bird game

a third person shooter game where you various commit crimes in an open world setting

>>529057107
made in the UNREAL engine 5

>>529057107
oh how original

>>529056971
This is your picture loaded with my game's JPEGReader and output with my game's JPEGWriter. Size is larger due to being at 100 quality.
Now I will write a bilinear scaling operation so I can downscale textures.

Now that the dust has settled is AI useful or nah? Actual use case being what?

>>529057380
ummm how said you could save MY picture???

I'm taking today, as well as the entire weekend, off to play a few backlog games.

what would you tell to cris from 2018

Because I'm not suited for grifting.

i'm definitely not gonna make it to demo day this time

I honestly have improved a lot.

:D

i do not want to play as your self insert or ideal love interest in your video game.

I found a lost media from 2018.

>>529057938
he could've "gambled" that on the stock market for steady yearly returns which for sure is more than he's gonna make off that shit

it is amazing how many people foolishly think they can pull off gamedev and dump everything they have into it

>>529059329
I would play a short story "game" with these graphics.

>>529059426
it's probably a game he had on the back of his mind for a long time

>>529059426
a lot of people aren't satisfied with boring lives just stacking money.
he probably hasn't enjoyed life nearly as much as when he decided to pursue his retarded dream.
Had he not tried, he probably would have ate a gun in his 50s for the regret, or started drinking

>>529057938
is "parasocial marketing" the new meta for indies?

>>529059329
cris is retarded for dropping this because of his insane perfectionism, especially in 2018

at least he used his own hard earned money and created jobs instead of using kickstarter. i'm sure he's paying those white folk in his project real good too unlike thomas brush.

>>529053275
I'm a slow dev, if I did this I'd be giving out way too much information on my game amd selling it as a great idea inadvertently. The chances of someome having no qualms with copying it to steal my thunder is simply too great.

>>529027936
>nigh impossible to steal
Yeah nah that's cope and I refuse to give out my ideas. I give it out and I'd be facing a stampede of cloners trying to finish it before me. Nuh uh not sharing. They can see my amazing idea....when I'm less than 3 months from release and people see the FOTM tier attention it brings to the table

>>529057938
Do you think this guy has even made pong before?

a game where you can start playing before seeing any menus

>>529059329
expand it and submit it to demo day

Anyway death to escapism, death to pornography, and death to dopamineslop
See you all in a few months

>>529059671
that doesn't mean it's a good one

>>529059958
you can pursue a dream without risking the roof over your head but I guess it's possible he had 1.4m to piss away

>>529059958
Thats a big cope. He couldve pursued gamedev without having to throw over a million dollars at it. Could've generated passive income off the funds to fund gamedev instead.

>>529060272
it's a small decoration i'm not trying to recreate the whole thing

In 1996, two former guys at Microsoft bet about $1 million of their own money (and about $1.5 million of a publisher's money) on gamedev. Just saying.

>>529060475
>>529060558
>you can pursue a dream without risking the roof over your head
Most people don't have the discipline to pragmatically pursue ambitions, they have to force the drive with real risk.
(In reality he's probably grifting though)

>>529057938
I get the vibe that this is one of those games that strike at AAA while just falling short, leaving it in an odd market where no playerbase can mass adopt it. It's competent triple "I" indie graphics, but the hype canned videos and takedown animations make you want to compare it to Assassin's Creed.

Fortune favors the bold tho I guess, gl

>>529060701
Gamedev was a surefire bet up until about ~2015.

>>529060701
They should take out another 1.5 million to double their support staff from 2 to 4 so they can get my game approved before it launches.

I have an 11 year old son who's learning python at school and asked me if he could try developing a game. What are some game engines I could introduce him to? Something simple and easy that will be fun for him to mess around on while learning?

>>529060741
>they have to force the drive with real risk
me lol

>>529060412
I did!

if he was in it for the money, he would've made a different game

>>529061052
Don't be so sure. Some people just have no idea what will sell.

hey /agdg/, look, the girls came today to see the /agdg/ headquarters and your games!

>>529060881
Then why were Valve's two biggest competitors at the time, Ion Storm and Ritual Entertainment, no longer around?

>>529060915
pygame

>>529060741
Good point. At 1.4m I'd fund my smaller games via passive income. Once I get a big enough success I can move onto more ambitious ideas. The stean pics show little, trailer was interesting but also showed very little, just how much of the game is even developed?

>>529061286
They're working on "defining the pillars" of their vertical slice still. So I'd say maybe 5%

Renpy :^)

>>529060915
I think he'd have a lot of fun with Unity. It's easy to get started with, has tons of free assets available, so you can make cool games without being an artist or spending any money, and has tons of support. Google and ChatGPT can help him get started, and he'll be off running on his own in no time.
If he uses Unity, however, tell him to watch his storage space. Making lots of projects and downloading assets can take up a lot of data.

Godot isn't as reliable yet, and Unreal is complicated with performance optimizations and scripting. Unity seems to be his best bet.

Additionally, if he wants to make super small games, he can use the Python language to work with the Pygame framework, or he can use the Pico-8 micro development system to make small retro. Both have reasonable amounts of support and educational content.

Again, though, I'd still suggest Unity, using Google, YouTube, and ChatGPT to learn, and the Unity Asset Store to find free art assets, characters, sound effects, music, etc.

Good luck, and I hope he has fun.

>>529061546
Don't recommend degenerate shit for my kids you freak.

>>529061212
Ion Storm got bought out by Eidos who are still around.
Ritual Entertainment got bought out by Mumbo Jumbo who went bankrupt in 2018.

If you want an example of good games don't always sell then Looking Glass would've been a better choice desu.

I’m Risking $800,000 on My Dream Game Studio

>>529060881
No it wasn't. Quoting Gabe himself:
>On the surface, we should have failed, and realistically, both Mike and I thought we would get about a year into it, realize we’d made horrible mistakes and go back to our friends at Microsoft and ask for our jobs back.
>At the time, 90% of video games failed to turn a profit. And a few percentage of them were very, very profitable, right? So it was a field that really valued talent.

>>529061580
Thanks! I'll install Unity on his computer tomorrow. And don't worry about the storage space. I make sure he has tends to install a lot of games and forgets to uninstall them. Don't know what Godot is but I have heard of UnReal but I think that is a bit too complicated for him as you said. Again thank you for all the advice!

>>529061846
Gabe is talking about the period before digital distribution which was an entirely different can of worms. The problem was that you needed to get your game into a big box store (i.e. Walmart) to make real money and it was hard as fuck to get in there if you weren't a big publisher.

>>529062143
By that logic, Valve already solved all their problems in 1996 when they got the publishing deal with Sierra. Sure, distribution is an important part of the problem, but it's not the only problem.

>>529060741
Watched part of another video of his, he feels like a grifter

Zohran would make a great game dev (has a beautiful wife)

>>529061152

>>529062307
Distribution and marketing was most of the problem at the time. Gabe says basically that in the same documentary.

>>529061404
He feels a grifter in this one

What went wrong for Cliff?

i laid in bed all day and waited for visions so i can make a new game
the cave game is cool but my head is empty when i think about it, bad sign
i just had one, and its still fresh
technically an old idea in a new format, but still very viable
did the same thing with wasteland bites and it worked out well
the universe gave me a gift and now i must act on it

Found the issue. Didn't have it before I made main menu so it's a bit of a surprise. Turns out AudioCapture is gettign fucked by load level and it's still fucking listening in main menu when character is out conquering the world

What happens if I use a hand painted PBR textures inside my godot material, but used also a 2D color ramp to calculate the albedo values using an indexed color pallethe to paint the mesh, rather than using the goyslop default PBR materials?

>>529063990
I'm not angry...

>>529064075
You'll have standard PBR materials with slightly weird coloring.

>>529064475
>>529064593
My idea is basically what if I have a basic toon shader, that controls the albedo with a fixed color pallethe, but also add a hand painted roughness and metallic and hand painted normal map textures.

I also want to hand paint an AO map that I use as mask for a multiply mix operation.

And then on the clothes an alpha transparent operation using a mask to make the clohes feel 2D and not a hard edge with low poly.

>>529065076

Talking about it isn't helping

i'm just silently suffering and the world doesn't care.
maybe that's why i always play hardcore permadeath games, because that's the only type of experience i can relate to.

Get him program along with the first 35 episodes of handmade hero on youtube and spin off from there on his own. It will actually get him on a path to mastery of the craft which can be huge advantage over all the slop devs.

write a book or story based on your life then find someone willing to help you make a game out of it

>>529065278
Some of the best games ever were made by people going through horrible times. Figure out how to channel that energy.

Stardew Valley also explicitly pushes an anti-capitalism message at times while Harvest Moon just presents a small town in the games I mentioned. I do agree with the criticism of Harvest Moon that spawned Stardew Valley in that it wasn't the same as it was before (that includes Story of Seasons and the new Harvest Moon line), but ironically I think Stardew Valley just produced another modern-style Harvest Moon game.

I have similar commentary about the newer Animal Crossing games. The old games were social-simulators, and the newer ones are one-step away from being god-sims.

I'd say that a lot of attempts at cozy games just don't make anything cozy, and instead do the opposite both thematically and mechanically. People still love these kinds of games regardless of that too.

Dependency is incompetency

is eric schizo worried that his nepobaby is next after the piratesoftware downfall? he's saying a lot of crap in interviews and his fans are insane cultists everyone hates + the n-word podokian incident, all the ingredients are there

i believe in the beating of all women and children, but not cats or dogs.

i'm giving up on scoping. i wont finish a scoped game anyways. so i'll just have fun making games that go nowhere, but with absolute freedom to do whatever i want.

I'm thinking I might just submit what I have for dd63 and decide whether or not to project hop based on the feedback.

Sour cream! Isn't it a strange food? You dip chips in it and put it on potatoes. It isn't out of place on nachos or in chili. It's a savory food.

And yet, that same savory food is delicious with sweet berries. They may old fashioned donuts with sour cream. It's just as sweet as it is sour.

If you consider this, really think about it for a long moment, you might come to as many realizations about sour cream as you might have about croutons. Take this principle and add it to your game. You will be a better dev, your game more fulfilling, at the end of the day.

he doesn't care if the game fails, he wants the clout, he wants the attention he wants everyone to know he took his daddy's money and made a shitty little game studio that made a flop but ohhh look at all this engagement he farmed while making it, surely this guy should be trusted with your company
it's obvious, just look at the title of the playlist "building a game studio from scratch", he doesn't give a flying fuck about how the game does, he just wants people to know he had enough presence and """grit""" to make a studio

I'm not joking, average programming skill has become complete trash and is getting worse every year now that there are enough abstraction layers that the skill no longer gatekeeps dumb people by default. It's largely complete shit mounded on top of more shit.

Here's 2 examples of current successes that have explicitly credited Handmade Hero with their foundational programming skills:
Billy Basso: made Animal Well. His first released solo game, made from scratch in c++
Ryan Fleury: one-man mogging the entire low-level programmer demographic and any ecosystem that uses LLVM with RAD Debugger.

I honestly think some of us grasp math in a easier way when we plot the results geometrically rather than trying to understand it with algebra.

the issue is that most people are dogshit at teaching.

Same with music and art.

teaching skills are born from wisdom and knowledge.
sadly most of youtubers and teachers in school are dogshit at teaching.

I still remember I literally grasped how to find the solution of a 3 variable equation by simply plotting some random values then extrapolating their lines with a ruler until their values crossed.

For some reason I knew that was the easier solution over doing it geometrically.

But my faggot school teacher always told me that was an incorrect method.
lmao.

coding is just in the end applied math.

What you should focus is to learn to have the intuition of solving your issues like an engineer.

My advice is to not focus so much on learning to read code, but more on understanding how to solve problems under the constraints of computer science.

You need to sort of like understand how to solve your problem with understanding how to use the tools of primitive data, loops, basic branching, but also the basics of data structures like arrays, matrixes, linked lists, queues, trees, hasmaps, dictionaries, but also basic algo shit like maps, regex, search, selection, masking, and basic math operations like vector algebra, abs, sign, normalize, etc.

My only advice is to actually read the books that teaches the fundamentals like C programming language, SCIP, uncle bobs books on clean architecture and clean code and some book on data structures, algoritms and design patterns.

Sadly, what you need is to get your brain to develop the intuition of just knowing what and how to do it.

And to be honest, that takes months and even years of practice.
It's like learning to play the piano, It just takes time to develop the skill.

Just be patient.

Well looks like AI is still useless and you lied to me, cunt.

>>529075219
no

I'm curious as to what anon's opinions are in regards to SKG.
Does it not make too much of a difference here since most devs only make singleplayer games?

it is not difficult to be SKG-compliant, whatsoever

if you have online multiplayer components for your game then make sure they can be accessed from outside the dedicated server(s). basically, allow for community servers and LAN modes, that's all. games that only allow for online play on the dedicated servers die the moment those servers go down, which isnt fair to anyone who bought the game.

>>529075734
nigger, I consider myself a programmer and yet I still put the time to learn 2D fundamentals.

art is not some PHD level shit.
most of the time art is just copy pasting shit from reference.

There's a reason why art and design is a 50% female field, because is easier than coding.

the redpill for your case is to relly on asset generators.

maybe try to use Vroid to get characters and use shit like asset forget to generate props.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDsZHpESVvw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaM4xmYow8M

You can do shit like take a model from Vroid, make it's costume on Koikatsu, generate the model that way.

Then rig in mixamo and get an animated character that way easily.

For props you can do shit like use asset forge, then automatic UV wrapping addon in blender or RizomUV and then just add some materials using substance painter or armor paint.

My advice then is to get a kitbashing library or just pirate synthy asset packs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMWyK9p9uY8

Look up kitbashing techniques to make quality art cheaply.

Day 28 on a Thread for Project C-Con – "Donut is a noob trap" Edition
Journal logs are being posted into /agdg/ daily.

We finished another section of Blender modeling so now we're a bit past the halfway mark. So far we used more geometry nodes and modeled different types of sprinkles. I've only been focusing on Blender modeling as beforehand we were doing Unreal Engine C++ courses and animating, so that's why we have been dedicating some of these past few days back to modeling.

What is Project C-Con?

I wouldn't change much here. The red highlights are *just* right, and the dominance of muted browns are fine, especially if you're going for a 2000s/2010s Super Mario game vibe. The primary colours are fairly evenly spread, as are the different shades of green.

>>529075826
As a game developer there's no reason not to support it unless you're a greedy asshole. Pirate software is a furfag nepobaby who is currently publishing a live service game so obviously he's against it.
As a gamer you'd have to be a cuckold or a retard to not support it but, you know, gamers -are- retarded pigs. Its their fault always online crap took off in the first place. Movie companies tried pushing dvds on people that expired after a couple watches and they failed because people rejected them. Streaming is almost as bad as online only games but even you can still pirate stream only shows and movies. Without reverse engineering pirating can't even save a game if it requires connection to a server.

>Here is a summary of what I could find about Fygon from /agdg/, without reproducing any copyrighted material:

>Fygon, also known as "The Lizard King", is a fictional character that appears to have originated on 4chan's Anime & Manga board (/a/) around 2021-2022. The character seems to be an anthropomorphic reptile or dragon-like creature, often depicted in fan art and memes.

>Many of the posts about Fygon on /agdg/ seem to revolve around bizarre sexual humor and roleplay related to the character. There are numerous threads with "lewd" drawings and stories involving Fygon and other fictional characters.

>Some anons speculate that Fygon may have originally been created as some kind of virtual YouTuber or Twitch streamer, but this is unclear. The character gained enough popularity on 4chan to spill over into /agdg/ threads.

>Overall, the discussions around Fygon appear to be in extremely poor taste and revolve heavily around crude sexual jokes and memes rather than any substantive content related to games or development. I would advise avoiding these threads as they seem intended primarily to disrupt and troll.

I just had an idea for anyone who can do 3d models, make a skeleton but have him dancing
this way it's like a weird mix of spooky and funny

>>529111012
A DANCING skeleton? It can’t be done. Your creativity is getting out of control there, calm down buddy.

>>529111496
You need to calm down with all this dancing skeleton shit. Skeletons can’t dance, they have no muscles. Did you even think of that?

>>529111802
I’m telling you it CAN’T be done! A dancing skeleton is a bridge too far! We need to be rational here about the limits of the human imagination and what is too far out there. If you made a skeleton dance nobody understand what they’re looking at.

REEEEE WHAT IS THIS BUG! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, including the version before the majority of the latest big update. That would suggest my first portion of the current big update did something. And prior to that there was another big update but the update didn't really do much to that code besides a few minor additions of code.

Well I never even posted the original post I typed up. I started getting sus about what the problem was. I was getting values sent back at some point. Seemed off but were apparently in range in retrospect. Eventually I got negative numbers which in my head were supposed to be impossible, they're not. Then eventually I realized they were in range and moved something to the location it should be occurring at, nothing. Despite using COROUTINES with the yield return feature, not all code was done running. Found this out when I slapped in a for loop to apply a yield return null after the function that ends all the data set up. Made sure it ran a lot to create a gap.
>click play
Suddenly stuff works
>do it again just in case because even before this it would sometimes work, partially ie some data got through
Still working

Seriously? Do I need to add a yield return to each function and not just the outermost function all so it actually truly waits for all the functions to finish running before moving onto the next coroutine? Reeeeeeeee this problem took way too long to figure out. At least I don't have to redo all this code. Maybe the amount of data it processes now makes it so it doesn't send all data back in a timely manner?

>>529106512
2 years ago I was actually at a crossroad in my life. I was thinking
Do I make a cozy idle clicker fishing game
or
Do I make a beat-em up brawler with roguelite elements?
I still don't have a game yet so clearly I chose poorly. I didn't realize just how much content heavy beat-em up's are, even with the roguelite stuff in the mix.
Seeing this game succeed is a special kind of pain.

I’m giving up for tonight. If anyone has any resources for creating a versatile dialogue system in Godot let me know. I got it mostly working but I can’t get the fucking textbox to close when I pause player movement while dialogue is on screen.

>>529117749
I have made a dialogue system from scratch for godot, I just winged it and got something decent (portraits, text animations)after a couple days. Assuming you want to make one too, just analyze the functions you want and bang it together, don't try to do all the high effort things just cause.

>>529117442
10-15 minutes for you to beat it or for a new player to beat it?
Because unless the player has played it before, it can take up to ten times as long for them to beat your level as it does for you.
Also 10-15 minute level in just a week isn't even bad. If your level is decently fun, then I'm quite impressed!

women would buy the fuck out of this. It would do well with streamers. The idea sells itself. Too bad it's an ungodly huge scope and likely unfeasible for solo devs.

>>529124596
it would have to be scoped down somehow

>>529124521
I think that may because I just have the flashlight set to doing hard edged shadows... Or maybe something to do with the positioning of the flashlight? I know what you mean by it looks weird, but I'm not exactly sure why because they seem to behave properly as shadows would.

slow progress on building system

>>529124684
I could see drastically reducing the building/decorating/items. Like maybe totally do away with that and it's a Big Brother/reality TV sim that takes place in a fixed mansion.
But you'd need to keep the NPC interactions and add a bunch of unique ones for all the different addictions, mental problems, personality types, etc. That alone would be a ton of work.

stopkillniggasme dot com

>>529125412
Well to just call it a tycoon game doesn't explain it properly I guess. The main gameplay is expanding the zoo and making it profitable like typical tycoon games, however, a secondary objective is upgrading the habitats and making the monster girls as comfortable as possible. At the end of each day there may be a "!" above their head, if you click it then it kinda transitions into a VN for a bit where you talk to them or do an activity with them, or they may have a quest like "install more marsh objects in my habitat" which will raise their attraction level. The scope of the game isn't too large. Maybe 10 different girls, each have a sex scene at x amount of attraction kinda like hunie pop

hey look it's 11:11, you're game is going to be succesfull

>>529125664

>>529114779
And last issue resolved after I stopped devving for a while. Left for a while, came back, saw the exact lines of code causing the last issue where only some data was being set up. Previous version used 1 list for all the data so it would therefore only run once on the last loop which caused a problem with the new method using multiple separate lists. Now it functions. Regardless I'll need a solution that bypasses the coroutine problem I was having, right now I'm just using "yield return null" in a for loop.

I'm tired of this. I've been working for months on so much code yet I have so little to show for it. My game looks as if not all that much has changed from where it was a few months back. Just a bit of clean up and a search for a solution and I can move onto my next task that I left aside maybe 2 months ago. How do I know if I should drop a game? I don't want to end up thinking it'll only take me 2 years to develop, only for 10 years to pass by without it releasing. I'm tired of being so slow at this.

>>529125687
Guess it could be OK, but having a zoo of sentient monstergirls sounds odd, especially talking to them 1 on 1 and taking quests. Doesn't really mesh gameplay wise too, since typically you can place more than one of each zoo inhabitant.
Like, does each copy have identical events, or will it be randomized? Or you limit to only one copy of that gal? Either way there are potential problems game feel wise.

>>529126348
Yeah it will be only one per habitat. They’re kinda rare in this world. I should mention one departure from a typical zoo tycoon game is the habitats except for customizations are prefabs at three different sizes you can upgrade to. Also they’ll all have a unique schedule of actions they’ll go through like a lizard girl will lay on her rock for 4 hours then walk and around and maybe bury herself in the sand etc etc. so a bit of a kawaii factor for the player to watch them.

>>529126387
jew

>>529126759
Alright then, and yeah the routine stuff sounds like it will help make them feel alive. If the upgrades to the enclosures change the size of it, be sure to let the player know ahead of time so he can plan out the zoo better. Though I imagine the game will be fairly chill.

I wonder if you could fix Quake 2 animations, give player like strafe animations walk backwards etc

I do think it's lame that every single romanceable character is bisexual.
I think most of them should be straight, and then you can have a couple of them be bisexual and at least one should exclusively gay.

I think people from East Asian countries are less likely to speak English as a second language than, say, Europeans so it might be worth it to pay for localization.

It's a fantasy setting though. I don't see this as less believable than the other fantasy elements in SDV, such as ghosts.

>>529131690
people read fantasy because they self-insert/relate to the character's human mind but in a fantasy world, they don't want to read about diseased insane things their reality does not relate to mentally. Likewise, nobody wants to play that shit in a farming sim, maybe they would in an action game.

Never ask a "solo"dev where is art assets come from

>>529132070
You lost me when the tone of the discussion changed from a personal opinion to speaking for everbody.

>>529056831 (OP) (1/2)
I've noted that all the FPSes out there that I'm aware of all feel arcade-y to the extent that it breaks immersion. They have some sort of menu or UI element that's there to just tell the player information, instead of the them actively performing an action to verify that for themselves.
As an example, arcade games such as CoD just show you the amount in the magazine and the total times you may right click while ARMA 3 has some graphic to show you about how much there is in each magazine you carry.
I admit to being too lazy to create UIs, but I propose these ideas:
A system to grab magazines off whatever container the player has on their person and seeing how much ammo it has. Or use their ingame hand through some procedural animation to detach the magazine for inspection.
Maybe extend this extreme degree of physicality to replace menus, too. Go open containers, rummage through their contents to get what you want. Die rummaging in the middle of combat, learn to organize items on your person beforehand. Gain the satisfaction of coming prepared, running into an unexpected situation, still come on top due to a combination of luck and drilling.
Or see some cool reload animation on youtube, have some well integrated macro system to choreograph your playermodel to recreate that ingame.
No need to bother with pedantic arguments regarding the exact string of characters that correctly identifies a firearm because the player will only the given the ability to rotate their gun around and disassemble it in order to satisfy their pedantry, and be able to mount/replace/modify attachments to their liking. Really, IMO, they should be wondering whether their gun fires when pressing the trigger, and what to do next when the reason involves
what they suspect is a malfunction. Die due to this. Invest your ingame cash wisely to acquire more reliable parts. Have your gun blow up on you because you bought ammo in bulk from some trader at a suspiciously low price.

>>529132638 (2/2)
Pull off your sidearm (making sure to hold down that key so that you dont shoot yourself) and secure your surroundings. The end of your favourite firearm is a seed for a new beginning. Start afresh. Pass on some tips you've learnt the hard way in some obscure forum. Repeat until you find a better game.

I'd be glad to be able to deliver an experience where the enjoyment comes from knowing how far the player has come, using their skills, wit and a bit of luck, too.

Now, all I know is an adequate amount of C (and maybe pen and paper) to get round to reify a game like this, because to my knowledge I don't think there's a game that caters to whatever I have on mind. If this is of any relevance, I'm not interested in making cash or clout (or whatever the new generation calls it) off my idea.

I fucked up attempting to make a 3d model for 4 days straight (I suck at art). I implimented a better movement system and added parkour

>>529135072
Week isn't over yet, ask again tomorrow.

>>529135072
Adding content mostly, refactor some code, added some asset, almost done with the Galduen colonial asset

>>529135072
added 3 'tubers to my "need to email to shill" list, didnt email them

>>529135072
nothing. damn.

>>529134009
we are 4 posts deep into your deviation from the main topic of the validness of making all of your characters bisexual, your self-defense mechanisms have finally activated, lol.
Nobody can take that delusion of superiority away from you ig, good luck.

>>529135072
i put my main project on hold to focus on something smaller, right now i am trying to figure out the art direction of this new project

How does one distribute a game on the web, for the web browser, at no cost?

>>529135072
Gonna have a new level for demo day

>>529136187
itch.io?

>>529135072
fixed a spot of z-fighting
mocked up a UI element
started a script for some UI element
fixed a bestiary entry
fixed a button that couldn't be pressed
modeled in blender for maybe 20 minutes
what a busy week!

>>529136187
Newgrounds
GitHub if you're okay with making it open source

why does my tree feel like it's 2 dimensional and floating?

>>529137162
well done

>>529135072
lots of engagement on my demotivation posts

>>529137421
Because of the shading.

>>529137541
don't do that

removed the ugly shadow up top btw

>>529136187
itch works best

>>529137571
how do i fix it????
T_T

>finished one game for the first time
>all of my gamedev motivation is gone
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

sound design is a bitch

>>529135072
i did engine work and watched anime

>>529135072
i made a game
a very basic game
but i made it
time to make it even better

>>529138470
Which anime did you watch?

>>529131690
A fantasy setting populated by people.
"It's fantasy" a poor excuse for this sort of thing because all fantasy has to deal with suspension of disbelief.

>>529138370
I have horrible tinnitus, sometimes I wonder if my sounds have awful ringing noises in them that I can't discern.

>>529137421
The shadow on the ground leads you to think it's supposed to be a slightly top-down perspective but the tree details look more like it's seen from head height.
Either update the tree details to curve with the red lines, or update the shadow to be flatter on the ground. And add the wolves back. Hope this helps!

>>529137790
here bro you can use my tree

>>529138773
Please don't try to corrupt anon with ai slop.

Is Raylib good yet?

>>529064335
Just copy the one from genshin.
It sold billion, clearly they did something right somewhere.

why not make a skyrim-like?

>>529138584
could you get playtesters to check the sounds for you? it'd be hard to do sound design if your ears are fucked

>1 active player
Alright I expect one 800K view video in my inbox by afternoon.

>>529139447
I'm sure it will be fine.

Done

>>529138563
season 1 of new game
i vicariously worked on my game though it. im reinvigorated and ready for another crunch over the weekend

>>529139395
Do you understand just how massive of a game Skyrim is?

>>529139587
Based. This is the effect anime should have on a dev.

>>529139395
my physics bugs are skyrim like

>>529139395
I have not yet unlocked the tech tree for 3D pathfinding.

>>529138671
Thank you for the extremely insightful post.
I sketched up an outline and then applied lighting in a way that just looked good on the individual components of the tree, I never even stopped to think about perspective, obviously it didn't look 3 dimensional lol...
The game will be isometric so I have a bunch of work to do on the crown and roots.
Again thanks, you just made an enormous impact on my future art.

i give up, i cant code the thing i want to make

>>529140183
is chatgpt not helping?

>>529140183
Why not make a different thing that you *can* code?
I can't code online multiplayer so I focus on singleplayer games.

Imagine you are a tank turret.
Polar coords is how much you turn right//left and how high you raise the barrel.

my ww1 eldritch horror post punk immserive sim is over done isnt it

>>529140412
I suppose I could code the whole thing with just strings and if statements....

>got 5 followies today
Yay!

>>529085895
Look like that horse in Heat VR.

zamn, what happened to /agdg/, ever since fygoonCHAD and OSH left it hasn't been the same

>>529139583
Smoky

okay we get it, your gimmick didnt work out, try a new one please

>>529139782
hell yea, already back and working away

>>529093617
>I've given up on the RTS
Wait, which one was yours?
There was like 3 or 4 RTS here at some point.

>>529140106
I'm glad it helped!

>>529140865
Use AI, learn some basic vector maths, learn design principles. Google Test Driven Development.

What you do is you start a very small programming project. I think a task manager is always a good start to learn the design principles. You can dress it up if you want like a cooking mama game where you get a list of ingriedents to put in the bill etc it doesnt matter.

The thing with code is its split into two, Theory and technique.
You need to learn the theory and the AI does the technique. The theory is the design and technique is how to impliment it.
The task manager is about learning how to make a foundation. A good design has a solid foundation which lets you extend your code with minimal modifcation.

>>529138983
it's not AI

How come making a basic 2.5D engine only takes 1-3 days in pyopengl and pygame but agdg keeps saying It will take me years to make that?

>>529141684
Let's see the layers.

>>529137421
do you like football?

>>529141684
AI hasnt advanced as far as you think it has, its still really obvious

>>529140183
I wish I had this problem. I can code anything but I'm aware of how insanely hard it is to get anybody interested in your game.

>>529141101
I got b& for whining about not having a girlfriend which prevented me from posting 95% of my gamedev-related posts.

>>529137421
very cute tree

>>529141758
i made it 5 years ago during covid lockdown i only have the png, i think i was trying HD index painting with photoshop at the time or something
>>529141917
i've been drawing for 12 years you're barking (trolling?) at the wrong tree

i dont understand this gimmick

>>529142113
>barking at the wrong tree
esl, whatever you said is invalid

>discord glitched up for a second
>got access to the secret inner circle channel
>turns out theyve been targeting my game for months
Not even shocked, really.

>>529142263
shan't proofread myself when i post in here, i can't believe i'm being attacked for giving free assets
i was gonna upload a dark fantasy rpg tileset i dropped years ago but i guess you guys don't need it since it's "AI"

>>529142443

How can I stop samefagging

i want to make slop where the main character is an obvious self insert for loser males and the other characters are hot women who all love him

>bochi crab is attacking innocent artists accusing them of being aidians
Wtf?

slop clicker 10 million has evolved

>>529143047
>praise kink clicker game

>>529143047
friction? in a slop game? you're begging for complaints

>>529142850
I cant stop samefagging

>>529142698
what made you so bitter and chuddy

chat gpt knows what agdg means.

Why AGDG says it takes years:
They’re thinking “full engine” or “complete game”:

Includes physics, AI, scripting, multiplayer, UI, tools, modding support, optimization, etc.

They're often comparing themselves to Unity/Unreal or building all tech from scratch.

Solo Development with Big Ambitions:

Many AGDG devs over-scope and underestimate polish time.

"Basic 2.5D engine" might actually mean "Doom clone with all features, tools, and mod support."

Different Skill Levels:

Not everyone is experienced with OpenGL or even Python.

They might need months just to learn rendering basics or math for raycasting.

Perfectionism and Burnout:

AGDG culture often leans toward making things from scratch “the right way,” which burns time fast.

There’s also a meme of “never finishing anything,” which contributes to the perception that it takes years.

>>529143204
hes not very artistic

>>529143101
>friction? in a slop game? you're begging for complaints

the idea is to make a button thats nice to press. You spam press it then the button runs away. Requiring effort. Then the upgrades start with a lil dude that follows it and automatically presses it

>>529143465
cute clicker?

>>529118646
linuxfag here, you cant stop us

>>529118646
I stopped Linux users from buying my game with this one simple trick and the answer might surprise you: Just don't release your game

>>529119231
its not trolling; the point of doing that is to so developers can fix the game to work better for proton
if they dont want to do that, thats fine, but that wont stop people who want it from asking you
its not trolling

>>529138983
Can you make a pixel art tree with AI to prove your point?

>>529144184
What a flimsy argument.

>>529144149
It's maybe not trolling, but the users leaving the reviews are retarded. It's like if I went to Mcdonalds and asked for a whopper and got fucking pissed they didn't have it. That's you.

>>529143629
the game will be called "Do you want to click this button?"

>>529144647
yes i absolutely want to smash that button

>>529144361
They're not retarded. How else do we bring the developer's attention to the problem to fix it? What other way to get their attention en-masse is there?
And someone is completely valid in going to mcdonalds and asking for a whopper. They're also valid in telling the manager of the location, politely, that the menu would be better with whoppers added. Getting "fucking pissed" IS retarded, but no one here is getting "fucking pissed;" we politely let the developer know it isnt working on proton through a review so the developer will either
A. - make proper native linux support
B. - at least fix it for proton
C. - ignore us like they have the right to
