I think I know what you mean, I made it so the sprite doesn't move vertically now, just horizontally>You are supposed to make it look like it's not.Nigga if I had any artist talent or passion I wouldn't be using AI in the first place>If you want this then it might be better to separate the disc into a sprite that is on the floor like the rug hereProblem with that is I want the dial included in the battle, I think you're referring to the perspective of the back of the dial looking weird cause its lifted and I tried to adjust that with the AI but it won't listen and I think its good enough, I've accepted the art isn't going to be perfect and the game/writing will do most of the liftingThat being said I think this is a pretty big improvement thanks to the thread, the torches look way better
Explain how testing works. I know my game runs well on my machine, but how do I really know it runs on yours at all without buying a new PC? There's six million configurations. How do I find legit min/rec specs?
>>578830372I would ask AI to generate a few more angles for the dummy sprite to switch to as you move around it. a classic technique used as far back as doom etc. except they had clay models they took photos of at different angles.
>>578830717ask your mom if you can try it on her laptop. steam has a hardware survey you can look at too.
>>578806490https://itch.io/jam/v3expos-world-famous-game-jam-2The v3jam is October 4th-10th! So far we have (16) signups.

>win $100>give it to gabe>don't meet min threshold for payouts
>>578830786I'm gonna add a back and front sprite now that you mention it, I think the AI will struggle with sides though
>>578831861depends on the AI. nano banana 2 seems capable. might not be super consistent, but who will actually notice?
>>578832032>but who will actually notice?anyone who's ensouled will immediately clock the slop for what it is
>>578830717>How do I find legit min/rec specs?you bullshit it
>>578832108but they will clock the game anyway and not even reach the dummy
>>578830902mechanic suggestion: being a parasite of a community while monetizing their work with gambling sponsors
>>578834603good idea
>>578818918>there are a lot of games that have blown up that are obviously AI with no disclosure and the people calling them out look like schizos to normal gamers.Reviews: mixedAlso look at the incredible gaslighting you use to cope with reality.>there are games with OBVIOUS AI SLOP but if you point it out YOU LOOK SCHIZO to "normal" gamersDisgusting lmao
I'm using this as the core of my build system. The idea to split the layout (snap points) fro mthe mesh should make adding new items easier
>>578830902Do we seriously have to hear about your 4 entry gamejams for 3 months everyday before the actual jam? Couldn't you be spending this time growing your channel so devs who submit their game to your expo can be exposed to more than 200 live viewers?
https://excalidraw.com/#json=0fwxYRLivGT_WxJQYqQj4,sQKsJZ9jlHz9FDd88BB-UAAlso this is a WIP overview (just started creating the document, so a lot of things isn't documented yet even tough I have it working, like SmartObject, AI, inventory, etc..)Curious for feedback
>>578836392Also 100 of those viewers are the devs themselves. So when you submit your game to v3 maybe 20 actual gamers from /v/ will catch it when it airs.
>>578836392https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LAkqChWgnE
>>578836469I wish I had known enough to do shit like this at the start of my gameits a fucking mess in there I tell ya
Reminder it's almost 2027 and sloppers are still scared of getting caught lmaoAlso still not a single vibecoder has gotten past early prototypes. I thought we were gonna be left behind and replaced?
>>578807303no
>>578818403Cris unlocked the power of AI months ago.Still no game. In fact it appears to have demoralized him. RIP chicuelas
>>578836469Its probably more useful at this point to map out the overall architecture of the project and then get into specific class member variables etc after you've locked in a design. Even if its just a simple flow diagram, it will help you much more than essentially duplicating the programming in block diagram form. You should also have a look at UML (plantuml or plaintext uml) to map these things out because its very easy to make changes, its text based and if you're a slopper then your AI can process this document and create boiler plate code of your entire design. Its also generally pretty good CV fuel
>>578836687there was one.. what was the name of that game that was like hotline miami from this general? something shot? idk. anyway, his latest shipped game is full on vibe coded(looking) default AI UI and everything.
>>578808453>>578819629maam fuck this ive been trying to mofel and texture for weeks and this guy just makes literally anything and it shits all over what I do
>>578836469I am seeing a lot of over-engineering. This is relatively common in clone projects, while you're copying RW's architecture, you're simultaneously copying RW's rough feature set.Start with a prototype to figure out the type of game you want to make and apply YAGNI.Then make a GDD for your MVP./Then/ make a design flowchart.
>>578837398Because of the Pawn term?It does have similarities with Rimworld, yes. Basically a mix between Conan Exiles, Rimnworld and Mad Island.I do want NPC relationships and agency, but I'm not trying to copy Rimworld.That said, one thing I'm mulling about is the EffectsManager. I figured one class being reponsible for monitoring and updating all of them would be efficient given a smaller population, rather than having every NPC have it's own effect manager or have every effect manage itself.
Begun working on the hardware concept for my fantasy console. Will be 16 bits.
>>578838461oh great, this episode again
What is a workflow anyway? just the order in which you do stuff?
>>578838691specifically how you do things to create X
At the rate this game is developing, the next Unity LTS will probably release before my game does. The question then becomes whether it is worth moving over to it.
>>578838691The parts of your creation process that are not product specific
>>578838881
>>578838651>againThis is a Premiere though?
>>578838954you're just the new actor they replaced the old one with
>>578838881moving? what? you never move your project to a new version unless there's some new tech your game NEEDS(there likely isn't).
>>578837687If you're interested in out performing rimworld then you should look at using unity dots and designing the game with an ECS stack instead. Unity dots does this under the hood but if you design it properly you could have 100k entities bowling around all with their own buffs/debuffs with little fps drop.The only changes to your design currently would be that you'd have an effects systems (poison system, bleed system etc) and you'd pass in the relevant arrays by reference. Such that:>poison_system( const array& p_flags_array, array& hp)>movement_system(array &pos, array &vel, const float dt) Then you also get the benefit of using sparse and dense arrays when feeding this into the system. Its a little bit different to the standard class based design but the fps improvements are immense.
>>578837687Your game is doomed from the start if your best description is "a mix of 3 different games".Tell me something about the scope of your game. Tell me something about the core gameplay loop.If you can't, then scrap the flowchart and stick to prototyping.
>>578839004Perhaps it is because you're always the same audience.
>>578838691If you write down a tutorial on how to do something exactly as you would do it, that tutorial would be your workflow. In fact that's what tutorials are in a game, it's showing the player the workflows to upgrade their character and keep track of quests and stuff.
there is an agdg dev who has given gabe $2600. 26 games. just why?

Betz. Little buddy.Your expo gets 10 views.
>>578841063youtube is changing how views work so expect the next one to get more
>>578841163See what amazes me is that everytime you are encouraged to grow your channel you have some kind of comeback or excuse like this. Just... grow your channel little buddy. It's not cute to run a struggling expo for 5 years in a row. At some point you should consider actually making it successful. What I see is a betz 4 years from now who is still making excuses for why his expo isn't bigger and just saying "it's just for fun" but also constantly mentioning how he is "losing money" spending for ads and stuff. All because you can't listen to constructive criticism. But you're more than happy to tell someone to change their main character.
>>578841397you're a nigger
>>578840505I mind all my children.
>>578841397>All because you can't listen to constructive criticism. Oh don't get me wrong I'm all for constructive criticism. Your "constructive criticism" is just telling me "grow the channel bro lol" and then getting butthurt when I don't immediately grovel at your feet for coming up with the most 300 IQ idea.
>>578823534Those days are over, I was thinking about this earlier. New game devs are not bothering to actually learn to make games or game assets they are all going straight to the shortcuts and crashing out. The value of real devs who can make a real playable game and publish it is only increasing the more AI keeps trapping new devs.
>>578840019It's that one anon isn't it, the one who pumps out games super fast, well until he made that one Persona like game (i assume it is persona like idk if it actually is)
>>578842012put your trip on
>>578842012Hey betz your last game jam got like 400 views and yet you're going to keep pushing the halloween one for months instead of promoting your channel instead. Why?
Damn why is it so hard to get consistent 2-4 sprites of animation from gemini
>look up Brannos game>tfw it has more followers than my game on thereOwari da
>>578817964Cris, my friend. You're in a very privileged position where you NEVER have to worry about people cancelling your game.Isn't that wonderful?
>>578842042yeah. rpg maker games mostly
>>578842168>Why is AI so inconsistent and shittyGee, I don't know anon.
>>578842226party died again? he does have a following on youtube and healed to death that helps boost those numbers. mine has less followers than surface breaker.
>>578842168>animationgive it a stickfigure to adhere to
>>578842125You realize that I'm not trying to grow "the channel" right? "The channel" is just the place where v3Expo lives. We're currently in the off season. So what do you do to keep the name "v3Expo" in people's minds considering that A) we're not doing a winter show and B) we don't really have any sort of off season content to promote?Besides if I were trying to grow "the channel" you'd accuse me even more of taking sponsorships, stealing people's games/trailers or "not being a part of /agdg/" or some other thing I didn't mention. Your talking points are tired out.
>>578842464
>>578842464>We're currently in the off season.Seems like a good time to focus on growing your channel. Instead you want to just keep posting about the halloween jam everyday for 3 months. To a small insular group of people who are actually fatigued from you by now. Very fygoon coded behavior.
All this seems very gay

Having cool big zone objects that tell your game what to do is so awesome. https://files.catbox.moe/ey7wg4.mp4Have some dungeon crawling with manually spawned enemies whenever I wanted to play with things. Knockback can sometimes send guys out of walls for now, but explosions can catch them, so it's okay. Combat can begin and end arbitrarily and everything behaves appropriately.

>>578849219>check dragon game on steam>Banned after nearly 900 hours for speaking the truth on my main acc .I loved this game and invested almost 900 hours into it and multiple accounts with over 150+ hrs, but the development has become an absolute joke. Years ago, the developers raised over $533,000 from 12,000+ backers on Kickstarter to bring this project to life. Instead of focusing on core gameplay, fixing game-breaking bugs, and optimizing the engine, the lead developer is busy pushing merchandise campaigns and making derpy plushies via Makeship to milk the remaining player base.The optimizati...damn some shit went down but I have deving to do so idk
>>578849562>How do you find them irl?Local gamedev events.
>>578844319>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2anY9ICA-PgHere's the short he got it from. This is interesting. A strict adherence to the marble bag idea essentially removes luck from the randomness. This could be very useful in certain situations but also lead to bad feels in others. Using crit as an example if you have that 25% crit, 2 crit marbles and 6 non crit marbles. Once you crit twice in a row you have to wait for the bag to empty. You can only crit thrice in a row if the last two marbles were crit and then the first one on the new bag is a crit. I'd say for most games that feels pretty shitty. 25% is high enough crit that you'd expect to see 3 crits in row somewhat frequently. Of course if you increase the amount of marbles you can tune how much something can happen in a row but it also increases the potential bad streaks in length which would feel bad. Branno's idea to reset the bag after x marbles is neat too. It adds some randomness back into the system and produces a wider variety of results while giving the designer some control over that randomness. Definitely make a tool to calculate the numbers if you're gonna do it this way. It needs to be fine tuned for every use case separately. I would even add a visual representation so it's easier to see what happens in practice.

>>578847535Your doomer remarks about your game are getting kind of annoying. Why are you making something you know will flop? That's a form of self harm.Are you even showing the game to other people and getting feedback? For some people, self destruction and self sabotage is an addiction. They do things they know will fail, or avoid doing things they know they have to do, because subconsciously they crave having tragedy in their life. I think gamedev has attracted tons of people like this. They love to suffer.

>>578848926This happened to me though the game wasn't that big.My game was half the price of theirs and though I didn't do it on purpose I definitely got some sales because people were searching for theirs.The other game was made first but it was made in another country and they didn't copyright the name. As soon as I noticed the problem I copyrighted my game's name. They sent me a cease and desist and I told them to fuck off since I had the copyright.They eventually dropped their game's price to be the same as mine kek

>>578852065tell that to betz dude
I'll do it. I'll make a game. You'll see.
Betz please just look at how itch.io does jams. https://itch.io/jamsYou can't even see jams that are coming in October right now because nobody cares. Nobody cares about gamejams that are months away. They are supposed to be fun events that gamedevs can decide to join or not maybe the week it begins, but nobody is sitting here all summer waiting for your October halloween gamejam. You can stop talking about it everyday. Work on growing your youtube channel that you spend money to advertise on 4chan.
I've been here for years and I still don't know who Betz is and why he matters
>>578849826Thanks for the advice. I looked up local gamedev events, saw some of the people attending and they looked insufferable. Just gonna stay friendless.
>>578852217>nobody is sitting here all summer waiting for your October halloween gamejamI am.
>>578851880
>>578848806>Months>Jam is the first week of October>We are in the last week of August There's maybe a singular month's worth of time you're acting like hes promoting his summer show in present day. Also reading his shill posts it's clear he's talking about it now for the oncoming modifiers vote.
>>578852447kekkypow betz posted this himself
>>578852315Same. No idea who Cris, fygoon, or Betz is. I see their names typed a lot. I've only gathered that people hate them and that's about it. Couldn't tell you who they are, what games their making, or what they did wrong.
>>578852481Sorry, meant for >>578852217. Hope you find your friends cause you won't find them here.
It's a great way to end up with 60 people signed up to a jam and 2 actual games submitted. Nobody is committing to a gamejam that they signed up for 2 months ago. They will just shrug and say oh yeah I forgot about that. Not doing it.

>>578853060turdies be like
Start with painting.
So many fucking indie games are the same shit because those devs have no interest in making a game they just want to slap their art onto a game and stand out off that alone so they picked finished formula genreswe need more games focused on the mother fucking GAME and less on the fucking VIDEO part
>>578852690looking great, good job!

>>578852754Really? Because I can't find any mention of it before the beginning of the month. And two months of talking and shilling is normal.
>>578853317Ok, I give you permission to make them.
>>578853119No thanks, not giving you anymore views for something enough people already saw. Keep gaslighting though.
>>578853317That's why incrementals are hot. They are pure condensed gameplay.
>>578853229very powerful bait
>>578853436Advertising halloween events months before halloween is not normal. It's just easier than doing something actually productive like growing a youtube channel.Keep gaslighting. Can't get enough of your infinite supply of gaslighting.

It's good to have info on the jam in most threads this early, because I don't spend all day every day in this shithole
Guys halloween is basically next week. Stop whining and let king betz cook. He is the king of agdg and /v/ gamedev you know. If you are a gamedev on 4chan you should already know who officially runs this community. It's daddy betz, creator of a webcomic nobody has ever read. Keep noticing things and you will be banished from his Discord KINGDOM >>578842717
>>578854012Imagine being this incapable of just admitting that october is still a long time from now.
normal job: having to care about getting your shit together for 6 hours a day, 2 days completely freegamedev (pre-success): having to care wtf to do next 24/7technically you could have work times for gamedev too, the thing is, worktime only feels like worktime if you actually get paid 100%.
>>578854428I work 15 hours a day on my game. gamedev makes you insane.
Betz samefags, gaslights and argues about every little thing. It's amazing.
>>578848952very nice progress anon. I like the music
I want to join the jam anonymously. can I just send you an .exe to run?
>>578853012What jam is that?
>>578854562may I see it?
>>578853317>>578853821I'm curious. What do you have in mind for making a "gamier game"? How do you plan to achieve this without studying existing games? What exactly are you going to do different than the people you complain about?

>>578859497You said his family members names betz. Shutup already. Tired of you.
>>578859383One time I got blamed for a virus on our internal network. Apparently I opened an e-mail from a coworker containing a virus and it spread from there, or something like that? I don't know how that's my fault, but I was let go quickly afterwards.>>578859497I think people found Fygoon's identity and photos on IG, but he didn't even try to hide who he was.
>>578853609>>578853821Incrementals are interesting when they are trying something different but when it's just yet another clone of some mildly successful incremental game I sleep. >>578856261Nta but I think there needs to be more complex games. A lot of indies have been streamlining towards this almost-mobile game feel where the systems are dumb simple and the gameplay follows the exact same structure as so many other games. For example the pick from three reward structure. So many games don't even allow you to expand the choices to 4+ or give you any reasonable way to control the rng. Another that disgusts me is the roguelite node map. Any game that has that shit is showing its developers' lack of imagination.
>>578858780Pick the 3 most promising ones in terms of scope and your ability to make them and loop back through them. When you get bored of one start working on the second and then the third and then go back to the first one.
>guys fygoon said it was cool that I threatened his mom in the thread>guys fygoon said it was okay that I stole his game and put his pictures in our gamejam stream without his permissionSo weird how he does this. Even if fygoon said it was cool, it's not. Stealing people's games, putting pictures of them from IRL in your gay stuff to laugh at... namedropping their family members. This is what you do to gamedevs who annoy you, and you're trying to build some kind of community of gamedevs? No thank you. Won't be joining anything v3 related.
>>578859891>putting pictures of them from IRL in your gay stuff to laugh atThat was hilarious, keep malding. I should put a Fygoon easter egg in my game.
Guys I only put your games in an advertisement for gambling websites as a joke. Yes you gave me your game trailers to be featured in an expo, and I instead used them as an advertisement for gambling websites. Isn't that a funny joke?

I don't want people to play-test my game before it's finished
>>578866315thats ok if youre fine with making a bad game
>>578865265how can anyone defend the grifter after seeing those
>>578866279Everything is a legal matter with him, with loopholes and gotchas and technicalities. Truly an exhausting specimen.
>>578851150TBRUSH needs attention
>>578866528it's just kike behavior learn to recognize it, ostracize them and spread the truth so other people learn
>>578866462I will playtest it with my friendsI recognize that its more efficient to find bugs if you have 100 of playtesters but I dont want that
>>578866728friends and family are not playtesters unless they are autistic.
>>578866315I told Claude to create smoke tests for my game. When I deploy a new system, I tell him what has been added and he makes a new playtest and comes up with bugs and improvements.
>>578866843does ADHD count?
>>578866517it's just betz samefagging
>>578866947Classic sloppa delusions.
>>578866843backing up what this anon saysgetting my friends to playtest is like pulling fucking teethfamily members seem like they're playing just to appease me, which is gaySubmit that shit to demo day and then you have a number of autists who are willing to playtest and give you feedback
Anyone who claims AI is playtesting their game is extremely schizo or just plain lying.
>>578867141>join demo day>betz or some other schizo starts stalking youpass
>>578865976Yeah, if you ever work with others there'll always be some waiting unfortunately. Speaking of, I need to finish this fucking script already before the deadline lmao
>>578867141Im the artist for our game (2man team)problem is Im worried the feedback will 99% suck. That was my experience with art. most people dont have a clue what theyre talking about, especially not other artists. A lot of people just want to bring you down.
>>578867345>mfw I'm testing my whole tutorial using AI right nowUnit testing and a good API make this so easy.
>>578867571grow some balls
>>578867141>family members seem like they're playing just to appease meThat's because they are. You're guilting them into playing a bad, unfun game that no one wants to play. If you made a game anyone actually wants to play, finding random playtesters out in the wild would be easy.>>578867571>99%Have you considered that maybe they're right and you're wrong?>noMany such cases.
>>578867882>Have you considered that maybe they're right and you're wrong?I knew that was comingThey shit on my most successful art, that got 10k+ retweets and was favourited by my favourite artistsalso I used to post good art from obscure artists in /ic/ and they'd shit on it for no reason if I claimed it was mine. Then one anon recognized that it was from a very successful artist and the thread went silent
>>578867571Yeah, you just have to grow a thicker skin and try not to take that shit personallyJust remember all the times you shitposted about a game's art direction, called it dumpster trash, wished the devs would drown in a river and just giggle because now you're on the other sideNot all feedback is equal either, sometimes they make a good point but other times they can be pants on head retarded. You gotta filter out the bullshit and take the good info
>>578867571Leave a comment on your submission or in the description with specific feedback questions you want answered. If left to their own devices testers will just say "good" or "bad" without elaborating mostly. I did this in a couple DDs and about half of the people that left a comment actually answered my questions, which is better than nothing.
>>578867998Post something, whether yours or not, and let's see.
>418 replies>only 5 progress postsPost progress.
>>578867345You could not fathom how far behind you are. Probably don't even understand a model vs a harness.
>>578868209Im confident now so I dont need approval/feedback anymore>>578868108>>578868137yeah but I guess im just too lazy for that. asking specific questions might be a thing id do perhaps

>>578868353last time I posted progress within 24 hours all my family got messages on social media telling them I'm a 4chan nazi. getting doxxed so easily was scary but on the plus side my family started inviting me to family gatherings.
>>578868353I did post progress. My progress is that I decided to give up.
>>578868547what if my game just doesnt have bugs :)
>>578868642I can give you some of mine?
>>578868575KEK
>>578867630>Unit testingFavorite buzzword for sloppers. Never any examples of it ever actually being used either I noticed. You just say these standard dusty software engineering terms and leave it at that.Such things are irrelevant for a game developer, who needs to be playing their actual game, not just testing single features in isolation.
>>578868749thankstruthfully because were using GM I think there'll be plenty of bugs. we already fixed some and we barely started
>>578868912It's to catch regressions for low level stuff you don't want to keep testing over and over again
>>578868912you need to do every kind of testing you can
>>578868393You are not on the cutting edge leaving everyone behind. You were sold on the fantasy and refuse to face reality. >I bet you don't know what these basic things are Again, that's because you have an insecurity complex and want to believe you are on the cutting edge for simply knowing about LLMs. Everyone who has looked into AI knows what a harness is.
>>578868575a kike scamming, say it ain't so!
>>578869079>It's to catch regressions for low level stuff you don't want to ke-ZzzzzzzzzzzzYou do not need a chatbot to test your low level stuff in your game. Do you even have a game?Doubtful.
>>578866947None of this is true.This website is plagued by literal bots shilling with nonsense like this. It's so weird too because are we really supposed to say 'wow I can do unit tests with AI? here is my $200'.
Claude set the HP to 1000 when it play tested my game. Fucking cheater.
Battle AI is mostly working. Pic is AI vs AI for testing.Thanks for reading my plog. See you guys on demon day !!!
Guys I told Claude to smoke test my new deployments and he came up with bugs and playtest fixes to automate my growth curve. I am a game developer. Give Anthropic $20 today.

>>578871374this isnt /v/
>>578871449Game engines for that feel?
>>578866294Case in point. He's been whining about one of his voice actresses "disappearing". What he doesn't know is she's been going around telling the real story to some people (myself included, we talk) about how he's been harassing her for nudes and treating to leak her information out if she didn't comply. He'll deny it, but it's the truth. There's a few of us working on a case to bring to the public to finally finish off Betz once and for all.
>>578871374wtf kanna is a gamedev teacher???
>>578871221Literally just show an example where you do a "smoke test" or "unit test" with AI for your game.You can't, because it's not real. It's chatbots advertising right in your face. And you're scared to even notice it because you don't want to be a luddite lmaocvcked by bots.
>>578859701>A lot of indies have been streamlining towards this almost-mobile game feel where the systems are dumb simple and the gameplay follows the exact same structure as so many other games. For example the pick from three reward structure.>Another that disgusts me is the roguelite node map.These are all1. Proven to be fun for the player. 2. Extremely easy/cheap to implement. It's perfect for indie devs. Any more than 3 choices would be too many choices. It would feel cluttered and give player analysis paralysis. (And also forcibly increase your item pool as well.) 3 is the perfect sweet spot. Things become standard for a reason. Look at console controllers, they looked vastly different from each other in the early days but eventually gravitated towards nearly the same functional design. Same with car shapes. You are fighting progress and evolution itself.
AI is very useful and saves me a lot of time and does some things I don't know how to do like write shaders.I also haven't paid a cent for AI and I don't intend to. But my thanks to everyone who's paying so I can use it for free.
>>578871374Look at the kind of psychopaths who try to infiltrate gamedev communities online and it's not hard to imagine how they would end up as faculty in schools like that.
>>578871573>about how he's been harassing her for nudes and treating to leak her information out if she didn't complyproof? why not just tell his wife?
>>578871573>>578872042This is called flooding the zone. By creating fake stories about himself, betz can imply that all the other things we already know are true are also just made up. He has attempted this method numerous times.Ignore.
>>578872042I can't share my proof yet. You'll have to wait for the expose document.
>>578871779It's hilarious how you will be completely wiped out and don't even realize it. Stay "comfy" while you can.
>>578872414>someone makes a sensible rebuttal to your statements>go full schizo shortcircuitlolLet me guess. AI user?
>>578872414You're the one who will get left behind the by the times, old man. You either ride the wave or drown in it.
>>578871573True or not, why would anyone care if this is happening? Since when do anons care about #MeToo stuff?If someone was bugging me for nudes, I would just ignore them. Who cares?
>>578872710Literal jeet logic
I am torn between hacking at a large game(I am almost sure I can do it from a technical standpoint, the problem is discipline/motivation)or attempt small games.
>>578873530Do both, nothing wrong with working on multiple projects and just having some on the back burner sometimes.
This thread fucking sucks, is there a better alternative for actual progress and gamedev?
>>578873530I was working on a big game then realized the scope is so big I cannot just keep doing it long term and I won't be able to afford artwork commissions either so instead I will focus on shipping 3 smaller games (2-3 months each) and hope that at least one of them makes a little bit of money to fund my big game. Probably not but I see this as a better path to success than just grinding on my main game for the next 2 years with no support.

I've been working on a small RPG and I kinda just realized that most of the systems I've written could be used in a bunch of different games. I just have to replace the gameplay portion with something larger scope. Feels kinda good honestly. I'm gonna refine this system, ship the current game and get right onto working on another using a bunch of the same code.

>>578871779I get why it's so popular. The developer side of me does consider those features in the ideas that I write up. As a gamer I'm getting so fucking tired of them. The gamer in me tells the developer side to do better.>3 is the perfect sweet spotHard disagree there. Most games using a system like this have far too many options in the pool that having only 3 feels awful. It tends to result in one of two things. Either the runs are super rng and you have to reset to get a good start. Or the game is so easy that what you choose doesn't really matter.This >578872414 is not me btw.

>>578880762True, sometimes I separate out small pieces of the art (whatever layers they are on,) then downsize them separately depending on how blurry I want them. This is more just a technique for people intentionally trying to make textures look low res.

>>578882251if by tutorial code you mean code sourced from guides, stackoverflow, youtube, open source, blueprints, etc, then that's already most video games, and making your very own assets and music with your own two hands already puts you above 99% of video games ever made in "originality" or w/e you want to call it.
How do you call using AI as asistant but making everything like 70% by hand versus using AI agents to do 90% AI?

>>578891341>Isn't he an official youtube Guru?I would say so yes. This will be the third game he has been paid to make a game, as in he was able to make the game while being paid to make it. That's his "be a full time game developer" angle and he has proven he knows what he's talking about. This makes him quite different from all the gamedev youtubers who haven't even made minimum wage salaries with a game yet.
>>578889569>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NLKLqF4MJ2A
>>578891493I mean you'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to be seeking a mate in this day and age regardless
>>578889270https://youtu.be/0tYm41hb48ocontrary to popular belief, it's okay to feel shitty. after all we do live in a fallen world and the number one objective in this life is to find Him. the proof is that, other people have it easy, they've got possessions and skills and this and that, meanwhile some born so miserable it's hard for them to even do anything. rejoice, it's easy for me to seek God when i'm miserable too. also the next life isn't some 24/7 hillsong concert, the earth will be made new, and we'll get to be in a relationship and do earthly activities without anyone having ill feelings. as for intellectual satisfaction, you can start by watching william lane craig, alvin plantinga, and inspiringphiloshopy videos, they're great.
the WHAT code tags
>>578891490I'm cis.>>578891493True, maybe just seek God, feel better, then maybe find someone.
>>578891341should have been EA
>>578891341>94% positive>1400 reviews in a weekclearly he can make a good game. maybe not a successful game if it's true the budget was $700k but I have my doubts about thatI'm still not going to watch his videos because I find him extremely annoying on a personal level
>ah you want to make a shitty Korean Mobile MMORPG with auto-play. well there's a billion of those already.name one
>>578892092holy fucking zoomer, you must be 18 to post here
>>578891487I hate the "it's like bioshock" memeWho even started with that bullshit>no utopia>no captivating story>no fantastic city>no great voice actors>no cool ideas>no interesting gameplay>no anything like big daddies or little sistersIs it just because of the somewhat slightly similar art style?THAT'S FUCKING IT?! I hate redditors so much, manI guess gran turismo is really like san andreas cuz there's trees in both games

>>578891443The black woman that was unsually happy talking to Marnix on that one call in stream?
>>578892351it's first person shooting and magic, that's what's bioshock-like about it
>diggingit literally shows up on the very top of reviews
>>578892242there's always a big review boom at the start when the dev has a huge youtube followingthat's just the sheep that already also pay for his patreons and whatnot in hopes he will one day say their online name out loud making them cream their pants and shit themselvesplayer count is already dropping faster than my panties whenever uncle Fred was visiting and I noticed he wants to play doctors again
How the FUCK do I improve? Am I destined for suck?
>>578891341>Why are the haters like that?I wouldn't be surprised if it is redd*tors who hate him. Ie when Nun dev posted his game on there and then suspiciously got a negative review, maybe more, that suggested it was a redd*tor seething.Look at BiteMe, a little too many of the negative reviews that first appeared gave me the vibe of being that one ugly youtuber that hates him. Kek probably jealous of Marnix.
>gta 6, or should i say watchdogs 3, won't be much of a competitor to my game that will release around at the same timephew what was all that worry about?

>>578892656>muh player countGo back to /v/ weirdo. This is a game dev thread for game developers. Twisted Towers will continue to sell copies for years to come, ultimately making millions of dollars. It fills a very thirsty niche.
i don't know what the fuck gaming needs. we have systemic games like rimworld, we have automation games, we have mmorpgs, racing games, horror, cozy/chill, visual novels, detective games, city builders, card games aaaand so much more. and all those genres have decent games.maybe i should switch my question from "what does the world need that doesnt exist yet?" to "what does the world need more from".but what does "more" mean? just taking slay that spire and adding new content? whats the point?i really can't find the missing piece.2015-2020 i didn't finish anything, yet i dev'ed a lot more and at least had visions/ideas. but nowadays everything exists already. (ofc you can have absurd game ideas that take a 100 million budget and big teams, but whats the value of having ideas like that?)
>>578893040That's too vague to be helpful.
Aieeeeee trying to force myself to dev is so hard!!!! It's the fear of failure and the amount of work required stopping me isn't it!
>>578893379the world doesn't need anything anymore anon. it doesn't work like that anymore.
>>578892783if you sperg out at an AI it's just going to perform worse as it's now predicting a conversation between a low impulse tardraging caps spamming brainlet and an unhelpful AIdo you even hyperstition?
>>578893379you just need to make flavor of the month games with an engine + store assets + gen aifriendslop and incrementals is the current meta, but it will be probably something different in 2-3 months, basically you want to keep copying whatever is currently on the rise, ride the wave of popularity, make some bucks, and keep chugging out shovelware garbage
>>578893379There are some people who will buy and play every single city builder. If you make a city builder they will buy your game and play it. Even if yours is the 200th city builder released that year. You won't make a city builder though because you're not inspired and you want some kind of magical great idea that will guarantee success with no competition. You are approaching a creative endeavor with the worst possible attitude.
>>578893379>i don't know what the fuck gaming needs. Cant speak for gaming as a whole, but I need someone to make comfy death stranding but spice and wolf game.
>>578893391onee-san...
>>578893391I can't even tell if this is a parody because it's such a realistic example of the average agdquitter /agdq/average game development quitter
>>578893878Nta but I have an idea that has me very hopeful. Yet at the same time I worry it will flop. But then I look at other similar games, even some low quality ones that did "well" yet I can't shake this feeling I wil somehow fail>release>10 reviews after a week>see garbage that somehow got over 200 reviewsIts scary
>>578893721Marnix of bitemegames is that you?
>>578894348they're still alive?
how do you cope with negative reviews on your game
>>578894225>But then I look at other similar games, even some low quality ones that did "well" They probably did marketing. They showed their game to people on the internet. If you release a decent game without marketing, it will flop. If you think you can have some kind of game that is such a great idea that you can just toss it on steam and hopefully it will take off - you are right to have the feeling it would fail. It absolutely would fail.
>>578894517dox them and message them to remove the review
>>578894517you make enough money to stop working for 10+ yearsthen you don't care>20% refunds? who cares haha I made 400k

>>578894957>one review>product received for freeTake this away from my sight! Why must you show me such things!?>>578895196lmao be quiet slopper. That game is pure soul and genuine effort. Very tragic to see it completely dead because the dev thought it would move the world by being so pure. He thought this was still the year 2010 where games have a chance of "going viral" accidentally. Marketing is the meta, it's more than that though, it's mandatory. And people hate it because they want to be rewarded for already being genius enough to make a videogame.
>>578895995buy an add faggot
>>578894517a korean dev would threaten the individual reviewers through sock puppet accounts with black people pfps in full caps
>>578894957brvtalmaking a good game that marketed itself made more sense when there were like 5 games being released in a day so they got naturally discoveredbut with 100s of games showing up every day, most of which are either AI slop or chinese sweatshop products, you don't get the chance to be noticed
>>578896176Umm what.Just making random crab noises now huh slopperlol
we need a steam "new releases" preset that only shows AAA, AA, and solodev projects from the western world.
>>578895542>this hobby is broken because it's not guaranteed to make me money!That's not how hobbies work. It's fascinating to watch cognitive dissonance like this where someone who uses the hobby cope actually admits it's not a hobby for them.
>>578896603this hobby is broken because it takes more time than a full time job and you need to be in the top 10% to make the equivalent of minimum wage so you can keep making games
>>578896938A hobby is not for making money. >That's not how hobbies work.
>>578894517My AI companion helps me deal with it
>some flopdev crab called gamedev a hobby so much to cope with failure that it brainwashed anons into thinking it's a hobby>they don't actually know what a hobby isSee the kind of mess crabs make. Damaging innocent minds.

>>578894957I genuinely don't understand what the game is. As far as I can tell it's a sony movie game but somehow even worse
>>578896509Nope. If you do that AAA studios will just continue pretending they are indie games, which is what many "AA" studios are already doing. Then you will literally be pushed out of the market.

>>578899889You don't understand at all. Even a bad game will still get a few reviews if the dev just shows it to someone. This game is an example of someone shadow dropping a game and hoping for the best. That's the tragedy. That someone would do this to their game. And many of you would to your game, if you had a game, which you don't because you're nodev filth.

can any older brothers provide little brother with some pointers on how to improve a thatch roof?
>>578901005See what a waste of time it is trying to have any kind of discussion with you. Please stop posting on message boards. We are not your babysitter.
Or... we are your babysitter. And we're going to have a very unfortunate accident with you.
Is this a good opening sequence lads?
>>578901968kino ideaguy's moment
>>578901968Do euros really call it chucking a cigarette instead of flicking a cigarette?
>>578901235弟弟, 小兄弟, the best way to do a thatched roof is to remember to carry the dao. those who carry the dao will do their thatched roof like this. It is a sprite of hair, made long. It has to be fluffy and cordoned into sections. Remember the words of Xing Lu Nan, as he wrote in "The Hard Road" :欲渡黄河冰塞川,将登太行雪满山.闲来垂钓碧溪上,忽复乘舟梦日边.With this ancient elders' wisdom, we can see that you must start with a dark color, then layer lighter color on top like a painter to do things such as trees, or bushes, or plants - Even thatch is truly a plant's memory. If you wish to carry the dao, little brother, you must remember the shape of all things, for it is in the shape of things and the means in which light falls upon it that the love of Christ - The true dao - is revealed.

>>578903760bro there is so much more than the character. The whole war hero being dragged back into a solo extraction mission from terrorists. The campbell vs bob hauk connection (the mission briefing at the start of the game is almost identical). Fox die and the micro explosives, otacon and brain, the final chase scene with the villain on a bridge vs mgs in a tunnel, extracting the president of the USA.There are so many beats taken from the movie. I don't understand how he got away with it.

>>578826835I think people need to realise that "AI can make games" is a bad statement because what is considered a game is extremely wide scope of stuff. AI was able to make text RPGs since late 2022 with release of ChatGPT and probably earlier, AI was able to make shit looking arcade games like pic related at the end of 2025 with Gemini 3, Fable can do better CAD models and can actually remember what it wrote few files ago. The question is not if AI can make games but what games can AI make and are they good games or original games. I think it will take a while before AI can recreate GTA 6 or even GTA 3 for that matter, heck, even recreating Minecraft was never successful, all the xwitter posts just post some halfassed infdev version that Notch worked on for like a week but never show anything evn approaching even the release version, not to mention modern Minecraft with all the structures and mobs with interesting AI like Breeze.

why are you still making games when GTA 6 is coming? they've basically cornered the market for the next decade
>>578908616To what

>>578908616no time
>>578908820It doesn't matter, I just need you to change it so that I can exercise power over your game. Because I can't make videogames myself, but what I can do is treat gamedevs like they answer to me, because I run a discord channel. You don't want me to shame you in front of the discord do you?
>>578908987well it can't get more of a niche audience than zero audience

Tourist here, where's all the AI slop i've been warned? Developers having more time to tackle large bugs by leviating smaller issues to agents, minor graphic elements just getting generated, better intelligence by computer players in general. There was a lot of promises, yet it does feel the gaming industries seems to be largely unaffected, besides artist drama. How come? I can't even tell if the steam indie slop increased in meaningful numbers, seems to be the same amount of "new releases" than six years ago.
>>578909835>Wait you forgot to add a zipcode?No, I definitely did. That's just an example the message gives you. It also asked me to post more documents to verify it so I did.I have no idea what part of the address was wrong so now I just gotta wait a lil more.
>>578910290>warned aboutFuck me.
>>578910290Dunno, I'm an auteur not an slopper.
>>578910290The total number of devs who are capable of making a game with AI is far lower than the number of fake devs who claim they can make a game with AI. There is still a huge amount of slop on the market now, and it is burying smaller games unfortunately, which was expected. This is supported by the data.https://howtomarketagame.com/2026/07/13/did-ai-slop-ruin-steam-next-fest-june-2026/>What did I learn from the data? >The AI slop actually didn’t hurt most developers, in fact, “middle class” games did better in June SNF than February SNF!>Small games going into SNF with <1000 wishlists were hurt and seemed to be drowned out in the SLOP pile.
There is definitely some sentiment that AI slop has ruined nextfest. https://youtu.be/-0D1cWt3F_I?t=49
>>578911264>>Small games going into SNF with <1000 wishlists were hurt and seemed to be drowned out in the SLOP pile.so basically all of /agdg/ is getting fucked by slop and big players just continue their usual business
make a new one sissy
>there are 5,000 games in next fest>maybe 300 of them are actual real games from devs who are trying to make a real game>the rest is so bad that it shouldn't even have a store pageIt's so over lmao
>>578910290You are guys are simply too impatient.
>>578910290no talent niggas believe they can make a game with ai after ai generating them their first hello world ahahahah so when they see the real ammount of hard work one has to put on making a game they get giga filtered lololol
>>578912301Kind of. I mean Wasteland Bites and Nuns and Guns technically are agdg games and they certainly had over 1,000 wishlists. But any smaller game that isn't already doing well is in serious trouble. You used to have to market to sell your game, and next fest was great for marketing. Now you need to market your game for it to survive next fest.
