How do I stop Russian subhumans from pirating my game?

I feel ok overall without having made a game recently.

>>529358887 (OP)
there's metal in it

>>529358924
block sales to russia or make the currency exchange that same as us prices lol. i doubt they have some currency exchange available, if they cant buy even 1 copy, then how can they pirate it?

Why? Might as well let them play the game if they are unable to purchase happiness.

>>529358924
You don't have a game, so you don't have anything to worry about.

>>529358924
I thought /agdg/ loved russians

>>529359497
I do; Stalker and metro are some of my favorite game series

>>529359770
I think ukraine devs made those games

>>529359897
Oh so Russian so you prove my point. Ukraine is not nor ever was its own country.

>>529359497
sasha...

I updated the movement on my game after the feedback from the last DD. If anyone's got a spare minute or two, could you let me know if the movement feels any better? Cheers

>>529358887 (OP)
my memory of 12yo is that everything sucked and nothing was cool
i just googled the year that it confirmed it, cool didn't exist then.

>>529360551
damn. when I was 12 we had dbz on TV

>>529360538
I like it!

>>529360778
idk when that was because i didn't have cable and i wouldn't have considered it cool because i was aware of cringe since age 10

About 4 days until demo day AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Oh wait my game isnt even ready for a nice full fledged demo.

How's your engine coming along?

>>529360538
first time playing. despair won. it's over.
movement felt ok, fit the mood, but i did feel sleepy after a while. relaxing but frustrating...

>>529360538
Interesting concept. It feels like a game jam game, but surprisingly polished with the all the little menu button motion. Nice atmosphere. The controls are fine, but overall, it's not a particularly interesting game. Are you trying to turn this into a commercial game? I'd say it's not a good candidate. It's honestly not very fun. Wrap it up, ship it ASAP, and move on to something better.

>>529360021

Actually based wtf?

>>529360538
I really like the concept. Keep it up anon. You should look up some old arcade like Time Pilot 84 to get some inspiration about movement/feel.

Day 30 on a Thread for Project C-Con – "Donut looks done" Edition
Journal logs are being posted into /agdg/ daily.

Next part of the Blender tutorial seems to get into rendering, I'll most likely check what exactly next time, but for now we are left with a mostly complete donut. Honestly it was fun learning and the tutorial taught me a lot of how to use Blender as a whole, so did the animation tutorial, which was a lot quicker to finish for me, which is in part due to how in-depth the donut tutorial was. I think once I figure out where to wrap up this blender tutorial and I get a bit more comfortable with Unreal Engine 5, we're going to start again on trying to prototype custom mechanics. I might have to get a bit farther through Fusel's C++ courses alone though to get as comfortable in Unreal Engine development as I am now a bit with general Blender development, I just feel like I get the workflow a lot more.

What is Project C-Con?

Thanks for the feedback, any reason in particular that you didn't find it fun? Did you get to the upgrades and everything? Pic related

>>529361852
Thanks man. This does look smooth but I am attached to the physics based movement system I've created, and aren't super stoked on moving to kinematic. The movement was originally created with drifting in mind, but maybe it's deviated from that or just not as fun? Let me know what you think

>>529324208
>Not ai. Look at the artists work from before ai, it's the same.
Wait, so any art I post is forever going to be doubted as being AI because I didn't post anything before 2022?

>Thanks for the feedback, any reason in particular that you didn't find it fun? Did you get to the upgrades and everything? Pic related
Perhaps it's unfair, but mentally, I'm comparing it to games like VS, HoloCure, and Brotato. Your game has no sense of urgency and no sense of risk. There's no real cost to dying. The moment-to-moment gameplay isn't particularly interesting. It doesn't take long to get used to the controls. Sure, it can "feel better" to buy more acceleration/top speed, but I can't help but ask "what's the point?" I assume the goal is to 100% the map? That doesn't feel like a very compelling goal. You're personally never in any real danger, since you're not building towards anything per run. You basically made a rogue-lite without the rogue-like and only a meta-progression.

>>529363412
I wish this were me!!!!

>>529363302
Why would you care? The only people that care about muh AI are artists and voice actors, normies buying games don’t give a shit if it looks good

>>529358887 (OP)
Tell me about your game, without referring to other games, and making it sound interesting.

PCucks are too poor and brown to buy games.
There is no reason to create DRM because the majority of them will never purchase a game anyway. They will save up their gubmint tardbux for a $40,000 graphics card in order to run League of Legends and modded Skyrim on ultra instead. Simply accept them as possible vectors of positive word of mouth and move on.

left or right? which one is a more attractive character?

>>529366504
Left.

>>529366441
Um actually I buy all my games. It's poorfag subhumans that steal. I do steal movies and tv though as there is no proper distribution model for it, if we ever get to a proper point of like $xx/mo for all things in one spot with no issues I'd pay though. Until then it's literally easier to watch things managing my own plex server.

how do you code a simple turn based RPG battle in godot

the jew is coming for my game

>>529367616
Pretty easily.

>>529363342
Hmm interesting take. The goal of the game is not communicated well from the start it seems. The goal is to beat the final boss on stage 4. You have 20 runs to get to the 4th level and beat it, otherwise you 'meta-rune' ends and you have to start again.

>Your game has no sense of urgency and no sense of risk. There's no real cost to dying
It's funny because other people have told me to reduce the risk by taking out the enemies. I'm not sure if you made it far into the game or fully understood the scope of it, which is probably my bad. I love that my game, and games in general, provoke such different reactions in people. That's art I guess

Does anybody know of any good online resources for how to actually design a good JRPG/RPG combat system?
I don't mean in terms of implementation, I mean specifically in terms of:
>what stats are needed and what do they do
>how to balance
>how the combat damage is actually calculated
>how to handle levelling up
I guess I could just rip from a TTRPG but ideally I want to know how games like DQ/FF work

>>529370281
I hate to tell you this, but no there is no guide. You either have the math skills, creativity, and focus to design a system, or you don't.
If you don't, not all is lost, you can just copy those who did.

>>529372151
very important lesson here

>>529373732
what do you mean fast lmao, I learn UE5 for 1 year 9 months now, game is in dev for 9 months already

and cuz I am nolifer I can basically go all in on this, since the start, I have been studying and doing game dev for 12 hours almost everyday

but in term of tutorial for learning UE5, I recommend Stephen Ulibarri on Udemy, absolute goat, 90% of UE5 tuts on youtube are retarded

>>529374221
why cant i have a team of guys to make a game with... im so alone...

Gemini always sounds like it wants to kill itself every time it fucks up. Most relatable AI I've ever used.

Would a farming simulator featuring more complicated and realistic farming mechanics even be fun, or do players tend to prefer simplified game-y mechanics? Some mechanics could include:
- Soil fertilization (this is already common)
- Topbed mulch and fungi symbiosis
- Rot due to overwatering
- Pests solved by pesticides or companion planting (repellants and trap crops)
- Pollination

>>529374475

Can you milk the cows

My game's main design is both a boon and a curse. I think it really helps make the game work, and makes it fun more and engaging, but as a result it makes the game really hard to explain without sounding convoluted.
My only hope is that when it launches, people are more willing to learn to play.

>>529374893
Sounds hopeless. Learn to design in a gradual difficulty curve next time.

>>529374475
If you get just autistic enough I think it'd work and the audience wouldn't even care if it was anime.
A good gardening simulator would do really well with women.

>>529374826
>neglected all the anime girls
the devs are just like bokudev and cris, completely incapable of seeing and understanding that it looks like shit even if you point out exactly what is wrong with it.

i accept your concession

You know sometimes (often) I think this place is nothing but a cesspool of idiots. Then I get a little relieved when I see that the reddit communities are just as bad but in a different way.

>>529374221
where's their prxonysns?? where da womynxn at?!

NO CHANCE I MAKE IT.

>>529375453
How come?
About 3 years ago I decided not to use reddit because everyone over there came across as an irony poisoned faggot.
Have things changed ever since?

>>529375453
Reddit is just like this thread with a 3x scaler. Reverse crabbing to the gills until you're allowed to dogpile on someone and they become 200x more vicious than even the worse schizos here.

If I have a model of a device with buttons, and pressing the buttons will be tied to a game action, what is the best way to handle it?
Animate in blender and have the game trigger the animation when the player presses it?

Is there any reason nobody made yet actual drug synthesis simulator? Fully fledged, step-by-step instruction how to acquire substrate, how to carry out chemical reactions, do's and don'ts, safety measures, equipment etc. There are games where you are showed pretty accurately how to grow weed, if that is the case, what stops people from going step further and demonstrate how to synthesize meth?

>>529374980
I feel like this would only true if the game is able to display a very intricate graphical response to different quality of plants. i.e. It's not enough to use the same meshes just with a bigger number attached to it on a GUI, or different color sparkle VFX to intricate quality. e.g. A high quality tomato crop would need to visually represent several large fruits on the vine, while a lower quality crop would need fewer smaller fruits.

That would require a large collection of models or god forbid, a procedural mesh system... which isn't impossible, but would balloon the scope to far beyond what I was intending. I could do it if I can find something reasonable out of an asset pack, but I'm unaware of anything that exists.

i flopped and now i cant recover my mental

>>529375816
That would be the standard approach. Then again, it's not a hard thing to do, it's a 2 frame animation of a button moving a little bit.

>>529375816
Animate it in engine.

Never used reddit before, but as part of my social media marketing spreadout, I've made some accounts. The general, returning idiot posts that I see are
>I am X years old, how do I get into gamedev?
>I am a [profession] how do I get involved in making games? (Without making my own game, or changing what I do already)
>Video game making as a career?
>Here is my game (medicore gif spammed on 4 subreddits)
>Should I buy [current superpopular game]?
>S hould I get [AAA title] or [AAA title]? I was also thinking of [AAA title]
>What games do you want remade?
>I've been working on this game for 3 months, what you think? (Shows some shitty prototype, or something that obviously made by a small team)
>We released our first game! (Something I would have not paid steam $100 for)

>>529381286
I met a ginger when I fresh out of high school, still in that horny phase where I could beat my dick against a wall and stay hard. Idk why but she was super obsessive and at first it freaked me out. So I'm like nah, I don't want to date you. But she begged. So I'm like alright, I'll date you if you're basically my slave, you can't say no to anything. And she's like YES, I AGREE. I lived out all my fantasies on a red head. I forced her to grow out her bush. Then I foolishly dumped her to get with a more stereotypical good girl, and that was a fucking mistake. But hey, I can look back at that wonderful time the rest of my life.

>>529381595
I don't believe you.

>>529381773
What made it even more dreamlike is I was a poor kid, but my bro had a house, but he was in the military and had me watch his house. So I go from being some dipshit with nothing, to having a house and a slave. Bizarre when I look back. So I didn't have to like, hide her from my parents or wait for them to go to the store, it was non stop on demand.

Have you guys ever tried to "explore your talents"? Do you believe personal affinity exists?

I picked up pixel art recently (as in 1 year ago), having never been an artist. After getting bored of doing shitty art for my game, I decided to enter one of those "1 pixel art piece a day for a month thing with a random theme every day".
Since I had to draw something different every day, I noticed something: all my geometric pieces were done like 4 times faster than my organic shaped ones. I'm talking buildings, weapons, tanks, stuff like that, as opposed to creatures, humanoids, foods, even flowers. (They were all similar in scope/complexity.) A 4x increase in speed is huge, I'm talking finishing it in 1 hour instead of 4 hours. I remembered that as a teen I would draw swords and edgy castle designs on the back of my notebooks, even though I've never drawn officially, so I assume that either my brain has a larger "visual library" for geometric shapes, or the neural connections for these kind of shapes are just stronger or something dunno.

I now realize that my game makes poor use of my talents, it's a top-down hack and slash with medieval fantasy theme, but 90% of what I draw are monsters and it has very few buildings or weapons and stuff. If my game was composed mostly of more geometrical shapes it could be done faster.
I'm also wondering, do you think something similar could apply to programming? Are there types of gameplay code that might be easier to program for me than others, even though they're similar in complexity? Or is programming more agnostic and if you have the knowledge then everything is done at the same speed regardless of personal affinity? Thoughts?

Ever since I started boofing caffeine I've quadrupled my progress

I have heard that Artists are often either good at drawing people, or drawing things. I have an artist now that is clearly fantastic at drawing things, but anytime he draws a living person, he just can't do it unless it's chibi or whacky proportions.

Should I create a company first for steam? Or can I just use myself and then pass to a company later?

You can always refactor later. The most important part is to get things working.

>>529383384
Diablo IV is a great example of this. Diablo is clearly based 99% on Paradise Lost. A right wing fanatic genius piece of work. Then leftists come along, and add to the story "What if being EVIL is GOOD muahahahah" And it's like, you're dumb mother fuckers who ruin everything, like a plague.

individuals pay like 30% tax, corporations pay like 20% tax, AND THEY CAN CLAIM all business expenses out of their revenue, and only pay tax on "profit" (revenue after "expenses") which individuals can't do, so everything you decide to call a business expense gets paid out of pre-tax money, which means you basically get a 20% discount on everything (or whatever your effective corporate tax rate is).

the cost of registering a business is $600/yr, so, it is an equation you can solve. or rather an inequality. is $600+whatever time costs for doing the paperwork, smaller or larger than 10% of your revenue plus 20% of all your expenses?

For people making under 40k from what I remember a typical LLC would probably keep them the most money, and give them liability protection. If they are an S Corp they have more responsibility for paper work, but if they make over 40k it can save you money as you can pay yourself a reasonable salary, and then everything after that is taxed less.

i couldn't get the following sed rule to work

float local_position_y = local_position.y;\n\

local_position.x = local_position_x;\n\
local_position.y = local_position_y;' -i $@/SpineBone.cpp

without complaining sed: 6: "s/parent->worldToLocal\ ...": unterminated substitute in regular expression

and i tried excaping the () and stuff, it doesn't work.


all I want to do is turn

if (parent) {
parent->worldToLocal(local_position.x, local_position.y, local_position.x, local_position.y);
}


into

if (parent) {
float local_position_y = local_position.y;
float local_position_x = local_position.x;

local_position.y = local_position_y;
}


on the source code in a repo that I don't have commit access too (spine-runtimes) to fix a build error when compiling godot with double precision

in the end I found a new workflow: diff/patch, save the modified file to a copy, checkout the original file, then command like

diff -u godot/modules/spine_godot/SpineBoneorig.cpp godot/modules/spine_godot/SpineBone.cpp >modules/fixSpineBoneCpp.patch

and apply it with patch $@/SpineBone.cpp modules/fixSpineBoneCpp.patch


$@ is a variable holding "godot/modules/spine_godot"

probably there is a better way to do this but i dont know what, some kind of git submodule overlays or something maybe.

If your game is a sleeper hit though, all of a sudden you'll get hit with all this income and get smashed on taxes, at least in America. I guess you'd have to base it on wish lists and probability you'll really shoot over 50k income.

>>529384301
Sure. Here's the ones that also have an animation. Feel free to use them if you want, when I finish making everything I'll probably put them in a bundle and sell them as assets. Not that I think they're worth using anyway, but it won't feel like time wasted this way.

i cannot find any realistic scope other than 2D with flaticon.com for art.
seriously, everything else is ambitious and cool, but i will never get it done.

>>529382823

>>529391672
>I should give up on the idea that others will play the shit I make.
you had that idea? I couldn't tell.

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.

Taking a look at this guy's video >>529366687
He played Hollow Knight, liked it, made a clone with his own spin on it. Didn't sell much.
Then he played Vampire Survivors, liked it, but noticed that end-game you stop moving and basically become a tower defense game, so he made a Vampire Survivors tower defense game and made 50k dollars.
Then he played Rusty's Retirement, decided "hey I can put my own spin on it", bought an asset pack, made a Rusty clone and made 10-20k.
If your goal is just making a game, you could try this approach, play some recent, popular indie games and give your own spin on it, instead of trying to emulate the greats of the old who had a team anyway.

My game is art.

you just know creative work is a miserable existence when people try harder and harder to cope with strategies like "do it for the love" or "do it as a hobby".
it's just a fact of life that you have to do things that give you resources for survival. you cannot just sit there and draw animals in the sand all day if you gotta hunt for food to survive.

all the "soulful" games you admire were created in the tech or indie bubble, which means they received tons of funding. they didn't make it because they love it, they made it because it made them fucking rich. todd howard is not a broke indie dev.

we're not going to make it are we? money is fake, people are angry, competition everywhere,

>>529400562
why the '...' ? I'm curious.

>>529401582
I use meshes for that stuff. You'll need to put the UI meshes onto a separate layer that your main game cameras cannot see, then add a second camera that only sees the UI meshes and then put it onto a render texture.
Then the render texture will be drawn on the canvas under the regular UI

>>529401410
eric schizo you're quite the colorful character i must say

cool jam
https://itch.io/jam/micro-jam-042/entries

It's crazy how many of you have no idea what you want or why. That's like the basis of creation and you're fucking that up. I've wanted to make my game for like 20 years and the idea and vision has never changed and I am driven to complete it after learning the necessary skills.

>>529401907
but if this current project is a project hop from the original idea, wouldn't it be more like a project pingpong?

Moving to Orlando, Florida this September.
I looked up if there are any game companies in Florida, and there's not that much, so my best bet there to make vidya is to just like, make my own.

Cris what am i looking at

>>529404345
Go fuck yourself then you whiny bitch.

>>529403656 (me)
Also, another thing I looked up is the cost of living and the cost of a single br apartment in Orlando should I ever decide to stop being a neet and live on my own.
To live comfortably in orlando, you'd ideally need like $4.4k. A quarter of that goes to apartment rent.
>A single adult should aim for a salary around $57,912 to live comfortably, says Apartments.com
Therefore, if I were to make a game as a jobby, I'd have to ensure it at least makes $60k in the full year.
To do that, it'd need at least 20k people wanting to get it at $10.
Harsh.
($1k rent apartments in Orlando look like picrel btw)

How much does a hitman cost in Colombia?

>>529404364
It's a 4.4 new feature.

The player can be embeded inside the editor.

>>529404647
you understand blogging is one of the main food groups of the internet right anong?

The Joe Rogan of gamedev.

>>529404446
I'm not whining, I'm point out of the hypocrisy of the whiny posters here who moan about progress but then don't even view the progress provided.

>>529404594 (me)
Btw, here's the source of my claim about how much the game would need to make:
https://impress.games/steam-wishlists-sales-calculator
>>529404647
At least I'm not cris.

>>529404660
And that serves what purpose? I remember when we didn't have editors and made games just fine

>>529404648
cris charges 10k colombinos

>>529404742
that's a good way to put it.
it'll be fun when we interview with him.

>>529404874
I don't think Cris will carry out the hit I'm gonna ccomission

>>529404742
He looks like seth rogen or some other random BS actor, I can't explain why

>>529404868

Here is an example of shit text presentation.
I bet you feel fatigued even looking at it, but with some better margins, a font better than >hurr durr italics, better paragraph styling, illuminated first character etc, it would instantly shoot from from "literally notepad.exe" to something readable.

The Misleading Statistics of Steam Reviews

How did this game get so popular?

>>529404594
>$1k rent apartments in Orlando look like picrel btw)
fucking bourgeois swine

>>529404594
Why move to Orlando Florida? seems like a shithole.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm considering making games as a hobby instead of a jobby (so like, make games that aren't too serious in scope and are just being made for fun), while working at a theme park
Might kinda be boring tho

>>529405439
Never even heard of it lol

>>529405471
My parents my autistic ass is stuck with want to escape the bipolar weather of my current state and move to somewhere warmer that has a lower cost of living
So they picked Florida

>>529405536
The paradox is that the hobby mindset is the only way to make a truly good game. The jobby mindset is poison and makes you try to out-slop the big sloppers, which is impossible.

>>529405219
Oof. If that's an item you find, why not cut up that giant loredump into snippets and leave them in places important to the artifact?

>>529405219
I would just assume it's AI written flavor text if it looked like that and not read it. that said I did read this because I'm talking about it and don't think it's AI because of the grammar mistakes.

Hope it's obvious this isn't my game, it's Wrath of the Righteous. Just a great example of really awful design that I see way too much of, I think often because devs don't always have a non-autist stopping them.

>>529405824
Pillars 2 handled this brilliantly, unique items have upgrade paths and as you proceed down a path it reveals more of the lore behind the item, also the lore depends on the path you take with it which is really cool.

I just watched a video on youtube yesterday the algorithm served up 'I Can Spot AI Writing Instantly'

>>529406809
I'm really not sure what you're saying here. That devs should take meds? That I'm crazy for showing off an example of bad text presentation?

BTW, I got my hands on a Dell Latitude E7440 I could potentially use as a test rig for low end machines.
If my game can run on literal potatos like this then it should run on just about any modern computer, right?

>>529407082
I showed an example of bad text presentation, mentioning a few ways it could be improved, and suggested that often certain kinds of devs overlook these vital things because no one is checking it over saying "Actually this is autistic and needs work."

See also Dwarf Fortress, another great example of completely wretched text presentation.

>>529408576

My friend, I think you might have the 'tism. In no way would I call that readable except in the plainest most technically correct sense.

I just imagined a tall tastefully lanky red haired woman with nice overbite and slightly arched eyebrows eating some sort of frozen treat on a summer day and looking at me.

If this guy is anything like that one coder I suspect his skill is overstated. Followed some hugely popular youtube coders tutorial only to find out what I needed from it was mostly worthless for a video game and only really worked in isbesentially a vacuum chamber. Looks like it's just passing himself off as le expert when all he is showing is small scale example that don't face the issues where scaling up even a little presents many issues. Even reading the comments suggested these people didn't do much since they were praising the coder while making mention of how terrible it actually is for a game that isn't so tiny. Not the first time. I wonder if thats the case with this guy? Is he actually smart or is he just making content on this subject that very few people make content on and thus makes himself seem smarter than he really is?

Yeah that doesn't sound like a hobby to me.

Its funny how they mock jobby devs saying you can't make it if you're in it for the money, but wait how do all those big studios exist then?

hey /agdg/, the girls have come to visit us!

>Another experiment, by Martin Seligman and colleagues, examined whether there was a correlation between explanatory styles and the performance of swimmers.[28] After being given false bad times on their preliminary events, the swimmers who justified their poor performance to themselves in a pessimistic way did worse on subsequent performances. In contrast, the subsequent performances of those swimmers who had more optimistic attributions concerning their poor swimming times were not affected.[28] Those who had positive attributions were more likely to succeed after given false times because they were self-handicapping. They attributed their failure to an external force rather than blaming themselves. Therefore, their self-esteem remained intact, which led to their success in subsequent events. This experiment demonstrates the positive effects that self-handicapping can have on an individual because when they attributed the failure to an external factor, they did not internalize the failure and let it psychologically affect them.

What is a "reasonable time" for a vertical slice? What is "still love this idea during the downpoints of development" mean? My score hinges on these two. Like it says love but the category is personal drive. I could end up feeling drained but personal drive means I'd still keep making it as long as I believe its GMI, what would the score be there a 1, a 5 just cause I keep making consistent minimum progress despite morale?

show some C/C++ code so we can compare.

>>529415578
Yes, and >>529415742 that was apparently the only game he could afford as a brown mutt or something because he's not even old enough to have played it when released.

>>529415980
somehow people still defend valve

>>529415895
>Blah blah blah
Yeah cool story.

>>529416041

anon...

>>529415980
Is this a mental breakdown?

>>529415980
sorry buddy, valve is REALLY busy not approving my game for release, theyre all in the break room taking turns laughing so the guy that updates the wishlists will be busy for the next 10 days

5/5 - Average daily concurrent players: 83.4k
5/5 - 23 titles released so far in 2025 with my top 3 tags, but less than half of them are real games and not just barely functional store template asset flips.
2/5 - Best case, 6 months for a vslice is the best I can hope for, but realistically it might be closer to a year. Luckily, a polished vslice would amount to ~75% of the work done, as it is a very system-heavy game, and the systems need to be 100% done for a vslice.
3/5 - I feel like I can finish this game "eventually", even if I have to project hop to a smaller game in between and come back to it later.

Valve is too busy not updating CS2 to provide a basic service to their actual customers (game developers) okay?

>>529416180
>I know I'll ignore the truth and make a shit reply
What a shocker from fagoon

>>529416241
quite literally the low end of mid

>>529416475
Just don't engage with him. Eventually he'll get bored and stop.
Deprive the fag of (You)s and he'll have nothing.

>>529416475
You're the one detached from reality.

>>529415787
GDScript uses string interning, and so passing a string literal is just as efficient as any property access if the compiler detects that it's an immutable string.

>>529414971
Use an explicit &"IDLE" instead of just "IDLE" for extra aesthetics.

>>529415980
reminder that valve invented lootboxes on top of stealing from indies

>>529416593
Hopefully he's arrested soon.

People devvin for Nintendo platforms:
Anyone know how I can get Switch access with no experience?

>>529416750
