Demo Day is comingAre (you) prepared?
you know how like paradox games are the same games with different themes? what if I copied my existing game and just reskinned it from like idk fantasy to zombie shit and re-released the same game with a different theme, do you think that would work?
>>579435039is your original game successful? if so, go wild
>>579435039Doing this with a train skin is the secret to making it btw.
the v3 expo owner is a scammer and doxer, he posts here every thread trying to get people to join his gamejam, he's jewish and despite having a /v/ sticky three times for his gamejam it gets less than 1k views LEL
>>579434996my demo is already ready. maybe i should've worked more on it, but i've fallen ill so i'm kinda glad i get the week to rest.
>how do I...Envision the cookie, lick the snout, and snort.

>>579435960nice watchtime
>>579435937I have two party members in my RPG implemented and I'm halfway through a 3rd (out of 6 planned). I only have like 5 enemies and no overworld/progression yet.I guess a small battle demo is better than nothing but idk if it's worth submitting at this point.
>>579435960the part you cut off>his gamejam it gets less than 1k views LELhe was talking about the gamejam. how many views did it get?

next demo day is three months away, i might submit for this one
>another demon day that I will miss
>>579434857If I post screenshots of my gameAnd don't get many replies,Does that mean I'm making a crappy game?
>>579436635we'll make it for dd100!
>>579436819you the s&box guy?
>>579436819If you get a single reply at all it means it's fine, or at least memorable even if bad. If everyone ignores you that's a problem. Boring is worse than bad.
alright bros give it to me straight:is he good enough to be the main character in a stealth action game?
>>579436232His game jam isn't the thing that gets stickied. You know this you're trying to be vague enough to tip the narrative one way or another.
>>579437195More interested in the mannequin than Vapor Snake on his back
>>579437374Vapor Snake?I only see a mannequin.
>>579437374well fuck that is bad, what can I do to make him more interesting?
>>579437469Make him a woman with huge tits that make sloshing sounds when you're not sneaking.
>>579437469backwards baseball cap and an eyepatch or a cool scar
>>579437469good gameplay
>>579437469I understand wanting to make your stealth game character blend in and look unassuming, but you've gotta suspend reality. The protagonist of the game has to be memorable in some way. I'm not saying put him in a clown costume (though that would be a funny unlock/easter egg) but maybe do something to differentiate him from the background of the game. Unless it's first person, then I guess nobody really cares what the protag looks like.
>>579437469Give him glasses.
>>579437914>but you've gotta suspend reality. The protagonist of the game has to be memorable in some way.alright so just put more shit on him?
I think my chicuela idea would be better as a map painting game where you're the Shota and have to basically conquer the 512 chicuelas in the map.Maybe making it like a shogi game where the chicuelas live their lives walking between points that symbolize harem anime settihngs like school or mall.Maybe the map painting mechanics are like the order which you conquer the waifus, and the roguelike 2D rpg town is the battle map, which would be like DF adventure mode or powder.

Why aren't you making a sortslop game?
>>579439643too late to the party already, by the time I'm done there will be another *slop fotm
>>579439643I can't even sort the files on my pc let alone make a game about sorting

/AGDG/ - Steam Event Submissions Are Open!We're hosting and curating a Steam event for games made by (you). It's taking place later this year, and sign-ups are now open!The v3 event was a highlight for many devs, so definitely consider signing up for this: https://forms.gle/udv759Zeqp5weGw16
>>579441586i wanted to try doing it without segmented models. He is pushing 800 tris now, which is only about 100 more than mgs snake

>>579441875nice
>>579434996Yes. It's gonna crush your balls.
>>579442063AI slop
>>579442046I have nothing to do with this event. This is Betz-free.
i made a lil trailer for my steam page and i think im gonna put it in my game and force the player to watch it on every boot.
forgot the headset, added some more packs toois he memorable now?
>>579442568needs a few zippers and red accents
>>579442568He's like Solid Snake's autistic cousin

>>579435039start by making a (1) game
its ok anon, just make another game

>>579441875And Light Up the Dark will answer!
>>579442640alright added some zippers, belts, spikes, and an extra sword, and an eyepatch

tried to run it through AI and it literally created Snake
>>579445727the reddit spacing wasn't obvious enough Doakes?
>>579437195as a guy who has "the eye" for art. yeah he does fit the MC role but what you actually need to do is not worry about the model but give him a gruff voice liek david hayter basically thats what sold snake
>>579446157Your eye is bad
>>579441875I have no game.I have no name.
>>579446387i could take that model and make it good and i have faith in anon he can do that but your opinion is bad because u didnt even beat 1 single metal gear...
>>579446542Metal Gear was released 47 years ago. We don't do gi joe dudes anymore, and that's why he looks generic. Understand the time period you live in. No scrawny alphoomer wants to play a gi joe he wants a dommy mommy with huge tits he can jerk to 12 times a day.
>>579443601>no horn coming out of his head
>>579446542how do you make it good though? right now he looks like a generic enemy from Golden Eye for the Nintendo 64
kek
>>579448114Ok now this is epic
>>579447860of course he looks generic in fuckin blender dude metal gear lives on things like sfx and shadows he would look sick crouched in the shadows >>579447326bro the transformers movie is coming back in theaters we are doing gi joe dudes now. dont miss out.
>>579448621>bro the transformers movie is coming back in theatersYeah because the Air Force needs a recruitment bump DURRR

>>579459175doom and quake didn't have no fucking tutorial faggot

what's it gonna be?
>>579461240>cars from 1920 didn't have security bags>therefore having them is le badFunny how the only real improvement in videogames versus retro is QoL shit and agdg are like, mmm... basic shit in modern games like tutorials are le bad.
>>579458659you may think this shit is unnecesary but there are a ton of retarded devs that have zero quality assurance sense
>>579454679>>579455684i guess i could try writing, but my prose isn't as good as real writers, nor do i actually enjoy books. guess imf ucked.>>579455970literally the worst thing i could have read.
QoL is a self-defeating spiral, because it creates a baseline of hand-holding which retards players and then you have to keep making more which retards them worse.Imagine the difference with Super Mario 64 if it railroaded you to the castle doors.
>>579462190you cannot really talk about QoL in the context for old ass games because these games, relatively to what a modern game is, were laughably simple and dumb, they couldn't get any more trivial mechanically
>>579462190>Leaving players with no clue as to what to do is le good design because millenials spend 6 months figuring out shit in a pre internet worldNigga, even FRIV games have fucking tutorials.The average zoomer expect some first level with some banners explaining what to do.
>>579462518>relatively to what a modern game is, were laughably simpleModern games have not progressed past gen 7 in terms of complicated mechanics.I really don't know where this meme came from, where devs think they suddenly need 1 hour guided-tutorials to reteach implicit things we did 15 years ago.
>>579462928>15 years ago.whoops, i meant 20 years ago!
>>579462928what are you smoking a fucking vampire survivors game that's technically a walking simulator is like 50x more complex than nintendo turds from 90s and other arcades from before that

>>579468398two more weeks
>>579467459wow rude much?
i've spent like a week spamming claude about game ideas to the point where it has gotten mad at me for nodeving and basically refuses to keep talking to me about this
>>579468549Sorry, it was uncalled for.
>>579468165You still need to know to 3D to get over the last hurdle. Genned meshes need retopo, manual adjustments that need good quality sculpting, rigging, texturing etc
>>579468783claude is such a lil fuckin brat gpt 5.6 never does shit like thatits like they made it into a furby or some retarded shit
More running to the finish line. Yet another hurdle>stuff i set up here does not actually update the necessary data, it's just visuals to create the illusion of a functioning game>just sat there frustrated not being sure what to do to get the data working as needed>open up a note on my phone and start solidifying the process by which to achieve this-________- there is no more avoiding it, a lot of the work now is setting up the game to be truly playable by others. Is this why I've been more anxious recently? Last night was the second night where iirc I kinda just laid there feeling like I couldn't sleep, I did eventually fall asleep. It's not like the game is done or even close to done. If all the necessary code is in I still have all the art needed for it and that should take quite a while. Or maybe it's because for once I finally have a game that is feasible to get from start to finish in a reasonable amount of time? Or maybe it's because this game has huge GMI energy? Or maybe it's because time is of the essence and I need to work fast on releasing this game for fear of someone else making the same idea and beating me to release? Feels like this is it, once this game is done and releases, I will finally be free of ever re-entering the wagecage. Yet it feels heavy on me, idk why.
I'm making a game in sdl3 and Zig, very early stages obviously, picrel is just for visual interest, but my vision is for it to be similar to Pokemon but with customizable robotic characters and a better combat system (at least in a single player context, I've heard Pokemon PvP can be fun if you spend enough time learning it).Anyway, I've been thinking about how specifically to store level data and I was wondering how everyone felt about self-contained levels similar to WADs? I'd add the ability to reference a set of core assets so that the game's file size is still minimal of course, but I think it would be really cool if everything was mostly self contained and could be easily extended/altered by the end user.I think it'd also make things easier to manage since theoretically you could just allocate everything inside of it via an arena and free it when you're done, but I suppose that isn't necessarily dependent on organizing levels this way (it would probably make it easier to do so though, in my entirely uninformed opinion).
>>579470646>i'm making a game>just a repeated texture draw
>>579470717I said it was very very early stages and only for visual interest you jerk >:(
I was kind of living in a bubble. I signed up for Twitter and it turns out there are like 100s of devs making high quality polished indie games. I was not aware the bar to entry was that high and that the market was so oversaturated. This is no longer a niche hobby. Brvtal.
>>579471584wait til I raise the bar even higher nigga
>>579470646I would recommend making a couple of levels first by hardcoding a bunch of shit directly in your source code before deciding on a file format and structure. It makes it easier to add new stuff to your levels because you don't have the entire overhead of your file format to manage. Also as soon as you start making external files for your levels you'll make a detour into writing a level editor for it and you'll have double the work every time you want to alter it, once on parsing and once on writing to file. A problem RPGs have is a lot of your data is incredibly incestuous in that your level might seem standalone but it probably has enemies in it so it has to reference your enemy tables and your enemies have skills they use which are in their own section and they drop items that are also their own section. But then your items might have bonuses against certain enemies or alter the way certain skills work or abilities that require you to be standing on certain kinds of terrain and all of a sudden the stuff you tried to partition away into its own files have circular dependencies between them. And then you decide that you're autistic and you want to add an enemy in between enemy 6 and enemy 7 because you care about the order of that stuff and now you're stuck shifting IDs around and you end up needing to modify 17 different files to keep everything internally consistent. Focus on making a level or two first and then worry about how to store them later.

AAA cucks love to pretend, in their mind they need to fend, the mockery of such jockery, of what videogames used to be.But nothing more than indoctrination, the so called faction, of that nation, controled by the semites, which are nothing but mites upon gamers.AAA cucks have forgotten, what it meant to gotten all the coins and jumps and shoots, which they offshoot into a lame imitation of the creation of 1980 masters.What a fool they must be, to consume media, that is nothing but an encyclopedia of horros beyond our comprehension.Filled with greed, nothing but a deed to be burned in fire.
Need to make a list of all the popular lolis so I can make fanart of them and post them on my Twitter account to build an audience of lolicons ready to buy my lolislop
>>579472037That sounds like a good idea. I will say that I've already started writing a primitive parser for a tilemap format that I found online (Tiled's .tmx), mostly because doing everything required via hard coding seemed like it would get unmanageable very quickly, and Tiled should theoretically act as a pseudo-level-editor. I think once I have a way to load levels from that format I might just hardcode the rest on top until I work out all it will need.The pic I posted earlier is actually the result of hooking that parser up to my current tile drawing code without adding any functionality for it to tell what tile it should draw, so on the bright side it shouldn't be too long of a process.I hadn't considered how interconnected an RPG's codebase is likely to be, that is a very good point.

Is the sunk cost that strong?
Well it seems I stopped caring enough.>make the code super well done and easy to follow?>just put it together and release the game before the spaghetti falls apartI've veered off to the second category. Like why make it super great if the moment it's done I never have to update it again. Maybe bugs here and there or DLC but unironically why not do this? Idk how long it would take me to make it nice and clean. But the trouble of having to do some of the setup manually is a lot quicker than sitting here thinking up the perfect solution...actually I just had an idea....hmm but do I want to implement it and will it be quick? Kinda don't feel like thinking about it and just going full steam ahead, maybe when I'm in bed I'll think about it.>>579482461I have more trouble getting the discipline to actually work on my game despite being a NEET.

Doomer blogpost follows, filter "days left" and never see one of these again.Happy worst of the month to fellow rentoids. For the first time in 10 years I'm late with my rent. It brings back unpleasant memories and dread for what the future holds.59 days left until I permanently run out of money. My game won't be done by then and even if it were, I'm not giving it more than a 10% chance of making even $2000. It's too late to make anything else except look for a job, probably in a warehouse. I don't know, I've never had to look for a job.I'm still working on that procgen system. It works, sort of, even if in hindsight it was a huge waste of time.

It's those details that are very simple to implement, like NPC dialogues, dialogues reacting to special moves, fleeing from the main character, showing emotions, reacting to seeing their dead friends, having steering behaviors, doing super powerful but slow attacks. I feel like these are things I would like enemies to have, but in most games, it feels like they don't give the enemy much personality, they're just cannon fodder.
>>579499291Isn't wanting enemies to react emotionally to their dead friends a bit sadistic
>The small dopamine hit when something works on the first trytheoretically I'm two lines of code from a working dumb enemy.

>>579413472>But exhausting content is a design and mindset issue for the dev. You need to design consumable AND replayable contentCan you elaborate more on the consumable vs replayable content thing so I can take notes for my future MMO I will totally make at some point?
>>579502325>FPS <30its uhhh good enough, ship it
Would it be safe to say that game design is the hardest part of game development? It is already difficult to create a game, but to design a game that is consistently enjoyable to play - that players leave satisfied with - seems even more difficult.
>>579503524Nah, it's easy. It's not something you're supposed to do alone though, you're supposed to go play your game with other people.
>>579503482You try running unity editor screen recording on my potato and see where that gets you.

>>579504381>idea: using ai agents as playtesters and having them roleplay as various demographics>thoughts?I imagine that if you can use them to model the player demographic behavior to some degree of accuracy it would be useful for balancing, but for broader design choices I think anything other than real humans won't do.
>>579504201so it's, cumming your gf, but faster?
had what seemed like a pretty decent datethis is progresshaving a cute gf will allow me to make games never seen before, and other gamedevs cant compete
>>579504978having a girlfriend is literally the minimum requirement for having a successful game. now having two cute girlfriends who spend all their free time brainstorming for new ways to please you, that would be a competitive advantage over other gamedevs
>>579504978>>579505171I wish I had this...
>>579505171what if a hypothetical gamedev had 3 gfs? would he release the ultimate game?
>>579505293Personally, I would underperform with 3 due to the wobbly table paradox.
>>579505293I think at 2 you start hitting severely diminishing returns unless you could have them help with your game somehow in a more direct way. but I've never had 3 girlfriends unless you count situationships (and two of them dumped me in a couple of weeks and I wasn't even a gamedev then) so maybe someone can experiment and let us know?
>>579505452so 4 is where its at? I knew a guy who had 5 gfs at one point (he was a neet so he had a lot of free time)
>>579505508On the contrary. I think 3 people (dev+2 cute gfs) make the game development stable, like a 3-legged table. But 4 people can make it wobbly like a 4-legged table (that thing about 3 vertices making 1 plane and 4 vertices being able to make 2 planes).
It's impossible to think small enough scope to be fun, or without multiplayer involved.
>>579506361fun is nothing to do with scope.
i think video games have a really fucked problem.the problem is that "the market" is treated as a public space. but fantasy is something deeply private and unconstrained.the market has rules and government laws. but fantasy is all about capturing something that is forbidden in public.
>>579506867just make clicks feel good and number go up
>>579506867is that what fantasy is about? for me, I want a game where you play as a cop and enforce the law.

I've got a Godot architecture question for you guys.I'm working on an RPG in Godot that will have a fair amount of enemies. I've been storing them all as .tres files with their names, stats, moves, visuals, whatever associated data. Would it make more sense to have some big object with all their information where I can look it up with a Dictionary based on an ID/key per enemy? Not exactly sure which is more efficient or if this matters at all, but I've seen references to "enemy tables", "dialogue tables", etc stored as .csv files in different posts and guides about RPG development.
>>579507427>I didn't know how bad it sounded. nobody said anything about the sound! over 200 people played it!it probably doesn't matter then, but it's important for the level of fidelity/quality to be consistent. it will become noticeable if something sounds/looks better than everything else, so either use some shittier sound effects or improve them all

Yes, she will be supportive, though that's not a guarantee, and also if she's into this kind of thing she'll be good to bounce ideas off of.However you will miss out on a lot of dev time because you'll be spending so much time with her. If she's really special to you then you won't mind that though.

would it be foolish to assume a major hurdle for indie game sales is the length of time a game is designed to be played for in a single sessionin this attention economy it's difficult to acquire more than 5 minutes of attention from the average consumersome of us are making games intended for 3+ hour sessions of full immersion with zero distractionseven if your game is good, it's hard to believe you'll find enough people in this brainrotted era who are willing to engage with this experience for you to make decent salesjust a thought, consider it if you will
>>579512434low attention span is an absolute myth. just because your product is shit and people have better options doesn't mean they have a low attention span. people play games for 8+ hours without a break, even singleplayer games.

My game its pretty easy but you need to spend a few minutes understanding the system and pressing buttons to see what it does. I will not have time to add a tutorial for the demo, would that be a problem for some of you?
>>579515170Looks like a bot for an MMO game.
>>579514708I would draw right on top of animator survival kit walk cycles.
>>579515363Well the game is about automating behavior of your jobs for dungeon crawling, I guess it makes sense
fuck yeah brother
>>579515831Yeah that makes sense but I feel like if anyone botted before it will be easy to grasp but otherwise it will be complex, people are retarded in general, on Discords/Forums for these types of software for games they would usually need MS Paint tutorials with arrows and stuff explaining step by step because the vast majority of users of these paid bots were dumb as bricks; but I guess if your target audience is people wanting an automation game they may be a bit smarter.
Enjoying niche games is a bad feeling. Few people enjoy what you enjoy. The games you want to play are rare. The games you want to make are doomed to receive seemingly unjust but fully logical criticism. You lack the mental fluidity to make something with greater "general appeal". It feels like a march to inevitable doom. Walking into failure, because you are simply an inherently odd being. Bad feeling.
>>579516784I'm curious if this is true, or if you're just a coward who wants to be a cool kid and choose to fail before you even start because failure is your comfort zone.
>>579516110>on rails fps shooter
>>579516784I think what you’re describing is a particularly painful version of the indie-dev problem: your taste is narrower than the market, and your own taste is the thing you most naturally know how to create.That can make the future feel almost mathematically predetermined.You might indeed make games that never earn enough to live on. That's a real possibility. But “I have unusual taste” doesn't establish that conclusion.You probably don't need to become more “normal.” You may need to become unusually good at the other half of the job: finding the people who are already strange in exactly the same direction as you, and making it extremely easy for them to recognize that your game is for them.The goal isn't necessarily to make a game that everyone wants.It might be to make the game where 2,000 people think:“Wait. Someone made this specifically for me?”Those people are much more valuable to a niche creator than 200,000 mildly interested people.
>first person shooter shooterrip in peace in irl life
>>579516784They are rare, which makes devving in this niche feel more important. I might be making a top 5 game in this genre, maybe, ok, maybe top 10.

genuinely yanderedevs game i don't even know the name of looks like boring ass garbage but for some reason it still gained enough attention to become an internet mememeanwhile you probably show your game to zero people and act surprised when it fails lmaojust learn marketing genuinely that's all it takes is a few months of honest effort and you'll figure out how to find audiences and communicate your game to themdon't be lazy just accept the amount of time it'll take to do this scales near exponentially with how niche your game isyeah some slop made for retarded 8 year olds can blow up over night if a big youtuber plays it but who cares, just be patient, you can't make that garbage anyways so give up, keep making your niche shit and accept it might take years of honest effort to build up the audience you'll need
>>579513293It all depends how old you are, how much time you have. If you're like 14 and have a ton of time, sure, go balls deep writing your own engine, learn a lot, become a serious developer if that's your dream. If you're like 29, then just make a game using the best tools for the job. At some point you must transition from being full of potential, to execution. That's something our culture doesnt' do well, understanding that at some point it's not about learning, it's about executing, producing. It also depends on goals. I don't personally want to be a top tier dev, I want to make great games. There's overlap to some extent, but I'd rather achieve that goal by running a business well. Get the business going by making lowcost games and hopefully build momentum and eventually just hire software engineers for more and more aggressive games.

>>579517556>PlayWayHe got paid already. Sales don't really matter
>>579519665Not bad for some discussions though they tend to be unrealistically optimistic.IndieDev also has some posters who are making apps/websites/other software, and gamedev has a lot of AAA devs posting about their jobs. gamedev is better for me since it's more relevant to what I'd want to read.Both are still insanely swamped by a billion "how do I start" posts and not gatekept enough.Don't ever try to advertise your games there, it's the wrong audience and also it will get drowned out by the noise.I've seen some pretty cool tech demos/guides though, and shared a few of my own that got some traction and people found helpful.That being said, I stopped using Reddit a long time ago.
>>579520472Advertising on Reddit in general through just posting never works. Any subreddit that doesn't explicitly ban self promotion gets swamped by so many posts that you'll just get drowned out in the noise.I've heard buying ads on Reddit actually works, though I've never tried it myself.

>>579516228>6228▶>>>579515831 (You)I guess you are right, I fully expect to receive harsh critics on that aspect for this demo. But still, even if I do a tutorial, it will need a lot of reiteration to not make it bothersome or ultra simple.
>>579520928no
>>579496502do you have a very bright monitor? I have to really try to see this
>>579520928The "playable slice" of my game at this point is so small I'm not sure it's even worth submitting. It's supposed to be an RPG but all I really have is a rudimentary battle system so far. I could submit a few test battles so I can get feedback on the mechanics, since it's a little different than typical RPG battles, but I don't know if that's even worth it yet.
>>579521359I think if you can make a demo that focuses on just testing the battle system provided it accurately reflects the core system then it would be good idea to get some feedback early on based on the MVP before you go deep with the full implementation. It really depends how much of the actual final system is implemented though.
>>579520928Please don't use that word, it scares me. I'm never going to be r**dy.

One of my favorite things about certain ROTK games is that they treat you like an average Joe. If you're a subordinate officer, you're only in charge of your own unit in battle, whereas a ruler has full control of their units. I included that feature here, and I'm having a lot of fun working with my AI-controlled comrades and following their battle plan rather than having full control over my forces. I also think this sort of gameplay divide is a great way to let new players get their feet wet without being overwhelmed.Thanks for reading my plog (my progress blog.)

>>579526323The Romance of the Three Kingdoms series is a long-running grand strategy and tactical role-playing game franchise developed by Koei (now Koei Tecmo), originating in 1985. The games are based on the classic Chinese novel and historical records, featuring turn-based management of cities, armies, and generals during the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history. Series Overview and ReleasesThe franchise has produced fourteen main numbered installments, with the latest being Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV, released on January 16, 2020. The series distinguishes between two primary gameplay styles:Ruler Play: Managing a faction’s economy, diplomacy, and armies from a strategic map (e.g., RTK XI, RTK XIV).Officer Play: Controlling a single character’s journey, battles, and relationships (e.g., RTK VII, RTK VIII, RTK XIII).

Alternatively, if you just keep all the resources of that type under the same directory, you can just scan that directory.

>>579531150you just gotta flopdev until you're a mildly successful dev,
>>579530832I don't know how to make a shit game.
I'm going to shadow drop my game with no marketing and leave it in the hands of the universe. If I'm meant to make it, I will; if I'm not, I'd have floped all the same.
>>579531150flopdevs are sexy as hell
>>579531372based and fatalismpilled
>>579530836Right now it's just a directory called "enemies" with a subfolder for each distinct enemy and a generic folder that contains moves/abilities/AI behavior common to multiple enemies.This system has worked so far but it could get annoying to manage pretty quickly. I'll look into YARD, I haven't heard of that.But basically every character including enemies has a "definition" object that stores all the data that make them up (stats, moves, AI, visuals, etc)
>>579531203There is a big difference between nodev (has never released a game) and nodev (proven he can make games, but chooses not to) thoughbeit.
>>579531739proven he can release games you mean?
>>579531739
>>579531372I did that and made it. by which I mean I got lucky. my second and third game flopped hard and now I'm making my fourth
>>579531871Yeah I really just mean someone who will regret having never tried to make a game due to lack of skill or lack of confidence and someone who successfully released games and it either didn't work out or they just lost interest in game dev after.
>>579531739If build something that resembles a helicopter, but there's no way it can ever fly, did you really build a helicopter?If you build something that resembles a game, but there's no way to get anyone to play it, did you really build a game?
>>579531372a good way to do that is to do a lot private playtests first. that got me to a good game that was also very playable by people other than me, and then my shadow drop was a success.

If I developed a game and it flopped that would be more like developing a functional, flying helicopter but being unable to sell it for whatever reason. You still need to market that helicopter, and convince people to use it over what they currently use. Failing to do that is failing at the business level, and still a huge disappointment. You still made a helicopter though.

>>579532345It's not a false equivalency. Any aircraft that is capable of reliable and consistent aerial transportation is guaranteed to make significant revenue and any game that is capable of attracting and holding players' attention can is guaranteed to make significant revenue. Cargo cultists see a spinning propeller and conclude they have a functional product even though when they put it to any real test, the aircraft doesn't fly. Marketing isn't going to save a bad game that no one wants to play.

>>579532341I am skeptical of posts like this. Something like this could be possible, for sure, but they're only showing a tiny slice for a reason.I've seen a bunch of posts like this from other Pajeets and Abduls with AI-yassified profile pictures about the same thing. I've even tried a few of these platforms and they break every time, or stall out for a while then time out.Actually, he links his product in the replies, which seems to have nothing to even do with game development. It's some kind of AI content creation studio. For all we know this is just a video he generated and not even a game at all.
>>579532047what were they?and how lucky did you get for the first one, in terms of reviews or sales?

>>579534284Planes are a physical good with a ton of precision machined parts that you must guarantee to be reliable, especially for commercial, passenger, or military use.Factor in the labor of engineers and technicians too.A commercial plane costs hundreds of millions of dollars to manufacture. That's just for one plane. I just looked this up and found a few sources so I'm not just pulling this out of my ass.Even if you did make a plane, you'd have to market it and sell it too, which you're dismissing as trivial.You make your indie game once and spend at most a few thousand bucks on it, and then you can sell infinite copies.I could go on and on if you're not convinced.Passenger and cargo transport is a necessary part of the economy and games are a luxury good.People will waste money on a game even if it looks bad, because at worst it crashes and they leave a bad review. If a plane crashes, that's a much bigger problem for obvious reasons.Regardless, plenty of plane manufacturers have gone out of business because the revenue wasn't guaranteed even though their planes worked.After having written all of this I realize you're probably just baiting, or just really wanted an excuse to post those videos (which are admittedly pretty funny) so I guess you got me in the end.
>>579534793>her own games
>>579534793Her business is content creation, not game development.If she is working on games, gamedev doesn't lend itself to weekly uploads so you won't really make money on YouTube just talking about your games.
>>579535553There are planes other than commercial jet liners. You can get a reasonable fixed wing or helicopter suitable for a taxi, tourism (e.g. skydiving or boar hunting), or crop dusting business for $400k-800k.I'm not baiting. I don't think you (and most other flop retards here) understand just how complicated video games really are. Lives may not be at stake when your video game crashes or fails to take off, but that doesn't mean they are any less complicated than airplanes.
>>579535926know what?
chatgpt is like my friend that devs alongside me. i'm parasocial.
>>579536648You were saying that if you made a plane you're guaranteed to get money for it. The fact that any airline manufacturer has gone out of business is proof that that's false.Now you're moving the goalposts and calling me a retard because you know that you're wrong.

>>579535182it would be impressive if AI was used, trying to wring that out of a chat bot seems nigh hopeless
>>579550072ahh poo, was the game file larger than 4gb? might be why it got corrupted if the thumbdrive format is fat or something you might have to reformat the drive to the correct listing and then it will fit properly

>>579549614this is why on windows you have to actually press "eject" in the task bar instead of yanking out the flash drive btw, you've gotta let the system finish a drive flush
Lives, rooms, and game over. Now for the first boss, or maybe anti-boss.
>>579549614Why can't you just zip the game and put it on itch or google drive? Or if they're all your computers just download and compile the source code. Unless you're testing on console that should work, right?

>>579535182This is such a backhanded compliment, just insult the guy. Have some backbone. Accuse him of using AI. State your reasons, or just say it looks like shit. It's obvious you don't like what you see.

>>579560578Also, I haven't played music in a really long time. Think I want to use FL Studio 12 but if anyone has any other recommendations that are at least a one time purchase and not a subscription I'd be interested in making music like this for the game, I almost edited some waveloops using my Surface Poo but it's dying and I don't know how to transfer FL studio 12 from computer to computer Is that even possible? Pirate Bay is too sketch to use with my gamedev laptop

>>579561194everyones gonna call me retarded but you can just use the logic pro trial and keep resetting the date its what i do to get dolby atmos for free so its actually gigabrained but retarded
is it against steam policy to advertise my other game within another game? like have it in main menu "check out my other game?"
>>579565669no because sonic adventure has crazy taxi ads
>>579565765let me add on this just get creative with it like sega and put it as a billboard or something not just a hey check out my other shit make it fit into the game better it should be 100% missable for it to be considered good to me
>>579565669i've definitely played other games where the devs have main-menu ads for their most current one
prototype over, serious calculation mode :(
It's such a weird thing that's happening right now. On one hand, I feel bad for luddite devs because what they take weeks to implement through sweat and tears AI can do in a couple days tops. On the other hand, the vibecode bros don't know shit about directing and designing games, so the slop is completely soulless and doesn't really play good. I think the most powerful person on earth right now in the gamedev scene is somebody who has already a lot of game design experience, great vision, great attention to detail and interleaves development with AI. Work on your game yourself, use AI to speed up through the boring and tedious parts etc.
>>579568346yeah the designer of Minecraft and the designer of World Of Warcraft don't know shit about directing and designing gamesstop looking at gay "one shot" vibe code twitter shit nigga
they fixed EVERYTHINGhttps://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-6-6-is-now-available/1735357
>>579568735Nigger did you even read? I'm explicitly trying to separate the one shot vibe niggers from people who use AI who know how to make games.
notch is the definitive 1trick
>>579568809So is Jonny Blowie. So is Eric Barone. The only real Gs are John Carmack, Todd Howard, Video Game Kojima and Sid Meier.
>>579568802People who use AI and know how to make games apparently don't know how to make games since they use AI to make the game for them.
>>579568346Assuming money isn't an issue, AI is still worse than asset stores and Fiverr. If you couldn't make a game before with assets and Fiverr, then you're not making a game now with the help of AI.
>>579569015I think Braid (2008) and The Witness (2016) are different tricks
>>579569483the witness is a shitty game whose free copy was made in like a month and was even better than the OG
>>579569561It was so good it was copied and both the original and copy are successful?
>>579569679it only sold because people thought jonny blowie was not a one trick pony, order of the big stinky after the witness disappointment won't do as well, it probably won't make back the $30m it cost to develop, not a chance
>>579569759They would have rated the game negatively instead of positively if they didn't like it
I'm pretty close to a demo day entry now. I'll try to improve the cpu movements a little (they are too defensive now) or add a final kick/punch.The entry will be quite bare bones. There's only a few moves and the UI is mostly placeholder but its *playable*.I've added the scoring system which mimics competitive karate a little. The Cpu can make use of the dash fwd/bwd and they'll attempt to avoid oncoming strikes.After the demo the UI will have an overhaul, I want to create a trainer / referee character and add another game mode.
Wish I had a Star Citizen-level grift going on. Just need like 1% of their funds. Oh well, the wage slaving continues tomorrow while I pursue this uphill game dev dream.
>>579534909Nothing that I'm aware of, she's a nodev.
I just discovered that there's diferent fundamental layers to a song.>Main Melody>Counter Melody>Bass>Arpeggios>Ear candy>Pads>Drum kitEach layer has diferent instruments that only work with that layer.And each layer has a bunch of motifs that only work with the same layer.A rising drum like pattern only works with plucking instruments and can only work as bass or ear candy.A ladder motif or a hook, only works with woodwinds, flutes, brass, piano and can only work for counter melody or main melody at half and quarter notes with some fast eight note arpegios syllabes.Counter melody is a response half phrase to the main melody.Drum kit layer can be used as ear candy riffs or to give variation to a repetition of a section.Pads require chords but they can be done as a ladder chord or piano or bass stacatto or drone.

Man I wish I could chime in to say something in the current discussion happening on the 'cord right now but I don't want to expose myself.
>>579578151screenshot it and post your reply here
>>579570416interesting, the wall scrolls and benches react the moment of the loss, not the moment of the impact of the body on the floor. if intentional, that might be giving the hit some extra impact while there are no vfx, but it was odd enough to me that I had to go back and check the timing.
Game design is the hardest part of gamedev.
>>579578085"MegaTexture" was awesome, I want to use that tech.
>>579579376I discovered it's easier when you have random playtesters/strangers playing it on a whim and recording themselves, so there's no expectation they are being watched by the dev.
>>579579376just copy a good game and you dont have to worry about game design
>>579579376it's the art, game design you can just use your brain, art you have to be born with the talent for it
Going on vacation and want to make come coding proggy on the plane, but my only laptop is Ubuntu. How's Unity on Linux these days? Worth setting up or should I not bother?
>>579579912>art you have to be born with the talent for ittalent exists, but it's a multiplier, and untalent artists are the majority of working professional artists.
>>579576425how do you think of layers in terms of genre cris?
>>579580432>want to make come coding proggy on the planeyou'll get kicked off the plane
>>579579912Most successful indie games have extremely simple art anyone can make. There's no way you can tell me you need to be born with the ability to make the art in like Minecraft, Peak, Meccha Chameleon, or Undertale

>demo is due in 2 weeks>need to practically finish the game by next festyet I'm getting sidetracked by workflow "improvements" instead
I've been making all my assets myself and texturing takes hours besides tiny models. Am I doing something wrong here or is this just normal?
>>579584215substance nigguh
>>579584215That's why you shouldn't be making a game that requires tons of bespoke models as a solodev. That's for real game studios who can have an office just for the artslaves.
>>579534793>going to university for game development Genuinely ngmi as a game dev, at least it's good she has youtube.
>>579584901More GMI than dropout retards living in mom's basement like most flopdevs here
>>579584860I'm making a small game. Was just checking if I was doing something wrong.
making the world a better placeone loli game at a time
>>579585249Most successful devs never attended "game dev school." Just a scam/waste of time basically.
>>579585597Most successful devs have at least a bachelors in something relevant.
>>579585249retarded simp
>>579585597It depends, 90 percent are. If they have a game dev program though that's like a sub program or degree people double major in while getting like a comp sci degree that's a little different. There are in fact very successful games that came out of programs like that at good schools. Portal and Outer Wilds both came from student projects at schools like that I'm pretty sure

NEW THREAD>>579589267>>579589267>>579589267
>>579582163The value range is quite small. I tried editing it, exaggerated the range, and then compared it to some other games. also the chromatic aberration? is not helping, there is this sense that my eyes are out of focus. The contra rogue corps image I have here has low range too, but all in the bright range, making it look quite flat.
