Good first post, blessed be thy progress

>>531195657 (OP)
>woke up 2 hours ago
>already feel sleepy and tired

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.

yeah it's a NEET life

The only realistic way I can make something like simulation 69 with honeypop, and keep it with 256 waifus to rape, until they're mindbroken and become your sex slaves, is to make a procedural story engine for it.

But the issue is how to design such procedural engine to generate a story.

My initial idea is to make it like how VN generates all combinations of possible girls sprites using some layered system.

>>531196372
Actually it does update since I got -1 wishlist.

There are no mistakes in game dev, only happy accidents.

continuing from last post, I also will add an option to change the central/primary crosshair to something easier on the eyes, like a simple dot.
If anyone has their favourite style of crosshair, feel free to suggest.

Wondering if I should change the capsule of Galduen for the steam page.

i am so lonely
i wish i had a friend to make games with

>>531196412
If you can, do your work on a separate device and/or in a different room. Not being on my gaming rig really helps me work.

what do we think of eceleb worshippers who will only buy and play your game if their favorite eceleb likes it?
should I really believe these people are humans and not make gambleslop to fleece them?

>>531202170
I think you people spend too much time thinking about stuff like this when you should be busy making your game.

>>531202170
what do you expect them to do? browse through the thousands of games that release each week and decide for themselves? they'd probably just quit buying games altogether if they had to do that.

The worst mistake you can make is not design your game for children. Look back at your favorite childhood games? I bet you they weren't specifically made for adults(but that doesn't mean they can't be enjoyed by them)

Nowadays the elites can't just put their kids on the board of whatever meme company they run because they have investors and shareholders, so they need to find another place to distract them. A lot are picking gamedev.

>>531203079
It's because you have a skill issue. If you were better, nepobabies wouldn't be so popular.

>>531203402
children to me sounds like you mean very young kids that need their parents to buy games for them. if you mean teenagers then yeah i guess i had a job and could buy games myself but i don't see a significantly big difference between how you would design a game for teenagers vs adults for it to be relevant to take into consideration.

>>531204257

>>531203618
I'm in. (I just got a premonition... I saw my game flopping. Regardless it must have been the 5g towers transmitting that into my head, its false.) Anyway yeah I'll show those nepobabbies how my game will succeed from the dirt

>>531203337

Is this better?

Inconvenient Truth: Selfish pompous self-absorbed SoloDevs have done more damage to the video game industry and indie dev space than any of these so called "nepobabies grifters" and "ai slop farms" ever could and you can't convince me otherwise. This is a undeniable FACT.

My game is like a carcass, it'll give clonedevs years of free food to steal from after it flops.

>>531205221
Based ecosystem flourishing dev.

Today I've worked over 3 hours on my game. I know it's not much but it's more than I've worked on any day in the last 3 months.
I made some decent progress too. Who knew more work equals more progress?

>>531202453
let's not pretend like they actually care about the game or the dev, it's all parasocial bs
you could get info from small specialized YouTube channels that talk about x genre, follow devs on x the everything app and the algorithm will feed you more, etc etc let's not pretend that they HAVE to dickride a bald streamer to get into on indie releases they might like
if only we had a platform that actually helped people find our games, too bad we're stuck with steam

>>531196369

>>531204976
I think that's pretty good. While floating spaceman has been the hallmark of your game since the beginning, you this one catches the eye far more.

Gonna be honest with you, if I was an uniformed consumer on Steam I would have no idea what the fuck I'm looking at.
You post here every time I look and I still don't know what the gameplay is, just that you have a lot of homo twink shit but no porn.
Please release your game so I don't have to see it anymore after you get Marmoreal'd

>>531204976
does not change my assessment at all

>>531204976
I hope for the best for you but I really think I know how this is gonna go and I feel very bad for you.

that was a rocket? i thought it was a cigarette.
if this is your >>531204976 steam capsule image you really should put in more effort to the background, i mean look at the planet. surely you can do better than that, it looks completely half assed. if you can't, you should hire an artist because this makes your product look extremely low effort

How about a Shadow Tower ripoff?

Maybe I should just draw an entire asset for it?

Stop complaining and stop wasting energy trying to actively resist the black box of miracles. Install cold turkey and set daily 60 minute allowances for distractions. There's a difference between not getting distracted while being tempted, and not being distracted because it's impossible to be

Anyone know if the UEBS2 guy posted details about about his code (other that the very superficial stuff on his youtube channel)?
I get he offloaded *everything* to the GPU but is there still some back-and-forth with the CPU or does he actually keep everything forever there somehow? Stuff like that.

You can't sample a game in 15 minutes. that doesn't even cover the tutorial in most games.
>>531216518
If you're gonna just check for ideas and execution limit yourself to 2h. If your game is a 3d platformer and you pick a few seminal ones to play through then do it. either way do it after a day of devving when you're tired. and take notes. not during.

>>531201115
The market is oversaturated.
An average of 50 games get released on Steam every single day.
Any game released today has to compete with 30 years of available video games that are all still there and probably do something better than your game does.

Most indies and amateur gamedevs are not doing games because they want to tell a story, or because they want to make something that's genuinely fun and engrossing. They're only doing it because they think they'll hit big as a solo dev and become trillionaires.

There's also the problem of "forever games" that take up most of a player's time and attention. Millions of people are stuck playing the same live service gacha, BR, FPS game day in day out and they never touch another game... ever. Probably 80% of games on Steam don't even get played, most don't get finished.

Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't create games, you should, but don't expect to make any money or anyone to even play or care about your game. Even AAA studios are feeling the pain these days.

Forever games have been taking up player's time attention for over two decades. That's nothing new. Gamers are still playing the exact same games they've always played. CounterStrike, DOTA/LOL, Starcraft, AoE2, Runescape, WoW->FFXIV, Diablo->PoE, MapleStory->Chinkshit.

its crazy how good AI is these days, like if you have the ideas you can make it BIG without millions

How come a simple platformer like this is infinitely more soulful and engaging than 90% of the indie platformers released since then?

Learning JS is a good introduction to the logic of coding. After that it's just learning about the syntax and shenanigans of whatever language you're trying to learn. They all follow the same mathematical logic.

But I am working on a game, don't project your problems on me.

>>531221102
That's a lot of words to basically say nothing of substance. Sasuga Sakurai-san.

I had the following idea for the :"lore" of a game.

There's 256 girls born with a mutant gene, like X-men, but that gene grants them to become like magical bitches that can shoot magical fireballs.

So they can go and fight like Goku and his hoes and Touhou.

But the issue is that they need to release like big clumps of the chaft of that energy.
Otherwise they will suffer a lot of pain if such energy isn't released.

But the only way to do so is to defeat another X girl in battle, because those are the rules of the magical ritual, that only one will be granted the victory.

But winning the battle, means that they will magically spawn a giant futa dick.
So if they win the battle they can use that dick as a funnel to expell the energy into the hole of another X cum girl.

In the end they're like forced to live in a remote island where they can magically fight each other.

>>531218513
In the pathfinding section, for example, that is exactly what I mean: The soldiers flow around the buildings like water would.
The time at 21 sec you have linked: I’m not sure what the gameplay implications are supposed to be; is this just cinema or are the units actually somehow interacting with each other in non-predetermined ways? Again it’s the liquids effect, the smaller side (1 dude) gets pushed away by the bigger force, plays a "hold shield up" animation.
If his AI actually sees an incoming attack and does a timed block, moving backwards, in response and that timed block actually reduces the damage that he will take; and the action is actually weighed against other actions this unit can take; I will say it has a formidable AI. But I think the section is just about the animations being played, not about the game logic - that one probably is just counting some integers down while both sides hack at each other.
I’m saying all this just in response to the original poster who asked how such unit AI can run on the GPU.

>>531222817
It’s a good deal if you need the money. If you don’t need the money, it’s a bad deal. Pretty simple.

if you don't make all of your assets yourself, it's not your game

>>531222817
I'm stuck in a subhuman shithole where getting money from Steam isn't as easy as it is in America so I'm kinda forced to deal with a publisher if I want to have any mental resources left for my game (and not deal with all the legal shit)

Should I at least be flattered that my game is held to a standard that seems to even be above AAA games?

>>531214135

2) definitely an RPG

If it's not my game then whose game is it?

>>531224548
Mine

Alright if literally everyone is going to miss the guide in my game (literally 100% of demo day streams I've gotten so far have missed it) I'll put it on the steam forums instead. That'll be the thing that works.

Mostly getting things ready for the future. The idea is to create the start of the backbone, do other things, then go back with everything else in mind so it can be built around it.

>his game needs a guide

I'll make a tranny simulator to make money off the trannies.

>>531225591
why would they need a simulator for that

>>531225680
They don't but I'll market it as a game that shows the bigots how hard the life of a tranny is and they'll buy it just for virtue signaling.

Cool bait
maybe the party might find it funny though.

This might be the only place in the world where I can ask this and get an unbiased answer. But,
What does aggy think people would respond like, if in my game the main currency was bitcoin, or whatever else there is, say eth. Say the lore of my game made it make sense. There is no more money, hence now you have crypto currency because paper money is stupid for the setting and banks are no more. I'd like to keep a certain kind of "realism", similar to tarkov.

Would people be upset? Do normal people still hate it? Do gamers hate it? Will people think less of the game for having what would have been a fictional-currency-name be a real-world-currency-name.
I'm a little out of touch, sry for autism.

I'm too old for basedjaks or drama. I just maek games.

>>531228825
People would rightfully find it lame

>>531228969
Why can he get away with putting in a lame fake currency like € into his game but I can't?

>>531228276
true because its so hard to find the right people, the guy who made Fate (a reclusive schitzofrenic homosexual) met a loyal artist who loved his ideas and decided to stick with him and together they made a billion dollar IP
in the west tough too many artists are fucking narcissistic and have HUGE ego and believe themselves to be character designer + writer + game designer + ideaguy just because they learned how to draw, ideaguy is God's gift you cannot learn it just like NBA players cannot learn to shoot the 3 or be faster you either have it or you don't

if you think its bait (its not) dont reply newfag, also calling anything you dont like bait is transcoded
good luck with your party tho

>>531229129
They put a level 1 fake currency in. You're talking about level 5 fake currencies.

Game design is the hardest part of gamedev. You cannot design a functional aircraft just by copying the surface-level components. You have to understand the fundamental underlying principles of how and why an aircraft flies, and until you do, all you can build is a Kenyan helicopter.

can I make a beyblades game without getting sued? they'd be called a different name but the game would be about creating some beyblade-esque things by combining different parts then battling them against each other
I'm wondering where the line is on IP, if I completely rip off beyblade designs then I surely will be sued but I don't know about the concept itself of building them from the various parts and battling rhem

>>531229857
You're right. Kenyan games are ones that try to look like they're games but in reality are so shallow, they don't even fly.

>>531229857
Planes are pretty cool desu. I always wanted to design one but it's just one of these dreams which I will never actually realise.

>>531231449
you know a game is hot garbo when it gets the cris seal of approval
just yesterday he was praising koikatsu wegs

Nobody told me that you basically dox yourself in every every way when you make a sole propretiroship...

ok please tell me already wtf a cris is.
I see that name on ic and 3 too and who knows where else.

I think they are falling into a trap. I can see from his thinking about "if you spend 3 months on a game and it doesn't work out, that's great, because you didn't waste years of time on it!". This mindset is weird to me. So you're okay making 4 awful games that you scrap after 3 months, instead of 1 game you scrap after 1 year? To me this whole "make small games" movement is just about trying to strike gold. It's like "we can't trust ourselves to make a good game that will sell well that takes several years to develop, so lets pump out lots of small games quickly and see what sticks".

I don't like that as a game dev model and I don't like that as a business model. There was a pretty huge game dev YouTuber who preached the whole "make small games" mantra ad nauseum, and when he finally went and tried to make a small game in like 6 months, it was simply no fun to play and very undercooked. He seemed to be hoping he could make some decent income off pumping out games every 6 months, but it flopped horribly.

>>531234097
Death Stranding except your escorting a little girl across a wartorn and plague ridden France

Depends, in some countries you are fully hidden. Others it's the name doxxed, even worse in others you post your financials.
To be honest for me it would have not been a problem, but I really hate my name so it's a massive problem for me, well, at least the corpo taxes are decent.

are grifters like marnix aware of their own mediocrity?

Koikatsu has made more money than all /agdg/ games combined. So has Undertale, obviously.

>>531234497
Where I'm from it's all out there now... It's got my own name, the retarded name I gave it, it's got my address. It's gonna say how much it made and how much taxes I paid too after the first taxes happen...

the company that made it went bankrupt so no, undershart is a zio LGTB psyop like contrapoints

>>531234529
I think Marnix knows his games aren't great but his goal isn't to make great games right now anyway. His goal is to make money and keep his studio afloat.

Pfftt HAHAHAHA

>>531235492
I've had this idea for a little bit. It's basically like Nazi Zombies combined with Dead Space/The Thing.
>you + other players are trapped in a remote icy research station on another planet
>you need to fix up the station and signal to the company that rescue is needed
>you have a limited amount of time to do that as the storm is worsening
>meanwhile there is an infection spreading throughout the station that revives dead bodies and creates essentially necromorphs
>infection can be slowed/stopped by burning the wall growths
>third person shooter like dead space
>maintaining heat, lighting and power to the station is essential and the monsters will try to destroy this stuff

It's a proven concept too. Nuclear Nightmare sold well and it's fairly similar.

>love programming
>hate having to make assets
How did it even come to this.

take it to the meta level, writing that post is (partially) trying to justify and rationalise spending a year. Others have self-justified 3 months, others 3 years. Picking out single cases and presenting it as a n=1 study that somehow proves a point doesn't work for either side. I forgot if I had anything else to say besides this. Cheers

feels like there are so many games people have spent years on that get very little attention. does anyone have a game they have worked on very hard that they wish more people had played? i will check it out

>>531236751
They're not mine but I feel that Underspace, Tower of Kalemonvo, Frauki's Adventure and Into the Necrovale should have done better than they did.

On a similar note I also feel that Slipstream, Painters Guild and Vagante way over performed.

>>531236725

>>531236483

I'm still monitoring Banquet for Fools which seems to be doing poorly in terms of sales but is well received by those who have bought it. I don't buy early access games, but sometimes I wonder how it feels for the devs to be "stuck" finishing a game that barely has people playing it, and whether it'll even get finished. And sometimes I think about buying it just to support the development, cause it does look like an interesting game, but idk

it's ridiculous. i've seen the same guy spam the comment section, replying to every single top comment of every single video on oney's channel lately that they should play project nortubel. i don't know who would be schizo enough to do that except nortubeldev themselves but it's scary the kind of mind you must have to do something like that

unless your title is in emoji you might have some problems with "absolutely"
also numbers are typically unavoidable
other than that, go for it
there's lots of titles without text

>making his own game engine instead of devving
no thanks bro

i have this code thats meant to rotate the camera and orient it with gravity, while maintaining the direction the player is looking in and it works but when the gravity isnt doing a large jump i want it to follow the gravitys direction.

picrel is a drawing of what is currently happening vs what i want to happen, any clue how i could make it work?
im clueless and stuck (again)

head.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(head.forward, -gravDir);
head.Rotate(Vector3.up, mouseX * sens * Time.fixedTime);
yrot = Mathf.Clamp(yrot + (mouseY * sens * Time.fixedTime), -89f, 89f);
cam.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(yrot,0,0);

So smut it was!

>>531251783
To achieve the desired camera behavior where it follows the direction of gravity while maintaining the player's forward direction, you can modify your code to blend the camera's orientation based on the gravity direction. Here's a revised approach to help you achieve that:

### Revised Code

// Assuming gravDir is your gravity direction vector
Vector3 gravDir = Physics.gravity.normalized; // Ensure gravDir is normalized

// Calculate the forward direction based on the player's current orientation
Vector3 forward = head.forward;

// Calculate the right direction based on the forward direction and gravity
Vector3 right = Vector3.Cross(gravDir, forward).normalized;

// Calculate the new up direction by using the gravity direction
Vector3 up = gravDir;

// Create a rotation that aligns with the gravity direction while maintaining the forward direction
Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(forward, up);

// Apply the rotation to the head
head.rotation = targetRotation;

// Rotate the head based on mouse input
head.Rotate(Vector3.up, mouseX * sens * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

// Clamp the vertical rotation
yrot = Mathf.Clamp(yrot + (mouseY * sens * Time.fixedDeltaTime), -89f, 89f);

// Apply the vertical rotation to the camera
cam.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(yrot, 0, 0);

this jobby is GRIM

>>531253883

### Explanation

1. **Gravity Direction**: Ensure that `gravDir` is normalized. This will help in maintaining consistent behavior regardless of the magnitude of the gravity vector.

2. **Forward and Right Vectors**: Calculate the `forward` direction based on the player's current orientation. Then, compute the `right` vector using the cross product of the gravity direction and the forward direction. This ensures that the right vector is perpendicular to both the gravity and forward vectors.

3. **Up Vector**: Set the `up` vector to the gravity direction. This will make the camera align with the gravity direction.

4. **Target Rotation**: Create a `targetRotation` using `Quaternion.LookRotation`, which takes the forward and up vectors. This will orient the camera based on the player's forward direction while aligning it with gravity.

5. **Applying Rotation**: Set the head's rotation to the `targetRotation` and then apply the mouse input for horizontal rotation. Finally, clamp and apply the vertical rotation to the camera.

### Additional Considerations

- **Smooth Transition**: If you want a smoother transition when changing directions, consider using `Quaternion.Slerp` to interpolate between the current rotation and the target rotation.

- **Input Sensitivity**: Ensure that the sensitivity (`sens`) and time scaling (`Time.fixedDeltaTime`) are set appropriately for your game's feel.

This approach should help you achieve the desired camera behavior while maintaining the player's orientation and following the gravity direction.

>>531251783
Ah, yes, I see. Since we separated out pitch to a different transform, the yaw transform should be always locked to the plane normal to gravity, so what we need to do is project head.forward onto the plane of gravDir.

head.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(head.forward, gravDir).normalized, -gravDir);

I think the normalized call might be unnecessary, since LookRotation would also normalize. This might also have an edge case where it breaks if you try to do an instantaneous perfect 90 degree gravity change, or it might not, depending on Unity's implementation for these functions. If so, you'll need to keep a record of the previous gravDir and add the rotation difference between previous and current.

Working yourself to the bone is equally as bad. Schedule your leisure and schedule your work. And don't let one take over the other. That is discipline.

Are there any places I could get hired to work in Godot? I want to develop my own games but I need money, so I’d assist in development however I could

Gamedev is a waste of time. Years of work for some shit nobody will play, and even worse that will make you no money. and will take you away from doing things that are actually profitable.

>>531255274
My initial thought is that it would require a lot of bullshit hardcoding that you could avoid by using something like a loot table for item/enemy spawns that takes into account the desired difficulty. A loot table being much easier to tune later.
But honestly if it works then who cares.

All that's going to do is piss off people who buy the game in that language if you end up abandoning it.
If your game isn't story heavy then I would just use the polyglot spreadsheet and for anything you can't directly translate then don't worry about it. If the game is fun it's not going to matter anyway.
If your game is story heavy then you're going to need a real translation. At the very least someone to look over the AI translation.

>All that's going to do is piss off people who buy the game in that language if you end up abandoning it.

yeah
but still seems like a great move if you have real intentions to translate for real using someone
you will attract people to the game, roll the dice and see if some enthusiast offers himself and gain free publicity when you release "translation update for real this time!"

Not code specifically but:
Make an Ocarina of Time builder that allows you to click together 3d Zelda dungeons with a system as simple/idiot friendly as Mario Maker.
Implement a bunch of different items and ways that these items can be used (i.e. hookshot, bow) to make puzzles.
Enemies you can drop into the dungeons.
Bonus points if sharing levels is as easy as copy pasting a twitter length hash into the game.

The base system would be just a dungeon creator essentially but I would also sell the source license separately for people who wanted to make a full game out of it or add more stuff.

It's on my list of projects to make eventually.

If your game isn't being copied, it means it's not a good game.

>>531268694
That's a tough one because there are a lot of post apocalyptic games (Wasteland, Metro, STALKER) and a lot of games that have a similar humorous vibe (Atomfall, Atomic Heart).
None of them hit exactly the same but they're close enough that I don't think there is that much demand for a Fallout ripoff.

If I was going to make a Bethesda style RPG, I would think about what kind of setting hasn't had that type of game done within it and go from there.

I don't need AI integration on my excel spreadsheets because I know how to use excel. But Microsoft really fucking wants me to. Reminds me of how they push OneDrive.

>>531269390
amateur game development general implies we make game
but it definitely doesn't imply we come here to discourage making game

>>531269875
>>531269915
Any AI tools agdg uses literally will be used by third world scammers to scam people online.

It's literally like screaming I'm a pajeet and I wont buy your game if it looks like made by indians.

nepobaby who had all the time in the world,
always lived comfortably, probably never had to do anything ever or any chores

and he made the most overrated, normalfag video game in history? wow congratulations on those millions to add to his other millions

>>531269915
AI integration in Unity and Unreal has been great though. AI is the future for graphics too apparently.

>>531269567
relax

>>531263815
I don't beleive anything AI hype bros say. It's been "over" for 2 years according to these faggots. And yet the only real use for AI has been generating memes, generating porn, and completely destroying the already dubious credibility of anyone's degree from 2023 onwards.

>>531270084
It takes brains to scam people. You know by now no one here is capable of it or they would just make a crap game and market it as gold plated dung.

>>531269875
Is OpenAI profitable yet?

>>531270017
Game development is one of the most difficult things you can do in life, and many posters here simply aren't cut out for it.

>>531270192
damn anon like touch some grass
so many programmers nowadays use AI to help them write code
writers use AI for ideas
3D modeling has taken leaps in generating from a prompt
AAA studios are using it to prompt artwork for splash images
even elon uses it to design products he actually puts out

>>531269567
Name ten original games over the past decade.

>>531270192
>head in the sand

>>531270262
Sorry, but I dont want to make my game to look like It was made by indians.

>>531269767
He had six years to hone his skills. There must have been dozens of video game books to read released in that time.

>>531270343
It's not Professional Game Development General nor Let's Try to Strike It Rich Playing the Gamedev Lottery General
We're here to make games, no matter how small or shitty, and talk about making games. Simple as

Retard

the setting I am making my game in, has never been seen before.

It's not like any other setting you're particularly used to.

I literally played like 80 menue games in the last 5 days.

I think it was a worthwhile endeavour.

>>531270842
Based
We need to go back to the 2012 attitude.
Make games to make games. Everything else is secondary.

>>531270893

>>531270673
I was just thinking about TURK ER JERBS the other day. It would be funny if they reference it with AI.

So, /pgdg/ split when?

>>531270615
Baba is You
Outer Wilds
Return of the Obra Dinn
Superhot
Pathologic 2
Hypnospace Outlaw
Before Your Eyes
Not for Broadcast
Shadows of Doubt
The Vale: Shadow of the Crown

>>531271241
No one here is good enough to post in /pgdg/

>>531270893
This, but unironically. Yall need some soul.

>>531270673
I've been into AI image gen for years and surprisingly I think it has been hitting a kind of plateau recently, local models seem unable to escape 1girl and veering from that doesn't give any good results. Whole internet is absolutely flooded with shitty AI porn images so much so that nobody gives a hoot about any of it anymore, it's all soulless.

Midjourney is one service that does some interesting stuff but it's all still a mishmash of pre-existing art and photography. This means actual drawfags and painters will be fine in the long term because they can actually make interesting poses and compositions that you can't easily make with AI.

>>531271518
why do you lie
it can do multiple people just fine
even the white house uses ai image gen
wouldn't take game dev advice from you with their crap takes

>>531271428
How about aspiring professionals?

>>531271241
It already exists. You just weren't invited.

>>531271241
I prefer the engine splits or the genre splits.

>>531271776
>80% of /agdg/ splits to /m/ for mechadev general

>>531271776
No. Those are amateur concerns. e.g. I'm a godaughter, but I can still answer Unity questions like figuring out how to fix the nuns&guns camera problem.

>>531271776
Agdg is already /unity/ general so I don't see the point of that.
There are like 3 people using godot and 1 person using unreal.

>>531271626
You misunderstand, of course it can do multiple characters (and even then it often requires tools like couple or regional prompter to make them) but that's all it does: characters.

You try to make a background and it will always be a 1 vanishing point corridor. Any composition more intricate and it starts to break down because it's mostly used for gooning and trained on making characters.

>>531271987
What game devs deserve is an entire board around here. 3D, drawing, music and diy get a board, but not game dev?

My eyes hurt, I think I need to take a break from programming.

>Play my game
>Already know everything that the boss can do
>Already retried the boss 10 times to know how to dodge everything
How am I supposed to know if the game is hard or not?

anyone ever get an existential problem of 'what game am I making? What do I want to make? What am I doing? '

I made like 5 ideas that I want to make. I want to make every single one. But I know that I have to pick one.

>>531272550
I'd rather it stay "niche".
Imagine the shitposting and namefagging.
God no.

>>531272657
Wrong, you can pick all of them.

>>531256424
>>531257801
been there done that, im way too experienced as a dev to do shit for free anymore.

>>531272724
How?
I'm listening because I really want to make all of them.

Also I can't just combine them all. Presentation is everything.

>>531272657
make 5 prototypes to start with. shouldn't take more than 3 months.

>>531272657
If you really don't have a preference then pick the one that'll take the least amount of time.
That way once you're done you can work on your next idea.

>>531272798
You start then realize you don’t like the ideas as much as you think you did then move on.

I know I can pick numerous.
I know I can. I was just being dramatic.

I want to make 5 games.

>>531272657
make sure your ideas aren't underdeveloped

>>531272657
you do your research and pick the one that is most suitable for you currently
I did a lot of project hopping before settling on current one which is going well, but I ideally I would like to make 3 different larger titles

>collector2.exe error
why..
i just wanted to use a C file...

>>531272657
the one with the best scope (smallest) to interest ratio
and/or the one which you find the most approachable to making

>>531272657
Im making something thats kind of like Minecraft AND Skyrim
So uhhhhhhhhh
Yeah

Gonna add rewind to Pipedreaming. I'm Jon Blow-maxxing.

>>531273470
That's my idea, back off buddy.

I got 5 ideas.

1. A 3D Platformer.
2. A Daggerfall-like.
3. A nintendogs-like
4. A SimCity like
5. An X4 like.

it's my select catalogue.

>>531273636
if you want popularity (motivation) around here then daggerfall-like

>>531273636
Start with the Pong-like.

>>531273740
I can make that in SDL

>>531273767
>can

>>531273767
Can isn't the same as made.

>>531273740
Seconded

>>531200343
Is the alice game marmoreal or is there another one?

1-9 - play video games
0 - jlmg

I'm thinking of making an arcade golf game but if I add cute anime grills it will give femoids the ick, right?

nintendogs friendslop where both friends try to take care of an unruly dog...

>>531273636
>1. A 3D Platformer.
Such a weak idea that you don't even reference any 3D platformer to base it on
>2. A Daggerfall-like.
Fine.
>3. A nintendogs-like
Are you good at animating and modeling because that's what this is.
>4. A SimCity like
Why?
>5. An X4 like.
What would you do differently?

>>531273636
I say nintendogs-like

Start with a MMORPG Souls-like then work your way backwards.

>>531274152
Nightreign is a flop, do not do this.

>>531273636
a guy spent 9 years remaking Daggerfall in Unity. so no art or creative work, he used Bethesda's assets and it took him 9 years to implement the game in Unity.
so good luck with that.

>>531274249
What a terrible idea in hindsight. He should have just made something like OpenMW. Never tie yourself to a propriety engine.

>>531274025
weeb girls like anime girls. also you just have to make it a dress up fashion game in disguise
see FF14 for example

>>531274201
sold like 5 million copies

>>531274039
3D platformer is based on Conker.

The Simcity like is actually more of a Rimworld-like. If that makes it more understandable.

As for the X4-like, the NPCs in that game are lifeless.

>>531274063
interesting choice

>>531274201
nightreign wasn't a flop nor an MMO thougheverbeit

>>531274249
he probably had a 9-5 yob to be comgletely honest

>>531272650
set the boss speed to 3x, if you can still beat it it's too easy.

>>531274635
>thougheverbeit...

>>531273740
I will NEVER make pong

>>531273636
Easy to hard:
Nintendogs
3d platformer
Sm city
X4
Daggerfall

Least money to most money:
Sim city
3d platformer
Nintendogs
X4
Daggerfall

>>531245801
fixed mindset

>>531274152
mmorpgs are probably the best genre to start with since they teach you a little bit of everything

>>531274950
Coincidentally, you will also NEVER make it.

>>531274736
yeah, either someone supports you or you get a job. it's the same for anons here.

>>531274991
thanks , yeah it's clear the mining crafter sandbox sims are just the ultimate game nowadays.


thanks for the list.

>>531274942
that other anons "comgletely" made me think of that

Learning the hard way that I should always make modular and re-usable components.

Is it possible to build the mega snowball game?

Hear me out here.

You build a large game in such a way where modular pieces of the game can seamlessly be shipped as smaller games along the way.

>>531275325
It's called a sequel.

>>531275150
Im making Tetris and the only way I can get my collect2.exe error to go away is by removing references to the header file. That just fucks up what Im trying to do though.

>>531275325
Yes
Elder scrolls could be broken into:
Thief for AI and stealth
An arena combat game for the first person combat
A dungeon crawler for the dungeons and inventory

Each building on the systems of the last

Is there a reason why menue games are the least discussed games but are the ones that generate the most profits?

If you can't even make Final Fantasy 6 with all the technology available to you, you're ngmi.

>>531274950
>make a pong with a twist
>extra gamblerslop
>much numbers go wow
>roguelite metaprogression
>VS elements thrown in just for giggles
I dunno, maybe you should work on another million dollar idea

>>531276268
I just can't make interesting characters like <girl with amnesia> or <evil clown>

idle click upgrade roguelike where it starts out as pong but then you keep upgrading it and it goes to mario bros then ff7 then world of warcraft

>>531276603
this would actually probably get big like 'dig a hole game'

>>531276603
>put all your points in the DEI tree
>end up evolving into Condord

>>531275150
>t. a fellow hasn't made it nodev

>>531276293
Pong but its bullethell and you can play with friends?
Thanks anon, you just made me my next billion.
