The year is 2025 and the expectations for quality are higher than ever before.

Your game will run on Linux.
Your game will support controller, touchscreen, and input remapping.
Your game will display on screen input prompts.
Your game will provide graphics options.
Your game will use windowed fullscreen and not exclusive fullscreen.

>>529150361
All of the above are doable with mere clicks if you're not an enginedevtard.

disclaimer: i don't know shit, but i've been into gamedev as hobby for many years

so here is my thesis: actually trying to work with free assets as much as you can is the only real way forward as a solodev.
out of all the things i've tried it really seems like the only viable way.

good luck making games when you're in your 30s wageslaving 80 hour weeks at an amazon warehouse while trying to sustain a family, a social life, relationships, and good health
at some point you need to admit that financial viability is a necessary focus if you want to make games for the remainder of your life

>good luck making games when you're in your 30s wageslaving 80 hour weeks at an amazon warehouse
i work 20 hour weeks as a line cook and it pays my share of the house bills just fine, live in a two bedroom apartment with my best friend and only have to pay half of an extremely affordable rent
>while trying to sustain a family, a social life, relationships, and good health
My roommate and I maintain our social group very well, I can afford food and eat as well as I can, I can afford to share a gym membership with my roommate, and I can afford decent insurance out of pocket. I am fine.
Only thing I don't have that you listed is a family, which I don't need because I have my cool ass friends.
>at some point you need to admit that financial viability is a necessary focus if you want to make games for the remainder of your life
I can make games in my spare time for the rest of my life as-is, with zero production overhead because I do it all myself, in my free time, for the joy of creating art for others.
>unless you're okay with working on your game for 30 minutes a week when you're not drowning with adult responsibilities
I get a good 10-12 hours of dev time in per week, so I really don't know what youre talking about

you won't be able to sustain gamedev when you grow up and inevitably bear more responsibilities
good luck

>>529151914
>when you grow up
I turn 31 this year, dude. I'm a fully grown man, this is just how I live my life. These are the responsibilities I choose for myself. I don't want a wife or kids, I want to make cool art and hang out with my friends. I don't want to be rich, I want to be happy.

I think this is just a fundamental difference in philosophy between the two of us.

>>529151694
Oversaturation can criticize anything, Lost in Random and Savara are literally the same game and that has 0 pixels.

What is the balance between environmental exploration and combat in this game? I've always enjoyed exploring well done metroidvania environments and sometimes I think combat can get in the way of that. But if it leans too heavily on the exploration part, maybe there's nothing to really drive the gameplay loop? I don't know, just thinking out loud. Looks really nice.

>>529152778

they're just debug objects

>>529151694
It's not the art style itself that has become oversaturated, but rather, it's the types of gameplay that is most commonly represented using pixel art, such as platformers and top-down action games that have become way oversaturated. Crafty, buildy simulators still do fine, even when represented as pixel art.

Cropolution must be doing GREAT! Look how fat our boy Sasquatch is getting :)

Right one is AI using chatgpt but it looks blurry and God knows if you can make a full tileset with it.

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.

theyre both jpegged to shit you cant make out any of the intricate details that would help to actually figure that out. they could very well both be AI but if i had to pick one id say the left tree based solely on the way the clusters of color on the tree top look
>>529153695
i want to put more attention on combat than a typical metroid game but thats more so because the movement is fast paced and you have free aim, it would be way too easy if i didnt make enemies more intricate than your typical metroid game

>>529154401
Why would you think that? When it can handle all kinds of traditional styles, and now do all kinds of video as well, you think there's some magical barrier around pixel art for some reason?
I don't have any saved but I've seen some good stuff. Also could probably even have it be "proper" pixel art by integrating it with running a python script and having it give specific values for each pixel. At that point it would be essentially indistinguishable from a similar human process. Could limit the palette as well.

However using AI code does have its downsides.

With AI code you will likely not understand what you are doing and gain little experience coding, so when you run into some major bug or something you will have no idea how to debug it if it is something that the AI cannot do.
AI for assets make your game slop, AI for code makes your code trash.

Speaking of AI, anyone got some good prompting tips for UI elements? Struggling there. My background and character prompting has become quite good over the months I've been working on it, but UI is eluding me recently.

This isn't Breakout. You just shoot and don't have to return the balls. It's really just a twin stick shooter in a hallway with block breaking instead of enemies.

>>529161167
meme-y but real. You know what I mean. The audience of games like VS, Balatro, and Nubby's. People tired or stressed who just want to relax and get dopamine while not being too challenged.

I don't want to be making games that will take me more than a year. So it's going to be either some form of slop or something "innovative" like Papers Please or A Difficult Game About Climbing or A Game About Digging A Hole or Your Only Move Is Hustle.
The problem is I don't have unconventional ideas. All my game ideas are basically combinations of:
- game from 1992 but zoomers won't know about it
- dumbed down version of a popular game
- only one mechanic from a popular game

Honestly what agdg simply needs to make is a game that is just points go higher.

also remember to add some risk and reward because just having no consequences of failure simply creates boredom after 10 minutes of play.

Just add an infinite cheap low risk long machete to cut that requires more button presses and is slower.

And add a high risk axe that doesn't work unless you properly time the hits, but can cut faster.

And add a timer so the game doesn't last forever.

Honestly what /agdg/ needs is less catposts

>>529162057
no just less cr*s

what went wrong?

zombie-like survival game where cute anime girls try to have sex with you. if they can grab you and make sex, they'll become pregnant and will breed a demon and that demon will be hard to beat and will chase you around.
you constantly have to hide and avoid being spotted by them. some of them are in big groups called harem groups. if they catch you they'll breed a demon boss.
and yes the game is perma-death so be aware, it sounds like fun to have sex but the demon will be very strong.

How big is the community for 2d side scroller games? Only looked for hentai ones but they usually don't have any mechanics other than run and click button. Do these steam 2d niggets innovate anything?

You didn't mention how do you kill these succubus and demons? Also would be cool if you isoolate a hoe and grab her or trap her and you do the sexing you'll get points or xp

Unless you're Silksong, nobody cares. For every one side-scroller of any nature that makes it, about 200 don't.

you are a twink. you cannot level up. you are too cute so they want to sex with you. all you can do is hide in houses in the post-apocalyptic world roamed by those nymphs.

We actually have a few projects at the moment; why dont you drop your discord tag for more info?

Let's play a fun theory game.
If you were going to make a game from scratch, starting today, and you wanted the MOST likely profit on Steam with the LEAST amount of effort, what would you make? Not about whether you LIKED what you produced, purely for monetisation purposes.

Seems kind of delusional to me, are there any success stories of people with that sort of background? I don't want to put him down, but at the same time I don't think giving him positive reinforcement here is a good idea

>>529167943
If I wanted to maximize "profit" then I would not be making a game at all, period. Not because of any moral reasons. Games are simply not suitable for money-maxing, too much risk for too little reward.

If he had a real understanding of the scope and budget of videogames, and could pump out something like, for example, a scaled down F-Zero X (not even GX) in under six months he'd have a chance. Depends what he likes and why.

if you think you can make any objective statement about how much money you can make with a game you are fucking retarded. it all ranges from ultra-poor to ultra-rich.
actually everytime someone talks about money it's just some form of story they tell themselves to either justifying yesdev or nodev. there is no objective answer.

your game better not have a female protaggy

Reminder that these people get paid millions meanwhile, most people who actually provide the services we need, live paycheck to paycheck.

make a game where you craft weapons and the weapons are then used to kill homeless people, but the homeless people will haunt you and you'll go insane and you craft more and more insane weapons and the homeless people become more and more scary. and you can fuck the female hobos.

why hobos though

Made this medieval style book wheel thing and also some monks who live in the library.
I need to go back into Blender and fix the edges for the beard guy's moustache so it doesn't draw an outline on it.

I'm kind of getting sick of the character template I'm using. It makes creating new characters really easy, but even the more unique ones look too similar to the rest. I have a slightly better template I'm working on, but I can't use it for this game :(

>>529170449
>repeating the same criticism that e-prostitutes in internet makes more money than surgeons doesn't make you a commie that the commies that say that
you're a commie because commies always love to manage the money of others.

And then It becomes a totalitarian shithole where your life is micromanaged by the state like China.

Commies don't like how americans are so wealthy they can waste 1 million on whores, so they rather make 3k usd per month and be taxed 70% of their income so inmigrants can access better living conditions for free.

>>529170792
>And then It becomes a totalitarian shithole where your life is micromanaged by the state like China.
Communism is a stateless system, try again nigger.
As defined by Marx: A stateless, classless, moneyless society.

make a game where you mine stone and bring the stone to the pyramid and they build the pyramid with your stone

>>529170967
>classless
lol

>>529171051
sounds like call of duty.

>>529171131
Yes, that is how Marx defined it. Stateless, classless, moneyless. Think about the root of the word: what is a commune? Communes are traditionally anarchist social structures, no? And they tend to be decommodified? Hence... stateless, classless, moneyless?

I know, English is hard, I'll walk you through it though :)

>>529170792
> you're a commie because commies always love to manage the money of others.
> manage money of others
So it's communism if I try to manage money of others by telling them to avoid e-celebs.
But it's capitalism if a company uses algorithm, propaganda, clickbait, advertisement, without their consent?

>>529171293
>classless
lol, go back to moderate the cord

make an mmorpg where the server resets every week and the goal is to kill all monsters on the server. every week they got time to do it.

>tfw communism is a moneyless system yet commies somehow "love to manage the money of others"
we dont even believe in money, blud!
