why did you make the thread 2 posts early

Honestly I've reached the SOVL level.

>>530618390
ngmi, looks like something I found in my toilet once before

Gaben is not holding a gun to your head and forcing you to sell on his store. You and every other developer, indie and AAA alike, each as individual rational market participants, are independently making the decision to sell on his store yourself, because you understand very well that you will make far more money with him than without him.

>>530618617
I can't even afford the fee to get into his store...

>>530618617
is this the test that Gabe always wanted us to pass?

To finally outgrow him? To leave the nest?

>>530618390
This cannot continue.

progress

>>530618617
honestly, gotta face it.

Steam is basically people's digital game shelf nowadays.

It looks nice to have a collection of games in that Steam Library.

concept art progress

I think it'd be fun if devs burnt a bunch of copies of their games and then rented out tiny booths to sell their games in person at twice-yearly convention.

making a fotm hype game you should expect it to be forgotten like that

the game has served its purpose by making millions and because of its high reviews it will have a strong sales tail for a couple years even if people don't talk about it

>>530618617
The only thing that would topple Steam like Netflix toppled Blockbuster, is Games as a service.

You pay a subscription, and get every single game on the platform.

i have done nothing but bedrot since demoday ended

>>530618617
Itch.io typically takes a 10% cut from sales, but developers can set this percentage anywhere from 0% to 100% based on their preference. This flexible revenue-sharing model allows creators to decide how much they want to support the platform.

So xbox game pass? I don't think that's toppling Steam.

>>530618734
>>530618913
>>530619230
The market would be so much worse without Gaben at the head. If the industry doesn't provide customers with a single platform that conveniently hosts all their favorite games, then they'll create that platform on their own called The Pirate Bay. Just look at how the film industry managed to tear itself apart.

>>530619693
then who will make the games? bunch of dirty pirates?

>>530619520
this looks so goofy

I need a dev partner for emotional support

imagine a pirate going into a shanty salty salt shanty dubloon portside tavern and saying "ARgh mateys... I gotta get a survival crafterlike... with light roguelite elements."

this game actually looks like a viral hit.
like the next Portal. It has that vibe.

>>530619693
I already pirate everything. I want to watch AAA games burn. Won't even give them money for the good games because they'll just take that money to churn out shitty games and shut down my favorite studio anyways so fuck em.

>>530619853
100 games release on Steam every day BECAUSE Steam exists. Without Steam, far few developers would be making games.

I really hope so, I have a quite a few more features planned.

Im going to have usable items, bullet deflection like battlefront, guns, more fun traversal stuff, a destruction derby deatchmatch mode, new playable characters erc.

>>530620402
you know this can be a good multiplayer melee duel-em-up right? Kind of like Mordhau?

Make a robo arena mode.

I'm starting to think I can make something better than most AAA games.

It's like my powerlevel is reaching levels not a single game has reached yet.

New buildings

>>530620668

Bot arena mode is already being worked on, online multiplayer will have to be a stretch goal

Alright, all the invites should be sent by now for this year's meet-up. If you didn't get a notification, there is either no clear way to contact you or your game just isn't complete or compelling enough.
As always accomodations will be provided for the week, but if you have financial difficulty with travel costs, there are instructions in the email for what assistance is available.

Looking forward to seeing you all again and some of you for the first time :)

>>530621268
is this real?

>>530623398
I checked the archives and the larper behind that claimed that most attendees were women. They were apparently very selective of which guys were allowed to join

>>530623398
i heard on twitter that every one of them had 0 women and i wouldn't believe any other number

>>530623398
unlike how most incels would tell you, women have a biological fear to fuck random guys because of random pregancies that can kill them.

>>530623853
none of those exist

this wouldn't surprise me if females were to be present
they wouldn't want some gross neckbeards in the orgy

this is the expectation
nowadays it would be full of trannies

>>530624051
Lmao you think this means they're just not using tinder for dick appointments?
No what that means is a kajillion guys try, and they swipe left on almost all of them.

>>530624447
women wont fuck the random bottom 80% of males.

didn't you guys give up on 3DPD a long time ago? what gives

>>530624914

>>530624918
the sitcom can only go on in this state for so long. It needs the 'the cast is successful and has gfs' arc now. and we have get togethers and banter.

does a game story need to have meaning to be good? can it be... just a story?

I had no idea that the steam summer sale was so good for getting wishlists. I've gained like 200 since the start of the sale.

>>530625313
no it isn't

>>530625357
personally, I have a specific story to tell the world so I have to make games which relate to said story. But if you don't have a particular story you care about telling, a game can be successful just as a toy.

>>530625357
Unless it's an rpg a story is basically irrelevant. It's a game not a book.

>>530625389
you should be getting 200 per day for your wishlists to be considered good

>>530625568
a good story can really enhance the experience, I feel

if no one heard of your game then that means you can still just blatantly market it. it's not like the whole world has written your game off.

just go tell people word of mouth about your game.

play more multiplayer games. interact.

if you know it is good, then you should be confident enough to talk about it.

>>530625357
there's many types of games that don't need a story at all

depends what you're making

Uma Musume

>>530625675
And good gameplay trumps that every single time.

>>530625313
yeah, and the laugh track are the comments on my DD submission

>>530626482
>misusing that acronym like a retard?
Yeah, retarded, I was thinking more of DMC3

>>530625357
a good story is nothing more than a heroe, his sidekick versus a villain and his minions, staring from a safe room and increasing the odds of their battle towards a climax, where the villain is going to be defeated because of his hubris and fatal flaw like being too arrogant, and then victory comes and they all live happy after the big evil is defetated.

Trying to simply innovate in this basic plot is how you end up with modern millenial marvel writing.

People don't want innovations regarding the basic anatomy of a story.

>>530625389
retard is obviously lying btw, wishlist reporting has been paused globally for the entire steam platform for the past 2 weeks.

>>530626723
Yeah, I think I'm only capable of writing that type of basic plot :<

>>530626846
Let tell you the biggest redpill I have gotten after years of writing and studying writing.

A good story is nothing more than the basic plot I just told you, but the story is always about a hero party fighting some enemies.

And then you make a diferent villain arc in a diferent town and the story is about getting a list of items to defeat him.

That's enough for like most of the classic JRPG stories.
It's always go to a new town/dungeon, and then get a bunch of items from npcs to solve their problem, like getting a knife that was stolen by rats that is needed to make a cake, or find the ingredients to make a potion to heal a sick priest that know the secret to open the door to the dungeon.

JRPG writing always boils down to opening locked doors by getting some key item a npc needs to open it.

That's basically it.

A good advice would be to start with an anime dere archetype and then add a bunch of like mental issues, like fears, broken dreams, feelings of like not being good enough, talking alone, being ego maniac, being proud, being compulsive lier, not having a father figure, being always hungry, being always desiring money.

A good way to write, is to think more in terms of characters having a fatal flaw, like you could start with the christian 7 deadly sins, and then because of trauma, like a character being killed, they have a sudden emotional transformation to overcome their flaw.

Also, another tips is that depending on their type, a character death is usually diferent.
Minor characters deaths are for making the MC party have an emotional reason to change their ways.
A major character being killed is a really big deal for the story, usually only done on the big climatic events.
Npcs and cannon fodder are killed to showcase villains being dangerous.
Minions are killed to show the party skills.
Minion Generals are killed as punishment for failing to defeat the player party by the big evil boss or as character minor plot event.

>>530627543
>ive been waiting for godot to add back web export for C# since january 2023
didn't they literally just announce they got c# web export working again in 4.5? did they cancel it?

>>530627954
>>530626846
I forgot to add.

Is not necesary to kill the characters.
It's more related to making them stopping the fight in some way.

Like a professor that has to move away because he got a newer job.
Or a friend that has to leave because he has to go and study in another nation.

That's also a way to do a similar thing to kill the characters, but without having them actually killed.

Villains can instead go to jail, give up their evil ways, be injured so they cant keep fighting, etc.

Also, the story doesn't need to be about killing, it can be a competition to win a contest, or win the love of a girl.

In most cases the story has to be about two groups of characters who has to be in competition about something they can't give up so they have to fight or compete until the end.

Also, don't forget a lot of the best stories deal with the MC having ideas about giving up or thinking he's not good enough for the task, or asking why he was chosen to suffer.

my advice is to read lajos egri dramatic writing, the 36 dramatic situations, and robert mckee books on dialogs and the story and the hero's journey and heroine's journey and read TV tropes pages about how to write diferent genres and how to make a character band.

That should give you the fundamentals of writing a story, much better than 99.9% of anime fags.

After that try to like watch a bunch of videos on mythology and history to learn how to write something deep and with substance and not just le funny anime girl getting naked.

Learning the fundamentals of philosophy also would help with things like understanding the things that make story stop being a fictional story, and become more a tool to use the characters to discuss about politics and morality.

Most writers focus on writing the style, but only the masters write stories that have substance.

Created a point-and-click game engine for web.
I'm creating a Sherlock Holmes point-and-click game. I can create scenes pretty fast with this engine so I made a webm of me building part of a scene.

idk about any of you, but all the sherlock holmes games are boring and don't require any real thought. I used to create ARGs so know how to make a good mystery and that's what I plan to do.
also the witnesses and people you talk to are all in-character LLMs, but still building that portion.

The click areas do layer, currently with the most recently created one being highest on the stack.
The conditions are something I need to add, but having trouble thinking of a clever solution to that. Maybe have it set a global boolean if clicked, then on other objects have it only show if that boolean is selected. Think I will go with that method.

Also need to add an object-to-inventory option and item interaction options for each click region.

Added a bunnycube temple to the very start of the games tutorial level to help explain in the lore where the angels govern the bunny cubes; and boku was spawned and boku's mission to save the other bunny cubes.

Going to put 2 other angel NPC's here that explain a bit of lore and world situation to the player so the games story makes more sense and you get the geist right at the start and can keep going to the tutorial right after.

>>530633412
>object-to-inventory
that means a lot of extra art, right? Any plans how to do that? I don't know much about this level, but it's interesting and sometimes I like this type of game.
Will you have some list of interactions that are constant everywhere in the world, or will interactions be specific to the object? Some conditionals here could be neat too, especially if they were visually indicated as such, saying "here's a new interaction available now due to some condition"

Oh yeah and just a reminder that if you haven't released your game within four years you're actually a nodev.

>>530637823
There are 1000 indie and AAA devs that agdg devs are actually better than but we have nowhere near the fame and power. I suspect it will change within the next decade as the power struggle in the gaming industry shifts further away from faggots, niggers and women back to based solodevs

Here are some cris quotes:
>I'm not cris
>I'm not a pedo, it's just a cartoon

You'd think it'd be easier to make a rance-like

There's literally nothing wrong with marrying children though. The talmud literally says "if she bleeds she can breed"
and the hebrews would never do anything bad!

come to think of it, there really aren't THAT many sims-likes out on the market right now.

>>530641882
GTA 6 is about to release though, within the next five years, so it'll be a bad market for indie sims likes

>>530642070
GTA 6 is a Sims-like?!

>>530641824
>Have you tried adding numbers that increase?
fuck you fucking bitch
all of you act like its so easy... yet none of you have fun games.... twisted.....

>>530642157
Here's a hint when you multiply a number by a number larger than 1 it increases, because you add a number with a number larger than zero it increases.
Try that

>>530640838
Very nice
>>530631253
Cute
>>530641882
Yes. Part of the space has been taken up by Rimworld and the likes, but that can’t appeal to women much, can it?
Problem is, the old Sims titles are still very alive, and part of the appeal of the whole game is the HUGE variety of assets. Which the existing entries have accumulated over many expansions and modpacks.
Also the goofy graphics are kinda part of Sims, so even if you COULD make a game that looks better than Sims 2, it wouldn’t neccessarily be a selling point.

it's over

you were too late to be a gamedev

>>530640838
This could turn into a nice casual/comfy game if you can hit the ambience just right.

fucking hell, it's impossible to find someone to TEST your shit, let alone fucking find someone to work with

>>530641882
Trying to compete with AAA is stupid. People who like Sims are playing Sims or that new Korean game. You should target stuff that AAA has abandoned.

We don't, it's just the internet that insists that's the case. Gen alpha is still very far off

Nope, this thread is for gamedevs, you're here for no reason actually.

>>530651594
this is not streamer-friendly

*hops up and down clapping like a seal*
Wishie day! Gabe has come to town! Yay!

action requires valuing something and believing you can achieve it.
nodevs either don't value games or they don't believe they can make one.

laziness and discipline are just self-help curse-words in the ego-world to make someone feel proud or guilty about their behavior. it's for people with a slave mindset.

I don't know if I really want to make my game anymore. I don't want to do nothing, but do I really want to make THIS?

>>530660265
You're confusing deep with complex. Streamers do not like complex games. They like simple, but deep games. i.e. Quick to pick up, but takes a long time to master.

i feel if i had a big game i'd absolutely fucking hate it's fans and everyday i'd be devastated that they aren't cooler smarter people

i feel if i had a big game i'd absolutely fucking love it's fans and everyday i'd be overjoyed that they are cool smart people

Don't worry your game doesn't need to be big for this.

i don't get it, they sold their game to a publisher because they are money hungry, yet they complain about a money hungry publisher.

What happened to your C/Lisp engine? Also I too have a fucked up keyboard but I tough it out even though it's painful. Anyway it would be cool if you actually made a game using your engine.

>>530666292
Your selection method sucks. What you need to do is a VN style romance minigame where you must charm and impress the weapon you want to use, and their affection value determines the weapon's effectiveness.

>>530663395
>and somebody with far less integrity
Gaben already takes almost half the income from indie devs just to host the game he didn't make, he made all the goodwill from redditors selling games he didn't make via steam sales, he hired psychologists to minmax purchases, he made you forget that games before the digital age used to drop price over time permanently, he allowed the first lootboxes, he allowed porn, he allowed AI.
I'm not sure what kind of integrity you think Gaben has, one day people will wake up on valve just like they woke up on Israel.

Is it over for Diablo 1 likes?

>>530671535
>What happened to your C/Lisp engine?
I'd like to work on it but I just don't have the time right now. Maybe I could work on it instead of this, but I've gotten rusty with programming so I just wanted something to practice with.

>>530642815
Did you submit your game to the Jam? Plenty of feedback given there.

>>530645803
makes me remember

Been having a depressing thought lately.
For years and years I've been very passionate about video games, and the only reason I can make my own now is because I was able to get over my addiction of video games. Now if I end up making a really good game, one that some people will want to spend hours upon hours playing, then in essence I am robbing them of their potential, and their time that they could be using to do something productive and get away from video game addiction. In the other hand, if nobody enjoys my game, then that's also gonna be depressing. It would be different if more people would get inspired to make their own game from playing a great game, but most consumers only feel "inspired" to spend even more time on the game.

>>530675241
if you believe video games are bad for you, you'll have serious trouble making one, because of how negatively you framed them. it's like trying to quit eating pizza and then starting to make pizzas. you gotta make up your mind first. do you like video games or not?

>>530675042
Whenever I try to rotate the apple all I see is the universe and glimpses into the future. Then it turns into a pair of boobs. Where am I on this scale?

>>530675574
I like video games, but for me a perfect video game would in essence be a game that makes you want to return to real life and get your shit together instead of one that you'll want to return to over and over again. Same way I only played a game like Ico once but it was instrumental in finding my life path.
I know that sounds pretentious and gay.

Be honest, can you make a basic web app?

>>530675241

>>530675042

>>530675241
interesting mind tricks that you're using to do nothing

I can't fix it.

>>530675884
you are making simple assumptions about complex things. life is too complicated. your video game addiction might have saved you from something way more serious. your addictive game might actually have positive effects in total.
human brain is too low iq to really understand this.
also just because someone quits gaming doesnt mean their life gets better. it might just become even more depressing. games can just be the scapegoat.

>>530675895
Yes, I maintain internal basic web page deployed on kubernetes for my company

>>530675884
also sometimes i feel way more motivated to do something in real life after a good satisfying gaming session than after a full day of not doing anything. fun can actually improve your mental stability. work hard play hard kinda.

This is a cautionary tale.
I use Godot on an old PC running Windows 7.
After installing .NET 8.0 for use with Godot 4.41 my memory usage went through the roof. I mean one frame per 30 seconds, 99% physical memory usage, multiple hard system crashes. After shutting down every other program I was able to get my project to compile as long as I left it alone for ten minutes.
After multiple attempts I was finally able to find this: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/8404
>.NET 7 is not supported on Windows 7. The large memory usage is a known bug that was marked wont-fix: dotnet/runtime#79469.
After uninstalling .NET 8.0 and setting the project to use 6.0 I was able to run normally. The only downsize is it means I'm locked out of future Godot versions because it only supports 8.0.
Thanks for reading my blog.

>>530676426
Any reason why it’s not

best way to teach your kid something is to constantly tell it that it's hard and it's gonna take a lot of time. lmao. i get why people say this, it's to tell your brain "it's fine to feel overwhelmed". but what it actually does is telling you that you shouldn't do it because... it's hard and takes a long time.
this mindset does more harm than good. ideally you learn things playfully.

same as people constantly telling you to not expect money from what you are doing. that's like telling your brain "this is not gonna make money".

it's just doomerism and nihilism packed into "realism".

>>530684710
it shows that the focus is efficiency and money. it's like constantly telling yourself "i do not want to have gay sex". it's just weird to think that all the time and it actually rather implies you wanna have gay sex.

Landing animation for Galduen spaceship.

Is it illegal to model a real world object? Like, say I have a hammer. Is it illegal to model a 3D hammer that is pretty much a copy of the real one? Assuming you remove brand marks and stuff. Part of me thinks that no one would ever know, but with some objects, some companies might have very specific designs and the fact I'm not an underwater basketweaving kit expert might prevent me from spotting them.

Rainbow Six always used exact models. As did Jagged Alliance. But GTA uses fictional models. I don't think it's an issue. I can't find any instances of a game studio getting sued or even being asked to change the model names.

programming: you learned how to code it? done.
art: you learned how to draw it? ok now texture it. ok now color it. ok now model it. ok now texture the model. ok now animate it. oh topology isn't correct? guess re-model it.

R.U.S.E. was pulled from Steam because the licence for the Willys Jeep ran out (this might also have just been EA being EA)
I can't think of a single moment this has happened otherwise. Sometimes you hear things about fighter planes not being in a game because of licensing issues but it's always to explain their absence, never retrospective. The big example was the Panavia Tornado in War Thunder, which got added a few years ago meaning it's all probably bullshit.

Finished planning next steps, back to prog bois, I'll change the boss rush format direction, I'll go with each level being a fully explorable map with loots and stuffs and rescope the thing.

Not coding, because you can work it out as you go along. You need to have an aptitude for coding but in rare cases you can get away with RPGmaker or VN slop.

Definitely animation. Your art doesn't have to be stunning but if you can't animate then it's an INCREDIBLY hard sell. The number of successful games with no animation made in reason years could be counted on your hands.

Other than that it's just discipline and scope management. If you fuck up your scope early on you'll never finish a game. If you don't have the drive to make a game and the time to do it you won't finish a game.

Is there any legal consideration you need to make when creating a fan game?
Obviously I can't use characters from a major IP and sell the game on Steam.
But can you work around this using Patreon? Can I take the exact character personality and appearance and give them a different name, under the name of a 'parody'?
I understand that major IPs don't spend all day cracking down on fan pornography but some IPs do occasionally go hard on people for no good reason.

>>530697879

>>530697668
Eating is a necessity. Videogames are categorically different in that they are simply a means of spending time (regardless of how enriching you consider it). By way of that fact it competes with any other elected way of spending time, whereas eating competes with nothing as it exists in its own category. It's possible to dislike almost every game made/that is being made and wish for one that you would be willing to spend your time on. I hardly play anything these days and the game I am making is one that I would want to play.

I don't understand the obsession with Bocchi. There's like 3 more anime characters that are posted regularly here but Bocchi is the only one that you notice.
I even started to Bocchipost to annoy bocchiposters because I felt in the meme, but the actual anons annoyed were others kek.

Probably need your own engine for a Simcity-like right?

>>530698262
That agrees with my post. Discretion and choice within eating is "would I prefer rice or potato for a starch? Or just fruit? Actually I only really like milk." whereas video games compete within the choice-world of "do I want to play a game? Or would I rather read, or watch this movie. Actually I'd rather just get drunk and listen to music."

>I decided to add to the problem

the problem with bocchi specifically is it's a self-defeatist, low-energy, cringe-type meme in the same way that pepe used to be. Nowadays pepe has become somehow weirdly based and now Tomoko/whatever the latest no-lifer self-insert character is have become the cringe.

>>530698587
You only need your own engine if you're making something that intends to model a lot of shit all happening simultaneously and even then, I've heard from other devs you can make it all work in Unity or whatever, you just have to learn what the processing cost of everything is.
I would still make my own engine if I were making a Factorio-like game where it simulates vast swathes of land simultaneously with collisions or other physics properties. Simcities doesn't really have physics so as long as your textures and models are reasonable I don't see it becoming a problem.

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/106125#issuecomment-2861148747

the godot C# web export fix which has been worked on for a while by a nonmaintainer dude might have to be scrapped because maintrooners are pushing C# to just another extension instead of doing their job maintaining it as a main option along gdscript
so tl;dr the godot foundation lied about C# being a priority just to bait unity refugees and is now slowly flushing it down the toilet

>>530701787
probably a /pol/ newcomer that thinks this board's bump limit nears 300

>>530701872
If i may, yes i think that's the trick man. Nostalgia is a major thing that motivates you to craft. Also, making modern twist of an old game technically means rejuvinating a lost genre.

>>530701987
>and is now slowly flushing it down the toilet
I'm perfectly fine with this. gdscript is fine and mono sucks big nuts.

>>530701987
good thing I never even considered dropping unity. when they announced that runtime fee, I knew it was going to end with them backtracking and sweetening the deal to quell the outrage. while everybody was losing their shit over moving from unity, I was happily chipping away at my game.

Why Unity over Godot?

>>530618081 (OP)
I haven't finished the save system yet. It's soooo boring. I need action like pow pow, make combat mechanics, set up cool VFX, or make qt models.

>>530702493
I started using Unity because I knew and liked C# much more than Python (and GDscript is basically Python)

Genuinely speaking, how did Void War get away with it?

>>530702493
godot for freedom
unity for pretty much better everything

I choose freedom. Besides godot is catching up to unity fairly fast so I don't mind it being a little rough.

>>530702493
Honestly if I was doing 3D I'd probably use UE and for 2D godot.

>>530702493
Unity have many tutorials. Many assets. Normie non gate-keeping communities. Literally all answer on coding sides have already posted on stack overflow. If you want freedom, sure pick Godot. But I want access, so i pick Unity.

I ain't gonna live inside a prison, even as its warden

>>530702828
as someone who's used unreal for years. no. just no. at least if you're a single dev. pick unity or godot. unreal has too many features and it's very easy to get lost in the sauce really quickly. it's like going to a restaurant and their menu is 20 pages long; you will take forever picking out what you want.

Most flight sims have lived in a grey area of the law since the genre started. The Activision lawsuit with GM about using Humvees ended up in their favor, which is to say that depicting military equipment as a part of authenticity is probably okay. However it's not well-trodden legal ground. EA and Bell settled out of court (BF4 calls its helicopters Venoms and Vipers, which is a Bell name), probably because they didn't want to help set legal precedent. Some games will actually seek out real licenses for their jets. Ace Combat for example licenses everything. That is however, the exception.

You can PROBABLY depict accurate military equipment. You are SAFER if you never call them by copyrighted or trademarked names, and instead only by their public domain military designations. E.g. don't call your missile a SIDEWINER®, just call it AIM-9. You are SAFEST if you just make up something legally distinct, which is the route Activision has gone in COD because even though they won their case against GM, it still cost them a ton of money and they'd rather not have to deal with it again.

Something else funny, is that I think some companies are wizening up to the military designation thing. Raytheon now trademarks not just the Sidewinder name, but also AIM-9X. If you want to hear more about stuff like this, there's actually a very well made and researched video on the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okMhLCaPuuM
