Can an entire /3/ rival an AAA studio if it were to collaborate together on a full shipped game? If we were to count the population of this board, we would end up with around 100-150 chuds. Enough manpower of 3D artists and project managers to attempt a try to collaborate together on a high quality game project, since AAA games are obviously bad, made by jeets and the bar to pass is extremely low.

/3/'s theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZYCyn0-LnY

There's like 15 regular posters here and most of them do not 3d model.

I tried

I'm still trying.

You realize that half of us are like full spectrum psychopaths? How on earth do you envision we would ever work together on any sort of coherent vision.

Even if we somehow assembled what we'd end up making would've been some kind of abomination that never should've existed in this world.

>>1015338
Youre very optimistic. 5 out of 6 /3/ users have just ghosted me. If anyone could "make some kind of abomination that never should've existed in this world" theyd make millions of dollars.

Where is OP? Post in your own fucking thread why dont you?

>>1015311 (OP)
hmm. yeah probably? we only need one guy to write shaders for the engine and everything else is just modelling texturing rigging and animating, right?

AAA games arent that fancily animated and complex models are just a matter of time so if that one shader guy can carry us we'd be okay

>>1015362
/3/ has a chance at beating MindsEye. Unironically.

>>1015362

Anon...

>>1015366
Heres the thing
Im kind of shit at everything, but i CAN rig and model and texture and animate. With an unlimited budget i can make something that looks good eventually. The edge flow will be ass and the keyframes will be all over the place, but to match a AAA studio it really just needs to import and run.

If i think about, say, the new god of war, the parts that make it fancy are just the ammount of work, and the particles and shaders. The animations and models really arent that special. If we have just one person who can do that stuff then the relatively useless people like me can do the grunt work, and that should get us most of the way there

>>1015311 (OP)
people who hang out around here are not disciplined enough and long enough to create anything of significance

also AI

>>1015311 (OP)
>an entire /3/
we're like 10 people bro... and 30% of those are dekinais like myself who are interested in the technical details around 3D but have not dared to start creating anything yet (and maybe never will)

>>1015311 (OP)
What software would we use to make the assets, Blender?

>>1015461
All of them. In the end it's gotta export to what the engine wants. It's not 1999 anymore. Every software can export to every type now.

So I actually have a project started just this week. I tried to recruit a few anons in the wip thread. I got 1 polite refusal. 1 ghost, and 1 taker. The project is degenerate. An anthro futanari fast food service game. Gonna need models of characters, costumes, animations. Also models food, appliances, furniture, architecture. Workplace safety posters that have clever jokes written on them.

Click it. Talk to me. I'm not going to refuse anyone based on ability or even level of commitment.

>>1015462
Why are Blender cultists always lying?!

can /3/ beat MindsEye? surely its a low bar to pass.

>>1015465
I DEFY YOU
I DEFY YOU
I do NOT use blender. I use Maya, like a grown up. I'm just trying to be diplomatic here.

>>1015466
>MindsEye
It took a lot of artistic skill to take face scans of professional models and then ugly them up for DEI approval.

>>1015463
Sorry, I would have been interested 6 months ago but my freelancing work is really starting to take off and I might not get another opportunity. I can't afford to get sidetracked.

>>1015463
Im not a furry, but i am extremely bored. what engine, what filetype do you want, what kinds of foods?

I am not and will never join a discord posted on 4chan

>>1015490
I hear you, I frankly am yielding to the changing times by using discord at all. I would prefer forum based communication.
The engine is unity
My current food list is:
>List of meshes needed for food objects
>Some items have multiple states. some common states are: Frozen, Raw, Cooked, Burnt, Rotten, Melted, and possibly unique states.
>Most states can be and should be achieved with a texture swap. If an item has states they will be listed.
>
>Churro: frozen, raw, cooked, burnt
>hotdog: frozen, raw, cooked, burnt
>HotdogBun: Empty, w / Dog, w / Ingredients(ketchup, mustard, relish, onions)((separate meshes that can be turned off, or layered shader))
>ice cream(in a cup): frozen, melted
>Beer bottle: Cold, warm, empty, broken
>MilkJug: Cold, warm, rotten, empty
>Soda Cup: Empty(no top), full / cold, full / warm
>
>TakeOutContainer: open, closed

>>1015494
its a shame you want it to be all textures, the dog wont have it's slimy coating

>>1015552
Texture swap, material swap. It's fine any which way. The way I have the soda cup game object I just have a cup mesh, lid mesh, and a straw mesh. I reuse the meshes for the empty, full Cold, and full Warm states.
Sneaking sexual jokes into the food design and/or labeling is encouraged.

>AAA ?
No and not worth it I think
>Good enough to be fun ?
Surely if enough people here playtest it.
Why not set an itch.io page too so it could live beyond this thread.
>Discord
Fuck this private party zoomer redditoid platform.

I would like to contribute in something, so i'm gonna monitor the thread.
I can: (best to worst)
>draw
>model
>animate
>code a tiny bit

>>1015567
>aaa not worth it
Agreed. Unnecessary razzle dazzle that forsnt make bad games good.
>good enough to be fun if we all play test
I think so too. But my project is niche and not everyone's into it. But I will say this, I'm trying to be funny. The premise of the game is a joke. My goal is that two handed players and one handed players both have fun.
>fuck discord
Agreed. I just don't know what else to use. I just made an itch.io account. I could make a dev thread on /3/ too invite people to join a la cart if they wish.

>>1015568
> two handed players and one handed players both have fun.
is this accessibility related ?
> to invite people to join a la cart if they wish.
How do you get files from us ? Discord has a 8mb limit which complicates things a bit.
Have you considered using github also ?

>>1015627
Yes accessibility is very important to me.

I have a github. We have a prototype of the game cooking right now. My very cool compatriot made a sweet mirror reflection system.
When there's more to show I'll make a thread. The player avatar will be this week's project for me.

>>1015566
hmm. im trying to keep it all texture-swaps because i dont know how the engine will handle it and if you'll want to/be able to do stuff like blend between textures and materials

i'll be the ideas guy

although, if you CAN blend between textures it makes the hot and cold versions pretty easy. you could slowly blend between them as food cooks too i guess.

>>1015706
you'll be busy, it seems like every big studio employs at least 200 of those

>>1015710
>>1015707
It's good looking and I appreciate the effort by my current collaborator beat you to it. Pic related.
Ya kno....if there was a more robust line of communication, if you really wanted to join the project, it'd help with these tow stepping incidents.

>>1015720
Lol, no problem. Im not really comitted to the project, im just using this as an excuse to practice and give some direction to my creativity. If theres anything else you'd like i can give it a go, but i totally get it if you'd prefer to stick to the one getting things done faster and more reliably

The problem is management and organization. What happened here is that a small group of people did the bulk of the work; in that group, one person did the bulk of putting everything together.

You would have to do what AAA does, which is farm out to boutiques. You could encourage those to form here, I suppose. Groups of a dozen or less dudes and dudettes working together, all given a small portion of the game. But no one is getting paid, so however well-meaning, motivation will be inconsistent.
