What makes your game special?
>>580023301cuz its made by me and an underpaid argentinian girl
>>580023301Desperation
Progress:Just decided to not submit my game this demon day because I don't have one.
>>580023301It's game I like + another game I like except it was never made before
>>580023301being autistic as fuck where every single armor point/ ammunition is tracked and needs to be salvaged/bought. Full EWAR/sensor simulation taking into account terrain/jamming/ECM/stealth with datalinking.And competent non-cheating NPC AI that will murder the player if they fuck up.Proggy: some refinement on damage visuals, split out scorch marks from the armor dents, they used to be 1 channel. Now individual laser dents/impact marks can be read without blobbing together.
>final play test before I upload to itch.io and submit to demo day>one of the scripted tutorial battles randomly assigned enemy a shield modifier to their dice so they had 2 HP left after the attack that should have ended the fight>hard lock>need to rebuild and test again
>>580023301It has a lot of detail.
I'm noticing a severe lack of fanart. Anyone else notice that too?
>>580024587>randomlyYour entire game is a randomly generated series of tokens. What did you expect?
>>580023106>OP bakes a proper threadNow that's the good stuff!
>>580024919I built a system that lets you take an enemy's equipment, meaning their dice, after defeating them. You can then use those dice to modify your own at the workshop later. I just forgot to disable that system for the scripted battles.

>>580025715>getting ideas and insight from /v/
>>580023301I-I don't know how to answer this without revealing my great game idea, the gameplay is interesting though. And I can't really point at the art side of things right now since it's mostly if not entirely just placeholders. I'm mostly only doing code now and then art at the end. But I really think this game is going to do well.
>>580024113Erm sis how does it go from the skinny version on the left to a full fledged mech robot?

Smooth shading or nah? is the VHS shader too much of a gimmick?
>>580028917new toy story looks weird
Since the opinion on Three.js seems to have shifted in the last few years, if someone were to say make a "Roblox" type ecosystem for the browser so you could just drag and drop and script, and everything was multiplayer, would you guys use it to make some games? Bring back the old Gmod era?
AImaxxing rn
>>580029271vhs is cool but the wave motion is not vhs like. smooth shading is ok here. hardly enough to go off in this scene though, just pipes seem affected
>>580024894I noticed it. I might do something about it after I play some demos.
made a simple ui widget and a small test scene, but accidentally made it nowhere nearly as wide as i originally intended. thankfully its still relatively easy to get around it so thats a good sign, a road this narrow would probably be reserved for the most difficult stages
https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-70/rate/4741228The new Marotte submission is available for download.I can now go to sleep now.
>>580030796I refuse to play an AI game that makes fairies taller than they should be
>>580031028Onnahole sized fairies are nice. You hands should still wrap around her waist nicely.
>>5800310281. She is NOT a fairy.2. We call them FLAMS, with a hard M.
>>580031197If you call them that then you are banned from the Fairy Friday threads. Should have planned better.
stop spamming that aislop game

>>580031384who are you talking to?

>>580030796Game has me jacking, but not cumming. What are these tits?
>>580031895The common enemies you encounter in later fights have significantly bigger knocks.
Is this new gpt thing that much better than claude for making games, or did AI deving just massively catch on all of a sudden? The amount of decent looking one shotted projects this week have been massive compared to when claude fable came out.
>>580031684>>580031782now what does niig mean? another aishitter slang like luddite?
>>580032108Just another way of calling someone a luddite (and nigger).
Guys why am i so painfully average?
>>580032086My impression from /vcg/ is its not as good or at best on par with fable, but I haven't used it, maybe it happens to be better at gamedev? Could also just be that GPT users are more likely to make games and post about them for whatever reason
>>580032580Less than a month of wagie salary.
Me after making it
>>580032580>median time played 12 minutesYou are actually painfully below average, and if you click that link, Steam tells you just that.
>>580032086We know that OpenAI paid a bunch of influencers to show off curated prompts. They were given early access and a shit load of free tokens. Open AI is desperate to recapture what they lost to Anthropic.
>>580032580game?
>>580032684That would be almost 2 years of my thirdie salary
>>580033338>need to make less money to make itThirdies are too powerful
>>580032580That's really insanely good for 12 minutes. 3000+ people bought your game?!
>>580032684The gross is about 2-3 months gross salary from working retail at a well paying company and I literally mean stuff like stocking shelves.
>>580033676>3000+ people bought your game?!Well they shouldn't have, coz it sucks.
>>580034069only 378 thought it sucked. what is your review rating?

I hate Godot's IK system, so finicky. Anyways the butt jiggle from shooting works well lmao.
i'll never understand how a button with white background, a black border and black text in it is considered "ui design". there's is no design to it.they can name it "html/css tutorial" or so, but calling it "ui design tutorial" is so fucking stupid. ui design is pic related.
>>580038851shhhhh. I don't want more devs making detailed border UI. I need to stand out .

Sending someone away on hit with follow-up requiring the attacker to actually out-jump/out-position them via object traversal converts "opponent is helpless while gravity does the work" into "opponent is helpless only if you earned the positioning to keep up with them."

AHAHAHA YES!dopamine released!I have a rather dumb enemy that turns if he "hears" something, chases blindly if he sees you and a generic attack that can fit most melee attacks.My goal was sep17 for a functioning player, 2 enemies and a game that starts to look appealing, so my next tasks are nice player and enemy meshes, animations first pass and then basic level design. very simple to achieve if I don't procrastinate.

My game is coming along so nice, it would've taken me literally months (at smaller pace years)
reminder that as a gamedev you will not benefit from AI. even great games will have been made worthless by advances in AI simply by their quantity

There are currently over 250 games set with a release date on Steam for 29 September 2026, as of this moment.
>>580044039yeah its too much competition, you should quit and give up. leave the thread, find something else to do. it's over for you, you have no chance. bye.
>>580043912or just like stop asking and start answering, then make a discord group and gatekeep

>>580044954>UghTrannyTroonDiscord>I really need this game of mine to succeed. There are ideas I want to make but they take time and I need the money to do them in a feasible time frame. Having to work and make them is just not gonna be a fun time, it'd probably take a long time that way where I'm going to be very desperately hoping it does well. There's also the far more limited time to learn the things I want to do at high quality.ACK
I was going to submit my game to demo day, but it's so good that it would just embarrass the other devs, so I decided against it.
Ugh I really need this game to succeed. There are ideas I really, really want to make but they take time and I need the money to do them in a feasible time frame at the level of quality I want.

>>580045448dont you find it funny how some seem to think this has no effect on high quality games? as if a higher number wont influence the ability to find said games.
>>580045448>400Grim. How are so many suddenly coming out now? The odds are terrible when my game might just end up hidden in the large pile of games releasing.

The reason your life is shit is because you are offered beauty, but you are addicted to drama. Beauty isn't always attractive, it requires appreciation. People will consume gore and degeneracy, but not listen to classical music. And then they wonder why they are depressed.
>>580045697I think indies need to wake up to the reality that the age of free advertisement is over and they'll have to start accounting for that aspect ever since the game's inception, much like how they do when they think about the game engine they use. Reserve some funds to invest into it, or think up modern social media marketing strategies. Yeah it sucks, yeah devs before us didn't have to do it, they could just focus on making a fun game and the rest would sort itself, but the golden age is over and the sooner you accept it the sooner you'll make the right choices for your success.

the bots in this thread aren't making sense
isnt it funny how the more approachable gamedev becomes the less people interact with gamedev communities
>>580046058Now your game can be cloned from advertisement material alone. The current strategy of >Just allow every game in the world on steam and let the devs deal with itIs outdated. There needs to be curation or the price of entry needs to be raised.

>>580046216>Now your game can be cloned from advertisement material alone.Not to the same quality with the same interaction between systems. ai can't see the data until you upload a public build.I suspect development will become a lot less public from now on if your game has a low implementation barrier.like the needle in a haystack meme.
>>580047269Will we hit 40000 new games on Steam in 2026 or do we have to wait for 2027 for that? Once we get there 1% of games go past 1k reviews. In 2016 it was 10%.

>>580047670I am kinda curious how many of these new slopdevs will stick to it. Will we see the usual dropout rate where most devs only release one game or will these slopdevs try more than once. It could be that in a year or two a bunch of people who wanted to try making games with AI have made one and there's going to be a sharp fall off in games released because it is not worth their time even when AI does most of the work. I think there is a chance the novelty will wear off once they find out they are not gonna make money from doing it. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic. Let's just say I hope this is what will end up happening.
>>580048053
>>580047831Developers will be forced to make more complex games and not just Vampire Survivors/Flappy Bird/meme shit. Honestly this is a good thing for the industry and games as a whole, it raises the bar for everyone. Not so much if you're a slopper though.

gonna have raytracing working by the end of tonight for both lighting and shadows.
400 to 600 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 3500 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 500 games a day, 15000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2027HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY

What are your problems?I won't be able to solve them, but I am willing to listen.
Let's face it. At my current level of art (in)competence I can't dream of making professional looking games. I'll make my learning games with the art I'm capable of, and if I'm lucky they'll be called schizokino instead of merely ugly.

>>580048659All problems go back to Valve's pigshit algorithm which artificially limits the number of successful games to 400 or so btw.Actually its really LESS than 400 and more anons need to realize that because on average 10% of the games reaching 1k reviews are porn games so really only 360ish real games a year make it.
>>580048858yeah yeah buddy>>580048886any proof for this? do we have access to these algorithms?
source: i made it up haha
>>580048886>360ish real games a year make it.250 games a day and 360 will reach 1k reviews a year. Oh just fucking laugh!
>>580048114>this is actually a good thing<_< man your type is insufferable. It will not stop such games from existing. Instead it will cause such devs to eventually realize they should keep the game a secret until release followed by thousands of cloners copying it the moment it shows success. Though some will obviously go for higher level ideas but that will likely be>devs who can't scope and end up trapped 10 years on some ngmi game>talented devs who will now push the less talented ones out ie most of aggy daggyIt's a lose lose for current devs. Raising the bar? The only one benefitting from that is gamers so no not a good thing for gamedevs. Not to mention your optimistic mindset implies it will go a specific way where anything "low quality" fails which is not true otherwise the games you clearly hate would not be succeeding here and now.
>>580048918yeah yeah yeahhttps://youtu.be/ySp-u9kWVaQ?si=CNBySH2gqgH0_O2Q&t=164

It's the reason I picked up game dev to begin with, so I'm glad we're heading in that direction. I could always just go back to my regular programming job if everyone suddenly started releasing great games I'd like to play. (Won't actually happen this decade though.)
>>580049157This is the kind of braindead bullshit non-game that succeeds under valve's tyranny because tiktok is everything.

>>580049741How so? It is right there on the recap I posted.
>>580049318Funny when at least 1 anon unironically believes that all the extra games releasing must simply be low quality and somehow talent worldwide is capped at ~400 to ~500 games being very good per year
>>580048832These look so bad. We can be thankful that engines opened up solo gamedev to the only devs worth a shit - artists
>>580049718The other possibility is that steam is completely and utterly infested with bots and the number of real players (excluding the Chinese) has been stagnant for a decade.
>>580049846Newfags don't know what the recap is, it was ages ago since we last had recaps.
>>580049318there is a slight upwards trend in the 500+ review game category

>>580049858If self delusion is required for me to get to the next screen, I'll cultivate self delusion. It's just the kind of thing it's meant for. Animals don't suffer from self delusion, and neither did earlier species of humans. It had to be evolved and it's so common because it helps us survive

Reminder there are people here or are subtly or not so subtly trying to doompill you into giving up so they feel better about not finishing or even trying anything.Make that game, things will work out.

I just realize now that agdg not longer discusses which is the best engine.Shit, I'm old, lmao.I still remember the polycode binaries are out meme.
>>580050119Valve is just lazy and they don't change stuff when its not broken (and even broken stuff they rarely change). All games used to be visible and searchable on steam, they started hiding games by default later when asset flipping really bad. The 400 game limit might have been a shitty bandaid fix they never bothered changing.
I'll not be doompilled. I'll make a game. You'll see.
my biggest fear is the industry becoming so competitive i'll need to reveal my face to market my game, like the no mans sky guy, since it's basic human psychology for people to care more about something if there's a person attached to itif i need to present myself in public and in front of cameras and start talking to people to sell my games due to saturation of faceless digital promotion methods, i will return to manual labor

genuinely what is your marketing strategy
I didn't do my full 5 hour quota yesterday because I was in pits of despair over everything and couldn't concentrate. Donuts would have fixed it but anything that tastes good is forbidden. So here's fat camp dessert following a fat camp breakfast.54 days left until I run out of money. I now owe 2500 minutes of work. Today I'll be adding some more art assets and tuning their spawning locations and then I'll move on making player deaths more satisfying to look at.
So what's the new meta, keep my game a secret until release? I don't want to show it and get copied by 10 solo devs and 10 indie companies. It's genuinely a game I think will earn me a lot of money and I don't want to lose out on that wealth just because someone copies my idea. Guys I'm scared.

>>580050584depends. is your game's concept so original and novel and new but yet so easy to reproduce?I let everyone have access to all my assets and everything because I know it can never be used to make any other game but mine.

>>580050584make a decoy game, not revolutionary, just a clone, that seems still reasonably good and gains 2k wishlists, then just before release, reveal the real one and replace the storepage with the real details

>>580050824false advertising scam
>>580050119>perhaps there is a stable average of competent active developers in the human population at any point in timeI would expect it to increase a little bit as it becomes easier to make games. Surely some potentially capable devs were limited by resources and tools they had access to.But it is pretty clear there's far more wannabe devs who will never make it. And there's a huge population of turdies who are trying to make money with it but they can't make anything good. Blame the youtube grifters and AI companies who marketed this idea of being a gamedev.
>>580050870>He's still successfulhe seems so unhappy with that
>>580050772Looks like a seething jealous dev, just look at his user name and the "not an immersive sim" comment he makes about Brushs game. This guy reeks of>i never bought the game nor care to play it but i will make a huge stink about it for attention

>>580052025Does release date actually matters outside of obvious stuff like don't release on Christmas or when GTA 6 comes out?
>>580052251Is this real-time or like you gotta record first and then process it over 5 hours or something?
>>580054471>when GTA 6 comes out?that's when you should release thoughever
>>580054471yes, you should always get your page running a month before steam next fest, advertise aggresively before, get some more wishlists during, and release a week or two after after you've had time for a bulk of fixes from the demo playthrough player reports

>Get paid millions on kickstarter to make a fighting game>Never finish it>Start another kickstarter and get paid millions again to create another game>Shit out some barebones tech demo that was made in a month max and doesnt look anything like the trailers>Get paid millions every year by Riot games to pretend to make a game for 10 years until Riot finally gets impatient and asks for the game they're paying you for or else you're getting fired>Shit out some flop with 9 characters at launch after 10 years of development that gets 3 players online and gets shutdown in less than a year>Retire with generational wealth off scamming with 0 good games madeWhy dont you do this, /adgd/?Seems kinda op.
>>580054779this is because you're scared of receiving constructive criticism on a game you personally designed to be as it explicitly is>i spent years making my game to fit my exact vision>negative reviews: this game sucks lol add gamblingnow you're in a predicament, you can either classify the reviewer (a human being) as retarded and ignore the review completely, damaging your capacity for empathy, effectively making yourself humanor you can follow the impulse of basic human compassion, respect the perspectives of the reviewers, take the complaints to heart, abandon the concept of making games you personally want to make, and let the whims of the critics carry you around like a paper bag, ultimately leading to burnoutyour brain recognizes these two outcomes, be evil and impose your will on the world, or become a doomed slave of compassion and let the crowd corrode your ambitions into dustyou don't want to become evil and ignore the lamentations of others, and you don't want to become a slave and guarantee a slow deathwhat do you do?i pick the evil route, i make the games i want to make, it's on you to adapt to them or go play something elseif you're low inhibition you won't even think about this, all you think about is making money, so you spam your game shamelessly, different life experiencethis is true and is the main bottleneck for indies, scared of the internal conundrum of criticism you do nothing and perish in obscuritygotta make a decisiontruth

Warning; A bit meandering. And then the item box at the end is a total bust... That's how it goes.https://files.catbox.moe/w7ubed.mp4Vehicles work, etc etc. Anyway - I have built a procedural dungeon generator that's pretty powerful. It takes brushes authored in the brush editor and applies them according to rules set in a JSON file. Moisture levels and everything. Item boxes. I turned off enemies just to run around in it a bit. Item boxes spawn, some rivers sprinkle around, the layouts can get absolutely bonkers. Gonna tone it down for this forest since it's meant to be a starter zone, but with this technology I have unlimited content to go along with my authored dungeons and overworld maps. The basic structure is that regions of the world are separated by places that have several legs to get through (floors of a mystery dungeon style level), if you run out of supply you start to starve and die. Affixed equipment is in. Can be quality, elemental, status effect, or both. Now that the major systems are ALL in, every last one of them, I can start on the content grind. It's going to go so crazy from here. It's been a fun month. It's going to get even better.

Feel like I was the only one who wanted $5000 lmao.Putting on my lazy /biz/ hat to find a solution that fits in valves lazy management style; they could have it so people place whatever entry fee they want (min $100 I guess) and valve only returns that when you make 10x your fee. And importantly players can filter games off their store page based off the entry price. Obviously entry price cant be changed after the fact. What could go wrong?

>>580066330Either wait for other people to be victims or just scan the file yourself. I guess sometimes malware can go undetected by normal scanners but you're probably fine. I do the same thing when I pirate stuff.>>580066375I think GOG still takes the standard 30% which I would love to avoid. I guess itch.io would be the closest thing but hardly anyone uses it and I like visiting people's websites.>>580066778I don't know, they have some desire for old websites/old Internet again so maybe decentralized gaming can come back too. True, not a huge fan of Google lately with how bad it is. Hard to think of a perfect solution.

>>580067030>machiavelliBased. Read The Prince ages ago, thought he was a libtard, later found out he actually is a libtard. Fun book though. Curious how you plan to apply it to gamedev though, unless you planning to overthrow gaben and restore the roman republic?But more gamedevs need to be inspired by things other than games, anime inspired by videogames, and videogames inspired by anime inspired by videogames. Its all too incestuous. You should give Plato's Republic a try next
>>580062252now him but that happened to me once like 5 years ago.I had hundreds of videos about getting adobe premiere pro and adobe photoshop free product keys and shit uploaded to my youtube page.

game design becomes a bit easier to understand when you view game participation merely as an expression of personal identity
>>580066139Every dev may need a PGP key or something for retards like >>580066330 to feel safe.
>>580067898Actually the prince is important because it allows to understand how to write a king.Many times games deal with the powerful and kings.Princess peach and Bowser are a political dispute of european history.So It helps to write things, even in things like mario.

>>580070098No, but those reviewers are complaining about poor balancing. Not saying every game needs great balancing but it sounds like endgame is broken or something.No idea though, I've never played Megabonk, just repeating the bad reviews.

Messing around testing astra 6, so i give it my character design and book design.It's pretty good, the music sucks i'll try to compose it myself later. There are lot of pixel misalignment ? for the book animation gonna fix that
>>580070437>Does it matter in heaven how hard we worked?Ecclesiastes 3:13 states that being able to eat, drink, and find satisfaction in one's hard work is a gift from Him.You're not going to gain more good boy points though unless your toiling is done in a way that improves things and does good. This can be done making a game such as using it as a vector to make people happy and see good in the world, but I'm just stating don't make porn games or something if you want good boy points.

>>580072331I am not seeing it desu. For one if I recall right machiavelli explicitly says things like treating the commoners well is how you avoid getting couped/assassinated. He wasnt a unrepentant selfish psycho, as much as he gets portrayed as one these days. Griffith is anything is a stirnerfag >>580073465>that you need to read for schoolWhere did you go to school I am actually jealous
>>580073103According to ai he was inspired by a ton of shit - Evil Dead, Hellraiser, MC Escher, Devilman, Violence Jack, Kenshiro in FotNS, Macbeth by Shakespeare, and of course your boy Kabballah. Berserk is a complex work.

>>580073837its the same skill disregarding the software learning aspect
>>580073243I'm trying to avoid adding melee weapons after the last one I added ended up being unfun and useless. The enemies are way too effective at close range and not keeping your distance is a death sentence.>>580074592That's not a skybox seam, it's part of the texture.

>>580075916
>>580075765add it to your game then
>>580075296digital art can be referred to as hand drawn no
>>580076067I suppose, I'm just asking why that would be a good game plan if your computer breaks? I get conceptualizing it in a notebook but doesn't make sense for actually creating assets.
>>580076005
>>580076215
>>580075296Some people like to draw -> scan -> finish in image editor
>>580076362I did that when I first started but its so much easier and saves a lot of time to just do it all digitally

I'm starting to think the best thing for my game would be to stop browsing AGDG. It sucks cause you guys were there for me when I started out but I'm getting the feeling you're also hindering me from reaching the end.
Almost every AI in every movie and game sounds so stilted and primitive compared to what we have now. When I was a kid I wanted to have the computer from the Enterprise available all the time. Talk about cursed monkey paw.That's a trap when making games set in the future. They're highly likely to feel very dated.
>>580079658Just use moderation and browse in a way that doesn't hinder you?
>>580078434I'm a professional overthinker and I like to overthink everything. End of November is bad because the whole internet will be talking about GTA6, even if people who don't play the game don't care about it, it won't stop the flood of fanart or memes or information about GTA6 drowning everything else, overall reducing any word of mouth traction my game could have.Moving on then to December, obviously I can't release 1 week before Winter Sale because people are saving their money up for the Winter Sale. But I can't *after* Winter Sale either, since people now have games they have to play, so January is out too.February would be a good choice, but there's Next Fest for half the month so you only get a small window. March would probably be the best choice.
>>580079658many such cases. I need to learn to visit the site at the end of my deving session or something rather than actively reading it desu
>>580079658Hating women makes you better at gamedev so you don't become a pedo troon making a gay zelda like

Troon
>>580079782in computer science true AI is a dead-end, can't be donewhat you call "AI" is actually deep learning, the machine is not thinking
>>580079782Personally I like retrofuturism so I have 0 problem with them being the way they are.
>>580080082Jannie tranniesOnly based and redpilled chads can make games. Wake up
>>580079658Go to the /bant/ thread. People actually discuss game devving there instead of ragebaiting all day
>>580079782I remember in school I wished I could have a way of knowing if girls I like liked me back so some machine in the lobby would tell us if we chose each other.Now it looks like I also have a way of making any kind of game I want.
>>580080415It's a nice thread but way too slow to enjoy it. Would be nice if all the aggy game devs would get off Discord, bant, etc. and just stay in one thread.
>>580079782Frank Herbert won by cheating and removing any scifi tech that wasn't absolutely necessary to the story lol. That said, it doesnt matter, robots weren't awkward and stilted in sci-fi because it was an attempt at an accurate prediction, its cause its fun, and also its a cheap way to distinguish their characters from the other ones.
>>580080415lol fuck off retard
>>580080258This doesn't matter at all. I don't know if (You) are thinking either, I can't tell and you can't prove it. The result is something that's indistinguishable from intelligence.>>580080285>LCARS the peak of UI design

you can easily tell he's behind those posts because he behaves like the most steretypical shartie ever imagined

Why do people still call each other, shouldn't that have died along with the fax machine. Or was it replaced with video calls which is worse. It can't get any better. Maybe VR avatars was supposed to be it, but that didn't work so maybe AR avatars will replace it. Might want to develop AR games to get ahead of the curve, it's just VR with pass through more or less.

amazing how troons are the only ones who don't hate women and still think putting tranime girls in games is a good idea...I'm reconsidering adding foids into my game...but melee zelda is actually effeminate and has slender arms and shoulders unlike modern foids with tattoo sleeves. maybe I just won't make it gay and pedophilic?

>>580069062unreal 3 had such a nice rendererpbr ruined everything
>>580054528Idk to be honest though I am curious to see. Would be funny to use it, make an eye catching female and then have my game be a success just cause of that.
>>580084796go to settings > renderer > preset > unreal 3you're welcome
>>580084718>pretend to be womenthey don't hate foids enough to be hermit gigachads in the mountains. face it, foids treat men like they're beneath them now, can't even run any errands without some uppity foid getting snippy and massacring their kids or raping elementary school students. foids are out of controid. we need to stop their rights, troons don't want this. that's why they keep spamming about troon rights
>>580084887you mean in ue4/5? because that would mean I would have to use that trash tier engines which is a big fuck no
>>580081478It's 2026 and if people develop their game in an engine or framework that doesn't allow easy web exports I don't know what the fuck they are thinking. Do you want your demo to get played or not?

So.. doing the image texturing thing>attempt to find textures you think fit for your model>test them on model, applying quick and dirty in engine>once everything is verified, trim, modify, scale, paintI think this is the smart approach.

How did you figure out what game you wanted to make and stick with it? I've been trying for literally more than 5 years to figure out what I want to do but I keep abandoning ideas because I feel they aren't good enough. I am confident I have the skill to do it because I've work as a game developer in the industry for three years now at a decent company. But I just can't seem to find "the right thing" i feel a calling to
giving gamers what they want is too hard...

>>580088525Make your own if you can do better.
>>580088558>What do you listen while devvin'?nothing
>>580068383The funny thing is the dev could just buy $100 Claude sub and throw the existing good game at it and tell it to make 10x the content and AI would pump out something good. Kind of like the last-last-last update in Terraria that dropped just now with all the weapons and shit, this is 100% AI generated. If you have a good game that's replayable that already has a good codebase and a lot of manually authored content it would be so trivial to just shit out a lot of new content with AI. People with good titles are literally leaving so much money on the table.
>>580088723I am which is what prompted me to say that
>>580087717I can't even give me what I want how could I possibly be able to give players what I want....
>>580088635You mean art-first games should have very little content?
>>580088558https://youtu.be/i1tKUKSL618
>>580089027you could also call them social media spectacle games, they aren't meant to be played in the first place
>>580085195It can work. let me guess this one is by that attractive female that puts 0 effort to get simps ie just sits there and expects them to flock to her for simply being good looking? You know the one that works with a studio and wears a lot of makeup, if I remember right her skin is olive tone.>time to lookGot the wrong girl. But wew this one is ugly. If you used someone like the one I was thinking about she just needed to drop the stuck up attitude and use the right words. Im sure I could pull it off, make the right woman design, say the rights words, and just like that flies to honey....fake honey hehehe. You have to do the shtick right though. An ugly woman can win, see Lente. Ugly, looks like she smells, and waves around lgbt stuff. Though it seems she targeted the twitter crowd. Makes me wonder how well her game would sell without that crowd boosting her and her games visibility.

>>580088057I'm in the top 10 games and I got less than 20 downloads total over the three days. Also it seems like there is way less people commenting on games than before, less streamers too. When I first submitted to a demo day years ago, I got around 8 comments despite being low on the list. Nowadays most games have only 1 or 2 comments if any. This place is really a shadow of what it used to be. And the quality of demo day games seems to have dropped too. Even /agdg/ demo day has been enshittified
What are /agdg/'s thought on the discourse surrounding Scarlet Skips?
>>580089283I think gamedev is dying
bros, the art of war of tsun tzu is a tutorial on how to design enemy AI, wtf.
>>580089283>What are /agdg/'s thought on the discourse surrounding Scarlet Skips?
>>580089283
>>580089283my feed is just filled by posts like thesealso they are apparently trying to cancel the dev because he follows shadman lol
>>580089356Dare I ask how so?
>>580089223You can pinpoint the downfall of this general to the exact time Betz arrived. I directly blame him for current status of agdg
>>580088626What game is this pic from?>>580089223>And the quality of demo day games seems to have dropped tooYeah.>downloaded like 4 games or so>played 1 (forgot to post the review on here)
>>580089583Notice how people are getting more emboldened to call this shit out. Woke is dying.
>>580089283I never doubted that a porn game could sell. I don't really have an issue with it. Great animations, simple game, people bought it. Gives me hope for my game, so long as I put in effort obviously. Gamers will buy anything.
>>580089283I don't visit those places so idk
>>580089283I watched it, it was entertaining. Wish I could 3D model like that.>>580089583Seems like the dev is going to get more success because this feels like a repeat of what happened to Soulash 2's dev. Seems like the side that tries to cancel devs lately is getting pushback from gamers who will pay just to boost the positive rating as a "no you won't cancel this game so I'm going to buy it to show my support!"
>>580089583Send a pizza, Twitterfags need to get off their site and do something that works.
>>580090089>how dare this dev have breasts in his game >SEND HIM A PIZZA RIGHT FUCKING NOW
>>580089583>that picNo amount of people screaming will make me change my women designs to left. Then again it's pretty hard to csncel a dev they can't even reach and can simply ban them from the steam discussion board for violating the rules "no flame wars" kek simple and straightforward and arbitrary enforcement of the rules of course. What are they gonna do cry on redd*t? It's weird how they despite the design on the right despite it technically being as accurate to irl women as left can be.
>>580089594It teaches shit like FOG of war and strategies of battle formations.
>>580089283The real scary thing about it is not the porn appeal itself but the fact that the girl is obviously low-functioning autistic (you can tell from the exaggerated, cartoon-like movements and gestures) and men think there is no issue with wanting to take advantage of her.
>>580090671You're thinking into it too much, it's meant to be silly.Low functioning autist don't make facial expressions, they just blank stare constantly with food crumbs on their face.
>>580089749Helen of Troy is black and earned $1.6 billion dollars. What culture warriors need to understand is there are audiences all across the spectrum and that there's no point trying to appeal to everyone.
>>580091169that's adorable anon
am starting to get good at gamedev (i use claude)
>>580091062>blank stare constantly with food crumbs on their face
>>580090671There's nothing wrong as long as they consent. Autistic women were built for love and sex.
>>580091169>Helen of Troy is black and earned $1.6 billion dollars
>>580088525his game needs more content, feels barebones desu>>580089283the dev made a lot of money off it regardless if some nodevs on twitter hate it>>580090671>take advantageoh because she is attractive and not a bothersome chore to keep around as wife? Ooof a lot of women sure are malicious crab to one another.>>580091428the implications of this post....kek
>median>averagedoes that mean that most people just play a bit but a few autists play a lot?
>>580089223Less than 20 downloads? That's rather low, is it browser playable or something to excuse the low downloads? What's the view count?>>580091169>go to alternate reality>helen of troy movie features a creamy white skin brunette with large breasts>makes 1.3 trillion dollarsHuh
>>580092174>likes my game>must be an autist
>>580092383it's AI slop demo of a game that I shadowdropped on steam without mentioning it anywhere at all to test Steam Lobby code, I'm pretty sure you've got to have a certain degree of autism to randomly find it, install it, and actually enjoy it
>>580092174im confused with the numbers below, 59%, 42%, 20% and 12%that aint 100%
>>580092174Yes. 3 people played my demo 10 minute demo for 3 hours, they'd better buy the full game... Freeloaders...
>>580092648it's MINIMUM time played, someone who played 2 hours also has played 1 hour, 30 minutes and 10 minutes
>>580092306No need for alternate reality. The 2004 film Troy that had a German blond Helen earned barely 2.5x its budget while the one with the sub-Saharan Helen and tranny soldier earned 5x its budget.
>>580092174your sample size is too small so the average gets skewed by the couple people who played a lotalso losing 40% of your players before 10 minutes is a bad sign though again small sample size
no streams today?
>>580064752There's still characters of mine I don't find attractive/cute/cool, given they're supposed to be different in their own ways.I just felt like doing some Nortubel related porn to maybe take advantage of tag systems and also doing some stuff for a hidden gallery in Hirdrih.
>>580093554none of this is attractive, it all looks like shityou NEED to try to improve your art somehow, look at more references of the style that you're trying to achieve and compare it with your workit pisses me off how much effort you're putting into quantity but quality does not go up with it
woke niggas down so bad they have to dig some jewish shit out of the hollywood dumpster to simp for
>>580092174what are your demo stats bois
>>580093554what a fucking waste
>>580023106How's it looking bros?
>>580089283where's the gameplay?
>>580094853
>>580094746that 3rd person cam makes it look like the game would be much better if that was the perspective all the time
>>580094894it's a newgrounds game. It doesn't belong on steam. There's no reason why steam should be the everything store when browser games have their own places. And this is exactly everything that's wrong with steam because 90% of games released on it don't even belong there just from a customer point of view
>>580095039maybe for a sequel, this was the compromise i came to tell the story I want to tell at large scale (its a movie game). Its gonna be enough bullshit in just two dimensions
>>580095359I prefer an everything goes store where some goonslop gets normie adoration a few times a year than a dictatorship where (((you))) decide my game doesn't belong on steam because I'm too amateur for your tastes
>>580095359if the consumer didn't want it it wouldn't sell
>>580094746looking too cluttered IMOI'd suggest you start simplifying textures and work more on lightingthen again I like stuff like this so maybe it's a peculiar tastehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utrxk5_PeEY&t=181
>>580095359>don't even belong there just from a customer point of viewthe game sold 35k, there's clearly customers
>>580095791indie niggas tellin other indie niggas to cut they hair
>>580095359You are just old. There are two, soon to be THREE new generations of gamers looking for that newgrounds experience.
>>580095791I agree with you on the too cluttered, i think once I start actual levels Im gonna work distancing dense clumps here and there with bits of more openness in-between. Im working on a few different "biomes" so im just kinda throwing everything for each biome into these little test stages
>>580058352>>580066547>>580081539>>580085925eight hourseight hours and only four fucking posts even resembling progress, and only two (2) with gameplayis that real? is that where we're at?
>>580063743>Secondhand LandsIt was shut down in 2021, but there's still an audience for it. The dev didn't want to rewrite it in Unreal or something, but also maybe the humor wasn't aging well?https://youtu.be/EYS_WeUKlhY
>>580095982>>580096315I tend to like visually simplified designs. it's not to everyone's taste but I think it's much easier to highlight what you want to highlight when you keep the textures and colors in reservehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmJDo-XVwvg&t=247
>>580096582No reason to show your game if a jeet with AI can steal it. Especially prototypes that aren't near ready.
>>580096773jeets cannot afford AI

must feel awesome to have a consistent identity. rather than "i need to get this done before i lose interest" it all becomes "enough for today, i know for the next 3000 days i'll come back to it daily.

>>580096832Your invite to /pgdg/ is in the mail.
>>580096773this is such insane copeyou show your game and some deficient prick tries to steal it and fails? nothing happensyou show your game and some deficient prick tries to copy it and succeeds? congratulations you now have free marketing controversy to post on xnobody here has a fucking gamethat's the truth
>>580096740such a brave opinion in 2026
>>580087634>How did you figure out what game you wanted to make and stick with it?I came up with a game idea and told myself "this time I'll finish this one for sure, no matter what". Then I dropped it anyway.I repeat this 3 times.Now I have to finish my current game because I ran out of money and don't have much choice, even if it doesn't sell I'm hoping to at least get enough money to keep me afloat while I find a real job.

>>580097008>copy it and succeeds? congratulations you now have free marketing controversy to post on xThat does not mean I would get more sales than the copycat. Big post on X doesn't get you sales. You think that needle in a haystack guy is gonna get sales when his garbage finally comes out? Probably not. We all know his idea was stolen though.It's totally normal to not show an incomplete game. Not even due to stealing but also because I don't need feedback on something that isn't even implemented correctly yet. I'll worry about posting my game when it's in a state where I want feedback.
>>580023106You just know this was rendered on Blender.Why the fuck are images so dark in blender?
agdg fags need to look at something beyond anime or western art for inspiration of simpler styles to use.
i haven't coded in month, yet mmorpg reverse engineering made me code again all day.now i wonder if "love" is a good motivation. this shit wont make me a single penny, but i love that mmorpg. i feel like it has value and i'd love to keep that game alive, even if it's just on my pc and i can play it myself with some improvements.not really sure if i "love" that game, but it's definitely more love than i feel for other games.glad my finances are also fine right now, so i don't need to make it financially viable. i have no ulterior motives with it.maybe working a normal job to fund your love is a noble approach. rather than exploiting your love, you feed it.
>>580097952no one would buy a game with that art style, cris
>>580097971Love can get you to work for a day or two, but it's not sustainable. It requires thousands of hours of consistent work to ship a commercial video game. You need discipline and systems that force you to work, even when you don't want to.
>>580098201you clearly didnt finish reading my post. i have a job and have money.
>>580097952you're not the only one who watches random youtube videos cris.
>>580098197baba is you.
>>580097971Love is the best motivation you could ever ask, assuming it's actual love and not just "motivation" that will disappear as soon as the first roadblock appears.
>>580098254Doesn't matter. Nothing you make will see the light of day.
>>580097952Can any Cris experts weighh in on how much longer he will be in this mood before shifting to the next step in the cycle?
>>580097838fuckign deranged copethis is a thread for posting your prototypes and progress and talking shop with fellow devs also doing the same thing and it becomes a self sustaining feedback loopyou do not have a fucking game and you will not finish one
>>580098362yeah, as i said maybe love is when you fund your project and not wanting your project to fund you.>>580098420lol ok doomer
>>580098504Is that your cope? Whining that someone has no game?smugpepe.jpg
>people post progress>no replies >people post stupid schizophrenic bullshit or crispost>300 repliesYeah I think I'm pulling out of AGDG for another few years, what a nightmare
not an airportyou can just leave without having to announce it
>>580098981sorry this is a social media platform, not an advertisement posting website. buy an ad if you want feedback.
>>580098981it's your fault this happened
>>580098981Yeah this place went downhill like three years ago, it's just the same four or five guys posting cope about their new game surely being the one, over and over
>>580098981>doesn't post progress>complainsYou were welcome to leave without the attention whoring and whining.
>>580098421Cris got so insane this year that his mental loops are now twisted.
>>580099361I think hes menopausal
Some people need to realize that sometimes their progress is just boring, has nothing feedback-worthy, or that the dev just never listens to anyone.so people quit trying.
Progress posters are a bunch of attention seekers. If you really love gamedev you dev just for the sake of it, not for (You)s.
>>580099612they need to realize this is a gamedev pub and not a gamedev workshop. i guess their problem is that they don't have team mates to talk to and we are their pseudo-team.
>>580099286>this place went downhill like three years ago
>>580099286And if you post about how bad it is you just get called a crab in a bucket
Wasted another day doing nothing of value again awardDidnt even shower the last couple days.

why are you here?
>>580099995That's is what I would say if I didn't had a game

I want to focus but my brain wont let me, sucks to be dumb I guess.
>>580101065The new thread isn't up yet.
>>580101442quick, someone remind the gamejam spammer
>>580099286>posting cope about their new game surely being the one, over and overTrust me, this is the one!
>>580098981>*look inside*>it's people posting data backed facts about how the odds of success are worseningAhh I see you're one of those hobby devs.
>>580098981It will only get worse with time.The only thing you can do is ignore doomposting and only interact with the other real devs while maintaining a superiority attitude for actually making game in a sea of nodevs
>>580102617>thinks making a game is an achievement when 200 new games are released every day
>>580023106added tree cutting minigame into my game :)
the thread is shit because of retards still thinking "having a game" makes you some special snowflake
>>580102785dumb nodev
>>580102734>200 new games are released every dayand none of those are yours
>>580102779This could be fun the first and maybe the second time, but it can only be tedious after the third. Give me automation.
>>580102734and the trillionaire gets $100 for each one :)remind yourselves who really wins here
>>580102978yep I agree, and you do it for a bit, but later you hire people to do it instead
gabe has made more money from games that will never come out than all of agdg's games combined
>>580102779peregrino did that too
>>580102779survivalcraft zomboid?

>>580102785>hurr this thread about a game is shit because retards think you have to play the game to postWhy are you even here? Is this a hugbox where you whine about how fat and unwashed and unmotivated you are? No, fuck off. >>>/trash/
>>580103804it's ok anon, resource gathering mini game has been done a million times before that other guy did it too
>>580103804Engine / framework?
>>580103915Godot
>>580102779that UI looks vibecoded. nice but vibecoded (too slick and full featured for a game early in development)
>>580094746Very interesting perspective and really nice art. I think if the game were fully 3rd person, it'd look more generic and you'd loose more from that than you'd gain from it becoming more cinematic.
>>580103573or the look like thisjust from a 30 second browse of new releases: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4729250/Airline_Founder/https://store.steampowered.com/app/5078600/Load_Factor/https://store.steampowered.com/app/5007580/Path_of_the_idle_cultivator/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4983860/Wayfarer_Protocol/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4327140/Cells/also what the fuck there is so much DLC clogging up new releases. GABE YOU FRICK
>>580104210>looseI think he needs to tighten up the graphics on level 3
>>580096582My current progress is too weird to post
>>580104110It is, but almost all of it is just dev/world editor stuff, and the other elements are placeholders, will require redesign for sure
>>580104323
>>580103804>their system even makes more sensesteal it. no one knows about that game
>>580103838hahaha, the funny part is how mad it makes you nigga its s shitpost thread not a job application lighten up
>>580104568devs seem to have abandoned it. steamies have raised pitchforks.
>>580104276Literally everything is entirely a "UI spreadsheet game" besides maybe Wayfarer Protocol. But that one still looks unfun.Competition isn't as fierce as anons imagine, unless your goal is to make a game entirely of UI then you got some really stiff competition.
>>580104546no, it means he's coping and seething
>>580102785I does tho
>>580104546looks better than the one from Game About Digging A Hole which means it looks good enough
>>580103838I always feel like it's nodevs and cargo cultists who are more interested in progress posts than active yesdevs who are seriously trying to make it. You don't see real studios frequently progress posting on social media. Ever wonder why?
>>580104850retard
>>580104276I'm sure you could have picked better examples
>>580104850You also don't see real studios posting in weird little hugbox threads about what smelly unmotivated sad devs they are.
>>580104850I've long felt this way. Its so unnatural whining about lack of "progress posts" and you don't see that behavior anywhere else on the internet.
>>580105045You sure about that?
>>580105103Sometimes I see big progress posts in the form of devlogs, but the projects are usually abandoned. It's typically not coming from people in the professional industry either, just hobby devs. Only on aggy do I see it demanded though even though it's not known to get you sales or even help you that much, it's just a thing to get attention for a second maybe.
