Lets hear your game ideas aggy. I like reading game ideas!

Anybody have any luck using the unity mcp and cursor? Does it actually go well?
it seems like a game needs to be challenging yet comfy. but what i notice is that the challenge doesnt have to be complicated, it can even just be "this enemy is level 10 and you need to grind for a day to get to level 10 and get good enough gear so clicking spells on the enemy actually kills them".maybe challenge isn't the right word!? maybe it's about "goals" only?and i also think the goals need to unlock something. most commonly it's probably areas. but those areas have to be nice to look at and make you feel something and feel nostalgic about them later on. e.g. in guild wars 2 i unlocked areas that were nothing but war-ridden wastelands without much vegetation.maybe it's like cooking, a good recipe needs a good mixture. it's not only goals, not only aesthetics, not only fantasy, not only gameplay, it's a good mix of everything.keep in mind i talk about games i want to play, not about games that go viral. i tried schedule 1 for 2 hours, it was somewhat fun, but it felt pointless very fast. so this game is useless to me, even though it sold well.although schedule 1 is easy to play, yet sets goals over and over. which confirms my formula. for me its lacking in the aesthetics and fantasy apartment.
>>579300998no its not about challenge, its about progression. games used to be about progressing yourself by getting better at the game. this has now been bypassed by time (money) gating progression. AAA slop makes you buy battle passes and grind, gacha slop and whatever makes you do daily grind shit, indie slop has exploded with idles/incrementals for this reason too; no need to get good at the game just keep clicking and you get levels and epic huge numbers.friendslop has all of these and also just fucking around with your friends.
>>579300998I prefer challenging, but building enough muscle memory will get you through the toughest challenges. sekiro is my favorite example of this. you could grind and get lots of shit but in the end without the muscle memory you will use those up and still not beat the boss.
>>579300490just start, even the smallest thing is still progress
I just noticed that AI is not good for 2D animation.Either I have to choose slop, or do it by hand, and that would mean that it would take weeks to create few second animation.
>weeks
>>579300998for most people games need two things:1) goals/content that you can continuously keep chasing, there needs to be a clear path (disregarding side content etc) that guides player from point A to point B to boss A to boss B etc2) a way for your character to feel stronger the more you progress
>>57930178520 frames / 2 seconds at 1536x1536 resolutionlineart + 2 shades per color, like one image per evening after work.
>>579301659if you rotoscope reference of yourself, you will make kino that will be remembered forever.
>>579299707Is this bait? Sword and sworcery, Hollow Knight and some other things there look really good.
>>579301994make it 1bit. black and white. maybe some small amount of dithering
pros and cons of posting your game on blueskywill I get cancelled by leftists?
>>579302221yes it's bait
>>579301838I don't think games really have to be this. There probably needs to be some sense of progression but it doesn't need to be "getting stronger."It could literally just be unlocking a new hat or something and that will satisfy players.
>>579302325It's federated, just run your own instance.
>>579302521>anon's echo chamber>population: 1
>>579302325do gamers even use bluesky?
>>579302832no, only tranny activists use bluesky where they complain about games or praise games but never buy games
>>579302832I don't know what gamers do I'm old
>mmorpg where you can have sex in the main city with prostitutes, but it costs a lot of gold>progression is about unlocking gooning>locking non-combat content behind combat
>>579302572That would be a problem of no one wanting to see your game, not of the platform you're posting. Make better game?
>>579302643I just remembered I have a 3d model of you cris.
>>579302897
>>579302942no, if you run your own instance and it's not immediately buttlicking leftist ideaology you will get banned from peering with other instancesit's only federated/decentralized if you unconditionally agree with trannies
>>579302832I'm considering using it indirectly through federation
>>579300289>but you can keep playing even when not landedThey did add a DLC for that in CK3. >and also the battles can be watched real time instead of abstractedMount and Blade?
>>579303031You get banned from instances of people that don't want to see your game, but not from your own instance or from other instances of people that do want to see your game.
>>579302325>>579302832I use it over twitter now because I don't have an account on either and bluesky actually lets me sort by date without one. So if a dev has twitter sometimes I can't even look at their account is they have bluesky I can and will actually see their most recent posts.
good times aheadhttps://x.com/yugiriworks/status/2093888399002538055
>>579303443You're missing out, all the nips are on twitter and they post tons of art. Really not that hard to just make some throwaway e-mail/throwaway twitter account.
99% of the devs here and everywhere else disgust megoing to keep making trash magic library clones and never learn how to make something good?
>>579303469good times make weak men, weak men make bad games, bad games make bad times.
>>579304116it's not my problem to fix your mental illness of being disgusted by imaginary people
>>579304116do you really think it's a virtue to be disgusted by everyone you choose to be around?have you tried just not caring?
>>579304194Cozy Sorting Video Games Inspired by LibrarianFollowing the massive popularity of ArtRising's Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library, the PC and simulation community has seen a surge of quick-turnaround asset flips and legitimate "tidy-up" spin-offs.Some examples:Cellar Keeper — A direct reskin of the shelving concept that swaps magical spellbooks for vintage wine bottles and barrels.Toy Shop: Tidy Up — Reuses the same sorting and stacking loop, tasking players with organizing scattered toys on retail shelves.Librarian: Tidy Up Roblox Library — A blatant unauthorized clone on Roblox that reportedly went as far as stealing and editing the official Steam capsule art.Monk Took Book — A Steam release that copies the pixelated, top-down visual style of organizing historical archives.Cleaning Up the Puzzle Gallery — An upcoming first-person variant focusing on collecting and re-sorting scattered artwork pieces across a massive museum.At this point, it's hard not to notice the pattern: one simple game becomes successful, and suddenly everyone is racing to make their own version before the trend dies.There's nothing inherently wrong with being inspired by another game. But there's a pretty big difference between taking an idea and doing something genuinely interesting with it and changing the theme, swapping the assets, and trying to cash in while the original is still trending.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4197610/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4935510/Cellar_Keeper/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4914830/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4022090/Monk_Took_Book/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4927490/Cleaning_Up_The_Puzzle_Gallery/

The Indie Dev mindset is a surefire way to ngmi.
based japs not wasting any minute
>>579305107We gotta worry about the six "tidy simulators" that released and not the 90000 roguelikes, deckbuilders, and platformers.
>>579305107yeah, we're in the era of lethal company clones, mettya hide and seek clones, and library cleanup clonesit's awful

>>579306589Yes, some of us still want to play good games instead of 3D slop.
>>579297379>to imagine they made all of this with nothing but maya and photoshop is insane.They used a lot of photos as basis for textures back then. Still a lot of work of course. The sheer model variety in most of them was insane.

It's a Halloween party and (you) are invited! However, we know GTA 6 is coming (if the dead man's switch doesn't activate) and is gonna make everyone busy for Christmas. So we'll combine them for our opening overview animation for our jam.And, we want to have your characters at our party! >HOW TO JOINFor 3D Devs either send a rigged model as a .glb (blender) file or send a static PNG (transparent) of your character in some sort of standing pose, holding a drink, eating some chips, etc. Bonus if you dress them up in a Halloween costume or a Christmas outfit.For 2D Devs you can send a static PNG (transparent) of your character in some sort of standing pose, holding a drink, eating some chips, etc. Bonus if you dress them up in a Halloween costume or a Christmas outfit.If you're interested, send it to us by this Tuesday September 1st.And don't forget to sign up for the v3jam: https://itch.io/jam/v3expos-world-famous-game-jam-2
>>579307463
is anyone here actually excited for gta 6? as far as I can see it looks awful, looks unfun, uninteresting, doesn't do anything new, and focuses more on campaign and artwork rather than gameplay
>>579306065AI has not replaced 50% of white collar labour like Dario predicted, so I just assume every task that can be fucked up will be fucked yo by AI at least 20% of the time, so nobody except losers with higher chance of fucking things up trusts it.>But codingYou can fix coding, and coding is the one thing where they brought the chance of fucking up on each step down to 1% and given it self checking abilities to fix its fuckups through error logs.
>>579307781>>>/v/
>>579307781Not me, looks OK to me but it's not the kind of game I get excited about
>>579307781I'm not excited for it. I'll watch gameplay of it just to see, I don't plan on purchasing. Maybe I'll pirate in the future if it's good, but I doubt I'm going to want to make space on my computer for it because it doesn't look that good.
>>579307781Im not. But its normalfag core. Also the main characters suck hard this time around, and the map is lame. Also the setting is lame, they couldve done something cool like a GTA in the past again like vice city wasIll still buy it though, when its on sale 5 years from now and on PC. I enjoyed the single player usually
An alien GTA would be so cool, but the AAA are creatively bankrupt
>>579308132Isn't that just the current one?
>>579307994true anon however I'm guaging whether the previous post was claiming something that is actually true or not, especially for indie customers>>579308132that's a very interesting concept
>>579308479not in the way you want
>>579307781It looks like GTA5+1. I enjoyed 5 well enought, guess I'll buy 6 when it comes out on PC.I definitely wouldnt aim to release anything around the time its coming out though lmao. >>579308057GTA type game in a unique setting could work well. But rockstar is probably too scared to make fun of any other nations culture. Also normies wont buy anything set in a location they dont know, so with their budget that only leaves sunny coast american cities full of diversity to work with. Some daring indie team will have to make GTA: Mumbai, GTA: Dubai, etc. >>579308132We kind of sort of got that with the fourth saints row, I guess?
>>579309170Id like a GTA in europe, but in the 60s or somethingor a gta in new york/chicago but in the 20s gangster erathatd be rad
game idea: GTA but its said in ww2 and also instead of being an open world map theres seveal smaller maps you play in multiplayer with other players and you win if you kill the enemy team or do the objectives of your mission
>>579310125>gta but...i wonder if you can do this with everythingmany will try to take advantage of gtaVI's hype, that's for surebut those type of games are very hard to make as a solo dev
>>579307110kanna...
>>579310125we should name it after the pivotal date of WWII, 1942
>>579300720it goes well with claude. but unity is deprecating mcp for a cli tool. haven't tried that one yet.
>>579310125heroes and generals is dead
What do actual solo devs put into their credits? Feels like every succesful "solo" game has way more names than the actual supposed dev. Do they feel the need to inflate the credits by thanking every friend and family member separately?
>>579311209>And thank you.. the player!
>>579311209You'll see two names in my credits and one of them is Codex.
>>579311209all the patreon subscribers, I guess
>>579300205Zelda: Four Swords Adventures but the friendslop version
>>579311209its called a cargo cult
zelda but you don't really feel like being a hero so you have to figure out how to shortcut through everything
>>579311209
>>579311209I just put "Created by [name]" or something like that.Anything behind that is weird. I hate when solo devs list a million roles like "animator" "programmer" etc. and just write their name over and over because they think it's quirky.Most successful "solo" games are not actually solo. It's just some guy saying it's solo but he actually hired a bunch of contractors to do most of the work.
>>579307994this thread is full of larpers, not devs
>>579307781I watched the netflix thing. Cool to see how far visuals have come bit didn't see any evolution in gameplay. Couldn't see a reason to play it over gta5
>>579309170>GTA type game in a unique setting could work well. But rockstar is probably too scared to make fun of any other nations culture.it's not, they want to make money with GTA online, and don't want to risk it by changing it too much from 5
Gta should be set in london. And have loads of arabs innit
>>579311209MeThe music guy I contractedThe two people I contracted to make two of the main models seen in the gameThe texture artist who did some of the workThe translatorsThe people who made the trailerAnd then another page with all the assets used and licenses
>>579312957I've been devving almost all my wake hours since yesterday morning (I stopped to eat and shower)
>>579311209Why should you even add any credits?Just return to main menu or quit game after the end.
>>579314031May I see the progress?
>>579312957it's devs who are stealing already lame ideas and making even worse copies of the game, and then not update the game at all ever again, only to make more awful products to do the same thing withwhy not clone noita?
>work in AAA>retarded middle management and producers>drama on Slack>"daily standups">JIRA tickets>"sprints">pointless deadlines that are never met>having to spend time with coworkers and pretend to be friends>publisher needs to add dumb input to things that don't matter>too much focus on DLC instead of new games or content>social media and marketing people are giant cornballs who spam "jokes" in Slack all day>co-workers are nerdy blue hairs>writers thinking up their next enby character rather than an interesting story>never-ending cycle of who is the biggest victim so no work ever gets done "my kid is sick, need the day off," "my dog died, i need to day off," "weather is bad, need the day off">no one actually has any passion for working, just passionate about attention seeking behaviorThis is why the AAA industry is in the can and games take like 20 years to release now when production starts.

>>579315058Ok, here's the current output of my viseme aligner.
>>579316813
last week I got a girlfriend for the first time and I just don't have any motivation to make games or to sit in front of a computer. there's so much to do out there and it's all so much better than what I was doing before. life is amazing and you should be out living it
>>579315058>>579316863parasocial retard
>>579316970remember game dev when she breaks your heartgame dev will never break your heartunless you're trying to make lots of money, then it will break your heart
>>579316334You still have food and there isn’t a famine yet or world war yet, so yes, we are still in the golden age, just at the end of it.
>>579316970All relationships are amazing for like three months, then you and your gf will stop putting in max effort and it will become a giant stressful chore.At least creating something is consistently enjoyable.
>>579317159you could not fathom what a golden age looks like, especially if you are still talking about 3D concepts like food
there are 37.5 million gamers in germany according to an article. what are you doing to make them buy your game?(probably most of them are mobile gamers or mmorpg/esport-games players, the second majority is probably witcher/skyrim/genshin impact and other big rpgs)
>>579317129>>579317190oh she's going to dump me and it's going to suck but there are so many other girls out there and if I can get one I can get anotherI'd still like to make a game but it's hard to chain myself to a desk. today I spent the day at the pool and got hugged by 2 girls I didn't know and my girlfriend was fuming haha
>>579315349In every western country, any company with more than a few dozen employees must employ a roughly even ratio of men and women, or they'll be leaving themselves vulnerable to very costly discrimination lawsuits. DEI is legally mandatory, and not something companies engage with willingly. This results in companies hiring an excess of useless women who are unable to contribute to the production of the actual product (video games in this case). Thus, the company is forced to invent bullshit jobs to occupy their time, lest they use their free time to sabotage the company out of boredom.
>>579317580>lest they use their free time to sabotage the company out of boredomand when that no longer works they bring out the draft
>>579317270You could not fathom what dark age looks like unless you slave away 14 hours a day malnourished with no utilities and fighting for survival with your neighbours over scraps of food.
>>579317796miss me with that low vibrational shit
it's owari da..
maybe my life is shit cause i spend every day going on youtube, 4chan and discord and trying to find something meaningful on it. yet all i'm doing is going in circles, trying to progress by changing nothing.on the other hand i have a theory that humanity isn't perfect and it's fine to just enjoy the repetition and the slight variations. cause trying to "find something better" can also drive you crazy, especially cause it's a carrot on a stick that keeps moving.
>>579317497>got hugged by 2 girls I didn't know and my girlfriend was fuming haha>get gf>instantly act like giant disloyal slut with strange womenDon't be surprised if your gf dumps you soon anon.
>>579318037
>>579315349how many actually work on games and how many work in marketing / HR / bullshit that doesn't actually make the gameI hate corporate shit so much
>>579316970my life revolves around gamedev thoughmoney? gamedevhouse? money, from gamedevpeople? gamedevsjust get a gamedev gf
>>579318839I would say it's like half and half. Many of them having middle management roles where they just like schedule meetings and pretend to know how to help the dev team work faster.
>>579312809>I hate when solo devs list a million roles like "animator" "programmer" etc. and just write their name over and over because they think it's quirky.wtf am I supposed to write if I did everything except music and localization? I can't say everything is made by me, but art and programming was, and I recorded my own sound effects.
>>57931923950% is quite a lot.The thing with something like game development is, trying to find people who can actually contribute is already difficult because it's such an autist / artistic thing and then finding people who can work together is even harder.I try to get people to help me with my projects but even when I give the easiest possible tasks they'll take literal years to get it done, if at all. Even if I try to set a timeframe.
>>579319347"Created by" for you.And then for the other guys, "Music," and "Localization"
>>579302325The population is 10 people and there's no algo, the generic feed serves me american politics and old people posting their pets.posting on reddit will drive more wishlists.

>>579300490I can see how an engine can be faster for some difficult things but using one feels like building a bottleship wearing gloves
>>579319928Listen to ConcernedApe, he's more beloved than Hideo Kojima. His name is only in the credits once.
>>579320053did you apply scale to the object before parenting the mesh to the bones?
>>579302230We don't need another Surface Breaker situation on our hands
if your game is either "cozy", "incremental" or "card deck" then I sincerely hope you flop
>>579320453Too bad your hopes and dreams are incompatible with reality.
>>579320180>he's more beloved than Hideo KojimaHow did you measure that objectively?
>>579320025ok shizo
i invented 「 ADORATION 」
>>579320761The way they are perceived online.ConcernedApe is just seen as the most successful indie dev who works on his games passionately.Hideo Kojima seen as an attention whore who is butt buddies with that Game Awards guy. He is seen as a great developer too but people also make fun of him for constantly seeking attention.
>>579307781San Andreas was the only one that had any charm. The pre-SA ones play really stiff and the post-SA ones feel mega corporate.
>>579321062>ConcernedApe is just seen as the most successful indie dev who works on his games passionately.That's not Toby Fox. Or Binding of Isaac guy. Or Jon Blow.
>>579321267Blow is seen as some washed up incel.Binding of Isaac guy lost points when he let Chris-chan and other controversial people voice a character in his game recently.Toby Fox seen as creator who only makes things for autistic theater kids.
Gamedevs are not celeberties. If you go outside (something which I know you haven't done in a long time) and ask 100 random people if they know any of these names, most likely 100/100 would have no clue.
eric casually mogged the AAA and indie devs with the mythical "mass appeal without sacrificing quality" unicorn.
>>579320053looks fine to me
>>579321601Now this is just a hunch but methinks you might be a bit biased and your statements should be taken with a grain of salt.I'll go back to Kojima and Sakurai.
>>579321963>mass appeal without sacrificing qualityThat's Terraria and Minecraft. No one with more than two digit levels of testosterone cares about SV.
>>579322289>No one with more than two digit levels of testosterone cares about SV.you'd be surprised anon
>>579322289>he doesn't have the masculine urge to move to a homestead and breed a country girlNGMI
>>579323090Masculine my dick, the game won't even let you eat your own cattle, it's an estrogen onions overdose. Even Palworld lets you butcher your pals and cook them.
>>579323289I don't believe Eric thought too hard about it. It wasn't a mechanic in Harvest Moon, which were E-for-everyone games designed for young children, and so he simply didn't add it.
>>579323780>and so he simply didn't add it.He LITERALLY added it and then removed it in a later patch dumbass, you can find his blog article about it.
>>579324547In that case, you seem to know and care far more about SDV than I do.
synthesis, transmutation, and shops are now workinggame rapidly becoming playable. the only thing is i need to upload the game to Cloudfire R2 for unity assets to work. i'm procrastinating this switch as much as possible because i am not sure how much more difficult it will become to update unity addressables on the server.
>>579324969You think I'd talk shit a game I've never played?
>>579321936But what if you ask a random person on the internet? What if you ask someone in the same age range as you?yes, if you ask random old people then these random old people will only know people from decades ago.
>be me>make game>it's a bad game>be sad
>>579311209i have three sectionstech - the libs and framework and tools I usedassets - the asset creditstesters - names of the few people that were continuously testing my gametranslators - names of people that contributed translations
https://x.com/SyntaxFossil/status/2093140173563584858Interesting thing. A developer posted his 16 second trailer once, then posted it again with the exact same scenes except changed up a bit. One got 4k views, the other got 800k views.The first 3 seconds seems to have made a huge difference.
>>579316863>nooo you must post fancy animations or it's not progressback to twitter/reddit
>>579317430if you were targeting germans specifically then it probably has to be second job simulators like the truck simulator or forklift simulator etc
>>579325309Your average SDV player wouldn't know these little tidbits. Hell, a top 1% SDV player wouldn't even know. You have to be some level of obsessed to know.
is 15% refund rate good or bad
>>579327520>You have to be some level of obsessed to know.Or you could have played the fucking game when it still had it in the early build, and then later notice when he removed it, jackass. And you of course look up the patch notes to see WHY it was removed. But never mind >it never happened >okay it did happen, but it doesn't matter, stop caringIf this is the level of arguments we're having here, I'm done.
>>579327691very good. is that your game?
>>579327691Bad. More than 50% of players are done with the game within the refund window = the game is far too short. If it wasn't already so cheap, you'd see a higher refund rate. Most players aren't going to bother filling out the form for a measly $5.
>>579327881I'm saying these things in response to your original statement that>No one with more than two digit levels of testosterone cares about SV.I've also owned SDV since before 1.0 and have beaten the game multiple times, but I don't really care about it enough to memorize a decade worth of patch notes.
>>579327887no some twitter dude, I was just curious what are the numbers for an average game
>>579300205Phantasy Star Online with modernized gamefeel and controls, and a bit more class identity. That's really it. I know it would sell millions if done well but I just don't have the required skill set to do it well enough. I hope to get there one day.>>579312540Make it a bit physics based and goofy and you got a top seller. A bit of Gang Beasts mixed in there or something like that. You might even get away with parodying Link as the character. Give it a round head and those horrible bulging eyes and Link's hat and tunic in different colors for each player.
can I just download a 2d tileset and then make cubes in blender and apply the texture to each side and just use that as models in my gamewhy wouldn't itw ork
>>579327691Seems normal, probably slightly high due to the playtime as the other anon mentioned.The average and median is around 10% refund rate. 15% for a game under ~2 hours is decent considering basically everyone can refund it.
>>579327691Outside of steam, if you have a “refund rate” (chargeback) of over 1% your merchant account gets terminated.So yeah 15% is bad.
>>579328703
>>579329126based
>>579328975I've refunded far more games on steam than I have on any sorta merchant like paypal.In fact, I've done it 0 times on paypal and maybe 3-5 times on steam.
>>579328270>but I don't really care about it enough to memorize a decade worth of patch notes.I didn't memorize a decade's worth of patch notes either. But I remembered the estrogen-fueled blog post about how killing for meat is bad. (And lost some of my respect for him there.)But again, you said it didn't happen, when it actually did. I still heard no apology from you for trying to have an argument despite being ignorant on the topic and wasting my time. We will continue this conversation when you're man enough to owe up to your mistakes.
>>579328703Just do planes for most of it unless you are building a minecraft voxel type game where they can remove and place cubes.
what would you describe this style
>>579328975Steam has a super generous return policy so it's not crazy that it's so high. Plus games are weird compared to most products because it has to interact with a user's PC which has a good chance of having terrible hardware that can't run a lot of things.
>>579329369I specifically said>I don't believe because I was making an assumption without much understanding of the topic, which turned out to be wrong, and I am perfectly fine with admitting that my assumption was wrong.Normal players of any game aren't going to bother to read any patch notes ever. When are you going to admit that you have less than two digits of testosterone by your own accusations?
>>579329725Claudecore
>>579299707Honestly I think in the entire history of videogames no one has actually yet made a perfect game. Think about it. We had all this time to think and experiment with this medium but we're in 2000 + 20 + 3x2 and we're still doing things like the story being entirely separate from the game, or only connected with a dumb excuse.No one has yet made a video game that is like the Beethoven or Shakespeare equivalent of video games or even comes close to it.
>>579329369I agree that ConcernedApe is totally gay and faggy. He is a cucked beta from the Seattle area who had his game funded by his rich mommy gf at the time. I've noticed that most men who play SV are literally gay a lot of the time, but most "Harvest Moon type" farming sims are basically designed for women so it's not shocking.
Is sorc really that bad on this server? I only got to 9 on gunner with the dcs and loading screen issues but I'm not sure if I'm feeling it.
