this is the day /agdg/ almost died...
fucking YES there is harm in throwing in the towel.
I have no other prospects. I will keep making games until I make a masterpiece or get very lucky or I fucking die or get alzheimers.
I'll generate some nice terrains, cliffs and rocks, you'll see

anyone knows a good course for sculpting that uses base meshes and any shortcuts possible instead of doing things from scratch?
>>531900586make your dream game now, better fail sooner than later. when you do fail though, don't give up. give it some time, then try again.
Should I make a steam account just for dev or just link it to my regular one
>>531900791Link
It's never outright stated which steam account owns a game unless you put it out on blast.
>>531900586Sure, why not. I recommend doing some game jams.

>>531901097based fashist dev
>>531901635The best way is with a domain-specific scripting language like Ren'Py, ink, or whatever dialogue framework is most popular in your engine (you should absolutely be using one). The next best is some markup language like JSON or XML.
>>531901416>Future Phantoms should be "finished" before next DDnice but, why is "finished" in quotes?
>>531902167I-my friend is using Godot. But the key phrase here is dialogue framework. Thank you sir.
>>531901875The true fascist state is based upon anorexic goth witches who rules society with fashion, sneering looks an derisive comments.
What are the whiny defeatist assholes even doing in the thread, is it just an AI?

>>531902240I have already feature-creeped the current version far beyond what I initially planned. It will probably happen again.
For instance... I would like to make a big quest sequence for that train, add a graveyard with a quest attached and add more dialogue to all npcs.
>>531902883>fancy third worlder

just go outside and pick a fruit from a fruit tree you lazy nigger
>>531903002I guess it'd be good to finish it before more feature creep comes. The problem with the game anyway is that I don't think anybody outside agdg would actually understand it that much.

>>531908192Well, we need to know what we are calling it for here.
Every single time someone looks at an above-average /agdg/ game and goes
>NoOOOOOOOOOOO you have to improve MORE. optimize MORE. polish MORE.
I think of this image
>>531908463what if you just remove the porn part and focus more on the game part
>>531904991here's my feedback - wtf is even happening in this game? It looks too complicated, I don't even want to turn it on
>>531899647Are boob physics a solved problem?
we have the mountains
great success
>>531909000>Breton or Dark Elf
>>531909323No. Most games really half ass their boob physics and they basically act like bowling balls on a spring.
You need soft body physics if you're going to do it properly.
>>531909064It's not that complicated.
You put a rocket, fuel and a radio on a box so it can go into space and collect data so you can unlock cargo and ship satellites so you can afford better rockets and travel to other planets so you can afford crewed missions so you can afford colonies.
>>531902140this is looking great
it's impossible to dev games without an artslut
>look over notes for next game
>realize it's going to appeal to no one but myself
>persist
>>531909731Relax, branno.
>>531909000This never happened
There's no "above-average" "agdg" "games"
>>531909370How does it look up close? In my experience with Gaea it looks pretty bad because even at 4k because it's such a massive size. I guess you can shrink it down artificially and keep the terrain at a smaller scale which would give more detail but then you won't have a massive landscape in the distance. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong though.
Why shouldn't I use AI to write a script for my game?
English is my second language and ChatGPT easily outclasses my writing.
It is also million times faster and is able to research stuff on the fly.
I will just edit and plan and reformulate. Raw writing work is done by it.

>>531910030>a pond was boiled so you could be given incorrect code
>>531909000FUCK the inner circle
Fact. If you post about a project more than once before starting it, you're ngmi. You've already released your dev pressure once, and you have no more left. That's a hazard.
>>531910541I don't think so. it's just some aesthetic I'll have to iterate on and bring from my imagination.
>>531910714I've been releasing dev pressure all morning. I can't stop. It's everywhere.
>>531910714I guess I'm superhuman then
>>531909771I get you, brother
Main Project fatigue is real, so I decided to work on a prototype.
Idea started as a Poker Idle, but it slowly morphed into something else. Still don't know what exactly, but I'll work on it over the weekend and see what comes out of it.
>>531910602Kiss the inner circle.
>>531911550you're a fag. I'm so tired of your caring relatable bitchboy shtick at this point
>>531909771I think you need to work with the goal of publishing it at some point in mind.
However, nothing creative is ever done by large groups of people.
Like you can have 100 make a game, but if more than a handful of people are calling the shots then it'll be a souless failure.
>>531909000this except i think of this image
>>531911727How is it idle?
>>531912132very cris like
>>531912343balatro, but anything is a great idea what the fuck
let me cook
>>531912132this is going to be the next nubby's number factory
>>531912046The initial idea was to have the player start with 1 random card, and manually play that card to gain points from High Card. Then use the points to buy new cards and so on.
Then I was thinking of adding auto-hands, which would detect possible hands from the cards in the players deck and so on.
The idea came to me while I was on the shitter.
>>531911727yeah, this is why I don't come to this place anymore

can you just add "roguelike" to any existing game or theme idea? like what if Pokemon was a roguelike? Or what if Uncharted 2 was a roguelike? A roguelike... drug dealer sim?
Honestly letting your dev pressure build up too much is bad too.
>>531917501Shota chads deserve the world.
I'm going to make lots of proggers today, sisters. You'll see.
>>531917501Usually, the formula is [arcade game, but roguelike]. You take an old school "Nintendo hard" game, procgen level the levels, and add randomized power-ups.

honestly fuck my stupid dumbass retard life
I can't even properly implement the most basic of fucking systems
how can I even call myself a programmer
it just fucking segfaults and I don't know why. what is wrong with me man
>>531917501Rise of The Tomb Raider had DLC (which is included with the GOTY edition) that is basically Roguelite treasure hunting. You're dropped in the middle of nowhere, you have to keep warm, look for resources, fight with enemies and search for tombs to find relics. It was suprisingly fun and you could play it with co-op. So, yes, you can make roguelite out of anything. Just have a vague goal and a lot of variables that will change the battlefield on the fly. I'm gonna make my own roguelite soon with a totally fresh idea.
>>531919952dude segfaults only happen for certain reasons
>>531914694>he doesn't know
A game is basically just a giant collection of if statements and for loops
>>531920206yeah, such as the language trusting a dumbass to write proper code

>>531920582>naming thingsNot a problem
>>531920131that sounds pretty fun actually
>>531919689>grannyinteresting form of seething for an incel kek
I swear it's not just a balatro clone.
Due to the items in my inventory (not yet visible) every time we evaluate a card:
* If its value is higher than the value of the card above it, gain 1 point
* If it has the same suit as the bottommost (last) card in the stack, gain points equal to the value of the last scored card
Does this look somewhat fun?
the system is still broken even after reverting changes
Do any Unity devs here use cursor? Seems promising.
>>531922139>it's not just a balatro clone.it's a solitaire battle perhaps?
>>531922139man, make the suits something cool like middle earth races, or demon classes with cool icons to represent them, make the deck have other number of cards instead of 13/suit. irl people use this good old boring deck because it's expected that people will have it, so you can play 100 games, but in the computer you don't have to restrain yourself
>>531922495I use windsurf
>>531922821Snarky. Hope diabolodev releases that soon. I'd say i'm copying more from nubby than balatro.
my game is going to use .ogv files as save files, all game variables like health, has_item_1, has_item_2, world_x, world_y, level_id etc are stored as key=value pairs in the .ogv file using vorbiscomment
the game is always saving each frame to a circular buffer the positions and animation states of the camera and all active objects, upon pausing and saving, it pops a now saving... screen, under that it has a lower-resolution subviewportal that spawns obejcts at positions and animation states from the history, and renders the image_texture to a temp file on the harddisk, then the next one, and does it for the whole time period like 3 seconds worth of game at say 30fps or so.
then it calls commandline tool libtheora example_encoder to encode those frames into a video-only .ogv file, then it calls vorbiscomment tool to write all the savegame key-value pairs, then it is done an the now saving... screen can disappear.
then on the load screen, the thumbnail is animated by using the runtime .ogv playback capability, and it doesn't load the system by having to actually load every possible savefile in a subviewportal just to animate the previews, it just plays vids, and then when you choose one to load it reads and applies the key-values to bring you to that part of the game with your health items and boss states all applied from the file.
and each save file is a single stand-alone file not a bunch of messy sidecar files or some custom format.
vorbis allows up to 4gb of comments data, and it is utf-8 encoding so json can be stored directly and binary data can be stored via base64 or something like this https://github.com/jedisct1/d8code
because it is sidescroller and most frames are similar content they should compress well
>>531922139why shouldn't you just play this with actual cards
>>531922495Why don't you use Neovim like a real dev
>>531889749Does google say youโre getting lots of views? Do any of your purchasers mention your google ads?
So youโre paying about $750 a month total then.
For that same price you could run a 15s ad at a movie theater for a month. Or maybe get a small print or magazine spot.
Try cutting your google spend and saving it up until you can drop a grand on a print ad or a move prescreen ad campaign etc. Higher impact stuff.
I wonder what game the janny that always lurks this thread is working on..I doubt they'd be here if they weren't a dev themselves

>>531925606the nice thing about gamedev is that indians dont play games

What does this even mean? I didn't update anything. Got an error saying CharacterController.Move called on an inactive controller. It wasn't there when I ran the project yesterday before closing it.

>>531926813reopened it, but I still get the error. My character controller doesn't work with the physics engine now.
>>531925606Good thinking. Im purposefully not going to translate to Hindi just so I can avoid this. There will be no Hebrew or Turkish options either.
>>531927312For me? It's Unity 2027.
>>531925606It's an arcade game but maybe I will add continues at the cost of resetting the player's score to zero. The player can also make the game harder voluntarily by increasing the game's speed at any time. Thinking about maybe adding a time bonus as an incentive. Maybe I will increase the number of levels if I add continues.

They didn't think this could be used against them, like okay we're good enough for 2025 EA lets just go make a movie about santa's elves. Its insane really. Publishers can be bloodsucking vampires but if they can put the studio to work and actually deliver a good game then I'll have no complaints.
A fucking christmas movie? REALLY?

It's been so many years. And this is one of the top rated assets. So the real problem is not that some assets are missing on the store, it is that the assets are always incomplete or have serious bugs etc.

What is the best way to handle hitboxes in a 3D game?
The scenario is that you have the player character who can have multiple weapons with multiple types of attacks.
At the moment i have a hitbox for each weapon & attack type that activate and following the swing animation. After the animation occurs the hitbox is deactivated and returns to the original spot. This doesn't feel particularly scalable as I could easily have 100+ hitboxes for each weapon & attack type animation.

Non-compliant developers will be relocated to โFocus Campsโ to reflect on their laziness.
>>531957965Long time ago I also remember reading something like, porn content can lead to shady stuff like sex trafficking. And payment companies don't want to get involved in that. The big companies I think can use visa/mastercard for payment, so I think it's not the sexual content in itself but the transparency and not being involved in shady stuff. I remember they pressured onlyfans, because on there there are a lot of content creators and you cannot police them or track their behaviours. But if it's a big company they are more visible and have to be more transparent. They are more out in the open in contrast to some small account on onlyfans.

New stat screen. I was thinking about it for a while and when I finally started I realized my mind was thinking about 4:3 ratio and I had way too little vertical space. Still, I think it turned out nicely, but I still have to add perks somewhere.
Descriptions are much bigger. I realized that player needs to have much more context to know what is possible and to leave little to guesswork.That means stat descriptions couldn't be shown all at once, so now only the highlighted stat shows description on the bottom. Place for Dirk portrait was just a loose idea but the more I waited the more I wanted to have a visual representation of stats.
Feedback appreciated - is the layout comfy enough? Is stat font maybe too big?

>>531937973I think there'd be some money in making "synty compatible" character packs but with a style that doesn't look like ass. So that devs making games using synty assets could buy your character packs to not look like a synty-like because those characters are what gets recognized.
Alternatively just making a lot of character packs in whatever style works for you. Problem is you need a lot to get going because people won't buy them if your selection doesn't have everything to make a game.

I can modify the default new monobehaviour script template, but I want to keep it.
I guess there is no way of adding your own templates. Maybe I'll add a blank script and duplicate it when I want to create a new one. Then it will be included in the compilation process. It shouldn't but I guess it doesn't hurt much.

I'll keep checking it. Also in Unity 6 they may have changed those numbers in some way it feels like. Because in my Unity folder new monobehaviour template starts with 1-. In that repo it's 43.

at least your progress is good
what kind of game are you making
I'm trying to understand SDL. Following a tutorial and just typing stuff into VS code I don't feel like I understand.
Like I understand that SDL_init initializes the library, but what does that really mean? I don't understand what exactly its doing under the hood.
Am I obsessing over pointless information? Is this veering more into comp sci than gamedev?
My game is very anti-Western. So if you're a westie you might get really offended by it, and by its very negative portrayal of Western countries and Western socio-political institutions.
>>531973829Yeah, for my engine all I did was hook it up and then focus on building the engine.
focus on more important things first is my strategy.
>>531973829>Is this veering more into comp sci than gamedev?Your veering from nodev into an ever deeper nodev death spiral.
>>531973829It just sets a bunch of stuff that if things ever went wrong, would tell you immediately that SDL can't work. It's not pointless information, but you'd be better off just copying all the code to set up a window because it gets heavy soon after.
Explain why I shouldn't use AI voice acting in my game without sounding like a raging twitter tranny.
>>531974079Your writing is stiff and voice acting doesn't save it.

>>531973829shaders are a trap
Dialogue Trees must be single-branching. The correct answer is pre-selected.
Do I learn sdl by just going through everything in the index one by one
>>531973829Youโre free to dig into the SDL code to find out that SDL_init really does. If youโre interested in that kind of thing. It will be educational.
But yes, if you just wanna make game, you donโt need to further bother with it. The core is, the SDL library needs to set up a bunch of information for itself, before it can do all the things it does for you. This is done on the SDL_init call.
>>531974451SDL doesn't even have shaders without OpenGL.
>>531974205It's uh... Both.
>>531974523No, you learn it by using it, but going through everything is a good way to use it.
>>531974496Gigadevs do this
>Hug Brad>Leave him
>>531974332>tfw anon has an idea that's almost exactly like yours
>>531974152How would you know my writing is stiff? You never even read it.
>>531974523No really point in going through the index. You can rest assured that SDL can do for you:
>create the game window>handle all sorts of user inputs (keyboards, mice, gamepads, what have you)>copy pieces of textures (pngs) to the screen>a bunch of other stuff that your standard library or smaller libraries may also offer (net, timers, sound, ..)So JLMG and whenever you need any of this stuff just look up which SDL functions to use.

>>531975914>>531975750This is the most risque character, I guess american are not as repressed as I though.
I just spent half a day fixing a bug that the game only worked in compatibility renderer, vulkan renderer only gave a blank screen. I had to restore previous project version to a different folder, and copy across and reintegrate all my new files. nothing else would work. I think trying to make the splash screen transparent corrupted the vulkan renderer mode somehow but even when i copied the old project file back over and relaunched it still broken. I debugged it and tried different things for almost 6 hours. Now its fixed and I'm back to coding.
When my game has reached the point where all basics of 1 level vertical slice are in and I begin just polishing the movement, mechanics, working on dorky systems like adaptive music, stuff like that. like once I have character controller, enemies, level chunking working, I am going to save up $500 a month and spend it on commissions for 3d model sculpting, 3d model rigging, 3d model animating for my main character and the enemies. this will make the game look good and then it will be able to start attracting popularity. I will research where you find modellers and riggers when I'm at that stage, probably pixiv and using google translate i guess. its crazy what a different good art can make, i'd say programmers shouldn't even bother with programmer art, just block model with primitives like spawn a MeshInstance with a BoxMesh and call that your guy.
>>531975998The steam review team has likely seen things that are way more risque, it doesn't even pass their radar. They've seen tens of thousands of games. I'm positive the gen x there are blind to anything you see.
>>531975750Anon, steam refused because it lack porn content.

>>531979375actually this is the problem with most games with progression systems.
the truth is that progression systems never serve a game itself, they only ever serve "the player". the game itself will always retain better balance and more tight design without the progression system, but exploiting human psychological biases can makes the game more engaging for the player despite ultimately hurting the game.
>>531979572if ai gets to that point you won't have mmos anymore because people will lose the capacity to interact with other humans and will just play single player games with ai characters larping as other people that constantly suck your dick and gaslight you into thinking you're the greatest video games player ever

>>531979994>In a traditional RPG you kill a boss, get loot, gain levels, then fight a harder boss.I have never played a game with a progression system that became more challenging as it went on. eventually the game alwa breaks under the weight of the rpg mechanics and you start overpowering everything. most recent example in terms of rpg would be baldur's gate 3 which is a game of fun and challenging puzzly encounters until you reach level 8 where you then start to steam roll the rest of the game's combat encounters. same with with its speech deception etc. stats, as the game progresses, you mitigate the chance of failure more and more.
or most recently, death stranding 2. i understand that logistics are inherently about efficiency and optimisation, but what you get as a gameplay experience is that you need to be mindful for the first few hours, and that's fun, and then it just breaks away and over the course of the game you just unlock more more powerful tools that trivialise traversal.
if you know of a game with progression mechanics that actually does manage to get more challenging as it goes on, please do tell.
My ideal game is a single player MMORPG-like. A world born solely for the player. The other players are manned like bots and do things imperfectly so the player can use the "meta" and do things efficiently and surpass all of them. You can turn on or leave off the option for the other "players" to progress when you're "offline". This world is perfectly simulated, you can trade, build guilds and even have simulated "updates" to the game that changes how the game is played over time on that save file such as new classes, item balances, new areas, etc. You can replay with a new file to know these changes in advance and game the system in that "alternative life". The goal can be to be the "number one in the world" or you can play until the last "update" where the MMORPG have to "close down".

>>531981015I won't deny there's potentially some games like that, but in games like Noita and Slay the Spire there is not a way to guarantee a victory lap.
How do I make sprite assets quickly and easily?
Like I really need a tool that makes all the boxes the size I want and then allows me to have like a layer behind for animation and shit.
>>531981171>what is aseprite
>>531981102With Noita I can somewhat agree simply due to its volatile nature, but I also don't think Noita is very heavy in terms of progression systems at all.
In slay the spire, on my successful runs I'd always end up with some synergy of cards that steam rolled
>>531980474The first PoE does at least to some extent. The endgame bosses do have quite complex mechanical requirements compared to the bosses in the campaign. (In PoE2 they screwed up, giving all bosses complex mechanics, and now itโs also like you describe, game only gets easier.)
Of course you can play trade or follow some FOTM build guide and mostly steamroll the (non-uber) versions of the endgame bosses. But if you play self-found and try to make your own build, you WILL have to play the mechanics and it will not be easy.
I would also count the original WoW somewhat, first 20 levels gradually get harder, overall the curving of monster stats until the 60 is quite crisp and you donโt really outpace it even with the best builds. I mean, you can outpace it if you run a lot of dungeons, but your overall leveling progress will be slower that way. Also the raid tiers have a pretty clear progression in terms of mechanical requirements, at least if you discount nerfs.
But yeah overall youโre right, just listing a few outliers.

>>531981891Yes, Hardcore WoW has been tremendous fun. Suddenly so much players banding together just to do slightly-hard quests and so on. When before everybody just ignored each other rushing through the leveling phase.
I believe a semi-hardcore MMO where you get timed out on death (for a few hours maybe, or incremental-with-decay like r9k) could become a HUGE thing. Hope some studio picks up that idea sooner or later.

>>531979204sounds like you're coming up with excuses because you're not willing to admit that you're a failure
>>531983205what's the worst ufo 50 game so i can understand the comparison better

>>531979994>In a traditional RPG you kill a boss, get loot, gain levels, then fight a harder boss.Soulslikes burned your brain. Early game in RPGs was always the most difficult one because your character(s) are weak and every rat can kill you with couple of bites. And difficulty is not only in defeating bosses outside of soulslike genre. An RPG could be without boss encounters at all and that alone does not make it bad.
>>531983453>Soulslikes burned your brainbut those also get easier and easier as you progress

>>531983397Juan must hate the fact that Godot is being singlehandedly carried by Brotato, a game that has misogyny built right into its very name and is filled with Nazi imagery.

>people I hate and that hate me want to do all the grunt work for free so I can make millions and use that money to fund things that makes them seethe
what's the problem?
>>531983453What games other than Wizardy were that difficult in the early game?
>>531976716I haven't tested it to be 100% sure, but I suspect it must have been an overide.cfg in the root of the project messing the settings up each time it launches, maybe. I had already started migrating to the other project when i saw these override.cfg files that some plugin must have made for some reason.
but the thing is, the vulkan renderer shouldn't go all black just becauses of window transparency, the compatability renderer doesnt have that problem, everything renders in full color just you see the window contents behind the program where you'd normally see the skybox. and I had other lights in the level not just sky lighting only, so I don't know. and no code changes between the broken and working ones i ran diff on the project.godot and the scenes .tscn as well, exactly the same. and I deleted the .godot project, i even rebooted my computer. one folder works, another doesn't, and i couldn't find what was different about them. and even if i did find the difference, i'm sure it shouldn't have broken the vulkan renderer, its not like there should be an option that says "make vulkan render a black screen only no matter what" you know, I just can't help but think if I had have resorted to copying changed files out to a new checkout folder earlier I would have actually saved a lot of time.

there people looking for how to make one array a merger of two other arrays in godot. there is no join or merge method, search it and people are asking, their only solution is to make a series of mutating method calls newbigarray.append_array(other_array_n)
actually at the very bottom of the docs on the Array type they have overloaded operators, so you can do it in the initialization which means it can be done at global scope as part of the variable definition
var wegetstarters:Array[Callable]=[onStart,onStart1,onStart2,onStart3]
var wegetstoppers:Array[Callable]=[onStop,onStop1,onStop2,onStop3]
var allsorts:Array[Callable]=wegetstarters+wegetstoppers
i coded a real clock in my game using math (for all the zoomers in the thread, a clock is a device we used to tell time before smart phones)
>>531984243Why is it so off
>>531984163>>531983248>>531983205tl;dr on ufo50alikes? is it the return of the atari combo cart
>>531984243ok but where's the gameplay?
>>531984312>watching a clock can't be gameplay???
>>531984276it's just an indie bundle with a shared frontend where everyone involved makes $0.02 per sale
>>531984265it has a variable for speed so that i (the developer) can decide how fast an ingame day is compared to a real life (day) is
i have not figured out exaclty how this conversion works however
>>531984243Good job anon. Pretty sure i used the same tutorial as you. I like small touches like this in a game
Wonder why nobody has made an nsfw games store with crypto payments
>>531984441isn't that what gog is
>>531979542idk. what did you ask
>>531984441Because I report every attempt to the FBI
>>531983670it's more what it did to the players who melted their brains with it and how that brain damage reflects back into the world
>>531984441if they got valve to bend, they'll get your site too
itch is next then kill
>>531984441Crypto is too volatile to make consistent payments with. I'm not against crypto but you're literally dealing with a currency that could potentially lose a shit ton of its value in a matter of minutes.
>>531984381>it's just an indie bundlehmm, nah, it has a whole 'fantasy console' they are developed for, reoccurring characters, chronological release order(early games are simpler), sequels etc.
>>531984381>shared frontendWhich is actually a really good idea, especially when you loosely tie them all together through unlockable content via secrets/collectibles across multiple games.
Also kind of reminds me of those old sampler discs from the Win95/98 days, random one that I found on YT:

>>531984635nobody cares about "m-muh lore" retard
>>531984729you think the game just popped off because it's a lot of games in one?
>>531983205Learning my favorite game from last year was made in GameMaker sealed the deal. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.
With the help of both tutorials and ChatGPT (because sometimes tutorials are frustrating due to lack of similarity between versions and offering no alternatives if the process they describe doesn't work for whatever reason), I got this far with a demo in about an hour. Whoever told me it could be done in a day was mostly right and it was very encouraging to hear that.

>>531981302what's inner circler?
Some new sprites for Dion that reflect the addition of monster pots. Since the player always has a sword hanging over their head, I think it could be fun to use that to their advantage at times, particularly in killing enemies that are in the way. The player would have to jump so that the sword would come down on the enemy. Some enemies might be needed for solve a room's puzzle to get to the end, so for the player to not be softlocked, this is what the monster pots could be for. They could be picked up and put down, but not thrown. Also, if the player's to get hit and restart at their starting point, it needs to be programmed for the pot to disappear and then reappear at its original point.
To add some risk to killing enemies, the player still has to watch for enemies that can jump or throw a projectile, which can sever the thread holding the sword, which results in the player's death.
I also added some "hurt" sprites for Dion. The idea is that touching an enemy, a hazard, or falling off stage would not result in a lost life, but trigger a three second cooldown before Dion respawns at his original point in that stage. I feel like this opens up a lot of space for the player to experiment in their interactions with enemies and hazards, and that enemies and hazards can be made more difficult than what might be found in a typical action arcade game. The only guaranteed lost life is if 1) the player runs out of time, or 2) something severs the sword's thread.
>>531985496Oh shit the Pizza Tower of the original Mario/DK game is here
Very soulful
>>531985124you'll have to be more specific
with the exception of a handful of 3dfx games, everything back then was software rendered so techniques were all over the place, a lot of games just did everything full bright, or just basic ambient light levels with no real light source, or you just faked lighting through the textures, you could bake lighting into maps via vertex colors or you had like quake that had full on baked lightmaps, when you had dynamic lights in games it was usually only like one or two at a time through vertex lighting
i wonder how they sold people on that gamemaker is easy for beginners when godot is designed in such a way that it exposes highest and easiest level of it to you by default, making it easy to use the abstracted layer and being able to hack the lower levels of the engine when you need
>>531985861Gamemaker just works. Godot has you having to fix pixel jitter on your first platformer.
>>531985861Unity is so much better than Godot
Notice how anon didn't say Godot was better than anything but anons jumped anyway.
>>531984549that wasnโt a problem for silkroad either lol
>>531984441pressure isnโt high enough yet
also if you really go full illegal (no proper company behind it), users might as well pirate the games, same kind of risk
if you stay legal, your "real money" pipeline can STILL get sanctioned, i.e. you can take crypto payments but your bank accounts all get canceled. now what are you going to do?
>>531986014anon asked for answers
basedot is the preferred engine for racists and neo-nazis
>>531986041You never said anything nice about my game, so you deserve the same
>>531984441Well for better or for worse, Trump does seem serious about his crypto agenda so maybe we'll see something
>>531986041your game looks good so crabs hate it
>>531985934I guess you're right. I never did use gamemaker (it is paid after all) but I just feel like at this point godot can entirely supercede it right? It just looks like a less powerful godot.
As for the pixel jitter there's an option that you tick in the settings btw called gpu pixel snap and it just works, but it's kinda hacky. I guess godot's worst downfall is you have to actually hack at some point and beginners don't wanna do that
>>531986135>agdg should be a hugbox not a serious exchange of criticism
>>531986189Godot already supercedes GameMaker. GameMaker is just grandfathered in so it's easier to recommend.
>>531986310then you shouldn't be hugboxed either
Godot if a worse version of GameMaker with 3D capabilities that not a single Godot game with more than 10 sales actually uses anyways.
>>531986173I'm flattered. The game's inspiration came from the Greek myth of Damocles, of course, but also Donkey Kong 3. You're supposed to push DK up by blasting air at him, otherwise he starts to climb down the ropes. It's very slow and it very rarely actually happens, but if you take too long doing so he'll climb all the way down and just kill you.

>>531986135try making a game that endears nice comments
>>531986189The only reason gamemaker gets recommended around here is because there's a handful of dudes who still use it and they've been around longer than when Godot had like three people use it.
>>531986624You can seethe all you want, those years you spent learning Godot were wasted. You need to face reality.
>>531986574>what is cruelty squad
>>531986591I did. You all become rabidly jealous
>>531985496Why it looks like it's a Mario 2 OG Doki Doki Yuuenchi game? What's the gameplay like, do you have a webm?
ENGINES DON'T MATTER
Unity is the most straightforward for my workflow
>>531986784I don't feel jealous towards even the greatest games of all time, and not towards any games of my peers, why would I feel it towards your game? I just get inspired
>>531986850Post workflow.
>>531986784I guess I'd be a little jealous if your game was like my game but better, alas nobody is making my original like.
>>531986574>those people who force 3D into GameMaker
>>531986850>ENGINES DON'T MATTERI'd say languages also don't matter. jlmg
>>531987038Do it. Use haskell.
>>531986574>>531986763>You need to face reality.Take a good look in the mirror first.
>those years were wastedNothing is wasted, because the concept is the same in nearly every engine and anyone with a brain should have no problem to switch if it were necessary.
>>531986780This, and it made millions (in Godot).
>>531987112I initially thought peripeteia was godot because it had that old-school look to it and I associated that with godot lol
>>531987112Post your game.
>>531986831This is all I got for now.
>>531984772Three major issues I gotta figure out. 1) The sword drops twice upon running the game in quick succession before it starts dropping after thirty seconds like it should. 2) The sword can be avoided when it falls, it's not tracking the player upon falling. 3) Screen wraparound is fucked. Before, it was making the player jitter violently going from one side to the other. Now the draw event is a lot smoother, but for some reason now the player keeps falling through the floor when they show up on the other side. I added a small buffer outside the visible boundary of the room to see if this would help, but it hasn't.
As for the gameplay, here's how it would work. You start with 30 seconds in each stage to reach the exit door. Each second that ticks down, you can see the cursed sword's thread getting shorter and shorter. When time expires, the sword will fall and kill you no matter where you try to go. You'll need to do some platforming and also blow bubbles to capture enemies and move them in the right place to jump and bounce off of.
You can find hourglass items to extend your time by 15 seconds, but there's a catch - it also lengthens the thread, lengthening the hit box that could sever the thread by enemies. So if a pixel represents a second, if you get an hourglass or two when you have roughly 20 seconds left, suddenly that thread is 50 long instead of 30. This could make getting past certain enemies or hazards very difficult if not almost impossible. It would teach resource management, maybe the solution is to try and keep the thread short if the hazards are tough to get by. However, the more time the player has left over, the more they would get in points, so it's all risk/reward.
>>531960291I like this.
gives a Fallout/Arcanum vibe
>>531960291stealth images being just four different kinds of squatting is sorta underwhelming
kek at high charisma pic
fun idea overall, I like it
>>531960291Good job, keep up the high effort
>>531983537Retards will always exist.
>>531985009but that thread proves you wrong
you're a soulless gacha peasant
>>531988509They didn't exist in the past and there's a good chance they won't in the future either.
>>531988265Put in the high effort when it counts. It's okay to keep it simple most of the time so you don't burn out. A game can have highs and lows, in fact that's more exciting for the player.
does your game allow mudsex?
