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.

Congratulations to: Eternal Enigma: Avarice's Abyss,

Here's a message for Osur, Federx, Blorbdev, SoaringMoon, Horbror, Marmascus, PATdev, Rodbot, and all the other pests on the inner circle:

This system doesn't work. It's a rat race with too many promises and no retribution. All I wanted was to be treated like a human. I never got even that.
>I want to be treated like a human
>no can do you need to be able to work with a game engine
>I want to be treated like a human
>no can do you need to be working on an actual playable game
>I want to be treated like a human
>no can do you need to be working on a good game
>I want to be treated like a human
>no can do you need to have finished a game
>I want to be treated like a human
>no can do you need to release a game commercially on steam
>I want to be treated like a human
>no can do you need to have released a game with at least 10 000 reviews only then you will be acknowledged

Do you really not see the fault with this system? You are lying to people when it was never for a moment about games. The only people here being treated like humans are your own friends, and not based on their games in any way. It's a scam. You are never treated like a human or given any attention no matter what you do. Your demands are unreasonable. I'm just a person. You are pure evil.

huh?

Timothy my dear boy, I'm afraid analytics don't work on this special site of yours, if they did I'd see numbers here.. right?

timmy has wishlists? huh....

Not unlike the normal one

Maybe it's not fully implemented yet, my game would surely score hundreds of wishlists by now

I'm typically pretty humble, but I have to say that my progress has absolutely skyrocketed since I've found a gf.
Seriously, if you're floundering and this is missing in your life, you should 100% just go for it.

This is my demo day

>>530014140
late reply but I just wanna say, eventually hosting all that sloppa and serving it to customers will weight more than the money they made from the submission fee. 100$ can host that game for only so long until it becomes unprofitable because the game is free or 0.99$ as boku said..

Does demo day have anything to do anymore with the "agdg community", whatever that is?

Is it really just the discord chatroom now? Did we lose the zoomers to the social hierarchy?

>>530020607
/agdg/ changed forever when most of the oldfags were killed off by Covid. Now aggydaggy is 99% crusty old grumpy 35yolds with no future and no souls

>>530000000

anyone else make a ton of progress and never share it?

>>530020712
I remember 'shitposting' by pointing out the posts that weren't progress posts
As in, almost every post was progress or discussing progress. We had passionate arguments and polls about the next game jam, on top of demon days.

Now? It's all just video shame.

>>530020882
Yes, it's the only way to be productive anymore.

more liek demo gay

How do people draw so small
Im trying to make a rpgmaker game but the sprites are too tiny
I tried to draw as small as i can and its STILL OVER TWICE THE SIZE IT NEEDS TO BE
HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO FIT A ENTIRE HUMAN IN 48X72 PIXELS

>>530020607
A ton of devs were driven off from the threads by bad actors. They're either gone (Yark, Robot Templar, Alchemichal) or they post only in discord (Busted Metal, Project Landsword).
The devs have left, but the shotposters stayed, so now the threads are mostly shitposting. Why stay when you have posts like 530018621 in every thread?

It feels like alot of games on demo day aren't demos. They are prototypes, incomplete, and very rough, couldn't be called a demo.

>>530020902
I would engage more with the community if I knew there was even one single active dev who actually gives a shit about any of this but that's not the case. Faggots like Bigguydev and Osur and Rodbot and Stomygame and a lot of the peondevs care a lot more about the social aspect than they do the games, and that's why I stopped trying to participate. I still have no fanart, and no dev nickname, and nobody ever mentions my game or reacts to my progress. This place literally became r/indiedev

>>530021094
Anon, the engine is meant for pixelshart games... just use godot or something else and implement your own systems brah

>>530021360
you forgot to mention Soaringtroon

I spent months trying i just cant.

>>530021474
I used to believe every could learn it if they just tried. But nowadays I'm convinced that a lot of people are simply too stupid.

we used to witch hunt whodevs
now how much of demon day is whodev

>>530021474
>i cant art
>i cant code
>i just cant
is there anything you can do?

>>530021632
Name one

>>530021474
There's no magic involved in programming.
It's not "can't", it's "won't". Which is fine, but own up to it.

>>530021216
demoday has never been about the 'demo' meta. you just post your game in progress. the name betrays the intent, or rather, demos coming back into vogue messed with your perception of the term. when demoday started, no amateur indies made 'demos'(finished self-contained game snippets)

>>530021632
The quality of the thread has nosedived for a while I don't blame anyone for not progress posting

>>530021474
I was gonna downtalk you but honestly lately I found myself having less and less patience for learning new things, being dumb and amateurish, etc.
When I was 20 I spent like 6 hours on tutorials and learning stuff per day no problem, now any more than 10 minutes of having to do beginner stuff and I just want to take a break.

They say age doesn't matter for learning things, or even that if you get older you learn faster because you're wiser but that definitely didn't happen to me, I mentally regressed. I dread to think what I'd do now if I didn't already learn the basics of everything I cared about back when I had the energy.

>>530021474
It's okay. My tip for you is always be curious about everything and it's okay to look up stuff or tutorials, but always try thinking about why things are the way they are and be curious like that, that's all. If you're trying to seriously make a game and you aren't just learning then probably continue as you are right now.

>>530021360

what's that?

Where Is You're Game?

>>530022284
It goes to another school

>>530022284

I'm not doxxing myself for your holy war

>>530022467
Check the discord, where all the yesdevs have moved.

>>530022585
No game. Understandable have a nice day.

>>530022689
So you have no game too?

>>530022585
Not that anon, but this whole dox thing is stupid, if you want to prove you have a game just post your game sales on Steam, there's no way for anyone to track you down from that and it proves you have a game.

>>530021094
I've got some sprites that're that size.
the secret is, I'm just never truly happy with the small sprites but as long as they aren't too goofy and match the larger sprites I'm fine with it.

Animation helps a ton. Even shitty small sprites look much better with animations. It's a shame I didn't build for animations, instead I just have keyframes.
I dunno. all you can really do is practice, small sprites suck

C# is looking great. If you didnt used it in some years check out this video.

https://youtu.be/YVc35sv52d4

>>530022981
those are not 72 or whatever pixels tall lol

>>530021094
The smaller you go the more you abstract and imply the detail rather than portraying it explicitly.

>>530023198
the file anon posted is 112x192 apparently
I measured those sprites and they're 100x160 -ish
the biggest one is about 160x140, though I'm drawing them in 200x200 boxes

most small sprites I draw are in 300x300 boxes, these ones are just smaller than usual, then I have a 600x600 sprite enemy somewhere

>C shart
Do the needful

>>530021916
I don't know how old you are, but my learning capability has increased with time because at some point I gained work ethic and the desire to actually do shit, so I'm way better at 30 than I was at 20

stripped head from my fightan prototype

>>530018402 (OP)
I plan to add Ultimate Skills for my game.
I think it won't use Mana, but it will have one of two, wich is better?:

A) Long cooldown ~60 sec, with some skill upgrade options to reduce it on some classes
B) Ultimate charging system up to 100%, with conditions to refill it, depending on archetype of the class. (there will be like 4 types of ultimate refilling for 7~8 archetypes)

Possible examples for Ultimate refill conditions:
Archetypes STR, STR+DEX - it constantly refills while you are in combat
Archetypes DEX, DEX+INT - refills when you kill with Crits/Dots/Headshots
Archetypes INT, STR+INT - refills when you spend Energy Points
Archetype STR+DEX+INT - some other stuff, didn't come up with it yet.

Game is fast-paced ActionRPG/Roguelite.

>>530023060
I'm still using c#4 and unity2017...

>>530023779
damn, s he tiny

>>530023580
I'm 34. I guess the thing is I had work ethic when I was young so I peaked there. It's only been downhill for me after 26, both mentally and physically (my hair).

What's the point of demo day if I never get any streams or playthrough videos and all the comments are shallow, short, and low-IQ?

>>530021916
But there isn't much difference in neuroplasticity between your 20s and 30s...

>>530023873
Sovl

>>530023938
damn
yeah I had people balding on my father's side but then read a thing that says it only matters on my mother's side and I realized my mother's side didn't have balding males and my life has been better ever since
then again I remember my great grandfather better than my grandfather I can't remember how hairy my grandfather was

>>530024043
imagine all the people wasting their 20s and 30s stocking shelves or being 'AI engineers' when they could be devvin'
we're in the right place at the right time

The most evil people in life will never feel responsible for their actions

>>530023858
Or maybe I should go B option and mix all those conditions in one to refill Ultimates on all archetypes, something like Overwatch does?

>>530023858
>ultimate move in anything but a fighter
what?

Give me a scathing critique of this sluturai armor I made today.

>>530024626
end your life

I need to draw a banana being held with various hands and such but I really don't want to have to draw the same hand for the 15th time I've drawn them way too many times already
at some point you just gotta trade perfect for "whatever, it works" and focus on more important things, like bananas

>>530024626
my scathing critique is I prefer the thongs / bras to cover more. floral patterned bra + armor on the hips of the thong

looks nice though

https://x.com/SquidShock/status/1939688122201342394

thank you for begging people to review games on my platform, I need the steaks and yachts

i sometimes wonder what a character with my problems would be written like and what would his arc be, but i don't really see it ending with anything else than rejection from all other characters for being an annoying faggot then suicide
probably would make for a poor player character

>>530025091
the guy from yiik

>>530025167
why was he bullied

>>530025313
is it just my own perception or is it narcissistic to describe your own game as post-modern

>>530024954
Yeah the bra and thong are far too slutty. I think the best slutty armor actually covers more and hints at what else can be seen with a google camera angle. I just wanted to see if things like armor was a thing I could make in marvelous designer.

>>530025362
It is a very post-modern thing to do tbhq desu.

>>530025362
The thing is I could tell Yiik was somewhat self aware, but the humor was far too post ironic for me to pick up on 99% of the time. Like I knew there was a joke somewhere, but I wasn't getting it.
So maybe it's genius. Idk.

>>530024626
Covers too much skin

Any streams happening?

I had a dream today that Steam just shut down permanently out of nowhere with all the games on it and I cried like a bitch

>>530026497
fuck off, you never cared about my game

had the dream where my game suddenly got millions of fans but only of the pirated version of my game, like there was a global phenomenon that the whole world decided it was okay to steal just from me
now that i think about it, i could actually see that happening irl from how you guys treat me

I'm trying to build an FPS where you can run on walls and ceilings when you touch them, like it changes gravity.
like in a cube, you could just run into a wall, run on the wall, then the ceiling, etc.

I know how to update the player's "down" vector when touching a wall, but I have no idea how I should rotate the player and I how I should setup movement controls to not break after the rotation.
maybe I need to use euler rotations?

I'm sure there's been games with this mechanic in the past. I just don't have any in mind.
anyone tried something similar? or know of a guide or tutorial?

when is the amount of nodes enough? how much built in stuff should a player get? minecraft has an extremely limited set of redstone things to work with and yet people autism their way into making computers. i already have variable storage and math comparators etc, how far should i go with like built in payment nodes and dice roll winner nodes before it removes the creativity?

>>530021465

>>530026497
>5 different devs
woah

>>530020902
didn't happen. you just have nostalgia for a different brand of shitposting that was actually the same.

demo means demonstration
this "event" is truly a demonstration of how the inner circle's power, ego and influence has balloon way too far
how about we return back to the original meaning? why not?

>>530027384
>why do the bad guys always lose to the power of friendship?

Just played Jusha, what is the next game I should try?

>>530027384
I don't get any views or downloads even when I'm in the top rows. These fuckers are really toying with us and our patience

Tourist here. Does the inner circle actually exist or is it just the paranoid delusions of struggling developers who can't get steam wishies?

>>530027905
of course there is a shadow cabal gangstalking anon

>>530027905
Some guy that steam him playing the demo brought a bunch of dev for a stream and called it the inner circle. Then schizo happened.

>>530027772
It's rigged

>>530027905
I have more wishlists than 99% of agdg but for some (((unexplained))) reason always struggle in demo days. What does that tell you?

>>530023060
Do garbage collected languages actually have a noticeable performance impact on the majority of games if you don't new() destroy() on every frame? Considering how frameworks like Monogame and the two non-Unreal engines utilize it, it can't be that bad unless you make autism tech demos.

Enjoy your demo day suckers

>>530028341
The only problem with GC is that can, under certain circumstances, "stop the world" for longer than a frame, which theoretically leads to the player perceiving lag. How likely that is to happen hinges a lot on the concrete GC method and settings employed, as well as the allocation behaviour of the program itself.
Generally speaking, GC does not have better or worse performance than ref-counting or other alternatives. It’s just that the potential to lose frames can make especially competetively minded players very angry. In your cozy single player game that is so sloppily coded that it occasionally loses frames no matter the programming language, GC or not will not be any problem.

>>530027905
>>530028375
someone explained this a lot better than I can a while back but it has something to do with oversocialization. Normiedevs (like the ones on the discord) who are most often newcomers to gamedev from the last 5 years don't really care about games all that much. They do it for the social aspect, so they will hyperfixate on the games of their online friends and ignore everything else even if it's a game they might like or if it's a very well done game.

I need to hear some ideas about it and maybe a few of some little one way discussions. Not looking for straight up answers, if you mean that.

I'm defying odds by getting NO youtube video or press attention before launch. They're scared, too. Once they realize and all try to scramble to explain why someone succeeded without THEIR HELP (costs $7500 each video :^o) it'll be SO funny.

It’s the "He Who Watches" guy. Curiously that demo was only ever in DD for like 1.5 days before getting pulled supposedly for causing "motion sickness."
The dev had some demos on DD before that, however, that have since been deleted as well. Iirc it was some tech demo of walking around in a building and shooting weapons.
>>530026654
This is literally how the physics work in He Who Watches by the way, as far as I understood.

crab chuds why did we do it (make 'cord feel uncomfortable here)?

>>530029014
So without exaggeration, you claim that every single person on the discord server doesn't care about making games, but only cares about the social aspects?
How am I not supposed to assume you are a complete brainlet?

>>530030016
There's plenty of factors obviously.
If you don't think that that's a major driving force then I would love to hear your explanation of this consistent trend of social-based game development taking precedence over quality or work ethic in modern agdg. "it happened randomly" is not an answer.

Why is the nortuble nigger spamming /v/? Or is that a falseflag?

>>530029896
No, they will become the replacement for the actual baby boomers. A lot of the obnoxious entitled dismissive qualities boomers have are not inherent to old people but millennials very obviously have them too.

>>530030136
The liq agdg discord has a command that closes purely social channels. I'd also like how communicating on an imageboard anonymously is less "social" than communicating with a known identity. Especially considering how people posting anything here worth a damn dox themselves simply by sharing the title of their game, or by submitting to DD.

>>530030225
There is plenty of (ironic) Nortubel fans now. The dev himself hasn’t shown up in a longer while now.

There are 66 demoday submissions as I am writing this, and it will only grow, last demoday had more. If you give each just 30 minutes, you do the math how long it takes to give valuable feedback. It's a lot of work.

If I see the demo of some faggot I already know, I am going to play it, because in the last two months I've been seeing screenshots, gifs, videos, soundbites, and interpretative dance about it. It makes me curious what kind of game it turned out to be. After DD ends, I will see more of this stuff about it as well, the discussion will continue, and we might even talk about how Silent Hill captured horror and later entries failed to grasp it.

If I see the demo of someone I don't know, I will likely have nothing to go by, but the screenshots, title, and cover art. Which might be shit compared to the game. It is more likely that you will be picked by the randomizer, and I play your demo, instead of me picking it for its merits.

That's what been memed into the "inner circle". There is some mad schizo who claims that this is "nepotism", and "cheating" like there is an award being handed out, and a shadow cabal picks who it goes to. So there, you decide whether there is an inner circle or not.

>>530032265
Underage or retarded

>>530032314
So games that years of work have been poured into have less importance than 2 week school projects because of "muh equality"? Nice system you have there homo

>>530032523
I know you are just a buttmad contrarian, but I invite anyone to go ahead, play ALL the demos, and leave a comment on each that isn't just a 2-sentence pity prize.

I will play demos tonight guys. I'm just busy I'm sorry

>>530032647
Were you seriously hoping that we would be groveling at your feet posting progress when nobody even gives a shit about progress. You are completely retarded. The people who have been posting progress the most are usually the ones who make the lamest games because all of their brainpower was used on being attention faggots to farm as much engagement as possible. This is the cardinal rule of solodev. If a dev is spending enough time being a really attention grabbing and persuasive marketer, then that dev is wasting enormous amounts of effort instead of putting it into the game and making something that's actually worth a shit. You should have more sense than that if you want to be a developer. The best games are not the ones made by attention fags. The correlation is inverted.

>Dude, le rpg maker sprites are hard to make, wtf
you get better at drawing low res sprites, by just doing a lot of 8x8 and then doing a lot of 16x16 sprites.

You don't learn to make 32x32 sprites by complaining and trying to make HD sprites.

Just do a lot of 8x8 and then 16x16 sprites as practice.

>>530032314

>why do some devs have friends but I have no friends
>I know, I'm going to get mad at everyone, surely this will fix my problems

the truth is the inner circle exists because some devs decide to engage with the games of other devs which leads to them becoming friends, regardless of if they have commercial success or not

why are crabs like this

>>530034173

>>530034839
This is pretty much what happened except I'm the first speaker and the inner circle are the second

So, if I want to use 2d sprites for visuals which are not pixel art, in what resolution do I make originals? Do I just make the game in a maximum resolution? Won't the files size be very large then?

if any of ya'll are thinking of paying for the inner circle protection fee, it isnt worth it, they still crabbed my game

shut the fuck up

>Won't the files size be very large then?
Yes, it will be. t. struggling with it
Some solutions you may consider:
>for optimizing the size of what you ship (e.g. to get a web build to fit into itch’s 200 MB limit), you can use lossless WEBP compression, it has the best compression ratio of the common codecs for this use-case
>however, WEBP is slow to decompress. (Maybe we can have a browser API for it one day.) If you want to optimize for decompression speed, consider shipping QOI instead. It’s usually a bit bigger than PNG, but if ship a ZIP file, you basically get PNG compression on top, so it’s fine.
>to lower VRAM pressure, you can use GPU-side texture compression. Obviously this can make your sprites look like shit, so it’s probably better to use smaller sprite size to begin with. The only upside of GPU-side texture compression is that you can do it optionally. Unfortunately it seems there is no real common interface for figuring out how much VRAM the GPU has that you are running on, so you cannot decide this automatically but have to let the user configure it.
Some asset examples:
>https://pvgames.itch.io/pvgames-free-assets-apex-predators
The most heavyweight sprites I know, those guys really screwed something up in how they generated them.
>https://smallscaleint.itch.io/8-directional-top-down-character-pack

>>530037863
AI code helps me a lot at work, and I have my chatGPT setup so it can basically generate me certain functions or classes if needed.

>>530037863
Yes it helps me dramatically. Just yesterday I was doing some updates. Instead of updating like 5 areas I just paste the code into chat and say "Update this like the others". And bam. Saves me a half hour of rewriting shit. It also helps when I know code can be done a certain way but I forget the syntax, like maybe some Linq filtering on a list. Or I use it for quick methods. Hey chat, pull back the object based on the ID, make a method that I send the id to and get back the object I need. It's just so quick.

That doesn't mean I don't have complex code I need to read, update on my own etc. Of course. But chatgpt helps me. But my reading comprehension and ability to communicate logically is above the normal person. An NPC who can't form thoughts logicallly from A-Z is going to have a bad time with Chatgpt.

>>530038849

Why people refuse to play the tuto T_T

>>530040507
I tried and it locked up....

>>530040550
Which tuto?

>>530040550
Classic Azurdev experience.

>>530040507
My game basically requires a tutorial, or rather, a pop up that explains the steps the player MUST do to not completely lose. I think I'm just going to force the pop up on game start. Show it when the game first loads, like the menu screen. And then have it again if they push the ESC key to see options etc. So I'll have it everywhere. If they choose to ignore it and quit I guess that's just how it goes. But I will force it in their face once.

>>530039981
I honestly prefer poor but unique rather than competent but bland.
>>530033576

>>530041018
>>530040507
players are experts on ignoring tutorials and not reading, if you force a pop up they will just close it instantly without reading it

>>530040550
Ok, found where the bug from, corrected version is on the itch

zero cute japanese vtubers have played my game...

>>530005859
Because it's software designed specifically for game audio sound design. Can you do most of the things FMOD does by writing tons of code yourself to handle all the complexities of mixing and effects and stuff. Probably, or you could use something like FMOD. It's hard to get across how powerful FMOD Studio (the good part of FMOD) is, if you haven't used it. I'll also say that it's not worth the trouble in my experience and I'd rather have shittier sound but at least with the guarantee that it works.

>>530008296
Causes too many problems and headaches. After FMOD, floating origin bugs were the most difficult to track down and fix because it can go wrong in very subtle ways or require a lot of extra engineering effort to handle some engine edge case which doesn't assume you move the entire world and level ever couple seconds.

>>530041153
This is me and I do this every time. If a game is not comprehensive and intuitive after the first 3 minutes, I will drop it. Cheers!

I am, why cant I click the mission control-room thing?

Anyone know how common Intel HD4000s are these days, or what older integrated GPU I should be looking for that's toaster-tier that can still push 3d graphics via either DX11 or OGL? I'm in need of a laptop toaster to perf-test a Unity project against to see if it's something that'd be feasible to have as a viable target, without having to pull out too much hair fighting against Unity's handling of certain things.

I'm already covered on the desktop end with a 12 year old PC as a worst-case scenario (Ivy Bridge i5 + GTX460). We're talking late-PS2/early-PS3 era levels of graphics targeting with baked lighting, so I'm not sure what's reasonable to look for on the laptop end that someone would actually try to play games on. I don't want to be that guy who goes "1060GTX or higher" like I've seen on a few indie games that run like garbage despite looking like shovelware PS1 games.

is the protagonist to Tamabuki a female?

>>530042449
Anon, I think you’re quite fine if you support GTX460. The more interesting thing from number of players perspective would be supporting Android 4 phones from 2015 or whatever.

>>530037863
If you have a good sense of what is easy enough for current AI and you make it stick to that, it can save you a bit of time.

>>530042449
you do know that outside more VRAM graphic cards didnt improve in the last decade, right?

>>530037863
Not really. There's some niche uses it has here and there, and it's really only good at making very boilerplatey functions for some algorithm or set of API functions that I usually look up because I use it so infrequently. Honestly if you're doing something so repetitive that an AI can help, that's code smell and there's probably a better way to be doing it. At best, sometimes it can be used as a sounding board for ideas and then I implement a better version myself.

Pull up any user interaction - graphics tutorial that suits your taste. It can be assembly, it can be C and SDL, it can be Unity or Godot. Whatever dev you feel like you want to be.
Spend a few hours or days in the tutorial. Until you get the itch to leave the stupid fucking tutorial.
Then just like make game you can make.

I don't think I ever want to get into the hell that is phone game dev. There's just far too many cases of "this one thing is broken on this specific model of phone x50/this OS version breaks X feature" I keep reading horror stories of.

That said, I have studied some 3d model assets from phone game rips a few months ago to see their approach, and the answer was basically: Do it like devs were forced to do it back in the earlier 3d days. 2 drawcalls at most per actor, single atlas+symmetry in the texture to maximize texel space, channel packing normal+roughness into one texture (if the game even uses PBR-like workflow).

Also saw a game that utilized vertex colours for defining the intensity of an overlaid animated pencily texture that it used inplace of vertex lighting from the environment. Actually was a pretty novel way to cheat the appearance of extra detail in what were low-rez character textures, since it was around 10-15% opacity for a lot of the non-clothing portions in regular lighting.

>not-completely-black shading
huh...

>>530047871
Fuck yes

should i feel bad for hardcoding status effects and abilities? for example, when something that might trigger an effect happens, it just calls a function that looks for things that might want to respond, then responds for them. so the responders themselves just have flags and data containers while the behavior is in the function.

>>530047943
I can do non harsh shadow anon

>>530048137
It's not so bad if the behavior can be kept to a single function. It'd be a be tricky with a lot of crossed wires to have objects for each status and ability that call a bunch of functions themselves to get everything done.

The only more moddable version I can think of is having a system that defines each ability with precise values so you can plug almost anything in without having to hardcode anything new, but that seems unwieldy.

I think the issue with AI at present is it can animate if you have the hardware (especially going by the /b/ & /trash/ threads), but good luck getting it in a masked or loopable format.

As far as AI-workflow shit goes, I'm mostly just waiting for it to get to the point of cleaning up my 3d animations for me. I want to do the key poses, and it'd just find the sweetspot of splines & inbetweens for me. Will be awhile before such a thing ever hits Blender though.

Why would he make such a big part of his legacy about chocolate if he's not even much of a chocolate guy?

>>530051336
I think he's an INTJ or something similar. So he likes magical things that don't exactly make sense. Hence the chocolate likely won't be made via a super realistic simulated way. It'll be more like Willy Wonka I'm guessing. Not in a directly correlated way, but the factory will likely be magical, whimsical. I'm curious how he'll match his desire for magic, with actual programming logic. Eventually something must be concrete and it'll be interesting to see what he does.

I spent the last two+ years making a WEG, only to get like 5 patrons. I'm probably going to end up releasing it on Steam for 5 bucks. I thought mine would be different cause it had "decent" writing and actual good renders, but it was my silly mistake thinking WEG players want anything more than lots of sex scenes (I have barely any, just some light fooling around scenes and not even for every girl yet.) Anways, being the white man that I am I can no longer live with the shame of making a porn game. Having to write the sex dialogue is so cringe.

Anyone looking for an artist? I'm finishing up some projects and will have time for something, would like to get more into gamedev. Most of my experience is with 2D (trad and digital) but I've done some 3D modeling.
Still putting together a portfolio and anyhow there's a lot of trolls in these threads.

If you're interested, let me know a little about your game (genre, style, engine, scope: like 6months vs 5 years, commercial/hobby, etc) and we can see if it would be a good fit and we can connect off-site.

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.

if you want money, there are better things you can do than make games
especially with such a short timespan to work with

if you really need to make money with nothing more than a couple of months and what you hopefully mean is gamedev experience with 200 other people then you might be able to pick up on the latest trends and make a quick assetflip off of it. Though corpodev experience doesn't translate super smoothly into indie dev, it can sometimes.

It's around 50, retard

>>530055639
Well it’s an RTS (or RTT) with some unique or uncommon elements. Don’t know how familiar you are with the genre, but usually players pick a "race" like StarCraft has Terran, Zerg and Protoss. In Hypercoven there are no such races, rather the factions are very small and called "Coven." You can control multiple Coven at once and they will produce fighting units for you. Every Coven has only two units to choose from, but at the moment there are already 25 different Coven, so 50 different units.
But it was impossible to find any kind of coherent assets to cover 50 different units with reasonable gameplay and flavor variance, and from an isometric perspective. (Making 50 different bland humanoids would be possible, but pointless.) So the assets I got are extremely incoherent, just watch the trailers on Steam to get an idea. This is the weakest point of the game currently, and like I said, I am thankful about any inspired help I can get. I also don’t have strict designs for the units in the game, many are designed after the asset that I found. So if you feel like just contributing one unit of your own design, that’s already cool.
Generally the ideal approach, to my mind, would be making the game all pre-rendered "2.5D" sprites like StarCraft1, Infinite Engine games, etc. To that effect I could also buy some 3D assets on the internet and you would take care of rendering them to spritesheets in a suitable fashion. If that’s some kind of work you’re interested in. - There is also the need for proper terrain tilesets, or to improve the pixel art ones that I bought.
Some further notable points about the game:
>map can wrap around itself infinitely (so it’s like a planet, only not quite. very confusing)
>unit production is automatic on all Coven you control, no need to do it manually
>since maps are built with Coven on them pre-defined, there is no need to strictly balance all Coven against each other
>engine is custom-built (Rust)

OK, but you don’t really need to interact with the engine? You would only produce the assets, wouldn’t you? I’d just write some adapters to plug in spritesheets, for example, of a certain format. You put the sprites into a folder, name them according to some convention, or write a config file, start the game, and the sprites get loaded so you can test them. For the release build I bake them into the binary.

Thank you to everyone who has played Otaku Zoo and left feedback / bug comments. Very rough state right now but demo day has been very fun. I can not reply to any comments due to all my comments being "awaiting moderation". I only played browser games as I don't want any foreign executables on my PC (working on a gaming VM for next demo day). I will leave my feedback here.

Solitaire Battle - I suck at solitaire and this game was really fun, loads of juice and everything worked. I got filtered by the dog.

Wireworks - Really good streamer bait, however needs some balance tweaking and harder scaling. I make it to wave 250 and hit a money overflow with interest. A great base that can definitely be expanded upon.

6 Ways to 7 - I skipped the tutorial and still don't know how to play craps but it is juiced very well and I was having fun just pressing buttons. The wojaks were a bit of a turn off, but perhaps I'm not the audience for that.

Asset Flip Auto Battler - Seems interesting, I've seen this formula before with Riot's TFT. Maybe I'm just stupid but I couldn't beat the third round. Cool concept however!

Suika Puffworks Demo - Suika but it's always random mode? cool project but it doesn't really do anything new.

that is all the things I had time to play.

>>530056214
Aww shit nigger you forgot my game and i’m so angry because of that FUCK YOU

>>530024043
Nta but my suspicion is that as most people age they just care less and less. Regardless of neuro plasticity, anons ability/willingness to put up with going through gamedev tutorials is going down. Would make sense, my work ethic is down the drain. What a waste that much of it was wasted in the school system, Id rather have had thst work ethic during gamedev, I could've gotten rich by being a hard worker at it. My art skills could probably have improved at a far higher rate, same for coding. And I'd probably have a few or several games released

>>530058882
Please, there really isn't an easy way to say this. I'm sorry but I'm just not interested.
Best of luck to you, really.

This. At 60+ games, just 60 games at 15 minutes a piece would take 15 hours to play through. 15 minutes might not even be enough considering you might get stuck setting up the settings or going through dialogue at the start. But say you only played 60 of all the games there, thats 15 hours. I'm a jobby dev, I don't have 15 hours to waste playing that many games not to mention 15 minutes might not be enough to do anything more than a shallow review of either "NGMI" or "Has potential" or "GMI" so upping it to 30 minutes means 30 hours. And I know for a fact I would not play most of these games even if they were completed and a free copy was given to me.

Inner circle just sounds like a label given to the competent devs desu. Though even with that, their games aren't necessarily GMI tier, just devs whose games look higher effort. In terms of GMI games there are very few here and of those maybe only some that I'd seriously purchase while others are GMI but not my cup of tea.

I play maybe 2-3 new games a year. They are not indie demo-day tier by a long shot. It's pretty safe to say that there is almost no chance I will buy or even play for free any completed game from here. I enjoy making my own indie crap, but I have close to 0 interest in playing anyone else's.

That said, I love demo day, and playing the demos that I've watched develop in the thread over time. THAT's the appeal, and that's why whodevs need to be named and shamed and driven away.

this is why I say there are no hidden gems.

if you make a good game, you'll feel confident enough about it to unapologetically recommend it to people in casual discourse.

If you make a game where you know it is bad, but were hoping for a win anyways, then you will be embarassed to mention it and you'll just quietly accept the initial low reception

Good evening yesdevs!

Shit's been weird on my side. My dad died and that created a lot of drama that took up most of my time for several months.

Now that the dust has (mostly) settled, Amazoom is slowly picking up progress again.

The most important changes in this new build involve localization fixes that were necessary for Russian players to use the mod uploader tools and access their local savedata if their name contained cyrillic characters, but there are several other improvements and features that have been added, too.

The full patch notes for today's update are over here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3226570/discussions/1/597405278050239132/

I'm not bothering with Twitter updates today. Maybe next update. It's kind of a pain in the ass.

Also there's an upgrade for the bunyip ship. That's pretty cool. Pic related.

If you want to try the game and don't have it:
QCM3W-AAQ3D-Q6EZH
8RHNP-JEQBI-CHKG9

There's also new promo art coming soon. Next update will probably finally update all the Steam capsules, which are long overdue for a facelift.

>>530067385
the people who accept an initially poor reception, I think they secretly know their game is something they would never buy.

I just can't imagine not shilling my genuinely good game. I'd be so confident in it that I would be mentioning it to friends and family without any shame.

I've been feeling like a 90s man wearing a sweatshirt and making a game recently.

I keep imagining myself as Captain Archer wearing a sweat shirt in a 90s home with a blue glow, working on a game.

>>530067292
demos for this feel?

Working on the save/load system, so I can't stick around long. Monitor the situation for me.

>>530067730
*yoink* thanks pal ;)
I don't intend to play but that's one less person who will play my competition's game, heh
No hard feelings, right?

I'm so close to actually this engine looking like a real game, it is giving me chills.

remember your meltdown after I said AI is better than google? I'm still laughing at you, retard

I don't know guys, making games is kind of low energy activity, hoping manchilds will play your game thats weak..

I'm thinking about building some SaaS or Web app

>>530068516
no seriously, you want your creation to go viral right? you want success, you want recognition,

games are weak medium for that, there's plenty of games, plenty of competition, it's hard to make games and it takes a lot of time to make games.

Why not make apps instead? it can go viral quick, it takes less time to build, is less resource intensive, perfect thing to build

realistically speaking, how can making solo indie games in my NEET fartroom get me a girlfriend

In my heart, if you have a working demo that you're showing off in demo day, then you have already made it.

Congratulations to the brave and persistent!

It doesnt have the arms swinging animation or the stepping animation(i didnt want to add animation just for it to be broken and have to be redone again) and left is right and right is left so that also has to be fixed but yeah one step closer to victory

too barebones to qualify.
no fail state exists, all the mechanics are unsupported and disjointed. zombies are buggy and sometimes stand in one spot forever
on a personal note I think the movement feels good but the levels are a little too boring to move around in.
I'm also losing interest in the daily collection minigame. some sort of busywork is important to spread players out across the map but I'm not sure looting is the best tool for that job

>>530077396
ok chadgdp mog this anon

>>530075137
i dont have much bad to say.
i feel like the first couple levels are fine. anyone with any iq can figure out how ranged units should stand in the back, and everything more or less describes what it does when you read it
i like the focus on artifacts. i like the hero (though im guessing thats a warcraft thing)
i feel like rts like this need really customizeable controls to support every autist's particular special interest
I am the type of player that likes to jump first into the survival mode and i feel a little underserved. like of course the campaign would make a better tutorial for what all the units do and how they interact, but I think having SOMETHING there to explain the basics if you haven't played the campaign would be helpful to catch other players like me who want to play the game wrong
either that or lock it until after you play the first few levels of the campaign

I'm never making a side or a test project. My first ever project will go straight to store page.

@Maligndev / gameplay supremacy
I've bag chalk and petals
Collected footprint, drag marks and most of evidence aside of, likely, one thing. Neither petals nor chalk allow me to use dog, or in-game-radio-ghostwave checker, there's also an absence of one of the pieces of evidence in 'those that were present during the event'. Got the note, but failed to get anything out of gardener since he locked out during pressing him.
I'm fairly sure there's one piece of evidence I'm missing, walked entire map back and forth, even got the end of the demo message, but no last clue in sight for the time being. Any tips?

What's a good way to set about doing pixelart? I've been making small games just as learning exercises before doing the game I actually want to make, and I was just using placeholder assets for a good while and only recently thought I should try getting some grasp of doing art. I really didn't know anything about how art assets are made in games prior to that, like I didn't know what software people used or anything, so I'm using Asesprite seeing as that's what I saw people suggest. I've been trying to recreate sprites from existing games just to get a feel for it but I feel like maybe there's a better way of learning it than just copying existing sprites.

>>530088959
Learn how to properly make art, then do it digitally. It's that simple.

Originality is overrated. Just make better games. You're trying to find an original idea because you don't believe that you're capable of making [existing game, but better]. You'll only be capable of making [existing game, but worse] until you work to improve your skills.

Jusha update. It has weird graphical issues that make it completely unplayable on linux with WINE. So I can't play it :( It's fine though since it's a windows build, maybe a linux native one would work. Jushadev take notes if you want.

Got waylaid by real life for a bit, but got back in the swing of things. Took a break from animations to dial in the last area of the alpha demo, and it had some nice vibes.

I got accepted for an event, bros.
wagmi.

>>530094358
Its meant to be broken, by you. Here is what you do. Talk to the guard captain outside of the first house, get your first quest, talk to child in smith house, talk to guard, quest finished. That gives you a level straight up and you have a second easy quest.
In the smiths house there are 2 machines. One gives free money, one takes that exact amount of money to give you xp. Easiest enemies are in the forest. One of them has the chance to spawn a trap though, but the trap does not kill you if you loose. There are a bunch of trashcans and chests around, get some items. Most overpowered item can be found in the area with the witch house, just go directly to the chest without interacting with the enemies.

Just a few tips, oh, and killing Milfred in the witch zone also gives you free xp. There are a bunch of such things.

>>530094692
no idea what this is, but it looks really cool.

>>530094358
You do not actually have to engage with the combat for any except for one ending at the moment. Fuck around, talk to people and see what fun things you can find.
There are a bunch of ways to get overpowered quickly.

>>530094692
I want to inscribe inane mutterings into one of my many tomes in this room. Good work

>>530078702
sick concept
bandage is way too strong. in general lifesteal is overpowered in every game, same with raw damage increases. 3 heal on hit on 2 items is ridiculous. thats the only balance issue i could really find.
the victory button bugs out if you have something moving underneath it
i wish dropping a slot would move other ones out of the way to the left and right if possible
something about only using left click to switch wires feels jank. when you figure out right click it is easy, but i think it should also be easy left clicking only. it's a browser game where you don't explain anything, might as well help people not get stuck
i think the simplicity of this game makes it easy to pick up but also easy to put down

me but with a different fictional character

I'll wait on playing demo day games tomorrow since I need the time to relax and DD is a great excuse to relax.

Seems like a good use case.

GloamSnarl. Been flirting with dropping an alpha demo in a DD, but keep finding stupid critical bugs.

How did you learn all the road rules and how to drive though? Anti-tutorial behavior is why games suck now.

>>530079138
hat gimmick is cool.
not enough audiovisual indicator of whether or not you are wearing a hat. everything else is juicy why not the most important thing in the game
enemies feel a little too flighty. some of the fights take so fucking long because some little kid spends 60 seconds running away from you
relative melee feels jank. I understand you want it to be easy to smack shit next to you without your mouse being right next to the player. we have something for that called a melee button. but also i think it could be fine with a coding pass. just limit the angle of the bat to stay within this range based on your cursor's position
yes, it will make it more difficult to hit something behind you. but i think thats fine

tutorializing at the point of need still means making tutorial content
it just means it has to be seamlessly integrated into the gameplay and introduced in chunks

90% of it by actually just being in a car. The instruction stuff might as well have been reading me random recipes.

Someone said that it couldn't do 3D, of course it's not gonna compete with Timmy"s engine it's focused on crossplatform and browser games

>90% of it by actually just being in a car.
but that's not unlike watching hours of tutorial videos. boardgames are front loaded with huge amounts of text before you can play, nobody has a problem with that. I'm not saying videogames should be like that, or that learn by playing is bad, it's just going to result in less interesting game mechanics.

Great question — you're thinking exactly like someone building high-performance tooling.

Let’s break it down:

How difficult is GameMaker's programming language to learn?

>>530101831
not hard and it has a lot of tutorials but its a deprecated engine, i wouldnt recommend it as a beginner there are more modern engines that you wont regret learning later
there are so many great 2d engines too

Given I only used gamemaker around 2004-2009, but back then it was really easy to use and a good step into programming.

They had two interchangeable systems: drag and drop actions/events, and scripts. You could either tie a script to an event, or to the "step event" that happens every frame. With all of this, it was very easy to start with drag and drop and public examples, and gradually move over to code.

It has probably changed a lot since then, but if it's anything like it was before I'd recommend it to beginners who want to dabble in gamedev.

Personally I moved over to C++/OpenGL

I am nearing the great 'wowening'. I have held off on progress post until it is the time to WOW you all.

we did days ago, the deadline is september iirc

>>530103034
what do you guys think?

beginning to create content for the gaym

also i just had a really cool revolutionary idea (gameplay mechanic), but it doesn't fit this game, into the .txt void you go!

i feel powerful writing my own model loader

The art looks like garbage drawn by a 7 year old. I hope you are uploading this trash to Newgrounds or kongregate and aren't deluded enough to sell this pile of shit.

7000 reviews
Divided by (guessed) 200 employees

Divided by (guessed) 4 years of development
<9 review count/year/employee
For instance Osur did better, both review count/year/employee, and ratings, even factoring in lower price

Economics have to be considered

Albeit, that Moria game has DLC and cosmetics

Online bros...
