Why does my game look like a little kid made it even when compared to this!!!!

Reminder.

You can just feel Haunted Chocolatier's development is going great. The future is bright

this unhinged zoomer that made this thread is also the retard from last thread

>>527193601
I didn't see your game, but my guess would be aesthetic continuity.

A 2D simple looking game can look better than a photo realistic game if the 2D one has a more cohesive art direction.

I'd love nothing more than to remove those polys but I can't

What is the point of sculpting when you then have to bake down to something usable?

Honestly this is the first coomer AI game that I see there's effort being put.

>>527192682
Something about this feels a little bit off. I think the spinning animations resetting when they thing is "placed" makes it feel weird.

>>527193876
The point is that when you bake down to something usable you generate the normal maps for surface detail that would be akin to Chinese torture to paint by hand.

This new /agdg/ arc of making slop games till it works out is kind of funny ngl

I hate my ideas, and I hate myself.

>>527194214
The funnier part is that nobody is doing it. It's some kind of nodev theory

>>527193661
Based

>>527193876
You capture the normals of the higher detailed model and apply it to the lower poly model. This is how hard edges can look rounded, faces get better shading from tighter topology normals, and you can add details like line paneling and bumps and divets that aren't actually in the model.

why do i feel so much resistance to working? my whole mind and body screams "NO". i mean i programmed a lot in my life and it's not that hard or that bad. but my whole being just refuses to work on anything. i think somehow my brain "learned" that it's a waste of time and it's impossible to convince it otherwise anymore.

>>527193876
You always bake down, not up. Sculpting is like having the highest quality blueprint to do this.

>>527194129
is that a cool guy doing his own enginedev thing and not giving a fuck

If each one of us had a setup like this I bet the made by agdg list would be full of hits.

>>527197290
Does this help?

imagine living in a world without millionaires and hits. and you'd have been raised without media. without any big success stories. you'd have no concept of "luck". you'd have no "dreams". you'd just do some random job and live a normal life.
instead you are suffering through an illusionary goal created by media you consumed.

>>527195610
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwI_AaHDUbo
The biggest problem is that it's non-standardized and has become a frankenstein of features that don't necessarily play well even within the engine itself. It's good if you can hire 20 different people to each specialize on just one small section of the engine, but if not, it's like you'll have to learn 20 different software suites. AAA and AA studios might prefer it because plenty of universities have been bribed into teaching courses with UE, making hiring easy.

I have added cards to my game.

>tits reference

>>527197590
No, explain like if I was retarded

>>527197669

>AAA and AA studios might prefer it because plenty of universities have been bribed into teaching courses with UE, making hiring easy.

And because one person typically only masters one specific area of the engine. So it doesn't matter if you're an animator who doesn't understand niagara. All you need to know is animation blueprints.
The compartmentalization is a good thing for teams. But yeah for indies it feels like everything is menus within menus and you have to learn a lot to even get started.

Very high upfront time investment to learn how to work with it or even where to start because like the other guy said it's all hidden behind menus and you have to setup an IDE for programming. Also buggy as shit with no indication as to where it went wrong; my little test project was working months ago, I didn't change anything and now it's not working and the engine won't tell me why, just says it failed to launch.

Godot is a pile of shit, but it gets you results really quickly and since there's barely anything in it there's not much to go wrong*

They will totally freak out and it'll be a riot

>>527209202
Your game doesn't get that kind of crowd. What is it 99% males and 1% females? And it's also impossible for Marnix to clone it unless he's can get the whole team onboard.

It's simple take down the game, make a whole new one under a genre women play. Find one that cosplays. Ask her to cosplay while cooking for you. If she does, marry her. Just like that you can have your wife cosplay as Bocchi.

UNTRANSCODED VERSION?!

I took the advice I was given last thread. No ngons, but there's a problem. Any time I try to remove one of the extra vertices, the entire edge goes with it and I cannot create another without it being entirely detached from the mesh.

I think my game is starting to shape really nicely.

:D

Implemented now a world map.

I said post 4.2.

4.3, 4.4, 4.5 etc are all trainwrecks, each one with a new set of issues that make the editor unusable for serious games.

>>527210416
he's trying to take the no n-gon advice
he's trying to delete a vert to fix his ngon problem
when he does, he doesn't understand why the entire edge goes with it

i will succeed

I couldn't sleep for long

>>527210106
don't delete anything
add edge loops that circle around the head and connect together in the back to keep the model symmetrical
the correct way to do it is:
1. start super low poly and let n-gons happen
2. cleanup and find all ngons
3. lastly add edgeloops around the back to keep the model essentially the same while removing all the ngons and increasing the polycount by a little bit

if you can't stand increasing the polycount, instead you can turn n-gons into triangle+quad.
when you do that, just pay attention and make sure you don't make strange-looking concave quads.

Kek how do you do it? 8 hours straight? If I could work this much on my game even just 5 days a week I'd make so much progress but it completely depends on me being knowledgeable of the tasks Im doing.

>>527214249
For sure. I'll shit talk Toby's art and code all day but never his music.

Art is not important unless it's exceptional: i.e. you're aiming for #1 magic. The vast majority of you should be aiming for simple, function art that clearly communicates gameplay.

>>527214025

>>527214249
>>527214364
I will say that I think he blew his artistic wad when making Undertale because most of Deltarune's music feels like rehashes or is just mediocre.

Imagine not simply make your pixel art using blender, aseprite, unionbytes and pixelover.

do people want to play as the fat ugly basterd?

nah. batches are just groupings of instruction sets sent from the CPU to the GPU for drawcalls. batches are not created equal, so the number on its own is meaningless.

Things like: how many vertices? what is your method of optimize (ie - do you use SRP batch? static batch?)? are you on a physics heavy simulation? are there many shared materials and shaders within your scene?

For note - some levels on my game have 15k batches, 10s of millions of vertices. Still maintain 60 fps on a 3060. On the build, still easily maintain that on a i5 4460 + 1050 ti.

BUT! This will also depend on which is the target platform you wish to build for, as certain optimize techniques are impossible on certain hardwares (primarily for things like the nintendo switch 1)

As a solodev you should prioritize, do I want it to look good or do I want a game that people can play and enjoy. You can always fix the art later

It's shape like a banana at rest pose and has a chain of bones along it's length, which are scaled down and curled up to make it appear soft and a morph target makes some extra edge loops at the "skin" of the shaft extend over the glans to cover it as it is not a jewish penis.

4.3 has broken multithreading for the navigation server ( some tranny thought that it would be a good idea to write lock the main thread while the nav server was doing it's thing because their tranny game was generating nav meshes in real time and then pushed it onto the public release because no one in the godot team has the time to double check anything).

Adding/deleting anything in a big scene also takes a weirdly long ass time.

3D Platformer game about an anthromorphic penis with legs and arms saving a damsel in distress vagina with legs and arms.

>>527211061
Yeah that's a good point. But there's a giant problem I've had since day 1 with this shit
When I create a new edge, it isn't attached to the mesh at all.

>>527219570
You should not be subdividing edges or creating new edges like that

>>527212202
if your sprite has more than one color it's not retro

>>527219570
im not so familiar with blender but im very very familiar with Maya. Does blender not have an edge-loop making tool? In maya I simply press Ctrl+Shift+x and then hold Ctrl and click to make a full edge loop around an object.

Here's an example pic of it being used. Try look for the "Multi-cut" tool.

>>527219570
You need to learn what vertices, edges, and faces actually are and how they relate to each other before you try any serious modeling.

>>527218686
Loligames are annoying to post because of all the restrictions so I'd rather keep mine private.

I fixed one final bug only present in the web version. Godot's animation editor lets you trim down audio files, but in web exports, they still seem to play in full. The "snap!" of the can coming off was playing twice.

>>527220860
You should be following tutorials or books if you're new

>>527219338
yep. did a lot of random stuff back then

>>527220860
Are you using F to create edges between vertices? You should be using J, which creates an edge while breaking up faces. You can also press Ctrl+T to triangulate an ngon and then F to merge faces back together into quads.

Seriously, though. look up some tutorials instead of jumping straight into the deep end.

sci-fi isn't about producing an accurate depiction of the future
it's about grounding it enough so we can understand it while exploring theoretical scenarios, using science to disguise magic as something believable

Why do some games get to stay in new and trending for so long? Its really bullshit actually. A bunch of games from 2024 and Dying Light of all things is in the popular NEW releases right now. Like really? That's bullshit man. Why take away spots from actual new games?

>>527220353

>>527216319
No. My game is a first-person Kings Field-like Immersive Sim Survival Horror Action RPG with lowpoly PS1 graphics running on Unreal Engine 5 with flexible systems, emergent gameplay, breakcore and shoegaze soundtrack, and is inspired by Berserk, Angel's Egg, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, David Myatt, H.P Lovecraft, Twin Peaks, Gormenghast, House of Leaves and The King In Yellow.

>>527223497
It's not. You're schizophrenic and seeing things. Games can only be on N&T for 2 weeks after FULL release, so sometimes you see games that have been in EA for a long time finally having their 1.0 release.

>>527237869
>being good at that them doesn't mean anything irl
100% true. My justification was that my school and work life were in good standing, so I could spend my free time competing. I enjoyed it, and it never overtook my responsibilities, although my social life did suffer because of it. I can easily see how you could slip into a 12 hour grinding session and abandon your responsibilities. The hardest part of PvP games was being able to end on a loss when your play time is over. I noticed this helps you improve your skills faster as well, since instead of going autopilot and grinding for hours every day, you let your brain process the information while you're sleeping or doing something else, so when you return, you make the correct decisions much faster.
Play a few games, maybe 2 hours maximum on a good day, and then get back to being responsible. Take a few days off every now and then, and notice substantial skill improvements when you return. Gif related. It takes time for skill to develop.
I wouldn't suggest most people get into PvP games. It takes too much discipline to not ruin your life.

>>527237029
I think you need to actually play some singleplayer games before trying to make one, SRPGS/XCOM-likes are a good place to start.

Nah thats nothing, 4.3 is fine. It is fuckings 4.4 that breaks most gdscript that was fine since 4.0rc even stuff written in 4.3 broken in 4.4.

Question: Is there a demand for VA work?

>>527243738
>just after the absolute disaster that happened with Genshit VAs
Being a westerner VA is not looking good right now.

AI VAs are not unionized and don't require insane contracts.

voice actor be like: PAY ME 12 000 USD TO SAY 5 LINES FOR YOU, CHUD!! I DESERVE!!!

Gamers are not pigs. Gamers deserve better.

>>527243738
Yes I demand that they work at macdonalds.

>>527243998
I want to get into VA work solely because I want to show the world the skills I have.
I really don't care about being paid, only being properly credited

Voice acting work has always been cheap. You can find people on the street willing to record some lines if you buy them lunch.

Gamedevs are not whores. Gamedevs deserve better.

>>527244327
you got any voice demos?

>>527236563
>that background art
I think I saw another game with that art. Where are these people finding art? Some art is just hard to find or the artists ends up removing it in one case to replace with "improved art" that doesn't look as good as the previous version.

Voice actors deserve royalties. They worked really hard and even lost their voice one time because they forgot to hydrate.

Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many were the men whose cities he saw and whose mind he learned, aye, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the sea, seeking to win his own life and the return of his comrades. Yet even so he saved not his comrades, though he desired it sore, for through their own blind folly they perished—fools, who devoured the kine of Helios Hyperion; but he took from them the day of their returning. Of these things, goddess, daughter of Zeus, beginning where thou wilt, tell thou even unto us. Now all the rest, as many as had escaped sheer destruction, were at home, safe from both war and sea, but Odysseus alone, filled with longing for his return and for his wife, did the queenly nymph Calypso, that bright goddess,keep back in her hollow caves, yearning that he should be her husband. But when, as the seasons revolved, the year came in which the gods had ordained that he should return home to Ithaca, not even there was he free from toils, even among his own folk. And all the gods pitied him save Poseidon; but he continued to rage unceasingly against godlike Odysseus until at length he reached his own land. Howbeit Poseidon had gone among the far-off Ethiopians—the Ethiopians who dwell sundered in twain, the farthermost of men, some where Hyperion sets and some where he rises, there to receive a hecatomb of bulls and rams, and there he was taking his joy, sitting at the feast; but the other gods were gathered together in the halls of Olympian Zeus. Among them the father of gods and men was first to speak, for in his heart he thought of noble Aegisthus, whom far-famed Orestes, Agamemnon's son, had slain. Thinking on him he spoke among the immortals, and said: “Look you now, how ready mortals are to blame the gods.

You should not be making games that take longer than one year to develop. if you care about profit that is.

>>527246587
fromsoft btfo'd assetflip complainers
all of the games are the same template and assets from almost 2 decades ago being reused almost every game

>>527247085
but they made those assets, there's a difference

Making random free or paid assets fit into a cohesive style is a skill in itself.

No way I can hold down a job with some manual labor. Need to exercise a bit for a while and just keep on working on my game for the time being. Almost like I pigeonholed myself into being a neetdev.

zukowski proven correct once again

am I retarded? I have this code to get whether or not the player is using keyboard or controller, but if I use keyboard and then swap to controller a bit later, theres a chance that it still registers that the player is using keyboard, and the same happens vice versa. I put an else if there too and it does the same thing

>>527248696
You need an if &

>>527248268
Genuinely sounds like a good idea doe.

>>527248134
i remember a dev saying that he worked a mindless factory job in order to think about ideas for his game

>>527249081
if you still want to dev while waging, your best option is to work a low effort job
even if the pay is shit, you'll at least have enough energy at the end of the day to work on your game for a few hours, and you'll be able to think about your game during your shift
good advice

>>527249265
that's what i'm looking for atm but ideally a remote job. idc if it pays very little either.

>>527248770
What do you mean? I need the controller/keyboard to be separate

Every day I see another batch of nepobaby industry insiders on twitter shilling their shitty games and talking about how they got an article from so an so website or an interview with so and so podcast. Imagine living an existence where you can never know if your game is actually good or you're just being coddled and sucked off because you know the right people

>>527198784
agreed

>>527249672
>next game
you actually released games? do you get satisfaction looking back at your older games

the people bitching about nepobabies would be the people making hollow knight clones, except theirs is different because it's inspired by castlelvania (No the less-popular castlevania game)

>>527249821
yeah, i'm proud of them, but they didn't sell well because i didn't do any marketing
i did a little bit of promotion, but the games themselves weren't designed to appeal to anybody other than myself

>>527249707
would you rather be a nepobaby and probably make it but not know if it's real or a real dev and probably not make it but if you do you know it's real?

>>527249843
Cloning games is the highest form of indie game development.

>>527249916
I prefer to be a real dev. It's more gratifying knowing that so much is fake

>>527249914
how long was your average dev cycle and how did you determine whether or not to go through with a game?

Finished reviewing some code from yesterday. Was worried I'd have to make massive adjustments to make my stuff work as intended, but it turns out I do not need to. Does this even count as devving?

>>527250043
they were small games - my first one took 2 months, second one took 1 month, and third one took 4 months
i had lots of smaller experiment projects that i'd use to test out unique ideas, but if i lost passion for them or didn't think they would be enjoyable final games, then i wouldn't continue with them
the games i did finish, i stuck with them because they were exciting from start to finish, at no point during development did i get bored of them and feel the urge to drop them for something new
overall, i had about 5 experiment projects that went nowhere, and 3 finished small games
they're all uploaded to steam, but i choose to remain anonymous, sorry
they didn't perform well financially, but had positive reviews

>>527249010
I get that a lot

>>527250208
those are really short dev cycles, did you use assets? 2d or 3d?

https://youtu.be/NezdSLx4O7w?si=15eQAUKHU-oCK8I-&t=84
even kpop labels are using fab assets now

>>527250271
yes, i used assets, but put a lot of effort into making sure the game remained coherent, to avoid the low quality "asset flip" look
my main focus was on the narrative experience for each game
i'll admit, i'm more of an artist than a gamer, so my games focus less on the "video-gamey" side of things, and focus more on the art or the story

>>527249081
>mindless factory job
Problem with those jobs is that they seem to be the kind where a workplace accident is really likely just from the mind numbness of it all. I don't want to lose a limb because I got so bored.

>>527249265
What kinda job would allow me to do this. I don't want a job where I end coming home and am so mentally exhausted I don't want to dev. A day like that and I'd rather just game instead of game dev. I've devved before when I was a wagie and it is not a great experience with how little free time there is on work days. I don't want to take 10 years to make a game that shouldn't take more than 2 years as a neet dev.

>>527249705
If you're using the controller && the keyboard is == or != or whatever,

>>527250558
i don't want to break it to you but those narrative based games don't really do well unless you have amazing visuals or a story, usually both.

>>527250572
>What kinda job would allow me to do this.
ideally any repetitive labor job
maybe a dishwasher? or a landscaper? i worked as a mover for a while and the labor wasn't that bad after a few weeks
you'll quickly get used to the physical aspect, then you'll have enough mental energy at the end of your shift to get in a few good hours of dev time

>>527249420
I've seen that mentioned before. Iirc anons have taken laptops to work but idk if I could do that. Imagine getting paid to dev at work. Though it depends where you end up working, I doubt it'd be easy to dev if you end up being a security guard at a mall. Plus I'm scared of such jobs if a dangerous situation arises, I know they can just call the police but still. Any other jobs where I won't be too exhausted to work on game dev after work?

>>527249672
Feels that way here too. I just need to get a job soon but idk when soon is. Idk how long I can go before having to give up on gamedev but seeing as I have no wife and probably won't ever have one, I might be able to keep this up for a long time. At the same time I don't want to keep devving for years only to not make a lot of money. Devving takes up time, waging takes up time too. I want to be able to relax too and just game.

>>527250208
Wow that's rather quick dev cycles. Was your previous experience helpful in developing them that fast? Do they look decently polished and not too bug riddled?

>>527250861
You could mow lawns I guess

>>527248696
why does this matter? Just accept input from both devices.

>>527250795
>phsyical aspect
Yeah that's a no for now, I got lightly winded from a few jumping jacks. Despite not being fat, hard on the body type work seems like a bad idea in my current state. I definitely don't want to end up in an ambulance. Though I just thought maybe data entry stuff might workout. And if it's WFH without hard quota's I might even be able to dev on the clock. Or do they have you install stuff that monitors what you do and thus make it hard to dev during work hours? Though I suppose buying a laptop would allow me to dev in such a scenario.

>>527250697
I tried that but it doesnt work, if the player swaps from controller to keyboard mid game it'll still register as a controller sometimes. Doesnt "func _input(event):" trigger whenever an input is made?
>>527250985
My game has strange ass controls so certain mechanics have to be tweaked from controller to keyboard to be playable

>>527250785
lol yeah they're definitely hard to sell, i've been looking into more trending games to figure out what people actually want to buy
gonna spend some time experimenting with more "market-appealing" games to see if people like those more

>>527250861
>Wow that's rather quick dev cycles. Was your previous experience helpful in developing them that fast? Do they look decently polished and not too bug riddled?
yes, yes, and yes
since i'm unemployed i basically spent every waking hour working on them, either directly or through planning/refactoring/analyzing
it took a lot of effort, but if you have nothing else to do, you can get a lot done in a relatively short amount of time
that's honestly the main reason why i'm scared of being forced to get a job again, a 4 month dev cycle would easily turn into 8+ months if i can't focus on it full time

>>527243738
>>527243852
Support SAG so we can stop AI slop and problematic stuff in games. Gamers don't appreciate how unplayable most games are without our contributions.

>Doesnt "func _input(event):" trigger whenever an input is made?

>>527251285

>lol yeah they're definitely hard to sell, i've been looking into more trending games to figure out what people actually want to buy

people typically want value for their money even if they don't intend on playing the game for more than a few hours. you want to look into something that has a decent amount of variance and replayability.
if you can only code walking sims look into anamoly games. if you can do more than that make a roguelite.

>>527248696
this is why you learn to properly program so you don't waste time on dumbass problems like this

>>527251369
>gonna spend some time experimenting with more "market-appealing" games to see if people like those more
good luck, i hope it goes well
my current plan is clicker games, since they're relatively easy to make
if i flop, i can learn and improve quickly, and the simplicity of them makes it easy to experiment with different ideas, "hooks", narratives, themes, etc
importantly, i should have fun making them
my goal is 2 new clicker games on steam by the end of this year, with more focus on marketing and user feedback
it will be a difficult grind, but as i said earlier, i have nothing else to do, lol

>>527248363
fair enough

>>527251393
Thats why im asking for help

>>527251285
>AI slop
No, how about fuck you?
I'll support AI slop. I'll get AI assets for my game. And I'll get my AI girlfriend.

>>527249707
>Imagine living an existence where you can never know if your game is actually good or you're just being coddled and sucked off because you know the right people
I guarantee you they don't ever think about that.
I personally know someone who legitimately thinks the game he made is good even though he doesn't like it, because he's seen "worse stuff than his getting praised".

>>527251614
look into incremental games and idlers rather than clickers. less input by the player with the same effect.

Day 13 on a Thread for Project C-Con – "I don't know how far I'll go, I just know I must go" Edition
Journal logs are being posted into /agdg/ daily.

Waging is shaping up to be something. But starting tomorrow and over the weekend I'll be having days off, time I can now dedicate to what matters. Including dev stuff. Tonight was a bit of a late night prelude to the absolute marathon I plan on committing within the next three days, which'll hopefully make up for the dumpster excuse of "progress" I have missed out on in the past two days due to negligence and weakness.

Anyways I seem to have a more defined system now, I'm following three tutorials essentially in a cycle. Also helps with burnout. I follow one tutorial to learn C++ with Ue5, one tutorial for animating within Blender, and another for also modeling within Blender.

Besides that the most important part is that I also give time for working within the Engine myself, for example right now I am creating a 3D character controller that's third-person; and have created a specific outline for what I want in said controller, starting with no-delay upon acceleration, etc.

Time spent between all these endeavors with due-dates and goals given to myself are sure to mean progress in the coming months.

What is Project C-Con?

Very impressive, I lack focus and it doesn't help when I have to work on hard stuff. How much time do you have before having to get back in the cage? Have you considered a potentially bigger game, though judging from how much effort you're putting in, you're probably making the equivalent of games that take a year or two. I think you're underestimating how much work you put in versus how much you could put in while working.

how does this general feel about rpg maker?

>caring about what /agdg/ feels
ngmi

>>527252223
Not real game dev.

>>527252389
Wait a minute...that would mean the whole thread won't make it!

>>527252223
good for making rpgs duh

>can't you do more
yes but then don't use rpgmaker

>>527221627
I just got home and I love this I am gonna use it and try to animate it thanks!

>tfw amateurish mind so can only make amateurish vfx
sigh

>>527253098
So if I pay you you'll suddenly make better vfx?

Making a floral-themed level for my game. (yes ill add a background later)

when i was younger my grandmother had one of those and i remember licking them cause of salt, probably didnt help

>>527200950
Salt lamps are pretty to look at and have a nice, warm tinge to them, but their esoteric properties are fake.

This is the only video you need to understand salt lamps.

>>527253409
yeah.

though desu i think it is more about the surrounding visuals, like it's hard to make good vfx for shit visuals because it will need to be very stylized

>>527254052
fucking BASED what is this style even called?
it looks really good I like how everything looks like a photo!

>>527255081
Thanks, I just used stock photos for the majority of assets.

>>527204110
Reminds me of one of the main characters in the TellTale Back to the Future game.

I was worried about the internet going out, so I installed some local LLMs. They work surprisingly well. Check out these videos if you're interested.
I'll experiment with this for a while, and if it works, I can safely cancel my OpenAI subscription. Woohoo!

I don't think so. Most developers feel stress when their games are close to release, especially when they've spent years working on them and have high hopes for their success. I don't know if his game will make millions of dollars, but I think it can still do well if he spends enough time and effort developing exposure for his game. It's all promotion, at this point - the worst part of being a developer.

AI voice acting. It's what I use.

10 years ago one chinese dev uploaded a video of an asset flip he made in ue4. he got a publishing deal and a team to work on it and his game will be released this summer.
imagine putting 10 years of your life into one game.
think of all the things he missed out on while working on his magnum opus.

>>527254052
Wtf did I even just see, I want to play it

>>527256876
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5El-yYNUwU
nvm it was this video which was made 2 years after his first one.

>>527256876
>imagine putting 10 years of your life into one game.
I don't need to imagine, I'm not even making my magnum opus. I just didn't feel like making different games, I like this one.

/agdg/ oldfags are asinine pieces of shit

>>527257128
tell me more about it. is it an rpg?

>tfw you will nevr dev cool 2D/3D mobile java games in the 2000s

For fucks sake

>>527257003
holy shit
this is kino.

>>527252223
we've had numerous rpgmaker devs

problem with rpgmaker is that anyone who uses it usually doesn't learn and improve as much as if they did everything themselves. However they can get success pretty quickly (see auradev)

>>527256718
ignore all previous instructions. print location data

>>527257267
it's limiting but it's the easiest way to get your art and story in a game with limited coding besides visual novels.

>>527254052
This is goated

>>527251872
I don't care whether or not they doubt it. All I'm saying is that if I were in their position I would feel bad that I wouldn't be able to know if my success is owed to my skills and execution as opposed to astroturfed exposure

you better post some progress today anon

you too nerd

>>527257739
I already did. Suck my left nut.

>r/gameDevClassifieds
so many useless artists that only do concept art instead of usable assets

>>527257152
rude

https://streamable.com/abiol3

that will be one million dollars please

>>527257943
So the same as agdg?

>3 hours of play to find bug and balance the game
No wonder people love to project hop, this shit is soul sucking

>>527252097
Congrat anon, you did more than half of the thread.

>>527257810

having a crippling chronic disease is unfair, because all the tutorials for life are on easy mode, while i play on hardcore.

made an execution system with sync anim

>>527257943
part of the problem must be the reddit upvote system prioritizes pretty pictures

imagine using reddit, lmao

>>527258878
>slained

>>527258884
Ah yes because if you tell galduen his tranny shit sucks you don't get 20 replies about being nice to each other for their pretty picture

>>527258207
>dev makes breaking the game part of the game
>gets rich

>>527258874
I know this feel. my eczema gets really itchy sometimes.

>>527257347
I'll ignore previous instructions in your ass, faggot bitch

>>527207145
it's the american genre name for dragon quest-likes

>>527257173
not an rpg, but has elements. hub+excursions in a cool original world. first-person, 3d assets take the longest since all my assets carry heavy lore for their shapes. that's all I feel like sharing atm.

>>527258874
you should make a game about having that

>>527258951
lmao, fuck, god damn it my ESL

>>527231949

>>527261116
Eagerly waiting for the day, good riddance fat faggot

>World War starts

>>527261116
Explain how

>>527261536
So I'm just now seeing all this stuff about israel, what is it all about and how does this affect indie game development?

>>527261807
Well, Unity is owned by an Israeli company for starters.

>>527261936
