Google promotes small channels.
If youtube worked like steam does you'd go to the front page and ONLY see mr.beast, cocomelon, and T-Series

If imagining me as an ugly fat guy helps you at night then I won't stop you.

Is there a market for edgeslop? I'm making a silly puzzle/mystery game that hates the player and is generally morbid. You're a PI and there's a scene where one of the chapter 2 villains, a racist formosan-tautic (who are basically one of the 4 main races in the near US future: southeast Asian hapa/hispanic mixes living in a large megalopolis, along with hispanic/white mixes, white/east Asian mixes, and black/hispanic mixes) cries about his 4.5 inch penis and you get him fired from his job as an office clerk/AI prompter, and he kills himself

>>531534069
Theme doesn't matter. Gameplay genre matters.

No. NGMI.

>>531533813
Don't worry about me; can't say the same for your poor mother worrying about your CPAP machine failing in the middle of the night. Now, we can keep talking about your zhaba-like appearance, but this is a game development thread and I'd much rather chortle at your lack of any imagination and your inability to create a game.

i have been severely underestimating the significance of music in my games

the default settings are catered for low fidelity graphics. check the "lights and shadows" section of project settings. make sure to enable "advanced settings" in the top right. you may also need to tweak shadow bias for a light if the shadows are misaligned, but this happens in like every engine.

>>531538751
did you vote for an AIPAC owned politician? if so you did it to yourself, this is just because porn websites are bleeding money (most of them are unprofitable) so they're trying to kill the competition, having "risky" themes and impossible situation is the advantage of 2d smut but it's also taking money away from jewish owned porn platforms

can't you try getting a job in gamedev or related to gamedev using your 15 years of games as a portfolio?

I don't want to get doxxed which I would if I posted my games.

But the problem is I'm not getting job interviews. It's as simple as that. Of course I first tried getting gamedev jobs and I have nothing else to put in my resume except the games I made. But the filter is no interviews.

>>531543561
>he doesn't know that it's like that for literally everyone looking for work
So someone who's been making games for the past 16 years has the same chances of getting an interview as someone who's worked for a software company last year? Get real, I'm in a deeper hole than almost anyone here.

>>531547287
Beats animating an entire body.

imagine, in the year of our lord 2025, complaining that some games are like other games

>>531548230
This, but unironically.

Traditionally it was the people with less talent who were out there making indie games because the people with great talent would generally take the safe option and go into the industry. Your competition years ago was just hobbiests. That's changed now since the industry basically doesn't hire westerners anymore. With all the layoffs you're now you're competing with people who have talent and connections.

>Feature added:
Simple collision on carpet furls
>Time taken to implement:
About 2 1/2 minutes
*wipes sweat from forehead*
Phew! A little bit of progress every day adds up fast!

>>531548740
Show me all these so-called people who have talents and connections and their games. As far as I'm aware, they're a boogeyman that doesn't exist. Even if they did, there's no guarantee they'll pump out a successful game.

>>531548740
Some of the people layed off were, a lot of them made dogshit anon

Also, upgrading to Unreal 5.6 gave an immediate 30fps boost in all of my scenes, Nanite/Lumen is truly optimized in 5.6. Fucking insane. Solo devs who stay on the same version are handicapping themselves.

>rendering some ui elements in old programs
this is like the quickest path to ez soul

it is i, gravity-camera anon from a few threads ago and i have a new issue i cannot solve

i have this code thats meant to check for the ground, but it detects the ground too low and causes my character to slowly sink
the obvious fix is to just move the collision sphere higher, but if i do that then it cant detect the ground low enough for slopes.

what do i do in this scenario bwos? help would be very appreciated

sloptopia

My game doesn't have a camera - you see through the eyes of the main character.

>>531550765
i dont know why but i burst out laughing when i read
>detects the ground too low and causes my character to sink

Well at least those paintings are nice.
The hot air balloon looks like a vulva though, yonic even

>>531550948
idk how else to describe it, he stops falling and then starts slowly falling like hes sinking in mud which is obviously very bad, no clue how to fix it though since ground detection needs to be low but if its any higher then it wont work for slopes

>>531550765
common problem
you need to use a raycast

Sketchfab barely even exists anymore.jm

see you fags in 1-2 years, coding is the easy part for me but working with asset slop and prototype shapes is a real snooze in gamedev. In the meantime just going to keep making money in crypto. What about you all? don't tell me you are actually learning art.

this is what you do
have a second invisible ground floating on top of the real ground and use that as a death zone trigger thing to check if the character is whatever

Are you a desk job wagie? You're NGMI. The only viable way to have both a job and work this jobby is to have a primarily physical job, so you can rest your body while you work on your game and then rest your brain at work.

Ignore him, he has the anti-hedonism brainrot where he thinks that you enjoying something and being happy means you are slave to your emotions and not exercising your free will, because having a free will means you do shit you hate doing instead of being "slave to your desires". Yeah, imagine being your own slave and doing what you tell yourself to do, lol.

>>531556081
AI (especially the cheap model you’re interacting with) is always just giving you the "consensus opinion" it doesn’t actually do any figuring itself. Not even when you ask it about (kinda) itself.
Meanwhile the consensus is always that AI will be able to do $HARD_THING in two years at most. So that’s the answer you get.

I've been trying to wrap my head around how to create an infinite corridor.
Don't even know where to begin or how to code this. Any ideas?

>>531557134
'perfect' was the word used by the Anon I responded to.
For me the point is, the animations should be fluid, meaning not include any jitter. I think that’s where AI fails hardest, as even the still images it produces are (still) inconsistent if you look to closely. So how to achieve consistency over 8-12 pictures in a row? Also when you add multiple perspectives to the requirement, you now have 8-12 pictures over 4-16 viewing angles, that should all be consistent with each other. Failures in this regard would also be really, really time-consuming to fix by hand.
I think a way more reasonable workflow for AI would be to, like humans do, first create some kind of 3D model, including animations, and then render that out to sprite-sheets. However for the time being AI fags somehow insist on the "create full product from zero" approach for just about anything. Quality of AI stills would probably also improve if someone taught it to properly draw, for once.

No, I don't think that will work.

Think of a cuboid that keeps extending forward but you can add some randomness to it, some angles.

One round in D&D used to be equivalent to "1 minute of time" so this would be a 5-round stun, not unreasonable.

>>531558882
nobody cares about you if your a solo dev unless your famous or have some type of inbuilt fan base

I’ve been trying to rotate models by Vector3’s rather than Quaternions, am I retarded

>>531548893
that looks more dumb than clipping through it because it's fucking carpet you wouldn't be able to stand on top of it like that

>>531559020
The only video game I know of where you could stun someone for 5 minutes was Dark Age of Camelot.

>>531550765
>>531551613
If you're applying the gravity with physics it shouldn't sink if it's against a collider.

Are you using a spherecast for the ground detection? I'd recommend doing multiple raycasts from different points which would help you figure out an average. You need to start the cast above the bottom of your character and it needs to end below the bottom of your character. That way you can detect slopes. If one of the raycasts misses with a fixed length then it would suggest there's a very sharp slope or the character is on a ledge. Knowing that can be helpful too.

Okay, I will work on my game tomorrow. For real this time.

You only need to suspect it to file a dmca claim. It's used maliciously on youtube all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to blackmail the dev for money by claiming ownership and then went in for the dmca harassment when they didn't pay up.

It's okay bosci anon, you can make it.
Just stick to one small project.

>>531559906
share it with the class

>>531560083
Polymorph breaks on damage, it's just a mez with flavor

>>531559760
Your game is a collection of cum stained drawings and disorganized and cringey worldbuilding notes in a text editor. Sadly this is not what a game is but most of you convince yourselves it is.

>>531560261
True but it was still brutal to get stuck in a sheep that long.

im telling you this is a multi millions dollar game idea without the DEI

>>531560546
what is the idea

>>531560261
game design idea : but what if polymorph didn't break on damage and your forced to be a sheep or a frog or whatever?
did blizzard do damage to the concept of mages?

>>531560546
it would cost a lot to make.

>>531560605
>what if it just prevented you from attacking for the full duration even when taking damage
then it'd be a stun with flavor?

>>531560083
your trinket? didn't mage used to get 2 shot back then before frost armor and such, that's probably why it was balanced like that, I miss being a kid and play rpm in arena..

>>531560710
>use trinket
>it goes on cooldown
>mage sheeps you again
Pretty sure back then the cooldown was 5 minutes, not the 2 or whatever it got shortened to later on. And what your trinket could remove depended on the class.

>>531560586
biome based biopunk survival craft

>>531560708
nah you could give them moves like angry gnaw or super hop
the frog or sheep doesn't need to be weak and the spell should really just be more disorienting then anything
i know if i were turned into a sheep i would start biting

>>531560546
don't worry I was planning on making a game set later in my games timeline like that after the first two sequels so I'll get to it when I'm about 50 or 60

>>531560990
nobody would cast the spell then...? why would you waste a gcd casting a spell that doesn't actually shift the fight in your favor...? every gcd has an opportunity cost and in your scenario you'd be better off just casting a snare or a root or even just damage

# of steam reviews?
that's what I thought. nodev baldcel.

I spent the last 12 years working on what was supposed to be the greatest coomer game of all time - Incest Slave

i'm fucking ruined

Added parry, each weapon will have a unique defensive option (parry is one of the weapons), parry cost sp, sp gained by combo, when enemy is knocked you can do a high dmg combo.

Struggling quite a bit these days trying to add layers to combat, I want players to feel like they are doing cool stuffs rather than the game doing the cool stuffs for them you know? :-<

Black Souls is one of the greatest games I've ever played and it's a lewd game.
Not like it matters, these ero games always have patches that you install from the dev's website, not that any anons complaining about lewd games actually PLAY these games.

>>531565821

>>531564158
well the name "earthbound" came before the game, when localizing mother 1. so actually people don't know what the name means.

>>531566024
>localizing mother 1.
no sexhaver knows what this means.

>>531565845
cool stuff. what about a grab when knocked... these games never have grabs, soul calibur has a lot of grabs...

>>531566024
Did you enjoy deltarune?
Personally the entire watercooler fight felt more 'Earthbound' than anything else actually in Earthbound.

>>531564403
mado get out, that black girl tanisha or whatever, close enough, rejected your game already. nothing has changed.

>>531565561
"Micropublisher" is what you’re after
I guess having a good prototype and going
>I just need 2k to work on this for another year
can be a reasonable pitch.
Prototype should have at least one DD win under its belt

>>531566106
I only played the free chapters, I don't know about the new ones but I did like those, although the main earthboundy thing it didn't have was the vibe and humour of the world. EB was probably one of the funniest games I played, because not alot of games are funny at all.

>game revolves about an adult man protecting a little girl companion
>after the game there's a 15 year time skip where both are now married and have children
would this be problematic?

>>531566093
I tried that, the initial version is that when enemy is 10% hp you can grab and execute it, it gets old really fast and it's kinda awkward when facing multiple enemies, i'll checkout how soul calibur does it

modern fantasy doesn't have fantasy races, just humans with horns and green/red skin

I've been thinking about first person melee for my game lately and I really am not sure how best to approach it. I want RPG aspects to play in it but also avoid being too RPG where you miss all the time because of % chance and it's just ass.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/d42hq27UjbY
Here's a short that shows sort of both the good and bad from Daggerfall. Speed stat affects gameplay and enables skillful gameplay but at the same time it often boils down to a lot of backpedaling. Of course usually you don't meet such a horde of enemies like in that short.

Having enemies go into recovery when hit seems like an obvious thing to include. You can even play with it by different weapons and/or attacks having different amounts of stagger and some enemies maybe taking more to get interrupted. I think the enemies also need a clear indicator when they're going to attack. It is annoying to get hit by something you didn't see coming even if the enemy was in your view.

TLDR how do I make first person melee combat feel good?

>>531568392

What do? Upgrades?

Threadly reminder that even gamedev success can be a trap.
Imagine your game earns you 10 years of income. Would you quit your job and start making games full time? If so, you'd have fallen into the same trap I did.
The crux of the trap is the time you spend as a gamedev will count against you if ever need to get a job again. And the ironic thing is the more successful you are, the more dangerous the trap will be unless you earn enough money to never need a job again.
The only way full-time gamedev would be sustainable is if your games keep earning you at least a year of expenses for every year worked... until you're literally 75. And I do mean literally. When you're 72, you'll need to sit down and make a game that earns you 3 years of expenses. Anything short of that and you'll eventually run out of money. And when you do, you'd have been 10-15-20 years out of the job market and good luck getting a job with an employment gap that big.
When you run out of money, it can take as little as a couple of months for your life to be ruined. That's what happened to me. I found myself broke at 45 and no job for the past 15 years except making games. And I'm looking at 30 more years of having to survive. I can't get job interviews, I can't afford to keep working on games, and I'm too old to get into trades. My life is probably fucked because my first project earned me 10 years of income and I quit my job like a dumb ass.
Anyway, the point of this is to warn you: DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOBS UNLESS YOU EARNED ENOUGH MONEY TO NEVER NEED A JOB AGAIN. If my warning saves even a couple of you, it's worth it.

>but why didn't you invest your money and live off your investments you idiot?
The average return on an investment portfolio is around 10%... before capital gains tax (10-20%) and inflation (2-5%). And you're not going to get your money as a lump sum but over months or even years. Do the math.

>>531568947

To get fog you have to blend the fragment color with the color of the skybox based on distance. You can see this very clearly in this frame of the video you posted. Instead of being its normal, selfshadowed color, the asteroid is the same color as the background. It looks like somebody took a brush and painted the color of the background over the asteroid.

what would that be? cut off your dick so that you can't goon?

I noticed one restriction with traditional engines like godot that felt like it restricted the way i structure and code things which is that, the rendering is entirey code-less, and is done at its own stage, where the update comes before.
So you cannot exactly choose what to render at render-time, like I could have some buttons to click and let's say I wanted to show only available options, in godot I'd have to go and hide all the unavailable options, then let godot draw the rest.
However if it wasn't structured like that, in my button_draw code, I could check against my I don't know list of unavailable buttons and not render that one button if it was in the list. So, I don't have to hide() or show() anything, i don't set any state like that, I just choose to draw or not.

If you don't care about making it localized, then just ordinary fog will work like in pic related. Add some particle clouds you fly by and it's still to this day a really convincing effect. If you need to make it localized, as in a dust cloud only in one specific part of the field, that's a lot more complicated and there aren't really any great (i.e. easy) answers to that question.

am i an enginedev if I make a game without an engine in javascript?

It's the only way to do it unless you want to rewrite all the camera functions in rcamera.h. That's not as bad as it sounds since it's only 500 lines, but anons solution is way simpler.

I do actually, but I'm gonna make it, you'll see

>>531583160
You don’t need to. Look at Balatro and Binding of Isaac.

>>531582748
You definitely need an artist who vibes with it. Can't just copy generic designs like you can for fantasy. Assuming you can't do the art yourself.

>>531583676
actually that's a good idea to make something like Binding of Isaac

>>531583648
maybe if you could do the art but right now you're making an asset flip fps with AI generated code

Do you have to announce your game with some direct event these days? It seems like that's the biggest accelerator for a Steam page launch/announcement trailer, and there are more and more direct events each year it seems. Are even the smaller ones better than nothing for a little bit of initial wishlist traffic to your Steam page?

>>531583730

>>531589559
I tried playing this game so many fucking times but I lost and lost and lost. It's super unbalanced and unfair. Phantasy star 2 it is.
Like, at some point it forced me to fight some enemies that suck as much HP from me as I deal to them, literally equivalent to hitting myself. It was a battle I couldn't win.

Bro, I had the idea of making a game that's like a perfect city, where everything goes well, there's no suffering or illness, and you can walk around without anything major happening. But there's a shop in the center that you can talk to in order to get a weapon to kill the NPCs.

So it would be more like a personal reflection of mine on why violence is necessary in a game, and a way to do philosophy through a game.

The message would be more about the player's choice: to walk through the city without doing anything, or to go to the shop and get a weapon to fight. But in the end, it's going to be an optional decision.

>>531590948
have you considered that players 99% of the time will go kill npcs because there's literally nothing else to do in the game? games set up certain expectations to the player implicitly and trying to convince players to drop those expectations is simply not correct to do

I want to fund my game somehow
I want to kickstart it, get investors, whatever
just let me dev for money and I will dev. I will eat good like Peter Molyneux

>>531589397
Bestselling pixel art games like Terraria and Stardew Valley use them. Don't be an autists.

Just imagine, you're in the business of video games, you create games, the money flows where it has to, you create beautifull games

Life's good.

What kind of genre should I choose for a game based on these last-few-days inspirations? CYOA, walking simulator, horror?

- Islamist government official forces and militias; Druze; and Sunni Bedouin Arabs; ethnically cleanse or directly genocide each other.
- Civilians, men, women, children, murdered in their own homes, remains desecrated. Perpetrators, in particular Islamists (the ones that didn't get the repeated, official memo of "no videos"), take videos of their own war crimes, including torture and executions of civilians.
- Israel laughs manically while they take territory and reap the rewards of what they spent years orchestrating.
- /vg/ whores frantically censor and cover up anything that goes against their narratives while engaging in all the politics they want.

Would the horror angle work best here? Given all the many horrifying videos on the internet circulating right now, how close or far away from reality should the stories in the game go?

Any good game or Unity template that could be used or reskinned?

>>531590948
Make a game about the war crimes and genocides going on in Syria right now. You could even make it as a visual novel. Do it quickly enough, and take the right decisions, and maybe it could blow up.

>>531590948
scope down. it's just a single room with a dev working on his game, you enter the room and there's a gun on the table.

The one that generates 256 generic waifus with weird skeletal hips

>>531590531

>>531591649
wtf bro

>>531590842
Not all publishers are complete satanspawn looking out to screw you. Just don't be desperate when signing a deal, that's literally it. In any trade, the one who's in a hurry is the one who trades at a loss.

>>531591860
They're called "grindy" games. And I don't really like them.

>>531591649

Anon what the hell are you talking about, if I got a (good) publisher I'd get money to afford more months of working on the game without having to make money on the side to pay rent, I'd be able to afford better artists or musicians to fit my vision of the game, localizers, etc.
It's exactly because I believe my game will be successful that I know it will bring enough profit to pay back everything I borrow.

What good is money if you got the numale triad going

I don't want to animate enemy sprites. It's too hard. If I copy Final Fantasy's vibe and anime the player characters will the players let me off the hook for not animating the enemies? I.. it's nostalgic.. just like in FF VI...

>>531595465
if you think competition for games is hard, you have no idea how hard it is for apps.
at least when a player finishes a game, he looks for a sequel or more games in the same genre. when someone finds an app they like, they stick with it.

Why are people making HTML5 games?

>>531596519
Sprites don't need to be animated with multiple frames, but they shouldn't be just static. A few swishes and squashes and shakes go a long away.

>>531595465
That video is basically worthless because he doesn't do a breakdown of any sort. We don't know how he made his money. How he monetized the apps. How many apps did he have that made the majority of his supposed 800k.

It tells you to approach it a certain way without backing up the claim that it works.

>>531596657
Phaser uses Javascript

>>531596714
I have some procedural hit and attack animations, but I've thus far drawn idle animations frame by frame. To be honest, I realized that I vastly overscoped, and that I need to somehow cut down on the amount of work or I won't ever finish this thing.

>>531597108
yeah, HTML5 games are Javascript games presented in HTML5.
HTML is a markup language, it doesn't have any logic so you can't code a game in it.

>hurr you must write good clean code
>write GDD's
>OOP
>..and many more
NIGGA, I just make games, just give me a job for fucks sake

I'm not smart, I never was, I don't know how to code, I don't know anything to be honest, I'm a total hack.

>>531597668
If you want a job, you need to know how to communicate with all type of people, including midwit talentless assholes. And the easiest way to do that, is to write a documentation, because midwits like to cut people when they speak, but they cannot cut a paper's wording when they read it. And since they are pretentious, you need to know OOP so you can write complicated technical words

Hence the GDD and OOP. Its literally just soft politic

Finally got raylib working nicely with a separate 3rd party physics engine. I had all kinds of problems with scaling, through trial and error I concluded I shouldn't touch the physics side scaling because default is optimized, so I just #defined a PIXELS_PER_UNIT variable, scaled my sprites with that and called it a day.

First, last year he fucked up in a livestream playing WoW hardcore and some of his teammates died, he refused to accept any responsibility

Then he opposed stop killing games which is fine if you disagree but his reasoning was completely retarded and he misrepresented the whole thing to his audience.

Since then people have been combing through everything he's said to find contradictions and bullshit, and shits coming out of the woodwork because it turns out he lied about or embellished a lot of stuff.

He's an arrogant narcissist incapable of admitting fault. Basically like 99% of agdg, so if any of you ever have the misfortune of becoming famous and being retarded enough to start running your mouth publicly, then you're on a ticking clock until the same thing happens to you
