Oh, yeah?
So here's your (You) attention deserver.

Went to an independent game expo and showed off my game.
Was fun.

>>527479328
How much did you spend in total and how many wishlists did you acquire?

>>527479179
Jeez I like Dark Souls but the cult surrounding it is just awful.

I hope you guys appreciate the work I'm putting in to keep him away from here.

>>527479462
First off my game is mobile so a whopping 0 wishlists
Second about $110.
Met a cute, tall girl but she was too liberal.

>>527479475
if your game isn't giving directionless males purpose then it's not a good one

What's the fundamental difference between a casual story game like Telltale's The Walking Dead, or Disco Elysium, and a conventional visual novel? The graphics are different, and there are differences in gameplay mechanics at rare instances, but for the most part, they're effectively point & click story games, no?
What are your thoughts on this? I'm trying to identify similarities. I don't play these games very frequently, so I lack the experience to discern the differences.
I am aware there are differences, but they feel so miniscule, that both types of games can effectively be classified in the same category.

>>527479719
A lot of games are just visual novels or movies with extra steps.

>>527478426

latest in 3d ai modelmaking (looks like trash most of the times)

>>527479914
>extra finger generator, but 3D

>>527479843
Yeah, that's what I was sort of thinking. Maybe calling them all "visual novels" would upset people who enjoy the genre, but at the very foundation of these games, the appeal stems from the narrative.
I really need to get better at understanding narratives. I think that's my biggest weakness as a developer. I can make cool prototypes and mechanics all day long, but as soon as I need to come up with a story or plot to get people interested in my game, I fall short.

>>527479565

honestly I only need two modes.
I need a roguelike mode and the VN mode

and the boss fight
and the town jrpg 2.5D

>>527479914
if you guys just learned to 3d model instead of relying on aislop you would know how to by now. You literally just have to invest 3-5 days nonstop.

Correct, why waste time on a generic male model when there's a million free ones and it's not gonna be super unique. Easy to use as a base for modeling NPCs and such as well.

>>527484624
for the guy who made it to jerk off to his pedophile weeb humiliation fetish?

After further review I have severely overestimated how "good" I am at gamedev. What would take me 3 years to make could be done by a competent dev far faster than me, 6x as fast in fact. 6 months is within reason. Do I just suck at gamedev and my idea's are simple? It's the only way I can see someone competent making it that fast. This sucks, it's not like the early 2010's where cloning was unlikely. I can't even post my game without the risk of this happening.

>>527479903
VNs kind of improve on books by adding background images and character portraits that set the mood. And porn scenes.
Telltale games are just worse movies. They remove a lot of the interesting visual design and camera tricks that make movies what they are. They don't even live up to being a choose your own adventure that well cause things usually narrow down to one path regardless of choices made. Even the cheesy eroge VNs are better in this regard cause the main route usually branches out into routes for each girl that play out differently.

>>527486547
I've never played a Telltale game, but plenty of movieslop games have cinematic cutscenes that uses all the usual movie camera tricks.

>>527481540
shut the fuck up already

>>527481410
a visual novel that IS gay. I played this recently for... um... game dev research purposes and it was crazy how shit it was and yet sold decently. Was looking on VNDB and there's really no trap VNs (disregarding the abhorrent 3DCG and AI ones).
The same seems to be true of most fetishes.
Just make a bog standard jap style eroge and you'd for sure have a market. Keep it light, no weird politics or culture shit, and make good appealing art and multiple sex scenes and it will sell. Hell picrel only had 2 short unvoiced scenes per "girl" (with one of them being more foreplay-ish, so really one one scene per girl) and people still bought it. Looks like the bar is set low for WEGs and somehow no one's really serving this niche.
Going to grind art and draw some delicious traps to hopefully make one one day.

Just dropped an idea I've thinking about all day.
The next one will be better. I'm sure.

>>527483889
>mmo dev
He's a developer? I thought he was an unemployed doxxer.

>>527486676
well yeah if you're talking like Uncharted or TLoU tier moviegames, but that's out of the reach of us.
A Telltale-like would still be somewhat feasible if you're good at writing and animation. Bonus if you can find decent cheap voice talent. These type of games suck ass from what I've played and it seems like they could be done better.

>>527482790

Why does game development attract so many mentally ill people?

Good morning everynyan. Today is another day to spend shamelessly copying my inspiration game.

Yo what's up Arisu, are you single?

>>527493759
you mean losers who wasted their time on video games

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My complex save system works!

Why yes I built the entire save system without testing it once prior to the first test (less than 6 hours ago) where I had a few issues that were quickly resolved, one being I forgot to add a script. My second more expansive test was held back by a trickier to find issue only to find out the fix was something very simple I overlooked. It works woooooooooo!!!!!

I need to become faster at coding. I know all the syntax and stuff I just am super slow at deciding what needs coded next. I sit there not typing anything for 15 minutes thinking what needs coded next then when I figure it out it's 5 minutes of coding followed by another 15 minutes of decision difficulty.

>>527494158
I need to be able to just unload a constant unending stream of code for hours at a time like I used to, ironically back when I "sucked" at it.

>>527489063
I looked at a creator talk space the other day and someone was asking what personality they should give their influencer
it was a very weird question so I looked into it and they were using a site that automatically creates a fake influencer that uploads images of real women with an AI generated face placed over their face, plus AI generated pictures and comments to try and give the impression it's a real person so they can then get product placements and money from that

dead internet theory used to be cynical but now it's feeling awfully real. how do people dissociate so much that they feel okay pumping out useless, worthless slop? at least shitty amateur games often look like someone at least tried. Or used to.

Journal logs are being posted into /agdg/ daily.

Tomorrow I'll start working a bit earlier to get the superficial problems out of the way like fixing this weird error I'm getting trying to open a blank Ue5 C++ project alongside visual studio. Sunday will be a totally free day so we must spend most of it right.

>WHAT SEPARATES PROJECT C-CON
>A true fighting game in third-person with traditional FGC mechanics and no deck-building, or RPG mechanics. ... without diving into other genres like battle royale or MOBA adjacent modes.

Doesn't this just mean, the game has nothing to separate it?
The reason that people add those mechanics like deck-building is the base idea has been done a hundred times already and they need to separate themselves from it. So by not doing that, it sounds like the complete opposite.

Not to crab, but this sounds like

>>527499439
lmao

>>527499431
lmao yeah it's literally a rock texture. I also tried paper. Can't seem to find a texture that really says "i'm in a cumpled ppe suit"

>>527499567
I think it needs some better texture work, you could detail the wrinkles with higher contrast, maybe model the head covering so it doesn't follow the contour of his head so much.
Though, with low poly it becomes more convincing when it's all together, just the head on its own it's hard to tell what it is, but with the fully body suit it won't be too bad.

>>527504627
I can't really make the levels be constructed out of anything else but cubes, as like I have said its a game like spelunky/pitpot - there are tetris-like mechanics in the game that need it to be constructed out of squares...

i don't feel like implementing this whole campaign charade, but I... UGH just HAVE TO OK!?
I HAVE TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING THAT I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT SURROUNDING THE ACTUAL GAMEPLAY I AM INTERESTED IN BECAUSE EVERY OTHER GAME IN THE GENRE DOES IT TOO!!!!!

>>527507409
"Free movement" is really just really tiny tiles.

>>527507409
Yes, unless your gameplay specifically requires tile based movement like Megaman Battle Network, then it's best to go with free movement just for the nicer feel.
>>527507495
I hope this is bait.

>>527507409
It can be fun if it's connected to the gameplay. Otherwise it's just a stylistic choice, and slow movement on a grid isn't all that fun on its own.

>>527507782
he's right though. pixels are just smaller tiles

I just realized games doesn't need combat, they need a novelty event and a winning prize or some new token of information every 5-10 seconds.

What do I mean?

Walking into a newer level.
Finding a new chest.
Finding a bunch of secret coins.
Reading a new VN section.
Reading VN dialogs.
Finding a new secret area.
Getting a Key to unlock a chest.
Filling a bar.
Filling a grid point.
Doing a rythm section.

All that shit doesn't require combat, but can be as enjoyable as violence.

Yes you can pick things up and throw them with physics like in spelunky, but the tiles themselves only have downwards physics if they are not supported - similar to gravel or sand in minecraft they will fall down if they are not supported once they are disturbed. I'm also trying to implement water that can flow around the grid, but it looks shit at the moment.

>>527507409
pokemon-like 2d isometric looks like shit, especially with more complex designs, if you care about that.

This is part of why i fucking resent undertale/deltarune, this nigger toby fox is drawing houses in 3-4 minutes, the final castle of chapter 1 in like two hours and boom, he is done, there is no perspective, no lightplay, no nothing, it's all fucking ugly, fuck him for having so much success.

>>527507409
Tile-based movement makes pathfinding trivial.
It's not difficult if you do it with free movement, but still.

i made the cave sound physics dynamic by adjusting the audiobus depending on the average of the walls arround you
very fun solution

everybody hates my game and everybody hates me

>>527508539

thats cool if you put a webm into /wsg/ webms for other boards thread that would be cool to hear

>having a birthday celebration with family and a few close friends
>people congratulating me, shaking my hand
>one dude I barely know, dirty and greasy, comes up and makes a weird face and does this thing with his lips
>"I make bideogames, I make bideogames" he says jumping from one foot to the other in a gross caricature
>my friends clap and start doing it too
>"That really is what you look and sound like" my mom says, also copying him
>They're all laughing and doing this mockery until I finally leave
why does it have to be like this

At this point in time my success would be a cosmic coinflip.

Unity games are the most decompiled software in history

The realization that good game actually means strong art style is simply crushing

>>527507409
It makes collision detection and logic + drawing effortless and easy as fuck but it is outdated and there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to move around freely these days. Even old SNES games had that functionality, it's now up to style/gameplay if you really want tile-based movement

Cris, you're on to something!

Alrighty good evening everyone, it's time to get to work. May today be blessed with much happiness and progress!

You are kidnapped and forced at gunpoint to make a game in 1 month with your current skills, that will bring in at least $3000. You HAVE to finish it in a month or you get shot so nothing with big scope.
What do you do? What's your game idea?

>>527510838
>>527511383
There's this if you fear that so much

My only worry is people decompiling and making fun of my spaghetti

Everybody who worries about their game being compiled are nodevs

3D sawatex-like. 3 weeks on graphics 1 on code.

>>527511665
This is literally the AAA and soulless MBA tard take, and you're gulping it down.

They deeply wish what you said is true, because they can just throw money at artists (or even better: AI). "More juice = Better game" is the reality they want, because it gives a clear dummy simple metric for what is "good" and how to maximize profit.
What they hate are the things that are ironically the indie dev's strongest advantage.
Creativity, story, soul, "risky" decisions, appealing to niche audiences, ...
The idea that some dudes have made games with "pixels" in their spare time and how by all their metrics Undertale and Stardew Valley should have been complete flops, infuriates them.

And here you are, playing right into their hands.

>>527512635
coom game full of a wide range of fetishes. Focus mostly on writing and having minimal artwork so I can cram as much fetishes in there as possible, every horrible degeneracy under the sun. Release on itch for free with an option to donate, as well as make a patreon where those who donate get early access to new content (I make a new build of the content I added every single day and the itch only gets weekly updates), and those who donate a very high sum of money can choose a scene or character for me to write into the game

>>527511665
It's worse than that actually.
Strong art style is necessary but not sufficient.

>>527513048
>More juice = Better game
this is true thoughbeit

>>527511791
I mean something like this

>>527513192
Not for me, and I want an audience who enjoys games the way I do.

>>527512635
a random quirky streamer game like hole digging simulator

>>527511665
Honestly tends to be the opposite, but marketers told people otherwise so that's what they believe now.

>>527513201

>>527513365
Be more specific nigga, that's like saying "I'll just make a random quirky game like Undertale".

>>527512635
I would make a heavily promoted ad farm mobile game that is just a dumbed-down/optimized for mobile clone of whatever streamer game is popular at the time of my kidnapping.

But fine, here's some examples:

Just add a 'but.'

>>527513863
uummm but isn't Diapers, Please! just a copy of Papers Please? I'm not saying they deserved it, but...

>>527514043
Yeah, it's just outside the updates in that screenshot. It took weeks and the thief got $60k before Apple bothered removing the game, so it's not exactly a win for the dev, is it?

>>527514176
It's okay if he steals from devs, not the other way around sir.

>>527512635
Digseum rip-off. Some guy on Reddit made one in under 300 hours and it has over 2k wishlists as of right now. At the expected 20% Week 1 conversion rate, that's about $3k. So $10/hr, without even considering the tail. Dev still has 10 days til release, so if he can maximise the wishlist procurement in that time, then he earns even more.

>>527512635
i'd make a super basic asset flip horror game in a week and spend 3 weeks spamming it on tiktok and youtube before release
a walking sim where your eyes blink automatically, every time they're closed you get glimpses of demonic images, and as the game progresses, every time you open your eyes after you blink, your reality shifts to become less and less coherent
the objective of the game would be to survive the day as a janitor who wakes up, drives to work, cleans up an empty facility, and drives back home, all while their mind slowly erodes with each blink
it would be pretty easy to make, and the premise would be interesting enough to market
games like these don't generally blow up, but $3,000 would be very possible if you sold it for $5 with a 30% launch discount

>>527514265
This but unironically.

>>527513863
This is so sad.
>check steam page and see AI art
nvm they deserve it

>>527514327
could you link his game or reddit post?

believing is everything. when you believe, you'll put in infinite energy. if you'd deeply believe that your game will make you rich and if you believe being rich makes you happy, then you will gamedev non-stop. if you don't believe it, you wont do it.
the thing is, you cannot control your beliefs. they get shaped automatically. that's why you cannot really control if you make it or not.
just like in the movie inception.

>>527514559
why would i care about reputable platforms not allowing my game to be stolen when irreputable platforms are allowing my stolen game to be sold and make money off my work?

the reason you need motivation is because you don't believe. when you believe you don't need motivation anymore. motivation costs a lot of energy, that's why you never finish your projects.

that's why kids who do their parents job are so successful, because they have deep-rooted beliefs that it'll work. unless they hate their parents, then they'll avoid that specific job like the plague.

>>527514783
thanks
it looks good, it'll do well if he gets enough exposure for it
i remember nodebuster and digseum doing well despite launching with ~200 wishlists because they got youtubers to play them
it seems to me that for games like this, they'll flop like Lhama Clicker if you don't promote them, but since they're so addicting and accessible, they do relatively well, like Snakecremental, if you get enough eyes on them
this is exciting, i hope he finds success

>>527514881
I don't know why you care about this so much, you don't even need decompilation, just take the build you got off of the itch or steam download and put it elsewhere. There are a billion ways people could steal your game, just let it be man.

Anyone have any gimmick ideas for a third person shooter? I'm open to anything.

70 to 90 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.
About 560 games in the week around your release.
AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.
Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)

Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 80 games a day, 2400 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."

Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.

This is what dynamic dispatch does to a mf. If every change you make to your codebase stresses you about possible failure, then that's a N^x problem.
Write procedural code, use switch statements, use global variables to sketch the code layout, and then move them to local when the structure is apparent. I never worry about code "magically" failing down the line.

>>527504259
SOVL. Good stuff anon.

>>527527427
not nearly as much as they deserve, which is my point
a job simulator cashgrab made in 3 months and shilled to twitch streamers will receive 10x more exposure than a genuinely good game simply because it made more revenue
i'm not saying the cashgrabs don't deserve success, but i personally believe there should be less emphasis on revenue and more emphasis on review quality in order to trigger the promotion algorithms
i get that valve cares about money, but it's a bit too difficult to find unique games on steam, which is the main problem, while blatant slop trash is shoved in front of our faces because markiplier made a video about the game and got 5 million views
it's a race to the bottom in terms of game quality on steam, and if it doesn't change, steam will end up looking like the google play store in 5 years
not good for people who actually enjoy good games

the consumer and steam win, you lose.

>>527523957
You're surely not being serious? Of course normal fucking portraits are better than wojaks. Just give your NPCs some actual character.

How could I realistically make my game have more wishlists

It's almost impossible to catch the attention of social media scroller, unless ur game is the most beautiful thing ever graphics-wise promoting your game in social media don't works.

1) What is your favorite game?
2) How does your favorite game relate to your own game?

*purrs*

>>527530304
1 ocarina of time
2 it's a zeldalike but it's 2d since I can't into 3d

transitioning!

>>527523105
You're conflating "nepobaby" for "upper middle/high class"
Not all rich/financially comfortable people have connections that can make you a nepobaby
Alot of people here make this conflation. And I know it's a joke by the way.

>>527530304
Castlevania Rondo of Blood
It's a completely different genre but has a spooky gothic aesthetic

How do I make a Superpower 2 clone?

>>527531776
congratulations, sis!

>>527531776
Very fast progress on this game, how are you doing it? :/

>>527532090
he's actually devving instead of shitposting

OK, I HAVE TO make money with gamedev, whats the least resistance path to money in this shit?

I'm guessing kickstarted, preorders and selling promises

>>527532206
incremental games.

>>527532206
>Have to
You already failed in game dev. You should never get to that point.

>>527530165

>>527530165
for games like this, building a community of supporters on discord is your best/only option
be aware that you must update your game as they see fit, or they'll abandon it and you'll lose supporters
you need to take the slower approach of building a community, nobody else will be willing to look at your game otherwise

>>527532206
You want to shit out as many games as possible in a short period of time. More games = more chance for virality.

I would:
-Make a first person PSX horror game template
-Pump out these PSX horror games on a 1-2 month basis

Very limited scope so I would either get rid of combat or make it so you only have a couple items total. Hind and seek gameplay with instant kills is probably the easiest to implement. etc etc

i.e. the Puppet Combo method

>>527532206
You could make a game that is similar to an already really popular game, that way you don't have to create an audience and start from zero and if it's good the already preexisting fanbase will shill your game via word-of-mouth for you.

If making a good game is too hard for you then you can make a shitty game in google play and spend all the money in google ads, and of course add as many ads as you can to your game

>>527520652
Public nudity is a sign of wealth and power

>>527532382
no, I'm just trying to take this seriously for fucks sake, I've been dabbling with gamedev for years now, never made a complete game but have plenty of experience.

Gamedev made properly brings in a lot of dosh so I want to be that dev

>>527532605
just bee urself

>>527532090
>>527532181
I'm very motivated right now for some reason. I think I have a mental condition were my motivation is either sky high or non-existent.
This affects my daily life as well, as when I am not motivated I don't care for myself very much either and my life spirals out of control. this happens to me almost once a month or as often as every two weeks.

I have set myself a deadline with this game, I have only worked on it for a total of 3 nights, and I am limiting myself to one month on it then I will release it on my steam. Once I have released it, I will continue to work on my LizardEngine gameengine game. I might make this game playable in-game on the in-game-game.

>>527531208
Literally me

>>527532557
Maybe even do a P.T. fan game as a free title to get people aware of your brand.

>>527532887
ADHD. What actually is the gameplay of that new game though?

>>527532427
It's a puzzle game... have as a reference the game Baba Is You, it looks as ugly as that.

>>527532437
So basically wait till I release the game, and then grow a community over time?

>>527533141
Kinda like spelunky but with one big eternal dig down instead of stages.

>>527532605
>>527532206
make a game that would get as many views as possible on these channels
design your game to go as viral as possible when uploaded by these people
contact them aggressively when your game is ready

good luck, have fun, wish you well

>>527533181
no, as soon as you have a build ready for people to interact with, upload content online, release devlogs/progress posts, and ask them for input
trailers, progress posts, and demo builds will help you a lot with this
you want supporters before your game officially releases, so they can support your game on steam on release day and help give you a promotional boost
don't worry, people aren't very toxic, if you interact with the community you build, they'll become strong supporters

as soon as you have something worth showing, put it out there on twitter, reddit, discord gaming/gamedev servers, tiktok, youtube, instagram, etc, and ask people to join your discord community
build it up gradually, and interact with them in an organic manner

>>527532887

You guys should stop thinking in terms of a hobby. This is very real job. You are building digital toys. People enjoy games and they pay for them.

Plenty of medicore games make good money

Not sure if my doodle jump clone is actually fun or if I'm wearing dev glasses. Mechanics are rather basic at this point, it's all about that highscore.

Some of these are just wasted emails that get you sent to the spam box after you email enough guys. Also I'm 90% certain that Haelian asks people to fork over sponsor money instead of just supporting the dev.

Fact of the matter is 3D game wishlists are worth 1/8th as much as a 2D game wishlist. UH OH FACT BOMB.

>>527535798
My game is niche so this doesn't apply to my case

>>527533921
It's all slop. They have no desire to make anything fun. This is purely back against the wall trying to survive by any means necessary. Which is fine. But it's all fucking slop. Nazi zombies GTFO

>>527535798
what is the game is such production kino that it features both 3d and 2d scenes?
see celeste

>>527518162
I did for all that is physical calculation, it is the sequence of independent order that move the ship. Problem if I want to link the movement between them I need to link them.
Also
>Separating the physic logic from its sprite
that not really a good way of doing it.

>>527535798
incremental wishlists are worth 2x as much as any other wishlist

what do I do next fellas?
Ledge grabbing or bombs?

how about post progress, champ?

>>527537005

Just make a cozy game about decorating something. Car, office, battlestation, anything. Literally no gameplay, just assets, it's free money.

>>527536928
something is wrong...

>>527537171
Are you doing this with pure raylib? Or like what is your stack for this game I'm curious.

>>527537219
Gotta look up sales stats on this

>>527533730
He will outlive us.

>>527536928

>>527537219
too much work to be honest, all these 3D assets take A LOT of time, we need to go simpler like Hole Digging Game

>>527537941
just buy assets

>>527538168
I'm not investing in this casino

>>527537558
Yeah for this game because it's small the only library I am using is raylib.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC2_SL4EX1s

What are the best looking games here that have the highest chance of making it?

i give up, i cant make my game

>>527538513
Took a lot of integrity to not name my game just now even if it is true.

I'm at a point where my game is mostly complete, but now I'm just wondering how do I get the artistic stuff done?
All my music, characters, anything graphics related are just placeholders. Hell because I've been procrastinating so much on it I still dunno whether this is going to be a monster or robots game. Like hella completely new to this, every graphics is literally rpg maker/stick figures and really generic textboxes I don't even know how the whole commission thing works or how much I'd be paying.

>>527537941
The Hole Digging game took years to make by the devs own admission

Sometimes I feel like nobody will play my game. Then I see people buying Decorate Camper The Game and I have a little hope.

>>527538952
It fucking doesn't, it's just voxel plugin and some modding to make FPS character "dig"

It's fucking simple to make

>>527539019
May I see your hole digging game then

How much AI are you guys actually using?

>>527539113
Here it is

https://youtube.com/shorts/LqQNt29Vlks

>>527523957
To most players they don't care if something is soulless slop or not, but it will still negatively effect their view of the game even if they don't know why.
probably still better than copy-paste wojaks.

Ideal scenario you'd make them all yourself or get an artist but if you cba then this is better than nothing, I guess. I dunno, might be better just to use an asset pack because then at least the characters would be consistent.

having a cast of characters that're as absurd as the frogs/monk could be good if customers each have distinct personalities and behaviors.

>>527537219
Yes, that is my plan.

>>527526491
That you Chicken dev? I thougt the game was 3D third person

Going to print money with this chuds.

>>527538976
Don't worry, people will still not buy your game

>>527539557

>People hated wojaks as portraits

>Which is why I decided to do AI wojaks

working in 2d godot, and I'm generating line segments which extrude forward and branch out. How do I make the angles fully relative to the last segment? Right now I've tried to do that by using a vec2 direction and adding a vec2.from_angle offset but it's still being influenced by the world coordinate system and biased going toward -Y.

>>527532887
I'm disappointed in myself. I can't even put an equivalent level of progress in despite the amount of time I have put in. I'm sure this latest game of mine has more hours put in than yours and yet on a developmental standpoint of our games you are so far ahead of me. You still outpace and outcompete me in raw game completetion, skill, and talent. I don't think you understand just how skilled you are, you are savant tier. If I had this skill/talent levels then I'd have no doubt I could have finished my last game in <2 years and this new one in <1 year. Knowing people like you exist makes me terrified of showing my game and having it copied/cloned.

>>527537219
Anon you say this like its easy while it looks like that kek that's not easy.

>>527538976
That gives you hope? Lol a game like that doesnt for me. It just shows me how high the bar has gotten. I cant do 3D that good right now, what chance do i have of selling my 2d game with lower quality art than this?

>>527540229
The voxel terrain system in AGADAH was based on the same terrain system used in the dev's other game, Solarpunk. Guess how long Solarpunk has been in development, not a few days I'll tell you that.

So I recall you mentioning Outlast, what are you doing to make it like that or did you change your mind? Also is this in your engine or not? I saw you mention raylib so I assume your engine isn't currently capable of 2D?

>>527550156
it's slow so you don't have to worry about your game running too fast and contributing to global warming

Anyone else feel like a lot of their progress is pointless? I do lots of stuff to accomplish such simple tasks but requires nonetheless. If you looked at my game 2 months and then what it looks like right now, it visually isn't too different. Visually speaking a few things are handles somewhat differently but if it was set up for player only view, then I can se emy game getting comments of "have you done anything since I last played it?

dude, I'm being completely serious. It's obvious you don't give any shit about making this into a good game. You're a graphic designed who's addicted to polishing the graphics. I have no hope for this game because I've watched how you handled the development for the entire time since you arrived. You clearly want to be making comic books or graphics design. The people with more than 120 IQ can see exactly what you're doing. You've lost all my respect

There's a color overlay shader and a slight border vignette which isn't really visible due to the GIF compression, but I'm also drawing the walls with pseudo 3D cubes that have textures instead of sprite stacking like I normally do. Pillars and free-standing structures are still destroyable.

Smart dev here. 1k+ wishlists/week clearly shows that it has appeal, which is more than can be said of pretty much any other game that is posted here. Even if the gameplay is garbage, there will still be plenty of retards who are willing to buy it.

>>527553364
Even more kino! The scale of the tank compared to the tiny bus looks great.

>>527553678
Appeal to popularity is not what defines a good game. The game can still massively flop. Remember, at this stage most of the hype comes from the shiny graphics, not because of any kind of value the gameplay provides. The game has strengths which make it good scroll feed content but not a good game necessarily.

>>527551410
>>527553364
How many levels do you currently have for this game?

is this a chill general? I've been lurking and it really seems like people here are jerks.

>>527553925
So where's your game, anon? He posted his and put himself out there, you should post your better game and put it on Steam if you know what success looks like.

Of course, you're not going to do that. You'll never do that, because your game looks like shit.

>>527553925
retard

>>527554061
Kek you pit him in his place but I doubt he even cares and will keep coming back whining

Don't have anything to post today, but thanks to the anons who suggested I watch Princes Bride in yesterday's thread. I really liked it, gonna watch a Monty Python movie tonight

>>527554062
As usual, no counterarguments, no facts, no response but the desperate sputtering of copes

>>527553364
Good shit lad. Make sure you keep up the marketing drive. Could definitely see this breaking 40k wishlists if marketed right.

>>527554238
I presented data mined statistics. You don't have the necessary IQ to distinguish between facts and your own personal subjective definitions.

Can someone post that one copypasta about Landshart? You know the one. That ougtta put the 'cord faggot in his place

>landsword or acrolyte dev posts
>immediate fygoon melty
It's all so tiresome.

>>527553503
You need to understand this by now. This developer will never respond to your posts. Game devs need to be highly empathetic, and if you're being empathetic you'd realize he deems all of your posts as crab posts and discards them accordingly. You can't do anything about it, just move on.

>a shitty topdown game about turrets is actually LE GOOD because it has okay-ish looking art
No wonder the games industry is so fucked.

>>527553364
looks great is there a demo

>>527554652
It's more that he's too stupid and not empathetic enough to see that I'm the only one who's actually on his side. Everyone else is just drooling over anime gorl or pixel graphics or supporting him out of contrarianism towards the posters who played the game and saw it's one big nothing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-UN6uRMBRw

Are you ever really gonna make it if people aren't digging through archives for your old posts to try and ruin you?

>>527553364
when you are publisher negotiations, ask about making vinyl figures of these mechs. that would be sweet

landshart will underperform. That's pretty much guaranteed at this point

>>527551410
The grungy textures, the lights being different brightness and the one that's flickering.
The details are so good!

>>527554896
you should still post your game if you think you're better than him

>>527554814
he has one on itch.io, but it's old at this point: https://mezzaninesoftware.itch.io/landsword

>>527554896
For the record, I don't like his game. I don't think it's good, and I personally would never buy it. However, paying customers are retarded, and you're even more retarded than they are if you can't recognize that. Games that you think are good aren't necessarily games that sell, and based on the data we have, it is statistically highly improbable for Landsword to not sell well. Cope and seethe. Success breeds jealousy.

>>527549913
That's a sign your game is GMI

>>527555159
I don't think I'm better than him and I understand well enough that this isn't what this is all about. I see this for what it is which is that the dev is getting the most unimaginable hugcrabbing known to man.

strrange little fella

Samefagging dev spotted. This is Peripeteia all over again, where the schizo dev would get into arguments with people about his game pretending to be someone else

>>527555376

This is 2025, not 2016. Flash games with pixelshit graphics no longer make free money. Only systems games sell in a decaying stagnant market

also, i need 4 additional newspaper pages for the 4 extra challenge days, any suggestions?

Guys... Please don't hate on me... But I used AI voice acting in my game because I have no budget... Will you voice act in my game so I can replece it,?

>>527557860
it's the reverse. Normies are sheep

>normies = NGMI empathetic easily tricked loserdevs
>autists = GMI soulful creatives
>psychopaths = GMI exploitative grifters

maybe you need to start admitting to yourself that the game is just shit and it's really that simple?

I'm trying to embrace the metaphysical good

>>527557363
Yeah I agree wholeheartedly with the video. But Borderlands gets a pass because in general it's very millenial and "how are you fellow kids", that's a part of its personality in my opinion. I wouldn't add any memes into my game at all, I never considered it.

No one ever crabs my game...

>>527558171
>psychopaths
inner circle
>autists
schizodevs
>normies
useful idiots who don't believe the inner circle exists as an abstract institution for maintaining control and power

>>527558171
As much as autists hate to admit it, the normies rule over them. Normie games made by the normies for the normies are GMI because they have such a large market whereas autists games made by the autists for the autists are NGMI due to a lack of market participants.

>>527558171
>causes mental exhaustion
kek yeah, that's one way to put it

Good morning AGDG.
Today I'm gonna keep working on making a devlog for my game.

>>527558686
normie culture is fueled by autistic innovations that get watered down and deteriorated over time by normie tastes and sensibilities. Without autists you don't have any kind of video game industry before it hits critical mass. Without autists you have no new genres. Normies only know how to imitate and simplify, not to innovate

>>527558171
wheres the AGDG dumpster for type charts, this shit is not going to work in a game.

>>527558880

>>527558171
The autist in your pic made it all the way to the train tracks. Besides he is more of a schizo than an autist

>>527559001
thanks

we autists should start to collectivize. I started to realize that all our problems in agdg come down to normies being retarded and ganging up on everyone who disagrees with them. This in part caused this agdg dark age we're currently experiencing. We need to work together to subdue these relentless cattle creatures

>>527558171
add nodevs under "immoral/emotional"

>>527558861
That sounds just fine to me. Autists keep suffering for the normies' pleasure. You just know that autist made the cycle diagram because society in reality is a ladder with the autists at the bottom rung.

None of you faggots are autists. You are just losers

>>527559262

>>527559262
I have avoidant personality disorder

>>527559262
I was diagnosed as Aspergers a kid, but I was also diagnosed as schizo-affective in my twenties. I am the missing link.

>>527559492
We need to learn to identify normalfag behaviour and suppress or disregard it. Indie gamedev, and gamedev as a whole for some time before that used to be the domain of creative autists. We should not pay attention or support developers who clearly only think about money, marketing, and trends (like corporate suits) and become better at identifying developers who create their games out of autistic determination and a passion to understand games better

Answer this anons, what good is a gripping story if players will never reach it? If the anons who pretend to like you will never reach it?
At that point, wouldn't it be better to shaft the story and get 20 days of your life back?

>>527560993
>get 20 days of your life back?
more like 10 years in the case of marmo

Marmoreal's story is has zero grip.

>>527559262
True, we misuse autist too much when alot of us aren't really diagnosed.

>>527561362
"autist" has been misused for years

>>527560993
My gripping story happened before the game and shaped the world. Players can't avoid it

>>527560993
Marmoreal's story is shit. It's generic anime slop because that's all that dude knows.

Can you guys stop linking normie clickbait video essay shit. I'm not even a minute into the video and the game looks like a generic unity character controller with some shaders slapped on top.

>>527561362
I'm not diagnosed, I did some autism test online and it says unlikely. but I really like trains.

This is more bold and sincere than whatever plot you have. Your refusal to look at a game long enough to see that it has good parts will be the same refusal that others show to your game.

is the secret to good platformer level design to just put random shit slightly outside of the normal path everywhere

>>527563479
depends in some cases

I got the juice, but it's hiding under a tough shell like a coconut, except it tastes good unlike coconut milk.

>>527562313
Bold + sincere != gripping. The characters are introduced at lightning speed and forgotten just as quickly. There is no sense of narrative design. Introducing random enemy characters just to immediately kill and discard them is peak creative bankruptcy, not to mention a retarded waste of development resources.
