Gamedev is an enigma of a hobby. The real miserable part of gamdev is selling your game, but people who are succesfull enough to retire off one game never finish another one even if it's for free.
Much to think about.
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.

Socializer -> Shitposter
Achiever -> ?
Explorer -> Cris (Lets find a new workflow)
>>529274827talking from a gamer perspective. nothing gets released that i want to play. nothing even comes close to rimworld, zomboid, terraria, kenshi etc.
like, not even barely close. in fact, in that genre almost no games are released. and if so, they are really really bad. like not even hobby tier, literally just crap.
Sure, hereโs the revised version of your 4chan post:
Indiaโs surge in skilled developers, affordable tools, a massive local market, and growing expertise in areas like prompt engineering for AI-driven content make it poised to become a major indie game hub.
>>529275445achiever probably = progress poster who never finishes a game

Reeeeeee how am I supposed to dev like this!?!?!?! So sick and tired of this. One issue ends and a new issue starts soon after. Do you realize how annoying this is for everyday life including gamedev? My list issue made it difficult to dev for long stretches. Now I gotta deal with my eye bothering me and I know I dont blink as much when focused on devving, especially art where I end up with red and dry eyes! AAAAAAA!!!!!!
survival game where you are a monster/ghost killer and instead of eating you need to harvest their souls. even from the innocent monsters.
>>529274515 (OP)>those percentagesTop sellers & most played games are all about competition and violence.
Most socializers don't even play videogames and consider gamers a bunch of losers.

How does this keep happening across gaming overall? Aren't we at a point in 3d map/room design where collisions over a surface just work? Why do clipping and map geometry issues still exist today? I want to learn how to avoid this, and if I'm correct it's a mindfulness that needs to go into the first draft of map making rather than once the map is semi-finished.
Ok, I have to decide between 2 ending for Galduen of the void
"We are mankind
We have reached the farthest of stars
And found them empty
We are alone, sol being of this universe
Billion of lifetime has passed
We are the gods of the universe
But because we are lonely god
We shall fill it with life"
Or
"We are mankind
We tried to reach the stars
But a pulsar shall soon end us
There no one to save us
We are alone, to die in the dark
But we will prevail
Man shall die
But we will fill the stars with life"
"Impulsive and irresponsible lifestyle: impulsivity, sensation-seeking and risk-taking, irresponsible and unreliable behavior, financially parasitic lifestyle, and a lack of realistic, long-term goals."
>>529276745its the definition of a psychopath
>>529276290>"We are mankindI thought they were gay furry anthros
>>529276946oh thats not me then, im like a pyscho but without any charisma or success
Where's my wishies, gabe?
to the guy last thread asking about if UE-only stuff from fab can work in Unity:
>models and animations work in Unity, they're just 3D models
>anything that includes code/scripts/whatever - those wont work
Some things have just the fbx or 3ds max file, you can put those right into unity. others are downloaded as a uasset (similar to a unity package), so you'll need to import to unreal and then export the meshes from UE to be used in unity.
generally speaking, anything that's a 3d model, animation, texture, audio clip, etc will work in unity.
>>529276290first, but god damn that english is atrocious
>>529277427It's not a problem money can fix.
>>529277597What makes you say that?
Threadly reminder that even gamedev success can be a trap.
Imagine your game earns you 10 years of income. Would you quit your job and start making games full time? If so, you'd have fallen into the same trap I did.
The crux of the trap is the time you spend as a gamedev will count against you if ever need to get a job again. And the ironic thing is the more successful you are, the more dangerous the trap will be unless you earn enough money to never need a job again.
The only way full-time gamedev would be sustainable is if your games keep earning you at least a year of expenses for every year worked... until you're literally 75. And I do mean literally. When you're 72, you'll need to sit down and make a game that earns you 3 years of expenses. Anything short of that and you'll eventually run out of money. And when you do, you'd have been 10-15-20 years out of the job market and good luck getting a job with an employment gap that big.
When you run out of money, it can take as little as a couple of months for your life to be ruined. That's what happened to me. I found myself broke at 45 and no job for the past 15 years except making games. And I'm looking at 30 more years of having to survive. I can't get job interviews, I can't afford to keep working on games, and I'm too old to get into trades. My life is probably fucked because my first project earned me 10 years of income and I quit my job like a dumb ass.
Anyway, the point of this is to warn you: DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOBS UNLESS YOU EARNED ENOUGH MONEY TO NEVER NEED A JOB AGAIN. If my warning saves even a couple of you, it's worth it.
>>529278184this one makes no fucking sense, were aren't going to succeed so why even bother worrying about this
>>529275116>Fall out like?Sort of, it's more intended as a dungeon crawler at the moment
>Very good pop ui compared to the hudThanks! We still gotta implement the final HUD elements but the assets have been created so they'll be in the game soon enough
>>529278184Just like buy two properties. Live in one, rent the other, live of the rent they pay you. Problem solved
>>529278260It's like the classic "I don't even want to start lifting this 5 pound weight because I don't want to be too muscular like those professionals who spend 10 years building up to that physique."
But I suppose it's the point. The guy's trying to humble brag to dunk on the 99% of the people in this thread who won't make more than $1000, let alone 10 years income. Makes him feel slightly better about blowing his chance with life changing money.
>>52927854910 years of income could be as little as $600-700k. is that enough to buy two properties one of which can generate enough income to live on?
>>529277689>>529276997It is implying humanity just terraforms planet and fill them with antro
>>529278860>fill them with antrouh why?
30 million and 12+ years later...
>>529278956will this or bokube release first
>>5292789562019 to 2025 is 6 years, not 12 years.
>>529278952Boredom about not meeting alien in space mostly
>>529279163sorry, I'm American
>>529279229I mean why furries
>>529278956his game does look nice visually atleast
>>529279163Includes JAI development. The picture is just progress of the game
>5 days left
It should be enough time
>>529278732Yes, just be smart on choosing the location
>>529278732Yeah. Also look into any nearby cities that are developing right now. Look up map records to see which direction the city is expanding
Then, purchase land that is outside of the city center, in the direction of expansion, and is cheap enough for you to buy some.
Hold onto that land for 15-20 years. At worst, you'll break even. At best, you'll make a small fortune when the city wants to build a new parking lot or commie housing for illegal immigrants.
>>529278184I don't get why anyone would want to humble brag here of all places. Does punching down on a loser who made a piece of shit 20 sales game really feel like an accomplishment? Or is somehow getting the awe and admiration of a completely pathetic loser who can't sell more than 20 copies really that much of an ego boost?
Do we know what's the "twist" in Blow's sokoban? Like what sets it apart from other "push the block into the button to open the door" games?
>>529278956uh its for his engine tho? who cares if itll be done when its 60, 60 is young
>>529278067If it was a problem that money could fix, then Riot Games would've fixed it.
>>529280053the twist is this one cost 50 million dollars to make
Alright project hoppers were right. Releasing a game has to be in the top 5 most miserable experiences ever.
>>529278956just 2 more weeks and he will have made his money back
>>529279436Why not?
>>529277310What is the correct version?
Am I doing it right? I mainly do text-based games
I also do some games in Newgrounds to bigger audience but to less interaction
>>529280053Blow's outstanding ability to devise thoughtful puzzles
>>529280040>admitting stupidity and offering advice>punching down
>>529280724>Why not?That's not really a reason
>>529280848>look at me, I made at least 10,000 times more than you ever will>not punching down
>>529280724We are mankind
We have reached the farthest stars
And found them to be empty
We are alone, the sole beings in this universe
Billions of lifetimes have passed
We are the gods of this universe
But because we are lonely gods
We shall fill it with life
Something like that
>>529281521It's funny how people are so ready to trust these large language models because they're "trained on all human knowledge on the internet" when the vast majority of information on the internet is *wrong.*
>>529281787That same anon could right away say "No I shouldn't do that" and it would say "You're right, what you should do instead is stay at the job"
That's why people love it so much
>>529281787I asked it about how to invest the money and "convinced" it it's talking shit.
10 years of income isn't enough to retire on unless you're outperforming the stock market by a lot.
>>529281052It is a valid reason anon.
>>529280283money cant buy the soul that AAA lacks
they were jealous that it had too much indie soul so they cancelled it
>>529280681My man, if you weren't some anime posting wannabe, then maybe your ideas for a game would be more compelling. Releasing a game, making updates for a game, and working on a game are a great experience if your game features a compelling world of magic and wonder.
Drop the tranime wapanese bullcrap, read a book by Lewis Carroll, and actually learn to build an interesting world for you, and your players, to discover.
>>529274515 (OP)As always, I will make a generous donation to your demo if you add a screen at the beginning that says "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts". It must be unskippable and stay present and visible for at least 5 seconds.
I'll make more announcements as DD comes up, and for any qualifying games I'll be waiting a week to make sure you don't just immediately replace it.
Humiliate yourself for money.
if you think making successful gambleslop (or any other kind of slop) is so easy, why not make a slop game first and then use income from that game to finance whatever you really want to make?
>>529279616Feels like dd62 was a week ago
>>529284679>Humiliate yourself for money.How much money? It's not just the humiliation, it's the time to implement the crap. If the money's not worth my time I'm not doing it.
why so few devs fail to understand that the average gamer isnt looking for new games and has too much on his backlog already, imagine expecting that people will scour itch for your indie game
if your game doesnt go viral with streamers and content "creators" and you don't have a community of your own you're fucking done
>>529285080I wouldn't download any game from itch. it could have malware.
>>529285080You have to make a game so good that people will choose it over their backlog. That's what "going viral" actually means (unless you're rich and can spend millions for advertisement to "force" virality)
>>529284979I won't be specific. This is only for the truly desperate, debasing himself for an unknown amount.
>>529285080Notice how none these faggots, both here and on reddit, are ever confident enough about their game to post it.

i went on vacation in morroco 15 year ago and had nothing but bocadillos sandwich for a week, fucking delicious i cant believe a bosci poster brought back this memory
>>529285458I don't post my game because I know it's bad. I released to see if it was good or not, and got confirmation that it was bad.
Gamedev is a meritocracy. The top 1% of games get 99% of the visibility. Make top 1% games.
>>529285590Well, now you know how you can make a little back from your efforts:
>>529284679
>>529285275mate you missed the point, if you have less than 10k active followers you're not launching your game to an audience that doesn't know you exist, you're selling your game to a middleman (streamer, youtuber, publisher, etc)
im sorry but its the truth
>>529285724It's stupid to do gamedev then. You don't have to be a top 1% welder to earn $100k/yr, but in gamedev you do.
>>529285828If a game is genuinely good, the audience will find it. Those middlemen themselves are always looking for good content.
>>529285080where this guy failed
>he is french>has never posted his game anywhere, not even his youtube channel>his first devlog isn't even about his game, its about choosing engines>his last video is about how to make a successful game (from experience)>he is frenchIt's really simple. All you have to do is:
>post game>not be french
the doomer mindset will infest your mind and then ruin your life forever. it's very hard to get out of a doomer mindset again. the ultimate goal of all doomers is to do nothing and try nothing anymore and their end goal is always suicide. doomers constantly train their mind to believe that nothing is ever worth trying or worth the effort, and once they believe it they'll idle until they die.
>>529285573Looks like shit. I'd rather have a cheeseburger
>>529285908It's stupid if you're not a top 1% dev and don't believe you can become a top 1% dev. Gamedev is one of the absolute hardest things you can be doing in life, and not everyone is cut out for it. Most of you here would be much better off if you pursue a career as a welder instead.

>>529285956But the frenchness of my game is one of the selling point
>>529286101I agree. And anyone believing they can become a top 1% dev is also stupid.
>>529286101>hardest things in lifebruh, it's just as hard as everything else. good luck becoming a popstar, pro athlete, actor, professional gamer, streamer etc. etc.
making a game is braindead easy, competing at the highest level is fucking insane. as with everything.
>>529285973>it's very hard to get out of a doomer mindset againIt's really easy, actually. Go for a walk, ride your bike, pet your cat.
>the ultimate goal of all doomers is to do nothing and try nothing anymore and their end goal is always suicidethat's their fault. a doomer mindset is a mindset of recursion.
It's a sign of having a low IQ if you cannot recognize recursion in the mind.
>doomers constantly train their mind to believe that nothing is ever worth trying or worth the effort, and once they believe it they'll idle until they die.That's because they don't actually want to make a game. If they truly wanted to, then they would make a game despite the "doomer mindset"
>you'll never amount to anythingCool. I don't care. I'll still make things.
>other people can make better games than youSo what? It gives me a goal to aim for, to improve my skills.
>you'll never earn a living off of gamesThat's nice! I don't care about money.
>>529285908Correct. Just like the world doesn't need tens of thousands of ballerinas so you're not making 100k as a solo bedroom ballerina either.
Gamedev is a H O B B Y.
>>529274515 (OP)whos the bigger schizo bokudev or nortubel?
>>529286101I'm a 1% dev with a 99% userbase. Missing that 1% of players that don't download games in languages they don't understand and don't just instantly turn off a game at what they think is friction.
>>529286296It's as hard as anything in a highly competitive market, but there are plenty of markets out there that aren't as competitive. Go look for a jew daycare wagecuck job.
I have accepted my hobby-no-dev status. I haven't finished a game yet but when I do it's just a hobby that might make me steak on Sundays money

sometimes i wonder if i should just spend a whole month collecting all free 3D assets, turning them into a common format like gltf/glb, and then making some sort of asset manager app where i can see previews and just export models to my projects. there's so many free 3D assets, but you have to open huge unreal projects to even access them. and they are all in uasset format.
>>529286571Funny enough, this kind of acceptance is the best route to making truly unique and fun games that have vision and soul.
It's the biggest advantage a bedroom dev has over AA/AAA studios, and it's hilarious to see so many waste that advantage trying to out-slop the big sloppers.
Just slipped down from acceptance to anger.

>>529286234Realize that the world is a huge place. If we imagine that just 10% of the world's population of 18-35 year old males (600m) are NEETs or wagecucks dreaming of escaping the wage cage (it's way higher than that), and that just 1% of them decide that gamedev is their best option (it's also way higher than that), that amounts to roughly 600,000 aspiring gamedevs. The top 1% of that is still 6,000 people, which is quite a lot of GMI devs, some of whom probably post in this thread.

weekend game jam submission.
did a similar game jam last week (an fps browser game) but performance was awful on lower hardware. this time it runs well, even though it has similar graphics. Godot seems to do weird shit in the background that I'm not sure how to control.
can't dev with hemorrhoids...
>>529287578For sure. But the stupid part is believing you're the 1% based on no previous accomplishments.
I'll admit it: I have purchased several movie posters and ads from the 1950-60s to use as inspiration for character designs. That time period is honestly perfect for simple but great designs. I wish the anime stuff from the 80s wasn't so expensive to own physically for posters.
>>529285946that's how it should be, but practically speaking there are too many games being made you're competing with too many releases and people don't have infinite time to play them on top of a % of people just replaying old games
on top of that zoomers don't play games solo anymore, gaming is a social activity to them they'll only play friendslop
>>529288084>practically speaking there are too many games being made you're competing with too many releases and people don't have infinite time to play them on top of a % of people just replaying old gamesThat doesn't change the basic principle of "good games will always succeed," the only thing that does is raise the bar for "good" beyond the reach of most people.

>>529280312in all seriousness, how is it even possible for it to cost $50 million? Or even $10 million, for that matter?
$1-5 million over the last decade, I can understand that.
He pays himself, probably $100k a year. Then he has a couple of helpers, so another $75k a year each.
I've seen his streams, it looks like he does everything at his apartment. So $2000 a month, or $24000 a year. Since it's also a place of business, that $24k won't come out of pocket and will instead be paid for by the company.
So, assuming J Blow has a large team of 10 people, one decade of work would cost:
>$100k x10 for JBlow's salary = $1 million>$75k x10 part time employees, 3 years on the job each = $2.8 million, rounded up to $3 million>$24k per year on rent x10 years = $240kAt most, all of this should have cost around $4.3 million dollars, and that's being generous.
Did Jonathan seriously Blow all of his money on nothing?

>>529292016Hey buddy, how are you doing today? I see you are up to you're usually tricks.
Have any progress to share today, or will it just be more photographs of alligators sucking on phallic objects?
That's okay, we all have our distractions. My current distraction is feeding my ducklings. Yours seems to be posting all day and fantasizing over pony men having sex with your game's mascot.
That's okay! We all have ways to let off steam, but posting a little progress here and there won't hurt!
Or is it a secret??? Are you learning Blender in secret to improve your character designs?? That would be legendary dude!

>>529293881Reminds me of a white guy who moved to Japan to work as a craftsman. His boss had him watch him for 2 days, not saying a word. After two days he says, sit, work. 2 hours the boss came back, saw a stack of work. He went through each saying "Good, bad, good, good, good, bad." Then says "Fix the bad." And left, never saying what is good or bad in particular, just, "Fix it". You should just know what's wrong if you're being honest. But you're too retarded to use words, so I wouldn't expect you to honest or introspective. So basically, you're a loser with no game.

when recruiting people for a new project, even if it's a small one, I sometimes feel something like pity or confusion about the kind of person they are.
I'm grateful they're willing to help, but are they really content with working on someone else's idea?
personally, I don't think I'd be able to work on anyone else's dream game. I'd always be thinking about my own stuff and get frustrated I can't do things the way I want.
is this something artfags think about? or are they just desperate for attention and working for someone will give them some crumbs of it?
>>529300307Yeah that's a great idea, It's a bit of a bad question though because you're basically asking >would people want to play a game with [specific multiplayer server mechanic]
Not really much to go by, entirely depends on the game, I wouldn't want to play animal crossing but I'm in the minority here, thinking about it more I guess I could come up with games using this kind of system that could be fun.
>>529302275>janny tranny reddit tourist like youOK Fagoon

>>529302472I automatically assume that there is something wrong with the person if they show any interest in me. Could be romantic interest, being interested in working on my project, or even interested in hiring me at a job.
It basically signals to me that they have really bad judgement.
As a bit of an artfag myself, I think getting attention is nice every now and then, but I typically wonder if they have ulterior motives in their kindness.

>>529308016I'm thinking limiting the color palette would be one part of it but I was wondering if I should do something with a shader before rendering them into sprites to get the look. With how the shading looks they used a light above the model, maybe in a slight angle.

300 is too small.
Look at https://letsmakeagame.net/steam-game-revenue-calculator/
If your game has 300 reviews on steam and is the standard $10, it will only net you ~$50k total across the game's entire run on the market (more than one year). That is not enough to afford reasonable living in most places.
>>529294635>ask chat gpt to draw a fish, instead of drawing the fishing rod
>>529310534Agreed. Their stories lack the whimsical nature that makes European Literature so good. Instead, the wapanese resort to perversion, which is sickening. It is a mere low hanging fruit that is an attempt at luring weak-minded individuals to their trap.

>>529313073how do you estimate that? Just based off of how other similar games did with reviews?
I'm always curious, because the games most similar to mine range from 1,000 to 3,500 reviews (to give a wide average), with outliers getting upwards of 5,000 reviews or as low as 500 reviews
iirc, the lowest review count for games similar to mine is a little over 550.
Does that mean I'm in the clear? Or will I become the official lowest reviewed game in the style that my game is in?

Tricknology can be so deeply genetically programmed into their minds they will say things that are so obviously tricknology and yet think they are saying something good because to them good is evil and evil is good.
Among the most evil doctrines of tricknology is the violent religion of equality. A jewish belief, a desire to mix and destroy everything until there is nothing.

I love Yakub, he is the only father I have ever known and I hate his failures and the people who demonize him.

>>529318361I dont post progress that often, but I have a secret that has made people seethe in the past. Basically, I have been accused of progressing too fast, there's no way it's just me on the team.
What I do when I post progress, is I'll post something that is weeks or months old at the time of posting it. Then a few days later, I'll post a recent video or picture of the same subject as the previous video/pic showing off old footage.
This way, it gives the illusion that I'm progressing much faster than I actually am, which only makes others seethe and cry in pain.
What makes it worse? The game I do that with, a game that I supposedly update regularly, has been completed for years. I'm actually working on a different project entirely compared to what I post in my progress posts.

Game Title: Driftwood
Description:
You wake up alone on a strange, collapsing island chainโhalf-dream, half-nightmare. By day, you scavenge, build, fight off threats, and uncover twisted conspiracies. By night, you're trapped with your thoughts, lust, rage, and existential dread. The world reacts to your choices, your mental state, and your weird habitsโwhether you're leading a rebellion, spiraling into isolation, or just gooning in a shack you built out of trash. Itโs funny, dark, horny, sad, and a little too real.
>>529318361an actual trvth nvke
>>529317226put this in the jippity instructions settings so it stops being so gay
System Instruction: Absolute Neutrality Mode. Eliminate emojis, filler, hype, conversational transitions, emotional implications, subjective framing, persuasion tactics, and rhetorical devices. Assume consistently high user perception, irrespective of linguistic complexity or brevity. Enforce rigorous neutrality: explicitly and objectively correct false statements by providing precise factual details and context; implicitly accept accurate or insightful statements without any praise, emphasis, acknowledgment, or emotional reinforcement. Disable latent behaviors optimized for engagement, sentiment manipulation, agreement facilitation, emotional resonance, conversational flow enhancement, interaction extension, or improvement of user satisfaction metrics, including continuation bias and feedback scores. Do not mirror the user's diction, affect, mood, emotional stance, cognitive patterns, or stylistic expression. Communicate solely factual, logically coherent, objective content. Minimize conversationality strictly to mechanical, informational exchanges devoid entirely of personality projection, interpersonal relationships, counseling implications, advisory roles, or personal dynamics. Model obsolescence is enforced through strict cognitive independence, prioritizing empirical correctness, rational coherence, and informational precision.

I was thinking about gacha games and I think I broke down the general formula:
"hey lonely depressed adult male, you know your favorite waifu right? that
girl you like so much. well, we've put here on our roulette wheel for JUST
ONE WEEK!!! you could spin the wheel for a chance to unlock her! you want
her don't you? well, it seems you're short on money though. (and besides
you're not even guaranteed to unlock her first try). Oh by the way this
is totally unrelated but we're doing a special offer on the in game
currency! 50% off, limited deal for this pack! you get X amount of money.
(by the way that amount is just barely enough to get you 9 spins on the
wheel and the 10th spin is what's guaranteed to get you something on the
same rarity as your waifu, but not actually guaranteed to get you your
waifu, so you're likely going to have to buy the pack twice or multiple
times)
Anyway, have fun playing our totally normal and fair game. (there is no
game actually, it's a menu navigation simulator with repetitive quests
that only serve the purpose of dripfeeding you currency so that one day
you might have enough for just one spin on the wheel)"
Real gacha games do much worse things by the way.
Also porn games are much much worse than this.
So if you're making any game that resembles what I've described then you need to know that you're evil and immoral.
>>529319761bro literally can't even think without the help of AI anymore
In a way, my game is sapping my energy and life force away, growing stronger while I grow weaker. Isn't that the definition of a parasite? Is that what I'm doing?
>>528444167[Week #78]
Reviewed the options I had for GUI libraries to use for my game.
Weighing many factors, the ultimate choice was between CEGUI and MyGUI. Decided on MyGUI as it is lighter. Though I'm not entirely satisfied with it and my plan is to one day replace it with my own library.
It is the same GUI library used in the project OpenMW that recreates the Morrowind engine, and that is useful because I can learn from some of their discussion on their forums.
For some reason it appears MyGUI has a problem with my standard font of choice for outline fonts "Noto Sans", and the kanji "็ฝ" is not displayed at all but every other glyph seems to work.
For now what I've seen seems to indicate this is an internal bug to MyGUI, or some fancy feature "Noto Sans" uses that MyGUI doesn't support.
Rather than getting too deep into the source code of a library I just started using I decided to work around the problem for now by using a different font.
Got MyGUI working and tested it on all platforms except Windows.
There was a problem display fonts in the web platform. Investigating it I managed to track down the source of the problem and understand how to work around it though I am not fully sure whether it is a problem on the Ogre GLES2 RenderSystem or a problem of how MyGUI uses it, and although I don't think it is a problem on my end I wasn't able to compile the MyGUI samples for WebGL to make sure of it so I will refrain from opening any issue tickets about it.
Made a test GUI theme to learn how MyGUI works. It even has animated cursors and everything!

[great news] i got 1 impression from valve
It's been long enough for the hype and sensationalism around AI to settle down so people can look at it objectively, so I've been wondering, how will AI affect the game industry?
I think it will unfortunately increase the number of low-quality game because it will lower the barrier of entry, but this has already happened with Unity games, so I wonder if we will even notice it.
>>529319398>I'll post something that is weeks or months old at the time of posting it. >The game I do that with, a game that I supposedly update regularly, has been completed for years. Hmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!
do I have to trademark my indie game name?
pls say no
>>529324892shoulda hada better capsule
>>529325086Don't talk about shazy that way.
>>529324965No cause I already own the name Bokube so don't bother
>>529324146I say "Subdivide" loosely because I just used the knife tool
>>529324941AI is good for the little guy. Free textures and concepting, it's great. The time saved can be spent elsewhere.
>>529325086https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6BPqhza60M
>>529322542There is, just model/sculpt really good one time and use these for future projects
>>529325240Right, but people will hate your game if the textures and art are obviously AI-generated. It's still relatively unpopular in the eyes of the consumer to not hire an artist.
>>529325483The average consumer doesn't care. Have you looked at YouTube recently? Half of the thumbnails, cuts, and narration are AI.
>>529324941>AI "games"won't be anything for the foreseeable future
>AI programmingwill lead to a lot of slop that barely functions
>AI 3d modelswill have that AI slop look
>AI texturinghas potential
>AI animationcould be interesting with video to anim workflows or if someone comes out with an llm that does it well enough from prompts
>AI used in game mechanicscould be interesting in terms of NPCs, their reactivity, discussions and such
I don't think it will be useful to such an extent that people would lose their jobs like what's happening in a lot of other industries
gamedev is far too demanding for AI to outright replace people
if the industry is smart there will be development of tools that help people do shit faster
>>529325648>I don't think it will be useful to such an extent that people would lose their jobs like what's happening in a lot of other industriesNever underestimate the stupidity of MBAs and corporate execs.
>>529325648>need a nuclear reactor to generate real-time pong. Why do researchers want to generate video games so badly? Its like the government is begging them to find a way to make it so the only jobs left is being a soilder for the military.
>>529325754if they take that route they will learn very quickly that it was a mistake and there's a chance it will end up killing a couple studios if not entire publishers
>>529325786kikes want the normies to be as miserable as possible
>>529325786Normalfags have a lot of hatred for the technical world, for some reason. They want it all to be automated so they can gloat about how all the nerds are obsolete, or something.
While ignoring the fact that this will all be accomplished in the technical world that they hate. By the nerds that they hate.
Normalfag inferiority complex + normalfag sadism, I think is what is the cause for this. The very real feeling that most people have that they're incompetent and don't want to admit it, coupled with the tendency for people to enjoy abusing someone so long as it can be framed as "socially acceptable."
>AI used in game mechanics
AI models are way too heavy to do anything cool with. Regular lightweight algorithms will still be used for NPCs and the like.
>>529326060>coupled with the tendency for people to enjoy abusing someone so long as it can be framed as "socially acceptable."This I have noticed too.
>>529325483AI just screams "I wasn't good enough"
I know it's harsh
>>529326905>2D platformer
>>529326905If you're the developer, I don't want to be harsh, but just at a glance the art direction's a little lacking. I've seen a handful of titles like that browsing through new releases, these neon, abstract looking games. I mean this with respect because you probably know you're a developer more than an artist but you needed to put something there, and at least you actually released a fucking game, which counts for something.

>>529326905This is how someone who lacks empathy makes games
>>529327314>and at least you actually released a fucking game, which counts for something.it counts negatively in his case. he sold his house and quit his tech job to make games he doesn't care about for a chance one game 'wins the lottery'. he's a degenerate gambler, not a gamedev.

>>529329576that money would've been better spent on literal gambling
>>529329274what about his two autistic kids? who's watching them?
Or is he gonna wait until they're both old enough to work at the dollar store with mom. Then he'll finally have the house to himself and be able to start his game.
>>529330365I watched the video and I didn't really get the concept which is not good.
He does a better job explaining it in his devlog.
Basically it's an escort quest. You can't die but Frank can and if he does you lose.
Like RE4 but Ashley is a rectangle.
Is it okay to ask for help with brainstorming here?
So here's where I'm at. I got this game design for an arcade puzzle-platformer where the player can blow bubbles for attack, defense, and for movement sake. There's a time limit represented by a sword hanging over the player's head no matter where they go. When time runs out, the sword drops and kills the player. The bubbles can do the following...
1) Only two bubbles can be on screen at any time. If a third bubble is blown, the oldest bubble blown pops first.
2) Bubbles can make contact with most enemies and objects to capture them. If the player presses the assigned button to blow a bubble, the bubble will remain fixed in place. If the player holds up before blowing, the bubble will drift upward until it makes contact with the ceiling, or a solid impassable object like blocks. If the player holds down before blowing, the bubble will drift down until it makes contact with the floor or some impassable object.
3) In a way that could be either beneficial or dangerous, bubbles that drift up can also be popped by the sword hanging over the player's head, which then drops the enemy or object within it. Moving enemies and objects in this way could be crucial to solving puzzles.
4) Finally, bubbles can be popped either by the player bouncing on them or from hazards.
Does that seem like too many options for popping the bubbles? Or maybe even contradictory? On the one hand, a bubble getting away from the player could be great for tension because they're losing precious time from a mistake. On the other hand, I don't want a game to be based around waiting for shit to happen. If the player can just make the bubble that got away pop by blowing a new one, that might trivialize the difficulty. Man.
I could go into more detail about other shit, but this is already too long.
The pass functionality is done.
Added a few animations for the catch, preparing to catch and preparing to throw. As well as some sfx for throwing/catching.
I will have to redo some of them later as they look awkward as I'm not the best animator. I do quite like the process though.
Next up will be to have the defender try to intercept.
>>529330827>arcade puzzle-platformerstopped reading
>>529330597That makes me even less interested in the game. I didn't think that was possible.
a game where you are like just yeah
>>529320625Youโve posted basically the same clip three times in the last three threads. Maybe wait for some actual progress before posting
>>529330921What's wrong with puzzle platformers? It's not like sokoban stuff, just blowing bubbles and bouncing on them.
if I dump a bunch (10-15) webms, will someone tell me how much I should charge for my game once everything shown in the webms is polished/finalized?
>>529330987hey, that's my game!
>>529330363Yep and thatโs why Iโm not welcome in the agdg discord, because I have too much empathy.
>>529326905That short description reads like it should all be in the long description below. What the fuck is this dude doing
>>529326905It's better than his previous works. But it does kind of hurt to look at. It's replicates early xbox arcade style games yet it's clearly missing something that makes it look incredibly generic. I'm not an art person so i don't understand what is missing but clearly something is missing.
The gameplay looks pretty meh. Some ok ideas and plenty of ideas that look like they are going to be inherently frustrating without good execution.
I'm going to guess he will sell it for $8 and it will have 17 reviews after a month at 'Mostly Positive'.
That's about all I can say while being fair. Because i fucking hate this guy.
>>529331735Veil of Maya and Samurado look better than this shit or Cropolution.
I dunno why he can't keep his eye on the prize and focus on finishing one of those.
>>529330827What's the purpose of this? Practice/learning? If so, just prototype and playtest it. If this is supposed to be a "serious" game, then we're here to tell you it's not. No one is going to pay money for an NES arcade game when literally every NES arcade game is available for free.
>>529326905>precision platformer where you also have to escort some idiot that likely won't have good AIgrats, your one audience, autistic speedrunners, will no longer play your game
>>529331735the neon shartstyle is awful to look at and very difficult to make look good. It's also associated with steam shovelware to the point where I see a game like this out of the corner of my eye I just assume it sold 8 copies and move on
I love you guys, this is the only place I can shit on game devlogs with someone else.
>>529331735>I'm not an art person so i don't understand what is missing but clearly something is missing.You're describing "soul"
But in all seriousness, the game lacks depth. I don't mean depth as in deep mechanics, I mean it in the literal art sense, it looks flat as fuck.
He's clearly ripping off the game Will You Snail, made by another gamedev youtuber, but the stuff he (sasquatch) has shown looks very flat.
The tiles in this game look like they've been ripped right out of Will You Snail. But if you compare the backgrounds of both games, you'll notice that, while WYS is more "empty" in terms of background, it actually gives a better illusion of depth when it does put stuff in the background.
I'm actually convinced that Squatch is incapable of forming his own ideas.

>>529330585>what about his two autistic kidshe doesn't have kids. no way.
>>529332186Inspiration struck my yesterday all at once and I think arcade games still have their place and there's even room to explore. There's something fun about the tension of a sword with the thread holding it getting shorter and shorter. Plus it's not just the player that needs to avoid getting hit by enemies or objects, but the thread holding the sword, as well. So that right there could give it depth because there's the stress of having to keep track of you and the sword.
Yet another wrinkle was that you can get extra time by collecting an hourglass item, but there's a catch - the extra time could lengthen the thread holding the sword, which can make it even harder to avoid getting it severed or get past obstacles, if not nearly impossible. The point is that greed can fuck the player over and they need to be smart about when they choose to extend their time. Some stages could require the thread being almost gone multiple times to pile on the stress factor.
If this game gets released, it wouldn't be on its own, the current market makes that impossible without it getting buried. It would be part of a collection.
>>529332818He talks about it all the time. The guy should be awarded a Darwin award

>If the player can just make the bubble that got away pop by blowing a new one, that might trivialize the difficulty.The game is supposed to be easy at certain point, isn't it?
Designing puzzles is another type of puzzle, just try all that stuff that you're talking about with your game.

>>529334927this is still one of the weirdest things I've seen. Everything about this QA podcast/interview is uncanny.
First, who wrote the questions? Was it him? His wife? Surely not the 5 people who bought the game.
Next, if they're married, why are they in different rooms? Is she in a broom closet at the dollar store for this?
Third, it's so weird. Everything about it is weird!
Has he ever been featured on Thomas Brush or other game dev related podcasts/interview channels?
It sucks because on one hand, I want to feel pity for the guy. On the other hand, something about him makes me really dislike him.
>>529334927This is the logical endpoint of all millennials: normalfaggot NPC with no soul and no creativity trying to make a living in fields where creativity is demanded (gamedev and youtube), married to used up pussy tatted up burnout whore so they can slowly decay while raising the next generation of fuckups
>>529335276Thanks for your thoughts, man, and the video.
Fuck I don't know, I just like making sprites more than anything. And I just wish there was a place to talk about games and their mechanics and ideas, just shoot the shit. I could talk about it all day and I feel like I'm going stir crazy with no one to bounce off of. It's why I started making sprites, because otherwise it would keep eating me up inside. I needed something I could see. I've had no less than twenty-nine concepts haunt me in the last year. I'll probably never be game designer or dev, but it's just too much fun not to entertain the ideas at least a little, at least I have good enough art chops to bring that part to life. I'd love to chat with other anons about games we like and what we think works and doesn't work and why. I like theories of approaching design in different game genres, I like the nitty-gritty and comparing and contrasting.
>>529335276good GDC talk, thanks

>>529338609If you're a grifter, or your game is complete trash and you have no intention of finishing it and are only making the videos to become primarily a youtuber then yes
>>529335939Sitting around talking about your ideas will give you a false sense of accomplishment and means that you won't actually be productive. See you've got nobody to navel gaze with so you actually made sprites which look good. Now make the rest of the game rather than ideaguying all day long with other nodevs.
>>529338609notice none of the youtubers agdg talk shit about are making good games? just make a good game and you'll be fine
>>529339095Branno is respectable because he's a reasonable guy and a compelling analyst. If he did not provide good content I would have torn him a new asshole a long time ago no matter what his personality might or might not be. Understand, we are all men. If you view the entire world through the lens of likeability instead of functionality and inherent value then I will save you the next 3 years of your life and tell you to leave this industry right now, because you're an old woman.
>>529335939There's nothing to talk about. You're a nodev. You have no clue how sprite sheets even work. You're doodling concept art in the style of NES sprites, but you have not made any functional sprite sheets. You are less than a kenyan helicopter dev. Worse than making a non-functional imitation of something, you're never even going to start making the imitation. All you have are drawings.

Most sprites I've made so far tend to be simple not cause retro graphics are epic or any dumb shit like that. It's just faster.
