Is my game not interesting enough to attract a lowlife schizophrenic like OP? WHY NOT? TELL ME!

still looking to link up

do you actually want to make video games or do you just want to pretend your game will make you rich so you can justify being unemployed

>>530801004
That's nice. It's nice to see you still making progress on it. It looks pretty unique but one thing I feel looks weird is the shirt, the texture in particular. It doesn't feel like cel-shaded, anatomy of the guy. It just looks like lines on his shirt.

>>530802173

Are you a game developer, or an artist using video games as an artistic platform?

Been working on new guns for the mech and finally gave the laser cannon textures. New guns are the shotgun and grenade launcher. Also adjusted the IK for the player character. Will also post the howitzer and new shield enemy.

>>530803176
kino shit

Art is such a fucking bottleneck bros it's unbelievable. Where do you find third worlders to art slave on the cheap? Fiverr artists are getting so uppity and twitter is impossible to navigate

>>530803176
looks like it could use some smoothing on the tracking of the guns
they're a bit jittery

>>530802860
Why not both?
>>530803330
Same here dawg, i need concept artists or something, i can model and texture but i'm shit at coming up with new stuff. My assets are either copying already existing art or modifying existing assets.

>>530803330
you gotta get creative to solve the problem be it minimalist art that you can make or using asset packs or whatever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USsL6RSGHUs

Can somebody give me a (You) I need to be validated

I feel like I'm starting to realize what makes "soul"
I've heard alot of you guys say stuff like "soul is a magic word, undefined" but I think I can attempt to identify it.
My current guess is I feel like it's about the human aspect to this cold, artificial, industrial machine known as a computer
Generally the less you hang around human things the less joy you feel, the more depressed you become in other words.
Hence it makes sense that only something human can bring joy.
How did we achieve humanity inside of the computer? I think it might have to do with a kind of hand-made, geniune work being done on it.
I could be wrong, who knows, I might be stating the obvious also. Ur thoughts?

>>530807905
meds. now.

530807606
No

>>530807905
Soul can be defined if you understand art fundamentals.

Sovl is mostly an expression of well, the sovl of the artist trying to express something.

But to have proper sovl you're required to do a contradiction, to be skilled and unskilled at the same time.

To maximize soul, your work must have all the knowledge of a master, but your work should also feel like it's done by a kid, without skills.

If you can understand how to do that, you will gain sophia and make sovl.

>>530803176
>>530803480
looks neat, you are going places

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RP_btr6UrY8

is he right about the engine?

>>530808312
>but your work should also feel like it's done by a kid, without skills
Actually, I would say you can be as skilled as you want, your skill doesn't "need to be" anything, it actually "needs to not be" something, which is, it needs to not feel like it's made by a machine.
Some highly skilled people feel like machines because of how "perfect" they are.
Anyway also I just need to say, trying to "maximize soul" is the wrong way to work. I'd say the best thing to do is not think about soul at all, just do your work as best as you can.

that's an issue of technique.

the more technique, the less it look like it was made by an amateur.
Because technique is just a tool.
An extremelly important tool.
But technique is just the hammer and scissor you use to give shape to your idea.

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

Listen to bach air on g string.
Again, soul can only be archieved by the real sovl of an artist tormented by something.
Sovl is born from a sovl purified by a lifetime of suffering, that hasn't lost the small inner candle he had as a child.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlprozGcs80

Soul is just the result of getting closer to God.

As such, maximizing sovl is how I describe getting closer to what boils down to love.

Sovl is born from love.
To other living beings, to another person, to your girlfriend, to your family, to your nation, to humanity, to a creation of qualia, to personal ideas.

You're asking the correct questions, but I am afraid you're not aware of all the shit you need to learn before you can answer what is soul.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UXQPwt0ejE

Soul is the only thing we have left after our friends and family have been burned and buried in Stalingrad and we see the horrors of war.

Soul is the only thing we have when we have been defeated so many times people keep telling you to give up.

>>530803176
nice, another one of my ideas stolen by a better dev

Kind of sucks having no idea how my game is performing for half a month, I can track demo plays/downloads and extrapolate but not sure how directly correlated that is

How to avoid this?
I want to actually just like make a money, too, if possible.

It's so over. I have absolutely no hope anymore. Everything I do always sucks both in idea and execution. I can't even get started on anything anymore because every idea I come up with sucks and I know It'll be bad like everything else

you're doing the most basic mistake of seeing the process as a seller, when you should ask questions more from the point of view of a customer.

Ask instead what makes a guy opening on steam, ask yourself, what would make you go and buy a random game from steam?

>>530811608
>Indiedev too dumb to make an LLC
lmao

>>530810662
Cris I feel like you might be looking in the wrong way actually. I think soul simply ultimately boils down to the element of humanity. What you all described, "getting closer to God", "born from love", "after war and horrors", that is humanity.
By the way this is unrelated but what do you think of Jungian psychology and theory. I'm curious because it could be useful to game design.

listen you either have it or you dont or youre born a nepobaby, simple as

>>530812021
that's another way to put it.

art is just a mirror of humanity.

I think all that jungian stuff, like the ego, the shadow, the superego, the human archetypes.
Are nice to learn.

But the real teacher is to learn real mythology and history.
That's when everything just clicks and you understand what lies behind our lives, more than learning about theory shit.

You're right, but atleast Jung layed it out nice and clear as a theory. I bet he studied history and cultures and mythology aswell to figure out human psychology and nature.

but that's like reading books of music theory without never listening music.

Something is missing if you never study the source.

What I want to make is an anime story where two twins, that are a classic blue and red oni, goes to a farm, and then are caught in a war, which is just a classic fantasy story where a heroe, which is just an antropomorfic bunny, engages in a story to go and fights versus armies of monsters and villains, which are other farm animals, who are actually dangerous to this bunny MC, but harmless to the twin sisters. Eventually there will be other minor farm animals giving contradictory opinions about this war, since I want to be 4 diferent stories done by 4 separated tertiary characters that happens to be the MC of their own stories, but are the narrators to the MC twins of what the MC bunny is doing.

>>530811064
how do you go from 140 wishlists in a single day to getting 0 every day for like 3 weeks? you must have been botting or something and steam caught you lol

>>530815305
I got a 1500% bump when someone popular retweeted my post.
And by that I mean I average 1 wishlist a day but suddenly got 15.

steam turned off wishlist reporting because of the steam sale, hopefully it turns back on today

>Can draw pixel art

Not sure if it's because I'm unfamiliar with the stylus and tablet but for whatever reason I can make significantly better pixel art.
Are there any AI/upscaling tools that will let me turn my pixel art into 'illustration' or vector looking art?

the answer to 99% of the questions in here is just : ask grok

>>530815959
If you answer anything besides "I am excited to see this game" then
>You don't actually want to play the game you're designing
>You're releasing into a saturated market, where you don't care about playing yet another game in that market
whereas if you're happy that someone released the game, it means
>You actually know what the appeal of your game is
>There is an under-served audience waiting for games like yours to release who will also be excited and support you

I fell into this same trap at first. My early projects were just trying to find what I was good at. The moment I started my most successful project I knew from the start it'd work out because I noticed there was no real competition, just a lot of people starving for content.
My game started as a list of suggestions I gave to another developer because I wanted that sort of content but the developer wasn't doing it and I realized that it'd never get made unless I did it myself.

If someone made my game, it'd be great. Instead of wasting years to make a dream come true someone else would've put in all that effort for me. You should want the game to be made.

>"noo guys it's not that my game sucks and no wants it so no one wishlists it, actually theres a global conspiracy with steam to pause all wishlist reporting guys seriously just try me brooo"

We need an Arab spring type event from gamedevs if anything is gonna change, we're getting destroyed by valve. Even if you're successful losing a third of your income BEFORE TAXES means that you'll be back to the rat race soon enough, it's also why so many indie games are just copies of what is successful, we devs don't have the leeway to experiment because we barely scrap by. All this to give gaben billions while the consoomer claps, death to valve, death to gaben.

>>530817083
just release on epic store, I heard they have better rates

>>530817083
You need to do proper accounting to average out your income and live somewhere cheap. You can gamedev from anywhere at any time and you can gamedev even when laws would prevent you from working normally (weekends, holidays).

You are living in the middle of nowhere and working 7 days a week 365 days a year, right?

How come more games don't seem to have RE-style Tetris inventory systems?
Is it patented or something? I'm genuinely trying to think of another game but at most I see "list with weight limit"

>>530817797
my friendly neighborhood

>>530817797
do some basic research there are multiple indie games that use it, biggest of which is backpack battles

>>530817465
>valve has a monopoly on the pc market
no it doesn't
just because most developers decide to use their service does not mean it has a monopoly
monopoly implies the existence of a singular entity that provides said service, which in Steam's case does not happen
there are plenty of other providers like gog, itch, epic store, ubi launcher, ea launcher, battlenet, etc.
what they lack is customers, which Steam has plenty because for a long time it was the only service provider

anyway, don't @ me any further mr Shillajeet

>>530817797
Because it doesn't add to the gameplay of most games.

>>530816591

>>530817083
take your games off steam.
having done this myself steam hates it they drag their feet like crazy when you put in the request to have your games removed

...and as far as "user" effects, only the rats who bought the game but never downloaded it (steam bargain bin collectors) have a big problem with it, everyone who actually wants to play your game wouldn't typically notice you left because they still have the game on their harddrive and when they do finally notice it's a good reminder to them that steam is just a rental store, they own nothing in that library.

Indians have never been into game development, at all. Historically they haven't had the hardware to play games in the first place so there just isn't a big gaming culture over there. You'll see them if you play online chess but that's about it. Game development is one of the few creative hobbies where nearly none of the ESLcoded posts are sirs.

Hmm, basically it has to do with dopamine receptor regulations. Jacking off releases high amount of dopamine, so does any other activity that you enjoy very much.

Maybe hypnotize yourself by doing the things you enjoy WHILE devving? Like smoking if you smoke, or expensive snacks while working. That way, in times, your brain will be wired to release dopamine while devving

If anyone here is looking for a devship, tell about your game or what game you'd like to make, what skills you have, the type of commitment to each other that would be ideal for you, etc

I want to make a rpg but like with League of Legends style combat is this possible?

>>530811158
Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.
About 700 games in the week around your release.
AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.
Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)

Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."

Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.

>What I want to make is an anime story where two twins, that are a classic blue and red oni, goes to a farm, and then are caught in a war, which is just a classic fantasy story where a heroe, which is just an antropomorfic bunny, engages in a story to go and fights versus armies of monsters and villains, which are other farm animals, who are actually dangerous to this bunny MC, but harmless to the twin sisters. Eventually there will be other minor farm animals giving contradictory opinions about this war, since I want to be 4 diferent stories done by 4 separated tertiary characters that happens to be the MC of their own stories, but are the narrators to the MC twins of what the MC bunny is doing.

>>530826973
There are many games here that are not hypersexualized (see my own game, Dreams of Joy Departed, Six Ways to Seven, Blurb, Kyubu Kyubu Dice, etc.), but you have to consider the demographic here. Most of the people here are either degenerate, cum-for-brains, weeaboo freaks who should not be allowed near school zones nor public playgrounds or people whose mentally retardation is medically recognized. Consequently, they would much rather shit up the thread talking about their hideous fetishes that they baked into their games, or more realistically talk about how some nodev shares the same fetish they do, than discuss games with actual promise.
It's a shame what readily accessible pornography did to this damn world.

Just testing an asset pipeline for my engine, shit takes a lot of time
Right now its just base modeling-> zbrush->texturing ->final mesh detailing->hair gen ->baking and packing maps -> rigging & animation-> into engine
Am thinking if it would be easier to just render the curves although polycount is not so bad around 9K quads for that kind of hair mesh which should be the extreme case
I swear organizing stuff 100x more difficult than writing an engine

>>530830125
nigga, how do you think most musicians learned music composition as kids?

They just composed and composed music until it stopped being shit.

Most of the time they learned by simply imitating their idols.

I can explain you that C F G am are the fundamentals chords of the Ionian mode, and they form a I IV V vi chord structure, which is the fundamental block of most pop songs.
I can tell you that changing the F to D will make your song go from Ionian mode to mixolydian which causes the song to become brighter because now the root is G.

But what's the point of me explaining something that can only trully be experienced by just listening the chords and seeing what happens if I write some notes using those chords.

I can't trully explain the diference between a chord progression using the lower left of the circle of fifthts versus the bottom right and the upper right of the circle.

But that would be like explaining what is the color red or the color blue to someone that has never seen colors.

You cant explain why going from A to G sounds good.
You have to simply listen a lot that shit and just spent months putting random notes on your midi piano roll to "see" music.

damn, im envious of your art skills

Which will make money faster? a small full game and sell it or a free small demo of the big game i want to make and ask for donations? only need 1-1.5k

everything dies and kills in one hit. tougher enemies have increasingly bullshit abilities that make them harder to kill/survive, like having to do a 360 on your bmx before shooting them, or only being vulnerable on fridays.

also this but unironically but for a strategy game but i don't know how to do bosses in a satisfying way. it feels like a copout to give them a health pool and i think it'd be really unsatisfying if the condition to kill them was so specific you couldn't do anything to them for most of the fight.

That author doesn't get it. Yes, if you're on a team, you should only focus on how to actually build the damn plane and leave the customer experience on the plane to some higher up. But if you're solo, figuring out the customer experience on the plane is part of your job too.

Idea guys are more important and valuable than game designers on agdg for this reason. Pretty much everyone here is an engineer or designer that can build whatever plane they are tasked to build. The problem has always been that almost no one here has any idea of what kind of plane is actually worth building.

reminder that people used to spend $60 to play something like this. there was no way of knowing how it played by looking it up on youtube either so it was a gamble every time you bought a game.

I'm so confused where all this anti-Steam psyop stuff is suddenly coming from or what changed to incite it.

>>530837846
Steam is one of the few big platforms that haven't been co-opted or even let the ptb have a seat at their table. Valve is very, very defensive on who they let onto their Board.

>>530837846
people are angry because steam allows slop and they want ONLY good games on their platforms because they're brain dead retards as to see what that leads to.

>>530837846
>anti-Steam psyop
you enjoy forking 30% to steam when you still have to make the game and market it? if steam hard organic traffic then you could argue that it's worth it but in the saturated market where you have to bring people to steam it's insane to defend it as a dev
you dont care because you aint a dev, you dont know how shitty it is to deal with steam insane cut + self employment taxes

>>530837846
ah yes the "anti-steam psyop" says the SEA in an engagement farm for 2cents a post

>>530838407
>you enjoy forking 30% to steam when you still have to make the game and market it?
No, but you're always paying some sort of fee or cut if you're selling on a platform. You either build your own systems to connect directly with customers or you find a competing platform. I'd welcome some other platform coming in with a lower cut and humbling Valve, but so far that just hasn't happened yet.

>>530835867
Actually back then I just pirated every single game

>I'd welcome some other platform coming in with a lower cut and humbling Valve, but so far that just hasn't happened ye
Literally Epic Games Store, but nobody buys games from there.

>>530839063
Yes, some sort of fee. Not the astronomical, monopoly abusing, 30%

You just know a psychologist made the wishlist system, it's similar to google's recaptcha making people work for them while pretending they're helping.
You're LITERALLY helping steam with user acquisition and retention by begging for wishlists on your social media posts, that's insane.

Epic is not even trying to be a competitor. Their platform fucking sucks to use, every page takes a minute to load, there's no user reviews, there's absolutely no incentive to even use epic other than to grab the free games and play fortnite or to use unreal engine. The only real competitor is GOG but the anti-drm thing scares the hoes.

That anon was clearly responding to the retarded nodev kind of ideaguy. They should be shamed into shutting up and leaving. /agdg/ does not need ideaguys. Ideas don't exist in a vacuum. They require the context of the developer or team implementing them.

Yeah, that definitely isn't true. Games get funded with a shit ton of money prior to even having a game to show for it. You're welcome to keep living in your bubble, though.

Why do OpenGL tutorials want me to download other apps/libraries like CMake, GLFW, etc;?
What is actually included with OpenGL?

>A monopoly is characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce a particular thing, a lack of viable substitute goods, and the possibility of a high monopoly price well above the seller's marginal cost that leads to a high monopoly profit.
>a lack of viable substitute goods
Key word being viable. You can sell your games on other stores but that doesn't mean you will make money. As a PC game dev your game has to be on Steam. Even EA and Ubisoft gave in to that. Yes, there might be a couple exceptions but those are exceptions. Good fucking luck making your game the exception. It is hard enough trying to succeed in Steam.

Also
>In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power, that is, the power to charge overly high prices

Steam might not be considered a monopoly from the customer's perspective but it is absolutely one from the developer's perspective.

Let's face it. Steam has so many comfy things.

Acheevos
A library with collection.

>>530839401
Lets say you host your own shop, and provide a download link to the game.
How much would it cost to cover the bandwith and ddos protection for your shop? Now lets say your game becomes extremely popular, are you confident your own hosting solution will provide adequate download speeds and security for your customers?
How will you handle refunds? Who's going to answer all the support tickets? These things cost money.

All this trouble becoming a structural engineer just so I can put a hole in the roof that makes sense.

Sometimes I think I should hop to a downscoped side project.

>>530843335
Tell Timmy to make the Epic Games Store not completely horrendous and UNUSABLE. They keep throwing money at it but I'm not really sure where that money actually goes because it's barely functional. The incompetency of opposing platforms does not make Steam a monopoly. This is purely a service issue to the users. GOG is the only other competent platform but companies don't like it because they have to remove their precious DRM. GOG is a great competitor to Steam; companies just don't like it.

CMake is for helping with the building process, both of your own code and of libraries you compile from source. It's likely the tutorials you're using want you to use third party libraries so they recommend using CMake so it's easier to integrate them into your code.
OpenGL lets you draw triangles and stuff using the GPU
But to draw with OpenGL you first need to create an OpenGL context somehow, one of the ways is using a library like SDL or GLFW to create one for you so you don't have to do it yourself. Since the tutorials want to teach you OpenGL rather than teaching you how to use the Windows API/X11/HTML5 to create a context they recommend that you use a library that helps with that part so you can get right to using OpenGL to draw things.
Other libraries that will probably be used would be libraries to read file formats like 3D models and images like PNG or JPG because you probably also want to get right to working with OpenGL to display graphics rather than messing with reading and decoding image files to a format that OpenGL understands

Hello everyone. Producer-anon here to offer advice on your game development questions. My expertise is in the production and direction of projects, with skills as a generalist across various different components of development. I will not share what projects I have worked on as a matter of privacy, but wish to support you on your development journey.

I am here to help you navigate the things that are causing obstacles or delays with your games. Please feel free to ask your development related questions or share your challenges. Other anons are also encouraged to help answer.

>>530846495
i think being neet is a greater handicap desu because you lack urgency. wagies desperately want to escape the rat race so they're really set on releasing a game despite it being medicore.

>>530846667
earthbound isn't even very good. there I said it. someone needed to say it.

>>530846761
Surely the fear of the money running out before the game is done motivates the neet? As a wagie I know I can survive schedule slips due to my paycheck.

>>530846972
Neets are neets because they have some kind of income that lets them sustain themselves perpetually.

>>530847205
The only urgency neets really have is to not be a labeled a NEET by a certain age.

Ok, I'll get right to it.

anyone else going to publish under an Umbrella Studio and then have different Developer labels for tonally different games?

Right now I have a Developer Label for whacky quirktown likes and another one for grittier PSX likes..

I have been posting in the Amateur Steam Development General (ASDG) mostly just giving thanks & singing praise to Steam for being so generous and running their platform + business because it is such an asset to people around the world. Usually I am first to respond to the Say 3 Nice Things About Steam poster by responding with 1) kindness 2) generosity 3) benevolence.
It's been really good for my development as well since there is little debate or hostility in the thread - mostly we just work out hymns to sing the praise of a platform that we seldom deserve.
But after four weeks of posting there and becoming a pretty prolific anon for my title in development "Downloading And Appreciating Steam Simulator", I've noticed that Valve is taking one out of every three (You)s from my posts as a fee for posting on their platforms general. That's one of three (You)s gross, prior to deductions from shitposters and green texters whos low effort responses go to the jannies.
This is absolutely unacceptable, what the fuck is wrong with that general? Why would ANYONE knowingly post there at the cost of more than a third of your (You)s? I'm not posting for fucking charity, it's for engagement, I expect to get a return here. Not to mention just to be permitted to post there I had to invest a small sum by responding one (You) to the OP.
Un fucking believable that they would rip off independent /vg/ posters like this. How is this general allowed to stay up?

I don't mean playing videogames.

I mean going outside as a 1980 kid in a white suburbia town, meanwhile you get enough allowance to earn some coins to go to the local arcade mall, or rent a blockbuster, or buy an anime magazine with sailor moon, Dragon ball and mazinger news, right when Akira is airing meanwhile you get a brick game with 1999 clones of tetris and you play a crappy water ring console and play some fish minigame in a fishing toy that uses a gear to power it.

Meanwhile euro trances and robert miles children sound in the background.

A world that not longer exist and will never be experienced by zoomers.

I know I said this last thread but I find it odd how programming, the thing I've put the most time into learning, is something I just suck at compared to stuff that I've put comparatively less time in with next to zero formal education on the subject like art, writing, and modeling.
I've been trying to learn programming on and off for around 10 fucking years now but I haven't made any progress compared to my art or modeling

a fucking mod called garry's mod has 1 million reviews

>>530842306
i use them too, they're pretty much useless because steam is a monopoly, now answer why you're defending a billions dollar company that steals 30% of our income?

>>530848663
Arcade Paradise exists. Maybe not to the exact degree as you describe but it's in the same vein.

>>530848997
Because they provide me a platform, and a decent algorithm that allows indies to thrive in environment dominated by AAA and AA games. 30% ain't shit for that.

>>530848807
Garry's Mod is a blackpill. JBMod was the original but it has mostly negative reviews on steam because everyone thinks of it as a gmod ripoff.
Gmod is like Oreo and JBMod is like Hydrox.

>>530848663
I was born in the early 90s yet know exactly the experiences you just described. I miss those simple times, those simple toys, the thrill of a Blockbuster rental, and all the rest. It was so wonderful to have tactile things in your hands, and it's an experience that is less common for today's kids.

Yesterday I brought up how Dr. Seuss seems to have fallen out of fashion, despite how big it used to be with kids. I'll watch 80s and 70s shows sometimes and enjoy them thoroughly.

To your point, I think the "simulator" you're describing sounds like that pogs game.

>>530848716
post your art, you're better off finding a programmer

>>530846747
Hey P-kun. Welcome back. I wonder if you have any insights about how to make an online collaboration work for a larger project. I've been able to organize random internet strangers into shipping some smaller game jam games, but every time I try to organize a longer term project, we can't seem to get past pre-production work.

>>530845129
I didn’t play and of these

>>530849258
no they don't, feel free to release a 0 wishlist game and rely entirely on the steam algorithm with 0 youtube video or social media posts and see how well you do, larper nodev

>>530849523
pretty sure if you make a mother clone but more as a normal day to life simulator of what I mentioned, using some calendar system of games like animal crossing.

You will make money, because I don't see a game that scratch that itch of simulating the 70-90s.

>>530849890
I'm comparing it to other sites such as GOG and Epic which yield 1000% worse results than steam. Steam is alright. Won't post proof of GOG anymore, can post epic n steam commie bitch.

>>530846747
>>530850079
actually I do have a serious question

For someone in charge of the production of a game, is it actually important to have experience making your own games and having a wide array of skills? Or do people often end up in charge just because they have good leadership skills and they delegate it to other people?
Essentially, how valuable do you think it is to be a generalist or is general leadership and management more important at a larger scale?

Fucking around with the new Howitzer weapon i added last week. That and showing off the autogun. I've been tinkering with it and the idea of making powerful weapons have a limited vertical travel arc as a form of balance is pretty good because it forces the player to go airborne and manouvre if they want to hit targets that are above them.

>>530850154
how did you even find this

>>530850215
Here's your algorithm bro

>>530850071
dont move the goalposts i dont give a damn how dogshit the other platforms are, the steam algorithm is not the main drive for sales its external marketing that YOU, the dev or publisher, have to deal with
steam's cut in 2025 should be 10% for hosting and im being generous, tranny

Yea, you gotta do some work, big fucking deal, 30% is fair for what they're providing.

>steam's cut in 2025 should be 10% for hosting and im being generous, tranny
Build a platform and take 10% bitch, nobody prevents you from doing so.

Ain't a monopoly, it's a platform that provides the best service, you can also publish on gog, epic and your own website.

>>530850670
>reading comprehension issue
No, that would be you. A decent algorithm does not imply that if you cold launch a game on Steam that it should do all the heavy lifting similar to how traditional marketing works. If that is not what you were implying then you speak VERY poorly. I asked grok and it said you're a faggot.

>>530850886
im doing all the work and giving gaben 30% to buy more yacht because............. UMMM JUST BECAUSE OK?
>>530851223
saar you dont need the marketing just make brahmin coded game and give it to the gaben algorithm, thats why we pay him the 30%

Shield enemy. I like the idea of it, forcing the player into walls or air time to take them out. Optionally you can overwhelm the shields with explosives but it's not really worth it.
Any ideas for enemies that force the player to move around more? I thought of a bwomp esque drone that sticks in the ground but the player is so mobile that the radius of it would have to be gigantic.

>>530851741
You haven't built the platform
You ain't hosting files
You're not actively proposing it to players
You're not worrying about CDNs and distribution
You don't have to pay ongoing fee

Troons and commies are the ones malding about healthy capitalist success of steam. They can't fucking stand when white guys do something right and get paid for it. ZA/UM devs are the ones calling for revolution and faggots like you join em

there's no point in doing work because work is not rewarded. everyone is a disgusting nigger jew that takes my effort and gives nothing in return. i spent my entire life up until i was an adult being used and abused by everyone because i was too nice and tried pleasing everyone and making them like me because I was all alone and all i got was pain in return. the whole universe is against me. every single being including God deserves death, I will never forgive any of you and I will never give any of you anything ever again. any work I do will be for myself and if you disgusting insects want to experience it you will pay out the nose.

>>530855091
Make a game about not knowing what to make your game about

I think I should separate my story with a framing overworld inspired by kikki movie no conflict storytelling and an inner story with suffering and death.

Devs who keep posting despite getting no (you)s or just hate inspire me. Like everyone is telling them they’re going to fail, and they just keep going. Mad men

>>530855305

See:

>>530854347

Basically I wanna know how do I market my finished product?

>>530856124
What about those of us who already failed but keep going?

>>530856124
There's a big difference between those two. Indifference = NGMI, but any publicity is good publicity.

>>530856280
Well the devs I mentioned have infinite EV because they haven’t finished yet. They are not failures. However if you have tried and failed, then you are a failure, and you suck.

>>530856124
its just that these games arent impressive anymore

"Royal Jest" on steam

Finally got the steam store page set up. If you're into theatre aesthetics and stupid humor it's for you.

>Royal Jest" on steam
Don't think I've seen it once here

My mistake was trying to elevate the artform.

a fantasy rpg imsim about an ancient people (based loosely on Gaelic Irish) being forced to band together with an arrogant and hateful race (based on the Brits), to fight off hordes of uncivilized brutes/orcs (based on uhhh) who's arrival is orchestrated and planned by scheming religious cultists (based on uhhhhh) who infiltrated every aspect of government

>>530847945
Yeah. I started off as an artist, but ended up enjoying game design much more. It's a fun challenge to try to make an enjoyable game with the fewest assets possible. You learn a lot about what you enjoy in games by doing this.

Did you really? In the first place, a talented illustrator doesn't use the blanket term "art" to describe the act of illustration. That's what people who can't really draw do. Post your "art," I would love to see it.

>>530857675
ive been trying to do this for a while now and it gets old. at some point you wish you had the skill to just make a game with whatever you want as opposed to what you can afford.

>>530845271
where's your game?

The illustration field hasn't had enough gatekeeping. So now you have all these untalented twitter slops running around referring to their fake-fan illustrations for clout as "art." Disgusting.

>>530857912
You don't have a game and you are a nodev. I win.

>>530858092
nooooo you can't say anything mean about toddler doodles made by grown ass adult men. that's CRABBING

The field of game development hasn't had enough gatekeeping.

>>530801846 (OP)
hello
I was planning to start using Godot to learn (because of how "easy and fast" it is, or so I read people here say so) how to develop but there are some doubts...
Reading about godot, the first thing that appeared was that it "was woke", and there was some american political stuff (I'm not sure if the woke is left or right or republican or whatever) and a lot of people got banned from their social media so...
are there any development restrictions with this engine?
Like "if you make a game with a theme against our points of view, you'll lose the privilege to use this engine" or something?
I'm not versed in the american politics stuff (I'm not american, and we have our own issues here), and I want to know before I try to pick that one.

>>530858881
>are there any dev restrictions with this engine
Not really.

Just watch out for this part:
>and a lot of people got banned from their social media so...
Since the documentation is lacking, you'll eventually find yourself having to join the official godot pisscord server, so play nice with them and walk on eggshells.

>>530858881
>are there any development restrictions with this engine?
None. It's free as in freedom.

>>530858881
>>530859087
Also Godot is open source, so you can do whatever you want with it including fork it into a nazi chud engine that goes against the ideology of the average godot contributor if you really wanted to.

>>530859283
>fork
oh... my knowledge is really limitated on that, here's another question.
do they do some frequent updates?
would those suddenly affect my game development?
like for example, I have this project, and then suddenly "an update comes" and suddenly I can't use some resource because it "became deprecated due X vulnerability" ?
I'm not sure how the updates are managed here.

>>530850458
the reason there aren't more 1000+ review games is because the yearly amount of quality games hasn't gone up

slop % in 2016 would've been like 60%
slop % in 2024 is like 95%
slop isn't competition

>>530859694
If fork is beyond your knowledge then just forget it, because even that is not necessary with the generously permissive license of Godot.

Regarding updates, I don't know why you guys update your tools so often mid-project. It's industry standard to not update game engines or other tools in the middle of a project because it usually will cause breakage eventually. You update before starting a new project, like spring cleaning, starting a new season, opening the window and getting some new air in there.

>>530858261
>t. nodev

>>530859923
so... there's no "if you don't add this update, you won't be able to use Y service anymore because Z things changed"?
I'm not sure if you later may need to "migrate to a more updated version due X changes", but I hope I'm just being paranoid about this stuff.

>>530860120
I've been found out.

>>530850458
>>530859908
Thats pretty reasuring, 400 every year. It means the amount of work needed is still the same so you're only competing with 400 other devs who are putting the same amount of work you are.
Unless you're a slopdev

>>530860346
Nope. It will continue to work on your machine the same way as it works now. The only catch here is if you install a Windows update that causes compatibility issues with the old Godot version, and the Godot devs have to push an update to be compatible with the new Windows update. I have no idea how common this is though. I have never seen this actually happen with a game engine unless we're talking about going from Windows XP to Windows 11.

>>530860546
well, that's kind of what I was thinking might happen, but I hope it's pretty rare to do so.
Thank you again.

>>530854016
wow, this is going places

I am startled by the utter awesomeness of the side project Godot sims-like idea I just made.

>>530860703
Here's some perspective that might help you: I have a project that I started in 2019 and finished in 2021. I used the same Unity 2019 version throughout the entire project. This year, 2025, I'm on a new computer and a new version of Windows. I wanted to play with the old project again, so I went and downloaded the old 2019 Unity engine. It still works exactly as it did in 2019. On the other hand, mid project I did try upgrading the engine to the 2021 version and it caused some breakage that I couldn't be bothered to fix. So I rolled back to the 2019 version.

I love it when people in gamedev circles post an idea and act like it's groundbreaking even though its something hundreds of thousands of people have thought before

I love it when people in game dev circles exclude me and ostracize me. I have a humiliation fetish.

30+ devs, how y'all holding up?

>>530861230
yea and the reason why no one pursued it is because the idea is shit

>>530860519
if youre reasured replying to a nodev valve pajeet but not panicking because of the steam /agdg/ release list then idk what to say
stay delusional xis, im sure that every year exactly 400 games make it and it has nothing to do with a limit by steam

>>530850458
>>530850982
There's a few other things to consider
>10% of the 400 are porn games so only 360 real games (no your VN with nudie pictures is not a real game) are reaching 1k reviews
>Players are more likely to leave reviews now than they were in 2016 meaning its not only less likely to reach 1k but reaching 1k also means less sales than it did a decade ago

Stop wasting your time on gamedev and go do something you actually enjoy. You never actually wanted to make games, you just fell into because some eceleb influencer told you that being a gamedev was cool.

People say “just hire programmer” but what kind programmer you can hire for cheap? At least for musicians and artists there are enough competent trying to put food on the table that you, with luck, can for reasonable hire. Any good programmer already works at non-gaming company and there are so many retarded people LARPing as programmers you’re almost guaranteed to hire a fraud

i dont care much about mechanics anymore and more about the world

I actually made 2 perfectly scoped and unique game ideas which could be built in Godot.

ive been trying to figure out how to rotate the camera to match gravity in unity, and ive gotten really close but theres a major issue.
when gravity changes, it fucks up the cameras rotation (for example, if gravity is up the controls get inverted)

cam.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(camRot*Vector3.forward,-Physics.gravity);

does anyone know how i could make it work? been stuck on this for days now

>>530865848

Programming.

Why do I say it is the easiest? Because there's an objective right answer to programming problems.

>>530861572
Wow he's literally me.

>>530866051
The control command to the player needs to also be rotated by the current rotation of the camera.

>>530866051
using UnityEngine;
using Cinemachine;

private CinemachineBrain brain;

{

{
// Assuming gravity points "down" relative to character
if (brain != null)
{
Vector3 gravityUp = -GravityManager.CurrentGravity.normalized;
Quaternion gravityRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, gravityUp);
brain.m_WorldUpOverride = gravityRotation * Vector3.up;
}
}
}

Movies and books don't have this problem. No one is like
>Yooo Terminator 2 is goofy ahh F blud fr fr I can't watch it bruh its too clunky
Silent movies I guess but that's like atari games where you're talking about seriously impactful technical limitations. Gamers will say 7th gen games need remakes because they're too outdated when they literally play exactly the same as modern games.
They're just dumb animals that need ecelebs to tell them what to play. Like teenage girls that need other people to tell them what music to listen to.

>>530866603
the issue with this is the player needs to still be looking at what they were looking at before instead of doing a 180 which is how i came to my conclusion where controls get fucked

>>530866517
its just the camera rotation thats getting fucked up, and rotating the camera by the camera will cause it to freak out
for example by what i mean when i say its fucked, i mean like if im on the ceiling and i move my mouse right, my guy looks left and its only worse if gravity is something weird like (1,1-1)

>>530867747
You need to translate the input derived rotation into the local space of the camera.

>>530867169
was she flipina

>>530867169
as a girl, what many incels don't realize is it only gets worse as time goes on. Women are naturally attracted to men who are attached, and men who are perpetually single? Well yeah totally opposite lol. Sucks for them but it's not gonna really change after their mid-20s most likely.

>>530868062
>as a girl
lol no you're not

>>530861572
I'm not having a kid by at least 45

>>530867947
i tried this already too, having the camera being local and letting the root transform do rotations also makes the camera do a 180 when gravity switches unless i figure out how to make Quaternion rot = Quaternion.LookRotation(camR1*Vector3.forward,-Physics.gravity) work since the root rotates like this too

has any singleplayer first person rpg made it feel as good to play a ranged build with guns as it does to play melee build, or is it better to pick either melee combat or guns and not implement the other

>>530868630
Darktide. Vermintides sort of but you can't really play 100% ranged in those.

All 3 are games where both feel pretty fucking good.

I am imagining the smell

>>530868329

I honestly would prefer a game like FFIV or FFV if there was a single big city with 200 characters to talk to, rather than 20 towns with the same copy pasted 10 npcs.

>>530857878
Maybe? I created low poly environments from my passion for their atmosphere. I don't know if you could call it "art" by any conventional definition, but I created them because I enjoyed the way looking at them made me feel. Does that count as art? I am by no means an illustrator. If illustration is the only form of art, then I'm not an artist. I still enjoy creating atmospheric environments.

>>530835867
Zoomies just don't know. When I was about 5 I was subjected to the infamous Atari E.T "game". When me and my little bro finally got a Nintendo 64 we also rented Superman 64.
The disappointment was palpable, even when you only spent a few bucks on a rental game coz you were left wondering how much fun you might have had with something else.
Now these fucking zoomers intentionally buy retarded, broken meme games for irony's sake.

I bought Talespin for the Sega Gamegear with my pocket money. It had cost 80 Deutsche Mark back then, I thin.
And, boy, was it bad. I think it was the worst game I had for the Gamegear.
It also was a time when you played a game to death. My first game for the Gamegear was Donald Duck and the Lucky Dime. I played it for weeks and I have no idea how many times I finished it. Unlike Talespin, I have very fond memories of that game.

>>530868913
I've always wondered about taking a game like Skyrim and scaling it down to a single city. Like King's Landing in GoT.
So you could have more depth instead of breadth

>>530869974
I'm in Development Heaven

>>530869974
Yes...

>>530869974

>>530870012
ok I'll elaborate.
Here's what I mean by Development Heaven.

I just scoped out the entire catalogue for both of my developer labels.

I have one developer label which focuses on Engine Dev mid to Large scope games.

Then another which has my small scale Godot Side projects or other small to mid scope games.

Basically, I've found the perfect balance. And things are amazing.

>>530869529
>227 and 855 reviews
how is that one-
>games are 25 dollars each
ah, theres the trick, appeal to paypigs

>>530869529
it doesnt even have online functionality btw

Need opinions on my game.
I had the idea of a grid based game like chess.
But both players have like 16 chess pawns that can move 1 tile in all directions.

The combat between pieces happens when they overlap by moving into the other.

But.
To win the fight between two pieces, you have a 9 round game of rock papers scissors, which the one with more victories take the oponent piece.

The victory is then to whoever has the last surviving tokens in the field.

>>530867747
When the gravity changes, you should project the player character's forward on the plane of the previous gravity onto the plane of the new gravity. That is your new forward setpoint. Let Cinemachine smooth the transition. (If you're not already using Cinemachine, you should be using it.)

Shit, I should make the MC play like king from chess with a checkers overlaping take movement.

But make the waifu enemy 16 enemy pieces, which are just 8 ortho and 8 diagonal pieces.
There will be 2 groups where one moves in one tile movement and another moves in 2 tiles.

Then the MC has a fighting game bar that allows to do a 4 tile super and charges when player moves 1 tile.

The waifu pieces will not 1KO the player, but does 1 HP damage, where they deal damage by just moving next to the MC king.

It surprises me, although it shouldn't, that people are willing to spend this much money on these games.

Back when I was single I'd half-joke about finding a girlfriend to make the "face" of my game to make it sell more, but now that I have someone, I realize that doing something like that would be like whoring her out.

bros, imagine if in my checkers waifu game, you have to play 12 games to fugg 12 * 16 waifu tokens, which are then used as the initial seed values to a procedural story generator, and in the end you get a basic novel that describe the game that you had in a .txt file.

cris man please read that out, you want people to play checkers 12 times before playing?

>>530873642
The combat is the chess games.

You're supposed to defeat 12 * 16 waifus.

But not sure if making a 100 * 100 board game is better than 12 games of 8x8 grids.

I have some ideas about how to implement my childhood warm fuzzy memories into a shameless pokemon rip off, but I guess I'd best wait until that Palworld lawsuit plays out first. If Nintendo are told they can't sue for throwing an object at a creature to capture it, I'll proceed full steam ahead. Otherwise, I might have to restart my capture mechanic to avoid wasting any more time.
Satoshi Tajiri created the most lucrative IP in human history just by harking back to his days of exploring nature and catching bugs, ditto Shiggy with his memories of exploring trees and caves when he came up with the first Legend of Zelda.

Just checked my commit history and this is one area that's close to 90% complete after 2 months of intermittent work, sacrificing the level of world building and care im able to put into level design for the sake of doing that faster would be lazy and retarded. This is a passion project after all

>>530871773

>>530875020

hello, video uploader.

>>530874719
Women like wizards and the idea of a wizard school. It doesn't need to actually be harry potter. (and it won't be because you'll never get the license anyway)

>>530875020
2 months for that is pretty fast actually, carry on then
procedural generation aint retarded and can be well done, i finetuned a biome system until i was satisfied and its kinda fun to code the patterns

>>530875232
in theory you could proc gen tiles that fit a room's collision but unless you spend more time tweaking your proc gen then it would just take to build rooms manually it will look soulless and shitty, and you're sacrificing world design and environmental storytelling in the process

>>530875440
I see.
I think that would be useful if you were making a huge open world game.

Honestly think demo day saved my game, without it I wouldn't caught an issue that would have really hurt my launch if I didn't.
So thanks!

>>530875598

>>530875665
Elden Ring reused the chalice dungeon system from Bloodborne for all their minidungeons which is why they're kind of crap.
But a lot of games use proc gen in ways you wouldn't expect.
Like the entirety of the city in the Spider Man ps4 games is procedurally generated in a massive Houdini PDG graph including placement of random missions, traffic data, etc.
Far Cry 5 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint procedurally generated massive portions of their map in Houdini.
Etc
Basically I'm saying learn Houdini if you want to make a massive game as a small team.

What have you been working on since then?

Sorry for delay in replies. I will answer now.

>>530849715
I am honored you remember me. Thank you.
The most important thing I have done to manage long-distance collaborations is having routine check-ins and meetings, just like you would with a regular organization in-person. Someone on the team must assume the leadership role and be prepared to wrangle the herd as needed. You will ultimately have to operate much like a boss who determines who can stay and who must go. It is unfortunate, but many people are simply not serious about things and you have to be ready to let them go. A good method is to test them with small assignments and see if they are compatible.

Incidentally, this entire skill and function within a team is often within the role of a manager, producer, or director.

>>530850079

In ANY field, it is very valuable to have a leader who also has at least a general understanding of what exactly their team members all do, and the most basic level of being able to step into the assembly line when things get tough to help them do them. The more wide your skills and experience are, the more readily you can provide solutions and fix problems with your team. This sort of flexibility is a boon to any team, and helps bridge the gap between departments.

>Do people often end up in charge just because ...
It's a mix of good decision making, delegation, time management, and in some cases nepotism or sycophancy. Having skills is helpful to make your team thrive more easily. Others often misjudge their own abilities. You mitigate risk.

Example: I have enough experience to know what can and cannot be done with limited resources (time included). I make executive decisions on what can be assigned within X timeframe, but things still can go wrong.

Recently in crunch, an artist was unable to meet deadline due to his own poor time management/discipline. He crashed after two days awake, and I took his unfinished work and started working on it myself hours before launch along with another teammate. Sadly, this impacted my ability to do critical checks elsewhere before something went live because I had finish to his job, which caused me to miss something I did not find until the next day after it was already shipped. Other work he was late with delayed my other tasks too. Ultimately, any failure falls on your shoulders as leader.

Other times, a programmer runs into a problem and shares it with me. I can't code much, but I understand programming logic enough to explain a solution to him that he can implement.

If your leader has this sort of cross-section of skills, he can fight on the front-lines with his troops. A generalist makes for a good general.

>producer who manages an entire team of artists, programmers, and musicians

How do I out-compete you as a solo dev?

should I pay marnix $50 to review my game?

I'm not sure where you are in the process of getting your game made. Is it already a game? Did you develop it already? I need more information. That being said, start by having:
>Screenshots
>Video if possible
>Description
>Capsule / Title Art

Rather than going on Steam right away, I suggest an Itch.io page first until you're ready to start collecting wishlists. You'll also need to pay Valve $100 to get your game listed.

>making your game look pretty for marketing is a lot of work.
That's why people hire marketers and artists for marketing specifically.
Repurpose your game assets as much as possible to save money on this.

>>530883540
Yes. This is a great approach if you are capable of getting it in clear writing and signed by all parties, so long as all parties are committed and equally engaged in the work. There must also be a clause that forfeits some portion of their share if they do not meet their obligations.

Ultimately, it is a trust exercise in many ways. It'll require parties to share legal names, addresses, etc. Be prepared for this.

Depends on what your competition is defined as. More output? More sales?
You can make a game totally solo and blow away AAA companies, so rethink your position a bit.

It's a cooling pad for stress relief / headache relief.

I've added the successful interception functionality. Also the UI updated as the block calculation subtracts from the pass power. There's a small animation that players after the blocker grabs the ball.
Next I have to fix a few bugs as the opposite team cannot pass for some reason. Afterwards it will be the 'tackle' move to add.

You forgot the water, bruddah.

>>530886234
were you inspired by Rematch?

>>530886587
more inspired by Blitzball >>530886547
But handball is a fun sport too.

kentaro miura must have been a homo to think of griffith sucking off old men in his story, thats the problem with me im too straight i wouldnt be able to think of that
this is why people find my lore dull

>Is it already a game? Did you develop it already? I need more information.
I'm in the process of developing. My goal is to have a page setup as soon as possible but I'm not sure what to focus on.
As an example, I've read that you need at least 3 environments for screenshots/trailers. That kind of stuff.

Found an interesting Vulkan error today

Note was added to the /gedg/ compendium because of how widespread I assume it is.

I really love ffx. Why do games lack such a sense of wonder now?

bing vertical slicing, dont bother making a page without a trailer its actually negatively impacting your steam ratings (not that it matters if you manage to get wishlist velocity at some point)
whatever you do dont listen to zukowski or marnix

>>530886234
>press 1 button
>12 seconds animation play
Anon no

>>530887141
You can't make a page without a trailer anymore.

The absolute state of steam.

straights just aren't very creative

>>530887334
Don't you need to pay 100 bucks for every game you add to the store?

>>530887334
30% well spent

>>530887494
Only matters if you make less than 100 bucks.

>>530887156
its a good point. A lot of the slowness is down to me because it helps debug stuff. I can speed up the ball's travel speed and some of the animations when I'm happy with how its working.

>>530887334
55 games.
That's $5500 on Steam fees for games that have like 10 followers each.
What the fuck?
