Time to dev.

miss tachibana in the thread

Our response, Ericsisters?

I honestly only lack an action platformer/metroidvania/fighter module for my framework and I can basically make my own kof game harem kensour porn parody.

Meanwhile, Doom/Quake chads at /vr/ can write an entire Phd thesis about the nuances of level design.

fuck this
funny how every dev has 1 (one) big huge problem that prevents him from making a game

the key of making games is just being free

Just live at your grandma's house and never work. work is a meme.
just make games.
even if they dont succeed.
Just do them. eventually one game will become hit. even if it will take 10-20 years
(Creator of Freddy Crueger created him in his 40s. before that he was making shitty movies nobody cared about - many such cases!)

>>528170465
What happens if you're past 35?

do people prefer a game with a definite ending, or one where you just play until youre bored?

all people im being inspired by, made their big hit only after 40-50.
artist life never stops.

Even more. Some of stuff that inspired many people and became cult classic, was considered a fail/flop when they made it after hard work. But they managed to become famous later because they never gave up

Being an artist is not for pussies.

>>528170681
Definite ending. Because then the designer have to actually put in the work and bring out the best ideas from his vision. Instead of writing a procedure without any thought.

>>528170643
generally on average the greatest artists start to make it after 35, if they started when they were 10-15.

you started with gamedev because you were a degenerate gooner who watches animes and plays video games all day, not because you were a boomer. so stop pretending that a boomer mindset will turn you into a yesdev.

>>528172418
bruh my gf can draw and first time she opened krita she was painting something cool. there are no "tools", what you need is skill

Working on a pseudo-RTS within a strategy board game shell. You move assets between points on a map, "zoom" into points to build bases, and watch battles occur over them using crude NPC logic. I just habitually went with the GBA-inspired sprites for an older build, but would it be better if I force myself to learn Blender and go for a 90s RTS look? Any other style suggestions?

>>528172418
Pixar released a huge collection way back in the 90s. Start with that.

>>528172418
https://web.archive.org/web/20120930080255/http://cgtextures.com/content.php?action=tutorials

also redoing the system for the physics animation for enemies its much better now.

>>528172418
look up pixiv sensei tutorials on how to paint anime illustrations, they cover stuff like rocks and trees.

What you want is just anime painting fundamentals.

As for tools, you can use blender and then UV to paint using Krita.

As for a practical tip, besides learning 2D painting fundies and color theory, you should like understand the diference between a soft brush (used for gradients, blending, transitions, soft shadows, ambient oclussion) and a hard brush (used for things like drawing, lines, human lines, cracks, scratches, hard shadows) and then learning to use special brushes like the ones used for folliage and dirt and use masks for things like grudge rust stencils and other things like mud patterns.

Besides that is just most of the time having good reference to copy.

>>528171281
Its over

>>528172642
> GBA or 90s RTS look
No matter what you choose, keep the internal resolution small. For example, your sprites look dull because they are very large compared to the actual details. So either add more details or reduce the resolution of your sprites.

For 90s RTS look, Factorio developers have a blog where they talk about how they did it.

I hate my project.

ToK 2 looks rad!

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.

what are the odds ill become a $27 aire? Asking for a friend.

I know this is a stupid consideration, because I barely have a game at all, but I do wonder: Perhaps I should go apeshit with my theming and say fuck all to optics and appeal. Definitely a bad idea.
Example of my passionate ideas:
>gryphon chests and their shape
>no human women in my game at all
>demonstration (as could be done in a novel) of my religion (which no one else knows about or follows)
>roleplaying with my players
>commissioning fetish art of my characters (haven't made any characters yet)
>presenting my face on camera to do cringe skits and music videos to my barely-listenable tunes (haven't made any tunes yet)
I haven't made any characters or tunes yet because I don't know the context in which they would fit. I'd like to say Fuck It and lose myself. But if I did, I'd wake up tomorrow and be horrified.

My game (Wagie Run)'s progress for this past 2 weeks:
>import and delete free assets because my stupid ass cant decide for the art direction on this game
>finally set one art direction
>import the assets i need, and delete the things i don't need
That's it. 2 weeks, just re-importing and re-deleting assets. Anyway, the art direction for my Pepsi-Man-like game is "PS2 low res-ish stylized" realism. For reference, see Grand Turismo 3, it will look like that, i hope.

>Why?
The only 3D assets that are not cartoony, low poly, and free, are like that. And beside, everyone making PS1 graphic look alike games, why can't i make PS2-like one?

I feel like I owe this community an apology. You kinda deserve whatever happens to you if you use this pedo website but regardless I'm sorry for pushing my coomer faggotry last year and earlier this year, I really lost the plot.

Anyways Branno is a faggot, inner circle is a bunch of libtards (osur and matra are okay though) and KKD and Shobatsu are the only games I ever genuinely cared about from here. Quit posting here and do something worthwhile.

>>528175719
This isn't really the right way to go about it. First of all this doesn't account for AIslop and porn games and any game that's clearly not made for at least minor success. Second if you're getting into gamedev and want to make it big then you better be prepared to spend at least a few years on it, effectively specializing on it which is much easier if you've got a passion for gamedev not just making your own game.

Adobe Substance Designer is the best-in-class tool for texture making
it is a procedural nondestructive node-based material creator
>procedural
you don't have to handpaint anything. you can but you don't have to.
>nondestructive node-based
you can make many different looking textures from very similar finished graphs just by tweaking a few colors and numbers
>material creator
It is designed for making seamless textures. you have to try hard to NOT make a seamless texture with it.
you can make not just the color, but also the height, normal map, ambient occlusion, metallic, or even custom maps all within the same file based off the same data.

Extreme lack of polish both in terms of art and the sound. The game completely falls flat to deliver it's essence. UI elements are supposed to guide your attention to important information. Some stuff just straight up blend with everything else.

>>528180816
> Yeah I meant the design
The idea itself is really neat (not a fan of auto-unit generation but that's a personal preference) but at the current state it's impossible to judge if its actually good or not. I don't think you should look for what "others" think about the design at this stage. You as the designer can see the essence in your head, but you can't except the same from the players. UI really effects how players feel about your game, and it's near impossible to ignore it and give feedback.

It has battles in roughly Sc1-style, but the macro is different. You don’t pick a race, instead you capture points on the map (similar to CoH) and those will produce units for you. Every capture point makes two unique units, and can also be extended with structures. It’s like a little base/faction of its own. Capturing is done by the King and if the King dies, you lose.

There are randomized modes, e.g. survival, as well as a fixed campaign with some kind of story (wip)

oi bruv this website uses biscuits innit

anyway
i've been collecting bocchi images for a while now (to train AI on) and i've been noticing something. there's a lot of memes that just don't make sense. i actually don't believe that knowing the context having seen the anime would make them make sense. They're just completely lolrandom. they're just inserting goto into random scenarios, often straight up replacing the original character with goto and not modifying the joke whatsoever
im starting to think that bocchi is some kinda meaningless brainrot, and that goto has no personality or identifiable traits that would facilitate creation of humorous content. It's almost like they WANT to reference bocchi, but there's NOTHING to reference, so the end result is just "look it's an image of goto and she's uhhh basically not doing anything at all"

compare that to a popular character with a personality, like Harry from Disco Elysium and other characters. Every meme is entirely founded upon the premise and tone of the game. It's a game about a cop schizo, so there's cop things and schizo things. The memes will parody the relationships that the protagonist has with Kim, and other characters. They will parody the way the voices in his head talk to each other. They will reflect the tone and unique writing of the game. They will mimic the artstyle. Does Bocchi have an artstyle? no it doesn't. bocchi is not a "popular media has memes made about it". It's a weird obsession.
i don't like autists. they can be captivating but only if they're smart savant types. This nigga just spams his waifu with vague somewhat-gamedevvy-but-meaningless messages like "i'm making engine progress!" and then the faggy cheerful "sister" yapping that all animefags do.

but it's okay
when my AI model is complete, i will never have to think about this again. aggy will be saved byh me

>>528183651
but seriously, does anything of note happen in this anime? Why is every meme just "I'm a weirdo crackhead cannibal autismo and I have anxiety" random shit attached to an image of the most generic anime girl in a normal slice-of-life environment?

>>528183865
this shit is so offensively unfunny and devoid of substance that it can't even wrap back around into being funny-because-its-stupid
It feels like AI made - not the random crazy AI, but specifically a modern, safeguarded, low-temperature, boring AI. or an old man who's out of touch with internet youth. Look, it's a generic anime girl template, with random popular meme keywords inserted into it, that contrast with the cheerful and inoffensive nature of a slice-of-life anime! What if Bocchi also had a GUN?! that's so funny hahahaha... It just makes me sigh deeply, not even crack a smile. You have to have a completely tasteless rotting brain to enjoy and create this. Imagine what kinda game this guy is making rn

does monkeydev hate nortubel now too?

>>528183651
Bocchi is just a very likable character. She's cringe, but not so cringe as to be a turn-off like her predecessor Tomoko was, allowing her to achieve mass appeal. She also has a very simple, but recognizable character design that can be slotted into many different situations, just like Hatsune Miku and Hakurei Reimu, making her a prime reference for aspiring artists to practice character illustration with.

Why engage when you can just report off-topic content and post some progress, or respond to someone else's progress.

Today's the solstice, the official start of summer/winter. Everybody excited about a summer/winter of dev? Going to finish your game before the end of summer/winter?

>>528185257
notice he tried to explain why Bocchi is popular (i.e. why the one guy in the thread is obsessed with her) but failed to name any traits that she has.
I will help you: from the images collected I have deduced that she wants to perform in a rock band, but has advanced stage fright and other relatable insecurities. Why is this never used for humor in memes? What is the joke in "popular unrelated meme but person is photoshopically replaced with Bocchi"?

>character design that can be slotted into many different situations
you don't create jokes by slotting a character into a situation that doesn't make sense. There has to be some connection, some humorous punchline, some shared cultural reference. What the fuck is happening in picrel? Nothing. It's just a funny meme photo that replaces a character with Bocchi. for. no. reason.
Is she an alien that morphs other people into Bocchis, agent Smith from Matrix style?
or are you an alien and this is how you see homo sapiens comedy?

Coomer's Remorse?

Last thread someone asked what % of steam games have more than 1000 wishlists prior to launch so I did some digging. Turns out 70% of all steam games scheduled for 2025 release have 1k or more wishlists. Insane

I guess this is why the advice is to get 10-15k wishlists before launch, it's the only way to be in the top 10% of games.

1. The real reason is that the autist thought that the name Goto is a reference to the keyword goto from the C programming language, and thought this was justification enough to promote her to be the mascot of the thread.

2. The other copycat anons are shitposting to feel like they belong to "gamedev" and procrastinate doing actual work. They also don't know reason 1 and think her actual name is "Bocchi".

3. The jannies are old normie men hired by Hiro and think anime is "board culture", so if anime girl is present it can never be off-topic. This explains why Bocchispam is never deleted but other avatarfags are (like fygon)

Mystery solved, now we can get to work.

>>528178815
>inner circle is a bunch of libtards
yep, if you aren't a tranny communist faggot they will blacklist you and communicate the blacklist out to everyone they know. Pretty funny and petty desu

>>528186840
Name a single dev who was blacklisted

>>528185831
First off anon, you are severely autistic. That's fine, but recognize that your sensibilities do not match up with the common populace.

There is a common fan headcanon where bocchi is a futa with a massive cock. The illustration you posted is by Khyle, who is well known for sus memes: https://twitter.com/khyleri/media

This website is 4chan, which has fostered a reaction image culture since its inception. Because Bocchi has a tendency to make a lot of funny faces and there are many different artists on the internet creating fanart of Bocchi, Bocchi naturally becomes a prime character to use for common generic reactions, similar to cats and frogs.

let me guess: you saw all those zoomers being neurotic over anime fanservice and became like them
lot of great artists were pervs that even told critics to fuck off

why bother when this angry crowd never forgives even over the least worst shit?

>>528183865
>>528183651
>so autistic he can't understand people having fun posting silly images with no context to make people laugh, which is done across the entire internet
That point aside the anime is above most slop out right now because it deals with actual real issues like the loneliness epidemic, people retreating into the internet, not being themselves and connecting with others, finding freedom through art
Bocchi has a relatable plight, just replace playing guitar in a band with coding/doing art with a small indie team

>>528186991
>you are severely autistic
well uhhhh not that you care buuuuhhtt... dk... i've done many tests before and every single time scored very very low on autism, aspergers, and so on. I'm sociable and communicate fine with people, new people, not a lot of awkwardness. Also is it really fair for you to refer to 4chan users as "common populace"? Common populace is people who don't watch anime or use memes, or anything. Normies. 4chan users are the autistic ones. So if there's any conflict of sensibilities between me and 4chan users, surely i would not be the one on the autistic side.
>There is a common fan headcanon where bocchi is a futa with a massive cock
so what you're saying is that you confirm that this has no relation to the contents of the anime (all that stuff about doing music and having stage fright) and just lolrandom made up shit, so i was right?
>Because Bocchi has a tendency to make a lot of funny faces
that's fine, but that doesn't explain inserting her into various situations that do not create a meaningful humorous scenario, and instead just tell me of some kinda weirdo NPC who cannot parse or enjoy content unless his favorite reconigzable pink blob is there.
Same with Miku, by the way. always hated how she randomly overtook LLM-related generals on /g/ instead of the llama mascot. she has nothing whatsoever to do with AI or LLMs. it's just "woah anime girl!" *starts drooling* effect. You guys are just faggots

keep in mind. i would not be half as annoyed if bocchi was kept to /bg/ - Bocchi General on /a/. you brought it here to thread of gamedev. you made it my problem

tl;dr why are we posting bocchis now?

I don't feel original

>>528187932
>bocchi has a relatable plight
and how would i find out about that plight from you posting picrelated
>the loneliness epidemic, people retreating into the internet
people retreating into the internet to harass random niggas with their dogshit anime avatarfagging
don't make your loneliness epidemic my problem
i just want to talk about gamedev

>>528188307
>now

I'll "avatarfag" as sailor moon characters how would you feel about that fygoon

>>528188049
It is not unique to bocchi. It is extremely common for artists to insert popular characters into various situations. That is one of the number one recommended way for artists to do studies and git gud at illustration. If you go to the twitter of any popular artist and look at their oldest works, you will find at least a few Reimus or Mikus.

Are you new to the internet?

>>528188375
Well more than average

>>528188397
you keep making it a "bocchi vs fygoon" thing as if you're not one and the same
>>528188468
>It is not unique to bocchi
i never claimed it was a unique bocchi phenomenon. im just saying it's slop, and it's not funny or cute or gamedev-related. In a lot of words.

>>528188307

>>528188614
It's a reaction image, same as a cat or a frog, and has been a part of 4chan culture since inception.

>>528188752
idk i've been here a while and it's not often that what you claim to be a mere reaction image is obsessively promoted to be a mascot of the thread.
The OP post should be game progress or at least a gamedev meme like idk starring Jon Blow fighting Eric Barone or some shit.
i think that guy is too obsessed for it to be just a "reaction image".

>>528189202
>>528189328
You do realize that you're just doing it to yourself, right? You already know there's no reward, so could just choose to stop working.

>>528189067
The OP would also end up being a frog or a cat if autistic spergs like you started crying in every thread about how there are too many frogs or cats posted here.

This has been said a thousand times but all kinds of anime get posted as reaction images on this website. On any board/thread. Can be for whatever reason. Bocchi just happened to catch on here

do you think there's some kind of conspiracy or something? to post a pink haired anime girl on a gamedev general on 4chan? to turn everyone here transgender maybe?

>>528190898
bocchi is just gen-z k-on which is just gen-y beck

Bocchi is the embodiment of the anxious creative

Hitori Gotou (Bocchi) is a painfully shy girl who desperately wants to connect with others through her passion (in her case, guitar; for devs, it's games). She:
>Creates alone in her room
>Struggles with sharing her work
>Has big dreams but is held back by anxiety
This is extremely relatable to solo devs, many of whom are introverted, self-critical, and working in isolation.

>>528190931

You are objectively wrong

I should have been paying attention to other games on steam, apparently I put too much effort into my game or something.

why people say ONE HUNDRED GAMES COME OUT ON STEAM EVERY DAY.
When actually majority of them are SEAmonkey/Indian asset flip that can't be considered real game?

I like to pace in my room imagining I'm being interviewed. I just spend the past hour -- no, probably 2 hours -- listening to the jeff vogel interview by thomas brush, and imagining how I would reply to the questions, and how I would reply to questions specific to my game. What an inspiration builder. And a time waster. And an overall waste of time.

>>528191957

>>528192494
it's a real problem because it discourages people from searching for new titles on their own and encourages them to rely on automated sorting algorithms. Those automated sorted algorithms in turn will only point people to things that are already popular and classify your game as the same level as the asset flips you are callously dismissing. Despite looking down on them, the truth is that by all objective standards, your game is no better than them.

>>528193112

Do you use emacs for Godot development?
I haven't gone outside the built-in editor yet, I'm just learning.

I am a linux lad 4 lyfe but no editor comes close to VS Code. A properly riced vim is second, but only pays off if you're constantly learning and even practicing nice shit that you'll use once every 3 months so you can use it without spending even more time looking up docs. This is many years of active dedication, and also must come with a properly riced shell and so on.
Good option for those inclined, but 2nd to VS Code, easily.

>>528193518

>>528193620
that's were advertisement comes in. Not the "spent money to put adds everywhere and paying streamers" but "beg on 4chan, reddit and gamejams for people to try it out"

70% of steam games have over 1000 wishlists pre-release and you're laughing?

what language/framework/engine should i use to make a free cities clone
i dont think ill use twine since its kind of a hack job to use an interactive fiction framework for a simulation game
im leaning towards something with a dynamic, interpreted language and runs on the web -- so maybe just javascript + a framework?

>>528193976
Yeah, I always edit (and compile if the engine/IDE allows it) inside Emacs and execute/debug on engine/IDEs. This gives me the ability to jump to errors with a keystroke, fix it, jump to next error. This makes refactoring really trivial.

>>528186629
There's no way. The majority of steam games are slop no one wants, they're not getting 1k wishlists

I've been programming for 20+ years, and if a text editor takes longer than one second to boot up, I'm not using it.

for many years I was strictly vim with a bunch of plugins, it isn't bad at all especially with good shell shit, I liked oh-my-zsh a lot.

Why not? Video games are art, you never know what might catch on, picrel related.

Agdg always have one set of idiots spamming something for months until

>2. they meet another schizo constantly spamming slurs back at them who starts to stalk them and their games or falseflag
>3. they just permanently leave the thread
>4. some new anime or game popularity catches on so they start spamming that instead

Which then makes them start to spam something else. I suspect that they're slowly moving to Arisu spam because of 1. and 2.

Metroid.

There are 34299 total upcoming games on Steam right now
out of those 34299, only 12003 are at or above 1000 wishlists (they use estimates but let's assume the estimates are right)

This means that out of all upcoming Steam games 35% have about 1000 or more wishlists.

>>528200506
You can have Godot downloaded and running in less than a minute, Unity downloaded and running in around 5 minutes, and Unreal downloaded and running in around 15 minutes.

>>528199005
Here's some additional:
- About 8278 games have 2000 or more wishlists. This is 24% of upcoming games
- About 4891 games have 5000 or more wishlists. This is 14% of upcoming games
- About 3102 games have 10000 or more wishlists. This is 9% of upcoming games.

It seems like the number of games doesn't shrink exponentially which means the competition is severe and wishlistflation is at an all time high. What a horrid age we live in.

Very.

No dev alert, making sprites for fun.

Would you play a game as a golden hand shaped space ship that can turn projectiles and enemies into gold? And the points that make up your score is actually your ammo? No power ups to collect, just toggle your power setting between 1 and 4 and blast away. The more powerful your shots are, the faster your ammo (score depletes). You could also grab flashing enemies and objects to throw at other enemies and cause a chain reaction that leads to shot tons of gold bouncing around to collect.

This took forty five minutes. Sprites for its different power settings, for grabbing, holding, and throwing, the last one showing it taking damage.

games already exist
you don't have to make them yourself
you can just play them

I'm imagining freckle duck bunny red haired clowneverbeit right now and it is motivating me intensely.

Me in the top 24% and I don't think I'll get into the 14% unless some youtuber plays my game after I send it to press.

It was at a furcon. I could tell the story. He started talking to me then spontaneously hugged me. For a long time.... I've never been so desired. I rested my head on his. I can still smell the fake fur. Then he just left. I wish I could hold a fursuiter all night. I just want to be held.

>>528201962
I no longer derive as much pleasure from playing them

>>528201941
sounds alright, but score being your ammo seems kind of self defeating, since it effectively means infinate ammo, unless you suck at hitting things. I'd rather it be for special attacks/revives.

Here's a very good method all of you can use to immediately disregard 90% of useless feedback

Let's say that some know-it-all post you a comment somewhere telling you that you should do A B and C to 'improve' your game. Ask yourself
- is this person my follower on this platform?
- is this peroson my follower on any platform at all?
- if yes, does this person ever engage with my content in any way?
- is this person a paying customer?
- has this person in any way supported your work?

If you answered 'no' to any of this you can immediately throw it in the trash. You can use your judgement to evaluate the other 10% of situations. Cheers.

>>528203127
If they really cared about your game they would have found a way

>>528202476
The amount it costs could be adjusted so that relative to other shmups it seems more sparse. As for special attacks and revives, that ain’t a bad idea.

Yeah, exactly there are hundreds of games on steam... and you could be one of them. You could be making somebodies favorite experience. You could actually gain real world experience of launching a product that WILL help you into your future even if you are not financially successful.

This is wishful thinking. No one will like your game. Your game will be absolutely nobody's favorite experience. The only thing you will learn form the experience is that you wasted 2 years of your life you will never get back and should have gone done something productive instead.
t. has actually shipped a commercial game

>>528203364

That's an oxymoron. Nepobabies are kids born into non-normie levels of wealth and privilege. A nepobaby cannot be a normie, and a normie cannot be a nepobaby.

nsfw artists will cancel my sfw game because my nsfw artists found my nsfw alias and now i'm exposed as a gooner and my life is pretty much over.

>>528205793
Anyone who can afford indoor plumbing is a nepobaby by agdg streetshitter standards.

It's starting to dawn on me that the game I spent 4 years on probably isn't going to do well.

>>528205917
You're at a crossroads where you need to take a long hard honest look at the game and figure out if it can be pivoted into a game that's good or if it's a lost cause that needs to be dropped.

Too many losers here have been locked up in their mom's basement for so long that they've forgotten that they are complete losers who will never make anything out of their pathetic lives. You are not some elite autistic hacker known as 4chan. You are an underachieving incompetent loser with no marketable skills, and you will never make a successful game.

>>528207627
Ok even if that's true why are you so upset?

Honestly think I'm going to take a luck approach next time I release a game, IF I don't give up. Really, just shadowdropping your game one day randomly and just hoping it sells is far better for you than actually putting the work in and researching market trends.

Solo indie gamedev is one of the absolute hardest things you can be doing in life. Those that have it in themselves to work harder, git gud, and succeed will do so regardless of what they read on an anonymous image board and are impossible to "crab". Those that don't have it in themselves SHOULD give up for their own good. This jobby is not for everyone. In fact, most anons would be WAY better off if they give up this pipe dream of escaping the wagecage or imminent homelessness via solo indie gamedev and instead, bite the bullet, learn one single marketable skill, and get an industry job at some AAA studio. Too bad that sounds too realistic and practical. They would rather stay delusional.

Adding to this, there have been essentially ZERO successful solo indie gamedevs. The vast majority of supposed "solo indie gamedevs" were in fact NOT solo. Toby Fox had a team, including an artist who led the entire art direction of Undertale separate from Fox. Eric Barone had a publisher who gave him art contractors and more importantly playtest contractors to help hone the addictive nature of Stardew.

If you want to make a successful game you absolutely cannot be a solodev.

Your odds are better playing the lottery.

I can't wait to work on fun features instead of this low level engine stuff.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this: The better my game has become the more people have become dismissive or even openly hostile towards it. When it was a programmer art pile of nuts and bolts everyone complimented me and told me how great it is but the better it became the more it provoked angry and negative reactions from those same people.

/agdg/ wants you to fail. They want you to stay a loser with no realization and no future. The better you become the more they will hate you for it. Nothing about this is rational. Nothing about this is meritocratic. The better your game becomes it will just attract more hostility from the inner circle - those very same devs you know and love - they feel threatened by you. It's ugly but it's the truth.

That's because you still don't understand what good art is. Simple programmer art is good because it clearly communicates gameplay. Mediocre art with mixed fidelity doesn't add anything to the game, and instead only muddies gameplay.

>>528217697
It sells because it's a good, fun game that people want to play.

I’m thinking of starting to make a game if I don’t get a job this summer, I’m thinking of doing a dungeon crawler kinda like king’s field with very rudimentary 3d since I can’t draw for shit(how originals), the thing is I’m struggling to find interesting mechanics, I already have that go in back out kinda thing like king’s field (god I fucking love king’s field) I have basically most of the setting in my head already, problem is I don’t have that much interesting original mechanics, the combat I kinda wanted to put in a side step mechanic but fight knight’s already kinda that, maybe it’s original enough in a non grid environment like real time combat, there’s more of that getting behind the enemy and back attacks and what not thing going on, like I attack the front and enemy does a stab and i dodge to the side and the he spins so I go back and then I go behind him and he does a back attack or whatever and it could have a more environment focused thing going on like more traps and enclosed spaces like more of a dungeon, sen’s fortress kinda thing,I love sen’s, I love the traps stuff, I just doesn’t feel very original over all
The setting is at least somewhat original I hope

There's your problem, you think it's an abstraction. You're treating it like high level (fake) math.

Nice. Still would like to see bigger carrying inventory. Or at least a way to quickly restock when the customer phase isn't going on.


Check out this boner enemy I made. Really pleased with how he turned out. He'll be a pathetic little guy who runs from the player until they get close (then he'll throw whatever he's holding or pull back his skull and fire a laser beam).

You should make it again, ideally in 3D using Godot or Unity rather than whatever garbage framework like javax.swing your useless class told you to make it in. You can't design anything without knowing what limitations you're designing within.

I posted about this the other day, you can now access the storage inventory while the shop is closed (this took a considerable rewrite).
I still have hopes for a limited inventory while the shop is open, though. We'll see how it pans out.

Nice. I don't check the thread too frequently so I just know what I recall from the last Demo Day. Good job on that rewrite.

>How come the boneman has purple acne? Enemy gameplay wise sounds funny, though a pain to track down if you want to maximize exp per floor.
Lore tldr is a "digital infection" of sorts. All the enemies in the game stem from these little virtual pet guys (that people carry around inside of weapons) consuming their owners. All the enemies are going to have some sort of signage or pattern that evokes the low-res virtual pet imagery.

As for exp there shall be no exp in the game! These guys are mostly decorative, but I might also let them alert other enemies if they see you.

>>528218412

>>528221290
People aren't playing those games because they are good fun games that people want to play. They are playing them because of social pressures, or to trade feedback. It's the same as when friends and family humor kids and go to watch kids sports events or music recitals. You are no longer a kid. Grow up.

>>528221504
Interesting, well as long as there's some sort of progression the lack of exp is fine I imagine. As for the lore, it sounds 2deep4me, tomagachi inside weapons that consume the people holding them? Kind of whack, but I imagine it makes more sense when you play it.

My game is taking so long. it was cutting edge when i started. but when i release it will be considered retro

Why the fuck are turn-based battles more complicated than I thought. I fucking thought they'd be simpler than real time action combat but there's a million things underneath the hood going on, so unbelievably tedious, and I haven't even gotten to the graphics yet, this is still just the logic.
Current state: exhausted

>>528221328
I think it's the syntax and maybe overthinking it like >>528218565 suggested.
I got really hung up on trying to understand from a "int* blah" vs "int *blah" perspective both.

>>528221516
Yeah. I know. And the fact that it's so straightforward to show makes me feel like even more of a ding-dong, thanks.
But you can't just look at an image like that and then start actually doing anything meaningful with pointers afterwords.

>>528222902
they can be simpler. but we choke on our ambitions...

It seems that you're wasting your time if you market your game outside of reddit, tiktok and instagram.

>>528222976
One simple trick that took me a long time to figure is you should stop treating programming and math "personally", and what I mean by that is treating it as a very serious problem and overthinking a bunch about how it's solved that way and why and trying to understand it 100% and all of that jumble in your mind. Instead treat it as a kids toy you couldn't care less about, try to figure it out as if it's a children game, and if you can't, try again later or tomorrow.
I really don't know how to convey this properly but it's basically the "just stop caring" meme applied to math/programming.

>>528223614
ah also reddit I forgot reddit .

>>528222976
It's not that complicated. int* is a pointer (address) to an int. * is also an unary operator called "dereference" which is the action of visiting an address. You can use the operator & called "address of" to get the address of a variable (i.e. a memory location).

The simplest way to learn pointers is in the context of C arrays, which are stored in sequential memory, and therefore you can directly perform math operations on those addresses. The [0] operator is the exact same as the * operator. my_array[1] is the same as *(my_array+1). and my_array[2] is the same as *(my_array+2).

Engines like Unity and Godot are designed around real time gameplay. If you want turn-based gameplay, and you don't want to just buy/download a premade system, then you essentially need to enginedev that entire system yourself.

Yes, and a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

I think I need to actually just go this route >>528223528 in a sense, and just grind through a lot of usage somehow.
It's just weird because I usually am able to really "get" things from definitions and minimal examples. But for some reason it doesn't happen with any explanation of pointers I've seen so far.
It's almost definitely a matter of needing to get hands on with it, I bet.

>>528221987

It's not the same at all. All kinds of creative hobbies have small collaborative events like this. Like musicians or writers sharing with each other. and not everyone's goal is to make money, just share their work, get feedback, have fun. You sound so jaded you can't even conceive of that notion. You're the one who needs to grow up dawg

>>528222976
Think of it: why would you even use pointers in the first place?

Example:
int a = 1;
int b = a;

That just works and there's nothing wrong with it. It's also fast because it just copies 32 or 64-bits depending on compiler optimization, CPU architecture and more.

Example 2:
int f(int a)
{
// There is NO way to change something outside this function without resorting to making the variable you want to change into a global or returning the new value from this function.
}
f(a);

int f2(int *a)
{
*a = 1; // Pointers are required in this case because there is no other way aside from the options I mentioned in f(int a)
}

int fret(int a)
{
return 1; // If you're not using global variables then you would return the new value. For this case this would still be fast and the compiler will insert not too many instructions.
}
int b = fret(a);

Example 3:
struct Data {
int myData[2000];
};
int f(Data d) // This will copy an int array every time you call this function if it even works at all because you might need more stack space.
{
// ...
}
Data f(void) // This will return and also copy an entire int array.
{
// ...
}
Depending on how the compiler will optimize this it may do a variety of options like adding a implicit pointer in the instructions before you call f(). But there are no guarantees and the worst case is that it will copy data unnecessarily.

Example 4:
int f(int *myData)
{
// ...
}
f(d.myData); // Passing a member will convert the array to a pointer.

Example 5:
int myData[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};
int *myPtr = myData;

0[myPtr] == myPtr[0] // Arrays are pointers so this will both result in *(myPtr + 0) or *(0 + myPtr)

That's fine, but then stop crying and sperging out in the thread whenever you and your loser friends get less than 10 reviews on Steam. If you want a hugbox, then stay in your hugbox.

codetards really like to talk about their hundred lines of code, but when you ask them to post their game, it looks like this

>>528225306
it's almost like coders know their code is useless without art and talk about it constantly craaaaazy
thanks for proving their point btw

>>528225306
or it looks decent but they spent much more on art than they'll ever get back..

>>528224718
Yes sis, the best way to learn is ALWAYS to deeply understand what the purpose of something is and why we do it in the first place. I never understood why high level OOP fags never think of pointers are just a reference, which is really all that it is. You need to use it to understand what it even is.

>>528224093
It's interesting that you say this, but all graphics are real time anyway, and video games are pretty much defined by the graphics being more flexible than other game formats. The entire picture is ALWAYS drawn, 60 times every second, and nothing shows up until the buffers are flipped, so... but in any case I find the most tedious things with turn based is the constant validation, checking, and displaying the results afterwards. You can't do it as it happens like in real time, only after, so you need to also keep track of lots of things.

>>528225306
Indeed

>>528226252
It's more so that most of the interesting "system" interactions in a real-time game is handled by built-in systems like the physics engine. Rather than just using Areas and RayCasts, you are most likely writing out some kind of custom grid movement system. Rather than just calling to an animation player whenever the player executes an attack, you need to write out your own action sequencing system, not to mention all the extra UIs.

>>528222902
Imagine thinking menu simulators are hard or technically impressive. Physics and collision detection require you to dissect things happening in less time than it takes for you to blink.

>>528227086
It's not hard, just tedious.

tell me anon, is your game WOKE?

>>528222902
>so unbelievably tedious
ah yes, the great filter of gamedev

>>528227416
Tedious is hard. I think you mean to say "it's not complicated", which is not from a programming standpoint, but it definitely is still very complicated from a game design standpoint. It's simple only if you clone well-established and well-tested systems.

>>528227086
>Physics and collision detection
I just setup an engine for myself here and I thought it would handle tunneling out of the box but I still gotta parameterize the thing here and there

>>528232794
yep, I switched from blender to unreal recently, it's going ok, LOTS of annoying stuff, like phantom frames, copy paste sometimes doesnt work, flip poses is crazy work, dragging keyframe perf is shit, etc... but, if you make animation for UE game, I would still recommend it, because you don't have to deal with import/export issues, what you see is what you get. I also really like the rigging process, building rigs in UE is much more intuitive for me cause I'm a programmer.

Blender is still much better to animate in tho, I just.. really don't like import/export between blender and unreal, especially for animations that involve interactions between objects or characters, that pain is higher than the current UE animation tools pains.

so anyways, there I was, independently deriving pathfinding algorithms from scratch for my game when I accidentally achieved agi
