Just so you spot this, very good input. Copypasted your message into my fixlist.
Combat is overall pretty iffy at best at the moment, the Crubs was the last enemy I made, but yeah, lowering how efficient they are is a good idea.
SFX even for the UI shit is unique, so if it was annoying, it was not due to rpgmaker but due to me.
Flashing effect when you transition between screens is a side-effect of how I handle parallax backgrounds, I fixed this in doyd, but left it here since it is thematically correct. If other people complain, I will probably fix it in this game too. I love the CRT effect, sorry.

Ladder confusion will be fixed... I will add a forest sign.

how many of you got into this for this exact reason?

Becoming a gamedev is the bad end.

>>530114706
>do as i say, not as i do nonsense

>>530107390
That's normal FYI. The easiest thing you can do is pre-submit your game to Microsoft so it ends up on a whitelist for Defender, which is the one that will just remove your game outright from peoples' computers. Virus scanners are a racket. Steam will automatically sign and submit your game to antivirus companies.

>>530114339
Most of you should not be in this field. I started gamedev because I have been obsessed with it since I was 7-8 years old. I'm not superficially addicted to games, I have a deep interest and desire to understand them and improve them. But yeah most of the rest of you are probably pretty close to this comment

>>530115152

after you finish your first game sure, but while you're in the AMATEUR game developer general you're a slave in the mines. You don't get to have a life until you have a game

>>530114339
lol nope. money and to make what i want and a fangirl gf turned wife. however the making it process is a lot harder than expected. if i give up on gamedev, then hopefully i didn't ruin the experience of gaming. knowing how games work can put a hamper on playing them

my game will be about how im depressed from seeing uggos like marnix take my potential asian gf

>>530115908
Too bad. I've had a life since before I picked up gamedev, and I will continue to have a life. The year is 2025. Gamedev is a normie jobby.

If you're white asian girls are a dime a dozen, if you're not white then girls your own race are as if not more attractive than asians anyway so don't worry everybody wins in the end

>>530114180
Yeah I saw it. The UI isn't annoying, what I meant is that I thought it was weird the contrast between how it looks like RPGM and how the game itself looks totally unique, and that's all.

No problems, it was a cool game anyway. I saw the DD page and realized you already warned about the stuff I pointed out, but y'know I don't like to read the pages in case of spoilers.

I'm doing it because I'm so fucking frustrated that hltheres no game put there that hits all of my buttons in the exact right way. Also money. If I can get at least 1,000$ that's one month of rent which is a fucking crazy achiev-o for me: pay rent with a creative pursuit.

>>530117717
Why cant I play this as a part of this DD? This looks lovely.

The demo is not ready yet. if I push myself maybe I can release a demo in August.

jesus fucking chreist fucking shut up and finish your japanese tutor game

>>530118261
You can probably release a build earlier, even though it is borked. I wait to have somewhat "completed" experiences and it does not matter att all. Should have just pushed out the first build and gotten some feedback. If its playable, upload it. There is no loss in doing so.

It's a basic cascaded shadow map setup with just two cascades (2048x2048) each. The far cascade encompasses the whole map and only gets updated when the sun moves (almost never) so it's pretty efficient. I also have some tricks for sampling the map from camera oriented sprites, most importantly projecting the sampling position onto a plane whose normal is parallel to the sun's direction.

I can't wait to see them play my game...

>>530122531
Not possible, management has discriminated against every game with the shark in it and has a conga line of delayed games.

in my game you play as a hero who comes from a hometown where people made fun of him and doubted him. they always thought he was on a bad path because he saw things others didn't.

a game where you break into simp losers that watch vtumors and beat them up and watch them cry

>>530122972
>a game where you break into simp losers that watch vtumors and beat them up and watch them cry

people in his hometown tell him 'she's not real. She's just a character you made up. COme back down to Reality. Be realistic.'

and he didn't listen to them. He believed. And he is the hero of the game.

>>530079545
Looked into this and there's already an immediate dealbreaker.

think I just came up with one of the most brain rot game ideas and I could see it working.

It's called 'da alium'

I'd have to file it under a different studio name if I make it though. Handle it like some sorta uranium.

I'll try to submit to that jam. I don't post here regularly because you guys are hella gay but I did a long while back. It'll be a simple minigame using my characters as a break from the main project. If I take too long oh well woops haha

Threadly reminder that even gamedev success can be a trap.
Imagine your game earns you 10 years of income. Would you quit your job and start making games full time? If so, you'd have fallen into the same trap I did.
The crux of the trap is the time you spend as a gamedev will count against you if ever need to get a job again. And the ironic thing is the more successful you are, the more dangerous the trap will be unless you earn enough money to never need a job again.
The only way full-time gamedev would be sustainable is if your games keep earning you at least a year of expenses for every year worked... until you're literally 75. And I do mean literally. When you're 72, you'll need to sit down and make a game that earns you 3 years of expenses. Anything short of that and you'll eventually run out of money. And when you do, you'd have been 10-15-20 years out of the job market and good luck getting a job with an employment gap that big.
When you run out of money, it can take as little as a couple of months for your life to be ruined. That's what happened to me. I found myself broke at 45 and no job for the past 15 years except making games. And I'm looking at 30 more years of having to survive. I can't get job interviews, I can't afford to keep working on games, and I'm too old to get into trades. My life is probably fucked because my first project earned me 10 years of income and I quit my job like a dumb ass.
Anyway, the point of this is to warn you: DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOBS UNLESS YOU EARNED ENOUGH MONEY TO NEVER NEED A JOB AGAIN. If my warning saves even a couple of you, it's worth it.

no one has left feedback on my game fuck all of you

That's quite impressive.
Im like you except my first game earned me like 6 months rent, and i've been working part time in fast food ever since working towards a big hit.
I'm 28. None of my games have been successful, but i'm still confident that I am improving and growing and that i can create something that players need.

>>530126412
>Would you quit your job and start making games full time?
It’s about knowing if you have genuinely succeeded. Notch for example was able to turn his little indie game into a company. Your game needs to be franchise-able. If it’s not and merely a one time success that gets you a couple hundred grand then you’ll fall back to square one sooner than later.

>>530126412
>10 years of income off of first project
>unable to replicate
why is this so common? People tap into something that resonates with the general population, despite having relatively little skill or experience. Then they fall out of touch with the world and make something that's technically impressive but isn't what people want.

>>530126412
Job?
You're saying that some of us aren't living with our parents? In this economy?
How do you even have time? You need to be an artist (ui, pixel art, 3d models), code, be an ideas guy, ideally make music, and also market your game to a community built on hype on the game's release.

Remember kids the “make games for yourself” advice is a lie. You totally can make games for other people besides. Just don’t make it a generic 2D pixel shitter like 90% of other indie devs that can’t comprehend why they failed and what a genuinely appealing game looks like. There’s a shit ton of million dollar ideas and all the incompetent AAA devs are making it easier than ever for your game to be seen. Remember “Only Up”? The guy that made it made millions of dollars and that game is just a bunch of unreal marketplace assets stitched together into a basic platformer.

Huh...

If you really made it big time, let alone get enough money for a ten year gap, why would you not put at least half of that into savings, stocks, and bonds? I would do that, and sure I might go down to part time or something but like come on. You sound like one of those people who score the 2M$ jackpot and blow it within a year because they don't realize how fast a million can disappear.

Weird behaviour, the crab southwest most to the witch's house, running away from it caused an immediate encounter again, and the background became unusual. Invincibility
frames after escaping could fix this. It's also a bit broken because you can escape to remove all status effects (excluding curse) then go back in.
Interesting thing I noticed, I somehow had 2 "Ball of a boy", I don't know how.
Some item descriptions feel misleading, like the gun shooting skill descriptions, and items that say "the entire party" but want you to use the item on just one party member. The wealth potion gives you gold but still wants you to choose a party member.
Writing: Guard Guy is the only character I feel is the least good. I like all the other ones, but I thought he would be a placeholder to start the story, and then you'd leave him, since he's just a generic guard. So that twisted my view of him. I also think it's weird how he uses "crab" skills, makes me think he's a crab or something.
"Explain the rules better" option in dicegobbo appears to give you his most recent dialogue instead of the rules..
I rolled dicegobbo and he said "7!" but 9 appeared instead. (It happened more than once, I'm pretty sure it said 7)
It also happened with "8" and then it showed 9.
Then 8 gave me 3?
Is it supposed to rain inside of dicegobbo? It feels unintentional kinda.
Paranoia doesn't seem to do anything
Alot of the stuff he says is vague and doesn't feel real. In general he needs some work.
Feels weird that digigun is flipped so its says "PEW" backwards
Geometry Man's name and HP was blocked out by the character portraits. So was the crab bastard.
Crab bastard booty blasted me... awkward
The tongue animation being for both healing and damaging is a bit confusing.

How do you make the top of the model sway like jelly like in this video?

Shader?

>>530130327 (continuation)
Crab bastard fight is weird, I lose and it doesn't give me a game over screen. I lost once and it returned me to the town, and I lost again and it just put me in the same place as before the fight began.
It looks like you could probably lock yourself in the train if you have one save, and that save loads you into the southeast most corner, and all the monsters are there.
I haven't tried it though.
And that is probably all for this demo honestly, it's a pretty interesting game I have to say, my save file says 3 hours, but I still couldn't beat it.

One day I will make an itch account to write this stuff on instead...

Pretty sure it's a larp. But let's say his game did do well, what skills did he have or gain during development that enabled that? He'd do fine freelancing with that skill.

I barely actually play games these days, games resonated with me mostly because of their artistic AND autistic potential, so I wanted to make artistic games AND autistic games. Most aggers probably weren't heavy gamers in origin.

>>530128992
The average annual returns for investments are around 10% minus 2-3% which inflation eats minus capital gains tax when you actually sell the investments so you can cover your living expenses.
So if "10 years of income" is like $700k, and you invest 90% of that and live off the gains, it's $40k a year. But if you could live off of $40k a year, $700k would be 17 years of expenses, not 10 years.
The bottom line is 10 years of income is not enough unless you can significantly outperform the market year after year. And if you can, then you should just be an investor and portfolio manager and make games for fun.

I will surpass everyone...

I disagree.
You need to make games that YOU would play (objectively, not "haha y-yeah I would play this"). If you're chasing trends you're going to make slop. That being said what you want to play might also be trendy and that's fine.

>>530135820
Players are happy to pay a reasonable price for a short game. The reason so many games with short avg playtimes flop isn't because the games are short but that players don't play them through because they're not fun.
If your game has 5 hours of gameplay and the average playtime is 4 hours, that's a good short game.
If your game has 40 hours of gameplay and the average playtime is 8 hours, that's not a compelling game and Steam will punish it by not recommending it.

How to get motivation to go through all my code to clean it up? I finally got the majority of the code working as intended. I can go 3 different routes now before I can finally move onto new work. I obviously want to work on the clean up since it's a lot of scripts and I'd rather get it all out of the way now. It just feels like such an ordeal and I can't get myself to finish it. It shouldn't take more than a day or two.

>>530135692
You are bringing out a bullshit conclusion from truthful observations
"People don't play longer games anymore"
"People play short games"
"People like short games more"
These are true observations but you jump to a bullshit conclusion.
Here is what people want when it comes to length: they want more quality of quantity, obviously. When players say "there's not enough content", the game could be 500 hours of content but if it's all the same it doesn't matter. If it's 5 hours that are varied and unique and interesting and quality.
People don't "want short games", they want quality content in the game and nothing has changed about this since games were first invented.
Retarded nodevtubers push this meme and think that it's about the length, they entirely miss the true reason

The reason why SOME short games do well is because you keep making shitty pointless substanceless games with no staying power and the only way to make people tolerate them is to make it as short as possible to tempt them into wasting their time on your shit. This problem would not exist if you just made games that are worth spending time on

>>530136581
>"People don't play longer games anymore"

I never said that, just that a game doesn't have to be long to be successful. And the shorter games you make, the more likely you'll be able to make more games in the same amount of time.

All you need to know is that a game being short is no obstacle for its success. Just price it appropriately.

>>530136782
>And the shorter games you make, the more likely you'll be able to make more games in the same amount of time.
That's not true.
A game you made in a day can eat up thousands of hours of player's time and a game you made in years can be one and done in under an hour.

You should be making game's shorter because maximizing TIME_ON_DEVICE like the designers of these fucking things >>530136450 is cringe.

Kek keep telling yourself that. How do you feel about YOMIH, Peripeteia, and FlyKnight, do they make you seethe very hard for having 1000+ reviews each?

>>530136730
There was a game in DD (Tur) that was like this.

>>530136923
It's crazy to me how "just like make good games that people want to play" is such a controversial opinion here every time. Retards will make a low-quality game that no one really wants to play, and then come here to cry about how they're not getting any sales, wishlists, retweets, fanart, etc. No one ever tells them to go to >>>/biz/ when they're asking for tricks on how to get social media engagement. Meanwhile, I tell people that 90% of your marketing is your product and to just focus on making a better game, and this is somehow >>>/biz/

Anyone feel like this demo day is kinda low energy? I like the collage but idk something has felt different about demo day's for a while now.

>durrr my rpg doesn't have stats!

>>530137452
it's because people don't engage with each other enough

>>530137452
I don't know what you mean, but there's alot of reoccuring submissions which I feel is less interesting. I think the new submissions are always exciting though

>>530137452
like there's a dark cloud on the horizon.

>>530137695
Should I stop submitting my game if it's not new or what?

>>530137452
Absolutely. I only got three downloads even while being in the top rows. It feels dead as hell

>>530137498
Wrong. Slop is fundamentally low-quality, and I'm telling you to make the exact opposite. Make games that require higher effort from more skilled developers. If you are the kind of developer that thinks you can get away with something lower quality just because it's more original, unique, or niche, I'm telling you right now that you are coping, that that is why no one gives a fuck about your game, and that that is why you're NGMI.

>>530137986
mmmh sorry you don't get it

>>530137385
>90% of your marketing is your product and to just focus on making a better game
NTA but I believe similarly. A game is soooooooo easy to market once it has something that captures an audience.

Flyknight is MULTIPLAYER and fits into the pattern of MULTIPLAYER games being more popular than single player games of similar quality. You guys should stop pretending to not understand this.

>>530138381
fat bass lines

>>530139006
Multiplayer is a multiplier. 0 time anything is still 0, and most of these retards' games are 0s.

>>530114658
i've seen stuff like this, read stuff like this, and heard stuff like this. what's with these normie's ready to get people fired at the drop of a hat? they demand you be friendly but woah next thing you know you're in hr's office for talking about the game you're making. every other wagie is allowed to somehow be offensive but you act normal and get in trouble for it?

>using AI to code

>>530137695
I felt that way all the way back to the Demo Day's of ~2022. A fresh supply of new game's certainly improves morale imho. It's nice seeing new things rather than anon's game with an extra 3 months of development where it was mostly just backend stuff.

>>530137908
It's fine I just prefer seeing some new stuff popping in. Though I think there's more to it than that, the old Demo Day's felt more lively.

>>530137460
and i use developer experience and my eyes.
a short game that does well is just as much or work than a long game that does well, the main difference is the short game evaluates the value of player time higher.

>>530139852

>...you do have a plan to appeal to people with friends and money right?
yes. people with friends and money like cats and drugs. so catnip empire will do gangbusters

>>530140513
The first quote is me. I didn't mean anything by that, I do replay old demos but it's not as exciting when it's seemingly the same as before. I saw some posters providing change logs, and I like that it's nice to know what changed. I don't mind replaying the game though.

if you or your game is connected to pedosky I'm just not going to buy it and I will actively convince others not to buy it either

>>530141016
At least fucking download them again. Why should a demo get assraped by the algorithm just because you decided it's not replayable?

Spacing stuff out is really weird. I thought I would be able to walk around the world and go "Hmm there should be a house here." And plop one down. But in practice getting a scale on how big the area you're walking around in is proving challenging to say the least. Having a chunk system just makes it that much harder to conceptualize. Gif semi related.

Dopamine isn't what make you feel good. Dopamine works by giving you a boost in energy to do something. What makes you feel good is the "doing something".

>Demo Day Feedback
>Journey Zero (18-28-38-48)

boooooooo weeb otaku
the name of the novel is in japanese why? (just kidding, but the mix of cultures is a bit weird)

Btw I dont know what the 18-28-38-48 is in the title for, but get rid of it because it doesn't look nice. It's your choice though.

the character options are full of nobodies. where's masahiro sakurai I wanted to play as him. I settled for Carl jung in the end, good enough

So yeah I'm not familliar with TTRPGs at all, never played one so I have no idea why the game behaves the way it does. The stats menu does look intimating by the way.
That said, I find it weird how there's a limit on how many turns (or rounds or whatever, feels like it's misnamed) when it will just take you back into battle anyway.
I mostly feel like I'm using a GUI program instead of playing a game desu.
The icons that pop up when you stop to show what you have encountered... they could be clearer. I have no idea what they are supposed to look like
The way the game is so fast and I barely feel the impact of consequences, makes me rush more which I don't like doing.
Dying feels like an easier way to recover and refresh my party entirely than a dedicated healer or some such thing... this is a problem maybe
I don't feel the theme of the world or lore represented in the game. Just feels like a regular RPG to me. I literally spawned on an island resembling australia, man.

THE WEST HAS FALLEN... but The West has risen after a wake? This game held the solution to saving the west this entire time.

I played alone of course ;-;

yeah its not an issue of method librarys being a fine solution..... it's that this is a perfectly normal expectation to be able to quickly and easily find a working solution that way when what you want is well-trodden and/or easily packaged.

>bad perspective

I estimate that only 20-30% of /agdg/ anons have a game that they work on consistently

I'll download all the DD games but I won't play any lol

>>530154116
mammothplant doesn't behave like this, I've seen his posts. He's too busy cooking up his next KINO to come to agdg at all.

>>530154649
you're not lying your way out of this one, mammothplant

>>530154649
Why are you lying? He always searches his name up in the archives.

sorry ill play it

>>530156713
I dont think you have a game

my game has less views than submissions to demo day
like, I get you dont have the time to play it, but not even give it a single fucking click?

>>530156965
What's your Game? I will click it (but not play it)

>>530156965
I don't even know what demo day is

ZERO

DOWNLOADS

AIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

SOMEONE DOWNLOAD IT ALREADY

THIS IS A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL OF THE DEVELOPERS IN THE BOTTOM ROWS

I KNOW THAT NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU DOWNLOADED MY DEMO. I WILL NOT BE PLAYING YOUR DEMO OR LEAVING A COMMENT UNTIL YOU MAN UP AND DOWNLOAD MY DEMO

what the fuck im not downloading your virus

>>530157796
That has no connection to demo day you fucking schiz

>>530157796
which game is this?

>>530157796
>bangladesh
saar

WHY ARE YOU NOT DOWNLOADING MY GAME

>>530158049
because you put a virus in it and itch io found it and warned me about it, rajeesh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUPiIyz8xuU

In the dark days where the complete darkness poison your soul.
you need to remember that there's a core reason, beyond any master mason, that crafted a spark, a deep character arc, that is waiting at the end of a 20 year journey, that will curtsey, the wills of millions, of maybe billions, of unknown souls, that will destroy all the fouls, of the mental iliteration, a pure mental conception, of what lies beyond the sephirots.

You only need to not give up, for as giving up, is just giving up into that childlike spark that means you're still alive.

So don't give up.

If the long road ahead you need to walk was easy, it would be not desired as much by everyone.

Just remember that.

>>530156405
everyone says that about my game anyways so whats new

if there isnt at least a couple review on ur game already im not downloading that
im not testing the waters and getting a virus again

>>530154369

>>530152476
Well that's not true, I've streamed some yesterday! But yeah I guess, I haven't been much in DDs since then either.

>>530155693
All this streaming stuff is kinda witchcraft to me, I am glad that I can get it going at all. I also like to pick the games at random. Don't want to play unlucky games.

>>530152394
Okay, will try again in 15 minutes. Will give Shadow Stalker another shot, and then unless there are requests, we are going back to randomtown.

nobody played my demo so im not going to play anyone elses

>>530157796
>>530158586
nobody's making you download the games with no photos you fucking retard. You're the one that went out of his way to go to the depths of hell to find that game. That user probably isn't even in the thread. Go and PLAY MY GAME NOW

If I have something to say to improve it I'll leave a comment.

so i need to make games for a group of grown manchildren screaming into the mic?

Whenever I see retardbabble and spergouts on /agdg/, I immediately know that it's a level 999 based shitposter taking out one of his carefully crafted "agdg schizo" personas for a laugh. I'm glad to share the thread with so many hilarious and sophisticated shitposters that recreate the feeling of being on a board for retards, even in a thread with such a high median IQ.

>>530159340

wut. I don't know what the use case is. alterations outside of defaults will just make a broken image... and there is nothing else to do but modify defaults. no alternate heads etc.. this is not a character generator.

It runs a local LLM that generates dialogue. You should try it, it's cool

my game has gotten 5 feedbacks and like 30 downloads so whatever the ranking is based on is clearly some arcane knowledge

OK, so, was there some kind of He Who Watches clone a couple DD ago? Does anyone know what I mean? I may have gotten this mixed up.
Because I remember, the comments on that submission said "a competent xxx clone," and if He Who Watches is a rather original game and not a clone of anything, then the comments on that other submission will have said "a competent He Who Watches clone".
And the schizo is basically imagining himself to be more or less the dev of HWW now with his "my game has more wishlists than 99% of aggy games." Going a bit paranoid schizophrenic myself here I dare say.
The other idea is that it’s just Crumble, but that guy did get sufficient attention here, or did he not? Was it all just his own sock puppets?

I WANT MY WELL-EARNED FANART

you are now fagdev, your game is gay

>>530160773
and im not degenerate enough to ship a game that doesnt working without online and some LLM server to be up.

I hate this place. When you're in the bottom rows nobody plays your game because they all assume it's shovelware. When you're in the middle rows nobody plays your game because it's too average. When you're in the top rows everyone ignores your game because they are seething with envy

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE. NONE OF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOW GOOD THE GAME IS. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN AN INSANE ASYLUM. WHY DO YOU IGNORE MY GAME SO MUCH YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS. I PUT MY ENTIRE SOUL INTO IT. I PUT SO MUCH CONTENT INTO IT. EXPLAIN WHY YOU'RE DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

"make tiny games" is such shit advice, probably why so many games are coming out with nothing and promising to add more
the real advice would be "make easily scalable games" but the Zuk hasnt said that yet so 'tubers aren't repeating it

If you are doing repeats, try out 6 Ways To 7 again.
You've played it before, but it's gotten 2 big updates since then.

my shit goin nuts

Haven’t been coming here as much as I should lately, I’ve just been too busy. Which demos should I check out? There are so many new faces I don’t recognize, which is great!

>>530149080
hey, QK dev here. i just woke up and saw this. thank you for the kind words, it means a lot.

>>530162752
>>530162817
I should have said *pretty much* nobody has played it. Two people is nothing in demo day terms. The point I'm making is that you're always better off looking for players elsewhere. It's better to focus on what you can change instead of expecting things to fix themselves.

>>530162856
can you play Solitaire Battle? i'm going for the Nubby audience

>>530162189
>>530163037
Well I played the demo on Next Fest since I figured it might help you with the algorithm or whatever. Without that event I’d have just played it on DD eventually.

>zoomies pretending to have human interaction through DD
God this shit is pathetic, why are you guys so sad and pathetic.

honestly didn't expect much feedback or downloads this time but getting more than usual :-)
See, it's that easy. Since I didn't really want downloads frankly, so God tries to mess with me. Oopsies, I'm smarter than God so I tricked him! :D

>>530161707

>In past game development videos I've always emphasized the need for a community because it uplifts you so much, but this just really drilled it home for me how important that is. Having people to bounce ideas with, being able to close your computer when you need a break and just talk to another human being, it makes the sucky parts suck so much less.
So true! That's why I love being on agdg. Such a great hobby and a great community.

anybody know of any good storyboarding software for planning/writing branching decision trees & dialog?

>>530162832
Sure thing, will do!

when's bokube coming out?
when's boku coming out of the closet?

>>530163380

>>530163469
Excalidraw is great for pretty much any freeform drawing, and it's free. Canvas is almost unlimited. If you want some extra shapes - they have a lot of community stuff in shapes library.

>>530163171
Sure thing!

Trooniper is mid and gives garbage advice yet makes 100k views+ on every video, is the patriarchy even real?

Wonder how much of the world's GDP is dedicated solely to The Organization paying youtubers millions not to make a video about my game.

>>530163380
agreed. this is the first community I've been apart of that makes fan art for my game, wtf did I do to deserve you guys? imagine getting fan art on reddit gamedev subs(would never happen)

GIVE ME

THE FANART

THAT I DESERVE

>>530163552
Never and never.

I think this final boss level is final I just did minimal work of changing the floor spike textures and brighting the sun lighting a bit but it doesn't need much else.

>>530163171
>i'm going for the Nubby audience
Really? Ok I'll give it another try then. I played it before but I didn't understood the main core of choosing cards to actually do damage.

>>530163209
(Hypercoven?) anon, that's appreciated. But my Nextfest performance is like 400% of any Demo Day I've had. And this is more about /agdg/ as a whole. There's always been a general apathy towards Project Arcane here which seems detached from reality compared to the outside world. I don't think this is about individual people it's just the atmosphere of the place is like this. I just accepted that as how things are and don't think about it.

>>530162856
out of curiosity, do you skip the adult games or not?

this looks really good on my new OLED

>have a 2:1 view to download ratio
Yeah, that's pretty good! Yay!

>>530164236
Yeah, I mean, you are right, and please do recommend us more outside events to submit to. My Next Fest engagement was also more than all DD combined. But that venue is only available once and one would like to have a well polished version of their demo before participating, of course.
As for my own game, it is sure getting more engagement on DD now that I have added a main menu. Something to be recommended.

>>530164184
i wouldn't blame you for thinking the game is just solitaire with a gimmick in the early stages, but once you get enough skills in your deck they all start activating constantly like Nubby or Balatro. that's the intent, at least

>>530164837
did this ever release?

>>530164902
see
>>530056214

>>530164236
I hope you fail.
My genuine desire is to see your games get 20 reviews and fall into limbo.
This is not because you insult aggy, or because I'm on 4chan, or anything.
This is because I'm convinced you are an entitled, self-serving asshole, and I want to see you face first in the mud along with your projects.
I would love to see you fail. Don't disappoint me.

>>530164837
imagine being this dude and pizza tower comes out and is a smash hit, then anton blast comes out and is a smash hit, and you're still here redoing your animations for the 15th time

>>530165442
from what i have seen all his game has are the player animations and a shartformer world, antonblast is light years ahead.

>>530164994
I mostly look for genre-specific festivals but I find out about them just a little too late to participate OR they are highly curated OR they are specific to already released games.
I don't think I need even that all that much. I already have more than enough numbers for release. The problems always come down to just finishing the game. There's plenty of ways to do marketing after that.

>>530165434
Unfortunately I'm already set to cross 100 in the first month.

>>530165345
Nope.
Hes still working on it.
Spent 1/4th of his lifespan on 1 platformer game and its not even done yet.

My genuine desire is to see your games get 20000 reviews and be famous like limbo.
This is not because you compliment aggy, or because I'm on 4chan, or anything.
This is because I'm convinced you are a talented, self-confident artist, and I want to see you face first in scrooge's money vault along with your projects.

Thats why you do it for fun not as your primary income source.
Gamedev isnt a get rich quick scheme its not even going to be minimum wage for most people.
If you want to get rich quick go dropship or deal drugs or something.

>>530166229
thanks, it's perfect

People who played Galduen, what should I check?

success is like a lottery, its random but the amount of tickets you get is based on how good your game is
then theres private "lotteries" that are just money laundering for criminals, those are the nepobaby games
yeah they won but it didnt count, it only counts when i win

Bros coming from UE 4.27 to 5.6 I am fucking shocked and appalled at how much worse the file management is.
What the fuck happened?
I like to have a folder just for my assetpacks and its easy to import a pack into 4.27 and move it to that directory.
In 5.6 it fucking breaks my project. Creates a bunch of ghost assets that crash the editor when I delete or attempt to verify assets.
Why?

I dunno about yours, but mine's right here!

This guy basically made "Schedule 1" five years ago, but never released it

>>530166914
Its standard practice now to have a project just for importing assets into then you migrate what you need to your main project.

>>530168167
Never mind, he did release it. I unironically think the schedule 1 kid cloned this game

>>530168167
Doesn't matter if he made it 10 years, 5 years or 2 months before Schedule 1.
Timing is very important, and it's hard to predict what the market will love. That's why you don't see many Vampire Survivor-likes before Vampire Survivors released.

>>530112781 (OP)
Back in January, I promised myself I'd make a game before I turned 27 just so my youth wouldn't be totally wasted. Here's how it turned out. My birthday is in 3 months. My friend who said he would contribute has dipped. I started and abandoned 2 large projects. I have 3 followers on twitter. I have no OCs. I have no good music. I have no plot. I have no game concept. I have no money or friends, and I'm a NEET. I used to try and plan out everything, but the time for that is over. Over the next 100 days I'm just going to make something and I don't even care how bad it is. Wish me luck

>>530162550
Marmoreal, shanghai gold, Eastern flower, etc maintain similar position with very low DD engagements

>>530169628
You figured it out correctly. Just like make game. Good luck.

>>530121157
commit to this dick

>>530169628
I made my first game at 34 and it let me gamedev full-time ever since. So don't think that age is a barrier to gamedev success. The actual barrier is the much harder competition and AI and you're probably 5 years too late anyway no matter your age.

when they talk about indie games, they're thinking about core keeper and rimworld. not esoteric walking simulator #53949

>>530169628
>I have no OCs. I have no good music. I have no plot. I have no game concept. I have no money or friends, and I'm a NEET.

The reason I've tried to plan everything out before starting is that the bar for success in games now is absurdly high.
>>530170303
I spent most of this year working on a unique art style based on old type moon games

ok so what if I made a nintendogs-like?
It seems like a good Godot side project while I'm working on my engine.

If you aren't playing your own game for at least 2 hours a day there's two takeaways.
1. You don't want to play it, but expect other people to.
2. You aren't improving and polishing your game.
3. You probably aren't progressing fast enough to warrant testing stuff.

Thanks.

I have OCs,i have plot,i have a game concept(but no coding talent to realize it)
Im game developing without code by drawing maps of areas and then placing markers where npcs would go and which lines they would have and what routes they would follow(if they have routes not all npcs do.),where quest starts would go,where the shops would go,writing down quest chains,drawing my ocs and concept art of areas and stuff.
When im finished ill place it all in a waterproof box and bury it in my backyard and 300 years from now on someone who knows how to code will dig it up,open it and finish my work.

The sad thing is I didn't even demand progress from him.
He would just keep coming up with random game ideas, and I'd question him on it and ask him to make drafts or something, but then he'd drop it and have another idea in 3 days
When I stopped taking his ideas seriously he got mad
One of his ideas was a grid-based dungeon crawler with doom combat. How this was supposed to work I have no clue

So you're saying me that the #11 that I downloaded some time ago in /aco/ is fanart from THAT game?
Holy shit I never felt so mogged in my life.
I kneel.

I have found that music is very detrimental to my productivity. Working in complete silence is a game changer. If you're having trouble concentrating and you haven't tried it recently, try turning off music and working in silence.

Every game that was in that fan art has been approved by the inner circle btw, if you were not in the fan art you are NGMI

>>530174117
I've found the same thing but I keep telling myself that I can still be productive with music because I hate the silence so much.

Is there any real reason why I should stick to PBR and not just implement a much simpler Blinn-Phong model for my engine? I want my gaymes to look like a FF PSX cinematic. In fact, isnt PBR the biggest meme when it comes to graphics.

>>530184626
The difference is like 10-30 lines of shader code that you could've written in the time it took for you to make this post. You could've already implemented and tested both if you didn't have severe brain damage in the first place.

>>530184626
Idk why you're confused when you've answered your own question. Why tf would you use pbr if you're aiming for non-pbr rendering?

Do you make a unique new model for each background npc or do you just use generic model but change hair a little or change hair color or change color of shirt etc. and thats it and only make unique models for story important characters or would that be too lazy?

>>530185442
unique model for every background NPC
reskins for important characters

My recursive pathfinding code for 2D srpg executes instantly at a movement range of 4 but chugs when I increase the range to 5 ;_;

>>530184626
I'm absolutely with you on this, PBR became the standard but it's not necessarily better-looking if it doesn't suit your game's theme and style
I think you could get a very similar style to that with just diffuse + ambient occlusion. some rim lighting too.
I have no idea really but I assume calculating AO every frame isn't that expensive nowadays, if you have say, 200k tris on screen. I genuinely have no idea. I'm about to look it up.

>>530185442
I modify their mesh slightly but it's all the same base mesh. Make em fatter or bulkier or whatever then change the clothes and hair.

>>530185765
ok yep I instantly recognise some retardation here
I wouldn't need to calculate AO for everything, just the moving parts (and parts that would be affected by shadows of moving parts)
everything else would have it baked. at the start of the game, in-engine? or pre-baked in Blender and exported with the material?
where do I even start learning anons

>>530185731
Taking a closer look at it, I call 4 functions initially and each one has a high chance of calling itself 16 times lmao what a piece of shit
At least it finally does what I want it to but fuck I probably need a more elegant method

>>530186325
>Have you heard of A*
I'm taking look at it now but it might be overkill. I'm really just trying to project a fire emblem style grid out from my character that can loop around obstacles without exceeding the allowed number of steps.
I'm trying to solve it recursively and every single tile is checking every single adjacent tile every step but when I flag a tile as visited on one path this is causing other paths to be terminated so its no good
Gotta keep rebuilding it until it works I guess

>>530185765
I mean, its not like you can't get a relatively old CG look with PBR but they didnt use it back then, it was just specular+glossy. Even in FF13, although metals might be a problem

>>530182434
They are still playing the game. Interrogator confirmed inner circle
>>530187169
lfg
>>530187291
A* is never overkill, it’s extremely simple. Well, sometimes you want plain Dijkstra instead, which is just A* without the estimator function (so even simpler).
There is no generalized pathfinding solution better/simpler/faster than this algorithm. The only thing you need is a priority queue (aka. binary heap) and your standard library should come with that one. The rest is 20 lines of code.

>>530184172
Yes, however I don't get an AI overview because google gives my game a full schema on the right hand side.

for the 2 people who commented on my gas station prototype for DD: I reuploaded the game and you should be able to access the page now.

I initially tried to get a browser version working, but I couldn't get it to run. I'm using Godot 4.4, and I think because I'm using an addon that uses gdextension, it won't work unless I recompile Godot that includes that addon. So I just uploaded a linux/windows version instead.

what simulacrum for human interaction do you use during the long periods of solo devving
I'm trying the radio, it has its moments, but the music can be awful, where the music is good, there's barely any talking

>>530196443
if you need a simulacrum of human interaction oooooooooooh god youre not gmi it

huh?

Instead of working on my game, I've built scraper and data analyzing tools in order to jork my ego off. I knew before this that people want to play a game like that, I've known for years, there was no need for any of this, the only reason I did it is to procrastinate without feeling like I'm not working on my game. I'm a loser.

>>530193518

>>530196782
yeah, I managed to get the issues on my end too. Thanks for trying
The problem (as far as I can tell) is that I need to use freetype built by mingw (which is what I'm using for the cross compilation) but that needs to have a fuckton of DLLs alongside it. I got a few layers deep before giving up, might give it a look later.

you'd have a budget if you spent all this time and energy shitposting on actually making a game

>>530199865
What are you talking about? What shitposting?

>>530196670
this is the most active agdg has ever been? hmm what has caused it? I'm new here btw just started posting her a few days ago :)

Why are you posting pictures of yourself? This isn't /soc/.

that's few hours of work

It would appear we have at least two.

>adding SFX is easy
>but it transforms my game from "obviously unfinished WIP" to "embarrassingly janky demo"
I am removing SFX

Respect voice actors, chud!

Trailer for my solo dev project Hellbirther. Been working on it since November 2021. The game's pretty much done, I'm in the process of figuring out a satisfying conclusion to the campaign and what to do with the cutscenes I plan on adding. I'd really love to have a voice actor that worked on previous Ace Combat games do dialogue for cutscenes or something but I don't know how to set that up.

looks good I guess

computer, generate an ultra realistic image of a white little girl wearing a cute bikini, she is playing my game on her personal computer.

You're right, I am not a loser, thanks anon

using the 4chan api?
You should try to track the amount of progress posts over time, see what timezones progress is posted, monthly trends, etc

i need to wake up at 3 AM tomorrow, so for game dev, I'll just order some game art after doing some research for it

I got that too. If you paid for the Steam Fee in the US, due to how far that lawsuit is going in the 3-5 years since it started, you get auto included since everyone in the US who paid for a steam fee had to be disclosed for that process. There is no reason to opt out unless you want to sue them yourself for whatever fucking reason, since doing nothing means you get whatever benefits that come if any for free.

I dont understand it

>>530199942
no this isn't even /vg/, it's just mentions of my game's primary "theme"
>>530202715
no, it's just parsing the html of the archive, I do have another script using the API but it's slower by orders of magnitude. It's useful for live discussion though.
It would be funny to track progress posts on here but I'm not sure how I would set that up, it's not like every progress post starts with that word or some other keyword.

scrape only posts with images, feed text data to ChatGPT and ask him to answer if text talks about progress on the game in one word Yes or No. Collect GPT Yes answers

Many progress posts have just a witty one-liner accompanying the image/webm, I wonder if the AI is context aware enough to figure it out, or also, answering the question in that case is a matter of where do you lie on the autism spectrum

Okay, who's starvin for feedback

I feel I have seen this Barako game somewhere else entirely

im not sure what it is about my game that causes people playing to tunnel vision onto the wrong thing then hyperfocus on it while the game in the background is begging them to stop while they ignore it

>>530203468
you can also make screenshot of post with opened image or one frame from webm as further context. One thing Current models of gpt are really, really good at is understanding context

I used linux for my enginedev but switched to windows and now just use my shit via wine, sad truth linux sucks

>>530203325
Good idea but this is an image board, there are many images with posts. I could also just check for if a post gets a lot of (You)s and only run those through ai to verify if they are.

>>530204151
You mean: only those that DON’T get a lot of (You)s. We all know nobody ever responds to (my) progress posts!!!!!
