Coom games are kill.
The safe horny era has begun.
the reality is that the indie market collapsed into a homogeneous monopoly where people play the same 5 games so tricking people with evil methods like skinnerbox gambling is the only way to get players
when was the last time a non gambling, non skinnerbox indie game blew
i was supposed to escape the 9-5 grind
>>531626461you have to make a game you would play. Just how unique do you think your tastes are?

what the f*ck...
>>531635479nice reddit meme, do you even have anything original to say or do you just spout [in-group thing]? gamedev is not for the likes of you you're not a leader but a follower, leave vile troon
Dear aggydaggy,
I found Nvidia's thingy
https://github.com/NVIDIA/warp
It's under Apache 2.0
Only checked out fluid and waves and let me tell you, it's pretty nice looking. It does weight 4.5GB but I did request a lot of frames.
>>531636778Sorry but you are a bit too late, p2025 just cancelled porn games...
>>531636778why the fuck is it always python
>>531635630i downloaded a godot MIT license asset to generate ropes at runtime from this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hXNkVEJu10 to make the ropes with physics themselves. it mainly seems used for making puzzles and not any action or parkour and had no built in features for grabbing on to it. to create the attachment to the player i calculate which segment is closest to the player when they interact and teleport the player to it with an offset, create a joint between the rope and the player with the rotation linearly and axis rotation locked so the player rotating doesn't make the rope rotate and bug out, turn off the players gravity and movement and keep them moving to the segment they are supposed to be at each update frame so when the rope moves they stay attached to it. to move up/down I change the target segment and lerp the players position toward it, and then the target segment becomes the current segment when you are close enough to it.
to make the rope swing i get a vector of the players movement direction based on your camera view direction and use that to add an impulse to the current rope segment you are attached to. when letting go i give the player the current velocity of the rope segment you were attached to multiplied by a small bonus
>>531637671Python is the #1 most popular programming language.
look at that low resolution texture
look at that low resolution lightmap
it's soul personified
>>531638001no, that's javascript. python is #2
also it's really bad and nobody should use it, especially for games
how can one even be sure that their own compiler is optimized?
is your game being slowed by shitty devs from the 2000s?
>>531638215JavaScript wins if you add it together with TypeScript, but Python is well ahead if you consider them separate.
https://madnight.github.io/githut/
>>531635572They have business emails that you email. If you're just starting out then you hand out steam codes to everyone. Please look up examples before you try this yourself.
>>531638512He's gone to a better place.
>>531637671On the upside, if you've got CUDA supporting GPU, examples work out of the box, and quite fast at that too. Rare in this world.
literally everything and i truly mean every single thing, from collections of galaxies, to the smallest molecules of air, exists to hurt me in some way and prolong my pain
>>531638756why would you consider typescript and javascript separate? it's the same language. that's copium
>>531639046im going to be honest instead of larping which is a rare virtue these days: idk wtf any of this means. but i do know that using any other language would be better. preferably a statically typed one without a fucked up environment/package manager
>>531639228>idk wtf any of this means. but i do know that using any other language would be better.
post soul for inspiration
>>531639158if you walked out into the wilderness and saw a lion it would try to kill you and that would hurt you but it would not prolong your pain it would end it so what do you have to say about that huh?
>>531639228Glad you're not larping. Main reason they're using Python is that all of those little models are made by machine learning crowd. Machine learning crowd likes python.
>>531639538?
dunning kruger would be me thinking i know everything and smartest man alive
i just told you that i don't know anything about cuda
im on the slope of enlightenment
enlightenment that python is shit and all of its perceived positives like "simplicity" are lies
>>531639589love that game.
>>531639679oh yeah that makes sense. machine learning dudes do love their python
sucks because im not touching the evil snake and want to fuck with machine learning. My only solace is that there's a substantial amount of javascript in there too with transformers.js
>>531638025>Texture filtering

>>5316299821. Take a reference. Movies, older games, anything.
2. Copy and mix their color pattern.
3. Make everything have feedback when you do anything to it. Example, bullet shell drops with sfxs, sunlight blinds the player a bit, explosion in a room makes the room a bit misty/foggy from the smoke, ect
And THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
4. TONE DOWN your saturation. Soulful games have specific color tones. Making it brighter wont make it better
Here for example, above is BF 1 and below is BF 5. Which of these two image look like it happen during a chaotic battle?
>>531639716Yeah keep telling yourself that lmao. You've already peaked. There's nothing left for you to learn.

>>531627154>Bokube, 3D>Marmoreal, 3D>Ctesiphon, 3DYou might be onto something, but 2D games are also in the 5 year range.

>>531640558Thomas Brush will interview me and we will have a fun time talking.
He will say 'Gangbusters' and drink from his gallon of water.
>>531642717>>531643095>>531643196Is it sovl to have all the different species and subraces in your game have their own different languages you can learn? Im trying to implement a system that can do that.
>>531643720yeah that's sovlful.
I think I'll have that too.
Is it cringe to release games for free and hope to survive off itch donations and patronstar gibs? Is this a good strategy to deter indie hypercommercialism and defeat the eternal proto usurped faux indie nepocaananite ophitic hibernian masonic grift tuber?
>>531644164the value for value model doesn't work when your audience is hordes of basement dwellers who have never had more than $200 in their bank account at one time
>>531643852A lot of it is still in the design stage, but Im planning to give distinct groups their own procedurally generated language, or a modified version of a more common language (think Russian VS Ukrainian), with the goal of hopefully having every NPC belonging to said group speak it fluently in dialogue, and have "full" books written in it.
every day I'm grateful not I'm not in this for the money
>>531644164yes. true chad anticommercialism is lgpl-ing the engine and selling the assets like a virtual cartridge.
im actually just a failure in every way possible
>>531644550you sound like you're making a similar game to my game!
I am sick of pixel art games.
I don't load up Unity for three months and it crashes when I close it out.
>>531645039I'm making 3D Daggerfall x Dwarf Fortress
I'm glad all these 3D Dwarf Fortress Daggerfall-likes are going to have a different tonality to them.
Remember, we may all be making it, but we'll have our own unique flavors. Different settings, etc.
>>531644793>>531644992>>531645092are we finally done with the games-as-a-commercial-product era and moving back to the games-as-a-self-satisfying-vanity-project era?
>>531645165>>531645345you guys have anything to show for it so far
>>531645362if I was just in this for the money, I would be making a WAY smaller game. I'd be machine gunning it. I'd be making a bunch of small games.
Especially friendslop.
Friendslop idea, for anyone to take since I'm making my passion dream game;
Nintendogs friendslop. You take care of a goblin or gremlin or kobold with your friends.
another idea;
Horror game friendslop. One friend is the monster. Rest of your friends are the victims. The monster is a bunny rabbit man.
>>531645362>games-as-a-self-satisfying-vanity-project era?i never thought about it like that... holy shit
i can just make something for fun, to express myself artistically and creatively, and share it with other people
making a couple bucks off it give or take is just a little bonus...
Finally arrived at a design for this game that I can work with. Place card on stack or discard it, tinder style. Then each card gets evaluated based on your items (not in the game yet). Like if it's sorted, get points, if it has adjacents of a specific suit, get points etc. Already thought of a name: Queue Queen
>>531535275>here's why my soulless, passionless bootcamp-tier "game" that took me two years to make failed and why your game will fail toothese sorts of videos need to be studied, no way these people aren't subconsciously aware of what they are doing
>>531645519I'm still making the engine but once I have some good stuff to show, I'll be posting Plogs and Devlogs about it.
>>531645737>>531645839Not to worry dear friends. Im still in the "follow tutorials to learn C++" phase of production myself.
>>531645759I think it is from being too immersed in the culture of the indie dev hustle community.
They're a different breed.
>>531645839you said that last year
>>531645839Do you have anything to show for the engine albeit?
>>531646013well at least I'm not posting painfully tedious incremental progress. I know I need to post things that look like actual progress.
If I do not acknowledge my mistakes, then I set the bar low. If I admit I was wrong , then I have no limits. Tomorrow could be 100x better.
Free friendslop idea
Sports game where you play as a team in some kind of sport, progressing through a championship where your adversaries get increasingly more difficult and cartoon villian-esque, requiring increasingly wacky tactics to defeat them (i.e. stacking on top of eachother to throw the ball past an enemy that's 20 feet tall)
Okay, I needed an entire day to port this from my 2D character to my 3D character.
>>531645992good luck. I'm making mine in Vulkan and C.
>>531646216I made an oath not to show anything until I am ready to show something good. I'm closing in on that milestone. I have to keep to my word.
make pacifica great agaain
>>531627464That was Tim Allen.
friendslop idea
you both play as busty anime girls and kiss and the boobs touch
>>531646740Im making mine using Raylib and C/C++. The project started out (and really is) supposed to be a Minecraft clone with realistic weather patterns, and some sloped terrain (I like the janky look). If I ever end up doing it, improving the look/feel of the natural environment comes after that, and then Ill start working on the NPC civilizations. Somewhere in there I also want to add magic and supernatural elements. Its all fantasy till it happens though.
>>531646667cris just please keep working at one game and it might build up into something playable
>>531647348that is good. seems /agdg/ is going to get titan 3D Dwarf Fortress likes soon. We'll be Titan devs.
The Golden Age is coming.
May your NPCs simulate beautifully, my brother in simulation.
>>531647556I am making a framework to make games, so I can easily later make any idea.
>>531647656Itll take such a monumentally long time to actually accomplish the 3rd step (NPC civilizations) that I cant say for certain whether Ill actually complete it. The game probably wont get very far off the ground either because voxel pick/place terrain worlds are all seen as a ripoff of Minecraft (and typically rightfully so), and usually have horrific problems with lag. However, if Im able to implement it, it will probably be the coolest thing that I personally will have ever played, and I will make the source code available so that people can edit and have fun with it, while also selling it for cheap/free.
My advice as a Noobdev to an Almostdev is to not fantasize too much about things like this, because you usually spend too much time in the "planning" (fantasizing/jerking off phase) and not enough in the doing/learning/finding another hobby phase.
>>531648318I found that getting a particular idea of what used to be a vague 3D Dwarf Fortress idea actually made me more excited to make the game.
I can see it in my mind now, and there's just nothing else to do. I have to see this become a reality. There is no other thing. It's this, then the Apocalypse.
Good luck with yours.
>>531648632If you want to chat some more Im just procrastinating taking an online test.
I would like to hear more of your ideas on your game.
I'm making my game better for no reason.
no one told me fog of war was such a pain in the ass (to do properly, anyway)
its all done with shaders so the cpu doesnt burn itself trying to write to a giant mask
>>531649916Ive always preferred Zomboid style where you can still see whats behind you, except for whatevers moving
>PS5 store full of worthless slop
>yet somehow I need to put down thousands of dollars and sign my life away to port my game to PS5

Have you ever had a day where all you could do is sleep?
feeling so tired for some reason
Wanting to make your dream game is self-torture. Think about it. You could be making a way easier game that makes way more money, yet you work on a game you'll never finish, that gives you burnout and that wont even sell well.
Dreams are relentless, they don't care about your budget, time, energy or skills. Dreams are more like "dude just make a skyrim, i don't care if you are broke, alone and burnt out, I WANT SKYRIM 2".
Dreams are like a spoiled child dictating what you make.
Keep in mind, your dreams can be like a demon. What matters is your health and well-being, your stable finances. Your game can be like a parasite leeching off of your energy. Like a mental virus. And worst case it doesn't even make money and drained all your savings.
I don't know, maybe someone can convince me otherwise. But I see something fundamentally wrong with chasing your dreams. Maybe just play the games that come close to your dream and try to satisfy your inner demon like that. And then work on a game with a more open-minded chill mindset, where you allow compromises and scope.
That means you can still make a cool game that could be a hit, but it means the game will be its own thing, designed within your constraints. And not a dream that disrespects all your boundaries and limitations.
>>531650728I will eventually make Skyrim 2, but after I climb my way up by selling smaller games to sustain a studio.
>>531650216They already paid that once which allows them to spam, companies really only care if you are a company have have a complete product
>>531650728almost any piece of noteworthy media made by an individual was built on the back of ages of self-torture, profitable or not. this mindset is how you die achieving nothing but failed supermarket shelf stocking simulator asset flip games because they were less taxing on your 'muh time and money'
>>531651298Ravenfield... but with anime girls
Progress:
> A save file is created and assigned when you start a new game.
> You can have up to 8 characters, meaning 8 save slots.
> Each character has one save slot.
> If you try to start a new game while all 8 slots are in use, a pop-up will ask you to delete an existing save.
Next: Implement save slot deletion

The most important skill a dev can learn is mind reading. Since retards on steam like to whine about nothing, you must learn to learn their mind to understand what they want.

Given players' modern day attention spans and expectations for constant action, do you think people would still be interested in playing a classic point and click adventure game? Please say yes.
>>531657278What like Disco Elysium?
>>531657278I doubt most players would want to play that but personally, for me, when it comes to my taste... no
>>531657278You just need to have a fun soundtrack and cool stuff to click on
>>531657386Disco Elysium is a CRPG. I mean like the Monkey Island games.
>>531657436ok...
>>531653827why do you need to do that? in primitive cultures you just enjoy life and make babies with cute women and have fun with the bros. you dont need to flex with your cool art in front of others because there's nothing to gain from your mentally ill approach to impress others.
>>531657278Don't expect a big audience but horror P&C will always do decent if it looks good
>>531657535>you just enjoy life and make babies with cute women and have fun with the bros
>>531657535Lil bro do you actually beleive that primative cultures have no social hierarchy and the men don't "flex" on each other? Because there is no evidence that a human society like that has ever existed.
my game only needs to make me half a million dollars (after taxes and steam's cut) and then I can buy a decent house in my country and start all over again
>>531657278if the premise is interesting enough, mechanically deep enough, and with a cool art direction, i don't see why not. the turn-off for most point and click adventures is them being a product of their time with how shallow and rudimentary they were.
>>531650728Making a dream game that nobody else wants is not the path to a fulfilling life. Most people who pursue their dream games don't consider others, and are then surprised when it flops.
Red goats in the yellow circle
i'm deeply unsatisfied with the games the market offers me, yet i also can't do it better.
it's not the quality of the games, but that they are always not what i'm looking for.
>>531658520Sorry to hear that.
>>531658520what is preventing you from doing it better
if you make some fat incel chungus life excuse i'm reaching through the screen and chopping your fingers off
>>531658520Maybe you're not looking for a game and you instead need to address some issues in your life.
>>531658514not trying to sound like a doomer, but nobody really knows what the world needs anymore.
in the scene pic related momos gets flooded with toys, yet what she really wants is getting her friends back.
>>531658783i can only address issues in my life after my game has made me rich
>>531657278https://store.steampowered.com/app/1155970/Roadwarden/
If this can get over 3000 reviews then a well executed point and click can do OK.
I played it for a bit thinking it'd be fun but it's impossible to make any kind of informed choice. You just have to pick random options until you find the one that progresses the plot without killing you
none of you fuckers would have come up with schedule 1, yet you always talk like being an idea guy is useless. seriously man the more games exist, the more important being an idea guy becomes. you don't need a 140 IQ ceo when you are the only bakery in town, you only need one when you have 20 bakeries in town.

Making a game that the world "needs" is probably a big ask. But you can aim for 3 out of 4 circles and be doing pretty well.
>>531659450if ikigai is real then according to its own definition all 4 circles need to overlap or it doesn't work.

>>531659020Anyone who gets into gamedev to get rich is retarded. Literally any other avenue will be better. Make an enterprise HR SaaS suite instead or learn a skill and then sell courses online. Gamedev isnt about making money
>>531658240>>531659196Thanks for the hopium. Maybe I won't give up after all.
I really don't understand programming no matter how hard I try so I thought making a point and click could actually be an attainable goal.
>>531659641Yes but ending up in the "satisfaction but feeling useless" zone is a pretty good outcome. Go volunteer at a soup kitchen on the weekends if you want the other circle, you won't find it in gamedev.
i cannot think of anything meaningful you could create with programming. there's a website for everything, a game for everything, software for everything. nobody needs anything anymore.
what everybody needs is money. but i can't sell money.

>>531661893ultrawide monitors are a grim way in learning how few games support it, either cropping the image giving you LESS information, having the UI break, or outright not letting you use it at all by letterboxing it to 16:9 OR EVEN FUCKING STRETCHING IT TO FILL WHY GOD WHY
>>531661893I went from 1x ultrawide to 3x 16:9 and it was one of the worst decisions I made with this setup. I'd rather go down to 1x 16:9.

Aiming for ps2 visuals is interesting.
Like it's very easy to make it look too good.
So you're purposefully lowering texture resolution and decimating shit
>>531662507It's only like $200. That's pennies to the profit you'll make when your game succeeds anon.
This is freaking impossible, trying to tile baked PBR textures just doesn't work and texel density is going to be shit unless I use like 150MB just for the walls.

Do big (and small) studios pay someone to make them fonts or do they do that in-house?
>>531664367Most big studios license adobe fonts because making fonts that support a variety of different languages is a pain in the ass.
Adobe fonts get pretty pricey though so I wouldn't recommend it.

am i the only AI bros in here? i need to make money so i only use free version of chatgpt and claude and gemini to buypass the limits
>>531664367No. Not even the largest studios in gaming are making their own typefaces in house. The only exceptions are when a game has a very stylized look and the devs want something to match it, like the Team Fortress font. I know for a fact that all of the lettering in Hearthstone, which on the surface looks fairly unique, is a font you can get for free on the internet.
>>531664367There is almost no reason to make fonts yourself. What do you want to make fonts for?
>>531664576Back in my day, you used to use copilot. Kids these days donโt know the experience.
>>531664780Copilot? Half my game is straight out of Quora and Stack Overflow!
>>531664349No he can't, stop with this hugbox faggotry. Not just any retard with a computer can be a gamedev, it's highly skill-intensive and the only way to develop all the skills needed to make a decent game is to have been plugging away at this shit since you were a teenager out of sheer passion. You make games because you've always made games. It's what you do. It's part of you.

>>531664724>>531664571>>531664761I was wondering how Nintendo and other companies do it but then I realized they pretty much only make the logo a singular typeface and the rest of the text in-game is a fairly normal font... likely for readability reasons and translation constraints.

Because we are talking about vibe coding...
I was inspired by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OxBv9Q7Uxo
So I tested out vibe coding a virtual version of a single player board game I enjoy. It worked pretty well, I think I can have the game mostly replicated with another hour or two of prompting.

I'm starting to think that the best way of judging whether a game will succeed is to see whether its funny even with super simple and stupid graphics.
Just make it a bunch of stick figures and developer art, you don't need more than that to judge it.
Is it very fun to play even in that form? Good. If not, it needs a better gameplay loop or some other/more cool mechanics.
How do you guys test whether a game idea is good? Surely you don't just go for it without prototyping and making sure it'll actually work, right?
>>531685135ive spent too long in my head fleshing out the lore and worldbuilding, i have to make the game itself work or else i'm killing myself
>>531662170What the fuck were they thinking. This is one of those games that I struggle to understand how it got from concept stage to finish without anyone stopping to ask why are they making it.
>their latest gameNo, it's the same publisher and the usual steam dev links fucking up and going to the publisher's page.

>>531685962You'll get a buy, but you'll also get a negative review so it's a win-win.
>>531683476>character will be floatingWhy could that be. Look at your own picture. What do you see?
>>531685931You are such a fucking man whore
>>531685962yeah but ideally you should check the translations with someone who speaks the language at least once before shipping them. usually with ai translator tools you can export a script with all the lines for easy review. there are plenty of people around the globe sitting on places like d*scord or /int/ with their thumbs up their asses with nothing better to do, use whatever free labor you can.
>>531685962Just use a service to wash the AI translation lmao.

It is scary how good my game idea is.
I want to have a stack-allocated struct of arrays of stack-allocated structs in C. I don't want constructor functions or anything dynamic in these, I want to be able to just create the struct and define what I need via assignments.
Is it a bad idea to make the sub-structs have a "is_null" or some field that I use to check where the array ends? This way I could set mystruct.substructarray[2].is_null = 1 to "end" the array, even though the array would reserve 10 substructarrays?
>>531686332Dev, game dev, tech in general
>>531686578this is all true, except I don't use AI to code, sometimes to debug and refactor however
>>531686658no, but I am a software engineer and before that I was a project manager
>>531686616First rule of game dev in this day and age is that you don't use C. Use something garbage collected. C# being the gold standard.
>>531686616For that you will have to use pointers, you cant have structs of arrays of structs on the stack even if using alloca unless you do the entire lot all in one go and mosify the source code to change it, or you use pointers to in the parent to point to the children
Then if you want to dynamically increment it you might have arrays of pointers to structs then you can use a null pointer in the end to denote the end of the list and interate like while(*(ptr++)){ptr->stuff}
But i think it is better to do it in one go and have a size member so you can use for loops
If it is not dynamic then you can use sizeof operator to automatically know by taking sizeof array field / sizeof struct type as tour length then for loops it, you might like that
>>531629982is that black?
didnt remember those gun porn gooners put the ejector on the left of the gun to spray casing all over the screen
>>531686781I have no problems with C, only minor inconveniences like this one. I'm refactoring my code to be easier to use, before I used my dynamic vector module for this.
>>531687049Why couldn't I? What? Shouldn't pic related work just fine? I mostly use dynamic memory, but for this one I'd rather have it on stack if possible. I very rarely do structs like this if at all, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
>>531687049>>531686616Ok, it is a waste of space to put an in use / end of list flag in wvery single array just for something you will only use in one slot at any given point in time.
Having a size variable besides the array in the parent struct lets you keep it in one place and makes a fast for loop that can also openmp parallel because it has a known length when starting the loop. But the issue is if you free a middle one you have to shift all the later ones down, and that will break pointer references to themโฆ.
>>531687374Oh and by stack I mean just initializing that whole struct on stack, instead of using malloc. This shouldn't prevent using malloc for it, though.
>>531687521>Having a size variable besides the array in the parent struct lets you keep it in one placeThis is what I do 99% of the time, I have my own simple std::vector -style container module for this very reason. Anyways, these structs I want to be able to init with as-little-code as possible, out of convenience and the fact that then I wouldn't have to free(asd) them.
>>531687374Yeah that should be fine however i recommend you instance it at global scope not on the stack as you might blow out the stack size if your arraysize defines become too big and get a stack overflow, whereas having ot at global scope in the .bss segment can handle any size AFAIK, also might be 1 bit faster as the asm should have less indirection for memory accesses? Probably if your items have coordinates then always pricess them all and early clip based on coords and remove an item by placing it outside the map/clipmask that way you wont have as much of a slowdown when the list is full because it is doing it all the time rather than only when it is full, which might make the framer-rate more stable, even if slower on averageโฆ
>>531687358typically most guns have ejectors on the right so you dont catch hot brass on your forearm or have casing bouncing around in your vision
black devs definitely did it for effect though
>>531688053That makes sense. Kek

How the fuck does steam still not have bullet heaven or incremental as tags for games?
>>531688653Incremental isn't a real defined term and neither is bullet heaven/hell. Incremental is broken up into idlers, clickers and management. Shoot'em Up is broken in themes.
>>531687081a lot of old games did that for some reason
>>531688513I know you're joking but there's the occasional gun where you can swap the side it ejects to
>had to cancel my mmo project because of Start Killing Developers passing
it's so over...
>>531688739Much like roguelite, incremental is a rough set of ideas that connects games. There's incremental games that aren't idlers or clickers. Management is such a generic term that it is hardly useful. Incremental needs to be a tag so someone looking for incremental games can find them. Same for bullet heaven.
Shoot'em up is one of those meaningless genre specifications that is used so randomly it doesn't mean anything anymore. Bullet heaven is a distinct sub genre and there's enough of them on steam that it should be a tag. Bullet hell is a tag.
The tag system's purpose is to help people find games they want to play. Missing tags that are this relevant to the gaming meta is retarded.
i uploaded my game to itch

If you really care, post about it on bigger social media platforms and get everyone on board.

Iโve figured out that a crapple application is just a folder, like an regular ass directory, that mac doesn't let you go inside of and pretends it is an exe file, so when you run an app you are actually running a folder. So iโve made the windows .zip file download a folder that is a mac exe folder (with the mac exe stuff hidden away inside subfolders) but then when you open the unzip folder the windows .exe is rigjt there like normal, and i don't embed the .pck but leave it as a separate file so that both windows and mac and linux share the same data file
All you have to do is make the folder name end in .app and copypaste and info.plist file and edit it
Done that and it works, now i am taking it one step further so that the game folder also acts as a kodi plugin if you move it into the kodi addons folder and then the addon.xml puts the ost and cg gallery into a kodi playlist
I also switched from forward to comparability coz forward doesn't work inside a vm and some people dont want viruses

Code quota has been met, now I can focus on making art assets again.
>>531695154In the off-chance that this actually helps someone, I'm going to give a serious answer, for lack of better things to do.
The original term refers to an experiment done by Skinner whereas a rat (or any small animal) had its behavior altered using reinforcement, punishment, conditioning (through the means of flashing lights, sounds, sometimes electric shocks) to press buttons in a certain order to directly get a reward.
The way it's used outside of the experiment, especially in the context of video games, is a system without a lot of depth where the user is also conditioned through flashing lights and sounds into doing something banal like just pressing some buttons without a lot of thinking involved (i.e. pulling the lever of a slot machine), to get a reward that also lacks substance (number goes up). This is in contrast with 1. games that require heavy involvement in playing (i.e. chess, complex war simulators like ARMA or Tarkov, etc.) or 2. games whose reward feels more substantial (discovering the true endings in games with a lot of secrets like Void Stranger/Noita, or becoming one of the best players in a MMO like EVE online which requires many different skills, or just finishing a game that supposedly leaves you with a message that lingers in your mind for many years to come. I don't play story games so I don't know any examples but I often see people cite SOMA for this.)
To use an analogy, skinnerbox is equivalent to masturbating to porn instead of having sex. There's less effort involved but the reward is less substantial too, however it still satisfies your desires on a very basic level. Whether masturbation is good or bad is up to you, I think it can be fine if not abused and used as a complete replacement for the real thing.
>>531696791I used to write stories in note books and world build in notebooks and I used to say I wanted to make Movies.
But then I got into middle school, started getting into fights . Joined sports. Got girlfriends.

>>531698334So a bunch animated 3D models turned into stylized sprites. You can generate any high quality model with AI nowadays so it can be a cool workflow
>>531698381Not MMOs with PVP and faction control like EVE, no. Just look up some of the social engineering heists they pull off in that game on Youtube. Same with stuff like Ultima or Dark Age of Camelot or Lineage 2.
Yes everything is ultimately reduced down to "number going up" if you abstract it enough, but it's about how many layers it has between what you do and that number going up. A skinnerbox is just "press button -> number going up" but the more layers, the farther away you get from skinnerbox. You don't just press a button in tactical games, you need to think ahead, consider other factors, long term thinking vs short term, etc.

>set fixed FPS target
>draw as fast as required
>set fixed physics timestep
>set fixed physics tickrate
>increment timer by incrementing with delta time every frame
>when timer reaches 1.0 / tickrate, do a physics update with the fixed timestep
So the main loop is called to reach target FPS and within it I update physics as often as required to reach the specified tickrate (which is lower than target FPS)
>>531698852Yeah his publisher has several successful games, I think that matters for them. Plus the game ranked pretty high during steam fest.
Also remember folks, this is what doing your homework on "marketing" looks like, not spamming reddit with "I'm a solo developer who made this game check it out".

>>531699528>does enginedev make sense?No.
>>531699885Well I got it working, I think. It's just that it depends on target FPS because if FPS is lower than physics tickrate then the physics can't keep up.

Crazy how easy it is for a whole ass day to go by without having the time to open my game project, fuck you unmarried nodev neets.
>>531700210Another way is to just run multiple physics ticks if needed, but obviously if you only ever aim to wake up for frames, then your frame may get delayed if it turns out there is too much other pending work to be done.
Also note that with VSync enabled your frame rendering may block, e.g. if target fps is 120 but VSync is enabled and the screen has only 60 Hz, you will not be able to draw more than 60 frames per second no matter what, usually your final present() call will just block until a frame is available.
>>531700435Fuck you humble bragging faggot.

>>531700249We all have to start somewhere.
Honestly building this kind of game loop yourself is very simple and gives you a lot of insight that can also be useful when working with a stock engine. From the questions Iโve seen ITT, many Unity/Godont users are in fact rather clueless about what logic to put into which kind of tick/frame update and so on.
>>531700495120hz is not a serious target for most devs and you should interpolate physics anyway, it's too big of an advantage
>>531696402>Raylibnice, so what were you using before?
>>531700651Reinventing the wheel but worse moment
>>531700735Of course you should interpolate physics, that is (kind of) the whole point of this conversation. If you donโt interpolate, there is not really a reason to decouple framerate from physics tick rate.

how idiotic is it to decide to make a pvp sports game as a solo developer? netcode aside, i'm concerned that cheaters would ruin my game.

>>531703453Your game being prominent enough to be ruined by cheaters would be a good problem to have.
Itโs way more likely that you will just not have any players.
my character controller is just a rigidbody with anxiety

>>531703545sure it would mean that it got popular initially but would have no staying power.
>>531703673Just donโt go too hard on the match-making / official ladder angle. If the community runs the competition, it will self-police.

why are coop games popular when a majority of gamers have no friends?
>>531703004uooooh, man, that's a good shit, gooooood shit right there... uhmmmmmmmm, yeah, right to the core of my bones, yeeeeaaahhh! Pure magic. Hit me with another one, quick!

>>5317060541 month is not soon.
>>531706548wow this is truly awful. Unreadable. You should make a game with zero dialogue if this is your level of writing. It's like saying you're making a musical game and you have the same musical ability as a toddler bonking randomly on a xylophone

The following dev has proven exemplary:
>(You)
>>531703004It's different. With boomers you can appeal to nostalgia. Zoomers are used to minecraft and roblox existing along with cod, fortnite and lol. They don't care if the game has low budget visuals or not. To them it's normal for there to be this huge variety while boomers associate certain visual styles with certain eras of gaming.
>>531707189I would absolutely play a game written like this. Needs illustrations/models of the same quality to set the vibe though.
>>531708357that's a fucking lie and you know it
I have a good feeling about gamedev today.
>be me
>visit /3/
>cris died
>respect the deceased faggot

I can do anything.
Because I don't care what others think.
I make this game for myself first and foremost.
The rest are just an afterthought.

Still learning Godon't and gamedev, but I've now decided to take the game into a different direction which means changing all the art and menus. Might still be a clicker game, I dunno but it'll have better art and some goblins probably.
I'm thinking of adding a sexy, milf shopkeeper as well... or maybe a cute guild manager.
Still wondering how to make it an actual game and make it fun and engaging while googling stuff when I get stuck. Can I make it to demo day, I wonder.
i think i can have enough of an engine done in a month

>>531715345anon the fpu inside your cpu can handle 512bit floats
Space is all about the floating bits.
Progress time.
I've added dialogue before the game starts just so that the player gets a bit of context on what he needs to do.
I've made some changes to the combat, changed it so that when the player bumps into other party members and they can deal damage when hitting enemy pucks.
Added sfx for selecting new tiles, or if the tile is locked and cannot be accessed.

>>531713796knowing programming languages is nepotism, but other than that, yeah it's really hard to make a game.
it's annoying wanting to do something and not knowing how. everyone else is able to do this, but everytime i try i end up running into some technical issue that i have to figure out, and i just don't feel like it, or the thing that i try to get working just flat out doesn't work because i don't know what i'm doing.
i know i would be better at this if i knew what to do, but i don't. this is the pain that comes with starting gamedev

>>531718314They can still file requests to Steam and Valve likely side with them due to ease of proof. Plus if they have a record label it may have some legal body in the West to protect against such situations.

>>531717331>>531698852Man I wish I could come up with simple game ideas like these but I just can't. My idea of fun is content and complexity and that takes years to build up. I was never meant to be a solodev, maybe should've went down the Kojima route and first get hired at a company.

You can cope and seethe all day long but that's just the way it is.
>>531717789Ok? I'm not sure he did, plus since when was Trainwiz an agdg darling to be held up as an example to follow?
>>531717818If you're relying on AI for art then graphics aren't the selling point of your game either.

If a game does succeed and it's later revealed that they used AI graphics then it's community drama and the dev has to be like "uh I hired an artist I swear, they just used AI without m-my knowledge!"There's also plenty of games that used generative AI and were honest about and sold well. And how many games on Steam are using AI without a disclosure? Probably more than you want to think. You really are a deranged troon if being called one hurts you so much.
>>531718909My stance on AI art and AI use in general will not change just because of some posts on 4chan.

>>531719761>People will try to gatekeep because it's in their interest, either financially or any other form of perceived control.Exactly. This is all about control, controlling you. Artists are not looking out for YOUR bottom line, ever, they are very self-centred people, and they, and their proxies, the fans, are trying to ensure that they can still control you and your finances, regardless if it's viable for you or not, even abstaining from basic logic.
And I'm sure the AAA industry is happy to throw some more gasoline into the fire to further disturb the indie scene and take out an enormous risk and competitor to them.

Switched to HDRP, had to reimplement camera system because before I was using 2 cameras to render everything now I use one. Wasn't easy but it worked in the end.
Now weapon is also getting shadows from the environment. I'm going full photoreal because it's the current thing to do and there's plenty of resources online vs. if I were to do retro graphics it would be an uphill battle
