AI can today hold your hand and lead you step by step through game development process, from downloading, installing, launching game engine and starting new project to credits. Give me yet another excuse why you still didn't finished your game?

>your game didn't flop because of marketing. It flopped cause it sucks.Bro was so smug in this video. Just like Cuffbustdev, he thought he had the Steam algorithm all figured out and ended up dumping $2 million into the project. He’ll probably go completely silent now and pretend this flop never happened.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCzhyUsDHPE
>>583261398
>>583261535To be fair the industry 2 years ago was a completely different place than the industry today.That being said I don't think 150 reviews in 3 days is a flop?

>>583261928please keep that trip you're doing worse damage to betz than him posting loli
>>583261747they need like 8k reviews to earn back the budget. the trajectory doesn't look great right now but I believe cozy gamers(women) will reach it eventually, because they don't get many III cozy games. few indies have that budget.
>>583261535cozy slop fatigue desu
I've fallen in love with my newest character, I keep her picture up on my second monitor and stare at her constantly
aint no way this shit cost 2 million dollarinoes to make
>>583262221i'm glad the artist parasite raped her for all he could

somehow i'm always depressed when i try to fix myself. it's probably because it creates expectation, like "i did better, now i want something in return". and if it doesn't happen, you get frustrated.

that glimmerwick game is designed in a way that immediately turns me off as a heterosexual male. i wonder what the target audience for that game is other than some niche type of women.even Palia is more heterosexual.
>>583262416they don't even know how to trip, which is funny
>>583262221I think the dev saw our threads. I couldn't find it anymore. Looks like he unlisted the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D9HnCZdq2k
>>583262820did they make the money back? don't want to give them views
>>583260669I have chosen a genre the requires a lot of writing. AI can't write gooder than me
>>583262820>7 years in developmentthat's the real kicker, I'm solo making a open world RPG and I can't imagine it taking me that fucking long

Ive been programming since my early teens but I didn't go to college and I didn't look for a job and instead I was doing freelance from project to project and it was going well but now I'm fucked. so I thought hey gamedev is something where I'll have a competitive advantage but now even most of that is gone because anybody can buy a template and have an AI work on it for youI failed at life because I didn't go to college and didn't work 9-5 so instead of seeking any kind of stability I'm trying an even longer shotam I in the right place?

you can keep releasing 30k games a year, none of them replaces project zomboid. so i wont buy or play it.

>>583263223rent cheap, work 25 hour weeks for minimum wage. do whatever you want in your free time.enough time to dev, while you have save income and an extra social real life because of the job.the manual for that was in the movie American Beauty.get the job that's available instead of that specific job you want to have.
>>583263530put your trip back on
>>5832628207 years ago was 2019, even before the pandemic. It's always tragic watching people get swept up by the changing of times.
>>583263530*nods wisely*fygoon was right.
>>583263223>didn't make it during the asset flip era>won't make it during the AI erahave you considered getting lucky?
>>583263696>check out /v3expo/>fygoon was right.
>>583263673to be fair, they correctly predicted the cozyslop wave, but they took too long
1/3 a new snowy biome! Also the default forest meadow area now has hills. Next map additions planned are enemy outposts.
>>583263592Lester Burnham was already a winner who got bored with a good easy life. he was having an existential crisis, I'm having a financial crisis. but I get your point, I'll have to get some kind of job it just sucks that I have the skills of a senior developer but not the credentials so that's like a doctor without a license to practice medicine
>>583259857>flopped
>>583263896>>5832636737 years for a game of any size is just incompetency. No game should take more than 4 years, and even then 4 years is really pushing it.
somehow commitment isn't the hard thing. the hard thing is finding something to commit to.if i'd compare it to dating, you'd need at least some basics to be in place. somewhat same age, not so unattractive that you have to lie to her about her looks, she being single and not married already, living in the same town or close.but what is the "game idea" equivalent of that?the thing is, i want to shift from "finding the best thing" to "making the thing i commit to work, at all cost".maybe i should just pick the game i played the most in the last 2 years and go with that genre?
>>5832639062/3 there's a day/night cycle with events planned depending on the time of day. Currently it only affects the visuals and the overall visibility.

>>583264149nigga is spite-maxxing
>>583263994Here’s a little business lesson: if you spend $2 million and make $150,000, that’s called a flop.

>>583264272Anon it's only been 3 days...

>>583263994>has to make millions back under gabencvnt's 30% tax + AI games coming
>>583263949its time to grow up. in the 70s if rent got high and jobs weren't available, people moved to a new town and found a new job. or they got the job that was available.young people nowadays have all those expectations "i live here so rent should be affordable", "i'm owed a living wage", "i'm owed cheap rent", "i'm owned a job".you can also think like that, but you'll suffer all your life and always be a victim.get the job you can get, no matter what it is. if possible something where you enjoy being a customer, because that means they have good management and you'll have nothing to worry about other than getting your work hours done.if that feels like giving up to you, then think long-term. you can still try to slowly grind towards success in the next 10-15 years. just not fulltime (yet).
>>583262195So....if I go to that college I will meet attractive femoids who will date me?>>583262221Devs paid themselves a salary supposedly an average of 80k a piece. So techinically it was them giving their own money to themselves. Pretend that Eric makes a new game, a very low quality game over 1 year and then proceeds to say he spent $50m making it>the only cost was paying myself a salary of $50m to make itLel. That's basically what those devs are doing albeit actually trying to make the game look high quality. Semantics basically.

>>583264692wtf am I reading
>>583264526KEKKKYPOW
why doesnt blow just hire artists and coders from the third world who will work for $500/ month
I am using AI with godot and I am doing my dream game and I will never tell anyone I used ai hehehehhehehe fuck you
>>583264924blow your brains out
>>583264924got my nigga confused with tbrush but w/e
>>583264741the best course of action if you made a successful game was to pivot to the gamedev coaching grift
>>583264924I suspect he will move to China soon. They worship him therehttps://youtu.be/EPAGXfHkBLA?si=kmWmnSg-oSTEwIhH
i understand that all hyped games are more about the idea and the hype. but i personally enjoy early access games that got 8+ years of development love. like 7daystodie, kenshi, terraria, factorio etc.maybe i should just go that route too. it's not optimized, i can't depend on it making money, but it'll be "my cup of tea" kinda.and i guess there's always an option to join early access after 2-3 years of development.
>>583264989I use Bezi, and vibecode everything. It even handles agent actions in the Unity editor. Of course,I won't declare anything on my steam page
>>583264989that shit is usually fairly obvious bruh, unless it's purely coding assitance
>>583262274The artist was the wife. The one wagie was supposedly a coder according to some anon here. Supposedly both devs are just artists so maybe only dabble at coding at best.>>583261535Oh i remember this vid. Its just a dragged out video that basically says>make a good game and it will sellBut woth extra steps
Early access is a fraud and a disease. Finish your shit, lazy faggots.
>>583259857>>583259958: Hirdrih Technologic ::progress :: Doing Untotern NPC stuff. As said before, dialogue portraits weren't done in Nortubel.
Saturday is fucking wasted. Spent the entire day experimenting with visual effects and the best I got is some rainbow vomit:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxSn2In0BwYSo yeah, making an "arcade top-down shooter, but with random upgrades" was a shitty idea. Because random upgrades are killing the "arcade" part of gameplay and as result I got the worst survivors-like ever created. It's time to remake this shit. Again.
im watching zukowski lecture someone about ai art right now i know he is a marketing expert but he is also an SS-tier talker/ entertainer >>583265429early access gave us rimworld nuff said>>583265157shouldve picked japan he could be eating tuna belly every day and be fucking jav star escorts like rara kudo but he decided to live in a smog-ridden town filled with scammers, government tyranny and misery
i don't reply to tripfags
>>583265501did u watch or listen to something in the background? i just resort to auto-piloting when i have auditory distractions
>>583265501:DD
>>583264529thanks!>>583264604it's good enough>>583264638soonâ„¢
>>583265718
>>583264413looks good so far king. I hope your scope is not too ambitious because that does not seem like a simple game to make.
>>583265501Many such cases. Game design is the hardest part of gamedev. If you intend to sell on Steam, don't make "arcade" games. Steam is for PC games.
gamedev is not for me, yet i always wanted to bruteforce it cause i have no other idea what to do with my programming skills. i actually enjoy game programming, but i can't do art, i don't have a budget and i can't collaborate with gay furries. and i tried using assets, but it's such a hustle and often not practical, that i also gave up on that.maybe the way forward is to just accept the void i'm in where i have no idea/goals. or maybe accept that that's just life, unless you have luck and good opportunities in front of you.or i need a ground-breaking change of mind that allows me to mentally accept a 10 year long development process, but right now i'm not in the mental state for that long of a project.
>>583265501but you were so close to getting posted by itch!
>>583265972goodbye
>>583265972this is the 3rd blog post of yours i didn't read
>>583265986>noisy art for a top-down shooterthey never learn
ahhh that new project high where iteration is rapid and your shit compiles in 1 secondmy other projects? hahahaha this is my project now
>>583266274buy an ssd
>>583264989It in as dungeon crawler rpg / life sim, I am doing the writing and artwork. AI is helping with the logic, design and coding, also telling it to keep it easily editable so lets say on the fly i want to switch out something I can just do it in game. It can make really fucking useful editor tools for godot. I have not opened godot itself other than creating the game project. Since that, ive been talking to codex and it been creating me .cmd files to test certain things and areas and such. Even if I cant make a cent with it, I am having fun and can convey my tragic teenage romance story I always wanted to make.

And the jam theme is.... https://youtu.be/kxVWGc8yo3A Anyways, that'll be the theme you work with for your game this week! Remember, you also have to work in the other requirements that you voted on this week which, as a refresher, are >Settings not fit for horror >A sacrifice mechanic >Riddles What any of that means and how it works in with the jam is left to your interpretation! Does sacrifice mechanics mean Aztec style sacrifices or does it mean that you're sacrificing something to gain something else? Or does it literally mean you sacrifice a car mechanic? All things I challenge you to have fun working with. And a couple other notes. Games do not have to strictly be made browser playable, we are able to download them as we have a windows OS to work with. A reminder that we will be reviewing jam submissions on a live stream next Sunday October 11th at 12pm EST. So make sure you tune in! Your jam submissions are due in OCTOBER 10TH AT 1AM EST! This'll allow for a day and a half of community ranking before us judges come in and give our score. Remember, to win you need the highest combined score from the community and the judges! And a disclaimer, while we cannot check for AI usage in code, we will be knocking down points for obvious AI art. Go out and have fun, and we'll check in throughout the week.
>>583267651>right, and you care about this because...?
>>583267832Theme: >THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE MODIFIER 1: >SETTINGS NOT FIT FOR HORROR MODIFIER 2: >SACRIFICE MECHANICS MODIFIER 3: >RIDDLES RULES >Explicit content: Allowed but tag your game as NSFW (NSFW games will not be streamed due to ToS) >Using IRL images of people who are not you will result in immediate disqualification. >No late submissions. All games must be submitted by 1AM EST Oct 10th >Voting happens Oct. 10th-11th >Games will be scored based on community ranking and our judge’s (BrimstoneWalker) ranking, highest combined score wins >Winner must provide contact info of some kind (email, discord, etc.) through our email gamesubmit4v3@gmail.com >DISCLAIMER: We discourage the usage of AI for art.

>>583267979I'm going to use AI art for EVERYTHING in my submission and I hope it makes my overall score 0.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EtONQNALv8In game menu progress as of this morning.
Which one has more potential for revenue: Steam or Play Store? Steam supports game demos, while the Play Store has a trial mechanic (people can try paid games for one hour of gameplay). I imagine if the mobile market is easier or harder to enter compared to desktop.
>>583265956Yeah, I know. Ideally I should make some simple incremental/autobattler/idle game which plays itself - those are easy to make and they are very popular on steam. But, man, I hate these games so fucking much! I actually tried to make some primitive autobattler, but ragequitted it after two days.
>>583265986Okay, I know I'm using a limited color palette, but it's not THAT bad....R-right?

>>583268614>those are easy to makeThey are way harder to make than action-arcade games.
>>583268274:/ for mostly just small tidbits of info you think its good enough for that? Not something i want to pay for desu when a regular search can get me the same answers from elsewhere just not consolidated.
>>583267310yeah
>>583268195>What is flash lite?e.g. these 3
>>583269236>>583269074
>>583269329i dont have a sister
>>583268545Depends on what you got a talent for. Mobile is said to be even more pay-to-win (pay for ads, get players) ~ in any case to make big money ofc. the play is to go big on mtx and milking whales.
>>583268929Well, maybe. I’ve heard that many such games were made in 3–4 months, so they should be pretty simple, considering such a short development cycle.
i need a small loan of a million dollars, anyone?
>>583267832>By your powers combined I will create the most mid game in history
>>583270029why yes, me too
>>583270029how about Liberian dollars? that would be around 6k usd
>>583268506to supplement portraits maybe. I do prefer shading pixel art manually, this is quite far from my usual style, but I'm digging experimenting with it.
