I'll do it. I'll make a game. You'll see.
>>580705357I will be back in 2036 to ask you how it's going.

>>580705669WoW fundamentally shifted the MMORPG audience. There's still a lot of gamers who like grinding and I think grinding could be spiced up in various ways. Really one of the biggest problems grinding games have is that they lack the freedom that Ragnarok and Lineage 2 had. So many of old Korean MMORPGs were designed in a very linear way with mob spawns which in essence turns it into a railroaded experience. Not to mention how soulless the world feels when it's just a map with mob groups that progressively get higher level as you go further from the entrance. RO and L2 both had worlds that felt like fantasy worlds. You were an adventurer. In most MMORPGs it feels like you are a levelupper or some temp worker solving everyone's little problems.

>>580706014how much does codex cost
Blogpost, filter with "days left until I run out of money" and you won't be seeing this again. There's really nothing to gain by reading this, even if I feel better writing it.Luxuriating in fruit with coffee after breakfast, pure decadence.Yesterday I finished my work at around 8pm, but instead of enjoying a free Friday evening I worked some more and paid off 100 minutes of my work debt. I'm going to try the same feat today: I'll start work around 11am this time and try to finish my 5 hours of work by 6pm and post back at that time. Then I'm going to work off another 100 minutes. I have so little time left until I run out of money and I don't know how to extend it, but at least I could do those 40+ hours that I "owe". That's 8 days equivalent, I could address some of the worst content gaps in that time.48 days left until I run out of money. I now owe 2500 minutes of work. Today I'm going to (again) be trying to improve explosions. I know it's a small detail and my game isn't really about combat and explosions but I just can't leave them alone.
>>580706360$20 a month
>>580706360Claude code is better and has some degree of not stealing your shit
>>580706436t. ranny
>>580706436ask claude if it knows any agdg devs
>>580706403i suggest dopamine fasting, the boredom will make you more interested in your work, you will get more done
>>580706403haha it looks like a face
>>580706138It's crazy to me that server hosting and asset making is cheaper than ever and absolutely no one is trying to make new MMOs. Early 2000's had a boom of all kinds of MMOs with crazy stupid mechanics, some worked, some didn't, but at least people were trying something different, and often times some weird mechanics combined with some bugs/glitches lead to some very fun experiences you couldn't get anywhere else. Nowadays you either get some billion dollar WoW clone that flops, some billion dollar scam that never comes out, or some shitty indie 2D SHMUP thingy (realm of the mad god clone). I google "top 10 MMOs to play" and half the list is games from 20 years ago, this section of the industry stagnated so fucking hard. Literally all you have to do is take the formula from some popular MMO before WoW was released, slightly improve it and cover some issues players had at the time, then release it and you'd have a hit on your hands, kinda like what Stardew Valley did to Harvest Moon.
>>580706501do it yourself lazy fucking retard
>>580706601i cant because it would spoil the test
>>580706281then came?
>>580706591the friendslop trend will lead to this, devs will realize how much easier it is to make an mmo now and think "what if we make a friendslop-like mmo lol", then use the same viral marketing strategies you see for regular friendslop

i thought of a interesting spin on horror games that hasnt been done before... its real kojima type shit. keep an eye out for my Japanese horror game. think its retarded to start so close to halloween? dont ask questions be icarus
>>580706591I want to go back... Before I would just host MMOs from my dev PC now I need to pay twice as much for internet just to get out of CGNAT
>>580707003you'll need to finish it before october 7 to safely have it available on steam for october 31
>>580706403Damn it. If you’re under 35, pinky promise you’re not wildly mentally ill, and willing to help out once a week with fixing up an old house, you can stay with me for free.
I am in the HONEYMOON PHASE with ASTRA 6 HIGH EFFORT. I will learn to HATE IT and I will SCREAM AT IT in a MONTH when it can't ADJUST A COLOR because it didn't know to REDUCE THE BRIGHTNESS to ACHIEVE IT. But it's real good I love it. Still never done a gay "one shot" thing.
>>580706591Would you play an mmo that was basically a half-breed between DOS2 and DAO but realtime with the character switching mechanism and third person of Genshin?
>>580706548What dopamine do you imagine I'm gorging on currently? All I do is work and worry and train and eat bland food.>>580706550With big yellow lips, yeah. It's better than banana taped to a wall, maybe I can be an artist.>>580707105Don't fall for it. >>580603648
>>580707105you really think the nigga who posts fuckin bananas and coffee on fuckin a game development board for like 2-3 straight years years is sane?
>>580705248I know Hirdrih is a mess like Nortubel, but I just wanna get done with it soon enough, because I have ideas on how my third game could be better.>Gameplay will not have a puzzle specific gimmick like companions or the arrow>instead I want to focus more on movement and combat>Visuals should be done in a way that doesn't feel like there was a fight against how Godot handles resolutions>Bonka will be the playable character>Mostly an excuse to "reintroduce" the characters, that I had better ideas for a wiki implementation and reintroducing levels>Controller support>Help from others on art, code and specially music, so I need a budge at that point>Support for a third language besides EN and PTAnd the fourth game will build from the third, because it'd be focused on Bonka's main story.
>>580707324shit i was laughing so hard my post done stroked out
>>580707296using social media is enough dopamine to harm productivity, in true desperation full asceticdevving is the only optionnot even youtube on the side or music in the background100% devving and biological survival tasks only
>>580707348gay faggot shit the post
>>580707324Oh damn he’s been doing this for years? I thought this was some recent crisis nvm
>>580707498I already do something like that half an hour before work. Just quiet time and empty brain before I get to it. Not today or yesterday because I'm starting work on time (in 5 minutes) but usually. I'll try it, I have little to lose
>>580707218Maybe? Combat in a MMO is secondary in my opinion, it needs to be "serviceable" but it does not need to be any better than what there is already on the market, that's not where improvements should be made. There's other stuff I think MMOs need, a degree of player freedom, systems that encourage cooperation and interaction between players, downtime that allow players to make small talk and actually treat the MMO as a 3rd space, distance in the world to actually matter (you "travel" between cities, you don't just join discord channels on a click), and some other stuff I won't start rambling about now.
>>580708330>Combat in a MMO is secondary in my opinionthis is just pure factthe objective most fun class in wow was the unholy death knight since it had the fastest global cooldowns and everyone cried so hard it got removed
I could never get into any MMOs. I loved (LOVED!) both Knights of the Old Republic and Morrowind and Oblivion and Skyrim but I couldn't get into The Old Republic or Elder Scrolls Online. Same with Warcraft vs World of Warcraft. Other people shouldn't be in games. I hope AI will supplant multiplayer
>>580708627i fucking hated kotor and i thought tor was much better but still shit boom booms really love to suck off kotor because g4 told them too early mmos were pure magic and if you didnt hit it during the time you missed out ai can never be the real thing it would basically just be a dot .hack sign game
is there a way to squash a capsule collider in unity? i need a colider with rounded edges so no box collider, but the capsule is to thick on one axis, i need it like 1/3rd thickness on that axisi feel like it's impossible but i thought i'd ask
>>580707348which one is this?

>>580709381B-b-b-BASEDDab on those ludsRemember (you) all voted for this
>>580706591From a developer point of view the focus has split into gacha and open world survival games. Those games largely filled the void left behind by MMORPGs. Gacha caters to the retards who got fooled into playing WoW with marketing and open world survival sandbox games cater to the grinder, adventurer and in some cases the pvp griefer audiences. The MMORPG is largely a genre that worked because of early internet and limited datamining. Nowadays a new game releases and everything is known about it within days. Then the metafaggots ruin everything. Indeed there's a total lack of experimentation in the genre. Everything that gets made is just modern WoW derivative with maybe some attempt to change the combat.>Literally all you have to do is take the formula from some popular MMO before WoW was released, slightly improve it and cover some issues players had at the time, then release it and you'd have a hit on your handsBut it won't make WoW money so it won't get funded.>>580707218>but realtime with the character switching mechanism and third person of GenshinActually genuinely kill yourself.
>>580709748>>580709952>>580709719>>580709679>>580709639your game?
>>580710123What about it?
>>580709032You can only control the radius and the height. If those don't work for you then you need a different type of collider.
>>580710175you have none
>>580705248Archtower week progress- Working on new Floor 16 (out of 17)- Made some new enemies
>>580709097>which one is this?Are you referring to a red bull character of mine?
>>580710325you have a nice game, everyone else here is trash
>>580710325
>>580710320Why would I be posting in a gamedev thread if I didn't have a game?
>>580710120>Actually genuinely kill yourself.I hate gacha too but that mechanism is actually fun and neat, idgaf.
>>580709381this looks better than branno's game, sloppy but still better
>>580710457It might work as a mechanic for some games but it doesn't make sense in most. In gacha games it's there because it's to sell gacha. Better have the players play multiple characters at once so they buy more gacha.It is an absolutely retarded concept for an MMORPG.
>>580710437>Why would I be posting in a gamedev thread if I didn't have a game?
>>580710579Oh yeah sorry I didn’t really care about the MMO part of the question and was just using it as an excuse to describe the crpg I’m making
>>580710404yeah the stronk red one with abs that you posted somewhere I don't remember
I want to play classic+ but need to fix Momgol buggs. :'(
Playing MOBAs or MMOs as a game developer is a sign of acute NGMI.
>>580711391playing MOBAs is a sign of NGMI in general, in life
>>580711391Then why do so many successful devs do it? Are they just flexing that they can do it and still make it?
>>580710701>crpg>where you swap characters like GenshinDisgusting.
>>580711496The only guy on record who does it is Eric and that's because he had a gf provide for him. Edmun doesn't, Jon Blow doesn't, Toby doesn't, Hopoo didn't, who the hell are you thinking about when saying "so many successful devs"?
>>580711391>TERA suddenly had an unprecedented 5k+ online private server>FFXI has a new classic private server launching later this month>Monsters & Memories is going into early access>rumors of WoW2/Classic+ going crazyI have a problem..
>>580711391Yer right, fxk it, goinf to play ff instead. Old ones and resonance when it comes out.

>>580712043>using Gabe as an example Nigga, he stopped making games after Half Life 2, he said so himself. He doesn't like being too involved in the project because he doesn't get to enjoy the game as much afterwards, he claimed to like Portal a lot more than HL for that reason. And he sure as hell didn't play MOBAs and MMOs during the days of Half Life.
AAAA I HAVE NO IDEA WORTH ITDo I just start making gameplay?? Just have fun??
>>580712545just bee urself
>>580709032Yes, there is a way to squash a capsule collider in three.js. Never heard of this unity garbage though.
is having a bad game better than having no game
>>580712545>>580712593NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT
>>580712043Wow, what indie games did those solo developers make?
>>580712635ye
>>580712635No, consider suicide.
>>580712635obviously
>>580712705
>>580712705settle down nodev betz
>>580710404nvm sorry it must have been this one
Today it occurred to me that if I think my opinion is worth anything, I should stop giving it out for free.
>make shit game>be upset that you're not a trillionaire
>>580713090
>>580713079>whoop whoop>tire spins>yo cracker gibs me dat
>>580713090>doesn't know that you can make a top 10% game and not earn even minimum wage
>>580705248Spent a long time thinking about my game concepts. honestly still really want to make it, but as time goes on and i get older and jews move the world closer to total goyim death I think I'm never going to make it in time. But you know, the thing that bothers me most is that there are people out there that could use my help or could be inspired by even my failures like I have been just browsing ngmi game devs and successful ones. All thats over because some jeets and jews decided I MUST dox myself to post online anywhere but here, and I'm sure within a few years event this place is going to be closed downHow do you young people do it? do you just have no sense of self? when someone says "please wrap this noose made of razor blades around your throat im holding the other end of in order to post" do you just say "yes sir schlomo right away!" ? do you just steel some good goys phone and use that? what is even the play if you aren't a low trust scam artist? it feels like it would be trivial to pay someone bitcoin or something to sign up for an email and sign up in succession for various necissary social media things, but the thought of doing that fills me with disgust
>>580713090>>580713197when my games flops I'm just gonna take it on the chin and move onto the next gameI absolutely detest these "abloo bloo bloo my gamey wamey didn't selly welly" postsDo the gamers support indie devs who whine and complain?
MY game won't flop because I added anti flop protection in the code.
>>580713305didnt read. just like make game

Bro.I had a really weird dream.It was like I was in the true reality, and you couldn’t feel anything. There was no suffering or happiness; it was more like being in a state of ataraxia.Then time would pass, and eventually boredom would start to build up. So, in the end, one person would be chosen in a lottery to incarnate into the shadow world—this reality.And here, we would incarnate, and we would suffer, but we would also be able to feel all the other emotions.The suffering was like an energy, kind of like adrenaline, that could be extracted and used as fuel to power the real world.In the end, this entire ghost reality was just a simulation.
>>580713559How would I allow comments without being immediately inundated with FBIfags posting cheeze pizza and jeets posting fishing links? well, the latter is a no brainer, if i had a website, i'd range ban india immediately.>>580713595seems like someone did at least...>>580713721>new

>>580713775>How would I allow comments without being immediately inundated with FBIfags posting cheeze pizza and jeets posting fishing links?If you don't want to deal with that at all you could delegate the comment service to a third party. There are services specialized in providing comment functionality to websites.

this AI chad is mogging you all, his itch page has already brang in thousands of USDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNJyKjfB8fY
>>580714461Actually he stopped working on games after making Portal 2. Just don't make Portal 2 and you will be fine.
>>580714013sigh, i guess i could just do an absolute white list where I approve comments manually. I'm sure that would break eventually but it would probably work for the level of popularity I actually have. i dont really want a service, all of those work by linking to some glowing account slop that makes me want to vomit. Japan really is sheep. they always dive headfirst into the truck headed for the slaughter whenever a company gets to be shit, I hear theyre all over bluesky even now. twitter is completely closed to me because I wont fork over my ID or opinions. making a misskey blog or something isnt unthinkable but it just feels like too little too late.
>>580656550thanks, I'll propose this at the next house meetingto be honest it's not really measured in "games failed" it's really just measured in if you can pay or not.
>>580714913
>>580714913My plan for my own website/devblog is to have a widget showing replies to specific posts in the fediverse so for each devlog post a fediverse post with the link to the article gets made and people can reply to it with their fediverse accounts and it will get shown even to people who don't use the fediverse as comments in the devlog entry page.
>>580715482why would you do that? just host a fediverse instance
my plan is to have AI takeover at some point, also onboarding is obsolete now in the age of AI
How do I make game if I'm retarded?
>>580716120So I don't have to moderate user generated content? Isn't that what we're talking about?
>>580713324What’s crazy is if you just dump like, $1k into ads that don’t even have to be good, you’ll get SOME sales as long as the game isn’t actual broken worthless trash.So either they can’t afford $1k in ads or their game is absolutely shit.Skill issue either way.
>>580706591This poster >>580710120 really summed up my thoughts better than any other post I've seen online. Open, adventure-ish MMOs were faded to die the moment microtransactions took off and rendered a subscription model commercially unviable. The genre identifier itself went through a weird fusion to survive, in which it morphed with dailies skinner box games, now just being used to describe high-budget 3D versions of that, where you do single player habit-forming busywork with some multiplayer PvP/PvE instanced content to push you to keep up with the joneses and spend money through peer pressure. On the other hand, open world survival/craft games with privately instanced servers now 100% fill the exact same niche something like RO used to. They have the double advantage of not being corrupted by 1. the unavoidable metagaming and RMT inherent to peer competition on public servers, and 2. the overwhelming monetary incentive structure to funnel players to a cash shop. A modern survival-crafting game with a RO-like map/artstyle/systems is a billion-dollar idea actually.
>>580716564I don't think the point is to sell no matter what but that it earns you more money per user than it cost to acquire that user. If you can achieve that, then you've got a money printing machine.
>>580716564Do ads actually work? I have blocked all ads my entire life so I'm completely out of touch with how normoids would engage with them. One gets a sense they are a zombie money velocity machine for the dead internet to give money to itself.
>>580716524just make a retarded game :)
>>580712186never because nobody plays full loot mmos
>>580717369it depends entirely on the market and the target audience. you can do some crazy targeting with ads though, and they can be very expensive.t. worked in an agency that did all kinds of marketing> how normoids would engage with themnormalfags literallly click on facebook scam ads, they're THAT stupid. however you're partially right about the zombie money mmachine

>>580717596That could work! Thanks.
>>580717369YouTube sponsorships aren’t blockable. Out of home ads aren’t blockable. You see plenty of ads.>>580717003Yes, but they aren’t even willing to put in the initial money to see what their cost per acquisition. They insist on it being zero. Which is insane. The average funded game spends as much on advertisement as on development.
>>580718659>YouTube sponsorships aren’t blockableohnonono bros don't tell him>Out of home ads aren’t blockable>out of homeanon...
>>580713305>How do you young people do it? do you just have no sense of self?I'm old but I imagine they just don't know any better since they grew up in this smartphonified dystopia they have been brainwashed by it before they would write or read and most of them have been holding a touch screen device for almost their entire brain development cycle it is at a point where we are talking about a different type of human compared to the people who had reached their teens or older before smartphones took over
>>580718659>YouTube sponsorships aren’t blockable.but they are
>>580716810>A modern survival-crafting game with a RO-like map/artstyle/systems is a billion-dollar idea actually.Overall there's a severe lack of variety in the systems in these open world survival crafting games. In every single one I can think of your held items define what you do and what you can do. The crafting and gathering works pretty much the same. They are really lacking in RPG elements and gameplay variety. So many games in the genre are the same game reskinned. Valheim wasn't the first but that's the archetype basically. Yet they keep selling really well whenever someone makes one that has decent enough graphics and functionality. There's a real opportunity to make something different that appeals to the same audience.

So... Game devs just make a game, do a few tweets, and launch dry on Steam... Only to complain that they get no visibility? Why do they rarely seem to plan and invest in marketing and keep counting on magical algorithms from the providers?
>>580724027>b-but their games are so h-hecking g-good that they should magically sell because good games sell!this is the mindset of the average gamedev
>>580724027they make shit games that's why they flop

>>580724027Or piggy back off existing branding, like the WEF. Add a panda and your game will sell.
how do i into making sprites or tileset style graphics. where do i even begin all I've ever used is paint.
>>580724468Actually mods delete this please, I shouldn't be giving away my marketing strats for free.
>>580724027My previous games made it without marketing so I'm owed that my future games make it without marketing as well
>>580721369Steam doesn't make you disclose AI code. People who do that are just trying to be "honest" but all it does is make gamers hate them lol.They are supposed to disclose the AI background art though and they didn't do it.
>>580724027My entire marketing strategy is to make the game free, then sell DLC with waifu costumes.
>>580726526huh. thats quite novel.
>>580724346is anyone unironically going to pivot to porn if this shit fails?I dont know if i will do that. i dont want to disappoint my parents...
>>580724027They still think they're in 2014 when indie game marketing was handed out for free and they just stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that they live in a different era.
>>580713305>depressed anime girl poster thinks he has valuable ideasPlease.

>>580726981My last scheme was an ai porn site so I guess the seal has been broken as far as doing depressing degenerate stuff for money.That dragon car wash porn game demoralized the shit out of me and now I think a furry bakery relationship simulator with porn in would do insane numbers.

>>580727014Yeah it’s part of being young. In 2015 I did a kickstarter and all effort went into the video and contacting some niche relevant news outlets, zero ads/marketing. I was just naiive. Got zero (0) backers and was super down about it for a few months. Didn’t even consider that the successful ones were spending half of their stated goal on marketing before the kickstarter started and the kickstarter itself was just PR for them, not money they needed.

>>580734607Cute!
>>580724027I see all this stuff about marketing, wishlists, steam, etc, but most devs can't even make a game you'd want to look at for more than a few seconds. Just scroll #screenshotsaturday.People emphasize all this dumb shit, like steam capsules and contacting youtubers but what I think is more important is to make something that looks good enough that someone would want to see more from a single screenshot.
>>580713305they can't close this place down, or else it'll breach containment.Just like tumblr did when they took down tumblr. The fallouts of the tumblr containment breach are still felt even to this day.
>>580735560I'm just doing some stuff to do with images and then I'll go back to dev.Part of why I even designed a bunch of characters was just to update something related to my characters.When I'm done with that, I'll design more levels, figure out new actors and even download again software like LMMS to make music for cutscenes (Which will reuse a system I set up to NPC conversations like the time bar).Hirdrih is meant to be shorter than Nortubel also.
>>580734607yesmultiple of them, in fact
are you even trying?
>>580736524>what I think is more important is to make something that looks good enough that someone would want to see more from a single screenshotso how far along toward that objective do you think (You) are?
>>580736552You jump and you shoot in the game. If you don't have 12 bosses then it is bad because it can't recreate an NES game.
>>580736756I don't know, but my itch.io games gets about 20-50 downloads per day, and they don't have any of that fancy marketing stuff. The thumbnails are just made from screenshots.

How do you stop procrastinating?I have very clear things I need to do but I games for 8 hours instead because they're hard.
>16 wishlists todayThe tides are changing. After months of stagnancy, things are looking up.
>>580741826I would like to know too, I have three days until I metaphorically die.Apparently you just write a list and get to work, but that can't be right.
>>580741643>>580741487>>580741323>gay furry shit
>>580740610make ecchi borderline stuff like gacha games do. as long as you don't show the goods explicitly they can't ban you.
man I wish I could afford an artist to do the art for the game, working with AI is such a pain, tell it to do (x) and it just doesn't do it, and even after tons of fine tuning it looks generic, not to mention the inherent hatebase you're going to have on release
>>580742065>>580741826If you are like me you spend a month trying to make a single model and have several panic attacks and soul crushing realizations that you are a talentless hack
>>580742582What kind of game are you making? I could be tempted if the game idea is good.
>>580741826Just fuckin do the thing and once you start doing the thing the thing ain't so badPut on some music or a long video you can mostly ignore for background noiseDo not, DO NOT come back here until you've made progress, otherwise you risk getting sidetrackedPut the THING in front of you and fucking STARTIf you don't do it and continue to feel bad, make excuses, avoid it because you think it's going to be hard/boring/tedious whatever, then you are FUCKED.
After a great deal of consideration I’ve decided that real time and RTWP are both just inherently worse than turn based and require dumbing down your mechanics no matter how hard you try.
>>580741826>How do you stop procrastinating?For me, I procrastinate all day until about 1AM. Then I can get a solid 3 hours of devving in.
>>580743217I can only do that shit once in a while because it will fuck my entire next day upIt sucks to get a good flow going and then your brain starts fucking up due to lack of sleep
>>580742424no u
>>580741826I make proggy nearly daily, here's my tips:>Pick the same time everyday to just start doing something, even if it's small like making a small asset>If you absolutely cannot get started, do something else productive like clean your house or whatever. Sit down on your computer later and try again, getting into a productive mood helps>If you aren't in the mood to do something, do something easy like thinking of ideas/writing them down. I find writing down ideas makes me want to work more. Even just scribble in a notebook or something and draw an imaginary character, anything will do>Shame yourself into not using social media, I do this by thinking that attention whoring is shameful so I usually just lurk. Never type on Discord, don't post anywhere, etc.>Don't play games unless you are testing them to get more ideas, do not play games with ranking systems or dailies since they expect you to play daily. Just stick to single player stuff, and only use it as a vector to get more ideas
>>580742582Post the last prompt you sent to the generator and I’ll do it
Showing the state your game should be a requirement when asking questions.
That game where you raise little wolf girls made by a 4chan dev is going viral.I feel happy for him.

>>580746340>visuals aren't part of the gamethat's why you will fail again and again, chuddy
>>580747105It's a wholesome pragmata-like.
>>580736536Difference is that Tumblr is technically another "social media" site while 4chan is seen as "dark web" to normies.The anonymity aspect is part of why people go here.Even if its culture changed for years to the point we got different stages of newfags insulting other newfags, there's still some element of wild west internet to some people that isn't really present elsewhere.

>>580747971Who said I can't?>>580747998Nice strawman, obviously visuals are a core part of VIDEO games but it's just a shame that so many big games these days almost entirely focus on the video and do the bare minimum with the game part, it's like humanity has a collective has given up on innovative and interesting game design and just take some pre-established mold and slap their own personal paint on top of itLook at Scarlet Skips, barely a game but is one of the most talked about indies of the year just cause of the art

Implemented basic enemy patrols for a stealth game. The enemy NavAgent takes an array of Marker2D positions and see-saws the enemy's actual position through the array, patrolling back and forth.Unfortunately I'm dogshit at pixel art. I think I'll lean into that weakness and aim for Gameboy Color graphics, not million-dollar budget homages like Mina the Hollower but actual DOGSHIT Gameboy level, in line with my current capabilities

Should I do segmented pieces in low poly models? Like foot / lower leg / thigh / hip?or do you guys just make infinite edge loops?because modelling shoulders that actually rotate nicely and pull on the breasts and back muscles is fucking impossible in low poly for meI'm really surprised they used baked normals in MGS1, on the fucking PS1 which has a GPU which doesnt even accept Normal vector data.
why not sell your game through mail order?
>>580755769
Not gonna bother with making games.I can't do it.So going to make some VN using AI and hopefully get some donors in patreon.
>>580755725Don't know enough about 3D to understand your question much less answer it but you've clearly NAILED your aesthetic goddamn. Stealth game right?
>>580755725if you are going to do low poly ps1 as a beginner then I don't see why not use segmented limbs, it will make your life easier
>>580757083not sure if you are pretending to be retarded on purpose or you are just a young zoomer who has never seen metal gear solid 1 for the playstationadmittedly it is probably the only game on the PSX which did custom normals and lighting calculation and so had the best graphics on the system
>>580757024
>>580757568It makes modeling a lot easier, sure, but it also means you have to babysit the parts in animation, no? Is that actually less work than the edge loop vertex painting iteration for derforming bones?
>>580757890you dont have to worry much about deformation when using segmented limbsthe only downside is that it looks bad on anything other than low poly models
>>580709381This is the most AI made game ever made with AI I ever seenI don't think a single asset was made by hand
>>580757568Joints are so easy to cut that I don't see how this makes your life easier.
>>580758410well no when you have segmented limbs you have no derformation at all,what I am wondering is if that is actually easier than trying to weight paint and so on to get a continuous model working, since the segmented model needs some babysitting to align the segments so the "seams" dont become too crazy
>>580758629what do you mean? aren't you arguing in favor of segmented limbs now?
I don't really need to win, I already won.I just need the pedotroons and luddites to lose.
doing bespoke, authored movement and stuff is not made any faster by AIif anything it is actually slower like what the hellit's just so much easier tho I cannot go back to hand coding

>>580709381>the ui layout designWew the likelihood this guy copied Branno feels awfully high. Branno is a competent guy too and getting copied this fast just bodes terribly. I don't think I can show off my game in any sort of fest unless it's within mere months of my games release. Whats an extra 1000 wishlists if the risk of revealing my game is a cloner copies me but better?
>>580759774 Like ball joints? Honestly can't think of a single low poly game which did this at the time. I remember in Resident Evil the segments would have these protrusions hidden into the mesh so that there is something to render in-between when the joints bent, but never seen these types of hinges. Maybe Tekken used them?
I was right. You can start apologizing now.
>>580761405
>>580712386>He doesn't like being too involved in the project because he doesn't get to enjoy the game as much afterwardsHuh so another guy with the same thought process as me in regards to not being able to enjoy games I make because I know everything about it. Once rich enough there's a chance I might just get a team to make my ideas into games. Then I can play them and still experience the joy of discovering things

I want to be an indie game developer to be a millionaire with AI help.I want to have a million dollars and then apply for an EB-5 green card.I want to live in North Scottsdale, Arizona, near the Mayo Clinic PHX-1 hospital, and then have an apartment roommate with a cool personal trainer daddy.If there gamedev failed, then I want to enlist in the U.S. Army.Married to a loyal blonde white woman and have tens children like Abraham.I love America.When I die, my corpse will be sent to a human sardine storage in Alcor Cryonic.Then I get revived 1000 years later in the Nier Automata world.Having a loyal sex with Commander Yorha and worshipped by trillions of female Automatons.Touring water planets and enjoying the beautiful night sky areola borealis with female automatons around me that are ready to die just to see me happy.1 million years of pure happiness passed, time travel is possible, so I go back in time to counter the heat death entropy and keep time-looping in pure happiness without end.

>>580773209I fucking hate stories.I just don't enjoy storytelling and find fiction the most boring shit ever.
Found some nice pixel assets on itch.io!... Only to discover the artist uses AI. It was not even disclosed, he said in a comment. At this point, even if I don't use it, any assets on the market could be partly or entirely AI. What can I even do at this point...
>>580773831my upgraded ui is one prompt and it completely changed my game for the better theres no reason to not be vague
>>580774283>use AI for my assets>set up a proxy sock puppet account where I release those assets>if I ever get accused of using AI for my game, just claim I bought them like that

>>580774283Pixel art isn't that hard just learn how to make your own assets
Some of you may be new here, but what happened to the slavic dev guy who was "3D scanning" wooden figurines that he carved himself by taking photos at like a hundred different angles to create a board game video game? Did he ever find his dog?

Why, why, why! It's been weeks now since I started a simple sounding task and I'm not even entirely sure what it was anymore! So many interconnected systems spawned from one thing! At this rate I'm building out a large chunk of the games systems! I wish gamedev was easy or that I at least got into it a decade earlier than I did.

Most people just don't comment on other people's games because they're not interested or have nothing interesting to add.
I started working on this game because I have nothing better to do.I still don't, but now the fear of wasting time(again) and not matching up to the skills required and sovl required is hounding me.The future is a gamble. there is no future for me that isn't a gamble.

>>580787697Does that mean theres a shader on top that just moves the entire background?>>580792006I once saw a girl irl whose hips were wide like that while the upper torso just got real narrow. No where near as thick legs or breasts that large (medium size maybe?) but she did have a very nice shape with narrow waist and importantly was slim. Like a good 6+ inches gap when compared shoulder to shoulder versus hip to hip length. It was extremely attractive, I wish I said something. Never seen a woman irl like that before. This excludes fat woman who obviously can achieve that shape just from fat distribution alone.What happened with this anon anyways? I see his game released earlier this year and it flopped.

>>580793898>spoiler>>580793640>a shader on top that just moves the entire background?I have no clue how his rendering pipeline works because he did everything from scratch.In Godot you'd just assign materials to specific objects (like a background image or a tileset), which makes it very easy to control.

>>580795510Genuinely if you had an artistbro who can just chug out art without being a lazy piece of shit + got claude + astra subs + have some game design knowledge you could just keep sniping games that seem good on the surface with your own tweaks to make them even better and all the drama from cloning the base game would just drive store traffic from the internet and eventually more people would figure that your game is actually better.

>>580795703Man the original is embarrassingly low quality compared to the cloner. Granted the cloner is a studio who from the looks of it has 30+ people on the team. Yeah I think all ideas ranging from small to medium scope are now out of the question to show early.>>580795726Finding a non-lazy, consistent, committed, and hard working artist is extremely difficult. Idk if you've seen any of the serious anons bring this up before but finding a good one is not an easy task. The amount I've encountered that act like they're all that only to not actually be is quite common.
>>580796796is that supposed to seem like a shocking idea?look at this onehttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/579795974/#q579841053
>>580797553>Finding a non-lazy, consistent, committed, and hard working artist is extremely difficult. Idk if you've seen any of the serious anons bring this up before but finding a good one is not an easy task.I know, that's why I said "if you had an artist", I'm very well aware that most artists are pieces of shit that won't even do the work even if you want to throw money at them. The most entitled and laziest cunts to ever exist. That's why I don't feel bad about AI getting better and better at this shit. Artists can't get replaced fast enough.

roguelite deckbuilder incremental idle horror game
>>580802332Eldritch Idle Deck Souls: Roguelite Extraction Auto-Battler Horror Incremental Crafting Metroidvania Soulslike with Deckbuilding, Base-Building, and Procedural Harem Management"You wake up as a cursed gacha summoner trapped in an ever-expanding procedurally generated liminal backrooms dungeon that also doubles as your idle auto-farming base. Every run you draft a deck of cursed cards that represent both your combat abilities and your idle resource generators. Cards auto-play in real-time while you AFK, but if you actually play they become a high-stakes extraction shooter where dying permanently deletes a card from your permanent collection (unless you pay the microtransaction “soul insurance”).Key features:Roguelite runs where every death advances a global “eldritch corruption” meter that permanently changes the meta for everyone (live-service horror).Idle incremental layer that keeps generating resources while the game is closed, but the resources are literally the screams of the NPCs you failed to save.Deckbuilder that feeds into an auto-battler where your cards fight each other in a soulslike stamina-management combat system.Full crafting/base-building loop so you can decorate your ever-shifting horror mansion between runs.Light metroidvania exploration of the same map, except the map is also your deck and rearranging rooms rearranges your card synergies.Just enough “harem of haunted waifus” management so the algorithm promotes it.Tagline on the Steam page:“The ultimate 47-in-1 genre fusion. Die, draft, idle, extract, craft, and suffer… forever.”Would 100% get a “Very Positive” review bomb from people who bought it during the next Steam Next Fest hype cycle.

>>580822513sis when is it ok to finally reveal your game?
lets all agree to sell our games for $60. we have all the power in this relationship. gamers are our slaves.
>>580822616Many moons ago I was working on a game in secret. Then one day a very talented developer stumbled upon a somewhat similar idea to mine. In a few weeks time he had achieved massive amounts of system parity. He achieved this in maybe under 25% of the time it took me. Now imagine it was a studio and they just used my entire games premise rather than starting from blank? A few months before release is when I think it will be safe to reveal my game.
>>580823670sis i think the real answer is exactly when you have a store front page
>>580823824A bit earlier than when the marketing starts.
here's a handy steam pricing guide.$0.99 - $59.99 = dalit tier game $60 = real game you made a real game right? do the right thing. make your game $60.
>Bro just get the wishlists and win
It's truly the end of an era. We can't even share our progress with our bros anymore without the risk of having your game copied with little to no effort. Even if the result is pure aislop that is objectively worse than your game, the fact that it exists makes your game less unique. How did it come to this?
my time is worthless so my game is less than a Mcchicken. I have no confidence to ask for more. its just my first game. i'll increase my price next game (never). it doesn't matter if my current customers are cheap skates. i'll just need to sell 130 units to make back my $100 fee(plus gaben tip) instead of selling [2] units at $60.
>>580824745You have to make an appealing game to get those wishlists.
>>580824985twitter fags bot the fuck outta their accounts and also twitter fags dont play games at all or buy games. all the gameplay footage of games are always the title screens.

>>580824976It's over, I just can't do it, I can't take the chance of showing it early. I've seen too many games that feel like clones. I don't care how much copium is stated the proof is there to see, you show it, you risk getting cloned.

>>580826068If your game is going to take you longer than a few months to make, it's too big for you.>>580826373Speed comes from skill and skill comes from practice. Most amateur gamedevs aren't spending the vast majority of their gamedev time actually making meaningful progress on their game. Instead, they have to waste time learning how to do various things.

Aislopers are so excited about the idea of copying games because they know AI can do anything for them except actually design a game
>>580822513>>580824976>>580826286always has beenif your game is good enough, someone will copy/clone it sooner or later, the only thing that you can control is how much of it remains a secret and how much is publicthe main problem is that as indies we can't use the secrecy card too much because we need people to see it, and that's the only thing that remains, to create an audience that will support us if this happens
>>580825079>twitter fags dont play games at all or buy gamesthis is truetiktok is the most profitable platform by far, highest conversion rate from what i've seen, not sure exactly why, maybe something about their algorithms retaining certain types of users who are more likely to spend moneytiktok virality = BiS promotion>>580826013>>580825741been noticing devs possibly lying about wishlist counts, confusing behavior, it does not seem to work well
been having nightmares about ai slop factories copying my game and using bot farms to promote it on social media
>>580827796could it be that the tiktok shop is right there and most people have a debt/credit card on their tiktok account so people are just more incline to spend on that platform?
>>580827796if indie devs actually used steam or played video games, they'd know the large majority of people almost never buy random wishlist games on day 1. It sits for years until they randomly remember it or see it being talked about

I want to make a Goemon-like but with Touhou. I feel like those two would mesh well together.
>>580828136this is why im gonna make my games $60 and never put it on discount. im going to follow the nintendo path because those fuckers got me. you have to design your game as if you would buy it
>>580828216dude i was just thinking about making a geomon like but not with touhou i couldnt figure out the aesthetics but that would work better good
>>580824745At around 40 copies sold per review, that is 20,000 copies, or around 25% wish list conversation rate, which is above average. Guy will probably have made around 500k gross off of it by the end of the year (which after steams cut and local/fed taxes, will leave him with around 150k)

>>580830575valve need to just incorporate a game's marketing run to launch as a built-in feature.But there's no competent adults at that company who care about actually improving games or the system.
>>580831307yea, you should be able to go from announcement, devlogs, and release all on steam. having to use social media is gay.
>>580831426Gamers play Steam games but waste time on social media
>>580831307Its so frustrating that valve sits on a literal dragon's horde of wealth but the developer experience on steam is soooo fucking bad and half assed.
>>580831426>>580831307>>580830575all valve needs to do is improve the search feature, add more filters, make it easier to find specific types of games and filter out the low effort garbageyou currently can't filter start/end values for release date, price, review score, or review amountcurrently the search feature is only good for finding specific games you've already heard of, most likely from a social media postif valve made it easier for people to find specific types of games natively on steam you'd have way more indie games getting more attention, if a game currently has a bad launch it's effectively buried unless it goes viral for some reasonyou literally need to pay for third party platforms to filter games by these metrics, it's ridiculously inefficientif i wanted to find a game between the price of 3 to 5 dollars, with 10 to 100 reviews, released between jan 1 2019 to jan 1 2023, with a review score range between 60% to 95% positive, and with a specific set of tags using both inclusion and rejection (yes tags for "atmospheric", no tags for "hentai" etc), i would need to use a foreign website to do that, why? why can't it be easier to search for games on the platform they're sold on? i literally want to spend money, but the only games i can find on steam are trending simulator games, triple a games, or whatever shows up in the new releases page>well why would you want to be so specific in your search terms?because after a while you identify the patterns of games you enjoy and can easily find more of them if you have the option to filter by these metricseverything else related to game discovery will flow downstream from thisvalve just needs to drastically improve steam's native search featurein valve's defense they did a good job with the "recommended based on games you play" feature, but that's not enough, there need to be more thorough native game searching options
>>580832335why do you feel you're qualified giving advice to a phenomenally successful and beloved (by gamercattle at least) company that has a defacto monopoly on PC gaming despite efforts by Epic and Microsoft and EA and others?
>>580832435appeal to authority fallacy, i've used the platform for almost 15 years, i'm qualified to give feedback on strategies that would improve the procedure of finding new gameswhy? because i used this exact search filter on vginsighthttps://app.sensortower.com/vgi/and genuinely found really good games that i otherwise would have no idea how to discover on steam alonethere is no reason for valve to not improve their search featurego experiment for yourself, make a free account and start looking for gameshttps://app.sensortower.com/vgi/https://app.sensortower.com/vgi/https://app.sensortower.com/vgi/
>>580832435valve has a "monopoly" because they're the only one of those companies that aren't beholden to shareholders muh number must go up. the other companies you mentioned could never run a service like steam because they'd fill it with ads and other BS.
>>580832524>appeal to authority fallacy
>>580832435It's more like>hey you retarded company, you're missing out on even more free money

>>580832715LMAO
>>580832286That's because they know that ultimately the money comes not from you, but from the customer. It's why they became the monopoly they are today, other companies didn't put customers first. See GFWL.
Useless progress-free blog post follows, filter with "days left until I run out of money".Happy Sunday! I've had a long hard night shift at the absolutely nothing factory so I rewarded myself with lasagne for breakfast, with extra cheese.47 days left until I run out of money. Today I'll continue working on explosions, but whatever I make today will be it on that topic, unless my game makes it enough to be worthy of a content update.
>>580832612Epic isn't publicly traded either and Tim has a controlling plurality and majority voting control but Tim is stubborn autist who frequently makes awful decisions. He nuked Epic's reputation among gamers mainly because he kept putting his foot in his mouth.-Valve's greatest strength is their ability to shut up. Actually during the paid mods fiasco Gaben almost did the same thing Tim did when he went on reddit to defend the paid mods but the difference is Tim kept doing the same thing over and over where Gaben shut up and let the PR people handle it. -Imagine when Gaben was telling game devs to use AI a couple years ago instead of just talking to the media he also went on twitter and argued with gamers telling him AI was bad, Tim did that.
>>580833786>so I rewarded myself withhow I loathe NPCs like you
>>580833826Tim could've done everything Gaben did with steam and I'm 99% sure he seethes because he didn't.
>>580833826It's all about looks. They hate Tim because he's physically unattractive, unlike Gaben
>>580833786YOU'VE BEEN BLOGPOSTING YOUR FUCKING BREAKFAST FOR LIKE A FUCKING YEAR WITH NOT A SINGLE SHOT OF THE GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>580833962Its frustrating because steam really does need competition and Epic and maybe Riot were probably the only two companies that had a chance to challenge them but Epic just shot themselves in the foot over and over and over for no reason. Like why did they launch the store with no shopping cart when even their own asset store had one? Why remove all quality standards at a time when that was actually one of the major complaints about steam?
>>580833875Don't knock on NPCs. In many games they're more memorable than the player character>>580834087I posted a screenshot from my game once. It was a black screen with an FPS counter
>>580834076gaben is a people person, timmy is just an autist
>>580833962>>580833826When Steam was starting out in its first years, Tim was saying PC is dead and consoles are the future. In particular he liked PlayStation's architecture or something.It's a boat he missed by his own short-sightedness.

Media sites and so on have to find a niche and then they become monopolies in that niche and the CEOs have to try really hard to fuck it up. I use Steam because Steam has games I play, and devs submit games on Steam because there are gamers like me, positive feedback loop. Unless you invent something new like TikTok endless scroll algorithm then you will not succeed, hell, even Elon couldn’t fuck Twitter up enough to make people leave to Bluesky.

making games with ai is pay to win.you'd think now even small creators can make their own games. but the opposite, now big studios can make games even cheaper, while you cant afford the subscriptions. meaning you have to do work manually while they can afford the subscriptions. meaning you have even less chances.
