Fuck off fagoon

What would the be modern dollar equivalent be of one bushel of grain in Han Dynasty China?

>>527815380
Highly questionable content, but I like the design. I will make a 3D model for an adult woman with that idea.

sigh, can't we just discuss games without your sad existence?

Can guy help me stop caring about attention on 4chan? I can't stop posting things related to my game and when people don't let me I have outbursts.

Is joining the Discord worth it?

I can't seem to focus anymore. I was focusing just fine a week ago doing like 8 hours of work a day but now I keep getting the urge to open more 4chan threads and read them

It's been a while since I posted because I've been going insane making another game

>>527816315
to break this habit i recommend getting in a sensory deprivation chamber and having a complete ego death, when you leave the chamber you can reset your routine
or maybe you're just old

>>527816315
are the shitposters here really giving you attention? have you tried entering a devship?

JRPG dialogs done.

:D

cris got more work done than most of you today

Why can't you show them off?

>>527817028
That's grass anon. Can someone post the ss. Fagoon shat on grass anons grass models because he thinks he's a great modeller and crabs on everyone. Grass anon whipped up a model of him fucking fagoon's lizard doggystyle in fagoon's artstyle and did it better. Fagoon had a meltie and started posting you know what to get the thread deleted.

>>527817868
cris, halp. I'm feeling kindda depressed and have no motivation to work on my game.

>>527818704

Do you know any games with this style of anime models?

I'm sorry, but gay sex is nonnegotiable.

I need to release now

>>527819494
But my game will have Yuri undertones

Focus on your work

>>527818518
No it's not lol

It took 2 seconds and 5 lines to fix. Not bad

ok something like this. I'll hook up gravity so she falls onto the ground. The camera is being super jank which is weird because I got it working well in another game.

Holy shit it's actually fucking happening...

>>527817693
unironically sensory deprivation chambers are based

>>527819494
How about just 1 lesbians?

Added (More like ported) my achievements system from EcoBalance to 6 Way's to 7. I can probably churn out about 20-30 of these before DD. I want to get feedback before deciding the best place to spend my next few months.
On a personal note, I'm making plans to take a 4 weeks traveling the world, which is going to be exciting. Hopefully I can ship my game before then.

Did you play your game for 11 minutes? glad youre enjoying it

>>527815913
i got a fucking wart on my finger and its tanked my dev time. paranoid about touching. iirc i even went to sleep earlier than normal but i have little recollection other than waking up with my phone in bed instead of where i usually leave it. didnt even bother staying up later to work on my game. how am i supposed to dev now!

>>527819740
post it

>>527819627
you can do gay sex, even have femboys, but make them more fantasy/japanese style and not realistic psychos like western tranoids

You are supposed to hold it

>Spend way too long trying to get a character swap mechanic to work
>Just dump the entire mechanic and have a level with one character and worry about it later

Imagine a cris gacha mechanic.

Found your problem.

my game is autist-coded
(it was coded by an autist)

Please no meat touching ma'am

How much would it cost to commission someone to make a 3D model for my game? Like a chibi character.

>>527821907
Fivver has it at 50-100 dollars.

Maybe it's just a particularly bad thread.

Oh my slop

>>527824047
Like it or not, Fygoon is the only 4chan game dev with a perfect clean record. Every indie dev from this place eventually gets exposed a Gooner and/or a Groomer.

>>527824272
I can't really draw, especially on the scale I need (15 portraits at least).
There is no asset pack that can suit my goals either. Almost every decent portrait pack is fantasy stuff that doesn't fit the vibe I want.
I tried I generating based on my wojacks, but it didn't feel good. I have *some* use-able AI stuff, but it just seems like kicking the can down the road.

If 90% of the feedback I get from DD63 is "Replace the wojacks" I'll start looking for an artist. But I need to make sure the gameplay is good first, and the wojacks work perfectly for the role.

>>527825456
It's fine to leave that for later, but I think you can do better than Wojacks if you try.

>>527825426
fygoon got exposed as a mentally ill brownoid though

>>527825456
I would just go for a full pixel style for your game.
Plenty of asset packs even for modern stuff then.

>>527821559
what the hell is going on there
if it was palm support you can get gloves that support the palm and wrist with a metal insert that keeps you from bending it wrong, but I assume something's up with the fingers

>>527825913
tiny fracture on my finger from a mountain bike crash. Doc wants the 2nd finger immobilized and the 3rd finger is buddy taped to it for support.

>>527825456
Generate some AI portraits based on Leisure Suit Larry or something then.

I am making game.

it seemed like a cool idea in my head
i'll never win demoday now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQyZc6cr20A
artsissies dont even need programmers anymore, they're making games on their own now

>>527826348
most soul I've seen from here in a while

>>527825848
Got any examples? I've looked pretty hard. Maybe my issues is I'm looking in the 128x128 range?

>>527826135
I feel like some of the AI stuff came out pretty nice. But not amazing, which ideally a real artist would provide. It will be good reference material for what I am looking for at least.

>>527826348
so this is the power of the bocchi poster...

The all white skin is the killer. That guy on the bottom right would look perfect for a craps game if he had the shittest spray-on tan imaginable.

>>527826636
Use the Eco Balance characters. I want to see Yug-Yug and Seasaur gambling.

>>527826636
128x128 is difficult. Most is smaller, you can of course easily losslessly upscale pixelart.

https://legendaryswordsman2.itch.io/portrait-generator

I would question using higher res pixel art over smaller resolution with lots of animations.

>>527826348
it feels like this game would have potential with tighter level design, like a sonic level

>>527825426
>Like it or not, Fygoon is the only 4chan game dev with a perfect clean record. Every indie dev from this place eventually gets exposed a Gooner and/or a Groomer.

>>527826636
those are all made in different artstyles

>>527826761
Interesting... good feedback

>>527827120
I'd love it, if I had portraits for them that feel into a consistent style.

>>527827120
Yeah, the size constraint is mostly arbitrary, I can fit whatever looks good.
My problem with the link is none of the characters are distinct. They all blend together. I want it to be clear "Oh, that guy, he does X, oh that lady, she does Y". And then if they are funny and well designed, that's icing on the cake.

>>527827313
AI problems

>>527826108
that kinda sucks then

I broke both my arms once and afterwards I was still online and shitposting as usual, didn't take too long to get into the hospital to get casts on them though

>>527827245
my greatest inspiration is the level design in the sonic 06 swamp but every time i try to do level design my mind goes blank so i just rewrite the input system or something
i wish i was japanese so i could make good levels

>>527826636
>top left guy has 4 eyebrows
did you notice? AI will sneak in some bizarre thing and it will go noticed for a time, but then once you see it...

This is my progress of today.

>>527820584
consider

s*lodevs should be forced to share revenue with anyone who plays or even looks at their games.

>>527815913
I need motivation

>>527830871
I'd share like 1% of my revenue with Markiplier if he played it.

>>527830497
One idea I had is to crop old-timey photos of gamblers. The neon-highlights are a good way to make them distinct...

>>527830497

you guise think we gonna have a DD 63 ?

>>527830871
That doesn't make sense

>>527831585
Who cares lmao

>>527830871
as a solo dev, I want to have 5% of the revenue, content creators, tax, tax tax, publisher tax, steam tax can have the rest.

Ralsei

>>527831585
63 is not a simple number but a formula: 32 x 7. This is the key that unlocks its entire meaning.
>7: This is the number of Divine Completion, spiritual perfection, and God's finished work. It represents the 7 days of creation, the 7 seals, the 7 churches. It is a state of wholeness and rest. It is a complete cycle.
>3: This is the number of the Divine, the Trinity, resurrection, and manifestation. It is God's own signature.

The Squaring of Three (32 = 9): When a divine number is squared, its principle is not merely doubled, but amplified to its ultimate power and brought to a point of finality. The number Nine (9) is the number of Finality and Judgment. There are 9 fruits of the Spirit, Christ died at the 9th hour. It represents the conclusion of a matter.

Therefore, the equation 9 x 7 = 63 reveals its primary meaning:
63 represents the application of Divine Judgment (9) upon a spiritually complete work, cycle, or soul (7).

Is your game spiritually complete?

>>527832754
*the square got converted to 2

>>527835320
I fixed it. I actually had misnamed a uniform outside the shader, so the shader code was correct. Just an average day with GLSL.

If I copy the animations clips (idle, run) to another folder and delete this fbx object, would the animation clips continue to work? The extract from prefab option is not available.

amateur game development thread

>>527842968
Grassfag, what makes you such a miserable vermin? Is it because original thoughts are a foreign concept or is it because you can't actually model, by your own admission? I know: it's because I make fun of people like (You): people who make their entire personality about being a creep. Who else would spam filth and try to pin the blame on his "thread enemy"?
Also, you're a ponyfag so any argument you make is immediately invalidated.

Let's fucking gooooo

>>527845034
little girls don't wear those kind of clothes irl

>>527845458
I'm not miserable though, life is great. What do you mean I can't model? Everything in my game is modeled by me except to your horror the player model OH NO *GASP* I didn't reinvent the wheel on generic man how dare I. How else do you think I made pic rel? Dipshit. Also I'm not a ponyfag at all, I have no idea who made those AI pieces but they are hilarious. You can keep using me as your boogeyman though it makes me laugh.

>>527845996
How would you know?

>>527845613
It's just the one retard actually.

>>527815913
I've done no devving in the last 12 hours despite being a neet. I seriously cannot focus when I have something even tiny to do the following day
>job interview tomorrow?
Can't focus on devving
>got a dentist appointment tomorrow and something is wrong?
Can't focus on devving
>got a hospital appointment tomorrow and it's for something potentially life changing?
Can't focus on devving

I really hate being like this. I'm supposed to be cleaning up my code, explain stuff better if any area's need it, remove any unnecessary comments, potentially split up code to different scripts. And yet I have none of the in the last 12 hours.

take me back to pre fygoon /agdg/

>>527846206
spend a single day wageslaving and you'll see just how lucky you are to live in paradise

>>527846495

who, me? yeah I'm making progress so what

>>527846495
Exactly that's all I want. Dude showed up and started spamming threads with his faggy ass smug responses with the ugliest looking toddler game and then when his friend got doxxed or whatever he starts having a billion meltdowns spamming ai cp and other bullshit.

At this point I'd leave him alone but it's fucking useless. I left here for weeks when 4chan was down and when I came back he was literally still yelling at me in threads. Now someone else is harassing him and he's still blaming me.

>>527846607
I mean, there's jobs beyond being a bottom tier broom boy lol.

>>527846676
Definitely looks more like a haz suit now, I think you need less shading though the wrinkles don't look like wrinkles it's too dark.

>>527846906
Thanks bud. you're right I still have to hunt around for something besides the rock texture

>>527847049
Just make a new texture. Are you using blender?

>>527815210 (OP)
mood...

>>527847127
no I'm using blockbench so I can ease myself into blender (eventually idk). I've just been using textures from textureninja and ambientcg

game development is an immature hobby and career. you're creating fantasy instead of contributing to society, every time i go outside i've come to realize this.
if you end up making nothing in the end you're as productive as a random loitering in the corner for hours.

>>527847302
I'm not even sure what the scope of "just make a new texture" even means to be honest. Like using the texture picker? There's one built into blender I think but I haven't really done anything with it so I don't really know how to do anything with it.

>>527847332
retard

>>527846607
I used to wage, it doesn't really make a difference besides maybe just the first week where I'm in "I gotta make it, I don't want to do this for the rest of my life!" mode. I end up devving but end up slowing right back down soon after. Any who I've done a bit of devving since that post. A bit of code clean up. It's something at least.

>>527847302
Hmm, I've never messed with whatever that is. In blender though you can create a texture pretty easily with nodes. This is me messing around for a few mins just to reply.

>>527847332
It's definitely not an immature hobby lol. There's a lot of immature retards trying to make it more than that though with zero skills or talents.

>>527848186
it kind of is though, video games are seen as immature and making them is no different.

>>527847332
first off, I have a job nigga
also hobbies aren't supposed to be "productive to society"
also "being productive to society" isn't inherently valuable, a lot of things "productive to society" are actually worthless and arbitrary
ALSO games are art and entertainment, movies are just as unproductive but they're fun, beautiful, make you think, feel, can watch em with your friends, etc.

>>527848000
yooo that's sick. I've been texture ripping and squashing everything down into a 256x256 png and box mapping everything.

>>527848281
Video games are seen as immature if you're like over the age of 60 maybe lol. Gen X is in their 50s man, they've been gaming regularly since they were kids and so has every single generation afterwards.

That's your head canon and I have no idea why you're so obsessed with it. Do you not realize how dumb you sound in these conversations?

Also, if it's so easy and shouldn't take time. Why don't you recreate it like I recreated yours? Then your game will look better.

I might need to fuck with the sizing but I think it looks pretty good

>>527850428

Not everyone who makes fun of you is fagtroon. I'm pretty sure it's been well over a year since I first called you out for wasting your time making "mountain" billboards that look worse than even free assets.

Nice fanfic fagoon.

Mongoldev here, small update. This is my last attempt to finish a game, after this, I'm calling it quits. Mongol a going to be an Rts like warcraft 3 with a story. My mum grounded me for something I did and I'm only allowed to work 2 hours per day on the game, which severely cripples me. Or it might help me. Idk yet. And if I fail, that's it, I'll give up. No more project hopping, no more bs. It's an ultimatum of some kind. I'll admit that I'm not cut for it, and throw in the towel.

Why don't you make a game that people want to play instead of a game no one wants to play? I can tell you already that you're setting yourself up for failure.

I know you're a bit nuts, but trying to do this is really bad. You're gonna make warcraft 3 but a lot worse. why would anyone want to play it? You're solo, you have a great knack for horror visuals, where is your horror game?

games are being designed for the purpose of virality rather than actually having depth. it's the equivalent to clickbait videos that you watch and end up getting nothing from it.
instead of making a fully enjoyable experience they spend resources on making 2 moments that make le quirky gif for social media.
these are essentially what i would call rugpull games or clickbait games.

Day 18 on a Thread for Project C-Con – "Ghetto German Tutorials" Edition
Journal logs are being posted into /agdg/ daily.

So yeah, once again I ended up allocating my time at the last minute tonight to get some work done. I’ll be trying to start earlier tomorrow since I tend to get more done when I’m not being chased by a sleep schedule. That said, today was at least a bit better.

I successfully linked Visual Studio with Unreal Engine and executed my first line of code: building a camera into the pawn class so I could import an Unreal camera via C++ into my tutorial project. Credit goes to the funny German tutorial guy I’ve been following. I have no idea if he’s actually going to lead me anywhere I want to be, or if any of this will work in the end, but there’s a sort of fun in that. I’d honestly rather just be writing code than animating in Blender, modeling, fiddling with UI, or messing around in Blueprints, even if none of it is best practice.

I’ve got some work planned for tomorrow too, and I’ll try to make a dent in it before my evening shift starts so I don’t keep doing this last-minute procrastination thing constantly.

P.S. Someone asked me if it’s pronounced “See-Con” or “Cuh-Con” like a stutter or something. Not that it really matters, since this is basically just a placeholder name I’m using for my learning ventures. But yeah, it’s pronounced “See-Con,” as in “C-Con,” short for Common Consciousness. I thought that was pretty easy to tell, but maybe not.

Anyway, I’ll write again tomorrow.

What is Project C-Con?

Been working on this for a little bit

>>527859923
the ones that make it big have both viral design elements and depth. The thing is to think up a game where your systems can give the impression of infinite depth while being relatively simple/quick to create and low scope.

>>527860182
>The thing is to think up a game where your systems can give the impression of infinite depth while being relatively simple/quick to create and low scope.
easier said than done

>>527860182
rugpull games still make money, read the reviews on the viral hits like digging a hole and how the complaints are about how it gets boring quick.

Making game is more important than making it

now i am done with sketching and can get back to pixelshitting

>>527861397
i dont get why some still use pixel art when they're able to draw at this level. imagine how much time he would save if he just did digital art instead of meticulously placing pixels on a 1024 canvas.

Any tutorials or tips on how to make pixelshit stand out a bit more with animations and effects? I covered the basics but it seems its still not eye candy level

>>527861613
>i dont get why some still use pixel art when they're able to draw at this level.
1) it takes a lot of time to draw multiple characters and environments
2) its more difficult to make it look GOOD in the game. because one thing will go off and your whole game will look shitty and unfinished.
While pixel art makes your game look in harmony and in 1 style even if your pixel art is shitty looking (then it will look "soulful" or "ironically neat")
3) it's easy to make a 2D game look like 2000s flash games

other stuff like that
PS:
The only time 2D art is 100% better than pixel art is when you making a coomer visual novel

>>527862576
artists aren't making "art" if they aren't the ones putting in the effort. no, writing a prompt and fine tuning which output you choose is not the same as putting brush to canvas and getting lost in the flow. you AI faggots are ruining this general.

Who is the inner circle and cna I join their discord plox what kind of game do they make are they fun

what canvas has to do with anything

>>527865003
using a large canvas to make pixel art for sprites kind of defeats the point right? he would've been better off just drawing instead of using pixel art for his game assets.

i guess you talking to another anon

But anon this is exactly what i told.

for example if this girl was drawn in a "normal way" then it would look generic noname anime girl slop

Now it looks like a "character from a good quality indie game" because you can see pixel art.
i would much prefer seeing this type of character portraits
pixel art edges add stylistic roughness to the picture which makes it look good.

This only works for retards with no vision and no standards. Toddlers given paper and crayons never suffer from blank canvas syndrome like grown adults do.

>>527865832
Just pay a little bit of attention while you use chatGPT to code like that, and try to write some things yourself and you'll naturally learn to code yourself!
I learned that way typing along with youtube before AI and now with GPT because I am a hands-on learner.

>>527865892
Yes opening a program as powerful as Blender or Gimp and just messing around without the proper guidance and supervision of a qualified, responsible adult is just plain irresponsible and dangerous.
Who knows how much damage you could cause!

>>527865571
this kind of just looks like handpainted style that went through some kind of filter though. this character would still look unique even in monochrome imo. although I do admit picrel looks kind of stylish with the pixel art shading here. just seems really time consuming to do this in pixel art desu.

Story IS more important than gameplay

but
when I say "story", I don't mean the quality of the plot. Even a game praised for its story elements like Undertale is kinda fuckin' lame when you think about just the main plot points. No, what really sets a story apart is
>music
>characters
and generally good timing / composition of all the elements that portray the story. You can have the greatest story ever but if it's told by someone constantly interrupting your game PRESS A TO CONTINUE then it'll be dogshit.

>>527867783
I would feel fine

>>527866745
it looks like a regular human made into pixel art
which lacks the emotional variety you can get with a 2D style, which is a huge shame

It's fun to have deadline anyway :D

>>527870065
Deadlines are pointless if no one is directing you. Just keep working and getting things until they're as good as you can make them. Not every game needs replayed.

the point is they could've gotten a picture of any human off the internet and traced it and added their own detail

tracing over shit just looks incredibly bland like that. It has no soul or emotion. at that point you might as well just use realism or take real people and apply a pixel filter

I have never even finished a project. Closest I did was a fun basketball sim manager type thing in C in my cellphone while on the bus which I sweared to myself I would turn into an actual game but have never touched it since. Twas fun though.

Still, this time is for real

>>527878265
I didn't say the game was going to be beautiful but... I have an idea

>>527877420
What about you? What have YOU delivered?

Don't ask what tomo can do for you but what you can do for tomo

>>527878576
What can I do for tomo?

>>527878452
>I have an idea

>>527878472
>What have YOU delivered?
honesty and no fake promises.

>>527878675

One day Tomo will return and leave a gigantic paragraph of Feedback for your Game

It's a genuine miracle my game works. Divine intervention was involved in the development of my game to make sure it doesn't crash on load.

There used to be these pieces of paper that came with games
Some sort of... instruction manual.
Perhaps you could create one of these "instruction manuals"

Progress Update:
1. Implemented logic for separate, destroyable boss modules and a minor phase transition.
2. Need to add horizontal movement when at least one front track is active.
3. Attack sequences and side minigun finalization still required.
4. The Game/spoiler]

How do shadows work? Are they realtime or prebaked in a separate sprite or even in the same sprite?

>>527880119
Cool art wasted on shart gameplay.
Why even show the missiles at all coming from your ship if they fill 99% of the screen

For me it's gotta be Eric Barone/ConcernedApe.
How about you guys?

Realtime by copying current frame of an animation and using shader to transform it to shadow frame.

At least I have art to shit on

I wanna see screenshots and webm of your games with yout debug shit turned on!

>>527881378
Why worry about generic human male #40876. There's a million human models out there for free or paid. It's not like it's some unique main character nor does it need to be. Seems like you're just upset.

Btw remember when you challenged me to create oc and you were going to in return make a decent model and you reneged on it within like 30 minutes?

People don't forget.

I think there will be a popular resurgence of old school simpler style games with a high “production value” and quality soon. I don’t know if this would be a big hit if you released it today but I suspect by the time it’s finished it might be. I think people are starting to get fatigue with modern larger scale and more complex games. Expensive large scale games that you need to sink a huge amount of time into are a big investment in time and money, I think as that trend continues small scale cheap games you can hop into for a few hours of dumb fun will see a surge in popularity and the highest quality most well put together ones will see a lot of success

Slowly dawning on me that my game is itch.io free tier and not $0.99 Steam tier. Maybe next time...

they added a loli to donkey kong

>>527883365
So just old game that already exists but polished as heck? If so I agree with you

I've been noticing similar trends in the market recently. I plan to dedicate at least two more years to the game, likely three. If demand continues to favor simple, short, visually appealing games with strong identity and clean mechanics, there’s potential for meaningful profits. However, my passion for the craft is my true motivation, and any financial success would be a welcome bonus.

>>527884178
>This is Godot
My condolences

>>527884251
I feel the same way I just wanted to dispel the retards who were crabbing you for making a shmup

Just a thought, but it's interesting how super nintendo and sega genesis games still hold up today. They somehow feel solid in their design. Might be worth a study.

nubbydev mentioned that he was addicted to a roguelite shmup

>>527884378
How?

>>527884703
only shmup I like is tyrian

>>527884432
Thanks! They're correct that traditional arcade-style shmups aren't appealing to most players. I've designed one mode in the game to resemble Super Meat Boy or other precision platformers, featuring short challenges and a progression system. Generally, shmups are fun, but they're too demanding for the average player today.

Not a single publisher has reached out to me yet...

Not that I would accept, but still.

>>527884432

>Just a thought, but it's interesting how super nintendo and sega genesis games still hold up today. They somehow feel solid in their design. Might be worth a study.
tight design, the games don't offer as much to do as modern games, but the things they have are done really well.
As generations progressed, games were able to have more and more features. the problem is that game designers started to put less and less effort into each individual system/mechanic/game element.

it's like that saying "Jack of all trades, master of none. Often better than master of one"
And older game, in this context is the master of one.
The rare modern game that is seen as a timeless classic is that Jack of all trades.
All of the other games that are seen as bloated are attempting to be that "Jack of all trades" but they missed the point, and their implementation is half-baked.

>>527843656
Easy compared to physics programming. As long as you're not trying to do some low level

>>527885371
As much as he wants

I'll just call everyone who hates my game "filtered"

are game dev "studies" a thing? i.e. implement mechanics from a game in a little prototype just to understand more about how it all works

>>527885375
Trying to be a jack of all trades seems risky though, you could very easily screw it up. I feel like you have got it right, those old games were kinda simple but went all in on what little they had.

>>527885870
Just do EDx CS50 intro to gamedev free course

Great news!
My remote QA contract job has been extended till January next year! At least for 2025 I am safe to work from home, without worrying my time and energy for devving. I will definitely make it to the next demoday with this!

>>527885870
You could do one, but not in the same way as art studies. Games are meant to provide an experience, and if you have a good experience with a game, you might want to study what the game exactly did to make that experience happen. But how the game implements what it does doesn't matter at all.

Why shouldn't I have nudity and sexual imagery in my serious non-porn fantasy rpg? It's a very common feature in real mythology, in real life, and real creatures and beings have genitals, not smooth action figure crotches

Do what you want. No one's stopping you. I support whatever you choose to do

>>527886634
you'll get there m8! We will all get there

>>527886924

>>527887161
If the nudity feels non forced then it’s fine. Most american entertainment it feels forced. Even more in japanese stuff. Natural and elegant nudity is not usually seen overly sexual

>>527887161
If anything it'll probably give people a reason to talk about your game. Aside from the brutal difficulty, a big reason for Fungers popularity is that it depicts taboo subjects like nudity, rape, castration, etc.

I would, however, add a streamer mode to the game so that people can play it on twitch/youtube without being banned.

i like the textures in your game

>>527887809
The game was SHIT

Pulled some data from the first few days of a reddit ad I have running, seems to be performing decently but wish I was good at marketing and knew how to optimize stuff like this. I think the right person could 10x the number of clicks/wishlists

>>527887738
Can't run them on my dev machine with directional light with what is in the level at the moment without further optimizations, but lighting and shadows are enabled on my desktop computer.

>>527888120
i cant read any of this

I hope my game is only a mild success at first so I can continue retarddevving and not actually testing anything I put out because no one will play it anyways.

Release is in a few hours

I can't dev in this heat. It's impossible

I'm confused, are you self diagnosing? You've been screeching about the same dude for days now saying the same shit repeatedly like a broken record.

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.

Pixel art doesn't take more time than the art of the same amount of detail but in a higher resolution, unless you're doing manual dithering/anti-aliasing but almost no one does that.

I'm going to be very honest, I've have been testing the game with players and the results are too good. They like it too much. That means something is wrong; I have to change something...

>>527892584
Are they becoming satisfied? If they become satisfied immediately, then they will only watch the trailer and not buy.

If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it.
I don't want that, I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something

I'm gonna need to cook up some gameplay footage because I've got a feeling people don't necessarily get what the game is about, is webm related self explanatory, does it show properly what you, the player, ought to be doing in the game?

With sound and pixels:
https://files.catbox.moe/19kdtp.mp4

Things left for the current codebase mechanic:
>Results of background combat that is done off screen, this one is going to be a bitch and most of the remaining work for this.
>Adding more descriptive text and atmospheric sound effects when a certain variable is the same as the player's ID, since they need to 100% know what is going on when they happens
>Adding personality distinction in code
It's currently at 159 unique functions, probably going to take another 20 or so before it's done, and I might want to add onto it in some areas outside of what I deem as required.

I've got some nice grass going now. Looks nice imo.

>>527894059

I'm going to be honest and I say I don't like to pull out to see how much code I've made. I'm already past 1k functions overall, and there is still so much more than needs to be done.

>>527895383
Very nice. Good work.

What's the point of making a sequel that's exactly the same as the original?

Better than me only with respect to how much money they have. Looking at some of the trash others put out makes me proud that the stuff I made is far superior. I mean, pixel art and shit-tune music? Don't make me laugh.

>>527898798
Maybe you should just make a game

>>527897663
>massive marketing boost
>still flops

My game will be used exclusively using POSIX compliant tools.

>>527898798
SDL always. It's the one that everyone uses and most widely supported.

>>527898995
yep, valuable lesson in this

Pokemon.

The only major renders I'm missing from the dd are parts of this big boy. We will see if there's enough time to implement anything more than very basic animations.

>>527898995
he just needs one of the streamers he parodied to play it not happening

holy fuck this AI texture generator is horrible, im using pixelorama

>>527898223
Skrillex actually looks like this now

>>527899580
Thank god

Looks horrible

>>527898845
Here it is in video form, excuse the recording quality, had to keep it low res. https://files.catbox.moe/rhbmbz.mp4

lol

>>527899919
its a prototype

>>527899958
Interesting...
I wonder if there is a deadline on this.

>>527900074
it supposed to look good on first try

>>527900305
ngmi

>>527899958
ya allah
great opportunity
but that means i gotta dev quicker
be harder

>>527900065
nepotism doesn't exis-

>>527900480
lore?

>>527900480
Add more zoomer shit to your game, Nexpo loves that. Add like a backrooms reference or something, anything dude.

Feels like there will be too many submissions from the inner circle this DD

nortubel crossover with onirism

>>527900876
I'm not submitting though

>alcoholic father came back from work drunk again rambling and shouting while you try to dev

Realized I ended up spending a total of 2/3rd of what was supposed to be my game's budget on buying Ozempic, honestly don't think I have enough money left to pay someone for a soundtrack

>>527901117
move out

>>527901117
show game

>>527901238
the only logical thing to do, I can't believe I put up with this shit, normal person would have moved out long time ago. Just need some money from webdev tho and I'm gone

i'm an autistic freak with super niche special interests
when i see something new, i almost always ignore if it it doesn't specifically cater towards my specific interest/s at that given moment
this hurts my ability to promote my games, as i assume the average viewer will ignore my game the way i ignore everything i see
i don't think people do this
i think people are very receptive towards the things presented to them
they don't have much else on their minds
i need to learn that yes, promotion actually does work, assuming your game is good enough to appeal to the people it's promoted to
i struggle with this because i very rarely respond to anything, i struggle to understand what it's like to see an advertisement and feel the desire to consume that product presented to me
time to learn proper marketing

i have this royal character right, i wanted to find a jap name for her, royal="oshitsu no" so i said "ok, ritsu", i look up "oshitsu" on google and get a suggestion for "oshitsuke figure", look it up
what the fuck just happened lmao, i had never seen a figurine with a straight up creampie running down from its pussy wtf

>>527901937
japslop

>>527901937
>name
:|
>name japan
:O

>>527901937
Great, now I'm horny.

>>527901678
People will ignore your game, that's why it's beneficial to communicate your game in such a way that people who like those games can recognize it as a game they like. Totally new genres can potentially be dangerous because nobody will see it as something they understand and ignore it.

But ya, write a concise description about your game, really show what the game is in your marketing video. Learn from the experts, youtube has some good stuff.

>>527901117
skill issue

>>527902396
what would you do? I'm not going to work a slave job just to get away from alcoholic father and jump from one hole to another

>>527901937
>oshitsuke figure

It has shit in its name

If there was a real shadowy group of influencers pushing this thread I'd be part of it. Insane how much influence I have over all of you.

>>527902531
nta, I would for sure put up with the father and save money while you skill up.

>>527902593
Take your meds nikolav

>>527898845
Right, and you don't individually model and render each grass blade and, ultimately, waste five years just doing that. Makes you far superior to our current grass expert.

>>527895383
>new gauntlets for new armor set, still tweaking all armor meshes to blend better together. System is a leaderpose component comprised of different meshes, and all items of these components are tradable to other people in the game.

>next update: create item images for all new swords, delete all borrowed sword assets and images.

>>527902570
japs won't recognize it, they mostly think in terms of syllables and not individual phonemes because their language is just like that

Is godot good yet or should I stick to unity

>>527903416
It's fucking impossible to answer without knowing your skillset, knowledge about developing, your project, its scope, budget, team size and millions other things.

But because you asked, no it's not for you. Yes it's good if used properly.

>>527903416
Unity is cool

>>527902849
it's nice to see what AI generated 3D models look like in action

>>527903594
I can give you my name (Bradley) and height (186cm) if that helps

>>527903701
You like sucking cock?

I bet, so yes, unity is good for you

>>527901937
>i had never seen a figurine with a straight up creampie running down from its pussy wtf
Imagine when you find out about SoF

>>527902849
looks awesome

>>527899919
>>527900305
The large crack on the blocks are too distinct that it makes it obvious it has been copy pasted.
Try making them look more generic and then have the more extreme cracks be an occasional texture swap or a decal.

>>527904407
>Try making them look more generic
I tried but AI pixel art generator is too retarded for that, you type in single block texture and it spits out fucking brick wall

>>527903624
>GrassFag is projecting his own crimes again
This is actually super sad to see. At least he's making an original game, unlike you.

>>527903624
It is good, but you'll want to use ai image generator and use that as your reference than directly using something like meshy. AI modelers dont always get as specific as you need and still fuck shit up hard. I have to spend days in blender cleaning and even then im still learning.

how do I grow confidence to make my game

>>527905281
Gain skills. i.e. git gud

i don't know what the fuck to do

I'm learning so much from the projecting he's doing. So interesting to learn why is like that.

game

>>527905402
Make a list of shit you need to do.
If the items are too vague, break them down into smaller tasks.
Repeat until you have a list of shit you can do right now.

>>527905450
fuck off with your faggot drama. thank you.

>>527888304
Who the fuck are you whodev?

>>527902248
definitely. I spent roughly a year making small games to learn the process of making games, but they all flopped. Now i'm trying to learn how to design game narratives to be appealing to a target audience, and figure out how to expose this game to the most receptive demographics. It's much harder than it seems
i'm getting a basic grasp of how to present a narrative, so people understand what the game is about, but i'm struggling with reaching these people in an efficient manner
it's all good, i'll figure this out, step by step

carbon monoxide fucks up your vision and makes you walk weird now, your bird also gets sick ;(

>>527906016
I can't see shit NIGGA

>>527906016
oh yeah that's looking good

>>527906016
Good mechanic

>>527906115
better check for carbon monoxide

>>527906016

>>527906016
that's fucking cool.

>>527906016
OH YEAS, BABY

>>527906016
This gives me Penumbra vibes and im loving it.

There's no better feeling than someone thanking you for your game and most of you will never experience that
That's what makes me better than you

I think this is him.

>>527906884
you have competition

>>527906884
I enjoy people saying anything, good or bad it still matters to me. Maybe one day ill release but im having fun tooling around in unreal.

>>527906990
most likely will flop, but the developer still gives me gmi energy

>>527907079
I said "most". That means you're in the minority

i will stop thinking negatively about myself and my game

One of you guys should make a game where you play as a dragon and defend your dragon princess.

>>527907808
no, you do it

>>527906990
I would say at least he finished something but then I'm reminded that in the days where I just finished games /agdg/ was shitting on me, downplaying my efforts, and when they weren't they were ignoring me and treating me like shit so this counts for nothing. Do better next time, shitdev

>>527906884
pride is a sin, anon

>>527906016
looks great, babe
