I'm doing analytics research for my game and I found out something neat
If I rank all games similar to mine (tags) from the last year and a half based on follower count, right now I stand perfectly and exactly on the dividing point between two clearly separated categories of games

All of the games below mine fluctuate wildly between 0 and 500 dollars in revenue but never go above that, while all games above me in followers never go below 500 dollars in revenue and majority of them are much higher.
This might mean I'm guaranteed that I can't flop completely, which is reassuring. An airtight pattern like that doesn't just break for no reason..

where are the wizard gayms ?

A driving anomaly game

Blessed thread

I updated my game.

cuterisu in the thread!

>The thing that sucks about all the anomaly games I've seen (especially Marnix's) is that they don't try to be scary. At most they get a bit weird. I want an anomaly game that goes full spook.
This is what absolutely baffles me. You're ALREADY stealing from PT, so just steal the actual fucking horror parts too.

>>527346473
>>527346534
Also noticed: Every game that is ranked above mine in followers but has less than 2k in estimated revenue has a very obvious reason for being so. They are all some variation of co-op horror, point and click, or walking sim, which are tags I don't share with them. The rest of them mostly have over 10k in revenue

>>527345272
Truthfully I'm not even 100% sure what you're fighting yet.
I know it's going to be a Resi style game with shooting, inventory management, etc so I went ahead and started working on all that.
The actual theming alludes me still.

>>527347138
>here's this cat
>he's a geisha that is scale up a little

I'm trying to use Anchors in Unity. I have a Top header/bar/navbar or whatever that I don't want anything to ever cover. It's on every screen in the game. The problem I have is that anchors seem to override vertical layout settings. Typically in a vertical layout, the top gameobject is always on top of the bottom. But if I set the anchor of the gameobject with the background on it to StretchxStretch, it'll ALWAYS cover my header. Anyone know how to solve this?

I can have the header maintain the correct height and width, it's in the correct location, but the stretchxstretch of the other gameobject will always take over the width and height of the container, ignoring the header, totally covering it up, despite being in a vertical layout.

The single most important thing PT did, was direct you towards the horror and tell you to walk towards it. I'm surprised more horror games don't do this.

>>527346473
>>527347246
You could find out how much your game is going to make way faster by releasing it. What's the point of these analytics, your game is too far along enough to change it if it was a walking sim for example.

>>527347506
You have a 'Layout Element' on the object?

>>527347557
One thing it did poorly imo was make the puzzles impossible to figure out. At certain point I stopped being scared and just annoyed. Like ya, ok, I'm dead again, great, don't care. But I do admit it was fucking horrific.

>>527347731
There's still some time before it's finished. I want some hard facts. I've been working for too long for no reward.

>>527347813
It worked really really well for what it was, in terms of, turning what could've been a ten minute demo you play through once and forget into a days-long community-driven EVENT that is stuck in people's heads to this day. I think if it the full game played that way with the puzzles, it would've gone down quite badly, but specifically for a demo I think it was the right call.

>>527347776
I tried, but it didn't really seem to do anything. The height wasn't the issue I don't think because I could see the header height behind the other gameobject. But ya, I set preferred height and flexible height to 0. Layout priority 1. Then on the lower object I put Layout priority to 0, I'm not really sure what the does because I flipped it once and it didn't seem to do anything, and flexible height to 1.

To be clear I'm new to anchors so it could be something really stupid.

>>527347993
Right

>my hand when Haunted Chocolatier's world will be bigger than Stardew Valley's

>>527347968
What do you gain from this though you're too far along to change anything so now you're wasting your Friday stimming over money you've not yet made.
You think you're a real hotshot analyser but you're just an autistic idiot counting his chickens before they hatch

>>527348231
Because I know my game is gonna make it but have no revenue to prove it to my brain, so I have to convince it somehow so it doesn't burn out

>>527347813
That's true with most horror games really. People acclimate to the horror rather quick and within a couple hours you're just playing a slow paced adventure game. It's why a lot of the most effective horror games are games with a small bit of horror thrown in instead of games dedicated solely to making you scared.

Replying to self. I think I'm just going to have to do it programmatically. If I can get everything to just lower by the height of the navbar, then I might be able to hack around all the other issues. There doesn't seem to be a way to get this working through the Rect Transform Inspector alone.

>>527349875

>>527349450
are you using the newer UI system, or the legacy one? The legacy one is really fucky when it comes to anchors. new one is called UI Toolkit (I think, I haven't used it much since my game is using legacy)

In regard to not being covered (assuming this is legacy you're using), you can re-order the UI elements that are children of the canvas, as well as things like sorting order or sorting priority.
IIRC unity has built in solutions for overriding the sort priority, but I just built my own.

>>527350418
i see... less then a year than

So I got a bunch of really cheap tablets to repair and I got one of them to work. 2019 amazon kindles. I thought it would be recent enough to use for game dev, since I can get APKs working on shitty phones easily. Wrong. For some reason Amazon blocks tablets from using the app store every couple of years, and they cannot install fucking shit. There are blocks set in place to prevent them from downloading apps officially under new accounts to force people to buy the new tablets. Putting the APK on the tablet itself doesn't install even after editing the code to lower the requirements. The same APK can install on a 10 year old phone. The same fucking APK works on a 20 dollar phone from dollar general.

What the fuck is Amazon's problem?

how do you learn music, bros?

>>527353106
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP6QFV1wqDY

>>527352852
it varies, video games are low stakes while real life has alot of pressure. when you wipe on a raid, you can try again but when you fuck up on a job then that company is losing money and trust.
i know what you're getting at and it's in the same vein as elon saying we prefers to hire programmers who are avid gamers.
some people can be alpha until they're confronted irl then they drop their spaghetti.

Maidslop games are the future

>>527353106
>and downloaded a synthesizer
which one

learning how to code feels impossible

>>527353106
FL studio.
Learn ARPS at first and study music along with music theory. You really don't need to know much about music theory, more that everything is better with a certain structure, and certain tones are done a certain way.
Follow channels like synthet for smaller tips.
Download a bunch of free VSTs.
Maybe purchase some VSTs. There are so many paid VSTs it's hard to find good ones.

Is he right?

>>527353396
get good at art instead and you'll have code monkeys lining up at your doorstep

>>527353396
That's why AIs were made (although their code sucks 90% of the time)

>>527353089
He's the pirate guy? Sure. He's better than 99% of losers here at least.

>>527353181
Naw, it's harder in a game. The stakes for the guild leader might be lower, but the stakes for the members/employees are also lower. Turnover is horrendous because all you have to motivate your guildies are the powers of love, friendship, and some pixels. Meanwhile, IRL managers can offer cold hard cash.

>>527352845
Right now I'm making a webgl renderer which divides rendering in to one draw call for every model which appears in the scene once, and another set of draw calls for every mesh which exists in count 2 or more in the scene. I'd like to use WEBGL_multi_draw to draw every model in one draw call, but firefox doesn't have this, and probably won't have it. After I get this renderer working, I will create a second renderer which uses multi_draw.

The single model draw call needs to get a model instance id in to the shader. Can't use uniforms, can't use textures (because I have no index into a texture). I'm going to have the asset id baked in to the vert data, and this will be the index to a small texture, which will contain an offset value: This offset value will be the index to a large texture, which will hold transform matrices, diffuse/normal texture locations, and bone count and deformation data.

The single model draw call can get model instance id's in to the shader easily with an instance buffer.

Will this be more performant than three or babylon? I'll find out.

>>527353445
That doesn't make any sense

>>527353106
Learn an instrument and theory.

The engine/framework? You didn't build that.
The computer? You didn't build that.
The internet? You didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

>>527353507
i can shotcall and raid lead without issues but fumble when dealing with irl situations.

>>527353106
idk, I got piano lessons from 5 until 10, then got into guitar and synthesizers when I was around 14. I'm kind of a retard and have that brain defect that lets me see sounds as a bunch of colours and shapes, so idk. I just pick whatever looks good.

basic music theory helps with writing. I won't spell it out for you because the best way to learn music theory is to understand the fundamentals, and then see how you can apply it in your own style
learn things like:
>triads
>chord inversions
>scales, which note is major, which is minor. which notes benefit from things like add, sus, etc
>what is voice leading

think of music theory as building blocks rather than a rigid set of rules.

for writing original songs, what helped me was a combination of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks plus doing cover versions of other songs that have a similar feel to what I would like to go for.
doing covers helps you go through the process of arranging and then recording a song without having to think about the writing element of it (I stole this from writer hunter thompson who did it with writing books, but it applies to music as well)

Then there are the tricks. Think of songs that do something that sounds really cool to you, and learn how to recreate it. Congratulations, you have a new musical trick up your sleeve.
That channel synthet mentioned by another anon is full of production tricks

finally, simplicity and limitations are key. A lot of people, especially now with DAWs offering limitless possibilities, feel like they can always keep adding more.
Ideally, your song will sound good and cohesive played by a single instrument. If your song sounds good with the "meat" of it played on a single piano, you're on the right track.

>>527353176
that's nice but it sort of just leaves you hanging after this little tutorial

>>527354141
I mean music is all about personal expression and experimentation anyway. You gotta fuck around with making music for a while before you can really find your groove.

solo-devs need to STOP

I have been waiting for 4 years for AI to let me make HD 2D anime sprites for my games.

This tech is a scam and a huge nvidia grift.

And I'm already burned 5 times so far being hyped for AI imbeciles that this newer model will be a new revolution.

And yet, 4 years later and It still can't make me HD 2D anime sprites.

It took me less time and effort to actually get better in blender to make them, than trying to use AI to make what I want.

This tech is just a 1girl, solo porn generator without any other artistic use except child pornography and memes.

>>527353106
Learn an instrument (could just be your midi keyboard that you bought to use with a DAW) and then learn how scales (intervals) and chords (triads) are constructed. Then you can improvise for fun until you find a tune that fits what you're looking for. The rest is fucking around in a DAW.

>asking people who to make music
no wonder so many people here have shitty art, ya'll need to ask how to be creative lmfao.

>>527353106
People will say "learn music theory" but that's analogous to saying "learn math". Music theory is very wide and deep and only parts of it are applicable to making beginner tunes.
Here's what you need:
>become familiar with a scale
>become familiar with thinking in terms of scale degrees
>memorize common chord progressions
Then paint the owl.

>>527354396
This. Music is all about creativity. You can learn music theory sure but the rest of the shit you kind have to figure out yourself.

The point is If you learn basic music theory then your 'creativity' will be boosted exponentially. It's the same with color theory and lighting for visual art.

There were obvious patterns with my game and similar games but it wasn't until much more recently that I fully realized it. It simply looks like it's ngmi and just isn't worth continuing development. I have a finite lifespan, I do not want to waste it just to turn that sinking ship around for a best case scenario of around 2000 reviews. It sucks knowing I wasted so much time on a ngmi game.

Very nice. If I had any 2 aggy daggy anons of my choice to help me develop a game, then you'd be a strong contender out of about 6 or 7 anons. You're first or second on the 2D end.

The difference between an amateur and a pro is that an amateur will expend time to save resources and a pro will expend resources to save time.

They probably did it the Quake does it, by sampling the lightmap under the player. You could also do it by tracing lighting to the player, that's how I'm doing my entity lighting. I've backlogged an idea to have this influence how enemies spot you because at the moment LOS is just binary.

My 20% was all in the old Java build from DD14, I'll upload it onto itch near release in November. That had half of the weapons already, enemies, pathfinding. Once I had the melee weapon in I felt the gameplay loop click together.
Apart from rewriting the engine in C/C++ and four years in between on hiatus, other projects, or an abandoned level editor, I've been only doing polish and content ever since.

Debug lines that show me the position they’re targeting. To make them wave around convincingly when they target the player I make them target a position that orbits around the player at a radius relative to their distance, otherwise they’d just zip straight to you in a straight line and it would look like shit

>>527360875
Play the last hit game of your favorite genre and take note of everything they are doing wrong.

Modern game-dev is like being an interior designer; you take chairs and tables and portraits that other artisans have made and make them work together with a larger vision and personalized touches.

Sure you could learn how to make furniture yourself, but that's a huge time commitment, and in the end the client won't know the difference.

>>527360570
O_o high Int build right here unironically. You're showing me up on 2D dev. I've had trouble with flying and land enemies yet you make this stuff look like it's not even a challenge.

>>527361885
No, you're right. They did the smart thing and focused on important hero assets like the main cast and the bosses and some set pieces but nearly everything else was premade or otherwise outsourced.

>>527361979
it's hard to make something yours when the art is made by someone else. you can get a pass if you have amazing gameplay but using generic assets makes it harder for your game to stand out.
you can polish the hell out of it but it'll look like generic unreal 3d game #500. if you make your own models as a programmer it's going to have to look like megaman legends or a psx horror game but worse.
even worse if they recognize one of your playable characters from another game.

>>527362359
if you can make your hero assets look like anything in the asset store besides syntyslop then you would fall in the professional artist territory.

DELET THIS ITS MY IDEA I STOLE IT FIRST

question for anyone working in a game with a darker theme or color pallete. how do you not get depressed working on your game for long periods of time? think dark fantasy or horror visuals. if you're working on a dungeon crawler, this is what you'll be looking at all day.

>>527362838

>>527363039
How far is your nearest park? It can't be more than 10 minutes away.

Here's the math to find the required sales to profit off of a years worth of gamedev. And *worth* is the key word here, some devs might take 2 years to rack up 2080 hours of work.

>40 Hours per week * 52 weeks = 2080 Hours.
A years work is 2080 hours.
>2080 hours * $12 US minimum wage = $24,960.
Compensation for that work is at least $25,000.

>Profit for each $10 game sold is: 10 * 0.7 * 0.7 = $4.9
>(Steam 30% and tax 30%)
You'll profit $4.9 from each $10 game sold.

>24960 / 4.9 = 5093 copies.
To break even on a years work you need to sell 5093 copies.

Also, the average game on steam gets 2 reviews per 100 copies sold. So:
>5093 * 0.02 = 102 reviews

100 reviews on steam is a good goal for any game.

>>527363316
is that what parks are for?

>>527363463
dont forget that games continue to get sales even years after they release. more games = more passive income.

free idea: i've long thought what wrasslin games need is to make the goal for the player the same as the goal is for real world wrasslers... winning or losing is immaterial, it's all about getting the crowd to chant/boo your name. every wrestling game ive seen at most makes that a taunt for stamina or special move type of thing but is still just a combat game, lame and boring.

Ahris

Q3: Let’s know a bit about you, Miro. What did you work before focusing on Fear & Hunger? Were there other videogames/projects before this one or you worked in a completely different field?

A3: Ah, well… I did play around with game developing when I was really young. I found game engines like the RPG Maker and Game Maker among others, but I couldn’t really concentrate on any single project for long and most of the games I made back then died within few weeks or months. I did release a couple of game demos back in the day but unfortunately I don’t have them anymore.

Eventually I drifted away from game development, thinking that there was no future in playing around with simple 2D graphics. Funny enough, right after I quit, the indie gaming exploded so it wasn’t necessarily the best move at the time. Later on I got into graphic designing and I really wanted to make art. Graphic art, music or whatever. There are some album covers around with my art and also some light graphic novels in which I took part. I didn’t really consider game development until I had to get those academic credits from somewhere. I decided to revisit RPG Maker as it was the engine I was the most familiar with. Then people seemed to like the early versions of the F&H and after the first Let’s Plays of the game I was hooked. With games I could fuse together all my interests in different art forms and it was very rewarding to see the immediate reactions Let’s Players had with all the things I had created.

I want to make my game look like this.

Gotta work hard to learn how to make this.

just make a stimulating game
that's the common trait i've seen in every successful big indie hit with small scope
flashing lights, constant sound effects, simple story, accessible controls

Talent is how quickly you grasp it, but you can get to the same level of others with more time. Practice makes perfect people here are just impatient fags because they are only 15 and think they are running out of time lmao.

Nobody in the world is more stressed out than 19-25 year old who thinks that they wasted their life

I used to be a sincere poster, but after ending up in the same arguments dozens of times, I finally understood why some anons reply with just "retard" or a full post quote.

>>527361187
>>527367267
actually lemme fix that
I kinda glossed over 'interior designer' and 'furniture'.

If all gamedev to you is taking an existing project and putting in props then you're right. But in reality gamedev is building the walls and plumbing and floors and everything else except you're building it for artistic purpose instead of functionality, which starts to go really off-track.
The closest thing to that is an escape room, because that's effectively a game. In that case, it absolutely does matter what furniture you put in, because escape rooms usually have themes and using props appropriate for that kind of room is really important. People will eat up the experience anyway but they'll enjoy it far less. They'll know it's slop.

>>527367164

It's so hilarious. I wish we had threads split between people over and under 25.

Talent is similarly a skill that can be practiced. i.e. You can learn to learn.

talent implies latent advantage you are born with. which isn't real. the closest thing is having a high IQ

>>527367629
If you want to make 2D games then why are you doing 3D modelling

>>527367553
you're just supposed to not engage in repeat arguments that present no novel content. replying with spam trash is self-defeating. an argument isn't actually about what the other person thinks, it's about allowing your beliefs to be tested by others and seeing if you have the rationality to back up your beliefs.

>>527367290
I already posted about it but it's a story focused RPG with turn based combat and QTEs, the main gists of it is that you have spells which have their own damage and difficulty to cast, when you decide to cast a spell a set of arrows appear on screen and you must press the opposite direction, successfully doing so you are able to do damage to your opponent.

Right now I'm a complete fucking idiot monkey who doesn't know how to code but I managed to do a working version, the only issue is that it has zero modularity meaning that I can only make it work for one spell, more than that it becomes super duper hard. So I'm remaking it in a more organized manner.

>>527367819
relax

>>527367910
IQ plays a large role in talent. Other factors include personality traits like agreeableness/openness. Theoretically, these things can be changed, but in practice most people remain red goats and are incapable of growth.

>>527367962

Talent is literally just people who practice more and who are probably smart enough to know exactly what makes them grasp a concept faster.

>>527368909
Brother, just keep drawing hands until you can draw a hand. Artists are paid a lot because they put the time and effort into getting good. The same reason literally any master of any profession is paid a lot.

>>527368909
>if that was the case, artists wouldn't be paid as much.
Artists get paid a lot of money because art is not something everybody wants to do at a proficient level. It's like plumbing. Anybody can figure out how to do what plumbers do, but not everybody likes having to deal with toilets or digging underneath houses.

>>527368496

i think it has to do with how i learn things, i was able to learn 3d with a combination of brute force and looking at topology. 2d is a different beast imo. pixel art kind of clicked but i wouldn't count it as 2d.
3d low poly and pixel art are similar in that you can just make something by clicking around and forming a shape. hand drawn needs way more planning and you need to invest in a tablet, it's like 3d scuplting.

Hey mate, I know I'm over 12 hours late but there is another way to do sound effects for buttons in Godot.

Honestly speaking, a lot of posters here really aren't talent enough to really get good at the skill they're crying about. If they work really hard at it for a long time, maybe they can get to a reasonable level that they wouldn't be embarrassed about, but they'll never make it to a commercially competitive level. Assuming you're grassfag, I think you're in that same boat. You've spent a lot of time and have gotten quite far, but neither your art nor music is good enough to be a selling point in a game.

Yeah that's literally the next step. I'm a doodler and always probably will be one as I don't want to stick to 2D anything, I gave up on it a long time ago. Also it's easier to find art girls and date them and have them draw stuff for you lol. Not to mention a large portion of my friends are professionals in the comic industry.

>>527370617
Naw, I don't think so. There's a hard ceiling that many people will hit in highly competitive environments. Gamedevs compete on global stage. Getting "good" isn't enough.

>>527370729

Plenty of games and devs have proven otherwise.

Leave everything set as 'on' while figuring this out

>>527370620
I get to devote my full time to gamedev because it's also my job.
That means I get to develop those skills.
Because it makes money, I can hire people and take things as business expenses.

And, on a site like Steam, the ranking is higher with more sales. More money = more popularity = more exposure.
Even if you don't have a use for the money, it's still the difference between professional and hobbyist.

>>527370751
get a pencil + paper/sketchbook too. don't just draw boxes/grind fundies, keep doodling

Nope that's a different anon. He uses prefab stuff, or at least he did for that scene iirc.

my games are so small in scope it feels wrong to charge anything more than a dollar for them

I need to take a huge shit.

>>527371580
sell a collection. UFO-50 style. though some of those are huge scope, many are not.

>>527366767
some games just don't convert to sales from exposure

>>527370751
You probably want a tablet for pixel art too unless you want all of your assets to be at most 32x32

>>527370751
To go from /beg/ to /int/, you have to learn to draw with your eyes. i.e. Learning how to really draw from reference. A lot of beginners get forever caught up on being "original" or creating their own style. That's how they get stuck as perma/beg/s like Cris. Your main priority should be to learn how to accurately render what you see with your eyes.

>>527371307
shouldn't i be looking at guides or courses?
>>527370880
i mean there are great 2d artists but not many good 2d gamedev artists. most of them can't draw keyframes that are actually useable in games.
an example would be backpack battles dev

>>527371865
That's because animation and keyframes is a whole separate skill you have to learn on top of learning how to draw. I actually have a template of keyframe examples a disney trained artist gave me while we were drinking together at c2e2 and yeah animating is hard.

>>527371825
i might just take the spamdev approach

https://store.steampowered.com/developer/TravellinCats

>>527371862
this is what i struggle with. who doesn't want to be original though, that's what makes games stand out. f&h wouldn't be half as popular if it weren't for the art.

>>527371862
>>527372041
Which is why I suggested setting up a still life and practicing it for a week and then seeing the results for their selves.

>>527372041
You gotta know the rules before you break them.
That's the gist of it.
Monet is a good example. He is famous for inventing impressionism but before that he could paint photo-realistic images.

>>527372041
Originality comes from after you learn fundamentals, not before. First you need to draw anything you want before you can draw what you actually want.

Search for "draw what you see". There are tons of videos/guides/books etc.

>>527372192
Yeah originality is literally just style on top of fundamentals, no fundamentals no style.

>>527372041
I'm sure there are other influences but this looks a lot like store brand Ayami Kojima's Castlevania.

is tracing allowed when starting out?
webmrel is the style i want, i'm aware this guy is a world reknown artist but it appeals to me

>>527372523
>webm
nice artstyle

>>527372523
Instead of tracing draw something while looking at it.

>>527372523
Tracing is good for practicing dexterity. It's something you can do if you're having trouble rendering (i.e. physically performing the stroke you intend). Ideally, you should graduate from it fairly quickly.

>>527372584
the artist is range murata, my only gripe with him is that he always draws the same girl whose possibly his waifu

>>527371679
make sure you program while on the toilet.
people who bring their phone to the toilet are wasting the most valuable resource they have. my IQ increases by 100 points while I'm on the toilet, some of the best parts of my game were designed on the toilet / some very difficult bugs and problems were fixed on the toilet.

>>527371007
yeah
i am doing that but i am quickly growing frustrated because there is so little involved and yet it doesn't work
the first thing done in the _physics_process of the area calling get_overlapping_areas() is calling that and printing with no early exit, I am just completely baffled rn

>>527372523
Oh boy you are going to have to learn color theory too.
I think the best advice I can give you is take it one step at a time, and don't get disappointed if your work doesn't turn out like you wanted right away.
Even the guy on your video probably feels like his art sucks at times.
Art is a lifelong journey. If you are wondering when will you be good enough then the answer is now.

>>527372739
I can't scroll reels then though.

>>527372794
So many people here are bad at shading/color theory.

The best game idea is the idea that gets you into the engine and working. Resistance is the enemy.

>>527372767
It could be any of a dozen different problems. It's impossible to say without seeing more of your project. Post code, scene tree, and the inspector for the areas.

>>527372860
that's how you end up making the same project over and over again and learn nothing

>>527372952
That's more of an issue with creativity if anything

so many pretentious fags in the thread today that's weird

>>527372851
lmao
I don't know what a reel is but this is your chance to put away the phone and become a yesdev

can a $25 tablet be good enough to produce this without giving me lifelong carpal tunnel?

>>527372523
Tracing doesn't do much for you. You want to get neurons to connect for the task you want to learn, and tracing isn't part of that task. Learn to break images/subjects down into simple shapes, circles, rectangles, triangles. And then build the drawing on top.

>>527372952
The other side of the coin ig. You could also be an over analyzer who thinks too much and never follows it up with action.

>>527373110
that's pixel art you don't draw that on a tablet
you could juse use a line tool

>>527373110
That was made in an era where underpaid Japanese wageslaves spent 80hrs/week manually placing each pixel using a mouse. They didn't even have dithering brushes.

>>527373110
That was sketched on paper and pixeled over with a keyboard and mouse.

>>527373110
Of course.
The people making that didn't even have tablets.

Fully formed sentences make my head hurt so I'll just call them fags.

>>527373147

>>527373290
zero passion get rich quick slop gambling
he needs to learn marketing, including the "make a game that people actually want" aspect, otherwise he'll stagnate with endless double digit review flops
the fact that he can make so many games so quickly is impressive, even with him using assets, but he doesn't make games people actually want (exit 8 was an outlier, most anomaly games underperform), and he hardly promotes them
marnix has potential to make it, he just needs slightly better market intuition
you can't just pump out slop nobody wants, your games need to be appealing

>>527373920
i started learning art last year. i don't think "just draw more" is good advice, people learn a lot of things way faster if they have direct tutoring and feedback even if the amount of practices are relatively low. i have been doing drawing and 3d practices once a week or once every two weeks.
however it is true you must learn one thing at a time, if you try to rush and make your first drawings convey more than one fundamental you will end up wasting a lot of time and end up dissatisfied with the final work.

>>527374808
>"just draw more" is good advice
it's good advice for people who have been learning for a bit(months or years) but feel they are not progressing as expected. most learners are not drawing nearly enough to reach their goals in the time they want.

>>527348667
Is your game made in separate projects and imported into one big one? How's Unity 6 btw?

>>527374569
it's not just marnix doing this alone, biteme games consists of 4 programmers that took almost a month to make a horror asset flip while using an existing codebase from their prev game.

>>527375130
Oh yeah, notch and Ben Aksoy are poor as hell.

>>527374979
People say this like Notch only ever posted on /v/ or something. He had pretty much every social media imaginable and his own website. The first ever Minecraft build wasn't even posted to /v/ but instead to TIGSource. That's completely different from most people who only ever post their shit to 4chan.

>>527375364

>>527375067
it's strange how they're so talented. i wish i was super talented at pixel art. in regards to pixel art are highest tier pixel artists are
Acrolyte, Landsword, that one dev with the unnamed game with that girl with white or whitish hair. that one dev with the creature capturing game that seems to rarely post is pretty good at art but idk his animation skill.

i wish i was as good at pixel art as the first 3. i can definitely see myself succeeding if i was that talented.

>>527375450

oh no no no no

you need to do your own art to get your game to stand out. i realized this while going through this years nextfest, so many polished games but they all looked similar. there's a certain charm to custom assets and it adds to your personal brand.

>>527375696

Now look at it on a CRT

I've noticed that the grifters in content creation tend to target children as their main audience. For YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, the biggest money-hungry grifters focus on content geared towards children. They tend to do quite well with enough effort. Similarly for video games, Roblox is heavily geared towards children and many devs on their make incredible revenue.
Why do the indie grifters keep trying their luck on Steam? Would it not be better to focus on a platform with more children on it? They tend to be extremely supportive of low effort "slop" content, so long as it's stimulating.

Should the moneydevs fuck off to Roblox? Or use their gamedev skills to create videos instead, like the skibidi toilet guy?
I really don't think Steam is compatible with the get rich quick "gambling" we see from so many slop devs.

>>527376569

That's not an insult when Undertale is one of the best selling indie games ever made.

sovl beats fidelity

>>527376862
pretty sure roblox has a worse cut than 30% and its algorithm isn't as helpful as steam's to push your game
roblox as a platform for your game is like what steam would be if the "50-70 games per day" pasta was real

Day 14 on a Thread for Project C-Con – "Wasted Days" Edition
Journal logs are being posted into /agdg/ daily.

Yeah I have no excuse, shit day in terms of any real progress. I woke up very late and on top of that did stuff (outside of dev-work) until it was basically too late to do anything for C-Con. I did mess around in-engine a bit to see the feasibility of a custom character controller and implementing mechanics/qualities (i.e.: like a static acceleration speed) that reaches max walk-speed right away and deletes all walk-speed right away with no sliding. All of that is going to take work, I'll be further doing that tomorrow and also following the C++ course which I now find interesting.

What is Project C-Con?

Talent is real, however, it can often be a crutch that allows people to surpass you due to your own self confidence.

Just as IQ is real, and there's difference between intelligence with people, and just like being talented in a sport relies on having the correct proportions, strength, bone density, lung capacity, muscle fibers, etc. Talent, in terms of something like art, must have something to do with visualization, hand-eye coordination, visual memory, and other abilities that are more (naturally) developed in that individual than the general population.

Kim Jung Gi's ability, of drawing complex things from imagination alone, without reference, although definitely developed through training on that skill, he almost certainly must have possessed a "talent" that the average artist doesn't have, which allowed him to develop that ability far faster, and with more quality, than most people who will try.

Talent, is largely overrated, unless you genuinely want to be the best of the best due to an ego/pride thing, but any person can probably reach the top of their interest through training for a long time, even if they don't possess a natural ability on it.

>>527377636
That requires being crazy though

>>527377713
Why? Are you retarded? I never have issues.

>>527377818
what about creativity? an artist can be really technical but lack creativity and uniqueness in their art. think of portrait painters for example. creativity is something that can't be taught.

Almost walked on the moons, just need a little more balencing

>>527377818
>Kim Jung Gi's ability, of drawing complex things from imagination alone, without reference, although definitely developed through training on that skill, he almost certainly must have possessed a "talent" that the average artist doesn't have, which allowed him to develop that ability far faster, and with more quality, than most people who will try.
He drew every spare moment from age 5 to 47. by 18 he had already drawn more than most 30yo pro artists. the talent he had was addiction.

you don't even have a game, do you?

>>527378169
i never understood why this guy is so renowned. i base an artists value on how usable there art would be in a game and this dude's art is unusable.

>>527378302
Is that the FZD guy?

talent only really matters for sports that require a body built for that sport
for other skills if you keep blaming it on talent it's just some cope for you not practicing enough or practicing the right way (which is where a lot of people fail and think it's talent)

>>527377971
>what about creativity? an artist can be really technical but lack creativity and uniqueness in their art. think of portrait painters for example. creativity is something that can't be taught.

Don't really disagree, but I think that there are things that an artist, who isn't that creative, can do to increase their range (creativity).
Amassing large amounts of reference of other artists, and copying different things from different artist (to create your own style), and doing something similar for the subject matters, can imitate "creativity" in a way.


>>527378169
Don't disagree with you, but there's also other artists who attempt what he did, and fail. Although he was clearly obsessed, which allowed him to develop such a unique ability, he must have also probably possessed "talent" in terms of visual abilities, those being what attracted him to art in the first place.

You can see his drawings as a teen, from imagination, and they are far better than adult artists are able to do after years of practice. He had already developed his own style, and was able to draw from imagination anything.
Not to take away from his obvious dedication and obsession.

>>527378302
Unless you are an artist it will probably be difficult to appreciate what he's able to do.
I, personally, do not find his art to look good either, but I'm just not into "inky" styles. However, his ability, of drawing anything from any angle, with ease, from imagination, is the hardest skill you can learn as an artist, and he doesn't use any construction or almost any sketching, it's really hard and he makes it look easy.

>>527377998
This looks grating on the eyes.

>>527378302
his performance art, sure. He is most renowned with artists, watching finished drawings in correct perspective flow out of him with no presketching is quite the sight. but he did art the 'normal' way too.

>>527378530
That because I need to redo it.

>>527377849
Hi juan, how have you been?

>>527378697

It really comes down to mindset conditioning:
>get made fun of for getting a math question wrong as a child
>now you believe you suck at math

>now you believe you are 'talented' at music

You could have practiced either and become great.

>>527378508
>t there's also other artists who attempt what he did, and fail.
because they started too late, already had bad habits. kim started age 5 drawing everything his eyes could take in. which led to the wide view fish-eye effect in his art

>>527378752
>>527378759
Don't disagree at all that practice, and obsession, trumps over talent every single time.
But "talent" in terms of art MUST exist, just like talent in sports, or things related with IQ, do exist due to more tangible tests that we are able to measure in modern times.
I do completely agree that this advantage is probably minimal, and only accelerates the development for the artist at the very start, or in ways that are able to be imitated by different ways.

I had more problems with unity than I've ever even come close to experiencing in godot I've had zero issues in godot

>>527379190
>not a problem in these engines that use 3rd party languages

>>527379271
He's not a real dev anon just ignore him

>>527379271
unity's primary language is C#
Unreal technically have 2 primary languages but both work

>>527379365
>unity's primary language is C#
Which is a 3rd language. Only oldheads remember UnityScript.

What DAW should I pirate?
The easier to use the better, I mostly want it for synthesized sound effects.

>>527379419
Reaper is free and pretty damn good.

>>527379419
Just use reaper and when you get good pay for the cheap license.

>>527379009
>or things related with IQ
I thought higher visual spacial IQ may be 'talent' for artists. But then artists like Glen Keane have aphantasia so idk.

>>527379413
UnityScript was discontinued
something godot needs to do with GDS

>>527379526
It's A, right?

>>527379528
GDscript is great. Whatever issue you're having is a you problem.

>>527379560
obviously

>>527379457
problem officer?

>>527379457
>>527379495
Reaper it is then.

>>527379650
So it's like Winrar where they pester you to buy a licence but you can keep using it forever?
Then again, 7zip is superior and FOSS.

>>527379770
yeah. not aware of a superior FOSS daw

Is there an actual FOSS DAW? every other domain is spoiled with options it seems.

>>527379898
It would probably be shit.

>>527379650
Reaper ain't free, the sound design must be litter with the blood of the nodev. Fygonn ,aka fagoon, is not a yesdev, he is ideaguy and problably a crab as well :DD Osur and Brannodev not Cris and bokudev ok. Post game

>>527379528
UnityScript was discontinued because people weren't using it. By Godot's own metrics, it's far and away the most popular language. Picrel is from just last year.

>>527379898
LMMS. I rarely hear of people picking it as their preference though. Could just be a regular skill issue like people being too precious to leave photoshop.

>>527379986
https://lmms.io/
looks like it

>>527379854
Me neither, otherwise I would have used that instead.
Maybe in the future. After all, even Blender used to be kind of bad until not too long ago.

>>527379419
the niggas saying reaper make no sense lol
if you want to sound design I'd pirate bitwig

>>527380009
Redpill me on Rust.

>>527379190
Are you retarded?

>>527380069
>LMMS is still on 1.2.2
Good lord, man.

>>527380127
Reaper the best DAW hands down.

>>527380181
antithetical to making games
and on the programming lang side, it's a dead-end stepping stone language, not the future.
don't waste your time

>>527380215
it's good if you customize it a lot but it's pretty mid otherwise

>linux
>godot
>krita
>gimp
>blender
>audacity
It really is the best time to be alive for a freetard

>>527380273
Why would you need to customize it?

>>527380357
tf is that question lol

>trying to learn a DAW
where do these audio niggas get all their knowledge from? do they teach this software in schools?

>>527380480
Are you too retarded to answer and explain your own dumb statement? Did I fucking stutter? Why do you need to customize it?

>>527380535
why do you put settings in your game? what a retarded monkey, go ask your dumb shit to chatgpt

>>527380526
There's 2 things on the side of your head called ears. You use them to listen and thats basically it. Outside of that just learn what tools do so when you need to fix something you know what tool to pull out.

I don't want to work on sound effects...
I want to make 3d models while listening to the latest episode of my favorite podcast!

>>527380602
Stop with this retarded cop out shit and explain yourself. The fuck do you need to customize to suddenly make it better?

You add a track, you press record, you route and add fx mix and master. None of that requires customization to make it better. It works as is.

>>527380526
It's why i like FL, extensive tutorials, official and unofficial.
and the one DAW that is 1 time purchase and not subbed.
Though not a fan of the slowly encroaching cloud shit.

Can someone list me all the /agdg/ games that are rimworld clones?

>>527380625
>just use your ears bro

ok baby, audacity seems to be perfect for you if you just need a track and press record kek

>>527380862
Yes, turn knob and listen.

>>527380879
Anon,that's what a DAW is. It stands for Digital Audio Workstation. Its whole purpose is to track and record audio.

You guys are kind of stupid, you know that

>>527381013
yeah

>>527380996
>Yes, turn knob and listen.
I would prefer to learn an intuitive tool

>>527381164
Then avoid audio.

>>527381013
Just kind of? thanks.

>>527381164
DAWs and music are just visual programming in a different form.
Once you accept this, it will be easier.

>>527380273
...how is it mid if you don't customize it? Customization would just be your own preferences for things. Literally all DAWs do the exact same shit.

>>527381232
I have a kalimba. I did find a node based DAW that was intuitive 10 years ago but idk what that was

>>527381378
Doesn't matter the DAW, you're making music it's all about what you hear.

>>527380862
>>527381164
this image is pretty simple to understand after you know the parts of a synth. don't listen to the retard larping with shit like "just use your ears bro", "all a DAW does is record and track audio bro"

>>527381729

Seeing as how I own a studio and actually make money recording people why don't you suck my balls?

>appeal to authority on anon site
>advice is literal "just use your ears"
this nigga should be on /dmp/ shitting up the threads there

>he thinks you make good music without listening to it
No you're right, go ahead and buy another vst plugin it'll totally have the tone and or power you need to finally fix your mix!

>>527379854
Ardour is probably the best FOSS daw right now. Haven't used it.

>>527380526
There's a compendium of videos by "kenny goy-a". Put them on 2x and you'll receive a lot of knowledge!

If you want to make Chiptune music use Beepbox and its mods.

i never make it to the stage in development where you actually need music

>>527382245
>it had a sequenced bass preset that sounded perfect

>>527380862
too much information overload. of the 3 things for gamedev, i have near 0 interest of learning music or sfx. i can just pay for that. i have more incentive to learn coding or art.

gamedev aspects of each
>art
Can make game look like as I imagine.
>audio
Can make game sound as I envision.
>coding
Can make game play as I desire.
now think real close. if you could only have 2 of these skills improved massively in an instant, which 2 would you pick? i'm sure most anons here would pick art and coding.

>he thinks there's any use to his advice of "just use your arms and legs and to become a professional formula one driver"

>>527382432
Nice strawman faggot.

Shut up before I rape you all

>>527382483
>without listening
and this isn't a strawman?
kys please, actually not going to reply to your larping ass anymore

>>527382421
i'd pick art twice

>>527382602
https://voca.ro/1fCp2UXBY4k6 is the type of shit I come up before bed when drinking. I bet it's better than anything you could throw at me and it's just a random track made on a wednesday at 3am.

The fuck are you even on about at this point? Recording music and mixing it is entirely based on your fucking ears and what you think sounds good. It's literally an entire profession to hire people who listen to songs for you because they hear better and have better rooms to hear better in.

I'm so fucking tired of retarded kids on this website.

you can have someone do your code and it won't make a difference. art on the other hand.

Is there a way on Steam to see how many people that have the game on wishlist, played the demo, or similar?

Yo that's dope, reminds me of all the industrial metal type stuff from the late 90s that was in games and movies.

cris having basic layering for once would certainly be a step up

i genuinely believe the story is the most important element of any game
even ranked pvp games have the implicity story of "the player is grinding to improve their skills"
i really do think it's much more important than the average dev would assume

>>527384002
I agree on a very small point, I have a book nerd hired to write my story already.

oh you're just making up a definition to make it sound less retarded

>>527380526
Recently got the Arturia V Collection, and some other softwares (Ample Bass TR6, Impact Soundworks Tokyo Scoring Drum kits, and Shreddage Hydra), still haven't gotten to try them tho, too busy still making the models and landscape for the prototype of my game.

I downloaded a bunch of courses of music theory, FL Studio, etc. But there's this guy who streams and uploads good videos https://www.youtube.com/@boyarmira/videos his name is Nick Mira.
He shows the process of how he creates beats, obviously, his style is more for nigga music (rap) but I think that the things he teaches of music theory, and how to use FL Studio, can help anybody looking into it. He's really talented.

>>527384381
>oh you're just making up a definition to make it sound less retarded

Resistance is the enemy. Procrastination is the enemy. Posting in these threads is also the enemy.

Why would anyone use crap like unity.

Once again mogging retarded children in the thread.

cris... I'm surprised you were the first one here to point out that AI is a scam. You're a pretty smart guy but unfortunately you just had to be mentally disabled.

>>527385297
i used to make VNs on renpy but tried other engines because i wanted to add "cool stuff" like when characters in a car - a 3d scene keeps going with 3d buildings and stuff like that

But man FUCK THAT....the best thing Renpy gets right - is text and smooth transitions.
it's a hell and so tedious to do that in other engines

>>527385376
If they'd shut the fuck up and take a seat it wouldn't need to be pointed out.

First of all >>527386292 this lol

but people were making games and putting them on floppies and passing them around since the 80s brother

>>527386239
shareware, and in general indie games were just about sharing cool adventure games you made in the late 70s and 80s

>>527366767
my cousin had baldi's toys. He probably made shitloads from merch.

>>527384002

people value "lore" and making mental dollhouses of characters than actual story

In Hitler's defense, trying to draw foreshortening and in perspective is also making me want to start a genocide.

and he looks just like shinji

>>527385183
>>527386657
He did create a number of paintings/drawings and ironically they are even quite heavy on perspective. But yeah I think he was imagining in his mind there to be some resistance preventing him to get into the Academy, I believe he wrote about that in his book…

hitler in fortnite when?

>>527387765
it'd be too powerful, the world isn't ready for that shitposting

>>527387528
in today's world he'd be accepted in no questions asked because there's been a huge push to get everyone through higher eductation no matter how dumb the subject matter or how talented / untalented the person.

I should've skipped University and gone straight into gamedev. The only thing I've been able to use a prestigious University degree for is a visa application I applied to a year ago that has mysteriously vanished off of buggy government systems. If my country were technically an EU country then I wouldn't have had to do all that either.

You people are just baffling. Of course gdscript has method overloading, what are you all on about?

class Original:
func whatever():

class Child extends Original:
func whatever():
.whatever() # super() like in python
print('this should print after "whatever"')
