Thread 723555926

Devvy on the 'log
Today I thought up an easily codable and set-uppable method of heavily incentivizing my players with engaging with a certain system without failing to do so resulting in a game over, by making the consequences of having not engaged with it a chore to deal with.
Incentive to even do any of that at all will be gameplay that requires and rewards genuine intelligence and attention and a very rewarding gameplay curve the further they go with a VERY rich narrative that hooks you.

>>723556195
Well I'm vibe coding too but it's still a chore if you want it to do anything right

>>723555926 (OP)
I finally finished rigging (I think)
now
uhh
animating I guess.
Is the standard approach for animating with props and extra items to "store" them shrunk down inside the characters model until they're needed in the animation?
Or is there some way to properly sync location information and animations between separate characters to then be used at run time in engine for placing and playing back animations across multiple characters?

>>723559031
I mean, that's one way to do it. I just make them invisible until needed via code. There is no "right" way to do it.

She can now creep on enemies. Next going to try to make a sound detection system for walking and sneaking

I have also programmed jumping but im not sure if I am going to keep it

>>723559756
cool. is the new sprite your own?

I downloaded Godot 3 years ago and never did anything with it.

>>723559904
when introducing a new mechanic you want to ask yourself if this is adding or detracting from the experience you want to make.
and then actually test it. is it fun? what can you do to make it fun? is the game more fun with or without it?
there is no answer now because you have to do work to find out.

>>723560094
yeah these are my sprites. Ghost babel sprite is around 24 px. I started off doing 24 px as well for good measure but it looked really bad so now I am making it 32 px.

>>723560346
I know. The point was to add some platforming sections and adding some kind of melee weapon gameplay like Grey Fox in MGS1 integral version.
I still don't know if im doing full stealth, or a shooter, or both giving the player a choice how to play.

Characters made for a 2D platformer. Do you think they have appeal?

Found out how to improve my state machines that made my code a lot more efficient by using functions as states. Made my code for certain stuff go from unreadable to like, 1 or 2 lines.
Randomly checking up videos by some pakistani programmers really helps sometimes.
Pretty much the only thing that worries me now is just animations and music, since my game is 2D and not pixel art I'll probably just have to be smart about what I can do animation wise. Music I have no idea though.
Might just contact a guy on youtube who's music I like. Small channel but really like his musical vibe. But not until I'm further in.

>>723561526
i like them.

>>723561526
They're really cute, I dig em a lot anon.
Only thing that's kinda weird is the girl's hair being the same color and shade as her outfit.

>>723561526
Yeah, cute

>>723560919
i think something like that video would be hard to pull off in a pixel game

>>723561526
looks fine to me

My game has a bug.

>>723561936
Gamebreaking or nah? If it's something negligible, leave it for later, otherwise you may fix a bug for something you're going to change again anyways.

What do you guys think is the best amount of total party members? I want to do a four man group for combat, but do you think four is enough for party variety? Or should I shoot for 6?

>>723562238
Do you use the Tank-Healer-DPS setup like in MMORPGs? In that case: 4 or 5. One healer, one tank and 2/3 DPS.

>>723562238
It's always good to give people options. If your party size is 4, shoot for at least 6 options yeah. Especially in RPGs, there's times where people don't like to play certain characters or classes and wish they could replace them.
If there's specific roles like the other anon said, I'd say it should always be +1 to what the party needs.
If an intended party has 1 tank, make 2 tanks. If an intended party has 1 healers, make 2 healers. If an intended party has 2 DPS, make at least 3 DPS. That choice goes a long way.

My game is too big, too long. I don't want to overextend, but I don't wanna make it a short thing.
My fault for starting with adapting one of my stories into a game. I don't have the budget

>>723561557
That's good, anon. HD 2D sounds gnarly, want to see what kind of game it is.

Still making random models to test out a good 3D artstyle.
Went with a simple cell shaded look for Megumin, I think it turned out fine.

Fixed it!!!

>>723563014
Thank you. I'd be tempted to share some of the work but I'm scared people will take my ideas. While I work at a decent pace, I'm still slower than average.
I guess what I could say without giving away more is that it's a boss rush game that's less reflex based and more strategy based with some small movement

>fixed weird tugging on chest pieces by adjusting head skeleton bone with shape keys.
>Video example of mesh swapping system after picking up items. No icons have images aside from the default green image i made as i am redoing them all again.

>>723563607
>people will take my ideas
That never happens, few people feel like going through the hassle of gamedev let alone using an idea someone else is working on. Anyway, that sounds interesting, hope to see more progress from you.

>>723563032
neat!
>>723564279
darksoulsbro you really are a one man army

>>723562578
>>723562812
Yeah was trying to make it so each party member had a specific role and came up with my own sort of class archetypes mostly combining ideas from TTRPGs. Have some entertaining character ideas, think I might come up with at least two more characters.

>>723563607
Anyone competent enough to make games already has tenfold of their own ideas they can't even get to themselves so I don't get this fear

This picture illustrates my gamedev story pretty well.

>>723566868
>>723565325
it's probably a little paranoid, I wasn't this way before all the AI shit started to happen. Still rather be safe than sorry.

made this "puzzle" segment where you need to spit water on lava-generators to make them water-generators (box collisions for now). making good puzzles is hard so i wont do this often

>>723561526
they do, you can select the two characters heads and up the contrast a little though

Figured out how to do multithreaded loading in Godot 3 so I can load in other parts of a level while walking through tunnels without pausing the game. I never realized till now how utterly limited you are in level design if you don't use multi-threaded loading.

>>723565858
I appreciate it man, I still need keep up the tweaking and get cloth physics working but all in all very happy with how close all the meshes match together.

>>723561526
They're not bad but that little guy on the right is just Agumon

>>723561526
androgynous troonslop character design

>>723561526
I lile your drawing style

let's say we make a video game together. what is your skill where you are the best (at it)?

>MFW walk into a gamedev thread and it's become /agdg/ 1.5
Just gonna work on the story of Fygoon, I guess. Let's see how quickly this thread devolves into chaos.

>>723574597
I do art and i'm mediocre at it. I'll say i'm good at animation though.

>>723567361
Market early or die. Using Twitter right now is the difference between you and every other anon game.

>>723575302
Discord, I thought!?

>>723575371
Discord isn't a public post that gets wishlists. It's very easy to find a game that's 1500 wishlists from Twitter alone.

>>723575302
true. already on twitter though. will go for tiktok next when i have steampage + demo ready.
>>723575371
don't quote me on this, but discord only works if your game is online pvp or some systems-sandboxy game like minecraft/factorio where you can dripfeed new features to keep hype going

>>723575302
I might have to do a steam page soon. one year till completion, two max.

>>723575897
1 Wl converts to 0.1 buys? Discord is then to build or rather foster communities? Are there any new social media apps that are relevant for game devs, continuum maybe?

>>723567361
Keep it up bro glad to see you post a good amount of progress.

>>723576159
>some systems-sandboxy game like minecraft/factorio where you can dripfeed new features to keep hype going
Ye, that maybe true. Sandbox seems the right catchword.

OOOOHH Anon. You so handsome and smart! You send game to /v/3. You make trailer 4:3! You send by December 7 ok???? https://thev3expo.com/submit

>>723575302
>>723567361

Use Tiktok, in my case it is the one giving me more wishlist and it's easy to make content, just 8 to 15 seconds clips.

>>723577645
thanks man! i hope to grey box one more scrimblo demo level for next dd

>>723577927
aight will definitely do. what game? or if you don't want to share, what genre?

>>723577631
Wishlist to purchase is too random when devs can overprice their game then those fail to convert. In order of importance it's probably Tiktok, Twitter, YouTube, Discord in that order.

I am creatively bankrupt

>>723578131
>what game?
Guns and Nuns, I got some early wishlist from twitter (around 300) but after posting on Tiktok it grew to 2000 in less then month. Just make short video and straight to the point, otherwise people will just scroll your clips.

>>723578432
you need an idea guy

>>723578432
just replace the assets and you got it

>>723578521
thanks for the tip

>>723578432
Levels go right to left.

>>723578387
No expert, but isn't it pricey to keep up with all the professionally made content. Last time I was working in staff position, i learned that one minute of good quality will cost at least 150 bucks in production. Kinda pricey, if one has to post at least once a week (Fridays?). Multiplied with 3-5 platforms were are nearing 1000 usd per week for hello online.

Wishlists aren't power

>>723580113
pretty sure in this case the publisher scammed him and entered a bunch of bot raffles to pump WLs

>>723580113
>$12.99
shoulda been 9.99

>>723564279
>testing new combo attack animations and combo notify timings for smooth animation sequence, and unequip animations.

>>723580314
Ngl 13 bucks is really pricey. Then again, he wanted to keep 3 bucks per game. Well, wrong move on his side.

whats the best 3d godot course so i can become an thread poster

>>723577927
Question, do people just delete all their flops from tiktok/youtube shorts? Every time I look at a page, it seems that there's only videos with big numbers. Thank you.

>>723578432
Metroid-vania but with pure Mario gameplay and no RPG bullshit sounds fun for me. Also, wasn't a guy named HelloSammu making something that looked exactly like this?

gameplay loops are shockingly hard to create without making a game feel like a game.

>>723580918
>I want to make a game
>but it shouldn't feel like a game
have you considered that you don't really want to make a game?

>>723581001
I think a game feeling like a game is a pitfall. If you make a shooter and the players thoughts and feeling during the shooting sections are "I'm clicking on checkboxes to complete a list in order to progress" rather than "I'm fucking annihiliating some fucking demons" then you've failed as a game dev.

>tiktok this
>twitter that
Fuck this shit man. I just wanted to make a game, not game the satanic algorithms for a literal crumb of attention (note that I'm saying attention, not even money).
Fatfuck gabencunt really did ruin indie gamedev.

>>723581183
>If you make a shooter and the players thoughts and feeling during the shooting sections are "I'm clicking on checkboxes to complete a list in order to progress"
the entire AAA industry is working as hard as they can to put this thought into players' heads constantly, with a literal checklist on screen, numbers popping out of the enemies etc. and yet even they haven't succeeded. players still think of what they're doing as
>I'm fucking annihiliating some fucking demons

you've made up a fake problem that actual gamers (non-developers) don't encounter.

>>723580337
Do the fell beasts not cower when in the presence of a king?

> Been in menu dev hell for three weeks now

Send fucking help, I want to end it all. Making menus work and look half decent is such an insanely time consuming process. I'm so close to being done and never having to come back to this shit though

>>723581365
Not if the king is nothing more than the courtyard jester.

>>723581338
if it doesnt exist then how could modern AAA titles be chasing it?

early WoW quests are a solid example of it. Nobody thinks "woah I'm hunting boars" when they're told to go collect 10 hides.

>>723581413
I remember reading somewhere that UI should be the 2nd thing you do and the 1st should be your prototype. It's always deemed to be an absolute nightmare.

In general whats the most useful coding language to learn? I know a bit of python but i hear thats not really great for games. Im also learning blender (specifically going for a clay look) and dont want to spread myself too thin, how are you guys getting music and stuff for your projects?

It's better to just make it private as far I know like the one I have with zero views in pic related, and about "only videos with big numbers" what happens is when you make a good video with let's say more 100k views, tiktok will start sharing your older videos, so you get additional views on those too.

UI design and programming is the only thing I'm really confident. I like making them, even if it can be time consuming. Making reusable and base components and understanding how you want to set up your focus system will help a ton. Try to make shit scalable too if you can (like allow yourself to add more copies of buttons to a grid than you expect to need), even if you don't think it'll matter.

>>723567361
Good to see you're still progressing. If puzzles aren't going to be the main attraction, then make it so it's obvious what you need to accomplish, so the player doesn't feel lost or confused.

>>723581413
if you think menu dev is hell, wait until localization hell
if you haven't already designed your game around it, enjoy manually copy and pasting every string in your game

>>723584992
No one ever talks about localization. How do game devs even do it? Is there a way to implement Unicode strings or something, right now all my strings are ASCII, which means there's no way to include anything that isn't in english...

Oh man someone 5 or 6 threads ago brought up backups I just realized I hadn't had a good one in 4 weeks. Don't forget to back your stuff up boys.

>>723580113
>$15.99 Launch price

One thing I realized from releasing a game on steam is that steam users are the biggest jews going. they won't pay that much for an random indie game

Just sharing this channel with fellow Unity nerds. Learned a lot of higher-level C# stuff in there:
youtube.com/@git-amend

Also look at my game

>>723585142
Rule 1 is no dialogue in your code. You want to be calling

>>723585142
from what I've seen, localization is usually done with a CSV file with several different translations separated by comma.

>>723584978
totally agree. this will be in the next DD so i'll know then if it's obvious enough.

>>723585292
nice artstyle

>>723581413
Better that then writing hell for two months.

>>723581413
UI design was fun but I agree it can be hell.

>>723582397

>gameplay

Consider the following sentences:

This book has good bookread.

This record has good recordlisten.

This movie has good moviewatch.

So yeah, I've just made up three new words: bookread, recordlisten and moviewatch. Now these words may sound stupid to you, but that's not all there is to it. These words are also useless. To demonstrate this I'll rewrite the above sentences without using them:

This is a good book.

This is a good record.

This is a good movie.

See where I am going with this? Just keep in mind that people have been discussing books, records and movies in the English language for a long time, without ever feeling the need to invent ghastly word-constructs like "bookread", etc.

>>723583380
>>723583538
If only idea guys would have actual ideas that qualify as innovative and visionary.

>>723581413

>>723587515
Unironically using AI as a pair programmer is the best way to achieve maximum productivity, so long as you can bugfix the sometimes erroneous code. AI stomps 90% of programmers when it comes to code quality so there’s zero reason not to use it unless you’re developing brand new tech, and even then it can be used to help develop the architecture of the program

Here’s my update: I have no update
Well, I’ve sent keys to my game to 15 people now. Three responded positively and seemed agreeable.
Game is out on Thursday.

>>723584909
Can't agree on this more. My last project had so much fucking extra work because I realized I needed 2 more menu items right near launch. It was literally a couple of days of redoing animations and spacing to have room.

>>723584992
I am right on the cusp of being big enough for localization to make sense for my game. I've had just a few requests come from players so far. It would be kind of a curse if I got a little bigger and had to look into localization. The hope is it gets A LOT bigger so I have the budget to outsource it.

What's the difference?

coded in the collision for the wall/sprites, bullet travel to direction of the mouse and drew the idle sprites for both the player and the enemy. trying to hype myself up so I can draw multiple sprites with other guns but it gets damn repetitive quickly. probably post back here six hours from now if thread is still up, gotta make this function proper before making it look pretty. 1#

>>723592757
look at those bazookas

i kinda want to make a TCG game, but i have no clue how i would make an opponent AI that would be able to understand how to play well.
it doesn't help that "AI" has ruined the ability to search for helpful material on the subject since most results now are just "how to generate cards using AI" "using AI to help design a TCG" "creating an entire TCG with AI in 2 hours" ect. ect.

It is so hard to actually do development. Any advice on motivation and focus?

>>723594335
Force yourself one hour a day to do development. Whether that's coding, drawing, or modeling. No exceptions, no distractions, just one single hour.
After a few months, it becomes a habit. Then going that hour and beyond is easier.

>>723593672
I'd say it's way too early for you to worry about that. Start by making the rest of the game, and have an AI that just does random actions for now. Once you have a functional base you can make it smarter.
One way you could make it is by using machine learning. Essentially, you make the AI play against itself over and over, being given rewards for making moves that result in something good or vice versa. If the TCG you've designed is logical the AI will get good at it.

>>723592757
Everyone knows you are both a creep and a bullshitter. Why don't you go to another thread and try to start shit, maybe you'd have better luck.

>>723594335
Switch tasks when you feel yourself burning out.

>>723594335
I do a lot of little things. Like I will work on the world building and changing/updating meshes, then maybe tweak an animation, followed by fixing a quickslot ui bug. But I have general goals so I am completing tasks just not in a typical linear way.

Digimon is a significant inspiration. I wonder if people will get turned off by some of the more "borrowed" characters.

Ever since I can remember I have wanted to make videogames but have been too depressed to put anything into it
I am an adult now and things are still terrible from every angle
How do I motivate myself to achieve my dream of gamedev? Is it even worth it? Should I just an hero instead? I have tried before but i feel too stupid to understand code

>>723597946
Game dev is fun, but it requires dedication and doing things that you really hate sometimes. Maybe try making some small games and post them here.

>>723597946
Depressed people don't ask others if they should kill themselves they just do it, so either do a flip or grow a pair.

I know that feeling. I've stopped asking for ideas because it's pointless.

My current plan is to copy something but give it a cool artstyle. There are some genres out there that are fun but despite the shocking amount they all have the same boring style (with maybe 1-2 outliers a decade ago). So a stylish makeover can really set you apart. Kinda like how Persona5 was just a generic jrpg but people praised the style. If you aren't an artist this advice won't help much though.

if you're having trouble with motivation, it's simple.
you've got to have passion.
and you've got to love the process.
If you're only interested in the end result or becoming rich, you're doing it wrong.

I was doing some writing and worried about it being cringe, especially with some of my characters being either pretty silly or just edgy. But I think I'm just going to embrace it. Have a little sincerity. I hope it ends up cringe kino

>>723601212
I have the passion to make a better game than DoL because the dev ruined it and made it cringe and censored and I will make the next true and honest lolisho simulator that /v/ will talk about for the next decade.

What's a good pace? Trying to just get started and today did all the Godot tutorials up through making a 2D game. I feel like it took way longer than it should have and I feel terrible about struggling so much for making something so simple.

>>723601502
Yeah, pretty much. In order to not get a cease and desist from Devolver, I settled for more of a high contrast style inspired by 50’s noir movies, with the palette mainly focused on red-white and black colours. Was going to be a mod at first, like what Brutal Doom was to Doom, but figured I might as well get paid for it. I had the story in mind, the game’s runtime is two hours long, but with seperate storylines that majorly differ depending on the player’s choice to kill an enemy outside of the prologue. Totalling about four hours if you wanted to play through the two storylines.

>>723602505
Nice. That sounds like it'd work better as a standalone game than a mod absolutely.

>>723601531
It's a narrow path, you either make kino or end up like rasko with pure cringe.

>>723585217
this. even when I put it at 90% off for 1$, they wanted it for free and pestered me about it.

Is it a child with massive tits. Yes or no?

>>723604331
>>723604387
Rasko, as the leader of the fygoon squad i will have to release these drawings to the public when you release the game, it is regrettable but it is my sworn duty to be an antipedo to cancel you. The dream is over i hereby disband the fygoon squad.

>>723603310
Wait a minute...

>>723604553
Not my fault that's how your master designed her in his freaky favela. Once more, you obstinate pervert, is she doing anything sexual? On that note, who are you to argue about this? You're 100% the type of freak who'd say "drawn CSAM isn't CSAM" and look like this saying it.
Please do us all a favor and leave the internet. Go scream to your KiwiFarms nerds too, why don't you? Bitch.

>>723605118
>Not my fault
You went and drew it, it literally is your fault.

>>723605272
You jerk off to cartoon children so of course you're going to hate someone who is vocal about getting rid of scum like you.

>>723605118
So you're saying that in spite of the design (which you admit is sexual in nature in that very same post), you willingly drew a child with massive tits. That makes you a pedophile for drawing it.
>call you out on drawing pedophilic content
>Um actually you're the pedophile here, not me who drew it. You're 100% the type of freak who'd say "drawn CSAM isn't CSAM"
Insane levels of projection, as one would expect from a child diddler like you. I hope no school lets you within 5 km of their grounds. Disgusting fucking freak

Alright schizo, address the points directly instead of shotgunning and pulling [LITERALLY WHO #1429] as your list of accusations.
>did you draw the two drawings of the child with massive tits
>did you draw the character, knowing that the design was sexual in nature to begin with
These are simple yes or no questions. Deflecting and pulling these accusations and projections out of your ass just makes you look more insane to any sane onlooker.

>>723606501
I drew it without knowing the character's age. Upon learning the disgusting nature of the character, I had the drawings destroyed and disavowed the freak.
Of course, you're not going to listen to any of this and you're going to yap about deflection and whatnot.

>>723606774
You do know short people exist, right? Besides, it's a weird, inbred anime style where women in their 30's look the same as teenagers.
I expect you to twist my words further.

>>723606917
>You do know
You DID know she was a child and still drew it.

>>723606989
I did not and I will leave it at that. Arguing with someone whose brain cavity is filled with semen is not worth concerning myself with.

>>723605921
Perceived value is a real phenomenon. Monster Cable sold $5 audio cables for $300 and it worked because people assumed since they were so expensive they must be good (they were not).

Has any research been done statistically as to what the most purchased price point is on Steam? It seems like the data is available to figure that out and it'd probably help for pricing small indie games successfully.

>>723606835
he used AI for game assets but paid an actual artist for the character artwork and the handful of CG's, last I remember seeing.

>>723607109
>and I will leave it at that
Of course you denied it to your last breath, you chimp human hybrid. You think you will escape the consequences but the consequences will never be the same YOU DONE GOOFED.

>>723607109
Likewise arguing with someone who apparently can't tell the difference between a child and adult and proceeded to draw pedophilic content of the former, is not worth concerning myself with.

>>723606098

How many raskos does it take to change a lightbulb? One to draw the CP and the other 30 to shove their own feet in their mouths.

Dayum!

>>723609093
>draw the CP
That's literally impossible because CP is actual photographs of real children. Censoring art and treating thought-crimes as real is just plain stupid. Fiction isn't real, by your logic anyone who ever played Counter Strike should be in prison for terrorism.

cant think of much else, gameplay looks fine to me

>>723613168
I really wish you'd do something about readability. Dying and dead enemies look flashier than live threats and are even drawn on top. At least have the gibs fly in the direction of the impacting bullets so they get out of the player's way

Better. But his face still looks a bit unfinished.

>>723621928
better, but not great. all of your static elements have strong outlines while all the shit that moves, the actual gameplay stuff, has thin outlines or none at all. thats why the score is more readable than the snowballs, snowmen, and witch. thicken them bitches up.

>>723621928
I don't know man maybe try doing that thing that cartoons do where the non interactive elements are less emphasized. Like if you've ever seen a cartoon and you look at a prop and in your head you go "Oh I know the character is going to do something with that" because even though it's part of the scenery it stands out because of the way it's drawn.

>>723629824
What about it?
I don't think it's the best but it's usable and isn't an eyesore. The built in theme for game UI is disgusting though. A bunch of ugly greys.

>>723630395
I'm not either. It's kind of sad when I'm talking to indie devs about their game, I've helped them on code and systems design and then when I see the actual game it's an itch asset pack.
All that passion they talk about making their game and one of the main parts ruins it.

>>723581476
you misunderstand. AAA is obsessed with doing the opposite of what you want. they are obsessed with creating the problem you're trying to solve. they are anti-immersion. and yet gamers are still getting immersed even in AAA games. so you shouldn't worry, especially if you're already trying to avoid doing all the shit AAA does.

>>723631093
I heard "game devs" or "devas" as I like to call them, use AI in their code. Guess what? You're still a shitter if you spend all your time crafting your assets only to have AI finger fuck your game!

>>723631093
I can't explain why Godot feels so bad on an interface level. I feel like they tried to simplify everything to the extent that it actually made things much more difficult because they couldn't minimize things skillfully. I've used Unreal and Gamemaker but Godot is the only engine that's given me headaches so far

>>723632075
AI code either works or it doesn't work, that's not as bad imo. If you have AI write your inventory and it works, no one is going to care. If you write your own inventory but make the UI ugly, people care.
It's easier to get objective results with code. It's shit and a waste of time but it's at least better than the inverse.

>>723632476
There's a few addons people have made to change the theme. Can't remember one off the top of my head but some guy on YouTube has a video setting the UI similar to Unreal with an addon that makes the file browser dock collapse.
Biggest thing I hate about Godot is their testing game window UI. It use to just render the game, it was simple, worked and wasn't ugly. Now you have a bunch of Godot UI, the scaling is weird and it just feels bloated.

>>723621287
Dunno about the graphics but that's a pretty good song

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

any game devs explain why?

>>723634061
You have been posting this stupid shit for days. What the fuck are you talking about?

>>723634872
>>723634184

>>723634872
You guys develop on PC right? You use dedicated graphics cards for your workflow right? So why is the difference between brands so little in actual 3D visuals you're creating?

>>723634061
They're graphics cards, it's a matter of hardware not software. The only difference you'll see in gaming is performance.

Nvidia has better hardware for raytracing, encoding graphics good for recording the screen and by extension good for video streaming and they have DLSS on some games. They also have CUDA which literally no one in gaming uses because it's too much effort for a single platform specific performance boost.

AMD is just raw hardware. Their cards are cheaper for the same performance and have way more VRAM than Nvidia. The only thing you really lack in gaming is the raytracing performance, it's not impossible it's just not Nvidia.

If you're literally just playing video games, don't care about livestreaming, raytracing or using your computer for AI, rendering multi million particles representing a galaxy going into a black hole, some other science application, just purely gaming, AMD is technically better for your money. Though with everyone using UE5 you'd probably wish you had DLSS.

>>723635147
>it's a matter of hardware not software.
explain steam deck. its running ps4 and nvidia pc games without directx or nvidia help.

>>723634936
Because the hardware supports different APIs. The 2 most common ones are OpenGL and Vulkan, there's no graphical difference between the hardware because that would be partial support for the API and not full.
If I tell the GPU to render a red triangle spinning clockwise, if it spins counter clockwise then the support for the API I'm using isn't full support.

Which means, there's no difference because when you tell it to do a certain thing, it produces the same output. Even if internally it does different things to get there.

>>723635205
It's a custom built AMD chip that is both a CPU and a GPU. Their screen out the box is also 720p which is easier to render than 1080p, it takes less everything to render at lower resolutions. The screen size being small makes the 720p screen tolerable.

Is there a sane way to handle a state machine in Godot? Trying to make this shit easier to handle that isn't adding more to a large-ass switch statement in one script based on vars that get set when a state is entered/exited, to transition to other states.

It's not much but after abandoning it for a while I picked up work on a Mirror's Edge style first person parkour system. I got vaulting working again after it was broken for a while though it's still pretty jank and could use some more work

was the game ever made?

>>723633278
Oh yes they will. it isn't organic it is an excuse to cheat. Using AI is cheating and deserves no pay for using the answer key to make your game.

drawing asset today

>>723644810
I really like the pace of this!

>>723644748
class SpecificState extends State

Give the base class a bunch of empty methods that get called when entering, leaving, every active frame, etc. and override them as necessary

>>723644810
Nice art style.

>>723566768
can i see more of this art somewhere??

>>723646776
Wouldn't that just require a script per state? I figure that'd bloat things a bit no? Unless I can handle a group of states within each script that are related to one another, and all exit back to a state higher up on the class hierarchy.

>>723644810
I always picture the game protag having 10 or so raycasts out in various directions to check for all valid movement types to initiate+collision checks, based on the currently held keys.

Must be annoying getting it all to flow nicely from the player's perspective, without any sudden judder when engaging shit like vaulting.

>>723647640
Google "Frank Frazetta"

>>723646210
what game

>>723646484
>>723646868
thanks anons :3 for a long time I've wanted to make some sort of Mirror's Edge style game but with a brainrotted terminally online zillennial aesthetic and now I'm finally doing it
>>723647984
oh it's for sure juddery and shit right now which is something I'll have to fix. I'm still having occasional issues where the player gets stuck in the corner of a wall or gets placed in midair instead of on the ledge when vaulting at certain weird angles so it's something I need to figure out.

really struggling with combat sounds. By now I must have made 20 different hit sounds but I'm not happy with any of them lol
https://files.catbox.moe/y43mgk.webm
also right now sounds are normalized so sorry if some volumes go a bit out of hand

>>723649516
it sounds fine

>>723644810
Are you actually playing as a muppet or something or are those hands placeholders

>>723649516
I think it's pretty good.

>>723644810
I hate first-person parkour. I want to see that ass jiggle. Perfect excuse to have a fit sexy girl running around but ya'll are gay.

>>723649516
sounds pretty good to me

>>723649628
you play as a black cat who is the familiar (animal companion) of a socially stunted anime witch girl NEET

>>723649893
sounds kino

>>723649606
>>723649820
>>723649858
really? damn. Might sound weird to me after so many months of the game being mute. Dunno, but I guess I'll leave it at that since I've been trying to improve it and I've just wasted a lot of time. Thanks anons

I posted my stupid game on reddit (people on reddit deserve to die en masse btw) and the one comment I got was basically it's too hard (but in a way that belies how retarded and subhuman the users on reddit are)

point being, fuck reddit, what a shitshow.

Which one of you guys is working on the next Megabonk?

>>723645987
no... I think I'm bad at writing anything but comics for some reason. I don't say I can write good comics but I feel comfortable writing inside balloons and stuff... currently I'm trying to make a game where all dialogs are in comic form.

>>723651064
i posted m y game on reddit, someone replies saying he has some feedback but wants my email, i sent it to him and then he never sent it
>ha he has your email
grats, so does everyone that has ever visited my steam page

>>723651350
lol that's so fucking stupid though, why are they like this? mindbroken reddit faggots.

>>723649516
I think it sounds pretty good, also you gotta remember in the finished game there'll be more sounds happening like background music, player grunt noises, goblin grunts, etc

the only one that feels out of place is when the goblins hit the player's shield. it sounds like clanging on one of those big soup pots. idk, I think it should sound "thicker" or "meatier"

>>723651256
play this
>>723583202

>>723651256
fishlegs used to make viral games alot, haven't heard of him in a couple years though

>>723647838
>Wouldn't that just require a script per state?
No, you can define multiple classes per file. Put "class_name State" at the beginning of the base class source file and refer to it anywhere

>>723651421
yeah that shield sounds sure sounds like shit. I'll try looking for something more fitting. And yeah I probably should test my sounds while playing some ambient track in the background or something. I'm clueless about all this sound stuff.

>>723652084
Shields are generally made of wood so it should be more thunky

There was once a time when games needed to be tailored to different brands of graphics card. Maybe brand X could support sharper textures but couldn't handle the fancy shadow techniques that worked on brand Y. As a result there could be major differences between an Nvidia card, an ATI, a Voodoo, or whatever else.

There was another time, more recently, when graphics card manufacturers would convince/bribe game studios to add effects that either only worked on their cards or would perform much better on their cards than the competition. Think Nvidia PhysX or AMD TressFX.

For the most part, thankfully, this is a thing of the past. If you have three graphics cards from different companies, with similar release dates and price points, and play the same game with the same graphics settings then you shouldn't see any visual difference between the cards.

In terms of performance, you might still find that certain effects are fast on one card but too slow on the others. There's also the matter of different AI upscaling options (DLSS, FSR, XESS).

Day and night cycle. It's literally the same script as in the normal stages, didn't think it would just work like that, but it did.

>>723654941
Cute

trying to optimize

>>723654941
looks promising

Who are you excited for?

>>723654941
Very cute. One thing I figured out with coding is that you can usually make anything with a simple line or two of code. Most times.
I kind of want to add a chao garden like mini game to my hub >>723635593 that will work into a plot twist, but that may start to cross into feature creep

>>723653868
hope it's better now

Good sounds just need to record them through a compressor to make them stand out less in all frequencies.

>>723657040

I have audacity, and I see it has a compressor under Effects. How could I do that thing you say I should do?

Number one lesson, never grow too attached to your MC. She'll die anyway because you failed to market the game or something.

>>723659039
Too late for that, got too attached to them many years ago before game making. Guess it's over for me...

>>723658761
There has to be at least one friendly gobbo I'm sure

>>723659427
I could include one! it's a neat idea

Making some 3D models for fun.

You don't have incorporate in the state you live in.

Any tutorials you recommend for that style?

Are you brazilian?

>>723659941

>>723660185
it's always weird when people ask for tutorials for specific styles
like nigga, you learn basic modelling, then you look at a style and copy it

>>723661649
I think it makes sense, trying to recreate something is a more engaging way to learn something. And the something in this case is within reasonable reach. When I first started learning programming, I didn't do roll-a-ball or something like that, I tried to recreate a reasonably simple game I liked and had a much better time doing it. The gaps in knowledge get filled out by google.

>>723660976
I will soon! I already came up with some ideas on what small game I could make where you play as a little elf girl.

>>723661649
NTA but I have seen "what engine to get this feeling" a few times. And the thing will be someone showing a UI or something. Makes no sense.

ever feel like this is a waste of time? I could have spent my weekend doing something else

>>723662547
Like yelling at game developers to stop developing and just buy product?

>>723662547
Only if I start thinking that nobody will ever play it. Though I think that's unlikely and I have friends who would enjoy it so it goes away. It's pretty fulfilling to me.

>>723662672
?
>>723662690
wish I had more friends lol. But yeah making something for others to enjoy is a good mindset, ty

>>723662672
That would honestly be more productive and better for the world than trying to make games in an oversaturated market. The world desperately needs fewer producers and more consumers.

>>723661840
Good start. Gotta get that semi transparent dress down right in the low poly model

>>723662547
nah it's pretty fun especially when you're doing it with friends.

>>723662967
Retard

>>723662547
everything is a waste of time

god is a lie

>>723662862
Don't we all
My friends ask about it sometimes and I want to show them when it's a little more ready but I feel like it's cringy so I'm worried. I suppose any sort of creation is like baring your soul.

>>723662547
No, I love what I do and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

>>723664058
I like it. Like xcom meets age of war.

I want to make a game like Toilet of Fear.

so the plan is for these to be holding focus attacks. But they're separate from the "fire" button so idk. Might be overcomplicating it.

>>723665074

Good art. Although the overworld map art is a bit lacking, needs more effort put into it.

>>723665468
What program do you use for animation, I'm curious. Aseprite?

>>723659941
Uoh! UOOOH HOHOOOO ToT

>>723662547
If i dont make money sure

>>723665468
make it an unlockable

>>723660847
Looks low poly to me. Could reduce some around the mouth and maybe remove some loop cuts.

Tempted to make all my models 256 triangles in the spirit of #256fes, but that's probably just unnecessary limitation and no one will care

>>723560278
Godot is a shit engine with a terrible workflow and fundamentally bad organisational design that you are forced to work around to get anything done.

>>723669825
>>723669989
that looks bad though

>>723670098
PYW

>>723669825
Limitations breed creativity and would also give your models a style.

>>723629824
I kind of agree, it doesn't feel very battle-tested. Lots of wasted space, and placement of certain editors at the bottom panel feels unintuitive.

>>723670132
this was my last attempt at low poly, i could try making a 256fes model and post on the next gamedev thread

>>723670381
uoh

>>723670381
That does look nice but I like the "pixel-art" feeling 256 has versus just low-poly

>>723670381
This model had inspired me to draw a similar outfit >>723656268 Good luck on your modelling

>>723670174
While that is true, it is also dumb to make sacrifices like removing hands/feet so you can add a tail or dress. And you should add proper cuts to joints so they deform properly when animating. You should give yourself some leeway.

>>723670635
Nice.

>>723670696
>>723670174
Yeah that's what worries me
At work he have a linter that won't let us merge code if any line is more than 115 characters.
But sometimes I have a line that's 116 and I'm forced to break it into two lines which makes it less readable and I think it would be better to just allow the extra character sometimes
So I can imagine I have a great model that's 257 and I'll have to decide if I wanna waste an hour finding a tringle I can lose just to stick within my self imposed limitation

>>723662547
like?

>>723670381
do you sell these?

>>723670696
I get what you mean but at the end of the day, Low poly models usually have simple hands and feet. The texturing is what makes them resemble something reasonable

>>723671029
what if you want a character who can throw peace signs?

>>723671579
Separate hand model

>>723671627
Slippery slope. What if you decide the head is a "separate model" and doesn't count towards 256?

>>723670983
yeah, i take comms for rigged models

can you please make a new thread when this one goes away? my progress is NOT ready yet.

>>723670381

>>723669989
love the lowpoly look desu

>>723664842
thats all games

>>723654941
The depth of field doesn't make any practical sense. It's focusing on where you are, not where you're going. A player would normally be looking into the distance, but it's blurry and out of focus here.

>>723651064
have you posted here before?

>>723662547
When you start thinking about it gamedev is insanity. You spend anywhere from months to years making something in hopes that people will like it but there's never any guarantee for it. Years of your work might become worthless the moment you release.

>>723675442
I'm just doing it because it's a fun hobby

>>723669825
it's a pointless limitation that makes your models look worse than they have to

don't be afraid to add polygons when they benefit the model

>>723675501
>hobby cope

>>723675609
You're an empty head with an empty soul

>>723675541
limitations force you to be creative.

>>723669825
will anyone care? not really but you will. whenever you're making models you wont stick to your limits because you already broke them, youll create a game that isnt coherent.
your art direction is bred out of the limits youre giving yourself, once you scrap the art direction you scrap the consistency.

>>723675935
>will anyone care?
will they know? whos gonna check

>>723675935
256 goes too far that makes your models look like blocky shit

if you must sperg do 512 or something

>>723676569
you can use timeline and frames in photoshop too

Would you recommend Photoshop btw? I'm considering using it but it seems it's $20 per month

>>723677404
>I'm considering using it but it seems it's $20 per month
Piracy?

>>723676195
stop making these every day

>>723677491
I've tried pirating Photoshop but unironically I think adobe has the sadly most effective anti-piracy measures in place, at least for me

>>723676195
I'll put it up once this once is archived

>>723677554
No, I will make them daily. If you can't produce progress in 24 hours you can't call yourself a dev.

>>723676195
Fuck off rasko

>>723675442
>Years of your work might become worthless the moment you release.
no, it never has to be like that. you make a playable prototype and get people to play it within MONTHS (full time). people end up in the situation you describe because they either
- commit to a project with zero playtesting feedback or
- can only put in like an hour a day in which case shit takes forever, true, but you also can't call that "years of work", now can you?

>>723675442
You can always reuse the code, systems and tools from the previous game, so it's not wasted effort even if it flops.

>>723677578
You can try krita.

>>723677404
eh, depends on what you want to do. Aesprite is good enough but I do other art stuff in photoshop too and their cloud storage is pretty decent. I was planning to get off it once this project is finished but I have too much stuff tied in atm.
