Why do you make your game? Pick from one of FOUR options!
1. Delusions of grandeur
2. Youre a faggot
3. Youre a gooner faggot
4. Youre a nerd (fag!)

Nice. Let's go. I'm feeling like shit today but a game has to be made!

This is going to sound retarded to anyone in the know but was all lighting in the PS2/Wii era "faked" with texture maps?
Like, there's no global light, or light nodes that change dynamically.

iirc SotC uses a stretched out transparent model of the main character that's darker to imitate cast shadows, I'd count that as fake too

Personally I think so but also that's what like 90% of games do and nobody really says anything. Some games do it with flair like Nier Automata making it an explicitly magitech thing which is neat.

What is it with indie devs and making this style of game

>>530909479

I have a theory that you guys might not want to hear, but tell me if you think it's bullshit.
I think there's an inherent difference between competent developers and incompetent developers.
An incompetent developer can grow into a competent developer, but they do it through self-introspection and thought, not by being taught by others.
A competent developer is one who is self-critical and scrutinizes every decision about his game, whereas with an incompetent dev, you'd need to point out to him big clear flaws with his game that he just can't see.
Competent devs have strong directions and goals, when you play their games, you'd have to nitpick very little, "rough edges" type stuff, but you can't criticize it much because they know what they're doing. They know their direction and you don't need to set them back on it, they can do it on their
I hope I described it enough for you to understand what kinds of developers I'm referring to. I'm not making anything up, I'm just trying to describe two types of devs I observed.

>>530906002
No. I noticed this not long ago but most AAA games still just have it float on the back and no one really questions it
Elden Ring/Nightreign do this, Monster Hunter Wilds is still doing it, BG3 did it, MGSV did it

>>530909891
Incompetent devs always come out on top. notice how you hear X devs are incompetent? and you check and the game has 1000s of reviews

>>530910535
How hard would it even have been to make a strap/sling for the rifles/bazookas in MGSV?
Surely this is feasible in the modern era.

Meaning, not being guided at every direction. You need to have your agency at some point, that's called having a "vision" for your work.

>>530909891
I mostly agree, but I see it more so as the difference between red and green goats. Incompetent green goats will eventually grow to be competent, but incompetent red goats are stuck until they first grow into a green goat. The tragic flaw that hold perma/beg/s back is hubris.

No I'm serious. It has lots of features that are nice to use, but it's super unopinionated so you'll still have to do alot of stuff on your own. But that's what I meant by that it's nice, it doesn't get in the way (unopinionated)

friendslop aren't games so much as they are virtual spaces where people can spend time with their friends. friends as a concept refers to people one enjoys spending their time with ergo time spent with them is always fun by default, otherwise they wouldn't be friends because friends are defined as people you enjoy spending your time with.

when friends are combined with games, or "games" as i like to call them, this leads friendslop players to associate positive feelings related to spending time with friends with the friendslop product itself, and this lends the product a halo which blinds friendslop players with low intelligence from their flaws.

friendslop games don't evoke emotions outside of sillyness. they're poorly produced but. friendslop horror games aren't scary, they're fun, which leads one to wonder why they would play a horror game that isn't scary. broken physics, bad graphics, characters warping through walls, and other jank of that ilk, that often lead to a squad wipe for sic
"bullshit reasons," that rightly should be considered production flaws and that the developers should be berated for, not lauded.

however, due to the friendslop players being influenced by the friendship phenomena, these flaws are considered funny moments that can be shared on social media for upvotes provoking viewers to post vulgar comments like "23:55 made me laugh so much I peed a little :joy:", sharing the product to their own friends leading to widespread virality and leading to untold riches for the product's owners that managed in no way to contribute to the advancement of the arts, forever to remain as idle pastime to be forgotten the following week after product consumption.

6 tips to come up with GOOD game ideas

>>530915921
>t. loser with zero friends

Any example of a game where the screen is absolutely covered with UI? Only OG System Shock came to mind. I like the aesthetic.

A 3x3 chunk radius is constantly loaded around the player with the player obviously always in the center chunk. Going from Door A to Door B is no problem at all because the chunks are already loaded. Going from Door 1 to Door 2 seems to be impossible. I've tried making Door 1 load up Door 2's chunk before you walk through it and, while it works, does not work going back the other way. Every method I've tried at best works in only 1 direction or at worst sends me into the void. Real head scratcher...

>>530884968
That sounds like it works for a smaller team. At larger scales I imagine you just get the contacts guy to call up a contract artist to finish it or assign someone.
So in that case it'd be less about how to do it and more about scope management, I bet you could learn that without learning all the individual skills, but learning the individual skills would help. I imagine those in charge of AA studios at least have a good concept of scope for each task.

>>530917439
Maybe instead of vscode you use emacs and instead of c++ you use a good programming language.

>>530917138
That's only because, assuming a normal distribution of intelligence, the odds that any random person you meet is of peer-level intelligence decreases the further from median you get. However, in the information era, it's really not that hard to find smart friends. There are roughly 10 million humans on this planet with over 145IQ after all. Sounds to me like you're just a retarded autist.

>only because
definitely not, more intelligent people, in general, have more personal hobbies and other things to do that than the average person that enjoys things like watching sunday sportsball games, adam sandler flicks on netflix, the flavor-of-the-month friendslop title their favorite internet person just played, and killing braincells with solvents at music venues with volumes exceeding 100db for extended amounts of time.

smart people, in general, prefer to spend their time with solitary hobbies such as painting, making model train dioramas in their basements, game development, reading foreign language novels, none of which require the presence of other people.

i might enjoy spending time with a good friend occasionally, but i most assuredly wouldn't play friendslop with them and in general don't consider myself lesser for having fewer friends than "popular" people.

>>530918334
You can still share your hobbies with friends. Friends don't need to spend every moment of their lives together. For my IRL friend group, video games has always been one of our biggest common hobbies since we met in college. It's rough now that most of us are busy with work and married in our 30s, but we can still find some time once a month to play a game like REPO together.

You are coping about being a loser with no friends. Empathy is one of the most important traits for a creative. You are NGMI without it.

>>530915921
yesterday me and the gang found an awful game. not hilariously awful, just a generally bad game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3aL3c9XNVo
they just sold their ip and made a fuckton of monyey

>>530918334
all of the hobbies you mentioned are just trying to capture a feeling that's half as good as what you would get by having fun with friends, and all of them are social

>>530918814
>Empathy is one of the most important traits for a creative. You are NGMI without it.

enjoying fun isn't a prerequisite for empathy. fun is the least worthy and valuable emotion. there's no acclaimed piece of literature about fun while there are a million about things like love, loss, revenge and so on.

that's why i prefer investing my time in stories that provide immersion in various situations, it is precisely for that reason that i despise co-op games. as an example, i'll give system shock 2. those of you who have played it know how thick it is in atmosphere. i recommended it to one of my friends at the time. he wanted to play it in co-op. in case you didn't know, for some god forsaken reason ss2 has a 1-4 player co-op mode. when i refused, as having fun on skype would ruin the atmosphere of an impeccable, immersive horror game for him, he never ended up playing it.

i can't respect people who enjoy fun.

I miss tomo

>>530919593
People who enjoy fun do not need your respect. Your respect is as worthless as you are.

>>530915921
Truthnuke
Especially considering that you can also play real games with friends. If people had any self respect they’d just do that. Friendslop is just the tiktok/youtube shorts of playing games with friends.
Although one part of it is that there’s not that many good multiplayer games out there.

>>530917903
Perhaps. But I can see some of the appeal of C e.g. when you need to work with your program's ABI your symbols don't get mangled by default like in C++

Modern languages like go, rust, zig, odin, or even C# don’t have the same sort of configuration hell that C++ has. You mostly just download a compiler and it works.

>it works

>>530920383
Almost nobody cares about or uses those languages. C++ has been used in thousands of high and low level projects for years. C# is the only one you listed that would even come close to getting you a job.

yeah I shouldnt have made a roguelike. Finding icons for upgrades, coming up with names, and what stats should be updated is boring as fuck. It is filtering me hard. Shame I found out once 80% of the game is done

>>530920159
do what? horror atmosphere in general? there are only three great horror games in existence. system shock 2 is one of them, and you should not sully it by playing with friends and having fun.

also that anecdote was coincidentally about a horror game. i've reiterated numerous times friendslop has no value because they are fun and they don't tell beautiful/sad/thoughtprovoking stories that make players feel complex emotions. games like what remains of edith finch are infinitely more valuable works of art seeing as friendslop isn't art at all, and they certainly require more empathy to appreciate than than friendactivities like watching sportsball while drinking beer and eating hotdogs.

I mean if you are working and making money, what good is making slop that will likely flop?

Plan out the smallest scope game you could possibly make. Then cut the scope in half again.
Don't think of it as making shovelware for a quick buck, but rather as making the base framework that will allow you to iterate and expand your original concept into ever increasing larger games.
See pic related. For many years I thought I should make the top, but only recently I realized that I should have done the bottom as a solo developer. Building a car from scratch takes too much time, it's better to start by selling bikes and build your car factory with the money earned along the way.

>>530924797

yeah now try raising money for your video game, that's right you can't nobody wants video games. And you're slouching there making it all by yourself for free

It's basically a shogi-style game, with a 4x4 palace and river like in xiangqi, where the king can summon 16 different types of pieces — up to 16 times each — so he has a "deck" of around 200 pieces to summon from. You get two actions per turn, which can be any combination: two summons, two moves, one move and one summon, or an attack and a summon, or a move and an attack.

The king can only summon pieces while inside the palace. If he's outside the palace, he can instead charge up a spell to kill an enemy piece that has crossed the central river.

However, each piece is actually a card from a TCG featuring anime isekai girls, each one inspired by one of 16 historical empires.

And last planet BG done.

What's the best way to give your buttons some sfx when hovering/clicking in Godot?
I can't seem to find anything within themes to add an audio file so I've just repeatedly coded it like this.

>>530929962
>using UnityEngine.AI
lol. do unity saars really do this? just "import AI" ?

>>530930573
Anyway, we have an audio manager singleton and a scene manager with transitions. The game now has music and buttons make clicky sounds which I'm happy about.

Next part will be making the options menu and then coding the cookies per second logic.

>>530930573
You need to define a custom function for adding your buttons. You'll need a callback function, call it "button_hovered" or "button_clicked"
This function should take as an argument, the button.
Now, you need to connect your buttons with a signal. It's as simple as button.connect("pressed/hovered/etc", self, "_button_pressed/hovered/etc, the callback function", [button])
Now you have a singular function that gets called whenever your buttons are pressed or hovered or whatever, and you can just check the button object being passed to it to find out which sound to play. You could use a lookup table, dictionary, something like that, to associate a button with its sound. If you want them all to play the same sound, then just do that. I hope you understand.

>>530930612
what else do you use?

I still feel beholden to this thread since I kinda named my game after it, even though my game's too big to post on Itch for Demo Day. Gave up on trying to port to Pixi.js. Currently using Daz Studio, Construct 3, and a render pipeline/asset manager I wrote myself in Python. If anyone wants to collab that'd be cool. My wife won't let me have Discord though.

>>530930612
that's just the parent class for navmesh. nothing to do with LLMs

>>530930884
Interesting.
I was thinking of using an enum with all the audio files within the audio manager at first but it went a bit over my head on how to use it so I scrapped it.

I think I understand what you mean.

>>530931065
>My wife won't let me have Discord though.

Should i stick to my fantasy netori VN or should i start my unity platformer project?

My game is akin to a parasite, latched upon me.

>>530931018
I understood it wrong. I thought it was a template for AI but I guess it's a module for AI tools. In Godot if you wanted a NavMeshAgent you just use the class, there are no imports.

>>530931065
That looks good.
A bit too many statues of that bitch though, is she the MC's waifu?

>>530931065
>Orblike with Daz models
Brutal. Why don't Orbposters ever make prerendered graphics like the only good Diablo games they are trying to capture the essence of?
Over and over we see iterations on the classic isometric games of the late 90s and early 2000s, but instead of using a deliberate & kino art style with palletized sprites and tilemaps we get 3d slop. Instead of snappy grid based gameplay we get move_and_slide() floaty slop.
This applies to RTS as well as orblikes, every single time someone tries to "improve" on them by sucking out the fundamental things that made them good.
It would unironically kill 3d fags and modern engine sloppers to concede that characters do not need to be able to turn and face a full 360 degree spectrum.
Even in top down shooters that previously had much of the difficulty and skill come from the fact that you can only aim in a few fixed directions, typically 8, but now every indie pixel shitter has a freely rotating gun that only has one mirrored sprite, making the entire gameplay loop about invincibility rolling and looking like absolute shit while doing do.
Do better, anon.

The real power you need in dev is the ability to just shut yo down mind off and relax.

>>530931678
>Why don't Orbposters ever make prerendered graphics like the only good Diablo games they are trying to capture the essence of?
nta but because i wanted to finish my game within my lifespan. its true that prerendered gfx are better but at the same time i can bang out a 3d model of an item in 15minutes and get it game ready in 5 because i'm at least somewhat familiar with 3D modeling. doing it with sprites would take forever and look worse unless i had a dedicated guy to handle that aspect

>>530932317
It's not as complicated as it seems.
The models are easier to bang out because they look better without a bunch of noisy details. You make your animations, and a script renders it all out. You use another script to make the sheets.
Then you play walk_N_sword_warrior when the warrior walks north with a sword

>>530931065

I think pure motives do not ensure success all by themselves. Skill is required, but even that is not enough. The hunter who searches for game in deserted areas can wait forever without firing a shot. Persistent searching in the wrong places will not be effective. Master the essential skills of your enterprise and position yourself wisely, and your efforts will not be in vain. Search for what you want in the right place and you may find it.

i would never buy a bicycle made by a car manufacturer.

how do I light my scene? I have no sky in my game and want my area to be lit. What do? It's all dark.
I tried adding fog but I only liked dark fog which doesn't help with lighting.
I tried a directional light but it only lights up the parts that are in it's "target", other sides of objects remain black.
I tried a gradiant sky, but all objects adopted the exact color of the white gradient in a strange way.

I'm at a total loss, I don't want to put a million real time lights into my scene, I'm on unity. What do?

*** BREAKING NEWS ***
have you heard of naps? specifically power naps also known as cat naps. as short as 10 minutes (but no longer than 20 minutes) is shown to have massive benefits for the kind of productivity you need as a gamedev. you can also combine the nap with caffeine taken before the nap for a double dose of wakefulness someone (probably a faggot redditor) named Nappuccino.
so I just dozed off after doing barely half an hour of gamedev and felt guilty but now it turns out it's a smart productivity hack.

That's the opposite of what women want, physical progression through work is what men want. If you told a woman that she is outright undesirable unless she fixes herself then it would be antithetical to her world view. A womans baseline perspective is that she is a desireable object and that all men want her, it's through this lens that you have to frame the manipulation. Suitors come up to her and she uses her desirability to get them to do her bidding, bonus points if the bidding involves fucking over another woman, especially if that woman is in a relationship with the man.

>>530938223
That's really weird and unintuitive, real is not fun. Make it a circle that grows with distance sure, but at the same time you need to somehow show the actual blast range which should also convey that it could land anywhere in the circle. Maybe instead of a circle use crosshairs that expand with distance and a flickering transparent orb to show blast radius.

the art isn't even very good and there isn't a lot of art. the "gameplay" is extremely simple rpg shit that's mind numbingly boring. yet both games still rake in around $30k per month for shitty little updates consisting of 2 new drawings. all you need is pander to degenerate fetishes and keep doing it for a while and you'll get dosh. if you are an actual artist and can make better art or a better game than these clowns who are at the top of the lists with arguably pretty bad games you should overtake the market fairly quickly

>>530939654
>pinpoint the distance to an inch
At max range only the vertical axis is small, not the horizontal one. Another thing: I don't take air resistance into account. It would change the projectile's trajectory by a lot and probably increase the vertical axis of the ellipse too. I have air resistance as a stretch goal but to be honest I don't think I'll ever get to it. I'm pretty happy with how the projectiles currently behave.

>>530946778
You probably steal your electricity from a street lamp though, here it's expensive

>>530946964
a fan merely helps transfer heat from your body to the air. it will actually heat up a room because its motor generates heat. an airconditioner will transfer heat outside the building. it's totally worth the investment.

>>530947027

>>530948439
I don't know what you're arguing. I'm telling you a fan will heat up a room even if it temporarily cools your body. an airconditioner will actually cool a room. it's the superior choice which is why hotel rooms and offices don't have fans.

they work for cooling your body by transferring heat to the room. the room is getting hotter while your fan is cooling you. and you're still leaving sweat stains wherever your body is making contact with surfaces.

>>530949869
open your windows you neanderthal, I have AC in my garage and a fan in my bedroom, bizarre gaslighting

Is there a game that takes the visualization of a /weg/ where you explore a world and levels like a /weg/, and keep waifu interaction like /weg/.

But makes the game have a calendar and hour system like Animal crossing.

But keep a town of girls npcs to meet like SIMS and Animal crossing.

>>530917708
The basis of socializing is talking because it's a cheap way to acquire life experience; the things most people share experience about are usually obvious. People who are smart and observant don't feel a need to point out the obvious because it feels like insulting someone's intelligence and if something is obvious then there is no need to talk about it. Ergo people who are smart usually don't have a need to talk because they can just figure out something on their own through passive observation and therefore don't have a need for friends. Another reason for socializing is to curry favor or to gague the consensus of the group, modern society makes it so that you don't need to do either of these things because you can pay a stranger for their labor.

>>530962042
Literally me.

>>530955580
Write the best short story you can in 200 words. It makes you consider every word you put on the page and how it's important to the overall story. Then expand that to 1 page, then 5 pages, and so on. It doesn't have to be the same story expanded, you can do something different each time. You could even shrink the scope to lower than 200 words to challenge yourself.
The point is to learn how to develop and progress a narrative in a meaningful way. The pitfall a lot of inexperienced writers fall into is just writing whatever pops into their head which creates a tangled mess of a plot that eventually become impossible to work with (at least in any coherent way).

>>530938881
wow, he's literally me

>>530961829
NTA, but IMO the main feature you want out of any editor is hot reloading and tuning of parameters while running the game (i.e. the inspector). It makes development so much faster than needing to rebuild and rerun as you tweak values.

The Godot editor is specifically is also a great IDE. Its autocompletes are context aware of the scene tree and project filesystem. It includes lots of nice gamedev specific IDE features that you wouldn't get when you need to use a generic IDE. Things like the inline-color picker.

>>530953259

>>530962984
I don't know much about Godot, it makes sense there cause it uses its own language, but for Bevy - you can't beat RustRover at features for Rust. And they're not gonna have a built-in IDE. You should rather make a RustRover plugin for Bevy-specific stuff if need be.
>hot-reloading
You can hot reload any asset already. Hot-reloading Rust code though in general is another tricky and complicated story, Dioxus (and its subsecond module which can get integrated with Bevy) can sort of do that, but very limited and shitty rn. An editor would not help there.
As for inspecting values at runtime with nice GUI - maybe, but an editor is overkill, there's plugins that do that for you and are nice, like bevy_egui_inspector

The problem with an editor is that it would need to serve everyone's use case, which is antithetical to Bevy's philosophy of being a highly modular engine. You're gonna have to wire your own solution of different crates together anyway - and I'd rather do that, than try to bend an opinionated and bloated editor into serving my specific use case.
Thanks for your input though

More indies should sell their IPs, according to Jonas Tyroller

>>530963935
Rust just isn't great for development speed, as it's designed for safety, not liveness. For gamedev, you really want access to fast iteration with some kind of scripting language such as Lua. I played around with this now-dead framework back in the early days of rust and haven't gone back since: https://github.com/amethyst/amethyst

Another great feature about the Godot editor is that it's super easy to create your own custom tooling or modify existing tooling to suit your needs. It's so easy that even Cris is able to do it. The Godot editor is created the same way as any Godot game, using the same UI components. Any editor plugin you download comes as source code, so you can instantly modify anything in it.

i need my camera to orient itself with gravity while still be looking at the same object it was before (i.e if im looking at a orb, i should still be looking at that same orb when gravity changes)
but im too retarded to figure it out, ive been trying for almost a week now and nothing ive done has worked.
i really need help bwos ;-;

this is my code and everything ive tried so far, if anyone knows what i can do or has any ideas to make it work please let me know

float deltaX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sens * Time.deltaTime;
float deltaY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * -sens * Time.deltaTime;
xrot += deltaX;
yrot += deltaY;
yrot = Mathf.Clamp(yrot, -89f, 89f);
camR1 = Quaternion.Euler(yrot, xrot, 0);

//flips left/right, doesnt preserve look direction
//cam.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(head.forward,-Physics.gravity.normalized)*camR1;

//doesnt preserve gravity orientation
//Vector3 gravityForward = Vector3.Cross(Physics.gravity.normalized,head.right);
//Quaternion rot = camR1*Quaternion.AngleAxis(0,gravityForward);

//flips left/right, doesnt preserve look direction
//Quaternion rr = Quaternion.LookRotation(head.forward,-Physics.gravity.normalized);
//Quaternion rot = rr*camR1;

//flips all angles, doesnt preserve look direction, inverts cam y
//Quaternion rot = Quaternion.LookRotation(camR1*head.forward,-Physics.gravity.normalized);

cam.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(cam.rotation,rot,Time.deltaTime*50f);

>>530979124
have you tried just pasting that into Deepseek?

To achieve a camera that orients itself with gravity while maintaining its look direction toward a specific object, you'll need to separate the gravity alignment from the camera's look rotation. Here's how you can implement this:
Solution Code:
csharp

float deltaX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sens * Time.deltaTime;
float deltaY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * -sens * Time.deltaTime;
xrot += deltaX;
yrot += deltaY;
yrot = Mathf.Clamp(yrot, -89f, 89f);

// Calculate the base camera rotation from mouse input
Quaternion camR1 = Quaternion.Euler(yrot, xrot, 0);

// Get the current forward direction of the camera (before gravity adjustment)
Vector3 desiredForward = camR1 * Vector3.forward;

// Create a rotation that aligns the camera's up with inverted gravity
Quaternion gravityAlignment = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, -Physics.gravity.normalized);

// Apply the gravity alignment while preserving the look direction
Quaternion finalRotation = gravityAlignment * Quaternion.LookRotation(desiredForward, -Physics.gravity.normalized);

// Smoothly interpolate to the new rotation
cam.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(cam.rotation, finalRotation, Time.deltaTime * 50f);

>>530979124
go to the library

>>530979108
I wonder how Eric feels about Hopoo selling out...

>>530979124
your code is commented out, try removing the comments (the // ) :)

Idk how to code this but with Cinemachine you just "Lock to Target with World Up" and the in the Cinemachine brain (in the main camera) set a world up override that points in your gravity direction.

>>530970932
Who is Zohran

>>530979124
Again, stop trying to interpolate in your own code, because your code sucks. Use Cinemachine.

>>530981005
He tried so hard

>>530980214
In godot this would be so easy:
forward = object.global_position - camera.global_position
camera.look_at(object.global_position)
x = camera.basis.y.angle_to(gravity)
camera.rotate(forward, x)

Something like that, my syntax is rusty.

Learn to read a graph, retard.

>>530980664
i just wanna write my own stuff since it makes me feel less like a retard when i make something that works

also question about cinemachine, would i be able to make it rotate with an arbitrary gravity vector instead of only the world up? my gravity system works similarly to what youd get in mario galaxy

>>530981694
yes, create an additional empty Transform in your scene and make that transform face in your gravity direction. Then in the cinemachine brain (on the main camera object) set that to the world up override

>>530968875
Writing a book is too overwhelming for me, I can't do it.

After spending all day reading /weg/ I think I understand the core issue why most of them suck.

And It's not the fact they use koikatsu or AI.
It's writing quality.

Good VN boils down to a harem of waifus who are passive agressive bitches to each other and just start cat fights for the MC dick.

The average crappy VN tries to tell a story without conflict, and that's why It feels slow and boring.

Myst.

>>530980413
If you really want to do it yourself, the simplest way is to, instead of slerping a final rotation, slerp the player-experienced gravity vector. Your controls are fucked up because your inputs need to be rotated by the transform of the camera before you apply them.

You're not making a good game that anyone wants to play in a couple of hours. You're making an unpolished empty prototype. That's the book equivalent of a few bullet points containing a plot and setting outline, which can be written in a few minutes.

I need some opinions.

Is there a VN where the story behaves more like kof 2002?

What I mean is that there's a big number of female characters, but only like 5 are avaible in a single playtrhought.

Let's say there are 50 female characters, but only 5 are available, but each character has like some extra chapters they get triggered depending if on the selected list of girls, there's like one they really hate or there's another they really love.

Imagime by example, Girl A has a hate relationship with Girl B and this trigger a fight between them, but if there's like Girl C she will react to that fight.

But if Girl B is replaced with Girl D, that fight isn't triggered, but maybe there's a diferent chapter with girl C and D having some banter exchange.

>>530979124
Have you tried using cinemachine? It has hard look at positioning that might help with transition during rotation

>>530984890
Bullet points containing a plot and setting outline isn't even a bad book. It's not a book at all.

>i just wanna write my own stuff since it makes me feel less like a retard when i make something that works
that only works if you can actually make it work. If you can’t actually make it work, like you’re doing right now, it only makes you look more like a retard

Guys. I'm thinking about moving to combodia or georgia, the country, for 4 years to finish a game. Thoughts? Apartments are like 200 a month. Food is like $2 for a restaurant meal.

>>530987021
Do you speak either language? Are you fine with getting shot during the next color revolution?

>>530987021
i was in the UAE its pretty cheap outside dubai but they revoked my visa for no reason the fucking cunts so i went back to thailand, lookup expat forums before picking a city

>>530987298
No I don't speak the language. But I don't plan on talking much. I can stay focused a good 10-12 hours a day. I would figure out how to order food and autistically visit the same restaurant and grocery store a day. Georgia I think speaks some english. They of course border Russia which is problematic. Cambodia and Thailand I guess have issues too. But I'm not that worried about it.

>>530985535
I don't even like Braid or the Witness but I still feel bad for Jon

>>530987393
Have any expat forums in mind? Are you talking like, reddit, facebook? I've been watching youtube for places to stay in each country. Basically just need cheap rent, internet.

Fundamentally, video games are data visualization and data manipulation. i.e. UIs are the entire game.

alright, i tried using cinemachine and i set the world up override for the brain and the cinemachine camera just ignores it, now what?

>>530987727
mine was pattayatalk but that was 10 years ago it must be dead now i guess you can try fb or reddit but lots of expats are just boomers retiring in a foreign land, i've heard too many horror stories about eastern europe for expats to even consider it but dealing with middle-eastern and south asian immigration services is hell
if you want english and avoid getting shot the safest place is the UAE but getting a non slave visa is extremely hard, it's cheap (lived totally fine on 600$ a month in Sharjah), the food is quality and the tech scene is growing, then i'd say Thailand but Pattaya is full of boomers so it can be depressing, also lots of porn industry people in there and they're disgusting to be around

Send me good vibes, frens. I'm going to break my streak of lazydev and lock in. Today's the day.

>>530987792
Not the entire game, but more than one would think. Pic seems like that autistic tendency of reducing multifaceted/gray area things down into broad abstract categories

>>530988757
If you can't show me the better pong you've personally made, your opinion will be discarded as the ravings of a nodev.

>>530987792
>UIs are the entire game.
Nope. UI (data visualization/manipulation) is everything the player sees, but there's a lot of stuff "under the hood" (data transformations, read only data) that can be very complex, very large, and a big part of the game.
Back in the 90s people would joke that buying a game CD was mostly just buying an audio track with a game on top because something like 60-90% of the actual data storage on the disk could be taken up by the audio data (read only data), meaning UI could end up being only 10-30% of the game.

get mecha mogged

>>530989553
The issue I found for Thailand, from just reading and talking to chatgpt, is that it requires constant border runs every 3 months or something. Georgia and Cambodia are less. Georgia in particular is super easy. But your horror stories freak me out a bit.

HOLY SHIT
UNITY USES WRONG ENGLISH
>monobehaviour instead of monobehavior
Rider set it up for me, so I didn’t even notice. Britbongs made this. Well done on creating a game engine, Muhammad, but why use British English when American English is the standard for programming?

ah wait nvm, i figured it out. thanks bwos

4. If women liked me I’d be a dad with no time for gamedev. I put the work to get dates but I’ve seen what happens if you get settled for so I don’t really feel like I’m missing out.

>>530990253
what? you dont expat with a tourist visa thats just asking for trouble you get a one year extendable visa for long term residency

>>530900437
Anyone who doesn't choose 1 has very strange ideas of what gamedev is and should probably reconsider their priorities because they can easily satisfy their 2-4 related desires way, way more easily than gamedev.

progress - block WIP

>>530990116
dammit!! everytime I see another armored core clone I get jealous and a little sad but inspired too
and then I cope with "well mine isn't a pure AC clone"

>>530991378
Same. It's like I was the only one that liked AC but suddenly after AC6 everyone is making an AC clone

>>530990116
why would anyone play this over AC

>>530991107
Well that's just it. I might be naïve or missing something but Thailand is one of the stricter places. Needing a lot of money, a job, approval from random boards, attend school etc.

I need some feedback on some character designs for my game but I can't post them because I'm under NDA

You seriously should have took more time writing that question because I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish. There is probably many others who want to help you but don't know where to start like me. It's for example very difficult to understand what you mean by flipping gravity, what an orb is, if it's possible to flip on only one axis or all four etc.

As far as I understand you need the angle that I drew in green.

>>530995002
I assumed we're talking about the guns and nuns game here: >>530763640

Question:
When a volume slider is set to its min value, meaning the sound is not audible, should we add a method to no longer play the sound at all? Because effectively it seems the sound is still playing even though it can't be heard.

My min value is set to -80.0db but that means the sound is still playing right?

Using Godot.

>>530996018
>Using Godot.

>>530991589
I always figured AC was kinda niche but anyone who liked mecha at all played it but there has been a resurgence since AC6
More of the clones should do something a little different though most I see are like a 1 to 1 copy

spent the last 2 hours watching dangaroompa battle.

It's cool to see a verbal, but man, it takes a lot of time.

>>530996018
If I were you I wouldn't even bother. Maybe after the game is finished.

To get good at writing you need to write, there really isnt any other way

ok, hear me out: a Quakelike

Sometimes I don't feel like I want to make a game but more the challenge of making a game. The moment I implement something complex I get bored of it. But if I ever want to complete a game I have to also work on all the boring stuff

Here.

>>530996018
Don't bother. It's a trivial amount of CPU%. I just tested it and playing 60 SFX per second only consumes around 5-7% CPU. Realistically, you're playing only maybe 1-3/sec max, costing 0.1-0.3% CPU.

>>530998581
False. I look like this.

>>530998581
I look like Kurt Cobain actually.

>>530998738
>The average identifiable-by-posts poster

>>530998369
Seems like some low hanging for easy optimizations so I went ahead and did it anyway.

func _stop_all_on_bus():
for node in get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("audio_players"):
if node is AudioStreamPlayer and node.bus == bus_name:
node.stop()

Then another function to start it back up when the slider moves up.

>>530999290
Stop will only stop the currently playing sounds, but not prevent any future play triggers. To make this optimization, you would need to create something like a SmartAudioStreamPlayer extends AudioStreamPlayer with a smart_play function that checks if the bus it's going to be playing on is muted or not and reject the play call if so.

Made quite a bit of progress this week, despite slacking off a bit.
-enemy AI updated, now filters and excludes dead units.
-fixed a bunch of animation bugs, mostly around units dying and coming back. Animation blueprints suck.
-a lot of material prep work and level set-up for a new area, the deadplane ziggurat
-UI updated for teleporting menu.
-torch fuel draining now ticks of in-world time rather than real world seconds (to prep for players being able to set their desired in-world time scale)
-combat scenarios can now be paused without crashing the game
Have some moving images for the image board. Hope you had a good read, anon, and make lots of progress!

Game is GloamSnarl, first-person dungeon crawler with some extra light platforming/climbing, time/weather system, pseudo-openworld, and you play as sick monster races like skeletons, onis, gnolls, goblins slimes, etc. Pretty in-depth character building: 8 races, 12 classes, each of which has 3 sublasses.
Have most of the foundational/alpha stuff done, trying to crank out content so there's interesting stuff to test.

>>531014546
Just an unsolicited opinion:
-instead of branching, pipe the boolean directly into the set node.
-you already have a hard cast for player controller, use a reroute node to get the interface call target down the line

If you want even cleaner node maps, create some interfaces off the gamemode and controller and you won't have to cast. Wont save memory load iirc, but it looks nicer and makes the event graphs lighter weight.

>>531014546
I don't know blueprints at all, but there's no way that's right. The >= block outputs a boolean that you can connect directly to whatever you're setting.
