Thread 723236430

Post your progress! Be friendly.

I'm at work and I haven't done anything :(

I can't tell the difference between AMD Graphics & Nvidia Graphics.

any game devs explain why?

Over the last 3 days, I made an NPC model for my level. The level is "Mt. Energy" and it's a world with solar panels and wind mills and a Geothermal Energy plant, so, I decided to make the people who live in the level cartoony batteries.

I also entirely redid a huge chunk of my "Event Engine", just so I could use it to turn the character to make him face you and change animation while you talk to him. The event engine is WAY more robust and open, as it can call functions held within the NPC or Player, as opposed to only a couple specific scripts.

>>723236495
What do you mean? In what context?

>can't draw
>can't 3d model
>can't compose music
>can't write a relatable story because I never dated any girl
>can't learn because I'm not kid anymore
it's owari da

In a time long before the Ur-Xzenesian Dragons walked the Earth, the Daimon had a colony on what is now Frydar Island. After a war caused them to disappear, the Daimon left behind their technology, with their Daimon Cannon falling into the hands of the Primordians.
>>723237114
That looks cool. I like it.

I've spent like 400 hours learning art and pixel art and I'm still not ready...

a lot of bug fixing and quality of life stuff recently, made a pie background too

Got the basics of building and NPC jobs and routines in yesterday, will work on tiding up how things fit in your hand and some animations for the player today

i have spent the past 4 weeks mostly building and rebuilding my event pipeline and i think its finally good enough. i kept telling myself that im over doing it but then when i finally use it to do something its trivial and it just fucking works. i look forward to it being a crippling bottleneck in the future

I'm still busy at the design-programmer part on how to go about simulating sex.

Easy mode: locations with object insertions just like Super Deepthroat did which only checks for how far to the left the cock is and how big the object is. No physics

Hardmode: simulate epithelial cells which bump into each other(still easy) and stretch out(hard as shit) and simulate vibrations(also hard as shit) in order to indirectly touch the clitoris organ through these epithelial cells and the "g spot" g spot being such an opening or much fewer conglomerate of epithelial cells. Physics galore.

Don't even ask me what I'm supposed to do for the animations. AI generation seems to be the only answers for graphics and moans.
Would it fucking kill them to give me PSD files already with separated layers so I don't have to separate them myself??? same for image to video generation.

>can't learn because I'm not kid anymore
This has been said in these types of threads so many times it's become a meme. Stop saying that. You can learn anything at any age. It's not as easy, but if climbing Mt. Everest was easy, it wouldn't be worth climbing.

>>723237865
The creators of Homestar Runner had never animated before. They just up and one day made a cartoon with no idea how to do it. Now, after years of just up and doing it, Matt Chapman is helping to develop cartoons on Disney and voiceacting all over the place in basically any kids cartoon you can pull up, and has been for the last decade. Your 400 hours are MORE than good enough to start. Learn while doing. You will not be perfect at first, but diamonds are only made when put under pressure.

>>723237718
This legitimately looks like a 90's cartoon CG Villain, akin to Reboot. I know that's the aesthetic you're going for, so, good work.

Hey guys!
I found a silly bug in my targeting system that was removing all but 1 enemy from the target array. I ended up reversing the loop that checks dead actors so it decrements the index starting from the highest number, and that solved that issue.
Now that I have the framework for most of the demo now I am working on the quest and exp managers. Quests will have bonus based on the approach taken and a new skills menu will be made soon so allocate skill points. This in turn adds combos to basic attacks, passive element bonuses, and more.

>>723238256
lmfao shut the fuck up you fucking faggot

It looks nothing like reboot, reboot knew how to actually model and not just stretch spheres into shapes.

>>723236430 (OP)
I am very clumsy when it comes to building a level so I made some extra building tools to speed up the process. webm rel shows autotexturing tool that will detect logic ground or passable platform and apply selected sprite.
Next is a similiar tool that will repeat a pattern of sprites, it shows floor tile and then a pattern of blank spaces and sewer grate.
Background is another layer that usually repeats through the whole level and I can now modify its look in real-time. It's still clumsy but it's still mch better than what I had before.
Added shadow texture that is applied automatically to any platform or ground with passable areas under it. It's very simple but make the game much more pleasant to the eye.
Lastly there's also an option to remove selected sprites. It can speed up cleaning layers and can be used for fast sprite-switching.
>>723237962
Now that's very impressive. Are you planning to implement karma system so killing your NPCs isn't just a happy pastime?

My first game launches in 2 weeks, gamers!
Only 260 wishlists and I know it won't be a hit, but I'm very proud of it and myself for following through.
I'll still probably email a bunch of streamers to see if they'll play, but otherwise this was a great practice run for my next games

>>723238256
The interesting thing is that the Daimon, despite their monstrous name and appearance, were known only as spacefarers who were combatants in a war eons ago, with nobody knowing if they are the initiators of the war or mere victims. The Daimon Cannon gives the only insight into the lives of the Daimon for the Frydarians.
Now, if you want to see what pure evil looks like, this is what she looks like. She's racist, condescending, treacherous, and vain (not helped by the fact that most of the Frydarians revere her for her alien beauty).

>>723238784
Talk about psychopathic behavior lol

>>723238969
>karma system
I'm hoping to have multiple systems that react to the player that alter some bonuses/penalties.I was thinking Life/Death, Peace/War and Magic/Industry but I haven't really planned it out yet so I might change my mind.
Cool level editor, I like the artstyle too

Working on some new music for my cozy puzzle game

>>723239943
I'm curious: how does your game know which words are valid? Can you play "kwyjibo"?

>>723240043
I found an open source scrabble solver and took their word list. It's about 300,000 words. I store it as a set on boot for fast lookups and compare anything the player tries to play to that set. The word list wasn't perfect, there were some words I had to add from testing, but it's worked pretty well so far

>>723240267
Good to know. Thank you.

>>723241931
what are your skills anon?

added a combat manager so a group of 6 enemies don't all attack at the same time etc. also sketching some combat-music, but not really feeling it desu
https://voca.ro/1nUej6Wh3OnA

>>723241931
How would you even go about doing that? a bunch of anonymous people on here together building an engine? Would it be a Git that we all alter together? We're all anonymous here, what it to stop a grifter from coming in and fucking up the entire project? How would you handle multiple people having a conflict of vision, when it's a bunch of people, all anonymous and doing whatever?

I think that's a terrible idea, anon, but I would love to be proven wrong.

Yeah you're never going to finish your game. This is dumb and unnecessary.

This is why porn games are dogshit.

>>723242617
There is literally no benefit to implementing all that shit you mentioned.

>>723242679
This is why porn games are dogshit. Also I'm not that anon.

I'm commissioning a bunch of art for a single minigame. Not even 1/3 done with the commissions for it. After that I'm going to have to find an animator of some kind, at least for an intro/credits, and get a new trailer set up. I've fully decided not to have voice acting due tot he technical and money costs involved.

The game I'm working on has become much more of a risk involved for it to become marketably viable and for it to be the best it can become.

my drawing skills are the equivalent of a toddler's
how the fuck do I learn how to make assets? even making sprites looks impossible to me

>>723242220
You mean dumb and introverted or genuine speds?

>>723242872
sprite resource exists.

There's no point bros, nobody will even play my game, in fact my game won't even be seen. I might as well not even make it.

>>723242791
Will you consider releasing the source code when you run out of money?
Also AI voices have become way better than anime dubbings and autistic Deviantart fatlards pretending they're "expert" voice actors.
You know those music producing AIs? you can order it to just read in a normal speaking voice.

Just a video this time, everything is AI slop until we've overhauled it pls no bully

bioshock + lethal company + water physics set in an underwater lab where every bullet hole needs to be covered or you all drown

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgKGyV0zyw0

>>723243269
I had a similar idea about a sinking ship game using the same water physics plugin as you and the conclusion I came to was you couldn't have a really multilayered environment (i.e. multiple floors with rooms stacked ontop of each other) because it was a heightfield simulation and would break. Have you managed to fix that issue?

>>723243080
forgot the vid
>>723243256
Hot vs cold could lead to some interesting concepts and gimmicks

>>723243007
>Will you consider releasing the source code when you run out of money?
I'm trying to keep everything under a certain budget, it shouldn't go overbudget at least. And my current main source of income has given me much more than what I need to finish the game a while ago.

The problem is many strings in the game for dialogue can be changed on a whim, so it would cause a couple of months to implement it. I might end up doing it if I could do it locally and it doesn't sound like ass.

>>723242791
>I'm commissioning a bunch of art for a single minigame.
if its your first game you need to design it so you can minimalize art cost, you dont need a maximalist presentation, just look at heartbound

>>723243580
nice lighting. it's more of a water/fire dichotomy, but yeah there is still a lot of unexplored territory here

>>723243576
We'll just cull the one the player isn't seeing or interacting with, and make it so that only one heightmap can be "active" at one time. The simplified heightmap is then just a simple float (0,1 -> 1) that recalculates the water surface once you see it again

>>723243096
I think it's cute

>>723243882
Yeah I'm not sure that'll work in most scenarios unless you limit the flooding on a room per room basis.
But I wish you best of luck anyway. It's a concept I'd love to do myself.

>>723243269
>everything is AI slop
you mean everything, like the shooting, the camera and the levels
like you didn't film anything from a game engine?
AI is pretty powerful...

>>723244493
more like the enemies (metahuman) and creatures and some props (meshy), env art is placeholder

>>723244598
okay, got a little scared
thought a terminator just might walk in my home next

>>723242746
Are you saying implementing cell-level interaction will "somehow" make porn games not dogshit?
There's the "game" aspect, and then there's the "porn" aspect. How would you design a not-dogshit porn game? Indulge me because I enjoy this kind of discussion.
I'm a bit sleepy so my reading comprehension is off in interpretingyour post

If my game becomes a code mess and somewhat unmanageable.
Should I start again?

>>723238737
Outside of questing, and sorry for the trace cancer onscreen, here is the new active target system. Instead of statically grouping targets with r3, now groups are dynamically created based on distance (and a timer by function) and will auto update as needed and auto untarget when -1 returns if targeted and you leave the distance threshold.

>>723244762
Nah. Just refactor often and learn how to encapsulate your code.

Don't you guys feel bad letting a soulless AI make all your "art" for you?

>>723244993
sometimes you need a good point to start on, you can always overhaul later. i can spend more time prototyping gameplay while still getting the "mood" right, if that makes sense?

>>723244762
I'd say start over, but you should try to fix as much of it as possible for practice.
Make a backup if you haven't and go to town. Destroy every item/enemy/etc you have and try to reimplement just few of them in a clean way, keeping in mind what you'd need for the particularly demanding variants.
Hell, by doing that you might actually manage to salvage it too.

>>723244173
In a retarded toddler who never learned his ABCs kind of way.

>>723238737
>>723244775
Interesting stuff. I look forward to playing your game's demo.
>>723244993
I don't use AI because AI could never, in a million years, come up with this.

>>723244993
No, the same way I don't feel bad using a soulless computer instead of using soulful paints filled with deep history, textures and smells.
Why don't you use soulful paints and take soulful analogue photos for your art assets? Why are you using programmed "brushes", "layers" and soulless "tools"?

You anti AI fags are all hypocrites because the above arguments was used against digital art in the exact same manner. At the end of the day, not using AI art puts you at a disadvantage because everybody else is doing it, until businesses stop selling their AI at a loss, use it.

>>723244758
I am THAT ANON. The point which everybody misses is that horror and porn are not themes. They're genres and genres require intrinsic mechanics. Horror requires a normal man's life with heartbeat/sanity meter before the actual creepy stuff happens. You just want to do your fucking job and this supernatural bullshit won't let you. That's an intrinsic mechanic and structure separate from atmosphere.

Porn is not right if it's "Platformer, card game, Minecraft, Deus Ex, Skyrim, Fallout" but with "Click next for the next animation" just like the cliche "Get defeated to access porn"
How about ... wait 5 minutes to get defeated to get porn? How about that? Rocket science, am I right?
Porn is biology and thus requires its own mechanics just like water physics >>723243269

>>723245507
But it looks like shit... It's just an aggregate of different data that it was trained on. At least using brushes and such, your hand is actually painting every pixel or placing every vertex. That's where soul comes in and AI will never have it. Games are an artform like any other and if all you think about is gaining an "advantage" in the market then clearly you have no soul to begin with.

>>723244993
No, I want to use AI to make something good. I don't like using the art because it takes a while to get a good reference image inline with other aspects of the other assets. I have more time to work on gameplay while I slowly build blender experience with AI assets or free ones. This way im not wasting time since I am learning something at all times.
To me it is no different than pirating photoshop learning it well then buying a real copy when the money is there.

>>723244993
personally I use it solely to get an idea for like a visual or as filler when testing or fucking around with scripts. same shit as making placeholders to me

>>723245507
I think AI is good when it brings the results.
It just doesn't 99% of the time.

It CAN be good, but you need both the underlying skills to tell if the output is good, and patience to master using it.
Most AI fags don't have the former, and artists who do don't have the latter.

>>723245558
>Porn is biology and thus requires its own mechanics
Explain what is the benefit of this to the gameplay and the end-user, and how this makes a positive difference compared to "do x to get animation".

>>723245473

>>723244758
I mean Super Deepthroat let you manually shove your cock in a girl's mouth till she fainted. Why can't more porn games be like that?

>>723246154
>I mean in the end you want to reach the visual audio stuff, you want to reach the atmosphere to feel horny and coom/climax. How does knowing how a car engine work help you become a better driver?

You see, we assume a basic modicum of interaction and biology such as dick goes in pussy and we must create the stats just like a car video game such as friction, stretchiness, handling which actually affect the end result.

If we ERP then what is keeping me from just saying "She can totally take a 20 inch dragon dick up her faggot ass?" "What even is the difference between an ass and a pussy? does it not get the same results?"
What is keeping me from just saying "I roll D20 for 20 inches yet she is unaffected?"
>That's exactly what I'm trying to ask

WE ASSUME WE HAVE ENOUGH MANPOWER to AUTOMATICALLY simulate the audio visual medium for each girl to have different stats and interact different with your cock's different stats WHICH YOU MAY CHANGE(just like you can play with many Pokemons and many RPG characters with advantages/weaknesses)

>But Octopi and squids despite being the most intelligent creatures in the ocean still die after 5 year sand get killed by creatures infinitely dumber than them.
Then we just give the Octopi both dumb luck/high effectiveness rolls and high intelligence.
Car video games don't make you assemble the car from 0, right? you buy the engine prebuilt, right? But you still have at least 3-5 stats including weight which helps you immensely, right? Why buy carbon parts if you don't care about weight? Carbon isn't just for show.
Just like a cock's hardness isn't just for show and each girl has different preferences for cocks.
We must build the basic mechanics before we advance to the next level.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP3xkaNqYcg&list=RDodfCTFPyZCo&index=6

>The next level? What are you referring to? Fucking multiple girls?
No. How fucking the girl impacts her relationship and actions with you.

>>723245558
>Porn is biology and thus requires its own mechanics

>>723245938
>soul
Come on anon, my point was to highlight how arbitrary your notion of soul is.
You claim it has soul because you're using a computer algorithm to mimic all of your brush strokes but intentionally ignore the comparison between how that is less soulful to paints with histories behind them, different paint textures, different brushes evolved over history and the more senses involved through smelling and touching.

Don't make an argument about something arbitrary like soul. Argue about it's output and as you said, it is usually shit. But shit is good enough for prototypes and one of textures on things no one is meant to focus on.

It's not about gaining an advantage either, it's about using the tools avaliable to you hence why I intentionally mentioned using AI _while_ it's being sold at a loss. Not using AI for prototyping and throw away art is the same as not using a game engine, if you're an artist that's fine but if you're making a game, you have to be more than an artist in the same way making an engine is good if you're not trying to actually make a game.

>>723246140
This is the only valid critique against AI art. The output.
Though I'll correct the "artists who don't have the latter" into hobby artists. Everyone studio is using AI art as part of their development cycle, it's the hobby side of art and anything that uses art that is intentionally being ignorant on using it.

>>723244993
But I don't use AI art as I don't need it. I use AI voice acting instead. Since I can't realistically do every voice I want myself.

>>723237114

>>723242348
God, I love your enemy design. I love that you fight a wood stove, ha ha. That's awesome. your animations are top notch as well.

>>723243580

>>723244775
Oh, hey, it's AI guy. Looking great, as always. How much AI do you use in your game? Is it only the models/animations, or is is the coding as well? Very fascinated with the design process of your game.

>>723248126
good on you for proving it isn't, and i get you're trying to imitate that early 3d game render style but it's so amateurish it looks like grok made it. id spend more time improving your art skills. its hard but if you do it consistently youll get it eventually

>But anon !! It's just text
No! it won't be just text !! there will be heavily atmospheric graphics and heavy sighs and they'll differ slightly from how you fuck the girl in relation to your cock's size and her pussy canal.
We have the technology.
We build it better, faster, stronger.

Listen to me. There's an obvious difference between hack n slash video games and RPGs, right? Right.
Not every video game is a basic bitch DnD diceroll with your DM telling you "you land a critical hit", right? Right.
A fighting game does not play like DnD, right? right
A FPS game does not play like DnD, right? RIGHT.
So the same logic applies to sex games that they must play like an actual sex simulation and not a "click 1-9 and change speed to fill up the bar to continue". Do you click 1-9 through animations and roll dice when playing racing game, hack n slash, fighting games and shooter games? NO. So a sex simulation deserves and needs more detail for the actual sex/biology otherwise you might as well just watch a porno click next, next, speed up or slow down the video to pretend it's a video game. Keypoint in a video game being interaction, not watching.

No, you're just making excuses for your unwillingness and inability to make anything better. It objectively looks like shit. It's the 3D equivalent of Chris-chan art. Any normal person would be ashamed to even think of showing something like that off.

youll always wonder what if about a million different things, who cares if anyone plays it? youll always have looking back on the experience and being able to actually play something you created over the what ifs.

You're crashing your 82nd /v/ gamedev thread and posting shirtless pics of yourself in agdg. You aren't striking nerves, you've worn peoples nerves out completely. For what.

>>723250062
Sure, whatever. They look like giant tits. Fits the rest of your extremely homoerotic design sensibility.

>>723242348
>but not really feeling it
Make the non-attacking enemies circle around you or do attacks that purposely miss or something.
Even if they're not "attacking" it should still feel like they're engaged with the player

>>723250295
>For what
It's a small price to pay for success. Just look at how good his game is doing.

I want to make a game so bad but I have no ideas. I learned godot and rpgmaker over months but I have no idea what to make with them.

Sure man! It is a little bit of work but it involves importing the meshes and cleaning them up such as selecting all outside faces and deleting all duplicate ones, and separating parts based on my leaderpose components such as the helmet gauntlets, etc. Ill use knife cuts to try and get the smoothest break between pieces, separate, dupe, then re join and merge by distance the original parts i edited with the extra piece still separate so i can cut say the forearms lower and set weight paint to match the small overlap on the gauntlets. The leggings are static and I just swap the materials for each set. This makes cutting the boots seamless as long as I get the leggings merged in the center and under each armor set.
Chest pieces i cut out all the inside and trim around the thigh armor pieces to make room for the leggings.
Normally I use A-pose figures as they tend to deform the least. I separate major parts, bind everything separately to a skeleton then set weight paints on everything in a specific group. So leggings dont get groups for a hand for example. This way the armor doesnt stretch weird. Then i combined all the larts that arent meant to be separated lioe the pauldrons and shoulders but this helps with animations.
Unreal has decent sculpt tools and I can see my edits in real-time on my actor so I know what I need to tweak, to help with clipping.

Code is 95% me 5% asking ludus/google for help on a roadblock. Like I figured out how to scroll up and down in my inventory and built checks to scroll all the way up or down without rollikg over the item index (causing a huge leap to the top). Ludus helped me stop scrolling when off the scroll box when scrolling through equipment slots by building child-parent references to the widgets in question.
Here is the whole targeting code. Too small I know.

>>723250472
i'm on it. fake attacks are a pretty good idea. for now they just move to a random location when they don't have "permission" to attack.

>>723250946
He stopped developing his """MMO""" to keep tabs on me.

Today it got me. A unique game idea, I'm quite sure you'd want to play.
Fiddled around in ChatGPD over it to give it a basic shape.
Now I'm creating a deep concept design.

My plan is to take that concept to Fiverr and find a guy who can code it for about 1000$, after that, find a guy who market it for 100$(average prices I've seen on Fiverr).

Badabing badabum. Spread fun around the world and earn a million bucks.
Could this work?

Eww dogshit.
Learn Starcraft 1, 2 and Warcraft 3 better if you want to make good games. The ideas will come naturally if you work with an existing framework.

>>723251243
these threads used to be the escape from /agdg/ dogshit but, not content with ruining that general, all the /agdg/ schizos/lolcows/faggots also post here now

Been finishing up a quest and dialogue system, its mostly a flexible way for me to flip flags, will be useful once I start building content.
got a little turret thing going on, hopefully the iconography is coming through.
Really gotta make some proper enemy sprites so you can tell where they intend to go or do.

>>723250932
How can you possibly want to make games without having ideas? My ideas are 100% of my motivation. That feeling of "oh, that would be fun, but i cant think of a game that does that" is why i do literally anything. Your post is perplexing to me.

>>723251526
from the prices I've seen on Fiverr, I expect 1000$ for coding 100$ for marketing

>>723251348
It's a common trend with every game that tries to escape /vg/

Can't code, but you can have my 2nd good idea. Desktop/bottomgame autorunner plattformer.
Watch something autorunning like N, Mario Bros, Super Meatboy whatever and be able to interact with it and take control over the character.

>>723251243
These threads were good until about three months ago. Someone started making them too often, but that was still bearable. I'm sure there's been some influx of new posters that responsible for this permanent drama, and that hurt quality way more than archiving at 100 posts.
There's a few devs still around, but most seem to have given up. Haven't seen anime desert guy or detice monster collector guy in a while, I can't fault them for leaving.

>>723251680
Watch a bunch of "I paid 5 developers from Fiverr to make a video game" videos on YouTube.
The highest prices are usually as scammy as they can get, with no way of refunding and none of them are a game worth the money you're paying to launch.
I'd go a step further and bet most of the games are copied from tutorials, open source projects or something similar.

Paying for someone to code doesn't mean anything because you're not hiring a hiring manager to inspect quality. How bad is the code going to be, is it going to make performance noticeably worse, will paying another developer cost more because the code was shit and messy?

Seriously just watch a bunch of those YouTube videos anon. Other people have already done this experiment many times over, at the very least use it for market research of Fiverr.

>>723252183
My hopes are to overcome these drawbacks with a deeply designed concept that basically covers every little detail about what should happen ingame.

>>723252086
I honestly don't care about the dramafagging I like game dev and if retards wanna shitfling in the thread go for it. I'm only posting minimal updates anyways.

>>723252315
It doesn't matter what your concept is because they know that they can completely ignore that, get paid and continue with life. Just watch some videos on it and every little thing you think you can to do mitigate the result, will sober you up.

For 1k you could load up Unity, learn Unity for free and then buy a bunch of high quality systems to help you make the game.

He sounds like he is just wasting your time man. My game literally started with a question: how do I equip a sword and put it on my back? And I chased that question.

>>723252086

What do you want to play? If your answer is "nothing" then maybe you're spending too much time on /v/ feeling burnt out and depressed instead of playing vidya, maybe playing some vidya you haven't played yet will get the inspiration going. I don't know what you play, but maybe if you're just doing dailies in some live service these days then you're in a rut and something classic and single player would help you get inspired.

I don't see the issue with Fygoon's thing.

>>723255895
>Is yours 2D or 2.5D?
3D environments, 2D sprites. Pic rel is what I'm currently working on, hand drawn sprite, textures are AI placeholders.

At first I used bone animation which is UTTER FUCKING BULLSHIT. Had to do multiple from-scratch rewrites of the animation system because how poorly my enigne handles this. In the end I assembled the sprites in godot and did the animations there, then use a script to render it to a traditional sprite sheet. Been at it for at least two months, but I had to take frequent breaks to maintain my sanity.

Right now I'm working on the last few frames of walking(looks ok for 1 step, horrendous when it loops). I've decied combat will be mostly stills and particle effects. You need a lot of frames for fluid sprite animation and I'm already looking at 2MB per sprite sheet.

Gonna try to make my entire game in it, like UEBS2 did before the dev ran away with the money.

Not sure how I will handle the part where you send the objects' position to the actual rendering part of the GPU.
Doesn't like there is a convenient "you already have all the matrices in buffer #69420" system, but doing a round trip between extracting the positions then re-sending them to the GPU via the usual rendering APIs seems like a giant fucking inefficiency.

Fygoon, when are you going to make the comic for Frydarian Tale? I think it would be wicked cool to see Joey Fygoon in graphic novel format. Also, will it be part of the main story of Frydarian Tale or will it be side-stories and maybe spinoff characters? I would love to see more of that world become fleshed out.

>When you are a literal nobody indie dev your public image does matter.
Unfortunately for him, his public image is already in the gutter and unsalvageable. All the shit he's done on here will come and bite him in the ass once he goes public, and he won't get a fraction of the success he dreamed of. It's sad honestly, but this is all by his own hands.

Remember the Golden Rule: Do to others as you would have them do to you.

That is still absolute minuscule amount of people who know you. And keep in mind they know you because of your behavior and not because of your game dev talents. Try peaking outside of this little basket weaving forum and realize that you are in fact: A nobody

Fygoon sucks.

>>723264260
Yeah proof pretty much that he never intended to end up like this but he just can't stop spending all day antagonizing 4chan. The new release date is "who cares". The game is just a prop to him now to aggravate people who are tired of seeing his spam.

This place was supposed to be a refuge from the sewer of /agdg/. Unfortunately they brought their contamination here too. Fygoon, fygoonhaters, they are all the same, worthless loudmouths braying for attention. And now this thread will go the way of /agdg/ thanks to these human trashfires. The sanctity of this place has been fouled.

>>723264804

>>723264804
yeah fuck agdg, what a bunch of trooniefags

>>723264804
>they brought their contamination here too
they don't have a gamedev thread, so they decided nobody else can't either. It's toddler behavior, but what can you expect? they are talentless retards

>>723265105
so true fygoonsis

>>723264804
No wonder devs who actually make it scrub their /agdg/ involvement off (FlyKnight). No idea why Peripeteia bothers putting agdg in the credits

will Fygoon acknowledge us when he finally makes it? I sure hope he does, because out of all devs on 4chan, I think Fygoon has the highest chance of success.

Save us General GREX!

>>723265335
Did FlyKnight even make it tho? How many copies did he sell

I'm not fygoon and made the thread under the pretense we should be. I get it's muh 4chan culture but it gets tiring being accused of being him all the time.

nearing 3 weeks on this project
so far, inventory is done, basic character model and character controller with 6 out of 8 directions animated, basic target dummy enemy works

will try and get a simple prototype done in the next 3 weeks with at least one enemy which can harm you, maybe one room with some environments and clean up the animations so the character moves nicely.

Anyone who prioritizes soundtrack over anything else wouldn't produce anything of value.
Even concernedape who started out as a musician worked on the aesthethic first before music, because he knew soundtrack is very very low on the priority list.

I’m considering killing myself to make my game popular
>what if it doesn’t make the game more popular?
well I wouldn’t know it because I’d be dead
I call this a win-win situation

>>723267282
Sound interesting and just... like my game too.. pseudo sandbox horror inspired by voices of the void, with days and events, not sure about progression though. In Votv they have a shop where you can buy stuff to entertain yourself but I'm not sure about myself, I was thinking something along the lines of barter exchange l since it's a hunting games and all... With some sacrifices... obviously.
Good luck with it! Don't be procrastinating...like myself..

Also 30 and your opposite: professional dev learning art. Keep at it anon and don't be discouraged. Programming is easier to learn than art, and players won't care about bad programming but will balk at bad art.

I mostly fuck around in Unity and make things that I think are cool. Someday I will turn them into a game.

I didn't expect to get stuck picking fonts of all things but I am. Genuinely feels like all the ones I pick feel out of place.
How do you know what font is good for your game's UI?

>>723268392
past 30, over 10 years, unemployed, never had a gf, never will, given up

>>723269513
will your UI have a ton of writing? worst case you can draw/write them by hand and use images instead of font/strings

>>723269454
here you go. i dont claim its good, but its a nice model i was able to make

>>723269632
Quite a bit. Other than dialogue, there's a lot of abilities with different effects since its an RPG. So I can't really get away with images.

>>723269715
I am sure anon means creating one reference sheet from which you then pick each letter to create text. That can kinda work for retro style games where shitty graphics is part of the package, but for anything else you should use vectors.
Which puts you just one step away from actually making your own font, which is entirely doable with free programs like inkscape. On an RPG you likely want to learn how to make SVGs anyway because you will need icons for all sorts of things, from status effects to elements or item types.

>>723269687
Thanks for sharing! It is pretty good indeed. If it's at that camera distance then any kinks in the topography like elbows, knees, and armpits won't be visible.

how would you check if player can get off a ladder once he has climbed down on it? my player enters and exits onLadder state using OnTrigger func. this works fine when player climbs up because trigger volume simply ends, but climbing down he gets stopped by the floor and can't leave the ladder trigger.
>unity
>charactercontroller

>>723271292
Use a raycast pointing down to check if there is floor below. If there is, let him leave. Or better yet allow the player to drop from the ladder whenever he wants.

Back in my days, there were like 2-3 fygoon posts and maybe 100 Nortubel posts and it became Nortubel's blog at some point.

I haven't been impressed by any games here in a long while. Last game was probably Vividlope. That was over a year ago.

>>723272561
I dont expect anyone to like dark souls clone 9,000 but I'm enjoying the dev process and making it something more than some asset flip.

how hard is it to obtain an official console devkit or testkit if I've only released one game on steam?

>>723272561
Are you looking for something unique like Vividlope? People like to make what they like to play and something different is hard to come by

>>723267714
try this?

>>723271870
but all floors are named differently. (Floor, Floor (1), etc)

>>723273248
not super hard but you need to at a minimum have an official company and they cost money

>>723273930
that shouldn't matter. raycasts check based on layer, not name.

>>723273248
I was able to get a Switch dev kit without ever releasing a game, also I never responded to their emails about paying for the switch devkit so I got it for free although I'm probably banned for life from ever publishing anything on a Nintendo console. Microsoft doesn't require a devkit to publish, and Sony requires around $1,000 up front to access the developer portal which I'm not paying.

>>723273248
I got the ps4 devkit before my game released but this was in 2017. idk if things have changed

>>723274180
>>723274485
do you get to keep them for personal use too or are you required to return them to Sony or Nintendo after some time?

>>723274584
the ps4 kit was a rental. I think its possible to purchase them, but I'm not 100% sure. all said and done I spent around $1k usd for access to the kit for 2 years.

>>723271292
>my player enters and exits onLadder state using OnTrigger func.
You shouldn't make ladders that way. I'm assuming you're working in 3D.
The best way to make ladders is by creating two vector3 positions, one for start (ladderStartPos) and one for end (ladderEndPos).

When player enters the ladder, disable your locomotion state, them enable the ladder state.
When in ladder state, only allow the player to move up and down towards the two vector3 positions you made earlier
Movement is constrained so the player never leaves the ladder area automatically, moving up = player moves toward ladderEndPos and moving down = player moves toward ladderStartPos

For exiting the ladder, make another vector3 called ladderExitPos, make this vector3 offset from the ladderStartPos by some random amount you want. Check player's current position in the ladder state, if player's current pos is equal to or less than the ladderExitPos, make player auto-exit the ladder state by applying backwards velocity in their local Z.

Ignore the other guy saying to use raycasts, you don't need to be using that, and you don't need to use triggers. Using Vector3's to control your ladders is more modular and lets you create ladders faster than manually setting up triggers or raycasts.
The logic also works for both 2D and 3D games.

>>723277359
No, I mean post a picture of your game in-engine.
By the way, you don't jerk off to Alice, you shitpost with her. Weirdo.

>>723277340
idolshit I used to play could have 500 notes on 2 minute song on hardest difficulty, but it used touch screen instead of arbitrary keyboard buttons (which is harder)

>>723277686
Yeah, I just compared mine to a few random Guitar Hero III songs, and the number of notes per second in mine isn't very different from the others. But maybe it's different with a keyboard. Some people have told me the game is too hard, and I'm trying to figure out what to do.

>>723277340
The note number is fine because the song pacing is incredibly slow
Going from the way that guy looks, that song could be a medium difficulty song in a Rhythm Heaven game

can a godot pro show me how to solve this stupid problem

i have an animationplayer single clip, on the frame where the models foot hits the ground, i call the footstep sound play()
simple enough, works great

now heres the problem, i add in an animationtree blend 1d so i can get idle/walk/run in one go
except when then player is blending between walk and run the stupid engine is playing all the anims at once so play() is being called 3x every single time the player takes a step
no, im not hard coding goddamn timers for this
fuck this engine

>>723276456
This looks so good! What's this game? What is it about?

Please, dev, if you are still here, I would like to learn more about this game. It looks very impressive, I like the effect for the sword swing!

>>723278959
It's The Frydarian Tale, an action-adventure computer game. I can ramble on about it, sure, but it would be better if you just downloaded it here:
https://fygoon.com/game.html

>>723278768
Ah the mistake you've made there is trying to make a 3d game in godot.

Theres a small youtuber I watch called fairfight who had to write his own animation framework using skeletonmodifier3d because Godot's 3d animation tools are complete ass. If you can understand the Russian accent it might be worth watching some of his videos to see how he went about getting OK 3d animation blending results.

But yeah if you've got the function call on every animation, you have to play all the animations to blend them, it's doing what it should do and calling the function. You could have some debouncing checks in the function itself to see when the last time the function was called and return early without playing a sound if the time since the last call is less than 0.2 seconds or something

>>723279079
Don't download this shit, dev is a lolcow and who knows what they snuck into the download

>>723279079
I'm not into clicking links, I'd rather you ramble about it within the confines of this site. So, please, go ahead and tell me all about your game.

>>723279653
Sure.
In a time far from our own and atop the sea that floods the world, there was Frydar Island. This land is inhabited by a variety of talking animals and fairy tale creatures, with the masters being the Dragons. You play as Joseph Fygoon, most supreme of the Dragons and ruler of Frydar Island. Because he ascended to the throne at the age of ten, Fygoon was never formally trained for his duties in court outside of what his mentor, Minister Shen, knows. Reading a variety of chronicles in his fortress's library, Fygoon learnt of the conquests and adventures of his forefathers and seeks to have a similar adventure to emulate them. Since peace reigned on the island, this forces Fygoon, alongside his peasant friends Alois Ratatosky and Balthazar Lux, to begin fights against the people of his kingdom. The Viceroys who serve Fygoon became irate with these transgressions (not to mention Fygoon running off from kingly duties to go on these frivolous adventures), with certain others being especially spiteful.
One day, while Fygoon is out on yet another adventure, an enemy similar to those encountered by his forefathers appears and singlehandedly wipes out an entire administrative region. As Fygoon continues on his frivolous adventure of the day, the invader works with the Viceroys the Dragon had wronged in order to use their power and armies to usurp the Dragon and take over the land.
It is up to you, as Fygoon, to finish the frivolous adventure and save your kingdom.

There aren't any difficulty settings, so this is basically what I'm going for. I used to play SHITLOADS of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but that was a long time ago.
This webm is for the first level of the game, and it's a bit faster paced. The song is 88 seconds long, and has 201 notes. The other webm is for the second level.

>>723262297
Yeah, maybe. I kinda just slapped the orb together to emphasize the casting action. I'm still working her out, but she's going to be some type of flesh sorceress, so my mind went "blood magic" when I made the orb.

Is making an rpg/dungeon crawler with a big story and randomized dungeons too much for one single person?

I think Fygoon is the worst dev here!!!!

>>723278768
I assume you are calling play() from an AudioStreamPlayer. According to the docs (https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_audiostreamplayer.html#class-audiostreamplayer-method-play) calling "play(from_position: float = 0.0)" plays a sound from the beginning by default. And since you are playing all 3 animations with this function, it makes sense that it is called 3 times.

What you want to do is make sure it doesn't reset while already playing. Make your own function in your player's script that only plays the sound once it has ended, and call that instead of the default "play()"

>func play_footstep():

>>723280465
That current webm is much harder than the previous webm because of all the double taps and the section from 0:25 - 0:41
The previous webm looked like something I'd see in Rhythm Heaven but that current webm looks more like Guitar Hero for sure

Your difficulty design is all over the place if you want that current webm to be the first level, that kind of design is for when the player is expected to be familar with the game already since you want them to deal with extended chains, unless you're specifically designing the game for people who have already played tons of hours in Guitar Hero and not the generic player who might not have much experience in rhythm games or only plays casual ones like Rhythm Heaven

That current webm is more late early game, for when you want to ease the player into the midgame songs that will be more difficult

>>723284694
That's kind of what I was afraid of. So what should I do? Remove some of the notes (especially the double-tap ones)? I could also just decrease the amount of health that you lose each time you miss a note, and increase the speed your health regenerates at.

Double taps and the chain section from 0:25 - 0:41 aren't the problem, it's the spacing of them and the bpm of the song

If you want to keep the current bpm, then you'd want to space out the notes more so it's more easily readable. People who have played lots of rhythm games won't find that section hard at all and will likely not miss a note, but casuals that play things like Rhythm Heaven or barely touch rhythm games will lose a lot of hp there.

If I was you I'd just move that song to a later part of the early game and make an easier song for the first level

You should look at how popular rhythm games (actual ones, not casual ones like Rhythm Heaven) introduce the player to the game like DDR, Beatmania, and Guitar Hero 1 specifically because those devs had to get the first game right in order for GH to be successful

Like look at how GH1 introduces the player to the game even if they choose Expert difficulty. Even if it's the player's first time playing a rhythm game the first song is infinitely simpler than any of your two webms
Notes are spaced very well, none of them overlap, the double taps are spaced out so you can clearly see the gap between them which makes them easier to comprehend for someone that's never touched a rhythm game in their life or has garbage rhythm in general

Sections where you hold the notes are simple as the player isn't asked to press other notes while holding the main ones etc
Just make the first level be very simple, you're introducing the basic way to play the game.
Slower bpm, more spaced out notes

got stalled on my game cause I keep making really ugly art with my mouse and I cant keep using granblue fantasy assests for my placeholders forever.

im also tempted to make a fan game of another series like Sonic or Digimon just so I can put something out there for fun but at the same time I do wanna make something actually original

how did people dox him?, asking to avoid the same fate

>>723285783
I think he uploaded a picture of himself with his face blacked out but people reverse image searched it and found his public instagram account if I remember correctly

>>723285487
>>723285682
pretty catchy tho

>>723285783
pretty sure he doxxed himself

>>723285783

He did it himself, he put his full name and face in his game page.

who is this, i come into these threads once a month-ish to talk about godot and thats it I never seen drama before

>>723286243
Who is the guy in the picture of the post you quoted? He is unrelated. That's Hirohiko Araki. He is the author of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

>>723285992
its great, does it only do short clips?
>>723286243
this was from a year ago

>>723286195
I don't know what's his deal is but if i had to guess it's a bipolar disorder fag.

>>723286502
No it can give you a pretty long song around 3-4 minutes. I just do clips of parts of them.

>>723285992
I'm not saying they aren't but it's disheartening that we're handing over creativity to a computer, i get that creators can be absolute faggots but i worry that we already saw the last generation with fresh idead, there will never be anything like garage bands, home movies or the flash animations .

I'll try this, thank you anon.

Fygoon Derangement Syndrome is a serious mental disorder that needs to be studied.

>>723287618
What's to be studied about rasko being deranged?

>>723285783
This thread has become infected

>>723287425
I dont intend on using any of it just surprised what it can do.

>>723287618
we know you're deranged, fygoon, and we keep telling you to seek help

>>723287425
I can still be creative and actually be able to judge whether what AI does is good or bad and it can also give me ideas

>>723237718
why are dragon autists so weird

>>723287531
Might also help to zoom out the notes a bit more so the player has more time to read and react to what's coming up next

>>723285139
suno seems to be better than this.

>>723288093
You will but nobody between the age of 0 and 10 right now is going to in the future.

I gave up, all my ideas are too complex for a halfwit solodev like me. I dropped my second project halfway through development. Fuck this hobby seriously.

Do you guys prefer 2D or 3D combat flight?

Are big boobs the key to character design?

>>723288871
Yes.

I added more variation for the enemies in the first stage, currently working on making a mini boss. Made more optimizations to the code to handle more enemies with the gravity system and I changed the particles effects: before they used the default particle system of Unity and now I am using the VFX graph effects.

>>723289428
this is good and all, but for a masculine focused game, it seems weird to have a FeMC. people hate anything that threatens their perception of masculinity already

>>723288464
Yeah their basic engine is, I wasnt a fan of the quality in the jazz ensemble.

>>723289687
I don't really think that's the case, I believe some players can hate a female protagonist in this kind of games because the game's violence doesn't match the attitude of the MC, but in this case the MC is a nun that shamelessly enjoy being violent and inflicting pain to demons.

>>723289687
If this was an AAA game then you'd be right, /v/ hates that, but it's an indie. It's almost expected for the MC to be female

gone on a bit a normal map kick

wanna try going on a 'new tech squinched into low formats'

>>723291549
Im kinda impressed with just how much normal maps can fake

>>723289687
People are starved for anime shooters though

So I am in the process of modeling Duke Umbra, one of the most prominent boss characters in my game, and he simply refuses to be modeled.
It's like he's cursed or something.

I made a campfire :D
Now someone just has to light it

Just curious, does her face get all bloody and hurt as your health reduces, like Doom? Never saw any other animation besides the default idle and this laughing one.

>>723292495
>Unity 310 gigabytes

>>723292758
Yes she does, but it only happen when her health (red number) goes down, when she enters in holy time she regenerates health, so if the player is not making combos, she cannot regenerate health and probably lose.

I expected blood and rougher bruises instead of small scuff marks considering how edgy/violent the game presents itself, but oh well, at least my curiosity is sated. Thanks for answering!

working on this fucking thing. this is going to be the most complicated monster in my game.

Never heard of it before, what’s it about?

No, I only draw or animate 2D.
