>>713129246 (OP)
the best game ever

anon, the last thread just hit bump limit... give us some time to make progress pls

>>713129246 (OP)
I'm making an RPG inspired by SMT and F&H

I'm happy I got a few things implemented that before seemed a pain. Like instant kill chance when using skills on enemies if they are weak to them. Hunger meter is in but will need to balance it out.

>Start working on game
>I need to learn to draw so I can do some concept art
>Now all I do is draw
Send help

Yeah my roguelike is dead isnt it
havent worked on it for ages

so I guess I will do the moo clone then

here are my game design ideas so far

1. simplify micromanagement of planets greatly
2. make space combat much quicker and real time
3. make tech tree choices less convoluted
4. make diplomacy and strategical expansion the most critical parts of the game
5. allow playing much more evil with bio weapons, slave and drug trade etc.
6 give each race a unique ultimate technology

>>713129902
That's just the way it goes. I got stuck debugging meshes so now I've spent the last 3 weeks brushing up on geometry and trigonometry.

i like the art but the gameplay looks aimless or unfocusd, like spastic with no direction

Why are these threads always neglected and die, yet they are more healthy than the dev thread on /vg/?

Anyway i added the ability for tiles to take damage. Now i gotta get guns and aiming sorted.

>>713133390
The last one was pretty good
>>713049756

>>713133390
These threads are "neglected" because only real developers congregate here and not nodev losers like on /vg/. Since said developers are busy, that's what causes these threads to be slow.

>>713133563
am i nodev if i take very long breaks

>>713129246 (OP)
Im going to make a game with my trans friends

>>713133627
No, I'm just explaining why the thread appears "neglected": since you don't have nodev larpers shitting it up and bumping it as a result, the threads struggle against the deluge of racebaiting, jailbaiting, and culture war threads.

>>713133852

not really an artist so cant really draw concept art, but plan on learning 3d modeling for my game. decided to just snatch photos and drawings related to the topic my game is about from various sources on the internet. anyone else do this?

bored sound designer here again, literally using AI music at this point because i've stopped really caring

>>713130134
space combat will make or break your game.

>>713145007
NTA but explain

>>713146404
explain what

i'm a sound designer working full-time and I'm out of ideas so i'm just grabbing AI music and adding to it

or

with space combat in these 4x games I've found that if the space combat isn't fun I won't play it as much. I don't really know anymore what kind of space combat I would find 'fun' but I guess people really loved games like MOO2 or Endless Space for some reason.
also maybe I'm dumb but Crying Suns had some really nice space combat.

>>713133390
I never see the point of posting in these threads after I realized they're basically just popularity contests and if you don't make games slanted towards certain genres or themes people will ignore or just call your game slop. This issue is of course 3x as prevalent in /agdg/

>>713146827
I personally just wanna talk shop about actually making video games (in my case, music and sound design).

I'm bored and I won't really comment one way or another on stuff I have no expertise about. This beats shitposting in footfag threads which I can't really do at the office

>>713146994
I think a thread about making games rather than being some weird self-help blogpost area for certain schizo adjacent anons would be cool

>>713146580
Yeah I was asking about the latter.
I like space shooters.

>>713151313

>>713151759
all sorts

for my personal project, it was space techno

for my full-time work as a sound designer, right now, it's mindless chillout lounge/funk

what do you mean what's my goals with it
i've been doing this for like 10 years professionally so i may be past having done 24 hours worth of music

Is this that AI Shine Megami game that generates Elsa Superman demons?

>>713152117
Haven't thought about that before. Are there assets from recent games or old ones only? I'm more focused on recent games and how they backgrounds and other art.

>>713152386
Neat

>>713152428
What? No, I'm pretty sure it's from the original game. Never actually played it, it's just that the monster designs are the closest to what I have in mind

>>713153375
I already have it! thanks

>>713152823
You can find it for just about anything, as long as someone was interested enough to rip (and upload) it. Not sure what you have in mind, but as an example, looking up something like 'cuphead background rip' brings up a ledditor who ripped the game assets and shared it. It's not always a guarantee you'll find backgrounds, since most people are interested in characters, but you should be able to find enough to give you some ideas on how you want to tackle your project

>>713154084
the 120+ GB expansions are hefty, but if you have a good ear, with that many presets, you practically have no excuse not to come up with something good.

What's your plan to stand out from others when a million other people will do the same?

Maybe if I keep coming into these threads and pretend I'm working on my dream game, I'll eventually start doing it.

Because you lack discpline, and scope to see that your actions are undermining your goals

>>713156419
Stand out? I don't want fame or success, just seeing a game I always wanted to see coming to fruition at least in some form is good enough. If someone makes one close enough to what I want, I won't bother in the first place

>>713158992
If you dont care about fame or success, and are happy with it being in "some form", why aren't you going to do the art yourself so you can start it today?

i was here before this sold one trillion copies

I saw somewhere a game can be fun to code, or fun to play.
My game is definitely for coding. I gotta keep this brain rust out, and i am no artist or musician. More backend systems and complexity instead of gameplay? Hell yeah.

>>713159097
I have a dungeon crawler in mind, so style is more important than usual. I don't mind using stock assets if they fit my vision, but characters and monsters have to be original, and that I'm unable to achieve. Need robutts. Besides that, I'll most likely get filtered when trying to program the thing. Never done more than Unity asset flips and GameMaker shitposts. The fact of AI being able to draw my things is merely a kick-in-the-ass jumpstart for me to even start an attempt. I'll just wait for now and see how things are, it's possible that someone else will make something close enough while I'm picking my nose here

>>713161757
You could start learning to code that thing at least. Make an ugly prototype.

>>713161835
I could and I shall, but I'll wait for roboman to get less stupid first. Appreciate the words of encouragement

>>713162471

Currently praying the file recovery tool can save my project, because I deleted the wrong folder, the last backup was from several weeks ago, and I'm that close to fucking give up.

>>713162636
can you sexually kiss the birb?

>>713163778
Best of luck. It sounds fucking daunting. Going to do backups now too.

>>713162565
I get what you're saying but it's not a case of "I want to make a game but I keep procrastinating". I don't want to make it in the first place and I pray to all the gods I'm aware of that someone else will happen to share at least some of the ideas I have in mind. AI getting more believable and accessible will open the gates to many niche indie projects, and the aesthetic I'm looking for is more popular than ever. Chances could've been worse. It's only once I get truly desperate I'll start taking it seriously, but for now, whatever

He pops out of existence once the dialogue ends, so I assume no

>>713131364
Heyyyy alright. This looks cool. Thanks for teasing this.

I’m making sprites just for fun and to make mockup screenshots, trying to dial back any grand ambitions for now. Anything in particular I should know about sprites to make them more authentic outside of following tile size and a palette? I know that technically a character might need to be broken up into multiple tiles that are 8x8 or 16x16 that are considered sprites while the character itself is the object. I’d be delighted to contribute to someone’s indie project someday as a guy doing the art assets. I think im a pretty decent artist, but I know there’s likely details I’m overlooking when it comes to having sprites be functional.

>>713165067
caveanon?

how do you make levels for a shootem up?
do you put triggers on the ground and when they're passed the encounter is turned on?

Game Maker is so nice for a lot of things.
UIs and Menus are not those things. I want to fucking die.

>>713165318
Yeah. I have like 26 or 27 concepts I’ve jotted down so far and writing down game mechanics because I don’t want to forget them and it keeps me sane. Most concepts I get hit hard and fast and come all at once. I could talk about any one of em, but to not spam the thread or take away from the spirit of actual development, I’ll keep what I post to sprites for now and hope they’re good enough or the fit for a dev who can actually program to ask me to take that next step. I just love games, man, I could talk all day about mechanics and art direction and so on. I wish there could be threads in /v/ where people just shoot the shit on genres and what’s great about them and what needs improvement or what could be fun to see, I’d never leave /v/ again.

You're gonna make it.

>>713131364
this will make you money, my dude!

>>713165067
i'm sorry but that sprite gave me an intrusive thought

>>713163778
I encounter similar problem with Godot.
So i torrented some retarded movie at the same time working on a small gamejam game. I saved the scene in the Godot at the time, when there were no free space on my harddrive. What Godot do is basically this:
>every object that is on the current scene gonna be saved on a new file and overwritten
>oops, there are no place for a file bigger than 1 byte
>OK, I just gonna overwrite all old files with these new empty files
And I was just flabbergasted as 2 weeks of "work" go down in drain in a second.

What helped me was my obsession with exporting game every day and uploading it on itch.io just to test the current build, so I wouldn't get into a situation when it's a deadline and game is too big to run into a browser (HTML5).

So i downloaded my last build, and run Godot_Recovery_Tools, it decompile my own game back into Godot readable thingy.

>>713167839

>>713168042
then what the point of a female fairy

>>713167903
>it decompile my own game back into Godot readable thingy.
... I do have a recent build.
Let's pray I can find a Unity decompilation tool that can extract code properly somehow.
Thanks for the idea.

>>713167526
Ha, no problem. There aren’t enough caveman games on the market, are there?

Building bridges, doing it properly takes a lot of fucking polys.

>>713168826

>>713168826

you don't need to build a proper bridge, you need to make something that looks like a bridge and makes people think it's a bridge

>you need to make something that looks like a bridge and makes people think it's a bridge

I know, I'm an engineer by training so it's hard to imagine what looks like a bridge but isn't a bridge.

>>713169581
Is the bridge for a game or just a render? If its a game, make the bolts a texture.
Even if its literally a square plane with a bolt texture, you'll save thousands of triangles

>>713169581
Learn to use instances, this is a retarded way of building a bridge.

>>713169756
Game, just going to see how bad the performance is first. It's VR so normal mapped bolts look flat as hell.

>>713169861
You know instances don't save rendering performance, only RAM.

We all know the reason why you glaze it is because it has an anime girl in it. Shut the fuck up.

>>713174492
why you gotta press the button for a bomb?
Just spawn them in randomly so the player moves around, otherwise they'll sit on the button and throw bombs from there (as you did yourself).

>>713175257
Yes 1 room, 30 guys is action
>But they are all shitty enemies who don't do anything
And the Cris game has the exact same deal with less guys, but now there are 20 startup frames on every action

>>713175257
Cris...

>>713175342
the button right now is just a fill in for a multiplayer spawner of a bomb and pressing buttons is fun

>>713179676
Yeah it probably could if you programmed it in

>>713179676
yes if you know how to handle the "pictures" properly

>>713179676
You shouldn't be asking "can you" because you can.
Instead, ask "should you" because often times no, it's not worth the immense extra effort.

>>713168826
This is the equivalent of a footfag spending weeks on sculpting and texturing feet.

Where the fuck has this game been all my life.

>>713181303
ask him poly count on the nuts.

>>713179676
Jesus, this looks rad. But anyone recreating it is working a long time on it to make the most basic attack animation. Considering how many different attacks games have today, it's going to drive you insane working on it.

>>713179676
this is that one video of a drummer playing his ass off while dressed as a mascot

>>713183042
also it would get tedious looking at the same 10 seconds long animation everytime you use a skill

>>713183190
I would rather make a battle system that looks just like golden sun, this is neat but kinda gives off zoomed adhd vibes.

Has there been any update from that guy who was begging for people to make his furry game for him?

>>713157914
What is your dream game you want to make?

My code is kinda growing to uncomfortable size. Can't wait to finish current feature so I can back it up and start refactoring.

Working on Online Tag/Hide and Seek mode, adding stuff that will make it more enjoyable. When you're it, you get a yellow outfit and a yellow area around you that when other players step in, they become it. When you do your baseball bat attack, it now briefly extends your area of effect a lot. If you're a seeker, I also added an arrow that always points toward the nearest non-seeker if you've stopped moving.

I think all these together have made the mode a lot more fun, and made it so the seekers have a chance. Also, I was using one controller for all four instances, so that's why movement is so wonky.

More sprites just for fun, so far this has taken roughly forty-five minutes.

These would be for a side-scrolling shoot em up called "Midas". The idea was that your ship can graze enemy shots or maybe even enemies themselves to turn them into gold, which could then be thrown into other enemies for combos where they all become gold, and the player gathers the gold pieces to add to their score. The Midas ship could shoot, of course, at four different levels of power, without the need for collecting power-ups, but there would be a catch - your score is your ammo, and the more powerful your shots, the more points it costs. The player would always have access to a basic shot, but it would be weak and have half a screen-length of range. Midas would also be able to grab select enemies and objects indicated with a certain palette or maybe it can flash, hold them, and then throw them back or drop them onto other enemies or against walls to destroy them.

Ideally, there would be four ships with four uniquely designed hands for difficulty. Easy mode is Talos (bronze), normal is Artemis (silver), hard is Midas (gold), and then maybe super hard could be something like Pluton (platinum). Then there's the idea of the hand maybe being able to grind against the bottom of the stage to gather materials to throw, like snow for a snowball, or a static charge to zap enemies for a limited time. Or hell, what if the hand could snatch at and tear off parts of a mid-boss or boss' armor to make it vulnerable to shots? Who the fuck knows, it's stuff like this that I can't let go and have to make art for or else it just eats me up inside.

>>713186690
That's super cool. I have some replication going on in my game but while attacks work and damage is replicating, armor and weapons aren't and it looks really funny.
Is your client based or server based?

>>713131364
Post it. I'll wishlist and preorder.
Based anon

>>713187119
Both. You can host a server that is stand alone, but I also have it where you can be the host and play at the same time. It's all roll-back, either way, so you won't see any lag on your gameplay side.

>>713181303
I've spent a day on it.

Performance is not a problem, but it's not working out anyways, those round cutouts on the bottoms of the beams makes the top too clean looking. Going to do square plates welded across beams to make the main truss for better greebling and bake in the bolts into the texture.

are there any level based turn based games?
what i mean by level based is something like doom where you can drop in and out of levels as opposed to a standard rpg where progress is mandatory and linear.

Listen, guys! The only reason why I used AI voice acting in my game is because I have no money! Alright?
If I had money I wouldn't use it!
Now, if you don't want me to use it, you can either buy the game so I can actually afford to hire someone, or voice yourself for free, alright?

This does not happen. This never happens. Some they/them faggot getting a maximum of 100 likes complaining about this on twitter is not your reputation being tarnished, unless you really really cared about your standing with that kind of "person" for some reason.

I'm glad my game doesn't have this problem.

Think I'm finally done with those door animations. Might revisit them later if I find myself improving at 3D animations since they aren't perfect, but I think they are good enough for now. Next up is making the shadow follow the player during the animation which should be easy enough, and then comes working on the menu! I just wish my mouse left click wasn't so fucked up, need to get a new one asap.

wasnt there someone here making a 3d loli game where you could see her panties under the skirt if you looked hard enough?

>>713191073
Soul or not, what's the benefit of doing this even? I don't want creeps to be the main playerbase of my game, actually. Hell, I think this would lose me more players than gain.

>>713190909
Well, planned right now, I'm going to be adding a platformer race mode, but, like, with items like Mario kart. That's an eventually thing, though, as that will require its own course. Co-Op is already implemented, but that's easy.

>>713186742
What happened to that detective zapper game you were making?

If I wanted to create vidya in somewhat similar art style to picrel, what engine should I pick?

>>713191073
I don't know faggot, if even DLsite and literal porn bends the knee to (((them))) then making a game with such content is out of the question.
Just mod them in if the devs don't implement it. Your demanding shit is literal nigger "gibs me dat", doing the work yourself is always the more enlightened path.

>>713191490

What exists BEHIND the black void in this scenario, dumbass? Answer the question.

>>713129246 (OP)
I gave up.

>>713192621
Just don't model anything under the skirt? Do you not understand how 3D models work? Do you think you just tell AI to make a model and it models it? Lmao.

>>713192621
It takes seconds up to 1 minute to make a few faces and a black texture under a skirt, compared to minutes to an hour for thighs panties as well as UV unwrapping and texturing.
You will have your black void underskirts and you will be happy.

>>713192780
>>713192841
why do you NEED to model and texture it all? why not just leave it there? The black void looks like dogshit anyways so you can't cope that it's about aesthetics
literally just leave it there, barren and empty barbie doll shit with no textures, what's the matter? It's not like you care if it looks good since you're already shilling for the ugly void

>>713192970
Because I'd get a billion bug reports about textures not rendering if you leave them empty.
Clearly, you don't make games.

>>713191405
I still want to do it, but for now I'm setting my sights lower and practicing making sprites. Also decided to pivot away from Unity and try Game Maker instead. If it's good enough for UFO 50, it's good enough for whatever game I'd wanna make since all of my concepts so far are basic arcade or action games. I plan on G-Man only having five missions, but those would be very detailed setpieces that would require a lot of unique tiles and objects, and I would want to do those in a way that are cartoonish, but are rendered with a limited palette in a way that provides the game with the right atmosphere. I'm studying other games' assets on Spriters Resource to see how I might need to break up the environments to make sure they're perfectly aligned with tiles.

The five levels' main setpieces would be...

1) A fancy hotel where G-Man would have just five minutes to travel between multiple floors and find walkie-talkies that give off word balloons for hints on an assassin's location before a foreign business mogul is shot.

2) A fish processing plant on the coast where drugs are being smuggled, including a big boat G-Man climbs up and infiltrates to gather evidence and progress into the plant.

3) The streets and rooftops of a city a lot like downtown San Francisco.

4) The deep woods and river rapids and rocky cliffs where a cult is, complete with a forest fire sequence near the end.

5) Inside a large UFO and then on the terrain of an alien planet, the aliens having abducted the president.

It would be a LOT of work, but worth it if I can pull off the atmosphere.

I hecking love game development.

>>713192970
>why do you NEED to model

How would you know this since apparently no one ever does this?
>>713193153
You're not answering the question. Why do you need to do specific changes to that area if you're going to hide it anyways?

you guys dont model crotches? I though that was the standard

>>713193254
You're onto something. I could leave it empty to get even less triangles on my model.
I can then just mute Warnings in my engine because who cares about an unclosed mesh.

>>713193287
Apparently the black void is an integral part of that guy's modeling process

>>713193254

>>713190909
Make the camera pan around earlier so that the player can see what’s ahead of them before they take control of the character.

So my friends and I are in the middle of developing a game, we're probably 8 months out from a final build. The game is a fairly small in scope RPG
I did all the pixel art but I don't think it's up to standard
How much would I need to pay for a good artist to work 1-2 months to fix up my art?

>>713194409
might be a good idea! I'll try that

Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.
About 700 games in the week around your release.
AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.
Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)

Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."

Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.

Oh ok so you're retarded and just bitch about this stuff than actually use it, parroting the opinions kf nodevs. Why are you even here nodev anon?

>>713193287
You don't make what you don't need. If you already have a base nude/underwear model you reuse that, if not you never model or texture the crotch.
But either way you're better off with the void because it lets you avoid any clipping issues between the butt and the skirt.

>>713196791
The issues with Unreal are economical, not technical. A solo dev can work around it. That being said though, it does have a default look and if anon expects to never ever touch the lighting people will recognize that.

I'm still working on a furry text based RPG inspired by Corruption of Champions.

I've been using Godot, but it really sucks. Thinking of switching to Unity, though I'm not sure how it is with text adventure games. If I was at all artistic I'd make it an actual RPG instead of just text based.

Working title is Feral Forrest. You start out as a knight entering the ruins of a great city that is over grown by a forest. You main objective is to end the curse on the people who have all turned into monsters and animals. Also they all want to fuck you and the more you get fucked the more feral you'll become. And if you've become too corrupted you won't be able to stop the curse.

>>713183190

This is why you make sure the option exists to either simplify or disable animations entirely.

>>713198779
Well that is something alright. Maybe it is a game that never gets made.

>>713198779
Can't say I'd ever play that game, but if all you want is text then you'll probably have an easier time with web tech. Pick your JS framework of choice, slap it into Electron and glue SQLite to it for data.

>>713198964
IT work is very draining. I like to balance it with drawing on weekdays and then do the coding on the weekend. Also take a walk during your break and after work, it clears your head better than just rest.

>>713199236
>RPG Maker 2000 or 2003 is able to do this
People that ask "can you do x" on any engine are retarded. In rpgmaker 2000 and 2003, even if there isn't scripting, you can do a loop, number variables and display pictures. With that you can do literally anything, its more than enough to make any kind of game, from "3D" stuff like doom to full blown RTS. Ofc it isn't recommended for this kind of stuff, but you can do it quite easily with a little bit of creativity.
Any major engine like Unity and Godot will be 100% easier though.

>>713129246 (OP)
I'm currently upgrading an older MMORPG whose source is available to x64 and dx10/11, as well as completely rebuilding its core identity, does that count?

Any 3D art chads want to collab?

>>713189650
This but unironically.

>>713179676
From the looks of it it's just a scene transition with animation. You could technically does picture-by-picture transition into the battle scene. Just make an animation in whatever program you like (unity,blender etc), record it, turn it into a gif and use a plugin in rpg maker to import it into your scene. Then just set the battle scene's background to be the same as the last frame of the gif.

>low poly game with flat colors and emission shader set to 1
Is there anything stopping me from mapping the single color UVs to a single pixel in the texture? For example does a flat white wall need a UV mapped to anything more than a single white pixel in the texture? It looks fine and "works" in Blender and Unity but I'm wondering if there are any edge cases I might run into

>>713201581
Too many chefs spoil the broth

My game would be about aliens (reptilians, grays, anunnaki, etc, what i consider "real aliens" from "real life").
I have the skills to make a game.
But I have been forced back to my job for lack of money.

>>713212678
Try to keep your textures small if you are going low poly, only use bigger textures if you need more details

>>713207067
Depends on the game and so on. Hard to give you any word when you have revealed nothing about your game yet.

started working on a conversation system for the npcs. Changes text color depending on who's talking and the npcs can play animations during conversations. Still have to decide what to do with the camera, maybe focus it right in the middle of the space between the player and the npc?

>>713202074
rape!!!!

>>713215739

>>713210973

thanks! the rotation is me moving the camera lel

>>713215976
Yeah you should lock it.

>>713212569
Now make her cover herself when her clothes are destroyed

>>713215739
You should put the interaction text higher up or near their head.

>>713216780
do you say that because it's not very noticeable? I had planned to make the text a bit bigger and adding a button icon next to it, but I'll also put it a bit higher as well so it's more noticeable.

>>713216919
he means interaction indicator

>>713217105
yeah, me too

Should I feel bad or how to avoid feeling like shit when you take inspiration from another thing, another indie. I love Marathon but I also loved the citadel games, I wanna take inspiration from some mechanics but you know I don't want to....

>>713217456
there's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from others, that's what 99% of media does.
>I wanna
>but you know I don't want to
Just make up your mind and go ahead.

>>713216919
To me I say near the npc's head because you're the actor instigating the interaction to another actor. The goblin is who you want to talk to, but that's just my vision on npcs in general. If you're interaction is static and always in that same place and you want to enhance it how you mentiond i think that will be ok.

>>713217456
Stop using pussy logic, just make a game that you like

>>713217595
oh okay, I understand what you mean. Thing is I want to use the same caption for npcs, chests, doors, levels and so on, so I'd rather keep it in a static place so it's consistent across all those different entities. Kinda like the context button in OOT. I'll still apply the stuff I mentioned earlier, maybe even make the letters flash or expand a bit like in Camelot games. Thanks for the feedback anon.

>>713217798
No problem, and I never expect or want you to change your style just one dev chatting to another :)

>>713218425
