proggy anchor
>>581113930I made my menus go bloop when you hover the mouse over them
>>581113930Working on game UI, so not much prog. I am stuck on Figma duty and asset hunting for now.
>>581114194Fuck, I gotta do that.
>>581113930I'm making plant assets.
>>581112528Do you not trust the feelings of the flesh?Our biology yearns to join with yours
I can't even make simple 3d models but I want to make a game where I need a system for modular 3d models since I want tanks and equipment and stuff (Different tank guns/armour, ect.) that you can modify. I want it to be low poly.How do I begin here or is it over for me?
>>581113930Finally back home. Planning on updating the whole game world with these updated grass assets.
now that the dust has settled astra and 5.1 are not super big leaps for gamedev, astra got nerfed so it's kinda shitting its pants for 3d modeling which is too expensive anywaymy only hope is for chinese models to catchup while staying cheap in the next 6 months
>>581114194Isn't it typically more like blup?
>>581116035start with low poly blender tutorials (I suggest grant abbitt) and then unity or godot tutorials on 3D gamedev. or just tell AI to do it for you
>>581113930I've put the fully mapped fly brain into the NPCs in my game. i haven't but I should
>>581116035Just keep trying. Modular machines aren't too tough because the parts/meshes fit together easily. Also easy to model them because everything is blocky and stiff, odd rig tutorials are out there for machines too so plenty of resources.
Progress:Decided to have something new to regret so I'll quit my job tomorrow.
To the people who have played MMBN before, what do you think of the card code system (the letter thing where you can only use chips with other chips with the same letter)?Do you think it's a product of its time or can it be an interesting system to use in a modern game?I still can't decide if I should use the letter thing or just use a mana system like every other recent MMBN clone. The letter system would be harder to balance, I think. Also I feel like the modern audience would get really confused by the system and they are not known for reading tutorials
>>581116401no it's more like a chickachickaaah
>>581116887cool, it's easy to get a new job when you need it in a couple of months or a couple of years. just make sure your handshake is firm
>>581116960I played it as a kid and barely remember that part.
>>581116439Thanks, I don't want to use AI for this because I want a consistent art style. >>581116875Yeah, I do want to eventually add people with the same level of fidelity but my thinking is that I should learn how to 3d model stuff before I try a human, I think that a human is going to be much more complicated to get right then a tank hull.
>>581113930working on goods together with astrachan :)
cris would you kindly donate your brain to science? I need the fully mapped connectome of a 40yo colombian man for me next game
battle system loop is working now.we can enter battles and emerge victorious.working on all the nuances of the battle mechanics now.as for pic related...heheheheh...this is the bane of all excel rayne players. the first "git gud" check. you thought you could run away from Owl in my new excel rayne?
>>581117539Just use 6 fruit flies stuck together, has about the same computation.
>>581116960don't try to autismally clone apply some of your own thoughts into what you're cloning
>>581117574what is blud waffling about
>>581117391At least with humans, you have like unlimited tutorials. Don't worry too much, I only had to model like 4-5 human models before I got one I actually stuck with. My first human model was literally just blocks like a minecraft character, you progress pretty fast if you keep at it.
>>581117769I look like this...
>>581117701it's some schizo who pretends to be a foid don't reply to it
>>581117701>W-what do you mean targets can fly? WHY ARENT MY ATTACKS WORKING!?Owl is an infamous check at the very start of the game. It works as a tutorial for the air vs ground mechanic which dominates the game, and will dominate ERX too, i'm not changing that.I love "git gud" checks in games. Don't you?
>>581117769I look like this and I say this >>581116887
>>581117975STOP TRYING TO CANCEL NORA. FUCK YOU.
>>581118228kys simp
>>581118291>DON'T REPLY!you are an enemy to society. i hope you realize that.
>>581117975Nora is a girl?!
>>581117975Is it a troon or a real foid?
>>581118520you can think of me as a girl if you like. my gender changes depending on who i'm talking to. i'm gender fluid in that way.
>>581117769I had a folder with that picture back in school. The text said 'Train your brain - use it or lose it'
>>581118669>"girl"Oh it's a troon.
>>581118669fluids are to be flushed down
>>581118817i'm not a troon. i don't suffer from gender dysphoria. i don't think i was born in the wrong body. on the opposite, i think i was born in the right body.anyway back to development progging.

>>581119321why did nunbro leave us when he became a yesdev?
>>581119321WHy is that slut showing her armpits? What the fuck is this?
>>581116960It's a fine system. If you feel like 26 letters is a bit much, you can replace it with a smaller set like colors or gems.
>>581119995I have seen him working on dungeon watchers a bit here a couple of weeks ago
>>581119995Well this general isn't called professional game development. Once you're making money you don't really belong here.
I will make Coffin of Andy and Leyley clone and get a cute Eastern European goth gf.
>>581119698This.>>581119601>he treats women as a peer-level threatNGMI
>>581119995All yesdevs eventually leave because once they have a stable source of income they mentally mature to a point where they realize this place is a massive waste of time filled newfag children trying to troll each other 24/7.
>Have an utterly killer idea that would draw attention to my game.>Cannot post the idea on my games twitter because it will give everyone else this idea and it will take me about another year to finish my game.This sucks.
>>581120494I actually regressed. I was actually doing well with gamedev income when I first found agdg and since then it's all been clownhill
>>581120460I AM SHODANhttps://youtu.be/QGEjKoGHzO0
>>581120627I share all my game development with my closest friend, gives me enough attention to keep going.I would love to share it on social media though, I thought about disguising it as an art project so no one copies it and then say it's a game later.
>>581120712why can't they make games this cool anymore? Any vibecoders making System Shock 3?
>>581120627there's an upside to thathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVnLW47cpFk
>>581120912All that guy has to do is come up with ideas and a giant team does the work. Easy for him. A lot of people can come up with ideas all day.I'm chugging through making thousands of assets and it's hard to keep pressure high.
>>581120878Might take inspiration from it
>>581119995I am here, but I normally post when I have something to share, right now I am working in Dungeon Watchers because I want to finish that project but I had to also work in this new update for Guns and Nuns, which is a big one because is a new map, new weapon, new enemies and a Boss.I feel like I will keep making more maps for the game, probably 2 more.
>>581121724did your game get you a girlfriend?
>>581121724hi nunsis
>>581121795Bro is too gooned out to even want a gf
>>581121724I boughted your game and it was utter mid.I didn't leave a negative review out of good will. I hope you'll do better.
>>581122114Cooming kills braincells https://youtu.be/pp5xGLj1RME
>>581121724Are the sale numbers on the soundtrack itself good?
>>581120912Sakurai always gives the most surface-level "advice" imaginable. Boomer's out of his element, he probably hasn't seen an IDE in years.
>>581122710the topic is whether to share what you're working on or not
>>581122290Making a bundle with the Ost it's a nice bonus.
>got blocked by jonny blowie
>>581123891I've never heard anyone talking about or purchasing a soundtrack
>>581123298This. I'm not sharing any of my melee clone considering how badly tournytroons ruined it. Look at them constantly baiting. Fuck.
>>581124697Like wtf does that even accomplish besides wasting time? You're all the fucking way over there hiding in the corner. Now I have to think of a way to stop players from fucking cucking out and doing that gay shit.
it really feels like that type of game is some kind of psychological disease or somethinghow do people still play those things

The v3jam is drawing near. Make sure you sign up! We've updated our site to include some new things pertaining to the jam, so check it out and enter in the Konami code for a surprise.https://thev3expo.com/
>>581126365Isn't that the girl that fucks dogs
>>581125386>And does that mean that if you are one of these games in here (cloned games), I'm going to shun you? I I honestly don't think so. Because for me, game development is a job, but in a different way than you think.
>>581126481No unfortunately. But they had a lovely conversation back before the summer show.
>>581127075Lel
>>581126365Did you ever find some woman to voice something?
>>581127417Yep! We brought on our new VA this weekend and are working with her to overdub the jam opening animation, and she'll be our VA for Squilchan going forward. We're just right now determining if we want a 1:1 of the last girl (which she can do) or if we want her to do her own spin on it.Plus she can sing which is a huge bonus going into 2027.
>>581127607Cool, hope it goes well for you. I'm a little shocked some woman out there was even willing so quickly.
>>581127817Actually I found her and offered her the role on the spot after listening to some of her stuff. We did have one applicant but by the time they applied we had brought on the other girl.This new VA actually asked me for a personality sheet and I had to whip one up because none of the previous ones asked me for it. Shows how fucking amateur we are.
I'm only gonna hire Japanese VAsWestoids are fucking slop that sound like they're making a mockery of the work
>>581113548NORTUBEL LOST HIS FUCKING MIND
>>581128150I will hire no VAs because voices are annoying in video games.

i don't want to dev...i just wanna be rich...
>>581128962Is that fucking Ultima?
If I don't finish my game by time WoW Forever launches that shit is never getting done
>>581129145>western voice actors do not take anything seriously at all>literally 0 idea of how to do dramaJust hire bongs, they work for cheep and make your game sound fantasy too.
>>581129620I wish I could sleep like this without that side of my face filling up with acne>just wash your pillowI do it doesn't matter i just have shit genes
>>581129816Whats your diet like?
Should I do pbr or only diffuse
>>581129816eat more eggs faggot.
>>581128962Hard to fathom that this fucked up perspective was actually used in several games. Looks both unappealing and retarded to create assets for.
>>581129816>he still uses a pillowThat shit was literally invented to keep doctors in business. I haven't had any neck or back issues since banishing this deviltry from my bedroom.
I hate talking to other game devs and finding out that the only game they have played is fortnight or balders gay 3.
>>581130287ntavegan here, never had any problems like that evergoing to downvout that ponst and also let you directly know about it
>>581130543You're not supposed to have it under your head, you're supposed to have the pillow on your face just above your nose so your eyes are covered by it

how do I turn this flavour of the month shit into a game?

>>581128828It's annoying to have to read. Audio logs are based

>>581133298>annoying to have to readHow old are you?
>>581133534>>581135213I hate you fucking faggots with decent art trying to pretend you're no good at it, actually the most obnoxious victim complex humblebrag nigger shit possible
>>581135572Probably not his art given the weird filename.
If I post progress here and I make it big will I get cancelled for being a 4channer and posting in a schizo general
>>581135789no
>>581135789No one will care unless you post something weird while your game is attached to it and someone digs that up.
>>581129494I baked another one>>581129596tibia>>581130308I love the oblique projection>>581131058SOVL
he's just like me....
>>581131973>>581133167gmi
>>581135572It's not a humblebrag it's a defense mechanism. It's so if anyone comes out and say "actually your art is shit" they won't feel bad since they already rationalized that their art is shit. People do this all the time and it's to avoid being hurt.
>>581136341Real niggas included
strange things happen to people who don't add lolis to their games
>>581135572That wasn't my art no need to get pissed. Now this dogshit is mine
>>581137178like what
>>581137216keep going anon, you can do it.
>>581136341What kind of move was going 1-bit art? Nutty
>>581113548How come the /v/ threads always have cool games with tons of interesting progress posts but the /vg/ threads are always retards shit flinging about who is a yesdev and who is a ai tranny?
>>5811378831-bit is fine if you're like an expert artist or something. World of Horror did it fine.
has any 8x8 pixel art game been successful in the last 10 years? I always see these packs on itch and concepts on twitter but 0 games
>>581138329lil shua doesnt frequent the /v/ thread
pretty happy with my newer skill level, chuddies.
>>581135895>you post something weird while your game is attached to itbut anybody could do that
>>581138770this is obviously ai made, cris
>>581138770back to AI?
>>581138781I would use a trip honestly, I know tripfagging is annoying but at least someone won't pretend to be you while posting weird shit. Or just don't post your game here and only bother with DD or something, no one is going to pretend to be you on itch.
>>581138930>>581138958Took me 3 hours.Is not 100% AI
>>581132749>Any pixelchads got tips on shading?You need to pick the light sources. For the beginning id just go with one. For shading i usually do the following: Lay down all the form shadows. Add cast shadows. Add ambient occlusion and then bounced light (dont overdo it).Try to always hue shift your shadows towards your ambient colour. Usually itd be the environment colour, but if it has no background you can just go for the opposite of your main light. One thing thats always helpful with rendering is to have a layer that is black or white and change its layer mode to hue. When you turn it off and on you can see how well the values of your piece read. Also try to not outline every form. Dark outlines should be used for when to signal depth. For forms shadows should be enough. Not every form needs to be perfectly surrounded, sometimes its better to collapse shapes if it reads better. Zoom in and out a lot and flip your canvas occasionally, it helps to give a new perspective on your piece. For pixelart specifically try to avoid jagged lines. Your line progression should always be 1 1 2 2 3 5 and so on, not 1 2 1 1 2 2 1 2. And if you need to mix the values, mix them proportionally, so 1 2 1 2 1 2. Small abrupt changes read really bad, its better to just simplify the form. The shins of your character are very jagged as an example. Hope it was helpful. Good luck.
>>581139031You forgot to tell the AI to stop changing misty's hair in every frame. Even the hair tie changes color.
>>581139289that's a gif artifact.
>>581139072how do you select an environment color? now that I think of that I never do that... maybe that's why my assets always look like they do not belong to my scenes
>>581138770>>581139496>>>/wsg/6234794
>Indie Games Hub uploaded a trailer of my gameSo basically I won pretty much
>>581135572There's a huge gap between learning to make passable art with a pencil and being able to produce art for a game
>>581140634can I see it?
>>581134495It gets slightly less worse anon, keep it up. I'm wrestling with Chaos Physics and its not super pleasant but I think I'm getting the hang of how its supposed to be done, so its slowly getting easier.
>>581139072Holy pixelchad! So much to keep in mind. Yeah the shins are nasty looking back. I'll fix them then practice reducing outlines and using shadow instead.
>>581140634what are you going ot make us guess? just tell what is your game
>>581140089Choose the general feel you want to go for. When youre outside the shadows that face upwards get tinted blue (because of the sky) and brown / green or whatever your ground is when facing downwards as an example. When a shadow has colour, it means that the light bounced of some surface. The closer the surface the stronger the bounce.You can also choose the colour just for artistic reasons. I prefer shifting many of my shadows more into the purples, because i just like how it looks. But in environments outside it can look a bit weird and i was critiqued for it a few times ahaha. Whats important is being consistent. In portraits or sprites in my opinion its better to just pick an overall shadow colour instead of giving each sprite a different one. Dont just colour the shadow the colour you chose though. If you want to go from yellow to purple you can go through red as an example. The farther away your hue is the more desaturated the mixed colour will become.

AI status?
Holy fuck I hate slate. It's all macros. How the fuck is anyone meant to do anything with that abomination of psuedo c++?
>>581148051ai shills are just obnoxious and insecure about ai usage. they have no talent or taste and it's very clear when you see anything they put together.real yesdevs are using ai without shouting all the time about how ai is the future and everyone should just accept slop. the best ones can use ai without anyone even noticing.

>upload some old shit i made 10 years ago to suno>mfw suno cover gives me my main themehttps://vocaroo.com/17jTxiJZgPp3
>>581148949what did the original sound like
>>581149074basically the same but with shitty synth instruments, more marching band style, less flair, and less noisealso it was only half the length, suno just doubles the length with random similar sounding shit for some reason
>>581149275just fucking upload it and post the link so I can listen to both for comparison
>>581149494sure, it also had a guitar recording but I think suno ignored thathttps://vocaroo.com/1e87lIJDAHuhi think for suno you need to give it the full melodies and at least hint at the right chords and right instruments
>>581149790so basically you've uploaded the first song and told it to not make it shit? or did you give it chords as the prompt input?very interesting regardless
>>581149790kino>>581148949slop
>>581148949I hate to say it but the original has more soul>maybe include a toggle in the options for "Retro" and "Upscaled"
>>581149913>told it to not make it shit?no you just spam a bunch of "music words" to get what kind of style you wanti haven't touched the lyrics sections yet, but apparently you I believe you can change how the song progresses there even if it is fully instrumental
>>581092564it's hard to justify the time to draw a piece atm. that's a day or two worth of free time i could've been doing something else... also, even without regard for effort, a local setup of neo forge with anima 1.0 honestly outputs better looking "drawings" than most of the shit i ever drew, so doubly hard to justify.my pen has been relegated to texturing and weight painting only.
okay fine, I'll make more fanart for proggy anchors
what's a good 3d artstyle that's feasible for solo dev? i usually do everything in photorealistic style but i think having that level of detail will be shooting myself in the foot because all assets will need to look good and it will take a million years to create. i'm thinking about hand-painting low poly model and not doing any sculpting at all, but I have very little painting experience so it feels daunting. hm, maybe i can just use photo textures on low poly models
geeked out
>>581151240just use substance painter or import models from asset stores or sketchfab
I mean, this is basically perfect.It's good enough to be usable for a pop up VN.
>>581151926*rubs eyes*oh my god you are so stupid*starts crying*
Now that I started to design the menu basics... Fuck, there is a lot of shit to think about. I have less of my game crystal clear than I initially thought. And it is difficult to think about how I should present things or even what to focus on first.
I ate all my progress
>>581151240You can do photo-bashing (photo textures) on low poly models if you want. It's pretty common now and people seem to like it.I've been hand painting my textures and I would say it's tough. It looks really good but it's the most time consuming thing I do and my textures are small, takes longer than putting a whole mesh together and weight painting/rigging it combined. Maybe I'm just slow though and I'll get faster eventually.

>>581151294>>581152842what's up cosmicdev, I thought you were doing a space game
My life is ruined. All I can do for the next 9 days is watch old-school OVAs and smoke weed for inspiration. This sucks. It's Over.
>>581152561
>>581152964i was, but thats doneprobably wont sell well but i just really wanted to make it, pretty short
>>581152735yeah for me when doing realistic characters doing the high poly sculpt takes the longest, but I imagine like you say for handpainting it would take almost as long since you need to paint the light and details you would normally bake in. i'll probably just stick to photo textures then, i think that gives me some wiggle room where I can still author my own assets or use asset packs fairly easily and just replace textures. thanks for the advice

All I can do is work on my gamedev lair and listen to dank music to inspire musicdev, sure is boring around herehttps://youtu.be/i1tKUKSL618
>>581150121>>maybe include a toggle in the options for "Retro" and "Upscaled"i tried it on the other song i had from 10 years agothat one doesnt have as strong melody unfortunately seems to have helped with the noise thoughspliced the two attempts together since it was so much filler craphttps://vocaroo.com/1nwrHxwtnE2A
>>581153676I need my amphetaminesI'm so addicted. I don't know how I'm gonna make it through the next 10 days. Everyone was right, no should ever take Vyvanse to improve focus, it should stay illegal https://youtu.be/2ZANNt_uyvM
why did god choose indie devs for this suffering?
BRO WAKE UP YOUR GOTTA MARKET YOUR GAME WHY ARE YOU POSTING HERE INSTEAD OF GETTING VIRAL ON TWITTER COME ON BRO GET ON IT
>>581130308Also to address >retarded to create assets forIt has the same benefit as isometric that you only have to draw characters from 2 angles instead of the 3 you have to draw for traditional 3/4
>>581154615Should be posting it on soul-zone.org and selling sfx packs https://youtu.be/09I8ibGwHnw
does Steam censor child characters being killed? can children, for example, get beheaded or otherwise dismembered in-game without needing an offsite patch?i believe those patches are almost entirely for lewd content (which this wouldn't be), but then again all recent Steam releases i remember playing prevent children from being harmed entirely... is that borne out of some form of necessity? or can you go as hard as you want as long as it's not nsfw, and people simply choose not to offend?
>>581154615My game is unmarketable.
>>581155091That's all the more reason to MARKET YOUR GAME or NOBODY WILL SEE IT and YOU WILL DIE ALONE
That's it, I'm tired of my games not making any real money, time to make a rogue-like deckbuilder
>>581154957Children can be killed in games. Most devs don't bother because even if Steam allows it, YouTube and other platforms won't allow it to be monetized. From a "marketing" standpoint, you'll have tons of trouble getting basically any content creator to upload videos of it unless it's a minor part of the game that can be cut out.
>>581152842Are you a millionaire already?
it's so fucking over, marketing is everything, if you're not terminally online on reddit/twitter/tiktok you're not gonna make it
>>581154308
>>581154957Also forgot to add on that some countries will just outright ban it from selling there, it's fine in the US market obviously.
>>581154957https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Un9r3te3GcIt's just not seen as good PR but it's not forbidden or anything (in the US, it's censored harder on some other countries)
>>581154947What the hell is this site for?
>>581154947>>581155589>>581155668For you guys to post game and make money. I'm going to add an account system soon but I've been so busy preparing for Vintertaal in ashen kumpfthttps://youtu.be/OyQ2I-hTV8s
Sheeeeiiiiiit
>>581155202Ok, I'll set the goal of posting my game on somewhere marketable before the end of the year.
>>581155356>>581155598>>581155629alright, thanks. i'm not cutting it then.from what i gather it'll cause issues with germany, australia, japan, singapore, china, sony, nintendo, microsoft, etc, but no matter; steam users based in usa and (most of) eu will get to play.

at what point in development do you start sharing your game(s) here?kinda want to show something soon but feels a bit retarded to do before i'm certain an eventual release is actually realistic; any given project could easily end up an abandoned prototype despite being somewhat playable already.

True or false: feedback from most devs is actually worse than feedback from idiotic players who can barely form a coherent sentence.
>>581176271Devs give bad advice sometimes but at least you can make sense of it. Gamer feedback where they say almost nothing is hardly feedback to begin with.Obviously, some gamers give good feedback though.
>>581173954Based and oyveypilled anime. Making jews seethe just by existing. Same as me.
>>581176271True, devs are often completely self-absorbed and think that their opinions are the only correct opinions.
>>581176271Same. Most devs are idiotic players.
>>581176271Both are equally bad. The difference is that devs are more likely to try to give you a solution to an issue on your game and you should almost never to listen to solutions proposed by your playtesters.
>>581176271The best feedback I've gotten was just watching people play while their face is in the corner and they comment throughout without knowing I'm watching(stumble upon the game). I think a dev playing it like that would not work so well as they criticize shit nobody cares about
>>581176912>I think a dev playing it like that would not work so well as they criticize shit nobody cares aboutding ding ding
>>581176912Gamers do that too though. Try asking players what changes you should implement to a game and you'll get really stupid suggestions no one cares about that just personally appeases like one person.
>>581176271Devs usually don't see the forest for the trees. Players are drooling idiots. Neither gives good feedback.
>>581176271It really depends on what stage of your gamedev career you're at. If you're a beginner or perma/beg/, neither you nor a regular gamer knows how to properly articulate problems or solutions, and at that point, developers who do know how would be more helpful. Once you're skilled enough that you don't have major technical flaws and you're able to properly decipher player feedback, then developer feedback is worth less.

>>581130551Tbh I haven’t played that many games since as a kid I was mostly addicted to MMOs and from 19-29 I only let myself play one game a year for 1-2 weeks because I was afraid of wasting my entire life.But I have a list of what all I need to play and am chipping away at it while being way more observant and taking notes and stuff that I wouldn’t have if I’d just played a lot of games as a young person. Idk. If someone wanted to be a writer but hadn’t read hundreds of books I would laugh at them. How many games does one need to have played to be able to make one? 50? 10?
