Am I just stupid or are UE structs just weird? Is it normal to have to nest structs within structs within structs?
>>527995748It's not ready yet, thanks for your interest though.
I will post it when it's ready.
>>527995374Make the thread before they do
Just got done with today's devlog. I flushed it before I took a picture though, sorry.
>>527996176using blueprint struct is a recipe for disaster, refactoring it after using it for a time can cause the editor to be bricked (I learned the hard way)
if you are going to use struct, I recommend you use C++ for it
>>527996663really? Straight up brick it?
>>527996268Why apologize? That's a good practice. Once I forgot to flush my logs and I couldn't figure out why the debug output didn't match the expectations. Turns out it was because std::endl automatically flushes the stream and since I was printing without line breaks I had to do flush the debug log manually.
You will be able to read about more adventures like that once my devlog is ready.

I'm not sure about this project lads. It has easy to do art, it requires some programming... Idk
no fuck this shit i'm dropping this project
i can't justify wasting more time on this

it's been two fucking months of bashing my head against the wall

>>527999757The guys with access to google could also just copy-paste, you know. People will be able to tell you're copy-pasting either way.
To be more on-topic I think it's a great mindset to try and do everything yourself. Just about all of our yesdevs decided to try doing art themselves even if they hired an artist later. Quite often, they didn't even hire artists.

If there's one thing I learned making games, asset packs and even doing freelance work is that there's no such thing as easy money on demand.
Sure you can win the lottery but that's not something you can plan for, you don't say "I need to win the lottery next month so I can pay rent", you just buy a ticket in addition to the normal stuff you do.
If you want something done tomorrow (release a game, escape NEET life, whatever) you need to start 6 months ago.
I'm making friendslop in Unity. I have a basic game built, a custom character controller, attacks, enemies, objectives, time limits, etc. I just need to be able to add other players to the game. How can I do this? I effectively already have the singleplayer portion complete, I just need to make this multiplayer. I was thinking of using the Among Us style lobby creation, where somebody creates a lobby, it generates a unique code, and people insert that code to join. I just need to figure out how to make it multiplayer now. I'm not doing public lobbies - I'm too lazy. Code-invite lobbies only.
>>528000916learn how to do a flood fill, a breadth first search and a dijkstra's algorithm on the grid and you can do a lot with it!
I dropped my friendslop project in 2016. even if it came out it would have been too ahead of its time...
>>528001984I made mine multiplayer first. making it single player and then multiplayer is not good. I just let players set a password.
if I have a fully turn based game, is making it multiplayer actually pretty easy? all the logic will be on the server

>>528002645Multiplayer is extremely easy in godot.
>>528002894Rendering is fun tho

>>528004179What makes it easier compared to unity or enginedevving?
>>527997667i forgor. are you using raylib?
>>527997667I got it to work!
>>528004292Yea raylib and C
>>528004213I haven't messed with Unity in like 5+ years so I don't know anything about it currently. As far as your own engine vs godot the framework for everything already exists and works fantastically vs building from the ground up. You can literally create a multiplayer instance in less than an hour.
Also, I'm not fucking google, just look it up yourself holy...
>>528004556>I'm not fucking googleI know that because google can be useful from time to time
>>528004662It can be, just not for people like you.

I have a question, because you guys seem smart.
Recently a game called Broken Arrow has been released and to everyone's surprise, it doesn't have a save option. There are over 1-hour long missions and you can't save during those missions. And the game is not in early access.
How can that even happen? I just struggle to understand the logic behind this situation.
>>528005392Game works without saving so it's not a priority.
>>528005392>you guys seem smart
>>528005493>not a priorityBut it's a basic thing, it's expected in the vast majority of games, especially in strategy games.
>>528005392Computers can hibernate therefore saving games is still possible.
Therefore players will keep the game open at all times, and this increases engagement.
>>528005392You don't need a save.
>>528005573Ye but it's not the only basic thing it's a basic thing among other basic things and the dev chose to prioritize the other basic things.
>>528000916Havent you posted this same screenshot the past day?
>>528005392>How can that even happen?see the exhibits
>>528005493,
>>528005587,
>>528005749developers do not have to do anything because modern gamers are completely retarded and will excuse anything
>>528005392>and to everyone's surprise, it doesn't have a save optionThis is no surprise at all. Anyone who played the playtests knows that they never had and were never intending on implementing a save system. If you can't spend an hour to play the game, you probably shouldn't be playing Broken Arrow.
>>528005876Saving the state of a program should be something that is done at operational system level.
It's dumb for every single problem to have to reimplement something that is useful for all and every single one of them.
If you want to complain about not being able to save my game, complain not to me but to Microsoft.
>>528005392normally psued devs that think theyre game is above "easy mode" shit like saving the game
>>528005834You can share in more than one thread. Most people don't look at older posts so it's not a bad idea to share progress a few times before moving on.
>>528005876It's EA anon, it's not an excuse. It literally isn't a priority.
devs just release shit unfinished nowadays because early access is gimped
>>528005392A much simpler game, Balatro, has some exploits you can use by saving and reloading, despite the game being built to not let you cheese shit by savescumming.
That's a game with very binary and finite states, rather than many floating objects.
I don't know much about the game specifically or what it was built with but ... Unless you want to save all of RAM to memory, it could be a bit of an ordeal to make a save system. It's fine if you keep a save system in mind from the start but it's not free to make either.
If a modern dev doesn't have saves, it's generally a conscious decision.
If devs in the past didn't have saves then it was likely just because saves were a very optional feature.
That's all I can realy say.
Painfully cold take:
The programming aspect of making a game is actually quite easy as long as you are good at pirating courses and resources.
Hardest parts of making a game are the artistic aspects of it, like the story, art, music, which are what makes or breaks a game.
>>528006338What are the balatro exploits?
>>528006349>cold takeit's not cold it's just literally the truth
anyone disagreeing is completely retarded or an absolute brainlet programming is piss easy
If you don't have extrinsic motivation in life, you're better off working.
Anyway, i'm 30, live off 30K a year, will reach FIRE in 7-8 years assuming historic averages. I do gamedev on the side and finally releasing games, if one of them manages to become a hit i'm making the jump. Otherwise i have a cushy WFH IT job that i'm content with at the moment. Maybe i'll go part time if I lose my WFH job.
>>528006476Art is also easy tho
>>528005392Saving is a privilege, not a right.
>/qa/ reject poster is here
>thread went to shit 20min ago
that explains it
all right time to dev! time to make all my dreams come to life! just need to launch this code editor... AH FUCK! i accidentally opened team fortress 2! oh no!
I think I would need a SHIT LOT more practice to have better anims, like the weight of the hand, the way it rotates, etc.. I gave up for now and will go with this iteration and accept the janks as feature hahaha, as my skill improve I will revisit it, I want to move forward!
my animations look bad but in this case it probably works
>>528006349True. Video game programming is literally "make thing move if condition is met". It's extremely simple, and doesn't even need to be foolproof, no one is going to die if there are some bugs.
>>528007056lookin good anon.
Im looking forward to my gallerians clone iso 3D too.
>>528007056you are the only one thats gmi
>>528007139>Devs make fun of programmers who use massive trees of if elif statements.>Literally every game they make is just if elif with some organization thrown on top.
making art, music, video games is fun as heck
but it doesn't pay the bills unless you're really good
thanks for nothing, society
>>528006349Nothing that is time consuming is easy. Just because you figured out that it's possible, that does not make it easy. It's like saying you can just buy music so music is easy.
>>528007056I honestly have no idea what your boss even looks like body wise. He's a black shape.
>>528007186nah, there are a quite a bit of gmi in here, but thanks anon :D:D
>>528007310I haven't textured the boss yet haha, will do after I finish the combat, will fix the lighting too, should be able to see the boss more then
friendslop is so fucking easy to make wtf lmao
>>528006349In terms of what makes a good game
Gameplay (programming) > music > art > story
Shrimple as that
>>528007705Not even close
>>528007608what is friend slop. Why are young people so fucking gay. What happened to making awesome video games?
>>528007293or....just make porn
>>528007705nah, art is everything
games are visual things, you can program the simplest shit and if it looks good then its good
>>528007803casual games designed for multiplayer social interactions
they're effectively slightly more complex than mobile games, and focus on providing a social experience rather than a deep narrative experience or mechanical mastery
very very very easy to make
>>528007795It's very close. Although he's mixing game design with programming, which only kinda makes sense. But yes, programming comes first.
>>528007091>Die Aufnahme wurde begonnen.Looks good. Weitermachen.
>>528006338why should they care if people savescum in singleplayer?
>>528007897It is actually something I think about. Making a mini game like Among Us. If I ever think of a really good hook I'll do it.
>>528005392I was thinking to not have a save option. Just makes my life easier as a dev. It makes the day seem a bit more meaningful. I got the idea from Stardew Valley and I like it. An hour is excessive though. At least with stardew you can just go to sleep at any point.
>>527998348Someone at my job un-ironically brought up cognitive debt. "We need to avoid thinking about to much, especially when we can avoid it." Then he goes on to over complicate every fucking little thing. Reddit has been a disaster for mankind.
>>528007813Does making porn games really pay? I'm tempted to do it
>>528008846it costs you your soul
>>528005241>>528007091is this the canary game?
>>528006407If the crimson heart? vessel? disables the turtle bean joker and you quit and then load back in, it permanently increases your hand size
>>528008158it can make the experience less enjoyable.
Giving the player the option to cheat all the way to the end of a game hurts the experience for most players because having that option makes the win feel less 'earned' since other people could've just skipped, plus some players would be tempted to do it when they get frustrated.

*psshhhtt* It's over, over.
you ARE accounting for the new laws in the EU regarding accessibility arent you?
>>528008846It can pay, but you'll naturally have more limited visibility. It has both upsides and downsides.
>>528009583All games must now have a dildo somewhere because otherwise gay men might not be able to get off, and that's not accessible.
>>528009583they introduced new laws recently for games that "target EU customers" (something as simple as making games available for purchase in Euros counts as targeting). Bunch of accessibility laws like no flashing lights that can cause seizures, can't have voice chat without also having text chat and other such accessibility red tapes. If you don't meet them, your game cant be sold to EU customers.
>>528008982Soul is a meme
pixel art 3d crazy taxi, that would be a hit game
>>528009301Thank you for funding research
>>528008846a lot of artists start off on porn and move to the projects they want to do. Or they create appeals to porn-addicted folks for a financial base like in Undertale or Atlyss
>>528009583GPSR is product safety legislation, meaning games cannot be unsafe. Most notably, this would likely cover photosensitive epilepsy seizures induced by effects in games.
If you are developing any game at all, you must be aware of and compliant with GPSR.
GPSR means itโs now illegal to target any game at the European market unless thereโs an assigned safety rep with a Europe address (with contact details communicated to both players and the authorities), and the game has had a safety risk assessment which is documented in the gameโs T&Cs.
Itโs illegal for a game to be unsafe in any way, which means any risk to health and safety, including mental health (specifically cites as an example mental health risk for kids of online-connected products). Compliance with existing standards โ like the standard on seizure risk reduction โ means youโre presumed to be compliant with GPSR.
EAA means itโs illegal to provide any communication or e-commerce service (defined as buying over websites & mobile apps) to people in the EU without it being accessible. Accessible communication means offering alternate channels (e.g. if you have voice, also offer text). Accessible e-commerce means ensuring accessibility of specifics like ID, security and payment services. Additionally, websites & mobile apps delivering comms or commerce need to meet stringent accessibility standards, and there are some process & documentation rules too.
>>528009583It means that if your game has white people in a European setting you might be investigated for hate crimes. France, especially, must be 100% African, of you'll be put in prison for being anti Semitic.
>>528010297See:
>>528009991You'll also need to pay someone to act as your "safety rep" or whatever.
>>528010218Do you often construct completely imaginary self-martyrizing narratives in your head?
>check out a few let's play from the last game
>the games very clearly shows where it wants you to go
>very obvious light spots
>very obvious directions
>streamers still fucking miss half the spots or explanations
And people complain about games that hold your hand too much? Modern players are dumb as hell and have no fucking attention span whatsoever.
>>528010372>>528009991God why is the world so gay and retarded
>>528010523Please pay your safety consultant before responding to me. Don't be an anti Semite.
>>528009991Oh, so it's absolutely nothing
>>528010546Ya man, the average person is retarded. That's the big misunderstanding of our age. Thinking people are smart. I've sat there and explained to programmers that not everyone can be a programmer. And they refused to accept it. "you just gotta like, work hard, and anyone can!" NO. FALSE.
>>528010752>have to pay some fag in europe anytime you want to release a game>nothing
>>528010752>GPSR means itโs now illegal to target any game at the European market unless thereโs an assigned safety rep with a Europe address (with contact details communicated to both players and the authorities),
>>528010862Learn to read retard
>>528009991I swear EU has been speedrunning making retarded laws for the past 8 years.
>>528011314strongarming apple into complying with usb chargers was based though
>>528011367Ya that's true. Fuck Apple and their dumbass greedy little scams.
Is this the right game dev loop?
>Get idea for game

solo polymath chads > programmers, artists, musicans, writers, designers etc
>>527994532>>527994723I've made the game first person and hid the character, can't figure out how to get the guy to rotate with the camera in first person like it did in third.
>>528012612bocchifag is right for once
I am a programmer first and foremost. I am also an artist (not by creation, but by soul). I am also a musician (not by creation, but by consumption).
>>528009553Yes, accessibility is one of the top priorities in the development of my game, as most of my playerbase is retarded.

How do I stop this, I don't want to be like this anymore.
>>528013423I would like to like furshit but practically, I'm only interested in my specific desires. I've been to a furcon. It's 50% women. Too many!
>>527992015>My game features this catbot, isnโt she the cutest bean evur? The lack of color is also totally thought out and is not at all a cost saving measure.Your game would bore them to death long before they complain about the porn part. Iโll take another Nighteign article over this.
>>528013117im getting reminded of future fragments again. Hopefully you are not dragging it.
who the fuck needs Q/A shit on porn games? Look at madodev. He doesnt even do thes cringe meetings. Just making game
>>528013937This exact pain used to distract me.

>>528014892Not everything he does applies to other people who are not 1ma and aren't making roguelikes with shallow worlds.
>PaperKlay turned down offers from over 25 publishers and investors, including a few of the "big 5", only to make $50k
why? why not just take your 200k and be happy?
>>528015363Proof he would be happy?
>>528015363Publisher horror stories
>>528015091can you name 5 works that failed to be sincere because it subverted tropes
>>528015091Agreed. I've noticed for years that millennials have this obsession with categorizing things that don't need it. And then once something is categorized, they be default assume the category is bad. Like, the strong prince saves the princess. This is a trope, because it's a trope it's defined, and by being defined it's bad and must be flipped. There's no reason to flip it, it's just obvious to the millennial. So we get games like Diablo 4 "Did you know it's GOOD to be evil? MUAHAHAHAHAHA" And it's like, what the actual fuck is going on here. Why is this such shit?
Instead of just not telling the prince story, and telling a different story, the prince must now be a rapist or something bizarre. Like they could just tell a story of a strong mother instead, like people have always done. Or a love triangle, where they choose between what their family wants, and what they want. But hey that's a trope and it's bad, so let's make your dad a rapist and your savior is a random drug dealer.
>>528014919Having everyone namedrop you and not Earthbound is in fact erasing Earthbound from peopleโs memory, why do you ask?

>>528016030Can you show me 15 examples of tropes being subverted and it turning out well? Fucking faggot
>>528016196kek, i knew it
>>528016249There's probably been 5 flops as a result of flipped tropes in the Star Wars universe alone in just the last run of films and their spin offs.
>>528015826>>528015091You do not need to be like le heckin quirky whole some 100 game like Undertale and subvert tropes of the genre, you literally could just take EarthBound, improve it in every aspect, and drop it and people might like it the same as UT. I think that's what anon meant by "destroy your genre"

>>528016187I didn't say it had to be true.
tactics game, square vs hexagon grids?
Even if I made it it wouldn't even be fucking fun
>>528016397>you literally could just take EarthBound, improve it in every aspectbut that's what he did?
>>528016442This is why you need people to spoon feed you. You're retarded. It's always the case that people yelling "Source! Source!" are stupid. You always reject the source and then wallow in your own shit. Fuck off. And yes, Star Wars subverted tropes, massively under performed and caused massive damage to the franchise, and they did it repeatedly across spin offs. You can't just say "lolololol" as a response to that.
we hate sources here, anecdotes only
>>528016736All these words could have been a simple list of recently released works, but you chose to have a meltie instead.
Methinks the hole you're digging will make future archeologists very curious.
>>528016678Undertale barely resembles earthbound outside the art though? Its standout feature was subverting RPG tropes.
>>528016678Can you invest money to buy a house in Undertale? That's my favorite part of EarthBound.

See this? That's rogue, isn't it beautiful? The tropes of this genre were subverted and what's why all the current rogue-likes failed.
>>528016397Modern gamers would spit out a modern Earthbound and demand that you put in a SPARE button. That you put in something else aside from the old ticking health system.
The Kalemonvo train of thought leads to nowhere.
>>528018151Leads to a released game
>>528018151Yes, if by "gamers" you mean "normies"
I think you can add more stuff, that improves the overall experience, and it doesn't have to be a gimmick like the SPARE button. The ticking health system of EB wasn't a gimmick in my opinion, but something that geniunely changed the gameplay style.
And this is what I was saying, EB isn't a perfect game, so it could use alot of improvements (when I played it the most piece of shit thing was the inventory), without any gimmicks or trope subversions.
I think gamers demanding something new is fully understandable, but yeah it doesn't have to be gimmicky.
>just commission some 3D models bro
>>528018879>3 month to make one modelhuh
>>528017834You either take all of the source material's ideas and chuck them in the trash or you get this. Anons call you a clone and the polite people say the game "doesnโt try to revolutionize the genre."
>>528018971Who the fucks only makes 1 model
>>528018151"The Kalemonvo train of thought leads to nowhere."
False. The game released, sold, which is better than 99% of you. It also left the Dev with marketable skills and proof of knowledge. Meaning if he ever needs to, he could likely fall back into being an employed Dev. Again, putting him above most. It was pretty beautiful game with some advanced features. Very commendable.
The problem with actually making a new game is that 90% of steam's audience only plays games to drown out intrusive thoughts so anything that requires thinking and learning is venom to them.
>>528018995>You either take all of the source material's ideas and chuck them in the trash or you get this.So what you're saying is...don't copy/clone an existing game? Why didn't you say that then?
>>528019489I admit it is asking someone like me a lot to have to learn some non intuitive control scheme and a bunch of logic just to play a game these days. Tried playing Heart of Iron IV and just couldnโt.
I did play a lot of Helldivers and Stardew though. Still love a great game. But itโs hard to dedicate time to something youโre not sure will pay off.
I added double Uzi to the game, some weapons I have in the to do list are the rocket launcher, flamethrower and gatling gun.
>>527998348Was this research made for people who can only every think about something if a research was made? "People who are given tools to do things with less thinking, think less" is something anyone could have told you.
Also, forced essay writing is probably the most boring academical task one could be given. No wonder that by the end of it they've learned to bypass it.
>>528009553>>528009991that's steam's problem, not mine
>>528018879either esl or underage
>>528020267Right. It's just propaganda. If Chat has done anything it's exposed how 95% of people are npcs who don't value learning or knowing anything about the world. They like money, that's it. That's all they care about. Money. Complete animals.
>>528020234>It's fun because you uh, shoot the same guy and there are no unique arrangements of multiple enemiesPut on the YouTuber's shoes and you'll understand everything about your game
>>528018879That person is obviously retarded but
>full commercial rightsThis one is common, all artists do that. And this is exactly why I'll never commission an artist.
Good Morning /agdg/
Glad to be here. I love you all and this place.
>>528020978ใใฏใใใใใใพใใ
>>528020819I already know that, but this game have only like one month in development and I only made one enemy to make sure that everything is working fine. When I finish making weapons I will start making maps and enemies.
>>528020862It's why I like Fiverr. Yeah it is 5% more expensive (for me, it's 20% for artists) but I have all rights, and I've got their ToS to fall back on.
>>528020862>>528021491"Full commercial rights" obviously applies to you the commissioner, are you guys dumb?
Chocolate represents that which is delightful. The haunted castle represents the allure of the unknown. The ghosts represent the imprint of the past. All of these things are important. However, donโt think for a moment that, because this game features ghosts in a haunted castle, it is an evil or negative game. On the contrary, I intend for this game to be positive, uplifting and life-affirming. However, if Stardew Valley mostly channeled the energy of the sun, Haunted Chocolatier channels the energy of the moon. Both are vital.

>>528022880NTA, Re-selling an asset is not one of the most important parts. But I wouldn't hire them based on principals of ownership.
should be able to commission fiverr models and then re-sell them on unity asset store for profit by way of units sold. Right?
>>528022880>except* one of the most important part>He comissioned the artist just to start re-selling the comissioned workare you retarded

I am starting to think it's better to delusionally run after your goal, thinking you're going to be rich and successful, and just deal with the fallout if you crash into reality on the way there, than losing momentum by thinking "well it might not do great, best not to get my hopes up, I'm just getting experience is all" and just slowly walking to the finish line.

>>528023771Better than the cope I created, which is that I am destined to create my game, and thus I am in no rush, because if by chance I die early, I will simply finish my game in the afterlife.
OKAY...I need help.
I want subtitles to display alongside audio at the same speed and timing that the words are being said.
My thought so far is to tokenize each word and have them added to a label alongside the length of the audio itself, but that hasn't been quite right. What would you all recommend? I was debating doing it based on when the audio picks up, like a minimum decible level or something.
This is in Godot btw.
>>528024505>I-if it looks good to me then it works!!>Hmm after working on my game for 2 years it ended up nothing like what I expected it to b-b-but whatever just publish!!Ok retard keep on dreaming.
>>528023771Ya, finishing something is useful and the universe rewards bravery. Metaphysics.
>>528024810Just git gud, it's that easy.
>>528024652>My thought so far is to tokenize each wordHave you tried this? Did it also give you timestamps? It seems like a good idea.

>>528025540uhhh, im not sure. I've used whisper before for another project and it was a local model then.
>>528025045That doesn't make it easy. All I'm saying is it's much harder than simple game logic even if your game is a massive multiplayer AAA it's still easier to code than design an art for it, because the former is a priori, the latter is a posteriori.
>>528020234>here's the girl's face in the ui!>remember?? She's the character!>I need to make sure you never forget the "appeal"So tired of games doing this. And ironically I did it in a previous game.

>>528025884 is right, you know
You need the next stage of appeal
>>528025883It does. Art is easy when you don't have a skill issue.
Your game should require the player to make hard ethical or moral choices.

how many games has this bitch made? why should i listen to what she has to say?
>>528025883Why are you stupid bro. What point are you trying to fucking make here. Fucking waste of time. Like you're not smart enough to make a massive multiplayer game so what are you even talking about? Do you even know what you don't know?
>>528026460hahaha the joke is that penis goes in the vagina
>>528026460None, but she has some good takes. Like her video on co-op games being a goldmine.
>>528026640An alternate experience I actually had: I tried taking this advice, spent around a year working on 2 small projects I wasn't particularily inspired by, gave up from lack of motivation. Then returned to my 'dream game' concept I thought was too much, and it's the most fun and inspired ive ever been making games. Sometimes you just gotta follow your dream despite it being the bad advice. I now have a little prototype im excited about and cant wait to flesh out.
Took a bunch of time off devving, but I'm slowly getting back into it. Currently working on an enemy that splits up into a bunch of smaller enemies.
>>528018879>full commercial rightsdoes this mean the artist isn't allowed to sell the asset in a cheap unity asset pack?
Because that's what I want. Is that greedy?
>>528025729I'm bookmarking this for now, currently working on a demo for a kickstarter so I'll be doing a lighter implementation, but if things turn well I will be using this. I really appreciate it anon
>>528025891does this actually happen
>>528026887It's not greedy no, but you'd need to find a different artist. You should probably go to a 3rd world country and find an artist who isn't smart and have him make shit for you. Not some uppity established artist who has demands and shit.
Buuull fucking shit. I started with my dream game. I failed. I learned a fuckton more and way faster than if i started with fucking snake or asteroids. Now I am a kickass dev who can do whatever the fuck I put my mind to.
>>528026638konichiwa dude
>>528026638Literally be devving while wearing heavy bayerdynamics
>>528026762You would have likely gotten a lot of finishing one of the small games. But at this point just cut losses and make your dream game.
I was on the side of just make your dream game, but given that you need to market and make a steam page, and that has it's own meta to learn, it might not hurt to make a small game. And that's the path I chose. But if you already went that route and didn't like it, then ya, just make your game.
>>528018879i would do all of that for FREE i just want recognition...
>>528020234cosmic-call likes..
>>528026381Being able to do it doesn't make it easy.
>>528026472Why are you sperging out at me? You sound like a triggered retard.
>What point are you trying to fucking make hereThe nature of coding is akin to a puzzle essentially, you simply need to fill in the gaps until the system works. Whereas with art and creativity there's no "destination" for a lack of a better word and any principles you can follow can only be obtained by first-hand experience and knowledge of the medium (e.g exit button should always be at the bottom for example, shake effects for collisions/impacts, menu design, game design, game art, game music etc)
>>528026887Retards cannot see past their own butthole. That's why they screech their narrative about muh pajeet who wants to resell the art for free.
A literal common situation is a company making a full product with said art, find a client interested in it, and the art just being included in the package. It's not about selling the art by itself, it's about being barred from selling your final product and losing a client because you made the mistake of commission something from an artist with an inflated ego.
>>528027492"Why are you sperging out at me? You sound like a triggered retard."
Because you keep babbling about programming being easier than something else. And it's fucking STUPID. And not only is it STUPID, it adds nothing. Like ok bro, making mmo's is an easy task, that's nice. Show your fucking game then.
>>528027872this is for 3 animated 8x8 sprites btw
>>528027872Wait, you can raise money on itch.io?
Maybe I can finally make a game
i know what to code but i dont want to code or do anything, not even fun stuff like visual stuff (ADHD and depression)
>>528027786Are you genuinely arguing coding is harder than game design?
>making mmo's is an easy taskI didn't say it's easy, I said it's easier than designing music and art for it.
>>528028131then find what interests you and try to make that instead dork, go the other way.
>>528028148I'm genuinely saying you're retarded and will never make anything of note because you're stupid. If you'd like to prove me wrong, show me your precious fucking game designs.

>>528029539It's still ridiculously dark. I didn't even realise that white thing was giving off light at first. At least, I think it is.
>>527998348I'm not sure if 54 people, 18 per section, split across a 20-year gap, in a specific geological area can be taken as a solid sample size and it also wouldn't surprise me if people started to just copy-paste if you're writing a SAT essay every month and you can just delegate it to the AI, although it seems like they had to perform other tasks as well outside the essay writing?
Whatever the case, many are mentioning how there's a 'right' way to use AI, for research and consulting, which I agree with, but even seasoned Developers at large companies have expressed that they've felt a neurological-like fatigue from using AI tools. So it's worth taking this as a warning that you should take a break from prompting at least twice a week.
What's really concerning is that they only tested adults, but every kid growing up now has a phone with some kind of LLM. Makes me think everyone is betting on the AI takeover because AI-induced cognitive decline will necessitate it.
>>528008504>Someone at my job un-ironically brought up cognitive debt.>Then he goes on to over complicate every fucking little thing. My favorite thing about modern development is that React/Typescript developers continue to beat this drum despite being one of the largest sources of complication in a code base, management keeps trying to introduce 'agile' with the most complex Kanban boards possible, and NOBODY thinks about how the business actually makes money and tries to focus on that.

The AI can now do battles off screen, win/lose them, and can get injured. That was one of the last major hurdles with the AI, so that's fun.
>>528027872What's the point of having a sales goal bundle vs just having a normal bundle? Does it expire after some time? Does the artist promise something else in addition to the assets?
>>528030001I am trying really hard to balance that, because I want the dark areas to feel scary, and the fully lit up areas to still feel a little dreary.
>>528030072Yeah I haven't added that one yet but it definitely needs to be done.

I do want him to be able to get some upgrades (double jump, wall jump, some items you can use and both throw as weapons e.g. the shotgun can only be shot twice, but then you can throw it as a weapon as well) so maybe I can make him get ripped as an upgrade and make him punch way harder haha - I can't lie he does look cooler like that lol.

>>528030002I'm not totally anti agile, although it is a problem when EVERYTHING is agile. If you're making a big new critical system and you don't know what you don't know, it's dumb to try and put that in a box, estimate it, and rush it out. It's better to just let a senior dev spend a month on it, not force any arbitrary check ins, and get the fucking thing working as it should. However, on the flip side, some devs are pieces of garbage and need to held accountable. I overall enjoy agile. But like I said, have seen instances where it fucks shit up.
>>528035683Seeing how you react to others getting fanart, I'm starting to think you never deserved any. And I'm glad you haven't gotten any fanart, because you really don't deserve it. You should develop yourself before developing any games.

>>528036060I'm a better human than you are, and in the long run I will get more fanart than 99% of devs here. The general trend I'm observing is that I'm only being treated like shit here, while people outside are much more generous and amicable towards me. This place is a cesspit that rewards feminine clownish behaviour. There is no global ladder of game quality. Every single dev who falls for the social hivemind pays for it in some way. Here's a word of advice: both in business and in art it's detrimental to your well-being to be aggreeable, and too many of you are aggreeable. You're like skittish women, huddling to the herd at the first sight of danger. You're afraid of going against the grain. You're afraid of being ostracized or disliked or excommunicated. This makes you closer to women than men. And in case you never knew this, women suck at building lasting and successful things. The fear of social rejection always ruins you in the end.

I think my destiny is not to make games but to make toys! Maybe I could have a little business on Etsy or something selling little playable dioramas with a mix of clay sculpting and 3 printing.

Ok, bros
I am ready to start my game dev Journey
In order to make money, ofc
What s the most sought after indie genre that hasn t been doberman to death and back??
would a Dungeon Keeper-like work in today day and age ?
I'm making a Dungeon Keeper -like.
>>528038457>In order to make money, ofchobby
>>528038548Any idea for the direction I should take?
>>528038457space station 13 clone
yandere simulator clone
>>528038692genuinely no
you'll only make money if you're patient in this industry
there is no fast money in game development
but if you're willing to invest years of effort into making a good game, then any genre is viable
>>528038692Start with Pong.
>>528035950>It's better to just let a senior dev spend a month on it, not force any arbitrary check ins, and get the fucking thing working as it should.Yeah skunkworks shouldn't be subject to fictitious accounting, misses the whole point.
>However, on the flip side, some devs are pieces of garbage and need to held accountable.Remote work and AI has made this problem so much worse. People are either working multiple jobs on the low or are getting past weak interview processes with AI and then totally failing to do any actual work.
The easiest way to one-up the job market right now is to actually learn the programming language you're using and creating small side-projects.
>>528038814Schedule 1 looks like a joke of a world injected with a set of 3 well tought sistems. It doesn t look that hard
>>528038457Pong contest with visual novel and rogue like aspects.
plot twist: your enemy is... you...
>>528038814>any genre is viableThat's actually not true. Genre is the number one most important choice if you're looking to make a commercially viable product, as foretold by our lord and savior.
>>528038861As a matter of fact I will do
>>528038341hahahahahaha
>>528036587based
>>528037517based
>>528037521ty
thanks for the pointers fellas.
So what exactly is stopping me from completely vibecoding my entire game?
>>528039096Kind of wild that the best genres to pick are some of the easiest to make. Sim games are the #1 best selling games for Indies. That's a dream.
>>528039804scalability, but just vibe code it with that in mind and you'll be right mate
>>528039804Nothing. You solve problems. If the problem is solved, it's fine. People are slowly learning that not all code must be Silicon Valley level genius shit. You can write easy to understand simple code. It's ok.
>Make small solodev games quickly, test them out with Steam demos and pick the viral one
>Actually spend years and hundreds of thousands on masterpieces. That's the only way now
>Actually just do small things that make OK money and you might be able to stack up enough non-hits to keep going
>>528039542i fucking love such games where you can destroy walls. Like in Noita
please work on this game and finish it and release it.
just keep the character. i wont play as any other boring character like knight or anime girl.
>>528040150I could easily see Thomas getting his cheeks busted in prison. Dude humiliates himself for no reason.
>>528040150t. retard here I meant to use this pic
>>528039096That's not quite what Mr. Z says. Certain genres have a greater probability of success but almost every genre does have a viable game or two in it. There is just a higher chance that a mid survival craft sim job horror game will make money than a mid puzzle game. But excellent puzzle games, excellent metroidvanias, etc. still can make it. It's just hard mode
>>528040380Spiderweb software is not something to look up to.
>>528040624I'd argue he's the highest quality standard most of us could live up to.
i'm making a visual novel
without the images
>>528041042Look guys we got a real Tolstoy over here..
>>528041042that's called a novel i think
>>528041042Same, but I am also dropping the novel part
>>528040590No, that is exactly what he's said many times in many different interviews. Genre is the number one most important thing to think about. You shouldn't try to play on ultra-hard mode as a beginner trying to ship your first commercial game. Get your head out of your ass.
OKAY SO I want to display a line of code part by part alongside audio. One anonw as gracious to give me an audio ai analyzer but that's a bit too heavy duty for what I'm doing
Right now, I have a AUDIO SPECTRUM ANALYZER appending the next word for the RichTextLabel text dependent on magnitude. My issue now is that I want to add in BBCode to the text as well.
Currently, my idea is to create an array of labels added at a specific word indice when the word would be displayed. So it would be stripping the original phrase using RegEx, splitting it into an array, finding the instances where BBCode exists, adding those to a matched word from the split array, and finally adding it back to the text that is supposed to be displayed.
>>528040150I wonder if he'd pay me to fix his shaders + rendering?
>>528041196Genre is the most important choice but I was correcting your assertion that not every genre is viable, in the strict sense of the word. I have met Z in person and done his masterclass, I know exactly what he thinks about this.
>>528041302What the fuck is BBC ode? Fucking cucks and their fetishes
>>528041426>I have met Z in person and done his masterclass
>>528041426is Z in the room with us now?
>>528041426Practically speaking, it's not viable. e.g. You will never make a successful PvP hero shooter as a solo indie dev. That's just retarded. Instead, if you really want to make a shooter, make some friendslop PvE-coop shooter or a narrative-driven shooter.

>>528042016Dude just draw.
it's literally all you have to do. Also just draw pixel art. do what you need.
step by step
How difficult should I make the puzzles in my game?
It's not a puzzle game, but there are some puzzles in the area.
Right now, the only puzzle in the game is in the library. You need to put the books in the right spot of the book case, but it's pretty easy.
I don't want that to be the only puzzle in the game, but at the same time I don't want the additional puzzles to be as easy as that one.
Tell me what you bros think, currently trying to get the walking sounds back because now they just play for longer than I walk. https://gofile.io/d/z37h5Q

you don't have a tabled?
Obviously get one. It should be N1 step. Lol...
im using
also don't get memed into buying an expensive screen-tablet.
Im just using XP-pen. i can buy Wacoom or screen-tablet but i just dont want
(also prepare your butt - it will be burning because first week trying to understand how to draw with your hand while looking at screen will be awful...but then you will quickly adapt)
>>528042750If there are puzzles in a non-puzzle game I'd say they should be pretty easy. You can only get away with difficult puzzles if the game is clearly advertised as being about that, otherwise players are just going to get mad. Think about the level of stuff in Hogwarts or God of War. Or kek even Bioshock Infinite like
>>528043004
>>528042990would it be worth a playthrough just to see how the puzzles in that game are handled?
And are they different from the ps1 version? That's the only version I've played
>>528043004So I should just solve the puzzle for the player? lol :(
>>528043049not him, but they're a good investment even if you aren't an artfag, especially if you buy a used one made by Huion or XP Pen.
Decent as a second monitor and you can program the hot keys. I use mine for level design in Unity and the hot keys are assigned to commands on "Prefab World Builder" (its an editor asset for placing objects)
>>528043707addendum: if the puzzle is part of a "secret" or some easter egg challenge it's ok to be hard out of the blue. What I originally said is moreso if that puzzle is apart of the main game path and a player is forced to get through it.
>>528043049>>528043487Even if you're a total poorfag, you should get a screen tablet. They're as cheap as $150-200 nowadays. The time you'll save is well worth it.
>>528043487>>528043915Thanks for the suggestions, I hope I will get to it eventually :)

>>528043949>>528043707That makes sense, thanks. I do have the hogwarts game on steam, so I'll give that a try to see how they do the puzzles.
I do have 3 secret areas in the game so far, so maybe I'll try making a difficult puzzle for one of those.
But I don't want to just add them for the sake of adding them, the one in the library section, while easy, makes sense as to why it exists in the game.
I guess I'm gonna have to give this a bit more thought. Thanks guys.

>>528045232What is your Game?
>>528044523Don't draw with your wrist. Use your bigger muscles. It's a retarded waste of time and energy to use shitty hardware when there's better hardware available nowadays. I started on a Wacom One, which was tiny and forced me to draw with my wrist. Then, I got some cheap Chinese non-screen tablet. It was mostly alright, but on one out of every 50 or so strokes, it would freak out, jump slightly, and force me to ctrl-Z which got real tiresome real quick. Then I got the $200 XPPEN 13.3, and instantly I could just always render whatever stroke I intended. Maybe it depends on the person, but I never really got the hand-eye coordination down of drawing on one thing but looking at another. I'm 10x more accurate if I'm looking directly at where my pen is.
>>528045201I would pay money to not have to see it.
>>528045519>Don't draw with your wrist. Use your bigger muscles.so...draw with my dick? hmmm...
>>528044523>Also screen tablets killing your wrist. If you see artists talking about their hand being dead after 30lvl - it's thanks to screen tablets.skill issue. I use a Wacom 24" screen tablet for 7-8 hours a day at work and have never had an issue with hand cramps.
The problem with people getting hand cramps is that theyre faggots and think every tube-shaped object needs to be held like its a dick.
>>528045519>but on one out of every 50 or so strokes, it would freak out, jump slightly, and force me to ctrl-Z which got real tiresome real quick.such stuff don't exist these days because it's a different market (idk maybe if you buy a 5$ tablet but those dont exist) and people dont sell ultra glitchy garbage anymore
the XP-pen i posted is fine to start.

>>528044917Nah. They're all scattered across my pc. I wouldn't know where to post them.

Added a trinket between working on other things. It lets you view the enemy's stamina, which works pretty much the same as your own. I might make it so lots of enemies will get extra moves if you reduce them to below half hunger. Like it'd be cool if they get desperate and get a grab move that lets them bite you for huge damage, reducing their hunger.

AI cucks????
>>528047026with claude you can either point it to a repo or upload files manually
I regularly do a "make this less shit" prompt and generally get quite a few things that can be improved or fixed

>>528062083No I mean, how do I dress them?
Godotters is there a simple way to create a sprite ghosting effect to show my pixel art character moving at high speeds? My character is composed of multiple sprite2D nodes
>>528020267Science is about proving obvious things to make them verifiable evidence. You are the kind of guy that would never come up with gravity and forever believe Earth is flat because its obvious. Yeah, sure your intuition tells you that people who use ChatGPT are fucking retards, but other people can think it helps people think better or some other dumb shit. The point is that you can now show people proof that AI fags are stupid and lazy and you can write about it in other scientific papers.
>>528065920There's literally a built-in Godot thing to do just that and it's in animatedsprite somewhere.
>>528065357Leather jacket, pleated skirt, fishnet stockings, thick-soled leather boots, white tee shirt with or without print, heavy belt, (spiked) collar.
>>528065920As your character moves, spawn top_level snapshot duplicates of each Sprite2D that your character is composed of and create a tween that applies any effects you want and then calls queue_free on itself.

>>528066642Thank you anon. I shall put your wisdom to use.
If you modify a sound can you still use it without invoking copyright?
Deltarune sampled the mario โMama Miaโ and was able to be sold, does that mean itโs acceptable?
>>528067251In copyright law, a derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyrightable elements of a first, previously created original work (the underlying work). The derivative work becomes a second, separate work independent from the first. The transformation, modification or adaptation of the work must be substantial and bear its author's personality sufficiently to be original and thus protected by copyright. Translations, cinematic adaptations and musical arrangements are common types of derivative works.
>>528067127My stated idea of punk is twenty years in the past and more of the "I like the punk scene but don't care for being sloshed on cheap booze"-kind. Just as a heads-up.
>>528067870That's all I need frankly, it is the vibe I am trying to capture, not era-appropriate authenticity. I never met one of these people either.

now we're really ideating
Will you... collab with me!?
>>528068964I've had this exact conversation with ChatGPT lol. I bet it uses the word "Echoes" in at least one of its suggestions, doesn't it?
>>528069713And if you ask DeepSeek, it will use the phrase "A beat." for some reason. This is why AI will never replace human gamedevs.
>>528069713This time it didn't. But for the last year at least all the llms seem obsessed with echoes.
If you ever ask for a list of spells or cards or relics, it 100% has echoes in there. I don't know why it's so limited.
>>528069912Echoes and some vague concept of "witch gardening" where it talks about growing spells or enchanting plants etc. Always something about magical crops.
>>528070005>The player will roll the dice. A beat. Snake eyes. They lost!
>>528069464I only collab with women(xx), preferably around 20
>>528070290Holy shit the memes were true. AI can generate a word salad of why gambling is addictive or why something is emotions affective but it can't feel it and because of that is completely blind as to what is more or less emotionall affective based on context.
It's like an autistic person

>>528070882I'll post some progress Sunday.

>>528074423where is your creation of note, Loser?
just answer his question.
>>528073524keep rockin' sister!
>>528074423why are you projecting so hard, nodev?
/agdg/ has no resources for game design because no one at /agdg/ knows how to design a game.
>>528073662>>528073842It got 25 during /v/3, and a bit more from Rising Tide. I don't have many wishlist because I'm not actively marketing a mostly incomplete game.
I am well aware that 300 wishlists over 5 months is poor performance. The fact that I have the performance I do with as little as I have done is surprising. It's not really as much of a "gotcha" you might think it is.
>>528073948Not as much as I should, but as above I'm not doing "wide swaths" of marketing. That is not currently my focus.
I could also be posting to youtube and devlogs there. Playing my own game on twitch. Posting constant updates on 30 discord servers (I currently do it to like 4.). Facebook, forums, instagram, tiktok, etc... None of that has been done.
I'll be some of that next week when the new demo is ready.
>>528074623You're a pretty weird dude huh?
>>528074210https://mud.co.uk/richard/DesigningVirtualWorlds.pdf
>>528074934Man the re-writing of history you are doing is so cringe. Months ago you were in here lecturing us all and bragging that you had publishers (including devolver digital) BEGGING you for your game. We all mocked you, and you spazzed out. archives are freely available, tranny. I remember you posting your slide deck acting all high and mighty. Faggot.
>>528070543why not collab with your feminine dev bro?
>>528075275>Months ago you were in here lecturing us all and bragging that you had publishers (including devolver digital) BEGGING you for your game.Can I get the post number?
>>528074934Definitely post more on reddit. I think your art style would catch eyes in the indie games/dev reddit pages. Just give some bullshit "I finally got X feature working!" excuse in the title to post your own shit.
important update: my vibe coded social sim now has slop graphics for every in-game location
>>528075820why does this slop game has so much sovl?
>>528075965>AI SLOP BUT JAPAN
>>528075358Because trannies are gross? Be a man at least
>>528074210Picrel. He has good talks online too. He's good when it comes to playful whimsy in games, but the book covers much more than that as well. His "lenses" system is interesting and really works to spur ideas.
>>528075820is this a porn game?
Got catfished by my artist again...
>>528075486>he thinks people can search the name of his game in the archivesKEKLMAO how is the slide deck coming faggot? I noticed you didnt acknowledge that, did I hit too close to home? (homo)

There was other stuff but yeah. Besides some clipd I never even watched the anime.
Now onto the topic of gamedev. I'm devving too slow right now. Sisters why must it be so!!!! I'm making progress, but it's just not enough! I need more knowledge and work ethic. Yet I get stalled so easily, a hard task and I may just end up making tiny bits of progress before doing something else entirely before coming, repeat until done.
How are there 3 people if 1 code got used?

I literally thought he was 26 at most.
>>528076696Np. You can also crawl through the free GDC Vault videos. Leagues of game designers, both legendary and relatively unknown indie, have given talks on design over the years. You can just find one with a topic that sounds cool or if its from a game designer you like. Some of them feel a bit stuffy imo, which studying "game design" as a subject has a tendency to become.. but at the end of the day it's not harmful to extract something out of the play experience and put it under an analytical microscope. Eventually design becomes pretty vibes based, but knowing these patterns and principles can help you get off the ground and build that intuition. Good luck

just eat right, exercise some, maybe do skincare, don't get cooked in the sun
>>528077575Wouldn't it be better if you let the itch demo up to attract more people, that might not be on steam, or prefer itch?
>>528078085I'm 33, get cooked in the sun regularly, and will still regularly be mistaken as a high schooler or college kid. Just eat healthy and exercise regularly.

>>528078173Honestly, it's difficult to say. You could equally be creating abstraction between a person downloading and playing the demo, and not knowing where to get the full game.
I don't plan on selling the game on itch.

Linux is such a stupid bipolar operating system, like it keeps crashing sometimes, then it's completely fine for a few days, then out of nowhere (no updates, nothing) crashes again... wtf. make up your mind moody bitch.

I suggest you go with Fedora if you want a smooth experience while still having an Upstream Distro.
>>528079639Again like I mentioned, I didn't do anything. Most of the time it's like this, it just starts croaking out of nowhere. Or atleast seemingly out of nowhere, and anyway I'm just venting, I don't actually have the interest in hopping to anything else.

If you develop games, you are trans. Full stop.

>>528080442I'll consider it. You are right, but I would rather be directing people toward steam. Also, steam has tracking of metrics and playtime. I don't get any information from itch other than number of downloads.
I would rather not integrate analytics and spyware shit into my game just to get metrics.

>>528080889I see your point, but still, a few extra copies sold can't hurt even if no analytics. One more question. I really liked the music you used in the v3 trailer, did you write that or am I actually fucking enjoying AI music?
