Mystery of the maligned is pretty liked among puzzle/detective gamers on next fest threads

its not that i give up, its just that right now i dont have it in me to continue

a game where you have to make friends

power fantasy game where you kill bad guys

haven't been on here for a few months, still trucking along on my vamp survivors deckbuilding game,
When I've got a little more of the art done, I have to start marketing... not looking forward to it.

Complaining about tacking random words from another language is weird when your name is "midnight gatos"

>>527633507

90% of marketing is your product. Marketing a marketable game is easy.

>>527633513
was a dogshit post when it was on /v/ too

>>527633513
that isn't remotely japanese

>>527633697
It's more of putting myself into the mindset of social media user, creating the content and all that, and i'm already stretched thin working on the game.

I’m having a really nice day today

Ok, I have the first chapter of the game in his final form. I ask once more for you feedback on the gameplay.

>>527633513
Americans nuked japan, twice, haven't apologized, appropriated their culture, then start immigrating there and appropriate not just culture, but land aswell. Uhhh ameribros...you guys are weird, I get japan makes good video games but no need to do all this.

i feel like i'm frying my fucking brain trying to come up with unique ideas for this hypercasual slop i'm making
but it feels worth it, i'm making good progress

the trick is to steal your ideas. digseum($400k gross revenue) is just battleship with a number goes up stapled onto it.

are there any pixel fonts that actually support the bulk of chinese and japanese characters?

i'm trying to dev but I can't stop watching this season of fishtank

It's like I get it now. Humans send their 18 year olds to die in wars that take hundreds of thousands of people dying to win. Why dont they just let themselves die on crosses like christ if they are just gonna get forced to die in a war anyway

224 reviews as of today (6k followers)
in 26th of april, the team thanked the audience of 20k sales (4k followers at the time)

assuming a linear review/follower ratio, it must have had around 150 reviews at the time of that post
that would be 133 sales per review

>https://steamdb.info/app/3304770/charts
also worth noting how it barely had any followers/engagement before the release

>>527638661
Yeah? So what?

Fuck. This game's a flop. I'm not project hopping. I need to finish this ASAP and move on. This isn't it.

>>527637592
>However, please note that while many CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters are supported, many of them are nearly illegible due to the small size,
cool

i have made zero progress today or actually the whole month to be honest

prgoress: The jetgun now fires a beam instead of a projectile.

I also realized that for like a year now I had sorted projectile sprites writing to the depth buffer when they shouldn't have been.

Trend chasing doesn't work. It just doesn't. You need passion. Your game will not be good if you don't have intense passion for it. The energy required to make it good will not be there if you are not passionate about the game. Triple-A companies can chase trends and compensate for the lack of passion through raw graphical fidelity and intense marketing campaigns. Hire a team of 100 desperate artists, spend $50,000,000 on promotion campaign, and pump your game full of microtransactions if you need money. I can't do that. We can't do that. We don't have the resources to make this happen.
Passion is everything.
Without it, your game will fail. It will not be good.

Oops, I accidentally designed and developed my game solely to scratch my specific autism itch and while it works exceptionally well at doing that, I forgot to factor in the fact that only I have this itch.

>>527640195
I've been making progress every day but haven't posted any in months.

>>527640195
I've been making progress fast enough that if I posted it all I'd manifest a schizo angry at me. (happened before)

>>527640223
retard

>>527640195
i have no vision for my game so my progress keeps stagnating, i don't know what i need to do next because i don't know what my game is supposed to be

>>527640329
I never know what to post either.
I guess I'll know after demo day but not posting progress lowers your chances of receiving feedback.

>>527640223
trend chasing does work, if you're content producing 6 month trash, its an income, makes a living.
Sure its not passion, you're right there, but there is a place for that trash, I'm afraid.

>>527633513
Kek I was right, I was sus about this guy so I checked his account and it's checking almost every red flag I had about him within the first few posts. Who are these people that give them views? Bots? Dude claims to be "white" but then goes giga woke. His gaming opinion matters not. This is literally the kind of person that would not play your game but woah add something anti woke and he will try to get your game negatively reviewed if its brought to his attention and pisses him enough.

>>527639254

who the fuck reviews a porn game?

okay it's time for me to do my first ever game dev tutorial. i will be using godot because it's free. i should probably use unity because i have experience in c#, but i wont.

>>527635145
Ok I played for like 30-45 minutes Just gonna spew some thoughts

- I was able to finally figure out the UI after 3 attempts
- Selecting probes on the mission planning screen is jittery
- It's hard to tell what completing a contract will do
- I wish if I hovered over my goals, it gave me an idea of what to complete to achieve them. IE: "fly Crew" -> Research Crew Capsule. Research improved engines etc.
- I felt like I was missing some choice for my expeditions. I mostly just clicked probe -> locations -> Mission. I wish there was more to do on them (Send this type of instrument, spend x amount of days etc.) so I had to specially make probes. Although maybe that comes later in the game
- Really like the visuals of the planet spinning
- Hard to tell what is driving my income/losses

Overall, I did enjoy it. Might play some more and see if I can get out into the out planets, and see how much the game opens up. Seems like there is plenty of content, just wish the day-to-day gameplay was a bit more engaging.

>>527642786
it's a boss rush, basically could be seen as poe2 without the grind, but... the game mechanics are really not similar to poe2, the combat style is more like ff14

but hey, rude question >:(

>>527642697
make sure that people can bind whatever fucked up keybinds they want, like SLTI

wait its really two months between demo days?
where the fuck is my progress...

crabbing is the best KPI

Stop demonizing dopamine, it's an essential positive neurotransmitter. If your game doesn't facilitate dopamine release I'm really sorry but chances are that it's not a good game

>>527643075
yessir! But it might not have key bind setting yet for DD

Better than a certain virtual agrostologist.
Wait a second…

i just realized the reason i got into gamedev was that i thought its the only way to make money as a creative in the modern world, because most people dont pirate games, opposed to e.g. music.
what a bad reason... i should quit i think

>>527644105
i got into it because its the only thing i know how to do a little bit, and i can do it in the comfort of my NEET cave...

Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.
About 700 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, 100 games a day, 3000 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.

>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025

>>527643048
It's one of those things you should think about. As someone who has played PoE2 and FFXIV extensively, I see no reason I would play your game over either of those. A boss rush should be a climactical event. Games, like any other form of media, require contrast. i.e. In the words of Bob Ross, "You need the darks to see the lights." You can't make an entire game that's always just high-octane action, or players will quickly become fatigued.

A hugbox echochamber is the deadliest breed of crab.

>>527643786
I'm guessing, now remember this is only a guess, that that's a webm of a game in development and not a polished game post-release. Again, just guessing that here in the amateur game dev thread, that we're witnessing some game dev of a game in development.

>>527643517
looks like YTC. But keep going.

to you, eating good must mean having a breadcrumb every 3 days.

>>527643543
No, but Barone is discussing how, despite how hard he tries, he can't make a game that's as big of a cultural phenomenon as The Frydarian Tale (new from N-Type Studios).
Honestly, I agree with him.

>>527643048
he's right >>527642786
As a developer you should always be asking yourself this question because your players are also going to

>>527644320
Neat

>>527644205
that's true, in term of contrast, I plan for it to be player progressively deal with harder and fancier boss as he progresses.

but the question "why not play x instead" is tough for me because my creativity is kinda limited, most of the stuffs I've made are all derived from games I've played. I just mashed them together the way I like it

Is there a concept contrary to speedrunning?

Like a game where is less about doing things faster, but just meditate and do thing slower?

>>527644671
There's a reason why popular games are designed the way they are. You can't just take the grind for gear out of a game made by Grinding Gear Games and trust that it'll still be a good game.

>>527644868
>basically could be seen as poe2 without the grind
Ehh, it's kinda a bad answer, because it's really not like poe2 aside from isometric

If I'm gonna sell it: It's a boss rush action game where you progressively kill harder boss, each boss mechanic is a puzzle for the player to solve.

what happened to cosmic construct dev? He was so confident about publisher deals, massive players coming from next fest etc, and he hasnt even cracked 200 wishlists in 1 year?

>>527645485
He's over 500 wishlists

>>527645394
So, basically a soul-like without the corpse run to keep players locked in or a MMO raid without the social pressure of teammates to keep the players locked in. How are you going to keep players locked in after they fail for a 2nd or 3rd time?

Getting a few k wishlists seems like the easiest thing in the world, and yet adding a 0 to the end of the total seems like the most impossible thing in the world.

>>527645718
False

>>527645759
>seems like the most impossible thing
Have you considered making a good game that people want to play?

>>527645237
this summer sale is gonna be great...

>>527645653
Well, if you distill it at that level, the only answer I can say is I hope the things I've made: graphics, sound, story, combat mechanics, game feels and difficulty level are enough to keep the player hooked.

>>527644808
yeah that's just called playing the game normally lol

>>527645330
ive been friends with sewer sauce dev forever, and we talked about making a quick game for DD once 'mongo was released. he's handling the visuals and i like the art. it's nice working on something completely different visually

stop lying and just say what you think, my game sucks

>>527645943
Your graphics are good by /agdg/ standards, but not good by professional or commercial standards. Even if they're AAA quality, I wouldn't count on players sticking around to grind the same boss fight over and over again if they don't have some pressure keeping them there.

>>527641247
Some effects linking the sword to the guy when he's trying to pick it up would be nice, either that or make it shake around a bit, would help to give a sense of some magic happening.
I'd probably make the fire sword glow brighter just before he throws it too, especially if you plan on having it be used in any other attack.

Having multiple contract per expedition to get additive bonus come later but your idea is not bad.

>>527641297
Also how far did you get?

>>527654667
>>527654796
I blew wayyyy past my 5 year deadline, and had just finished researching the crew upgrade. Realized I needed better engines, and then got called away to work stuff. I had only made it to the first moon.

Personally, I think it'd be cool if you could optimize things for objectives. So like you could send a base probe and complete the contract, OR send one with extra fuel and get +50 research or something like that.

Another thought, I never realized what accidents did (assume they are worse with crew)

How do you find 3D artists to commission?

>>527655679
The more you complete contract in one expedition, the more bonus reward you get, each action you take has a random chance to give an accident, each accident give you a 5% malus on the reward, at five accident the ship explore.

> So like you could send a base probe and complete the contract, OR send one with extra fuel and get +50 research or something like that.
I really like this idea but I need to find a way to implement it.
Either by adding a set of challenge you can choose at the start of the expedition or maybe extra objective you get on each moon (like taking a supplementary orbit to do a photo)

I just wish I had energy

I'm finishing up some projects and will have time for something new, I would like to get more into gamedev (worked on 3 games so far). Most of my experience is with 2D, trad and digital but I've done some 3D modeling. Still putting together a portfolio.

Let me know a little about your game (genre, style, engine, scope: like 6months vs 5 years, commercial/hobby, etc) and we can see if it would be a good fit and we can connect off-site.

Totally normal French cartoon for little children.

if you want money, focus on exposure
game quality is secondary

>>527657920
Are you sure it's not a lifestyle problem?

>>527658208
I don't know how to focus on exposure.

a good game is going to sell no matter what.

I mean think about it.
Let's say you have something really good and you just know that if people understood it or were simply exposed to it, they'd love it. You'd just go around talking about it with full confidence.

But when you know you were trying to make a quick buck and trick people into playing garbage, you accept lack of attention because you know what it really is.

Make the game you'd play.

i dont like the idea of using ue5/unity and i don't know why i feel that way

>>527661016
when I have more to show I may do a concentrated 'NEET and GREET' to find a passionate clutch of NEET devs who believe the same things as me and like the same things to make the best games ever with.

>>527660242
I liked cosmic call better. I was hoping you learned your lesson and would have moved away from the meme genres. I'm no longer supporting you

I'll only allow NEETs on my team. They 'get' me and I 'get' them.

I have no patience for 'I got called in today.'

Just pure NEET Fantasy obsession mutual objective obsession collective council of the gods.

>>527662063
Just use a framework and get nothing done at all.

>>527662417
NEET here, c-can I join your team... .....?

I remember seeing a roblox game before that, when you clicked on the roblox menu, the one used to leave the game, it started blasting noises and a full wall text showed up begging you to stay. I remember it even said something like "I worked so hard on this, I want to be successful" or something like that lol
Lmao, roblox is horrible, no wonder slopdevs don't want to migrate to it.

I'm going to do a concentrated invitation once I get on YouTube. Feel free to build your skills and/or perhaps join another NEET.

We can literally be Renaissance men. Programming, art, music. We have so much power in our hands right now.

I gotta get back to programming.
I will do a concentrated call once I get on YouTube. Which is very soon only a few more tasks left.

at least it'll help me get a job copium

a game where you are a sexy lady working in a food truck but instead of making food you blow customers in your van

>>527662776
If I decide to let others on, I'll do a concentrated call for NEET devs once I'm on YouTube.

And they must be from /agdg/.
Don't hold me to that though, I may just go without a bigger than 2 person team. But , I may also do a call for NEET devs. I'll have to see. And I want a NEET dev who is basically my twin brother.

I hope that I at least gave the NEETs here the idea to work together though.

Love you.

>>527663893
yeah, look at Indeed and see the salaries of Vulkan programmers. It is kind of wild.

It is like FANG level salaries.

>>527663521
make it a sequel where you start in the truck and have to earn enough to upgrade the truck a couple of times before finally being able to afford to buy your own store and you'll be rich

just realized Vulkan Dev salaries are nonchalantly and consistently well into 6 figure ranges.

i might have to give up on godot and make a unity game purely so i have access to the asset store. what a shame. maybe i could use unreal. they've made it a lot more financially appealing in recent weeks.

will you guys still gamedev after the nuclear happening ?

A game where you're a gamedev developer but instead of working on your game you spend your day farming replies in an israel honeypot forum.

woops...

>>527664404
>>527664793
They're not really that good.
I'm seeing 100k to 200k. Not bad but nowhere near faang or senior engineer positions.

You can make that much with a js job using 1/5th of the brainpower.

Not that I'm dissuading anyone from learning it, it's just not the best effort to pay-grade trade off

>>527664989
there won't be nuclear happening.

But I will always game dev. It is the Divine Motivation. I've been game deving since eternity.

I'll keep game deving. I'm going to unravel this reality like a scroll and then restart it but this time way better.

>>527665343
thanks for the feedback, I'll bring it up with the inner circle head of demoralization and we'll get it sorted

I think NEETs have either huge ego or mental illness so collaboration is impossible

Alright, all the invites should be sent by now for this year's meet-up. If you didn't get a notification, there is either no clear way to contact you or your game just isn't complete or compelling enough.
As always accomodations will be provided for the week, but if you have financial difficulty with travel costs, there are instructions in the email for what assistance is available.

Looking forward to seeing you all again and some of you for the first time :)

seriously i wish i had intrinsic motivation, i wish gamedev would just be fun, but my motivation is always more about getting something else.

Just ask hobbydevs one simple question, and you'll see their mask slip.

>>527668325
the real question is "why not charge for my game?"

>>527668325
no one will play it if I do that.
And everyone will think it's low quality if I release it for free on steam.

Even my dogshit jam games make my friends go 'DUUUDE YOU SHOULD PUT THIS ON STEAM'

normies see steam as where pc games and indies have to be

>>527668325
You have to be deep in the game to even be aware of itch honestly. If you want people to play it (regardless of how much you charge for it or not) it's a better idea putting it on steam.

>>527668325
if its free you are the product

zomboid showed me that the ideal game is a hardcore survival game with permadeath, combined with comfy cozy safe-space base building.
the tension and release formula just hits hard.

Marnix said that copyright laws in Japan are extremely strict. You need to provide a disclaimer that they have full permission to stream your game. Otherwise, they won't touch it

>>527669531
The UI is terrible and I don't like the crosshair either. idtech and build games relied on aim assist and didn't show the crosshair so maybe remove it?

>>527669761
what the hell... where do I put that on my steam page...?

>>527669761
That is interesting. I will keep that in mind when publishing my game.

sigh.... (sigh again)....

why are all successful devs lazy asses who make maybe 1 update per year for their early access title? while tryhards fail left and right?
is it because hard work cannot create soul? because soul is character, dreams, feelings, visions etc. - whereas hard work is calculated formula slop?

>>527671250
nobody gives a fuck if you tryhard some shit that isn't wanted

>>527671250
I will be the first successful hardworking dev.

>>527670771

The UI, which I assume is a placeholder and the guys on the ground being completely white. I'm also a little torn on the colours, mostly the fact taht the blue is so eye-catching but it's the literal floor and all the bits you're supposed to be looking at for target acquisition are all shades of grey.

yes because of the year it came out in and because it was the cutting edge at the time. Xbox is dead. Gaystation is dying. Normalfags just play mobile games and gambleshit nowadays. If you're making a shooter in 2025 it better either be Call of Duty or it needs to appeal to PC gamers

why aren't you remaking successful itch thinky games for revshare?

so close to giving up on my game, i hate it, everyone else thinks its shit, i have no vision
but if i give up on my game i give up on my life, it's all i've ever done with my entire life, despite making barely any progress over the years
thats it. im going to buy a gun and shoot myself. and i've never even had sex before.

>>527676121
You were a failure the moment you entered this jobby thinking you would make one game and one game only, rather than learning all the skills needed to make any game you could imagine. You do not need to announce your departure.

>>527676121

I'm starting to think that fun is nothing more than walking in a grid, where you earn random numbers of points to fill a progress bar, to unlock a random poker waifu card.

>>527676418
someone already made that

>>527672782
The only games pcpoors play are f2p, ancient, or FOTM sloppa. Targeting consoles (the meme deck is an honorary console) is the future of indie dev.

>>527643517
>updated quest component to transition and update

>>527677895
the best definition of fun i've heard is something like "when the profit you make is much bigger than the effort you have put in".
ofc profit is highly subjective. anything that makes you feel good with little effort.

>>527678145

The guys being white looks better in motion. I think if you add more colour to the walls so that they inherently stand out as the only "colourless" things in the map, that'll probably help.

The eighth gen was just a remarkably bad console generation and at the time the average pc gamer could afford better hardware than what was in the consoles. Now the average PC gamer will cry if a game doesn't run on their nine year old 1060.

Do game animators make their animations from scratch, or use a base like mixamo and edit it to match what they need?

I just came across a video where the voice over was AI-generated yet hardly anyone pointed it out in the comments.
There even was a comment chain complaining about "muh AI and creating things" and barely anyone mentioned the fact that the video they just watched had AI voice over.
So why does /agdg/ think people will immediately spot AI voice in my game over when shit like this happens? I actually put effort to try and make it sound good.

>>527681921
Something I'm struggling with but ill keep looking at other things outside of games for inspiration.

How would this make you feel?
You enjoyed someone's demo, gave them feedback, they were thankful and it was an all around positive experience. You sincerely had a nice time.
But then you find out that their art was 80% AI or so, and they didn't disclose it at all.
Would you feel betrayed? Angry? Would it make your heart race knowing that you had been "tricked" into having a good time?
Or would you be alright with it? You had fun, after all, so no harm no foul.

>>527682426
Unreal comes with two different procedural humanoid movement controller for free that are good enough for most games. The Unity store has a few similar ones that are also sufficient.

Many such cases.

Good choice. I thought it was a joke at first but there are actually many vibe coders here.

Making a prototype for my first game is hard because I want things to look nice, but I have to force myself to not splurge on assets and focus on making the game work.

>>527683706

Nobody's commented on my AI art and quite a few have played my demo :)

>>527683682
Not to mention every other poster here is a bot. I've seen the "It works" with an anime/loli image get posted a little too many times for it to be organic.

>>527683442
Angry at first then kind of thrilled at something so new. I'd probably rush back to play it while telling myself something like "I just want to make sure"

It would probably make me feel a little guilty that I was enjoying something that I felt was so wrong, but I wouldn't be able to stop myself at that point.

They're even too stupid to recognize how their AI detection isn't 100% (or even close, really.)
They just have in mind all the times someone's said "Look at this AI art" and then they see it for AI art.
I have a ton of AI art in my game, almost all of my textures are tweaked AI, and it is completely indistinguishable from something human made.

No, the post is real, the issue is that it's impossible to prove that the image was really generated. In fact, the prompt text from the "proof" image makes it look like a meme/shitpost because those are some really bad keywords for what he's trying to do.

>>527687280
if your argument is heading in the direction of "I don't think AI can do such crayon scribble type art" then I've already won and accept your concession.

I'm gonna do it
I'm gonna make game!

>>527687432
I think the post is highly suspect and I think that if AI can produce an image that looks like that it's something like a 1/10000 chance since I have never seen another example of a similar styled AI image across the entire internet. If it could do it easily the internet would be flooded with them.

It's funny that you call others lunatics when you're the one that's mindlessly pushing for shit you don't even believe deeply in that was advertised to you by retarded enterpeneur (that means grifter by the way) tech bros "bro this will replace real art I swear it's finished" you clearly don't even understand why people care that it's made by ai even when it's "indistinguishable" from human made art, you don't comprehend it "but it looks the same" think about it for more than 5 minutes, and no don't let someone else think for you.

do people genuinely not notice? like aside from colourblindness obviously it seems like the piss filter is really, really obvious on people's recent generations... (or maybe it's just "generate then post" or something. idk.)
>>527691173
i have heard something about inbreeding being an issue with ai (gigo principle) but honestly i wasn't expecting it to become so visible so quickly - or at the very least i'd have thought ai companies would have "keeping our own generations out of the source pool" as an absolute priority if at all possible
then again, considering the scale of the operation of "grab every single image from google images", i suppose it'd be difficult to handle that beyond the obvious of automatically not including images with an "ai" tag

Try to finish game loops instead of mindlessly working on assets and databases. Do the animations for walking, attacking and collecting loot and then program a level where you can do just that.

I think I'd probably be more successful if there wasn't a cloud of self loathing that stops from sharing my game because I don't want people to hate me for spamming them.

Gamers.
I'm ready to put up my game's steam page, but is it even worth it?
My game's only about 15 minutes long (it's like a short story horror game) and while I've gotten good feedback that means I'll have to set its price at like $1.50.
Not that I'm expecting to make money off this specific game. It's more like this is my first game and I made it while learning how to gamedev but it turned out so well I want to launch it.

Should I just make it free then?
Would it have more reach that way?
Am I overthinking things?

>>527695958
Cheers, I think the Idea of dwarves being industrious lends itself well to the kind of games people enjoy, Its an archetype. Plus I believe that Every successful game on steam can be infinitely iterated upon so as long as each developer stays true to their own vision rather than parroting trends there is always room for more games. I for one would love a market place with 5 competing games in the fantasy genre which I see a lack of.

a game about skibidibi toilet

the moment you want anything you basically make the absurd claim that your monkey brain is able to control this reality to a degree to obtain it.
ofc it's different to want something right in front of you, because that's easy to achieve.

>>527696645
Why are you even releasing on steam? itch is the place to go for short horror games. Sometimes I binge play a couple, but only the free ones

>>527696645
You probably won't make it to the payout threshold, but the experience from releasing on Steam is well worth the $100 if you intend to continuing making games.

A $1.50 game will probably get more visibility than a free game, though marginal. Steam has zero reason to promote a game that isn't making them any money.

>>527696645
What is your goal?

If you want your game to reach the largest audience possible, making it free is best.

If you want your game to reach higher quality players i.e. people willing to pay for the experience and whose opinions actually matter, because they're willing to support you, then put the $1.50 price tag on it.

I would say, if you want to improve in general as a game developer, you need to sell your creations. People who pay for your stuff will judge it more strictly and objectively. You'll also learn how many people are willing to pay for your game, which I think is more valuable than reaching 10x more people, most of whom will only have a passing interest in your game due to the low barrier to entry.

In general, paying players will be more into your game and will generally give higher quality feedback and will stick with and think about your game longer than people who get your game for free.

Too much shitposting. A lesson of "don't shit where you eat", for those who would even care to learn it. Is some fun? Sure of course. But for years, the entire thread is almost all shitposting.

This is surprising to no one. As I've talked about, game development was relatively safe from attention seeking normies until it became trendy in the 2020s. Now the ratio of posters who don't care about games to ones that do is 90/10 or higher.

Another good reason to make a game paid: refunds.

What % of people refund the game will also be a good data point for learning how to communicate expectations to the players etc. Steam also lets you see the reason for refunding from the reports - they pick from a list of reasons and can leave an optional anonymous comment.

/agdg/ was always drama, in 2016 it was rotate dev which /agdg/ mindbroke and he became a tranny.

reminder

I just realized my scenes architecture is very inefficient. I have a Main and a Game scene. But it's a simple mobile game with like 10 different backgrounds. So if the player goes back to the main and starts a new game all those backgrounds will need to be loaded again and effects will be pooled again and again. It's flawed at a core level. I need to change how my game handles the scene loading fundamentally. Should I just say fuck it and leave it like that? Right now I can't think of how I would refactor this and I really have a lot of work to do.
Anyone else handling their scenes like this?

It's already been said. Agdg is just a ghost of its former self, everyone who tries to make their game seriously have moved to either the discord or actual gamedev websites.
The only remaining devs here are the ones with a game that attracts too many schizos haters (kannadev), the new devs mistakenly redirected from /v/ (who goes immediately back when they see how shitty this thread is), and the few old devs that don't want to use discord.
