i am ngmi. let's just be honest.

Never forget the discord hates you and wants your game to fail

>>530369116 (OP)
>spending more money than you can earn will leave you broke edition

>1. Your game cost $10M to make.
it cost like $115 to make so far

>>530369237
how do we solve the 'cord problem? almost all the ritualposters are from 'cord too

>>530366489
>>530366927
What the shader does is add up the computed lighting, get the luminance and sample a gradient to multiply the albedo with, so I get some control over shading without making it outright unlit like some anime shaders do.


>>530367112
>>530367619
That's a point light that's spawned along with the VFX. I planned on adding more props to this level, but didn't have the time to since I was reworking a lot of the existing movesets.
There's also a point light on the halo during the transformation.

bigguy dev is the guy making that racing game, huh I don't get why he's tweaking he never got bullied or shat on by the thread
he wouldn't last a day in bokube's 2020 thread run

Thanks.
I haven't been posting here that much since I've been pretty busy, but if you ask about my game in the thread, I'll try to answer if I see it, at least whenever I'm at my desktop.

Why we hate this style?

>>530369504
nyoooo you can't look at my game it's not ready!

>>530369553
that sounds complicated, does it cause lag if you were to have 10 characters on screen being affected like that?

It's funny seeing how many of you failed to bake a proper thread during this dd.

nubby's tranny ass cursed the jobby, no game has sold that much since then
maybe 9kings?

>>530370018
i think 9kings is ass. I think I'm cooked on this hobby, fr fr

Y'all I just gotta say, gamedev is hard enough. It's okay to reward yourself with one or two XY solutions.

>>530370174
Amateur game development?

>>530369868
The lighting computation isn't that complex, it's pretty much just a dot(n,l). The luminance formula is just math, iirc it should work out to just be a vector multiplication? So it's not much more complex than any other shader supporting forward+ lighting, and might even be simpler in some ways.

>>530370417
yes, she can play our games in her tablet or her switch

>>530370549
She certainly won't be playing your game. Would be quite boring playing nothingness.

>>530369116 (OP)
If you're spending $10 million, money doesn't seem like a big issue and a publisher might not even be needed.

>>530370549
Is this AI? Why are you posting it here cris.

I give up on raylib and go back to godot, yeah it's a pile of shit but a convenient one...

Indie game development should be about hustle and bustle grindset bag chasing and going viral. Let's face it, normalGODS own this jobby. No more goofy ahh passion projects. You need to follow the market.

>House of the Dead 2 remake

Is that the biggest grift for small studios?

akhi you spittin ong

Make sure your game puts its save file inside of AppData/LocalLow.

>>530371271
this the horror game in the commie blocks? nice that you didn't give up, i imagine it's gonna take you a while to get all the assets

>>530369116 (OP)
sketching large areas for an isometric (good) game is hard because the way your mind's eye (perspective) projects objects is wrong and it all needs to be flat

>>530371530
I remember seeing a picture of A Link Between Worlds that had all the objects on screen angled back 45 degrees or so to get its look.

been a pretty shitty steam sale this year for me, you? i move way less units during winter too, are people not buying games or what...

>>530371508
Yeah it is. I got stuck in the Blender mines for the past 6 months or so. Nice that you remember.

best engine for an adventure game? pic related was made with godot but after a long gamedev break it runs like dogshit for some reason

>>530369116 (OP)
I'm learning how to make believable/good environments in UE5 and basic architecture books are a godsend

>>530372054
Whichever engine you're most familiar with. There's nothing about any of the big 3 that makes them more or less suitable.

>>530372810
Thank you. The more I spend time on tiny details, the more it feels like I'll do it forever, so agree 100%.

valve barely deserves 10% for hosting our games, 30% when you have to do all the marketing is insane

Why? I've never understood the purpose of this. Isn't it the same as every other directory, but just hidden from view by default or something? I don't use windows much.

always had doubts for games like this. very asset heavy, hard to prototype, iterate, playtest. easy to get a build going, try to evaluate and yet always default to saying, "it'll make sense once XZY assets are done." very hard to prove the concept until almost done, basically. dangerous I find.

What bullshit are we dealing with in today's thread?

>>530378747

I've been hooked on polyomino games that aren't falling block puzzles and kind of surprised they mostly exist on mobile

Made the level select more readable with a darker background and all the zone planet maps got better colors and brighter lighting. A lot of busy particles were removed

On/off colors are now more consistent. I don't even know why I had yellow wires before.

The sound of those switches fucking scared me lol

I was going through my ideas and thought you guys might find this interesting, I don't feel like doing it though:

JRPG where you craft your moves, you have a basic set of "axiomatic" low level actions, such as "deal damage, heal, cast status effect" and you could craft a "move" (combination of one or more multiple low level actions) that you can use

>>530369116 (OP)
What a stupid fucking picture. The game costs $10M to make + $2M in marketing, but it's being sold for $20? Yeah right. Indie games with no budget or marketing are sold for $20. Games that cost $10M to make are sold for $40 at best, usually higher, often the same price as an AAA game.

Also
>You "only" earned 300K but now you can't fund your next game!
This is stupid. The first game was funded by the publisher. They can fund the next one too.

>spend every waking moment working on my game in preparation for demoday

i did everything i was supposed to do.... so WHYYY DOES GAMEDEV DO THIS??? TO ME????

>>530382980
IIRC the game in question is one of the Ori games. If it was priced for $40 instead of $20 based, they would've sold way less than half of the units that they did.

>>530382859
>The sound of those switches fucking scared me lol
Idk why but I find that charming :) Maybe the dude in the comments telling me to make it a poolrooms game was right. What makes the sounds scary?

>>530383710
Well that's because those games suck and sell themselves on their graphics

Anyone know any good resources for coding your own (2D) physics engine? I want to see wacky philosophical concepts of physics objects themselves, the real esoteric shit that isn't just point vectors and cubes and circles and {dx,dy}

>if you sell 2 million copies you will have no problem getting another publisher
>$10m to make, a publisher funded it. meaning the publisher paid the developer(s) $10m

this post makes it sound like the devs worked for free for x amount of years and only received less than 300k after the game released and sold

>>530383159
maybe if you weren't such a retarded bocchiposter good ideas would come to you

>>530383923
your game felt like backrooms liminal space stuff when I played it, if that's not what you want then you should change it to avoid giving off that feeling. just a heads up.

>>530383710
How the fuck does shit like ori cost 10m to make?

>>530383923
the volume, it's so loud

Since itch is still down I'm telling you here:
you can get softlocked in the second level, the water get spilled a lot and if you wait for all the water to move you can't continue

>>530384934
>the volume, it's so loud
Is it really that loud? I thought people were just turning up their volume all the way since it's really quiet until stepping on a button.
>the water get spilled a lot and if you wait for all the water to move you can't continue
Yeah I already knew it was going to be an issue when I uploaded it. I just need to adjust how high you can climb out of water. Thanks for telling me though

Since it's all so quiet and you're paying attention you're prone to overreact at a sudden change.
Also it could be because of my 'tism, that happens to me a lot lol

>i did everything i was supposed to do
No, you did not. You were supposed to make a good game.

>>530378014
I imagine that goes to paying the salary of a few dozen people for two years, plus rent, and other expenses.
Supposedly Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice had a $10 million budget over three years. They had at least fifteen developers along with contracting other companies for different roles.

I never really got any criticism or hate directed at me but I can't help notice how shitty this thread has become. 'Inner circle' gets mentioned like 20-40 times every thread now and there is basically zero progress being posted or even remotely thoughtful feedback. All the progress posted here is posted on the discord first anyway. I dont have anything against any specific dev here, it's just a bummer to be here in general now because the thread is just filled with nodes crabbing. This place was way better 8 years ago, and all those devs are long gone

>it doesn't work

>>530385453
Why the fuck did ori have 102 people working on it? It's like the most basic bitch 2d platformer with indie gimmicks.

>game controls just how I want it to on keyboard
>game controls just how I want it to on controller
>game on steamdeck controls so badly that it breaks the game in some ways
How do I fix this? Why doesnt godough recognize the steamdeck as a controller?

>>530385453
Yep. I talked to a studio the other day to find out how much it would take to re-do the graphics for my game. They quoted about 1 million. Now at least double that since those estimates are always gonna be wrong (it was a man-hour budget not a lump sum budget), then consider the fact there also needs to be people actually designing the enemies, the levels, sound effects (easily another million), localization, whatnot, – and it’s easy to reach $5m. Take a bit of a tardy team, some work being thrown away and reconsidered, etc. and double-digit millions are very easy to reach.
If you do ""professional"" work you burn money like crazy. (That studio wanted to start with making concept art for the models.) The only way to make a game cheap is to literally JLMG. Either alone or with a team of like-minded individuals who can focus on getting shit done

>>530388445
godot 5 is gonna fix this just ask juan nicely

>>530369557

Indie just means "independently funded/published". I.E. not created/backed up by a big corporation. If you have $10 million in your own bank account and decide to make a game by yourself, that game is still indie.

>>530393380
the label of "indie" isn't even a real word so people will say something is indie just for fitting a certain vibe even if it's made by a soulless corpo emulating that vibe
and the actual word "independent" in a business sense means literally any business that hasn't gone public on a stockmarket, of which there are still plenty of among big fatcat corposlop companies

also all vampires are a specific ethnicity and all members of that ethnicity are vampires and also the fact that they're vampires doesn't come up but it's not racist because they're totally vampires

>>530397450
from what i read it's only on the high end ones and most people say it's fixed, 12 gen has low core count, amd is much more expensive here 6 core 7600 almost cost as much as 14 core 14600kf

chat is this how it works?

>>530384430
Don’t forget the 70% publisher split

>>530397931
Intel Aviv is giving you some shit cores though, the number of proper cores in the 14600kf is also just 6. And the Ryzen 7600 has a bigger L3 cache.
How all this affects performance of devving in UE I wouldn’t be able to tell you, probably you could look at some benchmarks of games made in UE to get a partial impression. Phoronix also publishes, I believe, CPU benchmarks based on "how long does it take to compile the Linux kernel" - this would be another indicator for which is better. Gotta take the RAM into account, too… If you’ll be doing heavy 3D workloads in UE, more RAM is probably going to be very valuable.

I can't believe that I correctly predicted that my game would be unintentionally and counterintuitively attracting a significant amount of female players. Maybe I really do understand the market

No it is definitely the solution
I don’t mind the crab posters but when i come into this thread asking for genuine feedback i get 2 replies from hylics and silence. The only devs not receiving this are instead receiving 10-12 troll responses. I read almost every thread and over half of the meaningful and thoughtful replies are from me, and i post maybe 3 or 4 times in every other thread

If you have an IQ above 80 you're not going to make it. At least, not without the help of drugs and alcohol. You have to be as stupid as the common man to make the games the common man wants.

Where can I find pixel artists for hire other than social media, Upwork, Fiverr, and Art Station? I swear there was this newish freelancer site artists liked because it banned AI but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called. Do you know what I'm talking about?

>>530404229

I'm gay

I've been putting the necessary pieces to allow the opponent to intercept the pass. The camera switch, a jumping animation and then the ball flies by.
All that's left is to do the stat calculations to determine if possession switches or not.
I add a texture to the ball too.

probably not for any demo versions. I'd love to add local multiplayer as that what I wanted when playing FFX blitzball. But there's a lot to do before that.

How many posters here don’t actually make any games?

>>530412085
At least 70% and that's being really generous.

>>530412085
i have made one and some prototypes but now im done

>>530412085
Something you have to keep in mind is that the less games you make the more time you have to make multiple posts.

>>530412085
I think most have at least tried to make a game. Finish? 95%.

>>530369116 (OP)
I thought the biggest hurdle of solo dev would be time, and I was right in a way, but really it's solving every problem yourself. Some people take a break so their mind can run through all the options, but this often wastes a full day, and one day turns into 2, 3, 4....
The alternative is to immediately try and solve the problem by brute forcing it. This uses up more energy but I think it's the right choice. It's so easy to waste several days on minor problems, and often the problem is solved later by trying to brute force it anyways.
Getting anywhere in this without having more 8-10 hr work days in the week than not seems impossible. That seems to be the floor for progress

>>530410462
have a separate app/site and make it invite only, but be fairly liberal on handing out the invite.

then have a separate chat for the autists

i used to have game ideas, now i have game essences, a selection of vibes that my games will enchant the player with
i don't know what the game will be like exactly

but i'll figure it out

i'll figure it out

My ideas are shit like: a game made in 2 months.

I got Cris's Disorder. Instead of making a 1 year-long game, I try and fail to make 12 games a year, leading to no game at all in the end.

>>530408705

Good work. I mean that.

>>530413568
>Who cares lmfao. Trash ass mentally ill person game.

>>530412085
I used to but now I'm working on some other non-game programming crap. I don't really post either though, because I don't have anything to post about anymore. I only visit once every few months.
It's lonely out there. It's not the same without a thread to shitpost in and to call home

>>530412085
lemme tell you a secret

amateur games isn't interesting if you don't make games.
You can go to a place where everybody makes games and it'll be boring as shit if you don't make games. Everyone will be busy and you'll have nothing to do.

There will still be some lost and confused children but those will be in the minority. Slackers who sometimes make games but mostly goof off instead of working are also there.
>Lost people: 10%
>Slackers: 35%
>Wageslaves: 30%
>Yesdevs: 25%

With the money I get from my game, I'll be buying this entire site and shutting it down for good. Just one last gift, crab extinction. :)

>>530414278
If that happens I will make my own community and rule it with an iron fist.

when I heard "agdg" I immediately thought of a whole bunch of games but never these three. You have some kind of feminized brainrot. You buy games as status symbols, not to support any given dev. Don't come in here making statements like that to display yourself to people like you're some benevolent patron of independent creators when you just ended up buying the games you thought would give you the most cred
poser ass nigga

>>530415063
you should have bought mirrored coal. the developer is fucking starving. not him btw

>>530415324
i actually plan to buy all agdg games eventually

>>530415420
even the coomgames?

>>530415529
ok maybe not ALL of them...

>>530415420
why start with these ones you absolute zombie? Peripeteia is a top tier game but it's probably not a genre you are a fan of in the first place and you just heard it's popular here and sold well. Why the fuck didn't you start from some games you would have liked playing instead of immediately going for the meme tier? I will never understand normalfaggots

>>530415637
rude!

Does this seem correlated? Does the Steam algorithm actually work?

And the save side is done
>>530413568
Why are you crabing anon?

>>530415935
No

>>530415646
but i didn't START with it, i have plenty of agdg games already
i bought peri and fk because they are the ones i want to play next

>>530415935
but /agdg/ told me that capsule art doesn't matter...
they posted pictures of undertale and its capsule art and the capsule art wasn't hyperrealistic 3D but it was something actually relevant to the game instead, which proves that capsule art doesn't matter because that's bad...

>>530416031
No, you don't want to play them next. You think that the approved decision is to play them next. There's a difference. Flyknight is a 3 hour demo sold as a full game. Peripeteia will filter you and make you want to kill yourself for how inept of a gamer you are. Pick better games next time.

>>530416146
but i already tried them during past demo days, so i already know they are good

>>530415935

>>530416636
>misses the point completely and has no clue how Steam works
Thanks for your input, guy who has never listed a game on Steam. Kek

>>530416282
Here

>>530416776
not an /agdg/ game

>>530416636
To explain this better without being rude, Steam algorithm rewards better CTR with more impressions. Basically, if no one clicks your capsule Steam stops showing it to people. So a ramp up in impressions means the Steam algorithm is rewarding positive interactions (higher CTR). Bit of a chicken or the egg thing but that's generally how it seems to work from my observations.

>>530416776
>2 years updating
>new capsule art, trailer and visuals

>>530415420
Nice, my game will have 1 sale.

>>530417229
Not really grim at all, look at that and tell me it's worth $12. His price anchor should have been $2-3 based on that quality and he probably would've had decent success

Is there a notable impact from leaving a demo up even after a game launches? I would imagine taking it down just signals to potential buyers that you don't have faith in the demo converting sales, but like 80% of people do it....................

Now that monkeypunch dev gave up can I make a monkey game without the gay furry stigma in here? Thinking of having a protag more like Rajang from monster hunter, I want to take advantage of the new donkey kong clout.

>>530418370
you seem to be engaging with other /agdg/ games on twitter just fine

>>530418431
It will depend on the game, I sure have played demos that I enjoyed but was left satisfied enough to not buy the full game.

What is it with people picking specific human concepts and attaching retarded politics to them?
Same thing with lefties thinking that sympathy and respect are leftwing ("Woke means being hecking nice").
Cavemen figured out respect and love before mankind even thought of "politics"
I swear to God, Millenials make politics sound gayer than it already is.
Maybe it's because they're the "pop culture/internet manchild" generation, so they're trying to compensate for that.
Almost everyone that brings up Darwinism or "survival of the fittest" is unironically an actual loser in real life.

>>530418780
You can, pixel art is just a scaled down version of any other art form. Don’t put too much emphasis on individual pixel placement and don’t be a perfectionist, rough things out and fill in and render detail as you go, just like you would with high res art. The pixels come last
Also, spend a lot of time studying and trying to recreate the style and composition of pixel art from other games you like. I spent a ton of time back in the day studying the art from symphony of the night

monkey punch dev was literally a gay furry troon gooner that quit because he was nearing suicide. I really genuinely hope he gets the help he needs to detransition and get over the AGP porn addiction that many here seem to struggle with. That lifestyle only ends one way and it ain't good

Since we have two mechdevs here, do you think making the terrain is easier or more difficult than it would be doing a straight FPS or flight simulator?
I was toying with the idea of doing a flying robot but realized that would mean having to handle flight sim sized terrain while also having to put extra detail into ground objects you normally wouldn't deal with, like cities.
I find terrain really annoying in general but it seems like making a mech or vehicle game would be even worse because it requires more of it.

Also he has this built on top of a fanbase of a 150 reviews game

>>530425401
>"Steam doesnt show your game to anyone if its in EA"
Where does this myth come from? Litereally every single major hit indie game nowadays is EA. It is true you get a major boost going from EA to 1.0, but it's so silly (and giga coping for floptards) to pretend Steam will hide your game because it's in EA.

the people are real, im schizoid. not schizoh

Is devil spire 2 any good? I watched the entire trailer and have no idea what the game is about, it was just a montage of random 1 second clips from someone playing the game? no story, no voice actor, no title cards, literally nothing at all to tell me what the game is about? Crazy how low effort that is kek

It's because they grew up on PC, not nintendo. Same with eastern europe.
People just make games from their childhood (also why there are so many derivatives), and the games nintendo kids grew up with don't sell on PC.

Got replays working and connected the way they were meant to but then it became a horrible spaghetti mess and I think I need to rewrite because it was getting the point where I was pulling out the gotos.

>>530430361
>gotos

>>530430361
Is this the spaceship landing game? Maybe I need to try it. Obviously it's early days, but you could make a dank trucking/caravan type game with this.

>>530428737

Are MH tails a separate object in the first place? How is the seam not visible if so?

I didn't say everything was fine, the world sucks right now lol. But people yapping about a fucking discord and inner circle and other shit nonstop when it's so irrelevant to their lives or progress. Unless GabeN himself was the head of the inner circle and banned you from posting to steam no one can stop your game but yourself for making a shitty ass game, which, you most likely will but it won't be because of others.

>>530431048
Why would a tail be a separate mesh? Are arms? lmao

>>530431053
>2D
>clearly looks like 3D models

Does feel like the inner circle and gabe are colluding to make my game flop some days. Ta ta to that though, I shant say any more out of fear.

Man, trying to plan a supermarket bagging game. 3d rotation is such a bad idea, you want only one point of view. But they you don't have enough space to lay down a baguette, that's stupid. So there has to be some verticality.

>>530431187
holy shit smartest agd

>>530431187
I have to turn the 3D models into 2D images for it to work with the engine's built in animation software for 2D sprites since the rest of the graphic is 2D

>>530430727
>make a dank trucking/caravan type game
Something like that. Less specifically about trading, but instead just doing a bunch of random missions that require you to fly and land places. It's a very basic, very low scope game.
>>530431105
I ran into some really nasty problems that I didn't predict, I think caused mostly by not respecting encapsulation. Normally I'm not a particularly strict believer in encapsulation, but in this case, there was too much code where classes were reaching into others innards, and it had bad consequences for the asynchronous code that was running to manage all this stuff. I think if I rewrite it now, knowing what I know now, I should be able to avoid those problems.

Any snubbed game wants feedback?

>>530431187
>Why would a tail be a separate mesh?
I downloaded a monster model from models-resources and it had a separate body and a tail mesh, no joint one.

So, now the Demo day is over, what was your favorite demo?

>Recording inputs, or persisting flight graphs
Both. I'm doing it in an extremely brute force way that would be easy to optimize, but since the replays are only a few seconds long I'm not concerned. In general though, what you'd do for this kind of thing is record inputs as frequently as is practical, and record physics snapshots as infrequently as you think you can get away with. Play those inputs back on a simulated object, so that it flies close enough, and the the physics snapshots will keep everything in sync. If you can do this, you're also like 80% of the way to multiplayer, since that's essentially what MP is, not that I have any plans on doing that.
I just record input and physics snapshots every physics frame though because they're so short.

I'm too frustrated and thrown off from real life things going on right now to work on my game...

>>530436773
There's a bunch of stuff that's way better with GDScript to make it less painful, and the resource handling is a lot more robust now. The API has gotten better, but 3D, physics, and animation still suck in Godot.

They're doing this at work to me tomorrow

>>530436773
did they finally fix html5 builds? Last time I checked, the docs said stick to godot 3

Do you use uml diagrams or something similar to visually represent your program?

>>530431752

>poonity

>>530440275
That's because Unity is proprietary. You don't own the engine nor the liabilities of licensing any 3rd party software. You agree to a giant TOS when you download it, and they can ban you from your project when they notice that you left some racial slurs in your code comments after they force you to cloud backup without asking. It's a legal issue, not a technical issue.

vroid becomes much better when you know how to edit textures, and I sometimes use gimp to edit textures. I did this with the pantsu to line everything up since in the software you cannot do as much as what you can do in photoshop. it's the same with blender where you can export and reimport textures from photoshop/gimp in seconds. there are smart ways to import accessories not in vroid, but usually if you attach a hat to a head, it won't attach to the bones where it will stay in place when imported into a game engine and running animations that way.

Congrat to 300 review of TOK.

holy shit huge, I thought this was gonna hit 10 reviews, I didnt believe
huge gz

>>530452708
You should be thinking more about giving up.

>>530423407
That's what I worred about. Even if your mech can't fly the scale changes how you interact with buildings. If your robot can fly it completely changes it, plus you have to put more effort into art because things like skyscraper tops become visible.
I understand now why so few mech games are being made.

>>Game: Merchant 64 on steam
>>Review: This game is just busywork. Go to one area, read all the text, do 1st grade math, get robbed, go to the next area. Rinse and repeat. I had hoped that there would be.. y'know, something?? At all?? But that really is all there is to Merchant 64. The trailer makes it look like there will be fun character interactions or places to explore. There isn't. It's got good vibes, I guess? Merchant 64 is hardly worth the time and money.

I really can't understand what that person was expecting from the game. Practically all games can be described as just 'busy work', and almost all merchant games can be described as just 'buy low, sell high'. Recettear is exactly this, yet 15 years after its release, it's still mentioned as one of the best games in the genre. Can someone help me understand what that player expected? If you're into the genre, could you tell me what's the mysterious ingredient that makes a game like this feels like the right kind of busy work?

>>530453887
that's pathetic

>>530454412
Ok, I'll do it.

I still need to play some DD games, but I'm making some small tweaks to keep my skills fresh. A big problem this DD was game clarity, so I'm making bets that are not "on" greyed out, and adding red numbers to the roll indicator. This should get more people to actually look at it, which I felt only about 10% of playtesters noticed it, as well as building some associations with how the game flows.

>>530455187
Post your game steam then

"You walk around in a field and simply click to pick up "Junk". You then walk into town and sell said "Junk". Depending on the prices that day, you make more or less money. You then leave and go back into the field to get more junk, then you go back to town and sell it. That's it. "

I mean if that's true, it's lacking mechanics. Maybe ask chatgpt for additional features a market game could use.

>>530455017
>Can someone help me understand what that player expected?
They expected more. They expect some innovation.
>If you're into the genre, could you tell me what's the mysterious ingredient that makes a game like this feels like the right kind of busy work?
Mystia's Izakaya is the best recent entry into the genre.

>>530455017
they expected character interaction like the trailer apparently suggests there is

>>530455391
Post your steam page.

I shan't be playing Galduen ever again. You're on your own now bitch. You just lost your greatest supporter

>>530455017
Just glancing at the trailer, the world seems VERY small. Part of what makes Caravan/Trucking games fun is feeling like you are traversing a large space, and typically dealing with issues on the way. Seems this game lacks both.

>>530453887
Not surprised

>>530455714
Retard I have been permitted to see through the veil of time and observe my game having 1000 reviews. How am I supposed to post an image of that? I can't access my computer in the future through this link and even if I could how would I send a file back in time?

I had to scan for about 20 seconds to find out where these "red numbers" were
holy shit there's a thing on the right??

yeah, unfortunately it's right at the player's peripheral in that sorta 'grey zone' where it's really hard to notice anything going on
that really needs to be within the dice field, you need dead space around the edges of the screen where stuff doesn't happen unless the player is actively seeking it out (like an options menu in the corner)
it's also because the indicator is behind other big blocky static menus that aren't interacted with, I guess. I dunno, I'm just trying to come up with reasons why nobody (including me) even noticed it existed. It's like that object in the room that has always just been there but you never really thought about what it is.

>>530455807
lol seriously? Yeah it only took him 17k wishlists, a publisher deal with the devil, 6 years of development, and 4 months on the market to reach this lukewarm milestone. Good job loser

sisyphus? cute

>>530455608
What bothers me is that I can describe Recettear in exactly the same way: 'you simply buy items or find them in the dungeon and resell them to customers.' Isn't that practically the same as picking up items in one town and selling them in another? What makes Recettear acceptable and this game not?

>>530455391

Phew looks like I'm safe, bros.

>>530456880
So no game then? Shame.

Bros I'm starting to think the inner circle really are all of the shittiest most NGMI games here and that success on the open market is inversely proportional to popularity in /agdg/

>>530455784
I agree with you, the game really does seem quite small. HOWEVER, my question still stands. Recettear is even smaller. The game consists of just a small town, a shop, and a dungeon that's so repetitive it's barely worth exploring, yet it's still considered a good game. Sometimes it feels like players have no idea that all the games they enjoy are basically 'busy work,', 'go from point A to point B' or 'buy low, sell high.' But in some cases they simply like them, and in others they simply don't, without any awareness of what they're actually experiencing.

something about my game seems to unlock a primal caveman state in the mind of anyone who looks at it, like a cursed orb or something

i believe that making the game you want over following trends is more rewarding when you find out that it's fun to play. this is because the idea was entirely made by you rather than copying someone else's.

these number go up games are exploitative as they target the flower picker demographic who are easily willing to waste their life on arbitrary numbers.

You need to dev in order to have a game to post.

This game looks like a Cropulation-tier kenyan helicopter. It was made by some retard who thinks cute = cozy = casual. Meanwhile in reality, Recettear is actually brutally difficult and reasonably complex systems game, and will certainly require any player to save scum as they learn the game.

Recettear is a 20+ hour game with probably over 10k lines of dialogue, a dozen or so interesting characters, and hundreds of items. Merchant 64 has no recognizable characters, no plot, and LITERALLY THREE (3) FUCKING ITEMS IN A GAME ABOUT SELLING ITEMS???? The three items are mechanically identical palette swaps named "Junk", "Stuff", and I can't see the third from the trailer. I can't imagine anything more creatively bankrupt and lower effort.

How severe is your brain damage?

TOK won.

I think my autistic brain sees game mechanics in a very low-level way. To me, Counter-Strike and any shooter can be summed up as a game of 'putting the cursor on the enemy,' Mario as a game about exploring every 'possible type of jump,' and merchant games as simply 'buy low, sell high' games. So, it's hard for me to see and understand the nuances and elements that make someone like a game or not. For me, everything is reduced to the most basic idea about the mechanic. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

300 is gmi tier?
I thought gmi-flation had raised the bar higher.
It used to be 100 reviews but that's long since been considered a flop.

>>530458959
seems you need to play more games and make the kinda games you enjoy.
