what is pyw and who are the other anime girls with bocchi

Agios o Bocchi

how do i get good at character design?

how big is bocchi penis

>>528974098
Game dev?

I'm a programmer, at least theoretically
but it seems that most people don't seem to realize that finishing huge solo programming projects, games particularly, is such a unique and different beast that's completely it's own field and has about as much in common with other programming fields as webdev or microprocessor shit does
so many people go into game dev with PHDs or years in some other field, then get completely chewed up and spat out
see it all the time

>>528974568
>solo programming projects, games particularly,
programming is like just 20% of the whole game buddy, it's over.

As if!

/agdg/ will continue being shit for as long as you keep encouraging and hugcrabbing the slop while being unduly harsh and demanding towards the effort games. You get what you nurture

>>528974705
you disappoint me, cris, you where supposed to know your shit.
native american cultures where as ethnically diverse as any other continent.
no, i wont post the real pictures that where used as reference for those drawings.

You're out of touch.

>>528975192
hugcrabbing is based though. look how much time has been wasted by snoringtroon and that rolling ball dx game. its hilarious

the 'gram and 'cord are here

what is with newfags obsessed with coding.
just because you where too retarded to learn it fast, doesn't mean that it's as important as art or music.

It's funny because there's a literal one with macedonian hair.

And twintails are an east asian thing.
And amerindian girls don't have pixie haircuts.

My autismo of ethnic female knowledge is displeased by your lack of skills in waifus.

Good morning /agdg/ Lets get some work done

I've done no devving since I woke up hours ago. Once again I'm aimless as I get closer to the finish line of a goal. I need to tie up some code, make sure it works, and move onto another thing.

I expect to sell fewer than you as well, but it doesn't matter. We gotta keep making more and maybe one day we'll get lucky, but we can't expect to be those on in a million success stories.

Just tried drawing her, the girl I saw in my minds eye, why do I suck at art so much? She is so beautiful yet the drawing lacks so much.

/agdg/ refuses to make better games.

>>528977961
Native Americans and Asians share a common ancestors. That's why they look alike sometimes, but that's also why Native Americans had exclusively straight hair, like Asians.

Curly hair comes from white people, and nigs, both of whom only arrived to the Americas with the Conquistadors.

Day 27 on a Thread for Project C-Con – "Is that a Donut?" Edition
Journal logs are being posted into /agdg/ daily.

Went and looked back at the 3D modeling tutorial for Blender, I haven't been on it for a bit so we did a few minutes of it. We started off by scaling the entire model to a proper size and fixing any issues of that, so next time we'll be adding more details to the sprinkles besides just dots, making the donut model a bit more realistic and interesting.

What is Project C-Con?

you tellin me this nigga made a full design document for a 3D fighting game before doing the blender donut

Are you still doing the donut tutorial?

>>528973517
there's a lot of memes that just don't make sense. i actually don't believe that knowing the context having seen the anime would make them make sense. They're just completely lolrandom. they're just inserting goto into random scenarios, often straight up replacing the original character with goto and not modifying the joke whatsoever
im starting to think that bocchi is some kinda meaningless brainrot, and that goto has no personality or identifiable traits that would facilitate creation of humorous content. It's almost like they WANT to reference bocchi, but there's NOTHING to reference, so the end result is just "look it's an image of goto and she's uhhh basically not doing anything at all"

>>528994434
>Suddenly
It was always bad. Having 1 whole enemy in the first level doesn't evoke any emotion, it's just a bad level.

I'm sick and tired of the Bochi avatarfag. Fygoon was right, too bad he was very obnoxious about it.

I'm already bored of bocchiposting
maybe kitaposting is the way to go

he does this all day every day 24/7 btw
annoying a small general of hobbyist gamedevs because ???

Wait, there's people actually getting annoyed of seeing an anime girl? here? on 4chan?

see there it goes again pretending like people on 4chan never complained about avatarfags, disgusting larping reddit creature

I stand with the bocchi poster

bochi the nodev

>>528973040 (OP)
Who's in top left? I feel like I've seen "her" art but as a female. I might be confusing the characters.

>>528995028
All those characters are trannies, the can is a representation of their dicks yep that's what tranime is about. Now why is that in the OP of the amateur gamedev general? Fygoon was right.

>>528995223
That doesn't answer my question.

>>528995447
Okay fine, it's Osana Najimi from Komi Can't Communicate.

>>528991650
>Imagine your drawing was better than reality. What THEN?
You mean exactly as I imagined her? Then the time has come for me to /make it/ but first I must make the game.

Alright you art fag niggers am I going in the right direction? Do you rike this? I turned all the crystal rocks to a nice blue pattern; pinked up the snow a bit; and im still in the process of gap filling all the black borderlines on the tiles so you dont see the grid too harshly. Might make the water easier on the eyes too if its still to bad.

sooo here's my post mortem i guess...
mistakes i made) should have made a good game, and should have marketed it
things i would do different) make a good game and market it
thanks for reading my post mortem...

>>528995775
Sheeeet what did it look like before nigga I am a art fag

>>528995775
it's good enough

>>528995223
>Now why is that in the OP of the amateur gamedev general?
Bridget is here to remind you that 1 design reels in all these secondaries who know absolutely nothing about your game. All these customers who wouldn't be here if the roster was all manly men.

>>528995882
Worse apparently that is why im polishing it after you guys said this was bad when I posted it yesterday. Here is that same before picture.

Suppose to a snow zone themed level that takes place in a crystal cave.

kek

>>528995775
....boku this looks worse than the colors in the other level from the other day. post art from before the change. if its like that other outdoor snow level then you have indeed made it worse

>>528996015
yeah this was better, you're making your game worse by "polishing" the art. work on something other than art, you've may have been staring too long at your art.

what else does your game need before being ready for release?

>>528996015
yep im thinking this needs another year of polish

>>528996015
btw use the new crystals, leave everything else the same as before. i'm the guy who posted this >>528996597 & this >>528996714

the reason people don't like gambling is because you lose most of the time

so simply make a gambling game where you win most of the time

good lord I love the look of this, nice work

Does anyone have the steampiggies webm?

It works! ha ha yes YES

I took the advice to just make the mask the same color as the gloves. I do think it looks better than the n95 mask. also he has a hazmat gf now

>the reason people don't like gambling
???

Why is this so hard? There is SO MUCH to
learn.
>learn something
that's good, but there's so much more. It never ends.

You can't just make the game. You have to learn and fail over and over.
>no one to support you
>no one to give deadlines
>no one to mentor you
I can't even just chill and listen to music because I have to read documentation and figure things out on the fly.

This was easy on paper. Just spend 6 hours a day making the game, and 4 hours learning 3d modelling. 2 months in and I haven't even started the donut tutorial because coding 6 hours a day would be an achievement in itself.

You don't appreciate how hard things are or why co-op or RPGs are overscoped until you actually start doing stuff. Anons doing this after doing a jobby are honestly just really impressive.
Good luck, anons. Add skill.

Thanks again to the fellas buying my game and leaving a review! Glad you enjoyed it.
Now I am at 8 reviews and quite close to 10.

I heard that with 10 Steam shows it to more people, but also read in yesterday's thread, that that's not true anymore?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3625870/Dungeon_Drops/

>>528999142
ayo this nigga making it wit DEEZ graphics? agdg aint having no excuse anymore

>>528999094
You get over that hurdle with time and experience. Eventually you will read through that documentation enough times that you will have the details memorized, and then it does become smoothsailing.
I had gotten to that level of comfort with GameMaker back when I started, then I switched to Unity and it was that kinda work again, but now I am at a state of total comfort again

i know what i want to make but i dont know how i want the game and player to interface with each other to create that game
god i hate ui and systems...

>>528999559
Thank you very much. I worked many hours on the graphics in Aseprite.
I am quite new to pixel art though.

>>528995775
>boku said the n word and f word
I'm telling

>>528999142
>I heard that with 10 Steam shows it to more people, but also read in yesterday's thread, that that's not true anymore?
Correct, the old version of steam's algo shadowbanned new games under 10 reviews but now you get in new and trending by sales volume and playtime. Btw the new steam is more localized, if your game doesn't have translation in x language it most likely won't appear in new and trending for x country,

>>528999803
I literally had 3 different nightmares that I used the N word in the marketing of my game last night

>>528999142
>these graphics
>more reviews than Feed, Afterlife Gladiator
Impressive, I wonder what makes the difference in scenario's like this. Not mocking you or any of the other anons btw. Just something I've noticed in my personal research as well.

dude, put a HIGHLIGHT around that bunny.

>>528999981
To be honest I don't browse these threads SO much. But I am 36 now and played many videogames in my life, so judging from my own experience as a player I tried to make the game fun to play with an interesting mechanic.

I don't know if here maybe gameplay > graphics?

But also I got nice support from my discords and other anons in here,

>>528999094
It's a team sport for a reason anon. Even Zork was made by 4 people. There really is just too much to do. If you're a solo developer you're greatly limiting the scope of what you can do.
Especially if you try to be the pure pristine solo warrior AGDG praises where they don't even want to commission others or hire playtesters and the credits page needs to be exactly 1 line long.

Hell, Balatro had a private discord with a hundred playtesters that played and tested the build every single day, if the developer just kept to himself until release it wouldn't have been nearly as addictive and polished. Putting the game 50 times on DD still wouldn't compare in scope to how much Balatro was tested.

>>528999803
Go to hit twitter. Hit replies. Read his incel schizo essays

>>528999856
im going to archive this thread. just wait.

>>529000364

No worries, always glad to banter with the fellas in this general!

I just heard this argument a few times by now, that my artwork is supposedly shitty...

I was actually trying to go for a retro style, like Kung Fu for the NES for example. With the big black frame with some UI elements only...
So I don't know if people mean my art is shitty compared to other contemporary indie games that are out right now or compared to other retro looking pixel art games?

>>529000914

this thread has nodev /vg/ tourists from gacha generals who do nothing but praise tranime games and shit on anything else, that's not feedback or bants just tribalism
pic related (path of achra) is one of my most played indie game of last year, if the gameplay is good then graphics don't need high fidelity but consistent aesthetics is definitely important

this general has fallen

surely Hollywood will also invite this guy to podcasts like they do for barone eric, right? right?

I wish Fygoon and OSH came back, amateur gamedev ain't the same without them...

Fuck off Fygoon

we call him fygoonCHAD 'round these parts, partner

I'm Aussie.

Guys can someone explain the lore?
What is a Fygoon?

>>529001364
And? Everyone heard about ori and the blind forest back then

i'd never seen the term tranime used here until he started shitting up the place
whenever you see someone sperging out about anime on fucking 4chan.org, you know its the 'Goon

historical japanese clothing like the kariginu do not convert well to pixelart...

>>529003057
Time to drop the pixelshit.

>>529000289
In any case congrats, you made something that people bought. In my research I've seen great artistic style that's better than most 2D devs here only for the game to get around 35 reviews. Then I see someone whose game is very lacking on the artistic front only for it to have more reviews like something around 80 reviews. It really confuses me on what drives sales there when word of mouth is likely very low.

>>528984361
You gotta learn to not hate your art and appreciate what you have drawn. I've had countless drawings where I thought it was dog but friends say otherwise

My game is getting followed by a concerning amount of women

>70% for the publisher
????
also what about his salary being paid by the publisher? those $10M went to his pocket and the other devs

>>529004551
>>70% for the publisher
If you were a publisher, what % would you ask if someone asked you for 12 million dollars in budget?

>>529002587
If you’re spending in tens of millions then expecting profit at million sales is laughable. Just spend less

>>529000585
Just don’t spend 12 million dollars to produce slop 10 Indians can make for 500k

>>529000585
*profits more than the publisher and the developer combined*

Game design question:
Say units wear armor that grants them damage reduction but decreases their movement range.
Now there are attacks that decrease armor permanently and thus make affected units more vulnerable.
Should the status effect also increase movement range?
The logic is that since the armor is breaking then it should weight less, but limiting movement is one of the downsides of armor.

>>529005608
Gaben risked so much by allowing it on his marketplace, completely justified cut

>>529005608
Steam assumes the most risk though

>>529005740
impossible to answer

>>529005516
This

>>529005740
Would you say armor breaking happens more often on the player units or the enemy units? Can the player break down his own armor? Can units take off/swap the armor in combat?

One possible thing that could happen is a player makes a strat that involves putting on heavy armor, tanking a hit or two, and then breaks down his own armor so he can now move fast.
If breaking armor happens more often on the enemy units, I would not increase movement range because player might think buffing the enemy speed is undesirable so he never ends up using armor break. If it happens on the player as well, I'd give them increased movement range since it can open up new tactics.

>>529000585
Another dev who profited from the early 10s indie goldrush. His expectations are outdated and completely warped

>>529006006
The main upside is that it could open up new tactics, but I have 2 main concerns:
1. Armor can have other downsides apart from decreasing movement range. As an example, closed helms decrease accuracy.
2. It can make the game needlessly complex and put players in unforeseen scenarios. As an example, say there's an enemy that deals high damage but has low movement to compensate. Attacking recklessly with armor breaking actions without finishing it off in a single turn would essentially create a more dangerous enemy.

does anyone have a good formula for calculating the price of scaling upgrades?
something that should take into account:
- a base price
- current upgrade level
- a scaling factor which affect how much prices increase per upgrade

also, if those upgrades should affect some stats (like leveling up a character increases skill points, or in an idle game it would increase resource acquisition), what's a good way of determining that increase? ideally also in a way that scales using a base boost amount and factor.

any online docs that are useful for this sort of stuff?

>>529006719
current price -> 1.5 x current price

rinse repeat

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.

It depends on how much of the resource needed for the upgrade the player is generating.
Put this stuff in a spreadsheet and figure it out. You can express all upgrade costs in play time.

>>529007061
never ask a hobbydev why he released his flash game on steam

I've been working on the pass move. I've added a small animation for the receiver when you highlight them on the menu. Also the camera tracks the ball as it moves between the players.
I will fix the throw animation as it looks bizarre but the next big phase will be letting the defender block the pass.

He's saying this like he's revealing some great secret. "Did you know if you spend 14 million and make 15 million, you don't actually get rich if you owe someone 70% of that and have pay taxes on top of that?" Ya man, giving someone 70% and barely making back what you spent is not gonna make you rich. I do if fact know that.

>>529000585
My game didn't cost 10 million to make.

am i being rude for thinking that getting into gamedev just to demake [INSERT POPULAR GAME HERE] is kinda subhuman? why are so many nu gamedevs so creatively bankrupt fanboys of x IP? wasnt like this a decade ago

>>529010087
You should take the game to new heights or a drastically different direction. Stardew took the game further. It's more complete. That would be the goal. Although if a genre has been basically abandoned you can get away with less immense updates. I don't see an issue with it. If you love the series and haven't been served, then it's fine to want to make that game.

Now, I didn't watch that video, if someone is remaking Dark Souls with ps1 graphics, I would call that creatively bankrupt. We get one of those games every year and it's very well done. So to me, that is bizarre (I didn't watch the video though I could be missing something.)

>>529007961
I will add men, the teams will be mixed. I am just concentrating on the mechanics for now.

bros I got a question. whats the point of coom games? like, how are you meant to play them after you cum? is there ANY point to a coom game having content after the first sex scene? you'd just cum and close the game, right? and if the game string it out over such a long time delaying the first sex scene until lots of gameplay, you'd just get blue balls, right?

it seems like most coom games are incomplete, but how would a model coom game even be structured? like, 20minutes of gameplay culminating in a hot sex scene, roll credits?

>>529010087
>wasnt like this a decade ago
yeah stardew valley was definitely not a copy of harvest moon

I've been searching for a writer for my game for over a month now. everyone I encountered acts like a tortured soul and every time, it ends with them either claiming they're just so busy they won't even have a minute to spare for my project, crashing out and having a mental breakdown after a week or just ghosting me.

is this a common thing for videogame writers? should I look outside of gaming-related communities?

>>529010558

>>529010375
>Stardew
Surely you can find a better example, release shartdew was very barebones and still had insane marketing because it was released 10 years ago with way less competition and is made by the son of a boeing engineer. It took YEARS of work from both the devs and the modding community to get to that point, many games cannot afford to keep working on flops.

>>529010590
creatives are usually tortured souls, idk what you were expecting

>>529010590
yes, and it is actually pretty hard. you basically have to do it yourself but if you want someone else to do it then try giving them a starting off point and tell them to fill the rest of the page.

if you also need someone to manage that then you're screwed.

>>529010590
I haven't worked with writers in particular but it wouldn't surprise me. I think most artistic types get off on being un-disciplined pieces of shit because they read propaganda stories of artist of old being retards. I have an artist now that at times annoys me, but does eventually deliver good results. So instead of thinking "Why isn't this guy perfect" I remind myself that it could be worse. Artists are fucking nuts.

The same writer who has a mental breakdown writing a visual novel will later be like "why can't I get any work, why am I failure, why why why." And it's bro, just sit the fuck down like every other profession and WORK.

>>529010558

>>529010735
I'm actually starting to think that this might be the thing that chases them away.
I gave them all a pretty detailed document with backstories, key plot points and main characters. I thought it would help them, but maybe they were expecting to be the sole creative voice and maybe they think my prewritten shit is more of a hindrance.

What the hell anon, it is all about subtlety. You want to make the player work for a fun scene but you tease them with near nudes that are really just clothed women in suggestive poses or photoshopped to look nude behind objects. You may slip up here and there to keep them engaged but lots of coomers want the hidden message to rub their cock and not full on porn. Again, you do the porn but there is a build up. Like you're at the park and she bends over and you see an anal slut tattoo on her lower back after she said she is a good girl. Make sense?

>>529017198
it can show you what not to do, if you are interested in doing something creative.

>>529017198
Nobody cares about using it for references. People care only about two things broadly.

1. That you dont let AI be the one who does the creative fun part of the development, because then that makes the game feel soulless. Even if AI could make assets that feel like they have soul, the moment you tell most people that it was made with AI, it will suddenly lose its soul.

2. Trying to not normalize AI slop. If AI slop gets normalized broadly even if most of it at first is made by genuine hobbyists who enjoy the process of prompting or whatever, it then just becomes question of very short time until some botfarm starts to flood the internet with AI generated content that has never touched a human. AI invented the topic, then turned that into a prompt, then turned that prompt into AI slop, then uploaded it with no human oversight. Just passive income for cynical hasslers who got lucky and just waste energy and internet bandwidth with their slop machine.

yes, you can become rich with gamedev.

yes, i believe you can make it.
no, i don't believe it's as easy as "just do it".

you get it?

Im genuinely the most creative guy you would hope to come across,but i have fucking nothing to prove it. My mind is extremely bizarre functioning in a way that gives me euphoria just daydreaming and thinking about concepts-ideas for games,GAME MECHANICS n how they would function or come together,character concepts and designs,colour patterns,scenes,scenery,amazing music playing in my head(and my voice is too monotonous for me to voice record the melodies in order to remember them),thinking about possible past lives ive had and experiences in them give me amazing feelings,thinking of bizarre/absurd/surreal/slapstick concepts and situations,worldbuilding random details and histories and fkn truly unique shit that would blow the fuck away all the elder scrolls lore faggots, could list off a bunch of other shit but i already lost track, film ideas, fun video ideas, personal esoteric discoveries insights or just "meme" shit with potential to go viral, etc. My mind even amuses me just with combining words or letters in ways that i find enjoyable funny or cool, creating character names or just names for random non existing shit.
Im not joking when i am saying this that i am walking goldmine of ideas that could change gaming and more. What only separates me from like a renaissance genius is admittedly i cannot perhaps do it with "purpose", like u know when they did some super crazy painting and there is like profound mathematical architectural anatomical shit within it etc stuff like that - i cant and wont be able to and im not too bothered about that.
My only problem is that historically through my life i cannot make myself do shit. Ill start doing something then abandon it within minutes. Its crazy. Im 27 now and ive been trying to make myself do something since age 12, its given me a lot of fucking stress in my life. Thankfully i discovered taoism not so long ago so i dont really bother about anything anymore.

Thoughts about using darksouls keyboard/ controller controls in an arpg game?

I hate pixel art animations why did I ever think this was a good choice.

Well I can see now why every porn game uses the same style of HD 2d still images with text.
Tried doing animated pixel art, the tedium was beyond measure. So many frames, and using mid to large sprites was too ambitious. Tried 3d models and it was horribly uncanny, plus I hated working in 3d.

people will mock you but I can tell you, you're not wrong for believing in your ideas and you're not wrong to not want to share them with others

>>529024950
Surely out of 3 multi-million dollar ideas, you could share at least 1 with us? The one you're least likely to finish in your lifetime?
Or I'll settle for a 100k dollar one, go on, I'm your friend you can trust me.

>>529024950
Ideas are worthless.

>>529025239
cringe a bit when people say this
it's such a midwit thing to say. it's not necessarily WRONG but the way it's said always has the tone of self-importance, like you think you're the coach from rocky changing someone's life. but all you're doing is sharing a platitude that everyone else already knows, in response to something completely banal

>>529023465

>>529025382
It's cringe when people FORCE you to say this. "I have muh great ideas." No you don't. If you don't actually believe in the idea enough to build it, then it's not good. If you can't build it, then it's not a good idea either.

>>529024950

prepare to grind for 20 years all gamedev skills until you can make your dream games, or give up and just get a borning normie job and live with the regret of never doing your dream ideas.

Good devs create good games.
Good games create bad devs. (They play them and get "inspiration.)
Bad devs create bad clones.
Bad clones create good devs as we're forced to make a new damned game to escape all the card battlers.
Any questions? Good, now sit your ass down.

>>529026194
I agree that the ideal position is to be a delegator. I briefly tried hiring a 3rd world dev, and the only person to apply was an indian, but they didn't apply directly, they had a handler apply for them. I just ignored it and kept deving. But eventually I'll build a team.

>>529026317
>I have an idea I'm convinced will make me $50 and I've been spending 2 years working on it

>>529024950
ideas don't make money
execution of good ideas does

you can't even make a finished game and as such your ideas are worthless
you're just like all the other shitposters in this general failing to execute on their oh so great ideas and every year turning a little bit more schizo as a result

sometimes it feels like people enjoy video games, but not playing them
if that makes sense
like they treat video games as an interactive museum, or a casually interactive movie, rather than an experience to become deeply invested in
i say this because black myth wukong is the biggest selling singleplayer game of recent time, but only ~30% of players actually completed it
baldur's gate 3, ~20%
cyberpunk 2077, ~35%
elden ring, ~20%
hogwarts legacy, ~25%
days gone, ~30%
stray, ~40%
god of war, ~50%
dragon's dogma 2, ~20%

the majority of gamers don't actually finish video games
they play the first 3 hours of them, get bored, and go back to scrolling social media

if you want money, design your game to be easily promoted and impulse purchased

>>529026498
Half of them are way too fucking long, imagine watching a 40 hour movie.

Just remember, it only takes $500k of revenue to put into US treasury bonds, which, at 4% will yield $20k/year, which you can live off of comfortably in a B-tier European country like Poland for the rest of your life. All it takes is to release a half decent game that a major vtuber plays once.

>>529025729
I mean you could in theory have a good idea while failing to build it, not because it's impossible to build but because the person trying to do it is failing for one reason or another. I'm not opposed to that possibility but there's no game as long as you don't build it. What does it matter if the idea is good when there's no game.

>>529024950
Anon, be careful about ur ideas
i speak as >>529020379
There exists a thing called "noosphere" where your thoughts and ideas go to, someone in this world has the ability to siphon and purposefully excavate ideas from there, I think the rich and their puppets are able to do this. I have seen numerous of my ideas stolen and come out as Steam released/upcoming games, but in very regurgitated lesser forms

>>529026498
The ideal video game length as you get older is something like 5-10 hours.
There are so many games I want to play (like Metaphor and Dogma 2) but I realize it's going to be a 50+ hour time commitment and I only have ~10 hours per week to play video games.

>>529026613
>imagine watching a 40 hour movie.
People do that all the time. There are TV shows that has 4 seasons.
Maybe more video games need to have "episodes"

>>529026498
Most people struggle from self-inflicted ADT as a result of their doomscrolling brain melting mobile addiction. As such they struggle to do anything that takes longer than their minuscule attention span can handle.

>>529026498
the reason is gameplay loops
you can only loop so much for some people. give me shorter games with less repetition

>>529026331
My goal is to become 2018 cris.

>>529026498
That happens because the vast majority of players are roleplayers and explorers, not killers.

Killers are like 10-20% of all gaymers, and they mostly play pvp games.

The people that actually want to play a game for it's story are the roleplayers and they're casual as fuck.

Trying to make a complex story with a complex combat is missing the understanding of player psychology.

killers are happy with an arcade mode where they can do motion inputs with 3 characters and frame perfect cancels to dodge 0.00001% of 1KO hits.

roleplayers are happier with a Visual novel.
explorers want is a huge map with a pokedex to find some random pokemon hidden in a secret part of the map.
archievers want to collect all the hidden coins of the game.

>>529026857
Games with less repetition are harder to make. The more unique content you need to make as a dev the longer you're gonna take.

>>529025092
Thanks anon. Before I knew aggy daggy existed I tried to start an amateur dev thread on /v/. Among the /v/irgins telling me to kms there were a few people that told me to come here and one guy even asked me about some of my game ideas. I told him a few and he did this long post (2019 or 2020 so no, it wasn't AI) giving detailed feedback on my ideas and told me that he could tell I was gonna make it. 5 years later, still not much to show for it. Heh. I screen capped his post because I'm just that starved of encouragement but I must have deleted it.

>>529025159
No million dollar ideas, nor even 100k+. I'll give you one of my shittier 10k+ ideas. Something that the Simulator Games meme might push to relative success through sheer autism of the sim players. A surprisingly deep spearfishing game with a basic story and shit loads of fish species to hunt, hazards like great whites/tigers/bull sharks to look out for. Replay value by starting out in shallow waters with snorkel, win competitions to get prize money, upgrade to scuba systems to go deeper and deeper. Customise boat. Cull invasive species for conservation. Find neat collectibles to add some more Steam achievements, like on ocean floor there might be Dutch treasure chests, China porcelain, native cultural knickknacks, clues of the existence of ayylmaos. Play as male or female, give the female a banging body, different outfights with photo mode.

>>529026201
I'm being facetious and self deprecating for comedic effect. I did at least submit 2 demos here, both given good constructive feedback. Woulda been 3 except for a bug I couldn't fix and didn't want to submit a zombie FPS where the zombies don't damage the player once the Unity project is published (works in the editor).

>>529026838
the issue is video games require effort and focus, while tv shows or movies you can put on in the background and doom scroll
i really think video games aren't as appreciated as people make them seem
you have the isolated spergs who love singleplayer games, the hypercompetitive psychopaths who love pvp games, the estranged extroverts who love co-op/pve games, and the literal children who enjoy raw stimulation (they're already captured by roblox)

if your game doesn't appeal to one of these groups, your potential audience is already occupied scrolling social media

>>529026838
See that's a novel idea, because Valve and Telltale used to get me really hooked into a story that way in the 2000s and early 2010s.

While programming can be completely outsourced and done by other people, art is difficult but can be learned, and also done by hiring artists
Writing seems to be where most of the soul and interest of your game lies, and writers seem like fucking practitioners of god damn dark magic to me. How do you write even half well, I have no fucking clue.

100% truth, i'm a "killer" and i literally only play pvp games
i try singleplayer games and get bored almost immediately, even if they're difficult, because the challenge of defeating an AI NPC is always lower than defeating another competent human being
the explorers, socializers, and achievers, are busy playing popular triple-A story games, scrolling social media/discord, or grinding idle games

it's extremely important to understand who your audience is, good post

if you ever wonder why friendslop is so popular, it's because it has the biggest audience by a large margin
if you really need money, make social experiences, not games
gamers are busy, they're small in number and preoccupied with extensive backlogs

but socializers? they're fucking bored, man
they're a passionate audience

money, and good games

we have lots to talk about

>>529026663
Not that anon, but I'd argue that people only think they have a great idea in that case. Because as you attempt to build it, you realize you need to adjust things, some parts of the idea are not feasible, or just not that good in practice.

Like to put it in a simple architecture parallel, I have a great idea for a palace, and I might never be able to build that palace because it is not a one man job.
If I did though, I might realize that towers that high are just too expensive to maintain, or it is ridiculously expensive to keep it warm in the winter, or the air is too humid for the mahogany pieces to be around for a century. I would adjust and only learn these problems as I came across them, even if I already was a competent architect.

>>529027660
why is black man the killer

>>529027665
To continue on that, this is why ideas are nigh-impossible to steal, because they are like a puzzle. And when it turns out part of that puzzle doesn't work, only the original creator of that idea knows how to change it to stay faithful to the spark of the idea.

>I'm responding to literally said he has 3 million ideas that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
No dipshit, read it again. I said I have no less than "3 multi-million dollar game ideas". That is to say, 3 game ideas that, when published and presented to the general public, would have a good chance of making 1 million dollars plus in revenue. Try comprehension some time.

Diablo II was a highly social game. It had PVE which is also a big market. Some jank pvp. Really the perfect balance that catered to all. Then Diablo 3 and 4 are like, what if we removed all that shit, and just made it a single player only game basically?

>>529028423
No AI. No watch.

Huh? No one plays games? I've gotten like 4 people playing my demo today though, sure they only play for 20 minutes... but.... ah fuck it I give up.

>>529027113
What is referred to as "Writing" is actually "Storytelling", and it's true, there is no one silver bullet for it. There are many kind of stories, and it is complicated further by the fact that there are many kind of audiences as well. I suggest you pick the easiest story with 3 parts. Things have a way of complicating themselves from then on.

The medium is also really important. What works for a book, movie, or series, doesn't really work for games. "Ludonarrative" as a term have been ran into the ground by online retards, but it's true. Gameplay and narrative gotta have some connection, or the very least no contradictions.

>>529028327
Anon what the fuck do you think a video game is? Maybe ignore 99% of the fun shit and just go play Jon Blow's next puzzle game. PURE ENTERTAINMENT only. Hundreds of hours of nothing but puzzles, no dopamine to be found!

You're giving out (You)s instead of working on a game. Pathetic.

>>529028456
It's better to simplify it like a NES sprite with mostly 5-6 main colors, and then a basic single shadow line of darker pixels.

It would be better if you trace this sprite by hand on a newer layer.

32x32 sprites are always better if you retouch them by hand later.

>>529028683
I'm just here to distract you from your goals. I don't even have a game.

>>529027665
>but I'd argue that people only think they have a great idea in that case
That is the case with a lot of inexperienced or wannabe gamedevs but once you're capable of thinking about game ideas on a practical level you can come up with ideas that are realistic to be made even if they're outside the scope of what you can make.

>>529027936
Hard disagree. It is possible for others to grasp the essence of the idea, sometimes others do it better than the original idea haver. It isn't uncommon for someone to take the idea of some unsuccessful or lesser known game and do it on a better level resulting in a better and more successful game. Idea wasn't lacking but the one who made it into a game failed at making it as good as it could be.

>>529028456

These player types are only meant to be used for MMORPGs.

is releasing a shitty game still an accomplishment?

>>529029037
Nta, the original, the point is, if you're poor, and your only ideas can't generate income in reality, then you aren't having good ideas. I mean I can think of an idea right now that would outsell stardew valley. Give me 1 billion, I'll buy bitcoin with it. Come back in 4 years, I now made a billion dollars. A billion dollar idea! And now I can wait 4 years and see if I was right. But it's stupid.

You're not Alexander who is given an Army at 19 when your father died. You have to be like Ghengis Khan who started with nothing. You just get to invade Persia day 1.

Finishing a game is an accomplishment but if you released a game on Steam and it failed to hit 10 reviews then you gotta start looking into why that was.

I honestly think It would be better if you make an rpg maker with custom art and without combat, and let the game be closer to an interactive rpg maker VN.

jrpgs would be better if they simply removed the combat.

webfishing isn't even a video game and it hit 40k reviews

The guy you were replying to.

>once you're capable of thinking about game ideas on a practical level you can come up with ideas that are realistic to be made even if they're outside the scope of what you can make.
Maybe so, it's just an anecdote from me, but I always felt like you will only know what needs to be done in such a complex and long-term project, if you are already half-way in it. We can disagree though.

>It isn't uncommon for someone to take the idea of some unsuccessful or lesser known game and do it on a better level resulting in a better and more successful game.
I would argue that that point they've made their own idea, based on someone else's. Instead of straight up pirating it. But maybe we disagree on how far an "idea" is defined.

my issue is more that I want to separate games made for killers versus games made for roleplayers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=551xFRgnNng

It's pointless to try to make a game like kof 2002 third strike of orochi to "appeal" to roleplayers, and adding story elements would ruin the dish.

Combat in rpgs is bad, and to me trying to make a hardcore "jrpg" is like trying to make a game for killers in a genre they don't play.

It doesn't work.
And therefore is better to remove something meant for arcade gamers, than to force roleplayers to do something they don't enjoy.

What I mean is that roleplayers hould have a gathering style of combat, over a hunter killer one.

Thanks. I think taking action is under rated. Seeing things through to the end. Recognizing something as a failure is fine, but eventually you need to actually act and finish something. As you act, you get better at doing so. The person who always thinks wastes years of their life. It's great to study, but it must be paired with action.

>>529036750
Because if you use strings for an animation that's used often, unity has to convert that string to a hash internally each time its called.
For instance, if you're playing the walking animation with animator.setfloat("moveSpeed", 1.0f), the string will be converted to a hash everytime this is called in update(). If you have multiple characters moving, you'll get more unnecessary conversions. just convert it and cache it to a variable, and use that variable instead of a string.

Stating the truth is not trolling.

Some people are born to be winners, some people are born to be losers. It is better for everyone if all those born to be losers know and accept the simple fact that they are doomed to failure and should not waste their limited time trying to do the physically impossible.

Steam is the most unhinged and retarded platform in existence. Even if you have 100000 wishlists they will just not make it easier for people to find your game. No matter what kind of momentum you build up it will evaporate in one second unless you have an industrial machine outside steam driving traffic at your page constantly. These people are sick

>>529041997

Being generous, maybe you're one of the winners. In that case, you need to relearn noblesse oblige. Not everyone can be high born like you.

If you're not one of the born winners, then you're just in denial. But go ahead and waste your own time. Maybe you'll eventually learn your lesson after the first few failures.

>>529042852
He's mostly right though. It's theoretically not entirely impossible for those born into a loser life to make it, but it's statistically far less probable, and practically speaking, losers will be better off spending their life doing losing things like blue collar trades. You'd be better off gambling on actual lottery tickets than gambling on gamedev.

Depends on the type of game really.
A 100 player turn based game where you only really need to sync the state of the current player's turn would be easily doable.
A 100 player Fortnite style game would probably not be possible without dedicated servers. There is just too much stuff you need to sync.

>>529045773

Most games do not use actual peer to peer because it's a headache to sync states and prevent bugs.
What they do instead is set one player as the server (usually the guy with the fastest internet) and have him handle all the server logic.

Back when I did networking we had a limit of about 10kb/second of upload for the server. Every player needs to be synced with every other player by the server (n-1). If you had 4 players (including the server) in the game:
-4 players * 3 states/network tick = 12 states
-10kb / 12 states = ~833 bytes/player

You can see how this would become a disaster as you add more players.
-100 players * 99 states/network tick = 1 byte/player

A vector (position) is about 12 bytes btw.

This is obviously a gross simplification as you don't need to update everything every network tick but there is a reason most "peer to peer" games max out at 24 players.

>>529049097
>I'm struggling learning and getting started
>I'm not completely retarded
Templates are fine if you're looking to just asset flip, or throw your own assets into those exact gameplay mechanics (no modifications). Either way, you will only be able to produce something extremely shitty and half-assed.

>>529049235
Line cook here, you don't want a job

>>529049413
This is also assuming you're accepting the incoming player's state as true btw. The n-1 can become n if the player's state is bullshit and the server needs to correct it.

>>529049097
Sure. If you're a good enviro artist then you are already 80% of the way to making a game that will generate lots of wishlists. Mess around with repurposing kits, use AI, etc. whatever to hack the systems together and then let the art be the backbone. There's a new game every month that goes viral just because the dev is a competent artist in UE5 and can make a foggy forest with a road and some vehicle with a nice spotlight with a good IES cookie on it and then something goes bump in the woods.
