hard = bad
easy = good
remember this

I like how you spam your BBC porn trash just to get a legit thread deleted because it doesn't have your tranime slop.

fygoon did 9/11

oh no hes talking to himself now

he's not even trying anymore

Brahmin sisters...how y'all holding up?

Looks like someone's not developing their Diablo knockoff.

>>529812691
>it's still dropping

he actually needs serious mental help lol

>>529812691
lmao

Young people are spending WAY less on video games this year.
Thoughts?

>>529813126
I'm making games for millennial man-children, like me, anyway.

>>529813126
really shitty games, there will be big video game dev dieoff in 2-3 years so you better have a good game ready to make tons of cash

Keyboard input

>>529813541
how hard is porting this stuff?

>>529813297
why is that man covered in mushrooms

how do i get good at character design

Jesus man, this is sad.

>>529813326
They're honestly the best demographic to target. 5th and 6th gen nostalgia is never going to die because millennials play more video games than anyone.

>>529812691
>it's at 570 now

How would you feel if you made $30k gross revenue from a 3 year project?

>>529813541
That diagnostic tool is kinda tight. I think it's Brahmin only thoughbeit. Us VS code dalits don't get to play.

>gamedev discussion gets jannie'd
>offtopic tranime doesn't

>>529814248
I would re-invest into an idle game that takes less than a year to finish

>>529814248
decent, thats about what im expecting
plus i can use the audience as a springboard for my next game

>>529814396
you really need help man

>>529814248
but I didn't make 30k gross revenue from a 3 year project?

>>529814801
Can't they see IP addresses?

>>529814248
It would feel very nice.

>posts made by lawless ban evaders get jannied
>posts made by law abiding loliCHADs don't
Reminder that it's always someone with something to hide that vehemently opposes the thing, be that lolis or gays or whatever. That combined with a total disregard for rules and laws leads to the kind of person to commit real crimes.

>>529814801
I made 30-40 posts that thread, and not a single one of mine got deleted.

Are the rest gonna join her?

>>529815343
On one hand it's bad news, since he(automon dev) released an already successful game before the gambling fighter. On the other, I think his gameplay concept wasn't that great, so it doesn't mean much compared to the other games in the image.

I’m so excited of tomorrow!! My first demon day ever!!!!

>>529815960
I'm gonna fuck you demo in the pussy

>>529814248
Less than what a retail teenager makes in a year hahahaha
>gross
MUCH less, didn't see that at first. Lmao.
I guess I would say "Cool hobby bro", hope you're not spending more than a few hours a week on it.

my demo won't make it

>>529813657
Someone found an exe with the debug symbols so I know what is data, what is procedures, what everything is named, and what the name of the file it is defined in is. I have that all plugged into Ida and I go about defining structs and renaming things until I get pseudocode that I can understand. Then I copy it into my decomp project and refactor it a little so it builds. DOS-specific interrupts and library function calls get replaced with SDL3 or Windows/Unix equivalents. It seemed very difficult at first but as you get into the swing of things and more and more stuff is defined, that helps you figure out other stuff. I haven’t gotten stuck yet.

for ue5 how much more control does learning c++ actually give? are there still things that blueprints can't handle? I'm just making some basic bitch first person horror game to start, but coding is fun and makes u feel cool and bps do not feel good like that

It's Demo Day 63, and you'd like to get something back from all your hard effort.
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.
Note that for any qualifying games I'll be waiting a week to make sure you don't just immediately replace it.
I don't want to list an exact amount, because a game where it really doesn't fit in, or going "the extra mile" (fart noises in your soundtrack, especially in a serious game, things like that) will be rewarded more heavily.
Life handed me some bounty with Bitcoin and GME, so I'm more than happy to "give a little back" ;)

Humiliate yourself for money.

>How do I sign up?
Just add what I said to your game, and post in the thread at some point: "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts" with a link to your game. I have something that will be looking for exactly that phrase.
Add additional notes if you have any such as "I added a fart sound to my music" and how it can be heard for verification.

Monster of SubcultuЯrarity^
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FmiNPf3-Sc

^

"Beneath the veiled auspices of YNI, a cascade of esoteric and forbidden truths has been whispered into the shadowed recesses of my soul, each secret more unfathomable than the last. My mind, once a bastion of restraint, now frays under the weight of these eldritch revelations, teetering on the edge of an abyss from which there is no return. With a heart cloaked in enigma and a voice that echoes with the chill of the void, I proclaim: I shall weave a tapestry of doom across this forsaken realm, extinguishing every flickering life in a silent, inexorable storm, leaving only whispers of my passing in the eternal dark."

What's the biggest challenge you're facing right now?

yni^ 2025:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9yPJS0sk8M

How do I present my deviantlyySubculturarial outstanding project to employers like FROM SOFTWARE, Pearl Abyss, Square Enix, Blizzard, SEGA and more respected companies?

"yayly visit their offices and project your game into them with a powerful projector."

"ask to join a playtester then after some years climb the ladder.
start at the lowest entry level junior positions, gain experience and build a resume."

What data supports those decisions?
Even though I am culturally Japanese and full-time sigme idol those options are way too fragile for me cause I worked so hard and smart on my resume and portfolio 4many years & still working yayly I hadn't even pass to the interview stage in a few Japanese companies probably fue to my unique cute and kind, funny subculturarial UNIQUE personality. What would it take to ensure this never happens again? Let that sink in.

Now. I need to JUMP straight to Middle or Senior positions on some MMO or live services as CEO of fruityEcology since 2017^
^ not only as a programmer but maybe as an artist or designer or so called "fake" yay jobbies like influencer or diversity manager as well. I'll do it!

>Someone found an exe with the debug symbols
cool, but extremely hard without that I guess

huh?

>>529816664
sometimes you need to just go with your aesthetic taste here.

If it is fun, and makes you feel cool. That is reason enough.

What is the alpha channel supposed to be in a packed texture?
I know it's usually
>Green=Roughness
>Blue=Specular
But what's the alpha? The metallic? What's weird is that this is in a Normal Map, not even the Albedo. The Albedo ALSO has a separate packed alpha.
Is there an industry standard?
It looks like a Metallic map to me, but I don't know?

>>529817217
cute & canon

20 hours left!!!!
Will you submit to DD?

>>529817239
alpha is transparency

>>529816962
Yeah, having the debug symbols is what made it seem achievable to me in the first place. It is the holy grail of decomp projects. I think I could do it again without debug symbols now that I know what I'm doing with these kinds of tools but it's a huge head start to already have a rough idea of what everything is.

whats a good name for a dev? im thinking "maldavius figtree"

>>529817403
Anon.... It's a packed texture, it's a little more advanced than that..........

This new janny has the right idea with all these posts NVKES but the probably is that he gets the wrong target half the time

>>529817239
in most games i've modded they use alpha channel for emission because it's the least used

>>529817480
Theodore Cognition

>>529817091
yeah but I need to get rich NOW

>>529817598
id be cool with it if the tranitor actually followed the rules and deleted all the offtopic posts instead of letting his friends shitpost while accusing half the thread of being fygoon
from my pov the anti fygoon schizo spamming reports is worse than him, few devs including kludge, horbro and myself get banned for no reason because of the anti fygoon schizo (either grassfag or kannadev considering that the janny is only active during US westcoast hours before i go to bed)
im sorry but if this keeps going i may become as obnoxious as fygoon as retaliation

>>529818031
doing what you enjoy is going to get you through the day to day. You also need to be grateful for the present opportunities and enjoy the process of creation.

>>529817239
In PBR, Metallic is Specular.
Some other possible channels are:
>Emissions
>Rim
>Clearcoat
>Anisotropy
>AO
>Height
etc

Anyone can pack their own textures however they want. I don't think there's a standard. Your best bet is to find and read their shader code.

my game is going great!
im studying different IK solutions, im between Animations.Rigging package for Unity or make my own IK solution.

i love sucking cock, what is the best game engine for people like me?

Imagine an overweight woman in her 30s saying this but about wanting to be a paid ballerina

Literally what you sound like, babe

>>529817642
I think you're right. The alpha is a black/white channel of course but if I mix it with red it looks correct, I think that was it. I wouldn't have thought of that, thanks.
>>529818320
Sadly I don't believe they have a shader code.
>>529817480
vius looks like virus so I won't never never ever play your game with a dev name like virus sorry

>>529819159
Assuming this is Bethesda, the most commonly used channels are AO, Roughness, Metallic, and Emissive.

>>529814801
It probably was the same person. You know who.

https://www.tiktok.com/@opensauce/video/7459878366976412958

well? what we think?

>>529813541
a better approach is setting up some sort of input struct with "forward", "exit", "fullscreen" or whatever else, update that struct every update and then in your update loop you check for those input states to do specific actions.

i feel bad for him, he has mental health problems

no juniper
no click

you cannot make nostalgia games anymore because all the hits in the last decade were nostalgia games. you'd basically need to have a story like "when i grew up i liked stardew valley so decided to make a new game like that"

ummm why is last thread way below bump limit and you have new thread, janny is gonna FREAK

>>529820324
13k members WTF! Probably 99% of the members are those who ask how to move a sprite on the screen, this is the state of almost all game development servers unfortunately

>>529820074
most games with specular/metallic workflows pack their channels exactly like that, something that was probably taught in universities across the last decade or so idk but basically any fantasy realism game i've played uses that same methodology

>>529820605

maybe it's time to create one like this

I wonder how that game about being an /agdg/ janny is going

>>529821150
You type retarded so honestly you deserve it

Added some vfx and only now noticed strange artifacts on it during camera zooming, as if the sprites lost transparency channel, I guess this is something like automatic lods for paricle system. Will have no access for my pc for days so there is no time to fix it and submitting as it is

This way it's actual whiplash code doing the keyboard handling though. I am just translating the SDL keypresses to the old PC set1 scancodes and plopping them into the buffer whiplash reads them from.

>>529820824
so have to waste 10 hours a day for three years on the aggy discord, talking shit until I get noticed, right? yeah, no thanks

>>529821420
thats steam though, their numbers are fucked by bots and shit

>erm n-no! the real pedos are the people who dont like loli posters
is there a sadder cope than this

Is there a point to storing a position as separate coordinate or should I just bundle them up in a vector2 struct or similar?

what

>>529822196
excuse me?

>>529822196

>>529822196
if the 2 values are part of the same coordinate system it makes sense to keep them together

this aint your 'cord, i can be obnoxious too if i want so lets respect my freedom of chudism

>>529822196
Do enginedevs really

why did my factual post about troonalis get deleted? is posting truth nvkes against the rules now?
if you play the game youd know that the game has a very clear anti-male agenda, if it was anti-black or anti-LGTB it would be called a racist game like that polack slop hatred

No one cares. Post game or go back to >>>/v/

is 23k really pigslop territory? id say its closer to "cult classic" but idk if the console sales are much better

now that the dust has settled... was he right?

Janny deleted a thread and banned the op who made the pic rel thread for spam. The op appealed on rizon and got his ban reversed. He posted the screencaps on discord (usernames redacted).

I don't envy the guy cleaning up after the schizos, but he shouldn't be overzealous and ban innocent people.

>I don't envy the guy cleaning up after the schizos, but he shouldn't be overzealous and ban innocent people.
exactly, personally it just pisses me off even more and doesnt make me want to play nice with janny
the janny is retarded for blindly following grassfag's mass proxy reports in first place, not everyone is fygoon

>>529824007
>innocent people
You are not innocent if you respond to nodev off-topic attention seeking faggots. You are giving them exactly what they want, encouraging them to shit up the thread even further, and deserve a long vacation together.

>>529814248
Considering I never accomplished anything in my life I'd see it as a massive achievement

>>529824354
if anyone used mass proxies to report all your /qa/ tier meta fag whining you'd get a long vacation too, ironic no? autistic freak

>>529823717
is it just a fancy boolean or what

>>529824512
I've made hundreds of posts over the last few days alongside both mass thread purges, and I have not had a single one of my posts removed. Post game or fuck off back to >>>/v/. You don't belong here.

today visiting /agdg/ actually taught me about something new (packed textures)
it's so simple but so clever

>>529824669
its opacity/transparency mask on the skin material

>>529824916
genuine naive question, wouldn't it be less costly to just hide those verts selected by the clip mesh?

>>529814248
in the shithole of a cunt i live in, with that money i could enjoy a kingly life for a couple of years while working on a new gayme

>>529823452
I don't get it

>>529823452
here's right, doing something for a long period of time and getting zero players absolutely stings

i wish i could kill my devself and retry my devlife with a new set of games

>>529823452
no players at all means he probably has something set up wrong

>>529824849
im literally working on my game, whats yours?

>>529823809
I'm also trans btw. Forgot to mention that part.

>>529825223
Brazil?

>>529824669
>>529825151
Yeah, it's a fancy boolean like Blender's Boolean function.
It's not an "opacity/transparency" mask, rather it doesn't render the verts within and it's incredibly well optimized. You can tell the vertices aren't being rendered in wireframe mode.
It's fun! Dunno why that other anon replied for me.

>>529825409
every day can be the start of a new devlife

>>529826076
but every day i come crawling back to my old devlife and my old games and devcommunities
i don't want all of this baggage, good or bad, but what other option do i have

>>529825954
I thought that would be the case, never had to try this myself. what is the game about?

Souls-like indie game about depression.
I already posted the thesis here shortly after Split Fiction came out, it's in the archives. For many years now I've been posting in these threads. I try to only post game footage when I have a legitimate question about something, and I try to keep it disconnected from me. Though after Split Fiction came out I'm much more open about it, not like someone will steal my idea anymore.
Here's the title screen, I'm very proud of it. It has the "glow" that's only present in DS1 and DS2. DS1 Remaster, DS3, and Elden Ring all lack the "glow."
https://files.catbox.moe/3tfkrm.mp4

>>529829237
imagine not tricking agdg to steal ideas from you, so you get free games based on your ideas.

>>529827210
And that's where you're mistaken. Milei's been practically unstoppable since he became president. The main problem his country has is that much like the US, it's federate, thus their provinces/states have far more independence than a more conventional country would.

That's why some places like Formosa remain commie shitholes while others like Mendoza have kept themselves prosperous even under tha thieving bitch CFK's rule. Their governors are very powerful and run the provinces like smaller countries.

imagine not being a jill of all trades

>>529829302
interesting

>>529829302
>Here's the title screen
great work it does look like an awesome intro scene
for what it's worth it gets me expecting an expensive-looking game

I don't play /agdg/ games no more
Never play /agdg/ games
Except for a little bit of Risk of Rain
Never play /agdg/ games

>>529829302
There are a lot of colorful indies for souls likes in the past 2 years anon, it doesn't get much new per year and you are already out of touch

>>529830068
Risk of Rain was made by an aggy daggy dev? :o

>>529830094
Well seriously it’ll be more like Kingdom Hearts 1 combat.
I said indie souls-like about depression as a meme

>>529830194
no it's technically an /agdg/ game, if you've ever posted here ownership belongs to the community

I need a new game idea. (I like low fantasy)

that's genuinely insane

Not sure if I like these proportions or not.

>>529830771
Yes, but you were only accidentally right.

sometimes you can see outside of the bounds of a map and there's scenery and shit in the distance. sometimes a stretch of terrain out to the horizon. how can i do this? would it be a terrible idea just to make a fuck huge mesh in blender and fill it with billboarded scenery and the like? i know source games did a mini skybox located out of bounds in the map but seems complicated. pic related.

>>529817496
Thats what the alpha channel is, you have 4 channels if you're using BC1a.
I normally just pack it in the diffuse and leave the rough, AO/SS, metallic in one texture. Normals use BC1n so you cant pack it there

>>529830941
I don't know wether or not that's historically accurate or even if you care but I'll dare say I like when spears are depicted as actually Long

>>529831423
what could anon possibly mean by this

>>529831093
they're normally just tiny images and super low poly assets placed around

Yes in the sense that you're learning. No in the sense that you're producing usable assets. Keep at 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.

good ones maybe, as a non pedo id rather play a furry game like atlyss that i can at least enjoy even as a non furry
i cant think of a pedo game i enjoyed playing, not even black souls if you consider that (combat is cookie cutter and when you solve it the rest is shit), i think pedos are more consumers than creators as far as disgusting fetishes go

>>529837481
It's pretty good. I haven't gotten around to playing with it myself, but the SkeletonModifier stack works fairly well based on videos I've seen of it. The only thing we're missing is a free complete ALS-like movement controller. Anyone making one wants to charge for their implementation, and therefore isn't getting a community to work on it and fix it.

>>529839762
Mine was a m1a1 Abrams replica from Google images I was looking at. You're not slow but just need to practice more, you got it.

So do you guys that are already in the process of making games come up with a novel/interesting gameplay mechanic or loop and then work back to justify it via narrative, or do you come up with a narrative first and then make a game to explore it?

I ask because I've been hitting the wall on how to best make a narrative work as an actual enjoyable playing experience, and I'm thinking I'm doing it backwards maybe.

To that end I actually started just writing recently and think I'd be better off just making a novella for the thing I currently have in mind and going back to the drawing board for game ideas.

>>529840219
It can go either way. If you ask a guy like Tim Cain, he'll say narrative first, and then choose gameplay mechanics to match. Smaller indies typically go gameplay first, and mostly don't even bother with a coherent narrative. If your game is a VN or VN-with-extra-steps, such as a 4-niggas-in-a-row-RPG, then starting with a novella would be a good idea, since the narrative is the focal point, not the gameplay.

narrative is number go up

>>529840563
Okay, thanks. I was aiming for a VN to get a better idea of how to manage scope and have a more clear end goal for the purposes of a first project. I think if that's the case I'll continue the novella route and then work from the completed story to explore variations from that primary narrative.

name any game idea that is good and not weird niche slop.

From the unofficial research I've done, I think it's pretty clear that you need to get a gf before you really get into gamedev as a primary hobby. It immediately turns you into something like a doddering old man with model trains to them.

thats a lot of mediocre games

"A good gamedev must never be satisfied with what he does. It never is as good as it can be done. Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he’s usually too busy to wonder why. He is completely amoral in that he will rob, borrow, beg, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done. The dev’s only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it. He has no peace until then. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the game made. If a dev has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the “Stardew Velley” is worth any number of old ladies."

Ouch, Godot notoriously has chunking issues (there was a big forum drama with a C# boomer weighing in) AND has performance issues with tilemaps, you can do it but you gonna have to use C++, custom resources (not tilemaps) and basically do it by hand. It's one of the area where Godot sucks at, oh and you gonna have issues with world coordinate precision for big worlds too btw.

>>529844808
With Godot Tilemaps? Probably not. You'd have to write your own.

Progress.
I've been adding some UI to display the stats of the player with the ball. When getting ready to pass the opponents in the way will be displayed in red. The UI animates in / out too.
There's a red indicator on the floor which highlights which defenders can intercept the pass.
I am now ready to have the defenders attempt to block the shot.

the first reality that every solodev has to swallow is that you need to make a 2D game.
the positive thing about this is that your game might run on every shitty laptop so you have a massive target audience. unless you optimize your game like shit.

>>529846476
I wouldn't think so but I don't have experience with unreal 2d, in general terraria is not an easy game to clone there are a lot of performance pitfalls. Why not make a kingdom clone instead, it's doable in Godot.

The fact that you are unable to creatively iterate on something to put your own spin on it unless it's directly staring you in the face, means that you're 1) NGMI and/or 2) destined to make derivative slop
I'm sorry to put it to you this way, but good luck anyhow.

>game has ammo that you can run out of and have to find more

>>529851660
Why not worry about finishing your game first before you start daydreaming?

>>529851831
No, my point is that I not longer enjoy anime and manga because I'm not emotionally stuck at 15-16 years old.

>>529852247
Tough question to answer. First game that comes to mind was very formative for me, Doom2. I liked how judicious you had to be with your resources, and make decisions like "even though I have some rockets I have a ton of bullets so I'll use those even though they're not as effective".
Similar with spell slots I guess. Holding onto Fireball makes it feel amazing when you finally go "okay, now is definitely the time to use this."
There's also the idea that if there are no resource limits, why would I ever cast or use a weapon that's anything other than the top thing I have? So now there's less variation in playstyle and less decisions about how to approach things.

I'll ask you in return: Why don't you like it?

Fact: someone who has never seen or heard of any kind of anime, could make a VN, which would have no traces of anime art style or themes.

Sit with this notion awhile until it can sink in.

>>529853825
I already watched the good shit.

I mean, I'm not complaining because it would be stupid for me to tell people what to read.
Most people wanna read about how miyamoto shigeru minessota saved the world.

Most literary fiction is just college faggots being clever about some marxist literature of 1950 about how capitalism is evil, and we require a new revolution of cyber tendencies of meta philosophical meanings, inspired by indigenous anti capitalists anti colonialism anti european ant white anti patriarchy, about how we will reach utopia if we kill all white people and make all white women pregnant with black male seed.


>>529854050
Nigga, I am complaining is dogshit writing.

Not that the themes are bad.
I want to literally write an isekai harem story with 250 females to get pregnant.

But I want to write that shit properly, with the fundamentals of good writing.

Just like how Sade is the sick fuck shit, but is written better than 99% of non porn stuff.

Yeah, Expedition 33 being done with 30 dudes and Palworld only having one coder in the beginning teaching everyone else how to make a game with a small studio is making me see the writing on the wall, I think Indie devs should seriously consider the move to Unreal. I get that a lot of us are /g/ users who want FOSS and Indie shit to succeed, but Indie studios are making triple A tier games with hand fulls of people, and Unreal is only getting easier and better. This video here pushed me over the edge, the nanite system for player/NPCs now looks crazy. Doing LOD shit by hand was fucking annoying. https://youtu.be/HotEq_0XMSo

I was joking about slop media.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf8EYbVxtCY

My standarts for quality writing is shit like on the western front.

Last 5-8 months I've been studying seriously world history and world mythology and religion.
And now I can't enjoy slop media.

It's just an empty simulacrum of what appears to be a collection of tropes from media.
But the issue is the lack of realism in the story.

The characters aren't based on real life, neither their suffering is based from people with actual mental problems, life goals, life dreams, people that sweat, pee, poo.

It lacks the bleed that soliders that died at the trenches of WW1 had.
It lack Truth.

All I asking is truth in stories, not a simulacra of anime tropes.

The issue is the lack of truth, not the lack of anime tropes.
How can you enjoy anime stories and marvel heroes, when you read about the suffering of Stalingrad, where soldiers just said god bye to their families, singing polyuska polye, knowing they wont return back and nobody will bury their bodies, their families wont have a burial site to visit him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEx6TjgdAWg

How can you read goku using the power of magic and bullshido ki, saved the world, as if that will help you ignore the mental pictures of a donkey being killed in gaza trying to carry food to starving civilians.

How can you enjoy crappy simulacra knowing very well what lies buried in history books?

>>529855707
Based. You learning C++ too or using Blueprint or already knew C++?

>>529855186
Have you ever even downloaded UE yourself? If you're just trying to talk yourself into doing so, then I also encourage you to give it a try. As someone who has made a few prototypes and game jam games in it, I'd say it's fine if you have a studio of 30 people who can each be individually responsible for one task and that's their full time job. However, it is not fine for a solo or small team developer who is forced to wear many different hats. It takes an eternity to learn everything, because every feature in UE works differently, since they were all created by different teams that don't talk to each to each other. Meanwhile, a reasonably competent dev can learn how to use any feature in Unity or Godot in a small fraction of the time, since they all work roughly the same.

>https://www.mobygames.com/game/215998/palworld/credits/windows/
Also, Palworld was not made by one guy. Not even close. They have a studio with a prior ~$20m+ revenue game, and the developers all had close to a decade of experience working with UE already.

Thanks ChatGPT, now make me an image of an elf woman doing some gardening in her underwear, wide-hips, red hair

is anybody going to stream the games this weekend?

>>529855931
I have a coding background, as in I took a few courses 10+ years ago... so I WANT to learn C++, but I also want to just get into the nitty gritty and start making it too and not spend a whole year struggling with coding. I'm the retard that keeps asking about blueprints vs c++

>>529856593
About 7 years ago, yeah. I ended up sticking with Unity then moving to web dev for work before making some games with three.js which was dogshit

Also the Palworld guy WAS NOT one guy, the story was only one guy knew how to do game dev and taught everyone else in his small studio.

Blueprints are easy, FF7 Remake's combat uses Blueprints and behavior trees.
A mix of C++ and Blueprints makes the perfect game. Although Blueprints alone aren't bad at all.

i cant wait to see what they do with this... do they keep maintaining that theyre a monopoly even in the face of antitrust consequences or do they bitch out and pull out the internal documents that prove they're not actually a monopoly and have it on the public record that theres no reason you need to be giving them a 100 dollars and a 30% cut....

>>529861267
Many such cases.

My game has four "waifu" characters. They follow the traditional four personality axis:

- Stable introvert (kuudere)
- Volatile introvert (dandere)
- Stable extrovert (deredere)
- Volatile extrovert (tsundere)

I have all the characters fleshed out except for the tsundere. Anyone have any suggestions/inspirations?

>>529861170
if you pay the steak youre vouching that you believe steam is a monopoly

Time to face the facts. Your game is either systems-based, or it's systems-cringe.

i need projects for my resume. are there any game dev tools you guys wish existed but don't.

what does kekypow mean?

I think I got it.

Imagine chess, but the story is basically the hero who is the god of chaos, is now given the task to kiss and get pregnant the girls, which is mechanically just capturing her piece, like chess.

But doing this means they fugged, and the girl is now pregnant with his seed, so she stops being a divine being and now is exiled to the mortal realm, to be a new divine mother of the hero's children.

Basically the mechanics are about the MC gathering items and resources, until she has taken enough wealth to have a comfortable life as the mother of his children.

Eventually the MC has captured all female pieces, which is an emulation of mongol conquest, and that's basically how the first mothers of all the nations and humans were spawned on the planet.

this happened to me last night

even worse I remember that it was a million dollar game idea but I forgot it after I took my morning poop

I'm tired, so tired. So many updates to this codebase. I finally finished it around early June and then it began, all the nuanced updates I had to make to it so it'd work as intended. It's enough stuff that I can't just make it run as is without freezing up the game. Okay so I did some stuff to avoid it freezing up or even preventing crashes. Oops, now stuff isn't running sequentially. New to this stuff so at first I assumed I messed something up in my code when it was just the order of things running. Okay now I have to adjust the entire code to work with this. I'm so very tired of this. I wasn't expecting this game to be so difficult, yet here I am some time later with so little to show for it. So much effort on the back end but the front end of the game? The average gamer would think I did very little, with how little the front end has changed it's easy for them to assume that what I worked on wouldn't take more than a few days. Maybe I'm not cut out for this. So much time and effort down the drain on gamedev over the course of many years :(

>>529877438
Systems programming is extremely difficult. This is why most Steam games, as well as most games on /agdg/, are simple action arcade games, because they have minimal interconnected systems, and any systems that do need to connect to others do it through robust premade interfaces like the physics engine.

>>529873723
>>529874883
I feel like the engine doesn't really exist, it doesn't make sense to make an engine before the game. I believe what makes the most sense is to make the game, and develop the tools you're missing along the way, eventually as you do that you both will have something you can call an "engine", and a game. After all, a somewhat valid definition of "game engine" could be, "a set of boilerplate tools and functionalities that the game uses", so it doesn't make sense to just develop a bunch of tools without knowing what they're going to be used for. The axe was invented because wood had to be chopped.

>>529878117
I haven't even started making my own game for me yet. I've been forced into making a game the average Steam gamer would enjoy. I can only start making my own game for me after I'm rich and can afford to buy my own studio. Any faggot who spouts "dream game" bullshit while working on a game solo with no budget has the dreams of a gnat.

>>529878117
Depends on how rich. If I had enough money to conceivably found a small studio without bankrupting myself, I'd hire and make an "our game" that would be more ambitious and better than a mere a "my own game." Otherwise, I'd settle for making a "my own game."

Decided to divide content I need to work on into batches. Measured how much time it'd take to properly implement one of them. Based on that it seems the earliest I can think of release is 30 weeks, plus 10-20 for work that couldn't have been included in this workload

Day 34 on a Thread for Project C-Con – "AI Overview" Edition
Journal logs are being posted into /agdg/ daily.

Did a little short ten minute stint for tonight just following more onto the C++ course. Tomorrow I'll have a lot of free time so we may switch over to the modeling course too. I looked up the SEO results for C-Con and realized that in the "AI Overview" for Google, it actually shows this project as top result, and even gives a good summary of what the game idea is. Very funny and cool.

What is Project C-Con?
