Are you ready to accept that YouTube is the solution for your marketing?
>>583647574But what about that pixelshit rogueslop game where the devlogs went viral on Youtube and it had like 30k wishlists and 2 publishers and got 25 reviews?

I'm gonna vibe code an app that is a text writer to write in japanese for N5 N4 faggots without the use of LLM, with a grammar checker, dictionary and rhymes and synonym dictionaries.
cant believe ai made me a friggen planet, that is starting to look fairly good. running in a browser. game ready. voxels. can dig to the core and out the other side. they've almost reached an acceptable visual quality to me, then i can ask claude to code the rest of the game, i wont have to do shit, apparently
but now we get to the truth, that when on the surface it still needs a lot of work. that is if you require AAA graphics, i don't. i'm a roblox kid so idgaf about graphics
last screenshot. it was a set of 4. it shows water is in a better state than the terrain itself
>>583644724hoes
>>583644690They used AI to make that. Guess your fucked now
>found bug using raylib>tfw I'm using 5.6 version instead of 6.0>tfw I did some changes in the source codeah great, more unplanned things to do
more like gaylib ahahahahahaha

Opera GX should be legally banned from calling themselves a gaming browser until they release their own fork of webGPU that outperforms wGPU and Dawn, and has more features the others don't such as raytracing. You can't call yourself "gaming" anything if your browser doesn't do the one thing in it's name that sticks out, play games better. Being able to change browser feature's colors and have a discord sidebar and shitposting on X all day doesn't make you gaming anything.Change my mind.

>>583660895are you a faggot or something
Fine I'll try opus. For sloppers here, do I need the basic or max version to prooompt games? Also is it better to say a massive prooompt describing the entire game idea or is it better to make several smaller proompts for each system?
>>583660876Its funny that the games industry invested so much into AI and now all of their significantly better older games are essentially free and open source. I've had more fun playing halo 3 with 64 players than any AAA game in years lmao.

This would single handedly kill the biggest issue with brower gaming, no one wanting to download a game every single time so assets being low poly.https://kaset.dev/concepts/versioning.html>obviously make sure it supports Wasm64 and web workers for multi-threading>hard encourage all devs to use the KTX2 standard>hard encourage the Nanite system for meshinghttps://x.com/hybridherbst/status/2057976264363843603>Sell itself on being an ACTUAL gaming browser and not made from Chromium like all the others while still using the superior v8, but with the faster rust wGPU variantIf someone actually build that stuff into a browser the three.js would cater to it and people would unironically flock to it.

>>583647574I just don't have that dog in me to bring in a crowd through jestering online.It used to be that all you had to do was make a decent game, and it would spread organically without having to shill it yourself. Not even "top 10 good", but "decent" and you'd get a decent amount of money in return. That's no longer the case nowadays because of lower barrier of entry and huge amount of selection for the customers. (This already happened with mobile store long ago and now it's been slowly happening to Steam for some years now.)The old environment, with higher barrier of entry, favored nerds who were passionate about games and nerd stuff like LOTR or Conan the Barbarian and weren't that good socially but had the patience to grind the necessary skills for years. The current environment favors more socially inclined people who don't mind coming up with skits and spamming them on tiktok/youtube shorts, putting on some wacky identity online, managing discord server, etc. (At least in the indie context where you don't have AAA marketing budgets.) The industry isn't worse per say, but it's different, it's only subjectively worse for the nerds I mentioned, and subjectively better for people who didn't have the patience for repetitive work but don't mind putting themselves in front of people.(I do think exceptional games will still float to the top, but it's the kind of game that's a "top 10 best seller" level. I'm thinking the gap between the "rich" and the "poor" among game devs is also getting wider, but maybe this will change in the future when things stabilize a bit.)

>>583674674I kept on running on billions of performance issues with godot, basically anything I was doing at any point let to worse performances, UI, targeting, animation systems, trying to give infantry better more fluid animations and AI also proved to be a huge pain point on godot.Probably the best course would've been to go Unity rather than UE, but it seems that nobody gives a shit about unity anymore so I might as well go for UE, I also have a bunch of packs on fab from various bundles so I was like, you know what fuck it
>>583674750Here are my thoughts after not watching it_)_*(The Power of Iterative Refinement: Blow emphasizes that true quality comes from a willingness to delete even "good" content His team spent two years sifting through levels to ensure every puzzle was focused, purposeful, and free of unnecessary clutter.Non-Intrusive Storytelling: When integrating narrative into gameplay, avoid drowning out the mechanics. Blow suggests using optional audio logs or background dialogue that players can engage with at their own pace Designing for Accessibility: Aim for depth without making the game unfair. The goal is to teach concepts naturally. When players hit a wall, they should feel like they are missing a concept they need to learn, rather than feeling like the game is broken or cheating.Managing Crunch and Launch Realities: Both developers discuss the intense pressure of the final months. McMillen notes the importance of being prepared to support the game post-launch with quick, responsive updates for bugs and polish Finding Your Niche: They share a common philosophy: it is more rewarding to create a game that is a few people's "all-time favorite" than to create a product that is merely "pretty okay" to a mass audience.

FUCK IT!!!! starting a new project that's less scope and easier to make and ill make tons of money because my ideas are great fuck you!!!!!!
>>583674836Yeah that makes sense I thought you were going from UE4 to 5. I feel like 4 is like godot but better in terms of performance, the engine overhead in UE5 makes it unappealing to me since I'm using the lowest render settings anyways. Optimizing on 5 seems way harder, professional dev teams using it don't bother targeting steam deck or older hardware even if they use le psx art
>>583674282This is really fucking cool desu, I don’t even know whyLike if you were playing some cozyslop game, and then it did this and became spooky, that would be sick.
>>583674282Keita Takahashi wants to know your location
>>583675168Is balding the secret to game dev success?
>>583675598Yeah I thought about this as well, but I guess I trust 'potential' more than what the modern dev team is capable of, there's a few UE5 projects out there that run extremely well and so I'm assuming it's really a matter of not having a filthy publisher breathing down my neck telling me we need to rush it and release it next week, and any hardship I'm met with will be sent away to astra or claude or whatever will be hype in six months time.I'd love to aim for steamdeck at 60 but seeing as it's a wannabe RTS, it might just be way too much for the CPU to handle (but that's also why I'm moving away from godot, I already pushed as many systems as I could on other threads but the main thread kept getting clogged by everything else). We'll just have to find out.I think I just scopecrept myself into wanting too much all at once, rather than keep the game small and simple, idk. I'll figure it out.

It's been a while, what did I miss for the past two years. Are the schizos gone? Me? I turned my life around so everything is good, thanks for asking.How's Cris?
>>583676269Like, do I need sound echoing for explosions far away? Most triple A games don't even do that shit.What about realistic turret clearance and weapons, are people going to be autistic enough about this sort of things to care? If they're an actual mechwarrior enjoyer probably, but most people..?What about ballistics even for long range weapons? Isn't the average gaymer happy enough with just a lobbed grenade and everything else should just be 'aim in general direct and press R2 xd' Do I need realistic momentum based crashes for vehicles and aircrafts? Why did I even add this? shouldn't it just be enough to have a random death animation playing, no matter how they die or how fast they were going when they did?Then I got fire spreading in liquid fashion from different weapons/equipment, I got smoke propagation and the AI can't see through it and keep shooting at last known position, I got cover systems for infantry and small vehicles that allow them to fuck with your targeting, added drones as well with EMP effects that cancel an enemy weapon's reload (resets it) on top of mini stunning, yadda yadda yaddaIt's probably too much? I don't know, I like depth, but is there a point at which it's just too much information and most people just want... something easy and simple?If they see a mech game and it's a strategy game, are they going to go in and expect autistic levels of details, or will they just want to shoot things and make them explode?It'll take a while but learning is a process after all.

>>583673054>per say
>>583677545You're right, but the drive is kinda different because these are explicitly multiplayer games, so you want to improve because that russian bitch that told you to get fucked did play better than you and so you need to learn how to fuck him up next time.I'm most likely going to add a multiplayer mode to the game, eventually, but it's not comparable, especially considering it'll mostly be 1v1, I don't even want to deal with servers, I'll just allow people to host their games and invite their friends and that'll be about it, I don't know, I wasn't thinking multiplayer should be the focus, I just started working on making sure the external part of the mechs 'make sense' as well 'just in case I turn it multiplayer' but this was probably another mistake, I should just make it full cockpit, full single player, and then potentially expand later if there's any demand for that.

So, since theatre of steel is being ported to UE (it'll probably take a few days of work at least), it means I get to focus on something else. I have three projects dear to my heart that I've been designing for a while:- Tower of the gods: Azure dreams. Literally azure dreams. Of course there's going to be additions, I'm going to take dark cloud's town creation system (tell people where they should live to make them happy, one doesn't like being close to the river, one hates the hospital, one hates this particular guy, yadda yadda), better MP system, a breeding system as well on top of fusions (for different types of trait inheritance), still roguelite turn based 2.5DHD adventure (I'll have to get an artist for the sprites, I'll handle the 3D low poly modeling) - Scav: What if GTFO, Tarkov and that VR walking dead game had a baby. You're on a prison ship, didn't do too much of the lore yet but you're potentially the last human alive in the universe, you find a clanker that helps you get out of the prison, you escape with it, now you gotta salvage your way... somewhere (didn't decide yet, probably 'home'). You get a breacher/shuttle, you breach random derelict ship (all humans are dead), you get in there to salvage what you can (mostly for ship and resource management purpose: crafting materials, fuel, this sort of thing), get data cores to improve the clanker (which serves as meta upgrades), but of course there's a threat: creep. Alien creep, unknown origin, probably what caused human extinction: it sucks the electricity out of everything to grow, grows enough and it creates nests that spawn creatures: you gotta survive. This is the gist of it, so FPS, dark, randomly generated levels, survival and resource management.
>>583681020this happens to artist too>practicing drawing>copy some ref from pinterest>it was AI>now you have AI art patterns infecting your skillset that might come out at anytime without warning
>>583681205- Isekai: stupid story, disgaea level of 'what if they made an isekai story', you're summoned as an evil pawn for an """"""evil""""" witch, but she's a retard. Akko level of retard. You die and resurrect as different breeds of monsters (that you unlock through the game), she meant to summon the most evil and powerful monster of all (a behemoth or something, idk) and she summons you as a stupid goblin or an imp or something. Physics based 3rd person combat, I'd call it SOULS like but let's be honest here, that might be pushing it. I have a billion ideas for other characters that allow you to grow more and more powerful, there's going to be romance and a bunch of shit, I really want to do a disgaea-like story, the gameplay is not even relevant here and this is mostly me wanting to write a story.
>>583681020>Now if you chop it up, rearrange the words, even paraphrase certain parts, as long as the user doesn't replace every trigram, the distribution within trigrams scattered throughout will still retain this distinctive statistical pattern.

>>583681020This is why its a meme. 90% of programmers are using AI knowingly and 100% are without knowing. Copy from stack overflow or a tutorial made in the past year? AIds. Using a plugin made or updated in the past year? AIds. Use a commercial engine? Oh you better believe you have AIds. Having AI code in your game is impossible to avoid unless you're writing literally everything from scratch.
>>583681791It's smart, look at europe not wanting AC for decades and what's happened these last couple years. >>583682008The current craze will die out when every game out there ends up using AI, it's just how these things go.The trannies aren't going to be able to keep up, or what, they'll buy all the games just to negatively review them? Okay, I'll take that deal, let's see who lasts longer.
using steamworks API? AIds
>>583681791Half of the retarded shit you read online is chinese/communist psyops. It's surprising that there's so many useful retards without independent thoughts as to fall for them.
We're in the back half of the gamejam week. How's it going? Are you making something that's MUY INTERESANTE?
>>583666341Aislopers like you are art blind so chances are everyone can tell your game is made with AI
>>583682395Antis like you keep moving the goalpost while not realizing how grim your future is, most people wouldn't tell this is obviously AI because most people are art blind, you're just autistic and you believe most people share the same brand of autism.>it can't even do consistent background xd>loool look at the fingers>omg that's not how ears work>bro what are these patterns>lol the colors don't make sense>that's not how brushes work>uhhhh no that's not real pixel art>no that's not how animations are made>no that's the wrong framerate>no this is too fluid>no this is obviously not how complex physics workWhat happens next?I can tell you what happens next, can you?
>>583652679>tell claude to download clean 5.6, diff your changes, and port them to 6.0 then upgrade your project>5 minutes later effortlessly continue working on your game
>>583682395>gptit's over when people catch on that claude can make pixel art. maybe that default claude style(basic color ramps, smooth motion, black 1px outlines, lots of dithering, dithered particle effects) will become associated with slop games by gamers in short time though.
>>583682939The same way each of the big boys have their own 'style', you can tell it's slop just by looking at it, but you can also tell which one is GPT, which one is grok, and which one is claude just by looking at it; this means it can easily be changed. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter that much to most people, if it did then cartoons wouldn't have been infested by the calarts style for so many years.
>>583682284I didn't join the jam because I needed to work on my real game.I didn't work on it much. It happened again. I think I'm genuinely embarrassed to be almost 30 yet my game looks so simple and crude. I still love it and want to release it, but working on it is starting to become a torture.
It is time to progress anon.
>>583680465one luddie down...
>>583670956>>583671216>>583671343It's because Steam Deck runs on Arch so all Steam Deck users are reported as Arch users.
>>583682284I'm making a battle system Then I'm making the gameIt's a little too ambitious for the jam so I think I'll need to hurry and make the battle system minimally functional so I can get to the actual game partI'm having a lot of fun though and I'll 100% be working on it after the jam
Anyone using elevenlabs or suno
>>583685148no. I can't let any player facing elements be AI. I just don't like it even if I like how it sounds. https://vocaroo.com/14ChvnnNG1Yh
>>583685148I used suno and mureka a little bit maybe six months ago, but I wasn't 'wowed' by the results, some were pretty interesting but it was hard to get the result I wanted, their systems to try to respect a melody for example were absolutely shit. Didn't try elevenlabs yet, is it for voice or for music?
>>583683686Sometimes you need a change of paceMy first project where I learned everything along the way is such a goddamn mess that it really fucking sucks to work with. Inefficient, hacky, huge full retard code chunks with endlessly deep nested if statements copied pasted on multiple parts, so if I want to change something I have to change 20 individual things instead of 1 thing shared via script.I love that game, I really do, but it is hell.Then I started a new game with what I learned and it was more refined.Then I started a newer game and it became beautifully efficient and clean.Let it go anon, try something new. You can always come back to it later.
>>583685148Use Fish Audio Pro S2 for speech. It's on the same level as elevenlabs but way cheaper.For music you're better off finetuning a local music model on the genre you want. minimax music 3 is pretty good. That or you give claude control of music making software.
>>583685148I'm looking for some speech to speech stuff and still haven't found it.Suno is okay, but nothing too incredible.
guys no. this is not the way. you're evil...
>>583685838>nooo be a crab like me, stay in my bucketloooool tranny meltie
>>583685974yeah that. stay in the bucket. there are seagulls out there
why would you sell your soul for something that might not even happen? you might as well keep your soul and make something you are actually proud of.
>>583685445its for music and sound effects

>why would you go and use a car to get those groceries, just go on foot, don't you want to enjoy nature? don't you want to have a healthier lifestyle? imagine the muscles you'll get and the weight you'll lose if you start going on foot every day instead of using a fridge, and how fresh the food will be then if you just buy it fresh every day!
>>583687512get a job faggort
>>583685148Yeshttps://vocaroo.com/1lVQxgXB9Axv
>why would you sell your soul for a job, wouldn't you be proud if you went and got your own food? go hunt, go gather some berries like your ancestors wanted you too
>>583687512I say that and I look like that.Fridges are okay though, my grandparents had a basement that was as cold as a fridge and they kept their perishables there. Modern society forced me in an apartment on the 8th floor instead of a farmland, so it's only fair they give me a fridge with it.I envy pomao who's raising his own beets.
>>583687698Why are you even entertaining the stupid chink/tranny/brownoid/russian bot trying to make white people fall behind technologically by appealing to their superior morals
>>583687860I'm glad you're enjoying life Anon.My point is more along the lines of: I don't give a fuck whether me using a tool or not affects your (royal your, not yours personally) emotional state, it's not my problem.>>583687982Because I'd bet his name is johnny and he's white and his parents are feeling like shit for letting him turn into an ideological trannoid, and it's not just a chink bot.
>>583687512this but unironically
lmao I was literally just quoting jon blow while listening to the ed x jon steam
>>583688072I think it's fair to not give a fuck about other people, but you using a tool *can* affect other people, in the same way people predominantly using cars affects the city building and indirectly everyone who lives there by extension.But it's either join the rat race or get left behind, so #yolo.
>>583688390The mindset of 'don't join the race because you'll hurt other people' has never worked and will never work. Not my problem, and it's not yours either, if not for other people hurting and wasting their lives in the mines, you wouldn't be using your computer right now.Do you think the energy you're using for your internet right now is free of suffering? People are either too retarded to care and thus their opinions are irrelevant, or they have to learn that they can't afford to care, in which case anyone spewing this sort of bullshit is either trying to sell you a product or trying to keep you from advancing. Grow the fuck up, stop being a child.
>>583688604>the sound makes my cat depressedtoxotranny
>>583688604Yeah it'll be the radio waves from the datacenter, and not the estrogen you're feeding your cat because you think he's a woman, that's what's going to make him depressed. Keep at it bro, rest in power!!!
>>583688813He's one of those dog moms who pretend their dog is vegan
>>583685584You are giving me wise advice, and everyone in my life who cares about me has told me the exact same thing: Take a break, hop projects, come back to it later. But my retard ass keeps pushing onwards, I already submitted the steam page for review. I know I'm under no obligation to release the game ASAP, but the longer I spend away from it, the less I will understand when I come back.
5 years after having a successful game today is the first time I had to check my bank account balance before going grocery shopping. it's a grim milestone that brought back very unpleasant memoriesI should have quit while I was ahead and looked for a job
>>583689375Sad to hear maybe this will cheer you up
that youtuber you were gonna email about playing your game? they are making their own game now and have a built in audience.
>>583686986>>583688639>>583688813this is a weird time to come into the threadguess rotate was here
>>583688612>Grow the fuck up, stop being a child.Calm down dude it's just text on a screen. I thought we were having a civil argument? I was explaining how what you consider to be an "optional tool" stops being optional when everyone else starts doing it.Like I would have liked to keep living on the countryside and grow my own farm, but when every other young person in my village moved to the city and we stopped having local farmer markets from lack of people, I was pretty much forced to move out as well, leaving behind only a bunch of stubborn elderly and empty houses. Now I live like a sardine in the big city. It's not about hurting other people, it's about these being races to the bottom that will end up worsening the life experiences for everyone involved long term, including your descendants. There's a reason European cities are appreciated for being walkable and not having to use a car everywhere.
>>583689637I got banned for offtopic posting in the past. I only talk about gamedevs here. gamedev. making games. I love making games.
>>583689962those euro cities have been around longer than cars have

>>583644534YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY AI 'GRESS IS CRAZYWE LIVE IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF GAMEDEV LITERALLY WAKING UP TO AMAZING GRESS EVERY DAYFUCK YES
>>583689375Your investments bro?
>>583689375I learned that the hard way too which is whenever I come in possession of more cash (temp gigs, making more money online etc) I always work part time instead of quitting. Part time at least covers rent so I spend less of my savings.
nobody cries about "soulless art" when a studio with 400 employees ships a reskinned sequel every year. but a broke dev uses AI for one sprite and it's a crime
>>583691841I'm going to be honest with you anon; why?Why would I play this over quake or unreal?
>>583693420I'm not catering to busted up 40yo uncs
we need a slur for people who don’t build anything
>>583693652KEKYPOW
>>583689962Sorry nonny, I was on my man period and lashed out at you. But I completely disagree with your overall assessment, because it's a lot more of a subjective matter than you might think.Advancing technology is cool.I don't care that there's less farmers needed, I don't care that it's a machine that's digging up my potatoes rather than some cheap mexican being paid a slave wage. Through all the suffering that we create through simply surviving, as first worlders, you get to enjoy life. If not for all the suffering, our lives would probably be nearly as shit as theirs. If not even shittier because they could've just invaded us and took over anyways, but that's another long subject.My point is that: the world isn't a simple scale of 0 to 10. You can't just associate something that you arbitrarily decided 'is bad' because you believe it is. It's obviously not, do you know why? Because I enjoy it.That's it, your argument is done, it's my feelings against yours, you call it a race to the bottom, I'm saying this is literally what video games needed to survive. You can keep your sloppa and your managed decline, I'll enjoy watching all the big companies burn to the ground, and I'll be making my games on the side and enjoying myself more than I've ever did in my life.That's all there is to it.
>>583692335may I see it?
>>583693652Okay, then how do you do that?Think about it more; what now?How do you cater to broccoli haired retards?Where are the waifus? Where's the ADHD? Why isn't there a bunch of shit blinking on screen? Where are the AI cats dancing in the sky?You can't say 'I'm not catering to uncs' and not have even installed tiktok, look up what's on the front page and tell me what you see, and tell me why a kid would want to play your game instead of using tiktok.
>>583694281I am adding a broccoli gun and a backup squad of cats in shower caps
>>583694428Good, keep at it, try to keep up with the popular memes, I mean look at that garbage game, whatever the fuck was it called, that 3D wannabe vampire survivor game...Ah, megabonk. Look at how trash it is: but there were memes and hype happened because memes and voila. That's how you get it.
>>583694560the guy you're replying to is not the devthe answer to your question is: I don't care "Why" lol we're making a game WE always wanted to play together but didnt exist. My friend group is entirely made of CS2 players who compete at a high level and weve just been slamming out features and changes to make it fun. if you dont like it, feel free to give me some ideas of what sucks about it

just saw the nortubel dude on newgrounds and it reminded me of my time here, its nice to see everyone is dooming as per usual. I don't mind trying my hand at game dev again but the gulf between my 2d art skillz and 3d stuff is a little too large so i wanna grind out on blender a bit first. The alternative would be using some free assets for 3d stuff but eventually I WOULD want to make my own stuff and I’m sure having to port over the animations to a new model will be a nightmare>>583674282kino reminds me of the first episode of gurren lagann>>583674124cool mech design, i always liked the ones that look more like vehicles than big dudes in armour
>>583695505Just say you don't have a game. Don't cope.
>>583695853Megabonk was absolute trash, bub, literally the kitchen sink of a million ideas that have nothing to do with one another, he added things and then never thought about integrating them better, wasted potential: the game.Whoever makes an actual 3D vampire survivor with smarter movement mechanics and characters that ACTUALLY play differently will win big money.>>583696028I don't know, it's getting there but I'm still not happy with any of the designs yet, it's missing something still, but maybe some better textures, some animations and some smoke and dirt and whatever will help, I'll figure it out.
>>583644534Hate to be the bringing of bad news but slowmodev who used to post his food blogposts about running out of money died last week, his brother posted on his twitter. F
>>583688936>I know I'm under no obligation to release the game ASAP, but the longer I spend away from it, the less I will understand when I come back.This is true, and something I'm going to be struggling with myselfI think the things I learned from doing different projects will help me be able to further refine and simplify things when I do

It's obviously not, do you know why? Because I enjoy it.I feel exactly the same way, word for word. You can't just associate any technological progress and its consequences as being "good". Why? Because I don't enjoy it. Much like how gasoline used to have lead, we need to approach new technologies with tempered reason and integrate them in a way that doesn't diminish the human experience, hence my European cities analogy where they still have cars, electricity, and 1st world living standards, without sacrificing trees and walkability. I guess we agree with each other after all, we just happen to be on the other side of the fence today, but any other day I'm sure we could be friends.

>>583706872he was probably a leftoid himself
might have found a potentially interesting style, inspired by Die Hard Trilogy and I guess pre-rendered sprites in general. final version would be billboarded and have multiple sprites for different angles could look weird if I add a neck since it might clip into it and fight it or look weird if you can see the polygonal neck cutting the head sprite off from the back, not sure. either way at low res it shouldn't be too much of an issue, and if anything it could add to any existing horror atmosphere, it creates a kind of Mona Lisa affect

>>583710214>Damn. How? Also do you have skeleton animation data made beforehand on which you apply the animation with?No, there's no pre-made animation data. It's actually really similar to how Dead Cells draws its characters, except they do it beforehand while i'm rendering it live. Behind the scenes everything is 3D, but its 2D in scene. For drawing the body I used a combination of distance functions, smooth minimum, and the 3d to 2d pipeline I mentioned earlier. For animation it's a bit more complicated, but the tldr is an IK solver. I started with Daniel Holden's Simple Two Joint IK (https://theorangeduck.com/page/simple-two-joint) and now I'm working on turning it into a full body IK.

https://x.com/wavedash/status/2101677106652704838do you thnk this platform will blow up like steam in the future? it feels like too "casual" and allowing shitting game which will mentally filter people for anything more serious, many gamercunts think of xemselves as "elite" and have the reddit "pc materrace" mindset so they wouldnt join a plarform like this am i wrong?
>>583714310How much time did you put so far?
>>583712924You have a weak mindset and are coping. You believe you can't make something of high quality so you don't even try. Retro throwback is entirely cope, many retro games had games that are of high artistic quality but people here do not try to recreate any of the good looking retro games. They think that making something low poly and with poorly made textures is oldschool and means their laziness will be excused rather than making an ambitious attempt at art and failing. You mention okami and wind waker but does your game aspire to that artistic quality? No it doesn't, because you're afraid of trying to even attempt that style because you don't think you can do it.And then you resort to insults because you're the type of person who is set in their ways and refuse to ever listen to anyone else or take advice or change even when I'm telling you to rise out of mediocrity.Stupid nigger trash, I fucking hate lazy worthless dogs like you. You're never going to make it.
>>583714660No, there are dozens of sites for aislopped games now and there’s no way to tell which if any will be successful. The one backed by the Epstein class is Sekai so they’re pretty likely.
>>583715039sekai?
permission to add black women to my game?
>>583715736post an example of one and i'll decide
>>583714918you arrogantly and mistakenly believe you know more about my art and artistic journey than I do >many retro games had games that are of high artistic quality but people here do not try to recreate any of the good looking retro gamesso full of shit it's unreal. there are a ton of retro games that look like dogshit and can be easily surpassed by nearly anyone, but even putting that aside, nobody takes inspiration from things they think are shit. of course people take inspiration from and try to recreate the quality of the retro games they think are good, it's just that their ability is lacking compared to their taste. countless people take inspiration from the cream of the crop stuff like Silent Hill or Vagrant Story or insert PS1 game here, but few are able to match it because one amateur solo dev isn't able to meet the quality of an entire team of seasoned professional artistsI suppose you can go above and beyond those expert artists from back in their prime though, since you're obviously some kind of demigod art master on a plane above all us plebs
>>583697039>Was only 3 months older than meDamn I'm already one foot in the grave huh.
>>583644724Now I just need a game to go with it
>>583697039I checked the previous thread and he hasn't posted in a week. rip mate. I will eat a banana in your honor
>>583716743>"an amateur solodev can't make good art"yes they can, they just need to actually practice art so they get the tools required for making stuff.i was dogshit at art but have practiced for years until i got good at it. do you think people at big studios or those who made amazing games just were born like that? of course you can always be better and at some point you do need to make stuff, but what I am saying is that people here do not actually try to practice at all. you just open blender and try to make something that looks like your inspiration and then say "good enough". this is fundamentally no different from cris who refuses to learn properly.

Progress:Reached the point of my new game where I need to make assets, so I started a new side project instead of finishing my game('s POC).
i don't like weight painting
Am I stupid if I release my game in January? (After Steam winter sale)
>>583717809Real
>>583717870make your models segmented PSX style.
>>583717893Yes, either release next month or in March.If you haven't released right now you want to wait until early January to submit to the next Steam Next Fest and reap some wish lists during February. March and November are the only two times of the year where it makes sense to release a game for indies.
>>583718020be careful Anon, the art police might not be too happy with this
>>583674750I watched this live. It was pretty interesting. This was supposed to be a stream of Edmund playing OotSS for 50 minutes and then Jon playing Mewgenics for 40 minutes, but instead Jon showed off some of the game in debug mode and they talked about random gamedev stuff. Apparently, Edmund played an early version of Jon secret next game, and it inspired some aspects of Mewgenics.
>>583717809Getting close to having to make assets. Still stick on UI design and implementation
>>583718105I dunno about that, I have a list with 500 successful indie games and their release months, and a lot of people found success in February.
>>583718020i'm unironically about to devolve into lowpoly slop for character models
>>583718492>comparing the release of your low effort slop to top sellers of the decade and genre defining pioneers
>>583718492I'd like to see this list correlated with virginity/wizardry status
>>583718492>>583718105To add to this, November DOES seem to have the biggest number of successful games, 14% according to my file, with December being the worst at 3%, but this year's November is out of the question probably because of GTA6.
>>583719660as if consoletards would buy my autism simulator if only they didn't have GTA VI to play. it's coming to Steam probably in late 2027
I need something like a gaming framework, that is easy as gdevelop, but is as lighteight as SDL, but also that is on a modern easy to use language and that can easily compile to html5, android, windows and linux.
>>583719841I'd be more worried about any attempts at viral marketing of your game being snuffed out by extremely loud and constant GTA6 discourse. Any kind of tiktok video or youtube short or fanart or tweets would get drowned by the funneling machines of GTA6 content. It's kinda like a storm coming and it's better to take cover and wait out for a month.

increased supply + same demand = lower value
>>583721816>>583721987At this point the only reason to do it is for love of the craft. No one will ever play your game let alone buy it. The only reason to make it is for your own enjoyment of making it.
>>583721816I will make an AI influencer to shill agdg games
>>583702698getting tired enough made my brain relax, free the anxiety and ready to work. the internal conflict is clear and troublesome.It's the same free flow as flow state, or being drunk to the right degree of freedom, or perhaps drugs. I'm sure there's a way to get this consistently but it isn't accessible to me. not the drugs way.
Maybe porting to UE5 is not the way, it seems to take ages to make any significant progress...I mean, it's insane progress for a human, but compared to how fast shit was going with godot...Maybe I could try unity too and it could be a middle ground?Or just a custom engine at this point.

>>583728454>>583645079https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijqbq9nfUX4at least one of you watched this and forgot. anyways, it's a better game than whatever you'd make.
>>583645079Go the next level and just make an Ind*a Driving Simulator, re-theme it so jeets don't seethe, but allude to it being about Ind*a
>>583729231distracted anon i've never seen this before and i really like the look of it. But a game where you just drive around trying not to wreck your car as you gamble sticking more machines in your car and you can only gamble while looking at it also maybe you improve your luck by drinking booze and smoking weed making you worse at driving. a high score generator.
>>583729680sounds antifun and the game I linked is literally 'distracted driver'-but more appealing in an absurd exaggarated funny way than putting cloverpit in a bus
>>583645079>>583728454Honestly, 'kick streamer driving' could be a thing, where you got a chat to entertain and so you have to create chaos by driving around and film it with your phone, evade police, etc
After much thought, I have decided to drop down my current game engine, Cocos Creator, and migrate to Defold. Cocos was historically strong at 2D, but today it seems even abandoned compared to 3D. Also, the lack of any meaningful community outside China is tough. So I am going back to my roots. I think it has been 4 years or more since the last time I used Defold, it seems to have matured a lot. Goodbye, TypeScript, and welcome back, my sweet Lua.
>>583731059thank you for the update, keep us posted
>>583732658Expect great things from me, anon-kun. Great things.
>>583702471>I only have 3 years to make itno....
I gave Gemini Flash a screenshot of my game and asked it to make a mockup with a nicer UI. it recreated my game in html and added controls to toggle UI variants.humans have no business making games in 2026 and beyond
what do you think of publishing your demo on itch io
>>583734497What is there to think about? You gotta publish it somewhere
>>583734497it was standard indie practice before devs started putting everything they make on steam
>>583734457This is true for what we currently consider a game. with this new power, we must tackle bigger problems. all current games are quaint.
>>5837344970 views, 0 downloads after 2 years.
>>583734497depends why? are you making a game with the added hope that it could make you some cash?I thought about doing it, and have a webbuild ready, but I heard there was basically no point if you game is on steam ans itch plays basically don't convert to wishlists even with a button in your game. people play games on itch because they want to play free games? or at best are other devs who want to support you. maybe if you hit the front page for a month it would help a little.
ideabros have access to ai. i expect them to make a new full-fledged game every month desu...
>>583735463wait til next year (2 more weeks). right now you only get demos. ideabros don't have it in them to prompt the rest of the game.
>>583735240my fear
>>583736116my realityImagine putting a lot of work into a game and this is what you get. No idea how to move on from this and I'm unsure of what the future holds for me as a game dev.
>>583736397I'm sorry bro, maybe rework on the art or take better screenshots. you can also try to delete the page and start a new one
okay, I think I should begin my journey of remaking videogames by their historical chronology to learn raylib, starting with pong and tenis for 2 and spacewar and asteroids.
I have a theory that the real cris was killed by the cartel 3 years ago and what we have now is a bot
>>583736397a steam festival got me 200 demo players, around 10 made videos(just randomly). worth a try. any festivals match your game coming up?
>>583736637You shouldn't do that, you already know how to make basic 2D games, go pick up one of your old games like the sheriff one and add something new to it
>>583736637are you ever gonna break out of the sub-loop training arc purgatory?
>>583737287how many wishlists did you get
>>583737287Yeah it's a horror game I'm making for halloween season but my game is not on steam and I missed the steam demo fest deadline
>>583737536I cant make my dream games if I can't make first tetris and pong.
>>583644724Working on figuring out how rigging and animating works so I can get out of asset hell
>>583737549+126
>>583737947damn... did you make enough money?
>>583737824sick.
>>583662914Just punch through with the first thing that comes to your mind. It's a prototype anyways, for all you know, none of the initial assets might survive future revisions anyways.
When I'm done with this game, I have such a good idea for the next one. And it will actually be marketable too.
>>583738182this was after 2 months of dev, with the expectation I was going to be finished in another 2. I don't think I will make money, but I did make people smile and laugh so I am satisfied
>>583738464very cute
>>583668038Someone mentioned that using rainbow tubes or pipes as placeholder is enough to trick it as long as there's no fluid ejection involved.
we are living in an era in which every single idea guy has access to tools straight out of science fiction. they can just describe their ideas to their computer, absolutely no effort beyond that and it will turn their ideas into something and it is somehow STILL not enough.nothing will EVER be enough because even just properly working out your idea requires effort and it will always be easier to daydream about success and telling people about your vague idea of an idea than to actually WORK. remember those "ai artists" from two or three years back trying to convince everyone that ai art is art and that their "prompting" is a real skill?they're almost all gone, they all moved to something else because they got BORED. their prompting lost its novelty. same thing will happen with these ai idea guys who are "one shotting" their games and making unplayable garbage that will never amount to anything. they will be gone too.
>>583685148Good as long as the output is not a 1:1 copy of something well known. Then you are fucked if you don't catch it.
>>583738570ask claude for a geoduck simulator
>but bro I worked really hard on it for like years>okay maybe it's still shit and of course I wasn't even thinking 'why would anyone ever want to play this' while making it, but like, you know?? I worked hard on it so just, like, buy it or something!!nothing has changed, and nothing will ever change
>>583738648my issue with oneshotting games is that is too easy, and therefore the game feels worthless.
>>583698831Wuthering Waves model copy tutorials on YouTube.I am not joking. And no i doubt you will get that good first try but it will be enough to learn how 2 low poly poor human-like models which is enough for most simple projects.
>>583709031Progress cannot be halted.
>>583739062Oneshot is a great game though
>>583644724>design requires manually creating many buttons>try to dynamically handle it>oops it requires this one thing that must be manually addedIf I go through the trouble of dynamically handling it I must create variables that handle this data and I must adjust code for it to know which data is relevant. Or I can go back to the manual method of creating all these buttons and simply attach the correct thing.AIEEEEEEEEEE! Automatic or manual both methods will be a hassle!!!! Why even waste my time with it being handled dynamically when I end up having to do a different part manually? I may as well just do it manually from the start, both methods are a hassle. The first is more tedious but once done is done. The latter has more odds of a simple mistake creating a bug until I stumble upon it.
>>583737665October 26 is Steam Scream V Fest. your demo would be eligible. might not have time to sign up and be verified, but technically possible to make it in time if the stars align.
>>583739536make your data you need to use, loaded from a JSON.The you can ask an LLM to generate or edit it.
damn you niggas are even more depressed than usual
>>583738648I know an idea guy who has a 50k word doc planning a game. he's vehemently against AI and has not even downloaded an engine
>>583739845bro we just found out one of us died.
>>583738648>same thing will happen with these ai idea guys who are "one shotting" their games and making unplayable garbage that will never amount to anything.It's extremely obvious that every grifter on twitter showing how they wasted $3000 bucks to prompt a "real game" and show how good AI is now don't actually play games. They are literally larping what they think games look like because of either what they saw on youtube or what they remember of that time their parents bought them a PS1 when they were a kid.With that said, when they are all gone the technology will still be there to be used by real devs, especially those good enough to use without being noticed
>>583713139i love how this post equates the v3 discord with /agdg/there is no /agdg/ discord, there is a liqcord, a steamchat cord and various discord for yesdevs with secret agdg channels and none of them represent the thread, only themselves and their friends, tranny betz
>>583739704Kek, funny you say JSON since most of the data is loaded from a CSV file. In either method there is one piece of data that must be added from within the engine, CSV or JSON won't work for this Cris. I either create the buttons manually and simply attach it. Or I create a convoluted method by which I add the manually handled data to an array which it will then automatically attach as needed to the dynamically handled data.
>>583741315Can't you just fucking ask an AI? I'm not even telling you to copypaste whatever it will output. I mean just asking if it might know the most efficient or simple way to do it, if it knows at all.
>>583736397grim, grim
>>583741315how bout making a python script to generate the data.
what are some games that have an incredibly small amount of assets but still manage to have dozens of hours of content.
>>583738648This is why I decided against trying to make one of those ai gaming sites. People generally do not want to make things, period.
>>583741530any action or puzzle game can be that
Itch.io is pointless because you wont get promoted and all the marketing is let to the dev to do so.At least crazy games and Steam promote your shit to players.>>583741530ascii roguelikes or roguelikes with a tileset.

>>583741625>Steam promote your shit to players.about that cris...
>>583739995Bruh, how difficult is it for one nigga to just make a braindead walking simulator with a bunch of poorly made cgs or just walls of text?
>>583740186That's already happening now and accelerating. A youtuber I watch on rare occassion, some funny guy, ends up being a programmer and posted a vid admitting AI wonned in the sense that if you don't use it, then you will fall behind. He probably even lurks here. It's the second non gamedev youtuber I suspect is secretely a gamedev. In short he ended up stating there is a right way and wrong way of using it, he has come to the same conclusion as some of us have but simply don't say anything so as to gatekeep it for as long as possible. However since he obviously has nothing to lose (likely a good salary and big bucks from youtube) he is going to post vids explaining how to use it. Fuck me, unlike the useless "hahaha we can 1 shot a complete game in a single prompt" this guy is actually useful and about to teach hundreds of thousands/million how to use AI the right way.
I want to include random lines from famous games in my own game. Things like>The cake is a lie>It's a secret to everybody>Kept you waiting, huh?Will I get a C&D for this?
>>583742392no, but you still shouldn't do that because references or homages should be respectfully subtle, not marvel-tier
>>583697039who? can someone repost one of his posts I cant remember
>>583742580he used to post his food and say that he's running out of money in x days daily and owes his game x amount of hours because he didn't dev that day, EU hours poster
>>583742060turnbased rpg most of the doc is combat related
>>583742698sounds like one of those nodev fucking retards that plague the thread
I managed to export my game to web so maybe some of you will finally play it. https://innocentgames.itch.io/warden-the-vigilSwitching to a new scene for the first time takes a second. I didn't fully test the web build so it might be buggy.If any of you play it please let me know what you think
>>583742392The cake is a lie is a bit in the nose but if you can make them fit in natural conversation go for it, just dont force it like borderlands or something
I hope the reports of his death are greatly exaggerated. we had similar timelines and the same bananas, I felt connected to his posts.
>>583742983but will i get a C&D for it tho?
>>583743076They probably are and the guy just found some kid who died and used his memorial to get the attention and validation he craved from his blogposts. Probably a big mistake to believe anything you see on an imageboard.
>>583742392If your game has absurd monsters, making a fake cake monster alas food mimic would be a much more tasteful homage.
>>583743179Lmao no dawg, let her rip
>>583741413It says the first method is better. Only one alternative but that too is a hassle and liable to break from updates.>>583741438Nah can't avoid it like that.Ugh this is gonna be such a hassle.
>>583743406>but that too is a hassle and liable to break from updatesRetard, you are dev, fixing that is your fucking job.
>>583743406What ai did you ask? I mentioned something like this once to one and i got a solid answer.
this reminds me when boku refused to learned c# and insisted on bruteforcing everything.what a flat circle
>>583743292first time you're experiencing losing someone who posted in the same online space as you? hope you feel better bro
brooooossss....wtf, I just realize I can translate Scrapped Princess using an AI agent into english by making so each japanese word has in parenthesis the hiragana reading and the english translation of the word.
>>583742832I purified the rocking chair. couldn't figure out anything else. cool concept, but, maybe not for me? I can't remember shit, if there was something changing noticeably idk. bug: the wax stamp covered some text at the start in fullscreen on a 1680 x 1050 monitor
>>583744012cris your dementia is getting worse, a few years ago it would take you a few days to switch from one delusional day dream to the other, now you're switching every day and sometimes multiple times per day, get your brain scanned
>>583743910I'm just trying to be realistic. I don't understand the post as I don't understand german but how did he even die? Seems like a regular guy with a good car and a family that cares for him.
>>583709827>>583709905it's real; he was postan in the discord for an already released aggy game. the food blogposter born '95 will never again post in aggydaggy.reminder to all gamedevs to eat a healthy diet and stretch often.
>>583744194>he doesn't have AI psicosisngmi
>>583744219life is short and he had a shitty lifestyle, he's not the first aggy to die either
>>583744128Thanks for the feedback. A round lasts 24 minutes so you'd see many more changes over the course of a game, some of them obvious, some not. I understand it's not for everyone, I just wanted to make a cool short game.
>>583744012>>583744406based cris
>>583744404How did his discord know he died?
>>583744219>>583744404he posted a pic of his breakfast it was seven fucking donuts dude was a outlier
>>583744506early on I thought maybe switching camera was going to 'reroll' rooms or something. so I would switch around fast hoping to spot the difference.
>>583742024Every one of steams recommendation algorithms has the same problem. It weighs games you played 15 years ago as much as games you're playing today so its like>Oh you played Gmod and L4d2 like 80% of steam? >Even though you only play strategy games now you must want the latest friendslop :3
>>583744734Family member posted his obituary
god if Rigify didn't exist I think I would fucking kill myself
>>583744770Interesting. I guess I should explain it better somehow in the start screens but I'm not sure how.
>>583744851It'd be like youtube recommending you MrBeast Gaming non-stop because you liked a Pewdiepie video in 2012
>>583744891They knew he was posting donut blogposts on the internet? Why didn't they post the obit here? Fuck them
>>583744404I'm terrified of dying. Major reason being a certain thought frequently creeps in>I'm saved right???
>>583744891His family member went on to his game dev discord and posted to everyone his obituary? Yeah I'm not entirely sure I buy any of that, classic fake-your-own-death move but I'm not gonna argue because I don't like joking around with this.
>>583744964kanna...
>>583744964That feels complete though.
>>583745605>>583745706you shouldve died, not the german food poster
>>583745229>>583745325nta but he was a regular in the Tower of Kalemonvo (older agdg game already published on Steam) disc*rd, some people knew him well enough, so when family posted his obituary online it eventually became known.e.g. imagine cris hadn't posted any dumb cats or new ai workflows in 1 week and then you find his family posted an obituary... but not actually since cris lives a healthy life and will eventually become immortal by merging with ai.*could* also be a paranoid schizoprhenic trying to exit this online sphere forever by using a fake account he's been seeding for just such an occasion to post a fake obituary about his own fake identity dying.
>>583745058I tried again. failed a couple of times trying to purify a red pentagram overlay thing, as an image and camera distortion. didn't bother me much but idk ritual I thought would be more 'in scene' rather than a 2d symbol. I got the chair shifted, the extra wine glass on the barrel, the missing clock in the cellar on the left, and missing red phone. I now also realize in my first time there must have been a missing umbrella, since I thought there was an extra one this time, but it failed.
>>583744012if you are actually interested in translating japanese games using AI i'd recommend checking out MAO tl's git because he's successfully translated several fuckhuge visual novels already.
>>583747369Maybe, my goal is to consume japanese without the need of having to use a dictionary for every word.
>>583746295a year a go or so cris didn't post for 2 weeks. what a scary time that was.
>>583747340Thanks so much for playing. The red pentagram overlay should be camera distortion. My concern is that there might be too many "types" of anomalies and that might be confusing to some. My playtester just spammed purifies so I added a 10% to spawn a new anomaly whenever you od.
>>583747551I can do this. but I did lose interest in a lot of japanese media once I knew the real dialog. the localizations were often better written. (trannylations aside)
>>583697039Oh he was actually german.. I remember once asking him in a thread if hes german because i saw him eating the same sweets id sometimes see in the grocery stores, but he never replied to me.WIth such a name it only makes sense that all the time for the game is verschwendet.
>>583747758oh maybe it was camera. I tried all 3 and my memory is so bad. I was tempted to spam.
>>583747785japanese writers suck, because they're not writing literature but anime waifu porn.It's like going to Xvideos and expecting shakespearean or nabokov shit.
>>583747551that goal is already mostly there.picrel is Quof (japanese speaker & longtime translator) posting his impressions of one of MAO's recent game tls that was 100% agentic.
>>583748084I still wanna learn japanese, even if AI can translate better than me.
Still working on Snow textures.At least it's starting to look good.
>>583748207alr based, i am training handwriting code every day despite being gigamogged by claude anyway, it's still always benefitial to know more even if you plan on "corowking" with a clanker in some field.
>>583748728the issue with AI is letting your non AI skills rot, rather than using AI to help you improve your non AI skills.

Is s&box worthwhile if I just want to create some worlds from my sketchbook and paintings in 3D to explore and make lightly interactive? No intention of publishing anything. It looks like a good approach into Source 2 and I'm sad I missed out on gmod and Source mapping and modding in general so I thought S2 would be fun but I see there's a lot of controversy around the platform.
>>583748948No, I'm trying to keep the graphics simple and as close as possible to fifth gen era consoles.
>>583749716I don't see why you'd make it in s&box instead of just directly into any game engine. it's very easy to build scenes in most game engines.
>>583749745i'll try you game on 5th gen era hardware and base the review on that then :)jk
>>583749716if your intention is "i want to use the same tooling valve does" it's not really that since garry decided to take the different tech they'd used for their s2 games so far and just kinda made a weird chimera. it has hammer 2 level editor tho which is good. many 2026 indie devs still cope with older tech like trenchbroom or hammer 1 integration with their engine of choice.
>>583750323I don't see the point of unity for a breakout game.It's much better to use raylib for that.
>>583750525notice how he has a game thoughbig difference
No one in agdg is trying to capitalize on all the new owners who just got their Steam Fame(s) and are just drifting through the store hitting F5 for any new VR experience?
>hey your game made me motion sick, fix ityeah im good on VR dev
>>583750525Unity is the engine I'm the most accustomed to and supports basically everything so I've decided to stick with it. I've tried godot and game maker but they didn't click with me at all. I haven't tried frameworks like raylib or monogame though. So maybe i'll give them a try in the future.
>>583750645unity is a bad engine.>>583751037raylib with a high level wrapper, feels like enginedev but without the drag of low level C++ or C autismo.Raylib and Nim are amazing, and they generate a 2MB binary.Most raylib commands are a singe line like LoadTexture, so is very easy to use.
>>583751182>a high level wrapper, feels like enginedevlol, cris, sometimes you just string together words without any idea what they mean.
>>583751182Hey Cris why don't you post a game
the problem with vr dev is you have to compete with vr chat which already lets all the weirdos run around as big breasted anime girls or muscular furries while they jump from game lobby to game lobby.good luck getting them to play your vr indie when they'd rather literally just stare at their anime agp avatar in a mirror for 8 hours a day.
I finished the East Natural Forest enemies (aside from an optional boss that won't show until revisits).Here you can see some combat against Lelis (pic related) and Nightsteps:https://files.catbox.moe/j2thfj.mp4
>>583751287there's not practical diference between SDL and C and raylib and Nim.>>583751316I posted a vibe coded tournament of npcs some hours ago.
>>583751357Not to mention super high quality VR mods for games are coming out daily. Unironically why would I play a VR tech demo made for the quest when I can play STALKER, Bioshock, Black Ops, Half Life 2, Halo, and L4D2 in VR with full motion controls?
>>583750792there's a recessionnobody is buying a steam frame
>>583751816*so many are buying it that they have to do a lottery that gets you into a queue and even then some of those are still waiting since queueing from day1
>>583752116nigga they sold like five stop the cap
>>583752116Realistically Valve probably made like 10,000 of them though.

>>583752419take the sokol pill
>>583752419reminds me of GLFWhttps://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1201
>>583751567How are any game developers going to compete with total conversion mods now that it takes like two seconds and a couple hundred dollars to turn any AAA game into your dream game?
>why would anyone keep watching new movies or listening new music when there are plenty of them already available?
>>583753205because minecraft inside of Mario 64 on the skateboard of Tony Hawk inside Vice City is not interesting and already tired
>>583753806>>583753946But most indie games are just>Old game but with a twistVery few are actually original.
>>583754079yeah, but indie devs aren't pretending they solved video games
>>583753806this but unironically, all my downloaded albums range from 80-2010s and i've watched 0 movies made after 2020. also i almost exclusively play old shit on steam i bought on a summer sale years ago and have enough games to do that until i die.selling new things is an uphill battle you are fighting all media ever made.

>>583756603you ludlost buddy
how do you prevent people from 'AI Pirating' your game?
>>583757492Its already illegal to reverse engineer a game while having access to the original codebase and AI is essentially doing that. When an AI reverse engineers something its not a clean room reverse engineering.However AI already violates every IP law so nothing will be done.Maybe if the big guys in the industry sue over it.
>>583758440>Maybe if the big guys in the industry sue over it.They won't and its going to be funny as fuck because AI will ultimately kill their products. Why would you pay monthly for photoshop when AI can make a personalized photoshop for you with all the same features and compatibility with all the existing tools and workflows for a single time $20 fee?
AI is insane. it custom coded every shader and generated every texture and procedurally generated an entire spherical voxel planet. it just keeps improving on it by the hour

why are gamercattle such rapeable goyimwhy are the only things they do with a literal magic box:>what if mario but he sonic?>what if mario but he minecraft?>what if skate but he counter-strike?>what is sonic but he mario?
>>583760050fr gamers are cattle unlike us indie devsnow please excuse me while I go work on my newest game 'Doom but you play as a suicidal lesbian'
AI reverse engineering is genuine creepy to watch in real-time:>hook it up to game, give it access to play as a human would>needs to find a specific flag with no clues>nothing immediate, begins diagnosis>spam opens the pause menu 7 times>saves 980000 flags>walks 1 step forward, reopens pause menu, closes it, walks forward 1 step>repeats it 30-ish times within seconds>suddenly its narrowed it down to 6 flags>deduces the 1 correct flag by reasoning through process of elimination without any further testing2026 and it's already this good; imagine 2030 and beyond. I am cumming. All my favorite games can be decompiled and then I can continue developing them on my own exactly as I wanted to do when I was 12.
>>583758828Theres no way Nintendo won't sue eventually if someone keeps doing it to switch 2 games. I can imagine suiting up a lawyer in these early days of AI copyright laws you might make a lot of money being the early cases where bad actors weren't afraid to reverse engineer your game and release it because its so early and they are cocky right now; in the future after lawsuits by AAA devs they might be too scared to be so gun hoe at it.

It's not truly rich, at least where I am, but it is enough that the anxiety surrounding work would drop. I wonder how development of my game would progress if I suddenly had $1m. Without the worries I'd probably start practicing art though at the same time I want to release this game fast since it feels like I'm going to have a lot of competition soon.

>>583773458Same. We just have to continue trying.. What was the reason you lost yours? Mine was that somebody called my art generic and i asked the ai how original my characters and art are, just for it to give me a 3/10.
>>583697039I remember seeing himStandout thread btw
>>583644534Woosh, you have been granted one wish of the following, which do you pick?>1. All gaming platforms raise their entry fee to a non refundable $10000>2. AI is sealed away for 10 years before it comes back>3. Social media (xitter, youtube, instagram, reddit, etc) is banned for 5 years.>4. Your art, coding, and sound skills improve instantly by 2% of their current level>5. You get $1000
>>583745310I just accepted that I will be gone before I am 30, it was decided the day I was born and I am powerless to stop it, ironically, because physical stats are the only thing I got going on (its wholly worthless)
>>583774128>2. AI is sealed away for 10 years before it comes backthis. I wish this. I am addicted to claude and am not improving at anything. I stood out as a good programmer before. I forgetted how to pro grams.

>>583773792I failed to string up "concept" art for the menus, I put that to the side and then the same thing happened with enemy and player character designs (mostly mechs, like horizon zero dawn (not a 3d dev btw lol lmao)). I say "concept" because it would actually most likely be the final version btw
>>583774806Yeah it takes an afternoon and one or two inefficient/unnecessary systems for programming skills to come back lolJust ask ai for help with api shit you dont remember
>>583774962Ah rip.. Have you at least been drawing other stuff outside of your game? I hope so at least.Concept design is way harder than drawing something somewhat decent in my opinion.Wish you the best of luck with getting back on your feet.

>>583777627No, I legitimately tried this yesterday with rotoscoping fox videos and they fucking sucked. And for some reason Claude felt the need to do cost estimates and they were $2-5 each if I’d been paying per token.Like they technically sort of looked like the video but they were super stiff, like a junior’s first few tries at animation.As long as what you’re animating is humanoid just use mocap.

Fuck, the Malfoid trend is already 3 days old and still going. I should’ve started working on some 3D fanart when it was fresh to capitalize on it and get some eyes on my dev account.Maybe I still have time to make something...
>>583778501Spooky.This is going to seem out of nowhere, but you should put in a Heritage of the Sea reference at some point. It’s dusty and busted now, but there’s a whole generation of people around 25-45 within a 200km radius of Wisconsin that were traumatized by it, and will spread around any reference to it online, because it’s like a core memory that never gets referenced because most media people aren’t from the Midwest.It’s so big in such a small room that I can’t even find an image that shows the entire thing at once; if you’ve never been you’d have to look up a video. It’s like this Godzilla vs Kong thing, but with this fantastical carnivore version of a gigantic sperm whale fighting a kraken, with a tiny fisherman on a boat caught buffeted between them. The staircase/tour path forces you to walk by their eyes, both of which are way bigger than a child. Legit if you ever meet someone from the Midwest, ask them about it and watch them get a 1000-yard stare and tell you about how scary walking past the eye was.It’s one of those things that will mean nothing to most people but the people that recognize it will be like moths to a flame.

The final ocean is going to be murkier this is justa test map, he'll be much further out too. Might make it so it only patrols near the surface during the night or storms otherwise he'll stay deeper and you'll only run into him if you're diving in. Was thinking about putting like a sunken military vessel or something similar near his patrol location which would be full of end game gear. That or have him patrolling near a big oilrig that you can reclaim. Not sure yet. >>583780010Thanks! Actual enemy but a very difficult one to fight.
