Will (You) be submitting to DD63?
Will your demo be ready?
What games are (You) looking forward to playtesting

>>528774135
Yes.

>>528774135
probably not I am trying to make it fun but I am already bored with it.

Is it more embarassing to make a porn game or fotm gambleslop "game"?

>>528774398
maybe you should add some GAMEPLAY

>>528774502
I am trying to make it the player is constantly forced to move forwards from threat of drowning from the falling water, similar to lava survival on really old minecraft alpha. but the novelty of that wears out quickly.

Are you really gonna be playing games on a Holiday? The 5th is fine, but definitely not that 4th.

its like admitting youre only capable of slop, but also that you think youre too good to be called slop

I will never understand people worrying about DD. Fake ass deadlines for no reason to present a pointless portion of your game to losers on 4chan who suck at game dev.

To me it has the same energy as the clips I see on instagram of people in vr chat freaking out in weird lounges crying about phantom pain and shit. Bunch of losers lmfao.

>>528774456
>>528774664
Might think about playing Velgress in UFO 50 for inspiration about a "climb up" game.

>>528775007
damn thats craazy

i'm sticking to multiplayer games

>>528775007
Well first, multiple games here have made over 100k. Some much more.

2nd, who gives a fuck what you think. We aren't your mom, we don't need your random thoughts.

>>528775007
wtf is DD? Demo Days? I would never put my game anywhere near 4chan or those big announcement like PCGamer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pJO8CRkSnw
Mark is 100% right here, low production value is the biggest threat to your game. Most normies are sheep, they will not play any indie game unless their favorite strimer plays it. A game being 2D is enough to filter normies.

Tragic.

>>528775328
Whoa 100k! That must be a lot of money to someone who's poor. Also why would my mom get my random thoughts she doesn't even live near me. I tell my random thoughts to my GF anon. Also, there's nothing random about my post it's on topic to what everyone is currently yapping about. Of course if you weren't an autistic zoomer with no reading comprehension you'd understand that.

uh oh meltie

geez i wonder who could be behind those posts

>>528776225
Anon I've been against DD the entire time I've posted here and I'm not a nodev at all

>testing lighting to bake lights

I'm going to see a specialist today about my pain, please wish me luck anons. I really want things to change, I don't want to be a bitter man who can't work or do anything anymore.

>>528775864
> Spit it out in a sentence
If your game has "high" production value, the tone of the reception changes. But the reverse is more damaging. If your game has a low production value, a design decision like few checkpoints will be criticized as "lack of checkpoints". If your game has good production value, the same design decision of fewer checkpoints will be celebrated as "bold/challenging pushes player to improve himself".

>>528775007
>I will never understand people worrying about DD. Fake ass deadlines for no reason to present a pointless portion of your game to losers on 4chan who suck at game dev.

Shut the fuck up you nobody. Mr I don't care about anything and nothing impresses me. I don't need you to care, but I don't care about your basic bitch thoughts either. Fuck yourself.

>tomboy
What kind of tomboy? Do you have any video game or anime character references I can use to get an understanding of her behavior and body language?

>>528776483
Interesting, thanks anon. Seems to make sense that the more enjoyable it is to just be in the world (high production value) the more forgiving you are. I think this holds across other examples too. It's important to charm the player -- good mystery, or humor, or art, or characters, etc. -- right at the start of the game. It buys lots of good will with players. It's why good games can get away with being just a few hours as well sometimes.

>>528777312
I'm not, just regular white.

I should be ready for demo day

>>528777238
>Uses a lower case W in White
Nice try, but your high Brahmin verbal IQ doesn't translate to the written word.

DD is sovl because every general that generates OC has some internal event about it. Getting rid of DD is getting rid of the sovl 4chan generals have, at this point just go to reddit and enjoy the endless barrage of stealth marketing posts

>>528778223
You are fighting imaginary ghosts anon.

>>528778223
Sorry to blow your mind, it's not that deep

>>528778475
is that your testicle inside your pantsu?

>>528778291
DD isn't soul, progress is.

>>528778665
Nah it's my ankle, I wanted to be scandalous

>>528778668
>progress
No one cares about this, it's not sovl. How many games have progressed and they're now forgotten? An endless amount

>>528778901
Who cares if they're forgotten. Young people worry about the dumbest shit.

>>528779121
If you're only making games to "post progress" then you're acting like a fucking AI

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.

I make the game I want to play because it doesn't exist. Beyond that nothing else matters about anything. As far as 4chan goes and the initial discussion of this branch of replies starting here >>528778291 DD means nothing when it comes to soul but being able to backup your replies to idiots here with progress showing you're not a nodev is. I don't care about anything as long as you're improving yourself and meeting goals. If you're stagnant, empty, or worrying about dumb shit like DD that's not soul it's pandering for attention because you're probably lonely and young.

Does anyone know how hard it is to get a Gamepass deal with Microsoft? I know it's selective but like.. HOW selective? Will only the top of the top indie games get it, or can a good looking game with 20,000 wishlists on Steam have a chance?

learning Zbrush, we'll see how soon I can actually get a real, workable, model working.

>>528780083

people like this probably write their reviews in mayo

Would a Western shooter be cooler with sci-fi and fantasy shit like werewolves?
Westerns are kino but the enemy variety would be pretty weak considering everyone uses guns and at best rides a horse

>>528778668
Playable demos are the only real progress in game development. "Progress" as in posting staged screenshots for internet points does nothing to actually make real progress on the game.

>>528776483
You just described halo effect

My game has a 99.8% hatred rate.

>>528781827
That 0.2%?
Me.

>>528781537
How exactly is one staging a screenshot? Also webms are the best progress. There's no reason to worry about letting other devs touch your pre alpha game lmao. By the time you hit alpha or beta you're gonna be doing EA or something else anyway and there will be a full time demo from then on. DD is pointless.

>>528782135
This >>528781537
Games are meant to be played

>>528781537
Funny that you mentioned it. I took some staged "screenshots" for pr purposes today.

Working with the actual game and making proper progress is pure bliss. Marketing and pr stuff devours me from the inside.

how do i get good at character design?

Thomas is working on a game called Age of Rot. No idea what that is.

I am dropping every single project, idea and prejudice I have and starting this over again, completely from zero.

>>528783702
I have a similar facial shape. Way more beard, more hair, and a bit more kilos though.

Thanks for reading my internal thoughts

Must be nice being a millionaire from the early 10s indie boom

I'm honestly gonna spend the entire day watching videos of card games, board games and rpgs.

I just realized my issues stem from not playing much more than 2D fighters.

HOLY SHIT I HATE THIS

i do not understand unwrapping

i can't dev in this heat so i'm going to shitpost instead

>>528784279

imagine an onion

>>528784218
in their defense there was much less educational content readily available on the internet, and the market wasn't established yet so it was a much riskier pursuit if you did it for money
it was basically CS grads making games for fun accidentally discovering the potential of the steam platform

>>528784557
HAHAHAHAHAH thank you so much I get it anon I was just spam clicking unwarp, didnt even know you move things around in the uv-editor

>>528784895
lmao been there done that
lesson learned
have fun working on your game

>>528784663
this is what cris has to deal with all year around

>>528784773
Lmao anon, information has been readily available since computers gave existed. They're called books retard.

>>528784275
what type of game are you trying to make anon?

there have been indie games for a long time. time is just wiping your memory of the 99% that failed.

>>528784773
This. The risks were higher, the tools were cruder, the learning material was scarcer. It was never easier to make a game, and freak occurrences millionaires happen even today, we got like 2 just last year.

i am quitting my job tomorrow, what is the best gamedev engine.

>>528785174
that's why i said "readily available on the internet"
right now, with zero experience, you can make a flappy bird clone in 5 minutes with chatgpt and unity
15 years ago, it would have at least taken a couple hours, maybe a couple days
easier education = more games = lower value

i started a new project 5 minutes ago and im already considering dropping it

I love indie game development

>>528776401
Hope it goes well anon.

>>528776483
Yeah makes sense, I've seen this.

>>528782956
What game is this?

>>528785723
Renpy. Make porn games

>>528785723
There are only bad choises among the lesser bad choices. Choose wisely.

>>528785794
Even in the early late 90s/00s it was readily available online. The only thing that's easier now is shit like godot and unity existing and youtube being the scale it is.

>>528776349

>>528786357
is it true that you can marry a 14 year old girl there?

>>528785723
Unity or Unreal. Unity is more flexible but Unreal is better at shit like open worlds, if that is what you're aiming to make. Do NOT use anything else, you need to steel your mind to all the crabs here that will say shit like "Godot" or "Bevy" or, the lowest, "make your own." GOOD LUCK anon!

>>528785835
Maybe try making a design document before starting a new project. It's easier to recognize if your project is shit at the design stage.

>>528784663
>>528784360
I just have my AC set like 5 degrees lower than normal. It's extra cold at night, but when the heat peaks in the afternoon it feels normal instead of 7 degrees too hot. Hopefully the heat wave ends soon though this shit sucks.

>>528786540
yes. this is knowledge that would make an american instantly implode

>>528785723
>>528786564
If you're making a 2d game, RPG Maker or Game Maker are unironically better options that have more successes in them then Unity or Unreal. Obviously check if your game can exist within the scope of RPG Maker if you decide to go that route though.

>>528786564
If it's 2d godot is better though.

I'm not a crab though, I've used unity and godot and know c++ and godot has been cake.

>>528784218
And? If you'd hit it big in the computer revolution of the 70s or 80s or in the internet revolution of the 90s and 00s you could be a billionaire instead. Being a millionaire from the 10s from indie games is chump change in comparison.

>>528782956
The tank looks cool as fuck. I feel like there's a tank game just waiting to be made. I'm not sure the genre though. RTS, 3rd Person, maybe like a Helldivers but with tanks. Battle of Kursk level missions with infantry and tanks advancing.

>>528787682

But most of gamedev is an awful grind that nobody likes to do
It's the same shit with film making or writing

>>528789193
I find it's exactly the opposite desu.
Too many people explaining redundant shit inflating the videos length from a 2 minute quickie to 30 minutes.
I have to skip the first half of any tutorial video.

Yeah I don’t care. I am going to try anyway. 33, software engineer, love games and storytelling, I can’t see myself doing anything else. Screw this.

>>528789253
Well said. People think they want to be a game developer, or a writer, or a filmmaker, but they don't actually want to make games, write books, or make films. This is why they suffer.

It's the age old "be someone vs do something" distinction.

>he makes a platformer with a "rich" story
>1 review (from his mom)

>>528785225
I honestly have more or less figured out most things.

So far the game loop is:

>Begin new level (Risk world map)
>Enter a new country
>5 seconds intro CGI
>Talk to npcs in a 2.5D RPG town
>Buy items and shit
>Enter country dungeon (Mario party dungeon)
>Select the tile challenge
>Do the tile challenge minigame
>Win coins or tokens
>Battle monsters
>After you complete all tiles win this dungeon
>Get a VN cutscene
>Unlock waifu pictures
>Go to next country
>Win game after all nations have been conquered.

So far is a solid gameloop.

I just need to like learn more card mechanics and rpg combat types to have a proper combat.

>>528789417
Getting tired of seeing this bitch

I made 2-4k a month from making NSFW games for about 4 years. NSFW has a higher chance at success but I hated doing it. Boring, creative compromises in story writing because it all has to lead to NSFW, etc. Also hated making NSFW content. Got so burnt out that I quit. Tried getting into regular game dev, got bored of my games super fast. The whole game dev process is a huge pain, and is only fun if you are doing it for fun and not for money, but eventually you will get bored of your game. I get bored of a new game I start working on in about 1-2 weeks LMAO.

>>528791014
No game is truly ever made by one guy though.

>>528791014
The game I am making was made by 1 guy originally (code wise) it just doesn't exist anymore in the same way and nothing has villed the void since.

>>528774135
Yeah my game is going to be one of the best games ever made

>>528774135
Yeah

i will never be a real gamedev

game development was really different back in the day. tamsoft are a game studio that released bargain bin slop called the simple series until one hit and spawned multiple sequels and a live action adaptation. this isn't really a viable strategy nowadays since development costs and standards have gone way up.

why is cris obsessed with "gameloops"

My game focuses on an immersive sim protagonist who is a blatant self-insert.

I hope people don't get too angry about playing as me in the game.

>I failed, but I learned so much!
Such a cope. You learned how to fail, lol.

The real issue is trying to design a combat game that doesn't depend on conflict.

And that's like designing a physic system without collisions.

Most people and even storytelling will cringe at the idea of a story without conflict.

But there's something deeper inside of me that tells me that there's something beyond conflict and the requeriments of suffering, murder, villain, to carry a story.

There's already other things beyond violence like exploration, collaboration, charity IRL.
So why is hard to imagine a story without violence and murder?

conflict and tension are drivers of history, love in itself is conflict. Internal conflict drives change. Theres a conflict each morning, an anxiety, Do I shit? Or do I shave first?

Simple things can be conflicts, you just have to view conflict outside the lense of violence

I think alot of us over complicate the slop-loop

do x repetitive action
x gains you 'xp' which lets you upgrade doing x faster

thats it. Thats the gigaslop loop. Nail the loop without scope creep and you have a game which people will play

but I've realized that conflict is not required.

What humans actually crave is novelty.
Conflict creates change in the world and characters.

but conflict is not the only driver of change.
It's like claiming that killing others is the core motivation of humans.

In reality humans are motivated more by fixing things, or making pretty things, or love, or desire of learning, or desire to be accepted by a group, or gain recognition, or help others, more than we are motivated by killing others and a lust for power.

Conflict could be changed then to trying to help others and fixing things, instead of killing and destroying.

In fact, we could change technically the act of striking, into something positive.

Imagine by example, that a martial art strike could be turned into a positive act, like cleaning, which is full of physical motion, or dancing.

Imagine a 2D fighter mechanics but instead of fighting another human, your goal is to clean up dirt using the same mechanic as striking something.

Come on man, you've got to stop with this, we get it you're a grifter but you've got to stop pretending like this was your amazing idea, you straight up copied a successful viral character "Thomas Feeds" and put it in a game and now your pretending as if you were like hmm i wonder what will be successful in a game? hmmm oh yes nostalgic characters hmm yes ohh my fart smells nice, your even trying to reverse engineer Tom Coben's thought process and claim it as your own.

It really points out the insanity of how people approach this.

>I can't believe you guys have an event where you show off the birdhouses you made, what a waste of time

What if the answer to my issues is that I was framing everything throught the lenses of 2D fighting games.

But in reality, the solution is quite easy.

Like conflict shouldn't be about conflict between two puppets fighting to the death, but more about the inner growth from child into adult, into a being that can help others with responsability.

A 2D combat can easily be replaced to be about construction and creation over destruction, by turning the act of punching and kicking an enemy, into the same action, punching and kicking, but to use a tool to get tokens that simbolize the act of creation of something.

Like how a carpenter uses his tools in a physical sense, using the same code that detects the collisiion of a 2D hitbox, but instead of being meaninful an act of violence, can be a methaphor for cleaning up dirt, sins, mental and emotional trauma or also the act of creation of things to help others.

bro thought he cooked fr with ts

He's talking to himself again

unreal engine gives me everything i need. animations, free models, free tools etc. etc.
yet i hate working with that engine so much, i just can't do it.
e.g. there's one thing that annoys the crap out of me, and that is that the editor ui renders at realtime. (not the game viewport, i mean the ui). in unity it only updates on changes.
but then there's shit like the terrain editor which spams your vram until it's full and then the editor crashes. they fixed that issue in 5.6 (it's in the changelog), but only if you do not use the water tools. it basically says to not use the water tools or volumes or it'll crash again xD
so basically they tell you that the feature doesn't work, because it'll always crash your editor because you run out of vram. (scroll down the 5.6 release notes if you don't believe me)
then there's lumen, which is very noisy and on top of that it smears when you move the camera. which is unusable to me basically.
i have to admit, i can't name more issues than that because i've quit using i 2 years ago and only look into it by trying new versions, but i always have performance problems.
seriously if you'd give me all the free assets, metahumans and all that stuff, but for unity, i'd never ever touch unreal. also i have basically no scripting options in unreal, because blueprint is hell with version control. so it's either c++ (which i like, but for scripting i want faster iteration) or blueprint which i really hate.
also the filesystem is a hell to work with, just moving a folder makes your editor crash often times.

i just cannot enjoy working with the engine. also i really don't like high end pc's, with a low end pc you can enjoy games and dont have to worry about something breaking. your gpu is tanked? no problem, just buy a low-end one. also lower energy costs.
i just hate to make a game that only richfags can play. i want my games to be playable for people even if they use a gtx 1050 or so.

here's smoething i dont understand... you know how some roguelites have RNG seeds...?
how does that even work, yeah you use the same seed, but how does that help when the things are "RNG"d at different times?

>>528799745
you modify the seed with each random action

>>528799827
I don't understand...

>>528799363
listen chud they're working very hard with the 10 pajeets they hire so gaben can buy another billion dollar yacht okay?

>>528798105
>he couldn't instantly tell

>>528800073
random isn't quite random
sometimes randomness can be reproduced, thus the seed

>>528798646
okay ;_; understandable, cant have someone cloning it right?

>>528799745
It really depends on how your generating stuff.
Like if you just generated a seed of 1-100 at the beginning of the game then something like your enemy spawn could be as simple as
1-33 - Spawn t-rex
34-66 - spawn raptor
67-100 - spawn nothing

And this would be the same every time given the same seed

gamedev is in a state comparable to the use of horse carriages. people keep minmaxing and optimizing the shit out of their carriages, yet as we all see, the limits have been reached.
there will be nothing new in gaming until we advance from horse carriages to cars. which means something has to transform the gamedev process. i don't mean raytracing or better hardware. i mean new tools.
i think it's AI, but not in the way you think. the thing is, big companies have all the tools, they just don't want to share them. e.g. they could easily share a character creator and all the animations with you. e.g. sims 4 could share that.
if they would, indies could make really cool games from that. it's how blender revolutionized 3D modeling, because poor people can now make 3D models too. so more people can make games.

but what will AI (maybe) do? it will help open source devs to make AAA tools for free. and that will be the next big step.

at least it "could be", if ai really works out.

i mean we all know that AAA devs could make incredible games with their resources, but it's their resources, not ours. so we all depend on them to make actually good games.

and that was always the same when only the rich and powerful were able to make something.

Worked a bunch on my intro today by filling out placeholder dialogues (and the placeholder map on the past two days).

There are actually lots of new stuff to be made it's just that most devs don't have the creative spark.
Thankfully I do.

>>528800375
>>528800631
i... guess i am just a retarded that doesn't understand anything
so does a game like slay the spire, with its seed, randomly generate everything at the start of the game before the player can "influence" it with their decisions

>>528800976
You generate the seed at the beginning of the game then use that seed for everything going forward
All of your "randomness" is deterministic based on that initial seed

I regret not deving in the 2000s when I had a chance, imagine booting up Visual C++ 6.0 on your windows 98 PC and just fucking enginedeving with SDL, imagine the props you would get in the school and in the hood for creating your own video game

>>528800375

>>528800976
There is no true enthropy in universe.

>>528801173
>All of your "randomness" is deterministic based on that initial seed
but it isn't... because if the player causes a different random number to be generated at a different time, all that deterministic randomness has been shifted...

>>528800738
gacha character looking ahh

>>528800904
And how long will it take for you to make the new stuff?

>>528798684
That sign would get wet

>>528801335
Why are you generating another random number?
Use the number you generated at the beginning for everything.

I'm not sure why you're having such trouble with this concept...

>>528801335
if it's calculated based on certain seed IT IS DETERMINISTIC.

>>528801180
>2000s

>>528796968
Let RNGesus decide for you which game to make.

>>528801180
dumb mindset. did you ever hear old school devs talking about how they had to send cd's via mail and receive laughable amounts of money? you have access to steam, itch, paypal, stripe etc. etc. you can market your game on youtube, forums, discords, social media or whereever you want.

i'm not trying to argue with you, but just admit it, you just don't have an idea for a game. that's fine. it's ok to not have an idea. but that is really your only problem.

>>528801180
Eh, I was doing C++ and stuff when I was 16-17 in 2006 and no one cared. I would write down programs in math class then type them up when I got home. People were more excited I could put games on their calculators or DL an album for them.

>>528801335
maybe ... .. you... should make a vampire survivors clone instead..

i also dev'ed in 2006 and everybody told me to focus on school because programming isn't a real job and wont get me anywhere. boomers basically ruined my life. but my shithole town didn't have any opportunities for programmers anyways.

>>528801462
>>528801473
you don't understand what i'm explaining....
two games are using seed 12345
player 1, attacks 3 times in a row. and rolls a hit, a miss, and a hit
player 2, attacks once, drinks a potion, and attacks again. first he hits (identical outcome), he drinks a potion (there is a roll here for how much it heals, lets say 4 health points), now the 3rd hit is no longer the same random number, and it misses
as demonstrated in my example here >>528800976

>>528801335
>>528801462
For example:
You want to get a random spawn location for an enemy so you generate a number from 1-64000
But then every enemy would spawn in the same location
So you have an ID for every enemy spawner and do Number + ID to get the unique position for every enemy

one of two coom devs to actually finish their game and move onto a new one rather than milking it for their whole life.

i find it interesting that you have suffered only minor losses from jumping to a new game but mado has suffered great losses from such a thing. i believe it has to do with the genre change. you stay in the same genre overall which your fanbase clearly likes, thus negating losses from switching to a new game. mado on the other hand lost the fanbase tied to his game, the new one is simply too different and has to find a whole new crowd but it seems to be on a downtrend so idk how many there are that like it compared to his last game. despite being against coom devving i find the performance behind you two quite interesting. also interesting how bit by bit you guys, at least the consistent ones ie you, moncurse, daent, and bedabot are overall trending up long term. mado on the other hand stuck finding a new base point after shifting games but overall up longterm. almost as if overall successes on /agdg/ shifted from normal games to coom games. i'm not encouraging this tho, i'd rather you all quit coomdevving ;_;

it's insane how much people gaslight themselves with all sorts of reasons and explanations instead of just admitting "i do not want to dev".
the real reason you are a nodev is because you don't enjoy doing it. i feel like that's hard to admit, when it's your dream. it's like wanting to date a girl because she's hot, but when you are with her you hate her. and then you try to make yourself love her, but it just doesn't work.

>>528801819
I dunno why you'd use a seed in that specific case.
But if you wanted to, you could. There is nothing stopping you from coming up with a random function that generates hits or misses based on the initial seed and something concrete like an enemy ID or whatever.

Damn. For me it was simply not knowing I could gamedev. Had I had access to gamedev back then, ~2005, then I'd probably have succeed in or at or around 2013, the start of the indie golden age when you could put your game up on steam and have so little competition. I will never understand how devs who are here right now and released games back in the early 2010s never succeeded, did they just not try and chugged on the hobby pill like some sort of cope. I can see the kid version of me doing it for both fun and money, it doesnt have to be some super strict "reeeeee you can't make it about money at all!" belief on this.

Mirrored Soul dev?
Automon dev?

I was at the park meditating because I had taken Toby out.
And I had this idea—imagine the protagonist has to choose between helping three little mice.
One of them grants wisdom, another wealth, and another fame.
And the points we earn can go to one or the other, but by doing this, we offend one of the other mice.
And so this could lead to finishing the game with wisdom, but being poor.
And in that case, I don't need to fight or kill anyone—the mechanics themselves symbolize the conflict.
The risk, as a consequence of failing a mechanic, doesn’t necessarily mean you get hit.
You just need a negative consequence on your score table.
But it doesn't have to mean getting hit by an enemy.

This is possible. But I think it's largely because of Steam.
Steam is an extra discoverability engine and those who really like the game have a good chance of becoming patrons, thus slowing down my downward trend.

>>528803612
And what happens if by example, the game over and game victory isn't done to the player.

So, there's a game over and a victory, but not for the player, but for one of the mice.

So the conflict is not about killing the player, but simply each mice trying to win, and tricking the player into winning for him.

But at the same time, there's a game over, but is not the one for the player.
The player doesn't die nor has to kill.

It has simply to win enough tokens to declare one of the mice to be a victor.
But the conflict is born from the mice to each other, not to make the player fight and kill and survive.

But simply treat the player as a force of judgement to pick a side, and that side is more a moral reflection of ourselves, rather than mere a basic action to cause a collision in the engine.

the last time i really yesdev'ed hard is when i stopped caring about ideas and treated gamedev like a competition. just like grinding for a rank in league of legends. i just started programming whatever feature needed. just random combat, stat system, inventory system, loot system etc. - like just programming whatever i can program.
ofc this means i had no fucking idea where i'm going at, but i actually did yesdev and that was cool.
maybe i should do that again.

Now imagine making a game that would take 3 years for an indie gamedev company with a total of 4 employees. All working a 40 hour work week. Now imagine trying to make such a game by yourself and in your spare time. It's grim. It's basically a pipeline of forced schooling and then straight to working. Where's the me time?

>Is it embarrassing for a tiger to hunt a deer?
I'd say so, in the same way that it's embarrassing for an intelligent man to work as a fast food employee. There is (ALWAYS) shame to be had in doing things that are easy.
That's why I'm an engine dev. :^)
>You provide a service, people will pay you for it. Simple as that.
Yeah, but that by itself doesn't negate the shame in achieving that in a way that doesn't actually challenge yourself.

A real challenge? A tiger hunting an even bigger tiger. Do that. Your project should always be the equivalent of a tiger hunting a bigger, stronger tiger.
>>528776225
I'm against demo day and always have been in the six years that I've been here, for the same reason that I'm against early access: DO NOT SHOW YOUR GAME OFF UNTIL IT'S FINISHED! EVER! NOT EVEN A TEASER TRAILER, NOT EVEN A DEV LOG, NOT EVEN A SINGLE SCREENSHOT OR SYNOPSIS UNTIL THE GAME IS *FINISHED* AND *PERFECT.*

>>528803386
I do and I get them to test aswell but ill never say no to free feedback

>>528806012

>>528806643
You can get free feedback without waiting for a specific day or anything though.

is it normal to go to bed wiht a completely clear plan of everything but waking up with a completely empty head that doesn't refill with anything until its bedtime again

>>528806880
Yes

I mean, what if instead of being something negative, each attack pattern is similar to a shmup attack, but instead of being negative points, It simply increase the value of one of the 3 mice points, so the battle is over when one of the 3 mices reaches something like 100, instead of my HP points reaching 0.

That way, there's not damage, neither game over.
But there's still a game ending, and the game still follow most clasic shmup mechanics.

So in a sense, the game is more like an arcade tournament, until one of the mice wins.

But the leading mice bullets could become smaller and the losing ones could become bigger, as a way to increase dificulty.

>>528805624
>>want your characters to have a bit of inertia and not immediately snap between moving from point to point
My pawns have too much of inertia they fucking slam into walls

>>528806880
Yes, that means that you aren't lined up with your circadian rhythms. Your brain is naturally most active at night, which you have designated as your bedtime, so there isn't really a point in your 24 hour schedule where you are both awake and at the peak of your energy.

I am the opposite way. I'm best in the mornings, absolutely fucking useless in the evenings, so my bedtime is the standard nighttime bedtime.

Consider shifting your bed time to daylight hours.

So, abstract art is for children? Having *less* of an ability to appreciate thoughts that *only* humans can explore, and basically being less of a human person altogether, makes you more of an adult? Interesting (retarded) take.
>low poly
That shit gets on my nerves too, for sure, but this is just because millennial retards who grew up with late-90s games are now the main game developer crowd these days; when gen X was the main indie dev crowd back in the 2010-2015 era, you saw a lot of pixelshit platformer crap.
This is just kinda par for the course when kids grow up and become game developers. They more often than not babyduck for whatever introduced them to gaming.
>simple shapes, simple representations
What do you mean by that?
>high saturation
Color is a good thing. Again, the color spectrum we have is a uniquely human color spectrum, making it inherently humanistic to engage with the full color spectrum as often as possible; I really wouldn't consider denying your humanity to be "more adult."

Without pornographic elements added, I don't think that would go further than an 17+ M-rating like Grand Theft Auto. I want 18+ Adults Only, which is traditionally only reserved for the directly pornographic and the ultra-violent. How can I achieve AO without being either of those things?

Again, unless it's pornographic, I don't think that would be more than an M-rating. The ESRB doesn't actually consider nudity inherently pornographic, so the mere presence of a nude Olympic championship wouldn't put it at AO.

Dude, it's not the color selection, it's the lack of visual indication of where your player is.
You need to put a glowing border around the player character or something so its easy to pinpoint where you are on the screen at all times.
Otherwise everything blends together and becomes confusing.

>>528818709

Graphical sexual content is Adults Only according to ESBR

Just have graphical sexual content without making porn. It's that easy.

>>528820332
Sorta reminds me of megaman

>>528822016
what is graphical sexual content? because everything can be sexual

>>528822016
But if sexual content can be considered graphic, then that makes it porn.
So, you have basically just said, "make porn." I said I don't want to make porn. Not even "soft-core porn."

>>528822298

>visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.
Just make your graphical sex aesthetic and emotional instead of erotic. It's that easy.

>>528821235
Idk man I think this looks WORSE maybe I should go with black coffee since it makes sense a DAD would spill his coffee in the living room toy table on accident and he drinks black coffee because hes a boomer or something.

>>528822298
this is literally sexual content

>>528813294
I have a one-sided rivalry with a gamedev company, so I don't see how I could convince them of anything since they're pros.
But if my rival was just some guy, I wouldn't even want to talk to him anyway. And I'd prefer he didn't try to talk to me either. Our games would do the talking.

I want to make a game with an art style similar to Genndy Tartakovsky's ie Samurai Jack, Clone Wars, Primal. How do I go about achieving a similar style?

>>528822662
the entire scene makes no sense, it doesn't look like anything

>>528822976
Here it is with black coffee.

>>528822590
>Just make your graphical sex aesthetic and emotional instead of erotic. It's that easy.
Eroticism is an emotion, you idiot. And you cannot make something "graphically sexual" without being explicit in a way that would sexually stimulate your audience member.

You are proposing this idea that there is a middle ground between mild sexual content and explicit sexual content (porn); there isnt - its either mild, and it gets an M rating, or its pornographic, and then it gets an AO.

You do realize that "porn" doesn't just mean "hardcore porn with 10 inch dragon dildos and screaming," right? All explicit sexual content is considered pornographic, even that which is more emotionally-driven.

I had this. They took the name of my game before I settled on it. Iirc the name was already in my head for longer than the existence of the trademark paperwork being officially filed and in the contest period. Had I not been so indecisive I could've had it. Though I'd probably have renamed it in the end since the name wasn't that good but hey there's a chance they'd have paid me a hefty sum for the trademark.

>>528823736

Please, explain how you can make AO sexual content that isn't explicit and doesn't sexually stimulate your audience member. It's not doable, because anything non-explicit is M-rating only, and anything explicit is considered pornographic, i.e. AO.

I mean, vector art is a separate decision from art design, but yeah being angular makes it easier compared to organic shapes with vectors.

>>528823615
I guess he stylizes the forms and poses to approximate their general idea to simple geometric shapes making them either more square or rounder than reality, as appropriate.

>>528823404
Phew thank you. I can move on then to the next level. This level is the same room but at night time. I think when I saturated the toy blocks for the last level it automatically did for this level so something feels off about how vibrant everything is compared to how this level used to look... I might have to make copies of the textures then re-apply them so the desaturated look of the nighttime toy block level looks better.

And just like that, the code refactor to handle this huge chunk of data's is nearing completion. Just a few more line's of code and it's over! I'm almost free, almost. I hate coding all these systems!!!!

Next after this?
More coding....

>>528824147
>I mean, vector art is a separate decision from art design,
Yeah ofc, I was just thinking if it would be more appropriate. However, that basically limits me to using rigging for the animations themselves, right? I mean, frame by frame would just be an incredible amount of time required?
>>528824430
Yes, true. But, and this is the reason for my question in the first place, we can say that about most western cartoons.(or at least the ones I can think of). Though his art does have a lot of hard edges, more than usual that is. Also looking at old Jack and new Jack, the coloring technique seems to have changed, innit?

>>528813294
I want to trick them into stopping development or messing up the game but I can't do it, my conscious is preventing me from doing so.

>>528824646
>You called the "Oxford Languages" an idiot bruh
Eroticism is an emotion, what the fuck is it if not? Yes, I am calling whoever wrote that retarded, because that contradicts any basic level of psychological understanding. Go pick up a book about the human mind. Horniness, eroticism, these are considered emotions, too.

Do people hate cris?

I just realized I only need to add turn based mechanics to kaliina, from TRPG and TCG and the issues will be basically fixed and kaliina combat will be 500 times better.

Bruh you're so afraid of making a porn game you're trying to redefine the English language

>>528826090
Because "I made a porn game" is a generic sentence. Just like "I made a platformer," "I made a fighter," "I made a shooter." I need to achieve AO through completely unique means. My game has to go down in history as one of a kind. It's not worth making otherwise.

>>528825914
Hm, thanks. I will check it out. I have been looking at old Samurai Jack flash games, but they are kinda lacking in the art department. Except Code of the Samurai. I think they nailed. I want something similar, but a bit better, maybe with at least some shading.

Python print inserts a newline for you by default. You have to specify if you don't want a new line

Is a 49 minute average playtime decent for a free demo with only 6 minutes of content? I feel like it's not terrible but idk

Hm, this is another thing that I was wondering about. When I look at Clone Wars (and ofc stuff like Dexter, PPGs, Bravo) it's outline galore, even Primal. However, Samurai Jack absolutely abandons that. I am yet to decide which is better.

Will one of the other ~10 year dev time devs release this year to keep up the streak?
2024: Marmo
2025: ?

There's still Bokube, Cteshiphon, and Heroes Gain. Unless we count that one game Creature Keeper but that guy seems to have only posted to demo day once. Idk if he even posted here either.

>>528835775
I just think it's backwards to have 20 whole changes for every level on the visual aspect when the enemy placements, the game part of the game, are literally the same as they were 3 years ago.

I'm not gonna replay the nicest looking level in the world if it the whole thing has cheap deaths that completely went over your testing.

Feels like he's dragging out for the sake of polishing graphics. That doesn't really seem worth the time investment, idk 2026? Assuming he doesn't actively keep giving himself tasks to push back release

Seems to still be in the oven, maybe 2027?
>Heroes Gain
Unlikely, he seems to have no idea where to take it rather than just abandon it.

what one is more important? average or median?

it's a shader you apply to a 3d model. Maybe it works on sprites, google it and start actually trying stuff nigga instead of sitting around acting like you're going to do something

Interesting I never noticed SJ was an outliner on outlines
You should prioritize visual clarity because of the video game medium, which probably will lead you towards outlines

>>528837557
If you simply said "I added 3 new moves to the Snowman boss" that would ward off 90% of the anon criticisms. But the only thing you mention is graphics, and well, ugly games get sales so what good are graphics?

>>528838107
median is usually more accurate, it doesn't take into account the outliers of people who played for 1 minute or 500 hours

>>528837183

a bird was making constant really high pitched chirps outside so i couldn't focus but when i went out there with my slingshot i couldnt tell where the chirps were coming from and then a giant owl flew away, taking a path right in front of me and the chirps stopped thereafter
do owls make high pitched chirp noises?

Imagine, and I apologize for saying something so outlandish, that not only that you play it, but you play it for multiple sessions and reach this level after hours of gameplay
Finally imagine, stay with me, that you see this on your pc screen and feel some sort of positive emotion

Look at it zoomed in at the games normal camera though it looks fine. Iv never heard any playtester or anon that actually played bokube to have visual issues or eye tracking busyness problems.

It's a kind of soul rot that comes through in a person's creations, you immediately get a feeling looking at the game "Something isn't right in a bad way". It gives off that vaguely sick feeling, like the general dread feeling on a day after heavy drinking.

Good point. Have you seen this game?

Marmo learned to make games from scratch with that game though. You see how much it changed over the years, go to Internet archive for early demodays and see.
