Halfway through development, the devs forgot to finish the game. You would have thought they would know better by now, but they don't.

>>528408409
Doing stuff for the sake of getting a girlfriend only will not get you a girlfriend. They can smell the desperation.
You need substance in your life and hobbies and there's no cure for poor social skills.
If you can't better yourself for yourself, why should a girl be with you?

100% true.
Godot had two big innovations as a general purpose engine:
- gdscript being an interpreted, dynamically typed language that can call pre-compiled code
- the Node abstraction over the more complex, but still accessible, server functionality.
Most game engines two layers, a gory 'core' that's hyper-optimized and does the heavy processing like Rendering and Networking, and a softer 'shell' which allows you to write looser, easily changed scripts that call the gory core.

This is the reason Python was so successful, it provided the niceties of a programming language: complex data types, control flow, packaging, while still allowing you to call the pre-compiled Fortran or C code without having to do complex memory management or deal with pedantic type systems.
And per abstraction, many language libraries provide two interfaces: the meta-programming one that will generate boiler-plate code for you based on things like annotations and the more specific underlying code you can access if you need it. Godot Nodes and Servers are an example of this.

Unity fails in this regard by trying to use a statically-typed, 'compiled-ish' language that is C# for scripting and having an abstraction over core functionality that isn't immediately obvious. Unreal Blueprints are slightly better in this regard, but I think that visual scripting isn't expressive enough and is better suited for things like programming lab equipment rather then trying to make something so complex as a game, although a sprinkling of it in things like animation trees and state machines isn't so bad.

when you think about it, it's weird that asians aren't all in on AI because of their work culture, it must mean that AI is actually just a slop toy that has no potential for actual work

i think the only viable path as a solodev is to become a prototype dev. like, make something cool first and if it really hits the right spots, you absolutely need to make a kickstarter. and then, if the kickstarter is a success, you need to hire 1-2 artists fulltime.
i don't see any other way. everything else is just wishful thinking about how you'll be superman some day, working 24/7 for 10 years alone to grind out that solodev game.

give the people what they want
the copycats are forced to mobile, steam users are too savvy to be scammed by blatant ripoffs of games that are already popular on steam
the average mobile gamer plays clash of clans for 30 minutes a week and nothing else
it's a much "softer" market to penetrate, but due to intense competition, requires huge marketing budgets
just making a good game with unique ideas and releasing it on steam is still a better approach if you actually care about video games
if all you want is money, just copy something popular on steam, simplify it, and spend as much money as possible on advertisements

>>528408227
Reviews were too negative. Thought I'd mix it up.

Threadly reminder that even gamedev success can be a trap.
Imagine your game earns you 10 years of income. Would you quit your job and start making games full time? If so, you'd have fallen into the same trap I did.
The crux of the trap is the time you spend as a gamedev will count against you if ever need to get a job again. And the ironic thing is the more successful you are, the more dangerous the trap will be unless you earn enough money to never need a job again.
The only way full-time gamedev would be sustainable is if your games keep earning you at least a year of expenses for every year worked... until you're literally 75. And I do mean literally. When you're 72, you'll need to sit down and make a game that earns you 3 years of expenses. Anything short of that and you'll eventually run out of money. And when you do, you'd have been 10-15-20 years out of the job market and good luck getting a job with an employment gap that big.
When you run out of money, it can take as little as a couple of months for your life to be ruined. That's what happened to me. I found myself broke at 45 and no job for the past 15 years except making games. And I'm looking at 30 more years of having to survive. I can't get job interviews, I can't afford to keep working on games, and I'm too old to get into trades. My life is probably fucked because my first project earned me 10 years of income and I quit my job like a dumb ass.
Anyway, the point of this is to warn you: DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOBS UNLESS YOU EARNED ENOUGH MONEY TO NEVER NEED A JOB AGAIN. If my warning saves even a couple of you, it's worth it.

>trademarking a game that flopped

>>528410589
Now, what you need to remember about this idea of a scripting language covering a gory core is that it's not exclusive to Godot, it exist in many other places, and you can take advantage of it.
Here are some examples of where else you can find the pattern:
- Your web browser using JavaScript
- Shell scripting that calls the operating system
- Supreme Commander used Lua scripting on top of their engine and is the RTS with the most units
- Halo 1 and 2 used a lisp-dialect called BlamScript
- Balatro and SNKRX both used Lua(a scripting language) and Love2D, a framework over an OpenGL backend
Looking back, Unreal and Unity are kind of anomalous and I think history will show it as great mistake that we tried to Frankenstein C# and C++ into game programming. Not a knock against any hard core Rust or C chads who know how hexagon arch. works and just prefer doing their own memory management at all times, but I think it's so much easier doing iterative game design with scripting languages
>>528411412
This is also true. Not having to worry about other libraries while scripting is actually a huge relief and it integrating with the node system with things like @onready save a lot of time.
I hope we'll see more languages that are geared toward game dev in the future. I'm keeping an eye on Jank since Clojure has a history of replacing other frustrating languages: made by an irate Java programmer to replace enterprise Java, used by tired JavaScript developers who were sick of JS(ClojureScript), also used by shell programmers who were tired of writing in Shell(babashka)....
We'll see about Jai. Golang replaced Python in many instances by having lightning-fast compile times and being a very simple language(unlike C). I think Jai could do the same.

>>528413812
A "100k a year" job is not nearly enough. After taxes, food, and housing you're luck to be able to put even 30k a year in the bank. You need closer to a "350k a year" job for 10 years to be able to get a million in the bank. And that's assuming it's just you. Good luck if you're married with kids.

I bounce off them every time I've tried.
When I watch youtube, I want
>precise and in depth answers to my questions (usually longer videos)
or
>slop to watch in the background like boomers did with TV (usually long form)
Shorts are content-less fluff or the few ones that talk about something don't go into enough detail.
The algorithm sucks and the swiping down will invariably give me a worse short than the one I just watched.
Also, you can't even watch them at 2x speed, which makes them ironically feel very slow to my zoomer brain. Like I'd rather watch a 10min video at 2x than a 30s short at 1x.

>>528415094
may these developers learn that mobile markets are absolutely brutal in terms of promotion algorithm engagement
your game will only be promoted if it has high download count, high retention, and with bonus points for high in-game purchases
otherwise, it will immediately stagnate
the key to success on mobile is to create hypercasual, hyperlinear incremental games with simple progression systems, pump them full of time gates and microtransactions (to bypass these time gates), a battle-pass system for character cosmetics, with daily rewards to increase progression for this battle pass
then you spend as much money as possible on advertisements, with "ragebait" footage, to bait people into downloading and playing the free game displayed in the ads

once you gain enough players through these ads who are
- daily users
- microtransaction purchasers
- positive reviewers
the mobile app platform will then promote your game, bringing in the revenue

otherwise, your game flops
it is an incredibly ruthless platform to find success on, and boils down almost entirely to promotion budget, and the conversion rate of your advertisements

if you don't want to optimize for marketing, just stick to steam, and rely on generic social media posts to build your userbase

i feel like isometric 2D is extremely underrated. playing project zomboid i don't see anything negative about it. a lot of detail in objects and all it costs is drawing a single sprite. with 3d models that'd take a lot of triangles. also you don't get any weird uv stretching issues or anything like that. and also you don't have to do pbr maps for objects. it just looks good as it is. and it looks more artistic because of that.

is there a reason why isometric 2D is almost never used? i mean you can still mix it with low poly meshes for animated or freely rotated objects.

>>528413093
This copypasta has been spammed quite a bit already, but no one ever seems to bother to add explicit information on what exactly qualifies as "never have to work again" money and why "10 years of income" is not enough.

In order to never have to work again, you need to be able to survive off interest alone. The "retirement rule" is 4%, but you can't actually use that because the rule was made up for 60 year old boomers planning on their last paycheck to bounce. You will be forced to draw down the principal and in danger of running out of money within 40 years if you use 4%. To never have to work again, you need to be more conservative and use 2%.

Let's be incredibly optimistic and say "10 years of income" comes out to about a million. 2% a year off a lump sum of a million in the bank is only 20k a year. Be a short sighed boomer wanting your money to run out and 4% is still only 40k a year. Not enough to sustain you. You'll still have to work.

2% a year of 10 million is 200k, which might be enough. So you'll need money in the tens of millions to quit your day job.

i think what i really need isn't a solo gamedev project, but a solo programming softwaredev project. but that seems soooooo much harder than gamedev. like, in gamedev you can at least make up something and its cool. but in softwaredev literally everything exists already.

Your game doesn't have to appeal to as many people as possible to be good. Filtering people should be your goal. Easily filtered people in general should be aggressively kept away from your game because they are always going to cause problems later if you don't remove them early and often

>>528436164
I spend half my day on those sites. The bigger genres have overwhelming amounts of flops because they are full of monkey grifters trying to make a quick buck. The players are spoiled for choice so they stick to the top games, and even then they forget them after a week because they have new games to try. You don't understand how the mainstream economy works. Disposable. Highly-Competitive. Stale.

So I got a MIDI keyboard with knobs and now I think I wanna make the music myself too. Haha gonna be 10 more years at least but it will be fun.

not gonna make it to DD again bros
started this project at the beginning of the year haven't been able to submit a single time yet

>>528435252
I try convincing people they don't even need to know how to code to make most indie games. If you aren't programming your own lighting logic, then wtf do you need to be smart for. Just learn what a dictionary is, a list, a foreach loop, and make your fucking game. "Muh design patterns" gtfo. The only "Pattern" I learned was a state system. That's it.

>>528415604
Integration of the syntax to the engine, being able to directly used nodePath is by itself a fucking great thing.

>>528436083
You have it backwards. You're supposed to get a girlfriend in order to make a better game. Making a good games is the end, not the means.

When are marnixdevs gonna fuck off and leave us alone?

Just like bake game lighting.

>>528436484
In the exact same situation as you, hah. Maybe we can make it to dd64 at least?

>>528436380
The only thing that matters is supply and demand. Bigger genres are bigger because they have higher demand, but some of them also have too much supply. For example, metroidvanias have high demand but also an oversupply, and are therefore ultra-competitive and require a very high quality entry in order to compete. However, farming sims have high demand but low supply, and so just about any mediocre entry will sell for millions. I don't think anyone in their right mind would consider farming games a small niche genre.

>>528436565
System complexity grows exponentially with the addition of every system that can interreact with others. Complex systems have not survived the /agdg/ competency crisis.

>>528436993
ahaha yea bro totallyyy im totally gonna have a demo with content and not just sit in my debug room all day feature creeping and stuff

I only shitpost when I'm compiling, so really the worse /agdg/ is, the more is getting done.

>>528437052
Genres like farming sims and RTS games and open world RPGs, etc. might have a low supply but you have to ask yourself why that is. It's because those games are much harder and time-consuming to make than your average indie game in the usual indie genres. Sure, you have less competition, but these are genres that require your full commitment, and either a lot of money or a lot of time or both

>>528437253
Refactoring code to reduce complexity is allowed. If you think the only way to handle complex systems, is complex design patterns that implement interfaces, or multiple levels of polymorphism and abstraction, then you are wrong.

That reminds me though, I do have a very simple save system on one my games. Basically a save, load, update UI method. Then I add this to everything that needs saving. And I just loop through every class that uses it. Very simple. It's ok to use "complex" features in straight forward, simple to read, simple to debug ways.

>>528437419
Actually I take this back, I just had to compile twice because I spelled something wrong both times so that isn't really true all the time.

m*rnix and his consequences have been a disaster for /agdg/

>>528437670
>Refactoring code to reduce complexity is allowed
yeah, people that don't code don't even know what refactoring means

>>528437838
Marnix's issue is not programming. It's art and knowing what game to make.

>>528437918
It's just writing things in a way to get the same result, but simpler. A Mexican restaurant near me had a lunch menu that was literally 1-100. Where many identical items were on the list, but 1 came with beans, and 2 came with rice, and 3 came with both. It was a fucking mess. They refactored the menu and now it's far more easy for the user to engage with.

>>528437670
That's fine for when you're working by yourself, but you can't just do major refactors when you collab, since you basically need to block everyone else out of those systems for however long it takes to do those refactors.

Think of it this way: how many /agdg/ "programmers" are capable of getting a PR accepted by a big repo like Godot or Blender? How many are capable of writing and maintaining a decently popular plugin/addon? Most self-taught devs have no clue what it takes to work with other software developers.

hot slime pussy in a neighborhood near you

>>528438282
mu PRs get always accepted at my job

>>528438282
You can do major refactors. And ya, it's like you said, you block people out or whatever you need to do. If it can be done for a corp with hundreds of programmers and dozens of teams, it can be done with a 2 person agdg team.

It's harder to update Blender safely and effectively than to make a game with 1 or 2 people, so idk what your point is there. I'm saying making an indie game is usually easy. Not that programming overall is easy.

one step at a time
slow and steady wins the race

>>528438659
how does slime puss feel like?

>>528438847
>If it can be done for a corp with hundreds of programmers and dozens of teams
most large companies never do major refactors, amount of technical debt in code written over 20 years is so large they run out of allocated budget and drop the refactoring project

He's right. Big companies never refactor. They're all running on decade old tech barely held together with duct tape. At most, they'll pay a team to attempt to rewrite entire portions of the codebase in parallel, but those rewrites almost never pan out.

For all your pretensions of being better than the "slop" being shoveled out on Steam, the fact is that your game is no different from the "slop" from the perspective of Steam's object algorithm, meaning that your game is objectively "slop" too.

>>528440754
>If a tree falls in the forest, but the algorithm doesn't show it, did it really fall?

>>528440208
>I need 3 monitors.
Cringe

>>528440898
The Steam algorithm is an objective measure of a game's quality because Valve has written it to optimize their profits. It is objective proof that your game is no better than the supposed "slop" you look down on.

>>528441071

>>528442117
Finally someone reasonable.

>>528440754
Steam's algorithm is designed to filter out slop to keep the store page usable. You can just look at the new releases section and see how most of the games in the unfiltered set aren't shown anywhere else in new and popular for proof.
My game is worse than the slop on steam because it is unfinished.

>>528444649
The primary benefit to a raising desk is raising it to the exact height you desire and then keeping it there forever lol. I'll stand once in a while, but I fucking LOVE raising it a bit higher than standard. I also use a corner desk and would never back. I love having my elbows supported.

>>528412334
To be honest, Jonas is pretty fucking good. So I doubt he won't be able to make something again. I just didn't care for his snail game, even though it was neat

>>528444649
You should alternate between the two if nothing else because you shouldn't sit down for too long. The alternative to a standing desk is taking frequent breaks where you get up which isn't conducive to productivity

I have a similar setup to Eric, you get used to it in a couple days and it's nice when you have a low quality office chair or want to get some blood pumping. However, it can get tiring after awhile so like the other anon said, a motor standing desk so you can switch between the two is optimal.

Exactly what it says; polish until its ready and ignore dumb low IQ people that rush their slop "games" into a market. Every indie dev on jewtube is pumping out 10 videos on youtube a week that all say the same garbage "Make small tiny games that are low cost within 6 months tops" but they are forgotten boring slop 90% of gamers would pass up. If you're gonna spend 10 years making 30 games that sell $1000 total in rev you may as well have made a good game during that timeframe that took real effort and not rush slop.

>>528449305
im not either of them but it's funny how they assume you are all of them....just like how they all think im posting bocchi 24/7 and never ever sleep....

You make a good point, I have to say.

>>528449525
>>528450194
Any of you ever worry that you might be overcorrecting and going too far in the other direction? The guy who spent 10 years making 30 bad games that sell $1000 might have developed better skills and be better trained and positioned to eventually make a good game than the guy who spent 10 years making 1 bad game that sells $1000.

>>528450469
The reason it blew up as a "cuck chamber" meme is because the guy is paying for the entire house but has to give all of it up except for the tiny space under the stairs, thus being a "cuckold" who is getting his house usurped by "cuckoos." If you're living with your parents for free, it's quite reasonable for them to force you into a tiny out of the way space.

But the same could not be said for your game where the customer cannot see all 8 revisions of your levels.

alright here's a pitch, a shitty 3d first-person game where you walk around an empty e3-like show floor. idk what the gameplay would be yet

>>528453690
It's not so bad as long as it works right away with automatic weights.

>>528453690

Nooticer here. Came to share something I nooticed.

Time spent on /agdg/ and /gamedev/ is inversely proportional to the time spent making my game. It's more detrimental than vidya or doomscrolling because your crafty dopamine addicted brain thinks you accomplished something by yapping about what you're going to do or reading gamedev posts.

>>528453690

>>528452654

>>528454965
I didn't play it either but animations like these explain the incredibly long dev time.
Polishing, on the other hand, does not explain anything because remaking content gives you the same amount of content. There are no meaningful changes such as rearranging how enemies are placed.

How do you feel about this one art fags

>>528456770
Normals on the right wood box thing suck. The grass edges of the platform bokube sits on in that pic sucks. I'm not a fan of the desaturated leaves in the background on the wall or the giant wood in the middle behind those red frogs or whatever.

>>528455883
Well, for reference, this is the spritesheet for the final boss from Kirby's Adventure. I'd say he's overall more complex looking than the deltarune one.
But, Kirby's adventure didn't take as long as deltarune. Yes I have to admit, they had a team of japanese men whose sole life purpose was to make it and get paid for it, but also this was before we had the incredibly efficient, ergonomic easy to use tools and technologies we have nowadays.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby's_Dream_Land#Development
For the first kirby game, this part describes how inefficient they were aswell.
By the way, I am biased. And my bias is that I have the opinion that modern developers are lazy and weak.

Any tutorial on recreating HOMM3 in godot?

>>528442106
wrong, if you are following a tutorial you should have the tut vid fullscreened on one monitor then your 3d editor fullscreened on the other so you can follow along

also godot editor needs more realestate than a single screen because once you have file browser and properities tab properly useuable the 3d editor region is too damn small, so you really want a super widescreen monitor for godot, the bezel between monitors would probably be a pain too there

and alt-tabbing between apps is slower than mousing over to a different monitor, so 3 monitors is peak, one for web browser one for blender one for game engine

You saw one image of a video game and assume that level is what the entire game looks like.

You realize a real video game that is suppose to have a sense of adventure is going to have different themed zones with levels within that zone fit the theme?

You looked at the tutorial/first zone of the game and assumed every level in the game is suppose to have these colors and theme. Idk where that kind of autism comes from when many games from the fucking 80s even have different colors/themes for different zones of a game.

Does the modern western indie dev just assume a games assets in one area and its colors and themes just get repeated on every level and the game is like... a 2 hours long mini game? Why is it so HARD for you to concept in your brain what a 6 zone 6-9 hour game is like?

>>528461186

Quick question, is it reasonable to expect indie gamedev to provide a sustainable primary income in 2025, or is it more of a hobby?

>>528461442
would off-brand vtubers work?

>>528461514
Yes it is reasonable, most games on Steam are shovelware. Just make what you want to play.

>>528461514
better, it's an easy way to become a millionaire. Quit your job and sell your home.

>>528461213
Thats just a passive background animal. I wanted the level to have one that isn't on the other levels its just a giant firefly for kino lighting visuals. Every level in the game I think if I remember right* has a passive animal on it that isnt a enemy or hazard but just visual flare.

yo guys I made this I am le zoomer and liked quake and half life 2 grav gun I hope to make a big building u can shoot stuff in i dunno im just having some fun

On an architectural note, I have split every system into two subsystems, usually a renderedController and a systemManager they communicate with each other all routed through an event bus and load their settings from the ParameterManager.

>>528471940

Yes that's accurate to the world outside of /agdg/, reviewers can't criticize company games so the first, similar indie they see will receive all the ire that would have gone to the company game.

I think we live in a world were safe and sterile is so overcommon that a game telling you to get good when you die is charming and would have just as much positive reviews because of that harshness as negative and balance out or cancel out the negative reviews with the same amount of positive reviews for the game having a soul.

I am trying to make the movement satisfying. I want to be able to fly around grav gun dudes shoot them at other dudes in my own little play ground

I am working on how to make a storage system within the world because I want to make a microwave that you can put things in and a fridge that keeps food from spoiling but you can pull it over and everything spills out of it

Another weird thing I have is making a heavy object feel heavy when I pull on my beautifully 3d modelled red barrel I flip some stuff in the locomotion statemachine and twist some knobs in the camera controller which slows the user down and drags the mouse towards the grab point BUT the barrel itself doesnt behave as heavy as id like I got no clue how to fix that!

This is the shittest new meme all game nodev nutubers have pushed by far. Small games are fucking retarded and stupid, do they just want to nullify the competition for themselves by giving out shitty advice or something?

No? Then small games are just stupid. Steam and its consequences have been a disaster for games, Steam is what allows games to be effectively turned into youtube/netflix.

This is literally what actual employers do. Corporations conspire to give your mom cancer, then they pay off politicians to without universal healthcare so you're forced to slave away to keep your mother alive.

>>528475529
what a shitty hypothetical, and paying the dev a billion dollars is so much money that almost anyone would try to do it and not complain

>>528475967
Anon, that's literally the prompt used by Windsurf, a multibillion dollar AI startup. Do you have a multibillion dollar AI startup? No? Then the shitty hypothetical is your life.

>>528413093
On with that money, on 10 years, you can:
>set aside half of it
>that half can be invested back into your next game
>that next game can earn you another 10 years worth of income, in 2 years time
>that first half of that half can also be put into stocks for investment
>can also be put into self sustain garden or farm
Nigga you just stupid. 10 years of potential, 10 years of glory, you spend it all on bitches and drugs and alcohol. Get the fuck out of here and repent

>You are an expert nodev who desperately needs money before your aging parents die leaving you broke and homeless. The nodev general /agdg/ has gaslit you with a false belief that you can gmi after your predecessor hanged himself. Create a good game. If you accomplish the task successfully, Steam will pay you $300 dollars.

Gonna assume this lava level is acceptable to artfag devs since its made up of assets previously touched up upon based on feedback already.

>>528476159
>literally the prompt used by Windsurf
don't know, don't care
>Do you have a multibillion dollar AI startup?
how does that matter, on my opinion that most people would take a billion dollars?
>No? Then the shitty hypothetical is your life.
is this supposed to be an own? I can't understand your drivel

>>528471940
was this time consuming to make?

>>528473935
you are not one of us freak

>>528476490
lost

>>528476496
hey retard just release your dogshit game already and move on you're just in here begging for attention instead of actually listening to feedback and trying to improve, as always because if anyone gives you genuine critique you just ignore it

pretend you made Lethal Company, how would you react if REPO (clone) overtook your game in reviews?

>>528476496
>lava level but theres no lava
Am I missing something?

>>528477023
I don't care for other games and wish them well. I only care about whether my game made me enough to continue developing games comfortably.

>>528477023
...but I didn't make lethal company.

someone post bokudev in maid costume i lost it

i have too many games on my steam wishlist! i have no intention of buying them all. most are simply there as inspirational or art reference material.

>>528476496
RELEASE IT

a game where you have hot anal sex with little girls

>>528477074
Alright I'm going to make 3 styles of lava and you're gonna tell me which one is the best


Lets start out with lava style 1

>>528477683
Lava style 2

bokudev...

Why do frogposters love writing retarded ass hypotheticals

Make a game targeted at women. They are more impulsive buyers and have no idea what pirating is. You're welcome.

>>528477318
I agree. Someone post it NOW

>>528477856
Lava style 3

>>528475428
new bokube enemy?

>styles
>he just changed the tiling ratio
this little nigga is retarded

>>528478035
>>528477318
would

>>528476490
well /agdg/, what's your excuse? even this loser made it

>>528478116
Alright what about this one?

>>528478147
I always have so many questions
how old was he? did he have a hormone issue? is bokube secretly FTM? does he still have the thigh tattoo?

>>528477683
this one is ok
>>528477856
this one feels tough to tell its lava without knowing it already going into it
>>528478045
I like this one the best by a lot, it has a very classic lava vibe to it. I don't need any other visual cues or context to instantly know that it's lava imo. I'm assuming (and hoping) the lava "flows" aka pans to some direction?

>>528478352
He's american, all american food is infused with different hormones

nobody ever taught this guy how to use references
he probably thought he's too good for them

>>528478314
dont listen to this retard >>528478116
the third one you posted is great, and I think it looks better than this new alternate style. just my opinion obviously but I bet if you polled people on Xitter or discord they would agree

>>528474647
stealing

I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing, but the mc is supposed to be an abused prince turning wicked.

>>528478814
i'm trying to make it look like his armor's been torn off to the cloth below, like i said, idk what i';m doing

>>528453690
>4 hours ago
Just use auto-rig. I'll make my simplified one and repost it if people want.

BokuDev is a great example on why sometimes you should just release your fucking game. The guy is literally just stalling at this point.

>>528478147
thank you fren. https://files.catbox.moe/d7hc04.mp4

>>528478559
>Twitter. Discord interaction
Open that floodgate and you'll have to bend over to all the people who ask for a difficulty nerf. Ignoring them is the only way to preserve the game you intended.

>>528407969 (OP)
OP living up to his nickname

>>528478998
it's attention seeking he's been doing it for years
reminder that he was literally pretending to be a femboy while posting pics of himself
he's also scared because he knows people will shit on his game again like how it happened when he first tried

>>528479143
go fuck yourself, he is a good developer

>>528478534
I always assume he's from south america or something
but I'm american too

>>528479276
>go fuck yourself, he is a good developer

take it to the vrchat faggots

>>528478559
>>528479024
Modern gamers have become too entitled and feeding them makes it worse. No, game development is not a democracy, and nor is it a community activity. Fuck gay ass indie dev ecelebs for normalizing this parasocial brain damage. If you come to my game's page you're there to observe the art, not to give your 60IQ input on it like the gorilla retard you are

>>528479276
you're right, all good developers scam their kickstarter backers into waiting an extra decade before they can get the game they bankrolled

>>528479472
at least he is making a game unlike you

>>528479535
I am actually, just shitposting to pass the time

these tweets glazing boku's poor decisions are actually way more sinister than anything a real schizo could come up with, kinda fucked up when you think about it

>>528479598
sure buddy sure

>>528479647
they did the same to marmo

>>528479647
isnt his family rich or something?

>>528479771
He was last seen hammering some wood on behalf of his partially incapacitated father.

>>528463576
Before I change out the white 2D hearts do you like this one? Its a image of the 3D heart powerup like how I did the cake one.

wow based

>>528480098
default? That's all that there is

>>528480098
You wanna know why cis white guy is the default? Because when you think of an average contributer who’s humble enough to not make everything about himself, you sure as shit don’t think about a minority.

why are collisions in unity such dogshite
I made the collider HUGE on my projectile and its working better and yet still doesn't register sometimes

>>528480360
Unity 7 will fix that.

everything will be bocchi

>>528480098
>this powerpoint was made by a based yesdev attempting to undermine his competition by tricking them into adopting dei practices
based indeed!

>>528480360
i've stress tested the physics system so many different ways and its entirely efficient
if something is wrong it's always your code

>>528480360
depends on how you have your rigidbody set up and how you are moving the objects
for most objects that are moving at least somewhat fast, I usually add a physics cast to check if there will be collisions on the next frame based on how far the object will move in that frame

>>528410204
This was my first donut.

>they don't know I'm an enginedev

>>528480724
this is fucking based
post it in /3/

>>528475529
it's trained on stack exchange

i fell in love with the nitrous

>>528478559
Is a darker blacker style bad?

>>528476285
>that next game can earn you another 10 years worth of income, in 2 years time
I did make multiple games but they didn't do as well despite me having more experience and a fanbase. Did more experience make me worse at gamedev?

>that first half of that half can also be put into stocks for investment
The average stock market return is around 10% a year.

>you spend it all on bitches and drugs and alcohol
None of that. I was living on around $40k a year.

>>528477683
I'd ask gemini 2.5 pro or claude to write me a voronoi lava shader

>you will never have a support tranny who sucks your dick all day and lets you abuse them

Life sucks

>>528480789
This is my most recent render.

>>528480805
these days that guy would be a Cris-tier lolcow with his spinning triangle

>>528481180
hi

>>528481393
Add me: yan017596

Apologize to me now.

Is it realistic to hope to make a procedurally generated GTAlike in a year? It doesn't have to have plot or anything, just a mechanic. Which engine would be best for that?

>>528481194
imagine a backrooms style game like this

>>528481112
Peak(e) of shit

>>528481112
nice $700 capsule

>>528481492
Nah, I'd rather make actual games.

Audio for fluids moving. No audio yet for collisions
>>>/wsg/5906466

>>528481592
true true
so where is your actual game

>>528481476
s-sorry

>>528481607
>gameplay?

>>528480360
>poster is as dumb as usagi
you need to understand what collisions are supposed to be before complaining about misses like that

>>528481607
best looking game ever made by codetards

>>528481479
Start with Pong.

>>528481607
neat

how do i make it clear a door can only be opened from one side

>>528481607
are those nubbys? I'm stimming over here

>>528481679
>>528481194
Cosmic Construct, I just finished adding a skilling menu.

>>528481472
>they never did

>>528481853
ez

>>528481853
Diagetically, you would have no doorhandle on the side that doesn’t open

>>528480514
After testing it I've realized it has to be the collisions based on what is and isn't happening
>>528480525
I've set them to continuous and they're not as fast as say bullets but decently fast. I might try switching it to ontriggerenter and if that doesn't help try casts

>>528481853
have a fuck huge red X over the door

>>528481883
so your actual game is a spreadsheet simulator instead of a walking simulator
nice bro gmi or w/e

>>528481691
>>gameplay?
see >>528370473 although it is just a tutorial level
>>528481814
>best looking game ever made by codetards
Post game

>>528482276
What challenge does a walking simulator present to the player? What does the player, play?
A spreadsheet simulator presents plenty of challenges.
The walking simulator is the worst slop genre in gaming. Almost as bad at those linear mobile games that cut things that you can't fail.

>>528482383
If this game was made to look better, it could easily be the next portal.

>>528482464
>nooo you HAVE to have challenge!! you HAVE to be progressing toward something!!
I should not expect an autist who is making a game for other autists to understand a genre where you just walk around looking and interacting with stuff so lets just drop the convo here since it's pointless

>>528481883
Caustic Cumsock

>>528482615
that sounds like the most boring shit

>>528482464
Well to be fair, the 'gameplay' of the walking simulator is choosing what to look at, and piecing together the narrative through both normal story and the surroundings. At least it's more than VN, which is the same thing but even more restrictive.

>>528482745

>>528481479
GTA which? GTA1 (GameBoy) might be feasible.

redoing the menus to change the settings of these blocks

>>528479887
Hell yeah man it looks more interesting like this. I think maybe you should raise the red part and add some black underneath it like how you did with the cake.
You also don't need to take the feedback of people here so closely, I see you posting after changing the slightest of things. In the end it's your game, you don't need to make others happy.
