Trap.
You won't have the skills to make it good later unless you put effort in. Doodling won't give you the skills you need, there needs to be blood sweat and tears so you can get better.
>Make thing now
>it sucks, but you learned because you tried
>eventually you can come back and redo it
the biggest problem is that if you spend all your time redoing old shit you won't release a game. It may be better just to start a new game entirely.

>>528617985

That's true. It's sad to think about but the dumbest a criminal is the more likely they are to be caught by police. Probably why prison populations have a lower IQ than the average population.
Meanwhile, the more competent criminals continue to live among us.
I hope you can find help for your problem.

Is there a diegetic way to have a "go back" user interface element? Like if the player has opened a book and they want to exit viewing it. Mimicking a closing action might not be obvious.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2S64h6Eg9g

would you add an eastern egg like this in your game? tranime pedo dont reply (you're unfunny, i dont care that youre a pedo there are millions of you in asia)

>>528617985
True for most things. Game art and polish/juice are the exceptions. Prototype your game with capsules and greyboxed levels. Make sure the core systems function and are compelling before you spend time and effort putting art and juice on it. You should go through at least a couple ugly prototypes before you touch game art (unless you're very lucky and things just work).
"Make it exist first" DOES apply to concept art. You should be gathering references and making lots of quick ugly thumbnails to concept your game ASAP. At least that's how I prototype the art and UI and pretty much anything visual/spacial I'm unsure of.

>>528618848
>Meanwhile, the more competent criminals continue to live among us.
On the bright side, if you are nice to your cunny wife, you are less likely to be reported to the police, meaning it incentivizes pedos to treat their partner with kindness.
>>528619214
What the fuck? Israel doesn't allow cunny. India would be your best bet, but you know, then you'd have to live among Indians, which may be a fate worse than celibacy.

>>528619131
Do you really want to go that route?
Because natural law means that people are free to kill you. Most of the population already rightfully hates pedophiles.
If anything, law is protecting you because you can't just assault/murder people with no repercussions.
Perhaps you are not as intelligent as you think.

>>528619304
How it's going.
Between the two videos, about 10 months passed. I dropped and picked it up again several times.
But now I have a clear vision of what I want and hopefully it will get finished.

>>528619372
>Because natural law means that people are free to kill you. Most of the population already rightfully hates pedophiles.
If you completely remove all laws, what do you think the average normie is more likely to do:
1. Start hunting down pedophiles and criminals out of their sense of justice.
2. Start committing crimes themselves.

Pedophilia wasn't percieved as a real problem until very recently.
Under natural law, no one would give a fuck about anyone fucking children, let alone murder a stranger for fucking a random child.

It is much more likely that the tribe the pedophile belongs to kills the low-inhibition control vigilante who thinks it makes sense to project his own morals onto other people to the point of wanting to kill someone over it.

For touchscreens, all you need is a modal element (i.e. a full-screen button that tints or blurs the rest of the screen under it, with the rest of your menu overlaid on top).

Otherwise, if you want it to be a button, something that looks like a hamburger is most clearly understood nowadays.

Im trying to use ahk to write a script that holds shift, and every time I press f1, it clicks on a couple places on the screen, without ever letting go of shift. And I can just keep pressing f1 to keep doing the same thing over and over. How would I go about writing this? I can get it to hold shift, and I can also get it to click where I want. But not both at the same time.

>>528630428
cris i already explained you that no that's an unreliable hadith from baghdadi shias (a minority) when they tried to make aisha into a virgin mary-like character via numerous hadiths (since the virgin mary was married to joseph as a child) because he's responsible for splitting islam in 2, the west doesn't need pedophilia washing the age of consent was in single digits just a century or two ago and numerous european princes and princesses got married when they were kids because it was normal then
a pedophile likes children and doesn't get married to milfs (plural), jews lying and hating prophets is literally nothing new they have a long history of doing just that (they believe that jesus is burning in poop btw)

>>528631456
I've had the same one for like 9 years. I didn't even know there were extra hidden pen nibs if you open the panel on the tablet so i didn't replace the nib until like 6 or 7 years in when it was completely sanded down from repeated use

>>528631385
ok cris, legitimising pedos by comparing it to the west of 200 years ago is a weird flex.
Fact is that most Muslims believe that unreliable hadith (and wouldn't dare criticise it the way you have) and still the practice of paedophilia is embedded within them.

jewish and muslim lies (Taqiyya) are one and the same thing.

Progress: Went through 500 lines of notes ("tickets") to see what is still relevant. 500 more lines to go.

>>528632175
You need a tablet for 3d too unless you just make ugly stuff

>>528632374
hahahahah atleast it saw use

>>528631925
When I bought my tablet, I didn't use it for a few of months but once I got into it it's stayed on my desk between mouse and keyboard for years.

>>528632103
I don't really do 3D so I don't know.
The main debate is about tablet size and screen/noscreen.
I prefer tablets without a screen but they take a little longer to get used to. The actual size of the tablet doesn't matter much, I find.

>>528632175

>>528632510
Nah, the whole reason I bought a tablet was for 3D and I never use it I can just use my mouse.

>>528632175
3d game. but I am a 2d artist primarily, I just wanted to explore my 2d worlds in 3d

>>528632449
no one cared about that unreliable hadith before neocons started their jewish anti-prophet smear campaign post 9/11 to make the mass murder more palatable to the average npc, in fact that specific hadith doesn't even exist in the maliki school which is the baseline sunni school, jews lie about prophets all the time they're evil like that
taqiyya is also a shia concept and it's more like "pretending not to be muslim" and being able to drink alcohol, etc in a non-muslim country as long as you have internal faith, you have no idea what you're talking about retarded troon

>>528632668

>The main debate is about tablet size and screen/noscreen.
Id like a screen? I actually have no idea really but that seems innutive for me atleast, ive had one without it and it is weird

I use my mouse and don't have issues.

>>528632924
I don't paint and don't need to draw either for my 3D.

>>528632937
can i see?

>>528632924
When you have a screen it means you're often looking downwards in an awkward, uncomfortable posture. There are some fancy super expensive desk tablets that corporations/studios usually use to avoid the posture problems, though.
You also have your hand over the thing you're drawing on. Not usually a big dea.

I'd say using a screenless tablet is more like using a mouse since you move the mouse without looking at the mouse, you form a connection between the hand movements and screen movements.

>I was about to make it
>ww4 ensues
Fuck

>>528633098
oh shit I didnt think about that, I was considering buying an architects drawing desk thingy since I lack the skill to draw straight lines I used them todo engineering drawings while in uni

I am guessing a big screenless tablet would simpler then after getting around the hand eye coordination

Progress: finalising the last playable stage area for the dd. Next, I shall focus on creating bullet patterns for the Stage 1 bosses.

>>528633390
It's cheaper to get screenless but it still comes down to a matter of preferences.

Also worth noting that I've been using my tablet for 4 years and I've had zero problems with it. It's durable, I don't know if screenless tablets are more or less of a problem in that regard.

>>528633070
I'm trying to think of an example and I need to take a shit real quick so give me a second. What would you like to see?

>>528632854
again unable to provide a proper defence without deflecting and attacking jews and calling me a transsexual for some reason. You are trying to defend the indefensible.

the religion of the illiterate (can't refute this), slave owning (can't refute this), pedo (can't refute this), law breaking (can't refute this), prophet who enjoys sloppy seconds has spread to every corner of the world. And people have seem they are incompatible with every other culture.

Yes that's correct. It does not attempt to be realistic with its shadows, but rather gives flavor and guidance with them. For example with flying enemies you will see shadows on vertical axis on top of the screen, even before you see the actual enemy. The player shadow just feels good when It's centered how it is.

that looks good but I think using a tablet allows you to get more detailed sculpting and texturing that you can't get with a mouse without much more work. but I think it's mainly if you're doing a pbr workflow and trying to get something similar to modern graphics. for more retro styles I guess it works fine with mouse

again, unable to defend your brown prophet. keep the attention off the flaws of your false prophet by attacking others and lying (taqiyya).

The desert is relevant, its to keep the followers of your false prophet. And this is the source of muslim rage, your god promised you the holy land but yet muslim controlled countries are slums. Why would your god lie to you, raise you in filth? How can other religions be so wrong? but their countries so glorious?

I think games need to be a little janky. Facts. That's what makes games memorable, do you remember Heavy Rain for the plot twist or for the SHAAAAAUN glitch?

>>528637262
Fun jank can only happen when you have some kind of system running in the background (i.e. physics).
It can't happen if you hardcode most of the stuff (simple 2D games, like Undertale or Balatro) or just use an engine's existing systems (Unity, etc.) cause they're polished over many years, and also sanitized so that if anything goes wrong the game just crashes quickly and devs spot that during testing.

Basically you need to either be an enginedev (Heavy Rain was made in a custom engine), or have your game be complex enough to require building your own systems that Unity doesn't provide inside it, which doesn't apply to most indie games since they're small.

tldw:
Hytale was trying to be Minecraft but better, but that logic doesn't work nowadays, unless you have infinite scope. Games past 2010 were easy to work this way because the technological improvements were much bigger than we have nowadays.
He canceled his RTS game for the same scope problem.
The only way to succeed is to make a game that can be played in parallel with other big titles, such as Minecraft, you can't beat them because they are still actively updated.

Time to sell some shovels.

I sometimes see this thread when browsing this board and start thinking about how I used to want to make my own game
Then I remember that I have no ideas or the skills necessary to make one so I stop thinking about it

are we pro AI or anti AI?

>>528641669
Just start developing the skills.

>>528641768

>>528640526
Aindians will kill it on arrival

>>528617584 (OP)
Lied again and had another "OC art planning" phase.
One big thing I did was a design of Clarity that won't be used until a Greklovick specific project.
Wanted to do more with her as a robot girl, even if some traits were copied from other characters.
I've also been reorganizing some shit like texts and image folders related to Nortubel and stuff.

>>528641768
Pro AI but it has to be quality

The Legend of Zelda.

How can we cope with Nortubel getting better at art while we wasted our time saying how bad it was instead of improving our art?

>>528639672
How so? Okay, I am curious, enlighten me.

>>528639818
Aye, I only use it for very quick prototyping, if at all and change it to proper var references once everything works.

>>528641818
I tried to honestly. I've tried to learn drawing for years but anytime I've seen any form of improvement it either got squandered by irl reasons, mental problems, or mental problems caused by irl reasons.
As for coding, I geniuniely can't make heads nor tails of it. Seriously, had to take basic bitch python classes at uni and I passed one of those by I think the instructor taking pity on me, and I failed the other one 2nd time now
maybe I'll take a crack at it this summer but probably not

>>528642496
My art is fine and still improving still so it's not an issue. Nortubel is like 15 and mentally ill so it's even more irrelevant when you know they are on the short life list most likely.

>>528642567
So you're just a pathetic loser? Lol

>>528639818
>>528642519
I assume this is about directly asking whether an object is visible.
This is instead of having a variable and, every single time I set an object to visible or not, changing that variable to equal the visibility of that object. That's unwieldly and clunky.

Even if that object is not used (has no texture) there's no harm in using it as a boolean, which is what I do in this case. Sometimes the object has no texture but it's visible to represent that it should function as if it is visible. It's both the physical active property and a boolean at the same time which keeps things neat.

I dont wanna take a shower and go get groceries, i want to keep devving

Quick question, like roughly how many games come out each day?
Let's say just on Steam

it shouldnt take me 2 months to crank out a single level of my game, but i am a solo NEET dev with depression and self esteem issues

>>528643351
Yeah, then that's what I'm describing.

It could use 10 times the resource usage of simply referring to a boolean within the same script and it'd still be worth doing, because 10 times almost nothing is still almost nothing.

>needing levels
you should design a game to not need levels at all, if they take so long

>>528643203
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFRagP6dTCU
this nigga made tracer from scratch with a mouse

>>528617584 (OP)
Finally, I believe I recharged enough to continue with the level design. I've been sitting and creating sprites without a real goal as I wasn't sure how to properly draw interesting buildings. I really need to have coherent looking assets to plan how to make them work. I'm pretty scared anyway as it's difficult to make a city level that is both interesting to traverse and grounded in reality. Most platform games, and even 3D action games, tend to just place everything whatever with illogical platforms, bottomless traps and confusing layout just to make it hard for the player. Now realistic city will leave us without challenges and ultimately boring. It might be the biggest problem that I'll spend the most time.

>>528643805
40-50

we live in a benighted age

Good morning.

>>528643969
3d platformers need levels, as far as i am aware, unfortunately

>>528642848
Ah, it was more about using the green $references which refer to the direct path in your node tree. Those can screw you over if you decide to modify your node tree, since the path to the node is no longer valid. Then you have to rewrite all the $references, which, depending on the size of your script, can be quite a time consuming enterprise. In most cases it is more practical to use var references like for instance

>@onready var bulge: Node3D = $positionnode/legleft/pants/bulge

at the beginning of your script. This is more efficient and also saves performance, if I am not mistaken. So instead of the whole nodepath, you only use "bulge", to reference to it. If you now need to change something in your bulge node structure, you just need to change the path in your var reference at the beginning of your script, instead of changing every line with the $reference in it.

>>528644040
Yeah I don't see the point of a tablet making that easier at all. It looks exactly like my workflow. The brush is doing all the work.

>>528644397
Fair enough
I find it easy enough to handle it by searching for all references to the nodepath, because the nodepath has an absolute name that's really easy to search and replace.
I've never liked onready for the fact it can break if anything happens before ready is finished

Often I'll have a local variable for the path of an object I'm fetching from an other script just to keep things tidy but that's a bit different

>>528644397
They'll figure it out eventually when they end up rewriting a long ass script and feel stupid as hell lmao. I'm not even a programmer I'm an artist for our project but I still know enough code to do things when I need to for objects I'm working with and even I know to type "@onready var " " = 'whatever I shift drag over' at the beginning of my scripts.

>"Marketing doesn't actually wor- ACK"
You were saying, chuddies?

>>528644454
it's really bad for your hands having to click that many times

>>528644619
How is onready gonna break before ready is finished? It runs first.

>>528644774
I can't remember since it's been years but it's likely in case any other script refers to the variable, because of how the order of things works.
It could also be that the onready wants to refer to something that's only properly defined after ready, or in another script that hasn't readied yet.

>>528644659
how, where, how much?

>>528644941
So you're doing it wrong on a hypothetical of a hypothetical?

>>528644659
i dont get it, if your game is appealing enough to the point where marketing can have this big of an effect, why does it get zero traction on steam organically?

>>528645047
I'm doing it wrong in the same way that I'm wrong when I don't touch the metal of a frying pan on the hob because I've been burned before.

>>528645058
Well, basically, Steam doesn't owe you anything. There is no shortage of incredibly excellent games to showcase, and only a microscopically limited number of slots to show users.

Showing any of these excellent professional games will almost always result in sales at a much higher rate than any game that a solo or true indie developer can make.

There are supposedly some theories on gaming the algorithm, but I certainly don't know the forbidden arts.

>>528644659
how did you make line go up?

>>528644619
Onready can break? Darn I have hundreds of these and it never occurred to me. Depends on your code structure I assume. But hey, as long as it works...

>>528644651
When all spaghetti comes crashing down on someone, they might rethink some coding decisions for sure.

>>528645152
That analogy doesn't make any sense. Man, people here really are fucking retards.

>>528640526
>this is the beginning of the end for godot
Enshitification has been going for a year

>>528645526
The code is built on a structure that was made when I was new to coding so the way that some of the scripts interact up/down might not be best practices but I'm working with what I've got.

>>528645589
Time to explain the analogy
>"I've been burned before"
>therefore I avoid something that's dangerous
>the thing might not actually be dangerous
>I might not know why it's dangerous or I may have forgotten
>all I know is that if I think about touching it, my brain reminds me that it's connected to bad memories
I could come up with a better analogy since it's kinda obvious why touching a hot thing would sometimes burn you, but I'm working right now

can godot be salvaged?

>>528644659
So you waited 4 months to do marketing?

>>528644059
you can keep it flat by having crossroads where you can change by going up or down (in or out) but that can also get really confusing

>>528645827
Anon you figure out why it was a bad analogy trying to defend it lmfao. Instead of being a retard why don't you just spend 5 seconds reading the documentation? It's literally just shorthand for adding the variable to the ready function to be executed first. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/gdscript/gdscript_basics.html#onready-annotation

>>528645827
Or you can think about how you can avoid such a situation next time. Our mistakes can be our greatest teachers after all.

>>528646419
>why don't you research it
because I'm working on my game, anon

by the sounds of it, maybe I just don't use onready because I'd rather call it within ready so that I know exactly when it's being processed and so I can give it a default value to use in case anything grabs it before it's ready, so that it doesn't just return null

>>528645338
This will get ignored by all the soft faggots on here unwilling to accept reality, but you are right.

Wait til you learn what refactoring is...or just continue being dense.

>>528646761
I've refactored a lot
but shipping the game matters a lot more than redoing the entirety of the codebase from the ground-up, that's how many devs end up never releasing

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>528645475
I'm almost sure I can figure out which dev you are but it will take too long so I won't bother

>>528646759
such an extreme blackpill. 1k+ wishlists in a single day and then immediately steam decided, nah, actually we'd rather show asset flip simulator #9999 that no one wants instead

meanwhile people in these threads deep throat valve until their eyes bleed

>>528647179
Well, I've gotta take a short break from working now so I can take a look.

>Which would include reading documentation.
Nah. I rarely touch the godot docs anymore since I know everything I need.
Chances are at this point I've already tried all of the alternatives and found it's not suitable in some way. Sometimes I'll come back to it to try it out and it might be applicable but usually it isn't.
The biggest example of this is setget which I find is generally very awkward and I just wire my own functions instead of having a setget reroute it but I did eventually use a couple for a map editor.
>That's exactly what @onready does...
So, for starters, I don't know if @onready is any different to onready, because I don't have access to @onready.
My onready does the following:
>onready
>Initializes a variable once the Node the script is attached to and its children are part of the scene tree.
Until absolutely everything is ready, it just returns null crashes. That's awful for me and it's very hard to visualize because I have functions that take place both before and after ready. It just doesn't work well with the chain of functions I have in my head.

Meanwhile
>@onready()
>Mark the following property as assigned when the Node is ready. Values for these properties are not assigned immediately when the node is initialized (Object._init()), and instead are computed and stored right before Node._ready().
so, I don't use @onready because my engine doesn't have it.

>>528647291
Yeah, except for the 99.9% of times that they don't. Lol. How do you reconcile a game being good enough to get 1500 wishlists in a SINGLE FUCKING DAY, and then steam never showing it to another person ever again? You absolute retarded mongrel

The /agdg/ rat race is not worth the squeeze. It's not the best game that wins at the end of the day, it's the most marketed. It's counterintuitive but the more time and attention you spend on development the less time you have for marketing and vice versa. This means that the most lazy and low-quality games will be getting the most exposure and therefore doing bigger numbers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpyOFNaqbDI

>>528648429
ignore him lol, he's ignorant and delusional
even good games absolutely require promotion on external platforms to receive adequate exposure
i think he assumes 50 reviews with zero marketing is sufficient, when in reality, a game good enough to gain 50 reviews with zero promotion would hit 5,000 reviews with a few youtube videos
it's an incredibly lazy and immature mindset to have, but i'm sure he'll learn the hard way when he eventually releases his game

The fuck are you even on about are you using godot or not?

You absolutely can type "@onready var 'whatever' = $node" at the beginning of your script. It'll execute before the ready() function and instead of typing you convuluted shit like you did in >>528618278/

For example if you did it with "$positionnode/dickback" your code could just read "dickback.visible = false"

>>528635787
Yes. The base export can be decompiled with a free tool. If you add encryption in a template you can make it a bit more difficult for literal 12 year olds to decomp it. The next step is to make your own templates and hide the encryption key better. The best way to protect your code though is to make a huge spagetti mess so that nobody wants to reskin it.

I just want to point out that discord troons like this guy are complete frauds. He has 14K followers and does marketing posts constantly and yet his game is doing about as well as mine which I'm not even bothering to market. These people are weak, and they're diluting the hobby. their "games" exist only to be content slop fodder designed to be thrown away after you wipe your ass with it.

2 literal TRANNY freaks from germany made troonalis, a game that stole everything from some jap mangaka who made blame! and because the vile TROONS stole everything his aesthetic became associated with troonalis and brought a lot of troons to ideas like megastructures 4 years ago and now they're making troon games/art about it
same thing happened to psx style btw

>>528652019
regardless, there are numerous places for gamedevs in sweden, anons should try visiting
there's one in malmo where you can just get a space for free to hang out and work in, for example, then more elsewhere through the country that have varying levels of accomodation

recently a place like that opened up near where I am but it's really just for university students which is a shame, I could go but it's too much travel for an experience where I'd probably just be working around some undergrad nodevs

>>528653737
This looks so artificial and fabricated. It's like you looked at 30 wacky games from the last 4 years and copied all their homework. Congratulations, you managed to come across as corporate and stale in a game that you made all alone

Do you guys ever think about how wild it is that humans can move in a lot of different ways dynamically but we're still stuck playing back recorded animations with a bit of IK on top? Like why isn't there more effort to simulate skeletal movement based on weight, limb length, current ground normal, posture, etc

CRPG can have tactics elements to its combat, but tactics games tend to have much less of the "RPG" aspect.
Importantly, things like Choice & Consequence, reactivity (to your character's background, their choices, things you've made happen in the world, etc), deeper character building and interactivity between characters (yours and NPCs, your companions with each other, etc)
Often multiple distinct outcomes for different approaches to situations.

With respect specifically to tactics, I think you could imagine a kind of axis with tactics on one end, CRPG in the middle, and VN/point-and-click on the other end.

>>528654454
This game is better than 99% of /agdg/ games. If you're really the dev then I'm sorry it had to happen like this. You're one of the few of us with any integrity and soul. You will be vindicated eventually. The curve of history is long but it bends towards passion.

Sure but verticality is still the main exploration force in 2D side-view games. I believe it still can work with a city built in a cliffside, with homes on different levels, winding roads going gradually down and passages going into the rocks structure. With a city like that I can have verticality, myriad secrets and all possibilities of exploration, and with in-lore explanation about people trying to live in the city with limited space I can also have freedom in designing weird, confusing paths between houses. Here's an hearly concept, with middle of the city being on a plateau and layers of buildings going down the cliffs on the side

friendly reminder that directx 11 is deprecated and only exists for legacy purposes - it should not be used for new projects

i wish i was on a small indie dev team instead of being completely alone in my struggles

>>528666573
The program I use for laying out a lot of megadungeons can actually export to some 3D formats too.

It's called Grid Cartographer 4, though I also heavily use pen and paper as well. I think 3D could be really cool, especially for what you're mentioning, I just worry about dev time and workflow since I have literally zero 3D experience. I was looking at RPG maker because I could probably very quickly develop stuff and just focus on gameplay and the dungeon design over worrying too much about graphics and presentation.

>>528667240
What skills can you bring to the table in a small dev team?

Dear P.L. / L.G.
I'm getting rid of my ambient music collection. I don't have your contact info anymore so I can't ask if you want it, but I remember you liking ambient music when we still spoke. It's about 100 CDs and 30 vinyl records, and a handful of tapes. I don't know anyone else nearby who might want it, so if you don't want it I'm probably gonna trash it all or drop it off at goodwill.

Anon, DX12 is over 10 years old. All hardware you can reasonably expect to encounter will support it. It's a superset of DX11. There's no reason to use older versions of DX at this point.

>>528667756
Yeah, I was just going to do first person turn based and dialogue options for most stuff. Decision making is a huge part of dungeon crawling. I'm not really interested in mirroring games like Zelda or dark souls, or integrating nested interaction systems like BG3 or Divinity 2, or trying to mimic older games like BG1-2 and Icewind Dale. It's hard to describe what I'm envisioning but it's essentially resource based JRPG combat with a lot of exploration focused systems that have to do with prep and discovery.

The important part is spending time with his loved one, the movie is secondary and could've been anything. Have you never had a girlfriend?

>>528669118
What about it is difficult? The most annoying thing I've experienced in RPG maker is the number scaling on stuff. Whacky hundreds of HP and the way the stat system works is kind of clunky. I've also been looking at Godot but I'm not sure how difficult the stuff I want to do is.

What do you think is the best option for having ChatGTP help me not be a retard. I don't want to use Unity because I hate the workflow and I feel like I'll have to bend over backwards to make it function on a basic level for what I want.

The most important thing is retaining that visual style
I would model out everything, animate them in 3d and render them down to sprite sheets to use as billboards in engine
Like how Daggerfall does it

Once you've got that visual style down I think you can just copy a lot of the gameplay elements from shit like Grimrock.

basically vibe coding with godot.

>>528675092
you post for about 2 days about how your new workflow is going to make your KoF porn game done in 2 weeks then right after that you'll drop that and move onto the next miracle cure? im guessing that

>kakatsu 2
I don't know what that is, but I'll take it as a complement.

because there's a bunch of shit I did not know how to make that my first engine can't do or likely has subpar solutions.

everybody hates me and my game

>>528675851
good

yeah model looks great but the colour makes it look like a pink missing texture colour and the 3d noise you put over it doesn't look the best

when you have the time i would try and draw on details just simply stroke some colours darker than others to add a shading or have the cheeks be a lighter colour

anyone have any newfag tutorials for libgdx?

Is Osur the most retarded person on the planet? Does he seriously think the reason he had 17k wishlists is somehow owed to his followers on twitter a lot of which are other game developers? He can't be that stupid right. Does he really think the reason he reached a milestone that most games on steam never reach is because his followers on twitter specifically pulled their weight and put him there when it was his publisher desperately shilling the game and botting the wishlists for months

this is why I hate them. This is so insincere and tonedeaf.

I was trying to make it look like fur for a more stuffed animal look. I'll see what I can improve tomorrow.

Any tutorials on dealing with fame and money once you make it?

A game where you fulfill the sick and twisted fantasy of protecting a little girl.

Literally no one was talking about him or them, and you randomly bring up a tweet from 3 months ago.
I don't like the discord because they shit the thread up, but you're also doing the same by bringing them up unspecified. Basically, don't care didn't ask.
