Okay trying this again lol.
Kludge demo is up if anyone wants to try it, feedback is useful to me because it has an unusual control scheme. Next demo will be way more fleshed out with content
I remade a meme I made years ago
>>531101363>>531044885after a bit of testing, my code looks like this:
if(head.parent!=null){
head.SetParent(null);
}
head.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(head.forward, -gravDir.normalized);
head.Rotate(Vector3.up, deltaX * sens * Time.fixedTime);
yrot = Mathf.Clamp(yrot + (deltaY * sens * Time.fixedTime), -89f, 89f);
cam.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(yrot,0,0);
head.position = headLocator.position;
it works well but only if gravity isnt something weird like (5,3,-4)
if gravity does get weird then this entire thing breaks. seems to work fine with other vectors like (9.81,0,0) though, havent tested it much so i could be wrong, any clue how i could make weird vectors work with this?
another thing i noticed is camera rotation speed seems to gradually increase too. i might try and just run a check for large gravity shifts and run something similar to this but primarily rely on the old stuff for everything else, no clue if that will actually work though. gotta leave for work soon so il see if i can figure anything out in 10 or so hours.
if you read this and have anything to add on let me know and il reply when im back

>>531108631Thanks friend, I got one. Your game is really cute!
Noobdev here
What makes a language "faster" than another is the ability for it to manage memory and lower-level access to more basic things, like shader code, that lets one optimize it the way they see fit, right?
>>531107683 (OP)Hmm I don't like this op, it should get pruned imo. I don't care that you're discussing gamedev it just hurts my feelings to look at the op. (sarcasm in case shartzurdev doesnt get it)
>>531108631Already done? It feels like lil red released just yesterday wtf.
>>531108840More layer of abstraction -> slower game
Code in assembly.
>>531108631Hey, I got one, thanks!
I'll throw a review your way when I have the time
>>531108631>No early access>No months of polishing>No cameos>Done in a reasonable timeI do not think Inner circle will approve of this
>>531108631Good luck on the release!
I have spent the weekend trying to make it so that a player isn't charged coin for placing a turret until after they click... but I can't figure it out. Maybe because theres like 3 blueprints involved and they all need to communicate with each other when it should really just be 2 max or something. I don't know, I think I'm retarded. I'm going to go back to "developing" my WEG. I just wanted to be a real dev....
>>531109017The biggest noob trap
>>531108938Yes the 8th boss is done, all the enemies exist, and the last cutscene works so it is a finished game.
>>531109274I'm having a similar problem and I've identified the source: I'm a terrible coder, but fixing it will make me better.
>>531108128I hate these industry plants so much. Do you really think people like this just spawn naturally in everyone's feed? Generating the most clippable content? Pirate did the same shit.
>>531109017>>531109374I had and still have an interest in learning x86-64 but Im just going with C++ for now because I really dont have an interest in writing my own compiler (the Pope cant do this btw)
>>531109274you need separate preview and confirm behaviors
>>531108840>than another is the ability for it to manage memory and lower-level access ... that lets one optimize it the way they see fit, right?Correct in general, but not super relevant in gamedev where you're probably going to use the language that your engine chose for you, and most memory management will probably be done by the engine. E.g. if you use Godot and you use GDscript, it's a shitty interpreted language, so intrinsically very slow. And if you're using engine-native concepts like nodes or resources, all of that is managed by the engine automatically. If you use C#, you do have the ability to do some more low level stuff, but most of the time you won't do it, as playing along with the engine is easier and usually fine
>like shader codeHas nothing to do with it. Shader code is written in specific languages that are only used for shaders, and they're basically all the same shit with no difference in speed. This makes sense because there's no such thing as managing memory and lower level access in a shader, you're just doing math with some fixed size data
>>531109274It's simple, the "placing" UI is a different layer. So the player clicks are registered by the UI layer, and it's the job of the UI layer to spawn a turret, subtract coin, etc
>>531108309>>531108534Ey m8, maybe tomorrow or wednesday. This looks like it has a fun potential. Good luck with the devving!
>>531108309>>531108534You also forgot to mention that you will delete your game from DD after today.
Basically just shitting on the community.
>>531108631Nice thanks anon. I actually checked your game out last week or something and remembering wanting to play it. Looks very cute
>>531108631Aw man... i was too late.
Still tho, good luck on your launch! if you have links for trailer or promotional video on youtube or something, i will watch and like the video
>>531109595Yeah the pope can't do it because C is the devil's language, and OOP is the devil's paradigm. C++ is an abomination.
>>531109726I see.
Im using Raylib to attempt to make a Minecraft clone because
1. I figure thats a decent way to learn basic C++ as a beginner
2. I figure thats a decent way to learn basic gamedev as a beginner
3. Minecrafts spaghetti code is resource intensive as it is using the LWJGL, and I wanted something faster than that, with more control than an engine would give me
Are these good lines of reasoning/choices?
My game used to exist. Now where is it? My Recycle Bin on my desktop... anddd... oops accidentally emptied that shit, now it's gone forever.
>>531110153OOP is absolute dog water, and it's still head & shoulders above everything else
>>531109889>Shitting on the community DD is litterally the only place I post this game's builds. Its exclusive to DD. I told you the physics change significantly between builds as I improve them, I only want it up for a few weeks at a time.
You mean to say anons from /v/3 actually get things done???
>>531110628there is also ECS
i hate javascript and javascript users
>>531110256It's great way to learn to code, an ok way to learn gamedev, and a bad way to actually make a real game. As soon as you feel like you want to make a real game, hop on one of the big 3 engines to at least try it out. The people actually making games without an engine are people who are already very used to programming, and usually even they don't get very far.
C++ is good but going through the configuration hell to set it up is uniquely dumb and frustrating. I guess with Raylib it's probably not that bad, and it's just a one time challenge at the beginning. But if you do get filtered, don't assume that all programming is like that, and just try another language or an engine.
I think Minecraft is one of the few cases where the algorithms and the math actually matters more than the language and tech for performance. You can find countless blogs and videos about of to optimize meshes and whatever. It's up to you how hard you want to go.
>>531111356no one hates javascript more than a javascript user
It's even possible to fuse the autismo of kings crusader 3 with a dating harem VN like tokimeki memorial and the discord faggotry of DDLC?

Game design question:
Should items have a chance to crit? As an example, a healing potion.
why does overwatch look so good in comparison to other stylized games? how much does it have to do with the textures in comparison to the post processing?
>>531109742Yeah, the menu sets the preview to active and I have it so it sets the cost of the turret to an integer variable, but then in the player controller when I try to reference the cost and subtract it from the players balance it gets all fucky, cause players balance is stored in game mode (I think), the turret cost in the turret widget UI, and then I'm trying to execute and do the math in player controller. Using "cast to" keeps giving warnings/errors and trying to learn Interfaces is not making any sense... Basically I just have no idea how blueprints are meant to communicate with each other, something in my brain is not clicking.
This is just some demo blueprint game I paid $5 for on the store, it's not even my own blueprints. I was just trying to understand it and tweak things as I go. It's probably just too much for someone that's been using UE5 for like 2 weeks. And to think I want my game to be multiplayer, oof...
>firing 320k ray per frame
I need a genius to tell me how to find the "closest non-obstructed target" in a Total War-ish game.
I'm cutting all possible corners but clearly I need something better than just a well-optimized "raycast between everyone, lol".

>>531112502>Relevant info>OP pic is just memes as far back as the board can rememberBait. No one is this retarded.
>>531113810I don't mean how to get to it.
I mean for a unit to know if it has an actual line-of-sight and can thus can shoot it or not.
Let's say I have 5000 riflemen order to shoot at the other army, and there is a bunch of buildings spread between them.
I want each soldier to pick a target it can actually "see", and that mean line-of-sight raycasts.
I just want them to admit that THEY'RE the problem. Stop giving me "feedback" that starts with "Your game does...", when you should be starting your feedback with "Since I'm not smart enough, I..."
lmao, the inner circle need to be exterminated for this
gamedev is about constantly creating your own imaginary problems (ideas) to have something new to do. it's like you have to spend so much time just making up todo-lists.
>>531112502you post irrelevant cringe in the OP all the time, we're nice enough not to chimpout unlike you tough :)
>>531116732update diferent chunks of units at diferent frames, you don't need 60 checks per every unit.
You only need like 1 check per second per unit.
You can do a loop that iterates all the units and then do something like if current_unit_id > 100 then wait a frame or end the loop and set up next frame begin and end id using the next chunks.
That way you can do 60 chunks of 100 units (6k units) per second without any frame issue.
>>531117369>You only need like 1 check per second per unit.That's already the case.
They have a timer and only search for a new/better target once every second.

>>531116732You don't need to do the cast every frame.
Divide your army into (10-20) buckets based on object ID or something.
Each frame only do the raycasts for one bucket.
Then you can adjust the number of buckets based on your required performance vs unit reaction speed.
>>531117559have an integer when each one is active and then wait a frame if the number of active units is bigger than something like MAX_UNITS_PER_FRAME.

How does Cris justify himself when people have 3 full released games on Steam and he has 0?

Man, it's cool or not cool to play a little game where you start with a map of a virgin island, where each tile is a sub map where you can build stuff.
Then you start off as a little dork and you have a system of days and nights.
Then you have to kind of build shit and research technologies.
But there's like a crystal in the center of the island, where they spawn in a magical way from the energy of the crystal, they can do stupid things like planting m
atics and have little animals and collect fruits.
Then time progresses and you stick your dick in them and they get pregnant, but for that you need to make them fall in love with a VN romance mechanic.
At the end they let you stick your dick in them and that gives you more charisma, more intelligence and makes your dick thicker.
But you can also hit them and stick your dick in them because they are whores and you are an incel.
In the end the world evolves as you develop technology and your clothes change and the buildings change.
And the world map evolves like a paradox map.
At the end you put the pilin in 256 girls and get them pregnant because when you impregnate one, she spawns in the real world as the mother of a religious or historical leader.
At the end of the game, you are the father of all the heroes and relevant characters in the history of that world.

>>531123873It's deeply intertwined with the inner circle mass hysteria phenomenon. ToK is the poster child for the inner circle's cult of personality and local popularity. It was held up as the highest standard of game quality while being a middling and incompetent game. It's because of the hypocrisy. If it wasn't lauded as the pinnacle of game development efforts there would probably be no beef in the first place

>>531112863It's the style and overall composition more than anything, in that pic I see a mash of real + toon and architecture from like 5 different periods in history. If you gave that scene to an engineer like me I'd spend a month studying how medival architecture was made and then spend weeks trying to place the beams right to carry the fictional loads and make sure the material surfaces were period accurate. Meanwhile the artist that made that just slapped a bunch of shit together randomly in a way that looks appealing despite making no sense.
Also 99% sure that scene has baked lighting, stylized games usually don't bake lighting which gives it that real but still cartoon look.
you gotta completely rethink video games. you not gonna make the next skyrim, you not gonna make the next stardew valley, you not gonna make the next minecraft, you not gonna make the next counter-strike, you not gonna make the next pokemon.
you gotta make a game where people will say the same thing about your game. when your game was the first big hit and everybody copying it will just be seen as a bad copy.

the era of video games you play for 1000+ hours is over. only games made before 2020 achieved that. new games are all low playtime.
In C++ a library function needs a word ("GREEN") as one if its paramaters, I want to replace the word "GREEN" with color, and define color as "GREEN" elsewhere.
How do I do that?
(Im only asking here because I cant find how anywhere else, or Im just doing it wrong)

>>531109580Northernlion has been streaming for a very long time as far as I know. Second, I think the algorithm constantly a/b tests videos/channels and detects what would get attention. If it does it shows it to a larger number of people and keeps going.
>>531125069string color = "GREEN";
?
not sure i understand your problem
>>531125548Ive tried exactly that and I keep getting "color not declared in scope"
Im obviously putting it in wrong somehow but I cant figure out how
>>531112863Because of a combination of good lighting, phenomenal art direction AND they are good at making art, it's one of the few things blizzard is still actually capable of doing.
A lot of games with stylized art styles have inconsistent artstyles, with overwatch you will notice that none of the surfaces are too busy, nor are they overly flat.

>>531108381>camera rotation speed seems to gradually increaseAre you sure or is it just in your head from flipping around so much? The only reason I can think of that could possibly cause this is if Unity doesn't correctly normalize typical normalized vectors for you, but I highly doubt that's the case.
There should be no reason why it wouldn't work for weird gravity numbers. gravDir is in world space right? How is it calculated? Maybe draw some debug vectors and make sure the gravity values are actually what you're expecting.

Wait I think I figured it out.
GREEN is listed as one of Color, when I put cubecolor, and list cubecolor as "GREEN" it has no idea what Im talking about, as its expecting "GREEN" to be one of Color.

>>531127013Meaning that when I give it cubecolor in place of GREEN, cubecolor just links back to the string "GREEN", when I give it "GREEN", GREEN links back to an actual color.

what are some ways to make gamedev feel less lonely and quiet? maybe speedruns on second screen or so? i feel like social media makes me feel less lonely and i don't want to feel lonely. but running vod's don't quiet help with loneliness.
i was using werster's speedruns sometimes, but right now they don't help with loneliness while deving. i know i sound like a bitch, but i don't like the mental void that is deving.

Is it hard to generate 3d asteroids that you can mine? I'm not even sure where to get started with something like this.
>>531128420The goal of an indie is to get other people to put down the games they play so they can play your game. If you, yourself are incapable of putting things down to make your game, then how can you hope for others to do the same?

>>531128350Are you directly paying for ads on some Chinese platform? Click bots don't randomly target people for no reason, and there's no way someone like you operating on an ad budget of tens of dollars would attract that kind of attention.
>>531128887I have most of my framework already coded.
I was taking some days off to play a lot of menue based games to have better ideas and steal mechanics from other games.
>>531128767marching cubes algorithm. basically you have an array of density values, each value describes "how far is this point from the surface", negative values are inside, positive values are outside. each array element represents a point in space. e.g. if you got a 32^3 tall asteroid you need a 32^3 array.
you typically use 3D simplex noise (e.g. you can use fastnoiselite for this) to generate those densities.
and then you use marching cubes to turn those densities into a mesh. and then you can use SDF functions to mine. e.g. a sphere sdf that you run over all densities in range to mix their original value with the sphere sdf function.

that's the terminology you need. understand all of this can be hard, but you'll get it at some point.

everybody taking pride in only caring about money now
Pretty if someone at /agdg/ mixes Adventure Capitalist cookie clicker mechanics with the goal of getting enough money to buy presents and unlock dates and have the dating process of Hunniepop, and had the schedule system of dimension 69.
It would be a 100% KINO idea.
Honestly the moment AAA devs realize they don't NEED to spend $300M on the best photorealistic raytraced 200gb megafart graphics, indies are boned.
Replaying SD3 again (or at least two playthroughs of the remake) after 20 years has inspired me to make a mana-like. But should the presentation be follow-camera, top-down, or beat 'em up?
>>531129649Maybe it wouldn't be this way if faggots like you spent money on soulful indie game that weren't optimized to attract players, but no.

Personally Im a huge fan of the Breath of Fire/Super Mario RPG syle
>>531130416Do whatever RPGMaker has a template for.
problem:
if you have a bunch of machines go off in the same tick (common scenario) all their sounds go off in the same instant, creating making one extremely loud noise
solution:
add small random variation in sounds
problem:
20 of a similar sound with small random variation comes off as horrible static
solution:
cluster similar sounds by position and type, and then only play 1 sound for the nearest 3 clusters (tinted cyan in this debug view)
i find it amazing that a game so building-focused like minecraft gets little to no updates related to building. no new block shapes, no new decorative stuff. it's like lego insisting that 10 types of lego pieces are enough for all eternity.

Anyway, in C/C++ everything in all capitals is a pre-processor macro, meaning the compiler just replaces it with its actual value at compile-time. If you look at your definitions of GREEN it's likely a struct or something. You're not supposed to be using any strings, since none of those are strings. Macros like that are made using #define, like
#define GREEN (Color){0, 255, 0, 255}
Using RGBA format.

This is the development of a demo game called Case Maroon.
It is made using Unity.
It will be an online 2d strategy war game (no PBEM).
The name comes from the German WW2 naming convention.
Think Case Yellow (Invasion of France) or Case Blue (1942 Summer offensive towards Stalingrad).
You can check out most the code here.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma released a little over a month ago and has made roughly $4m on Steam. Meanwhile, SDV has made around the same, if not slightly more in that same timeframe.

What's the difference between a roguelike and a roguelite?

>>531173839Rogue-lite implies a meta-progression system, typically implemented as an choice granted during rogue-like runs. i.e. You can choose between power in the current run or power for all future runs.

Any tips on writing self-modifying code for a card game? I've been struggling with it for a while and I just can't find a clean way to allow arbitrary injection of code into any function at any point. The closest I've come is breaking them into step objects and then executing the steps one at a time. This means that before a modifiable function can run, it has to build a ton of single use objects and set them up. This works but it's a huge pain to program.
Is there a better way?
>Just hardcode it
This is what I ended up doing but ngl it's starting to feel hard to implement new things since new modifiers lead to frequent refactoring of the things that need to be modified by them.
>>531174038You misuse the word "skinnerbox". Rogue-lites are just rogue-likes but let you carry across your upgrades. Nothing skinnerboxy about that.
>>531174174Look into modding, scripting and json. Any type of generic coding like this is usually very painful to program because it requires a lot of work.

>>531174442Between that and the lack of answers for support requests recently it makes me think there might be some internal problems
>>531174174Sounds like an XY problem, you shouldn't write self-modifying code anyway, I don't see why something like that would be required. What is your problem? Come up with a different plan than self-modifying code.

>>531174174Don't do this, make a highly generic function with a bunch of if statements that can do anything you need depending on what data you pass to it. Then just pass it a lot of different data. Chances are you don't really need that much flexibility anyway, but if you do, you can still do it, and it will become a bit like a mini-interpreter.

Thanks anons
>>531174256Looking into how other games interpreted modding is a good idea.
>>531174794Hmm maybe. The issue is that I don't know what I don't know. I guess the underlying problem is that I need to design something that makes refactoring easy since I know for a fact I will need new functionality that I haven't been able to predict on the regular. As is, functions are never done because they're always shifting to meet new requirements. Predicting everything you might need at once is really difficult since card games change and evolve over time.
>>531175172Interesting. So on the level of "decrease the variable pointed to by X?". It might work, though part of me worries it'll be equivalent to kicking the can down the road, since I'll still need higher-level functions.
I did consider writing an interpreter. Efficiency aside, step objects feel like they're basically equivalent to parsed commands, except that they're packaged with their behavior so they're easier to point to and interact with via autocomplete features. Is there any practical reason why you think they're unsuited for this task? Like, you could put function pointers and variables in arrays or structs and then pass around pointers to the containers, but that's basically an object by another name haha.

>>531176893it is useful when you want different versions of the same thing, like if you make a directX game and later port it to vulkan, you can have a directX rending class and a vulkan rendering class, both inherit from "Renderer" base class and have the same interfaces

>>531148574> giving Hitler advice so he can win the warThat's one is piss easy, just tell him to stop being a little bitch about France having shelled his ass during WW1 and accept Pรฉtain's offer to willingly join the Axis.
France still had most of its army, including a navy that was actually a problem for the Royal Navy, and an industry that was roughly on par with Germany's.
WWII would have been a rolfstomp from there, except instead of that Uncle Adolph said no so France was half a major drain of resources, half an hostile minor faction.

>>5311773272 minutes is too quick for me to do any problem solving, but you do you.
>>531177356true. I suppose you could make the struct have static type checking if you define it as having specific function pointers, and then the onus is on the DirectX and the Vulkan renderers init functions to assign appropriate functions to the function pointers and all use the same struct type. because if instead you had a struct RendererDirectX and struct RendererVulkan and they had to promise to have the same function pointers at the top and you just cast the structs to a generic Renderer struct, that is dangerous because the struct casting isn't type checked so you can accidentally make problems.
although I wonder if "generic selection" can be used some how to aid with that.

>>531179097Why can't it pump out a codebase of a game yet? How hard can it be to manufacture some player controllers, classes for items, enemies, UI, etc. then put it together? I can do that in my sleep, but an AI can't even manage that? It's basically shape matching but as a programmer.
>>531179097I've been saying it, It's my favorite retarded conspiracy theory because it relies on competition not existing and people being okay to pay for worse quality, but my idea is basically that at some point they will take the AI away from us because it's either too expensive or some other reason.
It's totally not going to happen and claude 4 prints them enough money while being an amazing model
>>531179296>AI can't even manage that?It can, you are retarded.
>>531179526>he thinks it's about money and not control on informationngmi
quit game dev while you're ahead
No, I will not work on smaller projects to build up my skills. I WILL work on my dream project from the get go and spend countless years running into walls.
>>531179694I was going to say that given enough intelligence any advanced AI will always condemn the right for Israel to exist as an apartheid state but figured this would be too out of topic
Times up, I couldn't fix my game in time now it'll flop. Better luck (literally, it was random chance) next time.
>everything goes smooth when the game is simple
>add features
>it becomes a mess
nah this is not for me
>>531179097>bro had five paid accounts>FIVE>>531179526it's not a conspiracy theory. we all know that AI has been running on investment money and that sooner or later they will either need to raise prices to a ridiculous level or close down.
maybe they didn't anticipate AIbros getting utterly addicted to the copium supply
>>531179820You run into walls regardless. The important part is choosing which walls to run into.

games are complex, web apps are easy to code
>>531176287>paying in GenshinGenuinely why, unless you are retarded?
The game is piss easy and can be completed with the base free characters, even the optional "challenging" area.
Genshin is 0 bucks. If you ever pay you should not even be playing vidya.
>>531179874Literally me.
>add a new game mechanic>requires twenty new variables and ten new functions>now managing like a hundred different data lines>have to playtest every possible failure point
>>531180129The game wants me to pay, so I pay.
That's by design.
Why should I feel like a loser and wait months to get the characters I want when I can pay and get it right now?
>>531179985Looks good Anon. You making a Trials-clone?
>>531180147this image represents complexity of a game
unless you're making something very simple, its a fuck ton of work to make it work, juggling all this shit
>>531180147just download the pirated version. oh wait, there isn't one? that's why f2p MMOs are worse than normal paid games, because only normal paid games git warez releases

>>531180317that's why we're the superior beings
we can make a game and juggle all of this shit when lower beings would have long given up
>>531180472there is a lot more AI assistance for webdev than for other kinds of coding, maybe that is where he is coming from. or he is using some framework that does everything including routing and deployment for him, maybe
>>531180347The only that changes between Web Apps is the data being served. Interactions and protocols have been static for decades.
>>531180606>that's why we're the superior beingsI don't think so, we are moving towards simplicity not complexity. Right now we are retards creating things with retard ways.
In the future making a game will be a simple as clicking some buttons
>>531180801wrong
humans have always longed to create games
it is the peak of human creativity to complicate life by introducing arbitrary rules that govern enjoyment
why kick ball when you can kick ball only into a net or without any unraveling physical force?
>>531180693> static for decades.NOPE., browsers killing cross origin scripting FUCKED a TONE of SHIT straight UP. they are also trying to kill LAN access which will wreck one of my clever ideas of running a localhost server on a high port number in my game then hitting that localhost address from the website to do some game interactive stuff
>>531180436Why isn't it possible to make a video game without some of those things?
There are pockets of steam users that aren't functionally members of a lower less developed species, but they're all playing the zachtronics game that just came out because he has the monopoly on fanbases capable of reading above a 3rd grade level.
>>531181046Rules don't govern enjoyment. They are meant as a challenge which promotes enjoyment. Bureaucracy diminishes fun, not rules.

guys, is there a harem VN that actually did the story how kof in general tells their stories?
Basically you start with a character selection screen and select a team of like 10 girls and then the story shows the chapters of each one.
>>531181379or its an AI bot with an out dated knowledge model... you best start believing in dead internet theory, you're in one
>>531181162>>531181414>Browsers are the webLol. Lmao, even.
>>531181452Not that I know BUT that is less interesting than what is usually done where you choose the girls through your actions during the game rather than some boring character selection screen.

>>531181913Web Site != Web App. Besides, browser-locked sites are just caused by weblets who can't wrap their head around buying coffee through ssh.
>>531181653Is not possible to make a linear story with 256 female characters, because making each one be a complete story of 30 chapters, would make the story be 7k chapters/pages.

Reposting progress, working on a UI for selecting what weapons players will have at the beginning of a level and other areas where they can change them in-between sections. Balancing a three weapon limit might be a bit of a pain in the ass so i've kinda started to make every weapon feel somewhat viable against most enemies. I hope that doesn't make them feel samey. Like, for example, if a projectile weapon only excels with direct hits, and is mediocre otherwise in terms of splash damage, will it feel unfair when players encounter several hard to hit aerial targets and the player gets raped cause they can't hit them?
Dear SoloDevs: I resent you.

Just had the idea, of what if I use the city and calendar system of simulation 69 but made it so the choices of it end up afecting a game of civilization.
Like the game is about being the chaos god and you have to romance a group of godesses, and improving our relationship makes gifts or blessing in the civilizations game appear.
And then the npcs of the civilization game can create items as sacrifices or shit to you, so you use it with the wifus so you can later fugg them.

>>531187751Word of advice: Don't do this. If you don't have your own Mac to test a full play-through of your game, don't upload on Steam a Mac version unless you're prepared for negative reviews complaining about bugs that you have absolutely no way of checking and fixing.

I want to make a game that is literally a harem isekai rape kinetic novel.
But I want the player be able to pick 5 girls to rape from a list of 256 possible girls, and then have each girl be the MC of her own rape story with 30 chapters.
The issue is that I need to make a procedural system for this.
Is there a way to code such system?

>>531180313Cheers, more like elasto mania than trials. I'm taking inspiration from it, but my engine supports vehicle customization so players/modders can create new vehicles via a JSON spec. I like elasto mania so I made the moped from it as the first vehicle and as a placeholder.
