um thats a square

I'm thinking This is the thread

Imagine where your life would be if you invested all of the energy you currently expend into coping and seething instead into making a good, fun game that people want to play.

>>527708690
Who says I'm not doing both? If the inner circle had shown me encouragement and support like they have for every single other dev (even the losers) I would have been able to concentrate all my energy into gamedev but here we are

Soulslike?

had dream about cat tuxedo again

I'm starting for the first time with unreal again. used to be on unity before that. I'm aware it's a completely overloaded engine but it has some features which I really need and can only be found in Unreal for some reason even though engines used to be able to do them even 20 years ago

all I have to do now is get my ai model to convert 2d to 3d and then my work flow will be complete

>17 days left
Ahhh. I'm going to lock in and finish my demo.

Why aren't they using this thread? It was made first.

The control the narrative and astroturf only whatever is in their favour

hi chat any marketing chads on here? reddit ads are yielding me about ~120 clicks per day which translates to 20-30 wishlists, at the cost of $15 ish per day. wonder if this is standard?

I've been trying to game my steam page with better tags to get it to show in recommended for "more like this" for relevant popular games and discovery queue but wow is steam finnicky

90% of marketing is your product.

>bro the inner circle totally doesn't exist but don't you ever ever ever talk bad about them or we will cancel you

>>527712618
>ignore entire post
>say retarded platitude that isnt true
>you've never made a game, nor marketed one
ok thank you agdg you are very smart as always

>>527713001
You can't get canceled if you're completely irrelevant.

>>527713001
lmao they really are proving there is an inner circle by aggressively avoiding this thread. It's like how the devil runs away from the cross

>>527712315
Reddit ads are only worth the investment if your game is a lowest common denominator disposable game. Otherwise you should know your niches and directly go to them with targeted marketing

>>527713145
>ignore well established facts backed by decades of data from marketing specialists
>instead, search for shortcuts and echo chamber opinions that reinforce your preconceived notion
Sounds like you're willing to go through any humiliation ritual so long as you're not forced to make a good game.

I did it chuds.
I fucking did it.

I got an AAA gameloop done cheaply.
:D

Took me 5 months to make it, not 2.

I actually did it, chuds.

>>527713001
they don't exist. you're being hysterical. calm down. you're imagining things

>>527713371
>marketing? ummm no sweaty you should just magically intuit every possible person who could ever want to buy your game and beam the existence of your game directly into their brain, otherwise you're a slop ngmi!!!
Is that what you did with your non-existent game, faggot retard?
>>527713615
>well established facts backed by decades of data
yes all of which showing that marketing is a necessity, much like having a good game (which is the literal bare minimum, no amount of marketing can help a shit game) is a necessity?

It is genuinely funny imagining fat balding third worlders, seething on 4chan cursing and swearing at White gmi yesdevs. please keep going and also post hand

Promotion is only one tiny aspect of marketing.

>>527713930
I was trying to help you. You're being combative for no reason

>>527714107
I'm not being combative I'm just not taking advice from retarded brown people who have never released a game or sold any copies. Sorry!
>he doesnt even know that reddit ads let you target specific niche subreddits
lol, lmao even.

>>527712315
8 cents per click ...
well, 8 cents per view would be absolutely atrocious but 8 per click seems okay and a conversion rate around 20% is great, isn't it?

The wishlist->sales conversion rate can be very low sometimes but assuming your game is gonna cost $7 or so, you should get a small profit from the ads aside from the visibility.
Worth if it you can offset the advertizing costs from your income.
I dunno, sounds like you're doing pretty okay.

test

>>527713371
I hate reddit as much as the next guy but if you're looking for someone to buy a steam game on PC then it's a good place to put an ad as long as you aren't showing it on mobile.

>>527714791
>Paying real money for fake bot wishlists
LMAO LOL HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>527716224
That's a possible concern but it would require a bot system that uses steam and sets up wishlists and games are nowhere near as worth botting compared to other types of advertisement such as election advertizing.

Barack Hussein Obama (Partner of Michael Obama) is purchasing Russian bot farms with the Presidential Pocketbook to wishlist my game en masse in order to further the psychological torture being enacted upon me by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States of America.

Hello everyone, I'm a nodev, a pretty fucking dumb one too, I paid shit ton of money for a unity dev course some years ago, then I real life shit happened, I kinda had to stop, now I want to get back and I feel like I don't remember much of the stuff. I'm also artistically challenged (can't draw shit). How do I become better again? is going through Unity Learn stuff gonna help or should I just try to code what I want to do and only research when I hit a wall? I plan to post progress here weekly, not like anyone cares, but I really want to get back to coding... for now I will try to recreate some "simple" games like Breakout, Snake, Flappy Bird etc, so I can refresh my memory I guess. I remember using State Machine, but is it worth for bigger games (scope-wise)? like, does it help keep the code manageable or it doesn't really matter? last time (few years ago) I remember I got really upset when I wanted to make branching dialogues and hit a wall, had no idea how to do it correctly (used scriptable objects with possible responses and where they would lead to, but it didn't feel optimal)
sorry for the rant, im really ambitious, but also dumb and I want to change that.

>>527717731
just start anywhere and make notes as you go

>>527717731
>is going through Unity Learn stuff gonna help or should I just try to code what I want to do and only research when I hit a wall?
It's far better to make something and research along the way.
You will learn far less from a course than if you are researching->practicing->reviewing.

Why should I use Unity or Godot instead of Unreal?

>>527717731
Just fuck around in the engine until you get the hang of it

>>527718303
unreal doesn't run on any computer without a 500 usd gpu.

My nigga

So who won demo day?

>>527718303
because you want to make a game that isn't an assetflip?
