haven't seen a game dev thread in a while. What have you been working on?

Absolutely nothing

>>716222475
Same here, been playing Rimwolrd nonstop instead lol.

vehicle physics

i haven't started yet. debating on downloading ue5 due to the sheer mass of it to mess around since my coding is rusty and it seems to be the easiest engine to fuck with while not really coding that much.

>>716224203
>head clipping through the roof
same vibes

>>716224543
i really don't know how i would fix it considering he's already sitting down

>>716225212
drag ass forward, so the back bends more and the head ends at a lower postion. Or just make the car bigger.

>>716225389
can't modify the character bones i think, it's mostly fine actually if i move him down even further, he just needs to extend legs

>>716225454
I think you really need to make the car a bit bigger, but it might just be me. Like compare the size of the seat to the dude's size, shit's tiny.

>>716225576
when i sit in a golf that's how big i am

>>716225667
never been inside that car, but look at picrel. Isn't that part of the seat supposed to be for the head? doesn't even reach his shoulders

Fucking around with a console library.

I'm working on text boxes. I don't know what the requirements are yet so I'm just adding stuff I think will be cool later even if I don't use it.

>>716225773
not really, if i would shrink the player by that much he'd be a child

>>716227627
very good on you for not making the textbox occupy all of the screen's width like some fucking noob. I think you should add some padding between the borders and the text, would look better I believe.

>>716225454
mostly fixed now

Implemented a basic save system, enemy item drops, a "mana" system, made some basic badges. Tried to make the battle menu fancier than a simple scrollable menu, but it it's gonna need much refining now that I see my idea in action

Added enemy giblets last week
Getting campaign mode ready for Oct next fest

>>716220264 (OP)
A breakout clone that I will probably release somewhere but I am too afraid to share much here.

getting close to finishing some porn
i hope it goes viral so i have some cash to advertise my real game

I made an ecs for the game server, been moving things to use that

Tested out some dreampools stuff for my dream journal map thing
too bad half the neat features for the water shader are all in newer Source games and not in Source 2013 so I can't make pool water look as good as it could be

>>716229623
I thouhgt you had already been in a next fest...

I also exhumed this old vmf from like 2019 when The Backrooms was still just an interesting /x/ idea and not currently being made into an actual movie by A24.
The wallpaper texture and the light is the only thing I changed but I liked how it came out so now I've segued into tinkering with the map and now it's turned into its own little project.

Hours of blender tutorials to make a donut and I still haven't touched how to get it into unity

About to start the 20 games challenge in Love2D today, hopefully I can get a game template out of it.
>>716227260
Nice, would be very interesting for a modern roguelike to be both in the console and have mouse controls.

heavy enemy

>>716231380
also because it just feels right and I found a neat tool that can do it

>>716232474
is this for Reinbo or is it for a new game?

>>716232474
have you ever considered doing something turn-based? I love your animations, and being able to do them without having to care about hitboxes, timing nor anything like that might let you make even cooler stuff.

spear enemy

>>716232573
Reinbo

I finally played BOTW and Rune factory Guardians of Azuma and it was really inspiring.

So then I implemented a new skybox, weather system, integration with TVE to make plants white during snow, an UBER shader for gameobjects to make snow appear on houses, a terrain shader to make the terrain snowy. Then did the same exercise for rain. Then I made the playable character react to rain. Then I attached some rain drop effect on the character to play when it stops raining, to show he is wet.

Then I realized that I got sidetracked and that I totally neglected the game part of the game.

>>716220264 (OP)
Worked on enemy AI yesterday. Today I'm adding few new behaviors and testing them out.

I had a pretty good idea for one during a shower but I forgot it already. Second worst feeling in gamedev.

>>716220264 (OP)
recently got a new character design for my game

>>716232659
can you add a little cheesecake to the game? i think it will be more popular.

WIP
Finishing teaser trailer

>>716233701
>I had a pretty good idea for one during a shower but I forgot it already
I went for a short walk and remembered, I wanted to make a behavior where the enemy gains attack speed for a few seconds, and then loses it afterwards AND more for a few seconds.
Since I wanted to make a system for buffs and possibility to delay them.

>>716232474
>>716232659
so smooth

>>716232662

Also did my first lipsync:
>>>/wsg/5919896

>>716232636
Thanks, not sure about turn based. The next thing I was going to work on was a horror based game which is more exploration rpg based rather than twitchy combat.

>>716234024
lol maybe the waifu character

>>716234382
looks fun

Finished up my Temperature system, I'm gonna start making an enemy that can go invisible tomorrow.

>>716234382
looks super fine. Have you considered making the title more pixelated so it fits better with everything else?

Tutorial is nearly complete; I just need to add in the cutscene for when the player actually defeats Minister Shen. If you were not aware, there will be an explorable version of Fortress Fygoon (more pictures to follow) and you will be able to interact with the Minister by either asking for a rematch or some advice based on your progress. Playing a Kameo made me realize just how annoying and useless Ortho the Wizard was, so I made Shen's advice mystic-sounding but more practical (also you have to seek him out instead of him blathering about "Durr you're not good at this game." while you're fighting the controls to do exactly what he's about to suggest).

I've been converted to board gaming so I'm working on a card game instead of coding vidya.

making npcs slurpable

>>716235675
Does this hurt the NPC?

Anyway here's Fygoon's Chamber or, to the layman, his bedroom. This room is pretty neat since the weapon rack now evolves based on what weapons the player has obtained for their save file. The clock in the room is also functional and is based on your computer's current time but with a twist: the Frydarian day, though it consists of 24 hours, is divided into three parts, each having three hours: Morning, Day, and Night. With that being said, each tsas (or hour) is comprised of 60 remnut (or minutes), which are composed of 60 mesgund (seconds); simply put, time works exactly the same on Frydar Island as it does here, but they don't use AM or PM.

Finally here's the dungeons in the basement. Since Fygoon and his friends are living in the Age of Peace, it's completely empty. Enemies of the Frydarian crown that once inhabited and were rightfully tortured in these halls have long since decomposed into mere skeletons, their supporters none the wiser to their fate. There's nothing really noteworthy down here, and there are far more interesting places to explore in the basement (training hall, treasury, and the Doom Dragon's lair).

>>716235890
They just get sent to the farm, don't worry :)

>>716231758
Everything pretty much happens on an async (uvloop) queue. I have worker pool available for CPU intensive tasks. I'm not an algorithm chad but for neighbor checks: tiles, objects are in an r-tree, and network players, npcs, monsters in a spatial hash where players are subscribers for neighbor updates. I have few other "managers" like the SIEM, which we can flag to run on a thread or a different process.

>>716235890
nah they're good

>>716220264 (OP)
How do i develop a good space shooting game though

How can I make a coomer game now that Steam banned them?

>>716238921
Probably itch instead. Worse case scenario, sell some t shirts that happen to come with a bonus code to download the game.

>>716239416
>itch

Has anyone made the jump from modding an existing game to making a game?
I can do low poly (10k or less) assets in a few hours and have learnt to texture them in substance painter.
I'm not sure if I should make a game that uses that level of modelling or keep going and learn pbr materials and bigger poly counts.

>>716220264 (OP)
even making a text game like Zork on your own is hard kek fuck this

>>716240376
sort of? I attempted a pokemon romhack before trying to make a game proper

>>716240376
I used to mod LF2 before doing this

>>716220264 (OP)
This.

>>716241673
Spooky gypsy gonna get you

>>716241673
thats pretty neat

the bane of my life is that I dont know any artists. Im a c++ god but this holds me back so hard. if I had an artist partner we could pump out 10 shekels games on steam monthly

There are tons of free assets bro, you might not be an artist but you can definetely make something with good art.

>>716242506
I’m an artist. What kinda games, pixel or 3D?

>>716242506
https://www.artstation.com/, start messaging every single artist here and you will eventually find someone to cooperate with you.

>>716242506
Art isn't that difficult to learn if you focus on the very specific things you need for your game. Get a drawing tablet and start practicing, took me about a year of very, very casual drawing(5 month break) to get good enough for an indie game.

I posted this in the thread that died early the other day but I made a jannybot enemy for the dungeon I'm working on and it explodes when it dies

>>716242506
Just use placeholders

>>716244365
>>716242506
you are better off finding an artist through a discord community. artstation is more for studios

>>716246356
neat, a YIIK-like

Been working on finally updating the engine but also did some smaller features, like being able to color your house like you do your ship or cockpit.

>>716246356
>Lightning bolt takes a single button press and does more damage than the sword minigame taking 5 times as long to do less damage.

>>716246837
The colors look good and the detailing on the window looks neat. How does king's crimson work?

>>716232662
>looks oka...
>furfaggot
Nevermind.

>>716246915
The lightning bolt is a spell and the robot is weak to it. Because it's weak to lightning, it puts the robot in an "exposed state" (where the red ! appears). If an enemy is exposed, the next basic attack turns into an addition which does more damage than a basic attack. I haven't done a lot of balancing yet so damage and stats are WIP.

>>716246927
They're all just dyes you find in the game, so different shades and colors.

Is there any place with nintendo64 ripped models with animations?
There are models I don't think any of them have animations https://www.models-resource.com/nintendo_64/

Also which style is the easiest to 3d model? I don't want minecraft like blocky characters. Is there some middle ground between just blocks and human like?

>>716247228
>Also which style is the easiest to 3d model? I don't want minecraft like blocky characters. Is there some middle ground between just blocks and human like?
yeah, normal shapes but with the arms not being attached to the model. Makes animation way easier since you don't have to worry about deformations. Many old games did the same.

>>716247228
Chibi style might work for you. There's tons of gachas that have it either 2D or 3D and since they're all in Unity you can easily rip the files yourself. Just get an android emulator with the game, copy game directory over and run the various extractor programs.

next patch should be up fairly soon. aside from bugfixes, it's mostly going to be animation reworks and grammar fixes. new game plus is still tbd.
some kid made a wiki a couple months ago, which I think is pretty neat.

I'm not into this just for the money

>>716252604
yeah
this is all on the dev build, but i added WASD to move to facilitate this. we'll see where things will go from there

>>716253337
careful or you might transition from ARPG to dungeon crawler without even noticing lol.

>>716252982
no

added van

>>716253431
all this is doing is making me want to make a first person dungeon crawler really badly.
since everything is already fully 3D i could just repurpose things if needed.
i think it would be fun but it might be too much work to do it solo.

>>716252462

>>716253613
might be a lot of work yes, but you always scale down a bit, maybe in characters and scenario detail. Maybe make it lowpoly.
>>716253895

>>716236349
I like this. What's the game about?

>>716252896
>>716234382
Yeah, I can't tell if it's Paloo or not. Should be changed for clarity.

>>716235536
nice. keep it up bro

some early inventory draft. Some of the logic is already done but I need to improve the code around loading and unloading the items 3D models, plus improving the light on that spinning 3D model. Also have to design the UI which is something I really don't feel like doing lol. Most fun part about making this was the pre-rendered sprites, since I never did that before.

>>716257429
This game is what I come to these threads for.
Demo when?

>>716257978
Damn, appreciate the encouraging words anon.
>Demo when
I have to apologize. I used to answer to that with "sometime during summer" but I don't know if that's going to be possible. Life got in the way and I've also been playing too much vidya. Still hoping to release something soon, even if it's not the demo I had in mind but more of an alpha test with a small level and some combat.
>tldr
hopefully soon

>>716220264 (OP)
Fuckall.
I've been focused on a different 4chan-related projects instead so my mind isn't in the devving mood sadly.
Also bought (aka wasted money on) a second monitor "for productivity". Worst part is that these next few months until ywar end I'll be fixed on clearing my vidya backlog so that means even less time to dev.
I suppose seeing these threads are what motivates me to work on muh game.
>>716246837
>>716254560
I bought a copy of this during the summer sale. Anything to help a fellow de/v/ out.

Best gamedev thread in a while

>>716259808
yeah a very good one indeed, lots of progress being posted and no bullshit dramas. I love you all.

I'm still continuing to learn Pixel Game Maker and I'm convinced that I'll be able to make a game in it. Trying to wrap my brain around game resolution, camera resolution, and making sure assets look right on different size screens. Like if I have my camera as 960x540 it'll distort the pixel art on a 1280x720 display but it'll look fine on 1920x1080. 640x360 apparently scales up to all the common display sizes fine though but I already made some pixel art assets that are slightly too big for it. My character has to be smaller and less detailed unless I want them taking up a lot of the screen in other words. But maybe I'm not understanding things right and need to dick around with things more.

>>716261594
That shit drove me insane back when I started, ended up uaing low res just to make sure everything looked alright. Good luck with your game anon, learning new shit can be dauntinf but it sure is worth it.

Finally got back to work on Hellas (sandbox MMO) after three years of focusing too much on my job. Feels good.

Specifically, fixed some fundamental networking issues and moved the server from a HDD to a SDD. Looking forward to content/feature work.

>>716262619
Very pleasing to look at, nice color palette.

I only have concepts and storylines. I really need to actually start making shit.

>>716255661
Its a sandbox, some servers will be like a runescape-clone, others more like minecraft-clone, and whatever minigames or mechanics I build for them to toggle on top of that.

>>716262730
Cheers! Art is the hard part, and the biggest obstacle to adding content. But at least I've found a style that seems to work. One day it'd be nice to make something more high-res or 3D, but it's a lot harder to make that look good enough.

Ahem,
Monsters raping boys, post your work. NOW!

I tried to do a MH style wyvern today
I probably want a proper mouth if I'll rig and run some animation tests on it.
This isn't for a game but I do hope to be able to create a deep down game some day.

>>716220264 (OP)
What is y'alls background in math?

>>716265628
cs degree-level

>>716265628
Same as above, CS university math. Moist useful has been high-school trigonometry, and discrete math (number theory, Boolean logic)

>>716265628
I've always had an interest in physics and chemistry so the applied math there actually strangely informs a lot of coding decisions. Really helps with understanding animation and game-feel type shit

>>716265628
I absolutely love math and physics, and I am an enthusiast but I don't have a particular background in it. I really like vector math as well as angle math, which has served me very, very well in making my game.

Struggling with balancing texel density VS memory usage with unique textures in substance painter. VR requires very high texel density to look good. But now I'm realizing that the VR market is dead and maybe I should pivot to making low poly friendslop.

How accurate is the info on your steamDB page?

https://steamdb.info/app/1111930/charts/

Is the site bullshit?

>>716246837
Reminds me of having a comfy home in Star Wars Old Republic (the MMO).

>>716254673
Kinda same, took a week "break" kind of as I sense a drop in general interest from everybody in so many things lately which makes promoting a game really tough so I turtle up and just keep quiet and work. Like it suddenly feels like everyone is no longer excited about or replying to things, or it seems that way, in reality everyone is just generally switched off or focused on something else. But for indie devs for whom just a single response can mean everything, it can be brutal.

>>716273220

is this real

>>716274627
my porn games are unsearchable on itch io.. its real.

>>716270813
i dont know enough about trip hop to offer an opinion

To add to this, sooo many people have stopped playing games and have become completely obsessed with [current events] but they continue to hang around the gaming scene and pretend to be interested in games. It makes the market extremely weird to deal with. If you make products for like gardeners or something, you can rest assured the people hanging around your product are probably actually doing gardening.

>>716233775
Very nice lion. The face seems a tad too canid-like, so I recommend flattening it a bit so it looks more like a feline. As a somewhat related aside, I recall reading somewhere that Japanese people tend to design their anime women on cat pictures rather than humans; perhaps you could use that as a guide for how the lion's snout could look. While it might just be me, I think the lion's design would look better if you made his mane almost appear as if it was a part of his beard (you know, give him a flowing mustache too); but perhaps my idea of anthropomorphism is not the same as yours. All in all, superb job.

>>716274627
yep, it's basically over for nsfw devs, there's literally going to be 0 platforms to sell your shit that doesn't get taken down by the payment processors.

>>716220264 (OP)

Any ideas how to market my game better? Should I go heavy in the AI angle or go in the anime jrpg angle?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3595850/City_of_Spells/

I say lean into the AI bit. JRPGs are a dime a dozen, but if you can explain how the AI enhances your story (and how your game isn't AI sloppa) then you can stand out.
Also lean harder on making the characters look like paper puppets; I swear, it will turn your game from looking like a cheap Toon Boom animation to SOVL.

>>716273990
It really does, anon. This whole thread’s been radiating late-night “small team but big dreams” energy, and honestly that’s the best kind. Comfy, humble, and weirdly inspiring in that sleep-deprived 3am kind of way.

Well well well.

I used to mod and write basic tutorials for Medieval 2 Total War, but never completed my mod due to engine limitations and unwillingness to compromise on vision (not to mention the massive amount of work needed overall)

Yup, 99 Einsteinium. Unsure what a calcium attack is, but maybe I can put the table to good use, thanks.

Is that an anime in the lower box?

>What have you been working on?
Not much, spent this week fixing some player animation behaviors and improving the LookAt IK and UI transitions.
I've been slowly getting back into game dev, I'm gonna work on more level assets tomorrow because there are still a lot of buildings I need to finish.

Seems that they delisted every NSFW game, but only actually nuked ones with incest. So there's potential for the former to return.
Either way, I bet we'll just go back to days of seiso games with r18 patches.

Well look up what language the game engine you want to use supports, and learn that. Keep in mind; Java is for street shitters, Rust is for trans government plants, python is for scripting prototypes not final products, most everything else is a meme. You'll be best off using a C variant. Most likely C++, although maybe C# depending on specifics.

Want to actually be good? Unironically start with C. Then once you've mastered it, move on to C++

Check /g/ every once in a while, they have occasional threads on learning to code, and once in a blue moon a /ccct/ thread for chads.

Thread is dead as usual. Less than 20 posts in the past 4 hours. Sad to see that even the long breaks where it's not constantly being posted hasn't turned things around.

I'm almost done with my game. Just one chapter and the endings left.

Fuck off, rotatetranny. You just don't have it in you to make anything worthwhile.

eurobros are sleeping/working, plus a lot of progress got posted earlier in the threat

is it possible to make ue5 run super light? what are some key pitfalls preventing that?

>>716296338
When I was working with UE5 I basically disabled all the "new" features (nanite, etc)

>>716296338
>UE5
gonna stop you right there
unless your game needs mega GWAFICS faggotry, pick a different engine
it will run better and be smaller in filesize
UE5 is overkill for indies unless they are doing something with super-realistic graphics

>>716296921
>don't use that engine it's too much
>it's too big and powerful
>it's overkill
This is what drives people to use Unreal.

>>716296338
>is it possible to make the heavyweight engine super light?
the answer you want to hear is potentially yes, the answer you need to hear is "why?"

>>716273292
dope

>>716296338
Epic gives the source code away for free. Not only can you disable bloat, you can modify the engine and make your own custom build. Probably more sensible to just uncheck some boxes though.

>there was a time not that making an indie game that wasn't completely rancid would make you wealthy
>just had to get greenlit on steam or something and not make something terrible
>could promote and market the game by making a couple twitter posts to real people (not bots) who actually played games maybe even just post on 4chan
>that was now over a decade ago

Why the sudden hate against bad neighbourhood? Is the elite against smudge games? Why? Don't they love whore and of?

>>716297789
one is corporate, the other isn't
this only affects indie devs, not the corpos who churn out a bunch of smut games

>>716297697
Weird how nowadays indie games have publishers to deal with some of these problems, making them technically not indie

>>716297932
Well indie devs had publishers back then too but more importantly they were just a small group and the competition was 1/100th of what it as now. Now indie game is a label given to games made by studios with hundreds of people, with investors and publishers and multiple offices. I can't make sense of it.
We was robbed.

>>716297697
Oh and actually because greenlight was a thing if you made a game and published it even in early access it was going to be seen by millions of people. Maybe not purchased but definitely seen. There was like one landing page for new release indie games and even the dinkiest games were featured there and the whole world would see it. Imagine getting that visibility now with zero effort to marketing. Just click publish on steam and boom instant mass exposure.

Lads, I don't know whether I should just put my first project down. It's still in its infancy, but I think people might simply ignore yet another super mario clone.
Back to the drawing board and create a vampire survivor clone? Are they faster produced?

>>716235536
Just remember when people shit on you and review bomb your game they're not a bunch of 4chan haters; they're punishing you for being a huge fucking asshole for years and years. Just thought I'd let you know in advance. And yes, you do deserve it.

A Populous: The Beginning remake/spiritual successor. I loved this game as a kid, still do. I have a modifiable voxel planet with an animated ocean and basic terraforming tools. Textures look like shit tho

>>716296921
i mainly want to mess with open-world streaming because i want to import some terrain i've made in houdini without putting it all in ram at the same time.

>>716294007
reddit blames conservatives for some fucking reason when the group doing this shit identifies itself as feminists. It's the same people as Sarkeesian and the game journos

>>716273292
Why is the game called pogs, when the pog gameplay is such a small part? It's more of a 90s simulator than a pog game

And you're doing the same thing, they are self-proclaimed conservatives but you just simplify it to "leftie women"
